I have a 2018 xd diesel with 50 k miles on it with no issues and pull 9k worth of travel all over the Rockies and Colorado where I live no problem
What kind of fuel mileage are getting pulling that kind of weight? I have a travel trailer that weighs 7500 and I’m trying to decide if I should go with the Titan or go with one of the other 1/2 ton diesels. I have a 1ton gasser and it hates pulling it.
@@jasonpruett360 around 12 mpg , but I live at 8300 feet in Colorado and every where I go it’s a haul , I pull mine over the “Ike gauntlet” all the time and it’s probably over 8000 lbs the way I haul it
Very cool. I live in ID and we have a 30’ TT 7600 lb gross and we’re looking to upgrade from our F-150. 3/4 tons are way too expensive so this XD seems perfect.
How’s your Nissan Titan running?
Don’t know ,I needed more more power so I’ve had a f250 for last two years
I have a 2016 Titan with the 5.0 diesel motor and it has over 200,000 miles. My Nissan has a tune and delete and I don't have those issues with heat, def fluid and regen.
Thank you for all the tips! I’ve ordered everything you mentioned immediately. Can’t wait to play with the OBD2 reader.
You are welcome and thanks for watching my channel.
Just purchased a 2016 pro 4x. It also came tuned/deleted and is an awesome truck!
2 days ago my 18 XD DIESEL warning reduced power light came on went to dealership in south haven ms landers they told me it was the transmission without checking it🗣 I TH-camd it an he said it was resavore so I purchased from dealership installed my self check engine light an warning light went off I did plug it up with FIXD it said coolant issue but YOU GUYS WHO POST DO IT YOUR SRLF VIDEOS ARE THE BEST
I love my 2018 Platinum Reserve 4x4 and will be doing a few of these things that I had no idea about, Thanks for this video.
I have a 2017 on day one I put that stuff in. I also find it gems a lot less you’re 100% correct the new fuel is terrible it needs all the help It can get.
Thanks for the informative video! I have a 2017 XD with the diesel and love it! Pulls our camper great and so much power. I will check out the scanner as well...thanks.
Glad to help Matt. Check out my latest fuel filter change video and thanks for watching my channel.
*thanks for the video keep em coming i have a 2019 black midnight SL 4X4*
Very helpful thank you. I have a 2017 Platinum Reserve and am very happy with it. 👊🏼
Great to hear! Thanks for watching my channel Justice.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge I’m new to diesels just purchased a 2018 Titan and plan to follow your advice
You are welcome. Thanks for watching my channel.
Your video was very useful when i had my Cummins XD. I drive mostly in the suburbs/city and only occasionally tow. I loved the Titan XD with diesel but after having emissions issue (fixed under warranty) i learned that my style of driving and modern diesels do not like each other. My nissan tech said that those who really work this truck, tow every day, carry loads never have problems, while people like me are having issues. Well…. I loved the XD so much that i got a gas version! Now i have only one vehicle for everyday and for camping trips.
That's great! Thanks for the update.
Awesome help. I have a 2016 XD with 38,000 miles and I love my truck.
Wow. That's some low miles. You need to enjoy it a little more! They are great trucks! Thanks for watching.
Good thorough video with some great tips. Being around diesel motors since I could walk I can honestly say if you treat it right and take care of it anything will last. Diesel engines are very temperamental and are not for the everyday person. One thing I like to do when letting the turbo cool down is if I know I am getting close to my destination I’ll take it slow that way I don’t have to wait as long for it to cool down. Maybe like 30 seconds to a minute instead of 2-3 minutes. I owned a 6.4 for years and never had any issues. I absolutely loved it. All about how you drive it and take care of it. I haven’t personally owned a Titan diesel yet but I have been looking at them because they are cheap and I do like how they handle the few I have test drove anyway. Thanks again for the video.
You are welcome Jason. Thanks for watching.
That's excellent advice. Thank you.
You are welcome and thanks for watching my channel.
Thanks for this great video… I’m subscribing
Thanks Roger! Really appreciate you subscribing.
Thanks. Good, practical stuff. '16 Diesel.
You are welcome. Thanks for watching my channel.
This is a great video have a 2016 pro 4x with 89k and still love it
Thanks!
Very informative video!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching my video.
I'm looking at purchasing a 17 XD diesel. Thanks for the tips and review of the truck. Makes me feel more at ease about possibly buying one.
Did you buy the Nissan if so how’s it working out? I’m thinking of buying a 2016 Titan xd diesel…feeling a bit uncertain..
@@CountryLivingOnTheFarm no, I wound up with a 18 ram 2500 at a better price.
@@philblock is it that Ram is more reliable?..have you heard anything negative regarding Titan xd diesel?
Trying to make up my mind here if go or no go on XD. Thanks in advance!
@@CountryLivingOnTheFarm the diesel doesn't have a great reputation but it's mostly because people don't drive them enough. It's not an engine you can drive cold. I decided I didn't want to deal with the DPF/DEF system on a diesel And I found a true 3/4 ton truck local for less money.
Good video man
Thank you.
I really appreciate your video. I recently purchased a 2017 titan xd with 35000 miles. Driving home other night, I noticed my fuel mileage drop significantly for almost the entire trip home (about 40 miles). I thought I had a problem, but no engine light or anything. I have since learned about the regen system using a lot of fuel as my last diesel was a 7.3L powerstroke and didn't have such nonsense. Upon your recommendation, I got and installed the scan gauge ii and will keep an eye on things. 9 months left on the factory warranty then it's delete city for me. I'd like to keep this truck around for a long time.
Your welcome Matthew and thanks for watching my channel. Yes, the reginning will definitely hit your mileage.
It’s been two years, do you still have it?
I just bought the same truck and will be picking it up this weekend. My first upgrade will be to tint the windows and to purchase the Scangauge 2 form Autozone. Please post more videos. This is my first diesel.
Good luck with your new truck, and thanks for watching my channel.
I as well use the EDT treatment great stuff..! I recently had a issue with my fuel filter assembly by the tank in that the top of the housing cracked and was leaking..! Took it to the dealership and they didn’t have any replacements. I at first told them that I replaced the filter and at first they didn’t want to honor the warranty but reluctantly did. After driving it a week while leaking fuel all under the truck they got the part from Nissan and haven’t had any problems thus far. Well until I change the filters again. Something to look out for in the future.
Lane, I hadn't heard of cracked filter housings yet. It's definitely possible because the filter can be a bear to break loose. If you watch my video on changing the fuel filters (th-cam.com/video/b7n7yyRmj90/w-d-xo.html) you will see I'm loosening the fuel filter with a torque wrench. That was on purpose so I could tell how many ft-lbs it would take to break it loose. The filters were changed the first time by the dealership. I had to set my torque wrench to 60ft-lbs for it to budge that lower filter. Thanks for watching my channel and enjoy your XD.
I'm guessing you wiggled the fuel filter a little bit to get it out?
I have a 2019 XD and starting to run into serious performance issues especially at stop lights accelerating from dead stop. Took it to dealership and found their is a new software download which elimated the issue and markedly improved general performance
I haven't heard of any new software downloads for the 2019. Definitely not one that will enhance performance. I'm gonna look into this one. Thanks for watching my channel.
Ya thanks there a few of us that have these trucks!
One of the biggest problems with the Nissan Titan XD Cummins and other similar diesel trucks that have all the emissions garbage on them is the EGR(exhaust gas re-circulation) system. Now that the fleet is accumulating significant miles, it's being discovered that the soot the EGR puts back into the intake is contaminating the oil and causing premature abrasive wear issues throughout the engine, including rings, bearings, etc., etc.. If left unchecked, most all diesel engines will never reach the kind of mileage the owner expects before an overhaul becomes necessary.
There are three choices to deal with this problem, you can delete the EGR by removing it and reprogramming or disconnecting it so it stays closed and reprogramming or the easiest and legal solution is to install a 1 micron oil bypass filter. This is a supplemental oil filter that is installed in addition to the normal filter, but unlike the standard filter, it's capable of filtering the soot out of the oil. I have one installed on my truck and my oil literally stays looking like new as long as I change the filter on schedule. There are two systems available that I'm aware of and both are several hundred dollars overpriced, in my opinion. However, filter changes are relatively cheap and can be offset by extending oil change intervals. As for me, I now change my oil at 20k miles, even though it still looks like new oil. I do still change the primary oil filter every 10k as the owners manual stipulates.
I'm still shocked that Nissan discontinued the diesel Titan XD, considering it was so much bang for your buck compared to the other major brands. I always wondered why they did such an obviously dismal job marketing it. I ran Cummins 6.2's and 6.7's for years, but overall I prefer the 5.0 V8, so I hope that engine will show up again for sale in another truck in the future.
what bypass filter did you go with?
I have a 2016 SL with 41,000 miles I bought it used with 26,000 and the only problem so far was a NOx sensor. I also use EDT from Hot Shot, and Stanadyne every time I fuel. I get all my fuel at truck stops and only put about 1 gal of DEF (only at the truck stops) when I get the 34% warning, so it doesn't sit for a long time, I never use those boxes! When I'm towing log distance I make sure it's full first. You can save so much money when you get a fuel card from this trucking company (TSD Logistics out of Texarkana TX) I save up to 40c a gallon at times, and it's so easy at the truck stop pumps, Hope this helps, love my Titan!
Thanks for your input James and thanks for watching my channel.
Small world! I live in the Texarkana area too!
our NOX sensor failed so we bought a tuner and turned of the emissions, will eventually remove
Good stuff. First time viewer. Have a 2017 nissan titan xd diesel with only 16,500 miles. Interested in the scan gauge. Doesn't it require to drill into exhaust manifold?
No drilling. It plugs into the obd2 port under the dash near your left knee. Thanks for watching my channel.
I’ve been thinking of going with the XD for my next truck and the diesel. But curious on how much the up keep is for a year. To see if it’s even worth it. Or just go with a 2500 Ram 6.4 gas truck. Thanks. Great videos!
Hi Matt and thanks for watching my video. If you are towing at least 25% of the time with a weight equal to or more than your truck, then a diesel is probably good for you. If towing in the mountains then definitely yes. If only towing on occasion then no. The first year is cost me $250 for service. This year at 24 months it will cost me about $600. The third year it will be back to $250. Is it worth it to me? Yes, because I purchased my truck to pull my 7000lb travel trailer all over the country. But, If I only towed my TT within 400 miles of where I live on FLAT ground then I would buy the XD Gasser. The 2021 Gasser is incredible and the Pro 4x has a 2200lb payload. You owe it to yourself to drive this truck and compare to the Ram. Hope this helps.
@@works4me Thanks for getting back to me. Right now I’m towing our Jayco 242bhs with my 07 Dodge Ram 4x4 quad cab long bed. Yeah, but it’s paid for, LOL. It’s been a great truck but it’s only rated to tow 8600 pounds. You figure my wife and I and our 8 year old son, who’s growing daily, it doesn’t take much to push its limits. Some times it feels like the tail is wagging the dog if you know what I mean? My wife and I work from home, so we mostly drive her mini van. But I’m always going after reclaimed wood and towing our camper, I try not to go very far from home. But we plan on making more trips farther away. So any help would be greatly appreciated.
@@matthartlage3463 So the weight of your Jayco is the same as mine. I recently CAT scaled my truck and trailer and I am close to the max of my class IV trailer hitch capacity(1400lbs) with WDH but not the payload or GVW. With travel trailers, your truck tongue weight or payload is always exceeded before GTWR. I don’t plan on buying a fifth wheel or larger trailer so it’s not a problem for me. If this is you, personally I would go with the 2021 Titan XD Gas PRO4x that has a 2200lb payload and only if needed, bolt a class V hitch on it. Note: You don’t remove the existing class IV hitch as it is designed into the frame structure. The gas XD’s weigh about 6600lbs. So no wagging the dog. Down the road, if you’re thinking BIG fifth wheel, go with a 2500 truck. They all have floating axles. If you’re thinking of fifth wheel mountain towing then a diesel is the way to go. In this case the Ram 3500 Cummins diesel is king. Note: I would make sure you get one with the CP3 high pressure pump. The word is Ram is going back to the CP3 this year (2021). Lastly, I love my XD diesel but I knew exactly what I was getting for a specific need. Some down sides is the small fuel tank and the filler neck is the small size. So you will be using an adaptor to fill at a truck stop or knocking out the restrictor plate (which isn’t that easy). And Nissan won’t support the diesel with mechanics after 2024. Doesn’t mean they can’t work on it though. Hope this helps.
@@works4me so I’d be okay with the Gas XD towing my camper and all the “take alongs” ? And no fifth wheels, we like having room in the bed.
@@matthartlage3463 Yes. Definitely.
I have a 2017 platinum reserve (diesel) and there's a couple things I can't get my scanguage to read. For example the EG1. Any suggestions?
Try to reinstall the x gauge codes for EG1 and see if that's the problem. The next thing after that would be when the truck is off Unplug scangauge. Start truck and after 30 seconds or so plug the scan gauge in and cycle to EG1. Hope this helps. If this doesn't work call scangauge they are great to deal with.
I have this truck. Im not a big car person so can you tell me what RGN means? So I can complete the cycles? Also how will I know when my turbo is lowering its temp? When I get to my location, do I just idle for a few minutes and them shut if off?
Thanks for watching my channel Lola. Click on the link below and you should get a good feel of how the Nissan Titan XD Diesel Regenerates. www.nissantechnicianinfo.mobi/htmlversions/2015_October_November_Issue_4/Diesel_Particulate_Filter.html
Yes, so if it's an in town drive then just sit and idle for a 1-2 minutes. If traveling on the interstate going 70+ the turbo gets up to about 550-600 degrees. So wait at least 4 minutes.
Tip. When the truck is regenning in town, the idle will be about 1800 rpms. Also, your mpg on the display will go from say 17 to 12 because of the extra fuel during the regen process. It will gradually go back up though after the regen. A full regen takes about 20-25 miles so it might start regenning as soon as you start the truck to finish a regen cycle that it started previously. As long as you don't put the truck into park, reverse or open a door it will keep regenning.
Hope this helps you.
Just bought a 2019 Titan XD diesel a few months ago with 18,000 miles. Use it mostly for daily driving (only 3 miles from work), and towing a small bass boat on weekends usually within town. Was wondering if I should take it out on the highway every month or so to help with the regens?
Hi Marty. Unfortunately this truck isn't a good fit for 3 mile short drives. I would purchase a Scanguage 2 or similar so it tells you when your truck is in regen and when the regen is finished. Driving short distances doesnt ever allow the truck to finish a regen. So yes driving it on the interstate would help but a regen last for about 25 miles and you need to know when it finishes. Sorry for the negative reply.
Sir, thank you for the video. Did you have to download anything to your ScanGuage II? If. so,what were the downloads please? New Titan XD Pro 4X owner.
Michael, thanks for watching my channel. Go to the supplied link below and then enter the codes that you want into the Scanguage using the directions in the manual. That's it. Very easy.
www.scangauge.com/x-gauge-commands/2016-nissan-titan/
@@works4me thank you for the information and your response.
Thinking about Getting a diesel titan never owned a diesel before I won't be doing much towing as of now but plan to in the next year. The dealership also has a gas v8 titan xd. Not sure on what to get. Any thoughts?
If you will be towing 6 -9k pounds pretty often and then when not towing you drive over 10 miles one way to work then the diesel is good. If not get the gas. I would get an 18 or later though.
I’m having a hard time setting my truck up with the same gauges your displaying. How did you get those? Did you have to download them or program them?
Efren. Go to the Scangauge site and download the X Gauges for the Titan XD Diesel. Then enter all or just the ones you want into the unit. It's a bunch of button presses to enter but it works.
Went to the scan gauge web site and figure it out. My truck came with upgrades the dealer didn’t mention or didn’t know it had. Airbags, weather tech floor mats and a 50 gallon fuel tank. I’m blown away.
Question for you... I use my 2017 Titan XD diesel as a daily driver. I tow a boat occasionally and live in the mountains, my question is, on a daily driving basis do you still idle the diesel engine on trips less then 15 miles? If so for how long?
Yes. On trips less then 15 miles especially if driving in the mountains I would let it idle 2 to 3 minutes. When I was driving in the mountains I used DEF almost as if I was towing so don't be alarmed by higher usage in your situation. Thanks for the question Keith.
@@works4me Thanks really appreciate it! Love my XD Diesel.
👍
Hi, do you still have this truck? Do you recommend deleted the def system?
Hi Ricardo. I don't have this truck anymore. The only reason for selling the XD was because we sold our travel trailer and didnt need a large diesel any longer. I really miss the XD. It was a great truck for towing. As far as deleting the def, I personally wouldn't. I'm not sure without totally deleting the truck how you could just eliminate the def. Thanks for watching.
i see this was posted 3 years ago. have a higher mileage update? still have the truck?
I don't have this truck anymore. The only reason for selling the XD was because we sold our travel trailer and didnt need a large diesel any longer. I really miss the XD. It was a great truck for towing and never had any problems with it. I now have the smaller 2nd gen Nissan Frontier. Thanks for watching.
Yeah, I deleted mine. No def no regen
I’m doing mine this weekend
It’s freakin awesome I recommend EZ LYNK it’s expensive but you get lifetime tuning support and the tunes come with it after you request them
What’s the average cost for deleting
My 2017 50,000 miles, 2 fuel injectors went out. Is this common or a worry.? Been told don't delete system more issues.??
Go over to www.titanxdforum.com. A few people have mentioned having the same injector go out twice.
I had no problems with my 2018 Titan XD for the first 35,000 miles. I loved it. But the last 15,000 miles however I’ve went thru 2 EGR valves that have leaked into exhaust side. 1 turbo high/low actuator and 1 turbo itself after total power loss shutdown left me stranded with the boat. I’ve had it back to Nissan 10 times since. It’s been a turd since the first EGR valve went out. My truck Regens all the time while towing! It used to regen every 500 miles, now it regens every 100 miles. Used to get 18.8 mpg hw, now only gets 14.8 mpg on hw. The Nissan techs tell me the only fix would be to delete it. Hope you have better luck.
Just delete the damn thing and be happy
Can it pass at inspection time with out the regen?
@@jimmielittle877 I don’t have any emmissions testing here so it doesn’t matter
My Nissan diesel tech told me if I was planning to keep my truck after warranty, to delete it as soon as possible. I did it at 70k. I’m at 90k now. I didn’t have any issues before either. I just plan to keep the truck until it rusts away.
My Titan XD diesel was in 3ft of flood water from storm Ian. Now it vibrates and hard accelerates. Nissan dealer had no luck fixing problem. Also no codes come up. Any ideas? Def exhaust valve?
I have question for you do your transmission shift hard between 2-3 gear
No it doesn't. I think Nissan worked out the transmission programming by 2019. Or maybe I'm lucky.
Yes it does, my xd is tuned and deleted with ezlink. 2-3 shift hard my daily is on added 60hp. I notice that when I am in hurry and I take of quick it shifts smoother vs taking off slow
@@yuliangonzalez8223 mine is deleted and tuned aswell, however a diesel that shifts hard is always praised because the transmission normally last longer before it begins to slip with age. every big HD truck i have rode in has shifted hard
@@yuliangonzalez8223do you still have the truck and who helped you fix it. I have a 18 sv, I would like to fix.
Just drive it. There’s no need to do ANY of this although I do use the hotshot fuel additive. Other than that, the truck does everything by itself. No need to monitor it.
Sorry I don't agree with you. The truck doesn't do everything by itself. If it did, it would not allow you to turn the truck off when the turbo is at 800-900 degrees. This will damage the bearings and then the turbo will go out much sooner. Not knowing when the truck is in regen or even the progression of the cycle is a mistake on Nissans part. Also, how am I supposed to make a video on not doing anything to my truck but just drive it:) Thanks anyway for watching the video.
I have 2019 xd deisel and I tow 5,000 every day . Truck has almost 50,000 no issues ..
This truck loves to tow .!!! If ur not towing u need to punch it once a week on interstate like manual says to keep it clean
I purchased today, a 2019 Titan XD Cummins with 29k miles. Do you still recommend the scan gauge? Or different gauges?
Congrats on your new purchase. I do prefer the Scanguage because it stays semi permanently in the truck via a suction cup mount. I can take it off quick and put in glove box if needed. Being able to add the x-gauges gives you all the monitoring you will need.
@@works4me I really enjoyed your Titan XD videos and thanks for the quick response! You pointed out the EG1 and the EG3 xgauges read, do you happen to know what the other three EG read? Or where I can find this information? Thank Sir.
Ed from Arizona ;)
I don't remember the other EG's but I do remember them being about the same as the EG3 so I didn't use them. I only worried about the turbo temp, exhaust temp, soot level and regen off or on. When towing I set it to read trans temp, water temp and turbo temp.
What do you mean needle half full on def I don’t have a needle gauge on my XD
Sorry there isn't a needle gauge, just a digital gauge.
Thank you for making this video. The Titan XD is my dream truck, I find the engine absolutely fascinating. My wife and I bought it together, her way of saying I love you!
I've got a 2019. Bought it brand new, now has 50,000km on it. Averaging 13.36L/100km (17.61 us mpg). We live on a highway so regens usually are not an issue. The sad thing is, the more you drive the truck towards fuel economy the more it regens. I find 80-85 km/h in sixth gives the best economy while doing the regen. I really want to pull a load with it. It was a fun drive in the mountains and didn't regen.
I buy my DEF from the dealership, using Nissan branded DEF. When it drops down to 20% warning, I put a whole bottle of DEF in. Using Stanadyne Performance Diesel Fuel additive. Mobil 1 Delvac 5w40 motor oil. I do the fuel filters with oil changes, lubricate the hinges. Service transmission and axles together at 30,000km.
I'm actually impressed with the instrumentation in the Titan XD. The exhaust gas temp gauge seems to be the only one that is a bit of a liar, the rest seems to actually move around in a way that makes sense for the given load. I don't see the need for additional monitoring on a stock truck, but more data is never a bad thing.
Navysturmgewehr, Congrats on getting your dream truck. Your wife must really love you:) You are welcome for the video and thanks so much for watching my channel.
You will notice that in the mountains and when towing you will go through some DEF so keep a close eye on that. Keep using that additive and changing the fluids and you and the wife should get many kms/miles on your truck.
Which motor oil did you use when you had the Titan XD Cummins?
Rotella T5.
Thank you Sir. Is there any reason not Rotella T6?
@@469union In Florida I wanted to stick with 10W-30 weight oil. If they had T6 in this weight I would have used it. I don't remember being able to find it though.
New to diesel, what is a regen?

Nothing about this will keep it running.
Although that's a cool gadget a Bluetooth or wifi OBD2 reader works awesome and the amount of apps for it like torque are sweet.
I babied my titan and it's sitting at the dealership right now. 2016 it's on its second engine starting at 18,400. And made it to 46,000.
It's a wiring harness they think. And they'd because of the known issue with water getting in the harness.
It's an injector code # 8. If anyone has come across this please let me know Nissan did it will be 30 days before they can look at it since more
Sorry to hear about the problems with your XD. Unfortunately the 2016's being a first year had many problems. I don't know if you really meant you babied your Titan or not but, diesels don't like to be babied:) If you don't tow many miles or don't drive the interstate, todays diesel are not good to own. Thanks for watching my channel.
Do you run Amsoil?
I ran Shell Rotella T5
I have 200k and no issues. I don't even drive highway that much, just a lot of city. Just stay on top of your stuff and listen to the engine. Get things in writing. Have the solder Crack on the turbo and nissan says it won't be an issue but it's not under warranty anymore. I have that in writing so that if it does fail they'll be liable 🤙🤙🤙
How's it running?
@@phantomcreamer literally no problems. Turbo hasn't been a problem. At 235k right now
@@christopherbernhardt Nice! This is the diesel engine? What year, and have you done any modifications?
Do you ever get a strong odor in the cab during regen?
I've heard of this on the 16-17s but not so much on the 18-19s. I don't have this problem.
Yeah for sure. I have a 2017 XD Pro4x. The easy fix is to put your air on recirculate. That helps a ton.
@@works4me My '18 does throw a kerosene smell in the cabin during regen. Putting climate control on recirc stops it.
I've got the 17 xd pro and was always wondering why it was smelling in the cab occasionally.
Some models do. Nissan “fixed” this issue by making the recirculate come on automatic with regens. Deleting the emissions or just pressing the recirculating button causes the smell to go away.
2017 xd diesel with 38,500 miles. No major problems yet..........
Glad to hear it. Don't make short trips in it and tow with it, and it shouldn't have any problems. Thanks for watching.
What’s regenerating?
Glad you asked. Here is a link to great info on regeneration for our Titan ISV 5.0 Diesel. www.nissantechnicianinfo.mobi/htmlversions/2015_October_November_Issue_4/Diesel_Particulate_Filter.html
SO who has a fair amount of miles on their truck? I have 106,500 on my 2016. Ive had no problems. Oil, fuel filters every 9-10K. Synthetic oil. K&N washable filter. Does anyone have 200K plus?
I’m at 150000 no issues sb filter and ez LYNK delete
95k miles on diesel ‘16 pro 4x. No major issues.
86,000 miles. Stock. No issues at all. What oil do you use?

I did a total tune and delete on my 2016 Titan 5.0. That alone eliminated all the issues with heat and regen and you don't have to purchase def fluid. Your turbo thanks you because it runs cooler. I also run a 5 inch exhaust front the manifolds to the rear of the truck. I change the oil every 3,500 miles. It's cheaper to change the oil than the motor.
3 years later is it dead?
I'm sure it's running fine still. I sold it a year ago after selling my large travel trailer. I really miss it now that I have a much smaller truck.
@@works4me i want one but i keep hearing horror stories about the diesel
All your product links have disappeared
I'm not seeing that, they're still visible if you expand the details
You really should think about putting your truck on a diet. The only disadvantages is that your warranty would be voided, and the second wouldn’t happen because police typically don’t care, unless you are being an asshole rolling coal on a +140hp tune. Idk where you could find it, but you really should consider it.
@@works4me with you monitoring literally everything, you probably won’t have a problem. But I believe the filter life of a DEF cat whatever is 100k-150k I believe. It’ll be cheaper to buy the diet then replace all the parts.
Trade it in at 60k miles. Best way
Just drive it. There’s no need to bother knowing any of these things. It’s all done automatically and doesn’t need to be babysat. My 2016 has 80k miles and never had to know any of this stuff.
But that poor quality, low resolution camera system needs updating! It’s ridiculously outdated! Pretty stupid that Nissan doesn’t fix it!
I'm with you Kenn, it's just sad. When I bought the truck the video quality didn't bother me too much. Now, in 2022 with other cars having really sharp cameras it bothers me.
@@works4me yeah it’ll be real hard in 2022 to ignore it’s contrast to all others! I wonder if they will address it with the 23 or 24 model, before it hits the chopping block! I kind of want the 23 model but I just can’t if they don’t update that system as it would drive me crazy, especially after dropping 50-60k…
Sounds more difficult than owning a boat. No thanks!
One of the biggest problems with the Nissan Titan XD Cummins and other similar diesel trucks that have all the emissions garbage on them is the EGR(exhaust gas re-circulation) system. Now that the fleet is accumulating significant miles, it's being discovered that the soot the EGR puts back into the intake is contaminating the oil and causing premature abrasive wear issues throughout the engine, including rings, bearings, etc., etc.. If left unchecked, most all diesel engines will never reach the kind of mileage the owner expects before an overhaul becomes necessary.
There are three choices to deal with this problem, you can delete the EGR by removing it and reprogramming or disconnecting it so it stays closed and reprogramming or the easiest and legal solution is to install a 1 micron oil bypass filter. This is a supplemental oil filter that is installed in addition to the normal filter, but unlike the standard filter, it's capable of filtering the soot out of the oil. I have one installed on my truck and my oil literally stays looking like new as long as I change the filter on schedule. There are two systems available that I'm aware of and both are several hundred dollars overpriced, in my opinion. However, filter changes are relatively cheap and can be offset by extending oil change intervals. As for me, I now change my oil at 20k miles, even though it still looks like new oil. I do still change the primary oil filter every 10k as the owners manual stipulates.
I'm still shocked that Nissan discontinued the diesel Titan XD, considering it was so much bang for your buck compared to the other major brands. I always wondered why they did such an obviously dismal job marketing it. I ran Cummins 6.2's and 6.7's for years, but overall I prefer the 5.0 V8, so I hope that engine will show up again for sale in another truck in the future.
Thank you for the useful info Les B. I too have researched adding the Amsoil Remote Bypass filter system. Is this the one you are referring to?
You're very much right...but Nissan didn't discountinue anything... cummins did.
But does the bypass filter make the truck go,” swoooootshstshstsh?”
