BANG ON! The "B" was a development of the Consolidated Diesel Corporation, jointly owned by Cummins and Case Corp with each holding 50% of CDC.
To take this thought process one step beyond... The development of the new "B" series (6.7L) engines dates back to the mid/late 90's and at that time was a joint project of Cummins, Case Corp AND NewHolland. This was before the Fiat buyout of Case and it's merging with NH. That's how long that engine has been in the pipe. At that time I think they called the project the "European Engine Alliance" or EEC. What's more I think one will notice that most of the engines in the red and blue tractors both carry the same specs as the "new" Cummins engines and displace 4.5L and 6.7L for the 4 cylinder and 6 cylinder engines respectively. Seems to me that those engines have been on the move since late '04, and I haven't heard tell of any problems with them to date... so unless they bugger the fuel system/electronic engine controls on them when they put them in a Dodge truck, I don't see that there should be many problems with them other than that they're likely to burn more fuel. That's true of any of the new engines that meet the new emmissions regs. Makes a lot of sense. Reduce emmissions by burning more dinosaurs......

Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
