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.

 

this is very sad day, what newspapers did you read this.

 

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

VALLE VISTA: Fatal crash involved sleepy driver, un-seatbelted victim, CHP says - Press Enterprise

 

member here??? i don't remember ever hearing the name mentioned in any posts.

 

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.

 

Major loss to his family of course as well as the small diesel community (us) that he embraced...
RIP Ron....

 

ok, than that is why i never heard of him.
i don't do youtube or any of those sites.

 

your loss. Ron's video's were very helpful.. to each his/her own..

he will be miss for sure.

 

X2... He had a lot of great time and money saving tips especially for the 7.3 and 6.0 crowd.

 

That guy was awesome with his videos. I used them all the time. I am even subscribed to them. Definitely the best YouTube diesel mechanic I ever watched.

RIP and condolences to the family.
