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

[WadePatton]

... you can spot 7" stacks on big rigs a half-mile away.



... you smile every time you hear an ENGINE brake.



... you seriously eyeball the air horns on OTR trucks 'cuz you're thinking about how you'll run yours.



... when you pull out near big trucks, you lay down smoke as a matter of course--like you can't help it!:-laf

You feel it necessary to educate your coworkers on the value of torque when they start talking about hp. . especially since their vehicles have neglegable amounts of it

Amen there, Bro!



... and I might add "USEABLE torque" at that.



Torque that comes from an in-line 6 with a LONG (powerful) bore stroke as opposed to a v-8 configuration (PStroke) with wimpy little strokes that is constantly down shifting when it encounters a hill because it just doesn't have the llevos to stay in the game.

... If you have ever siphoned diesel out of the lawnmower so you can put it in the 4-wheeler...

Been there, done that! Hey, all work and no play is not fun!)Almost anyone can relate to that with gassers, but it takes a diehard "Dieselnut" to have the "toys" to do it with diesel.

1. The emissions test guy starts laughing as soon as you pull onto the rollers.

2. You look in a state police car and see a picture of your car taped to the dash.

3. Your mechanic names the new wing of his shop after you.

4. Your face looks like you are riding a NASA centrifuge when you drive the car.

5. There is no possible way to "sneak out" of your neighborhood at 6 am. (Or in most our cases "sneak in" would be more suitable)

Just a few more...

On the interstate you roll down the windows along side a 379 Pete just to see who's turbo's louder - or to listen to the harmony!



Your girlfriend knows more about diesels than all of your buddies. She says catches herself guessing what the colors of the air lines on big trucks are for and what type of engine they've got. She's perfect! You can carry on a conversation about diesels just as easy with her as you can anyone on the TDR.



You lose sleep every night because you can't stop thinking of what the BHAF will sound like compared to your K&N.



Before you head out on a long trip, you check the Flying J and Love's websites to find out who's got cheaper fuel



You find excuses to drive at night just to be able to see those chicken lights!



For the dually guys... You see the 3/4 tons driving down the road and chuckle to yourself every time



You take pictures of EVERYTHING you pull



I'll think of more...

everytime you see a training wheel equiped truck hauling that heavy load of fiberglass insulation or that massive trailer with jetski you sit back and laugh at the knob behind the wheel... [knowing sure enough a dorf ranger would be enough for that persons' needs, but they are over comcompensating for something :-laf]









just poking fun guys... being that i am getting a 3/4 ton truck and i don't see a need ever for me to have a truck with drw

..... you have three cummins in the family. And you know all the engine numbers by heart.

Today (no joke) the girl at the bank (drive-up) says that she is reminded of that song "Hear That Train a Coming" when I pull up.



When forced to use and "alpha-numeric" username the other day, I forgot all about my amateur callsign (W1ADE) and used "Cummins59".

 

[TnLRacing]

Your 11 year old daughter yells from the living room, dad there a dodge diesel coming down the road

Was it me?

..... your on vacation in the Bahamas, and you pay the 3. 99 a minute just to check the TDR
