It’s just as Hill’s Diesel’s Joshua Hill described it: “The CP4 and crank gear got into a fist fight.” If you own a 6.7L Power Stroke of any variety (’11-’14, ’15-’19, or ‘20+), this is what can happen if and when the Bosch CP4.2 locks up. The crank gear spins, the pump’s case can crack, and the mechanic who takes delivery of your ’11-newer Super Duty is on the phone ordering a new engine. Of course, the infamous P0016 camshaft/crankshaft position correlation code is a telltale sign this has occurred. Bent pushrods (or worse) are highly common in addition to all of the other carnage that comes with a seized CP4…reason enough to go ahead and convert to a CP3.

Ford has patented a pretty interesting way to deal with vehicle theft: let the vehicle protect itself. The newly published system could use cameras, radar or lidar to spot suspicious activity around a parked vehicle. Somebody keeps looking through the windows or circling the lot? The Ford could potentially move itself somewhere safer. It gets better. To protect the wheels, it could park between walls, find uneven ground that’s harder to use a jack on, or lower its air suspension. Protecting cargo? Back itself tight against a wall. It’s only a patent for now, but honestly, this is one of Ford’s more interesting ideas.

Lewis Carter’s Cummins-swapped OBS Ford made 2,403 hp on the chassis dyno at this year’s King Of The Street Challenge, but before he ever made it to US 13 Dragway Lewis knew he’d built an animal. As told by the folks at Flux Diesel Injection, Lewis made a dyno prep appearance at Firepunk before KOS commenced. There, Lewis’ setup—complete with big compounds—made 1,600 hp right off the bat, then progressed to an eventual (and highly impressive) 2,015 hp on fuel. Enter a single .160 jet and a warm bottle and the OBS picked up 656 hp. 2,671 hp total. Just imagine what this service bodied Blue Oval will do with more N2O in the mix.

Speaking of KOS, another blockbuster east coast diesel event is just days away. On November 7th, Grudge Wars (presented by Diesel Truck Wars) goes down at Northeast Dragway in Hertford, North Carolina. An all-day diesel test ‘n tune, grudge racing, and a gamblers race will be part of the Saturday festivities—and a $3,600 cash payout will be awarded to the driver that makes the fastest pass of the weekend. But that’s not all. The gamblers race purse is guaranteed at $2,750 (winner takes $1,750, runner-up gets $500 and each semifinalist receives $250) and $250 will be given to the racer who sacrifices the most while pushing the limits of his or her equipment.

A battle is brewing for the final ODSS race of the year—and it’s Justin Zeigler vs. the world. After calling out the current points leader in Super Diesel, Mr. Zeigler will face-off against Justin Goode’s LML Duramax. But that might not be all. David Petrick wants a piece of the fastest Pro Truck in the Outlaw Diesel Super Series, too, and either showdown might be a heads-up, 4.5x vs. 4.5x dream come true. Zeigler will be in town at the Smoky Mountain Throwdown to sew up the 2026 Pro Truck class championship and, of course, take a stab at breaking into the 4.40s in pursuit of the overall 1/8-mile 4x4 diesel record.

No Mercy 17 went down over the weekend at South Georgia Motorsports Park and boy howdy is there a story to tell in the X275 category. First, the winner. Things didn’t look good for DJ McCain and the McCain Racing team on Tuesday, when cylinder head issues nearly took the Vecna Corvette out of contention. One all-night drive to Pat Musi Race Engines and they were back in business—and proceeded to set new records in route to the win. On the compression ignition side of X275, Hardway Performance’s Ryan Milliken—the man who practically invented bringing diesels to SGMP—brought the resurrected ’69 Nova 2.0 to No Mercy. With Andrew Tovornik behind wheel, the Cummins-powered muscle car went 4.17 at 177 mph in E1 for the win, but wheelie’d and had to be pedaled against DJ McCain in E2, taking the loss.
