![]() ![]() ![]() Of course “Diesel Brothers” has enjoyed a strong following in the U.S. Don’t do something to your truck that’s not only going to potentially hurt the environment, but the industry.” ![]() “Our number one goal-we work really closely with the EPA-outside and inside of the show-is to say that rolling coal is not cool. market’s going to be super irresponsible with this,” Heavy D continued. “The government agencies that control emissions and that kind of stuff, they don’t want to see any of that and so they’re not going to let any of this European diesel technology into the states if they see that the U.S. Everybody who’s owned a diesel pickup has at one point hit the gas, looked out the rear-view mirror and said, ‘That’s kind of cool.’ But it’s got to stop there because it’s not something that’s going to help the industry by any means,” Heavy D explained. “We are big advocates for not rolling coal. However, in that same article Heavy D states through a representative that there is a misunderstanding regarding the modifications that his shop makes. In September, “Diesel Brothers” was criticized in a New York Times article that goes so far as to say that those interested in rolling coal can simply turn to the show for guidance. The egr valve can be cleaned out bro and so can the dozer. It’s a topic that Heavy D feels strongly about. This truck comes with the Cat C13 engine, Eaton Fuller 18 Speed. It’s just a really classic looking, nice truck that people love.”īoth Heavy D and Diesel Dave are opposed to rolling coal. And as far as an online following, the truck had more traction than any truck that we’ve built in a long, long time. “It was the crew cab truck that was never made with a 12 valve Cummins in it. The truck was just falling apart,” Heavy D said. “That was a ’94 Dodge that we got as a crew cab conversion. The Holy Grail wasn’t so holy when DieselSellerz first brought the rare truck into their shop. The most popular builds DieselSellerz has pulled off include the Mega Ram, the Brodozer and the Holy Grail. “Put a 12 valve in a Jeep, put a 12 valve in my old car, put a 12 valve in something. A 12-valve Cummins motor,” Diesel Dave said. How can you slow down the door yet move through the doorway faster? It’s a puzzle that Gale solves in part 13 of Building a Monster Truck Engine.“Everybody wants to put a 12-valve in something. How were the turbos able to make more boost even though the supercharger they were blowing through was spinning at a slower speed? Think of it like walking through a revolving door. For the fourth run, he added fuel and the engine produced 1,172 horsepower. It appeared as though the turbos were coming to life the more he backed down the blower. Gale then further reduced the blower speed and horsepower rose to 1,017 again with the same air-fuel ratio. When he backed down the blower speed, horsepower increased to 956 using the same air-fuel ratio. That is until Gale studied the differences of each run, with friend Dustin Whipple of Whipple Superchargers. Over the course of five dyno runs, horsepower went up as supercharger speed was reduced. In the latest video, Gale pushes the engine past 1,200 horsepower but not after discovering a bizarre balancing act between blower speed and boost. More Time to Focusįlash forward… with Covid shutting down live events, it afforded the Banks engineering team more time to develop the powerplant. Wheel stands, endos, and backflips, all require a lightning-fast response. He was in a constant battle with throttle lag. It’s no secret Dave had been suffering from throttle response issues in his now-famous Bro Dozer monster truck. The Monster Truck engine program was born when a request came from Dave Sparks (Diesel Bros) to build a 1,300 horsepower engine with an ultra-fast response. Today’s engine began its life as a Banks diesel dragster engine. ![]()
