Brought the truck in for service today and heard the guy who pulled it in go "Man it's idling rough, think he needs a tuneup bad!"

"Nice diesel"
and
"Why would you drop a truck?"

To date... Go to pizza hut... Standing in line. "hey that sticker says "ls1truck""
I reply. Yeah it's a website for LS powered rides
"so it doesn't have a ls1"
No for now it's a 5.3. But it's is a LS motor. Cam intake bolt on's etc
"but it's not a LS1"
Correct
"what's it run"
Well best I've got is 13.8s
"my s10 is faster then that"
Oh really? What's done?
"nothing it's just the 4.3 v6" with a flowmaster
What track did you do this at?
"Prescott" (since none of you are from here that is a 8th mile track 1000 ft if your slow)
No my time was 1/4 mile
"mine was too"
Well let's run em.
"I sold it"
I just walked off...
Well I bought my truck in Texas and now live in KC so I'm always catching crap for my "Texas Edition" badges. People love to be smartazzez and ask me what makes it a Texas Edition so I love to give them a smartazz answer back myself like, "it has a full camo interior and beer dispenser" or a "deer tracker and a club to beat your wife", and then I walk off. Usually catches them off guard. Sarcastic pricks!
I used to get asked alot bout this in the red truck lol... They are like man thats only a vortec 350 im like ok shut hood and drive away lol... It erks md when craigslist ads say 350 v8 on nbs's or v6 for better fuel milage... My 5.3 murdered my brothers old sierra in that field with his gas saving v6...Quote:

I used to get that all the time with my white truck. That and "Why do you have a truck if you can't use it as a truck?" I guess by lowering it, I immediately became unable to haul anything.Quote:

I kinda enjoy it when people ask why I dropped it though because I'll usually give a technical response and they just stand there with a blank stare because they can't fathom that a lower center of gravity will actually help if you're hauling/towing something.Quote:

I took my cousins gf to the gas station once and I had jus cranked the truck so it was camming and shaking pretty hard, she asked "why is your truck shaking so much, its shouldn't do that its pretty new" I just laughed.
Waiting in line at mcdonalds I had the windows down and the cutout open, the wife in the passenger side said her eyes were burning and I was polluting the earth. She just rolled up her window as I was laughing histarically.
my truck is so strong, itll clear parking lots :lol: sometimes i gag at redlightsQuote:
