Cummins in Ford????????

[96ScreaminStroker]

I heard some rumors up here that they arent doing the 6.4 powerstroke and are going to a cummins instead I dont think this is true but do you know Marc have you heard anything. It would kind of upset me because then there wouldnt be anymore powerstroke genarations

nope, the 6.4 is and international motor. cummins is not gonna put the 5.9 in the dodge anymore, they are changing to the 6.7, which i think is a v-8......but ford will still have an international and dodge will still be a cummins....

6.7L is the same as the 5.9L just stroked to give the extra displacement. And the 6.7L is available already in the cab/chassis Dodge's but is scheduled to be used in regular trucks in 07 models last I heard.

Yeah Marc the 6.7 is still gonna be an inline six. And Ford won't have a cummins until at least 2013 or maybe never...

i doubt ford light duty trucks will ever have a cummins in it from the factory.....ford doesnt even own stock in cummins anymore

[99Smokin73Stroker]

I don't think so either, which is why I said maybe never.....

Well that makes me happy knowing that the powerstroke legend isnt going to die

[99Smokin73Stroker]

I feel that the legendary powerstroke is no longer made, that being the 7.3. I hardly think the 6.0 will ever be considered a legend. Let's hope the new 6.4 becomes the next legendary diesel for Ford.

I think all the above posts are correct and to add to 99stroker's comment about legendary diesels ~>

I think in the era post 7.3... besides old ironsides cummins... the Duramax is the legend in the making. I do hope ford gets its stuff together and actually gets a quality, high powered, #1 product back on the road. All the bells/whistles and what not = nothing when the motor doesn't live up to the rest of the truck. Thank god some of the 6.0's were good, and are definately fast but like I said it's nothing w/o a reliable motor.

As a side note, a stock cummin's in a ford = complete package imo

[99Smokin73Stroker]

Yeah, I agree. From what i've seen the duramax trucks do in pulls and drag racing, they certainly are very capable of huge amounts of power. In fact I have seen more duramaxes run quicker times and pull further on average than powerstrokes. They still haven't matched the Cummins. IMO that's the best diesel engine ever to go in a pickup especially the 94-98 12v's, followed very closely by the 7.3. That may get some frowns, some disagreement. But, how many Fords do you see get Cummins conversions? I have seen a surprising amount in the past year alone, and know a couple of guys who have them first hand and I must say it's impressive. Yet how many Dodges do you see getting a powerstroke or a duramax getting shoehorned in? Once again this is my opinion, and we all know what opinions are like.....:-)
