lets see. ive heard some of the same others mentioned here earlier:
do you have a chip in it?
you got that banks system?
did your engine come with a turbo on it? yes. when did dodge start putting turbos on their diesels? um like over 50yrs ago dude.
ohh, thats a dodge? i thought that was a chevy. shut up!

and when i routed the crank case breather with a hose to just behind the transfer case every now and then you can see a lite smoke coming from it. a guy flagged me down on base a couple yrs ago and he was extremely upset. he yelled "dude your trucks on fire. its smoking from underneath" i got out and was initally worried; looked under saw no fire but the hose smoking ever so lightly. i said dude its my crank case breather. he didnt know what i was talking about and then he said "man that thing is loud, what kinda v8 is in that thing?" i said its a straight 6 v8. he looked at me funny and i laughed and drove off.

I use this all the time, but I put on 150 gals when I fuel. For some reason nobody wants to trade with me.

Had several people ask me what the whistling was and was I ever going to fix it...(uneducated friends)

Just got back from a rescue mission in a 2 mile mud trail and had a guy at the fuel stop ask "You take that thing off road?" replied:
"Nah, I wanted to paint it brown and mud is cheap."

Was hauling a highly Modified 1500 down to Montgomery on a 20Ft trailer and had a guy ask me if i Had trouble making it up the hills... I told him only when there's a Duramax In front of me and no passing lane...he drove an 05 Duramax...lol

You need a new carburetor to keep it from dieseling when you shut it off.
Your motors gonna blow can't you hear your rod knocking?
Do you plug it in at night to keep it charged up?
Wow 280,000 miles on your trucks engine must be getting pretty worn down.
Whats wrong with your truck you were blowing smoke.

When I got my first diesel a 99 2500 took it by to show dad. When I left mom said "did you hear how that thing sounded, he's going to have to have a brand new truck worked on because it sounded rough" Dad got a good laugh from that and now dad has a power joke and she drives it all the time, with a smile.

Yesterday while I had the preachers of my church in my truck delivering an organ, I pulled out in traffic and hit it... Had the trailer on the back, dry it weighs around 3k.... One of them was like... "Is the trailer still back there?"

"are those pipes real? or just for show?"
"that thing sounds like a semi"
"are those big stove pipes really neccesary?"
"you're gettin what, about 6-7 miles per gallon?"
"that turbo is huuuuge" (ricer lookin at my stock charger)
"why are there so many radiators?"

I pulled into a parking spot behind a woman with her young son in the car. After I got out she said her son asked her if it was his bus coming to get him for school.

This thread is too funny.

I've heard several times, "Hey man something is wrong with your truck, I saw it throwing out some black smoke. You should get that looked at." After a while I quit trying to explain it to strangers.

Not really a comment but an action. I was cruising down the street in the old 24V with 5" straight pipe, as I approached a bus stop the whole crowd stood up, then looked at me with a puzzled face....
