  • 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.

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?

He Cummins-Swapped a 1977 Chevy Suburban - Here’s Why
Q: What were the keys to being able to work with him to realize this build?
