| 10/19/26 |  What to Look Out For Buying a Used LML or L5P | We often get asked what new buyers should look out for when purchasing a used 2011-2016 LML or 2017 or newer L5P Duramax. The boys decided to discuss what red flags to pay attention to, what is an instant purchase, and more tips. The boys also discussed the new L5P Y-Bridge that WCFab just launched.

| 10/12/26 |  Do I Really Need 1,000 Horsepower? | We got back from the WCFab Open House and saw so many badass high horsepower trucks throwing down huge numbers on the dyno that it got all three of us thinking; do I really need 1,000 horsepower? The boys discuss the fun of it, what it takes to get there, and the practicality of a diesel truck that powerful. See what Anthony and Chris had to say here! | 34m 03s | ||||||
| 10/5/26 |  Compounds Vs. Single Turbos | Anthony and Chris are back to tackle a topic we often get a ton of questions about: compound turbo kit or single turbo? The boys figured why not bring Nick Priegnitz, Stealth Turbos creator, back on to discuss this topic. We tackle the value of each setup, what works for certain driving styles, and a ton more. Class is in session on turbos! | 45m 45s | ||||||
| 9/30/26 |  The Good, Misses, and More About the 8.3L Mongoose L6P Duramax | Nick Priegnitz | We have a mid-week bonus episode! The boys wanted to get Nick Priegnitz, founder of Calibrated Power/Duramaxtuner, into the podcast to discuss what he and they think of the initial numbers and news on the 8.3L Duramax L6P "Mongoose." They chat about the insanity of the new displacement, what Nick expects to see out of the aftermarket industry, and a hot take on what Nick sees as a miss by the engineers over at GM. There's a ton to talk about on this one. Listen in and give us some of your thoughts on our social channels! What do YOU think about the new 8.3L Duramax? | 41m 10s | ||||||

| 9/21/26 |  Massive Tuning News For Cummins Trucks! | You've probably seen the news; if not, we are going to discuss it in depth on this episode of the Diesel Performance Podcast. EZ Lynk and HP Tuners have eliminated the need to have an unlocked ECM installed. This means no more downtime, a significant cost drop, and no more ECM swaps! Anthony and Chris break down all the details, what this means for the future of tuning, and much more! | 27m 42s | ||||||
| 9/14/26 |  Underpowered Cab and Chassis Diesel Trucks Need Addressing | Chris and Anthony have a specific topic they want to discuss today. Lately, the boys have been fielding a lot of calls and questions regarding how sluggish and underpowered a lot of these big cab & chassis Cummins, Power Stroke, and Duramax trucks are. Many of these owners are purchasing these trucks for towing and hot-shotting larger loads long distances and notice just how much less they have in terms of power, acceleration, and more compared to the regular medium-duty diesel pickup trucks. The guys discuss exactly what they have seen in terms of what these stock cab & chassis trucks drive like and discuss exactly what they've seen others doing to them to solve the issue. | 20m 26s | ||||||
| 9/8/26 |  The Evolution of Stealth Turbos | Dylan Stewart | Chris and Anthony have on Dylan Stewart, Production Manager for Stealth Turbos. They sat down to discuss how much has changed in the Stealth Turbo department in the 8+ years that Dylan has been involved at Calibrated Power. From offering only a 67MM LB7 turbocharger with the Stealth Turbo inception, to having 3 turbos available when Dylan stepped in, to now Stealth Turbos offering 25+ different turbocharger options. From how different the department is, to the development of new products, and more. We talk all thing turbos! | 48m 01s | ||||||

We're also joined by David from Cold Front Diesel to talk about his truck as well(LB7) and their experience at this year's Michigan Miles.

| 8/17/26 |  Revisiting and Perfecting LB7 Tuning | Nick Priegnitz | Chris and Anthony are joined by Nick Priegnitz, founder of Duramaxtuner and Calibrated Power, to discuss what he's been up to specifically with the LB7 (2001-2004 Duramax) platform. The boys over at Calibrated Power have dropped a new LB7 Stealth STR and in the process Nick thought, it would be a good idea to take my two decades worth of tuning knowledge in the vastly evolving world of diesel trucks. With the amount of possible calibrations on the L5P platform (2017-2026), the way you attack building a perfect tune is very different than back in the day with the immense amount of parameters to modify. He sat down to talk with the boys about his tuning advancements on a platform he already pushed to a different level, but if you know Nick like we do, if there is any room to get more out of truck, he is going to push for it. We also discussed turbo development and many more topics. | 30m 16s | ||||||
| 8/10/26 |  Time For A Blast At The Hub City Diesel Truck Challenge 2026 | Anthony and Justin have Riley and Lacey on talking about the fast growing, amazing events for diesel trucks and any auto enthusiast, the 2026 Hub City Diesel Truck Challenge, on this week's episode! We talked about what makes this event one of the premier diesel competitions, how it has grown over the years, and what attendees and competitors can expect this year. We discuss the different events, the trucks and builds that show up, the behind-the-scenes work that goes into putting on a competition of this size, and what it takes to bring the diesel community together for an unforgettable weekend. Whether you're a competitor, a spectator, or just a diesel enthusiast looking for your next event to attend, this episode gives you an inside look at what makes the Hub City Diesel Truck Challenge special. Sled pulls, dirt drags, show n shine, fan dyno, and a burnout road! You don't want to miss this event at the Richland County Firgrounds in Richland Center, Wisconsin October 9th and 10th. We are stoked to get out there and witness some of the wildest trucks. Click the link to learn more about the event: https://hubcitydirtdrags.com/ | 38m 31s | ||||||
| 8/3/26 |  Building, Beating, and Burnouts - Catching Up with Cold Front Diesel | Anthony and Chris have two of our favorite guys on, David and Caden fron Cold Front Diesel. You may remember them breaking records emissions-compliant LML that threw down 706 horsepower and 1,200 FT-LBS of torque. To go completely the other way, the Cold Front boys bought a "winter beater" aka a former plow truck, and these boys are from Northern Michigan, so you do the math. From there the 290,000 mile truck was just too reliable, so they decided to make it a drag and drive truck. This truck was built from many different used parts to the point the boys named it Project Hand Me Down. Our crew talked to them utilizing it for Sick Summer 2026 and the upcoming Sick Michigan coming up this month (August). From breaking the truck doing burnouts to running their diesel shop up north, we talked about it all! | 41m 55s | ||||||
| 7/27/26 |  Engineering New Levels of Power and Reliability with Aftermarket Turbochargers | This week the boys wanted to discuss how much the industry has pushed diesel truck modifications to a different level. Turbo technology has drastically chaged for the good. Today's chargers are handling more power than ever while delivering better reliability and durability than what was possible just a few years ago. Anthony and Chris discuss how much advancement we've seen, a few fallacies (smaller wheel is bad, bigger is better), and roll into Nick Priegnitz discussing the stock turbo charger of the L5P versus an L5P Stealth STR comparing power, spool, and more! | 26m 28s | ||||||
