It is really admirable how you compliment and encourage your employees. Constantly being criticized and underappreciated is the number one cause of burnout in this field. Knowing that you are valued and what you bring to the table is noticed and appreciated is like fuel that gets you going every morning and makes you love what you do.
Agree! I have to keep working on not criticizing, because that seems to come so easily. The higher and better way takes effort, but far out performs the easy way. Thanks for your feedback and for watching.
@@DavesAutoCenterCentervilleYou are doing a great job Sir!, and you are inspiring to me, and I'm assuming to most people watching your videos. The way in which you handle your employees is what I want to be like when I manage a team one day. This is so important regardless of the industry we are in. Much love from South Africa🤝
@DavesAutoCenterCenterville nah, I know how it goes. I'm as pro at interior trim as you are at deep, production engine builds. There is no substitute for brains+god given talent. That's what you demand of your crew. That's how you hire. Every once in a while, one slips through that gets the rage and walking papers.
@@michaelraddish7898 $15,000 or more for what we’re watching not to mention $8000 for a new transmission if you’re towing with it it will never make 100,000 miles maybe 150 if you never tell with it every piece of this truck is junk and people who buy them are brainwashed
Give that man a raise! So many people nowadays cut corners. His persistence to stay at that high of quality usually is a good sign that he respects the people he works for. This has to be the best shop in the USA
@@DavesAutoCenterCenterville I wish they were. But as an ME I love how Dave’s mind works. He wants to understand why things work and how they fail. Makes us engineers very proud. It’s the only way to actual push innovation to a level we can’t see yet. I aspire to be this gray bearded man as a engineering grandpa one day
I really admire what Dave has done. This is no BS, and I'm not schmoozing for gold stars, but Dave's shop could a Master Class in auto repair. The shop is clean, techs are trained, and Dave provides them with good equipment to work with.
@@DavesAutoCenterCenterville What you do is what I called MBO. Management by walking around. Employees will respect and follow a leader who isn't afraid to get in the trenches with them. It's a win in all directions. Improved morale, reduced turnover, better quality, better teamwork, greater success, and you're all over it. I enjoy watching your coaching and teaching moments as much as the repairs.
Dillon is one top notch guy. You must be very blessed to have him on your team. I would have to say that your whole team are very very good at their jobs. That includes you too Dave😂. Thanks for sharing another great video Dave. Y’all have a safe Memorial Day weekend. Take care and stay safe.
Watching this man touch this truck is like watching Picasso paint the Mona Lisa, I respect this on every level possible. Thank you Dave for everything you provide for these young men.
What's more impressive is the amount of parts that have to come off before the motor comes out and have to remember where each bolt and nuts goes without have any extras.
My man Dillon out here identifying the actual cause of a failure and not just replacing what broke. Being a technician instead of a parts changer. Good man. Edit: however…. I don’t like to see anyone drawing the engine and transmission together with an impact. That’s how you cross thread it and strip the threads out.
*mechanic* not parts changer or ‘technician’. Also, threads are the absolute least of your worries for things that can happen if you don’t know what you’re doing/get impatient pulling them together like that. But that’s why you never force it…if it ain’t goin smooth, better figure out why.
Where was this guy when I was an apprentice. My master tech yelled and all sorts. I was counselled and disciplined over dumb stuff. Week one I was left to do a brake job by myself. Week two full drivetrain removal and diagnosis of issues. Then given an official warning because I didn’t do it correctly. Dave need any apprentices? My boy needs a job!
“Engine’s broke in before you get it” Thanks man. I try to tell people this all the time I’m gonna forward the video to em. Highest regards from the Hoosier state
It sure goes a long way to let your employees know what you think and to compliment their work. That simple compliment probably made his day and boosted him up. What a great environment you have there Dave!
I've noticed Dillon appearing more frequently in videos. Dave is always raving about him and especially in this episode he is so so proud to have him on his team. I think Dillon is getting a raise soon lol
Love seeing another fellow technician torque and paint mark all their bolts. Any time I have an engine apart I follow the same procedure, just a visual reminder to anyone who looks that someone who cared worked on your vehicle
You guys are absolutely amazing. I'm a hobbyist mechanic and a Mechanical Engineer and I'm amazed at how sharp your team members are. Excellent job, Sirs and a great video. It's a real testament to the quality of your work. I wish you much continued success.
You know , this is entertainment !!!! REAL WORLD at its finest !!! I never would have guessed that an engine of this Colossal magnitud , would get replaced by none other than Dave and his team!!! I congratulate you guys enormously!!!! I also learned the 4 C’s today and that an engine this size gets swapped lifting the whole body in order to get at all the goodies !!! Man what content!!!! A huge thumbs up and shout out to Dave and his team !!!!!
@@LiquidSm0ke if you're looking it is the post from feb 19, 2022 at 703,000 miles, I cut off the costs in the photo because some was related to previous employment... however it gives a great insight as to how often (or un-often) maintenance was required/performed.
Brother that is incredible. I love duramax trucks. I’ve had a couple. Around 250k I will sell a truck The last Duramax I had was a lMM and it went 298xxx before I sold it. STOCK INJECTORS. STOCK TRANSMISSION. tuned and all the basics since it had 120k. I’m crazy about my maintenance, cooling, and over filtering maybe that helped.
This guy knows how to treat an employee. I know I only get a real quick snapshot of his interacts with them. He seems to treat them in a great way. You do hear this kind of talk in most auto mechanic shops.
Wow, lifting the body off the frame to swap an engine, my how things have changed. My compliments to Dillon for his attention to detail and his work ethic. Not so common anymore. Enjoyed the video, thank you.
I love your shop and look forward to every video. I wish I had you as a manager, very positive. I was an engineer on jet engines for 36 years. They could learn alot from your approach, shop technique, management style, etc. 🙌
Dillon is the man! He worked on a few vehicles of mine before going to Dave’s. Stand up guy. Love these videos seeing good work being done so the customer can trust that their car will run as good as new if not better!
Dave, you are so lucky to have the mechanic you do it’s clear to see he is very thorough. He loves his job and he takes pride in his work. It’s so difficult to find young men that are passionate and do excellent work. I hope you pay him well as you know it’s not easy finding good technicians. I had to be a $20,000 job out the door. 6.4 cores that are any good are getting difficult to find at some point in the new near future it’s gonna be very hard to rebuild those things as the parts get more and more scarce only made them three years in a super duty. There are some shops and won’t work on them and I don’t blame them. I like how he even pressure washers the chassis before installing the engine. He did that job the same way I would have kudos to your team and to you for a job. Well done.👍👍
I love to see work done the right way. Really enjoy the videos and the overall professionalism and work ethic. You guys have been a joy to watch and thank you so much for what you do for your customers and for the community.
I cannot imagine how much capital goes into equipping a shop this big and complete. It takes real guts to pour so much of your hard earned cash and whatever you need from banks to come up with such an amazing place, hoping to get a return. Not to much the years of training to get to a place where guys like Joey are so instinctive and competent. It’s like an orchestra conductor making music using a few hundred musicians everything in its proper place at the right time.
You got yourself an awesome tech I remember him being new and you giving him a box the positivity you show your employees is what boosts your quality work your shop pumps out keep it up lovin the tips and solutions to issues
How does this man not have his own tv show on history channel or Discovery?? Id kill to work at a shop like this and have this kind of leadership/mentoring. Dave reminds me of my very first platoon Sgt. This guy knew his stuff backwards and forwards, but was quick to call you out for a mistake, but in a way you remembered and wouldn't make again.
Love how you show your show and how all small things that need to be replace , correcting all the issues before handing back to the customer . Oh the F1 sound effects you use are from when F1 ran V8 and V10, i like it . Thanks David and crew
I love this channel. I don't even change my own oil and you guys might as well be doing brain surgery..... but I love there are people with mechanical knowledge that can look at an engine and know how it goes apart and know how it goes back together it is just fascinating to watch
Dave you are a golden example of how the automotive industry needs to operate. Also it shows how bad the industry has gotten when someone has to drive states away to get their truck fixed.
Hello from Africa! Again what a tasty episode! For a recap, you got a new block and then got some donor parts from another engine that you did research on and fit into the original engine! It would be interesting if you could show us how you bolted the engine back and how you re-attach the cabin to the chassis!
Man I can’t get enough of this Dave! I’m a boat technician and the 4 Cs apply to our field as well. It’s great to see how much you let your guys know you are proud of them and give them credit when it’s due! Dillon is a top notch tech!
Dave, the way you treat your team of Technicians is simply amazing. Watching you bring out the highest level of workmanship in every one of them, is exactly why your company has become the best of the best....I could only imagine what you could do as a Team Principle in F1. I'm thinking VCARB F1, you and Danny Ric would make a hilarious duo, and you'd be just a stones throw from Imola!!👍🏁
Monaco this weekend.... here's to an exciting race at this historic venue! Love all of your videos, especially the ones you post of your faith in God, and the charitable contributions you provide to those in need. May God continue to bless you and your family, as well as your entire team at the shop! 🙏❤️🙏
11:58 Wow 🤩 that’s absolutely amazing how you guys take apart the engine from the truck I will watch a whole episode or video just to appreciate how amazing this process is…no wonder Dave’s is the best in the west !!!Saludos!!!👋😃👋
Yet another top class episode Dave. You do the best jobs by employing the best staff, then keeping them fully motivated to do nothing but their very best work. You sure know how to run your business for the benefit of every one concerned. Great to see you have a new Vixen cabinet, I first came across wet blasting back in 1980, what a truly great bit of kit they are. Many thanks. David in the UK.
Wish we still got 6.4s in the shop they paid decent labor times, once in a blue moon I still get one and get all excited. It’s funny a lot of shops even dealers won’t touch them anymore.
6.4’s are not bad engines. Some good and some are lemons. Same with 6.7’s and 6.0’s. My 6.4 has been a good one so far but I’m waiting on the day when I’ll need to pull it out and build it. Always be prepared!
@@hank1556 not all but as far as towing you won’t find anything stronger. I’ve had new 6.7 powerstrokes and Cummins. Neither compare and weren’t as responsive as the 6.4
Looking good Dave, I always use a couple of bolts with the head cut off as a dowel screwed into the block to align the engine and transmission, L10 Cummins, Detroit Diese 60 series D DECK 4,3.
Dillon is the PowerStroke(& diesel) man over there! Nice to have someone so knowledgeable in the field! Love everything you're doing there Dave! We need the SOA dimpled pistons along with total seal rings in all these diesel motors to see the drastic improvement they're going to make in the diesel community! I'd love to have a set in my old 275k+ mile '00 7.3 f250 someday when I rebuild it, after it dies someday(got another 200k+ to go atleast before that[could hppen]. I just put injectors in it last summer)! Diesel power forever! 💪🏻🛢️🚦🚜🚧⚡💥💨
excellent video as always. always wanted a 6.4, they are actually quite powerful if done right! can’t say enough good things about those s&b body mounts. very good product. have a set on my 14 6.7 powerstroke and the difference is night and day. feels way more solid as well.
Dave you can judge a man by how he raised his son and your son is awesome I have watched you two interact in many videos. He's so lucky he gets to work with a loving father nothing beats that my friend you have been a great father that's obvious. And that's the most important measure of a man in my book. He will remember it all down the road and miss the hell out of you.
great video. how you show the details and complexity of removing engine. and so many novest think its easy. the machines and equipment you have is awesome
This in my country would be classified as a Monster Truck!. It does not need gigantic tractor tires, just the fact that Dave was having problems trying to get in says a lot about the size of this thing!. What a beast!.
Sounds like you ain't ever seen a 4x4 on 42 inch tires, hell if you think that's big last I checked 54 inch tires were the largest production tires. Might be bigger by now
Yall do great work, I would really like to send my tuck to yall but I'm super far away in tenn. I got a 6.7 cummins. Head gasket jus blew on it. Amazing work as always men
There was nothing wrong with that block throw it in your new fancy blater clean it up throw some oversized bearings in it some jbweled and run it down the strip for some 6 second passes lol!!!!!!! Love your videos you definitely know your stuff the engineers think you dont but thats normal its the mechanic that has to fix there shotty work!!!!!
No moss, but I had grass growing on my right side carpet next to the door, 95 Dodge 2500 with a leaky heater core.I knew a couple of technicians in the late 80's who really knew their business, they could knock a job out. I gave up and went truck driving instead.
that fancy machine is nice for blasting n cleaning. however a blast pot with walnut shell, and a gate valve on the air inlet of the blast pot to regulate CFM down low enough that the nozzle pressure is less than 20psi. you can do amazing cleaning. i call it ultra low pressure blasting.

Dillon is the PowerStroke(& diesel) man over there! Nice to have someone so knowledgeable in the field! Love everything you're doing there Dave! We need the SOA dimpled pistons along with total seal rings in all these diesel motors to see the drastic improvement they're going to make in the diesel community! I'd love to have a set in my old 275k+ mile '00 7.3 f250 someday when I rebuild it, after it dies someday(got another 200k+ to go atleast before that[could hppen]. I just put injectors in it last summer)! Diesel power forever! 💪🏻🛢️🚦🚜🚧⚡💥💨
excellent video as always. always wanted a 6.4, they are actually quite powerful if done right!
can’t say enough good things about those s&b body mounts. very good product. have a set on my 14 6.7 powerstroke and the difference is night and day. feels way more solid as well.
Watching Dillon and Joey remove and tear down these engines is amazing.
Looks like you have an amazing job. You jump right in to help. I can only imagine the quality of your work.
Thank you very much!
The amount of components on these trucks blows my mind.
Dave you can judge a man by how he raised his son and your son is awesome I have watched you two interact in many videos. He's so lucky he gets to work with a loving father nothing beats that my friend you have been a great father that's obvious. And that's the most important measure of a man in my book. He will remember it all down the road and miss the hell out of you.
great video. how you show the details and complexity of removing engine. and so many novest think its easy. the machines and equipment you have is awesome
Thank you very much!
Dude!!! You and your crew are awesome!!!!!!! Down here in Texas! With RESPECT!!!
I appreciate that
That moss is ridiculously! I’ve seen moss on vehicles before but they’ve all been sitting a LONG time.
You can call the truck Mossy
This in my country would be classified as a Monster Truck!. It does not need gigantic tractor tires, just the fact that Dave was having problems trying to get in says a lot about the size of this thing!. What a beast!.
Near the end, Dave said "Drive it like you stole it!". Golden!!!. Great job Dave and crew. Your professionalism is the gold standard in the industry.
my country thinks your country is a little bitch for not allowing your people to do what they want
Sounds like you ain't ever seen a 4x4 on 42 inch tires, hell if you think that's big last I checked 54 inch tires were the largest production tires. Might be bigger by now
@@DocHolliday384158” Mickey Thompson Baja Pro XS tires
It definitely needs oversize tires. Stock is boring .
I just don't got tired of watching your videos! It's like a netflix show
Love all your content Dave!!! Keep up the good work
Thanks so much!
Like the great Bill Hewitt said 0:27 these trucks are basically throwaways with these engines I would just do a 6.0 swap
Yup. I watch all of his videos
I'm sure it's been said many times before on here , but they don't build them like they used to.
That's a damn brand new truck
Yall do great work, I would really like to send my tuck to yall but I'm super far away in tenn. I got a 6.7 cummins. Head gasket jus blew on it. Amazing work as always men
There was nothing wrong with that block throw it in your new fancy blater clean it up throw some oversized bearings in it some jbweled and run it down the strip for some 6 second passes lol!!!!!!! Love your videos you definitely know your stuff the engineers think you dont but thats normal its the mechanic that has to fix there shotty work!!!!!
these quys are amazing to know where every bolt and all the rest to go in the right place WOW.
Dave I’m binge watching your videos right now but I’ll tell you this your awesome man
I love the look of the 08-10 trucks I just can’t justify the damn 6.4 in em
When you take pride in what you do the final product is always excellence
This mechanic deserves 3 days of work. And payed for 5 days.
Of book says 3 and he does it in less let him off if he wants it.
Gosh, that's impressive, worth every cent for that level of quality.
I would bet that 6.4 cost the trucks owner $18000 dollars. LOL
07 lbz still going strong @278,000 miles …..glad I made a good choice back in the day
Top job as usual Dave you've got a great team there
Dave....you have some damn good people working for you ! ! ! ! ! !
Tradesmen are artists. So much experience they make it look easy.
God i have so much respect for mechanics like this
That truck looks just like mine,but I have a 6.0 litter & I will go to Dave’s & get it done right,great job ❤
Thanks 👍
Incredible!
Love watching you guys at work!
🫡🤜🫶🤛🫡
I can take a screenshot of any interaction with your sons and employees and put it in a textbook on how to lead any organization. Well done
Very interesting, I learned something new in every video. I love how Dave respects the people that work for him.
I Keep trying to get better at relationships - so important 👍
No moss, but I had grass growing on my right side carpet next to the door, 95 Dodge 2500 with a leaky heater core.I knew a couple of technicians in the late 80's who really knew their business, they could knock a job out.
I gave up and went truck driving instead.
Love the cleaning machine they acquired. Only the Best 😊
Love the detail you guys go through.
that fancy machine is nice for blasting n cleaning. however a blast pot with walnut shell, and a gate valve on the air inlet of the blast pot to regulate CFM down low enough that the nozzle pressure is less than 20psi. you can do amazing cleaning. i call it ultra low pressure blasting.
