I toured the Cummins mid range plant a couple weeks ago and they are always dispelling rumors like putting a Cummins in a ford.  It's prettying much just wishful thinking by ford owners hoping for a good diesel. And on a side note they will help you with your spelling by correcting and letting you know there is no "g" in Cummins. Stock torque this year is 900 ft lbs with a pretty good rumor that next year it will be 1000 ft lbs! And U.S. dodge owners thought we had problems with the transmissions now.

I have been hearing that for a while. Cummings is a good engine but Cummings had some problems a few years ago.  Remember the cracked blocks on the Dodge.  They cracked right across the freeze plugs.
