Attention: TDR Forum Junkies [RAW]

It has been 24 hours since this press release hit the streets, and I guess we are surprised that there hasn't been more discussion about this new engine. We've made a few assumptions. <br/><br/>First, you are well informed and have known about a Cummins V8 since it was a concept back in the early 2000's. Although that was not the same V8 that will be used by Nissan, we have all followed the V8 engine through the recession days of Daimler Chrysler. As noted above, it is ironic that the Ram 1500 3L Eco Diesel was (initially) developed for General Motors/Cadillac, and now this Nissan 5.0L diesel was developed for Chrysler/Ram (initially). Turn about is fair play ... .<br/><br/>Second, with the explosion of social media, digital entertainment (parading as news), and the ability of everyone with a digital toy to parade as an expert on every subject, you might wonder what's really to say anyway.<br/><br/>The thing is, much of the editorializing by those with keyboards has been done by people who never have, nor ever will, own a diesel pickup. Enough said.<br/><br/>We are interested in your thoughts and insights as informed diesel owners. We'd even like to publish these insights in the magazine for those other TDR Members who are not as digitally savvy or experienced as you. So post your best thoughts - the good, the bad, and the ugly - here.<br/><br/>https://www.turbodieselregister.com/forums/showthread.php?243893-15-Nissan-Titan-pickup-will-get-new-Cummins-diesel-engine<br/><br/>Robert Patton<br/>Editor, TDR <br/><br/>[/RAW]
