I wish the RAM's were "Assembled" in USA instead of Mexico like my two 98's were in St Louis. But given a choice I prefer my Cummins engine that is Made/Assembled in Columbus, IN.

When researching the Nissan with 5L Cummins V8, I read that the 5L Cummins' CGI block came from Brazil, the Heads from Mexico and the Holset Turbo from England (owned by Cummins). Designed, engineered and assembled in Columbus IN.

Suspect any new model coming out of Columbus will have more international components as Cummins expands worldwide.

You can add the company that developed the CGI metal alloys was German. Holset as acquired by Cummins, I think they were involved with Perkins diesels at one stage. Outside NA , Cummins associated with Industrial and Railway engines built in Pune India/ England. Cummins small Pickup engines are built in China for the Chinese market. Unlike NA, Cummins has no profile in the European truck market, all engines are proprietary.
Has some input in Australia, providing engines for Kenworth, Mack(Optional) and IVECO( Optional for Double B models)

The raw block does come from Brazil for the 6.7. It is machined in Columbus.

Kinda a shocker to some! Like when you tell people their REESE 5er hitch is Made in Mexico or their Curt 5er hitch is Made in China.

LAM leaves St. Louis for Mexico

Also don't forget all those Chrysler dealers that where forced to close during the Chrysler bail out.
