You were only able to get a Cummins engine in a truck made by GMC up until 1987, and that was only in heavy duty Class 8 trucks made by GMC (e.g., GMC General, GMC Brigadier, GMC Astro, etc.).
Not the F250, F350, etc. Dodge and Cummins just signed a multi year contract to keep the Cummins in the Dodge trucks.
The Dodge pickup trucks with Cummins engines are diesel turbocharger engines. They are built by the Cummins company and have been used in Dodge Ram trucks since 1989.

Because that car name is for trucks. GMC Trucks is only for trucks, minivans, and SUV. Not for sedans. GMC might have sedans in the future.

No. Cummins engines are an option on Volvo Class 7/8 trucks sold in North America only. Their heavy equipment does not offer them.
The development of Cummins engines and the establishment of the company has nothing to do with Ford. As for using their engines, yes, Ford has used Cummins engines, in some of their medium duty trucks (currently represented by the F650 and F750... the F450 and F550 are also medium duty, but the Cummins engines were never available for those... the heavy duty market, Ford gave up in 1997 and sold to Daimler A.G., who put the trucks into production under the Sterling name.

Ford IS NOT putting Cummins in their trucks. Chrysler Corporation and Cummins Diesel Engines, Inc. just signed a multi-year contract to keep Cummins engines in Dodge Ram Heavy Duty trucks. You can get a Cummins diesel in a Ford F-650 or Ford F-750. The F-250, F-350, F-450, and F-550 all have the Powerstroke diesel engines.
The Ford Motor Company never bought Cummins, Inc. That said, Ford has used Cummins engines in some of its trucks.

The crew cab is a popular feature on many larger pickup trucks. Models that come with crew cabs include the GMC Sierra, the Chevrolet Silverado, and the Dodge Ram.
