Trials and Triumph, UCC 2018 Part 2 | Power Driven Diesel

[@thankfullife7968]

One thing I truly admire about you guys is the fact that you’re humble enough to tell the world of your trials and overall experience both good and bad and because of this guys I just spent over $1100 with you and will continue to support your company because of your honesty and sincerity. Keep up the good work

[@ecoboostluke1755]

These guys are growing on me. I like to see Lavon Miller win but this is much more satisfying to watch. A team that is having ups and downs but just won’t quit.

[@AspearMotorSports]

I wish I had spare parts to make 1800hp

[@Danv941]

You guys are some damn good "rookie" pullers. I live by "With age comes wisdom" and "you'll never know until you try" Seems like you guys do too. Your videos just keep getting better and better. Keep it up!

[@heidiemmett8364]

This is THE best diesel channel on youtube

[@Powertampa]

The fact you are going for reliability instead of just throwing blocks and heads at it is admirable. The only point of making big power is if you are able to do it twice without rebuilding the entire thing. As much as TopFuel is cool just for the heck of it, actually reliable power of such scale is so much cooler. I used to love watching the Diesel Power Tour, but the carnage just seemed like an insane waste of money, especially since, evidently, you can do the same without breaking half the engine in the process. Honestly, get this darn thing to just not break or need maintenance at all, rock fucking solid, because that's what Diesel is supposed to be about!

[@Rx7man]

The power of top fuelers is on a whole other level though.. 10,000 hp and 7500 ft lbs.. 50 lbs of fuel burnt in 5 seconds. I get your point though.

[@flyingdutchy01]

Came here from Finnigan’s. This channel is awesome! This is probably the most bad ass truck i’ve ever seen! Subscribed

[@bulldozer7656]

Great job, looking forward to new episodes!!

[@davidtetlow791]

Fantastic job. I first saw your video on doubling hp of 12v. Now competing with the big dogs. I'm sold. You will be on top before too long. Amazing skill and brain power. So much in short time.

[@RedmistAU]

Once again i am in awe of your resilience, well done. With the proven transmission and cam/gear/support setup, the next big engine build that you can take your time on, is going to be epic. Thanks for doing what you do.

[@RedmistAU]

Be careful not to spin the planet backwards with the next engine build. Much respect from down under.

[@ryanwood2599]

I find this stuff so exciting how you guys are always on the edge of disaster but find a way to pull through. And how honest you are about the flaws you guys are fun to watch. Will be tuned in

[@harley14501980]

Congratulations on making the cut for next year. I really enjoy and appreciate all the R&D and time y’all put into the 12 valve Cummins

[@mikemiller9119]

Loved the videos. You made us feel like we were having a beer and you were telling us a story.

[@darknessascending2048]

I usually see ntpa pulls but with this truck I was surprised to see u pull n drag the same truck by just changing the axel/suspension in one piece.very cool

[@Tyler_Robertson]

She may be rough but she’s tough and this truck just screams badass!! Hope I get to see y’all again next year at ucc19!

[@dannysteinweg]

When you guys get the truck sorted you will be unstoppable! Thats why I buy parts from you and my wife hates me

[@cornishcat11]

i am so happy for you guys.all the shit that you went through and still made it work. congrats from the uk keep fighting on you are an amazing channel

[@EveretteMartin]

Love the build guys! Cant wait till next year!!

[@brand0n13n]

Coming in 8th after all that tomfoolery is seriously impressive! Nice work!

[@Parents_of_Twins]

You guys are awesome. Congrats on getting into the top 10. I'm sure it's just a matter of time before you all will be sitting on #1.

[@greendodge98]

PowerDrivenDiesel all the way!!!! Hey you guys are awesome and I will do all I can to help you in anyway possible.

[@tylerschmelzer1565]

You guys are inspirational and i cant wait to see you guys show out next year!

[@johnnyfavre1800]

Keep up the good work

[@chuckdaly3164]

Congrats on completion and never giving up! Thats Racing

[@David_TX]

Great job guys congrats on a killer job.. I look forward to following for as long as I can

[@windage]

over a year old vid...and STILL good!

[@bb7549]

Always looking forward to the new video's. You guys are doing a great job.

[@mioutdoorsman]

I'm always pulling for you guys at events showing off that #mechanicalmafia love it man can't wait to see what happens within the next year

[@samuelchartier3684]

Finish 6th, that's awesome you guys get to come back next year, looking forward to it, I'll be rooting for you, go PDD!

[@charlesbaviera4244]

Great job, and attitude, you guys have a great shot at a win next UCC, keep it up.

[@FrenchieFrench1555]

Great video great team and great work. I am your neighbor from the north in SLC. Some day I have to drive down to visit you.

[@gofast4127]

Awesome congrats , you guys put in a ton of hard work , great channel...

[@Jesse_Caulk]

Just awesome guys, gonna be awesome to see what it can really do!

[@jdw329]

So informative freakin awesome u guys love your videos

[@jmiller7880]

I think that Dyno guy was in the deisel power challenge

[@jonmeray713]

I love this truck

[@klow7361]

Amazing content! Cant wait dot the next video already

[@tokeypokey]

I wish my mismatched shitshow made 1800. Hell 800 would be great. And the truck looks badass with the sled axles and weightbox

[@Techangler65]

Cool stuff. Very informative

[@scooter313]

Great job!! Very inspirational!! You guys are an awesome team!! New to your channel. You should have 500k subs? Well done😁👍

[@blondeguy08]

What does an operation like this cost to run? $2million a year?

[@cummins0391]

Great job guys!!👍🏻👉🏻

[@LoganFK]

How many cc's did the pump deliver in "valet mode"?

[@davidallen5976]

you guys are so awesome! wish more people would sub! Keep it up!

[@njinthemj52]

Doesn't concrete expand with temperature? Could be reason for failure.

[@njinthemj52]

Gotcha, very interesting. Man you guys really know how to mess up a Cummins! Fully impressed.

[@perryreasch1499]

to much trouble

[@skro777]

You guys are awesome!! Always feel like my business in top priority no matter how small the purchase! Will, I'll be shipping you my ats soon

[@cj1294]

I remember when I half assed an engine and made 1800hp lol

[@roosterhunter6245]

That dude is a brave S.O.B. standing next to a drive shaft with 1850 HP going through it!

[@charliebardo6255]

Rooster Hunter I've seen drive shaft parts go a long ways I'm really surprised they don't have some kind of shields to catch shrapnel. He's a brave dude

[@NIGHTLAMP12345678]

The Dyno Guy obviously hasn't been next to a runaway or exploding engine....he needs to watch you tube to see why he need to be else where.....

[@Parents_of_Twins]

Ignorance and bravery are often confused.

[@jdirt1982]

At least some fuckin eye protection....

[@bigfluppus5461]

@@charliebardo6255 on pulling trucks they do, the have covers that fall on the turbo intake also

[@ShainAndrews]

Probably the only guys that showed up to a competition with a valet setting. Who does that! LOL

[@ShainAndrews]

You guys have some hustle. Some hustle on a power plant most have forgotten by now. I remember following along on CF as you were building AFC Live. Looking forward to your adventure.

[@goutvols103]

Maybe a dyno test check list would help.

[@thejunkshop5022]

they never gave up

[@JBAutomotive794]

"when in doubt, throttle it out!" - gonna apply this to everything everyday! You guys are awesome, thanks for the Channel!

[@Clones2011]

Fun series thanks guys

[@cj1294]

about damn time... I've been waiting like a whole day.

[@burningdinosaurs]

Excellent work guys! So glad you ended up pretty well for what you started with! Thanks for the video!

[@scottphillips1956]

Y'all learning what it's like to be truck pullers. We live on stress time and getting her done good run

[@scottphillips1956]

PowerDrivenDiesel yes. It's a small page. We put are pulling videos on there. Just a couple street altered gas trucks. Soon to be a street altered Cummins next year

[@woos31]

Again........that is IMPRESSIVE! 8th place after blasting a block like that and an overnight rebuild with parts that were never spec'd to each other, and to absolutely thrash on those parts............man that's just plain awesome. The silver lining though is after 2 hooks on the sled with the truck jumping off the ground and the trans still being 100%! Holy shoot you pretty much have a year to figure out the engine stuff.........cuz that trans build doesn't need a thing!!! Keep up all the videos guys, you've got your stuff on point and more people will want to see the 'dinosaur power' as everyone refers to it because you guys are a contender in that deal after what you went through this year.........they'll show, you built it.......they will come

[@marcushert2759]

I'm also a huge fan of the dinosaur! I really hope you guys are able to keep the motor together next year and show the world you can still do it with one pump and without EFI. Keep it up!

[@kittadyne]

Awesome videos! And thanks for getting part 2 out so quickly, it had me grinning the whole time I was watching!

[@-ouv]

1:41 Andrew Armstead RIP bud

[@-ouv]

@@pddofficial yeah he was a great friend of mine from Michigan. Always talked pulling and always listened to his podcast. Was a real shocker when it happened. I went to UCC 17 and we lost contact for a bit and saw him and was so awesome to see him, same time I was looking at your truck in line for the drag racing. Last time I saw him. I'm not going this year unfortunately and would be a great tribute to him for me but I will be there in 2020.

[@vrock265]

Great video. 👌👌 I am not building trucks or heavily modifying my 97 12v, but really enjoy seeing what you guys are able to do. So much ingenuity, time, effort and $$ required. Also really appreciate your candid openes and telling us what you are doing. So many others its all a big secret. Thanks again and always look forward to another video. Good job.

[@aurthordog]

Fun!!! And you give me enough technical info so that I'm not bored. Very interesting. Looking forward to next year and....all the videos between now and then, incorporating new tech into what you have already done. Laughing, have fun my friends.

[@TheDaveFL]

I'm sorry you guys had such crappy luck but I do appreciate you guys showing us the up's and downs of diesel performance instead of leaving all of your troubles on the editing room floor. Speaking of editing, I really like the effort that goes into your videos.

[@abrahamsalcido9174]

The dedication & devotion you guys are putting into these builds will prevail.you guys are moving mountains keep up the great work and keep rolling the bean footage. As always can't wait to see what's next. !!!

[@octane613]

Holy shit the amount of fucking power to stretch the headbolts on a Cummins... Probably well over 2k...

[@markwood2389]

Im sure you said...But what kind of trans do ya'll use...that truck is so allsome! I think you guys are very good at what ya do! Some people work all year on there trucks for this event!

[@juliangrossinger712]

Good job guys truck is awesome hopefully I will be back there next year set a good example never give up 👍👍👍👍

[@jeffh6971]

Awesome you guys were able to overcome so many potentially detrimental obstacles, and placed top 10! Congrats and good work!

[@ifukedURgurl]

The editing is on point. Feels like I'm watching a tv show from Spike TV. Sub 4 Life!!!!

[@thehappytexan]

So glad you found a cam gear solution! Can’t believe one trans made the whole weekend. That’s a huge testament to the builder.

[@garycraig4277]

So maybe you could tell me when the test and tune is in Grand Junction I only live about an hour away and would really love to come see you guys run

[@reggiewest2702]

You guys have to get the wiring in that truck cleaned up. Still an awesome truck!!

[@gcrauwels941]

Two things always happen at the track . Exposing weak links and the desire to make more hp .

[@nitrousboy0311]

I'm not a diesel guy and I don't even have a diesel vehicle but these videos,are addicting to watch!

[@dainelc3622]

1000 hp on valet mode, best joy ride that minimum wage worker will ever have.

[@Thesongstaysthesame]

I know it’s a hike but would guys consider bringing that monster to Canada?

[@Dave-but-why]

mad! i just cant believe the revs with that giant pin hanging off the end of the rod!

[@jasonyoung6420]

In this episode, we don't blow an engine! (just the headgasket).

[@jerrywhittaker1052]

Another great video guys! Unbelievable!

[@antidote400]

@PowerDrivenDiesel thats a nice torque wrench who makes it ?

[@charlesbaviera4244]

You guys are what real racing is about, great job $$$

[@peytonhoward]

How much torque did you make on the dyno pull?

[@hoss5299]

All I can say is "out fucking standing"

[@CumminsDriver]

Thanks for the great video! Id love to see you guys put that mechanical engine in the winners circle. It seems like you guys keep a good attitude towards things even when it isnt going your way. I think a lot of the time that is what can keep you in the game. Maybe next year ill come watch it live, itd be nice to come check out the setup in person and talk for a minute

[@woodyouderkirk694]

Don't say whoah in a tough spot ! \

[@rustyshakelford4232]

I'm a Ford guy, have a 6.Joke. (Yeah yeah, I know.) But I still love watching your stuff, because you seem like the least douchey Dodge guys I've ever seen. Ya'll are awesome. I know it's a long time later, but I just watched your install with Finnegan, and had to come sub. I hope your channel grows, you guys are great.

[@rustyshakelford4232]

@@pddofficial Yes!

[@magicman_metal_fab]

I always enjoy watching your videos even though I don’t own a diesel truck. 🤙

[@wesleytruax2469]

glad you qualified for next year i think you will be a top contender. you guys are some resilient mechanics and great engineers. you need to make a video going over your beater truck because that thing is pretty quick too and more like something the regular guy would build.

[@alexerickson5420]

You guys are awesome.

[@thomascowart2634]

mopar do I need to say more?

[@garycraig4277]

I love the vidioe

[@bcdieselsc]

My favorite group to watch...I don't even own a 12v let alone a dodge but I root for you guys every time! Trials and Tribulations

[@markrich3271]

Todd, you guys ever think about , or have you tried running a ported 24v p-pump?

[@markrich3271]

Yes most are your right . Thats why I was curious . Everything I read says a 24v head with its head cleaned up ( parting lines & valves unshorded ) says the 24v flows just as good as an aftermarket 12v head. Have you guys flow tested one? I was just wondering.

[@hugelandmonster]

Thrse Cedar City boys know wassup!!! One of the best channel on. KZbin. They give real technical information in each video; the education provided with their determination, they will definitely grow. If they add some 6.7 Cummins, they will be the go-to Cummins source!

[@gmjason75]

I was so stoked to see you guys compete with that monster engine setup and modded timing cover for the cam biz. Was wondering why it seemed that you guys were not performing as well as expected. Makes sense now & MAN, what an impressive go it for ya'll!!!! You guys would be top 5 for sure once that engine gets figured out 🤟👍🏻👍🏻 So cool to see your transmission holding up so well too... you've got an order from me when the time comes for sure. All the info you guys share is awesome of ya'll too. Very informative and helpful for anyone interested in learning more 🍻👍🏻

[@BaseSRKI]

Awsome!

[@HulloItzMe]

Typically don't comment on videos but man, this video format you guys did for this mini series was absolutely amazing. If you guys have watched the new avenger movie and loved it, this was the same for me. On the edge of my seat the entire time for this. Great job!

[@MAGADT]

Y'all guys are awesome. Slowly building a 01 Cummins for diesel nats next year in Texas. Will definitely be supporting y'all and buying parts from y'all. Keep up the good work guys.

[@bernhard8540]

oh man all that bad luck feels familiar but im glad you pulled out of it and its good

[@pddofficial]

Yeah thanks

[@jasontruman1215]

Just finished watching, awesome job guys!!!!!! Good stuff. Can’t wait till next year.

[@sunelarsen]

looking forward to next year, really wanna see what that solid engine is capable of. You guys went above and beyond this year with all the setbacks while still getting top10 !
