OUTTA CONTROL

KEVIN ARMSTRONG’S BEAUTIFUL 3.6-CLASS DURAMAX PULLER

- CHRIS TOBIN

The Armstrong family is a proud pulling family led by 2-time Lucas Oil Pro Pulling League points champion Kevin with his sons Logan and Dylan following along in his tire tracks competing in their own trucks. The latest addition to the family was a major upgrade to dad’s pull truck “Outta Control” revamping it from a 2006 model to a 2015 model Chevrolet Silverado. While the rebuild technically used the chassis from the 2006 version of “Outta Control” it was completely rebuilt and reworked by the team at HSP Diesel to be a fierce competitor on the pull track while looking like a show truck at the same time.

To give the reborn pull truck plenty of oomph as he drags the sled down the track Anderson turned to Mark Broviak at Danville Performance to build a Duramax engine capable of competing with the big name Cummins competitors. The 6.6L Duramax features a GM crankshaft with a SoCal Diesel Super Damper swinging a set of CP-Carrillo rods and Finger’s oval bowl pistons with a 13:1 compression ratio through the cylinder bores. A custom camshaft controls the valve actuation inside the Wagler Competition Products CNC machined, ported and polished cylinder heads while everything is held firmly together with ARP studs and fasteners.
