Don that is interesting ,with so many builders going to 'in house ' engines what will become of cummins?
Over the road class 8 trucks are doing the same.
freightliner - mercedes
volvo /mack - volvo
PACCAR might the only one with a selection?
You can still get a Freightliner with a Cummins, though they try REAL hard to steer you out of it
PACCAR (Peterbilt/Kenworth) is the same - you can get a Cummins but they push those PACCAR engines big time. Problem is they won't release their full software to the public so most diagnostics have to be done at the dealer. I don't pay 7 mechanics just to take it back to the dealer, I'll stick with the Cummins as long as I can get it in a truck. Though the Volvos and Macks I have (4 - 2013 Volvos, 3 2014 Volvos, 4 2015 Volvos and 4 2016 MACKS) seem to pretty good so far.
Anything is better than the 10 2010 CATs I have...only 4 stil run :S
Anyways, got WAY off track....
