August 24, 2010 | by | 7 Comments

For over 20 years, Cummins has been churning out bullet proof engines designed to shoulder even the heaviest loads. They are true masters of their trade, and the bellowing behemoths they produce will probably outlive you. Want a behind-the-scenes peek into the hallowed ground where these beasts are born? Want no more – just hit it up the video above for a guided tour from Cummins Plant Quality Leader himself, Mike Galarno.

 

Don’t forget to check back with us next week for the final installment of the Biggest Fan series!

 

  • BB

    THE GUY WAS PAID BY DODGE, HE DOES NOT LOOK LIKE A REAL TRUCK MAN DOES.
    THATS WHY FORD IS THE BEST SELLING TRUCK EVER, AND CUMMINS SUCKS I DONT SEE NOT EVEN A HALF OF THOSE OLD ENGINES ON THE ROAD AS I SEE FORD TRUCKS. THE NEW FORD ENGINE IS JUST THE BEST… KEEP MAKING THE SAME DODGE SO WE CAN CONTINUE ENGENEERING BETTER FORD TRUCKS….

  • MR.DODGE

    BB,

    Why doesnt he look like a truck man ?
    I guess I dont look like a truck man either,I wear a suit and tie to work,I am over 6″4,clean shaven ect…Sorry I am not short,obese,bald,toothless and ugly and uneducated..again thats a Ford truck owner….. eg..you said “KEEP MAKING THE SAME DODGE SO WE CAN CONTINUE ENGENEERING BETTER FORD TRUCKS” Whatever Ford does,but I am sure Dodge will “ENGINEER”its Ram to be better than a Ford (ford can keeps its eneneering with all of its misspelling )

    You said “AND CUMMINS SUCKS I DONT SEE NOT EVEN A HALF OF THOSE OLD ENGINES ON THE ROAD AS I SEE FORD TRUCKS” ………………….WHAT ? Are you high on drugs ,drunk or just nutts !!! First off,Ford always sold more trucks because they are cheaper(explains why you see more furds)or you could be like Mr.Magoo and you think you see a Ford but its actually not ! Ford has lower priced trucks..but I see more Dodge’s running around here than Fords..Hey you like the ford gas engines,spark plug that gets stuck in the head ($3000 repair bill)How about Ford’s famous knocking engines !! Fords bad transmissions,electrical problems…

    Furthermore,you said the same Dodge..its an all new truck,new body ect…unlike the Ford that is an old 12 year old style with a new front grille on it…Ford was always lagging behind in trucks,recently they upped their power..but the lower hp Cummins sticks to its doors in performance tests…Where is all of the Ford power/torque ? Wait till Dodge ups it, Ford will be so far in the weeds…your kind of place,you will have lots to smoke !

    RAM x Ford… this rivalry will never end… is healthy… force engineers to work even better. But no way, RAM is RAM … THE BEST!

  • J.A.W

    To MR. DODGE, alright funniest shit ever. you are a new found hero of mine haha. that redneck doesn’t know what he is talking about. And although I am worried about Dodge and Cummins keeping the same power ratings up till 2012 (so I have heard) just wait, BB is it?, till the eight speed automatic transmission comes along in 2012 with a re-tuned 6.7l…. put that in your pipe and smoke it.. along with whatever else your smoking. And considering Dodge hasn’t REALLY been making competitive trucks with GM and Ford since 1981, it makes sense to why Ford and GM take the sales. All Dodge needs to do is keep the Cummins rollin’ in their trucks and everything shall be fine… DODGE4LIFE!

    BB, are you talking about the same Ford that had to sue it’s engine supplier (IH) over the excessively high warranty costs of it’s diesel engines that Ford was installing in their trucks? The same Ford that had to have a judge intervene to get production started and bills payed because of the fued between them and IH, their diesel engine supplier? The same Ford that requires that the whole cab of their trucks be removed in order to change a $2 drain tube on their diesel engined trucks? Yeah right, they’re the bomb. Literally!

  • Ram Tough

    You can find a ford or chevy with a cummins in it at the truck pulls. You’ll never find a powerstroke or duramax in a Dodge. And cummins sucks? What are you drinkin?

  • R A M

    For me nothing compares to the Cummins…
