The latest one. I was sitting in the school parking lot right after school and had my truck idling trying to warm up. Some random girl walks up to me and said "It sounds like your truck is missing." I told her it didn't have spark plugs for it to miss. She asks, "Then how the hell does it start and run?" I just face palmed myself and drove off.

One of the more dumber ones. I was at a GAS pump putting gas in a gas can for my four wheeler. I walk in to prepay, and the cashier goes, "You do know that's a diesel, right?" Me, being a smart ass. I said, "Really? I've been running gas in it for months and it only smokes a little."
He looked at me real funny and I walked away.

the one i hear is (do those stacks really work) duh also i noticed the neighbor kids would run out to the curb and watch me drive by, i though man these kids must really like monster trucks, then one day my 5 year old comes home from school and said (dad our truck sounds like a bus!!!) i could only laugh.

Ok so out here in Hawaii diesels arent the biggest thing to see someone riding around in and having a lifted cummins with stacks is like driving one of those bug zappers down the street. I've got whats in there a w12 or whats the gas mileage on that thing less than my hemi huh? And those damn rich folk in bmw,benzos,pasta rockets, never think to ask me how fast it is haha:rocking:

him "i didnt know ford sold their trucks with stacks"
me "yep been doin it since 1850 when they first made the diesel"

him "do ur stacks really work"
me "stick ur face up there and find out"

him "how are you going to pass emissions test without a cat on ur truck"
me "what are emissions standards"

him "y do u leave ur truck running when you run into the gas station to get something"
me "bc i can"

---AutoMerged DoublePost---

oh the one that i got today at school
him "i saw u pull in at i noticed some black smoke coming from under ur truck. is that normal"
me "omg it was smoking...it could have caught on fire...what if i had burned up..."

Some of the more annoying one's I get as I'm about to get in my truck, "How do you get in it?" Well, if you just hold on a sec, you could watch me.

Same thing with getting out of it...

or the "How many gallons to the mile does that thing get?"

That's all I got for now. :w2:

Re: What is the dumbest question someone asked you about your Truck?
 

Hahahah these are great

they ask me why i NEED it lifted so high... I tell them so i can see that short skirt your wearing when i ride by your car...

Re: What is the dumbest question someone asked you about your Truck?
 

Ya mean shirt? If so even at stock height its easy to see down woman's shirts lmao

i've gotten the whole "chip" thing before, "that got a cummings(:bat:) in it?" "how long does it take ur glow plugs to heat up?" "why is there an extension cord hooked to ur truck? is it electric?"< i almost pissed myself over that one....

standin in the shop one day a guy pointed to a torque converter n said will that turbo fit on my car? he got all red faced n walked out when we all were rollin on the floor.

people always say chevy never put a diesel in a 1/2 ton. well i got a vin number to prove it

Dumbest question ive ever had is "How good is it on gas?" I always answer with "Insane!!, I never need to put any gas in there". I always seem to get the "omg really" response quite a lot LOL.

This one really get me:
Pop the hood,

"Wow, do you have twins?"

Do they look the exact same size? NO! IMO, they are not twins. These (pointing at my turbos) are compounds.

if u were smart, u would took her for a ride and showed her how it runs, and then give her a lil extra ;)

The absolute best DUMB question I have got...
While plugging my truck in for the overnight, some of my wife's friends from out of town were there and said, "why do you plug it in...thats odd."

Me: Well, it's a hybrid and I have to charge my batteries overnight so I can get 50 MPG's in town...they were impressed and asked what make/model so they could look into getting one.

:s: some peoples kids

Him:"whens the last time u changed ur sparkplugs?". Me:"never, why?". Him:"man I think it really needs new ones, you know you aint burnin half the gas your squirtin in your cylinders, that's why its smokin so bad". Me: "ooooh that explains EVERYTHING!!". I swear we need to thin the population a little sometimes
:argh:

I almost forgot

In my senior year of High school, after an FFA meeting some of the guys wanted me to pop the hood on my truck.
So we're sittin there looking at it and this kid goes, "so does it have a turbo on it?"
:argh:

Another kid from school asked the same question after listening to it idle with the 4 inch turbo back exhaust on it.

OMG, i got the "what is wrong with your truck?" question tonight after putting it in 4th gear doing ~27kph and stomped it.... smoked out two lanes...

i've been waiting for someone to ask me that... for such a :edit: long time....

I have a girlfriend, and can't date someone who don't have a clue about my truck. lol. She drives a little Honda hybrid

do these 2 chicks know each other? do they live in the same zip code? if not, then ur golden! haha

You don't need spark plugs to have a miss.

[QUOTE=dmaxtothemax;651636]

Them: "what'd you say?"
Me: "(inaudible)"
Them: "sir, you have to turn your truck off"
Me: "i'd like a #3 with no pickles, like i been tellin ya" "can ya her me now"

I've started just walkin I :yeah:


I have given up on drive thrus also!!

Also love watchin peoples expression when I shut the truck off and the belt squeeks
and the whole truck shakes (with the kids standin on the runnin boards waiting for the shake :jump:)
and they ask what just happened to it.
I tell em nothin its suppose to do that :rocking:

girlfriend is just a word... no ring - all is fair game in my book... After all that is why you are with her... Take the dumb hybrid chick to the woods and show her places her hybrid won't go... :tu:

I have had people come up and ask if my '93 is a diesel,when I tell them it is I always get the same line "I didn't know they put diesels in pickups back then":argh:

They're really good friends, and live down the road from each other. haha. Be a little hard not getting caught.

The absolute DUMBEST might just be "why?".

Why so loud?
Why put so much money into it?
Why not get a new truck instead?


Why the heck not?!!?:jump:

im thinking a threesome :choochoo:

x2 i mean if there that good of friends

It never hurts to ask your other half... All she can do is say yes or no... I've asked every girl i ever dated... needless to say she always said no... :nope:

my old ford i get alot more questions then the dmax. normally they are what has already been said.

is that diesel? yesum
does it smoke? sometimes
did you chip it? if u count the fritos on the dash yes
how much lift do u have? none
whats that humming noise? fuel pump

and before i put the turbo on...


how much boost can u run on that? answer was always 14.7 lbs. atmospheric pressure. lol

I stopped into a stealership to look over an 07 dmax the other day, i pulled in and left eh truck running, and started looking when the owner of the lot came out and starting looking over my truck. he heard the airdog running and gave me the "whats that noise?" i told him it was jsut he airdog.... got another dumb look and then asked "Whats that?" i jsut shook my head. this came from a guy who had 3 dmax on the lot, 4 powerstrokes and a few cummins.

And then there was the ultimate dumb question.... "what chip you have in it?"
me- "dont have a chip, got EFI live tuning"
him- "so you dont have it chipped?"
me- "nope, not like your thinking"

Yes and sadly half the city my mom lives in are richy kids with mommy and daddys wallets in hand, who know everything about everything, and the only thing I can picture is them doing is standing in the drive through window in 5 years saying "You want fries wit dude" as I nod smile and walk away.
I get to hear at least one every time I go into town
I always laugh when people say, "did you know your trucks burning oil, it was smoking black when you pulled into the parking lot"
I think someone should have told my mom, her 6.2L K5 blazer was my favorite vehicle in the family growing up.
lol I get that almost every day

I'm getting sick of people saying, "So, you got a chip in that thing?"

Turns out since my tire pressure was low in my right rear tire 4,6 and 8 injectors failed.

man your lucky it didnt knock out your glow plugs too! lol

Why do you have two oil filters and why are they on the frame......... Airdog
Whats that hum...... airdog before it starts...... thats the secondary motor for when I idle it keeps it running

You should have told them the oil filters are to make sure your HPOP doesnt go out lol

Welcome to the forum dude :tu:
