You know you are a diesel head when....

[HoleshotHolset]

... you can hardly keep from smiling when your Cummins powered Ram is hauling all of this stuff at once and handling it with absolute ease:

• Cab-forward frame cut from a ’94 Dodge Ram 2500 (Cummins) in the bed – including all suspension, brakes, steering, rims/tires, etc. I plan on using this for the Jeep project down the road…
  
  
  
• 2-horse, double-axle trailer with 10-bales of hay, an portable floor engine hoist and a two-wheel hand truck inside
  
  
  
• Our two dogs (80lbs total - not so much the weight, but the annoyance/distraction factor in the cab. :-laf)
  
  
  
• My wife and I and all the other bits and pieces associated with towing

to the same point you know with in a few pounds what your heavyest load was, 3100 plus the weight of the pallets, 1500# of 12"x12" slate and 20 80# bags of cement, it was getting close to the helper springs but not on them, a toyota truck thought he'd beat me up the double ramp to the interstate with that load, he was wrong :-laf

.

. . . When your neighbor brings home a 2400 lb pallet load of rock in a 1/2 ton Ford and you seriously consider running out and seeing how much (or how little) your own suspension would compress under the same load.

... you don't care that the full heaping load of moist horse dung in your 8' bed lowered the rear bumper 9 inches because you knew your Ram 2500 could carry it and the Cummins would move it easily. (If that load was less than 4000#, I'd've been surprised; 3600# of gray sand didn't drop the rear that much. )

... when ur neighbors give u that look cuz ur barefoot in pj's plugging in the CTD in a snow storm cuz SHE forgot!
... when the oil man asks why u have a pump on yer house tank!
... u laugh when the parts guy tries to sell u spark plugs for yer ram !
... u buy window visors to keep them cracked in weather so u can hear ur exhaust ALL the time!
... ur jack is collecting dust as the truck is too high to need it!
... the look on the dmax owners face as u drop the hammer... after he spent all morning bragging about his trucks power. he,he,he

You get pulled out of line at the airport because you have diesel on you and the sniffers caught it. And they won't believe that you filled your truck on the way to the airport! Double bad if you fertilized your lawn this morning!:-laf

My sister's wedding is mentioned in a TDR issue, #55 to be exact.



My bedroom and bathroom are Dodge Themed. Tail Gate on wall as art work as well as a "Dodge Different" banner!!



I won't date any guy who's vehicle will fit in the bed of my truck!



I want to get married at May Madness with a Dodge themed wedding!! = )



I like spending time under my truck on the creeper just for fun! And smile when I get dirty!



I get shocks for my 19th Birthday and help my dad put them on!



I make a list of stuff to do on my truck and shortly after it is completed I start making a new one for next year!



I use any excuse to wear my coveralls!



I'm a third generation Dodge Diesel owner!

Now where have you been my whole life? And why are NV and VT so far apart? Anyway, you should get some pics of that truck uploaded. I'd love to see what 03 wheels look like on a 93 - such as mine
