I know this will tick off the Cummins loyalists, but this could happen. Read my blog here.

as long as it will do as much as the ctd or better and handle the abuse, along with the towing mileage, then it doesnt matter to me

That's a heavy engine .... 1400 pounds?  Wow, I can see why those numbers are so nice now.

I think Dodge has a lot of brand loyalty due to the availability of the Cummins itself. But it seems like there are no "sacred cows" under Fiat management. I hope the Cummins sticks around for a while, but if this were to show up under the hood of the Ram with 500 hp and 875 lb./ft., I wouldn't argue.

here's the question if Ram would pull out the cummins & stick this in where would cummins go? do ppl buy dodge/ram cummins for the truck or the motor cause if it ended in a ford or chevy or even a yota what?

i would figure they would go with a mercadies benz diesel .. the mbe3000 is what they put in freightliners and they are very reliable
