I broke the redirect to this page that came from the word 'Valvoline' since I find no information here that seems to relate at all. If there is reason for that redirect, a disambiguation page should be created at 'Valvoline'. While not directly pertinent to this article, the 'Valvoline' redirect now points to Ashland, Inc.

[edit] Myth?

Article says: "The 5.9 liter B-series used in the Dodge Ram has proven to be very popular, disproving the myth that diesel engines are not popular with American auto consumers."

No, it doesn't. The set of people who buy pickup trucks is not the same as the set of all American auto consumers. One successful product in a niche market is not enough to disprove a statement about general market conditions.

[edit] Suggest merge of Holset Engineering into Cummins

Cummins has acquired Holset Engineering to make superchargers for Cummins engines, so Holset should now be part of the main Cummins article as a subsidiary. --John Nagle 04:14, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] mention in news article

Asked about Cummins Inc.'s Wikipedia entry, public relations director Mark Land checked it out and found it accurate except for the green coloring on what should be a black corporate logo.[1]

I just saw this and though I'd share it on the talk page. About the only positive statememnt in the article.Bawolff 22:07, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

By the way, Someone else saw the article and changed the logo [2]. Bawolff 22:09, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

Holset in Huddersfield has changed its name to Cummins Turbo Technologies, so technically, there shouldn't be an article on Holset.

[edit] M-series engine stub created

I created ISM M-series engine stub and entered some info. -- Kschang77 06:56, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
