There's a lot of hostility out there :ouch:. Diesel is refined petroleum, BTW, and one of the reasons it costs as much as premium gasoline is that it is also home heating oil, and the refiners are getting what the market will bear. Non refined petroleum won't run in your diesel engine.

Anyway, as for pet peeves, how about the driver that hangs out in the fast lane of the highway doing 55 mph in a 65 mph zone? Or even the speed limit, which most of us tend to ignore.

How about the guy doing 45 mph in a 55 limit on a two lane road with no passing on most of the 30 mile stretch, then when you come to one of the two passing lanes he doing 70 mph and you think dam he woke up then goes back to 45 when you can't pass him anymore.

But then since it was 5 am in the morning my high beam switch started to malfunction and I couldn't get them off high beam for 10 miles, so I hate when that happens too :jump:

Yes, that happens to me sometimes. There's a road that we take to see my mother in law, who's in a nursing home 30 miles away, and it's two lanes and for most of its long distance is no passing. Occasionally we get stuck behind some asshole who's doing forty miles an hour or less in the fifty mile an hour zone, so we're stuck following this nervous nellie for miles. :scare2:

The over excited Cummins guy who cant get over his Cummins!

Stacks they are overplayed now! even worse those stupid huge stacks that are 8" or bigger!

The Chevy guys and the Allison tranny! even though you turn up the HP some and it breaks stock.

The Ford owns Cummins guys! or the guys that say "next year Ford is getting the Cummins."

Bashing on the 6.0 ok its time to give it a rest guys. Especially Chevy guys you had 30 plus years of Shitty ass Diesels. Ford had 6 years and only 2 years with Major problems most of the kinks are work out now!

That guy that you meet that thinks Banks Edge and Bullydog are the best thing on the Market.

Gale Banks. :scare2:

and

Gale Banks :scare2:

notice how i said sometimes i drive like an ass

what really gets me is how about those guys that feel the need to blow tons of smoke at you, just because you are in a diesel. on top of that wanting to race, or "hook up" all the time. i don't really care if can or can't pull your truck your still dumb in the end................and my truck will prolly last a little longer in the end, so i think i win everytime then.

What grinds my gears the worst is getting cut off in traffic by someone in a Pinto with no blinkers or tail lights... Must not have offered those on that model...

People who blow smoke in town on purpose give us all a bad name.

And of course, that moron who wants to drive 15 on a 70 because the road is a little curvy... No Passing for about 20 miles and of course they won't use the pullouts.....

what grinds my gears is the people that ask me every time i see them when i'm going to trade my truck in just because it had a few major malfuctions. the truck it's self is fine dumbass,the motor just needs some tlc.

What grinds my gears?

The guy at the Burger King drive through window that said my truck had a bad valve tap.

Not taliking about the VC grade now are we? hahahahaha

I got another on while I was sitting, waiting to make a right turn, I had cars coming so just kept waiting for a hole to jump and then with out warning a car does a quick slow down and turns right with no blinker, a cop, thanks a lot for the good example and making me miss a turn to get out, if you would have reached all the way up there to use the turn signal.

But none of them use turn signals.

the highway patrol that drives 40 in the hammer lane on the interstate when the posted minimum speed is 45 and you try to pass someone and run up on him.

Or all the people who are afraid to pass him at a legal limit and cause a log jam behind him

ya i have run into that a time or two and it chaps my A$$ thats the same as grind my gears isnt it :w2:

Thats why their called pace cars.... :dang:

Having to swipe my card twice just to get a fill up because of the $75 limit !....Damn !

X2 C.C. limits at pumps can kiss my fat :edit::edit:

Just because I have mofo stacks doesnt mean I want to race every to dick and harry that thinks there truck is fast. If I wanna race you would d*** sure know it.

You know what grinds my gears:

People that are very active in the church, claim to be the best person they can be. but you see them at the store and they will be the first to stab you in the back, wont say hi, and put their nose in the air at you... i guess i just dont like Hypocrites ( sp? )..

Any one who says that offroad diesel is bad.
People who can't work on there own shit.
Ugly women who think there $#!t don't stank.

People who think they're "king shit." Period. :bat:

x2

I know I'm an idiot...

WE know you are Bobby....It's O.K. I'm one too:c:

What grinds my gears is when people insist on cranking up that rap music early in the morning when i'm trying to sleep after getting off work and i can feel the thumping to.

When I need over one hundred gallons of fuel, and the pump keeps cutting off at $75. Two different cards swiped twice just to fill up my 150 gallon tank.

you know what grinds my gears
thw guy in another forum i will leave un-names who called me a vag cus apperently he pulled up next to me at a stop light and i didnt race him. apperantly i have to race every cummins i see near me or im a vag. :humm:

That's the rule. I guess we'll let it slide this time, but if you don't pick it up we'll start stuffing cotton balls into your exhaust.

he he cotton balls, we just use condoms:tttt:

wow condoms...those things last like two seconds on a tailpipe ha. most people around me put pop bottles in my tips on my Bronco

i don't know if we have "pop" bottles around here in my parts. we have soda bottles around here:tttt:

You know what grinds my gears?

How compound turbo setups got referred to as "twins" when in fact the turbos are not twins at all...

How people who subscribe to Diesel Power or Diesel World are all of a sudden experts on the subject...

How said people can out argue the "facts" they learned in their magazine collection better than I can argue the years of wrench bending experience...

How punk ass kids think that they are really overcoming something by being under 18 and bombing their diesels...you're the same as anyone else, so get over yourself!

People who ask me what kind of "chip" I have even though I have mechanically injected trucks...

Said people who ask if I can turn the screw on their electronic injected truck...

People who make driving a bombed out diesel a status symbol (which I think was said already, but it drives me nuts too)...

Dumb people in general...

Being judged because someone smears my name with a bunch of bad rumors from an angry biotch determined to make me miserable just because I was too busy working to answer her text messages...

Being stuck out on a job during night shift waiting for a second party to get done f-ing things up so we can get back to work...

I'm done for now. :w2:

(How punk ass kids think that they are really overcoming something by being under 18 and bombing their diesels...you're the same as anyone else, so get over yourself!)
Thank you 93fummins:tu:

I heard that. Even more annoying when they argue myth and urban legend getting spread around on sites like this that's just plain wrong. :argh:

You know what grinds my gears?

The phrase "chrome don't get ya home"... Uh, what about the thousands of dollars worth of CHROME tools that have gotten me home NUMEROUS times when something went wrong?
