* RUMOR * I heard from friends at the Smyrna plant is that CAT has a "light duty" engine that Nissan is interested in. It has the same cool ability to shut down cylinders based on load and gas peddle mash. Turbo of course. And the number being put with it is 2007 ... not sure if that means model year 2007 or available in calendar year 2007 (as a 2008). Power seems to be there with the neighbor hood of 475hp and 675#ft tq. And the ability to get around 27mpg on the highway.
There was also some design issues we crossed while doing some mock up for my straight axle conversion ... the upper spring perches align with in a 1/4" of where they should when a Dodge front axle was put under it ... makes me thing Nissan may go straight axle on the HD.
Only real concern I have is where are they going to get a GOOD tranny to mount up the power ?
