St. Patrick's Day Gauge Contest (Autometer) - Ends: March 31, 2011

[surfbeetle]

I have to warn ya,

Don't come to California

The state likes to rob

I'm furloughed for days from my job

'Cause of this loss of wages

I can't buy gauges

 

[AMink]

My upcoming wish and desire
Is to tow down to Valley of Fire
With gauges in sight
The engine runs right
Even though I might melt a tire.

 

[Grizzly]

The Man from Laramie may ride a horse in the movies, but in real life, he rides in a Dodge Truck with a Cummins Turbo Diesel.



It's not an SLT.



It's not an ST.



It's a Laramie.

 

[Allnew2Me]

A contest like this is a blast

The entries I hope will be vast

I need pressure and boost,

On my dash shall they roost

Unless of course, I come in last!

 

[Missouri Mule]

My FreightLiner

couldn't be finer

Its not that fast

but it wouldn't be last

It's diriver is not nuts

He just knows shortcuts

 

[BigDaneDiesel]

I owe, I owe

Its off to work I go

I wish I could afford a set of gauges

I don't no when its safe to shut my mighty cummins down.

All I can do now is count out load and hope the TURBO DOESNT BRAKE DOWN!



or



I owe I owe

Its off to work I go

A set of gauges sure would be nice

because a new turbo would fetch a big price!

 

[AMink]

A Cummins without gauges is silly
The engine might start sounding shrilly
Like Reid and Feinstein
It could start to whine
And you'll be stuck with the bill-y.

 

[Allnew2Me]

In reading these lines so inspired

Poor Robin must surely be tired

But upon her decree

I'd be so filled with glee

For my membership has just expired

 

[Allnew2Me]

Would I like a new set, of gauges? You bet!

But a month is a long time to wait

My poor truck’s running hot

‘Cause my gauges are shot

So pick me and let’s end this debate! :-laf

 

[BrianFL]

My Dodge is my Toy
gauges would make it a Joy
to tow down the road
not worrying about the load
knowing I she wont be destroyed

 

[EDankievitch]

OOps There was this guy who lived far from Nantucket who did not read which thread he was writing his limeric when he posted it

on the wrong contest he did with no way to relocate it

and here we are with out it... .

Thanks to TDR and GENO's for keepin us all informed and our shops full of them o parts

 

[Gumpertz]

When driving, I see Miles Per Hour
RPMs, MPGs I devour
If I could only see Boost,
EGTs when produced
would bring smiles because Knowledge is Power!

 

[Batphreak]

My Cummins came wrapped in a Ram made by Dodge.
Company founded by Horace and John.
At first they made parts for Ford.
That turned out to be quite a bore.
Now look who's truck is king at the Lodge!

 

[CBari]

There once was a man from Nantucket

Whose truck was so long

He couldn't park it.



He traded if for a might equipped

Dodge with the Cummins



Which runs so well

He doesn't need to park it

 

[RobertHiltz]

If you give me the gauges

I will be thankful for ages.

 

[Allnew2Me]

Twas a young man fairly bored

So he knelt down and asked of the Lord

“I need a truck that can pull

That won't make me the fool”

Then the sky boomed “Don't buy a Ford!”

 

[Grizzly]

I ordered my Dodge with a Cummins,

I'm so proud of both, the Dodge and the Cummins,

You can't beat the Inline 6 Turbo Diesel,

Not with a Ford and a Chevy,

With their V8 Diesel.







That's my story and I'm sticking to it, grizzly!

 

[Allnew2Me]

There once lived the desire to see

If fuel and air might agree

To play nice together

In chemical tether

And not cause high EGT

 

[Allnew2Me]

I would like to ask if perchance

You might send me a gauge in advance?

For while driving I felt it

My turbo just melted

And now I must go change my pants!

 

[AWeiman]

he saw from behind coming up that long hill

a beat up ol dodge with no fancy frills

he laughed to himself, he'll never catch me

and turned his duramax chip up to level 3

onward he went with his foot to the floor

maybe i'll try it on level 4

upward he went with the dodge closing fast

worried if his duramax was gonna last

he looked to his left as the top grew near

only to see the TDR sticker stamped on that truck's rear

over the top and down they go

the duramax raced on trying to put on a show

but oh the white smoke coming out from sides

would have he to ask that beat up ol dodge for a ride?

over he pulled to the side of road

cause his bullet proof allison had gone into limp mode

how did that truck make it over just fine?

he asked himself as he crawled inside

how can this dodge with 500k on the clock

still run strong without a single knock

then he saw why on the dash of that dodge

3 autometer gauges from geno's garage. :-laf
