					  <link>http://www.turbodieselregister.com/articlelive/articles/287/1/Fluidampr-Joins-Bully-Dog-Race-Team/Page1.html</link>
					  <description><![CDATA[Fluidampr is proud to announce its sponsorship of the Bully Dog Diesel Drag Truck. The 2006 Dodge 5.9L Cummins driven by Jarid Vollmer is a 9 second performance diesel truck that produces over 1,300 hp and 1,450lb/ft of torque on nitrous. Bully Dog, an industry leading manufacturer of diesel performance products, competes in the National Hod Rod Diesel Association's (NHRDA) Pro-Street class, as well as the National Association of Diesel Motorsports' (NADM)Unlimited events. Fluidampr is the official damper of the NADM. &#8220;We are proud to partner with and help contribute to the success of team Bully Dog,&#8221; says Fluidampr marketing manager Keith Horschel. By installing a Fluidampr Performance Diesel damper, Bully Dog will gain an edge on their competition by unleashing lost power and reducing engine wear through quality crankshaft torsional vibration protection. Torsional vibration occurs naturally and is caused by torque spikes slightly twisting the crank during each combustion cycle. When not properly controlled, its effects lead to accelerated main bearing wear, inefficient valve timing, reduced performance, and eventually crankshaft failure. Fluidampr is protecting your engine by replacing inadequate rubber dampers with durable viscous silicone damper technology used in nearly all heavy-duty diesel engines for trucking, agriculture, construction, power generation, rail transportation and by the military to achieve long engine life under intense torque loads. Learn more about Fluidampr at www.fluidampr.com or call (716) 592-1000. Made in the USA. ]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[COLUMBUS, Ind. (Feb. 3, 2010) &#8211; Cummins Inc. today announced a multiyear extension of its current agreement with Chrysler Group LLC. Cummins will supply&#160;6.7-liter Turbo Diesel engines for Ram Heavy Duty pickups and Chassis Cab trucks while continuing to grow its partnership with Chrysler, which began 21 years ago.&#160; Cummins has produced over 1.7 million Cummins Turbo Diesel engines for Dodge&#160; Ram Heavy Duty trucks since 1989. Today, over 80 percent of Ram Heavy Duty truck customers purchase their truck with the legendary Cummins Turbo Diesel. The first Cummins Turbo Diesel was used in the 1989 Dodge Ram, with projected&#160;sales of less than 5,000 engines. Actual sales exceeded 20,000 engines in the first year, signaling to the market that a powerful new combination had been created.&#160; The first Cummins Turbo Diesel was a 5.9 liter at 160 hp (119 kW) and 400 lb-ft (542 N&#8226;m) of torque. Today&#8217;s 6.7-liter Turbo Diesel delivers 350 hp (261 kW) and 650 lb-ft (881 N&#8226;m) of torque. This 118 percent increase in horsepower and 86 percent increase in torque have been achieved while also reducing exhaust&#160;emissions by 90 percent. In 2007, Dodge and Cummins produced the cleanest heavy-duty diesel pickup in the market by meeting U.S Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 2010 emissions levels a full three years in advance. &#8220;Cummins and Chrysler have a long and important history together,&#8221; said Dave Crompton, VP and General Manager, Midrange Engine Business. &#8220;The Chrysler business continues to be a key part of our MidRange engine business. Cummins is proud to supply engines for the award-winning Ram Heavy Duty and to continue working with Chrysler to develop best-in-class products that customers can trust and depend on now and in the future.&#8221; About Cummins.&#160; Cummins Inc., a global power leader, is a corporation of complementary business units that design, manufacture, distribute and service engines and related technologies, including fuel systems, controls, air handling, filtration, emission solutions and electrical power generation systems. Headquartered in Columbus, Indiana, (USA) Cummins serves customers in approximately 190 countries and territories through a network of more than 500 company-owned and independent distributor locations and&#160;approximately 5,200 dealer locations. Cummins reported net income of $428 million on sales of $10.8 billion in 2009. Press releases can be found on the Web at www.cummins.com or everytime.cummins.com.]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[All-new 2010 Ram Heavy Duty Pickup Named Motor Trend &#8220;Truck of the Year&#34; &#160; 

All-new 2010 Ram 2500/3500 Heavy Duty pickups recognized by editors for setting a new benchmark in heavy-duty truck segment 
All-new 2010 Ram Heavy Duty pickup beats the competition in a series of rigorous tests &#160; Auburn Hills, Mich., Dec 10, 2009 &#160;-&#160; The editors of Motor Trend today named the all-new 2010 Ram 2500/3500 Heavy Duty pickups the magazine&#8217;s &#8220;2010 Truck of the Year.&#8221; 
&#8220;To have our all-new 2010 Ram Heavy Duty named Truck of the Year by the editors of Motor Trend really defines how great this new Ram Heavy Duty pickup is,&#8221; said Fred Diaz, President and Chief Executive Officer &#8211; Ram Truck Brand, Chrysler Group LLC. &#8220;The Motor Trend Truck of the Year Award is like a standing ovation for the Chrysler Group designers, engineers and planners who developed this incredible Ram Heavy Duty Truck.&#8221; 
Motor Trend Truck of the Year contenders are evaluated using six criteria, which includes design advancement, engineering excellence, intended function, efficiency, safety and value. To be eligible, a vehicle must have been substantially changed from the previous model. 
&#8220;The 2010 Ram Heavy Duty absolutely nailed the award in terms of our criteria, from the attractive exterior styling, to the plush and quiet cabins, to the tough and capable powertrains, especially the impressive Cummins diesel, which meets 50-state emissions standards without needing expensive after-treatment technology,&#8221; said Angus MacKenzie, Editor-in-Chief, Motor Trend. &#8220;It delivers the capability heavy duty truck users demand, with style and refinement they perhaps did not expect.&#8221;Click below for more details]]></description>

					  <link>http://www.turbodieselregister.com/articlelive/articles/205/1/Chrysler-Splits-Dodge-Brand-Into-Truck-Car-Groups/Page1.html</link>
					  <description><![CDATA[
Press Release posted on the Excite website announcing Chrysler's decision to split the Dodge brand into two groups.&#160; All right gang.&#160; What does this&#160;really mean?&#160; How much longer before the Ram brand is offered for sale much like the Viper brand was (is) for sale?Oct 5, 10:51 AM (ET) By TOM KRISHER DETROIT (AP) - Chrysler's new Italian management has once again shaken up the automaker's executive team, announcing the departure of two recently appointed brand CEOs and splitting the Dodge brand into two groups, one focusing on trucks and the other on cars. The moves, announced Monday, marked the second management shake-up since Fiat Group SpA CEO Sergio Marchionne took control of Chrysler on June 10 when it emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. Peter Fong, president and CEO of the Chrysler brand and the company's top sales executive, and Michael Accavitti, president and CEO of the Dodge brand, abruptly left the company, Fong for personal reasons and Accavitti to pursue other interests, Chrysler said in a statement. Sales of Chrysler Group LLC vehicles, which consist of the Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep brands, are down 39 percent for the first nine months of the year. Chrysler also was caught unprepared for the government's Cash for Clunkers program and had too few small vehicles on dealer lots to benefit much from the rebates. Chrysler sales spokesman Gualberto Ranieri would not comment when asked if the departures were related to Chrysler's sales performance. Chrysler said that it would split the Dodge brand into truck and car groups. The truck group will be led by Fred Diaz Jr., who previously ran the company's Denver business center. The Ram brand consists of the company's new Ram pickup trucks, as well as its commercial vehicles. Diaz also will take over as lead sales executive in the U.S. for the Chrysler Group organization. Vice President of Design Ralph Gilles will take over leadership of the Dodge car brand, which includes minivans, in addition to his current design responsibilities, the company said. The two men replace Accavitti, who resigned to pursue other interests, Chrysler said. Accavitti was appointed to head Dodge by Marchionne in June when Chrysler emerged from Chapter 11. &#34;This reorganization will allow us to protect and develop the unique nature of the product offerings within the Dodge brand,&#34; Marchionne said in a statement. The company also said Fong resigned for personal reasons, and he was replaced by an executive from Fiat, Oliver Francois, as Chrysler brand president and CEO. Francois served as head of the Lancia brand, Chrysler said in a statement. Michael Manley remains as president and CEO of the Jeep division. ]]></description>
