Stumpled across this.

 

is that a fordcummins.com banner i see in the background

 

Sure looks like it. Those are Ford trucks sitting there. Awaiting heart transplants?

It's a cool pic.

 

What's so cool about that?

I have that many good engines underneath the hood of The Incubator...

 

thats alot of engines, but , as the song goes "one of these things is not like the other"

Can you "spot the not"?

 

haha Theres one 12 Valve

 

...and a few don't have the APS...

 

I think my pulse is up....

 

Yep, looks like contraband to me. We need to seize those obvious counterfeits and place them in storage. Protect the public, if you would.

 

I could help store them...You know, if we split them up & store a couple here & there, they'll be harder to find & therefore we'll be doing the public a service by keeping thos AWFUL cummins off the streets!

 

I've got a couple of vehicles that could use those.

 

and its an old 12v at that.... 89 or 90 motor.... non intercooled.

 

I went over and looked at their web site, interesting information there. Their pricing really isn't that bad considering you're getting a new engine with the computer, starter, alternator, etc. The one thing that was surprising was the letter posted concerning the ownership of Cummins by Ford. Here's what they say:

November 3, 2005
From:
Powermaster
Customer Assistance Center
Cummins, Inc.
Columbus, Indiana, USA
1-800-DIESELS (343-7357)
TO:
FordCummins.com

Thanks for your Email message.

Ford does not own any portion of Cummins Inc.. Currently, the Dodge/Cummins and the Ford/Navistar agreements are set for the next several years, and no announcements have been published that we are aware of, by either company, to change engine suppliers. We would not expect GM to use Cummins diesels in their pickups, since they are affiliated with Detroit Diesel, which is one of Cummins major competitors.

Ford does NOT own any portion of Cummins. In 1994, Ford purchased 10% share of Cummins stock and currently uses Cummins B5.9 and C8.3 engines in their F-series trucks, larger than F550. Ford uses the Navistar Power Stroke engine in their pickups, that are F550 or under.

However, as of January 1, 1997, Cummins purchased back all of the original shares from Ford, therefore Ford no longer has any direct financial connections with Cummins. However, Ford still purchases some Cummins engines and are considered a very good Cummins customer.

HA Wonder what that lonely 12v is doin there

 

That's what I call, "TRUCK ****"...

I'll be on the computer and see something cool like that and say, "Wow". My wife always asks what I'm looking at... I tell her, truck ****...
