Nissan/Cummins 5.0 548rwhp/930rwtq!
Pretty big numbers and shows just how restrictive the "made for emissions" turbo is. It says the stock turbo was at 2:1 drive pressure which is good for emissions, but bad for the engines longevity. ...

I’ve had Ford and Dodge lemons or almost lemons too. Nissan generally builds quality vehicles. On the flip side, a buddy had an older Titan. And he does basically zero preventative maintenance. Tires get rotated when they wear out, oil gets changed when the oil light comes on type of thing. He beat the snot out of a titan for about 100k miles and had a coolant leak, first real issue, and traded it on a new truck Dodge diesel.
We’ve since worked on his ways and got him at least doing basic maintenance on time.
He!!, he smashed the tower on his boat one year, brought it out next year still broke. We square lashed it with half of his old ski rope, used it for a week and next year it was still like that but the rope broke when I ripped a backroll off of it because it sat in the sun for a year! Same dude had a leak in a ballast drain we rigged with a hose clamp and a baby toy. He never removed it. It became a permanent fix!
Way off topic but he got good use out of a Titan considering.
