Have you ever wondered if a properly maintained 6.7L Power Stroke can go a million miles? They’re out there, and this one—a hot shotting Super Duty currently in the care of Hill’s Diesel in east Tennessee—is well on its way to maxing out the odometer (FYI: the odometer in late-model Fords stops at 999,999). Believe it or not, the engine that’s racked up all these miles is still rocking the original CP4.2 it left the factory with. By the way, that 739 miles to E is thanks to the truck being fitted with an aftermarket high-capacity fuel tank.

And you thought Hardway Performance only printed big numbers for the Cummins crowd… On a recent visit to Hardway’s in-ground DynoJet, Enrique Gonzalez’s twin-turbo, LBZ-powered Colorado made an insane 2,086 hp. This is the same 2WD, 3,500-pound ’06 Chevrolet compact that’s been on the scene for a number of years—and it’s still licensed, insured, and equipped with a parachute. The stock block LBZ often sees more than 7,000 rpm, can turn out 4-second 1/8-mile passes, 1-second 60-foots, and pulls nearly 4 G’s on the launch. How long a V-8 will sit atop the leader board at Hardway’s place is anyone’s guess, but for now this little Duramax is the truck to beat.

One of the longest-running complaints in the 6.7 Power Stroke world just got a lot more serious. A federal judge has just certified portions of a class-action lawsuit covering 2011-2023 Ford trucks equipped with the Bosch CP4 high-pressure fuel pump. Owners have their failure related cost claims, (which we're all too familiar with), plus the idea that the pumps were willingly introduced into a market where diesel lacked the lubricity to keep the pumps alive. But Ford disputes that, pointing to pump revisions, maintenance and contaminated fuel as possible causes. This "certification" doesn’t mean either side lost, or won. It just means qualifying owners in California, Louisiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania and South Carolina can now move forward with their lawsuits. The cases are still ongoing, but if you're in one of these "certified classes", save every repair order receipt, diagnostic result, anything related. It may help you in the future. Also, remember that if/when these cases are settled, there's a good chance they'll set a precedent other courts will pay attention to, meaning it potentially will spread outside those prior listed states. Save your receipts and every document possible.

As promised, it was a busy weekend at the Hub City Dirt Drags in Richland Center, Wisconsin. From the Diesel Truck Challenge to the truck and tractor pulls, nonstop burnouts, dyno runs, and highly populated show ‘n shine, all indications are that this year’s Hub City event was the biggest in its history. As for the 39-entry Diesel Truck Challenge that headlined the affair, KS Performance & Repair’s third-gen Cummins brought home the W (and the $8,000 payout). Perhaps even more impressive, the truck made a fuel-only, 1,524-rwhp on the dyno. Then it proceeded to move the sled 376 feet and then finish strong (Fourth Place) in the dirt drags to take the overall win.

The Limited Pro Stock (3.0) diesel trucks were pulling in California, Missouri over the weekend at the Diesel Power Plus Showdown. In a strong, 20-truck field, Bryan Banghart’s “Powertrip” Dodge—a Freedom Racing Engines-powered, common-rail first-gen Cummins—led the way on night number one. The only catch was that Bryan wasn’t behind the wheel… Driving duties were assigned to his father, Steve Banghart, who proceeded to out-distance “Optimus Prime” driven by Chad Perkins and hold off Adam Hallien’s “Wrecker.” The Powertrip Dodge would turn in a 297-foot, Fourth Place finish on night 2 of the central Missouri show.

As far as the history of diesel drag racing goes, this truck deserves more than a single chapter. Coined “The Grinch,” the P-pumped, 12-valve monstrosity dominated the ranks of the Pro Street class for years before being sold to LoganBuilt Transmission & Race Fab’s Logan Yelton in 2017. After repowering the truck, it saw limited track time before Logan sold it as a roller the following year. Rumor has it the truck is somewhere in the Great White North at this point, sporting a black wrap. In case you didn’t know, this truck still holds the full-size 4x4 1/8-mile record for a 12-valve Cummins, having gone 5.40s back in the day.
