Lavon really does like to help people anyway possible in this sport. A lot more so than other “big” name companies, I remember a few years ago,when I was still working for my old boss. He has a compound turbo lb7 duramax with a 48re swap and we had a issue with the trans (built by a very reputable “big” brand that was also at the event) and we spoke with the trans builder and owner of “said”company and got the response of “just pull it and send it to the shop next week we’ll get it figured out”. Us being pitted diagonal to lavon and the guys, we decided to ask lavon what his thoughts were on the issue and he told us exactly what the issue was (confirmed by said trans builder weeks later). It wasn’t something we could have fixed that day, but the fact that lavon openly explaining what the issue was, what caused it , and how to prevent it in the future vs what the actual trans builders response of” just send it to the shop will fix it and send it back”.just speaks volumes to how authentic lavon and the firepunk guys are to helping guys trying to have fun in this sport

Levon Miller is a super nice guy we drove all the way from Texas to get our built truck on there dyno those guys are super cool that’s the craziest shop I’ve ever been too ! Much love guys

[@dwight072]

Great stuff guys.

[@savagefabrication795]

Maybe for the ucc video: the mechanical injection dyno motor that had been engine dynoed to well above the number it did on the roller I remember over hearing and or other people saying either the roller couldn’t load it hard enough or something to do with the throttle pushing back on you so hard that it couldn’t get to full fuel. Would be cool to hear about that story with more clarification/details. It was definitely the top of the talk when fire punk swapped in this motor for the dyno event for a long time. Thanks for the videos :)

[@buckshot927tx]

YUSS!!!

[@aaronacord6860]

Yes please loved that setup

[@Erikclaw1]

You guys brought up a lot of memories. Naked bike boy at the ATS shop, the rain bs at the track, it was a lot of fun back then. I miss those days, i need to come out and visit you guys

[@lynmiller8352]

Yes, you need to. It would be good to hang out again!

[@emanuelyoder1668]

The first I heard of Firepunk was after y'all won second dpc when the neighbor kid, Brandon Miller, got ahold of a DVD of the challenge and invited us over to watch it😁 y'all have been a inspiration ever since! 👍🇺🇲🦅

[@jesserasso1042]

Yea you guys are like Russ from maximum diesel in San jacinto CA

[@imBarty]

sweet type of video

[@hadenjohnson2183]

I remember watching dpc each year drooling over all the cool pickups. Looked like a super awesome event

[@user-el4ii7zq6l]

Stoneburner was the best how high was he!

[@buckshot927tx]

Man I’m enjoying these! Thanks y’all!

[@bernhard8540]

You guys see Josh "horsetorque diesel" video of one of you guys golden nugget trannys that lasted 8 years of hard abuse and the only thing that happened was the intermediate shaft broke haha it looked great other than that haha thats awesome to have a tranny you built last that long through absolute mayhem haha thats why I am ordering a rebuild kit and some other goodies for my 48 from you guys ❤️❤️❤️

[@LMDiesel]

Watched the whole thing! Love the stories!

[@N.A.J.]

Great video series. The details and stories remembered do impress me. Not sure I'd remember details from 7-8 years ago. Maybe some discussion about the engine that exploded on the engine dyno. Where it was to be used, the setup, what was learned from it. Don't forget, CompD is still around. Slow, but still there. Come visit some time. Thanks for taking the time to do these.

[@johnhebard9461]

Your DMAX wouldn’t crank because the fuel return lines aren’t under enough pressure to allow the injectors to open. Unplug the return line and apply air pressure while cranking.

[@jimmungai1938]

Hey Levon I appreciate you guys‘s quality in your builds and your good demeanor and you’re you are true credit to the industry and those two fellas are sitting with you very good guys also it just seems like in this sport with the diesel trucks it seems like things are people more of a family anyhow this is six in a row jim From Kennerdell Pennsylvania I got to go I got a walk the dog he’s my little buddy specializes in lovey-dovey and mischief 00 you are so bad bear you are you from you I didn’t realize I was still recording

[@Thesongstaysthesame]

My friend Danick Met Banean for the first time, that in itself is good for a video 😆

[@dorianclinton3740]

[@lyndonhamby7432]

[@MrBillycan1]

[@granthanson9626]

[@jacobschillig7290]

Lynn mentioned a "drag week feeling" have you guys ever thought about doing a drag and drive event in the quad cab or another truck?

[@jonkern2325]

I had the diesel power magazines w both years. Sadly they’re gone now..one thing that stuck out to me when I 1st saw the quad cab was the 4th gen tail gate on it.

[@curtisjames9081]

That’s why if anyone asks me anything about a dodge diesel I always tell them firepunk diesel you guys were so good to me when I came down and had the trans done.

[@toddsculley2710]

Awesome show guys

[@alexkublitskiy]

You guys are freakin awesome!!!

[@michaelhibbs4717]

[@calebgross3632]

[@stephencontillo3521]

Really like this series. Cool to see the history of your business.

[@michaelhibbs4717]

I just want my truck to perform right when I go get Haley and like if we’re going to go down to Scottsdale Arizona taking some Arabian horses down to show him I have a 2008 three-quarter ton dodge ram mega cab and I’m trying to get this truck up in working order I don’t want to sell it just because I like that 67 Cummins in it I just wanted to work for me

[@daltonshewmaker722]

Around the 2015 2016 time you guys were also coming down to Louisville Kentucky for all day diesel day at Ohio Valley raceway

[@blaleakridge8481]

Watching this only make what work for you guys more

[@2006morg]

Seems like just a few years ago that I had to back your Dads trailer in the lane because you guys never backed anything! Good times for sure!

[@moparblood]

really appreciate and enjoy your stories. My question is what made you decide between lets say Wagler, Carrillo, and D&J rods. any stories about those type decision in building?

[@Erikclaw1]

Damn got called out! lmfao I dont remember being secretive and well it didnt work out. I do remember you guys practicing backing the trailer in the parking lot. Good times, but did you beat me in the obstical course???Yes you did I took out all the cones at the last back up and blew it. Or i had you! lol

[@FirepunkDiesel]

Haha, forgot to mention your wastegated triple turbo setup sounded like Chewbacca on the dyno

[@FirepunkDiesel]

And didn't mention Banean putting his balls on your bumper at the hotel parking lot the first time he saw your truck... Lol

[@Erikclaw1]

@@FirepunkDiesel lmao no shit, you guys were calling it that and I had no idea wtf you were talking about til I heard it on a video

[@builtbyme]

These are cool videos. I like the history, especially wondering how the name started, and where you guys started. Awesome content, and ready for more.

[@jameshines9740]
