Addiction

[redneckdr]

I need help! Since I got the Harley-Davidson Ram, and then found you renegades, I’m developing an awful addiction. I’m getting addicted to TDR. I can’t eat. I toss and turn at night. My sweat is starting to smell like diesel fuel. My breathing is starting to sound like a turbo—maybe it’s asthma? My trouser coughs are starting to smell like diesel fumes (a definite improvement). I mentioned getting a 5” pipe the other day and my wife smiled for the first time in weeks. When I explained it was exhaust for the truck, her face fell. I’m starting to dream fueling modules in color. I haven’t touched the Harley in weeks. I go to sleep trying to figure out how to get a B5. 9 into my Dakota convertible. I fantasize removing the HD Ram transmission single-handedly to upgrade the tc and valve body. Don’t even think about getting a speck of dirt on my nerfs. I’m getting an urge to tell the boss to ”Ram it”. I’m starting to consider the TDR mag heavy reading. Cummins clatter mostly drowns out rap music at the stoplights—if not shift to neutral and rev the engine.

It’s awful!! Does anybody know of a rehab program? 12 step program? TDR anonymous? Trade the HD Ram for a Phord? I DON’T THINK SO! Luramax? GIMME A BREAK!! MORE POWER!!!!MORE NOISE!!!!MORE SMOKE!!!!MORE BOMBS!!!

SOMETIMES YOU JUST GOTTA DO WHAT YOU GOTTA DO!!

Well sorry to say, it's likely terminal and all treatments are experimental at this point (ie. not covered by your auto insurance policy) and do not have FDA approval. You can choose either solo or combo treatment from the following:



Chemo: a potent mixture of hydrocarbons derived from #2 and Stanadyne additives

Radiation: This has to occur in a series of steps. First there is infrared from leaning over your running engine for long periods of time. Then ultraviolet while installing multiple performance enhancing products and not noticing certain body parts are getting a disproportionate share of RADs. Finally, there is the windburn that "seals in the treatment" while test driving aforementioned performance parts.

Physical Modalities: Heat: abundantly available, use liberally. Cold: See owner's manual under A/C. Mechanical: Abundant in BOMBed CTD's in the form of neck snapping, gut twisting, spine crushing acceleration and speed.

Shock Treatment: Opening that first credit card bill after purchasing aforementioned performance parts

Social Programs: Local TDR chapter BA groups (BOMBaholics Anonymous) - My name is _______ and I haven't thought about BOMBing in almost 5 minutes... .



Although this is by no means an exhaustive list of treatments, it should serve to get you started. Other treatments may be suggested as your case is analyzed and treatment efficacy evaluated.

kurt, i expected you to try to help me with a cure. have you seen any terminal cases before? what is your success rate with you rehab program. what does it cost? one thing for sure my Aetna won't pay for it. some fresh high school grad hired to say "no" would never pre-cert the treatment... ... ... if i have to pay for the treatment myself, i think i'll just spend the money on an EZ or a gauge set, or something else... ... ... ... ... ...

Shock treatment works for me... ... For awhile anyway!

There's not a 12 step program but there is a 12 VALVE program!

 

[redneckdr]

thanx for the help guys. i guess i'll just have to suffer, since i've ruled out the flowerpoke and the duralax. btw i wouldn't know to do with the extra 12 valves if i took 'em out????? paperweights??? i do have a 12 valve--in the rollin' redneck residence, th' C8. 3. it never gave me the BOMBitis, however since it is still bone stock at 275hp and around 560 ft/lb.

the hd ram muffler and resonstor got stolen yesterday whilst i was at work. i never even saw the rascals. ah dunno--i'll probably have to find a muffler of some kind again. that sucker sure is LOUD under acceleration. nice tone though. need a muffler that will decrease the volume and maintain the tone... ... .

What do they say??? You first have to admit you have a problem before you can help yourself.



I don't know what you guys are talking about. I'm on the TDR 24/7 and I don't have a problem

thanx, one and all. it's good to know that i've got company. my wife noted th' other day that i hadn't "bonded" with my last p/u, but i sure seemed to be "bonding" with the HD RAM. i had just awakened, and i told her to shut the door so the domelight would go out, and i could get a few more winks before my mornig ablutions. i did thank her for bringing me out a cup of coffee... does any body know what "bonding" means????
