Definitely a great source for Diesel content. Great info to learn from

Even though I don’t know Patrick and Chris personally they have taught me a wealth of knowledge about the diesel industry. By listening to these guys I am able to keep my passion for the diesel industry. Have referred to their podcast many times when struck with issues on my 2012 Ford 6.7.

Best podcast for dirtymax’s... learned a ton about diesels, tuning, and what not to do. 5 stars.

PS; If you drive a power stroke, you and your boyfriend should try a different podcast after you finish painting each other’s toe nails.
