Default Say it aint so

I guess I knew it but never realized it, or wanted to for that matter... I never thought I would see these two logos on the same truck:

Ford did buy Cummins just before the contract with Dodge came up for renewal and forced Dodge not to build a true 4dr p/u in the new contract.
They then sold their controling interest and the new owners told Dodge go ahead and build what you want. so now we have quad and mega cabs.

Interesting. Ive been trying to figure out what was right with all these dodge bashers out there saying "Ford owns Cummins." It is still sad

ford never 'owned' cummins. . .they just owned shared in cummins stock. ford sold off it's shared years ago but still buy's ISB's ISC's and ISX's from them for their medium and heavy duty truck segment(F-6,7,&8's)
