Only thing with that is GM is probably gonna be sellign the Allison div off.

 

Interestingly enough you can get the Allison tranny behind a 5.9 Cummins in the heavy duty versions of the Ford Super-duty.

Took me for-freaking-ever to find the proof, but here it is. Standard features. https://www.fleet.ford.com/showroom/.../2007-F750.asp

 

almost forgot that ford bought a peice of cummins.. kinda funny though, fords biggest truck is a "dodge" motor with a "chevy" transmission. probably an awesome truck!

 

ARGH.

NO NO NO

Ford does NOT own any part of Cummins engines. They may own a part of Cummins tools, but those are completely unrelated companies.

But yes, In order to offer real engines, Ford went to Cummins and Cat to power their big trucks.

 

ok, yea. well i used to be right..

Thanks for your Email message.

Ford does not own any portion of Cummins Inc.. Currently, the Dodge/Cummins and the Ford/Navistar agreements are set for the next several years, and no announcements have been published that we are aware of, by either company, to change engine suppliers. We would not expect GM to use Cummins diesels in their pickups, since they are affiliated with Detroit Diesel, which is one of Cummins major competitors.

In 1994, Ford purchased 10% share of Cummins stock and currently uses Cummins B5.9 and C8.3 engines in their F-series trucks, larger than F550. Ford uses the Navistar Power Stroke engine in their pickups, that are F550 or under.

However, as of January 1, 1997, Cummins purchased back all of the original shares from Ford, therefore Ford no longer has any direct financial connections with Cummins. However, Ford still purchases some Cummins engines and are considered a very good Cummins customer.
