Sorry to hear about your uncle, but you are pretty lucky to be left such a low mileage titan. The knock is not trim specific-every titan trim has the same engine.

 

Yes XD your right....So the SV, Pro-4X and the SL are all XD models ..
So I am a candidate for the problem..
Thanks for the info. I'm going to sell it then..
I got 455,000 on my 04 hemi.. never been apart and doesn't even burn oil.
It would upset me if I had to replace a motor at 40,000 or close too
its a great truck too.......... what a waste .. shame on Nissan for not covering out of warranty.

Have cylinders scope and compare 5 and 7 agains others, if they are ok they should remain ok.

 

number 5 does it too ok.. is the problem the direct injection sprays the fuel onto the cylinder wall.... washing away the oil.?
with only 18,000 miles would it already be visible?

 

Mine did the kock at 15,000 km (not miles, kilometers), with a scoping you will most likely see it straight away. You can view the tsb it even has images to compare.

 

Oil injector that improperly seated, but nothing official never came out of nissan, its all stuff we assume fromthe technical service bulletin. Some engines never develop the issue. That direct injection v8 is in use since 2011 I believe, at some point they must of updated something and assembly didn’t get the proper instruction, or someone at the line was rolling out defective engines…

 

great.... i will see what I find.... thanks for all the great info. I will post back picks when I get them..

 

I can't believe you got 400k on a dodge vehicle.

Thats what is messing me up, ha ha ha.

 

Me too!

450,000 miles and still running great. dont get me wrong ... the The trucks has been a piece of junk.
Its just the 5.7 Hemi that has been bullet proof.
that is 150 oil changes at $80 each= $12,000 in oil changes..I could have bought 3 engines..
lol

 

Ok. My dad had a 360 that probably could have went that long but the rest of the truck kept falling apart.

It was the first year they went away from the old square feont ends, 95 or so. The intake, throttle body, and fuel rails said holley on them. I was super impressed when he brought it home and we popped the hood and i saw that.

 

really Holley have to check mine..
but yes.. the truck is not well made.. not like a toyota or Nissan, Honda thats for sure.

 

Even his manual seat quit sliding, ha ha ha. I had to make the piece that connects each side's rail lock out of hanger and put it in place so you could move the seat for and aft.

But that engine and transmission were solid. We could put the backhoe on our trailer and haul it with that truck. It was the 1500 longbed extended cab with the 5.9. It was a towing monster

 

I saw a old round model Dodge pickups today on my way back home. It's fender wells were eaten completely away with rust +6" each wheel well, doors had a least 3, 4" along the bottoms, tailgate ate up. Other than the rust, it was clean, paint looked okay, rims and tires shined up. Old cowboy and his dog cruising down the road 20 mph slower than everyone else. My guess headed into town for the holidays. I thew him a wave as I passed, I got a slow nod and hat tip in return.

 

reminds me of what we used to say back in the day, 'what did you do last night, oh not much just sat on the porch and watched the Dodge rust'

 

Ironically i had an 03 ram that only started to rust once it started sitting. I have an 06 Charger with the 5.7, no rust at all except all the small things going wrong, like i've cracked two radiators now and my alternator bearing lost all of its grease.

 

thats good....... I have replaced alternator 3 times.. power steering pump 3 times.... radiator 3 times.. rack and P 4 times.
rebuild the transmission 3 times..list goes on and on . but not a sign of rust anywhere...
I wouldnt even think about rebuilding the transmission on my Nissan though.. i cant even change the oil..cant get the filler tube needed to change the oil..

 

You have to pump the oil from underneath the transmission to fill and check it. You need a special tool and it aint the same tool and oil for the 7 speed and the 9 speed transmission. Its the most retarded process I have ever seen. I guess its aimed at shops since they have lifts.

 

I got out the scope to check number 7 but I cannot even get to cylinder 7 its behind the wiring harness.

 

that sucks

 

Has any put in a detroit truetrac or a posi in the rear end?
or would it clash with the traction control..
A 4x4 without even a rear posi a waist of a 4x4..
I think the Pro had a locker in the rear though..

 

ok i got the scope down cylinder 5 . what do you guys think? looks like i got some scoring....

18,000 miles

 

On the rear end issue, if you have an electronic locking differential you are good. I put a TruTrac on my open ended 4 x 2. It does work better in more adverse road conditions. However,
it does like to fight in turns under acceleration.

 

you must have the titan pro.. with a stock locking diff..
I dont have the pro. So I have a open diff or peg leg.. A true track is a geared posi that doesn't wear out like a limited slip posi does.
I dont know if they even make one for the new Titans.....It seems there are so few Titans on the road....there are very few custom aftermarket parts.

 

So here is another video of cylinder 5 you can see some scoring as well..

 

check the TSB for how the scoring looks. i cannot see your videos to even guess about them.

there is maybe one place that someone found that made a locker for the second generation trucks. some places sell a gearset and locker that is adapted from a d44 using a spacer but one guy who tried it had the bolts back out and destroy his rear end (i think gears and housing). do a search on here and hopefully it shows up so you can read about what he had found available when he chose the spacer route

I have looked there is nothing for aftermarket rear end parts......
cant even find a ring and pinon. let alone a posi or trutrak.
looks like a factory locker from the pro is the only option,
where i launch my boat at is a super steep hill and need a posi for sure.
these trucks have many issues for many reasons..
even checking the scanner my transmission temps are around 240 degrees F. around town.. it wont last. thats not even towing.

 

Be aware the old rules don't apply to modern transmissions. My 2011 Titan operates within the old paradigm of trans temps, but my wife's 2017 Expedition runs 200-215deg in regular driving. It heats a little more when towing our 6k wakeboat. Newer transmissions are designed to run at higher temps.

 

I didnt know that. that is good news..
but I think one of the problems is the transmission fluid breaks down at high temps....causing slipping..

 

I dont know. I have towed cars on a flatbed from other states, many other states away, and pulled my little travel trailer to a few places here in south texas and never had slipping.

My truck came with the trans temp bar gage on the center console. Its not got numbers on it but it always stays in the same range, even towing up ratton pass going to colorado and back
