Cummins Ford???
I was recently visited by a friend who just purchased his second powerstroke, this one is a F550 C+C. I jokingly asked if he was aware of the problems with the new 6.0s and he replied, Ford switched to a cummins built v8 about 3 months ago and this one is one of the good ones. Is this true? just curious, or are these the problem prone 6.0s I here about??. His other is a 99 or 2000 with 30k on the odo and he said they are on their 6th set of brakes including new rotors every time.
Thanks, Apache

JEEZE, That IS funny!
If THAT'S all the smarter those guys are, it's no WONDER they keep on buying Fords - they simply don't KNOW any better!

Re:Cummins Ford???
I think I ticked him off because I have a first gen CTD and It is the only real diesel and it keeps going. He is a Ford only kinda guy, and thats his preferance, more power to ya.
Have to keep an eye on this one. I think the 6.0 he has is the problem child engine, cant wait to rub it in a little!!!!
Nothin like a little friendly competition :

Ford's new 6.0 Powerstroke is a Navistar engine, just like the previous Powerstrokes.

Except in the reliability department, apparently.

Didn't he say a F550?
Aren't those as well as F450's available with Cummins engines?

Re:Cummins Ford???
Unless Ford sold him a truck modified by www.fordcummins.com he most assuredly doesn't have a Cummins under the hood. Now as far as the V-8 goes...
I have a nice bridge at Lake Havasu I can sell the man

I heard that Ford isn't gonna renew Dodges contract for the Cummins when it expires, in 06 I think it was (If ya can't beat em, buy em & keep em for your self!!)
So is DC gonna start putting Merc diesels in Dodges?
