we used to call the old v8-2 stroke detroits double breasted yamaha's as they always sounded like a 2 stroke dirt bike, and cats well i can't post that one here. lots of good nick names for them all. just the cummins nick name, well that one came to me when i worked for cummins metro power here in NJ.
the old 855 i-6's and 903 v8's were always cummins apart and in the shop to cumapart

Yes, some of those Dodge guys are a little funny when they get shut down.
I have driven several, but I have not driven one yet that drives as nice as my 300 thousand mile plus Ford does as far as the steering goes.
I just drove a 2000 60 miles this week, had 69,000 on the clock.
I would not do an even swap for my 86 Ford the way it drove.
I do like the way the six speed shifts and I like how the parking brake holds, but there has to be more than that to like about a truck before I would buy one.[/quote]
trader! jack you have all those nice trucks,cars and bikes and you had to add a vw? hope you like buying that special gray bottled $8.00 a liter tdi oil they most have. so the fuel pump, oil pump pick up and turbo don't coke up solid. vw! land of the $100.00, 5 k oil change on a 4 banger. glad i'm not turning wrenches on them any more.
Say what you will...........all I know is that as far as diesel pickups go, I'd rather be Cummin' than Strokin'.
You dont even have a diesel truck??

LOL!!!........got that pnuematic oil extractor and my buddy at the dealership gets me the Castrol for $6.00 a quart.
After the first two 5K changes it jumps to 10K!!!
What's funny Captain, is that it's the first vehicle I've ever owned that after 10,000 miles I have had offers from people to buy it for MORE than original sticker....I guess VW doesn't have a diesel for '07.
The jury's still out if I like it or not.......it's almost the Duramax of small diesels; relitively quiet and doesn't smell but still hard to get over the sluggish off the line performance.
Dang DOHCmarauder, from the looks of your posts, you have a whole grip of toys......check out what I got...here goes
2005 ford diesel truck, a driveway,two bushes out front,a chocolate lab, a dinner table, a frozen chicken,grandfather clock,tan carpet (house and truck), white fridge, a tv, dvd,vhs,2 gizmachos, a birdbath in the backyard, a grey sweatshirt, 2 pairs of boots, a bed w/ sheets, jeans,some beer, 4 pictures (wall), a christmas tree, a barstool, fireplace, a few candles, a couch and a computer. I just thought everyone should know about everything that I own, even if its not a ford truck.
ok i have 06 250 psd no mods,
i was pulling onto the highway and spotted a pretty new dually dodge. He tried to pass me and of course i had to hit it, stayed ahead and he pulled in behind me. about a mile later i let him get beside me , we were only going about 60 and he looks at me with a big grin and slams the throttle so i do the same we got up tp about 95 and by that time he was right behind my tailgate(no traffic in sight). we get off the same exit and he gives me a smile and a wave....good sport! just thought id share, this is my first race with another diesel!
