2003 Ford Excursion
Nathan Owen has a lot of pride in his 2003 6.0L Power Stroke Ford Excursion. He’s put a lot of work and upgrades into it, such as a 58v Fuel Injection Control Module (FICM), Blue Spring update kit and 4-inch MBRP exhaust, and those improvements help him use it as a workhorse, carrying carpentry tools and lumber around for his job on top of it being his daily driver.
“Looks amazing and drives like a dream,” Nathan says of his truck.
Nathan’s upgrades include a TSD tune, Dieselsite water pump with coolant and oil bypass. He’s also put in a 200amp alternator, aFe stage 2 momentum air filter, stage 1 PowerMax turbo and alpha dog aluminum hot and cold charge pipes. To add some flair, Nathan added 12 rock lights and a 1-inch leveling kit.
As far as future plans go, Nathan put it quite simply: “Keep ripping on it!!”
2005 GMC Sierra 3500
This fully-built LLY Duramax has seen more of the country than most people, having been driven coast to coast three times. It has a single S480, 350hp injectors, showcases 1300hp, was featured in SEMA 2012 and can run a quarter mile in 11 seconds.
Rich uses this truck as a testament to single charger capabilities as well as to tow when needed. He also wants to use it in as many competitions as he can.
“Never doubt your abilities,” Rich says. “You are capable of far more than ever dreamt when life demands more than you ever imagined.”
His goal going forward? Try not to break it.
1996 Ford F250
Marc Vigna uses his 1996 Ford F250 for just about everything. He daily drives it, uses it for drag racing, pulling trailers and more. This isn’t a truck collecting dust in a garage either. Marc’s father bought it brand-new in 1996 and they’ve been putting in the work ever since.
“It’s a never-ending project,” Marc said. “I wouldn’t change anything about it though.”
It’s been lifted 4 inches and upgraded to a NV4500 transmission.
“The truck has taken me everywhere and I met so many great people, either in person or online, because of it. A lot of hard work and support through family, fiancé and friends,” he continued. “It wouldn’t be where it’s at without them.”
In the future Marc hopes to install a rear locker and Stroker CP3 injector nozzles.
