I was O'Reilly's the other day gettin some oil and a filter and I told the guy behind counter that I needed a wix oil filter for an 07 5.9 dodge cummins and he said, "turbo or non-turbo?". I kinda giggled and and said yes, i specially ordered mine with a turbo.

Guys guy come on! I just bought Cummins....I can also give you a great deal on the Tobin Bridge too!!


Hehe, it is a common rumor. Ford did own some Cummins STOCK in the 90s but Cummins bought it back...and at over $110 a share I bet Ford wishes it could have it back...
