Competition How to tell you're dieselholic

[Nightram]

You can tell the difference between a Cummins, Pwerstroke, and Duramax when they start in a parking lot!

How about in a tunnel or underpass you fuel it to hear how the straight pipe and turbo whine is amplified to almost deafing proporions!



I am 100% addicted, and I agree, you only have a problem if you admit it. Keep on truckin dieselheads!

When you go to a family function or event with friends that don't have diesel's, and you have nothing to talk to them about! That's when you know your a diesel nut!

This is perfect! I had that opportunity Friday night. "So what have you been up to for the past year?" Oh not much, working on the truck... Now back to my garlic bread.

What if you are building a complete race truck, and the woman at home doesn't even know you ever bought another truck. . haha. . I'm gonna catch a lot of hell... I'm actually serious. . She's hopefully not gonna find out until I bring it home after the Bowling Green race...

 

[CrosbyJ]

being an first gen. owner,you pull into the dealership and they have the nerve to ask if you want to trade it in,comment if you got anything as good i'll buy it. 2. the look on high society people at red lights roll up windows its worth the looks

 

[wildmanben]

How bout after you work on the truck your family says their clothes smell like diesel.



Oh and the rolling down the windows to hear your exhaust no matter the temp, thats me.

 

[TGibbs]

when every trailer you own has a permanent smoke mark on the right front side . . .



when your bumper has that same sort of mark that shines to black specs when polished . . . .

 

[MarkMiller]

You know yor an addict when:



You get to close to your exhaust while working on your rig and brush the tip with your hand and now it's covered in soot. And then you sniff your hand

 

[JStrosnider]

Almost all of those are me!!! I love watching the tailgaters swerve to miss the smoke!!!! And underpasses that's a MUST!!! :-laf :-laf :-laf

How bout when you go to a family function and your told that you were heard coming down the road from 3 miles away?!?!?!? Oo.

I can relate to most all of the above, but I never thought my wife would convert.



The other day I was telling her about my plans to buy one of the new Mega CAB DRWs. She totally threw me off when she said "Why don't we trade in my car. " For reference her vehicle is an 06 Yukon XL Denali. It's the pimped out soccer mom mobile with all the goodies that she had to have.



It gets worse...



I told her it will be a six speed. She said "You'll have to teach me"



So now what? I can't afford his and hers duallys!

my GF wants a CTD, but she only likes the 3rd gens. I said I would guy her an old 2nd gen truck to drive around, but that's about all I could afford.



I would mind her driving a rattly 12 valve, that' be cool Just something about a 5'0" girl in a big old diesel
