Underpowered Cab and Chassis Diesel Trucks Need Addressing
Chris and Anthony have a specific topic they want to discuss today. Lately, the boys have been fielding a lot of calls and questions regarding how sluggish and underpowered a lot of these big cab & chassis Cummins, Power Stroke, and Duramax trucks are. Many of these owners are purchasing these trucks for towing and hot-shotting larger loads long distances and notice just how much less they have in terms of power, acceleration, and more compared to the regular medium-duty diesel pickup trucks. The guys discuss exactly what they have seen in terms of what these stock cab & chassis trucks drive like and discuss exactly what they've seen others doing to them to solve the issue.

Revisiting and Perfecting LB7 Tuning | Nick Priegnitz
Chris and Anthony are joined by Nick Priegnitz, founder of Duramaxtuner and Calibrated Power, to discuss what he's been up to specifically with the LB7 (20014-2004 Duramax) platform. The boys over at Calibrated Power have dropped a new LB7 Stealth STR and in the process Nick thought, it would be a good idea to take my two decades worth of tuning knowledge in the vastly evolving world of diesel trucks. With the amount of possible calibrations on the L5P platform (2017-2026), the way you attack building a perfect tune is very different than back in the day with the immense amount of parameters to modify. He sat down to talk with the boys about his tuning advancements on a platform he already pushed to a different level, but if you know Nick like we do, if there is any room to get more out of truck, he is going to push for it. We also discussed turbo development and many more topics.

Building, Beating, and Burnouts - Catching Up with Cold Front Diesel
Anthony and Chris have two of our favorite guys on, David and Caden fron Cold Front Diesel. You may remember them breaking records emissions-compliant LML that threw down 706 horsepower and 1,200 FT-LBS of torque. To go completely the other way, the Cold Front boys bought a "winter beater" aka a former plow truck, and these boys are from Northern Michigan, so you do the math. From there the 290,000 mile truck was just too reliable, so they decided to make it a drag and drive truck. This truck was built from many different used parts to the point the boys named it Project Hand Me Down. Our crew talked to them utilizing it for Sick Summer 2026 and the upcoming Sick Michigan coming up this month (August). From breaking the truck doing burnouts to running their diesel shop up north, we talked about it all!

Engineering New Levels of Power and Reliability with Aftermarket Turbochargers
This week the boys wanted to discuss how much the industry has pushed diesel truck modifications to a different level. Turbo technology has drastically chaged for the good. Today's chargers are handling more power than ever while delivering better reliability and durability than what was possible just a few years ago. Anthony and Chris discuss how much advancement we've seen, a few fallacies (smaller wheel is bad, bigger is better), and roll into Nick Priegnitz discussing the stock turbo charger of the L5P versus an L5P Stealth STR comparing power, spool, and more!
