I would like to update my customer, as many of you may have experienced difficulties reaching me over the weekend due to a phone issue. I have acquired a new device, but unfortunately, my previous phone was not backed up, resulting in the loss of all contacts. If you sent me a message after Saturday, I have not received it. Could you please take a moment to send me a text with your name so I can update my records and ensure I have everyone's contact information saved. Sorry for the inconvenience

Over the weekend, one of our valued customers generously devoted time from his weekend to weld a flatbed onto one of our shop trucks, demonstrating exceptional workmanship and efficiency as a fellow small business owner. He will return this weekend to repair several structural poles in our newly acquired facility, which marks a significant milestone as our first owned property, holding great sentimental value for me as it represents the culmination of hard work and perseverance. I am deeply grateful for the progress we have made and encourage you to support another small business owner based in Wise County if you require any welding services. Our shop truck will be sent out to a couple of local businesses for repainting of the roof and front fender, as well as installation of a new set of tires. We will continue to support the small businesses that support us.

Another unit completed and ready for delivery!!! A customer contacted us to install a Banks Monster Ram on his 2012 Ram to prevent the well-known grid heater failure. During the installation, we also discovered that the unit was missing a throttle delete, so we took the initiative to include it at no additional cost. Furthermore, the vehicle had a power steering leak, which we diagnosed using dye and determined was originating from the front seal on the pump. We replaced the power steering pump, and the truck is now ready for pickup. I am diligently working to get back on schedule, as I have several larger projects currently underway. We anticipate returning to our regular schedule early next week!!

Earlier this week, I successfully completed a repair on a New Holland c227 loader. The customer initially reported that the fan was making contact with the radiator. Upon further inspection, I discovered that the fan blades had lost pitch and damaged the radiator. Additionally, I observed that the belts were beginning to fray. While addressing these issues, the customer elected to replace the serpentine belt and AC belt. During the belt removal process, I also identified a faulty bearing in the water pump, whereas all other pulleys were in good condition. The necessary repairs, including the replacement of the water pump, belts, fan assembly, and radiator, have been completed, and the loader is now ready for service.

Today, we performed a routine service on an LML Duramax. I had previously completed a head job on this unit last year, during which I recommended replacing several wear items known to fail. The customer invested significantly in these repairs. Over the past year, the truck has accumulated approximately 20,000 miles without experiencing any downtime or requiring a return visit to the shop, aside from a couple of fuel injector return oring leaks that were addressed during routine oil changes. During the oil change, we collected an oil sample for analysis to assess the engine's health and provide the customer with peace of mind through data-driven insights into potential future failures. By doing so, we can proactively address any issues, rather than reacting to unexpected repairs.

It has been a busy couple of weeks, with our shop fully loaded and necessitating long working hours to catch up. The steady influx of calls and constant truck movement is undoubtedly a positive problem to have. Today, we are releasing a 2003 6.0 Powerstroke. A customer had been informed by another shop that injector replacement was necessary, and they provided a quote. The customer sought a second opinion and brought the vehicle to us. The initial quote from the previous shop included stock remanufactured injectors, but the customer desired upgraded performance. We contacted our suppliers and secured a set of Warren Diesel 175cc injectors with stock nozzles at the same price. Additionally, we included a new set of ball tubes from PPE. As a standard practice, we replace ball tubes and stand pipes when installing new injectors to prevent potential future issues. Since this truck is a 2003 model, it only features ball tubes. The vehicle is now operational, equipped with new tune files from Blessed Performance. As a 6L specialist, I must admit to feeling slightly envious after test-driving the truck. I intend to order the same set of injectors for our shop truck soon.
