We reached out to a number of parts suppliers and asked what was flying off their shelves–the stuff that people were actually buying. The idea is that if other enthusiasts are buying it, you might need it too! Not surprisingly, we received a mix of replies and the product spectrum more or less ran the gambit. Most of the pieces we were told were moving could be classified as “replacement upgrades;” these parts that are stock–only better. Upgraded transmission parts, filters, turbos, and fuel systems were all at the top of the list, with items like complete transmissions also being included, as folks are finally getting the time to undertake such projects. So without further ado, let’s look at what’s the market is talking about! Industrial Injection 6.7L Cummins CP4 to CP3 Conversion Kit Subscribe Our Weekly Newsletter The Industrial Injection 6.7L Cummins CP4 to CP3 conversion kit is a great way to increase the reliability and performance of the fuel system in your 2019+ 6.7L Cummins. There’s no tuning needed, our CP3 Conversion Kit is a direct replacement for the factory CP4 and will not cause check engine lights. No need to spend extra money on custom tuning or programmers, our kit works with the factory tuning. It’s also emissions compliant! Our CP3 Conversion Kit has been designed to be used with all of the factory emissions equipment. Your truck will run as if it was from the factory. The CP3 fuel pump is proven to have longevity and to be reliable in performance applications and the CP4 has known failure issues that cannot be remedied. These issues, if they occur, can cause damage to other major fuel system components. To help increase rail pressure when fueling to higher rpms we have also designed these pumps with our industry leading 10mm stroker shaft. Industrial Injection 800.955.0476 industrialinjection.com Thunder Series Single Turbo Kits: Available for 5.9L and 6.7L Cummins from 2003-2018 The Thunder 330 is Industrial’s latest effort to achieve performance perfection. The Thunder 330 was designed to handle multiple fueling upgrades and comes equipped with an extended tip 62mm FMW compressor wheel and 6 pad 360-degree thrust bearing. The Thunder 330 utilizes the 74mm turbine wheel and has an appealing compressor housing. The Thunder 330 uses a .80 A/R exhaust housing in which we modify the angle of the exhaust nozzle, maximize the wastegate ports, and enlarge the wastegate chamber for full wastegate travel. The Thunder 330 can support over 600hp and is the best all-round performance turbo on the market. Industrial Injection 800.955.0476 industrialinjection.com “Keeping the 48RE Alive and Well” Goerend Billet 48RE Pump gears With Chrysler Reman pumps no longer available and full transmission cores becoming harder to find. When other aftermarket pump gear options did not meet our quality and tolerance standards, we partnered with Boundary Racing Pumps. They’re experts in their field, and designed a 48RE pump gear set that not only hold the tight clearances needed to maintain consistent pressures, but also flow up to 15% more volume than stock gears. Boundary Tough-Goerend tested-48RE pump gears come in serial numbered, double heat-treated chromoly steel that will not wear like powdered-metal process gears.

Banks Power 800.601.8072 bankspower.com Dieselsite Heavy-Duty Diesel Transmission: 1999-2003 Ford 4R100 F250 – F550 and Excursion 7.3L Transmissions After purchasing Factory Tech Transmissions in April of 2012, DieselSite spent the last couple years setting up the lathes and mills to cut special parts, installing blast cabinets, paint booths, and a state of the art $250,000 dynamometer powered by BlueReach Automation. They can duplicate actual driving and load conditions in a truck, including all upshifts and downshifts. The benefits of a Dieselsite transmission include a transmission designed for towing performance, improved shift feel and power transfer to the rear wheels, as well as increased durability past OEM units including clutch materials that can handle elevated temperatures without burning. Every unit is fully tested in their own transmission dynamometer – No DOA units! Dieselsite 888.414.3457 dieselsite.com PPE Premium High Efficiency Oil Filter Offering more than double the surface area of a conventional oil filter, the PPE Premium High-Efficiency Oil Filter is just what your engine oil needs to stay cleaner, longer. Specially engineered, accordion-folded nylon and fiberglass media achieves superior filtration to catch and hold minute dirt and debris down to 5 microns. A typical OEM-quality oil filter removes about 72% of particles in 8 to 10 micron range. With twice the surface area, twice the filtration and twice the filter life of conventional filters, the PPE Premium High-Efficiency Oil Filter is your number one choice for superior oil filter performance. PPE Diesel 714.985.4825 ppediesel.com Bullet Proof Diesel 6.0L Heavy Duty Engine Oil Cooler The Heavy-Duty version of cooler is the right cooler for all 6.0L diesel trucks that work and work hard. This means that if you have a DRW F350, F450 or F550 – you are going to want this heavy duty option. If you have an F250 or F350 (Single Rear Wheel) and you tow heavy or often with your truck, then this is the best option for you. Bulletproof Diesel 480.247.2331 bulletproofdiesel.com Pacific Performance Engineering Deep Capacity Cast Aluminum L5P Oil Pan During regular oil changes, the stock GM pan retains over half a quart of the dirtiest, heaviest part of the oil which settles to the bottom of the valley of the stock pan. This old oil is trapped in the valley of the stock pan and never drains out. It immediately contaminates your fresh oil. PPE solves that filthy problem with a flat, angled bottom, designed for more complete drainage. The PPE pan’s higher volume holds an additional two quarts of oil. Your engine’s fluid capacity is increased, as well as its thermal stamina, which creates a longer service life. Engine temperatures are further reduced because the PPE L5P Oil Pan is constructed of thick, cast aluminum alloy, designed with internal ribs that add strength and rigidity. PPE Diesel 714.985.4825 ppediesel.com PPE Stage 3 Forged Tie-Rods These tie rods are overkill for some, but when it comes to steering components, failure is not an option. These tie rod assemblies are the best of the best. Featuring 1.5-in wide forged tie rod, massive 2 1/3-in ball joints and a much larger and stronger, adjustable inner ball joint. Outer tie rod end contains a spring-loaded gusher bearing that maintains constant pressure. PPE Diesel 714.985.4825 ppediesel.com Pacific Performance Engineering Bar and Plate Transmission Coolers Excess heat is the #1 killer of transmissions. For individuals who tow, race or simply run their diesel hard, proper cooling of your transmission fluid is one of the most important things that you can do to increase the life of your transmission. When the mainline pressure is increased with upgrades such as a high-performance transmission kit, your transmission generates additional heat. A PPE Performance Transmission Cooler is critical in such situations. PPE’s Performance Transmission Cooler is a direct bolt-on replacement part that lowers the fluid temperatures up to an additional 20 to 30 degrees over the stock unit and comes with a lifetime warranty. PPE Diesel 714.985.4825 ppediesel.com Edge Products The Next Generation Insight CTS3 Edge is proud of the innovation, time, and engineering effort that has been invested in taking performance monitoring and digital gauges to a whole new level.

LMC Truck 800.562.8782 lmctruck.com Strictly Diesel 2017-2019 6.7L Ford Trans Cooler Kit This cooler was tested for thousands of miles, both heavily loaded and unloaded, driving at highway speeds and in stop-and-go traffic. Long gone are the 210°F+ (unloaded) and 240°F+ (loaded) temps. Hammering on the truck while pulling an 18,000-lb, 48-ft triple axle race trailer across the Arizona desert in August, the highest temperature we could manage was 220°F…and the temperature dropped noticeably as soon as we quit abusing the truck! Simply put, the temperature drops are fantastic! This kit retains the OEM cooler, adding this liquid to air heat exchanger after the liquid to liquid unit. The cooler adds approximately 1-1.5 quarts of fluid capacity to the system. Installation will take the average DIY-er 3-6 hours, depending on experience.
