I tend to agree. America does produce some pretty awesome MFG goods though. Examples would be Cummins engines, Cat engines and equip, JD tractors, EMD locomotives,GE,Boeing, MD, NG planes etc.That is complete BS, I have had many cars, and I like my Lexus the best.Get a clue.
On that one I must beg to differ! More trouble with Cummins engines (and Cummins NW) than I care to even think about. It goes like this:Originally posted by bwalker

service industries are nothing more than parasites that prey off producers.
While that may be true, the fact remains that they would not operate if it where not for industries that produce. This is basic economic theory. You must produce something to have a viable economy.BTW this was meant as a slam to any industry, be it it service or otherwise.Service industries encompass alot my friend.
Hmmm, both examples are heavily into global sourcing except where the labor unions have contracted to keep work here in the U.S.Originally posted by bwalker

Sure your not mixing Cummins up with detroit diesel,lol. We have a couple of Cummins 6bt's at work as well as an old L-10 that wont quit. All have been bullet proof. I have a 6bt in my truck as well that I am very happy with. While I dont pretend to know tons about diesels I have been told by a few people in the know that a cat will outlast a Cummins by a slight margine, but the Cummins is way cheaper to rebuild. They also say the Cummins is easier to increase the HP on cheaply.CAT <----This is your brain
