Judging solely by the new channel, he was out of commission for a bit with a surgury, and also moved into a new shop?
Wonder why the new channel?

IIRC, his son took over the original channel, and monetized it via subscrition-only. I mean, good for them; Amerian Dream... yada yada.
At least there's a new channel for free with a ton of knowledge. Plus, I imagine that the guy is getting close to retirement, and just wants to work at his own pace.

He and Trent had some sort of falling out. There were never any specifics given but that's the gist.

He knows his stuff!! I've learned a TON from watching his vids. I still wouldn't trust myself to rebuild a trans in my garage but I've now got a good grasp on how they work and what the components are called all from watching his videos.
I learned of the "falling out" because Trent had posted a vid on the original channel at one point but I think that vid is now been taken down. Didn't give details on what happened at all. Just that things were changing and going separate ways. Just from a father-son standpoint, I hope they patch things up soon.
Orange County Choppers all over again.......
That SUCKS. Screw Trent!!!
That is what happens when the KID gets a big head and think's they know better than what the father or mother has set up over the years. Some times the kid is all about the dollar signs and not the reputation that keeps it all going. My reputation is starting to pay off here. I don't advertise on CL or FB. I just do the work, the word gets out and word of mouth takes over, thru the neighborhood, the landlord, the VFW and the American Legion. Not because I have a "TRENT" around here.
The same is true for carpenters, landscapers, plumbers, lawyers, dentists, and pretty much any occupation I can think of. When you're genuinely competent and provide a great service that people need, customers will find you by word of mouth.

I used Valvoline Maxlife Multivehicle as it was what was on hand locally. It's listed as conforming to Dex VI specs.
This is the part where someone tells me I suicided my transmission.

I use it in the Acadia and the 33 street rod with the 700r4 and I'll probably use it next time I do the Yukon.
About a year ago it cost about $18/gallon jug at Walmart. Now it's $25. Still a good price.

This is good to hear! I happened across an engine oil thread not that long ago and it convinced me to start using the ac delco branded stuff since I haven't tuned out AFM yet. I was hoping it wouldn't be the same with my choice of trans fluid, lol.

I was thinking Maxlife as it's quite a bit cheaper than VI.
