Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Cummins and FoMoCo

[Turbo Terry]

Everyone one on TDR knows that Ford does not own Cummins. Maybe 10 percent 10-15 years ago. Anyway I need something I can print out to take to work to make some fellow workers understand. What you got? thanks

The Cummins website use to have a disclaimer stating the fact that Ford does not own any part of Cummins. IIRC it was about a paragraph long. Not sure if it is still there or not but it's not hard to check.

Good luck.



I tried the same thing with a guy I know that works at the local Ford dealer, and he still didn't believe me. I guess they do a thorough job brainwashing the guys that actually work at the dealerships.

They just wish they could own a part of Cummins. Maybe it'd make the Powersmoke run better if it has some Cummins blood in it:-laf

One of my coworkers came back from the Auto Show in Minneapolis with the same line of meadow muffins, got it from a sales droid in the Ford booth. He now stands corrected.

I don't agree, why contaminate perfectly good Cummins blood with that powerJOKE stuff.

Well the 2 mechs at work stand corrected. Would not Ford put Cummins engines in their trucks if they owned it. Duh lets see . Oh good idea. Idiots

 

[Simplysmn]

Thats just like asking a Bowtie buy why he drives or would even buy a crappy duracrap same answer they look cool

You guys are all missing the point. The company that the ford guys think they own is not cummins it is the elusive cummings!!!
