Diesel World June 2024

We are stoked to be back in our regular show-season mentality! Sled pulling has become an every-weekend occurrence around Florida, and with LST coming up we’re ready to kick it into gear and get back to sharing these awesome shows that some of you can’t attend. The past month I’ve been working on getting my (no longer broken) transmission out of “Stock to Not” and back in the truck, as well as a SPICY s467 that takes the place of our stock replacement 362 so we can get to our 700hp goal. This book is getting more and more dialed in every single issue, and our efforts to keep print outlets alive and well in our industry are being noticed by our readers. We’d be nothing without you guys and…

Everyone has their favorite engine configuration when it comes to power numbers, torque, performance, and allover quality, but if you ask Ford diesel fans what their engine of choice is, chances are most of them will put the 7.3L V-8 Power Stroke at the top of the list. Known as being virtually “bulletproof” with regular maintenance, the 7.3L can be found in Ford light-duty trucks all the way back as far as 1994. Despite being replaced with the 6.0L Power Stroke in the second quarter of 2003, due in large part to California’s emissions and noise regulations, the 7.3 remains one of the most sought-after diesel engines in the Ford truck fleet today. That very engine is exactly what inspired Caleb Rennekamp of Groveland, Florida, to build this custom truck!…

When the time comes for a seasoned custom car builder and collector to look for something ‘different’ than they have had in the past, this is what they gravitate towards. Just finding a ’54 Ford C750 and getting it back in driving condition would fit the bill for staking claim on possessing an uncommon vehicle, but there’s always more room to further venture out into the territory of truly unusual. Mark Pierson of Sarasota, Florida is a well-documented car and truck enthusiast who is always hunting for his next wild addition to his collection. While he currently has several unique vehicles in his stable, his latest acquisition captures far more attention than the rest. AGED TO PERFECTION While Mark is never afraid to dive deep into a project to bring…

With the foundation of diesel engines and who waswere responsible for them established in the May issue, Diesel World continues the deep dive into diesel history. Understanding just the very beginning leaves quite the gap of information from then—until now. Here, we pick up from where we left off with Mr. Rudolf Diesel and his invention, finding ourselves looking at possibly the most important evolution of the diesel engines—: the integration of the engine into a variety of industries, such as transportation, commercial shipping, and even war machinery. Rudolf Diesel’s patent on his diesel engine expired in 1908, opening the door for anybody to take the design and innovate upon it. A plethora of engineers and inventors took the design and started implementing them into all sorts of applications almost…
