Your Duramax Deserves Better Than Sludge Soup

2 weeks ago | dieselarmy.com | Jason Gonderman

Performing your own oil change isn't just about saving a few bucks-it's about understanding your engine and staying connected to its performance. For Duramax enthusiasts, it's one of the simplest ways to extend the life of your investment and keep that turbo whistling happily for years to come. For us, routine oil changes are non-negotiable.

There are those who choose a short-wheelbase 4×4 for the trail, and then there are those who give the nod to a full-size rig. Colin Mecey is the latter, and his 2004 Chevy Silverado 2500HD may be big, but it has proven its agility on the Rubicon Trail. In fact, Colin reports that the truck had no body damage when it emerged from the trail after the three-day run. A House Purchase Spurred The Silverado's BuildThe trail-prowling part of the Silverado's history began with the purchase of a house.
Is Ford's 6.7L Power Stroke Engine A Fire Risk? New Recall Says Yes.

2 weeks ago | dieselarmy.com | Jason Gonderman

It's no secret that Ford's 6.7-liter Power Stroke V8 diesel engine has been a tad problematic since its inception. Produced by Ford since 2011, we have seemingly seen one Power Stroke recall after another. Early models (2011 to 2014) were prone to turbocharger failures due to a unique single sequential turbo design, which utilized ceramic ball bearings that struggled under heat and stress. High-pressure fuel pump failures, particularly with the Bosch CP4.2 pump, are another critical issue.

There are no creative rules when you're building a project car. Joseph Harris really leaned into that idea when he built his 1979 Chevette that's powered by a Mercedes-Benz OM606 3.0 liter diesel engine. This spunky inline six-cylinder engine can make upwards of 600 horsepower, and fit perfectly inside the engine bay of the Chevette. Joseph saw a Chevette when he was just a kid and thought the little car was fascinating.

Ford Recalls 6.7-liter Power Stroke Trucks Over CP4 Issues

1 month ago | dieselarmy.com | Jason Gonderman

If you're running a 2020 to 2022 Ford F-Series Super Duty with the 6.7L Power Stroke, there's a new Bosch CP4 recall that you're likely already aware of. However, if you drive a 2011 to 2019 Super Duty or a 2011 to 2016 Chevy Silverado or GMC Sierra with a Duramax you'll want to pay attention. Ford has launched Recall No. 24S78 targeting certain 2020-2022 diesel-powered trucks equipped with the Bosch CP4 RP7 high-pressure fuel pump (HPFP).
EPA Mandates Minimum Horsepower For All Diesel Trucks

2 months ago | dieselarmy.com | Jason Gonderman

In an unprecedented move, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has announced a new federal regulation requiring all diesel trucks to make a minimum of 750 horsepower and 1,500 lb-ft of torque-or face immediate impoundment and mandatory performance upgrades.
Revcon Trailblazer All-Terrain

2 months ago | dieselarmy.com | Jason Gonderman

When you think of Japan what likely comes to mind are images of bustling metropolitan cities, tiny Kai trucks, and bullet trains. However, the idea of a 30-foot American land-yacht being parked in the middle of Tokyo is almost unfathomable. Recently, however, a member of the 7.3-liter Power Stroke Owners group on Facebook posted that they had spotted exactly that, a rare '90s Revcon Trailblazer All-Terrain off-road RV parked in a residential neighborhood near Tokyo's famous Shibuya district.
A Spotless, Home-Built Classic

Mar 3, 2025 | dieselarmy.com | Scott Parker

When you see a classic GM truck, you assume it has either the original carbureted engine or maybe even a LS or LT swap in it. Those three staple engines are what the norm has become. Any gearhead can tell by the sound of the engine when the truck passes as to what is under the hood. So it caught us by surprise when we ran across this 1979 C10 Chevrolet truck at the 2024 Dinos Git Down. We immediately knew this was not your run-of-the-mill small-block C10.
Firepunk Continues To Push The Limits Of Diesel Drag Racing

Jan 23, 2025 | dieselarmy.com | Brian Wagner

It's absolutely wild what diesel drag racers are doing these days. The team at Firepunk Diesel recently reset the diesel door slammer record in their 1970 Duster with a booming 3.85 pass at 198 mph. We caught up with Lavon Miller to learn more about what goes into making a diesel-powered anything go so quick and fast. The ability to make horsepower has always been available with a diesel engine, but now racers have access to technology that allows them to fully control their engine.
