Video Description

Video sponsored by BRUNT: https://bruntworkwear.com/DAVESAUTO Use code "DAVESAUTO" for $10 off your first order of $60 or more A customer had his $40,000 high-performance Duramax engine seize after only 6,000 miles, and the story behind it is… complicated. We dig into the build sheet, talk with the previous shop, and try to untangle all the he-said/she-said to figure out what really happened. Once we tear the engine down, things definitely don’t look like what you’d expect from a brand-new $40K build. Follow along as we investigate the failure, break down the parts, and try to help the owner get to the truth.
