Sled Pull and Awards Banquet -Diesel Power Challenge 2016
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 авг 2024
- On the final day of Diesel Power Challenge 2016 powered by XDP, each of our 10 competitors hooked their truck to the pulling sled, and attempted to drag it as far as possible across a hard-packed-mud track at Adams County Fairgrounds. After the final pull, we wrapped-up the weeklong competition with a banquet, where specialty awards were presented, podium finishers named, and 2016’s Diesel Power Challenge champion was crowned.
Starting October 10, 2016 exclusively on the Motor Trend Channel, host Brian Lohnes takes you through our weeklong torture test that features 6 competitive events, 10 trucks, and 16,438 combined horsepower and torque at the rear wheels. We push Cummins, Duramax, and Power Stroke-powered trucks well beyond their limits in this search for the ultimate diesel truck and driver.

The black 6.7l Powerstroke is the true winner, was the most reliable overall with the fewest performance parts.
im not a powerstroke guy but that truck was seriously impressive
I prefer the 7.3 but that thing was good
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
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
Koller should be disqualified from winning from the simple fact his name is Koller and he was not roaling coals.
No mirrors guy is awesome... His truck is mean as hell, plus its a 6.0!!!! Seems like a cool guy, he deserved it!
Ian Thompson no mirror guy is Charlie keeter
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.
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!
After this season, Miller should come back. Who cares how much someone wins? It breeds competition.
I thought the same. 😟
Agreed. Lavon Miller's skill piloting that white Dodge is a treat to watch.
I love it all haha but yes I believe stronger trucks would come\ out
Agreed. I stopped reading DPower magazine after all the changes in the past year or so. It's turned into a joke.
Bring in Gary Sweetleaf Miller ....
Props to Kelsie for getting a 7 cylinder broken turbo to pull the sled not all that far behind the leaders!
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.
It melted a piston and blew a hole in the cylinder. Everything needed to be replaced anyways.
Brett Slezak yeah some people just don't understand things
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.
She should have stayed in Canada
First mod to do
remove all my mirrors lol
😂
Second replace transmission LOLLLLZZZ
That's going to be a thing now at sema
Gasoline is for cleaning parts alcohol is for drinking propane is for BBQ'S and diesel is for making power !
and glue is for sniffing apparently
ROTFLMAO...😆😂
Yeah sure bud tell that to the top fuel guys
We need kelsie with her truck fixed next year, that thing got potential
we need the cummins roadkill cadilac next year ;)
Ian Duijsens or Stubby Bob. Just to piss off KJ.
Lexolo999 sad thing stubby bob isnt diesel
Ian Duijsens exactly. Just to piss off KJ.
Lexolo999 :) would be pretty funny
hell ya 6.0 finally took it down!!!!!
I guess money isnt a problem. Yeah we will just fix it no biggie...
Jay Bones
they really let them hang out this year, lots of broken trucks
seriously! how many were able to drive away from the sled at the end... two? That is pushing it to the limit!
Kevin Rogers glad they did too!
Ian Thompson
Ian Thompson
Kerry Slot
I keep expecting the "BAM!" at the end...
Yes!! Same here! XD
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!!
Kind of just makes her dumb. Usually it's msart to not completely destroy your motor.
No everything already needed replaced
"NO" Makes you ignorant to not realize it was all getting torn out the moment we got home.
Kelsie Epp Don't listen to that douche. You probably de-masculated him aha. Your marriage material only book! 👍🎉
Kelsie Epp I guess in you're rolling in cash you're good. Automobiles are expensive hobbies :(
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
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.
Exactly, not to mention sled pulls are not what these trucks are designed for
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.
truck of kelsey still got 4th in a damaged truck . Props
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!!
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!
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.
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.
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.
And he did it with no mirrors!
crazy right
Yeah he drove straight real good.
Too much freedom in one video!
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.
This years challenge was really great! One of my favorite.
Diesels with useless tires, incorrect wheel offset, interior cages, somehwat stripped interior ... DAFUQ is going on with this guys lol
just a bunch of people having fun
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.
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
damn kelsie really rollin in that sled pull challenge and he only had 7 cylinders
and almost made 200ft too!
Yeah pretty good finish for all the problems that truck had.
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!
7 Cylinder NA Diesel.
That's awsome.
Kaur so? 7 i still enough even 4 is
Glad to see a Ford 6.0 show it up this year.
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.
Glad to see Hootie still working after the blowfish break up.
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.
Kelsie is my hero! I'll be watching for you next year!
how come every cummins owner looks like he has dated a cousin
DPC kinda sucked this year. Need more manual trucks, or bring back Levon Miller
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?
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).
Not sure if it's worth breaking your truck over, but respect for the ones that kept going at it even limping.
Reliability is definitely not their strong suit in this challenge.
increasing the HP and Torque 5X from factory, has its downfalls.
None of them here are 5x haha, that new ford did well. I have 500hp and that's reliable
because ford stopped making the 7.3 it was built proof
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
Vinny The Tech yes but ford mass produced it.
It was fun to watch, can't wait to see what they come up with next season
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.
Stanislav S Yeah. Haha.
Put down the FanBoy KoolAid....your retort is totally baseless.
These are "higly modified tractors" compared to TopFuel Dragters. ✌
JIGA BACHI it's part of diesel power challenge, you can go balls out and you'll get more points but potentially break your truck, or you can ease up on it and not get as many points but you're almost 100% going to finish, it's a tradeoff. I promise under normal driving conditions these trucks would be completely fine, you it takes a bottle of nitrous and the load of a giant ass sled to break something on your truck, you're doing something right:
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...
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.
8:51 "They've completely killed one hole"
Watching in the Uk,love this ,Horsepwer heroes.
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.
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.
LOL. This is why i love YTs comments...everyone it's an expert....Even me !!! 😂
would love to see rebuild pics or video when they tear these engines apart
follow @missmaxx on Instagram, I posted the whole rebuild process of my new engine
Kelsie Epp you are really cool!
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)
Should be a tug pull in this competition.
Where is top truck challenge and ultimate adventure 2016
The girl had more balls than any of them dudes hahaha props to her 🔥🔥🔥
Poor Kelsie. Almost had it. I liked that truck. Congrats to no mirrors lol
I think they should have to be Street legal
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"
jon gibson these aren't work trucks anymore. These are built to make power, nothing else
Kelsie was consistent. She would have been in the top 3 with better luck.
6.7 power stroking yeah baby
Yall Remember. He Did That Shit With No Mirrors
keeter's 6.0 is the boss!!!
should do a gasser power challenge. see how many of those break and how they run
That 6.7 Cummins was spinnin way to fast!
That Power Stroke whooped that Ass.
The word of the day is reliability.
Man, that Dodge was a screamer.
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.
"... And I'd done it with out mirrors again." 🙌🏻
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.
I think all the trucks should be tagged "licensed" to compete to be fair
where is miller
Treston Hagen after winning two years he wasn't eligible to come back, they explain it in the first event
Good stuff, can't wait for next year
good stuff! can't wait until the next one
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.
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...
its a 3 liter. i should hope it revs. but does it make any torque, no
Christian H. Considering that these engines usually redline at around 3600 rpm, 5000 is quite amazing.
It makes enough torque to beat up the american pickups😂 just search for the bmw m550d xdrive
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.
Whoever wins the manoeuvring stage is my winner.
Wtf is up with these trucks being pulled by tailer. Make it a contest of road trucks
The trucks that got towed were wounded, they had to be
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.
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.
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
with all the trucks breaking i was starting to think this was roadkill
"Yes sir".
You publishing this better on Roadkill!
Can we get the "Bring back Lavon Miller" chants going?
Charlie Keeter was the only decent competitor with a decent truck, glad he won, and the rest were losers.
Absolutely Great Event!!!!
Charlie Keeter does it without mirrors because winners never look back.
YEAH KEETER!!!!!!!
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?
The guy from destroked needs to restroke that Dodge hahaha maybe he needs the 6.0
3:00 are those Nitto 555rs on there? o.O
How about next year we find some trucks that can actually complete the event without breaking down. The drag race this year was a joke.
More broken trucks heading home. Better luck next year. haha
damn I got the same exact truck as him, maybe one day I'll have mine running like his
haha! there bloody towed!!
He said we will see how she makes out 😂😂
"Broken piston" now that's funny
WIsh the chevy would've leveled his mirrors out. Lol
or do an OBS truck challenge. all old Detroits and idi and 1st Gen
It would be Power Wagons all day long.
6.9L IDI. 😎
super vidéo
I'd like to see Neal Torley return!
Skip to 2:30 to start watching the actual pulls.
much better than formula 1. thx u
Looks like the duramax can't stand up to it, no surprise that the more superior truck won. Ford Power Stroke = Diesel Power!
Cada acelerada é 1ºC na atmosfera a mais
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?
Isn't heavier the truck, easier has to pulling sleds?
Someone needs to bring a modified Hummer H3T that would be cool to see
So what's Trucktrend ?
