This is why some people who call them self’s “tuners” should just walk away.

Another fresh overhaul. Ole Cummins Big cam 400.. Set the cam boxes for max timing. Set liner protrusion right at max.. This ole girl is running better than new.

05/04/2019

Farm Truck

We would like to introduce everyone to "farm truck" it is a true farm truck completly stock 2WD 1994. Bed off getting ready for four link rear, we adjusted the fuel but much more to come!!! We got busted by our neighbor on his scurity camera..

Check out this Quigley 4X4 van. Came in with coolant dripping out of the exhaust. (EGR Cooler). Also has compression in the cooling system. Found HG blown on both sides in multiple places. Ended up getting the full treatment, including a full engine block flush to get the oil/coolant out. Van is back up and running great!

The very distinct sound of a 2nd gen swap.

Cummins 6.7 2nd gen swap first drive... Taking it easy but still sounds awesome!

03/06/2019

This nice 4th gen came in after the factory VGT turbo failed, also had coolant pushing out from around the head studs. Customer decided it was time do 2nd gen swap. Due to HG issues on the 6.7 we installed new O-ring head 103# valve springs, HD push tubes, 625 studs, turbo kit from Industrial S464 (stock fuel).

Double R Diesel

We have recently become dealers for the MM3 tuners using the Double R Diesel custom tuning. On the Cummins powered 4th gen trucks this is hands down the most reliable, efficient tuning yet. And yes this includes you chassis/cab guys

Custom Tuning and Performance Parts for the 2007.5 – Current 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel Engine for RAM Heavy Duty Trucks.

02/21/2019

DT466 came in with low power issues and smoke, another shop attempted to fix it with a new down pipe clamp.... don’t think this is going to fix this one.

02/21/2019

Rough go at the shop when two 6.0 vans come in for injectors and HPO rail reseal.

11/17/2018

Cummins 6.7.... this seems to be the progression of life... from dropped valve to blown HG to all new with cut o ring #103 lb springs. Give us a shout ask about the o ring head options for the Cummins 6.7 and ford 6.0/6.4

11/17/2018

2017 ram getting ready for some new bumpers we got the kits from move bumpers. Each bumper is custom fit to the truck, we take the time to make sure the end result matches customer expectation.

11/17/2018

VP-44 pump failed so it’s time for upgrade. Put Industrial injection hot rod pump, 100 hp injectors, three piece Manifold with S 362. Truck ran great EGT 1100 at WOT minimum smoke and great drivability.

11/17/2018

Dodge life...

11/17/2018

Pulling the engine out of “donor” truck to get the tow truck back on the road. Yup pulled the ole 6.4 with cab on pulled the cab on the tow truck to make easier.

11/17/2018

Cummins 6.7.... two different trucks came in with almost the exact failures back to back. Both valve seats were still in the head the exhaust valve heads broke clean off the stem.

11/17/2018

We also do in house counter boar cutting. This one was a C-15 blowing head gaskets. Block deck was way out we cut it, shimmed and reassembled.

11/17/2018

Crazy busy summer!!! Some of the projects completed. Here we go with a 6.0 removing the VGT going to a s364 with injectors and warren diesel tunes to match. (Already bulletproof).

Aftermath of failed injector and continued to run it...

02/18/2018

Here is an engine that most people dot know about, or know even exists. Here is the rarely seen DT275. Take a ford 6.0”DT365” lop off two cylinders and ad the6.4turbo compound turbo set up. Obviously resized to work with the small displacement.

There are times when repairs are flawed by Parts issues. This is an overhaul that was performed by us a couple months ago. Customer complaint of oil consumption. Engine is a DD5 series 60 14l. Confirmed blow by was out of spec, pulled the head and found severe scoring on the cylinders. Pulled pistons and liners pistons, rings completely carbon packed. All parts were checked for improper installation, it was found that the wrong prisons were put in the overhaul kit. We stood to our warranty, replaced all liners, pistons ,rings no cost to the customer. Regardless of who made the mistake it needs to be taken care of!!!! We stand behind our work.

02/18/2018

First bulletproof in the new shop. This truck came to us half torn apart. Pulled the heads and found multiple cylinders with blown fire rings cooling system full of soot. Surfaced the heads, new injectors,LPOP, HPOP re seal,oil cooler,studs,SCTX4 tune, blue spring, EGR delete,HHC seals, oil connectors, updated standpipes, coolant filter, water pump,Customer uses the truck to haul work trailers and needs reliability.

02/18/2018

Well we finally have a home!! Long time in the making. One of the first things installed is the American flag! Followed by the shop equipment of course.

Here at NDP we know the #1 reason we all have diesels is simply for the power with reliability! If that was not important we would go buy a gas truck. Before we stand behind anything it must be proven! Here we are installing the DPS stocker twin kit on the 4th gen work truck. The reason is well.. this truck gets worked and the HE351VE was not flowing enough, sending the EGT and drive pressure trough the roof. We chose the BW S480 with billet wheel due to prior modifications studs,100 HP nozzles etc... The kit came from DPS the fitment and quality was excellent. So far this has been on the truck for over 20k miles no leaks, problems, no adjustments have been made. We wanted to keep the set up the same and test. EGT drop of over 500 degrees drive pressure halved! Next up tuner reviews.

12/13/2017

Finished up and delivered back to the customer. Pete 379 with a CAT 3406E. Engine had severe blow by and was rolling the white smoke. Pulled down found the air cleaners not sealing. Engine got a fresh bottom end along with cut counter boars to bring up liner protrusion. Due to a recent prior overhaul everything else was disassembled cleaned and checked.
