Ronnie Hatem doesn’t care what you think. With a self-appointed last name like “Hatem,” would you really expect him to? The same goes for his personal style of vehicle builds and artwork. Ronnie does what Ronnie does, and he does it all to please himself, as well as all others who dare to stand alone as fellow true individuals. To be blunt, Ronnie will go out of his way to not be like you. He even says so in his Instagram bio. Oh, you haven’t seen his account yet? Do yourself a favor and take a peek. You’ll be rewarded with an opportunity to see life through the eyes of a true original. This guy knows how to have a blast, and he doesn’t waste any time to see if…

Seeing a truck so large skating on such massive wheels and tires is a sight for sore eyes. Victor Jurado has kept his 2006 Ford F-250 6.0L Harley-Davidson Edition extremely clean while keeping it a great daily driver. THE FIRST STEPS In the span of one year, Victor set out to achieve his dream of owning a frame-off truck. The goal was to ensure every inch of the truck was perfect, starting with the frame. Dropping the 6.0L truck off at Altitude Adjustments Diesel Performance & Offroad in Hudson, Florida, the cab and bed were quickly stripped from the frame to give everything a deep clean before getting to work. The target of this frame off was to weld all of the frame holes shut, grind the welded holes until…

If you’ve been following along the past few months, we’ve been in a mad rush to get our Stock To Not 12-valve Cummins project going as quickly as possible. We’ve upgraded everything on this engine to make it support our 700hp goal and then some, but there’s one piece that we’ve been wanting to do, but haven’t yet—replacing the truck’s stock harmonic balancer. Cue Nick from Fluidampr to save the day. Today we’re going to install a diesel performance Fluidampr kit on our RAM! These dampers never need to be rebuilt or retuned, as it self-tunes in real time to the harmonics of the engine throughout the entire RPM range. It’s built to last the life of the engine and is also a SFI-certified product that is made in the…

01 EDGE PRODUCTS ’98.5-’02 CUMMINS COMP BOX The Comp Box has dominated the 1998.5-2002 24V Cummins market for two decades and is what put Edge Products on the map in the early diesel performance era. With so many VP44 trucks still on the road, the company has completely revamped its Comp Box to offer those same dominating power and torque gains with the industry’s latest technology. The new Bluetooth wireless switch offers adjustability on the fly, while the available smartphone app offers fine tuning control over fueling and timing settings. The all-new Comp allows users to dial in their power curve for aftermarket injectors and larger turbo combinations with better control over smoke output. Breathing new life into an old 5.9L Cummins, Comp offers power gains from 40-180hp with stock fueling…

From parking lot hangouts to dirt track speedway events, from nothing to something, Diesels of New York (DSLNY) was started by just a few friends with a passion for trucks organizing local meetups based out of New York. Currently hosting events at the Orange County Fair Speedway located in Middletown, New York, this team has created one of the truck world’s largest truck groups dedicated to their home state and yearly meetups! Starting their local page in 2018, DSLNY founder Casey Hunt and his team originated from a few friends and family members thinking they could create an event as big as Daytona Beach Truck Meet. After attending Daytona shows in June during summer for vacation, the DSLNY crew wanted to recreate the same atmosphere up north. Through supporting local…

Every enthusiast has a grand vision of their own personal dream truck. For some of us, that image takes a lifetime to develop, not to mention a small fortune to shape into the ideal mold. Others have known the exact pickup they wanted from an early age though. It’s not often that the first truck we own turns into one that sticks around well into adulthood but when this happens, there is usually a very good story behind the build. We recently had the pleasure of meeting up with Jon Edgar Waller of Lebanon, Tennessee. Jon rolled up to the photoshoot in his 1992 Dodge Ram W-350 dually, which is his absolute pride and joy. It’s clear to see why he is so enamored with his truck. Jon has meticulously…

There is no missing this towering 2023 GMC Denali 2500 HD. Whether it’s parked at a show or making its way through traffic, the sheer size of this truck is enough to command attention wherever it may be. Aside from its burly physique, the stark white paint is absolutely blinding in direct sunshine, and the gigantic 30-inch wheels are big enough to strike most onlookers dumb. Once the truck creeps up close enough, however, you’ll start noticing the incredible detail work that went into increasing its ability to make a lasting first impression. THE BIG PLAN Kirsten Roberts of Hampshire, Illinois, purchased this Denali brand new with zero intentions of leaving it in stock condition. In fact, her outlook for it was quite large in scale. She had a rather…

Today is an exciting day for us! We have been building this truck for a few months and it’s finally time to get her on the dyno. Our friend Brett with Boost King Tuning in Lake Helen, Florida, had extra time to get some baseline data for this build before we install our S467.7 turbocharger and really turn this truck up to its max capability. But for now, let’s see what our S362 will do on our current setup. We are anticipating this setup to make about 500-550whptoday, butlikeI said before, this really is about collecting data so we can learn how to get these old dinosaurs moving. Whichever transmission gear provides a 1:1 ratio is usually what dyno operators use, so we’re going to run our manual valve body…

Unless you’ve been living under a rock the last decade there’s a good chance that you’re at least somewhat aware of the concerning state of the diesel industry, especially when it comes to aftermarket parts. And even if you do live under a rock, I would argue that the EPA has probably found a way to somehow find its way into your Sunday morning conversations over a cup of coffee. It’s no secret that the world of diesel is changing. From increasing regulations from various alphabet agencies to more stringent hoops to jump through by OEMs, the world of diesel is evolving, and I have a feeling it will continue to do so in the next few decades. C.A.R.B. compliance, emissions in place, tuning, and even new aftermarket parts that…
