Funniest thing said by passengers...

[schu777]

What is the funniest thing you have ever heard from passengers that have never riden in your truck?



Mine was several months ago when a co-worker and I went to go get some lunch. As we rounded a the corner, he was looking all around and wondering where the police car was... it was the wistle from the turbo that he was hearing! Guess pulling out the silencer ring does increase the noise!

A guy wants to put all the same guages I have in his 82 chevy half ton pickup. He was curious about how much boost his 350 engine produces.

At the RMTDR wrench day this past weekend, we pulled a couple of silencer rings when one guy quiped, "I wonder if my wife will ask what that (new) whining sounds is?" I told him you had better bite your lip!

 

[LSMITH]

A guy I used to work with said "this thing sounds like a school bus" as I was pulling out onto the road. There was no traffic so I drilled it, spun a full donut with smoke so thick you could not see and then ripped off down the road running it up to about 115. He was white as he could be, eyes like saucers, and I asked him "you ever seen a $@%&ing school bus do THAT?!?!?!?!"



He has a newly found respect for diesels... ... ... ... .

I had invited my girlfriend at the time, ex girlfriend now, to go eat lunch with me, so I went to meet up with her. when I pulled out of the parking lot, onto the access road, I nailed it, and took off, leaving huge nasty clouds of unburned #2. She got the biggest eyes, smiled, grabbed my arm, dug her nails into it, and said "holy S--t!! this truck is NOT supposed to go this fast!!" I just replied, "Yeah, I know. Aint it cool?!" After that, she was begging me to blow smoke on people! Not a problem with that!

"Oooh! Look at that Ford Explorer down there!"



"... it sounds like you have a jet engine under the hood"



With the exhaust brake on: "Why does your truck sound like that?"

"I don't know... it's been like that since I bought it"



A kid from beside the road shouting, "Your truck sounds like my school bus!"

 

[Fireman Dave]

After I idled up next to a friend who was walking to offer him a ride - "I thought that was a tractor coming up behind me".

If I leave the e brake on at a stop, people keep telling me I have an air leak. Of course we have to yell back and forth a few times before anything gets heard.

 

[WadePatton]

The Silly Question I get asked the most is "Why do you need all that power?"



I inform them that it is completely legitimate and necessary as I am always HAULING ARSE! Oo.



Comment I got today, when demonstrating what the DD3's had added, was "Okay, I'm scared already. " She said it a couple of times. :-laf

 

[ToolManTimTaylor]

" You gotta be #%***k'n Kidding me"



"Dude are all diesels Like This?"





"This just might beat my Honda ... . Bad" (That last one Killed me One nite from Dunkin Donuts in bridgeport I took my budds "Kid Brother" out who is a RiceHead and he has big $$$ in his GHEY Type R civic ... . Which is blown and whatnot)

Absolutely NO ONE in my office understands the whole "truck" thing.



One guy, who drives an '01 T-Bird (that leaks like crazy in the rain) hopped in to ride to lunch. As I started it up, he says, "Oh I see you opted for the 'Tractor Package. '" Uh, yes I did.



Co-Worker who sits next to me piped up today and asked me "How in the world do you get that thing through traffic?" To which I answered, "Any way I want to. "



Same co-worker piped up the other day when I was listening to a couple of 5" exhaust wav's, "Did someone start up a truck in here?" He doesn't get it, and it's alright, he drives an Exterra.



Then there's the wife... "Why is it that you want to 'fix' a perfectly good truck?" And my favorite, "It's only transportation. " My reply... "Yes dear. "

Is that an "inboard" or "outboard"?



That guy's light behind us just came on from all that smoke.

 

[fishjack1]

Girlfriend "I sure feel safe riding in this big truck"



Friend after my bombs and transmission "This thing went from scooter to a freaking Ninga"



Another friend after he rode with me and I asked if he wanted to race me with his gasser "Hell No. "

 

[ndurbin]

When the rings in my turbo went south I had a cop pull me over and ask if I was trying to kill all the mosquitos.

 

[LSMITH]

LOL@automatic headlights turning on from a smoke bath. I have set a few off myself:-laf :-laf :-laf

 

[JohnE]

No way!

I cannot believe somone hasn't heard the classic line "You got a Hemi?".



I took our former Cummins OEM Engineer and on-site Cummins tech out for a test spin. I got only got white eyed looks as the boost and EGTs climbed as well as the tach (past redline) and speedo.



The best is when I tell people all this and 22 mpg on the highway. "No I TRIED TO BY-PASS THE CUSSING FILTER" is the usual response.
