So embarrassed!
I'm so embarrassed.
This whole time I thought I had a 300 I6 in my truck. How wrong was I!
I was passing a truck when my tranny kicked into OD and the rpm's dropped while I was accelerating. What did I hear? My Cummins comes to life! My windows were down. I could clearly hear my exhaust reverberating off the truck next to me, and the sound was that of a Cummins, no doubt in my mind.
Have to give credit to the Cummins. I've been giving it Gasoline for 4 years or so and it hasn't given me any problems! The funny thing is after I found out I have a Cummins the first thing I did was put a fresh tank of Diesel in my truck! Funny, my truck is running rough now.
My big question is why didn't the preivous owner tell me he swapped the motor for a Cummins?
Edit: This explains why my truck pulls so hard!

I'm just messing with you guys.
My point was that at a specific rpm my truck sounds nearly identical to a Cummins. The purpose of this thread was to joke around and see who else thinks a 300 can sound like a Diesel.

After some farther experimentation I've discovered my truck always sounds like a diesel excluding off-the line thrust and wot. Apparently whenever my truck is cruising it sounds like a diesel when I give it fuel. Pretty neat.
Here's a vid. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9KKTjrObAg&feature=channel_page See what I mean? Seems like it sounds more like a diesel now with the longer piping.
Nah, I was only at 1,500 rpm or so. Heh, my motor is probably just falling apart and I don't even know it.

Haha. One of the users on here straight piped his 300 with a 3'' pipe. I forget who it was, I wish he would post on here. Anyway he said he put a big ole' exhaust tip on the pipe and people would ask him all the time if he had a Diesel in his truck! I always thought that was pretty neat.
