I would like to know if anyone has done a diesel conversion on the nv3500. I have come to find out that the 5.6L v-8 is gutless especially when towing. Has anyone done or seen the 5.0L conversion done on these vans? My 04 F350 that was completely loaded out to 17k plus (truck cclb 4x4, with a car hauler behind it with a 6500 pound Diesel Jeep crawler on the car hauler) was still managing 17 mpg while my wife’s nv3500 only loaded to 12k (that is van and trailer together) maybe at max managed 12 mpgs maybe. Any suggestions would be great.

Hello all, I have been a 2016 NV3500 HD owner for about 2 years now and like the van but I am trying to see if any of you have swapped out the exhaust and installed a cold air intake. Right now my NV is tows my Diesel Powered 1985 Jeep CJ7 around and when I towed cross country the van at times felt I it did not have any power. The Jeep will weigh fully loaded around 5800 pounds after doing the dana 60 swap and the trailer if it fits the Jeep will weigh 2300 pounds so I will be still under the max tow rating of my van. I have looked at the Nismo exhaust system for the Titan and from my understanding the NV is based on the Titan platform. Also was there much change between the model years of 2015 to 2016? Any help would be great, I am just trying to squeeze out more power out of the 5.6L that is under the hood of the van. I am trying to avoid having to go to a diesel pickup at the moment, do not want to add another car payment also. Part numbers and where to get them at would be great please. Thank you.
