It's in the news.

yes sir. shouldnt change much with the allison behind the duramax though...

 

"A production facility in Baltimore, which produces conventional and hybrid transmissions for pickup trucks and sport utility vehicles, will remain with GM"

 

And they got to keep part of it, and still got nearly as much as DC got for Chrysler. I just don't understand big biz.......

 

yeah GM sold allison and DC sold dodge, and home depot sold 2x4's blah blah blah

nothing is going to change; the allison in the GM pickups is not going anywhere

 

Maybe they will invest their profits into Fords share of Cummings!

OG

 

The Ford having any part of Cummins is a load that I have been hearing sense 90-92 or so. Its all bull. Cummins would never sell out a controling intrest to any one and has been in to good of shape to have any kind of take over. If Ford had amy control they would have paid the fines and taken the Cummins away from dodge the day they got control.

 

But at least now you can buy Craftsman tools to fix it from K-Mart.

 

Lightn up dude! It was a joke! Cummings??

 

Ive heard the same thing about ford owning cummins bla bla. thats why he made a joke about it. when people tell me that im like uh huh, right. Ive heard that since I was a kid. I hope that never happens. if everyone says ford & GM are in trouble how can they buy anything?

 

whatever i wish ford would buy the rights to cummins (but not let their engine people touch it) I would love my 12v in a ford with full four doors

 

Er...... is not the Carlysle Group the same outfit that just bought out Daimler???

And ( fingers crossed) does this mean possibly an Allison behind the glorious Cummins in the planned for 2008 new 4500 & 5500 Dodge cab & chassis trucks??

C'mon, guys, it's a NICE dream!

 

What ? . Nobody bought out Daimler . Cerberus bought Chrysler group from Daimler . Chrysler is going to start selling Chinese cars made by Chery in it's dealerships . Why ? Because once Chery moves into all the dealerships Cerberus sells Chrysler to Chery . D/C sold Chery the machinery from the transmission plant it shut down in Kokomo , IN .

 

Im not following you....?

 

Everybody is selling out to everyone else; you can now buy Craftsmen tools at your local K-Mart store.

It was really disheartening when I went to West Covina Dodge to buy a part and found out that it is now Clippinger Dodge, Chevrolet, Chrysler, Jeep, Hummer, Ford and some weird looking little cars that look like George Jetson would drive.
