some wanna be cowboy that bought my friends truck came up to me on my lunch break at work, said hi and all, said, man where did you get that stack at?

i got it from grandrock.com, its the biggest aussie style you can get.

what exhaust system are you running?

i made it myself.

sweet, i see all the smoke on the stack, does your truck have a fuel plate in it or did you take it out?

i look at him, then his friend, seeing that neither of them know anything about diesels i tell him it has a custom machined fuel plate.

his friend now states, i bet it lays a fatty cloud huh? (this is why diesels get a bad rap because all most ill informed people just care about making their truck smoke)

um... if you put your foot in it without the turbo lit it will, but i have it tuned to burn clean.

the guy looks at me like why would you do that?

i show him the train horns and they get all excited before they got to go. i just thought it is hilarious how they tried to act like they knew about diesels and how all they cared about was the smoke, which to them somehow equals power.

i work at k-mart, nothing special, but last week i was trying to finish all the tasks i had been given, on this particular day the district manager(the big big boss) was there, he literally stops me to ask me what that big ole thing coming out of the bed of my truck was, he was absolutely facinated to find out it was a exhuast.

OK I seen this topic and had to chime in on the stupidest question evey asked. I was at a 4th of july celebration where there was a charity car show, A guy in his lowered import asked me if I was ever going to bag it and put a "system" in it. I said, "no if I wanted a car I would buy a camero"!!

Nothing wrong with some bump

Just dont swap a 4 banger over into your truck with a fart can on it

not diesel related but still funny. this was the conversation between a 25 year old woman and the auto zone employee.

woman: my left turn signal's out, i need some blinker fluid.
clerk: yes ma'am let me check on that for you. ( he kinda looks at me)
clerk: we just run out of blinker fluid ma'am you might wanna try across the street at o'rileys.
me: oh and ma'am i noticed a puddle of fluid under your car, probably from your headlights. ask them about some halogen fluid for your headlights while your there.
me and clerk after she leaves: some people's kids.

Keep getting this one lately.

"You know the cummins V8 isnt anything compared to the Duramax or Powerstrokes."

Me- "Thats cool. Too bad mine only runs on 6 cylinders."

"You might want to get that fixed haha."

This was some retarded Army douche who got into his lifted Powerpuke that had stacks and thought he was soo cool he had to take up 3 spots to park it. If you cant park it, dont drive it! Some people should of been a ******* i swear....................

Me-Yup but somehow I can still hear you.
Them- What?
Me-Turnin off pickup, belts sqweek and engine rattles.
Them- Are you ok?!
Me-LMAO!!

O man, crossing the border from Mexico, the border inspection agent practically yelled at me to turn of my pickup because the exhaust was too loud. Damn near pulled out his gun and yanked me out the door cause he thought I was being a smartass by asking, "What?" when he asked us where we coming from and where we were goin to. HAHA

Having worked fast food a few time in my life, granted there are always douche's that work inside that can hear you if they try hard enough, but in most cases just because you can hear them doesnt mean the sound of your engine isnt amplified on there side much more than your voice. If you're in a LBZ or newer Dmax, or 6.4 or newer Powerstroke, you're fine, but be considerate and turn your 24v off as soon as you get to the speaker

It amazes me that some people don't realize that if they just were a little bit considerate in drive throughs maybe their food wouldn't get messed up.

Dumbest thing I have ever gotten is in reference to this truck or my old chevy:

"That's a badass PowerStroke" or the best i heard on Sunday. "That thing got a 7.3 in it?" this one came from a gentleman here in Iowa from the great state of GA that has a 900HP SD with a Bulldog chip and a $8500 turbo that he has no clue what specs are on it. Im not sure he liked that I questioned his mental state.
