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.

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