If there is one corner of the automotive kingdom I have utter contempt for, it’s the coal-rolling bro-dozer diesel crowd. I’m not talking diesel performers in general…there is some absolutely badass stuff out there both on the track and on the job, sometimes doing both, and that is completely worthy. No, we’re talking the fifteen-year-old Ram with a small trash can for an exhaust tip that thinks it’s cute that his truck is leaving a smoke trail half a mile long between shifts. When I’ve seen the same engine run a nine-second quarter with barely a puff of smoke at launch and at each shift, there is no reason to have your truck spew out smoke like a 1970s-era New York City bus. None whatsoever. Yet at least once a week, I get to see some lifted pickup truck that sounds like my old military rigs, looks like the wrong end of a used car lot and smokes like an oil derrick fire.
In case you happen to be friends with one of these coal-rolling mental studies, here’s a bit of real world testing for them to ingest. There’s nothing fancy here: just a bucket of water, a hose straight from the exhaust pipe to the water bucket, and an in-progress mega truck build with a Duramax that can make the smoke happen. If they are willing to take a drink of what’s in the bucket in the “after” scene, then you understand the problem. If they wouldn’t, then start bashing them on the head until they agree that this coal-rolling thing is stupid.
Should have stuck the hose up his ass and then his face in the bucket. You all know by watching this “turd” you could be putting $ in his pocket. Spend it elsewhere.
Agreed john, at least watching Dylan McCool videos he is at least doing something constructive.
Tree hugging Legislators in DC will use this video to kill motorsports.
If there’s a bigger TOOL on the Internet I haven’t run across him yet.
Gale Banks manages to build extremely powerful and reliable diesel engines, without the “rolling coal” idiocy.
These assclowns should all be locked in a sealed stadium and made to inhale the fumes they leave for us on the road, especially the ones who \”dust\” the bicycle riders. And make the oem\’s have to put stacks on them, just like a rig.
I blame that Captain Planet show. When they had a bunch of villains who wanted to pollute the world for no discernible reason, an impressionable generation of future truck drivers grew up with the conclusion that pollution must be fun.
Northern Colorado seems to be a hotbed of fuel rail wrenching, in-the-closet toolbags like this. Haven`t seen a truck that ugly, yet, so that’s good.
