I'm personally getting excited about the Colorado. I feel that little thing could be a real bad Ass.

Na....Nissan will find a way to screw it up. Pos vehicles,I hate working on any Nissan.

Case closed. I couldn't say it any better myself.

Is it out anywhere yet? Europe?


Well the gas tundras won't touch 20mpgs,least those that I work on won't. Hell very few 1/2 tons will,best I've ever got out of any one I've owned was 19.

And how could anyone ever guess anything less than a bunch of commiefornia/fed force emissions on any new vehicle, diesel or gass.......useless statement :roll:

As with any other vehicle there will be modifications to be made,there always it :)
Just like any other vehicle made these days,it will be detuned for the sake of drivetrain durability maybe emissions reasons.

Case not closed :lol:

Do explain...


What I read in TDR or someplace was Cummins was building a 3.0 (IIRC) V-6, and a 5.0 V-8 to possibly be used in Dodge trucks, the 5.0 in the 1/2 tons and the 3.0 in smaller stuff, Dakotas, Durangos, etc. When the economy went in the toilet Dodge pulled out because they didn't want the expense of the diesel at that time.

I believe today is my three year anniversary with my Dodge. I fully expect a break down.

Not bad, I paid $145 for mine with a 2 year free replacement.
Granted, I wasn't looking to install dual batteries either.

That's about par, the battery in the 82 cost me 130 from O'Reilly.
