The "Cummins Chirp" on shut-off...

I heard it on an F350 today and it was definitely not a Cummins Powerplant!!! These guys will do anything to be like us. I wonder how he makes it happen? Maybe he taped one of ours doing it and he had a big speaker in the bed of his truck......

Either that or he oiled his belt. Bet it squeals when he takes off so he can make everyone believe its burning out hardcore.


I imagine its just the compression on a more serious note lol, but I bet you knew that!!!

I love it when people ask me what he heck that sound is. Use to see a girl and she'd pause and look at me like she did something wrong when she turned it off. She did it like 3 times, women can't live with em... can't have smily face time without em .

Our INTL delivery truck at work does it too. I did not mention it because it is a real truck and it is expected....

Ever since I changes to my dual disk clutch mine stopped doing it. I don't know weights but I think it obviously weighs more and slows the dieing quiver (sp?) as a friend calls it.

Every diesel pickup I've heard shut off have that chirp. I think the belt chirps a bit.

OF COURSE YOU DID!
I wouldn't even trust a dude close to my buddies much less actually being over them
