Most of the companies use their parts tucks as a tools. When we see a thread on the Cummins Forum documenting RevMax Performance Converters’ build up of their parts truck, we had to take a look.
They plan on building their parts truck and putting some serious horse power with it. This is not a work truck turned toy either. Choices were made many times during the build, because they planned on keeping the truck in service for deliveries.
Next time when they are late for some delivery, they really will have no excuses with over 1,000 HP under the hood.
The overhaul started in late June or early July and has progressed nicely over the past 6 months. This truck is a 2008 Ram 2500 that has under the hood a 6.7 liter Cummins. Because the truck is a delivery truck type, it is 2WD, sports a long bed, has a regular cab, but has only 140k on the odometer.
Thanks to RevMax’s 68RFE program getting a substantial makeover, this all started. The main goal is to become the fastest delivery truck in the United States. The plan is to utilize the help of RevMax for the tranny, Hamilton Diesel for the engine, and then source everything else locally in Charlotte, NC. When they finish the truck, they hope it will be in the 10 second range and have more than 1000 HP under the hood.

Why a 1,000 HP and not the 850 HP? The 1,000 runs different overall line pressure and line pressure settings. This built vehicle is about having fun and it looks that RevMax is having fun.
The major problem that they have now is the traction. While getting sideways is always interesting, that maybe is not the best idea for a delivery truck. With this kind of power, major rear suspension changes will be made, but they are limited for suspension and tire because this will still be their delivery truck.
They are running CalTracs and QA1 adjustable shows from Calvert Racing. The truck has a full roll cage, but it looks to be about it for safety/traction modification.
There was installed an SRT10 hood. The grill, bumpers and other parts were painted white. Even white Rigid Industries LED light bar and fog lights were installed. There is a rumor of adding a wrap down the road, but for now, all is white.
The interior audio system is being replaced. In, the front doors are mounted a set of 6.5” Polk Audio components, and 5.25” parts are mounted behind the seats. Two 10” JL Audio W1’s subs are being mounted in a custom box and it is being made to work around the roll cage. The power of everything is a JL700/5V2 amp.
