Aren't those Dodges gas?????

I thought teh Craftsman series were gas rigs... ... is Ford running in a diesel competition?

 

[jrobinson2]

Its the same series all gassers 355 cid, the powerstroke thing is a sponsorship deal only, no diesel engines

Thanks------I guess they wouldn't want to have a Diesel race as there would only be one engine winning... .

Win? Only one would finish!

It's a smart marketing idea that they have going though isn't it? If it fooled some of our members who are wise in the diesel world(I'd like to think a major majority have "common diesel sense") , think what some "back woods" minds are thinking... .



"That there truk got them a Powr Strokee Dezul!"







My hats off for the idea,

Right on -

And as small minded as a lot of us are - naming something Power Stroke was very smart. They stole the word Power from Dodge and meanwhile DC refuse's to reintroduce the Power Wagon Nameplate! Amazing - simply amazing!

Dodges marketing strategy:-laf they wont even mention Cummins is it very rare. they dont get it. if dodge stopped putting the cummins in their trucks dodge heavy duty would not sell at all.

Dodge is the only manufacturer who proudly displays their diesel manufacturer with a nameplate on the fender!

Amen,the other two use names like "power-stroke" or "dura-max",Dodge still uses Cummins Turbo Diesel. The Cummins name sells itself. Don't need no stupid nicknames. I guess the brand X'rs need an important sounding name,like when Homer Simpson changed his name to "Max Power" . Do you guys remember what that "Power-Wagon" had for an engine,I think it was yellow . I would like to see them produce it but with a high horse 5. 9 or mabe even a 8. 3 ... Doug
