also able to run on natural gas.

what about bio-diesel?

that'd be thinking green and ahead nissan!

i've never really gotten to tear into a propane motor, pretty much stuck with heavy diesels, but all the fork lifts were propane powered, never an issue with those, plenty of power, but again it's a fork lift purpose built.

my buddy just picked up a 08 chebby 3500 duramax backed with an allison... i hope he buys a programmer, then maybe a propane injection kit.. needless to say i'll no longer race my GM buddy

Dangerous info..use at your own risk.

more than half of the public transportation vehicles on the road are propane enriched....

...Hank Hill has never been prouder.

I was just in Austrailia they had the Nissan Navara 4.0L and the 2.5L diesels didnt have any v8's though they were nothing special just a stock truck they were the same size as the frontier not very good on towing big trailers though www.nissan.com.au

Nissan may need this Diesel motor to compete with Toyota and the big 3. I'm sure it will be pretty expensive like the rest of the diesels.

DonP · 01-11-2008, 09:18 PM

that wouldn't be such a bad idea.

BigNate · 01-14-2008, 10:58 AM

Nissan needs to do something, maybe even change the body style alittle, make people want to buy the Titan again. The Tundra is out and that's what everyone is talking about. when i first saw the titan in 04 I fell in love. Now I'm starting to like the tundra because its new, different and more powerful. I think nissan needs more power, they need to come pre-filted to be alittle higher than the competition, maybe 2" higher, and the standard tire on the off-road package should be the BFG all-terrian KO like Hummer. It might cost a little more, but when it is the meanest truck on the road, people are going to want it and they will do what they have to, to get one. If they come out with a 415 horse power Titan, I would trade my old titan in today! You never know, it might happen.

I just can't fathom why Nissan would opt for the Navstar or Ford Diesel over a Cummins, as Cummins is coming out with some smaller displacement engines for the 1/2 on Ram.

The 6.0 and 6.4 Powerstrokes are turning out to be real nightmares for Ford. Hence, Ford is dropping the 6.4 in a couple years for an in-house developed diesel.

Personally, with possible Nissan, and Chrysler collaboration ahead, why the Cummins isn't finding it's way into a Titan, is beyond me.

It is the only diesel of the big three that's rated medium duty, as the Duramax and Powerstroke are rated light duty.
