We Talk About Trucks
The Diesel Performance Podcast is a conversation, debate, and everything else about the three main domestic diesel engines: Duramax, Powerstroke, and Cummins. Hosts Paul Wilson and Chris Ehmke cover topics every diesel owner wants to know. If you love diesel engines and light duty pickup trucks - you've found the perfect podcast.
America's Diesel Podcast was born from pure diesel enthusiasm. Ben Little and Tyler Lucas have decades of experience in the diesel industry and are passionate about light-duty diesel trucks. From technical topics and fantasy builds to industry news, they tell you what you need to know, why you need to know it, and how to apply it.
Stories and Current events dealing with Trucking, Hot Shoting and RV Transport and even random people I meet out on the open highway
