I'm not a diesel guy, but i enjoy these videos. They don't over complicate things and don't bullshit the viewers.

[@pddofficial]

We're glad to have you!

[@stephenyanceyy]

I’m definitely new to the diesel world and love it, but do all the fast ones break something every pass? Kind of annoying and expensive haha

[@FastPaull]

@stephenyanceyy No, but with diesel, atleast imo, you walk a very fine line of everything being okay, and everything not being okay when you're making alot of power (cylinder pressure and egt's) Unlike a gas engine where more fuel cools the cylinder, it's the complete opposite with diesel. More fuel makes for hotter EGT's. And when you're running these big mechanical pumps etc. You don't really have all the control you would want Ideally, atleast from what I've seen. With gas engines you have the luxury of fuel cut, spark cut etc etc to save the engine. With a diesel, you try to keep the EGT's under control and hope it survives.

[@WhyNot6243]

I think the best part about your channel is you talk about everything. The ups, the downs, the in between, the challenges along the way. You don’t just post the highlight reel when you win. And anyone that’s raced any length of time will know that race day will always go for shit atleast one time no matter how much you prep. You can have all the best parts, do everything right and still have everything go wrong at the track. And you guys share those experiences. Which I think makes you true racers.

[@pddofficial]

Well said and thank you!

2:10 got Mach diamonds coming out the waste gate😎

They look so sweet!

Totally!

[@bobbycakes]

Tappets... SO FUN!" Love the Sarcasm! The brotherhood is tight! Hope Josh will get over & visit! miss those videos!

[@RamTahoe]

Yall hilarious......just rollin with the issues..........life has beaten me down so much I don't freak out with truck issues anymore

[@pddofficial]

Yep, it's a lifestyle!

[@andymilian1995]

Can we all agree that this is one of the coolest aftermarket diesel companies out there.

[@pddofficial]

Thank you so much!!

[@scottleggejr]

Better than most others. I love how they just live in their own world and aren't wrapped up in some bullshit chest banging clout competition. I am 100% over gale banks (and anything like him) because all he does is push his snake oil and bash on anything and everything else. Never races. Never builds. Never promote. Never positive. PDD is relatable because this is how I am. Never stop fellas!

[@cs-gj3yf]

@@scottleggejr not to mention gale supports the epa and is trying to eliminate aftermarket diesel shops

[@paularteau9482]

Love story time with pdd... you guys are great entertainment!

[@pddofficial]

[@RamTahoe]

I'm a sled puller but this vid makes me want to run the lights again.........my last time down track was with stock injectors but now have 150% with 12mm cp3 and other goodies but I've never been a fan of the shock load drag racing. Trans is built and convertor got refreshed but I still get hebe geebes thinking about the strip

[@pddofficial]

I loved pulling the few times I’ve done it. Wish it was bigger out west. I highly encourage you to go race again!

[@bdjm8595]

Fun !!!

[@sidewaysstarion]

I'd love to see more about what happened to Myers truck.

[@pddofficial]

We got it pretty much figured out will do another video on it for sure!

[@doxnoogle5782]

"It was so fun" man if that doesnt hit home.

[@pddofficial]

Right?!

[@kjax76]

"The suck is real." Sure is. 👍

[@HunterRoenfeldt]

What tires is Meyer using? Look like the MT street ss? What size?

[@pddofficial]

They are MH 390/40r17

[@jimmungai1938]

Hey, you guys I’m gonna make a suggestion/order I want all of you guys including fire punk any of you shop out there I want you to do more about diverting the exhaust fumes out so you’re not breathing them. That stuff could be causing cancer anyhow I’m on your side, this is in a row Jim from Kennerdell PA

[@pddofficial]

Do you mean when we are inside using the dyno? We have several methods in place, however there is not really a surefire way to completely eliminate fumes coming into the shop because of the wind. We have a 5-foot fan inside that points at the truck/outside, and since this video was filmed we installed a huge fan in the ceiling that points outside. The exhaust is always pointed outside. Plus, depending on the truck, looking at the amount of exhaust leaving is a good way for us to tell what adjustments we may need to make. We do everything we can, and usually only dyno after hours when the only people in the building are the film crew and the owners. We appreciate the concern!

[@jameshenry3921]

Are you guys coming to UCC this year if so can't wait to see what you bring

[@pddofficial]

We are not. I don’t really see us doing that again. Going to have fun drag racing where we don’t brake as much stuff?

[@jameshenry3921]

That last video you guys about boke everything trying to go or in Vegas. Congrats on the white truck first in the 5s

[@jonathanbolerjack930]

Junker got external gate on it or just the internal?

[@pddofficial]

Just the internal gate

[@jonathanbolerjack930]

@pddofficial heck yeah similar setup I'm going to 363 with internal gate and 485 on my street/beater truck

[@peterschmidt2849]

❤️‍🔥🇺🇸

[@claymartin8960]

What rods where in wills truck?

[@pddofficial]

Wagler street fighters

[@claymartin8960]

So in this case, the street fighters out lived that stock storm block?

[@woos31]

So it was standard PDD event lmao? If fun was had then hey, it's a win

[@tuffy16]

Will I sill like yr trucks paint job!

[@pddofficial]

Thank you!

[@nevinbontrager8828]

Why dont you guys just machine an o-ring gasket for turbo gaskets like you do on a head? That seems like it would hold a lot better?

[@pddofficial]

If Will had checked his bolts and tightened them it would have been fine.

[@nevinbontrager8828]

[@mushmouth]

Actually show video.dont have a show of you explaining what you did. Just video it and edit it together and make a video of the race weekend. Soo lame talking about it and showing clips....

[@gtperformanceturbochargers]
