Cummins repair truck (F-450)?

Saw one last week on the highway, kinda weird seeing a Cummins Roadside repair vehicle being powered by a Navistar?

Yeah I keep seeing those, they've got 6.0L Powerstrokes. What the heck? That is a oxymoron in some sort of a manner!

Those trucks are probably a couple of years old , bought before the introduction of the 4500 Dodge and Sterling Bullet .

Our local cummins dealer has a few older 2nd gens still and a few newer ford f450s. I wanna say the 2nds gens have been turned up a bit by the dealer. I think their ford are 6.0s too. It is kinda weird they have that for a service truck.

Beat me to it. I made darn sure to check the badges, even had my wife read them too, F450 clear as day.

Just imagine all the ambulances powered by ps diesels. You better hope whatever you're riding in it for isn't life-threatening.
