Diesel power challenge 2012

PTSUPERD · Feb 24, 2012

Mike with the support of Elite have stepped their game up this year. Complete new roller for Mike's built motor to be dropped in.

Hate to do an unveil like this but I can't stand it any longer......

4 fords in the show.......anyone know about the Dmax and Cummin's???? Any not so favorites???

Don't really know any of the cummins trucks but some of the Dmax trucks are locals to me which is nice to see.

I think Tim Judd's dmax is getting my vote mostly due to the cool story with the build, true home built truck which is nice to see.

Tim Judd said:
it was all built in my grandfather's garage that I've shared with him and my uncle because they run a construction business. It has never been easy mostly because it didn't run for almost a year. And when I put it in there to do a project, I have to try and do it overnight or in one weekend so i could tow it out for them to use...it was hell really

and from the mod list he posted looks like its pretty solidly built.

I know a few of the dodge guys. Definately voting chases truck from fleece. My buddy brennens long bed mega cab is pretty rowdy to. With his WOP triples he dynod 1049hp on fuel on my dyno about 6 months ago.

Mikey, Ellerton and Erick get my votes.

Jhaddox · Feb 24, 2012

I think im gonna go Craig, Mike, and Rudy

UPINSMOKE · Feb 24, 2012

Craig, ellerton, and not sure on the third for me.

If Mikey can get his finished and dialed in before the event, then of course it'll be a contender, but it's just not done yet.

Mine will be running in less than 2 weeks. I want all the time possible to dial it. That will give me 2 solid months tuning it in Denver.

Pretty confident in the 5r at the power level you are hoping for?

That 5R has a few tricks up it's sleeve. holding the power will not be a problem. Shifting fast enough? well, PCS and a few months of heavy testing should do the trick.

there have never been more than 15. that was only 2 years, right after they combined east and west into one. andy parker's truck was so strong and reliable last year. but his dyno numbers hurt in the final tally, and his trailer skills hurt because the camera man was asking him questions while he was backing up and he got very pissed. he was the best dp challenge competitor i have ever witnessed from start to finish, along with rocky. humble, cool, and dedicated. last years dpc was the best i have seen as a whole, but the year before was a close second.

Title says 30 trucks but i counted 20? Just wondering.

The first year, 2006, there was an east and a west. Each side had 15 trucks. One happened here in Cali and one happened in bowling green.
