    Info: How much has tuning improved in the last 10 years?

    Just out of curiosity, it seems more and more stock bottem end duramaxs have been making more power than previous thought was wise or safe. Are people just getting lucky, or people are starting to use a better combo of parts to make the power, or has tuning just evolved so we aren't stressing...

    Looking for real world experience with s369sxe

    I when from a SXE wheel and cover on a older S366 to a the SXE S369 and it defiantly spooled a bit slower than the S366 so the claims that it spools the same or quicker than a S366 is BS.

    Looking for real world experience with s369sxe

    I personally have never gone from a VGT to a fix vane, but know from changing turbos that you will not be able to drive the truck the same way. Yes you can tow with a S369, I do it, but it likes RPM to keep the boost up and EGTs down. 5th gear @ 50-60 mph is where I hate mine, a tapshifter would...

    PPEI Next On The Chopping Block???

    Of course, they can just make it interesting to get your money for your tunes. I feel that there always will be a market for diesel stuff, but the giant boom in the diesel market enjoyed in the last 5-10 years that is causing the epa to go after these company's will die and it will go back to 5...

    "OFFICIAL" What did you do to your D-Max today?

    2 post car lift recommendations

    I asked about this awhile ago, if its my money and for personal use I was going to buy the atlas 10K lift. There is a place my town that stocked them, so I would save shipping cost. My trouble with getting much bigger hoists than 10k, is that you go to duel equal length arms, which makes picking...

    Yukon Dura Grip Rear Differential ??

    Has anyone used one before? I am curious about the life of the clutches and how well they grip for a DD use. Long story short, I got from a friend that didn't end up using it or I probably would have got a True Trac.

    EPA strikes again

    IF its well tuned, there is little to no smoke, but that can be said about everything. I have seen many ricers and other vehicles including lsx, blowing black from being way to improper tuning. Its the number of people that want a turbo/super car and don't have the money to do it properly. As...

    EPA strikes again

    So this is effecting pre-emissions vehicles as well now? I have always found it funny that the gas market has not been effected yet, especially since its way bigger.

    DPC 2019 Voting

    Are you planning on using NOS? It always seems that everyone that has a big single never does that great in the driving events because of the altitude.
