Balance Shaft Delete + 1000 Mile Drive - Will The Engine Survive?

In this video, we put our money (and truck) where our mouth is.
We bought a V10 F250 Super Duty, removed the balance shaft, and drove it 1000 miles back home all with the intent to finally put an end to the myth "Will my V10 engine blow up without a balance shaft?".
We also did additional testing, including sending oil samples to a lab for analysis, visual tests, and measured vibrations using accelerometers and a Arduino.
Enjoy!
