Everything you never knew you couldn’t live without – AFE intercooler piping; Mickey Thompson Baja Boss AT Tires; Champion Oil performance brake fluid; XDP aluminum coolant recovery tank; Industrial Injection 6.0L Injectors; Sinister 6.4L Intake; PPE L5P Oil Pan, and more
Whether you’re familiar with the 7.3L Power Stroke or not, this one is unlike anything you’ve ever seen. However, it’s not because the front-mount turbo, custom headers, and trick intake make the engine look different. Rather, it’s because a lot of the 7.3L’s original design remains.
A few years back, Chris Begley was in the market for a new daily commuter to go to and from the shop and haul his family around. While most would expect him to build a late-model prerunner stuffed full of modern creature comforts and the latest technology, Begley went retro, overhauling a 1990 Dodge Ram D250 Cummins 4×4 from the ground up.
While we hate seeing stock bottom ends give up the ghost, we have to admit that these types of catastrophic failures lead to some of the best engine builds, or perhaps we should call them overbuilds. Turning to the Duramax experts at Illini Outlaw Diesel in San Jose, Illinois, this LML would be reassembled with some of the best aftermarket parts available.
Randy Reyes’ Awe-Inspiring 2,000+ Horsepower ‘06 Ram
There’s nothing subtle about diesel dually pickups. They’re big, wide, and often carry the heaviest tow ratings. When it comes to building one, most people envision some towing modifications, and maybe a tune. But not Randy Reyes. With a full roll cage, four Simpson racing seats, and a glove box full of nine-second timeslips, Randy’s ‘06 Ram 3500 is far from your average six-wheeler.
There are just some rides you can’t walk past without doing a double, or even triple-take. Diesel Performance Specialties (DPS) has built just such a vehicle by seamlessly mating a 6.7L King Ranch truck and a Ford Excursion SUV. With an insane 20 inches of lift, six doors, and wild amounts of chrome and powder coating, this 2016 “Excursion” is a truck like no other.
