Ask him if he's cleared Bravo One Romeo Delta. Old ATC humor.










That'd be written as B1RD.

..... when your girlfriend's youngest daughter asks you, "Do they put 6.0L engines in UPS trucks?" explaining the reason for the question is because she saw a UPS truck, and paused and stared at it due to the sound of the engine being very familiar to her. As it turns out, yes some UPS trucks do run a Navistar chassis with the VT365.

When you buy a 6.0 with a shelled out engine, just to try and talk your husband into letting you rebuild it yourself.. you might own more than 1 or 2 6.0's...

And he has a cow when you tell him you WILL paint it PINK under the hood

If my wife bought her own truck, and built her own motor, she could paint it what ever color she wants, and I'd even help with the wet sanding.

..... If your main reason for cleaning off all the snow and ice from the hood is just in case you need to work on it.

if you've taught your wife to watch the oil pressure gauge, then count to five before putting in gear...

When the dealer call you for parts, and tech support, you might own a 6.0

Hahahaha, too true. I can count two separate personal posts a year apart where Tor has talked me down off a ledge thinking my heads were gone and I was dumping gallons of coolant out the tailpipe.

When at every camp trip you go on or any other place where large numbers of truck people are, or even at your local mechanic's: you pull out your phone and fire up Torque and proudly show the screen after screen of gauges you have, carefully explaining why each one is important and all about cascading problems.

And then look up and everyone has glazed over looks on their faces and asks: but why do you need all that?!

You just might own a 6 liter.

And then one guy off your shoulder says: "man that is so cool!" -- you know that he definitely owns a 6.0
