Thought I'd start a thread on this because we all have them. It doesn't have to be truck related. Let your inner Grinch shine.
I'll start with one that is thread related.
I HATE when peeps start a thread entitled something like "My truck stalls at stop signs, PLEASE help". Or "running rough at idle what gives".
Freaking TUNE it already. And if you don't know how, then LEARN.
It drives me nuts that they don't have the initiative to find out for themselves and want other folks to fix it for them.
OK I'm fine now.
Peace on earth, good will to all.

When you go to the gas station to fill up your gas tanks and you being a smart *** tell your girlfriend that it will take 26 gallons of gas to fill up with the back tank half empt...full... it has ethanol in it so half empty. She responds with no it will take 27... and shes right. Thats always a fun conversation on the way home.

It might have helped make up for "a rather unfortunate incident" earlier, but no biggie!
Thanks, Trey. It's the thought that counts!

I get what youre saying.. but that doesnt always apply. For us 7.3 guys random stalling is often a CPS going bad. And to a newbie he would have no idea what that is. But you have a valid point.

I don't particularly like them either. But that doesn't mean I am going to ignore their existence.
