Ford would not have invested heavily in an all new diesel for 2011 if the plan was just to switch to Cummins power. Cummins has a contract with Dodge for light duty trucks, but medium duty trucks such as a Ford F650/750 can be powered by CAT or Cummins.

If you live in South America, you can have a Cummins powered Ford; http://www.ford.com.br/showroom.asp?...o=2&interna=28

By best friend's girlfriend's sister's brother in law's Aunt's co-worker's dog heard on good authority that Ford does own Cummings. So there, it's gotta be true.

Looks like a **** Volvo cab. As an ex-OTR driver, I hate the look of Volvos. They look like they took their design from the space shuttle or something. Each to his own though.

True story; I saw a new F750 in Calgary with a Cummins paired with an Allison AT.

Dont quote me on this but I read somewhere that dodge almost did use allison trans but they could'nt work out warrenty agreements with GM.

I dont care what anybody says about automatics, I'd love an allison 1000 behind my cummins. Thats probly the only auto I'd consider swaping if I had the chance.

I was just referring to new trucks. Dodge no longer makes trucks. It's Ram now.
