Some of you may remember I have a 914 Porsche I converted to a 300+ HP 928 V8. The car is lovingly known as the Alien.
We traded in our V6 Nissan Xterra for a V8 Titan as the V6 wasn't up to the task of towing the Alien through the Mountains. So considering the Titan is my wifes, we called it the Mothership.
We've had the worst luck with the truck. The first Diff broke at around 7000 miles. We had the warentee service done a week before the first event! We bought this truck to tow the Alien out to the West Coast Classic 05 in So Cal.
Five days before the event the diff broke. It took 6 weeks to get it fixed. Nissan wouldn't loan us a truck so we could keep our vacation plans intact. My options were to drive the car at great risk to the event or not go.
We never towed anything with it before the first failure.
Now just over 36000 and it broke again. We still haven't used it to tow more than my 12' trailer with the 914 (twice) and the MGA (once) I put a plow on it last year but it was such a bad plow truck I gave up trying to use it to plow after 4 tries.
Were hoping the "60,000 mile Power Train" warentee covers the rear axle or were Fuched! We just have the last basic warentee done two weeks ago. Just went over the 36000 mile basic warentee!
Anyone ever had this happen? We luv the truck, but CRAP! that's it! Were selling the truck as soon as it's fixed AGAIN!
BTW: When we had it in last, the service manager told us when they changed the diff under warentee they failed to install the vent in the new diff. They were to order one and call us when it came in. Guess what... No call. Now they'll get to add that vent to the second diff!
