Hindsight is always 20/20, or so it seems. Ben and Tyler talk about things that they may have over analyzed in the past, or held off on doing to a truck, only to realize that they psyched themselves out. It was not as hard as originally imagined. They discuss body shaming… not that kind. Truck bodies.
This week Ben goes over his new-ish found oil leak on the 2001 7.3 Excursion and next round of parts. They also dive deep to figure out what the "something" is in the "something about a truck."
OFFSETS EXPLAINED! …At least as best as Ben can, on a podcast, with no visuals… Ben and Tyler go on a BIG tangent on old trucks and old school muscle cars. Do you remember the first time you heard a big block? Once a gearhead, always a gearhead.
This week Ben and Tyler talk about what would make sled pulls more exciting, what actually makes a man truck, and the fix to your wife always locking her keys in the car.
The boys at ADP got a wedding invite! There is speculation the Toyota Tundra may be getting a diesel engine option soon... we'll believe it when we see it. Ben handles a late night repair on the Excursion. Steering wheel covers, and SXS'ing.

In this episode we talk about what a good flip means and how to prepare for the best outcome. Flipping vehicles can be a great way to hone skills and make some extra cash.
Ben & Tyler discuss the pros and cons of 2011+ Ram 6.7 Cummins, 2011+ Ford 6.7 Powerstrokes, and Ram 1500's with the 3.0 ECODiesel.
Now that Tyler has added a Honda Talon and Bed rack on his 2021 Ram and pulls a trailer, Ben and Tyler get to sit down and talk about this most recent update and his first experiences with it on the road.
Let's take it apart! In this episode Ben and Tyler go over why the CP4 has a high failure rate and compare internals with the CP3. The CP4 injection pump has been around the 3/4 and 1 ton diesel market since 2011 in the Powerstroke, and Duramax. In 2019 Ram decided it was time to jump on the bandwagon, but quickly reversed their choice for the 2021 model trucks.
This is a YouTube question sent in by Andrew regarding his first diesel pick up. We already answered his question in the comment, but wanted to expand on why we went they way we did.
Let's get into the 68RFE. Basic overview and issues they have internally, which leads to failures.

Tyler has been using his truck just as it was meant to be used for nearly two months. Towing his trailer in stock form has been great, however, he is now adding a side-by-side to the mix. Time for some weight mitigation!
Now that most of the shake down is complete, it is time to figure out what the plans are for the Excursion. In this episode we cover whats been handled thus far, and what the suspension and performance plans are.
There are SO MANY other things that can be an issue on newer trucks aside from the DPF. Hence the name of the episode.

Part two of the overview on the Dana 60 swap on Ben's 1997 Powerstroke. This episode covers getting the TTB off the truck, and getting the Dana 60 in. We go over some of the road blocks I ran into, also an update on our yard equipment, because that came up last episode.
FINALLY! It's time for this "F-350" to actually have proper running gear in the form of a ball joint Dana 60. This particiular axle came form a dually truck which means several items will need to be swapped from the TTB over to the Dana 60. This entire swap was performed in Ben's garage, with mostly basic tools. Follow along and learn where the road blocks were to hopefully allow your swap to go even faster!
We had a listener send in a good question regarding transmission options that would result in more gears for his 1994-1997 7.3 Powerstroke. We discuss what options are out there and which one would be our choice and why. Options discussed include 4R100, ZF5, ZF6, 5R110, 6R140, Allison 1000, Gear Vendors.
Delton stopped by and sat down with Ben and Tyler to talk about dual disc clutches, recommendations for the OBS, and some fun stories regarding part failures.
Combing over the vehicle. Finding little things here and there. Muffler. Blower Motor Relay. Rear Window. Door actuators. Key Fob. IC Boots, found boost leak. Zip ties. Stereo. Fuel leak. Chased a clunk, rear end re-fresh.

Overview install of the Nitro gears and Ford Locker in Ben's Blue OBS. Also a look ahead at whats to come.

High HP daily driver trucks, 7.3 vs 6.7 Cummins swap, 2020 L5P, BorgWarner EFR Turbos, and EZ LYNK Tuning.

@SPOOLBUSBEN LIVES AGAIN!! After being left down by a junker Excursion at a dealership, Ben found a diamond in the rough, get this, on his way to work, around the corner from Diesel Power Products. Needless to say, Ben gained about 8900lbs over his lunch break. She's a well maintained beauty.
Saturday’s are for THE BOYS! A few Saturdays ago, Ben, Tyler, and SnapOn Bryan, went to small dealership to check out an Excursion Ben had his eye on. After that experience they boys made their way to the junk yard to find an engine.
Things that go without saying, which means you don’t need to say them. We’re saying them.
Inventory your parts before you begin working. Save your receipts. Put order confirmations or receipts/shipping emails in their own folder. Do not schedule appointments for install until you have all parts in your possession, and have inventoried them.
The guys talk about both their 2021 truck goals, truck buying habits, and non-diesel 2021 life goals.
The guys discuss a 2019 Ford F350 that recently sold for $275,000, HyTech Power's new hydrogen injection kit, Kenworth's new class A electric truck, and diesel industry emissions.
Matt Ewald sent in a great question about what truck to chose and what mods to do. He has some VERY realistic budget figures and also VERY realistic power goals for the truck and what it will be used for.
It’s Lenny from Dynomite Diesel again! This is a bit of a throw back to when Ben visited Dynomite and had the awesome privilege of testing his old crappy stock injectors and then seeing how Lenny does his magic.
Warm in winter. 2003 5.9 HP goal for work truck. Water, Propane, Hydrogen? 5.9 CR No Start, possible Algae.

This was the episode we meant to make when we started our Ramblin' #1 episode, but we ended up rambling... Such is life.
Welcome to a new series of episodes from Ben and Tyler. Ramblin' episodes are just that, we start, we ramble, then we finish. Topics are loose, and sometimes we tangent into some pretty weird stuff. In this episode of Ramblin' we talk about which body style Dodge Ram we like the best, buying a Mexican truck at a dealership, 10-12 Ram Performance parts, and a few other odds and ends.

According to the lead investigator from CalFire, the Apple fire was caused by a marble sized piece of soot from a vehicle on the highway. If that sounds weird to you, you're in the right spot. Let's dissect this accusation.
As a follow up to last week's episode, Ben and Tyler have a beater car beat....... competition! We talk about the positives and negative of Tyler's 1989 Honda Accord and Ben's 1999 Dodge Durango. Platforms that make great beater cars are also discussed.
Big wheels on lifted trucks are a style icon, however, going BIG can have some pretty hellacious results on your truck, and wallet. Ben and Tyler go over some tips and advice on how to do a big wheel "right."
So you've made the smart decision to purchase a cheap beater car to help subsidize your diesel truck modification addiction. THIS IS A GOOD CHOICE! In this episode, Ben and Tyler go over some easy and inexpensive things to help your cheap beater car not feel like to total piece of crap.
What is the worst that can happen? Ben and Tyler go over a few scenarios, where this frame of mind might not be the best idea.
Ever wondered what is inside an HE351VE turbo? Ben and Tyler tear one down during this episode. If you have the opportunity to watch this one on YouTube, you will thank us later. The HE351VE is our most popular turbo sold as they tend to have issues especially with the actuators. These turbo's are found on any Dodge Ram truck with a 6.7 Cummins 2007.5 to current.
The new Powerstrokes are quite the majestic beast. Ben and Tyler go over some details on the new 10-speed transmissions and their overall thoughts after a test drive in our 2020 F350.
Wondering which Tuning platform is right for your truck? Ben and Tyler discuss the merits of the two most popular tuning platforms, EFI Live and EZ Lynk. They also go over the drawbacks of each while providing some Pro Tips for working on or purchasing a used truck that has been tuned. Their tips could save you a lot of money and heartache.
Let's talk about IPR's! Today Ben talks about the function of the IPR (Injection Pressure Regulator), how it works, and how it affected his 1997 7.3 OBS. Without ever seeing a disassembled IPR, Tyler tries to reassemble the IPR which Ben took apart. If they are a bit of a mystery to you, or you want some clarity on them, this is an episode for you.
In this episode, we get an update on Ben’s never ending adventure with his 1997 Ford Powerstroke OBS (Old Body Style).
Topics covered: Manifold Air Pressure Sensor (MAP), Exhaust Back Pressure Sensor (EBPV), Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS), Camshaft Position Sensor (CPS), Crank Case Vent (CCV, aka “The Dog House”), clutches, and more.
One of the most common questions we get on the phone is, “which muffler is the quietest?”. A lot of us diesel guys are getting a little older, or have families now, and the allure of a straight piped truck doesn't really fit the bill any more. In this episode Ben and Tyler go over what we have found to be the best mufflers for the job in a few different scenarios.
Let's talk about hot shot drivers. This segment of diesel truck owner operators bridge the gap between couriers and semi-truck freight drivers. Ben and Tyler talk about what they would do and maybe some ideas for someone who is hot shotting or is thinking about hot shotting. ------------------------------------------- You can find all of our audio episodes on: iTunes: https://apple.co/2wQ6ZFW Google Play: http://bit.ly/32rVfFm Soundcloud: http://bit.ly/32z0rHp Spotify: https://spoti.fi/382h67t ------------------------------------------- Podcast Presented by Diesel Power Products: America's Diesel Superstore | www.dieselpowerproducts.com ------------------------------------------- NO SALESMEN.
