Attention: TDR Forum Junkies This will be long, but it was so much fun. Anyone looking at any of my posts will know I have been working on my truck quite a bit lately. Not only the work I have done to the pump and turbo, but I completely rebuilt the transmission, put in a new clutch and put new bearings in the rear end. I've gotten really tired of working on it if you know what i mean.
On my way back to the office from lunch today, I stop at a light where there is about 1/8 mile stretch in front of me before the left lane ends and 4 lanes become 2. I'm in the right lane and low and behold a new Chevrolet SS pickup pulls up on my left. I know his intentions are to jump in front and cut me off. I figure I'm getting my butt handed to me, but being the competetive type I am, I just can't let him by. I figure I'll get an A for effort.
This shouldn't have been close. The Chevy is a 345 HP 1/2 ton truck that should weigh considerably less than the 4wd Cummins.
I dusted him big time. We left the light at the same time and I pulled on him in every gear. When I top out 4th gear, I let off as we are nearing the end of his lane. I figure he'll slow down and get over, but NOOOOOO. He tries to come on by even after he has run out of lane. I floor it in 5th and he never gets past the door. He finally lets off when he realizes he has no chance.
I think I may actually wash the truck this weekend.
