I've got to say watching these videos and not just your channel yours is probably the least but I dont know what's going on with people out there these day's as everything is always someone else's fault,everyone is stupid because they have an opinion in life,nothing is ever good enough not to mention just the way some of these people (not all) are so disrespectful to each other over a damn comment about a engine,brand,show,movie I mean I've just never seen anything like it in my life of almost 50 years!!!! Not even 10 years ago people didn't act this way towards each other I mean its sickening almost! People have got to start taking responsibility for there lives,decisions,actions and making that change if thats what's needed instead of just blurting something out about what I mentioned because we as a people have just became horrible to each other which I knoe why but I won't touch on that subject but there are alot of people that need Jesus in there life out there or atleast fix themselves instead of bringing everyone and anyone else down to make themselves feel or look better which doesn't truly work because I know they don't feel better about themselves and just embarrass themselves instead of the other person when talking to someone that way for what?? A chunk of metal? I mean come on now we can do way better than this!!! I dont know you Dave but thank you for that and having the courage to do so because it's all got to stop or it'll just get worse and worse then the Amercia we love and grew up in is just a bunch of sad,mad,confused people instead of all trying to help to benefit one another which will be a sad day as they are getting sadder for some of the ones that feel the need to act that way towards other people because of the way they feel! Try uplifting someone or helping someone maybe they'd feel better about themselves.. Anyway just my two pennies. Great show Dave!

I'm a pastor, and one of my favorite hobbies is working on my cars, boat, small engines, etc. I've been following your reels for a while and when I saw your video about positions available, I thought, "If I didn't love preaching so much, I would love to work for Dave." Your honesty and integrity and character are praiseworthy, and you seem to be the kind of person that a guy like me would enjoy being around and learning from. After watching this video, I now know that we share the same faith (which I already suspected), and I'm glad to have discovered you on social media. Keep doing what you are doing. Thanks for the great content and for setting a wonderful example for others.

Amen Dave! As a retired automotive repair business and Christian I love your message. Love the content and the shorts. As far as the repair on the diesel. One thing I've learned over my 45 years as a mechanic, that not all customers are appreciative end the end. Especially when you offer a "bandaid". If money is an issue now, it will always be an issue. Whether it's this repair or one on this truck in the future. I say do it right or don't do it at all.

I’d like to give away thousands of dollars in Repairs to the folks I meet and help them out no matter what… but if I did that I’d be so busy with that work that I’d never have time for myself or others. Plus it takes Millions of dollars for that kind of thing. The fact is that people are still going to be Lazy, Negligent when it comes to maintenance of anything, and if you help them out, they sometimes just keep coming back wanting big handouts for nickel and dime payments. In the end they become Dependent Upon You more and more! I’ve always thought that there was some great value and wisdom in that Book of stories that’s been Hijacked by modern times. Particularly… give a man a Fish and he eats for a day, teach him to fish, and prepare it for themselves, than that’s giving him a lifetime worth of food! Unfortunately like most Good Things, it has been hijacked by Greed. The world seems only to care about the next 12 seconds or less. But when they really need something they become Savages to get it!!! Example… Covid 19 and Toilet Paper… My 50 plus years of working on cars, Trucks and Equipment (heavy construction equipment for the Army and OTR Trucks as well) have shown me that people are mostly the problem, coupled with Corporate Greed they pay less for more Stupidity and keep raising prices and lowering the Bar as a standard. I wonder (this is January 17,2023) how many of the electric cars are being given up on Today because it’s So cold across America and they simply can’t hold their charge anymore due to the lack of engineering that goes into their batteries. Good enough doesn’t get it. Why do we make junk ? Think about how Negatively our society has changed over the past decade, I’ve paid attention and all of it boils down to not caring about what Responsibilities are and Accepting Accountability for you Actions. Instead we focus on blaming others… Just Quit it now! My Daughter at 19 years old came to me and asked me to borrow my tools, to help teach a Boy How to do his own Oil Change! Yeah he lived with his mother and I have no idea what his father did or where he was… But at least Someone took the time to explain and teach him how to do some basic Maintenance. It seems that responsibility for this kind of thing Could have come from the Boys Absent Father… For those who have the talent the tools and knowledge, I challenge you to please put down your own phone and problems and teach your children how to do things that will make them feel accomplished and that basic necessity for most things mechanical is maintaining it! Granted if you’re wealthy enough you can afford to just throw money at a problem and it gets fixed by someone else who is willing to take it. But if you’re rich and stupid then you can afford to freeze to death because you’re too cheap to do the right Accountable thing that’s called maintenance. No problem when the snow and ice melt they will eventually find your corpse, along with the other ones that are dead from being stupid enough to go die in a Blizzard because they just Have to get some where… in a Hurry… Right now… and your in their way! 😢

This is one of the most interesting channels I have ever watched, as someone who has turned a wrench for a living it’s a beautiful thing to see someone who practices the same way of doing business as myself and my father. After I got out of the Navy I started my own business and after becoming successful I was approached by a large company and let them buy me out, I then became a territorial manager for Hankook Tire and enjoyed my time there and now I’m retired at 58 because of a series of events and I am doing great because of business decisions. You give me and others a great outlet to enjoy what we did in our youth. God Bless you and yours.

I’ve been following along a few months now, and I’ve came to the opinion that you’re one of the most humble people I have ran across. Sometimes it’s good to vent and open up and speak the truth. God gives grace to the humble, but is opposed to the proud. Thank you for all that you do for your customers and for your creator above. Talked to one of your team members today about bringing my 1964 Cadillac 429 to you guys to rebuild. I see that truck is from Montana and that’s where I’m from. I truly feel that it would be worth the trip to bring that motor to you guys. Looking forward to that experience.

Dave, First off, thanks for the human and spiritual interest, thanks for the connection. On the truck, if the owner knows where he is - a re-manufacture is expensive, not a reflection on you - but expensive, since it'll be out of the truck, a reground crank, a set of bearings and a 'rinse out' with kerosene or spirits might get him Thousands of miles, it's always a toss of the dice. I was in the business, on a smaller scale, and a bandaid is a bandaid, no changing that, you just hope for the best, his luck and your reputation.

I'm 42 and I've been working since I was 15. My father was abusive, I've been homeless, I've been addicted to oxy after an accident and 2 surgeries, I've had my heart broken, I've been surrounded by death in my family, last year my best friend killed himself. For a decade I've been working overnight. Over the pandemic while people fighting over masks and politics I was diagnosed with a rare Leukemia and told I had 3-5 years to live. I did 3 months of heavy chemo, and I've been on daily chemo since, and I still go into work to my crappy job that does not care about me. I am chronically depressed to boot, but you know what? I still go into work and do my stupid job. And I have 2 kids that need me. And I bought a house, which I never thought I could do. And then I sold the house and bought a bigger one, and bought 2 cars, and have savings. And I've surpassed what my own father could never do for his own family. And I've broken the cycle. And 90% of that was just showing up and giving a shit, no matter what life "does" to you.

I left the GM dealer in 2019 and went back to work for my original company that was in the RV business on a leap of faith and boy, I love my job again. It's different, but the same principles and they really treat there techs right. Keep up the great video's! Thanks

I recently (last week) found a 2010 F250 King Ranch with all the bells and whistles 2010 trucks had to offer, single old man owner, garage kept, mint condition with only 52k original miles and it has been DPF deleted since 2011, maintained perfectly, and runs like a top. Still has the plastic on the floors from the dealership. That one will be on the road for a while, but they wanted $28k for it!

Dave I could listen to you 24/7. It’s clear you are a man of wisdom through ‘doing shit’. Life ain’t easy it’s owes nothing and everything we have has to be earned, treasured and most importantly passed on - I’m talking about knowledge not material things. I’m so glad I found your videos Dave a top top bloke as we say in Scotland. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Hey Dave, I thought that was a really great motivational speech. I plan on passing your video along to a good friend of mine who has lost her way in life. She's been homeless for almost a year now and seems stuck in a cycle, doing the same thing every day but expecting different results. I constantly tell her that if one direction doesn’t work, she needs to change her direction. Stay well, Dave. Thanks.

I broke my neck in August 2004 and have an incomplete spinal cord injury. The doctor told my wife I’d never walk again unassisted. I was walking in 2 weeks and running in a few months. I said the Lord had work for me to do and he would tell me what to do. I’ve been working and exercising every since. Some days are hard but I keep going.

When I started working on OTR trucks in '73 I was blessed. I was taught by good mechanics and hard knocks. I stayed with it almost 30 yrs. I've worked on them, managed, owned and towed them. It's been crazy sometimes. I've ever helped friends with their vehicles. I feel if you know you should help.

Awesome channel Dave. I am a trained heavy diesel mechanic in New Zealand and I love your professionalism and work ethic as its often overlooked nowadays. After 25 years on the tools I have no time for cowboys in the industry, do it right the first time or not at all, you hit the nail on the head when you talk about reputation, quality of workmanship, good communication with the customers etc. Big plus on the house keeping too I know how difficult that can be in a large workshop, great habit to install into apprentices.

A really great Video Dave ! You care a great deal ! A couple of years ago , I started to experience health problems . I was anemic,😅 had high blood pressure , my A1C was elevated . Last year I had surgery for an enlarged prostate . In December of 2023 . My back was acting up . I have had back trouble for many years . This time my back doctor I had severe stenosis . I have had three epidurals which for now I managing without surgery . Last week I had a test on my heart . The results of the test revealed that I had blockage and I am a high risk for heart attack . God has been gracious to me and giving great doctors and an amazing loving supportive wife . I am 70 years old . In my book , that is old but it is a privilege denied to many . In March 2024 I was able to donate blood after waiting over a year and a half till my hemoglobin was high enough to donate after taking iron twice a day during that time .

Simply because i have 2 vehicles i dream of taking apart every single bit of it, and making it run better. Y’all my idol there, thank you for your service🙏
