Do you live in one? Or are you unfortunate?

It seems that Salt Lake City is one of America’s biggest hot-spots for diesels. Home to Industrial Injection, Twisted Diesel Conversions, the Diesel Power Challenge, and (a lot) of lifted diesel trucks sold at local dealerships, it seems like a shoo-in for one of the top cities.

Hemet, California seems to be a hot spot for diesels, at least the closest one to us at Diesel Power. And, although it isn’t a city, the entire state of Ohio seems to be a hot bed for diesels. Of course, Cummins’ main headquarters being located there (Columbus) doesn’t hurt things. Any time you live in a place where a sled pull is scheduled every day, which is the case in Ohio for the entire month of September, I’d say that’s a diesel hot bed.

Is your town a prime spot for diesels?

1. Nope, I live in Laguna Niguel, CA, and the only diesels belong to the contractors and the UPS truck drivers. Oh, but there is one dude in my neighborhood with a 7.3 Excursion...

2. I live in Maysville, Ga, and there are diesels everywhere. Not many hopped up diesels though. Most of them are stock, and if they have modifications most of them are a small lift and straight-pipes, maybe a tuner of some kind. There are a few diesel monsters. One of my buddys is friends with Jeff Garmon, a diesel drag racer from down south georgia, so he has a few real quick trucks, they are all work trucks for his pressure washing business so they pull big goosenecks, but he has an 06 dodge 2500 on 11 inches of lift that will still fly, and even burn rubber until about 40 mph if he wants it to! Must be nice to have money...
