Default Cummins Emblem

If I glue a Cummins emblem to the Ford PSD I'm currently driving while my truck is waiting for a transmission from Mr. Dave Goerend, number 2 by the way, will the Ford last til 500k like the Cummins is supposed to?

500,000 miles? The cummins is barely getting broken in. its a 5 million mile motor before it even needs rings. And still get 28 mpg at 150 mph.

man i wish i were him that cummings motor sure is the end all for diesel performance, and powerstrokes need their oil changed every 3k miles totally negating one of the main benefits of buying a diesel which is to get longer service intervals

yeah Tony, you're supposed to be changing the oil pretty much as soon as it turns dark black in color, i usually change mine every 5-10 minutes, so I don't get anywhere to fast being as i'm always changing the oil
