I have a ‘17 XD Cummins and it’s actually a wonderful truck. I’ve had it for 2 years and have put just under 50,000 miles on it in that time. I plow snow with it, I pull a skid steer, boat, 4 wheelers, snowmobiles… I load the bed to max capacity and more quite often and I’ve never had anything more than a sensor failure. It handles like an older truck because it is slightly heavier than any other half ton. It has a nice solid feeling on the road. I get great fuel economy out of mine. Nothing less than 18mpg. But usually 20+mpg on longer trips. My best was 23.6mpg on a trip back home to Wisconsin from Tennessee. I’ve done nothing to the truck other than put fuel in it, service it and drive it. I recommend it to anyone looking for a diesel truck that doesn’t need to haul 20,000lbs every day.
Nissan should've stuck it out and made the improvements needed to compete. Should've actually released the Warrior trim. Should've made a dually that could hang with the big three for a tad cheaper. The Titan was a great truck especially at the discounted prices. Sad to see them give up on it.
Owned many diesels, my titan XD has been the best. Pushing 300k with no issues, even bought another one :) Did do the deletes early and that helped I'm sure
I have a 2017 Texas Titan XD 34K on it. So far no issues. I change oil and all the filters at 5K miles even though Nissan says to change them later. I use amsoil and hotshot products along with OEM fuel filters. I hear a bunch of horror stories on you tube relating to the motor itself and I have to admit it makes me a bit nervous. But a lot of those stories seem to come from people who have altered the motor in one way or another be it full deletes, partial deletes or different tunings. Plan on leaving the motor itself bone stock and hopefully avoid some of these issues. Aside from all that, I love the truck. It came with a lot more features for less money than some of its competitors and always gets a positive comment from folks on the street.
I have a 17XD, cooler and EGR went bad at 35K. Did a full diet and it just runs so much better. Now have 51,000K without any problems. I highly recommend doing oil analysis at every oil change and keep a watch for metal ware. I have 4 done from the last 4 oil changes at every 10K miles.
They severely dropped the ball with marketing. I was shopping trucks for a future camper purchase and happened to be getting a key programmed for my daughter’s Juke at the dealership. Started looking at brochures on the Titan and had never even heard of an XD. All that led to an ‘19 XD SV gasser purchase and I couldn’t be happier. Only real issue I have is the gas tank size. Can’t say I’ve ever seen a Titan commercial EVER! But if I say “that Space Shuttle commercial” you know exactly what truck I’m talking about.
What kept me from buying a Titan diesel? The terrible reviews and problems with the engine. Exhaust gas pumped into the cab through the hvac system for one. There’s too many issues to list
Love my Titan XD diesel. Bought new in 2016 and I did have the actuator, low pressure turbo and egr cooler replaced under warranty 3 years ago. Been excellent since. Great truck.
I bought a 2019 new. Done all maintenance as needed. 98450 miles all good so far. I tow 9000 lbs. 5th wheel. I use shell rotela t 6 and nissan oil filter. Every 6000 miles. Also change fuel filters regularly. Any thoughts?
Love my 16 Titan XD! Although I did have the motor replaced about 7000 miles ago because of a broken crank I still wouldn't trade it for anything else.
@jamesroberson3730 yeah that sounds like the same problem I had. It was almost 3 quarts low when the knocking started. Nissan took care of me too thankfully.
Cft has a great video explaining chaffed injector harnesses on thesee trucks. It causes shorts, which cause misfires, cylinder flooding and hydrolocking of the motor. Every broken crankshaft that they've had has had bad injector harnesses also. Tight zip ties and rubbing. If you know what to look for it's an easy preventive maintenance
I have a 2018 diesel and the only thing that went down was the EGR cooler ..! Thankfully the dealership covered the replacement. Ever since the truck runs great..!
Have a 17 Xd SV Cummins. Love this truck it just passed 60k mileage. Regular 5k valvoline extreme blue or shell rotella oil changes at 5k as well as filter changes and def filter changes are the secret to any diesel longevity. No mods outside of a bilstein 5100 suspension upgrade as well as a rough country leveling kit and a helwig sway bar upgrade. Bought it used w 19k mileage. Also use fuel lubricants like Lucas pretty regularly when I fill up. My theory is don’t tune the engine or modify it they don’t pay engineers what they do to have guys mod them and void the warranty. It’s a great truck Nissan didn’t market it at all which is a damn shame
Had a 2017 Titan XD SL bought it brand new for $46k ....$30k cheaper than the cheapest competition at that time . @15k miles egr was leaking and steering stops squeaking from running the frame. At 20k miles dpf filter replaced. The truck surged badly the entire time i had it while towing. I kept telling them it was surfing like it was losing boost and asked if they could check the waste gate. Only response i would get is "this truck doesn't have a waste gate". Traded it in for a 2018 Titan xd sl midnight addition ($46k) @18k miles egr leaking. 22k miles dpf replaced. 27k miles def system replaced. 32k miles truck was surging like previous truck. Rctv valve(electronic waste gate) was replaced. At 34k miles injector failed and destroyed the motor. Got it replaced. At 36k miles headlight stopped working. No warranty because tab on back of headlight was broken. Imagine that, they had the entire cab off replacing motor but broken tax on headlight was somehow my responsibility. At 39k miles towed to dealership. Was told a couple sensors not under warranty were replaced at my cost after having my truck for many months. After arguing i paid. Picked up truck and it was still doing the same thing. Took it to another dealership and they had it a week and fixed under warranty. Corrosion in def harness to ECU. Wire harness harness replaced. Transfer case replaced,4wd error warning unfixed for over a year , radio replaced, def pump replaced again at my cost. Truck has 78k miles and i just purchased an extended warranty because i can't imagine what needs replaced next. Love the truck but Fck Nissan. NEVER again will i buy a Nissan.
Are the known problems with the Cummins 5.0 simply an issue of poor maintenance or is this a design flaw also. If you change the oil every 5k does that simply avoid the problems? Or is more substantial and diligent ownership needed. I've loved the idea of the XD diesel, but wary of a purchase because of the bad press of the 5.0.
It’s a design flaw, but not from Nissan or Cummins. It’s a design flaw of the EPA. The only issues these trucks have is largely related to their having to add useless garbage just to meet EPA emissions guidelines.
Traded my 2017 titan xd for a 2020 ram 6.7. Loved my Titan xd and had it upgraded. Was an amazing truck but lacked in many area’s. Cost of ownership compared to performance and value was a hitter. Fuel mileage was sub par but other than that fantastic truck. 108,000km on it without a issue
Number 1 was the price tag. For the price, I could go elsewhere and get a 3/4 ton truck. Number 2 was reliability. Way too many issues with the emissions stuff.
I've been tuning for my '19 XD. You make a really good point. Nissan and Cummins both didn't do a very good job of making sure people understood what they were getting into. I think the ISV is a fantastic engine, a truely modern engine. Nissan made some silly design mistakes, and seemed to get cold feet in terms of actually marketing the Titan XD. I love tuning for it, it really is an amazing engine.
I have a 17XD SL with 101400 miles on it. I've had the turbo actuator replaced recently under the extended warranty. Wish this truck had a larger fuel tank on it, since mileage is so crappy, and parts are getting hard to find
Complete wiring harness end to end at 60k miles, egr failed, 2 def sensor failures, ball joints …. Half the new value of the truck has been spent on warranty and my own repairs. 2016 SV.
My titan is 7 years old and have 91,000 Km’s (56545 miles) kept regular maintenance and oil change not an issue with the vehicle at this point. Even got a letter in the event the turbo malfunctions has extended warranty.
My parents bought a 09 Titan and I was going to tech school worked on a lot of trucks and was super surprised how reliable the truck was. When heard Nissan was going to make a Titan with a Cummins and the Alison transmission thought was going to be the most bulletproof vehicle you can buy. To bad they had so many problems with those engines
My nissan xd has 198thousand miles still going, but had a pricey repair of the fuel injection pump 3800 bucks repair thinking of getting rid of 8t before something else breaks
Had one, dumped it at 104k and got a 6.2 f250. Truck and transmission was flawless. Motor was garbage. 4 EGR coolers and both turbos replaced. I even asked if the egt probe should be replaced if it was running hotter than it should of been and not alerting me, they said no
My 2018 is a worthless pig. Doesnt have the torch to pull it off a tire rack. At 130,000 miles the check engine light kept coming on couldnt keep the fuel milage up loss power. I thought the turbo was goin out but had it checked and the turbo egr valve was carboned up bad. I ask when i bought it what maintenance i need to do to the engine and they said nothing. Everytime i took it for a oil change nope dont do nothing to the engine. Well turns out i should have had it flushed and diesel treatment goin thru it. All carboned up finally have it flushed and fuel milage is back to 19/18 mpg still no pulling power or heavy torc
Hello great show, you stated calibrated for turbo actuator, does it need to be reprogrammed to ecu? my Diesel mechanic just replaced it stated he calibrated it but needs to be reprogrammed to ecu? So, I had to take it over to Nissan which in my eyes was counter productive since the part and install for the actuator is covered for 10 yr 150k miles for the titan 5.0 cummin's. Currently at 138k miles and first major issue.
For the cost of that engine and its development, none of the parts you mentioned should ever go bad. Really too bad on this engine, it shure could have been a game changer.
I’m having a lot of issues with the DEF, EGR, and DPF… having the p226C error code thrown at me very regularly at 66k miles. Waiting to see if warranties will cover these issues, if not it’s off to a buddy’s shop to get deleted. Going to get it deleted soon for caping season regardless… love the truck - hate the hiccups thus far
Diagnosed EGR valves I replaced both but it was air filter it through EGR valve turbo sensors pressure sensor ..etc whole time air filter but the trucks are excellent just have to get passed fuel issues and EGR valves
97k miles I ran into a bunch of random issues. ~Injector #2 O-ring had “disappeared,” causing a loud knocking sound, I just cleaned the injector and put new o-rings on it. Cost me $16 to fix myself. (Dealership wanted $1500 to replace whole injector) ~fuel lift pump started leaking. Found out an o-ring on top where he T is was bad. Had an o-ring kit laying around, so cost me $0 to fix. (Dealership wanted $1700 to replace the whole assembly) ~front engine cover started leaking. I tightened all the front bolts. Fixed the issue. ~door handle seals were bad, allowing water in and when it froze, it broke the assembly. I hear this is a common issue with Altima’s. Covered under warranty. ~Turbo actuator-how do these actually fail? I can turn my truck off, wait 3min, turn my truck back on and reset my check engine light. The turbo actuator acts normal. It typically also pops the check engine light then acts up only when it’s hot, and I’m in stop and go traffic. Winter is coming, it won’t come on during the winter time. Only summer. So why? You can’t just say it’s broken. There’s something internal going wrong with it that I bet someone could easily repair.
I need to add in, 105k was he last issue I had. I’m at 140k right now and I haven’t had a single issue since 105k miles. Before 97k miles I never had any issues. I absolutely LOVE the truck. I’d buy another. Only thing is, is you want this truck, I’d recommend having some sort of mechanical knowledge. The truck is so so easy to work on. Easier to work on then the ol 5.9 Cummins.
17 titan xd 101400 miles on it. At 61k replaced turbo and fuel water separator housing. Then at 71k replaced egr valve, cooler and turbo again. 80k fuel water separator housing again cracked. 88k engine wiring harness. Currently seeing a small power steering leack and break master cylinder leak lol. These trucks are under powered. I think they could of went with a bigger turbo and more fueling to get at least 425hp and 750 tq range.
I own a 2016 Titan Xd Platinum Reserve. This truck is very underrated and has a ton of potential. My biggest complaint is that everything is so expensive to fix obviously being a diesel and not having aftermarket support and having to go back stock. They made these trucks in my opinion to quickly without enough research, especially with the tranny. The truck shifts rough. If this truck had an Allison transmission linked with the 5.0 this truck would be an ultimate package. I have a sour taste in my mouth because Nissan will not recall things that are breaking on everyone’s truck. They just throw there hands up and say it’s on you. If you own this truck, get a warranty and extend it out as long as you possibly can. I have 116k and I’m replacing my entire turbo system which is costing me 8k with parts and labor.
I have a 2018 Mines deleted and tuned n I got rid of the factory rear fuel pump and put a fass pump. Seems to do ok just hate the transmission. Gonna change fluid and see what happens or maybe get ahold of ez lynk and see what they can do. With a deleted truck do I still have to fear the egr stuff getting clogged? Or is my main thing to stress now just a turbo going out? Thanks
My first time with a diesel. Bought the diesel because my Dad's chevy with a diesel lasted 400k miles! I thought this was a smart financial decision but then I learned about all the environmental junk. I ended up buying a used 2016 and my EGR went out around 80k miles but I was out of warranty. It ended up becoming a 'farm truck' - and I love it. But I am in constant fear of the broken crankshafts. I am surprised you guys didnt mention that when it seems like that is one of the big ones on the forums. I love this truck though. It tows my 34 foot camper like a boss. Wish the mirrors automatically folded.. but thats it.
They aren’t meant to rev very high. I think the broken camshaft are from modifying and change engine computer. And reviving too high. They aren’t as balanced as the the in-line 6.
I just bought one a few months ago and I love it. Ya I had a few issues to work out being used and all but it’s been a fantastic truck overall. For a diesel it’s your best bang for your buck that’s for sure. As long as you maintain it you shouldn’t have any problems which goes for anything. I’m going to be starting a RUclips channel dedicated strictly to the Nissan Titan XD 5.0 Cummins which will answer any questions or concerns anyone has along with following along my journey of owning one of these amazing beasts. IMO Nissan did a bad job of marketing them which led to the downfall of a potentially excellent diesel pickup. It’s Sad to say the least.
@@asaawalker 10,000 miles already on it and it’s been a fantastic truck no problems at all. Just did a cold intake upgrade and man that made a huge difference. Love the truck and plan on keeping it for years to come.
I like mine. It tows way better than my first gen. Super powerful the top end is crazy with turbo you can accelerate for passing up to 100 scary easily. Platinum reserve seats are comfortable it has dvd in head rests. Heater cooled seat. only 50k platinum ford are 80k. I always wanted a gtr but honestly this is more practical.
I’m looking to trade my first gen titan in for a diesel and get into the diesel truck experience. I have no real reason to own a diesel truck (I don’t tow or haul anything) but I want the extra power and turbo noises lol and these sound fantastic. So far I hear very mixed reviews on the Cummins engine but I’m thinking I should just take a leap of faith and try to find a titan with a good service history and even possibly already had some of the typical failure parts replaced. Id like to delete it and for any newer diesel truck deleting it seems to prevent common failure issues with turbos/egr/emissions stuff.
If I can give you some advice, unless you have deep pockets run away. I have one and I just spent 8k for the entire turbo system to be replaced. High pressure and low pressure turbo as well as the actuator.
I'm naive, with proper testing and I do mean proper testing of the engine before it is released onto the public there should not be the issues that they have. Never trust your suppliers! Everybody cuts corners to squeeze a little more profit every given moment and Nissan should have kept a close eye on the early intro of these units especially to a public not used to diesels.
I have a 2016 titan pr, the truck was amazing for the first 50k the past 16k has been rough. I’ve had to replace the egr cooler, turbo actuator, LP turbo and the coolant reservoir. I change the oil and fuel filters every 6k. Overall I love the truck but the recent repair bills is starting to leave a bad taste in my mouth.
I owned a 2018 Midnight, at 125,000 it dropped a bearing. 32k later after a new engine install, new actuators, 2 separate dealerships working on it, it never made it 3 miles without throwing every code, even ABS, straight to limp mode. Nissan fired all of its diesel techs, rare to find a dealership that still has one. Nissan does not want to see these trucks roll in. No shops want to work on them, because its a bastard. Nissan electronics on a Cummins. But I bought the truck at 90k. Never an issue till the bearing dropped out of nowhere. I loved the truck overall, but once the problems start, runnnnnnn. Only thing I did was have a Fass lift pump installed. The factory plastic junk will crack and leak eventually. With that said, I’ll never go back to a diesel to haul my rock crawler around, I went big gasser!
My 2019 Titan XD Cummins, in under 2 years, has been towed twice from the engine not starting. Has been sent to Nissan tech's 3 other times for limp mode codes/ reduced engine power. Piece of Junk. 45k miles and under warranty (thank God).
Had one since 2016! Have had EVERY problem mentioned… limp mode problem - regine problem- now transmission problem- input speed sensor problems! Cummins engine is great after delete. The rest of truck is Junk ! Buy a 250 !!
I have a 2017 that at 6000 miles the low-pressure turbo assembly went out. replaced under warranty. then at 22000 the high-pressure turbo is now out. dealer wants $6080 to replace. Anyone want to buy a truck??
Capabilities, Needed something heavier than what Nissan could provide. Ended up with a super duty diesel. Now probably going to a mid height roof van. And will probably go with a transit due to Nissan not offering one in all wheel drive.
Low mileage? Get rid of it quickly. Still a good value. Get your money back and buy a f-150 instead. I have a titan Cummings a well and I recently had an emissions problem and would cost me a fortune to fix it without knowing for a possible further problems so I deleted the whole thing. It runs great now but !!!!!!!
They would have been more successful if they would have used an inline 6 turbo instead. V diesels are very difficult to make reliable. You don't see any over the road semi's running V blocks.
Reliability and not impressive payload. It was not a reliable truck with all the emissions and the fancy turbo. I bought one but left me stranded. Gasser XD is much more reliable. In general, XD should have went with a smaller diesel engine (same tow capacities but much better fuel economy) OR it should have made higher payload capacity in 5.0l engine. 1500 lbs on Platinum and 1700 on Pro4x dont inspire confidence. People are putting 2500lbs on these trucks and they are doing fine. They should have rated it higher or gone full HD.
7:04-7:40 mustache beta has absolutely no idea what hes talking about. A 2022 ford? Ford what? Half ton. 3/4, 1 ton? What weighs 12,000 pounds?..... betas
Nissan is just too wrong killing this truck, I think if Nissan brought own diesel engine with truck it would be better, as 5.0 ISV is not that reliable.
You're right in other countries.Nissan makes an incredible diesel.Don't know why they can't bring an endto the state.S that's the reason why toyota was gonna take that engine at 50 before nissan did and they backed out for some reason they locked out

I thought the turbo was goin out but had it checked and the turbo egr valve was carboned up bad. I ask when i bought it what maintenance i need to do to the engine and they said nothing. Everytime i took it for a oil change nope dont do nothing to the engine. Well turns out i should have had it flushed and diesel treatment goin thru it. All carboned up finally have it flushed and fuel milage is back to 19/18 mpg still no pulling power or heavy torc
Tune and delete it. Mine is an animal and I’ve pulled over 14k with it
Hello great show, you stated calibrated for turbo actuator, does it need to be reprogrammed to ecu? my Diesel mechanic just replaced it stated he calibrated it but needs to be reprogrammed to ecu? So, I had to take it over to Nissan which in my eyes was counter productive since the part and install for the actuator is covered for 10 yr 150k miles for the titan 5.0 cummin's. Currently at 138k miles and first major issue.
For the cost of that engine and its development, none of the parts you mentioned should ever go bad. Really too bad on this engine, it shure could have been a game changer.
I’m having a lot of issues with the DEF, EGR, and DPF… having the p226C error code thrown at me very regularly at 66k miles.
Waiting to see if warranties will cover these issues, if not it’s off to a buddy’s shop to get deleted. Going to get it deleted soon for caping season regardless… love the truck - hate the hiccups thus far
These are the greatest trucks ever if you have the patience to work through the issues.
Yea mine blew up at 60k junk
@CLUBCARLIFTED666 what year was yours?
What issues did you have to work through? Thank you
They are absolutely dog shit. I have a 2016 and it’s in the shop more than on the road.
@@estimatingonediscoveringthreeyeah curious to hear also.
140 k miles on mine. I love it. Deleted and Tuned.
Diagnosed EGR valves I replaced both but it was air filter it through EGR valve turbo sensors pressure sensor ..etc whole time air filter but the trucks are excellent just have to get passed fuel issues and EGR valves
Same as mine carbon up bad
97k miles I ran into a bunch of random issues.
~Injector #2 O-ring had “disappeared,” causing a loud knocking sound, I just cleaned the injector and put new o-rings on it. Cost me $16 to fix myself. (Dealership wanted $1500 to replace whole injector)
~fuel lift pump started leaking. Found out an o-ring on top where he T is was bad. Had an o-ring kit laying around, so cost me $0 to fix. (Dealership wanted $1700 to replace the whole assembly)
~front engine cover started leaking. I tightened all the front bolts. Fixed the issue.
~door handle seals were bad, allowing water in and when it froze, it broke the assembly. I hear this is a common issue with Altima’s. Covered under warranty.
~Turbo actuator-how do these actually fail? I can turn my truck off, wait 3min, turn my truck back on and reset my check engine light. The turbo actuator acts normal. It typically also pops the check engine light then acts up only when it’s hot, and I’m in stop and go traffic. Winter is coming, it won’t come on during the winter time. Only summer. So why? You can’t just say it’s broken. There’s something internal going wrong with it that I bet someone could easily repair.
I need to add in, 105k was he last issue I had. I’m at 140k right now and I haven’t had a single issue since 105k miles. Before 97k miles I never had any issues.
I absolutely LOVE the truck. I’d buy another. Only thing is, is you want this truck, I’d recommend having some sort of mechanical knowledge. The truck is so so easy to work on. Easier to work on then the ol 5.9 Cummins.
17 titan xd 101400 miles on it. At 61k replaced turbo and fuel water separator housing. Then at 71k replaced egr valve, cooler and turbo again. 80k fuel water separator housing again cracked. 88k engine wiring harness.
Currently seeing a small power steering leack and break master cylinder leak lol.
These trucks are under powered. I think they could of went with a bigger turbo and more fueling to get at least 425hp and 750 tq range.
I have an 2018XD put it on a full diet at 80k miles…truck runs so much better once on a diet
I own a 2016 Titan Xd Platinum Reserve. This truck is very underrated and has a ton of potential. My biggest complaint is that everything is so expensive to fix obviously being a diesel and not having aftermarket support and having to go back stock. They made these trucks in my opinion to quickly without enough research, especially with the tranny. The truck shifts rough. If this truck had an Allison transmission linked with the 5.0 this truck would be an ultimate package. I have a sour taste in my mouth because Nissan will not recall things that are breaking on everyone’s truck. They just throw there hands up and say it’s on you. If you own this truck, get a warranty and extend it out as long as you possibly can. I have 116k and I’m replacing my entire turbo system which is costing me 8k with parts and labor.
I've replaced countless egr coolers for internal leaks, not a fan of those trucks.
I have a 2018 Mines deleted and tuned n I got rid of the factory rear fuel pump and put a fass pump. Seems to do ok just hate the transmission. Gonna change fluid and see what happens or maybe get ahold of ez lynk and see what they can do. With a deleted truck do I still have to fear the egr stuff getting clogged? Or is my main thing to stress now just a turbo going out? Thanks
What's wrong with your transmission?
Swap the axels with the NV 3500 and you have a true 3/4 ton truck! I have a 16 xd and love it, best truck by far for the extended highway trip.
Ive had one for a while and haven't had these problems.
Egr valves you replace one replace both
My first time with a diesel. Bought the diesel because my Dad's chevy with a diesel lasted 400k miles! I thought this was a smart financial decision but then I learned about all the environmental junk. I ended up buying a used 2016 and my EGR went out around 80k miles but I was out of warranty. It ended up becoming a 'farm truck' - and I love it. But I am in constant fear of the broken crankshafts. I am surprised you guys didnt mention that when it seems like that is one of the big ones on the forums. I love this truck though. It tows my 34 foot camper like a boss. Wish the mirrors automatically folded.. but thats it.
They aren’t meant to rev very high. I think the broken camshaft are from modifying and change engine computer. And reviving too high. They aren’t as balanced as the the in-line 6.
@@radfordmunz9577 I have read its a wiring harness causing the cp4 to fail and floods the engine resulting in a broken crank.
I just bought one a few months ago and I love it. Ya I had a few issues to work out being used and all but it’s been a fantastic truck overall. For a diesel it’s your best bang for your buck that’s for sure. As long as you maintain it you shouldn’t have any problems which goes for anything. I’m going to be starting a RUclips channel dedicated strictly to the Nissan Titan XD 5.0 Cummins which will answer any questions or concerns anyone has along with following along my journey of owning one of these amazing beasts. IMO Nissan did a bad job of marketing them which led to the downfall of a potentially excellent diesel pickup. It’s Sad to say the least.
Boy you’re in for a treat
1st gen series truck that the manufacturer bailed on
Good luck
U have link for ur channel? I have a 17 xd Cummins
@@asaawalker 10,000 miles already on it and it’s been a fantastic truck no problems at all. Just did a cold intake upgrade and man that made a huge difference. Love the truck and plan on keeping it for years to come.
I have a 19 XD Diesel, y’all making me nervous. I have 64k miles not one issue. I’ve been Titan Loyal since 2004.
I get a titan 17 XD. I love it and also 2012 gas both my truck are excellent, I think the rear end should made stronger on the gas one 555 777
Currently trying to figure out how I’m gonna pay $5,700 to replace the low pressure turbo in by Titan XD haven’t even had it a month😢
That's not good, sorry to hear that. Is there maybe a salvage nearby with a XD?
Nissan had extended the warranty on turbos and actuators.
Thoughts on putting a turbo on a Z24?
ruclips.net/p/PLIO0C0Xt02Micr5mKQ8nBpG05r8LQBLKC
I like mine. It tows way better than my first gen. Super powerful the top end is crazy with turbo you can accelerate for passing up to 100 scary easily. Platinum reserve seats are comfortable it has dvd in head rests. Heater cooled seat. only 50k platinum ford are 80k. I always wanted a gtr but honestly this is more practical.
Right on
I’m looking to trade my first gen titan in for a diesel and get into the diesel truck experience. I have no real reason to own a diesel truck (I don’t tow or haul anything) but I want the extra power and turbo noises lol and these sound fantastic. So far I hear very mixed reviews on the Cummins engine but I’m thinking I should just take a leap of faith and try to find a titan with a good service history and even possibly already had some of the typical failure parts replaced. Id like to delete it and for any newer diesel truck deleting it seems to prevent common failure issues with turbos/egr/emissions stuff.
If I can give you some advice, unless you have deep pockets run away. I have one and I just spent 8k for the entire turbo system to be replaced. High pressure and low pressure turbo as well as the actuator.
For a while, I wanted a Jdm d21 with the 2.7 TD! Ended up going with a 1kz hilux instead tho.
I'm naive, with proper testing and I do mean proper testing of the engine before it is released onto the public there should not be the issues that they have. Never trust your suppliers! Everybody cuts corners to squeeze a little more profit every given moment and Nissan should have kept a close eye on the early intro of these units especially to a public not used to diesels.
I have a 2016 titan pr, the truck was amazing for the first 50k the past 16k has been rough. I’ve had to replace the egr cooler, turbo actuator, LP turbo and the coolant reservoir. I change the oil and fuel filters every 6k. Overall I love the truck but the recent repair bills is starting to leave a bad taste in my mouth.
How much the turbo actuator replacement cost?
@@vicenteortiz7244 it was covered under warrantee. Nissan has extended the warrantee on the actuator and the high pressure turbo.
2016 XD w/ 66k shop wants to replace my EGR Cooler, low pressure turbo and more… only had it about a month so far 😢
I owned a 2018 Midnight, at 125,000 it dropped a bearing. 32k later after a new engine install, new actuators, 2 separate dealerships working on it, it never made it 3 miles without throwing every code, even ABS, straight to limp mode. Nissan fired all of its diesel techs, rare to find a dealership that still has one. Nissan does not want to see these trucks roll in. No shops want to work on them, because its a bastard. Nissan electronics on a Cummins. But I bought the truck at 90k. Never an issue till the bearing dropped out of nowhere. I loved the truck overall, but once the problems start, runnnnnnn. Only thing I did was have a Fass lift pump installed. The factory plastic junk will crack and leak eventually. With that said, I’ll never go back to a diesel to haul my rock crawler around, I went big gasser!
My 2019 Titan XD Cummins, in under 2 years, has been towed twice from the engine not starting. Has been sent to Nissan tech's 3 other times for limp mode codes/ reduced engine power. Piece of Junk. 45k miles and under warranty (thank God).
yo both you guys are rockin' some badass shirts
Working hard to be fashion forward.
Had one since 2016! Have had EVERY problem mentioned… limp mode problem - regine problem- now transmission problem- input speed sensor problems!
Cummins engine is great after delete.
The rest of truck is Junk ! Buy a 250 !!
I have a 2017 that at 6000 miles the low-pressure turbo assembly went out. replaced under warranty. then at 22000 the high-pressure turbo is now out. dealer wants $6080 to replace. Anyone want to buy a truck??
Rocking the new flag! Awesome 👍🏽
Yessssa
You can’t flush the transmission
Capabilities,
Needed something heavier than what Nissan could provide.
Ended up with a super duty diesel.
Now probably going to a mid height roof van. And will probably go with a transit due to Nissan not offering one in all wheel drive.
Big mistake going with a 5.0 Cummings . Should have done the 6.7 or a nissan diesel engine
that shirt tho russ goooodddd damn thats fire and the flag too mach. and tom with the og datsun so much drip bois love to see it.
🔥
Seems most is emissions related.
Low mileage? Get rid of it quickly. Still a good value. Get your money back and buy a f-150 instead.
I have a titan Cummings a well and I recently had an emissions problem and would cost me a fortune to fix it without knowing for a possible further problems so I deleted the whole thing. It runs great now but !!!!!!!
They would have been more successful if they would have used an inline 6 turbo instead. V diesels are very difficult to make reliable. You don't see any over the road semi's running V blocks.
I just bought a 2018 Armada. Yes it's gas, but it's a great truck. I should have bought one sooner
The Y62 Armada's are awesome and yes they do love guzzling gas.
Hardbody God's truck since 1986! 😇
🙌
Nice mustash and nail color 😂
Cp4 pump is the biggest issue
Reliability and not impressive payload.
It was not a reliable truck with all the emissions and the fancy turbo. I bought one but left me stranded. Gasser XD is much more reliable.
In general, XD should have went with a smaller diesel engine (same tow capacities but much better fuel economy) OR it should have made higher payload capacity in 5.0l engine. 1500 lbs on Platinum and 1700 on Pro4x dont inspire confidence. People are putting 2500lbs on these trucks and they are doing fine. They should have rated it higher or gone full HD.
7:04-7:40 mustache beta has absolutely no idea what hes talking about. A 2022 ford? Ford what? Half ton. 3/4, 1 ton? What weighs 12,000 pounds?..... betas
I dont know why nissan use that crappy cummins when they make good and reliable diesel engines 🤷♂️🤷♂️
If I could've afford it i wouldve got it
Garbage motor can’t go 50,000 miles without blowing up
Nissan is just too wrong killing this truck, I think if Nissan brought own diesel engine with truck it would be better, as 5.0 ISV is not that reliable.
You're right in other countries.Nissan makes an incredible diesel.Don't know why they can't bring an endto the state.S that's the reason why toyota was gonna take that engine at 50 before nissan did and they backed out for some reason they locked out
wtf is with the ring in the nose?
