Has anyone heard about Ford making a new diesel for the 2007 superduty? Someone tried to tell me that Ford was going to be putting Cummins into thier trucks and that Dodge was going to be using Mercedes-Benz diesel motors?
That will be a sweet combo, make the superduty even bettermtnloverxtreme said:that is a fact. ford will be putting cummins in their trucks shortly. ford has interests in cummins and has had for a few years, but dodge worked a deal to keep the engines in their trucks until 07 or 08, then the benz engines go in. soooo, german engines going in mexican made ( all dodges diesels are made in mexico) trucks. buy american (canadian) lol

No, Ford doesnt own Cummins, when the B series came out, Ford purchased 6% to use the B series engines in thier F-650 trucks. Cummins bought back Ford's 6% in the late 90's. The Ford/Navistar agreements are set for the next 10 years, and the Dodge/Cummins is set for the next 7.ore-gone said:hasn't ford owned Cummins for 5/6 years now. i thought they bought them when they came out with the b series. but the contract with dodge kept cummins in the dodge.

All of the Cummins B series engines I have seen, and worked on were made in the U.S, with parts from Brazil, Canada, and Japan.mtnloverxtreme said:that is a fact. ford will be putting cummins in their trucks shortly. ford has interests in cummins and has had for a few years, but dodge worked a deal to keep the engines in their trucks until 07 or 08, then the benz engines go in. soooo, german engines going in mexican made ( all dodges diesels are made in mexico) trucks. buy american (canadian) lol
