......There are no stupid questions, only stupid people..type of deal wtih ford people at times.....The people out here swear by ford, but they usually end up with a chevy or GMC because their ford is in the shop, you would think that might say something...people are dense. So why bother at times...

Wait a second...

Seriously- I thought that International-Harvester and Ford were the same?

Isn't Navistar part of International-Harvester? I know that Navistar is a division of Ford- isn't IH owned by Ford too?

Or are Navistar and IH totally seperate?

Navistar is not a division of Ford. Navistar and IH are the same thing, just a name change i believe.

Maybe Cummins should own both Ford and GM.
That way they could produce trucks the same way that they rate gasoline;
Premium Grade= Dodge
Regular/ Unleaded = Ford
Cheap/ Unleaded= Chevy
That way if you had alot of money then you could have a Dodge like we do.
If you were kinda poor you could afford a Ford.
And if you just needed something cheap to drive you had a Chevy

That sounds like something they do in a swimming pool wearing little bug eye'd goggles.

It's NOT just the Ford salesmen,
I stopped by the Dodge dealer to get some codes cleared last Jan while I was having Tranny issues and was told by one of the "Crack" Salesmen
(or was that on crack, I can never keep that straight) that the new 06 Dodge would have a MB diesel and an Allison trans as Ford had bought Cummins.
