So I've been noticing myself doing some stuff lately that classifies me as a Powerstroke addict. I figured I'd make a list kind of like Jeff Foxworthy's "You might be a redneck if" list.
So you might be a Powerstroke addict if:
You love driving under an overpass or next to a building because you can hear the sound of your exhaust bouncing back off it.
You refer to your truck by name
Everyone else knows your truck's name and refers to it as such
You tell people you went somewhere with your baby, but were referring to your truck and not your wife/date.
You spend more time with your truck than you do with your family.
You joined an online forum just for Ford trucks.
You joined a Powerstroke addicts support group.
Maybe I'm over-tired and being retarded maybe you guys will have some good ones to add. Time will tell.

You sit around the campground with your diesel buddy and without even looking at the driveway you can identify the sounds of all the major diesel trucks. " yep, here comes a 12Valve. I hear a 7.3 with a rattling TC. Here comes a 6.0. there goes a 5.9CR. Dura What?"
You find youself looking at the drivers side pillar of every truck you pass to see if they have guages....

I have a data log book I carry in the truck, detailing where and when I fill up, how much it costs per gallon, total cost, total gallons, odometer reading, trip odometer reading, and MPG, with any necessary notes written along the side of each fill-up entry.
The first couple pages are the specifics of the truck, where I purchased it, when, the odometer reading when I took delivery, what was already on the vehicle (gooseneck, exhaust, intake, etc), what the vehicle booked out at (high bluebook and low), the purchase price, the loan obtained and from where, terms of the loan and last date of payoff, etc.
I also have an Excel spreadsheet detailing every mod and maintenance I do on the truck, listing the date and mileage a particular mod was done, or maintenance item, along with a quick note/summation of the work done.
I do that to see if I can find anyone that might be willing to "play" a little!

Stewart, you have a sickness my man, a real and for true sickness, no doubt about it.
I have one for y'all.
-You are talking to a guy with a late 1990's Dodge Cummins that he is obviously very proud of, and you use the line " Nice motor with a really bad delivery crate wrapped around it" and you don't care what his reaction is.

I keep a maintenance log on all my other vehicles too, but I'm not anywhere near so **** with any of the other vehicles, including my Lightning, like I am with my F250.

Do this also, but change to a lower gear to **** off the other drivers in the tunnel, especially if there is one I a damn rice burner LOL) to the right of you and you pace yourself where your tailpipe is right at their driver's door window.

Put the A/C on max with the blower on high! Much, much better smoke results on the rice burners!

My name is David, and I am a Powerstroke Addict....
Just yesterday while leaving Ardmore, AL...there was a Dodge 1500 with duals running out back....there is a small echoing tunnel under a set of train tracks, and this gasser guy thunk he would make some racket under the tunnel....
Well, long story short, i almost made him wreck from the head twist when i got on "Bit Mo'"...all while being loaded with a mattress, couch, loveseat, whicker routan, and a gas grill strapped to the bed....hehehehehehehe....there's just no substitute for that bellow we get, and yes it is a powerful drug...
I need some support from my FTE family....Bit Mo' turns 300k in 112 miles as of tonight when i parked it....30k a year, double the national average for miles driven per year....yeah, that sounds about right....
