HOUSTON, TX
Custom ECM tuning, compound turbos, and full fuel system builds for Cummins, Power Stroke, and Duramax. Platform-specific work done right — or not done at all.
Six Capabilities.
Three Platforms.
Platform-specific performance builds for the Cummins, Power Stroke, and Duramax. Everything on this list runs deeper than a bolt-on and a canned tune.

We Don't Tune
Everything.
We Tune What
You're Running.
Every platform has its own power ceiling, its own failure chain, and its own set of variables that change what the correct build looks like. A Cummins isn't a Power Stroke. An LML isn't an L5P. The right answer on one truck is the wrong answer on the next one over. We know the difference because we've pulled the data on all three.
The platform with the highest enthusiast ceiling in diesel performance nationally. We build 5.9 12-valve and 24-valve, 6.7 compound to full sled pull — and we know exactly where the CP3 runs out and what has to change when it does.
Common Build ElementsThe 6.4 wants compound turbos and a proper EGR delete before a tune ever gets written. The 6.7 wants a CP4-to-CP3 conversion addressed before anything else. We don't treat them the same. They're not the same truck.
Common Build ElementsThe LBZ is an injector platform — the factory units fail under power and you need to know the threshold before you push it. The LML has DPF considerations that change the build path. The L5P has tuning constraints that require specific software. Three distinct conversations.
Common Build ElementsTHE DYNO SHEET
DOESN'T LIE.
There are a lot of ways to put a number on paper. A canned tune on a stock truck pulls a number. A mail-order file on a platform with 140,000 miles and an upgraded turbo pulls a different number. The difference isn't in the software — it's in whether anyone actually looked at your truck.
Every build we complete leaves with a before-and-after dyno sheet. Not as a marketing asset. Because it's the only honest confirmation that the work held up under load. You know what you came in with. You know what you left with.

THE BUILD
STARTS IN
THE SHOP.
Most shops will quote you over the phone or send an estimate based on what you describe. That's not how this works. Bring your truck in. We'll look at what you're running, talk through your build goals, and give you real answers based on what's actually in front of us — not what you think is in front of us.
Phone and email work too, and we use both. But the builds that go right start with an in-person conversation and eyes on the actual platform.
By submitting, you agree to be contacted by Drop Forged Diesel by phone or text. We do not sell or share your information.
"They pulled my truck three times to get the tune dialed. Never had a shop do that."
