Diesel Performance Podcast

What happens when you bolt together various parts of one truck with another? The results may vary, but it's sure a lot of fun to see it all come together and work. Or maybe it doesn't work and another "Frankenbuild" or "swap" bites the dust and gets parked with a tarp over it.  In this episode, Paul Wilson and Scott Henricks talk swaps with a trio of owners: Eric Swanson of Duraburb - a company that specializes in the installation of the Duramax drivetrain into a Suburban. Then Nick Priegnitz of Duramaxtuner.COM talks about the ApacheMAX, a 1958 Apache bolted to the frame of a 2003 2500HD. Tony Zuccarell of Elgin, Ilinois talks about dropping a Cummins into the body of a Ford Expedition. Sit back and enjoy - and maybe you'll be inspired to do your own Frankenbuild or not.

Chris Klenke of Aftermath Diesel Services, Villa Ridge, Missouri talks with DPP's Scott Henrick's about the Cummins, an engine Chris knows a lot about. The conversation spans all generations of Cummins and describes the pros and cons of each. Chris also explains what to look when purchasing a Cummins and the modifications that may best serve the owner's need. The Cummins engine is simple - but complex at the same time. 

Paul Wilson and Scott Henricks return with Episode 2. Paul interviews Tim Slater, president of Centurion Fleet Services, Incorporated of Hampshire, Illinois. Tim knows just about everything there is to know about the Powerstroke, starting with the 6.0 to the 7.3 and now the 6.7. Tim explains how each engine has its pros and cons, usually related to emission controls added through the years. If you enjoy listening to people talk about engines - you will dig this podcast. Tim knows his stuff and it is fascinating to hear all he knows explained with passion and insight thanks to years of experience.
