hecho de Mexico??!!

Does anyone have a rundown of what parts on the new Dodgeo's are made in Mexico? Is the Cummins made in Mexico? Are any components of the Cummins made in Mexico? I am looking for components to convert my 1977 Ford to Cummins power and would like to know what years the Cummins motors were manufactured in Mexico so I can keep my American truck all American (North America isn't close enough I guess). I am looking at buying a new '04 HPCR off ebay.

Dodge fell of the list of trucks I would consider for purchase when they started building them south of the border. As did Chevy with the Duramax. It's a sad state of affairs. I would hope that the major components of the truck are at least built here. I have a VW de Mexico Jetta TDI-the only diesel car offered in the US at the time (circa 2000). I am still waiting for a US-built diesel auto, the CRD Liberty is a little too cartoonish (I bet Roger Rabbit has one) for my taste.

viva la Mexico!
