The Diesel Page 2004 Rendezvous
http://www.thedieselpage.com/rendez/ren04.htm
Beautiful weather and an interesting mix of both trucks and people marked this year's annual Rendezvous. Friday, July 16th, found us participating in US Diesel Parts' portion of the event at their location in Missoula, Montana. Saturday, July 17th, included several additional activities at the Jellystone campground. Follow along as we hit the highlights of this year's TDP Rendezvous.
LLY Duramax 6600 Marine Diesel
By Tullio Celano & TDP Staff
http://www.thedieselpage.com/members/features/celano.htm
For the past few months, I have been working on a project that included installing an '04 LLY Duramax 6600 in a 1983 26' Corsa offshore race boat. The engine is mated to an overbuilt Borg-Warner Velvet Drive transmission and a Mercruiser Super Speedmaster III drive. Working through the electrical/electronic issues for such a conversion was perhaps the most daunting, but I was successful in producing what may be the first privately owned marinized Duramax 6600.
1967 Ford Highboy
Cummins Diesel Conversion

We visited Davis Diesel in Spokane, Washington recently to collect some performance data on their chassis dyno. While there, I found this Ford-Cummins project in the shop area. Jeff Davis (Davis Diesel owner) has been working on this truck for some time now, and should be delivering it to the customer before long. The truck began life as a 1967 Ford F250 4x4, referred to as a "High-Boy" by those who recognize the tall stance of those model-year trucks. This is an interesting project, and one that is getting some first-rate fabrication.
Pull-Off V - July 2004
GM, Ford or Dodge? - Determining Braggin' Rights!
By Jim Bigley
http://www.thedieselpage.com/features/pulloff04.htm
The truest test of diesel pickup performance can only come when run on a real hill and with a real load. After all, most diesel pickup buyers bought their truck to tow trailers. Launching from a dead stop, then running full-pedal with a 10K+ loaded trailer for a measured mile on a 6% grade helps to separate fact from ad hype. Go here to find out whether GM, Ford or Dodge gets the braggin' rights.
