If thats the case The cummins was born in a bastardized pic-up! and now it no-longer has the Dodge name. It is now called the Ram! If you think about it, the Dodge was born from Ford, the brothers had their start from the executive side. Since then, they were picked up by chrysler, and have been carried over as a step child! Now their truck division is open to be sold off at a moments notice!

Now back to the build! Gunman whats next? Anyone have a drawing for this little demon? I was thinking a roots blower to the Intake and a huge turbo to take up the slack after the blower did its job?

They dropped the dodge for marketing reasons. That way it can be sold at any dealership dodge, jeep, chrysler without the dealer having to buy into the dodge market share. Smart

Back in 2009 Fiat bought a considerable share in the Chrysler Corporation. By separating the Ram not only was it smart, just as the reasons you state. It is also a tact full way to be able to piece out Chrysler when things get stupid. I wonder how long before we see Fiat or IVECO on the vehicles like the sprinter, or the pic-up truck? They are still muling over the idea of using IVECO diesel in our Trucks. Would you buy a ram if they did that? You might see the big picture... ... ...
