We just picked up a $11,000 Second Gen 24V Cummins VP44 truck, and it’s about to become our ultimate tow rig test mule! In this video, we surprise Meyer with the newest addition to the Power Driven Diesel fleet and get his unfiltered first impressions. From air ride seats and factory VP44 pump to a leaky exhaust manifold and questionable transmission, this truck might be rough around the edges—but it’s packed with potential. Our goal? Turn this budget buy into a reliable, dialed-in towing machine that represents what a VP44 truck can be with the right upgrades.
We’ve got big plans for this build, including installing a Quadzilla tuner, testing a ported cylinder head, upgrading injectors and turbos, rebuilding the transmission, and swapping the exhaust. Of course, we’ll also do before-and-after dyno testing to show real-world results. Whether you’re a VP44 fan, a 24V Cummins owner, or just love a good diesel transformation, this is a build you’ll want to follow.
Let us know in the comments what mods or tests you want to see us do with this truck, and help us name it! We’re leaning toward “Not Your Grandpa’s Tow Truck,” but we want to hear your ideas. Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and turn on notifications so you don’t miss any of the action as we turn this VP truck into the ultimate daily tow rig with a little spice.
