    My First Vehicle, My First Truck, My First Cummins

    Ugh, This story kills me to this day. My first ride and my first Cummins. Best five grand I have ever worked for and spent, this truck meant the world to me as stupid as it sounds. It was a monster. A badass worked twelve valve with a BD Built Auto Trans. Had a zero fuel plate slid forward, afc gutted, timing advanced 17 degrees, cold air intake, and a five inch down pipe to a six inch straight pipe. This thing was a coal rolling savage and I loved it. Washed it every weekend and always had a spotless interior, always got complimented on it even old grandpa's loved it! And of course the ladies loved it! But that's where the story starts, was Thursday night just got outta work went home showered and was gong to hang out with this girl who had a thing for me. About twenty minutes away from seeing her, I got tanked by a Jeep in an intersection who ran a red light. I seriously couldn't believe what had happend, my truck was taken away from me and I hadn't even gotten outta the cab yet and I just knew it was totaled by looking at that Jeep. Never cried like a little girl in my life hahahahaha. Once my old man loaded her up on the rollback it began to set in, I was lucky so was the other kid. The frame was bent, cab shifted, and the transmission snapped off the motor. It was probably the shittest thing that had ever happend to me considering I wrecked my truck TWO DAYS before U.S. Diesel Truckin' Nationals here in New Jersey and considering a week later the girl had kicked me to the curb a week later. So remember fellas don't chase after something that is too good to be true!!!!





    She sat so purdy in the High School Parking Lot.







    Brings a tear to my eye, R.I.P

    Welcome Chris. Sorry to hear that. I wrecked a truck or 2 in my past. Trucks are replaceable you aren't. Just be glad you weren't in something smaller. And you are local to me.

    A little compound. . . We can buff that out

    There's plenty of 2500 gas chassis around with tired motors. But the two side by side and start xing.

    When you said it broke at the mount, you mean the tail shaft? I haven't any parts for a 4 X, but the tail shafts are the same gas to diesel. Move the guts over

    Is this a 2nd guy from Hopatcong? THERE'S 2 OF YOU?

    Hey Alex. Isn't that the truck we passed on 46 last Saturday night. The one I told you to smoke? (Which my truck won't do anymore)

    I'm right down the road from you in Wharton

    I woulda bought the truck back from Insurance but I paid five thousand dollars for it insurance gave me forty five hundred dollars for it, the truck had a twenty five hundred dollar buy back value, so I was like ehh. And I assume it broke at the Tail Shaft when we finally got her on the bed and when the bed was angled trans fluid just poured outta it like a waterfall. I really miss this truck, I'm sure you've guys seen me back in August-September cruising up and down 46 and 10. I always passed Cliffs Ice Cream and just laid a nice strip of black smoke to show off then I'd hit the underpasses going towards Hopatcong lugging it to here that nasty echo of that Cummins. There is a few of us here in Hopatcong with Cummins, My Buddy with the Dark Blue Lifted 2003 Ram 3500 Single Wheel on Rockstars, My buddy Meatball has a Silver 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 Crew Cab Short Bed with a bang up tail gate and bumper that just has a chip and is going on his fourth transmission LOL, and two other third gens one white and one Green and Silver Two Tone with a black stack in the bed. Once I get that black turd on the road we'll have to meet up!!
