Is It True

[DGamelin]

I've been told by more than a couple of people that the new cummings (Third generation) is being made in china. Could anybody tell me if there is any truth in this. I have been looking for a newer truck.

Yes, it is possbile the CUMMINGS could be made in China... However, Dodge is still using CUMMINS engines so it doesn't matter...



Not only that, Ford owns CUMMINGS!

 

[DGamelin]

I owen a truck & tractor repair shop I do like the cummins, I don't like chines tractors or a truck with them.

Ford only owens 20% of cummins, they sold just enough for retooling.

Ford doesn't own any percentage of Cummins. Fords does own 100% of Cummings.



The 5. 9 Cummins is built in Columbus, Indiana, United States of America.

 

[BILLUA]

Ford does own CUMMINGS, not CUMMINS...



No, ya'll know I was Just razing with my reply ... It grates the hell out of me when people call it a CUMMINGS :-laf

 

[rbattelle]

Cummins has plants in China. I think I read that they do make the B-series there. HOWEVER, they only make engines for the Chinese market and don't import them to the US. Indeed our engines are assembled in Columbus.

Why I should've invested in Cummins' stock back in April.

Who DOESN'T have a plant in China!? And Mexico, too!

I think a good number of our Dodge trucks are assembled in Sautillo, Mexico...



... John (owner of the 'Beast')

 

[wneubauer]

All the heavy duty Dodges are assembled in Mexico. I think the Hemi engines may be built there as well... .

 

[JApol]

When I was waiting for my 02 gasser to get delivered it was coming from Mexico. The dealer still showed awaiting shipment when it arrived on his lot.

Here's the latest from Cummins Shareholders meeting in May 2005



Cummins strong partnership with DaimlerChrysler. Cummins is the exclusive supplier of diesel engines for the Dodge Ram pickup truck, with shipments in 2004 of about 154,000 engines produced at the Company's MidRange Engine Plant in Walesboro, Ind. Solso said 2005 sales to DaimlerChrysler are expected to exceed last year's record volume, aided by the introduction of Dodge's new "Megacab" Ram later this summer.

Just the facts....

Let me put some things to rest once and for all.



1) Ford owns Cummings.

2) Cummings are made in China.

3) Everyone gets at least 30 mpg -- if you don't something's wrong.

4) The G56 is a Getrag.

5) The oil pressure gauge is a true reading -- you can trust it.

6) The A/C is colder on the passenger side.



and last but not least.....



7) The A/C compressor should never ever ever ever clunk.



Ok -- What did I miss?

 

[klenger]

Ok -- What did I miss?

8) Diesel oil never turns black.

9) The 2500 can easily tow a 35' 5er. (dealer info)

 

[67guzzler]

Good Ones!!! #8 can also add never turns black for a least 3000 miles on a 3rd gen.

 

[05mxdiesel]

#9. You can stack two chips and have 650 hp.

#10. The sheetmetal is like rubbermaid, will never dent.

 

[Cattletrkr]

11. Launch shudder is ALWAYS caused by axle wrap.

12. Launch shudder is ALWAYS caused by driveline angles.
