car alarm

I set one off at work earlier this week. I pulled thru the parking lot and parked in an open parking spot, the dodge gasser next to me started going off ( it started crying 'cus the mighty Cummins scared it). i didn't think my "quiet" Cummins would do that .

"She replys "it's a diesel" oh he says."

The general public is oblivious to the Power of the big C!

There are three that I set off in our works parking garage daily.
Im not sure if its rumble of the Cummins or the bouncing of the concrete floor as I drive past.
Either way, one Audi, one Volvo, and a Honda CRV, everyday.

Maybe I should strait pipe my truck again so there would be no doubt what sets the alarm off!

I pulled into a quick stop so the wife could get a pepsi. A young gal sitting in her Mazda miada convertable, on the cell phone gives me a dirty look. Than she has the nerve to say ( can you shut that noisy thing off?) not will you please. So I said to her can't do it it's on a timmer. Told the wife about it when she came out we laughed about it half the way home.

any chance I get I give'r the ol the go pedal and brake... let the clutch out and idle around a bit then use some 'gentle' brake pressure while givin' it some go juice. sounds real nice and will turn heads...

I like the timer thing....does my 99 quad dualie come with one too? ...If so where is the button??
I haven't had the car alarms go off yet but I'll have to try it at the mall tomorrow
I put the E brake on lightly for the max knock effect. LOL A guy with an automatic put me on to that.

Here is a debate...which is louder? a 95, a 97, a 99 or 02?

haha, I know the kid goes to Western Iowa tech too, havent seen him for a while though. He totally bought it all, until i took it overboard, Im like dude, ( we have bolt down tow hooks in the bed) im like we have a wing attachment that bolts there. Flys kinda like those lil soap box planes. not far not fast but it flys. Hes like no way!. Then when everyone started laughin hel ooked around and goes, Well, what do you really do with them. Between the light smoke and everything he was convinced, Never even asked to see it. Finally we had mercy and explained the world of turbo chargers

I love the music that a GOOD Dodge Cummins makes! Just to add some spice try leaving your jake on. Most people hate that loud hissing noise!

I pulled into one of the Dodge dealerships in North Vancouver with my 98.5 dually,right beside a salesman and a customer that were standing outside. I left it idle (loudest at idle!) while I went inside to book an appointment. When I came back outside,the salesman smiled and asked " Hey,what motor you got in that thing?" I couldn't resist saying back to him," A 360 with a couple of bad lifters!"...SHEESH!!
