Wa$ted Wages Diesel Performance

05/07/2025

After Trav spent almost a year saying he was selling CliMAX, he decided just two weeks prior to .dieselfest that he wanted to go racing….. which also involved completely changing the turbo setup. Down to the last minute, we got the truck ready to go PLAY! Super happy with how well the truck ran, especially since it was not at all tested and the tuning was turned down. These videos are the last two races of the day. Trav is currently NOT telling me to list the truck for sale….. 🤷🏼‍♀️😉

A little Friday night fun!! This truck hadn’t been out of the shop since May so it was nice to get CliMAX out to stretch her legs…. for what Trav says is their “last hurrah”! Yes, we are talking about selling this truck, so if you know of anyone looking for one badass Duramax drag truck that still has so much more potential for even quicker passes- have them get in touch with us.

A little SxS action! 😎 In the 20+years we have been playing on the dunes, we have never seen so much water! Trav knows a guy who completely submerged his UTV out there….. 😳 Anyway…… LOVE the sound of the new turbo on this machine!!!

Fun fact: Trav and I spent our first Easter together, playing on the dunes! That was 18 years ago. After this machine had been sitting in our shop for two ye...

What an awesome Easter!! Finally got this machine back together after sitting in the back of the shop for two years, and let that turbo SING on the SAND! But….. we have decided to sell this machine…. Sitting for two years made us realize that while we have a blast driving it, we can live without it… So this machine is FOR SALE. Get her before we continue putting miles on her (aftermarket motor with about 900 miles on it with lots of go-fast parts- of course), and possibly change our minds..

CliMAX has been tucked away in the shop for two months but we finally got the chance to take the short drive to Coos and play!

Took CliMAX to Coos Bay on July 22nd to have some fun!

Took CliMAX down to Redding for the NHRDA Nor Cal Diesel Nationals. Finally, no quirks! The truck ran awesome and despite the heat down there, we had a great...
