seen it yesterday

Hi all, The family and I went to Lancaster Sat. and on the way back we stopped in Gettysburg for some ice cream. We were standing along side the rotary when a new Ford F-350 pulled up to go through the intersection. Beautiful truck, Black, 4-door, Diesel 4X4 dually pulling a very large 5th. wheel horse trailer. Or "hersy" trailer as my little girl calls them. I was standing there gauking at it trying to figure out why this truck sounded different than the other ford diesels that I have been around. Then I seen it on the front fender. It had a new CUMMINS badge on it. Just like the ones on the new Dodge trucks. Are they putting the Cummins in the new Fords now? Beind a loyal Ford man, I bought the Dodge for the legendary Cummins Engine, but if they are putting it in the new Fords I may be swayed back to the other side when new truck time rolls around.
Has anyone else seen a ford with a new Cummins or was this some kind of aftermarket conversion?
