Other: Jason says, “My dad and I run a business together, which involves towing heavy loads. We used to use Chevy trucks powered by 454ci gas engines until we got our first diesel (a ’97 Dodge 1-ton dualie regular cab). We were both hooked immediately, and over the years we’ve owned eight different Dodge diesels. My favorite modifications are the Dynatrac Free-Spin hub conversion, and the fact that we rebuilt the engine. Our Cummins now displaces 6.1L and features ARP head studs.”
