Truck pulls wheelie, amazing power

Sometimes truck drivers have to do what they have to do in order to make the delivery on time, much like this guy.

Real truckers make their engines last, not roll coal! And besides he would get a hefty fine if they caught him rolling coal lol.

[@Romans--bo7br]

The main reason that the older diesel (semis) rolled coal was due to turbo lag time... coupled with the fact that the older turbochargers were Not as efficient in compressing air as they are now. For the most part, diesels in semis, Or any truck for that matter in the US and Canada.... did Not see turbocharging until the early - mid 1970s, and up until they started putting turbochargers on the four strokes... the little 2 cycle GM Diesels (Detroit Diesel after 1965) consistently walked all over the NA (Naturally Aspirated) four cycle Macks, Cats and Cummins... especially on the grades. Anyone rolling coal today.... mostly idiots with diesel pickups, are just showing the world that what they have is a complete mismatch of fuel and Air ratio, with a turbo that is incorrectly matched for the amount of fuel delivery.... while also giving the EPA a good reason to pass even more stringent laws... regulating such "upgrades" on diesel powered pickups... like we don't have enough regulations already!! Did anyone else notice that after all that extra strenuous pulling on the drive train getting up the grade in this video... that the video ended, just as he bottomed the low-bed out on the crest of the hill??.... locked him down, good and solid. Also, that KW has Planetary rear drives, definitely set up for heavy haul in regions with hilly terrain.

[@BenjaminEsposti]

_"The only reason that the older diesel (semis) "rolled coal" was due to turbo lag time..."_ Also, any diesel engine can roll coal - modern or old - if it has a stuck injector.

[@LethalBacon479]

You're confusing DEF with DPF. DPF is Diesel Particulate Filter and does indeed resemble an oversized grenade in the exhaust system. It either has to be regenerated with heat OR taken out and cleaned. DEF is Diesel Exhaust Fluid and is Urea injected into the exhaust to reduce NOx.

[@markmcc78]

well said, and yes i saw that bottom out, that's a pretty steep grade.

Happens more often than even some drivers who did similar realize. I recall a time when I wanted to get to a prime camping spot. I was driving a '71 Chevy 1 ton PU 2WD loaded with a 10 ft camper and gear GVW 9,000+ Lb. Stopped at the top of a 25yd steep ruff downhill down the last bench to the river to take a look. I elected to try it but GF and her daughter chose to walk rather than ride. Put it in granny and went down thru a big whoop in the middle a bit faster than planned lifted both front wheels and landed hard in time to stop and turn before swimming. Girls said nothing and we camped over the weekend. Sunday PM when nearby camps were leaving one of them came by in a 4WD Jeep Wagoneer and commented on my 2WD, asked if I wanted a tow out.Told him no thanks I got in and we were planning to stay till Wed and I could get myself out. He left shaking his head. Wed came and we packed up and left. Again the girls chose to walk. I took it uphill a bit slower and powered out but noticed some frame twist during the process. Got to the top, girls got in and all they said was " not bad you only got one front wheel off the ground 3 ft this time". I proceeded 40 mi home. I noticed some strange performance when shifting gears on the way home and next day checked things out under the hood. I found I had torn one of the front motor mounts completely apart (The rubber) and replaced them both. That was not the last time the torque of that HI performance 350 tore one loose either over the years. That big heavy camper provided me lots of traction but traction combined with torque and a lead foot put extra strain on the engine and trans mounts, U joints and the driveline center carrier bearing. Still all in all a very Tuff truck I drove for 30 yrs.

@@dwmdwm4607 I'm nowhere near sure that I'm right, and I have never even held a CDL, let alone driven something like this, so it's fine if you don't want to give me any credibility. I said what I said because a driver that delivered something for a former employer of mine that was permitted for both over height and over weight told me a little about the process. He said that before he was allowed to leave the yard, the state DoT agency sent local law enforcement to weigh each axle and be sure that they were within the limits on the permit the company had bought. Obviously this would be done on flat ground. I suppose you can berate this driver if you want to for not readjusting the slide to climb the hill, but it seemed like he knew what he was doing.
