I just took a minute and had typed a "no" respones when all of a sudden I remembered certain words that have turned blue in some posts. Like u-joint or electric locker.

Sure enough after searching "Viglink" in Wikipedia it has become clear to me.

So Yes, I am geting "Viglinked" as well.

It should only convert words to links for unregistered users. The settings are a little convoluted because the same settings we use to include user groups can be used for excluding them. I think I have it resolved. Let me know. Now, for existing links, say a link to eBay, Viglink is turned on for all users. This simply gives TDR an affiliate credit for the link, same with Amazon links, etc. You can opt out of this here: https://www.turbodieselregister.com/profile.php?do=editprofile

So.....does TDR get paid if we click on the links? If so, I'm in for a few extra clicks through out the day.......

No, it does not earn TDR anything for clicks. When you click it takes you to that site and page like it normally would. The only difference is that site makes a note of where you came from (TDR, through Viglink). If you were to buy something, then TDR would get an affiliate credit (a few pennies for most things). Also it doesn't change your price on any of these sites, there is no way Robin would approve of it if that were the case.
