I'm a generator tech. We work on everything from 2 cyl air cooled residential gens to v-20 MTU diesel gens. We are a Kohler dealer so a lot of our diesel gen under 500kw are John Deere engines. Our customers can't believe there is a JD in there so usually I have to show them the engine tag.

We do have some Series 60 Detroits that run on natural gas. They have spark plugs and sound just like it's running on diesel.

To the guy who said he wouldn't date a girl if she didn't know about trucks. I usually don't like them to know anything about my truck. It's easier that way, they try to tell you what the know. My women needs to have big ti***es and look good and that's about all I care about.

i went into oreillys to buy some valve cover gaskets for my 12v and as the worker was looking it up on the computer i told him i needed six of them. he replied six? why so many? my reply was because i stack them on top of each other so they seal better

I like when I go to get something basic at the parts store like say a bulb they always ask if its 2 or 4wd. Or one time I asked how many pints my tcase took and they asked again if it was 4x4 :banghead:

Recently co-workers have been asking "Ever add up how much you've invested in your truck?" Hell no!

People always ask me if it's a V8, and when I reply inline six they think I'm lying to them.
Some guy in the parking lot asked me if it was a V8, while I had the hood open. I told him "F### a V8, I've got a Six Cylinder Diesel!"

Today was great, wasn't a stupid question, just a stupid person. Pulled into the gas station to get smokes, all the parking spots were full so I pulled in at a passenger-side-tank pump, one way gas station so it's not like someone can pull in the other way (I tried once...they called base security), plus it was taped off and bagged "OUT OF ORDER" so noone could use it even if they wanted to.

Clerk: Sir, for one you can't leave your vehicle running and two you can't park there
Me: -shakes keys at her- It'll just be a moment
Clerk: Excuse me? You're not allowed to block a pump that someone else could use, I can call base police if you like
(as if on cue, the cooldown timer shuts the truck down)
Me: Well there is the answer to your first comment -pointing out to a now silent truck-, and as for your second, that pump is out of order so I'm not blocking a pump someone could potentially use. But go ahead, call base police, but just know that I will then call them EVERY time I see someone filling up with gasoline at the ONLY diesel pump when there are others open

Gotta love stupid people...I hate it when I pull into a station to fill up and someone blocks the diesel fill up while there getting ga and they have plenty of other pumps to use...I make it a point to back up onto the other side of the pump and throw a little smoke...get out spit and walk in the store...no one has ever said anything to me ...
