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

[onestackdram]

Wade make the run from Asheville NC to Pigeon Forge on the (I think it was called) the Briley Parkway with a 36' 5th wheel... . My brake has never had so much work... LOL... .



Sorry back to the diesel head... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... .....

I named my dog Diesel... does that count?

 

[Wheaties]

Sure it does! For you and three of my friends who have dogs named Diesel

I bought an automatic pool vacuum last year, just hook up the hose and toss it in. The thing wanders around the bottom of the pool for a couple of hours while I sit back with a beer and watch it. It looks like a giant beetle with antennas. The unit is called a water bug.



How does this qualify as diesel head you ask?







Well... ... The guy at the pool store said I can't take it out of the store unless I give it a name. He requires all of his customers to name their pool bugs. First name that came to mind was the name my Wife would't let me call our baby daughter DIESEL.



So when people ask me what I use to keep the pool so clean... ... ... . I tell em DIESEL!!!!



Gets lots of horrified looks and responses until I tell them its the vacuums name.

THis applies to us more broke 1st Genners

-When you spend a half hour at the local Freightliner dealer trying to "redesign and upgrade" a $2 part you dont want to pay $30 for from Cummins or $60 from Dodge.

- When the guys behind the counter at aforementioned dealer roll their eyes and run and hide when they see/ hear you pull up, wondering what you want THIS time.

- Guys at work ask on Monday "what'd you do to it THIS weekend?"

- You hack, gag, and cough when a gasser running too rich passes by because it just dont smell right.

You've changed the "From" field in your email at work to read "Dieselhead" when it shows up in other people's inbox.

You know when you're a Dieselhead when...

... You talk about Diesels at home so much that your Mom now wants one(Guilty!)



... You look for a 4" or 5" exhaust and guages on the A-Pillar on EVERY Diesel pickup that drives by, no matter what brand it is(I do this every day)



... You see Diesel pickups in the KMart parking lot with said exhausts and guages and stop the driver to talk to them about their mods and you tell them about the TDR and other Diesel related websites(I do this at least twice a week)



... You sigh in disgust when people tell you that they are happy with their STOCK truck(This happens alot)



... You enjoy the look on peoples faces when you tell them "I love the smell of Diesel exhaust in the morning"(Happened this morning on the way to school)



... You crack up laughing on the local Transit bus when a Diesel pickup that has a "Banks Power" sticker on it pulls up beside the bus at a stoplight(happened yesterday)

 

[WadePatton]

When your Mom drives a CTD, your Sister drives a CTD, you've got your own CTD, AND you took over your Dad's CTD to make a PULLER!



And you drove a friend 700 miles (one way) to get his.

And your girlfriend wants one too.

 

[rbattelle]

You name your first born son "Rudolf".

 

[BCook1]

TDR head

When you leave for a couple of hours and when you come back, your hotmail account is over the memory limit from TDR post notices.

 

[ani17uk]

... ... . when you look at this site more than two times a day

 

[kstehnacs]

When your buddy's wife anwers the door and says "oh, I thought the garbage truck came by. "

 

[HoleshotHolset]

(submitted on behalf of Wheaties...)

... . you take the toilet paper out of your Frantz bypass filter and 'use it' one more time.



Good one, MTE!! :-laf

[VGiacalone]

... . when men cancel dates with you because your truck is bigger than theirs... .





and you don't care!

 

[Timbeaux38]

when your friends invite you over to show you their new electrical doohickey and you answer "when they make one that runs on #2 " when they ask when you are getting one...



if you were unhappy with " The Fast and the Furious" When you found out that Vin Diesel is an actor and not the name of the cool truck that smokes the NOPI's in the movie.



You find yourself lecturing to 6 year olds about the wonders of the diesel engine... ... .



You will offer to drive 50 miles in the rain just so no one will see you in your buddies silly Tahoe.



Grandpaw gets ****** when he jums on the tractor to bush hog and sets a new land speed record because of the twins that you installed without his knowledge.



You have tried to talk your significant other into bringing that new gallon of Rotella into the bedroom



... ..... She says she prefers Amsoil because it offers superior viscosity..... and it is easier to wash out of the sheets.
