The last we all heard, Cummins was supplying engines through 2007.



Where did you get this NEW info?

Yeah I liked the Cummins idea not the Mercedes

Found this at www.moparchat.com in the Ram forum.

Sometimes a chat room and a politician have a lot in common.

Cummins seems to think that it will be the exclusive diesel engine supplier for the next generation 2500/3500 Ram according to this Cummins Press Release.

Ever notice how it's all the new people that come here and INSIST that Cummins won't be in the RAMs anymore, and that Ford owns Cummins? I guess those guys really do know everything.

You can beleve it or not, but the source it came from seems reliable if he saw one in his shop. The Mercedes is NOT the standard diesel as I read the info, just an optional engine available in those models.

I can't see me ever giving up my Cummins, but it may be interesting if there was another option out there. I say let Dodge bring 'em on.

Two choices for us might make Dodge see the light of giving up the Cummins!

A small correction to this topic, the vehicle in question is an '04. The topic author(at the other site) has taken a closer look at the vehicle and provided this newest info.

Most who buy the 2500/3500 are buying the truck for the cummins, the others want the cheapest 2500/3500 they can get. No way will the elcheapo buyers want to pay extra up front for the Mercedes and extra for those imported parts.

I had a 96 Cummins and did not give it up untill I was sitting in a 2001. 5 Cummins and I will not give it up untill I am sitting in a much newer Cummins.
