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

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

6.3L Stroker 6.0 Powerstroke: The Ultimate Tow Build?
Q: What changes when you do a 6.3 stroker build?
The engine becomes a drop-in for many, with the larger 6.4 crank and strengthened internals allowing higher power while maintaining reliability; customers can opt for fully built long blocks with coatings, ARP hardware, and other performance upgrades.
Why 6.0L Powerstroke Injectors Fail
Q: How did your background in aviation influence Holder's Diesel's approach to injectors?
It gave me a methodical, part-by-part understanding of systems, a mentality for careful sourcing of compatible parts, and a discipline for testing that translates into higher reliability and clear guidance for customers.
Mechanic Shortage is About to Hit Truck Owners Hard
Q: Tell me about your background in the automotive industry.
The guest started by working for Ford, moved into dealership work and sales, and eventually joined Shelby American as a market strategist, where he covers multiple states. He emphasizes how relationships and hands-on experiences shaped his path and led him to focus on educating and encouraging the next generation of technicians.
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.
