There is usually that one truck at a show where everyone is like, “holy cow, did you see that thing!” Sometimes that is because the truck is cool, other times it is just hideous. In the case of Trey Ging, it is because of how over the top the truck is.

Ging’s 2nd gen Dodge 2500 is just over the top at every turn. Not only was the truck head and shoulders above all of the other lifted trucks at the NHRDA World Finals Show N Shine, but the attention to detail was impressive.

Probably the first thing that caught our eye was the 24”custom Atlas Spring lift that he and the guys at Unorthodox truck club put on the truck. The lift is actually mated to axles out of a Ford F-350. The axles themselves have been upgraded with 5.39:1 gears with Grizzly lockers. Up front, the hubs have been upgraded to Warn manual locking hubs.

Ging is adamant that he didn’t just build a truck that looks good. It is functional and he wouldn’t drive the truck until it was. So, this is one of the few trucks lifted his high with a functional front driveshaft. That was made possible thanks to High Angle Driveline making a driveshaft that could handle the extreme angle.

To further illustrate his commitment, Ging pulled the engine and has fully built it as well. He estimates that the engine is producing about 800 horsepower on fuel only and should be north of 1,000 with spray. To accomplish this, the p-pumped 24 valve is running a 4,000 rpm governor spring kit (GSK) and 180 Delivery Valves. The lines feeding the injectors are 0.093 inch and feed a set of Mach 8 injectors.

For air, the heads were removed and ported and polished. Before installing with ARP studs, the head was sent out to have o-rings installed. The forced induction is supplied by an Industrial Injection Silver 66 which sends the boosted air through an upgraded intercooler, around the Banks Power high ram intake and past the valves being operated by a Scheid Diesel cam. Air is initially sucked into the charger through an S&B intake and the boost pressure is regulated by a Precision Turbo wastegate.

To keep things cool, Ging added a water methanol kit and a couple stages of nitrous (if a little more power is needed.)

While we were talking to Ging, he mentioned that he has actually had the truck up to 140 mph with its current configuration.

For a little show, spikes were added to all the mounting hardware and he purchased the siren off of a police car! If that isn’t enough, there is a large clevis mounted on the front bumper and an insane crane hook (weights about 325 lbs) mounted out back. When he is at shows, he pulls out a strap that he picked up from an Alco plant.

The inside wasn’t left alone either. The seats have been replaced with racing seats that feature 5 point harnesses. The radio was upgraded and a full custom stereo was added. To keep the rear passengers entertained a drop down DVD player was installed in the headliner and to communicate with the other trucks on the road, a Gallas CB was added.

Making sure that everything is ok under the hood, Ging added a bunch of Glow Shift gauges along the A-pillar as well as up on the headliner. The nitrous bottle is mounted between the driver’s seat and the center console to keep things on the down low (as if people can see in his bed).

This is certainly one truck that has been taken to the extreme. When we asked Ging why so big, his answer was basically that he has to stay above his fellow club members.
