You guys are hilarious.
Who the f cares?
I got a Dodge with a Cummins engine.
A Mercedes in a Dodge wrapper with a Dodge engine.
And a boat with a Chevy small block but it says indmar, so maybe it's not a Chevy???
Chit, worst part is my Arctic cat quad has a Suzuki engine, so does the Acat sled and one mower has a Koehler, the other a Kawasaki....
Must all be junk since they don't have "in house" engines.
Not knocking the Dmax, I'd rock another one of them with pride. Last one was a rocket!
But it's really an Isuzu. Or used to be anyway. Old powder smokes were corn binders.
Not playin Ram mafia here but AnY of the 100s of mfgs that use Cummins diesels in their machines could have chose any engine they wanted. You think Isuzu or GM would have turned them down if they wanted to buy 100,000 engines to run boats, generators, cranes, whatever? Nope
The big C is pretty much the gold standard for light/med duty diesels. Proof is in the numbers.
