Default i love this thread!!!

i get asked several times a month
"have you chipped your truck yet?"
i tell them, "yep, its a custom tuned one from showoff motorsports" (a local shop that ruins trucks by turning them into pavement pounders)
next one, "what is that thing sticking up out of your bed? kinda looks like a chimmeny or.."
i tell them, "it is a stack"
they say, "what is a stack?"
"my exhaust comes out of it"
they say, "oh... why do you need such a big stack?"
i just say "it improves fuel economy"
next one, "is that a diesel?"
"yep"
they say, "does it have a turbo?"
it freking says CUMMINS TURBO DIESEL right on the side in big red letters! so of course i say "i wish!"
i got too many, people these days should be properly informed about diesels .
but then wheres the fun in that for us?

Not gunna lie, when I was in high school and didn't really know anything about diesels, I asked a guy on eBay if his '98 12v CTD had been chipped and if he'd messed with the computer any. Of course he said no, real politely, but I'm sure he laughed his *** off! I'd like to think I've gotten somewhat smarter

The other day my buddy pulled his 99 PSD dually in to our Diesel skill center shop. And a teacher walking by in the hallway stopped in and said to my friend,


Teacher:" Dis yo truck?"
Friend: "yes"
Teacher:" what's dat"
Him: "exhaust pipe"
Teacher: "How you get your exhaust comin out of your bed right der?"
Him: " cut a hole" bla bla bla " It gives you better fuel economy"
Teacher: "you crazy"

I tried not to be disrespectful and held my laughter in.
