ZERO % US Content???

I have been trying to decide between a Ford PSD or a Dodge Cummins to replace my GM.

I was driving a 3500 and 2500 when I noticed that the US content on the sticker is 0%. So Chrysler is saying that not ONE part on that truck is manufatured or assembled in the US??

I was used to seeing them say 65% or 70% but 0. You can see for yourself, go to the Dodge website search for a truck on a dealer lot and the look at the window sticker, whats up with that?

I knew they were assembled in Mexico but 0% thats hard to believe???

I can say for sure the Cummins is made in the USA! With the problems Ford is having with the 6.0, I wouldnt think anyone is buying the PSD right now.

The Cummins in our Rams is a Medium Duty Diesel, Ford and Chev have light Duty Diesels.

I think you missed the point. He's saying the Cummins engine is a medium duty engine and the Powerstroke and Duramax are light duty engines. Nothing to do with the trucks their put into.
