Dodge has a contract with Cummins for a new 6.7L (IIRC) diesel. (And NO, Ford doesn't own Cummins.)

Talk of a Benz diesel in the Dodge has been around as long as the merger. While it is a possibility, Dodge has sold a LOT of trucks due to the Cummins engine, and it may hurt them to switch. Of course I have also heard rumors Ford has looked into adapting a Cummins engine also. We just won't know until something shows up at a dealer.

Dodge with mercedes benz diesel motor
I worked for a dodge dealer until febuary. Dodge owns 51% of Cummins. Ford owns a small portion as an investment. I was told that Dodge would stay with the Cummins because or the "american name recognition". The closest that they have come to mercedes engines is the MDS technology on the Hemi. It was originally developed by Mercedes and then used in the Diamler Chrysler vehicles. I was also told that GM purchases this same system from DC. The diesel in the Jeep liberty is an older mercedes design with the new Bosch Commonrail injection system on it. But even it is not manufactured by Mercedes. It is built by VW Motori in Italy. And no they have nothing to do with Volkswagen.
