With its first major redesign since 2017, GM is adding a slew of towing-assist technology, a new front face, and is introducing two high-end trim levels it anticipates will sell well. Of course, the General is also bumping up the Duramax’s power figures. And though the 6.6L diesel doesn’t break the 1,000 lb-ft of torque barrier yet, past experience has taught us that the Duramax/Allison combo doesn’t have to make class-leading horsepower or torque (at the crank) to be the first one to the top of the hill—it’s all about what you can get to the ground.
Improve The Braking Of Your 6.7L With The LoadLeash From Pacbrake
Owners of the Ram truck equipped with the ISB 6.7L Cummins engine have been blessed with a factory exhaust brake from the beginning. While this OEM setup is a vast improvement over wheel brakes alone, it does have some limitations, and with larger trailers you want all the braking you can get when hauling a heavy load. The answer to even better braking with your late model diesel-powered Ram truck is the P-67 LoadLeash from Pacbrake.
Finding the perfect rolling home for an off-road, overland and adventure sports enthusiast who wants to travel the globe is no small task, especially when on the budget of a full time freelance photographer/journalist. My search started with a two-year stint living full time in a used high mileage 4×4 Ford E350 EB 7.3L Power Stroke van, which had a full RV conversion by Sportsmobile.
With a set of big hybrid injectors and an S369 SX-E bearing down on it, the 190,000-mile, stock, bottom-end 7.3L Power Stroke in David Keyser’s ’97 F-250 decided it’d had enough just eight minutes after being started. But instead of throwing in the towel, David decided to pull the engine, overbuild it, and enjoy his horsepower upgrades reliably.
Road Less Traveled: A 2016 GMC Canyon Built For the Big Show
In a world where it seems everyone is building Chevy Silverados and GMC Sierras—boosting already-formidable Duramax engines to their full extent and lifting them ever skyward—it becomes a refreshing change of pace to see someone take the road less traveled and opt to instead take advantage of General Motors’ latest development, the four-cylinder diesel engine in the GMC Canyon and Chevy Colorado.
We’ve had the old Project 600hp F-250 7.3 for 19 plus years now and the paint is starting to show its age. Follow along as we start the process of cleaning up our old F-250 emblem using a custom-body color-matched painting kit from Automotive Touchup. Slapping a coat of paint on something is easy right? It definitely can be but doing it correctly, so the finish looks great and lasts, takes more work than just shaking a can and spraying to your heart’s desire.
