RIP Srmastertech

Guys,

Many of us knew Srmastertech through his YouTube videos and also learned how to work on our trucks because of him. I'm sure at one point or another, he's saved you or a buddy from a trip to the dealer a time or two.

Few knew of his battle with cancer and it is with a very heavy heart that I say that Srmastertech aka Rusty Bunn lost his battle with cancer on January 28th, 2016

RIP Rusty, thanks for all the help. Rest easy brother.

Ah man, I had no idea. I have watched many of his vids just to satisfy my gear head itch.

Thank you Rusty. Rest in Power! Condolences to the family.

Thanks for posting this TD. I too have benefitted from Rusty's videos and surely saved me a trip to a repair shop!

RIP Rusty (SMT)

Appreciate the update T_D......he helped more 6.0 owners than he would have ever known.
Our journey is a short one, and sometimes way too short.
