Anybody who thinks Ford is partnering with Cummins at all is either dreaming or sadly misinformed. I can't believe that even eleven years after Cummins bought its stock back people are still thinking Ford and Cummins are in cahoots. If you want a Cummins powered Super Duty, get an F-650!! I'm not directing this toward anybody in particular, but I hate when people constantly spread rumors about Ford and Cummins, Ford and Caterpillar, Toyota and Caterpillar et cetera. Especially when they're strong in their convictions. That's when it gets irritating. So many people haven't a clue!! Sorry for the rant. Haven't posted in a while! Keep on truckin' fellas.
Cummins and FORD F250 has been on sale for a while!
Actually you can:
click on the pick ups tab, then click on the f250 and then the performance tab and see the engine options. It's called MAXPOWER instead of powerstroke.
Ford and Cummins will never be a reality. Ford has had long term contracts with Navistar, and has been working on an in house diesel. The ONLY time Ford has ever had any direct involvement with Cummins, was the brief period of time in which Ford bought and sold some Cummins stock.
ford and navistar are on the outs since ford has announced that they are going to use an inhouse emgin for the diesel. there is a lawsuit going on about it. it would be very very weise for ford to stop using navistar, they have nothing but problems every time they come out with a new one.

Ford also is developing 5.8-liter and 6.2-liter gasoline V-8s for its pickups, big SUVs and Mustang sports coupe. The name of the program has changed from Hurricane to Boss.
Theyre bring back the 351 aye? Hopefully its true becuase that would be really kool. And hopefully that Cylinder Deactivation wont be as much of a flop as the dodge MSD.

It already is reality, just look at 550 and up, with a cat for a upgrade. Although I don't think it will ever happen to the 250-450, never say never in the auto industry. there is even a company out there that will fit a cummings in place of your PSD and DMD. and from what I have read is doing very well doing it. The cummings is a great motor, to bad Dodge can't back it with a good trany.
hey, ford and navistar are going to cort, i am sure ford is smart enough to have a clause in the contract that they can get out at any time. the reason they are in court is cause ford has said that they are going to use an in-house engin after navistar began developing one, in point they may have not even had a contranct with navistar to build the engin untill after they designed and developed one. it will be one of the smartest things ford ever did if they got rid of navistar.

I disagree. Ford/Nav have produced millions of great vehicles. All at a very profitable curve for both companies.
Just because Ford decides it needs to re-tune Nav's fuel systems, to keep up with the Jone's. Doesn't mean it's Nav's fault.
The newer EGR/DPF Diesel Engines are all having problems. Dura Maxx's have been known to eat very expensive Inj's also. Cummins is having problems meeting the EPA requirements and keeping it's advertised HP/TQ numbers.
Only time will tell how Fords (Rover) diesel engine will do. Hopefully all will be well.

Could not have said it better... So frustrating that so many people are uninformed... The cummins angle is so early-mid 90's... It's the year 2008 people!!! It' ain't happening.
