cummins 2.8 diesel engine review
All of the air pollution control systems are combined and mounted to the engine, rather than farther down in the exhaust stream like the 5.0L V8 slated for production in the next generation Nissan Titans.
The engine also has a water-to-air intercooler to maximize power and performance.
We expect highway fuel economy of this engine to be closing in on 30mpg when installed in a mid-size pickup such as the Frontier running an 8-speed automatic.
