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

New vase?! Man, that hurts!



If you must know - I put a 16cm² housing on Dad's truck... he was complaining that he could no longer street race ricers and other unsuspecting victims due to high EGT's.



Put this in your pipe and smoke it: The diesel Beetle got 45mpg down to PA and back to MA... . cruise set to at least 75mph, A/C keeping us cool.

Good for you! You are a good son there MTY.



And I don' t think I could get 45mpg if I could get it to cruise down hill the whole way on three cylinders You gonna be at the dyno?

I'll be there... not sure if I'll bring the German or American diesel, though.

haven't seen the truck in a while, plus you can always add to fogging, however, i would like to know the #'s on roller skate

The rollerskate does okay for itself. It sure isn't 90hp anymore... . BUT, my most recent tank indicated 48mpg.



The truck is easily over 3-bills... . maybe more if I get my act together before the dyno. I just finished my welding table last night - crude, yet effective. Now I can work on the 'other' parts I have been wanting to make.

Hey I thought this thread was about dieselheads? What has a welding table got to do with being a dieselhead?

 

[HoleshotHolset]

When I'm done with the parts that need weldin', you'll see.

Frank and Beans!!! STACKS ON A BUG!!

 

[HoleshotHolset]

That isn't what I had in mind for this round of fabrication.....

 

[f.boyle]

I'm welding my new stack protector flat bed! I think a welding table is a fair Diesel head post!! But... .....



you know your a diesel head when... ... you see a nice truck for sale on the side of the road but when you get close enough to tell its a gasser you get back on the hammer.

You know you are going to around alot of Diesel heads when you are planning to attend Thunder in Muncie and the "popular" hotel has been full booked for that weekend for around 2 months!

And it ain't no small hotel either!

You know you are a deisel head when your pool dealer sells you an automatic pool vaccume that looks like a giant bug, but the dealer tells you that you are required to name the bug before he gives it to you.



I said thats easy we can name the bug what I originaly wanted to name our daughter (wife nixed it for the daughter): Diesel!

Now I can tell people I let Diesel clean our swimming pool!

You know yer a diesel head when a fresh issue of Playboy and TDR issue 40 show up in the mail on the same day and you crack open the TDR first!!!



I just caught myself doing this

 

[HoleshotHolset]

..... you're at work and you take your bagged lunch from home and eat it in the bed of your turbo diesel instead of using a picnic table or lame cafeteria.



I did this today - great weather!

[CrewCabDiesel]

Wow, this is too close to home

You know you are a diesel head when,

1. You have more money in your CTD than your house.

2. Strangers come up and ask you diesel questions while you are at the Farm & fleet store, and you know the answers.

3. You drive a Dodge CTD Quad Cab 3500 4X4 on service calls to fix cash registers.

4. Your wife can here your truck far enough away to have dinner on the table by the time you get home.

5. You sat and read all 18 pages of this tread, and can relate to it.

6. Your kids know more about your truck, than the dealer .

7. Your truck has more power than a Vette and gets better mileage than the wife's minivan.

8. You can quote TSBs to the dealer.

9. You are always watching for that idiot trying to pass on the right side.

10. You check Ebay auctions daily for deals on Cummins stuff.

I wasn't due to drop the kids off at the pool till the next day, so I was onto the PB by then. I don't get much readin' done in there anymore cuz somebody on here said I'd get hemi's from spending too much time sitting.

You know you a diesel head when...

... . the girlfriend has to get out and order McDonalds from inside so you don't have to shut off the CTD!!!Oo.



Mine really does this and I think it's the geatest.

1You throw a TDR rally at yer house and get some help from some real diesel heads to put in yer new bombs and you cant wait to change your sig and show it off.



2(I noticed this one last night):

Changing the oil you feel is quality time with the CTD.



3 You think that keeping this thread alive is yer good deed for the day.
