You know you are a diesel head when....

When you spend 5 minutes carefully rewinding/replaying/pausing a recent Allstate commercial to see if the 1st generation Dodge that drops a muffler at the end of the commercial is Cummins-equipped.

Dodge made a truck before 1994?!



^ ... poking fun at the 1st Gen guys that often have to be reminded that Dodge did make a truck after 1993.

You are jealous that he can use veggie oil in his truck and you can't.



Right Cliff???

2nd Gen 12-valves with P-7100's can run veggie oil...

Maybe a few new ones: you love shutting down a warm truck in a busy parking lot to hear the loud squeak and chirp, and all the weird looks; you so badly want to get home from work to drive your truck, you actually want to vomit. you take better care, detailing and cleaning, armor-all-ing the rubber and plastic parts of the motor than you do the exterior. it isnt out of the question to wear an earplug in the right ear on a long trip to lessen the headache from the drone/turbo whistle whine. Enjoy pulling up to the K1 pump, and pump away, just to see the looks you get from "uneducated" drivers. Bring up in general conversation about how you're looking for waste motor oil, to lessen costs, and "help the environment". Finally: anyone who has never rolled down their windows in a tunnel or near a wall, angled their mirror to see smoke, or rolled their window down as they see a 2500 or 3500 coming to hear the motor, only to be dissapointed when it is a stupid HEMI is FLAT OUT lying.

When the d-max behind you in a tunnel is flashing his lights at you becasue you have the brake and fuel pedals on the floor.

When you wake up in a cold sweat remembering in your dream that you traded in your CTD for a Ford gasser.

Then as your look around your room you realize that you are 10,000 miles away but you look at your keys to make sure that the ram head is on there anyway

 

[Signal73]

When your on the highway driving a gasser, with your family in it, and your Father comments negatively about the diesel in front of us stinkin' up the air, and you reply with a smile on your face "yeah smokin' pretty good huh"

 

[$crap Iron]

You see a guy with an "un-bombed", mufflered CTD and feel the need to enlighten them.



You look for a TDR sticker on every Ram CTD you pass.

That is absolutely hilarious... I have owned my CTD for a few months now and I am addicted to looking back at every passing Dodge for the TDR STICKER in the rear window.

 

[DZink24]

You covet thy neighbors'... ... 5er', car hauler, goose, dump trailer, travel trailer, ect. , and want to hook up to it, "just to see how she pulls"

When I go to a diesel update class (I'm a Dodge tech) and the instructor asks what's the latest thing I've done to my truck.

 

[rbattelle]

. . . When you join the TDR and your very first post is to this thread.

. . . When your neighbor brings home a 2400 lb pallet load of rock in a 1/2 ton Ford and you seriously consider running out and seeing how much (or how little) your own suspension would compress under the same load.
