My Wife Thinks I Have a Disease?

[SLVRBLT]

I ordered the new Cummins about a year ago. After I got it, I was OK for a while, then I started getting funny feelings. Didn't know what was wrong until I put a set of stainless tube steps on it. My excuse was to make it easier for the "little woman" to get in and out of the beast. After the steps were on, the queazy feelings went away for awhile.



Then I started getting that unique feeling again and had to have a Rhino liner installed to make it go away. A few months later I had a vicious relapse and had to install a 90 gal. fuel tank/tool box combo to ease my pain. Then came a straight exhaust and a radar detector to cool my feverish brow!



Now I've got a 5er hitch in it, new brake controller, RV plug in the bed, and getting ready to order a K&N filter, exhaust brake with gear shift switch, autometer guages, and pillar mount. Whatever this strange malady is, I have a bad case!



She thinks that somewhere, somehow, there is a vaccination or cure for this unusual disease? I don't know if there is, but I'm kind of like a "junkie", I'm not sure I want to be cured? It's like having an itch that feels really good to scratch!



From reading many posts on this site, I suspect that there are others out there that have contracted this same virus, germ, bug, or whatever it is. Those of you that have had it longer than a year, does it ever get better, or does it progress until you can't find room for more goodies or can't afford any more?



Hopelessly afflicted in Oklahoma,

One thing about our trucks... they're worth spending money on. We all seem to get so much pleasure driving 'em that anything we do to 'em makes it even more pleasurable. BOMB on boys!

There is no hope or cure. Some of these guys go so far as to BOMB a truck so much they have to get a second truck and start all over, of course those guys are real hard core BOMBERS not like me, I can quit any time I want. Quit laughing.

Well, according to my wife, I've spent WAY too much $$ on my old truck and could have bought a new one by now. But---She continues to humor me as she knows that if I get a new one that I'd be spending the same amount of BOMB dollars.

Dave, there is a cure. It's called the LOTTERY>

Hi,....my name's rich m, and i'm a BOMBaholic...

it started with just a set of nerf bars and a bedliner.....

that same day, i got a little carried away and went with the diamond-plate aluminum bed-rail caps and i thought i was done... .

next, i found the old Dieselram.com website... . but i didn't inhale...

i thought to myself... . had K-N's on others, and there's one that fits..... it's gonna be OK... then it hit me... more air in means more air out... . 4" open exhaust... then I met Scott1 and got his invention... Psychotty!..... and I didn't even have guages, and was highly unlikely to have an EGT problem... . but prevention is important... ... . ahhhhhhhh... then, wow, now i can add more heat! injectors and a BD #5 plate... . somewhere along the line, i added a Primeloc, discovered that "starwheel" everyone likes turning, got Ricksons, Mag-Hytec, Amsoil from the flexplate back... ... ... . I've even chained the spare tire back towards the bumper, because of the J-Lo effect! ... . need a new TC so I can go on to the HARD stuff, but I should avoid a new TC so I can resist the Hard stuff... . 300HP(crank estimate based on 254RWHP) is plenty for anyone! a 10-1 weight to torque ratio is right in there with some of the 60's vintage gas muscle cars! that's plenty!



where's that IRS check? Where's that Reunel catalog? I neeed a new bumper and a new TC!... then i'll need a plate-slide, more injector and a bigger turbo! ... ... hx40!?!? nonononono, better not! 350HP will be just right... . @crank or wheels? wheels, of course!... who wants to just do 50more theoretical at a crank that no one ever sees... ...





the raving continues in privacy... ...

You guys are too funny!

My wife thinks I'm nuts too. At least until I point out she's every bit as bad as I am when she goes shopping. She always comes home with stuff that we don't need just becuase it was on sale!



Oh yeah hun, we need that 9th lamp that looks like a dolphin! I'll go put the old dolphin away!



Geez, like I DON'T need more air intake?

Hello



This is Doc's wife



I happened to read the comments here, over Doc's shoulder, and I've decided to pull the plug on Doc's computer usage. From now on, he has to spend more time with me and less on the computer. You guys make a big joke out of ignoring your wives and emotionally abusing them, but I for one, am not going to stand for it.
