Diesel Power Challenge 2018 | Part 5 - Sled Pull and Awards Banquet

[@EGGINFOOLS]

I'm a Duramax/Allison guy but I can't hate on that black 6.4 or the mega cab at all. I don't care what place they came in. Those are nice trucks

[@randalllawkin]

I agree to new too the whole truck scene but I'm loving it.

[@EGGINFOOLS]

@@randalllawkin The truck scene is great! Almost like politics but once you make friends with other truck guys it's a blast to go to the shows and meets.

[@extremepoweraddicts2978]

I love the GM suspension for fast weekend trucks and comfort... My friends duramax is slower then my powerstroke (not saying powerstrokes are faster, in this case mine is faster then his) but his feels way faster when driving or riding in it. I prefer my superduty for daily heavy construction abuse. I dont care who makes it... If its fun cool haha. At the end they all eventually break.

[@jjjr8664]

That black six4 got last. But had the most money put into it. She's a shower.

Glade he won. Good show. Great sportsmanship from all competitors.

[@loganp7043]

That 2010 6.4 is a great looking truck

[@rebel9838]

The one at 5:15 is unfair his truck already has to pull him and now you add the sleep....poor truck.....lol jk everyone did a great job and brought some badass trucks.

[@extremepoweraddicts2978]

Well his weight only helps weigh the front axle down... Haha. He was at a disadvantage in the drag race haha.

[@johanneswarn5488]

His weight would benefit him in keeping the truck planted lol

[@scottcravens9454]

His truck is by far my favorite from this years DPC

[@CTemple82]

These rules are so dumb, why not let them change tires and make small changes so we can actually see what the trucks are capable of at full potential. I don’t get why they only get one shot at everything, that’s not how you find out who has the best truck, it just shows who gets lucky on there first try. At least give them a shake down run to adapt to the conditions.

[@snek9353]

The tire rule is fine, they should have added more weight and let the two with full pulls really find out who's better though.

[@kirkgordon4469]

And a participation award lol

@@kirkgordon4469 yeap and a but I wanted to win the most award some of these people don't understand what the word challenge means

[@marioarchuleta8723]

Do u have a vehicle .. Do u work on trucks do u know about long lasting durability ... Its a rounded event to just show everyhing so is it fair if u sprint run long distance jog lift weights huh .. Sorrt but if u cant understand then maybe ask instead of juat saying something

[@EGGINFOOLS]

I would love to see a midsize and gas version of this series. Even a 1/2 ton diesel challenge once they launch

[@TedGNE]

Yeah these guys are really on the level off UCC. I love diesel tech, I’ve come to hate this “competition” over the years. It’s been groomed to fit motor trends agenda and greed. I’ve been very underwhelmed at this years turn out and organization. I respect these men and their trucks but not the people who run this event.

[@JasonWaterfalls13]

Feel the same, it's one big product placement ad at this point. This "competition" peaked when Lavon Miller was absolutely dominating everyone and has gone downhill since.

[@haggardfarms9577]

I fell the same there rules are stupid to the ucc is way better

[@dburkh91]

The idea here is to let more small time guys get into the competition. At the UCC, if you don't have 1,500 hp, you really have no chance at being in the top 10, never mind winning.

[@TedGNE]

dburkh91 I understand the smaller level of competition but that means to have more patients with the lesser experienced drivers. I’m not disappointed that these guys don’t have 2000+ ft lbs or anything, I’m disappointed because the drivers themselves have a good level of sportsmanship but the organizers at motor trend don’t allow them to genuinely compete, throwing the book at inexperienced drivers with rule technicalities and not working with them. The spirit or lack there of on motor trends part is what bothers me so much.

[@dburkh91]

I will agree with you on that one

[@CarswithNash]

Good stuff! Loved seeing that Super Duty killing it in the sled pull, that 6.4 sounded mean!

[@shark11175]

Man that 6.4 is a monster

[@bgd73]

great ending. I grew up with trucking.. 40 years now. congrats to the winner, great challenge

[@20m340i]

Yep worst one by far, everything this year sucked. Really boring, especially the redesigned trailer obstacle course and it seemed like the did way too much video cutting. Feels like you only saw certain parts of each event.

[@bandabanderos]

Yup. Gone are the days of Lavon Miller 😢

[@TTANA]

awesome trucks awesome and presenter this was a great series to watch very entertaining I love the sportsmanship and most of all the informative announcer ! ! I will definitely look forward to next year's challenge !

[@downsouthfishing2311]

Gotta give props to the 6.4 powerstroke, love mine they are powerhouses, my 6.4 will be there one day screaming and rolling coal

[@PrydeWater901]

I think this is the first DPC win for a Duramax. Also the first time so many showed up in the first place!

[@bs666.]

Lynell Newson a duramax won the first two years IIRC. Might be the first time since they started putting it on KZbin

[@this_guy6965]

Definitely the first since they put it up on YT, first 2 years was a white Cummins, then the next 2 years was a 6.0L Powerstroke owned by Charlie "Six Liter Keeter." In all of those the Duramax seemed to trail behind, but certainly not this year!

[@kellibender5187]

Put all those up against lavon miller, nobody can beat him!

[@this_guy6965]

Pretty sure Lavon Miller is the guy with the white Cummins I mentioned, I'll have to check

[@rayls96]

This is something I look forward to every year, and while I enjoyed this year it feels like it was phoned in and lacked the excitement and heart of years prior. There seamed to be little knowledge of the events and trucks by the commentators and at many points it was cringeworthy.

[@jaromjenkins1834]

[@Magucci13]

I'm honestly really glad some dmax's took the podium this year! But by far this was the competition I've seen yet. I remember a couple years ago when they had some Chevy's laying down numbers with the Cummins Boyz, but always broke. I also want them to start doing it down in altitude more. Give the non nitrous guys an equal chance. Because in order to hang now it almost seems like a given that you need NO2

are you allowed to lower your tire pressures in this challenge?

[@dcarden3031]

What type of automotive event doesn't allow you to make changes in you truck to better perform for one event

[@scottleggejr]

To keep cost down. So viewers can relate to the builds. So the producer can market and sell more parts. There's no money in selling one-off rods for a radical build. There's loads of money in selling bolt-ons to the masses.
