Only service parts are being produced for the 5.9, it is no longer in production.

it should still be in production but only in limited numbers for the AG market. . .these are great engines for combines and mineing equipment.

RE: Cummins layoff
That might have been a possibility IF Daimler-Benz still owned Chrysler, but now Cerberus owns Chrysler, so I'm thinkin they will stick with Cummins.
