YouTube as a reliable source. That's funny. There are rumors about Toyota talking to Cummins about using their engines in one of their trucks.

If anything, Cummins will own Toyota before Toyota owns Cummins. At least i hope it would work that way....

I heard Toyota was getting the money from Ford to buy Cummins. Since Ford owned Cummins for years they knew it was going to be a good investment. Ford also designed the "B" series engine in the mid 70's but realized the market was not ready for such power and later had their sister company, Cummins, develop it. It was designed to run on snake oil for its higher cetane rating.

Can we have this thread closed? It is absolutely pointless and ridiculous.

Dont forget the rising in popularity of ford owns sterling and they rebadge our trucks with sterling so ford can sell a diesel pickup that works.

You tard Matego, everyone knows that the flash point of snake oil is lower than the ammonium urate and calcium oxalate found in lizard urine. Sheeesh!

Oh, you poor simple half-man

You need to crawl out from under that tin shanty you call a home and get a ed-u-mik-ashun. Bituminous Phosphate extracted with the Haynes-Edwards style processor and added at a 12.472:1 ratio to snake oil will raise the flash point while maintaining a adequate cetane rating and have complete burn properties. Less soot and more power. I am sorry though, I figured it was COMMON knowledge. I have an old "see and say" I can send you... it would be a good start. C is for COW......MOOOOO!
