They mean diddly squat but at least it is a complete sample. Another way to view it is to look at the number of engines Cummins manufactured for Ram vs how many Isuzu built for GM. After 24 years of manufacturing Cummins built their 2,000,000 engine for Ram. Isuzu started manufacturing the Duramax in 2000 and by May of 2007 they had hit the 1 millionth milestone.

Based on the way I bought my Ford, I think if I wanted a Chevy I would probably buy a Chevy without looking at the Ram and if I wanted a Ram I would probably buy the Ram without looking at Chevy.

Edit: it's interesting that Duramax sales appear to be slipping. In March of this year the 2,000,000th Duramax rolled off the line.

I am confused. You said 24 years with Cummins and 2,000,000'
Isuzu delivered 2000-2007 1,000,000 Duramax
and on edit:
this year 2,000,000 Duramax.
If correct Duramax in 17 years outsold Cummins 24 years?

That's right Isuzu built in 17 years what Cummins has done in 24. The 500,000th 6.7 Powerstroke was installed in a f350, I think, in May of 2014. They should hit 1,000,000 fairly soon.


Edit: the 500,0000 6.7 Powerstroke was installed in a Super Duty chassis September of 2013. I'm surprised they haven't already hit the 1,000,000 milestone.
