So read a comment on fb today. Is it true dodge lost its contract with Cummins to Toyota? Wtf I remember seeing Toyota coming into the diesel industry, but with Cummins?

No dodge didn't lose a contract with Cummins, they just chose not to sign another one for the 5L v8 in the 1/2tons.

And why would TOYOTA sign with CUMMINS when they already make a full lineup of diesel engines under the HINO name? I guess this is sort of like how FORD owns CUMMINgS, and is going to switch over to them next year.

Hmmmm didn't know any of this as I only keep up with duramax news. Just happened to see that. I do remember hearing about the diesel possibly coming to the 1/2 tons in dodge. Rumor also has it a diesel for the Colorado. Diesels are really starting to pick up more and more in everyday vehicles.

how would dodge sell an HD truck if it didn't have the Cummins name on the side of it? Nissan is gonna get the 5.0l Cummins for there titan, but there's also a rumor goin around that Toyota may opt for it also, but that's just a rumor as far as I know. Dodge is puttin the 3ish liter v6 diesel out of the jeep Cherokee in there 1/2 ton, can't remember the name, vm motori or some shit like that makes it. Believe its the same company makin the diesel that may go into the Colorado.

I thought the same thing about hino. And I heard from someone whose father works at Toyota they released that info to them they would start having a v style cummins. But this girl who told me also lies for no reason half the time haha.

I wish pickups were like trucks and you could pick the motor and trans you want. put a cummins in a chev with an Alli behind it or a cummins in a ford with a 6 speed behind it. too bad it wasn't like that. if it was I can tell you I would have a Cummins in a CCLB chev with a 6 speed manual
