RIP Diesel Tech Ron
I read this morning that Ron Huxell (DieselTechRon) was in a fatal car accident yesterday morning on his way to work. RIP brother, so glad I got to meet this guy and have him drop some knowledge on me.

Heard it from a friend on instagram, but here's an article on the accident:

not really a member here i don't believe but a 7.3L, 6.0L diesel guru on youtube. Worked at ford dealership in Indigo CA or somewhere near that area.
He did mention desert area in last video on rear main seal replace and talked about the oil pan and how to do that if rusted which they did not see a lot of due to desert conditions.
He was one of the great guys to watch and will be missed by a lot of folks. Not sure his age but i seem to recall seeing some kids that looked to be teenagers or so.

if you never heard of him you have missed out on a lot of good videos. the latest video he did a month ago has over 7400 views..
Still have not seen or heard anything definitive about the whole deal. there was a link to newspaper article but no names etc.
