As fuel prices constantly rise and diesel fuel becomes an ever more attractive alternative, light truck and SUV manufacturers are responding by building some of the most efficient and powerful diesel engines ever offered.

While a stock diesel engine can be more efficient and powerful than a standard gasoline engine, it can be tuned and modified for even better performance.

Standard diesels, bio-diesels, and ethanol blends have drastically changed the landscape of the truck and SUV market. And aftermarket products can provide nearly any combination of performance, speed, and efficiency.

With so much technology and so many choices, tuning your engine can be a challenge.

Diesel expert Ben Watson has been an instructor, a mechanic, a technician, and an author for over 30 years. He shares his wealth of experience in Diesel Performance Handbook for Pickups & SUVs. Watson discusses everything from interpreting your vehicle's computer codes and adjusting the fuel mapping to simple bolt-on products that will increase the performance of your engine.
