ONLY good thing would be the Allison tranny on the back end of the new 6.9 diesel

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

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.

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.
