(Seriously these "rumors" about dodge and cummins are getting old,)
agreed

 

ya i've heard all the rumors. but then again people need something to talk about always. only believe what you hear when cummins releases it to the public.

 

Not going to happen anytime soon but I wouldnt say never due to the way emissions are headed. I work for Ford and straight from a regional directors mouth, "Ford is looking to drop the Powerstroke in 2015". They are having too much success with the Ti-VCT and ecoboost technology to deal with the pressure from emissions and the cost of replacing all the EGR parts.

 

with that being said, if ford brought out a superduty with the cat, i would buy it without thinking twice. i miss playing with cat's, miss the sound, miss everything about them. that would be fords only real way to play with new cummins and the new duramax's.. again just my personal opinion.. but yes i would gladly get rid of my 7.3 powerstroke for a super duty with a cat.

 

They have them in service trucks. you can find an F-450 with a CAT. Not many of them were made. They started to build them in 2001, not sure when they stopped.

 

trust me bro, if i found one at a reasonable price, it would be in my driveway.. but i know they probably would want too much for a used one

 

If Ford had half a head on there shoulders they would have develped a inline 6 instead of a V8. I don't care how good there ecoboost engines are. If Ford drops the powerstroke they would be doomed in the HD market.

If dodge didn't have the cummins and had a different Diesel It would be between Ford and Dodge and I would go with who ever I thought had the better motor. Chevy is not a contender because of the front axil, when I have a load on the truck and I am locked in 4 low I need to know my front wheels are pointing forward and are not going to break.

Have you been in a 2010+ truck the ride is great, the interior is top notch. I jump in a new chevy and it is like a tin can compared to the dodge. Plus the history I have had with dodge as far as durability has been unbeatable. I have owned Ford Superduties I know how the Ford vrs Dodge compare. Dodge trucks have been way cheaper to maintain get better mileage, and pull better.

 

What Dodge is losing Cummins???? Who is going to pick up the 5.9 GM or ford?

I am sorry I had to post that as far as dealing with dodge to have a cummins.... If you don't like having a dodge but want a cummins why don't you put a re-manufactured 5.9 in your ford or GM???? I know of a company that builds remaned 5.9s I bought one from them and have been more than happy with it

 

ford makes cummins. troll complete.

 

I suppose technically "Dodge" is losing Cummins cuz now it's "Ram" trucks, your not supposed to call'em Dodge Rams according to the press releases I've seen. Ram still has Cummins, Dodge is cars now and any diesels there will most likely be a Fiat derivative.
