I'm pretty sure that the 15 seconds he spent flooring it and sitting still was just to wind up the jet engine sized turbo that things has. You can hear it winding up faster and faster the whole time.
They run them trucks in 4x4 drive it was just burning the front tires also until it gripped and was gone lol my dad has a 2012 Dodge cummins power wagon tuned up with huge turbos if he's going to race he puts it in 4x4 but you have to buy after market differentials and axles if you don't get top of the line front end components the stock peices can't take that much torque his runs mid 10s what a ride love the Dodge cummins engine
Thanks guys, I had no idea a diesel could be built like that. I've owned several Camaros and Firebirds that could get up and go but I guess the next time a diesel pulls up next to me at the light I'll have to give him a little more respect. That is one badass truck!
Why are there so many environmentalists commenting on this shit. Honestly we wouldn't be able to fart without an environmentalist trying to say "thats bad for the environment" lol. Honestly gas and diesel have been running for YEARS and I honestly don't see it stopping for atleast 10 or 20 years. Take a chill pill.
Redliner3 It's here. The treehuggers are complaining about COW farts. YES I am NOT making this up. grazing animals have been on this earth before GOD put modern humans on earth. And they complaining about COW farts melting the icecaps.
Personally, I love the Farm Truck (I say proudly wearing the t-shirt). In 2011 Farm Truck ran in the 11's in the 1/4. I would love to see how it would run at Bandimere. I'm afraid speed wise, its a bit slower, but cool factor way out in front.
I hate it when people are like "Thanks for polluting the world assholes." It's okay, its really funny whenever there Prius gets fucking demolished by 3/4 ton anyways.
You're not going to get off that easy my friend, LOL.... You related diesel engine torque with trains. Since the diesel does not connected directly to the drive axels the torque from the diesel doesn't matter. The only reason trains use diesel generators they are more efficent and have a longer lifespan than gas and steem powered engines. And yes, there are gas powered locomotives, matter of fact, they were around before the diesel.
TheRedbikemaster What Ass Van is saying is the diesel engines on a train power the generators which are not what is causing the train to move, that's obviously the electric engines... powered by said generators.. Though I believe electric motors have higher (and instant) torque compared to petrol/diesel engines though this is like comparing apples to oranges...... Here in England most trains are powered by diesel engines.
I hear Cow farts pollute the air as well....one fast Diesel Pickup dont make a shit difference on the atmosphere. Think of the 100's of thousands of semi trucks on the road. Thats one BAD ASS Pick-up right there!
Right You caught me. I actually had the string tied to the sun and of course you always want to place the "fake" announcer over the engine effects because that makes it "cooler" lol
@ W806D - There are some sources for getting a higher revving cam for your Cummins, but those things aren't cheap that's for sure. :) Thanks for checking out the video and posting!
He didn't.. after his global warming speeches Al Gore and his buddies jump in a stretch h2 hummer lol @ global warming. Diesel is better for the environment then any gas engine and electric cars and there batteries are the worst
There is a reason why most vehicles are diesel.... because its more economical. 1: Soot turns in to biodegradable soil (If it lands in the right place of course) 2: Higher torque=Less revs=Less fuel usage 3: All super cars are petrol because that can burn at a higher RPM... but that uses alot of fuel so please... stop bitching
+julio lausell Diesel is the Most fuel efficient combustion engine. Well tuned the exhaust is soot made of carbon. Almost everything is made of carbon and water which are the two main byproducts. Why? Diesel fuel has a much higher burning temperature. The temperature and high compression compression alone of the fuel/gas mixture causes it to self ignite making sure most if not all the fuel is burnt. Gas is Not as fuel efficient / economically friendly as diesel. Why? Petrol has a much lower combustion temperature. Requiring a lower compression pressure. This also means that its much harder to control the detonation of the petrol. Hence why they use spark plugs. The spark plugs give the slightly more unstable fuel a way to combust when we want it to. Unfortunately since the optimal pressure / heat for combustion isn't reached there is much more toxins released from the engine since not all of the fuel is burnt. SURE ROLLING COAT IS THAT GREAT FOR THE ENVIRONMENT. Potentially diesel is a much more economical power plant / fuel.
redneck4life887 There is just one thing I can say, never erase your comment. Since you are so sure of what you are talking about. I would like for many to see how smart you are.
Volcano's on this planet emit more contaminants into our air in one day than we will with all of our fossil fueled cars and trucks in a lifetime! Scientific fact always wins! 9 sec streetable turbo diesels are friggin awesome!!!
Friends It' true that I dont know much about cars... But what I might know about is this black smoke going out of the exaust.. I believe that if all cars are as you pretend they are so we dont need to worry anymore about the global warming and carbon dioxide emissions.. I am a big fan of mechanical sports but unfortunately harming the nature with the emissions is what I dont like... Peace..
Your car you drive every day emits more harmful crap to the atmosphere than this truck. That black smoke is soot. It just floats back to the ground after a bit.
Maybe the owner is this should not let anyone post their opinions. Too bad the people that comment don't have anything good to say. It's a very fast race car that burns(maybe) fossil fuel. Turbos are the way of the future.he has proved it. Thanks for the video.
Um, no. The exhaust is used to spin the turbo. Which spins another fan to force more air into the combustion chamber. The more air and fuel in causes a bigger bang gaining horsepower and torque. Same a a super charger but just uses a different method to force the air in. It works well on a gasoline engine too.
Fun fact, diesels are CLEANER than most people think, the black soot generally falls to the ground. Less NOx, less CO. Only reason people think they're nasty is because of the black smoke commonly seen from a diesel. But that stuff gets soaked into the soil, not taken into the sky. Plus they get better mileage than almost anything out there.
It's soot from running it rich. It's all burnt but it isn't all burnt quite properly. The black stuff is pretty much pure carbon. It floats around for a bit, settles, and makes for richer soil.
FINALLY! Someone that knows about diesels and how they work. Tired of seeing shitty dumb comments about "oh there goes our ozone, or my prius does better!" That truck would eat a prius up in an environment contest for pete's sake!
not to mention with that year, there are not legal restrictions on emissions and what you can do to the motor or drivetrane, so, you could make it run as dirty as you want and make up for the extra weight with more power.
@ 0:20 onwards, it sounds like the cars from Rollcage Stage 2 or the intro movie right at the beginning. For those game illiterate peeps, it's an old PS1 game that I used to love and would still play today.
I think part of the deal was they were used to running at sea level. Bandimere is 5280 ft above so you've got a mile less oxygen to utilize in Denver. lol
There's a lifted Dodge dually 4x4, running a twin turbo setup, that frequents the Tulsa Speedway that outruns just about every street car that pulls up beside it. I'm not much of a Dodge fan, but it's a pretty bad-ass truck.
He also just dropped off a load of chickens at the farmers market around the corner 10 minutes before this. In the winter he hooks up a plow for his snow removal business.
actually the engine set up and build are very close between a pulling truck and drag truck (basically identical in some cases), the pump tuning/specs and turbos chosen are a bit different for racing. but overall they have almost the same end performance.
I did a little bit of google searching, most people are saying it its due to a bad Air/fuel ratio. It's often the ECU dumping to much fuel in the motor, and there's just not enough oxygen.
BTW, smoky exhaust is a good sign that the engine is running in an overfuelled condition (good for maximum power, if you hit the right spot and don't end up choking it, bad for economy and emissions), which means incomplete combustion is occurring. Or more accurately, all of the oxygen is used up whilst there's still some fuel left to burn. A lean burning diesel with completely combusting fuel has much clearer exhaust. You know what else incomplete combustion produces? Plentiful carbon monoxide
