dang 5 1/2 cylinders, is that one of the multidisplacement engines? you know, that thing have a hemi in it? the next guy that asks that, I'm gonna make suck on my exhaust tip. even the back window(in 6" white letters) says GOT DIESEL?. what a bunch of dummies.

maybe I'll convert my truck to steam when they come a repo my cummings out of it. or maybe a gas turbine. you know that would be cool.

 

So then I presume that everyone has heard that the "mystery" manufacturer that Cummins will be supplying engines for is Nissan right. Light & Medium Duty Truck magazine reported it in this months issue that a source close to the agreement named Nissan as the partner that was unnamed by Cummins several months ago. The Titan will be receive a V8 Cummins and the smaller Frontier and possibly the Armarda will get smaller displacement 6 cylinder diesels.

A Cummins in a Nissan? Aw Man.

 

****, sorry I must remember my language. It will not happen again. I promise.


I thought yugo was making diesels for nissan and honda was getting detroit 53 series to put in the 4X4 version of the insight?

 

I think we should ban Cummings posts.

 

yeah..especially when they spell it Cummings

 

I hate when that happens...

 

I just got even more inside news on the Mazda/Mercedes 5 1/2 cylinder rotary diesel motor........the first diesel engine EVER to use spark plugs! And I also have it on very good authority that Ford is trying to buy that too!

 

i used my secret spy decoder ring from my box of fruitloops to read the ford website, they already have a 5 1/2 cylinder diesel. Its call a powerstroke 6.0L

 

Ain't that the truth!

 

Evidently you missed the memo, the 6.0L is the new V8 Cummins that Ford has been going to put in their trucks for years now. They just re-badgged it so us Dodge guys with Cummins wouldn't know the "real truth"

 

I KNOW!
we need to call in an expert on this.

Maybe she can do the episode in the same outfit that FHM had her in to do the Mentos bomb!

 

Yeah,,,,,,, come on guys,,,,,, let's not go too hard on folks,,,,,, remember that some folks are new to these forum boards (88 posts) and haven't had the pleasure of reading these same type of posts pop up every other month or so.

 

my wife now pays attention to me when I watch mythbusters, because she overheard some comment I made when I didnt think she was in the room during the show. oops. i just hate censorship, especially from the spouse.

 

I'm surpised they could show that on Mythbusters. Not that I'm complaining.

 

Actually, a reputable authority in the automotive field told me the following:

(1) Cummins recently acquired a majority share in Ford.
(2) Nissan recently acquired a majority share in Cummins.
(3) Daimler Chrysler recently acquired a majority share in Nissan, and is preparing to buy the company out.
(4) So... DC owns Ford.
(5) Cummins is developing a rotary diesel in partnership with Mercedes.
(6) The Cummins/Mercedes 5.3 rotary diesel will be marketed first in full-sized Nissan pickup trucks in 2008.
(7) The same Nissan pickup trucks will be rebadged with Dodge nameplates and given a different front grill - and sold by Dodge dealers in 2008. Robert Bosch Co. has been asked to develop a new rotary injection pump for the new rotary diesel engine... the VP-SUX
(8) The Cummins 5.9L ISB engine will be marketed in full-sized Ford pickup trucks in 2008.
(9) In 2008, Ford pickup trucks will be rebadged Dodge pickup trucks with a different front grill.
(10) Unsold Ford pickup trucks with the Navistar 6.0 engine will be warehoused by the United States government for future disaster relief efforts.
(11) Dr. Z drives a Duramax.

Who is my source? Well, I asked Dr. Z, of course.
