    Loved the podcast…until you highlighted an OnlyFans “diesel influencer.” Thanks, but no thanks.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

This Muffler Lets Your Diesel Be Loud OR Quiet
Q: What are the main manufacturing and scale challenges you've faced?
Challenges include rising stainless steel costs, labor expenses, securing shop space, implementing W-2 payroll, and maintaining speed while improving quality; the team shifted from garage to shop, adopting lean manufacturing practices to keep costs in check as production scale increases.
This Muffler Lets Your Diesel Be Loud OR Quiet
Q: How do you control the muffler's position and sound from inside the cab?
Control is via a momentary switch, offering two seconds to move from straight pipe to the quietest setting, with middle settings by nudging the switch between steps, allowing repeatable, customizable sound profiles for each drive.
This Muffler Lets Your Diesel Be Loud OR Quiet
Q: Who would you say is your target customer?
The target customers are dual-purpose truck owners who use their vehicles both for work and hobby, including blue-collar fleets, electric-company trucks, and families who tow or road trip, with a premium segment willing to pay for the adjustability, quality, and the ability to switch sound in-cab.
Biggest Problem with 68RFE’s in 2026
Q: What are the main challenges you face when expanding to newer platforms like 8AT/10AT and moving into converters or torque converters production?
The main challenges are platform diversity, demand forecasting, and space to scale; we're planning in-house torque converters and expanding to 8/10-speed platforms, but it requires substantial space and process development to keep quality consistent.
Biggest Problem with 68RFE’s in 2026
Q: How did you get into building transmissions, and what drew you to this line of work?
I grew up hot-rodding and tinkering, first with RC cars and later with trucks; a series of learning milestones—from a garage setup to working with Tim Barber and breathing life into valve bodies—led me to pursue transmission remanufacturing as a real business and craftsmanship.
