its diesel-engine Dodge Ram pickups from Saltillo to St. Louis in a
move that could create new U.S. factory jobs, union officials say.

Thanks for your cherished opinion.

I think that's cool. Good for US jobs.

Always felt right at home spilling tacos on the front seat.


Thanks for the info. Hoot. Good to hear the Cummins/Ram has come back home where it belongs. I am proud and thankful to be an American and buy American when I can. Sounds like more good news for America.

Jobs should have never been in Mexico to begin with! Way to go, Dodge! Bring those jobs back where they belong.


On a side note, a buddy of mine just came back from Oregon in his '04 Hemi. A trip cross country and 8 mpg later, he went straight to the dealer and got a new Cummins. I was in my Duramax, and he jabbed, "Boy, is that thing loud!"

Yea all the brand's V8's seem to be gas guzzlers. Doesn't make a loto f
sense. You would think they would have improved at least 5 mpg by now.
I would like to see V8's regularly getting upper teens to the
twenties by now.

Just did a Michigan delivery yesterday. Got 8.9mpg heading West into the headwinds. That might be the worst fuel mileage ever for my Cummins in the East to Mid-West. 12ft.2in. box but only 36ft. long. Man the wind resistance is a big issue. I've towed longer and heavier trailers with just a little angle in the front and got 11mpg into stronger headwinds. One thing about this trailer. They had a million dollar propane generator built into the front. Made the tongue weight close to 1,900 lbs. Towed like a dream.


You should have seen the back of their 3/4 ton GMC when they hooked it on at delivery. Even after I put their new 1,000 lb. weight distribution bars on for them the back of that truck looked liked an old swayback horse.


Glad I didn't have that guys gasser.

That is good news,glad it may bring more jobs back here,what are they going to do with the plant in Mexico??
