I am fully aware of the 6.7 and would love to get one. But I am wondering about down the road. Does Dodge still have the Contract for 08

Since Cummins has contracted to supply a smaller diesel for D/C light pickups and SUV's for 2010 I'm sure they will continue to supply for the 2500/3500

You heard it here first!

I read it in the Wall Street Journal yesterday. Ford bought Cummins and is installing the CTD in the 2008 Ferd. Dodge is gonna use the 3 cylinder Yanmar diesel...and install 4 of them per truck. You can get good mileage by shutting down 3 of them on the highway.

Marco & Bob W have already designed a Smarty program for them.

But they will only run on WVO. (waste veggie oil)

Ford cannot not afford to buy Cummins!! At this point Cummins could, however, afford to buy Ford!!

Thanks to Fords junk bond rating, Cummins can afford to buy Ford!

Buy stock in Cummins now and you will see what I mean
