The last day of Diesel Power Challenge 2009 brings us to the fuel economy test and sled pull competition…


Yesterday, the competitions yielded bests of an 11.07 quarter-mile drag race time, an 11-second flat trailer tow time (1/8-mile), and 1,479 lb-ft of torque on a Super Flow dyno.

As many will want to know, there was some carnage.

A common-rail Dodge ate a transmission, a Duramax blew a turbo, and a Ford kept blowing an intake boot, but everyone made it through the drag race and trailer tow. In a couple hours we’ll know this year’s winner.
