Calling all California Bombers!!!
 

I wanna know how many dieselheads reside in good ol' CA!:humm: C'mon guys, what are your names, what do you drive and where do ya live?
I'll start:
Taryn
2006 cummins 2500 big horn edition
yuba city CA :howdy:

I'm here! (for about another week and 1/2) I've got the male twin to your rig! He's going to be getting a workout in the next 2 weeks! Headed to Salt Lake City to pick-up a 26 foot enclosed car trailer, then bringing it back home and loading it up with all my stuff and family and then we have a 2 day, 1200 mile, 4 state, 10k+ trip.

Were so excited to get out of this Sh*thole state!

Tye

im thnkin bout moving myself actually lol fuel is getting way too expensive! thinking maybe CO or WY. and my truck is a male lol! just cuz im a girl dont mean my pickup is lmao! i named him Mater! :choochoo: btw does that tip make a diff in the exhaust sound on ur rig?
bet ur truck wont even break a sweat lol, that mighty cummins motor will barely flex his muscles.:rocking: good luck with ur trip!:U:

I'll see ya in Colorado if ya end up there! I got a job in Littleton, a suburb of Denver, making almost double what I'm making here and we'll be living in Castle Rock which is about 1400 feet above Denver which is referred to as the Front Range. I look out my back porch and see Pike's Peak! :U: The cost of living is much cheaper and Diesel was @ $4.36 the other day when I looked.

Sorry about that! I thought your truck was an auto. I have your trucks twin brother! :5:

The tip makes a big difference! It is deeper and throatier. When I 1st put it on, I also straight piped it @ the same time. I made a trip to L.A. for a truck get together and as soon as I got back I put my little 10'in donaldson resonator on it, because when I shifted @ lower rpms, it literally was ground shaking! lol It was pretty bad that hole truck vibrated from the resonation off of the ground! I experimented on my 02 with the way I've got the exhaust done and really liked and decided to do the same to this one. Now on my 02, it was strait piped with a 5'in tip and it nowhere made the noise this one does!:choochoo:

my truck is an auto, that doesnt make it a girl tho does it cuz i aint changn his name lol! sweet i wanted to get a tip but didnt know if it would actually make a diff in the sound, mine is just a 4" straight pipe all the way back? its loud but it doesnt drone or anything like ive heard people say the 3rd gens do?? lol when it was only held on by the clamps b4 we tacked it on, it fell off going down the road lmao!! i drove around for 2 days with the down pipe cutting off right under the cab b4 i could get too a welder!!! holy helll that thing gave you a darn headache at 65 mph the drone was terrible but low high rpms it sounded sweet! so loud! the essence of power !:rocking: wonder what a 6"tip would make mine sound like???:humm::humm::w2::w2:

AW HA! So I was right it is a girl truck (it's just in drag) :poak::D

I was trying to come up with a name for mine but couldn't come up with anything I liked so I just went with what my 2yr old daughter calls it, "Big Truck!" Some of her 1st words were "Big Truck" so it has sentimental meaning to it as well. My 9 year old (she was 5 at the time), named my 2nd gen "Goliath"

With the resonator and the 6'in tip the truck sound deep and tough1

just curious how does an auto make it a girl lol!:humm:

it dont have a stick

oh duh lol:ph:

Ding ding ding! lol

hey now, my truck is a boy i dnt care what yall say! it has a 4wd shiftr comin out the floor!!!! that counts!!! lol i named it mater and its a boy!:tttt:

It's probably a strap on shifter?:w2:

uh no way it works, trust me lol! :choochoo:

ok! If you say so! lol

:2:hey my truck knows his name already so it would be unfair too change it now:mad3: ! my stick works just as well as urs, its just not as long!!!!:ha:

now I feel a little weird about my truck having two sticks.:run:

Tye, my 2yo niece calls her dad's '05 on 35's 'big truck' or the 'man truck'! and I think she may have learned 'dodge' before 'mommy'. glad you've found a way to make a bunch of money outside of this stupid state, I'm still looking for that type of opp; but I have too much going on for work around here right now...

Oh yeah, Jon here, in the central valley near fresno; rollin in the '93 Mexican Mtn Goat...buy domestic, hecho en Mexico, baby!

2 sticks are better then one! Especially if yours is longer then the other persons.:w2:

As for getting out of this state, if you don't look, you'll never find a way out.

Are you going to make it over next weekend for my farewell breakfast? It's in Nipomo @ Jocko's.

okay, I'll bite :c: My name is Kyle, from the central coast where Tye is leaving




And both of my trucks have sticks:U:

Maybe not the best words you could have chosen?:humm:

ahhhh, you so funny!! :bat: What are you doing posting here?? Aren't you to good for us cali guys?? :w2::tttt:

no, I can't make it out there, I gotta work...I kinda just took a week off right in the middle of our busy season so I need to pull some saturdays the next couple weeks to make up for it. with all that extra money, you better be doing some serious toying around with your truck. and a VW tdi. and you could sponsor my truck, too...

and kyle, it's really unnecessary to bite.

thanks for the replies guys! keep um comin!!! if you got friends from cali tell um too post, oh btw any yall goin to the diesel rally in redding?:humm:

I am all the way down here in Ventura county. It is 45 min north of Los Angeles.

---AutoMerged DoublePost---

I have been lurking for a while too.

located in shingletown east of redding and will be at the rally I believe for one day. my truck may not be outta the shop though which sucks

I'm down in Port Hueneme (Ventura). I drive a 2001.5 2500 on 35's.

I just moved to San Diego (Chula Vista, CA.) from Virginia. I am currently on a 6 month deployment in the Pacific Ocean/ Gulf. Right now my in-laws are driving my truck to tow thier racecar.

Welcome shipmate!

Hey I know Chris. He's got a pretty sweet D-max. My husband is in the same batallion that Chris is in.

yeah his dmax is really nice. the dodge is killer too. he mentioned that he knew you when we were lookin at the site a while back. it sux having him gone lol i miss talking trucks with him lol! but im sure all lost time will be made up for when he gets home.:c: and alot of bombing too do also.. between 2 diesel heads and 3 diesels lol :yeah:

Having them gone does suck, I'm going through my third deployment w/ my hubby. But it is so worth it when they get home.

When they guys come home, we'll have to get together sometime.

heck yeah for sure!! chris said hes gunna kidnap me for a few days when he gets home!lol no warning lol just see ya later boss and off to so cal we go. I have already warned my boss that hes due back in oct and hes gunna steal me for a few days lol. she laughed and said thats fine... hes awesome tho, funniest guy ever and cute as hell. and the guy can talk diesels till most normal people are blue in the face lol which matches him perfect too me cuz im the same way!!! but a get together def would be fun!! Chris is the first guy in the military ive dated, and i cant help but worry bout him, i know nothing about how the military works so im confusd with everythin he tells me lol.. but ne way ill ttyl.:howdy:

Is there some sort of San Diego Diesel Truck get together or club? When I get back sometime in November I would like to join if there is a club of some sort. In Virginia we had one where we would go four wheeling in the mud and/or sand for a day. It was always fun. Even the wife liked going, until we had the baby.

Almost two months have gone by since anyone has posted to this thread.

If I remember right, I think Iv met Buckshot and dslchk at a GTG in Cerritos some time back.
The names sound familiar anyway.

Im donnie and Im in Simi Valley which is just over the hill from the San Fernando Valley.
My ride is an 05 Silver 2500.

Hi Donnie, I used to live in Simi Valley. Used to be so nice I remember when I was a little girl it was all orange grove trees. How long have you been there?

buckshot ditched the BS of doing business in our circus of a state and moved to Colorado.

There are a few of us in the valley but not very many. my brother is in bakersfield, has a Brown's Diesel/Thuren Fab'd 3rd gen that he races in famoso now and then, he's over on CompD, though...(whew, I don't get banned here for saying another forum exists!:choochoo:)

Yup that was me that you met in Cerritos, hard to believe it's been over a yr and a half since that meet. I'm still poking around a bit, just been busy w/ work and all.

Was in San Diego for a couple years, born and raised in Imperial Valley, and currently living in Yuma, AZ. Not sure where I'll be next, but I'll be movin in 4-5 months once this job is finished up.

Donnie, I remember meeting you at that same GTG I think.

Oh, and I am still around here in the southern part of the state. When my trucks not broke. lol

Checking in from Southern CA with the truck in my sig
