if I could get in here and reply to the Cummins question. Actually Dodge owns the rights to the Cummins diesel engine at this point. Ford has tried to buy it from Dodge and has failed. I believe Dodge has all rights until 2015. Ford right now uses the international, but is by far no match for the Cummins. As you can see, I'm a Dodge owner.

I bleed Ford blue, but I have to admit, the Cummins is a better engine.

Ford: Found on Road Dead? J/K I actually love the new 07/08 look of the Ford trucks. And the 500 looks nice too. But if I had to pick a favorite year for Ford it would be late 70's like this one.



We had a 72 Chevy when I was a kid, and I actually inherited it after my step dad passed away, then I sold it to my brother who destroyed it. It was a good truck. I wish I could find one for sale and had the money, I just love those years. Here is one I saw on my way down to the Flat track races last August.



Here is a picture of my old 67 Dodge 4X4 with the PTO winch

Here are a couple of trucks I shot outside at the Keith Urban concert. Nice Ford, and Cool Dodge. Sorry didn't mean to jack this thread and turn it into a truck post.


MMMMMMMM Free Monster drinks.

hmm, better look under the facts BN. Ford may own it, but they cannot use the cummins engine. Why they are using the International engine.
I didnt say ford uses cummins. they own the majority percentage of the company. There is a long contract that has to expire before ford can use cummins. Ford also has a contract with dodge on the engine. Therefore, the reason why ford does not have the cummins. but ill still take the 7.3L powerstroke any day of the week that engine in a ford truck come one. ford trucks are just built so much better on everything past the engine it just makes a great truck. but dodge's are good as well. just not chevy. thats like ridin a giant leaf spring its terible
