What good is tons of power & torque when the trucks just break? lol
i am loving motor trend more and more, so much better than cable tv... this is the future!!!
How does it feel living in the future now lol. Hope you read this and reminisce on the old days 7+ years ago when you typed this
The prize is glory in Diesel Power Magazine, trophies, and an experience they'll never forget. Plus, most of these guys would figure out how to break their trucks anyways, without our help.

Thank you motor trend for posting videos, it’s one thing to read about these but when you watch these trucks in action it makes it more fun.
To my none diesel fans, if you guys think these trucks break a lot, just wait for sled pull, these trucks are push to very limit that there were not design to do. Most of parts on these trucks are custom made and the make of these trucks don’t even matter .
just watch it for the fun of it. and if you don’t like it , well don’t watch it .
modified diesel = unreliableness
they are great engines, but only when you leave them alone
This Truck drivers are Dumb , if you going to tune a diesel engine you Increase the power by 20 or 30 % This Guys are putting 600 to 800 Hp more in engines which were design to uses a 1/4 of the power,
Is like trying to make a Smart 1.0 engine to produce 260 hp when the same was only designed to deal with 60hp of course you going to destroy the engine
Can't think of anything more exciting than this.
Fuck 10.8 time at 130 mph at that altitude with a truck. Damn supercar manufacturers should be ashamed.
That 10.8@130 is impressive to watch. That would demolish like 90% of all cars on the road.
Lovin these Diesel Truck Challenges!!!
All the drivetrain parts are upgraded, but driving still has a lot to do with it. Some of these guys could break something just by looking at it.
Jason Sands, Associate Editor of Diesel Power
That would be fun to watch honestly. Those cars are fun to thrash around since their limits are just easy to get to.
Most people in the challenge had raced their truck before, but never at elevation, and it was giving a lot of the competitors fits. As for the finals, the decision was made to run from the tower, where the rain didn't look that bad. Oddly enough, neither driver said anything about it.
Jason Sands, Associate Editor of Diesel Power
Yeah, I was kinda thinkin' the same thing. This contest points out exactly why I don't ever wanna get into the ordeal of building and maintaining a super-high-output vehicle; things break...a lot. The stress and forces are too great. The life of your parts are simply not going to be that long when you're producing and utilizing so much power. Expensive hobby.
I loved watching truck after truck break on the strip and dyno. Fun to watch anyway!
Hahaha this host/announcer is hilarious!. Absolutely perfect for the job.
It is so sunny outside, can't film without sunglasses.
Thank you MotorTrend for putting this on your channel it's awesome and I'd love to see more diesel power videos on here thanks again!!!!
Yes, they have to be street legal for the challenge. Also, if you notice on the street driving section, most aren't smoking.
Jason Sands, Associate Editor of Diesel Power
This year was very tough on parts, for sure, but that's what you get when you try and push the limits of your vehicle. With all the gung-ho driving this year, a level headed approach can sometimes be the key. If you've noticed that Wesley Beech won all three events on Day Two by being consistent and not breaking, you wouldn't be alone...
Jason Sands, Associate Editor of Diesel Power
I hate to see not all the trucks competing, but that's the name of the game... build it, break it, build it again.
the things torque can do always amaze me.
Woosley's 10.80 was in qualifying, not eliminations. In Eliminations, he couldn't get spooled.
Jason Sands, Associate Editor of Diesel Power
Agreed I've owned all of the big 3 and my DUramax is by far the best, I'm planning on buying another soon.
I Cant Upvote This Enough
They're Inline engines, you are correct.
Jason Sands, Associate Editor of Diesel Power
I love the interior on that chevy. Those seats are nice
Maybe they could do a whole video on that, like a behind-the-scenes. It would be cool to see what they came up with to solve problems and their reactions when things broke.
"if he gives that dodge any throttle the transmission just slips...sounds pretty normal to me...
I say that tribute to the engine not to disparage the truck (entirely)...but man my tq conveter or transmission (depending on which run we are talking) always slipped so much that when I swapped to a 10 speed manual I gained 300 tq and 100 hp without any other mods
I have had 3 Cummins and never had a major problem at all. I have had more problems with Powerstrokes over anything else. I sold my last 07 Cummins for a 06 Duramax and I love it more than anything it is sick. I have some money saved and a loan approved and I'm looking for an 08-09 Duramax right now these motors are just awesome.
Great series guys. It would be more interesting though if you focus on the competitors and their attempts to get the trucks running! Great stuff though
Also, Banean Woosley has to win it. His truck is solid and his name and beard are awesome.
*clarksonvoice:engage* Fastest Truck...in the world! * clarksonvoice:disengage*
One more thing F.O.R.D : fix or repair daily
although im not a ford man, you cant say that here because these are not even close to being stock so you sound like an idiot
Glad you liked it!
Enjoyed the series up to the point that people stopped participating.
something fresh to see.....men's trucks! bad ass! finally we get a proper show about men's toys!
damn if i was driving those trucks on the hills i would of went off roading lol
10 second diesel? i like!!!
Not a big diesel guy here, but when something that big and heavy can do a ten second quarter mile AND get almost 16mpg in the mountains, I kind of want three of them.
Well, it's also how the driver (ab)uses the truck. The guy who's doing the best is also the guy who isn't trying to push the truck past his limits.
I've never seen so many diesels at once with so many problems. Crazy...
It was in May, hence the snow.
Jason Sands, Associate Editor of Diesel Power
I love the f 250 raptor in the background
Broke the transmission due to the bouncing.
Jason Sands, Associate Editor of Diesel Power
Yes, I understand that anyone without any knowledge can connect a laptop to their car/truck and pump up the boost beyond anything near a reasonable amount to make things fall apart.
The guy with the Chevi automaticaly wins the drag race because he has the only truck that works... LOL..
They'd be sweeping that particulate up for months! Some good times for those behemoths!
it is ten degrees out and you're standing there in a t-shirt !!!
Your fine brotha I'm still learning about these amazing engines myself
the 10.80 run is unbelievably impressive.
What fun! Thanks a lot. I'm having a great time.
Watch all the vids. As long as you make it down track you get points and not a DNF. At the end it might be that 1 point that wins it.
They definitely need to realize that they will score a lot more points/get better overall rankings if they'd focus on reliability.
Because the christmas tree turned green for both trucks at the same time. The board still calculated his speed and his run time (from when he left), but the race was won by who crossed the line first. Reaction time, and a solid start is just as important in drag racing as how fast your ride is. They never said why he got out of the hole so slow. Not sure if he missed a gear, or just spun the tires with his 2000 ft/lbs of torque on the wet pavement.
I have enjoyed watching these videos, I think it's great. One thing I must point out is that there are much meaner, faster and more powerful trucks out there. While these trucks are pretty sick, these are mild by some standards. I would have liked to seen the best of the best in this competition. Forget the diesel power magazine part of it and just go find the baddest trucks period!
Ive seen many how to kill/blow up a motor, this one is the best by far.
I agree, but a number of guys are burning up trans parts. I don't consider dropping the trans to swap converters to be easier or cheaper than replacing u-joints/driveshafts.
Oh, I noticed! Some of the guys obviously pushed the power way too high, and could have scored better with lower power/torque ratings. I can't even imagine what happens in the last round. Thanks for the reply, that was very cool of you. :)
If it's smokin, ITS STROKEN!
Woosleys truck is madness! Notice the reliability issues they were having? I think DNF = DQ and a larger field would make this more interesting, like a fight to the death.
"hey drag me" ok "go clunk clunk bang"
My uncle was was the valve. Rain engineer on the early and mid 5.9 cummins
55°F, in a t-shirt, lol
For Woosley to run a 10.807 and get 15.81mpg, that's damn good.
This video teaches me there is a lit of problems with disels.
They're mounting such massive turbos, that's why there is so much smoke. Also, the everyday diesel car in Europe doesn't make 900hp with 1500 pounds of torque.
This is by far the best diesel motor I've ever owned out of the9+ diesel trucks I've worked to shit. We have 3 of them on the farm I only actually own 1, we we have my 7.3 Powerstroke, 2 Cummins that have minor issues,and 1 6.5. Out of them all we work my Duramax to hell and tow fully loaded equipment trailers almost every day it has 300,000 hard worked miles and I've never had 1 problem. I'm impressed with it and didn't think I would I was a Cummins guy but now I'm a Dmax guy.
Why so much hate? Each truck has good and bad things about them... Wesley's 6.4 is tearing it up with no issues and its a "FORD". 2 of the 3 Cummins are pretty much limping along, the '08 Duramax is running well, but the '04 isn't. The 7.3 is out, the 6.7 is ready to blow, and the other 6.4 is slowly killing itself
Lol at those fords breaking down
that second truck was a killer
Yall should have a tv show motor trend
i fucking love this series
Great job
These trucks have all the emissions restricting equipment removed and are worked over to provide A LOT more fuel to the engine.
The trucks are consuming vastly larger amounts of fuel than they were from the factory. Highly modified!
I think the reason that Duramax Chevy made a 16 second pass was because he crossed the staging line when he was spooling... Once you cross that line, the clock is ticking.
man...these truck engines are powerful, has anybody tried putting one in car & running a 1/4 mile with it?
I agree with Charlie......good stuff :)
You should read more carefully... ThePodpie said "people who need them to haul" not "people who need to haul them". And yes a lot of people care about trucks because we need them for our jobs. Not these high power trucks of coarse.
You do know that diesels are way more efficient than most gas rigs on the road? Why even watch if your just gonna run your mouth?
Yeah but its $1.00 per gallon more than gas and people get sick of the thin skin cheerleaders that drive diesels so I guess people will just say want they want to say. Try not to get your feelings hurt sweetheart.
I don't think we came here to watch efficiency.
More than half of these trucks were broken down. What fun.
almost all of those trucks would run 10 seconds if they ran properly lol
The funny thing is that a stock truck would probably score more points than most trucks in there
Cummins is a Dodge engine. Cummins makes the engines for Dodge. I sold over 200 Dodge trucks in 4 years. I had one customer call me back about a problem. Dodge invented the truck, and has always surpassed the competition even though they were always they smaller company. And in 1903 Henry Fords cars were being build by? You guessed it, the Dodge Brothers. So they decided to start their own company.
These are quarter miles at a very high altitude. I PROMISE an Audi Q7 will not keep up with these trucks.. At 1000+ torque and horsepower numbers especially... Emissions testing is not done in most places in the US. I have no catalytic converters on my truck.. If you watched the whole contest, most of these trucks are these guys daily drivers.
Have you ever seen the cost of a combine or even the larger tractors? Those things are more expensive then a lot of exotics.
Damn. After watching the drag race part of this, I am fine leaving my 2011 3500hd stock!
Cut them a break guys. Most of these trucks are built to match the motors but the problem is building anything that can hold 2000ftlbs of torque on a small scale. These guys dont have formula one sized budgets. The trucks themselves and making power with them is relatively cheap. Having custom made parts to upgrade the drivetrain that can hold the power is not.
Appearance trophy for ERIK CLAUSEN ;)
the white cummins that ran the 10 second quarter is pretty much as fast a Lamborghini aventador, but it has 5 seats, can tow and carry heaps, go 4x4ing and looks/sounds the tits.
Bloody amazing!!
Basically what we have learned here is that you can give a powerstroke or cummins 1000hp, it just wont last a week with it.
North Americans make the best Diesel engines in the world that can actually make power. One truck in the comp is standard but shifting 2000ft-lbs is ridiculous. All diesel trucks after 2007 have DPF filters and all states have diesel emissions testing
Torque destroys everything!(horsepower does not)
it is a miracle that they are even able to do a few runs.
and FYI, none of those modded engines have any of their manufacturers parts in them.
This competition is a cool idea, but it almost seems as though any stock pickup off of the showroom floor could beat them because these trucks just keep breaking and dying.
My brother has been hot shot running his 09 cummins for years now all over the US and never a prob with the motor. Hes been through 6 front end jobs and hella tires is all
you do realize the disel engine block is stronger and more reliable, they just have so much boost pushed through these that it breaks. and i would love to see your v8 get 2000ft/lb of torque. is your v8 gasser a pro-mod?
they're running 15-19 second 1/4s not to mention. My 160 HP 04 Accord runs a 15.
yeah you are
The black smoke is mostly unburned diesel.
Dont forget as well as altitude these trucks have done dyno runs and had to pull 10000lb trailers in a drag race. This is a torture test more than anything else.
Gas engines also don't have as much pressure in them nor do they cause as much stress and the amount of torque from a diesel.
