I drove a guys Turbo Diesel, Cummins. I had respect for diesels before but that thing was pretty fun to drive. 3rd gear synchro was out so that was a pain but switching from 3rd to 4th with a could of grey smoke is just fun. A new appreciation has arrived. Im not a big fan of trucks but would love to do some work on a diesel car.

You don't say what year that truck was, but the newer HO Cummins are a monster. I test drove one a couple years back, and that thing really impressed me with the way it yanked that big truck up to speed.
