Stupid n00b question..

[lts1ow]

I have noticed that almost all dodge diesel trucks are loud at idle, like a deep tone to em, whereas my truck is a raspy quiet tone.

Obviously I could pull muffler but I don't think that would get me that deep tone, what makes the cummins sound that way? Straight 6?

Moved to south NJ so been seeing a lot more invisible trailers and what not.

With EFI, you can open the vanes all the way at idle and it makes them fairly loud

Ouch...

I don't know the reason, but to me its seems that tone is inherent to cummins. I've never noticed it on other 6s

Damn, I MUST be old!!! I worry more about how a truck runs, how fuel efficient, and how I can "save" money I have to put into it, than how it "looks" or "sounds"! I guess that's just an "age" thing, but where the heck are the kids now days getting all the money to "burn"??? I'm NOT trying to "stir the pot" here, just curious why it's so important to have a truck that "looks", and "sounds", a certain way, ....Oh and I guess it must "blow smoke" too, rather than having an economical, good running, truck, that will last you a long time, and that doesn't cost you through the nose??? Even when I was "younger" and built street rods, and monster street trucks, we still went for "functionality", "durability", and "uniqueness" (rather than wanting to having the same thing as everyone else), what ever happened to "individuality"? Seems like now everyone wants to have the same looking, sounding, vehicle as the next person, what's up with that, just wondering! Hope I'm not "ruffling any feathers", just askin'!

I usually expect to see a corn picker or farm tractor driving up the road but most of time it's just a Dodge with a straight pipe.

Ever heard a straight piped 2nd gen? Quite as hell. The CR's are the louder than shit ones. I think it has to do with the exhaust manifold. We put a 2nd gen steed speed on my buds CR cummins and it got a lot quiter at idle, different exhaust note.

wtf, I don't want a loud or sooty truck...

It was just a question as to why 12v are a lot louder sounding at idle than a duramax.

Simple question.
