Attention: TDR Forum Junkies BIG problem here. This morning at 630 am, my wife came out to the truck and started knocking on it to wake me up. Well, my first thought was here comes breakfast, so I unlocked the door and let her in. Nope, no breakfast. She starts in on me telling me that "WE" have a problem and its to be addressed now! I turned down the cassette that I recorded of the CTD idling and said tell me about it. Well, she says it isn't natural for a full grown sane man to come home after work and sit by the exhaust pipe of a truck while its running, smelling the fumes and listening to the noise. She says I have this stupid grin on my face and it will cause brain damage. And now that I've practically moved into it, she says we have a major problem. She said Pizza Hut called and they will not deliver to an address that says dark blue Dodge truck with a bumper sticker that says OH,BABY!!YOU KNOW WHAT I LIKE!!! And cablevision also called and said they don't make a quick disconnect so I can wire in cable. (I called and gave them a piece of my mind for calling the home number instead of the cell). It went on and on, I don't really remember the rest because my mind drifted to comp boxes, transmission mods, cool emblems,etc. I dutifully say uh-huh every couple of seconds to keep her happy. SO she ends the conversation with the old, its gonna come down to me or the truck, you might have to make that decision if we don't work out this problem. My first thought was the old come back, "Sweetheart, I'll sure miss you. " but as she was sitting in the truck, common sense and immediate concerns for my personal safety kept my mouth shut. So, at that, she got out, shut the door, a bit too hard in my opinion, which made me mad. So, I thought I'll show her! I got out, went around opened the door and mini vacced out the little dirt particles her shoes dragged in and wiped her finger smudges off the door handle. So there!! I got back in the truck, pushed in the 2nd tape of the CTD where I'm constantly revving it up, but I began to think about what she had said, and it dawned on me she was absolutely and 100% right, we do have a problem. That is why I am airing this out to you guys. You've been in the TDR longer than me. If your wife had the problems my wife is having, how do I help her? I adapted very quickly to the TDR way of life but she is resisting. Psychologist? Psychiatrist? Can I get her some kind of self help on the internet? She is obviously struggling to cope and adapt to the TDR lifestyle and I want to help her as much as possible. Please help me before I lose her! Any assistance will be greatly appreciated. .
Thanks for the help. .
