I don’t know everything there is to know. In our world, we are beginners at best. The info may be worth more or less than you’re paying for it.

[@omdizzle05]

God bles you and your sons as a man that aspires to be a father one day bless you !!!!!

[@omdizzle05]

[@dougj.8288]

Watched the whole 28:39 video, very informative! I honestly never thought about running the dump valve before.

[@HammerHeadGarage]

Info is power. I learn whatever I can whenever the info is available. Thanks.

[@andyclark3611]

I’d rather watch y’alls channel than street outlaws! We’re currently building 2 different s-10’s & have a luv my 15yr old nephew drives. Lots of useful info! Your shows remind me of my family all working in our shop together on our trucks.

[@Josh-id8bz]

Two uploads 6 hours apart! Oh yeah what a day

[@jamiemuncy2219]

If you guys have never met this man you need to, hes very very knowledgeable and street savvy, & there great people they’ll give you the shirt off their back to help. Me and a friend of mine met them here locally at a Hill Billy arm drop in eastern Ky a few years back just b4 Billy started the channel, the truck was on Nitrous then. But let me tell you, there as HUMBLE now as they were then💯💯 Great People 💯

[@grumpyoldirishman313]

I watch all your vids entirely. I thank you for all your info you share. Please keep them coming.

[@masonzaiontz9033]

Best content on the tube

[@danielward8649]

I feel like I can't look away when you're teaching us.

[@dazman5152]

Don't ever say that people may not be interested in watching this tytpe of Video. I was totally riveted to it, that was so informative to see what your great family is doing. Keep up these type of Vidoe's, it is a credit to you and your family, so humble as always.

[@brbntrl2433]

Hey old man, glad you're doing better. I love the behind the scenes videos. Just shows you all the fancy cameras and editing is only second to being interesting. If you ever need any welding or machining done, hit me up. McDannald Welding & Machining. We're in Marysville.

[@trav_t4305]

Watched Stevie Jackson doing the same thing today on explaining convertor rebuild. Great job expanding the dump valve system and how it works.

[@krustymudracer]

You guys rock. I'm 47 yrs. old and love learning new things. The dump valve system is something I've heard of, but wasn't sure of what they did and how they work. Now I know this valuable info. Thanks.

[@markhead8075]

I thoroughly enjoyed the video I am 58 yrs old and I have never heard of this on a transmission thanks for the info I enjoy all the informative videos I really learn a lot from you guys

[@danswaygarage3393]

Bless y'all, I've been delaying my shop build but after discovering SRC, (INSPIRATION OVERLOAD) the boys, one 14 the other 18 AND myself have gained so much from your channel. Thank you.

[@theguru-s2l]

Hey uncle Bill. Even if these videos is 3 hours long, ill watch to the end. Its always good. And i love this type of video, its not always just about the racing, so much more goes into the prep than just that. And that will keep me clicking each and every time you upload.

[@jasontate8575]

Your a great father you know that, well done!💯🇺🇸

[@christopherhill6064]

I watched the previous video and laughed to myself. When you decided to put the converter back together in your state of mind.

[@franker1111]

No sir I watch everyone of your videos to the end. I don't miss a thing. Your videos have helped me many times more then you'll ever know. Keep them coming

[@the4flatgarage]

Hey, we're out here, listening. There is a lot of people that haven't made the upgrade to a good transmission and converter yet, so this was invaluable. Feel more confident in selection of components now. Thank you.

[@hankbardukis381]

I've learned more in the past month from this channel than I have piecing together bits and pieces of info over the past 10 years on YT. Thank you guys for all that ya'll do for us and more for doing what you do for them Pops

[@witcher71]

Thanks for the lesson!! Your time making this video wasn't wasted.

[@chezleymcdonald2481]

Definitely not

[@BurrNinja]

Very informative on this setup. Interesting to learn other ways of cutting back power when the car starts to stand up. Bill, for the short period of time you have uploaded you seem like a damn natural. Keep up the good work man, enjoying all you post!

[@woodyclio]

Keep the videos coming. Don't change a thing and make them as long as you want/need, I'm sure a lot of will stay for the yarns. Was gutted tho I didn't hear cheese an crackers once. Good job guys all the best

[@rhino3292]

Personally I appreciate your time and effort in explaining the things you do and what parts you use. Nothing beats a wise man sharing his experience and knowledge!

[@johnfestich5008]

I have a new understanding of torque converters I didn't have before watching this. Thanks

[@quickdeuce]

Thanks so much 'ol Dad. All these SRC tips are excellent and will be helping many, many street racers pull their times down and have a more reliable hotrod.

[@docholliday9791]

Man that dump valve setup is slick. Good info old man, us younger guys look up to guys like you

[@cew142]

My perspective: I look forward to your videos everyday. I am personally a 4 spd or 5 spd guy. I like having a 3rd pedal. However....I watched this whole video and learned something about automatics. I really didn’t know what the dump valve was or how it was used until now. In fact, it makes me even more interested in using an automatic for my next build. The way you make these videos, you make me feel like I am part of your family. Thank you for that! Your willingness to help people is outstanding and I value that. Keep on wrenching my friend!

[@buddyduncan2095]

Stayed till the end thanks for the class you would be a great shop teacher

[@jaredspear8140]

Great video explaining a converter and dump valve system! Converters I understood but dump valve systems I’ve never encountered before. Only a couple years into racing. Learn something new everyday.

[@maxfastest]

Wow ! I've never seen any of this information anywhere before ! Thanks for sharing !

[@fivetenranch]

Hey just want to say thanks for the content. I haven’t had a drag car for 16 years and you and your boys have inspired me to build a new truck so I can spend more time with my son !

[@garyray7958]

I love this "Ole Man"... He has helped me a lot with a few thing in this video... 5 stars to you

[@runnningonempty]

I remember dealing with Pete decades ago with my Mopar stuff...And Steve Griner built my trans brake God rest his soul..Thank you for the Knowledgeable awesome video.

[@Chevyv8man1]

Well it lt looks like your eye has cleared up just fine. It's amazing how a loving wife can take care of you in a way that you wouldn't bother doing on your own. At least I wouldn't. Thanks for sharing your knowledge as you do in all your videos. I find it very interesting, even if I never use it, it is just one more thing I didn't know this morning and I love to learn as much as I can. It's something that I'm always willing and looking forward to do. Again, Thank you. - Later

[@bryanklapproth1417]

Man I am so glad that I have found Billy and you, your so much of a wealth of knowledge and I enjoy every video to the very end for everything that you put out and explain and teach thank you for the teaching

[@jasonheid8181]

I THANK YOU for you experience and information. I was always wondering how the dump valves worked and after hours of research I got the info I was looking for. Now if I had your video 3 years ago I would have found my info I was looking for in 28min. Lol. After a long day in the garage I look forward to seeing your videos every night. I relate to your family alot seeing it is only my Dad and myself which is my best friend. So thank you again and God Bless. AWESOME JOB!!!👍👍

[@kenbird4873]

Good to see your eye is better already tonight Bill, that's some very interesting information there, thanks for explaining it the way you do, you are very good at it, good night and see you tomorrow.

[@Not_Built-Right]

My dad past 4 years ago from cancer at the age of 50. He passed on his 68 camaro to me. Keep the videos coming ol man! From shelby, OH here.

[@davehoneycutt9558]

[@jeffness6230]

Old man reminds me of my old man. He is my best friend and teacher of life. Unfortunately he is in a battle for his life from complications of Covid as i type, the channels you guys run take my mind off of it for a bit. Thanks to you guys

[@TnTravelers33]

I had Vickers build me a th400 for my chevelle man/auto vb 34 element sprag upgraded drum and a Hughes converter. Dion is the man

[@waybad]

[@creativepoolinstallations9136]

[@TrojanHorse1959]

Great video Bill, thanks for the information!

[@Scott-Tim]

[@curtfreeman8632]

Thanks for explaining dump valves. Very interesting.

[@brianjones950]

Thanks for the video ... I watch all of them very inspiring . Thanks for going into detail on the transmission ..

[@jjsgarage1966]

Lmao.. I was watching your video and I was dozing off ( because I work alot of hours driving) so as I'm dozing off... the part where you say: HEY! PAY ATTENTION! Woke me up.. i laughed 🤣 at that! Your timing was spot on! Now that I got a nap! Back to the converters! And thanks for sharing your knowledge! I enjoy watching all of your channels.

[@benausman8444]

You have good information to give out to people that need help out there👍 we appreciate it thank you!

[@cfmechanic]

I watched it all and now I learned a lot about converters dump valves. Thanks for sharing.

[@isaiahrivera1720]

One of my new favorite channels, love seeing behind the scenes. Too many young men aren’t blessed with fathers like you( and my father) and it shows. Keep pushing this channel is going to go places 👍🏽

[@jneman91]

I watch start to finish. Every. Day. THANK YOU!

[@edallen5119]

Thank you for sharing your information and skills. I love how you explain so much and we love and admire your whole family

[@lonnieairsman9215]

We watch your videos because they're cool and interesting and you can always learn something more that you didn't know

[@stevejones6647]

Thanks for the info and explanation on dump valves. I had a basic idea what they were used for but didn’t know how or when they are implemented

[@FirstGenGarage68SS]

Start with hand first, not with impact, “No Ugga-Dugga’s”.....love this content!!!! Hilarious and very informative at the same time. Billy and Tommy, you guys have a great family there and for the Old Man, love the content brother and can’t wait for more!!

[@rhemiseinen508]

Really appreciate you putting these videos up, you’re easy to listen to and very informative

[@gerrymilidantri6457]

Great explanation Bill, I believe two piece converters are the way to go a bit expensive, but the tuning capability with stater change is worth the investment. I used to run Coan in my Topsportsman Car. Great channel keep up the great videos

[@donwilliams8954]

This kind of info is why your channel is so popular. Keep it coming...

[@alexsylvester7523]

Absolutely love informational videos , constantly trying to learn more cause I don't know everything and I don't know enough for what's in my plans , thanks again for the information

[@rodneyf.9595]

I took in it all thank you very much , I am an info nut on these cars and trucks. I want to learn as much as I can .even after all these years of working on cars. Thank you for taking the time for explaining it all.. 👍

[@jackdeath1512]

I watched the whole vid. Learned a few things. Thanks for your time. The eye looks ALOT better.

[@theguru-s2l]

I cant wait for videos on that red nova. How bout a build for this channel specifically? I know budget is tight all the time, but think of it this way, how many guys/girls try racing on the cheap? Show them how its done.

[@everett7918]

I don't know you personally but know you from watching the videos and I can tell that you love your Boy's very much.. me and my oldest son was going to do a father and son project we was going to build a car once I got back to work because I got hurt and had to have 7 surgeries on my knee with one of them was a knee replacement..sad to say me and my boy never got to do it because I lost him June 25th 2020 I was a truck driver delivered food to wendy's and other restaurants and got hurt from a faulty ramp coming out of trailer so I didn't get to spend much time with him and I have his 2 younger brothers my 17 year old is starting to get into it I love it and hopefully one day have a car built in remembrance of my oldest son.. maybe one day I can come out and see your Boy's race live instead of on video.. just wanted to say is keep loving them boys like you do and cherish all the times you spend together because you never know when the good Lord is going to call for them.. thanks if you took time to read and God bless.

[@Zanehoward88]

Never knew that dump valve set up existed! Makes perfect sense how the old man explained it! Keep em coming

[@kimpettit2703]

The info you are sharing is priceless, always heard it is the little things that make it happen cause everyone is doing the big things. Keep up the great work.

[@jeremydavis340.]

Was gonna ask why u didnt put grease on the o-ring in the previous video. Ive pinched so many o-rings. This applies to all o-rings not just this one onlookers. Love the teaching. Good job👍

[@kendallswanson3866]

My Husband loves these video's so keep up the good work

[@HotRodDave]

I watched it all the way. Good info on the converter and dump valves.

[@user-df5hr9uy4w]

Your eye looks much better! Thanks for your help and advice Bill.

[@edwardathanasaw5771]

I really appreciate you takeing the time to explain this, iam not a mechanic but I love the content and explaining away this info. Thanks a million Pops!!!! Keep it comeing

[@chadspadeace420]

I appreciate your time to explain what you have learned thank you old man love the channel God bless!

[@Mass_hole508]

I wish i had half the knowledge you've forgotten. Thank you for sharing some of your knowledge.

[@rhondaapplegate6316]

Wow, everything you explained made sense. Old dog learns new trick!

[@kmc468]

Good video love the half-hour one,s it seems like each time I watch this channel I learn something more and more had no idea about dump valves in your transmission and the overflow for the transmission genius something I've never even thought of thank you for the knowledge in the ideas. I would have never know until I watched show today 👍 I always watch the full show its realy entertaining and knowledgeable.

[@bobgreene5460]

An easy to watch delivery. Well done, great content.

[@thehappytexan]

Dielectric grease works awesome for o rings. Put an rtv tube tip on it so you can squeeze out the perfect size bead and it takes 5 seconds. It’s silicone based grease also, which is what 90% of o rings call for. Works great for preserving rubber parts too.

[@peskypeet]

Hey I watched it even though I don't need it. Converters are fascinating. Thank you

[@yarrdayarrdayarrda]

Excellent insight into the technology (and reasoning) behind dump valves. I've been a bracket racer for decades and appreciate a quality converter and transmission package, but I had no clue what the plumbing was externally on these (turbo) transmissions. Thanks so much!

[@dallaswiens126]

Yes we are watching these videos and really appreciate the technical details

[@mikemaccracken3112]

I like the long technical videos. Great job Old Man.

[@smallfry0764]

Thanks for the info! I might put a converter in the truck. It definitely needs one. Got a built rear with good traction bars and built trans and 4.10 gears, but using a stock converter with the fins bent to allow a little more rpm down low. I bet a converter would liven it up!

[@Dc2Pichy]

Thank u for the info old man.. Blessings n keep them video coming I love watching you do what u do best.. hope u feel better..

[@michaelirvin6099]

Thank you for the video and the information. Good information is worth it's weight in gold and this video was very informative. Please keep them coming and Hi from Mcconnelsville Ohio.

[@dmac3086]

Doin good Mr Bill. (Old skool respect) You have a good start here on this channel. Informed knowledge, (experience) is hard to come by now days. Everyone wants to (Top) secret their ways of doing things. Thank ya, for making sure the info is getting passed on to the younger bucks and does out here. Raised your boys to be decent men. Yup, done good Mr Bill. Ya done good.

[@jasonritter2492]

A lot of people are interested in what you got going on. One Day in and 18k views. I been racing and building my whole life and im only a few yrs younger than Bill Sr. My family started doing it in 58, and I still watch all of the videos all the way through, not only to show support but because you never know if your gonna hear or see/learn something new that might help you in the streets or at the track.

[@MrKclo42112]

REALLY LOVE ALL THAT TALK ABOUT HOW THE DUMP VALVES WORK. , Im still using the ole but dyno .

[@joshharrison60]

Love hearing ur ways to get down the road. U guys do really good getting down any street

[@stevenstroud19]

Thank for all that you do and God bless your family brother, its always worth watching. Take care.

[@kennyallison7201]

Very good info on dump valves! A lot of street racers and no prep racers dont like to share this information, this is secret stuff! Lol

[@waynelewis881]

Thank you for a good explanation. I've been wondering how that system works for years.

[@jamiemuncy2219]

Well it doesn’t look like Vicky blacked your eye anymore lmao “joke” Bill there’s a lot of us that watch everything you put out to the end but I swear to goodness, just this evening I was sitting in my garage talking to a friend of mine asking how the dump valve system works. I was gonna get on line and do some research and I be damned if you didn’t put out a video. But I agree, we may not do things by the book or how other people do them, but we do the things we do the best we know how and either way we’re doing it we got the same goal, get it together and make sure it’s safe and working properly. My grandpa & my dad drilled into my head all my life, if your going to work on something or someone’s stuff do it right because if it’s worth your time doing it then do it right, take pride it what you do. But thanks you kinda gave me a crash course or what I was wondering about on the dump setup. Stay safe, stay Rona free and pray to got Trump gets elected because if not all the things we enjoy may come to an end. Thanks Old Man😝💯👍💯😝

[@rodneyogden9111]

Very interesting video thank you
