There's plenty of info there... It was posted in 2010 and the article states they reached a multi year contract extension. What more do you need? These rumors have been going on since 07...

The rumors ive heard are
1. Dodge is losing cummins and will be getting a mercades benz diesel motor or however you spell it.
2. Ford is using cummins parts to build there new 6.7 diesel (this not to sure bout dont care bout fords what so ever so i dont bother to read bout them)
3. CAT did quit making diesel engines for pete, ken, etc. for a couple years hince to why paccar designed there own motor (which has cummins parts too) to give consumers more of a motor choice other than just cummins and detroit. But they are coming out with there own TRUCK with a newly designed diesel motor
if i'm wrong about any of this please correct me

Once again, its all rumor. every bit of it. the ford using cummins has been the dream of ford owners since 89,
2nd, dodge and diamlyer split, diamlyer owns mercedes, they wont be putting a mercedes motor into a dodge truck.
If you all think these rumors are true, well, ive got some ocean front property in Kentucky to sell you too

CAT does make a light duty engine, the C7 which ain't that great. As far as making on highway trucks they're just a rebaged international prostar with the crappy egr/dpf deal. Any on highway 07+ CAT is a nightmare! This coming from someone who has owned 3 (3406B, 3406E, and pre acert single turbo C15) the day CAT stopped making a good engine was when they came out with the acert crap in 04. I own a 12.7 DD now and can't be happier with fuel millage. Paccar is only kw and pete can't get a Detroit I'm em since 03 since freightliner owns them. The isx cummins is the only way to go now if you want big power and reliability.

we got 2 FL80 frightliners we had all custom redone to pull livestock trailers to rodeo's and stuff and they got the lil cat motor's both with super 10's and we get along pretty good with them and our 06 kenworth that pulls a pot has the ISX in it and yes it's very dependable and tons of power! Love it and our 03 pete has one of the last good CAT motor's and she's still runnin strong!

Here is something to think about. Fiat ownes Case International, which used cummins motors for decades. Now for 2011 no more cummins.
Cough, cough, who ownes Dodge?? Fiat, if they are dumb enough to drop cummins in there farm tractors they are dump enough to drop the cummins engine in the dodge ram. I just hope they are not that stupid.

I don't know about that I have had good luck with the red tractors. I have a 2009 John Deere 7230premium with 1300 hours that I bought new, so far I am not that impressed and Kind of wish I would have bought the Case IH Puma instead.
