titan hd?
Went today to titan forums. Somebody who works at nissan said he was told that HD was not cancelled. It was postponed. For what he figures may be by 2010 or 2011.Also they are positive a navistar @ nissan partnership for diesel engines. They also talk about diesel on their 1/2 ton trucks. All this info. is not suposed to be speculation. U should go and read and come to post your opinion. Titan diesel.

What's so funny about that? If they do get Navistar as an engine supplier they are already ahead of the game because of Navistar's history with building engines for 3/4 ton trucks. ( albeit not a stellar history with the 6.0L )
And possibly with a new manufacturer, Navistar can wipe the slate clean.

Wasn't Ford also responsible for the 6.0l problems due to the fact that they produced the engine managment system and emission controls for the engine? Navistar's image may not be so blemised in the eyes of another manufactorer like Nissan.

I wouldn't be surprised if Navistar/Ford cut ties before the end of their contract...

I think so too. Once they get the warrantee issues out of the way they both will be happy to part ways.

"A little birdy I know from the plant has told me the HD project is not Cancelled however it was postponed slightly, they would not give me any more details than that. From the hinting, I think we are looking at around 2010."
This is nothing more than hearsay. I don't need a "little birdy" to figure that out.
How would anyone really know whether the guy is a Nissan Engineer or not? The wording in his post is suspect. If he's an Nissan Engineer, wouldn't he say at the plant instead of from the plant?

Isn't Ford building their own engines in house? I think Navistar may be more concerned with Ford hooking up with another diesel engine supplier. ( competitor )
If this isn't the questions you had in mind could you please repost?

You guys are confused when it comes to the terms of Ford's contract with Navistar. Ford is the one that must use Navistar's engine for all diesel applications. The contract does not prevent Navistar from supplying engines to anyone else. It only prevents them from using the Powerstroke name or any other jointly developed technology. Navistar can develop and sell Nissan anything they want as long as it does not violate this. Seeing that Navistar already supplies diesels to Nissan in other countries they are a good choise to provide them here as they already have their foot in the door with Nissan. As far as I'm concerned who cares. It will be just like Dodge with Cummins. It will be just wrapping a crap truck around a good engine.

orale! If this truth, Will navistar be exempted fixing diesel engines under warranty. Of course understanding what implies warranty coverage. And also is it navistar on his right sueing ford because planning to built his own baby diesel? Oh don't forget baby diesel to be seen at the market after contract ford/navistar already finish.
