I've watched him for awhile, used to be subscribed. Got repetitive after awhile, but interesting channel for sure. Helped me a bit repairing the basket case Bayou 400 I have. Recently got into Pole Barn Garage, he's pretty funny.

I think the margins are obscene. You could probably build one from scratch from remanufacturer s, and still be 100k what they are asking. I understand there's a cost of doing business, but $325k for a restored F250 with a crate driveline is ridiculous.

Was watching this Jay Leno's Garage video on Youtube - some company in Fl bilds custom Broncos and now old Ford trucks.

Watch this and tell me if these vehicles are worth anywhere NEAR the MSRP they mention..

Easy for Leno to say "Thant's not bad!".

Am I wrong that i think these are WAY overpriced?

That compressor clutch died a slow death.. I wonder if the WP pulley/shaft/bearing got dinged when the clutch seized at speed.

They don't need anywhere near the amount of staff they have, automation could/can and will replace them.

Good. At least SOME balance from the bullshit main-stream media we currently have. I wonder how much actual control the noted three will have, if any. I still think they won't let Elon buy Twitter. It's much too powerful of a tool to let someone that seems outside of the cabal to control.

Welcome to the board, Billy. Bookmark the Vortex site, it's an indispensable tool.

I see no reason NOT to run one in any turbocharged car. I plan on installing one in the wife's '16 2l Fusion. Mostly to try to keep the valves clean as it's a direct injection engine.

OK. I saw a video on Youtube years ago about how to add a Blluetooth module to them.. May be a nice addition.
