When Mama JJ and I purchased her, err I mean our truck back in June 04 it was a very happy moment. :) The truck had incredible power and was staged to pull me and Mama JJ and our 5ver around the country. Expensive yes, but we had the dealer put all the options on it we wanted and threw that in the deal to avoid buying them later. We were both VERY HAPPY with the stock LLY. :)

Then in September I was cruising the internet looking at various diesel sites and somehow found myself on "The Diesel Place" website. Interesting reading, the guys provided a lot of valuable information, and there was a lot of useful information that I could use to maintain my truck. Friendly to! So I filled out their online form and joined this happy band of clean cut, 100% god fearing American diesel truck owners. Little did I know they had plans for us? :o I fear I'm not alone with the rest of my story? :eek:

It began with the little stuff, i.e. when to change fluids; what kind of oil to use; shocks; etc. The DP members provided a lot of assistance/direction to me since I am "meck-a-nickel-ally" challenged. Turns out this is their "MO"! They befriend you with advice, then pursuade you to buy something small like an air filter, shocks or something similar knowing all along they are going to drain your wallet later on. Sound familiar to anyone else out there? :confused:

First I purchased a Unifoam filter from one of their so-called "DP Vendors". These are just the distributors, not the pushers. Next I purchased a set of Rancho RS9000 shocks with in-cab controller, the DP boys convinced me the OEM's were a piece of crap. I wonder just how much of a "kick-back" they got on that? Now I was finally done, OR SO I THOUGHT? ):h

Somehow they lured me onto their "Power and Performance" site, this is where they sell the hard stuff. I was perfectly happy with my HP/TQ, the truck pulled my 5ver just fine, I WAS HAPPY! Turns out this is where they do the most damage. ):h It appears the way they operate is to provide you with some little piece of information to "make your truck run better". In my case it was diesel additives. I never planned on using them, my owners manual says I don't need to, but somehow they pursuaded me to start using it. This was the beginning of my addiction. I don't recall which pusher got me: McRat, DP, MP2, TxChristopher??? But they are all the same with one thing on their mind: ADDICTING PEOPLE TO MORE POWER!!!! :cool:

I'm afraid this was the beginning of the end for me. They convinced me I needed an aftermarket programmer/tune so the E/J with attitude went in last week. So I set it to level 1, just to try it! OH MY GOD! Ooooooohhhh, the rush, the pulsation of my foot on the pedal, sorta like someone gave me a hit of speed or something! ):h The power is addictive, but what it makes you do to other drivers on the road is scary???? :eek: Silverado SS pulls up next to me, revs his engine, my hand strokes the attitude. Come to daddy, power level 2 should do the trick! BYE BYE SS. :ro)

But there are 3 more power levels I can't touch without buying more of their stuff: bigger exhaust, tranny upgrade, high flow air filters, water injection systems, etc. Mama JJ wants a hot tub, JJ's looking at exhaust! ):h Looks like hard times ahead! Dang DP! ):h

I'm posting this with the hope that other unsuspecting soles like myself don't get addicted to the awesome power these trucks are able to produce. I tried to cancel my DP account but got the shakes! Doctors are miffed! Guess I'm in for the long haul. If I can help just one person not to get addicted like I did this post has been worth it.

Hmmm, I need a fix, got to go for a drive. Later. JJ :)

..........Drooling.. sounds about right, samething happened here too. i thought that the hypertech was enough power at 90 hp---yeah...right! dang you dp!!

Now you got me wanting one of those power boxs.):h

PSSST.Hey buddy, come over here, I got something I want to show you.:eek:

Well, ya know....if I've got money to burn, I figure there are worse things out there to waste it on.:rolleyes:

Besides....this is my mid-life crisis vehicle! http://dieselplace.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=952

YA... what he said!:ro) :ro) :ro)

I like that... very entertaining!

I know what you mean.....I was just surfing the net looking for options for a tool box / aux fuel tank and ran into "The Diesel Place"....so far I haved not got my tool/tank, but I do have a juice/attitude installed! ):h ....now after reading the many posts it appears that when I put in the aux tank I also want additional filters and a lift pump :cool: , not sure where this will stop for me now!

Enjoying the heck out of it!

I'm one of those who bought a diesel specifically for performance. I wanted a fast truck, but the Lightning, SS Silverado, and SRT-10 weren't "truck" enough for me.

After doing a bit of research, a diesel seemed to fit the bill, and so far it has proven to be correct.

My motto: If it an't broke, fix it till it is.

JJ you are definately NOT alone. :D Started with bilstiens from JK, and now I find myself saving for a tranny upgrade. Wife just doesn't understand why I am always on this site, she tells me I have to stop reading threads from "that Got Juice guy" :rolleyes: . I think the "who's yo froggy" :ro) post was the one that sent her over the edge. WOMEN no Censored sense of humor

Let's start a " whos your froggy " club.:cool: Bumper stickers would be cool.

ROTFLMAO- I agree 100% JJ, 1st truck was fine, but the bug got me, air intake, exhaust, edge, revo's, now I go and get a new truck and the "equipment" starts showing up before the truck was here, talk about a few raised eyebrows at Blizzard's house, What a new truck is't good enough for all that $$, you need to change it why??? The answer is M O R E POWER is a GOOD thing!!:D :D :D :D

thanks Dieselplace!

she tells me I have to stop reading threads from "that Got Juice guy" :rolleyes: . I think the "who's yo froggy" :ro) post was the one that sent her over the edge. WOMEN no Censored sense of humor
:eek: What?):h

Hello.....My name is Joe.....and I'm a dieselholic :mad:

I'm still here reading this crap and its midnight, wife's in bed..........I don't have a problem do I?............Rick

can well remember the day my road to additions really began ... it was two years ago on a beautiful day in September at Terry's Northeast Diesel Gettogether when I met Mac :D :ro) :D and it has been growing ever since

Jim

I know exactly what you mean!!I just put an Exhaust on mine,NOW I want the guage package,THEN maybe some more Power[chip].I guess I'll eventually have to get the Trans. done.......Glad I have alot of Equity in my Home!!):h

If we all had only known what we were getting into when we signed onto the DP site! ):h Maybe they should post some kind of a disclaimer when you sign up that participation on this site can, and most likely will: monopolize much of your time; cause significant others to question who/what you love most; have you sporting a "diesel chubby" while driving; seriously kick your finances in the ass; and have you driving like a teenager again! :D

Brutis, each of us has to deal with their diesel addiction in their own way. I find driving in level 2 temporarily relieves my symptoms, that is until I can go to level 3,4,5... AAAAAAhhhhhhhhh! OOOOOOOhhhhhhh the pain!! EEEEEwwww, the pain! JJ's out, again! :)

That was some good reading for sure!


I've known it for awhile,see sig! :D

Oh so true, all of it is so true :D :ro) :D

Im glad that addiction never got me):h..............I just did it for the chicks:ro)

My motto: If it an't broke, fix it till it is.
Words to live by :ro) :cool: :ro)

The funny thing is, I haven't taken delivery of my D/A yet and I'm already planning more ways to drain the wallet.

Thanks DP :rolleyes:

I do have to say this is a great site :cool:

Cain't help it I have a addictive personatly.
I NEED SPEED :ro)

JJ your post is "too late" for me and others too I'm sure, but it may help others in the future. BUT is the best thing since sliced bread as they say! THANK YOU DP. :ro)

Cain't help it I have a addictive personatly.
I NEED SPEED :ro) Wait I'm not an addict I don't go to the meetings.
Anyone got a connection in the southeast for JUICEGRIPS!!

Harf! Funny stuff! I'm glad that I'm only a "social dieselholic" and can stop any time. I mean, I've only got a muffler, and a Megafilter, and er... ah some gauges, and umm... a Juice Attitude, and...... Alright! Okay! I'm an addict!

PRICELESS!:ro)

Life is best experienced a 1/4 mile at a time.... everything else is just waiting:ro)

I thought you all wore "long johns" up there Juice?????

I know the feeling of the addiction. I have hours of homework that i need to do but i find myself sitting on the computer either reading posts or talk to other members!! Do I have my priorities in order?? I think was got me hooked was when I first saw Tomac pull in Stanford, KY. Then out of curiosity I visited his website....big mistake!! After watching a couple videos, I was hooked. Oh well, guess it could be worse...I could be on lucky number "5", eh Juice?

LOL.....#5 has to live... and soon it will be regulated to 'spoolin big momma' duties
it should live a long life then..... Rumour has it DTT is gonna put billet hard lines on my wastegates so they cannot be Juicegripped(TM)):h

The thing I can't stand is the mileage improvement. It never seems to happen ( predator 65). No matter how careful I drive I can't help but stomp on it everytime I get bored. This site will cause you to miss some home time but "MAN" the power is there.

Guys,

Like some addicts.. some have an detox time.. they get either ordered after getting a dui.. (that still applies here) or voluntary going in... ...


Does that mean we would have to drive a gasser again?????

Now we really have an issue ….

Pete

JJ:


This is nothing. Once you attend a dyno day and a drag race, oh, and don't forget to do some sled pullin' , your bank account will be headin' down :drop_mout

I understand everybody's pain completely!

I miss my old LB7 with the Edge attitude.....Just last night me and the G/F where leaving Culvers when a group of unsuspecting high school girls are outside in the cold in dresses....rather short ones to add):h I started giggling like a little school girl. At this point the G/F is laughing she knows whats up. Fired up the LLY backed her up right next to the group of dingbats and did a nice little brake stand for them):h I need the Juice not enough smoke to clear them out:( I'll get em next time:devilfing

My motto: If it an't broke, fix it till it is. :grd:

My name is Bud, and I too am a Dieselholic.

JJ,

If we only would have known before we clicked that little button . . . :eek:
Guess we are all hooked . . . :muahaha:
Need more POWER . . . :help:


I've spent money on cars, women and now my truck, the rest I just wasted . . .

:grd:

There is strength in numbers.;) Mama JJ doesn't seem too sympathetic to my addiction. Her logic is she drives the truck more than I do and she doesn't feel a thing? :rolleyes: Girls??? ):h

Oh, seems I forgot to tell her about the Trippin ATS mount I ordered for the attitude. Dang thing showed up while I was out of town. I told her it was going to be a surprise! ;) I've never kept secrets from here until now. This is really going to make it that much harder to break the news to her about the WI system I want!!! ):h

Hmmmm?? Pay the bills or buy a mod?? An addicts dilemna! :D JJ :)

I am glad I dont have the same problem as all you addicts.....

I am glad I dont have the same problem as all you addicts.....
Yeah, you don't have the problem that we addicts have because you're a PUSHER MAN!:muahaha:

I am sooo stealing that for my sig.

I'm not the addict, I'm just the enabler. Pace is going to be the only one who will come home from deployment and not have that much money saved. The truck will have lots of toys though. I'm going to be evil and only send him upclose shots of what's been put on, no full view.:muahaha:

Deployed?? If he makes it back ( and we all hope he does ) he will have a great, fun toy, thanks to you :cool2:

One thing I learned a long time ago "A Hot Rodder Will Modify Anything"! Car, Truck Wifes Suburban, Lawn Tractor, Snowblower, Kids bikes, Chainsaw,It don't Matter We are Hotrodders! Itstarted With Me inhaleing Cam 2 And burned rubber! Now I inhale Black Smoke!

I Am a Diesel Addict!!

God dam I need a beer!

Hi , I'm Dock Rocket and I'm a Dieselholic. It happened when I smoked my first Dodge. He had propane BD,filter,ect. I just had an e/j w *** and a lead foot. Now I have a full blown addiction and need more tranny. WANT'N more powerfull drugs and a New trans. Whata I do?

I have a real problem! Just got my diesel last month. Have a Harley! I Don't know which way to go? And you don't want to talk to my wife!

JJ,
It's not to late for you....you can still kick the habit...as long as you havn't lined up at the lights, hooked to a sled or strapped on the rollers you will be OK. For some of us it is too late...but I know you can do it...

I have a real problem! Just got my diesel last month. Have a Harley! I Don't know which way to go? And you don't want to talk to my wife!


I feel your pain, got the truck,2 harley's no more room in the garage and no money :help:

"JJ,

Don't worry WanaDmaxsub, with God as my witness I swear I will never hotrod or race my Duramax no matter how many mods I put on it!!!!! ):h

I should start a poll to see how many of you addicts out there uttered those same words just before you started down the slippery slope! :exactly:

From what I have been reading on the DP my osmosis into a "diesel power addict" is right where the pushers want me!! :muahaha: I am afraid I to am well on my way to seeing the "light"(s). Now where's that water injection system and my credit card??? Somebody stop me, PLEASE!!! :eek: JJ ):h

I started with a regular juice box. I set it to level 1 to train the trany and thought holy:eek: !!! This is way more power than I need. No way will I want more than 90hp......that lasted about a week......Upgraded trans and on to the 125 juice/attitude. Well this is nice(happy for about a day) Then got the hot juice(happy for the ride home) Now I'm borded with the TTS. I took a bud for a ride and asked him if I was nuts or if she didnt seem to pull as hard(I didnt know if i was nuts, there was an issue, or it was the brick in the bed and the fact I was weighing around 8k) He told me I was nuts.

Since i duno if it will ever be fast enough I may just be wise to sell off all my performance goodies and run it stock. Keep myself outa trouble that way. Then i can get back to building my Chevelle. I wont stop till it scares me:D

i am a diesel addict and i have never hooked up to a sled yet. in fact i don't even have a truck yet .... let alone a diesel.... i watched them pull at a local town ....can't waite till my dad takes a ride in the neighbors......then i will stand a chance. ...hope he rides n that thing soon.

btw what's the best starter chip that will stack incase he gets hooked for life.....he has the lb7.

Deployed?? If he makes it back ( and we all hope he does ) he will have a great, fun toy, thanks to you :cool2:Are you talking about Pace's truck or MrsSpoolin???? :driver: Here's hopin he makes it back A-OK! :ro)

Tom :pig:

Well the E/J w/attitude has been in for a couple of weeks now. I usually run it on level 1, sometimes 2, depending upon the traffic. The other day I was accelerating up to 55mph when leaving work, the engine must have reached just the right temp for the E/J cause all of a sudden it was like someone shot me out of a cannon. :ro) Am I the only one eyeing other trucks and mentally "nailing them" to the pavement? :o: What's next??? :rolleyes:

I've never had an addiction before, err except for Censored in my younger days! ):h JJ :)

Edge seems to stack well. Or you could get a TTS and later get it rezapped to an Extreme. Those would be my first 2 choices

There are others that would work fine though too.......

Momma was worried that after I turned the big 5-0 that I may revert to the 2nd childhood. I assured her that if I ever bought a diesel truck she would be assured that the "change of life" could be avoided. uh-huh. Like that happened!! Aint a better feelin than jammin the foot down and blowing the doors off the kids in their "hotrods".

I took my youngest grandson for a ride the other day. Bad move. He's 7 and had all kinds of stories to tell grandma when we got home. Jeez, I hope to never live long enough to get this out of my system, cuz this is better that all the drugs of the '60s or 70's combined!!

My motto: If it an't broke, fix it till it is.Perfect!

Hey dudes, sup? :crazy: I took another hit today :cool2: , bought myself some good sh_t off DPP. :cool_shad Man he laid some 4" aluminized cool duals on me, topped them with 5" SS dual sided tips with a LB7 front pipe to kill the kitty, thought I was gonna blow man! -:t

Now where's that tranny pusher???? :grd: :help: JJ :)

I started out content with my new DMAX LLY. I was cruisin the net about 3 or 4 weeks ago looking for a bed topper and low and behold I stumble onto this fr*&kin site!:badidea: Now, $3500 later I'm still wanting to ADD!!!!:help: :grd: I've also got brand new tires (not included in the $$$above) waiting at the shop while I try to decide on which programmer (also not included in the $$$ above) to get.:bling: Please tell me it will stop at some point!? I almost feel ashamed for introducing this place to my buddies.:wtf1: NOT REALLY.
