Company History
Diesel Performance Engineering is a family owned and operated business, founded by Rodney and Darla Davison in 2003.
Rodney and Darla both had their unique starts in the diesel industry. Darla was born and raised in the business, watching her parents run their very own shop, and working in it herself after high school. Rodney first met Darla through her family’s diesel shop. Rodney started out as just a customer but soon the two began to date. After Rodney graduated college, he was offered a job working at Darla’s parent’s shop. Soon after, Rodney and Darla were married.
Through lots of hard work and dedication, Rodney has been certified by the Fuel Injection Equipment (FIE) Manufacturers and by the Association of Diesel Specialist (ADS). Rodney is also authorized to do warranty inspections on turbochargers.
After 13 years, Rodney and Darla decided to venture off on their own, and opened their very own shop. With hard work, sacrifice and a lot of prayers Diesel Performance Engineering has become the thriving business it is today. Here at Diesel Performance Engineering Rodney runs the stall division, as well as the fuel injection and turbocharger repair division and Darla, manages the parts department. Now, the next generation is posing to enter the business, as their youngest child, Levi has graduated from the University of Missouri with his degree in Mechanical Engineering. Levi has worked at Diesel Performance Engineering mastering his skills repairing and enhancing turbochargers for several years now.
