I believe the Cummins engine just reached 30 years of use in pickups. Have you been living under a rock for the last 30 years that you thought Ram was using a "Dodge" I-6 Diesel engine? For better or worse, the trucks have had the Cummins logo on them since 2003, and the word "Cummins" on them for the entirety of the run. How did you not notice? I've never owned a Ford fullsize truck but I know that the word "Powerstroke" has been on their trucks since what, 94?
Also, the word "Dodge" hasn't appeared on Ram trucks since, I think, 2005. The trucks were actually rebranded sometime later...but the word "Dodge" actually does not appear, anywhere that I can find, on my '05.
Sounds as though you feel the RAM should distance itself from the Dodge marquee. I wonder why? Just because something was re branded doesn't make it better or different it's still the same vehicle and company producing it. Examples Chevelle became Malibu which originally was just a trim package, Chevyll became Nova, Corvette was known as Stingray for a while.
