Real Trucks Rattle and Got Diesel

[DavidC]

I have some of these classic T-Shirts that are showing their age. Figured it was getting time to re-stock. To my dismay they are no longer available so I emailed Geno's to get the scoop. End of an era I guess.

I noticed some of my "Real Trucks Rattle" and "Got Diesel" shirts may be
getting on the Used side. I do not see them on the site anymore. Those to me
are almost an icon for 12 and 24 valve owners. Are they coming back or gone
forever ?.

David, thank you for your email. Right now, we are out of stock on both
designs. The Real Truck Rattle shirts are probably gone forever. But the
Got Diesel? may be resurrected.

I believe they both deserve a resurrection, especially the Real Trucks Rattle!

I agree, that one was always my favorite. Maybe if they get enough requests they will see the light

I sure hope the demise was not associated with something like that. I get so tired of the pandering to people/groups that say they are offended etc. as they are usually a minority.

If they are single color and would share the art work or post a pic if any there is a nice little print shop that employs special needs folks I would be all in on throwing them some work.

I have that bumper sticker on my tool box from a few years back.

Or atleast get some pricing on it. Thats pretty easy to do.

I still enjoy wearing my Geno's tee. I have one nice collection. High quality shirts.

There is such a shop near me, and they do nice work.

If Geno’s needs a print source, here’s one to try.

My fav tee is the Evolution shirt with the different grilles stacked. By this time, now that there’s an decent evolution of engines, another tee is in order?
Of course add my idea to the Real Trucks Rattle shirt, and Got Diesel shirts. They should be in stock!

My uncle refused to buy a 2 gen for his business because they rattle, and went with a Ford 6.0 instead. After he went through the trouble wringer with that, and after he saw mine, he bought an 06 and I think he’s still using it for business.

Some I hear are close, what's up with that, bad injectors ?. Us vintage guy's rattle and love it.

My 06 isn't as noisy as my 12V was, but the dog is always waiting at the door when I come home.

I equate it to the sound of the occasional fighter jet out of Luke AFB flying over the house, that's the "sound of victory". Same with the truck, it's noisy and does it's job exceptionally well.

My old block where my first house was HATED- I say HAAAATED my ‘92!
One guy used to throw garbage pails in the street if I came down the block on a nice Saturday afternoon. He said it was a garbage truck.
Honestly, I was heavily let down the first time I heard a common rail engine.

Kinda takes me back to solid lifters and glass packs or the whine of a blower. If I wanted quiet I would have bought a gas engine.

I think I would have been overcome with the desire to flatten said garbage cans if one rolled out in front of me

Roxy ( the Shepherd) hears that Cummins start up and goes completely nuts. She can't get to the truck fast enough, you would think it's a dinner bell with steak on the menu.

They got no sympathy from me. That was my primary mode, and I did round the clock shift work back then. That truck ran 24/6 lol.

We do that too- minus the blower
A different tune though!
