U are very correct, hoss. Im pretty sure I read somewhere that Ford bought a few shares of stock from Cummins, but some people take that as, "O Ferd has Cummins now!"

When did Furd divest(sell its shares) of Cummins??? Wasn't it something like 10 years ago almost???? This rumor gets perpetuated by Furd drivers knowing that they've got a substandard diesel in their vehicles!!! Must make them feel important/superior that the maker of their vehicle owns part of the company that makes the engine for yours!!! 
die horse die just given you a hard time big bruno

It's the hope of the die-hard Ford owner that they too may someday have this great engine. Can't blame them for hoping and dreaming.

) tell me yesterday that Ford owns 40% of Cummins . He said his parts guy at the dealership told him so . This is so common that even Cummins has a link on their site disproving the rumor.
