Well due to the changing situations at the current location, I am signing a lease on a building today and relocating. This will unfortunately cause some major disruption temporarily in current operations but in the end will yield a much more efficient place to do business! Change is a good thing, this will allow me to be in house with nearly all of my machine work and keep much better track of inventory, deadlines, and over all work production in general. Looking forward to taking the chaos out of the day to day and getting Venomous injection services up and rolling as well. God has always got my back!

What a absolutely crazy year 2021 turned out to be! 2022 is looking just as chaotic but I believe the chaos will be more controllable, big things coming and will be looking before long for a couple young and willing to learn employees. Venomous Injection Services will kick off once I get time to set the equipment up, full inhouse Machine work is nearing the list of accomplishments as well, so no more lead time on third party or extra time double checking others work. As far as the shop work goes we're no longer accepting pre 2008 repair work, want to build a performance street or race truck then we can still discuss that. New engine builds will all start including entire injection system testing/rebuilding. We're working on the fabrication building as well so that hopefully by summer all activities will be done on the same property with much less travel time back and forth constantly. At current we're backed up beyond approximately mid April and a 2 week shut down will take place as soon as buildings are ready to shuffle things and get the madness organized. I greatly appreciate the patience of the few customers that have had to wait and wait for one reason or another on their trucks and trust me I do understand the need of getting your truck back to you but not at the cost of quality work. Here's to a better 2022 and beyond for all of us in this insane industry right now, we're all doing our best to stay on top of things!!

COMING SOON!!! Venomous Injection Services, we will offer full testing of common rail injectors and pumps, once up and rolling with suppliers sourced for parts rebuilds and custom injection builds will be available as well. I'm going to ensure everybody has an affordable option to have their stuff tested, don't throw unknown components in your new engines anymore!!!

We are getting ready to add common rail injector testing/rebuild services to our list, eventually we will offer pump services as well. We already offer full mechanical injection pump and injector testing, rebuilding, and performance modifications but common rail systems require an entirely different setup for testing and calibration equipment. Give me some feedback on what you all are paying for full data testing (not just a pass/fail test) so I can start determining a fair way to price these services. Yes performance injectors and pump modifications are in the plans as well. Let me know the going rates for these types of services across the country. Customer will pay shipping both ways but this will be a beyond local service so I need some feedback. Thanks!

This past year has given me the opportunity to seriously evaluate the direction I want to take this business and I have determined to go back to my original business plan. From this point forward we will only be accepting jobs for 2008 and newer 6.4 and 6.7 Powerstrokes, I will however still rebuild engines/transmissions for Cummins and Duramax but they will have to be dropped off and picked back up. We are going to spend more time focusing on the performance side of the business like the original business plan outlined, fabrication, and building Hot Rods/Rat Rods in between other jobs. I will still take care of the customers with 6.0 PS that I have done complete solutions jobs on but will no longer be offering that service in the future. Thanks for the continued support and have a blessed day!!!

This has been a crazy past 14-15 months and nothing has been normal about it but I keep plugging along! I just wanted to take a moment to say, if you bring us a truck to work on and the wiring has been hacked, chopped, sliced, diced, or spliced like this, we will refuse to work on your truck! This is unacceptable and unless you wish to start with a new harness and labor to install it then I'll deny the job, this tells me that nothing has ever been properly repaired or replaced and it will be a major headache that I don't need to deal with. (Not my pic, I stole it from a group)

We didnt take this jigsaw puzzle apart (we were brought the engine to rebuild) yet the other shop that did take it apart declined to install the rebuilt engine due to it being "non rebuildable" so this week has been challenging. Turns out a 2018 skidsteer is a very complicated nightmare 😂😂😂

Haven't had a chance to post in awhile, life has been very very hectic lately! We have relocated and are slowly getting back into being able to get some work done. Our phone # has not changed but until we get better situated it is unlikely to be able to reach us on it. We are back logged at least 2 months out and are trying to accommodate the smaller jobs in between the bigger jobs so we appreciate everybody's patience. The new address is 14408 US RT 66 Conway MO 65632, if you need to reach us temporarily either email us at [email protected] or call my cell at 417-664-2069.

These past few months have brought upon all of us a wave of financial uncertainty, some of us worse than others but all have been affected, especially in the small business sector!! We've battled and over come many obstacles at our shop, including making our mind up to finally relocate. Things will be extremely tight for a while during the construction of the new facility but we will adapt and over come as we always do! This has been a back burner thought for a while now since we want out of the city, we want to start working on agricultural equipment and medium to heavy diesel rigs as well and our current location is not suited to allow that. We will post more updates as we move ahead with this process and we will be reachable for emergency repairs via cell phone during the move. BIG THINGS ARE COMING, I am excited about this change and ready to get started. SUPPORT SMALL BUSINESS, NOT BIG INDUSTRY! Small businesses should be helping each other out at this time and not throwing other small businesses under the bus or putting them down, I see this take place daily both in person and online. One surefire way to lose my respect and my promotion of your business is by publicly putting another shops name into the ground, I don't care how good you might or might not be its very unprofessional. I get asked all the time why i recommend one powerstroke engine builder and not the others, the answer is simple! Professionalism and a quality product, if they're within a reasonable distance then of course i will recommend they bring them to me but usually they're going to be mailing their engine and i don't deal with that headache. Hope everyone has stayed safe and sane during this COVID-19 Pandemic, and healthy, God Bless you all.

I must say that im pretty disappointed in Warren 6.0 reman injectors and will no longer recommend using them, their performance injectors might be good but the reman units have a high failure rate, warranty doesn't cover labor so when a reman fails in less than 10 miles it has to be torn back into before ever reaching the customer and that's pretty sad!!
