The age of burnout competitions is upon us in the diesel industry, but a lot of competitors are finding out the hard way just how much abuse an engine endures during a lengthy smoke show. Problem number one for Gabe Eboli’s Duramax has been boiling fluid temperatures. Fellow tire-shredders within the industry chimed in with these recommendations: a clean cooling stack, a thicker core radiator (or a second radiator in the bed), a bigger intercooler, electric fans, electric water pump (or dual units, each flowing at least 55 gpm), modified (drilled out) thermostats, remote oil cooler, water wetter (or super cool), a proper fuel and air setup, and quality tuning—specifically a file that’s fine-tuned for sustained load. Of course, there is always the drift car trick: repurpose the windshield washer fluid tank to hold ice water, position sprayers across the radiator, and mist the heat exchanger during the melee.
American Outlaw is officially the only first-gen diesel monster truck in existence. Once wrapped in a fiberglass ’69 Dodge Sweptline body from GTS Fiberglass, Brandon Overmeyer’s Cummins-powered beast was fitted with a Trey Myers’ built, first-gen shell over the winter. Recently, the finishing touches were applied when the body was treated to a two-tone vinyl wrap courtesy of MI Wraps. Brandon unveiled the fresh look over the weekend at the Full Throttle Monster Truck Tour event in Butler, Indiana. American Outlaw is powered by a 1,000 hp 12-valve 5.9L packing a 13mm P7100 from Harts Diesel, 5x.025 injectors, and a Stainless Diesel S400.
From monster trucks to mega trucks, meet Justin Hildebrand’s 2004 F-250. It’s not new to the Florida mega truck scene, but it was recently reborn at JH Diesel & 4x4 following a car-crushing gone awry that landed it in Cleetus MacFarland’s pond (don’t ask). The new and improved version, four years in the making, boasts a Kill Devil Diesel 6.0L Power Stroke, Warren Diesel injectors, a FASS fuel supply system, and help from industry leaders like Power Hungry Performance, BD, and even Nitrous Express. If you can’t find Justin’s tractor tire’d behemoth at the mud bogs, you can usually find it hooked bumper to bumper with another mega truck.

Dan Kropinak has dug his record-setting 7.3L Power Stroke out of the weeds… The dyno-melting dinosaur spent the winter months buried in the back of his shop waiting on a ground cable and a test drive—and now it looks like it’s time for that test drive. Back in 2017, his compound turbo’d, nitrous-fed Super Duty made 1,253 hp and 2,269 lb-ft, a high mark that still stands for a HEUI-fired 7.3L. Not surprisingly, Dan’s Ford is no slouch at the drag strip either. If he hits the track or dyno this summer, expect fireworks or a new high mark—possibly even both—for this battle-worn, 444ci V-8.

YouTube's CboysTV, known for wild Ford builds, recently unveiled an even more ridiculous creation: an elongated Super Duty with a 30-foot bed, dubbed the "world's longest truck." Built a few months ago from a limo and ironically intended as a "work truck," this massive, custom pickup has resurfaced on social media and continues to appear at events like "Rednecks with Paychecks."
The new EPA Director, Lee Zeldin, tweeted (X'd? What are we calling posts now??) about start-stop technology. And oh man is he spot on. Zeldin said: "Start/stop technology: where your car dies at every red light so companies get a climate participation trophy. EPA approved it, and everyone hates it, so we’re fixing it." Does this mean we won't have to manually turn it off every time we get in the car anymore?? Let's hope!
