Considering that they have started to install the Mercedes diesel in some of the Thomas Built Buses used in the Charlotte, NC school bus fleet for test purposes (Thomas is a Freightliner subsidiary, Frieghtliner has plants in the Charlotte area...) in place of the Cummins ISB5.9 engines that they have been installing, I wouldn't be surprised if a Cummins replacement in the RAMS was a Detroit badged Mercedes... If you look at the Detroit Desiel website, they have serveral Mercedes engines with Detroit badges on them...

Of course, since there is a Cummins midrange plant just up the road from me that builds the "B" engines, and I like the powerplant, I'm hoping that they stick with Cummins...
