This week the boys wanted to discuss how much the industry has pushed diesel truck modifications to a different level. Turbo technology has drastically chaged for the good. Today's chargers are handling more power than ever while delivering better reliability and durability than what was possible just a few years ago. Anthony and Chris discuss how much advancement we've seen, a few fallacies (smaller wheel is bad, bigger is better), and roll into Nick Priegnitz discussing the stock turbo charger of the L5P versus an L5P Stealth STR comparing power, spool, and more!
Anthony and Chris got to thinking after the AMSOIL UCC event, you see these beast trucks competing, but no one talks about what they used to get them there. Diesel trucks modified and created to be towing machines. The boys wanted to discuss building a reliable, bad ass tow rig. Wheter you are towing boats, campers, your race car or truck, the boys put together mods they think make an ultimate tow rig. Enjoy!
Dustin West dropped into the studio to discuss him and Ryan Wehrli of WCFab's week at the Sick Summer 2026. 800 miles of street driving to throw down over a week at 5 different days of drag racin. He recaps the ups, downs, and everything in between! If you're into diesel racing and the stories that come with them, you won't want to miss this episode.
Anthony is joined by Justin Norris of S&S Diesel Motorsport to discuss all things happening at their new facility! They talk everything from the Double-Barrel Cummins Rail, the upcoming 6.7L Ford Fuel Leak Prevention Kit, and all things fuel based. We appreciate Justin taking his time to sit down and talk on the exciting stuff happening over at S&S!
Chris and Anthony discuss something that every new to diesel person should probably hear from others that have been around the block, what you learn from your experiences with modifying diesel trucks. Both have ran the upgrade path on multiple trucks and want to discuss many facets when it comes to upgrading your first diesel truck. The boys touch on turbo sizing, suspension, tires, fuel system sizing, intakes, and much more!
The boys got their hands on one of WCFab's employees(shout out Sergio!) 2024+ L5P that's got quite a bit of goodies on it. We took the truck out and recorded the podcast in real time while testing her oout. What exactly does this 2024+ L5P have going on with it? Here's the list: Stealth Mach 2 Turbo Duramaxtuner ECM Engine & TCM tuning WCFAB STAGE 2 High Flow Bundle and Down Pipe WCFAB Y-Bridge WCFAB Intake Horn WCFAB Coolant Tanks WCFAB Coolant Pipe WCFAB Rear Diff Cover WCFAB Splash Shield WCFAB Traction Bars WCFAB Fuel Filter Housing WCFAB 3/4 Inch Bumper Spacers Fox Shocks Cognito 3 Inch Leveling Kit Axe 22-Inch Wheels on 35s Sergio went all out and the truck looks and drove amazing. Now take a listen to hear what Chris and Anthony had to say!
Myer Stump came and conquered the AMSOIL UCC this year. Myer threw down numbers that are so impressive all of us at the podcast had to double take the stats we were reading. Myer ran ran a 4.903 sec drag time, 3,662!!!! horsepower on the dyno, and hooked to the sled and pulled 355 feet to take home the title at this years event. It's the most overall points accumulated at the event and it is insane how amazing he did. We had a a great time talking with Myer and he breaks down how he put the win all together right here!
We often get a ton of questions regarding what we would do with necessary upgrades for the LML Duramax. We figured we'd bring in one of the Calibrated Power Shop Techs, Nick Evertsen, to answer that question. Nick has been a GM tech and moved around to independent diesel shops to arriving over at Calibrated Power now. He is taking his decades plus amount of expertise to answer the question, 'Top five reliability upgrades for the 2011-2016 6.6L Duramax.' These trucks are now between 10 and 15 years old(insane to think), and we have the best upgrades that will keep your LML running optimally and for the long haul. Enjoy!
