2014 CHEVY 2500 HD
I bought this Crew Cab, LT package
truck new; now it’s sitting at 49,000 miles.
Modifications include tuning by Dura-
max Tuner, an S&B Cold Air Intake, ATS Dual
Fueler with Sportsman CP3 Pump, Stealth
64 VVT Turbo, DT 750 Built Transmission by
Duramax Tuner, Cognito Stage 4 Leveling
Kit, Cognito Tie Rods, Cognito Heavy Duty
Swaybar and end links, Fass 150 Lift Pump,
Beans Diesel Sump, Edge CTS2 Display, MA
transmission brace, MA PCV Reroute, and
Royal Purple Fluids. In the future I want to
add a twin turbo and 60 percent injectors.
I use it for daily driving, drags, and heading
to the Silver Lake sand dunes. It’s my first
diesel and I’m having a blast building it.
Right now it dynos at 615hp and 1,200 lb/ft
of torque with all emissions intact!CLAY ROSE

2004 DODGE RAM 2500
Take a deep breath: this truck has a lot done to it! It’s got a new
performance 5.9 Cummins long block that’s been powder-coated
purple, with a bored/surfaced block, new pistons, rings, bear-
ings, engine gasket set, valve job/surface head. It also has new
guide seals; ARP head studs; a camshaft, valve springs, lifters, and
pushrods all from Hamilton; Fleece coolant bypass, 60hp injectors,
Industrial Injection main girdle, 12-valve rods, and a high-horse-
power cold air intake. It has the Mads Smarty Touch tuner, an S&B intake horn and cold air intake, and a 64/67 Tater built turbo.
Next, it has a new stage 3 billet transfer case. At the same time, I got a new lifetime warranty radiator along with a billet transmission.
The truck just got the entire 4x4 shaft rebuilt with a lifetime warranty at Napa. I just got some new 33 Toyo open country R/T mud tires
on 962 Moto Metals 20/12 wheels. It’s got air bags in the back, a 2.5-inch leveling kit in the front, full replacement body guard front
bumper, 5 percent window tint all the way around. Finally, there’s a B&W turnover ball in the bed, Halo headlights and a new 2-inch cowl
hood with color-matched grille, and a Kenwood radio with 12-inch Kenwood subs and kicker door speakers.
Black smoke don’t mean it’s broke!CASEY PRITCHETT
