There’s a difference between making a part cheaper and just making it cheap. Amy and Dan Snyder recently sat down with The Diesel Podcast to talk about something we’ve been dealing with more and more: overseas companies copying our parts, photos, instructions, and sometimes even our name. The problem isn’t just that they look similar. Materials change, machining tolerances change, O-rings get substituted, hoses get downgraded. Basically, whatever saves a buck.
And the worst part? Some customers honestly think they bought an SPE Motorsport part. They didn’t. Then it doesn’t fit or outright fails, and everybody gets to deal with the mess afterward.

A total of 34 Super Stock diesel trucks made the call to the 59th annual National Tractor Pulling Championships in Bowling Green, Ohio over the weekend. In the class’s first session (of two), Scheid Diesel’s Kent Crowder moved the sled furthest with a 329.87-foot effort. One night later, it was Jon Woskob’s “Rollin’ Coal” in the winner’s circle thanks to a 335.03-foot distance. However, amid a sea of Cummins-powered competition, it was Kevin Armstrong’s “Totally Outta Control” Duramax that took home the ring. That’s right, the GMC packing a big single V-8 finished fourth on Friday and second on Saturday for the overall win.

Some call it a Clutch-Flite, some call it a 48RE with a clutch, but old-school diesel heads recognize it as the “DanCo.” Built by Scheid Diesel back in the day, it was designed to help P-pumped Cummins trucks spool big turbos. It was employed in Seth Sullivan’s Pro Street Dodge, where it proved a success, as well as TS Performance’s “Caged Fury” Ram (the truck this one actually came out of). On top of that, the DanCo was used in truck pulling. Common-rail injection, improved torque converter technology, and the TH400 has since rendered it obsolete, but the nostalgia factor alone makes it worth something in our minds. This one is currently in Donavan Harris’s possession and is for sale…
Speaking of the 48RE… You’re looking at the quickest version of Chrysler’s four-speed ever campaigned in a 4x4 truck. At the NHRDA’s Big Sky Truck Fest, this year’s UCC winner, Myer Stump, tore through the 1/8-mile in 4.82 seconds at 154.74 mph. The former ET record stood at 4.88 seconds. Stump’s second-gen, a former farm truck with high miles, is common-rail Cummins-powered and tips the scales at roughly 5,000 pounds. That same weekend, Stump’s Dodge cleared an impressive 3,138-rwhp on Beaman Builds’ mobile chassis dyno. With Myer building his own transmissions, it only helped to sweeten the deal.

It’s crunch time for Seventy2 Fast drivers looking to get their hands on the $100,000 payout at the NHRDA World Finals, and Cole Berenyi is making the most of it. Cole’s budget built 5.9L Cummins recently made 1,355 hp at the wheels on Firepunk Diesel’s chassis dyno. The key ingredient? A set of Flux Diesel Injection Gen 2 injectors with body mods. Fed plenty of rail courtesy of dual CP3’s (and a belt-driven top pump, no less), the 350-percent over nozzle sticks allowed 1,355 hp to be squeezed through the VS Racing 72mm with just 1,450 microseconds of duration being commanded.
