Diesel Truck Builds/Repairs

Built Not Bought, Fixed Not Forgotten

At Plowboy Diesel, wrenching on diesel trucks isn’t just something we do—it’s who we are. Whether it’s a custom twin-turbo build for the show floor or tracking down a hard-to-find issue on a daily driver, our shop is where old-school work ethic meets next-level performance.

We’ve seen it all. From trucks that limp into the shop coughing black smoke to ground-up builds that require every nut, bolt, and weld to be custom-fabbed. What ties every project together is the same goal: reliability, performance, and pride.

The Daily Grind

Not every truck that rolls into our shop is headed to SEMA—and that’s just fine by us. Some are bone-stock workhorses that need a new turbo, head gasket, or a full injection system overhaul. Others are weekend warriors with power goals and blown transmissions.

We’ve rebuilt 12-valve Cummins motors from the crank up. We’ve tuned Duramax trucks for perfect towing power. And we’ve turned Power Strokes with more trouble codes than miles into reliable, hard-pulling rigs. Each repair is done with the same attention to detail as our wildest builds.

Big Builds, Bigger Dreams

We live for the wild stuff, too. Full air ride setups. Custom piping. Compound turbos. Trucks that don’t just run—they scream. Some of our favorite builds have been forged in long nights, cold beers, and sparks flying off the grinder.

Each one starts the same way: an idea and a frame. From there, it’s fuel systems, air management, drivetrain planning, and fabrication work that turns steel into something unforgettable.

Whether it's:

  • A twin-engine setup in a 1970 Sweptline,

  • A street-tuned 6.7L Cummins with a monster single turbo,

  • Or a Duramax swapped classic squarebody—

We make it happen.
