Actually I am Wrong, The article was from 1992. Here is what Cummins says about Ford:

http://www.cummins.com/cmi/content.j...menuIndex=3#Q1

"Does Ford own Cummins?
No, Ford does not own any part of Cummins Inc "

 

huh....i have had family that currently works at Cummins say that Ford owns part of them......hmmmm interesting....

 

hell half of us want to put a flame thrower exhuast kit on our trucks, didnt know the new super dutys came with them already thrown in.

 

yeah ford owns no part of cummins.

 

n not only are cummins goin to be put into the new SDs they are making one for the tundra and redesignin the one for dodge. the one for Toys are goin to be a high performance one. my girls dad told me a little bout bein as he works for kenworth n just got certified on all the cummins engines

 

That's what my truck sounded like after we got the water out of the cyllinders and it finally cranked over lmao

 

I really like the new SDs as well. I would have gotten one, but I wasn't going to spend another $10k...lol. 150 is plenty big enough for me and I'm 6'8". Only reason I could see for needing an SD is if you have to pull a crap load on a regular basis. Also all the new diesel emissions bs I wouldn't want to deal with

 

That's why you get a pre2006 =]

 

Why wasn't my Ranger equipped with the Factory Flamethrower Option? Dammit!

 

You can have the flame thrower option, I dont want it, specially if Ford puts it on, thats just bad news. I've heard enough about fords catching on fire. The only thing I would want that ford makes is the Ranger (98-03) and the mustang (99-04). I'll go back to dodge if I want a full size truck.......other than the weak auto tranny, i've never heard dodge having any big problems, specially not fires.

 

that is cool looking.

 

Dodge has an exclusive contract on Cummins B series engines that go in their trucks.......unless Cummins designs another engine to put in the SD's, they are not allowed by contract....

 

Exactly.

that other info is false information. Where ever he got it from is wrong.

 

That doesn't keep me from putting a Cummins B series in the Ford of my choice!

EDIT: Speaking of which the plans are already set... I'm just waiting to get hired at this construction job I was offered, once I am, expect a full build thread within a year, maybe a progress build thread by the end of summer!

 

no it doesn't........they do make kits to adapt a B series Cummins in a SD.......IF you want to spend the $5,000 for the kit + another $5,000 for an engine, + another couple grand for a tranny/transfercase + another couple grand for all the wiring and harness........

 

Who said anythign about FordCummins kits... All I have read is that theyre stuff is crap, and overpriced...

Here is the Kit pricing.

huh....cheaper than what i thought those kits would be...

 

I like the new SD's alot, the front grill and headlights just look tough...Saw one on the expressway a few weeks ago and damn was it nice...It was just a regular XLT.

The interior on those trucks is soooo much nicer than the other brands too.

 

his teacher at the class told him that..i think they are goin to redesign the engine...hell idunno all i kno is thats what he told me

 

I feel you on that one. Ford is just another ****ty motor company nowadays.
