Was browsing the web looking for general Cummins info and discovered that Cummins makes a larger variety of engines than I realized. Did you know that Cummins has engines:<br>* from 55-3,500 HP<br>* from 3.9 litre to 60 litre<br>* 4, 6, 8, 12 and 16 cylinders.

They have their fingers in more than just diesel engines. They also are the parent company for Onan gensets.<br>http://www.onan.com/onan/askOnan/ask...mp;marketId=43<br>did you ever wonder who made the engine in your lincoln welder?<br>http://www.onan.com/onan/onanengines/generatorHome.jsp<br><br>

Dodgeman; of course it will fit. You may have to make a couple of mods tho. Like lengthen the hood, change the front suspension to acommodate the 'slight' extra weight, new clutch, new transmission, tractor weights on the back bumper to stop the truck nosing over etc etc. Oh, don't forget to cash in your 401k etc to pay for all this. The entire bed should be just the right size for the extra diesel tank you will need. ;D

It is also a little known fact that Ford Motor Company actually OWNS Cummins...

Hey Westcoaster, I don't this Hoss fella. Are you telling us that he is a trouble maker, a s*** disturber? Is this a good thing? :

Hoss- well yes Cummins was owned by Ford. They sold it when they were taken over by Yugo. This was the not so smart move. The smart move was that they had their F-series redesigned by the guys who brought you the Yugo Florida ;D<br><br>AlpineRAM
