i watched every second of video y'all posted about this build. such an inspiration, such a rad car. sad to see it go this way for you this year. cant wait for y'all to take a record next year.

After so long... youtube finally made a good recommendation

"What happened?" "We put a Powerstroke into a GTR and it didn't work." I love this guy's attitude toward the whole situation. Can't wait to see them come back next year and crush the record.

The fact that you guys even had something that passed tech and participated is a accomplishment.

Cole was the only person I lost a race to in high school and I don’t even feel bad about it. Seeing this is awesome.

this video was nuts, such high video production quality, you guys deserve a better reception for this honestly!

Wow this is one Hell of a story I stumbled across!!! Had no idea I just watched a 40min video it was so engrossing. Good Luck guys!!! Y’all gained a new subscriber and I’ll be keeping up with you guys on the next run. It’s like a hood book and I’m waiting for the next chapter to be written👍👍🤟🤟

38:12 that “hmmf” was such a mellow reaction to such a monumentally maddening moment. Props to Cole for staying cool. 🤜🏼🤛🏼 Next year is going to be lit for your team with a year of testing and refinement under your belt, but now your competition has a target to aim for 😉

2:19 Tech Day (Monday) 4:57 First Test + PPIR (Tuesday) 10:11 Qualifying and Issues (Wednesday) 15:26 Total Engine Failure (Thursday) 20:58 No Hope (Friday) 27:47 New Engine Fires (Saturday) 29:53 Race Day (Sunday) Heres some video chapters if that interests you guys (song name six days war)

What a great documentary of a bunch of guys with a coal burning dream trying to do something normal people would think is crazy. Amazing struggle, Amazing effort, Amazing Filmography. Can't wait for part 2.

Guys, please. NEVER. EVER. GIVE. UP. Never ever give up on this record, and never give up on Frank. She is an absolute monster and I will be here to see her claim that record she is owed. I mean come on, 20 seconds faster than ole Smokey on the first section? IT’S RIGHT THERE GUYS! JUST DON’T GIVE UP ON HER. I’m so in love with this build, and the vision behind the team. All of y’all are super talented awesome people, and the work ethic is absolutely awe inspiring. That week was hell I’m sure, but let that fire forge a race car to claim that record. A Powerstroke Diesel GTR is something I never knew I needed until I came across ol Frank the Tank. Need more Frank merch and I can’t wait to see y’all this year!

The video production was out of this world. A lot of props goes to the team for having such amazing dedication and perseverance. Next year, you guys will crush that record!

Lyfe Motorsport is the most determined and coolest team. You guys do amazing work. You had seen what it could do, 20 second up in first sector.

You guys tried something that was just absolutely bat crap crazy and made it work for the most part. Most people would just give up at the point it all came apart (literally from the sound of it,) but you guys, especially Cole are only mildly discouraged and are going to learn from this and do it all again next year. I'll definitely be watching the day Cole takes Frank up the mountain and smokes the diesel record.

That tune would make Gale Banks cry.

35:23 made me laugh when he says everyone in the crowd was losing it and only a handful of people cheered out of the hundreds there 🤣

To hear that monster take off. My god you guys are amazing! Keep up the amazing work. I can not wait for next year and see you guys break record!

Not usually a fan of diesel builds but this one is just too cool to not love. Great work guys. Love seeing the struggle and not just the race. Really encapsulates the hard times the teamwork needed to make dreams come true.

The level of communication and commitment from your team is applauded!! My heart goes out to you folks. Thanks for sharing your highest highs and lowest lows. 🙂

Even if you did finish and didn't win I wouldn't care. Unique is what make Pikes Peak special and you guys hands down delivered.

With that 6.0 powerstroke its a wonder yall even made it to the top...7.3 for life...

Well done to everyone involved. Looking forward to this journey. Also, major props on the actual making of the video. Nice work. -Ben

This is why I love hill climb cars! The builds are totally insane! Who would ever ever thought to swap a diesel in a gtr? 🤯🤘🔥 what an amazing video!

What a contrast in driving style! Most flat track racers drive on the edge of control. This guy had only 1 hay bale every half mile! He was taking those outside corners REAL CAREFUL! "Let's go fast, but live to drive again!"

As an onlooker all I can think is - thank you for posting such an authentic video! I grew up in Security and ever since my first hike up Barr Trail to the summit (1974) to watch racers like you I love watching race teams compete on the mountain. Thanks again for what you do!

You guys epitomize team work! Having experienced many years in and around Formula and GT racing, the dedication and determination to succeed you guys displayed was up wit the best. Best wishes for next year's attempt. I will be watching.

The fact that they chose one of the least reliable diesel motor ever and made it work is astonishing

These guys should have watched everything wrong with a 6.0 by DeBoss Garage 😂

after enough years of being a car enthusiast, there's only so many things that make you go "wow". i feel like i've seen it all, from 2jz minivans to aero monsters at tsukuba, true gods driving through the nurburgring, and this build just got added to the list. awe inspiring. such a sick build!

Absolutely love watching this team with each passing year!!!!!

You guys are gonna get it. 2023. We'll be watching.

The team- "Why would we need to pull the valve covers?" Murphy- "hahaha!"

Awesome build get rid of the 6.0 power stroke and put a OM606. That would be cool.

I remember how i was watching the live stream and laughed with comentators how they said "it sounds strange...gtr but we hear a diesel" and i realized that something more different i never heard and see that my brain wont processed it.. :D but it was a really sad to see that you guys didn't make it to the top...hope for the next year! greetings from the czech republic!

Fantastic guys! What a thriller of a journey. You guys deserve a win, record and the finally you’ve all worked so hard for. Such an incredible build!! 🎉

Heartbreaking to hear her putter out on that corner, but before that ... WHAT A MONSTER!!!! I wish i didn't have to wait a whole year to see chapter 2.

Awesome story you guys will make it next year and the overcoming of the sleepless times and let downs makes you stronger. Stay motivated and humble. Greetings from Okinawa Japan

The fact that a guy who's named Cole drives a diesel on pikes peak just makes my day. Rollin Cole on pikes peak 😂👍

That’s why u need a cummins swap much easier more parts available and way more space to work on the engine bay !

"Everyone in the crowd started cheering" *Shows 4 people cheering* LOL 😂😂

why not go for a v6 3.0t tdi or v8 4.2 tdi? would likely be more reliable under throttle in the curves, (while being waaaay lighter and having stock applications that bolt up to a zf8hp awd trans) i understand they are more complicated but having worked on 6.0's, 7.3's, cummins, dura's, i feel it would fit the application better and still be weird....

Just put in a om606 engine and you can get that hill all day long. Great work.

Eagerly awaiting the comeback......

Guys, I am from Germany and I love your strenght to carry on, to keep fighting against non existing doubts. Weiter so. Your efforts and the team spirit will take the lead.

This is what Living Lyfe is all about. Hats off to the Hole team!

Awesome stuff guys! As a big 6.0 enthusiast and local to PPIHC, great to see you guys out here to break the diesel record with a 6.0! Also if you guys ever need last minute 6.0 parts while your at here next year, holler I have a ton of spare 6.0’s and extra parts. Can’t wait to see the Frank 6.0 next year!

You guys will get it! 2023

It’s 2 AM can’t sleep grab my phone go to KZfaq select this video. Watch every second of it. Incredible can’t wait till next year when they smash the diesel record. Good night.

I was confused when they said they had another engine, then proceeded to build Up a separate engine, with apparently different length pushrods? Having a back up engine normally means it’s ready to go, not a block and components that needs to be assembled at 2 AM while experimenting with seemingly random changes. The oil system modifications makes sense, but whose bright idea was it to change the pushrod length to the point where the engine wouldn’t even make compression? Anyways, impressive work all around in spite of the confusing aspects. Why such a short time to get things ready? Maybe they just got the idea to compete in pikes Peak a few weeks before the event? With all that stress, rushed and exhausted crew, I would have waited till next year and done it with plenty of practice and confidence. Also a few miles on the odometer/racetrack so you know it’s reliable? That’s probably why I’m not setting any records LOL I’m not at the end of the video yet, maybe they just had such a crazy and great idea that they win in spite of all the hardships. Can’t wait to find out! If they don’t do it this year, I’m excited to see what happens next year.

This car runs global warming tears.

I have never seen a diesel come out of a corner so strong!

Damn guys! What a story!!!! Y’all did a hell of a job documenting this. Cole 2023 FTW!!

I was so hurt when the car broke then I remembered they used a 6.0 … good times

Lesson learned... never use a powerstroke to set records😁 Why didn't you use a 6000 rpm Banks Duramax instead? Pretty much proven technology.

THIS!! THIS IS WHAT I WANT TO WATCH KZfaq!! Get that into your algorithm!

I hate to sound like every other person commenting on everyone of y’all’s videos, so let me try this; I’ve watched every video pertaining to this vehicle build, but I cannot for the life of me figure out why y’all went with the ford 6.0. There are so many other diesels that are either more reliable at a similar dimension or more reliable at a smaller dimension. The rule of thumb I’ve always been thought is, “Always start with the most reliable engine you can, because the more you you want to shave off a lap the more you’re going to shave off the life of that motor, and that motors only gotta last one lap.” I can’t help but feel like whoever set y’all up with that motor set you up for failure. Sorry to sound so down, I’m stoked y’all got the car going and it’s unfortunate the engine starved of oil. Great saga. Can’t wait to see more of this car; even if it’s still rocking a six liter.

Now that's the American never-say-die spirit. good luck next year. I'll be rooting for you!

What a great effort! Don't feel bad team, you're not the fist to be enormously let down by a six oh. It's a cursed design.

What a legend. Wonderful attitude from Cole and the team.

I can't wait to 👀 you all break the RECORD! Great story and some Dreams can come true!

The car was great, but the crew really showed us teamwork. This is what men do.

I can't believe the engine you guys chose was a 6.0 power stroke! One of the best sounding diesel engines out there but there junk that's a fact seen it with my own eyes 👀

Props to you, guys, for using the vocals from Six Days for each day of the week :D

I want to see the documentary about the engineering of Cole’s teeth 😎

Goodness that turbo sings so beautifully.

Impressive documentary guys, amazing to watch.

Dude, first mistake…..6.0 ford! 5.9 twin turbo Cummins, valve cover is on top! Love the vid, love the work you guys put into all of it, R35 diesel is a masterpiece!! Congrats though, going to make history!!

This was amazing! My heart broke as soon as I seen it sputtering 😢 great job guys

Love that song

Absolutely crushing to see a Dnf but the work and passion was beautiful.

Beautiful, get it sorted out and come back next year!

You Blew Up 2 Engines. That's the biggest lesson. Great effort. Hope to see you accomplish the New Record!

Welp, now I have an even better reason to watch Pike's Peak next year. Best random video click of the week.

Amazing work, you guys put so much work, time, blood, sweat and tears. you guys are right there. Next year is your year.! i Believe in you guys!!!

I was at Devils Playground on race day... you couldn't see anything until about the time that you rolled off the line... it was cold and miserable, had family out from a different state, it was gonna be so cool! Then the weather happened... this was the car that I was hyped the most to see. When we heard that you left the line, everyone was on the edge of their seat waiting to see the car. Heard the car in front of you broke down and just listened to the live stream. See you go past the brake check station (forgot the official name of the place), and then you dissappear in the trees. 2 minutes pass and still no sign of you. Everyone started to chat amongst eachother wondering what happened. 2 minutes later and we hear that you werent gonna make it to the top. Everyone just kinda threw the towel and headed towards their cars. I cannot wait to see you run next year! Found out about this on stradman's channel I think it was... it's you and Randy Pobst that I'm rooting for on the 101th running!

This is so amazing! Great work guys, you will get that beast to the top! Thanks for sharing this amazing journey and I can not wait to see what you guys do next time!

Awesome video! Love the efforts you all went to! And that calm reaction as it broke down I felt that as that's what I do when them things happen! Like what else can you do! Take care and all the best next time

Great video and an amazing build. Good luck for next year guys. You’ve got this 👍🏼👍🏼

Mind....totally blown and its a gnarly sounding beast with that turbo going blissful

Any aero specialist is SCREAMING seeing a go pro on the dang wing right by the endplace

The video quality was so good and kept me interested the whole time even though I’m just a viewer the car is so cool and I wish you guys the best

This is a prime example of even if you throw tons of high dollar parts at something it won't make up for the lack of thought process.....

I see a movie in the making, nice story line, and I'm already itching for part two.... nice work and determination 💪

Amazing, next year deffo!!!

Such an awesome film! Evoked emotion from me which is rare these days. The fact that you made it to the start line, after all the obstacles set before you leading up to that, is a testament to what you guys are made of. Truly inspiring to say the least.

That is one hell of a car, work those bugs out and next year you will have that Pikes Peak record, good luck.

We are going to be watching and following till next year keep the spirit alive 🙌 🙏 👍

Based on that first sector time, it sounds to me like ya'll got that record down cold next time around. Keep up the good work!!

I felt proud of the team when I saw how they handled the disappointment of the car stopping. This is a solid bunch of guys and I would love to work beside them.

Good luck in next year!

38:12 That moment you realize that's it with some astonishment that it's the exact same corner from quali. I love how the people approaches him and gave him encouragement. It must have been really frustrating as a driver.

The Tokyo drift music was so sick! Good video guys !

"sleep for maybe... 2 hours" bro that's a nap 🤣

When I was stationed at Ft Carson in the late 80s I went up to the top of Pike's peak several times. There were no paved roads and no guardrails whatsoever. And they were racing back then. Crazy.

Fantastic video 40 mins just flew by… cheers for next year fella’s!

The low RPMs and the quietness of the engine on the video really makes it seem like it's going a lot slower than it actually is. And it's weird how as a viewer my perception of speed is altered so much by what sounds I'm USED to hearing. Took a good second to realize how fast y'all were actually going. Absolutely dope build 😁🤙

As a cummins guy, this is obnoxiously satisfying to watch

hahahahahahaha that mechanic! they pull the oil pan. its full of metal "i no wats rong wit it, aint got no gas init" hahahahaha

At the 'electrical malfunction' part of the video, It's amazing how complexity/technology sometimes isn't the advantage one thinks. A p-pump 5.9 Cummins setup with electric only needed to start it is probably looking really good to those that run them.

This is the best "Bubba'n 'em" build I've ever seen LMAO
