About Us

 

Hi, My name is Joe Peterson, and I own/operate Doomsday Diesel, by myself, in the heart of Nebraska, USA. I completed my first OM617 swap in 2012, while in college. After college, I worked as an engineer for several different companies, including trailers and hydraulic cylinders. During this time, I gained invaluable experience in design, machining and welding, as well as how to treat customers. In 2014, I took on a part-time job as a machinist. In 2015, Doomsday Diesel was born!

 

After paving the way for OM617-Toyota swaps, I began selling conversion parts on the side. I was also raising cattle. In 2018, I sold all my cattle to fund a new shop for Doomsday Diesel. At Thanksgiving 2018, I was laid off from my engineering job with no notice. This happened 6 months prior to my shop being completed. I ended up selling my acreage/house and converting a tiny portion of my shop into living quarters. Doomsday was now a full-time venture. And then some!

 

Fast-forward to present-day. Doomsday Diesel leads the way in innovations for the OM617, with new parts currently being designed and coming out for the VW TDI and MB OM60x series.

​

Doomsday Diesel is committed to giving its customers reliable service, while providing the highest quality products, at a very reasonable price. Doomsday Diesel uses state-of-the-art equipment to cut, form, and machine parts. CNC mills, lathes, lasers, water-jets, and press brakes are used in the production of parts. This ensures repeatable, tight-tolerance parts.

​

All parts are made 100% in the USA with pride!
