You know you drive a cummins when....
I have seen this done on some other sites, its usually pretty fun, feel free to keep it going!
1. Your tired of explaining to people that your truck does not use glow plugs...
2. Headlights dimming at start up don't even register in your brain anymore
3. You explain several times a week that your 12V doesn't have a "chip"
4. You know what a chaikwa is and how to use it.
5. You have heard of a BHAF
6. You know what P0216 means, and you don't even own a 24v
7. You have followed " the adventures of Cincydiesel" with great interest
8. You consider anything under 300 000 miles to be " low miles"
9. You develop a nervous twitch when people say "cummings"
10. There are oil spots on your driveway or garage floor...

11. You have repaired or replaced every major system or component on your truck except the engine.
12. "When that truck rots and falls off around the motor, I'm gonna buy another truck, and put the motor in the new one."
13. More than once, you've said "No, it just has a bad knock. Been that way since I got it."
14. You think people who aren't running a dual disc clutch just don't have their heart in it.
15. You have ever sheared a 35 spline axle, unloaded.
16. You won't buy an Eco-Boost, because your 20 year old truck is paid for and gets better mpg.
17. You have ever raced a newer truck up a mountain highway, flat-towing another truck, just to prove a point.
18. You firmly believe that the smallest axle that should come in a truck is a Dana 60.
19. You have ever said, "When I let the clutch out, some part of that other truck is coming with me."
20. You didn't notice that the trailer you were pulling had the brakes locked up until the tires popped.
21. Your neighbors know when you get off the highway after work.
23. When Ford and Chevy owners tease you about your slow truck, you show them an allen wrench and say "Don't make me embarrass you."
24. You have scale tickets and photos proving you can put more than 4000 lbs in the bed of your truck.

26. When you get the "Hey mister, your truck is smoking pretty bad, you should get that checked out."
27. When you could sell your truck for almost what you paid for it 100,000mi ago.
My wife just noticed for the first time last week that the grid heater dims the lights! (She's been driving the truck daily since 2008!)
To her credit they dim alot more, it's due for batteries.

Some gasser driver comes up and a asks "What do you tow with that big truck?"
My answer was "So far, everything I've hooked up to the trailer hitch."

Lost count, but two things I always like about my work truck was taking off in the gravel lot and the truck spins the duals 20 feet after you started and never changed the peddle position.
The other thing is the height of the truck put the bumper just above most peoples hood. swing a turn wide and watch people freak out...
