Charging RV Battery

Going to Smoky Mountains

My wife and I did a Florida turn last week on a short buying trip. 3,000 miles in 4 days. (I am getting to old for this)

One of our fuel stops was at the Flying J in Gulfport, Ms. ($127. 9) While fueling at the RV island a man pulled up with a 99/2500 quad cab Cummins. It had Alaska plates and a 5er hooked on the back with 2 bycycles hanging on the front of the truck. Since he was a fellow Cummins driver I thought I would be friendly and strike up a conversation.

The I TRIED TO BY-PASS THE CUSSING FILTER chat did not last more than a minute when he asked if I liked my truck. I told him that I loved it as it was my third one in 3 years. At that point he began to curse his truck, how much he hated it and what a POS it was... ... ... ... ... ... . and this went on and on and on. Then he started in on ALL Dodge Dealers and what rectal cavities they were... ... ... ... ... ... and that went on and on and on.

The fuel island was clearly marked: When finished fueling, pull your rig forward. There were two motorhomes behind him waiting to fuel. He just left his rig blocking the fuel island and walked on inside to do whatever. I guess there is one in every crowd.

A truck is an inanimate object. I know sometimes(a lot)we tend to think of our trucks as a living breathing thing... ... ... but it is not.

Words however are differant. When you continually curse something, powerful forces are set in motion. Be careful what you say, it might come true. No VooDoo... ... ... ... ... . just fact. The Alaska man certainly was reaping what he sowed.
 
I have had complaints about my truck. Mostly my own doing. When I fix the hunting toque converter problem, it will be squared away- then I can bomb some more. All said- It never left me stuck but once ( lift pump). And it runs around just fine. Only compaint is -I sometimes work the truck- It is now 4 years old and has scratches on the paint. How dare the truck not stay in showroom codition!!, the chains, junk and brush are supposed to be repelled by and not attracted to the unblemished paint! Guess I will have to buy a "pretty" truck and use this one for its intended purpose.
 
It is to bad that the guy was driving and had Alaskan plates on his truck. Most true Alaskan's are good people and wonderful people to be around. Alaska's population is a cross reference or mirror image of the lower 48 states. Hope fully for Alaska this guy was going back to where he came from.
 
Yeap

I have seen these people before. When you get to the bottom of it, you find out they are Ford people disguised as mild mannered Dodge boys. I had one guy go on and on about all the problems with Dodge, come to find out that he now drove a Ford for a Hotshot company and just got passed by three Dodge Cummins on the last hill. :D Including me... ..... :cool:
 
I forgot to mention that he was going to buy a FORD when he got home... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... I hope he and Mr. Ford will be very happy.
 
Oh Good, you guys hear that? there will be another good quality truck on the used market to get some young buck started up right... . IN A DODGE... . let the old coot have his dorf :D



reminds me of lunch today, some guy steps back in the door of the restaurant to acknowledge his buddies and apploogize for being rude and not saying goodbye. the whole time this idiot has three people standing outside waiting for his dumb butt to get out of the door.



some people just live in their own world :mad:
 
I have a good related story. As I was arriving at the end of the road to my elk hunting spot 6 miles in on 4wheel drive road, a guy ran out to me before I could even park the truck. He started cussing the place and how bad the hunting was and how his friends steered him to the wrong place, on and on? It was late afternoon and he was going to get out the next day. Next morning I had shot a 5x5 and was back in camp by 11 am. My buddy and this guy were bringing water from his camp to ours so he gets in our camp. I've got blood all over my clothes, bow hanging in the tree with broken bloody arrow. He sees but doesn't ask and I don't tell. Good riddance was what I was thinking.



My buddy took a 5x4 blackpowder the next week. That was a good hunt.
 
.......probably stolen plates.

I know that you can find people like that anywhere but I don't

think that he could have been from Wasilla.

Now thats not true, just because everything is bigger & better in Texas, sometimes the truth hurts. Bet you'd be a Texan if'n you could pass the residency test, oppps, you're from that tiny "other" state I see.
 
I get fuel at that Flying J and have meet some really nice Dodge owners there.

Hope he gets his Ford, Another old saying is,

People create there own problems.

the problem was he was a 24v owner, ... so am i. Those pumps are not even close to being as good as the rest of the motor. he probably had a stock motor and stock transmission, . . and stock just doesn't do it! I'm sure if he had a 24v with a p-pump or a 12v motor he'd be a little happier with dodge and cummins. Cummins really messed up putting that VP 44 on a good motor. It ain't cool bein' in the middle of Canada and Montana when u're VP 44 dies over and over cause of oxydized connectons.
