Hey dakar, ever heard the term "maximum smoke minimum efficiency"?
The electricians rolled out laughing one day here when they burnt up something and I walked by casually mentioning that phrase.
Oh yeah, back to the topic. I put a four inch down pipe on mine while in Missouri at Forest City Diesel last week and man what a difference. It was loud with the stacks before but it really barks now. I had about eight guys at the Va Diner about twist their necks off looking when I pulled out on 460 from my sons house yesterday. They didn't know what to expect.

Wife had the day off yesterday, so we went to run some errands.
Took the CTD, still had the 9' plow on due to snow for the past couple of days.
After a couple of hours of running around, the wife says to me,
"Do you notice that everyone stares at your truck? Like they are jealous"
Now listen up guys, this is how you make points.
To which I replied " I think that they are staring at you, like they are jealous"
She then hit me in the arm and said " Thank you, dear"

you guys need to go to a local race track, and check out the "diesel envy" there.
it's a major testosterone (sp?) battle, and it was cool, draggin in my buddies 8x24 enclosed trlr in the 04 CTD quad cab 4x4.
they even have the bigger setups park on one side, rigs in grass, race cars on concrete pads, and the small truck/trlr guys are in crap on the other side of the tracks!
the small time guys were eyeballing our rig something fierce!

ranks right up there with my second favorite;
When you have a stupid head....the whole body tends to suffer...
(something I seem to practice regularly)

I love the looks when you ask the guy at the gate where to register to drag race. Never fails they have a confused look on their face because there is no trailer or race car.
Whatcha gonna race?
This truck.
Uh, ok.

I had one of those moments this weekend. We went to a local cutting and there were plenty of powerleaks everywhere! When I pulled in, they all had to stop and look. Even during the cool down the outriders were staring! I think it could be the red paint or the sweet noise from the front. I do not care, I like it!

A guy that came to pick up one of my tractors this evening fell in love with mine when he heard the turbo whining out the end of those verticaly inclined exhaust outlets. You can really hear it since Kieth put that four inch down pipe on for me.

I have yet to hear someone complaing about my truck. Funny thing though is that I get more comments from girls about it than I do guys. Darn.
I've had people ask me to turn it off or that it's to noisy and what not, and I just sit there and grin.

Now the down side all of us are sharing, When I fill the tank lately, the attendant says I was looking for a big truck, a dumper or something, how many gallons does that thing hold? Just 34 and it cost $59+.
