That's because most truck owners are like Harley riders -- they think
noise and rough operation is a mark of quality.
My neighbor has a LOUD Harley and a KLATTERY KLATTERY 2000 Dodge q-cab with
a 24V Cummins Diesel which would fit this stereotype perfectly! Personally,
I like the way that the '06 Cummins performs, and it does so without the
noise exhibited by the previous generation engine, even at startup!
Speaking of startup, the second it catches, the guy revs the ***** out of it
and races off! MB content: The 300SD has been starting reliably, a couple
chirps of the starter and it's running.
