2 Runaways, 1 Engine!

One of the wildest runaways you’ll likely ever see occurred one weekend ago in Georgia. The 8,000-pound Pro Street (2.6 smooth bore) diesel truck coined “Sue” campaigned by the Down South Diesel crew spun out at the end of the track, like it always does. Then the engine took off—but that was just the beginning. Next came the fire, 6,000-plus rpm and then quiet, for a moment... Somehow, the truck’s starter kicked in and the engine refired, revving to the moon once more. The P-pumped Cummins in this second-gen literally would not die. Check out the video for yourself at the link below.

Ford's Fuel Filter Recall: Might explain those fires...

If you've spent much time around 6.7 Powerstroke's, you may have seen or heard of secondary filter housing failures. It's not extremely common, but it is common enough to be a little concerning. Almost exactly a year ago, the NHTSA opened an investigation into Ford for fuel leaks from the secondary filter used on the 6.7L Powerstroke. The filter assembly under the hood was potentially failing, leaking, and causing fires. Apparently, the filter housing simply wasn't designed to handle the pressures the system delivers. There was a small recall back in 2022 for this part, and it appears there's now another. Now, while these issues seem to have been happening since 2021 for many vehicles, the current recall only covers production of less than a month during March 2025. Check the article from  DieselArmy below, and a link to the recall info as well (it is very minimal at this point).

Active Aero Wheels: Ford's Latest Patent

In a world where fuel efficiency requirements are always growing and performance follows right alongside it, efficiency in every form is extremely important. Because of that, active aerodynamics are increasingly common in new vehicles, not just performance models. Now, a new Ford patent suggests this trend could extend to wheels, featuring a movable cover. This cover would automatically adjust, either blocking airflow into the wheel for efficiency or opening to cool brakes during spirited driving or when they overheat. As always, with Ford's patents, we won't know how they decide to use the technology (if at all)for years to come.

Seventy 2 Fast Testing

It’s crunch time for the all-new racing category that’s set to debut at U.C.C. this coming Saturday, and some top-secret prep work is being conducted by invitee, Kendrick Byler. At his local track, Kendrick’s regular cab, four-wheel drive third-gen Cummins went 6.33 and 6.34, both at 109 mph, in the eighth-mile. That’s pretty quick (and fast) for an engine being fed by a T4 turbo spinning a 72mm compressor.

Triple CP3 Front Cover For The 6.7L Power Stroke

In support of its “Jumping Jack Flash” Pro Stock diesel truck customers, Ferenc and Nathan Vegh, Hypermax Engineering developed this billet-aluminum front cover for the 6.7L Power Stroke. The billet piece allows three reverse-driven CP3 high-pressure fuel pumps to be run (in support of 2,000 hp or more), bolts to the factory 6.7L Ford block, and can be used with a wet or dry sump engine. Here, it’s pictured on the Vegh’s new power plant, a dry sump engine complete with billet rocker covers and Hypermax’s rail and oversize line kit. But this is no one-off front cover, the company machines them in-house and offers them to the public. For 6.7L Ford fanatics, it just might be a game-changer.

 

 

Another Day, Another Billet Block at Wagler’s

Is it just us or has there been a lot of billet-aluminum block activity at Wagler Competition Products lately? It seems more and more racers (and pullers) are turning to Wagler power these days, be it Duramax or Cummins-based. In the dirt, the mechanically injected DX460 Duramax in Cummins Killer III continues to give all the inline-six competition fits. In drag racing, Justin Zeigler is on a mission to send his 4x4 Dodge through the eighth-mile in 4.3x seconds under Wagler CX400 Cummins power. And the fastest quarter-mile diesel in the world, Paul Vasko’s Duramax-propelled rail, campaigns a Wagler billet-aluminum replacement engine. Watch one of Wagler’s state-of-the-art, Mazak Integrex i Series CNC machines carve out another billet masterpiece in the link below.
