Your argument is retarded, do cummins engines come stock in fords? No. Do international? Yes. This is like arguing that a dodge with a cummins shouldn't with the dodge totm because it doesn't have a Dodge engine it.

Well, I was going off of what I was told at the Ford plant in Dearborne when I toured it several years ago. They said that Ford owned a good deal of shares in Cummins (regardless of company size, they almost all sell shares to the "public"...right?), and companies with similar interests often invest in one another. I never said Ford "owned" Cummins...they didn't even have majority enough of the shares to be on the board, to my understanding, but I'm 99% sure that they did own shares in Cummins...and used to own many more shares than they do now. The Cummings Financial thing is news to me, so I can't argue that....and I can easily see how the lesser educated could confuse the two especially seeing as people on THIS SITE often sneak a "g" in there too...
If I'm wrong, I apologize...I was just going off of what I heard from the historians at the Ford plant. (I was the one in the tour group who asked if Ford owned Cummins or not )
I'll shut up now

What about medium duty trucks? Never seen a cummins in f-550 and larger trucks? Or the L series? Maybe the first 5 words of your post apply to you...

Wow, this thread is getting out of hand a little bit.
Can we agree that big companies have 3rd party dealings for the very reason of passing the blame? It happens all the time...to almost every 500 company. It's insurance to allow you to take risks without carrying too much burden on your company itself.
Second, my "stock matching numbers" comment was just a razz becuse my truck is clearly a mutt. And I did mention in my submission that my engine came from a Medium Duty Ford...so technically, yes, it was posted.
I will refrain from misleading sarcasm now. My apologies.

You said that Cummins engines didnt come stock in ford trucks. That is wrong because they did. Just not the lighter stuff. But yes, some fords did, and still do, come with cummins engines.
