Cane harvester engine threw a leg outta bed and needed major work 🫡

Repairs included replacing the block, head, and crank. After a complete rebuild, we ran it up today and made sure it's ready to go.

Happy to see the engine running as new again and ready to go back to work 🌾

As experts in Detroit engines, we assist our fellow mechanics when specialised work is needed.

Today, we're setting the timing on a DD15 engine.

Today, we paid tribute to Craig Woodcroft by adding his name to the Lights on the Hill Trucking Memorial. While he’s no longer with us, he will always be remembered 🕊️

This weekend held special meaning for us in more ways than one. We are excited to introduce “Tubbs,” our first big rig, who proudly joined the 600- truck convoy on Saturday.

MULTI-MAP TUNES / GHOST CAM OPTION

We are now offering multi-map tunes for your pre egr series 60 engines.

What this means is you will have a switch in the cab, which you can select between 3 different hp ratings WHILE you’re driving. We have different options to choose from too.

This is our fuel saver option:

500hp@1650ft
550hp@1850ft
600hp@2050ft

We have had great results with fuel consumption on our fuel saver option.

This is our power option:

505hp@1850ft
600hp@2050ft
650hp@2250ft

We can tailor what hp ratings to your needs. We can add a ghost cam option so the truck will lump away at idle

POA As prices may vary depending on options

NOTE: these videos show the trucks blowing excessive smoke this is purely for show and our hp files do not overfuel and smoke like this
