dang 5 1/2 cylinders, is that one of the multidisplacement engines? you know, that thing have a hemi in it? the next guy that asks that, I'm gonna make suck on my exhaust tip. even the back window(in 6" white letters) says GOT DIESEL?. what a bunch of dummies.

maybe I'll convert my truck to steam when they come a repo my cummings out of it. or maybe a gas turbine. you know that would be cool.

So then I presume that everyone has heard that the "mystery" manufacturer that Cummins will be supplying engines for is Nissan right. Light & Medium Duty Truck magazine reported it in this months issue that a source close to the agreement named Nissan as the partner that was unnamed by Cummins several months ago. The Titan will be receive a V8 Cummins and the smaller Frontier and possibly the Armarda will get smaller displacement 6 cylinder diesels.

A Cummins in a Nissan? Aw Man.

I just got even more inside news on the Mazda/Mercedes 5 1/2 cylinder rotary diesel motor........the first diesel engine EVER to use spark plugs! And I also have it on very good authority that Ford is trying to buy that too!

Evidently you missed the memo, the 6.0L is the new V8 Cummins that Ford has been going to put in their trucks for years now. They just re-badgged it so us Dodge guys with Cummins wouldn't know the "real truth"

I don't know if your post was meant to be sarcastic or what. Have you ever asked a question somebody else may have thought "stupid"?
Yeah,,,,,,, come on guys,,,,,, let's not go too hard on folks,,,,,, remember that some folks are new to these forum boards (88 posts) and haven't had the pleasure of reading these same type of posts pop up every other month or so.

Actually, a reputable authority in the automotive field told me the following:

(1) Cummins recently acquired a majority share in Ford.
(2) Nissan recently acquired a majority share in Cummins.
(3) Daimler Chrysler recently acquired a majority share in Nissan, and is preparing to buy the company out.
(4) So... DC owns Ford.
(5) Cummins is developing a rotary diesel in partnership with Mercedes.
(6) The Cummins/Mercedes 5.3 rotary diesel will be marketed first in full-sized Nissan pickup trucks in 2008.
(7) The same Nissan pickup trucks will be rebadged with Dodge nameplates and given a different front grill - and sold by Dodge dealers in 2008. Robert Bosch Co. has been asked to develop a new rotary injection pump for the new rotary diesel engine... the VP-SUX
(8) The Cummins 5.9L ISB engine will be marketed in full-sized Ford pickup trucks in 2008.
(9) In 2008, Ford pickup trucks will be rebadged Dodge pickup trucks with a different front grill.
(10) Unsold Ford pickup trucks with the Navistar 6.0 engine will be warehoused by the United States government for future disaster relief efforts.
(11) Dr. Z drives a Duramax.

Who is my source? Well, I asked Dr. Z, of course.
