Jet engine

My wife doesn't ride in my truck much as it's my work truck, so the other day she's in it for a short hop and ask why it sounds like a jet engine now. DW

While under a hard acceleration up a grade I heard," Holy $H... t, Houston we have lift off!!!:--)

Just what happened

Stopped at a mall in Scottsdale AZ the other morning. When I started my truck I set off the alarms on the Lexus and the MB on either side of me. This seemed like such a good idea that I drove slowly around the whole parking lot goosing the throttle every few feet and before I got outta there I had set off a total of (7) yes seven alarms. This is in a covered parking garage and the place echoes like mad. This garage has security guys ridding around in golf carts and those boys were running around like ants. I didn’t hang around to see the final out come of it all. The clouds of smoke I’ed left inside the garage didn’t help much either. :{ Old men are just little boys in big toys!Oo. Oo. Oo.

Dangerous!

My son's response while driving my ctd for the first time after I installed DDII's--"This thing is dangerous!!"

A friend of mine that doesn't know crap about diesel and used to drive a PSD ( he now drives an 03 CTD HO 48re). We were pulling his travel trailer with my 01. He is of course running his trap about PS this and PS that and as we start up the on ramp to the interstate He looks over at me and says in a smart a$$, seriuos tone,



"What's wrong with this thing? It sounds like a 6 cylinder".



ME: No, s%$t Sherlock it is a 6 cylinder!!



HIM: Oh, it is?



ME: You didn't know my motor is way smaller and will still out pull your wonderful PS.



HIM: SILENCE the rest of the trip, at least about his PSD!

From my Wife after letting her take the truck on a afternoon trip, I ask,'so did you get on it'? She says with a big grin,'Why of course, you can't help but get on it'!!!!

Last night, as I'm overtaking a particularly loud and accelerating stoutly PSD, GF says "He's got gauges!".



So I dusted him. Too bad I was driving GF's car.

 

[BV]

Cruising up to Detroit Lake with the camper and boat with good buddy.



Him "So what gear are you in?"



Me "Ah - Fifth. Why?"



Him "Just curious because I can't run up here this fast in 4th. No wonder you like this stinky diesel"



Me "Yep - Plenty of go and good mileage to boot"



Him "Can I drive?"



Me "You sure can when we go over to Wickiup Reservoir in June. That way I can drink the beer "

it wasn't a passenger, but my neighbors think my truck is too loud. Had one guy get very upset that I cranked my truck up in the afternoon and disturbed him. Another one wasn't even man enough to talk to me about it himself. . he called the landlord and cried to him about it.

That just made me think :-laf



Working @ Wally Hell we're trained to look at the address's on the check's. Well anytime I catch a address near me I always ask them about it, or mention "I drive past your house twice everyday"



Well this one time I told this lady told me which house was her's and I was like "oh yeah, I've seen that nice Pete in your driveway I wanted to stop and check out the stacks b/c I'm planning on set for my white Dodge diesel"



her response:



"Oh your the one that I think is the bus in the mornings when I'm yelling at the kids" :-laf :-laf :-laf

Oh yeah, I got one of those neighbor things myself.



I had never met the high school senior who lives 1/4 mile down the road until the other day when she was riding with my other neighbor to go shopping.



As I was introduced, I said "Yeah, I'm the one with the noisey truck. " and she said "Yep, everybody says 'Here comes Wade'"



I'm louder than the school bus. :-laf

If I could get some 6" Miters cheap I might consider it.



Otherwise this go around (I've had miters & turnouts) I'm going with what I've wanted since the begining Bull Haulers!

On the phone with a guy who owns a 350 hp Saleen, I mentioned that I wanted to modify my truck a little.



The first thing he said was, "Don't put a turbo on it. "

"It's a Cummins turbo diesel," I say, "It came with a turbo. "



Next he tells me that I should, "Be careful with injectors, or you'll run out of fuel pump to feed them. "

I state, "I have common rail injection and my compression ratio is 18:1"

He says,"That sounds very high. You might have problems with that. "

I said, "It's a diesel. "



I closed the conversation by telling him, "You might know gas engines, but you don't know ***** about diesels. "

His wife tells me I am no longer allowed to talk with him about vehicles. I believe he ranted for hours.

He sounds more like the typical SBC owner- you know "My Chevy 327 runs low 9`s & gets 43 miles per gallon & blows clean on a sniffer. "
