Trucks Next Door: March 2014

As the owner of TCD Performance in Ohio, I've been around the block when it comes to working on diesels. My 2005 LLY Duramax is the weekend toy that I always wanted. A lot of hard work went into this truck. I have everything from new head studs to PPE center-link and tie-rod sleeves installed in it. I really wanted a truck that I could enjoy anytime I wanted and never have to worry about it. This truck has seen a lot of performance put into it and there's not many stones unturned when it comes to part upgrades. In the future, I plan on completing the engine rebuild that I started with new rods, pistons and machine work. When the engine is finished, my truck will have made a complete transformation from stock to performance.

This is my 1999 24-valve Cummins. Currently, I have a Quadzilla Adrenaline tuner helping the truck with all of the other mods I have on it. I have stage 2 Dynomite Diesel injectors, a 4-inch MBRP straight pipe, a K&N cold air intake, a CFM Plus intake manifold and many more installs on my Dodge. With everything that I've installed, I needed to make sure the transmission would hold up to the extra power, so I picked up a full billet Suncoast transmission kit and armored the transmission. Right now, I'm getting 400hp and 850 torque. In the near future, I plan on installing a bigger turbo and an exhaust manifold and increasing the power my truck has.

This is my 2008 Ford F-250 crew cab short-box. My truck is completely loaded and I've put in a ton of high performance parts. I have the truck blacked out from tip to tip with Recon lights all around. I put in a 10-inch suspension lift, which I then installed 40x15.50 Nitto mud tires that are sitting on 22x14-inch Fuel Hostage wheels. I also have an aFe stage 2 intake, a 5-inch exhaust and I'm currently running a Spartan 310hp tune on it. This is one beast of a truck and I couldn't be happier with it. I get a lot of looks on the road when I come up on other drivers. I wanted a great-looking truck that I could personalize and make my own and my F-250 was the perfect fit.
