Diesel World February 2025

This month, we take a step into the world of YouTuber and BIG Cummins guy Greg A! We’ve spent time with Greg and his crew at events all across the country last year, and we’ve seen his love for the scene and everything diesel—so we went to Bowling Green, Kentucky, to talk shop with him and get a few of his current builds in front of the camera! This issue packs a huge list of cool diesels, including an Isuzu P’up (which I had never seen before), a special article on diesel-powered tanks, show coverage from the Useless Truck Meet that honors the memory of a dear friend of ours, and a few things that we found at the WrenchWorkz compound last year while shooting this issue’s amazing cover.

When you first hear about the horsepower output of Greg’s 2005 Ram, reactions come in specific stages—the first one usually being pure disbelief. Most people will say that there is absolutely no way this truck just cranked out 3,337 hp—except that it did. It was a pearl-clutching moment, that’s for sure, but this Dodge’s journey to this much power comes with ample documentation to discredit all naysayers in the crowd. Once the initial phase of shock and awe passes and fizzles into acceptance of this insane feat, in comes an unwavering feeling of curiosity and wonderment—how did this truck end up here and why? The latter question is the easiest to answer, so let’s start there. If you know anything about Greg Alberalla, then you’ll understand that making ungodly diesel…

The Useless Truck Meet, a vibrant and community-focused event, made its return to Lafayette, Indiana, on Aug. 17 at the Tippecanoe County Fairgrounds. Despite its lighthearted name, the event is far from “useless” as it draws together truck enthusiasts, vendors, and fans of custom, lifted, and performance trucks for a day packed with entertainment and automotive action in loving memory of Ryne Cooper. Event host Jason Hines offered this message about the meet: “To some a truck meet is just a time to hang out with friends, look at some trucks, and see who wins ‘best of show.’ At the Useless Truck Meet, there is far more meaning behind everything.” This isn’t a show with awards. Instead, this event brings people together and shows who Ryne Cooper (useless6.7) truly was.…
