For the last time it's CUMMINS, not cummings, cummer or anything else.

I actually got to work in the Cummins plant in Indiana at my last job. I wrote a small program in REXX for the OS/2 system that monitored and controlled the HVAC system for the entire building. Cool place to work and a lot of stories.

Yes, it's Cummins! Thanks Lanty. Having owned 5 Cummins powered trucks, it's a pet peeve of mine too

John Winslow in Halifax, NC bought one of the Cummins powered deuces. If you are looking to buy one, I'm sure he'll make you a deal on it.

The 400 Cummins worked great in our M915 fleet about the only real problem we had running them for hundreds of thousands of miles was the suitcase water pump and that was pretty easy to fix. I always went as a Class A agent so I could buy parts along the way of our convoys and I spent way more on the Catapillar 16 speed air-shift than I did on the engines.

Cummins to think about it I even had more axle problems than engine ones.

I have one friend who says they are not good , but he has never owned one, I have never heard anything from the flight facility or armory other than that they are/were bullet proof... they dont have any anymore..and just run and run and run,I sure LOVE mine, they are pullers for sure, sure there are other and better engines out there, but these are what we usually play with and they are awesome, in my eyes, another opinion,oh I love my cumdins...sorry...couldnt help that one...its one of the spellins that was missed...

I seem to hear "Cummings" alot too.....Maybe its a Virginia thing, just like nearly everybody who looks at my M715 and says: "Wow, cool Power Wagon!"

Does anyone have an answer for dodgemain? A great thead on bustin chops over Cummins (correct) or Cummings (not correct), but the man asked a good question and one I would like to know the answer to also.
