Brian Jelich’s Trailblazing, 5.90 Index-Racing 7.3L Power Stroke
With all the recent common-rail dominance in diesel drag racing, the 7.3L Power Stroke may seem like an endangered species these days—but not in Brian Jelich’s world. He’s campaigning a 7.3L-powered, 2000 model year F-350 in the action-packed 5.90 Index class—arguably the most exciting category to watch on the Outlaw Diesel Super Series circuit.
Not all diesel engines have glamorous jobs in fancy places… like under the hood of your pickup. Some toil in the dark, buried deep in the bowels of a ship. Such was the life of this 12-cylinder Cummins VT12, also known as a VT12-825-M. This one powered a bow thruster on a Great Lakes Ship.
Stay Cool: Cooling System Upgrade from Bulletproof Diesel
Project Grocery Getter has been “Bulletproofed” already with a Bulletproof Diesel remote oil cooler, Bulletproof EGR cooler, head studs and more. Her turbo has been upgraded, along with injectors and now she sits at a respectable 500-plus horsepower level. There’s not a ton left we plan to do to this powerful yet reliable family wagon’s 6.0L, but since we’re in the middle of summer, we figured it was the perfect time to get the Excursion’s cooling system following suite.
Breaking Point: How Much HP Can Your Power Stroke’s Stock Hardware Handle?
If you’re looking to more than double the horsepower your Power Stroke brings to the table, we’ve got you covered. If you’ve ever asked yourself much hp can a 7.3 (or a 6.0l, 6.4l or 6.7l) Power Stroke handle? What exactly is the 6.4l Power Stroke max HP before it breaks? We’ll answer that here.
Allis-Chalmers went all out in 1957 to start a total refresh of their tractor lineup. The first to appear in the new line was the D-14. You could call it a light middle weight tractor, big enough to be the main tractor on a small farm and small enough to be a utility tractor on a large farm. It made 34 belt horsepower from a 149 cubic inch four cylinder gas (or LPG) engine.
Diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) is used as an exhaust treatment in modern diesel emissions systems to reduce the levels of nitrogen oxide (NOx) in the exhaust. These systems exist on most modern diesel pickups, diesel cars, semi-trucks and farm equipment. Used properly, DEF is a good thing—but used improperly, it can cause serious (and seriously expensive) problems.
