Dodge Camaraderie

When passing fellow Dodge Cummins drivers I always wave or acknowledge them when passing by. Very rarely do they wave back. When I had my old Powerjoke I was always acknowledged by other Powerjoke drivers. Am I missing something?

Being that Im in Texas, I wave to every truck, every LEO, and anyone else who waves at me. But to the Cummins, especially 1st gens, a love tap of the go pedal.

I give the nod most the time but no response from other drivers. I to like putting a little black in the air when I see a Cummins with pillar guages

Does "One finger waves" from hybrid owners count?

I usualy wave to anyone I see driving a oil burner. A PowerStroke, DMax or a guy driving a Cummins. I tend to wave at more people driving a Cummins though.

I think I ruined my girlfriends thoughts on a Hemi driver. We seem to stare them down as we pass them, I got her to the point where she can now tell if it's a Hemi or a Cummins by looking at the back of the truck

I also noticed that in my small town of less then 2k people pretty much everyone waves. The next big down over(over 20k people) hardly anyone waves at you, unless you see someone from your town.
