Duramax or Cummings

[Gravel]

As pimp as that truck is, its completely worthless to me..

As for Ford and Cummins, it's not gonna happen and Ford no longer has any owned interest in Cummins.

Thanks Gravel for putting that rumor to rest.

agreed, i wouldnt kno what to do with the truck. i have issues getting into and out of it as is. He built it because he owns a diesel performance shop and wanted to show what he can do

I have also heard rumors over the years that Ford supposedly bought Cummins and they will start using those, while Dodge will be using the Mercedes diesels.

I'm pretty sure about the former, I have only heard rumors about the latter. Has anyone else heard about either.

Navistar is suing ford for a billion dollars or more for ending relationship, but apparently stealing the next generation designs last I heard (basically stealing the engine and not wanting to contract with navistar). Ford counter suing it will be in courts for years. Interestingly I read Nissan is eager to hook up with Navistar and put a Navistar diesel in the 09s. It might already be a done deal by now.
