Trucks! attempts a new record for Cummins diesel performance using bully dog’s plug-and-play software, propane injection, and nitrous! This Dodge wrinkles the tires!
On Trucks!, Chevy’s new Colorado gets a 4” skyjacker suspension lift, 35 inch mud terrain tires, stronger brakes, a cold air kit, performance exhaust and a unique hard bed liner that comes in 5 pieces!
Trucks! mission - build a compact V-8 sport truck under $10 grand. Starting with a stock ’95 S-10, the guys lower it with drop spindles, add big brakes and beef up the tranny… now we’re ready for that V8!
The Jeep platform has been around since before Paul & Kevin were born, so they want to give its stodgy look some performance personality. Like they both have, in spades. They are going to dress it up and take it out and go! Follow their installing Edge Products hard parts and electronics to snap the engine awake. Then the stock wheels and tires get tossed for some that won't wince off-road. Next, they give their Rubicon a little bling by bringing the paint back from the dead, and adding a few choice accessories and brightwork. Watch this transformation from wallflower to wall jumper!
Project S-10K continues with the insertion of a GM 350CID V-8 crate engine in the former V-6 engine bay. The Trucksters show you all the steps to make this work -- from re-using the stock front pulleys and driveshaft to fitting headers and a new torque converter. With 300HP and 326 lb-ft of torque now at the ready, this will have plenty of "Sport" to light'em up!
We're adding a safe, sane 100 horses to a 2005 GMC Duramax diesel and it won't break the bank at the pump! It's the Banks PowerPack system from Gale Banks Engineering. Extreme 4x4's Ian Johnson joins Kevin Tetz as our guest wrench while Paul Vinson and Jessi Combs are out looking for a new project truck.
This week on Trucks! it's the start of project Old School. We're taking Ford's classic F-100 and turning it into one mean daily driver. Plus one of the most famous Ford's ever, BIGFOOT! Catch all the action on this episode of Trucks!
Kevin and Paul button up their budget V8 engine swap with a bigger fuel injection, hotter computer, electrical fans and a fabricated exhaust. It won't be easy to finish this project on budget.
With the drive train done, the guys start on cab repair doing the body work and priming without a welder or a spray gun! Then a custom body kit and cowl hood get hung and painted in two-tone!
Think all tall, lifted trucks are slow? No way! Today, the guys are transforming a stock 2006 F-150 into a dual purpose on and off road 4 x 4 by lifting it 6 inches. Then, they're getting better gas mileage by adding electronic upgrades that can also make 400 horsepower! And finally, we're adding some really cool fender flares and 35" tall tires before taking our Stealth truck out and really tearing it up on the pavement and on the trails.
After road testing Project S10-K, the guys return to Project Old School building the drive train... an O'reilly reman 350 with an Edelbrock top end kit, dual quads and a Bowler 4L60E transmission!
This show is packed with info: how-to rebuild a GM 10 bolt rear with posi-traction, building a stainless exhaust, hanging fenders, installing a custom bed and how-to determine wheel offset!
Our '53 F-100 is ready for body and fender work. Kevin shows how-to prep and shoot fiberglass and steel parts. Also we'll show how-to hang fenders, running boards and a custom bed. Last but not least, the guys go into detail on how-to paint a cab!
The guys visit a custom mini truck shop and come away with dark inspiration for their first project, a super low Nissan King Cab with Toyota axle, bags, 4 link, big hoops and mandatory spark plate!
Get the low down on installing an after market air conditioning system in a nostalgic F-100 hot rod pickup. Plus the guys drop in their dual quad 350 and give you tips on adding brake upgrades!
Our super low Nissan King Cab gets its air bags along with the entire air system to raise her up and down. Then rolling on our 20s, we'll tuck'em under Bodybag to drop the frame on the pavement to shoot more sparks than the 4th of July!
We're taking what is considered one of the least desirable Jeeps and making it a true off-road machine. We'll replace a worn out straight 6 with a re-built fuel injected 350 V-8. All this, with a real world budget in mind.
Banks is known for their diesel power, but now, their invading the gas market. In this episode, the Trucks! guys will install their new gas power package into a Ford F-150 and top it off with a supercharger.
In this episode, with the power taken care of, we'll continue our Jeep YJ buildup by getting it up in the air where it belongs with an 8in lift and 37in tires.
Project Old Skool is getting something it didn't get at the factory - air conditioning! We'll also add and new radiator, carpet and a new bench seat worthy of Old Skool.
Project Old Skool is ready for the finishing touches. In this episode, we add a lot of chrome details and a brand new wood bed to our 1953 F-100. We'll also take a trip to Advanced Plating to show you where we get all our custom chrome work done.
The big day is finally here. Project Old Skool hits the streets as we finally get to take our newly re-born hot rod truck out and show it off.
The guys take a look back over the past season to revisit some of favorite Trucks! how-to segments and their favorite mud slinging, tire burning and frame dragging payoffs.
