Why???

because a loud truck is cool, a loud engine is bloody enoying, especially when i have to let it warm up four feet from bedroom, its just not worth the complaints from the girlfriend

Like they say "Real trucks rattle" so if you drive a "real" truck you have to put up with some "rattle". I love the sound of my diesels. I assuming you have a 1st or 2nd gen because the common rails are pretty quiet...so it might be easier to get a quiet girlfriend...LOL

Get a common-rail or a Duramax. You can barely tell they're diesels unless you're standing right next to them.

My wife LOVES both of our diesels.  It looks like it's time for you to upgrade the girlfriend.
