The April 2026 issue of Diesel World is packed with the kind of stories and builds that remind you why diesel culture is so addictive. This month’s cover truck, Ole’ Red, is the OBS Power Stroke everyone grew up dreaming about, and it sets the tone for an issue full of unforgettable machines. Inside, you’ll find everything from a massive monster truck discovered at the Daytona Turkey Run to a rare Spirit of ’76 tractor that finally made its way back home. We dive into big horsepower with Cody Hawk breaking into the 3,000-horsepower club, take a look at a stress free second gen build that proves not everything has to be complicated, and explore what it takes to keep your builds protected with AMSOIL. You’ll also get full event coverage from Daytona Turkey Rod Run and PRI, plus hands on tech including the final assembly of our Stock to Not project and a deep look at S and S Diesel’s CP4 to DCR conversion for the 6.7L Power Stroke. Add in real world audio upgrades, new parts, and plenty of diesel inspiration, and this issue delivers a perfect mix of builds, tech, and stories that make it one you actually want to sit down and read.
