DIESEL products old & new . . . they are all good!

I want to start featuring some of our sponsor's products people sometimes take for granted or shops should push for more sales!

First up is ARP studs, bolts and fasteners, which has been a standard in our business for many years! Right now they are the only brand for what they do with an exception of a few cheap Asian ripoffs or private label Asian ripoffs. NO ONE does it like ARP who have been supplying the diesel market for many decades.



I always tell people DO NOT turn your tuners up WITHOUT adding performance upgrades and the first is ALWAYS ARP head studs along with some of their other fasteners/bolts.

PLEASE read their instructions for properly installing them, many guys just start screwing them in and not follow the proper steps for secure connections. These guys know what they are doing so read what they have to say about the installation. For shops they are used everyday in many operations but many times discounted in many ways - DON'T - these are premium products with NO competitors!

Great people to deal with on a daily basis ARP has a full support staff and they have invested yearly in many ways in our industry!



Second is a newer company called Stealth Performance Products which offers a module for newer diesel trucks THAT DOES NOT effect the ECM or leave a footprint. If you want to get rid of turbo/pedal lag and pickup a little boost in not only performance but also mileage then try this product.

Anyone can plug these in and immediately see a difference in any brand diesel truck. Backed by great customer service and help when you need it! This Stealth product is perfect for those who do not want a full tuner or wanting to keep it stock for warranty. A great option for a towing truck, recreational or long hauling on highways Stealth can give the truck an added advantage on mountains and hilly ranges.

Many of our competitors have a full blown older diesel truck on the trailer but want a new diesel comfortable truck pulling the trailer for long hauls. This product is a great fit and sale for those applications.

If you have a new truck or your customers have one tell them to try the Stealth Module and see the difference!

Support the companies who support our industry, buy and/or sell them to show how much we appreciate their support.

Why we have safety in place for diesels!

By Larry "Gene" Mohney

Over 12 years DIESEL Motorsports has had safety measures in place for diesel trucks for a reason. It's motorsports! Racing, pulling and dyno competition is dangerous like all motorsports. We are taking the OEM vehicle and making it go faster, higher HP and competing with more power.

These vehicles were not made to do so with their original specifications so we add safety measures as the HP increase in the classes for racing and pulling. They are there to protect the competitor, the enthusiast watching and the sport!


If an accident does happen then the sport is hurt because venues question if they are safe and more important can they get the event insured. 

DIESEL Motorsports has our own SFI techs and insurance made just for diesel competition. NHRA and IHRA does not have classes for diesels so they run under guised classes for protection. Many events are not insured fully for all activities.

You never know when something will go wrong when we are pushing the envelope for more power and torque. Make sure safety measures are in place to not only protect yourself but also the sport.
