Know why I like these Diesel pickups?
 

Doesnt matter if its a Powerstroke, Duramax or Cummins... :)

Cruising a 70+ mph highway, while the gassers in their big SUVs always seeming to be in a hurry... (usually) theyre slow down going up hills where we just touch the happy pedal, hear the whistle, and we are the ones passing them on the way up..:choochoo::choochoo: that never gets old!!! haha

also where else can you pull up to a truck next to a bunch of semi trucks and not feel intimidated? ...Yeah im 400 hp too, so? :)

Id be scared as heck if i was in my old honda! haha

ahh good times good times.. :tu:

I love the fact that my half ton pickup is gettin better mileage than most cars out on the road

I like the fact that I can burn almost any kind of fuel I want. I also like blowing past those gassers with little trailers in tow when i'm grossing 20k+

My truck can only take 5% bio-diesel:argh:

I love everything about diesels. From the power, smell, sound to the COOL factor. :tu:

The sound is like no other. Mechanical and visceral, like a buzz saw rending bone. :scare2:

Ever since I was a little kid, I have been mesmerized by the sound. You can ask ANY of my family, or ANY of my friends and they will tell you I'm a diesel fanatic. If I'm standing somewhere talking, and I hear a diesel, I will stop mid sentence to turn and make sure that I'm hearing a 7.3 Powerstroke (or a cummins, etc. etc.) and to wave at them to see if they'll romp on it for me :hellox:

Heck I was always smelling diesel exhaust when I was a little kid, they probably thought I was gonna be a druggie when I grew up lol. But it might have actually made me smarter! 4.0 all through elem/JH/high school, graduated Valedictorian, 32 ACT composite, 3.75 all through college.... not to brag :yeah:

Now that I'm a little older I love the low end power (hate having to hit 4 grand in my car before I can do anything), fuel mileage, and efficiency.

You should feel intimidated as the semi at 400hp (CAT or isx cummins) makes 1650ft-lbs and pulls 80k lbs all day long with that 400hp without seeing over 900* on the pyro. Where's your 5.9 won't last pulling weight very long at those levels.

The sound is addictive. The only thing that stumps me, but I am getting use to is the lag when I mash it to the floor. I assume that must me computer controlled to keep the trans from grenading. :tu:

I love the smell of burnt diesel fuel in the morning. :rocking:
