Project Trucks: Page 2

This month marks Part 2 of our 2002 Volkswagen Jetta TDI project. This time, America’s favorite little diesel continues to climb the horsepower ladder, thanks to the latest BorgWarner turbocharger available for ALH engines.

For Part 9 of this series, we’ve reached a tipping point with our 6.0L Power Stroke project.

Going fast is fun, but doing so in a beat-up interior is no fun at all. This update, we address the comfort and good-looks side of things.

We’re going to install a Fabtech 8-inch lift kit, which will provide the room needed to place our intended 37-inch tires under the 2007 Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD.

The Volkswagen Jetta TDI has been immensely popular for years, this month marks the first time we’ve experimented with one here at Diesel Power.

Over the next several months we’ll take you through the process of adding more power and performance to our 2007 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 Duramax V-8, giving the truck a more aggressive stance, and digging into the interior to give our hauler a more luxurious feel.

Since rescuing our 1985 Ford Ranger from a field in Kansas and relocating it to Southern California, we’ve been busily working to restore it to the status of a reliable daily driver.
