My dad bought a 2006 F350 powerstroke and while he was at the dealer two guys that worked there told him the ford owned cummins is this true

 

No No No No No No No No

Ford does NOT own Cummins or any part of it.

I would probably run away from the dealership and the people who work there that told you that

 

 

Is this a joke? OK - I'll bite - NO - Ferd does NOT own Cummins.

From the Cummins website. Look at the third bullet down on this page. http://www.cummins.com/cmi/content.j...x=4&index=3#Q2

THEN go back to that dealer and make a $100 bet with those goofy salesmen, show them this site, and collect your hundred bucks. PM me so I can send you my address so you can send me my $50 cut :-)

 

How come its always Ford guys saying this?

 

wishful thinking on the part of the ford guys

 

Thanks for the info guys now I can shut my dad up about it. And any one else that ask me.

 

Hmm....I wonder?

 

Absolutely!!!

 

No. Ford does not own Cummins. Ford owns CumminGs. BIG difference.

 

I was under the impression that Ford did indead own about 10% stock in Cummins back in the early 90s but sold the stock off a while ago.


But now they own Krispy Kream...

 

I find it QUITE odd that you hear Ford guys brag about how Ford owns CumminGs, but you never hear a Dodge guy talking about how Dodge owns International

Certainly, the international is a better engine, or Ford wouldn't use it, right?

 

because they're stupid.

Even some of that information isn't correct. DC owns Detroit Diesel now, GM ditch it a few years ago to the Penske group.
