🏆 A MAJOR MILESTONE FOR ELITE DIESEL PERFORMANCE! 🏆

Elite Diesel Performance is proud to announce that, in just two years of operation, our team has completed 20 EMD crankshaft changeouts aboard vessels.

That is a major accomplishment—and one every member of the EDP family should be proud to be part of.

The owners of EDP would like to sincerely thank every employee who has stood with us from the day we opened our doors until today. Your hard work, long hours, sacrifice, knowledge and dedication have been a major part of our company’s growth. We could not have reached this milestone without you.

We started EDP with a vision and something to prove. To everyone who believed in us from the beginning—thank you. To those who doubted us or continue talking about EDP—keep watching. We will let our work, our growth and our results speak for themselves.

We are more than a company—we are a family. We are proud of what we have accomplished, but we are nowhere near finished.

20 EMD crankshafts in two years—and we’re just getting started.

OUT WITH THE OLD. IN WITH MORE POWER.

The EDP team is removing two EMD 20-645-E7B engines and installing two EMD 16-710-G7B engines, which will be assembled inside the vessel.

This is a major repower project that takes experience, precision, and serious teamwork. Our crew is getting it done safely and professionally—one lift, one component, and one milestone at a time.

Big engines. Tough conditions. No excuses.

We’re going after it all—FULL BLAST—and there’s no looking back!

Two Years of Elite Diesel Performance

Today marks two years of Elite Diesel Performance, and I honestly can’t believe how far we’ve come.

This has been one hell of a journey. There have been long days, sleepless nights, sacrifices, setbacks, and victories. Through it all, I couldn’t have done it without my two partners, Terrill “T-Boy” and Ray “Jr.” Thank y’all for believing in this dream from day one.

When we started EDP, we knew what we wanted, but we didn’t know everything about running a business. We were just a few wrench-head mechanics with a dream. I knew a little about parts, but none of us had all the answers. What we did have was determination, faith, and people who believed in us when it mattered most.

We also had something to prove.

A lot of people said we wouldn’t make it. Some gave us six months before we’d be knocking on someone else’s door looking for work again. Those words could have broken us—but instead, they fueled us. Every late night, every early morning, every challenge we faced only made us work harder.

Today, we’re celebrating two years in business, and we’ve grown to 37 employees. That may not sound like a lot to some people, but to us, it’s proof that hard work, sacrifice, and never giving up pays off.

Terrill, you’re not just my business partner—you’re my best friend. Ray, you’re not just my cousin—you’re my brother. The three of us talk every single day, and each of us brings something different to EDP. That’s what makes this company work. We trust each other, we push each other, and we never stop believing in what we’re building.

To everyone who supported us, encouraged us, trusted us with your business, and stood beside us—thank you. We wouldn’t be here without you.

And to the people who said I’d never be anything, who said we’d never make it… thank you too. You gave us the fire to keep pushing when we were exhausted. You became the motivation that kept us moving forward every single day.

This dream that I’ve had for so long is finally becoming reality. And we’re just getting started.

Here’s to two amazing years of Elite Diesel Performance—and many more to come.

Thank you, Terrill. Thank you, Ray. I love y’all like brothers, and I’m proud of everything we’ve built together. The best is still ahead of us.

Two Years.

On July 27th, Elite Diesel Performance doesn’t just celebrate another year in business—we celebrate every sacrifice, every sleepless night, every setback we refused to let define us, and every person who believed in a dream that many said would never survive.

Two years ago, EDP wasn’t built with millions of dollars or guaranteed success. It was built with faith, grit, determination, and three men who refused to quit.

People laughed.

People doubted us.

Some gave us six months.

Some said we’d never make it.

Some said we were crazy for taking the risk.

But they didn’t see what was happening behind the scenes.

They didn’t see the nights we worked until there was nothing left in the tank.

They didn’t see the stress that kept us awake.

They didn’t see the sacrifices our families made while we poured everything we had into this company.

They didn’t see every dollar that came in go right back out—buying better equipment, building inventory, improving our shop, investing in our people, and creating a company that would never settle for being average.

There were days we questioned ourselves.

There were jobs that tested us.

There were obstacles that would’ve made most people quit.

But quitting was never an option.

Our owners—Shawn, Terrill, and Ray—didn’t build Elite Diesel Performance to be just another diesel shop. They built it to raise the standard.

Today, we’re manufacturing our own components.

We’re shipping power packs across the country.

We’re rebuilding marine engines, locomotive engines, and industrial power systems that keep businesses moving.

We’ve earned the trust of customers who once took a chance on us—and now they keep coming back because they know our word means something.

Everything we’ve accomplished has been earned.

Not given.

Earned.

To every employee who’s put on an EDP shirt and given everything they had—thank you. You are more than employees. You’re family, and this company wouldn’t be what it is without your commitment and pride.

To our wives, children, and families…

Thank you for every missed dinner.

Every late night.

Every holiday interrupted by a phone call.

Every moment you stood behind us while we chased something bigger than ourselves.

You sacrificed just as much as we did, and we’ll never forget that.

To our customers…

Thank you for trusting a company that was once just a dream.

Your confidence in us has allowed us to grow into something we’re incredibly proud of.

And to everyone who said we’d never make it…

Thank you.

Because every bit of doubt became fuel.

Every criticism became motivation.

Every prediction that we’d fail became another reason to prove that hard work will always speak louder than opinions.

Today, Elite Diesel Performance stands as proof that dreams don’t work unless the people behind them do.

We didn’t build this company overnight.

We built it one customer at a time.

One engine at a time.

One impossible job at a time.

One sacrifice at a time.

And we’re nowhere near finished.

This anniversary isn’t the finish line.

It’s the foundation.

The next chapter will be bigger.

Stronger.

Faster.

And we’ll continue doing what we’ve done since day one—putting our customers first, investing back into our company, standing behind every job, and proving that integrity still matters.

To everyone who’s been part of this journey…

Thank you.

Here’s to two incredible years.

And here’s to showing the world that Elite Diesel Performance is only getting started.

Maximizing Power. Minimizing Downtime.

Built from nothing. Proven by everything. The best is still ahead.

Another One Out the Door from the Hollywood Shop! 🔧⚙️🚢

As another rebuilt engine heads out the door, we want to take a moment to recognize the people who make it all happen.
To our top-notch mechanics who spend countless hours on the road, away from home, getting our customers back up and running—thank you. Your dedication, sacrifice, and hard work are what keep EDP moving forward. Many of you finish a job in the field and then come back to the shop to help rebuild engines and get them out the door before starting on the next one. Your commitment does not go unnoticed.
The truth is, EDP could not do this without every single employee. From ownership to the office staff, sales team, shop personnel, and field mechanics, everyone plays a critical role in our success.
A special thank you to Kandice, Brianna, and Jessica for everything you do behind the scenes. From quoting jobs and tracking time to HR responsibilities and all the other tasks that keep this company running smoothly, we appreciate you more than you know.
We'd also like to recognize Bryan Chaisson Jr. for bringing in new customers, growing our fast-line business, and helping expand our CAT, Cummins, Detroit, and John Deere engine divisions. Your hard work and dedication continue to help EDP grow.
A huge thank you to Mrs. Brenda for managing ALCO sales, quoting, purchasing, and helping build a strong ALCO division. Alongside Ray, you've helped create a solid foundation for this part of the business, and we are grateful for all that you do.
To all of our mechanics who proudly represent EDP, sell parts, and work around the clock to get vessels and equipment back in service—you are the backbone of this company. We may not say it enough, but your hard work and dedication are the reason we continue to grow.
Thank you to:
Dwayne, Morty, Preston, T-Ray, Mitch, Josh, Jeremy G., Jeremy D., Larry, Peter, Kenny, Chad Sr., Chad Jr., Marc, Joby, Cory, and Joe.
We appreciate everything you do for EDP and our customers every day.
We also want to recognize our team at the Lacarpe Shop. Thank you for everything you do to keep operations rolling. From building components and pulling parts to managing inventory and ordering stock, your work is essential to our success. EDP couldn't do it without you.
A special thank you to our Parts Department:
Chad, Rob, Mekhi, Ben, Rondel, and Troy.
And thank you to:
Gerald, Marty, Nathan, Devin, Shawn, and Jonah
for your hard work, dedication, and commitment to helping EDP succeed every day.
Lastly, thank you to our owners, Shawn, Ray, and Terrill, for your leadership and commitment. Whether it's helping in the shops, traveling to support customers, or doing whatever is needed to move the company forward, your dedication helps drive EDP's success.
The three owners would like to thank every employee. If anyone was accidentally left out, please know your hard work is appreciated. Every one of you has helped build EDP into what it is today.
And we're just getting started.
On the 27th of this month, EDP will celebrate its 2-year anniversary! In just two years, we've grown to 36 employees and continue to knock down doors, create opportunities, and build something special. This is only the beginning of where we want to go.
We are not slowing down until EDP is at the top.
Keep an eye out—big things are in the works. We'll be making announcements soon about exciting plans for growth, expansion, and new opportunities that will help take EDP to the next level.
Most importantly, thank you to all of our employees, families, customers, and supporters who believed in us when no one else did. Your trust, dedication, and support have made all of this possible.
EDP isn't just a company—we're a family.
Final Thank You
On behalf of Shawn, Ray, and Terrill, thank you to every employee, customer, supporter, and family member who has been part of the EDP journey. We appreciate your hard work, dedication, sacrifices, and belief in what we're building. Together we've accomplished a lot in just two years, but we're only getting started. Thank you for being part of the EDP family—let's keep growing, keep pushing forward, and continue building something we're all proud of. The best is yet to come!
