dodge is no longer with cummins?!!??
#21
my neighbor is a diesel mechanic who works closely with many dodge/cummins employees.What he has told me is that the cummins contract that was signed way back when will be running out soon...but that is not to say that they will not sign it back.The contract between cummins and dodge has been a huge success not only helping move dodge trucks, but also just getting the cummins brand out there. I agree with what was said above about all the rumors that spread.I remember hearing that fords new diesel would be a 7.2l cat diesel...if only ha ha.But Ram trucks sales would plumit without the cummins.

yea i still would drive a dodge even with out the cummins in it. i havent found another truck that will take the beating my dodges get daily. and to answer ur last question i LOVE the truck my cummins is tucked into

im not to impressed with the premium series tractors to tell you the truth they are small underpowered and the dealership charges 2 much 2 work on them(which the mechanic gets none of). shoulda got an 8R series just because of how awesome they are. and if cummins went elsewhere i would 2 not much a fan of the dodge but love the cummins.

tolerate the truck for the engine. If the day ever comes that I can afford to put it into a 05 ford, id probably do it.

I have owned 5 dodges 2 with the Cummins in them , 2 with 318s in them and 1 with the 5.7 hemi in it . 4 out of 5 have been good reliable trucks and the other one has to but it is the 2010 RT Classic Challenger and I still own one of the cummins an 07 mega cab . I will buy dodge again . And as for who owns Cummins ,Cummins owns Cummins now.

Well being that I live in columbus where Cummins is headquarters, i can tell you this rumor is false. I have many friends working for cummins. Dodge and Cummins signed a contract just last year to extend their partnership through 2020 with an early extension option in 2016. I actually got to see the new 2012 motor just last week in a tour and a buddy of mine is on the team working on the next gen dodge cummins set for release in about 3-4 yrs(no, i dont know specs ratings or anything of that sort so dont ask)
Seriously these "rumors" about dodge and cummins are getting old, it seems that every couple weeks someone is posting up the same old rumor thats be around for over 20 yrs. Trust me, Cummins is the center point of this town, and so is its contract with dodge. Hell, the paper prints a 4 page article everytime cummins announces that they are doing anything, hire 20 employees=4 pg article. Put in new bathrooms=4 page article.
