frontstuffer, the "Ford owns Cummins" story is a bad rumor. Ford did have a 10% stake in Cummins years ago but sold it back to Cummins when Ford got cosy with International, the current author of the 6.0L Powerstroke engine. Cummins has contracted with Dodge to supply the ISBE 6 banger until 2007 for light truck use exclusively. Thats why the Cummins is an option in some of the bigger (F550 & F650) trucks, but not in the F250 & F350's.
