Trials and Triumph, UCC 2018 Part 1 | Power Driven Diesel

[@deathninja007]

You guys have the most determination out of anyone. Break after you break you seem to keep your chin up and still laugh about it! It's pretty spectacular

[@j.harker8311]

Not gonna lie Finnegan sent me here but think im gonna stay. Keep up the good work

[@timdrutowski2910]

Such a crazy but sooo much fun weekend thanks again for letting me be apart of it !!

[@spankey0069]

I love how you guys are fighting for it. Not giving up when lesser men would've. Good job guys!!

[@southjerseysound7340]

You guys are like the 12V Cummins,you just dont give up no matter how tough it gets. BTW I know it was down on power but your launches looked a heck of a lot better. So even through all the bad luck it looks like you're making progress and i see some nice passes in your future ;-)

[@southjerseysound7340]

Can i ask what she 60'd? As for the split block any ideas as to why it failed? Are those sleeves flexing causing the block to fatigue? What brand sleeves where they?I switched to Darton after a similar problem on a BIG HP VW 4 cylinder and we were able to squeeze another 280 from it.I dont know if it was the sleeves or going to a stepped deck that was the key.But we had much better luck on the stepped deck with a small protrusion of the sleeve to really crush the head gasket. This diesel stuff is new to me but does anyone run a stepped deck?I doubt its a problem on a billet block but its something to think about on cast OEM stuff.Anyway,just kind of thinking out loud here.I've got a big build coming up and I'm playing catch up these days.

[@NIGHTLAMP12345678]

What a great bunch of guys supporting you, you all make a great team....more!!

[@scarface-39]

You guys have more hell than anyone I know ,but the good attitudes are awesome!!!!!Keep up the good work can’t wait for part two!!!

[@BLZArmwrestling]

Holy cow thats a shit load of work in q short amount of time. You guys must be exhausted after the UCC. Good job guys you really deserve to win this even next year

[@samuelchartier3684]

You guys at PDD are awesome! Just shows when you work hard and persevere, a bunch of guys who are passionate about their work can accomplish great thing's, good luck with the rest of the UCC challenge

[@demon39063]

I love all of your videos so much. Can't leave me on a cliffhanger like that, though!

[@demon39063]

Unfortunately haha -- don't keep me waiting too long!!

[@Jesse_Caulk]

If Johnny Sendit had a race shop...

[@senditschutte1762]

This is so true

[@mike2191958]

I guess you could tell the story of how hard you guys worked.but glory isn’t always in results as much as the work you put in.hats off to you guys for a valiant effort.

[@Parents_of_Twins]

You guys are awesome. I love your "I'll make it work" mindset.

[@iPROFITDON]

Amazing how much you guys fight through to get this truck down the track.

[@jeffedwards9997]

I think you guys are really great keep up the good work I appreciate the help with the exhaust manifold and The manifold bolts You guys have great customer service

[@klow7361]

You guys are amazing. Cant wait for part 2! With the get shit done motor

[@Straight6Addict]

That was a great Video! I already know the rest since I was there when it happened! You guys are my favorite competitors being the only mechanical truck. Someone has to show these modern guys that mechanical injection still is king in the performance world.

[@Danv941]

You guys rock. Very humble and get stuff done. Love you guys. Been waiting so long for an update video. Thanks.

[@mtbikedude06]

You guys create great content. surprised you don't have more views

[@user-tn7ew2fx1d]

I am so impressed with you guy! You and your teams attitude is inspiring. Your videos are top notch and the editing is superb. I'm on the edge of my seat for part 2!

[@mikestrucks]

Absolutely great guys,with a lot of passion !!! Keep going. Cheers mike from France ;)

[@ks_1111]

This stuff is back to basics hot rodding. Creativity at it's best.

[@burningdinosaurs]

Awwww! Cliffhanger! Dang guys! I can't wait for part 2!!!! Thanks for the video!

[@silkyjohnson389]

You guys upload great content, I've never been much of a diesel guy but i want a 12 valve so bad now!

[@jerrywhittaker1052]

When is part 2 coming? Can't wait!

[@Club86]

Guys this series is awesome loving the detail you go into filming everything 😎

[@richardvera9946]

You guys are bad ass. Are there an events out west?

[@Tyler_Robertson]

It was awesome being about to watch all this in person at ucc! I was by far at y'alls booth more then anyone's Lol such a wicked build

[@24vcummins99]

Awesome video guys can’t wait for part 2

[@bmitchellcco]

I bought a 12 valve after watching your videos.

[@ate0endrizzi]

Why not put straight cut gears in the timing cover and get rid of the helical gears?

[@HunterRitchie]

I know this is a late reply, but straight cut gears "climb" out of the root a lot more than helical gears.

[@sunelarsen]

Comon where is the next part.. can't leave us hanging like that :)

[@adamm74]

Always enjoy watching the videos and how much work and time you guys put into your truck. Thank you for sharing with us. On the drag strip it seems like the truck bounces and surges. Would it be a good idea to put a simple 800hp engine in the truck and line out the suspension so it hooks and books before adding more HP? I understand that might be very time consuming but it’s just a simple idea I had.

[@pierredamours7885]

Awesome work guys cant wait for part 2

[@ryanwood2599]

Like a mini TV series Netflix needs to pick you guys up I'm hooked

[@keatonsamples9330]

I guess thats why the old school sled pullers were deckplating 5.9 12v blocks to move the combustion event out of the block and to lessen the fatigue on the cast iron. I think deckplating a 5.9 typically makes it a 6.4 not completely sure tho.

[@chuckdaly3164]

never say die!! over come any and all obstacles! and keep on Racing!!

[@chuckdaly3164]

wish I could join your team? for now I'll enjoy your videos

[@jasonyoung6420]

"We blew another engine; let's slide another one in and run it till it pops" should be your slogan; I'll workshop it a bit more though - great videos

[@bandabanderos]

Unreal. Can’t wait for part 2! You guys rock. I have a question on that split block. Can you provide rough boost/Power/rpm levels that made it give out? Not looking for any specifics but more what do you think is a safe max level for a stock block. I imagine at 1000cc of fuel you would be around 1300-1500 hp?

[@marcusrussell8660]

Have you ever had or heard of run away diesels?

[@wesleytruax2469]

i cant wait for you to get these engine troubles fixed and get that big engine back together and can make a good pass on the track because I have a feeling that thing will fly.

[@davfrui]

Carnage more like it other than challenge DUDES

[@norcalray7182]

I love the DRAMA. Go big.

[@markrich3271]

Thats what you call winning . Staying up all night to rebuild a engine. I dont have that in me any more . I would of said fuck it. Split blocks always reminds me of the 302s in mustang when I was in my 20s. . Love the grinder on the lathe . Thats one of the first tool I built with my cnc. Still have it. Looks like you need to design a billet cam gear now.

[@sicsempertyrannis8830]

You guys are nuttyer than squirrel shit!!! I love watching you breaking super expensive parts and just keep sending it with back up super expensive parts. Or maybe it's your never quite till we have broke everything we brought attitude that I like . Lol keep sending it!!!

[@pddofficial]

Thanks we try

[@monsterram6617]

12:40 Oil leaks? Look at the hood stack!

[@brothersdieselperformance495]

You guys suck you don't know how to build a 12 valve Cummins you don't sleeve a 12 valve Cummins block you sleeve a 6-7 a 500 horsepower truck with a stomp your ass all day long people love your builds don't know why you blow everything up Hamilton Cams really get a real steel Billet cam I build pulling truck motors we don't break cams

[@tomduncan1970]

I noticed that too.... had to replay to see if I was imagining things. Sounds great though.

[@cj1294]

you upload part to right now or so help me.... lol

[@woos31]

Pretty damn impressive men!

[@BarryMcCockinner6969]

What wheels are those during the drag races?

[@justinvasko3577]

That's a hell of a tow rig! Where'd you find that thing?

[@justinvasko3577]

PowerDrivenDiesel Oh damn that's awesome. What is the motor/trans. Also please do a video of it and the trailer lol

[@Momo33-n8g]

Just a question, what does 650cc meas at 6:03?

[@cs-gj3yf]

injection pump fuel, 650cc is about 1/2 of what the injection pump can flow

[@bushiebodge]

so interesting theses are great thanks heaps

[@aaronbrucker1365]

So this is why my order was delayed for weeks.

[@bigmurph1447]

Aaron Brucker My order was to.

[@aaronbrucker1365]

Sorry to hear

[@aaronbrucker1365]

Nice to hear. Just sucks to watch all the effort you all are willing to put into your rigs for comps and videos about them while orders and customers are put on the back burner. I have nothing bad to say about your products though. That is why I was left stuck waiting for them.

[@clocker1850]

At least they had a good reason they were racing!

[@brandonb8543]

Same here. But who cares. I'm obviously buying through them for a reason. Them going out and doing this and putting "that much effort" make the parts better. It's a real world R&D. Every major performance parts manufacturer does this. The fact they admit it shows a lot for the character as a company. No doubt when they grow and can have ppl in place to manage that it won't be a problem. So please shut the hell up and stop being petty whining about your stupid order. And stop trying to lay guilt on a car guy for doing what he is passionate about. Fucking douchebag thing to say so congrats on coming off like that.

[@jeffbeaird747]

Where’s part 2.? Lol

[@davfrui]

HERD BOUT YA’LL DURING FINNEGANS SHOWS SHOUT OUT TO FINNEGAN !!!!!!!!!!!!

[@martinkadlec6070]

FSM brought me here!

[@tokeypokey]

You sure fucking decimated that block and at only 1000cc. I would have thought the sleeved block would have held a ton that's some old school pulling stuff

[@tokeypokey]

PowerDrivenDiesel 1000cc probably around 1500hp. Which is were normal 12v blocks let go

[@jasontruman1215]

Talk about a cliffhanger!!!!!

[@jasontruman1215]

PowerDrivenDiesel I’ll be patiently waiting.

[@macdrew77]

Whoa that semi you guys rolled up in is badasss. You gotta show us more of that

[@davfrui]

I know Heard- has an “A” in it.

[@TheHoolabalooga]

finnegan's garage brought me here :P :)

[@waynemcfarland4143]

That's a lot of money to go 10s.

[@cs-gj3yf]

10's is if they run bad

[@davfrui]

Diesel stuff

[@gcrauwels941]

[@cokeandwhiskey430]

Love your guys perseverance! And your products! AFC Live is awesome!

[@mrdanger4851]

You all have a tool box FULL of excuses! Looks like you took a good engine and turned it into a $100,000 paperweight.

[@jonmeray713]

What do you drive
