Certified Dirty Idle Sticker

[mwilson]

Couldn't resist...found it on Ebay. Pick your state and engine logo if desired.

This would DEFINITELY work on one of my former Ram diesel trucks. My 2017 Ram 5500 has the clean idle sticker.

Thanks for the info.

Cheers, Ron

I wonder how long it will take for someone to be offended by that sticker?

Just hand them a Certified One-Dee-Ten-Tee sticker for their forehead... Hint: 1D10T

That's cool.

 

[Wiredawg]

You know what? Ever buy something AND not know what you're going to do with it? I just might. If I could mount this on magnetic tape, be cool to put it over my "Certified" label on my 5500.

Almost there to get it. Worst case, I'll just stick it on the back of my tow body where I have a small area for my American Flag sticker, Texas Flag Sicker, and Barkers On Board magnet.

Cheers, Ron

Pairs well with a "Prius Repellant" sticker near the tailpipe.

Speaking of Prius drivers....we have those signs in PA that state "No Idle Diesels Over 5 ton GVW". Anyway, one day at our local Rite Aid Pharmacy, I left the Sprinter running in the parking lot while I ran in to pick up a prescription. My wife and my mother were sitting in the van with the AC's running.

When I came out, this woman starts screaming at me "Can't you read dumb ***?" "The law says you can't idle a diesel". I responded "I may not be able to read, but can you do math? How many pounds are in 5 tons? Now come here and look at this tag. What does that say?" She responded "8550". So I aked her "how many tons is that" She replied "Not quite 4 1/2. But it's the point" and stormed back toward her car, which happened to be a Prius.

As she was driving away, she gave me the finger. I just happened to notice that she wasn't wearing her seat belt. As luck would have it, one of the troopers I work with regularly just happened to notice the same thing just a couple of miles down the road. I waved politely as we drove by.

I wished there was a way to put a DOUBLE LIKE on a post. Not sure if you ever heard of Roy D. Mercer (Google Him If Not), but this would be a great story in his venue, where he always has the famous "Wake Up America!" Prius's have a bigger environmental impact with battery disposal than normal cars of that size. Disclaimer: I have no direct knowledge this is true BUT, it SOUNDS like I do.

Now THIS is a dirty idle. The burning coolant and retarded timing just brought tears to one's eyes.



Is there a trophy for the dirtiest idle? For example also renting the truck out to the town as a Mosquito fogger? Maybe a low compression rig just before the turbo's light on for a sled pull can smoke better at idle. Not that I would run this on the street, but, I did rebuild the engine. Well only because it wouldn't start without a good snort of ether... https://www.turbodieselregister.com/threads/1992-6-5td-rescue.252971/

Yeah once and awhile I get told an IDI stinks by some asshat. I ask them to "put up or shut up" aka ask for $60,000 to buy me a new diesel pickup and offer the privilege of crushing the IDI I am driving.

Just ordered 2 with TX state. Allows for a mistake as I try to mount to flexible magnet.

EDIT: Wished I still owned one of my smokey old Rams.

$4.99 ea free shipping.

Cheers, Ron

For another couple bucks they will add the "Cummins" logo....

 

[Wiredawg]

Just messaged seller to ask if we can replace word diesel with Cummins Logo.

Thanks, Nice Cattch!

5 star vendor, already replied and taken care of 7.99 ea.

Cheers, Ron

Finally got it on the truck..

Anyone want to take bets on how long it takes for you to get a comment about that sticker positive or negative? I give it less than a month.

I need to get one for myself.

I received mine today! They are awesome! Of course living in one of the "Square" States (CO) it does not look that interesting!
