What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Found you guys recently as I just picked up my first personal diesel truck. I have used diesel trucks for years on the farm but never had my own personal one. Lots of good info in these podcasts that help steer me in the right direction for fluids and fuel treatment. Love how you support the industry but don’t forget there are more than the big 3. I’m driving a 16’ Titan XD with a Cummins it’s a great truck!

Chris Rothrock · Mar 2023

Not just the best Diesel Podcast, but best podcast overall. Great topic and interviews. Never asks to give 5 stars (unlike others), or talk more about their personal stuff the diesel trucks… which is why we are listening. Keep up the awesome work.

SailorJay8 · Dec 2022

Love all the content. Sounds cheesy but the episode about rolling coal and how it effects mainstream views on diesels did open my eyes on that side of things. I’d be curious to see your thoughts on an episode on the efficiency of the tdi vs the power of the big trucks
