Cummings

not to sure how much of this is correct but as i was talking to a dealer the other day while looking for a new truck he said he heard that Cummings will be stoping all production of semi engines within the next year. anyone heard anything about this? i tried searching the web but found nothing. where Cybergal, she may be able to find somthing on this.i know there are alot of fans of the Cummings out there, personally i like the Detroit's, especially the 60 series. the Volvo VN i driove for my last compmay had a Detroit 60 in i and it lasted 1.5 million miles before giving up and that was due inpart to our inept mechanic.

 

yeah either he was talking about cat and said "CUMMINGS" jes kiding typo earlier, or he may have been talking about the move.

 

cal Detroit what ya want, but i have seen them last longer then most other engines. just because they dont put out 1000 HP, which is just rediculas by they way, doesnt mean there not a good engine.ya want a 1000 hp motor, then by all means throw away yer money on maintenance and fuel. i however will stick with reliability and economy.

 

my Detroit was bumped up to around 435 HP, i was happy with that, and for a truck with over a million miles on it was still gettin 6.5mpg. if i can buy a truck i will get one with a detroit 60 in it.
please dont think i am raggin on anyone in here for there choice. i am not. my opinon does not meam i am right and everyone else is wrong.we all have different choices.

the one thing i like about Detroit is the parts are more readily available, atleast out here in oregon, plus a littel cheaper.
