| Quote: | All, be aware there is major talks going on in Mercedes Benz/Daimler cutting out the Cummins Diesel and putting in the smaller MBE 900 series engines (Mercedes Benz) in the Dodge trucks.
Mercedes Benz/Daimler purchased Detroit Diesel after Penske sold his controlling shares. We, I am seeing a lot of the Heavy Duty trucks out of Frieghtliner and Sterling Trucks standard and better pricing with the MBE.
Also, Ford just released a new V6 4.5L PSD being put in a "cabover" chassis that will be introduced into the Expedition in est 2005 and possibly a V4 PSD in the Explorer in 2005.

Don,
Thanks for the G2. I've read about this before but there was no timeline to the release. I guess diesel will dominate and drive thrus will need bigger/better COM systems.
Cheers
