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

[MEby]

I know I'm a Girl Diesel Head when... .



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!

Talk about some hard to come by qualitys right there.

[MForbus]

Yes a Saluki is a dog. One of my other favorite things is showing dogs. Well. . as to the boy friend's name. . He doesn't have a name because I don't have one.

 

[PToombs]

He doesn't have a name because I don't have one.

Oh boy! That's gonna open a can a worms right there! :-laf



You might wanna shut off your PM box! :-laf

 

[DCreed]

You know you're a diesel head when there's just something about a woman up to her arm pits in grease you can't stop thinkin about!

 

[MN Cummins Lvr]

you are at a Mopar car show, looking at a $150K Hemi powered Mopar, and you take note that the truck pulling this car is a 98 Ram 3500 QC with a 12 valver Cummins and are more impressed by that :-laf:-laf



This was me today... . :-laf

... U stick your nose in a jug of corn oil and think (of the smell),"I can live with that, but how does it smoke?"

 

[WDixon27]

you generally avoid drive through windows so you don't have to shut down with a potentially hot turbo to hear over the crap speaker

 

[johncameron]

When you turn on the key and wait to start. IN ANY VEHICLE YOU GET IN, diesel or not.

I do that every time I drive the other car in the driveway

 

[HOBrian]

When you borrow a friends lifted, smartified, sweet sounding 2nd gen and think to yourself... I may not give this one back:-laf Junior you won't mind, right

 

[MForbus]

You yell at a rice burner leaving home depot with 8ft boards strapped on his car to get a truck!



Or in St. George you yell at a Chevy Cavallier who has a sofa strapped to the top of its car to get a truck!!



Had to keep this thread alive!! = )

... you don't even need a 4x4 ATV, but that sweet new Arctic Cat 700 diesel WILL be in your future.



... you start making plans to BOMB diesel engines you don't even own yet.



... your Thoroughbred nays every time he hears one of the TDIs or the 12-valve fire off.

 

[59Turbo]

... you don't even need a 4x4 ATV, but that sweet new Arctic Cat 700 diesel WILL be in your future.



You know it! Anyone make a turbo or programmer for that thing yet?

 

[JFlagg]

Or... ... Everytime a diesel drives past your house your dogs hop up and run to the door thinking its you! Even though your sitting on the couch watching them

 

[6BT-Dakota]

Im sure some of these have already been posted but I found this whole list in one place so i figured id post it.



Ya Know Your a Diesel Freak When



1) You can decipher the sound of a Powerstroke, Cummins, or Duramax from 100 yards away without seeing the truck. You can also tell the difference just by sound from the 7. 3 to the 6. 0 Powerstroke and a 2nd generation Cummins 12v/ 24v engine to the Common rail motors in the 3rd Generation. ********************



2) You have your pass side mirror permanently tilted down, so you can see the smoke dump out the tailpipe at every intersection. ********************



3) You have to look at the same mirror every time you start your Diesel, just to see the first puff of smoke. ********************



4) Your friends think you are weird because every full sized truck that goes by catches your attention, and you are breaking your neck trying to see if you can see "Powerstroke" "Cummins" or "Duramax" written anywhere on it. And then when you find out it's only a 1/2 ton you are ****** you even bothered. ********************



5) You think it's lame to haul or pull any sized trailer with anything but a Diesel. ********************



6) You back your truck downwind, and idle so you can get a sent of the diesel smell. ********************



7) When you pull into a drive-through, you take it as a compliment when they tell you to turn your motor off because it's too loud. ********************



8) When you are not in your Diesel and roll up to a stop light, and roll down the windows to listen for other oncoming diesels. ********************



9) Someone comments to you how loud your truck is and you reply, with a grin and a chuckle "Ain't it, though!" ********************



10) Regardless of outside temperature, you still roll down the passenger window when in tunnels, under bridges, or beside walls, just so you can listen to your truck. ********************



11) ... when you get into a gasser that is idling and try to start it. ********************



12) don’t you guys hate it when you jump into another truck (non diesel) and you turn the key to the "run" position and out of habit look and wait for the "wait to start" light? LOL. ********************



13) ..... when the opening line from your family/friends is. . "so what'd you do to your truck THIS week?" ********************



14) Your wife's car won't start and you go to the dealer and buy 2 batteries... ********************



15) When you and your daughter try to pick out the Cummins powered school busses at school sporting events==and then argue over which is a twelve valve. ********************



16) When you make your wife or girlfriend or buddy drive your truck down the road, just so you know what it sounds like from the outside. ********************



17) Your wife's friend comes over with her two new babies, you hear 'twins' and you come running' in the house all greasy from just being under your truck wanting to see a couple of Holsets and it's only two drooling babies who happen to look alike. ********************



18) Your idea of a kick ***** stereo system is the business end of a set of dual stacks. ********************



19) You Are SERIOUSLY considering putting that single stack through your hood! ********************



20) When you jump out of the truck after shut off and stick your ear to the tailpipe just to here the turbo spinning. ********************



21) When you find yourself polishing your turndown pipe whenever you get a little mud on it. ********************



22) When your girlfriend gets hit on by some guy in a truck and she says "its not even a diesel". ********************



23) You refuse to let people pay you after they "allow" you to work on their Diesel. ********************



24) When your old lady asks why you have to always back into a parking space, even when you’re in her car! ********************



25) When your rather wax the truck than taker her to a movie. ********************



26) When you have a better selection of filters on the shelf than she has seasonings on the pantry shelf! ********************



27) When you make a wide right turn while driving a car ********************



28) When your old lady asks why you have to always back into a parking space, even when you’re in her car!" ********************



29) When your wife or girl says "Did you see the paint job on that pick-up we just passed?", and you say "Oh, it wasn't a diesel, I didn't notice". ********************



30) When you see a pickup driving half a mile ahead of you on the highway, and you roll down the window, sniff the air for a while, and say "Yep. Cummins! ! ! !
