Up next Diesel World’s Best of 2024: Top Builds and Innovations Published on August 12, 2024 Author TUCKER HARRIS Share article Facebook 0 Twitter 0 Mail 0 Essential Upgrades: New Diesel Truck Parts for Maximum Performance New Parts Counter 01. XDP Billet Tow & Race Series Flex Plate The XDP billet Tow & Race Series flex plate is an essential upgrade for any modified diesel truck. If your truck is used for racing, sled pulling, or heavy towing and is using an OEM flex plate, upgrading the flex plate is recommended. The increased stress caused by higher horsepower and torque output can cause the OEM flex plate to fail. This typically occurs when the factory flex plate begins to crack around the center where it bolts to the crankshaft. This billet Tow & Race Series flex plate is constructed of forged billet steel for unmatched durability and strength. This flex plate is precision-balanced and SFI 29.3 approved, and is SFI 29.3 certified, and manufactured from billet steel forgings with a black oxide finish for additional corrosion resistance.

PPE 1998.5-2018 5.9L/6.7L Cummins Exhaust Manifold Bolt and Spacer This kit is the perfect upgrade for replacing rusty or broken exhaust manifold bolts on your Cummins 5.9L/6.7L engine. Factory bolts can suffer from fatigue and stretching due to repetitive heat cycles, leading to troublesome exhaust leaks. Each PPE manifold bolt is centerless, ground and rolled with extreme precision, and crafted from Chromoly alloy steel with a tensile strength of 180,000 psi. These bolts are designed to reduce stress concentrations and increase durability. The included spacers help mitigate heat expansion on the bolts, preventing permanent yields. All fasteners feature a black oxide finish for added protection. Upgrade to the PPE exhaust manifold bolt and spacer kit for enhanced reliability and longevity in your Cummins engine.

Dmax Store Max-Flow SubZero Allison Transmission Cooler, 2006-2010 LBZ/LMM The Dmax Store SubZero high flow Allison transmission cooler is purpose built to keep your stock or built transmission running cooler than ever before. With a 483% larger oil capacity than the stock cooler, your transmission will stay cool. If your transmission temperatures are starting to creep up, this is the best way to fix the problem. The DmaxStore SubZero high flow transmission cooler is much bigger than the stock unit. It is 120% thicker and 12% taller. The DmaxStore cooler is a much heavier duty unit than the stock one providing increased cooling efficiency. Not only will this cool better but it will last longer. Featuring a heavy-duty aluminum exterior to prevent corrosion and cracking, you will be able to run this cooler on your truck for many miles without issue. The SubZero cooler is the biggest transmission cooler that fits into the factory position, by utilizing the factory mounts. It takes advantage of the stock lines resulting in a lower chance for leaking while maintaining the OEM fit and finish. Dmax Store www.dmaxstore.com 04.
