Cummins Owns Ford!!!

I was talking to a friend of my brothers who sits on the board for Cummins. My brother is a CFO CEO POS with a company back east. I was telling him I had a 12 valve and he let it slip THAT CUMMINS HAD BOUGHT MAJORITY IN FORD. (he'd had a few cocktails)
Thought y'all would want to know.

Yeah, and he said they were voiding their contract with Dodge for the Cummins, selling them the 6.0 instead. The Cummins goes into the Fords starting '06.5.

Hard to believe...

Just posted on Dodge and Ford's website:

Included with any purchase of a Cummin(g)s powered truck you get a nice parcel of swampland south west Florida. Hipwaders and 'gator bait not included....
