  • From “excellent” to “disappointment”

    Loved the podcast…until you highlighted an OnlyFans “diesel influencer.” Thanks, but no thanks.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Inside Ram’s Torture Testing for Their New Diesel Trucks
Q: How do you balance emissions compliance with reliability and customer expectations for power and torque?
We pursue major evolutions that reduce NOx and other emissions while increasing power by advancing molecular-level engine design, higher-pressure fuel systems, better injector atomization, and fuel system integration, all while maintaining reliability and customer-perceived performance.
Inside Ram’s Torture Testing for Their New Diesel Trucks
Q: What would you say the biggest change is with this new RAM that somebody would notice day to day driving it?
The most noticeable changes include the higher power from the 6.7 diesel, the new 8-speed transmission delivering smoother shifts, quicker glow plug warm-up in cold weather, and standard adaptive driving assist features that improve everyday driving and trailering.
Why Every Diesel Owner Needs THIS in the Tank
Q: What is the recommended usage frequency and what differences might customers notice in between flushes?
If used regularly, the product can be part of a monthly maintenance routine to keep the fuel system clean between deeper cleanings, with customers potentially noticing easier starts, smoother idle, and reduced downtime due to fewer injector or DPF issues.
Why Every Diesel Owner Needs THIS in the Tank
Q: Tell me about this new product and what it focuses on doing and helping people that own these trucks.
The product is an in-tank injector and DPF flush designed to quickly clean injectors, balance injector flow, improve combustion, and subsequently reduce soot buildup in the exhaust system. It acts as a rapid flush that enables better engine performance and helps lubricity and detergent components work together across the fuel system, including EGR and DPF, with regular use as a maintenance check.
He Cummins-Swapped a 1977 Chevy Suburban - Here’s Why
Q: Is there anything you think is overlooked in a build like this?
A lot of stuff is overlooked; people often focus on horsepower and cool factor, ignoring the importance of using good components throughout the build.
