Sled Pull and Awards Banquet -Diesel Power Challenge 2016

[@prochargedboss3028]

The black 6.7l Powerstroke is the true winner, was the most reliable overall with the fewest performance parts.

[@DennisH22A]

im not a powerstroke guy but that truck was seriously impressive

[@tmanthekid4396]

I prefer the 7.3 but that thing was good

[@TheTmaaan55]

The 7.3 is great for light mods and nearly infinite reliability. But power? Yeah, no. For a first gen 7.3 like mine, minor mods only take it to about the same power level as the early 6.0. Of course, the 6.0 would blow up and be towed home by the 7.3

[@Deftonesdsm]

YES 7.3 only way to go. my dad bought a 2003 last year from a guy at the claycomo plant who retired and built it optioned out for himself. 50k on the clock. its badass, full cat delete exhause, chipped. intake . badass. plus Super ez to work on

[@KevinSmith-qi5yn]

Koller should be disqualified from winning from the simple fact his name is Koller and he was not roaling coals.

[@iant720]

No mirrors guy is awesome... His truck is mean as hell, plus its a 6.0!!!! Seems like a cool guy, he deserved it!

[@brodygoodrich926]

Ian Thompson no mirror guy is Charlie keeter

[@KevinSmith-qi5yn]

Charlie Keeter is the most ideal driver for Nascar. I would be surprised if he hasn't been offered to join a team. His name and dialect are perfect. Imagine it's the Daytona 500 and Keeter wins. At the winners circle he gives his reasons. Well my crew really had my back. We put some tape on the front end. Car just went strong.

[@nickmudd]

Props to Kelsie for getting a 7 cylinder broken turbo to pull the sled not all that far behind the leaders!

[@emeraldages]

You mean for being a dumbass and takin ga broken engine throwing nitrous and destroying it more to rack up more costs to replace it? Logically that was just idiotic.

[@brettslezak9873]

It melted a piston and blew a hole in the cylinder. Everything needed to be replaced anyways.

[@thezeroto60outlet65]

Brett Slezak yeah some people just don't understand things

[@Missmaxx89]

Logically you obviously don't know that the whole motor is getting replaced anyway. I worked so hard to get to Denver and into DPC, I wasn't just going to give up when it was already broken anyway.

[@TriggerTravels]

She should have stayed in Canada

[@BenLeBlanc1]

After this season, Miller should come back. Who cares how much someone wins? It breeds competition.

[@GIGABACHI]

I thought the same. 😟

[@JasonWaterfalls13]

Agreed. Lavon Miller's skill piloting that white Dodge is a treat to watch.

[@J.Johanson]

I love it all haha but yes I believe stronger trucks would come\ out

[@isaach8322]

Agreed. I stopped reading DPower magazine after all the changes in the past year or so. It's turned into a joke.

[@davejack8973]

Bring in Gary Sweetleaf Miller ....

[@iant720]

I love that woman, you know full well none of these guys would have driven their truck down the strip on 7 cylinders, with a severely hurt engine... Then to go balls out on the sled pull!!! Shes awesome!!

[@emeraldages]

Kind of just makes her dumb. Usually it's msart to not completely destroy your motor.

[@thezeroto60outlet65]

No everything already needed replaced

[@Missmaxx89]

"NO" Makes you ignorant to not realize it was all getting torn out the moment we got home.

[@iant720]

Kelsie Epp Don't listen to that douche. You probably de-masculated him aha. Your marriage material only book! 👍🎉

[@emeraldages]

Kelsie Epp I guess in you're rolling in cash you're good. Automobiles are expensive hobbies :(

[@PhilBourgeois]

First mod to do remove all my mirrors lol

[@GIGABACHI]

😂

[@tmanthekid4396]

Second replace transmission LOLLLLZZZ

[@markm0000]

That's going to be a thing now at sema

[@pueblodsmrs5624]

hell ya 6.0 finally took it down!!!!!

[@johnhulbert4377]

Pretty cool seeing the different trucks this year. I'm surprised to see the damn 6.0 take the W! I can't hate on any of the people or the trucks, so much dedication and hard work but in the end, its all about having fun. Congrats guys! Awesome competition this year!

[@ryanandes6948]

how come every cummins owner looks like he has dated a cousin

[@hitman5423]

We need kelsie with her truck fixed next year, that thing got potential

[@ianduijsens]

we need the cummins roadkill cadilac next year ;)

[@Lexolo999]

Ian Duijsens or Stubby Bob. Just to piss off KJ.

[@ianduijsens]

Lexolo999 sad thing stubby bob isnt diesel

[@Lexolo999]

Ian Duijsens exactly. Just to piss off KJ.

[@ianduijsens]

Lexolo999 :) would be pretty funny

[@ramairgto72]

I keep expecting the "BAM!" at the end...

[@owenparillo3421]

Yes!! Same here! XD

[@jaybones3459]

I guess money isnt a problem. Yeah we will just fix it no biggie...

[@nickrazzano1]

Jay Bones

[@Dmax734]

Kelsie still got 4th place? Holy shit on 7 cylinders. You better move when you see chick in a duramax, cause she won't be playing around haha

[@PanameraTurboSEHybrid]

I'm lovin this, they should do 2nd or 3rd event a year. one is not enough. That way there's more competitions and more expensive trucks to go crazy out there.

[@kaynec3079]

Gasoline is for cleaning parts alcohol is for drinking propane is for BBQ'S and diesel is for making power !

[@experimental_av]

and glue is for sniffing apparently

[@GIGABACHI]

ROTFLMAO...😆😂

[@jamesdean4992]

Yeah sure bud tell that to the top fuel guys

[@jw4620]

Kelsie is my hero! I'll be watching for you next year!

[@brianmurray2400]

Glad to see Hootie still working after the blowfish break up.

[@Mebob2001]

they really let them hang out this year, lots of broken trucks

[@4theloveofDub]

seriously! how many were able to drive away from the sled at the end... two? That is pushing it to the limit!

[@iant720]

Kevin Rogers glad they did too!

[@kcslot54]

Ian Thompson

[@n8bolton]

I love all the critical comments from the folks who are ignorant about internal combustion engines. Here's a little bit of knowledge and insight for you folks; when you're making as much power as a 15 liter Caterpillar engine with the relatively small 6-7 liter engines that are in these trucks, shit's gonna break. Period. There's not an aftermarket part on the market that will stand up to this much power being repeatedly pumped through it. Unless, you're gonna drop a class-8 spec Allison or Eaton Fuller transmission in it and comparable driveline components, things are going to come apart. So, now you all know. You're welcome.

[@dugwillis84]

Exactly, not to mention sled pulls are not what these trucks are designed for

[@zackeryburley3580]

I didn't now this but I'm not gonna say I knew either. Thanks for the info but common sense these trucks aren't meant for this just as a Toyota supers doesn't have to be 1000hp but it is. These trucks are for diesel heads who want to do the extreme and make monsters. Who cares about the small talk comments they're everywhere nowadays. I'm just enjoying the sound of beautiful engines and turbo spools.

[@TheGilbertsonfamily]

This years challenge was really great! One of my favorite.

[@AznPerzuaSin]

Got a 6.0 myself. Glad to finally see us take home a win. Realized what mod I was missing on mine. I need a gdamned Charlie Keeter!!

[@jonathonsmith7694]

Glad to see a Ford 6.0 show it up this year.

[@PorusniucCosmin]

Too much freedom in one video!

[@Brock_Landers]

Good job Charlie Keeter! I was hoping for Ray McClelland to place a little higher because he lives less than an hour from me in New Castle but he took 3rd and time place in the top 3 among so many great trucks and great people is awesome. Great job to everyone who participated in the 2016 Diesel Power Challenge!

[@JeffRatliffhome]

Some guy who didn't have the latest expensive parts but just knew how to build and drive a truck won. That is justice. Glad to see the system work for once.

[@TedGNE]

Miller needs to be brought back. These guys these year worked hard I won't try and take that from them but they disappointed me. No one put the time and effort into their truck like Miller did to ensure a not only powerful animal, but no broken parts when it was crunch time. None of these trucks have the capability to dethrone the enforcer, I want to meet the truck that does.

[@DancesWithMen1]

TedGNE his truck was just a complete machine. It got nearly a perfect score last year and didn't break. With the way they treated lavon I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't want to come back and that's a shame.

[@TedGNE]

DancesWithMen1 you bring up a valid point, it wouldn't surprise me if they drove him away. Not to sound cruel but I hope this move on their part comes back to bite them.

[@dixoncider4684]

And he did it with no mirrors!

[@kaleibob]

crazy right

[@off-roadnpew2183]

Yeah he drove straight real good.

[@trappamitchell773]

Please, please, give Ms Epp the opportunity to rebuild and get back in 2017. She is an awesome competitor to watch. Anyone willing to detonate is someone I would gladly watch day in day out. Thanks Diesel Power..... Maybe one year you could allow a international truck to enter the comp. I'd love to bring my Patrol over to play. Thanks guys, I look forward to this and Tough Truck Challenge every year. Awesome work.

[@c.galvan7465]

6.7 power stroking yeah baby

[@Deftonesdsm]

truck of kelsey still got 4th in a damaged truck . Props

[@kaurkoop]

damn kelsie really rollin in that sled pull challenge and he only had 7 cylinders

[@whaszup1]

and almost made 200ft too!

[@NickLoecke]

Yeah pretty good finish for all the problems that truck had.

[@4theloveofDub]

Yea, I was really impressed with her! So she pulled nearly 200 ft with 7 cylinders AND zero boost, all while building crank case pressure the whole pull. Mad respect!

[@Nikel87]

7 Cylinder NA Diesel. That's awsome.

[@cosworthTV]

Kaur so? 7 i still enough even 4 is

[@AgentSmith911]

It was fun to watch, can't wait to see what they come up with next season

[@ninja2kernow]

Watching in the Uk,love this ,Horsepwer heroes.

[@hotrodlincolnchannel6266]

Between this and the Top Truck challenge it seems like more and more people break each year as the years go by. Parts companies slacking in product reliability? Did they figure out if they build a sturdy and reliable part they wont sell as many? What do you guys think?

[@videowsatcher]

its not just trucks but all things like white goods, TVs,.... It seems they have a short service life built in, and then parts supply runs out quickly once the model is no longer produced (I speak from my own experience).

[@14aartis]

8:51 "They've completely killed one hole"

[@andrelabeach4069]

keeter's 6.0 is the boss!!!

[@keihirosan3486]

Where is top truck challenge and ultimate adventure 2016

[@johntrout640]

Reliability is definitely not their strong suit in this challenge.

[@DEBOSSGARAGE]

increasing the HP and Torque 5X from factory, has its downfalls.

[@J.Johanson]

None of them here are 5x haha, that new ford did well. I have 500hp and that's reliable

[@Deftonesdsm]

because ford stopped making the 7.3 it was built proof

[@brockobama8799]

Ford never made the 7.3, it was international, which are the same ones that made the 6.0 and 6.4, Ford themselves makes the 6.7

[@diresword5046]

Vinny The Tech yes but ford mass produced it.

[@MichelLinschoten]

Not sure if it's worth breaking your truck over, but respect for the ones that kept going at it even limping.

[@emeraldages]

3:00 are those Nitto 555rs on there? o.O

[@s60t5M]

would love to see rebuild pics or video when they tear these engines apart

[@Missmaxx89]

follow @missmaxx on Instagram, I posted the whole rebuild process of my new engine

[@xlthumper]

Kelsie Epp you are really cool!

[@mckinneyproductions2595]

should do a gasser power challenge. see how many of those break and how they run

[@jonas852]

first really supprist how good Ferguson truck was on the sledpull and after seeing the dragrace im impressed by the GMC in the sledpull, it was in really bad shape but still a nice pull love to see that one back when its healty (and love the colur green so the GMC is the best looking)

[@Charltonr]

Good stuff, can't wait for next year

[@demon39063]

good stuff! can't wait until the next one

[@poohonmyspace]

Great job Motor Trend. You sent them to a high altitude location and told them to floor it. No shit they broke their trucks. Couldn't have chosen a better location? They should make you pay for their repairs.

[@colonelk3000]

MazdaPride89 you mean the same place they've always held it? where lots of competitors have had no problem? They just didn't build them right is all, and it's down to the competitors how hard they push or whether they want to compete at all.

[@GIGABACHI]

LOL. This is why i love YTs comments...everyone it's an expert....Even me !!! 😂

[@DOWDFILMS1]

DPC kinda sucked this year. Need more manual trucks, or bring back Levon Miller

[@cameronjenkins6748]

I'm actually quite amazed at how high some of these trucks were revving. It almost sounds like Nathan Stacy's truck was revving to 5000 rpm. I also think that this year's competition shows that the 6.0 powerstroke is no slouch if you work with it.

[@christianh.8408]

Cameron Jenkins sereously? our 8 year old bmw has a 3l diesel with 250hp stock and can rev up to 4,500with a cold and 5,000 with a warm engine...

[@randombk82894]

its a 3 liter. i should hope it revs. but does it make any torque, no

[@cameronjenkins6748]

Christian H. Considering that these engines usually redline at around 3600 rpm, 5000 is quite amazing.

[@christianh.8408]

It makes enough torque to beat up the american pickups😂 just search for the bmw m550d xdrive

[@KenyonPayne]

lol a 550d doesn't make 800ftlb of torque. It's a lot harder to rev a 6.7L diesel with a huge stroke in it compared to a 3.0L diesel.

[@nestr2007]

Poor Kelsie. Almost had it. I liked that truck. Congrats to no mirrors lol

[@Dr-vn2jr]

So what's Trucktrend ?

[@repoman2115]

Can you do a vodeo on the Liebherr T 282B?

[@izellemoreno9265]

"... And I'd done it with out mirrors again." 🙌🏻

[@jmv2015]

Diesels with useless tires, incorrect wheel offset, interior cages, somehwat stripped interior ... DAFUQ is going on with this guys lol

[@zxKrookedxz]

just a bunch of people having fun

[@markm0000]

Eh someone with a right setup would spank these noobs. It's all for fun and keeps the show interesting with how many trucks have blown up or spit oil.

[@TheCamaro5]

its called drag racing. You put more tread on the ground run a cage to stay legal and strip the interior for less weight. Make sense

[@Devyn87]

Should be a tug pull in this competition.

[@Hagen2515]

where is miller

[@travisgbarr]

Treston Hagen after winning two years he wasn't eligible to come back, they explain it in the first event

[@ELDOUBLES]

The girl had more balls than any of them dudes hahaha props to her 🔥🔥🔥

[@acmadniturner1668]

use bloody oil restrictors for the oil inlet on the turbos and you wont have so much smoke when you run high load and high boost. simple stuff stops big problems sometimes.

[@BMXkid18friends]

That 6.4 must've had about 5 miles on a fresh engine when it got to the beginning of this challenge. I'm amazed it survived.

[@cameronthai6823]

Will there be a 2017 one?

[@Thinbender74]

You publishing this better on Roadkill!

[@BlackWarriorLures]

Man, that Dodge was a screamer.

[@tat2titan]

Absolutely Great Event!!!!

[@mikeR39]

Whats up with the deep dish wheels?

[@scrapmetal_sleepers]

What is up with the toe-in on stacy's truck?

[@gunnarstahl2741]

do you still do ultimate adventure?

[@randombk82894]

The word of the day is reliability.

[@1967Twotone]

Kelsie was consistent. She would have been in the top 3 with better luck.

[@shantygaming694]

Skip to 2:30 to start watching the actual pulls.

[@jongibson7479]

not to be a diesel hater but what's the point of a full built diesel if it has to be towed by another diesel to an event. I mean these trucks are the pinnacle "work horse"

[@travisgbarr]

jon gibson these aren't work trucks anymore. These are built to make power, nothing else

[@owenpowers8306]

Isn't heavier the truck, easier has to pulling sleds?

[@2450logan]

Why no manuals 😭

[@sups1264]

logan thompson because they are 1000+ hp trucks. I love manuals too and I drive one just saying it would be dumb to have a manual in one of those

[@2450logan]

I guess it would be an expensive clutch disc

[@2450logan]

Don't get me wrong they look terrific but they would all be weapons of mass destruction if they were manual 😄😄

[@crashandburnbirner]

cause drag racing

[@Ba11leFieldAce]

Manuals have traditionally not fared well in this challenge, I think most guys are ditching them in favor of built automatics.

[@stanislavs2661]

lul, they use trucks to haul trucks, last challange almost every single one of them broke down, talkin about reliability, something they decided isn't important in diesel challange. It's neat to see them slap some turbos and lift those trucks, but it's worthless if all they can do is 1.5 dyno pulls.

[@Cailean750]

Stanislav S Yeah. Haha.

[@GIGABACHI]

Put down the FanBoy KoolAid....your retort is totally baseless. These are "higly modified tractors" compared to TopFuel Dragters. ✌

[@stanislavs2661]

Because of 3/5 were townig challanges I just assumed that thay may also be testing trucks for doing what these trucks were originally meant to do - some actuall work. And some of them didn't even handle a single run, it's not very entertaining to watch, though I was interested in that dodge that was going strong without NOS, but it broke down too, lol. There has to be some penalty for breaking down or something, otherwise it's a challange of "Who brought more spare parts with them challenge 2016", let them make less power, but be reliable, that would actually be impressive because more thought, work and engineering would have to go into making such truck. Then maybe they could add a more tecnical, in-depth video of how they achieved such result etc...

[@TheTmaaan55]

It's true that a sled pull is testing their "usefulness" as a truck, but you have to remember that a sled like that is taxing for a freaking semi. Much less a pickup.

[@dugwillis84]

No truck is 'designed' to do a sled pull dumbass. You clearly have no idea the weight of those sleds. It's like 5 times over the rated tongue weight and GVRW for any fullsize diesel. Hence, things break. You're just a jealous Russian probably driving a Lada.

[@TXrapidracer]

This is like the 5-6th year that I have watched this competition. My goal is to someday be out there with those guys but right now I am having to put 3 young men thru college. Lol.

[@SandersChicken]

That 6.7 Cummins was spinnin way to fast!

[@tevinabeysekera6038]

why is there smoke coming out the truck.

[@logancobb683]

Tevin abeysekera it’s a diesel

[@nicksmith1858]

What rims are on that ats ram that that black man was driving

[@dexterlexter123]

Its kind of sad to see the trucks trailered in with lots of breakages this year the cool thing about modding diesel trucks is you can still use them every day when you have to have another diesel truck to tow them around with it loses sopme magic for me.

[@warrentrucks09]

That Power Stroke whooped that Ass.

[@ryancaissie7885]

what happen to all the comui gs and the duramax lol where are all the 3500

[@jeffreycruse4131]

I think they should have to be Street legal

[@grolribasi]

Sorry for the question, I'm not from Us. But what is the purpose of this sled? I mean aside from pulling it with a truck or a tractor? Does it even have a purpose? Is it used in agriculture or something?

[@bismillahmashallah]

How is it that the smallest engine makes the most power

[@blazbohinc4964]

Whoever wins the manoeuvring stage is my winner.

[@frankerzed973]

Cada acelerada é 1ºC na atmosfera a mais

[@TheIndoGod]

Yall Remember. He Did That Shit With No Mirrors

[@harrybushman]

I think all the trucks should be tagged "licensed" to compete to be fair

[@fredsonremond7113]

super vidéo

[@dstallphotos4111]

What happened to road kill

[@bismillahmashallah]

What do these guys get from this besides blowing their engines up several times? I mean this stuff is expensive to rebuild what to they get in return their picture in a magazine?

[@johncase3703]

with all the trucks breaking i was starting to think this was roadkill

[@John_smith118]

Really love this series. Really need to leave KJ Jones off camera next year. We don't need a chubby Darius Rucker recapping for us on things we've just seen

[@Hostilenemy]

"Yes sir".

[@TheroiesofBlaze]

YEAH KEETER!!!!!!!

[@Eltonmartin01]

WHY ARE THERE ANY 4TH GEN CUMMINS?

[@Dev12123]

I'd like to see Neal Torley return!

[@AkronKid330]

So who won the most challenges? Ford?

[@calebbourman8940]

damn I got the same exact truck as him, maybe one day I'll have mine running like his

[@mckinneyproductions2595]

or do an OBS truck challenge. all old Detroits and idi and 1st Gen

[@KevinSmith-qi5yn]

It would be Power Wagons all day long.

[@pcwizzy460]

6.9L IDI. 😎

[@aaronbehindbars]

Charlie Keeter does it without mirrors because winners never look back.
