  • quick question why does this truck don't blow smoke at all like the trucks sled pulling? is it becuause they are at a heavy engine load that cuases that?

  • great diesel engine. I could make my very own diesel stock car with a powerglide 2 speed auto transmission.

  • that thing looks so fucking mean!!!!

  • Very nice job banks!!

  • holly shit the exhaust was glowing!!! thats a bad ass ride man

  • diesel explodes ,when atomised, under compression. No need for a spark. I've seen a lighted match thrown into diesel and it just goes out!

  • also, why arent you using an intercooler?

  • what are the benefits of twin turbocharging over 1 large turbo, or compounds? or even a procharger?

  • @Cheapbikes just all depends on the size of the twin turbos, and the boost there runnin. i personally would rather single turbo or procharge my vehicle but twin turbos can produce amazing power.

  • awesome truck...what generation dmax is that? lbz? Or is it a completely different block than in a normal truck? and, what kind of boost and rpm comes from that engine?

  • I was always partial to the Cummins myself because a straight six diesel is the perfect storm of bone crushing torque, but there is no denying that this thing sounds awesome. Is this the same setup that gives 1600 hp at the flywheel? Also, spark plugs? You mean GLOW plugs and they are for cold starts ONLY. diesels inject fuel at TDC and detonate instantly and explosively, unlike the slow burn of gasoline, which means they basically knock all the time. How many rpms are we listening to here?

  • I want to know too.Why diesel have spark plugs please tell me the reason

  • @nitiratsueb It's simple...they don't. 

  • Actually, some of them do. International made sevral engines for their farmall tractors in the 40's and 50's that start on gas, and are switched over to diesel

  • @nitiratsueb diesel can explode when compressed enough so thats why :D

  • @nitiratsueb injectors ... and glow plugs

  • @nitiratsueb Thats are Injector`s

  • @nitiratsueb Diesel engines dont have sparkplugs, the do however have "glow" plugs wich preheats the air in the cumbustionchamber on cold days to to make it easier to start.

  • @nitiratsueb ..dont know allot about diesel but. they dont have spark plugs bc for one a spark would not light the fuel an they are compression working motors they have glow plugs an im pretty sure they just get really hot to help a diesel motor start... but its something like that

  • @nitiratsueb

    Because diesel burns at a lower temperature so they don't require a spark to ignite the fuel.

  • @propaintballa i dont think so...

  • @nitiratsueb try lighting jet fuel with a lighter... same thing

  • @nitiratsueb its cuz they use a compression method instead of a spark method :]

  • @nitiratsueb

    they have glo plugs not spark plugs

  • @nitiratsueb they don't. they have glow pugs. which are only used when the engine is cold. high compressed mixture of air and fuel at the right ratio along with high temps makes the bang. if you spray an aerosol can over a flame (not in it) it will ignite. a diesel is pretty much the same. when the piston compresses the fuel is added to the air in the hot block. creating heat, compression with air and fuel so then the power stroke happens.

  • @nitiratsueb .. you might be mistaking fuel injector lines for spark plug wires. Diesel engines complete the combustion process through heat of compression instead of a spark to ignite fuel.

  • Amazing! I`ve grown up with diesel engines from early smelly oil burners to modern and they alway amaze me. Thats one fine looking engine to me.

  • diesels true american muscle

  • thankyou banks for building and testing and promoting american made tecnoligy we need more inovators such as your selves to get America back on her feet

  • Pistons have a tough life.

  • what is wrong with the duramax...is it that it was designed and developed in a joint venture with izuzu, one of the worlds leaders in diesel technology, the fact they could design something that beat out the powerstroke/international navistar engine says it right there, what GM did was american, they set the work aside for someone else who knew what they were doing then took their work and made it their own. I don't see what's wrong with that...They're a business, good decision on their part.

  • @montanachevy last i checked Isuzu is not American there buddy haha ill show you proof that it is not American because i have a Isuzu rodeo sitting in the drive way and i cant even read the manual its all in Japanese. have a good day.

  • @bradyfisher66 No where in his statement i read that Isuzu is American.

  • Sounds like it needs new spark plugs

  • @bnz500

    Lol I hope your kidding.

  • @travisxxx23 I hope you are

  • Comment removed

  • @bnz500

    Not trying to be a dick or anything but you have no idea how a Diesel engine works do you?

    Basically the main differences is how fuel is converted to energy. In a gas engine fuel and air are mixed at the same time then compressed by pistons and ignited by spark plugs; In Diesel engines the air is compressed first then fuel is added and then compressed by pistons and the mixture ignites from the heat from the pressure buildup. In summary Diesels don't have spark plugs.

  • @travisxxx23 Where did you hear that kid? On some computer game? ROTFLMFAO! "no spark plugs" Hahahahahaha im a diesel mechanic. honestly kid stick to need for speed before you embarrass your self any further. I own a diesel and I change the spark plugs myself after every race meet. I have titanium alloy race plugs custom made for a fiat multipla that gave it 75 bhp boost dyno verified. I smoke mustangs and evos without a sweat. If diesels dont have spark plugs where does all the smoke come from?

  • @bnz500 Diesel engines don't have spark plugs they are compression ignited. Diesel engines have glow plugs to aid in cold starting but no spark plugs. This engine has no spark plugs.

  • Comment removed

  • @bnz500

    I have been around Diesels all my life I am not a kid. Secondly you are lying or if you are a mechanic I would not want you anywhere near my truck. Look at the original poster Banks even he agrees with me. it is ok to be wrong sometimes no need to get defensive.Also Smoke from a Diesel simply is unburnt fuel.

  • @bnz500 Diesels have Glow plugs diesel is a combustible fuel not necessary flammable like gasoline where spark plugs are used, if your using spark plugs in your diesel, its not a functioning motor, you see the way a diesel works is by heat (glowplug) and huge amounts of pressure and if you know anything when you have heat, pressure, and fuel(diesel) you get a very large explosion. so next time you wanna talk about "your diesel" YOU get off of need for speed! lol thank you

  • @bnz500 spark plugs in a diesel???? they must have forgot them on my duramax....LMMFAO!

  • @SPB282008 no dodge . 12v or the 24v is way better. then my 7.3. only reason cheaper performance other wise about equal. and lets see your durmax hold the front end togather while pulling. ill even help you replace the tie rods after you snap them.

  • How can anyone DISLIKE this..... ??????

  • Bosch for spark plug.......!?

  • @duffbitch Probably for fuel jump and injectors.

  • Only if the Duramax had some Durability

  • Question...have you guys thought about building a Monster Truck?

  • @JimPrower I think, that would be a great idea !!

  • how much NOS is used on each run

  • @yz250stroker about 3 pounds or so.

  • @bankspowerinsider my brother doesnt think that draggers use NOS. what a noob.

  • @bankspowerinsider wait you guys use NOS instead of propane or meth for a diesel???

  • the only good duramax is made buy banks. and the only reason its good is because it get rebulit after every race. durajunk

  • @Mr04fordranger I've seen this statment before and I'll tell you that there's not a single shread of truth in it. I guess it's just another one of those internet rumors. The engine in this truck is not rebuilt after every race. In fact, after our record setting run in March 2009, the truck wasn't used again until the NHRDA world finals over a year later. The engine wasn't rebuilt, no pistons replaced, no complete tear down. The result? Another 7.77et pass. You can read about it on our web site.

  • @bankspowerinsider ...... that tiold him!

  • @bankspowerinsider, people are just pissed off that u guys took a duramax diesel and are getting that much power out of it without anything breaking... about 45 min from where i live is a 06 ( i believe) duramax completly gutted out and rebuilt into a sled pulling truck. thats the most power iv seen a duramax put out in person... the night of the pull that i was there they pushed out exactly 1200 crank hp, after the computer calculations they figured just over 1000 HP at the wheels.

  • @Mr04fordranger you drive a ranger you have nothing to say about any diesel dude 

  • @FORDGTFANATIC 4 bt ranger. kinda like stacked rangers but my own version

  • @Mr04fordranger Your name has ford ranger in it and you are talking about diesel.

  • @logabsd im a diesel tech. and just drive a ranger thats has a 4bt going into. until then im driving my 7.3 powerstroke.

  • @Mr04fordranger HAHAHA and you drive a POS ford ? you FAIL. Fords are FAIL. fucking only hillbilly rednecks drive FRODS. You just proved to everyone you are a birth product of years of incest.

  • @Topfueltrooper must be alot of hillbillys then. Could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure ford has been the top selling truck as well as and the second highest selling vehicle overall, for about as long as there have been trucks. I guess in your mind selling a shit load of trucks for about a century now is a failure.

  • @Topfueltrooper ya...your completely right...fords are complete junk...they dont know how to make a truck..my 96 f-250 doesnt have over 315000 miles on it and the engine always breaks and it never has a tandem axle trailer behind it....its a horrible truck all around...but, ill tell you what...as hard as i use it and the hell i put it thru...she still holds her own against my buddies duramax's and cummins....

  • nice truck

  • gale banks eng. made a twin carb twin turbo legal in the early 8o's . what makes you think they can't figure this one out?

  • shite soundtrack

  • @LifesVoyager Shut up, maybe if you payed more attention to the kickass truck you wouldn't notice the music.

  • @MTBLTZ sweety, that's the point isn't it? It would be good to hear (kickass (sic)) sounds relevant to the (kickkass (sic)) truck and not the shite soundtrack that is totally irrelevant to it.

  • Comment removed

  • @MTBLTZ lol, sorry to hear that you struggle to understand proper English. Is it worth pointing out that there is no such word as 'payed' and it would be 'tries' if you are really trying to communicate in English?

    Do stop bickering, sweety.

  • DEEZIL #FTW !!

  • dont they have to replace the engine after everyrace?

  • are those the "average" sized turbos? they look small

  • banks hell yeah!

  • doesn't even sound like a diesel anymore at high rpm. how many rpm is this thing turning?

  • Hey guys what ECU are you running this engine with?

  • when are you guys gonna make the kit to make our duramax's rev like that

  • /watch?v=nl4HZMhqhvE

  • BOSCH xD great german technik!

  • where do people find money to spend on shit like this when the rest of th world is starving......fuck you america

  • @rowleyac well why dont the rest of the world get off their arse and do something about it

  • @rowleyac why dont japan or china they have lots of money

  • @rowleyac well then why dont YOU go feed them! fuck you!

  • @rowleyac your jealous you dont have what we have and that you dont live here. fuck america? no fuck you. not your country ..just you.

  • 572 big block is better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Horse power is the ability to pull weight. Torque is the rate at which the horsepower can be applied. Some people think that they are related. they are not. they do go well hand in hand however. Think about a train. 10's of thousands of horse power but very little torque in relation hence slow acceleration.

  • you're a retarded idiot. I've used a dynometer before, read up on how they convert the force the wheels generate, I.E. "TORQUE" and create a measurement of horsepower. IF you think you're right then you think what ever you want, i know i'm right don't need to prove myself to a bunch of idiots on youtube.

  • You just have tosser by posting a reply. Guess you failed at english too. though you could just be another mouthy know it all yank.

  • Horsepower makes rpm and torque

    For a given power:

    More rpm, less torque

    More torque, less rpm

  • more rpm = more torque produced by high rpm. Horsepower is a man made measurement based on an equation using torque which is a force measured in foot-pounds and rpm the engine speed. those are the only 2 variables you idiot. Learn something

  • more rpm's does not mean more torque. torque is force. rpm's are speed. horsepower is a function of the two, showing how much WORK (not force) can be done.

  • @MonkeyWithAWrench why don't u go back to mechanic school grease monkey

  • hmm, gee, i dunno... maybe because i just got out of high school and am currently going to college and studying to become a mechanical engineer. that might be why...

  • @MonkeyWithAWrench nah everybody has their own way and everyone is an expert blah blah blah, you know how it is. i thought about going back to school to learn something like that what you are learning or mabey something about automotive, i dont know yet. good luck with your schooling.

  • @MonkeyWithAWrench Haha, I have found it to be pointless attempting to inform ignorant people on Youtube, they never wanna listen. Lol

  • You've got it wrong there bud, Basically, Torque is the pulling force of an engine, its (muscle if you like) and HP its ability to accelerate through cycles.... Trains have lots of torque but not alot of horsepower that's why they can't move quickly but can pull heavy weights....

  • howstuffworks(dot)com/question­622.htm

    okay? that's good.

  • Sorry Horsepower is not a "manmade" unit. It is a unit of power.

    Power is how much work you can do per second.

    Torque is work, and RPM is revolutions per second.

    more rpm does NOT mean more torque. Torque is independent of RPM. In fact, if you look at a torque curve, past the torque peak, torque decreases with rpms.

  • howstuffworks(dot)com/question 622.htm

    The information is there, take it as you want. I'm not going to waste my time.

  • does this article say that horsepower is "manmade?" NO With 1hp i can create 100000000ft lbs of torque. With 1 billion trillion ft lbs of torque, i cannot even make a car accelerate 1 mph.

  • no, torque is force. you can have torque and not have any movement. work (Force * Distance ) is when the force does somthing useful. thats where horsepower comes in. its the amount of work an engine can do, torque is the amount of force it can apply.

  • @MonkeyWithAWrench

    What first of, Torque is not force. Any highschool physics student can tell you that retard. Torque is measured in Foot * Lbs, or Newton * Meters. A newton meter is a joule. Same units, but torque is applied around a center point. Get some education retard.

  • do some research dumshit. torque is force applied around an axis with a given radius. FOOT (radius) POUNDS (force)

    a newton meter is also a torque. NEWTON (force) METER (radius). a joule is the amount of energy it takes to move an object with a force of one newton one meter. im pulling this directly out of my text book Design Concepts for Engineers 3rd edition by Mark N. Horenstein. so, unless everyone in the engineering department at weber state is an idiot, you must be a dumbass!

  • but you are right. more rpm's does not mean more torque and is an independant variable.

  • @halohadel

    Torque is not work,

    Work is Force x Distance moved.

    Torque is Force x Perpendicular distance, like moments.

  • where did this guy cut and past that from haha

  • HP Horsepower is a measure of the rate at which work can be done. Historically, it was derived from the ability of the average horse to carry a weight of 100 pounds over 330 feet in 1 minute, which became the equivalent measurement of one horsepower. The standard unit for measuring engine power: 1 hp is the power required to lift 550 pounds of weight one foot high in a second. Hope this helps :)

  • Torque is more valuable than horsepower...and these guys have got plenty of that now!!

  • i dont wanna sound stupid but does anyone know the difference between torque and horsepower?

    i know what torque is but what is hp?

  • HP is the ability to "do work", or provide power, measured as Foot-Pound-Second.

    1hp= about 550 ft/lbs of energy every second.

    Theoretically, 1hp could move 550lbs. 1 foot, in 1 second. Imagine horses dragging weight...it's linear, it does not twist. That's where the torque comes in.

    I'm not a physics teacher, I wish I could explain it better.

  • Comment removed

  • false.. torque is more like a rotational force, a torque that causes rotation results in work. hp is the rate at which this work can be delivered

  • Huh...I explained that HP was work by period of time, and mentioned that torque introduced twist (rotational force).

    So, are you saying that you too are wrong, since you esentially mimicked what I said, or are you just a jump-to-conclusions before you read all of the conversation before you kinda guy?

    Don't answer, I already know, but thanks for playing!

  • are you retarded? Horsepower is created from torque... Torque x RPM / 5252 is the equation to find out how much horsepower your engine puts out. Horsepower is a man made unit of measurement, not a force in any way. Torque is the force the motor puts out...

  • you are incorrect. Horsepower makes torque.

  • so cute, i'm gonna stop responding now. you people are so stupid, you need to actually look it up instead of talking out of your asses. Open your minds you ignorant little people.

  • Horsepower is a man made unit of measurement to determine how much power an engine has. It's measured by taking the torque of a motor that it gives out at a specific RPM and dividing it by 5252. for example, 600 foot pounds of torque at 6000 RPM would be 685.45 horsepower at 6000 RPM

  • thats not true i dont know the formula but diesel engines for example normaly have way more torgue than horsepower so idk how that formula could work

  • no, i've researched it. The correct function computers use to calculate horsepower from torque is "Torque x RPM / 5252" I've tested the math myself too.

  • that dosent make sense but i dont feel like spending time on it so i dont care

  • You cant have horsepower without torque, so obviously it's more valueable...

  • not in all cases

  • dam i remember when the banks setup was a prototype!

  • i was about to say man, that pipe was fucking cherry. holy fuck. lol!

  • Deutschland :)

  • i got a banks kit for my R.V. lol now it hauls even more ass for a v8 vortec gas puller wih a workhorse chassis

  • love that diesel sound

  • Does anybody know from who this music is??? Would be great to have this...:=)) in order to exceed some speedlimits:=))

    Thanx a lot.

    Ding

  • This music is called "Half Dome". It comes on mac computers

  • I love this truck; didn't it break a land-speed record? I heard it has stock sheetmetal. It did pull it's own trailer to the salt before it broke the record. Street legal; yum. And why does everyone spend so much time arguing whether gas or diesel is better? They are DIFFERENT, but they both have a place. Gas may be "better" for racing, but that just makes it cooler when a diesel is built to challenge (Audi R10). I'd be curious to see someone build a gas engine to challenge at semi-truck pulls.

  • no that was the dodge dakota cummins that beat the record and pulled its own trailer averaging 23 mpg

  • Are you sure? Huh; I'm confused now. I'm gonna have to look into this. I guess they all look the same. If you are right, I'm not suprised. CUMMINS KICK ASS!! Not that I don't like 'em all, I just like straight -sixes best.

  • the dakota has a record and is street legal this one is not street legal

  • very interesting

  • lol never heard of a diesel being power deficient

  • they wouldnt be bad for drag racing since you can build boost, but they wouldnt be the best if you have to race around a track

  • Audi won the LeMans 24 hour race in a diesel for 9 years in row. They also won Sebring endurance races and championships here in America for years in ALMS races, . . . so WTF!!

  • im not talkin about no 24 hr race im talkin nascar and indy racing, they are much heavier and generally have lag

  • actually a cummins engine won indy years ago

  • But they put out more than enough power to make up for that weight.

  • Peugeot won this year with HDi FAP

  • wtf is the point of racing a diesel they are heavy and slugish they will never be as good for racing as a gas engine

    o what about a 2 stroke diesel that might be crazy

  • When you know what you're talking about, come back and you can ask some rational, informed questions.

  • do you know anything about diesels?

  • yea i know that top fuel dragsters are and never will be diesel for a reason

    i know a bit about diesels but i am by no means a diesel mechanic

    i am a big fan of diesels actually for towing and their new clean diesel tech that has good power and excellent mpg but they are not for racing

  • if thats slugish then ide wate to see fast

  • Diesels have more torque than gasoline engines. Torque is one thing you want. They also have a good amount of horsepower. Horsepower is another thing you want. Why exactly are they so horrible?

  • horsepower is determined by torque versus rotations of the engine...

    diesels don't rotate as fast at petrol engines... that's why they're torquey but often power deficient...

  • Whatever, i'll just let you think what you think and i'll know what I know. So, goodbye.

  • well they def have more torque than a gas engine they have ok hp but not that great

    diesel engines for one are very heavy they are aslo very sluggish engines in general

    look at your standard diesel engine it needs a turbo just to be drivable

  • Whatever, I know they are heavy, but they are still awsome. And if they are so sluggish, then why do they put them in heavy machinery such as busses, semis, and most large pickups?

  • most older diesels dont even have turbos dummy

  • actually diesels have been turboed and supercharged for a long time not all have it but go drive one that dosent an just see how speedy quick it is dummy 0-60 in like 2 to 3 min

  • What is the timing on a such diesel ?

  • ha that would be basically a cummins...

  • love dmax but i hate the concept of a diesel with aluminum heads. they are proven engines tho unlike the powertrokes (the 6.0s I mean the 7.3s are legendary). I'd take a duramax with iron heads with the cummins straight six configuration.

  • there not mufflers or headers there turbo manifolds...idiots lol.

  • alluminum melts around 1350 or so so it being over that puts the heads and turbo at risk does it not

  • those are headers lol

  • those are turbo manifolds lol :P same thing, except they spool the turbo and then head for the exhaust..

  • idiot

  • Banks are the way to go if i ever own a diesel pickup. No black smokes like every other tuners out there and turbo kit out there. Nice job there Gale....

  • 0:56 did it die?

  • of course not
