You're spot-on, Curtis. I watched a few of his vids more for the comedic aspect than anything else. The only thing that I think you can gleam from the vids is a look at the inside of whatever you're working on if you've never been into it before. I watched his WW install and found at least a half dozen incorrect statement and flat out wrong info. Then he installed & removed the wheel with and **IMPACT WRENCH**. 
That turd wouldn't set foot anywhere near my truck...

The only reason I even bother with him, I watch the video's with no sound, and I come up with my own conclusion on what needs to be done and how. And if something comes up i'm puzzled about, I'll ask it here on FTE or any knowledgeable forum site for that matter.

Watch the PMR vs Forged rod video. His some of his outrageous claims include that PMR's bread because of high RPM's (false), that they break from tension instead of pressure (false), and that the 7.3L PMR's are just as strong as 6.0L PMR's (false).
There are other videos where he is flat out ripping off his customers. The first is out of ignorance, the second is **** poor workmanship. In this first video, he has a PSD come in for new injectors. He pops them in and sends the truck on it's way, all the while claiming it ran fine when it left the shop. A few weeks later the truck shows up with a cracked piston. The problem in this video is that he used Pensacola Injectors, which are the absolute worst injectors you can buy. Their build quality is crap, they don't flow match or bench test any of them, and I am positive he put a bad injector in that pissed out so much fuel it put a hole in the piston. Yet that guy still loves Pensacola Injectors, and fails to see where the problem is.
YouTube - FUBAR 7 3 NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE
In this 2nd video, the guy can't even build a transmission that will make it beyond several thousand miles. Instead he is blaming the gearing on the truck for burning up the clutch material inside the trans. By doing so, he is even stating that the guy is getting no warranty on his transmission. What a load of crap. Get a good quality trans builder like BTS or John Woods, and they don't make excuses like this guy. They can and do build transmissions that handle much more abuse, and they still honor their warranty too. So basically, he is completely ripping off his customer in this video.

There was another one where a customer "FUBARED" his turbo, and he was claiming that the customer was running 40 to 50 lbs. of boost on a stock turbo

Well did'nt I get a slap in the face....as a first time diesel owner, I was looking to learn all I could about the PSD, When I happen to come across that site.
I had no Idea, and I had no intent to starting an argument, and the degradation of his, and my knowledge of the PSD. After all, isnt the purpose of these forums to help others? That was my only intention!!!!
I learned more from this thread than I had ever intended....

Its just sad that people like PSH get out there and give all these people bad advise I guess so when it goes wrong that can take it to a mechanic or him and have him "fix it". Hang around here you'll find out all you need to know and more

Oh, and I'm an idiot and forgot the link in my previous post to the second video I was talking about (the one where he ripped off the customer with his shoddy transmission build):

If you are truly looking to learn about the PSD, is it not better to get more than one side of the story, listen to each argument, and make your decision from there?
We would be happy to discuss any particular video you have a question about. If the video is correct, we'll tell you. If there's something wrong in the video, we can tell you specifically what is wrong and why, instead of just saying he's wrong.

I appreciate veryones feedback, and I appologise for jumping on the defensive, I just figured everyone was gonna gang up on the new guy (me). Im just trying to learn all I can about these engines without asking a million questions and tying up all the threads.
I actually did a search on FTE before I posted, and did not come up with any info on the PSH site. So thats why I thought I would share it....
No harm, no foul...And yes I have been a member since 2006, but up intil a few weeks ago, I owned a gas F250 that I never had a problem with, so I never posted, I just read, and learned. But I just brought home a 220,000 mile PSD, and thats what brought me here to the diesel threads for the first time. Hope I did'nt wear out my welcome?
