Stand-Alone Common-Rail Computer - Cummins ECM
Our wish for the new year has been granted. Destroked has released its Zeus stand-alone Cummins ECM (engine control module) for common-rail Cummins owners looking for complete control over their engines. The computer simply plugs into the factory wiring harness and works with all the stock sensors and the stock cam gear. A full-manual mode allows end users to tweak pulse width, injection timing, and injection pump duty cycle-all in real time. Other key features of this new Cummins ECM are a built-in data logger, unlimited rpm range, and five on-the-fly adjustability settings for tuning. Units should price at $3,800.

Stock Turbo, More Power
If your '03 to '07 6.0L Power Stroke is making more than 400 hp and needs increased airflow, you don't have to ditch the stock turbo. Turbo Engineering Corp upgrades everything internally, so you don't have to invest in new flanges and exhaust manifold plumbing. It claims its three different stages of modified turbochargers can support 450 hp to 750 hp. According to Turbo Engineering Corp, you'll still experience quick spool-up (thanks to retaining the variable-geometry exhaust housing), observe a cooler exhaust gas temperature, and see an increase of 2 to 4 mpg.

Ultimate Alternator
DC Power Engineering manufactures high-quality, high-output alternators for Duramax-powered Chevys and GMCs, as well as Ford Power Strokes. Its units are made using special-wound, heavy-duty stator windings, which provides great low-speed output and cooler operating temperatures than the competition. DC Power's alternators are also built with heavy-duty rectifiers in massive aluminum heat sinks for optimal current transfer, heat dissipation, and a long service life. All of its alternators produce 2/3 of their total output at idle. Alternators are available in 190-amp, 230-amp, and 270-amp outputs.

Turn It Into Fuel
Bluegrass Fuel Systems has designed a simple, effective way to turn used motor oil, transmission fluid, hydraulic fluid, crude oil, vegetable oil, and gear oil into a usable muti-fuel blend. Its TF1000 model (shown) is a 16-gallon system designed to produce 32 gallons of fuel per hour. All of its systems remove any acids, antifreeze, or water then filter the final fuel blend down to 1 micron. From there, diesel fuel can be added to achieve the desired viscosity.

Seeing Is Believing
Say goodbye to drop lights. The new Creeper Light from ProZee Concepts may change the way you work on your truck and allow your underbody illumination to move when you move. It's equipped with 118 LED lights and mounts on most 17-inch-wide, straight-metal creepers. The LED lights are powered by a rechargeable 3.7v lithium-polymer battery, which allows the light to stay illuminated for four to eight hours.
