The Max Effort Diesel Journey

From Passion to Performance

Hello, my name is Kade Gaither, and I am the founder and owner of Max Effort Diesel.

I started this business after spending over 10 years working on diesel trucks and chasing performance. What began as a personal passion quickly grew into something more, helping others build trucks that not only perform but are built with purpose and precision.

At Max Effort Diesel, I specialize in building high-horsepower diesel trucks tailored to each customer’s specific needs. Whether you're into sled pulling, dirt drags, drag racing, or just want a strong, reliable daily driver, I work one-on-one with you to make sure your build delivers exactly what you’re looking for.

Every project I take on reflects the same mindset: if you're going to do it, do it with max effort.
