Its not rare at all, its a simple matter of what people are willing to pay for. If you want the attention to detail you need to offer fair trade for the persons time, amd most would rather have the lower price so thats what shops give them. That doesnt mean those same shops can't do a top notch job if you tell them what you want and, just don't expect it at the advertised bargain price.

Jay Dunbar agree to disagree lol. I’ve overpaid plenty of people that want to cut corners in order to increase their profit.
@MS-es9hm3 жыл бұрын
@@Turner2211 Yes profit is primary driver for many shops; but there's also the quality factor of the tech/owner of that shop. Some techs may just not know or try to know enough to build the best of the best no matter what they may charge. Mark clearly kept digging/learning until he was completely satisfied with the end product that would represent his brand. Many techs would just look at the factory set up, determine it was bad engineering and then tell the customer to "expect" sub par performance or that it had to be rebuilt more often because of bad design components. I understand what Jay is saying in that you can go to a shop and ask for the discount build and you might be able to ask for the primo build. But will that shops' primo build be as good as Marks? Perhaps/perhaps not..... With videos like this we get to see a quality build and we can choose to use Mark or at least go to our own local shops with eyes wide open and expectations where they should be. :)

@kodiaktruck35834 жыл бұрын
ATF is basically a zero weight oil. your will get very hot to the point you cant touch it with out getting burnt. years ago we started using 5w30 full synthetic motor oil . you will have a 5 weight cold and a 30 weight warm. much better protection on bearings and components plus being synthetic it wont foam under load (in 4wd) like no synthetic oils.
