It could of been 10 years ago, you kinda loose track of time as you get older. I ran to the auto parts store with my son yesterday. He said look at that old truck, I looked and it was a 79 ford. Then as I thought about it, it's 27 years old. They sure don't seem that old to me, I remember when they were new. Anyway, I know I had read in ford world that ford had bought into cummings, I guess 10 years ago ha ha.

And by the way, Cummins wasn't in the running, either.
If Ford really owned Cummins, and didn't disclose it to the public, they would be in REALLY big trouble with the Securities & Exchange Commission. Some (all?) of the Ford officers would go to jail for doing something like that. In a publicly held corporation, which Ford is, to not disclose ownership like that is a crime.

Cummins was developing a v series diesel for Ford Motor (a 5.5 L to be exact). Cummins contract with Chrysler was for straight series diesel only. The program was scraped after several vibration issues were unable to be resolved.
