Keith Browning Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 I wanted to like what this guy is doing. This website was mentioned here before but I recently caught a topic on upper engine oil changes on TDS and this site was mentioned. I revisited this site and sat down to watch his videos. How many inaccuracies can you spot in this video alone? Do you think this guy really know what he is talking about? For someone taking pot shots at dealership service departments I expected better. There are more videos @ powerstrokehelp.com It reminds me of that Diesel Radio... sales pitch. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/popcorn.gif YOU TUBE VIDEO REMOVED SEE BELOW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad Clayton Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Well before the bashing goes to far, I used to live in Alanta Ga and ran around with this guy and basically taught him everything he knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Browning Posted December 3, 2008 Author Share Posted December 3, 2008 VIRUS ALERT The embedded YouTube video in the this topic has been removed. Apparently some sort of relatively aggressive virus is affecting certain embedded YouTube videos. Some are saying it affects IE and Firefox users, while others say it's only going after IE. The virus is called Actns/Swif.T and seems to contain a redirect to a phishing website embedded within a SWF file. The site apparently installs Antivirus 2009, which is malware. Be careful because this one appears to have just broken out today. If you find yourself being automatically redirected or experience other weird pop-ups, especially for something called Antivirus 2009, don't click on anything.

Jim Warman Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Brad.... the fountain of knowledge can be an odd place.... A student may visit - but there is no assurance that he might carry away all that was offered. An instructor can only offer knowledge.. the rest is up to the pupil. Though I have only seen one of this gentlemans productions, I have already begun to form an opinion about the rest of them. It ain't real flattering. I would suggest that you look beyond the messenger... look at the message and base your judgement on that.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Clayton Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 I'm just kiddin'. I have never met that screwball, but I did live in Marietta GA which is a stones throw from Atlanta.

kridd12 Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 I can't believe that jim actually tried to be diplomatic, he's always been the freak out first then review the situation later kind of guy.

Alex Bruene Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 This must be the video on the fabled "top end oil change", but since the video had been removed, one can only assume... It seems the worlds greatest techs (found at TDS of course) now put Bill Hewitt next to God himself... this was my response... I'm sure this will piss alot of people off, but I have to get this off my mind... Okay, so I finally made the time to watch the video on the almighty "top end oil change"... It took the whole first clip, and up to about 3 minutes of the second clip for me to realize that it is no more than snake oil. First of all, the dude contradicts himself over and over... first he says that the oil in the top end never really gets changed, then he goes on to say, "ever notice how your new oil turns black right after you start the engine, it's because of the 3 quarts of oil caught in your top end"... yadayadayada... so, if it remains in the top end, how does it get down to the oil pan to make the oil black? Then it was a bunch more BS and trying to sell stuff off his website... then the final nail in the coffin was when he said not to leave the plug off the HP resevoir because the HPOP can make 3000 psi... well, yes the HPOP can make 3000 psi+... but all that's in the resevoir is base engine oil pressure, which is in the area of 40 to 70 psi... yes, it too will make a mess, but the statement just leads me more to the belief that it's just somebody that's trying to sell/upsell another "unnecessary" service to people that are looking for the miracle cure. The key is proper maintenance to (hopefully) prevent issues from arising. Don't expect that you can 100% prevent fuel injector failure. Change your oil regularily and all should work well. We service 7.3s with well over half a milllon K on them, and they still have functioning injectors. Yes, some have been replaced, but not all... And have never heard of or even dreamt of such a scheme. Just my 2 (or 20) cents. I was certainly hoping to ruffle a few more feathers than I actually did, but I feel kind of "shunned" there because I may actually know something about diesel engines...

DwayneGorniak Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 I'm not sure if this will be an issue with Keith or not being that we are worried about viruses coming from YouTube. But I think a link won't affect Keith's site as it will open a new tab for whoever clicks on it anyway. This is the link to the video that Keith had originally posted: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Warman Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 I made it 2 minutes into this one.... We will be judged by this person (notice I didn't say "man") Every time I've had a 6.0 lock, it has been because coolant has been leaking out of a right side exhaust manifild.... and nothing to do with a head gasket. Sadly, if we use this boys ideas, we might be "right" often enough to look good... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Browning Posted December 5, 2008 Author Share Posted December 5, 2008 I'm not sure if this will be an issue with Keith or not being that we are worried about viruses coming from YouTube. But I think a link won't affect Keith's site as it will open a new tab for whoever clicks on it anyway. It wont affect the site at all. It will affect YOUR computers if you open up one of the infected videos. The video I embedded in my post was indeed infected and having it embedded means that you guys would innocently get hit. How do I know that the video was infected? Every time I opened that post my anti-virus real time scanner picked it up and deleted it then splashed a big warning on my screen. This is a new virus which is a Trojan. I suspect it is an new version of the one my wife innocently allowed to open. I could not get it out of our kitchen PC and had to completely wipe the hard drive clean and reload everything. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/banghead.gif Surf with care and USE ANTI-VIRUS AND ANTI-SPY-WARE. Do NOT click on any pop up that says your computer is infected, offers free anti-virus software or security check. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PLESE PLEASE watch the 6.4 video and pay attention to how he describes the turbo and how it works when he grabs the VGT actuator.

I think we should just have a youtube video of us sitting watching his clips and just laughing our asses off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
