Turbodiesel pickups are a breed unto themselves. Where else can you find a truck capable of putting down 2,000 lb. ft. torque and making 1,000 hp while still getting you to work and home every day? The enthusiasts who modify their turbodiesel trucks are some of the most resourceful and passionate people around. And the competitions they hold to show off their builds are some of the most intense you’ll see. We can’t get enough of the sheer power turbodiesels offer, which is why we stand as the Exclusive Official Oil of the most prestigious diesel truck competitions in the nation, including the Diesel Power Challenge and the Ultimate Callout Challenge.
Video transcript: Ultimate Call Out Challenge 2016
Hi, I’m Mark Nyholm from AMSOIL. We’re here at the first ever Ultimate Callout Challenge. Now this is a challenge of pure enthusiasts. This isn’t your daily driver here.
These are full-blown race trucks. The first event here at Ultimate Callout Challenge is the dyno. Each truck will roll on and see what they can put out for the best horsepower and torque. AMSOIL is a major sponsor of Ultimate Callout Challenge.
We’re here because we’re devoted to protecting the diesel enthusiast and these guys are trying to put the biggest numbers out on that dyno, which means the lubricants that they use need to protect those engines from failing. Day two is a quarter mile drag. These guys are competing to see who put the fastest time down within a quarter mile. I’m LaVonne Miller with Firepunk Diesel from Plain City, Ohio.
It’s an honor to come out to the Ultimate Callout Challenge and compete. I got into diesels for needing a work truck that’s reliable and high miles and then obviously we got the horsepower bug and we got a little carried away. But once you diesel something in your blood, once you get, once you feel the torque and the power that you can make, your hook, you won’t go back and buy a gas truck after that. After the quarter mile drag, we wrap this thing up with sled pulling.
You’re trying to put 3,000 foot pounds down on the dyno or whether you just drive around in your turbo diesel pickup on Sunday. We build products that are devoted to protection and protect the enthusiasts to keep them on their own.
