Companies that abuse their customers are eventually gonna' find a motivated, determined. pissed off individual like this dude. If this video ended up in some case against Suby, it could turn the tables in the customer's favor REAL quick.
It sad that people have to do this stuff to get what is owed to them. What is even more pathetic is Suby likely stiffed him.

Extreme heat will add major metal fatigue to any part over time.

^^^Did you build those pickups?. Hearing of these breaking makes me nervous, glad I have an oil pressure gauge with alarm. You would think that they would be beefy from the factory being a suby is likely to see a lot of vibrations from dirt roads and such.

They look nice and beefy. Way they should have come from the factory.

Tell me about it. I've been watching this issue for months and low and behold it just happened to me. Atleast the dealer covered it in full with a new short block.

Metal fatigue? Bad weld from factory? Metal defect (contaminated or defected materials)?
I am sure an experience welder would know.
