Go to the Cummins website and look under frequently asked questions. If this does not convince your friend, go to the Freightliner website. Do a search on the history of them, in there they talk about the Ford/ Cummins debackle.

Good luck.

Go to the link, its their latest 10K. Read the whole thing, NO FORD. Your friend sounds like a troll. Instead of wasting your time, tell him to prove Ford owns Cummins.

I hate to break it to you, friend, but your buddy is right. Ford DOES own Cummins.

NOT!

Go here, lists all principle owners of 5% or more stock. FMR is Fidelity Mutual.

Some looser in a Powerjoke said the same thing.I stopped for breakfast and commented about his F550. I said nice truck, bla bla bla. He told me Ford owns Cummins. My next stop was my local Cummins dealer for an oil filter. I asked the rep the same question. He said flat out NO! Ford doesn't own Cummins, but they do own a bunch of shares.Ford couldn't afford to buy all of Cummins... DC wouldn't let that happen.

Ford doesnt own any shares. They did awhile back but it was only a few shares and Cummins bought them all back.
