Tassles are cool. I have some hanging off my mirrors.
Nothing cheesey or lame for my truck, no way.

Come on, not all Ford owners are JAs. On the highway I'll move over into the next lane if possible to let any vehilce merge. I don't car if it is a car, pickup or a big truck. One ting I do hate is some jerk trying to be so close behind me all I can see is possibly the shadow on the road. Keith

They just don't realize that Ford owns Cummings!

Cummins, however, is not!

my truck is kind of a sleeper, and boy do i love when some fancy lifted furd gets on my tail. hit the lock-up switch, and watch them disappear. i try to keep myself from doing it, but some guys just ask for it. i had a guy in a duramax smoke me out one day, when i passed him, i think he was expecting me to flip him off or try to race him, but i just smiled and gave him him a thumbs up. have to give a guy props for a v8 that keep up.

No lockup switch. The convertor is locked at 40mph with a programmer. If I let it lug down a bit then stomp the skinny pedal it smokes like driving a manual trans.

Wannadiesel pointed me to this site. I try my hardest to not be a JA. If I do just B**** slap me.

I do see some of you post questions about to 6.0. If I can help I do or point them to the proper places.

Surprisingly there are a few threads here for help with issues on the Fords.
So thanks for the thick skin and helping us out.

They do seem kinda cocky sometimes. If they wanna play, I'll play, but seriously, they can get really bitter sometimes. And this forum definately is the best!

No, they pull up next to me at the T/A and are dumb enough to ask me about my fuel economy as we both fill the tank. I offer to show them the logbook, and brother, they leave me faster than they left you.

I know better than to miss with Dodge with a Cummins because one can never tell what is lurking under the hood or how heavy the driver's right foot is. I figure even though we drive different brands we have 1 thing in common they are diesels. A little harassment between friends is OK. I do have fun with ricers that think they are part of the fast and furious crowd. Keith

" I do have fun with ricers that think they are part of the fast and furious crowd" amen to that. i had some goof ball staging up next to me at a light. he should have had both windows down. when i left him, a cloud of smoke went through his window and rolled off the passenger side window into his face. his eyes had to be watering. i felt bad, but maybe a good lesson for being obnoxious

It doesn't matter which side they are on. I have duals. It is freaking hilarious to watch the smoke go in 1 side of the car and out the other when both windows are open. Keith

Are you trying to say something

I dont race in town anyway unless its out in the country.


Honestly in the North Texas area i have alot more cummins that always want to play rough...more than ps's and duramax's but more duramax's than ps's.
