I'm not a subscriber as I'm a Cleetus fan, but watched Adam LZ before Cleetus for the mechanical part. What is great about Taylor Ray is that I can see a random video and he explains everything I need to know for it to make sense. I drove a 79 C20 from when I got my license until recently as a daily driver, work truck (construction trades, and tow rig and I have an 88 K5 Blazer on 35's and a 6" lift. The C20 has a very well built 406 sbc that meets the requirements of Komnifornia smog. In 2020 I also bought a new Chevy 2020 Duramax/ 10 speed with all the extras (LTZ with $10k in upgrades to match the High Country). I can easily relate to Taylor and what he has done. So far, I haven't parted with my square bodies, but needed a comfortable and fuel efficient truck to do what I need with a body that is beat from construction work and unpreventable ailments.....there isn't a day without pain anymore. While I saved money, I drove my mom's old 2005 CC 1500 silverado with over 300k on it. I considered a 2005 F250 with a bulletproof 6.0 since my parents bought a 350 dually that my buddy owned (upgraded and tuned as well as deleted), but $25k was too much for an older truck that would need $10k or more in engine and trans work. Luckily, 2020 was a hell of a year for work and I bought the new truck and only had 3 more months before I had enough to pay it off........I saved for a few years as I passed up used trucks. The shop looks good from the front and I haven't watched since he tore it down. While I am not into some of the cars Talor does, I need to catch up on all the other content he does so well. Great video!

It was absolutely EXHAUSTING cause I was also always working on the race car in that time too. I ended up buying a 2015 f250 crew cab and man, what an absolute game changer. And I never ever have to think about it, just hook up and go. The difference it makes on your mental health leading up to each trip is more than you can measure in dollars.

I love the 6.7 powerstroke's and they are great. But at some point it will almost certainly leave you stranded from emissions. But upside egr cooler cores aren't too bad to replace but failure to regen's will put into an idle only limp mode.

The worst thing about all the diesel engines since 2008 is the emission control stuff. I have an 08 Dodge 6.7 Cummins in my 2500. I like the truck but the engine is always giving me trouble regarding the regen. About once a month now I'll need to take it out on the road for a high speed run for about 60 miles so it can do the regen. This gets expensive, especially with diesel priced around $5.00 a gallon. For those in CA, add another two to three dollars.

Some of these new management systems are wild, pedal position has no correlation to throttle blade position, it is all obfuscated in software. It can be jarring at first, but it really is nice on the highway when throttle inputs are translated to increase wheel speed, decrease wheel speed, maintain wheel speed. The computer can pick the gear, boost level, etc for the terrain or curves - whatever and you don't have to think.
