Colton Johnston Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 At Super cross in Salt Lake last night the Diesel Brothers showed up and I think it was Heavy D that announced they were going to build a diesel powered monster truck for Monster Jam. Very Interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like running your car exhaust in a closed room (not good). That's why you only see the original XDP at jamborees and outdoor shows - the exhaust has somewhere to go. Dave Radzierez probably wanted to run with MJ so he put a different body and engine on the truck. I don't think Dave would run the truck in a closed stadium either. So unless this new diesel truck doesn't give off as much exhaust as XDP does, I guess it'll only be an outdoor truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He ran the name but he's been running that motor all year in Monster Jam. Same thing with running in Detroit and Minneapolis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madness MT Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 This XDP thing has me confused, if they don't allow Dave to drive a Diesel indoors then why does he use a regular engine in outdoor stadiums (El paso as an example)? I did see a post about the RII and I think the truck can have an RII in a Diesel. IMO Dave should do what he wants in outdoor stadiums, and if I am correct he is an independent truck, so that helps a bit too. I would prefer not to be judged about the last part I just wanted to state my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would prefer not to be judged about the last part I just wanted to state my opinion. He has run many indoor shows this year for both Monster Jam and other promoters. It is absolutely impractical to run an alcohol engine indoors one week and switch to a diesel engine the next week. It makes much more sense to switch back to a diesel engine after he is done all of his indoor shows, so he can do the outdoor summer shows with a diesel truck. And yes, the truck has an RII while running either engine, it just becomes much more difficult when something goes wrong in a diesel engine.
