DieselTechRon's LAST VIDEO
Details of the accident:
On Tuesday, May 10th, 2016, my Dad left for work from our house in Hemet to begin his 150 mile round trip daily commute to Indio. Early as ever, he finished replying to one last email question before work, kissed my mom goodbye, and got into his 2013 Volkswagen Beetle (a diesel, of course, my dad being a total diesel guru).
Now, I've been on countless drives with my Dad, as you can imagine. My entire family has. After a lot of discussion, we all agreed he always put his seatbelt on during every drive we could remember-- just not always right away. Sometimes he needed a gentle reminder from my Mom, and other times something would just click in his mind, shortly followed by the click of his belt. In all newer cars, such as his Beetle, which would give off a few chirps every 3-4 minutes when the driver isn't buckled in, this delayed-belting tendency of his improved drastically. He would -always- have his buckle on by the third, and in rare cases the fourth chirp, no prompting from mom needed. His hard hearing from decades of using air and power tools meant he could miss the first couple sets of chirps, as well as his need to tune into the correct talk radio station and make sure his daily Diet Pepsi was situated properly in its cup holder.
My Dad was less than 7 minutes away from our house when he approached the same two-lane bend in Ramona Expressway as a 20-year-old Hemet kid and his little brother travelling the opposite direction. According to the kid's testimony, he briefly fell asleep at the wheel, tired from a long night helping his family move. He drifted over into my Dad's lane.
The Saturn sedan hit Dad's VW at the most unforgivingly catastrophic angle possible. My Dad instantly lost his rear driver side wheel, causing his Beetle to overturn and roll multiple times.
Less than seven minutes from home. One, maybe two chirps max. Just barely shy of the three he needed to ensure his seat belt was fastened.
Ronald Wayne Huxell, the most important man in my life, my role model, a man who touched the lives of so many, more than I ever knew, was ejected through the sunroof of his Volkswagen.
Witnesses to the accident, who waited with my Dad for emergency response, told us he was immediately knocked unconscious. He had a laceration to the back of the head, as well as a broken wrist and hip. However, what prevented the doctors from saving him was severe internal bleeding, brought about by his body being quickly and violently forced through the sunroof. The witnesses told us his face, however, was unscathed and handsome as ever.
The Hospital pronounced him dead at 7:30am.
The 20-year-old and his brother suffered minor injuries, which didn't require medical attention. Their Saturn, when seen next to my Dad's Beetle, escaped so intact I couldn't help but deem it shockingly unfair.

    this sounds crazy, I know, but I have to say it. Ron was so awesome. When talking about where to place the heater hoses , he says, “I just put the over here where I just removed the manifold absolute pressure sensor.” Everybody else, if they even knew what it was, would say, “MAP sensor.” Ron was so awesome.

    Your Dad was a great technician, and a very generous man with his knowledge/time. He helped many professional technicians, and truck owners learn the proper ways to fix vehicles. I say a prayer for him, and your family every time I watch a video of his. He will always be remembered my me, and so many others. Thank you for sharing with us. And, thank you for keeping this channel going, it will always be helping to teach many more people. My deepest condolences to your family.

I know he’s been gone for quite a while now but his videos still help me to this day. Great resource for 6.0. Also, Just wanted to say my older sister passed away unexpectedly at 54 in April 2024 and she also lived in Hemet, CA. My mom is completely devastated as her mom and husband have only been gone less than 4 years. I’m her only child left and I live 1300 miles away.

    hey Ron i have an 03 6.0 powerstroke that i have had a no start with and ive ran into a dead end so i wanted to know what you thought . i did an oil change and broke the return tube inside the oil filter housing so i replaced it and added some diesel Kleen to the tank and at first it ran just fine but when you would shut it off it wouldnt start back up then less then a week of that i drove 60 mph across town just fine until i went to speed up to 70 and it quickly lost power and died going down the road and hasnt started since. i replaced the injection presure sensor and conector because a local machanic told me thats what was wrong with it and wanted to charge me almose 2000 to change it so i did it myself but the only thing it did was make my fuel gauge work again. i know i have fuel geting to the fuel filter ontop and oil is filling the filter housing but the gauge reads no presure no matter how long uou start it and it just keeps kranking it never turns over or even acts like its trying. the FICM voltage is 45 while everything is runing but as soon as the pump and everything else shuts off the voltage jumps up to 48

    if you did the efuel pump mod and the fuel bowl delete mod install an inline pre filter screen and remove the in tank screen, a large capacity inline screen prefilter screwed to the pump makes life easier and makes the flow better with far less restrictions harpooning a gas tank might be dangerous because it needs room to vapor expand, should be fine on diesel since the fuel works a bit differently and has a different vapor point
