No need to throw Cummins98 under the bus... He's just another fan boy that doesn't know better.

The one you own now, and I would put the both of you in that category.

And you would be wrong on both accounts young grasshopper... My 1970 Chevelle LS6 454 left a permanent grin that I can't wipe off to this very day. Spanked every Chrysler and Ford product with it.

As for everyone, I know the issues and problems and everyone doesn't like to hear about. It is what it is!

I don't believe what you are trying to sell. That your post citing "Cummins quality" along with a video (which turned out to be a hard cold start because the owner didn't allow the glow plugs to heat up) was with innocent intent. You are known trying to get your jabs in at Cummins any chance you get just as Cummins98 does at getting his jabs in at Fords.

Every engine has issues and every now and then you will get a lemon regardless of the make. Trying to act like one make has all the issues while you favorite doesn't just plain irrational. This is why you don't see me rag on or throw jabs at another engine, because I know that no engine has a perfect track record.

The problems related to this particular case is the engine and Nissan does not produce the engine.

My gut feel is Nissan will eventually drop the XD line for the same reason Toyota flirted with the 5.0 cummins but decided to not pursue.

I don't believe that for one second Fish. Everyone here knows that you will go out of your way to piss on Cummins every chance you get. I really don't know why you hate them so much. It is just irrational.

One Troller here implies that just about every chance he gets...

This is the worst review that I have seen so far on the Titan diesel. I hope that it is an isolated case:

Cummins quality.... Yeah OK! :R

Hello kettle, this is pot. Your black.

Do you really want to go post for post on showing example after example of each other's engine quality?

Pot,

Just in case you missed the thread label: "Trouble with a Titan XD" thread.

Sincerely,
Kettle

Then why did you say "Cummins quality" and not "Titan quality"? Especially when the only thing the video you posted shows is a rough cold start which is an issue with all diesels when you do not give the glow plugs or grid heaters enough time to warm up like the guy in the video states.

Sincerely,
Pot

PS: you're black.

Really... Cummins Quality?
This is a grid heated truck, so it takes a while to start, but no glow plugs to fall in and get munched on by the motor.
Cummins Cold Start -37C
At worst, maybe it's a 5.0 issue. Just like the Ford 6.0 had issues. No need to paint with a broad brush and call all Cummins motors crappy.

Just to be fair, Ford's 6.7 has excellent cold startability as well
Ford -40 Cold start

Again this is a Titan XD thread and the engine is a Cummins. My comments are very specific to this particular cummins engine. And the 5.0 uses ceramic glow plugs.

The problem with many consumers is if they see a cummins badge on the side of the fender they automatically think of the historical cummins reputation. That in itself is a problem.
