Yea Ive seen the apparently the real cummins factory is in Mexico and the exact look a like is in China we had a private school bring in a couple of buses that were under warranty. They looked just like the real deal cummins called up cummins for parts and told us the engine numbers don't exist couldn't help us and the school was stuck with this gear that's under warranty but not they got fleeced big time.

This is one I saw at the wreckers a while ago, imagine there would have been a strange grinding sound and weird brakes, but they do appear to have been able to ignore this for sometime.

I instantly spotted the calipers, only ford have shit like that!

I was thinking how could a ford owner afford DBA rotors? Maybe this could explain it, could only afford a set for the life of the car?
