Here's a brief history:
* 1989: Dodge introduced the Cummins 5.9L turbo-diesel engine in their Dodge Ram pickups. This was a groundbreaking move, as it offered significantly more power and torque than the gasoline engines available at the time.
* 1994: Ford introduced the Power Stroke diesel engine in their Ford F-Series trucks. This engine was developed by Navistar International.
Therefore, Dodge was the first major automaker to offer a Cummins engine in their vehicles, and the Cummins engine quickly became known for its durability and performance.
