In 2018, Dave drove Xtreme Diesel yet again at one of the Monster Jam Stadium Tours, but he would leave Monster Jam in protest of the debut of BroDozer. Storm Damage driver Tim Mente would drive for him in Toronto. It is believed he left after BroDozer was promoted as the first diesel powered monster truck, which is false. Soon after that, Dave would modify Xtreme Diesel, converting it into a diesel-powered truck.
In 2019, Dave would go under the radar, driving Xtreme Diesel. He would go to Monsters on the Beach, but finished last due to engine issues. He did act as a display at World Finals XX, which also featured BroDozer.
