 I'm going to turn it off. notification. Nope. chatting with a lot of the trucks. Duramax. Duramax truck guys here on YouTube. Uh looks like we've already got about 15 guys sitting here waiting in the chat. What is happening everybody? If you haven't already noticed uh from all the Instagram posts and everything in the chat, we have Bertrand 850 hanging out down in fluoride A and then we also have Rory from Duramax diesel over on the west coast. We cannot be further from each other. Exactly right. We have your webs all corners of the U. S. Oh, you got Captain Ron on there too. Yep, there's the captain coming in. So, who's excited for the truck coming up this morning? It's dude. I'm mentally. It's it's it's going to be a long drive, but it's going to be worth it. So, what are you heading out Rory? I'm probably going to take off Tuesday afternoon. So, how many miles is it? What? How many miles? Uh I don't know about 30 hours of driving. No. So, don't do it all at once. No, no, I'm making a few stops along. Tuesday instead of like Thursday. You have triple A? Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You have YouTube following. I'm sure you put a post out there. Somebody will come to the rescue. It's true. We got a couple of people in chat. The diesel says he's looking forward to the drive down with truck master. Oh, yeah. People from Australia, even from Australia, guys from Georgia, all around the US. That is another thing. Happy Father's Day to all the fathers out there. One day here, we don't have to feel bad about not doing any of the chores around the house. Oh, sorry. Sorry. Yeah. Oh, you're in Massachusetts. I'm right ahead of time and I pulled some of the questions and stuff off of the Instagram post that everybody made for the truck show and everything coming up right here. So, first question that we pulled that I want to ask all of you and we start off with adults. Everybody knows that you kind of just got into the YouTube thing just starting off and like, at what point did you think that, you know what, I really enjoyed doing this. I'm going to do it bigger and better and deciding that it's going to be a semi-perfect. Well, man, it just makes sense is what I enjoy. So it just made sense to film it and kind of help people that were kind of the same situation as me trying to learn this thing. You know, and I'm not like a master mechanic, but I like to be able to give it a shot and kind of learn as I go. Call Rory for advice sometimes. We all have that one guy who's on speed dial, right? How about you, Rory? What made you want to keep going into the YouTube gig? Well, I actually didn't start as a, it was just like a blogging thing. I was off in the military on some training and I realized Dermax consumed my life when I got back and I just was filming my truck every day and I started doing kind of more in-depth stuff motor rebuilds at the time and transmission swaps and all that stuff and I just kind of really found a love for like helping people out and the support from the community that like all the people that have helped me like head gasket jobs or all that stuff has been great. So it kind of keeps me going. People say, yeah I'm going to sell the truck at that point. Yeah, it's just a motor. If you can do it on a 350 Chevy you can do it on this. There's a little bit more stuff in the way. Lots more pictures and lots more spaghetti fuel lines everywhere. Yeah, that's the truth but it's doable. What about you, Josh? I know you've been doing this about more than any of us here on the channel. You've been doing this for quite a long time. What have you been doing? Just like Dolphins said, he just wanted to help other people out. I was in that same situation and I don't know, honestly I did a YouTube video on an EGR delete and it exploded and I've watched StreetSpeak for ever so not saying that I could be like him but I decided to be kind of cool to keep going because it looked like he was successful and I think what I was doing was reaching out to a lot of folks to help them and that's the only reason why I started doing it and I just kept going and I think it's cool that all four of us are together because we are all mechanically inclined and we all have informative channels so I think it's kind of cool to roll together so it's pretty neat. I think so too. Being able to put some actual work into your truck whether it is a $5,000 build or a $60,000 build just having that passion to be able to put that much effort into something that you own and create for a while. It might be a truck that dents and dings from front to back but it's custom and you guys did it yourself so it's cool to have pride in your work a lot of guys beat themselves up like oh I didn't do the life I'm like dude I don't care I want to see your truck and how much passion that you put into it. That's one of the things I look forward to being able to with everyone and their versions and their stories of their trucks and what hardships they went through along the way. The journey is the awesome part to hear about that's what I wanted to get out of my channel is the builds my dealership ideas out there just to be able to help out younger techs and guys who are just getting started in the industry as well as all the Duramax content that I really started to enjoy. Next question that I pulled off from another one of the channels here is when it comes to performance versus appearance saying you're starting off with a brand new truck build and you guys don't have all the money in the world to be able to throw into things everybody doesn't have 30 grand to just yep let's do all of it all right now first week and so we're talking performance versus appearance where do you put that standardization line when you're starting off a truck build or the other direction that one off with Josh well if you guys watch me I started the channel you guys know that I've got a big old pile of crap truck Duramax and where is that now it's still a big old pile of crap but it looks a lot better so I put lipstick on a pig so what I do is what I did is search list Facebook marketplace I traded writing lawn mowers saved my money where I do well Duramax you know I look in the pool and as cheap as I could possibly get for fuel flood the little stupidity of which I recommend for what else PCP all that crap so I did all that first because under probably 500 bucks so that got me by first so I didn't give a crap about what my truck looked like I just wanted to start small so I think that's if you guys are looking into something like that you don't have a lot of money like most of us do or don't start small I think it's your best bet and start working away with it you like to start off with the go fast parts or the look good parts I'm sorry you're asking me yeah I'm losing service a little bit yeah that's you well I'm I'm kind of on board with Josh and a little bit of a mix when I didn't when I started my build the first thing I did was 6 inch lifts and 35s in the wheels so that was that was where I started my truck still isn't the cleanest truck I'm definitely more into performance side of things now but it depends how far you want to take it because like you said you're talking like you're you're not trying to spend $20,000 on twin turbos and injectors and all this good stuff so I'm a firm believer in built trans so I definitely think that a tune in a built trans goes a long way and will really open up the truck for you so that's that's kind of where my builds start how about you adult yeah well I was when I started building it my truck like eight years ago I didn't have much money at all so I kind of skipped a few steps you know went right to lift and tires see if I could fit the biggest tires possible on a little lift and you know six inch lift cranking torsion bars as hard as it could and I don't know how I wouldn't recommend that so you know I don't know if the appearance is more important than reliability so I wouldn't let that get in the way of it for sure you know you can do a little bit of both right of the gate and that's good but it definitely wasn't a safe way to do it I think because I drive to Michigan like every year and I didn't reinforce anything it just barely fit so I hear you there everybody's got you know that little niche of the market where they want to you know I think it also matters about where you're at you know in the US or what kind of group of people you hang out with you know if you guys are hanging out with you know guys who are into the performance side of thing first and you know show up with a seven inch lift and thirty sevens and you know you kind of look different in the group of it you know that you're hanging out with but at the same time being able to you know get your individual ideas out there in the manner that you want to like I said earlier it's all about the trip of how you make these things work for yourself how you guys do those builds and you know where you're able to save money where you're able to cut some corners here and there being able to build your truck your way how you want to do it and be able to put it out on YouTube is always a big plus given some guys some ideas I know personally in my build you know I went with more appearance things first the first things that I actually did was the rhino line paint job because I just thought it was crazy and not very many people do it and I just thought it was cool so I did that one and then went up to a lift and then went other you know little things around the truck so I went a little fast ackwards there and then went to the performance side of things but I will have to admit after starting and doing these performance things to the truck I'm kind of hooked on those and if I build another truck I don't think I'll build another lifted truck again yeah agree that's just my sense into it that's why you gotta get a two of them you gotta have one for each nice that's the Cali idea that's coming out you just yeah just get another one don't worry about it not to interrupt real quick but there's a Range Rover doing donuts in the sand you better go in that water thought I would share careful make sure there's no mud things out there okay another question that we pulled off of the Instagrams was you guys started to build your trucks what would you think where your trucks are at right now is the percentage of items that you have paid for and you have put into them versus items that were sponsored what doesn't really matter whether you went after them or whether they came to you what would you say the percentage of those things are on your truck Dalton I would say I've paid for probably 90% of the things on my truck new wheels were sponsored stuff like that some people think my lift was sponsored I didn't get the lift sponsored but I was sponsored by them afterwards I guess and that was horrible timing on my part but yeah I would say probably 90% I've paid for Rory how about you 90.99 99.9% is paid for by me I got some free light bars you know it's about it oh you got some headlights coming don't forget about that one oh yeah yeah sponsored yeah I mean I've had this truck for 7-8 years now and it's just changed over the years and I never really chased the I don't know if it's my fault or not but I never really chased sponsorships I just kind of it's always doing it myself and it's just kind of how it's been how about you Josh all of it is sponsored every last dollar even the truck sponsors by you well I've I actually had my transmission like 2-3 so I built that I didn't have a builder to pay for I got a PB stage 5 triple disc yeah that's a good question I never thought about it but the things that I got was well I don't want to say everything was fully sponsored I'd probably say about I'd probably say about 80% was paid by me she knows movies more than me I'd probably say 80% for me now that I'm thinking about it I'm calculating stuff yeah that's because I've like switched out it's like Rory said I'd have to say for myself I started this thing I started a little bit later in the line I had you guys to watch I got a Duramax and I was a dodge guy prior to I'm the shop foreman at a dodge dealership so that's all I work on all day along these dodges and this gorgeous California truck comes rolling into the dealership guy traces in on a new Wrangler of all things and it was a truck I just had to have I've never had one that was nice, rust free you know just gorgeous underneath of it so I had to have it at that point literally I have to know everything about it so what I do I tuned on to YouTube to try to pass the videos and the first trans videos and started to pass stuff my trans cooler blew and that's when I turned over on to Rory's videos right after he had posted his trans cooler in the lines video oh that was old yeah exactly that was an old one there so I pulled that one up so that's where I kind of started off with things and with me doing multiple items on my channel with the truck stuff and also the tools and dealership side of things you know I've spread things out thinner in areas so I actually bided my time and didn't start into a lot of the other big things until the channel was on its way so I've gotten pretty lucky in the sponsorship stuff that I have been able to get and working with different companies to help them with you know growing their kind of things so I would say that my build is probably 70% sponsored on my side of things I think it's cool that you're talking to us man that's pretty neat I'm not saying I'm anything just cool you're watching us and then you started channel and we're on your channel that's pretty yeah legit I seriously started off things and that's how I started into YouTube was I started watching you three your guys videos and that's what kind of kept me going into you know this is something that I enjoy doing and something where I might be able to put my own spin on things as well but seeing you know guys like yourselves being able to make it work for you being able to share your guys' builds and your journey along the way I thought you know it's really cool to get stretched out into almost story form which I think is awesome and you guys do a really good job at you know showing the progression of everything you do. The crazy thing is man there's no chance like I would have thought like five years ago I'd be talking to a camera at all you know in front of a lot of people I can't stand talking in front of people I hate it but for some reason I just gave it a shot I was a truck master he's probably the one I've watched the most out of all the YouTubers and we had obviously similar interests in working on our trucks yourself so it kind of just gave me the motivation to give it a shot because a lot of the other truck YouTubers you know I'm not going to take any shots of anyone but like you know they like to just drop them off at shops sometimes and I kind of wanted to help more people I guess like Josh did with his videos which is what made me really want to get into it so it's hard it's hard seeing these builds and you know trying to come up with content that's semi-original that Josh hasn't done is one of the hardest things that I actually see in making Duramax content how many videos do you have out now Josh? I have ADHD man I'm all over the play I think that's probably if you want to be a successful YouTuber just have ADHD oh dude that's why I have it dude I'm all over the place man we go to a truck and you'll see you know truck master he sees a truck coming in and he gets something shiny just instantly right now he's like oh it's on this one follow me it's like Ice Age you know the squirrel is trying to get the nut all the time yeah that's me I don't have the HD part I definitely have the ADD my truck's HD that fits now when when you guys do your videos when you guys were starting off how hard did you find it to incorporate the camera into everything you did I think that was one of the hardest things that I did starting off was figuring out where I'm putting the camera and just having it there because I'm a flat rate technician I'm used to getting things done as fast as I possibly can so I can make money and get it out the door and then having to condense it down and slow it down and put it all on to a video that you can actually see in here you're like okay I got that part in and I looked back at the video and it was not enough like you can't see anything I got to take the damn thing back off I'm just so frustrating oh I'm still starting out what are you talking about I'm very bad at like not reviewing footage before finishing the job so I still fly through things and hope I got it and I I've kind of become too stubborn in a way where if I didn't catch it I'll explain it real quick but I don't I think that's one of my downfalls yeah I still struggle with it and then you already got it done and it's almost too late to go back and just gonna make it work I guess or there'll be those clips that you know that you absolutely forgot and you'll see in some of my videos where I'll get going into things and I'll be going through it and then all of a sudden or at the beginning of the video you see me in my garage or at the end of it is in my garage but at the rest of the video is all at the shop that's because I forgot to do an intro or an outro or a little scene so I'm like I gotta get my stuff back on gotta go out in the garage gotta make an intro or outro video yeah it sucks when you go to review it and it's like oh man there's no way that works I need to put my clothes on and go do another one yeah that part always sucks but that's also the magical editing you know editing you're able to get in and out and being able to show everything but cut out those little parts you're like wow I sound really stupid for that yeah like 80% of my footage you guys edit your videos he pays someone I just slam all the clips together now when you guys got started into the YouTube stuff what got you into doing the actual editing part of it did you guys start off doing them on your phone did you have to start off asking people how to do editing where did you guys go from that point well I started off on my phone the iMovie I did like two or three videos and then I actually used my macbook I got a new macbook because my other one was getting really slow and then I decided to get the Final Cut Pro because iMovie and Final Cut Pro kind of transferred over pretty easy so but I probably my first 20 videos were on the iMovie off my macbook pretty tough though yeah I started with a basic editing app because I had Windows at the time to EFI live tuning and all that stuff and I had started with Wondershare Filmora and just started it's a very basic and easy software so anyone wants to do any video editing it's super simple and kind of as time progressed I ended up getting I think I used Sony Vegas right now and it's a little bit more intense but it does the job for now yeah when I started off with things I started off with a couple of different ones I started off with a free one called HitFilm so it was between that and Filmora starting off with things it was free it was easy they made it super simple there's a ton of videos out there it wasn't overwhelming stitching some of these videos together it was one of the most overpriced things starting doing the YouTube channel you're like wow these people who actually do editing you know they seem to get better reviews and better you know outcome when it comes to that one so that's where I got you know kind of put on to that so I started off with that one and then probably 15 or so videos in there my wife is a tattoo artist and she does graphic designing and everything too so I started using LumaFusion on her iPad so stepped up from there and then I eventually went on to over to the big one with Dalton was saying final cut now that I've been going doing it for so long it's a lot easier I'm still not like a professional editor by any means but it's definitely getting easier using it and you're like wow you see some of these other people using that final cut and you're like I'm not even scratching the surface I know it's crazy these things I don't even know where to start with some of those edits is like some of that stuff is not my channel anyways but it's crazy what it can do yeah I think when once I get set up wherever when I'm done moving around and everything I'd like to get like a desktop Mac and actually use final cut I like Max a lot better but I was stuck with the windows for the tuning side of things so I made it work on that with what I could Ryan's Ponytail is looking legendary. Matt Grano and Rory's background right there. The Ponytail is looking legendary. Well we'll see if we can we'll go say hi. What's going on? What's up man? What's up buddy? Everybody likes tuning into to see all their Duramax awesome content. You're pretty much a legend man. I appreciate it. We got our celebrity guest on right now. Look at that. Hold on. Switch to whoever talks. What's the name of this thing? This is on Google Hangouts. It's the live stream for that to be able to have multiple people on for your live stream on you have some like super sweet like three-some webcam girl shit going on. Oh yeah. Maybe. Nerding it up a little bit. That's pretty sweet. What part of the world am I talking to right now? Every corner. Right now the guys in Australia on here. There's guys in Netherlands. I'm from Ohio. Dalton's from down in Florida. Truck Masters from up in Michigan. Welcome to our crappy California weather. Crappy. Just going in the background. You know guys doing donuts out on the beach. Yeah well it's usually sunny when we do that. I don't even know what sun looks like. You see how pale I am? Look at that. I was lucky enough I didn't get to have a nice vacation out to the Outer Banks a couple of weeks ago. I did get a little little bit of sun at least. There you go. Nice nice. So D-Max are you are you going back to SEMA this year? Is there going to be another big SEMA build? There's not going to be another build but I'll probably be back in SEMA. Hell yeah. I've got to get my money's without this one. I plan on I'm going to be there this year so I'm definitely going to be coming down there to check you out. Cool yeah definitely just go with some media this year or something like that. Actually get to enjoy if you're less like working. It's like in November right? Yeah it's November. I've never been to Vegas before so it's going to be overwhelming I'm sure. Come babe there's never a place to die it's Vegas. That's right. That final last words there's never a place to die you know. They pretty much shut down the whole city for SEMA like everything SEMA something so that's pretty cool. That is pretty awesome you know the the luck that a lot of these guys have in getting these builds put onto SEMA. I think your channel was one of the coolest ones to be able to show the step by step show that how this comes to be how much work it actually takes to put in to get a SEMA truck there you know even if you have to take it from shop to shop to shop dude there's so much that goes into it talking with however many sponsors that you had trying to make sure they're all happy trying to make sure that meets the SEMA standards and stuff that you can often write girls and shit oh yeah it's definitely I don't like to sugarcoat things so I like to show the real side of stuff and that's why I showed the entire process and then even at SEMA there was a lot of horror stories there that most people don't ever find out about so I wanted to be the guy to show it like here's what the real world's like you know not everything's great a lot of people got screwed over that went to SEMA a lot of people were unhappy so we kind of did our part to show it all it was a pretty good job at that not just saying yeah I've got a truck I'm going to put it in this booth and just show it there he actually had to work for it yeah I don't think he saw much of the truck in the booth there's so much other stuff going on there's truck master back what's up buddy I live in the country y'all so I don't have a good signal I'm from Michigan though so I guess I'm not a redneck I don't hear him yeah I don't hear Josh I hear Booth says it probably a little loud here Captain Ron said there's too many boulders taking up your bandwidth we made that joke we went up to truck master's show last year and it's one of those where's Waldo things if you go up to Michigan one of the weirdest things that they have is this they think it's cool to put boulders at the front of their houses or the front of their driveways it's like look what I found in my backyard I'm going to stick this 10 ton boulder right here see how big your boulders are nice nice look at the pictures look at the pictures well it was nice meeting y'all I got to go climb over the hill to go take a leak alrighty man we got the same up hell yeah I definitely would yeah yeah Josh back Josh audio returned I don't know maybe it's a no he said I just took a button I get lucky you know here on my channel I've got a captain Ron who is usually my tech guru when I can't figure things out hey Ron come fix it you know he's usually able to fix the things that I break I don't think he has much better internet out there Ron he's in a bolder country he's the pavers of internet put another these things rolling so Dalton with your new turbo have you had the chance to have that in your retune oh no oh no we're rolling with it for a little bit because it's been kind of so busy I've really been able to just sit down and get all that stuff worked out but it still runs for him so I noticed when I had mine I had my truck about a month and a half before I did all the turbo and I did all that kind of stuff but at the point where I put the injectors in and then I got the thing running again that my truck ran like crap I would I'd smoke out three lanes of highway trying to get on to the interstate it was absolutely horrendous can you hear me there I can hear you he's back awesome we were talking about the Ryan's diesel turbo that we had put in have you had a chance to have yours tuned yet Josh oh no I got dirty Idaho Rob tuned still running the Idaho Rob I can't hear it Josh I can hear him he can't hear me can you hear me can you hear Josh a little Josh blocked me then blocked you now we're doing photo shoots yeah I can hear Josh yep so LV7 junkies ask who's got the highest horse ponies out of everyone I don't know if everyone's gotten their truck dyno'd yet not definitely not me I think he got me beat now nah no I I was lucky I had mine on the dyno and had it like for real tuned this last week or about two weeks ago and it made such a difference that I can't even explain how awesome that turbo is once it got retuned to actually work with those injectors and everything that I did with the build it was pretty nuts he had a really type of dyno and it was able to do 603 horse at right around 200 foot pounds even though the screen there didn't show the torque numbers but it was pretty badass run yeah I'm gonna do all that probably all at once injectors head studs and all that stuff I haven't even done any of that stuff maybe me and Rory will do that yes sir there you go I got lucky enough at the shop that I work at I pulled the cab and everything as you guys saw on the videos that made it so much better but so much more of a headache being at work and having it torn apart for like a month it was it was a pretty big headache but it was well worth it getting everything just right there I just sat on the front wheels I struggled with mine my turbo was the biggest pain in the ass that I were done like up to my drug I won the turbo it was it was intake runners that were the pain oh yeah those I could see those being a real pain it wasn't bad installing them it was the nut that fell down to the back port that's not possible I still have that sitting on my shelf I sent it to Rory because he helped me through my rough times Josh has some self muted it's showing up on my screen too Josh you have yourself muted hit the little microphone icon there you go on and off so I'm doing that little time there it is I love lamp I love lamp I actually I dinoed this truck and obviously the lift and the tires are a little bit excessive I dinoed I unloaded the dino and I made a little over 200 at the wheels and like high 800, low 900s I think or something around there but that was about 40 pounds of boost and I know I peak at about 65 so I'm excited to get out and load the dino and see what it will do that's pretty good wheels too it's a giant tire stock gears too yep stock gears hey if you guys have any stock tires I can throw it on and just see what we can make you know that might not be a bad idea I could have probably done that but I just sold the Cummins wheels and tires they're 30 30's on the same load pad you just got some spare stockies laying around some steelies I got one I might have one too I can see I think my buddy I think he's got my old set still I might see if I can grab those yeah I mean I'll definitely throw them on for a good dino rip and see what we can make dude that was another crazy thing when I put it on the dino they had to put Jack the rear end down so hard that on the third run we had to let it sit enough for the tires to cool down because I went to the back and put my hands on the tires and they just stuck to it they got so hot on that dino hey can we go back to that question about the editing thing absolutely I want to hear your thoughts on where you started with editing I have an iPhone 6 I still got an upgrade okay and I've been using the iMovie since I started with my camera is Josh talking because I still can't hear him dang it I can hear him okay alright it sucks but yeah I've been using the iPhone 6 iMovie since I started with my camera it's so weird all I can hear is you guys I can't hear Josh yeah I can hear him and then actually Mark over at Kodiak Trucks just came through on chatting here and said he's got stock tires and jacks and electric impacts waiting for us perfect I'm in burnout burnout city so can you hear me can you hear me yeah I can hear you that's so weird you guys who are putting it on Truckmaster and Bertrand they're putting on this badass truck show if you guys haven't been living under a rock or anything the last couple of months or so they're having a big truck show up in North Prairie Wisconsin starting this next weekend kind of an exclusive little truck meet and then a giant one on Saturday coming up so it's going to be up there if you guys are anywhere close to that make sure you stop in what other cool stuff is going on at the truck show or around it we're having that truck show the day before yeah the exclusive one on Friday and then the big one Saturday right yeah I'm going to be getting in probably Thursday middle of the day I'm leaving Wednesday morning I got about a 17-18 hour ride but I'm going to be kind of rolling through there then I'm actually heading north up to Upper Peninsula Michigan but I don't really know the area that well so truck's going to need to be cleaned Friday Thursday I guarantee that one it's going to be bulk city yeah I'm going to pull off here oh shit those guys out in California they always have the cool shit going on so it's a 6-0 power show versus is this truck a 6-2? yeah a 6-0 gas heavy in the sand 100 bucks says the 6-0 blows up sadly 20 bucks says they both bury themselves but he's on street tires and he's on mud tires those mud tires will eat in that sand though we'll see how it goes Ryan's in on the action oh yeah we're trying to do both here I'm trying to videotape and livestream at the same time I can see Ryan he's the one instiating it we need to do a pull off here who's in? no you? you don't got the balls hook your truck up let's see it let's see it man who's going to say no to him? if D-max Rhino came up to you and said hey do you want to pull off right now? would you say no? well yeah I mean it's not his truck he's just talking about it trying to get everyone to do it no high country oh yeah they sing sweet specialty forges singing badass ready to coil over suspension Ryan's motor home or your Ford box sitting in front of your house too yeah it'll be it yeah captain ron would do it but something would break in half all the rust would snap it so what other good things are going to be at the truck show Dalton oh there's going to be all kinds of raffles well food everything I really don't know how many people are going to be there it looks to me like there's going to be a lot of people and a lot of great vendors are going to be there boost auto is going to be there fast obviously Ryan's is a service in Kodiak truck oh there they go we're moving yeah they got to they got to touch hitches and then floor it oh yeah that's the way to do it they need to slack it out and have Ryan stand in the middle of it see if it'll launch them smart they both lose checkmate Dalton hook up to one of those jet skis probably yank them both in the water I probably I know without that those suckers have some power and they're buried after the axle the most uneventful part of the truck that's awesome that was the fun for the day so Dalton what you were talking about what vendors are going to be there at the truck show boost auto for sure fast I don't know why I'm drawing a blank here but who else all kinds of like awesome raffles though like I don't know why I'm drawing a blank here but I can hear Josh he's talking either I can hear epic I can hear Josh though for real I can hear I can hear I haven't even heard anything it's like it's completely muted I know you guys are going to be doing I think the biggest coolest thing that they're going to be doing is a turbo giveaway what's going to be a result of how are you going to get into being able to win that one we're still kind of going over how we're going to enter that it's going to be obviously really simple to enter but someone that has a go I'm Honda Civic or something it wouldn't be useful for them so you'd have to kind of prove that it could fit in your vehicle you know what I'm saying if you win an L-O-I turbo and you have a Honda Odyssey it's like it wouldn't make sense exactly yeah but that's going to be amazing I absolutely love my turbo and I hear a transfer case giveaway too transfer case, yep built transfer case again probably won't be able to go in a Honda Odyssey I'm sure Rory could make it fit somehow I was going to say should we install the turbo the day it's won also make sure you have a core available if you do win so whoever wins it can even have everything done right there I'm sure heck yeah just spend an extra day or so jump it in there, yeah might as well just have it put in just have Rory put it in in a couple of hours yeah we'll put it in right out of the show right in the middle of it oh god I'm going to get myself into trouble with this you're going to do it I'll drop one of the vintage nuts into the intake runner and it'll be a good time we had a couple of people here asking Rory about your solid axle swap how in depth was that and how much of a headache was it to do that um it was it was a headache because I didn't buy a kit I didn't know what I was doing to be honest I just started cutting stuff and I took a lot of research and just planning and not so good planning to get it to work but um it works it was a hassle but I love it and I'd like to do it again you know start building kits or something because it's fun I think it's very functional it hasn't let me down yet so now what got you in the idea first off on wanting to do that solid axle swap was it just because you're doing something different or the unreliability of uh so I kind of had this dream when I bought my first Duramax I'll start with a dream compound turbo Duramax ZF6 Duramax and a solid axle swap Duramax it didn't have to all be the same truck but compound turboed the truck like 4 years ago I blew my transmission up after I rebuilt my motor I was looking for the ZF6 to come in and I had this bright idea that like kind of combine all my dreams into one and uh I just started cutting all the IFS off and then I just wanted to be different I wanted to build a one of a kind truck so that's kind of where it's just my dream like it's literally my dream truck all wrapped up into one I think it's the dream truck of a lot of people they see that solid axle under there and then they're like holy shit it's a ZF6 truck and they're like holy shit it's a compound turbo truck too yeah it's a lot of people's dreams in one truck and the hard thing is why it's kind of rare is because no one makes a kit for a compound turbo truck because the second turbo sits where the shock tower normally sits so I didn't make all my own brackets to fit the coilovers yeah it's a lot of work I think incredible build Josh is drilling over it I know I'm gonna do a YouTube video on that and I get I can't hear Josh something right with my internet or something I can hear him I can hear him should I leave and come back and see what happens yeah you can try but I plan on doing a YouTube video on everyone you got the trucks on there man I just got a document that goes together so how many SD cards are you gonna come with Josh well I'm gonna use yours for the drone I'm actually gonna bring a laptop this time oh now we got an F5P about to pull the Ford uh oh I think oh no he's so good with Chevy stuff's getting round here guys so yeah we're gonna have a lot of good footage from a lot of people there you know I'm definitely one of the ones to welcome any of the guys who are there and that we meet and everything feel free to send at least myself and I'm sure the other guys too some uh footage from it and you know I'd like to stitch together a pretty good video you know the whole thing and see what other people's views were at the show too because it's gonna be pretty bad it'd be cool to get together like uh like someone that's really really good at editing like they can do like that'd be cool maybe Josh I'd like to pay someone to do this like do like a full professional edit of the show we can bribe Josh and brother to do it yeah I don't oh yeah I know I'm bringing my drone out and everything so hell yeah I'll have my drone out there too it'll we'll get some really cool footage drone battle out there see who stays up that reminds me I really need to re-insure my drone too before I go oh shit a three way drone battle I'm gonna warn you guys so if you got the new like Maverick I got the old Phantom 4 that's huge so I got the Maverick Pro I lose because I've got a Maverick Pro 2 it's 2 on 1 hell yeah hell yeah they're pretty quick those Mavericks they're pretty quick drones you have the agility do we have any idea on how many trucks may be coming I personally have no clue on how many trucks are coming I think it's gonna be hundreds I really do it's probably gonna be hundreds you're surprising what Mark told me I do believe it last few trucks actually look at Rory's truck meet up right now there's a lot of trucks there I'm pretty shocked on that here now that's pretty good I think you'll have many more than this I think it's gonna be crazy that's impressive that was kind of a short last second thing we can see one in Rory yeah this was about two weeks ago I came up with the idea maybe not even that yeah that's pretty impressive look at those guys the word spreads fast so between everyone that we have in this group here and everyone who's going to it I think it's gonna be a huge turn out they are gonna have a dyno there as well so make sure if you are planning on going it's 100 bucks to do the dyno from what I've heard for that one it's just a good idea to call ahead of time and I'll be sure after this one you know or in the description of eight other of Josh's and Fulton's videos there's the number to Ryan's diesel service call and let them know that you'd like to put it on the dyno so they can get you know a number of how many trucks they're gonna have there so they can do get a schedule going on that one too yeah it's huge and I'm really excited I'm almost basically exhausted but gosh it's just incredible you know it's just they're not going to give you things I'm actually excited to see you guys too or in person other than Kyle that's crazy man talk all the damn time and actually in every minute so how many of you guys are gonna have a convoy coming with you Josh I know you're getting your truck hauled there by a Ford and I won't hold that against you oh man this isn't happening that one's gonna be rough I don't want Josh to be rolling last second though like that you got to get there early Josh you know what it's in the merch okay I can put it all at start though this is an American truck hauling now whoever gets there first of us somebody has to get there before Josh gets there so we can make sure to I'm sleeping in the park I'm gonna go park right there at Ryan's to see Josh rolling up get the drones up and everything he's gonna stop an hour out just to take it off the trailer so everybody who's coming to the truck meet make sure you're watching out an hour around there to see if you can see red, biramex let's see how much footage we can get him Josh rolling in seriously that's why he's bringing the trailer so I was like hey dude I'll pay half in diesel you know that was my thought anyways I mean I can't for trying to save some money for a ride and everything but when we said oh I'm not bringing my Chevy I'm bringing my Ford I really want to that's a good dude though man yeah he is 22 years old man that guy owns his own diesel performance shop you know that's just incredible pretty impressive he's doing a great job he's got a hell of a crew working on him too from what I've seen yeah he's got three experienced mechanics and then he's got a couple just intern type slash soft tech mechanics that they're all certified but you know it's really came a long way in a year so it's pretty cool to see these guys grow even the dealership that I work at we don't have that many technicians working at the dealership right now so it's kind of impressive to see that one oh yeah seems like that's always a we had a local diesel shop here and it was impossible for him to get employees like they would just keep leaving so I mean that's pretty it's impressive to be able to keep a full staff like that you know in Michigan it's a big diesel community I know it's all over the place but man there's so many diesel child here it's incredible that's what's fun about living up here it's all that's fun dude I couldn't do it man I know it's too nippily up there you're telling me I absolutely I have a passion passionate hate for the snow and I know it's only here you know you got a little worse up in Michigan but dude I hate it yeah it's it's actually I think it's worse but where my family's from have it even worse than Josh because Upper Peninsula is horrible yeah that's yeah that's it's so bad anybody from what's that you got anybody from Canada on here actually yes at least two or three of them junk from work is from as far north in Canada that you could get he's about an hour away from Alaska wow so he's way up there and then old car auto guy that was in here earlier he's from just over the border up in Maine so he's up up there in the Canadian land them canucks all right well this
