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

[LSchulz]

Or... ... Everytime a diesel drives past your house your dogs hop up and run to the door thinking its you!

Or the dog can tell the difference between my truck, my dad's '06, and the neighbor's Duramax (he only cares when my dad comes home).

When your friend pulls out of the toll both and coments how your truck screems and you tell him "Thank-You"



When you pass the same guy on the right and he lets you know that at 70 your truck is louder than the one he is driving.



AH who are we kidding, anything is said about our truck being loud/shaking/rattling and we take it as a compliment!:-laf

When you consider it an honor and a privilege to happen to be near a 2 mW diesel generator set on it's first startup in service.

spend hours and hours on tdr researching things I would'nt have to. Need I say more... .

The sound of a diesel engine (not a PSD or D-Max) idling is more relaxing then the sound of waves or a thunderstorm...

... the thought of someone UPPING their boost to 15psi is truly laughable!

when your t-shirt drawer looks like a DHRA sponsorship catalog !

You know your a diesel head when you can't get your friends SC mustang over 9 pounds of boost no matter how hard you try and bring it back from the ride and tell him something is wrong with it. :-laf

brings back the memories

My daughter and I would play a game between races at track meets. We would lean back against the fencing at the top of the bleachers. When the sound of a Diesel in the parking lot caught our attention,we would take turns identifying ''power stroke--Cummins 12 valve--school bus with cummins--Cummins with 24 valve, and Duramax'' When the source was identified, the other person would ID the accuracy of the comment.

Brings a tear to my eye yet. BTW,she made it all the way to state for three years in five events and was voted ''runner of the year'' at university.

When your wife says "Yuck whats that smell?" and you sniff and say "Smells like money to me", or "What do you think of my new cologne?" or "What smell?"

I alway'sfind myself checking my rear bumper for soot buildup, and get mad when I have to wash my truck! I'm also guilty of rolling my window down at intersection's and under bridges to here my truck or other's. Sometime's I tell passenger's to shut up for a second!:-laf

today at the community college, in my public speaking class i was suposed to give a 3-5 minute speach on the difference between my "public self" and my "privat self". . hahah yea a bunch of crap right? thats what i thought. but we were supposed to bring in an object or visual aid to base our speech around.



most kids brought in poster boards with pictures of things they like to do, and to display the "private self" they would put things that they didnt want anyone to know, one the back side of the board or somthing... . you get the point.



my visual aid... ... . a 4qt jug of Rottela-T 15W-40. :-laf well i used it as the fact that as the jug contains what the label states, i am what i say i am and have no supprises. :-laf it actually would have been pretty good, except for the fact that it was supposed to be 3-5 mintues. . mine was like 40 seconds

but the thing that threw it over the top, the teacher wanted us to leave our items in the corner for her to take home to complete the grading process. as i walked back to my desk i asked her in all seriousnes, "do i have to give you my jug of oil or can i keep it? its full an i paid for it hopin to put it in my truck... . " she told me to keep "my jug of oil"..... hmmm ill be anxious to see what this grade is hahhha:-laf oh well whats a guy to do?

You offer to move that Honda illegally blocking your neighbor's driveway by dragging it down the street with your Dodge CTD, and you are hoping he'll say yes. And when he says he'll just call a tow truck you are bummed out for hours.

When you put "antique" plates on the truck you bought new and have driven daily since!

 

[dresslered]

When you now get the same sensation smelling your truck warm up in the morning in lieu of that double espresso?
