This week’s Black Friday video features a Ford F-250 pickup that is very clearly powered by a PowerStroke diesel engine with some work done to it that includes an exhaust system and some fuel management goodies that allow it to roll some serious coal.
This truck appears to be parked against the side of a neighborhood cul-de-sac and over the course of the 48 second video, this F-250 has no problems basically blocking the road leading in with smoke.
About 20 seconds in, a black Honda Accord rolls behind the F-250 as tries to avoid the smoke as the Ford Super Duty owner keeps pouring soot even though the girl filming the exhibition of diesel smoke yells for the driver to stop.
I wouldn’t have stopped either…especially if I had a chance to use my worked F-250 roll coal on an ugly little Honda. The Ford continues rolling coal until almost the end of the video and it sounds great the whole time so crank up your speakers and enjoy!
"Before I was old enough to walk, my dad was taking me to various types of racing events, from local drag racing to the Daytona 500," says Patrick Rall, a lifetime automotive expert, diehard Dodge fan, and respected auto journalist for over 10 years. "He owned a repair shop and had a variety of performance cars when I was young, but by the time I was 16, he was ready to build me my first drag car – a 1983 Dodge Mirada that ran low 12s. I spent 10 years traveling around the country, racing with my dad by my side. While we live in different areas of the country, my dad still drag races at 80 years old in the car that he built when I was 16 while I race other vehicles, including my 2017 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat and my 1972 Dodge Demon 340.
"Although I went to college for accounting, my time in my dad’s shop growing up allowed me the knowledge to spend time working as a mechanic before getting my accounting degree, at which point I worked in the office of a dealership group. While I was working in the accounting world, I continued racing and taking pictures of cars at the track. Over time, I began showing off those pictures online and that led to my writing.
"Ten years ago, I left the accounting world to become a full-time automotive writer and I am living proof that if you love what you do, you will never “work” a day in your life," adds Rall, who has clocked in time as an auto mechanic, longtime drag racer and now automotive journalist who contributes to nearly a dozen popular auto websites dedicated to fellow enthusiasts.
"I love covering the automotive industry and everything involved with the job. I was fortunate to turn my love of the automotive world into a hobby that led to an exciting career, with my past of working as a mechanic and as an accountant in the automotive world provides me with a unique perspective of the industry.
"My experience drag racing for more than 20 years coupled with a newfound interest in road racing over the past decade allows me to push performance cars to their limit, while my role as a horse stable manager gives me vast experience towing and hauling with all of the newest trucks on the market today.
