titan taking on water must read

[duckslayer56]

if you have a titan and are serious about off roading you need to know about this i know a new truk this day and time is not a mud toy however tere is a happy medium i recently was in a muddy field working on my duck hunting spot when i left i got on the gravel road and hit a puddle about 2 minutes later it lost all power and died i got out and i checked the oil and all fluids to check for water it was all fine i opened the air box and found a wet filter covered in mud i had a similar problem before but thought nothing about it it would get up to around 2400 rpm and then it would act like a rev limiter so i did the same thing and found just the tiniest wet spot on the filter took it out and cleaned it put it back in and it ran great but back to the problem the truck blew black smoke and sputtered the truck was towed to nissan and now i have a 1100 dollar bill for a new mass air flow sensor and other bs they automatically said not under warantee some four wheeler truck of the year nissan has never stood behind anything they build if you have similiar problems please respond

I would fight that warranty claim till the end. Call Nissan yourself. Dont depend on just the dealer. That is total crap! It makes me want to go out and burry mine just so that I could fight with them on it. Chevy tried it with me on a power steering pump and I one the battle.

It sounds like what you call a "puddle" was more like a lake! It'd take something pretty deep for water and MUD to get sucked into the intake to the point of drowning your MAF sensor. It can't just be splashed, it would have to have been submerged in mud. Looking at my truck, there's really no way for it to get splashed from the wheelwell area. Nissan probably didn't cover it because nowhere on the Titan does it say SUBMARINE. Maybe you should look into something like a Jeep with a snorkle kit for extreme off-roading. Sorry it cost you so much though.

I know it is frustrating to you but after looking at my Titan if you got water up to the
air intake you need to buy a snorkle for the type of driving you are doing. I would also
suggest you extend the vents on the axles and such up higher also.
