I believe both should be 145 amp units and I DR44G is the newer part number.
Ordered!
@RainmanRaysRepairs - Inquiring minds would like to know whether you are going to replace those Torx bolts on the fuel return lines? I know I would since you likely are not going to be able to torque them to spec now.
This video reminds me of the time I refilled my own washer fluid and put cap back on all by myself 😎
Excellent!!!
🤣 nice
That's a beginning ! 😅
C'est un début ! 😊
Sweat must have been dripping down your forehead.
But did you get the lettering in the right direction?
I am glad to see you doing an LB7. I own one. My injectors were replaced at around 60k miles under warranty. My truck has 114k on it now. I think GM had a recall on the original injectors. The original injectors had a problem for sure. To anyone who owns a diesel, keep your fuel filter changed and only put diesel in your truck from a high volume supply. I lost my diesel mechanic for health reasons. I have been looking for someone I can trust to perform work on my truck. I live in Atlanta it would be a long drive to your shop that is really too bad. I do not let just anyone work on my truck. I would let you work on my truck. I think that is the greatest compliment I can give you. I love all your videos and have watched all of them. Keep up the great work.
Watching this video and 30 minutes in still havent got to the injectors, what a hassle thanks GM and Isuzu!
It’s no wonder why ppl hate these engines. This is the most epically crappily designed engine I’ve ever seen!!
@Ray - Your skills at dis-assembly and re-assembly are amazing to me. You really should be crowned "King of the Reach-Around" for your ability to get to "those damned bolts way in the back, out of sight!" lol
Hello Ray. From SW England
35:39 no no no no
And you know better.
Gold wedding ring on. Danger will Robson!
What amazes me is how you remember how it all goes back😊😊
Break it up in system components and it’s not that bad. Mostly just got to do it a few times and it’s not that bad. Everything goes back easily just a lot of work. Everything really falls into place it can really be easy. Ray is not afraid of work and he is knowledgeable of systems components.
Yeah it seems overwhelming but I just litterly did the cp3 and fuel regulator x2 on my 03 lb7 and it seemed so daunting but like you said if you break it up , there's not much to it , still some work but if you lay things out and have it organized and take pictures it's easy
If he forgets he can watch the video.
I began doing what he does. I used to worry about it and still couldn't remember where bolts and nuts went.
Lately I've done a number of in depth jobs that might take me a week or so to start putting things back together.
I've only got a small leftover parts bin.😊
My grandson, just graduated from aircraft mechanic school and it drives him crazy that I don't make little stick it notes or labels and set each thing aside.
That's a good work habit if he's fixing a plane, but I'll chance it on my own car.
When you do something over and over it becomes second nature to you!
Cute story about the crush washer. I was an Avionics tech in the RNZAF (Airforce), my repair was to re-fit a connector on the belly blade type antenna, that had been wiped off by a heavy landing (student pilot or Flying Officer if you like). The connector was also wiped off by the grass heavy landing short of the runway. No problem, simple fix, says the SGT, just take off the inspection panel under the seat reach in and extend the coax cable fit a new connector, and once the airframe guys have fixed the ripped metal fit a new antenna. Now this job is my first on this type of plane. So I follow the instructions, remove the inspection panel and reach in and come out with a handful of mud and grass, so OK I vacuum all that out, again reach in for the cable, got it. Pull it into view, but Its too short. Tell SGT, he tells officer in charge of maintenance, next thing I've got Base C.O and all the 'interested' officers looking over my shoulder, You sure you can't fit it? All eyes on me, "Well I say if I could get better access, I could un-loom it from there and move the coax out a bit and then it should fit" I heard myself say. "GOOD", says the C.O. and a nod from the Chief Flying training Officer. Now I have to say my rank, I was a brand new shiny Aircraftman, in short the lowest of the low with the sole exception of recruit. BUT, because I opened my big mouth, I now had to actually fix the problem, correctly, in military fashion, and following all the correct CAA (FAA equivalent) rules and regulations.
Luckily, I had just completed training on how to calculate the number and spacing of rivets and or rivinuts around a patch in the aluminium. So under the pilot's seat I cut a 12 inch square hole for access, drilled and fitted the rivinuts, made a new panel to fill the hole. All good, but this is the military, you can't just cut holes in the internal part of the wing box section, you have to do it on paper first, using the manufacturers diagrams, as a plan and make a "MOD" or Modification plan. So after a month or so of sketch, get approval, send to drawing dept, add many pages of 'how to', and then re-write so a shaved monkey can understand it, adding ten more pages and pictures (sketch, get approval, send to drawing dept) finally I was given the approval to cut the hole.
So I cut the hole, mark the places for the rivinuts. Shine my torch into the hole, and run away screaming, laughing and sit in the corner holding my head. This particular airplane was built with pop rivets, visible in the hole I cut, was many kilos (pounds) of pop rivet heads, all floating around inside the wing box section under the pilots' seat, just where the aileron control cables pass and the coax I was looking for. Much longer story short, I had to make three more Modifications two of which grounded the Aircraft type until completed. If anyone cares I'll tell you the type of plane and even now my mods are required for all of the type. After my mods the aircraft are lighter and a little safer. Also there is access to cable for the antenna to be 'wiped' several times more LOL.
I'm quite interested in this I would be pleased to know
cool story @andrew
Wow quiet a story hope they could streamline this process during combat !!but I enjoy any Aviation story ,it has to be done properly unlike a car you can't pull over to check 😮😮

Man as soon as I seen you say airframe guys I had to write haha. I was an airframe in the US Navy! I actually helped train people to work on the super hornet! VFA106E/F. I helped transition all F-14 squadrons to the super hornet on the east coast! Man I miss it 😢
@@kymw7833 Combat expedient is to yank harder on the coax. 👍
OMG! What an intimidating, daunting, and overwhelming job. It's like brain surgery. I'd be stressed to the max and nervous about breaking things and then have to struggle to try to put it all back together, adjusted, calibrated, and torqued correctly. I have so much respect for the experience, skill, and confidence needed to calmly work through this huge project.
I'm more impressed that Ray can keep up a running informative dialog for over an hour. That is amazing.
I bet he has to play back his video to put it back together
I would, but Ray is young and does this for a living...@@transformer889
Try changing spark plugs on a Fiat/Pugot 😂
Has anyone else noticed what looks like a crack in the alternator bracket at 46.45 47.18?
YES!!!! Longer video. I look forward to these every day. I love working on cars and I enjoy the content. Thank you for taking the extra time to make videos. 👍🏻

Dude ain't done yet🤣
Like doing a 2000 piece jigsaw puzzle back side up.
@InsideOfMyOwnMind My friend, it's a wrap. The title mechanic doesn't apply to all auto servicemen. Engineers design mechanics puts it down.
Part 3 ? I’m getting a part 4 vibe!😳
Please lord don’t make him have to do it twice, if there’s a missing crush washer I may need therapy!!😂
Looks like loads of fun, I don't know if I want to do all of that, I think I will sell my diesel first.
I've got one of these except it's a GMC Sierra. The injectors were an issue in the past but that's been rectified. Mine has 518,000 miles on it and still going strong.
Sell it or park it in a "bad area".
One person’s junk is another person’s treasure.
I'll buy it, sir.
@@Michael-yi4mc Giggety?
Gonna start calling Ray the one hand bandit. It's truly amazing how he can do all this with just one hand : )
He can't he keeps dropping things, sooner or later he is going to regret it.
Every time I drop something I say gravity just like ray does. 😂😂
Thanks Ray for the work on this series of the Durty max you are doing. I am learning alot from it. Thanks for taking us along on this massive filming and editing journey. We all appreciate the effort.
What an insane design for removing injectors. how the hell it got passed the design stage is beyond me.
I think the Engineers are just pissing off the mechanics.
Had a Perkins 4-108 in my boat for 25 yrs, The injectors were on top and easy to remove. Never had to though. No electronics at all except for the alt.
Chevy THUNDER!
Who said it passed?
The ONLY criteria is ease of manufacture. Repair is not a consideration.
Someone said - don't know if they were correct, suspect they were - that as a rule they don't hire engineers that used to be a mechanic, they tend to design things to be easy to repair.
So yes, they do try to annoy mechanics.
I'm never complaining about the sounds of hard work in the background. The fortunate aspect of the granite guys is your mic picks up very little of it. I'm sure the stone saws bother you much more than it does the viewers.
When do we get to meet the granite masons? I was a hod laborer for a granite company many years ago -- learned a lot and it is heavy lifting
@@ab2230 Hope those guys are wearing the proper respirators. Nasty stuff causing, mesothelioma .

Well, isnt brainsurgey a lot easier than this???? Im just 21 min in ( and im lost) and I just don¨t get how Ray will remember how to put it all back again,,,,,,,Magic Ray!!! :D
Hey Ray that was far more entertaining than watching you jump start it and park it 👏🤣
Thanks for not editing out the issues when things go sideways. I learn a lot from your problem-solving strategies. Thanks Ray!
Im not a mechanic but i completely get the reference about doing something the 2nd time in lightning time like a superpower. Maybe because the fasteners are already loose or because you have all the tools out even that one socket for that one oddball bolt size either way ive been there it made me chuckle.
I worked in R&D for 40+ years and conducted an 18 month project with 2 technicians, and designed 167 line Gantt chart of tasks and way more stage/gates than I care to remember.
BUT, I would never attempted what you have done here. You sir, can use my line...."The difficult I do right away, the impossible takes me a little longer."
I don't wanna think how much this'll cost the guy.
Probably $12,000 American Dollars
@@ThomasWalker-m2y Well, would be thinking about buying another vehicle if my bill was $12,000. I am guessing the bill is less than $4,000
Depending upon his shop rate, at 12 hours anywhere from $1200 to $2000 just for labor. The injectors are $3-400 each. So maybe $3600-5000 is my guess.
(Owner) its not the repairs and the cost. Its paying to fire the parts cannon and lose. Its been 2 years since on the road with at least as much as i am going to pay this time. The expensive part was buying another truck... which has all the EPA garbage on it.
considering he cannot spring for a winow or window regulator.
As humans we operate on chronological time based on technology, magnetic time based on the earth’s field, circadian time based on the moon and sun phases and others.
Deja vu is our brains way of readjusting when these different time measuring systems get out of sync from each other too far.

(Yes I think about some funky stuff at times) 😁
After watching this video, you've convinced me to never own a diesel truck. Because i'm not a mechanic and I couldn't Afford the repairs. I guess gasoline to the end.
My question, Is how can you remember where everything goes. I would have to rewind the video to remember to hook everything up and probably even then still miss something LOL
I started working on vehicles in 1957. Taught at Nashville Auto Diiesel college for 5 years, then high school for 20 more. Nice to see someone do the job right. I love your videos.
Engineers should have to repair their own designs. Maybe then you'd find them making it easier to repair. Certain bolts getting replaced with other, proper bolts, things like that.
Wow, the amount of disassembly would have sent me to retirement. It is great that you have all the necessary tools to be able to remove bolts, crews, and nuts.
This is why he would never work on my truck. If he reuses those bolts, I'll puke, as I'm sure he won't torque them.
Nice job ray, it's always fun to learn things about cars and diagnose/repair the cars issues. Keep up the great work. 😊
Yeah twice.... happy New years Raymond and Lauren from Alabama a few days early but ya know...great content as always sir..and yeah almost 13 hrs labor the difference between gasoline vs Diesel....wayy more complex great video as always ray ...more boats Ray 😎😎
You should call the cops on those 'concrete' guys; they're all counter-fitters! Ahem, sorry.
We used to pressure test the injectors on the Deutz diesels at Atlas Copco. We had a device with gauges we could pump in fuel ..
That insanity definition is actually a quote from Albert Einstein!
Allen or hex fastener, I learned in Coast Guard aviation maintenance to call them internal wrenching fasteners.
Besides replacing the high pressure fuel lines, also replace all injector hold down bolts!! And suck out all fuel, from top of pistons
25:21 It is an Allen. Funny story, when I got to my second ship one of my first jobs was to unbolt a head on one of the cargo wenches. It was nut coming off. When I told my supervisor I was told I did not know how to use an Allen wrench? So I said then they need to show me, they ended up twisting a 3/4 inch wrench like a candy cane, I kept it.
That is insanity just to change some injectors :O i think on my car you could do it in 15min
Are there no Bosch service in the US? In Europe it's common to send the injector to a service center that fix them a lot cheaper than new ones.
It's definitely a job that you need to pack all 3 daily meals for... plus boatloads of COFFEE!!!!!
Can we get some X-Files cutscenes with the rugrats in part 3?
All my metric sockets and wrenches and not one 11mm among them. Not part of any of the sets, which have been around a while. Is 11mm a new discovery-conspiracy between nut and bolt makers with tool companies?
It drives me nuts that all the socket and wrench sets seem to not have consecutive sizes wrenches and sockets.
I always have to go and buy the ones not included and then their carrying case has no room for the extra ones.
What is the reasoning behind this? It's not like the missing size is never used.
Can someone tell me again why I would need a big diesel engine in a pickup?
I’ve done repair projects, mostly on motorcycles. There’s nothing worse than having a part left over. You won’t sleep until you figure it out.
If you do it for twenty years and more, you just don't give a f*ck. You just file it under "weight reduction".
Edit:
If a big a$$ high strength fine thread bolt is left over, it is a different story, of course!
Hello Ray. Rocket Surgery level 99.6. This is a tough one indeed.
It’s an 11mm because they knew we already lost our 10mm
😂😂
I've reused steel fuel lines to injectors many times and never had any leakage problems
Bungie the hose Ray. Get into a groove of using bungies to help hold back hoses n wires. Much faster and better all around for you...
The totality of a job like this can overwhelm one when contemplating it. As you have said multiple times, "it's like pealing layers of the onion back" and it truly is. As I watched your progress, the difficulty became just that. It is a long and difficult job, one that comes with the territory of technician's knowledge and abilities. I learned a lot watching this first video. Truly not just as simple as "remove and replace injectors" is it? 😊
The ending of that video was so sweet. Lauren's closing got me a laugh. Lauren, you're so precious!
Delco Remy DR44G is the 145 amp alternator. Standard alternator is 105 amp.
Why am I stressed watching this?
Because it is a pretty long job. Maybe too many electrical connectors.
I'm so glad you are doing the lb7 because I am about to embark on the same procedure with mine and I,m not a certified mechanic!! Thank you for all the direction!!
I believe by the time you get this done. This guy would have been better off buying another truck. This has got to be MUCHO expencive!
Given the price of trucks these days, this is a bargain. Besides, the owner knows this truck. With Ray working on it, it is well maintained. No, this job with Ray doing it on a good vehicle is well worth it.
Let's say this shop charges super high labor rate $200 an hour...Even at that, 13 hours would cost ya to about 2600 labor before parts. Even if this guy spends $5k to $6k to repair this truck, I'd say it's a win because to buy a truck for that price, and give this one up, your not going to get a very nice replacement apples to apples. He could also put $5k to $6k down on a new replacement which would be an astronomical difference in cost compared to this repair. Most new diesels now days are $70k more where I live. Id say fix it and keep it every time as long as the rest of the vehicle is in decent shape.
New trucks are $65k USD and up well over $100k, maybe $120k for well-appointed 3500/Super Duty spec trucks. Even dumping $10k-15k into this truck is worth it. Relatively rust free, body is in decent shape, not hotrodded, it's probably worth $30-35k once back together and the window fixed.
This dude is quicker and better with one hand than most of us are with 2 hands!
Just replaced the diesel fuel injector pump on my Nissan Navara 4WD $3400 and crank angle sensor $350 AU ,but doesnt it go so much better now, yep sure does indeed. Replaced the head about 2 years ago, belt and radiator , harmonic balancer, think that motor will now last the length of the beast. Was it worth it? I think so considering with the used car prices now it would have cost me 20K or more to buy second hand someone elses problems.
Concrete grinder is the new du-di-du...
Those may have been Torx-Plus, lot of people make that mistake with 4l60 transmissions too.
Edit: Just checked, and they're cheese grade hex, believe you can replace them with a normal hex head banjo bolt though.
Hex or Allen bolt the answer is yes! Dayum still using flat blade on hex hose clamps! Flat blade screwdrivers are only good for opening paint cans! Great video! Curious to what a set of injectors cost!
Awesome video Ray, as always. Would love to see you and A-Rod collaborate on these diesels in the future. I hope he takes you up on your offer to use your shop, while hes in limbo or makes a permanent move to your area in our great state of FL. Keep up the amazing content. By the way, I was also getting scarred for you getting those fasteners out. Hope you don’t have to reuse them.
I was a engineman in the coast guard back in the 60s . Enjoying your video on the diesel, the engines I work on where alot larger, but just as fun,Haha
People wonder why i love the 6.0 powerstroke. The braid of coolant, wires, fuel lines and components just stacked on one another and the number of times ray had to change sockets or tools just to get the valvecovers off explains it all.
6.0 might have known repeat failures but its known and very easy to work on.
(3:47) - Look how close the battery terminal is to the refrigeration line valve thingy! Woe be unto the technician who recovers the refrigerant from the electron storage unit! 😬
knowing that you like efficiency, the ac compressor could have just been removed from its mounting and laid upside down on the passenger side battery on a fender mat for padding. And, unless you are going after the cp-3 pump, the alternator didn't have to be removed.....but that is just what I have done many times. if you ARE going after the cp-3 as well, then crack on.
I'm just amazed of the work that needs to be done to get to the fuel injectors. Outstanding work. Can't wait to see part 3.
Do you ever use the old fashioned Speed Brace when the battery powered device won't fit?
Commenting for the algorithm!
Time to start the day with a cup-o-joe and a vid from Ray!
Japanesium, good job at handling the snags Ray.
But “It goes to 11”! 🤣✌️👍
The Duramax has a long history. We recommend avoiding any GM vehicle equipped with the 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, and 2010 Duramax engines. In short, the newer model years show improved performance...WELL??😮
whyyy!?! why must they make diesels and newer vehicles so damn complicated and compact? even older cars too. i just did a 96 buick regal 3800 series 2 oil pan gasket, not so much fun. had to drop the frame a bit, undo the exhaust and lift the engine, take off a/c bracket to take off engine mount bracket.....all for a oil pan gasket. patience is a must.
oh well...when you enjoy doing something....you enjoy it for the challenges.
RAY!!! after years of doing the under-vehicle-tool-squat, you STILL dont put a big towel under your work space to stop things from going to the floor?
C'MOOOOON!!!!
I did this very same job on my 2003 GMC Sierra 2500 back in 2009. It was just as intimidating to tackle, and it took me 5 days to complete, working after my day job. It is nice to see Ray doing it the way it is supposed to be done. Thanks Ray!
One of the great things about Ray's videos is watching them is like having a spirited and lively conversation without having to say anything...!
Keep at it Ray.... ... .. !
😁👍
I had a LBZ Engine and Transmission along with complete harness and steering wheel. Came out of wreck Chevy with 45,000 miles. Got stolen out of my warehouse before I could DuraMax my 97 Z71
Got tired of allways doing injectors on my LB7, just bought brand new Bosch ones from Duramax store, they are pricey but haven't had to do another injector since. I have new injector bodies with 45% over nozzles and dual S and S super sport CP3's, wagler stage 2 cam, with a billet 64mm, studs, head gaskets, wagler high pressure oil pump, fluid damper harmonic balancer $12k in the stock motor and another $7500 in trans with all updates and billet Torque convertor, all silicone lines, welded water pump, love this truck, just needs a 6spd conversion and believe it.....she gets down even being a 2wd, she will surprise any sports car from a 30mph roll, hard to get traction from a dig.....still weighs 9K
Here is a comment, for the algorithm.
DR44 and DR44G are the same 2 pin alternators that need a PWM signal. Depending on the signal it can output from nothing to about 16 V. Without the signal it default to something around 13.6 V. The DR44G is just the newer model name/version, otherwise they are interchangeable, although I heard there are 145 A and 160 A versions out there, but that is not what makes the difference in names.
I was sweating bullets myself watching you pull those secondary valve cover bolts... Cringe-worthy...
Good job Ray...
You should start sprinkling in some Game of Thrones references. For example when you break a bolt loose you could cut in with Ramsay Bolton saying "LOOSE!" 😂
This is excruciatingly painful to watch, so many clips and harnesses and clamps and components to dig down into, Ray you’re a better man then I to not be cussing and pulling your hair out!😳😂
Not that I repair cars so much, except our own, but that magnet tray thing is something I use all the time.. I mostly do electronics work and for the tiny components, the trays are a must.
I agreed with your diagnosis until you landed on the injectors.
Wouldn’t it also hold true that a complete failure of ALL 8 injectors is unlikely.
And if most of the injectors (all but 2 or 3) had gone bad the engine would at least show some sighs of starting?
I had an old 4.cylinder ford tractor that my co-workers were constantly running out of fuel. Grrrr! On that tractor you had to crack open the fuel line at the injector till fuel came out then when tightened the injector would again. She would buck and smoke with one injector bled and after 2 cylinders were firing we could get enough engine speed to clear the other injectors
But with that LBZ you were getting nothing, nada, zero , after many attempts at firing.
Now in today’s video, we see bubbles….
Those bubbles you spotted would worry me too. WHY?
Here’s my armchair diagnosis: 2 problems, a weak pressure pump and maybe a small air leak.
A weak pressure pump that can’t provide enough pressure at starting rpm but functions fine once the engine speed picks up.
The only thing that I can come up with is there must be air in the fuel that is entering between the fuel tank and the pressure pump.
Throw an air line on the intake of the lift pump and look for leaks?😢 0:15
How much stuff can be stuffed in a spot that is just big enough, oy vey...amazing vehicles are actually as cheap as they are, filled with STUFF, connectors, and connectors, fittings,wires, more fittings
WOW!! Now that is a lot of stuff to move just to get to the injectors!! I need to change my battery in my Escape, really don't want to tackle it!! Vehicle manufactures are making things so you can't work on them!! Stay safe & Happy New Years!!
It doesn't surprise me that also in the US of A GM is using Isuzu diesel engines. In Europe, the GM brand Opel also used Isuzu diesel engines, small ones though. They weren't that great: smoking, noisy, no power and later on big bangs at once and a lot of costs, before bringing them to the junkyard....
LB7, Duramax's first gen fuster cluck. This is why I stuck with cummins. Stripped heads on fuel line bolts, This is why you hire a competent diesel specialist to do work on a diesel and not an we do everything shop.
Had similar recently on my valve cover replacement it’s a plastic valve and part was broken. Got it off to replace there was a piece of plastic just small enough to block the oil passage to sump. Long screwdriver poked it through it’s now either in the sump or filter no issues with engine running 😅 1.6tdi CAYC
Ray, goona skip this one. Don't much care about complex overpriced diesel engines. My 1997 Ford 7.3 runs great and keeping it forever.
Remember where all those connectors and hoses go? Hell, sometimes I can't remember why I went into the kitchen.
Hell I remember Army mechanics trying to service Hmmwv's and extracting glow plugs and them breaking and they punched them back into the engine then put new glow plugs in, started the engine running the glow plug through the cylinders and out the exhaust! clankity clank! 25th ID!
Ray has the video to go back to if he needs to. For a DIY I would take a ton of pictures just incase. I would never buy a diesel vehicle unless I needed one for the work I would need one for the job I had. People buy diesel just cause it's the in thing. I have 3 Kubota's tractors that have the 23 horsepower mower,front end loader and backhoe and a 1100 RTV. Those are simple to work on which I have not had to work on yet. If I did have to work on them am sure the parts would cost a small fortune. For a daily driver I would never buy a diesel. If you stay under 26 HP on Kubota and other brands I would think the same law would apply to stuff there is no emission crap on diesel engine up to 26 HP. At last time I look at them 2 years ago there was no emission crap or computers on the Kubota's at least on 26HP or less.
@1:00:00... I don't understand why manufacturers insist on using low torque type fasteners (torx or allen head) in high torque applications. High torque fasteners should always be hex head.
If you don't want to call refrigerant "FREON" then you should probably not want to call hex keys "Allen wrenches" since Allen is a brand name.
Sorry 😮 Isuzu 🤔Are you telling me that the Chevy has a Japanese motor, made by the biggest diesel engine manufacturer ? 😏 🙂
That is a really involved job🤔😕
Still don't know if you checked for power at lift pump. If you don't show it, it didn't happen.😅 It amazes me the amount of work to do a job that is probably routine. Shit breaks. Proves that engineers don't think about service enough or at all.
Thank you! I didn't know such a tool exists as the bolt extractor socket, I will be buying a set, probably both metric and SAE, personal use. I like how you video and explain in detail.
Great video I can see why you change them all when in there. I have a2003 Ford F250 with the 6.0 had one injector bad on drivers side I replaced them all on thet side. Much easier than on your truck. Cummins is probably the easiest.
Actually I am amazed that somebody would spend so much money on this truck, the cost of doing this job Has to be more than this truck is worth. Ray i’m curious if you might be discounting this job just to make a good TH-cam video, which by the way it is, I’m very much enjoying it.
