Over the Top - This Chevy Show Truck is a 700-HP Sleeper
When it comes to spinning some tires, a show truck isn’t usually the first thing that comes to mind. After owning more than 15 different cars and trucks over the past decade, Nick Mofford of Draper, Utah, wanted something different. Mofford had known he wanted a diesel. But he didn’t want just any truck, so he put himself to work and started to modify his Chevy to stand out in a crowd.
Power Driven Diesel Cranks out 1,221 hp and 2,532 lb-ft with a Three-Turbo 6.4L Ford
It wasn’t long before using two turbos in a compound arrangement wasn’t enough. Sled-pulling tractors have run three or even four turbos for years, and it was only a matter of time before pickups followed suit. While it may sound like overkill, triple turbos do have their advantages over traditional two-turbo setups. Check out how Power Driven Diesel crammed three turbos under the hood of this Ford.
Goerend has more than a decade of experience, and we thought this would be a good chance to pick his brain concerning some common facts and fallacies we hear regarding Allisons, Dodge 47s and 48s, and transmissions in general. In the end, after two days of tours, questions, disassembly, and reassembly, we left with a much greater understanding of how transmissions worked, what is fact, and what is fiction.
Making both fans mad - Duramax Turbo on a Power Stroke
If you’ve ever heard of a Duramax or 6.0L Power Stroke equipped with a Powermax turbo, you’ll completely understand this article. Enter the 6.7L Power Stroke crowd—specifically 2011-2014 Super Duty owners. These trucks came with the single sequential (dual compressor wheel) Garrett GT32 SST that was notorious for premature failure (oftentimes with nothing more than a hot tuner in the mix). What’s the fix? Well, it comes from GM...
Project 600 HP 7.3L Daily - Fire Rings, Studs, Valve Springs, Push Rods and Injectors
For this 7.3L, we weren’t looking to go that big (well at least not yet). The original plan was for 500 hp, but after talking with Dave Armstrong from Swamps Diesel, he made us realize that now-a-day’s making 500 hp or more with a 7.3L is relatively simple and that if we ever wanted to go bigger that we should take the steps towards that larger hp goal now as opposed to later. So, we went big…
Robbie Bryant is definitely addicted to modifying, and that’s exactly what he did with his tired 1999 Ford F350—he made it new again. And he did so in such an epic way that it’s making us rethink our project-vehicle goals.
