Where did this "cummings" thing start anyway. Seems like a lot of old timers say it. It just sets me off, and I don't know why, is anyone else this way?
When having a conversation with someone, even strangers and they say it wrong I have to correct them, can't help myself.
I could never be a Cummins parts guy, when someone called asking for parts for a 350 cummings, I would have to be a wise acre and tell them we don't have cummings parts ,only Cummins and hang up. I would get fired.

I'm going to get a huge sticker that takes up my whole tailgate that says:
"There is no G in Cummins!!"

Had to vent, rant over.

 

Drives me nuts to. Some people will never learn.

 

ford owns cummings

 

Maybe they do but they don't own Cummins.

next you will be trying to convince people there is no "U" in peterbilt.

 

There is no cure for ignorance. Just give up and be happy.

 

Yes... but does it annoy you as much as the big japanese Diesel picture that keeps going around and getting posted from time to time

 

folks that call it a cummings are about as bright as those who buy PSD's

 

My last name is Cummings, but my Dodge has a Cummins. I like my name better though.

 

when i worked at autozone a guy came in and asked for "brake pads for a 99 cummins". my smart-butt reply was "your engine has brake pads?" my manager found that amusing. didnt get fired, so i think you'd be able to hang up on people

 

We need some calenders, say the next 6 months worth. We all get to pick
a day when we think the next "ford owns cummins" post will be and "worlds
largest diesel", 1 pick for each post, whoever is closest is the winner.
What do you win? Probably nothing, but it might help take away the pain of these 2 dead horse subjects.

 

Somehow this is the best statement that i have seen ever on this particular topic...

Unless it is a dealer. The ad on my truck, from a Dodge sealer said Cummings. I saw it right after a salesman told me you coluldn't get more power than stock out of a 12v. I asked why most of the pullers had 12v engines and walked out.

But getting all irritated dosen't really do anything...

 

Haha my sig says it all. I still dont understand why people say cummings, do they think the badge on their truck was a typo?

 

hahaha
and why FERD?

well i dont think in any place of the world they say Cummins in so many different ways then in my comunity...

either kinda:
german 0r
spanish or
english

or... all three combined.... im just glad when they dont talk bad about cummins
