That week saw 23 of the most powerful diesel trucks in North America competing to see who would be the best of the best, and oh, for a chance at grabbing over $10,000 in winnings. Day One was a dyno contest, Day Two drags, and Day 3 was sled pulling. During the three-day event, we saw 4 records broken, multiple engine failures and all from a field of trucks averaging over 1,500 horsepower apiece. The Ultimate Callout Challenge was the first time this many of the industry’s heavy hitters were ever seen in one place, at one time. It was an epic display of horsepower; that’s for sure. If you missed the first one, no problem we’ll be sharing everything UCC over the next few issues; plus, 2016’s event went so well that plans for the next one are already in the works. It’s an event no diesel enthusiast should ever miss! #22 Dallas Hunt Industrial Injection – Duramax – 0hp / 0tq With an electrical gremlin causing misfires on four cylinders, Industrial Injection was able to get the truck running and make a run at the horsepower record just before their time ran out only to have issues spooling their massive triple turbos. After a few minutes of trying, the engine overheated, blew a coolant hose and seized, causing them bow out of the UCC much too soon.

Unfortunately, with so many heavy hitters, even 1,250 hp wasn’t enough to compete on the dyno. Screamin Diesel Performance Triple Turbo Kit Dual CP3s #19 Shawn Ellerton Canadian Rednecks – 6.0L Power Stroke 1,365 hp / 1, 930 tq Shawn Ellerton has made himself famous as that crazy Canadian Redneck that has done things with the 6.0L Power Stroke that were once deemed impossible.

Unfortunately, his week didn’t go anywhere near as planned when his massive hit of nitrous proved too much for the motor and made for the best carnage of the event with a 30-ft. fireball igniting out from under the hood. Luckily, no one was seriously injured. 6.4L Kingspeed Race & Repair Longblock 400-percent S&S Motorsports Injectors, Dual 85-percent Industrial Injection Dual CP3s Single Garrett GT55 Turbo 3-Stage Nitrous Express System Suncoast 48RE Competition Transmission #16 Ryan Landfield RKL Diesel – Duramax – 1,590 hp / 2,181 tq Ryan Landfields’ triple turbo Duramax made a monstrous 1,522-hp fuel-only run on the dyno which was backed up by what was going to be a crazy high number on nitrous when the passenger side head gasket failed and ended the run early at a still impressive 1,590 hp. RKL Race Longblock Exergy 500-percent Injectors, Dual Exergy 12mm CP3s High Tech Turbo S480 Triple Turbos 2-Stage Nitrous Express System RKL Billet Allison Transmission #15 Dustin VanWindergreen SDP Twins – Duramax – 1,568 hp / 2, 284 tq Surrounded by $100,000 triple turbo competition-only trucks, Dustin VanWindergreens crew cab Duramax was one of the more “sleeper-looking” rigs at the event, but not letting that prove true, the compound turbos and a little nitrous were enough to take the truck to a 1,568-hp run.
