I'm fairly sure that Chrysler and Cummins have worked together on the overall engineering of these trucks for many years. It's not so simple as FCA buying a bunch of Cummins engines and putting them in trucks. The B series engines that Cummins supplies are specifically designed to be used in FCA built trucks, so I can see that both companies have a role in engineering the emission systems used in those trucks.

If they both have role in the engineering, then the finger pointing will never end when a big nasty liability rears it's ugly head.

Also I read that cummins reported the fix will also drop fuel economy.

Thanks Troy. The devil is going to be in the details on this one.

It's going to be interesting on what engineering firm spec'ed out the DPF and SCR for this truck. Right now I say this baby is going to be on Ram. We will see if the paperwork changes my mind.

Much like Fords 6.0. That was Fords baby. They bought it and then they over tuned it against Nav's and their own engineering advice. I could see Fiat getting really pissed off and saying we will go with our own engine. IMHO that would be like going to "new Coke."

This ones going to get interesting.
