DIESEL BATTLE | Pikes Peak Hillclimb 2022 

i watched every second of video y'all posted about this build. such an inspiration, such a rad car. sad to see it go this way for you this year. cant wait for y'all to take a record next year.

After so long... youtube finally made a good recommendation

"What happened?" "We put a Powerstroke into a GTR and it didn't work." I love this guy's attitude toward the whole situation. Can't wait to see them come back next year and crush the record.

The fact that you guys even had something that passed tech and participated is a accomplishment.

That tune would make Gale Banks cry.

this video was nuts, such high video production quality, you guys deserve a better reception for this honestly!

Cole was the only person I lost a race to in high school and I don’t even feel bad about it. Seeing this is awesome.

This is so amazing! Great work guys, you will get that beast to the top! Thanks for sharing this amazing journey and I can not wait to see what you guys do next time!

38:12 that “hmmf” was such a mellow reaction to such a monumentally maddening moment. Props to Cole for staying cool. 🤜🏼🤛🏼 Next year is going to be lit for your team with a year of testing and refinement under your belt, but now your competition has a target to aim for 😉

Wow this is one Hell of a story I stumbled across!!! Had no idea I just watched a 40min video it was so engrossing. Good Luck guys!!! Y’all gained a new subscriber and I’ll be keeping up with you guys on the next run. It’s like a hood book and I’m waiting for the next chapter to be written👍👍🤟🤟

The video production was out of this world. A lot of props goes to the team for having such amazing dedication and perseverance. Next year, you guys will crush that record!

35:23 made me laugh when he says everyone in the crowd was losing it and only a handful of people cheered out of the hundreds there 🤣

The level of communication and commitment from your team is applauded!! My heart goes out to you folks. Thanks for sharing your highest highs and lowest lows. 🙂

Fantastic guys! What a thriller of a journey. You guys deserve a win, record and the finally you’ve all worked so hard for. Such an incredible build!! 🎉

To hear that monster take off. My god you guys are amazing! Keep up the amazing work. I can not wait for next year and see you guys break record!

Well done to everyone involved. Looking forward to this journey. Also, major props on the actual making of the video. Nice work. -Ben

What a great documentary of a bunch of guys with a coal burning dream trying to do something normal people would think is crazy. Amazing struggle, Amazing effort, Amazing Filmography. Can't wait for part 2.

You guys epitomize team work! Having experienced many years in and around Formula and GT racing, the dedication and determination to succeed you guys displayed was up wit the best. Best wishes for next year's attempt. I will be watching.

Absolutely love watching this team with each passing year!!!!!

As an onlooker all I can think is - thank you for posting such an authentic video! I grew up in Security and ever since my first hike up Barr Trail to the summit (1974) to watch racers like you I love watching race teams compete on the mountain. Thanks again for what you do!

Guys, please. NEVER. EVER. GIVE. UP. Never ever give up on this record, and never give up on Frank. She is an absolute monster and I will be here to see her claim that record she is owed. I mean come on, 20 seconds faster than ole Smokey on the first section? IT’S RIGHT THERE GUYS! JUST DON’T GIVE UP ON HER. I’m so in love with this build, and the vision behind the team. All of y’all are super talented awesome people, and the work ethic is absolutely awe inspiring. That week was hell I’m sure, but let that fire forge a race car to claim that record. A Powerstroke Diesel GTR is something I never knew I needed until I came across ol Frank the Tank. Need more Frank merch and I can’t wait to see y’all this year!

Awesome video! Love the efforts you all went to! And that calm reaction as it broke down I felt that as that's what I do when them things happen! Like what else can you do! Take care and all the best next time

Lyfe Motorsport is the most determined and coolest team. You guys do amazing work. You had seen what it could do, 20 second up in first sector.

You guys tried something that was just absolutely bat crap crazy and made it work for the most part. Most people would just give up at the point it all came apart (literally from the sound of it,) but you guys, especially Cole are only mildly discouraged and are going to learn from this and do it all again next year. I'll definitely be watching the day Cole takes Frank up the mountain and smokes the diesel record.

Amazing, next year deffo!!!

Not usually a fan of diesel builds but this one is just too cool to not love. Great work guys. Love seeing the struggle and not just the race. Really encapsulates the hard times the teamwork needed to make dreams come true.

Great video and an amazing build. Good luck for next year guys. You’ve got this 👍🏼👍🏼

Awesome story you guys will make it next year and the overcoming of the sleepless times and let downs makes you stronger. Stay motivated and humble. Greetings from Okinawa Japan

Awesome build get rid of the 6.0 power stroke and put a OM606. That would be cool.

Absolutely crazy guys..Can't wait to see you smash the record!!!!! Awesome doco of sheer determination..

Fantastic video 40 mins just flew by… cheers for next year fella’s!

With that 6.0 powerstroke its a wonder yall even made it to the top...7.3 for life...

I remember how i was watching the live stream and laughed with comentators how they said "it sounds strange...gtr but we hear a diesel" and i realized that something more different i never heard and see that my brain wont processed it.. :D but it was a really sad to see that you guys didn't make it to the top...hope for the next year! greetings from the czech republic!

Wow.... What a video.. Congrats to the team, what a beautiful piece of machinery. Next year is your year and the fan base for this team will be huge!

Beautiful video, hope to see you guys breaking the record next time!

Heartbreaking to hear her putter out on that corner, but before that ... WHAT A MONSTER!!!! I wish i didn't have to wait a whole year to see chapter 2.

These guys should have watched everything wrong with a 6.0 by DeBoss Garage 😂

I can't wait to 👀 you all break the RECORD! Great story and some Dreams can come true!

AMAZING documentary!!!! Need more of such nicely done!

after enough years of being a car enthusiast, there's only so many things that make you go "wow". i feel like i've seen it all, from 2jz minivans to aero monsters at tsukuba, true gods driving through the nurburgring, and this build just got added to the list. awe inspiring. such a sick build!

why not go for a v6 3.0t tdi or v8 4.2 tdi? would likely be more reliable under throttle in the curves, (while being waaaay lighter and having stock applications that bolt up to a zf8hp awd trans) i understand they are more complicated but having worked on 6.0's, 7.3's, cummins, dura's, i feel it would fit the application better and still be weird....

What a wonderful video. I can't wait to see next year! No one gave up! Great teamwork.

What a legend. Wonderful attitude from Cole and the team.

This is what Living Lyfe is all about. Hats off to the Hole team!

The fact that a guy who's named Cole drives a diesel on pikes peak just makes my day. Rollin Cole on pikes peak 😂👍

Damn guys! What a story!!!! Y’all did a hell of a job documenting this. Cole 2023 FTW!!

One heck of of a adventure guyes! I'm blown away by the comradery of everyone involved!! And the fact no one gave up given the odds and failures, Keep at it boys you will get your victory!!!

Just put in a om606 engine and you can get that hill all day long. Great work.

Awesome stuff guys! As a big 6.0 enthusiast and local to PPIHC, great to see you guys out here to break the diesel record with a 6.0! Also if you guys ever need last minute 6.0 parts while your at here next year, holler I have a ton of spare 6.0’s and extra parts. Can’t wait to see the Frank 6.0 next year!

You guys have a lot energy and heart to make this work. I can't wait for next year. I am sure you be #1. Awesome video 👍

This was excellent. Loved every moment of this video.

I was confused when they said they had another engine, then proceeded to build Up a separate engine, with apparently different length pushrods? Having a back up engine normally means it’s ready to go, not a block and components that needs to be assembled at 2 AM while experimenting with seemingly random changes. The oil system modifications makes sense, but whose bright idea was it to change the pushrod length to the point where the engine wouldn’t even make compression? Anyways, impressive work all around in spite of the confusing aspects. Why such a short time to get things ready? Maybe they just got the idea to compete in pikes Peak a few weeks before the event? With all that stress, rushed and exhausted crew, I would have waited till next year and done it with plenty of practice and confidence. Also a few miles on the odometer/racetrack so you know it’s reliable? That’s probably why I’m not setting any records LOL I’m not at the end of the video yet, maybe they just had such a crazy and great idea that they win in spite of all the hardships. Can’t wait to find out! If they don’t do it this year, I’m excited to see what happens next year.

I was so hurt when the car broke then I remembered they used a 6.0 … good times

You Blew Up 2 Engines. That's the biggest lesson. Great effort. Hope to see you accomplish the New Record!

Beautiful, get it sorted out and come back next year!

Lesson learned... never use a powerstroke to set records😁 Why didn't you use a 6000 rpm Banks Duramax instead? Pretty much proven technology.

I see a movie in the making, nice story line, and I'm already itching for part two.... nice work and determination 💪

This was amazing! My heart broke as soon as I seen it sputtering 😢 great job guys

Impressive documentary guys, amazing to watch.

A brilliant video and (for once) an awesome suggestion from RU-vid . Subscribed

Wow this is a 40 min well spent. Looking forward to next year race. Good luck

Great push and effort doing so well. Make sure to come back and get that record it's so close.

Great job guys! Subscribed from now on

Amazing work, you guys put so much work, time, blood, sweat and tears. you guys are right there. Next year is your year.! i Believe in you guys!!!

First video i've ever seen of your channel and this car, safe to say i'm going to stick around! Sorry you didn't complete the track this year but the satisfaction for when you do next year will be that much greater! Great job and i hope to see another video soon!

100% Definitely Enjoyed this Video.. Been Minute..

You cannot place a value on the experience and knowledge this journey will have forged for each guy and, more importantly for results, the team as a unit. Worth its weight in gold. Great watch 💪💪👌

Yall are savages. Awesome video. Love the no quit in the team!

This is why I love hill climb cars! The builds are totally insane! Who would ever ever thought to swap a diesel in a gtr? 🤯🤘🔥 what an amazing video!

that thing is insane!!!!! I cant wait to see you beat the record next year.

"Everyone in the crowd started cheering" *Shows 4 people cheering* LOL 😂😂

Can’t wait to see that back

I was heart broken ... you guys killed it!

hats off guys.. you guys sure earned it next year.

Mind....totally blown and its a gnarly sounding beast with that turbo going blissful

Props to you, guys, for using the vocals from Six Days for each day of the week :D

The video quality was so good and kept me interested the whole time even though I’m just a viewer the car is so cool and I wish you guys the best

this video maked me smile and dream. TY

The team- "Why would we need to pull the valve covers?" Murphy- "hahaha!"

Epic build… makes me miss my 6.0. Great sound track for the video, too. Better luck next year, guys!

We are going to be watching and following till next year keep the spirit alive 🙌 🙏 👍

Amazing video, great job

Guys, I am from Germany and I love your strenght to carry on, to keep fighting against non existing doubts. Weiter so. Your efforts and the team spirit will take the lead.

Hope these guys crush it next year!!

boys im only half way through, and holy shit the editing, the information, the day stamps from the song, all of it, perfect, you guys kick ass!

What a contrast in driving style! Most flat track racers drive on the edge of control. This guy had only 1 hay bale every half mile! He was taking those outside corners REAL CAREFUL! "Let's go fast, but live to drive again!"

Even if you did finish and didn't win I wouldn't care. Unique is what make Pikes Peak special and you guys hands down delivered.

Your passion will get you there, good luck!

Welp, now I have an even better reason to watch Pike's Peak next year. Best random video click of the week.

I felt proud of the team when I saw how they handled the disappointment of the car stopping. This is a solid bunch of guys and I would love to work beside them.

Thanks for sharing this and inspiring others!

Such a devastating end to the weekend, and i really feel for each and everyone of the people who put their time and effort into making this dream turn into a reality. but at the same time it also an epic inspiration to us all and goes to show team work and not giving up really does get you through till the end. chin up guys im sure you will get it right next year and smash that record you so desperately are chasing

You guys are so awesome

Great suggested video. Subscribed

Wow you guys are so dope for all the efforts and all the work and the car is so bad ass WELL DONE.

Wow! Amazing roller coaster. Next year I’ll be there!

By the way, very impressive work guys. Y’all got it next year!!!!!!

You guys are gonna get it. 2023. We'll be watching.

Eagerly awaiting the comeback......
