I love this truck

:D :D Excellent.... Could not ask for much more than that...:ro)

Lol

SWEET!

Family members seem to have no sense of humor when it comes to these things.):h

You Got It Bad!!!!!

EXCELLENT 2500HD04!!! I could just visualize seeing myself doing this as I read your post. I think we "ALL" have got it bad! LOL :D :D :D

You know, I just couldn't stop myself, I was sitting there and this thing just took over my body. This big shCensoredt eatin grin came on my face and my foot went to the floor!(The Dmax Devil made me do it) Is there such a thing as the D-Max fever :D or some other desease. I find myself just sitting in the truck while it is in the garage. Is this normal ? Constantly going over to the door and looking in the garage just to see the truck? I may need need therapy :) I think I will go for a ride, it is the only cure.


I would have to say the 3rd son who is twelve was cheering. He thinks dad is cool.

Maybe we could make this the thread where all pricless moments can be put. All the great stories of toasting rice burners to blowin away power pukes. Or, I even read one about a mercedes. Awhile back I think it was Mackin smoked some guy on the freeway, these are all great moments! Does any one else have a Mastercard moment they would like to share.

To me all that is VERY normal. I have tried real hard not to burn up my rubber lately...though last time I did it was in front of the oyster business I manage,(great example), and who comes around the corner but one of our local finest. He just shook his head as we passed each other.

I don't quite have it as bad as you - but I do *love* my truck. I don't know why, or what it is. I just love it. I love the size, the ride, how it drives... and now with the diesel, I just can't get enough of the whistle :)

I've had a new car every year since I was 16 (I'm 27 now.) Always been some kind of sports car... from 2 turbocharged Dodge Omnis (hence my screenname), to a BMW, a Corvette Z06, a 400hp Eagle Talon, and a bunch of other crap in-between. None of those cars have been as enjoyable to drive as my full-size Chevy truck. I've owned some sort of full-size Chevy for the past 3 years (a '99 Z71, an '02 Z71, and now the '04 DMax.) Essentially the same vehicle for 3 years - that's a record for me, by FAR.

Never in a million years would I have guessed that I'd be a truck owner. Now... I don't think I'll ever be WITHOUT one.

Just in case anyone is worried about the wife standing with arms folded( and I know all of you are) I am a seasoned veteran of THE LOOK ! I know the exact time to turn so the lazers miss

A month ago I wanted to take my 04 R1 for one last ride befor winter. I notisted the back tire had a leak, and the tread was pritty much shot in the middle. I guess with 180hp and cat walking to 180km on the back tire will do that. Anyway I call my mom [my parents live across the street from me]over with the vidieo cam and tell her to start shootin. I parked on the side walk and letter rip. Man you should have seen the smoke, I literaly filled the hole block with smoke some guy turned on the street just as i finished and i could barly see his head lights he gave us a dirty look as he drove by i think i couldnt rilly see through all the smoke that was *****in awsome

OmniGLH, That is exactly what I think, I like the smell of the interior , the smell of diesel in the garage, it's almost like a drug. I can't wait to get home and drive it, need anything dear, I'll be glad to go. What a truck!!!

The worst time I got the look was when the wife ask what the little box was on the dash (Attitude). She then asked what it does. After 10 min of enthusiastic explanation of all that it does and how much better the truck runs. She had to ask what did ya pay for it. Being caught after the excitement of the explanation I replied with the real price I had payed. I know, that was stupid. I was then given the look along with " YOU PAID THAT MUCH FOR A ********* TOY ".
Needless to say my truck and I have spent many a night together since then. I guess when I get my tranny done I should go ahead and put up curtains and a bathroom in the backseat. The Duramax is a drug and I'm a junky

Hey burkm and 2500HD04,
I'm in the same boat and think we all need some therapy. Too bad they can't cure us):h . I borrowed a Juice w/ attitude, from john@dps, the last 2-weeks. The only thing I can say is, Hi my name is Greg and I have a problem with HP. I had the juice in #2 with my Hypertech @ 90hp and my guarding angle couldn't keep up with the truck.:ro) :ro)

There are three prices you pay, What you paid, what you tell her you paid, and the price you pay when she finds out the real price!

:D :D Excellent.... Could not ask for much more than that...:ro)
A VIDEO would have been better :D

Video of what, the toe taping, arms folded, shaking head or the smoke going down the street ? ):h

There are three prices you pay, What you paid, what you tell her you paid, and the price you pay when she finds out the real price!
Oh, brother, are YOU ever right!!!! LMAO!! Hence my signature! ):h If she ever found out the real prices, I'd be sleeping in my truck!


My wife even comments to me "You sure love that truck a lot"

Took the kids for a couple test passes after I got my Juice/Attitude and Bullydog installed and running right...afterwards they both said "Dad, can we go FAST again??"


Tom :eek:

I love being unmarried.....no one to answer to):h I buy the toys I want with no regrets and no worried of having to sleep on the floor/couch etc. Keep it up guys I love the stories. Makes me want to juice the new LLY even sooner:D

Take it one step at a time or one mod at a time. In my case
1. Lift-Wheels&tires
2.Truck
3.Nerfs, mudflaps,tint.etc
4.Exaust
5.Intake
6.Juice,predator-more power
7.Who knows after that
I'll get it where I want it some day, unfortunatly Im still recovering from the exaust bill ):h

9W3-HD,

You bought the lift and the wheels and tires before you bought your truck?!?

Now thats confidence in yourself and what you're going to buy!!

Priceless!


Tom :eek:

I had the lift,wheels&tires about three months before my truck came in. I knew if I ever bought a HD I would eventually lift it, so the way I looked at it...why wait. And one thing I can say is installing a lift on a brand new truck is just plain awesome. Everything came apart so easy it was actually fun putting it on. Ball joints, torsion bars, knuckles everything came off like you see it on "Trucks".
If you might remember back Im the one that ordered a new DMAX, waited three months for it to come in and the dealer filled her up good ole Unleaded :mad:, and they couldn't figure out why I rejected it.

Dealer: What do you mean you don't want it.It's only a little unleaded. Now that is Priceless

There was a guy at work starting to talk trash about my Dmax, he has a powerchoker.
He wanted to race for a hundred bucks, I said OK lets go. Then he says " I've got a 100 horse chip" and I say " I don't care lets go" then be started backing out on the race. Its been over a month and everyone at work has been giving him a hard time. He always talk crap about anything and everything.

So about a week ago me and the wife drive past his house and I stop and start smoking the tires in front of his driveway and leave two 20 or so feet black strips. She looks over at me and gives me "THE LOOK". I just look at her and say "what? I was just messing around." Then I tell her the story and she just shakes her head and said "you boys and your toys"

Needless to say he doesn't talk crap about my Dmax anymore.

That's what I'm talkin about, great story, great way to start the day with a good laugh.
Almost 700 views and not that many stories. I think some of you are holding out on us.

Ok, Juice story:

This summer, after I got the Juice installed and after the tranny relearn period, my wife and I were out on the town one evening. It had been raining most of the day. She had been asking me what the "little box" was on the dash. I had been trying to explain to her that it was to help increase power, but she just didn't get it. Exasperated, I round a corner and hit the go-pedal, and I start to walk the truck sideways. She just looks at me very calmly and says, "Honey, shouldn't you stop doing that before you hit something?" I told her thats what the box helps me do...more power! She just says, "So it gives you enough power to be an idiot now?"

Another wife story:

Roni had to take my truck to work so I could work on her Blazer. She's told me in the past that she doesn't like driving it because its too big. Well, she tells me later that "the truck is too big to fit in our parking spaces at work" and that everyone wanted to know who's huge red truck was that? She had to park it out back where it would fit. Also, she got thumb's up from a guy on the highway and another that gave her a dumbfounded look at a stoplight.
"Little woman in big crew cab"!!! I asked her if she enjoyed herself, and she says, "You know, I actually did." Another convert--finally.


Tom

Tom,

You're going to have to get her one now. . His n Hers Dmaxes wouldn't be a bad thing, you know. . . .

Dennis

Racing a city cop and winning in my old truck(82 SB 4x4 built 454).

Doing a burnout pulling out of the grocery store at night and watching cars drive around the smoke in the wrong lane.

Passing every car going up a 6% grade pulling a 5000lb trailer with 37" tires.

Driving past a set of black marks everyday I left 3 months ago on the heavily travelled road to my shop.

Showing some kid at the gas station in a rice rocket what a three gera diesel burnout is all about.

I wonder if that cop stillworks for the city and wants a rematch?

Ok here's my story: One day after owning my Dmax for a few months I mention to the wife how great this diesel power is and she agrees with me. I tell her I have an opportunity to be a LLY Edge Beta tester (I then explain what that is). After explaining this to her, I get "The Look". She says WHY, I already have lots of power!
I tell her it's a guy thing. So I go ahead and and get the Beta juice and one day after I have the final retail version we go for a trip pulling my 9K TT. As I'm passing a trucker up a 6% grade, suddenly a car from the other direction shows up. I nail it and safely return to my lane. No I did not get "The Look" instead she says: WOW this truck really does have even more power now doesn't it? I just look at her and smile.......):h :D

I bought my Juice last year and didnt tell my wife right away. One night we were headed out and she noticed the attitude in the overhead console.

What is this, she said? I said it helps me get better MPG and monitors some key things of the truck. She said uh-huh, you love your truck too much! She gave a little THE LOOK and I quickly changed the topic.

A few weeks later, we were heading somewhere again and came to a RED light with a ricer next to us. I, without thinking, bumped it up to level 5, power boosted and left him in the dust. Needless to say, caught red handed, explained with a proud grin, more of the boxes features.

Now ,he makes me show our friends, when they are with us, what a boosted launch feels like. (like my brother and sister-in-law this weekend) (left a 40' patch)

To me, this is priceless.

Now to figure out how to take the Christmas bonus for a tran upgrade. :)

2500HD04, if you have no more credit on that card you may have to put a ribbon on the hood of your truck and wish mama and the kids "Merry Christmas"! ):h

You know we could always tell our wives we had the option of purchasing those "enlargement pills we see on the internet" or buying the mods, same result! :) JJ

I Thought just a pic of the truck under the tree. A ribbon would be a nice touch

Being single is rough!! The only "look" I get is from my friends. It's the "Eyes wide open jaws on the floor:eek: with tons of tire and exhaust smoke behind us" look.:cool: They are always telling me I spend too much money on it, I tell them they don't have to ride in it then. Their reply "Ha ha ha, Do another burn out"!!

Sweet story, check this one out. 6 people in my truck, go to bar for dinner and drinks. My wife is sober cab. Get back to our friends house, still with 6 people in truck, watching Bad Boys 2 on the DVD player, friends just moved into house 3 days ago, road is wet, tell wife to do a brake stand in front of friends new neighbors, since we don't live there,who cares):h , smokes tires for 10-15 seconds and we take off down the street. I was so proud!

I know what you guys are talking about every time I come to this forum it cost between 100-200 bucks, but I use Visa

Don,

100-200? Man you need to spend some more time! Heh heh, I don't even want to know where I'm at. . . ):h

'The Look'
Sheesh you guys are gettin old. LOL

The Proper Respectful term is SWMBO or OHONSE
(She Who Must Be Obeyed) or (Obey Her Or No Sex Ever)

The OHONSE sounds almost like and oriental term of respect..... and they will believe it too.... that is the best part

Juice....... "The Proper Respectful term is SWMBO or OHONSE
(She Who Must Be Obeyed) or (Obey Her Or No Sex Ever)"
You call that respect? If she is like that, kick'er to the curb on Wednesday.:rolleyes:

People are going to think I'm nuts ----- looking at a computer monitor --- laughing UNCONTROLABLY ----- with tears running down my face!!!!! YOU GUYS ARE A SCREAM!!!! PRICELESS!!!:ro)
