This could lend way to turbo ranger conversion kits, along with the usual honda/mazda crew.
As you can figure, the diesel performance market is slow especially this year since about half the big boys are farmers and farms are not doing well for more than one reason. The other half own trucking companies but the whole sport is shrinking IMO.
We never did embrace the dodge truck diesel market which was a mistake. Lots of players in the cummins field.
Well the newer "diesels" from the now "RAM" division of Dodge are no longer Cummins and are I'm sure you know of the FIAT version. Cummins went to their own Motorsports division it seems now with this new Cummins Crate gig they've got going on.
Nissan picked up the Cummins for both the 5.0L engine in the Nissan Titan Diesel new as of 2015 1/2 and the upcoming Nissan Frontier coming with a 2.8L but I dont think that is the Cummins 2.8R in there. I may have to vet that.
