I tend to have issues with cummins idiots too. The ONLY smoke stacks I have ever seen in my life on a pickup truck have always been on a cummins ram... no joke! Just saw two today, in WV none the less. And these cummins guys always seem to blow smoke when they want to show off.

I have run accross a few cool cummins guys but not many. Duramax guys seem to be pretty nice. Powerstroke... no problems ever.

I am assuming cummins trucks are cheaper than the rest and draw the younger crowd. I dunno.

rant compleate Thanks.
Your wrong! Its because cummins attract trailer trash like moths to a lightbulb.

Last week I followed a young guy who was driving an early PSD that had obviously been "chipped". He had a ridiculous 12" diameter stack in the center of the bed right behind the rear window. I laughed the whole time i saw him.

Somehow he must have missed that, or forgotten it, or lost it.
I find it disturbing when I see women driving a truck with the swinging nut sack.

Not sure about that, but there is none of any of it on my '94 F 250 Turbo Diesel. I believe I get a direct injection of testosterone from just driving it.

I love my dodge. It has a gruffer than stock open muff in back which gives a bit better mileage and power but would not have that if I had been able to find a new stock muff anywhere on short notice when it went south just before leaving on vacation a couple of years ago.
