Sled Pull & Winners Announced - Day 5 of 2014 Diesel Power Challenge!

[@trevinbender2532]

When that 7.3 started bouncing and he was bouncing his head of the roof that was pretty funny!! 7.3 power!!! 2 bad he was the only one with a manually like a real man

[@stephenherrera2015]

That 7.3L was a fuckin beast. I thought it was going to explode. International did something right with that monster engine.

[@SONOFAZOMBIE2025]

The marketers for this event need to get whipped - lol $1000 for winning, $500 for 2nd, and a fuck you for the rest. lol They won't even be able to afford to pump up their tires on the way home! lol

[@arch417powersports]

Should be 10,000 for first place!

[@tcv4]

archinuk417 There obviously isn't a huge market for this. The guy that one was using a 10 year old truck.

[@KevinSmith-qi5yn]

They updated the prize from a $100 Chile's Gift card?

[@ash22111991]

If you don't place top 2 you deserve nothing. Go home and try again next time lol

[@t045t2346]

The prize for winning drag week is a jacket and no money at all and that is a better competition in my humble opinion

[@marshallmcdowell3369]

Love to see an OBS ford 7.3 still out competing. It didn't make the power that the newer powerstrokes did but at least it's reliable enough at 20 years old to compete in this competition. I have a dually the same year model with 320k miles on it and it's my daily driver. The 7.3 is a great engine and I'd love to see international make it again

[@johnnybabee9095]

+marshall mcdowell 95-97 Super Duty Fords are the best looking Ford pickups period!

[@Poorexampeofhuman]

Never will. Old technology outdated an just can't compete with the newer engines

[@dwarf365]

AWWWW The Dyno Queen couldn't go 150 miles. LMFAO!

[@sydneypaillet4055]

Dodge did awesome but that 7.3l hung in there and was bouncing like a bull!!! OMG 😏

[@zackfraser8924]

Power stroke for days!!! Gimme that 7.3

[@hershy314]

A Ram takes the win, Fords did fairly well, but Chevys just dropped like flies.

[@tcv4]

Yes, those heavily modified trucks featuring who knows how many original parts sure didn't compete for reasons that weren't completely clear. How silly is it to call out a company's vehicle when you don't even know if whatever isn't working is factory or not?

[@hershy314]

tcv4 that is true but no body is looking at that way.

[@dtroy15]

tcv4 The reliability and robustness of the aftermarket parts available for each respective brand is as critical as the same properties of the original parts themselves. Mopar parts have a reputation for quality, and that showed here. Who leaves their trucks stock anyways? I take it you're a bowtie guy.

[@airsoftsnipes100]

the trucks are so modified it doesn't really matter

[@hershy314]

again no shit, but like I said no body is going to look at it that way.

[@EGGINFOOLS]

Im glad to watch these events. I dont care which manufacturer wins. I would love to see a gas powered competition too.

[@Kastro876]

They should've given that dude with the obs ford a honorary prize.... So badass

[@StephenMc2000]

Cummins Power!

[@tariqalmahruqi898]

1st, 2nd & 3rd for Ram. Not bad

[@justhes]

I always like watching the front wheels of chevy truck go > < when taking off.

[@Qtip218]

putting more fuel in your tank isnt going to make your mpg any better hahah truck still burns the same amount of fuel no matter how much is in the tank

[@ohblondi]

I thought the exact same thing, Like if he needs that little bit of extra fuel in there just to go 150 miles theres something wrong. Plus he's just making his truck heavier.

[@JohnnyAnderson1]

if you can get an extra gallon in it at the first fill up that your not going to be putting in it at the second fill up then yes... you would be cheating the calculator and on paper you would get better fuel mileage.

[@dwarf365]

Fullforce LTX Thanks for your reply. Thats what I thought. So he didn't get caught? I think they would have said some thing.

[@JohnnyAnderson1]

Thats what I was thinking too??? 2 trucks did it so im not sure if they all did it or not? either way thats completely stupid and shouldn't have been allowed

[@dwarf365]

Thumbs up people!! I want answers from the man!!

[@aw4643]

The fords could of done better if they had a different setup

[@toadstl]

Great show! Can't wait to see the one for 2015!

[@Fradias11]

To me the sled-pull doesn't really make much sense as a challenge.. I mean, it's super fun to watch but it's not a fair competition. It isn't testing the truck itself, it's testing the tires. When they stop it's not because the truck can't pull any longer it's just because it's got no more grip so it just spins the tires. I'm not trying to diss sled-pulls here, I'm just saying what I think. If someone used correct arguments to prove me wrong I'd actually apreciate it.

[@sik59rt]

Well then that means low pro tires are the best at sled pulls since that white ram out pulled them all

[@DrDrdreydrey]

Traction is with out a doubt extremely important but that is just as true for the drag events. The trucks that did well on the tractor pull were ones that avoided too much bounce and that has to do with suspension setup rather than pure tire traction. Also as with most of the challenges huge stress on all engine and driveline components. And diesel power challenge has a one set of tires rule meaning tire selection is a big part of the strategy anyway.

[@Clutch_Kick187]

Come on dude the white dodge with street tires won, which are not the best at pulling in dirt, and just so happened he had the most torque of any of the trucks...don't know what you were watching...

[@tevsil1]

These guys are not only right but your telling me if I put big grippy tires on my 1987 ram 50 im gunna kick the shit out of everyone out there lol

[@georgeharding4180]

Torque was what won the White ram the sled-pull, can't argue with 2000 ft-lbs. The other trucks had between 1600-1800. 200-400 torque can definitely make a difference more than tires.

[@montyrocks25]

Fuck yes Cummins power all the way.

[@dreadnoughtprime6301]

That's cute. Lol Let me know when you want a real truck.

[@montyrocks25]

Don't worry it is that's why it won.

[@whyisntenstavalible]

montyrocks25 now he's gonna have to buy a new trans. just like all the other cummins

[@MilpiGmAfIA]

Are you mad because the cummins produces the most torque?

[@montyrocks25]

whyisntenstavalible well the new big red Powerstroke lost 2nd and 3rd and his turbos would not spool and two D-max's shit there pants.

[@Masterdome95]

Pulling a sled with an automatic transmission makes no sense what so ever.... Fail.

[@DorDor400]

Hardly a fail considering the autos it didnt break, and pulled further than the manual. Manual shifting a truck tranny, while dragging a sled, good luck. During your slow shifts in a long throw transmission your going to lose boost and drop power. Autos shift faster, smoother and you can adjust line pressures to make it shift even more efficient, faster, and harder and maintain boost better. Your comment = Fail.

[@grizzlycanman4261]

Dora D-Explora that's also why they said he had to pick a gear and stick with it the whole time

[@DorDor400]

Brett Koberlein not sure how that justifies his comment at all. Auto is Still is more efficient, and would keep the truck in optimum torque range. Where being stuck one gear would max out torque and rpm wise.

[@grizzlycanman4261]

Dora D-Explora every time he let off it stabilized the truck a little bit rpm went down and got back into it. So he was still in that gears optimum power range for that great

[@grizzlycanman4261]

Gear*

[@MaliciousSRT]

Cummins owns the podium - as usual

[@whyisntenstavalible]

as usual? ford had it last year.....

[@cfguy8198]

derp.

[@10x_ranger39]

I think cummins always has an unfair advantage because dodge doesn't even make the motor. They take a motor from Cummins, a company that builds huge tractor and semi truck motors because dodge can't build a decent diesel motor.

[@boarderboiii]

Ford has won 3 out of five challenges Chevy and dodge have won one each.

[@tcv4]

10X_Ranger Duramax is co-developed with Izuzu, a company that has a lot of experience with diesels. I mean, this isn't exactly as competitive as it could be, the guy that won was using a 10 year old truck for pete's sake. I'm surprised we're not seeing more 2010+ heavily modified trucks.

[@arch417powersports]

The Cummins did pretty well!

[@teds4983]

Ya only 1st,2nd and 3rd

[@jordanlawrence7546]

Diesels are not meant for racing respect these trucks people they are meant for pulling

[@quickguesswho]

The drag race was the worst... They wouldnt let u go as fast as you could, its a drag race come on

[@jjd281]

need drive shaft hoops and roll cage among other stuff to "be allowed" to go that fast.

[@KevinSmith-qi5yn]

I bet next year he comes with a roll cage.

[@larryfine6013]

rules are in place to keep everyone safe

[@jeromeburrasca6710]

MOPAR is just kicking the shit out of everyone this year!!!!!! ;o)

[@mikegoss5111]

Quincy,if u fill it up tilted 1st time then next time don't tilt it u put in lessgas

[@favrehater3541]

Bring out the brooms, its a Cummins sweep!!

[@RevAKAtheRevel]

Great show and challenges, nice one

[@SSZaris]

This is awesome! You'd never get this kind of stuff here in NZ. Another reason America kicks ass.

[@Thee_Sinner]

Has this just become the 'Trucks and rat rod channel' where did all the other channels goes..?

[@MrGarycharters]

wow you have to pay for use of the air? crazy.

[@JeremyPetho]

Maybe it is high performance air

[@superpug666]

its like that at most places up here (quebec) they say it pays for the machine and the maintnance lol

[@nabdernagor4867]

California passed a law a few years ago requiring it to be free, hell even as a kid the gas station guy would turn it on for us for free to inflate our bike tires. Kinda ridiculous that they still make you pay in some places.

[@superpug666]

Nabder Nagor when i was a kid(im 34) it was free :(

[@teds4983]

@@nabdernagor4867 it's not free in Texas

[@TheDutyPaid]

What are the general rules for this, could I enter a Challenger 2 tank?

[@888johnmac]

guess you could.. as long it's a diesel ( lol )

[@jjbonedi1]

You wouldnt win a single competition unfortunately. Except the sled pull.

[@sethraymond1201]

I love this video

[@alexlsx8187]

Dodge is the best

[@fallen6191q2w]

6:12 I'm a hard core Chev guy at heart, but that right there is one of the most bad ass fucking things I have ever seen.

[@dwarf365]

Makes the end result look better if filled normally the second time? Thats the only thing I can think of :s

[@dwarf365]

dwarf365 sorry mis-replied for some reason. sorry.

[@n8dh]

literally

[@oONoChanc3Oo]

Ram trucks ftw! Also these trucks sure break a lot.

[@dreadnoughtprime6301]

To all you cummins powered Dodge fanboys, go ahead and look at last year. The track was worse and yet one Ford almost gept on trucjking off into the road.

[@AustinElwess]

28 mpg through the mountains in a diesel pickup?? thats insane!!

[@peralez2383]

Horrible editing, and this years competition sucked

[@thepeeve]

Um did anyone realize that the winner, Miller, did the whole competition with a baby in the back? lol

[@MrBrockberg]

well in 2016 u need to get all ten of the winners back for a champions DPC

[@tonyreimer4455]

Dodge only on the podium thats dope

[@fluffykittynoodles]

REALLY want to see a 7.3 win this one time. Kinda tired of seeing Cummins taking it home.

[@BullittOutdoors]

Ford 6.4 has won the last two years

[@arcounited]

Don't care for the drivers course but should come up with something that shows the drive-ability of each of the trucks. Also NOS sucks should be fuel only competition. Loving CUMMINS finish 123

[@marshallmcdowell3369]

I own a 95 powerstroke. I love seeing that old iron still laying it down

[@neurotoksin]

This just confirms my love for Cummins and Dodge trucks!

[@BocaChevy]

I love this challenge, it is very entertaining. The problem is that it always makes me want to sell my gas truck for a diesel. One day I will have a 11 sec, 25+mpg, can tow whatever I want diesel powered Chevy!

[@Towel1e]

You need to pay for air? What the actual fuck?

[@ALSHDYDY707]

Ram cummins Hell

[@RumblestripDotNet]

Should have stated what the fuel economy of the top 3 was

[@ncktbs]

its there 3:17 nearly 28mpg for first place

[@RumblestripDotNet]

I thought those were points, not MPG numbers

[@tuolumne9]

Im an American and all this stuff just makes me embarrassed and shake my head. There's a difference between America and 'Murica, and sadly Motor Trend seems to be tending to the latter

[@Ry666]

Ohh i get to see some more of the "built for dyno" rig.

[@R0CKSTAR023]

Yeah that sure got him far in this competition...

[@mikes85supra]

I'm a Chevy duramax owner, but my hats off to clearly the hardest working truck this week! LOVE THE WHEELS!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@delphi-moochymaker62]

Affordable?? I just looked up the price in Canada. For a moderately equipped model, out the door with taxes etc. you're looking at about $95K!! I guess their definition of affordable is a little different than mine!

[@jaimecruz2013]

I've always liked diesel trucks but was worried about the fuel economy when I'm towing and when I'm not . How can I get my future truck to get 27 mpg? Please help.

[@JasonWaterfalls13]

Congrates to Lavon Miller!!! I know him from CompD and he is always friendly and happy to share his knowledge. Truly a stand up guy all around. Super jealous of his awesome truck too.

[@evanbarsy185]

This is a challenge of the individual builds, not which company makes a better truck. None of these are stock engines, suspension, wheels/tires or barely anything at all for that matter.

[@russellbluewolf6427]

i dont own a diesel truck but ive thought about getting one..do they make any small pickups with diesel engines in the states? All i have seen are full size pickups with diesels...I think the EU has some but i dont know how feasible or expensive it is to import one to the US..

[@mikegoss5111]

Most of these trucks seem to be over powerd,think maybe around 650 hp 1600lb tq u could probally bulletproof everything at that power level

[@irishsavage8715]

Typical Chevy owner....just quit and go home😂😂😂 just kidding I love Chevy gas trucks

[@Fisherman99]

@Jonathan Gonzalez the trucks stop because they simply cant pull the sled no more as the truck pulls the sled a giant weight slides up which drives the sled into the ground making it harder to tow and eventually the truck cant pull it no more and will just spin its tires looking for traction

[@BobTheBreaker9]

wheres the chevys? I thought they outpull everything...according to the internet anyway

[@R1FamilyR1]

I think it's cool that there is a group somewhere doing something you like. Whether or not the money is good or the rules are what everyone agrees on, there will always be something you can have fun doing. Big ups to those who kept us watching. Those trucks are titties.

[@brandontyrrell12]

Does that guy have a bionic arm?

[@sstroh08]

Did that say Danick St. Pierre averaged 27.81 mpg?!? Or is that points? Impressive if so!!

[@demamp]

Pretty awesome Diesel Power Challenge this year!!! Loved all the trucks in this comp, especially that big red f350 and that red cummins, that hood stack was awesome, I'm a sucker for that!!! Can't wait till next year!

[@LJRossPhoto]

7:16 Absolutely stunning! Dodge definitely has the best looking trucks. Not to mention that Cummins engine!

[@CMEZ97]

It's sad that Diesel Power challenge is over ... but i'm happy that all the Cummings took the top 3!

[@thepanduuh]

All three were Cummins!! #CumminsMasterRace

[@nickx831]

Well Cummins had to win once atleast. Every other year 6.0 and 6.4 win. Isuzu stands no chance.

[@4wdsome444]

“Have to stay in one gear” I’m sorry as a truck-tractor driver, I can tell you first hand a good driver can change gear keeping wheel momentum and staying well within boost

[@ChooseLanes]

The show this season looks very rushed like they were trying to fit everything in very random and all under 15 minutes.

[@swsephy]

These videos have been great! Definitely helping my Roadkill withdrawals.

[@maxnewellmz8025656]

i wasn't impressed by any of these trucks for any of the competitions. for my money they are all trailer queens

Yes MotorTrend fuckin up shit doing thing's cars and truck were never built for

[@1hdsquad]

Does somebody have the ruleset for the dpc? Id like so see which trucks are allowed to compete and so on...

[@NoxNoctisUmbra]

Congrats Lavon Miller and the team!!! My favorite must be Dan Howard and his old Ford! That thing still works!

[@allwrathnograpes]

this kind of proves that lifting your truck is pretty silly

[@Jask1717]

The drag race rules were stupid. and for this last challenge it looks like a great way to fuck up your truck.
