Okay I'm confused
You may remember my post here, when I stated that Ford made Cummins, and then was told otherwise. Well now you see, I hearing many different things from many different people. Uncle still claims that Ford DOES make Cummins, however, my grandfather says they used to but then sold the company later on, and then my friend's dad says Ford never EVER had anything to do with the Cummins diesel. Can someone give real info and actually back it up?

Everything I found out, Cummins has always been its own company. It started in 1919 in Columbia Indiana.
Ford has never really had anything to do with Cummins. Interntional yes, but thats a different story.

At one point in Cummins history, Ford Motor Co. owned a percentage of Cummins. Why that lead people to believe Ford owned Cummins, I'll never know but that debate has gone on many times over the years here at FTE. Ford has never built any Cummins engine.
Partial excerpt: Dec 15, 1979 - DETROIT Confident of its stratified charge gasoline engine Ford Motor Co is drop ping development of a new diesel Ford said Friday it has decided not to enter into a full agreement with Cummins Engine Co of Columbus Ind.
Partial excerpt: In 1990 Ford told Cummins it could supply the diesel engines for its medium-duty trucks, and it became one of Cummins's largest investors when it received a 10.8 percent stake and a board seat in exchange for a $100 million cash infusion.
