    Thanks for fixing it up!!! she sounds great now!
  • @ramosel
    I'm a retired engineer... and SCCA racer. I know the tik-tok weirdo crowd would look right past this sort of video. I found this utterly fascinating. This is engine porn at it's best. I can't imagine there are more than 3 places on the planet who could do this work... let alone "WOULD" do this work. This is a one of a kind repair in this era. Thank you ADS for putting this out.
  • @MOzarkMike
    3825 for a turbo and 3500 for a dozer leaves about $500,000 of headroom before you hit the cost of a new dozer. So if Matt’s salvaged machine pushes dirt for a couple years, he’s coming out way ahead!
  • @Gyppor
    I would like to point out that despite always mentioning that the experts know much more than he does, the excellent narrator/host knows precisely what is going on at every juncture to the point of explaining everything in intricate detail. Well done!!

    I just wanted to stop by and thank you for supporting many of my most favorite YouTubers. I’ve never heard anything but rave reviews about your customer service and quality of work. Everyone says that you always go above and beyond. It’s great to know that there are still people and companies like you/yours that are out there bending over backwards to keep their customers happy and working. And, by trickle down default, you keep America working. God Bless You, and God Bless America 🇺🇸
