There comes a time when you see something so cool and unique that it just gets ingrained into your memory bank, with little to no chance of it dislodging quickly. That’s pretty much how most onlookers who see Dakota Sargent’s 1951 Ford F-5 truck feel (including us). While its patina-weathered body and lifted stance give it a rugged utilitarian demeanor, there is an elevated level of sophistication to it that made us think right away that it was more than meets the eye—mainly due to some highly impressive features stashed away underneath the hood and the entirety of the truck itself. These are the characteristics that truly showcase Dakota’s engine and truck building talents. Having a background in diesels, on-highway, and over-the-road trucks, as well as being on-contract as a…

As much as it hurts some of us to admit, GMT800 (‘99-07 Chevy/GMC) trucks are pretty old by today’s standards. With three generations superseding it, it’s safe to say that this body style will be approaching “classic” status in short order. And as old as these trucks may now be considered, we bet you still see at least a handful of them every day - but probably none as clean as Daniel Pierce’s ‘06 GMC Sierra 3500. But this isn’t just an old truck to Dan, as this GMC and he go way back. “My father bought the truck new in 2006, and had it until 2016 when I bought it from him. When he first bought the truck I was nine years old, so from then on my entire…

After a slight setback in some labor oriented parts of this process (like extra machine work, and the transmission shop being behind) we have finally gotten "Stock to Not" to a point where the engine and drivetrain are ready to go back together. As Cummins guys, mechanical ones at least, we know that these engines love big fuel, and we’re going to need a pretty significant amount to hit our 700HP goal. So we gave the guys at Dynomite diesel products a ring and they supplied us with a FULL DDP fueling kit. We will be running their stage 3 6x.020 injectors, stage 3 delivery valves, 4k governor springs, and P7100 RAC plug. This is the parts list they suggested, and will get this engine closure to the 800HP range…

A the dust settles on SEMA Show 2023, one thing is clear: this year’s show was an absolute triumph for auto enthusiasts of all persuasions, and we were proud to see the diesel folks show up and show out. This year, Diesel World Magazine and our team descended upon Las Vegas to soak in the sights, sounds, and innovations that make the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) Show the most exciting event of the year for the whole automotive industry. With over 70,000 domestic and international buyers, manufacturers, and enthusiasts in attendance, SEMA Show 2023 was nothing short of an automotive oasis. But of course, we had our eyes open for the diesel power on display. Walking through the crowded halls of the Las Vegas Convention Center, it was evident…

If this isn’t the first issue of Diesel World you’ve flipped through, we bet you’ve already noticed that while we are always a fan of a big truck, we rarely ever see a beast this large grace our pages. (If this is your first Diesel World, welcome! Stick around for a while. As long as you’re a diesel fan, there’s something here for you.) And if a truck this large isn’t enough to turn your head, then the little details that bring it all together are sure to pull you in.

It’s more than just…

Everyone loves to win stuff—especially really cool (expensive) stuff. While the chances are much too slim for the majority of us to bank on striking it rich in the lottery or winning a huge jackpot in Vegas, there is still hope to be had for catching a windfall equally as exciting. Those who follow LGND Supply Co. must be aware of the amazing vehicle giveaways they have come to be known for. The vehicles being given away aren’t boring OEM condition cars and trucks—these are heavily modified rides that are major come ups to the enthusiasts who win them.

By this point in the year the holidays are over. The turkey and stuffing has long since passed and the wrapping paper of Christmastime is all bagged up and hauled away. The days are short, the weather anywhere north of the bible belt is freezing (literally), and people are settling in for what seems like an eternity of short days and bitter weather. But as cold and blustery as it is right now, warmer weather is just around the corner and with it comes another season of truck shows, drag racing, and otherwise connecting with friends that you only see 3 times a year. This year, as you’re making your rounds at shows, racing events, sled pulls, and other truck events of the year, remember there are kids at the…
