I like the 12V, 5.9, cummins, 2nd Gen, truck content. Your channel has evolved from you working in the old soft carport on the ground in the rain chasing gremlins, building dog houses and Mustangs to living at your own home with a killer shop with son in tow. I’ve followed your channel for a bit and have enjoyed all the changes. Keep up the great work keeping us informed and entertained👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸

HI Sam. Keep on doing your thing. 12 valve 24 valve don't matter, or hot rods or tree cutting too for that matter. Variety is the spice of life. Keep going the way yer going. Just don't burn yourself out. Now, in regards to the electrical connector going bad, I still seldom use butt crimp connectors, except for terminal connections, such as switches, fuse blocks and such, where connect disconnect needs to be accessible. Otherwise I solder and heat shrink with double wall heat shrink. I find it's a more permanent connection. I live in the cold and salt, I don't want any corrosion getting access to a connection. Keep up the good work, we'll be here for you.

I will say, there are cheap versions of those solder n seal connectors. What I’ve found with the Amazon/eBay ones is you have to get the solder so hot with the gun for it to start melting the connector itself most of the time, even if you get it to melt it doesn’t seem to hold very well. My dad ordered some aviation ones for his kit plane he is building and they don’t have that issue, but they are like 5 times the price.
