On friday my son got out of school at 1:00 and i did not know about. I had my wife's expy and i was 15 miles away from the school. So she found the extra key and drove my truck

 

nothing like a 5 minute drive to make a diesel's day...

 

Go out and drive the truck somewhere for a few minutes, then return. Immediately pop the hood and unbolt a few items, then put them back on. When she asks what you are doing, tell her there's something wrong with the truck, it's just not running right. Then ask her if anything "happened" while she was driving it. This may just plant the seeds of doubt sufficiently that she won't want to drive it again. Be careful, could backfire and then she may want you to get rid of it for something she can drive.
WARNING, this method may not work for all people.

 

Maybe we need to put together a technical article. Something along the lines...."how to get your way with the PSD".
Identifiying the fine lines, and ways to manipulate the uneducated.

 

Hahah I don't have to worry about that. My wife hates driving my truck.

 

My wife hates to drive mine too. The first time she took it out it had white paint on the rear fender from the fence post at the end of the driveway. Of course it was the fault of "that damn wide truck."

 

thanks for the laugh

 

Yeah, my wife hates my truck, too. That's the good news. The bad news is that she has had to drive it to work and back every Mon-Wed for the past three weeks - and she is getting used to it.

Worse - because of our current situation, she will have to drive it three days per week for the next 5 to 6 weeks. I'm afraid that 'getting used to it' will change to "I like it."

She still complains that it is sluggish and has trouble getting out of its own way. She knows nothing of the magic switch under the dash.

Well, truth is, she knows it is there, but thinks it is only a theft control device - it has a 'no start' position.

 

Man, you better get her into something else quick before she wises up. JMO.

 

No kidding. I'm trying to get her to use our son's car - but she 'doesn't want to drive' his car.

AND if she ever drives it in the 80 hp 'econo' mode, she'll know it isn't sluggish at all.

 

I don't have a wife.

Ryan, we know. Look how many posts you have. lol

 

My wife loves to drive mt truck. I let her take it about once a month. I trust her but i'm still nervous til its back in the driveway!

 

The first time my wife wanted to drive my truck i told her that would be ok, then it snowed about 8 inches and i drove. she never asked agian. funney thing she never wanted to drive my old truck with a zillon miles on it. she did try to start it befor she found the extra key ot go get our son

 

My wife is driving my truck every day now since her work is half the distance of mine. I made her promise she would only drive it half as hard as I do!! She does not mind it being sluggish, she likes being in a big safe vehicle, but since she has gotten "comfortable" in it dont **** her off because she gets this evil little wicked smile on her face!
