With the most basic upgrades already taken care of, and a lot of the common failure points resolved, it’s time to jump into some of the more in-depth installs, like replacing the worn out and undersized stock turbo and replacing the leaking exhaust up-pipes.
If you’ve ever felt like all the world’s eyes were upon you, you know the feeling Unrivaled Diesel’s Chris Patterson has experienced over the past year. At the 2021 All Truck Challenge, his ’07 Dodge dually spun the dyno to the tune of 3,089 hp
No, it’s not a High Boy. It just happens to look like one—and we’ll dare say it’s better than any all-original dent side. It also happens to belong to Jared Jones, driver of one of the fastest oil burners in existence, the Scheid Diesel dragster.
Without a doubt, new ground was broken at the 2022 Ultimate Callout Challenge. Three trucks ran 4-second eighth-miles, seven more put up mid 5’s, and seven competitors cleared 2,300 hp or more on the dyno—including Justin Zeigler’s industry-changing 3,336hp show on the rollers.
Historic WWII Ship with A Historic Caterpillar Engine
We see a lot of engines go together here at Diesel World, but occasionally we’re able to sit in on a high-horsepower build that breaks the mold. Here’s a fairly unique combination of parts for a power-hungry Duramax owner from a well known pulling guru, Kevin Dermondy
Vintage Diesels: 1955 International Harvester UD-18A
International Harvester is well known for tractors, crawlers, combines and construction equipment, almost all powered by engines built in-house. For the better part of a century, IH, and its corporate descendant Navistar, was a renowned engine builder. That included the 691 cubic inch UD-18 six-cylinder gas-start diesel.
The Farmall 706 and 806 tractors debuted in the summer of 1963. Both were badly needed touchdowns after several unexpected years of John Deere dominating the game. The 806 debuted with the new D361 engine but the 706 used an updated version of the D282 six-cylinder engine.
Although it goes without saying that all engine manufacturers strive to turn out the best product possible for every application, some power plants are simply better than others. Be it due to their durability, mechanical simplicity, or horsepower potential, these Top Ten oil-burners are a cut above the rest.
