There's a lot of hostility out there . 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

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 ******* 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.

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 *** 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.

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.....
