So is it dumb to buy one now? Are parts going to be scarce if a feller wanted to buy one and keep it a long time? This is really bad news. My favorite van out there and now it's going away.

I hate to see a post go so long unanswered.? It has the same engine and transmission as my '09 Titan with 256,000 trouble free miles on it so...

Thank you, not so much off topic. It's what's led to this whole problem. I wish the government would let engineers engineer. I also had a Ram with the 5.9 Cummins. I wish I never got rid of it. I just think auto makers should be redesigning these engines to alleviate this problem. Maybe they're working on it but this engine has been in service for several years now and seems to be continuing in to 2021. Would sure prefer the V8 to the V6 but I'm not sure I'd want to mess with the valve cleaning.

Great post. I remember the diesel fiasco of the 70's. Yeah, I'm old. It was a great analogy to what's happening now with the DI system. I'm a little surprised there hasn't been a class action law suit against auto makers. I know it's not just Nissan. In my book, it is a design flaw. If nothing else they should redesign the engines and incorporate an injector upstream of the intake valves to wash them off as some automakers have. In the meantime we are stuck with a flawed design. I totally understand wanting the V8 though. I'm not aware of 2021 NV's being built. I haven't seen the commercial and I don't see it on Mr. Google. Perhaps for other markets other than North America.

Watching that video talked me in to the V6 engine with Multi Port injection.?

Thank you. Good info. Wish they'd change the design of the direct injection engines.

Thanks Aztec. Do the catch cans make a big difference? I do remember hearing about them.

Hi Folks, just signed up here. Probably getting off on the wrong foot. I don't yet have an NV but would like to get one soon. It seems difficult getting some technical information. I understand the V8 versions of the NV vans have direct injection as does the current Titan. I know with early versions of direct injection engines soot build up was a problem on the intake valves. Is this a concern with the NV vans? Any insight is greatly appreciated. Thank you. Also, is it true that Nissan has discontinued the NV vans in the North American market? Should this be a concern? Thank you much.
