Nick’s 2001 Dodge Ram 2500

Tuesday, August 12th, 2008
This is a 2001 Dodge Ram 2500 Sport with a 24V Cummins Turbo Diesel engine. The only performance modification he has made is a Holley Blue Pump. However, Nick hopes to add a 5inch exhaust and chip eventually. Another modification that Nick has made is the Cummins stickers. Rumor has it that Cummins stickers will actually add another 25-50HP just by being on the truck. Maybe we can get Nick to confirm that. Inside the truck is a new deck and 2 - 12 inch kenwood subs with a 900 watt rockford fostgate amp. Nick does all of the modifications and add ons himself, and would like to add a set of towing mirrors and a 2 inch leveling kit before Continue reading

Billi’s Dodge

Monday, August 11th, 2008
Billi Ney only submitted 2 pictures with no information. However, we could not help but post this really cool picture that  you see below. Its a nice truck! And from the looks of it, he has a LOT of fun. We are going to guess that this Dodge is a Diesel judging by the pitch blackness inside the exhaust pipe from the lower picture. Plus, it appears that he has a 5" tip, which would also imply that this is probably a Cummins powered rig. Thanks Billi, and when you get a chance, SEND US MORE INFO!! BTW, nice lights.

Dodge Cummins Camshaft Replacement at DynoMite Diesel

Wednesday, July 30th, 2008
I have been itching to get my camshaft replaced in my 2002 Dodge Cummins ever since I saw the article in Diesel Power magazine. I researched it and made an appointment with DynoMite Diesel in Monroe, WA to get it done. I also needed some better injectors because the ones I was using gave me really bad Idle and I needed to upgrade to something bigger due to my recent twin turbo installation. DynoMite Diesel specializes in injectors and acually hones and balances their own nozzles. I chose their 150HP Injectors.The Camshaft that I chose for this project was from Diesel Dynamics in Nevada. I have only heard good things about their camshaft and their camshafts are new, not regrounds. Another sweet Continue reading

Things to Look for when buying a 94-98 Ford Powerstroke Diesel

Sunday, May 4th, 2008
Things To Look For When Buying A Used PSD Turbo: You might take the air tube off the back of the air filter and look inside of it. If there is dirt build up, that is a very bad sign, so are the turbo fins looking sand blasted or bent. A little oily film is normal since the valve cover breather exits inside the tube. Also, check the shaft outside of the fins for any signs of scuffing. Too much play in the fins so that it hits the shaft is NOT good. Airbox: Check the two bolts holding down the airbox lid. If they are plastic with a square recess, it is a recalled part. The recall is expired, but without the updated lid the risk of Continue reading
