did something stupid today...
ok. my 03 dodge ram cummins h.o. is way more powerful than i thought. today when i was pulling into a parking lot i went to go turn left into a smaller parking lot and i gave my truck more gas than i should have, i didnt floor it put i must have gave it alittle bit too much gas....well the tires busted loose and the whole truck did a huge fishtail...... i cant even remember if i did give it too much gas or maybe something happen that shouldnt have happen. the only think i can think is that i was wearing shoes with a thicker soul... well after that i was very scared, and in shock. yes it is cool to some people my truck did this, but it scared the heck out of me and a guy came up to my truck and called me a (BEEP). i said i was sorry to him and anyone else that was mad because of it. Still as of right now my heart is pounding, my truck almost lost control and hit parked cars. i cant even recall what happen. Now i am worried to go back into that town because if someone called the police on me im afraid i might have some trouble. heres what i need to figure out on my own. 1) i would like to know how much gas i gave to see if i did give it too much gas or to see if something is wrong with my throttle. 2) i need to check my blood pressure because my heart will not stop pounding. :-[

Sit down, take a deep breath, and relax. :-
Welcome to the world of Cummins Diesel Torque.
A: You didn't hit anything. (did you?)
B: You seem to be obviously embarrased by what happened.
C: It's a new truck and will take some getting used to.
D: As for someone calling a police officer, they usually can't ticket unless they saw it.
You will learn by experience that the H.O. Cummins makes alot of power at a low RPM.
Small changes in throttle position, make larger changes in power than a gasser.
Just take it easy until you get accustomed to the power that's under your right foot..
