You Know Your A Dieselhead

When your wife comes down stairs @ 1 am and says

"are you still on that diesel truck porn site".

Ever notice, that us Cummins boys advertise heavily who shakes our rides, that the Ford PowerStroke boys put Cat emblems, plates and Badges on?



Yeah, there's a contractor here on base that has 3 indentical 04 Power Strokes and they all have CAT plates on the front... The other day the crews where out BSin' on the side of the road so I thought I's show how a real diesel sounds. I was in a 20MPH zone 3rd gear singing about 1900/2000 RPMs, SPS 62 singing DEEP through that 5 inch turbo back stright piped and stacked. One guy even gave me a thumbs up. Sometimes I guess we can't pick what we drive at work, but at least there's one guy in that group with good taste. :-laf By the way I have a stainless plate with a Blue "C"ummins emblem with red "Turbo Diesel" under that.

you can bet your *** that whenever i see another modded cummins, even if its only a ****ty tip on his exhaust, ill go by him with a huge grin and a big thumbs up. any cummins or powerstroke thats slightly modded at all gets me happier than heck... . going to the diesel nationals each year is just crazy for me :-laf :-laf

when you watch diesel videos on thedieselgarage.com over and over again

When someone buys a full size truck with a gas motor and you say "I'm sorry buddy, you'll learn someday". This phrase can start a fight, caution.

 

[LukeW]

when you convince all of your friends that there next truck should be a diesel

When you see a half ton (or larger) truck hauling or towing a load that is obviously too large for it to handle, and you actually feel sorry for it, and wish you could hook it to you and help them out a bit.

I joke with my wife that I am going to put a push bar on mine to help out the needy :-laf

Sad when you know that you could tow the poor sucker with a trailer in front of you up the hill faster with his rig not helping.



I love passing other guys towing when I have somethine heavy hanging off my bumper.

 

[BradyWilliams]

When you tow your 12,000lb tailer over a steep long mountain 85mph in the fast lane just because you can. And then your wife says. Show off get over!

 

[Moose Truck]

You notice as side benefit to your dual exhaust, That when you hop out after shutting off the truck you can hear the Turbo spin down longer :-laf

 

[6BT-Dakota]

I know a Big Time DieselHead that Dieselized his snowthower with a small engine that was purchased to Dieselize someone else's kids go cart :-laf

 

[MA2LA]

You have detailed plans to cummins swaps in most of your vehicals and vehicals you plan to buy just to do the swaps.



you only want stuff for your truck for your b-day and x-mas.



you laugh when some punk at the lumber yard questions wether or not your truck can hold all the stuff you bough and you watch his face as he puts 3000 pounds in the back and the truck finaly sits level.

 

[JGrefenstette]

[cahammer]

you might be a dieselhead when you buy a $600 phone with internet cappiblites just so you can keep up with what's going on in the forums while sitting in a tractor

 

[WDixon27]

one of the first things you do with your new cell phone is figure out how to put in the isb start up sound file for a ring tone, took a little work for my razr

 

[Freidhof]

when you are not in your CTD and roll up to a stop light, and roll down the windows to listen for other oncoming diesels.



you can name what type of diesel engine/truck before you even see it.



Someone comments to you how loud your truck is and you reply, with a grin and a chuckle, "Ain't it, though!"



Regardless of outside temperature, you still roll down the passenger window when in tunnels, under bridges, or beside Jersey walls, just so you can listen to your truck.

My wife hates that! :-laf Though I have a y-pipe and duals, so both windows go down
