Checked out a Nissan Titan XD
Been waiting to check out one of these trucks since I first read about them. Finally had a chance to check one of them out today. I didn't get to drive it but I got done what I wanted to accomplish ...

But the Aisin 6 speed in the Ram HD has a 12 year 120,000 mile maintenance schedule and 5/100,000 and 5/100,000 power train warranty even my 1500 has the same.
The Aisin in the Ram has a 30k mile interval on changing the transmission fluid.
I went back and looked in the owners manual for the 2015 2500 through 5500 Ram trucks. It reads "Change automatic transmission fluid (AS69RC transmission only). @48,000 mile fluid only and "Change the automatic transmission fluid and sump filter (AS69RC transmission only)." @ 96,000.
The information from my first post was from a post @ the Ram Cummins forum not the owners manual. My bad :o
As for your question Jeremiah "Do you think that Nissan is setting up owners for warranty denial on their new and expensive diesel motor with the fragile cp4? Do you think that's the crux of this issue?"
Not sure about that as hone eagle pointed out a non fuel related CP4 pump failure would be charged back to Bosch for the whole cost or whatever their contract specifies. I do know there is absolutely no reason for 5,000 mile oil and filter changes on a Cummins engine!
The 6.7 Cummins has a oil and filter spec "Change engine oil every 15,000 miles (24 000 km) or six months or 500 Hours or sooner if prompted by the oil change indicator system, whichever comes first.". This is from the 2015 Ram Trucks Diesel Supplement Manual.
From what I have read and can find the CP4.2 Bosch pump is not having any of the same issues that the old CP4 pump was experiencing. I have not read of any CP4.2 pump failures in any of the Eco-diesel Forum's and haven't read anything about Ford's or the GM twins having any failures. If they were you surely would have heard about them here!
So why has Nissan put such tight maintenance schedules on everything? That I can't answer, but they are not going to have very happy customers when they start having to shell out the dough on these things.
BTW, those boxes you like, were the prototype for Ram, but during R&D and testing, Dodge decided that they would be to hard to use and went with the ones we have now. You have to wounder why Ford or GM never built them!
