Hope the Rivian job goes well! EVs of one kind or another are probably the future so worth getting into. I’ve worked mainly on fork lift trucks (In the UK) since 1985 and electric has grown and grown. (Both battery and hybrid) It’s been amazing to see the advances in tech and it was good for me to start at a basic level and see it progress. Retired now but I had a good living by stepping up. There’s a lot to learn, but good luck with it! 👍🏻💪🏻
Kyle, nice hearing from you!! I'm definitely looking forward to the possible 06 build with the HellCat super charger as I have an 06 Daytona Charger R/T, that would be a project I would to throw at my 5.7, plus it has only 58k on the car!!! Take care and enjoy the summer!!
I don't care what anyone says, the Magnum will always be one of my favorite cars. I ended up getting a Ram 1500 back in the day. Sometimes I kick myself I should've gotten the Magnum I looked at, was this exact color with black wheels also
Rivian recalled all its 2022 vehicles sold between December & September, 12,212, so you should be busy for now. Eventually though I think that company is going under because EV's are not a viable option.
They did issue one, however they did something that no other brands do…. They sent out all their techs to inspect and/or fix every vehicle mobile at the customers leisure. And now, two weeks later every vehicle under the recall has been fixed.
I got to agree with the electric vehicle going under. Have you ever dealt with the charging stations. Utter mess. And charging time is FOREVER. We need to stop this nonsense and stay the course with gas powered vehicles. I had one ev and i was so grateful to trade it in for a gas powered car.
@@repairvehicle oh, thats cool. I think it'll be a long time before we have infrastructure to support a large population driving electric vehicles, as well as a new material for the battery itself since lithium is gonna become scarce.
@@Crazy_clown6969 it was pretty good. I was the student program lead, then Covid happened and students weren’t in schools, and pretty much tanked the program for the year. Rather than going into more of a sales role I left
Your 100% correct. It's the most unreliable option that would take decades of infrastructure building & massive amounts of earth moved to make the battery & the industry would be in a mechanic & battery shortage constantly. Its also not going to change the weather so the flooded cars on the coastline will be useless & dangerous & the ev's up north will constantly break do & there will be many people dying in there vehicles because an accident caused the battery to catch fire & the fire departments aren't equipped to put ev's out fast enough & that's if they get there in time while & a trapped or unconscious car driver is still alive. There is no viable option to the combustion engine unless you live in a city were there's a lot of electricity sources but even the the stress that will be put on those power delivery sources will cause major issues. Its amazing that anyone would think delivering energy to a car is better than a car creating its own energy. Cars are independent of the electrical grid & when your power goes out & you don't have a home generator most people get in the car to stay warm or cool or they drive somewhere to do something in hopes the power will be back on when they return. Also imagine going on a road trip, people would spend most of there time waiting in line for a charge. Charging takes 15+ minutes for the person at the charger. There's no way these stations could handle the volume of amount of charges needed.
Congratulations on the new Job, should be interesting. New toys are great but a guys gotta have an old truck around to get stuff done.👍
Congratulations on the Rivian move! Quite a move. I think it’s a smart opportunity.

Good luck on new job. Alot of nice additions
Hello Kyle. Good luck with your new job at Rivian. Can't wait to see the videos on The Hemi Dodge Magnum.
Thanks!

Dude that’s so awesome I must admit I am pretty excited to see some tech driven EV content 🍻
What happened to JRC?
No clue, haven’t spoke to him in almost a year and a half now
Do they give you a company vehicle?
Great content

We need an update on this new job!
Hopefully I’ll find some time this next weekend. Have been doing lots of home projects and traveling lately which has made it impossible to do videos.
Miss my Maggie! Hope she treats you as good as she treated me
i have most any part you could need for a 2nd gen dodge except dash let me know what you need even have a green one
Email me or message me on IG plz. Where are you located?….. nobody has a good second gen dash 😂
Does a Rivian tech drive a Rivian to service Rivians?
Of course not
I bet he drives a diesel service truck. With a diesel generator to charge electric cars that ran out of electricity 😆
@@jeremyw6246 , they tow them to near charging station, more money is made this way and helps businesses stay in business.
The service vans are mostly ford transits, some locations depending on infrastructure are rolling out electric R1T trucks or even their new EDV vans.
@@repairvehicle oh, thats cool. I think it'll be a long time before we have infrastructure to support a large population driving electric vehicles, as well as a new material for the battery itself since lithium is gonna become scarce.
Why did he quite making videos?
How you get all these sweet gigs
When'd you go back to the dealership? What happened?
Just wondering did you not work for SP Tools because that’s the last time I’ve seen anything
Yes I did, for about 10 months then went back to the dealership
Then just left again after about one year, now am working for Rivian
What is the job for SP Tools not what you thought it was he seemed pretty excited about it
Or did SP Tools make it sound better than it was
@@Crazy_clown6969 it was pretty good. I was the student program lead, then Covid happened and students weren’t in schools, and pretty much tanked the program for the year. Rather than going into more of a sales role I left
I just left dealer world going independent now
I like that street glide
