I'm guilty as well. Is it normal to grin every time you drive the truck because you love the sound of the turbo singing away?

I drive the geo all week long, and if I don't get my PSD fix on the weekend I start seeing little furry creatures..

Lack of diesel induced Delirium Tremens!

My Name is Jason. And I have a problem. A big Problem.

Last week, after weeks of rain and snow we finally had a break here in the Northwest. The clouds parted, the sun beamed down on my pale skin. Time To wash the truck and go for a drive. So I get the truck all washed up. Months of winter grime washed away from the wheels, engine bay
- even the void between the bed and cab. Spic and Span.

Time to go for a dirve. I clamber up into my rightful perch about 5ft off the earth, and plot where I would go on my Avic navigation unit. Crank the Stereo, and away I proudly clatter in a cloud of deep black soot that quickly diminishes to a light gray haze as I watch the turbo spool up, 10, 20, 40, 45 and 48psi. Sun is out, Some CCR on the radio, Windows down, Tearing down my local backroads. Life is Great. My Ford Diesel and me. At one.

And as I am Passing a Jacked up Dodge with what has to be 10" exhaust, "dude, dude, dude, lookin out my back door" blaring out of the Eclipse speakers at full volume- My lovely and supportive wife walks up to my window and yells at me over the radio, You already blew your motor, are you trying to blow your stereo?

My Daydream quickly Shatters, and I remember I am still in my driveway, My engine strewn across Portland in various stages of prep, and a big hole where my heart should be. I mean my engine should be.

My Name is Jason, And I have Severe Swagger.

OK I think this new member to the support group really needs our help...Can someone send him another engine? He is starting to twitch and go into the fetal position.

We all need a CD recording of a PSD going through the revs with a good exhaust note for times when we can't drive. A hint of tire squeal in the background would make a nice touch

Hello I'm Darren and I have a problem too.
I bought my truck new in 2002 and kept it stock until the 5 years ran up for the warranty... but now I have discovered the dark world of modding. My wife and daughter are going out of town for a week in March and I can't wait to take a week's vacation just to work on my TRUCK!

Hi, I'm Joe and I also have a problem. It's PMS, Swagger, a PSD addiction all wrapped up into one package (F-350 SC LB 7.3L Lariat 4X4) I wasn't convinced until this morning when I walked out of the house to go to work looked at my car and then at my truck and thought what the FEBRUARY! It’s cold out here 17deg. Pushed the unlock button climbed in and turned the switch waited, waited then IGNITION! Let the cackle begin, hit the heated seat button and thought to myself why do I even own a car...
