#725 of 1470 TO DAUGHES by jerrymcshane1 Feb 23, 2004 (10:26 am)
A question regarding the ABSENCE of a two-tone(exterior)paint job option on the Titan. I realize I'm talking about a truck and all, but this option can really SET OFF the appearance of a truck. The Silverado/Sierra BOTH offer this option, and some of these color combinations such as the white/pewter, I believe, are very impressive. Just my $.02 cents, but what's Nissan's mindset regarding this? THANKS.

I do not mind changes in login procedures. But now I find that I cannot use my old login name, renonevada, to upgrade to the new system. Is there a reason for that? Is there a way to get my old login name back? Or did someone else claim my login name before I had a chance to re-claim it?

no1renonevada, Sorry, but the engine is built in TN, not MS, so I haven't seen how much "meat" there is between the cylinder walls. I do know that the oil pump is in front of the crankshaft, and the engine does use timing chains.   jerrymcshane1, As far as I know, there are no plans to do two-tone paint jobs, but I am not involved in the paint process, so I can't say for sure. However, I do know that some dealerships will do two-tone paint jobs if asked. Maybe bowke28 could give you more information about that.
#728 of 1470 paint... by bowke28 Feb 23, 2004 (12:24 pm)
its inadvisable to paint a new truck unless its by a conversion company. ie: explorer, southern comfort, etc...   nissan has never (that i know of) had 2 tone paint on any vehicle.   daughes...   i was in jackson right before x-mas...went to the nissan dealer to haul a Z back here to louisville. i was blown away at the sheer size of the developed area around the plant. you are probably on the armada board too, but if you can give us some insight into the resonance issues over there, id appreciate it.   also, are there any plans for an extended wheelbase on the titan? ie: king cab long bed?
#729 of 1470 How long is the wait?? by jochua48 Feb 23, 2004 (7:58 pm)
Thanks daughes for the AUX answer. Do you or anyone else in here have a feel for the waiting period? The dealer told me 90 days when I ordered it a week ago. Should I expect 90 days? more? less?
#730 of 1470 Wait by kjdenahy Feb 23, 2004 (8:35 pm)
Your time line will all depend on what you got in your truck. I have found that most people have gotten their order in about 60-65 days. I ordered mine on Dec. 19th, the dealer ordered in on Jan. 6th. My delivery date is March 26th. I got the Air-Bag package, which is why I think it may be taking a little longer. Dealers only put orders in once a month so depending on when your dealer puts in the order will let you know when to expect your truck.   By the way, waiting is PURE HELL!!

Welcome to the Forum.   Can you verify what we are being told regarding the availability of the locking differential, is it still on target for April?   Regards,   TZ
#732 of 1470 Locking Diff. by daughes Feb 24, 2004 (9:11 am)
To the best of my knowledge, we will begin building Titans with the locking differential in April.

I am considering purchasing the Titan but I am concerned about the stereo.   Is there any solution at this time on the poor quality of the fm stereo. There is a lot of talk on other forums and many complaints have been filed with Nissan. One Nissan tech rep acknowledges the problem and they are looking into installing a fm signal booster into the vehicle.   Do you have any knowledge on the update of this problem?

THOUGHT YOU MIGHT FIND THIS ARTICLE INTERESTING:   Analyst cuts auto profit outlook   Shares of Detroit's two biggest automakers and parts makers tumbled Monday after an influential industry analyst saw too many pickups and sport-utility vehicles on dealers' lots and lowered his expectations for second-quarter profits.   "Sales are below plan, despite rising incentives, and truck inventory is bloated," Goldman Sachs analyst Gary Lapidus said in his report Monday. He cut his second-quarter profit projections for General Motors Corp., Ford Motor Co., Delphi Corp. and Visteon Corp. He also cut the full-year profit outlook on all of those companies, except for GM.   At the beginning of the year, Detroit automakers, including the Chrysler Group, were expecting 2004 sales of more than 17 million cars and light trucks, based on economic growth of about 4 percent.   But in January, dealer sales indicated the year would yield only 16.1 million sales, and so far February's projection doesn't look much better -- about 16.2 million, Lapidus said.   Part of the problem was excessive optimism coming into the year, said Peter Morici, former chief economist for the U.S. International Trade Commission, who predicted only about 3.6 percent growth this year.   Since so many of the goods Americans buy are made overseas, the strong economic growth late last year -- fueled by President George W. Bush's tax cuts -- didn't create the usual ripple effects.   Many of those imported products are cheap for Americans as a result of policies in countries like China and Japan that keep their currencies artificially low.   "Currency manipulation robbed the president's tax cut of its punch," Morici said. "This isn't a great year for the economy. It's just going to be sort of a so-so year for growth."   The fact that so much of the industry's bulging inventory is in light trucks is an ominous sign of the damage inflicted by new Japanese offerings, SUCH AS THE MISSISSIPPI-MADE NISSAN TITAN, Morici said.   He estimates that 100,000 Titans a year will cut Ford's annual profits by almost $1 billion.   If the added competition cuts the average price of full-size pickups by $1,000 -- a figure similar to those Lapidus has projected over the years -- and Ford sells 900,000 or so F-Series pickups, that equals $900 million in annual revenue lost.   The same phenomenon also could hit GM, the Chrysler Group and even Toyota, which sold 101,000 Tundras last year.   Investors are always looking at a company's prospects for earning profits. Accordingly, Lapidus is handicapping second-quarter production -- a key factor in automakers' revenues, and hence, profits.   They could pare back production plans for the January-to-March quarter, but Lapidus said that is not likely "because the Big Three are sensitive to the message that a cut to" first-quarter plans "could send."   So it is more likely they would set a lighter-than-expected production schedule for the second quarter.
