Hearted Youtube comments on Rainman Ray's Repairs (@RainmanRaysRepairs) channel.

  1. My Buick's milkshake brings all the mechanics to the yard.
    10000
  2. One of the hardest things to do as a mechanic is to tell a young couple with kids and no money they just bought a POS that isn't worth fixing. Really breaks your heart.
    5600
  3. I think it’s time to open your own shop !
    5200
  4. They put the blinker fluid in the wrong place. Happens all the time.
    3800
  5. Everyone should drive a real POS every now and then, just to appreciate what they have.

  6. Just retired after 47 years as an auto tech. 13 years in, I opened my own small shop. We grew to 1.5m per year gross within 3 years. Paid top dollar, got the 2 best guys in the county to work with me. Voted best shop in the county for many years. Treated everyone fair, never oversold our customers, fixed any recheck whether it was our fault or not,and acquired a stellar reputation in our community. All 3 of us retired very comfortably. Had a great run, and a good life. You go mr Rainman!

  7. The real issue is that the part should NOT be failing on a 4 year old $60k truck!

  8. I’m super proud of you, Ray. One piece of advice though, bring in a “shop manager” ASAP. You need someone to answer the phones and schedule and be an intermediary. It’s an absolutely necessary position and with your notoriety being what it is, it’s even more so.

  9. One thing most stealerships lack is empathy. Having dealt with you and Lauren, It is one of ya'lls most glowing traits. **You listened to me. You gleaned what you needed to move forward and you diagnosed my car's issue. You then repaired the problem after considering the approach which included a limited repair fund on my end. My car got fixed...I witnessed the repair via a YouTube video and I didn't have to hock my dog to do it. Thank you Ray...thank you Lauren. 💖
    2000
  10. Viewer from the other side of the planet here. Don't ever pay attention to the stupid angry haters. You do this for a living and and you show your work in real time. You're not editing out your mistakes that would be easy in the clear light og hindsight. I'm a *mechanic*, but would be of little value to your shop as I'm too slow. I really like your videos and have never given a negative comment to a YouTube movie, just moved on to a better one! Keep yours coming!
    2000
  11. Good move. All those other issues could have been a network issue or worst case a wrongly connected battery or jump pack that wiped out some modules. It could have been a bottomless pit of time and parts.
    1900
  12. Customer of this repair here. Ray, I just wanted to publicly thank you for all of your hard work on giving this engine new life. I was seriously considering just scrapping it and cutting my losses but couldn't find a replacement for anywhere near the repair cost. Just know your work is greatly appreciated!
    1800
  13. Ray is the kind of guy who doesn't just feed the trolls, he takes them out for a nice romantic meal at a steakhouse, much champagne, much dessert. Then a nice moonlit walk along the beach before taking them back to his place for a coffee and a cosy chat. Then he never calls them again, ever. Trolling the trolls, GG.
    1600
  14. Thanks for NO music in this video. Much better.
    1500
  15. Should've used a tire crayon and written "done under protest " next to the patch inside the tire. The customer wouldn't ever see it and might make the next tech chuckle
    1400
  16. I know what's wrong - here's the random component that won't fix the issue because it's not the actual problem and is from an unknown source. But when it doesn't work it's your fault.
    1300
  17. Ray, I personally appreciate your critical thinking skills. No worries bud, your true fans won't desert you buddy!
    1300
  18. Rainman Ray’s got my vote for sherif
    1100
  19. Just know there are actual customers who appreciate how closely you look into the problems
    1100
  20. We talked about this tonight on the Wednesday tech talk No reason to prefill the filter Powerstroke Tech Talk With Arod - I'll Cover this on the manufacturers side as well in an upcoming video There is no reason to prefill....you can flood mode the Ford vehicles to pull oil in and prime that way as well I do not prefilled filters it's an old wives tale to do so You have plenty of oil in that engine that is coating the metal still and will not cause any issues starting it without prefilling
    1100
  21. Stuff we do every day. You fix cars. I sell parts. Together, we can get this van back on the road for this family in a way they can depend on it to safely tote around their wee ones. If it feels right, it is right.
    1000
  22. Another quality part satisfying mechanics everywhere
    1000
  23. 2022 summed up in a few eloquent words: “We are all living in our own reality and anyone who challenges that, we must fight them and destroy them” Quote of the year! Well said Mr. Rainman!!!!
    1000
  24. GM....we don't cut corners in quality, but we do cut tubes.
    970
  25. Thanks for installing a Monster Exhaust on your Duramax! But you definitely need an exhaust tip. Keep an eye open. We're dropping one in the mail.
    922
  26. "Now we have created life in a Ford." Funny. My parents said that about 28 years ago.
    884
  27. The power of social media. Can't wait to see how this pans out. Glad you and your family as well as everyone else involved weren't affected by this joy ride. It's a shame this is going on when a track is right there. I have to drive 100 miles to get to the closest track to me. It's not worth it on the streets... Take it to the track.
    877
  28. What shops don’t realize is that when you do something like this you gain the customers trust. The customer will come back for service in the future possibly for years. They will also recommend your shop to their friends and family. It’s a formula for success that has been forgotten in the industry.
    850
  29. I am soooo Thankful and relieved... I'm thanking Master Mechanic Rainman Ray!!! Our car would start only sporadically, after alot of trying, and we had a hellova time worrying about getting to Dr.s, or anywhere, and then having to get home. It's been an ongoing heavy worry, and I can't even tell you how it got our blood pressure up every time we had to go somewhere, especially if we have to go to the hospital (we have many health issues)! Ted's been watching Ray's repair videos for a few years now, and knew Ray is an excellent mechanic. Well, long story short, we called and got an appt. We were in their office talking with them for an hour, and knew in our hearts we could trust him. When Ted got online this morning, this video of our car repair was up!!! And OMG! All I can do is tell you, if you're in the Bradenton area, and you have engine issues, I HIGHLY recommend Ray! It's hard to find honest, great, repairmen nowadays, and I can vouch for Ray, big time 🙂 Thank You Ray!!!! ❤
    843
  30. Ohhhh Raymond haha 😂 this would be mint in NY!
    830
  31. Think hiring a good mechanic is expensive? Wait till you hire a cheap one.
    821
  32. Installing an engine for a clogged cat is like the nuclear version of the parts cannon.
    781
  33. Just three weeks from unemployed to his own shop with paying customers. Way to hustle, Ray!
    773
  34. “If the gasket is leaking, just remove the gasket” absolute genius
    764
  35. I don't know why YouTube recommended your channel to me. All I can say is, they are scary good at finding content I will literally binge watch.
    761
  36. The fact that you owned up to this mistake... posted it online for others to criticize (and learn from) is absolutely amazing. Much respect brother 🙏
    748
  37. A menace to society. That's righteous anger, Ray. Hope you find him!
    734
  38. Thanks for fixing my "Jeep" Ray. Much appreciated. I actually wanted to replace all the injectors, but was told the necessary quantity weren't going to be available for some time. The last place to have that taken apart was the dealership to replace the cylinder 4 injector, so it's disappointing (but not surprising) that they broke it. Anyway, when (not if) the next injector fails, I'll make sure the rest are replaced. Also, at the end of the video... you're not wrong.
    722
  39. To be fair, I spent longer crating that engine than you did taking it apart. 😂
    718
  40. Oh mannnn Ray. We've all been there before. I could feel the struggle throughout this process to ultimately end the way you work so hard to avoid. I had this happen on a 95 Millenia with the 2.5L KL, on a bolt next to the frame rail. I ended up welding threads to the broken off bolt and using it as a stud with a nut. It worked, but I wasn't proud. Glad I could come up with an engine to help you get this thing back on the road.
    715
  41. I wish I had a light for when I needed coffee. These cars have it all man.
    707
  42. Beautifully Spoken - you'll never know unless you try and you ain't getting any younger and definitely not any prettier so you better use that beauty while you got it
    695
  43. Dude, you put a heck of a lot of time and effort into these videos we watch for entertainment and knowledge. You post some great content, no need to apologize. Lots of folks have no idea how much work goes into just editing a video much less shooting one. Your a humble dude and I appreciate your work, humor and humble nature. Keep it up!
    690
  44. On today's episode of Just Rolled In, a Florida Man does mechanic things on his own.
    679
  45. Why did this person take this car to a shop. Clearly they are a professional and can do the work themselves....
    656
  46. For all of you viewers: Ray is trying to build a reputable and reliable business and sharing his journey with all of us. That being said, let him do his thing. Don't call the shop or send emails or go to the shop unless you have true intentions of having him service your vehicle. Respect this man's business, the best thing you can do to help him succeed is watch the videos, give them the thumbs up, buy merch, and subscribe. This is one of those situations where "fans" can make or break this venture, not only can you ruin his newly formed company the YouTube career could also be negatively affected as well. Disclaimer: I do not know Ray nor am I affiliated with his channel or anything else. I am just a guy that enjoys his videos and the informative content within and would like to see him succeed and not fail because of the actions of others. Thank you Ray and I wish you good luck on your adventure.
    655
  47. I don't mind losing customers, but i do mind losing GOOD customers. No loss here.
    627
  48. Car is fighting you because you didn’t acknowledge it by saying Das Auto 🤣
    622
  49. You did get me. I was like OMG!
    620
  50. Dad: "You took ADVANTAGE of my daughter by FIXING the problem!!!" Ray: "Sorry about that, I'll revert everything I fixed and install the dead battery so you can get a second opinion from the "mechanic" that stuck their nose in the engine bay the first time and failed to fix anything themselves."
    611
  51. "reality is reality, and that is final." Most reasonable person I have ever seen
    607
  52. That's awesome. Never seen a rotor ground right down like that before.
    606
  53. The van coming the other direction saved you guys. He was almost all the way on the shoulder when the mustang flew by you two.

  54. I had one kid drop off his beat-to-hell BMW e39 540i touring late one Thursday night after making an appointment for diagnostics over the phone. First thing the next morning I walked around the car and took photos of everything, even the cluster with service indicator, mileage, CEL, and other warning lights. Got it in on the lift and took a few more pics and wrote up an estimate for everything. The kid showed up with his buddy after school on Friday afternoon, paid the diagnostic fee and took the car without saying a word. I get a call Monday morning from some guy screaming at me about what we did to his son's immaculate car, threatening to kick our asses and sue us and drag our business through the mud, etc. Once I was able to calm him down, I sent him the photos and video we took of his son's "pristine" car covered in dew in the parking lot. He changed his tune pretty quickly and eventually apologized and told us the car was "perfect" when he gave it to his son 6 months prior, but admitted to not having seen it in 3-4 months since. There's been a few other times where the customer legitimately discovered damage to their vehicle caused by a spouse or child when we did our walkaround, and I got the gut feeling a few other times I foiled someone's attempt at defrauding the shop. I don't tolerate thieves or fraudsters.
    587
  55. Ray, noticed this on the web. "the problem has now been resolved and it was insanely ridiculous as to what was causing the problem. Of all the replacing and trial and error, it turns out it was the fuses that needed to be changed out (the black cubes in the trunk fuse box)! I was able to speak at length with our master mechanic at my former job and he explained that inside of the fuses there are connectors that toggle internally when the cpu tells it to. Internally, these fuses build up carbon on the connectors and tend to not produce the charge needed to make the car function properly, CAUSING STALL OUTS. I replaced all the black cubes and black rectangle fuses in the box and now it runs great, no stalling! I would strongly advise trying this approach versus the replacements I made throughout the last two plus years"
    585
  56. Please don't turn the video off because of a few bad elements. The people you help far outweigh the people that complain. You are a good person, never forget that. Stay well, and a swift recovery to all!
    585
  57. "Just because you repaired one thing 1000 times, doesn't mean that's what it is 1001 times" Words to live by! Always test! Maybe doubt yourself a little and test some more! lol
    559
  58. No cameraman, no sound man, no production team and still better than anything on the tv here in the UK. Thank you Ray.
    543
  59. Sorry, not trolling you🙂 I just wanted to say how much I appreciate your videos. For some reason, since you started on your own, the videos have got better and you seem a lot happier. Cheers, all the best.
    543
  60. You touch it you broke it.
    537
  61. I could drain a radiator over a swimming pool and still get it all over the floor
    536
  62. I spent my entire career in service garages and can't believe I'm spending hours watching YouTube videos of someone working on vehicles, but here I am 🤷‍♂️ Good job Ray.
    531
  63. As someone who owned a Pontiac Montana of similar vintage, I can confidently say that you fixed the shift linkage so it can drive 20 more miles before the entire transmission dies.
    520
  64. This video is the perfect example of why I am so busy in my shop at my house, dishonest shops. I’ve been a tech since 1976. I opened a shop out of my house in 1987 and have been busier than most shops ever since, not because I’m the greatest mechanic but because I’m honest.
    520
  65. "I don't posses the knowledge to fix this." These words (I know it's not exactly what he said but still) are okay to say. No one person can know everything there is to know about everything. If you can't fix it, send it to someone who can. It's perfectly fine.
    515
  66. Picture in picture is quite distracting especially if the little picture shows like 3fps with a delay of a few seconds between the 2nd and the main camera. I suggest cutting back and forth between the two or only show the PIP 2nd camera on occasion, and with a proper, less jerky framerate (edit: and synced up with the main cam). The second angle is a good idea otherwise!
    515
  67. I see the problem, your corvette has an automatic transmission.
    514
  68. We all know that if Ray was going to give a gift to his viewers it'd be an empty can of brake cleaner... and we'd cherish that can!
    511
  69. Remember when the master cylinder, booster and lines were all accessible with room to spare, I miss those days.
    507
  70. When I used to co-own an automotive window tinting business, I used to get yelled out because I never re-installed baby/child seats in the car when I was finished. Not only does it take extra time to do so, I always told the customer I didn't for liability reasons. Could you imagine if a customer had gotten into an accident and their child was injured, and in turn they try to blame me for improperly installing the seat? Yeah, no thanks.
    506
  71. Customer: My car is shaking. Ray: It's the tires, they need to be replaced. Customer: Nah, don't bother. Ray: OK Customer comes back next day: Why is my car still shaking?
    506
  72. I am glad to witness that even though you were being pushed you still did a complete job. Customer may not thank you so I will. Thank you!
    492
  73. “That’s where we failed.” You’re a team player and an exemplary boss. Nice!
    488
  74. “I’ve recreated the customer’s issue” said no dealership mechanic of any car under warranty ever 😂
    486
  75. *ATTENTION RAY* - This is a known issue with many Honda V-6 models where the front VTEC spool valve leaks oil down onto the alternator below. Honda TSB 20-023 has been issued with the technical repair procedure to address this issue. I had this same problem on my in-laws 2016 Honda Odyssey. Replacing the gasket on the front VTEC spool valve resolves the issue. DO NOT replace the front valve cover gasket. It will not resolve the oil leaking issue and you will end up frying your new alternator eventually again. Once again, Honda TSB 20-023 has the repair procedure for a proper fix for this. Hope this helps others on here as well!
    485
  76. “Lady I’ve never banged a Tahoe in my life” this was way funnier than it needed to be (10:05 if you care)
    478
  77. This has definitely started to turn into more of a restoration mechanically it seems like everything you touch needs to be replaced that’s what happens when you go years with no maintenance
    472
  78. In a world full of selfish people. You are a breath of fresh air, an honest person, a teacher , a really cool dude. Keep up the good work.
    471
  79. customer changed his mind... only wants a couple of air fresheners.
    470
  80. "It appears that adding coolant has made the car stop overheating." Priceless lol
    469
  81. Ray, first and foremost be safe brother. That being said you forgot to tell us the milage on the truck and a few videos ago you forgot to mention the hours on the ATV. These Videos are amazing! please stay safe!
    469
  82. Bro! The parts department doesn't make mistakes. It must to be your fault for having the wrong car.
    468
  83. You're a man of skill, goodwill, and integrity. They made a huge mistake, and it's their loss. Go have a beer or two and keep on moving forward. I'm sure things will work out just fine for you 👍
    464
  84. I went from turning wrenches to managing a shop for a while, I've always been a rather calm even keeled person but after a year of dealing with customers that either thought we were trying to rip them off or complained about everything from how long it was taking to how much everything cost, I threw in the towel and went back to turning wrenches with the realization that cars are way easier to deal with than people.
    462
  85. He will probably "forget" to change the oil, destroy the engine, and then say it's your fault for breaking off the dip stick. Then expect you to install a junk yard engine for $500.
    461
  86. Glad to hear the click on the schrader valve lol. Oh future reference GM vent valves will not open under pressure from the smoke machine. Test it out sometime on a known good you'll see what I mean. On GM if you have the system under full pressure of the smoke machine it will not open... Vacuum it will work fine though. Anyhow might help you out in the future 👍
    458
  87. I do DIY and constantly impressed watching professionals do jobs that would take me days of cursing to do a quarter as well , hats off to you sir ☺
    456
  88. I already thought this customer was a drop kick, but that headlight story was the icing on the cake!!!
    455
  89. I feel your frustration, Ray. When you pour your heart and soul into your work, you open yourself up to mindless jerks who think nothing of crushing spirits in order to further their own ends. In this case, the customer couldn't believe that he'd made a mistake. Rather than laughing it off and learning from the experience, he kicks the first dog he sees; unfortunately, that was you. I've learned so much from your videos, and you've become a vital part of my morning routine. You have the perfect combination of technical acumen, personality, and humor that guarantees success. I hope you can shrug this off and understand that there are some real dirt bags in this world that simply can't be pleased and don't deserve another moment of your time. Goosfraba, brother.
    453
  90. How much you wanna bet he didn't even need that new master cylinder and it was just the brake line the whole time.
    449
  91. I like this! People complain about an hour video and you come out with an hour and half video!! Nice! 😂
    448
  92. Yes, we saw that electrical spark from your torque wrench hitting the battery terminal! 😆 😅😅
    445
  93. I'm not a car mechanic and I don't know much about car repair, but these videos are somehow addictive.
    434
  94. I don't think I have ever wanted a complete stranger to succeed more in life... The shop is really coming along.
    430
  95.  @scanningnyc  Its my car. battery is from july 07
    429
  96. "The what everyone else did menu." 😂 Thanks for the shout out Ray 😊 I feel honored my friend, seriously appreciate it 👍
    428
  97. It's a shame there are so many YouTube viewers that should not be allowed to use the internet without supervision. As a result of that negligence, content creators are under constant attack when they should be inundated with gratitude and appreciation. Each video is a gift and I thank you for each and every one. They cost you time and money, and cost us NOTHING. If anyone has a right to complain, it's you! You give and give, and in return, you get attacked. If you stop giving, the attacks stop.
    420
  98. When i worked in a parts store, we had to check every part return. Bad part, no return. Our boss actually banned several customers for life for pulling that crap.
    414
  99. Nice to see that the whole family makes cameos in your videos. Happy Thanksgiving, Ray, to you and your entire family ❤
    412
  100. The mechanics paradox. You buy tools to fix stuff to make enough to buy more tools.
    412
  101. When you did the walk around showing off the findings I said to myself..."he's not getting that job no matter what it is." Turns out I was right haha. I could almost draw you a picture of that customer and tell you how the conversation went too...😏
    405
  102. I am sure you know this already. But for the benefit of your viewers. The best way to clean up the spilled brake fluid from surfaces quick and easy is the rinse with plain water. The old school guy.
    405
  103. The 2 people you never lie to your doctor and your mechanic, they will always find out the truth.
    404
  104. If you shake it more than two times you're playing with it.
    403
  105. I always hated working on collision-damaged cars. There is always the risk of significant STORED energy in places where you would not expect it. Disassembly of such a car for repairs can be very dangerous. A frame member doesn't have to be called a spring to ACT like a spring! Much respect to the good folks still in the trenches daily doing this work. Be careful under there, Ray.
    401
  106. Seriously classy move on the rotors. It's important to encourage folks who have the ability and tools to roll up their sleeves and tackle the job. Educating them how to do it right will pay for itself in the future, guaranteed.
    395
  107. The respect you showed your wife should be used as an example for all youtubers. Thank you for blocking the wardrobe issue
    392
  108. And especially don't watch it with your wife and then have your girlfriend show up.... wait what is this video about again 🙄😏
    392
  109. Ahhh finally a car from my neck of the woods 😁 haha good job not loosing your mind and also glad to see the gas light on. Only thing better would have been wheel locks and no key 🤣
    391
  110. Ray, as the owner of this Cadillac Escalade I would like to thank you for solving this mystery noise.
    381
  111. Can we seriously give Ray a round of applause and thumbs up, for how many videos he puts out! Awesome job and thank you Ray!
    379
  112. Replacing an alternator without testing the battery or even cleaning the posts and clamps, one of my peeves. Hope you sent the link to this video to her father who probably didn't plug in the airflow sensor properly, among a few other failures.
    377
  113. that is END OF TRANSMISSION
    375
  114. Thank you for showing respect to the wife unit by not showing off her boots. I'm so tired of immature guys on YouTube pimping out their wives just to attract viewers. This small act proves that you have respect for her, as well as yourself. You two are a beautiful, classy couple; you just made my day.
    371
  115. Stopping is never really a problem. If the brakes don't stop you, something else will. You always end up stopped.
    370
  116. It survived? And (almost) no damage at home, you all safe, so much good news. So happy for you all!
    369
  117. if this was a scam, what was the scam?
    362
  118. Thank You Brother! I Appreciate You Telling My Story, I'm honored to have you tell it and be by my side through this. I'm honored to have you as a friend
    362
  119. Good job using the torque wrench. Too bad you missed one of the lug nuts.
    361
  120. That wasn't supposed to happen untill 37k miles just after the 36k mile warranty. Gm is slacking.
    355
  121. Ray: I don't know why this job is supposed to take 5-6 hours but I'm sure I'll find out. Ray 3 minutes later: So I have to remove the liquid cooled alternator to get at the crank sensor so I can take out the dipstick, then maybe I can get a look at the intake manifold.
    347
  122. Not one comment about Ray`s warning towards creepy stalkers 😆loved it 👍
    347
  123. as a teenager I spun a rod bearing, over revved engine, was too poor to buy new motor, or used motor. so I pulled oil pan, & bought 1 rod bearing, back then you could get 1 bearing, 35+ years ago, I polished crank with wet/dry 600 grit paper, lubricated with kerosene, & used a shoestring wrapped around paper on rod journal. it worked. now when I put new rod bearing in, rod was loose on crankshaft, so I removed & took the cap & sanded cap on 400 grit paper, glued to a piece of glass, I know I only did 1 side, but I managed to tighten clearances, & I drove car for over 25k miles without issues, I was always afraid to mash throttle too hard, & it lasted until I was able to get another car & was a little more financially stable. the car was a 1964 Impala, & that engine is still in it, & it has been siting close to 30 years in my back yard.
    345
  124. I wouldn’t let my techs get into cars like that. I had no problems with turning those cars away. I was always booked three weeks out so I could afford to pick and chose the work that I let in. I would often send overflow to other local shops.
    342
  125. This is why I watch YouTube instead of TV.... REAL people helping REAL people - not reality TV. Prayers for your continued success and to the Tosi Family for healing.
    341
  126. Ray you’re not wrong for calling out people who steal. I hate thieves.
    340
  127. Ray it's super cool that you're helping Troy fix up his Jeep and being his mentor. Not enough men take time to help and encourage the young men in this nation. Good on you Bro.
    340
  128. that exactly the kind of car that comes back later with a " ever since you looked at my coolant leak my engine knocks"
    340
  129. I guess the coffee light was more P.C. then a message stating "Stop looking at your phone and driving like an asshole, Karen!"
    335
  130. Hey Ray. I just wanted to thank you for saving me hundreds of dollars. My check engine light popped on the other day and the car went into limp mode and ran rough. I thought it might have been bad gas but I thought of how you would diagnose the problem. I ran a scan and it told me that there was a misfire on #1. I cleared the code and ran it some more and the same code, P0301, came up again. So I pulled the plug on #1 and looked at it and it looked fine. I then swapped the coils between #1 and #3, scanned it and the problem moved to #3. I bought a new coil and put it in and “presto!” the scan came up clear. Watching you do this exact thing gave me the confidence that I could do what turned out to be a simple fix. BTW, it was on a Lexus with the 4GR engine, so I am really glad the problem wasn’t on #4 or #6.😅 Also, I kept catching myself saying “click.”
    334
  131. That's not a truck that's an Alabama chromosome mobile
    329
  132. Why is Ray depriving us of the thrill we get from watching him pour things? What have we done?
    325
  133. I'm not here to diss Snap-On (I have my eyes on one of those digital torque + angle Torque Wrenches Snappy sells) but I do own that HF torque wrench you have haha. It works good, I like the nice click, and in the mid range (Around 60-100) it's pretty darn accurate, last I checked mine it was only off by about 1 ft/lb give or take. Lots of HF stuff is ok. But when you work with the tools all day, for 10 hours a day (like I do) you want tools that are more than just "ok"
    324
  134. In NY our kids can delete their gender but it is illegal to delete your muffler.... just sayin. Enjoy your freedom in FL 😁
    321
  135. Eric O. Is probably laughing hysterically while having his coffee this morning watching this.
    320
  136. Young mechanics, PLEASE take careful note of how Ray has expanded his tool storage. A toolbox is just that, a toolbox. A toolbox is for securing the tools that make you money, my toolbox has never made me a penny, but it protects the things that do. CONGRATS RAY YOU EARNED IT!
    320
  137. when you said ‘Do you want to go see the shop?’ I was yelling yes, yes, like a dog wanting to go on a walk! thanks for this 👍🇨🇦
    320
  138. They hire people that don't know anything at auto stores. Don't give up. You got this.
    319
  139. The staff in my local McDonald's struggle with "No Cheese". I can sympathise.
    318
  140. As a shop owner i have a couple simple suggestions. 1. Create an LLC 2. Get a CPA (A Real one)
    316
  141. Next chapter: "Customer states A/C worked fine until Ray worked on it."
    315
  142. I feel like I'm getting an advanced degree in automotive diagnostics! Seriously learning a bunch from these videos. Wish they would have been available 40 years ago.
    315
  143. Sometimes ya just cannot win. My opinion, you were as quick and thorough as needed per your normal work ethic. Enjoyed
    313
  144. Respect for acknowledging the "bad apples" out there; I will admit it was a bit off-putting to hear your naievity in regards to shady practice. My first experience with a mechanic at 16 years old soured me to the trade and I've been doing all of my own maintenance from that time on with the exception of exhaust, tires and A/C work. If more folks would operate like you I'd have no hesitation to pay a premium to have my second most valuable possession serviced by a professional - but my experience has been that work I've performed - even when screwing it up - is cheaper and better; albeit losing on the time side. Keep it up; a sign of true intelligence and understanding is the ability to admit when things aren't right, regroup / reassess, and use logic to re-percieve a situation when new datum presents itself - which you seem to have done here. Kudos!
    312
  145. Love customers like this. Can't spare an hour to have the vehicle serviced to keep it on the road but willing to wait in line all day for the next Iphone upgrade....
    310
  146. I spent over 10 years between working in a tire shop doing tires, to working on cars at a dealership, and eventually writing service. I've seen this so many times. Barely touch a car and get blamed for CEL, wipers not working, etc etc. I don't know if its that they want something free, or that they are now paying more attention to the car since it was "worked" on... But it's very aggravating at times.
    308
  147. Years ago I was pumping gas at garage when I was kid. The local police always filled up there. One day the police officer went an used the bathroom blocking the pump up. Without thinking I jumped in a pulled it forward into a parking spot. Didn't think about til I see the cop running out of the bathroom gun drawn and his pants down around his ankles... he thought it was being stolen. I got a bit of a chewing out. Made it worse cause I couldn't stop laughing... Edit.. it was the 80s and yes cops left keys in cars!
    308
  148. That was some of the coolest diagnostics I've seen, you sir bring honor to our profession.
    308
  149. Dexcool has this amazing ability to indicate when somebody really, really doesn't care about vehicle maintenance. It goes from perfectly fine coolant to corrosive gasket eating scourge long after it really should have been replaced, then when really really neglected, the coolant along with everything it's consumed starts turning into this primordial ooze like soupy Play-Doh. If you leave it for long enough, I suspect it becomes self aware.
    307
  150. I worked on my own cars for 25 years, built and raced 2 racing cars over about 15 of those years. I hurt my back badly and am in constant pain and can't work on my own car or even wash it anymore. No more tinkering in the garage or just spending time in the garage. Your video brought me so much joy in just appreciating being able to work on a car. Thank you.
    304
  151. EXCELLENT VIDEO!! we don't need music
    303
  152. No one going to talk about the huge spider at 18:50 and then he puts his hand right up near it?! 18:51
    300
  153. does the surgeon blame the knife for cutting too deep or is it the surgeons fault for pressing to hard? any long term tech knows their impact guns well. I can feather that trigger to 90ft pounds with a single press and go back in and torque to spec. Its like knowledge. knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit. wisdom is knowing not to put it in a fruit salad. Experience shows and yours is lacking
    299
  154. Thanks for taking care of this right away my friend. I know you are busy, and you know how I hate the heat. Thanks for squeezing me in. Ray is the best!
    297
  155. I like this Jeep video series because it shows the kinds of challenges faced by many of us amateur mechanics. These older cars can have multiple issues due to age and high mileage. Sometimes those "try-agnostics" is all we can work with.
    297
  156. Gotta love those genuine USA made GM parts
    295
  157. Those brass things are cordless hole punches. Stay safe and be well.
    294
  158. Ray, as a father who works in IT in Indiana, I greatly appreciate this indepth look into your experience with Ian. Your an excellent father and mechanic. Thank you for all you do. Keep it coming
    293
  159. How could anyone be mad at that? It’s not like you’re releasing videos only for members. It’s a nice perk of being a member to have early access. We love you no matter what you choose to do Ray, keep doing what you’re doing!
    293
  160. I think the infection spread to his brain and they had to induce a medical coma and they are monitoring him, he has brain inflammation and spinal lesions/brain lesions. He is not responsive at the moment and his family sure could use the help, thank you to everyone who helps and has helped. God bless
    292
  161. How do people expect you to just work on that and not say anything? Nasty. Great job as always Ray, keep em coming!
    292
  162. Thanks for being human and not an ordinary YouTuber. You always keep it real. Glad you are all safe. The images are devastating.
    291
  163. You needed to call Rainman Ray's Repairs, his shop is the best, they will fix you up asap 👍
    290
  164. Woe your aircon gassing procedures are relaxed there. In australia we can't regas a system with a known leak (the schrader valves) we also can't gas a system without pressure testing
    285
  165. That must be the worst design I’ve ever seen. That’s just awful! 😮
    285
  166. When I hear a mechanic say "oh no" like a fucking Muppet from sesame street, I know it's really bad.
    285
  167. Idk what they're paying you mate but it's not enough. Bringing in a reasonably sized fleet account is definitely something to be proud of. Hello from the UK.
    285
  168. Even after a 3plus battery swap out day he returned to work and had a happy ending :) I love a good story!
    282
  169. If you ever get any information about the future of these 2 attempted trans saves, please share them with us.
    281
  170. "Little does this control arm know my ability to escalate the levels of violence is unmatched" Best quote of 2022 right here. 10/10
    281
  171. I believe in you, Ray, I don’t care what nobody says. You’re a good honest mechanic and you speak your mind.
    281
  172. Silly question. Why were you/it being spun over with it only half assembled? No disrespect to whom done it as that cog design is shite, I don’t believe anyone expected it to be affixed in that manner, just don’t see what was the purpose of starting it up half built was?
    280
  173. "We'll fix this because we can" That statement right there 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
    279
  174. i think the main culprit was the connector that was missing the clip. which made it able to bounce around while driving and not making a stable connection.
    278
  175. Maybe you will be invited to the BBK factory soon. I have had to go through three steering box's to get one that works.
    277
  176. "yea that light was never on before", said every customer ever
    276
  177. Dude! I respect your drive to learn but you need to do more research before you dive in to things you are not knowledgeable about. As you discovered, the valve body does not need to come off to remove the bellhousing/pump. If you do remove the valve body, the very first thing you do after removing the pan and filter is to lift the white tab and pull out the pass-through connector. The valve body needs to be reinstalled straight up and down, not at an angle to insure good seal to the bridge seal. GM recommends that you DO NOT remove the stator shaft from the pump assembly. There are noted issues with the gasket between the stator and the pump cover blowing out. Doing this is not required to inspect the pump. You did not remove the pump rotor and vanes to inspect under the slide. If you would have, you would see that there is major damage to the pump body. ANY scoring seen and the pump needs replacing. Standard procedure on a failed torque converter in a 6L80/6L90. HOWEVER! That is not your major concern. What is a concern(you may have already found out) is that this truck is coming back to you in short order. When you started messing with the 1234/35R drum, you got to know the little intricacies and you don't. At 55:21, you can plainly see that the snap ring is not seated. There is one "blind" lug on the drum that the snap ring ends have to span. You have the snap ring over this lug and one or two shifts and the entire snap ring is going to pop off.
    276
  178. Take a moment or even more, and remember all those who have served in our country to preserve our freedoms that we’re put in place by our forefathers. Thanks Ray too, for all of the Great videos you tirelessly film, edit and post here!
    276
  179. Be safe Ray , we don’t want to lose the only good mechanic in Fla. Take care of your family first.
    275
  180. Things I like about Ray - thoroughness of explanations - respect for customers, even when difficult - respect for the customers stuff - his Pavlovian response to the shop phone
    274
  181. Sometimes the best thing you can do is walk away. I can only imagine the liability if you “fixed” that and it then fell apart and caused an accident.
    274
  182. Ray, just a small thing, but it makes a difference, put the iron under the wires, and flow the solder into the heated wire.
    273
  183. The reason you didn't hear the groaning from the brakes is because it's not Sunday.
    273
  184. "No problem found" on a 3-valve Triton. History was made here.
    272
  185. Will he trace where all the hoses in the rat’s nest of a truck go? Will the right parts be delivered to the shop the first time? Is there enough brake cleaner in Florida to keep the insatiable Ray satisfied? The answer to these questions and many more in today’s episode of Rainman Ray’s Repairs 👍😎
    272
  186. From the customer view, I'd go back to the shop that over-torqued the sensors and get them to pay for Ray's work. Looks like the sensors tested okay at low frequency (Ray's tapping) but weren't working at engine frequency (probably non-linear), because the sensor and body weren't together due to over-torqueing.
    270
  187. Working in the automotive industry myself, I was definitely surprised to see that they let you shoot videos in the shop. I admire your honesty and integrity with customers vehicles. I'm confident you'll find a shop that let's you do your thing. Cheers!
    269
  188. As another YouTuber would say, that mini is "Googats!" but the self-lubricating chassis system is working quite well
    267
  189. I love how the baby is just singing in the background. Not a care in the world lol
    265
  190. Man, so many people have their cars filled with trash. I couldn't drive in a car like that.
    264
  191. The first two commentors, talking about bad luck, seem to be missing that no one was injured and that there was no property was damaged. It was good to see how Ray "safely" resolved what could have been a real disaster.
    264
  192. I'm glad you show all the challenges along the way instead of just jump cutting through them. That wat makes you videos so great!
    263
  193. Trolls: Ray doesn't care about customers cars Ray: I do these 17 other steps to ensure the customer doesn't have issues in the near future, most other mechanics thinks it's stupid but I still do it
    263
  194. It just make my little heart smile seeing all the rust <3
    260
  195. Owner states: “Change out the perfectly good functional brake pads I like then changed every six months”. Garage service manager: I see you have 50,000 miles do you want an oil change?” Car’s owner: “What’s that?”
    260
  196. Good morning Ray. I’m sure you were aware that I couldn’t wait for you to post this video. Sorry that back cover is a pain but I knew you were the right person for the job. Can’t wait to see Part 2. Always so amazed at your work. Thank you again for doing such a great job on my GF Lexus. Actually shipping it today to her in Chicago. I’ll see you soon with my Truck! Have a great day!
    260
  197. Ray, I know several people in the area and shared the link to your video with them. I highly doubt someone this dumb is connected to anyone associated with Cleetus and the boys at Freedom Factory or the guys over at the drag strip. Not much I can do from across the US beside that. Just glad everyone is safe and able to make it home tonight. You stay safe out there Ray.
    258
  198. 99 days overdue and the lady is angry because you took 45 minutes? She needs to have more respect
    257
  199. CS : Vehicle Shakes when applying brakes while driving normally. Recommended Repair : Replace Rotors/Drums as confirmed experience with shaking while driving and applying brakes. Also visual inspection suggests brake surface wear. PS Repair : Lugnuts stripped AF. CS : "I just paid $1200 for new brakes all the way around. I meant the brakes apply themselves. Not that it shakes. Just change the damn oil." Repair : Slap it with an oil change because the customer doesn't believe what was found. Boy do I miss managing a shop. Such magical experiences.
    257
  200. Will Ray get covered in oil? Will gravity be stronger than usual? Will he go “doo dee doo” crazy? The answer to this question and many more in today’s episode of Rainman Ray…
    256
  201. The cost of the parts cleaner was more than the cars worth
    256
  202. looks like you are ready to start you new venture, congrats,getting organized is half of the battle; i cannot wait to see new content in a different place!
    255
  203. Just because the Gopro 9 was new doesn't mean its any good 🤣. Good video 👍
    254
  204. Have to give the truck a name
    253
  205. Thank you Ray for disassembling the Compressor - interesting to see the innards and how they work.
    252
  206. The REEEEEEE is hilarious. Soooo many experts. I love the backhanded comment about chroming the diff cover bolts, made me chuckle. Don’t let the talking heads change you Ray. Keep on hosing out engine compartments, welding ball joints, and using an air chisel for anything possible.
    252
  207. Let's hope your boss is ok with you being late for work 😉
    252
  208. This has an intermittent mechanically sticking purge valve, almost for sure. If the purge valve sticks open it will run rich, causing your negative fuel trim you saw in freeze frame. These purge valves fail like this all the time. I've replaced half a dozen in the last year for this very same issue. Driving it for a couple weeks with this condition may even set a "purge during non purge" code which would confirm, as well. Watching the video from last time you had difficult getting the vent valve to open when it was closed. I also commented on that last video that these vent valves will not always open when you have pressure in the system from the smoke machine and that old vent valve was likely just fine. If the gas cap was the issue you would have most definitely had smoke from around the gas cap with the smoke machine. So, unless there is smoke coming from the top of the tank around the fuel pump area the only other option for a leak is the purge...again explaining your negative fuel trim in freeze frame data. Use the purge and seal option in the scan tool to open the purge valve with the engine running and watch vacuum on the tank. I've seen them not start to purge under 10 or 20% but start to purge at 30-40%, indicating the valve sticking. Another test I do is to use the vent valve open/close option with the engine running to close the vent valve and watch to see if any vacuum is being drawn on the tank through the purge valve when not commanded on.
    250
  209. You ever notice customers fuel tanks are mostly empty EXCEPT when you have to replace the fuel pump. Then they are filled to the brim.
    249
  210. I am a heavy truck mechanic at a fleet shop, so I work on stuff all day long. You would think that watching someone work on cars is the last thing that I’d want to do, but your vlogs are really good, and interesting. Congrats Ray, you got yourself another subscriber
    249
  211. I'm looking forward to this next chapter of Ray! Congrats! But promise to get the same phone system, don't deprive us of our daily "doodle-doodle-ooo"
    247
  212. I benefited a lot from your film about dropping a fuel tank, Sir. I was able to complete that procedure on a small passenger car with not much difficulties using a scissor jack for motorcycle. Thank you! I regret you lost your job, and hope the shop will change that decision, you are so great mechanic, and nothing wrong about the recording, your work is always so professional and great. I'm sorry, it was because of us. 🌍❤🌠
    247
  213. Hello Ray, A funny story. My wife and myself were in the local hardware store the other day. A clerk managed to drop a handful of tools to the concrete floor, which made quite a clatter. My wife and I looked at each other and at the same time yelled "GRAVITY!". The clerk just gave us a strange look.
    247
  214. This scam has been growing across all high traffic channels. On one hand you should feel honored. Maybe in your videos you can bust on them and quickly explain for the new followers.
    245
  215. This morning, my wife emptied a can of hair spray and threw it into the living room. She was so proud of herself 🙂
    244
  216. Ray is concerned about flipping us off, then proceeds to give us the double-bird at 27:54 😂 Love your content, Ray. Instant Sub. 👏
    240
  217. the second you ask if the new mic is good ----> it stopped working
    239
  218. Ray wins the YouTuber award for craziest coverage of Hurricane Ian! Stay safe man!! and hope the chickens survive.
    238
  219. Woooooo yeah buddy! This was just a stroke of luck. That phone call was the best of the week. Auction cars are always a huge gamble but for what I paid I knew it would part out well. Intuition and experience told me there was more to the story, and wasn’t a flood. Instead, we’re still scratching our heads! When a big storm hits, there’s never enough adjusters to physically look at every vehicle to confirm damage and often flood vehicles don’t have a visual indicator right away like mold. So the insurance companies look at the area the vehicle was located and similar claims and will write it off, set up towing and cut a check without ever seeing the vehicle in person. Thanks buddy!
    238
  220. Wish my mechanic filmed the repairs! Informative and I know it gets done right. Ray, I wish all mechanics were like you, honest and skilled. Keep em coming!
    238
  221. Brillant development. You're officially our "Eric O" in Alligator land. I totally get where you're coming from on the city front. You wait until you get even older! Your own space becomes more precious. Since turning 50, my diary now just has one page...With a big NO! written on it.
    237
  222. Thank you Ray for the excellent job on repairing my steering rack and my steam pipe on my Pontiac! Totally loved watching the video seeing my car being fixed by you personally! What an awesome experience! Thank you thank you thank you!!!
    236
  223. That Charger really does need a second PROPER restoration. Sad to see such a beautiful car in such bad condition.
    236
  224. It's only 238.855.00 miles to the moon from here. That little Ford is doing pretty well. looks like the owner takes good care and does the required maintenance. I remember when I was a kid working at the gas station/garage. The customer states "I hear a knocking noise" when his old 67 ford ranchero with a 289 would shift from 1st to second. yes, it was an automatic. A regular customer and a nice guy. He asked me to take it out for a drive and see if you can hear what I'm talking about. Sure thing, I hop in, turn out on the highway. I wind up 1st gear kind of heavily. he did say step on it a little. So I did. I heard the noise X10, knock, knock, BANG! Check the rearview to see a cloud of smoke and debris sliding down the road right behind me. The engine has locked up. I walked back to the shop 600' away. I found a piece of what looked like a rod cap in the road. We towed it in. put it on the rack. The underside is completely covered in oil. It was then I noticed where the oil was coming from. The lower driver's side of the engine block had a massive hole in it. yep, it threw a rod. He was a good sport about it. He said he was glad we found the bad part, that he didn't want his wife to break down on the highway. He had us install a replacement short block. He didn't balk at the cost of repairs. Just a good old dude. It was a learning experience for me. Cheers from Louisiana.
    235
  225. Quite honestly if you didn’t have haters you probably are doing it wrong.
    235
  226. Problem is it costs your time(money) to wait on other parts while you could be finishing the customers vehicle.
    234
  227. If I've learned anything from this video it's to look up service information on any car I'm not familiar with. That's just insane. Hope the poor guy doesn't beat himself up over it
    233
  228. Sorry to hear about your death Ray 😢 Gonna miss you man and condolences to your wife and family 🙏🏼
    233
  229. Just watched this one after the one where you extracted yourself from that dealership job before and the difference in your personality is stark. You sound so much happier in this job then you did in the previous one and that’s making your content so much better. Good on you.
    231
  230. Glad to hear you guys made it! Hearing the little one singing in the background is a testament to your parenting.... they're calm and happy despite the crazyness around them!
    230
  231. Started watching when you was working at the dealership. Always enjoyed the videos.
    230
  232. I went back to see some of Ray’s earlier videos, before he went self employed, Ray seems to be much happier now than before despite having more responsibilities. Ray has landed on his feet with owning his own business.
    229
  233. Just remember Ray the vast majority are with you and wife unit. Once again. The sun in Australia has gone and so have I. Will watch with a coffee in the morning.
    229
  234. Glad to see you're safe... and that some of the chickens made it so far. Stay safe!!

  236. I hate short videos, screw the algorithm! Great to see you making a success of your venture Ray, really happy for you 👍
    225
  237. Absolutely obsessed with this channel. As a mechanic myself we are always learning, and you sir have taught me plenty.
    225
  238. Ray, you test drove the car without showering before hand, with no gloves on and you were not wearing a sanitized clean suit or a new pair of boots. Also, you touched the hood with your fingers when you opened it and were not wearing felt gloves. All painting experts know that this damaged that paint beyond repair. You plugged in your scanner to the OBDII port without scrubbing it down first which could introduce a virus into the vehicle's computer. You did not use a recently calibrated torque wrench when you tightened the bolts on the battery terminals. Ha ha, sorry, I was just pre-empting some of the comments that were probably going to be posted.
    225
  239. When you edit out your feelings, we lose part of who you are. Ray, don’t do that. Your personality is what makes your channel so much fun to watch.
    224
  240. I ride motorcycles. This is terrifying.
    223
  241. Apologizes for his hands getting in the way and yet consistently puts out some of the best auto repair videos on YouTube.
    222
  242. Hi Ray. You have been teaching this old man about some things i did not know. You are informative and funny at the same time. Thanks for the time you share with us old folk. God bless you and your family.
    222
  243. You did it, you owned it and you made it right.....that’s the way a shop should operate. Also the engineer who decide the crank pulley would be “better” without a key way...oh he needs a boot in the a@@
    221
  244. Ray, I spend 4 hours a day 3 days a week at dialysis. Your videos are what keep me sane and entertained. Thanks from an old gearhead.

  245. Hey Ray. I'm a former landscaper and have dealt with that situation many times. You need to add a fuel shut off valve between the tank and carb. Then when you are done with the equipment shut the fuel off and leave the equipment running until it burns the fuel out of the bowl on the carb. For winter storage I always used STA-BIL fuel additive. Always worked well.

  247. You've come a long way Ray. From a few bays in other's shops, to all of the bays in your own. The shop is looking good sir. Well done!👍👍
    218
  248. As a fellow automotive tech, in my 20 years of experience, I have found that, more than the perpetual hiss of a leaking air hose, more than the obnoxious brain rattling noise of an air hammer against a sized wheel bearing, the single most annoying sound in car repair is the door ajar/key in ignition/headlights on chime. Its enough to make me want to jam a rusty screwdriver in both of my ears. Thank you to whomever made that chiming stopped. You are a true hero.

  249. Face fact: if it weren't for the stupid, most of us wouldn't have careers. lol

  250. I appreciate you taking the time to use my JM3 Oil Filter Wrench. A local power Sports center said they didn’t work. Thank you for putting that myth to rest. RainMan Ray saves the day. 🎉
    217
  251. Along with everyone else here, I'd like to join in thanking you for the literal countless hours you devote to your viewers. Even from Australia! G'day! Stay strong, stay well, stay safe and I can't wait to see what is around the corner! Cheers.
    217
  252. You checked my AC and now my back brakes are all worn out! What did you do!?!?
    216
  253. Appearing To leave the cap off generated soooo many comments. Great for getting that comment to view ratio up. Good job 👍
    215
  254. Been in those spots before. Some real assholes out there. Glad you and the other driver are okay.
    213
  255. So…. You are a regular customer,(not a real technician) , and you bring your vehicle to a dealership. They fire the parts cannon because they claim the data told them the modules lost connection. Thousands of dollars later, your vehicle still doesn’t run. The service writer apologizes for not fixing the problem and recommends you speak to sales and purchase a new vehicle. This hypothetical situation is becoming the reality to most vehicle owners. Wish there were more experienced technicians with ethics, like you Ray.

  256. Back in the old days we had sub woofers and dedicate equalizers. Cassette players and radios. It was all wired up on the fly and shoved into the dashboard. If it worked you were a legend! Pity it's all vanilla now. The youth of today will never experience pulling a dash apart or laying on your back for an hour under the steering wheel re-wiring the radio. Simpler times!
    213
  257. Relatively new watcher, but an old gear head. Dude your videos are addictive. You pretty much have the conversation I have in my head as I work with your camera. High quality stuff, definitely a fan
    213
  258. Have fun at SEMA and, more importantly, have a great day with no more boss man!
    212
  259. i dont understand the people calling u a sellout. i love the honesty and opportunity to see the manufacturing facility.
    212
  260. Glad to know you're okay, mostly... Because you know a day without Ray is like a day without sunshine 😎😎😎 get well Greetings from Lake City 😎🌴🇺🇸

  261. Aluminum tape over the wheel, spread grease over the tape, torch lugnut off. Won't hurt the rim. Takes 10 minutes. Just some advice, been wrenching in the salt belt for a long time! Lol
    211
  262. Ray hasn't checked the air filter in so long he forgot how to remove it.🤣
    210
  263. Woohoo who else looks forward to their daily dose of Ray?

  266. 10,000 years of civilization has brought me to this moment where I am spending minutes of my life watching an odometer click over..... the irony is not lost on me.
    207
  267. Glad you liked the "Remove Before Flight" tag. We had them on pitot tubes covers for our UH-1H Hueys and I thought it might help you to not forget, to not forget . . .
    204
  268. Anyone else remember when the most difficult part of replacing a water pump was removing a fan?
    204
  269. Some people say - put the better high volume pump in it - well that isn't always the answer and here is why The cause is how the oil flow design in the upper end of this engine is - feeds from one driver side which is typically always clean and the passenger which typically looks dirty - pcv circulation here is poor as well and causes alot of the discoloration as well ( I forget what side gets darker or oil flow first but you get the point here ). The fix is more service more often and a decent flush every couple months - like BG EPR - AND KEEPING SOME Mmo in the oil The newer pump will help but there are other steps that are more critical that are more important ** a huge thing with these after doing this job is to not use cheap aftermarket parts ** Be very careful when putting the valve covers back on because if you slightly nick the vct timing leg / finger you'll get correlation codes when done
    204
  270. Just so you know Ray: some times it does not matter how boring the things you do in the video are, we just enjoy sharing your brain space and being in a similar state of mind. For some of us, that is apparently enough to make our day. (And it may just as well be less boring than some of the things we ourselves have to do in the course of our workday.) 😁😁😄😄
    202
  271. Stay safe ray! We love you and hope you and your family are okay
    202
  272. It’s nice to see that your business is on track to succeed! What will make it successful is your integrity and honesty, not to mention your skills as a mechanic/everything else! You’re a great guy! I wish all the success which you deserve and earned!😊🇨🇦🌲

  274. Advice I got from an old tech I worked with for a long time: If it's something you're going to be relying on a lot, buy the best quality tool you CAN AFFORD (but don't go broke buying tools). If it's something you're buying that's super situational, just go harbor freight (or amazon now). But try to have harbor freight basics around- so if someone asks to borrow a tool, you're not lending out your good stuff.

  278. One thing I really get from his videos is just how much labor and time mechanics have to go through to change out components and trouble shoot problems. They definitely don't build cars to make things easier for mechanics. Respect for mechanics!!!
    198
  279. Now see I use tight plus 6 turns and I am not a rookie so I use ultra grey silicone. Other than that you do it very similar to how I do it. Oh great tip on putting in the drain plug! You're the man Ray!!

  282. I have never seen someone put the rotor on the hub backwards for cleaning. That's smart as hell!
    194
  283. THAT is what oil looks like when an engine has run with coolant in it. I see these guys post videos where they pull the oil pan drain plug and gallons of pure coolant come out followed by plain oil. It is because they poured it in the crank case for the video. When coolant gets in oil and the engine runs it emulsifies.
    194
  284. Behind every successful man there is a strong and supportive woman. Great work Ray. 🇺🇸
    194
  285. Ray - I don't comment on YouTube videos often, but haters gonna hate. I say tell them to pound sand. I'm looking forward to videos from your new shop once you're all setup, but these shorter videos on SEMA and your life changes have been great. Thank you very much for sharing these with everyone. You seem like an honest guy with a great family behind you. I wish you all the luck and success in the world. I'll go back to "lurk mode" now and keep an eye out for more. :)
    194
  286. I had an Altima come into the shop, that had been to four other mechanics for a CLUNK on every left turn ... they had spent many hours under the car trying to figure it out .... I drove it around the block, to the left ... identified a clunk at every turn..... drove it into the parking lot, reached under the passenger seat and pulled out an empty Starbucks coffee bottle ... No more clunk. 😄😃😅🙂
    190
  287. Ray: So, what's wrong with the car? Customer states: I just hit a pothole. Ray:(after inspecting underneath the vehicle with a sh*t ton of damage) Just cut the bullsh*t and tell me exactly what you hit.🤣
    189
  288. He seems like one of those “Ever since you touched it ‘ kind of guys.

  289. These have been a grind for me lately. Ive been in the hospital with a broken jaw. You sir, are a miracle worker on vehicles and i thank you for making this channel!
    188
  290. And what exactly would u have done differently ..deuch ...please enlighten me...38 yrs in the bizz...so b specific.
    188
  291. Why on earth am I spending 25 minutes watching Ray change battery and coolant hoses? 😂. It's an addiction, that's why.
    187
  292. Best Wishes Ray, my wife passed unexpectedly last year. I came across your post. It has been the lowest time in my life. I just wanted you to know that watching you daily has helped me cope. Something to distract , some thing to change negative thoughts. Thanks, and good luck.
    187
  293. You're welcome, Ray. Been a long time since I trusted a mechanic. Your repair on my car has been flawless.
    187
  294. As I once heard from a source of wisdom. If you don’t care about your car, how can I?
    186
  295. Hate to say it Ray, but 33.3333° is not a third of a circle. 120° is...

  296. LOL. You'll have that on those Chrysler jobs. Oh who am I kidding, people can and will blow up anything! Great video Ray.
    184
  297. 11:42 its a plug for the transmission dipstick that is installed before the dipstick and usally means no one has been in the transmission before (when first installed in the factory its to keep out contaminets and once they install the dipstick it drops into the pan and can usally be a sign no one has been in the transmission before as your supposed to remove them during a service)

  298. Years back I worked on a DeLorean. After driving it a bit to troubleshoot some issues, I came to the conclusion that time travel wasn't the most unbelievable part of the Back to the Future franchise. That title goes to getting a DeLorean up to 88 mph. They're a cool car, but seriously underpowered.

  300. I must be watching way too many of your videos. I was installing a new toilet yesterday at home and when tightening the floor flange nuts on the porcelain inch pounds are required, not foot pounds. When it felt right I said “CLICK” without thinking. I guess that’s ok, I’ll keep watching!! Respectfully, Kevin
    184
  301. You're ok!!! So good to see that your family are ok given the reported deaths. Especially liked the ba ba black sheep rendition from little Rainman ❤️❤️❤️
    182
  302. 3:03 Nothing like a day of work with swamp ass. Those are the most memorable days for me.
    181
  303. Ray is getting serious on a repair when he sets the camera down and uses both hands. Nice video as always.
    179
  304. You know when you've gone too far when the person who should be answering the phone is "doo be doo doo"-ing as well.
    179
  305. Thanks for not giving up just because of the managers!
    179
  306. It's amazing the lengths Ray will go to just to have us watch an oil change video...well played Sir, well played indeed!
    179
  307. Love how the owner still has their head unit in Demo mode.
    178
  308. Thank you both for helping our family in this amazing way. We are at a loss for words. Thank you!

  309. You’ll be a success in whatever you do Ray, good luck!

  310. Be careful not to blow the drain hoses off the sunroof pan nipples, a very common issue when using high volume compressed air.
    178
  311. The 1990 Explorer listed tire pressure at 26 PSI to give it a softer ride than the 35 PSI listed for the Ranger. The lower pressure heated up the tires and they blew up. Hence the nickname "Exploder".

  312. Diesel Peeps Do you know what DEF fluid is? It's Diesel Exhaust Fluid. Every Diesel truck that has been made since 2010 is required to use it. It's a product made of 67% Urea fertilizer and 33% distilled water. Every diesel truck you see driving down the road today has to have this product to drive. The engines won't start without it. There are regulators inside the engine that mix DEF with the Diesel to reduce Diesel emissions. That's the purpose of DEF. Right now, Russia is the largest exporter of Urea by a wide margin. Qatar is second. Egypt and China are Tied for 3rd. Both Russia and China have decided to no longer export Urea. On top of that, India is the largest manufacturer of Urea in the world even though they consume most of what they make. What little they would export..........they no longer do. They are now stopping the exportation of any and all Urea minus a deal they just cut with Sri Lanka. What does this mean for you and me? Well, first, the United States imports most of it's Urea fertilizer. We are the third largest importer in the entire world. We depend on other countries to eat, drive and ship our products. Secondly... Flying J is the largest Service provider for Truckers around the Unites States. I'm sure you've seen their massive gas stations when traveling around the country. Flying J gets 70% of their DEF fluid from shipments via Union Pacific railroad. UP has single user access to the Fertilizer plants that Urea/DEF fluid comes from. No other rail provider has access to these distribution points. This means Flying J can't just go around Union Pacific. Union Pacific is in charge....for a reason I'm gonna mention in a few paragraphs. Flying J provides 30% of all DEF consumed in the United States. UP has told Flying J to reduce their shipments by a whopping 50%. And if they do not comply then they will be completely embargoed. That would in effect bankrupt FJ. This means that 15% of all DEF consumed by truckers in the US is no longer available at the largest travel service center for the entire trucking industry. Rome rotted from the inside out. It was easily invaded because it was occupied with internal problems. It appears we have discovered the Trigger. DEF fluid. If this holds up, DEF shortages will be the catalyst that causes food shortages in the coming months. Not only is there a shortage of fertilizer to grow crops in drought-stricken states (See Kansas' drop in wheat production for 2022)....but....now it looks like, unless the Federal Government intervenes via the Defense Production Act, ...which I am no longer confident they will....there is gonna be an absolute massive shortage of trucking in the coming months. There simply isn't going to be DEF fluid sufficient to keep the engines running and moving. Home Depot is now limiting the amount of DEF you can buy in their stores. I would think long and hard about the decisions you are making right now. Where you live. What you spend money on. How you prepare. This is so real that the CEO of Flying J, Shameek Konar was summoned to a Surface Transportation Board hearing to give them all this info. From what I'm reading....Blackrock is the majority shareholder of Union Pacific railroad. How is that important? Americas biggest fertilizer producer is CF Industries. Their largest shareholder is Blackrock. Blackrock controls the fertilizer industry in the U.S.. Union Pacific has exclusive rights to distribution points of fertilizer. Urea is fertilizer. Flying J needs Urea/DEF. Blackrock is controlling everything. The Chairman of the BlackRock Investment Institute is Tom Donilon, President Obama’s former National Security Advisor. Tom Donilon’s brother, Mike Donilon is a Senior Advisor to Joe Biden. Tom Donilon’s wife, Catherine Russell, is the White House Personnel Director. Tom Donilon’s daughter, Sarah Donilon, who graduated college in 2019, now works on the White House National Security Council. It appears Blackrock is spearheading the dismantling of the US system on behalf of the Globalists. And the first domino they are pushing over is the energy sector. They are using DEF to get the party started.

  313. Oh wait.. Big Clive.. your watching Ray too.. cheers. Have a good day
    177
  314. I agree 100% that is a very very stupid design I've Never done anything that serious to those engines as of yet just spark plugs and general maintenance But out of all honesty there's a very high chance I would have made the same mistake
    176
  315. "Nice, easy, simple repair." The four most dangerous words in the professional mechanic's lexicon. LOL

  316. This rig's got a lot of life left! Go to Harbor Freight and grab 3 big C clamps to hold the steering gear in. Good as new.

  317. Just superglue that flap down, we both know the shop towel tape only lasts for a sweat or two lol.

  324. Also, I doubt that fitting was leaking when the other shop installed the radiator. The degraded condition of that connector leads me to believe that it let loose suddenly and catastrophically. GM used various plastic coolant nipples over the years. I've seen countless blown apart like that. I would have marked this up to an unfortunate coincidence.
    172
  325. hey Ray, it's just fine to feel a bit lost. after all, you just went through a s#!t storm. be generous to yourself and take time to feel "normal" again. the fact that you're producing content is greatly appreciated 😌 👏 🙌 ✨️ 🙏
    171
  326. Ray, YouTube has hundreds of auto repair channels to choose from. Why do I and so many others keep coming back for more of your videos? Yes, you are definitely knowledgeable at your craft but so are most of the others. The reason we keep coming back to you is because watching your videos is like visiting an old friend. Your humor, family values, and work ethic are so comforting. I am not a member and can't really afford to contribute (much as I would like to). That makes me truly appreciate those who can and do all the more. Anything that can help you continue providing your content is a win win in my book!! So, no need to apologize. Anyone who was offended, well, they can just move along. They won't be missed.
    171
  327. A track loader has tracks and a skid steer has wheels and you skid the tires to steer I worked in a rental place for 3 years and had to take a class

    171
  329. Conflict is inevitable but it's unfortunately rare to see folks discuss their differences and make a professional resolution. Good on you and DL!
    170
  330. Wow, congratulations. I put up a tire repair video a long time ago and it's my number one troll video. I think you'll quickly find after you get a few hundred thousand views as you usually do that 98% of those viewers are tire patch experts. You may not have known this... There's three things you never do on YouTube... Weld anything even if you are an expert, solder any type of wire, even if you are an expert, or patch a tire. You've broken every single rule....😐
    169
  331. Dude... that truck is in spectacular condition for a Canadian vehicle of that age. As we'd say "Geez bud, that's a beauty. Pretty much zero rust, eh?"
    168
  332. I guess the older 6.0 and 5.3s didn't break enough so they had to "redesign" them.
    167
  333. I died of laughter with the chicken in the opening. Glad to see you got your stuff setup sort of, whatever happens in the future I'm sure you will do well so I like many others look forward to it! Best of luck!
    167
  334. Ray , I have a suggestion for your ventilation Remove the sheet metal hood , retain the duct exiting the roof Install a inline duct fan on the duct exiting the roof so it blows out and install your fan in the boarded up window blowing into the shop You will gain a solid airflow exiting the building from the roof. You may need a second fan at the other end of the shop bringing air in to insure you don’t have a dead zone in the air exchange Ray you are the Man! You are moving things forward at light speed ! Keep it coming Sir!
    167
  335. Ray, you are 100% correct about showing someone the way to do something the right way. That is how people learn. Not by trial and error. This was my lesson to a flight instructor. He had me learning crosswind landings. One after another I did not get it. He said keep doing it, you will. Then I said "you do one. I want to see how you do it" I watched and I got it the 1st time after that. You can not let someone keep struggling to get it right when one demonstration gets it done.
    166
  336. I truly hoped you informed the customer about the severe rust condition. A safety issue where "not my problem" doesn't fly.
    166
  337. WHATTT???!!!?! IRL WALKING DEAD? Holy vice grips Ray you look way better DEAD than alive
    166
  338. It really is. I've been watching Ray's videos for a long time. Think I've seen pretty much all of them. It's great content.
    165
  339. I needed NGK spark plugs for my Honda, I'm so scared of Chinese fakes from Amazon, I paid $12 more and bought them directly from the manufacturer.
    165
  340. This channel has become my escape from reality and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for that ♥️
    165
  341. Hey brother, love your videos informative AND your funny. I DO have a question about the bumper sticker you saw. You said people have to have the balls to back that stuff up. I'm just very curious on your stance. 😃👍🏾thanks
    165
  342. Install a m6 x 1mm stud to full depth of your threads, and use stud retainer locking compound. Then secure the pump with an m6 x 1mm nut. The stud with locking compound will allow more clamping force than trying to use a bolt.
    164
  343. i bet even with out the camera , he still talks to him self :)
    163
  344. I look forward to conclusion of this incident! Hopefully resulting in the douchenozzle’s arrest! Glad you are safe.
    162
  345. 3 months ago, I wouldn’t have dared to try any body work, or repairs, it all just seemed overwhelming. After watching Ray, I started telling myself, “I can do that,” and the journey began, because of Ray, I totally refurbished my 1994 Chevy Silverado, and now she runs and looks beautiful. On my Nissan Altima 2014, I pulled the front bumper, replaced the grill that was damaged, painted and clear coated it, then put it back on, without losing any pins, screws, and bolts (none leftover). Now the front of the Altima looks brand new. My next project is to tackle my son’s front bumper. Thanks Ray for the confidence and the ton of money I saved by DYIing everything myself.
    162
  346. My wife noted "Ray can't be a real mechanic, because he doesn't doesn't swear and throw his tools across the workshop nearly often enough!". We both had a chuckle and then a small sigh and watched the rest of the video quietly.
    162
  347. You know you're getting old when you hurt yourself sleeping.
    162
  348. Ray. Thank you for your “ me” time I appreciate it
    162
  349. As a retired automotive engineer, I applaud your technique and knowledge. You clearly really understand how all these systems work and don't jump at the first thing that you find wrong and call it good. Keep doing what you are doing and inspire others to achieve the same level of excellence.

  352. Do you think the Toyota slit its own lines and bled out in an apparent suicide attempt in order not to have to live with an owner like that?.......... maybe I went a bit over board, but.... still.
    161
  353. The fact that you have now hired a helper tells me that your business is steadily headed up. Good job Ray.
    161
  354. @Falfox One If you're going to make a statement and then be unable to elaborate on it why are you even responding. My statement literally only says the price is justifiable because the customer brought it in, and the mechanic did what the owner could not. "That's why honest mechanics are broke". I think communication is beyond you.
    161
  355. I would think a guy who names himself 'Rainman' would work in the rain.
    160
  356. Ray, been watching your channel for maybe a month. Enjoy the content and appreciate your honesty and work ethic. Problem is your click has started to rub off when I’m working on machinery around my farm. Wife looked at me funny doing up some bolts on my tractor - “click” Greetings from Australia.
    159
  357. Id just like to say its nice to see your well thought out linear diagnostics approach . Especially on electrical work. I am a service/warranty rep for a Large Zero turn mower company. It amazes me how bad the thought process of most of the techs when they do diagnostic work especially electrical. It wont start. So they immediately go replace the starter. When there is multiple safety circuits on a mower which prevent it from starting. So thanks for sharing your skills and renewing my faith that there are mechanics out there that do it right.
    159

  360. You cannot possibly have any idea how much these videos have taught me. From having no idea what a crank bearing even looked like and wondering if I'd have to learn to pour babbitt to believing I might even be able to do a job like that myself even lying on my back under the car. You might call the videos long but they are worth every second. Thanks loads!
    158
  361. The "Dunning Kruger" effect. The less the new guy knows, the more of an expert they think they are. Simply because they don't know enough to realise how little they know yet. That's also why older techs get less confident in their own ability over time. There's a lot to be said for being young and naive. It makes life so much easier.
    158
  362. I know these old abused cars can be miserable to work on, but often they are the only thing between working and being out of work for someone less fortunate. Thanks for what you do. Good morning from Outville, Ohio!
    158
  363. Unless they are mom and pop shops just call corporate on Monday. As far as "labor force" these days, way too many are zombies going through the motions.
    157
  364. Dude, nice work. That was some serious diagnosing skill. I'm glad I sat through and saw your decision making.

  365. Ray's test Drives Old Clunker White Van I spent hours repairing: "Just around the parking lot will do, I'm ready to go home" Corvette: "Definitely a 30-minute test drive on the road, got to make sure it's fixed!"
    157
  366. Crime of the freaking century here. Thank God we've got detective kazama on the case. Throw him under the jail so I can rest easy at night. That was a close one...
    157
  367. Just found your channel last week. You're doing that which no man or woman wants to do. I retired in 2015 and I almost want to pick up the tools again after watching you work. Then I crack another beer and say F@*K THAT!!!
    155
  368. Reported fuel leak but I guess I will take it for a drive and see if it starts a fire.😂
    154
  369. No matter what the owner wants to do with this, I do hope we get an autopsy video of that engine, call it a public service video to show what happens when you hydrolock an engine
    153
  370. Hey Ray next time just look at the FT Pressure data PID if your wondering if the purge is stuck open. Free tip Friday 😉
    153
  371. You don't get into a Lotus, you put it on 😂
    152
  372. You are doing it the right way...getting fixed completely without breaking the bank and being done in a timely fashion...win-win. I would somehow before reassembly prop each end of the rear end up and douche the heck out of the axle tubes to flood whatever unwanted metal souvenirs out of the unit totally:-) As for the numbers going up on subs...it's all you Ray...good things come to those who wait...you've waited and the fruits of it are coming at you. Keep up the great work Ray!!!!
    152
  373. Good catch on the rear end fluid check I would have been more concerned and opened it up and check for carnage before it was even installed. Never trust anything to be good until you check it yourself just ask Alec Baldwin!!
    152
  374. I always use my specially formulated and calibrated blend of Nitrogen, oxygen and other various gasses at a comfortable 115psi. If it's taco truck Tuesday and Larry is near the compressor the formulation includes methane.
    152
  375. As a former parts delivery driver, I can attest that whether the part was ordered incorrectly or the supplier sent the wrong parts, it’s a royal pain in the butt.
    152
  376. I can’t thank Ray, his wife, and his staff enough for taking good care of my car! What a fantastic experience. Being able to trust a mechanic and have faith they have the knowledge is priceless. Also the great comments relating to my made me smile!!! My two girls are fighting over who will get it when I’m gone!!! Lol
    151
  377. If you post another ai thumbnail im gonna poop my pants and it will be your fault
    151
  378. That's a dewar. Holds refrigerated gas. Probably just venting due to being shaken, and pressure building, like when you shake 30lb R12 bottles to get the rest of the refrigerant out. No need to worry, except about asphyxiation.
    151
  379. Ray, just wanted to tell you how far into my head your channel has gotten. Had a dream last night and in the dream a phone rang, just like in the shop and my character immediately went ' Do dee do dee dooo'. Then I immediately said to myself, that was from Ray's YouTube channel, then I woke up. That is how far in my my head your channel has gotten. Thank you very 'bleeping' much. :)
    150
  380. On your intro, you should have used "RED THREAD LOCKER"...you could have scared the entire world of mech-aniks with that one move!!! LOL!!!
    150
  381. Ray is a full service technician! Nice to see you go that extra mile
    148
  382. Krispy Kreme Nathaniel here. The bolt on the inner liquid filled bushing of the control arm MUST be torqued while the suspension is under load. If torqued not under load, the orientation of the center of the bushing becomes captured such that when you lower the car, the bushing inside gets twisted. That significantly shortens the lifespan of the bushing.
    148
  383. Really, to change change a tire?? You’re a good soul Ray. Thank you for being so considerate to our Vets. My Dad who passed away in March was a WWII Vet battle of the bulge. I would everyone was as thoughtful as you.
    148
  384. "I just put new rotors on last week. You guys are trying to scam me!"
    147
  385. What little we have with Dave, He seems to be a good fit for your business. He reminds me of other Mechanics who have experienced repair service politics and is glad to have a chance to show his talents in your independant operation. I especially respect your demeanor when Dave pointed out to the "boss"(you) were missing the backing plate in your reconstruction. I like a boss who can accept constructive criticism and compliment his employees for small things and large. Dave knows that he can talk to you if he sees something wrong and I think he will help you to grow your business and reputation. Maybe I'm wrong, but today I got "first impression" and I liked what I saw!
    147
  386. They seem to be hitting every channel I subscribe to.
    147
  387. Thanks for the audible reminder that I have a dental appointment this morning!
    146
  388. Can't stand scammers. However. I am giving something away hint hint
    146
  389. A thing to always remember is a small leak can still be the problem especially on a fleet vehicle. You or I may notice a small leak and fix it right away but a driver of a company vehicle he doesn’t care about won’t notice the leak until it’s an issue like the radiator is empty and you or I would look for a large leak but in reality it’s a very small leak over time. Lots of guys forget this.
    146
  390. Okay, that belt scene had more suspense than most horror movies i've seen... i was on the edge of my seat for about twenty minutes straight, and trying to reach into my computer to give Ray an extra hand.
    146
  391. I don't always watch YouTube videos, but when I do, I watch Rainman Ray's Repairs.
    145
  392. Made of Steel and Bald Eagles! LOL! Thanks for the laugh, Ray. I really needed it.
    144
  393. It's always a struggle Ray - just remember you have an amazing wife Unit and family
    144
  394. Pretty interesting Ray. Also take a poke on All Data again cuz I believe that diagram you had was wrong. They don't run CAN on a single wire to the TPS on that car. It is just a standard 4 wire TPS system with a 5v, Sensor Ground and TWO signal wires. TPS 1 and TPS 2. They use it for redundancy. Just like they do in the APP sensors. Keeps the cars from running away like a Prius haha. As far as your rolling codes that was a weird one. Next time you get something doing abnormal things, hope into the generic OBDII side of your scan tool instead of the OEM. Especially with Snap-On. This way you know you're not getting any substituted data or values. At any rate, ya got it fixed and out the door AND you broke RULE # 2 on YouTube. NEVER UNDER ANY CURCUMSTANCE SHOW PEOPLE SOLDERING!! Come on man you're a smart man! They will eat you alive in the comments because besides being pro welders they are all pro solder ers. Take care man 👍 -Eric O.
    142
  395. this is why i have my own shop don’t have to put up with impatient people
    142
  396. Yeah man there’s no shame in that I work on vehicles like that all the time people think that because you take a video of it you’re shaming it. But they don’t understand that that’s what we work on daily and see and that’s what’s on the road next to them going down the highway and they don’t even fix the “real” issues at hand 😂
    142
  397. Listen Ray, I'm going to tell it to you how it is....I'm addicted to your videos brother lol. The content is great, filming is great, the commentary is amazing. HUGE thumbs up. Loving every minute of it. Keep up the great work!!!
    141
  398. Did we just nearly witness the moment the 10mm went missing?
    141
  399. You bounced back so quick. Good for you Ray.
    140
  400. I wonder if they caused a short during their attempts to get the sensor out.
    140
  401. What an awesome video. Building your own truck in your own shop, thats the dream right there.
    140
  402. I respect a man who stands up and makes it right. These days, many would have found a way to put it on the customer, you are an honorable man.
    139
  403. Ray, when you say, “…. super swamped…..” I hear, “lots of good content coming my way.” I’m looking forward to watching the painted grass dry.
    139
  404. Next time you drop the camera, pre-warn us. I didn’t have my safety harness on and almost fell out of my seat. 😂
    139
  405. Loved it Ray but you forgot to remove 1 lug nut off each wheel to balance the car, sorry to point out this failure as we know you take pride in the care of your customers. 😁
    139
  406. Love how every tool maker has a tool for those God forsaken clamps. But we still fight them with a trusty plier.
    139
  407. Thermostat works. Saw it open at 180 degrees via the temperature gauge. Rough cold start could be a bad dashpot on the carb. The starter seems to be drawing too much current judging by the intermittent behaviour so I think you are good with the replacement there. The lack of brake fluid leakage at any point in the brake system doesn't suggest bad master cylinders. I'm skeptical that that will fix your problem with fluid level. I'd be more likely to suspect dried out seals on the caliper pistons and slow leakage at those sites. I suspect that someone has hot wired the engine fans as a means of limiting the overheating. I agree with your one commenter on the timing being a potential cause of the overheating. The custom exhaust could also be an issue with engine temp. The carbs could also be running lean which can also cause overheating.
    139
  408. The Monday morning snark is strong in this one! Most enjoyable! :D
    138
  409. Just a hone in #8 for low compression? Was that before or after it was pulled out of the ocean?  It just needs a little WD40 and she'll fire up, orrrrr maybe a complete rebuild with oversized pistons. Great teardown ray! Thanks for the shoutout!
    138
  410. When I saw "car accident" .... I thought of course... he just worked on ANOTHER PT Cruiser.
    138
  411. Will people eventually learn that you do pre-purchase inspections and not post-purchase? Unless you have enough knowledge to determine the condition of the vehicle yourself (not necessarily do the work yourself) it should always be pre-purchase.
    137
  412. It wouldn't take so long if you didn't always do the job right. 😂👍💪
    137
  413. Wow my comment created some video content. I'm so happy. Edit: still pissed about being unsubed. Paying to support a channel to be basically told not to watch it is fucked up.
    137
  414. Oooooh our brave hero has gotten a Land Rover to repair. We are now officially in fancy man territory. Top hat jacket with tie and cane are required now. Pinky extended when sipping your tea Raymond, I say dignity and manners.
    137
  415. Sadly the "scams" happen both ways. There are dishonest shops that scam customers to get them to replace parts that didn't need replacing, or pay to replace parts they didn't actually replace. Then there's the scam the customers pull stating "my car's engine blew up just after you put new tires on it"
    136
  416. Congrats on 500,000!! Wife helped me with a door ajar switch and I caught her saying “clicks” when she plugged it back in!! We love your content RRR!!
    136
  417. The coating on the “purple, blue” fasteners is called “color chromate”. It’s available in various colors to meet production applications of the customer.. It offers excellent protection of the fastener. Another key benefit is the “lubricity” it offers in movement, friction and reduces thread galling potential during install and removal of the fastener. (I spent 25 years in the fastener biz).
    136
  418. I hope Ray realizes how many older folks watch his videos because they want to but can't work on vehicles anymore. When I read those comments from those folks it makes me realize how much a video from Ray really helps them. It's pretty amazing if you think about it.
    136
  419. If there was ever a vehicle that should be seized and burned by the DOT its thats pile of Shit! Woooow
    136
  420. As an experienced GM tech I will chime in and say, I have never done all that and the average OPS is around 15 minutes for us to do. The way YOU did it is by the book. So that being said you are doing it the right way and the way it is supposed to be done and I'm doing it the incorrect way. So if anyone gives you shit they can fuck off. We all have our ways we do things, so long as things are done right and not being damaged and you're not fucking yourself up then folks have no need to comment.
    135
  421. I’m new to your channel as I’ve discovered this channel a couple of weeks ago and really enjoy coming home from work and getting settled in and watching your content. Keep them coming.
    135
  422. You know that's a torque limiting extension he has on that impact right?
    135
  423. Well you proved it again Ray, the best tool in your toolbox is common sense BROTHER! 🧰👋🍻👍
    135
  424. So this is the secret spot all the cool kids hangout at before release.
    135
  425. Ray, I would like to see a video on the power steering line replacement. I also think you might need #7 as well. Looks like #6 and #7 go under that rubber mount.
    134
  426. Ray, I feel your pain on the last broken bolt. You did the right thing by stepping away to regroup yourself. Tomorrow will be a better day for critical thinking on removing that bolt and you in a better frame of mind. Thanks for showing us even when things fail. Great video pleaze keep doing them as I learn different methods of thinking.
    134
  427. Heck yeah dude!!! Starting your own operation can be scary, but I see the work you do, and I feel you'll be successful at it!
    134
  428. The Vibe was a collaboration project with GM to keep their California plant running. Toyota needed a plant in the West to make the Corolla and GM was shutting down NUMMI. The Vibe is a Toyota Matrix with GM badging. The Vibe production stopped with GM shut down Pontiac, and Toyota stopped making the Matrix a few years later. Tesla is now made where NUMMI was. That aside - I'm impressed that you cared enough to clean up like that. You do awesome work!
    134
  429. I've been a gm technician for 8 years. Replaced over 100 condensers, and 100s of lifters in these damn things.. agree with big money on trash. But that's job security. But the cut is completely normal in the side. It's made between the trans cooler upper section and the ac condenser lower section.. so it can expand separately. That cut does look like somebody's frst day on the job..lol
    133
  430. I think Ray should do a monthly "Special" video where he does a super clip of all the brake clean he sprays. I'll bet he can get 10 minutes per month of just spraying brake clean.
    133
  431. I like how he has an audience so someone can call the ambulance if SHTF.
    133
  432. Finally somebody gets it. This is exactly what ebay gun parts are meant to be used for.
    133
  433. I've seen a lot of people in the past make comments in ray's videos that they're not car people or mechanics and they still enjoy his videos. I've thought, hey, that's cool, good for Ray for being able to reach those people. But today, I find it a bit frustrating. I'm reading a number of comments that talk about how AC service valves aren't designed to hold a vacuum, they're designed to hold pressure. Even a diy'er like me with limited AC experience knows that's not true, and that automotive AC systems should be able to hold a vacuum. A system that can hold a vacuum could still leak when pressurized, but it's still a good way to check for leaks before pumping refrigerant in.
    133
  434.  @stevewhite3424  The lugnut wasn't stripped, it was cross threaded by an apprentice/trainee. You should pay attention and try to learn like the kid that screwed up.
    132
  435. This is such a delight! Textbook-perfect diagnostics. Even experienced mechanics easily miss this sort of issue. Hands-down, one of my favorite repair videos yet. Let us know when you get one whose check engine bulb has been disabled since the Civil War. By the time the owner feels the need to have it seen...every sensor is trashed, 75% of the vacuum lines are plugged with nails, idle air bypass is screwed down to 100 ft/lb of torque, and the fuse box is a spider web of jumpers and aluminum foil.
    131
  436. Thanks for saving us from the air filter Ray.. It really sucked in there.. 😆
    131
  437. Spending like a drunken sailor.
    131
  438. It scares me when I see blue paper towels in the intake ports and you put the intake on over it?! What happened? Is it for fun or did you forget to remove the towels?
    131
  439. Hey, I hope you and Lauren enjoy some much-needed time off, it's been a turbulent year for you. All the best from Ottawa, Canada.
    130
  440. With your honesty and integrity, whatever you do you will excel in it.
    130
  441.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  If her dad was that bothered why didn't he come with her in the first place. Some people are a joke.
    129
  442. Good day to you Ray from all your friends in the UK 🇬🇧😊 Glad you and yours survived the hurricane unscathed!
    129
  443. Hey Ray. If you are ever working on a GM and need to know if the module needs to be "programmed" and how to do it you can find it pretty quick in service data. Put in the usual Y/M/M or the VIN in service Info, then in the search look up "control module references." It will take you right to the entire list of all modules and their respective programing and set up procedures using TLC/SPS for GM or anything else that may be needed after the initial programming. Also if you look at the sticker on the module it has the little picture of the half car with a wrench under it I believe it is. That is the "requires programming" symbol 👍🏼 -Cheers Buddy!
    129
  444. Pay attention to what the National Hurrican Center in Miami FL. has to say, not nonsense Social Media.
    129
  445. Oh man, you really had me going there... When you applied your impact wrench, set to #3 position and cranked the crap out of that oil pan bolt, I nearly pooped my pants. LOL. Thanks for the afternoon adrenaline rush.
    129
  446. I'm surprised Ray hasn't trolled us harder with the blue towels left in the intake. He could stuff a couple in the exhaust pipe and show them flying out after the intake towel troll.
    129
  447. That passive aggressive torque wrenching on the already broken cam - love it 😂😂
    128
  448. I like that you’re taking the opportunity to visit the factory and see what they have done to address real issues about their products and customers.
    128
  449. "I am very, very...perturbed...right now." Level with us, Ray- how red-tinted was your vision at that moment? I've been there myself, and I'm guessing pure red light levels myself. I feel ya. 👍
    127
  450. "We're all here cause we're not all there." Best comment.
    127
  451. I’m starting to think started his own shop just to work on his truck
    126
  452. “Hi Daddy!” That would NEVER had happened if you never opened shop! Now your kids get to SEE that Dad works hard to provide for them!
    126
  453. If you're gonna drive an old beater like that, you should be able to DIY most of the repairs. Doesn't seem cost effective to pay somebody to keep it on the road. Seems there's always something going wrong with an older car like that.
    126
  454. Ya know, due to this video, I officially want to drive from TN to FL to get my oil change so I know its done good. Thanks for giving us all a look into how a shop does it right. One critique, pretty sure once you drain the oil and remove the filter, you're supposed to start the engine, rev to 2k RPM, for at least 10min to get the remaining oil out of the block. It's not mandatory but strongly recommended.
    126
  455. "This is going to be really easy" "This is going to be super easy" - Things I say right before the job becomes really super not easy
    126
  456. In reference to your colleague whom disagrees with your internuts activity, do you find that having an audience improves you as a mechanic? I find that teaching sometimes helps me understand my field better. Learning through teaching, so to speak.
    126
  457. What makes this series so enjoyable is the fact that you, Ray, are so human, and therefore, we can identify with you 100%. You slip; you fumble, you hurt yourself, and when you spill something, you say:"Oh sh¡t" just like the rest of us. Thank you so much for these videos..
    126
  458. my wife and i are going through the same thing, she was diagnosed in january with an extremely rare cancer (aggressive tumor in her hip). we have a 2014 caravan that i repair on my own as much as i can and ​​can fully appreciate everything you are doing for them, thank you for being a great human being and helping these folks
    125
  459. Thanks for being awesome with a PITA customer.
    125
  460. I wish whenever my car went in for any service, the technician would video the whole thing and proudly post it online. True transparency. Do your customers know they can see their repairs online? I'd suspect your shop's business would increase along with their trustworthyness. I also love that all your multi-part videos are ready all at once for a nice binge watch. 😁 Great job Ray.
    125
  461. You got to know when to hold em, know when to fold en, know when to run lol.
    125
  462. It has a vanos problem... Ah, a fully functional BMW.
    125
  463. "I should have been an astronaut." Same, Ray .. Same.
    124
  464. I’m a Honda stealership technician, so I do automotive work just like this every day. I don’t understand how I can come home after a long day of work just like this and then watch your vids. I guess that’s how good you and your vids are. Much love to all my honest tech brethren.
    124
  465. You da guy who stripped this lug or have you ruined so many you are an expert at repairing it??
    124
  466. Good troll there "Gene Yus", take your car wherever you want, shim whatever you want, but Ray does professional work. Shimming it would be hacky work, thats not a proper repair for the issue present.
    124
  467. Don't underestimate the advantage of having a team of office workers dealing with all the work and material procurement. When I went out on my own I found dealing with "people" and paperwork a chore. I ended up just freelancing to companies so I got a good variety of work and didn't have to chase money. In short - technical people are the worst businessmen. But if your good lady was dealing with the paperwork side that would be a different matter.
    123
  468. You know your battery terminal servicing skills are legendary don’t you ?
    123
  469. I liked the step by step, walk through. It shows what is really needed to solve an electrical problem. Showing the fuse blowing, was interesting. Those leads melting should have caused no damage. It burned way to quick. Car wires are a lot heavier than that. But this is a little lesson. Don't buy cheap tools that are not fused for the gauged wire used for leads, unless you want to fry it. Not a bust on Ray, the tool was there and it could have fried almost anytime. Meaning, you think this would be the only time you look for a dead short? See the whole video was a learning experience. See ya tomorrow. Ray.
    123
  470. Morning coffee and a new Rainman Ray video. Hell yes 💪☕
    122
  471. Do you really get grief about doing oil change videos? Personally, I enjoy and appreciate all of your videos. Informative and entertaining. Thank you.
    122
  472. Hey Ray. You can use the min/max button on your Fluke meter to record reading if you can't see your meter. Very handy feature when fault finding. I use mine regularly as an industrial electrician. Have a good day from Australia 🇦🇺
    122
  473. Start a new tradition -- spray paint the name of the hurricane on the panels each time you put them up. It gives you a chance to walk down Memory Lane and reminisce about all of your storm life together, and it makes it easier to line up the panels each time you add to them :) Be safe!
    122
  474. Don't let the disrespect of a few outshine the respect of the many. I view these videos because it's the only place where first thing n the morning, someone tells me to, "Don't forget to have yourself, a great day . . ." So right back at you, Ray . . .
    122
  475. I get laughs for this line; "How much longer? What do you think this Jiffy Lube? Well how much longer? About a Jiffy."
    122
  476. Great points ! I was a tire buster, LOF, alignment guy when I first started. It sucked I would go home tired (pun) and dirty just to wake and do it again. Then I learned that the company would pay for training ! So I took full advantage and got my ASE Master and 100% GM tech college, that must have cost the dealership a lot of money. When I was down to only being able to take classes when available I was at $37.50 PFRH I was the go to guy and got all the headache jobs. They would never let me touch the gravy work, if they did I would do it with a smile. After all they paid $ to get me to that pay rate. It's a double edged sword. BTW there is a reason there are very few techs over 55 any more. Nobody wants to do the job anymore, because of the very things you pointed out and they got out. I wish we were paid like doctors, missed appointments = $ or I spend 15min and charge $590. But I digress. If I could still do the job I'd go back in a heartbeat, I gave up a $10,000 sign on because my body gave out. The back neck and shoulders go first after 25 years and I'm only 48. Perspective is everything Ray have yourself a great day ! Thanks for reading.
    121
  477. That scan tool is so old it doesn’t use satellites it uses the telegraph! Lol 😂 ✌️
    121
  478. Turns out this is actually how they are supposed to be, this is how they all ship. This is how they isolate the AC condenser section from the transmission cooler section. A factory budge to fix a design flaw that causes excessive heat to transfer from one cooler to the other.
    121
  479. As a retired wrench, there are times I miss the shop Thanks Ray for bridging the gap a bit for me. It's good to hang with you and stay up on the newer stuff. Like your attitude, keep up the good works!
    121
  480. Farmer is plowing his field. He’s using a horse to pull the plow. When they got to the end of the row, he turned the rig around and the horse dropped dead. Walked up to the stricken steed and said, “Hmm, she ain’t never done that before.”
    121
  481. I’m doing the same ray! I left the crappy dealership after 12 years, 15 if you count the internship, I wanted to take the leap to go out on my own. I’ve been running my exotic car service out of my own garage but I’m getting too many customers now and am looking for the same thing man. Big step. Your super talented and you can do this bro.
    120
  482. 2.5 hours for the pump, 2.5 hours to figure out the belt routing = 5 hours for the job! Another fun and informative video, thanks!
    120
  483. Glad to see your shop made it through the storm!
    119
  484. That refrigerant sniffer sounds like a Galaga arcade game.
    119
  485. This reminds me of when I was doing a brake job on my daughter's car with my son in law and grandson. Whoever had put new tires on the car must have used a 3/4 " drive impact full force to put the wheels back on. I used a 4 way with a cheater bar and a jack stand to keep the 4 way level with the lug nut. I sprayed the lug nuts with blaster, let that set for awhile, and stood on the 4 way with s cheater bar with my 320lbs and bounced on it until they finally broke loose. Getting the wheels off took longer than the brake job. Unbelieveable laziness on the part of the guy that put the wheels on. If they had a flat on the side of the road, they'd never have been able to change tires.

  486. As an Oreilly’s employee, it makes me happy that you actually get the quality stuff and that you’re using our products! I work commercial and there is so many shops that just buy the cheapest stuff around the area or ask for a even lower price for the parts but they won’t pass the discount to the customer lol. Also! Yes that orange part on the pad is the extra break in that import direct adds!

  487. Licensed optician in florida here. Gotta get some UNCOATED safety glasses for work, transitions are okay because they're not a coating. But oils/grease are going to destroy the antiglare on your lenses in record time and you won't enjoy using them at all. Peeling antiglare = can't see anything through the lenses anymore. Love your stuff Ray! Keep those glasses maintained, they look awesome.
    117
  488. You’re a brave man showing your welding on YouTube! So many experts on here!
    116
  489. Excellent news about the shop being all in 1 piece. Even better that the family are all safe too.. spot on mate 😊👍
    116
  490. swear to god quite a bunch of these new vehicles cant even last a year or two, keep up the good work and keep em vids comin.
    116
  491. Hey DAD, you don't run the furnace with the doors open, your not payin' to heat the whole neighborhood.
    116
  492. Just as the “ Gold Rule “ implies treat everyone as you want to be treated Ray. If everyone would practice what you stated. Great job of editing. You are getting real good. I appreciate you taking the time to provide us with interesting content. I am 70 years old and love my cars. I come from a long line of shade tree mechanics. I remember Saturday s people from miles away would bring there cars to be fixed. He worked under that Big old Oak tree. Parts were expensive back then but my Dad made them work. Great memories. By the way Happy Father’s Day!
    116
  493. So glad to see that you and your family (and the chickens) are OK. Material things can be replaced or repaired. I really loved that you put your flag out! I like the idea of using the truck to power the inverter, thus saving gas for the generator. Ray, I really like your coverage of the storm- it seems to hit closer to home when it involves someone you sorta know. Feel free to post as many vids as possible about getting back to normal!
    116
  494. I really like that you diagnose and source parts rather than throw the parts bomb at it like so many others do. You are a credit to your trade Ray, Subs today is 299k, next stop 1 million subs!
    116
  495. A hobby mechanic checks everything multiple times and confirmes if it really works. maybe it just wasn't pushed in all the way. That mistake was made in a hurry in a shop. Shit happens.
    115
  496. As again Ray shows that he is the humble tech and will take time to thank everyone that gives some help to him. Humble tech, husband and father.
    115
  497. When you said, "Oh this is gonna be easy...." you just knew something would go wrong. Great video to show people that when your Mechanic tells you he found a new problem, he's probably telling the truth.
    115
  498. This week on “Just Rolled In” 😂
    114
  499. As I am sure you know Ray, using a customer supplied part is a bad thing to do because, if you get it all apart and the part does not fit, or it is a bad part (which is happening a lot these days) then you have to put it all back together and the customer will not want to pay anything for the labor because nothing was fixed. If it is a good part and it does fit but it goes out 3 months from now, the customer will blame you and want it fixed for free even though you told them there is no warranty on this repair. All this makes both you and the customer angry so many shops do not allow this to happen for these reasons. It is like a customer goes into a restaurant and hands the waitress 2 eggs and some bacon and says he wants this cooked but, he is not paying the $5 for the breakfast special, then refuses to pay because the eggs were bad.
    114
  500. The video was the Classic Rainman that I started watching for. Excellent, precise diagnosis with a minimum of cast about diagnosis, ignoring the codes that don’t fix the customer’s presenting problem, but making sure that critical secondary problems are addressed, so the customer is not forced to return for more visits or worse, give up on the vehicle. This was the Rainman at his best.
    114
  501. I love how you describe things. For example, "linear impact device," as an alternative to hammer. It's what makes you, you. I get accused of the same thing. I have also chosen to speak in complete sentences and intelligently to differentiate myself from the herd.
    113
  502. Great news Ray. Thank you and your Mrs for the updates
    113
  503. From someone who has done this: First things first Ray, before you start your own business, make sure your wife and family are all as committed as you are to this! Then get yourself a good business attorney and an accountant familiar with the automotive repair business. Then start talking to people who own and operate small businesses in the automotive field about what they went through when they first branched out on their own, i.e, what worked and what didn't work. Remember that the only thing that will trump your reputation as an automotive technician is location, location, location and a facility with good curb appeal. Also connect with a good and creative graphic design artist who can think outside the box, to help you with a business name, catchy graphics, business cards, flyers and signs. Develop two-way relationships with the vendors you will use, gas stations, and other repair shops. Be careful at the beginning, don't take on more than you alone can comfortably handle, either in debt, or the amount of work you will have to do. Being an owner and proprietor of a small business is much different than being an employee! I feel from your videos that you will do well. Also, make videos of everything while you get a personal business up and running smoothly. So many people will benefit from these business start-up videos. Good Luck!!
    113
  504. My son and I were changing oil yesterday on two of our cars and he says I am watching too much of you. This was because I whipped the empty brake clean can across the floor and yelled another. However, it worked he quickly fetched me another can. Love your videos Ray. I use to be an aircraft mechanic but I have learned so much watching your videos.
    112
  505. I just spent 20 minutes watching Ray change a battery, and I don't feel like I wasted 20 minutes.
    112
  506. Keyboard experts: If you need to nit-pick a helpful video on YT then make your own. Ray's is doing a great job of sharing what it's like to be a commercial mechanic.
    112
  507. "This People"? If your grammar was more gooder eye'd listener to he.
    111
  508. Audio sounds great Ray. Pre Purchase inspections. Please folks, pay your mechanic a $100 for a check before you trust any dealership.
    111
  509. Can’t wait for the full length version👍
    111
  510. People are suspect of mechanics for the following reason: One bad experience with a truly malicious mechanic spreads. For every 10 good interactions there is that one guy....and no one ever tells a story if the ending is happy. This combined with the fact that most people don't understand ANYTHING about how a car works combines into the perfect scenario for distrust. Lack of understanding breeds fear, fear makes you believe anything you hear, what you hear about mechanics is only the bad interactions....not the thousand of good ones. It's the exact same phenomenon that perpetuates any stereotype. It's unfortunate but channels like this can slowly swing the tide as they provide an inside look at your perspective.
    111
  511. Absolutely phenomenal diagnosis, videoing, verbal description, adapting the old connector to the fan, all for repair repair, and with the added touch of the loss and recovery of the 10 mm socket. Thanks, as always for the terrific video.
    111
  512. Hi Ray, I had an issue with a leak in my Honda Civic 2002 that would slowly empty the system after one week of filling it up. I replaced the condenser, receiver dryer and all o-rings several times. Multiple repair shops filled it up six or more times with refrigerant but the leak was still there. The last repair shop even tried leak detection with nitrogen. After almost one year I finally found the leak in the pressure switch which was leaking through the electronics part (plug). I have put a video with images on youtube where the dye is clearly visible inside the pressure sensor plug. The accord has the same pressure switch, might be a similar issue.
    111
  513. Congratulations to Juan for passing his motorcycle safety course and getting his endorsement. Nothing to it but to do it! Be safe Blessings
    111
  514. Appreciated the discussion of lift safety. In a previous life I was the technology education supervisor for a high school in a large northern school district. The lessons on lift safety were constant. I also insisted on complying with the yearly inspection of the lift used in the shop. The lift was initially shut down for a week because it needed repairs immediately. The school principal was incensed that money had to be spent on completely "unnecessary" repairs. The shop teacher was so happy as he had complained of the lift for years. Another problem were the students who just couldn't absorb how dangerous the lift could be when it was not used correctly.
    111
  515. Um that's why you don't start a lug nut with an air gun. He must have been watching to many pit stops from racing. We all were green once. The best mechanics have made the most mistakes by blowing up, shorting out, loosing tools, or however.
    111
  516. Many content creators not putting out much during the winter holidays. But you are big contributor! The cable tv cutters like me depend on people like you.

  518. "If you get the angle right, the length doesn't really matter." Pure gold Ray.
    110
  519. Oil should never be judged by the fingerprint method. Only by taste and aroma.
    110
  520. In my opinion, the fact that you have video proof of no negligence makes a big difference. You can show the customer what happened, and let him or her make the decision of whether to replace or not. If it was broken because of negligence, then I'd expect it to be replaced free of charge.
    110
  521. Ray, it did not take you long to make the shop appear to be well lived in. Tools every where, as it should be.
    109
  522. My guess…Ray’s trolling again. lol
    108
  523. Then as a Libertarian, you should know that we have the Right to make comments that you don't like.

  524. On your meter touch the leads together (and hold them together) then push the "relative delta" button and that will zero it out. It stores existing reading (a delta) and resets display to zero. Sets a relative reference point to measure against the next reading. It is the "REL Δ" button 👍🏼

  528. Your lovey Wife comes across the most supportive and sweetest wife possible.your very lucky Ray.
    107
  529. All right, you got me. When I saw you loading up the oil filter with all that stuff I was like "WTF". Then I realized it's a joke. Nice.
    107
  530. I absolutely do not understand a post purchase inspection. A pre purchase inspection makes way more sense to me.
    107
  531. Dude, it sucked to watch this today. Hope everything works out for you and hopefully we get to see you working your own shop!
    107
  532. You're quite engaging in your presence And presentation Ray, never boring. Your channel is now in our top ten. Glad to see your shop progress thru these past weeks.
    107
  533. I like it that you said the A/C system removes heat. There are still people who think cold is made by the system and displace the heat. Heat is removed leaving cold.
    107
  534. Look at it this way Ray, you learned something at the same time you taught others with this video. An hour of education of any kind that makes you better and helps others is never time wasted. The diagnostic process is always changing. Like the old saying goes, "Evolve or die"
    106
  535. People who have a problem with this been called out .Need to be part of the solution ,instead of part of the problem . Theft is theft !

  536. Electronic technician here - mind if I give ya' a soldering tip? When you go to solder a connection, place the tip of the iron under the connection to heat it up (it helps to apply a little solder to the tip first); then push the solder in from the top so it flows into the connection. That way you won't be just pushing the solder onto the connection.
    106
  537. Ray says it has 2000 miles on it and I'm like wow this guy rides a lot.... I forgot in the land of sunshine they get to ride 11.5 months out of the year... A guy here can put 2000 miles on his snowmobile in a weekend 😂 Hey Ray, the people say we need to do a livestream together. What do ya think? You game sometime?
    106
  538. Nothing but respect. You can tell you're becoming a master of your trade. The hardest part for any Tradesmen is to know when to walk away.

  546. Boy did you open a can of worms lol, all welders are different and the materials you're working with, your technique looks good just adjust the amps and wire speed that works with the material your using it will change everytime! Thanks for the awesome videos and its nice to see a humble professional for a change, keep up the great work brother!
    104
  547. Wow! $1,600 for 10 lb refrigerant? At that cost we may be heading back to rolling down the windows and driving faster.😊
    103
  548. 👍🏻 hopefully your work ethic and morals rubbed off on the next generation.
    103
  549.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  I'm surprised he did not bring his own 1-cup measuring cup to ensure you get 1/2 quart. After all 2 cups = 1 quart. It's almost like he provided a partial bottle to see if you passed the test. LOL The sad thing about it, is that with his nit--picking, he's actually doing himself a major disservice by preventing you from fixing his car correctly. The results of his negligence could result in more expensive repairs in the future, or even bodily harm to himself or others. The irony is that it's obvious he wasn't taking that great of care of his car.
    103
  550. I would have liked to see what popped up on a Carfax report of this car. How many people have owned this jewel ?
    103
  551. Ray you can fix cars , but you can't fix customer's stupidity ! Always something to complain about , Btw great job 👍
    103
  552. A little humility and grace goes a long way. Thanks for reminding us of that, Ray.
    103
  553. No dying. Your wife and kids need you. We need you too but we are last. I’d say those with vehicles in your shop are before us viewers. Keep up the great work .!!

  555. Well Ray, I never comment, but want to now. I'm in New Zealand, only known about your channel since Watch Wes Work mentioned you a while back. Now, you and Wes are my favourite channels out of the 60 odd I subscribe to. Your quality of workmanship, your intelligence, and your gift of the gab, make for a very interesting watch each video. I look forward to each of your videos, and to be honest YouTube wouldn't be the same without you. No matter what you pursue, you will succeed, and make it interesting to us, that's for sure. Myself, and 300,000 others will be by your side. Take a break, enjoy life, then come back to provide us with the fine entertainment (and teaching) that you do so naturally. Thank You Sir, and I wish you the very best with your choices!
    101
  556. Ray... it's good to see you guys made it. My grandparents lost everything during Andrew down in homestead. Glad the kids have good spirit.
    101
  557. Love the permatex extreme ceramic brake parts lubricant, and new hardware is a must for me. Good job mr Ray! People don't realize they should do a brake fluid exchange every two years. They pay tons of money for a car, but don't want to do any preventative maintenance. REEE!
    101
  558. Your initial problem was caused when you tested the solenoid and left it in the closed position. Then you forced the lever onto the open position as you were installing it. The solenoid comes in the open position as you have to have to door open to install it. When you forced the door down, you in effect pushed the lever back into the closed position. This is similar to 4x4 transfer case actuators that also come pre set to a position. Nice video.
    101
  559. "Victory!" ... immediatly loses it on top of toolbox :D
    101
  560. Got to admit, my heart skipped a beat at the beginning Ray! God bless you and your family and keep up the good work... :)
    100
  561. How many accidents have happened due to this problem and vehicle owners not knowing? Unbelievable! Good thing you detected the problem and warned the owner.
    100
  562. As someone who does this service on a daily basis I just have to say removing the pan is usually a messy affair
    100
  563. Thank you for going through the extra effort of filming this while you are working!
    100
  564. I guess a lot of people would rather buy that extra beer then change there oil .

  565. What a pro....I wish every mechanic were this diligent and honest
    99
  566. Ray doing what I get called out for all of the time while training new techs. "Ok, raise the truck and get a sample. Move, let me push the button, give me that wrench, give me that cup, etc. Why are you just standing there"? 😂 Thanks for putting up with us, young fellas.
    99
  567. I assume you will be the mechanic working on their fleet? Since you will be getting more of these vehicles in the future, maybe it might be a good idea for your shop to invest in one heavy duty lift that can handle the weight of all the equipment in the back of these vans.. but I doubt they'll go for it cuz you'll find a way to get the job done anyway.
    99
  568. 5:36 - Radiation detector. They used tomake thoriated steel, and you cant recycle it, so if that goes off, your load is rejected.
    98
  569. Warning, warning, warning..... You have overfilled the final drives. The center plug is the oil level indicator and should be left undone when refilling. The fill plug hole is best rotated slightly off TDC when refilling. Otherwise the refilling oil flows straight down and comes out of the level plug before the final drive is at the correct fill level. It's a good idea to replace that final drive oil at every engine oil change.
    98
  570. This is the first time I heard the term "Lizard Lotion." It will now be my go-to phrase in place of snake oil. Thanks for the chuckle!
    98
  571. 2002 Duramax here. My AC also under-performs at idle sometimes. I just thought maybe 18 years of hauling loads will do that, but looks like I just need to open a case with GM! (Maybe now's the time to take advantage of that extended warranty that nice lady is always calling me about...)
    98
  572. The best part of your channel Ray is that your customers can watch your videos and know exactly the things you did to their vehicle so they know you are a trustworthy mechanic.
    98
  573. Don't take the comments about stealing someone's one liner too serious. I would say yes, Eric O, Erik the Car Guy, Chris Fix, and many others are some of the originators of YouTube auto repair videos, however, you have made your own channel that is unique to them. There is a reason you have grown so quickly. You are doing a great job not only with the videos but the commentary. Keep up the great work and don't let anyone here in the comments get you down.
    98
  574. Can you Ray stop using AI generator for a thumbnail. I miss your creativity what you do with those thumbnails.
    97
  575. Ray living dangerously today, peeling gunk and unscrewing bolts over an open gas tank. 😂
    97
  576. The real question....Did you remember to take your thermometer out of the AC vent?
    97
  577. It's truly amazing that you work a full time job (Im assuming anyway) and still put out 20 min - 1 hour videos DAILY. You absolutely deserve the influx of subs you have been getting and then some- Keep it up, Love your videos!
    97
  578. "Tool" recommendation: Hemostats. I liberated some from my wife who's in the medical field. You can get them at various sizes. Hooked or straight noses. They serve the dual purpose of getting into tight spaces where a needle nose can't and also lock onto an object without having to keep pinching the handles. An absolute must for "rocket surgery".
    97
  579. Hey Ray, not a criticism, just good-hearted trivia: us "metric thinkers" calculate how many liters of fuel a vehicle consumes for every 100 km of distance driven. Not how many kilometres it does per a liter of fuel. Great content! Edit: personal example - my car consumes about 15l/100 km, and at a 60l fuel tank capacity, I know I can manage an average of 400km before I have to fill up each time 😊
    97
  580. Hopefully it was just a case of wrong place wrong time, and potentially you get people who know how to help you out the next time, good mechanics go way under appreciated nowadays
    96
  581. Nice repair! Also I feel like Peter is slowly becoming a second character on the channel. Your breif interactions are great.
    96
  582.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾Convictions much!😁👍🏾I understand you and agree. I see your point of view and again, I agree. You and I are for the most part aligned (haha used a car word). More and more people like you and I teach the younger generation and maybe we can move the chip forward to a positive place. We have WAAAAAY to many peoples/cultures/nationalities in this GREAT country to NOT find common ground and get along. I love the warm fuzzies I get when I'm helping someone I don't know just because mom said I should always help others and dad said be strong and always support those that need it. BTW keep them coming! Videos I mean, customer states.....😁🤣👍🏾💪🏾💪🏾

  583. Customer: "Hello, Ray...my car was in a lot of water and rain recently." Ray: "Hmm...yes....I know of this water. My yard was turned into a lake front property during the recent hurricane."

  584. Drunk? early in the morning? or I was wrong about the time? Be carefully, we need you in good health. Yes, got the police involved, Drunk customer could be dangerous to your health.
    95
  585. Yay for Ray! You deserve to work to your own level of excellence.. not someone else’s ! Congrats
    95
  586. Hey I totally understand where you coming from and I commend you for being an awesome person and admitting it. I've run into some mechanics that literally screwed me in past. Your a great human being and very entertaining
    95
  587. "This might be the heaviest load I've ever taken in my dump". ... Don't be saying that in certain areas of public! 🤣🤣🤣

  588. During that 5 minutes Ray took to collect his thoughts, sounds of a skull impacting drywall and screaming, followed by sobbing could be heard from the shop bathroom.
    95
  589. As a former victim of a scammer, I applaud your technique for wasting their time. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
    95
  590. I’m hearing the same comment from Ray “stay tuned this is going to be a very good video”. Well, he’s right, it is! The general knowledge and understanding of the vehicles he fixes is tremendous. They don’t come much better than Ray here!
    95
  591. Thats your choice ray. I will keep mine high above that .
    94
  592. I always like to see the test drive afterwards. It is satisfying to watch you verify that the repair is good. Don't shortchange us ray! 😂
    94
  593. I have no idea why I like watching all these videos by this dude lol. He’s a good mechanic that takes pride in his work. Hard to find these days.
    94
  594. Once you see more than 6 notches on on the timing chain tensioner it's done - once it hits 8 notches it's really done
    94
  595. My uncle once brought his car to my brother, a master mechanic, with air conditioning issues. After looking at it, my brother told him the job would be a complete system replacement because the compressor had shed many metal fragments from the inside when it gave up. My uncle was unhappy with the estimate and took his car to another shop for a second opinion. The other shop said compressor replacement and recharge system only. Of course, that price was much more appealing, so he had the other shop do the job. Not even a week later, the brand-new compressor seized up and quit too, because it was full of the metal shavings from the previous compressor. Oopsy! And for some reason, my uncle was angry with my brother. Moral of the story? When a family member and a master mechanic tells you what the job is, believe them.
    94
  596. 4 o'clock in the morning and I'm watching you play with someone's rear end. Life is good
    93
  597. Ray, as an Engineer who collaborates with Production and other departments, I can give at least some answer to the question you posed at the beginning of the video about the plastic fasteners. Production, at least where I work, hates the one piece plastic fasteners. This is because (in our assembly line setup) the greater force needed to install them all shift long has led to worker soreness and occasionally repetitive motion injuries. Our Service department also doesn’t like them because the ribs can get mangled during removal and then they need to be replaced. I don’t care for the two piece fasteners with the screw-type center piece for exactly the reasons you stated. The styles with the center part that pushes straight in to lock the fastener and pulls most of the way straight out to unlock are easier to remove and (as you know) just as easy to install as the ones with the screw center. Thank you for pointing out the “bean counter problem” that we have to so often deal with. I’ve experienced frustration numerous times because I was told that I “had to take cost out” of a design that I thought was going to be great, and things like reliability and serviceability suffered as a result.
    93
  598. And when you first showed your dash, you were driving 66 MPH. You had 2/3 of a tank of fuel, which is 66.66% full.
    93
  599. If you ever have an issue with a stuck wheel and cant move the car: push a shovel under it. Metal on asphalt/pavement slides relative easily and you can use the shovel handle to stir a bit.

  600. The long format videos are making my day! Thank you Ray! 🍻

  601. I helped my son put a motor in his canamx3 and was saying CLICK after each bolt he asked me dad why are you doing that I just laughed THANK YOU RAY💯🇺🇸🔥✌✌

  602. When he grabs a jack stand for “ safety “ , I automatically thought “ it’s Florida , so must for self defense of some sort “
    93
  603. WELD IT UP AND SEND IT
    92
  604. That's the way they come now. That cut is supposed to be there.
    92
  605. In Michigan we would call that a snow plow!
    92
  606. Welcome back Ray. Hope your feeling way better. You were sorely missed. Just take it slow and easy. 👍👍
    92
  607. This is the Ray I subscribed to when he had 70k subscribers. These are great videos
    92
  608. Ray , you're a good man with a big heart .
    92
  609. People need to stop trolling a great kind unbelievable mechanic I am sure Ray don’t have time for people that have nothing better to do in their lives Glad you are all safe
    92
  610. Exceptional job in diagnosing the problem and resolving it, even if it take quite a bit of time. Seems the supply chains problems seem to be getting worse everywhere. But glad to see that, after a month, you could get that entire interior back together. Fantastic work, as always!
    91
  611. Is there some unwritten rule/law that states all car dealerships and repair shops have to have the same odd sounding phone systems? I don't think I have ever heard that ring tone any where else.
    91
  612. Always tricky when another shop gets involved, taking what the customer says with a "grain of salt" as too what they were told. I agree with another comment below, looks like that Yoda has been in some water or they like to go off roading, regardless a simple brake service is all that is needed. My main issue is with the other shop saying it needs front calipers. CLASSIC FLAT RATE issue again. If they would have sold that job they would have knowingly done it without a conscious which is total bullshit and continues to give our industry a bad wrap. Good job Ray.
    91
  613. So, they're trying to convince him that their injectors aren't bad, so he should wait for them after ordering the others, then install them in someone else's truck, which he'll likely never see for injectors again? On top of not knowing how they'll perform? I think the best best would be to test them in his own vehicle, one that he can monitor everyday, and one that if they fail, it's not leaving some customer stranded and having to pay for the repairs to replace them. Or worse, someone else having to pay (Ray via warranty) to replace them again. I think it's the most appropriate thing to test on yourself first.
    91
  614. Good to hear you are voting, regardless of how you vote. Everyone should use their right to vote. As for the hurricane, I'm over here in Delray about 8 miles from the coast and I'm not too worried about it.
    90
  615. "you fixed it, now it's broken" are always the best ones
    90
  616. You can measure the pulsing with your meter (Fluke 88V) by pressing the "Hz %" key to put it in to Frequency Measuring mode, and then pressing the "AutoHOLD" key to start/stop the measurements.
    90
  617. Seriously didn't think you were gonna get that rear snapped off bolt out without removing the head... killer job!
    90
  618. old shop loses a good mechanic, and good mechanic brings his YouTube customers with him... bonus!! Well done Ray!
    90
  619. That $30k estimate was 100% the "go away, not interested" price.
    89
  620. Eric O is just sitting back chuckling, "Ray went and put up a welding video . . . he's gonna catch it in the comments!"
    89
  621. Hot damn didn't expect to see Clive on this side of YouTube lol. Love watching you make things go 'pop'. Letting people with more experience in the field diagnose issues can be very helpful for your pocketbook in the long run. You don't have to fix everything immediately but you should be aware so you can extend the life of your vehicle. $500 in parts plus labour is better than 8k for a new used vehicle
    89
  622. Many decades ago in the late 60's we had a bloke (guy) supply his own complete used long motor to replace the existing motor in his clapped out 1956 FC Holden station wagon (Australian car). He was a very pushy and arrogant bloke, gave us all a hard time, insisted the second hand motor was in "really good nick" so the boss caved in and booked the job in on the condition none of the work would be guaranteed. A filthy dirty motor (they were a straight six and called "grey" motors) arrived on a trailer so we cleaned it up and threw it in. Fired it up and it had more blowby and rattles than a 1920's steam engine. Parked it outside, the owner picked it up at 6pm closing time, paid the bill and drove away. He came back furious the next day but the boss pointed to his signature on the guarantee waiver form. After ten minutes of screaming profanity he stormed off in a fury and we never saw him again. That was the first and last time we ever accepted customer supplied parts.
    89
  623. I’ve been in IT for close to 10 years. It never ceases to amaze me how many times I’ve been told that it was “working before you touched it.” If I had a dime for every time I’ve been accused I’d be a rich man.
    89
  624. to all US viewers, Ray, family, staff and friends . I hope you all have a great Thanksgiving
    89
  625. No Peta, No Doodly Doodly Do's. Oh well.
    88
  626. I admire your positive and good nature during the entire process, never loose that. I wish i had that, I would have been done after the wheel well liner
    88
  627. Stay safe Ray and wife Unit be Careful 🧐
    88
  628. Hey Ray, great to see your new path working out, a seriously talented guy like you and your family deserve every success. Just make sure to take time for yourself and family too. Don't burn yourself out. Have yourself a great day
    88
  629. Its amazing it still ran with all of that internal cannibalism goin on in there. Massive carnage!
    87
  630. Intro is impressive. And the credits are brilliant
    87
  631. You have more self control than I do. Then again, you’ve got more to lose, and family you’re responsible for. If there’s any justice in this world, you’ll be able to ID this jackwagon, teach him a bit of decency, and keep us updated on it 👍
    87
  632. The CV joint will respray the control arm to match the rest of the underside if you wait long enough. 😊
    87
  633. Hi Ray! I did the same battery setup for our off-grid RV trailer, but used two 6V deep cycle batteries in series. Your going to need ventilation in that box, both for heat and for the off-gassing of the batteries. Ideally, you would want the batteries firewalled from the inverters.
    87
  634. Ray, to us ardent RRR subscribers, it doesn't matter who own's the vehicle as long as we all get to hang out on an otherwise dead and dreary Sunday night. Who knows, we all might learn something new and useful and there's no harm in that
    87
  635. I was trained on an AMMCO back in the 80's in high school while working at full service gas station. That runout sound sure brings back some memories, I can can almost taste the rusted iron filings.🤘
    87
  636. Babies shouldn't be the only ones to enjoy the magical cleaning power of a silky smooth Wet Wipe
    87
  637. My comment on the last video would have been that you should have offered the customer the offer from the company. But you said you will take the offer for one of your own truck for replacement injectors.
    87
  638. The problem is clearly seen at 3:37, the oil filler cap is upside down.
    86
  639. how else do you think jackstands are placed where they need to be? they just spawn from lift points when the vehicle is being lifted
    86
  640. That only looked like an OSHA violation, in reality it was an unannounced safety drill.
    86
  641. Stuff like this is what separates real mechanics from those who only do simple things and pretend they know what they're doing. This is almost on the level of rebuilding the upper part of the engine. And you just know what each and every little part is and how everything works. That said, I saw a video earlier today on Car Wizard's channel, and this engine made his list of "engines to avoid at all costs" because of this exact issue. It's a serious design flaw, and every single one of these needs this done at some point. Edit: You were close, it's called laparoscopy.
    86
  642. The leopard print mask on the dash tells me all I need to know about the owner. B.S. like this is why I do a walkaround with the customer before accepting the car or if it was dropped off after hours I take photos/video of the car before touching it. Too many scammers out there, sad to say.
    85
  643. Yes, some shops use the "gotta get it fixed or else" fears to do repairs and charge more. I was with the Tucson Police department and there were a lot of complaints called in to the city attorney's office for fraud involving a number of "service stations along I-10 going through the city. Since I was a mechanic, I was tasked to set up a sting operation to see if it was true and who was doing it. Since almost all the complaints were involving women I got several women police officers to pose as drivers from out of state and had a few cars brought to the city shops so we could set them up. We tuned them up and checked everything to make sure that all was serviceable then we built in a known problem. One car had one spark plug closed so it would not fire, another had a mis adjusted carburetor and all the belts were serviceable. The drivers went to all the gas stations along I-10 and either told the attendant to check the oil or that there was a "funny" noise from the engine. As a result there were several criminal fraud charges involving one "mechanic" telling the driver she had a bad oil leak that had to be fixed before she left. He was found to have a pen light that also had an oil squirter so he would look like he was checking things but was squirting used engine oil on a part. Another quoted a huge bill for all sorts of "must get done" repairs. One had a small razor blade that he cut belts with. There was only one old mechanic that pulled the plug that was closed and told the driver he fixed it and there was no charge. This did make the newspapers ( the ones printed on paper) and the only one shop the news was allowed to identify was the honest one. The complaint rate dropped. This was done in the mid 70's. There are a number of hidden camera fraud videos on YouTube that are similar.
    85
  644. Oh I did have to have a laugh at Ray trying to say that he's carrying without actually saying that he's carrying 😂
    85
  645. “It only has 3 bolts?” “Ah, weight saving” That quip made me lol!
    85
  646. the customer did not want to pay for the missing wheel bolt ? Amazing....Especially when you know what road vibration can do ...
    85
  647. Jared from Guns 'n Gadgets says it all the time: YOU are your own first responder. This is never more true when dealing with a major storm or natural disaster.
    85
  648. This is the season 2 premiere of "Florida man, Hold my beer" Starring ....Raining parts Man, I disassemble engines, Aaron potty mouth, what's in that beard Fordman, and Dave's not here man. The bachelor party edition.
    84
  649. When that bell type sound rings, it brings me back to the days when you would pull into a service station for gas at the "full service" pumps! There would be a black hose you run over and it would alert the attendant or mechanic in the service station to I'm out to the pumps and fill a vehicles gas tank, check the oil and clean the windows. Same ring, to the T. That was in the days when a gas station was also the auto repair location not a local store 🤣😎 Does anyone else remember the ding ding when pulling in to a gas station?
    84
  650. Congratulations, you made a short horror film. I was terrified when you pulled out the oil dip stick.
    84
  651. I've owned VW and can confirm that the Christmas tree of dash lights is normal 😂
    84
  652. But Scotty said Toyota’s run forever!!!
    84
  653. Take a break. You have technical skills, so you will always have work.
    84
  654. You can literally hear others working in the shop bro.
    84
  655. Reeeeeee!!! No wife unit appearance!!! No shameless self promotion of drink cups and such!!! Great recognition of Dave’s work!👍. Ray, stop worrying so much about the length of your videos, it causes you undo stress. Most of us don’t mind😁
    84
  656. I call those kind of people "organ donors". Glad you didn't get hit!
    83
  657. "This is going to be a short video"- uploads a 32 minute video. Love it. Keep it up Ray.
    83
  658. "It's fine if you don't look at it"
    83
  659. I was an aircraft electrician for 20 years just because the solenoid clicks doesn't mean it moves
    83
  660. Have been watching you for over a year now. I’ve enlisted both my sons and my son-in-law to watch your channel and we often discuss a video when we’re together. You have a natural aptitude and personality for making these videos. Your sense of humour, vast knowledge, family values, compassion, and strong ethics all make for a great break in my daily routine. Keep up the great work! We love visiting Florida and I’m sure it will recover better and stronger than before.
    83
  661. Sounds like a fantastic opportunity to open your own shop, Ray 😎. Buy a steel building kit, rent a crane, and set up your own garage. You're good enough that your customers will come to you. 👍
    83
  662. You are the mechanic that I would want working on my car. I hope things work out for you soon.
    83
  663. I really enjoyed this video. 30 years a machinist.
    83
  664. Just think of the money saved by 250,000 mile coolant change interval! 🤔😉😂
    83
  665. “Nooooo RainmanRay, you’re doing it wrong!!” — guy who has never worked on a car
    82
  666. I think you were pretty calm. I'm not mad at you.
    82
  667. Ray is one of the channels i watch that i will hit the like button before i actually watch the video itself
    82
  668. Hey Ray. I have to make a minor correction on a statement you made. At 11:20, approximately, you said that if the coolant reservoir were to leak, it would result in a lack of pressure building in the system, which would raise the boiling point. In fact, the opposite is true. Putting coolant/water under pressure raises the boiling point. Think about what happens when you remove the radiator cap on a hot engine. The coolant instantly flashes to steam. This is why an engine, although not desirable of course, can run at 230 degrees F under pressure and not boil and flash to steam.
    82
  669. Super Proud of you, honestly the lighting is pretty damn good. I'm just glad to see you putting money into your own bank and not someone else's. Your a real inspiration :)
    82
  670. The one thing I've always learned from these videos Above All Else is that Ray has the patience of a saint!🙏🍻👍🧰👋
    82
  671. "Supposed to be a hurricane coming" says Ray as he ceaselessly continues to film for us
    82
  672. As one Floridian to another. I wish you the best Ray. Go be your best you.
    82
  673. Ray, it amazes me how many work hours you must be making every week. You’re not just busy doing all the work on the vehicles, you are also putting an effort into making your video material pedagogical and fun to watch. Judging by the updates you must put in extreme hours of work in doing this. Just the way you communicate with us viewers whilst filming and also giving extra care and going the extra miles to create good camera angles makes you a unique auto content video producer. Thanks for doing this! My best regards from Sweden. 🇸🇪
    82
  674. Ima be honest, y’all be judging but for all you know he has 3 60s Chargers in pristine condition sitting in his garage.
    82
  675. Book states, "This job will take 7 hours to complete". Ray with an evil laugh, "Foolish book you have no power here".
    82
  676. Thanks for the stay away from trucks. It’s so annoying as a truck driver being cutoff to just take the ramp or something.
    81
  677. It's rare to find a mechanic that ADMITS to a mistake, much lees gives credit to someone else that called him out on said mistake and provided a solution. Ray you're Da'man.
    81
  678. i have to thank you for showing us the procedures going into diagnosing a fault, the garage i bought the car from couldnt fing a fault as they smoke tested and checked each component after replacing the turbo, eventually I traced the low turbo boost code to the wires connecting the MAP, someone had repaired the connector using a chocolate block connector, when i got through the tape over it I found 2 of the 3 wires were only occasionally making contact- all properly soldered and heatshrunk, and now the car is running as it should. so thanks- you helped me.
    81
  679. Working brakes = good. Brake pedal detaching = bad Is this going to be on the test?
    81
  680. Ray is having a contagious affect on everyone...I'm pretty sure I heard Eric O the other day on a video make the Rainman yodel when his shop phone rang. Talk about life's legacy.
    81
  681. That was a lawsuit waiting to happen. Could you imagine if the driver got into an accident because the previous shop failed to tighten all of those bolts?
    80
  682. ALWAYS load the loader backwards.. I move equipment daily for my job. Safe loading is back it onto the trailer.!!!!
    80
  683. Copyright claims for background music is BS as far as I'm concerned. If you're playing the music outright, fine, but not for background that you're mostly making noise/talking over. Keep it up.
    80
  684. High quality troll right there. Haters gonna hate, it's what they do. Like lots of other old school mechanics, I have built many engines with a beam style torque wrench. They are very accurate and effective, but hard to read the scale at some angles. I still have one, and it still gets used from time to time.
    80
  685. Have to definitely work on the editing, but you're on your way
    80
  686. Even when there are audio issues, I don't think your videos are ruined. They are still very entertaining And also a good learning experience.
    80
  687. I've resisted the urge to comment on the videos involving welding until now. The comments are out of hand on this one. Yes, I am a professional welder just to get that out of the way first. tl/dr version: this temporary fix was fine. Long version: -Keep in mind this is a temporary fix, he said so. -The amount of heat he put into the lbj was not enough to anneal the socket or the ball, just the outer bits where the splines are. Since it is being anchored by the weld at those points anyway, who cares. -If the grease had boiled, there very likely would have been evidence of this visible from the camera vantage point. -General safety bs: gimme a break, not even going into detail on that except to say the actual danger was incredibly minimal. -Weld quality was fine. Strong does not always equal pretty. Appearance was not an issue here anyway because a)he explained the situation to the owner, who is really the only one who matters, and b)who is going to see that aside from another technician. He nailed the joint and got enough penetration to get the job done for its intended purpose. This weld repair will very likely last longer than the lbj. -The only thing I personally would have done differently is position the welds in spots that would make it easier to cut them out if that became necessary, which is unlikely in this case. Nice work Ray, nothing wrong with what you did, in my opinion. Love your videos, love your work ethic. Keep 'em coming.
    80
  688. I'm looking forward to your differential portion of this series. One of my "specialties" when I worked at the GM dealer was Corvette differentials. I tried a few ways to remove them, I'm interested in your choice. Thanks for another interesting video. Watch out for those side pipes!
    80
  689. Vent windows were one of the best features of older vehicles. Never should have stopped equipping them.
    79
  690. This is exactly how to do it in all industries. Good Job, Sir!
    79
  691. You are a great mechanic, don't worry about all the people that think they are!
    79
  692. Whenever I need to bring my car to a garage, I always empty it. Not trash. Just stuff I need and use. But it's completely empty when I bring it in.
    79
  693. Not a demotion,its a reminder of your roots in the trade. Great content ! Really enjoy your stuff.
    79
  694. For a timesaver .. Get some small magnetic signs that say Rainman Rays you can put over license plates or logos on or under car such as the pan logo. Saves you a lot of editing time. Or just use 2" wide masking tape.
    79
  695. back before Advance switched to DieHard, autocraft was sold to walk in customers, and for commercial customers the autocraft labels were removed so the shops would install the "professional" line. it's not a rebrand, just a DIY vs Pro thing
    78
  696. Was that the 10mm wrench I have read about? I saw one once, but never again. The 10mm is an elusive beast.
    78
  697. Best of luck with whatever job you get next sir. If a place wont let you be you, then there are plenty of other places that will. Stay cool man. That whole project woulda had me in the corner rocking back n forth lol
    78
  698. Congrats on the celebration of your marriage. Appreciate you guys!
    77
  699. All I keep thinking is how lucky we are to live in FL where there is No road salt and winter.. this vid would have been twice as long and F bomb ridden if this car was from up north! LMAO!! 😁
    77
  700. Dam I was going to comment that maybe he should have it checked out for leaks before throwing money at it but you addressed that. Best of Luck with the guy.
    77
  701. I hope everyone involved escaped that situation save and unharmed. What a sight...
    77
  702. Sorry Ray, had to laugh when you said, "I'm getting old". I think you've mention you've been at this profession for 18 years.... I've been retired almost that many years! (my youngest is 35)😲👴 Keep learning Ray... it only makes you BETTER and in my view, you are high on the scale.👍 Ray, it is through watching your videos that I removed my first wheel hub off of a vehicle (torque wrench fail and the first stud went snap instead of "click" 😡). New stud pressed in and reassembled thanks to you... oh, and a new torque wrench. This was only on my quad, but YOU are the encouragement this old guy needed, Thanks.
    77
  703. Great idea Ray, looking forward to seeing what crawls out of the engine.....
    77
  704. I bought a Mini Cooper that was heading to the scrap yard if I didn’t buy it. 2 months later and a few bucks it drives almost like a new car. Project cars are fun if you get them cheap enough.
    77
  705. The transmission said, " Don't move. I'll go get you a towel."
    77
  706. I am so sorry for making so much noise Ray, tearing out the tile. We got er did. Can’t wait to see the final look with the new garage doors and stuff.
    76
  707. The horn works great to tell the bad drivers to stay in their lane when they do the bad driving. Thanks Ray!
    76
  708. He might be doing 100 mph trying to get into heaven in his mustang but he'll only be doing 22 mph in the hearse on the journey to the cemetery.... Take care, regards Andy
    76
  709. Knocking on the door of half a milion subscribers, happier Ray with WU support and more family interaction, great inspirational posts on saving some important historic vehicles (particularly that lovely old girl 95 4.0 Wrangler). Living your very best life Sir and absolutely deserved.
    76
  710. As hard as Ray said it was to plug in, maybe whoever just got it started and it popped out on the first bump. Nice job Ray!
    76
  711. They're all busy running their YouTube channels.
    76
  712. It makes me smile to imagine how many people across the world now sing “doodle-doodle-loo” along with you every time the shop phone rings?! I join in with the ‘Clicks’ and the powering down sounds too. It’s daft, but it amuses me!
    76
  713. This video is a fine example of why I insist that engineers should have to work on cars for 5 years before they're allowed to design them.
    76
  714. The Northstar is the perfect example of why Mechanics hate engineers! Have a great day, Sir! And God Bless. o7
    75
  715. I've been a tech for more than 20 years up in Massachusetts and that power steering line rust problem is like an easy everyday R&R for me, but you did an excellent job brother, thanks for sharing your frustrations with us!!
    75
  716. Content is great. You explain everything very well, I really love watching your vids. Here's the 'but' though: The music is godawful. If I could make a wish, I'd say keep everything as it is, but drop the added music. I'd rather listen to silence (or sounds of ratchets, dakdaks and so on) than to this (or any sort of) background music. Again: I love your channel.
    75
  717. Good news is if the apprentice still has a job he will never do that again.
    74
  718. It's only temporary until it works 😅
    74
  719. Watched Eric's video on the engine rebuild you and him working on for the family in need. This is so awesome what you're doing.
    74
  720. Great news Ray you’ll be your own boss well done very proud of you 👍
    74
  721. The skill set required to do all that Ray does is tremendous and his automotive mechanical accomplishment simply serve as the platform to realize his true talent. He frames up scene after scene like a pro film making director, he ad libs complete scripts in addition to being stage and lighting director. His stand-up comedy quality keeps his audience connected. This guy is a phenomenon!
    74
  722.  @shaneshannon6874  Not sure why you felt the need to attack me, must've hit a nerve or something...
    74
  723. The new shop is a diamond in the rough, and you have what it takes to get it shaped up and ready to go. I'm so happy for you and can't wait to see you getting it ready. I only wish I could live closer and bring my retired butt over to help. Good luck, brother, a lot of us are pulling for you these days. I know you will make it. BTW, the shower may be needed after you spend two or three days in a row without a trip home.
    73
  724. Ray, it was a struggle to watch at times, but with carbies it comes from experience but glad to see you work through it all, like the true professional that you are the butterfly screws are generally peened and are prone to snap best to file the back then replace
    73
  725. It's great seeing you investing in your business and continuing to grow!
    73
  726. It's really hard to make short technical videos without leaving out important technical data. Mine always end up roughly the same length.
    73
  727. The one thumbs down is the pissed off Robinair tech that didn't get to make a service call.
    73
  728. Could you show us again how that coil bites? I’m not familiar with the process 🙂
    73
  729. Ray you may say boring for us to watch you install rtv but there are those of us that learn from watching different methods of putting on rtv so we can improve our methods of putting rtv on in diffetent surcumbstances. Thanks for the video and the educational aspect of it. You and Troy have a Great Day yourselves.
    73
  730. Ray, you and Eric O., in complete honesty, are just the best on-line mechanics ever. You both have the perfect personalities for these video’s. I am not positive what that certain thing is, but you guys got it and I really appreciate your video’s. It is the first thing that I do every morning when I wake up. Thank you again.
    73
  731. i am in a situation where cant do anything of my own i have had to sell almost everything i own but ur vids are the best part of my day keep it up dude
    73
  732. I knew it was a great day when the O2 sensor came out with ease.
    72
  733. You dodged a bullet by not going to work for a company like that
    72
  734. Thanks for taking the time to make so many videos. Your info helps so many people. I don't have any of these cars or issues but still enjoy your content!
    72
  735. You have a rare opportunity to show future customers your inherent integrity with a simple YouTube link. I've been watching off and on for the last year or so, and I was honestly surprised you weren't running your own shop. I am so happy for you and am sure you've got this. I can't wait to watch your success unfold.
    72
  736. People who have never worked on cars cannot comprehend the thrill and excitement of the personal achievement of getting those bolts out that easily. It's right up there with winning the Indy 500.
    72
  737. I get the feeling you may have woken Derrick up and he's just too good a dude to say so.
    72
  738. Watched Part 1, straight into Part 2 of this rebuild by Ray 😀.... then Eric O, Ivan, Wes, and finally Mustie 1 .. Great way to spend a Sunday evening!
    72
  739. I watched Eric assemble that Pentastar but he didn't record the boxing of it. I wonder how much he was laughing thinking about you unboxing it. It surely was going to make a safe trip. Looking forward to the installation of the engine. Thanks for the Lauren/WifeUnit cameo. She looks good in that Camaro. 😊

  740.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  Gene has shims of a negative thickness. He's cool like that.

  741. Missed the set screw on the tuner knob.

  742. Best thing you ever did was to start your own shop Ray. Aussie Graham.
    71
  743. "I am in fight or flight mode and I ain't going anywhere" - brilliant!
    71
  744. What this car needs is a complete restoration, much more than the Silverado turned int, which was much more than expected. Giving the owner the complete story is good, and then politely say that this is beyond what Ray is in the business to do, is treasonable. As talented as Ray is, he could probably fix everything this car needs, but it would be a long expensive job, and that isn't what Ray's talents are best used for.
    71
  745. He's shopping around to find out who will pay him for it, he probably fucked it up himself. Why else would he come to you when you when you last touched the truck over a year ago before taking it back to the dealership where they attempted a repair for an oil leak a couple of months ago?
    71
  746. If you ever sell that truck, the buyer is going to need a three day operators course.
    71
  747. Dude, I wish you would have put into your channel 6 years ago what you do now. You would be in the millions of subscribers. You are an ardent, moral, witty guy. Excellent mechanic
    71
  748. In today's lesson we learn what your front brake rotors look like when you have a shaking steering wheel while pressing the brake pedal.
    71
  749. I’m watching this on a screen and still find myself moving to the side when you were compressing it with lift. Pucker factor of 1000
    71
  750. At least you got 3-4 days to re-charge/reset..to do it all over again. Do not forget the cup on the tool box test.
    71
  751. I AM impressed. You start your own business repairing automobiles and classically, "you hit the ground running!" You have employees, an office manager, and 3 bays that seem to always be full. I'd assume your finance statement is profit = not red. And you don't appear to be stressed from it all. They say: "do what you love and never work a day in your life!" Small business is the backbone of America and you are a staunch contributor. AGAIN: I am impressed.
    71
  752. It is a beautiful thing when this country comes together to help when needed. A big thank you to all the lineman out there you make modern society possible.

  753. Used the solder beads 40 years ago when I was in the aircraft industry as a avionics engineer they work great if you have the deflector on your heat gun trust me 🙂
    70
  754. I’m a newer viewer Ray but I couldn’t be more excited for you. I’ve been in automotive since I was 16 and I’m not 39. I have a lot of the same issues at my current shop of employment. I enjoy taking care of customers and actually fixing the cars which goes against our “just beat them over the head with a hammer and sell them everything” plan. I can’t express how much I hate working in this environment and starting a small shop would be a dream but I completely understand the undertaking , investment and hurdles you have. I wish you the best of luck man. I just applied to a new shop this morning 3.5 hours west of where my family lives now in Pennsylvania. I’m going for a complete change. Move the wife and kids out to rural Pennsylvania, get away from the city and madness and get a shop at one of the good family shop that still believes in fair business and customer service.

  756. I’m a recovering Hyundai tech. There’s a 1 pin connector near the air box on almost every hyundai which is the starter solenoid wire. This is always my go to test point to check starter signal. Those solenoid connectors always break!
    70
  757. It's crazy that you changed the lower control arm on a Camry faster than you changed the spark plugs on a Mercedes.
    70
  758. Welcome to the club Ray, and congrats. Owning the shop is simultaneously the best and worst thing I've ever done lol.
    70
  759. You’re not having a bad day, you’re having a blessed day. Your home and family are intact. Stay positive you’ll get through this.
    70
  760. Ray, did you know on your Fluke DVM that if you are checking resistance and you want to get a true zero ohms when shorting the leads together push the Delta (triangle) button. It will zero the display and remember to subtract the resistance of the leads. But only for that session.
    70
  761. Hey Ray I know you will not see this comment but you are my Mr. Rogers of the car world and I find you very entertaining. Even just you waving your hands and narrating is entertaining. 😆 have yourself a good day.
    69
  762. Well good thing you got the cel on camera when you started it up, kinda hard to fight that. Pretty sad when mechanics should wear body cams because of sleazy customers.
    69
  763. When I stopped by to pick up my car a few weeks ago, I pulled in and Troy was working on cleaning the wheels up on my car. I said "Hi, Troy!" like it was nothing, but then it hit me about how weird that must be to have total ransdos just saying 'hi' like you're old friends. So I asked him if it was, in fact, that weird. He was super cool about it. Best of luck to you, Troy. You certainly seem like a cool dude.
    69
  764. There is no way on this green earth I would let this little punk kid work on my truck
    69
  765. We're always here for you, Ray. You've taught me so much about cars. I change my MAP sensor today. I know that's not hard but thanks to you I had the confidence to do it. You don't even know my Jeep exists but you're maintaining it.
    69
  766. You didn't pre fill the oil filter! OMG 😳 I'm telling Scotty the know it all ! 👌
    69
  767. My check engine light keeps coming on and every time I open the hood and check it's still there and running fine
    69
  768. All my senses tell me that you don't have to worry about your business. You're an honest guy and a hell of a good mechanic! Within 6 months you'll have to work 80hs per week, or you'll be able to hire someone. I'm even sure that you'll be a great guy to work for! Keep on being you!
    69
  769. I think he would be narrating out loud to himself even if the cameras weren't there. Love the videos
    69
  770. Ray is the Bob Ross of mechanics. Could name the channel "The Joy of Wrenching" 😂
    69
  771. Having changed countless hundreds of gallons of oil in my 55 years as a car/truck mechanic, I can’t remember not filling the crankcase with oil immediately or as soon as possible after draining it. And especially if a garage has multiple techs as Rays has, it’s a bit unnerving to me his having to ask the other guy did he tighten the drain plug, install the oil in the motor, etc. Bottom line, the guy that starts the job should finish the job, even if it’s a fairly simple thing as an oil change. This is how vehicles are released back to the customer without oil in the motor and as a result costing the shop hundreds if not thousands of dollars!
    69
  772. I taught and managed A/C classes at a vo-tech school for 13 years. We had 8 Snap-on recycle machines. Just Robinaires with a higher price tag. OMG, this video brought back memories! The reason for programming the filter # is so you cant cheat and just re-use the old filter. Older machines didn't require that until the EPA stepped in. That Stupid O-ring on top always gave me fits! They NEVER fit right! I was surprised to see the new one already set in its groove. First time I've seen that. You CAN cheat on the vacuum pump oil, but why? You could see the oil was contaminated, and pumps lose their efficiency with crappy oil, so it's worth it to replace the oil. You did fine as usual! No REEEE at all!
    69
  773. I remember when this dude had like 600 subs. Don’t change a thing.
    69
  774. I really dig watching your vids man. You remind me so much of my mechanic buddy and the calm temperament he displays when he works on stuff. It just proves that some people are correctly programmed for this kind of work...people like you and him. And the fact that you are an honest guy to boot just echos that correct programming. Keep it up brother.
    69
  775. Eric O is changing an engine in a Caddy ATS with an aluminum underbody on his channel. No rust and easier to work on than most NY rust buckets. He said this must be what it's like working on cars in FLORIDA. And if he hears you complaining he'll smack ya...ROFL. You two guys. If you both had a shop together it would be THE BEST EVER. Take care.
    69
  776. No hate here Ray, just happy you are able to show us around SEMA with Rich and make videos before you open the new shop up!
    69
  777. I don't know if anyone else has said this, but it takes a gigantic set of cajones to do what you're doing. My utmost respect to you sir and I wish you much success. You're the kind of person who deserves it!
    68
  778. Take it easy Ray and get well rested. Best wishes from the UK
    68
  779. I’m sure the managers of those establishments will be very cranky when they hear of potential sales losses!
    68
  780. Ray had his own comeback. Thanks for showing us you are human.
    68
  781. Sorry about the little typos, clear flood mode on the gasoline engines is if you have a ignition key after an oil change just hold down the Gas Pedal and turn the key forward as if you're trying to start it and it will temporarily disable the injectors so you can crank over the engine and pull oil into the system If you have a push to start vehicle you have to hold the brake and the gas while pushing the button and let it crank for about four - five seconds and then let go of the gas while still holding the brake in the vehicle start and that will also pre-fill the system for you On the Diesels they don't have clear flood mode so the oil change is done exactly like you did it in this video which is the proper way to do it to keep contaminants out of the system
    68
  782. Good job Ray. I'm an automotive locksmith. We don't do too much if any rekeying any more. Back in the day when I was on the road myself I had keying kits for just about every car out there. I replaced more ignitions than I can count. Since transponders came out now we basically do 2 things and stay busy all day. We make/program lost keys/fobs and lockouts. We just don't have time for the repair stuff and to be honest programming and lockouts are much more profitable so we would lose money taking repairs on. People get mad and say "I thought you were a car locksmith" lol. I don't care I have to do what's good for business. Glad someone is still willing to do that stuff for people. Interesting I never saw kits like that. I would buy the locks from wholesalers and we would use large kits with all the wafers and springs for a particular brand. They aren't interchangeable unless they use the same cylinders. For you DIY guys if you get one that is hanging up and you don't want to buy a keying kit or new cylinder you can remove the bad wafers and spring for that chamber. It's a hack job and I never did it but OK for a DIY guy. With the cylinder out and the key in the lock you can see which wafer doesn't look right and or not sitting flush. Usually it's bent and or very worn. This is a common thing on Honda's. The key stops turning in the lock. Doors and ignitions. VW's have issues with the ignition housing. Basically the key stops turning because a part broke off in the housing.
    68
  783. The movie style credits are hilarious - I feel like I should be having popcorn.
    68
  784. Ray knows his audience: a bunch of chronological adults who are still mentally middle school boys 😂 He's baiting us with the titles and commentary lol.
    68
  785. I'm 76 and have been on the net since 14.4 modems. These people or varieties of them have been around at least since then. As soon as you get rid of one, two more pop up. It's a never ending battle but one that must be waged. They have not caught me yet and I don't intend to be scammed by them because they are so obvious. Good luck to all. Thank you Ray for your concern.
    68
  786. You don't make bets with a customer's car! You carry out experiments and tests on your own car, if it breaks down you are not hurting anyone and it's not degrading your reputation. Besides, how hard is it to listen to the entire video before talking nonsense? He clearly explained that the parts had already been ordered and that he was after a upgraded part for the customer.
    68
  787. You really had me on that drain plug! I was so pissed when you did that and felt really fool after hearing your gonna change the oilpan :D
    68
  788. I liked your battery terminal story. Can I share one of my own? Pre-Covid I was cruising my convertible around the lake one evening and ended up coming home later than usual which meant I had my headlights on. Sitting at a stop light with my turn signal on, I noticed that the dash lights were dimming in time with the turn signal which told me there was a low battery issue. But I knew the battery was good so when I got home I went to throw it on the charger and realized the negative terminal was loose. I had removed it to work on something a week or two ago while working on the car and afterwards I put the terminal back on to do a road test but never tightened it down. Okay, great, that's probably what the problem is, right? But the next day the dealer calls and says I'm overdue for an oil change. I actually changed my own oil so I wasn't due, but I figured, "hell, I might as well let them double check my charging issue and get a free multi-point." So I schedule an appointment and drop off the car. Later, I get a call from the service advisor. "So the car isn't starting?" The guy asks. I explain: "No, the car starts fine. I just had one instance where the dash lights were dimming. I think the problem was just a loose battery terminal but wanted you guys to check that the alternator is working okay." "Okay, we'll check it out and I'll call you back." Later the service advisor calls back. "So I've got your SLK here with the no-start condition..." he begins. Whoo boy... "but the technician tested the battery and it's fine so the car is okay to come pick up," he tells me. I said, "no, I know there's nothing wrong with the battery because I just replaced it a year ago and I charged it before I brought the car in. And there wasn't a no-start condition. I wanted you to test the alternator. Can ask the technician if he checked the alternator to make sure it's charging the battery?" He says, "okay, I'll talk to him and we'll have an answer by the time you get here." Well, you can guess the rest of the story. I got there and the service advisor was happy to tell me the car started no problem and the he talked to the technician who told him the battery tested good so I'm all good to go. Ugh, whatever. The cherry on top was they then couldn't find the car in the lot for 10 minutes and gave me my key fob back broken. I sometimes hate service advisors.
    68
  789. Being a first time dad as of nine months ago, that story literally gave me goosebumps and chills. Thank you for sharing that with us. It must not have been easy, so thank you.
    68
  790. Ray, I picked up on your communication skills within the first two or three videos of yours I ever watched. I hope you realize that your ability to fix cars is not the only exceptional talent. You have an opportunity to help other young men fix their broken lives by sharing messages just like this and showing by example of how they can break the long chain of broken family lives.
    68
  791. Ray, your content length is fine, keep doing what your doing! You have one of the better vlogs on youtube!😊
    67
  792. But the customer is always r i g h t, right?
    67
  793. Only 2 minutes in. Looks like it's gonna be a pretty straight forward repair? Side note...approaching a half million subs. Keep putting out great content,you'll be at a million in no time. 👍
    67
  794. Hey Ray. Always trust your spidey senses.
    67
  795. Here's a beer (or whatever your fav is)on me! Open your own place! I'd drive from Alabama to let you repair something I wasn't able to! That last doo-dilly-doo brought a tear to my eye :) Your optimism is contagious! May the Lord bless you and keep you and the family and His face shine on you and give you peace!
    67
  796. You know, eye drops are technically blinker fluid!
    67
  797. Hey Ray, have you recovered from removing all those screws from the crate Eric sent you? 😆 Have a great Sunday my friend👍
    67
  798. this video is why most people who know nothing about cars and just buy them are soo freaking sceptical about mechanics because people fuck up like that and often its far worse than this, and they end up having that experience from a shop that doesn't fix its mistakes or tries to hide it. So the idea of finding good honest mechanics is tarnished in their minds
    67
  799.  @mailborder  Parts coming from china are substandard in quality in many instances. I'm sure as a mechanic this causes additional work and he has a right to complain about it.
    67
  800. Ray, I just wanted to say: There ain't nothin' better than waking up to a new video from you, and having my morning coffee and cigarette while watching you take stuff apart. That said, keep showing the vlog format. The people complaining actually aren't considering: Sometimes you might miss something on a repair, or need help diagnosing a problem. Eric O. in New York has had a few videos where that's happened, and I believe you have as well. So what I'm saying is, the longer videos give us armchair, or actual techs, the opportunity to exercise our skills right along with you. And for that, I, at least, am grateful.
    66
  801. And this is why you inspect cars before you drive them people. SAFETY.
    66
  802. Hi Ray, love the videos. I do driveshafts for a living and thought I’d mention the Dorman driveshaft slip uses that metal bit and rubber instead of a bellow. The metal bit peens into the slip and the rubber bit is a wiper seal it prevents dirt etc from getting inside the slip. Either way works but thought I’d mention it 🙂
    66
  803. Up late in Cali again Ray ! That's my same battery . .$185 at walmart ! So glad to see things are going well ! I bet wife unit and the kids are glad they can spend more time with Dad at the new place !! I enjoy your videos. . even the stubborn bolt ones. . . must see the win over those. . ! ! You make life interesting ! :) I wish you continued SUCCESS !!
    66
  804. I love finding your videos in my YT feed. You (and the Wife Unit) are both so positive, and so enjoyable to watch. If I'm not learning something, I'm enjoying the content you folks create. It's such a breath of fresh air from all of the "other" content available to be viewed. Thank you both for all you do to make this existence a little more enjoyable, and always, a little more fun!😊
    66
  805. Watching this one video you can tell Dave has a lot more common sense than most .
    66
  806. What has this world come too. That person that verbally attacked you over something they have nothing to do with needs to stay in their basement and keep licking the windows on their computer. What does it matter what you do with your tools. Been doing this for 37 years and like you said Ray you get what you pay for. Been there done that. Have a great day✌️
    66
  807. I love 'Das Auto' and the jokes about how the activated engine light is normal in VWs. I am German btw. Great jokes!
    66
  808. Personally, I think all the stuff you've done with your truck, including the extra tank, have been a series of brilliant ideas. Swiss Army Truck.
    66
  809. You know you're getting old when you have more fun going shopping at Wal-Mart with your buddies while in Las Vegas than going to a strip club or gambling, lol. Was a great video Ray.
    66
  810. Not a hater but I would have used some torque wrench on the hub bolts and brake assembly. Having said that, I think most people can't really get their head around the fact that when you've being doing this for a long enough time, you can pretty much feel exactly how far you can go with a bolt or nut.
    66
  811. Love the fisher price plastic teething collars holding up the strut assembly
    66
  812. Ray, I found that PVC pipe works well and if you need to cut it for clearance here’s no lose, like when you modify a tool. The PVC comes in different diameter and whatever length you want, it won’t damage the edges of the seals.
    65
  813. Impressive watching the two of you work. I enjoy seeing professional techs who know their craft. The wire rubbed bare was one of those one in a million condition. Good job.
    65
  814. Thanks Ray, your cool headed optimism always reminds me of what professionals should act like. A/C on of course...
    65
  815. There's a Texas saying I'll repeat here - Turn around. Don't drown. If the water is that high on the road and you have to counter steer to keep it straight, then it's too deep.
    65
  816. That awkward moment when: You find yourself watching another mechanic work on your day off... I had actually felt the sigh of relief when the axle finally came off; in my soul. Lol
    65
  817. The main reason this happens is the tech/mechanic working on it hasn't yet worked out a procedure for checking things. My first job was at a Valvoline quicklube shop. The first few days of the job were all training on the computer and hands on. They are VERY strict that you follow their procedure. Double check the old gasket is on the old filter after the oil change is done. Have a second person watch you tighten the drain bolt. Having a specific order things are done in. I give Valvoline the credit for me now having so few comebacks as a regular mechanic. I still till this day use a lot of the training they gave me. The biggest thing I do is, use the oil drain bin as a marker. If it's under the vehicle then that means something is loose. And aside from that, I won't walk away from the vehicle till the component I am currently working with is tight.
    65
  818. Sounds like everyone has their own way of doing U-Joints. I too have my own way or ways actually depending on what tools i have available at the time. So I won't fault you or tell you there's a better way to do it. You simply did it the way you felt was best using the tools you had available at the time. Bottom line is you got the job done. Will be interesting to see how the rest goes so hope you film and post the rest of the reassembly.
    65
  819. "That was a scary one. Let's do it again." Classic.
    65
  820. Wife unit is such a sweetheart.
    64
  821. Hi Ray. I'm really enjoying these videos. As a retired auto trimmer for GM,the best thing to do with those plastic clips is to assume every one of them will break on removal and replace them with new clips. Some may be able to to refit,but,they're always loose and contribute to rattle. Best to toss the old ones and cut to the chase.
    64
  822. Feel better. Coffee in the am is just not the same, without your videos.
    64
  823. Every day we wake up vertical is a good day!
    64
  824. As a Cherokee owner, I approve of the humor in this video.
    64
  825. Let's hope that kid learned an expensive lesson. A £40 lube service is cheaper that a £1000+ engine repair
    64
  826. Tuned into Rainman Ray's repair, and watched a Lock Picking Lawyer episode!
    64
  827. Very entertaining. Young man wont make that mistake again. A man who hasn't made a mistake is man who's done nothing.
    64
  828. On a quiet night you can hear a Ford rust.
    64
  829.  @FenrirFabrication  I'm a bit distresses by 'Bad Boy', finding that quite sexist, I find 'focus' offensive to people with limited sight, 'poppin ze hood' in that tone is clearly racist, 'oh man - loaded strut' a touch sexist, 'sweet gravy job' possibly triggering for pre-diabetics. I wonder if German get offended by Germanium transistors? Hope they stay way from AvE.
    64
  830. After COVID, the world kinda gave up. Any kind of customer service or quality control went out the window. What's sad is if those guys go back to the shop that installed that and complain, they'll probably just say "sorry sir there's a fuse shortage". I know there are some legitimate shortages but I feel like a lot of people blame incompetence on it.
    64
  831. Unlimited what? Unlimited napkins is a Jeep things?
    63
  832. Ray as a mechanic, you must always remember this: "the angle of the dangle is inversely proportional to the heat of the meat, provided that the maxis of the axis, and the gravity of the cavity, remain constant.
    63
  833. Ray…. I’ve been following the YouTube mechanic community for YEARS! Honestly…. This is the nicest setup I’ve seen any of them get started with! I’m sure you’re going to need to upgrade and expand eventually. But this is going to work GREAT!!! I’m so happy for, and proud of you!!! Go Rainman!!!
    63
  834. All the chrome bits were offered by Direct Connection(Mopar Performance) pretty neat to see all of em. Way to go w the Weber 32/36, a nice upgrade from the electronic feedback Holley’s👍
    63
  835. As a Former Corp Investigator, we call those...."Sales Floor Rentals" LMAO!
    63
  836. I've been a Stagehand for 4 years, I can totally relate to the whole "I'm on hour 36 without sleep and I can't add 2&2 today but, I'm here to work today." Storm stress is strangely similar.
    63
  837. Always amazes me that people have an opinion about things and are militant about things that they will never purchase or have interest in, but they will spend an inordinate amount of time trying to play down. Who cares if this guy wants 24 carat gold intake and exhaust pipes? It's his money to spend how he sees fit. Keep up the good work Ray.
    63
  838. Hello, Ray! I want to share what happened to me when I surrounded myself with haters and tried to talk to them to remedy any flaws in my own thinking. I love to watch and draw anime and... 'anime' and without getting into it, you don't even have to go into the questionable types to be called some rather horrible things. As a result of listening to said haters, my heart stopped being into it and I started worrying about preposterous things to the point where I went to a therapist just to check if there's something wrong with me. Turns out there was - I got a bit of mass psychosis from the same type of Dunning-Kruger victims that think video games will rewire your brain and make you go on a murder-spree because they watched one video about neuroplasticity. The way someone talks to you shows how healthy their way of thinking is and those that yell at you and try to lecture you without a shred of empathy are usually not well-off in that regard. It is plain to see that the those who have worked on said empathy skills are fine with you giving a bit of special treatment to whoever chooses to support you because you want to give something back and not because you're some greedy <redacted>. And thanks if you read this wall of text, hope it helped! :D

  839. I have been a tradesman for over forty years, invested in excess of 45k in tools. Snap-On has been good to me, along with other tool truck venders over the years. Even when I have used screwdrivers as chisels and prybars, ratchets as hammers. Just saying, they know this all too well. Watch any YouTuber and you see the mistreatment of all kinds of tools. A welded pair of pliers is no biggy to my supplier. Thanks Ray. The old school guy.

  840. The rodents know when a car is not driven everyday. This person had disabled placard. It's a expensive problem when they eat the soybased wiring. Great Job Ray!👍👍👍👍

  841. Obviously your skills and ability put you at the top of your profession! What ever they are paying you is not enough! I can only tell you from experience you should really consider opening your own business. I started my business with little money, the most important thing I had going for me was my ability and determination I never look back. I did enjoy the ride immensely. Time will go by very fast believe me I know I’m a so-called senior citizen now, enjoying your videos and commentary.
    63
  842. Ray, that was a nice, logical diagnosis and repair. Of course, you touched the hood of the truck with your bare finger which, as we all know, totally destroyed the entire paint job on that truck, ha ha.
    63
  843. I don't do rush either, the more people rush me the slower I go!
    63
  844. Favorite part of video? Definitely the brief "camper van" tour! To me that looked like an elaborate anti-theft scheme... One look inside and any would-be car thief will disable themselves with laughter. 😀 Actually years ago a neighbor of my dad drove cars with similar mods. He was an "inventor" who was always doing "experiments". Sometimes it seemed a miracle he survived. Stay away from that broken lift and have a great afternoon, Ray.

  845. 4 Year Nissan Master Tech... Nissan CVT's work just fine if you change the fluid every 30k with high quality fluid. The '08 to '12 Altima/Rogue had a problem with being overfilled from the factory. We fixed it by sucking out some fluid and replacing the dipstick with a new one. They also overheated in very hot climates like here in Vegas and also Phoenix. We fixed that with a trans cooler. The newer CVT's with the 3.5 V6's had a bearing in the case that could go bad. Some were factory defects, some went bad from lack of maintenance. Moral of the story... Replace your fluid and you'll be fine.
    63
  846. Seasoned Tech on this channel. You know the safeguards to keep in mind when it is just an oil change. Fun fact. I once had a vehicle flat bedded to the dealership for a no-run complaint. I was able to verify a good battery and good engine crank. My next step was to verify the fuel level. The walk light was active. I had my customer service guy get a lot Tech to add fuel to the vehicle before I proceeded any further. Surprise, there is no problem with your brand new less than 50 miles on the odometer dodge challenger. We will not be paying the tow fee.
    63
  847. Good stuff, Owner made a good choice replacing all of them at the same time, just makes sense! Also, ignore the asshat trolls who come around. Bueno!
    63
  848. You need to know that you were finally able to push that radiator hose onto the water pump neck because I was holding my mouth in the right position and tilted my head just right. I make myself tired trying to help you. 😁
    63
  849. First comment from Aus. Hi all. Ray, you are the 'Dr house' of mechanics. There seems to be quite often a secret back story that needs to be uncovered. So often you seem to be repairing someone else's mistakes. Your diligence and problem solving ability never ceases to amaze me.
    63
  850. You’re a good dude. The music criticism is only cause we care and want your channel to be great. Most don’t like music done with a talking type video. We’re not annoying, we just care.
    62
  851. Be careful Ray, according to YT's new rules a assault hammer's magazine can't contain more than 29 dugaducks!
    62
  852. Unfortunately I’ve worked with a few guys, who like you have the experience, but unlike you view a tyre change as beneath them. Clearly you are happy to help when needed and we desperately need more of you in the industry. Watching your videos restored my faith that good techs/mechs exist, and helps me personally stay honest.
    62
  853. I have been watching your videos, not because I needed the info they provide but because you make a darn good video, always interesting, you have a good style in your delivery, good camera shooting, diagnosis process, the repair. Oh hel I'll just keep on watching. Thanks for the entertainment.
    62
  854. Silly how you have to make a disclaimer about not prying against the threads while trying to align the "nater" for those few people that have nothing better to do but nitpick about every little thing. Although, "going down" did make me laugh. Love your vids!
    62
  855. All my assault air guns where lost in a boating accident. Feelsbadman. Rad stuff per usual Ray.
    62
  856. Self isolating after testing positive for Covid. There is a positive to this though as I have found your channel! Love all the videos and the way you present them. Thank you from Lincoln, UK.
    62
  857. The world needs more mechanics like you Ray, looking forward to the video!!
    62
  858. Nice, able to remove the blower fan without 8 hours of labor. Plus another 10 to put it back
    62
  859. The wife unit is a keeper!
    62
  860. As a tradesman I fully understand. When you make a living with your tools you want the better tools. It’s a pain to start using a tool and it doesn’t work because it’s been overused because it was designed for the homeowner.
    62
  861. It’s so much more interesting when things go wrong, and you find solutions to fix the problem that’s out of the norm. 👍🏼👍🏼
    62
  862. This storm is an entire FU to Florida. Haven't seen one on a path like this in many years. Keep your head up. Get rest when you can. The next couple of days you won't be getting much. God Bless you and the family. 🙏
    62
  863. That was absolutley priceless
    62
  864. I agree that the Pentastar engines are basically breakdowns waiting to happen. I'm amazed that the company that gave us great iron like the 383, the 426 Hemi. the nearly indestructible 318 and slant sixes put out such a piece of crap. Love your channel. Keep up the good work
    61
  865. You are right Ray. Modifications are not everyones interest, but while your video was playing I cooked a nice breakfast, and the wife and I ate it on the patio. You got your views and play time, I got breakfast, and everyone is happy. Thanks for sharing this with those who were interested.
    61
  866. Nowadays, it’s a good idea to record as soon as you start the car up so customers can’t say that light wasn’t on when you got my car and it happens more than you think.
    61
  867. Don't forget to change the blinker fluid after the muffler valve
    61
  868. Customer left excellent feed back for the mechanic " Would advise all my friends to come here , great service"..
    61
  869.  @chazmichaelmichaels88  EXACTLY ! Same EVERYWHERE IN THE WESTERN WORLD ! They know how to change sex but not engine oil !
    61
  870. Karens like that are worst type customer. I rather lose her Business and tell her you want your car take it elsewhere . In her mind she see jiffy lube signs all over the place.....15 min oil change and thinks that how long it should take. My guess she still making payments on 16 year old benz. smh Good job great content.Hope you are doing better after the rona stint.
    61
  871. Since you have pups in the shop, be diligent with keeping that antifreeze cleaned up.
    61
  872. I remember when I worked at a AutoZone commercial shop sales I would often help the front counter and I would tell the customer that the codes is a starting point and doesn't mean that that certain sensor is bad and they needed to take the vehicle to a mechanic...I got in trouble for not selling the part... So I had to make a decision... either lie to the customer to make the sale or quit as soon as I found a better job... HONESTY AND KNOWLEDGE is priceless....!!!!!
    61
  873. Just a suggestion, I was a tire guy for over 22 years. When I came across lug nuts that were a bit hard to go back on because of thread damage, I would run the lug nut on backwards , then take it back off and put it the correct way. Believe it or not it worked every time and I even had some pretty questionable lug nuts I thought had no hope. Thought I’d share that with ya. Awesome videos bud, I really enjoy them…
    61
  874. Wow! Thankfully everyone is safe.
    61
  875. @RainmanRaysRepairs That "shield" is actually a safety catch it's there in case the pulley bearing seperates so that the pulley doesn't fly around the engine bay doing damage to everything it can before it comes to a stop... fugly or not, TRUST ME, DON'T leave it off. I HAVE MADE THAT MISTAKE ONCE. It cost me quite a bit to replace the upper plenum , alternator, and hood of that Police officer's Tahoe.... really, he was more upset about the K9's reaction to its "Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly" ....
    60
  876. Maybe it is worth reaching out to Cleetus McFarland? I know he is popular around that area, owning the circle track right there , and he is often at the drag strip too.
    60
  877. Maintenance is a lot cheaper than repairs!
    60
  878. Looks like the first jump box had a switch on top that was in the off position. Not sure if that had anything to do with it not turning on. Great video!!
    60
  879. The principal reason the engines are under preforming is the direct injection technology, the seal of the valves can not overcome the carbon deposits on both valves, many engines that have this are suffering this same fate....higher compressions add to this failed design
    60
  880. Ray, it's good to see you're still a man of the people who can spend time on your back underneath a vehicle like the rest of us. Love your stuff.
    60
  881. Great troubleshooting Ray! 😁
    60
  882. Ray, I would just like to comment about your recent discussions of your videos being too long. Please let this be a non issue. Your videos are some of the best on YouTube. If a repair takes 90 minutes so be it, if it's 15 minutes again, it is what it is. Your focus should be on the quality of work, not the duration. I can only speak for myself when it comes to my time, but of you post a long video, I just watch it when I have more time. Keep doing what you and stop listening to people whining about how long they are. Some of us are hear to learn. Length and details provide that learning. Keep up the amazing work and content.
    60
  883. Love your videos! It clarifies so much about what happens when my car drives into the repair bay. And why the bill at the end isn’t so baffling as it used to be. Thanks man! And again, I can’t emphasize this too many times. PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE is the key to avoiding catastrophic failures. That hurts the vehicle and in turn HURTS YOUR WALLET! Roger in Pierre South Dakota
    60
  884. Thanks for your heart felt moment!
    60
  885. Now that's what I call customer service.
    59
  886. I came across your channel about a month ago and I have to say I really enjoy listening to you your banter your humor your explanations for what is happening is exceptional I am going through hard times and I am somewhat confined to the My Home and you’ve been a real delight. I want to thank you and keep up the good work it means a lot to people like us who can’t get out.
    59
  887. Ray @6:09 you said "slip that around the backside". You did not follow that with a GIGGITY. You sir now owe all your loyal fans and viewers 1 GIGGITY GIGGITY GOO.

  889. "Words. WORDS! Things I want to say but cannot!" The most family channel mechanic ever (and we love you for it). Your restraint under pressure is admirable. Don't worry. Us veteran construction workers more than make up for any colorful verbs and adjectives you are forced to repress.
    59
  890. Ray, I find it refreshing that you respond to commenters when you are told about an issue. I once notified you of a change of availability in a tool you were promoting but was not currently available. I'm not looking for a pen pal, but I did find it refreshing that you changed your list. Great respect from this 69 year old DIY everything mechanic.
    59
  891. Everybody gets frustrated troubleshooting at one time or another. I feel your pain brother! By now, I probably would've parked the jeep on the tracks and let Tropicana troubleshoot it! 🤣🤣🤣
    59
  892. Would have been a good time to go visit the men's room to take a good long bowel movement!

    59
  896. Press the button Ray is a good mechanic and always does a good job
    59
  897. "Everything is in the way of everything." Truer words have never been spoken.

  900. Or at the very least, do what the old school hot rodders would do, pick some road in the middle of nowhere with nobody on it to have your fun. Don't do it on busy roads where you can kill somebody other than yourself!
    58
  901. Stick with the full synthetic. You aren't in the business of providing economy service. You are running a premium shop that performs premium services, with premium fluids. Your customers know this and are willing to pay the extra $$ for the best service possible.
    58
  902. Everybody loves a good Saab story !!!
    58
  903. The only reason Ray grew up was to play with bigger toys in a bigger sandbox.😂
    58
  904. Oh rats! You have displayed a new wrench type= ratcheting crows foot. Now I need to buy a set in Imperial and a Metric one. You can never have too many tools. More to the point, you're an excellent technician and I appreciate your videos. These two are great. Many thanks, Ray. Have a Great Day. If you're a father, Happy Father's Day.
    58
  905. That car has been totaled by lack of maintenance. I'm sure it has more wrong than right with it.
    58
  906. Do an oil system cleaning and oil change before you change out that soleniod. Trust me, you'll be better off for it
    58
  907. Man I was slow getting to the video today 🤣.
    58
  908. “How long are we going to stay at the shop?” Is also my child’s question on the way to the shop. 😂
    58
  909. Impressed you have a tool to pull the wiper arms, more impressed you could find such a tool after such little use!
    58
  910.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  all good it looks like a software glitch when a transition is supposed to happen and it just didn’t
    58
  911. I like how no matter what Ray is doing he will imitate the phone when it rings.
    58
  912. The chains you see at the cams do not go to the crankshaft, but to a intermediate pulley. So the chance of the crank b jumping is minimal. One of the camshaft is probably out or the cam is damaged. Occasionally the relucter wheel can get damaged or spin on the cam. Pull the valve cover off and get the motor to tdc and confirm the timing. You should have 12 pin between the marks on the camshaft. It's not unusual for one to be off and the Chrysler computer not set a correlation code. Double check with all data on the pin count, it's mentioned in the repair procedure for the timing chains. I'm not a Chrysler tech but I've done plenty of work on these motors including all the timing chains
    58
  913. Bless him, and his high-beams,
    58
  914. Ray does not need you guys to tell him he does not know what he's talking about, he can do that on his own. Then he'll tell us.
    58
  915. Bloody good job there, mate. You've done yourself proud. Perseverance is definitely the name of the game in these situations. Well done Ray - it's stuff like this that keeps us all coming back for more. No question that there's a whole chunk of the internet cheering and barracking for you and raising a glass to your success. Keep it up Ray, you're a true inspiration.
    58
  916.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  I'm totally clueless when it comes to mechanical engineering, but just curious, could you have slid a hacksaw between the rim and hub and cut through the stud ?
    58
  917.  @mailborder  why do you have to extend a term that derides the quality of a substandard part that comes from a country to the entirety of it’s people? Chinesium isn’t meant to apply to every person with a heritage coming from China, it just highlights the substandard products that historically have been made in China.
    58
  918. Yeah, but Australia? You have a lot less atmosphere there.
    57
  919. You know it'll be an interesting video when mechanics get excited and start calling each other over.
    57
  920. We must have displeased him somehow.
    57
  921. Ray and AvE dropping videos at the same time... hell yeah!
    57
  922. Now that’s impressive!
    57
  923. I love seeing how happy you and Lauren are. It seems as if venturing out on your own was the best decision you could have made. Thanks to both of you for the great content!
    57
  924. See how easy turn signals are. If you start using them it becomes habitual and you use them without having to think about it. And they are free and serve a purpose 😎
    57
  925. When you watch these videos you'd still expect Ray to make the same tone noise when the phone rings. Doodoodoo 📞 😂
    57
  926. I suffer from low self esteem, but your videos like this one really help me a lot. It reminds me that I've avoided purchasing stuff like this. I'm not smart, but I'm not so much a total loser, either. Yeah, I feel pretty good this minute.
    57
  927. We watch 'em all, not 'cause we're crazy, but 'cause we love ya RayRay... That and your videos are interesting & edumacational too ;)
    57
  928. What was wrong with spreading the connector? Beating on a battery post is probably not a good idea. That post moved too much for it's own good.

    56
  933. The overly complicated Skyactive harmonic replicating device with touch interface got him goin’ 🤣
    56
  934. Reeeeeeeee 😂 move the A pillar trim and check on the state of those drain hoses before you parts-cannon a sunroof or seals. A quick Google suggests Jeep drain hoses are two piece daftness, similar to those my Hot-tub-Tiguan. Daft adapter at the roof drain hole just went brittle and stopped sealing to the main hose. Dumped that amount of water down behind my dash and behind the carpet underlay. Filled from the floor upwards with no real evidence of a leak. Nightmare to diagnose, but very much worth a check before you go down anymore complex/costly route.
    56
  935. If I was to ever move to Florida you'd definitely be my mechanic!!
    56
  936. Don't worry buddy, us dealer techs still do it the manual way. The "engineering" way of diagnosing 9/10 turns into a rabbit hole with a bunch of special tools/equipment and scopes, when all you really needed to do was test for power and ground even on the new cars.
    56
  937. I had a customer with a Vortec V6 in a Hyster forklift that spun a bearing worse than this. I recommended doing a crank kit at min but he wanted to try cleaning it up first. I cleaned the crank, threw new bearings in it and cringed as I turned the key for the first time. It ran perfectly, every oil change I checked for any signs of problems and never found anything. 5 years later and 4000+ hours it's still running. I've done some sketchy stuff on my own vehicles knowing there's a minimal chance it'll work much less last and sometimes you get lucky.
    56
  938. I subbed for the cut where you zoomed into the pan when it was leaking on the floor while you were talking.. Laughed my ass off
    56
  939. Good job guys! The world needs kindness like this right now. Praying for Ryan and I will give tonight. Thanks Ray for posting this.
    56
  940. I am still subscribed
    56
  941. I'm just an older woman who grew up in the days when women were actually discouraged from knowing anything mechanical. I watch to learn something (and I always do) and because Ray always puts a smile on my face. I can now sound like I know something when I deal with mechanics and shop managers. I do know I get more respect now when I can speak mechanic language. And I do know more about my car and now can get under the hood, check various fluids, and case out connections and look for leaks. I have yet to get under the car and at my age I don't think that is going to happen. But, you never know!!
    56
  942. Nighttime class is in session.👍👍

  948. Land Rover Spark Plug Service Procedure: Step 1: Position flatbed tow vehicle in front of Land Rover. Step 2: Attach winch cable to tow hook and pull Land Rover onto flatbed. Step 3: Transport Land Rover through gate. Step 4: Unload Land Rover outside fence next to road. Step 5: Close and lock gate. Step 6: Inform Land Rover owner to remove vehicle from premises and to never return. Step 7: Illuminate "We Reserve The Right To Refuse Service" sign. Step 8: Open cold beer and celebrate not opening "Pandora's Box".
    55
  949. Ray, technically, you're not double-dipping. Why? Because each job -- the transmission flush and the brake flush -- have a certain amount of book hours. If you get both jobs done at the same time, that's you being efficient at your job, and therefore you should be rewarded. It also serves nobody for you to essentially give away your services for free, which you would do if you only charged for one of them, but did not charge for the other. And in case you need the best case convincing, just remember: You, the Wife Unit, and the Offspring Units all need to eat. So you charge for both services.
    55
  950. I agree, and I have been in the same spot loading my tools in a truck after parting ways. But after moving on I knew that I was the better man, in that I didn’t compromise my self. I look forward to your new adventures. ​ @RainmanRaysRepairs 
    55
  951. I knew this is going to happen as soon as I saw you drain the coolant. You crossed the line between "being proactive" and "jumping the gun".

  953. We always used a coating of Vaseline on battery terminals. Never had corrosion problems after that. Still remember batteries that had to be checked weekly and filled with distilled water as required!
    55
  954. I am impressed that they contacted you and you get to make your own decision plus they may regain some customers. Thank you for all your content good sir

  957. When you screwed the top cover on there looked to be an unplugged item in the rear of the engine. I assumed you plugged it in. Also I see the Snap on tool truck was there. Spent many a dollar there in the 60's and 70's and still have the tools and toolbox, except for the air tools. I gave all of them over to my nephew when he became a mechanic and I was retired from automotive repair. I became the first certified Master Mechanic at our shop in 1970. If memory serves certifications began in 1968 and I took all the courses and tests except painting by 1970. I imagine there are more tests and categories than in my day. If Memory serves, e had Brakes and suspension, Engine repair and rebuilding; Suspensions; Transmissions and Differentials; Electronics and Tune up; Body and Chassis; and lastly Auto Painting and Finishing.
    54
  958. Ray, like so many of your loyal viewers I want to “Thank you” for your entertaining videos!
    54
  959. Wow. That’s amazing vehicles like this still exist.
    54
  960. Actually...they went to the other shop, shop started on passenger side and couldn't get that lug nut off. That shop watches your videos, saw you removing damaged nuts, referred the customer to your shop. 😉😆
    54
  961. Keep up the great work ray if watched you for a long and watched your channel grow congrats on everything man.
    54
  962. Im not an automotive mechanic, i work in the industry but im no mechanic for then. I am however, in the Canadian Armed Forces as a mechanic and youre videos are not only interesting to watch, but ive learned so much that helps me more with my job than anything else on the internet! Thanks for your informative videos!
    54
  963. Well that was grim. I'll miss my daily meditation 🧘🏼‍♂️ and doo-de-doo-dee. Hope everything works out mate...but it does seem that you have things covered. With your abilities and confidence, there should be no problem. Stay 😎 and good luck old chap (as we used to say in 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿). Keep cooking dude and see you on your next journey onwards and upwards.
    54
  964. I promise that I won't do that again." Ray, you know that means you'll do it again. 😁
    54
  965. Well done Ray. Your boss should be proud of your work ethics. You may have saved him/her if the leak was the missing O-ring.
    54
  966. Ray, you and Lauren make my day with your vids. Keep them coming.
    54
  967. It’s still under warranty right? Also I’m going to wait

  969. Glad you're ok and no crashes despite all the opportunities for a slip up in this short video 🙄 It will take one wreck for him to figure out just how soft the human body is and he won't pull that 💩 again. Sorry, but some have to learn the hard way.
    53
  970. Long time subscriber here. Just wanted to say I hope your health is on the mend. People need their vehicles fixed, and without you there's one less honest mechanic.
    53
  971. Getting ever closer to the 500k subs, keep it up Ray. I still don't know how you keep up with where all the fasteners go when you have a job this big. No matter how organized you may be, it seems like a multiple day job encourages forgetfulness lol.
    53
  972. 4 bolt main block, definitely worth saving !
    53
  973. Can you let us know how much $$$ we raised for your friend…
    53
  974. The front engine mount is a hydraulic frequency dampener that is vacuum operated. It adjusts as needed to facilitate smoother feeling engine performance. It is an on or off VSV valve that activates it. If you want to know more about this engine in particular. The Car Care Nut has a lot of info on these, especially with the revisions and the updates these have. This one should have the updated all metal oil lines for the VVT and the oil pump on the front of the engine.
    53
  975. You do good work Ray. Not all of us are haters and trolls. I appreciate your videos.
    53
  976. That toyota is a biological hazard..how can anyone drive a car that nasty....I'd love to see their home..
    53
  977. 2:42 You started at the wrong end Ray. This side the receptacle is spring loaded, so you insert the lamp, push it in (click) then locate the other end and release. You can do this in the middle so you have equal control of both ends of the lamp. If you use your single point light source instead of the 8 foot lamps you'll have nasty shadows - think sunny day vs overcast day. By the way you're burning the filament with only one end plugged in (did you see the slight orange glow when first plugged in?) - the fixture should be off when re-lamping.

  978.  @bunnygirls556  Go take a flying leap. Take the spam somewhere else.🙄
    53
  979. It may be running smoother because the proper oil level allows cam phasers and sensors to move and operate correctly. I’m not a mechanic, just an avid DIYer. Love your vids! God bless you and yours.
    53
  980. And that is why you film things, “ex” customers are quickly put in their place.
    52
  981. You had me dying when you said "Nissan, the Chrysler of Japan". 😂 Truer words have never been spoken!
    52
  982. Ray, you're doing awesome, I'm glad things are going good for you!
    52
  983. BRAVO SIR, BRAVO!! Proud of you Rainman! 👏🏼
    52
  984. I'm from north of Detroit. I would normally not of tried to take out those bolts from a car up here without heating the nuts up. Let me say I probably would have used a spacer too. But would the correct way would be to replace the bolts and springs? After years of heat cycling the springs can weaken.
    52
  985. I get the ominous feeling that the "click" joke is in response to a bunch of arm chair mechanics flipping about torque specs. If you look real close, most (if not all that I've seen) have a crush washer like a spark plug. Approximately a 1/4 turn after contact is all it takes. It is also important to note that a good tech develops a feel for tightening torque over time. Clearly, not accurate enough to torque a cylinder head but more than enough to know when "tight" is too much or too little. Some techs get it, and some don't. The truly unfortunate part is the ones that don't usually think they do.
    52
  986. Toyota and Lotus teamed up for the Celica Supra back in the 80s and I think they've been doing this ever since. Lotus did the Celica Supra suspension and brakes and stuff and Lotus then borrowed gearboxes and other reliable parts from Toyota to make their cars better. Nice little collaboration and very unusual bedfellows but good stuff coming from odd beginnings.
    52
  987. Let me just tell you how nice it is to watch your videos, your English is so clear and understandable for native Finnish speaking dude.
    52
  988. To paraphrase AvE quoting an old timer who said it best: "Quality tools aren't expensive, they're priceless". I'm a master carpenter with almost 40 years under my belt and was taught from my first day as an apprentice "Always buy the absolute best tool you can afford". I've lived by that ever since and it's never let me down.
    52
  989. Good to see the whole family getting involved in your enterprise! Prosper ON!
    52
  990. Wire wheel on a drill, MUCH safer than a shielded wire wheel. Has OSHA met a mechanic? We find new and amazing ways to hurt ourselves everyday
    52
  991. Never has 2 inches been more important to a man😂😂
    52
  992. I found this channel about a week ago. I really no longer have an interest in repairing my own (or any) vehicles, but I keep watching just waiting for the shop phone (and your reaction) to ring.
    52
  993. I should note: Another good reason to buy off the truck is you're keeping your local money in your community. The Snap-On/Matco/Mac guy isn't hired by them 3. He licenses their name/buys their tools to sell to you. He/she is a business owner that's keeping your money in your city (mostly).
    52
  994. Happiest Father's Day to our children's superhero. We love you always. ❤
    51
  995. Yes, time for a oil change video sure… but what’s really overdue is a proper battery terminal clean! 😅
    51
  996. What is with the negative comments. Rainman Ray does a great job diagnosing vehicles. You can tell his experience by how he uses his testing equipment. The results are not always correct, and he is able to decipher from the results to get him to the correct solution. This guy is very good at what he does !
    51
  997. That 1 down-vote is from the other garage that failed to fix it, and lost a loyal customer, to you!
    51
  998. Repairs alway appear easier both on paper and on YouTube.
    51
  999. This is how I want MY mechanic to treat my car. I want to know if there's something wrong with it. My local garage is honest, but it's a poor area, and the mindset is "cheapest way to make it safe" - which is correct for the lion's share of their customers. I went in with a worn out column shift on my Ranger, and was told "safe for $70 but more if you want it to feel like new". I told them I wanted the works, and got the $70 fix - the mechanic was so proud that he's saved me money over the estimate!

  1000. Take breath man, step away and find your internal balance again. Getting angry ends up with you getting clumsy, that's when accidents happen.
    51
  1001. “The proper thing to do is pull out in front of traffic.” You are definitely familiar with rural Florida.
    51
  1002. Before I go to part 3, I hope that fuel injector, if bad, doesn't blow the new computer. 😬
    51
  1003. I have subscribed since your dealership days, so no sale there. Can't imagine not watching your vids now. So many of us say click and shiny Ray style. You need a click hoodie on merch! With that old pointer style torque wrench.
    51
  1004. Don't sweat it man. You're a great guy and an even better mechanic. Watching your channel this past year has taught me a lot about different vehicles. On to bigger and better things!
    51
  1005. Ray, thanks for going in depth on this diag. I have never seen behind a instrument cluster. It really explains alot about how it works and whats going on. Great content. One of my favorite channels.
    51
  1006. The hot start issue may be because the timing is too high. Maybe put a light on it. Excessive timing will also cause overheating
    51
  1007. As he says often... Have a nice day! But go away!
    51
  1008. Loved the live stream with Wife Unit! I rarely comment because I stream your vids on my tv, but I never miss your vids, and I always hit that like button! Amazed at how you stay calm when bolt gravity occurs. I...say words when that happens!
    50
  1009. I'm not sure what I've been doing wrong when working on a car with rubber gloves on, but after 10 minutes or so my gloves look like they've been through a meat grinder.(ง'̀-'́)ง
    50
  1010. I love seeing colabs between YouTubers. Especially when it’s for a good cause like this. As a cancer survivor I thank you for helping them in their time of need.
    50
  1011. Congrats Ray! Here's to your future success! When you go to SEMA, be sure to run into Danny "The Count" Koker and the Utah folks (Matt's Off-road Recovery, Robby Layton, etc)
    50
  1012. Well, at least it looks like he takes care of this vehicle. Getting things looked at when they start making noise saves you down the road. When you have a lot of rattling and banging, you can’t pinpoint the problem without your mechanic having to check everything, meaning more billable shop hours. Another great job of saving the customer time and money! Roger in Pierre South Dakota
    50
  1013. Ray , we all know that you could have fixed it in 5 minutes . You just wanted everyone to see you sitting in the Corvette . lol
    50
  1014. Other mechanics: $@*?@@$!!# Ray: "This displeases me." I don't think I could have kept my composure under those conditions so thank YOU for doing so.
    50
  1015. A bad ignition coil can generate enough electronic noise that it "swamps out" the signal from the cam sensor. Since the engine ignores the cam sensor below 400 RPM it will start, but after it starts you'll lose the injectors when it switches over to using the cam sensor. (Below 400 RPM the injectors fire in pairs off the crank sensor, but above 400 they fire individually off the cam sensor). Since the engine is a "wasted spark" engine the ignition never uses the cam sensor, thats why it would run on brake cleaner. Unfortunately on most vehicles the only way to diagnose this issue is through the process of elimination. The only "hint" I've noticed is that BEFORE the engine starts dying , the cruise control starts acting weird since the electronic noise from the faulty coil starts interfering with its ability to measure engine RPM....So always ask the customer if the cruise control works.
    50
  1016. I find it so funny that you banter like my husband does when working on a car! Your videos are full of useful information and comedy! Thank you so much for brightening my days.... when my depression is bad, I look up your videos and binge watch them. I truly appreciate you and the videos you make.
    50
  1017. That ball joint stud isn’t broken, that’s the way Fiat adjusts camber😉
    50
  1018. My wife hates it too🤣🤣 Your vids are hilarious.
    50
  1019. I thought I was the only one who still manually packed bearings, I would have expected you to have all of the fancy tools
    50
  1020. Coming along nicely. Was hoping to see the brake clean stash...looking good. ANOTHER!!!!!!
    50
  1021. Have you ever considered selling your videos to the customers? Similar to amusement park rides. I would love to watch the mechanic work on my car and hear their thought process but don't want to be in the way. Might give some peace of mind to see what you saw and did.
    49
  1022. YES! Definitely more content like this. Super educational and entertaining. Ray, watching your videos past 2+years has saved me $1000s in being able to do my own repairs. Don't let the armchair keyboard warriors dissuade you. Great channel and content. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us.
    49
  1023. Ray this job had a lot of challenges and you battled and conquered this Jaguar. Great job as always.
    49
  1024. With it being the Desoto Speedway, you could always trying reaching out to Cleetus McFarland which is also a YouTuber as he is the owner of the circuit track. He might could help you find this person and possibly even help get the word out.
    49
  1025. Its great. I love how it starts with the "poppining ze hood" bit.
    49
  1026. My favorite part is the 5 gallons of gas you poured out of a diesel can. Love it
    49
  1027. Ooh looked here Ray’s gone all fancy with the video even the brake kleen got a remake lol. I love it. Ray making vehicle repairs more exciting one vehicle at a time. This video is NOT sponsored by Exxon hee hee Hey Peetah
    49
  1028. I was a tech for 20 years. I can't even imagine the amount of money we saved people by doing pre purchase inspections.
    49
  1029. Your sub numbers have been flying up lately, your almost famous Ray! You are a good teacher, great at explaining what you are doing and why.
    49
  1030. so much work and time and energy into a repair thats avoided by the use of torque sticks and torque wrench.
    49
  1031. I have spent a terrifying amount of my life watching this man change window regulators and I spend every video worrying about his fingers. Great vid as ever Ray.
    49
  1032. Well, Ray, i can tell youve already made the customer upset with that new oil pan. Its not yellow and therefore wont go NEARLY as fast as it used to. Maybe you could paint on some flames to help with that.
    49
  1033. No regerts.
    49
  1034. Very informational video Ray! I'll be watching more videos of yours. Thanks for sharing this laser cleaning video, I really appreciate it😃
    49
  1035. Ray, I was thinking of you yesterday when I was removing the fuel injectors from my 4.8 Litre Silverado to clean them ( yes I used new o-rings😊) The passenger side was fairly easy, but the drivers side was a PITA because of all the hoses and wiring harnesses😲 I was cursing a bit ( ok a lot😆), so I give you a lot of respect for maintaining your cool when things don't always come off like you think they will. Anyway, my old Silverado is running much better now with no trouble codes😁👍. Thanks man for being an awesome tech and human being.
    49
  1036. I love how Ray is just a normal guy making the best out of his job, filming the more interesting jobs, and posting them, he just so happened to find a gold mine on youtube, its like he’s seen a lot, but knows he hasnt even come close to seeing it all, keep up the good content

  1038. What positive energy! You can hear it in the background noises of happy children and dads doing what they do best. This one was special.
    48
  1039. It's OK watching you and Troy fix things together. The bantering is fine if it's respectful.
    48
  1040. I'll sub. You called it junk, but it is junk...and what is really important is you still looked after the customer's best interests even when they weren't wanting you to. You could have just filled it with water, but it appears you give a shit. That's worth a sub, and a like.
    48
  1041. Glad to see your all safe and sound.
    48
  1042. I watch you each day. Your honesty and opinions are unbelievable keep up the great work Ray

    48
  1051. Rainman Ray - You really should put the like thumbs up on your lift button. I say go whole hog into the joke since it's your shop. I am really glad you are taking this very scary step. I didn't succeed my first time in a different industry but I think you are MUCH better at marketing than I ever will be. I wish you all the best, sir!
    48
  1052. Wasn't expecting a post from you! Hope this is a good omen and that you're feeling better soon
    48
  1053. Send respects to the guy who redid the engine. It almost looks like it’s brand spanking new. I’m very proud to see love one into it and respect for others.
    48
  1054. It's absolutely gorgeous. Take that over any modern "Sports Car"
    48
  1055. As an "old school" mechanic, I'm 50 and have turned wrenches since I was 8-ish. I've been trained from NHRA Pro-stock engine builders, to BF Goodrich, to more oil companies to list. All of it hands on without stepping one foot into a classroom. NO, I didn't attend any of those "we'll make you a mechanic" schools. No, none of this makes me special. Just wanting to get my point across that I am a real mechanic. I'm proud to be a mechanic and to have put my kids through college on a mechanics paycheck. GIG'EM AGGIES!! ANYWAY!! It's really cool to watch someone of Ray's caliber and integrity. OUTSTANDING work Sir!! Hopefully others will learn from his example!! Lord knows we need more like him within our industry. Much respect Ray, You're The Man!!
    48
  1056. Eric O (South Main Auto) put up a great example around 5 years ago "Why I won't just plug a tire". Showed exactly what Ray was talking about.
    48
  1057. So you’re saying that the part that controls timing on the engine is held in place only by friction? There isn’t a key or anything to maintain crank position? Your shop didn’t fail, whoever designed that engine did.
    47
  1058. If you think your mechanic is not replacing the item that they billed you for. always ask for the items he replaced, and do research on mechanics by asking around for references.
    47
  1059. Reputation is everything, as you have shown. Enjoy a well earned retirement.
    47
  1060. Good morning Ray. I know it’s been said before but you are an excellent teacher. You provided useful information for people that are watching to learn how to do the work but it’s also interesting to us who just watch for entertainment. I’m a female retired dentist with back/neck issues, so I can not work on our cars. But I still learn very helpful info regarding car repairs and maintenance. Keep up the great work. And love hearing your children. Have a great day!!
    47
  1061. Profanity always helps attract more subs! Keep it real, getting closer to a million subs every day.
    47
  1062. Thats incredible you put up videos with proof of needed repairs. The person trusts you and pulls the trigger on having the repairs done. You've earned everyone's trust. That speaks highly of your honesty.
    47
  1063. How do you like the off brand scan tool? Never seen that one before
    47
  1064. Lack of empathy is the trait of a sociopath. That's the problem with the corporate structure. The entity has all of the rights of an individual but none of the responsibilities. Its purpose is the enrichment of its owners/investors. If a corporation was indeed and individual and it were to undergo a psychological evaluation the diagnosis would likely be sociopath and that is the individual that we sent all the money to and we are waiting for it to "trickle down". Good luck on that.
    47
  1065. Just a little Monday morning good natured ribbing: They are posts, not beams. Posts run vertically and support beams; beams run horizontally and are supported by posts. This is what is known as a load path, where the weight the beam is carrying is transferred to the posts, which then transfer the load to the foundation. You guys work together so well it's amazing! Keep on rockin' Ray!
    47
  1066. Shocking! An enginerd diagnosis via the interwebz turns out to be insufficient... Who'd a thunk?
    47
  1067. It's refreshing to see you in your own place and not as an employee at your old shop. Good for you man
    47
  1068. You are a class act for not charging them, that was the right thing to do! I would definitely come back to your shop for giving me an honest answer! keep up the good work!
    47
  1069. You should always do a long or 4 part series for Sunday mornings! This made my day! 😉
    47
  1070. Hey Ray you need to tighten the seal packing nut on your lift pump.
    47
  1071. My nephew just bought a '12 Chrysler 300 v6. Sure enough, there was a shiny all aluminum oil cooler hiding under the intake with a puddle of old oil around it. It's a Pentrastar thing.

  1075. I thought you forgot about us! I wake up and watch Ray, this is my life now lol
    46
  1076. In the customer's defense I did this to my truck before. I knew it didn't need a brake job, but I was headed into the mountains for a bit with a ton of weight on a small Nissan frontier (1992), but I wanted piece of mind and so I spent a few dollars to not ever worry (I had a master brake cylinder die on me in a 77 Datsun so I've always had a rule I don't care about going but damn I must be able to stop.)
    46

  1081. DETERMINATE: To de-terminate, repair, restore. Bringing life to the terminated.
    46
  1082. Just stumbled across this video. I was hanging out watching you work when you called out the ugly people. That right there was enough for me to hit that subscribe button. That and you're a dang good mechanic. I don't have much faith left in people either. But it seems I found at least one more decent human out there in this crazy world. Keep up the great work! I just learned something new today.
    46
  1083. And this is what we call "Getting Chrysler'd." All automotive engineers are a-holes, but there's a special place in hell for the Chrysler ones.
    46
  1084. Hey Ray, you took away all the Canada from those backing plates. You replaced them with American ones. This is not good, not good at all. How will those poor thing fare up in Canada? They’ll freeze. That first year up here will probably kill them. Bad Ray, no cookie for you.
    46
  1085. Soon, mechanics everywhere will be wearing body cams and having an internal review board handling complaints. Good news is, you'll be placed on paid administrative leave while investigations are underway.
    46
  1086.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  Those that can - do. Those that can't, criticize those that DO! 50 years in fleet maintenance, plus work as a welder and machinist, if AZZWHOLE "Orion 77" can do better, post the video! Otherwise STFU! Thumbs UP from me to 'Rainman Ray'! Middle finger on both hands to 'NOrion 00'!
    46
  1087. I'm in the front of our motorhome watching you do this repair, meanwhile your office phone rings and from the bedroom I hear my wife say ...."Doo Dee Doo". That actually made me snort. As a former mechanic I love your vids and have to say you're a hell of a mechanic. Your sprinkling of obscure movie quotes and comments make it just that much better and that you call your friend Peter in the same way I do...Oh Pe-Ta
    46
  1088. Customer states : anti glare on transition lens stopped working...
    46
  1089. Your truck is kind of unique. It was called Silverado Classic. GM changed the body style GMT900 for models in 2007. But they had so many parts for GMT800, that they built the 800 but added some parts for the 900 and called it “Classic”. Your mirrors were one of those parts along with grill parts and lights.
    46
  1090. Ray, a big part of my career was understanding people’s thought process in order to best direct a training program for them. It wasn’t easy and you really begin to realize how many different types of people there are. The end of all that was to be able to instill a problem solving regimen in their mind because in my career that was just so vital. Anyway, my point is that you have one of the best problem solving minds. It seems to come natural to you but I enjoy watching you go through your process. Don’t change.
    45
  1091. Hey Ray, just a heads up ya made a little editing mistake and put the same scene in twice: 13:58 and 15:32 Just a heads up, great video as always man! 😎
    45
  1092. Person in the oncoming lane must of been shaken after that.
    45
  1093. Not many mechanic videos come with an element of suspense. Meaning, you left me hanging wondering if you were going to tighten that knuckle bolt. It was a big relief when you did. 😅 That said, what a peach of a Mustang! Looks gorgeous.
    45
  1094. Libertarian is just an adjective that describes a person who feels that you leave your personal opinions on how to control people out of your professional life and let everyone be free to do as they please. “And Liberty for all”.
    45
  1095. I changed the whole control arms on my 8th gen because the exact same bushings that are show in these videos were having tiny cracks (exactly like in the video) and also a big rupture was starting from the edge of the bushing (would have ended like in the video) . The price for the individual bushings and the labor for just pressing/depressing them at a shop (without the labor of installing/uninstalling the arm) was not worth it. Did it all myself , a couple hours of work, car runs fine after the alignment, and I am relaxed that I won't have any front end instability or excessive tyre wear.
    45
  1096. My comment moment is two fold! Firstly Ray I loved the fact you were concerned about Troy's welfare regarding the heat. And how you explained what you were doing with the bonnet catch ( English) for hood! And not to apologize for learning. Troy not sure of your age or work experience, but you could not have a better mentor than Ray. I really hope you have a great future with Ray. Please grab this opportunity to learn and don't get impatient or down hearted when things don't come together first time. Please reward Ray with honesty, integrity and hard work. Good luck to you both....
    45
  1097. Reminds me of that Sling Blade scene where Karl checks the gas tank first thing. "Ain't got no gas in it."
    45
  1098. I'm a mechanical enginerding student, but first and foremost I am an electrician and mechanic with years of experience in both the industrial and automotive fields. A huge problem I see is that universities, mine included, do not teach kids (who most times have no real world work experience) anything about serviceability integration in design concepts. I think it should be a requisite course for an engineering degree.

  1099. Yep. They been blasting me all day cause i had the same issue with a blower motor. Saying its the parts guy they should check it. Well a blower motor is considered an electronic part and cannot be returned if opened. Even showed my old blower motor i removed. Smh
    45
  1100. New tire machine should be a nice addition to the shop 😮 nice to see the shop getting new equipment; it never stops improving keep up the grind ray
    45
  1101. Welcome back Ray, hope you got some good rest. My birthday is on the 17th could i get a Happy Birthday?
    45
  1102. Good for you Ray, I hope this venture works out for you.
    45
  1103. I prefer loading the pads first, allows me to check the pads for proper movement in the slide. A lot of the Autozone pads need hand filing to get them to slide properly.
    45
  1104. Love the overkill on the soldering iron
    45
  1105. I used to work at a Ford commercial vehicle dealership and we used to run into these exact same problems with up fitter bodies the guys that assemble and install could give two shits what happens they just install what is given to them.
    45
  1106. Another epic video! I’ve started saying things like “gravity” and “click” in my everyday life….is there a support group I can seek out? 😂
    45
  1107. Heck I would have asked the customer if he wanted an aftermarket gauge installed. Perhaps you did ask and customer said no.
    45
  1108. That car is a bio hazard. Hey kids, remember, engines need oil to survive. That car finally had enough of it`s owner and had a seizure. lol
    45
  1109. Do you prefill these filters with air, or not?!? Curious minds want to start a comments war! 🤣😱😎
    45
  1110. Rest up, hope you’re feeling ok. My son ended up in the hospital twice with it, once for dehydration and once for hard breathing. He’s 29 and super healthy, rides mountain bikes, etc…won’t even drink soda cuz it’s bad for you. Took him 2 weeks to get back to feeling 80% and two more to get to 100%. Get well.
    45
  1111. Your work in diagnosing has always been Fobulous. 👍 Keep on keeping on! We salute you!
    45
  1112. Yup, I’ll fall on the sword for telling ray to check the theory of operation. I don’t see a two spark plug system often and assumed the secondary coil pack s maybe become operational for emissions control when un burned fuel is detected. Shame on the mess I created.
    45
  1113. You have a lovely family, Ray.
    45
  1114. Hi Matts off road was watching your episode Sept 16 2022 and picked up on comments on your care of your dogs, im a former military dog handler and am use to comments on "looking" after dogs and i have to say if i were a dog i would love to live with you and yours and from a professional point of view your dogs are extremely well looked after and well exercised if they didn't want to run and walk they wouldn't. keep up the wonderful content and great watching from the good old UK
    45
  1115. Had a guy bring in his wrangler because it had no reverse, walking out to it notice a puddle of fluid at rf wheel. Looked real quick and 1/2 the rotor ground away and piston blown out. Gave customer quote on transmission and brake job, of course he declined and drove away. 2 week later comes back bitchin because I didn't do an oil change, still no reverse and no brakes. I was about ready to call the cops, off he drove again after they had a GS do an oil change on the ground. It pisses me of that there are those stupid people out there jeoprodizing other people's live out there.
    45
  1116. Ray I start my day with your videos. Being an ex mechanic myself I understand your pain dealing with car parts and products and manufactures. Keep your head up and try to ignore the noise.
    45
  1117. Congrats on passing 500k subscribers!
    45
  1118. Well worth the trip to Florida. I had taken my car to 5 different shops up here in Nashville before Ray was able to fix it in a couple days and it was sooo nice to be able to use cruise on the way home. And there is still more to tell if he chooses to do so. Thanks again Ray and Lauren!
    45
  1119. I cringed so hard when I saw the filter pliers on the housing!!! 😬 Mercedes endorses topside oil changes, BTW...
    44
  1120. This is actually making me miss my old 95 YJ. Had the 4 banger that couldn't get out of its own way but I loved that thing.
    44
  1121. Buggeration would be a good term. Especially when dealing with a Range Rover.
    44
  1122. Maybe they were out in Utah and had to make a call to Matt's offroad recovery. That would explain the sand.
    44
  1123. I know this is going to cause upset but I will relate some information about modifying vehicles. I was an accident investigator for about 25 years with a large police dept, Since I was also a master mechanic I was tasked to do an inspection of the vehicles involved in major accidents (mostly fatal) and without determining fault report on the conditions found regarding the vehicles involved. I would start with tires, matched? wear, inflation, etc. I would check brakes for condition and proper installation. if there was a problem identified as a possible contributing factor to the crash I would identify that. For instance, I had a fatal accident involving a car that went through a red light and "T-boned another killing the woman driving it. When I spoke to the driver that ran the light he said " I don't understand what happened, I just did a brake job and only had to pump the pedal a few times to get it to work" The fact that he did a brake job came up in the charges by the county attorney and the investigation by the insurance company. In a nutshell he had no experience in doing brake jobs and did not bleed the system correctly. He knew or should have known that pumping the brakes two or more times was not normal or OK. The county atty charged him with vehicular manslaughter and later the insurance company refused to pay for anything as he modified his vehicle improperly. The industry standard for proper nut and bolts for critical components is a minimum of 1 1/2mthreads protruding from the end of the nut. This sort of thing gives an insurance company an "out" to wiggle out of paying. This sort of thing has come up numerous times such as a fatal in which a high rise pickup was involved in an accident where the driver of the truck hit his brakes and swerved, losing control and rolling over crushing a vehicle. Since the truck was modified from standard changing the center of gravity a lot there was a lot of fighting by the insurance company. If the modification is done in accordance with manufacturers instructions and within industry standards you MAY be OK. In todays world lawsuits can be just about anything and are thrown around all the time. THis is just for information not legal advice. From my experience only.
    44
  1124. Want to know why you'll always have a job with repeat customers? Because you're a good human and don't mind doing the full tear down to get to the issue the first time. There are unfortunately ALOT of techs now that just look for easy money and send people on their way. Doing it right just reinforces your integrity and gives your customers the peace of mind that it's being repaired correctly the first time. You work hard and it shows. Keep up the good work man!
    44
  1125. My next move would be this. Next time it happens instead of using a jack stand, lower it down as far as you can and make a loud noise that would make him think it fell on its own and watch the panic as he learns a lesson. I know it would cause me to panic a bit.
    44
  1126. your taking those counter top guys for granite
    44
  1127. Hey Ray :) That tool is actually designed for that car. You're just missing the other half ot the tool. It is a Thexton 419A. If you had the other two pieces for the tool it would have worked like a champ. Cheers buddy!
    44
  1128. So glad there's a longer 2nd part! I felt cheated of my nightly relaxation video. I hope you continue to use the term "Wanker" in your everyday vernacular, It will tickle all your British viewers for sure! It made me laugh out loud. 😂😂 I thoroughly enjoy your working on vehicles that are a rarity, it really shows your willingness to repair anything you can! With regards to the calendar months names, September used to be the 7th month,October USED to be the 8th, etc. But they added July for Julius Caesar, and August for Augustus, which then screwed up the nomenclature for the months. I hope that answers your question!
    44
  1129. And here I am feeling bad I didn't sweep out the leaves and pine needles from my pickup bed when I went in for a service...
    44
  1130.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  Of course I'm joking Ray! Got nothing but love for your channel man! I am a loyal subscriber and will continue to be so!
    44
  1131. As a headphone wearing viewer when you pick up a hammer or a pneumatic tool I automatically say loud noises before you pull the trigger so I save my hearing. Thanks for the training!
    44
  1132.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  I took the sticker at face value. There are many that use patriotism as a shield for their racism. NOT all patriots are racists as some would take it. That's all it meant. Like your vids a lot.
    44
  1133. Keep the short videos coming Ray, keeping the whistle wet whilst we look forward to you sharing your journey into owning your own shop 👍
    44
  1134.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  next up Ray tells all of YouTube to not plug tires. The comment section explodes with tire plug experts who can stack 8 plugs in a sidewall and not have an issue after 13 years of driving 100 plus mph's day in and day out on said tire.... Angry mob lines up outside of Rays shop... Ahhhh the chaos!!!
    44
  1135. So I'm assuming because he won't replace the high resistance injector that the new ECM won't be warranted if it fails again in the same way. Why people do that, I just don't understand.
    43
  1136. Ray I cannot, thank you enough it was great to meet you. You are as entertaining in person as you are in your videos. I’m sure I will see you again, you made me cool again or at least the Firebird!
    43
  1137. I feel like the tranmission fluid covering Ray is a bonus we all get. We get to see that not every job goes 100% according to plan which I know as a weekend warrior I feel like I experience every time I try to do something. Love the video as always.
    43
  1138. Classy way to handle this. I don’t know if I would have kept my cool. Glad everyone is ok. Can’t wait to see an apology video. Definitely need to get me a dash cam.
    43
  1139. Ray, your content is highly educational, but what I want to compliment is your considerable self-filming, narration, and editing skills. That’s right, I just called you a high quality filmmaker. Deal with it. P.S. Love the thumbnail. It’s an eye grabber.
    43
  1140. I've said it once, I'll say it again... FANTASTIC video, AWESOME content, OUTSTANDING production. Keep up the FANTASTICALLY AWESOME content Ray. We will always return for more.
    43
  1141. I love it when the local kmart van drives up. I can’t help but spend my kids college fund on the latest n greatest kmart has to offer.
    43
  1142. Watched them all. Ever since I found your channel. It is neat watching you work and talk through the process. And dodedo.
    43
  1143. I really enjoy your work man. You are an inspiration to my teenage kid. He want's to open his own shop up someday. Keep up the great content!
    43
  1144. 978,000 to go. This IS happening!
    43
  1145. But the CUSTOMER can leave a poor review on the internet!!!! I have, and my review is still there, along with hundreds of others. 😂
    43
  1146. Ray displays an anti-Jeep attitude at time, but I think he has become fully invested in this project to save an old Jeep, they are starting to get a bit rare since even the most recent YJ is almost 30 years old now. My TJ which is 8 years newer is now 20 years old. Thank you Ray, for without you, this Jeep would probably have been scrapped as most shops wouldn't have done the work with your caring attitude.
    43
  1147. I felt like Ray really wasn't pulling his weight when we were lifting that sub frame together.
    43
  1148. At least the guy was smart enough to remove the injector from the cylinder without a coil so he doesnt wash it out with gas.
    43
  1149. "Let's check the electron supply" is the best phrase i have ever heard for a battery check.
    43
  1150. Big Clive's watching this channel? Well i never would have believed that
    43
  1151. Can you imagine what Scotty Kilmer would have to say about this?
    43
  1152. I really enjoy Ray's videos. I am not a hater and I'm not nasty to folks on here. I love watching auto repair stuff and try to do as much as I can with my vehicles. Technology and a stroke have put a stop to some of my efforts. When I was a child I was always underfoot when my dad was working on our family car. My favorite job was greasing wheel bearings. My mother just loved that of course. My dad was always patient with me. OK, and don't get mad because I offer this very respectfully. I know it would be somewhat difficult (not impossible) but I would like to see Ray answer a very good question that a viewer poses every now and then. No hate here. Just an observation.
    43
  1153. Don't forget to return the used parts for extra profits!...😂😂😂
    43
  1154. How the hell do people live like that?
    43
  1155. Retired after 30 years and YES, I did notice when people were "staring" at me, giving the evil eye, or desiring my attention by their actions. Also Ray, all those cameras you were pointing out and the audio are all recorded😲!!!! Further on in the video you commented about fluid degradation and need for exchange. Because of your TEACHING this old fart, I now have fluids exchanged on a regular basis, thanks for that one. 👍👍 Bob in Nevada
    43
  1156. Ray.I've been watching your channel for a long time now and I have to say your a outstanding and honest mechanic.But,Most of all.Your relationship with Lauren is a wonderful thing.Your both lucky to find each other.
    43
  1157. Leaving your vehicle at the shop is like leaving your child at daycare overnight. Great video. Can't wait until Part 2 comes out!
    43
  1158. Some harbor freight wrenches are thinner and can get into places others can’t. Also if I have to heat one up and bend it, or grind one down, I don’t cry
    43
  1159.  @danhillman4523  Plus they are upside down. All the refrigerant would fall out.
    42
  1160.  @WizzRacing  no the crankshaft turns without turning the timing chain if the crank pulley bolt is loosened. I have done this myself when replacing the crank seal. Luckily didn't crank engine and was able to get the timing tools and set it back up correctly. Figured we had a problem when I noticed there was no keyway in the pulley. I was sweating though
    42
  1161. I'm a mechanical engineer and I wouldn't be able to sleep at night after designing fail-prone shite like that. When you need to have a blue moon over your left shoulder and a rabbit's foot in your pocket to prevent an engine from eating itself alive, that's just not kosher at all.
    42
  1162. Cell lot is where you wait to be called to the gate for a pickup. Where the Wife Units wait for their S/O's.
    42
  1163. Its excellent to see you getting more gear for the shop. Now, lets see how quickly you can fill that workbench! 😃
    42
  1164. Words cannot describe how much hatred I have for anything made by Land Rover/Range Rover!
    42
  1165. Holding items by hand while acting on them with a power tool is dangerous for the phalanges. You only get 10, use them up wisely. :)
    42
  1166. That's not a shaft, that's a light pole.
    42
  1167. " but our math models showed it would work as intended!"
    42
  1168. Glad to see you still running this channel after leaving the shop you worked for.
    42
  1169. I got to ask Ray. You seem a lot happier of late in your videos compared to you working at NAPA (Even tho you always sounded happy). But you just seem to shine(?) more! Seems like being your own boss might been the best thing you've done in your career!
    42
  1170. He's using a torque limiting extension so it's all good.
    42
  1171. You've become my routine daily show, thanks Ray! Keep it up 🤘
    42
  1172. Seems like you have a great memory for reassembly of these complex repairs. If it were me I'd be standing over the parts and going "huh" where'd that come from?
    42
  1173. Ray, Before I retired 12 yrs ago my last position was corperate repair for a 13 facility auto dealership in NE Ohio/PA and I saw a lot of what you just went through. Many techs I talked to that had been in other facilities in their careers said it happens everywhere. It does seem to be an endemic feature of the auto/truck industry and I encourage you to consider opening your own shop. May God bless you and your family.
    42
  1174. Anonymity is underrated.
    42
  1175. I can personally attest to the fact that Benzes are not designed to be serviced quickly. I tried rushing to fill the oil one time and it backed up in the valve cover and overflowed. The only way to fill it was slowly, one quart at a time. Then, if there's no dipstick, it takes extra time for the oil level to be displayed. The only thing Mercedes-Benz saved us time on is the canister oil filter location.
    42
  1176. From the netherlands. I really enjoy all your video's, and it doesnt matter if anything fixed at the end or not. I watch it for education and entertainment so every footage from your daily work is always interesting. Thankyou
    42
  1177. Certified Pre-Owned warranties that are backed by the MFG are good, they are essentially an extension of the factory warranty. The next up are the warranties that are extended but also backed by the MFG. GM was GMPP (not sure if it still is) and Ford and Chrysler have them as well. They were always generally pleasant to work with and usually paid whatever the shop rate was for labor. As a transmission tech, on rare occasions they would opt for a good used trans (same or less mileage as the original that came out of the car) that they would also warranty for the duration of the policy. Most labor operation numbers we could just perform without inspection. They would send an adjuster out for major assembly repairs (internal engine, transmission or transfer case mostly). The rest of the aftermarket warranties for the most part were a dumpster fire. A couple of them were okay but I can’t remember which ones. Most of these companies would cover seals and gaskets, but would exclude Cadillac Northstar head gaskets (I was a tech at a Cadillac dealer). Total waste of money. I will say though, at the three GM dealers for which I worked, they only sold CPO or GMPP warranties. Any of our customers that had something else were swindled by an aftermarket warranty company making cold calls.
    42
  1178. Good morning Ray, and everyone on YT. You are now an official in- flight missile repairman...🤣🤣 The stress and pain induced doody doody doo while you were leaning into the engine bay was epic. Just remember everyone have a great day! Greetings from Lake City 🌴🇺🇸😎
    42
  1179. Not at all, I think you handled it correctly .Don't think we all think that way! Keep up the great work!!!!
    42
  1180. I hope everything goes okay for you brother ☺️
    42
  1181. People often ask me why I choose to fix passenger aircraft instead of cars, well the other day I replaced a engine FADEC computer (like a cars engine ecu computer but for jet engines) that cost $750,000, all I did was order it from the stores and installed it...no stupid customers to ask for authorisation or have to justify my decision. 😀
    42
  1182. That yoke spline seized on the Tail Shaft spline. Causes stress on the bearing and housing. Then Bang. This type of thing happens commonly with tractor PTO shafts. Everything must slide smoothly.
    41
  1183. I can never get the Mrs. to understand the logic of having a backup of a backup of an in stock filter. Like having 4 cases of paper towels in backup instead of 3 (was she not paying attention the last 2 years?) Thanks Ray! Oh yeah, bullets! 😀
    41
  1184. When one door closes, another one opens. You are doing amazing things now! Loving the content Ray! God bless!
    41
  1185. It’s a habit I think a lot of mechanics have. I never realized it till you said something about it. I do the same thing here in my shop. ✌️🇺🇸
    41
  1186. Looks like that 4Runner has spent a lot of time on the beach at high tide! "Note from technician - Do not attempt to use tow hooks, they no longer exist" 😆 We need to get you some kind of phone holder that straps to your forehead or hangs around your neck 😎
    41
  1187. I’m so glad you finally decided to pull the trigger on that wall! Now you have direct access to another lift. Smart money Ray!👍
    41
  1188. He wasn’t unemployed, he was on vacation 😎 They said “You’re fired!” Ray said “Uno reverse card click.”
    41
  1189. No doo dee doo’s what the hell’s up with that??😆😂🤣
    41
  1190. Hi Ray, I wanted to thank you for your videos. I initially found you while looking for info on OBD because I was asked to translate error messages for OBD into French, but knew nothing about cars. You really helped me, and continue to do so with every new video. Now that I understand cars better, I can take on more "car-related jobs". My sincere thanks to you.
    41
  1191. Congratulations Ray! Positive attitude as for failing nope your not. Don't burn yourself out and make sure you spend time with your family as they are number 1. Also happy Christmas to you and your family from us in the uk
    41
  1192. "This for you guys in the comments. (You know who you are.)" Yes. Yes, we do. LMAO
    41
  1193. I love the transparency Ray has through his channel. If people think this repair is bad, they must do 100% of their own repairs, since no hired wrench will EVER do it to their liking. Some of the things that get done in shops would really make their Karen/Chad syndrome run to the nearest manager. 😆😆😆 Keep up the good work, Ray! 👍👍
    41
  1194. Don't ya just love how loooooong it takes for the 1234yf machines to go through a charging process?
    41
  1195. The proper solution for Hyundai repairs is to send it to the junkyard
    41
  1196. Make as many videos as you want. Every minute of them gives us viewers either the knowledge or power to repair things ourselves with some competency and or a laugh a minute. You did miss a (gravity ) comment when the bolt from the prop shaft fell to the floor. That bungy cord was about as much use as a chocolate teapot. I love your work, your humour and your videos. I’m an army veteran who served 9 years in the British army as a mechanic. So I feel your pain your relief and satisfaction when the job is complete. Keep up the good work.
    40
  1197. Wish I would have had this video a month ago, could have prevented my buddy from trading off his 2014 Ram with the same issue! Great video as always Ray!!!
    40
  1198. Cleetus McFarland's track is right next door to that dragstrip. Everybody knows everybody down there. He'll be outed.
    40
  1199. Are you sure you want to pressure wash that engine? The alloy is so soft the pressure washer will probably blow a hole in the block.
    40
  1200. On those needle nose pilers that you are going to break more to get warranty. That is called being a thief and a liar. No warranty covers those kinds of things. Tell your supplier what you did and IF he/she wants to warranty it fine, but YOU need to be honest. Other than that, good job.
    40
  1201. Ray, you just sound so much happier and far less frustrated than you were before. So glad you are living your own life. You deserve it. I was sure i saw the stock value of brake cleaner drop by over 80% when you left the shop!
    40
  1202. I love the odd and end videos documenting your different adventures. Thanks for the updates on the truck truck looks amazing.
    40
  1203. It's hard to tell young people that the SUV/mini van they have there heart set on is pos , all the friends are saying "oh that's so cool" , and the used car lot will set it up at 500 a month payments . Then we are trying to tell them to buy the 500 hundred dollar Thirty yr old delta 88 that someone's aunt is selling cause she is moving to a retirement home , if it dies in two or three years then walk away
    40
  1204. You got me Ray, you we’re putting those “angry pliers” on that oil filter and I was all “noooooooo Ray!!!! WHY THOSE PLIERS IT’S GONNA SCRATCH THAT MERCEDES!!!”… Got me Ray! 😆
    40
  1205. Please don’t stop making these “hour” long videos. They are nice to watch and very informative! Keep up the good work!
    40
  1206. I'm watching you all the way from Saudi Arabia, I'm a big fan of you, keep it pushing 😃
    40
  1207. Ray, I'm a tropical meteorologist working on Helene advisories. Debby was a lightweight compared to Helene or any other recent storm. This hurricane is nothing to take lightly there. Though Tampa/Sarasota will not be in sustained hurricane force wind, you may see gusts near 100 mph. It's possible that a surge of 10ft could move into Tampa Bay. Prepare for extended power outages. Rain may not be as bad with this storm since it'll be moving north at 25 mph as it passes.
    40
  1208. I blame scotty for telling people on the internet that mechanics are crooks… I also tell people why if you don’t trust a mechanic then why not do the work your selves. 😂👌🤷‍♂️
    40
  1209. I use a ziplock bag with greese in it to repack bearings. just drop the clean bearings in the bag, close it and squeeze the greese into to the bearing.
    40
  1210. I know that every time I watch a Ray video, I feel like I am getting an expert-level class on how to do proper mechanics and diagnostics work while not ripping people off. Keep up the good work, and I am so glad your independent shop is expanding and doing so well. I am also glad you have been able to hire an additional mechanic so you can help more customers. I wish I lived closer so I could have my vehicles worked on by Ray and Co. Keep up the great work
    40
  1211. I like your style. You use the right tool for the job, maximizing the effectiveness, and just as importantly, minimizing the risk of damage to customers' equipment. I think one of the reasons your videos are so popular is that it is refreshing to see clearly that good people are still out there, doing things the right way and doing them with a smile. Have a great day!
    40
  1212. ​ @08peter1966  The jack stands aren't holding it up, he put them there for safety until he can figure out how to get the car down.
    40
  1213. Dude you must work like a mad man.. constant good content like this.. thumbs up from me!
    40
  1214. Ray I never broke down on a test drive but I did crash a customers vehicle coming back from a test drive when I was at a autobody shop. It was winter in Chicago, snow and ice one customer was picking up their vehicle that just had the drives door repaired. When I pulled in the parking lot of the shop I hit a patch of ice and slid right into the same door that was just fixed as the owner watched. It cost me just a rental car for the customer as I did the body and paint work on both vehicles. The shop owner was going to pay for it but I told him I screwed up and I will pay for it.
    40
  1215. The best close up diagnosis/repair/replace/test videos on the web. You are RIGHT THERE with every bolt, nut and clamp. Great work again~!
    39
  1216. "Go in your home!" I love that saying, I use it alot in my job
    39
  1217. I like the longer videos myself. Your videos are like eye crack and are very informative. Hell my 10 year old son sits here and watches these with me. So you must be doing something right.
    39
  1218. Mustang owners being mustang owners. Just as scary as bmw kids
    39
  1219. Wait, you’re extending the extension with another extension!? You’re a madman! Who would do such a wild thing!?
    39
  1220. Ray this video is the highlight of my week. Everyone was asking me why I've been so grumpy and I keep telling them the sunroof isn't fixed yet - and they have no idea. They just don't understand. Finally the end is here. Thank you Ray. Thank you.
    39
  1221. So much potential in your new shop, it's going to be great to watch it grow and evolve. Don't forget to have fun, because your living out the good old days!🙃
    39
  1222. Ridgebacks are excellent dogs. I had one. They don't bark a lot, and are quietly protective of their family. Mine broke a tooth off in a burglar and got a titanium implant.
    39
  1223. Customer states: “SHOP RIPPED ME OFF! I saved money by doing own diagnosis but they still didn’t solve the issue!! Guess they don’t appreciate the help🙄”
    39
  1224. Love the "censorship"
    39
  1225. As a 20 year BMW owner, it drives me CRAZY to see Indy shops not using the correct “puck” inserts to lift these cars. Placing the lift arms without those pucks impacts and deforms so the inserts no longer fit. I have a few extra here and I’m 15-20 minutes from your shop Ray. I’m gonna bring you a set!
    39
  1226. No matter where you are, there you are. Buck-a-roo Bonzia.
    39
  1227. Bill, when are you going to delete your comment? Everyone is making fun of you! Ray even pinned the comment. He is even pro enough to not comment himself.
    39
  1228. “I’m hot and tired and my coffee has worn off.” Been there, done that.
    39
  1229. That 5.6 HR.S must have been " THE NORTHERN MANUAL " where everything is rusted too hell. I had an alternator or maybe a starter I was fighting with for a 1/2 HR. to get it out, I just walked away for a bit & it fell out all by itself ? GREAT VID. AS ALWAYS SIR.
    39
  1230. Great job Ray 👍 watched all 3 parts.
    39
  1231. Troy is doing an excellent job keeping the shop clean and organized - even your cart! 😄
    39
  1232. My favorite: the guys saying it’s fucked sideways! 😂
    39
  1233. hey ray that sounds like the ATARI games back in the 80s😂😂
    39
  1234. Dude your channel is growing really fast! Congrats on that and thanks for all the great videos so far
    39
  1235. Ray, have watched a bunch of your videos, never felt compelled to comment before. I have a couple of reasons I am willing to take the time to watch your videos 1) Your biting comments and the fun you poke at everything, I get it. 2) I always learn something 3) the "Ray-isms", Click, Do De Do, and the list grows. Remember "When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro" Thanks to Hunter S. Thompson for the quote. Peace out
    39
  1236. Yeah, it wasn't polished and chrome-plated so it won't make an electrical connection.
    39
  1237. Love watching this channel. You learn some very important things and also you get some comic relief. I will be a long time subscriber.
    39
  1238. First time we saw a flashlight retrieved with a wrench!! 😂😂. Keep those anomalies coming!!
    38
  1239. Congratulations on the fix. Can tell there's some weariness going on. It's a massive achievement in such a short time. Give yourself a break, everything is awesome.
    38
  1240. 6.12 am here in England, woke up to find a new post from Ray. Life is good. 👌🏼
    38
  1241. There’s your problem no filter. Like a dirty air filer in a car.
    38
  1242. I am a friend of the Tosi family and just had to thank you so much for this incredibly kind gift!! I was in tears a few minutes into this video. Thank you for blessing my friends and for encouraging us all to look for ways that we can help others!
    38
  1243. Ray you might be having a bad day but the person involved in the accident and the truck on fire is REALLY having a bad day. Glad it wasn't you! Feel better too.
    38
  1244. Alignments don't fix vibrations and shimmys.
    38
  1245. Ray, before I started watching you I knew zip, zero, and zilch about vehicle repairs. Now I am no longer clueless and have a tiny bit of knowledge that I hope continues to grow. Thanks for making me so happy.
    38
  1246. The camerawork is phenomenal on this!! Hope to see more like it!!
    38
  1247. I saw a Banks short on why you need that correction controller on their AirRam intakes... The intake being larger means that you get lower velocity of the air going past the sensor which throws its readings off and can cause an engine management light + limp condition. To combat this, most manufacturers add a velocity stack into the intake which reduces the internal volume but solves the MAF value correction problem. Instead of doing this, Gale and his team created the MAF correction device so that it sits inline and pulls the readings off the MAF, corrects the values to make sure they're being reported back correctly then feeds them to the ECM, meaning you can have far bigger intakes and not have problems with the MAF failing to pull accurate numbers. Clever stuff :)
    38
  1248. You've got me thinking about whether I've missed a failed viscous fan clutch in the past. Another thing on the list of possible causes of engine overheating, poor AC performance, and noise.
    38
  1249. Best YouTube channel around. Love the content Ray.
    38
  1250. Ray, this video shocked the entire car industry!
    38
  1251. I was laughing so hard about the retainer and you stumbling with the sequence to install it. 😂😂 Good thing the customer saved the original! Hope you, Lauren and the kids have a wonderful Thanksgiving ✌️
    38
  1252. Remove engine to replace oil filter,😂😂
    38
  1253. I catch flak from some guys around the shop for this too, if it’s assigned to me.. it’s MY repair order, it’s MY short block, and I’m going to test drive MY titan.
    38
  1254. The intake tube is a duct, why not duct tape? Seems legit, just didn’t apply it properly! Love home repairs.
    38
  1255. Ray!! I think you need a service cart with BIG rubber wheels for the parking lot.
    38
  1256. When the customer says they have someone that will fix it cheaper, what they really mean is that they have someone that will "work on it" cheaper. Working on it and fixing it are two different things, ha ha.
    38
  1257. Ray and Rich, Thank you so much for being the upstanding honest men that you have become. And Thank you for hours of entertainment. I rush home just to watch you two. Powering down DOOOOOOO!
    38
  1258. HAPPY FATHERS DAY TO ALL THE FATHERS, DADS, DADDIES HERE!! Ray, thank you for this Fathers day treat... an afternnon with Ray and a cold adult beverage. What a wonderful blessing of having to of the best techs/machanics in the business working on your vehicle... and having it properly repaired. I pray that you, Wife Unit and along with the Munchkin Units had a wonderful, relaxing, and refreshing vacation! The faithful have missed our daily fix of Rainman Ray. Enjoy a cold adult beverage and charge it to my account good sir.🙏💜
    37
  1259. For nearly 200K miles that engine is clean inside.
    37
  1260. Hi Ray! Greetings from Brazil! Great to see you all well after this hurricane, God bless!
    37
  1261. Thanks Ray. Like Vu Ja De all over again. Think I watch this as a hidden release. Nice work.
    37
  1262. the customer really takes care of his car and that's okay
    37
  1263. "... weld-resistant Snap-On pliers" You couldn't resist it, could you? 🤣🤣
    37
  1264. Everyone is a genius and an expert mechanic while watching a real mechanic work!
    37
  1265. Let's not forget sarcasm.... as Ray never is sarcastic.
    37
  1266. Needed to have some Iron Maiden playing in the background for this.
    37
  1267. Having been a mechanic on heavy mining equipment for 41 years I can honestly say take all safety precautions that you can because bad things happen and they happen faster than you would imagine
    37
  1268. My favorite part of watching your videos is reading the comments of people trying to sharp shoot you after the job is already done and gone. I really love trolling this type of person because I know what it’s like to mechanic every day.
    37
  1269. " You need to know what you're doing so you don't die." ... I want that on a tee shirt.. and coffee mug..
    37
  1270. Ahh yes i remember cutting so many rotors and drums on the old AMMCO back during my apprenticeship. As time has gone on and brake materials have changed, it has seemed to fade away except in some medium duty application's
    37
  1271. Awesome save with the tow truck!
    37
  1272. That, was,.......AWESOME. Also, nice altitude. On a serious note I'm very glad everyone is safe. I'm also glad you and your shop are doing well. I'm really glad you could laugh about this video. Very cool you got it on camera.
    37
  1273. Once again Ray, your videos are more interesting than anything on TV, even on a Saturday night! Well done Sir!
    37
  1274.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  You were 0.6% off on the CCA value. REEEEE! That battery might have had another 3 good days!
    37
  1275. He only found it because it wasn't a 10mm.
    36
  1276. Nice clean work as usual, I hope the shop weathered the storm ok.
    36
  1277. Maybe cleetus or his crew could help, they got a lot of people over there.
    36
  1278. You are one of the best mechanics I’ve ever seen. I was a mechanic back in the day, the 80,s and 90s. And I can’t understand why anyone would give you crap about the job you’re doing. You’re one of the best, and I love your interaction with Eric O.
    36
  1279. Good luck Ray, happy to see the start of your successful venture!
    36
  1280. I did not know how to do a thing with cars. I started watching your vids and it got me thinking. The. My wife’s radiator decided to blow up and that was my first ever car repair. You motivated me to start working on cars and that led to my confidence to try new things. Like installing a sliding glass door. There was a lot of unfriendly words that day.
    36
  1281. NICE! So, 1-2 were bad along with starting to spin 6. I had my fingers crossed on both hands when you started bringing up the rpms. Good job Rainman! You can walk around with a bit of skip in your step after that one. Cheers!
    36
  1282. Loved the tactical dive through the doggie door. Thanks for the update. Be safe!
    36
  1283. 15:01 You said "...worst thing that can happen..." when it's clearly NOT the worst thing. It's a lot closer to the 'second-best thing' and the "worst thing that can happen" in most situations is gravely bad. "Sure you should ask her out. What's the worst that can happen, she says no?" No, something in vicinity of 'worst' is that her crazy ex identifies you as the person standing in the way of their relationship with their one true love and soulmate and decides to puncture your brake lines right before your trip to take your grandmother and niece to visit your brother and his family up in the mountains. Then your brakes fail down a steep grade, you crash into a bus full of nuns which catches on fire, your niece and grandmother expire over the next 6 painful weeks in hospital, you're paralyzed from the neck down and your whole family blames you for the death and destruction caused by the wreck.
    36
  1284. Gotta respect a man that knows his limitations instead of letting his ego get him in too deep then having to make excuses to get out of it. Much respect!
    36
  1285. :50-1:00 "what's that a diesel?" "They call this a Buick." 😂🤣👍
    36
  1286. How many Points do you get if a Salesman walks behind your truck when backing up?
    36
  1287. Hey Ray, Just wanted to say I enjoy all your videos on both channels. Keep up the great work and have a great day!
    36
  1288. Try doing that hub bearing in Wisconsin! Beat, Heat, and Cuss!😂
    36
  1289. Redemption achieved...Love the bone yard, never know what you'll find, or what you couldn't comprehend, that you needed....
    36
  1290. I have no clue why I just watched a standard brake job I do every day at work, but I regret nothing. Deserves a sub if you can hold my attention the whole time like that.
    36
  1291. You need to invest in a decent bit sharpener. The bit is only broken at the tip and will re-grind. Never throw them away, they can be salvaged. Start by centre punching so your bit doesn't wander and forget the high speed bit. Use a slower speed and keep cooling. That way you won't burn out the tip. Hint: for next time get a mill bit and then once you have drilled into the stud you can mill it out to the side. No chipping with the air hammer required.
    36
  1292. cool intro and yes it will be back for sure, really seems like that sort of customer.
    35
  1293. Hope you get him. Happens way to often around here.
    35
  1294. P RO has made 286+ comments on Rays channel. He just sounds salty that Rays channel is doing better than his, and Ray is only a "parts-swapper" 🙄 75+ years old creating drama in the comments section👍
    35
  1295. Tell me why I keep gritting my teeth, twisting my phone, grunting and sweating along with you? Enjoy your vid's tremendously.
    35
  1296. We used to have to smoke test jet engine gearboxes after overhaul to make sure the carbon seals were tight. Our smoke machine was a guy named Woody - a 2pack a day man.
    35
  1297. Like you, I am a MECP certified installer (both audio/video as well as security specialist), though I left the business in 2014 after 25 years due to physical pain caused by getting under too many dashes, and I totally concur with your assessment. Also, I have stopped the video at the point he is getting in the truck and listing the customer complaints. The first thing I noticed was Ray saying that series wiring lowers the impedance and parallel raises it, which is totally backward and incorrect. The two 2ohm speakers he showed, if wired in parallel, will drop the impedance seen by the amp to 1ohm, which he mentioned is what the amp is built for. I will play the video momentarily to see if Ray catches this. The first thing, though, that comes to my mind, is NEVER take a vehicle to a mechanic to get the audio system repaired. No offense to Ray, but we are specialized experts in the field of automotive electronics. Mechanics do not do on a daily basis, or even weekly or monthly, what we do daily and for years. We have studied our craft and we know the details. We have been specifically tested in our knowledge of automotive electronics. Ray knows far more than I do about automotive repairs, and I would be happy to have him work on any of my vehicles at any time, but I guarantee you that we know more, by a factor of 10, about automotive electronics than he will ever know. If you want expert advice and proper installations of automotive electronics, take your car to an MECP certified installer.
    35
  1298. Lauren trying to keep those clowns in line is like trying to herd cats. God bless you girl.🤣🤣🤣
    35
  1299. I love the constant tool dropping. Makes it more realistic because that's what happens folks 🤣. Other people cut it out of the videos but we all do it more than we care to admit
    35
  1300. Love that steering wheel. They can go to a junk yard and get one for 20 bucks.
    35
  1301. Forty yrs ago, working at a Toyota dealer... as a service customer walked through the door, accompanied by the stench of roasted engine, and proceeded to tell me the "low oil" light was on, and they needed some oil. Too bad the car didn't have such a light.
    35
  1302. A line wrench works well to depress the clips on the parking break cable
    35
  1303. "Let's Ace Ventura this thing into the shop" LOL never heard that one before. When you see a duct break like that I'd be willing to bet junkyard parts will also be broke the same way. Always great to wake up, get coffee and see what Rainman has for us.
    35
  1304. When a dealer cant fix something why would anyone buy a new vehicle....it can't be repaired either plus you're making 40k in payments...
    35
  1305. Sounds like Ray has a trainee.
    35
  1306. Your late.😂🤣😂🤣🇨🇦
    35
  1307. Not a sellout at all. Its a good thing you're making the effort to meet with them and go to the factory.
    35
  1308. Cool! It’s fun watching you work your magic on your own vehicle, and in your own mechanical shop. 👍🏻
    35
  1309. this dude came up in my recommended a few moths ago an i haven't been able to stop watching since. can't wait too see what this project has to offer!!
    35
  1310. OMG you really did it, you bought the skeeve wagon... lol at least you saved the junkyard from having to touch it just yet, think even the junkyard dog would've been grossed out by this one!
    35
  1311. YAY, I was beginning to worry. As someone once told me, those tires are the ONLY thing between you and the highway.
    35
  1312. As a hard-working, dedicated business owner, it is absolutely critical that you have an employee to remind you that it's time to stop and go home!
    35
  1313. Ray, you and Rich are the people that make this country great. You guys worked hard and bettered yourselves. I enjoy your videos and your comments. Keep it up guys. I am a 70 year old retired engineer. I work on cars, repair equipment and enjoy fixing stuff too. Keep it up guys.
    35
  1314. Nice to see the new shop start to come together. Best of luck Ray.
    34
  1315. Ray, loved the intro ! Your video editing skill are awesome along with your commentary ! Your brutal honesty is hysterical. I wish more people would watch your channel , maybe they would take a hint and clean and maintain their vehicles better.
    34
  1316. I enjoy watching you do your work. I worked in a shop with 22 techs as a warranty administrator. (Dealership) I never doubted what the techs were doing and amount of time it took them to do the job. I often shared my admiration for their skills and made every effort to make sure I could get them everything I could from the factory and be able to keep in a warranty audit. Good techs are a valuable asset to any successful business.
    34
  1317. I think that hose may have been the problem. One thing I noticed is that you visually inspect the entire evap system. I have found hoses to be a common problem. They get old and rotten. As with everything the newer vehicles seem to have this issue more than older ones. I pretty sure it's due to low grade hoses being used. God bless
    34
  1318. Y'all are absolutely awesome...! I'm so glad to be local to you, Ray...! And my 95 f150 has been in your shop... Eric, don't stop being you...!!! Keep up y'alls awesomeness...!!!
    34
  1319. Ray I been watching for the last several months with my wife. Her and I always say I am surprised you do not have your own thing going. I am hoping for your best endeavors and invest in yourself. I look forward to more :)
    34
  1320. Oh Ray, don’t skip the intro, because I’m super glad to be here! 😄
    34
  1321. The walnut blaster works well. One thing though, eventually you will have to replace the media as it will get worn. This is a very good teaching video for people who don't understand about DI's bad side. I know you watch I Do Cars, did you see his tear down of a modern diesel? Some of the intake ports were almost completely blocked. The downside to cleaning them out is the complexity of getting to the ports to clean them. You started your shop with four bare walls and you have invested heavily in equipment upgrades. Bravo! You may find that your shop is not big enough.
    34
  1322. I have found that either diesel, or kerosene works great in a pump spray bottle to help flush as much of this gunk out, a garden sprayer with a simple copper tube works great to get into the oil drain hole.. obviously removing the pan is ideal, however not cost effective on some vehicles. another good option is to put a quart of system lube cleaner like liqi-moly, or seafoam... run it for 20 minutes and flush the oil out. do this for the next 2-3 oil changes.. another "farmer trick" was to fillt he entire engine block with kerosene, or diesel, (fill, or at least spray in cylinders some MMO), and let it sit for a few days. then drain it all out, fill with new oil, change filters.. would free up some mildly stuck motors, and remove any sludge in the crankcase.
    34
  1323. Don’t say that now he’s going to run back out lol
    34
  1324. Glad you're back Ray, we are all happy to get our daily dose of mechanical zen.
    34
  1325. Actually I'm impressed that the gears in that are metal. I would expect them be plastic so the break sooner
    34
  1326. As you're removing the hub assembly I'm like "Wait so it just comes right off?!? No wailing on it with a BFH??"
    34
  1327. There was an accident up here in Michigan that was caused by an aftermarket steering wheel coming loose. That anger is totally justified.
    34
  1328. I liked your vids before and would skim through and watch on occasion but since you moved into your own shop, I find I enjoy them more and watch all the new ones. Maybe its because you are less restricted or the vids have more of a "vlog" type vibe? I enjoy the personal aspect and going about your everyday life activities. Whatever it is, keep doing it.
    34
  1329. Hope they are back when the clicking starts when they turn and not because they had Bob replacing the parts and their tire went flying.
    34
  1330. Typical scenario of "While I am in there"....... Fantastic Video Ray... Keep the series coming.
    34
  1331. I know it wasn't planned. But I'm sure the family appreciates the time they get to spend with you. I'm betting it's going to be some long hours getting your new venture up and running. Spoil them with your time while you can.
    34
  1332. I’m mad as hell because you connected those wires. Just kidding, good durable fix.
    34
  1333. Glad to see you're using the gravity-assisted lubricant velocity technique. So few people understand just how important this is to insure the lubricant makes it all the way to the lower rotating assembly.
    33
  1334. Getting the torsion bar out of the way: In Florida, “it’s just four bolts” In the rust belt, “Stay tuned for pt4”
    33
  1335. Good to see your shop continuing to grow. Not only expansions and more lifts but more staff as well. Congrats Ray
    33
  1336. This is possibly the best comment ever!
    33
  1337.  @0rnery  lol, all I can say is if you Google it it ran in that price range. What I can say is that I do a lot of my own repairs but there was no way I was going to attempt the rack replacement with out a hoist, lol. The steam pipe was only 4 bolts but it was what had to be removed to get to it. He did say that he might post a video on the steam pipe replacement. All I could say is that it was money well spent 🙂 !!!

  1339.  @etherealrose2139  "Shaking doesn't produce pressure." Tell that to every can or bottle of carbonated drink that has blown up in my face. Check and mate, sir/siress.
    33
  1340. I'm pretty sure once Ray saw what rig they brought to tow it with he already knew it was going to make for some good content. Lol. Some people just don't have the smarts. 😂
    33
  1341. Hey!!! That's an SE.......Sludge Edition.....
    33
  1342. Ray, you are amazing. Your knowledge and skills are second to none, which is why we all love watching your videos (well, that and your great sense of humor). Have yourself a great day!
    33
  1343. For those of you who don't know, torque to yield bolts stretch as you tighten them so they are not reusable.
    33
  1344. Wow old school mechanic here never thought any were left,guess that one went out the door with no guarantee, but A+++ for effort and it worked, I was a generator mechanic with the 101 Airborne in Vietnam I would take parts out of one to make another work sometimes because it was so hard to get a replacement never changed spun bearings though, we were good abought our oil changes mostly carb and electrical issues, you are an inspiration!
    33
  1345. Dropping that crush washer into the cylinder would be the “piston delete mod”! Lol 😂✌️✌️
    33
  1346. After getting all my tools up 5 stories to the roof I set up to continue to pull vacuums for 63 split AC units I have a great video to watch. Gooooowd stuff Ray. Stay safe and be well. Have a great rest of your day bud!
    33
  1347. Thumbnail: a guy in a suit working on cars WITH 3 ARMS
    33
  1348. I'm shocked to see bigclive.
    33
  1349. This might be a pre recorded video 😂 all videos are pre recorded I know but this one might’ve been recorded before Troy left since Ray is in Vegas at the moment.
    33
  1350. Ray Ray Ray... You must realize and accept that MeRCedES owners are in a higher class than you. You are just a peasant who should be honored to service such a high class person as her highness. You should always put their sensitivities ahead of anything you may need to do in order to please them.
    33
  1351. As good as that engine ran, you can install my parts reversed anytime you want! Never take that REEEEEE’ing to heart.
    33
  1352. You have to remember some people will bitch and whine no matter what tools you use or don't use. I always buy the best I can afford at the time
    33
  1353. I would think the control arm would have dissipated the heat since it was welded from the bottom, and not the top, secondly, how many miles did the ones that were in there last? They were welded as well. No one is saying that was the "optimal" fix. But, I suspect with the way the customer takes care of the car, he'll find brand new Factory OEM lower control arms and supply them for replacement. This gives him time to order them in.
    33
  1354. “They call me tater salad” what a classic.
    33
  1355. In my personal experience, tires that are wearing out their outside tread faster than their center tread tend to be under inflated.
    33
  1356. Anytime I do these I long block them personally. They always have oil pressure that is way to low. High volume pump only masks the real issue for a little while but long block solves the issue every time 👍🏽
    33
  1357.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  Yes. Anybody can buy as many 12 oz cans of refrigerant they want but when I went to buy a 30 lb cylinder for the school I had to send them a copy of my 609 certification. Makes no sense.
    32
  1358. Get well, Brother, was growing concerned! Our Prayers are with you!
    32
  1359. Hang in there Ray. You do such an amazing job working on cars for a living while videoing everything… I have had this happen to me at my place of work, I know the frustrations it causes. Amazing work Ray!!!

  1360. On these rotors, our shop learned that aftermarket Chinese rotors have inconsistent quality. We’ve discussed this with vehicle owners countless times to where we just refuse to use these garbage parts. It’s a safety issue, so just stop going to Starbucks for a pay period and purchase quality parts. Your life depends on it.
    32
  1361. Finally!!! Was excited for part two!!😁 keep up the great work Ray, I’ve learned a lot form your videos
    32
  1362. Mercedes hoods can be opened further by unlocking the hinges. Then it is opened by around 90°.
    32
  1363. Now this is a company that knows PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE pays off in the long run! Well Done! Roger in Pierre South Dakota

  1364. Hey Ray, I don't know if you know this but when you said "Watching the paint on the grass dry" at 6:45 that actually has a name, it is called a malaphor. There are some hilarious malaphors like: You hit the nail right on the nose. Let's burn that bridge when we come to it. One man's goose is another man's gander. The list goes on.
    32
  1365. I geeked out on this one. I love classic, old US made tools, especially in their original packaging. And they work so well too.
    32
  1366. I dunno if it can be considered I Do Cars style with how easy that dipstick came out, ya didn't even have to sneak up on and surprise it lol
    32
  1367. Oh my gosh. 7:19 this is why we love you Ray. Thanks for continuing to make us all happy with constant uploads.
    32
  1368. Velociraptor! I laughed like a kid when you said that … I thought I was the only one that called these cars that.
    32
  1369. Recheck the purge solenoid. Which is ground controlled. Just because it's clicking doesn't mean it's sealing. A leaking purge solenoid will also cause your lean fuel trims.
    32
  1370. I personally actively try to find creators with viewpoints different than my own. I was taught at a very young age that you can't really grow as a person if you're surrounding yourself with only one viewpoint of the world.
    32
  1371. Hi Ray. Love your videos. Why don't you expand the "must have" tools that you're affiliated with? I'd like to know some of the tools you use in your videos. If you put the vehicles you work on in the titles, you'd get more hits and make it easier for people to search on your channel. Just recommendations and thanks for the great content.
    32
  1372. This was so anxiety provoking. The best video I’ve see in a long time. Thanks for taking us along with the struggle. I need to watch it again now that i know you got the o2 out so i can relax while watching.
    32
  1373. "I just came in for an oil change. Don't try to up sell me on brakes."
    32
  1374. Not fond of that low intake
    32
  1375. Good morning Ray everything looks like it's moving along pretty good in your new shop. I believe you're going to make it good I believe God's blessings are upon you , thank you for taking the time and the hard work and making these videos I enjoy them they educate me, and of course other people but again thank you.
    32
  1376. Nicely said!! 🎯👊🏾 💯
    32
  1377. Hello, ray. I just wanted to tell you. Your channel is my all time favorite channel. I've been subscribed to you for years. Even back when you work at somebody else's shop before you had your own. I've been watching since then. I just wanted to thank you for the informative videos. You gave me a different perspective on when it comes to approaching me working on my own vehicles. I just wanted to say thank you for all the positive energy that you put out. The world needs more people like you.
    32
  1378. As a former forklift tech I get where you're coming from, and because forklifts are plant equipment everything is horrendously expensive. Some customers that OWN their fork are happy to spend a bit to keep it safe, and that usually ends up saving money in the long run. Others have wrecked wheels and other components that are causing problems elsewhere and all they want is a basic service, no replacing anything. Their profit margin is all they think about but there's no convincing some. If their unit's rented through our company, our rental department pays for parts and they want to be skinflints too. Wheels so worn that the anti-tip skids are scraping on the floor etc. Many times I came across such units and just bit the bullet and replaced all wheels because the fork could barely make it in and out of the factory doors because it was bottoming out. Afterwards the customer is over the moon as it had been that way for a LONG time and now feels brand new, improves their productivity rather than having to struggle day after day with something that barely functions anymore.
    32
  1379. Different or not always good to take a learning journey with you👍👍
    32
  1380.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  I think our detective (who belongs to neither of us, despite the plural-possessive determiner!) needs to watch the Ford engine video too, he'll be envious at the range of cars you "own" and the amount of parts "you" can afford if they watch more of the channel!
    32
  1381. It's nice to see your wife hanging around and helping out with you in this one. Hope you've both been having good holidays.
    32
  1382.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  ...thing of it is that you would defend their right to display it while at the same time they will make sure to tear down anything that "offends" them....like u said, "hypocrisy".
    32
  1383. Ray your opening introduction to your channel is misleading😂 you always say this is gonna be a very good video. You should say this is gonna be a very, very good video. Why? Because your content is just awesome. Not only are we entertained, we are educated at the same time. We got big love for you and the Rainman Ray family.
    32
  1384.  @rrfields65  this would definitely help get rid of the rubbing but it's not a fix all solution, the bracket being bent could cause a myriad of other issues big or small. Being liable if something else were to fail or cause issue, I wouldn't want to grind away at the brackey myself. I'd say the customer would rather have a proper fix as well
    32
  1385. Gotta love the non professional’s acting like they know everything. My most used tools are snap on because the quality is better and their warranty is great. Otherwise if I will rarely use it I’ll buy something cheap because why spend so much for something that you barely use?
    32
  1386. Well so much for ignition on and press the gas pedal 3 times to reset the oil change reminder
    31
  1387. Good thing you documented your work and by doing so you can show your intentions were good. That check light was already on as you cycled the key from the get go. Scam artist are every where, keep up the good work by video taping of your trial and tribulations. We will watch em as long as you make em.Hey have a great day.
    31
  1388. I envy your rust free cars 😥 on the exception of 6:32 haha
    31
  1389. 7:46 those are 5.56 on the left and 5.45x39(maybe) on the right, and the later steel case is definetly 5.45x39.
    31
  1390. If any group of people that could track this guy down it is definitely 4Chan.
    31
  1391. Ray, that car had another issue. For some reason, it did not have the proper level of garbage in the passenger compartment nor did I see any bugs. It is obvious that this is not a real customer car but one brought in just for the making of this video. Everyone knows that real customer vehicles have empty beer/soda cans, old coffee containers (some with bugs in them) and empty fast food wrappers tossed everywhere.
    31
  1392. Dad had the best name for his breaker bar extension pipe, "the helper".
    31
  1393. Good luck with your new adventure. As a small business owner for 50 years, my only suggestion is, starting out, only spend money on the things you ABSOLUTELY need. It’s always easier to spend than make. Everything else will come.
    31
  1394. The finger when it popped out was perfect. Mercedes is very similar and when you get those bushings out it's a rush of anger, adrenaline and happiness all at once.
    31
  1395. I was feeling your pain, cringing and laughing the whole time. Been there many times. Addendum instructions with phrases like "minor grinding" and "should otherwise be fully compatible" cause chills down my spine. Thanks for sharing.
    31
  1396. The mevotec ttx line is actually pretty good. I changed my ball joints on my 4wd Tacoma with them and they are very well made.
    31
  1397. Ray, as a hurricane forecaster for the past 42 years, and having worked an 11 hour shift today working on Nicole advisories, I can assure you that Nicole is no Ian. Nicole will weaken very quickly as it moves ashore around sunrise Thursday. It will pass to your northeast Thursday afternoon. You could see some low-end (40-45 mph with higher gusts) tropical storm force winds as it passes. Could cause some power outages in the area. Rain will be very minimal, as it will be ingesting plenty of dry air as it moves across Florida. Maybe a couple inches of rain. Again, nothing like Ian. You'll be fine. Interesting to note that in all recorded history (since the 1850s, at least), there has only been one other occasion of a hurricane making landfall on the Florida Peninsula in November. That was an unnamed storm in 1935 that crossed the Bahamas and struck Miami as a Cat 2 with 100 mph winds. Nicole will be a lot weaker, maybe 70-75 mph wind at landfall.
    31
  1398. Most excellent fix mr Ray please don't forget to have your self a great day
    31
  1399. How good is the sneaky “gravity” at the end of the intro 😂😂😂
    31
  1400. Theme of the week, watching Ray looking at things.. lol 😆 . Ray, Thank you for the content, and have yourself a good day!
    31
  1401. Hey. At least he used a Torque Stick
    31
  1402. Semi-Pro tip: I use small needle nose vice grips for drum brake springs; they won't slip, and don't risk cutting into the springs. Love watching you work Ray, I put the same care and attention to detail in everything I do. I also love that you explain to your helper why and how things are done the way they are so they have actual working knowledge. .
    31
  1403. Hey….I watched the video ….it only took you 32.00 minutes….why did you charge me for all that labor…😂🤣😳🤪😂🤣
    31
  1404. Ray, you're not just a good technician, but you're a top notch human being! Prayers for a speedy recovery for Ryan and strength to his friends and family.
    31
  1405. "Red goes to the rear". Proceeds to put red forwards! Love it! I love the occasional reminder that our internet heroes are human after all! Keep it up Ray!!! You're AWESOME!
    31
  1406. BOTS......BOTS.....BOTS....Comments are full of bots. Not me I'm humon.
    31
  1407. “I’m not a welder “;then proceeded to light up the workshop with a fire 🔥
    31
  1408. Have a good day Ray, keep up the hard work putting out a video everyday!
    31
  1409.  @fomoco300k  I agree. Maybe the sticker should say, "Racism is unpatriotic".
    31
  1410. They aren't paper towels they're Rainmans secondary air filter upgrade.
    31
  1411. It's like a box of chocolate, you never know what you're gonna get!
    30
  1412. I really hope you find this dude
    30
  1413. Desoto is now Cletus’s Freedom Factory and his buddy owns the drag strip so I’m sure he will be easy to ID if you go there and ask.
    30
  1414. Those extra details the customer gave you really cracked the case. Had me cracking up on that one
    30
  1415. 🎉 Happy birthday Ray! 🎉 Thank you for making us part of your life. God bless you
    30
  1416. Untill it's metal grinding on metal, you have enough pad material all day long
    30
  1417. Ray I've been subscribed to both your channels for a few years now and quitting your regular job and setting up your own shop was the best move you've made seeing how both yours and Lauren's confidence has grown. really enjoying the content from the new shop. Thankyou 👍
    30
  1418. You can't win them all. The life of a technician
    30
  1419. "American" "100%" Indeed! 🇺🇲👍 Thank you for posting this video! Had a smile plastered on my face from start to end!
    30
  1420. As far as training your brain to enable your left hand, I can state that you are correct. My father worked as a hand engraver for Monogram Models for years, doing the fine detail work on hobby kit molds. This work required using steel gravers to sculpt wood grain, facial features or mechanical details into the steel molds by hand. He could write equally well with either hand, as I recall.
    30
  1421. Hey Ray! just to let you know, the 3.7 loves to crack heads too. the 3.7 and 4.7 are basically the same motor just the 3.7 is missing 2 cylinders. they have the same hydraulic lifter issues and timing chain tensioner issues. basically if one has a common issue, the other likely has it too.
    30
  1422. Music is much better than the other shops. Keep up the good work.
    30
  1423. Pro tip: 1/2" Breaker Bar is a must for torqueing the oil pan drain. Also if you strip out the metric threads, just put in SAE drain plug. works every time. Thanks for the parody Ray- you saved the Interwebs and made my day.
    30
  1424. As a now retired professional mechanic, I never pre-filled an oil filter in my 50+ years. Agree with your reasoning and you are correct on the flow of oil. Far better to be filtered before hitting the bearings. I did notice the oil reminder on the dash, Maybe you reset the minder off camera? Hate to have customer come right back & all I've got is oops.
    30
  1425. Long time ago..... When putting in a new/reman engine. We woul use a drill to run the pump... Old school priming the oil system prior to first start... Even with assembly lube used
    30
  1426. Dealership told customer to take it to Ray. 😁
    30
  1427. Just a reminder to folks ... don't forget to like both parts of a two part video. I frequently forget when the Youtuber is gracious enough to actually upload both parts at the same time.
    30
  1428. No way those lights weren't on earlier. Customer is looking for freebie work.
    30
  1429. EDIT: Do not want to create false ideas. My donation is of 100 MXN, not USD, roughly 5 USD. I know it is not much but that is what I can donate :( To Ray: I can't express my feelings on this situation, it is their loss, you have been my entertainment and learning source as well as sparked my interest in mechanics. You will overcome this!
    30
  1430. Congrats Ray and you SHOULD be proud of yourself. Great job figuring this one out. Wins like this one always make you feel great for the whole rest of the week.
    30
  1431. Hey Rainman, there are crank pulley installer kits available, US stock, on eBay, chaep and nasty but they do the job and ship within a day or two, multiple thread sizes and pitches, order a kit and put it in your toolbox for that time you need it.
    30
  1432. I mostly buy snap on special service tools like the ball joint press. Sockets and wrenches I get whatever is easiest.
    30
  1433. Love the surprise videos! Thanks Ray!
    30
  1434. Save the OEM headers it will be back in six months with Leaks and melted things
    30
  1435. GROOOOOWSE ITS A V6 had me in tears! As someone going from a V6 07 Charger to a 21 Scat, I gotta say the V6 still goes and really isnt that bad for what it is. It should be a V8 but some of us dont need it, want it, or can handle it.
    30
  1436.  @grex2595  you can't prove a negative, i.e. the lack of racism. Burden of proof goes to the person charging racism.
    30
  1437.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  Then you're working for the right kind of people . Thumbs up .
    30
  1438. Oh fuck... Oh shit... Aw fuck... Really? sound of wrench thrown across garage
    29
  1439. Ray, glad you're enjoying the iDash and PedalMonster! When you have a moment, go into the iDash menu and select Gauge Layout. Scroll down and select PedalMonster or PedalMonster Combo. These two screens will allow you to adjust the levels by pushing the up and down arrows, and you can watch the vertical bar graphs which display how much PedalMonster is adding in real-time. You rule!

  1441. Best of luck finding this person. I hope karma catches up with him before anyone is injured. Or worse.
    29
  1442. Okay, your story of the stolen/forgotten/missing decorative engine cover traumatized me so badly I'm gonna have to sue you for about $13.95, or the cost of a few adult beverages with wife as designated driver. That's if she lets me since she's the boss. Hmmm, I "think" I have a good case. And that's my RE for the day, with a little humor dropped in. Have a wonderful day too.
    29
  1443. The sarcasm is on fire this video, excellent!
    29
  1444. Hope your son is doing better and healing fast.
    29
  1445. Cheaper and better than anything the BBC has produced in the last 15 years 👍
    29
  1446. Finally, an easy job after all the chaos we've seen during the week. That Rustang must have drained a lot of energy from you, Ray.
    29
  1447.  @squiggyg.8415  No matter what speed, Ray still rambles 99.87% of the time. Troy just shakes his head faster.
    29
  1448. Congratulations Ray, it's Huge step and I wish you all the Best and Thank You for all the Great Content...and Don't forget to have Yourself a Great Day.

  1449. “Water, water, everywhere, And all the boards did shrink; Water, water, everywhere, Nor any drop to drink.”
    29
  1450. Hey Ray, about that mosquito biting your ankle. You need to stop calling it he as only the females bite. Let's face it, us guys get slammed enough so we can at least quit blaming the male mosquitoes for what the females are doing.
    29
  1451. Loving it, keep it shiny. Also nice another vid to watch.
    29
  1452. GM has known for years that AFM is a train wreck. I shut mine off with a tuner. Automatic Failure Mode.
    29
  1453. Back in the day as a lube boy at a Chevy dealer, had to always "test drive the oil filter" on a corvette! Lol , 427,4bbl! Cartridge type filter, lol! 66 sting ray.
    29
  1454. I love how you do your videos, like you said we are hanging out together and I don't get in the way!
    29
  1455. Don't talk to people like that man your mom did not raise you right
    29
  1456. You're not kidding... I've driven through Miami and had to pull over because I could NOT see anything in front or behind me. NOTHING! I use to live in Ocala, you'd think I would be use to the rain... NOPE. Thanks for the video Ray!
    29
  1457.  @bunzeebear2973  parents have 18 yrs, they should be able to fit that in somewhere. People shouldn’t be relying on the public school system to teach your children basic life skills.
    29
  1458. The scanner was free. That hat cost you $3,000
    29
  1459. See it doesn’t matter that you are on the other side of the planet, it’s always nice to hear from people that are NICE PEOPLE. Thank you for being you. As Ray might say, keep up the nicest. You have a wonderful day.
    29
  1460. Your enthusiasm clearly increased during the tour, particularly as you rediscovered certain tools! I’ve given you a thumbs up so you can now afford a new box. Thanks from the original tour requester.
    29
  1461. Putting the American 🇺🇸 up made me smile. Glad to see you made it through safe. ❤
    29
  1462. Man, wish the mechanics that replaced my A/C system at least wiped their hands. Nice clean truck one day. Grease fingerprints everywhere the next. I mean, whyyyyyyy? I don't care about a lil grease and oil on the handles, steering wheel, etc. because that can be cleaned easy. But they were practically finger painting my headliner and seats. Ray doing it right. Oh yeah, it was a dealership.
    29
  1463. In Australia the seasons are opposite when it's summer here it's winter there.
    29
  1464. Just started watching your videos a week ago Ray. My TV put up random videos of your repairs. I just saw the one where you were fired, about an hour ago. I have just subscribed to your channel. I respect and admire people like you who hold the same honest and hard working values as I do. I'm not a Mechanic, but I know many..... Half cool, half sorta' cool.... I'm like an umpire,.... "call 'em as I see 'em.." You my friend, deserve all the blessings life has to offer!!! God bless you, and may your life bring you joy and contentment. 🙏 You deserve it. 🙂
    29
  1465. lmao ray, i havent been around in a while due to medical problems, but people calling you a sell out? wow, these must be fram oil filter peeps or the old sock air filter with oil that messes up the sensor kinda peeps. i dunno ray, some brands make QA issues and correct them, some companies just keep pumping out junk, but seeing you are going to a factory thats not in china, maybe some input from a mechanic may help them design and make a better product? some companies won't even reach out so this is a chance to have dialog and have sumfin better or not.
    29
  1466. You did an excellent job of maintaining a cool head with everyone’s safety coming first. This was a professional response to an extremely dangerous situation. Flat bed tow trucks earn their keep in the strangest ways sometimes.
    29
  1467.  @gofishingwhenyoucan  that's because most of them are complaining because I called a split pin a cotter pin and bent it the wrong way of course...
    29
  1468. I am looking forward to this , it's going to be good.
    29
  1469.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  I'm going to remember that if the new one I'm with starts that mess 😄
    29
  1470. Thanks for all of your entertaining and informative videos! Keep ‘em coming! 👍🏻👍🏻
    29
  1471. Speaking of California, a man was told he had to build a 6 foot fence around his "unsightly" boat or be fined each day it was visible. He built the fence and then had an artist paint an exact copy of the boat on the outside of the fence. It was awesome. Glad I don't live there.

  1472.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  I'm an HVAC/R technician with a 608 Universal certification, work on systems containing up to hundreds of pounds of refrigerant, and have 25# and 30# cylinders of 5 different refrigerants on my service truck. I can't even buy "automotive" refrigerants, other than those dumbass DIY kits, because I never bothered to get a 609 certification.🤣
    28
  1473. More than an HOUR of beautimus video!! Amazing. Really looking forward to sitting down and watching this in full later, just wanted to leave a comment of sincere appreciation. Thank you! 👍👍🇬🇧
    28
  1474. Gravy and Ford are never in the same sentence. I'm surprised you took the job, those 5.4L's are the WORST. I swear Ford has a team of college interns with no experience with automobiles running the show in engineering.
    28
  1475. Great intro, I say you will never see it again.
    28
  1476. Hey Ray you are a very good mechanic and I love watching your videos!!! Good job!!!!!!
    28
  1477. I like the three camera shoot on engine start up. Ray has gone Hollywood on us.
    28
  1478. Congratulations to you and Lauren on your 9 years together and on your re-marriage ceremony this past weekend. You two make a wonderful couple and you deserve the happiness you so evidently share together from what I can see in your videos. I wish you both all the best. Cheers!
    28
  1479. Ford tried to sell the Taurus in Australia , they could hardly give them away . The Aussie Falcon was far superior
    28
  1480. Happy belated birthday Ray, look forward to seeing part 2 on this. Also looking forward to seeing the rest of your progress on your truck.
    28
  1481. This kind of things restores my faith in humans, Both of you are awesome best vives from Mexico City🇲🇽
    28
  1482. dude..... after going through cancer treatment with my wife.... amazing..... you are a good person.
    28
  1483. Ray, Go to WM and get yourself a wrist support in the pharmacy area. The one with the Velcro and metal palm pad. Wear it when you go to bed too. It will allow faster healing of the wrist strain because it supports better then just an ace bandage.

  1485. Hey R. R.!! I love watching your videos and I'm a 60 year old woman!! 😂 My husband was a mechanic for over 54 years he's retired now, but I loved watching him take car's apart and put them together but I was always in his way!! Now I can see the kind of things he used to do up close!! Keep up the awesome work you are doing!! You and your videos ROCK!! 🤗 ❤️ I love it when the phone rings too!! Tootly Tootly Too!! 😂😂😂
    28
  1486. I have to say to you Ray, when I was a kid many rotations of the earth ago, my dad told me to never throw nuts, bolts and other parts away. He said you never know when they will come in handy. I've done that now for may moons ( I'll be 74 in a few months). I have tubs of parts and they always come in handy on automotive work as well as other stuff. Love your content. Thanks man.
    28
  1487. It’s not very often I lean back whilst watching YouTube….. enjoyed the series 👍🏻
    28
  1488. It looks like someone turned the knob too hard and caused the inner , moving part of the switch to rotate inside the housing, forcing the terminal block out of the housing, causing the short
    28
  1489. I am pretty sure that the bolt connection for those coil's is also the ground connection for the coil. It's the third wire essentially. Every cylinder with a broken coil mount on the valve cover is probably misfiring... You sense the junk yard, which is a shame because it would probably run good if the guy would fork over the money to fix what he messed up.
    28
  1490. Wow! What terrible luck to have one of the worst possible connections to overlook. Glad you found it quickly Ray. Good job!
    28
  1491. I feel ya on the importance of the truck. When Florence was bearing down on us OBX N.C. in 2018 as a 4 originally, my truck was loaded with all the important tools, gear, and survival stuff. Parked in the highest part of the gravel driveway, away from trees, and up on 4 ramps to give it that much more clearance from the storm surge. Water still came to the tires when high tide hit.... Preppers gotta prep
    28
  1492. When you did the funnel thing I almost blew grits all over my laptop screen. That was so funny! Thanks for a good laugh first thing in the morning! Have a great day.

  1493. Thanks Ray.
    28
  1494. No ree here buddy, after years of prefilling i wont anymore, even explained it to my boss how you did, and we no longer pre fill. Would rather that filter get hammered a little bit over replacing an engine. And its not like the old tritons where they dont build Oil Pressure for the first 30 seconds and sound like the valve train is about to send a rod to god lmao. Great Info buddy! Subbed for sure.
    28
  1495. I really appreciate knowing that when I start watching one of your multi-part jobs, the other parts have also been posted and I can watch them all at once. The big jobs always have lots of details to keep track of, and that's easier on me when I can binge it. Thanks!
    28
  1496. Ray, thank you for your videos! I'd give you a 5 star rating! You do excellent work both mechanically and video wise. Your videos are entertaining as well as instructional...that makes them well worthwhile of watching. I do wish you all the best and may God richly bless you.
    28
  1497. Wow.. So it IS possible to kill a toyota. But damn that interior, you need a lysol bath ASAP
    28
  1498. That receiver module was branded "Omron." Omron is also the manufacturer of my home blood pressure machine - which is fitting, because diagnosing that problem would have made my blood pressure go through the roof!
    28
  1499. Yes, every time I see a video and the time is 1h+ I say yes, full chill hour Ray doing his thing. I can't thank you anymore Ray, I've learned so much from you, and got the confidence to do my own diy stuff on my car.
    28
  1500. Good morning from Montreal Canada. Love getting up early, making coffee and seeing a Ray video. Hope your cold gets lost soon!
    28
  1501. My background is similar to yours and Rich. I was forced out of school in the 9th grade. However, I worked hard and became an engineer for General Motors and later a project manager for General Electric. I worked on the F110 engine for the F16 in Turkey for a number of years. It just shows hard work and determination can get you out of these situations. Congratulations to you both I realize how hard you both had early life. As an addendum I, too, was injured while serving during the Vietnam Era and I am now disabled for the last 20 years. Thank you for your service.
    28
  1502. Ray, you tightened up those top strut nuts just as I was yelling at the screen "Don't forget the strut nuts!!!!"
    27
  1503. Hmm Ray, the mechanic, taking advantage of a 21 y/o girl, not plugged in all the way, 2 man job...the makings of a porn video...
    27
  1504.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  Good thing that 609 MVAC certification costs what, $15? Yeah, it's a pain in the dick. But I also stocked up on 134 back in 2017 when everyone had 30# cylinders on clearance right before the regulation went into effect 😉
    27
  1505. I didn’t hear anyone yell “Clear!” before lowering the lift, though so I’m definitely reporting this to the You Toob safety patrol.
    27
  1506. For fu@ks sake . Would fit the the bill on this one Ray ! 😅
    27
  1507. Thank you for keeping US posted with real news while fighting your battle. I bet nobody here would have blamed you for just being too friggin busy to post one single video, let alone a full account of the events. Also, tge way you inspected your roof totally reflected the way you inspect your cars at work. Your kid made me laugh with the "speaking Australian" bit. Future comedian. Thanks and hopefully the cleanup won't be too difficult (that goes for all of Florida) Your videos calmed us, here, down while we just got the puny leftover, barely cat1 rain. By comparison, we felt lucky/blessed. Thanks!
    27
  1508. I wish those Borescope cameras were just as advance as smartphone cameras. They’re missing too many features like autofocus & night processing for dark areas.
    27
  1509. As a Swedish former tire repair technician i approve this repair. Every step done by the book. I salute you sir!
    27
  1510. Great news, glad you are all safe.
    27
  1511. Don't forget to service the front and rear axel units Also, the air filter
    27
  1512. Poor little feller! Prayers for a speedy recovery.
    27
  1513. We get to see a much cleaner shop. A late spring cleaning. But Ray did not find that thingy he was looking for.
    27
  1514.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  Apparently they are extra important these days, or so I'm told by HR.
    27
  1515.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  "defiantly" Dont fix it, I like it.
    27
  1516. I wanted to be the first one to comment and say how much that I appreciate you the knowledge that you have with all vehicles love you bro
    27
  1517. Wow, rainman ray has been so used to people driving fucked up vehicles that someone in for preventative maintenance blows his mind
    27
  1518. Oh boy! You created plenty of ammunition for all the welders and safety police on this one! It’s only one of the many reasons I love the channel. Thanks for all your hard work and teaching you’ve made me a better car worker oner 😀
    27
  1519. Hey good to see you still uploading! I think the shop will work great!
    27
  1520. My battery is having some personal issues, but it's seeing a therapist, and with the help of medication, I'm told they're working through it.
    27
  1521. ​ @RainmanRaysRepairs ..The details matter....✌️
    27
  1522. Lose and loose are two different words. This has to be the most common spelling error on the 'net these days. The good news is, mistakes in a title are easy to fix.
    27
  1523. What a trip down memory lane. I am pretty sure I remember all those. We have been down a road together.
    27
  1524. Love your videos only just discovered them but there are shot decently for what your doing and you appear to be a top mechanic always respectful of the customers car
    27
  1525. So, I was "Daddy's Little Helper" as I was growing up. I spent numerous hours out in the carport with my Dad handing him tools while he worked on our vehicles. My sister was inside reading Tiger Beat, teasing her hair and dancing to the Beatles. Flash forward 60 years. I take my car to the dealership for an oil change and a new battery. Four hours and $300 later, I head home. The next morning my car won't start. I open the hood and check the battery cables. One is on the terminal but not tightened down. The other cable is loosely lying on top of the terminal. I didn't have your "magic battery tool" so I just used pliers to tighten everything down and then the car started right up. Just want to send a shout out to my dad in heaven and thank him for teaching me so much. I'm a self sufficient senior gal thanks to him!👍🙂❤
    27
  1526. Idk why but I absolutely loved it every time you “ cleaned” your workbench! Prob cause I can relate lol
    27
  1527. A mechanic has to outsmart the engineers who designed it. Times that by all the makes, models, and years. Stay safe and be well Ray.
    27
  1528. Always wanted to go to sema. Enjoy the moment! You now are a influencer, 😆 wow!
    27
  1529. Greetings from Ireland. Your videos are very enjoyable for me to watch, from 1 diagnostic technician to another I love your approach and how you articulate your reasoning. People watching can appreciate the complexity the job entails and what someone who knows what there doing looks like. I'm opening a shop next month and I'd love to see how many hours you bill the customer for these amazing jobs, hourly or agreement?. Keep doing what your doing man
    27
  1530. We want to see your field trip to the salvage yard for the broken part. 🙏
    27
  1531. On this episode of RRR we will watch ray violate almost every OSHA rule there is. Stay tuned cause this will be a very good video 😂
    27
  1532. Still loving the do di do’s, beeps and clicks!
    27
  1533. Love your videos, Ray!! I’m a baby forklift technician, about a year on the job. I think I’m fairly competent, and so does my boss, but I’d be lying if I said I had a tonne of automotive experience prior to getting hired. As such, I kinda got thrown into the deep end and it has been all on the job learning for me and trying to find my way without fucking up too badly. Watching your videos, despite the different equipment we work on respectively, has helped me a lot. You display an attention and dedication to your work that has helped to shape the type of reputation I wish to earn. Thank you sir! Your efforts are appreciated. From the barren wastelands of Canada, respect.
    27
  1534. All in all, I just feel absolutely terrible for this customer. You can tell he really wanted to make the truck last many more years and many more miles and look how clean it is inside too! You truly hate to see it man. It'll be a HARD lesson for that poor feller. I hope in the end he can get the issues fixed because we know this Warranty Company isn't even worth throwing to the dogs.
    27
  1535. Combining wrenches for more leverage: One of the earlier steps to "I'm done asking nicely"
    27
  1536. I enjoyed the fact you knew when to stop while you're ahead. You dodged a major headache as professionally and as efficiently as possible. Kudos for that!
    27
  1537. Dude you have an amazing voice
    27
  1538. I always get nervous when he drives over that bridge. It's a jeep thing I guess. 😮
    27
  1539. I feel your pain, brother. Dealing with car breakdowns can be frustrating and time-consuming.
    27
  1540. Hey man, thanks for sharing. Ryan was my best man in my wedding. He is truly my best friend. It means so much that everyone is helping. I am deeply depressed about my buddy.
    27
  1541. Thank you for giving us the chance to both lend a hand with the bills and lift up Ryan and his family in prayer! I hope for a speedy recovery!
    27
  1542. Dropping tools brings back so many bad memories, as my old man used to give me a mouthful every time I'd work with him and drop a tool. Funny thing is, I rarely drop tools nowadays no matter what I'm doing haha.
    27
  1543. I love how they tell you that you are not happy here. Manager speak. When you have a plan to leave, they find out and push the issue. You will find a better place. You stay safe!
    27
  1544. It sounds like a lawnmower engine...😂
    27
  1545. How does P0128 gets checked? The vehicle must be off for at least 6 hours (the ECU measures this). After at least 6 hours, if you start the car and the coolant temp doesn't reach 71*C in 5 minutes, the PCM triggers the P0128. This must happen twice in two drive cycles. Minimum air temp when you first start the car: -10*C.
    27
  1546. When Ian was starting to come ashore and you were giving us updates of what was going on, you had the world checking in on you. Glad you made it through with minimal damage.
    27
  1547. "I should have been an astronaut." I love it.
    27
  1548. There should be a fill plug for PTU. I had mine done without any removing of parts. earlier models lacked a drain plug it was suction and refill up to plug (similar to rear). You should be selling a PTU fluid change on every Ford with a PTU. They are prone to failure with people that fail to change it regularly.
    27
  1549. Just installed the banks pedal monster on my '23 1500. I wanted to do the same on my previous '17 1500 because the lag from a stop was ridiculous. What a difference driving the truck is now!! I do keep the throttle response close to factory. It's at +2 city. That's more than enough for me but it is worth every penny just to delete the lag! (On a technical note, the pedal monster has better internal safety features than the pedal commander.)
    27
  1550. ray still has wee ones though, so hes definitely going for the money
    27
  1551. Troy did a great job 👏
    27
  1552. That was a really good video, Ray. I know that to you, its probably pretty basic bread-and-butter stuff, but you never fail to make it entertaining. Thanks for turning my dark grey day a few shades lighter.
    27
  1553. Yellow Jacket. He must have been on the way out be so docile. Otherwise they are aggressive and territorial. I see my fair share inside HVAC equipment. Good stuff. Stay safe and be well. Have a great rest of your day.
    27
  1554. So glad I stumbled across this channel, I'm learning a ton. Thanks and keep it up!
    27
  1555. See.........this is why I watch your videos.......you are an above average/excellent auto mechanic, most mechanics would have just replaced the compressor and called it a day..........and the cycle continues. Bravo.......good job mate!!
    27
  1556. Ray, the winch could use some love !
    27
  1557. Never hurts to be educated and updated. Manufactures can be responsive to feedback.
    27
  1558. Ray , I feel like I am being dated here . I still use my C-clamp and an old pad to compress the piston . I also still wear my bell bottom jeans and love beads ( Just saying ) lol
    27
  1559. Land Rover is Latin for "expensive parts"
    27
  1560. That's the problem with using vacuum for leak testing, seals can hold in one direction and leak in the other, also it's just around 14-15 psi at perfect vacuum
    27
  1561. I spent 6 years working as an aircraft mechanic, with 95% of my work being on piston powered airplanes, with engines ranging from a Rotax 912, 2.0L turbo-diesel, 240 cu. in. flat four, all the way to 540 cu. in. turbo-ed six bangers. Occasional PT-6 turbine thrown in there. One thing about doing that, is if you don't do your job right you will kill people as there is no pulling over if shit really hits the fan, but on the other hand, you never (99.99%) had to worry about any jerry-rigging bullshit or iffy customer supplied parts.
    27
  1562. Thank god your ok
    27
  1563. When the going gets tough, you do as all GOOD Auto doctors do, Call in the Calvery ! Thanks to the two of you (Arod) you just satisfied another customer ! Happy Fathers Day to you and all the Dads out there!! Thanks Ray !
    26
  1564. Air is coolest at the ground. We're not talking about the surface temp of the blacktop. 12" above the ground is the coolest the air is going to get because cool air is heaviest. Dust will travel through the opening in the back of the Super Scoop. It will not be drawn up into the intake. We've studied airflow for over 60 years.
    26
  1565. I can hear scotty laughing at that shitty Chrysler from 4 videos back.
    26
  1566. I love watching him and listening to his funny dialogue
    26
  1567. Ray, Dont trash your power tool batteries. Do a search for saving those batteries that are too "dead" to charge. I have the same issue with my nail gun batteries, all i do is use a regular car charger and hold the + & - leads on the terminals and bring the battery voltage up to a level that will allow it to take a charge. May need to keep on charge all the time, but cheaper than buying new ones. Hope this helps.
    26
  1568. Ac tech here:. The way I clean indoor coils is by using a product by NuCalgon called Nubrite. It's a liquid coil cleaner that goes on as a spray. Once it contacts the coil it begins to foam pushing all the debris out from in between the fins of the coil. This product needs to be handled very carefully as it has a very high pH. Also when it comes to filters use the cheapest filter you can find. Stay away from the higher MERV rating airfilters as they create an airflow restriction and will reduce your equipments sensible cooling capacity.
    26
  1569. First thing as a tech. Check filter. Second thing check coils. Solves 80% of all problems
    26
  1570. On that shield Ray the 2 bolts in the back stay in to support the shield and then you can slide it out. The shield is slotted. I'm sure you knew it but over looked it. Great video Ray. I think the clamp was for holding the shield from another mechanic.
    26
  1571. Watch a number of your videos. Find them quite interesting and educational. Only recently subscribed and I wasn't disappointed by doing so. Like the fact that there's no shop drama, eg, fights arguments and such. It's simply a hands on repair work video showing the how to's and the difficulties encountered with some repairs. I give you 5 star out of 5 stars rating! Keep up the excellent work!
    26
  1572. I'm ready for part three.
    26
  1573. This is called occupational therapy. You guys do so much in repairing cars and so you need to blow off steam for purposely wrecking a vehicle. My aunt worked for years in a bank, when she got a game system, she purchased a cop and robbers game where she played as a Robber stealing from multiple banks without getting caught. It's priceless.
    26
  1574. I love these hour long videos. Just have to be sure to charge up the phone before starting the video.
    26
  1575. I'm not mechanically inclined but these videos are funny and informative. Thanks for the content my dude.
    26
  1576. "I probably earned it this time." No, sweetie, none of us 'earn' abuse. You are kind and intelligent and you're doing a great job.
    26
  1577. once upon a time when i would drop something or a tool falls i would say not so nice words, now i just say "gravity!"
    26
  1578.  @7iMPY7  wrong if they bring in their own part no warranty is implied at all basically a top and go issue of it leaks after and or fails it's on them again
    26
  1579. Ray, I love your 30 minutes plus videos. I ride a stationary bike 30 minutes, 4 times a week and nothing could be more boring. Your videos are not only entertaining and informative, but also very pleasantly distracting. Exercise time flies by while watching your videos. Thanks and keep up the good work please.
    26
  1580. BOOTY! I hate spell check!
    26
  1581. If only I had a hoist. I wouldn't have to pull the motor for what is a basically easy job. Next move I'll definitely put one in. Nice couple of vids. Subbed... =D
    26
  1582. You can never turn back, you must push through to the fray, onward to victory. May your car enemies never know your blood, sweat or tears. May you ride chrome and shiny, and if you fall may your spirit ride gloriously into VALHALLA!!!
    26
  1583. had one drive in with the piston popped out and turned 90 degrees. The other 3 corners weren't much better. $1300 estimate. I could not stop the car from being driven away here in Mich.
    26
  1584. Customer would be like well I guess I do need the rotors right, but the pads don't look bad, they still have like 3mm of paste and at least 7mm of usable metal
    26
  1585. Although I am not an advocate of torque stick use, you sir are a class "A" idiot. Experience trumps all, understanding the power output and ability of yourself and your tools is what allows Ray to complete jobs accordingly. I was educated through an apprenticeship program here in Canada, for the first 3 years of education they hammer you with torqueing properly etc, in the 4th an final year, they do not harp on torqueing at all. In fact, we joked about the things we had to torque to spec and talked about our skills and ability to "feel" fasteners etc. That comes with experience. Something I believe you may be lacking if you are referring to "chris fix" videos for your educational needs, its not a bad thing to be inexperienced, but to go on a tangent acting like you are correct is certainly wrong. Enter any shop in the industry and your eyes will be opened wide, Chris is repairing vehicles in his driveway, not professionally. He is a professional Influencer or content creator, not a professional mechanic.
    26
  1586. One of the best sayings I’ve ever heard was “If you’re the smartest person in the room, you’re in the wrong room”. Always be learning. More hybrids Ray. It will be the norm.
    26
  1587. Ray your videos are great I did not realize how much likes help you out. I watch them all and never hit the like button. Probably just laziness. From now on I'm hitting the like button. From one gear head and wrench to another. Your journey is a fun one to watch and I think it's awesome you have gotten your wife unit and kids involved. You sir kick ass. Keep on keeping on.
    26
  1588. I've seen this a couple times before, the person said "but it only cost $3,000.00" when I asked if they got it inspected and now they are out that 3k instead of $200.00 it would have cost to get it checked out...SMH 😒
    26
  1589. Hey Ray, Chrysler tech here, if you do end up doing a cylinder head. Take a straight edge to the block (it should not exceed 0.0025-0.0035") for some reason when the rear heads go bad, they allow the block to warp. If you catch it early enough you can get it machined. Chrysler says the head over cylinders 3 and 5 pulls away from the block. Probably not your issue but is worth checking while you're there, to potentially save them a ton of money down the road (if not caught early enough, coolant will pour in the cylinders and ruin the engine). It's very common on the 3.6L in my experience
    26
  1590. Hey Ray, it never feels good to get fired and I'm sure it's not a fun convo with the wife but I'm really looking forward to your next job! Any ideas on videos in the interim? Freelance work?
    26
  1591. Love your videos and your integrity and hard work is an inspiration to us all!!!
    26
  1592. Ray, you are a very smart person and will find a better path forward. I love your videos and commentary. Your work ethics and treatment of the customer are great and will bring you success. Go for it.
    26
  1593. Is lack of planning on her part doesn't constitute an emergency on our part
    26
  1594. We’ve been replacing a crap load of lifters and pushrods at work on the 2021
    26
  1595. Okay Ray this is the first time I've ever gotten one of these notifications in less than 5 minutes so I guess this is going to be almost life to me edumacate me BROTHER 👨‍🎓
    26
  1596. 859k to go, Botmaker says “I always knew he’d hit a million subs and gets closer every day”. Our new favorite YouTube personality. Jay Leno — look out!
    26
  1597. I thought this engine was particularly nasty.
    26
  1598. Enjoyed the whole video, Refreshing to see somebody taking the time and the care to do a vehicle check and have to say that car was in very good condition for it's age, The new owners should be well chuffed with it. Respect from Scotland.
    26
  1599. Outstanding video Ray your the main reason i watch YouTube but the most important thing is to have your self a great day Ray
    26
  1600. How nice of YOU, Ray, to take the opportunity to see what improvements the company may have made to their products. Thank YOU, and Have a Great Day! ❤
    26
  1601. Doodly doo deedoo guys!!! ❤
    26
  1602. i knew i always recognized the area you're driving in.. i drive that street every day. I live about 1/2 mile from your shop. great videos. keep up the good work!
    26
  1603. Thanks for not editing out forgetting to tighten that clamp. I was waiting for it to come off under boost and was not disappointed!
    26
  1604. You are the first person to ever describe how a clutch and transmission work that I understood.
    26
  1605. I found your channel while surfing U Tube. Very interesting and professional. Did my first brake job the other day on a 2006 Toyota Rav 4 after watching many of your brake job videos. At 70 and retired, the wife unit and I enjoy your daily videos. I also have a 2014 Ram 1500 that had the dry spline issue on the drive shaft. That also went smoothly but was surprised that the splines were about 24" long. I indexed the flange and the splines so it went back in the exact orientation that it came off. Cleaned what grease was there, re-greased and repair is complete. You were correct about not having to remove the complete shaft for this repair. Hydraulic jacks and jack stands were used.
    26
  1606. That car took a hella of a hit.
    26
  1607.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  "Genyus" would just have you grind the flange down with your precision flap disc. He also cuts wheel studs short so he can make the wheel assemblies tighter, and uses wire ties to shorten accessory drive belts when they start to wear. Nah, there's no need for a new radiator hose when one gets a hole in it, just patch it with a piece of innertube! What a genius!
    26
  1608. "Because we're good at it" This is so true and it manifests itself in every video both of you publish. Digging for the "what's and whys" is the most important part of any career, but especially important in the automotive repair services industry.
    26
  1609. Great video. When you were inspecting the car during the drive, I instinctually held my breath when you were trying to hear the sound. You know, so you could hear it better. lol
    25
  1610. Congrats Ray, your channel becomes my daily routine to watch and of course yours wife’s channel too ❤
    25
  1611. Ray I don't know if you actually read the comments but thank you for all of the awesome commentary and the great content. It's always a good day when I come home from work and chill to you doing what you. Stay awesome.
    25
  1612. Thank you for moving the container of fuses before you tried starting the car Yoh, that was stressing me out! :D
    25
  1613. You're welcome for the blue flush cuts - and as you stated, they are indeed super sharp. I thought you'd appreciate them - their small size makes them even better :-) For the relay pins, another option is to use a small pliers and bend a little bit of an angle into them versus being a flat blade.
    25
  1614. I figured it was the coils. Especially with 300K on the clock. And I would definitely want iridium plugs in that engine. That rear bank is a bitch.
    25
  1615. Nothing like the smell of old Hypoid (EP80/90)gear oil .
    25
  1616. Once in awhile, its nice to venture where your scan tool means nothing, and your mental troubleshooting tools are everything....nice job
    25
  1617. Always important to take a car for a test drive to identify any problems.
    25
  1618. Hope you guys have fun and congrats on the new shop.
    25
  1619. Had a good laugh when you asked Lauren to clean up the mess.
    25
  1620. Drove a school bus for a few years. All our buses including our minivans had this feature. It was called "child checkmate". Works very well. If I was doing a charter for adults. I used to ask everyone to stay seated while I walked to the back of the bus to push the reset button. Not aware of anyone being left in the bus unattended since that installation. It had to be reset after the bus was shut off.
    25
  1621. Wow! I’m early today! Not yet 20 comments! Happy New Year to all of you. I get a lot out of your real-time repair and diag vids. I find myself tempted to throw empty cans of brakekleen too. You have a great sense of humor, Ray. Keep up the good work! I get a lot out of your tutelage.
    25
  1622. loving the direction of the channel and your shop. Also, the longer format videos (over an hour) are awesome. hoping for more!
    25
  1623. A Banks Buffet. Nice
    25
  1624. Fun fact, those "fittings" on the radiator are called jiffy-tite connectors and they are made right here in the Peoples Republic of NY
    25
  1625. Trust me all the euro cars require some very bs special tools. Its not worth it. I've turned down jobs only for another guy in the shop I worked in to say HEY I CAN DO THAT ITS EASY. Only to have them cause thousands of dollars in said damages to the car they made fun of me turning away, after me saying we don't have the specialized tools to work on that car here.
    25
  1626. I'm 2 years into the trade, working for a small local shop. Your videos along with some other YouTubers are a big inspiration and a place for me to look to for advice and technique!
    25
  1627. Hey Ray..truck driver here. Watch you every single day ,best mechanic I've seen in a long time.
    25
  1628. At least distractions force you to let things cool before your burn yourself.
    25
  1629. Take care and best wishes. She'll be right, mate.
    25
  1630.  @frotobaggins7169  Haha .... poor Karen & her maybe same ill minded ken
    25
  1631. Northstars are very much misunderstood. While they would develop leaks from the factory, a competent tech can reseal them and they won't leak anymore, Whoever resealed the one featured in Ray's video took shortcuts or didn't completely reseal it. I have resealed hundreds of them and they don't leak afterwards. Several of the ones I resealed belonged to regular customers so I would see the vehicles for years after the reseal, They would still be dry 100,000 miles post reseal. Ray, those valve covers are aluminum. 🙂 Also, the blip you saw in the oxygen sensors around the 27 minute mark of the video was likely the Secondary Air Injection system changing state. The valve you had to remove from the back valve cover to replace the spark plugs is the Secondary Air Injection check valve. As always, keep up the good work!
    25
  1632. Chris, you are correct. A service technician will often leave a system in vacuum overnight to see if the system can maintain that vacuum. A shrader valve is spring loaded to keep the seat closed. Atmospheric pressure cannot overcome that spring to open the port.
    25
  1633. Let's go Brandon !
    25
  1634. I'd recommend changing that vacuum pump oil a couple more times, running it between changes, and changing it more often going forward.
    25
  1635. My grandfather thought me “buy once cry once” when it comes to buying substantial purchases. When it’s comes to handtools or sockets etc, I want the highest performance I can get. Nothing worse then a wrench slipping on a bolt and you smash your hand or damage something else.
    25
  1636. Wtf i got unsubsidized. F youtube
    25
  1637. I wish there were more mechanics like you in new Zealand Love watching your content man
    25
  1638. Does he really mean now working? As in it is actually funny? Or did he mean to say not. We may never know.
    25
  1639. My wife and I have been Watching you, back before you opened your shop. We've been thinking you are a nice man. You sure proved it here. Your continued success is something we want to see.
    25
  1640. I love the fact you take the time to read our comments and go out of ur way to show us the things we want to see . apriciate you're dedication and honesty man .
    25
  1641. Know a guy who worked in the factory where they build these, he said he wouldn't buy one!
    25
  1642. I might have checked to see if the trans adapts could be reset. I've noticed on some of the german imports, it takes a few drive cycles for the TCM to get back to some kind of normal. Not that I'm assuming, but the correct fluid type is critical. The fill procedure on the bottom up style trans is just infuriating.
    25
  1643. Orion 77 The guy with no video's. no need to say more
    25
  1644.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  I often say that feed trolls is a bad thing, in this case it is kind of funny. Like there are troll comments and there is this kind of stupid/dumb comments.
    25
  1645. Good to see you’ve well recovered from the Avalanche thingy 😂
    25
  1646. Notice how Ray mentions the wobbly bit sometime before it makes an appearance?? Then he further mentions the wobbly bit thus building up the audience's anticipation of its appearance .. and then it arrives!!! Such skill, such masterful expertise of playing out the suspense ... oh I was really beside myself when it appeared ... surely Ray will be nominated for an Oscar 😁 Long live the wobbly bit !
    25
  1647. Ray, having watched several of your videos, now I've subscribed to your channel. I binge watched 30 of your videos. I love your humor and wittism, haha. I enjoyed every one of it
    25
  1648. Ray, I understand the logic behind the BJ repair (giggety) . Those control arms are junk as far as the BJ's are concerned so welding them in fixes them for the last time in their lives. That minimal welding did nothing to damage heat treating or grease packing - just secured them the last time. They will perform safely and per design for the rest of their lives. When they're worn out, it will be time to replace the control arms too. So good fix overall. The ONLY down side is the next mechanic will go to a ton of work to remove them only to find out the arms are shot. Que sera', sera". Keep up the good work and happy new year.
    25
  1649. Thanks for sharing Ray, it certainly causes one to have a rethink when someone close passes. Vehicles have electronic everything these days, all of which do not like to have low voltage or batteries with diminished capacity. With everything controlled by a module of some sort, the criticalness of a good source of supply is paramount. A simple car circuit is no longer a thing in the modern vehicle. The days of the busted arse mechanic ended way too long ago, and rightly so. The modern mechanic is a technician, sadly an underpaid one. In Australia, mechanics wages have not remotely kept up with the additional technology, skills and knowledge required for the trade. I do not know what it is like in other countries, though I cannot see it being any different. I do see an Grease & Lube job as being a relatively cheap job, though anything above that is where the hourly rate needs to be in -line with the task, skills, knowledge and equipment to undertake the task.
    25
  1650. Ray your videos had got me through severe chronic illness since 2019 and my stays in rehab facilities. Thank you.
    25
  1651. I never noticed an accent but i have noticed how well put together and thought out your sentences are. I love that you think before you speak and challenge your vocabulary every day. It has inspired me to do the same in my every day life, i love learning new words.
    24
  1652. 8 short months since this was posted . The dramatic increase in Rays video skills and comfort talking to the camera between then and now is amazing, I didn’t think it was him at first. Well done Ray
    24
  1653. Love the content ray, keeps me occupied while being quarantined for covid 😭
    24
  1654.  @Mdudeman13  except I really don't have any interest in cars, and have no idea how to repair them. I think a ton of people started liking this guy cause of his sense of humor, and others who like similar anecdotes tend to get this channel thrown at them. That said, I do appreciate it, this guy obviously takes pride in his work, and he's quite amusing
    24
  1655. Good morning Ray and happy hump day. When I was newlywed in 2004, we had a green 2002 Taurus 3.0. That car was solid better than my wife’s 1994 Saturn that we traded it for.
    24
  1656. Every mechanic I know has a check engine light on lol
    24
  1657. Congrats on retirement, hope you enjoy it as much as you did working.
    24
  1658. We all have "life trolls" that show up when you don't want them to ...for me it's my brother in law.
    24
  1659.  @P_RO_  the problem is autocorrect on a cell phone. Why don't you explain what he is doing wrong so that we youngsters can learn more about how to fix carburetors? They don't build new cars with them anymore. Oh and yes, I've rebuilt a few from 2 barrel to 4 barrel, single and double pumper, etc. Ray also said he wasn't an expert on carburetors.
    24
  1660. If one zerk points backwards, I'd put the other one pointing forward so I can turn the wheels one direction and access both at the same time. Unlike the lower ball joints which both face backwards. Have to turn the wheels twice to access bofum.
    24
  1661. You keep doing what you do RainMan. In many ways that is what our country is about. I for one appreciate your candid approach to you work. Plastic nuts! You make me laugh often! Keep on keepin on my man.
    24
  1662. The only thing wrong with the vehicle was that the sensor grommet was torn and the sensor had come out of the hole in the tank. As such, just replacing the sensor fixed the problem. Therefore if he had done any other repairs to the vehicle beyond that it would have been fraud. An honest mechanic will only fix the problem and leave everything else alone. Whatever might happen later is irrelevant at that point.
    24
  1663. These short Vids are great Ray. Thank you for taking us along!
    24
  1664. the takeaway from this video, to quote the famous words of Abraham Lincoln: Don't believe everything you read on the internet
    24
  1665. your videos are getting bad.
    24
  1666. No apology needed.I watch your repairs because their very informative. I actually like your down to earth personality its actually funny and relaxing.
    24
  1667. Overkill box opening, I love it! Overkill is underrated.
    24
  1668. Glad to hear you’re doing better Ray! Had a good chuckle to myself when you made fun of the phone, we’ve missed it. How’s the family? Are they on the mend now too?
    24
  1669. ‘Member when the only scanner you needed was a paper clip ? #OBD1
    24
  1670. As a 66 year old woman I find this fascinating. I always wondered what the heck was under there - thanks for your videos!
    24
  1671. Sir you an absolute gentleman with kind heart,keep up the excellent work son.you make every one proud of you.
    24
  1672. I would've apologised profusely for not being quick enough, and then worked even slower. 😬
    24
  1673. When she was young, I bet that customer was the kid in the back seat asking, "Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?"
    24
  1674. Just because your truck got roasted on the Internet no need to be mean 😂
    24
  1675. Well.. on the flipside of this is that the truck body is aluminum, so lowers the chances of rust. Juuuust not the other parts.
    24
  1676. I just want you to know that I truly enjoy every video you post. Have been even before you moved to your new workplace. Be nice if there was more excellent mechanics like you. Good job
    24
  1677. You've addressed my biggest complaint about scan tools. The errors point at using the parts cannon, when a good diagnostician is the real cure. Which is why you're getting all the old work trucks. I only wish I could bring my car to you.
    24
  1678. Brake clean brothers!
    24
  1679. Cop running out of the bathroom with the gun drawn pants down around his ankles, you can go both ways on the gun part 😂😂😂
    24
  1680. I love my carburetors with their "BAM" acceleration, and transmissions that engage, the INSTANT you drop them in gear!
    24
  1681. I never buy them
    24
  1682. Having that railroad crossing right down the street from the shop is perfect for suspension diagnosis 👌
    24
  1683. I believe it wasn't a wasp it looked like a North American yellow crested hummingbird.
    24
  1684. You are the sole reason i make sure i set it on the locks. Until i saw one of your videos a while ago explaining about it, it never occured to me. Not a mechanic but i have access to a lift if i need it and i imagine getting final destination squashed if i dont set the locks.
    24
  1685. It would be my luck that I would break the plastic reservoir... first time I’ve seen a power bleeder used.
    24
  1686. Been watching Ray since well before he opened his own shop. I'm continually amazed at his ability to bring us along and teach us as he tackles projects that most of us wouldn't have attempted. Bravo Ray. Thank you for your educational videos.
    24
  1687. Yo I'm dropping my Infiniti off at the shop at 730 ish this morning. Would be really cool if ur the one to work on it and even cooler if it makes it into a video 😜. Hope to at least meet u. Btw it's for all new pads and rotors for a pulsation under heavy braking
    24
  1688. Oh man you got me tearing up you are so spot on about the "me" time...
    24
  1689.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  love the way you do things Ray, your channels great and you are far from a hack. If I were the customer, as long as it's not causing any immediate issues, I'd much rather wait for the right part to come in and correct the issue instead of "shimming" the caliper from the bracket. Plus you don't wanna mess up that shiny red paint on the fancy calipers haha
    24
  1690. I really enjoyed his bio of Ray… thanks to you both!
    24
  1691. At least his hands are clean!! Haha
    23
  1692. Ave is "our" hero, the enthusiasm is shared. Thanks for the content. Kind regards, South Africa
    23
  1693. Ray, from one mechanic to another, thank you for making these videos. When I started doing this job, I never thought I'd be expanding my diag knowledge/skills by watching YT channels for entertainment. When I started watching this video, I suspected a failed bank1 cat. Obviously I was wrong. Now if I ever come across a similar situation, I know what pids to look at as well as a probable cause I would never have initially considered.
    23
  1694. Thank you Ray and the same to you….
    23
  1695. I suspect it wasn't as funny at the time, however. Either way, it was good to see because it shows that you're a normal couple and will have tiny little disagreements every now and again. Kudos to you for jumping in and doing things that you're not familiar with normally. That being said however, use this as leverage and have Ray make it up to you by taking you out for a dinner date to a fine restaurant.
    23
  1696. "Ahh! The seats moving forward and crushing me". Me everytime I get into a short person's vehicle 🤣 I'm 6'2
    23
  1697. Will Ray you have another winner here BROTHER👍 your about halfway there to that hundred thousand🤔 subscribers👏🍻
    23
  1698. Ray, I enjoyed this vid, but I must confess I was rooting for the hammer and some broken glass. Would make a good part 2 (two).
    23
  1699. As an ex-mechanic I totally feel for you. I have watched the work that you do and I am so impressed. You take on work that I would have run a mile from in my working days. You did nothing wrong with this, it was a mine waiting to be stepped on and you were just unlucky.
    23
  1700. Given the plugged state of the old filter, you could leave the plastic film on the new one, and it will pass almost the same amount of air and never get dirty again😂
    23
  1701. I've always said that parts that are likely going to need to be replaced like water pumps, fuel pumps, thermostats, hoses, etc should be designed to be able to be easily replaced in under one hour.
    23
  1702. As a non subscriber. Great videos, awesome personality, and all around good human are the reasons I search YouTube to watch your videos. Not too many people today would care to help someone else in need. Thanks for reminding me that there is still good in the world
    23
  1703. Personally, I think a really good way to prevent monotonous repetition involving brake clean is to come up with your own sound effect for it. Mr. O from the south main auto channel has the market cornered so far on this prosperous endeavor.
    23
  1704. @4:40: “It’s cold out . . 60 degrees.” lol!
    23
  1705. Ford 4.0L thermostat housing is notorious for leaking🤦‍♂️
    23
  1706. Ah, the perils of being a YouTuber. I know the upload frustration well, as I used to have really bad upload speeds here, and it was common to leave a 10 minute video uploading overnight, only to find it had failed when you got up in the morning. Super-frustrating. Hope you resolve your connectivity issues. It may be your local provider blocking YouTube uploads due to data usage.
    23
  1707. Been thru the real death wobble with my brothers 350 ford flatbed. You think you just drove over a 6" high wash board for 1/4 mile it takes to stop it. That wasn't it. I truly believe it is initiated by a slight tap in the brakes at 60+ and the abs actually spasms. You cannot recover until complete stop. It is a real wake-up call. I've been driving for over 55 years in all conditions and was a mechanic in the USN. You have never experienced anything like it.
    23
  1708. I don't mind his "clicks". He only says it because of the torque trolls anyway. He's just trolling the trolls.
    23
  1709. 6:45 Ray is now working out of Tampa's hottest night club.
    23
  1710. 5:09 steel being softer than aluminum? Ray that's not what's written on the teleprompter, so stick to the script and stop feeding the trolls. It's uncanny how a parsimonious, overtly fastidious vehicle operator can maintain such a degree of constant rear differential pucker power and still afford to be so persnickety over their ride, when they can't trust themselves to park it without getting curb rash. My song request going out to Ray, coolest dude, best mechanical repair show on the internet: "Lunatic Fringe" by Red Rider, oldie but awesome hi-way tune when played in multiple decibels On a side note: My most sincerest thoughts and prayers go out to your buddy and his fiancé during this difficult time, I wish for nothing less than a speedy recovery.
    23
  1711. Very true, the source of supply is always a good starting point for electrical issues. The battery moved a bit when you tried getting the positive clamp off the battery. post. It seems it was not or not adequately secured.
    23
  1712. 25:20 "Don't laugh at me guys, you've all done it too." Ray, we only laugh because we've done it too! We know how it feels. :D
    23
  1713. Better than the porcelain saying click/snap/ooopps.
    23
  1714. This dude did a great brake job. He goes out of his way to do things correctly that a lot of other mechanics short cut because flat rate. Looks good from my house!
    23
  1715. Dirty Max gets some long needed attention
    23
  1716. I think everybody has a better attitude when working in a clean and organized environment. I have noticed since Troy has been working, the shop is organized.
    23
  1717. If you pound the dash to the left of the steering wheel and call it names, everything will reset. Next.
    23
  1718. Good for you brother!! That’s why I love watching your videos as well as Arod’s, I found him first and then you back when you were working at the last shop, maybe 8mos prior to you leaving and starting your own business, which has straight blown up-congrats, you do great mechanican, but because you’re honest and have integrity, which sadly, most people these days don’t even know what that word means let alone have any of it. Prayin for you and yours to continue to keep doing great things. Love the videos and keep them comin brother!! Take care! God bless~
    23
  1719.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  glad you made it home. Now get some rest.
    23
  1720. "I'm going to solve this immediate problem with a high-pressure mixture of nitrogen, oxygen, CO2, and an assortment of other gases". You're blowing more hot air, Ray. LOL. Keep up the great work.
    23
  1721. it is probably already wrong from the oversize tires and the old ratio on diff maybe it will be closer to correct
    23
  1722. Favourite part: You worked on a (effectively) Euro car and didn't complain about working on a Euro car LOL
    23
  1723. I like the longer videos. Great work!
    23
  1724. Im from the east coast of Canada, and yes, I was so mad watching you remove those exhaust without any issues 😂
    23
  1725. Why would a stuck thermostat result in no a/c? I dont get it. Does a/c require the coolant be at operating temp?
    23
  1726. Here is a extended comment, for your algorithm
    23
  1727. The tractor with the wheel falling off was hilarious 😂😂😂
    23
  1728. We never get bored watching you wrench. Keep it coming brother.
    23
  1729. @ Rainman Ray's Repairs  Give them FREE content, and some feel it's their god given right to leave nasty arrogant comments and Yes, I have a troll too. Someone watches every video as soon as it's released and thumbs down every one. Good thing YT counts Troll comments and Thumbs dow n as viewer interaction.
    23
  1730. never trust cheap parts good day to you ray great to be here and the most important thing is to have your self a great day
    23
  1731. Wooden blocks come in really handy for this stuff too because a lot of the time, the steel components will dig into the wood in such a way as to form an almost custom holding block before the wood compresses enough to hold it firmly in place. Not to mention different types of wood offer different densities opening up a wide range of trickety-tricks you can do on a press.
    23
  1732. Don't let Milton STEAL YOUR STAPLER! 🤣 🤣
    23
  1733. I don't know how I should feel about this. Ray, You've changed.
    23
  1734. Imagine working in a shop where every car belongs to Florida man
    23
  1735. The care to get it back, and effort. Followed by just dumping it on the side randomly. I would definitely do the same 😂
    23
  1736. But would buying a diesel generator make as interesting a video?
    22
  1737. Mr & Mrs Eversince have been around for decades.
    22
  1738.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  in upside-down land, you can't purchase refrigerant unless you're an authorised business, so even though I'm qualified to handle it, I can't buy it. I love all the comments about Australia
    22
  1739. Hahaha... First thing I did when you said Lincoln Town Car was yell "AIR SUSPENSION!" 🤣 And I don't even work on those... Heard LOTS of expensive stories about them, however.
    22
  1740. As Always: a very on-spot diagnostics and repairs. Wish we already had a matter transporter so we could beam you our vehicles for inspection. Nice one. Two big thumbs-up !!! Greetings from Puerto Rico.
    22
  1741. That intro was pretty awesome. Honestly pretty shocked a Chrysler piece of junk minivan has lasted past 150K. Especially with the amount of not maintenance done to it. Just wait until his TIPM makes his headlight stop working and doesn't want to pay the $1k plus bill.
    22
  1742. I’m no stranger to passing when it was probably a little too tight for comfort (in a passing zone at least), but dang this is just nuts. Has to be a kid who feels like they’re invincible or thinks real life is just like the video games. Assuming nothing’s gonna jump in the road and everyone’s gonna see them and move out of the way. They need a wake up call, now.
    22
  1743. Happy Hump day Ray and Happy 20th Wedding Anniversary for me.
    22
  1744. Yeah, saw that too... lol. Was like.... "uh... Ray...."
    22
  1745. Being a one man shop it’s good to have someone around in case an accident happens she will at least know how everything works or where to go to get help if anything ever happens.
    22
  1746. Same tho. Spooky
    22
  1747. We feel your pain Ray! We know your going to make it right, and that's what sets you apart from the rest! 😁
    22
  1748. No, thank you for making great content!
    22
  1749. ​ @RainmanRaysRepairs  : And, Ray, one other thing to check: That Dodge's Anti-Slosh Module. On my Ranger, there is an electronic control circuit board on the side of the instrument cluster called the "Anti-Slosh Module." What it does is compensate for the fuel in the tank when it "sloshes" or moves under acceleration and de-celeration -- meaning, as here with the Daytona Charger, that if the Anti-Slosh Module is failing to tell the PCM when the car is under de-celeration or stopped (i.e., getting off a freeway at an exit ramp or stopped at a light), that could explain why gas is in the EVAP lines, as the Anti-Slosh Module would not tell the PCM to close the EVAP components and seal that system properly, to prevent fuel from getting into the EVAP lines.
    22
  1750.  @tom535  That bumper sticker made it pull Right…the other guys sticker would make it pull left…
    22
  1751. ​ @squiggyg.8415 or, more likely, the bumper sticker has zero to do with it and they're just thieves. People who steal and cheat are going to steal and cheat regardless of politics. I can't stand Trump (I'm Canadian), but I'd decline the job if it bothered me enough. A reputation for doing quality work is more important than creating a safety issue for a customer who's politics I find reprehensible. I genuinely admire @RainmanRaysRepairs for his approach. He has pretty libertarian views, but he still seems to subscribe to the view of The Commons. He seems to be the kind of person who holds his rights dear, without abandoning the idea that as a society we have a responsibility to one another as well. It may be secondary to our partners and family, but when you have a consistent code of service, it applies to everyone. So a big thank you to Ray for sticking to principled views instead of slavishly following a leader or party. I admire that a great deal!
    22
  1752. This might raise a smile, my “critical component” incident today. Decided to change the oil and filter on my wife’s MX5. Simple job, do it on the driveway today. Finishing up, bent down to pick up the drain pan full of old oil. The ignition key, which I’d put in the top pocket of my overalls, fell out. Into the drain pan.
    22
  1753. I've put a ride on mower on the lift before, it was sideways, but it was on the lift and it made getting the deck off much easier. I once put a GX200 carb on a 160cc mower, the extra horsepower was very noticeable, and it still runs brilliant to this day. best upgrade possible for a mower other than a header pipe & jet upgrade... because if it works on a go-kart, do it to the mower too lol (but retain the governor, you need that)
    22
  1754. What is scary is that I have watched several videos where : the injector harness had the connectors close to EACH OTHER and they were MIXED , DITTO on coils and they MIXED up the connectors on the PHASERS on a VVT system . Most of these were a disaster with numerous parts and a computer replaced and the customer told " the car can't be fixed " . What's wrong with it : " I don't know " . Anytime things are MOLESTED , it's OPEN SEASON ! Looks like you are focused and on point with the job . Unfortunately , there are too many hacks that cause issues .
    22
  1755. Literally just finished watching another awesome video from you and then I got this. Perfect timing. Love the vids man keep ‘em up.
    22
  1756.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  lol i just had to

  1757. As someone from Australia the difference in customer service, as someone who isn’t a mechanic and is just learning via YouTube, and having grown up in a French restaurant (Bistro) the amount of money people get paid an hour here is so much more $25-$35hr depending on penalty rates for working Saturdays and Sundays, I find that they have all been really helpful in giving me information especially when I’m asking basic questions. When people feel valued and are paid a living wage then they are more than happy to help you. I ordered a couple of parts online the other day, and within an hour I got a phone call to say that they had supplier issues and they would have to give me a refund, as I was going to collect it in store I need to go in to get a refund, but they were really helpful. Not saying that’s my every experience with customer service, as fast food places hire kids who don’t get an adult wage until they are 21 so I definitely find a difference in some stores. But I’m sorry it happened and you felt defeated. Wishing you all the best mate.

  1758. Dave has got a nice Spirit. I see why you hired him Ray. Very nice adage to the people around you and your Family.
    22
  1759. Your not on your own with stress. Have a great day and stay calm👍
    22
  1760. In a situation like this I recommend driving 66 mph for 6 miles. -Satan
    22
  1761. Many channels have done something like that or have member only videos that’ll never be public. Usually behind the scenes stuff or whatever. Nothing wrong with that personally. Keep up the good work
    22
  1762. As long as you and the family are safe ray.That's what we care.Anything else other than that can be replaced but they can't.
    22
  1763. Well put. Unfortunately there will always be people that seem to take pleasure in destroying the happiness of others and that can be anything from one's profession to hobbies to more fundamental things like sex, race, religion, sexuality, etc. No matter what you do in life there will always be jerks out there- but more importantly there will always be those who will love you for who you are, and will celebrate you for your hard work, learning from your mistakes, etc. Some people add joy to the lives of others and some people get joy from doing the opposite.
    22
  1764. They wave at each other on the roads and treat everyone like a friend, Getting a duck is basically a show of respect for your car from another Jeep owner. It's so fun, and people display them in their cars
    22
  1765. CONGRATULATIONS RAY AND TEAM! It's very nice to be recognized by BG for doing a great job, technician of the month). We all appreciate the excellent videos as well. You ROCK!
    22
  1766. My number one saying when purchasing new tools. "Just in case"
    22
  1767. You doing a good job ray! You deserve a gold star for this one ⭐️
    22
  1768. God forbid you ask for peace. Who would want such a thing. Don’t know much about YouTube, but can you post the same vid on multiple platforms like X?
    22
  1769. Gotta love the classic brake clean sound! 😄
    22
  1770. Congrats on the new position Ray, hope it's works out great for you. Your are a awesome and honest mechanic who people can trust! Super rare to find in today's world! Always enjoy your videos!
    22
  1771. That's a neat robot welder thing! The ones I've seen automated before are spot welders.
    22
  1772. Thank you for showing us the struggle. I thought I was the only one who struggles removing nators. 🙂 feel better, Love the videos!
    22
  1773. We should ALL answer them with fake info and waste their time. The more time we're wasting, that's more time they're not succeeding.
    22
  1774. Why didn't you just use the $239 SnapOn universal electrical connector release tool (with extra fairy dust)? Maybe next time.
    22
  1775. Some moron commenter on Watch Wes Work argued with me that I would never have concluded to swap coil harness connections as a troubleshooting step. It's such an obvious step that any reasonable tech would jump right to it. Glad to see you prove it right.
    22
  1776. Salute you for tackling all brands. The German cars scares me. No fill plug? Really.
    22
  1777. You went to the right guy for that!! Mr Banks is a Diesel genius!! Turbo Genius too!!
    22
  1778. "I'm too big for this trunk." Careful, those were Billy Batts' famous last words.
    22
  1779. I hope you enjoy the oil filter cutter and mlnl prybars. I see you used one of those mini prybars on the seals. Love the videos Ray keep up the good work.
    22
  1780. Question. Why do Fords come equipped with magnetic bumpers? To collect the parts that fall out from under it while driving down the road.
    22
  1781. Cool car. I’d leave those fans as they are. I believe that’s factory standard to counter heat soak when you turn off the engine. I’ve had a couple of (factory original) cars that did the same. I’d also suggest 4AWG power and neg wires from the battery direct to the engine to reduce losses when starting.
    22
  1782. Good day to you too
    21
  1783. Sorry about your tester, thanks for taking the time to work with us. Look forward to seeing more content from you on this setup! No cringing on our side, this is what we like to see!
    21
  1784. You make the best YouTube Videos ever 😊👍
    21
  1785. Never seen a vehicle get totaled during a maintenance inspection before.
    21
  1786. I sent the link to my wifey, she was my car is so pretty. She wanted to thank you Ray! I want to thank you! You are very good at what you do bro. You have always been amazing with all of our vehicles. The price was great. I will be bringing it back in 1000 miles. Hopefully it will be sooner than a year. I didn’t realize we only put 4000 miles on the car in almost a year. I like the idea of the BG cleaning for the next oil change. On a side note get them guys to clean the floor. I’m kidding. Still looking good. We will have to schedule time for me to do the 3rd bay. Keep it up you’re doing awesome.
    21
  1787. Excellent news. Glad you are all safe and sound.
    21
  1788. I emailed you the CAT 289D3 Skid Steer CAT Maintenance Manual in PDF Format about a month ago. Did you receive it?
    21
  1789. Look at interior light while working glass. If light dims it’s the motor
    21
  1790. When you can’t sleep watching one of Ray’s great videos is time well spent.
    21
  1791. Still a great video. You taught me a hell of a lot about current shifty used car lot practices.
    21
  1792. ErictheCarGuy did stuff like this back in the day. In a decaying society, thanks for making the world a better place, gentlemen. #FixItForward.
    21
  1793. Yeah we Lube them because we'd rather take the chance than let all the rust build up and really lock up the pads It helps up here tremendously fight off rust growth
    21
  1794. Cool trick mounting that nut inside the frame. The people that watch your videos have been saved and bailed out on their own repairs thousands, perhaps millions of times. That is an awesome accomplishment you should be proud of.
    21
  1795. keep us updated on this one ray i am very interested in what you find
    21
  1796.  @brandonstclair6530  Ray stated that the customer located the Weber carb and had it sent to the shop. This was all done at the customer's request. Ray's only assumption was that it would be a direct bolt on, then did everything he could to make it work for the application. I can find no fault whatsoever in how he remedied the issue. Ray is one of the few mechanics I know that I would let work on my vehicles, I'll tell you that much.
    21
  1797. Ray, I'm shocked you missed the doodly-doo at the beginning of the video. It's ok I did it for you!
    21
  1798.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  shouldn't the work dictate the length of the video ? I say at over a half million subs.... you're doing something right
    21
  1799. Thanks for digging into the iDash, Ray! You're the reason we made it. In all seriousness, we can't wait to see what you measure with it next.
    21
  1800. The dog had that look like go away you're embarrassing me 😂
    21
  1801. Thank God my '04 doesn't have direct injection.
    21
  1802. Need more Clicks.
    21
  1803. So much suspense as you were picking up the 10mm with the magnet haha
    21
  1804. Need an admin day here and there to get things sorted to keep things running smoothly. Merry Christmas Ray, Lauren and the kiddos! Also Dave!
    21
  1805. Ray, remember if you install your air compressor in the back of the shop it's not gonna have optimum ventilation...could run hot & build up lots more condensation in the tank. If you stay there awhile those retractable air lines & retractable power cords are awesome & stay cleaner than dragging them on the ground. Man I'm so exited for you....congrats !!
    21
  1806. Great video under the Car. out of interest what mount are you using for the image to be so stable or are you doing that in post editing?
    21
  1807. Remember, boys and girls, ALWAYS remove the fill plug BEFORE you remove the drain plug. Glad to see that Denso coils were used. I did this about 3 years ago, on the wife's 2008 Highlander. Genuine Toyota coils are very pricey - but I only wanted to cry once. The Car Care Nut's channel had an excellent video for this procedure.
    21
  1808. Getting really close to 500k subscribers Ray....Way to go !! Any plans to celebrate ? 🎉🎊
    21
  1809. Chickens have to be one of my favorite animals. Flash flood warning, Cat 5 hurricane force winds, and they are just chilling by the porch like nothing is going on. Anyhow you and your family stay safe Ray!
    21
  1810. We seriously need a boat. We get it Wednesday 🙄
    21
  1811. Three minutes in and I want that shifter knob for my next car. On the voice track, you explain things clearly and intelligently and completely and mostly just once, or at most twice, which is great. Many other folk on YT channels repeat themselves too much. Get the feeling you do some preaching, you have some very well articulated observations and thoughts about life stuff.
    21
  1812.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  ignore this ding dong. You do good work and have forgot more then the keyboard warriors know. 🍺🍺🍺 Thank you for the videos!
    21
  1813. Whoever doesn't feel like dying doing what they love would be an oddity to me.
    21
  1814. Much respect , you always make us viewers so involved . You listen to our comments good to bad . Keep doing ur thing , always enjoy ur vids
    21
  1815. I feel bad for this person. That really sucks . I always get my husband to look over everything before I buy it. Because I have no idea what I'm looking at
    21
  1816. Your wrong, first off a police car is high usage on city streets, its more prone to have break downs also emergency vehicles must be kept in tip top shape, as far as tax dollars go you can spend 500 to 1000 to keep up the vehicles or buy new ones @60k each Its cheaper to keep it running smooth. Keeping it up saves tax payers money. When you need to call 911 do you want dispatch to tell you yes we have no cops today, or its too far to walk!
    21
  1817. For me, the VIN Mismatch was the RED FLAG... and thanks but no thanks, take it to the BMW dealership.
    21
  1818. My heartfelt sympathies go out to all those affected especially those who lost loved ones. It's overwhelming to see so much wide spread devastation. I share Ray's sentiments exactly, now is the time for everyone to come together, put affiliations and menial distractions aside and help those who are in desperate need of it.
    21
  1819. That was an AAAAANNNNGGGGGRRRRYYYY click on the oil pan bolt.
    21
  1820. I would think that if someone questions what you’ve done or how you did it or if you caused other problems, it would be good for you and the dealership to have a video record
    21
  1821. "What a difference a Dave makes" I like that! Is that your Dave?
    21
  1822. Awesome to see the third life being installed, seems like yesterday you were posting the "I got fired" Video 👍 Name of the last shop that car was in is "95% Repairs", their motto is "Eh, good enough" 🤪
    21
  1823. Screw them the only thing you hate is cheap parts Ray i support you 💯
    21
  1824. I researched the address of the shop on the oil change sticker and literally found a picture of Ray in a group photo with the other employees and staff
    21
  1825. While working on my '99 Toyota Camry replacing the converter lockup solenoid. I had to remove the valve body. I took a picture of the valve body, printed it out, tapped it to a piece of cardboard. Punched holes where the bolts go, and put each bolt in it's hole. Worked great!
    21
  1826. A cooling fan for our fur missles PUPPY POWER for days. Love your videos
    21
  1827. That K-Mart torque wrench belongs with my JCPenney socket set. 😀
    21
  1828. my two favorite YouTube mechanics watch each other. awesome! really tho, you two are amazing.
    21
  1829. Rule of YT... If it's too good to be true it IS.
    21
  1830. When I first started watching this video, I noticed the pic quality seemed to be better. Also, speed of "any" mem card will always be faster than the camera can write. Looks like you made a good investment. By the by, on Amazon, there are a set of Gear Wrench magnetic spark plug sockets with swivels for $53.
    21
  1831. Ray, a word of advice to you. As I've stated before, I have an '04 LB7 that has well in excess of 500,000 miles. We also know that things wear out when they get old. One problem I am experiencing with mine is coolant leaking at the rear of the engine. I've been told by a factory trained mechanic that the rear engine adapter plate has some O-rings sealing a coolant passage back there. It is between the engine and transmission which in my case requires lifting the entire truck and unbolting the tranny from the engine in order to gain access. Parts not included, the cost of labor quoted me was in the neighborhood of $1200.00. Not only does the tranny have to be pulled, so does the oil pan. It's up to you, but this seems like an ideal time to resolve this future problem.
    21
  1832. Love it, quadruple checking your own diagnostic work, gets the hard hat nod. Also, for those who are here to acquire knowledge, this is good content. And, in parting, wear safety squints when handling refrigerants, liquid refrigerant is bad for the human optics, very. Frozen cornea's are not what you want to experience, been close to experiencing that, very real danger. Gloves also recommended, it will cause frostbite before you realize what has happened, if a liquid line bursts while you have exposed skin near it. And, then the wound essentially has to be treated in much the same way as a 3rd degree burn. Be safe around refrigerants.
    21
  1833. Hoping you feel better each day! We don’t mind old footage. Bring it on. Respectfully, Kevin
    21
  1834. Lets be honest. Your mental health has improved because you can throw all the brake cleaner cans all over the place. It's your signature move! Seriously though, I watch your videos to learn a little bit and to have a laugh. When you drive the vehicles I pay close attention to the sound related to the problem and it's something I keep in mind when I drive. I've learned that little things, if addressed early, saves you ton of money in the future. Keep it up!
    21
  1835. Thank you for your content and your positive outlook on life Ray
    21
  1836. Rays double play Wednesday! From Infinity to junkyard and beyond to this
    21
  1837. It must be frustrating RAY to rework someone else's job to make it correct! BROTHER 👍
    21
  1838. I knew you were being facetious as soon as I started reading your comment. Hopefully the trolls are on another channel today.
    21
  1839. TY Ray for paying respect honour and the openness into this mans life story. I love watching Rich's videos and if ever I could manage to get both of you into a nice bar I would buy you both a drink and just sit back and sip a beer and listen to you both talk. you are my kind of humans, life throws us all curve balls and it is how we learn to read them and adapt to them and eventually overcome them that makes us humans. Love for what you do is the best kind of work it becomes a part of who you are. Ty again I know the pain of growing up in a broken home and I am the man i am by following very much your paths in life. i am proud of who i am I am a happy loved man and I pass on that love to all I come in contact with. Keep Safe Keep Strong My Dear Friend🦘🦘🦘🦘💖💖💖💖
    21
  1840. Recently discovered this channel and have been binge watching the videos lol. Bit sad the bad mechanics make most people suspicious of your profession but atleast your not one of them :) hope you and whoever else reads this has a good day.
    21
  1841. I used craftsman and never bought any snap on. As Patrick says tools don't make the mechanic. Any more then a $10000 set of golf clubs is going to make you an expert golfer. You need the skill. Brand name is just psychology and how much of your pay check you want to give way. Ray is a skilled mechanic and spending out on snap on does not make him any better. That is simply his choice.
    21
  1842. Yes yes, very good scam ray, well done sir! Also I love that you are trolling people with that cap 🤣🤣
    20
  1843. Nicely done Ray! Great to see you and WU teaming up and continuing to build your empire!!!!
    20
  1844. Excellent tutorial on the EGR system and use of a scan tool for troubleshooting it. I learned a lot today.
    20
  1845. "little punk kid" 🤣🤣
    20
  1846. I bypassed the PS cooler on my 80something FWD Cutlass and never noticed a difference in performance. The only difference was the fluid was no longer leaking all over the driveway.
    20
  1847. 🎉
    20
  1848. Ray, I hope you take your wife out for a nice dinner as a reward for the great job she did. That takes both excellent control and driving skills to do that as good as she did. Very well done.
    20
  1849. That’s how the algorithm works. They know too much.
    20
  1850. Your videos are part of my morning routine.a video and coffee.I'm in michigan and they come at 6 am.I only wish they came at 5 when I get up but please keep them coming.your videos are a little enjoyment before I go work on rusty cars all day.
    20
  1851. All your effort in preparing for the worst on #3 shock made me laugh when it required no effort to remove the top nut! I like it works like that. "Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it". Nice job 👏 once again Ray!
    20
  1852. The most fun in this video is listening to you interact with your son. You’re starting him learning basic concepts, it’s great!
    20
  1853. I saved a 1985 S10 from the crusher several months ago. Has the 1.9 Isuzu 4 cylinder/ 4 speed manual. Runs like a top.
    20
  1854. This whole going out on your own thing is just great. Could you imagine working in the other shop, going to the service writer to advise this car doesn't need any parts? They really would have loved you for that one!!!!!! Soon customers will be telling other people about you will be so busy you will go through the hiring process, bigger shop, etc. Keep on Truckin or, Dirty Maxing!!
    20
  1855. MAN. That sludge is ridiculous.
    20
  1856. This is like being a kid finding a hidden video in the game 😀😀
    20
  1857. Ray's just about to go over 1/2 million subscribers. Congratulations Ray!!!
    20
  1858. Great to see that Lauren has been able to attend SEMA this year. The new gen 3 wrenches look great. Hope you all have lots of fun!
    20
  1859. grabs second thermometer even though there is already one in the AC vent (with the red "remove before flight tag") get inside car realizes first thermometer being present swiftly removes first thermometer off camera and continues to insert the second one i saw you there :p
    20
  1860. Later that night by the light of the moon in an empty field, while a bugle softly plays Taps. A crane slowly lowers the the remains of this truck into it's final resting place. Rest in piece old friend your journey is done.
    20
  1861. Yeah man his coverage is awesome! I mean who the hell else would dive through a doggie door to get out of a hurricane? Nobody I tell you nobody.
    20
  1862. I found myself wheezing/chuckling "what a dickhead" lol
    20
  1863. I fully remember when these things roamed the earth when they were new. Ever heard of a Grand National? That's your basis. This would be the great basis for a sleeper to stick a GN motor in it.
    20
  1864. Truly epic video Ray, you just made my week I'm dieing laughing.
    20
  1865. Just awesome! Your subscribers have your back Ray! Big shout out and thanks for the knowledge dump on those transmissions! 😁😁😁
    20
  1866. If I remember correctly, if you put 2 axle jacks under each axle and lift to ride height then it is easier to replace control arms. I also think i remember having to use a ratchet strap ( or come along) to move axle around for better placement. Great video as usual! 🙂
    20
  1867. In many States, they have added “premises open to the public” to the areas where they may ticket you. A premises open to the public is simply private property where the public can access. Why, any sane person would ask. Simple, they need more revenue of course. Anyway, great video again, thank you.
    20
  1868. I'm 50 years old and completely understand how not knowing is upsetting to a younger man. You show true wisdom admitting this was not in your scope of expertise because it could get FAR uglier if things didn't go correctly. Telling a customer you don't know $2000 later would be way worse. Good call sir!
    20
  1869. Yikes
    20
  1870. You are brave soul Ray, starting a new shop, and watching the brood at the same time. Been there, done that, the "Wife Unit" saved my bones on that one. she was a lot of help doing the Scheduling.
    20
  1871. I'm so sorry I can't donate, but what I can do if spread the word and ask others I know to spread the word out. Sending good vibes his way and to his family. Peace Ray.
    20
  1872. Hey Ray! You've got my vote on a PM video for the CAT 289D3. 😁😁😁
    20
  1873. I completely understand you not wanting to say your news til it's concrete but these cliffhangers are driving me crazy. Lol I'm so curious. Your still young and can do so many things. What ever your next adventure is, I hope it brings you lots of success and happiness. You definitely deserve it. ✌️
    20
  1874. One of our senior techs at the shop had the company work truck which was the same one you're working on in this video same setup he put a radiator in it and an upper radiator hose and lower radiator hose and it took like five attempts to get the air out of the system so hard to get out of this fan and kept showing that it was overheating even though it was just pockets of air that were trapped in the system it was taking forever to travel out even using the vacuum fill system
    20
  1875. Not really dude. Any damage to this monstrosity of a mockery of a properly mod'd, serviced and maintained truck was done way before Ray got to it.
    20
  1876. Your tool box looks a little like mine, rather than some of the tours i’ve seen on YT. Being busy means less sparkly and less organized. The real world. :)
    20
  1877. I just started watching about 2 days ago. It amazes me on how you can go and work on so many different makes and models. I would definitely want you to work on my car. I don’t know what all these other haters are complaining about.
    20
  1878. Hey Ray. This is Randy in Chattanooga, Tennessee. I can remember when you had to call the operator to make a long distance call; before there was “direct distance dialing ”.
    20
  1879. Watching Ray Great way to start the day
    20
  1880. Love the custom high performance chromed out oil cap. It doubles engine torque and horse power.
    20
  1881. Great to see you back, got worried for a while. 😷
    20
  1882.  @RainmanRaysRepairs don’t listen to this nonsense Ray you’re the man. I do live close by to your shop and will be bringing my vehicle to you when needed.
    20
  1883. Definitely recommend this process on both petrol and diesel systems. Just remember to check your product for suitability for the actual system. For example, there are a lot of old style products out there that are not suitable for CRD or GDI pumps and injectors.
    20
  1884. Smash that like button! Let's help ray hit trending!
    20
  1885. Rainman I'm just so glad to be here and glad to hear that you are once again are glad to be here. I think we are all glad to be here. We are all sitting comfortable wait patiently on you called us all together to learn a little, laugh a little and hopeful getting a taste of yourself talking nicely to the parts and tools.
    20
  1886. seeing a pro put a bracket on upside down makes an amateur like me smile. If I do it enough will i be as good as you?
    20
  1887. Covid and u tube can sure bring out some stupid comments Keep up the good work
    20
  1888. After all those comments here, I’ve just one thing to add. Slow-mo clickage was the Cherry on top😂😂, thank you Sir
    20
  1889. The shop is looking good Ray, you are doing a great job with the help of the Wife Unit
    20
  1890. I was like there's no way Ray is that type of guy, seeing all the good deeds you do. I'm operating with that same mentality at my garage I'm just opening. I already won one customer over, for telling them to trade while they can. Before the snowball effect started getting even worse then it already was
    20
  1891. Hi Ray, just a tip. If you cut a square piece of cloth and dab your socket in a little grease, place the cloth on the end of the socket so you can get too and pull out the bolt/nut when you are done undoing them. Saves making up four letter words. Most of us have used the cloth trick but the grease helps a lot, just don't use to much.
    19
  1892. I was literally crying laughing so hard with the fluid shower. Gasoline is the most fun in the armpit...lol Those things I definitely don't miss. Have been retired since 2013. You are doing great and love the addition to the Wife unit page. You guy's make a great team. Click.
    19
  1893. I can almost see the air in the tires
    19
  1894. Who else is up at 11 PM cst scrollin' on you tube?
    19
  1895. 2:26 - Caffeine kicks in.
    19
  1896. Ray, don't put band-Aids on gun shot wounds!
    19
  1897. On the question of 'Knipex' or 'Nipex'. It is a German brand and in German it is pronounced 'Knipex' with an audible K. Greetings from Germany - love your videos.

  1898. Cleetus, JD diesel, Adam LZ all have a pretty prominent community standing in that area. Word travels faster than that shit box. I'd reach out to all three of them. There's a few more big names in speed around your area who's names escape me and they're all friends or acquaintances with one another. I'd share it with the other local go fast YouTubers, you'll have a name in no time flat.
    19
  1899. Damn! He put the other guy on the shoulder of the road! Great video Ray!
    19
  1900. Trust and Verify was said by President Ronald Reagan when discussing relations between the US and the former Soviet Union way back in the 1980's. It was told to President by a Scholar of Russian History by Suzanne Massie

  1901.  @tomvines4557  Wife units are always in charge of the banks.
    19
  1902.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  o boy all this tip talk is getting me frisky 🤣
    19
  1903. Ray deserves a tip for doing something nice.
    19
  1904. I had a Rhodesian Ridgeback. I named her Copper. She was the best dog I ever had. She loved the water and was very protective of me and my son. I miss her so much. Great dogs and they can be very mean to other dogs who are not part of the pack. Your family becomes part of the pack.
    19
  1905. I've been watching your videos for a few months now. Wanted to say for a self shot channel your shots are excellent. If you do start your own gig, would like to wish you the best of luck. Keeping your truthfulness and thoroughness will take you far. Thanks for the very entertaining and informative channel.
    19
  1906. Having worked for Fastenal for a short time, I can tell you that many automotive fasteners are proprietary. Fastenal has on the shelf your vanilla bolts and such in grade 5,8, and some in grade 10 for industrial applications. They have them in stainless, metric, fine thread, coarse thread. You come into the shop with something non-standard, like a 4 inch long 1/2 inch hex head bolt that has more than 1.5 inches of thread, you’re in custom order territory, and that can cost a small fortune and will take a couple weeks.
    19
  1907. good day to you Ray another amazing video Ray the content is outstanding love it but the most important thing is to have yourself a great day
    19
  1908. LOL on October 30th this year I was in a Halloween parade. When I returned home and backed into my driveway, my F150's odometer hit 166666.6 miles.
    19
  1909. That's a whale of a leak. Smoke machines are money makers and time savers. I remember years ago using starting fluid to try to get engine to Rev before I got my smoke machine
    19
  1910. Great wake up call Ray ! There will be a bunch up us on our backs checking out our baby's rear end ! Oh Yeah!
    19
  1911. Ray, hope you have a great long weekend. After watching many of your vids, I finally bought myself a cordless 1/2" impact😁 I should have bought one years ago. Living in the rust belt of Eastern Ontario, Canada, road salt is extremely hard on bolts and anything metal in particular. I am in the "process" of replacing the front brakes on my 2003 Silverado. What should be an easy peasy job is turning into a nightmare (just did all 4 rotors, pads, and calipers about 2 years ago, front wheel bearings 3 years ago) First of all, I get the front wheels off (used my new impact...worked awesome🤘) and noticed I had a broken front sway bar😲, end was broken, so ordered a new one, once again the impact was great, considering the sway bar was factory. Had to use a wheel puller to get the front left rotor off😜 I'm getting there, just waiting on parts to arrive. I appreciate what a tech goes through when working on vehicle repairs that should be a walk in the park but in actuality turn out to be hell on earth😆 Always a treat to just sit down and watch one of your videos and to take a break from rusty parts😜 Have a good one.
    19
  1912. I liked the way you hooked the wires together. But just a tip. Do not melt the solder with your iron onto the wires. You should heat the wires with the soldering iron and then melt the solder by touching it to the heated wires. Then you will get a much better flow and connection.
    19
  1913.  @KRT045  Only Florida Man 😂
    19
  1914. another outstanding video Ray love the content but the most important thing is to have yourself a great day Ray amazing
    19
  1915. I agree with the guys referring to your new water scoop. A snorkel would be better in my opinion. By the way , I hope you do something about those bald tires soon. It doesn't appear very safe(hydroplaning) from the video.
    19
  1916. The Corvette repair is very interesting. Such a unique vehicle. Great workmanship on your part. Thank you Ray!
    19
  1917. I believe this van belongs to the same family as broken PentaStar engine
    19
  1918. Maybe you should call the warrenty people, hold the phone in the area of the clicking, then tell them it isn't another phaser. But something on the right side near the firewall. Always love someone at the other end of the phone saying you aren't seeing/hearing what you're seeing/hearing.
    19
  1919. Ray, thanks for showing us what an auto mechanic's last day on the job is like. 🙂
    19
  1920. I see you're getting a head start on April 1st. Good that you expressed what was going on at the end of the video. Well done as usual.
    19
  1921. drops wrench ... "Gravity" ... gotta love a workplace where dad humour rules.
    19
  1922. Not really. These wheels are torqued down at a very high amount of torque. The impact wrench he uses has a torque limited on and is not even CLOSE to the torque it finally needs.
    19
  1923. As a service professional in a different-but-not-so-different service profession, I really connected with and appreciated the wisdom of your words in the opening minutes of this video. It's something I'm still working on. Thank you, good sir.
    19
  1924. Welcome back Ray. Good to see you've overcome the virus.
    19
  1925. That's telling him, Don KUNTz.... Kintz... Sorry, typo.
    19
  1926. Wow…those steering components looked to be as secure as a Boeing 737 door plug.
    19
  1927. “A” service is oil change, 1 is rotate tires.
    19
  1928. 17:30 the corrosion you fought on that isn't even a tenth we have to deal with here in the north, it'd have you tearing your hair out. The Ford Triton v8s with the cracking exhaust manifolds are double fun when the bolts and nuts attaching it to the head have rusted to dust and no fastner will fit, add to it the galvanic corrosion of the steel bolts to the aluminum head and they snap off in the head and you have about 2 days of the worst hell you can imagine
    19
  1929. As the official bearing aficionado of this channel. He is replacing what is called a Hub 1 bearing. The darker side is a magnetic seal that the wheel speed sensor reads. The other side is a regular seal. Just in case you didn't know.
    19
  1930. I enjoy watching so much that I didn't even realize that you had tricked me into watching another oil change video until 15:30!
    19
  1931. I don't care how long it takes to a point. The three hours it took to change the oil in my truck at the dealer a few weeks ago when I made an appointment was a little excessive. I was like are you going to Texas to get the crude and refining this shit on the way back to stl?
    19
  1932. *does NOT indicate...
    19
  1933. Ray. Your tenacity and devotion to your work and life is inspiring.
    19
  1934. Haven't been here in a while, this popped up on my feed, even though I have notifications off (I can only watch so many car videos). I like what you said, makes complete sense. You'll be fine.
    19
  1935. I worked at Renault dealership here in U.K.( Bodyshop) I’d parked a van up, and it was throwing it down with rain, so I started running down the line of parked vehicles and ran straight into a tow hitch on a van,broke my left shin, and knocked my self out on a car bumper on my way down, one of my colleagues saw it on cctv, and called an ambulance immediately. 2 months off work, and I couldn’t drive for 3 months. Tow hitches can be dangerous
    19
  1936. I can see Ray at a YouTube award show someday, receiving a little trophy of some kind, showing it off and then throwing it down and everyone would scream "ANOTHA!!!" A la brakleen😊
    19
  1937. 4:11 I think the most important feature of that winch would be the strength and reliability of the cable brake
    19
  1938. Nice job man! Good to see there's still good people out there!
    19
  1939. Rainman ray speaks the truth about the gloves and everything else. I would really hope people would have “common knowledge “ when you talking about motor oil…I mean come on. I really don’t think he would read the vehicle takes decos 5w30(or whatever) then puts in trans oil. I mean really? I would let Rainman Ray work on all my vehicles and work vehicles. He does awesome work and he is very knowledgeable in this field.
    19
  1940. What you went through today reminded me of an old engineer once told me. By the time I finish building the fence I will know enough to start building the fence.
    19
  1941. Proud of ya dude. Glad to see you've bounced back and got your own spread. I'm willing to bed you've got alot of customers that followed you 👍👍
    19
  1942. When I saw the 'little metal shim deal' drop, in my head I worded 'oh damn I wish I had a camera running... oh wait'. Then you looked to check the other side and still assumed a wrong position, couldn't wait to see the reinstall on the new control arm. Hecking delivered, when time came to massage it back you had it already in the right orientation. Very nice job and somehow really enjoyed watching this.
    19
  1943. Man, you’re so damn close to 50k. When I Discovered your channel you only had 4.46k.
    19
  1944. Looks like Ray got a new friend ( helper ) 😂
    19
  1945. Wow Ray, easily my favorite car you’ve had on your channel so far. Sorry Delorean.
    19
  1946. My old man taught me cup your hand with grease at bottom and push in the grease from the top and bottom. Each has their own technique. Great video! Have a greatvreat of your day.
    19
  1947. Ray, I doubt you have time to read all the comments, but for some of the others here, the oil you see on the turbo mouthpiece and on the wheel is actually condensed oil mist from the pcv valves. Although perfectly normal and as engineered, it's detrimental to the turbo. Some owners reroute the pcv's to atmosphere or a catch can. Looking forward to more videos.
    19
  1948. If someone owns an Infiniti, they probably have more money than sense.
    19
  1949. You are a master of many things but I admire your patience in this instance most of all.
    19
  1950. Ah yes. An oil pan leaking on an LS engine. I think just about every 5.3 or 6.0 I've ever worked on that had 150k or more has had a leaky oil pan and leaky valve covers. No telling how many I've fixed for folks over the years. I mostly work on German cars but have done this repair many times on this engine. Good video. You just got a new subscriber
    19
  1951. Hundreds of dogs were murdered by adulterated dog snacks from China. They have ZERO accountability therefore their products are crap. Or in case of the dog treats, they were plastic.
    19
  1952. Ray spinning the axle with a drill is every mechanic’s second childhood dream. Including myself!
    19
  1953. First person in a long time I've seen correctly patch a tire from the inside snd and take the extra time to add sealant internally. Good job 👏 👍 👌 🙌
    19
  1954. The Eric O brake clean intro was the icing on the cake. Love your videos Ray!
    19
  1955. Good morning everyone
    19
  1956. Dave seems like a Nice guy… Quiet and calm😊
    19
  1957. I remember the old XS 650 Yamahas had the headlight feed routed through the field coil circuit. When the headlight went out it meant it's time for new brushes. The outer brush would typically wear at about a 2-1 ratio the inner brush due to the higher surface speed.
    19
  1958. I stumbled onto your channel by accident and am glad I did. I applaud the diagnostic logic you employ. This applies to the use of the scan tool mainly. But, I've seen you use it to isolate problems (sensor/wiring/computer module). My 6 years in the US Navy (4 at sea) as an ET, I learned much from senior techs and passed my knowledge to newer techs later on. Bravo sir!!!
    19
  1959. Hi Ray, in my book you are an asset to the shop and a champion for the customer. You’re the best, job well done.
    19
  1960. Just like that old expression" The reports of my demise have been greatly exaggerrated"
    19
  1961. Oh I love how it's ever since the A/C was serviced the check engine light is on saying that you messed with it if I had a nickel for everytime that was said we technicians be millionaires lol
    18
  1962.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  do you find afew cars over charged by customers? Or only brand new ones overcharged by gm XD
    18
  1963. Well, I suppose a tight plug in a Ford 4.6L is a good thing. Better than a loose one that shoots through the hood. Eeeew Champion? I don't even put them in my lawnmower.
    18
  1964. I love the dual Cherry Bombs!
    18
  1965. Loving this series
    18
  1966. First time I ever heard a pressure washer running at 10,000 rpm. LoL
    18
  1967. Yes ty. Your the best at showing us and proper procedures.
    18
  1968. Voting for you and your wife for the Matt’s Off Road Olympics as the non-off roader team. It would be awesome to see favorite YouTubers on the same videos! :)
    18
  1969. perfectly films it. oh no i didn't actually expect it to break. yeah sure.
    18
  1970. I want to say I appreciate your content. I just discovered your channel last week, which worked out well since I was stuck in bed with covid. I watched I don't know how many hours our you wrenching. My dog even sat on the end of the bed and watched, and he doesn't usually watch the TV. I think the sound of the electric ratchet and impact keeps his attention. Probably kept my attention too, zip zip.
    18
  1971. "We want our Jeep back. But we want it fixed. But, we want our Jeep back. But, we want it fixed . . . "
    18
  1972. This isn't much Ray but what you and Eric are doing to help this family. Not only are you a great mechanic but your a man with a good heart I did go thank Eric on his channel as well thanks again for being you Ray!!!!
    18
  1973. Morning Ray. Project Jeep CJ-7. Let the fun begin.
    18
  1974. It's just a troll Ray. He doesn't know how much you love and know your truck. @RainmanRayOffDuty 
    18
  1975. Bless you, Rainman. A new video at ~5 in the morning while my hyper puppy is distracted by breakfast?? Yeeeeessssssssssss
    18
  1976. Ray, I dont agree with you. Its not Combustion Chamber, its the Combustion Palace! 😂
    18
  1977. as a certified torque spec engineer I must say, Your in/lbs calibration in your arm/wrist device is dead on balls accurate.
    18
  1978. Hey Ray, ever get the feeling that engineers watch mechanics videos just to get "improvement" ideas on how to make things harder for mechanics?
    18
  1979. We love it here in my house, our nine year old daughter Kyleigh won't stop saying popping zee hood and we love it!! Of course our 12 year old son Jamal loves to say click when tightening anything. Keep up the daily shenanigans Ray and fam.
    18
  1980. Awesome job Ray. I watched all the videos on this repair. Good to see it back together and running.
    18
  1981. This is why when I go to the junk yard I’m already like “that’s a nice vehicle why is it here?”
    18
  1982. Fellow Aussie here - hubby and i both watch Ray - we often have "do dee doo"
    18
  1983. as an ex mechanic its nice to see the, okay lets be careful getting this out, Okay guess youre stuck a little, OKAY YOURE COMING OUT WHATEVER IT TAKES sequence when he tries to get the rest of the CV out
    18
  1984. Young man you turned out good. Watching you makes me respect what you are willing to do to accomplish your goal. I am sure you were raised by good folks. Please tell them thank you form this iowa old man that respects their fine SON PEACE!
    18
  1985. Guys and gals, we are ONLY 3K away from putting Ray over that 500K mark. FIRST, check and make sure YOU are still subscribed because sometimes the gremlins get in there and dump you out. SECONDLY, if you are subscribed, talk to your friends and family, ESPECIALLY if they have an interest or love their cars. I know it might be hard but we MIGHT be able to get Ray to that mark by Easter. Let's do it!.
    18
  1986. You shouldn't have to apologize. I just used to watch the free ones, which there are many. I enjoy your videos, your personality, knowledge, sense of humor, and amazing skills and abilities. I decided to pay, not expecting anything more than anyone else gets. I, along with the very many people who pay, appreciate you. Keep up the great job you're doing, I appreciate you!❤️
    18
  1987. Good day to you Ray from your friends in the UK 🇬🇧, even if we are sad at the moment at the loss of a great, inspirational, and humble lady. Rest in peace Elizabeth 😢
    18
  1988. I will be interested in seeing that diff cover and sensor go in to see it in operation. I watched all Mr Banks videos on his experiments on diff covers and the nasty replacements out there verses stock. He does wonderful work!! ❤️ Cheers Y'all!!
    18
  1989. Ahhh the good ol doo de doo 👌
    18
  1990. Hey Ray.....news flash. For some reason those flashy thingys were never installed on BMW's. EVER.
    18
  1991. Oh boy, I found your channel a few days ago, and I have watched so many of your videos since that I feel I can fix my own car now XD
    18
  1992. I'm about to fuck with you. 2 Master techs, and 3 journeyman all under the same roof for over 30 years (outside of me I ain't that old yet) using torque limiters to put wheels back on.... Not a single one has ever came off, the ones that come back for retorque the lugs didn't even budge. We test and replace the limiters as needed but since torque sticks started to be a thing all of them swear by it and have fixed more vehicles than you've ever touched. We work on everything in this shop too, it's a GM shop but old classics, drag cars, grain trucks, RVs, fuck even boats and little electric scooters come in because we really don't care. If it's a vehicle of sorts we will work on it. Now I'm gonna go and say it also looks like he used turquoise or w/e so that's torqued to 140 ft lbs. Could be wrong, just looks like it. I haven't seen the video yet just seen your stupid ass comment pinned to the top because you still run an old mentality. You're the kind of guy that fizzles out in this field because you really can't keep up with shit at all or how things work. Anyways, side note with Torque Limiters. Be careful on a-lot of dodges not to just ram (no pun intended) it after it stops. Those studs seem to like to stretch with time. I had a few lube bay guys fuck this up because they figure it's limiting it so I can just keep on going to be extra sure. I am the guy who uses a stick then checks with a Torque Wrench after, just how I am but I'll be damned if anymore idiots spread misinformation on tools based on their youtube favorites.
    18
  1993. Welcome back, glad you got through ok. I've never pre-filled a filter either. Never felt the need to. How long is that dipstick! Is it checking the diff oil? lol.
    18
  1994. I never prefill, well I can’t cause 1 my prelude oil filter is sideways and 2 my subi oil filter is upside fuccking down 😂
    18
  1995. I look at both Scotty and Ray's videos...good to watch. Each one has there own values and what they present to us.
    18
  1996. Ray, a new talent, woohoo, you can impersonate air brakes. That wasn't a real truck, you didn't change gear 20 times on your 100 yard test drive!
    18
  1997. Awesome job going the extra mile and finding the root cause of the truth failure. I believe some of the panther platform Ford vehicles have a similar issue with failure of design on the heater box if the drains aren't cleaned out all the time they're retain water and cause the passenger side floorboard to fill with water.
    18
  1998. The car God's are angry with me. Ray wins the internet for the day.
    18
  1999. You're excused this time Ray,,,It IS the weekend after all
    18
  2000. 11 degrees this morning here in Colorado. You should see all of the Florida transplants freaking out 😂😂😂
    18
  2001. Update on my Grand Marquis, I found a vacuum leak and it wasn't nearly as much of a pain in the ass as that Escape you have been working on was.
    18
  2002. 🤣
    18
  2003. Great idea!!
    18
  2004.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  and that’s why your a smart mechanic and good guy!
    18
  2005. As a content creator myself, they say that frequent use of premieres tends to hurt the long term views for those videos, that said, I have to admit that I'm enjoying being able to pin the video and have YouTube remind me a half hour before it is released. Also nice that Ray has been taking time out of his day to be here while the premiere runs so we have a quasi live chat with him a few times a week. Nice touch.
    18
  2006. Ray, appreciate your focus on right word choice and utilizing words across the vocab spectrum. You’re the mike rowe of the automotive world and don’t go lowest common denominator. Keep it up and don’t let the proverbial “them” allow you to lose your cool. Keep being an example for others purely through your speech and actions without soapboxing and agenda.
    18
  2007. A really interesting video thanks - I haver often wondered what is inside those machines!! :)
    18
  2008. Probably, the end of the day so he left it until the next day instead of waiting for it to cool down. Once the system was full and had no air in the system, it maintained temperature so there was no reason for further testing.
    18
  2009. Seeing ball joints welded in damages my soul.
    18
  2010. Ray, glad to see you being your own boss! Hope it works out for you. I should have left the dealers 30 yrs ago, too late for me now at my age. Hey, one suggestion for your new oil drain is an anti-splash pad. These work great, we have them in all the drains here. Lisle 38750 15" Round No-Splatter Pad at Amazon.
    18
  2011. the metal could be painted white that will reflect more LUMENS in the shop for. We had cinder block walls and we finally painted them which reflected the new LED bulbs even more. even the beams as well we painted, too. it's looking great 👍 👌
    18
  2012. I think the chrome knobs on the vents will probably add 2 or 3 more horsepower.
    18
  2013. Great job. I have done these on a ton of dodge trucks the only way to do the job right is by the relays. I also run on that same fuse link off the battery.
    18
  2014. Why quit? Bob Dole always refers to Bob Dole in the third person, Bob Dole says Bob Dole likes it like that.
    18
  2015.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  you sir. Are certifiably accepted!
    18
  2016. Yes Mr Perfect, please put a complete explanation of how you would fix a fuck up like this or keep it shut.
    18
  2017. Eric O gets his best pats from the junkyard
    18
  2018. Thanks to you I was able to find the leak on my truck today, I reckon. After recharging it today and driving the truck a bit I left it till dark. Then went out with a UV light after sunset and had a look. Sure enough, the low side schrader is leaking. So pleased that I do not have to pull the evaporator, although I have to seal up a crack in the pan as it froze due to a clogged drain. But it is doable. Kind regards, South Africa
    18
  2019. I'm an engineer Ray, and I still agree with you 100%. Those threaded plastic retainers are dreadful.
    18
  2020. Been watching for 3 years or so and love watching your videos
    18
  2021.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  yes Sir , The Gov't was created to protect and defend these rights , they are failing on both counts , Gov't and big tech are in bed together and this is the outcome ! we are not a democracy (mob rule) 51% / 49% , we are a REPUBLIC ! Big difference !
    18
  2022. I have you in my thoughts Ray. Seeing as IAN has just made land fall not too long ago as a CAT 4. Godspeed brother.
    18
  2023. Him: I know there’s gotta be a drain plug in there somewhere...I guess I’ll just take stuff off until I find it. Me: *laughs in German “it’s somewhere under our over engineered plastic”
    17
  2024. Coffee MIL also sets a code in the BCM that insurance companies can recover and use to deny your claim or dealer can use to void warranty if the car has been 'mishandled'. It has more to do with lawyers than any driver safety concern.
    17
  2025. That was interesting. Ray(noted troller), you need more commenters like this. Keep up the good work getting audience participation(Rainman precipitation perhaps). 😉
    17
  2026. what a stupid set up. save 5 cents on a key blow up motor
    17
  2027. Pls don't be offended by this Ray, it's meant as a compliment.... I love having your vids on in the background whilst I work on my uni assignments! The stories you tell, and the way you talk about what your doing helps my work flow 🤷‍♂️
    17
  2028. Happy Thanksgiving Ray to you and your family.
    17
  2029. I just wanted to thank you. (2:36)..... I noticed my oil filler cap (710 cap) was upside down. By removing it and reinstalling it right side up, I have gained 7 mpg, and can now stretch my oil change intervals to 8000 mi. You rock..........!
    17
  2030. 16:53 We need ONE more guy, hey JUAN, come here. Get it....Juan more guy.
    17
  2031. Finally, after so many years, I've learned why those little clips are on the wheel-studs!
    17
  2032. Banks seems like a quality company. Hats off to them.
    17
  2033. I love old cars. Hide away headlights, ashtrays in every corner, and so much steal if recycled could make 2dozen Hyundai’s. My first car was a 79 Chrysler New Yorker known as a land yacht.
    17
  2034. Ray, those front tires are looking a little skosh...
    17
  2035. When you're mentally stressed from something like this, your body will be tired no matter how much sleep you get. It will take a few days yet.
    17
  2036. I always said 98% of headaches come from 2% of customers....know when to say NO to a customer
    17
  2037. I see that vehicle driving off a cliff in flames! Nobody was injured
    17
  2038. Hi from the Netherlands. Love the video’s. Also surprised lack of swearing. I will call heaven and hell during this type of work.
    17
  2039. Being a Mechanic myself, I would like to say... Anyone who would have fired you, has no idea what an asset you are. It is all politics. you should start your own shop and take the clients. Office people are there for one reason, and they should stay out of the shop. Good luck to you Ray and wish you the best. You are still young and seem to be very ambitious. Best wishes to you and your family!
    17
  2040. Hope your jaw heals quickly!
    17
  2041. Being cut in half, the ultimate definition of being beside one's self! 😆
    17
  2042. I don't know why it's so satisfying to see suspension components settle onto the ground (15:20ish). Feel better man!
    17
  2043. Despite the said losses for the bit of extra work, it pretty much comes down to customer satisfaction like you said. A satisfied customer is a happy customer and a happy customer will spread good word and return. Also I agree with you that the service rep should be responsible for having the part ready to go. Kinda need an extra guy specifically to run around and get stuff ready. Awesome channel. Great work.😎👍
    17
  2044. Not a car but an aircraft. I had changed out a heavy piece of equipment. This was done around 8pm, it had been a hard day. I was lying in bed trying to get to sleep, something was bugging. I then realized that I could not remember if I had lock wired the fasteners. I finally got dressed and headed back to work. Opened the access panel and sure enough, I had lock wired the fasteners, it was so automatic it was a nonevent to my memory. Everyone screws up fortunately Ray, you caught it because you had not finished working on the vehicle as proven by your "last chance check", good on ya.
    17
  2045. I want a T-shirt that say “Mechanic Unit.” Ray needs one too!
    17
  2046. Shop definitely has potential. I am excited for you, Ray. This is a big step but it will be so worth it. Eagerly waiting for videos of your new adventure.
    17
  2047. CAPS MAKE YOU SOUND MORE INTELLIGENT!! 😂😂
    17
  2048. Well, lets review: The bubbling stopped, so a blown gasket is unlikely. The upper and lower hoses were hot, so the thermostat seems to have opened. The waterpump seems active (similar temps on upper and lower hose). Did the fans kick in? Without fan(s), it will overheat while sitting/city driving. As it heats up, it pressurises the system and finds the weakest link.
    17
  2049. The more I watch Ray disassemble an engine to gain access to the most basic of things like this thermostat, the more I now appreciate the simplicity of my old 1967 Austin Mini Cooper S.
    17
  2050. Typical Ford, using plastic for parts that should never ever be plastic.
    17
  2051. AI ain't artificial or intelligent.
    17
  2052. Love the videos Ray can't wait to see the next one ❤😅
    17
  2053. Nice tool for the rubber hanger! I could have used that decades ago.
    17
  2054. Am I the only person who dislikes those steering wheel covers intensely? They’re stupid and can be dangerous in an emergency situation. Makes me cringe whenever the video starts off with one on the steering wheel. 😬😡
    17
  2055. If you get the barley runs, you should probably cut back on your beer consumption.
    17
  2056. Hope Nicole doesn't do too much damage this time around stay safe you and your family and thanks for voting today
    17
  2057. Happy new year to the Clan of Ray, and of course the Clan of Dave, I hope it is a prosperous 2024 for you all. 🇬🇧
    17
  2058. All my hours of watching your channel paid off this week. Niece had a crash and the radiator didn't survive. Watched more than a few videos where you removed the cooling pack and broke it down. It was almost like I'd done the job a few times before. Everything is back together and seems to be working as intended. Thanks for putting out all the content for us!
    17
  2059. You know what this video needs? "MORE PRYBAR!"
    17
  2060. Wow, been awhile since anyone has seen the super rare “ population control “ model from Volvo. For some reason they are difficult to find in good condition, especially with the self lubricating chassis option. Thanks for showing us!
    17
  2061. Hope you feel better soon, Ray. Your torque wrench does sound like it needs to be recalibrated. o7
    17
  2062. Oh no Ray is having too much fun
    17
  2063. Hey ray, I’m a Toyota/Lexus tech and I recommend getting the blue point Toyota filter cup for that style of filter, you can get the super tight ones off without wrecking the plastic and potentially cracking the housing like the style you are using tends to do. It also works on most of the spin on Toyota filters as well!
    17
  2064. That was clearly uncalled for, and for 1 i have never pre filled my oil filter in any of the vehicles that i have done an oil change on (mine own and others) and for that fact i am not even a licensed mechanic to begin with (i am do it my self kinda guy)
    17
  2065. Ignorant, in both meanings of the word. Your anger only hurts you.
    17
  2066. Big Clive in da house! Cool! Any chance of applying 240v to a Jag and watching the results? #revenge. 😉
    17
  2067. Ray, It is not white balance. It is the exposure setting. You can force it to one setting if you choose but only do that if the lighting doesn't change. A light meter available as an app can help determine correct ISO and f stop. You probably can help your camera out by limiting the ISO range and f stop. Always aim for under exposure as this can be fixed in post. An over exposed image is not recoverable(The super bright areas) The white balance as you keep referring to has only to do with the warmness of the picture. Aka a blue or orange tint. A light meter can determine this setting and is usually best to set this to one value. And fix it in post if it is off. If you limit your new camera to only the shop and keep the go pro for the driving scenes would work best has action cameras excel at dynamic lighting conditions where a prosumer product is best left to static conditions that you can control.
    17
  2068. I totally agree with you on this John. I love this channel because of Ray's personality and his perfect grammar.
    17
  2069. Merry Christmas Ray to you and your family. Mother Nature gave us a very nice Christmas present here in Eastern Ontario, Canada. Going to fire up the snowblower and start cleaning up after a huge blizzard❄❄❄❄ Oh well, nothing like a white Christmas,😜 Take care, my friend👍
    17
  2070. I think this video was filmed earlier than today. Take a look around the 1:50 part of the video. ;-)
    17
  2071. Ryan is very blessed to have a friend like you! I don't have much to spare but I can send a little. I've been in situations where I've been completely broke with no money coming in and a friend I met online helped me. The only catch was that I had to pay it forward and that's what I've been doing ever since AND IT FEELS GREAT! I hope and pray that Ryan will soon be well.
    17
  2072. Common sense is a rare and valuable commodity today.
    17
  2073.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  - hahaha , it must be a very self destructive shop (made of social / political explodium) if you write "No sense in beating a dead horse"
    17
  2074. Cold Morning, coffee, and a new video from Ray. Great way to start the day.
    17
  2075. Ray, I think I caught you actually putting a couple of tools on a shelf in some kind of order !! Might just be I am hallucinating though ! Troy is doing a great job keeping up with the cleaning of the shop area, gives you more time for fantastic wrenching. And, have yourself a great day!
    17
  2076. Hello Ray hope you and your family are doing well today, I'm self-employed and I've always made sure that the customer EACH TIME gets what they deserve, so since you do the same thing that's how you got the fleet account simple keep it up BROTHER 👍
    17
  2077. 1:19 I agree with you whole heartedly. I can say this as a heavily armed liberal. I’m here to stay brother.
    17
  2078. Nov 5, 2022, the day RAINMAN RAY REPAIRS was opened to the world.
    17
  2079. Can’t wait to see what in tgat oil pan! And filter. Have a great day Ray Ray
    17
  2080. Ray you are right you do talk a lot. 80% educational and 20% pure entertainment... Don't stop! Love your videos.
    17
  2081. Great Vlog as always, the 11 in the spark plug number denotes the pre-set gap as 1.1mm, most pre-set plugs have a plastic or cardboard sleeve covering the nose of the plug in the box, but still best to check the gap before fitting it. Best wishes for the future
    17
  2082. Well threw out my back. But it's ok I get to lay back and watch ray. Oh yeah. Ray I've worked on cars my whole life. You and my dad taught me what to do. I do the opposite of what he taught me. To many times the fire dept was called when he worked on vehicles. Your videos have helped me diagnose and repair some vehicles. Especially the pt cruiser vids.
    17
  2083. I'm happy you have done this. Im a VFD technician and an electrician and I've had to walk back on some of my beliefs is certain products after gaining much needed knowledge and experience. I'm not going anywhere, I've learned so much from you Ray. I wish you lived in my area because I have truck that needs fixing 🤣.
    17
  2084. You've come to build a great reputation in my eyes, as I've already viewed at least 50-60 of your videos and see you as an honest Mechanic and a square dealer!! You really don't need to explain anything to folks that can't see those qualities in you!!
    17
  2085. OK Sherlock Orion then how would you go about removing the nut this happens a more than most will ever know the apprentice did not listen.
    17
  2086. Hi Ray, I love your attention to details. Most shops would not do half of the little things that you do for your customers. I just hope that they watch the videos and appreciate your work. A fan of your work. Click! Comment gravity …….
    17
  2087. That's fantastic Ray, can't wait for when you've got enough time to do all the work on your truck. Auto Christmas has arrived.
    17
  2088. I'm fairly sure I haven't been here from the beginning, I am an automotive technician, currently retired because my career is at odds with my physical abilities after more than 30 years. So I fix cars vicariously through you.. 🤣
    17
  2089. That bumper sticker is a little backwards ... should say "Stop pretending that Patriotism is Racism"
    17
  2090. New sub Mr. Ray & really like your work. I wish we were closer so I could have an honest in depth mechanic. Keep up the good work !!!
    17
  2091. The best thing about the Videos that you make,are the parts that you have to take something off that you put in the wrong place or had to turn something around. Just shows the I'm human side of mechanical work. Have a great day Rainman. Definitely a fan !!! Oh...and the Do do do's....lol
    17
  2092. Don't forget the crankcase vent hose , or whatever it is, to be plugged into the airbox. The one the last mechanic forgot.
    17
  2093. That Who Framed Roger Rabbit reference was the best! As soon as Ray called that stuff dip I thought of that movie and I was hoping Ray was as well, I was not disappointed!
    17
  2094.  @RainmanRaysRepairs love that attitude Ray
    17
  2095. The bonehead dad will be back wanting to know "what you screwed up while you were changing the battery" in six months or less when the rear timing chain snaps and falls in the oil pan! 4.0 sohc isn't worth the time and resources it took to repair.
    16
  2096.  @NoName-tz5ji  do you think if we asked politely or signed a petition they’d just give up on exploiting and controlling people and let us live our own lives on or own land? If only it were that easy.
    16
  2097. Loving the new shop and the build out process! Best of luck with your new business!
    16
  2098. The perfect start to any day cannot be achieved without Ray!!!
    16
  2099. Since going on your own your videos have been more enjoyable to watch. You seem much happier with the family around and I fallen in love with the channel all over again! Need "flashlight gravity" t shirt asap!
    16
  2100. Brother, YOU'RE A GOOD MAN MAY GOD BLESS AND CONTINUE TO BLESS YOUR HANDS IN EVERYTHING YOU PUT YOUR HANDS TO.
    16
  2101. Wondered where you were. Missed you the past couple of days! Feel better!
    16
  2102. I have to say I was in a mild panic trying to figure out where Ray went. It's interesting how some channels draw you in. Especially when postings are daily. The up-side is if I'm not learning something, I'm laughing. Recover soon and don't scare us like that.😉💊
    16
  2103. Hi Ray, they say a problem aired is a problem shared and Face-book allows this to happen so easily. For me my problem started after being diagnosed with esophagus cancer but it was the 24 hour continuous pain that clouded my better judgement. I did not want to share my problems with anyone else. However I wrote a blog on Face-book and by golly, thanks to the many friends I had met on Face-book, I cannot say thank you enough to those who encouraged me to keep going. To you Ray I send the same encouragement, your videos are brilliant not just to us old tech's but think of the young mechanics you are helping in so many ways. You have a fabulous wife and kids, let them support you with the extra strength they can give to you Ray. Love you all ♥and best wishes to all watchers on these pages. 👍
    16
  2104. Cylinder numbering order, not firing order.
    16
  2105. 8:02 Man your on fire with Sarcasm , Don't forget to torque up the oil cap too lmao
    16
  2106. I quit from a car dealership that was ripping people off. (TL;DR it's essentially the same story as Ray's video, with extra salt in the wound.) 21-years-old, Jeep service technician about 11-12 years ago. 1998 Chevrolet 1500 rolls in, wants NC state inspection. Pull rear drum brakes off, wheel cylinder is leaking badly enough to fail, essentially only had 3 brakes. Shoes/springs look about 50%, gonna call it just a R&R the wheel cylinder, advise customer get brakes checked again in a year. Go to parts, have them call sister Chevrolet store 5 minutes down the road to get it coming, told service writer don't even bill them for the labor, it's about 2 minutes to swap. Wheel cylinder was $9. Go back to checking everything else. Front had a pad slap within a year or so it looked like, calipers looked OEM, checked fluids. Brake fluid is what GM poured in from the factory, and it's about to start sucking air. Service manager notices things happening at this point, comes over, "What's going on?" "It failed for a leaking wheel cylinder." "Can't be, we just did a full brake service on this 10 months ago!" points at inside of drum brake caked in brake dust and actively dripping onto 50% shoes. Then walks to front where rotors that have waves a surfer could catch and rust in a non rust belt vehicle are present. Points at 15 year-old brake fluid in master cylinder. stares angrily at me for 10 seconds, walks off. I paid for the parts to make the job whole, got new front pads/rotors, new shoes and spring kit, p/s wheel cylinder to match because it was seeping, which isn't a fail, but it's still not right. Chevy store has caught wind of this, sells it to me at cost, and sends customer a brand new set of some nice tires plus a spare, the fluid for the job on them, and a free oil change/tire rotation coupon. Parts manager paid my labor for all this. This was in 2013, maybe 2014. The service manager just got fired for being a crook in January of this year. Here's the kicker. The customer. 70~ish-year-old woman. This was her husband's truck. He just died and this was the first vehicle he ever bought new, so she wanted to essentially maintain its, apart from this fiasco, pristine condition. We got her a shuttle home since she'd been there for about 90 minutes for a 15 minute job. Only when she had her keys did we break the whole truth. We only charged her the $30 for the inspection, legally obligated to charge it, re-inspection to pass is free within 90 days. She simply asked "Well, is all the work done right this time?" "Yes." "Thank you for your honesty. I think I will start taking it back to Chevy store."
    16
  2107. Another cool video to be sure, and I just want to add that I am really enjoying the restoration you’re doing on your truck interior. That is a huge project and really fascinating to see it going down.
    16
  2108. I am a subscriber to you as well Eric and the same goes for you. You guys taking your knowledge and position to help provide for a needed cause. Much respect my friends
    16
  2109. The golden colour is 'passivated' zinc, or possibly cadmium, plating. It is amazingly good at not rusting. Its gold so you know its good.
    16
  2110. If you let go right as the 000000 shows up it won't reset the trip meter, a lot of people get pissy about reset trip meters, so just a tip there
    16
  2111. Live in Nova Scotia and it’s refreshing to see how unrusty the vehicles you working on are
    16
  2112. "Gravity" is now a permanent part of my lexicon. Thank you Ray! It really helps in me making people guess about, or confirm their thoughts on my sanity. 🤣
    16
  2113. These are not "how to" videos. These are entertainment videos with learning along the way. I like the way you do your videos.
    16
  2114. Good for you, I wish all the good things for you. You are an upstanding gentleman and great mechanic. doo-de-dooo
    16
  2115. I am just here to say you have one heck of a good natured wife unit. I joined her channel just to support her in having to deal with your shenanigans. You two must be quite the pair at a party! Thanks for all the videos and all the best to you both. Thanks, Ray!
    16
  2116. They eat these housings like candy! Just did a Dodge Journey a couple days ago….manufacturers love thin plastic coolant parts. At least they are cheap, unlike the BMW ones. 🥓
    16
  2117. I love a good Saab story
    16
  2118. One thing I think worth pointing out, that trailing arm bracket that was mangled/ ripped from the mounting bolts...that really says a lot about the strength of bolts. The shear forces on that bracket were huge, and the bolt came out just fine...I was expecting that to be a tough extraction.
    16
  2119. That starter was a lot easier than those lug nuts.
    16
  2120. Some useless trivia for y'all! Did you know....the L87 V8 engine is part of GM’s Gen V Small Block engine architecture that’s known in trucks and SUVs as EcoTec3. It was first launched in the all-new 2019 Silverado 1500 (fourth generation) and 2019 Sierra 1500 (fourth generation).That said, lets get to the bad news on 4 of the most common problems on this marvel of automotive engineering..You'll never guess which problem made it on the list? lol! 1. Carbon build-up 2. *Lifter collapse / bent push rods (Problem with the truck in the video!) 3. A8 Transmission shuddering or vibrating 4. Other smaller / less common issues Fuel injectors / fuel pumps Engine mounts Manifold bolts Lower intake manifold gasket *Lifter Collapse/Bent push rod: Lo and behold, another active fuel management related problem. Active fuel management, or AFM, is a fuel efficiency system that essentially turns off certain cylinders under certain driving conditions to improve fuel economy and eco-friendliness. It essentially turns your V8 into a V4 by completely shutting off 4 cylinders with the thought process that you will now see better fuel mileage since only half of the engine needs fuel. It’s a great concept, but it’s had serious issues since it was released and the issues have continued into the EcoTec3 engine series. AFM deactivates these cylinders from the camshaft via a system of complex lifters. These lifters tend to be not so reliable and collapse / go bad frequently and can also result in the push rods, responsible for opening and closing the cylinders, to bend. If the lifters collapse or the push rods bend, the cylinder will not be able to open and close properly, leading to various performance and driveability related issues. While these issues are almost a guarantee on these 6.2L engines, they are covered under WARRANTY! We know how much dealership shops love warranty repairs! lol! There is a link posted below that shows you how to disable/turn off the engines AFM (Active Fuel Management) for those of you willing to do it. Why Turn it Off you ask? There are a few reasons: Many people find the four-cylinder sound annoying if their vehicle is equipped with a louder aftermarket exhaust. Some drivers want V8 power under their foot at all times. AFM lifters have a history of failing and oil consumption can be a problem. *Disable your Chevy/GM AFM: https://www.onallcylinders.com/2017/11/30/how-to-delete-or-disable-active-fuel-management-afm-on-gm-engines/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Reference online article link for further details on this and the other problems listed. https://chevytrucks.org/chevy-ecotec3-6-2l-engine-problems/
    16
  2121. What a train wreck, you could do another oil/filter change in a 100 miles or so. great videos. thanks
    16
  2122. Your dry humor and little quips has me rolling. You have earned a sub.
    16
  2123. Just put a lawn sprinkler under the vehicle and slowly pull it under the vehicle over an hour or two.
    16
  2124. With Hantavirus being 40% deadly still I spray that droppings down with biologic cleaner and gently hose it out. Don't want to breathe that in at all. Hantavirus may not be popular in your area but the car may have sat someplace else for awhile so I never trust it. Even cats heave after touching mice, lol. Stay safe and healthy Ray.
    16
  2125. If I am late in the morning, I never stress it. I just do my normal things as I would when I am not late. Cause I noticed that, when you stress it, it goes way slower than normal 😅
    16
  2126. The theft is,you explained the obvious to a snot bubble in a suit,stole 3 mins of our time without even a doo doo de doo, or a oops gravity 😜
    16
  2127. 4:43 " I don't deal in absolutes." Good, only a Sith would do that.
    16
  2128. Yes , must go back out to the truck for the mileage 😅
    16
  2129. Man I don’t even work with you ray but I watch all the vids and I mock the phone every. Single. Time.
    16
  2130. Wait - Florida has a subsection of "Florida Man"? thank you for explaining that to us Ray!
    16
  2131. Hey Ray, just thought I'd say that it sounds like the alternator has bad bearings already. Maybe time to think about getting a bit heavier-duty alternator, as well as wiring in a memory battery so the sensors and whatnot don't drain the main batteries? Edit: I'm talking about the aftermarket stuff you've got installed on the A-pillar.
    16
  2132. Great decision Ray. Selfless. Btw: a regular viewer report: painters removed door sensors at my house, and when I reinstalled the screws I said “I’m going to do this the Ray-way and thread them by hand first”!
    16
  2133. I have been saying we have a false economy for the the last 20 years and people have said I was stupid, or just gave me crazy look... to hear you say it means I'm not crazy, THANK YOU , RAY!
    16
  2134. another outstanding video ray your the best but the most important thing is to have yourself a great day Ray
    16
  2135. One reason why I like this channel is his honesty, thanks Ray
    16
  2136. 12:25 that is Fukkin hilarious! My OCD doesn't allow me that luxury on larger engines. You do you, Princess! 👍🍺
    16
  2137. Saw the car,then the seat position. I knew instantly you were dealing with a self entitled Karen
    16
  2138. ASMR Mechanic? I love it! If you'll pardon the phrasing, this well cut and polished video was a lovely change of pace. It works great for instructional videos, but not for all videos. I love your usual style of videos. Either way, you always come across as knowledgeable, approachable, and very affable.
    16
  2139. I use to work at a shop running 4 of them at a time. I setup two for rotors ads two for drums. I could do a full brake job in under an hour. I actually miss that job
    16
  2140. Looks like the Pathfinder was unable to find a clear path.
    16
  2141. Ray you should go on the ROAD with this comedy. Your deadPAN humor is classic. Bluetooth front axle had me rolling on the floor.
    16
  2142.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  You are Internet GOLD !!
    16
  2143. Good job Ray. I haven't done this yet. But I did stop traffic once on a two lane highway to escort a family of Sandhill cranes across the road. It was satisfying to say the least.
    16
  2144. GREAT JOB Ray. Keep the videos coming ! 👍
    16
  2145. Sorry...no forgiveness! Hahahahaha.....
    16
  2146. That was Great Ray finding that problem fast and fixing it. There are plenty of hacks out there, we need more technicians like you fixing their screw ups. 👍🏻
    16
  2147. I am a service tech for robinair and you do not need to tighten the filter that tight. all it needs is hand tight.
    16
  2148. Ray, I am not sure ending a show on a transmission service with "end of tansmission" is the best way to go 😅😅
    16
  2149.  @scottbaker9066  if I had one like this, I would, and have, reported it to my shop manager to let him know it could possibly come back with a knock and the customer screaming bloody murder we destroyed her car, at that point, we'd document everything, call the customer and advise we can finish the job, but with the amount of crap in the oil pan, and no idea how long it's been circulating in the oiling system, it might not be long for this world. Sometimes you have to go into cover your ass mode to prevent a lawsuit. Rainmans repairs, if you read this, this is nothing on you, we are just recounting our own horror stories. This is one of those nightmare jobs
    16
  2150. You act alot like me when I'm diagnosing appliances, and I have to say I really appreciate and enjoy it. It makes me feel like I'm not alone being that there are more unique mechanically inclined people in the world.
    16
  2151. love the random shotgun shell in the toolbox.
    16
  2152. "Abnormular" - I like it. It's a good word. If at first you don't succeed, pry, pry again (or look for the Chrysler locking tab).
    16
  2153. You're killing me 3 videos in one day lol keep up the great work bud always look forward to seeing them
    16
  2154. is it just me or does every vehicle that comes in is almost out of gas?
    16
  2155. Dang, I've never commented before but there is a hella load of real work done in this vid in crappy conditions with no time. Gettin' it done in Rainman Ray style. Hats off to you Sir.

  2156. Ray, my friend... You've been on YouTube producing video content long enough to know by now how people are on the internet. Keyboard warrior trolls are everywhere out there because they are anonymous and will never face any direct repercussion from the nasty things they say, hence they are all weak-minded and desperate for attention. Keep doing what you do, man. Don't let the bottom feeders bring you down. The bulk of us out here enjoy watching your content and wish you the success you're working so hard to achieve. That on it's own is immensely better than 99% of the haters can or will EVER offer to society.
    16
  2157. Hope you and your family come through this unscathed, love from the U.K.
    16
  2158. I love how you always put the paper safety mat in backwards! Must trigger a few people! Glad you and your family are OK, and that things are starting to get back to normal, as it were. o7
    16
  2159. Keep the show videos coming. Short Videos are just fine. Ignore the haters.

  2160. FYI: As far as the title "should you buy it?" as a tech for 10 years 8 being at a GMC dealership there are typically 3 reasons you want an alignment: 1: Suspension repair , control arms, struts, steering gear, tie rods, etc. In nearly all cases after suspension work was performed you need an alignment because either it was out due to worn/damage components and the new components need to be set. 2: Good Practice when you buy a set of tires/ or replace front/steering tires. It helps prevent premature tire wear to get the most from your tires. 2A: If you have all wheel drive or 4 wheel drive it is important to replace tires with same size and tread depth due to these systems. Also mismatch tires/ brand/style/tread can cause ABS /Wheel speed sensor issues and traction issues regardless if you have AWD/4WD or not. 3: As regular maintenance: From hitting pot holes and other things from driving a vehicle daily it can and is possible to knock your alignment out of adjustment. There for causing steering issues and tire wear. which could lead safety concerns. Typically if #1 and #2 reasons are needed an alignment once a year/15k miles

  2161. Gives new meaning to the term, “sketchy repair”! Great job working through it Ray!
    16
  2162. You should consider renaming your channel to: “Developing an OCD with Ray” … a lot of Tüdelü lately! Since I love your German, here are some more bits: Gravity: Erdanziehungskraft Make it shiny!: Lass es glänzen! Starting the engine: Starte den Motor. Seatbelt click: Sicherheitsgurt Klick! Powering down: Strom aus! Greetings from Germany Chris
    16
  2163. Ford Boss Me did a great job on your bio. Looking forward to your video on the Boss Man. Not only are you guys great technicians but also very great men!
    16
  2164. How in the world does the dealer think they can get away charging $30K for an engine?? My thinking is they didn't really want to do it and said that much to make him go away.
    15
  2165. Congrats on the 600K subscribers mark! It's great to be a part of that group. I don't know why your channel is my preferred one out of all the auto repair vids out there. I feel as though I have developed a personal relationship with you - weird, huh? Not me, just that feeling. Anyway, thanks for another great vid and I have to say that I'm amazed that you never, I think, miss anything when going back together. I look at something and think, "don't forget that" and you don't! A tribute to your thoroughness. Good job, Ray. Thank...😊
    15
  2166. For anyone who sees this I'm just joking with Ray - I'm a military Ford Mechanic with a sick twisted sense of humor And I'm straight but I call Arod and Ray my boyfriends lol....just humor You know Boy (man) Friend ( boy friend ) Anyway I screwed all that up....you get the point
    15
  2167. Dropped seat seems most likely given the previous issues & diagnosis steps taken. With my Hindsight-2000 20:20 specs on, I'd have advised 'don't drive it until the recall is done'
    15
  2168. "Je regrette" in french is when you are sorry and you have strong regrets to make something at someone. For example: Having a bad argument with someone and feel very bad after. For your case, for blocking the view, you are better to say " Je suis désolé". Continue your great stuff! Good job Ray!
    15
  2169. Don't discard the old parts, Ray!
    15
  2170. Love your methodical approach to doing a service Ray. I've always done my own services and services for my family and friends and when I mention changing the Pollen filter I'm usually met with 'What's one of those'. True to form when I do replace one they look like rotten rectangular pizza's because for some reason garages in England save a few £'s ($) by not changing them. Secret to keeping your car in good health is quality oil changed at regular intervals and replace all your filters. Keep posting the videos Ray ... you've got a good following across the pond in England as well as in the US. 🇬🇧
    15
  2171. Having everything on video is a good tool, you can go back and see where things go or in this case, the internal line you missed to connect.
    15
  2172. OH NO! A mistake right at the apex of re-assembly! Those hurt! =I can bet you that you are not the first person to do that on that pump assembly. The question that is really going to bake your noodle is: Would you have still missed that detail if you had the correct part initially, and had been able to complete the repair without a few days interruption?
    15
  2173. 2019 and newer GM V8's it's causing the water pump pulleys to fall off. The entire belt system is stretch fit now and there's no give so the water pumps fail. Best thing you can do is add a tensioner conversion and it's good to go. GM getting cheaper!
    15
  2174. An oil stick broke off in the oil tube. That is a first time for me seeing that. My clapped out CVPI still has AC and I can check my oil. Love the videos Ray!
    15
  2175.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  That's a PIT maneuver @Chris723
    15
  2176. Your camera needs an upgrade... when I was shopping, one requirement was for a low light system that IDs license plates at night and reacts to on-coming headlights so to not wash out the scenes...and the rear facing needs to have just as much dynamics as the forward... hope you find the twerp, maybe tune his car
    15
  2177. Nice...that was like how we put our bike chains on with no tools back in the day...lol
    15
  2178.  Russ  I believe it was for the air compressor, yes.
    15
  2179. Glad all is well, especially that corvette. Never have i thought i wouldve anticipated an update for some stranger online. Much love, ray and crew.
    15
  2180. You fill from the top plug and when oil reach the opening of the center it's the correct level. So il you open the center plug and let it drain it'll be correct.
    15
  2181. I did miss your video but your health is more important, take it easy, we will all be here when you are better
    15
  2182. Poor comment section is having a brain aneurysm.😂😂
    15
  2183. I love how your "super short" videos are longer than everyone else's long format videos. Keep em coming.
    15
  2184. Just keep posting vids bud, you're doing great. Learned a lot about cars watching your videos the last 6 months. Hope you'll be able to start up your own business, sure you'll have the customers coming.
    15
  2185. I just can’t believe that you seriously have to take the core support off to get the air cleaner box out
    15
  2186. I wouldn’t say it’s about profiting ray, it’s to cover costs. It shouldn’t cost you anything to help them if people help out by donating. The machine shop isn’t gonna resurface those heads for free probably.
    15
  2187. for van costs
    15
  2188. The JC Whitney catalog will be your friend here
    15
  2189. This being a YouTube car repair channel, I would say that those old pads with 5mm +/- remaining are being changed 6mm too soon. 😉
    15
  2190. With the New York Weight Reduction almost complete, I just wondered where the penetrating oil went. Sure could have used the 24 hour soak to make job easier. Loved the DeLorean episode. Keep up the great work.
    15
  2191. I like Ray screaming start! He is like an exorcist! The power of Brake Cleaner compels you, the power of Brake Cleaner compels you! 1
    15
  2192. Ok what did you do to your hand Rainman ? I mean I just left you a few hours ago working on that Dooodge van and shazzam now your injured. I can't stay on here 24 hours a day watching out for you all the time LOL
    15
  2193. Those TTX parts are my go-to brand now. They’re basically like what Moog used to be back in the day
    15
  2194. It drew a lot of sweat, but didn’t draw any blood! That’s a win when you’re working in close quarters with a fan blade, one slip and at least one of your knuckles will be growing new skin!
    15
  2195. HA you got them all with a trick question Ray. The only real jeeps were built between 1940 and 1945 and the best of those had a certain cursive F that is the first letter of the best selling pickup builders company name stamped on every part. Anything after 1945 is a weak travesty and grounds for having one's man card revoked and being put on permanent purse holder duties.
    15
  2196. I like it. Really cool.
    15
  2197. Needs a "doo de doo" 😂
    15
  2198. Congratulations on 500000 subscribers Sir! Here is to another 500000 more 🍻
    15
  2199. Here before this channel blows up lmao
    15
  2200. I love these afternoons short clips makes me excited to see what might be on the next agenda lol God bless you everyone brothers and sisters play some of the first one here✝️✝️✝️
    15
  2201. Hey Ray, Happy New Year & Greetings from France. I love your videos as they point out good practices that can be applied no matter what the Veeeee-Hickle is. I've only been subscribed for a couple of months but the videos have inspired me to buy a cordless ratchet, correct spec. grease & some other bits & pieces.
    15
  2202. You are a very respectful technician, just like retail, assholes everywhere. Go to the grocery store, holy crap. You. Did good Ray, hold your head high.
    15
  2203.  @7iMPY7  Yes, even when wrong.
    15
  2204. Marriage Rule #1: Its the mans fault.
    15
  2205. Did you tighten the water pump pulley after putting the belt on?
    15
  2206. as usual Ray working dangerously: unscrewing small parts over the open gas tank. well done!
    15
  2207. Ray is such a genuine nice person the world would be a better place if more were lik him, @allen sorry to hear 9f tough times hope you feeling better soon
    15
  2208. Glad you got to have some fun and meet Gale. He is a true legend in the performance industry. I am sure you saw some "required enhancements" cough repairs for the dirty max while you where there. I am sure the Wife Unit will approve.
    15
  2209. I've left hose clamps loose more than once. that's why it's good to take the extra time and bring the engine up to temp and check for leaks. too much liability having the customer do the testing for you(while driving away), especially if they are clueless.
    15
  2210. Yup that's what I do, Work on shit all day then watch the madness continue by watching this Great channel 👍.
    15
  2211. New person clicks and gravity
    15
  2212. In the history of R.R.R. 848 videos never has there been a video which caused every single watcher to be yelling at the screen as this has caused....RRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
    15
  2213. I had a lady come in once for a oil leak check. Got under the car and the drin plug was hand tight. So I fixed that for her but I seen she had a brake light out as well told her we can fix that as well. She stops me and says she was at jiffy lube yesterday, they did the oil and told her about the brake light and the light was a 2.5 hour job and would cost $200. (I was kinda in shock for a good sec.) But told her they lied to her, I had it changed in 5 minutes and it cost her around $20. She was pissed that jiffy lube would try to do that to her. (I can't stand shady shops, it gives us all a bad name)
    15
  2214. Long Live Rainman Ray and his Wonderful Wife Unit. I have been watching you for a couple years and enjoy Every episode and Wife Units videos. You are a lucky man to have such a wife help run the business.
    15
  2215.  @j0lel666  because you don't want contaminates in the engine. There is enough oil on the moving parts after a drain and fill to prevent damage for the few seconds that they are dry, but a spec of dirt can destroy your bearings.
    15
  2216. I was gonna make a Scotty parody video, but I'll wait until my channel gets some subscribers. Also, always use jack stands. You have a family, Ray
    15
  2217. Ray with your expertise and your hard work, you saved this customer from catastrophe!!!
    15
  2218. As an experienced hillbilly mechanic I strongly recommended 150mph tape. Every Billy mechanic knows duct tape will solve that serpents hiss every time.
    15
  2219. Regarding the long videos, I honestly don't mind the longer ones because they show more of the connected plan to repair a car. The hour-long one yesterday made perfect sense because you had to deal with all those pieces that refused to move, and watching you escalate and experiment was really fascinating. The Door of Doom? Have you considered getting one of those things that will automatically pull it closed?
    15
  2220. Ray proves that you can have excellence with humor and no stick up his butt (unlike a previous employer)........
    15
  2221. You could make videos as long as you want in nearly all instances...I would watch it all :-) You do a good job, entertain as well as educate and we learn pros and cons about a given vehicle/drivetrain:-) With you behind the camera figuratively it's always a great day Ray🙂
    15
  2222. Ray, 25 years ago, I was fired from my job, mortgage and 2 kids and maxed out at the bank. I had to take a 25% pay rise to get back into work with a different company. I ended up 18 months later back at the same company on twice the rate I had left on. My point is if you are good at what you do, there will always be work for you and support from the people who matter. My opinion fwiw is you should open your own shop, or you will always be at the mercy of people who can’t cut it themselves.
    15
  2223. EDIT: You guys are having WAY too much fun TROLLING us into watching another OIL CHANGE video!!!!! My 1991 S-15 Blazer had gazillions of grease fittings AND the same kind of oil cooling system. Those radiators were known for the oil cooling area being at the bottom of the radiator. If you hit something small that goes under the vehicle, you would lose your oil, but not your coolant. It had the "big" 4.3L 6 cly that was one one of the best ICEs that Chevy ever made... IMO. It's only flaws? They were known for coolant leaks just under the intake, and those last 2 DAMN spark plugs on the driver's side that were behind the steering column and brake booster. You needed to take off the front wheel, take off the splash guard, open the access panel, and use several "wobbly-bits" to get the DAMN things out. ALSO, the plugs had no washers on them, so TORQUE was SUPER important!!! I know this because I under torqued one on the passenger side, and it blew out on me in a snow storm, I had an old metal shelving unit in the back that I HAD to stand on to put the plug back in, along side the road, because I'm a short little fat girl... That truck ate an alternator in a snow storm on me too... Changed it in the parking lot of the Autozone 50 miles from home... Froze my phalanges off with the snow and wind 8:30 at night... I got 360,000 out of that little truck!!! It was so rusted.. I had to do the expanding foam modification on the body because I was FREEZING driving down the road with the cold air coming in through the body rust holes... BTW... I live about 3 hours East of Eric O.
    15
  2224. Is it done yet? WHAT IS TAKING SO LONG? I've been here 2 minutes and I needed it a minute ago!
    15
  2225. Loved your Guys Shameless Coffee promotion great job. And the fun you guys have love it.
    15
  2226. "It's purple, so you know it's good!" HaHaHaHa! As soon as I see heat damage, metal fatigue, and/or grooves, I condemn rotors/drums. Since I am a stickler for vocabulary, those brake pad "shims" are called "abutment clips". Oh, and Ray? Don't forget, to have a great day! o7
    15
  2227. It's a good thing you clarified, because knowing the internet, you would have been roasted HARD. Probably still will.
    15
  2228. If it has ABS, it doesn't have a proportioning valve.
    15
  2229. I have never heard you so exhausted my friend, thoughts and prayers are with you. Seeing these videos lets us know you and all your neighbors are ok. I watched it all unfold on the news here is Australia it looked horrendous. Take care of you and yours through this ordeal.
    15
  2230. My wife hates when I miss....cut..... Great video man. Keep them coming.
    15
  2231.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  glad to know I'm not the only one 😂
    15
  2232. Congratulations on new place. Hope it works out for ya Ray Ray!! Looking forward to the new videos.
    15
  2233. Love your channel . One thing, soldering those high current joints would have been better. Solder melts at 400-450f. If it gets that hot under the hood, then there is a fire, and with a underhood fire, who cares about a fan working.?😜. P.s. Watching this post, i just went out and checked own fans!!
    15
  2234. Hey Ray. Great video and brave of you to show it knowing the negative comments from the peanut gallery were gonna come fast and furious.
    15
  2235. I sure hope Ray sees this highly significant bit of info!
    15
  2236. That's going to be a freaking fun job to do.
    15
  2237. Awesome to see Eric here adding to the commentary!
    15
  2238. Lordy.... So many armchair mechanics telling you how to do your job. Couldn't have been done better. Nice job.
    15
  2239. on the plus side, just think of it as "rust prevention"
    15
  2240. Window regulator replacement was something I never enjoyed as a tech. Step 1: remove inner door panel- for .000001 hours. Step 2: remove every other part in door- .000002 hours. Step 3: remove regulator- .000003 hours. When all said and done about .00006 hours total for job. Don't forget the other interruptions from service advisor, waiting for parts etc. Then the customer complains it costs too much. Parts people won't budge on cost of parts so labor time gets hacked down some more. After all that, tech gets paid for .000005 hours time. It always seemed this way to me anyways. I hope you all reading this see the humor in it, but this is a large dose of reality in there.
    15
  2241. Aye. Might be an idea to fit it with one of those solar powered vehicle battery chargers so the batteries don't end up discharged again.
    15
  2242. Outstanding camera angles so we can see the entire disassembly and reassembly process. Well Done~!
    15
  2243. More wife unit please
    15
  2244. I do believe this will be part of a resume video for any future endeavors.
    15
  2245. A flywheel performs a function of keeping the engine rotating while the clutch is disengaged. It has mass to hold kinetic energy so that the engine rpm doesn't drop too much and force the synchros to slow the transmission's input shaft down. This prevents premature synchro wear. This is why lightweight flywheels on street cars aren't a great idea unless you don't mind rebuilding your trans every 60k miles. That being said, I use lightweight flywheels on all of my cars because I don't keep them long enough to worry about it.
    15
  2246. First car in a while where you won't need to burn your clothes after sitting in it
    15
  2247. Love love LOVE this series! As a 5.4l 3v owner who's replaced all the timing components, oil pump, roller followers, lash adjusters, and the list goes on, this customer is so very lucky to have you! I can't imagine me, much less a shop, leaving so much broken, mis routed, and just totally wrong after someone else spent thousands, and that's just for the install. I shiver to think about the Fraser rebuilt engine. Wow, just wow!
    15
  2248. Part 4; Removing towels from intake.
    14
  2249. Yummy!.. wholesome breakfast entertainment.. lol.. n thank you..
    14
  2250. This happens all the time man. Especially if I'm In a shop in the lower end of town, always two specific groups of individuals trying to get stuff for free... you have it documented, on video brother, so no worries;)
    14
  2251. You're editing in this video is superb!! Keeps getting better!
    14
  2252. Bet you can’t believe how many of them plastic intakes I’ve replaced, here up north they always crack next to the thermostat don’t know if it a temperature thing or just a faulty design. But liked watching someone else do this instead of me today thanks .
    14
  2253. Probably would have taken twice the time to do in the Northern rust belt. I bet you would have been cutting a lot of the bolts instead. Thank you for the great video.
    14
  2254. 0:20 I think the body shop guys missed a spot 😉😁😂😎
    14
  2255. I'd let Ray do all the work on my vehicle .
    14
  2256. “That’s right, I just used an impact on an AC line, wassuup!” 😂😂😂 had me rolling
    14
  2257. Ray, Did she get that 10mm back yet? Much love from Japan
    14
  2258. I worked at advance auto for 2 1/2 years and they take the auto craft sticker off for commercial customers but if a regular customer comes they keep it on. Now it’s just die hard
    14
  2259. With that owner, Pick A Part in two years, tops.
    14
  2260. Doodly do do. Have a great day Ray Ray
    14
  2261. You folks act like this is something new. Are any of you old enough to remember George Bush's (the first) speech about the New World Order?
    14
  2262.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  Yep.
    14
  2263. The sad part is you could have completed like 7 or 8 oil changes in the time you were relaxing on the lawn chair drinking a beer while waiting for that slow A/C machine to finish what it was doing lol.
    14
  2264. He said "spanner."
    14
  2265. new to the channel. really like the dose of what really goes through a mechanic's mind. everything is not going to be perfect
    14
  2266. Woooooooooo the mighty Ray the Rick Flare of the car fixing world! 😂
    14
  2267. Thanks for the high speed footage when undoing many bolts.
    14
  2268. You are correct sir the three pronged death star has rod knock,pistons looking for another home.
    14
  2269. Slightly damaged!!😂😂 This is why I love YouTube! Real people not fake Hollywood shows! You guys are great and entertain us with your humor and who knew big hearts!! ❤❤
    14
  2270. It's so cute that people refer to this thing as a truck. It's a unibody Escape with a box.
    14
  2271. On the electronic shifter, there's a physical disconnect hidden in the center console that disconnects the transmission for towing. On the double pull hood release, you can't work it while the driver's door is closed, it blocks the lever from moving.
    14
  2272. Ray when you were putting the new stud on I said click as it popped in. I was wearing earbuds and must have said it loud cause my wife gave me a weird look. 🤣
    14
  2273. Congratulations on hiring another employee!! Awesome to see your business growing!
    14
  2274. Proud of you Ray!!! And if you can get a phone that sounds just like the old shop would be great!!
    14
  2275. There may or may not be bent rods. It's obvious they either cracked the head or blew the head gasket though, at the very minimum. No way to tell how extreme the damage is without disassembly. If it is just the head gasket though, they got very lucky. I suspect it's a lot more than the head gasket though.
    14
  2276. As soon as I saw that drip from the drain plug I knew. IT WAS OVER.
    14
  2277.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  Boat engines see less water exposure than that thing did. 350% chance the owner had that thing sitting outside in the rain, for shame RIP
    14
  2278. Quote of the day “stupid safety device is broken again”. Nice one Ray 😂👌🏼
    14
  2279. All chains are required to be fastened so each corner chain is totally independent of the others. You can use one long chain as you have on the rear, but each half of the chain has to be used independently. Basically chain it in a way that if one side comes loose, the other side stays tight. With the tie off points being so far back, your chain is too short to tie down like that. Easiest to just cut it in half and and add hooks to make it into two chains. Many states also require a separate chain to tie the loader down. Stake pockets are perfectly acceptable tie points. Just drop the chain through, then bring the hook back up to hook it over the top edge of the pocket. We've tied equipment like that for years.
    14
  2280. Happy Saturday Ray and good day to you too.
    14
  2281. Don't worry Ray, it gets way worse. Pretty soon they'll see you take a drink of water, you'll swallow it without choking, and they'll write you a four paragraph comment on how you did it wrong. Lot of experts out here. -Enjoy 😁
    14
  2282. I'll bet the missing wing nut is on top of ,inside of the right upper control arm. Great job btw.
    14
  2283. The ripped glove's cracking me up.......the struggles are real!! LOL
    14
  2284. May I kindly suggest stocking an assortment of threaded rod, nuts , washers , angle iron and flat steel ? Sometimes you have to build your own pullers , spring compressors & bushing installers. Stuff is way cheaper at a fastener supply house than Home Despot. Grandpa always called homemade tools “ Arkansas Bearing Pullers “ and he called hammers “ Ford tools “ too.
    14
  2285. Try not to take life so seriously, it's not like we'll get out of it alive. But, yeah, a lot of pressure on people at times. Keep going and laugh at things.
    14
  2286. Ray smoking on the job!
    14
  2287. Love my sedona 2014 over 100.000 miles runs like a champ im in the rust belt to no rust looks brand new
    14
  2288. You deserve to have fun. You've been working your butt off and you've finally pulled the trigger and started your own business. Want to remind everyone to give a thumbs up and pin his vids to your list of friends and lets get him up to a million subs and make sure to watch his vids all the way through. This will help him some income from YT and sponsors should be knocking down his door. Be cool if someone like O'Reilly's, Snap On or Lucas oil, sponsors the channel. Both great places with quality products and Rainman can promote them because he uses them. We trust Rainman because he don't lie so this is a great opportunity for a company to get a great (trusted) person to promote their products.

  2289. Top tip. As you turn of your iron clean the tip with a damp cloth and ad fresh solder to it. This will protect your long life tip against corrosion and damage and make soldering a lot easier next time. And when the solder flows heat needs to stop as the flux will burn and the joint will be “hot”.

  2290. The angry plier is a standard item in (almost) every Swedish household. In Swedish it's "rörtång" (pipe plier).

  2291. See my comment on the 27 October video....where you pulled the dash apart. YOU DID FIX IT. That gauge is either 'on' or 'off'...off being zero and on being the middle of the scale. It is not an oil pressure 'sender', it's a switch.
    14
  2292. Man i did like this, I love that satisfaction of fixing something where you don't quite know if you are going to fix it and it is absolutely perfect when you are finished.
    14
  2293. Wish you well Allen . My brother went through he same as yourself keep up your spirits we are thinking of you 👍💥

  2294. Ray, your videos entertain me every day and make it a little better with your humor and knowledge. Hope this helps you and your family at catastrophic time for all Floridians. Very glad to see you are all safe! Doodley Doo

  2295. I just had a comeback yesterday. We replaced the water pump and belt on a 2001 corvette six months ago. The customer stated it has a belt noise. Drove it in, no noise. Turned on the A/C, loud grinding noise, the compressor was going out. He thought we should replace it for free because we were the last ones to service the car. We noped him right out of the shop, and charged him for the 18 minutes of our time that he got. Good luck with that road trip you were planning, dude...

  2296. "Lowest common denominator, just like society"... This man IS your next President!!!!! Make him run & vote, vote, vote. You'll FINALLY have a man that WILL look after you. With a bit of luck. He might just influence the rest of us as well. Get rid of the narcissistic, money grubbing pricks we have in all countries and get REAL men back in the chairs.

  2299. WTF Don Klutz? You clearly don't know Rainman and his work. Click!
    14
  2300. Epic Ray love your work and don't forget to have your self a great day
    14
  2301. Good day to you Ray hope your good love your content but the most important thing is to have your self a great day Ray
    14
  2302. Like watching paint grow and grass dry

  2303. Next week on "Rainman Ray's Repairs" = A Tesla repair. :)
    14
  2304. RAY . At birth you were bestow by the gods of engine and mother oil to never see a rusted frozen bolt. You are the child of the engine gods and must use your abilities to help the downed mechanical beings of this earth. 😆😆
    14
  2305. Ray as you know I LOVE your channel, bud. One of those reasons is because when you make a silly move like forgetting to check the child lock you show us BUT you don't let it ruin your day, you take it with a good sense of humour and we all learn from it.
    14
  2306.  @clbcl5  My wife calls me her fourth kid if that tells you anything :D

  2307. "Reeeeeee!!!! You didn't do the things right you didn't know what you are doing I hate you forever!!!!!!" Lol great video boss. Keep up the good work
    14
  2308. As my child cries loudly in my ear and has been irritating the hell outta me. When you said "we have created life in a ford!" I could not help myself and laughed out loud.

  2309. ​ @RainmanRaysRepairs Ill bet you made good bugers too! Ignore the snake oil skeptics, a major repair bill is in there future. I know for a fact if you let brake fulids go without changing them your caliper pistons start to rust and pit I've had to rebuild my fair share i really should have replaced they were so bad. Most cylinder pistons are chrome plated water gets behind the chrome and rusts. I've made calipers for tractors in a machine shop its cast iron with a chrome piston and 2 large flat o rings, the bore can rust and if its there a long time so can the piston. If your brake fluids red, its rust. Brake fluids absorbed water moisture it can age on the shelf at the store I've read you should only buy it in a metal can plastic pourious enough to let water in. You can buy rebuild kits from Toyota for toyota cars as well as starter repair kits. I used to be able to buy altonator rebuild parts. Kinda not worth it because you have to solider the rectifying diodes in place and i don't own a torch.

  2310. Good move rejecting this car. Not worth the trouble of getting involved. Well past it’s use by date, needs to be recycled.
    14
  2311. Just donated. Glad I was able to help out. If this guy is important to you then he’s important to me, and should be important to all your followers. Keep up the good work, great videos and following that awesome heart of yours. I’ll be praying 🙏 for Ryan and his family. That this is resolved quickly and that he’s able to return to his family at great speed. God bless them and you for caring. Sincerely, Clyde Ray

  2312. I’ve never seen a diesel injector come out so easy in my life lol
    14
  2313. Man I just love watching you work, only subscribe to your channel about a week ago and I probably watched all of your videos already, wait... hears one I missed, gotta go...
    14
  2314.  @DavidSmith-sw5kg  Common sense is no longer common any more sadly.
    14
  2315. Hope to see you back in the shop soon. RRR is a waaay better reality show than 99% of the stuff the networks churn out, and educational too. I bet it won't be very long at all before YOUR phone is going doodle do.
    14
  2316. ​ @SB-js6st You do know that Eric O watches Ray. He's even picked up the Doo-Dee-Doodly-Doo sometimes when his phone rings. Besides, these B2300/Rangers don't need a Pico-Scope. All they want is to be tickled under the hood just right and they'll wake up and come around. (I bet it's not the ECM, either. Mine was the coil and 1 bad plug wire Combo. Same exact symptoms).

  2317. He might have been shoulder to shoulder with my dad. They really were the greatest generation.

  2318. Patience is a virtue and well-intended for good job! she should have took her car to a Jiffy Lube or 10-minute oil change and really have a messed up car afterwards !
    14
  2319. Before I got to the bit where you said how long it took, I had in my mind that oil & filter change would be around 50 mins, although if I was on the desk I’d tell the customer it’d be an hour. Used to have this all the time in my old job, "isn’t it ready yet"…. It’ll be ready when it is ready!
    14
  2320. You totally got me with the Pilarsaurus’s and filter cap 😂😂 I nearly went into full Karen spec.
    14
  2321. Never run low on Blinker fluid, the whole car will screw up! lol
    14
  2322. "Exxon Valdeezing all over the shop"...awesome reference!
    14
  2323. Ray. Please take this for what it is meant to be - education for all. You are a very talented tech but every time you get near an automatic transmission, I go into cold sweats.( I am the 6L80 "snap ring guy" from about a year ago.) While not critical for a 4T60-65 (is critical for 6T75) when you replace a torque converter in a transverse application, it is trade practice to install it in the vertical plane - not the horizontal plane. This is because inside some torque converters for these applications the TCC seal is inside the converter, not on the shaft. Any misalignment of the shaft places weight stress on the seal and could damage it resulting in a loss of lockup. Also, the component you called the "turbine" is in fact the stator. This is what creates torque multiplication, hence the term "torque converter". Without this component, then all you have is a fluid coupling.(such as the first autos). The torque converter has 3 main parts(4 in the case of lockup TC) The impeller(driven by the engine), the turbine(coupled to the transmission input shaft) and the stator(creates torque multiplication). In lockup TC's, you also have the clutch lockup disk(activated by a valve in the pump).
    14
  2324. Was waiting on this. Glad you and the family are good.

  2325. No witness marks LMAO you got me there brother I subscribe

  2326. Let's just break down his sentence and come at this with some logic 1. Please stop trying to be funny. This statement implies that the subject matter in the video in which is being discussed is not funny, and that the video creator is presenting an illusion of comedy. Simply put Richard Turk is stating that the subject matter has little to no comedic effect. 2. Because it's now working. This statement implies that while the video creator in the past had little to no success with his comedic intentions. It seems that it is no longer necessary to force such an effort, and that the natural way in which his conversations flow provide the necessary amount of comedy. An alternate argument one could pose is that Richard Turk simply misspelt the word "Now" and meant to write "Not". Using logic you must understand the fact that "w" is only three spaces from the "t". This is definite proof that mathematically speaking, it is impossible for this to be a grammatical error on the part of Richard Turk. This is because there is only an 11.538% chance that this could in fact be a spelling error. Conclusion: The subject matter of the video has comedic values and contains properties sufficient enough to produce laughter. the creator of the video, while guilty of showing poor comedic values in the past, Now shows proper comedic effect and no longer needs to push his comedic values to the audience Clarification: The statement above only reflects the opinion of Mr. Turk. The original post implies only the opinion of one, and therefore necessitates me to point this fact out. Generally speaking, comedy in it of itself is subjective, and therefore requires more data to fully determine whether or not ones own comedic endeavour is successful. Keep this fact in mind while taking Richard Turks statement into consideration.

  2328. Welding the bottom away from the dust boot is perfectly fine as long as you don't see the grease leaving the boot it's good.
    14
  2329. Not first, but proud to be present
    14
  2330. I was about to post this. It sounds a lot like high timing. I don’t think Ray is versed too well in old school carburetors and timing not done by a computer. Not his fault, not many of this type of car shows up at the shop.
    14
  2331. I’m very happy to be subbed to your channel. You’re very consistent with content and I enjoy every video. I recently got a m12 Milwaukee extended 3/8 ratchet with a 2.0ah battery. I find myself saying click every time I feel it’s torqued to spec.
    14
  2332. That's why everything looks funny in that engine bay...there are two cylinders missing.
    14
  2333. good thing its a hybrid, you can still use the 2.5 mile range of the electric system :)

  2334. “And that ladies and gentlemen… is what nightmares are made of”

  2335. A quicker way would be to just lower the car down and drive around until the wheel falls off!! Much faster, although usually causes some damage... Thanks for the video!

  2338. I've worked in the auto industry for almost 30 years. I've never seen a Yukon/Escalade be only RWD ever. I thought those were all AWD. Dam southern folk trippin me out!
    14
  2339.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  thanks for the info. I don't park under trees, but near farm fields. Now I know where to look for the pesky water sounds!
    14
  2340. At 5:30 you showed an oil extractor. At Walmart, we use them on most cars because supposedly it results in less claims because no more stripped drain plugs, cross threading, not tightening it enough, over torquing, and etc. getting the plastic tube stuck in their motor though…. That’s happened twice in six months. Really cool most of the time though. As the service manager… less claims, equals a higher bonus for me and my boss!! Nice shop man. Been hooked and watching daily for a year now. Have a good one!! Oh yeah (adhd….) The company we use is Samson. For our oil evac.)
    14
  2341.  @rjinhobart7748  LOL! AvE is the only YT creator that has a website to translate his slang to English. He isn't inoffensive nor intentionally offensive to any one group, he's just him.
    14
  2342. It takes all kinds Ray..No worries
    14
  2343. It’s hard to keep things clean when you have employees keep tossing cans of brake clean on the floor 😂
    14
  2344. So cool to see your shop is working out and you made it on your own.
    14
  2345. Custom exhaust mounts. Nice :) That's in mint condition for "South Main Auto's" :)
    14
  2346. I’m a mechanic that moved to Florida a few years ago and if you think the control arms on that car are nuts you should see some of the claptrap’s that roll into my shop on a daily basis here. I’m talking about cars with no seats, seat belts, floors, door handles, instrument clusters, and are literally held together with chicken wire and duct tape. Cars that are flat out death traps to their owners and everyone around them and nobody seems to care here. The ball joints aren’t ideal but they are far from being unsafe and they aren’t going anywhere. Save the reee for the 8 million actual death traps that tentatively roll around this state. A few of which have already crashed through my back fence this year. One was cause when the piano wire that held the brake pedal assembly together snapped and the steering wheel came off (no I’m not kidding). Shit like that is why a lot of states have safety inspections (I lived in a few in my military career) and as much of a scam and a pain in the ass they can be it’s a dam sight better than some of the crap I see rolling around here (which frankly us techs can’t do a whole hell of a lot about) I refuse working cars like that constantly but there’s always a shop down the street or a friend that will or they just tie shit together with string. The point is the ball joint flaming is much adieu about nothing just less than ideal circumstances I have no doubt ray would have flat out refused to do something truly unsafe just like I do all the time. Sometimes you just have to get creative.
    14
  2347. #4 Happy Saturday Ray!! Hope the little one heals quickly🤗
    14
  2348. Glad to see WIFE UNIT and Dave both see the need for aid in clearing "door of death". Hope your Christmas went very well.
    14
  2349. "Das Auto ist gut" let a laugh out of me every time 😂 why do I find this so funny
    13
  2350. I've found that customers become hyper-sensitive of what their cars are doing, AFTER the bill punches their wallet in the face. Now, psychologically, they think that all their problems have been fixed. Happens frequently, especially for the people with expensive cars and a beer budget. This customer probably hasn't looked down at the gauges in months, now they care about the car again, since their wallet hurts. I see the gas gauge is at 1/2, probably added 20 bucks the day before and lost the gas cap. "But, but, it's gotta be your fault, you touched it last!"
    13
  2351. Worked in an auto tire and oil change shop for 5 yrs as a manager and I can’t count how many times a customer brought in their POS and claimed we as a shop made the CEL come on after they left after having a service done, only for me to explain that the light was on when it came in or the tires we sold them are junk and they only got maybe 5k to 10k miles on the tires. Once again I would have to explain that maybe they should have the alignment checked out by a shop the did that service, and 9 times out of 10 the vehicle was way screwed up before they brought it in and tried to get something for nothing. If some people treated their vehicles as precious as they treat their phones there wouldn’t be any problems when they come in. Damn glad I don’t have to hear from people like that anymore.
    13
  2352.  @nightrider1700  Bruh come to India ! Here they gas anything! 😂 They don’t even vacuum de gas ( whatever they call it ) they just let the refrigerant out! 😑 Even me asking about the fact that don’t they need to take the waste refig back !
    13
  2353. I’m glad you’re keeping the videos coming! Happy Thanksgiving!
    13
  2354.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  Yes Sir - Took our family trip to Texas Houston - Renaissance Festival Now eating all this delicious food and enjoying life so I seen my boyfriend pop up with a new video and had to show some love Now here I am loving
    13
  2355. "I didnt throw it.. gravity stole it from me" Im stealing that line lmao
    13
  2356. We are conditioned to watch what ever he does now !
    13
  2357. Absolutely would love to see the repair video. I have a 2008 Lt Trailblazer and my son has a 2006 Trailblazer, in which replaced the power steering lines. PITA, big time.
    13
  2358. Justin listens to you. He's going to become a most excellent engineer.
    13
  2359. Y’all need to cut Aaron some slack. Now at least he knows it’s not bulbs or the switch. When it happens again, he can research the matter further. For now, there’s a smile on the wife’s face, all is happy.
    13
  2360. I have full faith in Banks to have at least considered the possibility and, after extensive testing, determined the danger to be essentially non-existent. After watching the series they posted on how they designed and manufactured their diff covers I believe them to be pretty intelligent and consider most if not all failure modes for their performance parts.
    13
  2361. wow ray its about time you put a video up been waiting days love the content but the most important thing is to have yourself a great day Ray
    13
  2362.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  State inspections also tend to burden smaller independent shops with endless special equipment, fees and miscellaneous paperwork that does not benefit you or your shop. This is happening all over Pennsylvania in recent years were the state inspection shops are starting to unenroll from the program because it’s now costing more to be a state inspection shop and a regular repair shop.
    13
  2363. I just saw this channel for the 1st time. You're funny without trying to be. Well done
    13
  2364. This is good. So glad your shop survived. Nothing can stop you, Ray. Onto the next adventure!
    13
  2365. Lol...."yeah, no, no check engine light. Alright guys, thanks for watching" 😄
    13
  2366. “It must be a Dorman subframe”. Now that’s funny right there😂
    13
  2367. Came here to say that as well.
    13
  2368. You need to have the wife unit come up with a “noodle arm” shirt design!!
    13
  2369. You think engineers would make a choice like that of their own free will? That kind of choice was made by the bean counters- "We want this amount of power in that amount of space. Oh, and cut every last corner to squeeze every last penny out of the cost of each vehicle."
    13
  2370. Ok I'll be the one to say it.... NO SAFTEY STANDS!? NO GLOVES!? You could have been under that vehicle and if the tire suddenly deflated you'd been a goner. This is YT, never get under a non jacked up vehicle with out a life jacket. Gosh you have so much to learn 😐
    13
  2371. Loving the way the shop is coming together looks awesome 👍👍👍
    13
  2372. I'm trying, but completely failing to remember the last time I told a mechanic when he would make sure my car was ready. In fact, I'm pretty sure that has never happened - ever.
    13
  2373. Very thoughtful of the original owner to have included the optional windshield cowl bolt tray.
    13
  2374. There's always that one thumbs down, I don't get it. Maybe they don't like your sense of humor.
    13
  2375. Monsooooonnnnn on a nice hot sunny day
    13
  2376. Glad DirtyMax survived and you had the opportunity to test said air scoop. 👍🥇Banks Performance!
    13
  2377. "If asking doesn't work you move on to guilt trips and then bullying " Words of wisdom.
    13
  2378. Been watching your videos. This is my first post comment, I want to thank you for being an honest mechanic and not taking peoples cars for granted by doing unnecessary repairs. Saved the ol lady some money. Heck just repeat business even if there's an issue (hopefully unrelated) with her ol van
    13
  2379. Don't give up the "click"! As a Mechanic of over 35 years, I too have acquired the ability to measure torque. Sure there are times where I use the wrench, but for the most part, experience has taught me the correct amount of force to apply to fasteners. Both new and old ones!
    13
  2380. Ray, you do what you do and we will watch or not. I personally just like going to work with you and listening to you babble about what you are doing. Like others here, I have learned enough from you to be brave enough to do work on my own vehicles. Just did a dreaded Subaru rear wheel bearing hub on my wife’s car. Definitely struggled, but channeled my inner “Ray” and got it done!
    13
  2381. And the sound effects: Doo-daa-dooo. Click. Gravity. I win.
    13
  2382. Thanks for reminding me why my last two purchases were Toyota and Lexus LOL
    13
  2383. Good job ray, watched all 4 parts, the spring install was sketchy at best, a lot of stored kinetic energy. I checked Amazon, a spring compress is only 45 bucks, that's cheap price to pay for safety and factor in hourly shop rates plus your hourly rate. Actually the shop should be responsible to buy this piece of equipment
    13
  2384. The show must go on,no time to be scared of a coil spring.You the man Ray.
    13
  2385.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  it seems that @John Smith went waaaaay too dark side and beyond reeeeeee
    13
  2386. You can tell by Stan's pic he trolls with the account. Were that a serious rant, he would have been back in 7x over with increasing insanity. That, or he's being sarcastic. Regardless, I think he accomplished his intended goal.
    13
  2387. PROOF! Dealership Ripped off Customer! Not so fast Ray!!!! The dealership was literally only speaking figuratively. Without specifying which way they were turned, the tech took the wheel off, , he literally omitted to say that he only figuratively turned each rotor by hand hand without saying not literally on the lathe while the rotors were literally still on the car . Secondly.., without specifying where the metal in the trans fluid came from..., the service tech at the dealership is right in figuratively saying that the transmission fluid literally do have some trace base elements of iron, cadmium, copper, magnesium, zinc etc...in it when the fluid is made And thirdly..... The customer was figuratively given 30% off nothing because the dealership literally did nothing. Ergo....., 30% of nothing is still nothing so they literally cancel each other out which makes perfect sense..., that of course is just figuratively speaking.... All jokes aside, I hope some day you win a lottery for being such an honest dude.. *Hits the Like Button*
    13
  2388. The best intro to date. Well that i have seen. What a cool little side project and showing a different way of using everyday tool to remove stubborn brass fitting.
    13
  2389. Your growth as a video editor/videographer is really impressive. Seems you excel at what ever you do, impressive Mr. Ray! You make your videos interesting and entertaining and thank you for that!
    13
  2390. Soldering tip. Heat the material with the iron first, then touch the soldering wire to the material, this way the solder wicks deep into the material.
    13
  2391. At least you caught yourself without falling, I literally hit the floor, hurt my knee, and lost one of my socks in the process.....
    13
  2392. I can't describe how highly impressed I am with you work sir! As for your coworker who so desperately is seeking screentime... Hand him a coloring book lol. Keep it up pal. And good for you, after watching your 2nd channel.
    13
  2393. HI RAY< like your vids. MIGHT i suggest the string trick for home mechanics.You simply take a piece of WEAK string and tie it to a fan blade then tie it off to some part of the fender that's solid,THEN start the motor and wait ti see if it breaks the string when it's gets hot enough to lock up.!!! HINT>>DON'T tie it to the AIR CONDITIONING HOSE,haha.I know it's right in line with the fan there ,BUT JUST DON'T.ASK me how i learned that trick,haha
    13
  2394. The GoPro Hero9 can take memory cards up to 256GB, but 128GB cards work very well for normal usage. The bitrate of even the 5k recording mode in the Hero 9 is only up to 100Mbps which is 12.5MB/s so you don't actually need an ultra-fast micro sd memory card, just one that comes rated with a minimum of a U3 spec. What are the best memory cards for GoPro Hero 9? Best Overall. SanDisk 128GB Extreme A2 V30 Micro SD – 160MB/s. The SanDisk Extreme line is a great choice for use in any of GoPros latest models. Best Value. MyMemory 64GB V30 PRO Micro SD – 180MB/s. Best High Capacity. SanDisk 256GB Extreme Plus V30 Micro SD – 170MB/s. Thanks for another great upload.

  2395. i dont know a lot about vehicles, and i like how quickly the diagnostic went from starting the car to a gentle womp on things with a rubber hammer :)
    13
  2396. Well it certainly can drive out. Stopping at the first light though...
    13
  2397. I have a suggestion, never say "it should be easy", at that point Murphy's Law is invoked. Better to say, after the fact it was easier than I thought.
    13
  2398. Hey Ray. Don't listen to any of these comments. I've been an audio engineer, master audio tech, inventor of speakers and I was there when the first sound wave was created. I have over 420 years of experience and everything you did was right.
    13
  2399. Hello Ray! This episode reminded me of the only time I ever had to press bearings and / or seals. It wasn't boring, it was terrifying! One slip and I ruin $$$$ worth of equipment. And at the time, being young and stupid, and having a master machinist come by and scream about what I did or didn't do every five minutes made the whole process worthy of PTSD. Thanks again Ray for the wonderful video content! And Ray, I have a great day because more often than not YOU made it a great day! 😁😁😁 Thank you!!!
    13
  2400. You will notice that not pre-filling the oil filter caused the truck to detonate immediately on start up. The ensuing fireball and smoke cloud was mistaken for a missile launch by North Korea who retaliated with a nuclear launch to which we responded in kind and soon large parts of the globe were rendered flat, burnt and glowing so yea — not Pre-filling the oil filter was the end of the world. Sheesh.
    13
  2401. There was a jump cut right before that test drive, which I'm pretty sure is when he recorded that bit at the beginning with the air gun, so I think it's fair to say he tightened the clamps in that short period "when [we] weren't looking" as Ray likes to say. 🙂

  2402. I think it's water from the A/C drain.

  2403. This was the day before the giving of thanks I hope. Shop looks like a shop instead of a dungeon. Loved the improvements since day one. Happy Thanksgiving, Ray and Lauren.
    13
  2404. Much as I avoid Cardone, I'll take one rebuilt in Mexico over another brand that is new from China any day.
    13
  2405. I hope you can keep filming videos. Love them.
    13
  2406. Great video ray!!! Do you do all police vehicles in your area? That would b a very good thing! Gotta keep our brothers in blue safe on the road and able to perform important jobs just as your job ots vital and ever so appreciated!!! Thanks again ray!!! You da man!!! N wife unit helpful as always! The dynamic duo!!!
    13
  2407. As usual having my coffee with Ray. Good video 👍👍
    13
  2408. 15,000 plus already raised for Ryan. Amen praise God! I am so great full that there are still good people in this world willing to give and support a stranger. We are well struggling financially paying outrageous amounts for food and gas but still find just a little to help someone in need. God bless everyone who was able and maybe helping still giving.
    13
  2409. God bless to all in the region.

  2410. I can appreciate your opinion. This is my work vehicle that I invested in. It cost me 750 bucks. I have been using it to haul flooring for my customers. It has saved me roughly 900 bucks a month on U-Haul costs. So say what you must. I am so happy Ray has taken his time to find the issue. Hopefully one day I can buy another transit van to replace it soon. I am content to have a paid for floor hauling machine that will get me to the 3rd quarter so that I can pay cash for a 250 transit van. Thanks Ray you are the best.

  2411. @RainmanRaysRepairs , Hi Ray. You are on the right track with your system in the truck. I would like to recommend this to help, A Renogy DCC50S DC to DC plus MPPT solar charger. It is specifically designed for dual battery systems like an RV. But will be perfect for your system. And you can put it in parallel with the golf cart contactor and use the contactor to run the inverters higher current than 50A but I wouldn't do that if you have solar panels connected to it. BTW the proper NATO phonetic for the letter P is " Pappa" The charge controller will automatically charge the AGM battery in the bed of the truck and also keep both batteries charged if you connect a solar panel system to it as well. And if you add an renogy BT-2 bluetooth monitor you can use the Renogy app on your phone to monitor the batteries from the house. I have a 2012 Jeep Liberty with a 280W solar panel on it and a 300ah LiFePo4 12v battery with the DCC50S and BT-2 for the last 2 years and it works great. It is all automatic, when the DCC50S senses the truck system voltage is above 13.9 it knows the truck is running and charges both batteries. This is better for the AGM as it will limit the charge current to the AGM to a max of 50A and also do float charging and equalizing charge as well. Right now the only charging you have is the trucks two alternators that isn't controlled. So if the AGM is low on charge and you have the truck running. It looks like you are running 2awg cable from the truck to the golf cart contactor. I will guess that cable is about 12 feet. You will be dumping up to 200A into that battery and exceeding the current capacity of that cable size at that length. If it is 2awg and 12 feet long, Max I would run though it is 150A. That is why I have 0awg running from my TIPM battery connection to my AUX power system. My load is just my two way radios 70A and my box fan that is 10A at high speed. And my 36V boost converter to charge my golf cart at 10A.
    13
  2412. Spot on!
    13
  2413.  @tx4runner459  I am jealous! As a rule of thumb, I dont touch anything on the exhaust of any vehicle up here until it falls off, then park the car, spend a week drilling out studs, and replace the whole works of it, manifold to tail pipe haha. Touch it early and you end up replacing it all anyways 😝
    13
  2414. When I was doing volunteer work over here in Australia the people who owned the Toyota Hilux which I was driving didn't service it for about 22,000 kilometres (14,000 miles) & I checked the oil level on the dipstick & it didn't register on the dipstick so we got $30 AUD off them & the engine took me 5 our of 6 litres of oil,it was only a 5 year old vehicle in 2015, there was only about 1 litre (1 quart) of oil left in the engine. They eventually got it serviced but it's surprising that the 4 litre 1GR-FE V6 engine didn't blow up, they're not cheap either as someone was selling a high kilometre (250,000 kilometre or 155,000 miles) one online for $4000 AUD. It wasn't leaking or burning oil,it just vapourized & I would hate there to have been a thick formation of greasy sludge at the bottom of the oil pan !
    13
  2415.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  Pain is just weakness leaving the body! No seriously excellent work Ray and hope that the sorness subsides soon. Aleve / ibuprofen and hot bath may help. Would love to see you put you hands and skills to an Ecoboost V6 timing job!
    13
  2416. Ray, I think I can speak for all of us when I say we wish you continued success on your YouTube journey. It seems like only a couple months ago you were at just a few thousand followers - now you’re approaching 150k. Thanks for the free entertainment, and watch out for a beer fund donation via Patreon in the near future 👍🤟
    13
  2417. Wtf? Surely people buy what they want? Yea, I bought thousands of dollars on diagnostic equipment, but that’s my work.
    13
  2418. I don't understand why people have to worry about what another person is doing with their own hard earned money. I've never been employed as a mechanic but I work on my own stuff. I wanted Snap-on tools so I bought them. I've got a 68" Epic box with 10's of thousands of dollars in mostly Snap-on tools inside. That's what I wanted so that's what I bought.
    13
  2419. Probing the rear end. Did it taste like a penny? Love the cover. Banks makes some awesome stuff.
    13
  2420. "Probing the Rear End" 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Thanks Ray for making me laugh so hard😆😆 Have a great weekend my friend👍
    13
  2421. But still you are the best Erik!🥳
    13
  2422. The way I would have done it: 1) Check for external leaks. 2) Check the floor for anti-freeze. 3) Check for white 'smoke' at the tailpipe. 4) Check the crankcase and under the oil filler cap. 5) Pressure test. 6) Check for exhaust gas in coolant. If all was good, I'd be looking to something that was plugged/restricted up or messed pump impeller.
    13
  2423. ...After seeing the last broken engine tear downs...I was thinking it would be awesome to see Ray put one back together!...awesome work...going to be a good series of rebuild videos!...thanks for sharing...stay safe out there!!😎👍🤙👍🤙🇨🇦
    13
  2424. The work is certainly coming in quickly Ray, you've established your business in record time. Great to see.
    13
  2425. Notification squad assemble!
    13
  2426. Your not the only one on YouTube with that problem but thanks for the heads up 😃
    13
  2427. He shoves his hand in next to running radiator fan, but honks for safety when backing up.😂😃
    13
  2428. Gotta love Mr wizards magic box. Service bulletins. And experience with pinpoint testing. That's what makes Ray so effective is his tenacity with seeing how it can go wrong and checking it that way too. It's a joy to watch and it's well edited. We may not get that kind of instant gratification on our own cars at shops because the boring reality has been delightfully edited out. Thanks Ray. You show things I didn't get to do with my Fluke meter. It would have been nice, back In the day, to even get authorized for the first hour of diagnosis according to state guidelines. Things took longer and they would try to speculate. The real right testing would occur, but after the guess was tried. Manuals were problematic also. You're lucky. Count your blessings, my friend. You show real qualities that are to be aspired to.
    13
  2429. this looks more like need a new trailer then a brake job
    13
  2430. That's a nice tool for compressing the piston, need to get one of those. Thanks for sharing, never knew that existed.
    13
  2431.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  It only needs to be cleaned where the terminal contacts the cable clamps for it to work. everything else is for show. You have a lot of OCD Car Salesmen watching your videos who need to stay in the showroom drinking coffee.
    13
  2432. Covid is nasty stuff. I had it back in January. Glad you're doing better. Enjoy your videos!!
    13
  2433. Second hand mini's are dirt cheap, made by BMW so there's a high component fail rate and pretty much any serious work is an engine out job.
    13
  2434. Been a long time viewer and have watched all the changes this sir is a testament to your character as a well spoken and educated individual. There is way too much hate in this world and too much mud slinging and cutting down be it person to person or people to companies rather than build up its all tear down. Rather than learn from mistakes and progress forward its now berate and shun for not beinging perfect from the get go. Im glad they are providing you the opportunity to see how things are done now compared to a decade ago and i thing that them offering you the replacements was a good gesture on their part and if you are using them it will give us as viewers the ability to see them in action and get a honest review on the good or bad but at least they are being given a chance. Kudos to you ray keep up the amazing work there arent many people like you left in this world sadly.
    13
  2435. Boy I was kinda shocked you'd do the threadlock/impact deal!! LOL got me good!
    13
  2436. Thanks you so much on your broadcast of what matters. Keep up the great work and your better half and your kids bunch of joy
    13
  2437.  @grex2595  Chinesium refers to a country, not a race. It seems you forget that racially Chinese people are from many countries, including those which don't have the extreme counterfeit or safety issues with domestically produced products.
    13
  2438. The probes represent a tradeoff. On one hand, those slimmer probes allow you to get into areas that the larger probes than normally come with the multimeter will permit. The tradeoff is that extra care has to be taken when using those to troubleshoot known shorts. Realistically, the gauge of those slimmer probes will not handle a 15 amp draw and using them on a known short circuit is going to guarantee them as the failure point instead of the fuse. Frankly, I like the fact that Ray "took one for the team" and fried a set of probes for our educational benefit and entertainment. I have to confess, it was a little exciting while the fire was raging on the probes. I have seen worse when aircraft mechanics were troubleshooting electrical systems. Still, great troubleshooting.
    13
  2439. Hello Ray...Thank you for all the videos you put forth for your viewers. Can't please everyone, so they will just have to get over it and enjoy the content you out forth. I, amongst many, do appreciate your efforts! Thank you also for sharing clips of your adventure in Vegas at SEMA. Many of us will never get there, so this is as close as we will ever get. Very kind of you to take time out of your enjoyment to share the excitement with us. God Bless and stay safe!!!! 🙏
    13
  2440. I bought my son a set of those ratcheting wrenches. I loved them so much, I kept them! Maybe he'll get a set next C'mas?!
    13
  2441. I’m up. I’m up
    13
  2442. Always loved the Shelby GT. Great movie Ford Vs Ferrari. Someone took a lot of shortcuts on that replica, Good thing Ray's sorting them out, should be a Cool reliable Hot rod when he's done with it💯💯💯
    13
  2443. The problem that you are having may relate to a short in the esc, it may be causing some of the power to be combining in the motor.
    13
  2444. Happy Saturday Ray. The shop is coming along. So excited what your shop will become.
    13
  2445. Ya know I was just about to complain about that and then I see this lol
    12
  2446. The people that are complaining about the gloves apparently don't know how easily stained they become. As you say, they appear dirty. After they're wiped down sufficiently and are completely dry, you can put your grubby looking hands over everything and absolutely nothing will happen. I especially wear gloves, stained or otherwise, in the interior of a vehicle when there's a nice thick coat of crusty dried lotion on everything. Sometimes it's still wet, yay. Also if it's just flat out nasty in there. People just see what they see and have no idea what they're talking about in the end of it all
    12
  2447. Interesting "autopsy" of that blown up diesel. Hard to pinpoint the point of initial failure. I think your conclusion is spot on. When it started to fail, it grenaded big time. Teardown on an engine is always nicer when you don't have to concern yourself with reassembly. Thanks for the trip through it. 🙂
    12
  2448. Soooo glad you’re back “start your day with Rainman Ray” just isn’t the same if you take out the Rainman. Even the stuff you facetiously call riveting, is still entertaining for your real fans.
    12
  2449. I love these longer videos from u Ray
    12
  2450. “Oh cool, can’t even get the wheel off.” So we apparently have a similar sense of humor.
    12
  2451. I hope your wife watches these videos so she can appreciate all the hard work you do .. 👍
    12
  2452. I'd like to see the wrist pin and the underside of the piston. If that somehow locked up, the crank could've broken the rod off then hammered the piston up into the valves.
    12
  2453. If you would loop the fuel feed line around the exhaust pipe like 4 loops it will help pre-heat the fuel for a more efficient burn. Mustangs love it. Adds 10hp per loop and 2mpg per loop as well. If you venturi washer fluid into the throttle body it will max the HP into pure LLama Thrusts as well.
    12
  2454. Now your Ray's auto clinic, fancy.
    12
  2455. Part 2 was equally interesting. Having the knowledge about the history of these engines gives the customer a better repair experience. Replacing the lifters/rockers will make for a better repair and longer engine life. One of the many reasons Ray's customers get quality service. IMO 😊
    12
  2456. So sad, I really wanted to watch the seat repair of those cut wires. To bad the customer turn that down. :( But this and the other video on this Flex was great.
    12
  2457. glad you and your family are ok.
    12
  2458. This is why I spent $14,000 on a whole house Generator that may never ever get used for a hurricane, but I do live 10 minutes from the gulf.
    12
  2459. Oh shit, is this the Rainman Cinematic Universe?
    12
  2460. I was kinda amazed that ur current shop acknowledges that u videotape everything, most coolsies
    12
  2461. I couldn’t get you tube to load all day until after work on the roku. I can’t express how thankful I am for you guys. I have grown, at 48, past the point of being able to take in tv shows that are just written. I love good real content. I tried to avoid “content” but it’s what this is. I can’t think of anything I’d rather watch than a new video of car repair, or woodworking or whatever be the case. It’s so much better. So much.
    12
  2462. FACTS!!! I AM HOOKED TOO!!!🤣🤣🤣
    12
  2463. You worry about making videos too long, but that isn’t possible. You make excellent videos. I have done hundreds of spark plug changes, on about every make, but yet I just watched an entire 43 minute video of a plug and coil change and was disheartened it ended; Hell I was hoping to watch the oil change too.
    12
  2464. Congratulations on hitting +400k subscribers!
    12
  2465. Ohh, a connect, I used to manage a fleet of these so I wonder whats wrong with it? Ours used to eat front arms and drive shafts and tyres, also the older ones used to blow boost hoses and would have clutch pedal faults that would get fixed by simply pulling the pedal up
    12
  2466. Great video Ray! Really enjoy your channel and content!
    12
  2467.  @moehoward01  He does. You're right. It is his channel. I believe that Ray values free speech and as long as I am not personally attacking someone, then my opinions can stand. That's like me saying to you that because you have a different opinion than me that I should block you. I wouldn't do that. I also have respect for your right to free speech. It's ok and welcome for people to have differences of opinion. We can learn from each other that way. We can try to understand each other and maybe make our lives better for it.
    12
  2468. You can't fool us with a late morning release Ray ....we will find ....watch.....like the video and then smash that subscribe
    12
  2469. Watching you work on vehicles like this make me appreciate your skills and tenacity. It also makes me appreciate my old GMC pickup with a SBC in it. I plan on keeping it until they pry my cold fingers from the key. Thanks.
    12
  2470. Did I hear a leaking exhaust flange or manifold? Love your videos. From Australia 🇦🇺
    12
  2471. wow good to hear the team is growing. Good Speed Ray, the best wishes for you and your family.
    12
  2472. Thanks for all the extra content...lol. Love everything you do, Ray ❤️😎❤️
    12
  2473. Ray's already married to wife unit twice.
    12
  2474. In the 35 years before I retired I rebuilt 100's of Cummins and CAT engines. LUCKILY they all went well, but those first startups were so scary. Great job you guys. Always enjoy your videos.
    12
  2475.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  agreed! I hope you don't take anything to heart, sir, you just keep doing what you do. Haters are always more vocal than supporters. Looking forward to part 2 of this repair!
    12
  2476. There is much that I appreciate about this channel and one thing in particular is that you teach others a basic understanding of things people should know about their vehicle. Not so much for people going out to repair it on their own, but to know enough to not let asshat mechanics screw you. You're doing a service to the public besides your fantastic trade skills. Thank you.
    12
  2477. This brings me back. You have come so far.
    12
  2478. And I thought I was the only one who put fasteners back in their spot or close to the part for easy location upon reassembly. I've learned a lot watching. You are a great teacher!
    12
  2479. Adam Savage from Mythbusters once said that the difference between science and screwing around is data. Since you had the scan tool connected, this was science!
    12
  2480. In an import shop I managed, we began to see these issues with mini Coopers (BMW DI engines). BG developed a cleaning kit for those GDI engines. These designs were developed to squeeze more horsepower of smaller engines, but with time, carbon build up became an issue. Toyota later added another injector in the intake runner so now they had a GDI injector and a port injector to eliminate this issue. The industry had to adjust to massive governmental oversight in the area of US EPA CAFE standards and increased emission standards (Obama Administration). This technology works, but it also demands regular maintenance (BG told us 20/30,000 miles. A catch can will reduce the carbon build up on the back side of the intake valves.
    12
  2481. Lol, love it! I could actually hear the REEEE from here, when you put the lug back on before cleaning it. And when you didn’t fill the filter, I actually got light headed from all the air the trolls sucked in. Another great video.
    12
  2482. Missed you for a while Ray. I’m glad to be back my friend
    12
  2483. I’m so happy to see Ray back in his element. Good for all of us
    12
  2484. So many geniuses in the comments on your videos…. Always have a better idea and trying to spot “ mistakes”.
    12
  2485. In farm country in the middle of Pennsylvania you only need to let something set for 6 hours to have at least four mud dauber tunnels started and about an inch or more long. Those suckers are quick around here.
    12
  2486. I'm freaking love the intro! The vibe at the start is amazing
    12
  2487. Another really great video. Appreciate you taking the time and effort to make these videos - keeps me on my toes as to what I should be checking on my car and how to tackle various jobs. Regards from England.UK. 🇬🇧
    12
  2488. Even frustrating just watching you do this...but you won!
    12
  2489. Don't forget the omen of a Blood Moon last night. Full moon total lunar eclipse.
    12
  2490. Yesterday you found out your truck has a problem with support of the shaft and today your trying to get it as deep as possible with lots of lube and forcing it without breaking the nipple while having plenty of meat in your hose..... this channel was family friendly but it really took a dive off the deep end the last day or 2 lol🤣🤣 anyway I was just going to mention that I do the same thing with vacuum hoses that change size though I've found that if I don't want them to come apart from each other easily I put cut the ends flush with each other and the expansion from the nipple inside the hose makes it stay together and become one and live happily ever after
    12
  2491. Have fun Ray you earned it brother
    12
  2492. Whoa, Trigger! The car DROVE in to have the brake warning light checked out. The customer complained that the company did a recent brake job and wanted to know why the brake light was on. Ray saw specific problems with it and tried to upsell the customer into bankruptcy. Stop acting like Biden and wanting to spend TRILLIONS of OTHER PEOPLE's money. If they only have $100 to spend on a repair [tire] or pay $1000 for a repair that was UPSOLD and get tossed from their home because they can't make rent, don't fault them. Aside from that tire, that car could be driven for YEARS and just adding fluid without the brakes going bad.
    12
  2493. Good day to you Ray...great job Lauren on getting that filter off I hope you both have a great time in Vegas you both deserve some away time for yourselves have fun guys!!!😊😊
    12
  2494. Ok Ray, my Gearwrench hose clamp pliers came in...I officially agree. They are pretty fancy. Just changed the water pump in a 2008 Exploder. Also doing the radiator...waiting on parts lol. But they definitely are "more better" than using standard pliers
    12
  2495. Good video! Hotshot trick. Back your truck up onto some 8" high blocks. This will reduce the break over angle on your ramp. Hope that helps in the future! Keep em coming!
    12
  2496. It was suggested I would like this channel, the suggestion was correct; hence I have subscribed. It's nice to subscribe to a fellow Floridian.
    12
  2497. Especially those who say "you don't need that". I don't need anyone telling me what I need or not. 99% of the time it's something I want.
    12
  2498. You'll watch this apology back next year and wonder why you even threw scraps for the trolls. You're an entertainer and a teacher aswell a mechanic and provider, all which consume your time and effort. (I was gifted a membership in your first live, and i'll keep it when it expires.):goat-turquoise-white-horns:
    12
  2499. @trollolol It is not a good day
    12
  2500. Get well soon!🔧🦝
    12
  2501. Thank you for showing the O-ring mistake! Makes me feel better about my mistakes also!
    12
  2502. I am glad you and your family are safe. 😎 Broward county. One night (Saturday) of rain, Sunday was mostly cloudy with some passing thunderstorms in the late afternoon. The shop may pick up a number of repairs, get ready for some work.
    12
  2503. Be safe man. I’m in Polk county. Just a lot of rain here. Typical FL weather.
    12
  2504. My first thought was about the banks intake on your truck that is mounted under the front bumper! I was oddly anxious watching you drive through the water with it. Glad to see you didn't have any issues with it being mounted so low.
    12
  2505. Good job Ray, I like the way you proved it was the sensor before getting the warranty replacement. I can see why some people go with generic sensors, but clearly this was inferior to the OEM sensor.
    12
  2506. Great videos man...It would be cool if you could mention the engine displacement and Trans type of the vehicle. Great camera work.
    12
  2507. Gotta hand it to Rainman Ray. He repairs every customers car as if it was his own . That's what distinguishes Rainman Ray from all the rest. 👍
    12
  2508.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  I like Eric. No offence ray.
    12
  2509. You really want listen to the advice from someone that is not emotionally attached to the situation, whether it's your mechanic or your lawyer.
    12
  2510. My god a professional mechanic that agrees with not prefilling oil filters. You just earned a sub sir. Hell must be freezing over.
    12
  2511. chill out dude
    12
  2512. This is why we have state inspections.
    12
  2513. Cool enough not to need to say “first” like I’m five years old and at a theme park. Thanks Ray! 😊
    12
  2514. Sometimes sleeping through your alarms can be a good thing. It's your body telling you it is too tired to work. If you have a job which requires concentration / care then those extra hours of sleep can be the difference between doing a good job / making a mistake that can kill someone. I was a pizza delivery guy for a while . This involves driving of course. If you are tired and driving you have a good chance of crashing. I was so tired one day that I fell asleep on my upright couch (had been working way too much and not getting enough sleep for weeks) I'm not someone who can sleep sitting up (on planes / cars) but this one time I actually did fall asleep upright. Just imagine if I did that while driving. That would have ruined the day. The shift manager got upset at me because I ended up being 30 minutes late. She had other workers there anyway so no biggie but she tried to put guilt on me. I didn't mention to her how many times she hasn't even shown up because she's been too drunk or sleeping with the younger boss (known facts).
    12
  2515. Nice Video - the best way I have found to get oil contamination out of a cooling system is to crumble up a couple of dishwasher tabs then dissolve them into a litre of water, and add it to the rest of the cooling system you've previously filled with regular water (no coolant at this stage). Run the engine up to temperature, drain and repeat if necessary. Once you're confident all the oil residue has gone ( at may typically take 2-3 cycles ) fill the cooling system with the coolant of your choice. - merry xmas.....
    12
  2516. Ray, love your videos regardless of length or complexity. Your videos have encouraged me to begin working on my own cars again. I had stopped working on my own cars when I was replacing an alternator on my 88 Camaro several years ago. I started loosening the belt tensioner and the portion where the tensioner attached to the engine broke off the tensioner. No part stores in town had the correct part, so I had to wait until Monday when the dealership parts department opened. It was Saturday. So, what should have been a 30 minute job turned into 3 hours calling parts stores to see if they had the correct part and missing a day of work on Monday to finish the job. After that, I felt it was just cheaper to have a professional mechanic do all of the work. :)

  2517. Loving the chandelier in the toilet, great to see you getting organised, it's getting there, 😁👍
    12
  2518. I see you have the money briefcase with you. Awesome.

  2519. We'll talk when it's minus 30 degrees and starting a Dodge Neon. It cranked at like 5 RPM. It started, it was beyond cold. Seats were like they were made from rock. Power steering wasn't happy. Ten minutes later heater was powerfully hot. Drove my '65 Corvair convertible with the top and windows down when it was minus 5 once.

  2520. Thoughts and prayers for Ryan and his family. Thanks for helping, Ray♡
    12
  2521. Happy new year Ray, wishing you and the fam-unit the very best for 2024!
    12
  2522. Happy New Year to you Ray, Lauren and the little aliens.

  2523. The gas no go. The hose said no. The knife went chop. And the gas now go. 👍

  2524. The problem with taking your time if you work at a dealership is that the dealer and manufacturers have already taken our time.
    12
  2525. Extra time with Ray and he found the leak. 😃 Now that gave me a great day.👍

  2526.  @AndyOamo  Not saying it was OK missing one but the chance of that wheel coming loose/off with the other five tightened to 100Lb is like zero %...

  2527. Sometimes when the bolt is "13mm" I grab the 1/2 inch for funzies

  2530. When i see Pentastar i know its gonna be a train wreck

  2531. Favorite part by far was that tour of the dashless minivan with the home wiring switches spring-clamped in various places.

  2532. Thanks!

  2535.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  About 12 years back I had a customer at my shop who had around a 98-00 Crapolier with about 200k on the clock. She was around 20 and going to school along with having a kid with a major asshat of a man. He somehow thought he was somebody because he was assistant manager at a local shoe store. She was pleasant to deal with, and I did what I could to make the maintenance of the car affordable for her while still keeping the car safe. One day she called me asking if her man could bring the car over, as he was out driving it (not owning one of his own) and had a tire losing air. Of course I obliged and when he arrived I could see a shiny nail head in the right rear. While he was standing there and talking with me I threw a jack under the car, yanked the nail and plugged it. Never even took the wheel off the car and did all this in front of him from start to finish. As she was a regular customer I didn't bother to charge anything. For repeat customers I would goodwill such a minor thing. I was out maybe fifty cents in supplies and five minutes of my time. I would lose more money bothering to write up a work order. Fast forward six months later. She tells me the rear brakes are making noise and feel bad. I get it apart to see it needs rear brakes. Previous owner had shoe-slapped it and with so many miles on it the original drums couldn't be turned. I called her with a reasonable quote to repair this and make it safe. I could hear her man screaming in the background when I told her the price saying that I was the last one to touch it and therefore had sabotaged those brakes to make them fail. He then grabbed the phone from her and began screaming at me that I was a ripoff, a cheat and was trying to sleep with his woman (she was cute so I would've been down, but I never kept things anything but professional in my shop). I invited him to come to the shop and tell me that in person. Told him I would send everyone else home and shut the doors so we could "discuss" things without interruption. He hung up. The girl showed up at my shop the next day apologizing profusely. Apparently her man was drunk and that money was something he wanted to spend on a xbox or some other sort of video game bullshit. While being an underemployed loser who was barely providing for his kid. I serviced her car for about another year after that. Hope she eventually got rid of that man, he never once came to my shop ever again.

  2536. 49:21 Seeing you check for traffic even when you've got a green light makes you one of the few drivers I'd share a road with. The number of drivers who fail situational awareness... Yikes.
    12
  2537. Your spark plug wire puller works the best for those clips. I actually keep one in my HVAC bag to get similar clips in some equipment. Stay safe and be well. Have a great rest of your day Ray!
    12
  2538.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  Screw Richard. He can't even capitalize his first name but he can capitalize Turk 🤨😂
    12
  2539. You'd make a brilliant astronaut. I can't understand owners who'd not get the brakes and tyres replaced when informed by excellent auto technicians like you. A false economy. Love the videos.
    12
  2540. “PPV” is a term for Chevy police vehicles. Ford uses the term “Interceptor” and the Explorer SUVs are called PIU for Police Interceptor Utility.
    12
  2541. Ray, don’t let the comments get to you. What you did worked and everyone has there way of doing this. I read a lot of the comments and most are different on how they would have done it. So they can’t even agree on a way. You did great! Keep up the awesome job
    12
  2542. Thanks for the autopsy! I had no idea how an automotive compressor worked nor had I ever heard of "Black Death" in a AC system. This is what makes this channel so interesting. Keep 'em coming Ray!
    12
  2543. That “helical crankshaft” is called a “swashplate”. Some pumps use a swashplate where its diagonal pitch can be varied to make a variable displacement pump.

  2545. The boneyard….every time I am in one I always walk out with the feeling that I made and incomplete hunt.
    12
  2546.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  Yep get better. I enjoy your vids.
    12
  2547. Snack time Rays … I’m gonna have a coffee anyway, tradition😎
    12
  2548. Thanks Ray! Your videos inspired me to finally install my new intercooler on my GTI. I got it a month ago, but was worried about "what if" I screw something up....but it went fine. It would have been easy, if it weren't for clip on bumpers that don't want to un-clip, and electrical connectors that don't slide apart, even though that's their only job!
    12
  2549. You must be a Reddit viewer. (The office “Karen” walks through in the background. Karen — Louis. Rain man — Reeee. Observant viewers — laughing
    12
  2550. You’re killing me with all this randomness
    12
  2551.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  Ray But think of all the freedom you have now- you get to work on both Saturdays and Sundays plus the freedom of always being behind although you work 80+ hours a week plus the freedom to enjoy your kids Christmas play at school the Friday night football games etc All that Freedom yea I say all of this tongue in cheek as you will unfortunately be less free on the most valuable item we have Time I know you are spending like one comment said a drunken sailor which is necessary given the situation and it's all good money to spend as it will make your jobs easier and quicker and will by back some of the time spent dumping oils etc in closing since you are the Boss buy some time out of you schedule for your lovely wife and those great kids Don't put a single paying job in front of them They will always need you and you need them just as much to be a man later and Have a Great Day
    12
  2552. It's so fun hearing him say, "It's just blue water"! Up here in Canada, if you don't use washer fluid that has antifreeze compounds added, the tank and lines will burst as it freezes! Listening to Ray work on this van brings back memories of working on the old family car we had with my uncle. It was an '03 Impala that used the 3.4L V6, so almost exactly like this engine bay, and so many of these problems were nearly word for word what we used to grumble go ourselves!
    12
  2553. I can't believe you used an impact driver to do up the sump plug! Those poor people working in the scrapyard won't be able to easily take it apart now😔 😉
    12
  2554.  @shakerman55  then I wouldn't want them as a customer anymore anyway 🤷. Most of us logical people understand that it's our problem if we end up not liking or there's a problem with the parts that we provided. I brought Ray my own brakes and other parts (there are videos) and if they don't perform as I expect I would have to pay him again to change it. Can't expect any shop to warranty any defect in parts you supply that should be common sense. Could only expect them to warranty their work
    12
  2555.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  well said, Ray!! PS I’d be right beside you defending their right to display it whether I believe in it or not.
    12
  2556.  @mailborder  You're just looking for excuses. "Chinesium" refers to things made extremely cheaply in China, not to Chinese people. A world of difference. And if the cheap parts were from Mexico, I'm comfortable with Mexicobtainium.
    12
  2557. I had a problem with epoxy, and found that when mixing it on cardboard packaging, it dragged some sort of wax coating off the surface, and the damn glue wouldn't stick properly. Mixing it on a bit of clean scrap sheetmetal stopped that happening. For what it's worth.
    12
  2558. Made me spit out my coffee dude..."going to pack this crack" LOL!!
    12
  2559. I hope the grace of God blesses you with good fortune in your future.
    12
  2560. Sorry to hear about your situation. Just remember when God asks us to sell everything, he is making room for a bigger gift:)
    12
  2561. Had this issue on my Aunt's Audi. Couldn't find the problem until I cleared the code and took it for a drive, code would come back as soon as I used the brakes!
    12
  2562. Really enjoy these videos man. I am currently going to Universal Technical Institute to be a Automotive Technician, and I'm happy to see that you are doing the things we are being taught. I'm glad I can watch these videos and learn more about how being a technician actually works
    12
  2563. Me too. I was yelling "Use the right tool".
    11
  2564. In 38 years of being an ASE certified Master Tech, I've never seen a lower gear that didn't have a key. But if that's the way they retain that, it's great because you can infinitely adjust the timing , but what a shitt design. Anyhoo, It's not that bad, you didn't run the motor, you just turned it by hand to bend the valves. That means there's only four valves that could have possibly bent in two cylinders.( all depends on where the cams were positioned when he spun it) Because it didn't run, there's minimal damage to the Pistons, my bet is there is none. Pull the head, replace the vent valves, new head gasket, and send it. My buddy had a Kia Soul, I was driving down I-95 when the timing belt snapped, bent like six or eight valves,( this thing was doing 75 mile an hour when the belt broke) got it towed to my house. I pulled the head off, pulled the valves out of the head that were bent, straighten them myself(!), lapped them in, put a head gasket kit in it, and sent it. That car is still driving down the road today. And I did it in one afternoon, with no air tools. Suck it up buttercup. $400 plus gaskets, for another motor, how about $20 a valve, I think you said you only bent one, so you only need one, and, that take 15 minutes to put in the head, and a gasket set, about $135. Seems like you made a lot more trouble than you needed to, even after the timing chain fuk up. I mean it's a 4-cylinder cylinder head. I could do two of these in an afternoon at my shop. I put Main and rod bearings in, in an afternoon. You just went way the hard way I guess.
    11
  2565. What a stupid concept.
    11
  2566. That engine is made by Chery, its a dohc, they also have a 812cc 3cyl and 1100cc 4 cyl that is exactly the same just more cylinders. the 3 is in a ton of powersport and farming equipment and actually pretty reliable if taken care of. Don't know anything of the car brand it is in though.
    11
  2567. "Banks Power" The only parts cannon worth firing.
    11
  2568.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  its his first day 😉
    11
  2569. I dont know why haters got to hate , if you don't want to buy Amsiol then don't ,but nobody cares Ray is offering a way to buy Amsiol if you want .....good video Ray I always wait for them to drop
    11
  2570. Notification squad assemble!
    11
  2571. You can now tell people "I spent a month of my life with a Jaguar" 😉
    11
  2572. I would've probably followed them... but you're a good person Ray. I professionally race on closed courses and seeing that makes me sick. Hurts all of us.
    11
  2573. Awesome video Ray!!! I am a new viewer on the channel so welcome me in
    11
  2574. Congratulations RainMan Ray!🎉🎉🎉
    11
  2575.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  There are thousands of trucks running with delete kits already because of the added cost of pig pee.
    11
  2576. I'm having a psychic moment.... I foresee new seals coming.
    11
  2577. LOLOLOL, that's funny just an MP-5 chilling in the back floorboard.
    11
  2578. Being an avid (non mechanic) quad rider, doing 4 or 5 100 hour services per riding season, I find that it is NEVER easy to service. I don't think being nearly 70 years old, post back surgery, helps😳. I have to add, Ray, because of your instructional videos (the principles are basically the same as "das auto", I now tackle these services rather than pay SEVERAL HUNDRED dollars per service. About the yellow torque stick being acquired while in high school... I was looking at retiring at that time🤣🤣. Thanks Ray for allowing me to see that I am ont the only one that struggles with the ATV service😉. Bob, Nevada👍👍
    11
  2579. I would rather just replace the 1 coil with an OEM than buy 6 aftermarket garbage coils personally.
    11
  2580.  @electronicengineer  Also can't forget South Main Auto tho...
    11
  2581.  @beauthestdane  As did I. Look for a small allen screw.
    11
  2582. Happy midnight from Hawaii
    11
  2583. Return of the floor protectors.... Life is good again. :face-blue-smiling:
    11
  2584. Engineers don’t get paid on ease-of-repair. :(
    11
  2585. Most autos are designed for quick and easy assembly on the assembly line. They want quick build and to hell with service after the sale. More units for sale means more $$$$. To hell with the repairs, don't repair buy new!
    11
  2586. door of death is installed backwards. it opens the wrong way, easy to pop hinges and get inside....
    11
  2587. The tower thingy is really just them setting up the speakers for the first purge!
    11
  2588. So what you're sayin is you're giving Ray just the tip?
    11
  2589. ​ @RainmanRaysRepairs upgrade the oil filter to the metal one on the new engine
    11
  2590. Nice collaboration breatherens
    11
  2591. Glad to see Wife Unit Lauren willing to learn and help you out Ray. Also love how she always laughs at you when you get into a predicament, like with that wasp, lol. Anyway, the new bumper looks great. Have never really been a fan of chrome on cars. I like them blacked out.
    11
  2592. We'll be happy to keep an eye on the gauge, but you'll probably have to take the average of 1400 different readings.
    11
  2593. Ah. It's a good morning when a Rainman video comes to my feed!
    11
  2594. Guessing first delivery to the shop....1000 cans of BRAKE SPRAY.....Possibly
    11
  2595. Forgot to congratulate you on your new venture! Good luck! I’m looking forward to your first “customer refuses to pay” story! It’s bound to happen!
    11
  2596. A repair without the need for a pry bar of any size makes for a good day.
    11
  2597.  @P_RO_  How you’re describing Ray should of repaired this car in the above post is how YOU in YOUR GARAGE should have done it. Keep in mind Ray isn’t working on HIS car for a YouTube restoration project, he’s working at a repair shop on a car a customer brought to him to get running right. There is a very big difference there, TIME. Time is money, try selling extra time to a customer, good luck with that. You can tell the customer “I can repair your car and it will work fine for $100 an hour and will take 1 hour or I can make it as pretty as I can and take 3 hours installing the same parts, so… $200 EXTRA dollars. Most customers would take option 1 at a shop like Ray’s. You want option 2 you take your car to one of those fancy “Bill’s Hot Rod Restoration” shops that’s also filming a TV show for the Discovery Channel. There they’ll SOMETIMES repair your car as you described in your above post. At places like where Ray works you’ll be LUCKY if they’ll take as much care as Ray did fixing your car. You can go back and point out scratches all over your engine parts and the response you’ll get is “what… it still works!” and like a typical paIe person you’ll SUE SUE SUE LAWSUIT LAWYER SUE COURT! Yeah.. you’ll hire a lawyer, pay all the court fee’s etc. to MAYBE break even on your scratched car parts that’s scratched under the hood where a female judge will say “you can’t even see it with the hood closed”. You want “fixed” you go to a shop like Ray’s, you want better than fixed, you go to an expensive hot rod restoration shop that charges a crazy amount more, you want it done “right and perfect” you do it yourself.
    11
  2598. long, short, or medium it's all fine! keep them coming Ray
    11
  2599. “It’s cold it’s like 60 degrees” 💀
    11
  2600. One shot of grease per year per grease nipple on motors that size…I have had to change way too many motors because of over filled with grease. The windings get filled with grease cause them not to cool and then heat up setting the grease on fire and or burning the windings out. Baldor Motors recommends 2.5 pumps every 12000 hours of use…(8760hrs in a year)for smaller 1800rpm motors. Lets do some quick Math. Shop is open 10 hours a day 7 days a week. (10/24 x 8760=3650 hours/yr) As you can see the air compressor doesn’t run constantly so by guessing on how busy Ray’s shop is I would say each air compressor runs 33% of the time…1/3 of 3650 is approximately 1200 hours per year of actual run time per year. So with these compressor of Ray please feel free to grease 2.5 shots every 10 years following manufactures guidelines….Like a say I personally recommend a maximum of one shot per year and please write on motor when you greased motor. It is very easy to over grease electric motors.
    11
  2601. Best thing I use was weed eater line and I did my doors also bottom holes behind the rubber door seal
    11
  2602. Did you try "turning it off then on again "? Lol 😆
    11
  2603. Gotta love that oh sh*t handle comment
    11
  2604. you got lots done dude,, you got educated on being a business owner and a small taste of the stresses it comes with.. everything will get sorted out eventually though and thats when you crack a beer and enjoy the victory.
    11
  2605. Remember when you could sit on the inner fender to work on your truck? Pepperidge Farm does.
    11
  2606. Just wanted to take some time to say, Thank you! Your content is a great break from the ordinary Mech channel. Your personality reminds me of a guy I worked with years ago. Thanks for being you and keep it up it is what got your here and it will take you so much further!!! Thanks again Ray!
    11
  2607. REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE inserted ..... GREAT video series I enjoyed every minute.....especially the "DANGER ZONE " portion.
    11
  2608.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  Andrew is obviously a master Machanic, and totally understand customers! And knows they will completely agree to replacing everything instead of just the faulty part!
    11
  2609. Hey there. I hope this can help towards your next diag. I work at toyota and when you drive from outside (in the sunlight) to inside of the shop (no sunlight) the solar sensors will always trip a code. When it comes to diag the only time we check solar sensors is when that is the only code on the list. If theres others, dont bother looking at the solar sensor codes as its because the car is no longer detecting sunlight when driven into the shop
    11
  2610. Corey, there are only 2 rules in life/garage/marriage etc. #1 don't sweat the small stuff and #2 it's All small stuff. Sorry for all the cliché quotes . My dad always said " just relax, it'll come out in the wash" and my saying since my emergency lung surgery in 2013 is " step back, look at life , if you are still breathing it's all going to be okay"
    11
  2611. Will the catalytic converter survive that much unburned fuel?
    11
  2612. New hazzard switches aren't unobtainable? You can get them from any aircooled vw supplier?
    11
  2613. Ray , stay safe and thank you for making the time to vote on our actual election day .
    11
  2614. I bought some of those radiator hose clamp pliers. Those things work wonders. Makes it so much easier 👍👍
    11
  2615. Just wanted to let you know, that watching your videos has given me enough courage to install my own power tailgate in my car. And yes I’m a girl 😉
    11
  2616. I get 2-3 of these a week minimum. From the very beginning, I've been reporting them. But Youtube doesn't seem to care enough to do anything about them (heck if they generate revenue Youtube will encourage them).
    11
  2617. I'm reading a book on the history of lubrication, it's non-friction.
    11
  2618. Hope you have a great time at SEMA. Enjoy.
    11
  2619. Seeing as when you reconnected the plug it was like a double click to fully seat it home then its possible the person who fitted it originally thought it was connected on the first click. Going by the prices of some OEM parts its understandable why people do go for the cheaper option but as we know , cheaper doesn't always mean better
    11
  2620. Kind of refreshing to see you vent a bit. You'll be back to your positive self in no time!
    11
  2621. Just started watching last month trying to catch up. Commend the cool cucumber approach to every situation and the advanced knowledge on every situation. Can't stop watching. Good work sir
    11
  2622. you are the one that we thank you alot and from all our heart for recording your daily work ,,, making us happy and laugh in these days .... swear to God you are amazing ,, keep going Rai you are the best bro . all my best and regard
    11
  2623. After watching several YouTube auto repair channels I've realized that most all the techs carry knives to open boxes. My question is if my man card is in jeopardy if I don't carry a knife? I usually use whatever is handy; scissors, case cutters, screwdriver and sometimes I punch the box to break the tape.
    11
  2624. 2 things. 1 You think no one likes long videos. But when you make 2 or 3 part videos alot of us watch all of them back to back. 2 Using Eric O's brake Klean thing is ok. He started with the Do de do's
    11
  2625. Way to go mate. Looking forward to many more vids.
    11
  2626. Great news. That's definitely the way forward. Best of Luck with it.

  2629. Ray every time I watch a video I push like I don’t think I have ever push dislike so anybody out there reading this comment if you’re going to watch this video just hit like what is the issue just push the button, even if you got a broken finger use your other hand you have 10 fingers and 10 toes there’s someway somehow you can push the like button I promise you it works every time ha ha ha ha ha ha love you my brothers and sisters take care on with the video.😂😂😂😂😂😂 ✝️✝️✝️🇺🇸
    11
  2630. Your in for a real good treat and although some of his thoughts are relatively hard to swallow it's a good thing to have him on your side
    11
  2631. New meaning to vented rotors!! 🤣
    11
  2632. When replacing a battery, I have a rule. Minimum 2CCA per cubic inch. And unfortunately batteries don't last much more than 5-6 years. Ray, if I ever make it to Florida, I would love to meet you in person. Your honesty and hard work is the antithesis to all of the bad Mechanics out there. Thanks for being you. Have a great day, Sir! And God Bless. o7

    11
  2635. Which next part will come first, part 3 of the leaky Jaguar sun roof or the part 2 of the Expedition rebuild?
    11
  2636. Good faith move like this is how you retain customers and you get the reputation of being a fair and honest service agent. Nice work.
    11
  2637. Opened the cnc shop @ 4am central freedom time. Glad to have quality entertainment while waiting on lazy children to show up to slam doors and jam buttons. And my personal favorite, the mandatory maintenance due to "operator" error. Keep'em coming Mr Rainman Ray.
    11
  2638. Reeeee....one valve cover gasket is orange and one is blue.... it'll never run properly 😂😂😂
    11
  2639. My day is not complete, unless I watch a video by the Rainman himself. And yes a 3 ton will do, unless you’re planning to balance the whole truck. Lol
    11
  2640. sometimes even "watching painted grass dry" can be very therapeutic. Thanks for the video Ray. Nice work
    11
  2641. Been waiting all morning for this. Happy Thanksgiving Ray and Wife Unit 🦃
    11
  2642. yeah, but if you did make this an hour long video, we'd all still watch it in its entirety. Your videos are just that awesome!
    11
  2643. Ray, greetings from Sweden! I found you maybe 6 months ago and I absolutely love every minute of your videos. I have suggestions so I really hope you get to see this. To grow your channel, I think finding other youtubers to collaborate with could work wonders for you. Try to find someone who's profession or youtube channel has nothing to do with cars, have them come over and try to be a mechanic for a day. And go to their channel and try to do whatever they do. This way you will not steal each others viewers (if you had collaborated with another mechanic and one of you is just better or more funny or whatever). Another suggestion would be to do more of in depth tutorials where you explain and teach things in details. You have a very nice voice and pleasant and funny mannerisms. I think the revenue from youtube can be much more valuable than the repair shop. I really love how your recent videos from your new shop is much longer and more in depth, and you should keep pushing this even more. Use your shop to grow the channel is what I am saying, not the other way around :) (but maybe that is already what you are trying to do) Lastly, I am eagerly waiting for your next live stream announcement. That was funny as hell!

  2644.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  I was lucky, I had that...my dad. He was mechanic for the military and an automotive shop teacher for a high school.
    11
  2645. I'm kinda shocked, they didn't total it out, I've seen insurance companies do crazy stuff. VERY GOOD SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM, GREAT JOB RAY!!!!!!.
    11
  2646. Ray buddy it's awesome to see you back to work and things are getting back to normal i really enjoy all your video's stay safe and godbless buddy
    11
  2647. Fun video, I jusst hope no IRS employees were paying attention when you mentioned how it came to be that you had the opportunity to play with this great toy.
    11
  2648. "Gottah lube the nuts to get the shaft to come out of the hole..." Now just imagine saying that in front of 2 dozen 16 year olds back in tech school! 🤣🤣🤣 God only knows how we managed to learn anything back then...
    11
  2649. It is a law in Florida that if you work on a Volkswagen you have to speak with a bad German accent . Look it up .
    11
  2650. Honestly didn’t see anything needing fixing, everything was up to German standards lol
    11
  2651. As canuck viewer.... your welcome. We get hot stinking Florida-like weather in our neck of the woods in summer. So, this is our way of saying thank you by sharing some of our "froze my Rastafarian ninnies off" cold. Your welcome. 🤣
    11
  2652. Your like my good morning America I wait for your upload every morning lol. Thanks for the hard effort to get clips and edits uploaded.
    11
  2653. Well said Ray! 🫡
    11
  2654. I have only recently discovered your videos Ray. I am enjoying them thoroughly. From what I have seen you will no doubt land on your feet, and more than likley prosper. I went through a similar experience a few years back after 20+ years with one organization. I am so much happier in my current situation. I am confident that you will also be happier when the dust settles. Looking forward to your future videos. Keep up the good work.
    11
  2655. I like the video at the start because it's always a good video with ray. 😀
    11
  2656. Just wanted to say....... You're wrong (just trying to help.) If you don't respond to this within 15 minutes, I'm calling the manager four times
    11
  2657. Wow you had me with the angry pliers. As a tech i was having an anxiety attack. You got me sir, well played
    11
  2658.  @samishiikihaku  so true, I have bought a case in weeks
    11
  2659. I like the fact that you actually record what you are doing and not like other people that talk about what they are doing and not actually showing.
    11
  2660. That thing was a bio hazard!!!! Yeah no oil make things go breaky break. That battery cable looked horrible too, so it is broken
    11
  2661. Your angry pliers are a common plumber and pipe fitter tool in Germany. At least were when I lived there. I have a pair that's probably close to 40 years old.
    11
  2662. I too, have used $500 in tools to install second hand shocks on my truck.
    11
  2663. You can't never have enough tools
    11
  2664. I'm glad I wasn't the only one that laughed at "stroke sensor"
    11
  2665. Ray you always do good work! We all know you weren't demoted, just once in a while you have to do fill in work! We've all been there.
    11
  2666. I guess you're torque wrench guy all over again.
    11
  2667. I sometimes watch your videos on my tv which is great because of size, clarity and sound. Started to watch this one and my wife came in, saw the opening credits and asked if this was a scifi film😁 thumbs up to your production team 👍👍👍
    11
  2668. Not sure what to think about the robot welder. It's really cool, but it takes the skill away from the people who actually know how to weld. But it's beautiful...
    11
  2669. G’day Ray. Bet you never thought that watching your videos would come in handy for a chicken processing plant in Australia. Turns out the forked trim tool I’ve seen you use many times, including this video, was exactly what I needed to remove plastic pins that connect plastic product holders to a moving chain line. Removing about 4000 of these pins is normally very time consuming, using this tool it reduced the time it took by over 3 hours. You’re helping people in fields of work you never dreamed of. Love your work.
    11
  2670. Hell yeah Ray we're proud of you
    11
  2671. Did you make your assistant clean up all the spark fluid you spilled?
    11
  2672. And now a word from our sponsors: FLEXSEAL !!
    11
  2673. I'm a home mechanic chick who loves her Subarus, but I swear there's no such thing as an easy job in the engine bay.
    11
  2674. The reason the slide pin bolts came out easily. Is because of the blue Lock Tite on them. For those that don't know Lock Tite is liquid Teflon. God bless
    11
  2675. Just priming the spark plug. Nothing to see here fellas. 😊
    11
  2676. Thats pretty much the go to. Maybe he used all the zip its on the toyota wire connectors and coil plugs
    11
  2677. FINALLY!!!! I have been waiting for the front end project on the Silveryrado! Please don't ever change or reduce your commentary... it's how dummies like me learn. I am very relieved to see some love and maintenance on the truck. But you did make one fatal mistake... YOU CROSSED THE STREAMS OF THE BRAKE CLEAN... you NEVER cross the streams lol. Thank you Ray for another educational and awesome video.🙏💜
    11
  2678. Glad your over the hump, good to see your at least well enough to post some stuff and not completely bed bound. Dude keep on getting better, can't wait for you to be back at 100%. Until then peace and take care! :)
    11
  2679. Rainman Ray's Repairs.. Awesome video on the mustang. However I can help but notice the walls and the overall look of the shop looking so much better than it did. Nice work getting it to where it is now. I'm sure it was a lot of work. Well deserved brother.
    11
  2680. Good morning Ray, let's see what you have for us today BROTHER 😀
    11
  2681. I like the fact you yelled at the belt, and it stopped whining 😆
    11
  2682.  @ReeceSpencer  I agree to an extent. It is certainly a political jab at certain people rather than patriots or Americans as a whole. It is also more of a misdirection tactic, but to the wise thinker it can promote some critical thinking. As I’ve said before, patriotism and racism have nothing to do with each other. ...at least not within the healthy thinking mind. Reece Spencer, your comments were well stated. Thank you for chiming in. Exactly the kind of positive and wise outlook our society (any society) needs.
    11
  2683. watching new antifreeze and oil being poured is so satisfying, thanks Ray :)
    11
  2684. Hey Ray, love your channel Love your work. Love everything about it and can't wait for every video that comes out. I just wanted to make a comment about engineering choices. Problem is that the bean counters and the marketing dudes make the engineer's life miserable. The bean counters tell you whatever you do make it as cheap as possible which means make the wiring shorter, and the marketing dudes come in and say oh but we need to hide all those wires we don't want any weird clips on top of stuff so it looks bad. So the engineering guy goes screaming back to his office and says well the only way I can do this is clip it on the back and and make the wire as short as possible. Truthfully I have never worked in the automotive industry, but I have been an engineer in the electronics industry for over 40 years. And when the bean counters and the marketing people tell you crap, you got to pick your battles. So you lose some and then you wait to get enough ammunition to fire back on the big ones. That's the only thing I got to say about comments about engineers on all these automotive channels is there always blaming the engineer. I'm just saying you got to remember that it's not always the engineers fault, sometimes but not always. Generally it goes in the order of Bean counters first, followed by marketing, and then engineers last.
    11
  2685. It's places and people like that, that give us "Real" mechanics a bad reputation and have customers questioning us. Thanks Ray for the honesty and integrity that you show. As a master myself you give me hope for future mechanics and technicians seeing your videos.
    11
  2686. Man what a moving story of resilience. Broke my heart but also lifted it.
    11
  2687. Greetings from South Africa, Damn Ray, if you you or Rich are ever on this side of the world.............first and last round are on me(and all in-between 😁). people like you two should be honored more as the inspirations that you guys are. Thank you.🙏
    11
  2688. I appreciate you going above and beyond I’m a disabled mechanic and it kills me to watch tech’s just do what they are told and not do a proper diagnosis.
    11
  2689. Thinking it'd be money well spent to trailer a car to Florida for you to work on and then have it trailered back home. Well done as always! It's a pleasure to watch ethical effort at work!
    11
  2690. bro thats some genius shit tow truck to lift thats true skill
    11
  2691.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  The dad can get a 2nd opinion from the tow truck driver when she can't start the car.
    10
  2692. I often wonder how mechanics manage to look like they actually just crawled out of the ash-pan of a steam locomotive and still not get the inside of my car dirty. It's allmost asif they know what they are doing :-)
    10
  2693. "you guys see it anywhere" yeah it's right there. Glad I could help 👍
    10
  2694. Good job, Ray! Go to Northern Tool or Harbor Freight and get a pack of white cotton knit gloves. Wear them under XL Nitrile gloves when working on hot stuff. Your fingers will thank you.
    10
  2695. Was this engine the 2.5 liter, that’s what I have in my 2016 Escape, good motor for the 70k I’ve owned it so far, regular oil changes of full synthetic and motor craft oil filters and she’s a happy camper. Nice videos and detail! 🤙🏼
    10
  2696. $10,000 for a new engine. $5,000 for Labor. $15,000 Dealership Fee
    10
  2697. hey Ray! In all of your videos, I don't recall you ever topping up the blinker fluid during a service. Is that an extra cost? Or just so day-to-day you don't record it?
    10
  2698. Hey Ray! always fun to watch your videos. Especially your diagnosis cases. I must say that I am very impressed with your knowledge. Don't understand how you can remember how to do it. may have to do with the fact that you have worked in the industry for a long time. Very fitting that you are called Rainman Ray😀 //Stefan, Sweden
    10
  2699. Dude! This is the first episode without you repeating the Phone!!!! I miss that bro 👍🏻👌🏻
    10
  2700. Thank You Ray for deciding to do the video on old reliable. First I Love the upgrades second I Love starting my day with coffee and Ray. Now You have a good day😀😀
    10
  2701. It's a beautiful morning in the great state of Texas. Always a great job Ray, it's a real pleasure seeing your awsome work!
    10
  2702. On today's episode, there are now 50 very happy people who have got a nice discount on their new Banks goodness.
    10
  2703. What an episode is 👍. You two work great together. Also the humor involved. With the three of you together what a team. The Three Musketeers repair garage. Sounds good Ray what a set up this could be. The 3 Amegoes . Team work that's the key. Great episode to watch .
    10
  2704. Dude, I love the consistency. Usually seems like 2 uploads a day and just now I was excited when you posted. I couldn’t find anything to watch and boom new video!
    10
  2705. ​@RainmanRaysRepairs Future proof the install. Use zero or double zero gauge cables. Also upgrade the main grounding cables as well. On my old mid-70s Ford LTD wagons, I ran with double zero gauge power and ground cables. The original equipment ones were 8 gauge. Makes a huge difference to the starter as well.
    10
  2706. @Rainman Ray's Repairs Ray I'm loving all your videos you do I have watched all your videos so far I look forward to new ones coming out also love your sense of humour brilliant you certainly know your stuff on the cars you do nice one Ray 👍
    10
  2707. If you haven't done so already. Take the bolt out of steering shaft separate shaft. Go through front of truck and use and extension and remove the bolt. That's how the front diff comes out
    10
  2708. Hey Ray. Hope the families doing well.
    10
  2709. LOL very Ray, of RAY.
    10
  2710. Figures it’s a Mustang driver. Internet is loaded with videos of them crashing their rides while showing off.
    10
  2711. Alhamdulilah im glad everything is okkk and the building is standing ❤❤❤❤
    10
  2712. Missing you Ray, recover quickly!
    10
  2713. I was starting to get worried, two mornings in a row with no videos.
    10
  2714. Same. Random recommendation, and I'm hooked
    10
  2715. Plays in nicely with the insanity comment
    10
  2716. Now we know why the bolts were left loose on the caliber bracket! Yikes, some serious executive thinking going on there. BTW Ray, if you don't stop sticking your phalanges into the fan and belt area you'll have to rename your channel Three Fingers Freddie Repairs.
    10
  2717. You can't quit! How am I gonna learn how to do all the things the right way?! "What things?" All the things you haven't shown us yet, what if you get another Mercedes in? I might learn something! Seriously dude, these people need to get a grip. If it can't run why drain the tank? If it's not worth repainting why mask it up? We know, some of these people seem to engage their flappy bit before the thinking bit.

When you have trolls, hire billy goats. - edit: your typical bully attacks those who they see as weak in reaction to things they feel they can't control in their own life, be it someone bullying them who they see as too strong to resist, or a grumpy boss, or an unfulfilling job, or self-loathing of some type.

  2722. thankyou Ray,looking forward to these projects you,ve got stored up,, have a wonderful family xmas and new year,,👍👍👌 and to all the dedicated commenters/subscribers who in my opinion there inputs are a wealth of knowledge merry xmas and thankyou too,🙏🙏
    10
  2723. I love how he referred to the rust as Patina. Here in N.E. Ohio our Patina can be chunky as well.
    10
  2724. You might need to take a play out of Wes's book and get yourself a crappy old ATV (or even a garden tractor) to tow things that won't run into the bay. It really helps reduce the "I'm alone today" aspect when you're stuck with something that won't run.
    10
  2725. Two of my favorite YouTube channels teaming up to help a family in need? You guys are full of win! 👍
    10
  2726. Ray-loved the video. I always thought mechanics just simply replaced defective parts but your skills are on a whole other level ! Well done !
    10
  2727. THIS is a textbook example of what happens to this specific engine when you extend oil changes out past 5k miles on a regular basis...
    10
  2728. I would throw that jump box into the next dimension
    10
  2729. 20:51 screwdriver sticks the landing, awesome 😎
    10
  2730. As soon as you began putting in the condenser you said, "Should be pretty easy." and I'm sure I wasn't the only one that said, "NOOOOO Ray, never say something like that."

  2732. Good morning, Ray. Nice, an early upload today. That actuator sounds like there is a Predator inside the dash.
    10
  2733. It's cute when someone from a warm place calls a 60F, 15°C start "cold" 🤣.
    10
  2734. Sounds like a good country song in the works.
    10
  2735. you Ray have the honesty and the ability all you need is a place to continue.....traits that are hard to find in a real mechanic nowdays!..good luck on your journey
    10
  2736. 21:50 and onwards. Rant away, my friend! Back when I did both service writer and technician work, I had someone say, "Well, you're the mechanic, you figure it out!" indignantly. I then told her I can, and will, figure it out. But the more info she gave me up front will save her time and money. To her credit, she actually gave a thoughtful look, and gave me more info than she initially gave about her issue. Cost her a lot less to diag than it would have, and she became a regular. More info is good info, folks! It helps both of us.
    10
  2737.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  You're doing the Lord's work...
    10
  2738.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  Hey Ray, you forgot to yeet a perfectly good part across the shop into a garbage bin. 😁 Do you think you could hit @I_Do_Cars shop from there?
    10
  2739. Hi Ray, thank you for the informative videos.
    10
  2740. Troy needs to stop being so camera shy. I would love to work with you shit that's a blessing in disguise. We love you Troy! We love you to Ray don't worry he can't replace you no matter how good he is LOL. OGs are always going to be the best.
    10
  2741. Pumps don't usually fail as often as calipers do. I would've replaced the calipers too.
    10
  2742. Great job and good advice on getting a any vehicle checked out b4 buying.
    10
  2743. Even though I haven't a clue about car engines I love watching this channel. Thanks for keeping me entertained Ray.. Big fan from Ireland 🇮🇪
    10
  2744. At the 9:45 mark on the video, when you were looking at the folds in the oil filter, the third hand that comes into shot ? Scared the crap out of me !! I totally wasn’t expecting anyone else to be there. Ray has a third arm ! 😂🤣
    10
  2745. Ok-- who pissed in Andrew's morning bowl of Cheerios? No one is this bitchy and whiny w/o cause.
    10
  2746. Watched that one yesterday, then I'm seeing this and thinking to myself "Those ignition coils look awfully familiar", then I realized this is the car you gave your wife to learn some more basic wrenching. I tell ya man, this is how all the big custom shops started out :) Keep it spinning man, love the videos from both of you.
    10
  2747. Actually they are paying him to fix their vehicle, which he did.

    10
  2750. 666, like age, ain't nothin but a number my friend. Good luck and looking forward to watching you grow your shop. As they say, you can't make money working for someone else, just like they say "the buck stops here." Welcome to the end of the buck line, and I speak from experience. Being good at what you do makes it A LOT easier, for sure.
    10
  2751. In aviation, we only called it a come-back if it was for the same thing. I like do-more better!

  2752. Have a merry Christmas to you and family and friends and happy new year to you and your family and friends. I love your video Ray's auto video
    10
  2753. The first maintenance I ever performed on my silverado was the rear diff fluid change after watching Ray do it first. He gave me the knowledge and courage to do it myself. so satisfying. thanks Ray
    10
  2754. Ray, I totally agree that you have the best commentary around. I'm a 70 year old woman 👀 a mechanic working on cars and loving it. 😊♥️
    10
  2755. Ive watched you for a while now and you have explained on how to do so many brake jobs that it has given me the confidence to do my own brakes.  I even made sure to burnish them in so the pads mate to the rotor surface beautifully.  I just wanted to give you some praise. You have come a long way on your shop and I love watching your videos. You have just the right balance of humour and business sense. You are awesome and I am glad that you are doling out the free knowledge. I love it when the kids are around and you use the X-Files sound. Love that Lauren is making her mandatory appearances.  You, sir have a great day and know that you are doing some good in the world.
    10
  2756. People forget that these videos involve real work done at a real repair shop, not a hobby. Which means there are real customers, paying their hard earned money to fix their car, not to offer us entertainment. We can't expect them to pay extra so that we can see this or that.
    10
  2757. Great to see you working again and especially in your own new shop!
    10
  2758. Really Ilike the black and white animated intro..very professional
    10
  2759. At least the head on that cross pin bolt didn’t break off, had that happen on my Grand National and made for quite the interesting wheel bearing job! Who would have guessed replacing your wheel bearings & axel seals could be so much fun?!
    10
  2760. Happy Sunday Ray and Arron. Awesome to get a video about your visit. 😀
    10
  2761. A time-lapse cleaning video would do really good with views
    10
  2762. Huh? A Fjord 3 valve with cam phaser faults? No way!
    10
  2763. We're lucky enough to have an OTC HubTamer at work, most of the time it works most of the time. As for the race, I'll echo the slit and crack method but also raise that just a little heat will let you chase it off with a hammer and drift or a chisel with an angled end. If you can't get a bite on it put a cut in it to give you a ledge in a couple places and get a stronger air hammer, that lil pecker isn't good for much. Please be careful stacking things on the press, something will shoot out and hurt someone or damage something.
    10
  2764. Ray..... If your worried about people hating on you for the coolant you use.....just do some welding in the video. No one will mention the coolant 😂
    10
  2765. Ray, watch your videos all the time. I like the auto repairs, but I have to say these are entertaining to. Not everyone would go out in the middle of that! Thanks for all you do!
    10
  2766. I'm sure I'm not the only one to want to see the Subaru come back to life
    10
  2767. I have no idea why i get so excited when i see grease fittings on replacement parts. I still remember the first time I found out we have “sealed” ones….and the stuff dont need greased anymore. And i went off about how completely stupid that was and how they will all fail and that whole idea will never work.
    10
  2768. Mate!!! 70k subs already! Feels like only 2 weeks a go I was verbally patting you on the back for hitting 50k. Don't think you have to worry about getting your content formula right. Reckon you've nailed it my friend. ;)
    10
  2769. Excellent work! I really appreciate how you take the time to describe and show everything you're doing. I've learned a lot from your videos! Thanks.
    10
  2770. Watching Ray struggle and renovating is favorite content lately
    10
  2771. Ray, you should do a "Clear flood mode" on the engine before starting it for real to prime the system with oil after such an overhaul. Either with the gas pedal to the floor, or for the models that don't support that, pulling the ECM fuse so the engine can't start. Crank over for at least 60 seconds. Let the starter rest to cool, then prime with fuel and start. As for always using OEM parts setting off the comments section, it might be good to mention that OEM's use multiple suppliers that make parts for them under the Motorcraft etc. brand names so even though you can have all sorts of parts stamped "Motorcraft" they can actually be from multiple different suppliers. OE's do this all the time, so it's quite possible the brand of Phasers you are using are in-fact a supplier to Ford under the Motorcraft name usually along with selling their own house brand of the exact same part.
    10
  2772. Love this series - something a bit different. I don't remember another entire drivetrain out one. Also kudos for leaving the trans unit slip in - sh*t happens and you dont attempt to sugar coat things - but instead show how to recover the situation in a calm way. Cant wait for part 3 !
    10
  2773. It shows how abnormal YouTube actually is …people speak in the real world using real language
    10
  2774. kinda in the same boat. i do the brakes (pads/rotors) on my car and after watching rays vids feel confident enough to fix the leaking valve cover gaskets too. my back is the main thing holding me back from doing more mechanical work, just 30 seconds stuck in the wrong position can literally ruin my whole day. hopefully i can find a mechanic like ray to do the jobs that would otherwise be a pain in the back for me.
    10
  2775. Awesome!!! Good catch
    10
  2776. 🤣🤣

  2777. It's an older warning indicator but it checks out. I was about to clear it.

  2778. When he is looking at the steering wheel he says wheels back on and torqued down. Start at 20 mins and watch until 23 mins
    10
  2779.  @canadiantrucker9574  They work through rotational flexing. The torque stick will slightly twist when the rating designated on the stick itself is achieved and this resistance will generally stop a 1/2'' impact from over tightening a fastener with proper use. You can feel it and it feels like it bounces back and the bolt/lugnut no longer keeps turning. The ratings are often followed by thickness. Thicker the torque stick, the higher the ft/lbs, or whatever measurement is used for the torque rating. Most colors are the same for the measurements but sometimes can vary. They are pretty simple and most of the time, perfectly safe. Regardless, any good tech will/should always double check and make sure everything is properly torqued before it leaves the shop or their bay.

  2780.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  aww man. I'm sorry to hear about your pup.

  2781. You're so lucky and fortunate having Lauren in your life, she's a rare find. Being a recent widower, you don't want being single these days and in the dating scene. There's debauchery and treachery at every turn!
    10
  2782. REEEEEE! Welcome back Ray. It is good hearing your explanations.
    10
  2783. Sir i am an old school mechanic and i always learn to this day Burt Reynolds sayed it best depending on how smart you are depends on where you are standing in the world Ponder on that !
    10
  2784. I’m a mechanic that makes over 80k a year…so the misinformed dumb a$$es out their making comments about mechanics that are druggies that can’t pass a drug test I fall under DOT regulations and take regular drug tests
    10
  2785. Dean loves watching your videos. I enjoy them, as well. You are not only a brilliant mechanic, you are also very entertaining as all get out! I also LOVE the music you play during your interludes! Classy! Priscilla

  2787. “Oh it was turned off” 🤣🤣🤣 you fell for the biggest trick ever!!!! BTW the new scanner will pay for itself over the next few months making your job easier.🙂

  2788. Doc Brown would be proud of those tangents 💯

  2789. The cinder block of death makes it's appearance.
    10
  2790. Love your content sir!
    10
  2791. you do you pal
    10
  2792. Why do people do this? Just give the mechanic the whole truth. It would get fixed so much faster and probably even cheaper for the customer. I've had friends ask what could be wrong with their car after telling me what its doing so I gave them tge different things it could be but instill it into them without checking it out I don't have a definite answer. They'll change a part which didn't solve the issue and then give a different story of what was going on with it. I now refuse to troubleshoot anything without checking it out for myself and duplicating the issue.
    10
  2793. Psaki style😂.
    10
  2794. Praying for Ryan and his family
    10
  2795. You and Ford Boss are great people.
    10
  2796. Fellow mechanic here. Way to step up Ray. Wish someone did this for me when I was dieing in the hospital.
    10
  2797. That looks so much like Navarre Beach after Hurricane Opal in 1995 and Hurricane Ivan in 2004. Complete devastation. I was a Firefighter during Opal and a Deputy Sheriff in 2004. Seeing the devastation never gets easy. I had a before and after video from Ivan in 2004 from my patrol car's in-car video. Unfortunately that video was lost. I appreciate all you do Ray. I hope all is well for you and your family- Rob, Pace, Florida
    10
  2798. Watched all 3 back to back thanks ray
    10
  2799. I cannot believe it's only been 7 months!!!!! LOOK HOW FAR YOU'VE COME!!!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
    10
  2800. I’m watching a Rainman Ray video while drinking Rainman Ray coffee out of a Rainman Ray coffee cup. Have I achieved peak Florida Man?
    10
  2801. Missing your daily vids Ray. Hope to see you back in the swing soon.
    10
  2802. Ray, loved the towel troll… so perfect and then the bad first start was just gold!! People spend a lot of time and effort to troll that hard… absolutely genius!! Keep it coming sir, the direction your taking is keeping things fresh!!
    10
  2803. Dude I felt terrible leaving that piece of tire in the road :( I really didn’t have a choice when my tire blew the other day... If you see in the video cars weren’t even wanting to get over Check it out Derrick Doing Stuff is my channel Another blown tire is the title of the video I’m totally glad you didn’t get hit bro stay safe out there :)
    10
  2804. And the crowd goes WILD!! 👏👏👏
    10
  2805. Sorry, I joined the premiere only for a couple of seconds, was ready to get to work. But stay safe and stay strong Ray! Best wishes for you, Lauren, the kids, friends and family. Hope you all will be OK.
    10
  2806. That Dodge Caravan looked like it was somebodies home. And that's a pretty sad thought. Good job on the purge valve. Brand I work on has a cannister with active carbon that also lets outside air in, so a vacuum wouldn't be possible. But I understand in the USA these vacuum systems are common? Nice to see the smoke machine, I'm going to try to convince my people to get one. And it's nice to have you back on YouTube.
    10
  2807. If these humons that took all that speech the wrong way an explanation such as this will never matter. They are the same ones who believe what they want to believe. There are many who probably ran away just by finding out your in Florida.
    10
  2808. This was great 💯💯
    10
  2809. Thank you Ray for being the voice of common scence. I just joined your pay channel because i like the content. Keep the good stuff coming and thanks for helping make a more educated consumer when it come to me dealing with my truck dealer.
    10
  2810. Rays 2nd easy button of the week! No oil, no engine, no problem!! Off to the paperclip factory for you
    10
  2811. I got out of panel beating because of insurance work and cars that people don't care about.... I don't like to put my skills into something that people don't appreciate
    10
  2812. Wow, not a channel I ever expected to see bigclive hop on to! Ray gettin international famous!!

  2814. If the quality of work you're doing warrants 300+ dollar hand tools, then buy them. However, when I'm throwing together some shitty solder into a bandaid fix to supply more fuel to the cheapest supercharger I could find for my mod motor, you best believe I'm using harbor freight
    10
  2815. I really like the let it ride idea. That's pretty unique to your channel.
    10
  2816. Ain’t that the truth!
    10
  2817. Your struggle with the crush washer triggers my ptsd from KIA/Hyundai (s)
    10
  2818. the people shaming you are the unreasonable ones. fuck this truck and fuck the owner, they should be embarrassed and shamed.
    10
  2819. Didn't realize one of my customers moved down by you haha
    10
  2820. You are definitely going to miss someone else having the responsibility to get the wrong parts.
    10
  2821. Distributor was in the cam gear. It was the oil pump drive on the bottom you weren't getting in. Use a long flat blade screwdriver to move oil pump to correct orientation.
    10
  2822. It sounds like one of those EKG monitors at the hospitals
    10
  2823. If only YouTube would do something about these people...
    10
  2824. Mo electric crap, mo problems. I'll stick with a manual transfer case shifter.
    10
  2825. That’s a nice truck, Ray. It’s a technological heirloom, with no DPF. 2007, PEAK DIRTYMAX!
    10
  2826. Hey Ray, there are two things that melt in the rain and I'm pretty sure you aren't either.😂
    10
  2827. I work in IT; "needs to get access to what he needs to access" is a normal, completely acceptable statement.

    10
  2831. Is the other video with the wire splice in correlation to this video?😂👀
    10
  2832. I am not a fan of loud noises from my exhaust, but glad you have something you like! You earned it!
    10
  2833. and here I am wanting to see the oil drainer unboxing too... (as a fellow mechanic I appreciate shop equipment that makes life easier.)
    10
  2834. In the next 3-5 years all these 20 year old vehicles will be worth twice or triple what they are now with all the new plastic junk coming out of the dealerships these days.
    10
  2835. First, was referred to your channel by Ford Boss Me. I had to address this issue on my 2012 F150 FX4, root cause was a collapsed left flexible brake line. Both sides received new calipers, pads, lines, and rotors.
    10
  2836. Ryan Hall, y’all …weather guy had the same advice 👍
    10
  2837. Ray - just saw you crested 100k by a landslide overnight!!! Congrats Man!!! click
    10
  2838. It’s a good thing you video all this stuff. Not just for our entertainment.. but for proof and your protection!
    10
  2839. Hey Ray. I am a new fan of yours. Love your work. Thank you for your integrity, hard work and inspiring videos. I now know there are true professional techs out there, who have honesty and integrity and want to protect the reputation of techs. Keep up the great work.
    10
  2840. Definitely for a gearhead that is the dream.
    10
  2841. Sending special love to my favourite car mechanic from other side of the world. Poland here!
    10
  2842. Not surprised to see an oil burning 4.7. Those things are trash when they're new haha. Chrysler utilizes the downstream O2 for fuel control on most of their vehicles so I'm not surprised to see it stay in open loop. Even on older stuff you have to be careful because they're very dependent on the downstream O2 for fuel control. Hopefully the other guy "fixes it" 😂
    10
  2843. Never use gas with alcohol. And always store the lawn mower out of the rain. ☔️. Doing both will avoid this disaster. Replace pushrods. Adjust valves.
    10
  2844. As always, another fantastic repair video! I'd love to see your procedure on performing a Parasitic Draw Test!!
    10
  2845. Technically in the video it clearly shows that you closed the hood with the cap still off. So I assume you lifted the hood topped up the coolant and then put the cap on, off camera.

  2846. I was driving back home from florida and it was late, after midnight, and I was driving erratically due to white line fever and a kindly local police officer pulled me over and directed me to a all night diner for a cup of coffee.
    9
  2847. I was just thinking to myself “what did that dashboard get up to after a few too many drinks at the gentleman’s club?” and Ray chimes in “What is this? Leprosy?” Coffee everywhere.
    9
  2848. Honestly surprised more shops don't want their mechanics videoing stuff. Seems like it would cut down on stuff like that check engine light, keep people honest while doing the job, help for diagnosis, and put good information out on the internet for everyone. To me it seems like a win win win at the cost of the few minutes it takes to pull out a phone and set it up somewhere to record or in cases to just press the record button.
    9
  2849. I would be passed that the shop put in a junkyard engine. As the customer I would have demanded a brand new engine since a professional mechanic was the cause of the engine destruction.
    9
  2850. These older videos where you're at the Stealership...it seems the shop is about as well lit as the dungeon...so many shadows. The newer ones are so much more brightly lit. Even the background noise makes it more lively.
    9
  2851. It will buff out with some spit and a paper towel. Who needs wheel bearings, rear brakes, and tie rod ends?
    9
  2852. Afternoon, Ray. You know it's going to be a good video when the laptop is connected up to the vehicle.
    9
  2853. You might want to use a thermal imager and check for heat on your cables and connections. If you run a constant 200 amp load for an extended period of time you will probably see some hot spots that you might want to address.
    9
  2854. Pressure washer is an excellent comment generator
    9
  2855. Welcoming back!
    9
  2856. Pretty standard honestly, most major auto chains have several brands they own that's all the same stuff sold to different customer bases with different labels, as long as the warranty is the same it doesn't really matter.
    9
  2857. Hey, you hooked up BOTH sides of the plug wire. That's top-notch mechanics right there.
    9
  2858. WOW, hopefully this person is found. Stuff like this also gives a bad rep to safe raceway users.
    9
  2859. We have brain dead idiots here too. They think it's cool, but if they cause a wreck & kill someone, and when they are caught, they will become Big Crunchers "play toy" in prison. "Accidents" can happen in there too. I am glad that you are safe and that your family still has a father for your kids.
    9
  2860. Wow, close call, praying for you and your family to be protected
    9
  2861. Got in right at the upload lol, poor rubber boot kept her moving about .02 seconds though.
    9
  2862. Glad you guys survived the storm. Bonus the shop did too!!
    9
  2863. So glad you are feeling better now keep up your excellent work and thank you for the video Click
    9
  2864. Wishing you a speedy recovery
    9
  2865. it's weird getting my morning Rainman fix for the day, late in the afternoon! Almost as bad as missing my morning coffee
    9
  2866. A worn or wider spark plug gap would lower the duty cycle of the coil increasing resistance as the gap is increased until you reach no functionality.
    9
  2867. Grass has feelings man!!!😅
    9
  2868. This may be the first time in history that the majority of comments were mostly correct! Chemically clean evap, good new filter, change filter at least every 3 months, move furniture away from intake grille, give the cat some treats.
    9
  2869. 20:18 don't forget to recheck the power steering fluid reservoir after a few more left and right full sweeps in the parking lot.
    9
  2870. This van was designed for the European market with only 4 cilinder engines (mostly diesel). So them cramming a V6 in it is quite a feat.
    9
  2871. Almost 500k!!! Good job Ray!!! You are working on a van that was down by the river!!!! Matt Foley will be pleased😂😂😂
    9
  2872. Should be automatic reckless/negligent driving ticket for any driver with pet/animal in their lap while driving
    9
  2873. I find it exceedingly unlikely driving with any loose object in the driver's arms is legal[1] in a country with compulsory driver airbags, but I can believe the lack of enforcement by police forces. (As for pooches involved in accidents, it happened to my Dad while he was driving on the highway in a heavy traffic situation; he was rear ended when a pooch managed to escape the arms of the person riding shotgun and distracted the driver) [1]: Where I live at least, any passenger in a car travelling with babies on their arms was outlawed sometime between the late 80's and the mid 90's.
    9
  2874.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  you’ve made it to the big time. Haters are a success sign :)
    9
  2875. Ray, you are absolutely correct about us Florida people preparing for the next disaster. My family calls me a prepper all the time. I am not a prepper but, I do want to be prepared for whatever comes next. I am obsessed with generator maintenance and having a small non-house mounted solar setup. I do not have years worth of food/toilet paper/etc. I do stay ready for the next storm though.
    9
  2876. Customer states mechanic has OCD

  2877. Ray, because you have taught me so much already, I have to let you know that today my new set of wobbly bits arrived and I am so stoked! Love your videos ! Thanks so much
    9
  2878. You have some quick gun subscribers here lol. I saw this video was 21 seconds old I was 11th to like it lol

  2879. Another YouTube mega-influencer selling out to "the man": how much did Kmart spend to buy you? 😉

  2880. At least there was no "malice in the combustion palace" 😛
    9
  2881. Ray, Just wanna say I have been watching your channel for a while now, long before your new shop. I am very glad to see that you are doing so well and growing the business. Keep up the great work and keep on doing what youre doing. This is one of our favorite channels. You have given me the confidence to work on my own vehicles and the knowledge to know when im over my head. Thanks.
    9
  2882. I only go to shops that proudly declare "We take the new oil out and put the old oil back in so you don't have to!!"

  2883. notification squad, happy easter!🔥🔥🔥

  2884.  @tegimr  It is slowly being fixed and spot uploading is at best hit or miss. Wife Unit channel was successful in an upload earlier today for instance.
    9
  2885. Exxon is gonna be upset with you. They've been going to great lengths to suppress the fact that engines can actually run on water and leaves, instead of oil distillates.
    9
  2886. Like it!
    9
  2887. It's ok, room for minor changes as the channel evolves. . Like some tinsel and Christmas tree earrings 😉
    9
  2888. Don't give up brother keep trying it'll work out

  2889. Ray Ray's vids are much better now. Running commentary is worth the price of admission.

  2890. A real tech has multiple 10mm sockets 😆

  2891. I don't know how many times I see this happen. People that don't know how to install a battery should not be touching cars at all.

  2892. For 20 years i trained and trained and trained many people that never stayed, i no longer train people anymore. I am sure he is a good kid but also distracting. I am not a mechanic, but i want to fix my own cars.

  2893. looks like a northern car that transplanted to south florida
    9
  2894. Nice impact on the battery connections and breaking the internet.................you said to comment on it 👍
    9
  2895. Ray, your truck incredibly amazing. Learned a lot watching you modify your ride..
    9
  2896. My favorite is watching the mechanical odometer flip back to 0.
    9
  2897. Man, I am sitting here doing body contortions trying to help you get that tube into the back side of the engine housing. Great troubleshooting technique.
    9
  2898. Hi I am a new subscriber, amazed how you do all these jobs with just 1 hand, you really need a head cam !

  2899. You Da Man Ray !! Good luck in your new venture.

  2900. "There was an Evil Ray, and I killed him" Oh man, paraphrasing one of my favorite movies. Love the banter. It's like listening to myself work!
    9
  2901. I watched that one buddy. As a fellow tech, ive been there and feel your pain buddy. Love your channel, its good to see someone go through the same shit I do daily!
    9
  2902. Wow ray you made shot work of that ac pump. That dam upper manifold bolt is a pita . I swear i spent a good hr in the driveway teying to get that dam thing in and out .
    9
  2903. Congratulations to the Rainman with his coffee mug store.
    9
  2904. Ray, video on the new camera setup is the best it's been, IMO. The audio may need slight tweaking, though, as it's a bit "bright" (loudness/treble?). Otherwise, I agree with another poster, good to see use of two hands. Entertaining informative video as always! 🙂
    9
  2905. Ray, since you probably has a previous customer base of many years. It has followed you. I know as I did not miss a beat when I built and opened my shop. Just be prepared as there that one customer or customer vehicle that will drive you insane.
    9
  2906. "metal in the pan"... i mean the pan IS metal so is it really a lie?
    9
  2907. I loved to joke with my GF. One nite after seeing a huge Rat run across the lawn, She and I were making a Camp site by the lake. I took my cat's toy mouse and waited until she was beginning to get drousey. I tied a thread onto the toy, Tossed it down by her feet and began dragging it up her body .... Wish you could have heard the scream!! We got a visit from the Park Ranger a few minutes later. I couldn't stop laughing
    9
  2908. Hey Ray! Hope you’re on the mend. Once again, it’s a Jeep thing!
    9
  2909. Yes. Let's see the belt replacement video.
    9
  2910. Phone thing started as a joke, doubt that you can control it anymore. I can imagine someone waking Ray up with that tone in the middle of the night, and him just impusively going rururuururu 🤣
    9
  2911. Nice and shiny intro, looks like brand new. 😉
    9
  2912. When you have to work in a shop with others, it's best to have a rule against retard music, not everybody likes it !!!
    9
  2913. *Not a hater,* just advise. I also subscribe to the South Main Auto, making electrical connections is way better using a crimp - heat shrink connector... Why ? He explains that crimped then heat shrunk the connection is solid, solder tends to break up therefore weakening the connection. I don't know if I truly relayed his complete thoughts so like I said it's The South Main Auto Channel (SMA) up in small town New York State. He's very good and runs his channel like instructor to Student "If I can do it, you can do it."

  2914. Hi from uk ray👋👍 good little job this for you and pleased you enjoyed working on this vehicle makes job go smoother too 👌 noticed at end shop got pretty quiet 😬 passed that time eh mate👍 and thanks for the little history on not everything works out ( the rogue copper crush of washer) 🙈 just pleased you took time to locate it rather than hearing that noise that costs👍 good call rather just re ordering the washer as that wouldn't of helped😬 thanks for your time and be safe see you soon👍👋
    9
  2915. Hello Ray by most european cars you have to put the suspension under load before you tighten up the bolts,. If you tighten up the bolts first and after that you put the suspension under load you are putting a lot of tension on the rubber part of the control arm. It won't break instantly but shortens the life of the components.always enjoying your videos nice greetings from Germany

  2916. Use a grinder on inner race..cut loosens it

  2918. Regarding your GoPro, the SD card MUST be one listed on gopros site as approved SanDisk extreme is on there......it shoots in high resolution. even a SanDisk ultra can't handle how fast it writes data and how high the video quality is...must be the extreme or another on listed as approved for GoPro 9 on gopros site The SanDisk extremes actually have a little GoPro logo on them
    9
  2919. Watching how you used the old race to drive in the new one reminds me of the phrase "the more things change the more they remain the same". That's how I was trained over 50 years ago. The same as rolling a pattern.
    9
  2920. Do you think the people that forget their kids in a car, ever forget their phone? I doubt it... it's a pretty messed up world we live in when the car companies have to implement a "check your back seat" message
    9
  2921. I used to be one of those guys who advised customers of recommended repairs. The top of my list was safety-related and those that could leave you on the side of the road. Some listened, and some said if it wasn't broke, don't fix it. The ladder were the ones we usually saw coming back on a hook.
    9
  2922. All of them..
    9
  2923. The trust is low with this customer, me thinks.
    9
  2924. You said MONEY shot to the face... 😝 I nearly spit out my coffee & no that's not a money shot reference. You have quite the sense of humor, amongst your awesome mechanical skills. You rock Ray!
    9
  2925. 40, midlife crisis? Vette is perfect!! Go for it lmao 😂
    9
  2926. Being an Electrician myself, I would be embarrassed to have an Auto Tech working on my van if it was that messy. Great 4 parter Ray! keep up the good work. Thanks, Russ from Oregon.
    9
  2927. Now you're just taunting people with your dirty-dirty gloves... LOL!

  2928. He was using foot pounds.
    9
  2929. another outstanding video as always Ray your the best but the most important thing is to have yourself a great day
    9
  2930. You gotta mount the camera, the camera must be a camcorder, then you must spin both arms over your head in opposing directions while calling everyone stupid. And have a voice like Peter Brady singing .."Changes"
    9
  2931. Ray, your click bait is nowhere near to be seen. Unlike the master of them Scotty. He will put something like "this is the end of my channel, goodbye" and then pull some minor bs not even related. Luv ya man, keep up the great content.
    9
  2932. Im so thankful for this channel…daily uploads makes my 12 hour night shift alot easier!
    9
  2933. ​ @RainmanRaysRepairs  I just checked the other video. That "30k likes" challenge wouldn't have slowed things down much. It's up to 37k right now. 😔😏
    9
  2934. I may be wrong but when you mention Reeeeeeeeee in your video's it leads to extensive critiquing by the viewer. I was gonna Reeeeeeeeeeeee but some viewers beat me to it. Good entertainment when combatting the Reeeeeee ers though.
    9
  2935. Enjoy learning more as a tech. Been working in the field for 3 to 4 months and learned a lot here
    9
  2936. I really do like your videos long or short I really hope this catches on to other mechanics and restore the bad wrap
    9
  2937.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  Your running commentary is similar to the one that is always running through my head. I did contracting and building maintenance for over 40 years and that commentary in my head is what kept me sane. Keep doing what you are doing!
    9
  2938. Yes, Ray said [sorta] This is the heaviest dump load I've ever had to take. WORDS strike again.
    9
  2939. Look for the manual fan switch.
    9
  2940. Glad to see you back Ray, really enjoyed your video with ARod. Can't wait to see the interior of Truck when its done. Keep up the awesome videos Sir.
    9
  2941. Wish you the best! 👍🏻
    9
  2942. Great timing over the jump keep this type of content coming
    9
  2943. Hell Yeah Brother!! Glad you're having a great time, Ray. You need to have some fun time too👍
    9
  2944. The best intro in the industry. Academy Award par excellence!
    9
  2945. god it must be nice to work on rust free cars. Try getting an abs sensor out up north with out breaking it. or have the rust crush it on its own.
    9
  2946. Great video, as always. Just noticed you have now got over half a million subscribers - congratulations, well deserved!

  2947. The only reason you are able to do both of these jobs at the same time is because you've wisely invested in the right tools which allow you to do both of these jobs simultaneously and because of your monetary investment you should charge for both jobs because you are performing the services. The customer benefits by getting their vehicle back faster. It's a win/win.
    9
  2948. You made a good decision to not get too involved here. If you're unfamiliar with a piece of equipment then there's no shame in admitting that you're in over your head. These E46 BMWs are very easy to work on and repair but it does take a bit of preliminary knowledge to know where to begin. The generic scan tools, even the expensive ones are simply not equipped to deal with every single make and model on the road. They're "off the shelf" tools that work for a high percentage of vehicles but not for all. The simple fact that you didn't even know where the battery was tells us that you were in unfamiliar territory. Thank you for not destroying this ladies vehicle or taking her to the cleaner with replacement parts that it didn't need and you couldn't verify. This shows that you're far above the average mechanic working in this industry.

  2949. Ray, did you remember to tighten the exhaust connection to the EGR ?

  2950. The field trip to DLI will be fun...don't be bashful about making it a long video...knowledge is priceless. It would be interesting to see the differences made by them in that particular injector when you visit them. Maybe take an example if possible..seeing the differences side by side is always a great thing to aid in learning. As for the rebuild...it is looking good and the owner will be happy with the results after he gets it back. You and yours are all aces with me Ray🙂

  2954. October once WAS the eighth month back about 2,800 years ago, then the added January and February. So Ray you were on the right track 👍

  2955. I just did VTEC solenoid gasket and oil pressure sender on my '07 CRV. Both started leaking badly at 240k. I replaced PCV valve just in case it was increasing crankcase pressure and causing the leaks, but old one seemed OK. These are notorious leaks on K24 engines. It was fun cleaning it with brake cleaner. ANOTHAH ANOTHAH ANOTHAH!!!!!!
    9
  2956. I’ve driven several diesels with serious leaks the thousands of miles and the only issue was the smell the smoke and my alternator getting wiped out 😂

  2959. Ummmm shop towel intake runner filters engaged? I saw that last episode figured you got them out. 😂😂😂

  2966. No Replacement For Displacement xD 👍

  2967. Ray, We all get stuck working on someone else's 'good ideas'. Normally I work on electronics. Screwed up instruments, audio gear, and radios. It's astonishing and depressing what people do to and with their gear. Part of our life. Enjoy your work. Be well there. Mike in Virginia Beach

  2971. Trick I use to install pump is screw in 2 exhaust studs and slide pump in vs aligning it and fighting with bolts.
    9
  2972. With the reputation you have unknowingly built, I do not see how. To even plan to go out on your own in your desired profession, you had to know your financial and personal situation could handle it. We can assume you have the backing of the Wife Unit 110%.

  2974. Man what a work ethic you possess. I commend you, sir. I was curious about this unit. I googled it. I was thinking 6 to 8k for one of those. Found them new from 3500 to over 4k. Much better than I figured. It could pay for its self in a single season around here. Cheers from Louisiana.

  2981. The American dream being realized here. Ray owning his own shop with the wife as a partner=dreams do become reality. Very happy to see good things brother.
    9
  2982. Love it Ray, as a commenter said, why these people buy cars then can't afford the maintenance...
    9
  2983. You need to go to a local government auction and buy yourself a utility truck. Then you need to fill it full of your tools, a jack/stands and slap a logo on the side of it. Print business cards. Undercut everybody. Be passionate about fixing people's cars and saving them money. In five years, you could own your own shop and be managing your own business and employees. You could literally end up being a multi-millionaire.

  2986.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  Hahaha. Everyone is an expert on YouTube! I personally have learned from your channel so much and became much more comfortable working on my car. You saved me thousands already.

  2987. Customer: “DON’T TOUCH ANYTHING, I’ll KNOW IF YOU WENT THROUGH MY GLOVE BOX AND TOOK SOMETHING!!!!” I’m with you! 10000%! I know Making a work truck work is one thing, but come on Have some respect for yourself and your car. I pull over whenever a french fry or a donut piece fall between my seats....

  2988. I'm no longer an Automotive repair guy, but I do enjoy watching your vids now and then. Kudos! Honest repair shops getting scarce as hens teeth.
    9
  2989. Dude. Thanks for including as much sound as you could. Not sure if you know what's causing the choppy sound or not. First thing I would try is a different storage card in your goPro. GoPro eat sd cards fast. I use one for cycling and I generally get about 18 months out of them. Just so much read/write wears them out. I'm really glad you have stuck to your tech/repair vids and opened another channel for other stuff. I had to unsubscribe from another dude coz he was doing less repair work and wandering off topic. Have a fantabulous day!

  2992. 90° torque on the first phaser? No, I think it was only 87° of torque. With this being a Ford I am honestly surprised that there were 2 bolts the same size in the entire engine, including spark plugs. (LOL) I am fondly remembering my first socket set. It was a Pencraft® sold by J.C. Penny. As I recall it had a lifetime warranty...

  2993. You got me doing the "DOO DEEE DOO" thing now. Damn ear bugs.

  2995. Thank you for correcting them. I have been saying that forever and everyone thinks I am crazy! It is a parking brake, not an emergency brake!
    9
  2996. I’ve had customers state, low brake pedal and they literally have zero brakes. Somehow drove it in with only the parking brake or downshifting. Incredibly dangerous and stupid
    9
  2997. I just changed my brakes while watching. Thanks for the entertainment Ray! You have yourself have good day kind sir.

  3002. I wonder what the engineering rationale was for 'fill trans from bottom' ( That's a 'first' for me! I've never seen or even heard of it before )

  3003. Rainman…….when they get pissed because It takes longer than they expected tell them that Covid has affected parts availability and available parts delivery drivers. Because somewhere it has.
    9
  3004. As an ex-sound engineer, I can assure you that the sound inside the cabin is "flatter" than the sound outside, meaning that any echo would appear to be absorbed by the insulation. As a bonus, you should appreciate an improvement in your favourite drive music. Something to look forward to!
    9
  3005.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  You must be a super nice guy to let your ex GF post on your videos.
    9
  3006. I definitely commend you on being you.. breaking them rotors lose is the toughest job of the whole gig. That was nice of you just over all. I bet when something really goes wrong with that Toyota, he'll know who to go to. I am fairly mechanically inclined, but even I am known to throw up my hands and hope someone doesn't take me for a ride. I tip my hat to you.
    9
  3007. Now’s a good time to ditch the rack for a shiny alignment rack..

  3008. Superb editing, correlation of video to music was spot on. Direct injection is such a gimmick; engineer a system that works great, until it eventually kills itself by it's nature.

  3009.  @garyparr5431  bending wires creates resistance. Absolutely. Go get a piece of aluminum wire, just for an extreme example, use it as a jumper for a 100w light bulb. Now put a 180° bend in it and wait a while. That bend will get warm. Not extreme, but heat is resistance. And when you're dealing with computer systems that measure instruments in minute frequencies, it'll read incorrectly. Why do I know the aluminum trick? Well, because it's known fact, that's how some aluminum wired houses burn down. Someone came and put copper jumpers on to install Decora plugs and switches, then jammed all those marretts and extra wires into the already crowded boxes. Those crammed up wires get hot. Real hot. Same principal... And yes, a garden hose works in the exact same manner as electricity. Flow is voltage, and pressure is current. If you bend the hose and restrict flow, you increase the pressure. If the pressure increases greater than the capability of the hose it ruptures. If you bend a wire you create resistance, if the resistance increases beyond the capacity of the wire, it burns (obviously disregarding safety equipment.) Also, bending and kinking copper creates micro fractures in the copper surface. Electrons pass along the surface of the wire, not its core. If the surface becomes fractured the electrons cannot pass efficiently. It also creates a failure point in the wire that can break if overworked. Copper work hardens and becomes brittle. If an inspector finds a wire kink from pulling a loop through a drill hole, he will point it out. My sources are my electrical masters license, my carpentry license, and my education in metallurgy as a hobby machinist...

  3012. Opening statement was GOLD. Nicely done Ray.

  3013. I just kept laughing when you impacted the oil pan drain plug.......I couldn't believe you would have done that for real....that was a good one !

  3014. Those are equalization cables and do not support the weight of the vehicle. Nonetheless, they should be changed in the interest of safety. Thanks for the great videos Ray!

  3015. Got to admit I let out a little cheer when the belt finally went over the crank pulley. Would have been great to have had the Mission Impossible theme tune running in the background too.

  3016. Make your statement, state your beliefs, stand your ground, be a grown up, and never apologize for good behavior. If the other person isn't willing to discuss it, and explain his beliefs fine. Ignore them forever.

  3017. I don't agree with that sticker but I'm sure there is more than a few people out there who are racists and think they're patriots. Even though they're just plain racists douchebags. Anyways love your videos.

  3018. I really appreciate the torquing sequence it’s very wholesome to watch
    9
  3019. I’ve enjoyed all your videos, but I have to admit, I’m glad you no longer work at the GM dealership. I like the variety, and it was undermining your skills only working on GM.
    9
  3020. No comment on the sticker but just because I don't agree with something someone does, I won't change my mind after automatically being tagged with a name to prove I'm not. Whole world has gone crazy.

  3023. Man I found a pinhole in an exhaust manifold once as soon as truck was fired up and I had good thick gloves on and did a quick "fly over" with my gloves hand to confirm that was the tiny leak and I used to box have fairly quick reflexes and hands I thought well that freaking tiny pinhole rocketed hot gas instantly burned thru my glove into my finger it bored a burn hole into my meat I mean it was like alien laser fast like death ray shit never happened before but like he said first time for everything. Lol.. stay safe!

  3024. Dude. I love your vids. They don’t take half my day to watch and I still get to learn something or get a laugh. Short and sweet. I’m now a subscriber.
    9
  3025. Great story Ray. I commuted 30 miles each way to work in Norther NJ for years on my Honda Shadow. I no longer ride and I feel like I got away with something since I never went down. Even rode that bike to Nova Scotia and back one summer.

  3042. Loved the educational and entertaining video of this current mod to your DirtyMax charging system. And for the Lauren/Wife Unit cameo. Ever the pleasant addition to your videos. I live in the Riverside area and will consider DC Power for any/all of my needs. Gotta patronize the manufacturers.

  3046. Nah....there's a new one named Wife Unit that's waaay better.
    8
  3047.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  You know what the sad part of all this partisan hatred is going on right now all over the country? It was mostly started by underground groups on social media like FB, Inst etc by very organized groups of Russians and Chinese. They're all laughing at us right now killing each other over Republican vs Democrap stuff. It's gotten so out of hand, Putin is ready to push into Ukraine right now with 100K+ troops. Why is that? Because while we sit here and bitch at each other, they (the enemy) is prepping to come clobber. And the extremists here will still be arguing politics and sitting on their asses when it happens. A house divided is a house of cards. It's called a PsyOp, but the PsyOp we're in is not the PsyOp you think we're in etc.

  3051. Smartest way to handle the situation Ray. Well Done. (retired LEO perspective.)

  3053. Racing like that should be done on the track, not the surface streets. Hope you find him .😲
    8
  3054. Please, please, PLEASE have your little talk with him ON VIDEO and POST IT!
    8
  3055. I'd inform the race and tune organizers too. They might be willing to DQ them from entering for a while. As it gives the track a bad name if their patrons are doing dangerous things on the road like that.

  3056. I’ve been enjoying your content lately, now you’ve become my favorite channel

  3057. I learned a few things about my Chevrolet avalanche didn’t know there was a flood mode I also didn’t know how to reset the onboard oil life meter so thank you once I get my garage taken care of I will hopefully be doing my own work again❤️‍🔥

  3058. Glad the shop is still standing.

  3061. Don't forget the little people! You really didn't thank your receptionist for her phone calls to the customer with your questions. Otherwise ... damn fine, professional job. LIKE your style!!
    8
  3062. Speaking of left parts. I've found many wrenches under hoods when on wrecker calls🤣😂you can tell when it was a mechanic because it would be snap-on or a high end wrench
    8
  3063. Same
    8
  3064. How many "Mechanics" have done this, and just patched it up and sent it on? Probably more than anyone would want to know. But Ray has shown just how a real mechanic would handle a situation like this. If I were the owner of the car, and Ray reached out to me about this, I'd tell him, to just make sure the replacement unit is up to spec, and that I'd pay for whatever the replacement block needed to make it so. The reason I say this, is because Ray was going to have to do these things to the old block, because it was leaking all over the place, so it wouldn't be right, to make him pay for the things, that he was going to have to do anyway. Also, make sure, that the replacement has had the head gaskets replaced, because that was a really bad flaw in those engines. If you don't I guarantee, you'll be doing it, once you get the new engine done, then find it has a bad head gasket leak, which might've been why the engine was salvaged in the first place. Other than that, the H-4 is a pretty bullet proof engine.
    8
  3065. We love watching you so much...we did it twice. ;)
    8
  3066. You do a good job Ray but for the life of me I don't know why anyone would choose to drive an Audi.......seems like they use 5 pieces where one would do plus making things as difficult as possible to access. Could Audi be paying people to drive their product?
    8
  3067. Not sure I've ever heard anyone on youtube use the word "behoove". Well done, Raymond. *Golf clap*

  3069. He could walk on water and internet trolls would find something wrong. Best to just ignore them, they just want attention.
    8
  3070. Hey Ray, I enjoy watching you work immensely. The methodical way you go about things is inspiring to watch. I'm a bicycle mechanic and the complexity of my work doesn't even come close to what you have to deal with. The amount of work required to just diag a job is truly baffling to me. Is diag work billed the same to the customer as the actual repair? I'm curious because I often diagnose problems for free, it's sort of expected in my trade..
    8
  3071. Well Ray, You sure Forrest Gumped your way through that welding job. 😅
    8
  3072. The starter runs great.

  3074. Excellent repair on the strut tower. You always inspire with your solutions.

  3080. Loving the longer videos Ray 💙 Sending you love from Australia
    8
  3081. Ugh, I hate these engines. It's like Ford decided to forgo common sense and go straight ham on plastic and a questionable timing chain solution. "Check it, if we use the same head for both sides we can just stick a timing chain in the back, easy peasy."
    8
  3082. Ray remember that engine was built back when they still used SAE bolt sizes. You know, 7/16, 1/2, 9/16. Not mm.
    8
  3083. You didn't do anything wrong. Can you replace the sensor without pulling the intake? Yes. Can you do it properly? No. Usually results in a cross threaded sensor, damaged by the channel lock pliers, so it won't work anyway. Then you get the treat of doing the whole job over again the way you showed. Except now you get to fix the damage you did first. Go ahead... Ask me how I know...
    8
  3084. Under 10 seconds and I'm here. Love ur vids man keep up the good work 💪

  3085. glad to see that after all the strife you all have gone through in the last month. that good friends can come together and have some fun. 😎🤑🤣😂

  3086. 2:17 REEEEEE, you put bolts on the battery. They will cause it to lose ions from the electron flux and will destroy the whole planet, forcing humanity to evacuate to Pluto. REEEEEEEE (joke)
    8
  3087. For the person who said you shouldn't turn your compressor off with a breaker is wrong. I have basically the same one and have been doing it for 12 years now and it is still going strong.
    8
  3088. You're the best... right, wrong or otherwise. Great work, great videos and now!!!!!!your own shop. That's even greaterer.
    8
  3089. Whenever you're doing a thermal image of brake rotors, keep the crosshairs on the rusty portion of the rotor. If you put it on the shiny area, it will be inaccurate because shiny metal reflects IR energy much more than rusty metal acting like a mirror to give you a partial reflection of the wheel or outside temperatures. To verify this, image a hot rotor. Look at the indicated temperature difference between the shiny area and the rusty area. They're the same temperature but the rusty area emits more IR energy to your camera.
    8
  3090. Thanks for all you do! Enjoy a couple beers on me.

  3094. I see he has the same torque wrench as AvE.

  3095. U the mechanic as always just gotta be like the Armed forces on occasion Improvise, overcome and adapt keep up the great work Ray !😁
    8
  3096. That flashlight around the 10:25 mark scared the shit out of me. Knowing that the system supposed to blow beforehand has me on eggshells! 🤣
    8
  3097. If having too much stress should find something to do that'll take some stress away in life
    8
  3098. Is there a damn Parrot in the shop?? 🦜
    8
  3099. Note that digital odometers don't show "tenths of a mile." It was fun to watch the mechanical odometers slowly change to significant figures, as opposed to simply snapping in the numbers.

  3100. Purple? Nice oil drain plug gasket BTW 🤣 Years ago I was working for a shop that worked on everything. I was the go-to guy for everything European, but I also had to work on random junk like this. Someone brought in their '80-something Jeep CJ complaining about something in the steering or suspension being "off" but couldn't put their finger on it. It had a mild lift and decent sized tires but wasn't really a serious off-roader as far as I could tell. For whatever reason the shop owner told me to take it for a spin and see what I could come up with. WTF? I'd never driven a Jeep before so how would I know what was different about it, outside of the usual garbage handling all American trucks from that era exhibit? I drove it around and it was a strange experience , like the front and rear ends were fighting over which direction to move the vehicle, and there was no rhyme or reason to it, no pattern in accel/decel, load/unload, etc. I just shook my head and put it on the lift. Turns out the entire center section of frame from in front of the passenger side rear wheel was gone. Non-existent. Completely rotted away from the inside out. And the driver side wasn't in much better shape, though it was still technically one piece from front to rear, kinda. A little frightening to think I drove that heap on city streets and the guy who owned it had been commuting in it like that for who knows how long. The scariest part was realizing his daughter's child seat was strapped in the back.

  3101. I have never had this much fun at the eye doctor in my life. Ha Ha
    8
  3102. The 4th gen should have a "torque wrench" click when tightening so you don't over tighten!
    8
  3103.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  I've seen this as early as a week ago, but the tech told the customer flat out that he didn't think that was what was wrong with it BUT if he wanted this part installed and it didn't fix the problem, it was all on him and he still paid the labor PLUS the labor to re-install the old part if that was necessary.
    8
  3104. Other than hurricane season or a power outage, I see that system being really useful as supply for some kind of travel/ camper trailer when not around any shoreline to power it.
    8
  3105. I wanted to stand up and give u a standing O when that engine turned over. Awesome.
    8
  3106. Now the wife unit know where Ray went......SURPRISE..HONEY.
    8
  3107.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  Oh you don't know what you're missing Ray! Livestreams are fun. We talk about things and people listen and comments fly across the screen at an alarming rate. I drink some coffee and go home. Oh and we tell stories and some of them are even true. Cheers Buddy!
    8
  3108. Did you notice his supplier is getting WAY more efficient? The ordered parts are missing even BEFORE Ray gets 'em now! Ray used to have to wait for the parts delivery to notice things were either missing or wrong.😎😎
    8
  3109. That generation of escape is being scrapped due to subframe rot, and rear shock towers rusting into oblivion in Michigan. Oh, and the V6 models and that stupid alternator 1 inch away from an 850 degree Fahrenheit catalytic converter, GENIUS idea, Ford, especially making it an ass ache to replace, after mounting it in a location that shortens its life. Good riddance to these abominations.
    8
  3110. Today we get to play wheel bearing Jenga!!
    8
  3111. The housing bolt is called a shoulder bolt.
    8
  3112. Excellent news….being your own boss is not without its moments…but the rewards far outweigh everything else.
    8
  3113. These are the comments we need
    8
  3114. We all know you are safe since we are getting updates. You and your family stay safe. God bless
    8
  3115. I thought it was witty as Fawk !
    8
  3116. Good to see in a relatively short period of time your business has done so well you could afford more employees.The Banks cold air intake is well engineered design in comparison to some vehicles you worked on,where I asked what where they thinking.Hope you feel better Have a great weekend
    8
  3117. Random algorithm rocket boosting comment 🚀💥
    8
  3118. ... to balance the car! You are a genius! Great! Still laughing.
    8
  3119. Noob question: What do you mean by "open loop?" That's the first time I've heard that term.
    8
  3120. It's the Angle of the Dangle! Ave
    8
  3121. That was really interesting! I was completely absorbed! 👌
    8
  3122.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  I'm so sorry for your loss, Ray.
    8
  3123. You got more patience than I've got Ray! that's why I stopped doing mechanical work on vehicles in the late 80s and switch to working on only boats and1 classic cars. I hate all that computer crap and sensors, it's really not all that necessary. Hell my 83 C10 Chevy gets comparable mileage and equal performance without it, compared to a late model vehicle , so why bother having it? Plus you can still see the engine, be able to get to things easy and still have room to sit inside the engine compartment on the inner wheel well, what's not to love about that?
    8
  3124. Respect to Troy for digging into the less glamorous job but are so important for a decent working environment. He's a gem.
    8
  3125. I have not laughted this hard in a long time! Thanks Ray you made my day!!!!!!
    8
  3126. Notification squad assemble! 😂
    8
  3127. I usually like all of your videos, but your comment “If you enjoyed watching me not fix this car...” deserved a like and comment. Also the bit about the “real jump-box” was priceless! Keep up the gear content 👌🏻
    8
  3128. Sorry for the long post, hope you see this for potential videos: I am not sure if you have gotten this covered, but it would be interesting to get some frequently asked questions answered. Simple things like what cars have you owned, quality of your cars mechanically (always a myth(?) that mechanics are not the best to buy cars from for mechanical reasons), types of jobs you have worked, how many times you have changed shops (without naming them of course), how long you have been a mechanic, how have you acquired your tools (I've heard many mechanics need to get their own stuff), any special schooling you have done since you were a mechanic, and what got you into doing it as a job. I am sure there are many more questions, but it would be interesting to hear about you. Also, on a slow day, it would be interesting to hear about your personal tools and a walkthrough of what the non-common tools are for so that people can use the video to help build their own toolset based on their needs. I am always finding more and more things I need to purchase for my small setup just to do basic tasks as I change vehicles, as well as finding faster/easier tools I could get to make everything easier (best purchase was an electric ratchet and an impact by far for myself, was always a manual operation person) Yes, I liked my own post to help promote these ideas.
    8
  3129. Dave is coming around slowly. Im confident with your personality, Ray, Dave will eventually make physical appearances. For now i enjoy his off camera lib
    8
  3130. Something odd in your shop. Historically mechanics surprise a customer with a bill for the "needed" rear-end rebuild. Your customer gets surprised with a rebuilt rear-end, but no bill! Love all your vids. Thanks from rusty Canada.
    8
  3131. Thank you Ray for your videos!!!
    8
  3132. Never be sorry about short videos, sometimes I'm deliberately looking for 20-minute-or-less videos of yours when I want to kill a little time before I go to bed but don't want to get involved with some longer story. Absolutely a place for them!
    8
  3133. Protip. Electrical tape actually works quite well as a temp fix on those kinds of hoses
    8
  3134. Hi Ray, great job buddy. Hope you're getting back into the swing of things after the rain.
    8
  3135. In 10 years that brick will still be in the same spot😂😂
    8
  3136. I prefer the cable style costant tension clamp tool, easily gets behind and under obstructions. Also a belt tensioner tool kit is a must for tight spaces.
    8
  3137. Tina Turner, turn it up, for the keyboard mechanic ... ya done great Ray, don't let them nor-easters get to ya.
    8
  3138. You are upping your game with the intro. Keep it up!
    8
  3139. Definitely a scam! Or atleast not truthful about what is really going on
    8
  3140. Spreading the word... even a 5 dollar donation would help their family, least I could do! Good work Ray on raising awareness of a fellow Mechanic in need! God bless.
    8
  3141. I will donate from Australia! You are a good bloke! Everyone says America is the greatest place on earth! But you have no free health care!! If this happened to me in Australia and was in the ICU for months, then in the general ward recovering for weeks on end, I’d leave with a bill of $0 It saddens me that families have to stress about money when a loved one is sick!! You guys all need to rally for change!!
    8
  3142. Thank you for posting this video
    8
  3143. Ray, it was great meeting you and your wife 3 weeks ago at your shop. Keep up the good work! GREAT VIDEO!
    8
  3144. I recently bought a 1987 International utility bed truck and it had the Mother of All Mouse Nests in its blower housing. My near-feral kitty kat Lola now spends her spare time keeping the mice out. I’m going to leave the engine cover in the cab off as long as possible. That way she can sleep in the cab and hopefully catch future nest-builders. 😼
    8
  3145. The bit of dialogue on knowing when change is coming, has happened several times in my life. Not great as it is happening, but every time it was for better things personally in the long run. Good luck Ray. Yeah, change. Still have your skills, and tools.
    8
  3146. good job ray from Australia
    8
  3147. My great uncle was there too. His buddy was captured by the Germans, he lived and I met him at his funeral. Was really great listening to their stories.
    8
  3148. You will be repayed for this good deed Veterans never forget Semper Fi
    8
  3149. This is why I despise humanity. We've become too self centered and too backwards in our priorities. Rain man rules!
    8
  3150. The hardest thing is dealing whit ignorance 😪. You're a good an honest mechanic,keep it up buddy
    8
  3151. I don't know about you, but I really hate Mercedes...
    8
  3152. Ray this is Robert from Massachusetts was an absolute pleasure meeting you you and your wife are wonderful hosts Ty for allowing my son and I to meet you god bless I can see why you are successful you work hard and a very kind person
    8
  3153.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  It'd called being an enabler of an addiction, and in this case I applaud that!
    8
  3154. Think I'd have recommended changing those front brake pads Ray ... looked a little thin ... but still looked ok for few more thousand miles. Another great video. From a wet cold and miserable England ! 🇬🇧
    8
  3155. Joys of not having rust everywhere. :)
    8
  3156. Rainmaker, I don’t know your financial situation and it’s not my business. My gut feeling is that you should give it a shot on your own. I really think your work is that good. I know it’s easier said than done with a family. I think in the long run it would pay. I know it’s a ton of initial overhead. But you already have the best tool and that is the one between your ears.
    8
  3157. I think you may not comprehend satire. Ray spends 30 minutes in this video mocking BroDozer Mallcrawlers. Did you even listen to this video? Ray literally mocked every aspect of this truck from lightbars that aim light back into the driver's eyes to worn out metal. From drywall screws to non-attached lights... every comment is intended to MOCK the living you know what of this type of truck. Or just acknowledge there's not a lot of rock-crawling available in Florida mall parking lots.

  3159.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  Ok, you twisted my arm enough, I bought the caliper spreaders... lol
    8
  3160. I was having my tyres replaced today at the garage, technician dropped something and i said ‘gravity’ out loud and other customers looked at me like ‘ stay away ‘ - lol
    8
  3161. Congrats on all the success and progress you’ve been able to make at your shop. Can’t believe it only been about 6 months. I can see Rainman Repairs franchises in your future. God Bless!
    8
  3162. Thank you for the video. I as well try to have happy customers for their comebacks when needed. I dislike shady characters as well. I used to work on semi trucks and had another mechanic that was "shortcutting" repairs just to get the drivers out. It is a small hometown company and he would put the finger on me when things went awry. I left them for that reason and they found out that my complaints had merit. Wanted me to come back but the problem was still there. I respectfully declined. I retired my toolbox at 51 years of age.
    8
  3163. Still subscribed and a member. I may quibble about your take on a few topics, but overall I'd still share a meal with you. I fall into a fairly left leaning Libertarian quadrant on the Political Compass, and I suspect quite a few of your American viewers would say I'm 'woke' or something worse - but honestly, I don't much care about their take. You're a consistently honest and thoughtful human who believes in teaching and doing right by others, and I admire those qualities. I hope YouTube comes to the same conclusion.
    8
  3164. Yeesh. in the '70s and '80s I enjoyed wrenching. Watching you skillfully surgerize these newfangled contraptions now makes me cringe. I wouldn't/couldn't do what you do for all the tea in China. Good on ya, Mr. Rainman! Keep up the good work! Cheers!
    8
  3165. Had 1 straight off the transport truck with 2.4 miles that was knocking
    8
  3166. Toyotas may run forever but they need to have a bit of motor blood at all times. Ok Billy...no desert tonight.
    8
  3167. Next addition to the shop should be a bead blasting cabinet.
    8
  3168.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  Pretty sure you need a good physiotherapist after all those back and leg contortions doing the valve lifters!
    8
  3169. Hey, if you get chap from being wet or swamp butt you can get you a second stick of antiperspirant for that area, works better than powders. Or you can apply it to some toilet tissue or a napkin and then apply it to your rump and inside of thighs. It works amazingly to inhibit swamp butt/crotch.
    8
  3170. Ray i wont lie i love your SCANNER as a mechanic for 40 yrs mostly a out back mechanic but still i would have love a SCANNER like yours but no im not gonna run out and buy one yes i like your tools good choice but costly but thats your choice and every body elses too i love your videos too your a awesome mechanic 👍
    8
  3171. Notification squad assemble!
    8
  3172. You were a real shop when you opened up. You just didn't have all the conveniences that established shops normally have. If I was about 2000 miles closer. I would take my vehicles to you!!!
    8
  3173. The boosted ones are way more fun. But heck, under 100K miles for an '07? That's not bad at all.
    8
  3174. Ray as a LEO hmmm i can see it now you'd have way to much Fun pulling over those that didn't do a proper maintenance and brought there car to ray..like that Hyundai yesterday!!!!!😊
    8
  3175. Also PROTIP with the PTU. You can fill it from the breather vent. Take off the breather vent cap. Take a 5/16 male/male hose barb and attach it to where the vent cap came from, use a 5/16 (8mm) ID fuel hose. Attach that to a funnel and fill from the top of the engine bay. It's slow but it beats pulling cats and stuff.
    8
  3176.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  Did you hear that noise? That was the sound of Tim's comment rolling of Ray's back and hitting the ground... "Gravity!" 🤣🤣
    8
  3177. I think brakes are the most important part of a car, especially if u drive it hard like I drive mine. Every time I watch u do brakes it makes me happy on the inside that you did mine so I can have 100% confidence in them. (And also cuz I saw it get done on video so I can have 110% confidence in them lol 😉). I really look forward to the next time I need something done on my car to have u do it and see ur new place!!! Congrats again!
    8
  3178. Thank you very much for sharing Sir. Your comment is one of the primary reasons why I enjoy reading through the comments in these AutoTube videos. I'm a Shadetree mechanic and had never heard of the 11=1.1mm. That's brilliantly simplistic. Now all I gotta do is try to remember that.😄
    8
  3179. As a Toyota master diagnostic tech, we love control arms but i wouldn’t have put that after market ball joint on (or control arm at that) the one ball joints never fail really and I’ve seen them go 400k+ miles where as the aftermarket ball joints usually last a few years at that. But nice video, we charge the customer the book time unless customer can’t afford them it’s usually at the techs discretion to lower labor time for gravely jobs just to get the sell.
    8
  3180. I do not know if Ray even reads the comments anymore. If you do,I am 58 and still learning new things on here,thanks.
    8
  3181.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  ya just be careful about how much family info u share on the interwebs. There's some crazy people out here in internet land lol
    8
  3182. I feel more confident about my own repairs after watching your videos...
    8
  3183. I told this already under some other video: I don't get why ppl decide to break the procedure half-way to safe few bucks only to come back later with more problems which are prone to be much more expensive 🤷‍♂️🙈
    8
  3184. Swapping wives..........BAD! Swapping coils................GOOD!
    8
  3185. Yeahh go Ray the multi video in 1 day postmaster general..... RAYMOND 4 PREZ!!!!!!
    8
  3186. I take back what I said before about getting a go pro head strap. 1-handed Mechanic. That's your schtick now.
    8
  3187. And probably needs cam phasers and phaser solenoids and plugs... And the plugs have a really good chance of breaking during removal..... Ask me how I know... 🤣
    8
  3188.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  Ray is never late, nor is he early, Ray posts precisely when he means too. From Lord of the Rings
    8
  3189. Ray! I have an idea!!!: Open your own shop! Ok, not a unique idea, but wait! Yours will be different! What do average people fear when taking their cars to a mechanic? That they’ll get ripped off or the job will be done half-assed, right? So what’s different about Rainman Ray’s Auto Repair Shop? BODY CAMS!!! Like the police which “keeps them honest (and polite)”, you and all your mechanics (because you’ll need to hire many mechanics) will wear body cameras on top of surveillance cameras in the garage area and every customer will get like an “access code” to access the camera footage of their car being worked on including the body camera footage of the mechanic that worked on their car. Think about it, you can even have a separate maintenance section for regular oil changes with the same concept so people know their oil change was done right! People can be assured their car was worked on right because they can watch the footage or even consult with another mechanic with the footage. Eh? Good idea?! You’ll of course charge a bit of a premium for your auto repair shop and maintenance/quick lube place because of the cameras and servers for the video footage but think about it, once people got word of a shop like this with mechanics that wear body cams I bet it’d be one busy shop!
    8
  3190. I'm glad to see you're up and taking nourishment! Good to have you back and thanks for the video. I have to confess, I check two or three times a day for a new video. If nothing new I'll watch one of the other great videos!
    8
  3191. As a fellow mechanic, Respect and admire your work. It’s one thing to be able work in our chosen area, it’s a whole different level to work AND care for our customers, as you do. Never considered you a sell out, never will. Would love to spend a week or two giving you a hand, simply because you are a good bloke...but distance and different hemispheres might make that a tad difficult 🤣🇦🇺. Keep up the awesome work, mate.👍
    8
  3192. When people often get great service they tell their friendds, which in turn can lead to more work, good spanner twirlers today are like dodo eggs or an honest politician, too many out there are spoiling it for good guys like Ray , ‘ c. When a well known youtube ‘mechanic’ said it was ok to use home plumbing compression fittings on brakes, which is illegal in almost every state, I knew he was a hack, and he seemed to like working in states where there are no inspections. He rven banned another mechanic after he was called out for it.
    8
  3193. Kudos to you for your assistance. I'm reminded of a learning phase in my youth. A neighborhood 'shade tree hobby mechanic' kept a lot of local folk's cars on the road during hard times. However, he discouraged them from working on their own brakes. "If your car won't run, you're inconvenienced. If your car won't stop...well let's not go there."
    8
  3194. Good day to you Ray another most excellent video Ray but the most important thing is to have your self a great day Ray
    8
  3195. here you are.....I was waiting all morning, RAY! lol
    8
  3196. I wholeheartedly agree. I did my time as an engineer for two major European manufacturers and experienced all the same frustrations. Even though I've been out of the role for a good many years now it still annoys me a little when I hear mechanics complaining about the engineers who actually had to put the car/ truck into production with costs being the bottom line all the time.
    8
  3197. Eric, you are such a troll 😂 Real good antitheft though lmao
    8
  3198. Man, I'm glad I wasn't the only one!! This back seat mechanic-ing is tough! The second Ray started the idler bolt, I said: "don't forget it's a left thread!"
    8
  3199. That thing is still extremely clean and crust free for Canadia.
    8
  3200.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  I've melted my cheap test leads like this. Theyre not made to handle a load🙃
    8
  3201. AMAZING! I'm an Electrician by trade. Now a fiber optic splicer/certifier. What you do for a living is my entertainment. I learn something new every time. Unless you're soldering wires. HA
    8
  3202. You, Sir, are doing an awesome job! I watched a couple videos of yours and have to say, that I'm really well entertained! I don't know what it really is, but it's just so nice to see such an honest and kind person applying some clickage with his wrenches while working out the issue a car have - AND explaining it so well! As a son of a technician and being myself one, I really glad that there's one out there who shows the honest daily work! I'm really glad, that you can find the time to cut and make these videos for us! I really really appriciate that! And again: You're doing a really great job! Btw, I wish you all the success with your home project! Thank you, Sir, and have a great day!
    8
  3203. That was one of the first things my instructor told us in brakes class. Pretty neat stuff though
    8
  3204. I Love the "Circular Cheetah" 😂😂
    8
  3205. In your opening you acknowledged that you were conducting a "suggestive" experiment. My first thought was "placebo effect" and BOOM!, you indicated that you were aware of its existence and properties. It's always enjoyable to share in your knowledge of things beyond mechanics. For me that's a great deal of why I enjoy your channel so much.
    8
  3206. I could hear Ray thinking to himself: "please don't return my soldering equipment, it's possessed and causes the internet to blow up"
    8
  3207. Just a suggestion...if your still having the issue with fuel rail high pressure DM Diagnose Dan....as he's most likely dealt with this before on jaguars and can steer you towards solution.
    8
  3208. In an automotive charging system, the battery also acts a filter for the power coming from the alternator. This is why you should never disconnect the battery while the engine is running as an alternator test as the alternator output is not pure DC, it is in fact hyperbolic, very noisy and you can fry many modules this way.
    8
  3209. Amazing story, several of my friends had troubled and difficult childhoods including myself. The Military was also my saving grace. its wonderful that he became successful in spite of the adversity that he faced and never gave up!
    8
  3210. Being a certified mercedes tech and mechanic you did well. Only question is which filter did you use? Some off brand filters are paper and it is a way to common mistake I see. They can starve the engine of oil and come apart making one hell of a mess. I'm sure you had the correct filter but I was just curious.
    7
  3211. They probably won't come back for the repair until it stops working again. Then blame you for the light and the a/c not working anymore.
    7
  3212. Ahh yes...the usual check this simple thing, leave, then complain the real problem wasn't there before. I had that a few times working in a speedometer repair shop of all places. We always documented everything because of this (wayyyyy before cell phones were a thing).
    7
  3213. removing the engine by lifting the vehicle up off of it is the coolest thing I've seen in a while RIP tec
    7
  3214. Ray, your little spawn is a rad dude! I got a few myself and his willingness to help is just awesome! Good luck with the new digs brother!
    7
  3215. Happy Turkey Day, Raymundo. Glad business seems steady for you. And cool new merch!
    7
  3216. REEEEE YOU DROPPED THE CUSTOMERS DRIVESHAFT BOLT ON THE GROUND!!! :O ITS GONNA BE DESTROYED WTF RAYYYY (this is a meme)
    7
  3217. I just subscribed to your channel because at the end of the video I just watched you said- "If you don't like this video or if you don't like me... I don't care. I don't like you either." Awesome. THAT'S the kind of guy I will subscribe to! 👍
    7
  3218. Good job on welding that manifold, as Eric O always says, 3 comment generators, 1) welding 2) concrete pouring and 3) soldering. 🤣🤣
    7
  3219. Wobbly bits and pouring in one episode! It's too much!
    7
  3220. Scotty out front doing advertising like those clowns with a fan up the ass and arms waving. 🙋‍♂️🙋‍♂️🙋‍♂️🙋‍♂️🙋‍♂️
    7
  3221. It’s 5:20am here in the U.K.
    7
  3222. Wow! This is exactly what happened to mine. Cracked block and head. Full engine replacement. Been in the shop since the beginning of October waiting on parts here in California. $6500. $3000 after warranty I bought. Still stupid expensive. Apparently this is very common with this year and no recall yet.

  3223. Love your videos bro. Would love to see more Toyota and Lexus work. Thanks for your time and skills. Very informative and educational. You have an infectious personality and real knack for being entertaining. Glad I found your channel.
    7
  3224. You're a good guy Ray. I would have dropped that damn drive shaft. More space. Less room for error. I work on my own stuff. First rule. Make plenty of work space. I don't care how much stuff gets removed. No lift or special tools. I have only one chance to get it right
    7
  3225. While I’m watching the video, I got the notification. That’s yt.
    7
  3226. Ray, no need to go any farther. This is your shop and it was a teaching as well as a learning moment. Troy will come into his own as time goes by and the way you teach him he will ask for help if the situation should present itself.
    7
  3227. Hats off to guys like you... I lose parts when I change my oil!!
    7
  3228. Hey Ray, I know you love your harbor freight tools! I want to let you know that I bought a nylon abrasive wheel there and it cleans hub surfaces up nice, for when your installing new rotors..
    7
  3229. @nowr2run139  yes it is!! 🫡🫡 the old man had in the garage for 35 yrs.....now its in mine. A true garage find. We are in straight preservation mode. My goal rn, is to keep it under 10k. No fire bird footage but the owner came over & did talk to us. The black one man, it was sweet.
    7
  3230. I guessed you also know / watch AVE, because of "cooch" or "cooching" in other videos. Keep up the great work Ray, I love watching your videos and it's nice to see that honest mechanics still live and are as annoyed by scammers as the average consumer!
    7
  3231. They all look the same when the lights are off.
    7
  3232. It’s a GOLD Battery, either way. What could be better!
    7
  3233. Out of interest, who else calls out "CLICK" ?
    7
  3234. My takeaway from this is, if you want to make Ray happy, hide peanuts in different areas in the engine bay. :D
    7
  3235. Dude you get us addicted....and then you disappear! We are used to daily Rainman vids, not sporadic! Glad you are okay! 😁 morstke didn't have his Monday vid either!! Thought you guys went on a strike!
    7
  3236. G'day to Ray, the Wife Unit and the kid units from Australia 🇦🇺

  3237. Hello, Ray! Electron engineer here, I enjoy your videos on occasion, love the vibe! A smol tip for the amp-meter in case one explodes in your hands from overcurrent and you want to fix it yourself: most models have a fuse before the current-shunt, or alternatively the circuit-board trace evaporates from all the electrons. The fuse can be replaced and if the trace is MIA, you can solder a thicc piece of wire over its remnants (if the circuit-board needs to be removed, keep the dial/screen facing downward, since some models have thin metal strips hanging loose on the dial and those can spill everywhere and are a nightmare to reassemble). If you decide to DIY a broken amp-meter, just don't forget to compare its readings with a working one after your repair, sometimes its electronics gets fried and it needs to be repaired by buying a new one. :D Hope this info comes in handy!
    7
  3238. Agreed
    7
  3239. Ray, I totally enjoy watching your videos. You are an amazing auto technician, and your regard for the customer is simply outstanding. I am a healthcare provider and have listened to your comments regarding your R hand. I think you may have the beginning of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. You should consider seeing your physician for an exam. Do not be surprised if the physician refers you to a nerve specialist. Try to rest that R hand/wrist.
    7
  3240. Great Repair
    7
  3241. 💯💯😎
    7
  3242. Wow Ray you really make this an art !Such a sophisticated and overly complicated job done with ezz by the master himself is just art .splendid work Ramon you a gentleman and a scholar! 🤣
    7
  3243. I know how you feel dude, it`s like we are there handing Ray the tools lol
    7
  3244. Thanks Ray. You really are a very good mechanic, I wish you worked near me.
    7
  3245. Ray, thank you for this video! Who ever thought you would have to remove so much to replace a water pump? It's almost like they designed it to be difficult!
    7
  3246. It is leaking electrons! Keep up the great videos!

  3248. Pine trees are fun but tough. I once tied a chain to the back of my kubota tractor to pull about a four inch Norfolk Pine and wound up yanking the whole back of the tractor out braking all eight hardened bolts of the hitch rail out thus ruining the tractor. Tried welding the aluminum but it always leaked so I sold the tractor at a huge discount and never tried that again. Chainsawed it to the ground and covered with mulch. Great video.
    7
  3249. Ray, imma need some brakcleen action really soon man. I'm hurting over here !!!
    7
  3250.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  been eyeing the banks pedal monster and pedal commander for a while. I look forward to your honest review.
    7
  3251. Hi Ray, your wife is awesome brother. A good helper, running the office, asst. mechanic, and I'm sure a great mom to your kiddos. God Bless your family dude. I'm really happy to you out here on your own and I'm confident you will do very well.
    7
  3252. Good to see Mrs Ray giving a helping hand.
    7
  3253.  @philsonnenberg6092  I seem to recall that he bought it for Wife Unit but he wound up driving it more than her during the Escaredo project.
    7
  3254. “I’m gonna give it the old reach around for the hard one” Worth the extra drive for the camera! Lol 😂😂😂
    7
  3255.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  I visited their channel, posted to it and received a very nice reply. Good people. Glad to see you, and Eric, taking care of them.
    7
  3256. Good Evening. Wow just noticed I've been a member for a year!
    7
  3257. you dont want the phone to stop ringing ray...job security 😁
    7
  3258. Welcoming back!
    7
  3259. As the great Bill Murray once said.......IT...IS..ALIVE.
    7
  3260. Seeing your fuel mileage indicator, tells the truth on what diesel dually's provide. My F-450 6.4 (yes, the 6.4), 9500lb 4:88 geared truck returns the same mileage. 9.5mpg towing 15k fiver to 12.8mpg unloaded.
    7
  3261. I personally think it's not totally purged. I've seen some other comments saying this car has a purge bleeder. It does act like it's still got air in it. This is a tricky one. I'm anxious to see what it is.
    7
  3262. So, one cylinder ingesting water will cause the engine to stall, and if anyone has seen a diesel with an injector stuck open, you'll know this. For all 4 cylinders to have ingested water like that, and for all 4 cylinders to have bent rods, he was going pretty fast and at a rather high RPM for it to overcome the force of steel rods bending. I would really like to see the aftermath of this.
    7
  3263. I'm loosen my mind. :)
    7
  3264. Take the old oil out you got to put new oil back, apparently you never heard Jiffy Lubes motto 😂😂😂
    7
  3265. Glad alls well… talked to my Dad other day … he lives by you yes… crazy rain even for Florida he said… very cool channel… ✌️
    7
  3266. Thank you for not making us wait for the Continue. 👍💪
    7
  3267.  @bigclivedotcom  did not know you like to see ray tinker around lol been watching you for years
    7
  3268. Shame that the tensioner bolt wasn't the same size as the time-sert kit you already have. Bummer, but after a while you will have an inventory of time-sert and heli-coils for future projects. Mechanics tool inventory never ends
    7
  3269. Thanks for this Ray. I’m apprenticing at a very dishonest and very shady shop. I get in trouble whenever I try to go the extra mile or do work properly. I’m just staying here until I get a year of safe driving so the points on my license goes down and I get more opportunities, but for the moment, I’m just using this business. Using them to learn. I can’t wait until I can do real work like this
    7
  3270. It's a nice throwback to the 80s
    7
  3271. Love it, just would love to hear some DoodlyDo's like i mentioned on the previous vid :) Very cool graphics and tuneage for sure with it Ray!! That person did a great job!!!!
    7
  3272. Love it.
    7
  3273. Ray, It’s like when you go into a store and you know they have what your looking for and the clerk says “nope don’t carry that” and then you have to find it yourself cause you know they have the part somewhere ! Try a store mgr tomorrow, you get the help you need.
    7
  3274. Glad you're enjoying the PedalMonster and iDash. Many think that Banks is just a diesel parts company. We love that you're helping us show everyone that we're fuel agnostic. Thanks, Ray!
    7
  3275. Ray is the man!!!
    7
  3276. I had to laugh when you said if you don't find leak, you will cause leak. Luckily, you're not that kind of tech, but there are garages out there that will...
    7
  3277.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  it's a oval , not a circle.....duhhhhhh
    7
  3278.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  Hey I know how that is, I work for one of those places!
    7
  3279. Ray - I'm a toyota tech, I've replaced those alternators with way too many different methods/techniques, here's just my 2¢ to make this job easier for the next time - I would of done 3 things differently in the passenger front wheel well, there's a plastic access panel you can remove to gain access to the idler pulley, that way you don't need to remove the coolant bypass/tstat or upper engine mount. also, on some models you can remove the upper radiator support and move the rad a little more to make it much easier to remove/reinstall the alternator. lastly, there is a specific procedure to bleed the coolant on those 2GR engines, using the high-point bleed nipple that lives on the coolant bypass next to the intake manifold. there's youtube videos showing this procedure, if you don't follow, you'll leave an air pocket in the system that will eventually make its way to the heater core.
    7
  3280. Good morning Ray enjoy the videos not for just the knowledge, but also the humor. Take dismornings video when you said HOUSEKEEPING don't know why but it really made me laugh, and I needed that today. 😂😂 In closing I want to remind you to have yourself a great day!!
    7
  3281. Good morning from Chicago😳🥶 Raymond well 5 o'clock wake up call, let's start the🤷😁 day ☕BROTHER 🧰👋👋🛎👍
    7
  3282. I had this same issue last week on a RAV 4. Lowered car to the ground and used a floor jack to compress the spring. Definitely a scary and sketchy situation.
    7
  3283. 20 minutes for alignment on a repaired wrecked Toyota with a new subframe, junk yard parts, etc, AMAZING. Good video series! Thanks
    7
  3284. WARNINIG CLASSIFIED DOCOMENTS DO NOT WATCH VIDEO
    7
  3285. I had goosebumps watching this. Love your content Ray! This was a treat for your regular audience ❤
    7
  3286. Great work👍 imagine how much you could accomplish with 2 hands!
    7
  3287. I use a $20 cal scan it gets me in the right direction as to where the problem is.
    7
  3288. Dang it Ray, ain't gonna lie I jumped with the explosion right about the time I was expecting an arc. The I was like "hey don't forget about the hammer".. Merry Christmas from me and my family to yours brother.
    7
  3289. I caught myself whistling the background phone ringer lol. Gosh I’m lame
    7
  3290. "can you check the suspension Ray? Every time I turn, it seems to go sideways..." 🤣
    7
  3291. It's good to be you Mr. Ray.
    7
  3292. UP THE IRONS!!
    7
  3293. Hi Ray! Hope you're having yourself a great day!
    7
  3294. Good morning Ray. I’m glad to be here, I know you’re glad to be here too
    7
  3295. One of the greatest videos I've ever seen
    7
  3296. I feel like this video was more therapeutic than anything for you. Just listening to the stories and watching you push through what is otherwise routine for you.. Content on a whole other level. Rest up man!
    7
  3297.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  probably a friend or friend of a friend (with limited mechanical experience) told him that the pulley grinding can cause a leak and that it should fix the problem if replaced. unfortunately some people just cant understand that there might be other problems and they probably shouldn't own cars. Anyway great video Ray
    7
  3298. 12:56....Windex also neutralizes ants and crickets better than any insecticide !!
    7
  3299. Tell Drunk Customer To Share
    7
  3300. Do I owe you anything?
    7
  3301. 421k subs with 558 videos. Awesome job Ray!
    7
  3302.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  Heinekens make the day go by a little more blurry. Congrats on the shop and future endeavors ray
    7
  3303. What a great video. Every step recorded in real time. Thanks for putting everything you did in the video along with an actual explanation for what you were doing! Excellent!
    7
  3304. Nice! Did you do that with that laptop you found?
    7
  3305. LOVE the intro mate!
    7
  3306. The road rage story illustrates how unhealthy behavior is perpetuated in a family. My friend talks about the poor behavior his parents subjected him to, yet, he is doing similar to his kids. He doesn't see it and thinks he's stopping the cycle. Sometimes, I think there should be intensive parenting classes in High School.
    7
  3307. Pull the lifters out and check them!! It's take two mins your already there I bet that motor needs a cam and lifters too
    7
  3308. Now there's a dedicated subscriber, shamelessly I was hoping for the same. 😊 I can't help but think that it was the Teflon wrap that threw off your feel for the proper amount of torque.
    7
  3309. had a 08 gxp loved it but man the dash board was trash if it is kept out doors the dash boards would crack and warp something crazy.. kept mine under a cover to stop it.. hated getting rid of it but grand kids came to live with us and needed a lot more room.. so it had to go.. loved driving it people would be so fooled when told it was a front wheel drive v-8..
    7
  3310. Anti gunners can be so foolish in what they believe.
    7
  3311. It's really funny how haters watch your videos just so they can hate on you. But they are watching none the less
    7
  3312. "Stay in your lane!" Well said, brother. Keep up the great vids and thanks for educating another person oh how the real world works.
    7
  3313. As a mechanic myself, this was painful to watch. Props to you Ray for cutting the wires and going to the point of no return. I was honestly releived when the o2 sensor broke loose! Lol!
    7
  3314. The last of the BoF G bodies. Great candidate for a LS swap.
    7
  3315. I wouldn't use it for terminals, but I'm sure you would come across a reason at some point. But have you heard of marine shrink wrap? Has epoxy inside that melts when you shrink it. Makes it waterproof and a lot stronger of a join.
    7
  3316. Good morning, Ray. Shop looking nice and spacious. Going to be great when the new lift and door are installed.
    7
  3317. It’s been a pleasure watching you and “Wife Unit” grow your little business! I recall thinking, when you were employed at that last place, you’d be so much better off working for yourself. You’re a smart guy and figured it out! Keep up the great work! Attract good mechanics like yourself, and you will succeed beyond anything you could imagine. Honesty and fair treatment of customers will have them lined up down the street to do business with you. All the best for your future success!
    7
  3318. Not a morning without Ray.
    7
  3319. Ray’s driving school. Part ll🤣 Love the way you describe how different indicators in the dash are, and the meaning when they illuminate.
    7
  3320. Drive in stop and go traffic for a good while then drive through some standing water---shazzam warped rotors ..DiiiiiiDooooDiiiiiiiiiiDooooooooooo
    7
  3321. We have a hero in the comments.👍
    7
  3322. Sounds like you've lost a few..........as have i.
    7
  3323. Ray doin' a mag dump on those spark plug tubes! LOL "Thread lock it!" HaHaHaHa! You friend is hilarious! LOL! Have a great day, Sir! o7

  3324. *At the first dribbling of diesel... "Look, $20!" 😄😆🤣

  3325.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  he's a cry baby
    7
  3326. Great show Ray. Have thought ever thought of oiling your rear leaf springs?
    7
  3327. New battery is needed Ray good day to you Ray hope your good but the most important thing is to have your self a great day Ray
    7
  3328. Yes I would have thought more work would have done for the slipway for the submarine that is booked in early next month.
    7
  3329. Most MPPT controllers do not take well to having PV input before having the battery connected first. Thats why the open circuit voltage went to 33V. Also that controller will only charge at 240mA so you won't see a voltage change in a long time. Since that controller only put out 1/4 of an amp I doubt it would damage anything anyway. Now when you have a system like I have on my jeep with a 280W panel that has and open circuit voltage of 40v and a short circuit current of 10A. That will do damage. And the Renogy MPPT charge controller I have 60A rover, It had many warnings on it not to connect the PV before the battery. My panel on my jeep has been in operation for over 2,5 years and has produced 101kw in that time.
    7
  3330. Troy seems to be more comfortable working along side you on the videos. He also seems to help keep your shop more organized.
    7
  3331. Was that the wrenches I gave you for Christmas? I love those things. They work well for rounded bolts.
    7
  3332. My 2nd job was at Jack in the Box, I got fired for stealing cups. STEALING CUPS! So Jack in the Crack was having some promotion with the movie “Star Trek: Generations” and they had these neat “collectible cups” for the movie. I wanted a full unused set of these cups ‘cause I’m a Star Trek nerd and each cup had different things on them like one had Captain Kirk, the other had Captain Picard etc. I asked the assistant manager if I could buy a set, they didn’t know how to sell me a set of these cups. I was like, fine, sell me (I think it was like 8 different cups) eight sodas with my employee discount and I’ll just take the cups home. It was at the end of my shift, the assistant manager was all “whatever, we’re busy, just take the cups and we’ll charge you later”. I didn’t feel comfortable doing that so I got the cups and stacked them together and put them in a bag and left them on the managers desk in her office and I figured on my next shift I’ll just ask her and buy the cups (sodas) then. They call me in on my day off, I knew I was fired, whenever they call you in on your day off you’re being fired. I really hated that job, the people were ghetto people… So I go in and my manager said “because you stole these cups you are terminated.” I say “OK Thank You 🙂”, they were confused as hell, like I needed a job at Jack in the Crack so bad, I was in High School and just wanted some extra money. So as I was walking out of the office the manager hands me the cups and says they can’t use the cups so they’re mine anyways since I “stole them”, I laugh and throw the cups in her trash can and say “have a good one 🤓” and walk out and go home. BTW that was like 25 years ago, those cups aren’t worth anything today, anything made as a collectible is never actually collectible so throwing them away was probably the best thing to do with them. 😎
    7
  3333. This rig is gonna be like a brand new car soon Ray! Nice work.
    7
  3334.  @jamesc9327  I have to disagree I’m going to be honest but what you were saying is kind of negative I wish you wouldn’t be that way but to be on the positive side I have learned a lot of things and tricks that he has shown me and I have been around a lot longer than he has I’m almost to the retirement age and I’m still learning things from him. My brother please let’s be positive because all it takes is one individual to be negative for a lot of other negative people to follow you Instead let’s be positive and say that we can learn something from his videos and who cares if he makes money some people love money some people get jealous and both of those items that I’m talking about money and jealousy is against the teachings of Jesus Christ so brother please don’t perish in the negative side of things yes I know he does not answer questions I’ve been asking him questions for about six months now not one reply but I don’t care what I care about is some entertainment because he does make me laugh on certain things and it’s hilarious but actually what this man has accomplish is more than some men can accomplish a whole lifetime so please don’t be jealous be happy for somebody else’s success and success will follow you my man. Look brother I love you take care Jesus Christ is coming very soon so repeat my brother so we can be in heaven together and when you repent except the Lord Jesus Christ as your savior so we can be in heaven and talk about some mechanical issues you had in your lifetime and I’ll tell you my biggest issue that I had lol trust me it’s a doozy. So enclosing my brother take care God bless you your family and friends and I look forward to seeing you one day in heaven but repent my brother being negative there’s no way to go through life, I forgot to tell you this is what I was told in Science class do you know it takes over 100 muscles in your face to frown and it only takes two muscles to smile send it to think about right bro take care merry Christmas by the way and a happy new year and be safe. ✝️✝️✝️

  3335. The reason you stuff up your words is because you are concentrating on repairing a car, whilst videoing high definition video of yourself doing the repair, keeping in mind the people around you and the going ons of the business that you are at, all whilst nerating the video, stuffing up words would be expected at the very least.
    7
  3336. Good Sunday afternoon to you Raymond and family hope you're all doing well today. What you got for us now BROTHER! 👍
    7
  3337. I'm glad that I didn't end up being caught between the belt and crank pully when you dropped me. Sometimes the free.99 and no profit ends up being $$$ and mucho profit when the customers trust you and then want you to fix what is broken for themselves and their family and friends! Good work, my man!
    7
  3338. I've done the job 5 times in my head, but when I get to the shop, none of the work has been done! Lazy night shift! :)
    7
  3339. She’s a running lean ? I guess I’ll need to tune in to find out ! Good morning ray
    7
  3340. I always enjoy hearing Alvin and the Chipmunks when you do those fast-forward sequences! 😬 BTW, Ash Wednesday is tomorrow, not today.
    7
  3341. Love the content man! Good morning!! Have a great day!
    7
  3342. Ray appreciate the daily videos. Keep up the great work!
    7
  3343. You forgot to put the hose clamp on the air return
    7
  3344. Best channel on youtube!

  3345. Aucorse you need time off or you think you are a robot 🤨🤔
    7
  3346. 4L80 is a Boss Hog. Actually, TH400 w/od and ecu control . Even Hydramatic Div would be impressed with 400k, if never rebuilt(unlikely) Hot Rod Garage called it the 'best shifting Trans' they'd ever used . Caution: unbelievably heavy @ near 200lbs as installed. (Then add 3 gallons trans fluid). Have hundreds of runs on one in full option 72 Nova behind SBC, since 2014. They Take a Lickin & Keep on Trippin!
    7
  3347.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  I think you got this job after the client discussed this replacement with their regular mechanic who probably refused to take on the job.😜😜
    7
  3348. Don't forget that hose clamp for the power booster hose brother;)
    7
  3349. This is not normular....What did you do with the real Ray? Sometime in the not-so-distant future....the year is 2080....After many years of following Ray's examples of excellence, the landscape becomes a dystopia of discarded aerosol brake clean cans.....but at least everything is still nice and shiny........ Gravitas takes over, many men over the age of 20 are dropping their nuts. While everyone is happy to be here, not everyone is certain where here is anymore.. Apostrophes are no longer used..., this requires everyone to give up their worldly possessions. GMC develops a new hybrid Silveryrado but many are failing to starten-z-engine....but they're still remembering to give a thumbs up, hit the subscribe button and have themselves a nice day.....
    7
  3350. Damn I cut it twice and it was still too short!
    7
  3351.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  Don't fall for the torque nazi. The guy that is going to scream about it is the guy that's on his third day of "professional" jiffy lube service technician training! I don't know about you but my elbow torque'o'meter is pretty accurate from years of calibration. And if I don't know the torque then it must be a German torque spec "Gudentight"
    7
  3352. It's awesome. I get home from work and fire up Ray's latest, and I can forget all about the four trucks sitting in my driveway I need to get around to working on.
    7
  3353. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
    7
  3354. Hey man I'm a new subscriber here and I've been watching some of your videos now and I really like them. It's so entertaining and sometimes informational, I've been going to auburn career center in the auto tech class and I'm really enjoying it so far and I'm on my last year there so when I'm done I'm going straight into the workforce and to hopefully become a master technician. Keep doing what your doing man!
    7
  3355. You've come a long way in the past year,for the better I might add.
    7
  3356. Me too! Hyaaa, chicken!
    7
  3357. Loving the vibe you two have going on! Just a couple of buds hangin' out in the shop. Looking forward to more collabs!
    7
  3358. When video starts with Aaron in gloves and you barehanded we knew who was going to be working and who was going to be watching! LOL
    7
  3359. Proper way of doing a oil change at a shop. This is for those impatient customers! 1. Bringing the car into the shop 2. Seeing if there's any warning lights on the dash 3.Get ready to rack the car 4. Do under hood inspection 5. Pop oil cap and if there's a filter on top pop that to 6. Put the car in the air 7. Remove any skid plate so you can get to the oil drain 8. Drain oil 9. Do a visual inspection of under the vehicle 10. Do a tire inspection and rotate the tires 11. Write down anything you noticed on your visual inspection and recommendations and give it to the service advisor 12. Putting oil drain plug back in and reattach any skid plates 13. Lower vehicle until the tires are just barely touching the ground 14. Put oil in car startup car check the oil level 15. Torque Wheels 16. Reset oil change light if car has it and put in oil change sticker 17. If service advisor did their job and they sold something to the customer do what they sold to the customer 18. Bat car out park it and give keys and paperwork to service advisor All this takes time and 45 minutes is a respectable time for a oil change service at a shop.

  3360. Rushing a job never works out well. You did a proper job. It's a wonder she was not waiting outside your bay for the car.
    7
  3361. Keep up the great work. Problems happen
    7
  3362. Great video! I've gotten those little wisps of refrigerant when removing caps on cars with brand new valves. And on cars that haven't leaked any refrigerant. I've been told that the valves are actually secondary and caps are primary. Hard to believe that's true but I've read that in various AC articles over the years. The caps aren't optional, regardless.

  3363. Not only does this give mechanics a bad name. It also gives the manufacture a bad name for their product.
    7
  3364. Lol down here in Texas we have 80s trucks still on the road with no rust. Exhausts are tricky but somehow in the south I’m able to get all the manifold bolts to cat on these trucks with a 3/8 impact :)

  3365. lol takeing bet's lol

  3366. went to diagnose a friend's grandmother's minivan a few years ago, unbeknownst to me she was a hoarder; that car was rank! i refused to get near it and made my friend reach in plug my solus pro into the port and turn the key. it too was a hopeless case unfortunately (blown head due to coolant leak neglect)
    7
  3367. The whole thing is ready for the container

  3368. Excellent diagnosis, disassembly, , & fire up😂

  3373. Ray. do what you have to do.. I don't get the picky people who think you should restore this to new or take your own time to procure bolts to finish the job. You did the job with care. It runs better. If someone what to take the additional time to fine tune the carb let them use their time to do so. For those who want to drive to the hardware store for two bolts have you seen the price of gas lately.. Not worth the trip..

  3374. Like bobcats list as a like a t185 for track loader and a s185 for skidsteer

  3375. i recently found your channel while randomly combing youtube and its depressing honest mechanics like yourself are so hard to come by keep up the good work and the honest mechanicing its nice to see someone caring more about the costumer more than making an un honest buck
    7
  3376. Just wanna make it clear I liked this video not because I like what happened but because I like the fact that you and your family made it through unharmed and because you are still here to make it 💜🖤💜🖤💜🖤 also love your youngling singing, as a father of 5 I can't help but feel a little joy when a child is happy 😊 good luck with everything brother. I hope things get back to normal as fast as possible and much love from the land down under n.n

  3377. Ray you are an honorable man and the truth of the matter is if I were living in Florida you would be my mechanic, now let me see that both you and Eric O always put a smile in my face whenever either one of you make a comment about the other you are both great men, Ray God bless you and your family and the business that you are working in.
    7
  3378. Got in a car once and cockroaches came from everywhere...hundreds! I jumped out real dang quick and refused that vehicle.
    7
  3379. You're wrong. You are giving Ray too much credit. It is actually Peetah doing the work. Ray cloned another Peetah, put makeup on him and a beard. Then Ray does voice overs and sits back in the corner having even longer lunches. Disgraceful. Definitely need to talk to his boss. Signed - poor under paid, over worked disgruntled retired mechanic ( I know - whoa is me) from Land Down Under, who enjoys Ray's quality of work and attitude to life. For info, in Aussie Land, the more ribbing you give a person, the better you know them and the better the mate they are to you.

  3381. Hold up, you don't install the filter dry, and tighten it until the canister base is literally gouging the pan, then hammer the drain plug in with a 1/2 impact ? What ? I'm sure thats the right way! That's how every one was previously done that I have to follow up on.....

  3382. In the immortal words of Adam Savage on many Mythbusters episodes.1:00......WELL,....THERE'S YOUR PROBLEM.

  3383. Your shop is awesome cuz y'all get to be jamming to some CAKE
    7
  3384. I work for a warranty company, We ask the Selling Dealership for the Used Car Inspection and if it is listed on that Used Car Inspection then we will deny that because they found it and didn't fix it, Some times we ask for Pictures or we will send our 3rd party inspector out to look at everything, which takes 24 to 48 hours to go out and look at that vehicle, I would say always take that vehicle somewhere you can trust to look over that vehicle and to make sure everything is good to go on that vehicle

  3385. Nice walk down memory lane on the intake gasket job and didn’t have to get dirty. I’ll have my popcorn ready for part 3. Thanks for the content.

  3390. Love to see you here too Eric!

  3391. AT ALL COST.......PROTECT YOUR DOODLY DOODLY DO.
    7
  3392. Ok... Nvm I jumped the gun. Ray said the exact same thing right after I finished typing lol
    7
  3393. When you took the door apart at 3:17 you can see the foam was behind the plastic part you had a hard time with getting back on. if you go back to part 2 at 19:54 you will see you put the foam back over (in front of) the plastic piece you had a hard time with. you created more gap with he foam. making it harder to put back together. So SIR! this is UOE... (User Operator ERROR) LOL Love your videos! Catch YOU int he next one :D

  3394. It goes from a high pressure liquid to a low pressure liquid after the metering device As the refrigerant is absorbing heat it boils and turns into low pressure vapor
    7
  3395. If such a thing existed, $239 would be a bargain

  3397. If the rust is peeling away it is already rotting underneath. Rust provides zero passivational protection. That window was toast anyway and messing with the wire harmed nothing that wasn't already broken.
    7
  3398. Trouble shooting par excellence Ray. You are the man, never taking what is read as gospel. Most people would be ripping out fuel injectors etc to fix problems.But you with your vast experience know to look elsewhere first.excellent first class 👍. Oh,that reminds me to remind you to have a great day 🇬🇷😃👍

  3399. Ford dealership technician here. I've replaced A LOT of ABS HCUs for exactly that complaint. That'd be the first master cylinder replacement I've ever seen that successfully repaired a soft or low pedal complaint on those '11 to '14 body style Edge/MKX vehicles. If you ever do get one of those for a hissing noise complaint and/or loss of brake assist, Ford will cover the brake booster on these particular models as a one time free repair.

  3401. Not to be the Saftey police BUT watch the Ring as my Dad managed to arc his and came crazy close to losing his finger
    7
  3402. I saw 4 lugs with nicely cleaned contact surfaces. Highly functional and reliable. You want a clean top of the lug where it doesn't matter one bit for function? Do it yourself. This is a professional mechanic being paid to get a working truck back on the road and making money for the owner. This isn't a beauty contest.
    7
  3403.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  You could also make extra plates and sell them as merch. Folks in states like mine that only require the rear plate can put them on the front of their vehicles. That way, if your fans take their car to a shop to get repairs done, the techs at that shop will be like "Oh crap, this person watches Ray's videos and will know if I am ripping them off or not."
    7
  3404. Not that you need my approval but I just wanted to say it's so satisfying to see a professional mechanic actually trying to save the customer money, i.e. turning the rotors. Im not a professional anymore but I'm glad to see you doing the small details that most don't these days. Ray you are the embodiment of a true professional. I will submit that if you ever have an opportunity to teach you should, the world needs more people like you.
    7
  3405. A Happy Mothers Day to your Wife! Ray have a great day also! Stay safe and be well.
    7
  3406. When I grow up I hope I’m as perfect as you……Btw Ray nice job
    7
  3407. Stay safe Ray! I hope the storm passes you by and not cause any damage.

  3409.  @trevormangus7832 some do, some don’t. Dealer also sells components such as a pulley, clutch plate, clutch, but all combined equal an entire assembly. Since it was already aftermarket junk, I would not even bother trying for a clutch kit. It might not even go onto an aftermarket compressor.
    7
  3410. As a fellow engineer I'll note that non-engineers just DON'T appreciate ALL THE EFFORT THAT W-A-S SPENT designing that damn vehicle.
    7
  3411. Ray says "you guys count for me" and without even thinking, i start counting, then he cuts in with random numbers, and I think to myself "wtf am I, a 5 year old watching Barney, Ray says count, and I go 1...2....3...." lmfao
    7
  3412. Glad to see you are getting it together so fast. Keep it up.
    7
  3413. Eric is a bad influence🤣
    7
  3414. I get it. In the past 3 weeks, I've spent $40 on my Flowmaster FX Muffler; 3" Inlet, dual 2 1/2" out parts. Then spent $141 for a local shop to install. Wifey picked me up, then dropped me off to get it from the shop. Drove for almost a week, went on a road trip with momma, and she commented "your new exhaust sounds good, baby". Nothing like a momma approved exhaust!!!
    7
  3415. 😂😂😂😂😂 Eric has a great sense of humor.
    7
  3416. Loving the intro Ray! Great work on this one! 🔥👌🔥
    7
  3417. One of the best opens yet!
    7
  3418. Hey Ray ! Just wanted to say your my favorite YouTuber :) Feel smarter everyday watching your videos . I live in a condo and don't have a space to work on my vehicle as often as I please so I'm living vicariously through you !
    7
  3419. Oh my God get this man to a dr asap
    7
  3420. I watch every video and have withdrawal if one doesn't get posted lol. You inspired me to work on my own car I replaced lower control arms and drop links and water pump and timing belt. Thank you Ray. Keep up the great work.

  3422.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  Indeed, and it's amazing what people will type or what bumper stickers they will carry, that has nothing to do with what they'd tell you in person.

  3423.  @fomoco300k  there IS only one race. That is so true.

  3424. Thanks for the video Ray. Don't forget to have a great day!

  3425. Good morning Ray, and Merry Christmas to you, and all in the gang, especially the Unit... and kiddos.

  3426. Broken door jamb wiring is very common on the f150. Seeing it a lot of my 450's now.
    7
  3427. I had my car worked on in the shop the other day and while watching through the viewing window the shop had I saw the technician who was doing the work get his torque wrench out and all I could think was "ohhhhh actual clicks!" Enjoy your videos.
    7
  3428. Got a bone to pick with you Ray. At Walmart this morning one of the restocked dropped her box cutter i looked and said gravity. LOL
    7
  3429. Really appreciate the extra efforts you use to do the job right the first time!
    7
  3430. I like ham and eggs for breakfast 😊❤😍✅

  3432. Very common pentistar 3.6l Issue nice repair sounds pretty good looks like engine was saved from destruction great video as always Raymond @Rainman Ray's Repairs
    7
  3433. Wow, what a story! I haven't watched as many of Rich's videos as I have yours, but that is mainly due to finding them later. It's interesting what drives those of us who fix things. I was fortunate enough to have had a stable life growing up, but more than anything I wanted to be in charge of my own destiny, even as a child. I have always had the drive to fix things and love the endorphin hit that comes with it. As a kid I would rehab and flip bicycles. I still do most of my own car repairs and repaired my business equipment. While I didn't choose automotive as my career path, I did ultimately choose one that satisfied my need to fix things, commercial renovation and construction, also locksmithing. I am retired now, and have moved to a new place. I still get this urge to go back in the locksmith trade, maybe only part time, just to feed that desire. I'm not sure. I always struggled with the concept that most people that needed people like us looked down on us and didn't trust us. I wanted to be trusted and went out of my way to keep it that way. I had one large client since the early 80s, I could have taken advantage of the trust that she put in me but I refused to do it, my reputation and what I thought of myself was far more valuable than making a few more ill gained dollars. I respect and admire both of you!

  3434. Ray's Wednesday words of wisdom; "If you want it done properly, you have to do it yourself"

  3435. I would never assume that business activities can be done during non-business hours/days.
    6
  3436. Not just the parts stores Ray……i drive over the road, heaven forbid you ask someone at a truck stop a question. They act like you’ve inconvenienced THEM, and why do you think they should help YOU!!!
    6
  3437. It's dual purpose. Especially with owning large property or having to do remote work somewhere. I've got a similar setup that I use for when I need to run 110v power tools on site. Cordless tools are nice, but sometimes you have to break out the bigger stuff. And with dual power outlets on either side of my tool box I can make that happen.
    6
  3438. Loving the dramatic music at the unstable battery pop up......i think i laughed too hard at that!!!
    6
  3439. 3:36 holy shit that scared the crap out of me

  3440. Your Spanish is really good man
    6
  3441. Always need a well lubricated shaft😁
    6
  3442. Excellent content sir! I am continually thankful I am a retired mechanic!
    6
  3443. Basically you have to video record (during initial walk around inspection) any clients car when it comes into the shop, because people have a tendency to not tell you everything else wrong with the vehicle, only what they're there for. Always document with video/paper RO listing what's wrong and if client declines the work that too must appear on the RO no exceptions as you have to protect yourself in these litigious times.......
    6
  3444. Having Ray call you out is like having Liam Nesson threatening you.
    6
  3445. 🤣

  3446. So much easier than doing this on the ground! The lift helps the job go soo much more efficient. Driveway mechanics have a lot of heart doing what they have to do to get the job done. Roger in Pierre South Dakota

  3447.  @paulnirschl6500  it's not just military humor, alot of us civilians get it, especially the car guys. It's the liberals who watch SNL that would be triggered by quality humor.

  3449. Ray, a fan of your videos. I come from the Aviaition side of the maintenance industry and just so you know that torquing a fastener spark plug etc. with an uncalibrated Torque Wrench which I assume that yours are as most are in the automotive maintenance industry your fastener will not receive it's correct torque. Also using wobble sockets, swivels, crows feet, and an adjustable headed torque wrench all has to be taken into the specified amount, Torque Specified 20 ft lbs. x Length of the Torque Wrench in a straight line from the middle of the Drive on the Torque Wrench head to the end of the handle on the Torque Wrench = Y correct torque setting on your wrench. In other words if you use a crows foot at 90 degrees to the handle being at 6 o'clock no calculation is needed. My two cents and lubricated torque is minimal when using an out of calibration torque wrench. Greetings from Austria P. S. Extensions twist during torquing is so minimal that an extension will not affect selected torque.
    6
  3450. Lmao. You got the coolest, cutest wife ever. You couldn't get mad at her if you tried
    6
  3451. Osha would be mad at me but they need a warrant love the Song Ray 31:30 @Rainman Ray's Repairs
    6
  3452. Other video is set to private
    6
  3453. The fact that there are not ANY engine codes means there was no prewarning of the engine failure, had it been a fueling issue there would have been a misfire indicated on that cylinder, or a fueling fault idicated ie lean or over rich trouble codes, the fact that the ECU did not pick up on any issues is highly unsual in a total failure like this, it seems like it was an instantanious detonation in number three, where by the piston cracked and became wedged in the cylinder on the up stroke, bent the rod that then broke free, sending the piston up against the valve set and then destroying the block and oil sump
    6
  3454. Happy fathers day to all! I think this was a great release for fathers day showing 2 guys working together to get a car working. wholesome!
    6
  3455. After watching Ray for many months, my tool collection has increased with tools I didn't know I needed. Or didn't know existed.
    6
  3456. Shop is looking great with that wall removed. Project Expansion coming along nicely.
    6
  3457. I haven’t seen one of videos that i didn’t like Ray.Always enjoy and always watch till the end.
    6
  3458. Got to admit you seem happy since you got your own shop, hear it in your voice
    6
  3459.  @robertwingate650  it should not be warrantable because being stupid should not SAVE you money.

  3461. I love AMS OIL products.... I am not paid to "advertise" them.... I use those oils in a plethora of different applications.... Ams Oil not only reaches the level of performance that they state but far exceeds it.... I have used it for instance in a 454 chevy engine and lost 25 degrees on engine oil temperature.... thats just one story I can state about their products.....
    6
  3462. An afternoon entertainment, Thanks Ray. it's a snow day in Wauconda.

  3463. Hey ray those metal clips are for expansion relief not for holding the boards together. They put those in to gap the boards so when they swell in the summer the roof doesn't bow up.
    6
  3464. I already use your Amsoil store
    6
  3465. I smiled today when I remembered where you were not long ago and how far you've come in a short time. Well done👍
    6
  3466.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  yeah you don't seem like the freeloader type to me at all. You're like me, you like to fix stuff and get dirty and work hard for a good living. And I like to help people if or whenever I can, so long as they not geedy freeloaders themselves.
    6
  3467. Thats a 5.45x39 cartridge used in the ak-74 among other things. Good luck finding more of it

    6
  3481. Rule number Ray; don't die at work!
    6
  3482. Sorry to hear that you are not feeling well but glad to see a video of any description just to know nothing too serious is wrong hopefully. Hope that you are feeling better sooner than later.

  3488. Everytime you put your dually on that lift I can see that the driver side of the lift needs to be Re aligned to the Passenger side of the lift its not lifting or dropping evenly at all between lift arms @Rainman Ray's Repairs

  3489. I love the smell of defective oil filters in the morning. Replacing them smells like....victory.
    6
  3490. Ray, you must discontinue confusing viewers with facts. They may never recover.
    6
  3491. Ray, you need to be careful. If you keep making videos like that you might end up being the local go-to guy for Diesel, And THAT.....would be...oh wait...🤣
    6
  3492. 17:57 SET SCREW

  3493. Outstanding work ❤

    6
  3496. A new repressing video from vehicle to lawn ornament!!!
    6
  3497. Ray you're a great tech and I'm so happy I found you years ago. You've taught me a lot and also thank you for fast forwarding the bits where you're drilling rivets or using the self tappers!
    6
  3498. I don't care if you make it 2 hours, i still love your channel Ray.
    6
  3499. Ray Ray you’re gaining subscribers fast!!
    6
  3500. Interesting, never seen a water pump fail on one of these Junkmasters yet. For me it was always the cooling fans that took a shit and caused the overheating issue.
    6
  3501. Super cool what you two are doing for this family. The world needs more mechanics like you. My wife and i live your videos and always look forward to the next.
    6
  3502. You're always gonna get some douche bag being a keyboard warrior in comment land when they're hiding behind a screen.
    6
  3503. Just gravy work Ray, it happens now and then, no thinking or problem solving involved. 👍
    6
  3504. Best of luck with the new shop. Can't wait to see when you get it shined up like a new penny.
    6
  3505. Ray? If your content is addictive? Just call me an addict. Because my day isn’t complete without a hit
    6
  3506. "30 in/lbs" PMSL 😂🤣😂
    6
  3507. I'm fasinated with how fast you've grown, become far more comfortable behind the camera and still stay true. Found you when you were at 90k subs, or so and kept talking about how fast this channel has blown up from 90 to when it first hit 200k. Kinda crazy how many of us love this shit.
    6
  3508. I'm sure Ray will be checking the radiator fluid for exhaust gases using a chemical test kit
    6
  3509. Notification SQUAD, Have a nice weekend!🔥🔥🔥
    6
  3510. I really don't know what it is about this guy exactly but when I start watching one of his videos I can't seem to stop and move on to something else like I almost always do. If I had to guess why I would say he gives me a genuinely nice, humble even though he's a top notch mechanic and an everyday average joe kinda guy. I highly dispise bullshiters, cheats, liars..Ray to me seems like the opposite of all that..yeah that's probably the reason. I literally thank god for people like Ray.
    6
  3511. It’ll for sure start making a creaking and clanking noise when the bushing gets bad enough. It shouldn’t cause anything catastrophic immediately but with a worn enough bushing and a big enough pothole you could eff up your suspension pretty bad

  3512. Notification Squad!🔥🔥🔥 LET'S GOOO!!!🤟

  3513. Ya, several miles he has come.

  3514. Now that's entertainment 😂😂😂. Bet you a Beer I miss those days a lot more than you do! It's been a journey and I love the destination it has brought us to💯💯
    6
  3515. Don’t listen to any of these comments, they’re all Bots

  3516. Fake jeeps are easy to spot… if the doors n top don’t come off it’s a fake Jeep. Hahahahaha jk Cherokee people. But the rest are fake.
    6
  3517. Nice repair Ray! When my wife had a Ford Escape (she had 2 of them) I would do a tune up every 80,000 miles. She never had any issues. I always replace the plugs before the recommend time stated by the manufacture.
    6
  3518.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  "Dodge the Jeep"...I see what you did there Ray 🤣
    6
  3519. They got you alright 👍
    6
  3520. "Gravity". Love it!
    6
  3521. Quite amazing Ray! It is the perfect intro!
    6
  3522. ahh the joys of small business ownership...been there buddy and I totally get it
    6
  3523. Always enjoy watching!
    6
  3524. As a mechanic I like to read the comments. I can tell very quickly who pulls wrenches for a living and who does not.
    6
  3525. PLEASE RAY!!! Don't do these videos. Dipshlts will always find a way to troll. Now they'll say you fixed it, then made this video... Don't take the bait!!! You have always made great content, don't change. Please...
    6
  3526. Looks to be a quality vehicle, for a demolition derby.
    6
  3527. Another great video Ray your one of the best on YouTube but the most important thing is to have your self a great day Ray
    6
  3528. Imagine the solidarity this poor car felt when it figured out your engine was also misfiring from that wawa sandwich
    6
  3529. Yep, safety glasses always prevent harmful explosions... It's science.
    6
  3530.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  Could they not see how it actually covers them in the event the customer claims any damages were made during the repair? I remember a video of yours where the CEL was on when you started up the vehicle and the customer later said it was not on when they brought it in.
    6
  3531. There is a TSB on this. I’ve fixed dozens of these things. Once you do a couple of them, you’ll knock these things out in less than an hour. Remove the steering column in one piece, including the wheel. Do not remove the wheel. Once removed, set the column on the wheel on a bench. Take the box apart, replace bushing, and throw it back in. Parts house has it in stock. Looks like old K’nex toys piece, or an asterisks. Easy money, bro!
    6
  3532. The AvE torque wrench...CLICK!
    6
  3533. Ray, you and the missus (Wife Unit) are rock stars! Great looking couple, bro.
    6
  3534. The beach sand here in MI will "sing" when you drive on it depending on moisture content...
    6
  3535. Hey Ray, love the vids. Your workmanship is great. Ignore the 'scamin sam's' of the world. keep up the good work.
    6
  3536.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  looking forward to it seems pretty affordable.
    6
  3537. It's always great when the wobbly bits come out.
    6
  3538. Love the videos! I'll bring my car in for brakes!
    6
  3539. Now that's bad ass!!! The motor in that has to be pushing 1000-1200 ponies! Damn!!!
    6
  3540. No point in cleaning It Off... just going to mess it up again😏
    6
  3541. Ray, Good luck with your own shop! Hope to see loads of good video's and doo-de-lee-doo's from you in the future! Best wishes from The Netherlands!
    6
  3542. When you ask us a question, do we answer you in your head?
    6
  3543. Your energetic and happy attitude is so infectious. I'm sitting here smiling like an idiot 😅
    6
  3544. Hey Ray.. Anemometer would be a great cheap tool to use as an airflow measurement. I seen on the A site for $35. But great work with the temp test. We do the same thing in HVAC for filter driers to see for being clogged. Stay safe and be well. Have a great rest of the day.
    6
  3545. The feeling of being brain dead is really an odd feeling. How the brain continues to give the impression you’re ok, not ok, ok, not ok is surreal. Part of the autonomic system?
    6
  3546. It sounds like you and I have the same condition. I call it situation anxiety. Ever since this storm, it's been driving me nuts. I still can't go home. No power, no water. No food. It's bad where I love in SC.
    6
  3547. Most epic one yet you're the best and most important have your self a great day
    6
  3548. 10:04 Ray: Lady... "I never banged a Tahoe in my life".... LOL.. me neither... too funny Ray Thanks for the trip down memory lane in the mad house with the checkered tiled floors and the non stop ringing phones ..
    6
  3549.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  no matter how you do your job, you will always be wrong according to the youtube comments
    6
  3550. 14:20 "Something's not right... It went in very easily" That's hilarious!
    6
  3551. Oh nooo Ray has multiple personality disorder. 😂😂😂 The picture of you deserved a tappy tap on the Like button. ;)
    6
  3552. You put the floor mat in the wrong way. LOL
    6
  3553. Good afternoon. Tear down these walls Ray. Looking forward to this video.🔨
    6
  3554. I like how wife unit had to "lefty loosey" as she decided how to untwisterate the oil filter :)
    6
  3555. the customer may have been a pain in the ass, but you have to give it to him, the underside of that car is in great condition for a old car. grand marquis and crown vics usually turn to rust buckets, i know mine did. at least he keeps care of his car and keeps it well maintained.
    6
  3556. Awww, c'mon Ray...it ain't THAT old! ( 'Antique!!?)
    6
  3557.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  Then you have my unreserved apologies Ray, drown those parts lol.
    6
  3558. Love your videos Ray. I'm not quite sure about your formula for making videos that I find so appealing. I don't know if it's the casual trolling. I don't know if it's the du te do's from the phone. The bolt/flashlight gravity , I really like the root for the gravity to win. Well there's my comment for the for the algorithm lol. May you do well in all your future endeavors.
    6
  3559. I love that work sign at 9:10 says warning to avoid injury don't tell me how to do my job.
    6
  3560. "this is the most important fastener on the whole car" .. "i call it the kill people bolt", Gives it the verbal torque click.
    6
  3561. Dang Ray.. You are playing dangerous games with that waterbottle.... 😂
    6
  3562. To be honest, I’ve never seen this procedure done before. I have only seen this done with the engine out of the car on a stand. Very interesting! Roger in Pierre South Dakota
    6
  3563. I like the sketch video intro Ray!!!!
    6
  3564. HeyRay! Big truck mechanic here. I work on small cars and hate them due to SMALL but I enjoy the hell out of your videos. The fact you care about your customers says it all! RLTW
    6
  3565. Cool intro Mr. Ray!!!
    6
  3566. Gale Banks is not only an innovator but also a super cool guy. 👍🏻 Merica’! 🇺🇸
    6
  3567. FIRSTTTTTTTTT🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
    6
  3568. One of the more interesting tests Banks did was on rear axle covers shape and the effects on the gear oil. Very revealing.
    6
  3569. I justed wanted Ray to know because of yesterday's video I subscribed. I have been watching Ray for awhile I felt Rays message was heart felt so I wanted to subscribe. Thanks for doing what you do and the wife unit for her help running the business. This was a good video today seemed shorter then what it was.
    6
  3570. Ur halarious!😂🤣 Thats a big ass trailer! Glad u made it safe & sound. Liked the camera angles too!😁 I learned about rv'ing.
    6
  3571. I've watched many of these garage channels from the USA but have now elected only to follow this one now as Ray seems to be a good operator. I don't understand why so many people seem to have no loyalty and jump from fixer to fixer. My advice is find a good one, build a relationship based on openness and honesty and stick with them. Machines need to be maintained so don't wait until they are completely knackered before you visit your garage.
    6
  3572. An electrician you are not.... Should look up how to splice wires Before doing so. That would be More Better.
    6
  3573. Best investment you can make is good tools. Wise decision Ray.
    6
  3574. My car always seems to go faster after a good detailing, so looks do matter.
    6
  3575. Best community service video opening ever!
    6
  3576. Happy Independence Day Ray
    6
  3577. From someone like me that's a combat wounded veteran with a purple heart, I appreciate you putting this perspective out there
    6
  3578.  @ryans413  Isn't the spectrum great sometimes?
    6
  3579. Eric O says thats one month of rust in New York 🤣 and just think we celebrate Salt Life down here 🤣👍
    6
  3580. Hey Ray, I enjoy your diagnostic videos most of all. Please, never feel like these aren't useful to post.
    6
  3581. I think you’re smart. I think you do pretty well with electricals, maybe great compared to many mechanics. I also think you would not only benefit, but actually *enjoy*, digging deeper into electrical theories and electronics… if you had the time and inclination. Not from “auto” electronics courses, and not from “car stereo” folks, but from actual electronics courses. I’m pretty darn sure you’d enjoy it, because it lines up with the way your brain works. Not the whole (time consuming) college program, just getting the… flow of things. The first and middle bits.
    6
  3582. I'm hoping everyone down there dealing with the aftermath of that storm are all safe and hopefully they are dry, warm and have food in their bellies. That's people and animals alike. Take care Ray I'm happy to see you and your family are ok.
    6
  3583. There's definitely a lot of junk out there when it comes to radiators. Seems to be one of those things that's gotten worse.
    6
  3584. Several years ago, I had 3 new radiators in 2 weeks. 2 brand new radiators were faulty. They got a different brand radiator and it was ok. It was a real pain in the A**.
    6
  3585. Congratulations on your vow renewal, on your unscathed workshop, and on the fact that you are back at work. Seeing the two of you working like this is like watching a couple of teenagers fixing their car.
    6
  3586. I was still subscribed, I checked. Good video 👍🏻🇺🇲
    6
  3587. Hi! First time as 1st!
    6
  3588. My condolences for your loss!! 😥 Had to do that a few years ago. Had my Shepard about the same time. Broke my heart!!
    6
  3589.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  Really sorry to hear that. My heart goes out to you and your family. Eleven years is a long time, especially for kids.
    6
  3590. Happy Saturday Ray and Cody.
    6
  3591.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  Noticed that.
    6
  3592. Ray: So glad you are back. Can't wait to see the video. Hope there are no linguering ailments. I was fatigued as all get out for a week or so.. Stay well.
    6
  3593. Seal against water leaks!
    6
  3594. This is Bob LD'S husband. You are incredible Ray. Love watching your videos. I remember when ALL cars had grease fittings on suspension and u-joints. Things change, and sometimes not for the better. For the record, I agree about exchanging all the fluids, just part of taking car of the vehicle You folks all stay safe..

    6
  3597. Hope you are prepared for the weather headed your way
    6
  3598. Excellent point on booster replacement. My dad drilled in my head being a mechanic is all about process and detail. He said you can really hurt somebody by being inattentive and ignoring detail and process. On the other hand you can also waste time and money
    6
  3599. That's why I never install Chinese products in my vehicles. Aston Martin learned that in a very expensive way.

  3602. I used to be a mechanic instructor, hat off to your video. I can't even do it with the camera in one hand talking about doing a commentary all at once. You rock, Ray..! Thank you.
    6
  3603. I’m a mechanic in Australia 🇦🇺, great video, I know where your coming from mate, people will always judge from the sidelines, it’s difficult when your the guy fixing the damm thing
    6
  3604. Found your channel and can't watch enough, I'm hooked. Love it! I'm subscribed. I'm old school and wouldn't even attempt to work on my own cars much less anyone else's. You are really good and more than that you are entertaining too. Keep up the good work Ray.... :)
    6
  3605.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  I had a question about that too... i got a chuckle.

  3612. I was trying to tell you the screw you put on the battery was going to fall into the abyss but you couldn't hear me.... You need to go get a checkup because I was even pointing right at it... Eventually I just threw my hands in the air and said this guy's blind and deaf... You just can't help some people.

  3615. Holy crap! Hilarious! Thank you Ray! I needed that 🤘
    6
  3616. But those "silly iguanas" don't like the climate any colder than 53 degrees' Ray !!! They'll appreciate the heater too !!!😁😂...
    6
  3617. Nice work on that scammer video Ray.
    6
  3618. Monday, Monday So good to me. Watching Ray working on a Police cruiser talking about meniscus of the transmission fluid. It was all I hoped it would be. 😅
    6
  3619. ''I Rate Pliers'' sounds kinda apt considering Rays promotion of them
    6
  3620. I gotta tell you man. When you only listen to the video, the things you say can really be an HR nightmare without context.
    6
  3621. These are what I look forward to every morning when I wake up, thank you Ray
    6
  3622.  @icantsaywhat  totally agree with you, even said that in my comment… however, go back and watch again.. ray says 33.33333 degrees not percentage.. everyone needs to go watch again to add to rays watch hours… plus all these comments help his analytics as well…

  3623. THIS is our gearhead Community, help is flying in, fast! Even $20 will help! Get this young Man back to doing what we all Love! Good Luck, Ryan, you have friends you may never know!

  3624. You are truly a great man Ray! My thoughts and prayers for Ryan and his family.

    6
  3627. Oh we can all feel that transmission 😥
    6
  3628. Ray, I totally enjoy your videos. I am so amazed at how people treat a very expensive piece of machinery like trash. I grew up in the auto business. My dad was a Firestone tire distributor. There was a small parts store and a small shop where tires were mounted etc. However I was taught how to take care of an automobile. I currently own a 2013 Mustang Convertible (purchased pre-owned) a 2015 Subaru Outback. and a 2021 Subaru Ascent. I do maintenance on my vehicles that probably very few do. I change the engine oil every 3 months, regardless of mileage (usually 200 miles or less. I have had the transmission fluid changed on both the Outback and Mustang (both very low mileage), the transfer case fluid and the differential fluid changed in the Outback, and recently the differential fluid in the Mustang. Cooling system services have been done, brake systems are flushed every 2 years. Currently I am in the process of having all the cooling system hose changed. My idea is to avoid break downs.

  3630. I would like to be honest I have learn from you from tips and tricks also other professional advices I thank you sir safety is always first. I appreciate your good videos
    6
  3631. They usually belong to the insurance company if it was an insurance job. They will determine what to do with the old parts, though most likely they would want the panel beater to dispose of them if they have no value. If not an insurance claim, then they should go to the repairer as it would be them that are dealing with the owner of the vehicle. Either way I think they will be left in the tray for the repairer to do what they need to do with them. If it was a job the customer bought direct to the mechanic, they would probably turf it or put it in the metal scrap bin. I have never got a part back from a mechanic or panel beater. I have had a mechanic show me an expensive faulty part or two though. That's my experience here in Australia. I don't know what happens in the USA.

    6
  3634. Well said Ray👍 May the new Year bring peace and prosperity to you and your family ✌️
    6
  3635. I like how you rotated the butt splice to the strong side for the point of the crimper to not spread the lugs. Good move.
    6
  3636. Love the videos ray can't wait to see the next one 😂🕜

  3637. Being a small business owner for the past 7 years. I'll clue you, it's normal to stick to your guns when it comes to supporting your ideas. Being on your own is way better. I own my own HVAC company. I work more but don't put up with crap. Every year I have to fire a customer for thier attitude and in some cases entitled I'm special personality. I deal with more great folks then bad. Just a word to let you know I certainly appreciate you sharing your knowledge about vehicles. Thank you & God bless you and your family.

  3641. My dad also was in the Battle of The Bulge. In fact he was wounded by shrapnel and was awarded the Purple Heart. Unfortunately he was killed in a car accident in 1966 and I never got a chance to talk to him about the war. God bless all our armed forces!
    6
  3642. I have to admit. When I seen the light bar, cracked bezel, and lose screw above cluster. I thought it was a wiring issue. Figured it was incorrectly wired by a dyi. Plot twist. Thanks Ray. I miss those easy light bulb changing days. Mine are soldered too. Ugh
    6
  3643. Another Great Video Ray! My Wife walked in while I was watching the other day, and she enjoyed your work and your entertaining way of working and is now a new Subscriber! :)
    6
  3644. Highlight of my morning: getting to tappy tap the thumbs up button in exchange for being reminded to not forget to remember to have a good day
    6
  3645. That camera angle of oil draining was 🤤
    6
  3646. Great Video! I just ran through this same problem a week or so ago. Out of the five shops in the tiny town that I live in, none of them turn drums and rotors anymore (they used to). I was told that there wasn't any money in it, it was to expensive, the cheap rotors being produced today ruins the expensive bits, I would be better off just replacing them, it would be cheaper etc. The problem was that these were fairly new rotors. I had to have them turned because the vehicle they were on hadn't been driven all summer and one of the calipers had frozen unbeknownst to me until I noticed the smoke and the smell. I fixed the frozen caliper problem but now I had a warped rotor. I finally found a shop 25 miles from my home that turned them for me at $15 each (replacement cost is $55 - $65 each side). This is truly a lost art as well as being able to rebuild your alternators and starters. Unfortunately, it's a throw away world that we live in led by greedy corporations that apparently hate for people to repair what you have instead of replacing it. I agree that there comes a time when replacing worn parts is warranted but if they can be resurfaced/repaired it's better. Better for your wallet and better for the environment. What's with not being able to buy rotors made in the USA??

  3647. Think that orange hose was the supposed kinked one referenced in owners notes

  3651. The fleet account is a great win! Hopefully they have a preference on who works on it (you). Keeps you invaluable with your current employer and adds value to a prospective employer, If you ever need to parts ways with your current employer and this account follows you.
    6
  3652. Hell yeah Ray!! That's awesome! It's nice to see you being appreciated for your quality work! 👏👏👏
    6
  3653. Why so serious?
    6
  3654. Whats the thing on the dash?
    6
  3655. Love them dam pliers! Anybody who works on this junk all day like you can say whatever you need to say as far as I’m concerned. I worked in Industrial maintenance all my life, totally understand. If some viewers get a lil pissy about what you call this junk they never have had the pleasure have they? Love your videos man.
    6
  3656. Superb - love the occasional double entendres
    6
  3657. It's an awesome feeling to fix something that has been hard to figure out. Makes you think you made a major accomplishment which you have another personal victory for Ray
    6
  3658. Hi Ray, Well done on getting the shed to run again. It’s nice to see you work on the vehicles that most repair shops would just say “scrap it”. I know they are old and bit’s falling/fell off it, but if it runs and the wheels turn, then it erns money for someone. Say Hi to wife unit from myself, and also look forward to the shop renovation. Question for you Ray?. Do you have another guy working for you?. When you were under a car the other day, on the left side ramp, I could see two Denham clad legs walking back and forth, over near the new part of the garage, or is it a worker doing the renovation work. Just wondering!!
    6
  3659. Common sense is still in short supply. Critical thinking is no allowed, how dare you. Reeeee Keep up the great work Ray!

  3660. Renewd my subscription and added a channel membership. Don't let anyone tell you what you have to think. Not the left, not the right, not the dog and certainly not the cat.

  3663. Knocking the car off the rack could potentially violate rule number one.

  3664. Ray. Your annunciation is so good that it is easy to watch you at 1.5x and follow everything perfectly. But it skews my brain when I am working on similar items myself. "Why is this taking so long... oh, yeah". Love your channel. Please do not dwell too much on the negative. I think the injector rebuild factory was a cool outcome of your openness and honesty.

  3665. I was a carpenter at large university for 36 years. All the plumbers, and fitters had those angry pliers. Borrowed them a couple times for door hardware that was seized, bought my own years ago, I’m retired now and still use them occasionally at home for stuff !
    6
  3666. Appreciate you making these videos, as you know, Florida has no mandatory inspection and a lot of these type vehicles are on the road and shouldn’t be.
    6
  3667. When I started wrenching, I bought a Craftsman mechanic set. Started making money, bought Gearwrench/Matco as needed. Started making better money, started buying Snap On. It's a lot of money, but their tools are a LOT of quality for that money. Does a home/DIY person need Snap On? Hell no. But if you are doing the work professionally, that quality starts making a BIG difference in how efficiently you can do your work without worry about your tools being up for the task at hand.
    6
  3668. I am happy that your channel is growing and you have people subscribing daily you're going UP. Kudos man...
    6
  3669. Good stuff Ray. Have a great weekend 👍🇬🇧

  3670. Here is a first comment, for the Algorithm.
    6
  3671. I had a drive shaft come loose after replacing U-Joints. It beat the hell out of my new exhaust system as it bounced along the pavement. Good thing it was a 4 wheel drive truck. So I could drive it back home. Didn’t apply thread lock on the bolts, didn’t know you had to do that. That’s why I soon left the mechanical issues to the professional mechanics.

  3672. Glad I don't have to deal with your customers but you seems to be a straight shooter and kind to fix the battery clamp issue so much respect. On the comment you made that customers always seem suspicious, there is a good reason for that. If more dealerships and repair shops were like you and cared then there would be more trust and respect given to the industry. They don't call them Stealerships for nothing. Keep Up the excellent work it is appreciated.
    6
  3673. I really love that you came up in my feed. Your videos fill a gap in my Youtube that was left by stopping watching Scotty Kilmer videos. I just got sick of his condescending attitude. I love how positive you are even in this situation where someone was possibly trying to con you guys into repairs. 👍🏼🤜🏻
    6
  3674. Brilliant channel Ray love all your content
    6
  3675. Now we know how to bait Ray to reply to a comment
    6
  3676. And here I thought I was living in the future having already seeing a newly posted video. That's for making me think I've been to the future Ray.....😂

  3677. Just FYI. Ran a large city fleet maintenance for two years and used BG products frequently. Had a high mileage Chevy S-10 that was running pretty rough so put a can of the BG 44K in the gas tank. It knocked enough of the carbon buildup off the valves and piston tops that the engine ran smoother and was a lot stronger. Big fan and a positive testimonial for BG products, I like that stuff.
    6
  3678. Very well done Ray. Perfect explanation and procedure. It’s a pleasure being your BG Products partner.
    6
  3679. This is a procedure I strongly recommend for GDI engines every 30k miles. I use instead the Seafoam twin kit. The long straw goes right infront of the Throttle Body. The spray can lasts for about 10 minutes while your partner holds the rpms near 2.5 k. The other can goes in the tank. The procedure is really good for high mileage vehicles to help clean up the nastys in the intake manifold and carbon buildup. The kit is about $18 @ WM.
    6
  3680. I love your service vids using specialized equipment. Any chance you can get before and after fuel injector/system readings? I think that would be a very good addition to your video. Keep on keepin on Ray.
    6
  3681. You know you're in Florida when Step 0 of any car checkup is "This AC better work or you're gonna die" But definiltely the wall noise trick is very useful. We had an issue with a rock in the brake pad or something and while it was loud on the outside, inside the card we couldn't hear anything odd. We just happened to roll down the windows and one side of the street is all just a giant wall and we heard this god awful noise and paniced.

  3682. time to dust the gauges

  3683. An engine would drip oil for weeks if left without the pan. I 100% believe he replaced that pan gasket. As for the oil seeping out as he tightened it. Let's assume each one of you is correct, and it will definitely leak because of this. This would mean that every single oil filter that had the oring lubed with oil will always leak. The rubber seal creates a seal regardless of the presence of oil. Debris would be the only thing that would cause the seal to leak shortly after. You don't want oil when using a liquid gasket such a silicone/permatex. Choose to believe me or not, but there won't be a comeback any time soon for an oil leak.
    6
  3684. I see you're getting a lot of use out of your new Milwaukee ratchet that you bought for that 3 valve spark plug job a couple weeks ago. I personally enjoy the $80 Chinese/ebay/Amazon knockoff impacts, but I'm just a driveway guy, not a pro.
    6
  3685. Ray I work at a Honda dealership we had a customer with that body style accord couldn’t find the leak. Dyed the system and of all things finally the tech put the black light on the puddle of water out of the drain and saw dye from the evaporator . We have done our share of evaporators on that generation of accord.
    6
  3686. Great series - keep em coming!
    6
  3687. Do you understand Ray, that after watching your videos for the past year I now go through a crazy amount of Brake Clean. I believe I have a problem and now need a 12 step program. Thank you for the videos Mr. Ray!
    6
  3688. Been watching your content for a few months now... JUST Subbed and will continue to watch! BTW Thank you for being HONEST in the respect of the customer. That could have gone a whole lot worse for there pocket!

  3689. You say installing it was a bit of a contortionist’s job, but how else are you gonna know you’re working on the car correctly

  3694. As a Subaru tech, I agree that job sucks! Only because it's a turbo, therefore the stretch belt & 2nd air pump; the NA compressors are a breeze, single drive belt. I wish engineers would have to touch these things too.
    6
  3695. Love you'er videos! Make car repair fun and entertaining keep up the good work and never stop!!! No REEE here ^_^
    6
  3696. This is a good one! I much enjoyed this one, gives me some insight on boat trailer disc jobs
    6
  3697. Ray, you rocked our batteries with this episode! So electrifying! Always reminding us our cables can be the root cause of our sluggishness! ⚡⚡⚡⚡
    6
  3698. Its the internet, Ray. Maturity is not a strong suit on the internet. It is definitely a good, mature attitude to be willing to hear someone out.
    6
  3699.  mary jane  actually putting a couple lugs on would have hindered him. him twisting the wheel to apply tension was the only way to stop the lug/stud from spinning as he was drilling. the other lugs would have center the one being drilled and not allowed anything to stop it from spinning. Well that's a lie eventually the rim could have gotten hot enough from the spinning and melted some and locked the nut in place. Been looking at everyone's suggestions and criticism in this thread and they either wont work or would lead to some sort of damage. Fact is the way the wheel and hub are made some sort of minor damage is unavoidable in this instance.

  3703. Just something to note on those f150s because it’s happened to me before but always check the evaporator temp sensor and make sure it’s reading right. If not and it says it’s warmer then it is then it’ll constantly run the compressor and eventually smoke the clutch tho honestly not as spectacular as that junk compressor. Great job as always

  3705. I know you are excited, yet anxious, about your new business. It's gonna take a while, but you will eventually get things up and running as you would like. Just take it at a comfortable pace and do it wisely. Don't feel inadequate if you need to reach out for help with things that you are not completely confident in. Praying for you Ray. Glad you have a wife that is so willing to help you. That makes things easier for you.

  3711. Congratulations Ray, you are making a mark in the YouTube world given the amount of bot advertising that is showing up in your threads. Congratulations!! Love your videos and apparently so do the bots. Lol!
    6
  3712. Absolutely crazy how fast your channel is growing. Good Job!
    6
  3713. I started to leave a nasty comment in the beginning of the video. But stoped and decided to give you the benefit of doubt. Cause I was sure that you wouldn’t have done that to someone
    6
  3714. Dude, it’s Florida. Pot holes are the size of a city block. 😂
    6
  3715. Awesome thanks!

  3716. yeah, man, good comments. Family first, then what your desires need doing,,

  3717. Notification Squad!🔥🔥🔥 Here again🤣👌

  3718. I guess the sticker is referring to those holding the American flag in one hand and the confederate flag in the other. They really don't belong together but there is a growing population who think they do.
    6
  3719. I remember when I first assembled a Ford Escort engine back in the 80s.Headbolt tightening sequence is 44 ft.lb. + 90 degrees + 90 degrees, it allways felt like the bolt was going to break on the second 90 deg. I still hate torque to yield head bolts!

  3720.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  discovered your channel while sitting the deer blind. This video, with your statement about the bumper sticker and your explanation in the comments, is why I subscribed.

  3721. I'm reaching down with one hand and grabbing the unit....... Yeah that's what she said

  3722. That’s deep

  3723. Good day to you Ray
    6
  3724. Huh. Came to see if there was a new Rainman vid, and looky! A one minute old video. Hope you're having a great day, fella.
    6
  3725. Hey Ray, the split video ( on screen link) worked fine on my Big screen Android TV and also on my iPhone. Great series on this vehicle lots of learning points. Thanks for another always interesting and fun adventure in your ever evolving auto shop. Loved the after hours cocktail hour the other day. A well deserved bit of down time from within your shop as the sun was setting. It was just beautiful. Cheers, G.

  3726. You got pooped on by a pterodactyl/dinosaur!

  3728. Double dipping today!!!!! Thanks.

  3729. Have a good weekend Ray.
    6
  3730. Your little Pro bono repair is a rarity these days. Thus is why I like watching your channel.
    6
  3731. I’d much rather own this old ford with the straight six than a new complex monster like those being sold today. Thanks for showing you working on it. Reminds me of my early F100 with the 240 six in it.
    6
  3732. Cheers Australia! 🍻
    6
  3733. A lot of people do not take exhaust leaks seriously. I do. I have refused to drive several big rigs due to exhaust leaks siphoning into the cab. Bosses did not like it, i did not appreciate the death trap, thanks. I mean they were diesel, so the exhaust stinks so bad you can hardly gas yourself but I still got exposed and felt like crap afterwards. Good work man. Good mechanics are hard to find.
    6
  3734. The super secret 2nd channel is where the shenanigans happen.
    6
  3735. Damn I'm jealous AF. I wanna be your friend too Ray. ☹️ Lololol I'm not an auto tech, but I'm a journeyman Shipfitter with over 30 years exp. Maybe that counts? Kind of? A little bit? 🤣😂 Love your channel my dude! If I lived down there, I would love to be able to take my rigs to you for all needed maintenance and repairs!! 👍🏼👍🏼
    6
  3736. Thank you Ray. Blessings to Rich and you and your families. Your stories are pure grit and gold. Luv you guys
    6
  3737. Thanks to both your and Rich for sharing each other's stories. I know I do spend a lot of time listening to you guys, and knowing the backgrounds adds a lot to the experience.
    6
  3738. Well done! Both of you guys have great backstories. Hard work and dedication right here! See the good in the good technicians, not just focus on the bad apples, people. Then you'll find guys like this, and there are many more out there. Have a great day! 🐺🔧
    6
  3739. You told Rich's story so well Ray. Thank you guys for letting people know they’re not alone in similar situations.

  3743. Who keeps broken parts to test faulty future parts? Brilliant, but now I'm kicking myself for not keeping parts....
    5
  3744. LOL, you spent more time trying to figure out the technology than you did doing the actual oil change.
    5
  3745. Three of us were saying that! And topside the change, it is easier. I think all the German cars have gone to topsiding but I’m not sure. I know I topside my VWs.
    5
  3746.  @Rob_Nasty  He already showed in a different video where he took his dirty closed and wiped and pressed on a clean sheet of white paper. The paper did not pick up any colors or stains from the dirty gloves. The gloves absorb the oil and dirt and do not release it onto other surfaces.
    5
  3747. Thanks to you and your videos, I never forget to have a great day! But seriously, from a shade tree mechanic who used to turn wrenches professionally, I really enjoy the videos! Keep up the good work and I hope the independent shop treats you better than your previous gig!
    5
  3748. 24:28 with the mashup of your commentary & the music dramatic finish and restart was rather amusing. But yes, being able to hear you is good!
    5
  3749. Common issue... Customers come in for one thing. Then come back and their check engine light is on. Or the light was on.. Problem is. If I suspect a scam...I hookup the scanner and check to see if the Codes have been reset. Then make a backup of the VIN..Same thing if the check engine light is on.. And make damn sure the service ticket reflects the light was on..Customer did not want that looked at....
    5
  3750. Excuse me sir. I am the non binary woman who you just talked crap about. How dare you assume my gender and that CEL was not on 😡. Also, love the channel 🥰
    5
  3751. When I take my motorbike in for service, there is a full walk around and everything catalogued, right down to a failed LED element in one of my lights. Pics and video too. All before it even enters the service bay. I suspect the shop has learned from folks trying to scam repairs/service on what are very expensive [overpriced] bikes. Good thing you had it all on video.

  3753. I have watched a lot of Rays video`s really like them but noticed something strange has happened, I pulled my caliper on my SUV to check the pads but when I tightened it down at the end I said "click". Is this normal behavior or something more diabolical happening to me?

  3761. I love watching these
    5
  3762. I have indeed found this video to be very moderately educational. And certainly Exceptionally entertaining and informative. Thank you Mr Rainman Ray for your video offering today . I humbly suggest you add the title of Professor to your Title . Thanks
    5
  3763. Good Job! Thanks. 1 Nit pick ... I cringed when you used a Steel Flat-Blade Screwdriver to remove a small pit of the Transmission Pan gasket in that Suburban you rescued from the "Scammers". Like you, I also appreciated the "3rd-Hand" gaskets. As a EE, I am a confessed OCD type. I am NOT a mechanic, but just did the 120K Service on a 2003 RX300 SUV I bought a couple of years ago with 112K on the clock. FYI ... even some OEMs "SCAM" us. e.g. Millions of servo/acutators for heat & A/C are dying 'cause they do NOT gold plate the Printed Circuit Board inside and they "short out" due to "Copper "Dust" all over the place. $50 OEM part ... & $1,000 or more to disassemble the dash to replace it. TIP I sprayed all 3 of mine with WD-40 ( with a needle / Syringe delivery tool into the area at the pivot point. Still working over a year now ... BUT as you say no way you or a shop could warranty such an action. Videos like yours give me helpful knowledge and techniques ... PLUS the courage to tackle tougher challenges. I have done perhaps 90% of the services and many sensor / part changes ... plus the Xmission Pan-Drop & Filter changes on both, plus the Solenoid Pack on the old 1992 Caravan. It was a new unit provided by an employer back then. BTW ... Just now figured out how to add this comment ... WAAAAAYYY down below all the "Ads" Just recently, re-worked 4 faulty grounds, plus opened the BCM and resoldered a few "Cold" joints on the '92 Dodge ... no codes ... just chased the more obvious symptoms. e.g. No gauges, no door chime, etc. Were it sent to typical shops, the repairs would have cost perhaps 2-3X the street value of the Van. But it is a fine backup and acts as a "Water-Proof-Pickup-Truck for all of us here in this niche of River City. :-) Warm Regards to all, John in the NW

  3784. I really enjoy watching your videos. I wish I didn't have the one repair shop which will not be named here that ruined my trustworthiness of a lot of mechanics I see nowadays. I think you are one of the more honest people I have seen at least from your videos and I wish more people were like you. Thank you for your work and everything you do. Maybe one day I can start trusting mechanics again if I meet someone that has your mindset and morals

  3787. I bought a 2011 chysler 200 with only 77,000 miles a few weeks ago... It was fine and cheap,.. After test driving and paying.. Within a few MILES the check engine light, a/c started to fail, one headlight went out...a weird nail polish smell emitting.. NO WAY MAN. I returned that POS for a full refund. Ended up with a 2006 Accord with 155k, couldn't be happier with the thing.

    5
  3791. ray, i might be able to assist when your behind him he still has light on, just before he floors it the first time. can i use that and maybe get a plate number to enhance that image. also, i know you have a backup and front dash cam. can you do an install video on them? i know i would be interested in that. thank you for reading this, will help in any way i can and would donate money to favorite charity this time of year.

  3802. 11pm viewing before bed, worth it.
    5
  3803.  @jima7925  You miss the point. This is a job that simply can't be done in the flat rate time. And pushing these jobs on to the young techs is nothing more than taking advantage of their inexperience. That burns them out and makes for a lousy shop atmosphere. The real fix is for the shop to put a more realistic flat rate on this job.

    5
  3816. I did this exact job in my driveway and replaced with all greaseable U-Joints. I marked all the parts and put it together the same way it came apart and didn't need to balance. It took me a few hours to do the job completely solo. Hardest part was getting the old u-joints out. No vibration at all.

  3817. " IT WAS LIKE THAT WHEN I GOT HERE."... Replacement for the sweat shirts in the merchandise store.

  3828. I've done so many freaking oil cooler assemblies on these and had to replace the same one multiple times because of junk units ...... finally a junk Chinese unit fixed it

  3837. That "temporary gain" aspect of take their money and smile is precisely what is wrong with the vast majority of businesses these days. It's all about quarterly gains and stockholder dividends, future be damned - and as the current issues with unobtanium parts and insanely long backorders and lead times is showing, it is a HUGE mistake.
    5
  3838. It is a "Snap off" tool now....

  3839. I hope troy watches these video's, it will help him reach rust whisperer status sooner and maybe save his knuckles and nerves for other endeavors.

  3840. Right hand injury. You will learn to hate buttons and doorknobs. Try and pull up your pants with one hand. You stay safe and get better!

  3843.  @forgetfulme1719  I ramble at my wife she seems to only hear certain things. Like food and credit card and target.

  3844. My car recently had a whining noise too, the next time I drove it I left her at home and the problem was solved. :)
    5
  3845. 8:25 I bought those same snap on pliers about a month ago and they are awesome! Hope you like them as much as I do.

  3851. FBM - RMR - PTT here we come internet!
    5
  3852. Because RTV is short term solution when it comes to coolant. The thermal cycling, as well as the coolant chemicals don't allow RTV to stay sealed.
    5
  3853. I feel for you Ray! Some folks see to have a bad case of cranial rectal inversion. Hopefully you can weather this storm and come out fine. Love your mechanical expertise!
    5
  3854. Black gold, Texas tea! Really love the work you've done to the Silverado! A clean rust free dually it's better then new.
    5
  3855. Opinions abound on soldering, welding, and now trailer loading, the life of being an internet personality can't be easy. Love your content and keep it coming.
    5
  3856. You did it the correct way. Never seen so many derogatory nonsense from people who clearly enjoy your videos. If you just look at the grammar and spelling, these aren't the sharpest tools in the shed.

  3857. 5k to Aug 3... and 50k+ by Sep 26. Son, there's a rocket strapped to your back and I, for one, am proud to be part of your fuel. Keep it up my friend =D

  3866. I work at Autozone here in FL actually. The commercial manager in my store NEVER works on Sunday and they're the only ones who can actually get an account set up. We always have someone on the clock who can SELL to preexisting commercial accounts so for stores to have employees working who are completely commercial ignorant is pretty inexcusable. We do have paper forms to fill out and return so they should've at least been able to give you one of those, but yea you would have had to bring it back during the week when a commercial manager was on duty. As for everyone else taking digs at us parts store employees there's alot of us that actually DO know what we're doing, and there's alot you YOU that shouldn't be DIY. It's a parts store not an auto shop or an advice center for DIY. So if you're going to DIY be prepared to know what you're talking about and requesting the right parts to get your job done correctly.

  3867. Hi! Hope everyone is having a good day!

  3868. Let's go 🚐

  3869. I am glad to hear the sarcasm returning to your videos. It means you are getting back into the swing of things.

  3875. What's your opinion on Ram trucks with the Hemi durability wise?

  3881. Ray You be a gutsy dude. . Yet you got it done. With a flair of creativity, safety was always your concern. And you looked out for your coworkers. You be a real cool dude.
    5
  3882. These wreck repair videos are so awesome. Some of the most interesting. It’s crazy what lengths insurance companies will go to save money and not total a car.
    5
  3883. "Just back up some".... waaaay nicer than the things I was saying. Thought for sure he was gonna end up good dipped in ranch. Especially the way he popped under there after the load shifted. Fantastic patience in a high stress repair.
    5
  3884. O'Reillys has a replacement Flux capacitor available in their app....
    5
  3885. Sad how many people have never had a job on a farm or ranch, maybe the farmers should not send food to town since no one will fix the farm truck. It has all the clues to tell you it is a farm truck, room for saddle and feed in the front, bridle, tie downs for hay. Sad how so many people have no idea how the rest of the world lives and works.
    5
  3886. This was a really interesting video. A very clean engine bay too for the age, that car's been very well looked after 👍👍💯
    5
  3887. Notification SQUAD! Have a nice weekend!🔥🔥🔥
    5
  3888. Ultimately the blame lies with the thief. A parts store employee somewhere compounded that by not caring enough about their job (or it was an inside job). But yes, the majority of the blame is with the thief who set this all in motion in the first place.
    5
  3889. I've never noticed the "extreme blue towel use" whatsoever. Also good to see you use them to stop contamination getting into the engine. The ludicrous use of brake cleaner however...
    5
  3890. You only get one shot at it so make the best of it
    5
  3891. any chance you changed the oil too? fuel washed rings are no bueno, amigo

  3897. Ray, also a good luck from Wisconsin

  3898. The eye of Ian went over our house. 2 ft. water in house. Walls and furniture all ruined. We had fish in the house. The house is in no condition to stay there and won't be for at least 6 months. This weekend we have reservations (non-refundable) in place so we can go to work on our house. And now it looks like eye of Nicole will go over our house and the place we rented. I doubt the state patrol will even let us get there.
    5
  3899. Should have been driving 66 mph
    5
  3900. That fork lift was made for inside warehouse work. The outside versions have much larger nobby tires.

  3903. 13 seconds!!! New record awesome video as always Ray!!!
    5
  3904. Love the bit at the end. I've been working on car and bike electrics since I was 15 (49 now). I F******* HATE Scotchlocks. Biggest waste of time on the planet. All they do is shag the cable. I've had to remove so many of these installed by so called 'professionals'. Smashing it to bits is the best thing to do with them.
    5
  3905. Glad to hear your doing Well after Helena Ray 0:28 @Rainman Ray's Repairs

  3906. Thanks for using my name. Steven/Steve always getting the short shaft lol. Love your vids.. keep em coming. The photo you sent the scammer was hilarious 😂

    5
  3915. I don't know what it is, but we've had a bunch of customers like that over the last month or so. I'd normally assume it's a full moon or something but it's been going on longer than that.
    5
  3916. Your right wrist is possibly due to tendonitis from use. Try Aleve two twice a day for a few days and see if it is much better.
    5
  3917. I'm sure glad you have gravity in the shop. I'd hate to see you using the car lift or a ladder to grab your dropped tools, nuts, bolts, etc. floating near the ceiling🙃.
    5
  3918. Rrrreeeeeeee Chemical Engineers do not create chemicals. Rather they develop and design chemical manufacturing processes ensuring chemicals are moved from on place to another in a plant setting. They don't sit in a laboratory and engineer chemicals. That person is called a CHEMIST. Now you know. Great video regardless.
    5
  3919. Good looking out, you made the right call!! GOOD MAN
    5
  3920. Five seconds in, you say ONE sentence and I'm spewing beer out of BOTH nostrils...quit making me laugh that hard. LOVE IT!!! Keep it up bud! I learn stuff watching you. I appreciate that.
    5
  3921. I picked up a 3/4 Milwaukee Fuel Stubby, same as the one you have. changed my life.
    5
  3922. Ray, You just discovered the first rule of Management "Hire a new guy to blame for anything you do wrong". Who is he going to complain to? Works every time!
    5
  3923. Nice no music thank you
    5
  3924. Ripoff- all that time I waited to watch Ray pouring stuff! :D

  3933. @RainMan when I'm watching your videos you have my time so you take as long as you want. The more personable you make them the better they are.
    5
  3934. Neat just used to determine my issue thanks man
    5
  3935. at 2:11 I love how background noise makes it sound like he was doing this repair on the Starship Enterprise. "Captain Picard I found the problem we have leaking valves"
    5
  3936. Your batting a 1000.... stay vigilant my friend...lol Good stuff Ray.. great documentation. Stay safe and be well. Have a good rest of your day.
    5
  3937. Hey Ray, it sounds like you work with some stoner listening to crap music. The other place you were at he’d some great tunes playing. Enjoyed the video keep them coming.😀😀👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺
    5
  3938. I really don't see why it triggered some people. Keep up the good work Ray, youl never make everyone happy so do what you love and those who like will follow!
    5
  3939. You can't please everyone, nor should you try to. You have absolutely nothing to apologize for! You aren't making videos exclusively for members, you're just giving them access a little early, so anyone who complains you're locking content behind a paywall is wrong, because everyone gets the videos. Even if you did want to make member only videos, you don't need to apologize for it. It isn't greedy. You're showing your own thanks for people who are contributing directly to you, and there's not a thing wrong with that! Keep being you! Don't apologize for doing nothing wrong :D
    5
  3940. Nice stall at 25:46 during the parking lot U-turn in second gear. Nothing stays unnoticed 😅
    5
  3941. Thanks for the public service announcement about trucks. Been driving a semi for 26 years now. We look slower but actually we're not. It takes 1 second per 10 feet of vehicle to stop. Which is approximately 7 seconds to stop at 80,000.. please leave space. I know it won't change for us but i dont want to look at someone's loved one and tell them im sorry. Alot of us are running dash cams now because people hit us and brake check us for fraudulent insurance claims now. Please be safe, in adverse weather this all increases. Prayers.. dp_trucking

  3943. The Gear Oil In A Bag are great for those times you would need to pump it in because the designers hates people.
    5
  3944. Ive learn over the years to always go slow when putting my plug in a new hole . If you bottom it out with alot of force you tend to damage the hole or your plug .
    5
  3945. "Don't tase me, bro!" A good Florida reference from a fellow resident. hahaha

  3946. excellent! wonder what the phone ringing tone in the shop will be!

  3947. Lmfao Ray went through the doggy door that was priceless 🤣 @Rainman Ray's Repairs

    5
  3949. Love your videos!!!
    5
  3950. You tube in subscribed me sometime last night. Keep up the great videos. Helps an 80 yr old gear head up dates on new tech. Love it
    5
  3951. I guess Ray didn't want to touch it in fear that he would strip out another bolt.
    5
  3952. Find Eric O he came up with the break clean sound effect
    5
  3953. Recently subscribed👍 Great stuff and entertaining. Could use some straight shootin mechanics like you in our neck of the woods. Alberta, Canada🍁
    5
  3954. Geeezzz......it's non load bearing, it's bolted in nice and tight....it'll be fine. Now, alignment and smooth roller door operation might be a problem....but meh, that's what a sledge hammer is for. These prima donnas in the comments worry too much.
    5
  3955. I was screaming at you that the "O" ring section was different but you didn't hear me and you didn't tape or sleeve the wiring harness TUT TUT RAY your slipping but I forgive you this time don't let it happen again
    5
  3956. So close to 500k!
    5
  3957. Awesome fall & recovery. I’ll give that an 8 1/2 points. Almost stuck the “Landing”. 😊
    5
  3958.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  come on Ray, the sign. sign sign, no where a sign.
    5
  3959. The troll story brought me back to thoughts of my fist troll 😢 ..... oh the good ol days when we only had one troll 😁
    5
  3960. I dont know nearly enough about cars but what you did to the oil filter made me question the tiny knowledge I do have when doing an oil change. I always stay till the end so I now know you were just messin around lol
    5
  3961.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  dang! I know I witnessed that struggle!
    5
  3962. I mean... doesn't everybody?
    5
  3963. Guy freaks out over which way the oil cap faces, yet right off the bat at 0:08 he put the floor mat in backwards?
    5
  3964. Some of these viewers know their stuff
    5
  3965. Yay...First Like today!!!
    5
  3966. you found the problem with owning Corvette or any "fun" car... I have a 6spd Camaro SS myself and anytime you want to feel the power, a cop car is suddenly in sight.. dang it.
    5
  3967.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  that's what I figured. Makes sense to me, you are wise to do it and glad to see you have found a growing following here. I enjoy my daily dose of your videos, it's oddly relaxing and I catch a good amount of little tips and tricks, win-win. Take care, man.
    5
  3968. Amazon, Walmart, and Target have the same issue. Amazon claims they don't turn around and sell returns as new, but they do. I also only buy items retail if the box or package hasn't been messed with.
    5
  3969. Used battery with a Napa or AAA sticker on it.😏
    5
  3970. driver's side rear exhaust is missing a bolt as well or are they built that way?
    5
  3971. I’m SO glad I have a 12 valve Cummins. Thank for another great video Ray
    5
  3972. First. Love your channel
    5
  3973. "It safe. . . Sort of." Lol, that's a common heard quote
    5
  3974. Ray, you're in our subconscious. Driving to work after watching your great vids over coffee and my back feeling like it has too much tension. So, I tweak it just right to pop it and I immediately say..."CLICK " an instant lol. Thanks brother. Have a great weekend.
    5
  3975. Hey Boss Man! Good to see you over here.
    5
  3976. I'm gonna subscribe right now just to counteract Don's fucktardary. 👍
    5
  3977.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  love your reply to the nimcumpoop🤣🤣🤣🤣
    5
  3978. Wow, rude.
    5
  3979.  @TrueBlueEG8  ya your right I guess I'm just having a bad day
    5
  3980. I have had that installed on my remote fueling station that uses 12vdc. Been using for 4 years. ❤
    5
  3981. Don't ever lose the "Here WAS our brake rotor" as part of the intro 🤣
    5
  3982. Also, the chassis design for the Lotus Esprit was later used for the DeLorean, both by the same designer. Given it's heritage, it's understandable how this Elise gave similar vibes as the DeLorean.
    5
  3983. I noticed that too. But knowing how Ray has never, if ever, missed tightening, connecting, etc., anything in my viewing experience, I say he did it off camera/not recorded. i have been amazed at him not missing things that I've caught during filming but he does come back to them. A very good feature of a technician. You have to be.
    5
  3984. Reeeeee
    5
  3985. Good day to you Ray Outstanding video as always but the most important thing is to have your self a great day Ray
    5
  3986. Don't let Ivan from pine Hollow Auto diagnostics see you using those butt connections, he hates those 😂
    5
  3987. Can’t imagine the pain that the transmission guys going through screaming at their cell phones!
    5
  3988. Watching you turn down a car makes me feel okay to turn down a car. I'm opening up a shop to help people. And I couldn't agree more. I do it as favors. If I can't fix it and will only cause problems I will tell them to take it to the dealer. But after being a shop help and seeing the mechanics as lost as I was, seriously a wake up call.
    5
  3989. Love all the extra commentary late arrival,first job, and the parking lot truck. Helps us get to know you.
    5
  3990. I maintain this is the worst engine Ford ever made. FYI, under the 8 bolts with the big washers on them there are hollow set screws with an internal hex. You are supposed to back them out and then run them up to 2 ft-lbs (finger tight) before installing the bolts through them.
    5
  3991. Happy Thanksgiving from Higgins Lake Michigan
    5
  3992. Happy Thanksgiving!
    5
  3993. Great videos mate, I've been working in the automotive parts and services industry for over 20yrs, and your composure is amazing, most of my mechanics, or technicians as we call them in the dealerships, would have lost thier tempers by this point. I stopped working on cars because I lost my patience for when things go wrong. These videos would be great for your customers if they wanted to see what you did, but for safety reasons, can't be in the workshop. Well done on diagnosing such a huge vacuum problem thats smoke machine is awesome, wish we had one in my old workshop.
    5
  3994. I want to bring my truck down to you from Canada!!!
    5
  3995. The thing I like about Gale Banks, is there's a whole bunch of research that goes into his products. Knowledgeable guy.
    5
  3996.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  I'm a retired engineer who is currently training to be a full time high school technology teacher. The curriculum and "teaching philosophy" where I live effectively mandates I teach the students "everyone is another opportunity for friendship" and "any problem can be fixed if we just work together". From my previous career I know there are plenty of people looking for suckers and don't give a shit what happens to you.
    5
  3997. Nice to know your scan tool goes both ways 😂
    5
  3998. Great job. I'm glad I found your channel.
    5
  3999. Super Toyota suspension fix series Ray, and have a great day! Are you sure all the bolts got torqued? lol
    5
  4000. Here here, that’s one of the greatest you tube scenes I’ve seen. Well played Ray well played
    5
  4001. If I was you I'd check that tongue on the trailer.

  4002. Ray is a true gentleman and a man of his word....Bravo bravo

  4007. If the wife unit is going to be doing the admin side of things in there then she'll be organising the desk/paperwork/office type envornment to her complete satisfaction anyway, so don't make too many plans for that- she'll be able to organise it better than you anyway 😉
    5
  4008.  @jameshedrick605  If you’re in Florida then maybe. He works at a certain shop… and I very much wanted to take my vehicle to him but I had to leave because of work related reasons before I had my appointment. However yes it would be an honor for him to properly look at my car, he seems to be very good at that.
    5
  4009. 7minutes, 569 views and 111 likes. Darn Ray, you seem popular for some reason lol
    5
  4010. If nothing else, recording video while working on these systems provides a "trail of breadcrumbs" to help reassemble the mess.
    5
  4011.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  Ray🤔, I think that we all have a tough life in front of us😏. But atleast we are in a better world with mechanics like you, looking after our cars & vans😁. I've got a good machanic here in my hometown in the uk🇬🇧. Doesn't bodge anything & doesn't fleese me on repairs😁.... Oops - Clang- Gravity🤣🤣🇬🇧🇬🇧

  4017. A long time ago In a galaxy far far away Cars were alot easier to work on Now, he, he, he, you need $4K in tools. D'OH!!!

  4018. C'mon Ray keep up with the times. This is a fine specimen of Stellantis engineering

  4019. You need a pressure transducer so you can log fuel pressure over time...

  4021. Thank you Mr RainmanRay not only did I enjoy this video so much I did watch it twice double the enjoyment viewing . Btw the more you demonstrate the fluid machine’s operation the better I can appreciate it’s performance and real world application and functionality, cool factor to boot . Thanks
    5
  4022. To the double dipping comment Ray. Each job has a certain hourly rate and you do the job so to me it is not double dipping. You are just efficient. I am just glad that you said sayonara to your old job and went on your own. Thank you for making good content.
    5
  4023. Best thing you did was send it to the dealer. See ya BMW
    5
  4024. Its a METRIC circle. lol They only have 100'.
    5
  4025. I love your long videos, thanks so much. Others might not like them but that’s too bad, they can press save and watch it later if they want, thanks Ray.
    5
  4026. Praying for Ryan and his family
    5
  4027. He’s in my prayers! God Bless
    5
  4028. Now I wonder if this is Vaccine related 🤔
    5
  4029. notification squad, Have a nice weekend!🔥🔥🔥
    5
  4030. My Prayers R With U & Your Friends 🙏🏽
    5
  4031. Great video…. Now take the plates off, park it next to the dumpster and call for a recycling pickup 👍🏻
    5
  4032. Good morning happy thanksgiving first comment!
    5
  4033. If you have such distrust for your shop that you need to see the old parts you should change to a different shop. Also since this is an insurance job they will have sent pictures to the insurance company already.
    5
  4034. Ray Happy New years broseph...can't wait for the new Year and all the great jeep things to come Lauren it will be fine the thing is mint!!!
    5
  4035. I can see doing the driveshaft delete if you’re driving in a climate where there’s marginal difference between FWD and AWD. I have a CRV as well, but the AWD has paid for itself many times over in winter conditions. Yes, FWD is fine in winter, but the AWD makes all the difference in the world if I have to drive in the day or two after the snow flies. (Especially where I live - way too many people do stupid things driving on fresh snow that packs and polishes it)
    5
  4036. I must be weird. When I work on a car I take the bolts from a part and put them in baggies and tape them to the part. If the part has different length bolts I draw a diagram and label the bolts and where they go. I also take pictures with my phone to make sure I remember how something goes before ripping it out.
    5
  4037. Actually your supposed to get numerous sockets and extensions so you can fit an impact gun on the oil plug. The tighter the better right 🥴
    5
  4038. Have you used the 10mm you stole from the Wife Unit? We all saw you. 😁
    5
  4039. Buddy, you have a great work ethics. You are very capable to have your own place. Most shops are very busy which mean there is a demand. You are the supply. Go for it.
    5
  4040. Very nice of you to do the upgrade. Good for the customer, fun for us, expensive as hell for you!! Great entertainment!
    5
  4041. The Trailblazer, Envoy, Ranier, Bravada, and Isuzu Ascender all shared the GMT360 platform and were all made in the same plant in Ohio. The SSR actually used the frame from the longer Trailblazer EXT/Envoy XL GMT370 that was then shortened. The oil pans of both the 5.3L v8 and the 4.2L I6 used in the GMT360/370 trucks had the front differential bolted to it, and used a tunnel for one of the CV shafts.
    5
  4042. My dad had an SSR. We swapped the 5.3L for 6.0 Supercharged. And lowered it and changed the wheels. It was a monster. It would 668HP and was great for drag racing and tuned it with a Holley EFI. GREAT Combo.
    5
  4043. Old geezer gear head here again. My old man, who was a mechanic from the Model 'T' days, to the 'big block' era of the 60s, had a bunch of bent wrenches like that. I remember them from when I was a kid. Now, that I am almost 80, I was surprised to see that style of wrench again. Thank you Ray, for your very entertaining and informative videos. Its a shame that customers today don't appreciate good, honest workmanship.
    5
  4044. I have a 2006 E320 CDI. I suck the oil out the dipstick, which saves messing with those underbody panels. They are a right pain. Pretty sure sucking it out is the way Mercedes intended it too be done. It can be a bit slow though.
    5
  4045. Hey Ray, in your edit, the 2nd time playing the music, the level was way to low...first time was fine.
    5
  4046. That first 2 minutes is terrifying.
    5
  4047.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  We all support you 100% Rainman.
    5
  4048. So happy for you Ray to get this contract with these Van's, you deserve it!!!
    5
  4049. I love these videos. Only found the channel 4-6 weeks ago. They are literally therapeutic for me, I relax watching the battle unfold narrated by Ray. My own monkey mind stops chasing it's own tail while watching these videos. I have done much of my own work on cars in the past. Ray is articulate, intelligent, responsible, trustworthy and VERY FUNNY. I also learn a lot watching as well.
    5
  4050. It's good to see all your hard work finally reflected in your subscriber numbers
    5
  4051. Love the AvE references
    5
  4052. At 28:21 I think you are correct. You actually THINK through problems instead of guessing. ("Let's not make the problem worse by GUESSING!." ~ Gene Kranz)
    5
  4053. I use same snap on pliers. Great tool. Can use for pipe wrench as well.
    5
  4054. My favorite mechanic. Wrenching and a comedy show.
    5
  4055. It lives! Try a shot of silicone spray on those window tracks.
    5
  4056. Another good one Ray.👍👍
    5
  4057. Man those plugs are shot. NGK is a really good brand. This proves they can last well beyond their expiration date! Ray you are almost at 1/2 million subs. Early congrats to you on that. Have yourself a great day!
    5
  4058. Having been in maintenance for many years, I can confirm the need for a cooling fan for this system.
    5
  4059. This video came across my Facebook, I just finished it. Not sure where you guys are but I'm in Maryland. I am a diesel tech, but also an ase master and go certified... since the pandemic started I couldn't tell you how much I have seen shady shit and complete dishonest repairs. Fortunately I work in a pretty large shop and we have plenty of fleet accounts so work has been steady. I think its disgusting what some of these techs are doing. I remember when I started how difficult it was for us to earn trust. People in general thought all of us were dishonest. Now again I see so much dishonesty its really sad. It makes it so hard in the rest if us!!! I try my best to document everything and save parts we change at least until pickup etc... people appreciate it even more these days. Any awesome video bro, great find!! As soon as you opened the hood I was like yeah that ain't right haha keep up the good work man
    5
  4060. Pisses me off when I see crooked mechanics. People get charged enough for repairs they need. You are one of the good ones
    5
  4061. Good morning Have a great day everyone
    5
  4062. REEEEEEEE (no reason, just because 😏)
    5
  4063. I'm still subscribed and so is our shop.
    5
  4064. Well having a longer video is great ,You show every detail of the job, And for us who don't know anything about Auto's ,IT'S very interesting to watch. And Your Commentary is so funny, And you never seem to get mad at times where I'd be tossing things across the room.😮 keep it up.
    5
  4065. As Matt from Diesel Creek says "Anything's a hammer if you use it wrong enough!"
    5
  4066. I'm sorry to inform you and all of your viewers. That is not a defect. That is the gas engine to diesel engine auto sound converter in action. You're welcome.
    5
  4067. Your allowed the occasional error 😂
    5
  4068. There might be a cheeseburger under the seat. You no want?
    5
  4069. It also helps us younger folks who can't work on cars for one reason or another.
    5
  4070. Look at our Ray! He went and got himself his own shop...Nicely done man.
    5
  4071. Looks like another youtuber is in our list of mutual channels

  4072. Instead of a regular O-ring, it turned out to be a Uh-O ring. Being missing and all. Roger in Pierre South Dakota
    5
  4073. I would run it on a job once. Then change the oil again. That old oil looked nasty!
    5
  4074. That vintage Ford just keeps dumping fuel in cooking the cats.
    5
  4075. I hope you are feeling better 😢
    5
  4076. Beautiful sunny day in rainy Florida..lol. Stay safe and be well. Have a great rest of your day.
    5
  4077. I had already learned a great deal about cars in general from my late husband as previously commented in another video. When he began to lose dexterity in his hands I became his hands & he told me what to do so I learned even more literally hands on. Ray continues to teach me through his videos. He may not be a sexy ass black man but they have very similar personalities, lol.
    5
  4078. So happy you refilled the CVT with Amsoil. Thats all I use in my 2008 Altima coupe, Amsoil CVT fluid is liquid gold!
    5
  4079. After driving a carb moped for a couple years (because it was free), I was scared to get a more modern vehicle with injection because it might be so complicated. But really, it's not. Unless its direct injection, its simpler to me
    5
  4080. Welcoming back!
    5
  4081. Excellent installation as usual Banks products and very well-engineered and design and manufacture to the top quality have a great day
    5
  4082. Ray is always doing the pledge of allegiance in his mind.
    5
  4083. Amazing how waterproof modern engines are...when I was young and living in UK you did that to a car and it probably would never start again!!! :)
    5
  4084. Alloweth's just breaketh down his sentence and cometh at this with some logic 1. Prithee stop trying to beest comical. *this statement implies yond the subject matt'r in the video in which is being did discuss is not comical, and yond the video creat'r is presenting an illusion of comedy. Simply putteth richard turk is stating yond the subject matt'r hast dram to nay comedic effect. * 2. Because t's now w'rking. *this statement implies yond while the video creat'r in the past hadst dram to nay success with his comedic intentions. T seemeth yond t is nay longeth'r behoveful to f'rce such an eff'rt, and yond the natural way in which his conv'rsations floweth provideth the behoveful amount of comedy. * an alt'rnate argument one couldst pose is yond richard turk simply misspelt the w'rd "now" and meanteth to writeth "not". Using logic thee might not but und'rstand the fact yond "w" is only three spaces from the "t". This is definite proof yond mathematically speaking, t is impossible f'r this to beest a grammatical 'rr'r on the parteth of richard turk. This is because th're is only an 11. 538% chance yond this couldst in fact beest a spelling 'rr'r. conclusion: the subject matt'r of the video hast comedic values and enwheels prop'rties sufficient enow to produceth laught'r. the creat'r of the video, while guilty of showing po'r comedic values in the past, anon shows prop'r comedic effect and nay longeth'r needeth to pusheth his comedic values to the audience clarification: the statement above only reflects the opinion of mr. Turk. The 'riginal posteth implies only the opinion of one, and th'ref're necessitates me to pointeth this fact out. Gen'rally speaking, comedy in t of itself is subjective, and th'ref're requires m're data to fully det'rmine wheth'r 'r not ones owneth comedic endeavour is successful. Keepeth this fact in mind while taking richard turks statement into consid'ration

  4085. He said the car was brought in because it overheated and threw a bunch of lights on the dash which probably also meant that it lost some coolant on overheat pissing out the overflow or cap or something so it woukdnt blow a hose.. but like buddy said hot upper abd cool lower is stuck thermostat.. or a clog internally but when he drained a bit of tge fluid out in the cup it wasent all shitty, no oil mixed, no crap floating sobdoubtful is any clog and head isnt blown cus oil filler wasent milky or smoking and no mix.. so in that amount of diag time was a good diag.. everybody has their own way of doing things so whatever.. and thermostats are prone to fuck up, is why theyre always getting replaced in everything.. is the main valve in the system. And pressure testing would be a good idea if he saw a leak or residue of a leak but he didnt so no point.. looking for smoke out the ass could also mean a bunch of things even at that just a head gasket blown would mean something else caused that shit to blow, possibly an overheat condition so what caused that condition? Thermostat or lack of coolant? And he saw it had coolant but wasent passing through enging so theres your ticket.. if heads blown than there will be obvious tell tells when the thermostat is replaced and dtc’s reset.. but the overheating issue would be fixed. If it leaked after thermostat was replaced then oressure test and would also tell you if heads blown or where the leak is.. nuff said..

  4086. Good luck with the new job Ray. Hello from 🇬🇧
    5
  4087. First time commenting..long time viewer..I'm so happy for you and your family when your kids grow up they will see what you have created and it goes to prove you work hard enough and treat customers right you will he rewarded ...great job on your own Ray@ RAYS AUTO CLINIC!!!
    5
  4088. So is the owner night blind or just stupid ?
    5
  4089. Bro I’m going to trade school right now and I love all your content! Keep up the good work brotha
    5
  4090. Great lesson about these gloves. People tend to make assumptions but don't follow up by asking to confirm. Human nature.
    5
  4091. Can we take a minute to marvel at how amazing that truck is for being 21 years old. Up here in the North East it would have rusted to the tires long ago...
    5
  4092. somebody needs a bigger shop
    5
  4093.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  What do you know! I got my first vanishing comment! - Anywho, have a nice day Ray and family.
    5
  4094. Dang Ray, ya fooled me. I would have done the same thing though!
    5
  4095. Lol you wanna talk mistakes on oil changes? I once turned a used oil receptacle into Mt. Krakatoa! Needless to say, I lost my job that day, all over one little valve not being closed.
    5
  4096. I work on suspension all day every day... I know why you watch someone else do the work, it's so you can watch someone else do the work! I have to get a battery powered whirly stick after watching his vids, sometimes the air powered impact gun is almost as annoying as the rock hard air-hose and they guy who spends all day upstairs in the office watching porn
    5
  4097. These Toyotas can last a long time so spark plugs and general maintenance are still wise investments, IMO. Do you agree Ray ?

  4102. Add this to the list of "engines" that I will never own.
    5
  4103. As I said before..I would almost Drive to Tampa (1000 miles) to have you work in my car. I very recently had an issue with a shop, who after some attempts at bullying relented and reimbursed me 1500 for damge they caused. I recommend they watch you videos!!
    5
  4104. Thanks for your honesty and integrity
    5
  4105. already a subscriber. so here is a thumbs up!!
    5
  4106. notification squad, happy easter!🔥🔥🔥
    5
  4107. Ray I've been a subscriber for years. would you of thought in just a short space of time that one minute your an employee and now you have your shop, very successful Yt channel and Lauren's channel and it's all going from strength to strength, congratulations on it all well deserved for you and your family
    5
  4108. Good looking out Ray, thank you.
    5
  4109. YouTube should be doing their frikkin job.
    5
  4110. I am purchasing that t-shirt from you. 😂 Mission completed.
    5
  4111. Awesome job, hopefully the owner went back to the dealership.
    5
  4112. Ray you're really spoiling us now!
    5
  4113. Well, Rainman Ray, you certainly have more patience than me.
    5
  4114. I love the way you always jinx yourself by saying this will be fast and easy. You should just start out by saying this is going to take forever and tax my brain. Then you'll just zip through it.
    5
  4115. Hello my friend
    5
  4116. The alligator clip would work better for the soldering, as the big pliers you were using would act as a heat sink. They would pull the heat out of the joint, and make it take longer for the solder connection to heat up and flow
    5
  4117. Coming along pretty nicely with the soldering skills. All pretty good so far! - Tin your soldering iron tip, keep it bright and clean. Tin your wires. Connect.. and let the solder flow brother! And you sir... Stay safe, and stay awesome. 😎👍
    5
  4118. That is a very inconvenient place to put the battery, no way for an average person to change it and get enough leverage to lift it up outta there.
    5
  4119. I've driven several brakeless cars to the shop... Very slow and careful. And late at night
    5
  4120. I just did a booster and master cylinder on one of these the other day. Much more of a PITA than it should have been.
    5
  4121. Loving the channel. Thanks for all the content :)
    5
  4122. on most 3406 cat engines they don't want you to fill the filters first , most vehicles the oil pump satisfies the crank and rod bearings before it gets to oil filter , and most cars will not start before it sees oil pressure of at least 7 pounds , and even if the filter is full you can still put the throttle pedal to the floor in flood mode, dry start is a myth if you just changed your oil there is till a coating of oil through out your engine , and yes I am a certified bar fly and a biker engineer , I park my 2015 mustang all winter and first start in the spring I flood mode it ,crank it till I get oil pressure it takes only 3 seconds to clear oil pressure to start , every body have a nice day , there is bigger fish to fry on this prison planet right now .
    5
  4123.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  if you run a bead of mig weld around the bearing race roller face it shrinks it and it will fall out or only need a light tap.
    5
  4124. LOVE my Gear Wrench hose Clamp tool that you recommended, based on how many times I've pinch my fingers during host removal and reinstallation, its saved my fingers like 8 times already lol Thanks ray!
    5
  4125. He actually operates a sewing machine in a factory...this is a part time hobby...then he goes bar hopping and strip joints.
    5
  4126. Yea.. I bet it woke us all up.
    5
  4127. And the thermostat that has been in there for months. :)
    5
  4128. I gave a talk on Air conditioning. It doesn't make cold! The cold is already there. Heat is the commodity. AC moves the heat from inside to out.
    5
  4129. I always find myself blowing to get all the dust off like it will work thru the phone hahaha 😅 😂
    5
  4130. Ray I'm pretty sure that was a Jeep Liberty not a Patriot. God bless
    5
  4131. This whole car wiped your brake clean out
    5
  4132. I loved the camera work on this!
    5
  4133. Welcoming back!
    5
  4134. Don't worry about it bro. Tech reviewers do this all the time. They will flat out trash a company from ceo's down to PC builders. Company calls them to come listen to what they have learned from prior feedback and what they have done since that people haven't "heard". Tech reviewer then digests the information then explains the good, the bad, and the ugly of what he learned.
    5
  4135. Geez I would never have guessed! 😉 @RainmanRaysRepairs 
    5
  4136. All automatic transmissions are vented.
    5
  4137. True mechanic getting excited over trans pan gasket, but it was a nice gasket.
    5
  4138. That transmission was completely bone dry torque converter and all it seems like. I really like that pan gasket the way it fits on there and you cannot overtorque it and squeeze out the rubber gasket which I've seen a million times. So 100% on that pan gasket would be nice if all pan gaskets were like that. Hey you have the same torque wrench as I do "click" lol. In all seriousness we all know when a torque wrench is needed and when one is not. Thanks for the great video.
    5
  4139.  @anton101101  it really is that bad.
    5
  4140. Love your vids, today was my 2nd day on the mechanic school and I'm pumped up
    5
  4141. Hi, Ray. Have fun at SEMA. Don't get into trouble. 😂
    5
  4142. ~~~HIT THE LIKE FOLKS!~~~
    5
  4143. I am not new here I so glad that you and everyone is all good.
    5
  4144. Always fun to watch someone else fiddle fart dink around with a press in wheel bearing. Just when shit gets sketchy is when it really gets good.
    5
  4145. Doooo-DEEEEEE-Doooo!!!!

  4148.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  You are honest because that is how you were raised. Not a lot of that going on these days. Your parents raised you right!
    5
  4149.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  oh you have a good followings just so you can see their reaction. You have a hidden talent is being a comedian.
    5
  4150. This was me when I was ordering parts for my new computer. Everyday a new delivery was waiting for me when I got home from work.
    5
  4151. UNKNOWN NUMBER! GOOD MORNING RAY AND THE WIFE UNIT! Along with TROY the new employee! Another case of the automobile engineers not taking into consideration how hard it is for a mechanic to repair and or replace engine components. Roger in Pierre South Dakota
    5
  4152. My favorite. Complaining of “limp mode” and finding severe misfires.
    5
  4153. Mmm Some early morning Ray hope you're feeling better.
    5
  4154. Bought a Terminator Mustang 2 years ago... Surprisingly a lot of the parts I've replaced were original parts... These 4.6 Mustangs were built well. But good tender care goes a long ways. And the parts will last another 20 years. Just from my personal experience. Really enjoying the videos on the old mustangs. 😸
    5
  4155. the snap on truck comes by once a week..half of the fun of buying Snap-On is seeing how bad you can break it and still have it under warranty..
    5
  4156. Anyone gonna tell Ray its a 6.8 V10 not a 5.8 🤷‍♂️
    5
  4157. All I'm going to say people is be proactive not reactive.
    5
  4158. Since Storms (and other types of disasters) happen every year, sit down just once and write an Home Action Plan. Fine tune it from lesions learned each year. Always keep a supply of Emergency Items and don't touch them unless really needed. Top off these supplies each year. Buy Materials once and use many times, i.e. Plywood, Plastics, generators, etc.- Have a Go-NO GO decision Point and stick with it - don't second guess. Always keep escape cash on hand, you will not be able to find money in a emergency. Never let fuel in your cars go below 50%. Also always have a plan for your pets and other animals - like your children they depend on you!
    5
  4159. National Hurricane Center does YT livestreams several times a day. They give fact based updates, no spinning crap, no fake drama. I highly recommend it for staying informed.
    5
  4160. Don't you know, that adds 8 more hp to that rice burner...........
    5
  4161. That yellow oil pan though 🤣😂
    5
  4162. No way that's your first time! Clearly you've been there before. Probably started with those little itty bitty ones from the ADAP (like us mere mortals) and worked your way up from there. 😀
    5
  4163. RRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
    5
  4164. i was worried for a second when you closed the hood with the oil cap upside down.
    5
  4165. Hey Ray, I've been following you for quite some time when you were working as a tech at dealerships and treated like crap. You made the best of that and yet remained humble. You set up your own barebones shop and expanded it into a going concern. My hat's off to you sir. You seem to be balancing the life/work/family thing pretty successfully. I admire what you've achieved and continue to share with interesting content for all of us to enjoy at the sacrifice of your "me time". Also, thankyou for sharing your family and friends with us. This just makes you just one of us. My very best wishes to you and your family and keep up the great work. Cheers!
    5
  4166. Love your videos . Keep up the great work
    5
  4167. “Gonna start it by hand so I don’t get the threads crossed” Dude I’ve been a millwright goin on 15 years (previous experience in construction and automotive). Goddamn you’re already better than 3/4 of the maintenance personnel I’ve worked with at the foundry and now the paper mill. Everyone is so worried about “look how fast I can do it” that they never considered DOING IT FAST BUT WRONG is not doing it at all. Working a late shift, I shit you not more than half my work is not only re-doing the garbage work maintenance personnel did, but quite often having to now fix other things that got fucked up by their shoddy repair.

  4168. Equating patriotism with racism tells us all we need to know. It is a stupid position to support. But as Ray points out the person is entitled to their view whether I like it or not.

  4173. I now have my wife worried, just moving the house interior lights around and a new one going up, I am saying screw gravity, screw driver gravity, light fitting gravity and now said I have noodle arms, the phone rang and she has now booked an appointment with the psychiatrist, not sure why.

  4174. In today's video Ray gave the internet welding and soldering trolls a break .....but here comes the paint experts reeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!
    5
  4175. Wait a minute. This was recorded a year ago but just now released? Ha , I had to go back and watch the first two videos just to be up to date. Anyway, I always appreciate having a triple R video to watch in the morning. Don't you just LOVE THE SMELL OF THE SHOP IN THE MORNING. HAHAHA a little play on a movie there ..

  4176. If only other mechanics were as diligent and thorough as you. Getting an alignment that comes close to spec and a straight steering wheel seems to be a lost art. Keep up the good work.👍

  4181. It would have been so funny if the Snap-On driver saw you leaving and gave chase :D

  4182. I had mentioned a the tires in a previous video. That's nothing compared to the Equinox my friend brought over yesterday for me to check the brakes. OEM tires from 2011 (yes I checked the date code) with 90K miles on them. Basically bald and disintegrating on the sides.
    5
  4183. Rainman ray I just used one of your tricks. After changing my oil I sprayed it with brake clean to get it nice and shiny

  4184. A thin strip of paper towel under the electrical tape will keep the tape’s adhesive goo off your finger when you remove the tape. Nothing like the electrical tape “double ring” at the end of the day.

  4187. Cetane boosters are good, it will help make sure the combustion process works as expected. Similar to the octane boosters, or running higher octane fuels for gas engines. If the fuel you've been running is already blended to a high enough Cetane/Octane for the engine then you won't see much of an improvement. I would prefer to see that they claim an actual Cetane number improvement per dosage. The diesel market in the US is not as well regulated for cetane numbers, and its exceptionally rare to find a station that actually will list Cetane rating on the pump. From what I've read in the past, cetane numbers over 50 rarely have any significant benefit, but cetane numbers under 40 can cause less than ideal combustion. Most fuel in the US market is around 42-45 cetane, with a minimum spec of 40. In European markets the minimum cetane is 46. I've got a 6L powerstroke and a 3L bluetec in my two vehicles, the bluetec has a DPF filter but is old enough to not have the DEF system. I definitely notice an improvement with a cetane treatment in the bluetec, more than anything in the frequency and duration of the DPF regens. In the truck, i mostly just notice a little less black smoke puffs unless I'm just flat out flooring it, so I assume the combustion process is just running a bit more complete. I run the amsoil diesel treatment product, but have also used the ford/motorcraft one. It has 2 dosage levels, to either get +4 cetane or +7 cetane. I'll occassionally run the higher dosage for a tank or two, but honestly I see the benefits from the lower dose, and minimal gains from the higher one. Cetane boosters aren't snake oil, but they have a diminishing returns depending on the fuel you are running.

  4192. People put so much trust in the ability of their mechanic / dealership & pay through the nose for second rate bodged job, so annoying. I’m impressed that you took the time to do an in-depth investigation. WELL DONE.

  4194.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  so... add to your list of attributes that you are adaptable having extensive problem solving skills. In Business 101, half a century ago for me, they gave complicated business problems that were fraught with conflicts and with seemingly no clear answer. The answer was always a tradeoff. Management is just that: finding the most acceptable solution knowing there will be shortcomings. I.E. business management is less than perfect.
    5
  4195. Glad I found your videos, You got yourself a new subscribed! Your videos are fun to watch and I learn a couple of things about cars.

  4200. Your videos have helped me so much in my DIY repairs. Thank you so much!
    5
  4201. What a lot of this posters below are not mentioning is that Snap-On comes to your place of business and talks with mechanics and exchanges tools of damaged or broken ones with new tools. Most every day mechanics like that versus driving over to Harbor Freight.

  4202. Ray is this really you…..or is this a ghost 😂😂😂😂😂😂

  4210. Ray, put a 500 amp fuse on the hot line to those extra batteries. Protect your truck from meltdown in accidents/malfunction. 15 bucks is worth it.
    4
  4211. tbh it really start to be like that. Add some armour, shielding, weapon port and it's fucking zombie ready
    4
  4212. I could understand a repair going wrong on something as advanced as this 3008 Lexus!
    4
  4213. Wait so you fixed the Maf that someone else fucked up and only recommend the battery and the dad called you upset? What a dummy! Lol
    4
  4214. No forgiveness needed buddy. Most of these people chirping and being keyboard warriors have never held a wrench in their lives. You do you. Leave all the smudges and smears that it takes to get the job done, nothing a quick 5 minute detail cant fix......as long as its not on fabric, your golden. Looking forwards to the next video brother! i know this ones old...but ya know... Just got home from pullin wrenches now watching some one pull wrenches lol Keep Er Greasy Side Down!!

  4215. you can touch my car with your dirty gloves anytime you like.

  4216. This guy really thinks Ray drops his tools and flashlights to add comedic effect to the video 😂
    4
  4217. Getting that valve cover back on was impressive. I have spent hours upon hours fighting to keep that thing in its place while installing. To much junk in the way to touch it in the way down. Nice work sir.

  4218. I've had a shop gouge my steering wheel. I know it wasn't like that because I've had the car since new. Plus, security footage

  4220. I used to manage an auto repair facility and that happens a lot. We ended up videoing everything.

  4221. I retired before cell phones were common. Time stamped pictures and videos don't lie. Get a service manager with balls and a spine, and don't let him/her get away with financing his monthly bonus with your free labor ("just see what it is"). Take em outside to the dumpster and rattle his/her skull...

  4223. Saw this scam multiple times when I was a lube tech right out of high school, car with CEL on, change oil, c/s says light wasn't on before the oil change lol.

  4236. It's quarter past six on a Sunday morning. I should be sleeping. Instead, I'm eating pound cake, drinking chocolate milk from the container, and watching a guy play with his dangly bits. And that's not even a euphemism. I'm officially old and have turned into my dad. 😲

  4244. Ray needs a 20lb. dead blow hammer.

  4245. Ray, that LY5 could need the early 2011 updated left valve cover. That thing looks to be taking in a lot of oil from the PCV. Same issue my 2011 aluminum block LC9 had. Was built just before the new valve cover was released. LY5 is on the same TSB. Mine burned a lot of oil. The cylinders were carboned and it spark knocked bad. It burned about 2.5qt every 5k. Had dealership swap the valve cover and it dropped to using less than 1/8qt. Took three dealerships, four techs and my own research to figure out what the problem was.
    4
  4246. Ray’s videos never gets boring. Love your content man keep it up
    4
  4247. Thanks for the tip Ray Ray! I work at dorman and have one of these fuel line repair kits....didn't know you could do this with it. I watched your video and used the kit to fix my fuel line that was rigged together with a fitting and clamps

  4253. Morning Ray! Simple 2 cents observation you may find funny...This is what happens when the government MANDATES things. This came about from a mandate on fuel economy. I think the Escape is mid size? A 1.5L turbo puts a lot of stress on a tiny engine. Then they put like 20 speed transmissions that fail and cost the GDP of a small nation to fix. I don't remember too many of these things happening to the 3.0 V6 they had at one time. All these tiny, turbo, direct injected things even foreign (Earth Dreams anyone?) engines are not for me. I like a larger engine that WORKS reliably for my own self. Diesel preferred whenever I can get it. Just sayin' Hehe This should be interesting to see what happens. This wasn't a buy here pay here was it?

  4268. I’m sorry that the rear diff was such a PIA. But your attention to detail and clearances is to be appreciated. One complaint however, when you were cleaning out the empty differential case, you shot us right in our faces with brake cleaner! 🤪
    4
  4269. Good video, I personally don't click the like button on most videos because I don't want to add to my lists. I've probably watched 75% of your content and I keep coming back. The random AvE references are fun little easter eggs, and your willingness to do what's right by your customers, and share your knowledge with the world make you one of the best examples of humanity in my opinion. Keep up the great work, and as always, don't forget to have a great day!

  4270. The warranty and the fact they come to you are the only two reasons to buy their shit

  4277. The importance on who spent what on Afghanistan is really not important. Afghanistan was showing stability when Trump left office. While I agree the US should of pulled out long ago, the way Sleepy Joe did it was sloppy, and poorly planned. ISIS now rules Afghanistan. That's what this current administration wants, the destabisation of American interests, making us look week. If you're so concerned about the almighty dollar, look at Biden's infrastructure bill. About 30% goes to actual infrastructure, the rest goes to appease groups and causes that have nothing to do with infrastructure. And the "Build Back Broke" plan is much of the same irresponsible MALARKEY.

  4283. 10:23 Ray: "We'll take a tool that is a cutting tool.."It's not a weapon" ..., It's a cutting tool..... Sorry Ray, if logic dictates.....If everything is a hammer, than anything can become a weapon.. Example....Italian Ninja's have been known to use frozen sausage links as Num-chuks. Another case in point Mr. Green and Colonel Mustard both murdered each other at least 50 million times with a lead pipe or a candle stick in the library . I'm so glad we have the internet because the internet don't lie. Glad you're going with sound deadener, wise choice, it's worth the effort

  4285. I personally wish this video was longer but I understand some people seem to dislike long videos. I enjoy watching a 2-3 hour time lapse of a house build. That to me is entertainment. So a 1 hour clip of him tearing his vehicle apart wouldn't be that far off the mark there.

  4286. RAAAAAAAAAAAY

  4287. Ray, nice torque wrench. Remember that is a precision tool that requires care. Store at Zero or lowest indicated setting. Have it professionally Calibrated once a year or if you drop it.

  4288. @Rainman Ray's Repairs. Even though your customer sounds like they can't afford antifreeze, you did the customer's car right. Thanks for the video. Hope you and your family stay safe and well.

  4295. I noticed that I mentioned my boss would kick my arse if I went easy bolt first and I see Ray went for the hardest, well done young man :) Ray, don't you use cotton gloves first to stop the sweat? I know some double cotton when it's bad.

  4301. Goooood morning! Hope you have a wonderful day, Ray! ❤
    4
  4302. That discrepancy in mileage is because your scan tool rounds the mileage up and the vehicle odometer if not displaying tenths of a mile don’t roll up till actual mileage is hit! So approximately is an appropriate term on both devices (odometer and scan tool)
    4
  4303. The central plug is the level plug. You have over filled the final drives. It could cause the seals on the final drives to leak when the oil gets warm the oil will expand and cause pressure to build up and blow the seals. Remove the central plug and let the oil drain out. When it stops the level will be correct

  4329. The first thing we learned in auto shop class was always pull on a wrench, never push. It's not always possible to do that, but I've learned over the years to push with an open hand whenever necessary like Ray showed. Good tip for the younger crowd.

  4343. So that's what cliff meant when he said you Cody and cliff were destroying things all day. And you found a 6.7 liter? Keeping it?

  4344. The relay you were pulling out (the one that was buzzing) was the fuel pump relay.

  4345. Fookin A Rainman, your content makes me happy!😉 Keep up the good work bro!🤘

  4346. I've been waiting all day for this! UK you see. Cheers Ray!

  4347. Love this kind of video. Reminds me of our first home place. Cleared 5 acres with a Massey Ferguson 135 with a front end loader. Lots of fun. You'll have wife unit out in the shop turning wrenches in no time too.

  4348.  @NaturalBornGriller  AND we'll get to watch. What a time to be alive

  4349. OK Raul. Calm down. Ray offers a double your money back guarantee for anything posted in error.

  4356. @Rainman Ray’s Repair Hello, as a retired man who used to work at Honda for over 13 years, we would read from the wear sensors to the pad not from the backing plate of the pad, as that would be way past the wear sensor and since you said 4mm from needing replacement, then they would comeback when the wear sensors are makeing noise and you say, oh you would need to replace the pads as that is what is causing the noise. Customer would say I was told I had 4mm of pad life and then it would have to be explained that it was to the wear backing plate and they would be like why was I told last time i had enough pad left and now I’m here back and you say i need pads… as for the lubricant on the shims. We never did that either as it would cause the brake pads to bind up and not wear evenly due to the dirt being attracted to it. We would clean them with a wire wheel and brake clean or replace them. I live in Massatwoshit BTW
    4
  4357. "Because the backs are new we assume they are good." Classic Eric O. statement. He never puts lube on the new hardware just under it. You are so right about brake dust collecting, I only made that mistake once. Great Video.
    4
  4358. Hey Ray, How are you liking those control arms/ball joints? Welcome Back!
    4
  4359. Loving the content been watching for a month and its great :)

  4360.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  I am glad you recognize the problem....

  4361. After subbing to this channel for the past severeral years .., my wife says I no longer speak Normular... Observation: Much respect for you, wife unit and Eric for helping a family in need.( Thanks to you Ray, I now sub to his channel). It was refreshing to see you talk directly into the camera for a change. Question: What kind of salad did you turn down? Salad is actually food that food eats so I agree with you there...say no to salad.. Synopsis: Good job on the condenser , this is the perfect type of video to raise awareness to other KIA owners to look at their own condensers and condition. It also points out what they're up against to have it repaired.
    4
  4362. But officer he did it before me.
    4
  4363. I have nothing except the DEEPEST RESPECT for Ray & Eric. I.M.H.O., both belong to an exclusive group of honest & educational (teachers) When I was young, seriously wanted to be a auto mechanic, however my life went in a different direction. Now retired from an HVAC career, that I enjoyed

  4364. pop the choke lever off, the studs can stay... but you'll figure that out soon lol, a new carb costs all of $10, but don't use the 160cc carb, get the larger 200cc carb and swap the linkages over... you'll love the extra power. end of season... just leave it running until the gas runs out. 600ml of oil... that's about a pint
    4
  4365. A whole bunch of double entendres for your enjoyment.
    4
  4366. Excellent, I’ve been eager to see this video. Thank you so much.
    4
  4367. Laughed my ass off when you gave the car the finger after you got the bushing out, lol.
    4
  4368. Just make sure you save the old oil filter insert in a safe place if/when you want to go back to the stock filter.
    4
  4369. Thx Ray for an informative and entertaining video and the recent upgrades to your Dirty Max FWIW I'm on my 2nd D'Max 1st was '05 LLY which I used for towing a 38' TH I installed the full Banks Power kit with Ottomind, Speed Brake ram air CAI which I put over 170k miles on without any issues. Now have '15 LML I purchased new with Banks IDash to pull my 40' TH currently has 75k miles with only emmision system issues that were covered under warranty. I'm running Delvac Extreme oil and Royal Purple filter that are large surface area like Cat you installed but fit on stock threaded adaptor and offer significsnt increase in filtration effecientcy @ about half the cost of Cat and have anti drainback valve. I live in So West US and use exhaust brake when towing on down hills and have found it tends to increase oil usuage compared to non usuage. I'm considering adding the upgrded Banks oil cooler kit to mine, maybe that would be a subject for another of your nformative videos as you also are making your truck work for you. Great success with your bussiness.

  4370. Hey Ray, be careful with those chinesium amazon special fuse packs. Louis Rossman did a video where he tested them and they took MANY times their rated amperage before blowing.
    4
  4371.  @ricbarker4829 They are married…Ray knows who the boss is! Lol
    4
  4372. Remember when people were saying you’d never make it with your own shop? Now the thought of you working for anyone but yourself seems insane. Wish all the blessings in the world to you and your family.
    4
  4373. Ray, you do an excellent job shooting and editing your videos! I'm striving to improve. I have a couple of car projects on my channel. Would be honored if you check them out!
    4
  4374. Well that's a first, never seen anybody use a chisel, air hammer, and a cut off wheel on a carburetor.
    4
  4375.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  this is true, I enjoy the videos you upload, no matter if they are 15 minutes or an hour, and if I miss a couple or don't finish them, I go back at some point and finish them. I do like seeing you do bigger jobs more for sure, it's really entertaining, and it's fun when it gets broken up into 2 separate videos every now and then, with the little cliffhanger of "will he finish the job?" Lol
    4
  4376. Yessssss new day with RAY! 😆
    4
  4377. I was screaming at my phone while I was watching this video. Love your sense of humor bud. Thanx for the laughter bud. You made my day! Have a blessed one.
    4
  4378. Yes we noticed...you forgot the insulated cover for the new battery!
    4
  4379. Like I’ve said before, If you were ever wondering why some things cost sooo much to repair…here’s your answer.
    4
  4380. Hi First
    4
  4381. ​ @RainmanRaysRepairs well, if you sleep in a basement and it's below grade, wouldn't that count as below ground? Or maybe a storm or fall out shelter.😂

  4382. Notification squad assemble!
    4
  4383. Just for curiosity, why couldn't you have used the old thermostat housing and put high temp RTV to seal the leak instead of replacing the whole housing? was there a crack in the housing or just a leak at the mating surfaces?
    4
  4384. We need a Rainman Ray in every shop across the country, no more rip offs no more hack jobs and happy customers... every where!
    4
  4385. Your comments regarding customer service and actually troubleshooting the problem were refreshing to hear. I am a software engineer/consultant- so not quite the same business- but I often see other companies whose engineers don't actually understand how to troubleshoot things. They make changes or fixes to software at the direction of the client without understanding why they are doing it or how this change impacts the system overall. I have definitely experienced this at a few shops in the automotive world too (especially our local Acura dealership). You bring them a problem (e.g. "my AC is not working on the passenger side") and somehow they hear "I want you to recharge my AC". No, I want you to troubleshoot the problem, and recommend the appropriate fix. Does it actually need the AC recharged or is it just the blend door actuator? Are the schrader valves bad or leaking? Recharging the AC won't do much if the valves are shot. They did this to my wife, and they billed her twice to recharge the AC because the first time they failed to troubleshoot the problem and notice issues with the valves. She took it back in, they noticed the valves, and of course had to do the AC again- and billed her for another overpriced recharge of AC in addition to extra labor and time for the valves. I was so pissed (not to mentioned we got hit in that car a week later on vacation in Florida and it was totaled anyways) that I started trying to learn how to do this stuff on my own- cars and software are both just machines. The only difference I have found so far between solving software problems and car problems is: 1. That I can't make my own car parts on the fly with my brain like I can with code (I have to order them, which is annoying) 2. I need more tools than a keyboard, and cars are heavy and annoying to work in/around sometimes (I can tear apart software all day long without needing a jack or a lift, but I will have bloody knuckles just trying to reach the drive belt tensioner on my Altima to replace the alternator) 3. I don't get greasy and dirty while fixing software (except mentally, because sometimes other people's code is just....disgusting) I can tell by the way you do your job and talk about the work that you are a true professional.

  4386. Ray, I have done both types of work-concrete and roofing, roofing is much harder but both are mostly done in Hot Weather which is a Bummer...

  4387. first! perks of being a member lol😂
    4
  4388. One of the Best Engines Chevy ever made-the 350 small Block--used in Sport Cars, Trucks, you name it, this engine was used in many vehicles. I have a 1998 Chevy 4x4 with same engine even tho it is fuel injected...
    4
  4389. Overkill is underrated.
    4
  4390. Instead of longer chains, weld on more D rings. The load needs better lateral retention which you would get with closer rings. You are not just securing for a normal ride home but for a SHTF incident. When I ordered my utility trailer I requested D-rings every 2 feet instead of just one in each corner. I've used them all at one time or another. That long crossed chain at the rear don't cut it. Separate chain on each side connected closer. All IMO
    4
  4391. 11:52 - He said the magic words, meaning that it is indeed not goin' nowhere.
    4
  4392. This would have been a good time to use one of the filter wrenches you were involved with at SEMA!
    4
  4393. Legend has it, the service tech is still asking Ray what he needs to order, to this day.
    4
  4394. 👍
    4
  4395. I guess Is this owner loves his GMC Jimmy he wants to keep it on the road
    4
  4396. So many memories.
    4
  4397. Great series of videos on this truck, super informative and quite entertaining 👍 Although you didn't show it I'm sure that oil fill cap got put into it's correct orientation before that truck left your bay. My OCD must be worse than yours as I could not have put that passenger seat in without using the non-OSHA air gun to blow the debris away 🤪 But most of all, Don't forget to have yourself a great day 👊
    4
  4398. When I was in the Army, we used to call Duct tape "100 mile an hour " tape. It had many uses, even in the Military. Another great video, Ray.
    4
  4399. I use my pocket screw driver... but I do have a few spark tests. I ever has one with a fiber cable so I can watch it when cranking.... please don't gap them plugs ever. If you read the box they come in they even say not to.. if they're not the right gap by looking at them get better plugs.

  4400. Notification squad Have a Great weekend!🔥🔥🔥

  4404. Great Ray, love to see your lovely family occasionally. I hope you all have a fantastic Christmas.
    4
  4405. It’s awesome lol
    4
  4406. Yeah most people working at the parts store today or any other jobs are clueless about what they are doing, and they don't give a crap either. You'll probably have better luck during the week when the commercial parts manager is there.
    4
  4407. Looks like that transmission didn't get Many fluid services in its life yikes @Rainman Ray's Repairs

  4408. I have a commercial retractable air hose reel that I’d like to donate to the new shop. I’m in Bradenton

  4409. i feel "safe" now

  4410. I didn't say you didn't put the abs wire back I was just asking if you did lol.

  4411. Welcome to private shop ownership ray im so excited u now get to experience what my last 10 years has been like. Wouldnt trade it for anything else. Ull experience pride like uve never experienced before
    4
  4412. What I wonder after watching this is how Ray walks around with that pair of sasquatch ball's hes got to be swinging to mess with an airbag unit. I'd rather defuse I.E.Ds buck ass naked with a chicken mask on.
    4
  4413. It will be our secret. I will not tell.
    4
  4414. I miss my 4.3 s-10. I got really good at changing those fuel pumps lol.
    4
  4415. Enjoyed all the videos on this job. My grandson is in school to be a mechanic, so I ordered him the hose clamp tool.
    4
  4416. I find myself watching this channel every time I come on YouTube. Keep up the bangers my dude
    4
  4417. Thanks for the video Ray. It was worth the wait for the final piece. I hate jobs like this. The purchaser really missed out on a prepurchase inspection.
    4
  4418. Six thumbs down? What is not to like about that video? Just how many ex-wives do you have, anyway?? "P - thanks for the videos - we love watching them.
    4
  4419. Wasn’t that original term of “Black Death” associated with the Ford FX15 compressor? 👍for the video series Ray!
    4
  4420. Good morning Ray. This is going to be a great video.😀
    4
  4421. Can you do a brake job on the Batmobile next?😊
    4
  4422. Been looking forward to this video since Lauren made the community post on her channel.
    4
  4423. It’s almost seems as though the Engineers goal is to utilize every square inch of space under the bonnet
    4
  4424. I think you need one of those steering wheel covers for both the Dirtymax and the tow truck! ROTFL!
    4
  4425. Now if only there was an F5 to drive it into.
    4
  4426. You just confirmed that hind sight is 20-20. As a retired avionics tech, I'd say you did logical fault finding.
    4
  4427. I havent finished your video yet but i had to say i feel your pain. I spent 5k on my triton d9 but just remember its a tool you will use regularly and it will pay for itself. Wont be for awhile but it will eventually
    4
  4428. Ray, what you also have to consider is the current economy. When inflation goes up this high, this quick it is somewhat A shock to peoples financial budget. You live in a state of a lot of retirees. My Social Security check increased by 5%, my retirement increased by 1.5%. And of course my Medicare increase took care of half of my Social Security increase. I’m not being critical but, until you are in the state of retirement and you’re not able to make extra money, then and only then will you understand what this president has done to our country.Not trying to make this a political platform however, it has became a part of every day life.
    4
  4429. Hi Ray great system! Just a comment on the wiring: the exciter wire is also used as voltage sense line. Run a light gauge wire with a 5 amp fuse to the rear batteries for the exciter. This will allow the alternator accurately sense the voltage and adjust for voltage drop in the heavy cable to the rear batteries. Is the second pin in the plug for the idiot light?
    4
  4430.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  looking forward to it seems pretty affordable, I've allways used brand specific tools/software which gives full options.
    4
  4431.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  I will be looking forward to your review
    4
  4432. is that a banshee monkey noise , or is one of the techs losing it lol. in the 60 and70 as a mechanic I used to yell out, TORCH !,or BIGGER HAMMER !or LONGER BAR !, MORE LEVERAGE ! . I was a caterpillar mechanic . LOL,

  4442. Dave is a great worker. I hope you are looking after him

  4443. Man, I did that with a forklift on my very first day of a job. Everyone just stared at me, nobody offered to help. Ended up pulling it out with my 1989 Nissan Pathfinder all by my lonesome.
    4
  4444. Man, If you were here in Phoenix, that vacuum Tee thing ( 13:40 ) would have broken as soon as the pliers got within inches of it. Where are all the REEEeeee comments? (even tho there is nothing to REEEeeee about)

  4445. Nice job Ray 👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏🌷

  4446. I speak Rainman… He meant no clouds directly overhead blocking the sun.
    4
  4447. Used to drive a 2000 dodge Dakota, took it in to get some suspension work because it was squeaking. My rear spring bolts were almost worn in half so I ended up just replacing everything, and I mean everything. Shocks, rear springs, tie rods, axle shafts, all the rubber. Ended up spending about 3 grand, my dad still drives it.

  4457. Welcoming back!

  4458. Yes Ray, your content is always moderately entertaining 👏.
    4
  4459. Love the content! Keep it going!
    4
  4460. This Motto you speak 👏 is what I have been preaching for a while now along with educating customers of what is being done and what they can actually handle in their own... we may yet change the world 🌎
    4
  4461. Your favourite car Ray 🤣😂 the Scooby as we call them . With a engine made from. Butter 😂
    4
  4462. After teaching us students how to repair a multitude of different types of vehicles you must be mentally and physically exhausted. Tell Lauren the "Wife Unit" that I really appreciate that she is there to support a husband and father👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾. Ray keep doing wat y'all are doin to help us DIY'ers who may not be able to afford having our vehicles repaired. You really to simplify vehicle repairs 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾🤜🏾🤛🏾
    4
  4463. 10.000% improvement, this must be Floridian percentage, normal is 100% the maximal percentage, a car is 100% car, take the engine out and your left with about 75%😅
    4
  4464. Not many people understand DC AND AC voltage, amps, and draw. What you created is a working model. VERY Well Done!
    4
  4465. I know your pain Ray, just getting over the creeping crud myself, glad you are better bud!

  4466. Notification squad assemble!

  4467. No Rust under there....our cars are trashed here

  4468. Why are you still one arming it? Thought ur buddy bought you a head mounted cam? Fun stuff Ray Ray!!!
    4
  4469. Any husband who truly loves his wife knows that her goodies are his goodies and his only! Love the way you run your channel.
    4
  4470. Bye Dave, please hurry back! Its scary in here alone with Ray 🤣
    4
  4471. Looks like ethanol damage to me. Maybe the car is too old to be proof to the ethanol percentages of now. This didn't get hot. It's chemically half-disolved.
    4
  4472. Don't understand how them spam post get past auto mod when I post legit links and they get auto modded
    4
  4473.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  hey Ray I've deleted 8 pornbots called Dessy so far on this video...
    4
  4474. Haven’t actually been watching the video, however I heard a bit on the trolls. Troll for the day and your doing it wrong or whatever they say 🧌. Hope that gives you a laugh, have a good day everyone. Hanging curtains for wife so I can go fishing 🎣🎣🎣🎣

  4475. 👍👍 Ray you gotta get your own shop!
    4
  4476. Some one had fun with the filters

  4477. Looks like you figured out how to use that Apple

  4478. Really enjoy your videos. Thanks

  4479. Good Saturday morning to😃 you and yours👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Raymond from Chicago, 🌬hope this day is GREAT😁 keep the good content coming🏆 BROTHER !

  4480. Very cool intro!
    4
  4481. Cool intro !!!
    4
  4482. Like the new intro 👍🏼👍🏼🇬🇧
    4
  4483. Very cool Ray, that you got to meet the Ultimate Grand Master of Diesel performance himself, Mr. Banks🤘
    4
  4484. I really liked how there was ultra new and ultra old plant and equipment in the production line.. It just goes to show a state of the art factory can have very old equipment that produces high quality, high end products just as well as the purpose built new equipment. The fact that Banks also uses their in-house products that they sell to the public as part of their testing equipment shows the confidence they have with their own products. They stand by their products and their reputation stands by their products. One day I will have a suitably modified vehicle worthy of their products.
    4
  4485. Folks lets help Ray get over a million like other valuable repair channels. As a DIY'er these videos are very instructional and help me if I must tackle a similar vehicle for a friend sumone in need easier. I do it to keep my skills honed and helps keep me at tymes deal with my constant nagging pain.
    4
  4486. Just ordered some oil. Thank you Ray.
    4
  4487. The defective water-pump was probably the initial problem, leading to overheating, blowing a head gasket. A lot of unnecessary repairs.
    4
  4488. The radio is wort more than the vehicle as a whole.
    4
  4489. Sometimes the copyright thing plays out for the better so viewers dont get ear raped by gay latin dance music..
    4
  4490. That’s not the NASA soldering method! Hahaha. Keep up the good work Ray.
    4
  4491. When soldering try putting the iron under the wires. Heat rises and will heat up the wire to get the solder between the wires better. A lot of times you can melt the solder right onto the wire but watch you don't melt the insulation. Nice videos!! "2 retarded cam shafts" had me laughing.
    4
  4492. You need to get your own workshop so We don’t have to listen to that crap in the background!! Great videos though.
    4
  4493. "So it's got 2 retarded camshafts" - Giggity!!! xD
    4
  4494. Does the position of the camshaft lobes affect the amount of torque needed to tighten down the rocker bolts, or not by enough to matter?
    4
  4495. People unsub because they THOUGHT they saw a gun!?! What is this, the SOYING of America? Anyone that leaves over guns is probably a good loss. REEEEE! My SAFE SPACE is violated, quick, to the CRY CLOSET! Gunses are like scary! I feel faint, pass me my soy latte!
    4
  4496. Copy/Pasted - Liked and replying so Ray sees it. We all know he likes his job so much, he does it twice.
    4
  4497. Awesome video. Thanks for the code Ray, used it to pickup up some temp sensors and extension cables to complete my setup.
    4
  4498. He should chrome the fan belt to make it nice and shiny 😂
    4
  4499. day-um! just to say, i'd sure rather change the bearings on my 01 silverado. cake walk compared to that. but, engineers don't work on what they design.
    4
  4500. Found your YouTube by accident. I have no idea why I find it so entertaining! Keep up the great work.
    4
  4501. Loud noises, Troy.
    4
  4502. Some folks don't understand that some companies have generous replacement policies as a marketing tool. They know you will pay high dollar and continue to buy more with that policy.
    4
  4503. I think you torqued the plugs in the wrong sequence...Just kidding Ray. Good video.
    4
  4504. Dat intro... xD
    4
  4505. sick intro, fits your videos style
    4
  4506. Where's the dog?! (Those chickens are super chill!)

  4507. Stay safe brother!! Prayers inbound that it’s nothing more than wind and rain.

  4508. Holy $hit, he’s fortunate he wasn’t seriously injured! What a mess.
    4
  4509. Another good job and another happy customer. Your shop is going to be very, very busy.
    4
  4510. Believe it or not he can get over $2,000 in that condition for that Regal. G bodies are in demand in the lowrider community
    4
  4511. i love how in the background you can hear the "Oh no, Oh no, Oh no no no no no" song. lol
    4
  4512. Here every car has to go to a garage for a safety inspection each year. You have something similar in the states?
    4
  4513. Ray, that was a hilarious cut. Immediately after you said you'd try to do it in one take, you cut to outtakes from the previous brake job video. Please tell me that was intentional.🙂
    4
  4514. It really does suck getting disturbed while you're busy because your customer doesn't trust you while you're just trying to do the job and move on with your day, but that's life sometimes.
    4
  4515. Good morning!
    4
  4516. Hello Ray from Australia :) Thanks for pt 2 Also..
    4
  4517. Why is it 'always at night'? Glad your getting through.
    4
  4518. Somebody left the garden hose on.
    4
  4519. Put it in reverse so the engine will spit out the water 👌
    4
  4520. Ray , please don't go on a test drive without us anymore , we love the drive. It always gives us a little time to chat about all sorts of interesting information .
    4
  4521. Like your style and humor
    4
  4522. I enjoy watching and listening to you talk about this and that. Like we are all standing there talking with you
    4
  4523. It's sad you feel the need to teach people how to drive. Shit they should've learned to get that piece of plastic.
    4
  4524. Yep, DIYer here also. What I've learned from Ray is how to be more efficient.
    4
  4525. Nice and shiny
    4
  4526. Welcoming back!
    4
  4527. Ray reads comments and "that's a good thing "
    4
  4528. Hello! Maddening that removing bolts might just be easier with a hot/warm engine. Reducing the chance for burns can make removing bolts harder. BTW Welcome Back! Only just looked at your COVID-19 "vacation" video. As you are in Florida [correct?] natural virus immunity might be acknowledged for employment purposes -- and protected -- unlike some other states. Interesting that there is a noticeable difference (TO MY EYE) between the sensor outputs. I'm guessing that is realistic due to differences in cylinder functions.
    4
  4529. Good work fella! I've watched a good bit of your videos lately. You always learn something new even being a car person. Greetings from the land of vikings :-) BTW have a speedy recovery
    4
  4530. That one is faster than ours 🧐 On another note, hopefully you feel better 🙂
    4
  4531. 🤣 I came to say the same thing. 😂
    4
  4532. Another great series Ray. I watched every minute. Thanks!
    4
  4533. When your powers combine you are master machanic.
    4
  4534.  @305miamifishing9  You can "like" your own comments.
    4
  4535.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  Yeah, they've evolved to have totally believable, really real conversations. Because, you know, comment sections totally look like this everywhere else on youtube, right? Right?
    4
  4536. "Lowest Common Denominator --- kinda like society". Excellent!!!!!
    4
  4537. :People are entitled to their opinions, but I really like the way this channel works. That's why I am here. Thanks Ray.
    4
  4538. Eric O.calls it the money light,lol
    4
  4539. I'm currently doing drive line ujoints and carrier bearing on my truck. That carrier bearing is no joke, so I can totally get the struggle of seating those bearings and races! Great job Ray!
    4
  4540. Sorry to hear you broke your Rigid. Your much to young for that.
    4
  4541. First 5! GOOD MORNING RAY AND THE WIFE UNIT! Along with the new employee TROY! Roger in Pierre South Dakota
    4
  4542. My workout video for today, nice
    4
  4543. pin of shame
    4
  4544.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  , as it should. I was kinda feeling sorry for myself today and read his post. Then I realized I am not that guy and felt a lot better about myself.
    4
  4545. Oil change takes approximately 10-15 mins... do you really believe the entire crank case including every oil journal is completely bone dry? You've obviously never YouTubed what the internals of an engine looks like to understand how they lubricate with teaspoon sized reservoirs located at each "wear" part... Everyone feel free to entertain this shop lesson further for the less fortunate keyboard cowboys among us!
    4
  4546. Glad to have you back Ray! You kicked that 'rona outta here! btw, aren't most OEM oil filters only efficient to about 20-25 microns? Getting something down to 2 microns would be hella expensive! Also never saw the need to prefill - if it was that crucial then the top down filters would be farked!
    4
  4547. I am a new viewer I love watching you fix cars
    4
  4548. In order to replace the A/C compressor on a Lotus it looks like it is easier to go in through the tail pipe..
    4
  4549. It’s a shame you could not get OEM replacement part . Because that was to difficult to do twice if aftermarket fails. Lol that linkage clip was just like the ones on my 70 440 six pack linkage on vacuum secondary’s 😀
    4
  4550. It’s way less a scary procedure using that compressor than ratchet straps…
    4
  4551. Ray, just like you I learn something new everyday. Unfortunately, I worked with my nephew in his shop and he would never admit that he didn't know everything. As much as I tried to educate him, he had a giant chip on his shoulder. I'm from the old school, I didn't have any internet in my day. I'm still learning how to work on lots of different machines. This is why I watch your videos and others. None of us are greater than all of us. Great videos brother 👍 👏 👌
    4
  4552. Was walking past the shop at work and one of the trailer mechanics asked “ what’s that mean? Reusing cotter pins damages my soul!” I responded with “if you have to ask, you don’t know the struggle….he just laughed!!
    4
  4553. I let the weight of the car down onto the stand, then raise the jack until it is barely trying to lift the car. Double redundancy. I've known of people seriously injured. And if anyone insists that leaving the wheel on will make things safe... Go watch some videos of front ends coming off the ground when hitting a speed bump too fast. Or something along those lines. Ain't nobody man enough to take a 1,500+ lb full-body punch, and walk away smiling.
    4
  4554. That Nissan pickem up must be a good series of videos. It's been on both lyfts for weeks.

  4556. Hey, I’ve painted grass many times. It’s how I keep it green in the summer here.😄
    4
  4557. That truck looks pretty good for a 300K+ mile unit! Well taken care of.
    4
  4558.  @CrazyCat229  ain't that the truth 😅 lol

  4559. The next destination of the Jaguar is not the dealer, but the salvage yard.

  4561. Merry Christmas, Ray!
    4
  4562. Happy Thanksgiving Ray.

  4563. Sludge Week at Rays is like Shark Week on Discovery......NJ

  4564. Happy Thanksgiving from Panama City Florida.

  4565. Woohoo notification squad 🔥 Another great video and on turkey day!!!!
    4
  4566. Always enjoy your videos. Stay safe over on the Westside. I'm over on the Eastside below Daytona. Going to be a bit windy soon.
    4
  4567. On today's episode of things that make jobs take longer, manufacturing errors from suppliers. Buy American kids.
    4
  4568. Thank you Ray for sharing a part of your life with us basement dwellers lol.
    4
  4569. This legitimately pissed me off.
    4
  4570. This was actually kinda interesting like this guy!!
    4
  4571. "Go to your home" Every time you say that I can't help but remember Happy Gilmore lol
    4
  4572. Ray talks like we are there with him. Like we are the customer and explaining what is wrong with the vehicle and how he's going to be repairing it. Some of us watching are old facts that are no longer physically able to do this work anymore and we're almost transported to Sarasota and standing there having a cold drink bull shitting with Ray. If you don't want to be part of our conversation, go to another shop and watch them. We're all happy with how Ray does his videos. I wish some others would go to his way of doing videos.
    4
  4573. I don’t think I’ve laughed so far hard at repair video as I have now 😂. I love the scotch tape fix, that was great.
    4
  4574. Nice to hear you open up about these jerks. Thanks for all the great videos.
    4
  4575. could tell your hitch wasn't completely, properly over the ball, but you couldn't hear me yelling, Haa Interesting and entertaining vid, Thanks
    4
  4576. The fact this video was posted lets me know you survived this ordeal, fortunately! That's a lotta load!
    4
  4577. Don't forget your flashlight in wheel well

  4578. Welcoming back!

  4579. It is not an ADD Tangent. Its a Side Quest.

  4580. Hey Ray, ADD just means you’re capable of getting lots of stuff done all at once!

  4581. Is that the diesel golf that had a load of carbon build up? 🤔 you're doing great 👍

  4582. Hie

  4583. Best Channel on YouTube..right here!!!!

  4584.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  Do you know how to tell when it's payday at the shop . They'll be a Snap-On truck sitting outside . lol
    4
  4585. I think the customer bought someone else's problem from them without knowing ( I think) how bad it was...
    4
  4586. I instantly went to the description for the link for those pliers. You are awesome man
    4
  4587. You should be poppening the bonnet!
    4
  4588. 37th! Hope you’re having a great Saturday morning Ray,Lauren,Dave,and Justin? The newest employee? Roger in Pierre South Dakota

  4589. The fresh air damper failed in open mode on my Tiguan under warranty. Seems to be a common issue. I think it even had a fault code stored deep down in the confusor but no MIL light.
    4
  4590. Yep,, I like how you approach your tasks. Always thinking outside the box like a real technician instead of a parts changer.
    4
  4591. i do this once a month on our cars I am glad you showed it as many do not know what to do over here in the uk when you are taking a test to drive a car on your own you have to know some of this ,thanks for the very informative video
    4
  4592. Morning
    4
  4593. Two videos in one, no waiting, nice!
    4
  4594. Dude ... I just wanted to say ... thank you for all the great lessons ... and I think you are a great guy, father and Husband !!! I have two kids ... in their early thirties ... they both graduated from college and are doing well ... I think you are on the same track !!! God Bless you and your family friend !!!

  4599. Someone has too much time on his hands :) one of the best video intros I've seen in a while
    4
  4600. Owner should think about getting a different insurance company if the insurance company wants to have shops repair cars with used parts.
    4
  4601. I noticed in the last video, that one of the four black plug things was missing during the reassembly that fit into the casting below the solenoid valves; only three are present in the casting and at one point the missing fourth one is visible stuck to the old gasket. I don't know what that plug does but it might be critical for operation.
    4
  4602. notification squad!🔥🔥🔥
    4
  4603. So what you are saying is it's going to get down to about 70 degrees!
    4
  4604. Hey I got the first like today 😎😁👍
    4
  4605. One a week would do Ray, your content is golden for us guys who like to fix are own stuff.
    4
  4606. The “Circle Back” line was pure gold. Thanks for the laugh.
    4
  4607. Hr probably has more unsubscribed viewers than subscribed ones, but I'm glad narrowing it down to 1 in 58k makes you feel special. ❄
    4
  4608. Good morning Ray. Another great video on the way.
    4
  4609. Okay, once again, the name of the game is get Ray's subscriptions up to 500K by Christmas. It's easy to do, check to see if you're still subscribed, or hit the subscribe button if you're not. Also, tell your friends and family about the channel even if they have no interest in mechanics of vehicles. Let's get those numbers UP there, please.
    4
  4610. Sounds like you need a bigger garage with more lifts ... hint hint 😂
    4
  4611. Ray great video...!!! Looking forward on that field trip video!
    4
  4612. Maybe it’s a good thing he went to the dentist they got him the help he needed. Hope the guy make a full recovery
    4
  4613. Count on me for $100
    4
  4614. That’s terrible news. Thank goodness he has a support team like you guys. I’ll say some prayers for him, and for his Drs to make all the right choices.
    4
  4615. Weird. I don’t get a notification for this video. Good thing you linked it on ur other channel
    4
  4616. Please do not take down the video and do not let other people discourage you on what you feel and how you feel it's totally up to you how you do your videos and if there's a few bad apples out there please block them or delete them I hope everybody is doing well and stay safe out there
    4
  4617.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  I'd come pull you out. We know a Jeep wouldn't be able to......
    4
  4618. Ray saying more Pry bar, is the equivalent to Christopher Walken saying more cow bell on SNL..
    4
  4619. The noise you heard while driving is from the exhaust hitting the drive shaft. Your undercar cam showed it Vibrating with the noise. Happy Thanksgiving Ray and family

  4620. The Copart forklift dented the shield on the fuel tank and muffler

  4623. hi ray I'm in Australia and new years day here is public holiday everythink is close do you have same holiday over there
    4
  4624. Putting your work on YouTube is asking for a ripping. That's half the reason people watch these things.
    4
  4625. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 I don't miss a single one. It is the highlight of the day and the first video I look for.
    4
  4626. Great work Ray as always.
    4
  4627. 🤣🤣🤣 every time I do belts on vehicles and our shop, if there is more than 1 belt, I ALWAYS make them face opposite of each other, mostly to annoy the other tech in the shop with OCD 🤣🤣
    4
  4628. Soooo I guess that we have to welcome you to the low end of the heavy duty side of the shop totem pole and anoint you with the light medium duty wrench of excellence. You have done well grasshopper now flourish and grow into the great heavy duty tech your meant to be 🤣
    4
  4629. Tool boxes have wheels for a reason. We in the industry know it well.
    4
  4630. I wish you success in the next stage, and I hope you will rent a private place to work and open a garage for you only to build for the future and not to work for anyone at all, but to be ultimately your own property. Good luck
    4
  4631. Thank you for all the great content. We’ll be here for the next part of your story.
    4
  4632. Good morning Ray and ARod. Great shop. What’s up!!! Green subscribe button👍. Hit it you will not be sorry. Also each of you have a great day.😊
    4
  4633.  @kits2169  Holy crap! You came back later and added a whole diatribe to your previous silly comment. Now you're claiming Ray does all sorts of things wrong. 1: Ray DOES torque things down, INCLUDING wheel nuts, he just doesn't show every little detail on every single job. He could but this video alone would be something like 20 or more hours long as it took him something like 3 long days working on this thing. 2: The running in with power tools is iffy to me but, he's got a very practiced hand and does start them gently till he knows it's started and I haven't once seen him ever get cross threaded. 3: He absolutely DOES follow a cross pattern/star pattern! Are you blind or just a fool? 4: He sprays brake clean around, wipes things out like diffs that may have areas it can lay and ANY internal areas he gives plenty of time to evaporate too. Even if some did mix with diff or engine oil, it will evaporate out of it the first time it gets up to running temperature, it DOESN'T though! 5: He does ALWAYS rechecks mounting points, he several times in various videos has stressed the importance of doing EXACTLY THAT! Again, do you want 20 hour videos! He adapts to the vehicle and customer's needs, so occasionally is obliged to improvise but, only if it suits the situation. You can avoid him but don't talk crap you're wrong about you sad little fool.
    4
  4634. Lol, epic ending 👍 Ray owns the interwebs today 😂
    4
  4635. No one gonna talk about the sound @8:07
    4
  4636. Rev up other people's engines! I love it!
    4
  4637. Ray, It is hard to come across good and honest mechanics. You are an HONEST and caring person! You know your job and perform an excellent service. I enjoy your videos very much. Keep them coming. Thank You.
    4
  4638. You got me with the angry pliers, I was just sitting and sucking air through my teeth and thinking oh no, good one!
    4
  4639. I don't like impatient people. It's like something we deal with in every service industry job. Im Always a patient when I need to wait at the dealership. I have my phone and Netflix in this case. I will say I do like the location of the cartridge filter on that car better than the way it's under and upside down on my Tacoma.

  4640. No cow poop was stepped in during the making of this video.🐮🦶💩🐮🦶💩

  4642. Hello from Denmark. I've always wondered if customers have returned or commented on a repair by following you on this channel? Keep up the good work, I've learned a lot when it comes to automotive repairs. Though I'm an electrician I'm now not so scared when it comes to dig in a bit and loosen some screws. 👍
    4
  4643. Congrats on the fleet account ray awesome job!!!
    4
  4644. Part 1 and Part 2 on the same day, great!
    4
  4645. I like the new intro, 👍 but you should have the Angry Pliers in there somewhere🤣
    4
  4646. I am happy to see you didn't bleed the system, my Dad who recently passed, he was a Caterpillar and Army Hydraulic Engineer and Mechanic, and he always said when watching folks do brakes who do not open the system, still bleed the brakes, it would crack us both up. 32+ years as a Mechanic/Tech now and unless I open the system, I don't bleed or of some issue has come up which it never does, Dad was right. Nice post. Thank you.
    4
  4647. I love your channel
    4
  4648. Well done! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Greetings from Killyglen, Larne, County Antrim, Northern Ireland 🍻
    4
  4649. Greetings: FYI… If I remember correctly, on the Fluke meters even from Way Back When, the reading you get when there is no resistance on the meter relating to an open circuit is “Zero-L” meaning…wait for it…No Load. So the O isn’t an O, it’s a Zero. No hate, just info. Good videos. Won’t even tell you about “to” versus “too” in the screen wording during the test drive in the Jeep yesterday. Oops, I did. Again, Ray…no hate from me. You’re a good mechanic and coming from an old fart like me…that’s one heck of a compliment! Be safe!
    4
  4650. Been watching you're channel for a while,,,been around cars all my life,,and drag racing,,,you crack me up,,reminds me of my dad growing up,,,his humor was as dry as a martini lol..but he knows his shit.. and yes I subbed..

  4651. Lucky you the abs sensor comes out clean 8D . Good work fine sir! Really!

  4654. Everything survived except the magic cup. R.I.P.

  4655.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  Yes that is true but solar batteries are getting cheaper and cheaper just like the solar panels are and they are working on a new (Sodium-ion) batteries that will be even cheaper (made out of Salt instead of Lithium.
    4
  4656. Live longer! Prosper more Ray!

  4657. Red towels have their place and the blue peper towels have their place. I feel a good shop should have both.
    4
  4658. I used to work at a Subaru dealership. With the Ej25 sohc you don’t need to take the engine out. There is just enough room to slide the heads out. Now on the turbo Ej engines and the ej25d you do need to pull the engine because of the extra cam on the DOHC.

  4659. 1st comment? If not, who really cares? Does it really matter in the big picture? GOOD MORNING RAY AND THE WIFE UNIT! Along with the new employee TROY! Roger in Pierre South Dakota

  4660. Second to comment good morning hope all is well with everyone God bless you all in Jesus holy name ❤️🙏🏻👍

  4661. WHAT THERES 2 RANGERS IN A MECHANIC SHOP? impossible
    4
  4662. I recently rewatched one of your videos from about a year ago. Even with the frustration you suffered from in todays video, you sound way happier now than you did then.
    4
  4663. New join today Ray! People can suck... I'm sorry that they do. You do NOT!
    4
  4664. I too am from the east coast of canada. That thing is just way too nice and clean and rust free.
    4
  4665. Need to remove the meth lab also.

  4666. Holy...0:05 into the video, and I can SMELL the interior of that car....

  4667. As a Russian, I am offended. As a YouTube Commenter, I am lying about being Russian and offended for likes and attention.
    4
  4668. Hey Ray, I enjoy watching you every day and I rarely comment, but as a welding instructor I have a couple tips. You don't need the cup when welding with flux core wire without gas, it may give you more room and visibility in some cases. Also, the can of brake clean could have been a little farther away from the sparks, keep up the great work.
    4
  4669. 1:10 "... satellites are linkin' up in outer space..." 🤣Half-expected to hear your rendition of Morse code!
    4
  4670. Same, and I try to cut as much as possible
    4
  4671. Sup Big Clive nice to see you here.
    4
  4672. I don't usually make comments about "political" topics. But this one (that "invaded" one of my channels) grabbed my attention! Young buck over here has a fraction of the Geneva Conventions (plural) facts on hand. Ray you are completely within established international law by using a pitfall to disable a tank or other military vehicle. This would not case inhumane harm to an individual. Pitfalls meant for people are considered inhumane under Geneva Conventions because of the high potential for a prolonged/inhumane death (as if there is such thing as a humane death during war)! Maltov cocktails used on people (civilian, law enforcement, military, wounded, or red cross member) is considered a war crime under the Geneva Conventions. The one thing I completely and totally agree with in that whole conversation. I anyone threatened my country, my home, or my loved ones! I would not hesitate breaking any law to keep them safe and free! On a side note. I love your content and watch it every day. Almost caught up with all past content as well.

  4673. double teaming the struts like a Boss Team 🥰🥰😋💕

  4674. Nice work brotha!! Warms the heart to see someone who goes the extra mile to do things right.

  4676. Last proportion valve I saw was on a 96 caprice

  4677. I have to say that I enjoy watching your videos I'm not a mechanic but I do fix most things on my cars, this weekend it will be replacing a ac clutch on my 2013 rough I'm sure I will cuss abit lol but you don't loose control on your videos lol keep the videos coming..
    4
  4678. You did what I NEVER do lol. Customers are to iffy to be proactive like that. It will bits ya more then it won't. Never assume the customer will do the right thing. Remember, you might be ASE but the customer ALWAYS like to pretend they know more. Just wave goodbye and tell them to enjoy their up coming tow truck ride.
    4
  4679. AvE has a great video about was actuators.
    4
  4680. Dam the fact that Troy has no clue what the movie face/off is makes me feel really old. Lol and I was born in the 80's
    4
  4681. Not just Florida, many states the traffic lanes are suggestions. 😅😂
    4
  4682. It doesn't help with the CVTs that the manufacturers say the transmissions these days have "lifetime fluid" - whether for "lower cost of ownership" or planned obsolescence, either way the effect is people think they don't need to change their transmission fluid and then they complain that their transmission is toast right about the time their warranty ends.

  4686. The customer should be in for a shock when they find out their repair bill is a whole lot cheaper.

  4687. Hi! GOOD MORNING RAY AND THE WIFE UNIT! Along with the three new employees! Can’t mess around with the steering while lifting a truck. Some people don’t think about that issue. Roger in Pierre South Dakota

  4688. I can't speak for everyone, but I appreciate the twice-a-day updates that you have managed to push out. I felt like i was there with you, and my heart was racing when you were running around to get things secured. I'm glad your family survived this one. I hope your shop survived, too. I feel like there might be a "water damage week" incoming.
    4
  4689.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  🤣🤣🤣. Then it's normal.

  4690. With driveshaft bolts you should always use thread lock or lock tight so the bolts will not come loose. I have seen driveshaft bolts come out without that stuff.

  4691. Ray - how many laps of that block have you done in your career there? Scary amount I’ll bet!

  4692. 4:19 a mechanic pissing into the engine

  4693. Congrats on the new job!!!👍🏻💪🏻

  4694. Congratulations!

  4695. Godspeed to Rays Auto Clinic and so glad you are back in business.

  4696. I thought I was the only nut that lined up the center caps with the tire valves. Nice to know I'm not alone. 😁
    4
  4697.  @kelseymafia  lol, 12:56 he literally reads out the engine oil the car uses, you and the OP are idiots, he knows and did use the right oil, unless you can prove otherwise...
    4
  4698. That "wipe me down" reference earned you points here. 3 deep, lil phat rip! Thanks for the vids
    4
  4699. You can fix any of my vehicles anytime, buddy. Gloves or no gloves, your knowledge and experience will get the job done properly. Thank you for being in the industry and doing quality work 😎👍

  4700. Ray, it’s noisy and stinks but that damn 7.3 litre is the best engine we’ve ever had on the farm. My 7.3 buried every GM and Dodge. Make as much fun as you want. I’m still working my old Ford while the GMs and Dodge guys are buying new ones. You’re a great mechanic and I love your problem solving skills, it’s awesome to watch and learn from you. Unfortunately you’re a bit weird about your favourite vehicles. 🤣
    4
  4701. I have the Pedal COmmander in my civilian Sport Explorer and it is very similar to your pedal monster. as said, it fine tunes your throttle response. love mine too.
    4
  4702. I had a 2004 Sierra. Lost oil pressure locked up the engine. Come to find out it was that stupid o ring on the pickup thay broke. Awesome video sir
    4
  4703. Listening to you talk is why I come here. I learn things.
    4
  4704. Hey ray been a sub for a long time let me know if you need anything I would love to help you if you got some mechanic problems, I went to college for Automotive so if you have any questions for any vehicle, let me know. I’d be happy to help and nothing is coming up so let me know I can always help.
    4
  4705. Used to be a Service Writer in a dealership... 1000000000% confirm most of this. I don't know that I would automatically assume that it was always malicious. Everything that came across our desk to get approval from the sales dept had the parts list and all that jazz. Everything was recorded on the ro history. None of this 'disappeared' parts quotes tied to it etc. It is awful to have to deal with these companies calling for approvals / trying to adjust prices.
    4
  4706. The red jack rolling by its self was funny Ray
    4
  4707.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  its the internet you re probably not always on it since you re working but i would take em as opinions and ignore em thats what internet comments all are. If you respond some people just feel the need to convince you are wrong for some weird reason or another.
    4
  4708. I could see charging 3 hours for this. Not only do you need the right tools you also need the knowledge. 3 hours doesn’t seem unfair
    4
  4709. Stay strong against the rona Ray, take it slow coming back too.
    4
  4710. I’m first
    4
  4711. bro you really had me biting my nails reading the title but CONFIRMED!! Nice!!
    4
  4712. As with almost all the videos, a bit of comedy along with a plethora of information. " ouch, it got me" spark plug shock sucks real bad.
    4
  4713. I have to giggle when I hear some one say "more better". The image that comes to mind is my 5th grade English teacher going into a melt down and screaming "that is not proper English!!!".
    4
  4714. Us gear heads understand your reasoning sir. Job well done
    4
  4715. I usually mess with scammers for fun
    4
  4716. Did he say “giggity”?!
    4
  4717. Great video 1st video of this was a teaser glad u did a full video very pleased
    4
  4718. I hope they got their money back

  4719.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  Hey Ray, I call the little ones tricycle motors!!!! ✌
    4
  4720. My Escape has the same problem! Wtf! Would this job be easier with the oil pan removed? I need to clean up my pan too.
    4
  4721. Caught a video on time 👍🏻
    4
  4722. First comment on this good day to you Ray hope your good love the content but the most important thing is to have your self a great day
    4
  4723. first here
    4
  4724. Ray, those assemblies are made by a few companies (very few) and Jaguar buys them from said company. search for a manufacturers part number and you might find the exact same assembly is also used in a completely different car.
    4
  4725. 1:40 "It's funny, in two years this is gonna be a classic." No, no it won't. It will just be two years older and clunklier. Those 4.0l engines, though, were really good. That odometer shows that.
    4
  4726. Good afternoon, Ray. Hope you are having a restful weekend.
    4
  4727. I guess they promoted all the triton engineers
    4
  4728. If someone is doing this at home, you should flush out the reservoir. I do not know if he did or not. But contamination could be in there. Moisture, wrong fluid etc. And could contaminate/ make seals go bad on mew master. 3$ to flush out with new brake fluid or all the time to remove and replace / bleeding again.
    4
  4729. Hi sr,have a good week, good video.
    4
  4730. Running slicks !
    4
  4731. A rattle? In a Ford? I believe that is normal, ha ha.
    4
  4732. I enjoy the videos, whether it's your personal vehicle and/or wife units or a customer vehicle. Always enjoyable to watch. It makes my day or evening.
    4
  4733.  @ralphmbellamy6517  Absolute TRUTH! Could you even begin to fathom the amount of brake clean that Ray would go through if he had a recharging can system filled via 55 gallon drum? GOOD GRIEF🙏💜
    4
  4734. Simple Maintenance. Love it!
    4
  4735. Reeeeeeeeeee you’re ruining the engine……..REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE wish you a merry Christmas…
    4
  4736. I love the way you figure shit out. I showed you to my mechanic and he is watching all your videos and learning!😊🇨🇦
    4
  4737. Glad you're on the mend. Thanks for digging up some old footage for us.
    4
  4738. now I know what the 2 ft bent needle nose is for

  4739. Hows the personal shop going
    4
  4740. Yeehaw I’m number one thank the Lord Jesus Christ amen ✝️✝️✝️🇺🇸
    4
  4741. no problems here.
    4
  4742. I used to love the videos but I’m getting a little tired of clickbait titles, even if they aren’t clickbait they are just too much
    4
  4743. Hey mate. I don't think your a pos at all. I'm glad that you sat down with the company in question and discussed what was said and are willing to hear and see how the company is making the product. It's how we learn and advise the customer if a product for your cars is going to good or rubbish. Keep up the good work and hopefully they let you do a video on the production of these injectors.
    4
  4744. Reeeeeeeeeeee Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. You didn't narrate the entire video in a German accent. Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
    4
  4745. That better be Genuine VW fluid from the dealership or it will blow up. Said by every fluid Nazi on the internet.

  4746. Ammo costs too much for such careless villainy, use a baseball bat.

  4747. The truth has been spoken.

  4748. Ray......Get on amazon get yourself the Astro led lights and get the wall mounter charger, I have two, great with very good magnets.
    4
  4749. You are correct about having already clicked the upvote. I do that at the beginning of each video, because I already know that I'm going to like it. P.S. I'm going to use your Scottish Do-Dee-Doo as my ring tone on my phone.
    4
  4750. Hell, I just turned 46 and STILL learning something new everyday. Watched your other video on removing stuck lug nuts.
    4
  4751. hey Ray stay safe! Keep us updated as you can :)
    4
  4752. Our Prayers are with all in the path !
    4
  4753.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  I've had those too. One of them even found me on a FB group to tell me that he thumbs down all my videos. I don't know why anyone would be like that.
    4
  4754. Ray does not leave justin in a corner in Danger👍👍👍 Don't Die today!!!

  4755. I enjoyed your video . Thanks for sharing .

  4756. Hey ray. As requested. Have a great weekend.

  4757. Welcoming back!

  4758. Don't read into the haters too much Ray. Bring back the Reeeee 😂
    4
  4759. Say wha you say . In England, we have a saying the truth Hurts . If people can’t stand the truth,that’s their problem .
    4
  4760. Staying in touch with home vicariously through your and Lauren’s vids, Ray. Don’t change. We all wince initially when we hear criticism about our work or products. Sounds like they focused on it already resulting in a better product. Looking forward to what your regular viewers know will be an equally unbiased and forthright Rainman Ray review after your factory tour. Btw, who else except you tackles such jobs in exceptional detail? They should be grateful to prove their improvements. From South Africa.
    4
  4761. Love your videos
    4
  4762. Was just searching for a new video….thanks!
    4
  4763. 4:10 Rainman you are a funny guy, I gets down with your channel and humor lol. If I ever make it to Florida, I gotta bring you my car!! We can always find SOMETHING that needs to be done.. i'm thinking shocks. :)

  4764. I'm a simple man I see a upload I hit the like button

  4765. That's the Ford Bass Pro Shop edition with a live well.

  4766. I know in one of the comments a person commented on who’s car Ray was working and yes he was thrilled
    4
  4767. BANKS MAKES SOME SWEET STUFF...NICE!!!
    4
  4768.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  Just looking out for you by asking. These days some people like to sue and hit the jackpot and home and business have to be protected. Best wishes for the new shop and looking forward to all the new videos! Hearing your kids in the background is delightful, what a great time for you.
    4
  4769. Thanks for the update Ray 👍. Take care of yourself and family ❤️❤️❤️👍 it. Get it done.
    4
  4770. All right man keep up the good work man
    4
  4771. I built my own gate opener with a garage door opener, 3 pieces of short fence posts, a couple of short pieces of 2x6, a couple of pieces of gutter, and a large plastic tub! Got the plans online! I have had to change it out twice (once due to lightning)but they last approx. 10 yrs (1/2 hp contactor grade cheapos)!
    4
  4772. When I grow up, I wanna be just like Ray
    4
  4773. Drilling things is the new pouring things. Thanks Ray!

  4774. Comment of the year: "I'll go Brake Kleen these next - that'll kill *anything*"
    4
  4775. Dude when your gagging I have serious doubts about how well you thought this through.
    4
  4776. Reeeeeeely interesting! Can't wait to see the dissection.
    4
  4777. Man did you say a trip down under, our bugs don't hide, they are that big you can saddle and ride them. I swear I saw one eating a Kangaroo the other night 🤣
    4
  4778. Ray, just pull the plugs, pour in some Marvel Mystery Oil into the cylinders and let it soak there a few days. Then, turn the engine over with your breaker bar, replace the plugs, fill the crankcase with oil and fire it up. It will be fine. It might burn a little oil for a while, if so, add some Restore to the oil and run the engine a long time. Change the oil and it will be as good as new...err umm..."almost" as good as new. That's a Toyota and they can take a licking and keep on ticking...sometimes.
    4
  4779. You and Ryan Hall Y'all are spreading almost exactly the same, excellent advice ❤
    4
  4780. Take Care you guys! 🙏 Remember to turn off the power at the main at the shop!
    4
  4781. Hey Ray, I've been warning you and a few others, because this is a massive storm. It's gonna blast us head on in Tampa
    4
  4782. Damn, that impact ratchet you bought is really sweet...I think we'll be seeing a lot of it in future videos!
    4
  4783. Uh, huhhh... So that's how you hold your camera in place when you're not holding it yourself...🤔😎🤔
    4
  4784. Me too!
    4
  4785. I installed a Monster Ram, Pedal Monster, 5" Monster exhaust, Monster Air Box, rear dif cover, and iDash in my 2012 Ram with the 6.7 Cummins. Well worth the money. I kept it emissions compliant and added a bunch of performance. I highly recommend Banks.
    4
  4786. Everyone knows, even Chinese people, that most things made in China are garbage. It has nothing to do with the people.
    4
  4787. Man, nice installation work! Not at the racist part yet :-O Do not want this perfect work to be debated by some $%^&*( Karen or Ken). And..."click" ... hahahahhahaha
    4
  4788. Doesn't matter if a customer's politics are Red or Blue, as long as the money is GREEN!
    4
  4789. I love it when Ray goes to "Chipmunk" mode
    4
  4790. Good day to you Ray another most excellent video Ray but the most important thing is to have your self a great day Ray
    4
  4791. Troy Unit seems to be a pretty cool guy.
    4
  4792. Just be you! That's why we watch your videos. You have a gift of narration and a good voice, along with a quirkiness that says you're real. Stop acknowledging the trolls, they hate themselves first...
    4
  4793. like always Ray,it was a great pleasure to watch your video!💪💪💪💪😊
    4
  4794. Dude it's not all bad, you're not dead!
    4
  4795. Another!
    4
  4796. 11:45 and that's why I love these videos. Imagine this being your car and having enough money to do new spark plugs but not the valve cover. then seeing this video and seeing the oil on the spark plug coils. That would seal the deal for me. Okay, so you're not blowing smoke or hey... that oil leak isn't that bad. Yes it is!! it's killing spark plugs, making your engine run bad, AND causing a leak. all that is made ONE HUNDRED PERCENT CLEAR at the 11:45 mark in this video.
    4
  4797. On the subject of DPH system, you forgot to mention the 10 of thousands to 100s of thousands of plastic containers the stuff comes in an less than 10 percent get recycled the rest are burned or end up in a land fill. So ya I don't think the ends justify the means on this topic
    4
  4798. You're spoiling us with the additional uploads Ray!
    4
  4799. The cable moving under such a huge current is pretty normal. The current from the starter generates a pretty substantial magnetic field, which repels itself if it's not perfectly aligned. The wire is not in a straight line, so it will want to push itself outward. The same thing happens with coils which will want to expand and push themselves apart under large field strength, or vibrate (buzz or whine) when there's an alternating current.

  4800. Plenty of life left in the old ones 😂😂😂

  4801. Industrial forklift like they use at LKQ
    4
  4802. Dude, thanks for the tip about rolling down the window when working on a car. I had a nice lady's car in for oil change and a rattle underneath. She goes in the car for some reason and takes the key out of the hole, drops it in the cup holder and locks it when she closed it. If I hadn't rolled down that window I would have had to get a locksmith. You the man.
    4
  4803. Honestly, there was no clarity needed. You did your job. People who act like that are the same people who fact check memes.
    4
  4804. Survived coronavirus; killed 2 weeks later by exploding coil spring on oil slicked floor

  4805. Thanks for the video Ray

  4806. Good morning Ray

  4809.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  put in the Ford Red orifice tube while you at it...its one size smaller...and it helps ...

  4810.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  you forgot the most important thing, I live my life a quarter mile at a time.
    4
  4811. We only watch to the very end to keep an eye on you make sure you don't make any mistakes 🙂
    4
  4812. "that was a victory doo de lee doo" - Ray. I laughed out loud multiple times during this one. Well done sir lol
    4
  4813.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  well that & those battery post anti-corrosion washers. ka-ching!
    4
  4814. With that extention, you could undo the filter cap from Canada!
    4
  4815. Wow a whole hour of Ray, time to chill on a Sunday afternoon
    4
  4816. What I was going to do today - not a damn thing (I'm retired don't judge me). Watch Ray's video..............aaaaaaaaand now I'm going to check battery terminals on EVERY. DAMN. VEHICLE. IN. THE. YARD. Murphy's Law is real and it will get you.
    4
  4817. Wow! Such a eerie story. Glad you are alive! Your truck is awesome and waaay more safe!! 😊👍
    4
  4818. you might want to close that space between the top of the radiator and the body
    4
  4819. A fan shroud will help air flow.The thermostat on the carburator is electric & needs a sensor to turn the choke on.Hopefully it's just the spider gears that are welded & you can just change them out.All electrics should be switched off with the key.
    4
  4820. Literally can relate to this story
    4
  4821. Don't worry, it will get better in 30 years.
    4
  4822. Welcome back Ray, I hope you feel better soon.
    4
  4823. Howdy Ray, it's great to see you today.

  4825. A hydraulic cooling fan is like vacuum driven wipers...
    4
  4826. Struggles of reality, this is real content. Keep it up Ray, love your videos. Not because I like seeing you struggle, but because I've been there too, and it shows real time problem solving. 10/10.
    4
  4827. I used to work in transport refrigeration, over the road tractor-trailer and industrial equipment air conditioning. You said one thing that made me want to jump up and down, "put it in a vacuum". First time I can recall hearing somebody say it right in years. I don't know how many times I've had to explain that we are not using a vacuum cleaner to suck the debris out of the lines and such. Just a little thing. Keep up the integrity in your work, we need more like you. Cheers
    4
  4828. excellent.. we need more mechanics and diagnostic technicians like you
    4
  4829. I have had an AC compressor leak right at the seals only leaked when running (building pressure). I always suggest swapping the valves first like you did and pull a vacuum. There is no reason to YOLO a compressor. Great work :)
    4
  4830. Or “I Ain’t Dead Yet Muthaf***a!!!” 😂
    4
  4831. Ray still alive!!
    4
  4832. Rainman really living up to his name today.
    4
  4833. Ray, your videos started popping up on my recommended section. I now can't stop watching them. I literally have binged your videos the last three days since i first saw it. You are a good and decent human being. I am sure you are exactly the same off video as you are on video. Keep doing great work and helping out the customers by doing the right thing! I will keep watching.
    4
  4834. I graduated u.t.i. in 08. Watching videos like this will definetly help you. Watch scanner danner and eric o at south main auto also.I still like watching these guys becuase we can alway learn from our peers and we can never know everything.
    4
  4835. How's the all lights on doing. Better visibility?

  4836. Did you use the proper pronouns when talking to the parts associate?

  4840. Yeah we had a Mercedes at the shop when I was taking auto body, it had been hit harder than Monica's knees in the oval office. Hated that pos
    3
  4841. If you get into a Mercedes that’s more than a few years old and doesn’t have a warning light on then something's wrong. There’s always something.
    3
  4842. Gooten tight
    3
  4843. You say you have a Yanmar tractor, but do you subscribe to Andrew Camarata's channel? You guys both have something in common from my perspective as a viewer... If you told me that I'd watch hour+ long videos of a guy push dirt around and do projects with tractors, and literally sit through the whole thing, I'd say you need to put down the pipe, and yet... There's Andrew's channel; Same with yours; If you'd told me I would in the future watch a mechanic crack a bunch of dad jokes and imitate the shop phone ringer while he diagnoses engines and fixes them... I'd have said that same thing, and yet... Here you are Ray with yet another viewer who watches the full length of all your videos... :)
    3
  4844. As soon as our Service Advisor has been told the check engine light is on, they ask the customer how long the Check Engine light has been on. If they say never, we have a picture from when we first cranked up the car. Customers will lie to get something for free. Not to say there aren't bad garages, too. Just CYA.
    3
  4845.  @rahuldogra  I heard that no matter what other Country's do about SMOG it isn't going to change anything. China & India are 80% of the Problem they would have to Have SMOG Laws like the rest of the world.
    3
  4846. It no reachy.😂
    3
  4847. Had a customer come in for a state vehicle inspection and then ten minutes later they called yelling that we messed up the transmission.
    3
  4848. Good thing you recorded it hahaha. Stupid customer trying to scam you.
    3
  4849. Yup has happened to me several times , did brakes on a car and then tell me the radio doesn’t work now🙄
    3
  4850. In a fallen world lying happens on both sides of the counter, not by all, but by way too many.
    3
  4851. that is not true. for someone that works on all types of cars he does a great job. if you work at a dealership and 90% of the vehicles you work on are the same of course you are going to be faster. The first several times you do a task are learning.. i do agree that many jobs are easily done at home with basic tools. but not everyone wants to do it so he can instead. just because i will glady rebuild my transmission in my garage doesn't mean my neighbor will even change a headlight. edit... sometimes it helps to take a few laxatives. the pressure of not having a healthy poop will put your body into a panic mood and release stress hormones causing aggressive behavior. if its been a few days since you had a good poop ask your doctor if laxatives would work for you.
    3
  4852. WOW, Are car companies competing for the, " Stupid Design " trophy?
    3
  4853. It's too bad you were bitten by the bean counters. Hats off to fessing up responsibility, I'd like to shake your hand.
    3
  4854. Keyless crankshaft. Stupid design. I've been a Ford tech for 19 years. Very stupid design.
    3
  4855. Fuck this this iam out....jumps on a forklift.
    3
  4856.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  my boss will come after you! He's director of safety!
    3
  4857. You could park that sucker in LA at a red light for a few minutes to get it stolen. Let insurance cover it if this doesn't work.
    3
  4858. I am addicted to watching your videos.. all out of upload date order, but that’s ok..it’s not a movie I should be working on my bikes in my garage.. but instead, I’m watching you 🤷🏼‍♂️😄
    3
  4859. Do you shake the vehicle before you lift it all the way up? Because at Tire kingdom it was policy to shake the car before just to be sure it’s correct I guess.

  4860. GOOD MORNING EVERYONE! Roger in Pierre South Dakota

  4871. No Ray . Use the shroud that you have on the other one . Them zip ties rub holes in the radiator. If you must use them you need to take bic pins and make channels fir the zip ties. .

  4907. The "STAR" bushing is actually a Lovejoy coupling, used in many motor drive applications. One more thing, I visited your merch website yesterday. I was taken aback that a bumper sticker was priced at $30 ! REALLY ?
    3
  4908. just a thought but to capture brake vibrations have you tried setting the camera on the steering wheel ? Love the vids keep them coming and I love seeing the shop banter makes me smile.

  4909. You picking on Peter. You knew where that oil went. Lol God bless

  4918. Merry Christmas Ray to you and yours.

  4919. So there is nothing wrong with the bearing but the tie rod is ignored even though the customer knows it's bad? It seems many people forget that fixing your car with the attention it deserves is for their OWN safety not just others on the road. As for myself, I take pride making sure my car is in good condition and my brakes and tires take top priority. Should I need to stop suddenly, I want to make sure my car will do it because lives depend on it- including my OWN! We should be grateful we have a car and the freedom it provides. Let's do it safely; We should never take our car for granted.

  4922.  @mart43  If the battery was low he'd know that, if the compressor was down for some reason HE'D KNOW THAT TOO. You don't have a clue whether he goes over those parts with a torque wrench off camera or anything else, he only shows what's reasonably interesting or educational. Go cry somewhere else, FFS.

  4923. Wow. If you wouldn't have flushed the unit you may have missed something!

  4924. Hope the 'rona recovery is going OK. We here in Auckland NZ are locked down pretty hard but I guess it's for the greater good. Was part #7 on the diagram ordered too...
    3
  4925. Power steering line repair please sir. And you are too modest on those super cables. Those are definitely "YOU WILL START OR I WILL MELT YOU WITH ELECTRICITY!" cables. I'm stealing your design by the way. Never fails if I have to jump someone you can't get close.

  4926. I have never seen a push button key release on a dodge with that type of key that is really f-ing weird I would have been really confused for a minute lol
    3
  4927. Hey Ray, like your bit. But you might have made a mistake with that parts drawing. You said that part number 6 was both lines, right? If I’m not mistaken, you should go back and look for the part number 7. It appears to be the other line.
    3
  4928. Napa sells those lines for trailblazers! I have an 08 and replaced the transmission lines. Even had them in stock no ordering!!

  4946. Has anyone noticed the tools being replaced are all different, as he uses them they tend to give up the ghost and need repair or replacement, now if it was the same wrench or ratchet that’s another story. I just see a guy making a living with some tools and knowledge. The breakage will come with extremely expensive tools with a warranty or not so expensive tools with a warranty, just how often you use it is the difference… Nice video Mr. Ray! Could you do the brake fluid flush/exchange on a vehicle similar to today’s video, that I would like to see.

  4957. No matter what you do in these vids, I always find them so entertaining, great commentary and explanation of what your doing. True I could do these things myself BUT knowing my experiences I'd come across a problem and be stuffed. YOU on the otherhand have a limitless knowledge of automobiles and make things look so easy. Keep up the great work there Ray.

  4962. Ray, our Napa, here opens every box and checks the product. I know the parts guys very personally, and they even check my stuff when I return the parts.
    3
  4963. To start out with, that is the foot switch for the high/low beam selector. Now how many actually remember the foot switch for the starter? As for the comments people are making, some have said this and they are right. No matter what side you are on, even in the middle, someone is going to have comments. I long for the days when you could say something and those that did not like it just scrolled on. As for living your life the way you see fit, I totally agree, as long as nobody is getting hurt, who should care? I enjoy your videos and almost always learn something new or a way to do something better!! Carry on and enjoy life to it's fullest. Tell Pete "Hi" and laughed at the play you two had with the clamp!!
    3
  4964. On a separate note, since you included the "let's go Brandon" slogan, which I fully endorse, a little reality check is certainly called for, especially in this situation, and especially for this crowd.. If you fall on either end of the democrat/republican spectrum, your a fool..If you think Biden is better than Trump, your a fool, If you think Trump is better than Biden, your a fool..Both sides are funded by the exact same billionaires, corporations, Wall Street, criminals, and both sides only represent the interests of this ruling class criminal cabal..Keeping the population divided protects their privilege, and the system that grants them power..A divided population is impotent(powerless), a united population is virile, capable of changing anything and everything..

  4965. Careful brother. Making jest toward the audience can backfire. A very successful channel doing a home build did that. They blocked contractors and belittled the audience. One website that mocked the hosts had a million subs while the original fell off completely.

  4966. Hey, just want to say, Im a fan of ur work. With that being said..I noticed u sprayed Pentrating Oil DIRECTLY into the intake..bad bad. On rag..good. Just constructive criticism

  4967. 90% of auto accidents are caused by operator error, only 10% by mechanical failure. Adding renewal testing and additional driver training on a lifelong curve for young and inexperienced and the aged drivers would be efforts more directed at safer roadways.

  4968. customer claims why did you change my battery :)

  4969. Good choice removing that bogus battery tag. But then again, who really cares. Customers will never look at their battery anyway. LOL Really enjoy your channel.

  4970. Great! You just voided the warranty....lol

  4973. How many mechanics can show a video of them cleaning off a toolbox and get 2.3K likes . There's only one Ray .
    3
  4974. Holy crap Ray you do realize that what you're doing is way beyond being just a mechanic...interior work is a specialty in and of itself...nothing like attending the school of hard knocks...you'll never forget the lessons learned the hard way😂!
    3
  4975. Appreciate the fact that you don't want to do this twice and you want to make sure it is right the first time.

  4978. Not a morning without Ray.
    3
  4979. I'm not sure why a person yelled at you, you are very intelligent ,you are most likely the most intelligent mechanic I've watched on you tube, there is not one thing wrong with how you speak I speak in a similar way myself, people have previously said that about me in the past ,I articulate that the person who has yelled at you may have issues on how he comes to vision with simple English and speaking in a way that people will understand so therefore that person is reflecting the anger they withhold inside to other individuals,

  4980. Rainman Ray's Repairs... Nice to see ya up and running. It's a work in progress so I'm looking forward to seeing it.
    3
  4981. Ray keep the good work up. The other guy says the video is to long. Well it is for good reason. There's never a reason why a job should be extremely quick. If you do the job too fast you might mess up with the job. Therefore making it even a longer video. So please continue doing your videos the way you are.
    3
  4982. First again!!

  4987. Give Ray a cane and a very grumpy attitude and we would have are own Dr, House. A brain working in analytical mode make for the best diagnostician.
    3
  4988. It is nice to see that a mechanic with years…probably decades, of experience and has probably removed and reinstalled that weatherproof cover hundreds of times, still struggles and probably cussed it out in his head. Thank you for being normal…lol

  5000. Not gonna lie, I cringe when the "Desoto raceway" crew does drag pulls on public roads and then posts it to their channel. Dumb, dumb, dumb decision especially when they have a race track at their disposal.
    3
  5001. I'm sure the sheriff is checking black Mustang plate registrations for the county.
    3
  5002. Ray, as a trucker, I feel your pain. You get jackwagons who do dumb things to see if the laws of physics apply to them, like making it three wide because this darwin award winner wants to get his award NOW. I hope you find him and you get to rip that rustang apart in front of him with the jaws of life while watches in cuffs.
    3
  5003. I think that was Paul pelosi

  5004. Also, get his cell phone number and give it to those people who text you.
    3
  5005. All that noise to go so slow lol. You handled that a lot better than I would've.
    3
  5006. Desoto racetrack is gone. It’s the Freedom Factory and Bradenton Drag strip. Your lucky enough for live close to Cleetus McFarland you should at least get the track name correct. 🤷🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤣🤣🇨🇦 There’s a Cleetus and Cars as well as a drag day starting on Friday with burnout contest and Le Mullets race over the weekend. Bet the mustang will be there.

  5007. We are nuts at one time or another. THat's what you were trying to say i think with the Almond Joy comment. Don't worry sometimes we feel like a nut as well.

  5008. Late Happy Thursday Ray and Cody.
    3
  5009. Ray, I've never been a professional mechanic, but have bent wrenches on cars, boats and airplanes for 60+ years and continue to do so. Why? Because with a cup of coffee in hand my morning is started with your videos. I learn so much and gain extra patience from watching you to see myself through the tough jobs. Yesterday I spent 5 hours laying on a deck, with my head at a odd angle to see through the opening under the deck to feed hose, attach clamps, and properly hook up electrical wiring, all with one hand. I hurt like hell this morning, but the install is good and done-thank you Ray.
    3
  5010. I saw the air hammer coming….🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

  5011. Ray.:..my man….come on dude!! ……you gotta warn me before you bust out a whole shelf of brake clean like that……spilled my dam coffee all over myself…….burns …..every where …….🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

  5026.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  I work in the wastewater treatment industry. When a sewer pumping station loses power we use diesel-driven generators or pumps to keep the sewage in the ground and moving to the plants. Otherwise it overflows into the streets and homes. We recently had shut down because it tried to go into regen without enough def. Even with the tank refilled it would not run past 600 rpm (need about 2k to pump) because of limp mode. We had to get a manufacturer tech to come and reset it. Because of epa they don't allow access to the software. So the environmentalists would rather sewage overflow into your home than a few particles get in the air during an emergency. Ridiculous.
    3
  5027.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  If I remember correctly, it costs somewhere in the neighborhood of $13,000 on a Tesla if you have it done by one of their authorized service centers. They typically last quite a while... Seems like I was told 80% rated capacity after eight, ten years, something like that. If you buy one new, and keep it for 20 years, you'll PROBABLY end up (slightly) ahead, all things considered. Especially if you already have - or are likely to get - solar power at your house (which doesn't do anything for the poor schmucks living in apartment buildings, lol, but their parents/grandparents/etc. should have thought things through before they all conspired to create a planet that has finite resources, EIGHT BILLION PEOPLE, and a constantly neutered space program). So - again, for the person who buys one new and keeps it for what today passes for a long, long time - it's no big deal. HOWEVER... The cost of replacing the battery pack is going to be a rather extreme example of sticker shock to the second - or third - owner who is dealing with an ever-decreasing time between charges, and who only has the past experience of being able to do a simple tune-up (or, at most, have a valve job or whatever done) in order to restore their vehicle's range. In my opinion, people who own electric vehicles ought to be a big portion of the money they save in fueling costs aside, as a sort of insurance against such a thing. And, as far as used ones go, well... everyone really should be aware of it. There's really nothing wrong with buying one that only has, for example, 80% (or even 60%) of its original capacity/range, as long as that range is still adequate to the purchaser's needs. There is , however, something very wrong with that decreased battery capacity - and battery life - not being reflected in the purchase price. I guess it's something that will eventually sefl-adjust, when the first five or so model years of "current generation" electric vehicles start requiring battery R&R. By then, I expect our IC engine fuel prices to be more in line with the (world other than the OPEC countries), so the cost of replacement might not be quite the elephant in the room that it is now. Everything is relative, after all. . . .

  5028. Can't wait for part 2 for this one and the Hyundai you were working on. Great video 👍 👍
    3
  5029. I don’t have this exact machine but on all of our machinery, like others have said, I believe you have over serviced the drives which now once it gets hot may blow your seals. I believe the centre plug is the oil level, basically half full. It’s oil bath so no need to be too full.

  5030. You should be ashamed working on a rust free Silverado I'm reporting you to Eric O @ SMA! Keep doing you! So jealous!

  5031. In reference to the short video after this one about to having spare working parts to test with and people accusing you of a scam that was one of the best videos you have ever made. Keep up the great work, mile marker Mikey Trenton Michigan!!😂❤

  5047. I hired an airplane mechanic that turned out to be a great find. He would work slowly and methodically, and when he was done I would always notice a couple of things. Everything was back solid and securely. All replaced parts look factory new and there was no question about their origin. He only did things once, in sequence, and never had to remove some of his work to get to the next step. He was always very conscious of the next step coming up. He was amazing. Raiman, you look like you have these same traits. I wish I could find a local car mechanic I could trust. My local car dealer just went "doi, doi" on me. They keep adding many things to the recommended to-do list, that are just ridiculous. Like with only 15,000 mi, they want a complete flush and refresh of the transmission fluid. Since then, I've been trying to find another dealer, after 30 years of service.

  5048. so no pouring action in todays video, damn

  5049. I'm surprised the customer didn't want an oil service also. 🤔

  5050.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  hey friend love your work. I'm a Subaru dealer tech in NC and I'm amazed at your knowledge and work ethic. I use you as a reference to get through my day to day at work. Shop politics aside I pray you keep rising to the top. Also can you give me your rigid tool list

  5051. Ray, I have a narcissist woman who gave birth to me, but I haven’t called her mother in 20 years. She (to this day) tries to cause problems and will do anything to cause problems. Like calling child protective services and 911, lying about abuse to our child. Telling the courts my dad never paid child support, but he was able to produce receipts. And getting the next guy she married…. Fired from his job because of lies and she was living off of his paychecks with child support. Well he got fired and she lost the house because her only source of income was him. So now my youngest sister and her are homeless. She cared more about hurting him, than thinking about the consequences of her actions. That was a decade ago and she still randomly tries to reach out to cause more pain. So I know all about ex family members doing everything they can to cause pain emotionally, physically, and financially. And they are NEVER held accountable for their lies.

  5052. Hey, Ray, did you realize that by saying to have to remind yourself to not forget to remind us guys to not forget to have ourselves a great day, you are not actually telling us viewers to not forget to have a great day? You're just addressing yourself there, lol. But the intention is clear. Thank you. You too, have a great day!

  5064. The real title of this video should be "Trolling the trolls." The dig with the old bar type torque wrench just sent the trolls into orbit. Can you hear them on launch? Reeeeeeeeeeeeee (fades with distance).

  5065. Back in the old days when I was a kid working in a shop, a lady had a car towed into the shop on her second day of ownership she stated to the owner of the shop she had just bought it the day before and this was her first new car and first time owning a manual trans, she said it would not start I went out put the parking brake on and pushed in the clutch it started right up, she came running out all excited and asked me what I had done, I told her I set the parking brake and pushed in the clutch and started it she looked at me all confused and a bit embarrassed. She said she forgot to push in the clutch and had been driving an automatic for too many years, she paid the tow charge and the shop fee and was on her way, All I could do was shake my head.
    3
  5066. A wonderful enlightening video. I have had cars for over 50 years but never realised engines needed oil! Brake overhauls, cambelts, water pumps etc, I have done many times but oil??? LOL.

  5067. Wow no courtesy oil changes from Mazda. At least GM gives 2. Ray honesty always wins. Keep up the good work. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe and be well. Have a great rest of your day.
    3
  5068. These 0w20 oil vehicles I cannot wait to see in 5 years how much metal is in the filters because people do not understand direct injection needs a oil change every 3-5k miles. But don’t take my word for it Just go out back and look at all the blown motors lol I got tons of em.

  5069.  @GunnerAsch1  IKR??? (lol) But that's not what I was getting at, really. "Re-using cotter pins hurts my soul" was quite literally the very first piece of merch offered on this channel; a founding principle that Ray lives by & will NEVER compromise on! ^.^ I was making light of the fact that: of all the people to lose it, and of all the things for Ray to lose, it HAD to be the Cotter pin master kit!!! LMFAO

God bless you Ray take care of your self your family and friends.✝️✝️✝️

  5087. I like libertarians generally. But not the libertarian party. Mostly because it seems to me their verry existence is a oxymoron. But I did have a laugh when the subject of that bumpersticker went to their convention and basicly told them to sell out and back him if they want to win.

  5097.  @markredf150  I was get steer tires on my Freightliner tractor last week, and when the phone rang, it was the same as in Rays shop. All I could hear was Rays “do dee dee do” and I couldn’t stop chuckling

  5108. What a nice thing to do @Banks Power I've always thought a system should come with a tip of your choice. To me it's doesn't look finished without a tip of some sort. It's like custom rims with out centercaps.

  5109. ‘Do not ever rely on electrical tape to fix intake manifolds that are leaking.’ He’s right! The new stretchy silicone stuff that sticks to itself is waaaayyy better! 😂🤣😜. Kidding of course!

  5110. Yay, Got the 1st like....
    3
  5111. Ray, you asked about our preferences in video subjects. I love anything dealing with normal vehicle problems that I might encounter, like the videos about this truck. I tend to not watch the videos where you upgrade your truck. I guess a parallel to this would be that I seldom watch shows on Motor Trend that show customizing cars, but I do love Wheeler Dealers because I get to watch mechanical work that I might encounter on my own vehicles. I can relate to this Nissan, in 1994, I traded an air compressor valued at $300 for a non running 1986 Mitsubishi pickup that had a cracked head. I resurrected the truck and drove it for over 40,000 miles. It was a bit simpler to work on than this Chrysler, err, Nissan, but the principles are the same.

  5112. It depends, not every vehicle is the same length. Getting the center of gravity in the correct position for the lift is what's important

  5115. Mr. Ray I have been randomly unsubcribed several times on several YouTube channels including yours. Now I check subscriptions every time. Thanks for reminding folks about it. That Izuzu brings back good times

  5116. I think in honour of Ray, AutoZone should rename their Brake Cleaner to "F*****g Everything Cleaner".
    3
  5117. Hey Ray a little suggestion would be very helpful if you don't mind..What I do with the terminals if owner don't want to spent any money in the way he should it's bend over two pennies and use them between the battery post and the terminal..
    3
  5118. Ray, you are sharp man! this ability of yours to pin point at troubled areas amaze me, that and your panoramic view in what you are working on makes this channel the best! i personally enjoy it every time.
    3
  5119. Thanks for doing good.

  5120. You are correct, you would suffer unmentionable torment, unrecognizable haunting from your subs if you did not give us a mileage on the rental.

  5144.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  I am a Service manager. I literally deal with scammy customers on a daily basis. And having to pull footage and prove the customer wrong and deny their claim. That’s what I was getting to. I’m not an awful person and could never do that.

  5145. Uh but Ray I enjoy your content, it's one man's epic battle to fix the unending waves of Cars that badly need repair's and find a balance of doing it with out loosing his Sanity Guest staring Wife Unit! Along with other guest star's from other channels. Take care Ray! I've been enjoying your stuff since you where working at the Dealership before you moved to your current place.

  5146. How about watching paint grow and watching grass dry?

  5147. First time in any quality Raymond video I've ever been first.. I been following you Ray since about 3 months after you first started filming your work back a while ago your great content and Sense of humor is why I'm still here. Your an awesome mechanic sir!!!💯💯💯

  5148. Ty ray for the bonus member video.. you and Lauren have a great week...Ahhhhhnnootha!!!!😂😂😂😂

  5149. So want to be a mechanic? You better come here to the rust belt and learn how to work on all makes and models before moving to the "rust free" zones and working on vehicles there!👍🏻🤘🤘

  5150. I lost track of how much I've watched your channel. I hope you are monetized so you get that juicy YouTube Premium revenue from my watch time.

  5154. To P RO and all the other negative Nancys: Ray never claims to be an expert at anything that he is not, including carburator work. So do us all a favor, go play with your perfect god like selves and stfu. This man that you are so quick to condemn has helped many in more ways than you will ever know. For myself, as a 53 year old woman, he has taken away the fear that comes when something suddenly goes wrong with the car. Because of his explanations and careful videography I have at least educated ideas of what to look for and how to care for (or NOT care for) my own transportation. He has given me the knowledge to avoid getting taken by some of the slimy scamming mechanics we have in this small area, and find a good forthright one who did the repair correctly and for an honest price. I think you are jealous that even when Ray admits to winging it, that he has more supporters and people who admire him than you ever will. We know he isn't perfect and we like him just as he is. I would be willing to bet that if Ray ever had a crisis where he needed helping hands that people would fly or drive from all over the country to assist. Who would you have? I pray every day for Ray and his family and that they never give in or give up because of people like you. The world needs people like Ray, I wonder if the same could be said about you?!?

  5155. There’s already 748 comments, so I’m not going through all of them to see if the “screw” thing was already covered, so I might be repeating someone else, but the flathead screw was the original standard (after nails), then came along the Robertson. Around this same time, Phillips came about, but Robertson was superior because it didn’t cam out. Robertson approached Henry Ford to use his screws in car manufacturing, but they couldn’t come to an agreement, and Ford turned to Phillips screws to spite Robertson. Because of Ford, Phillips became the new standard (in the US). Robertson is still popular in Canada, but Allen, Torx and square drive became popular in other places.

  5158. I used a bunch of Mevotech Terrain Tough parts when I rebuilt the front end on my 2006 F350 last year. I've been quite happy with them. I hope you have a good experience with them too.
    3
  5159. In case ya missed my comment last week, if you got some random red thing in the mail this week, that's fer yer battery. Figure I'd mention that since we're kinda on topic with your truck. Also, I know you probably ain't got time for this, maybe on a super slow day. One of the best things I've done is grease the crap out of all the moving parts on my floor jacks a couple months ago. At the very least, taking the wheels off and greasing where they ride makes them roll sooooo much smoother and nicer.
    3
  5160. Friday morning and RAY!!!! Awesome Ray is working on his own truckster.

  5161. Well good evening to you Ray

  5179. Not too surprising. I've worked for all 3 of the big companies in their assembly plants and this kind of bullshit has been a constant with all of them and it has gotten noticeably worse in a pretty insane way over the past 15 years or so. Every single plant was just like the last, overwhelmingly staffed by inebriates of all kinds, people who are ever increasingly lazy and entitled regardless of whatever they're afforded and they always have excuses, deflection and projection out the ass for their incompetence. The companies would call this sort of thing an " oversight " but in reality it is rarely truly such, and is really just thanks to shit tier people being employed solely to meet quotas. Such people are more to thank for endless recalls than any accountant or other as they will sit there and install clearly faulty parts and clear the vehicles for the next station, they will install parts wrong and clear them for the next station, if it means doing more than they WANT to do then they will ignore it as long as they can get away with it as integrity is a foreign concept to them. When people like this are fired they end up feigning victimhood even more than they already do on any normal day and try to sue so companies are simply stuck guaranteed to put out a subpar product. The same caliber person is almost always found employed at O'Reilly, autozone and other such outlets but this isn't something exclusive to the automotive industry, it's been a growing trend for ages and is present in all companies.

  5194. So many YouTube mechanics in these comments. Y’all go ahead and post videos of doing your shortcut work. Then you can use all that time you saved for court when you get sued.

  5195. so much hate in here, think you can do it better than this fella than put your money where your mouth is and do it.

  5198. We have this sign in our dealership lobby, #1 The Customer is always right. #2 If you disagree with said customer re-read rule #1 A key point to keep in mind is that , the customer is always right in their own mind, although not necessarily in reality. It's critical not to disagree with the customer because that makes them angry and argumentative. It's not in anyone's best interest to tell a customer they are wrong, But pull that damn oil pan man.
    3
  5199. I'm surprised your old company even allowed that hoarder vehicle into the shop. I would have been like, "Sorry, we don't service vehicles like yours, pal."

  5204. When you spin a tire like that on the groun you create swirl marks in the rubber and ultimately rendering the tires now defective. They now have to be replaced immediately because they have become extremely dangerous and risk a blowout.

  5207. Tie or twist the wires together as you previously did, apply flux to connection, then solder the wires together. The connection will stay together better while you solder. Solder will flow better by adding flux first instead of wating for the rosen core flux to flow. Having solder on the soldering iron creates a heat bridge so heat will flow into the connection faster. I'm an electronics technician and have done a lot of soldering.

  5211. Been turning wrenches for 30 plus years watch you cause i just love working on cars, your attitude and way of thought is all reasonable and shows me a good tech. We are all guilty at one time or another with no stand., but fun aside or get er done aside i have 1 friend with a bang ankle for 20 plus years culpt no stand, another one that lost both knee caps in a wheel chair 20 years later culptit no wheel blocks while the other mechanic power braked a drivebilty while a mechanic stood in front and the master cylinder bypassed failed and the emergency brake did not hold the force. another lost a finger from jewerly wearing on the high voltage ignition coil removing the wires under a load, another 30 feet in the air on a latter with no one securing the ladder all this while i am on other jobs but within the vecenity to see the results. I am on a regular bases like to day while i am getting a motor in another city, call the shop to see how my 2 guys are doing one had an emergency doctor appointment with the wife while my other mechanic is there alone pulling a motor. Told the mechanic on the motor come off on it go work on another vehicle much simpler untill me or the other mech. gets back just for safety reasons of something going wrong and being pinned by himself in the shop. Bottom line is no job no bonus no paycheck is worth the safety of a person be safe while you work.

    3
  5219. In all seriousness. You have a great attitude and the videos are just interesting as hell. Thanks for your effort.

  5220. That's sarcasm. Rainman's a pretty sarcastic guy. You'll get used to him.

  5221. I hate you... I'm gonna have those old glade commercials in my head all day.... The other one I love doing to my wife is "zoom, zoom"

  5222. I know you’ve tried several, I like this the best so far. There’s something off about the chin, though.

  5223. Enjoying your videos!

  5225. Add the doodley do to the intro.

  5226. Love it! Ray, your’s is one of my top top channels (and being retired and disabled I spend hours on YouTube everyday). Guess what the other is?
    3
  5227. Wheee do you order your parts from?

  5228. What do you mean 2022 effect?

  5229. You got this. Have faith.

  5230. If I had a nickel for every Jeep trans I've replaced in the last 2 years, I would have a pretty good pile. You removed that just as we do. Very good job Ray! I don't have to remind you to make sure the new one has fluid in it. I've had some that were filled and some that wasn't. The best way to get that back in is pray and do the reverse of taking it out. Gonna be fun!

  5241. ‘A mechanic can only care as much for the car as the owner’ This is a good phrase. I will take the liberty to steal it, and apply it to IT care. Love the videos, love the vibe. Love how you feel about making these things last as long as they can. Because if it does the job well enough, why not keep it running instead of replacing it? You can always argue money, but I think we should pressure the industry into becoming cheaper to do the ecologically right thing: don’t scrap functional tools! Stop building things with the intent of it breaking, and being unrepairable. Let us buy the replacement components and make the necessary repairs to keep it going indefinitely, until major component failure. Losing a 1000$ unit due to a 5$ ball bearing that could be easily replaced but is made unavailable due to ‘contracts’ (see: Apple) is a sin towards the earth and towards your fellow people. Ugh. Rant over. Thanks for doing your part in making this clown factory turn over. Sometimes I just wish I could be a tyrant and force these companies into doing what’s right as opposed to what’s cheapest.

  5242. Everything that Scotty Kilmer talks about in his videos with newer Chevy and GM is happening in these videos.
    3
  5243. Why did you go straight to a pushrod rather than playing the "move around the plugs, wires + coils" game?
    3
  5244.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  Keep the entertainment coming! And thank you. Feivel needs daily exposure.
    3
  5245. Documenting, if anything, i'd say this is good PR for your place
    3
  5246. Huh. GM manages to screw up a 6.2L 16V pushrod V8, basically the same engine design they've had since the beginning of time, they're dead to me.
    3
  5247. I liked that AVE reference, he's awesome!

  5248. First!!!!

  5249. Ok Ray, I bought the damn pliers. lol.

  5250. Had the same issue with our KIA. It was a coupling for the servo motor for the steering. Common issue with KIA & Hyundai.
    3
  5251. The best way to learn Ray and you are never too old for that. At least you did not blame it on Troy this time. 😂
    3
  5252. It happens! We all make mistakes.............. Part 2 on this car soon?
    3
  5253. Sometimes the basic stuff gets overlooked 👀👍
    3
  5254. I appreciate the Inglorious Basterds reference. Clearly you are a Florida Man of culture.
    3
  5255. They said that lazy stuff about my generation too, as I was carrying 12 foot lumber through shin deep mud on construction sites paying my dues to become journeyman carpenter. The people who write and say that kind of shit are probably sitting on their asses behind a screen!
    3
  5256. next tool shopping get a spring compressor tool
    3
  5257. I feel ya on things being in the shop to long waiting on parts, My truck has been in one of the dealers bays for 45 days now waiting on a timing chain tensioner, that they can't locate anywhere in the US. It's been on back order and my truck sitting on the rack torn apart.
    3
  5258. Omg while you were doing that I was watching in my shop and immediately went looking for a spring compressor as if I’d be able to hand it to ya lol what the actual f. Btw I catch all of your aVe puns. He’s great. Persistence is key. Good job not dieing buddy. 😳🤟🏼

  5267. Ray dont be down on yourself, you are doing great!

  5268. When I purchase parts for my airplane, they are not returnable. If I order the wrong part, it's on me. I know airplane parts are a lot more critical than auto parts, because we can't just pull over if something goes wrong. But maybe auto parts suppliers need to put tamper seals on their parts, or make them non-returnable. Just a thought.
    3
  5269. First! You're awesome, and if you use towels.. that's good enough for me.
    3
  5270.  @JasonGunn418  I really don't think the comment was a troll. Ray's an awesome teacher and the viewer had a question and it was answered.

  5271. This one singular car made up for all your declines. 👍🏽😁
    3
  5272. What's up with that radio display?? That would drive me nuts! Love your videos. I've purchased some of the tools you've suggested from Amazon. Thanks
    3
  5273. That was their pet mosquito you monster...

  5274. “Don’t panic, Nobody move” anyone else catch yourself thinking about not moving for a split second 😎

  5275. This would have been a perfect opportunity to use that new tensioner tool, Ray. Good work as always!
    3
  5276. He definitely needs a go pro, and a hat/ head mount.
    3
  5277. Nice asmr channel I found here ;) Please say the EA Sports intro on the next video, sounds like you have the proper voice for that xD jk nice video and a great day for u as well!

  5278. Hate when you rent a vehicle and it’s raining, you try to find the wiper switch and find the SOB has it on the right side. 🤦🏻

  5279. I dont think anyone would be surprised to learn that Ray is actually an alien.
    3
  5280. 😂 Love your edits Ray, Merry Christmas and a happy New Year to you and the family

  5281. There is a lot more concern shown for the hammer than interest in the PT loser in the comments . Just say'n ..
    3
  5282. As I watched it, this has been up 5 hours, 55K views and 25K likes...let us know what the sub number ends up being in tomorrows video...this is great stuff Ray!! I've seen bad gears but short of a meltdown or explosion I've never seen spiders like that..nasty stuff. Heck while you are there you might as well do the rear wheel cylinders too...prolly the cheapest parts of this series as of yet.
    3
  5283. Whoever said smokem if you got them never met this 4 wheel drifter.

  5285. ALMOST HALF A MILLION SUBS RAY! so awesome
    3
  5286. I did a quick review of the BG diesel EPR and it worked fantastic on my duramax. You don't need it every oil change, maybe every 50k miles could be fine. But for all your clients that have never had it, excellent move. BG makes awesome stuff.
    3
  5287. @Rainman Ray's Repairs, I'm reminded of an instructor yrs ago who also didn't like the "sixes" as one of the calculations in class resulted in the "mark of the beast" so he decided to alter the value, lol. I'm glad you were able to make it out for voting, stay safe down there!

  5288.  @XJon2011  hell and fire were born to be released

  5289. I too have voted today.

  5290. One thing to stay away from is politics Ray. Just some friendly advice.
    3
  5291. It will be fine!... maybe yeah yeah it will be...fine right?
    3
  5292. I passed the 166,666 miles on my tundra with nothing breaking. We will see once I reach 176,666 miles.
    3
  5293. Ray, Wishing you Good luck on your New Endeavor from the Northwoods of Wisconsin!! Can't wait for all the new videos to come!
    3
  5294. I'm with you Ray.
    3
  5295. (@22:54) - “Eat your heart out, I Do Cars!” ROTFL! Yeah, that guy has the WORST luck pulling the dipping sticks out! 😆
    3
  5296. lol @I_Do_Cars at 12:39 🤣
    3
  5297. to do a proper reseal of those Northstar engines is to do exactly as your doing. Pull the engine and put it on a stand. The only way to make sure that upper oil pan is seal properly and not leak is to have the engine upside down on a stand and let it sit over night before putting oil back in it.
    3
  5298. Please don't deprive your kids all the fun and knowledge that car will bring.
    3
  5299. I live in SoCal, and these 2 door Buick Regalas are highly sought-after. Guys are still turning them into Low Riders with hydraulics. Super cool car. The Bible says that "out of the heart abundance the mouth speaks". So trash talkers are; Full Of Trash. Hook that car up Ray. I can't wait to see it bro.

  5300. Flashlight hit yu in the face! Is that assault with an illuminating weapon?
    3
  5301. We need to see the edited out torquing of the timing gear! If you don't show it, it didn't happen!
    3
  5302. Would absolutely like to see an autopsy of the engine.

  5303. It's a Jeep thing, you wouldn't understand

  5304. The GoPro is a great diagnostic and teaching tool. Thanks.

  5305. Great video popped up as a suggested video hit the like and subscribed looking forward to watching more of your videos.
    3
  5306. Wow this is awesome! Hard to diagnose just by looking at the bushings and not the actual movement. A camera under the car really helps while driving around town.
    3
  5307. Never mind you caught it
    3
  5308. 148th! YIPPEE! BOY HOWDY! GOOD MORNING RAY! Roger in Pierre South Dakota

  5309. Is that converter made to the manifold ? What’s that price out to about ? $1200-$1500 ?
    3
  5310. looks like someone hijacked the last minute of your video.
    3
  5311. i diagnosed it on the test drive... from experience i knew it was the cat, i am a mechanic for 50 yrs.. hello my friend
    3
  5312. Tech....this is what is wrong with your car and an estimate on the price to fix it. Customer....no that's ok I have a guy
    3
  5313. heya Ray. I think what you were trying to articulate around the 14:30 mark was. A mistake is a learning opportunity and only becomes a mistake when you fail to learn from it.
    3
  5314. "You get older and you start using tools to help you out." 😂 I'm dead Ray. You're humor never fails to get a laugh!
    3
  5315. First

  5319. Enjoy your time at SEMA, brother. Say hi to Rich from us. I'm excited to see what the future holds for you. 👍

  5325. I guess the compressor cupboard is gone, looking at it from behind

  5326. I swear the main reason I watch is to see this guy's tool collection, it's amazing.

  5327. Have a great day yourself Ray Ray!!

  5328.  @chriskline3763  Pretty sure it is from the movie Twister, the line was said by Bill Paxton (RIP).

  5330. Rainman Ray's Repairs.... Awesome video brother.. Congratulations on hitting 500K subs. I'm gaining on ya!! Just kidding I'm only at 6K subs but hopefully one day right?

  5331. Lol. Me too! Everyone at the shop looks at me like I've got 2 heads when I say "gravity".

  5332. Not a demolition, it is a deconstruction.

  5333. Better to be number 1 before step in number 2

  5338. What happens in Vegas........Gets put on Youtube.
    3
  5339. Fifth — it’s so unimportant! The video content is what counts.
    3
  5340. Got to give ya credit keeping your woosaa moment calm an dive in an do I would have lost it
    3
  5341. YO Ray, youtube keyboard warrior here. Those bottom brackets were slotted you could have put the bolts in and then dropped the condenser down over them. (Ray, please feel free to down vote this comment, it deserves and desires it!)
    3
  5342. Sounds like the stress of a new shop is moving off to the side and it's back to fixing the cars in front of you, it's good to see you conning out of all this
    3
  5343. Love your shameless self promotion! I have 3 different t-shirts, a hat and a coffee mug. Keep 'em coming!
    3
  5344. Bro, I would flip my lid. I really appreciate how you rage for the customers. You aren't just some guy You are the mechanic everyone SHOULD be. ​ @RainmanRaysRepairs 
    3
  5345. RRR COFFEE ??? now I know what he does with the old motor oil !!!
    3
  5346. Good that you clarify the importance of not actually putting your eyeballs on the transmissionpan!
    3
  5347. Injector wires are dipped in peanut oil to make it easier to pull through the harness
    3
  5348. I agree with Rodger. Pressure raises boiling point, same as a vacuum will lower the boil point. Just a slight error on Ray, but we know what he meant.
    3
  5349. You talking about the pressure washer trigger failing reminded me of my hunter safety course I had to take before I could get my first hunting license when I was a teenager 35 years ago. The instructor drilled into our heads that a gun safety is a mechanical device that can sometimes fail. He was a great safety instructor that was very serious about gun safety. As everyone needs to be.
    3
  5350. Proof of concept achieved! Great job ray! Thanks!!!
    3
  5351. He needs that vanity visor😏
    3
  5352. Not notification squad I came to the channel manually 😊⁉️
    3
  5353. Well, when I look at the box full of high amp electrical power equipment you designed, I see a lot of heat generated with no cooling fans in sight. As a retired industrial maintenance person, I can guarantee something is going to fry one day. Look at the fans that a lowly computer needs. Oh well, stubborn is as stubborn does. I will screen shot this comment so that when you have the inevitable burn out, I will post it again to say, “I told you so”.😂😂 But hey, that means I will watch you everyday. Win, win.
    3
  5354. Wow ray you'll replace the engine before you sell that masterpiece you built thats crazy awesome
    3
  5355. 33:24 when you started the ultra slo-mo I was SURE you were going to show us that you hit your thumb! Glad you didn't. Great video.
    3
  5356. I love how your air hammer trigger is worn out just enough that it sounds like the air hammer is sitting there idling waiting for you to use it LOL
    3
  5357. first! holy crap I'm nevet this early!
    3
  5358. So happy to see you using flush cutting cutters on your zip ties nothing makes me more angry than working on a machine that cuts my arms up because someone doesn't understand how bad improper zip tie trimming can tear up your arms.
    3
  5359. The blurring was very thoughtful of you thumbs 👍
    3
  5360.  @RainmanRaysRepairs That is your job, not ours.
    3
  5361. Things I noticed while working as a service advisor at a DFW Ford Lincoln store: The the higher trim level of the truck, the cheaper the customer! King Ranch and Limited owners were the worse! Explorer owners were pretty bad too! Don't get me started on Navigator owners!!
    3
  5362. A large ship is stuck in port - the engine won't start. They call the expert in the engine aboard. He comes and looks at it, walks around, pulls out a ball-peen hammer and taps it in particular spot. The owners are amazed as the engine starts. They ask how much the service was. The mechanic says, "$25,000." The owners, obviously distressed, say they'll need an invoice with a breakdown of the services. The invoice? Tapping the engine to get it started.... $5.00 Knowing where to tap the engine.........$24,995 That's the value of what you did. So charging an hour to figure it out is not unreasonable.
    3
  5363. Doo da doo da doo all day!
    3
  5364. The question is are we going factory reman or junkyard replacement, 🤔🤔🤔Hmmm... Everyone don't forget to remember to have a great day!! Greetings from Lake City 😎🌴🇺🇸

  5365. There there... calm down... The doody doos will be back soon 😄😄

  5366. I have suffered a 20% reduction in my fuel economy since this E15 nonsense that the government has put on us. Doing the math, it is more expensive to run E15 than to run E10 even taking into account a 10 cent per gallon reduction in fuel cost. Using a 20 gallon tank at 4 dollars per gallon at 20 mpg, you spend 80 dollars for the gas; get 400 miles until empty, and cost 20 cents per mile. Using 20 gallons at 3.90 per gallon, the cost reduces to 78 dollars and using a 15% reduction in economy (not what I got, but will use this as an example) the range shortens to 340 miles. This means that your cost per mile increases to 22.9 cents per mile. There is just not enough energy in alcohol to give good mileage. Pity on those towing this summer as the mileage will be horrid.
    3
  5367. Wow at Exxon Valdez oil leak! A starter and a ray's legendary battery post repair in one video! A Great way to start my morning!

    3
  5371. You forgot to tighten the oil pickup tube bracket nut.
    3
  5372. Used to do the same repair on 10,000HP diesels on ships. Learned a trick to get the soft metal out of the crank journal. Oven cleaner. Spray it on and it turns silver. Wipe off and repeat until it stays white. Wash the journal with vinegar to natulize the caustic soda and lube up. Probably not an oem approved approach but at sea you improvise.
    3
  5373. Very sparkly. The differential cover is very sparkly.

  5374. KEep this intro ... its SWEEEEEEEEEET

  5378. Excellent episode Ray, awesome to see you got to meet the man, the myth, the legend. I still cannot believe where you have come to. A year ago, putting up with crappy service writers to meeting Mr. Banks and touring his Shops. Well done sir. Now if we could only get your subscriber numbers above 1 million.
    3
  5379. So.....Ray went to Disney Land ( Banks style) 😉

  5385. Not using a lighter on the heat shrink, in an engine bay? Safety first! :D
    3
  5386. I spread the conductors join them and twist them. But the hooking method is also acceptable.
    3
  5387. Saw how you twisted and soldered the wires and tried it that way for the first time today. It is awesome! Thanks man!
    3
  5388. That female sounds angry. Sounds like a North Eastern accent. I'd avoid that person as much as I could. yikes
    3

  5392. Bingo. Everyone harps electrical connections MUST BE soldered but no one admits they can't solder worth a shit. Those crimped connectors he picked at on the driver's side are much more likely to be a solid electrical connection.

  5398. New merch idea!! “Cross-threading: Natures Loctite” I’ve had to replace so many parts and tap/clean up threads so many times recently because of someone else’s choice to cross-thread… 🤦‍♂️

  5399. Would you believe that in a few days, I'm going to drive over to Tarpon Springs and do an electrical diag on a boat that has been sitting for months. Your work has always presented the patience and thinking that I will need to trace out and rework that boats "good ole boy" designed systems. Thank you Ray!! Ya' All stay warm in our cold spell.!

  5400. That collection of painter's caulk boogers would have been off-putting to most diagnostic technicians. I'm sure it bothered you as much as it did me, but you pushed through it to a conclusive diagnosis. At some point you were channeling Ivan and Eric O. That's a good thing.

  5401. 25:45 hahaha, you cut out the car stalling. The shifting "skills" might be skills for the US, but over the pond that is just casual driving, in some cases even the passenger shifts for you when asked lol. Anyway, have a great day! Can't wait for the next video!

  5404.  @GreaserBoy5.7_gmc  Absolutely agree with you! I got out of the motor trade because of the lack of good education, being told to replace parts unnessarily, wrongfully charging the customer, etc! No way was I gonna have my good reputation tarnished! Would so love to work alongside this guy! Much love and appreciation from an old, female mechanic in the UK!

  5406. As a tech for Nissan I see these all too often and got comfortable just recommending just the one oem coil till I got bit on a Altima. Replaced one coil and all the other coils failed one by one over the next week. Now I recommend all of them and spark plugs every time. That way I’m covered should any other coils fail if they decline replacing them all.
    3
  5407. New sub! Thx Ray! I have a 2012 odyssey with 236k miles… Honda rotors suck! Dealer replaced fronts at 40 & 75k - I replaced with drilled/slotted power stops (lol almost a racing rotor 😂 on my minivan) and have gone 120k on them. I now have a tiny wobble when braking! Thx for THOROUGH reminder on burnish!

  5408. Hi Ray, I don't recall which episode it was, you asked about the purpose of a CAT filter that the guy installed inline with the radiator. It is common with Caterpillar tractors and bulldozers and such. The coolant filter does two things basically. It filters out any debris of course, but it also has a conditioner in it which helps to keep the cooling system cleaner by preventing buildup of sludge and rust to some degree.

  5409. yes i dont like this vid,,we are not a japanes country,,we are ruled by the chinese,,please remember that..or you will ferever ....go missing.. aus ,seriously,,is ruled by idiots.. without balls.. they,ve sold off probably half aus to the chinese, plus manufacturing,farms,ect. just to line there pockets. your biden is like our vic. dan andrews. a meglomaniac.. be safe, all the best for cough cough,,xmass.

Honestly something like that though no need. You just asked how you would fit it in and i gave you your answer.

  5454. And yes, Ray isnt perfect (per the o rings).. but he is Perfect ...(kind of an "oxymoron".. he makes mistakes now and then, but he admits it and moves on. And sometimes he makes no mistakes. Its called "being a professional".. and Ray is that!.. Love the attention to detail Ray.. (and there is the "oxymoron").. the "what if" is if "Sir Peter" starts his own videos?? We are doomed. Lol

  5455. It's a sad day when after binge watching Rainman Ray videos, you realized you've seen them all!😰 Then Ray posts two videos the same day! 🤪 BTW, those adjustable pry bars are great, if possible you should add them to your Amazon tool list.

  5456. Wicked arrow animation!

  5457. Hah Ray most newer cars have a flapper valve on the gas filler tube. This is probably why you got no smoke coming from it. You have to put something into it to open that valve.

  5459. Bro went in with the double penetration on the amp with the 2 wires 🤣 🤣 🤣 although did you read the manual 1st, Rockford usually has 2 separate connectors on the amp for the speaker wires but since it's a mono amp, it's internally a 1ch amp but has multiple speaker wire connections for the users benefit, it will still drop the ohms internally so there was no need to bridge it,unless it's a stereo amplifier

  5480. Good job. Watched all 4 videos on this vehicle. Doing good work instead of how fast can I get it done, which leads to mistakes and come backs to fix free, you do it slow and steady and get it right the first time. Now you have a fleet customer for the shop and most importantly for you.

  5500. I am an assistant manager of a large automotive repair shop and I have told my techs that I will not tolerate them prefilling oil filters for the reasons you have explained. I am in total agreement with you and everyone who is watching and prefills oil filters to rethink your position and your wallet will one day thank you, lol.
    3
  5501. havnt been a mechanic for too long, 2.5 years now. and few diesels that i work on got those kind of filters. never prefilled, never heard of anyone doing it. and we’ve never had problems with not doing it. as you said, a quick sweep on the gasket and youre set to put on the new one
    3
  5502. Just a quick comment on changing oil and filters. I work on a daily basis with military vehicles and I never pre fill oil filters! As you said in the video Caterpillar or CAT mentiones this in the maintenance section of the manual. Never pre fill oil filter for the exact reason Ray explained. Engine, transmission, power steering or transfer box, none are to be pre filled with oil. Also the trucks, tanks and other armoured vehicles I work on mention to not do this. To the people who say that the engine will get damaged due to the fact that the oil pump first has to fill the filter and then supply the engine with oil: The vehicles I work on have a fill cap on top on the engine block so those 2-3 seconds the engine needs to fill the filter are ok to run the engine because there is still oil dripping down into the sump of the engine. Especially tanks engines which take like 220 liters (233 Quarts) of oil to max level. Hope that clears up things! Greetings from a Dutch military mechanic

  5508. I do Not understand that. Had a part last almost 20 years… so let’s put in one that completely inferior and expect it last another 20 years… same with Honda customers and starters… the starter in me 1999 accord went out… so I bought a Napa one at it only lasted 1 year… yes… the Honda one is $375 but it will last another 30 years

  5509. I noticed you and I use the same brand of band aids.

  5510. There are no "Copyright Laws" in China. Buy something, especially electronic, mail it to the right person- it soon gets copied & mass produced, using "Slave" labor (compared to US wage standards) and/or literal Slaves in camps (*Uyghur*) using parts that are probably already made there anyway. Think about it. That's what many companies do, unfortunately.

  5514. Ray, gotta thank you. I never knew about those offset extension wrenches until a video a long time ago you used one. Talked about it at my shop and finally ended up getting one and it is a game changer. I struggle with the tucked Ford hvac actuators and they're the perfect tool for it! It's only January but it made my year!

  5515. Thank you for opening your own shop. It makes the videos much better.
    3
  5516. I had a 1983 Isuzu P'Up that had a 4-cylinder Diesel engine. It got over 60 MPG, and ran forever! I always carried a couple spare glow plugs, just in case, LOL! I miss that little truck... The main reason I got it, was because the engine they used, was the same engines used in the Thermo King reefer unit. Which meant, that if I broke down anywhere, basically any truck stop with a garage could work on it.
    3
  5517. I chuckle every time I see your channel. I recently retired, my company had/has a fleet mechanic named Ray,,, we've called him Rainman Ray for over a decade. Some people refer to him in an abbreviated way as Ray-Ray.
    3
  5518. Boy GM is batting a 1,000 with the AFM and torque converter failures starting about 150k. The 6L80 is a pricey trans to rebuild. Mine blew up at 184k, I rebuilt it, now I wait for the dreaded lifter tap. I am prepared for that Thanks GM……. To avoid the AFM failure run your trans in 5M and only shift to 6M on the highway but remember to put back in 5M once off the highway. It will not go into AFM until 6th gear and lock up are achieved

  5521. What is battery reconditioning? Xchanging out old electrons with fresh electrons?
    3
  5522. I appreciate the excellent customer service. Instead of giving suggestions of possible issues and throwing money at it in hope of fixing it. Sure you could've have changed the battery and alternator but that may haven't been the main issue at hand. No issue saying it's beyond your scope of knowledge of specific auto makers. I respect that about you! I watched the whole video and enjoyed your honesty
    3
  5523. Ray...you did the right thing....most shops would of charged for your time as well even though you passed it onto another place ....good on you for that,its such a nice thing to hear and see,these days everyone is out to charge you no matter what they do

  5524. Reeeeeeeeee, you can't do that! Nice job Ray, merry Christmas to you and your family.

  5527. I notice many of your fans are mechanics like yourself seems like with most professions sharing info has it’s benefits. Having said that I’m a female that watches. I won’t bore you with my experiences but I’m too old to be crawling under for repairs and what I learned was back when that oil was still dinosaurs. I watch just for personal edification and your personality. Just a mighty fine good time. Thanks Ray oh did I mention I “love “ “click” bait lol

  5528. In Norway We call them scissors pins, by the way the Honda has a oil leak from the engine, I think. Good day to you Ray. 😊
    3
  5529. Are you allowed to drive to the oil change facility with BG cleaner installed?
    3
  5530. Overseas they only change filters every other oil change. A1 is filter, oil, rotate, b1 is oil and rotate. You will find sludge. Direct injection has made (already sticking) vvt actuators worse in Honda, toyota, and Chevy.
    3
  5531. Dark to light is not a whitebalance issue but an exposure issue. Although changing from one lighting change to another would likely change ambient color temperature.

  5550. "Cut towards your CHUM, not towards your THIMB!" Another "AvE" reference for ya.. BTW, it is pronounced as individual letters; "A" vee "E", it is an acronym for "Arduino versus Evil".

  5551. If I had done this job, I would have had a lot of fasteners left over. Oops.
    3
  5552.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  I obviously did. Was the car fixed by the body shop? I wouldn’t feel comfortable driving it after being hammered that hard by whatever hit it. Your work I trust. Body shops, not so much.
    3
  5553. You are showing your young age by remembering has at $1 a gallon. I remember when it was 27 cents a gallon. Showing my senior years! 😁
    3
  5554. Not sure how anyone could complain about Ray's videos. They aren't supposed to be flashy or edited with slick transitions/music, etc. His videos are perfect. If people are whining, they're probably the type of person who hates their grandmother. Move on an enjoy Ray's work, he's awesome.
    3
  5555. I'll bet the Mrs. Wife Unit Like when the Mr. Mechanic Unit/husband come home in the new uniform shirt. Shows success.

  5556. My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard. That trans fluid actually reminded me of the strawberry milkshake machine in the movie good burger.

  5559. Just dying to get those new springs settled, eh?
    3
  5560. nice video Ray, but.... preasure on springs has nothing to do with weight loaded on the trailer but HOW it's loaded, can be even negative when loaded more on backside of trailer.
    3
  5561. Ray is like cool n stuff

  5564. woah im actually early for once
    3
  5565. Keep up the great content👍
    3
  5566. Soo glad to see your shop so busy after a year. It seems like things are progressing well and picking up. Your videos are more entertaining than ever and you and the wife seem to be happy in what your doing. Curious question and you dont have to answer it. How do you like doing taxes as a businessman :).
    3
  5567. Rain, I did this 4 years ago under the guidance of Fordtecmakeuloco worked perfect and is still working fine ......great video here.....
    3
  5568. Hearing you do the the phone Do-De-Do in lightspeed mode, priceless!!!!
    3
  5569. Ohhh a jeep, aren't those money pits? I know there is a cult like following for jeeps tho.....on a serious note tho Ray I'm super happy for you & your new shop. I know you're going to do well & one day you'll have employees & won't have to do all the work yourself

  5570. If it were an OBDII vehicle you would be pulling info like cam / crank correlation, etc. Problem being - OBDI isn't that capable, but this is where a diagnostic oscilloscope comes in - Pico is expensive, Hantek 1008C is an 8 channel scope and is cheap on Amazon - about $110 though both are USB and would require extra computing, you can use them with an android phone or a cheap laptop. Would let you check the cam and crank sensors at the sensor and at the PCM to see if there is a wiring issue. Your code 54 is a cam sensor issue. On a Magnum V6 or V8 the cam sensor controls fuel injection sync, which could be an issue on this.
    3
  5571. Dude...stop all of the diagnostics for a moment. Before proceeding, bring up the vacuum circuits in alldata. Go through and reroute, repair, replace every single vacuum line. That needs to take place before proceeding with diagnostics. The engine restart issues, as well as the backfiring... that's a sign that the timing advance is malfunctioning. The timing advance is controlled by vacuum. Until you get all of the vacuum circuits cleared and corrected, diagnostics are going to be a tail-chasing nightmare, with parts cannon on rapid fire.

  5572. ahh a real jeep not the chrysler garbage

  5573. Hi Ray from England myself and all of my family and friends, we watch your videos every day, and also thank you so much for showing us the proper way of doing things. On cars Thank you so much to you and your wife or entertaining us. So from us to you, thank you, we are great fans of the show with respect Tony Maria and Francesco from England 🇬🇧 🇬🇧.

  5574. Comment of the day “You need to know what you’re doing so you don’t die”

  5575. Dang I just changed a tumbler in a Silverado, looks like I started a trend on YouTube 😂😅
    3
  5576. I'm really impressed with that professional hospital bandage on your right hand. LOL
    3
  5577. That van needs a 4” lift with 35’s 😊
    3
  5578. Ray, KEEP the SHOWER !! **It happens , fuel soaked doesn't happen often, but when it does you'll be thankful for the shower, and there is the occasional grime ,dirt ,sand and mud times. you may want to rethink the shower.
    3
  5579. Ray considering the investment in tools and the area make sure you install a really good alarm. Not one of those ones from big box stores. It is well worth the cost.
    3
  5580. Ouch!! Not Good
    3
  5581. Snap On truck pulls up. Break time. Sucked in by tools and candy. Love it.
    3
  5582. I think that dash area needs extra reinforcement. Audi didn't seem to use enough bolts to hold it in place...lol
    3
  5583. I really don't care how long your videos are I do find them enjoyable I do watch them to the end
    3
  5584. I always wondered what pirates drove
    3
  5585. G'day Ray and Wife Unit, hope you've had a great weekend up north!
    3
  5586. Happy Hump Day Ray.
    3
  5587. I put kyb quick struts in my 2009 crv last summer at 160k, wasn’t terrible.
    3
  5588. At least the chiropractor and the insurance adjuster can watch this video to understand how Ray got the into the situation that caused the problem.
    3
  5589. Welcoming back!
    3
  5590. Oh I see anyone that does a more thorough job than you is now a keyboard mechanic that's nice to know.
    3
  5591. LMAO, people actually thought, that at the end of your videos. When you said “end of transmission” they thought it meant end of the cars transmission!?😂 Hahahahahahaha
    3
  5592. How can they not crash?
    3
  5593. I'm so glad the evaporator bullet was dodged on this repair!
    3
  5594. A small thing I took away from this is the more complex and electronics reliant an engine becomes, the more infinite the points of failure become.
    3
  5595. The only reason Lauren is being taken in by this even a little is because Ray has done this before.
    3
  5596. Troy would be so proud 👏
    3
  5597. you have the best wife unit
    3
  5598. That's why your the best Ray! No matter what's wrong on whatever vehicle it may be you give the a fair and honest assessment and let the customer decide. Keep up the awesome work!
    3
  5599. Good afternoon I'm a first-time subscriber, this podcast rates of the top 10 podcasts I've seen in the last few years on the YouTube keep up the good work👌👍😁 BROTHER!!🧰🍻

  5600. like your videos, it is interesting how cars are put together nowadays . Have a great day!
    3
  5601. Love the intro.
    3
  5602. When new what great tech.. when they fail..it sucks. I doubt this one will be back. Stay safe and be well. Have a great rest of your day! I get to play painter.

  5603. Yay, intro like a Charlton Heston Film !

  5604. Second lol 🇬🇧

  5606. No worries. Have one on us. 😊
    3
  5607. Wow 29 sec. ago. I am waaaay early! Ha
    3
  5608. Everyone’s a critic sitting on their fat butts watching You Tube. You are watching a small owner operator fixing a car with one hand and holding a camera with the other. FYI it looks like he works all day fixing old beaters and then spends his off hours trying to make happy a myriad of video critics. Get a life and appreciate what the guy is trying to do. Some of these comments are really pathetic. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK RAY.
    3
  5609. @nRaysRepairs i commented before seen this, if you are aware, disregard my comment about the editing problem.. WORDS!! GRAVITY!! ANUUTHAA!!
    3
  5610. I love this comment "must have been hammered" 😛 surely its alright. Can't expect Ray to be master of editing 😅😅
    3
  5611. Cold? Like what? 50 degrees?
    3
  5612. 3rd? Good Monday evening Ray and the wife unit! And the new employees! Roger in Pierre South Dakota. Where it’s REALLY COLD! 😊
    3
  5613. Ray I'm glad to see your no afraid of showing your mistakes just like Eric at S.M.A. does.

  5614. notification squad!🔥🔥🔥

  5615. If you don't charge more when it takes longer, then you shouldn't charge less when it takes less.

  5617. Grumpy Pliers

  5618. Weird. I never saw this in the playlist etc. Just found it. How about "Frustrated pliers"
    3
  5619. Yes I was an engineer for 40 years. And isn’t the R&P gear bolted to the lower suspension assembly. Thy assembly is head in with4 to 6 bolts allowing the cradle to be preassembled and shipped to the line for final assembly. To remove gear the book says drop the cradle and suspension assembly, but to do so you leave the front bolts loose and remove or loosen the others, use a trans jack to jack the back of the cradle up. All this is part of the “ design for assembly “ by the auto companies, oh but it doesn’t take into respect repair.
    3
  5620. More kindness to us engineers 🥲 we are necessary idiots that only get hate for when we mess up but hardly any praise for when we get it right... Plus it gave your brain a workout to get the puzzle together again 🤪
    3
  5621. 2:19 Love how the red connector in the top of the Apollo looks like it's flipping you off.
    3
  5622. Psaki style ! LOL

  5626. Hi Ray!
    3
  5627. Good morning Ray, it’s 6:20 am here in England and I can’t sleep. 😴
    3
  5628. Oh yes take the field trip to Jacksonville and film that facility 😎👍👍
    3
  5629. Sounds like Diesel Logic wants to make good on a previously questionable product. That's rare nowadays. Good on them. I've dealt with companies that don't give a damn about their image. They don't last long or they stay static in size and reputation. Again, good on Diesel Logic. My truck needs new injectors. I'll give DL a look-see.
    3
  5630. I was yelling but you couldn't hear me yelling take off the covers on the injection inlet. My wife unit was laughing at us when you discovered you mistake. Wives seem to enjoy our mistakes with glee!
    3
  5631.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  thanks for the reply.
    3
  5632. I wish I had anything to donate right now. I'll share this where I can! I know the effects of spinal lesions. So I van sympathize. I've been dealing mine for 12 years. Best of luck to all.

  5633. You have a kind soul, I hope he recovers soon.
    3
  5634. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

  5635. I will stop by the shop and hand you some cash
    3
  5636. Nice of you to share this Ray. Donated.
    3
  5637. Rainman... will do what I can. So many lubricants, solvents and chemical off-gassing in the auto industry... mebee wear a mask when using brake clean Ray?
    3
  5638. It was my pleasure to donate to this cause. I am fully aware of how these things sneak up and destroy financial situations.
    3
  5639. Deffo yes, but need to hear the running hours, because miles not available.

  5642. Hey Ray (and everyone else), how do you like your “aviation wrenches”? I’m in the market for some new wrenches and don’t know if I should get some double flex head ratcheting wrenches or those long fixed “aviation wrenches” like the Snap-On wrenches you were using in this video? Thanks for any advice!
    3
  5643. Nice job on nut welding, great 360 ending on veiw
    3
  5644. First, love ya Ray!
    3
  5645. One shock???? How cheap is this insurance company?
    3
  5646. Congratulations Ray. 80.8 K subscribers/ Why am I not surprised by the growth of your channel. Great content, and entertainment.
    3
  5647. But he did say "Gravity" at about 10 minutes in when his wrench fell
    3
  5648. So what happens to the old discarded parts? Do you send it back to the customer as proof or just throw it away?
    3
  5649.  @MichaelBallardwormy  Bugger, I missed it. My whole week will be up the creek now, damn it!

  5650. Look forward to your video's each and every day!

  5651. Actually CO2 is an insignificant portion of that gas you used at about 0.04%. Argon is the 3rd most common gas of that mixture at 0.9%.

  5662. Last week I saw a an elderly woman(94 yrs) who owns many properties pull a nickel out of the parking lot tar but she had to call her daughter to help - success she is even richer..
    3
  5663. Sales should have said the alternator went bad causing the battery to drain. We charged the battery and it now tests good. From our experience batteries in this situation usually have some damage so we aren't sure how long it would last.
    3
  5664. Never knew the belt had to face a certain way. I just throw them on. Long as the belt is turning the pulley on my 318 Detroit, I really don’t care. Lol
    3
  5665. Love your channel, i have my own private shop and you do an awesome job of showing some of the shit shows we deal with. Annnnnd Love From: Florida

  5666. @Rainman Ray's Repairs *OCD on belt letting being coordinated!....This is one of the reasons I miss working on auto repair shops so much! LOL So many interesting characters and plenty of egos interacting with each other all the time. It was a fun job Thanks for your uploads. The more things change the more they stay the same in the car repair and service business.*
    3
  5667. I always face the print on my belts the same way as well whenever I have a car with multiple belts LOL

  5675. Time for new tires… repeat

  5676. Keep doing what you do Ray & hope that will include a doodley doodley doo phone ring🤘🏻

  5677. It's their loss, wish you all the best in future endeavours.

  5678. You’ve done exceedingly well over the last 6 months Keeping the dream alive along with wife unit and now Troy 😎
    3
  5679. Best of luck with the next adventure. Very much enjoy your content.
    3
  5680. Thanks you. My small contribution to your transition fund. Iv enjoyed watching your content for the last year and always assumed that was your shop. Everything happens for a reason and hopefully you will find something even better soon. Be safe and well til then.
    3
  5681. You have given away vast amounts of knowledge for free, sooooooo this is to say thanks for being amazing
    3
  5682. I`m anxious to see the total shop hours, labor, parts, oils, and misc. cost for this total project. It`ll be interesting how much it would normally cost for all that work.
    3
  5683. costs more than the jeep.
    3
  5684. that truck is 100% worth saving, its already in much better condition than that Ford 😂 thing will be a workhorse once more once its running right!
    3
  5685.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  glad I lost the bet- but I also bet you'll be revving it and check for spark moving forward- not all of the versions fire the plugs at all times. Thanks for taking us along- we always enjoy the ride!
    3
  5686. It's confirmed. Ray's a hoarder! Don't throw it away it will have a use one day 🤣
    3
  5687. You got me.... My jaw dropped and was like "Ooooooh Noooooooo"
    3
  5688. Big fan of your work, i work at a honda dealer in new york and i am so jealous of the lack of rust🤣
    3
  5689. When you drove off on Juan's motorcycle you should have yelled "I'll Be Back!" Arnold-style.
    3
  5690. Nice catch on the anti-seize. A lot of people don't understand wet and dry torque. Also, always nice to have an extra Peter when you have to pry on your balls.
    3
  5691. You almost sound like a heart surgeon doing that dash stuff, "well if I remove this wire, I wonder what will happen" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    3
  5692. Just replaced the front rotors, pads, and bearings, along with oil and trans fluid/filter changes , and rear brake clean out and inspection on my brother's '02 GMC Savannah van yesterday; I found myself at times narrating the process in my head in your voice, and even "DOOO DEE DOO"ed out loud when his phone rang LOL. Keep up the great work Ray, and I'll keep watching with my coffee every morning.
    3
  5693. First! Strange as I'm getting no notifications on this channel, only on the main one. Despite both subscribe + all notifications enabled. Damn YT!!
    3
  5694. I would appreciate it a lot if you would give your opinion on something. I had a mechanic fill my 09 civic engine with 5 quarts but it is rated for 3.9quarts. I assume it is not OK and bad for the engine?
    3
  5695. I think my service A is over due by several decades.
    3
  5696. They only get in a hurry when they see the car going in the shop door.
    3
  5697. Well played with the angry pliers. You triggered a full fledged OMGWHA!? moment.
    3
  5698. Next time, she should change her own engine oil. 💪
    3
  5699. Tappy-tap button tapped!!! From my years of living the UK, it is the BMW owners who are the A-holes. Must be "Das Auto" thing?
    3
  5700. The reason the clamps are always 11mm is because the are actually 7/16"😉
    3
  5701. I'm pretty sure your not supposed to put lubricant on an engine belt to get it on... Good thing that's your own vehicle lol. Also pretty sure Adept Ape is doing some head shaking.

  5702. cant hurt your feelings? CHALLENGE accepted!!! "I fart in your general direction, your mother is a hamster and your father smells of elderberry wine" compliments to Monty Python

    3
  5706. Wow Ray u have lot of people watching ur videos as soon as u post them well done shows good content from a good mechanic is always watched
    3
  5707. Actually if you did forget the oil sump the engine wouldn't blow up because in this parts replacement scenario the engine needs to be cranked without starting till you get oil pressure.
    3
  5708. Love light speed, lol.
    3
  5709. This video seems like it got lost
    3
  5710. Your lucky that it's 2wd
    3
  5711. I'm going to bet they saw the video of you working on the first one.
    3
  5712. Great vid Ray Thanks for doing the phone noise lmao!
    3
  5713. That is an amazing amount of work on work van. It should now drive like a new vehicle.

  5714. Third, it wasn’t notified! Two parts in one day, awesome 😂

  5722. Hey ray from australia
    3
  5723. RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY
    3
  5724. That’s a pretty good brake bleeding hack without a pressure vessel. I would smash that like button, but I got to try it first. I’m pretty blunt, I will let you know if it fails in the worst way.
    3
  5725. Since 1st of July 1959, the US pound has been defined as 0.045 359 237 kg. It is based on metric unit, just like the inch is defined to be exactly 2.54cm. Metric, but just a bit awkward special case to please US audiences. 🙂 Thank you for the content, these tropic weather repair videos are really nice to watch during the winters we have in Finland - way nicer than doing any repairs outside in -25C/-13F weather.
    3
  5726. Great video! I just love how youre explaining things! Hope Wife unit is okej :)
    3
  5727. I guess this is the E350 van. I’m not enough of a car guy to recognize it just by “5.8.” Can’t wait to see how you saved it.
    3
  5728. I just love it when you right hand makes a guest appearance.
    3
  5729. Nice kill shot Rainman !
    3
  5730. Where's the truck

  5731. I don’t even know how or why I got to this video but I am happy nonetheless

  5732. your tool box is incomplete... you are missing the "GONE TO LUNCH" sign lol

  5735. Ray i enjoy you channel ,it's .educational & informative , and as for the haters ,remember when they point one finger at someone they have 3 pointing back , and when some people dont understand something or can't do it they immediately hate it ,you have a great occupation and do it well , keep on enjoying your work and putting out great content , and you Sir have a good day
    3
  5736. I though that hissing noise from the cap is normal. And my car still not really cold just like in this case. Thank for information video.
    3
  5737. I love your channel Mr. Rainman
    3
  5738. i am subscribed to the Car Wizard's channel and he often expresses the same complaints about people bringing him their cars to repair and he presents them with a hefty bill for parts and labor.

  5739. Hey I just subscribed, I lost a good friend from the fire service 20 yrs who was mechanically inclined. The way you detail how, what, etc to look for reminds of him thru you, jus wanted to share. Love this channel, thank you so much.

  5740. Pardon my language but holy s**t that poor Caravan. That thing looks like a 91/92 Dodge Grand Caravan / Chrysler whatever they called it back in the day.

  5741. Thanks!Made me feel human seeing that even you can make a mistake.

  5742. As an OWNER of a YT channel you can say whatever you want, that's called freedom of speech. 1 topic that you normally NEVER talk about comes up for a few minutes and they kick you to the ground....that's sad. And that they're going to do all sorts of things to annoy/teasing you is going too far. You have a great channel and many enjoy it including me. Greetings from the small country in Europe. Still subscribed here

  5743. AI bots are probably the vast majority of reports.

  5744. You know Ray has been subscribed to you ever since you started this channel and I agree with some of your opinions and I disagree with some of them but I've always been here to listen and I will continue to do so BROTHER!🫡🇺🇲

  5753. @Rainman Ray's Repairs I swear at least one car caused me to catch the flu some years ago! I was sicker than I ever had been in my entire life. I got in this filthy Dodge Caravan, the woman had four kids in it too they got out, they were all coughing too! The car interior was hot and it was a warm day so I was sweating, after puting my hands on the steering wheel I accidentally tried to rub the sweat that had fallen into my eyes out...about five or six days later I was in bed for the next four weeks! Be careful NEVER to touch your face in cars like this BEFORE you thoroughly wash your hands!

  5754. That car looks smelly

  5761. There are mechanics and there are parts changer people..... "Oh your engine light is on, time to replace your engine 🥴"
    3
  5762. I guess the fuel smell was simply due to fuel-air mixture leaking out of the holes in the intake - if the MAF was reading low, the ECU would reduce fuel delivered to match, making it run lean and lumpy.
    3
  5763. Now I REALLY wanna see you build a Killdozer!

  5764. Would have been hilarious if the machine displayed a big smiley face after oil and filter change. "Ma Butt Wiped."

  5765. We must be cut from the same cloth. I thought I was the only person left who would clean dirty equipment, fix leaks, grease lift arms, calibrate tire balancers, etc.
    3
  5766. I watched this entire series. Well done Ray. Just want to pass along my opinion of this engine. While I understand the need for technologically advanced engines because of the government bureaucracy and regulations. Fuel mileage mandates and such the engineering is out of control. I'm sure engineers could keep pace with the government by making simpler engines more efficient. More efficiently built engines gain power,gas mileage,better emissions etc. I may be off base but a highly efficient 351 would beat the heck out of that engine.
    3
  5767. Ray you are a kick ass mechanic who doesn't try to screw people over but genuinely wants to help. Not many true blue honest techs out there anymore. Keep it up
    3
  5768. Great stuff! Thanks for sharing. Congrats on almost 150k..Stay safe and be well. Have a great rest of your day!

  5769. You did all you could to convince customer of urgent repairs

  5770. My father worked for the Canadian National Railway, he was a mechanic, he used tools from Sears and Canadian Tire. I was in the RCAF, we used Grey tools with a few Snap-on. Ray is of course correct, buy the best you can afford if you are earning a living with your tools. If your favourite tool source offers a "no questions asked" replacement warranty, you have little to worry about tool wise. For me, when I was a teenager, I bought a 3/8 drive set from Canadian Tire, I broke a socket, they replaced it, I broke the ratchet, they replaced it, I lost one or two sockets over the years, that's on me, I still have most of it, I'm now 70 years old, I think I got good value out of my $19.95 plus tax.
    3
  5771. I'm a DIY'er and found a great deal on a Snap On box. Love it!! I've watched many of your videos and never thought you were trying to sell me anything but knowledge. For that I say, Thank You!

  5778. Ray a lot of people in the comments are saying there's an issue with the magnetic material on the camshafts, I know you and Dave are both excellent and honest mechanics who take pride in their work but I think there could be an issue with the magnetic material as well. I know you guys will figure this out and hopefully you give us an update on what happened.

  5783. Great “Betty Boop - What a Dish” reference to Saving Pvt Ryan!
    3
  5784. Ray, another great video. However, let's get back to the previous statement re: trolls. You have 361,000 subscribers and who knows how many others watching your channel. If 1/10% of the subscribers are trolls, then there are 360 a holes ready to strike at any time. Add to that the number of others that watch but don't subscribe and that makes a lot of a holes all gathering at one you tube channel, of which many are jealous, in that have nothing good to concentrate on in their life. Forget about the negative people in your life and concentrate on positives (you know the story. You've been there and already overcame and never succumbed). One more thought. You can't always hit a home run with videos but the increase in subscribers say you're batting 99%+. You're running a business on you tube and whenever there is a person doing well, there has to be someone who is jealous.

  5787. I just recently saw a video of someone tightening an oil filter with a drill. That guy is the most hated person now
    3
  5788. Envy isn’t the word for how easy the front end came apart! Up here (Upstate NY) you would have had to use torches, massive air hammer, choice superlatives and a large broom to sweep up all of the rust that accumulated on the shop floor.
    3
  5789. Hi there Ray! Great Video as always! Please tell me replaced that thing resembling a Radiator cap? It looked like it was once a Radiator cap then glued with some other stuff? 😂😂😂😂😂😉
    3
  5790. Am I the only one that appreciates the random copyright-avoidance rambling? 🤣😎
    3
  5791. Please stop being self critical of your excessive monologues. It is not a Rainman-authentic production without the Rainman’s chatter, monologues, words, et al. Also, on the brake fluid cleaner parts, I am grateful to hear the empty can clang onto the floor after you are finished. On the torques, I just need to hear one click, then you can do the rest of them in fast motion. On the wobbly parts could you put a small magnetic disk near the end of the socket to hold the bolt on some of those gravity defying shots? Great production today.

  5792. Technically it is a filter, it just has a different sieve size.

  5807.  @kelseymafia  oh wow, because I totally never would’ve thought to change gloves if they’re dirty before I get into a customers car. At no given point did it ever occur to me that I could just get a new pair. Thank you for your insight, captain obvious

  5810. You probably let no one touch your tool either, looser defunct OCD. Gloves protect him from your car and the funk people leave on their steering wheels like snot, buggers and phlegm.

  5811. Another great video.

  5812. Pin of shame!!

  5816. Never messed with A/C, did not know the pressure would go up without the cooling fan. Pretty cool.

  5817. I like those style of wire butt connectors! Things have changed in the 4 years I've retired! Love learning new things. Surprised that 3.4 eng lasted that many miles. They're usually boat anchors! GM never should have stopped the 3800/ 3.8
    3
  5818. 4:21 Ray, that's a captured washer. It's a bolt with an integrated washer. 4:32 Would it not have been easier to place the bolt head on a bench vice to remove the washer? Would it?
    3
  5819. @ 3:09 ah the olde brain Fart. Great video and explanation Ray! as always👍
    3
  5820. Doesn't matter how much you shake it...there will always be a few extra drops
    3
  5821. Excellent video, that's a happy car for a new happy owner! Just curious, do you fill the oil filter before installing it? Some folks do, some don't, and there appears to be a big debate both for and against. For the record, I do especially on my motorcycles.
    3
  5822. With a Honda, as long as you change the oil & timing belt on schedule, you can reasonably expect 300K.
    3
  5823. I have to admit that it wasn't just Ray who was nervous about the engine hanging over him, I was too...
    3
  5824. Apparently you didn't hear me shouting " The engine! Ray ! Don't drop the subframe yet ! Hang the engine!! " I was so relieved when, being the professional you are, you realized that the engine was coming down with the subframe before the fuel line snapped and the wiring harnesses sparked. Good job. Your videos give me anxiety sometimes, I tell ya..
    3
  5825. Yep. Leak detection. Called an ESIM switch on the newer ones. Does the same thing but it's smaller and it's connected to the canister. Ran across it a lot on police cars
    3
  5826. Goog job! I'd also remind the customer to never "top off' the tank when refueling.,
    3
  5827. Well I applaud you for making the best of a situation. You weren’t the first guy to weld them so people can take a hike. As to the fire well your love of brake clean is well known and it’s a consequence. Just stay safe my friend.

  5833. It's ORANGE. That's how you know that it is good! 😁

  5836. notification squad, Have a nice weekend!🔥🔥🔥

  5837. I've also found out if it's leaking this way at the evap core. Start the ac after charging it and adding dye. Let it run for a while and put a black light on the water puddle if it's green. The evap is leaking. Some vehicles you can gain access to the evap core through the blower motor controller. Can also shine the blacklight on the drain tube. Just a trick I learned back in 2020. Does it always work on day 1? Sometimes it can take a while. Depends on how big of a leak. Great video bro.

  5840. Well, it looks like I'm the first to make a comment. Wahoo, geez I think I'm getting luckier every day when I watch Rainman Ray's videos. I really enjoy his narrative in his videos for he is the man with knowledge

  5841. People that disliked this video are suffering from Swollen Nuts!
    3
  5842. Great tip. Been there. Have a great day urself
    3
  5843. Very interesting and informative video, as usual...at least for me it is. I found the fact that the upper control arms being adjustable for caster/camber did not have the eccentric washers. must be a bit more challenging for the alignment person. Also, the fact that the owner was just now bring it in for the suspension noise, and seeing how those ball joints were SO BAD. Glad you are able to make this vehicle safe again. Thanks for another great video.
    3
  5844. I really enjoy seeing your work. I applaud your attitude and attention to detail.
    3
  5845. That was a sad doo doo da doo da dooo... When you were tightening the pickup tube !! LOL
    3
  5846. hi Ray, that exploding fluid wasn't due to air bubbles. Like all possessed PT Cruisers, it was the evil spirits trying to escape.
    3
  5847. My shop used to sell interstate until about maybe 5 years ago when they seem to throw quality out the window
    3
  5848. So i did do the math on what Ray said in the beginning about bashing on brands and manufacturers, and to only take him serious 91% of the time for 60% of the time .. So if he rags on mercedes or any other brand, he only means it 54,6 times out of 100 .. Now you know!
    3
  5849. Ray, I suggest that someday when you get that airplaane, don't let quickie-lube change the oil in it.... ;o)
    3
  5850. (25:36) "That came out wrong".....a few seconds later, "Where's my rubber?" Another coffeespray over my monitor! 👏🤣🤣🤣
    3
  5851. Nice to see you helping him on this. Thanks! You're my two favorite Mechanic YouTubers! Well 3 because I do like Eric the car guy too and as he says... If it's your birthday here's a digital 🍰🎂 and congratulations! 😊

  5858. I wondered why a 4 cylinder has 8 coil wires on the last video.
    3
  5859.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  When I first started watching, I would like the videos. After so many I started going back and catching up on all the old ones. I would be surprised if I haven't liked every video on both channels plus wife unit.

  5861. You did the gasoline in the diesel can just to troll the trollers, diddin cha? :face-purple-crying::hand-purple-blue-peace:
    3
  5862. A coil can ohm-test good and still not work so that's not really a good test. The coil he replaced probably would have ohm checked just fine. Ohm checking only checks the primary side, not the secondary side anyway. In this case everything was working but the spark was jumping through the plastic and the boot. On some coils you can replace just the boot kits. I've done this numerous times with good results and saved the customer $$. Not all coil styles are replaceable, though.
    3
  5863. Because an automatic transmission has to be in park or neutral in order to crank. If it doesn't know that it is in Parker neutral it won't crank.
    3
  5864. Cooling problems on classic cars is a science. Have to have the correct amount of fluid flowing through the engine. To fast will not remove the heat from the or radiator, too slow will cause engine to get hot in spots. Major parts needed, Thermostate, fan blades and correct pitch, good clutch (fan), water pump and correct size radiator. Some times may need more than one radiator and fan. Last must be tuned correctly with the right grade of fuel. I have have studied and repaired over heating cars for 10 years and can say there is not one solution.

  5867. I don't care much about cars, just listening to you is so entertaining
    3
  5868. Dear Ray! Thank you for explaining the safety aspects of the Lift. PLEASE, when you can, make a DETAILED VIDEO of the specific details. You know what to do, but the audience needs to be shown, EXACTLY, in super detail what to do. Really. We need to be instructed by an Expert. And then, everybody can re-post the video to You Tube, and maybe some Dummies will look, watch, and Learn. Hope you can do this. It deserves to get a million views. Safety matters. "Carefulling" in the words of Sarah-n-Tuned, lol! (hehehe). Do it!!
    3
  5869. Yup... Don't wanna be a final destination plot for sure! =D

  5911. Welding rod my ass. I had a battery explode. As them things vent hydrogen gas... It sounded like a damn grenade went off in my face,. The top of the battery ended up on top of a two story building.. I had wash the engine bay off with baking soda and water. Before it started eating through the wiring..Not to mention all the corrosion..Lucky I had safety glass on..As it blew them off my face..

  5912. Lose the ring when working.. you may need all ten fingers for future work and play.
    3
  5913. Keyboard mechanics, nit pick if you like. All connections were clean and tight. Modern batteries do not get corroded terminals unless there is a bad connection or the battery is gassing excessively. I never use terminal coatings. No need. He did not hammer the post, just tapped the terminal. All posts will move a little because of how a battery is made. Looked like a good repair to me.
    3
  5914. I pulled the spark plugs and found a GMC Dully.
    3
  5915. Glad you are better-but don't rush it. Yes, the kids are driving you crazy, but you need some rest. Thanks for the videos. Now take a nap!
    3
  5916. 14 covid sick people must of watched this video because they left a 👎 they obviously has no taste
    3
  5917. Call your friend Rob. He will always come to help save the day.
    3
  5918. I like the choice of music at the shop. I heard Boston and Journey.
    3
  5919. You Have a Great Day Too Bro!
    3
  5920. That mini is a poor example of a modified vehicle. Half assed work if ever I saw it.
    3
  5921. Haters be hating…I think it’s pretty decent of the company to show you how they have improved rather than just sue for libel/slander and have you on Judge Judy 😂😂. Love your videos, I’ve learnt a lot. Hope you and the family stay safe out there 😀
    3
  5922. The vindictive little internet trolls are so disgusting, if they disagree with a content creator they'll do everything they can to bring channels down. To hell with all of them.
    3
  5923. You took the opportunity to learn more and possibly change your opinion. That’s what adults do.
    3
  5924.  @walttrotter535  I thought that only happen on F/B rants.
    3
  5925. Apply sticker, then listen to stuck on you, by Lionel Ritchie or Elvis Presley. Two completely different songs.
    3
  5926. Glad you censored that Volkswagen pr0n. Sensitive eyes watch your channel. 😂
    3
  5927. Always thought that was a joke in the US, is it really that bad.
    3
  5928. It's a warmer tone inside the vehicle.
    3
  5929. My shop manager is going to SEMA. Have fun & be safe.
    3
  5930. I see that you're going through all the trouble to install new vent louvers. To make them last, do not ever install any kind of vent mounted accessories on them. The louvers are hinged on tiny irreplaceable pins.
    3
  5931. So Rainman Ray show everyone your mistakes along with the successes. Peace.
    3
  5932. I've watched a half dozen of your vids now, and I just subbd your channel, Have a Great Week
    3
  5933. That there was a nightmare!
    3
  5934. I have drilled lots of destroyed lug nuts out unfortunately. The Lug Ripper would probably be my choice for this since it holds the nut but the CTA Lug driller is a good tool also. Have a great Day!
    3
  5935. Stay safe Ray you and your family
    3
  5936. No fucking around with Mr. Hurricane! Don't blame yeah. Prep and prevention pays off in the end.
    3
  5937. Get a Denso one
    3
  5938. You’re right, so many how to videos show the people saying what they’re going to do and the next shot in the video shows it done but didn’t show them actually doing it. You can see exactly what he’s doing and the fasteners and wiring are all explained. Nice job with the videos! Thanks!
    3
  5939. First
    3
  5940. G'day Ray!
    3
  5941. Lights under the tool boxes are for when you inevitably drop tools, fasteners, small rolly bits, etc.😬
    3
  5942. I really don’t like the air powered presses, I prefer a standard press so I can really feel what the press is doing as it’s working, makes it a lot easier to know if something is going wrong before anything breaks
    3
  5943. Think I mentioned last post how I liked how you and wife unit worked well together . Her running the office and wanting to learn the mechanical end of the business is a plus for you both . So many bits and pieces to put that motor back together , well done on getting it running well again . Stay safe , have fun .
    3
  5944. Ray, you're utterly lovely. If you want to be rude, BE RUDE >:3

  5951. Happy Gilmore reference. Nice.
    3
  5952. Hey Ray, I don't want to give you grief but please tell viewer's youre using aluminum wire brush or brass/stainless steel wire brush when cleaning aluminum parts. As an aircraft mechanic of more than twenty years I've witnessed firsthand the damage a carbon steel wire brush can do by embedding steel in the metal causing severe dissimilar metal corrosion over time. Just a concerned viewer. I enjoy watching you work in your vids. Thanks for sharing.
    3
  5953. First! Great channel Ray, big fan! DUdududutilduduuu.

  5954. Banks Power is Real ❤

  5955. Bigger is always better when it comes to our trucks🤘🤘
    3
  5956. Awesome Ray!! Back in the day I had a totally awesome 70-Chevelle SS 454 with 600hp that sounded so cool! Hooker headers and all the extras! Muncie 4-speed rock crusher. Been following your videos for a while as I grew up in Miami but am in Madison, Wis. Now!!
    3
  5957. Cool, I also had a 4" banks exhaust on my old Duramax. Though I had dual sidepipe version (behind the wheel) I bought a muffler delete pipe too... :D
    3
  5958. In the words of the great and wonderful guy named Flounder.......OH BOY.....IS THIS GREAT.

  5959. Can't wait to hear the beast roar!!!

  5965. Looks like you know what your doin'.

  5966. Looks awesome!

  5967. Obligatory comment: "This video shows how unprofessional you are. I would never bring my cars to you to work on. Come on!!! you can't even use a breaker bar and then you drilling right next to these ULTRA PREMIUM Charger wheels. They obvious don't work anymore after getting drilling damages. -134/100. Unsubdriceved."

  5968. I will have my popcorn ready! This will definitely go to the big screen tv for viewing!

  5970. You guys on the west coast of Florida just can't get a break. I just got off the phone with my sister in Rotonda. Thankfully they are on pretty high ground and are well prepared and their house is about as hurricane proof as you can get. Take care of you and yours. I am hoping for the best for you and all Floridians. BJ in Ottawa, Canada
    3
  5971. Or at least scare the crap out of Lauren AGAIN by driving the mule around the mud.
    3
  5972. The peace and grace of God be with you and your family during the coming times.
    3
  5973. It won't be hurricanes that destroy us. It will be social media. Stay safe Ray. You and your family are better prepared than most others. Your truck with the extra fuel tank and on-board battery storage is a great tool to have in an emergency.
    3
  5974.  @Pantera-wu9ty  I thought it was 10 hurrssspowers 🤷🤣😂

  5975. Part 2. "You guys remember that Subaru?? I have to do another oil change." 😂
    3
  5976. not a day goes by or a video you release where i dont laugh at your "doooluuduuo" of the phone.. lmao

  5977. How could you! I expect to see free pour skills. This makes me sad.

  5978. First time ase test and I somehow passed a2 automatic transmission

  5981. The funnel... The shame will never stop nagging you... 😁
    3
  5982. ROTLFLMAO!! Oh, the tears in my eyes!
    3
  5983. Ray, it took me three attempts to watch you filling the engine with oil, I nearly reached out for the tissues. Then I saw the oil cap upside down OMG! I am 9119 miles away (14,675Km) and I couldn't watch any more. I had to have my kids in for the last bit, and thankfully saw you rotated the cap. Take it easy man, maybe talk to someone to help you through this distressful time.
    3
  5984. Exactly the same!!!
    3
  5985. Getting closer to that 6am gang
    3
  5986. Your our hero Ray! No but seriously, I work on my own stuff only after watching your videos for motivation. I swear when you were sick, I got nothing done! If I lived on the other side of Florida, you'd be my mechanic because you are a man that can be trusted. Thank you for sharing your journey with us.
    3
  5987. 👌
    3
  5988. Finding your channel was a good thing. You help brighten lives and the knowledge that you pass on the way you do is what I enjoy the most. I also wonder if your old boss misses you.
    3
  5989. Imagine how people have been programmed to let others do their thinking for them. Before Obama we didn't have a problem with people of other races and after they taught people to hate each other. This is what community addutateor's do to peaceful people.
    3
  5990. Here we go again……being proud of America is a cover for white nationalism? My 12 year old grandson puts his hand over his heart for the National Anthem……guess he is a white nationalist. My granddaughter cheers for the American athletes at the Olympic because she wants America to win…….so I guess that’s a cover for white nationalism? And I try to buy American products and believe me finding them sometimes is a chore but that must make me a white nationalist??? White nationalism is no where as much a threat as communism and socialism is in this country……you know…..those ideologies that American soldiers rescued other nations from in those nasty world wars……..I suppose our military is comprised of white nationalists? You and people like you are the reason America will be overtaken by communism and you won’t survive well when that happens. Communism favors only the select few.
    3
  5991. 8:15 … proof that Ray reads the comments.
    3
  5992. The number of people in the comments reeeeeeeeee-ing about reusing the torched bearing that didn’t get reused….🙄
    3
  5993. Thank you for clearing that up I wasn’t sure if you use the torch the bearing as that would’ve been a no no thanks very much for putting me straight👍😀
    3
  5994. RAY! I subscribed to your channel about a month ago, been watching a ton of your vids. Today, I go to check on any new vids only to find out I was unsubscribed, had to re-subscribe. Something wonky with YouTube because I damn well didn't unsubscribe.
    3
  5995. Look at the size of that mosquito on the air filter.

  5996. Awesome job Ray!!! You have a blessed day!!!

  6000.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  I think the REAL reason you wanted your own shop was to have the ability to throw away the empties in any direction you want, whenever you want!
    3
  6001. Hey man, I figured you should know that; you should look into iview glasses, they're a gopro-like camera in the form of glasses, so you could use both your hands and we'd see exactly your POV, seem like it could be a good backup for when your repairs need both hands
    3
  6002. You and the general public need to know and understand that the equipment that was being used is very expensive, it makes the job easier for the mechanic/tech. Now you add in the time for the mechanic who needs to be paid, and $150 really is not that much money. Plus, a proper alignment also will save wear and tear on the tires thus saving the customer x amount of money.
    3
  6003. Cool channel! New subscriber! Thanks for putting these together, it's awesome to see how things really work in the real world!
    3
  6004. Love the hash tags. All engines are motors, Not all motors are engines. Motor is a generic term that refers to any unit that imparts motion, including proteins in your cells that move molecules around, rubber bands on a balsa wood airplane, an electric motor in a drill, and the internal combustion engine in your car. An engine refers to a more specific kind of motor, a machine that uses various thermodynamic processes to turn heat into work.

  6005. 15th! GOOD MORNING RAY AND THE WIFE UNIT! Roger in Pierre South Dakota

  6006. AAAAALLLLLLMOST first. Good morning ray!

  6007. Cracked intake runner on the head, itll suck up coolant, but wont change the dye, seen it a hundred times on chrysler aluminum heads.
    3
  6008. A few things come to mind... 1) The other reverse 2) We buy brake clean in 55 gallon drums now just to be able to use it like Ray does 3) I want an assault blow gun!
    3
  6009. Love the programs Ray always waiting to see what problem child you have to diagnose next also checked out your merchandise looks good as well but I'm sure you be adding more later but al in keep up the great work all of you !😁
    3
  6010. My truck is highly modified for off-road use. The armor saves all those expensive things under the truck. The trade off is that the front skid plate has to be removed to service the front differential and many other parts.The amount of time it takes the me or my mechanic to do that is far less expensive than the undercarriage parts that would have been destroyed were it not there. That is the price you pay when you modify your vehicle so you can go have fun! Worth every penny to me.
    3
  6011. REEEEEEE using an electric ratchet on spark plugs! You're gonna wreck the whole engine! REEEEEEEEEEEEEE Sorry Ray, I couldn't resist. The wealth of knowledge you've been sharing with us is incredible, valuable, and hugely appreciated! Keep it up man!
    3
  6012. Rescues socket, proceeds to toss it on the bench... 🤣
    3
  6013. Love the channel Ray. So much I made a drinking game. Enjoy! Ray’s drinking game Take a Sip if… Ray Says ‘Tappy Tap’ Ray mimics the phone ringing Ray says ‘click’ Someone in the shop asks Ray a random question Ray drops something and blames gravity Ray says ‘Ugga Dugga’ Ray has damaged latex glove and shows some hand skin Ray says Flippy Floppy Ray mentions his Amazon link Video is interrupted by a You Tube ad Ray makes a comment that his tool is to big/small Ray has to wait for parts It’s raining outside Ray gets cut off by an impact gun while talking (sip every time he is interrupted) Anything besides fluid falls in the drain pan. Takes vehicle out for a test drive Ray stops mid-syllable to not swear in video You can see Ray’s face in a reflection Finish Your drink if… Ray turns left out of parking lot to take vehicle for a test drive. Ray sees an error code he has never seen before Ray is working somewhere that is not at the shop Ray does not give a thumbs up at the end of the video Phone in the background rings 3 or more times before its answered Ray Spills fluid while filling a vehicle when not using a funnel Ray says I got this as a gift from a viewer Ray does not use an entire can of break cleaner in one video Ray has to work outside because the truck won’t fit in the shop. Takes vehicle out more than one test drive Ray does an oil change on a Tesla Ray is wearing pink gloves Ray does not talk in a Germen accent on while working on a Germen car. Ray loses his 10mm socket Ray does not say ‘click’ during entire video. Another mechanic randomly starts singing in the background Ray is wearing long pants Ray says the engine needs a longer dip stick because it does not reach the oil in the pan. The clock in the vehicle jumps more than 2 minutes between cuts. Ray actually uses break cleaner to actually clean breaks
    3
  6014. Nice work ray-man , you know you inspire me every day to keep pushing forward with my car project

  6015. Bro love the videos you do I get to watch them when I'm waiting for the kids bus lol

  6021. Sloshing water behind the dash was mentioned in their list of things to fix? Better get to that as blocked scuttle drains will soon flood the carpet and ruin the electrics.

  6029. Hi Ray, I watch you when I can and call up your latest episode. I’m watching the Escalade 6.2. You are a true PRO. You always try to leave nothing to chance and take previous historical comments for what they are worth (most times not much). You logically approach problems with a well thought plan of attack in providing a solution that in fact solves the problem. Keep up the good work, stay safe and healthy. And remember “Havr yourself a GREAT DAY!” Tom from NY

  6039. Ray, PLEASE make a video about the repair of the second mower. THANKS!
    3
  6040. Something Bit Me!!!
    3
  6041. Cooling system failure, yeah I've seen that kill engines before! My car typically runs at 80-95C, so I have an alarm set up for 105C and I get a blinky light below 70C so in theory if it reads temp from the coolant itself and there's no coolant to warm the sensor I'm still going to cop a warning light and shut everything down before I roast something. It also serves as a reminder to let things warn up before I put it under much load. It's already saved me once! Great video as always Ray, keep up the good work!
    3
  6042. I’ve actually been to this shop, great ppl but that darn shop phone is loud and annoying 🤣

  6043. Fun Fact: The G35 was sold as Nissan Skyline in Japan.

    3
  6047. OIL CAP, OIL CAP, OIL CAP. You taught us that.
    3
  6048. So the engine can self destruct because of 50 cent gaskets and plastic parts. Brilliant!
    3
  6049. Putting a peice of paper towl ontop of fastener then putting it in the socket will help secure the fastener into the socket while trying to reach down in far away locations quick tip Raymond 44:28 @Rainman Ray's Repairs

  6054. I like this new content.
    3
  6055. April 1 fun my guy. The story was real, the laptop actually showed up at random. The call to my wife was legit and unplanned. I’m now aware of who brought the bag. Think of it like a compound April fools joke.

  6056.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  ok im hitting you up.

  6066. Better then the weather channel
    3
  6067. You can try , putting the battery in the freezer for a bit. And try to charge some times that will work.
    3
  6068. Hi Ray great video again I agree with most of the comments on here about disconnecting the battery and waiting 5 minutes before removing air bags. Over here in the UK the part you fitted is also known as a clock spring but sometimes called the steering wheel squib. Keep up the great content and brilliant work you do over the pond 😀👍🏻

  6069. The dealership I work at is expensive, but they're honest at least.

  6076. Customer service is complete crap nowadays. It’s sad. No one can deal with anything anymore. Figure it out n handle It yourself.

  6080. Hope you plugged up or covered those light holes on the roof of the tow truck before you left. Would suck having your roof filled with water and it getting inside and cause damage.
    2
  6081. When you do the external batteries, look into a high output alternator such as Mechman and do what’s called a big 3 wiring upgrade for better current flow and better grounding.
    2
  6082. Hey Ray, this hurricane season is going to be a rough one as hurricanes are fueled by warm ocean water and the ocean is like a hot tub in areas. Be prepared and safe!!

  6083. Dang Son !!

  6084. Ray your kind of welding is what we call "Mud Dauber" welded.🤣

  6085. first comment on this good day to you ray as always a great video but most impotant to have yourself a great day
    2
  6086. Wow! Blue shop towels in the intake, backwards timing pulleys and broken plastic clips. Your out of control Ray! Reeeeeeee 🤣
    2
  6087. I now catch myself saying 'click' whenever I tighten something. Thanks Ray! 😂
    2
  6088. Just curious, did you remember to tighten the top strut bolts on the passenger side?

  6092. I thought it was pretty obvious that the gloves weren't "dirty" and were just stained.
    2
  6093. The proper oil change of a Mercedes slk, or amg advises that you do not remove the drain plug. But instead you use a suction pump to remove from the same threaded hole the oil filter comes from. Just be sure that the O ring doesnt roll down into the hole, because you will lose vaccuum then.
    2
  6094. Those cars are over complicated,so very very expensive for parts and labor. Anf when they break,they bbrreeaakk! Take it from mechanic, only get if rich and stupid and care more about what people (perceive ) you. Except mechanics,we know the truth.lol
    2
  6095. This is no refection on our hero, I cannot understand why someone with the pockets deep enough to buy or lease a Mercedes has their routine servicing done in a shop other than a certified Mercedes dealer. Their wallet must be tighter than a fish's ass.

  6096. Next video idea. German car, German video. I don't know how many German viewers you have, but there should be a few. I am one of them.

  6097.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  My coffee tank is always empty in the morning, my mouth muffler makes strange noises and my oil and water pump has very low energy until I take a bath in good 'ol filter coffee.

  6098. Man I love your videos and the work you do, but u know I gotta roast you for wearing dirty gloves in a car with a clean interior. I’ve done it too, everyone has. But as mechanics we have to be mindful that not everyone’s car is as rust protected as ours 😉

  6099. Soo in other words the car is telling the owner too learn how too drive😂☠️

  6100. I was in the hospital for 17 days with covid I didn't drive for like 3 weeks I know how you feel I felt like noob behind the wheel lol

  6101. Looks like you are missing a bunch of sockets. Good job for the new trainee - socket hunt!
    2
  6102. I don’t think you have an accent due to being exposed to different areas of the country. You most likely just have sayings or phrases that you have picked up on the way. I’m a native Floridian and really have no accent, just Floridian sayings amongst others from me living in different parts of country and being overseas in the military. The only real southern Floridian accents are in the panhandle areas in my honest opinion. I really enjoy and appreciate the content you provide on your channel. Thank you good sir.

  6110. You get this being a plumber too.. “Since you’ve been here to service my boiler the bath tap has started dripping” “...Right?” “Well you need to fix it, you’ve done something to it!” “No matter what I do to your boiler it wont cause that, how olds the tap?” “But it only happened since you have been here” “I’ve been here for just over an hour and you telling me in that time I’ve made your tap leak but luckily you’re a super plumbing detective and have caught my master plan to charge you to come back another day to change a 2 pence washer?” “I saw you use the bath tap earlier!!” “Yes It’s my job check all hot water outlets flow rates and temperatures” Seriously people just be honest about problems and shit gets fixed sooner and you don’t piss people off! (And yeah £50 to service a boiler fine, but won’t mention could I do this 2 minute job while I’m here! Then start arguing about paying for work that I’ve just done till I do something unrelated!!!) You approached me/us to do a job if you aren’t going believe me or trust me why do you call me to do the work!! (Also if someone asks you to service a boiler thats 7 years old and your the first one to write anything in the service portion of the boiler book, alarm bells in the back of your head should be ringing, either they have moved in or your being led down a path) Rant over..

  6111. Pre inspection report with proof period. With the vehicle computers today you can view freeze frame and a time stamp code (HR Run Reports)) to get past the customer "you broke syndrome" or AKA (YBS)!
    2
  6112. I always document warning lights on the dash as soon as I pull in a car. Most cars also get a digital inspection, including 6 pictures of the exterior. Doesn’t stop all of this from happening, but helps a lot.

  6113. They still make crank-up windows?!

  6114. Thanks for the video. You stay safe!
    2
  6115. I worked at a lube shop for a while ive seen this more times than i can count lol
    2
  6116. Well thankgod you made the video. You can show them it was on when you got in. Say its ma'am its your word vs the video tape.
    2
  6117. I think the brand on the battery is incorrect. It says "everstart" but in this case it's a "neverstart"
    2
  6118. I did not like this video. I hate alternators buried in vehicles behind so many other fixtures just because it's a minivan. I hate when automotive engineers don't value my time! Good fix, good process, and good skill on adding fluids as always!
    2
  6119. when the phones ring at my work I do the "dooo daaaa dooo" sound now.

  6120. People don't realise when we say "click" our arms get calibrated to pretty close spec from tightening fasteners on the daily.

  6122. Tappy tapped 👍🏼
    2
  6123. That 1 Star reviewer was obviously a Karen. It's their sole purpose in life, to complain. You have to laugh at them, and feel sorry for them. But they bring it upon themselves. I hope the owner of that truck gets at least another year out of it. Let us know if you get any updates on it.
    2
  6124. It's also not fair to have people give you 5 star reviews just because they watched your youtube videos on what you're doing. They also have never been patrons of your business. That's just as unfair in my opinion.
    2
  6125. It's an interference engine. Oh no.
    2
  6126. So sorry that happened. Just saw part 2. I'm 70 yrs old, hotrod mag in 60s. Napa in 70/3yrs, 78/2016 steam turbine repair. I was helping my son 4yrs ago,pulled cyl head 5 cyl diesel. Cams not keyed, tapered fit on shafts. Torque critical to hold sprockets ! ! ! All of the machinery I have been exposed to this was unsettling. Perfect world ok. Reality, cost saver " No Keyways Hell Yea". 10% kill rate more money for us ( mfg). Straight shaft no restraints except face contact ( torque ), crank moves during tightening process. Runs just not quite right.
    2
  6127. Poor kid, that was hidden 💣
    2
  6128. I've got a Honda with 196 k on it runs great
    2
  6129. A mistake is just that,how you deal with the mistake says alot about you.You did the right thing by fixing.
    2
  6130. You switch from GM to Ford there's a learning curve! Sometimes it can be expensive. These newer engines suck to work on, better emissions sure but stupid in their design. That's a dumb design to relay on the balancer for torque alone on that crank sprocket.
    2
  6131. The funny thing is ford has been using non keyed timing components for 20 years. This is not a new thing. Ford has industry best tech information. By providing information this way ford can use low skilled lower paid less experienced techs. This is a failure of the Tech not using the service manual. Failures like this stem from industry pushing away from skilled tech base to instructed tech base. To bad it is the customer that looses in the end.
    2
  6132. Live and learn. Bummer.
    2
  6133. As a forklift/heavy equipment mechanic what can I say other than we ALL make mistakes, I've made a few doozy's in my time and anyone who says they haven't is either 1) Lying or 2) Not doing anything new or particularly challenging. I've learnt far more from my mistakes than my successes. The important thing is we put those mistakes right! Kudos for doing that rather than trying to bull the customer - many dont! Shows the highest level of personal integrity and respect for your customers 👍. I'd be lieing if I said I didn't think of trying to bullshit my way out of it a few times, but the old conscience always gets in the way 😉.
    2
  6134. “I just work here” 😂. Yeah! Sometimes things get really sideways at work. Teamwork & learning from our mistakes makes us better.

  6135.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  take the red pill!

  6152. Great start for YOU and US your followers. Great to see you on your own boss, well that's when your wife is not around haha. Brill video with more to come, Paul (Washington UK).
    2
  6153. Ray, I have not read all 1300 comments yet but I see you are getting a lot of advise It comes with the territory. One thing caught my attention. you should never plug the AC into a plug strip. Compare the size of that AC cord with the size of the plug strip cord. It is like trying to pump up a truck tire with a tire pump plugged into your cigarette lighter. ONLY plug the AC into the wall plug and it is best to not plug anything else into the other plug. Also, early in your plans should be to get that spaghetti looking breaker panel fixed by a licensed electrician. That is ripe for fires and electrical shocks. OK, I will get off my soap box now. Want to see you succeed with few problems.

  6195. so true anyone who's never worked on a northern vehicle can appreciate your comment
    2
  6196. Ray.. you didn't want to work at the shop all week.. but yet here you go working to make videos. Go spend time with your family. From a big brother to a little brother. You do NOT get a rewind button with those kids. Once you miss it you miss it. Once you lost that time its gone. Thanks for sharing and taking the extra time.. but go be a dad.. thats better than being the best mechanic Florida. Stay safe and be well.
    2
  6197. My working carrier has many years of repairing electronics. Mostly car radios and communications equipment. In my experience I learned that the customer rarely actually knew what the issue with their item was. Some even argued when the item repair was completed and returned to them. I have noticed the same thing in some of the videos you have put on your channel. I appreciate seeing a mechanic who understands what needs to be done and does the repair in a responsible and complete manner. I wish all were the same, but sadly that is not the case and you all get the bad rap because of it.
    2
  6198. On noooo. Not a 5.4? Its a 4.6? Oh hell. Now I need therapy 😢. 😂
    2
  6199. You must have had your coffee Ray. You're firing on all eight with this job. Lol Nice work.
    2
  6200. Now wait a minute so to speak,the guy supplied wrong parts ,he was sort of slow responding, needing to wait on correct parts to arrive, and now being in a hurry needing truck to be somewhere?Your a MUCH better man than I am -it's tempting to tell gentleman to take a hike.
    2
  6201. bro your channel is blow up congrat !!!
    2
  6202. I've got an 04 with over 300k miles and I've changed the plugs 4 times. I use a 1/4" impact driver to remove mine and they always come right out. I crack them loose, maybe an 1/8th of a turn then spray some penetrant oil in the hole. I let it sit for a bit then run them all out. Make sure to put a very small amount of high temp anti seize on the threads of the plug.
    2
  6203. Reeeeeeeeeee there’s no drama in this episode!😂 Side note- Dave’s exactly what the shop needed, besides Ray having a target to throw empty canisters at!😁 + 1 Dave! 😉👍
    2
  6204. ROFL Dave saying loud noises OMG too funny
    2
  6205. Ray if your doing the rear main seal also reseal that “kidney” plate to the right of the seal. It’s a super common leak area on the EJ engines.
    2
  6206. You've done a great job getting your storm power source done. And you're right about generators being noisy compared to how quiet your truck is. Generators would attract attention. I've always thought about the Zombie APOCALYPSE and having a fully lit home with a loud generator running. They would naturally shamble in the direction of the sound and lights. They're also looking for brains too but nothing to attract them there. Jk...
    2
  6207. Heck yeah, glad to see the Subaru engine saved. I know that was a tremendous weight off. Prayers for all those in the path of the storm

  6208. No rusted bolts to remove from bushings, nice job FL boy

  6215. Bolt nuts screws? Love your video's Ray.

  6216. Finally someone with some knowledge, so refreshing to see in a comment section that is full of internet ‘master techs’. DTCs won’t tell you what failed but would indicate misfires and incorrect exhaust gases if the injector was dumping enough fuel to lock the piston in the cylinder. Generally I don’t see cracked piston crowns from hydro locks, bent/snapped rods and smashed skirts but the crown is usually in one piece, but I haven’t worked on these engines. Whatever happened here seems to have happened extremely quickly, I would have checked to see if there were any pending codes and how long since the codes were reset, a lot of people try to hide stuff these days with their cheap Bluetooth OBD tools. Either way, I would want to take it apart to find out anyway, these days though people don’t want to pay for that extra time, they just want a new engine installed and not to know if it could just be fixed with a new short block.
    2
  6217. Sometimes engines are just self policing. Cylinder 3 was clearly getting out of line and the crankshaft just said "You're done" It still ran so obviously that cylinder wasn't needed.
    2
  6218. it would be nice to see a tear down and find the root cause. please do a follow up - it would be interesting to let us know how it is resolved with the customer.
    2
  6219. Need a designated 5 minute intermission for a chance to get refreshments.

  6223. The review mirror feature is cool I don't use the cameras or sensors knowing how to use your eyes and look helps getting used to looking at screens and cameras can be bad when they fail if you rely on them 100 percent most people don't know how to look they just use the cameras it's sad these days 50:20 @Rainman Ray's Repairs

  6228. I agree a lot less aggravating removing the intake, plus the intake gaskets are famous for leaking.

  6229. The factory procedures don’t always work. If there is a shorter way, why not do it? But don’t charge the customer for 2 hours if it only took 20 minutes. That would be dishonest. 👍

  6252.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  Much appreciated! Some times some of your more common lingo is repeated, such as 'initiating starting' sequence or if we spot some thing lose on a car 'not enough clickage'. FYI she refers to you as the car puzzle guy.
    2
  6253. Ray! My 5 yr old niece has really taken an interest in viewing your content. Her high points of the videos are the appearance of brake clean with a sound effect and the explanation of gravity! Thank you for not letting adult language intrude into the majority of your videos.
    2
  6254. Ray's catch phrase" It's (insert color) so you know it's good.". One of his idiosyncrasies that make him fun to watch.
    2
  6255. I didn't care how you closed the hole. Looked good to me. You're the one doing the work and know how thick the material is and how accessible it is. Although, you might want to wear different colored gloves. I saw somewhere that engine gremlins are attracted to that color. I think it was a old WW2 Bugs Bunny cartoon. And for you guys that watch cartoons (who doesn't) you know which one I'm referring to.
    2
  6256. Based on 60+ years of electronics repair, electricity will follow the path of least resistance. In this case, the shortest distance between the ground clamp & the welding gun. ( Like your paralleling the larger battery cable with the smaller one for more current flow to the battery). Since the manifold is already at ground potential, and your ground clamp was inches away, IMHO, no damage should occur. That being said, if you were welding on a starter casing or an alternator casing, I then would be concerned about the possibility of damage to the electrical system or a control module due to the possibility of a voltage spike somehow inductively feeding back through the system into a module, especially if your ground clamp was attached to the engine block or the frame of the vehicle.
    2
  6257. You are right on the efficiencies of Diesel engines, it is related to the high Compression Ratios used... or conversely the Expansion Ratio from ignition to exhaust. These high ratios, of over 20:1 mean that the exhaust gasses are cooled much more than in a petrol motor. The thermal efficiency relates to the highest absolute temperature to lowest absolute temperature of the working gas ( air. )
    2
  6258. No part 2 with replacing the A/C compressor/condenser? Geexe, I feel like I just got ripped off by a mechanic.../s. Thanks for another video!!!

  6265. Ray, thanks for all your videos, short or long. This weekend, your lessons on process paid off as I repaired the the brakes on my personal car. I even found myself talking to myself in a Ray voice and I methodically unstuck an improperly installed at some point and now frozen caliper slide. It was cleaned and reinstalled with plenty of lube... Thanks bud

  6266. Congrats on 400 K Brother , it appears you are a very lucky man. Doing what you like and double banging them for it. Health and Happiness to YOU & Your Family. 🤙🍻🍺🙏

  6267. As a tech that hates condemning modules due to how many senior techs i have seen replace them unnecessarily, and even cause damage to new modules because they did not properly test inputs before installation, you really did an excellent job getting straight to the point with how you know its the module. I know they aren’t built like they used to be (leaving out the Kelsey Hayes ABS module) but it still makes me second guess myself every time the thought first comes through my head, “this needs a pcm”.

  6274. I am back to posting comments, for the late algorithms.
    2
  6275. I know it’s about trigger control but watching you drive those screws into plastic with an impact caused me to wince with each one. SO easy to strip them.
    2
  6276. Reeeeeeally good

  6277. Did no one see the big spider at 18:52

  6278. That's a manly looking rig. I've been know to lay the sarcasm on heavily!!!
    2
  6279. Your video came on and I have a idash duel with peddle monster. I said hell no! Went out and installed it. Now I watched your video and loved it. Thanks Ray and wife unit for doing these videos. I've been following you since the beginning and I tell everyone about you. Do do-do.
    2
  6280. How ironic that yesterday's post was on an over tuned exploded engine 😂
    2
  6281. I cant tell what kind of oil you prefer 😏 nice touch.
    2
  6282. Ray as a custom stereo installer in my past, do remove the speaker from the pod before repainting.. luckly its a Bose and more than likely a paper tweeter, a little residue shouldnt hurt . also on your gauge pods...fitting the Banks gauges.. heat the ABS plastic with a heat gun in those corner instead of the dremal. that way it will "mold" around the gauge as you press it into the softened plastic. let it cool with the gauge in place. Then paint everything... use a piece of thin paper between the gauge and the plastic as you are putting it inot place and you wont scratch the fresh painted area.
    2
  6283. Ray you made my day...i am sitting here not feeling good but when you dropped the wobbly showing us that you changed to that and it fell into the engine, i busted out laughing.....thx for making my day...
    2
  6284. I'm betting there's one bolt that's an absolute PITA to get to lol.
    2
  6285. Good job like always young man now have great night buddy don't forget to 😃
    2
  6286. Lol your talking about the bat
    2
  6287. Ray, insane is good. Ahh the daily routine of a mechanic can be exciting! 😁
    2
  6288. Power steering lines are junk on blazers, they all leak in same places.
    2
  6289. Love your videos man
    2
  6290. Yes, I would like to see the Trailblazer repair, please.

  6298. Good job

  6299. A 1,000 horse silverado? You're funny Ray!
    2
  6300. The fuel pressure regulator on these cars (and the 5.0's) were known to leak internally and actually suck fuel into the vacuum line. Probably why it didn't show a vacuum leak but if it was sucking fuel it would probably cause the rich condition. Sometimes you could even see wet fuel in the vacuum line.
    2
  6301. The smoke from the load bank is probably from residual oils that got on the resistors bank in the case
    2
  6302. Both Fel-Pro and Mahle have gaskets for that pan. Why RTV? Previous mechanic was an idiot.........
    2
  6303. @10:45 theres a loose nut looks like for the torque converter @rainmanraysrepairs
    2
  6304. Justin time. Sorry I had to say it.
    2
  6305. First to watch and comment
    2
  6306. I'm only about half way through the video and I'm sure you figure it out. But the sound you are hearing is a bad Bendix great. The spring is weak so it's not completely disengaging.
    2
  6307. And in the next clip Ray crawls under the car without letting it down on the safety stops... But I understand him. You should train to use all safety equipment and only when you have learned everything the way it should be done and why you can start to make exceptions. If it goes bad you have no one but yourself to blame that way. But if you weren't taught how to do things correctly then the blame is really with whoever was teaching you. In my opinion that's even worse. If you know the how and why you can do a calculated choice when departing form the safe procedure. Now crawling under a car on the lift without settling it on the safeties should really not be all that dangerous as the safeties are designed to catch if the hydraulic suddenly fails. It SHOULD keep you safe in such a situation, but should is not 100% safe. So diving in under the car is something that is up to you. As long as you know what the dangers are...
    2
  6308. New Unit.... Welcome!!...... Ray I see the F150 with the rear diff issues is still there! 😢
    2
  6309. You forgot to mention gravity when your planes were landing -;)

  6310. Happy Independence Day Ray! Hope you are enjoying your vacation.

  6311. Are there Gators in the woods along the highway? Love the driving footage....
    2
  6312. Ray, did you get the fuel inlet hose bracket tightened (at the tank) ?? Ha! I just finished watching !!!!!
    2
  6313. I think you are just fine! However it looks like you need new tires and alignment?
    2
  6314. You need tires homey
    2
  6315. And, Yer front tires are shot to hell Ray....LoL

  6316. Original Mad Max film was 1979. Hard to believe. Third film with Tina Turner was 1985. "Bust a deal, face the wheel!"

  6328. Ray you left ur ring on you don’t usually do that just wanted to let ya know I was watching and that I’m observant lol

  6333. Those may have been Torx-Plus, lot of people make that mistake with 4l60 transmissions too. Edit: Just checked, and they're cheese grade hex, believe you can replace them with a normal hex head banjo bolt though.
    2
  6334. That insanity definition is actually a quote from Albert Einstein!
    2
  6335.  @Rekuzan  Positive criticism can be a good thing. Might save 1000's of dollars.
    2
  6336. Ray, I've been watching you for awhile your content is educational entertaining and an enjoyment to watch. I commend you taking the step you took opening your own shop. I also love that you have a very supportive "wife unit" keep up the great work and thank you
    2
  6337. Honestly, it's Youtube and someone will always find something to REEE about. And while you do take steps to satisfy most of us, there's always going one in every crowd. Just stick to the non-plan plan, and you'll be fine! OOOO, Non-plan plan bumper sticker or something!🤣🤣🤣 (when you guys can get around to it, I know yer slammed right meow.)
    2
  6338. great to hear / see Ray again. Missed you buddy !
    2
  6339. Let's go Shop Tire Machine & wheel balancer!! Happy to see the shop growing and you can provide more services to your customers. You deserve the growth!

  6342. SEMA FUN!!! I would buy one too!!
    2
  6343. Hey Ray good day thank you for the upload and the insight again. Have a great day tomorow and I look forward to the next
    2
  6344.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  Perfect! That new pressure bleeder sounds like a fast and clean way to go. Thank you for the speedy response Rainman.😁
    2
  6345. You said the brake fluid was contaminated, and had moisture. I am curious what process you used to evacuate the old fluid. Suck out the reservoir and bleed the brake lines?
    2
  6346. CTS-V hasn't been naturally aspirated in 15 years, Ray. It had the 6.2L Supercharged V8 since 2009, first with 556hp (LSA), then 640 (LT4). It will completely wipe the floor with this lowly ATS-V (464hp).
    2
  6347. Please don't send the disassembled actuator back as a new part...Haha
    2
  6348. You just had to know the grinder was coming out😅😂😂 curious ray
    2
  6349. I never met a differential I didn't grow to hate! Too much doing the same job to get to the point "wear" it's correct! 😎
    2
  6350. I smell u from here
    2
  6351. Thank you Ray. Sorry no power no cell. In Houston we’ve been there several times and no fun. When power return s everyone will cheer
    2
  6352. Good to hear from ya bud! Been watching closely from Missouri Ozarks! Thumbs up button cliiiiick!
    2
  6353. Is that how we speak Ray? Love from Australia.
    2
  6354.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  Thank you also hire an engineer to look at your structure so they can make sure it Florida codes for hurricanes and other high winds.
    2
  6355. thanks for the update
    2
  6356. Hey Ray, I wanted to say to be careful re-enforcing the roof. If it has done well so far, making it stiffer could be detrimental. It is possible that having some flexibility is what has let it survive. Just a thought. Be safe, Bill
    2
  6357. I know a bunch of I&M trucks went down there get your lines back up.
    2
  6358. First
    2
  6359. Older towns here haven't been upgraded. They tend to wait until after a hurricane messes it all up, then upgrade the infrastructure. Sadly.
    2
  6360. Ft Myers has 155mph
    2
  6361. Btw you’re better off cruising up to Lakeland to get fuel if you have to wait 4 hours. There’s no one at the gas stations here.
    2
  6362. Great idea,rolling generator.
    2
  6363. Think I saw that same red farm on cleetus channel lol.
    2
  6364. your family is amazing Ray , and so are the pole climbers shout out to them .
    2
  6365. one of my best friends, her mobile home was untouched by the hurricane!!! Praise the Lord!!!
    2
  6366. You went for a drive up towards Cleetus' area. I recognized the red barn and Rt64 poles.
    2
  6367. Keep safe

  6368. Loved your kids australian impression, that's exactly how we sound 😂.
    2
  6369. "Can we talk Australian?" "LALALALAALA"
    2
  6370. Cheap engineering. Personally I don't see why everything could have been designed to run off of a single belt.
    2
  6371. I need a special tool for my Kia to change the belt. It needs to compress the tensioner. First one I bought I bent it. Got the old one off but could not compress it anymore to get the new one on. Had to put the old back on. No local shop has the tool of a high quality. $100 for a one time use or $160 at the dealer.
    2
  6372. Nope, we didn't have those hi-tech battery operated tools on the assembly line but we did have pneumatic ones. I used to work in Air Tool Repair in the assembly plant at Ford.
    2
  6373. Dude, i love workin with you...im still watchin AND laffin 😅😅
    2
  6374. I would love to have that truck.

  6375. Notification SQuad Have a nice weekend!🔥🔥🔥

  6376. Ray: “…goal I have everyday is not to die…” (Has disagreement with Wife Unit on YouTube) Wife Unit: “not die huh??” 🤔 “you wont die but…..revenge will be mine!! 😈”
    2
  6377. The Boss was correct--AGAIN!. WO and Go are the same command. ROFL
    2
  6378. wife unit to the RESCUE.

  6379. Ray's about to get his @$$ whooped. 😂

  6380. Tread carefully Rainman. Remember "Happy wife happy life, sad wife and .... well.... lets just say it's not good.
    2
  6381. Bodyshop guy stuff. LOL.
    2
  6382. Damn Ray! This video is 45 minutes old and already near 4,000 views. You’ve hit the big time, man!😂
    2
  6383.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  the elephant in the room is the Media that's also peddling this division with their political narrative.
    2
  6384. NEW GUN AND A NEW LIGHT. Ray is getting SOOO FANCYYYYYY
    2
  6385.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  In my defense, I have a masters degree in political science, but was able to over come the indoctrination that comes inherent with that degree and document..I work with my hands, bitcoin, electric bikes, computer systems, solar systems, and build off grid tiny houses..I'm a life long fan of critical thinking, but, don't kid yourself, "ignorance is bliss" For a reason..Critical thinking exposes a never ending flaming pit to hell, most are forced back by the flames, and are scarred forever..But, the critical thinker also understands what a miracle(the odds) and fleeting opportunity it is to be alive, in the human form, and see's the wonder and beauty of Earth and life..Peace my brother...

  6395. Most brands for most products are mfr by a few for many. There are differences between some product (perhaps not between Carquest and Autozone as is same). Or for some products. Nice to go back to when brand and mfr was more one in the same.
    2
  6396. Are the warranties any different?
    2
  6397. Bob Ross? I heard no mention of happy little ball joints. Great video. No worries about the voice over. It was good content and a good description.
    2
  6398. Your voice over is fine. Better to have a video with a voice over than no content!!
    2
  6399. Narration was actually really good
    2
  6400. "gonna go full savage on this one" LMFAO I spit coffee!
    2
  6401. i like the narration you gave and watched the entire video.
    2
  6402. I'm still here! I like the voice over once in a while, lol! Things happen:)

  6403. Now that you're all organized, you won't be able to find a thing you're looking for.

  6407. 5.45 and 5.56?

  6420. You sir are a smooth operater
    2
  6421. Proper use of the language is sadly deteriorating Ray. I love to see it's correct usage in your videos...
    2
  6422. At 14:12 Ray missed a "Do-Do-Do"! Really losing it!
    2
  6423. Having Ray (Master Tech) do tire work, LOFs seems a waste of skills. Kinda like having your Dentist do window washing. Most places I worked had entry techs for basics and porters to move vehicles, keep shop spiffy, keeping experienced techs on hi value tasks. Changing World?

  6427. More background sound on this. Not as clear either.
    2
  6428. That's not actually true about hi on the inside and low beam on the outside . Maybe in the USA it is but not UK and Europe. HID bulbs should also be changed in pairs, not as singles as the colour and performance of the new bulb will be significantly different from the old one on the other side.

    2
  6444. Omg the intro is epic
    2
  6445. I think of automobiles engines motorcycles as family members and I want to make sure they have everything they need to run correctly like you take care of your child people who don't do this need to be reported to the automobile protective society for children LOL good job my man good job

  6450. First!
    2
  6451. there is never a cop around when people do this. here in chattanooga we have some of the dumbest drivers that cut over on you all the time and missing by a inch.
    2
  6452. Goodness. That guy needs an ass whoopin!
    2
  6453. That burn at the end was awesome.
    2
  6454. Glad there wasn't a crowd of people standing on the side of the road.
    2
  6455. Where i live that’s felony speeding, reckless driving and reckless endangerment plus probably a few more charges tagged on for good measure. They would take his car and lock him up and throw the keys away. We still have drivers like that
    2
  6456. Have a talk with his mommy, funny stuff!
    2
  6457. Your a good man ray!
    2
  6458. I hope someone turns him in. people like that do not need to be on the road. Or out of their mommy's basement
    2
  6459. “Your car is actually not that fast” Damn son, that’s like the cherry on the cake!! Delicious :)
    2
  6460. Wow! I would say unbelievable, but after putting my vehicles in ditches more than once to avoid these idiots, it's all too believable!!!
    2
  6461. 😊
    2
  6462. $1000 cash, it was me, it was my mustang!
    2
  6463. Yeah looked like he was blowing the tires off the entire way coming up to pass you. Very dumb. PS I daily drive a 2003 Mustang GT and I NEVER drive like that! I have issues with people tailgating me and trying to provoke me just because the car.
    2
  6464. Wouldn't it be cosmic if he showed up at your stop to have some work done??
    2
  6465. This is what happens when daddy's money buys you a Mustang.
    2
  6466. Your cam is pretty bad at night, the cheap ones fail on this part pretty badly.
    2
  6467. Freaking kids.. we have one that lives back the road from me. It's a 1 mile dead-ender, yet it just needs to go ripping though there. Our county cops are always spread thin, so he's never caught even though everyone on the road complains. We're just waiting for him to either move out, or have his luck run out...

  6470. I can guarantee you that if you keep doing it this way you will have many many more comebacks involving “angry compressors “. They will remain angry if you don’t flush the rest of the system. Facts brother.
    2
  6471. Love your comment, "I'm kinda baffled" when talking about the exhaust system. Great pun, Ray !!
    2
  6472. Welcoming back!

  6503. Love the fact that, despite intending to replace the brake hoses, you tried to save the old brake hose when the caliper tried to fall. Habits die hard.

  6504. Reeeeeeeee…….you’re doing it all wrong!!!……..SARCASM………LOVING The rebuild VIDEOS……

  6512. We was wondering what happened to you 😁
    2
  6513.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  I think you’re right lol. Hope you feel better! Love your videos
    2
  6514. @5:16 When did you start wearing the headlamp ??? Did you get permission from Ivan ??

    2
  6517. We used to sell hundreds of blemish tires back in the day. Uniroyal would send the stores in the network truckloads out to each tire shop and the discount would bring people out of the wood work for tires. Nothing wrong with 'em, just a visual defect that doesn't harm or effect the safety.

  6518.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  Put a 6" lift and a receiver hitch on the Kia and you are styling.

  6520. When I was unhappy with my work situation I started my own business. 35 years later I never had to complain about my employer or how I was treated.
    2
  6521. I pay my tire technicians hourly rate and my auto technicians percentage of parts and labor
    2
  6522.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  I grew up in the 70s and 80s. We had the Country Squire station wagon with fake wood panels and rear facing 3rd row seating. The back glass was down and we were making faces at the person driving the vehicle behind us. There was no tint for the windows, so everyone saw everything. Car seat for the infant? Not necessary. I lived.

  6523. Did you just say meow. 🤣
    2
  6524. It seem's to me you l won't say love ,but like your job?
    2
  6525.  @chuckgrenci6404  as I was typing in my comment, I thought I heard Ray say something to that effect.
    2
  6526.  @chuckgrenci6404  Yep never get your best Tech to do the work a first year apprentice can do with ease.

    2
  6533. All it needs is a new engine, transmission and suspension :)
    2
  6534. Goofy sound effects are partly why I watch you, besides your professionalism as well.
    2
  6535. Ray, I have a ton of empathy for you and your family, having delt with family issues with a member out of control is not any fun. Hope things get better soon. I completely agree with declining further service on that Yoda. A can of worms it is....
    2
  6536. 8:50 he gave us the finger s 😎

  6537. I have to say Ray I really loved the high voltage clip that was awesome

  6538. Okay I'm keeping my 5.3 GM

  6539. Sorry. Part of the territory. Hate that for you but you tried. All you can do.

  6540. Heeey my two favorite car YouTubers.
    2
  6541. a white keyboard and mouse in a mechanics shop.....BAD IDEA! ;)
    2
  6542. Youtube recently recommended you to me. Not sure why I like it, but I have been enjoying watching your videos. Evidently Youtube knows me better then I know me.
    2
  6543. Slob? Have you seen AVE bench?
    2
  6544. Good Sunday evening Ray. Quick video indeed.
    2
  6545. LOL

  6546. Good morning...from Puerto Rico
    2
  6547. I wish I still had the picture; a buddy of mine that runs a shop in Portugal had a customer come in complaining of a "brake noise." Upon disassembly, he found the rotor had been worn down to the point the vanes were exposed on one side, the backing plate on the inboard side was not present, the caliper piston was riding on the rotor surface, and the rotor had separated from the hat, which was so rusted to the hub that the hub had to be replaced. Customer stated "it just started making the noise." A word of advice for guys and gals just getting started in this industry: If you have to borrow a tool twice, buy it for yourself. Doesn't matter how long between borrows. If you needed it twice, you'll need it a third time.
    2
  6548. I’m subscribed to a whole 6-7 channels. Decent way to start my day. I have to go like all the others I’ve watched, I’ve been watching them through the app on tv while I’m laid up after surgery. Have a good week.
    2
  6549. So, is the A/C clutch not replaceable by itself, without replacing the whole compressor?
    2
  6550. Troys face was perfect what the hell is he talking about 🤣
    2
  6551. If you listen carefully you can hear Eric O laughing his arse off
    2
  6552. I wish people in the comments would realize that YouTubers dont record/post every single thing they do. Meaning, just because you don't see it in the video, doesn't mean he didn't do it.
    2
  6553. This is how to explain to non mechanics how parts work and what they're designed for. Simple, concise explanation. When you get to do the work on your truck, please show us everything. Have yourself a great day Ray, Lauren and Dave.
    2
  6554. The 2500 amd 3500 trucks had high idle too atleast some did. Maybe its just cause my truck is canadian. Who knows it kicks on by itself when its cold and usually kicks out once coolant hits 130f ish
    2
  6555. I congratulate you for addressing followers questions. That shows you interacting with the audience ❤
    2
  6556.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  That's my point. This, it seems to me, would be a great opportunity for both Diesel Logic and yourself. One, it would show their willingness to stand behind their products. Two, It might actually change some minds concerning their products. Given the negative comments you encountered. If they produce a quality product this would be a "no brainer" of an opportunity. For lack of a better term, a win win. Imho. Obviously, I don't have a dog in this fight. I just thought it was a good idea. Since I have those few and far between. Why not share it with the world.🤣🤣🤦‍♂ Ok maybe it wasn't THAT good of an idea. But still. lmfao Be safe out there brother! As a fellow wrench turner, I do enjoy the content. Way to go on the shop!! I'd love to offer my 30+ years of experience to work in that environment. But even if I made the cut, the 12 or 16 hour commute everyday would be killer!! 😆🤠😎 Besides, you have a Dave!! Dave's are much better than a guy that's a bit off center🤪

  6559. Wow, didn’t need to eat breakfast after that sarcasm sandwich! Love it. We’ve all been there. When you started talking about the owner’s manual, it made me chuckle. Try this one on for size. I bought 2 brand new vehicles in 2019, a Jeep Compass for my daughter and a brand new F150 for myself. When I picked both of them up, first thing I did was look in the glovebox for the manual and check for the jack and spare tire. The compass had neither, and when I asked why, I was told the manual was on the app or online and Jeep doesn’t include a spare to make the car cheaper. But hey, they will sell you a spare kit for 650 bucks! If it hadn’t been for my daughter, I would have handed them the keys back and walked out. Luckily my Ford has a spare, but the manual is still online.
    2
  6560. Thank you for showing the proper way to change oil.. it was so technical way too advanced for my blood.. so complex . I think I may have to take my highly Sophisticated piece of machinery to my nearest Maintenance personnel. 😝

  6564. Like button: click
    2
  6565. Exactly the opposite here. I watch, my husband giggles.
    2
  6566. Loved the video hahaha. specially the part where you torque the under carriage bolt. And still somebody will say that using extensions will affect the end torque as if mazda had a torque spec for their plastic skid plate. Also I'm kind of afraid this is the first oil change of that car in what 4 years? if the customer had no idea what that witness meant there is a good chance this is the first time they see it
    2
  6567.  @96HDFXSTC  even in a different time zone. The YouTube stamp puts him 5 mins before you. So that is irrelevant.
    2
  6568. 10:55 Remember if you shake more than three times then your just playing with one's self.
    2
  6569. That Kmart torque wrench is a collectors item now. Got to be worth at least $11.99, unless its under a rotating blue light. Then its worth $9.99.
    2
  6570. You guys bored because you didn't catch him in a mistake? Lol, just kidding!, great video to go to the 1st cup of coffee in the morning :)

  6572. Totally hilarious ray Useful as well

  6573. Telling people to RTFM is soooooooooo 1998 though, am I right? But yeah, I'm a firm believer in it myself. I'm that mutant that actually reads the book that comes with anything I buy. I guess that qualifies me for dinosaur status now. EDIT: I just wonder how many of the reeeeeeeee brigade detected that they were being mercilessly mocked. 😇

  6574. Old man. Who reads anymore? You go to YouTube and listen to a video.

    2
  6609. Welcome back and good day to you!!
    2
  6610. I really don't think Ray was making ANY political statement, there's a groove you get into when working & why should Ray veer from a pattern or even take the time to edit it out, what's the priority? Hope this doesn't hurt your feelings but we've all seen alot worse! The Libertarian Party (LP) is a political party in the United States that promotes civil liberties, non-interventionism, laissez-faire capitalism, and limiting the size and scope of government. Maybe you've mistaken Liberal for Libertarian? I'm sure a new fully funded government agency at tax payer expense of course would be all over this! From Miami to the Keys Rainman Ray will be free!

  6612. Hey Ray, love the content you're putting out. I've been a big fan for a while. Just felt like you should know it seems like you new mic does not like loud noises. It comes out as extremely static. Keep up the amazing work. Blessing to you and the family.
    2
  6613.  @Echristoffe  I have told many business owners not to put politics in their business for years. It's like throwing half your business out the door.
    2
  6614. So, about this new mic you have procured, I'm thoroughly enjoying the new camera perspectives you are trying out. I think you were looking for more feedback, but I can't recall specific topics at the moment. Keep the content coming
    2
  6615. As a person who doesn't like Trump. One thing I've said, especially for my small cleaning business ... keep politics out of business. A business is there to make money/profit. If you advertise for Biden, you upset Trump supporters and potentially lose business, and if you advertise for Trump, you upset Biden supporters and potentially lose business ... then there are some people who think politics should be separate from a business regardless of which political person it's for and won't patronize the business, so you lose business there. Best thing to do is to support who ever you want to personally, but keep it out of the business.
    2
  6616.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  exactly Religion and politics should stay out of the shop/ work environment You are there offering a great service to customers no matter what they believe or you believe

    2
  6622. I know how you feel. Living in Puerto Rico we are use to have hurricanes. Going back to work is not normal. We still thinking of the family at home without power and protection, thinking of buying fuel and what to do when we get home is stressful. Be safe

  6637. The bottom line is that reliability on newer vehicles has plummeted, while costs have skyrocketed. Since you already had it apart, there was no sense in not doing it to be honest. Yes it costs money and time, but it would have been even more if you did them separately Great vid Ray..
    2
  6638. You know, Murphy's law. As soon as you get that interior all done. Something like the engine is gonna blow up. LOL I'm actually loving the series that you're doing on your truck. I enjoy this a lot. good luck Ray, you're doing an awesome job.

  6641. Yes, this mod is to increase charging at stop and go traffic

  6642. External amp clamps that fit into multi meters have to convert their amp reading to millivolts in order for the meter to read. For most external amp clamps the conversion is 1A=1mv. Sorry I’m not Ray but I had the answer to your question lol

  6649. some long tube headers and some tuning would be good for that tahoe
    2
  6650. Why was that hose clamp move dangerous? Bears are very irritated by the sound of those screw action hose clamps. So one may come and attack you while you have one hand on the clamp and the other on the tool. That leaves no hands free for the weapon of your choice for bear defense, be that a bow and arrow or a remote lead injection device.
    2
  6651. You think that's bad, try overhauling a series 60 in a rear engine motor home. 8 hours to remove the back bedroom stuff just to access the rear engine cover. Just getting the valve cover off was very tricky.
    2
  6652. Just wanna thank you for the video.

  6698. Another stupid question from the peanut gallery. Why do you drive past the tire locator on the floor? Isn’t that the proper location for the vehicle to be lifted safely?

  6713. I’ve got to learn to watch all of your videos. Usually I pick and choose based on vehicles I own/want to own. It just dawned on me you have great info in all your vids. The maverick video just came on while I was in the other room and I came in to hear you explain how electric parking brakes work. My mom’s Corolla has the same thing and I always wondered how it worked. Thank you!!!!

  6719. I have had experience with someone wanting parts replaced when they were not needed. Seems your damed if you do damed if you don't. I've learned the hard way if they want it just do it. A lady wanted her clutch replaced. I inspected it and it was practically brand new. Her son stated she just had it replaced like 2 years before. So I pulled the tranny and the clutch replaced stated clutch so by her request I 0ut the "old" clutch in the truck. Her husband called me 3 days later yelling and screaming then hung up on me. After lunch that day a HUGE guy showed up looking for me! He stated his wife told him I insisted that the clutch needed to be replaced. Lucky for me we had her sign the work order saying that we inspected the clutch and it did not needed replaced. They ended up eating their words and threats and I received a 100 buck tip. So CYA is a great thing! Lol?

  6742. Yeah. Toilet definitely needs a new chandelier with more crystals 'n' shit. New space looks like it has potential.

    2
  6744. Good day!
    2
  6745. Great looking space! Lots of potential, contragulations. If it was me, I would investigate that water damage in the wall first thing, and prior to any flooring or painting endeavours. Looks like you could save a lot of money / time consolidating the electrical scope also.

  6746. really cool ray awesome 👍👍

  6747. When your shop is open I will drive up from Naples to get my vehicle serviced. 2010 Toyota Corolla, with 110k miles.

  6748. You're right. it didn't take me long to find your shop, you gave too many clues! But don't worry I won't drop by and show up Monday morning. You are 217 miles away lol. Contrats on the starter shop. I wish you the best!

    2
  6754. What did you do to your hand Ray? Love the videos by the way, keep it up please 👍
    2
  6755. What happened Ray to your hand??? Oh dear!
    2
  6756. I just had a 2013 Toyota Camry show up today to the dealership where I work and the customer was complaining that all the warning lights came on for a second and went away. What do I find? A botched battery install, customer had attempted to replace the battery but just barely had the terminals attached, it took zero effort to move those battery terminals. If you do replace your own battery make sure that you can't move the battery terminals and that they are snug and yes routine maintenance of cleaning the corrosion off is necessary. Can't say how many times I have had to replace battery terminals because of neglect.

    2
  6763. Love mixed metaphors
    2
  6764. The company says we can save $10.00 per car by manufacturing and installing a crappy condenser and then we can make more money by selling a replacement condenser.
    2
  6765. Well, it looks like their dastardly plan failed since Ray used an after-market condenser
    2
  6766. Haha Ray, I've been watching the paint grow!
    2
  6767. More like watching the grass on the paint grow😂
    2
  6768. ​ @andyvitz ​@andyvitz really, most people know how it works? I disagree. I'd actually be willing to bet most people don't, because you have to have a specific type of experience to even know what it is, let alone what it does. Not sure why you're on a series of rants here. and I can't even understand your second and third comment lol

  6777. Hey Ray! Did you get the magnetic attachment for the meter I had Amazon send you? Been waiting to see if you use it! It's great, clips into the slot on top, and has a magnet strap to hang it from places when you need an extra hand! Hopefully I got the right address for it. Says it was delivered Aug 20. Wasn't expensive, so no biggie if it got lost, but I thought you would make good use out of it!

  6778. Leave it to an automotive engineer to take the humble fuse box and slap a bunch of finicky electronics inside. Then put those electronics inside of an extremely hot and vibration laden engine compartment. What could go wrong?

  6786.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  Savage but bloody funny, I'm sitting here reading this with my popcorn and coke laughing my arse off 🤣😂🤣😂 On a more serious note, I've watched nearly all your videos and am a passable home DIY mechanic resurrecting a 2001 Mercedes SLK 320 AMG as a project..... A lot of the work I have done has been with reference to your channel, you have helped me solve quite a few of the issues I've had so thank you, keep up the good work so I can finish my car lol
    2
  6787.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  10 Ray, the answer is 10. Anything less than that and you don’t have an arsenal, you have a small collectors collection. Over 10 and less than 20 is a mini arsenal, over 20 with mags and now you have an arsenal.

  6796. Hello from Maple Leaf Country!!! Found your channel just before Christmas, it was my entertainment for this season. Keep up the good work! It is awesome.
    2
  6797. Good morning from Chicago👋 Raymond hope you and your👨‍👩‍👧‍👦s are having a 💯great day BROTHER! 👍
    2
  6798. We all must remember when we are taking these things apart that those are the things can happen in this sort of repair. In this situation I don’t think you can blame it on the technician before because that barb broke and it was plastic and that was catastrophic for the coolant system and it happened after the fact of his installation how many miles we don’t know but when you go in for a radiator replacement or repair some people don’t want to spend the money to get it repaired correctly. It’s the same thing that will happen if you tighten worm gear clamps on plastic radiator hoses too tightly 👍🏼
    2
  6799. Well good morning to you Ray 🌄

    2
  6812. Your channel has grown faster than any other I've watched before, I remember when you were at 20k and now your on the way to 300k.
    2
  6813. (Commenting for the channel and because it does bother me a little) You should be wearing gloves! P.S. I also prefer the funnels to spillage.

  6816.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  ok... i DID miss something 😂
    2
  6817. its early (6:00 am here ) and maybe i missed something?... why changing the entire housing thing?.. thought it was just a thermostat
    2
  6818. Did you clean up the antifreeze that was under the intake?
    2
  6819. Due to the magic of editing there are mower blades in this thermostat housing? 21:51

  6828. @RAINMAN RAY Thank you for explaining things. Im still learning and I appreciate you and your channel. Ive had struts repaired on my vehicles and no one has ever talked to me about strut mounts EVER!!! Scary to think that many dont even consider it. I wonder how many pple have replaced their struts and its actually been the strut mount. I am going to mention this to my brother bc he just had his strut replaced and yes he still has the same noise. Hopefully they make it right. Thank you again.

  6830. PAY ATTENTION. When you sell your junk DESCRIBE IT. "No a/c" is not the same as "A/c not working." And for all you Georgia folks; "Will not crank" DOES NOT mean engine turns but will not run. It means engine will not turn. Dang tired of looking for used cars where people think the description will cost them $ per word. GET WITH IT PEOPLE.

  6839. I'm so impressed! Not only did you hopefully shut up the whiners about torquing the drain plug, but you now have a torque wrench that never needs calibration! I have a Sears 3/8 torque wrench like that, and tho I rarely use it, it still does the job when I need it!
    2
  6840. meanwhile the poster responsible for this is riding a bus somewhere getting upset they got called out. I love it. Keep up the good work and bringing the laughs!

  6843. What is surprising given the amount of rust is that the pistons moved at all.

  6844. Ray you been working on late model crap too long 4 bolts must live run numbers to find out where it came from 😊😊😊❤
    2
  6845. Ray, I admire your extraordinary patience to deal with very complicated jobs, I really congratulate you. I honestly wouldn't dare to do that kind of work👍 Ray, admiro tu extraordinaria paciencia para lidiar con trabajos muy complicados, de verdad te felicito. Yo, honestamente no me animaría a hacer ese tipo de trabajo👍
    2
  6846. Hi Ray, Keep the video clips coming I enjoy them so much. Like you mentioned about your crow's foot and at all cost you would never loose it. In May 1980 I walked through the doors at Rolls Royce and my first item I purchased from the rep was a 3/8 snap on ratchet, I still got the same ratchet and still use it 42 years on. Keep smiling dude....

  6852. The dent on the PT Cruiser fender was there in your other videos on the car. Remember seeing it, but went back and checked the previous videos to make sure and it was there. Anyway, this was a fun video, especially when Lauren got involved with the crane too, lol.
    2
  6853. I had a thought for 'bonus videos' for when you have slow days, or need more content. # start an autopsy box. Where you disassemble a faulty switch, or water pump, or something something and explain/show us what failed. Might need a reference number or date to inform us what/where it came from. Thanks
    2
  6854.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  And there have been many of them.😁😁😁😁😁 Put Justin to it. We seem to be between both of your anniversaries, so HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY. Yes, a bribe.
    2
  6855. !st 1st 1st.......But still NO .......you what RAY.
    2
  6856.  @MrX-fb9uy  Ray is a fine mechanic, but he is definitely not a load master. I suspect that he will appreciate the comments that will help him be safer. I know I’ve learned a few things.
    2
  6857. I gotcha Ray. My bosses husband works for them in St. Louis
    2
  6858. Can't wait to see your next video of your shop!
    2
  6859. It's lube tech day!
    2
  6860. Looking forward for part 2 in about 90days 😂
    2
  6861. Hey, you got a south main auto truck 😊
    2
  6862. Ray, you need to put in a disclaimer at the beginning of the video. “No cars were actually harmed in the making of this video”. 😂😂😂😂
    2
  6863. Gross. A slush box in a Miata. How to take all the fun out of your roller skate 101.
    2
  6864. That must have been awesome to meet Mr Banks! He is true diesel royalty.
    2
  6865. Great video man, & the song @2:41 by Lil’ Troy (Wanna Be A Baller) took me back lol.
    2
  6866. I agree with you 100% Ray! check my response.. ( if you have the time)
    2
  6867.  @ChrisPBolsak  Yup, if the customer is willing to pay to prove he's the smartest one in the room that's his privilege.
    2
  6868. Just found your channel man. I’ve been wrenching for 10 years and Agree completely. It takes legit 20 min to have that intake off and I work on a ton of those gm V8 for lifter noise and oil pressure concerns.
    2
  6869. To all the people saying that he could have done it quicker by doing "XYZ" He has proof that he did it right, so therefore the customer cannot claim that he did something wrong.

  6870. Lifted 4.8 LMFFFAAAOOO

  6871. Safety glasses Ray you don't want rust in your eyes. That would be bad.
    2
  6872. Leaking a comment into the comment section, for the algorithm
    2
  6873. At 3:38, when you walked over to turn the ball valve to half chooch, I paused the video to show my wife the diverting apparatus you use for the various water needs, and the hose bib behind made me think "yo dawg, I heard you like water supply shutoff, so I added a water supply shutoff to your water supply shutoff, so you can shut off the water supply while supplying water"
    2
  6874. Getting Jaguar vibes. Darn I hate water!

  6875. Now I will always wonder what the mileage is on that Sabb. 😂

  6879. I'd give you 1000 likes if I could.

  6884. 9:49 getting kind of close there!
    2
  6885. Ray, Thanks for your informative videos. I learn a lot by watching them.
    2
  6886. A 'Ditch' car! Just my wheelhouse in terms of price! ( Looks like every car I've ever seen 'pancaked' into a culvert on one side...there's tons of them where I live because of people making violent 'hard rights' over deer in front and the dirt in most culverts is so soft the front/rear sink into a rut and force the car over )
    2
  6887. Sacrificial light drop. But that happens every video. Don’t forget, have a great day Ray Ray!

  6894. Hello Ray new sub here I just finished watching the Ford truck series took me all night. But worth every minute. Very impressive work you are a true master at your craft.
    2
  6895. I’m getting crazy dizzy with this episode’s filming 😵‍💫A static camera would be preferable.

  6906. Welcoming back!
    2
  6907. Perfect video as always Mr. Ray!! I really do start my day with your videos while walking my dogs. On days you dont have a new video, I'll go back and watch an older one. Ha, I dont know why I felt you needed to know that...
    2
  6908. Starters never just pop out like that! Now you're just showing off 😎
    2
  6909. Why has Ray been banished to the parking lot????

  6912. I feel smarter every time I watch your videos 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
    2
  6913. The comment section apparently doesn't grasp the concept that the jump box HAS A SWITCH ON IT. On top of that, the positive first thing usually applies to jumper cables. Holy fucking GOD. Duralast? Really? Auto Zone parts are crap. Although, if I had to guess, you don't dictate where the service writer gets the parts from. Just as long as they're cheap.
    2
  6914. Reeeeeee.....c'mon man...I changed out one of these on a Toyota van with that battery cable hot! Just wrap a rag around it and move it out of the way. I'd love to see the YT'ers go wild in the comments over that!!
    2
  6915. Hey Rainman
    2
  6916. I literally laughed out loud! That was awesome! The flashlight (gravity) topped it off!

  6920. Reee🤣🤣🤣❤. Nice job 👏👍.
    2
  6921. What, No jack stand or safety blocks? I have seen a cylinder fail & all it takes is a couple inches to end your life of livelihood! I know, I know. Keep safe man not many of us real honest techs left it seams like. It has been hard for me to retire because I can't stand to see people taken advantage of & I never had to look for customers. When I first opened my own shop 30 years ago, all my customers followed & my old employer closed up in less than 6 months. Even the other tech left when I did cause he had a conscience too. Keep making Great videos!
    2
  6922. Wow, our man Ray just reminded 1000s of viewers how important it is to Start Simple! First diagnosis says Go Expensive! Wiser person says Check the Battery 🔋 First! Ray has saved her mucho $$$$$ which has earned her trust And the money will keep her gas tank filled for months! A complete Win-Win! Greetings from Ontario 🇨🇦

  6948. Love it Ray. Keep up the great video's
    2
  6949. First
    2
  6950. Well your previous employers had accounts so how did they get them. Too many noobs and do nothings these days.
    2
  6951. It'll be ok. Just have the wife unit call around.
    2
  6952. You could have used the frustrated pliers on them 😂
    2
  6953. Ray it's that way in almost every sector. Employees that act like you're inconveniencing them by wanting to spend money, no one says basic friendly greetings like "Hello, how are doing today?" or "Hi, welcome to xxx, can I help you find something today?", etc. In my job I purchase $2M - $3M of expensive network equipment every year. The past couple of years I have had to practically beg them to get quotes so I can process a purchase order, and these purchase orders are typically $150K-$400K each. I don't know what's happening to society but there is a definite change going on, and not for the better. Hang in there, tomorrow is another day!
    2
  6954. Been there it’s been very hard to get the owner out of bed on a Sunday and they are the only ones who knows what to do.
    2
  6955. Keep the click and your humor:)
    2
  6956. Now you got me saying click when I'm working on my vehicles.
    2
  6957. NO.. SAY CLICK... I LIKE IT... NEVER MIND THE OTHERS....

  6958. Do you now own a donor Silverado

  6969. The Gotcha viewer is annoying AsF
    2
  6970. several comments for the algorithm 😎
    2
  6971. RAY: Do a short video about properly bedding brakes. I put a PowerStop brake pad and rotor combo on my '01 Outback LL Bean and the box showed me how to do this; I'm a gear head and yet had never heard of doing this! No wonder all those times I paid those cheap shops to do brakes and wound up with pulsing brake pedals. You talked about doing this in your video the other day! GREAT video!
    2
  6972. Double sirens - they're coming for you Ray!

  6976. That was a good Russian video lol sounded like the guy in the movie Armageddon
    2
  6977. NOW THAT WAS FUNNY,RAYY-- MUUNED.especially when you said can't find leak,will create leak,hilarious. thank you commrad
    2
  6978. 14:03 And if we do not find leak, here in Russia we have to make money for the bread, so I will cause leak. Hilarious :)
    2
  6979. Well that went up in smoke real fast
    2
  6980. Paul Harvey would always have an now the rest of the story. Now Ray is going to have an now the rest of the video.
    2
  6981. Congrats on 500K Subs!
    2
  6982. Charge customer for proper gasket and they can keep or return the wrong ones.
    2
  6983. our guy instead of fixing the car he is fishing the lost sockets for himself 😂😂
    2
  6984. Plot twist: This is the car that hit the VW Tiguan in another video.
    2
  6985. No need to worry except it'll kill you if you're not careful.
    2
  6986. The spark plug tube seals have tabs on this motor because the seals are not a tight friction fit there a loose friction fit were on the 3.4L v6 5VZ-Fe are a tight tolerance fit for the spark plug tube seals so older engines and models don't need the tabs @Rainman Ray's Repairs
    2
  6987. Older spark plug seals from the 3.4L 5vz-Fe is a pain you have to hammer them out in peices the newer vehicles that have the 3.5L are so much easier to get out @Rainman Ray's Repairs
    2
  6988. Number one on with the show😂

  6993. I'm not recording this for you tube? You fibber. Nice to know engines with 17k on them are so reliable,🤣😁.
    2
  6994. How did you know that I’m at a tire place and getting new tires while I’m watching this!! Did Siri narc me out?
    2
  6995. Wingnut is on the passenger side wiggly pin mount right next to the wobbly shaft... just behind the the blinker fluid reservoir.... or it could be behind the dryer where all my lost socks were.
    2
  6996.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  LOL that is a win! I hate those hose clamps and yeah, regular pliers do slip off! I had no idea they made a special tool for those clamps, $20 isn’t a bad price, GearWrench makes good stuff. I need to flush the coolant in my Ford truck soon as well as my Mom’s Kia so those pliers will come in very handy. Thanks for the recommendation and great videos!
    2
  6997. I like these videos over the jeep videos for sure
    2
  6998. Can we get to see the future oil change on this vehicle?
    2
  6999. could have pulled the O2 sensor to see if smoke was going into the exhaust **edit: should have watched to the end before telling you how to do your job lol**
    2
  7000. Thank you for turning the feet the right way!!
    2
  7001. You could have easily never uploaded this particular video or edited it to make you appear to be a know-it-all Master Tech that was sent down from heaven above -- the fact that you did neither of those things earned an instant "like" from me, Ray -- you're a good man. Might be wise to quickly scan for TSBs on your shop computer as part of your future pre-teardown standard operating procedure, especially on these Korean vehicles. The applicable one here appears to be 17-ST-002 (MDPS (Motor Driven Power Steering) Flexible Coupling Replacement). Per Hyundai, "Wear of the coupling does not affect the ability to steer or control the vehicle, and is not a safety issue." They conveniently omitted, "but is guaranteed to drive owners insane and cause significant anxiety"!
    2
  7002. Steering coupler. It's made of crap plastic.
    2
  7003. the rubber bushing in the electric steering box.
    2
  7004. Steering column coupler
    2
  7005. Hi Ray, you're a great mechanic. I don't know if anybody mentioned this below but, Hyundai's are notorious for the steering coupler breaking. It is a plastic part that breaks on all of them. I have replaced it myself. Good luck and I hope this helps.
    2
  7006. "You guys, I failed". No sir, you did not fail Ray (or do the job for free). You showed many thousands of people that honest people make honest mistakes. There is no shame in that. That is not a failure. A failure is if you had quit, which you did not. I saw no negatives here, just positives. Lesser mechanics would have edited their videos to make them out to be geniuses. Lesser mechanics would have charged the customer for their mistakes. Your video showed that you are human as we all are in reality. Your honest and down to earth tone and demeanor is why you have over 527,000 viewers with more subscribing each day.
    2
  7007. I haven't seen a Delorean since 1955.

  7022. Spring compressors: Am I a joke to you?
    2
  7023. You're doing it wrong...
    2
  7024. was i the only one who was holding their breath the whole time till he got that damn bolt in
    2
  7025. thank god on the edge of my seat
    2
  7026. That was sceeery. Didn't know I could hold my breath that long.
    2
  7027. RIP every one at osha thats watched this video
    2
  7028. Well that was a cliffhanger.
    2
  7029. Needed to have the Shaking Hands with Danger song very lightly in the background for the last montage...
    2
  7030. Glad it worked out, and didn't become another FLORIDA MAN story!
    2
  7031. REEEE REEEEE REEEEE REEEEE. You asked .
    2
  7032. I HAD TO DO A SPRING AT HOME i used my floor jack to push it up lol
    2
  7033. Fantastic mini series, really interesting,
    2
  7034. Having a coiled piece of steel going at 60mph is not a pleasant thing
    2
  7035. You are indeed the professional, but that coil spring action is sketchy af dude! Be more careful, that ish is gonna take your head off!!!
    2
  7036. You aced all 4 videos Ray. Good job. 👍
    2
  7037. There’s no way that ABS connector was torqued to spec.
    2
  7038. Well, that series was entertaining to say the least. My engineering background tells me that when there are splines on the shank of a bolt under the head, this is to allow the bolt to be pulled into the hole by turning the nut, not by spinning the bolt head! The splines are to prevent the bolt turning when the nut is done up (similar to what is on wheel studs), thus negating a spanner on the bolt head and making the assembly job quicker on the production line. Now.....if some muppet has done maintenance before you and used air/electric wrenches on the bolt heads, then the holes are likely shot and the splines can no longer serve the purpose that they were disigned for.....Ray. Keep safe, much safer than in this series, I want to continue to enjoy the entertainment.
    2
  7039. I am not a leach I'm a people. Lol
    2
  7040. When you said Reeee spring compressor, my thought fell on their nickname (widow maker) I think what you are doing belongs under the same name 😱 please be careful 😮
    2
  7041. Not to reee but that was sketchy as hell
    2
  7042. Watched all 4 segments. Better you than me. Nice fix Rainman.
    2
  7043. Damn man. I'm flinching watching this at 3 minutes.
    2
  7044. Made me laugh, thanks!
    2
  7045.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  i dont know what some people have against you. But you fix the issue... if they dont seel.the gasket well buy a new sensor its $50 or more depends of the car.. not necessarily other things are damage in the car.... ok there are too many outther which are real scammers ... you record yourseflt doin the works... so how can you scam the car owners... others "repairs" like when you go the dealer and make whole list of what its wrong the car ... hahhaja
    2
  7046. I like when you imitate the phone ringing. So does my wife. More of that please lol

  7054. Greatest Oil Change of all Time On the entire internet Ray 😂 loved the video super entertaining 31:49 @Rainman Ray's Repairs
    2
  7055. Awesome! But in the movie it’s jigga watts. Lol. That thing needs a power distribution block for all those battery connections.
    2
  7056. You led us through all that with pretty much a straight face, to wind up with an oil change, lol! Enjoyed the change of pace (or, was it time?).
    2
  7057. I have 2 coworkers watching, both claim to sub.
    2
  7058. Just wanted to clarify, for those of you not in the know. Putting AcDelco parts on a Ford is funny, because AcDelco makes Chevy parts. That being said, it's also funny that Ray, being a Chevy Guy, refers to his truck as a DirtyMax. Which is what us Ford guys call the Chevy Duramax diesel.
    2
  7059. Thanks for telling me about the sub purge. It unsubscribed me
    2
  7060. Ray I posted this, "Wife unit guest star repair video on her next her car repair." I was wrong that's awesome you recorded for us. Thanx
    2
  7061. Is it used off road or daily driver? If you saw my plow truck that has been rolled over into a ravine stopped by a big oak tree you would cringe, but it plows my driveway and I do not abuse my other trucks. It has been partially parted also as we have another vehicle same year and model.
    2
  7062. I've been quite happy with the longer format videos. It's one of the reasons I watch your content; you actually include all the details explaining what you're doing and why. Keep up the great work m8!

  7066. I-4 is terrible, a Mad Max experience.
    2
  7067. You are awesome love your honesty, you are a great mechanic, shit happens.👍✊
    2
  7068. As a 'layman'; Did you find a cause? You did. Can you prove it? You can. End of story. Some would not go to this length, just say something that MAY solve the issue. That is the difference between you, Ray, and all the others. I think that is all that counts. As a former Mainframe System Ops Tech; sometimes you need to do both ways to prove your point. One is from a long (and sometimes useless), professional standpoint, and the other is by your guts. This is how one learns AND how one might change how the world works :) (at least for all one is acquainted :) )

  7069. JEDI, USE THE FORCE. FOLLOW YOUR FEELINGS, YOU KNOW THEY ARE TRUE. 👍 LOVE THE CHANNEL.

  7070. Hey man,we learn thru our mistakes and when you are buried in work,more mistakes are made because of stress.
    2
  7071. I have my meter in my hand almost all the time at work.
    2
  7072.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  I'd feel terrible if I asked about something you did in the shop and viewers thought I was a troll (or worse). You are an awesome teacher and people are going to have questions. I'm just glad you care enough to not only read the comments, but to answer the question too.
    2
  7073. You mean you'd have to ask "Wife unit" if you could buy one? Been there.....
    2
  7074. It's just another day at the shitshow. Make the best of it 😂 Experience triumphs every time. I'm half insane anymore between quoting, jobs & customers. The wife keeps me grounded.
    2
  7075. Good day from Chicago to you and yours Raymond, looks like you're having a problem🤔 HANDLING🤷 your job today🦧🤣🤣🤣 BROTHER! 👋🧰👍
    2
  7076. No driver side door handle Is that part of that fancy trim package?

  7077. Put the fan shroud back on before you give it back, please.
    2
  7078. Dam, forgot about that great day thingy again. Must get off couch to comply.
    2
  7079. If it's the 4 litre 1GR-FE engine they're not that fuel efficient in a Toyota Hilux from my experience. My 5.7 litre Chevrolet LS1 V8 powered Holden VY SS Commodore is much more powerful & it's more fuel efficient !
    2
  7080.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  ray,,your doing it wrong,,youll have sparks coming out the exhaust when you start it..collect them in a bucket,,plastic,,bucket..

  7085. I loved the special effects/explosion 😃
    2
  7086. Loved the explosion effect!! Classic & funny!!! Keep that one in your archive for any future hazardous operations! Right up there with brake clean effects!!
    2
  7087. You made me drop my phone when the did the explosion 💥 scared the hell out of me
    2
  7088. 1st, again DOODLY DOODLY DO.
    2
  7089. Nice work. Emergency switch is common problem, you were lucky that the switch was not disintegrated completely. VW beetle and VW buses are my daily bread
    2
  7090. You better show us your new Fluke 80 series when you get it. wink wink.
    2
  7091. You touched the bulbs with your bare hands!!!! 😮
    2
  7092. That's one botched up respray someone did on the beetle :(
    2
  7093. I would recommend not putting the compressor close to your office so the noise won’t be an issue for phone calls and such in there.
    2
  7094. Good morning Ray another awesome video I'm happy for you brother you got your own shop😇👌
    2
  7095. My only question is are you going to use as much brake parts cleaner as you did before now that you have to pay for it?
    2
  7096. Rays thinking. Hmmm drifting dirtymax 😁👍🏻
    2
  7097. Dude, thank you for this!
    2
  7098. Hello Ray, good to see you are enjoying yourself and creating content for your scribers to watch.
    2
  7099. Car gravity
    2
  7100. That's a lot like the stadium trucks.
    2
  7101. didnt know you could drive like that!
    2
  7102. It's funny you spoke about the man door being open, it always makes me nervous when you pull in the shop! I'm always like close that door 😄
    2
  7103. If he's anything like me. If he cleans it of he won't know where anything is.
    2
  7104. 499,000 +K subs. Do we have a party at 500K
    2
  7105. That drain plug is a waste of time. I tried using it the first time or two and then realized it wasn't worth the effort.
    2
  7106. Glad you did the taste confirmation this time
    2
  7107. Repairs with 6 figures.....
    2
  7108. You were tempting the Car Gods. If you had thrown a rod or something just as it clicked over to 6666 you would have LOST it. LOL
    2
  7109. Customer states "vibrations of some kind". At what speed? About 120ish 😆
    2
  7110. when your likes get to 666 then all hell breaks loose
    2
  7111. Vote! Vote! Vote!
    2
  7112. I feel it! I live in Houston, TX
    2
  7113. Here is a reliable comment, for the algorithm
    2
  7114. I kept thinking of Forest Gump, "For no particular reason I just kept on going. I ran clear to the ocean. And when I got there, I figured, since I'd gone this far, I might as well turn around, just keep on going."
    2
  7115. When your boss makes a mistake and instead of sending an employee to fix it, he owns up his mistake and asks for help; that's a good boss. Edit: And yes, teach your kids how to drive stick. My mom taught me to when I was 9 on how to use a stick, feel when to shift, how to properly use the clutch, the coordination of clutch, shift & accelerator and when I was 13, she just drove to the middle of the city, at rush hour and told me: "Here, drive to this destination". Needless to say I was scared poopless but I started to get my independence, confidence and, most importantly, awareness when driving on heavy traffic. Also, something like 80% of all the cars driven here are stick. Differences in countries eh?
    2
  7116. There's nothing you can't do with a dually pickup and 400 feet of chain!
    2
  7117. Of course you can teach 6 year olds to drive a stick shift car. As long as you do it on a closed private "road" and they can only drive supervised. Happens on most farms and usually goes just fine. Kids will find all sorts of things to get themselves into trouble and it's better to teach and supervise them than for them to do the dangerous stuff on their own. It will teach them a lot about dangers, general safety and such so when they are on their own and find something new to dick around with, there is a lot less chance they will mess that up.
    2
  7118. This will be the fastest that the "Chinesium" car will ever go... but on a trailer.
    2
  7119. Ray shout out from 702 Las Vegas, we love the content man.
    2
  7120. Most People have NO IDEA how much Vacuum Leaks effect an engines performance, especially in computer controlled FI Cars. Smoke machine is the BEST TOOL to find them.
    2
  7121. Big vacuum leaks or low fuel pressure? On to the video.
    2
  7122. I was thinking the same thing!
    2
  7123. Backfires and makes weird noises? I think that's from the factory like that
    2
  7124. I’ve been watching for videos for a while. And I can see that your are very good at your job just have you ever been stumped by a vehicle?
    2
  7125. Those 80S Buicks have their own cult following. I've seen some restored examples and they are cool.
    2
  7126. New cover has a new seal.
    2
  7127. He Torqued the damn CAM BOLT OFF CAMERA ALREADY.
    2
  7128. Thanks for sharing the Doge Rampage with us, and yes I misspelled it on purpose.
    2
  7129.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  Lol I was referring to the previous mechanic who put the last oil gasket on at The torque of the Germans.... Goodentight
    2
  7130. You seem happier working for yourself, especially because you can have the fam there.
    2
  7131. Yes we want pt 2 to this video please
    2
  7132. At least one crankshaft bearing has spun and is toast. If it was a cam bearing and rattling that bad, the valves wouldn't be seating and I'd think you would hear it in the exhaust or the intake. With the amount of metal that's in the oil, every bearing in the engine is going to need replaced. I could be wrong but the only way I will know is if you video the tear down.
    2
  7133. Yes for an autopsy
    2
  7134. New to your channel watched since three months back seem like all the haters have left
    2
  7135. 1st. Doodly Doodly Do of February.

    2
  7137. Good morning wrench slinger
    2
  7138. That’s nuts. As always great videos. Keep them coming.
    2
  7139.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  I really like your camera idea , I just haven't figured what to attach it to yet !
    2
  7140. Camera makes a great diagnostic tool. Way to make it safe for customer.
    2
  7141. What was the oil leak on that puppy? I have an 05 TJ and did the valve cover and head gaskets for that recently. Still slowly weepin out the rear main, but thats later later later. Also, i need to check my bushings!!
    2
  7142. Nice to see one put so much effort to shoot this footage. 👌
    2
  7143. Hey Ray , you missed a big opportunity on that Jeep . Did you ever see the Alfred Hitchcock movie , Cape Fear ? The antagonist is watching this family . When they go on vacation to - Cape Fear , NC , he HANGS ON UNDER their vehicle till they arrive there . You could have gotten the NEW GUY to hang under the Jeep with camera in his teeth . It's ALL part of becoming a Class A Technician ! Great fix . On the Nissan - customer states " I think I am low on air in one of the front tires " .
    2
  7144. it's called 4 wheel steering... haven't you ever heard of it?!? ;)
    2
  7145. Cool vid Mister.
    2
  7146. Its not the visuals that make the show interesting its the commentary!!
    2
  7147. kia

  7148. Good morning Ray

  7149. notification squad, Have a nice weekend!🔥🔥🔥
    2
  7150. You're the worst 😉 I was thinking injectors but I'm glad to have learned something new
    2
  7151. Watching this before going to bed.
    2
  7152. Nice work thanks for sharing
    2
  7153. Hey Ray, at 56:06 your cap reads HUILE MOTEUR which is French (for motor oil), not German. Enjoy your content and learn a lot.
    2
  7154. Im so over climate change and green energy.. unless you get china, India and Pakistan to stop polluting, the rest of the world won't make a dent in carbon emmisions.
    2
  7155. Been talking with my dad hes in the affected area(s) of western NC/eastern TN. He of course is stressed to the absolute hilt (as likely anyone would be with this devastation) Without getting into politics hes calling the response "a (bleep)show they dont care about us" etc...completely understandable. I said look Dad maybe you havent been able to see the videos and pictures of the devastation. places like asheville (he lives 30-45 mins from it) is basically an island now...some places like chimney rock and marshall (county seat there) are gone. Help is on the way but unless they can do it by boat or barge even that will be limited until the water recedes. It seemed to calm him down a bit. @rainman ray try to get some rest you're no good to anyone on being on autopilot, you need time to get faculties back in sync and to process what has happened. God bless you guys down there, y'all stay strong. ❤
    2
  7156. Getting fired did you a favor Ray. Do you think you'd be at SEMA today if you were still in the shop? Everything happens for a reason!
    2
  7157. Good morning Mr Ray sir from the UK 🇬🇧❤️
    2
  7158. Awesome. Looking forward to updates
    2
  7159. Hey Ray .... find your videos and your 100% positive outlook on life very inspirational ... our government in the UK badly needs people of your calibre Ray to cheer us up and get us out of our pickle at the moment. Looking forward to more of your videos Stay safe and "have a great day" From East Yorkshire, England 🇬🇧
    2
  7160. Went to SEMA for the first time in 2011. It was amazing. It's so much to see. You literally can't see it all. Enjoy the show.
    2
  7161. Enjoy SEMA Ray, you look like a kid on Christmas morning ready to open your presents.
    2
  7162. Have a great time
    2
  7163. Watching your videos gave me the confidence to do a sparkplug job on my friends '10 Rav4. It's a relatively simple job but it was going to cost her money she didn't have and I was glad I was able to help her down the road. Thanks Ray!
    2
  7164. So excited for SEMA. All I can say is, NETWORK, NETWORK, NETWORK! Especially with how close you're located to Cleetus and the FF back home.
    2
  7165. Welcome to my time zone. But I'm no where near you. Starting my new job with Ford today. Well, Ford dealer.
    2
  7166. 👍
    2
  7167. Notification Squad!🔥🔥🔥

  7168. Hey Ray, always wanted to go to SEMA and never have yet. It's on my bucket list. Looking forward to seeing what you show us. Cheers!

  7170. The attached old video has 3,501,455 views from Aug 6, 2021 and 6,289 Comments. But no Doodly Doodly Do's.
    2
  7171. First
    2
  7172. I’ve always called them Bob Cats. Never referred to them as Skid Steers. Is it a regional thing?
    2
  7173. Good to be back hombré
    2
  7174. Is Ray's "wife unit" making her own videos as I read below in a comment? If so, where do we find them? My wife and I are interested in viewing. This is all interesting and I want to soon return to the auto repair videos and home projects.
    2
  7175. Im singing, "Ray came in like a wrecking ball" when watching this.
    2
  7176. Nice progress, it's awesome seeing you moving forward in such a short period of time 👍 Super high speed always makes me laugh when you talk 😅👊
    2
  7177. For some reason seeing the truck filling itself up, was hilarious. Kind of like seeing a power strip plugged into itself! LOL
    2
  7178. You did it wrong you should have... Just thought I'd try to sound like an expert. Recent subscriber. I love the content. Thanks buddy
    2
  7179. Not sure if it was a Trolling thing, but you missed the 2 last bracket bolts under engine cover.
    2
  7180.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  it's the same way in my shop talking to a service writer and a air hammer goes off every time you open your mouth to say something. I was laughing.
    2
  7181. (1)As to the two hammers... It took 28 years for the chunk of steel in my belly to come out. Do something like that and drink a lot of milk. the calcium sealed mine in till it fell out. (2) Thank you. That was a great video. I enjoyed it on Vodka and O.J. not drunk just felling good. Keep it up, I really like your videos.
    2
  7182. Big fan of South main Auto up in New York but also a big fan of your channel. I can relate more to your cars without the rest as I live in Georgia and used to live in Florida
    2
  7183. I'm with you there on not using a line wrench on the one's you are removing . They are good on really tight places but they are a pain in the (donkey) to use even when it is needed ! I would rather use an open ended wrench if at all possible ! Nice job on not smashing the digits and the restraint of not using the other choice words ! Myself being ex navy and a diesel mechanic i would have used all the words that you didn't use ! Looking forward for your next video !
    2
  7184. Love your videos. Ordered the angry pliers.
    2
  7185. Happy 150k subs may your channel grow and grow!!😁😁😁
    2
  7186. I am not a car mechanic, but I find your videos and work ethic honorable and REALLY interesting to watch. It's a great way to understand the work that goes into auto maintenance. You seem like a great representative to your profession. I wish you much success. I have a mechanic very much like you and it's GOLD to have access to pros like you. Your videos are really outstanding. Thanks for posting them. I'll keep watching.
    2
  7187. $150 worth of stuff bought through your link to Amazon. I think you owm me a like for plugging me twice in two separate videos!
    2
  7188. Happy Saturday Ray. Escarado Dirty Max it’s an awesome truck.
    2
  7189. Having done interior work. I dont blame you for not filming it Ray. It is tedious and agrivating. And not fun. I was surprised when you filmed the other videos knowing how much of a pain this kinda work can be. But as always great content and thanks for the video Ray
    2
  7190. My thoughts on top of others complimenting you on your videos not being boring... I like your commentary especially in them. Without it they might be boring to just have dead air and no commentary. You're very good at it, thank you.
    2
  7191. I'm going to assume that you will revisit the front speaker panel and remove the cloth trim and paint the metal grille, I know for sure that your OCD will kick in and compel you to make a better colour (UK spelling lol )( color USA Spelling ) match.
    2
  7192. I honestly love your videos much more entertaining/educational thin YouTube shorts
    2
  7193. I like what you are doing to your truck

  7196. I tried the one handed method while working on my car. Its on my youtube but I'm no professional like you are.
    2
  7197. Tricked me? Did you Ray? Maybe I like Unboxing and oil change videos.. Maybe it is you who has been bamboozled! ❤
    2
  7198. Thanks!
    2
  7199. I do report these guys whenever I see them in the comments but it seems Google does nothing at all about them.
    2
  7200. Been waiting for this one! Gooowd stuff Ray. Have a great day.
    2
  7201. Notification Squad!🔥🔥🔥
    2
  7202. I almost started geeking out when I saw this video -- I had a Grand Cherokee that was almost identical to this one, and I'm going holy heck that's my old Jeep...then I saw the 5.2 in it. Mine was the 4.0. But for a minute there...wow! Good job, sir. You keep cranking and we'll keep watching!
    2
  7203. Eric O says The Big 5.2 or what ever size it is You should say the mammoth 5.2 or whatever size it is
    2
  7204. This is going to be interesting...

    2
  7217. The first one to give a thumbs up, and the first one to comment. That means 2 first's for me. I know, big deal.
    2
  7218. I agree with you, but, as they say, regulations are written in blood. Speaking for myself, I learn something new from each of your videos, so don't worry too much about boring us. Your editing keeps it concise.
    2
  7219. 9th. Earlliest i have ever commented on a video.
    2

  7238. who would spend this kinda money on an old ass cop car with one bizzilon miles on it and countless idling hours.
    2
  7239. Never seen you so mad!! 😡
    2
  7240. More videos. It has been 12 hours since your last update. :)
    2
  7241. "I dont always giggady, but when I do, I Giggady-Goo!!!!"
    2
  7242. Ray I wouldn’t let things like this bother me, have the custy sign a waiver that there’s no warranty and the issue might not be fixed without diag. Slam it in there and get paid.
    2
  7243. No matter how many times you have the sound effects with the spray cleaner I laugh my a.. off. You make my day Ray
    2
  7244. Hes not talking about a single customer, he means several other customers for the Same thing
    2
  7245. Reeeeeeeeeeeee!!!! That's an 07-09 Camry!!!! Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!
    2
  7246. At 6:47 I was becoming deeply disappointed at the lack of Brake Kleen sound. Then you redeemed yourself!
    2
  7247. Hahaha. The one time I see a reason for the "Shop Supplies" line on the bill. Customer's like "There is no way you used $12.34 in shop supplies". Ray: "Bet".
    2
  7248. You know... your socalled "rambling" is one of the reasons that your stories are so interesting.
    2
  7249. Had a guy in Illinois just like you if he had something apart he wouldn't charge you extra labor if something new came up. Hated moving from Illinois because I lost him as my mechanic.
    2
  7250. First of all, Everything is Ray's Fault! Having said that, the Stealships are generally owned by Locals who give a lot of cash to the local pols and JUDGES. (Local Magisterial Level Judges). Very difficult to get any justice, UNLESS you go in with a Law Firm from several hundered miles away, OR, you have an Actual Real Politician that you are close to, and have given Real Money Support to, to call them up. If either of these two things happen, then, the Crims will laugh and pay.....OK to have to do the Right Thing every 1,000 or so Times. RAY is smart....No way he can have any effect here. Read the two aspects, presented above. This is kind of EFFED up America we live in. And, anybody wanna bet the Stealership hardly pays much money to their Techs????....And, anybody wanna bet on the ethnic angle on the Owners of the Stealership??????
    2
  7251. Ray, this is the best video that you have done in a long time.
    2

  7258. Not advocating one way or the other but modern automobiles use very thin oil scraper rings which coke up a lot quicker than their thicker ancestors. True if you change the oil on short intervals and use quality oil you can prevent this but most folks don’t. They go down to the local Autozone and buy the cheapest crap they can and run it for 7 to 10 thousand miles if they bother to change it at all and then wonder why they’re burning oil. Crank case flush can often bring a vehicle back from the brink. Personally I change mine every 3000 miles or so and I use Mag 1 oil or an equivalent so I don’t have to flush.

  7259. Now ...Ray... you know if you put that radiator hose on backwards it creates a reverse 'osmosis effect'😏

  7260. Welcoming back!

  7263. My very first impression 30 seconds into the video (for science!): Silverlade is technically the most accurate descriptive of the parentage percentage of the vehicle. Escalado sounds better and rolls easily off the tongue. All that said, Escaladarado is my choice b'cause it's the most fun to say!
    2
  7264. My brain is literally fried 🤯 Get it. Great job Ray.
    2
  7265. Well well well well well I kind of enjoyed this video at least you weren't talking about playing with your nuts in this one😂😂😂

  7266. 8th! GOOD FRIDAY MORNING RAY AND THE WIFE UNIT! Not to overlook the new employees! Roger in Pierre South Dakota

  7277. How come YouTube dates this video to March 26, 2022 (today), while I can read my own comment from a month ago?
    2
  7278. I really almost lost it when you played helicopter with the magnetic wand.... and played.... and played. As you said, it is your choice for making your day. It seems you are a master of your sanity.
    2
  7279. Did you tighten the pulley bolts? LOL You prob left it out on purpose to trigger the trolls LOL
    2
  7280. I didn't see you retorque the pulley bolts on the pump after you remounted the belt. You mentioned that was easy to forget that step, when you were doing the disassembly. I sure hope you didn't forget, and just edited it out.

  7281. 98th! Have a wonderful Weekend Ray,Lauren,and the gentleman new employee,Dave. Roger in Pierre South Dakota

  7282.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  I get in trouble a lot using my voice. I'm the coroner for my county and when I meet with my commissioner's monthly, they keep asking where the nice quiet man is that used to be there. I tell them that I got tired of being treated like the red headed bastard child of the county. They have asked me to not come back for meetings anymore and I'm good with it. Keep up the voice my friend.
    2
  7283. It appears that the fuel pump assembly was not designed for Ethanol in the fuel. It was deadly on fuel systems back in the day. Still crap...Ethanol, that is.
    2
  7284.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  👍I respect that people like you speak what’s on their mind without being influenced by others. I can tell that you are not repeating someone else’s opinion. Good job!
    2
  7285. Lauren is a real trooper. A treasure to behold. Ray, a true gentleman. Oh, and...Re, re, re, re....I don't really have a beef with anything here, I just didn't want to waste the opportunity.
    2
  7286. If you really want to see a cesspool, go to Washington DC....lol Good job on that truck. I have a 1989 pickup with 275,000 miles but the engine went out. Good parts truck
    2
  7287. I have one question, do you talk to yourself when you're not on camera. Lol
    2
  7288. Lol no gas
    2
  7289. To have to constantly go back and forth to get your tools like that would waste so much time. Which means that company would get to charge the customer more. Plus, I get professionalism, BUT you're in a mechanics shop and ppl don't give a sh*t how clean a mechanic is. A dirty mechanic is a WORKING 💪 mechanic. Sounds like that company just wants to micromanage their employees and overcharge the customers. You did dodge a bullet there.
    2
  7290. He will repair it himself with crappy parts and have alignment done elsewhere wasting an hour of your time. Was in the business as a mechanic since 84 even had my own shop for 7 yrs and those people are everywhere but I have to say there are a lot good customers out there when treated right. I’m not saying you treated him wrong he is just one those types that thinks they know what their vehicle needs and no one can change their minds. Good job there fellow technician

  7291. I think the majority of your magnet on a stick tools are stuck to your 10mm sockets that have dissolved into the next dimension in the matrix.

    2
  7305. *** RAY ABSOLUTELY MUST READ*** For future reference from experience on this exact car except Xr with 3.6. No start while hot. The relay box fails internally and when hit the internal ground circuit breaks. One fix replace the relay box. Difficult to find it is option dependent on these cars. Also your lucky it wasn’t a 3.6 the starter is much much much more difficult to do.
    2
  7306. Sound excellent excellent job.
    2
  7307. Had the same thing of a spun bearing in my 1963 Chevy Corvair Greenbriar van. The inspection garage was hot rodding around with it according to a friend who saw them, but of course they denied doing so. Changed all the rod bearings and the engine was fine. Drove it another 2 years before buying a car and giving it to my brother. MSgt David R. Smyth, USAF, Ret.
    2
  7308. You're not a real mechanic. I haven't heard you swear once!
    2
  7309. For some reason in my brain every time I heard bearings I expected to see little roller or ball bearings. Those bearings look just like a metal half-sleeve to me. I don't understand how they work - do they just provide a surface to keep a thin film of oil on instead of directly on the end cap?
    2
  7310. I haven't run into one of those... I'd be gone in a minute. Agree with you 100%.
    2
  7311. Didn't show tightening the nut on the oil pickup tube. I hope that he tightened it and just didn't show it.
    2
  7312. Great job brother!
    2
  7313. Much better without music great job man
    2
  7314. Never used a hook to pull down a rod. Going to use that trick next time. Thanks.

  7330. Ray, it is only fair for you to use Erick O's break clean can closeup. Since you got him to say "DOO DEE DOO" when his shop phone rings over the intercom. LOL!!!!!!! Keep up the good work.

  7343. Oi Oi Ray , G'day from Queensland Australia

  7344. Ray, what you felt when the tire blew on the truck in front of you was the concussion. Percussion was what is heard when a solid object strikes a hollow one.
    2
  7345. Back to were we left off on yesterdays Ted Talk about a day in the life of Ray
    2
  7346. At 10 minutes into this video I’m going to take a guess but the tires are going to give out before you get home. If they don’t you are the luckiest man in Florida right now. Eventually you’ll be sorry you did that, lol.
    2
  7347. How many trailers do you need Ray?
    2
  7348. I WOULD...AFTER a quick inspection...ALWAYS should cross the chains imo....

  7360. Lol glad I'm not the only one spending more on tools than I'll make on the job.

  7362. Breaking parts is an expensive education 🙃
    2
  7363. Dude, I waited twenty minutes at Homeless Despot after calling in and identifying the item (welder) to be unlocked and proceeding directly to the customer service desk and obtaining the assistance of the Key Lady. Same person I spoke to on the phone, seemed to have no recollection of the call. I went back to the desk to politely complain after waiting twenty minutes and the same lady acted like she'd never seen me, but did recognize that I'd called in about the welder. Even when you find the employee with the key they'll still fuck you over. I'm convinced it's a job requirement that they waste however much of your life they can get away with each visit.
    2
  7364. Any car you’re looking at.. promise me you’ll have it checked sir! Don’t have it checked after you sign. Have it checked before you sign. I know this sounds common sense but not many possess it when it comes to car purchases I’ve found. These cars can eat head gaskets like candy and if you buy one that’s leaking internally like they typically do— you’ll have no car!
    2
  7365. People unsub because they think you have an "assault rifle?" That's so weird. That's why I claim to not understand people. Clearly these people know nothing about guns. What even is an "assault weapon?"
    2
  7366. I cleaned my engine with a AR 15 and now it leaks everywhere

  7371. Me to with Covid. Been a ruff week but coming out on the other side. Funny how I like to start my day with a guy with a positive attitude who gets thing done off the checklist. The only problem it feels like I got some things done when actually I’m sitting on my butt drinking hot coffee enjoying myself. Blessings to you Mr. Ray and family. You will go far! On a another note your teaching the young employees the CORRECT way to be a worker. So so important
    2
  7372. I'm subscribed to banks power on YouTube they have a video on that adapter for the mass air flow sensor it keeps the sensor reading stock readings for the bigger piping so it doesn't trip a check engine light

  7376. They are called Trolls; they love to hate. Keep video coming, you're doing great.
    2
  7377. Other channels who have memberships do the same thing- they give videos early access and give them content no one else sees. You don't have to apologize.
    2
  7378. How dare you provide your FREE entertainment to people willing to PAY for it 6 hours early! You literally have nothing to apologize for, and anyone that thinks you do is probably too busy filling out mail in ballots for the next election to care.

  7379. Yea, and my inner child just loves it !!!!😊

  7386. Heck yeah !

  7387. Ray, you made such a simple suggestion, with absolutely no political overtones that I could see. It's a shame that such a statement should be met with petty arguing and point-scoring. I hope you enjoyed your Independence Day. 😁

  7388. Good day everyone

  7391. Well said Ray! We fought a war for independence from tyranny and won. The USA is the greatest country in the world.The people don't believe that are the people who hate this country and want to destroy it. They don't know or don't understand our history. They try to judge our past by applying today's standards and norms. We've made mistakes along the way but fixed them and moved on; continuing to form "a more perfect union". It's no surprise that people from all around the world are trying to come here every day. Just look at the southwest border crisis...150,000 a month risking their lives and at huge expense to get here because we still have some semblance of freedom and opportunity. We must all resist those who intend to divide us and take our freedom. Like Ronald Reagan said, “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.”

  7392. Blame it on the CrowdStrike update
    2
  7393. I never used that camera, but I have an idea of what it may be from an electrical perspective. There could be something that failed on the motherboard inducing arching near the display or button input areas. They are tiny components and could be hard to fix individual parts. You might see if you can buy the motherboard if it is cheaper than buying a new one. However, we all know DIY can sometimes break an item worse. Anyways, once again another interesting video. Keep them coming brother!!

  7400. Ray...I like the way you explain what you are doing and how the customer could have avoided the problem in the beginning if they would have done something a little different. You are indeed a good teacher. Do not change anything different in your presentations. I look forward to your presentations. THANKS
    2
  7401. Haha you have to work on salt belt crap like the rest of us.
    2
  7402. So awsome man

  7405. You are going to be awesome and if others can do it so can you. SMA, Watch Wes Work and others have dared to forge their own path.
    2
  7406. Go for it. Well done.

    2
  7421. I'm worried you're trying to make it through a Florida hurricane sober. Stop messing around and get some drinks in you.
    2
  7422. It's over Ian! I have the high ground!
    2
  7423. Hopefully you don't get a serious flash flood, you have a one story house, no where to go, I've been there stranded on my roof for 6 hours, hoping my house didn't get washed away, but I built it myself to endure such an episode..
    2
  7424. Play it safe think ahead please but you always think ahead so I know you will do very well in the end. You have some work ahead of you that is for sure

  7430. I can't tell you how much I appreciate you not saying MERCH. I hate the friggin' word.

  7433. 0w20 🤨 In a hot climate and a small high revving gasser... well at least its high quality Valvoline. Id say 5w30 is the better oil for this car but I know manufacturers spec and all that... If I had one of those new cars speced for 0w20 or even 0w16 I would test how it handles 0w30 or 5w30. People say the tolerances in modern engines are so tight that 0w20 is actually the best oil for such engines but then the same engines are designed with maximizing fuel economy and efficiency as the main objective. So running thin oils is a necessity sadly. But then they use special spraywelded or etched on coatings on the cylinder walls to make them smooth like glass and use low tension piston rings and that combo improves engine efficiency by a couple percent apparently BUT you are also going to need a very resilient lubrication film that clings onto smooth surfaces well so in theory a 5w30 can do that better than a 0w20 because it is more viscous.
    2
  7434. Most techs would just replace the o2 sensor treat and street style your going the same direction of diag as I would of. Good job brother (retired old tech)

  7441. Haven’t watched the whole video yet only 9 minutes in…..but seeing how you asked what we think I’m gonna say EGR value definitely most probable….but I’ve been in this game a while and I can’t look past the O2 sensors….one is ridiculously off.

  7446. Could be a 307.

  7453. Can never have enough cart space ……..Period😉
    2
  7454. Nice and Shiny 👍 love the full on Banks modifications. She's going to be so happy running like she should 👍
    2
  7455. After watching your videos now for a couple months, I have a strange desire every time I walk out to my car to jack it up pull off the tires and the engine cover just to spray with brake cleanerr and say "Nice and Shiny" Thanks for the earwig Ray!
    2
  7456. Ray shout me out it's my b day lol
    2
  7457. How on earth did that happen?
    2
  7458.  @WherEmEweeD  I do occasionally feature mechanical stuff. More coming up though.
    2
  7459. First 😂 them things are toasted
    2
  7460. The wedge is on the strap so you don't lose the wedge. Or the strap. Found that out the hard way
    2
  7461. SOP (Standard Operating Procedure) See new Rainman Ray video, get coffee, hit like, then watch video.
    2
  7462. Surely you are aware that this is a repost?
    2
  7463. Is this a re-upload? I swear I've seen this exact clip before
    2
  7464. I make it a point to not blow myself up every day too Ray. Especially when we have a boat down the ramp and the tractor starter shorts itself out and starts smoking and the battery starts smoking too.
    2
  7465. who else applauded when it started
    2
  7466. @Ivo Tierie He posted a community post about it. YouTube published them before he wanted.
    2
  7467. I say son , you're doing it all wrong ! You're suppose to drive a 10P nail between the battery cable end clamp and the post to tighten up the connection! And my personal favorite--cut the power cable wire from the alternator to the Positive post by splicing the new wire in using a wire nut on a #8 wire! Big ol red giant wire nut that melts when the connection goes sour!
    2
  7468. we don't really say "schmooo". someone led you astray on that one
    2
  7469. Sorry Ray - I have to unsubscribe as I am starting to do düüü de düüü tones - (your workshop phone ringtone) - when watching your videos 🤣 Keep up the good work, man.

  7478. Hey brother
    2
  7479. I think I have found a New Favorite YouTube Channel
    2
  7480. Your description of the phillips screwdriver reminded me of a friend who used to call them positive and negative screwdrivers
    2
  7481. 32:35 You think we watch this channel because we’re normal? Not all weirdos watching, but it helps.😊😊 Another good find and saved these customers time and money. A quick and easy fix is only easy if you know what to look for. Love it. Keep them coming.
    2
  7482. That phone was really angry tho
    2
  7483. OLD OIL ON THE GASKET!!! 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡 JK'in I do the same crap 🙄
    2
  7484. stupid, why they want old bottles back. if you can't trust the shop. why bring it there?
    2
  7485. Been burned by jiffy lube too many times, methinks. I assume new customer?

  7486. Air leak is definitely gone from injector 1 good Repair you can definitely hear the Difference on the camera @Rainman Ray's Repairs

  7487. A comment for your algorithm.

  7489. It was purchased as an 80% and finished on site!😂

  7491. Eric O named his smoke machine The Avoca Smokaaa!
    2
  7492. Ray the troll is back commenting lets talk. You know your popular when your Chanel gets trolls.
    2
  7493.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  shame... Hope you read this, but you're an amazing mechanic. I've been in the industry for a while, and you, sir, are inspirational. Truly, you are one of 3 creators, whom I immediately press the thumbs up as soon as I press play. I wish you eternal success!
    2
  7494. It's funny being a retired mechanic, when you were walking up to the car, it was familiar and I remembered you changed a 02 sensor on the car. Before you said what you did on it last time.
    2
  7495. Great job Ray thanks for sharing? And I like it when you rabble your funny 🤣
    2
  7496. See the impression on the underside of the seat? Where the subs sit? Their slamming into the seat. Not good. Very bad for the subs. Looks like another quick shop job. In and out. I hate install shops for work like this. Do it all myself.
    2
  7497. Free undercarriage wash. Yay!

  7504. I stayed a weekend in Florida Keys on photo shoot. A lot of young people drinking and partying. Did get selfie at southern most point in US
    2
  7505. She's very happy with what he did. Love the look, love the sound and love Ray. I drove 6 hours to have him do the work❤
    2
  7506. No comment. 😂
    2
  7507. Making a comment. Unlike some, I will not assume that this makes us close pals, or that I'm welcome to just drop in on you unannounced and hang out for a few days.
    2
  7508. The Scorpions are the Abarth symbols. Taste is subjective, the neon is cool.
    2
  7509. I will unsubscribe from YouTube if they mess with my daily Ray dose
    2
  7510. I hate to be a party pooper but I can't help but thinking what would happen if a cop or someone with a ccw (which being Florida, probably is a large portion of the population) saw you wave that thing around without knowing what it is. At the least, you'd get a gun pointed at your face, at worse, you'd get shot. Althought the cool factor is through the roof on this one, as a LEO, I cringed when I saw this. Maybe for home shop but in a work environment, I don't know man. Maybe it's all in my head and I'm being a Nervous Nancy but I have concerns. Feel free to down vote me if you think my concerns have no merits.
    2
  7511. I like it because it is fun and creative, as long as your shop compadres and managers are good with it I don't see a problem with it. You gotta be able to have fun on your down time or things can become monotonous for sure. Very Florida man of you I would even say haha.
    2
  7512. Ohhhhhh Florida man, you never disappoint...
    2
  7513. Good day to you
    2
  7514. We enjoy watching your youtube videos, as well as the wife unit videos, but I hope you are not sacrificing your health or your family life to put videos out for people you don't know or work more than you should. Family is everything. I know you know that.
    2
  7515. Whrench gravaty
    2
  7516. 2nd
    2
  7517. That's a rod knock
    2
  7518. Those brakes looked tricky, glad you used two hands, needed 3. Good idea using camera to see up in dash, more fun to put it back in. You're doing great with your own business, I like the vids
    2
  7519. If I used side cutters to attach that top spring I would be needing a new spring well done sir
    2
  7520. The GM Chevy Trax is straight from South Korea. Not cool.
    2
  7521. Ray's right those where on to retain brake on the assm line I know worked for GM for 30 yrs
    2
  7522. Never seen a dragon either, but have a look at Pliosaur skull, Dorset England, about 2 months ago.. 6 ft 5 inches long.
    2
  7523. I like the uranium line of NGK spark plugs. They seem to last forever. Subscribed.
    2
  7524. Reeeeeeee. For no reason. Another great set of vids brother 👊🏼💪🏼
    2
  7525. Tack Weld The Drainplug on So It Dont LOOSEN UP
    2
  7526. That was understood, Ray. I was just being the retired chalkie that I am and correctiing your use of contaminates as a noun, rather than contaminants. Fell flat, didn't I!
    2
  7527. Nothing ticks me off more than someone who does this kind of ignorant stuff. The locktite goes on BEFORE the lube and you are using the wrong color gasket sealer. You are supposed to use the black gasket sealer, not the red. Rookie.
    2
  7528. If anyone truly has to watch to the end to know what you didn't do is hilarious. All the orange stuff for starters would have seeped off the sides and the plug had a built-in gasket setting where as the one you used did not. Just the simple obvious things pointed out. Ray you had me dying of laughter especially as a lube tech myself. I change oil daily so this brought some awesome relief from my day so I thank you sir
    2
  7529. I guess the inflation means April Fools is early this year.
    2
  7530. When you said "the cam gear fell out of the oil plug", I lost it!!! LOL
    2
  7531. LOL I was smiling the whole time, thanks for making my day better.
    2
  7532.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  haha, I would never. Really enjoy the content and the commentary. Makes me feel like there are more honest mechanics than crooks
    2
  7533. I was having one of my worst days in a while, then I watched this video, turns out this is actually one of my best days now! Laughter truly is the best medicine.
    2
  7534. You almost got me. I had to come to the comments to see if I was being trolled. 10/10.
    2
  7535. I was watching the oil filter change and I said WHAAAAT??? but after the silicone I realized you were under a bridge and then I was crying with laughter 😂😂😂
    2
  7536. You are trying to break the internet
    2
  7537. Have have watched every one of Rays videos, this is my favorite. Did forget the muffler bearings and knutter valve though.
    2
  7538. Watching from Canada! Love the freedom flag! Keep up the great work! Love your videos!
    2
  7539. I did a thermostatic valve delete on my 14 sierra and the temp sits around 120-140 with no issues.

  7543. Good morning!
    2
  7544. According to George Carlin....Cop didn't see it, I didn't do it.
    2
  7545. And that's why you ONLY use OEM parts..
    2
  7546. Vette's are definitely fun to drive, and they hold their value well. Nice video.
    2
  7547. " Don't come over here, I'll leave."...... Hahahahahahahahah. That made me crack the hell up. Funny shit Ray!! ;)
    2
  7548. As a chemical engineer, I have no idea what that guy was smoking.
    2
  7549. yeah Have to agree the metal in the filter was miniscule won't warrant an engine break down. I would start by fixing the Check engine self test and the squeaky tensioner
    2
  7550. Maybe the company will have you remove the valve covers so oil can spray all over the engine.
    2
  7551. THANK YOU FOR FINALLY USING THE FILTER CUTTER RIGHT!!!
    2
  7552. Fuck it's Monday again let's make the best of it 👍
    2
  7553. I'm sorry you're not feeling well, I hope things clear up soon!
    2
  7554. You're a great mechanic, Ray! I am a subscriber... but have a small complaint—actually, it's a pet peeve: Torque (units of measure). Torque in English units should be: Pound-feet (pound-inches, ounce-inches), in the same arrangement as metric torque... which you use correctly: Newton-meters. Why is this important? Because there's a difference between torque and work. Work has the same units of measure as torque, and theoretically the product of the two units will be the same—so who cares? What's the difference? Work (foot-pounds) requires movement, while torque (pounds-feet) often doesn't. This is why the unit of force should always be used first and the distance (radius of the circle) used second when describing torque— to differentiate it from work. So... who gives a damn? Any knowledgable technical person who secretly laughs at the dolt who improperly uses technical terms (engine-motor, 2-cycle and 4-cycle engines, etc). I certainly don't consider you to be one of these dolts, Ray—but please try to use the correct units when refering to torque. Rant over!
    2
  7555. You are so correct! Anyone that wants to debate you on this probably doesn’t have to deal with these issues on a regular basis.
    2
  7556.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  2022 Unobtainium. I have a customer that has been waiting for an evaporator coil for their A/C unit for months. No kidding I ordered it May 13th. Still waiting... Who knows, maybe I'll get the new coil, and get it installed before there's only 1 month of summer left?
    2
  7557. Loved this series, excellent work.
    2
  7558. Another great job Ray. I was wondering if you spotted the exhaust manifold bolt missing on the pass rear. I do know from working on the LS motors this is NOT uncommon they love to either snap off or just come out. Was it just missing or did it snap off. Have to admit I have also done the where is my socket when it was right in front of me also on the bolt i was working on LOL.
    2
  7559. New subscriber, watched the whole series in one go, great honest mechanic.
    2
  7560. thanks for these videos, they are very informative 👍
    2
  7561. Did you check the engine oil level?
    2
  7562. I enjoyed every part of this series.
    2
  7563. There's always one spark plug that is almost impossible to reach. Nowdays, when you get 100,000 miles out of them, that's less of a problem than 45 years ago, when you might get 20,000 miles out of a high quality set of plugs, but at least I learned to tolerate a high level of pain.
    2
  7564. Heh heh heh
    2
  7565. Hello Ray
    2
  7566. I've only seen a few of your videos, but you seem like an excellent mechanic and work very well with your customer and your management to make things right. Recently subscribed and looking forward to many more
    2
  7567. Software updates... yay... Remember when you did not have to update your car?
    2
  7568. yeah that DEF crap applies here in Australia as well Ray . Here it's called 'add blue' , or some such bullshit , not sure what the situation at the moment is , but we recently had a country wide shortage of synthetic piss , which caused all sorts of transport issues . The thing that gets me angered tho , it's made in chyna , Australia exports natural gas to the chyneze , who synthethize the urea with that gas we export to them , then they supply us back in Australia with the DEF , and they recently decided they didnt wanna sell us any , wasnt that nice of em , and to make things even worse , the one and only plant in Australia that made the urea was closed down earlier this year ....apparently the process creates too much polution to do it here
    2
  7569. *Scotty Kilmer has entered the chat*
    2
  7570. That seemed to easy for you, Need to work in the kitchen more burn you hands more then you don't feel the heat as bad, ive got no feeling in both lots of finger tips so it helps when the engine and parts are hot not being able to fell them
    2
  7571.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  btw glad you and your family are ok.. that covid is rough
    2
  7572. Many Reeeee, much butthurt!
    2
  7573. So he did present that to the customer. Plus that vehicle is probably riding around at its max capacity. Would you want it driving around you on the road? I wouldn't. I give your comment a thumbs down....tough guy.
    2
  7574. lol bro he doesn't do everything on camera, he mentioned he torqued them down so ur looking like a fool here. BUT i do find his work a little bit sloppy. that being said, overall he's doing a good job.
    2
  7575. Nope. No air got into the hydraulic lines. Had Ray pumped the brake pedal with the reservoir empty, that would be different.
    2
  7576. You realize that this video constitutes evidence that you suck on the job? I mean, suck fluids on the job. No, wait, that sounded worse.
    2
  7577. Okay Ray since watching your videos every time I tighten something down on my car in my home or in my shop I find myself saying out loud CLICK😲 shame on the mess!🤣👋
    2
  7578. the impact exaction is a torque tightening device different color for different torque...
    2
  7579. Hey Ray could you give us more detail in the type of sprays and greases that you use when doing the services. IE that purple coloured grease that you used to lubricatee the caliper slides when doing the rear brake pads is it a special type of greas just for that purpose
    2
  7580. There must be a troll with the same name . If you didn't notice the torque stick , get off the channel BEFORE you make uneducated comments . Go home and get off playing with your OWN torque stick !
    2
  7581. yes it is smart to use a pry bar on semi tires thank you for the compliment
    2
  7582. So like as a women who never worked on a car every watching you make me kinda want to get a junk car and fix it and see if I can do it
    2
  7583. You trick with the pry bar for tires works great I used similar method to re install my huge rear tatctor tires that weigh around 350 pounds filled with fluid
    2
  7584. Because were AMERICAN!
    2
  7585. I remind myself that the engine has no oil by placing the new filter on the dashboard while draining the old oil.
    2
  7586. Mud is always a sign that it may have been put through its paces a bit too hard 🤣🤣🤣
    2
  7587. folks, i was an auto mechanic for 32 years. i have seen many cars like this ranger come in on a hook. now what blows my mind on this one is why the hell the customer did not get this car into a shop long before this bearing exploded. this bearing had to be making a hell of a racket long before it got to this point!
    2
  7588. And their I was...just idling through a Wal~Mart parking lot ....and Shzaammm my truck broke down. What ever.....
    2
  7589. Nelson from the Bronx says you are smart guy you made it home you’re always thinking positive. God bless you and your family. You’re a cool crowd.
    2
  7590. You MacGyvered the crap out of that one Ray .any repair that gets you home is a good one .O and by the way you do remember you own a tow truck right ? 🤣👍
    2
  7591. Good morning from Higgins lake Michigan

  7592. 2nd late

  7594. goooood morning, ray
    2
  7595. Nice to see the Dirty Max receiving some much needed love.
    2
  7596. I have a set of offset Matco wrenches and they are sweet , they have saved my butt many times
    2
  7597. All difficult jobs will now be based on the Mustang header job!

  7598. Amen for Snap-On tools. worked on cars since I was 16. Taught for 26 years and retired. Love my Snap-Ons.
    2
  7599. Oh yay, you can do walnut blasting now
    2
  7600. Did valve cover gaskets on my 3MZ a few weeks ago, all 6 coil connectors and more crumbled as I breathed looking at them
    2
  7601. armpit oil is worst
    2
  7602. Ray don't know how to reach you other than via comments so I hope you get this. I'm surprised you haven't already thought of this and sincerely hope you will see this and run with it. You need to print up a label with a picture of a snake on it and the logo Rainman Ray's Genuine Snake Oil. Paste it onto one of your cans of additive and make a video promoting it while adding it to an engine. You'll drive the trolls crazy.
    2
  7603. I was thinking about buying a bumper sticker but one of them is $4 and the other is $30. Is that right or an error?
    2
  7604. Welcoming back!
    2
  7605. Glad you're back. We have missed your great sense of humor, and expertise.
    2
  7606. Pretty sure Ray is loosing sleep over this. NOT!
    2
  7607. Welcome back . So glad you are well . I went through the Rona too back in March of last year when it all started . Hope everyone else in your family is doing well also .
    2
  7608. the fun thing about them upper pan reseals is that the transmission needs to be removed to be able to get enough room to remove the pan. good luck!!
    2
  7609.  @stunessa1  Yes it is! I was like would he...oh! 🤣
    2
  7610. You gave the lifts Corona?
    2
  7611. Customer states; I have oil leaks I don’t want to pay to fix, so it’s you’re fault. #ourworld
    2
  7612. I'm going to say it for all to see. I've been a dick to you due to what I considered a piss poor attitude toward what people own and can afford. Recently, I've seen a change in that attitude and I wanted to let you know it's noticeable and appreciated. Not everybody can afford a new vehicle or to properly maintain one. I know it as I deal with it in the marine industry. People love boating but it is VERY expensive. With that said, congrats to you and I hope this is taken in the spirit that it is meant.
    2
  7613. I think i change this guys oil and i dont prefill even if they ask me to because the coustomer isnt always wright that went out years ago.
    2
  7614.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  glad to hear it
    2
  7615. Man i really have no idea if this comment is a joke or not

  7619. Say hi to wife unit for me and send a hug to her as well
    2
  7620. It's so cool I started watching your channel a few years back and you have come a long ways as a successful business man and Auto repair man nit to mention a YouTube friend ❤😊
    2
  7621. Don't forget the zip tie on the trans cable!!
    2
  7622. I dated a guy who would "rinse" his car oil (w/reg cheap oil) every oil change. He'd save the rinse oil and reuse it until it would slightly change color (6-8 times). I thought he was nuts, but apparently not. It was an old 70's Buick....
    2
  7623. You should have a separate channel called Rainman Ray's project jeep channel😅
    2
  7624. Thanks for the informative video. I have a number of vehicles that sit for periods of time and can use a solar alternative to up keeping the battery health. In the past I've used a battery tender but that requires an extension cord and power. This solar unit isn't cheap but compared to replacing batteries it is inexpensive. I've ordered one. Thanks!
    2
  7625. All we run is amsoil "Signature series" engine transmission/transfer case/ axle. Excellent products!! Great video Ray!!

  7633. You've change your upload times..
    2
  7634. So, the comment section is just a gasket adherence symposium haha 😄. Ray knows all the tricks guys, trust me! He's providing hilarious content, and getting things done, sometimes the hard way. You think that's an accident? Hehe he loves making us squirm occasionally! PS: wife has a 2022 RX350H, and I'll never turn a screw on that spaceship.

  7635. I had a 2003 GMC Yukon XL Denali last week in the bay, that has the LQ4 and the P0300. Turned out to be a plugged catalytic converter.

  7638. Is that your old bug bombed Camry out there still?

  7644. That Harbor Freight lead gave its life for this Taurus. Brave lead, indeed!!!! 🤣

  7645. I think I found this car in Fallout 76. Electrical is still good, survived the nuke.
    2
  7646. Thanks for sharing your video , as ever very interesting. One small issue.. If you were talking to me, I would have the good manners and curtesy to look in your direction . Not to keep my back to you . Am I to old to think Manners cost nothing, but mean everything! Yours, Old Englishman.
    2
  7647. that 2000 ext a cab is in great shape well worth fixing up .
    2
  7648.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  Chill Ray its not Friday afternoon 🤣 I was pulling your plonka. (English for having a joke). Hence the laughing face at the end.......! Still a HUGE FAIL if the customer takes the battery off to change? Feel me now? 👍🤣👍m-E-m

  7649. Does AvE know you stole Prudence the Safety Goat ? Where can I get one of those ?
    2
  7650. In beautiful condition for the mileage
    2
  7651. The Glow Plug control modules may not fail in the south where they are rarely commanded on but in the cold North they daily all the time because they are typical GM quality and failure prone like everything else this company makes...
    2
  7652. Bingo. Out of spec injectors can destroy a piston.
    2
  7653. 300k and the glow plugs just popped out, no worries ? has to be some dark juju going on. Where i am you have to soak them for days preferably soak trough 2-4 heat cycles before attempting to remove them. last time on my own vehicle i had to do all that AND i used a torque wrench to help limit the torque i put on them to prevent them breaking off in there and i used the back and forth limiting to the torque click and it took me a few days but i got them all out, no breaks. I was actually dang proud of myself :D
    2
  7654. 21:00 took way to long to heat up. that is called a gonner. no orange/white glow
    2
  7655. well in Florida hard to re-crete a "cold" start ... take to Michigan ....

  7657. 27.3% of all future videos should contain at least one wife unit cameo, audio only counts.

  7658.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  Never were there wiser words spoken
    2
  7659. Same with the auto shut off and restart. How much gas will you save?
    2
  7660. Lol Ray "I wont go much further" and continues to take it to bits 😂
    2
  7661. Hey Ray
    2
  7662. Ray,l see you got a new Ridgid impact. The car doctor got his scalpel back.👍
    2
  7663. We all learn't something today. Thank you Ray!

  7664. 🎶You gotta know when to hold em and know when to fold em 💯

  7666. I work on these cars, sounds like a bad alternator. also is the battery was replaced and the BMS was not reset it will fry the battery. also gearbox faults are usually caused by the secondary battery that is located under the dash on these older jags. im happy to see that instead of trying to acting like you know what your doing you are open and honest that you don't know these cars. Jaguars and Land Rovers are the most pain in the rear cars to work on.
    2
  7667. Jaguar Dealer: "Man I don't know what's going on. We better send it to Ray up the street"
    2
  7668. I fully agree with you. In the immortal words of Kenny Rogers: Know when to walk away, know when to run!
    2
  7669. You are one in a million!
    2
  7670. If you get an incomplete "how much" question. The answer can be 100.000 dollar, may be less if job is easy
    2
  7671. Good morning Raymond from Chicago! 🥶I see it's tidy up🤷 time BROTHER!😎🎅👍
    2
  7672. In EMT world, suction is aspiration !

  7673. Ray must have cases of that cleaner in the back
    2
  7674. how you get fired on your day off?
    2
  7675.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  I was gonna say if that was your truck I know you'd be pretty damn pissed! and by the way Greetings from Kissimmee

  7676. Honda master tech here.. A1 service is an oil change with Heinz A1 steak sauce additive.
    2
  7677. I think a1 is an engine swap 🤷‍♂️😂😂😂
    2
  7678. 45th! HOWDY! Happy Thanksgiving Ray and the wife unit! But never to forget the wonderful new employees! Roger in Pierre South Dakota.
    2
  7679. Welcoming back!
    2
  7680. Hopefully the transmission can be saved @Rainman Ray's Repairs
    2
  7681. LOL I love how he closed out the video like 2 or 3 times and kept getting distracted. I was waiting for Ray to just be like "okbye" and then end the video! 😂 Seriously though, another great video, Ray! Wishing you and your family a happy holiday season!
    2
  7682. Man it was so close to the end of the video I was about to loose my sh** over not getting to see the coolant being filled back up! Haha their is no closure to this video without the cooling system being filled 😂
    2
  7683. Its not bending, it's "reforming"
    2
  7684. Was it me, or did you merely have the brake pushrod upside down on the pedal?
    2
  7685.  @walttrotter535  Ditto, I also went back. That was my first thought too.
    2
  7686. Hurray field trip 👍
    2
  7687. He put a dab of dielectric grease into the 1/2" hose, then slid about 6" of the 3/8" into the 1/2" hose. Tight fit. Since it is a vacuum hose, the vacuum would tend to pull the hoses together rather than blow them apart. No hose clamp used or needed.
    2
  7688. At 25:20: “This displeases me”. Hilarious. I do enjoy these vids!
    2
  7689. I have some curved snap on wrenches that would work for that odd angle as well
    2
  7690. How about we rid the USA of ALL chinesium parts ????
    2
  7691. Second. Ray always first.
    2
  7692. New entertainment!
    2
  7693.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  perfect answer haha 🤣
    2
  7694. What the hell you gonna do with a whole bunch of SAE truck tools when you drive a late model GM!? 🤔
    2
  7695. Let’s go Ray!
    2
  7696. Who made your New tools. .???
    2
  7697. Second! 😜
    2
  7698. Yes!
    2
  7699. Dude ! U need to get rid of this car ! Pure lemon right there! I had that same cool lookin' piece shit and was dealing with the same nonsense. Thank God I got rid of it last month after 9 months of buying it,9 months of headache. Bro ,no need trying to fix it,it'll keep happening.
    2
  7700. I saw one car I liked online and asked them if I could take it to get it inspected. He emailed me back saying I would have to purchase it first, but that I would have 5 days to return it back. That was a red flag for me.
    2
  7701. It is a problem the world over, even here in the land down under, thank God for lemon laws, I wish your videos were longer and showed a conclusion. 👍
    2
  7702. I dont see the problem. Thats just a normal 3.6.
    2
  7703. That's where you hope the check hasn't cleared yet
    2
  7704. Buy here get F#$@d here..
    2
  7705. I watched several of your videos and I think you are a cool person and a very witty fellow. I think you are an excellent mechanic . keep making your videos.
    2
  7706.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  subbed. turning bells for part 2, good luck ❤️
    2
  7707. Can you say lemon law lol
    2
  7708. If you see a gravel lot, an office in a small shipping container, no garage, a whacky waving inflatable arm flailing tube man and a big banner proclaiming "Whatshisname used cars", DON'T BUY THERE!
    2
  7709. A lot of used car dealers clean the entire engine and spray some sort of lacquer all over it to temporarily seal it. Want my advice? Buy a used car with a dusty engine. That's good because it means it hasn't been tampered with. Just make sure there are no visible leaks or grim built up from leaks before and after a good road test. That's what I did. I ended up with a sweet 2011 Crown Victoria Police Interceptor with 107k miles for $4,700.
    2
  7710. Hey man what happen next did they fix it what u had to do To it ? Part 2
    2
  7711. Some loose, some win !!! This is a big one OMG. I am sad for her.
    2
  7712. Yes it reads and commands fictions such as evap test. Basically you can talk to all the modules on a given car and command fictions on and off for testing purposes. It really can help in the diagnosis process!
    2
  7713. LOL! I was watching this while my better half was getting ready... all I heard from her was, "did he just say it was off???"
    2
  7714. When you say bidirectional, what does that mean? That it reads as well as commands?
    2
  7715. Love long videos. Good work.
    2
  7716. That snap-on probably set you back a few thousand. Any reason you selected it over some of the others like autel?
    2
  7717. Just a quick Reeeee for the algorithm.
    2
  7718. I'll tell ya Ray, should I ever (I hope I don't) have to do this to my car I will have a better idea on how it is done - TANX
    2
  7719. 21:25 last time you put lifting force on the lower control arm you probably had that junk in the trunk to help balance that out.
    2
  7720. Having been raised by a grammar nazi, I would rather that you focus on doing the job right & not getting hurt. We can all translate in the background to whatever we think the words should be. And that's my Reeeeeeeeee for the day.
    2
  7721.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  here for the ratio ...🤣
    2
  7722. Thanks for the laugh, I sure needed that, keep up the great work
    2
  7723. They heat the pcv because it freezes in winter here in the north
    2
  7724. Ray’s Ridin’ Dirty. 😂👍🏼
    2
  7725. Forget those haters bro. Love watching your stuff! 😎🤙
    2
  7726. Keep doing what you do Ray, love the videos. I link your channel in the description of my videos. I also say thanks from my channel to yours.
    2
  7727. As near as I could follow, it was 2 16 quart flushes plus 1 refill after the pan drain. 36-38 quarts possibly??
    2
  7728. Ford 6.7: Turn key or press power button, do not start. Wait 30 seconds. Turn off, Repeat two more times. Start vehicle. Done.
    2
  7729. I have a 5yard bucket on my Cat 950M. It’s 5 yards heaped. That looks like 5 yards. Definitely doesn’t appear to be 6 yards. Camera might be throwing me off tho. You’re looking at about 15k pounds for 6 yards of that stone. Looks like about 12.5-13k pounds on that trailer. I handle material every day. But again… camera could be throwing me off. We must do the only sensible thing at this point. Now… you have to get it weighed. We have to know the truth. 😂
    2
  7730. Good day, Ray and hi to the guys
    2
  7731. That looks like #57 limestone in your dump trailer which is heavy stuff. The upgraded rear springs performed awesomely ( is that a real word? )
    2
  7732. Ray you are awesome brother
    2
  7733. Gotta set those standards higher now, your more liked then you think!!!

  7744. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
    2
  7745. fire the cannons!
    2
  7746. I know it's probably a little headache to you... But your troubleshooting vids are the best Mr. Rainman!
    2
  7747. 17:00 If you thought this was destroying the lawn, you should try driving this mini loader in the old version, which had an iron track, the damage is much greater Ray 😬.
    2
  7748. They are 17 ply, steel belted, steel toe, safety crocs.
    2
  7749. You could add some retractable legs to either side of the back end just for loading and unloading.
    2
  7750.  @bobbg9041  TORX screws are better during manufacturing, they don't strip out during fast installation with powered tools....
    2
  7751. Way too many Giggity's in the video to count.
    2
  7752. You do have the responsibility for the Wife Units livelihood and things #1,#2 and #3, and dog too.
    2
  7753. Welcoming back!
    2
  7754. Didn't expect to see Dave Gorman on one of Ray's videos. Also the Simpsons taught us that Smarch is the 13th month. These Range Rover Sports scare me, I prefer to stick to the older stuff like my '90 Discovery.
    2
  7755. In this episode Ray triggers the internet trolls with month talk.....
    2
  7756. 7th! HOWDY YALL! Good Tuesday morning Ray and the wife unit. And a HIPITY HOPITY to the new employees. Roger in Pierre South Dakota
    2
  7757. I instinctively waved at Lauren when I saw her😊 Powering down Bew!!
    2
  7758. All your videos are interesting. This video is one of the most interesting one. In a few ways. Thank you for sharing.
    2
  7759. Ray .. congratulations on going your own way and opting for self employment / your own shop .. it seems like just 5 minutes since you departed your old place of work .. It's also refreshing to see you are surviving in our cruel world .. and I'm sure wife unit is equally content with your decision .. Best wishes for the future just remember - do not grow your business to the point where you can't control what's going on - that would be bad!! 👍
    2
  7760. I for one, am not a fan of the doodle doos......
    2
  7761. i don't know what folks are bitchin' bout,, i kinda enjoy watching the shop come together.
    2
  7762. Have 4 kids myself... great to see them in a video mate
    2
  7763. You missed "Kid Gravity" Ray 😂
    2
  7764. Looks like all of the votes are in, the chandelier in the bathroom stays!
    2
  7765. Google VOICE number is a good thing... You can point it to one or more other numbers (shop phone number and a cell kind of thing)... and should you move to another area you can keep the same published number. Plus it handles voicemail and texts... Shame that there's folks out there that just make it their lifes mission to aggravate others trying to make an honest dollar.... Keep up the great work bud! Gotta frame your first dollar too now don't forget!!!
    2
  7766. Ray you have to paint that office at the moment its UK prison office grey! lol
    2
  7767. Looking really good Ray... that must feel incredible getting out on your own!
    2
  7768. Oh no!!!
    2
  7769. Another great Rainman Ray video, SWEET!
    2
  7770. Milwaukee is fine, they make a extended reach one like the snap on ones.
    2
  7771. GOOD MORNING, RAY!

  7772. 2nd
    2
  7773. Part 2
    2
  7774. I called it from the beginning. Something about the push button start on Chrysler products require perfect batteries. I'm not a fan when there's enough power to crank if you had a normal ignition but the computer says no and leaves you stuck somewhere. I've seen it too many times.
    2
  7775. I'm happy we have a talking Ray again
    2
  7776. Please don't quit the job. so enjoy it.
    2
  7777. Is this how you change the alternator on this vehicle 🤔😳🤣

  7782. That was epic Ray

  7786. only Troy could love that jeep
    2
  7787. Dang it Ray!!! You went full Castor Troy!! NEVER GO FULL CASTOR TROY!!!
    2
  7788. Just needs some ducks on the dash for the final touches. MINT 👌
    2
  7789. Lauren is a saint... 👼
    2
  7790. It would be sweet to watch you build up a project Jeep. Remember lockers before lights.
    2
  7791. Even Troy wouldn't drive that 😅
    2
  7792. The jury will love this video.
    2
  7793. Over under on how many times in her head she said "I married a fucking idiot" is right around 20 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
    2
  7794. I think in tomorrow's video, Ray is going to have a black eye.
    2
  7795. Too many times entire components are replaced when its just a small part. I'm still an old skool fixer.
    2
  7796. Now they take it back to the other guy that could not figure it out and tell them to watch your video.
    2
  7797. That opening was fun! I bet that took some time to put together.
    2
  7798. After a day if putting trim up in my kids room... i got a notification and its nice to watch such an awesome video. the movie thing at the begining is legit. and the content of the video is excellent!!!! Keep up the good work!
    2
  7799. 🤔 👍 that was interesting

  7804. Thank you SO MUCH for putting the link in a pinned comment. I watch on my TV and there's no way to access the links in the description... I can't comment from the TV either but I had to grab my tablet and let you know that the extra step is very much appreciated. Now I'm going to watch part 1... See you earlier 🤣 .
    2
  7805.  @kevtris  I noticed that too and also posted a comment about it. Hopefully he saw them before he gets it all buttoned up.
    2
  7806. Yeep

  7818. Notification SQUAD!!🔥🔥🔥
    2
  7819. Still in the 80’s here. Aloha.
    2
  7820. You're still putting in the labor for the job. So you should still charge for it.
    2
  7821. I can tell your in a southern state, it's mechanics up north cringe anytime we have to crack open a caliper bleeder, it's 50/50 if it's gonna snap off or actually crack loose, you cracked open those bleeders like you've never snapped one off before and a 12 point wrench to boot made me cringe, we can't own 12 point tools here. Lol
    2
  7822. ​ @RainmanRaysRepairs noooo at least wait till u fix my car 😂
    2
  7823. Loved this video Ray, nice to see wife unit also!!
    2
  7824. Reminds of the commercial (plug it in, Plug it in)
    2
  7825. When people complain that “you” (legitimately) charged 2 hours labour to perform a particular job, they rarely appreciate that they’re actually paying for the 20 years experience that means you CAN do the job in 2 hours….
    2
  7826. New Colorado is the same fuck story. Literally nothing just "comes out". Trans coming out? Need to pull left engine mount. Steering gear on 4wd? Need to pull inner tie rod. Crash sensor? Entire bumper assembly and shutters come off. Front cover need to come off or do timing chains? Pull front axle, gear and oil pan off first. Engineers are something else.....
    2
  7827. LMAO -- "Circle back Saki style."
    2
  7828. 21:10 I am laughing at your fortune...that was great.
    2
  7829. Reeeeeeee!!
    2
  7830. You assume correct. I did enjoy this video. 👍🏼👍🏼
    2
  7831. Please do not take offence, I have been turning wrenches for 40 years. I saw that coming out easily from New Jersey. I think you got it into your head that it would put up a fight and acted accordingly. Never freak yourself out, look and think.
    2
  7832. Customer gets billed based by the labor guide (alldata?) not the actual labor.
    2
  7833. Sweet another video.
    2
  7834. As the saying goes, i may not be a smart man, but I know somethings tucked up when I see it.
    2
  7835. 5 STAR VIDEO... Prefill that oil filter :) Use Amsoil only..
    2
  7836. On a hot cam you need to get idle down to about 750-800 in gear. Now you need to adjust idle mixture. If it doesn't respond, like kills it out you need to add more air. You can't adjust idle up as that get's into main circuit. You have to start drilling throttle plates to allow more air through. This is tedious as you remove carb, drill plates, with 1/16 drill, reinstall , see if it works. If it doesn't back off again and redrill next size larger until idle mixture screws respond. Not a huge fan of Edelbrock, would prefer a Holley

  7837. Man the pinned comment is hysterical. I’m getting them on my channel, some even nastier. The fact you pinned it makes Me think…lol. Nice work as usual! 2 things you need, stud sockets and a broken stud jig. When’s your birthday? lol :)
    2
  7838. "NUTS IN YOUR MOUTH"!!! HAHAHAHAHA Ray you so funny..
    2
  7839. Yesssss!!! Just got done watching the last video!💪💯
    2
  7840. Given you were tossing the coin about pulling the O2 sensor, you must be glad that it was obviously trashed when you pulled it.
    2
  7841. Good video.
    2
  7842. Did you just say fan gravity?😂 Digging the metal music Rainman!🤘
    2
  7843. Morning Ray!
    2
  7844. Hands up who hates EGR and what is has done for our engines? And Ray, be careful overtightening those bolts, the next guy might be you...
    2
  7845. Good timing got my morning coffee and your video to start the day
    2
  7846. Love the intro!
    2
  7847. Morning Ray
    2
  7848. Raining and 36 degrees here in Chicago..can I borrow some warm weather?✌️
    2
  7849. Wonder if Ray got his socket from the passenger side ... the one he pointed out in the previous video.
    2
  7850. 👍
    2
  7851. Was that a K Mart torque wrench?
    2
  7852. The cam belt material on the back of rear bank cam sprocket could indicate rear of the belt rubbing on something and the top idler sounds dry may be worn just enough for the belt deflect to the rear of the sprockets . Cam belts never play nice with water ,coolant or oil but they’re always reliable until they’re not😊(same difference).l have no doubt you’ll solve the problem without rambling of a armchair mechanic 👍.
    2
  7853. Ray, I recently found your channel and I have really enjoyed it. I’m no mechanic. I’m a preacher, but your videos are relaxing. And I appreciate the effort to keep them family friendly.
    2
  7854. When you said "Round 2" we both said "Fight"😂
    2
  7855. I was screaming at my poor phone THE CAPS, THE CAPS, THE CAPS 😂😂😂😂 Like you could hear me
    2
  7856. Just for clarification.....Is this a loooooong video or a short video? Or one video to hold us over for 3 days?
    2
  7857. Ok ! You sold me. Just ordered a cup.🎉
    2
  7858. Thank you for being an example to all of us showing how things can be handled without animosity. And it usually gets you further in life than getting angry or being a dick about it
    2
  7859. Sitting here screaming at the screen YOU FORGOT THE CAPS while you were putting the cover on

    2
  7865. Ray thank you for your generous heart. It’s times when you hear of cases like this that I thank god I live in Australia with our free health service. I know it’s not really free but being paid for by by taxes you don’t really notice it. I hope the young man pulls through ok and my prayers are with him and his family.

  7883. I am a retired telephone engineer and some of the equipment that we at use was awful like you say them that design it do not have to work with it.the was one mechanic that did not like doing clutches every time he was asked to change out a clutch he would hit his tum with a hammer and go of sick after the fourth time of doing this he asked his boss was he the only one in the garage that could change a clutch 😜😜🥱🥱
    2
  7884. "The gloves will tear, left and right." BRILLIANT!
    2
  7885. You mentioned in the last video that this was listed as a 4.5 hour job, how long did it actually take?
    2
  7886. Yeah I see something I don't like, and a sign of a bad mechanic, you didn't look at the hood, see the tags, and advise the consumer to throw the whole thing away... Lmao just joking ofcourse.
    2
  7887. 1,113th! Do what you have to do. It’s nobody’s business but your own. I’m glad you’re safe along with your family and the pets. Roger in Pierre South Dakota

  7891. my grandparents have a condo on that island so its great to be able to see it
    2
  7892. Thatll buff out
    2
  7893. What goes around comes around, we all need a hand sometimes. Even the most miserable grumpy mechanics are usually ready to drop everything to help a fellow out.
    2
  7894. I admire you Ray, as busy as you are you took time to help out another mechanic to remove that gas tank. Hats off to you sir!👍
    2
  7895. I don't mind when the videos in parts. I know it's a really good one then. 👍

  7896. 4 wheel steering

  7897. Toyota dies the bolts purple. To mark them as suspension bolt. To avoid mix up in assembly. God bless
    2
  7898. Thank you young man that's another good video I enjoy watching you work and you sharing your honest opinions about things, I'm like you I use to be one of the honest mechanics who tell things like they are, but after I got hurt I have to do minor stuff, thank you again young man very enjoyable good good video quality also

  7903. Core means charge a core charge and you get your money back when the old unit is returned.
    2
  7904. Okay Ray day number 3 lay it on me BROTHER 👍🍻
    2
  7905. I reckon you dropped at least one nut or bolt on nearly every part you removed or replaced over the three days. I think this is a record for you Ray. And not one "Gravity" was uttered! Your torch survived though - no drops while working on the Dodge.
    2
  7906. Good morning everyone
    2
  7907. Cabin filter change? How did the debris get into the fan? Debris in path to the fan inlet? Glad you are feeling better.
    2
  7908. 7am gang
    2
  7909. Sorry about missing the Challenger. There was some customer mods so maybe just as well. Maybe there is something more like a a cherry Z28 with a 396 LT1 that will come in someday that needs a front end rebuild which the customer doesn't want to pay for.... one can dream.
    2
  7910. Happy new year ray wife unit and kids

  7920. My girlfriend asked me the other day if I wanted her to keep my truck and take it to Walmart to get the oil changed cause its overdue. Cause I drive a truck over the road and don't have time. I told her if she ever takes mine to Walmart for that or anything else I will divorce her and we aren't even married yet

    2
  7923. Definately keep the click!!!! You crack me up as you work...my father was a mechanic...he would love it!!!
    2
  7924. Won't find too many mechanics that will go the extra much appreciated
    2
  7925. A LITTLE OCD ARE WE? But I do know what you mean. I know it’s not the same but, I have to have ALL the light switches when off all be pointed down. Especially the ones that have more than one switch operating a single light. And the sound on the television has to be on a even number. But that’s it. Enough babbling. Roger in Pierre South Dakota
    2
  7926. Just did the tensioner and belt recently too. It also had one of the valves leaking where you fill it with freon.
    2
  7927. The movie quote is from Troy
    2
  7928.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  Definitely weird. An IR750 shows a 1"-14 thread and an IR751 shows 7/8"-14. The ID of a 1"-14 thread (.922) is larger than 7/8" . There should physically be no way one could be switched with the other. The Matrix may be involved.
    2
  7929. Marines say it tastes better too. 🤣
    2
  7930. Sorry you had to use the old reach around on that line nut Ray. But hey at least you can relax knowing that Diesel fuel doesn't explode like regular old gasoline does. At least that's what they told us in the Army 😆
    2
  7931.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  Pure Sarcasm.😀😀😀

  7938. Reeeeeee!
    2
  7939. Thanks!
    2
  7940. On to a new job and new content next year, love all your videos, learn some bits and pieces too for when I work on my car 😉
    2
  7941. Well well well Raymond, seem like a situation we have here. Having the personality of a leader and not a follower is the key element. Get organized (trailer and shop at home) and take this time to be daddy. All of us out here in video land will give you support, so go with peace and we’ll see you down the road. ✌️🤠
    2
  7942. From one Ray to the other, keep your head high and do not let people screw you and steal your life energy. To be understood not thinking too much about what and who led to your new opportunity. Will not give you any satisfaction. Been there. Wish you all the best from good old Austria/Europe.
    2
  7943. This has ironically aged very well. It opened a new door of opportunity for Ray
    2
  7944. Ok ,..so I clicked because YT recommended it,..I don’t know why ,..this is the first vid I’ve ever seen from your vlog ,..I’m more than 1/2 way thru ,..I’m assuming you’re a MOTO head,..and your a repair man ,..that just got fired 😢😢,..u seem like a great guy,..but want do I know ,..this is my first time. So ,..I’ve been reading comments,..and ppl really like you! ,..and, they say,..”OPEN YOUR SHOP “ !! I don’t know,..like I said,”I’m only 1/2 into this video “ I will say ,..whom ever is talking has a VERY soothing voice,..like velvet! ,..any whoo ,..let’s finish this puppy up.
    2
  7945. Hi ,,I’m craig,..I seriously have no idea how this was recommended to me ,..but ,..I’m like hey! Let’s roll the dice ! I will say I did learn a lot of stuff! ,..so I’ll watch a few more of your videos before I subscribe.
    2
  7946. I did watch till the end. ❤
    2
  7947. Thanks!

  7952.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  I hear ya brother. Some people just can't let go of the ego. Their lose. I know good thing await you!
    2
  7953. Mass lay offs are coming. Lots of my buddies just lost their high paying jobs. Hope you can start your own mobile repair business or garage. Appreciate the videos.
    2
  7954. Ray this is the future talking, you will be opening your own shop everything will be OK
    2
  7955. Thanks! You kept me distracted on some roughs times for me, sry this is all i can afford atm. Time fix everything.
    2
  7956.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  Honestly we don't have enough context to make any judgements on your work life. From my perspective, it didn't look like you were wrong. But nobody on youtube actually knows the circumstances. Definitely relate to the issues with authority though. I've never had much use for often stupid people telling me what to do.
    2
  7957. Let it happen once: accident. Let it happen twice: coincidence. (You are here.) Let it happen thrice: patern. (Time to realize something has to change drastically.)
    2
  7958. Thanks!
    2
  7959. Good luck. Looking forward to see what the future holds.
    2
  7960. beware the scammer 'text me, etc" showing up in all recent replies
    2
  7961. You Blew It Ray..... You missed the golden opportunity to point at the "End of Transmission" while Stating "End of Transmission".....🤣
    2
  7962. an excellent video thank you Ray,,👍👍 BE AWARE GUYS THE SCAMMERS ARE BACK THIS TIME ITS WATSAPP,,,😡😤
    2
  7963. Like the National Deficit.
    2
  7964. I knew it! I'm only months older than you!! 🎉🎉🎉 84 baby!! Woot!!!
    2
  7965. Ray, there should be a button on that meter to 'zero out' the test lead resistance, Fluke calls it REL with a delta (triangle) next to it. You put the leads together and push the REL button and the meter compensates for the lead resistance automagically. If you press it twice it will give you a percent difference between two readings.
    2
  7966. Hey as usual in all my observations I admire your organization skills I understand the fact when you go to do a job and you got to hunt around and fight to find or get to it too it's extremely frustrating and it tends to break up my rhythm once I'm in the mode and have everything I need to do a job I like to just get the tools and do the job hey have a great day right and all good things will happen to good men you're a good guy have a good day
    2
  7967. The moment you panned and saw the chicken was fucking hilarious. Hope everything works out for you ray. But I think youll do great.
    2
  7968. 🙏🙏
    2
  7969. Oh Lord, you both make appropriate background noises. How do the wife units put up with you ? Loved the video go back in the winter
    2
  7970. 10000 points for the usage of "Shake Hands With Danger" still love that video.
    2
  7971. You had me fooled! I kept yelling "You forgot to pull the blue towels out of the intake!!!"
    2
  7972. Just got to keep you on your toes, it can't all be a simple fix. Like a not attached ground wire that made you take a whole dash back apart! lol
    2
  7973. Eric.O from SMA named his welder "the comment generator" 😂
    2
  7974. Outstanding my friend. My wife and just love a good oil change. 😆 We are addicted to your channel Keep em coming
    2
  7975. thats exactly how i fill my washer fluid - glad im doing ot expertly
    2
  7976. Hahaha love it - Ray has pulled a caper with the treachery and is winding up all the jobs worth with the washer fluid shenanigans - hope you are ready for the YouTube wrath.
    2
  7977. Thank you. Now I have a reference that I did the wiper fluid fill the correct way the next time my wife asks about the fluid on the floor! 😁
    2
  7978. I like how Eric O. mentioned you in his current video. Much respect.
    2
  7979. LETS GO!
    2
  7980. People be screaming electrolysis 😂😂 from the tap water. Ray chill
    2
  7981. Hello Ray! 🇬🇧
    2
  7982. 8:08 we all gonna pretend we didn't hear that? ..lol
    2
  7983. "I only had 79k on my odometer before you touched it! You broke something!!" lol
    2
  7984. Come on, exhaust system change. I hope Ray takes it out on the road for us.
    2
  7985. ​ @RainmanRaysRepairs yet😊
    2
  7986. Good afternoon Ray hope you and your family are doing well today it's Halloween666 BROTHER 🧛‍♂️🧟‍♂️🤫
    2
  7987. Nothing routine about German autos. Nothing cheap
    2
  7988. Perhaps if you didn’t edit your videos and show the full job in exquisite detail then customers wouldn’t have unrealistic expectations of the time it takes to complete a job?😉
    2
  7989. Ask her how it feels to be a VIP ???????????? 🙃
    2
  7990.  KevTech 1  I see thank you. Well, I only drove like 50miles before realizing it was overfilled so I guess I will have to hope no serious damage was done. It is crazy how some people are 25 years experienced mechanics and do this kind of stuff.
    2
  7991. Filming is a good way to document any service work
    2
  7992. Too full and you risk the pistons hitting oil on the down-stroke (at least as told to me by a very old motor tech many years ago).
    2
  7993. UPDATE: When the customer was informed of the oil pan leak she decided to leave the car to be properly repaired and she decided to phone her friend for a ride. Said she was happy to call back in a couple of days to collect it. This post has not been checked for factual content.
    2
  7994. Why would you even get an oil change if you’re in a “rush”
    2
  7995. love your work, honest, calm and non shouty, like you say, you comuncate better by not screaming across the shop
    2
  7996. CAT mechanic here... I was yelling at the TV haha.
    2
  7997. You quit a 9 to 5 to work for yourself 24/7 😅
    2
  7998. Hackey sack! You're obviously ripping off the owner of those rotors that no doubt go to a Honda Fit and only cost $3.67 to replace with Genuine Honda Factory Parts directly from Japan!!!
    2
  7999. No Copper anti seize on the O2 sensor threads?😳 Often they come with anti seize but if not, regardless, definitely wouldn't hurt to put some on. Probably doesn't matter as the O2 sensor will most likely outlast the engine.😂

G’day Ray and greetings from Tasmania Australia 🇦🇺 the new shop looks good and it’s nice to see your wife, that’s a beautiful car they are not sold down here except for mustangs the bigger utes.

  8007. Don't tell them they are overloading the vans thereby causing twice the number of suspension rebuilds....good life rule; Determine the size you need, then go at least one size up....except with condoms, that is the inverse.
    2
  8008. Congrats on getting the fleet contract!
    2
  8009. I’m going through withdrawals. We never see you use brake clean and I’m sad. Please use more and add a cool sound.
    2
  8010. Somebody realizes the value of those vans and that it costs less to keep them repaired than to replace them.
    2
  8011. Fleet business is the BOMB! The trucks are mostly the same! I like it.
    2
  8012. New torque spec Hand pounds

  8020. That's no fence. That's the bed from that truck that "just" needed a clutch lol

  8021. In Australia we have term called 'mateship'. In part it's the biblical 'do unto others as you would have them do unto you'. It's the exact opposite of 'every man for himself'. Rainman Ray, as an Aussie I would gladly call you a 'mate'. Here's a video with a similar theme - a load of bricks left on the road. Mateship in action, several drivers stopping to help clear the lane. It's just 1m36s long. "Aussie Drivers Get Together To Clear The Road" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=naqAwbvGPHI

  8022. You get those last two bolts on the rear of the body brace? 🧐
    2
  8023. I called AirExpertsToday because my AC is out but they said they can't show up until tomorrow. Something about their van being out of commission.
    2
  8024. Hell yeah, dropping Apollo 13 movie references, nice! “I think old Swigert gave me the clap..."
    2
  8025. Boy those part suppliers are almost useless
    2
  8026. Re: fuel tank vent and parts back order — talk to the customer about strategy — order the new parts, clean up the old parts and old filter and reinstall them in the meantime
    2
  8027. The ESiM switch is a common failure

  8028. Harsh vibration while braking most of the time is Run out in the rotors @Rainman Ray's Repairs

  8067.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  actually I watch you on several platforms with different login names (long story). One of them is Oxcart. I try to catch everyone of your videos. I’m an old gear head and enjoy watching someone who can still wrench like a pro. Pretty soon Scotty Kilmer will be watching you for advice! I definitely plan on being around when you hit a million subs. Watch out for those wobbly bits.
    2
  8068. Side note: when I subbed to you, you had less that 1k subs (low 100's iirc). Keep on truckin 👌

  8069. Good morning!!!

  8071. I replace schraders yearly on what HVAC i do. Usually the high side is most times the culprit. Even on the discharge lines are worse due to the heat from the compressor. One of thing I would have done differently.. purged with nitrogen. Or tested with nitrogen when done. Pump up to 150psi. Wait 10min and see if it dropped. NEVER EVER USE A DYE. Its a smack in the face for the next guy. Also a day can potentially clogged an orifice. I know your using a machine to vacuum and charge. But ME I use a micrometer to pull and sit below 500microns. For 134 and newer refrigerants its a POE (Synthetic oil) and does not play well with ANY moisture. Sorry Ray im just very particular when it comes to refrigeration. Cars to commercial. Stay safe and be well. Have a great rest of the day.

  8082. Customers and service writers sometimes lack the vocabulary to properly describe conditions (actual quotes from a shop I use to service): When I mash on the gas, she don't say nothing!

  8106. 3:48 Having multiples of the same tool is what I like to think of it as having multiple AvE. of progression, in other words, having a progressive work flow. It's almost musical when there's no interuption to the 'flow'. 👍

  8135. I absolutely love the part about people replacing Parts because of codes. Whether it's mechanics part stores or individuals. That is still so very wrong! And I especially laugh and cackle every time I see a commercial about how mechanics don't want you to see this as they say. And then they'll advertise a product that pulls codes. All I can say to that is I'll see you when you realize you blew a lot of useless money. I had one just like you described come from another shop and it had the same code as before they replace the mass air flow sensor. And it turned out that the intercooler tube going to the throttle body had slipped free all the boost pressure was escaping. Which in turn means the customer wound up wasting money on a part that didn't need to be replaced. Same scenario occurred when somebody brought in a Ford 500 that had burned out catalytic converters ran rough and periodically would stall. Well they replaced all those parts that did need to be replaced they failed to identify the root cause. The customer replaced the fuel rail pressure sensor and that didn't solve the issue. In the end it turned out to be an internally short to ground AC transducer. 😂
    2
  8136. If I remember correctly Ford Boss Me used Marvel Mystery Oil to clean the varnish off the engine off internals.

  8137. Irregardless? Really? I expect better grammar from you Ray 😆
    2
  8138. I’m a back yard shop and I appreciate the in-depth level you took to keep a customer. I know time is money for a shop with over heads and staff blah blah, but I would of loved to have seen you wipe off the plastic valve cover, would of taken 30s haha. Good vid enjoy.

  8149. Good problem solving logic. Learn a lot. Mostly one needs a lot of stuff to do repairs at home. Problem is finding truly qualified and honest shops a d people like you to do the work. Hope next part has some phone action.

  8150. I am glad and thankful that you I wait until the repair is complete to upload each video. So that Even though the repair is in limbo when the video is recorded. We get to watch the repair from start to finish.

  8159. I'm not sure why Youtube insisted I see this video, but the title of the video had me curious. I was amused by this franken-car. A dumpster fire on wheels... Oh and consider me subscribed.

  8160. I love that Forrest Gump reference with the rain in the end🤣

  8161. Customer forgot to tell you it was in the ocean for a year.! Lol. Hood moss tells it all, it been sitting in a damp dark area

  8162. Do torque limiting extension sockets even work with electric impact guns with their higher beat per minute rate?
    2
  8163. Keep making pic also to in case of claims of customers how you found missing lug nuts and self lubricating engine parts ray
    2
  8164. Wait, do these people also think the surgical rooms in hospitals should be decked out with harbor freight equivalent equipment?
    2
  8165. I think that if Ray had a successful Tow Truck service, they would be all blinged out with LED's, polished Alcoa's and wild pinstripes.
    2
  8166. Well said.
    2
  8167. If I lived in Florida, I would absolutely trust you to work on my car.
    2
  8168. One thing about the internet we can all count on. Someone will think we are doing it wrong, no matter what. I’ve been doing this for 40 years and I’ve only recently realized I can survive just fine without tool debt.
    2
  8169. Excellent video! When I was working at the shop, whenever the Snap-On truck arrived, we'd (myself included) would file out like zombies just to see what the guy was selling. Sometimes he'd have a "deal" on some open end or box end wrenches, which I bought a few of..but overall, none of us purchased much from that truck, for obvious reasons. I might add, older Craftsman tools from the 70s were just as good as Snap-On, I have a large set, and they cost a fraction of what Snap-On was going for during that time!
    2
  8170. Ray honestly its no ones business. This is so old with the viewers always pointing things oout. I for one know you are not trying to sell me anything. You are stating if I were to likenthe tool you are using you explain how we can purchase it from another place besides snap-on. Those who point that crao out are trying to get you to feel bad because they wish they had a channel as popular as yours. Or they want tools like that but can't afford even the cheap ones. As for me yeah hell yeah I am struggling like most everyone. I love how you explain the tool and where I can get it if I really want it. Keep the awesome videos coming and most importantly treat yourself to what you want. No to the Karen's and the male Karen's I am not giving him permission to do for himself. Just saying I have no issues
    2
  8171. I walked away from a technician career because of the cost of tools. At the time the only way to get started was to owe the snap-on guy. Craftman was the only quality set not from the truck but specialized tools were truck only. I think videos like these would have helped me back then, thank you for mentoring the noobs virtually.
    2
  8172. personally this what i think, professionals that need to rely on their tools daily should buy the name brand tools mostly for the 1 for 1 swaps they come with when the tool is damaged or worn out, but for the average person any set of tools is good enough because you will never reach a point where you wear out the tool.
    2
  8173. People read into things way to much. Hahaha
    2
  8174. I have a device from snap on it charges your phone up twice. To my surprise it was made in China was i surprised no I wasnt.
    2
  8175. Great advice. Family first, tools with a return on investment. Wait to enjoy, so you can work for you
    2
  8176. Bought a set of Snap On wrenches over 40 years ago and still have most of them! At $10 a week I have 2 more years left and they will be mine!! LOL
    2
  8177. I'm just a hobbyist mechanic but i would consider that two separate issues and would also have accepted it as a customer. Just an unlucky coincidence 🙂

  8189. That wouldn’t be Tropicana. That would be CSX switching Tropicana. However, the railroads generally try to switch their customers inbound and outbound loads on a schedule. Especially perishable products that are time sensitive. Tropicana is very important to CSX. They provide enough business to CSX to run an entire Tropicana train.

  8190. Excellent video

  8191. I had to laugh 😂 when the safety goggles appeared. Good install but a bit beyond a DIY replacement. 😁

  8192. Did you notice they put the battery under the fuel wow someone wasn't thinking very safely but that doesn't surprise me it's cat.

  8193. Run BG EPR pre oil Svc next time Ray and then BG DOC with new oil for maximum efficiency…I have the volume sizes on the BG SLED for this equipment ready to go.
    2
  8194. THE VERY 1ST LITTLE TRACTOR/ MACHINE THAT WAS CREATED WAS SIMILAR BY DESIGN AND CALLED A """""BOB""""" CAT !!! BECAUSE BOB CAT CORP/ CO. BUILT THOSE VERY 1ST LITTLE TRACTORS /MACHINES . WHICH ARE SIMILAR TO A """"""""HIGHLIFT""""""""" WHICH CAN DIG AND LOAD LOSE MATERIAL OR A LITTLE DIGGING ALSO!!!!! BOB CAT MACHINES WERE NATION WIDE !!!! AS TIME WENT ON A VARIETY OF ATTACHMENTS BECAME AVAILABLE AS ENGINEERS BECAME MORE COHERENT !!!! THERE ARE SEVERAL CO'S NOW WHICH BUILD THESE LITTLE MACHINES, LIKE CASE, TOYOTA, NEW HOLLAND, JOHN DEERE ??? MAHENDRA??? SP ??? ECT. THESE LITTLE TRACTORS WERE CALLED ALSO SKIDSTEERS, BECAUSE THEY WEREN'T REALLY DESIGNED TO HAVE ALOT OF """"""""ASS""""""" SIMILAR TO A BULL DOZER THESE THINGS WERE MORE MADE TO SCOOP, PUSH AND PILE LOOSE MATERIAL AND OR SPREAD / DRAG IT AROUND!!!!! ALOT OF THE TIME THESE MACHINES WERE WORKING OFF A SMOOTH HARDER SURFACE LIKE BLACK TOP, OR CONCRETE OR EVEN JUST HARDER SMOOTHER GROUND !!! BOB CATS / SKIDSTEERS ARE NOT REALLY MADE FOR DOING ANY SERIOUS DIGGING, OR EARTHMOVING. THOSE JOBS ARE LEFT UP TO THE """""REAL""""" TRACTORS BULL DOZERS, HIGHLIFTS, SCRAPERS ECT. EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE BEEN MAKING THESE LITTLE BOB CATS / SKIDSTEERS BIGGER AND BIGGER !!!!! BUT THEY DO HAVE THEIR PURPOSE AND ARE VERY HANDY !!!!! THE RIGHT TOOL FOR THE RIGHT JOB !!!! (EVERYTHING IS A HAMMER ).😊❤🤗🤗🤗😎😎😎🤯

  8195. Sir you are a true honest person. Hard to find a great mechanic that isn't a yes man for the shop ( here are parts replace them and shut up) Keep up the great work you do!
    2
  8196. Honesty wins. Especially during this time, might be someone’s rent or food money you just saved !
    2
  8197. Glad to see we have some great mechanics out there still.
    2
  8198. Brother you are funny. My wife and I keep laughing. Man it looked like someone did set the preload on that bearing nut. I remember the Firestone / Ford issue. My mom worked for Hertz Rent a Car then and it was a big to do. It was said that Firestone paid Ford to bite the bullet and take the blame for most of it. Great content tho brother.
    2
  8199. Sped up phone ring and your "Doo-Dee-Doo-Dee-Doo" created a coffee spit.
    2
  8200. Ray do yourself a favor and use the appropriate seal driver tool for the large axle seal in the back of the spindle housing (between the hub bearing and the u-joint) otherwise they leak vacuum and kill the electric vacuum pump used for the On-demand 4WD (assuming a Diesel 6.7L). Its next to impossible to get that large 5" hub seal in without bending it up a bit without the tool. Some of us use a pce of 5"- 6" dia NPT pipe. Vacuum is always supplied on to the hub area whether 4WD is selected or not on the dash. Otherwise you'll have a comeback the next time the owner tries to use his On-demand 4WD and the hubs wont lock. Easiest way to troubleshoot the vacuum pump failure is the truck will only have defrost mode on the climate control as it wont have the vacuum to change the blend doors to any other modes. Good Luck from the Back Yard Canuck!!!!
    2
  8201. I was watching you bash that ball joint and the next thing I knew I seeing black!!!😂😂😂
    2
  8202. At first I thought you were on the wrong track, because the steering was binding up even though the hubs were disengaged. But then I realized that even if the axles weren't rotating, that frozen U-joint still had to bend as the wheel moved from side to side. The extreme lift and the two inch wheel spacer probably cause suspension angles that are out of spec, which might contribute to the problem as well.
    2
  8203. G'day Ray and G'day to the notification squad!
    2
  8204. The project really started when you started to clean the cup holders and then you noticed the headliner then here we are...lol. Great content as always!
    2
  8205. My wife and I actually liked the video. We found it kinda interesting and different. But at the time time we watch every video you put out. My wife thinks you're hilarious with your wabbley bits and fingies. And I like learning things I didn't know about some cars. So keep making all kinds of videos. The more diverse, the better.
    2
  8206. Morning
    2
  8207. LOL Ray gives some "Arm pumping action" for remembering to turn off the light. Truly us men are simple at heart.

  8208. Does that pan need a gasket?🤔 LOL ok never mind, made my comment like 5 seconds before he said it was on the pan lol.

    2
  8218.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  it’s common in the power-strokes. The power balance test is also a good way to see weak contributing cylinders. Just something to keep in mind. Mine wouldn’t throw a check engine light but I had two bad injectors when the engine was warm. It wasn’t a full on dead cylinder but more of a partial misfire causing a weak cylinder that really only could be felt under high load and lock up. Almost felt like a tire slightly out of balance.
    2
  8219. The diesel could have a bad injector or like you said torque converter issue. Sometimes on the diesels when you have a cylinder contribution issue from a cylinder you won’t really feel it until your in OD with torque converter locked and you lay into the boost loading that engine down. Then you can feel it.
    2
  8220. I had vibration in a tundra. It would come and go at random. Changed rear diff fluid and metal everywhere. Pulled the 3rd member and the cross pin for spider gears had came loose. The lock pin sheared and luckly Toyota 3rd members require the ring gear to be removed before the cross pin can come all the way out. The spider gears had seized and spun that cross pin which bounced between the ring gear and pinion for probably 3 months. Somehow it was aligned correctly when i removed the 3rd member like nothing was wrong. It wore at the spider gears and cross pin a couple thousands. Chipped the ring gear slightly on 1 tooth edge. The contact pattern was fine, i threw a locker in it 2000 miles ago, axle seals, axle bearings, and put it back together. Its mine, it has 400,000 miles and wont give up. So far anyway

  8222. The only thing I used a torque wrench on were main caps, rod caps and head bolts.
    2
  8223. That was one deformed lateral arm bush hole. This and the diff and other suspension components show the impact clearly had a lot of energy. The other car surly must have been a right-off.

  8224. You didn't get me with the oil joke because sometimes you do things off camera.

  8225. I enjoyed this. When I bought my 06 dirty max . I could believe the power . I tow everyday. Went to do oil change at 5000 miles. Rears tires were done. Ok next set lasted 30,000 mile. Now i get over 60,000 mile. There was a problem with drivers foot lol

  8233. Apparently the engine computer locks out the A/C system when it senses a problem with the cooling system. As such replacing the thermostat fixed the cooling system problem, which in turn allowed the engine computer to make the A/C start working again.

  8246. Hi Ray don't forget to top up the brake fluid after you've let so much out
    2
  8247. I actually never seen a patch-plug before, i know of the plug itself so thanks for this :)

  8248. You do realise that there is now an army of mechanics worldwide that say 'click' whenever they tighten something now? Drives my mate crazy here in UK :)

  8252.  @chrispop99  I wouldn't know lol. I mean 12 ft lbs of torque on the plug im sorry but you can tell using a wrench after doing it awhile
    2
  8253. I can definitely tell they are cheap with Ironman tires on there lmao

  8254. Let haters hate its what they do can't please everyone seen too many of your videos your very professional glad you take your job seriously.

  8255. An honest mechanic? You can work on my truck any time maang.

  8256. Nah bro....I been an auto tech for 21 years..... like he said gloves protect both ways...... they are probably removing grime outta that car.... trust me... after you grab a few sticks steering wheels you'll prefer gloves coz y'all be some nasty ppl.... I've seen some very ugly things in customers cars inside and out.... just the other day I almost died coz the air filter looked like it's alive....literally covered in hair....I bout did a backflip trying to get away..... and cabin air filters you could grow corn in lol.....judging by all your remarks your the type of customer that'll never be satisfied and always cause problems.... to be honest I can't stand ppl like that and I'll turn you away in a hurry if you come at me like that..... this guy is obviously a tech and knows what he's doing so you need to take your lil Karen comments somewhere else
    2
  8257. the way people take care of thier cars.... id rather not touch someone elses steering wheel, etc.. without gloves lol.....

  8258. Poor guy... didn't get all his fries with his happy meal... Sharp as a bowling ball that one is... Ray, you could work on my stuff anytime.

  8265. You are a good man, Ray.

  8266. I thought it was a play on Eric O but I find Torque Test acceptable humor as well! I guess you could also say the AC was not giving the beans

  8275. Search and find the vent hose for the PTU... It is much easier and more accurate (no spillage) to use the vent to fill... I did the transmission 3X fill and flush since I didn't have your fancy fill machine... I need to do the rear differential this Spring... Nice videos... Very helpful...

  8276. Furr Missiles. lol. That was Absolutly epic!

  8281.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  Gotcha. Really enjoy your video.

  8282. It’s so awesome watching Rainman after watching so many crappy, low quality channels. Love “RRR”
    2
  8283. Of course I can detect the smell, I'm watching YouTube on my smellavision.
    2
  8284. Lol, brain fart @3:12 spit it out Ray🤣 and I agree with the masses, half the fun of your videos is your dialogue 👊
    2
  8285. I have used Mobil 1 for at least 25 years or more & had several oil pans off & Iam happy with it.. Only us the Extended Performance Mobil. Before that I used Valvoline for 30 years but that was too long ago to compare to today's oils.
    2
  8286. if you shake it more than twice .... your playing with it .. stop it lol
    2
  8287. Well maintained except for that Dayco timing belt. Dayco stuff is garbage and I'd never use it on a Honda timing belt for sure. Also, sell them regular trans fluid changes, and a VCM defeat device (to stop cylinder deactivation) and that van will last a long time. It's a good idea on any of these VCM Honda engines to pull the rear plugs and have a look for oil fouling.
    2
  8288. He mentioned it in a video that most manufacturers don’t recommend pre-filling the filter, because otherwise there could be contaminants introduced into the engine and filter, and no engine has ever been harmed without prefilling the filter, it’ll still fill up within maybe a second if not less from starting the engine

  8296. Hi ray. I'v been watching your videos before you moved to your own workshop. I think you worked with the white bmw e36 window mechanism .... fun times 😆👍 Just wanted to say your amazing and i love your content since starting your business. I hope you know that your my main reason for buying the battery wrench and omg 😲 game changer 🙌 also who knew the reason my rocker cover gaskets always leaked was because i used the thats tight enough regime 😆👌 Anyway thanks 😊 ❤️👍
    2
  8297. i think your labor hours out shine the cost of the vehicle. this is clearly a "i must not be defeated" moment.
    2
  8298. Ray glad you got that 33 1/3 ......120 degrees thing right....I haven't slept in days over that....😂🤣....and it seems you triggered the boogered thread crew on this 1.....slight thread REEEEEEEEEEE was detected

  8301. Hey Ray, just food for thought..an accumulator is always on the low side (suction side) of the system and the drier is on the high side of the system, also if the system has an expansion block it will have a drier and if it has an orfice tube in the liquid line it will have an accumulator.
    2
  8302. Only problem with the new shop is the music. I miss Four Non Blondes every episode. 😁😁
    2
  8303. Have you got a name for the shop yet Ray?
    2
  8304. Absolutely loving the new content, Ray! It is a pleasure to go alongside you and watch as you start up your new business and get things rolling. So glad for you and can't wait to watch you expand.
    2
  8305. I have watched a few of your vids and they are entertaining but you really do need to learn to weld
    2
  8306. Love the content u make it entertaining

  8307. Eric The Car Guy welded ball joint lol

  8308. All ways nice to know that there are daily uploaded from you. Best way to end the day watching you work ☺

  8309.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  Oh, just saw this, carry on ;)

  8310. I'd be afraid to do any work on that truck, for fear that one of the many problems would suddenly become mine just because it sat in my bay. OR, that it causes a wreck, and "you let it leave your shop that way." Nope. Just nope.
    2
  8311. That is not a truck, that’s a landfill on wheels 👌🏻
    2
  8312. RAY! It is called "GRUST" grease & rust (GRUST) found internationally!

  8313. Flare wrenches for the steering gear box fluid lines, at least for initial loosening and final tightening; I KNOW you have those !!!
    2
  8314. Hello

  8315. After the can was running on empty at 23:37 LOL Ray threw the can LOL
    2
  8316. Thanks for the video Ray keep up the great work. Take care of yourself and family 💕💕👍.
    2
  8317. Ray really needs something that can hold his camera so he can operate with two hands. Perhaps a body cam? Or maybe something that goes up on his head so we can get a view as he sees things. I don't know what it would be so that he doesn't feel dumb when wearing it, but it should be something so he perform his duties without needing to hold the camera. Thoughts everyone?
    2
  8318. Part.3 I'm getting the popcorn ready

  8319. 13:40 The disc pads are orange so you know they're good. 😁 Thanks Ray. That's the first Actuator Brake I have ever seen and had it explained to me how they work. Interesting and much appreciated. 👍
    2
  8320. Mmm, maintenance! Sparkle plugs, stoppy-puffs, air consniffling, and a spinny-glide for next time! Been using that particular blue-goo brake lube on personal and customer vehicles for 15+ years now, never had an issue with it eating the rubber. I HAVE had NGLI #2 wheel bearing grease eat brake rubber, though! Good job on the order of operations on the brakes! It's super-important in bilateral service procedures to always work on the passenger side first, just in case you need to experience on-the-job learning, the apprentice evidence is further from the driver. :D "Where's the hole" and "inverted rawr." Yup, it's a Saturday! Or at least it was when I started writing this... Onward to the sleeping pod!

  8321. My bad, did not realize you were going to flush the coolant. Please ignoe my previous comment on last video.

  8324. Now that you are going to be an independent businessman you can deduct all your expenses for business, including everything you spend on this trip, from the gas to get to the airport, the long-term parking, the rental car, get receipts for it all and we taxpayers will gladly pick up the tab for you job creators. Food and beverages too, as long as you discuss the trade show or your new business at some point during the eating and drinking. Maybe ask the bartender if they want to invest in a repair shop in Florida, of course they will say no, but that makes the tab a business expense. 😉
    2
  8325. We are buying one of the welding robots at work. We cannot hire any good welders and the ones we have are nearing retirement. It's the only option.
    2
  8326. I was let down when you failed to tell us the mileage on your rental car. 😫 Just messing with you haha enjoy your time and look forward to seeing your new adventures ahead!
    2
  8327. Those filter wrenches are kinda cool but with all the different size filters out there you’d need a bunch of them to fit them all if you were a mechanic. At $40.00 to $100.00 dollars each, that’s a lot of money just to change oil in a car or truck You need something more universal, like a strap wrench with a place you can put a 3/8 inch ratchet or an extension into. With that you could keep it small in size and still be able to use a ratchet for leverage.
    2
  8328. Never replace "the Ray" welding a nut on the end of a broken stud. Improvisation not in a robots programming.

  8343. One of your best videos I’ve seen! The panic when that valve retainer came off was relatable! I had a F150 with that engine and that’s why I got rid of it. Loved the truck but knowing of that engine problem was worrying
    2
  8344. I saw a video on Car Wizard's channel earlier today that listed this engine as engines to avoid at all costs, because of this very issue. It's a serious design flaw.

  8360. Nice to see many of you typing "fob" rather than FOB -- because it's a word, after all, not an acronym. It's from the "old days" before people wore watches on their wrists. The fob was a small pocket into which the watch was placed. It comes from the German word fuppe, meaning a small pocket.

  8361. Water leaks seem to be a common theme on GM trucks. Even on the older GMT800's the high brake light and the pressure vents on the back of the cab the seals get old and start leaking.

  8416. Happy new yr man! Been subscribe to your channel since it was 100k i see that you're in 225k now, keep it up man. I learn a lot from your vid.
    2
  8417. Hi
    2
  8418. Hi ray
    2
  8419. Never quick enough to make it first anymore but I’ll still be around for 1 MILLION SUBS!
    2
  8420. YESSSS FIRST
    2
  8421. Nice one Ray, looking forward to seeing you complete these works. 😁
    2
  8422. Door "Striker" Good shit per usual Ray.
    2
  8423. That was a heck of a lot easier than the oil pan you did on that Silverado. Thanks for the video! ...and that is the smallest oil pan that I have ever seen! Did you say 9 quarts?!!
    2
  8424. Re-using crush washers hurts my soul 🤣🤣🤣
    2
  8425. You would have had me with the angry pliers on the oil filter, but you already said you did the last oil change. I liked the 300 ft lbs of torque comment. Merry Christmas.
    2
  8426. Liked the "false" application of the ANGRY pliers on the oil cap!🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍
    2
  8427. oh, I forgot to tell you what type of car. It is a 2014 Hyundai accent, and the only other repair that had to be done on it (so far) has been the gear shift illuminator went out. I had to replace that as well.
    2
  8428. window regulators are the bane of my existence, doesn't matter if its powered or manual
    2
  8429. The grinding noise you heard from engine compartment is normal in FiatChrysler vehicles. The build quality is legendary terrible.
    2
  8430. He didn't show the oil change!!! How do we know he did it??? REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
    2
  8431. You cut the Zip Tie with Flush Cutters 🥰
    2
  8432. Good morning everyone. Hope y'all have as decent a day as possible!
    2
  8433. 👍
    2
  8434. I switched to ethanol free and my engine runs smoother. I also gained 2mpg so far, up to 33.5 on my 2015 Honda Civic.
    2
  8435. Nope, he's a Freebird with this one.
    2
  8436. excessive heat will cause it to melt.
    2
  8437. Noise canceling setting worked very well for when the nut blaster was in use. For other situations when it's not so loud, it's sort of nice to hear some background noise.
    2
  8438. I'm not a mechanic, but my earchrometer says the starter sounds like it is dragging...
    2
  8439.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  I was a toolmaker engineer and welder for 30 odd year . Really enjoy your channel
    2
  8440. What the hell is wrong with jeep people???
    2
  8441. Good morning from Chicago Raymond, I hope we can get you your two hundred 😳👼 thousand subscribers by🎅 Christmas enjoy! Brother🍻
    2
  8442. And this kids is why we never use the same colour of wires on a multiple signal out wire! and that cam sensor is a hall effect sensor it will be Vcc @ 5V, Ground and then signal at Vcc.
    2
  8443. Great video
    2
  8444. I don't know if it still is since I moved several years ago but that Shell station in your test drive was a great place to grab a quick bite to eat for lunch.
    2
  8445. How did you come to this diagnosis without checking Fluid, Brakelines, Pads, Calipers ?
    2
  8446. Thats a monumentally shitty place to put a Master Cylinder. Good god. As soon as it said “is behind the battery” I groaned in sympathy.
    2
  8447.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  no worries dude 😁👍. Leave it, it does not need to be perfect. I like when I see mistake or 2 😁. BTW great videos like always dude, have amazing rest of your day 😁👍
    2
  8448. Again Ray if they were subscribed with all notifications on this wouldn’t be a problem. Remember folks like, subscribe, and turn notifications on. Have a great day everyone.🤘🏼
    2
  8449. Enjoy watching all new videos am a new subscriber, if and am sure when you get your own shop all the very best. Kind regards from Liverpool UK. Mitchell
    2
  8450. You should have more subscribers your content is always excellent dude
    2
  8451. Last
    2
  8452. Perhaps it was declined by the customer.
    2
  8453. People take note this is a classic example of maintenance neglect tires never rotated I wonder what the oil look like.
    2
  8454. The test drive took longer then the repair...lol
    2
  8455. I bet the owner had salon nails, a Vitton handbag & iPhone 12 or whatever the latest flavor is. Priorities 🤦😂 and they are the kind that'll bend some poor guy's ear off trying to get something for nothing.
    2
  8456. Reeeeeeeeeeeeee you shoulda split the ball joints and hub nuts just to replace the boots on joints that've run with dirt in them for how long? reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee despite the customer declining service reee then when they do fail in the next few thousand miles "it was never right since you messed with them boots" reeeeeee lol (Translated from ree language- It looks like the joints had run open for a while so likely the damage is done, not really worth the risk/hassle on a customer car maybe on your own vehicle or if you catch it early. Also, split boots that one glues together aren't the greatest.)
    2
  8457. Well obviously that cotter pin was bigger than your used to dealing with. That was painful watching u miss such a well lubricated hole with such a big pin. Giggity
    2
  8458. He kinda wrecked the video too, IMO. 🤷
    2
  8459. Roflmao. Know i live ya Ray . So all this is nothing more then sibling harrassment. All that crying over some mid Missouri surface rust . You beach boys 😜😘
    2
  8460. Were those $17 rotors? 😂🤣
    2
  8461. Ray you're going to have to listen to me a little more . I was hollering "RAY THATS ENOUGH !!" so loud my neighbor heard me. Then guess what , SNAP! So you went to the junkyard and got another one and "RAY!!" That was close. It doesn't need to be that tight . It just needs to be snug. Anyway disaster avoided. "Click".
    2
  8462. Hey buddy
    2
  8463. Torque wrench caught the battery positive post there.🙃
    2
  8464.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  Everyone has done it @ sometime NO big deal!
    2
  8465. Gm likes to bury their injection pumps lol
    2
  8466. I would take them manifolds off and Clean all that Carbon wow she needs a good cleaning Ray 56:40 @Rainman Ray's Repairs
    2
  8467. OH yeah turbo Time Going to sound so good with that turbo Upgrade that turbo whine is going to be Marvelous Ray 2:07 @Rainman Ray's Repairs
    2
  8468. That is a ton of carbon this engine definitely needed this overhaul Ray 39:20 @Rainman Ray's Repairs
    2
  8469. That is a ton of oil in that Garrett turbo holy smokes Ray 19:14 @Rainman Ray's Repairs
    2
  8470. L9ve the 6s and 7s Austin Powers reference to hilarious Ray 😂 54:10 @Rainman Ray's Repairs
    2
  8471. RAY! This video really needs a warning ! It is very triggering to us guys out in the northeast that have to do some of these jobs cab on . Like when you just zipped off the up pipe bolts and rear cooler bolts hell even the heat shield bolts ! I about spilled my beer remembering the frustration! Keep Up the great work and glad to see you saving the LBZ . I loveee my LMM
    2
  8472. I love Ray. Because like every single day. It's a rare opportunity to observe a "Florida man actually uses survival instincts" moment mixed with a whole bunch of classic "Florida man-isms" it's like a yin yang balance of epic Florida man.
    2
  8473. Ron would be more upset than Matt..
    2
  8474. That poor truck needs more usage.
    2
  8475. I bet you won’t let junk collect on your Flatbed again.🤣🤣. Sorry for the bad luck but fun to watch.
    2
  8476. time to do some sketchy s*** do dah, do dah, hope i get away with it, oh deh doo dah day.
    2
  8477. I know I'm late to the party but I support you 100%. Piece of plastic which is hidden verses extra $400 plus extra, no brainer. When my car next breaks down you can bet I'm putting it in a freight container, shipping it to Florida FAO Ray. They will know where to deliver it. 😉 Kudos Ray, good call.
    2
  8478. Try some grit ( fine grade lapping compound ) on your bit. Helps adding a lil more grip when pulling screws out, especially when heads are worn. Another good vid Ray, thx.
    2
  8479.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  a very wise choice
    2
  8480. my brake cleaner won't make that sound... :(
    2
  8481. You've turned into my favorite YouTuber, keep the videos coming.
    2
  8482. Someone strangling a cat or is that Troy being water boarded?
    2
  8483. Today I installed the new LED workshop strip lights I bought back in Jan 2021! So with you on delaying doing your own jobs Ray!
    2
  8484. You need a big ass celling fan, that's the name of the company
    2
  8485. Good morning Ray!
    2
  8486. And South Park
    2
  8487. It seems that you are have a run on AC issues this week. It's strange how they come in bunches.
    2
  8488. 5:11 "Saferer": Safer than some, but not all. Future video: "Saferest": Safer than all others
    2
  8489. I think you are doing a great job and service to people that need their car repaired
    2
  8490. Accidental welding, shake hands with danger!!
    2
  8491. Dude, that actually is a pretty good idea.
    2
  8492. I can see from the comments all the things people are saying you "missed". Didn't see you flush the system. Didn't see you put the covers back on...all that. Lots of things you don't record, or that isn't shown, I'm sure. If you showed everything the videos would be twice or three times as long..lol. Oh, well. If we need more videos we can go back to the older ones and see more...and the Doodle Dee Doos we miss..LOL. Take care.
    2
  8493. First off glad to see you are feeling better, with releasing new content. 😀
    2
  8494. ❤ glad to hear that you are fighting the good fight with this plague. ❤
    2
  8495. Hey, it’s nice to see a Ray video again. We have been worried about you. Keep us updated please. Hope you and your family are good.
    2
  8496. Hey man! Nice of you to send up some smoke signals and let us know ur still alive and kicking. BTW, I know a place where you can buy special hose clamp pliers. 😋
    2
  8497. 😃Thanks for the footage, get well as soon as possible.
    2
  8498.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  When I read the original comment I thought to myself "Is there ever a moment when every word a man utters isn't picked apart and commented upon". Wishing and praying for a speedy recocery for you and your family. God Bless.
    2
  8499. Wait, im kind of confused. Why does the Engine Cover spell "Turbo Diesel" even though its a petrol car??
    2
  8500. Great video. Learned a few tricks watching your repairs, am a home gamer with no training or experience and have tackled several jobs i'd never have thought i could do myself. (Not by choice, couldn't afford mechanic) but I really enjoy working on my own stuff despite having a fused spine and degenerative discs. Keep it up. Feel for you with covid, get well soon.
    2
  8501. Thanks for the post Ray. Glad to hear your on the good side of the rona now. Been having wrenching video withdrawals. Take care and hope you’re back to 💯 soon.
    2
  8502. First
    2
  8503.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  Good news!
    2
  8504. How is the rainman doing today? Ya sound a bit nasally, otherwise in good spirits?
    2
  8505. Hope you're over the hump. Stay hydrated!
    2
  8506. Good to hear you may be through the worst of it. Hope the rest of the recovery continues well.
    2
  8507.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  just giving you a hard time buddy. I hope you are feeling better. God bless
    2
  8508. It shows Turbo Diesel when the hood was opened outside, spark plugs/ coils ?
    2
  8509. Spark plugs on a diesel!! That's why it's not running right 🤣
    2
  8510. Hope you feeling better. I appreciate all your videos.
    2
  8511. Glad you over the hump. Thanks for the video Ray
    2
  8512. 108th! Happy Monday morning, as if Monday’s are happy, Ray,Lauren,Dave,and Justin. Alls well that ends well. Got stranded in Hawaii due to a rental car that wasn’t maintained very well by Avis. I could have been stranded inn a worse place I suppose. There wasn’t any cell service, due to cellphones were in their infancy. Had to walk about a mile in my Birkenstocks to find service, in the hottest time of the day. BOO HOO right? Roger in Pierre South Dakota
    2
  8513. Apparently the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow is your 3500HD. 😆
    2
  8514. So how much is the tow bill from rays auto clinic? That 9k pounds barely fit. Talk about like a glove holy crap.
    2
  8515. Well..... I remember a few weeks ago I told you to take some time to get your flatbed in order because someday you may need it....
    2
  8516. Thuderbolt of lightning.... (We're all thinking it, Ray says it!) 🤣🤣🤣
    2
  8517. Lol, we all started singing at the same time, Galileo
    2
  8518. RAY! YES, I AM YELLING AT YOU! Hopefully for a good reason. The winch line on your tow truck is in desperate need of some serious TLC. One clamp is never enough. You will have to do your own research because I don't have all the answers. How many clamps do you need? What size? How are they oriented with respect to each other and / or to the free end of the cable. Obey rule #1: Don't die today!
    2
  8519. Did you notice the double rainbow as you were pulling through the gate when you got back?
    2
  8520. Kiddy Shitbox. And dangerous with those huge offset wheels. Designed for an old rear drive car. But brake clean to degrease? Not a good idea as that stuff is flamable and lousy to do the job anyway. Degreaser, best type chemical degreaser spray it on, leave for 5 min then pressure wash off. As for the hose clamps? Not designed to be replaced. You scrap the car instead! At least it was not glued on with corrosion as I find time after time. And this with cars that do have the correct coolant. The moisture gets between nipple and hose and they grow together!
    2
  8521. Is the air ride worth it? Does it ride any better?, Didn't really raise it that much.
    2
  8522. i hate them mini's, i had to do a timing chain on one with the silly the chain is between the engine and gearbox, what a pile of crap.
    2
  8523.  @RainmanRaysRepairs , it’s hard to get stuff done when life gets in the way! It’s usually forced family fun too, but what can you do. Lol. Keep the wife happy and all will be good!
    2
  8524. Gotta get yourself some extra long needle nose with the angle on it, Ray.
    2
  8525. I don’t care what anyone says those GM 4.3 Vortec V6 engines are a very good engine.
    2
  8526. Haters will hate, love the videos Ray, especially anything diesel! You’re a beast and a damn good mechanic. Keyboard warriors will always have something negative to say, keep on rockin🤙🏻
    2
  8527. Ray sorry about the toilet paper emoji. That was a slip of my finger. Take care.
    2
  8528. You will only get compliments from me
    2
  8529. I do support your moral compass at times but you mean well 👍
    2
  8530. You handled the whole thing in an adult manner, I don't get all the negativity. 💥👊💥
    2
  8531. So the whole corndog scenario. It's kind of like saying we can sue every commenter who says we did it wrong because they thought we did. "Their opinion" it just doesn't work that way. Back to the corn dog. I know that racetrac the corn dogs do suck. But the ham egg and cheese croissant was on point. Along with the Stella Artois that somehow disappeared one evening.
    2
  8532. Go buy yourself a cold one ...I giving this im a firm believer in honesty and you shouldn't even had to have made this video.....some need to grow up and grow a set..one day in life they may have to do the same thing. Im with your opinions ray!!!
    2
  8533. Welcoming back!
    2
  8534. Right on Ray. The anonymity of the keyboard makes many very brave and bold. I work at the Humane Society and see dogs acting very differently when in their kennels and react toward other dogs through the gate vs face to face - similar to the keyboard scenario.
    2
  8535. Notification Squad!🔥🔥🔥
    2
  8536. When you say "you guys" let's be clear you are referring to any naysayer that gave you a hard time about it. Those of us that have been with you over the years know you are handling this in an adult manor, let them show what they do and base your decision on that. If you were wrong I'm sure you will make it right, if you were right I'm sure you'll let us know. Either way we are with you all the way. Don't worry about the bad seeds.
    2
  8537. Notification squad 💙

  8538. Transmissions are inanimate objects....silly Rainman Ray's Repairs...stop being Alliterative. Millennials will have to look up the def to them words...ROFLMAO.

  8540. Its not the part number, that is clearly visible when he is filling it. You Tubers have to be careful with things like Music and logos. Those are proprietary and he could be made to pay the musicians or the logo people because he is making money from the video. Just like radio or television, artists and owners of brands usually can demand to be compensated if you use their property to make money even if it's indirect.
    2
  8541. The blue shop towels are like super legit
    2
  8542. Lucky person. Saved thousands or insurance did. Great video.

  8543. farfagnoogin=far from movin.
    2
  8544. There is no more satisfying feeling than pulling up to some snooty fancy furrin' car dealership in my loud, ugly ratty OBS to pick up parts for one of their high-dollar shit boxes. They look at me like I just crawled out under a rock. Old trucks until death, especially diesels!!! Another thing about Florida people, usually at birth we come out reaching for an A/C knob or switch of some sort 😂
    2
  8545. Enjoyed the video 👍😴
    2
  8546. Why would the part# be censored?
    2
  8547. A Volkswagen / Audi with a check engine light is normal after 3 years
    2
  8548. I love your informative videos. HOWEVER,...lol...the latex gloves you are wearing are not rated for the oils and solvents you are using; there is a potential for chemicals to break through your gloves and penetrate through you sweaty hand. If you switch to the blue nitrile gloves, you will make this retired industrial hygienist freak out a bit less!
    2
  8549. Diameter? I think you were measuring width there. LOL, you got to know you're getting called on that one.rrreeeeeeeee....
    2
  8550. Talk about killing a job. I dont miss that crap.. wrong parts. But hey its better than Never Any Parts Available..lol. stay safe and be well. Have a great day Ray!

  8551. 2nd! HAPPY HALLOWEEN RAY AND THE WIFE UNIT! And BOOOOOO! to the two new employees! Roger in Pierre South Dakota

  8552. Aircraft electrician here! Instead of using the full flame on a lighter. Use the very base of the flame that way the heat shrink/splice does not get soot on it. Good videos rayman!
    2
  8553.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  probably since it was too low to hang truck nutz' off of the back
    2
  8554. Hi 👋 and first
    2
  8555. You have to pull the engine to get the alternator out.
    2
  8556. The stud is softer than The hub, for a good reason. And you got good drillbits Now, almost a complete Set too👍
    2
  8557.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  well get learned! Enjoying watching you find solutions as issues arise! Many times I'm thinking the same thing as you try them!
    2
  8558. Hey Brother Mechanic, you could have chisled the chrome cap off the lugnut and then tried to break the stud off. Your torch is the last resort. You may have been able to use the tire and rim to pry with by pulling it down and then back up until the stud broke off. I've done that on a Toyota Tercel.
    2
  8559. Love your content and commentary sir!
    2
  8560.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  bro I’ve been watching your YouTube clips now since I came across you about 2 weeks ago and I love watching yours vids! Sometimes I think to myself how the hell does he know all this stuff about cars and you seem to solve every problem! I wish there was a mechanic like you around my area!!! FYI I’m in Melbourne Australia in case your interested in moving countries 😌😅
    2
  8561. I worked a mechanic in the late 60's to the mid 70's and customers haven't changed that wheel would been fine with three lug nuts, until got it in and fixed by you. I had collage kid once put his snow tires rims on the back of his Tempest he forgot to tightened his all his lugs nuts. Be brought his car in so could check out the noise, When lifted car up on my two poster lift both of his rims hung off of the rear end like VW the holes so wore out the was only one lug nut holding on each rim on the axle. Those studs were so wore out he drover car to Boston on RT128 at 70 mph. I showed what happened the car had hub caps and covered is mistake. I showed how lucky he was the studs wore long holes in his rim only one stud was holding rim your lucky you didn't roll the car over, He ran to trash can and threw up. It was a coverable. It cost him two tires and rims one axle and ten studs, sorry for the long reply. Some people should never touch a wrench.
    2
  8562.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  your doing great I’ve learned allot from your videos so mush so that I’ve started working on my own cars . Let the hates hate it makes them feel smart lol
    2
  8563. try coconut water after much and prolonged exertion.
    2
  8564. I want to see how everyone with a EV are going to charge them with no electricity for a week.
    2
  8565. Do diesels not have evap systems? Stay safe Ray
    2
  8566. You’re going to show us how it worked out, right?
    2
  8567. I would have thought you'd be well set up a long time ago, from all the blow-hards in the comments.
    2
  8568. Stay safe brother prayers to you and your family
    2
  8569. You know you've got real mosquitoes when you smack one and it looks like a red paintball hit. Be safe. Looks like you'l be in the thick of it soon.
    2
  8570. Roters are cheep. And everything was removed already a roter just pulls off he should of just did it when he did pads. What he tried to save now cost him a bill at a shop 🤦🏻‍♂️
    2
  8571. P.S. Thanks for the tip on caliper compressor tool! That's probably the hardest part of the job.
    2
  8572. Not many mechanics like you anymore 👍🏻 I bet you sleep good 👍🏻
    2
  8573. always choose denso if available
    2
  8574. I think OE is Denso on Toyota compressors.
    2
  8575. Sometimes it's better to use oem parts,even though it's not as cost effective
    2
  8576. basically every time it's better to at least get OEM quality. buy once cry once.
    2
  8577.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  is🎣🎣 🎣
    2
  8578. Might have saved the engine finding the bad o ring on the oil pickup...
    2
  8579. the best part of breakfast is a Rainman Ray's Repairs vidija :)
    2
  8580. You have to cycle the door with both the remote and the upper console... It's self learning... I own one...
    2
  8581. “Blowpar” lol! 😂
    2
  8582. U make working on cars fun I’m glad I found u on YouTube keep doing what your doing you would make a great teacher at school
    2
  8583. I love your videos you do amazing work! Im curious about something why does the digital displays always flash in the video? Im sure its something camera related but what causes that. Not a problem just wondering minds need to know lol thanks
    2
  8584. You know you could have fixed it the first time you had it in the shop. It would have also saved the customer a lot more money and time. Just tie a long piece of string, rope or fishing line to the lever then just put a loop on the other end. When you want to open it, pull on the string as you push the button, then BAM fixed!! I am just kidding of course. ,o,
    2
  8585. Dang 1.5 likes with only 10 min post. You're rockin it son.
    2
  8586. Wow. I'm early.
    2
  8587. 💥
    2
  8588. Good morning Ray.
    2
  8589. Eh first, that doesn't happen very often!
    2
  8590. Ls engines go to the scrap yard with original coil packs on them they rarely ever need new ones
    2
  8591. You need to combine the 2 funnest tools in the shop, hydraulic press + propane expander wrench.
    2
  8592. I don’t comment on good videos, so I haven’t said much here, but please, ignore the idiots. 99% of them couldn’t do what you do. You have excellent material, great videos, and I honestly learn so much from them. Keep doin’ what your doin’
    2
  8593. Haters can bring a new audience also that end up loving the content
    2
  8594. Keep doing your thing brother. Job well done.

  8595. I agree with you on the comment's you said pertaining to police officer's. If there wasn't any cops to enforce laws, can you imagine how much worse crime would be..? Sobering thought. The way I look at it if people aren't breaking the law then there should be no fear of police, just respect because their job is to uphold and enforce law, which can be dangerous. Thanks for your video's. I really enjoy watching and learning! Also, I thought it was sweet how you were teaching your wife how to check the spark plugs. 😊❤

  8596. Wife unit is key to excellence... Dont forget the dynamic that promotes it!!!!

  8597. The clickage was very therapeutic this video Ray. And by the way there were no boring parts of the video.
    2
  8598. Who doesn’t love an afternoon quickie?
    2
  8599. Ray, don't ever stop being you man. Love your comments about today's corporate America. Today's standards, really aren't equal to what they were back in the day. Quality control was tops back in the day, today, not so much, no one seems to care until they're taken to court, even then, feels like they still don't care. Just a slap on wrist to them. I do tend to get NAPA parts over some of the OEM, lets face it, even parts from the dealership can be just as bad as the "Chinese knockoffs". Yes, it's happened, many times. Great video as always, cheers :)

  8600. Welcoming back!

  8615. I cannot stop laughing it's like The Three Stooges but only two

  8624. Very nice. Banks products are great. My Grand Cherokee Jeep 5.7 Hemi have a Borla touring exhaust
    2
  8625. Ok Ray, now I can't wait until you start working on your truck!! So now the question is....... When????
    2
  8626. Hope there's NO Welding Required... 😁

  8627. Hell, He put 'em to Work! Seriously Though, Awesome Family!
    2
  8628. Banks is nice. I has MBRP on my LBZ
    2
  8629. Its not too bad. I run my LB7 duramax with the 5” straight pipe and the 4” down pipe and it’s bearable. Its a lot quieter on the VVT engines like yours. I didng get the banks tho. I got the el cheapo kit from Jegs iirc. Worked great. The down pipe i fabbed myself, they only make a 3”.

  8648. Notification Squad!🔥🔥🔥
    2
  8649. Before oil filters on cars became a standard thing, service stations all over the country used the vacuum suction pump thing to change the oil on cars that came in for gas. The service station attendant would look at your sticker and say "time for an oil change, you can just sit in your car and I'll do it right here". Very convenient. But hey that's when oil changes were like every 1,500 miles or so lol
    2
  8650. You are a good man Ray, you care! Don't worry about bad days, we all have them! Nice, lol!
    2
  8651. REEEEEEE PUT ON YOUR SEATBELT. As always, great video Ray.

  8656. thanks for the quality video.

  8657. Atleast it was well packaged and protected and easnt going to fall apart Raymond we as mechanics need more parts protected like this 😂 11:21 @Rainman Ray's Repairs
    2
  8658. Best Unboxing Ever Most entertainment i have seen in awhile 😂 10:36 @Rainman Ray's Repairs

  8660. Giving back to the community is always a great thing to Do as a Mechanic. I have done this a few times Nothing Give that feeling of caring when you have the means to Help others nice To see there going to get a working van Back and someday they will probably do something similar for others even small deeds help 3:20 @Rainman Ray's Repairs
    2
  8661. Lmao at least you followed the instructions 😂😂
    2
  8662. What does it say about Mopar/Stelantis quality when Dorman sells a better quality part?
    2
  8663. You know.... This means war.
    2
  8664. You owe him, he sent you a ready made entertaining video. Fun watching.
    2
  8665. Looking good sir.
    2
  8666. Ray you tickle the hell out of me when your daughter shows up and you play that music. I just love that so much, way too funny!!!!!!!!!
    2
  8667. Did you get the cotter pin on the other tie rod end?
    2
  8668. Don't forget both cotter pins. You're like me I do a reverse inspection on my repair to make sure I didn't leave any 10mm behind🤣😂🤣🤣 and other tools. I make sure cotter pins are bent around the crown nut instead of over the top of the bolt like I've seen in many cases
    2
  8669. Holy moly at them wheel lug nuts wow @Rainman Ray's Repairs
    2
  8670.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  I'm fairly sure he's joking, the random negative number did it for me
    2
  8671.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  Yes friend I am joking. Keep up the great work. I'm still a subscriber
    2
  8672. It's Mopar , You are turning it the wrong way! Oh wait, that ended in 1970.
    2
  8673. That's Nucking Futs tightening them like that. Too bad you had to remedy the situation by drilling the off. That sucks the big one.
    2
  8674. This is my 4th time trying to watch this Video. My piece of 💩 laptop. I returned it for a refund.
    2
  8675. Word is out with you and lugnut removal!

  8677. You had an upvote at the intro. Normally I wait until I see to the end.
    2
  8678. Can’t believe how disgusting it is. Can’t believe you’re doing this. Can’t wait to see what happens next.
    2
  8679. Lol reminds me of back in the 70s we'd get some old beater cars that were on their last legs and drive them in a demolition derby. Sad ending for some cars that are worth stupid money today. I drove a 65 Galaxie that had a straight body and after that race it was pretty well smashed. Drove a 66 Impala, smashed it up. It was fun driving in those derbies but I shake my head now.
    2
  8680. Reeeeeeeee Still entertaining again though.
    2
  8681.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  Thank you for your reply. A very clear explanation and you helped me learn something as well.
    2
  8682. I thought you were going to rebuild the car 😅😅😂😂 but destruction is more fun too and love the videos rainman keep up the good work
    2
  8683. Love the intro.
    2
  8684. Your a good person for wanting to repair a camry Oh you are scrapping it You're a terrible person
    2
  8685. In my experience bug bombs do not work in a vehicle, you have to bait them.
    2
  8686. I hope that spray does the trick 🤮🤮🤮
    2
  8687. Aren't foggers explosive? You've got a 3rd one if you want to try that at home.
    2
  8688. Hey Ray, thank goodness it was just the rad you had to work on with that. That's a whole lot of motor in the front of that truck. Interesting video for sure. Cheers!
    2
  8689. Let's go gasket.Let's go gasket.
    2
  8690. funny thing, I say "click" and "gravity" have been for 15 years lol
    2
  8691. I'm scared Ray!! Good words man
    2
  8692. I’m not afraid I have the creator Lord and savior Jesus Christ watching over me and I’ll be praying for y’all also
    2
  8693. As the Rainman creates content!!😂😂😂
    2
  8694. Making use of the new right angle Impact. Noice
    2
  8695. Well, had me going there in the first minute or so. Wondering if I was watching the right channel. Ray doesn't usually come across as that petty. :-D
    2
  8696. Rainman Ray's Repairs - Your Channel has Fianly made it!!! As you are now a Target for Spam/Pornz Bots. Welcome Ray to the big time. 👍👍 I took the time to Report the Accounts that were spaming your coment section. They were hiding in the Reply sections. Aslo thank you for a very enjoyable video to watch as always. I learn more from you then i ever did in shop class. Thank you so much for making this channel. I look forward to your next.
    2
  8697. Isn't a foot-pound a unit of energy and not torque, whereas the pound-foot is torque? I'm sorry; I believe this counts as a ree. 🤭
    2
  8698. Rainman Ray is my go to channel. 👍🏾
    2
  8699. 00:00:30 I am /really/ disappointed you didn't say CLICK
    2
  8700. Dang his subscribers went up. I remember a week ago it was 70k + lol
    2
  8701. “Ave Drop” Nice!
    2
  8702. Lol had me in the first half aint gonna lie
    2
  8703. If this was tiktok “When the customer says they have someone that can do it cheaper”: engages transmission at redline, uses thread locker and impact on drain plug
    2
  8704. Where did you buy that phone mount? (Under the hood)
    2
  8705. Hahahaha...click bait! Lmao!
    2
  8706. Hi
    2
  8707. We are happy to note, that with the long overdue mastery of the famous funnel trick, you have reached a significant milestone, and have risen to a new, even higher level of expertise and skill.
    2
  8708. Not a good way to start my Friday!
    2
  8709. at least you filled the washer fluid
    2
  8710. The steering job was more interesting than the brake job as I've never seen a setup like that before. I don't laugh out loud much watching YouTube but I did nearly spit my coffee out at your comment on your new language filter 😂.
    2
  8711. It’s a beautiful day in America 🇺🇸 11/5/24 🙏
    2
  8712. During dissasembly and assembly I couldn't help but notice all of the residual power steering fluid all over the undercarriage and steering components and yet not a single can of brake cleaner was hurt during this video making everything "all shiny" 😂
    2
  8713. If memory serves me that Banks gear went on a lot easier and faster than the Ebay special.
    2
  8714. Hey Ray, I have an idea 💡. Instead of sharing all of those negative comments. Why not Share a Positive comment in each of your videos. You can call it "RAY'S PRAISE" or something like that. Think about my friend. You will start feeling better ❤
    2
  8715. Hello sir 🫡 You love you job so much,You liked to do it twice!! Nice 👍
    2
  8716. The Banks performance seems to be higher quality parts. I’ll be looking into them.
    2
  8717. Did he just leave that washer in there to bug me and make me leave a comment for the algorithm?
    2
  8718. Eric @ SMA would surely disagree with you. Again he services vehicles in heavily salted roads where vehicles only last 10 to 15 years before they rust apart. I've been putting a film of brake Lube on ears of pads and never had an issue. There's a difference between putting on a film vs packing gobs so it collects mud,sand and debris. A little fanese is required.
    2
  8719. I think it depends on the style the caliper is. I've had oem pad installment instructions specifically tell me to grease the slides/ears on the brake pad.
    2
  8720. Happy Apococlipse Ray !!! Reeeeeee Dooo dee dooo lol Love you brother !!!
    2
  8721. Dude. So because of you and one of your videos I was able to fix my work truck. I have a 13 chevy Silverado. It was going crazy and wouldn't start. The fob wouldn't work and the alarm wouldn't quit. I had an ah ha moment because of a video you did previous at the shop you worked at before opening your own. 3rd brake light leak running down the C pillar right into the fob receiver box. I pulled it out and opened it up and it looked just like the one you did. 1000% would have had no clue if you hadn't done that video. Also pretty sure I know cliffy. Been a long time since I talked to him but he was a customer at shoot straight in lakeland. If it's the same cliffy. I only saw glimpses of his face in the videos of yall doi g the shop work. Anyway. Small world. Keep doing what you're doing broman. Glad you're better too. 🤙🏽
    2
  8722. I agree you are a real person and always enjoy your channel, I have learned more from your channel than anyone else's, you are not making up content, actual work being done, I live in salt lake city and I thank you and wife unit, both of you are awesome people, don't ever change and thank you❤😊😊😊
    2
  8723. As a relatively new subscriber, I just have to say I'm so glad I finally discovered your channel. I love the positive attitude and the humor, and even though I don't work in the field, your videos help me find the motivation to tackle my own DIY automotive repairs. Thanks for everything you do Ray, I really appreciate it!
    2
  8724. Head cameras are good hands free 😊
    2
  8725. You are a giver.. a fixer...a person who contributes to humanity..... shame on our corrupt politicians and the puppets pulling strings who are trying to shut down the infernal combustion engine!! Kudos to you and your team!!
    2
  8726. Blanket statements. All too true. Group A must be doing B to group C. You ask why? Person comes back that it’s just a well known “truth / fact” There are so many idiots in the world. How about you take people as individuals and judge them by merit and see if they’re someone you like and can talk to and maybe be friends with. Grouping people by arbitrary categories is bull. And the worst kind of disingenuous way of dividing people.
    2
  8727. The woke crowd says you're not allowed to use words manhandle
    2
  8728. I had nut surgery this morning, so I also have "swollen nuts"
    2
  8729. I've watched so many of your videos and never seen a ratchet wrench ... I was truly starting to question our pseudo social media friendship.... But as of today you are redeemed lol
    2
  8730. I hate working in tight spots on cars🤦‍♂️part of the game tho😎
    2
  8731. to prove that i watched this video to the end. you swapped the torque mount bolts..
    2
  8732. I like your take on the bumper sticker. It completely aligns with my own. Racists are pretty much extinct. But we still have a**holes!
    2
  8733. Always enjoy the diverse selection of repair videos. Very interesting material.
    2
  8734. You Darth Vader and Tin Man cracked me up, I now have to clean up the spilt coffee. Thanks .
    2
  8735. It’s going to be fine because that torched bearing isn’t being re-used.
    2
  8736. Hey you tube this channel is awsome !
    2
  8737. It worked fine before you put your snake oil in it 😂lol
    2
  8738. There’s no way bearings that look like that I.e. not bad and not broken up would lock up unless they were overloaded. I suspect someone had the flange off, probably to change the seal, and over tightened the nut on replacement, putting way too much preload on the bearings. I would also go full rebuild at this point- there looked to be too little preload on the diff carrier too so all needs setting up properly.
    2
  8739. I’m in the same boat as you. 07 LBZ CCSB in dark blue from California. Currently 291,000. Rust free. Found its way to Kentucky a couple of years ago via a previous owner who was a Marine Aircraft Mechanic. In the past 2 years, lift kit removal, compete suspension rebuild, brake system rebuild, injectors, water pump, new transfer case with pump rub kit, fuel pressure regulator, serpentine drive kit, and all of the supporting “While I’m in there” repairs with all of them. Needs some transmission love. Previous owner said he’s never ran a tuner and I have no desire to run one myself. It’s been an experience of learning the Duramax, but I love my truck. It’s our “Family Truckster”
    2
  8740. I am having my 04 GMC Duramax redone. So much cheaper than buying a new pick up. Doesn’t have all that emissions problems and all the electronic sensors. Plus, I like the style of the truck!
    2
  8741. I know nothing about cars but I watched this entire video because I'm always impressed by those of you that do. Can't wait to see the other videos of this overhaul.
    2
  8742. Nissan Rogue has the dumbest cabin air filter arrangement. Hate it.
    2
  8743. Here is a comment, for the algorithm. Merry Christmas
    2
  8744. America First ❤️✝️🇺🇸🫡 Merry Christmas Ray
    2
  8745. Good afternoon Ray. You left out HoverCrafts. Merry Christmas to yourself, Wife Unit and your aliens.All the best 🎅
    2
  8746. Ray, got me some angry pliers on the way, thanks for the heads up on those. Should be useful around the farm.
    2
  8747. I watched a few of your videos and I had to subscribe! As for this, of course it's unacceptable that a tech would let this go when the belt has obviously poor tension, but it's really weird that the OEM belt size simply does not fit. I've never encountered that on any modern vehicle. I'm sure that after following all the correct steps, a flat rate tech would be pretty frustrated with the results, and not eager to figure out a modification when the clock is ticking. Luckily for the customer you had the patience to figure out a modification that solved the problem. Chalk this up to shitty build quality I guess.
    2
  8748. canadian crud is it worse then american crud? or do you prefer neither? it is all the clean florida cars have you spoiled! up in the “ rust belt” you do not have a choice. we are starting into that heart stopping winter weather , with enough salt to dissolve any un protected vehicle. they disappear right before your eyes! especially in the wheel wells, and frames along with brake lines and emergency brake cables !great video Ray!
    2
  8749.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  Dooood, hope you are feeling better or at the minimum getting better. Well wishes doooood.
    2
  8750. First!?
    2
  8751.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  wow - it's so funny - ages ago I told my gf - who is my wife now - the exact same thing! It seems to work with women - this weird species - all over the globe LOL
    2
  8752. It's a great cleaner for oil/grease, not necessarily for everything. Advantage: It evaporates quickly, so you don't have to dry it manually. Why does he use that much? Because someone else pays for it.
    2
  8753. she's gorgeous
    2
  8754. I enjoy the short video's thanks for posting your trip to Sema
    2
  8755. Haters be hatin' ! Your content is best. 💪💪💪
    2
  8756. Haters go watch Scotty Kilmer for the time being. Personally I looking forward to tonight's Walmart run. Shows the human side of men away from wives.
    2
  8757. Be happy He is posting at all.
    2
  8758. 👍
    2
  8759. You’re doing great Ray.I’m enjoying your Sema content
    2
  8760. I'm supposed to sleep, and here I'm watching a guy fiddle with a wasp infected PT cruiser... Great!
    2
  8761. When you were putting the timing belt on it, I remembered a trick with paper clips and 2 seconds later you put them on. I thought dang this guy reads minds. Lol! I like this type of belt set up, with the mounts. The bracket mounts have to be supported by a strut mount bar tool on VW engines. Very nice job! I wouldn't trust myself to this level of a job yet. I am surprised you didn't raise the car on the lift? Nice job!
    2
  8762. Love the channel.
    2
  8763. First!!!
    2
  8764. Awesome!

  8768. Hey ray,, my 1990 ranger pu with a 4 cylinder also had 8 spark plugs, plus 2 spark controllers, Bought that little sucker new and loved it for 2 years, until I could afford to trade it for for a '92 model with 4wd,,, and the same 4 cylinder engine,, Loved it also for many years until it was stolen,,,, :-(
    2
  8769. Happy Hump day 🎊🤯😊

  8770. Vocabulary word of the day: "besmirch"

  8771. I ordered the clamp pliers from Amazon recommended by Ray. I was pleasantly surprised by there quality and fit for the low price 👍.
    2
  8772. Love the doo do do when phone rings xD
    2
  8773. Listen, I dont like you... I LOVE YOU.
    2
  8774. No steering wheel lock ? Or forgot to mention it ?
    2
  8775. I've typed it before and I'll type it again........Rays goin' be that old guy future mechanical peoples workin' on the old style combustion engines are goin' say they learned this trick from after coming home in their Mr. Fusion cars.
    2
  8776. i am the first one :)))

  8777. Welcoming back!

  8779. Flywheel click.

  8780. I bet that Ray is working longer hours now 😮
    2
  8781. Great video and content on how to work without F bombing every time you drop a nut bolt or tool, I had both of my boys watch some of your videos to show them customers or other people around hear you.. Swearing not a professional way to work... Thanks ..
    2
  8782. Fair play buddy, you really seem to be enjoying yourself 🤘
    2
  8783. First in comments….😂😂😂
    2
  8784. Morning morning ..!!
    2
  8785. I have also used liquid flux but understand that it is messy and sticky and needs to be removed afterwards. That being said, it is weird to think that just a bunch of small gauge wires are all that is keeping you from being stranded.

  8786. "Turn it down! Copyright!" slams the fan speed control buttton XD

  8787. When I saw you changing the pads for new I kept thinking, hope he does the other side for balanced braking. You kept me on the edge of my computer chair, biting my nails thinking surely they do both brakes in the USA? So gratifying in the last seconds you said you had done the other side. Time for a Bourbon or maybe some Guyana Rum (me ex-Navy) 🤣

  8789. Great editing, especially the time lapse for the wires. Thanks for the videos.

  8790. Emma's call is a Pakistani SCAM!!!
    2
  8791. Had to laugh as I watch you escape the Snap-On tool guy. Admit it. You just didn't want to be tempted to buy more house mortgaging tools. Another excellent video. But please, clean those pine needles off the cowling.
    2
  8792. Ray. I'm only 8 minutes into this video, and the camera you're using now is horrible! Maybe the quality clears up later in the vid, but up till now it sucks. Focus is all over the place, white balance blows out when you're panning, and it's generally not as good as the GoPro you've had up till now. (AvE said it best, "Focus you faak!") Okay, back to watching the rest of the vid.

  8793. How about hats with optional ear flap pull-downs for us people live in Michigan you know it's cold?😂😂❤😂❤ again mile marker Mikey Trenton Michigan
    2
  8794. How about an option with your t-shirts with two pockets in them for those people who carry smokes or chew tobacco or glasses and a pen Etc all my t-shirts have pockets one or two in them because I carry a couple of my cards along with my glasses and my pain. Mile marker Mikey Trenton Michigan thank you for listening❤🎉❤🎉

  8795. 2nd to comment great day to you Ray hope your good but the most important thing is to have your self a great Ray
    2
  8796. welcoming back bonus!
    2
  8797. Forensics and more forensics that's what makes this channel so interesting, thanks Ray for explaining and coming to the conclusion as to why front end was not engaged; i guess we'll wait until all the cross members are removed to have access to actuators, interesting video for all 4X4 fans! great video Ray!

  8798. In horse-drawn carriages, the dash-board was a piece in front of the driver and passengers which would protect them from debris thrown up by the horses when they "Dashed" or went faster than a walk.
    2
  8799.  @tedmitchell226  It was 1.6
    2
  8800. Years ago, wagons had a dash board to protect driver from"Horse Exhaust" LOL!

  8801. Sounds like you have the torch set a little high, turn it to about 20 lb oxygen that about three-and-a-half to about 4 lb of acetylene. I have cut as much as three-quarter inch steel with that setting and it's still heats up things just fine
    2
  8802. WOW 1st class very kool great info.,, AAAAAAAAAAA++++++++++++ again great video I liked it a lot ,keep up the great work.
    2
  8803. Ray, I don't know if you remember me. I own a towing company here in Lib California. We have gone out many times to shops recovering vehicles off broken lifts. Never lost one ( knock on wood ) but had a couple of close calls.
    2
  8804. Matt's Off Road Recovery?

  8805. Glad you are safe. Please show us how you solve the situation 😮

  8807. Don’t stop not dying, Ray! 😎

  8810. Carefully removes the socket from precarious position. Then tosses it on the bench. LOL.

  8811. Good morning Raymond from Chicago,🥶 let's see what you have for us today 😀 WARNING this video May edumacate🦧🤷 ME BROTHER 🧰🚘👍🍻
    2
  8812.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  Posted this in a reply to another, but reposting here as you asked: Because of all the controversy regarding them. They deleted their AMA, scrubbed any mention of controversy on their blog site. Their CEO repeatedly donated to Hillary and the Democrats via ACTBLUE, then lied about it and deleted posts pointing it out, then later claimed it was just due to losing a bet despite recurring donations for years. They canceled an ad contract with Elijah Schaffer when he tweetted out a photo of Kyle wearing a Black Rifle shirt, then their CEO gave an interview with NYT where they called Kyle's defenders "the worst part of America". One of their former execs went on a podcast and disavowed Kyle for being a vigilante. Their CEO is a former glowie (literally; they worked for the CIA). The CEO has the ex-military fudd attitude that only military and ex-military personnel should possess AR-15s. Basically just because they've presented themselves as hypocrites and liars.
    2
  8813. Thanks for the update Ray. And I meant no offense for saying that I would use a wire brush to clean the metal before you weld. Happy New Year
    2
  8814. Ray, my comment was in no way negative towards you or the quality of your work, it is good to see it is working out, I don't know if I could have been as bold as you were with this repair, keep up the good work
    2
  8815. As usual, lots of reeeeeeeeeeee from the usual sources: people who don't understand what they're reeeeeeeeeally on about. 😁
    2
  8816. I think the coolant leak was caused by your crappy welding on the ball joints, good mechanic makes a lousy welder and visor versa......... PS stop deleting my post on rippen your face off.........

  8817. Hi

  8825. If you're not wearing your seat belt, it's because it should be your choice not the choice of reeeeeee's or politicians, period. When did we delegate our responsibility for our personal safety to any government? Never, but that doesn't seem to stop them.
    2
  8826. Also low oil will throw those cam codes due to the vvt system not having enough oil to operate correctly
    2
  8827. For those that say they cant or dont know how. Ive watched you for a while now build a career and a business with ONE HAND. Anytime I struggle with a stuck bolt or awkward part. I think, Ray did it with one hand and the other hand on a camera plus angles for the shot etc. If you unlocked both hands you could probably take us to Mars.
    2
  8828. Ray is Dave still working there haven't seen him for a few vids.

  8829. first comment ! keep doing u ray !!

  8834. Another! Thanks for the great vids! Keep em coming man!
    2
  8835. Ray, Coming from a retired police office,. Thank you for the kind comment.
    2
  8836.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  Yeah, but you could have hogged a hunk out of that caliper. That would have been so much less hacky than ordering the proper part as you did. <end sarcasm>
    2
  8837. You have something coming via Amazon
    2
  8838. Okay... so far, I'm only 31:00 into the video, and I keep waiting for you to realize that you never removed the rags from the intake ports on the cylinder head. Now I am eagerly anticipating the moment that you realize it... 😵😵‍💫🥴 Edit: Am I the only one who one who saw that they were left in...?? Ra-Ray, Buddy... are you going to address this at some point?! Edit edit: Okay, I went back and watched it at half speed and there was a video edit at 28:26; is Ra-Ray jus' messin' wit' us...?? Did he actually remove them and edit it out?
    2
  8839. Welcoming back!

  8850. Did you top up the gearbox oil level again?
    2
  8851. Looks like this job makes up for the bent bolts you had to sawzall the other day
    2
  8852. Holy shit I could never have the patience for this
    2
  8853.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  Ray you have a real Troll on your hands and he's not backing off no matter how hard you try!
    2
  8854. We gotcha ray! I saw you have two edits where u said “I’m putting camera here so nobody accuses me of camera trickery” and proceeds to edit....twice. 😂 😂 between that and this battery test we got u nailed to the wall ray. Ps. I’m jk. I’ve learned a lot from from rays vids. Blatantly not a scammer. Maybe he’s just sponsored by optima or something 😂
    2
  8855.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  don't worry Ray, if he doesn't wanna be your friend I will. 🤣

  8856. 15:14 Love the Super Troopers reference
    2
  8857. Ray I wanted to comment on how beautiful it is how you and Lauren get along with such a beautiful love you both have for each other. I hope one day I can have the same love that you both have for each other. You and Lauren and the kiddos have a great day.

  8861. You put the paper mat in upside down. how can you be trusted if you can't even put the paper mat in correctly? *sarcasm ^
    2
  8862. Easy just get a welder and weld up that split.
    2
  8863. Can you tell why my 2005 Tacoma front wheels wobble when I get up to 50 mph and is there a fix yet for the clunking in the steering column of this model truck since they first came out ?
    2
  8864. Good video as always Raymond I think there is a broken wire for that cam circuit high very common issue on these 5.4L v8 ford tritons 1:00:46 @Rainman Ray's Repairs
    2
  8865. Im still shocked on every issue that was botched on this engine install 0:38 @Rainman Ray's Repairs
    2
  8866. 54:48 I hear a rattle for about 1-2 seconds.
    2
  8867. A hour plus on a Sunday ❤️❤️
    2
  8868. 56:10 It would be funny if you ended up being the "next guy" in a few years, and forgot all about ever doing that.😜
    2
  8869. In ngks defense maybe one part was a random pull for qc check or might of been a return item because it wasn't the problem
    2
  8870. God was looking out for you Ray. Joel 2:32
    2
  8871. Ray, same type of story, I had a Honda 350CB spun out on road cinders and laid it down in front of on coming traffic. I rolled away got up and haven't been on a bike since and that was in 1978.
    2
  8872. my condolences to you on the loss of your friend.
    2
  8873. Try blowing into the OBDII port like a Nintendo game cartridge LOL.
    2
  8874. Ray used the deadliest substance know to man to clean that engine. We must Ban Di-hydrogen Monoxide. It will kill us all.
    2
  8875. Hydrogen Dioxide?? You mean Dihydrogen monoxide. 🤪
    2
  8876. You mispronounced the atomic name for water. Its dihydrogen monoxide.
    2
  8877. dihydrogen monoxide, not hydrogen dioxide
    2
  8878. Good day to you Ray!
    2
  8879. Timing seems too far advanced, it would also cause your overheating
    2
  8880. That air chisel statement just got you a sub. Never capitulate!
    2
  8881. Ray, you are an excellent mechanic but, you have killer talents as an instructor for us all. Mixing your natural wit and candid humor is so magnetic. I'd trust you and your work ethic, to work on any of my vehicles. I only wish you lived here in Tucson,AZ.
    2
  8882. We landed on the moon in 1969…. 69 dude!!!!! 🤪
    2
  8883. Fixing parts is a thing of the past when it was cheaper and worth the time to fix. Now the parts are just as much as the repair kits or only slightly less.
    2
  8884. WOW...87,000 miles on the engine...that's really good...for a Dodge Hemi...
    2
  8885.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  ok we can agree to disagree, I still love your content, you are exceptionally talented and one of my favorite channels keep up your great work. 👍🏻😊

  8886. I've been waiting so long to be the first comment. 😂

  8887. "Snake Oil" engine coolant is the BESTEST! 🤣🤣🤣

  8888. Rich, you're a man to be proud of.
    2
  8889. Thanks so much for a great history of Rich the Ford Boss Me! I enjoy hearing about you guys and how you came to be. It’s a story about the survivors who against all odds and walls to success pushed through and have become great at what they do and great people who care about their fellow citizens and neighbors! Thanks for sharing this with all of us! I’m honored that I have you guys to learn from. Don’t worry, I know you’re not perfect but you do your best with what you’ve been given and learned from experience in life! Thanks again!

  8890. My Line is Electronics, and a bit later, Computers - I Opened my own Store, got my Building paid off, and have now Retired - I ENJOYED the Repair Work! - More than once, I said 'I would do this even if I WASN'T paid!' - It is a sense of Accomplishment to make something work, when another feels it hopeless - Almost all my Customers were Referrals from past Satisfied Customers - I like to make Interwebz things wRok, you like to make Mekannicul things wRok! - On occasion, something may cause concern, but if you are like me, you just LURVE doin' this Stuff! - Keep 'em comin', Rainman! - GSS

  8891. Greetings from Niceville, Florida! Raining here too, you'll probably be seeing the same storm.
    2
  8892. I enjoy both your channels but owe Rich a special shoutout for his level of detail that can only be learned from experience. Two thumbs up for both of you.
    2
  8893. rich ray im starting to see a connection here
    2
  8894. That was A great success story, God Bless You Ray and Rich both.
    2
  8895. I'm thankful to have found Ray's channel which tied me to Rick's. Just purchased a 18 Ford and Rick helped me with that purchase watching his video's. Keep up the good work and may God watch over all that you do.
    2
  8896. I sold D5 rocket motors to the government with GED education. Anyone can succeed in life. Past is the past. Keep it there.
    2
  8897. Thanks a lot for sharing Rich´s story. I was going to write something more, but I am out of words, bless you both.
    2
  8898. I really have to say thank you for this story. This is something I needed to help me keep pushing. I going to automotive school as well as working at night and I was thinking of giving up on one of them. This story just gave me even more of a drive to keep pushing through.
    2
  8899. Thank you Ray for sharing his story. I came across his channel through yours and I have to say it was well worth the sub and time spent listening to him share his knowledge. I am super happy for his recent acquisition of a home and after hearing his story, it makes it that much sweeter to know he's succeeding and progressing in life! Thank you again for the awesome content and keep yourselves aware that people love you for the inspiration and commitment you exude! God bless you both!

  8900. Inspiring.

  8901. Wow, Ray, this one made me leak saltwater. I am walking a similar path.
    2
  8902. Click
    2
  8903. Ray, What an enlightening video. A look into the inner person of someone in your field. A look into someone who is touched by God to overcome his upbringing into being something better than his early family life would have made him be. Jesus tells us "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you". You and Rick are alike in that respect. You bring excellence into a humdrum existence. I will look into Ford Boss Me. Thank you, Brother!!
    2
  8904. Ray said "reach around". Giggity.
    2
  8905. Reeeeeeee. I couldn't help but notice I did not see YOUR jack stand placement. lmao. Kidding Ray. Love the videos... I find your catch phrases are making it into my conversations. lol

  8907. Those pinch lock nuts are the worst

  8908. Loved the Braveheart analogy. I could feel the elation at the bolt finally coming out.
    2
  8909. This is why I decided not to become a mechanic!!
    2
  8910. I like how 1/2/way through the video Ray trolls the Snap-On as harbor fright and then gives up and calls everything as is
    2
  8911.  @RainmanRaysRepairs I am wearing my Snap-on socks today also...
    2
  8912. 😂That's funny! Most of my tools are SK and I also have lots of Craftsman. I do have some giant Harbor Freight wrenches I used when working on Blow Molding Machines and Punch Presses. I even bought a giant adjustable wrench from Big Lots or a similar type of store!! I figured it was so big I would have a hard time breaking it!! I had it 30 years now and everyone used to borrow it!!! Who cares what tools anyone has. Buy what you can afford. No one is going to pay you more for owning Snap-on over Craftsman. Knowledge and skill rule!
    2
  8913. It is not what tools he does or doesn't have, When you call someone out be prepared to eat crow. If someone made a blanket comment about something they do not have the facts on it annoys people. By saying to a mechanic he has crap tools you are saying he isn't a good enough mechanic to afford the good stuff. It is a dig at who he is and what he has worked for. Personally i think this video was a good video and if i lived in Florida he would be my mechanic. You guys are lucky to have him where you live. Ford Boss Me is another one. I wish we had that skill here where we live.
    2
  8914. Everybody, SUBSCRIBE to this guy! Mechanics like this are few and far between. You're welcome, Rainman Ray's Repairs.

  8915. Well we know this wouldn't fly at the stealership... I'm happy everything has worked out for you at this new place, and that they value honest work.
    2
  8916. I like all of your videos!!! Why? Your honest and do amazing work that's why!!!
    2
  8917. Hey Ray. Hate that for you.
    2
  8918. Well you know you gave made it as a personality when you have your first fake death. Woo hoo rainman ray is now an official celeb!!!
    2
  8919. Ray I live very close to the Banks facility if you ever come out to see them again you would be a welcome guest at my house.
    2
  8920. Hes not dead. Believe me. Ray will post a video to let us know when he dies!😂😂😂😂😂
    2
  8921. BRING OUT YOUR DEAD, BRING OUT YOUR DEAD.....I'M NOT DEAD YET...I'M GETTING BETTER.

  8922. Well I never heard that u weren't alive but I'm glad you are! Have a great night

  8933. You need pontoons around the house and trailers
    2
  8934. Ray! Please make sure you put an upgraded metal coolant expansion tank on the rebuild Miata, they're a weak point and crack which is one of the things that wrecks the engines on these. Or at least replace the existing one with new
    2
  8935. BG makes premium products I been using it far a long time now. I wouldn't even worrie about the comments. I never read them anyway. Making videos you will always get comments that you do not like by some people who just want to give bad comments.
    2
  8936. Some of us actually have the attention span beyond a mosquito on meth. I really enjoy the longer videos and find yours more entertaining than most short videos. It’s my morning routine now.
    2
  8937. Looking good man.

  8944. Try at the Corporate Office level if managers have no clue.
    1
  8945. ITS SUNDAY RAY! CHILL BROTHER 😂
    1
  8946. Why should you have too go to them to set up a volume commercial account? Call the manager during the week and ask them if they would go to your shop and set up an account. The guy that is willing to come to you will most likely give you the best service and prices.
    1
  8947. Thank you. I work for Never Any Parts Available and echo your sentiments.
    1
  8948. Ray dont get disappointed. Almost no Commercial team members work on the weekend as shops are typically closed. Why they did not explain this I can not say but the weekends are not a good time to request Commercial set ups. Try again Monday after 8:00am and I am sure you will be successful.
    1
  8949. If the Auto Parts Sunday guys knew anything the wouldn't be working Sundays.

  8950. May have too call the corporate office for any parts distributor

  8951. Leave them a bad review Ray....that's all the F they care about is digital metrics ...not real world customers
    1
  8952. yep, I was at a spar shop and I literally stood for 10 mins looking at a guy talking to his work colleague and he was glacing back as though to say ‘im busy’ and I finally interrupted him and said are you working today and maybe serve me and he looked like he I was dirt on his shoe - after I said thanks for doing your job, have a nice day - people might think I was sarcastic and they would be right - what is up with some members of staff nowadays,, they dont care - maybe some people might say its because they are paid nothing much, but er, your paid and thats the difference. The world owes nothing to anybody, you gotta owe the world

  8953. Hope you covered the light holes on the top of the truck

  8954. Safe to say.... if you had the instructions, you could have just made the kit yourself. 😅

  8996. Why would you even waste your time on that battery anyway? I can see through the video that the battery is junk and needs to be replaced. The wrong move was for anybody to have put any money into that piece of f**** s*** anyway I mean come on that thing isn't even worth a brand-new alternator from Napa let alone a radiator and this and that and now you're working on it and it needs a new battery what else is that piece of shit Ford needing? Its a turd....plain and simple!!!!!!!

  9008. When the parking brake comes on just because you open the door, the proper done with clature for that, starts with an S but it certainly has nothing to do with safety it has more to do with stupidity. Quit trying to make the cars do the thinking for the driver. Breadsticks the light comes on if you open the door while it's moving or while it's running. Indicating that you're obviously not paying attention to what they intended you to do with the damn car. Sell it and buy something that isn't over-engineered. Only people on the planet that can engineer a car that cost almost $500,000 and will not run hundred thousand miles without major upkeep. The Audi isn't any better

  9027. I don't know how you view religion, but I believe everyone has a guardian angel. Maybe that voice you heard to not hit the breaks was that guardian. It was not your time my friend. Could be there is a greater plan for your life. God works in mysterious ways and uses us to accomplish amazing things. Food for thought.
    1
  9028. Fence gravity I agree with the fellow who said put a wheel on it and I think you could get away putting the wheel halfway or right at the end of it and you also could do a slightly raise concrete maybe a foot wide the wheel will have a “track” to run on.
    1
  9029. What you were experiencing was a case of PTSD. That was a very traumatic accident for you!! Whether you believe in angels or not, the truth is your guardian angel was looking out for you, and it wasn't your time to go. We lived in a house for 7 years and it was the most horrible experience in my life!! My daughter went through hell and what is so cool, 3 weeks before we were able to move, she saw a angel in her room, and she for once was at peace. I suffer nightmares and can't stop thinking about what happened in that house. It was horrible!! Glad you are okay!!

  9037. Rainman Ray: Torqueing about Fasteners - No it wasn't the mass of the socket - technically that actually worked against you (momentum / mass / acceleration) but such a small negligible amount to be hard to actually measure. Realistically, impact tools employ a torque stick no matter what you attach to them to drive a fastener. The combination of 1/4" drive extension / adapter / socket etc acts like a torque stick and limits the applied torque to the nut. I am sure you have noticed that a really stuck fastener loosens more effectively when used with just the socket. The torque stick / rotation limiter) works the same way as those torque rods used instead of coil springs in suspension components. The attachments placed on an impact driver form a torque limiter or sorts. As a result, the torque applied passes through a "spring" before it gets to the nut. The torque finally applied to the nut is also affected by the nature of the impact wrench. Each impact of the wrench is causes an angular rotation of the wrench (DUH) and it is limited by the workings of the wrench. Hence, each impact causes a very small rotation and this rotation amount either causes a rotation of the nut or as the nut becomes fully torqued the rotation is completely absorbed by the "spring" in the torque stick (real or intentional) that you are using. This rotational limitation stays within the elastic range of the torque stick and limits the torque applied by the impact wrench. btw did you ever wonder why the heavier duty impact drivers weigh so much? Think mass / acceleration / momentum – another topic. For professionals as you, your experience and skill level are such that your hand becomes the de facto torque stick and the tightness of your grip on the tool and the mass of the tool actually affects the final torque imparted to the fastener. This all happens subconsciously as skill is developed and the appropriate number of fasteners are destroyed by over torqueing (hopefully a very few). I am always impressed by your masterful use of the magical click mechanism that you use in all of your routine fastening operations. That is a good indicator of the level of professionalism and experience of a Master Technician as yourself. As a result you should be awarded with a Master Class Engineering Technician Click Certificate certifying your complete mastery of the art of CLICK. Well done - and I know what you are thinking - yes these certificates are about as useful as those provided by the Wizard of Oz but heck I bet it would look good on the wall. Out of words – all used up – library exhausted. 😀

I own six or seven Chevy avalanche so whatever you do to them maybe you can show me something I don’t know about them because they’re not your regular Silverado truck they are very different and also the Chevy avalanche is made in Mexico not in the United States of America which that was a drag no wonder a lot of stuff breaks down on them.

I had everything from customers telling me that 2 days after a windshield replacement, the check engine light came on, to my ALL TIME FAVORITE... I replaced a windshield in a 1994 Taurus back in 99. They told me the customer works nights and will be sleeping, do the glass but dont disturb him. Ok no problem. Job goes well and I leave. 30 minutes later I get a call from the company stating that his car alarm wont go off. Then they tell me that the customer is cussing up a storm because he doesn't have a car alarm and I had no right to put an alarm on his car. WTF?? So I guess he thought a 45 minute windshield replacement also came with a free alarm and install. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Maybe someone should tell that guy's wife who did the Google review that he's cheating on her and let's see how that goes over. 😂

Maybe he runs a shop in the area and wants to steer customers his way. Personally I would never give him a second thought. Wish I lived within a distance that would make you an option for my auto needs.

  9139. Google pays people like that to leave bad reviews, google does not like when you have a 5-star rating, wait til yelp contacts you and wants you to advertise and then threaten to put fake one-star review on your listing (we have been contacted twice over the years by yelp - I had choice words to say to them) Don't sweat it, people will look at that review and laugh - they will know it is a troll.

You screwed me out a test drive, if you was burning brakes you'd drive around 20 miles and thats after using hand-pump to pump up all four tires, I dont care about burnishing brakes, I care about saving transmissions. I really want to see what the trans fluid looks like after a few miles and know for sure if you gave it an extra 10k miles, you get 1/2 star review..............

  9157. I was a welder for over 40 years, and I could give a rip whether or not you were wearing gloves. But the pattern that you used weld sucks. Do you not know how to back stitch a seam? And when you do that, you avoid leaks in your well because you're not trying to weld over another weld that you just applied. The welder is already running when you hit another weld, which allows it to seal. You'd have to stay on that welder pretty hard to damage that core.

  9168. Ray, Nice Apollo but after watching this video i see what would help you out alot. I traded my apollo in a couple weeks ago for a triton d10 and wow what a difference. You would be able to go through that diag alot quicker with the scope and meter function on the triton. Next time you see your snapon rep, see if you can demo one. You wont want to give it back.

  9178. Tuned to death. These DI gas motors need to be treated like a diesel and keep extremely tight control of how many crank degrees that injector is allowed to fire. Banks beats this topic to death in his videos. If that flame front is allowed outa the bowl... bye bye piston and bore. No one wants to hear it, but if you wanna make big power safely with DI, you need bigger injectors to get that extra fuel in during the same amount of time. Its almost like it costs money to go fast.

  9181. I’d look closely at that A/C unit. If it looks black inside where you should see white styrofoam, replace it because it’s full of mold. Your health matters. I’d never trust an old A/C unit; besides, the newer ones are more efficient.

  9190. 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🌎🌎🌎🌎🍓🍓🍓🤪🤪 Now that Ray is a business owner, he will be doing less mechanical work, and more administration. It's the hidden responsibilities of simple things like answering phone calls, negotiating with clients, ordering parts, dealing with wrong parts, collecting and reporting quarterly taxes, both state and local, insurance, supervising employees, all while working 18 hour days. I hope he can navigate the mine field of failed businesses, and survive while giving viewers an insight not to his efforts, and keeping his family healthy and happy. He has thousands rooting for him.

  9227. I hate to be THAT guy, but aren't the fan blades set up to pull air, which considering the fan placement means the will pull air towards the front of the car? If the fan turns the correct way to actually push the air through (inverted electric wiring?), then it's just the fan blades that will be "unoptimal" at pushing air through the radiator. Sorry to be that guy and happy Thanksgiving!

  9244. As far as I know those old jeeps didn't come with electric fans in that era, so the whole aluminum unit must be aftermarket. On the new fan, can you flip the fan impeller over to blow air the opposite way?

  9266. Hi Ray...nice little addition....Ive fitted an idrive to my Colorado which is 2.8 diesel, makes a big difference....the only thing you have to be careful with is the settings, can harm the trans, as the shiffting needs to match engine rpm...also sometimes, when you put the foot in, if you dont commit, and change your mind as your just into it, the trans doesnt like it...will cauze bangs...no good lol... Keep up the great work...

  9287. ray, as long as you have flux-core wire, you can weld without gas.
    1
  9288. But Ray we missing the doodle-e-doos!
    1
  9289. Helpful tip , you need to move a little faster when your welding and it won't build up so bad . You can always make another pass if needed. No disrespect just 38 years of experience. If I wasn't so far away I would give you some free lessons on your tig when you get it. Hang in there Ray
    1
  9290. even I have ptsd from the phones in your old vids! haha
    1
  9291. HI RAY,good vid. i'm a retired welder,you are right about all the wrongs,but the biggest issue was the no shielding gas.If your welding unit has the ability to hold a gas tank,you definitely need to get a tank of argon for it. I used to weld stainless to steel using E70 rod but with a TIG torch without issues.[cracks].YOU could braze it using a oxy/acetylene torch too ,it's not as strong but it will work temporary.GOOD on you to help save them money.
    1
  9292. you can weld stainless with fluxcore , i've done that multiple times,just needs some practice, ow and i'm curious how you wil do with the tig when you finaly get it ,,thumbs up for all the efforts you put in these kind of jobs,,maybe a lot wil criticize howe you do things , but at in the end it works, atleast you put in the effort to for something like this to help your customer

  9298. WTF?! (Why The Fix) Ray!! I’m an armchair expert and about to lose my shiitake mushrooms on you! No stop-drill hole at either end of the crack, booger welds the size of Texas, and no grinder/flapper cleaning prior to welding?! I haven’t touched a welder and knew to do that! Anyway, long time watcher first time commenter. LOVE YOUR VIDEOS! Don’t change a thing and keep the success train rolling! No clue into your personal life and all that outside of YouTube stuff. Hope you’re doing well, and keep on keepin’ on!

  9299. @13:30... That happened once at the Nissan dealer I was at. Service manager actually stood up for the tech and got into a shouting match with the sales manager. He told the sales manager to keep his people "the f*** out of my shop".

  9300. Hey Ray, I think you need a newer wielders helmet that has all the fancy designs on
    1
  9301. Congrats to the wife unit, that was good trick........ IF IF IF you would just switch to .023 70s6 mig wire with 75/25 welding gas, your welding would improve 100%, gasless flux-core isn't that easy to weld with. I was 35 years welding in shipyard, Navy would never allow gasless flux-core wire............
    1
  9302. its 304 or 314 stainless. not 316 stainless. 304, 314 is magnetic some what. but will rust in high salt water or chemical environments. Thats why when worked at ship yard was not allowed to use these 2 types and only 316. As you did not want a ship to spring a leek when it gave way. Yep seen it happen when a part of made by an intern failed inside a dam and had to go in and fix it waist deep in cold water to make and replace that part. When taken out found out was slightly magnetic and looked on the outside like stainless.

  9312. The problem Ray, is that there are shops that are not as honest as you, and they do rip customers off. So I'm going to tell a story of an experience I had at a "trusted" shop. I'm a pretty decent Shade Tree, i can do my own basic maintenance. However Once upon a time I didn't have the space to do that, so I had to take my truck to a shop. This shop always tried to up sale me on stuff (See this used break fluid with no water in it? Your whole break system needs a flush and other "headlight fluid" kind of things. ), but they changed my oil/filter pretty quick. Well, que the day they said "Hey, your transmission was low, we added some fluid" ok, cool. paid for the quart or so they added, drove off. Next oil change rolls around "Oh hey, you've got a bad trans leak, we need to replace your transmission." i DID NOT have the money (also why does a leak = replace the trans), so i declined the repair and decided to keep an eye on the fluid. So for the next week, daily checks, it was slightly overfilled, and i figured with a leak that's a problem that will solve itself. The daily became weekly checks with no noticeable loss of fluid. then monthly. Then whenever i thought about it. A year or two later I had to take it to another shop to get some work done on a weekend (oil change shop wasn't open weekends and I couldn't afford to drop it off during the week and be without it) and i said "hey while its in the air, can ya'll check the transmission leak." i got it back and the other shop was like "yeah, nothing wrong with that transmission except someone over filled it and the fluid was burping out of the fill tube when it got hot." needless to say, the "trusted" shop i used to get my oil changed at never saw my business again. That was like 6 or 7 years ago, and its only within this past year when i replaced my radiator and the trans cooler lines drained a bit that i had to add any fluid to my transmission.

  9318. Many many years ago flew my cessna 172 into lake geneva playboy club. Got 50 gallons fuel and the fuel kid checked the oil. Did not install the oil cap correctly. Oil flew out in massive way onto the windscreen just after takeoff.. did a quick return to the flight line and waited for the gas kid to use two boxes of shop towels and brake fluid and dawn n water dish soap to clean off everything but the tires covered in oil. Lost 5 quarts of the 12 quarts in the 470 engine in 3 minutes. That could have been worse at night or if I made it 5 to 10 minutes away. Lucky i said oil cap... get on ground and engine to idle in one quick sentence. With a few added bad words. My fault for not checking the kids work. Kid was scared he would be fired ... all I said was are you ever going to do again ??? He said hell no. So he and I worked out the issue while wiping off oil.

  9347. It looks to me like they felt their way for that bolt, but missed. However they thought they found the hole and started screwing the bolt. They may have thought it was tight due to the tension not visually checking the bolt. Just my assumption.

  9386. The slow down and move over law in NY was passed years ago. One of the folks who was killed was a good friend of mine who ran a tow company that did some of my tows. The law was expanded to include pretty much any vehicle displaying warning lights after his death. I'm beginning to think that if I lived in Florida I'd just own a nice plot of land with a top of the line RV on it... "HMM, storms coming, let's move for the week"..
    1
  9387. Ray, I am binge watching your previous posts as you are great and I learn a lot from your successes and mistakes. You are a straight shooter and even show us what not to do. I stumbled onto a year+ old posting of a friend of yours Ryan Kraus whose continuing journey is incredible. I Hope you are keeping up to date on his progress and wondered if you might consider (and be able to) repost your introduction to him and his sister and their story. Just wondering. His sister Samamtha has a YouTube channel dedicated to him that she does a great job of updating us on Ryan as well as including many actual videos of him. Anyway, keep on keeping on. You and your wife are good education and entertainment 🤣. I appreciate you.

  9388. You didnt get hit, but up here in North florida we got hammered. As a roofer i feel it the next couple days. Yesterday, the day after, we got over 400 calls for temp roof patched and such its crazy. Much of the area still out of power and probably wont be back on for a few weeks.

  9394. "Stupid storm, ruining the economy..." No, this is Idalia, not Biden. Staying prepared, otherwise known as adulting. Good job. Being prepped is just normal. Glad to see you get a win, my friend. Between you, Watch Wes Work, Ivan at Pine Hollow, Eric O., Squatch, Keith Rucker, David Richards at the Old Steam Powered Machine Shop, Windy Hill Foundry and a few others, I'm beginning to think there is nothing that can't be fixed. If the owner is willing to pay what its worth to fix something, there is almost always a solution. For many of us, the repair may be "more than the car is worth," but it isn't more than it is worth to us. I agree. If the engine is out or the transmission is out, ALWAYS replace that rear main. It is cheap insurance.

  9398. The valve stems go opposite of each other! So, the inner valve stem was at the top, the outer valve stem should be at the bottom. I've been a truck driver for over 32 years, you want the valve stems opposite.

    1
  9424. It is fun like I do Cars. Hope you don't get stuck with the cost of engine replacement. Remember that some of videos we watch we are attracted to like nascar junkies going to see crashes. I look forward to your analysis of what happened to this "present pile of junk".

  9427.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  I managed an import shop for a fellow military veteran. We had issues such as these with customer floating from shop to shop. We documented, photographed (shortly before the advent of the smart phone) and maintained the evidence (I’m a retired federal criminal investigator with the USAF..😉) This was only for our shop to defend ourselves if the customer ever threatened a lawsuit. You did your best under the set of circumstances present to you. I believe you’ve covered your tail with these videos. God bless this customer and send them to their respective dealership to deal with the service manager and perhaps Chrysler/Fiat corporate regional representative. Press on my brother. Tomorrow is another day!

  9431. It's funny that you mention I Do Cars channel. I was bingeing Eric's teardown videos when I found your channel. I've come full circle.😊 That poor Pentastar. Such is the Chrysler, Daimler, Fiat, Stellantis way. Great video sir! 👍👍

  9432. Thanks!

  9433. I love how all the comments are like "this engine is known to leak coolant into the cylinder", "this engine is known to drop valve seat", "this engine is known to...(insert some other form of catastrophic failure here)"... sounds like a great motor lol

  9434. My guess is hydrolock bent the rod and then, eventually, the rod broke and threw the piston into the cylinder head

  9435. That's why they make jb weld. True story ,i had a 78 el camino ss that i was trading in and took it out hot rodding around one last time and blew up the spider gears in the rear end. I jb welded the gears back together and drove it real slow up to the dealership and when the sales guy wanted to test drive it for the trade in precheck he hits the gas and barked the tires on their parking lot and i was just hoping that he didn't go all Richard Petty on it after he was out of sight. But he rolled back in and i drove home in a new Chevy truck absolutely amazed that the those glued together gears held up.

  9444. For Ray. Please don't make the video each day very long. Like this one. I still like how you make your videos. But these sets of video should have on this particular truck should have been parts 1 through 4. Not 3 parts. This way those of us who has things to do is not wasting their time watching. Make each video about 45 minutes long. If you must go add another part for us to see. Also please start telling us in the title of each video what part it is. That helps find the next video that tied to it. ( say something in the line part 1 of 4) and yes you can go back and adjust the titles if you need too.
    1
  9445. I don't often make comments but here's my take on this excellent video. I too wish Troy all the best but I always felt he was somewhere else. You need a proper sturdy bench with a proper engineer's vice and a hammer that doesn't bounce. I enjoy all your videos and the work ethic is great.

  9450. I think its time to invest in a larger linear impact driver

  9451. Around the 35:50 mark, looks like one of the bolts securing the transmission or bell housing is not fully tightened. Hopefully you caught this and tightened off camera.
    1
  9452. Noticed a loose bolt on bell housing while you were putting flex plate bolts in. I figure you probably found it on your final check, but thought I'd mention incase you didn't.

  9453. Don't forget to tighten the bottom bolts between the engine and transmission always thank you mister ray😊

  9467. 47:37 ii think the same type of engineering could apply to transmissin covers and extra cooling capability, also why do manufacturers think cooling your transmission fulids with engine coolent is a good idea, as youve showen in the past when this fails and the fulids mix its a big mess to deal with. You could do a lot better system just using airflow and its own cooling system under the body of the vehicle, same with brake fulids. Why have engine coolent pass over a heat exchange with any other liquilds. That seems like a cheap fix. Lazy engineering.

The large plate I found correctly fitted when you showed us around the whole diff. I went looking very hard after reading a reply from johnhpalmer6098.

  9485. SINCE im the same mechanic caliber you seem to be, i see no reason why charging for the correct procedure done, the right way by a skilled mechanic such as myself who has muscle memory of how to do a job whether the idea of cheating crossed my mind or not, it's being done the right way and you can drive the car the way it was meant to by you fixing it the right way the 1st time. Unless there's people who love working so much they'll do the job twice and then there's a person who's paying four times more for that same mistake.🎉

  9498. Every time I see the recently updated intro. With the brake rotor from "There was the brake rotor" to "Not anymore it's not". South Park episode got me saying that around the shop and now everyone is saying it. 'Aye you working on that truck? Not anymore you're not. or when I get asked that NOT ANYMORE I'M NOT. lol

  9514. It would certainly appear that that broken wire (probably hanging on by a single strand and stretched insulation before you tugged on it) was responsible for both the ABS and transmission faults. I would strongly suspect that the trailer control module trouble code also goes away, as the "implausible data" it was complaining about would very likely be from a wheel speed sensor dropout. You're going to have one very happy customer there. The HMI trouble codes, if they recur, are probably going to be from a separate cause. You can truthfully say that you didn't reproduce that particular problem this particular time. But if they too have a common cause, they'll be gone too, and you won't ever have to worry about them. As for why the transmission would glitch like this, it's probably using the average of the two rear wheel sensors as a surrogate for the drive shaft speed. If the drive shaft suddenly seems to be going at half the speed, it will try to shift down in a hurry to match the gear to the speed. Then, when the sensor data comes back in and the apparent drive shaft speed doubles, it suddenly has to revert the downshift and go back to the higher gear. All because the manufacturer can't be bothered to spend a few cents fitting a dedicated driveshaft speed sensor.

  9517. In the maintenance work I did over the years, that is like a "LoveJoy" motor coupler. They were always tearing up the "spider" is what I called it. With them the metal parts would wear themselves out too. So you ended up replacing all of the motor coupler. It's a good thing you are a slim build of person, Me, I would fit!! My days of doing "limbo" is out of the question!! At least you remembered what to do this time!! Stay safe down there!!

  9519. Ray, that comment about Honda Del Sols and Ford Probes in high school took me back -- not because of the cars, but because of the music. For me, it was Linkin Park, Puddle of Mudd, Seether, System of a Down, and Saliva as bands I used to listen to. In point of fact, System of a Down's "Toxicity" album, their first, was released in 2001. Knowing that, I kinda feel old, lol. Good work as always, Ray. And I feel your pain about the contortions you put your body through, under the steering wheel. Been there more times than I care to count. And the coffee cup looked good as well! Awesome job on "ze shameless self-promotion;" I enjoyed that bit, along with the Wife Unit being her awesome self as always. Until next time -- same Bat Time, same Bat Channel, Mr. Ray!

  9530. New business….Rays Express Alternator Change. Life is always throwing families a curve ball. Another midnight oil night for the already exhausted family. Seems like half your videos since you changed jobs have finished after dark. But, that’s a small business. 80-100 hours a week. God bless.

  9531. Ray; sorry buddy, but it IS kinda funny. Hang in there man, you're doing great work.
    1
  9532. Mere mention of brake clean made my day. I used to work on a fighter bsse with heavies next door. Always something in the skies, meant staring up a few times in the day was mandatory.
    1
  9533. Oh man, I think I forgot to comment. FOR THE ALGORITHM!
    1
  9534. Ray, did the owner tell you to install it anyway? I'm sure they must have or you wouldn't do it. I hope you told them the risks involved
    1
  9535. It's always funny. The sound effects of the brake cleaner 😅

  9536. Missed opportunity to use a back to the future clip ray. 1.21 JIGGAWATTS!!!!!! How disappointing.

  9537. Ray, your narations crack me up. Getting to that C-130,it could have been the Coast Guard seen flying around often.

  9538. I was waiting for 3 months to get a voltage regulator for a motorbike I owned once, so I decided to ride to the big city to the dealer and ask them why it was taking so long. When I asked them over the counter for the part for that particular model of motorcycle, the spare parts salesman said "there is no such model". I had to take him out to the car park to show him my bike before he would believe me! After waiting another 3 months I rode to another state Capital city an bought one over the counter because they had approx 20 in stock. My dealership wouldn't get one from their sister company but would make you wait for the part to come from overseas.

  9539. Good eye - 0.020" here, 0.020" there. 'Click'.

  9540. Risky swapping the pulley. I've been burned doing that due to slight design changes to the front of the compressor. You got lucky. Nice job!

  9541. The light was green, and he used his turn signal, without impeding traffic, therefor, not illegal maneuver. But also, thanks for saying it, the way you did, 10/10 entertaining!
    1
  9542. He’s had the oil line recall repair done. Thats good. You didn’t say click when tightening the line. That’s super sketch. 😂

  9543. also being distracted by various machines, a few years ago a B29 (last one in flying condition then) flew over my house...

  9544. Hey ray I thought about tapping and bolt but only because you said that the hole must have had a sensor which implied it was ok for a bolt. The welding just seemed messy but you always do a good job so no reee intended
    1
  9545. I wasn’t criticizing you, I was simply wondering about the plug in the manifold. Besides the participation improves you altharythm to your feed!

  9547. People are going to complain no matter what, damned if you do,damned if you don't

  9548. You missed the joke I asked why you didn't use a dry-wall screw to plug the hole, because I know you love when people use dry-wall screws to make automotive repairs.

  9549. Ahh! Grasshopper you in fact did end the life of one of the most miserable insects on the planet. Bravo! Did I mention great work.

  9569. Ray look into getting (Big Ass Fans) - brand name, to mount on the ceiling that should provide good air circulation.

  9570. Good decision on placement of the air compressor. When you were discussing with us where you would put it in the shop, my thoughts were "that's going to be awful noisy in the shop"

  9575. Years ago, I worked at a Chrysler dealer ship such things were common. Remember the right and. Left hand threaded lugs common on Chrysler Dodge and Plymouth how they could mix them at the factory I'll never know .We once had if i remember right it was a Plymouth Volare on one side and a Dodge Aspen on the other. Different headlight assemblies, taillight assemblies, and badges on each side in the shop for dealer prep.

  9576. Ray your channel is the best man! You explain and show everything you do unlike some other channels that cut away and come back after repairs are done. Plus you work with one hand and hold the camera in the other just so we can get a good view of what's happening. Its the best insight into the life of a mechanic. I hope you get 1 Million subscribers.

  9583. If I were the customer, I would settle for nothing less than a new transmission. There are too many what ifs. Just put the transmission on a shelf in your trophy room and hang the yoke on the wall above it.
    1
  9584. The transmission will need replacement. There will be extensive internal damage caused by the loss of support on the tailshaft. Also, the entire driveshaft will need to be replaced, as they are balanced as a complete unit. Simply replacing the yoke will not do, as the shaft will be out of balance. Also, good on you for shaming the customer for those tires! Have a great day, Sir! And God Bless. o7

  9593. 3.83 volts is ECU test voltage to see if injector is there or within tolerence from my experience. 3.84 to 5v is not enough to fire the injector, but enough for ECU to test id it's there. Hope that helps, much respect for your videos, learnt a lot from them sir

  9598. Don’t worry if you get 3-6 volts on the ground lead with the multimeter, when the écu is not pulling to ground, the lead is literally floating to whatever is around... and since there is no load at the end of the wire ( relay coil / injector coil ) you are kinda measuring a wire with both end unplugged. If you would had half plugged and peaked at this wire you would had get battery voltage on both... until it would be pulled to ground... no worries there

  9599. Congrats on 400K subs!!

  9601. I'll be honest, Ray, I prefer the shorter videos. Not short-short, but 20-30 minutes. Still full of info and entertainment in a smaller bite-size package. Less investment required to get my doodle-de-doos. Longer videos are OK, too, but I prefer the shorter ones.

  9634. It saddens me a bit too know that a country like China can spend money on putting a spaceship into orbit, build massive computer networks, track people all over the country, invade their neighbours, but then let the companies build this junk. It really is a waste of variable resources, as for the exact same effort they could have built something much better. It's a lot like what came out of East Europe in the 60's, a lot of junk and misery. Check out the two stroke trabant that was made of 'composite'.(papier maché)😂

  9635. Dude you are insanely humorous with being crass, rude or condescending😂😂 Funny without trying.

  9645. I can’t believe I’m even saying this because I didn’t think it could even be possible but it’s like a cheaper version of a GEO Metro! Lol Honestly though the Geo Metro that I used to daily drive is probably the most fun car I’ve ever owned/driven! It was a 1 Liter 3 cylinder 5 speed and I used to get 50 MPG! Slowest turd I’ve ever driven but since it was such a turd I didn’t really care about it so I drove the absolute piss out of it! Lol

  9652. I was not a huge fan of vehicles with the 'fly-by-wire' throttle systems when they came in, I prefered the mechanical throttle cables but I'm sure they're a rare breed these day Just gives something else to go wrong, a little added complexity and cost, a whole lot easier to find a broken cable and replace it than find a broken wire or wiring fault. 😆 🤣 😂

  9653. "I'm bored...entertain me, but on my terms"... ... riiiiiiiiight... XD

  9657. Hey Ray, nice work on the van. I enjoy visiting with you most every day. Don't give the naysayers much thought, they will dwell among us always. Just remember, you could stand on the street corner and give out 100 dollar bills and not everyone would take one from you...

  9660. Just a tip, if you want to sell us on the premature "ok, problem solved, we're done here", you need to do the full "I need to remind you, to remind me, to remind you, to not forget, to have a great day". 😊

  9677. Yep, every time on those 3vs. Right side tensioners fail, top right guide gets eaten off as the chain whips around the sprocket and destroys the top of the guide through beatings. Just one of those things that has to be redone from time to time lest you lose the engine. :| Did mine in my 'backyard' to save my car (06 Mustang GT 3v 4.6L), was quite fun and SO satisfying to get it started after the job was done. 191K and still goin'! I find it amazing this issue isn't on the 2v, 4v or Coyotes... that I've heard of anyway...? /Left side tensioner doesn't much matter, btw. Gravity keeps it from being a rattler/beater on that side, it's always 'in tension' so it just gets pumped up to 'normal' despite the blown gasket. You likely never see it destroy itself like the right side. Right side tensioner can't hold up the chain because gravity so it gets slack after engine off... rattle city on start. Beatings of top guide ensue. And that's why it is what it is. :)
    1
  9678. Nitpick because I just gotta. Those are actually lash adjusters and cam followers in this engine, Ray. :) And the owner should absolutely approve replacing both for the updated ones. Ya got all this far, why would you not? They oil things better. Even though this got 190K+ on it, no way I'm using them old ones.

  9680. time to redo the headliner in that truck

  9681. Hey btw. The 6.0 belt install. The easiest way to install a new belt is to unbolt the alternator set the belt up then you can force the belt onto the alternator w/alternator at 30dr down angle and force the alternator back into place. Rebolt the alternator then No remote the fan clutch or shrouds.

  9682. The coolant filters are used to attempt and get crap out of the coolant. The oil cooler that is buried down in the valley has super tiny passages and gets plugged super easy. When it plugs, it starves the egr cooler for coolant which causes it to fail and over heat the engine popping the head gaskets. Lack of flushing coolant on these has led to tons of failures. Proper maintenance on the cooling system will eliminated the need for a coolant filter. Your hot no start is another common problem caused by either a bad High Pressure Oil Pump (HPOP) usually on the 03-04 models or a high pressure oil leak in the injection system on the 05-07 models.

  9684. Hi Ray, love the commentaries, love the wisecracks, feel for you at times though, many years ago I became a mobile vehicle mechanic on call outs to service or get going broken down vehicles 24 hours a day..The most Irritating was a regular customer called me 5AM was due to leave for work in his work van i serviced but he came out to find his van not starting, boy did he chew my ears on the phone even when i got there, when i put the jumper cables on one flashed on connecting the live telling me there was a big current draw from his van battery so, I looked at the front to see bright shining headlights now on.... YEP, he had parked the van the previous day leaving his headlights ON.. I got the van started, turned the lights OFF while it was charging and explained what he had done, but, he said i should have told him it needed a bigger battery as to not let it happen again.. I WAS BY THEN VERY ANGRY but just said OK next service then, took my stuff, left him the van running went back home/ I NEVER serviced his vehicles ever again - i was "too" busy - lol.. I only done that job for 2 more years and went back into Engineering parts making for AERO stuff, as the downturn in work had by then picked up and gone crazy again.. Thanks for the videos - Ian..UK... But even after all those years, 40 or more I still feel angry by that fool, i know its wrong but there you go.. lol

  9689. Awesome video ray

  9690. Yes I want a video of it getting it's powersteering lines ripped out.
    1
  9691. we have the same truck :) what brand is your headache rack?
    1
  9692. "Customer states what?" Those lines are googats! (Insert maniacal giggles here...)
    1
  9693. Those 4.2L I6 Chevy Trailblazers are NOTORIOUS for check engine lights. I bought an 06 and it had 6 codes. I fixed all but one. It would pull a code after driving on the interstate. Transmission would slam into gear for at least 10 minutes after interstate travel.
    1
  9694. WOW Those are the craziest jumper cables ever... You should market and sell them.
    1
  9695. Hey Ray! Just wanted to let you know you have a crack in your windshield (like you dont already know...)
    1
  9696. what? no jump pack
    1
  9697. Agree with John H -- #7 line also needed.

  9698. Video when you get parts.

  9699. When you can jumpstart a car on the other side of a highway, you are a professional.

  9700. The first time I did those lines no one would come near me, 😠 around the fourth time they where easy and I was a human again😀
    1
  9701. Of course we want to see the video
    1
  9702. You sure the Fluid is Trans ? Might offend the Pan, Bi and other Alphabet fruits ! lol

  9703. hell yea, those lines look like a bitch to do, I would like to know what it pays.

  9704. Funny I ordered trailblazer power steering hoses from autozone the other day. Your part stores must suck
    1
  9705. A day in a life 👍
    1
  9706. Love your videos though 😄
    1
  9707. WHY DO YOU HAVE YOUR TOW MIRRORS OUT!? I don’t see you towing anything in this video or any many of your other videos. From me and every other motorcyclist in Cali and Utah….🖕
    1
  9708. Actually just the usual day. Start one , skip to another, just take a "minute " to do this one little thing out front, then back to the first one, wait on parts, so go to number 2, then they want to know why you're not done with anything yet. We've got more for you today, so HURRY..... And while you're resting, pull that truck over the curb. Can you do an oil change right quick? We've got a guy waiting on it...Oh and your parts are here and the customer has called twice to check on it already....Yep, all sounds normal to me.
    1
  9709. Lol your jumper cables are jjust 10 feet longer than mine. Mine are 20 feet 4ga.
    1
  9710. You also need #7. I have done these before.
    1
  9711. Hi Ray. I would order part No 7 as well because you going need it. Cheers Mate!

  9712. RRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE there I feel so much better now.

  9715. I would like to see the video on power steering lines

  9716. Just be glad you are not doing head gaskets on it
    1
  9717. Been awhile since i watched a video. Shop is looking good!
    1
  9718. Seems to me the last guy who worked on this engine over tightened everything except the one bolt he had trouble reaching over in the corner by the steering shaft.
    1
  9719. In this instance, what saved you was videoing and reviewing your own work. This is what will give you an edge over other mechanics - not only are you forced to double-check your own work after the fact so that you can be sure you did a good job, if a customer comes complaining about you not doing a job right, you've got video evidence to the contrary. Never stop filming, Ray.
    1
  9720. you forgot the hose in the tank i seen the first video
    1
  9721. Did you forget to hook up a hose inside the tank to the fuel pump
    1
  9722. Hope you called the customer.
    1
  9723. There was a hose inside the tank which he forgot.

  9724. You and ford boss....same sentiments today about folks doing half ass work....

  9725. This would be video #4 featuring 4 non-blondes in the opening ...0:15...before credits segment A sponsor?

  9726. There's probably no space because they wanted it to have that horrible pointy short front end for looks... 🙄
    1
  9727. Man I can tell you are unemployed! Your video quality is getting better and you have more time for drive by shots and dang you got close to the camera on that turn!
    1
  9728. I know you probably have a idea about painting that floor underneath but I just wanted to throw in a suggestion. I have used lots of specialty paints that wind up not being so special over time. Spray on Raptor Liner really works and seems to last forever.

  9729. Thank you Ray. Good Morning to you

  9730. Thanks!

  9733. You might want to paint the wood that is on the bottom.

  9734. Nothing against those guys you worked for. But, there is really nothing like working for yourself and building your own brand. Start your own mobile automotive service and use that trailer. Also, you can get some E track on the back and purchase a few trailer load bars.
    1
  9735. Ray, you may have already thought of this, but when you get to the point of buying a generator, spend the extra money and get an "automatic throttle-up" type generator. It will keep you from having a "wide-open" running generator when running light loads. Best wishes to you and your family!!

  9736. Yes, window 🪟 first, then wasps! 😅

  9757. The suppliers of the super alternator saved you a can of brake clean because their alternator is already supplied nice and shiny! 👍👍 I don't know if you have thought about this but since this setup is so important for your hurricane emergency power it might pay to keep a spare serpentine belt sitting at home so if this one breaks your emergency power also won't be down for long unlike the grid. With the super alternator installed you'll now have a mobile power source for a welding unit if the inverters can handle the draw. Cool eh! 😎 Thank You for the video.

  9758. Awesome video, the mvp of this video is the load tester.
    1
  9759. My friend has a GMC Yukon and it came with the standard 105 amp alternator from the factory. He replaced that one like 2 times. Then he got the upgraded 145 amp model which I believe was an option on these vehicles. He hasn't had any problems since.
    1
  9760. Ahhhh So you did upgrade your fuel lines to a double filter system. Good job. 🎉

  9770. Reeee! Reeee! You let water dribble out of the pan into the engine when you flipped the pan over! Reeee! Now the next 6 oil changes with be contaminated with water! Reeee! 🤣🤣🤣 Edit: Ray, hardware store lacquer thinner will make most silicone sealers release from metals they are bonded to. Usually just rubbing a thinner soaked shop rag on the old sealer will remove most or all of it with a little effort and no power tools needed, so the surfaces or gasket grooves aren’t scratched and damaged.

  9800. You actually don't have to remove anything. If by chance you think you will get into deep water, just unscrew the top of the box (still filtered air) and suck the air in the engine compartment until you are out of harms way. Problem solved.

  9808. Ok, I'll answer my own question. I closed the youtube tab and then opened another tab, got youtube, Ray, and audio. One of those wonders of PCs. Just close it and reopen it. We are not to know why, but it does not matter anyway. Glad it works now.

Totally agree in you showing Troy how to do everything you"re the teacher and he is the apprentice that way when he is working alone he will do things correctly. As regards to split pins I have always done what you do with the first part but the second part I push down to the flat of the Lug nut (Castellated nut)

  9853. The area to check for structural stability of the roof is at the roof truss to wall plate connection. That area receives maximum stress. It should have hurricane tie downs. Generally very hard to investigate or see except during the rough framing of the house. Btw, the metal clips are called sheathing clips. They aren't really part of the hurricane structure, they just limit the amount of differential movement of the sheathing, especially when roofers are walking on the roof.

  9862. Instead of adding another nader to the truck simply watch for a diesel generator. You have time. Craigs list, ebay, etc. They show up all the time. Military, industrial, etc. It could be 10 or 20 years before another hurricane hits like that. The last one that hit Punta Gorda was 18 years ago, Hurricane Charlie. The problem with buying those generators is it's easy to buy one that you can't move without heavy equipment. A 20 KVA gen will take around a 30 HP engine and I think that would be plenty of power. That's around 80 amps at 220. Sometimes you can find them with a forklift engine. Kubota, etc. You could probably move that by yourself without having to rent a forklift. The big thing is to make sure it's UL listed. I had a 20 KVA genset and I couldn't find anyone that would hook it to my house because it was a chinese gen head and no UL listing. That same gen head is used by a lot of farmers hooked up to their PTO.

  9872. Ray, those "plywood clips" aren't for wind, they would have no affect because they are too flimsy. They are more for when you're building and roofing the structure so that when you step on a joint between the rafters it doesn't crack the OSB. It's pretty weak stuff. You don't need them if one chooses to use 5/8" OSB or half inch actual Plywood.

  9875. Ray, if you set up your truck with the second alternator and converter with batteries you will be surprised at how often you'll use the setup for work and recreation purposes. When we were still camping and doing the rodeos for vacations and hobby we had that setup on our camper. I had always wished I had done the same in my work truck.

Despite all the problems we have in the old continent, and those we have in Italy, the news still speaks, after several days, of the destruction that IAN has brought. I'm sorry that you and your community have been affected. I wish you to return to the daily routine as soon as possible. Greetings Enrico.

  9882. My personal thought on using a smaller-sized pully is twofold. 1. The increase in the alternator speed will increase the wear of the alternator by increasing the speed and increasing the wear of the belt by the same amount. The engineers who designed this engine are pretty "smart dudes" and would see this as an increase for little gain. You could see how difficult the belt making that tight turn was with your video in slow motion. I experienced this on high-performance motorcycles too. Larger sprocket less wear and less lubrication needed. Just saying. I like the Lisle tool, they always seem to produce really neat tools, don't they.

  9890. Ray the slow-motion of the belt recorded was a good idea, I'm going to use that myself. Thanks for the idea!
    1
  9891. Reminds me of putting fan belts on a Beetle with a screwdriver... get the belt in place, jam a screwdriver in the pulley, and blip the starter motor... yeah, not like that was dangerous! :face-blue-wide-eyes:

  9904. Actually Ray, they USED to use it on Airplanes, but this has led to de-icing issues & crashes in the past. Now a days it's a mixture propylene glycol and other stuff: 'Type II fluids are pseudoplastic, which means they contain a polymeric thickening agent to prevent their immediate flow off aircraft surfaces. '

  9909. wait, you are HERE? well, it's pretty cold for a Floridian right now :D :D :D I cannot believe that a truck that old is that nice from this state. That pre-dates most car washes having underbody wash, probably has Ziebart rustproofing which was a joke, so it must not have seen much if any salt :D EDIT - trust me, we need AC in Michigan. 90+F with 100%+ Humidity, AC is the only way to fly.

  9912. Ray you know you deserve this lecture! Your little wife unit looked perturbed with your behavior which was naughty. Remember this as a young married couple DON'T POKE THE BEAR!

  9920. Ray, South Main Auto doesn’t have a penetrating oil troll. In the north, especially New York State and any salt areas many things are too rusty for penetrating oil to work at all or with many hours of soaking which isn’t usually an option. Eric O has tried many types in his videos and just doesn’t believe it works.

  9928. ​ @hydorah  I bet you didn't know the USA had no standing army until the early-1900s. Which is around the same time they passed the NFA, national firearms act, which violates the 2nd amendment. And the Sedition Act, which violates basically every right imaginable. Then in 1964, the "actual malice" requirement was added to defamation law, which violates the first and fourteenth amendment. I could go on. Do you understand now? Libertarianism is what this country was founded upon.

  9929. Yah I watch S.M.A alot. He's mocking the trolls. Same deal when using torque wrenches "off camera"

  9933. Lately it's Rainman's Hyundai Repairs
    1
  9934. Hi Ray, I hope you are having a great day. I have some food for thought for you. It is possible that if you were to include some of the below listed information in the video title that you may have your videos reach a wider audience. - Vehicle make, model, year, and miles - What mechanical work you are performing Reason this may increase your audience is that if someone were to search YouTube for keywords "Hyundai Sonata 2008 180,000 miles air intake issue" then your video would likely be listed. Consider expanding your videos into somewhat of a how to guide for those at home perhaps wanting to learn how to perform similar tasks and even novice mechanics being able to learn form your expertise in the art of vehicular tender loving care.

  9935. Did you just give us all The Bird or the Single Finger Salute?!
    1
  9936. you're full of crap the way you just put that ignition coil back you were just asking to cross thread it. you were right about one thing is that the previous ignition coil wasn't perfectly sealed. for a head gasket do a compression test and i haven't seen you do that . I haven't seen oil in coolant either so you might just be a gamic from a dealer scam for all i know. i work in diesel, so I've never heard of a head gasket doing misfires and in my opinion it isn't really possible however that window might just have a lose connection it wouldn't take more than a minute to acutely tight that up so it works.

  9937. Was that a huge hole in the bushing at 14.53? think you missed that one Ray!!!

  9958.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  yes, but again, it is an option, and usually they do have multiple different programs within the different finance companies, 90 days same as cash, etc.. Let's face it... is better than title loan companies or ankle express. Love your channel Ray... keep the videos coming!

  9959. Omg I hope this is a joke and someone didn't just calmly bring that thing to a shop and say "could u do an inspection for me?"

  9963. You thief, that nater had at least another 50 k on it, just had to spray some wd40 on the bearing 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. As far as the price of Alternator/Generators are concerned, back in the day, $80.00 for a new Nissan part was expensive, but as we know, new stuff has Mico Controllers in them, so basically you have a micro computer in your Alternator/Generators, so they are waaayyyyy more expensive. Also have you done an anniversary when you opened the shop video, if you did I missed it, I can't remember when you opened the shop. Anyway have a great day Youngin

  9978. Haha the battery is a spy...it was undercover!
    1
  9979. Ex Autozone commercial manager here, the reason why that has two stickers is because when the battery is sold to a diy (or in store)customer, we know the battery is actually from the store sold to a average customer, when the battery is sold to a commercial account (or a automotive shop) the parts driver is the pull that sticker off to change the label to a commercial sale only battery. That helps the store indicate that if the battery sold becomes a return for any reason, we can determine where it actually came from. For example if a average customer decided to return a commercial battery, we know not to accept it because they shouldn’t have that battery to being with. And vice versa. There are other reasons why the sticker changes for example: branding, battery tier, etc. but the lost prevention is the most important aspect for that sticker change. So next time a shop gets a battery with out the sticker change, make sure to tell the parts dude to do his job! Also yes the stickers always say the same specs as the last sticker on the battery. Just the branding changes.

  9986.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  If you first twist the wires together and then heat the wires sufficiently the solder will wick through the wires. You heat the wires, touch the solder to the wires, and let the heat and capillary action do the rest. Other than to tin the soldering iron tip, you generally do not touch the solder to the soldering iron tip.

  10006. One of those cartridges is either .223 or 5.56. I think the one with the red band is a 5.45×39mm. Pew Pew.

  10029. Oh boy, pandoras box not only opened but kicked in. Tip, let that new carpet sit in the sun to help it wrinkle out. And as nasty as it sounds, your old carpet will make a great template for cuts and hole allignment. Great respect for your content.
    1
  10030. We took bets that you'd end up pulling the dash at the beginning of Part 1. 🤣

  10031. Ray, rotate your seats every 20,000 miles to keep them wearing equally. Saves the driver seat from dispair. Tip of the day.
    1
  10032. Now would be a great time to install some sound damping material on the roof.
    1
  10033. I have a 2000 silverado, tempted by rock auto with a new carpet. Truck looked like a new truck so much I bought a set of new radio buttons from amazon (some chinese thing), took radio apart, popped in new buttons. Now it really looks like a new truck.

  10044. @RainmanRaysRepairs  lol I had to bust the balls on that one. Good videos man

  10055. Both pronunciations - "K-nipex" and "Nipex" are acceptable according to some research I did on the Knipex YouTube channel. I watched all the videos in English and German languages and tallied the presenters' usage. It was about 55% "K-nipex" to 45% "Nipex" At the time (about 6 years ago) there were about 30 videos in each language, there's probably 10 times that now so I ain't doing it again.

  10056.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  Just enabling or disabling the air horn... Should be good enough, because that monstrosity completely overpowered the stock horns. Thank you for your answer, Sir. And have a great day, too!

  10061. great channel, i am watching you more then a year. you really progressed as a youtuber over the years but i have one thing to mention: you really have great tools, great brands, much better what i have as a mechanic, but you have very bad lighting equipment. when you need to adjust the lighting 10 times in a video, or at the other video the "lumen gravity" happen more then 5 times - maybe you need better magnetic or clip lighting, maybe few more light so less chance to get lights falling or adjusted.

  10062. Ray I can't tell if you're trolling or not 😂 it's deffo a silent K. You don't say k-nighted, k-now or k-nuckle and if you do, you need to have a word with yourself 😂😂😂😂

  10063. According to the company you pronounce the K. The even made T-shirts, it's pronounced "Kuh-nip-X"

  10073. Wheel spacers are fine, if they fit right. They need to be hubcentric and not too wide. At least 70% of the BMW crowd runs 12 or 15mm spacers. We also run longer bolts to make sure there are enough threads to bolt them on securely. I think it needs to be clarified though, that whats on this car, is not spacers. They're adapters of some sort. Spacers would sit on the same studs as what holds the wheels on and use a single set of lug nuts, not 2. Thats the biggest problem with these. To do it properly, he needs real hubcentric spacers, and longer studs, not some cheapo generic crap.

  10074. You, of course, realize you over torqued the passenger side front caliper bracket top bolt. You stated "click" and then came back and tightened it further......lol

  10076. Sorry, guy, but the first time when you were way over there by your cart talking, the sound of your voice faded. I think your new remote mic failed.

  10077.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  Ok was just curious, thanks Ray :)

  10080. Audio was doing well until the 21 min mark then lots of surrounding noise. Maybe Dave was working on a loud engine.

  10081. Your fan sounds good, but you, not so much.
    1
  10082. The audio sounds good to me listening on a single AirPod.

  10083. Audio was great until 21:30 mark, then it faded. Audio recovered at 38:40.

  10084. funny to you say zero gauge wire when in the industry it is called 1/aught written like 1/0 and 2/aught 2/0 and up to 4/0 then goes to mcm size lol. 😀

  10085.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  I hope you took this as constructive criticism. I respect you and Lauren and enjoy your channel.

  10086. I've seen someone push a caliper piston out while compressing the other side! Not only does it ruin a caliper seal it makes a huge mess. Have a great memorial day weekend!!

  10087. Very good point ref 2+ callipers off at the same time and pushing/winding pistons back in. I can honestly say I’ve not known a YouTuber mention that at all before

  10088. WEIGHT A MINUTE! You cleaned the spot on the wheel AFTER the machine told you where to put the weight! By cleaning the wheel you've completely changed the weight distribution! You FAILED! Now you'll need to start all over! Moo-ha-ha! ;-)

  10091. Thank you for the good grammar. Few have the ability anymore and they have no appreciation for trying to speak right. As a matter a fact most would prefer to sound like a hillbilly.
    1
  10092. Your way of communicating used to be the way Americans spoke, before the dumbing down edumacation.
    1
  10093. Your speech is your signature. Do not change anything. It is actually very enjoyable to listen to your style and the way you sometimes emphasize that you master grammar and vocabulary. And how you sometimes throw in signature phrases from other automotive youtubers. Genius. However, I have a suggestion for improvement. When you do PHAD's signature "woohoo", don't overdo it.
    1
  10094. i like the way you speak! 🙏❤️💪
    1
  10095. im surprised you didnt light the area first. guess no need for it now days. the plug patch combo is a new one for me. i like your choice of words personally . it gives me a laugh lol. good vid
    1
  10096.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  I agree and was aware of that as it was being said. I would have been ok with just about any other language choice, maybe something about policy and liability but what actually got said was both factual statement and wrong which makes it a lie in my book, intentional or not.

  10097. And i build those tires at the Lawton Goodyear tire plant

  10102. "I don't see nothing." Really, after that speech you just gave? hahaha
    1
  10103. You don't have to explain yourself about the way you talk and use grammar. Everybody is different, all around the country, we're not all the same. There's nothing wrong with wanting to use proper grammar, etc. I do it too. Whoever said that about you, obviously doesn't have to watch your videos or if it was in person, then they don't have to hang around you, screw them? Love your videos! From Bradenton/Sarasota, FL!

  10104. You ain't from around here boy?

  10108. Wonder how many people were typing out about the "missing" valve stem cap before the video ended, lol, (I noticed it btw, but I know you well enough by now you probably left it off on purpose to troll people, he he he). Anyway, nothing wrong how you speak in your videos or in real life. You present your work in a manner that an average bum like me can understand, and being more articulate as you are gets your point across clearly. The people who have issues with it are the ones with the problem, not you.

  10109. Keep up the good work Ray nice have you back

  10110. Rad. I need to do a rack like this and hadnt seen or thought about loosening up the subframe. Im honesty a 20+ year mechanic and learn a ton from your videos. Thanks.

  10112. Hey ray I hope you are doing excellently. Don't forget you are making hours of content and it's ok to receive money for your work. I don't mean open a Patreon but make this gig pay the house expenses at least. Grow both businesses

  10127. Sounds more winey.. and tunnel effect like reverb is twangy too much.. and background noise is way more white noisey and can hear background too much:. So not good in my opinion...

  10128. Class of '73 thank you
    1
  10129. Hey Ray when you said class of 03 that made me kind of sad I forgot how old I am when you were born I was starting high school lol it’s crazy how time flies bye, I just live one day at a time so everybody out there in Rayland Have a great wonderful Labor Day weekend and be safe.
    1
  10130. The sound has been very good for a while. A year ago it was terrible, sounded like you were under water
    1
  10131. Unless it’s a vintage car, they usually have a clutch switch to prevent cranking unless it was depressed. I know my 2002 and 2015 BMWs had. And I think my 1992 Volvo 240 did. Whereas my 1972 Plymouth Duster did not, nor my 1960 Plymouth Valiant.
    1
  10132. I thought the audio was better, although I really did not have a problem with the audio before.
    1
  10133. Important note with the 3m finger discs…. You CAN remove aluminum with them if you get carried away….
    1
  10134. Class of '03 here too 👍

  10135. Seems that the audio is more clear and consistent to me. The really loud sounds seem toned down a bit

  10136. class of '98 Here!

  10137. Class of 1975, you young whipper snapper

  10139. Microphone is awesome Ray, great sound! And u didnt forget my Bews, lol!!!
    1
  10140. Audio is better, less resonance with the lift motor and air tool
    1
  10141. I like the audio. Ambient sounds in the garage ++ as long as your voice is clear. (Cause I don't know what I'd do without the "doodle-doodle's... lol) EDIT: Voice was a bit low on the second video.
    1
  10142. Your floor mat was upside-down

  10143. Loved your VISITOR

  10144. The bird....is the word.
    1
  10145. Went to the start of the video. And the stain was present before you sat in the car. Every mechanic should record so they have proof.
    1
  10146. Your rambling is good. You bring up good subjects that most people don't understand. Hopefully the less intelligent learn from it. 👍
    1
  10147. Looked at the beginning and yes, the stain was there before you got into the car.
    1
  10148. discombobulated.... love it
    1
  10149. Just weld the pliers to the bracket! Heh heh I know; Objection! Hearsay!

  10150. I noticed the floor protector was backwards instantly. I can't begin to tell you how fast. Instant

  10151. The ending if the video: How to you tell you're in Florida without saying that you are🙂
    1
  10152. Ray.. in regards to your comment about the difference in bulb locations. You are correct in this day.. however if you own a Saturn it's the opposite.
    1
  10153. Nooooo that's not a Ballast and Bulb, it's an Igniter and Bulb, there's still a ballast down in the bottom of the light. D1S moved the igniter to the bulb because I guess something to do with keeping the high frequency high voltage near the bulb for bulb startup, where as D2S has the igniter and ballast as a single unit and then the bulb. You can still have a failed ballast in a D1S system, but it's not very common that OEM ballasts fail unless they've been water/impact damaged or someone has ran a worn out of defective bulb for a very long period of time...or they just have bad luck. Also not just upselling but the other side bulb will be dead soon, if that was a bumper off bulb replacement I'd sell a pair of bulbs.
    1
  10154. Man, I wish you would have warned me about the "discombobulated" bit because I was rather intoxicated at the time, and I almost lost my lunch.

  10155. That helicopter was the Snap On warranty police. The construction equipment operator and the bird were undercover agents. Or maybe the bird heard you were tapping bread into pilot bearings.

  10160. Never to be seen again..next stop will be the junk yard in Indiana.
    1
  10161. Honestly can't blame customers asking for the minimum. Unfortunately there are many mechanics and shops out there that aren't as honest as you. Yet another industry where workers are underpaid or rushed and do shady things to make more money. You and other honest mechanics are a rare commodity.
    1
  10162. Hahaha Great intro.
    1
  10163. I agree. No car would leave my shop with water instead of proper coolant. Water would doom the customer to a water pump failure and a breakdown. If a customer doesn't like it then he can take his car to CrapRepairs down the street.
    1
  10164. It might be back needing a engine
    1
  10165. If the customer found out that you put in antifreeze/coolant rather than the water that was requested, and was able to prove that his request was not met, would that be grounds for a refund or potential legal action because of breach of contract?
    1
  10166. the scrapyard. lol.
    1
  10167. It's a shame when people don't look after their vehicles. Then blame everyone else when they go wrong. I guess some folks have been ripped off before and then become wary. No excuse for filling with water though, once the fault has been fixed. That Chrysler didn't seem too bad. A little TLC would bring it round. That thermostat looked so easy to access. I've worked on a whole lot worse.
    1
  10168. Some clowns are just so cheap! When will people realise that fixing things before they blow up is actually a good thing 🙄
    1
  10169. That intro.

  10181.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  100% agree, specially with a mustang, we all know how they self guide towards humans. That guy is lucky AF that the oncoming vehicle moved out of the way. Unbelievable.
    1
  10182. Wow that's scary
    1
  10183. well if you don't find him check the morg .. Sadly It will catch up to him one way or the other. You think those race events they would have Speed Traps setup to catch them .. Glad your Safe ..

    1
  10200. Done some stupid shit but this is just reckless.
    1
  10201. You see this a lot here in Texas. I think I just might do the same thing and get dash and rear cameras myself. Idiots like this don’t need to be driving.
    1
  10202. For all the noise it made it didn’t take off to match it 😂
    1
  10203. WOW!!
    1
  10204. Here's problem though - At best that's passing in a no passing zone, and a reckless driving charge because you have no way of proving how fast he was going (the speed off the OBD2 port into your dashcam doesn't count either, not certified, wouldn't hold up in court). *AND*, no one actually got hurt. The law prosecutes based on has happened, not what could have happened. Also - If you continued to follow him, escalated the situation, then got physical, then HE would have a self-defense case *against you*. I'm also gonna guess that between the type of work you do and the type of person he is driving like that... you probably are both armed too... and then that could end your children having no father over this guy driving like an idiot. You don't strike me as an idiot, so I'm guessing that's why you didn't pursue him... not because "you didn't feel like it". It freaking blows man, but that's how our legal system works. I hope somebody will drop a dime on him, and the police can get him to admit that it was him. Given that this person sees nothing wrong with driving like that, chances are pretty good he's been rung up for doing dumb crap before, and this would get his off the road for while.
    1
  10205. I hope he ends up losing his license, car and freedom.
    1
  10206. First

  10207. send it to ole cleeter...if he finds out who it is i doubt he'd let it go.

  10210. Wise move not escalating this into a disaster. A cop I once knew called idiots like this organ donors.
    1
  10211. With his lights off, what a @#$%. I hope you called FHP.
    1
  10212. The dude was gunning it and barely pulling on a giant diesel truck if he was going to the track i hope he goes last so he doesnt clog up the line with a 18 second quarter mile.

  10213. Nice car bad driver.
    1
  10214. Maybe someday he will stop by your shop and want you to fix his car. 🤣🤣

  10215. MorOn! That’s not driving skills
    1
  10216. I will get a dashcam for xmas
    1
  10217. I give it 48hrs before they are caught. Law enforcement doesn't screw around when it comes to this lack of safty. Flying by is 1 thing, but risking 2 other lives, that's another.
    1
  10218. 64 is a bad road , seems like everyone speeds and passing in no passing zones .
    1
  10219. I've called the police on people like this and they don't care
    1
  10220. WOW! I've done some incredibly dumb and very questionable things in my life, but this takes the cake. And doing all this with your lights out with side streets meeting onto the road like that. I hope that whoever is in charge of the police force buries that scum under the prison.
    1
  10221. Do you mean the Freedom Factory??
    1
  10222. He started spinning on that dirt in the center lane I had a mustang do that only difference he spun out slapped the curb some people have no brain be safe out there

  10225. wouldnt be surprised if he turns himself into you for that smooth $1k he could use it to help speed up that crustang side note wouldnt it be funny to see that car come into your shop one day
    1
  10226. It would be nice to see the McFarland Racing crew pick them up

  10227. See, now this is why I need forward mounted machine guns and rocket launchers behind the grill of my car, press a button, grill comes down, turd is no more. Just kidding.

  10229. I hope you find that female dog.

  10230. I only have a front facing. Need to add a rear. Louisiana is horrible with drivers. In 10 min encountered 4 with no lights on, lost count of how many just drive along with high beams on all the time. The. There’s the idiots that swerve through traffic to save .00000001 seconds. I carry full coverage due to how many uninsured here
    1
  10231. It'd be funny if that shit ended up in your garage.

  10232. You also need to aim your passenger headlight.

  10234. Rainman Ray- Traffic Avenger 🤘 Add to resume,sir. Seriously though, what a dickweed. Glad nobody got hurt. This is also when it's beautiful to live in a smaller town. He will be found.

  10235. That dude is going to kill someone it is people like that that should not have a licence at all i have avoided getting killed so may times on the road it isn't even funny even on the highway i have avoided being killed by big mack trucks even walmart trucks my road that live on there are lots of kids that play outside & some of the people that drive drive as fast as this car did i always scream & swear at them i see them doing it one night women was driving this fast & not only that but was going the wrong way on my street right thru a intersection if people were coming on the other road she most likely would have killed someone i yell alot for people going down my one way street hope you turn him in

  10240. and didn't forget the tip jar...

  10241. Ray, can you make sure Cleetus McFarland sees this? This is right by his house, shop, and track, and I'm sure he wouldn't condone this behavior in his community (locale as well as car communities). I think, with his following and connections, he can help figure out who this idiot is.

That’s really really dangerous especially at night he needs to go to the race track and kill him self if that’s what he wants to do not innocent people that’s what I don’t understand about today’s teenagers they just don’t give a flying crap. God bless you my brothers and sisters please be careful out there there’s crazy people on the road and they don’t care. ✝️✝️✝️

  10278. Sadly, it's these types of A-holes who end up killing someone in a wreck and they themselves walk away uninjured, then pretend to be remorseful for the judge. Hopefully karma, whatever that may be, catches up with them without anyone else getting hurt in the process.
    1
  10279. Doesn't Cleetus McFarland own Desoto? Pretty sure he renamed it Freedom Factory. Might be able to reach out to him, or send him this video so it has wider reach in his audience. I know he advocates being safe - even if he doesn't always practice it.

  10300. Being a electrician with 40 years I think enough electrician have commented on correct wire installation methods……Lets discuss proper use of colours for tape……black is for wire connections…..Red is for bandages…..it helps cover the colour of blood….😂😂😂😂😂

  10310. I’m NOT an electrician but yeah I saw a few cringe-worthy moments. When I decided to do some electrical work on n my home (mainly replacing switches and outlets, not actual rewiring), I found a lot of great guidance from two channels in particular: Sparky Channel and ElectricianU. Most of all, safe practices for the person doing the job, and best practices for the finished work.
    1
  10311. I don’t follow you as much for the content as for your personality/presentation.🤷‍♂️
    1
  10312. My apology's Ray. I jumped the gun on that one. I am very glad you made the corrections! Give little Ray a hug!
    1
  10313. Yeh Ray, super sketchy electrical. Just be careful. Electrons will bite you. I’m a electron manager ( electrician) by trade. I’ve been bit a few times. 👍
    1
  10314. Good day to you! Awesome project you got going on here, only thing I saw that looks to be dangerous is you’re using 20 amp breakers with what looks like 14 gauge wire. Should be 15 amp breakers, if it’s 14 gauge. If the wire is 12 gauge, then 20 amp is fine. This is because if you overload the 14 gauge wire with a 20 amp breaker, you can over heat and possibly melt the wire/shielding and the breaker won’t trip till it’s too late, as it’s over rated for the wire gauge being used.
    1
  10315. Hopefully this video wont be followed up with a "my trailer burnt down" video...

  10316. Oh the cringes!!! 🤐 Sorry Ray. I really didn't want to give you a "REEEEEE!!!" I never thought I was capable of giving you a "REEEEEE!!!". But here we are... There comes a moment in everyone's life where certain sacrifices must be made. Forget cotter pins... sketchy wiring is what damages MY soul!!!😵‍💫 😂😂😂

It was a supernatural creature that could be anything you wanted. There's a wiki page on the little guy. It's appropriate the sealant be called school as it is the right stuff.

  10366. Sorry, Ray. I have to say it. I thought it was awful funny that you put it in neutral to push it into the shop. I said sorry!! lol 😂 great video Ray I watch you all the time. And have learned a lot from you so thank you for that.

    1
  10374. The customer probably had them napkins in the glove box and they were sucked out with the blower. That’s kind of a bad design on Jeep.

  10416. The oil temp sensor is located in the oil sump. Oil temp and oil level sensor is the same unit. If there is goodies on the intake valves, then you should have a misfire. Not all the times, but 90% of the times. You can check the intake valves with a inspection camera. Go through the intake pressure switch.  @Rainman Ray's Repairs

You said "I really don't know what I'm doing" , everyone else was doing it differently when refilling, should have taken the hint, looks like an expensive piece of equipment. Come on Ray make us proud

    1
  10424. My Dude, I continually see you squeezing grease out and making a mess. Don't make us crazy. Surely you know the grease gun tips can be turned to make them grip tighter, right?
    1
  10425. Sorry I have to REEEEEE I just watched video about final drive oil change, you supposed to leave middle plug hole open when you filled it, when it starting come out of there, its full, no need to fill it all the way upper hole. I hope this do not ruin that final drive, too much oil can be bad sometimes. Do you need now remove that center plug and let oil level come down. :) Its oil level check hole.
    1
  10426. You're not supposed to fill the final drive completely up with oil. You drained the oil correctly but filled the final drive incorrectly. When the oil is finished draining turn the final drive until the drain hole is towards the top. DO NOT PUT THE CENTER PLUG BACK INTO THE FINAL DRIVE. Fill the final drive until oil comes out of the center hole. Then put both plugs back into the final drive. Overfilling the final drive will blow oil seals out of the final drive.
    1
  10427. Ray, I harbor a fear that you may have overfilled the final drive units. The center plug, you know the one painted white, on each side is likely a weep hole that will start dripping when the gear oil reaches the proper level - just like the plug on the back of many rear differential cases. Note that only a very small amount of oil came out of that plug when you removed it before diminishing. to an insignificant trickle.

  10452. That BG Frigiclean is good stuff, have been plagued with the AC musty smell in my wife unit's car, every shop I'd taken it to just shrugged and said it was the cabin filter. One application of the BG got rid of the majority of it.

  10453. 13:03 Electrostatic Charged? 🤔 I have an Electrostatic Charged air filter on my HVAC system in my house. The filter has a wire element inside of the filter and must have low voltage power to it to function properly. 😶 I might question that as a viable selling/marketing statement or claim of Electrostaticly-Charged filter material, and its abilities to filter the air better in this instance. Is this filter drawing VOLTAGE to keep it NEGATIVELY CHARGED? 🤔 Just because the fabric within the Cabin Air Filter was negatively charged at one time, doesn't mean that it will always be that way forever. EXAMPLE: Static Electricity from your clothes dryer, rubbing your stocking feet on carpet. 😉

  10456. Honda tried that on me last month. I declined. When I picked up my vehicle I turned the fan on high and it started making a loud noise. I pulled back in and told them that is going on. A mechanic came out and pulled the filter out. Upon doing that the filter was still full of leaves and some had fell down into the motor. Sorry work. They could have atleast shook out the leaves before putting the filter back in

  10486. Can't wait to read all the negative comments! Not how many others would just be on the side of the road waiting to be towed in. It might have a few issues but it doesn't leave you stranded. Every model has known issues the Chevy still uses a lifter that has been an issue for decades(well known issues) so it's not just one company because if the last too long they don't have repeat sales!!

  10506. Everyone is missing the point. When you are just starting out as a machanic by changing tires your loosing money and when you have bills it hurts.
    1
  10507. Ray, the system you described has been broken for way too long. Back in the 70s and 80s when I was a GM tech, my main beef about the flat rate scale was when we did warranty work it was so unfair to the tech. You could NOT do the job for what GM's "book" paid. And the dealership had us on a 60/40 pay, where you guess who got the 60? I was not sad when I left in the mid 80s. I couldn't afford to work like that anymore. And, when you add the $$$ in tools the tech has to have, the knowledge they have to have, the system is so stacked against you making money it is not even funny. And what if the dealership/shop doesn't have any work for you. And you sit around - for days. Does someone one pay for that? No. Might be why the quality of techs is lowering as the ones with experience leave the field. Okay, off my soap box...
    1
  10508. With your understanding of what we go through why don't you open your own shop. Women(your wife) get business grant and low interest loans to open a business. With the right people (2 more techs) you would do great. If I had a little more money to live on I would still have my shop. Don't go in under funded trust me.
    1
  10509. This entire dialogue should be running thru Rays head in his new business/shop.
    1
  10510. Everything you said & more . i always was the one to change torch tanks,lube barrels ,etc. because nobody else wanted to cut into their flat rate. Not to mention fixing company equipment so that I could use it
    1
  10511. That is a faulty BCM, more than likely left tail light will be dimly illuminated when powered down, hence the draw.... Remove bulbs to see if draw disappears, check light unit connectors for melting, check earth for the tail light units, once the fault is rectified you'll be able to communicate again.
    1
  10512. I agree with you that it's the alarm system activating, all the best to you and your loved ones

  10513. The .666 amperage draw may be an indication of demonic possession, Jeep/Chrysler diagnostics in fact has a specific format for vehicle excorcism.

As a Diesel technician, You talking about starting bolts at 30.00m Is my #1 way of knowing more is Probably messed up if the last person couldn't even take the time to start all the Bolts, It's usually a shade tree repair facility, Not saying a good tech can't work under a tree, Most don't unless they have too🤓

  10526. Enjoy your vids. Entertaining and informative. Thanks
    1
  10527. Great videos rainman don't bother with the non-believers, lol , I am just messaging you about a previous video. I don.t know how to send a private message on youtube but you did an oil and filter change on a diesel engine in which you stated that you don.t fill the filter before installing. I am an industrial mechanic, similar but different, I work on diesel hydraulic canes. I was told by the gentleman I took over from that always fill the filter before installation. After watching your video it made sense. So I checked the Cummins owner manual and they do recommend filling the filter. I think each is right in principal, maybe because ours has a turbo might be the difference? Sorry about your wrist

I woundered how long before thy begin to irritate you with the noise.... Well. I have my answer. I take no pleasure from it. Now. I'm looking forward a year or two when you you buy them out to expand. Yes. You can. We are so behind you. I actually believe these vids you post make you a better tech/businessman... Go Ray & Laren... never forgetting the support team - who make you who you are... so please stop 'hazing' Troy - less he leaves and takes his loverly lady with him....❤

"Irregardless", considering or thinking of in a specified way, by emphasizing it not being a lack of regard; IOW a double negative; e.g. I am considerate because I do not have a lack of regard.

  10543. Ray, whatever this family member is doing/saying, eventually the others listening to it will realize that person is toxic and will no longer listen to them. But if you let it bother you and think too much about it, then that toxic relative will be winning, do not dwell on it. That is what they want. I like to let it go and hope/pray that Karma is a true thing, and they will get theirs eventually.

  10544. I feel mislead .... Scotty Kilmer preaches that the Toyota Sienna is the greatest near bulletproof mini van ever made . Can they actually suffer from the ravages of time , neglect , lack of maintenance ? Is wear and major component failure possible ? Be still my heart .

  10550. I am not kidding Ray, I have Steel toad shoes that are more comfortable than regular shoes!!!
    1
  10551. Dude, protip on the shoes: They actually make steel toed shoes with high tops sealing the sides. It's LIKE a steel toed work boot, but they are SO much lighter, and just as effective. They're like 40 bucks at Wally World, and definitely work checking out sometime! Also, side note: 'Indestructible shoes' are anything but so don't waste your money. THEY ARE JUNK!!!!

  10555. Hey Ray, sorry to hear that you've been dealing with a member of the extended family who has willfully decided to trash the relationship ... I unfortunately understand a little to well the harm, damage and trauma such things can cause. I can only hope that time and distance allows you and your family to process the trauma and find a way forward, with or without that member of the extended family being a part of your lives.
    1
  10556. Does seem clapped out. But I seem to recall a couple of Jeeps in the not too distant past that were as bad (arguably MUCH worse) that you actually took on the test circuit. Thought you were pretty brave then, but I'm glad you have become more discerning about how you choose to live your life (for all of us to enjoy daily).

  10563. Hey Ray, did I catch you using a PTT pocket screwdriver? That would be awesome, since working on a Ford truck, lol 😂. Whew, that has to be an expensive repair job. The reason your customer must have is that it’s a King Ranch model. And to replace that truck, would cost them $80-100k. I know lots of people putting a lot of money into their older vehicles, as opposed to buying a new one. Great job Ray😁👍

I killed my first car 1984 Oldsmobile Omega in the rust belt by changing the brakes, lol, the subframe fell out rusted through. Keep doing what your doing. Im also surprised it didn't need a new engine anyway leaking oil from just about anywhere it could have, they must have been adding oil driving down the street.

  10579. You're sort of correct, if the sensor is faulty and making the ECM believe the engine is lean, it will compensate and increase fuel. This will foul the sensor with soot, but won't change the problem since the sensor is providing incorrect info still.

  10580. RAY, i recently posted here that i had a flashing engine light on my 2005 honda accord, po175, it turned out to be a faulty coil on the #4 cylinder.

  10603. As I reviewed some of the comments. I am beginning to think that Ray wanted to put the unlisted Wife Unit link for his "Merch" up. Don't think I didn't notice that. ... and yes I know that Ray does not like to use the term "Merch" ;)
    1
  10604. I posted this in the comments on the day he released the video I think it was at like 28; 16 in the video if I remember right. Ray is still the best and everybody makes mistakes only real men admit it and we all learn from them. I was yelling at the tv my wife said "You do know Ray can't hear you right?""

  10606. no problem at all they are blue towels so you know they are good.

  10607. Not sure if you know this, or even if you will read this, but to install the bearings and spacer with ease try the hot bearing method. Put some motor oil in a fry pan, enough to cover the bearing fully. Heat the oil to about 300 degrees f, then drop the bearing in the oil and let it heat for at least 10 minutes. Remove bearing with metal tongs (hot) and just drop it on the axle, it will drop down into position, cool, then become set once cooled. (about 30 seconds) Do the same for the spacer, and you're done. Cheers from Winnipeg.
    1
  10608. I thought the title was clickbait. No, you did a good job destroying that bearing. Good job 👍.

  10624. Ray very interesting that you use "the diesel pot cast" clip in this video! He's covered some very interesting and informative topics, one of the best was with Vinny Himes (Leadfoot Diesel) in reference to shops working on modified trucks with the EPA monitoring so closely, but it was explained that if the mods are being done or repaired during whatever work is being done that there is harm, foul or penality for working on those vehicles. It's just recommended that you record and document that's how the vehicle arrived. Great job explaining the idle balance, needed an old musce car idling with a heavy cam to show that even on gas vehicles the idle being rough doesn't mean that the engine doesn't run well. The ole rough choppy sounds all out of wack idle of non computer engines. By the way no such critter as a VIN number; VIN is the abbreviation for Vehicle Identification Number , so saying VIN number is saying , vehicle identification number number!!

  10628. Ray, please continue making videos. Your videos always educate me in what you’re passionate about. If I had a choice, you would be my choice technician working on my vehicles.

  10629. No sir, you can't.. We're too invested in you as you are invested in this channel. Will be waiting for the upcoming success project.. Hopefully it would come as a replacement lift, or an expansion of the shop, or another joint project with the guys to help another lovely family ❤❤ As a wise man once said; I know I'm super glad to be here 😊

  10634. Hey Ray! I hardly never post anything here but I always look forward to watching your videos every morning with coffee before work. I’ve been watching your videos since you were at the dealership.I hope you continue to make more videos. Take care!

  10635. It’s 2024. I feel like a lot of people start their day with a quota they want to get offended at and just search for anything to complain about.

  10636. Lmao I feel like Ray was trolling his trolls in this video who say he doesn't do quality work. Real facts I'd gladly take my trucks to him without any concern

  10649. I used change oil on big trucks with 2qt oil filters. They were heavy and of course in a tight spot so I sharpened a metal rod and punched a little hole in the filter bottom and drained it before I unscrewed it

You show great integrity and strength of character by not editing out stuff ups. Your ability to execute tasks with one hand, is GOBBSMACKING!!!! Your monologue is totally fekin hilarious...I love how you "mess" with the English language....you *could be a stand up philosopher, dressed up as an auto service tech?? As they say in the classics... "What's not to like?" Cheers and take care from me, here on the West coast of Australia 🦘🦘🦘 .

  10682. First oil change?! Doesn't the filter seam tiny. I just changed the one on my '65 Corvair and that's huge. Also, who knew an oil change could be so much fun. 😂

  10683. Those the Skyactive technology make it easier to go up on the lift? 😂😂 If everything else fails read the manual☹

  10684. I didn’t see you torque the oil fill cap properly…mechanics always cutting corners.
    1
  10685. This reminds me of "Why I Don't Have A Car" after 5-yrs. without one (Actually getting close to six years) I just don't have the money for a car anymore...the prices on repairs are just too much for me to pay
    1
  10686. Dude, If anybody is watching this and it is their first time watching your videos they are going to think you’re nuts with the torque wrenches lol, They won’t understand the sarcasm and the attack against armchair mechanics and haters. Fucking excellent video...

  10687. Ray, the shop still use gf5 oil? My timing chain will lose protection and gonna break! Reeeeeee! Glad you enjoy the oil change work!
    1
  10688. Rays in a silly mood today. These people just got the most high tech oil change they will ever receive and don't even know it.
    1
  10689. REEEEEEEEEE! YOU DID NOT USE A SPECIALIZED SET OF TORQUE PLIERS TO SET OPTIMUM TORQUE TO THE OIL FILL CAP AND THE OIL FILTER ASSEMBLY! I AM A PROFESSIONAL AND EVERYTHING I DO IS RIGHT! (Seriously though, this was hilarious)

  10716. Did you retrieve your light from the driver's side rear spring mount? Saw it there on the first drive segment. Also, I learned something from the Lexus SUV inspection. I tried holding down the hatch open button and it closed on my Audi. I had been disappointed when the Lexus did it and Offroad Mechanic showed Hyundai's do it but I didn't think mine would do it.

  10722. Guess you need to add another 41 quarts of 14W-40 to compensate for the leak.
    1
  10723. I believe there was to much adhesive added to the rubber gaskets but only a oil lubricant gasket works the best. Ray I know you take pride in your work great job the second time 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾😎

  10724. See what happens when you try to be funny and blow up the internet with a joke video installing an oil filter all wrong? It's called karma! 🧚 ... Just kidding. More like, "car" - meh.🤷 (S*** happens.)

  10727. Second video with no captions. That made me sad. I need those captions. Great video tho Ray
    1
  10728. Wow nice job Ray, you've effectively restored my faith in the headlight resto
    1
  10729. Coming from the homeland „des Autos“: here in Germany polishing the headlights is actually illegal. Reason being that polishing reduces the material thickness thus compromising and reducing the material strength. You might find that silly, but this law still stems from a time when cars still had glass headlights. And it has never been changed. Here, your only option is a new set of headlights, maybe aftermarket. But because of the tight German regulations, those are as good as the genuine VW part. That’s because every part that’s relevant to safety has to have a KBA testing (Kraftfahrtbundesamt, which is something like the DOT in the US).
    1
  10730. I speak German, "Das Auto" simply means "the car". I know it's a marketing trrademark for VW, but it is factually correct to call any vehicle "das auto" (any car at least). The BMW and Benz snobs need to step back a little and relax. What they drive are just cars.

  10733. Report back in 6 months on this job.
    1
  10734. "Das auto" is german for "the car". Litterally every German car could be called "das auto". In fact, if you had a non-German car and wanted to say "Park the car" in german you'd say "Parke das auto." So, sir, you are technically correct... The best kind of correct.

  10756. Hey Ray. Your resident 5.7 guru here. And I'll level with you - there is no 'one fix' here. I can tell you that the parts cannon has been fired incorrectly. I cannot tell you one concrete path because there isn't one. However, there's an entire checklist. One, crank position sensor. "But there's liquid fuel in there!" Yes; in intermittent CKP fault, no code is set for this MY unless repeated CKP faults occur over multiple drive cycles. Even if enough CKP faults occur to stall the car. If a subsequent drive cycle is clean, CKP is back to OK. Next up, purge solenoid at the wires. As mentioned, the relays may stick. And the wiring system doesn't guarantee fault detection. Check to see if activation holds. Now you're going "why not the MCV?!" Because you don't have codes. Mopar is SD not AF. When the MCFV sticks, you get a lot more raw fuel and you get a PCM emergency shutdown (4F79 exceed, I think it's a U-code on '06) in permanent history with a P017x too rich or trim malfunction. Not a P02xx. But unfortunately (or fortunately) the customer description is also pointing me to the PCV system. Which is absolutely terrible on these, and prone to failure. Pop the PCV hose. If you've got liquid oil? You're doing PCV ($15-40, 0.15 hours) and probably PCV bridge seals (split the intake manifold and do all the seals, the PCV bridge seals are separate - 53032384AB, qty2.) If you have ANY evidence of an oil leak at the intake manifold? All the intake manifold and PCV gaskets. If the customer ALSO has observed a noticeable change in fuel mileage - either improved or decreased - then it's probably PCV. SUPER CRITICALLY IMPORTANT: DO NOT BREAK THE PLASTIC INTAKE MANIFOLD!! One, it's $1000 ($500 per half.) Two, it's on 6+ month national backorder. Lubricate the PCV O-ring with ONLY engine oil before installing it. Anything else will foul the PCV, and you'll never get it in without lubing it. "Wait, stop, I have fuel here. How does this explain it? It doesn't!" Ah, but it does! Because the PCV is directly connected to that same vacuum source. Yay. (Told you it was bad design!) And if it's none of those, well, let me know. edit: to elaborate on PCV vs purge a bit, it's all the same vacuum system. And the PCV is prone to surge and clog. Particularly when the wrong oil is used (5W20 full synthetic only! Seriously. It matters. Blame MDS.) And who could possibly love weird vacuum problems more than Chrysler? (Nobody, that's who.)

  10787. 56:31 you got the numbers wrong Ray.... its EE0F00E000000000 and you have put E00F00E000000000 :D your welcome!

  10792. I have a question for you since you were/are a Chevy certified Mechanic. I am being told by my Chevy Dealer that Chevrolet Corporate suggests that I have a "Crank Case Flush" on my 2020 Silverado, WT, W/V-8 (Gas), that has now "43,000 Miles". And that I am 2 years overdue for the Flush. I have never heard such a thing as I am 67 and have been working on my own cars since I was about 10 years old! Is this "Flush" Required? And How could this be, are the Chevy engines a pile of "JUNK". Please give me your opinion and I won't hold you accountable I just need to know please?

  10827. Just joking around Ray.
    1
  10828. Does Ray leave that door open just to mess with us?

  10829. Here is a protected comment, for the algorithm.
    1
  10830.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  Yes it was. Had an issue with the sprinkler system and the lawn guy. The sprinkler came on this morning so the lawn guy had to wait until the lawn dried out. It’s been raining here for 4-5 days. Didn’t know the sprinkler guy had turned it back on. I knew he had got it ready for the summer, but I didn’t know he turned on the timer as well. I should have checked when he left the other day. My fault. This was a fantastic diagnostic video. Wouldn’t you know it was the last possibility that was checked was the culprit.
    1
  10831. 548th! Good Wednesday morning Ray, Lauren,and the new employee,Dave. Roger in Pierre South Dakota

  10832. Ray, FYI the Taurus was also assembled at the Ford Torrence Ave plant on the far South-East side of Chicago.
    1
  10833. There is a delayed fuse inside that fluke if it has over current for too long. Their equipment is amazing!
    1
  10834. As I was watching this one, I was trying to diagnose what was blowing that fuse. In my head I was screaming O2 sensor especially after watching many Eric O and Ivan videos, I knew that’s what it had to be. I did however love that Ray tracked it down using his amp meter which was different than the way they did it. I have the same Fluke meter and it is phenomenal and expensive. I can’t believe it held 25-30 amps without blowing its own fuse. Thanks Ray for showing that there’s always more than one way to skin a cat. Nice work!! Can’t wait to see how you’re going to fix it. Have yourself a great day!!
    1
  10835. The fuse in your Fluke should have blown. I had to replace mine once. You might want to check what you have for a fuse. Your lucky you didn't smoke your Fluke...
    1
  10836. Yo i got here fresh. 2 Minutes ago and no comments. Don't think i have ever been this early.
    1
  10837. same meter I have Ray it has an internal fuse ask me how I know lol
    1
  10838. Everyone who has ever worked on a car has seen at least one instance of someone putting a 20 amp fuse in a 5 amp circuit. LoL
    1
  10839. Awesome diagnosis and eehhh when you say don't burn yourself and do, bad for you but it makes great YT vids 🤣🤣🤣😋
    1
  10840. Using signal like a good Floridian is like jumbo shrimp.
    1
  10841. I'm impressed that your Fluke didn't blow the fuse. Most are limited to 10 amps and have a fuse inside the meter. Fluke is the gold standard of multimeters for a reason. Fuses are sized to protect the wires, not necessarily the circuit. I would throw away those test wires you smoked, I suspect the insulation is no longer 100% !
    1
  10842. That Fluke meter has a nice robust continuity beeper. I hate meters that barely make enough noise to hear.
    1
  10843. The trans cooler is just pipe running thru the radiator fluid as a heat exchanger and will flush clean easily so not really a contamination issue.
    1
  10844. Good morning Ray !!
    1
  10845. I’m not a mechanic, so this is a honest question, rather than contaminating the new trans cooler in the cobalt, could you have bypassed it by connecting the two trans cooler hoses with like a double male hose barb or something? Sorry if this is a dumb question.
    1
  10846. You know it’s really cold

  10889. LOL!!! Did you see who the Libertarians nominated for their candidate as President....I'll leave it there LOL!
    1
  10890.  @derekh8688  I really don't think Ray was making ANY political statement, there's a groove you get into when working & why should Ray veer from a pattern or even take the time to edit it out, what's the priority? Hope this doesn't hurt your feelings but we've all seen alot worse! The Libertarian Party (LP) is a political party in the United States that promotes civil liberties, non-interventionism, laissez-faire capitalism, and limiting the size and scope of government. Maybe you've mistaken Liberal for Libertarian? I'm sure a new fully funded government agency at tax payer expense of course would be all over this! From Miami to the Keys Rainman Ray will be free!

  10894. Holy shit you’re actually a normal human being who doesn’t obsess over political parties, idk why people felt the need to bring that up on a video about fixing a truck!
    1
  10895. As long as you realize that there is no libertarian party and you can't get any representation. ;)
    1
  10896. "as a libertarian" ah, this makes sense. I would expect nothing less from the guy that meticulously diagnoses and troubleshoots problems. It's quite apt, honestly. Also like the post above, I don't come here for politics and I truly appreciate that I've been following you for years and this is the first time I've ever heard anything about your beliefs on the topic. Much much much respect for keeping the focus on what we're here for: cars and entertaining banter. Edit: just saw the edit.. you made a slight grammatical mistake, you're a libertarian, not a Libertarian. I know, I know, it's a bit pedantic, but the party is just as corrupt as the rest and I find this seemingly miniscule adjustment makes the difference in expressing your stance effectively. Small l is a stance, big L is a title. But enough of that, let's get back to the cars and banter.

  10914. Worse yet on that cobalt, you could do all that work and find overheating destroyed the cylinder head and head gasket. Could be a road to nowhere
    1
  10915. I am wondering about you using your truck for jumping cars/powering your house during hurricanes and what not, why you don't have an external jumper cable jack on both ends of your truck. Like tow trucks do. This way you don't have to open your hood to jump or power another dead battery, or your house.

  10922. Ya'll probably won't believe me, but... I have a friend who works for a major oil company - well known. I asked him what was so special about synthetic oil as compared to non-synthetic? His response: "one additive."
    1
  10923. You're a bit edgy today my dude. Hope things can return to your normal routine soon. Being off isn't a great feeling.
    1
  10924. No flair? But you need at least 15 pieces of flair! Also adding synthetic to synthetic blend would still make it a synthetic blend, would it not? Mostly just glad everything is getting kind of back to normal. God bless you and your family Ray.
    1
  10925. Order of operations? There will be order. Just order order! Seriously, good to see you back at it. In spite of not having major damage at the homestead, it's still a traumatic event and it takes some time to recover from that trauma.
    1
  10926. Nice that you can return to a semblence of normalcy. That is a big psychological thing to help you deal with what is still not normal.
    1
  10927. It’s great to hear updates from you, getting back to work can be really more work motivating yourself to be there than the work your doing. Keep up the good work and as Dory would say “Just keep Swimming”

  10941. On the wiring of your new trailer the BX ends need short inserts . They are small red cones that go between the metal shielding and the wire. This is needed because your trailer be bumping and jerking down the road.

  10942. I suspect you are getting ready for the next hurricane. The last one showed you the low spots. I'm slowly filling low spots that turn into mud holes on my 250 foot driveway at my summer lake house in NH. After shoveling 3/4" crushed stone, shoveling dirt is fun.....LOL

I didn't know the lad you spoke about but donated based on your behalf. I wish he has a speedy recovery and my heart aches for his lady in the worst way. Her message impacted me large and I am glad I donated to the cause. God bless all of you and I hope for a message of recovery.

    1
  10966. Ray, the reason you made that rookie mistake is because you broke the NUMBER ONE rule when working on Mercedes. You forgot to adopt a German Accent for this video. The car heard you and decided to make you pay.
    1
  10967. Locked out of a car with the keys in it? Must be a Honda. You should put the hood in service mode. 2 levers on each hinge. Makes the hood straight up and down. Some have red tabs on the struts but all Mercedes have that feature.

  10968. Let's see what we have, let's see what we have...got. 😁 I understand where you're coming from, mate. But don't sweat the occasional slip. 👍

  10991. I don't think you are cheap Ray, i think you are frugal. There is a difference, as shown by your willingness to spend whats necessary to keep your stuff in good condition not just "duct taping" to avoid spending money as much as possible.
    1
  10992. Please read your comments!
    1
  10993. Your not cheap Ray, you are intelligent. New vehicles are undoubtedly nice, but is the worst possible investment you can make given a vehicle looses 20% of its value the second you drive it off the lot. (I may be off a little by that number but you get the point). You have a skill that most do not possess, so use it to keep your vehicles running as long as possible. There is nothing wrong in overkilling your own vehicle. At least it is like you want it to be. Just keep being you brother

  10994. Dont WANT to buy a new truck?? How about WONT buy a new truck. A the prices theyre asking...no way. Which begs the question,Who is, buying new trucks. Well not your average income Joe. Millionaires, large corps. Farmers, and lottery winners. How DO they stay in business? It aint me either.

  10998. This project is perfect for Halloween Ray. I'm only half way through and I'm terrified. I was doing good until the dash came off. That's a lot of fasteners to remember where went.

  10999. Ray your poor truck is screaming help me !!!! poor truck........ on the brighter side it will be wicked once back together with cold AC, new carpet and underlay.... bet you cant wait :)

  11000. Why spend the money and time on an oldER truck...not old:-) As you said...new trucks are crazy expensive and IMO the build quality isn't as good as they used to be. A good informative video on how to do a seldom done job...somebody umpteen years down the road will find this video and be all like 'whew' for finding it. One piece at a time, one assembly at a time. It is coming together quite nicely Ray.
    1
  11001. hi Ray it has been a wile since i left a comment here for you but this vid about your truck is alot like what i was sayng to you about you working for your self it is so ez to bite off more then you think. i am not trying to put you donw or to bring you down just a warning to keep alert and play it safe. best of luck and wishes. PS so far i think you are doing good so far keep it up

  11002. I hope the new parts are of at least the same quality of the old parts that lasted all this time.

  11006. If this was a 2 wheel drive POS I'd say junk it, but I like seeing good trucks being restored to the best you can. What you need now is some>> {new car smell spray} so when your done it has that new car smell.........
    1
  11007. I totally agree with you about rebuilding your truck, I have an 06 with 242000 miles. It's the last body style I like, also I'm cheap to. Love your videos, it keeps me entertained at work when it's slow.
    1
  11008. Ray I got to tell you, you have a lot of nerve. I give you credit I don't think I could drill into that thing like you are. But it looks like the right thing to do. Good luck brother

  11018. Since you're only going to replace the spark plugs every 100k miles or so, I always check the gaps before installation. Even if the plugs come "pre-gapped". It only takes a couple of seconds. And I much prefer to do a tune-up on the Ford modular V8s, no wires to replaces. Just plug and coil. Easier to reach since they're on the top, too.

  11019. It’s still not that rusty… I have a Sierra that puts that one to shame. 😂

  11020. I have enjoyed watching your videos since I subscribed to your channel. I've also learned a number of things from you, with the latest being the "socket on a socket" move. Lol great idea, I'm throwing that one in my toobox. Thanks!!!👍👍👍

  11037.  @tbonemerrick  ahh that makes sense, I’m used to my old fluke meter, never used an amp clamp either, so was curious how it would work, makes perfect sense though, and thinking about it would explain the gain control on the clamp.. 👍
    1
  11038. Hi Ray, I’m not familiar with the snap-on meters, but it looked like you weren’t set to the Amp setting, looks like your on mV micro volts. Should you not be using DC A (amps) or is this a characteristic of the clamp and has to be used with this particular setting? Just curious? Always love the videos though! 😊
    1
  11039. Wait the Minit. This voltmeter shov mV and last time I check mV means Millivolts and for amps is leather A 🤔.

  11041. I get that people typing rude comments when they have no bases or knowledge of what they're talking about can get on your nerves. But to say you don't care if they don't like the video. Shows those idiots that they've gotten to you. And just built up their confidence to become even a bigger idiot. I think it's better not to say anything at all You know like when you ignore your child when they're being a pain on purpose. Just my opinion we all have one sometimes they're not any good take it anyway you want your friendly troll I live below the bridge.

  11065. If you look at a quick disconnect heater hose fitting the wrong way, it'll crumple into 400 pieces
    1
  11066. Clamp will spin and Ray will say bad things.
    1
  11067. The power tool on the clamp is dangerous because those clamps tend to jam and spin in the tool which could relieve your finger from your hand :D

  11068. The baking soda and water works the best dipping your ends into a small container

  11078. @Rainman Ray's Repairs Since you said to do it.....no, I did not enjoy the video. Why? I am in the process of tearing my truck apart- 22 yrs old and well used, bearings pistons, valves, seals, gaskets, rear axel, etc..... - I did not see enough cussing or lateral, high velocity movement of tools to show sympathy regarding my pain. I do, however, appreciate the honesty/integrity that I have seen you display. I have encountered issues/incompetence/mistakes from "professionals" that I have unfortunately had to use a couple of times in the past and wish I had that money back. I am closing the gap, keeping my bearing and will continue to wrench through........I know, but just couldn't resister.

  11137. I am called a Luddite because of my resistance to certain technology. I do not upgrade my phone when the latest one comes out; they do not make calls any better. I frequently leave my phone at home while running errands around town. I seek cars with minimal technology avoiding things like lane assist and auto-parking which are all sizzle, no steak.

  11140. 1st time commenting, your reasoning behind technology is very sound, and accurate. Common sense is a rarity and more and more hard to find. You have an abundance of it over your 20 years of EXPERIENCE. Being 71 years old and know the value of experience for trouble shooting and problem solving. Keep up the fight. 😁

  11143. Ray, you are showing your youngness again! You have to go back to the 70's and when the Jeeps were CJ 5s and CJ 7s. to really have those flip concerns. These if not driven with care could flip. Not so much the jeeps being the problem but more the driver. The 5s was inclined to flip more so than the 7s, as the 7s had 10 inches more in the wheelbase. When jeep went to the "Wrangler" name they made the Wrangler wider to improve stability. But as you know, any vehicle that sits up higher is more likely to roll, if pushed too hard into a turn

  11144. It was nice to finally see your face on this episode.

  11145. Beard looks good Ray 😄👍

  11146. I've usually got your back, but I'm not so sure here lol! You should have bought a piece of all thread and just cut it to length, and used a nut on the outside end. Granted, I haven't watched the whole video yet, to see if you're trolling, but I think you had a better option than welding two bolts together.

There's a sainthood in the making for you lad. But alas I am a fancy man and I always do my YouTube watching on a 75" smart tv and I have to use the remote to enter a menu to like. So hard but I do it. Can the fancy men of your audience get a shout out?
    1
  11156. "Apparatus" is both.
    1
  11157. Ray, I looked it up, apparatuses is the correct common plural for apparatus. Although apparatai just seems cooler!
    1
  11158. That fuel pump sure sucked a lot of air - even when the tank was half full. The pump may be junk. Hard to keep an engine running when you are injecting air instead of fuel. There is a fair chance plug wires were pulled and perhaps crossed, which would not help either.

  11269. We had a program in kansas city Started by a radio station years ago Called Cars for Christmas You could donate a car, they would have it repaired and give it away to someone in need. And they kept doing this every year The radio station started back in the 1970s call sign KYYS KY102 It was a long running radio show that played full albums Some smart ass young guy hated the station came in fired all the deejays and changed the formate So the main DJ found out 97 9 That played elevator music was closing he took over the station and they changed the formate to Kyys old format this lasted a few years until the same executive pushed them off air agine . The cars for Christmas lives on But they take used cars fix them and donate them to people who can't afford but are in need of a car for all kinds of reasons . You guys don't need to stop with this one car, and i belive other content creatirs in the industry can join in. This is nobility. Its not doing it to profit, if you keep using donations to help people that Are in true serious need that life kicked them when they were down. But you must start a non profit So this money is not taxed as your income. And you can use the donations as a tax deduction on your business or income. Maybe you can find a Tax Attorney Willing to donate his time for this. And set up some kind of trust people can donate to to help fund the program. Other channels can get involved.

  11306. Well done yet again sir. I have already bought the caliper tool and have used it multi time thank you for suggesting it I LOVE IT. I did buy it from your link kind sir lol. I also noticed that when you went to remove the one lug the rim was able to move on the car like it was loose. That was before you pulled out mr big stick. So i was thinking it was crossed threaded and locked on.
    1
  11307. As a retired LE I can tell you on your question about the dog caused wrecks. It happens quite a bit. I know i saw about 1 a month. I would also pull people over and tell them if I saw the dog in the lap to remove said dog and let them know the accidents they will cause. Plus i would also pull over people that would have them in the bed of their trucks NOT secured. I would always tell them you have kids and if they answered yes. I would ask them would you let your kids ride like your dog is. Once they said NO i would then say why do that with your dog. Plus I do know it is illegal in Florida for a person to allow a dog in the bed of the truck without it being properly restrained. i just looked it up and it is over 2.5 million every year.

  11308. In my younger years I did play with waste of money still like swapping brake material front and rear for desired balance or wheel offset etc etc.

  11310. There doesn't appear to be any tracked data on pet-caused accidents (possibly due to liability concerns), but data suggests that less than 20% of pets are restrained / caged during transport. Personally, I have a huge dog (120+ pounds), and am divided on the restraint issue. On one hand, unrestrained means he faces the same risks as you or I do when driving without a seat belt, plus the added risk if he hops out of the car around traffic (parked by street traffic or parking lot - we do not drive with the windows open enough for more than a muzzle to poke out). On the other hand, restraining means that in the event of an emergency it might be difficult to free yourself and then get him free of his restraints and safely out of a damaged vehicle. Net result, I don't take him out in the car nearly as often as I (nor he) would prefer. It's a safer driver / safety first sort of decision.
    1
  11311. That brake caliper tool is pretty cool.
    1
  11312. The data on pet caused accidents is very weak...most of it is conjecture developed by a pet safety product company, then repeated about 1000 times on the websites of personal injury lawyers...I will not give them the clicks here. As for actual data the only thing I came up with is a researched performed in 1984, with data from 1975...and all it tells you is types of injuries suffered by dogs. There is an LA times article from 2011 talking about it...not sure how YouTube does not likes links; look up LA times article "Experts warn about the dangers of driving with unrestrained pets in the car" Hawaii is the only state to have a law about driving with a pet in your lap...at least that was the case in 2011...Oregon was going to vote on one as well... Big take away, hard to police loose pets, people who crash because dog distracted are not very likely to admit that is what happened....and most conservative legislatures will never vote to require pets be restrained.

  11315. Here in the North it's good practice to clean and lube brakes between brake jobs, especially after a nasty winter, they will get noisy if you don't.
    1
  11316. JEEZ, it's obvious why you had to replace the rotors, somebody dented them with a hammer.
    1
  11317. There is something so satisfying when break pads go slide in and lock into place. It could just be me but I enjoy it
    1
  11318. snap on ? or snap off?
    1
  11319. All these brake jobs you've gotten recently I take as an omen. There are four vehicles here on the compound that I am responsible for maintaining. I only drive one so I know its status, the other three being driven by steering wheel holders means I only find out somethings broken WHEN ITS BROKEN. I have a sinking feeling I'm about to be doing brake jobs left right and center. And I know I should be checking them to know status but, WHEN THEY NEVER STOP MOVING YOU CAN'T CHECK THEM! Ugh family, you can't live with them and life sucks without them (wife, step-daughter, father-in-law).

  11326. love your "SHAMELESS" PROMO'S on what type's of tool ect you use...went and got the caliper tool just cant afford the "ANGRY PLYIERS" yet... keep them all coming of course all the good content to.....PLEASE AND THANK YOU!!!!
    1
  11327. Just so you know. I have beening doing automotive work for 30 years, and have never had a problem with lube. Lube stops squeaks. I don't over do the lube. I have even redone my bosses brake jobs my way and never had a problem.. just don't over do the lube.
    1
  11328. Man u see a good thing like putting the rotor on backwards to clean it and u think holy shit why didn't I do that. I just did my brakes yesterday and held flipped them in the box. Will be doing what u just did from now on.
    1
  11329. Don't know how many dog related accidents there are, but I imagine dog on lap plus airbag doesn't end well for any party! Never seen a crash test dog though, come to think of it
    1
  11330.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  Yeah, I wondered if it could be that too. it is hard to tell for sure from here. You had the pad in hand so I believe you. :)
    1
  11331. Reeeeee.....At 8:28 it looks like maybe the pad went in but the wear indicator got stuck outside the caliper bracket? Hard to really tell as I can't see the whole pad and its design.

  11334. In the [Not so great] North, rust will do so much worse than the brake dust that builds up on the grease. Without a little grease the pads usually become one with the caliper brackets in one winter.

    1
  11374. I wouldn't wire them as auxiliary backup lights, but instead switch them independently as work lights so you can turn them on to hitch or whatever you need to do behind the truck at night. Or, you could wire them to the cargo lights if you have them, and put some lights in the toolbox too. Either way... good lookin bumper.

  11375. Giving the bird to 468000 people. Twas a good day! LOL.

  11379. thankyou Ray,hearing and seeing you being so content and relaxed makes watching these videos even more enjoyable,,,👌👍👍
    1
  11380. @7:19 Probably the first time ever that someone called a carriage bolt a "good fastener". Usually it's "damn stupid carriage bolt spinning".
    1
  11381. Your wife’s a pretty girl! She should be in more videos!
    1
  11382. Ray!! I saw that spaghetti junction at the back, you should've tidied that up while the bumper was off 😆 🤣 😂
    1
  11383. That would be a road armor brand bumper

  11384. You cried wolf too many times...

  11389. Roach Wrangler....LOL
    1
  11390. Sorry I asked for the information before I watched the whole video my fault
    1
  11391. I'm asking for the third time, what brand and where you bought the hitch? I need one like that, and google will not tell me, or they're way too expensive and only rated for 3000lbs.
    1
  11392. Roach battle scene deserved battle scene music😂 great bud first watched SUB
    1
  11393. I would also redo or replace the “vampire wiring” from the previous owner.

  11394. Ray has my favorite words on the thumbnail 👍

  11395. Good morning zeee brother

  11400. Ray needs 2k more followers! Subscribe if you have not! Get him over the hurdle!
    1
  11401. I think Ray is trying to turn himself in to venom from Spider-Man
    1
  11402. 24:46 just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in. Yeah, yeah, oh-yeah, what condition my condition was in. Its not 4 non blondes but 5th Edition wil have to do. Thanks for the video Ray

  11403. OH NO, Wife Unit forgot safety honks when backing cars out lol

  11404. You always make my day. Thanks
    1
  11405. Only 10,000 miles? That oil's definitely got another 5,000 or more to go before it's time to change the engine! Just to remind you, dear reader, 7,000 mile oil changes that manufacturers recommend now are ONLY designed to get you out of the warranty, not to get your car to last 200K miles.
    1
  11406. sweet service. love BG products.
    1
  11407. That oil looks good for another 10,000 😂😂😂, actually the oil looked like it was at least 20,000 + ,but then if it's cheap oil😢
    1
  11408. You should put the AMSOIL signature series in that car the next time it comes in since you know that guys going way past the normal drain intervals. Signature series should be good for 25k. Only tell him 15k though so he might actually come back in around 20k or so.
    1
  11409. BG EPR is amazing, actually BG products are amazing
    1
  11410. The sticker showed 87,800 miles due for the oil change. Chances are that it has been 13,000 miles since they recommend 3,000 mile oil changes on the stickers!

  11411. Valve cove needs to come off and oil pan 😢

  11412. Take care of your vehicles people

  11413.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  I know it. I at least talked him out of the turbo.
    1
  11414. I'm begging my son, who just bought a new Santa Cruz, to change his oil at 5k.
    1
  11415. Order the hood struts for the next oil change.
    1
  11416. I use an Anker 45w USB C to USB C on my light. Works fine. Just gotta be 45w
    1
  11417. Saxophone bros! Lol I didn't go to band camp either. That would imply PRACTICE..(shutter) 20 years later and that's still a dirty word to me lol

  11418. You even got us south Africans doing the Phone ring in our family Enjoy your diagnostic thought process keep up the good work

  11422. I'm kinda glad you DIDN'T delete your "memory" conversation with Peterrrr 🤣🤣, interestingly fun.
    1
  11423. Warp speed was great for repetitive process. 😀
    1
  11424. It would be great if you could actually work at warp speed but get paid book time! I think you actually beat book time on most of your repairs. You are very proficient with your work. I also like the "Happy Gilmore" quotes. I use "just tap it in. Tap it in." Better than "beat it into submission", which is sometimes necessary. lol! You're great with what you do, Ray! Always having a good attitude makes things go easier. I don't think I could make a good YouTube video. My sarcasm would get me in too much trouble! lol! Thanks for sharing your experience and wisdom with us!
    1
  11425. HAPPY THANKSGIVING
    1
  11426. Say hi to Peter from me.

  11427. we all like watching your repair videos today we had 25 people in here, great job

  11428. Ray , I don't know if you're married or not, but those spring 🗜️ are also known as widow makers.
    1
  11429. C'mon, Ray! You ought to know by now, after 20 odd years in the bizz, if you're doing something sketchy, you need to sing the sketchy song : 🎼🎶Time to do some sketchy shit🎶 🎵 Doodah, doodah🎶 🎶 Hope I get away with it! 🎶 🎵All the doodah day! 🎵

  11430. Comparing spring compressors to communism. Love it. :-)

  11431. You did grease all those new joints right??? Maybe I missed it..

  11432. Ray, music to my ears. That’s got a gorgeous burble. Nice job 👍

  11433. DAVE'S NOT HERE!!

  11435. There’s no such thing as an exhaust being too aggressive!
    1
  11436. I just don't get when you say the odometer has approximately then immediately tell us actual mileage. Insert "do better" meme lol. Glad things are working out, stopped watching for quite some time as you worked out the kinks with the new shop. I really miss the doo doo do doooo phone though.
    1
  11437.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  we talked after you had Culver’s

  11439. Excellent job, nice sound. Oh, nice haircut!

  11440. Good morning from the Florida Keys ✊️ It's my understanding that valve is for when the engine goes into four cylinder mode, it cuts down on the drone sound.
    1
  11441. That exhaust will work fine on my Tahoe. I have long tube headers on mine
    1
  11442. That BG story is funny because I've been watching for about 2 weeks and I'm already "Starting ze engine" all the time! 🤣
    1
  11443. Do you have a p.o box I'd love to send you some stud cleaning wheels. Edit. Nevermind found it its in the about tab of the channel
    1
  11444. As we all know, once you reach 88 mph you only need another 1.21 gigawatts and you can interfere with history. That's 1,210,000,000 watts or 1,622,637 horsepower.
    1
  11445. im glad im not the ONLY person who takes OFF lug nuts opposite of each other as if im putting them back ON😅😭 its just a habit to do it when seeing a tire in my face😂
    1
  11446. Thanks!
    1
  11447. You haven't disappointed in the powering down bews, lol Ray! Now u just need a tank top that says powering down bews! I would buy it!

  11448. Would that be mold free coffee? I think the mold coffee woke you up quicker lol

  11449. Snap on paycheck collection had me absolutely cackling….. thank you I needed that
    1
  11450. You just drove past my parents old winter shack close to Catamaran on Clark. They were “snow birds” until about 10 years ago.
    1
  11451. Hey howdy! I really do not disapprove of you showing us a spark plug change, oil change or tire change/rotation. Especially when a more serious (read expensive) "diagnosis" was made by another shop. __
    1
  11452. 5:20 Holy Crap! Close-ups are in focus! Yay! :) ("Focus you f*ck", AvE probably)

  11458. Sounds OK to me...

  11459. You call that blowed up? I have had a few motors ( Ford 302, 2- dodge 400ci ) and there was no question when those blowed up!

  11464. 8:06 i found your new shop. you made it WAY too easy. took about 10 minutes over all to find not only the exact address, but exactly where you are standing in the building in this clip. i can see which window you are tapping lol
    1
  11465. About time!!!!Lol
    1
  11466. From a Dutch🇳🇱 guy living in Germany 🇩🇪. Good luck 👍. Keep those videos coming how you new shop is doing.
    1
  11467. Very very exciting Ray😜
    1
  11468. I am very excited to see this new chapter

  11469.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  LOL Yes but get ready for reality! Cause it is going to slap you in the noggin! 😜😜

  11470. Bwahahaha “ I can do what ever I want when I want!” Hahahaha good one Ray! Awesome shop btw!

  11471. We are here! We are waiting! We Wish you the best of Luck!!! Can't wait to see you hit 500K.... Can't wait for a million!!
    1
  11472. Please DEAR GOD! NO “DOOO DEEE DOOOS” ON YOUR NEW PHONE SYSTEM! Perhaps “ring ring” will be less invasive! ‪Thank you for your time on this matter.‬ ‪Peace ✌🏻

  11473. Own your own business, work half days... you decide which twelve hours... been there, done that.

  11474. Congrats!!! Good luck from Romania!!!
    1
  11475. Looks great Ray. Looking forward to the first video in the new shop.
    1
  11476. A diamond in the rough.
    1
  11477. not first!
    1
  11478. Congrats on the shop. Long overdue for you. Please get some serious security installed.
    1
  11479. I'm not much of a watcher of convention type videos. Though I did peak in on yours to give you some viewership, it usually isn't my jam. Shop looks good, having that larger lift definitely a bonus.
    1
  11480. Sorry I did not watch the convention videos, but those type of things have no real draw for me. Glad you had a great time!
    1
  11481. Coffee maker and a cooler and your set 😎😁😉

  11482. 127 upticks within five minutes of being uploaded!
    1
  11483. I've been a subscriber for a long time. And, I'm one of those folks who skipped over the SEMA videos. I don't enjoy show videos and videos where people have guests. So I just skip those, for every channel. Looking forward to lots of great videos from your new shop.
    1
  11484. Sarasota airport is the best!
    1
  11485. yes
    1
  11486. You talked about people not liking your SEMA videos, and I'm here to tell you why I didn't click on them: I don't really care about car show videos. I only looked for Tavarish and B is for Build SEMA videos, at the time, because I had followed their Lambo and Ferrari builds. Had you built a high polish vehicle that made it to SEMA I would have watched for sure, because then it would have been part of the journey. But just a car show? Not my cup of tea. I watch you because I enjoy watching the repairs and learning as I watch, and your commentary being what it is helps you stand above a lot of other automotive channels. And even the home maintenance videos provide a good mix of all that. But, again, a car show? Not my cup of tea unless I'm there in person.
    1
  11487. Nice space! Congrats!
    1
  11488. When you get set up I'll bring my tundra to you to get fluids flushed and the trans filter replaced !
    1
  11489. @ray, your truck is "THIS CLOSE" to full FloridaMan. Needs a gun rack in back window and LED bars shining directly in the eyes of oncoming traffic and I think you got it complete. Oh... and truck nuts.... yup...
    1
  11490. No I didn’t watch any of the SEMA videos. I also didn’t watch any Ft Lauderdale International Boat Show videos even though I watch a lot of boating channels. I don’t have much interest in looking at new overpriced stuff. Fixing stuff is a whole different story. I’ll even watch you go through a schematic diagram if your funny enough. All I have to say about your own business is insurance and the IRS are both expensive, stay on top. Good luck! ;)
    1
  11491. It has begun
    1
  11492. It's perfect

  11493. That air conditioner is pure comedy gold .

  11494. Cool Ray! Can't wait to see the 1st dollar made.
    1
  11495. I can't wait to hear "customer states..." looking forward to seeing you fix cars again.
    1
  11496. First of all I would like to Thank You I have been watching your channel for a while now . I have been out of the repair business for a long time and have gotten back into it so I am very rusty. I have relearned so much from watching you in fact just this weekend I had to replace a water pump on my truck and I used a pick to loosen the hose like I have seen you do many times and it makes removing hoses so easy I look forward to learning much more from you . Once again Thank you so much
    1
  11497. I am very happy for you , now that you will be working for you .
    1
  11498. Having lived in Lakewood Ranch a few years, this is a good start. People will find you because of your videos, and former customers. I think you will quickly outgrow that facility. It would be better to have a paved parking lot. I suggest that you find a location that is on one of the heavily trafficked roads. A road that is one of the I-75 exits. Either HWY 70 or Fruitville Road. Too many clues in the video of the location. Tropicana and railroad.
    1
  11499. I'm not laughing at you at all. Just keep an eye on your costs, and don't waste your time on no-hope jobs, send them away. Your channel has been great entertainment and relaxation (for us viewers) but maybe you need to concentrate 100% on the job for now.
    1
  11500. I started out with 2500 sq ft and 2 racks. Its almost perfect for 1 guy. I knew u had it in you brother!!!

  11501. Was ist das? Das ist nicht gut! 🤣🤣
    1
  11502. Found it. Not going to post it either to respect your privacy. Got a question for the USA. Australia here - we have 230/240 volts main and 400 volts 3 phase. Am I to believe your 110 volts is main and 240 volts is 3 phase then ?
    1
  11503. Heck yea not far my my house at all

  11521. Hey boss I know this is old but congratulations starting your own company man. I hope you succeed and having a happy wonderful working day.😊
    1
  11522. Nice that you have a body shop next door. Now when you launch a car into the back wall you don't have to go anywhere.🤣🤣🤣🤣 Of course you won't do that. I did just watch the old video from when you did it though. Good times. This looks like a sweet little shop. I know someone local to me who's just killing it in a shop that's a bit smaller than this. And we're in Commiefornia. He is also a "Star Smog Inspection Station. You'll do great.

  11523. How REAL are You? I have only met 1 Honest mechanic in my 58 years of life, you are the second. Thank You , Trust is God!

  11526. My Chevy truck recently did some wierd stuff a couple of times. Battery terminals looked fine but I cleaned them anyway. Several months later now and it hasnt done it again....
    1
  11527. I think those anti corrosion things are scared of me. Everytime I disconnect a battery that has them they always disappear.😀

  11531. Thank goodness Ray is back. I must have Ray to articulate my morning ritual which includes my coffee!!!
    1
  11532. Thanks!

  11533. People subscribe!! He's the only auto mechanic on here showing all his work! He deserves more subscribers than he has! And the daily content, unbeatable.
    1
  11534. Glad you are on the mend.
    1
  11535. Thanks
    1
  11536. Ray, that's at least a 2007, it's a GMT900, those were 2007-2014. Oh wait, you know that already, you drive an 800! LOL
    1
  11537. Ah, his insurance agent.
    1
  11538. I feel you just did 3 hours of running around for that extra 6 minutes.
    1
  11539. That’s a load of trash in the back 😮
    1
  11540. Ray my man!
    1
  11541. Next time I'm passing through Bradenton I'm going to stop by and do surgery on that jump box to remove the beeper.
    1
  11542. hay the rude jumper box is back

  11543. It's a subconscious thing from being a mechanic. My mechanic husband does the exact same thing when he's holding wrench or a ratchet. And that's the only time he does it. He's been a mechanic for 30 years.
    1
  11544. In other words, Ray stays strapped and so should you. 👍🏻
    1
  11545. Starter clicked are bad Ray 😂 glad you found the last 6 mins
    1
  11546. As an avid internet user, I disregard all relevant scientific / medical experts and any self diagnosed symptoms. You definitely have Parkinson's based solely on your videos and WebMD. Sarcasm for those who aren't fluent in it.

  11547. ' life - fail ' It's what happens when you get fans, Ray

  11548. Misleading headline!!! Mechanic didn't screw up... film producer did!!!😁

  11549. I'm safe means = I'm armed
    1
  11550. Good morning ray have a great day
    1
  11551. I think the shaking is because you are in a tight spot and your trying to wrk around the starter. And your body under the truck laying in a weird position.
    1
  11552. The loose ass connections could have killed that starter too. For brushed motors, when the voltage drops on them their amp draw increases. That could have burnt the contacts open on that solenoid.
    1
  11553.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  it’s my least favorite part about management. “You guys changed my oil and now my engine is messed up”. Like… okay, have it towed here. Pull up footage. Start a claim. And hope I have all my ducks in a row so that it gets denied by the guys that investigate it from corporate. Definitely a mood killer. Especially when they didn’t document correctly and you can’t prove the customer wrong, so now they are getting their way and you gotta coach your technician.
    1
  11554. Guys we need to share Rays videos to as many viewers as we can as he heads for a million subscribers click
    1
  11555. Thanks for he shorter video, much appreciated.

  11559. It looks like your playing operation pulling the screws with the long driver.

  11560. I bought a set of long handled articulating ratcheting wrenches because i saw yours. Those have been the handiest tools that ive bought in a long time.
    1
  11561. I'm amazed the teeth on the t-60 did not break. I've broken so many on tight bolts. --- luck was with you.

  11566. I think Ray lost it when that door flew open on that Ford Truck...
    1
  11567. jeeps are not trucks. they are masochistic owner torture devices.
    1
  11568. I have to say Ray that is why we have kids, just to convert the interior of your vehicle into a trash bin. Great vids keep em coming, always a highlight of the day
    1
  11569. Yes indeed 😊

  11575. Yes prices of stuff suck, but i do not think 900 for that part is that far out of line if you factor in what it is and what it took to make it from a blank chunk of steel. The machine to make it cost over a million bucks it was made on a 5 axis lathe via cnc. Took about 2 hours to machine. And if it got a scratch or was out of spec it got scraped.

  11599. It takes Glock mags!

  11600. i guess it unsubscribed me so fixed it
    1
  11601. Oh, I forgot to tell you. The radial seal will fail at 145 psi and the can will fail at 265 psi. I failure tested the oil and fuel filter cans for filter development.
    1
  11602. Ray, Tristan is correct in regards to no oil bypass on the Cat 1R-1807. However the bypass is fitted to the oil filter housing in a Cat engine and does even start to bypass until 75 psi. It is a primary oil filter, there is no such thing as a secondary oil filter, tandem and tertiary - yes but those applications have high flow rates and long filter replacement times. The 1807 is a great filter and with the flow rate for a Dura max there is little worry. I spent 25 years doing R&D work for Cat.
    1
  11603. You’re right. Somehow I got unsubscribed. That’s weird. REsubscribed.
    1
  11604. Well, that's it. We're finished.... YOU LIAR!!
    1
  11605. Ray I just realized you installed a 1R-1807 non internal bypass filter onto the new adapter. let me explain something. Number one that is a secondary oil filter, not a primary, cat says it has a built in 20 psi relief on the ENGINE SIDE for the bypass filter (the 1R-1807) because its a small micron size filter not capable of full flow. While you probably will not have oil starvation related issues in florida using this filter, your subscribers in northern states will. Who suggested this as a modification? They are dead wrong. Get that off your engine. What that is for is a bypass filter system like what amsoil sells. I just took this off a duramax here in WI that were about to do bearings on. LBZ, 303k miles, installed adapter and cat filter in august, failed in november. Now he's at my shop to get cam, main and rod bearings, crank turned and probably also going to need more than that. His complaint was that he ALWAYS had good oil pressure but that it would go up and down up and down when it was cold, then one day it started rod knocking when he started it up and drove it to get diesel, the knock went away going to work but came back when he went home. Sounds weird right? Thats because if you look at how oil circulates in a duramax you will know its not a priority mains oiling engine. It feeds a "main" oil gallery that in order feeds left and right bank piston cooling channel, front cover sub oil gallery and then to the vertical oil gallery for the main crank bearings and cam bearings. Quite literally cooling jets get priority flow over engine bearings, hell even then left and right bank rocker shafts all share oil flow from number 3 camshaft bearing journal channel. What that all means is that if there is NOT enough flow even if the pressure is high the engine bearings and rockers will receive less oil because they are oiled behind the oil pressure relief. Diagrams are hard to find for LBZs but trust me on this one, you are starving your engine when its cold.

  11606. Still subscribed.

  11607. In my experience with diesel engines the oil turns black after about 6 revolutions I don't think it even needs to fire.

  11609. "It's make like a tree and leave you sound like an idiot" Biff........ Bwahahaha

  11610. I'm glad you lied and changed the oil Ray. Its almost cringing, changing the filter with old oil in. It's sort of like taking a shit and not flushing after. It's just going to be on your mind all the time.
    1
  11611. Usually the fix is to replace the TIPM.
    1
  11612. I would agree with ya. Replace the TIPM.

    1
  11637.  @RainmanRaysRepairs . Cuz you're good brother. 👍And to heck with the bad comments. People who have probably never turn the wrench in their life🙄. I'm 65 years old now Ray don't do much, but when I did I loved it. Keep up the good work my man. As long as you enjoy what you do it's not a job ☺️ 🤗. And I hope your recovery efforts at 🏡 home are going well. 👍 Just glad you and family were okay 🙏🤗

  11655. OMG!! get that damn hand out of the way, I cant see!!!! lol/jk but in all seriousness if any one has a cow about your hand/head or any other body part in the way they never have work on a car..
    1
  11656. Thanks Rainman! Sorry this one car was not pleasant but the video was a big success! You are very enjoyable and educational to watch. You have my support and respect. Always click the “like” button. Keep ‘em coming! I’ll be watching!! And don’t YOU forget to have a nice day too!!!
    1
  11657. The first time is practice. The second time is for real. LOL Nice job. I like you always seem to know what to do and that you are successful. Nice job. Oh, and how dare you block our view while you are trying to work! tsk tsk! (Just had to pick on you, sarcasm)

  11660. Ray, brotha man, I do this all the time, specialize in 79-04 mustangs, and actually just did a set of hooker long tubes on a 4v swapped 01 GT. There's a handful of very good people in the central fl region that deal with these cars on a daily, if you every need parts for those yr mustangs, mustang parts reaper in winter garden, I work with him 3-4 days a week.

  11661. Yeah, I’ll bet you don’t make that mistake again, 😅

  11662. Ray, why didn't the powers to be at BBK tell you the secret to installing these headers? You were to use the plasma cutter to create an access port in both wheel wells. 😮😮😮 Once completed you were to reinstall those panels with the supplied drywall screws. 😊😊😊 Duh...... What a great set of teaching videos about having the fortitude and patience to carry on and complete the work that you agree to. Anyone who has had this kind of problem happen to them and finished the job usually WOULD DO IT AGAIN! It can make you a better person! Good job Ray!

  11663. There will be 15-20 people in the comments that claim they or someone they know have done it.

  11664. At least they look really cool. Oh wait. You can't see them at all. Nevermind.

  11665. I really hope those headers add AT LEAST 9,000 hp for all that hard work!

  11666. Headers are always a PITA. Never installed any that didn't require pain, suffering and modification.

  11667. WD-40 is an odd story, it is a specific use item but people used it in a generic fashion for "everything" and even the product marketing is what normally abuse's a tool or product (look at radial arm saws) but the WD-40 marketing is a lot more limited than people think it is on the can. WD-40 is a lubricant protective for cold to hot weather temperatures. It is not a penetrating oil like most use it. It's purpose it to add a protective layer and can penetrate the surface layer of rust to stop more rust from forming. This stuff does have a limited time before it dries out but it also does not stop people from using it as a lubricant and then a few weeks later complain it does not work anymore when it dries out. WD-40's best uses are like on a machining vice or some other metal sliding surface that can have it reapplied. This can work with threads on a vice as example but again it needs to be reapplied.

  11675. Hi Ray, I hope you are having a great day. I have some food for thought for you. It is possible that if you were to include some of the below listed information in the video title that you may have your videos reach a wider audience. - Vehicle make, model, year, and miles - What mechanical work you are performing Reason this may increase your audience is that if someone were to search YouTube for keywords "Hyundai Sonata 2008 180,000 miles air intake issue" then your video would likely be listed. Consider expanding your videos into somewhat of a how to guide for those at home perhaps wanting to learn how to perform similar tasks and even novice mechanics being able to learn form your expertise in the art of vehicular tender loving care.

  11676. Omg you're torquing Battery terminals hahahahahah. Thats a little too Ocd. Bad enough your a mechanic and don't like getting dirty hahahahahaha. Should have been a surgeon Ray. Like spine. Heart. Gynecology. Idk that last one can be dirty also. Hahahahahaha

  11679.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  that's really interesting. Its cool to see differences in everything. Thanks for the video Ray

  11686. Concerning the trolls, I believe Mike Tyson said it best when he stated; " Social media made y'all way to comfortable with disrespecting people and not getting punched in the face for it." Keyboards have made too many people into bullies so much so that if they were confronted in person, they would go running to their Mommies.
    1
  11687. There is a difference between someone trying to be unique or creative maybe even blazing a new trail in customs. Verses just copying everyone else to look cool! Especially when they finance more in accessories than the value of there vehicle and it actually performs worse than in factory configuration!

  11688. the end is near when the 3800 fails

  11689. Just have to look at that truck and grin. Makes you go back to high school when you wasted your paychecks (yes we had jobs after school) on your beater for that "cool" factor, tires, rims , sound system (fuzzy dice was out by then).

  11703. We've all had one of the days Ray 👍🏻 🇬🇧
    1
  11704. How often do we encounter these situations where we know it “could’ve been us?” I’ve seen that so many times in my life and the life of others. My parents taught me to take time to pray everyday before I left home. I’ve served overseas in the military, traveled by land, sea and air. There comes a moment in our lives where we should understand that there is a much higher power than just our own luck/being.
    1
  11705. Good afternoon Ray.

  11720. Interesting move... I personally was thinking maybe you'd make a move towards teaching in stead of your own shop... because you've said many times you don't like dealing with (problematic) customers all that much and just want to do your job. Of course running your own shop you have to deal with all of the customers and you are directly responsible.
    1
  11721. That is awesome! When you open your new venture I would really like to be a customer. So please keep us informed.

  11722. I seen Prudent! I knew you were an Arduino fan.

  11726. Wherever you end up there better be a phone system that does “do dee do dee do”. Anything else would be a travesty!
    1
  11727. Don't lie, the internet bullied you into being successful with your own shop didn't they?
    1
  11728. Now you're going to have to have a random phone ringing in the background so we can hear the do do doo do doo singing occasionally, when making videos in that space.
    1
  11729. Ray is all about time! Skill,experience, knowledge and most importantly good customer service you definitely fit on all categories. Your boss will help you to start and guide you on what it takes to stay on your own God Bless you and what you do for all of us sharing your knowledge.
    1
  11730. "Ray, your videos (that you almost certainly asked for permission to shoot) are generating way too much positive attention for the shop while also documenting repairs in case of disputes. You're fired!" Seems logical to assume. Although, I guess you did sleep in that one day...
    1
  11731. Great whatever you will do. Buuut that phone with Doo-do-doo-do-doo MUST go with you - otherwise something is missing :D

  11732. Spread yer wings 'n fly Rainman...just don't burn any bridges behind you. GOOD LUCK.

  11741. When you do establish your own shop are you going to get a "do de do de do" phone?

  11747. Ha that’s awesome. A game of telephone that worked.

  11750. I was joking around with Ford Boss Me a week or two ago and said that he needed to drag himself out of the frigid cold, snow, and salt, and come down to sunny S. Florida and start R&R (Ray and Rich) Autoworks with you. LOL. Best of luck on your journey, Ray. We'll be here if you need us, and thank you for sharing your adventure with us. You'll do well at whatever you try because you care. Smart people can see that and that's what good reputations are built on.

  11751. So all it takes to break the internet and blow up someone else’s discord is the idea of a YT mechanic changing locations? What a strange community you’ve gathered.
    1
  11752. Good for you Ray, I am thinking about starting my own business too.
    1
  11753. Nothing like throwing the internet a curveball... the biggest problem I see is getting one of those phone ringers.. your posts would not be the same without it... doodle doodle loo....

  11754. I blame it all on Russian hackers.

  11755. Hope everything goes in the right direction for you.

  11756. I wish you success in your new endeavor. I don't usually leave comments. I am a loyal subscriber and watch all your videos. I even do the ringtone of the shop's phone everytime I hear a phone ringing. I'm addicted to clicks and I do them everywhere. I've learned so much from your videos. I have a really important question. What brand are those sunglasses? They look identical of s 😢unglasses that got destroyed by my airbag. Would you consider selling them to me? I can not find them anywhere. 💔
    1
  11757. Since watching your videos now a few months thought you as a great fitter stroke mechanic and thought you would do well out on your own just abit daunting and expensive setting up. Will always watch your content buddy what ever your doing. Andy in England 🇬🇧 👌

  11758. Congratulations on your upcoming changes and no matter what changes you make it won't change my viewing habits I enjoy your show

  11759. my dad's biggest issue in opening his own business was hiring competent and trustworthy people. Maybe you bring in a couple of apprentices, train up their skills and "frame of mind" then keep the good ones on and build your company slowly with value.
    1
  11760. The internet is on to you Ray lol 🤣😂
    1
  11761. You must have the doo dee doo phone ring at the new place.
    1
  11762. You HAVE to make sure you get that phone system with that ring! That's classic Ray. :)
    1
  11763. It's great to actually see your face as you talk to the camera.
    1
  11764. Whatever happens, we still need that telephone ringing PA system in the background. Even if it’s just a Amazon Alexa randomly making that noise, the viewers have needs.
    1
  11765. Good luck Ray👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
    1
  11766. Ray , when you get your own place will you have a loop phone ringing recording so you can continue saying duuuudidoooooooo?? that is part of the show.

  11772. YouTube videos are low cost production, low capital investment, low risk with an established demand and distribution channel. This is opportunity cost analysis of cannibalizing income from that stream to a physical business with overhead, utilities, travel, security, people, IRS filing, licensing, accounting, Secretary of State of Florida reporting and filings, mechanic lien prosecutions for deadbeats and a trillion other hassles that you would do well to analyze before poppen zee hood.

  11773. I got a 2004 Chevrolet blazer oil pan and timing chain cover I was saving for gm dealership to service. If yu get your shop up and going I'll make sure to be one of your first customers! I live in Jacksonville but it would be worth the trip!

  11779. I also enjoy the longer vids (Thank u Ray) Looked like u had a little trouble fitting the steering shaft,(i saw what looked like some encouragement marks on shaft after the the black out) lol. Just a little jab Ray we all know new parts or up grades don't always fit perfect. Keep up the good content !! Much appreciated 👏
    1
  11780. This video is heavily laced with euphemisms and innuendos that drive my teenage-like mind into overdrive! I probably said, "He said .....! " a hundred times. Great Fun! Thanks Ray.

  11789. I have a friend with a Ferd, he has had to replace the housing multiple times. Plastic crap. Pain in the ass he told me, now I see why. I would not know, I have a SBC.
    1
  11790. Sorry I can't stand to watch you suffer because of a stupid design
    1
  11791. Crack of dawn dropping videos 🤣😂🤣😂
    1
  11792. Ray doesn't need you badmouthing people. If he needs your help, he'll say so, unless he's working on vehicles...then he doesn't need your help, he's got it covered.😁
    1
  11793. First
    1
  11794. Ray... Honestly Man to Man... You need to have balls. You owe that shop nothing. They owe you more than they can ever pay you. A decision has been made and you need to stick to it. I know you left in a professional manner. But you owe them nothing. And with all your videos im sure you will not get into legal trouble.. you did not yourself try to defame the shop. You spoke well and didnt instigate the reviews. We are all here for you and obviously you made such an impression your fans are upset. Instead use this following to brand your own name. What it sounds like is your looking for a job and they might be afraid of the attention you might bring. But trust me there is somebody that needs your talent and will accept you as you are. But at this moment make a name for yourself in town that way when people go to your shop or use your business they know there car will be taken care of and respected. Cause once again for a shop to lose a technician such as yourself in this economy where people dont want to work speaks more on them than it does yourself. This is all smoke on the way to your next milestone. You were smart making this video to address it. Keep pushing forward!
    1
  11795. The internet is a double edged sword!!
    1
  11796. Go post a positive review about Ray 🙂
    1
  11797. Thanks!
    1
  11798. Hello my friend. Just stopping by to view, like and check up on you. Keep us informed.
    1
  11799. I know where you worked, even saw you pictured with the guys on their page. I also know you know that I know where you live, BUT I WOULD NEVER DO ANYTHING WITH THAT KNOWLEDGE. I might call them and hangup, But thats the worst. Sorry for another one of lifes experiences.
    1
  11800. I left a review, but I was a legit customer, not deleting mine.
    1
  11801. This is why he never told us where he worked.
    1
  11802. The destructive force of Social Media strikes again! I blame Zuckerberg.
    1
  11803. I have a suggestion. Let's support Ray with $2 on Super Thanks. If the majority of us help Ray this way it might open new opportunities and also help his family in this transition time. Just my idea and my $2. Thanks Ray for sharing with us your experiences.
    1
  11804. That’s no way to support Ray Ray
    1
  11805. Hello Ray, when are you going to put your upper control arms on your truck? And how is the fox shocks.
    1
  11806. Dang sorry that folks are doing that man.
    1
  11807. Leaving malicious negative reviews about Ray is really shameful. Whoever is doing it, needs to stop. Anyone with any sense, knows that he is a good man and a talented person. Get off his case.
    1
  11808. Professional as per ray, not watched a vid for a while, you still got it son!

  11809. First time I've seen a brake cleaner sword fight.
    1
  11810. I'ma buy you a box of brake clean for Christmas!!! ..lol
    1
  11811. Amen brother, preach on!
    1
  11812. I appreciated the pep talk about customer service as applied to your trade. I hope everyone heard the value of the "rant" as I did. Hope the family is doing well. May God continue to bless you, your family and your business 🙏 That brake cleaner double orchestra hit was pretty epic by the way 😅
    1
  11813. He said package!
    1
  11814. Stereo brake clean....
    1
  11815. Those black towers are breather tubes for the secret underground bunkers 😅😅😅😮
    1
  11816. That is why when I change struts I do it as a complete unit,...... it is easier & faster to do it that way.
    1
  11817. That's fair. Let the other shop have the chance to make their work RIGHT. Then if they can't or won't then you fix it.
    1
  11818. You hit that ring without missing a beat in the middle of a sentence!🤣🤣💀🤘✌️
    1
  11819. Service advisor fail. I have worked both sides. It is up to the advisor to help walk the customer through what their concern is.
    1
  11820. 286th! GOOD MORNING RAY! Roger in Pierre South Dakota
    1
  11821. Mechanic to service people: "Please let the customer know such and such and let him pay attention to this and that and report back when he notices something I mentioned." Service people to customer: "Car's ready!" *robotic smile*
    1
  11822. Hey Ray. Check out XTool scanners. They seem to have a pile of functions. I don't have one. I'm tempted, but being a retired tech, it would never pay for itself. Prices seem very good.
    1
  11823. best advise for customer: put a written note in the car in a noticible place detailing the problem. don't rely on a service writer to write stuff down
    1
  11824. I hear you on getting into auto transmissions. If you want me to fix something internal it either goes to a specialist or I can install a used transmission or a new one if still available. I don't get into rebuilding. People need to do a better job securing their load on the highways or rent or buy an enclosed trailer.

  11825. I bet blew a hole in the block and now a passage through the coolant from cylinder to cylinder.

  11831. For the love of live statistics
    1
  11832. I like that. On my ever-growing splurge list for my 2015 Kia Soul, I thought it would be fun to have a voltmeter and an oil pressure gauge like that.
    1
  11833.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  I know you said this on one of your most recent videos, we live in a false economy. Your not wrong. I don't know how many time i replaced a idler pulley on my older vehicle dam thing kept failing time after time again (bearing), anyway i got hold of a german made bearing and problem fix.
    1
  11834.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  . Shame on you Ray you want them to admit their mistake, 🙄 bite . Try making parts in America🇺🇲we used to have pride. Nowadays it's just about the MONEY,MONEY, MONEY. 🙃👍🙏
    1
  11835. Proudly made in America?
    1
  11836. They were just expecting some dumb ass tech to install it without looking it over so they’re wouldn’t be able to return it.

  11840. Seems the Engineers didn't take into account the thermal cycling stresses upon their design quality = Fail . These engineers have degrees !? = College Educated Idiots ! Must have been from the 2+2=5 education times !
    1
  11841. Not exactly precision quality.
    1
  11842. this made me pause while eating spoon halfway to my mouth...wtf?
    1
  11843.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  Thank you 🙏🏻 I started putting America First in the comments of all YT channels years ago for the idiots who have a need to post “First” and then nothing else , just FIRST. It’s annoying and I wanted to bring attention to the idiocracy. It’s not my fault that the next President has chosen the America First as his own.

  11844. vacuum pump on a gasoline engine? just like electric parking brakes, a solution to a problem that doesn't exist.
    1
  11845. Reeeeeeeeedacted 😅
    1
  11846. I like all video you put out. Information good.
    1
  11847. Don't replace the hub on the RAM just for the minor scratched caused by the parking brake hardware. Would be a total useless upsale IMHO. No hate, just my opinion.
    1
  11848. Love the KMart
    1
  11849. The sarcasm is strong in this one..... :D Enjoy watching your videos from Australia.

  11851. I have a German car. The manual calls out gud-n-tight.

  11853. Used to call engines like that "rain gauges"

  11854. You taking a lead from Eric’s channel. @IDoCars

  11855. R.I.P
    1
  11856. That engines been sitting outside under a tree with the intake manifold removed for a while.
    1
  11857. Ray said it was 4 bolt and rare. I agree with you. It would be a challenge, but do-able.
    1
  11858. I'm amazed to see you working on a real engine and not one of the over engineered things that come in the newer cars
    1
  11859. Wow a short video. For you anyway
    1
  11860. block is worth saving
    1
  11861. Definitely needs a complete rebuild. Nice video Ray. 👍🏻
    1
  11862. I’m digging the chipmunk voice!
    1
  11863. This engine should be rebuilt.4 bolt main enough said.
    1
  11864. Eric will be soooooooo jealous. An easy to remove dipstick tube!
    1
  11865. You didn't hurl the water pump out of the shop so this is not an @I_Do_Cars style tear down.
    1
  11866. 11 mm pan bolts? That’s ‘merica stuff…7/16th 😉
    1
  11867. Maybe worth mentioning for the uninitiated, this is absolutely NOT the way to take apart an engine that you have any intention of reusing. This one was clearly junk, but if you think it might have good parts, watch some other video on taking and engine apart.
    1
  11868. Eric at I Do Cars would be envious of that super easy dipstick removal.
    1
  11869. Rear Wheel drive G8 GXP - 6speed, thats the holy grail of the last of the Pontiac breed.

  11870. Ray as usual you knocked it out of the park. Great video with lots of information. I was a big fan of the pontiac.Keep em coming!!
    1
  11871. im over in the uk. don't really know much about pontiac other than if i remember rightly from my younger years they had the 1977 trans-am which was used in smokey and the bandit films that was a cool car!.
    1
  11872. Gosh Ray, you destroyed a perfectly reusable cotter pin. What the heck man... 🤣🤣🤣
    1
  11873. Thank you for this exciting video Ray! You have a good day!!!
    1
  11874. that "kill people" bolt should be named that but sadly its not

  11878. Ray are you going to call your truck ESCARADO since it’s part Escalade and part Silverado😂😂😂
    1
  11879. Omg watching you operate that crane was painful. Reeeee
    1
  11880. Gotta send the miata engine to eric!
    1
  11881. Give it away!! There is definitely some mom or dad out there without a car or a broken car they can’t afford to fix, and would be extremely grateful for this car!

    1
  11901. click == klick. same, same...
    1
  11902. Curious sir Ray, (if you read this) where does your waste you capture go to?
    1
  11903. Hi Ray, thanks for keeping us all entertained. Click is klick auf deutsch ;) so same same
    1
  11904. Why did I watch this. I drive over these things.
    1
  11905. But maybe they wanna be part of the "ever since" club. Most guys on here know what that means......
    1
  11906. I'd say you didn't lose. You are clear of a job in which the customer won't take your word that something is important enough to pay for.
    1
  11907. Well I see the biggest problem is it a Japanese Honda burn it and nuke china for the Wuhan viral false flag .
    1
  11908. Eric O is cackling maniacally right now.
    1
  11909. well dont just use some harbour f bolts...put some snap ons they are better than factory :)
    1
  11910. 90 days for bolts? Unbelievable
    1
  11911. when yer done could you please adjust the headlights? Nothing more annoying than driving towards one of these jack-wagons with mis-aligned lights!!
    1
  11912. Holey she-ite! 400k +, GOOD JOB RAY!!

  11917. This was a “Very Good Video” you exhibited many techniques that surely were acquired over many years. Of course Wife Unit was integral for the success.
    1
  11918. This is called a Tuesday at any mechanics shop in the north east
    1
  11919. Ray, your wife is a sweetheart❤
    1
  11920. At least most of the truck will stop now.
    1
  11921. Shop dog wants to leave 😅
    1
  11922. Thanks!
    1
  11923. Nice song..."in the end it doesn't even matter".... Sorta like rust in the wind....all we are is 'Rust in The Wind'...
    1
  11924. It is a male mosquito. The females are the small ones that bite.
    1
  11925. The frame is still solid idk what you guys are talking about. It's rusty but here in Illinois I've seen Alot worse. I'm more shocked it doesn't have Alot of electrical issues bad wiring corrosion etc.
    1
  11926. Those giant mosquitoes don't suck your blood, like the little ones do. Instead several of them get together to carry you off deep into the Everglades to feed their family! 😮 That poor truck either came from somewhere up North where they salt the roads in wintertime, or it has spent its life on a Florida beach taking frequent dips in salt water! Even so, it has to be one of the most luxurious and expensive "farm trucks" I've ever seen. Pete must be a real "gentleman farmer".😂 Ray, as bad as those front brakes were, did you check the rears too? I bet you did, just didn't include in the video.
    1
  11927. I think those were deck screws step up from drywall screws
    1
  11928. YAY!!! Brake Clean effects!! Thanks Ray! Cheers!
    1
  11929. Love the careful teardown!! It's awesome to see all the bits and pieces that hold things together and make a car go. Thank you for your wonderful content as usual =)
    1
  11930. Fun game for this episode: drink every time he says "More hardware."
    1
  11931. Was watching VGG where he was building his NASCAR burn truck big block and he went "click" !!!! Awesome
    1
  11932. I have ben wondering when you were going to put a big daddy sean in your videos 🤣🤣 nice add in👍
    1
  11933. OMG, I spoke too soon, he did use it on the car!!!! WHEEEEEEEEE
    1
  11934. there is also a handleless impact with that impact head, its like the head of that impact with an air hose attached to it with the trigger on the hose, no need to worry about the flex head's handle. astro 1831 and 1830, palm impact wrench.
    1
  11935. Is it different from the 5.3 because we don’t pull the intake i use a swivel
    1
  11936. Ray, just adding another comment in here, bud. Please don't let the REEEE comments get you down. A LOT of those type of commenters are nothing more than TROLLS that are just out to get a reaction from you. Hang in there pal., because you DO a GREAT job and everything you do shows that.
    1
  11937. Haha let me adjust my wrist and elbow to 44in lbs. Click!
    1
  11938.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  I do agree that not removing the plenum would have left a tiny fiber-cam video. I was by no means digging you at all in my comment other then to say that I'm pretty sure you left the old filter screen down in that hole. Like I said in my comment, I had to make a curtain wire fish hook deal to get that dern filter screen out of the hole because the O ring seal was holding it in there pretty tight. I made the hook so it was tight and would split hard into the screen when I tugged it out. Again, I did this blind with the plenum on in under 2 hours with plenty of breaks for a cig since it's not very comfortable laying on the engine standing backwards on a ladder lol. I always like your vids, soldier on I say with your great channel bro.
    1
  11939. Another great video
    1
  11940. As much as I like your videos, the music in the background is making it unwatchable. It may be out of your control .
    1
  11941. Google told me you suck so I had to stop by and see if that was correct...I'm happy to report google is full of crap lol
    1
  11942. You know, i read a lot of these comments about not being so worried about cutting your hands. About how it should be an hour max. I have to side with ray. First, its not about the one or two cuts from this job. Us shade tree guys will happily trade that for the occasion it comes up for some extra time off the road. For the pro, it is about all the cuts, bruises and injuries that occur from making a habit of it. It is about havig ground beef for hands at the end of a week. As far as the it should take an hour or less, labor guides are there for a reason. Without them some folks short change themselves on their good skills and investment in better tools. Others would take advantage of the fact that the time comes down to their word against a customers. It is there to protect both sides. Dont like it? Do it yourself. I rarely take my truck in for service. Usually it saves me loads of cash, sometimes not. If i I were Florida and needed service, i would be happy to have ray turn the wrench.

  11947. Lots of criticism from people who either didn't read the title, watch the whole video or even worse, did and still felt the need to add a comment from the good old armchair perspective. The CUSTOMER brought the new part in and wanted it fitting because he KNEW what was wrong with it. These customers exist in every town and every city the world over. Also RE removing the inlet manifold. There are a gazillion configurations of this engine and many of them you can reach the sensor, but that depends on the vehicle. Many people pointed out that the gauge had a reading at the end of the video, but that ONLY tells you there is currently oil pressure, we never got a total run down of symptoms. Honestly... Customer should have dug further and learnt it's likely the o-ring that seals the oil pick up tube to the oil pump.

  11949. you did it right. on the trucks, its nearly impossible to actually get back there without being a contortionist. your work time, no one elses. I did the one on my cargo van, and damn is it nice to pull the doghouse and just be able to reach the entire engine.

  11983. Ray I'm not at all surprised that you got in trouble with the stealership. Your customer friendly attitude is incompatible with the high corporate greed at GM.

  11984. Every manufacture has there ghosts,
    1
  11985. Ray, you're letting the "Re" people live rent free in your head :( Do what you have to do to stay mentally healthy, and if trying to beat the "Re" people to the comment is how you need to do it, then I for one support you. Going to give you my opinion though, and it's only that, an opinion. It's starting to take away from the videos, hearing you constantly "reeee, can't do this, or that". Trying to make a negative a positive is a good thing, and I'm not bashing on you, saying it's right or wrong, only that it's seems to be starting to become a main thing of your video (as in, we can pretty much guarantee you'll be doing the "reeeee" thing :( . Take care of your head man, but you might want to stop letting them live in your head? Either way, I myself will continue to be a fan and support.

  11986. cut the core ends off and show every one the micro channels ,now you will see the condenser is a filter now and why u have to change them when a compressor fails. also please get u a micron gauge for your ac vacuum test

  11987. it has sorry cant type correctly lol braon moves faster than the fingers can type

  11988. That's exactly what it is. Crookery and thievery. Cheap parts made cheap, on purpose, and then the replacement is very expensive. GM and most manufacturers make money off of overpriced parts. At the expense of their customers. And GM moved manufacturing to China. At the expense of American jobs. That was a disgrace. And GM took the bailout money. Ford did not. Taxpayer money because the sleazy government only spends other people's money.

  11989. I’m from north ga and it’s pretty rough up here too. I was driving over power lines all down the highway this morning on my way to work.

  11990. This condenser GM hack does look familiar to me after you show the cuts..... But there is good news and bad news in this, the bad news is, GM makes a lousy condenser, the good news is it gives mechanics like you and those after market folks a way to make a living so you can pay for my retirement, thankyou...... PS. and 411, Proper internet etiquette is to let folks know that you plan on reading comments, that way I'll know when I can post something sarcastic without you knowing, I read that in etiquette book that I wrote 60 years ago. But I do think it's fascinating making a comment/short note that can be read in 2 hours when 100 years ago it would take 2 months for response. I did have a couple zingers lined up but I'll wait til I know your not reading comments..............

  12002. All those bolts and nuts would be rusty and a bear to get off here in Minnesota.
    1
  12003. If I were RR, wouldn’t put anything in writing that i soldered the wires, but would just put on the Work Order that i ‘reseated the connection’.
    1
  12004. that 3.8 is one of the best motors gm/chevy made
    1
  12005. Ray, one of the seldom times I would give you advice. When you did a wire repair several weeks ago I mentioned side by side soldering was fine for low current repairs, I don't know what kind of current draws exist on modern headlights, but to be safe I would twist the wires together and then solder them. If a soldered repair on headlights fails while driving, you have no mechanical bond to prevent a total loss of lighting. In this case, yes, you would have the other headlight--- but for how long? Also, if you got the soldering stand with 2 roach clips, put the insulation in the clip, not the bare wire. Normally I would also suggest staggering your joints, but the customer left you no option on this one. Please don't take this as knocking your work. Just suggesting a better way to do it.
    1
  12006. Hello

  12007. First comment maybe lol

  12047. If it somehow survives, add one ball bearing to each cylinder and fire it up full throttle if it can be obtained, then do the full teardown of the engine, transmission and differential to she everyone the carnage you have caused! After all of this fun, using parts from flood victims vehicles and junkyard trucks, rebuild it, register it and run it ! With full disclosure of what has been done and the cost of doing it!

Ha, Pretty much everyone has to fix that bolt hole, and with the other piston type of tensioner, you end up doing 2 bolt holes. that alum is very soft and eats threads all the time. don't over tighten, did I say that loud enough? NOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooo. oh yea the rear leak is the seperator plate, doesn't look like it has been changed, The Joy of Subaru, oh yea 346,000 miles on my 95 subaru.

  12059. Ray has the balls to; 1. Start his own business 2. Share his trial's, tribulations, tips, tricks and problems with you all 3. He doesn't seem to be too fazed by the advice of the "MY WRENCH IS BIGGER AND BETTER THAN YOURS" crowd. 4. What works for Ray may not work for you, so what. If all of you naysayers had just one quarter ball of what he is doing, maybe his real fans might pay attention to you instead. Play nice commentors, the winners get the 😊!

  12068. First time viewer, just curious about your thoughts on battery terminal coatings. Thanks and I did subscribe, like your video and style.
    1
  12069. 7:50: "The install proceedure is the inverse of the removal proceedure." -- this is a very generalized statement that is absolutely true. In some math classes, we learn compositions h(x)=f(g(x)) and we learn what the inverse h^(-1)(x) would be, namely that it's g^(-1)(f^-1(x)). Most students understand that we must invert both f and g, but few understand why the reverse order. In h(x), g is applied first, but in h^(-1)(x), f^(-1)(x) is applied first. In your work here you: (a) took the clip in Starter solenoid connector off (b) took the positive bolt on cable off (c) took the back bolt out (d) took the front bolt out (e) removed the starter So, to invert, we do the opposite in the opposite order, namely: e^(-1) Put the new starter in d^(-1) Put the front bolt in c^(-1) Put the back bolt in b^(-1) Put the positive bolt on cable back a^(-1) Put the Starter solenoid connector back We also see that some operations commute, namely (c) and (d), and if the operations commute, so do their inverses. But, some don't commute, like (d) and (e). It's nice to see algebraic structures be so hands-on. It's also quite intuitive when hands on, less so symbolically, but the same idea either way.

  12076.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  Hi, I am replying to your comment here in hopes it send you a notification. I just wanted to bring up the reason why I Never connect the negative first. If you connect the Negative first then any slight touch of the Positive cable to ground anywhere will complete the circuit with lots of current to spark or do other damage. However if you don't have the Negative connected, the positive can touch anything and not cause any problems. After the Positive is connected, the Negative cable can touch almost anything but the Positive and not cause any issues. Great work in the videos by the way !

  12081. I do the chemical on turbo charged depending on how many miles. Yes there is a risk of a piece coming off into the turbo. But. I'm also trained. Haven't had an issue. Course I haven't done a turbo engine with 100's of 1000's of miles cause I won't. Unless it's mine which is done every 30k to prevent this. My only concern. How many walnuts sacrificed their life to clean these valves?

  12123. It's a DOT-SOON!!! 💜💙💚 the intro!
    1
  12124. Follow-up. I don't think I'm personally a fan of the interstitials throughout. I think they are just distracting.
    1
  12125. I really love it. Would love to see some variations of the intro with other Ray-isms "Another", "Do doodly do", "Nice and Shiney!". I like the quick highlight, intro, then back to good-ol' Ray content.
    1
  12126. I like it. Graphics really pop.
    1
  12127. Well the zeon graphics are late 80s corny. Cracks me up. I'm here for the content. Any great layman's explanation on O2 sensor normal readings and what to expect is good stuff, also fuel trim info. That's the stuff I dig. Great diag work. Keep kicking ass.

  12137. You are right, it was because it was Sunday.

  12138. Check out napa trax,it's a very good system

  12141. In the UK, some places have cheaper prices for the consumer anyway. Maybe you've not lost much?!
    1
  12142. When you have low pay turnover, this is what happens. I needed ignition wires for a railroad track inspection car. They couldn't sell me any, because the computer wouldn't allow it without a make/model entered. Needless to say, parts store computers do not have entries for a 1976 Fairmont MT-19, other than thinking it's a Ford. To this day, there's probably someone at that company's headquarters trying to figure out why this guy in Georgia bought only two spark plug wires for a Jeep. It was the only way to get out of the store.
    1
  12143. Same problem across all the mechanical trades right now, I think Covid completely broke the machine. Sadly customer service is almost nonexistent anymore.

  12144. Sales droids , does not comute.

  12145. Thats just sad. People are as useless as they seem these days.

  12146. We are in Walmurt world... Pay more, get less... You know what I'm talking about.... 😂

  12147. Here in Jersey, you call the parts store and they deliver parts, you pay them and done.
    1
  12148. Pretty funny watching the video I recognized the road you were driving on. Really cool to see my favorite YouTube mechanic lives nearby!
    1
  12149. Ray, try this... if u have a business name, business license, sit in your office , call a parts store, order a five figure part and they will set you up an account or ask them to set you up an account because you want them to be your parts source.. good luck. Remember, be on the phone with them. If they have instructions for you to do, do it. Don't forget to have a nice day.
    1
  12150. Good help is hard to come by, I guess.
    1
  12151. Keep your chin up and go home and relax. You have a beautiful family and you’ll do great in your new self employed career. Don’t sweat it.
    1
  12152. Sounds like canada,nobody knows how to do things properly
    1
  12153. Sounds like you found a guy that had a late night sat and hoping to just slide through Sunday without having to do a bunch of thinking. Good luck, there has to be somebody out there that wants your money. Had a boss that set up an account with napa for supplies for his smaller equipment and you couldn't throw a rock without hitting a NAPA salesmen wanting to know if we needed anything.
    1
  12154. I always tuck my tail before I go home. That way it never surprises me
    1
  12155. Sunday
    1
  12156. Maybe you ran into a handful of people quiet quiting. Unlucky break. Go home, have a wobbly pop and a bacon cheeseburger to combat todays woes.
    1
  12157. Trying to do what you wanted on a Sunday was probably a non-starter. Wait until next week. Call the places you want to do business with and ask to talk to the manager.
    1
  12158. yeah well it seems to me all the parts stores have been like that for at least 15 years now.
    1
  12159. So much for the title"parts professional".

  12160. Welcome to Generation Z.
    1
  12161. Ray, pick a few stores that are close to the Shop. Sometimes they will be out of stock at one. Prompt Delivery is important. Not over 4 miles away.
    1
  12162. From another small business owner: Monday mornings, the moment they open their doors. That's the manager you need to talk to. Weekends are usually relegated to the least trained, least experienced staff. Because that's expected to be their slowest days. They barely know how to unlock the doors and get the registers up and running...little else.
    1
  12163. Motor factors have gone crap lately Ray, they aren't car guys anymore.
    1
  12164. Sounds like there’s no incentive for employees to do there job to the best of there ability…….wages? Benefits? A leadership fail……
    1
  12165. I am a former employee/manager at a Checker Auto. I loved commercial customers. I made sure to train all of my employees how to setup accounts. I would have to verify all information. The lack of training is HUGE problem. Most of these kids have no idea what the books are for. If it's not in the computer, you are out of luck.
    1
  12166. Ray you went in on a sunday most of the ones who set those things up only work monday thru saturday
    1
  12167. Call corporate.
    1
  12168. Ray, the workforce of today is the "Everybody gets a trophy" generation that have never been trained properly or just don't give a dam. It's really sad. Many of these young people don't know how to do simple tasks and people like us suffer from their lack of interest and knowledge. It's not a Rant it's a sign of the times. And you say?.
    1
  12169. Glad you're sharing, probably feels better to do so.

  12170. Call Napa corporate & set up an account tomorrow morning

  12213.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  exactly. In my case, it was me sharing and giving a much smaller channel exposure, and the he surpassed me and he’d be a dick and send his supporters to harass me. Anyways. I just passed my first interview with a Mitsubishi dealership here in Kansas City and have my second (final) interview Monday. All I know is walmart auto care center. Oil, tires, batteries, and headlights. Now I’ll have to learn brakes and much more. But I’m excited. Doing just oil changes all day, every day… isn’t much fun. Excited to learn more.
    1
  12214.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  oh no! I’m sorry to hear that. I’m a YouTuber myself (half your channel size) and dealt with that myself. Sucks when two people don’t get along. Or one party is mean towards the other. Thanks for the info.

  12228. To add to my last comment for the know it alls every abs pump ive ever seen go bad in the last 30yrs u lost brakes like a bad master cylinder. Drive u crazy because they wont throw a code . U have to get into the pump itself to figure it out.

  12265. Does the owner of the box truck believe that Ford is going to warranty them for stupidity? I suspect the dealer guy is going to pee his pants from laughing so hard.
    1
  12266.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  Wow, thanks Ray for the information. Still the guy putting the gas into the truck had to be blind not to notice the signs on truck on pumps. Love this channel. I really enjoy watching all the different things that go into car repair and someone who knows their stuff.

  12267. Ron Pratt midwest truck could do this easily. Too bad he is in MO.
    1
  12268. To all those criticizing the first tow operator, calling him “Stupid”, or “an idiot”. STFU, you have no idea what you are talking about. Even those who claim they “ran wreckers before”. I have been a tow truck operator for over 20 years, and I can tell you that this operator made that right call. He gave up after realizing that it was too heavy for his truck. It was NOT his fault he was dispatched a call that he would not be able to complete. It was NOT his fault that he didn’t know that a loaded F450 cannot be safely towed with his deck truck. It was his dispatcher that sent him the call and it was the owner/manager of the company that failed to give home the proper training required to do his job safely and effectively. I give him mad props for calling his dispatcher and telling them to send a bigger truck. At some companies, whether it is right or wrong, you get put on the shit list for refusing a call, even though you may be justified in doing so. IMO, that is the only reason why he tried for so long.
    1
  12269. Hope they unhooked the driveshaft on that truck, If not you may be installing a transmission in it also....

  12275. I make my living with a tool box full of tools. I love cars too, but I will never be a car mechanic because I would lose my sanity working on some if the junk designed by total idiots. I think they have a running contest who can build something that will be most expensive, difficult to work on and last the shortest time after the warranty expires.

  12278. I'm sorry, but I think you urgently need to buy a support for your camera so you can have your hands free to work, a petoral support or one for your head, it really would be good because as I've seen your videos so many times you always end up little rolled up to use only one hand, well this is my idea don't take it badly ok .for the rest as I said I like to see your movies because I already like who I am a mechanic

  12283. Mr. Ray I want to say thank you for this video I learned a hell of a lot because I do not work on Toyotas but my wife is thinking about getting a minivan like the one you’re working on because of gas is so expensive. Thank you for all the knowledge and don’t ever forget knowledge is priceless because you take it with you even to the grave but when you start to spread it around your legend continues to live and that’s a fact so thank you so very much I am one of your students I do appreciate everything you have done for me so far and all I can say is thank you and probably donate some money to your account. I will donate some money to your account but I’m not a rich man I’ve been disabled for a long time so I live on disability month by month but I put away just a little bit enough that doesn’t even make sense but thank you so much sir I do appreciate it God bless you and your family and your friends and all the viewers even the mean ones but let’s not forget about your shop our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and our father Yahweh in spiritual heaven has blessed you so much your shop is growing and I knew it was going to grow I knew it , and those people saying you’re going to fail you prove them wrong ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. I just want to say sir just remember small steps lead to big steps but don’t ever ever ever forget to always give thank you to our father Yahweh in spiritual heaven and Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior because as fast as you got it you can lose it faster . Take care for now looking forward to other videos especially tomorrow’s. ✝️✝️✝️🇺🇸

  12298. As I'm watching this video I have a 2021 Tahoe sitting in my bay for a set of lifters for this issue. I've had one of these turn the pushrod into the shape of a recurve bow recently as well.

  12299. Don't take it personal when people don't look at you. A lot of people have social anxiety and don't know how to react when someone interacts with then unexpectedly. Covid has made this even worse as people were allowed to feel comfortable distancing themselves from people.

  12309. Inside the electric motor on the column there's a rubber bushing inside the motor that gets worn out you can take the motor apart and replace it or just get the whole motor from the dealer

  12316. Internet-Protip: You can do these oil pressure switches without pulling the intake manifold. Actual-Protip: Just pull the dang intake manifold. It's not worth the gray hair and new fancy wrist joints you'll develop doing it the other way. Besides, by the time these things need oil pressure switches, they also probably could use intake manifold gaskets.

  12320.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  I believe the correct answer is that shops want to charge you $300 or more to pull and replace the intake. They want to do it how the book says to do it so they make more. I simply searched on youtube and found plenty of videos showing how to do it without removing the intake. A couple of extensions, a swivel and the correct socket is all that is needed. I did it on my Silverado with the 5.3L in roughly 30 minutes. All it cost me was the price of the sensor and a little of my time. I don't charge myself labor! LOL!!! I love watching your videos. You are a great mechanic!

  12336. There's way too much electronic gobbledygook on modern vehicles. You don't need all that garbage. You need a wire to the coil, and spark plug wires, and your charging system and starting system. No reason for all that other shit, except to charge more money. A 67 dump truck didn't require all that shit, and you could run it for several hundred thousand miles.

I’ve seen others comment, and I agree, that thing will never drive right again. I saw waaaay to many things that were bendy. But you don’t get paid to worry about such things. Good series, I enjoyed that. Also learned that I never want to take apart a Camry. Thanks for the content, glad you didn’t get hurt.

  12411. Since you asked... A week ago, we got a crapton of snow (more than a foot of the heavy wet stuff -- great snowman weather) that I still haven't completely dug out of (just the driveway and the sidewalk to the front door), followed by a week of temperatures in the single digits above and below zero (F) and 20 mph winds. For the past three days, we've been (barely) above freezing during the day, causing a great deal of melting. Today we're in the mid 30s with rain. Next week they say we'll be in the 40s. Downright balmy for this time of year...

I used to diagnose with a code reader, test light (power probe) and a volt meter. When it comes to A/C clutch, hvac fan, even a no crank, I always check for power and ground, and signal voltage (or ground) first. But, on some things, I go straight for the scan tool. At least you didn’t spend an entire day chasing an unfastened ground (trans shop) because I wanted to see what I could accomplish with my shiny new tool.

  12457. As a guy who works at Advance Auto, and it pisses me off when both items comes to our store and it is obvious that someone installed the item and there is grease and dirt from our warehouse or shipped from another store. Even worse when a shop installs a gas pump and pulls it out to return to use because they find it was a bad wire/connector was their problem. Guess what, that shop owns that pump.
    1
  12458. OBVIOUSLY the original purchaser that returned used items is ultimately at fault!!! Next in line would be the seller, who should have checked the merchandise when it was returned before reselling it... But in no way is @RainmanRay'sRepairs at fault whatsoever!!! He's the one that should be pissed! Anyone else that thinks otherwise, is definitely not the sharpest crayon in the box... 😜

  12483. Nice custom power plant! How about adding a couple of solar panels on the roof of the tool box?
    1
  12484. Keep an eye on the temperature of the various wires. I know this was just a temporary test, but I am concerned about the size of the cables runing back to the inverters. You're talking about 7000 watts on the two inverters you have now and considering adding another. Ohm's Law P=I*E so 7,000 watts divided by 12v is 583 amps at full load. That's over 8x what the 4ga cable can handle (it's only rated to 70a). Look up ampacity charts, and keep in mind that cable size should be selected for no more than 80% of capacity for continuous duty. You can get away with smaller wires at higher loads for short term (such as starting the engine), but a continuous load supporting your home overnight is going to put a lot of heat into those cables. You saw how hot the short battery cable jumper got driving only the heat gun, and that was pulling less than 20 amps. Of course, your alternators are never going to supply 583 amps to the toolbox, but even at the ~240 or so capacity you have, you would need something in the ballpark of a 4/0 cable. You can get away with smaller conductors for the short runs from the batteries to the inverters, but it's still going to generate a lot of heat (wasted power).
    1
  12485.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  I understand your reasoning now. I took your comment of "10,000 watts" too literally as verbatim...that's my fault. If you only need a couple thousand watts and have to spike over that periodically (i.e. fridge compressor starting), both DR44's will be more than sufficient. Kill-A-Watt meters are also a great way to help calculate loads. Cheers.
    1
  12486. I think you may have mistaken the math some, Ray. Even at 100% efficiency and zero loss, a 145 amp alternator will not even supply 2,000 watts. Of course there is efficiency loss in the power inverter(s), so you won't even get 1,500 watts of output from that alternator. Having 10,000 watts of inverters will be meaningless as the system cannot keep up. The two deep cycle batteries (~100aH combined) by themselves would only provide maybe an hour of runtime if you're drawing 2,000 watts of power draw. Realistically, you'd need two high out alternators to try and break 500A if you want 5,000 watts of reliable power.

  12496. Anecdote from back when I was turning wrenches: Me: "I broke this, need a new one..." (screwdriver) Snap-on guy: "What happened?" Me: "Blah blah blah A,B,C" Fills out paperwork, grabs me a new one, hands it to me. Snap-on guy "Okay, now what REALLY happened?" Me: "Blah blah blah X,Y,Z" Him: "You DUMBASS!!! .....see ya next week!"

  12497. Top work that was mega satisfying 😎✌️

  12498.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  Okay, Rainman "Mr. Grammer" Ray. "And who says welding with pliers isn’t abnormal use?" I think you meant to say, "And who says welding with pliers IS abnormal use?" Or "And who says welding with pliers isn’t NORMAL use?" So, are you admitting it is indeed abnormal use? Perchance a Freudian slip? Irregardless (Ha ha ha), hoisted on your own petard, Ray!

  12499. The trick I did for the driver's rear bolt was a small piece of steel bolted into the 5th bolt hole that reached over the edge of the bolt. That way no tool damage and kept my hand out of the way.
    1
  12500. I was doing this to a 4.8l LS yesterday. I suck a welding and man it was frustrating but I managed to remove the (2) bolts broken off below the head surface eventually. I was working on a GMC savanna 2500 van It had (4) broken bolts on the driver side and (2) on the passenger side. (4) of the 6 were protruding like your 1st one and I got those out with vice grips. The last 2 were the front and rear bolts on the driver side. This is one of the FEW times I would rather work on a van than than truck or SUV. I pulled off the wheels and reached right in 5/6 are in plain view all but the rear bolt . The rear bolt was pretty easily accessible from the removed dog house in the passenger compartment.

  12502. US Government: Aliens told us you need to stop politing Also US Government: Give the military more money so they can dump another 51 million metric tons of CO2 into the atmosphere. P.s. Dont breathe them Zinc fumes, Ray. They'll eat holes in your brain.

  12503. The aliens didn't tell them since ww2 but now that the globalists want to Enact digital currency and carbon tax they spoke up. Obviously.

  12504. have had both kinds of shifters.

  12505. Ray, the Congressional hearing was total nonsense! Not possible for aliens to reach us if they wanted to, the distances are too far to travel, even for robotic devices. Besides as you said, "What do aliens care about what we do to ourselves." The whole thing was a fictional TV show for entertainment purposes and was a total was to government tax money to produce nonsense for pollical grandstanding purposes. UFO, are UNIDENTIFIED FLYING OBJECT, UNIDENTIFIED, means we don't know, so therefore why talk about what we don't know?

  12513. Admin days suck on the bottom line but are part of running a small business. Not enough employees to get everything done without dragging the boss in yet costs are to high to absorb an employee doing it full time.

  12527. Breaking this circuit down... Alternators generate AC power, that AC power goes through a diode bridge to turn it into DC power to charge the battery and power the vehicle. That DC in the system is going to power an Inverter that turns the DC back to AC. That AC is powering the battery charger that turns that AC back into DC to charge the dead batteries on the tow truck. Alternator + Diode Bridge AC to DC -> 12V Batteries -> Inverter 12VDC to 120vAC -> Battery blaster 9000 120vAC to ~12vDC -> 12v Batteries on tow truck... There is no reason for this long comment other than the fact I can now say, "It might be long, complicated and unusual, but it still works." ;P

  12570. Try flipping your Teflon tape roll and tossing it to your dominant hand. It'll become easier to hold tension while wrapping. A consistent fitting in left hand, start at the top, and wrap away from you setup becomes routine for right hand thread. Just a little, what I likely may have offered if I was standing there, comment.

  12637. Rainman Ray's Repairs, I will tell you an Old STORY about my 1969 Mustang Coupe. A chain of auto repair stores, had in for inspection. Mechanic told me my Power Steering was bad. I was watching him playing with my steering LOL, and I knew more about my old classic car then he did. I ask him would you like to retract that statement about my Power Steering issue, as I smiled. And why he ask; first its a power Steering Assist AND you have to turn on the car first to check the steering! And by the way, as I stated, the shop manual is on the back seat AND states that fact. And I Passed inspection! LOL! This episode happened in the mid 1980's. And yes, I did my own work on this car & also put a Power Steering Control Value Unit yrs prior. These old classic cars are so easy to work on its child's play. I did my own ball joints, Radiator, heater core, water pump, by-pass intake manifold, Put in a new carburetor; did the Alternator, Voltage Regulator, Repaired the wire harness, yes I did it all. My 1969 Mustang had 253,000 miles on it until yr 2000, a car ran a red light & I was totaled! Now I have a Truck a 1999 F150 with a 4.6 V8 when I bought it over 10yrs ago, had 73,000 and now over 200,000 just got the transmission overhauled, cost $3,300. Tips; Marvel Mystery Oil in the fuel. SLICK50 once a yr in the oil change during the summer. I also do this in my 1969 Mustang, I could still pump it up to 85-90 mph easy. I tightened the suspension, put gas shocks, Sway bar in the rear, had a welder put my sleeves I made in the rear frame, heavier sway bar in the front, I could go around a corner flat in that old 69' mustang. 2 Barrel Carb, kept in simple on steel rims & moon hub caps. I did a lot of work on it, called it my Wife LOL! Rainman Ray's Repairs you are a rare one! GOOD JOB!

  12650. Hey Ray, looks like everyone wants an engine autopsy. Me too!!! Can't wait for the next episode !!!
    1
  12651. The longest I've seen a heavily modified engine last is just under 30,000 miles. Not sure why people think they can make something even better by reengineering their daily with aftermarket parts that do not have anywhere near the R&D the factory parts did. I can hear it now, AFM, AFM, AFM...Still engineered and tested much more than the aftermarket parts installed in that engine to "make it better." The odds of failure go up, not down.

  12682. Hi Ray from Southern Illinois. I'm sure you are aware of it and already checked it. But if you haven't just wanted to give you a heads up. I worked in an auto repair shop for a long time. At least once a month we checked the torque on the nuts that hold the 2 post lifts to the concrete. Ours were around 120 foot pounds. If you have or notice at least 1 inch of threads above the nut or nuts, and they won't torque and get tight it could mean the wedge is starting to fail. We had one pull up on the back side and started to lean in when we started to raise a vehicle. It's something that needs to be checked regularly. It could save someone's life or prevent a lot of damage to something on a lift. Love both your channels, and your no nonsense straight to it attitude. Take care 😊
    1
  12683. All I know for sure (2nd Comment) is you have impressed me many times with your compassion for others and it sure seems to me you would give the shirt off your back as well as shoes etc. to help others, I don't even know all the people you helped but I am pretty sure it was many times more then we saw, I am absolutely Positive that everyone was extremely grateful for your help, Your only 1 person . For those ray was mentioning about rich Blah Blah. It matters not if they have $1 Million or $5 if you cannot access it and have no water or food both are equal and need help so those who have the ability to help have the responsibility to help regardless of the financial situation of the people previously. Sorry RAY but that attitude the person had just really got under my skin and I had to give my 1 Cent worth. Can you tell I am commenting as I watch the video??
    1
  12684. I started watching your channel during Hurricane Ian a couple years ago and thought your prepping was fascinating content. This... was something wholly different. Thanks for giving us a glimpse into how things are going for you, but please take some time with your family and don't worry about stuff here. If it helps to film, go ahead, but we'll be here whenever you are able to get back to regular content. If that's months away, we'll still be here.

  12687. I'm just glad that you and your family (and shop) are all OK. I understand feeling the need to do something to get your mind off the nasty crap you just went thru. Venting by making a rambling video is not only good for you, it's good for us, too. You'll be back to normal (or as normal as you get) in no time!

  12692. Ray do yourself a favor. Go home for one entire day. And stay inside and completely relax. Don't do any work. For the whole day. Just rest. This includes no editing videos that's consider work. If you can't rest drink enough beers to get your buzz on and enjoy the relaxing. SO GO GET SOME REST. And come back fully rested. The next day. If you need to take a couple days off.

  12693. How is the little solar panel working out with keeping the trailer battery fully charged? 🤷‍♂️ You take care of yourself Ray and please make sure you are safe and coherent when you are driving especially when you are dragging the trailer around behind you. 👍

  12694. Thanks for sharing your experience, but please refrain from spreading rumors like "it could be one to two years before electricity is restored". First, it's not true. This is a viral rumor that you got swept up in and just parroted without checking. And second, even if it is true, bringing attention to it like this crushes what little people hope the residents of that area may be clinging to, some of whom may have nothing left. I lived in Florida for 30 years, survived many hurricanes, and know first hand how devastating rumors like this can be. I love your videos, and you really have a heart of gold. You're one of the good guys. But as a YouTube star, your words come with a lot of impact, far more than most people's, and this means you have a responsibility to be cautious, check sources, and speak the truth. Please be more careful and considerate with what you share.

I like you Ray. Be careful which path you choose in your future. Money isn't everything. If you haven't learned that yet, please don't learn it the hard way.

  12790. Ray, I would rather watch an oil change... Not !😊

  12791. Ray - I did much the same thing with my 2007 BMW X3. I did not use pressure pack cans however. I took one of my sand beige plastic panels to an auto paint shop and they matched up some special vinyl/leather paint for me. I am extremely happy with the outcome. The idea is not to spray the paint on with too heavy a coat but spray multiple lighter coats. The paint being a satin type finish is much easier to spray as you can easily touch up missed areas. I have an 8cu ft air compressor and several spray guns as my late father was a spray painter by trade. Good luck. I know myself its a lot of hard work but the result is very satisfying. In my case the door speaker grills were fixed to the door trims (cards) by plastic type rivets which I had to grind off with my dremmel tool. Behind the metal grills was a layer of about 3mm of acoustic foam which had all disintegrated. This was my main reason as to why I removed my speaker grills. The grills themselves fitted onto a plastic frame which connected to the plastic rivets I ground off. I reattached these frames onto the door trim (card) with 4mm stainless bolts which I glued in place with epoxy cement. It was an awful lot of work and I had to take great care as I couldn't afford to mess the whole thing up. You simply can't buy these parts anymore. After finishing the first one the other three were relatively easy. I also upgraded the speakers in the trims (cards) from the basic factory ones BMW use and installed an amplifier under the dash.

  12792. Let's talk turkey. Trucks looking good, but if you don't fix the drivers seat cover the stuffing is going to start to come out. The seat materials are held on by a few staples you can buy replacement material thats fited to your seats its not real hard to install. Pull out the seats take the covers off and put on the new stuff, you've done almost everything else to make that truck newish. In for a penny in for a lb.

  12793. The second you showed the cubby behind the screen I though of exactly what to put there...a hand held item.

  12794. OMG I can't believe someone stole my Swingline stapler....

  12795. This project is amazing! Been watching your videos since the old shop. Love to see your new shop flourish! You should put a wireless charger for phones in at least one of those cubby holes.

  12800. Ever heard of "shipwright's disease" (or "syndrome")? You've got a bad case of it, Ray! 😅 The results look great. You opened my eyes about the hot glue gun! I agree, it was very handy for this work. I always associated hot glue guns with arts & crafts projects... guess I was wrong! One question... will the kids be allowed to ride in the Duramax when it's done?
    1
  12801. Now ray get the escalade seats replace those old wore out seats
    1
  12802. Why would there be re about pulling tape before paint is dry? If you wait till the paint is dry, you tisk peeling the paint OFF 🤷‍♂️ When using tape while painting a wall, I'll tape them go over edges with a VERY small amount of paint in a mostly dry brush, wait for that to dry before painting. That seals the edge of the tape. Then I'll paint the wall, and pull the tape while wall is still wet. Clean lines every time 🤷‍♂️😂😂 I don't paint cars however 😁😁😁

  12803. What's up Ray! Been awhile since I've watched one of your videos. Looks like you've been busy. Love the gun cubby you rigged up!

  12828. A mechanic on another channel wanted to show that extensions on a socket does not decrease torque. He had 7 or 8 extensions and applies torque with a torque wrench to the lug nuts. He then showed that that teh nuts were torque properly (no extensions). He said that extensions with an impact driver decrease torque.

  12831. Ray, one of the things I enjoy most, and learn the most because of, is the actual techniques you use. I have a tendency to be a perfectionist, and YOU are a PERFECTIONIST is all the ways that matter. The difference is that you know what matters, and I don't. Through you, my sense of what is important, and when it is important, and why it is important, grows. This is the real practical knowledge that I value in my life. If I knew you, we might be friends --- or not. It doesn't matter. There are many ways we might not be, but regardless, I respect your attitude, your abilities, the relationship with "the wife unit", and you -- Carl

  12832. Ray, if watching you perform on your channel is wasting my time, then please waste my time. In fact, I would watch two-hour episodes if you were ever to create them. I never tire of your content.

  12864. I used to manufacture custom video equipment and got a call from NASA at Edward AFB that a piece of equipment was not working. I tried troubleshooting it over the phone to no satisfaction so I flew out to Los Angeles rented a car and drove to Edwards with test equipment. I found an incorrectly terminated video cable. I did get a free tour of the NASA facilities and saw a lot of really nifty experimental aircraft...

  12870. You should check that seat belt sensor, seems to be something off there xD
    1
  12871.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  I hope you soaked it in oil before installing? That was the procedure back in the day. Fun fact: Some cars came with leather oil seals from the factory up until the 1960s. Fortunately almost all the replacements are now neoprene.

  12875. @Rainman Ray’s Repairs I bought me a Toyota 4Runner a few days ago. I had heard many good things about them. Are these good vehicles like everyone says? Mine is 2016 with 60K miles.
    1
  12876. Those toyota run forever if maintained. The tire sensors are a pain. All 5 need to be working. 4 on the floor and the spare. Otherwise the tire pressure monitor comes on.

  12877. Have you had anyone ask about, recognize, or acknowledge your YouTube status?
    1
  12878. Before the video even started I was thinking maybe the mechanic from the other shop forgot to plug something back in or something. Turns out something was just disconnected. 😅
    1
  12879. lol they were testing you. Why you didn't run around with your hands up yelling "KING OF THE SHOP!" I don't know. :p

  12884. Wouldn't it be wonderful if YouTube had some automated system to categorize comments into threads? So every comment (for example) that says "maybe it's the gas cap" would automatically go into a "gas cap thread". Or maybe even just a system that says "you seem to be making a similar comment to others, would you like to join their comment thread?" Get on that YouTube!

  12885. Evap can be anything purge valve, vent, cap, pressure sensor, or gas tank leak. It took me 2 months to find a small leak.

  12886. I’ve seen people put gas in diesel before. That look of despair is heart breaking. But there are companies with the ability to suck the fuel out of your tank and properly dispose of it. It’s not cheap, but it’s a lot less than $10k

  12893. Whenever “Officer Steve” calls me, I don’t give him any info he can use and tell him to just send the agents to arrest me and that I will be waiting for them with a smile on my face because at least this way I will have 3 meals a day and will have access to the medical treatment and surgery I need and to please hurry because the pain is unbearable until I have the surgery and the sooner they pick me up is the sooner I can get it done. He keeps hanging up on me though. LOL

  12894. Ray, I am going to send you something really cool, to 99999 99th Street. You are going to love it!

  12899. Remember when spray cans were on environmentalist's hit list? Yeah, we'd be screwed without brake clean alone!! Now they go after small vehicle internal combustion engines.. even though 70% of the global emissions are by huge tanker boats. SEVENTY PERCENT.. yet we consumers need to turn down our heat in the winter and drive dumb EVs with crap electronics. Give me a break. End of general reeeeeeee

  12913. So let me get this straight guy comes in complains about his temp gauge not working 100% you diagnose the problem and then the guy complains you wasted time on that and wanted the AC replaced. What I’m so confused why didn’t he just say can you look at my temp gauge and replace my AC compressor. Seems like this guy didn’t know what he wants done

  12918. Hey Ray! I just wanted to point out you have 2 different gloves on. Just stating the obvious...
    1
  12919. Breath in and out it’s all going to be ok
    1
  12920. What's good about this now is, you can tell these people to go elsewhere. You'll have plenty of work and you can eliminate people like this. Tell him to take his boat elsewhere....like anywhere but here.

  12934. Deep breaths lol

  12935. In the 50+ years I was in the trade I have met most of them. It really makes you wonder how some of these people have lived so long. I have been told that since Covid it's even worse.
    1
  12936. Some folks don't deserve Ray's time, expertise and patience. I live in Australia and that is the ONLY reason why I don't go to his shop.
    1
  12937. One and a half minutes into the video and I feel your pain Ray!
    1
  12938.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  if you can manage doing it... go for it i guess.

  12939. Wow this is the first time I ever heard you mad wooo saaaa
    1
  12940. Ray I'm not a doctor but I'll bet you a dollar to a donut that you have carpel tunnel in your right hand. You can buy braces at Walmart that really do work and there are stretching exercises that you can find on the internet.

  12941. Man those " OnE mOrE tHiNg" customers drive me insane
    1
  12942. Ray did you not know that when you enter “Super Ray” mode. Your body not only releases a surge of adrenaline. But also releases endorphins, which is usually stronger than morphine! Your body does this to overcome the perceived incoming bodily damage, so you aren’t hamstrung by pain to fight more effectively. So not feeling pain is great, but you can still be burnt by hot items.
    1
  12943. 8100 Vortec, A/C compressor had it's own dedicated belt. And when that belt breaks, there's high chance of it taking out the crank positioning sensor wires. And usually you won't notice that belt being broken unless you're under the vehicle with the skid plate off because the compressor is mounted on the bottom of the block inches from the crank pulley. I'm speaking from personal experience.
    1
  12944. I use a shop vacuum cleaner when scraping the old gasket off to keep the debris out of the case.

  12945. Here is a comment, for the algorithm.
    1
  12946. I am no Expert but shouldn't you've checked the fill plug that it is not seised up before removing the diff cover? Just saying.   And scotch locks are used by old telco linemen to make water proof splices on phone lines.

  12947. Like most of us, I have never refused an A/C repair. I don't even ask for an estimate.

  12948. Brake clean mafia🤣🤣

  12949. Ratchet in french is....rochet. Your welcome.

  12950. Hello, a ratchet in french calls "une clé à cliquet".

  12951. Thanks!
    1
  12952. With regards to the comment Ray made about the fired employee: it’s one thing if your (bad) habit only harms you - it’s another if your habit causes harm to someone else (like smoking, or drunk driving). That crosses a line into totally uncool territory. 😱 And this is a family oriented channel, and Ray only does cool here. 🤩 Oh, and brake cleaner. Gotta have plenty of cans of brake cleaner!! 🤣
    1
  12953. Eric O. just cried when the bearing popped off without any effort.
    1
  12954. Hey Ray ever since you got your own shop u tube has seemed to stop sending me notifications that you posted a blog. I have been watching all your videos. But I don't always comment You do excellent work 👍🏻 ☺️ utube better get things straight with the algorithms.
    1
  12955. Ray the best thing you did was to open your own shop. You sound happier now your high standard of not turning and burn. You find way's save them money.

  12956. Eric O at South Main Auto Repair is the man, and After Hours with Eric O is good to

  12958. Hi Ray, Why did you replace the entire hub when only the bearing was going bad?
    1
  12959. Gotta love the south. she slides right out! Never will I work on a northern vehicle again.
    1
  12960. I must say Ray, I really don't miss that annoying shop telephone ringing constantly. You're new shop and videos are much much better!! If I'm ever in need while in Florida I will look you up. Up here in Western New York our vehicles take a beating with the salt. I'm certain you don't miss working on vehicles in the Salt belt.
    1
  12961. You can almost hear Eric O cry as that bearing fell out.

  12962. They were trying to get her to trade it in for another car.

  12965. Liar , liar , pants on fire ! There I got to say that after 60 some years !
    1
  12966. One has to wonder how many times the Nissan dealer has done this to other people’s cars and how much money they have made for no work
    1
  12967. I've never seen your channel before, but my God. Are you doing a service to the people that live around you? Thank you so much for making these videos and letting people know that there are so many mechanic shops that will scam you. It's nice to see that. You're out there being honest enough front? And actually helping this lady get money back because she was ripped off. I said I am definitely subscribing to you and watching your channel. You are a great individual for doing this. For anybody who needs to help? Thank you to be an honest mechanical there

  12968. The P0776 code indicates some kind of issue with the pressure control solenoid B
    1
  12969. I have a story of dirt bag dealership. I took my Honda prelude way back when 1980 to replace a front strut. The dealer had it for 2 weeks they finally called me up to tell me it ready. At the time I was driving a car carrier and went to pickup my car. Well in the 1980's the car carrier had high street skides so when I drove my car on the trailer I stopped before it was on. I got out of the car and looked underneath and there it was my old strut. Pulled off the truck and brought it back to the dealer and said what did you do for 2 weeks he had nothing to say. Eventually that Honda shut them down.
    1
  12970. 19:15 is this what Ray thinks of the dealer?
    1
  12971. Been gone from the channel for quite awhile until today....last saw when you first got the shop. I am happy to see things appear to be going well for you, Ray.
    1
  12972. What people don't realize, Nissan has nothing to do with the dealership, it's an independently owned business. They can however, take their franchise away...
    1
  12973. @RainmanRaysRepairs love the videos me and my dad watch your videos when you have new ones every time and we’re both subscribed to your channel and we both enjoy your content.
    1
  12974.  @jilbertb I do realize that, and that is exactly why they need to be involved. To protect their name and let the owner know this will not fly.
    1
  12975. see ya on Monday for coffee
    1
  12976. You wonder why customers go to either Rays shop, Eric o, and Ivan with pine hollow diagnose, I wish I had one of them near me to work on my cars they seem real trustworthy!
    1
  12977. I steer away from EVERY vehicle with a cvt
    1
  12978. Ray, you might notice that the code they pulled was P0776, and the tech wrote "transmission failure," but that is a solenoid code.
    1
  12979. That dealer, or at least the tech, needs to be called out for fraudulent work practices. You Ray are a goofball with your promotional plugs. Love it
    1
  12980. Plugging the sponsor was gangster.
    1
  12981. There is a sadness about this. It is the reason that I do all of my own work now. I got so angry with people that didn't fix problems then tried to charge me twice, that my wife bought me tools to avoid assault charges and heart attacks.
    1
  12982. 7:45 also DON'T... LET THE COFFEE CUP FOOL YOU that's NOT a cup of coffee just sitting on the bench that you can take a sip from when no one is looking LMFAO

  12988. Never used the stabilizer only trans fix and fuel cleaner.
    1
  12989. Appreciate your content Ray - jugs of washer fluid (blue stuff) are indeed methanol water - the methanol we need in colder climates. You southern folk can buy the blue concentrate and use it from the bottle mixed with water for a fraction of the jug price since you don't need to worry about it freezing. When you have to buy the rubbing alcohol to mix it is a whole lot closer to the margin they make on the 9 dollar jug.
    1
  12990. Do not laugh at this process ,I bought some cans of intake carbon removal spray and sprayed it to the top of the valve cover. This engine was badly caked on the valve train with sludge so it was a trial to see what this non approved product for this application could do. I never revved the engine just letting it idle for about an hour. The new oil when i drained it was like black paint. A few more of these cleanings over six months brought the engine back to life.
    1
  12991. Definitely interested in the oil testing results!!

  12992. 😂

  13000. That steering stabilizer is not going to work. You put it in backwards. It should have been rotated around 180 degrees so that the label reads correctly from the front. 😜

  13001. Ray;s Jeep channel !

  13002. 10,000% improvement. So 10,000/100= 100 x improvement. So. OK. I would have gone with maybe 10x or 1000% more betterer.

  13003. 249th! T.G.I.F.! Ray,,Lauren,Dave,and Justin. This pickup is going to need quite a bit of attention before it becomes reliable. Great video as always. Roger in Pierre South Dakota

  13004. The fuel cleaners do work, they just don't perform miracles.
    1
  13005. i also do amsoil dealer and i use lots of their products and im pretty happy with their stuff.🤠
    1
  13006. Here are the facts about chemicals, They are not snake oil because if they were the engine oil, fuel, and engine coolant are all snake oil, so the nay-sayers are either fools, ignorant, misinformed, or naive.
    1
  13007. I have been using Amsoil before you were probably born? Since 1973. I do not know if the oil added longevity to the car because I always traded them in after 3 years but I still own a 1988 Volkswagen 4 speed Golf with over 300,000 miles on it and the car still looks brand new inside and out. The whole car has been rusted proofed, but it is always in the garage, and I do not drive it in the snow. The only thing I did was changed the valve cover gasket. Amsoil back in the early days was very thin. But down the road I put 20w 50 in the 1.8 L engine. Did Amsoil help my engine get that far I think so. When I change the gasket the valves looked new no sludge at all.
    1
  13008. Good day Ray and hi to Dave and new guy
    1
  13009. It’s nasty because of the ethanol/corn syrup additive the government mandated in our gas. What about cleaning the gas tank?, if the filter was that nasty then, there’s more in the tank.
    1
  13010. That Truck is F_ING COOL DUDE....
    1
  13011. With current configuration, can you jump start the engine from the rear (auxiliary) battery? Or, do you need to wire in another relay & switch?
    1
  13012. That truck can idle and supply his needs at a fraction of the gas consumption compared to the fuel consumption. He can power lights and fans in the shop to be able to work on vehicles during a long power outage which could prove to be rather valuable.
    1
  13013. Amazing set up it's like i just watched my dream come true. in your vid. Never thought I'd see anyone do the dual alternator setup. That's what you call a true backup system. And it's diesel! Sweet!
    1
  13014. I get the feeling that Ray will be the one who invents the Mr. Fusion device from Back to the Future.
    1
  13015. Oh hey, Ray! Never expected to get a response directly from you! I would assume since the cummins has an automatic high idle based on ambient temp, there'd be some way to access it manually, though it may not be as simple as yours. I'll check them out. Thanks, man!
    1
  13016. Oh, NO! Eric O just did a do-de-do phone ring! LOL

  13017. I pay for no ads so yeah no ad....click LoL

  13018. I like lumens better! Especially to see those cute angles!!😁

  13019. Lumens is correct.

  13020. It waited until you finished tightening it, said, "right there", and faded out to throw the commercial in.
    1
  13021. Nope the add was after you returned. It is slow. Lol
    1
  13022. Eric O did a DO DODO DODO lastnight Its getting viral
    1
  13023. Ad blockers are awesome on YouTube. Definitely reduces the irritation/nuisance factor.
    1
  13024. Eric O. actually Said "do-dee-doo-dee-doo" when his phone rang on yesterday's video !!
    1
  13025. Candle power refers to an incandescent bulb and lumens refers to LED lighting so you're not wrong buddy

  13026. I have YouTube red and so no commercials for me

  13027. Hold My Rod????? LOL!!!!!

  13030. That was painful watching that pan come off. Not sure why it was engineered that way. Obviously not with the tech in mind. I was thinking you could have successfully straightened that pan, but you're the better judge of that. Better safe than sorry. Welcome back, Ray. Sorry to hear you were under the weather. We missed you here. Nice to hear your shop has good people in it who can run it while you're away. Dave & Justin are making you proud. Thanks for the Lauren/WifeUnit cameo - even if it was a long distance one. 😊

  13039.  @RainmanRaysRepairs , I didn’t notice the tags but I should watch these videos all the way through before I comment. Not the first time I’ve opened my mouth before I should have but I want to comment while it’s still fresh in my mind.

  13040. Can't believe how many hours I have spent watching you fix vehicles now on YouTube. I am not even interested in either motors or cars. You make for both good entertainment and educational content.

  13050. Here I am again, Ray. Just wanted to let you know in GM world we actually have a simpler component test you can do on those Solenoids. They're very easy to Ohm, and have a specification range of 8-13 ohms across both pins. Usually they fail high, around 16-24 I've usually found. But of course, these engines and their internal garbage. Broken balancer chains, jumping timing, burning oil, man it just never gets better.

  13055. I love your videos Ray I have been a tech for about a year but I kinda jumped the gun and already went flat rate and I gotta say just from watching your videos in my down time I pick up so many things...I just wanna say thank you for posting your day to day work and giving the commentary....thank you

  13062. Of old videos I've watched you do those are the most nuts bolts screws and pieces and parts I've ever seen you put on a vehicle I'm amazed you remembered where everything went and how careful were putting it in the vehicle man you're f**** amazing

  13063. Started wrenching at a very young age, then a sa young adult i helped open a Sears Ato Center. Started out pretty good, then realized I wasn't going anywhere when younger ethnic kids were getting advances instead of me. 1980's, when affirmative action was alive and well, it still is! Anyway whta soured me on it was the "by the book" crap. R&R for a starter on a Vega said 1.5 hours, I did it in half an hour, the boss wasn't happy. He told me the book says 1.5, I told him the book was wrong, he told me to put the car back on the lift. Then he said no, here's anther ticket, go do this, he went and put the car on the lift, and took it down an hour later. Then years after I had already left there was when they got caught padding the labor charges! I hate greedy companies that screw people because they can. PG&E, you're next!

  13068. You were smart not to take that job. I managed a branch library and I preferred jeans since I spent a lot of time on my knees working with the kids, shelving books, etc. Got a new boss who wanted us to wear coat and tie, etc. I knew this was bad and it only got worse. I didn't last long under his "leadership."

  13072. Ray, I don't care what the naysayers talk about. Keep up the commentaries. It's your chammel and you still livve in the good ol' U.S.A. I love your comments and the channel. Keep pxxxing people off. It's great. Thanks. Oh, and thanks for respecting Lauren. You sir are a good man and probably a keeper.

  13074. marine grade are the best solderless connectors, but a boat is a hole in the water that you pour money into :)

  13075. The reason you don't see many vehicles now is because of the cash for clunkers scam, fords push for EVs in 2009 (Yes they took money during the bailout) Banging on the electric motor to make it respond is a sign of it dying and should be replaced immediately before it leaves you stranded

  13081. that rubber was destroyed by newer gas, this is one of the ways that that some rubbers break down by ethanol, it was probably a sound dampening foam rubber cover for the pump.
    1
  13082. I'd like to see a video of the belt replacement and adjustment on this Isuzu. Rare to get a look at an old school engine with multiple belts. About 98%of what we see on repair videos are modern serpentine belts.

  13093. Ray, the average folks from both California and Florida are not that different in their views and values. There are certain groups who have vested interest in telling folks that others are "different", or "odd", or "evil". The question is are you American or the member of some political party? It seem you cannot be both for some folks.
    1
  13094. Ray , remember the two best days of your life are (at least transactional) the day you buy a boat , the day you sell said boat , just saying
    1
  13095. You could have shortened your rant about people talking smack on the phone by saying you hate phone cajones! And then I wouldn't rant about using paint can openers (flat screwdrivers) to put on hose clamps instead of nut drivers. And I think I would have cleaned out the tank before installing anything in that tank or manually installing screws since you love your power tools! That said how would anyone cancel you! You can Californicate Florida but you can't Floridacate California! Just doesn't sound right! Living in Californicated CO. I see it happening. Your gak story was cool. In the 60's 70's the sold the same in toy stores called Super Stuff . It looks like gak. That truck is cool and a good little secondary vehicle. Izuzu is a great manufacturer since they designed and manufactured the Duramax engine which is far better than the Powerstroke!

  13096. Yea, like to see belt change

  13097. Good day Ray and hi and bye Dave

  13098. You gotta stop letting the trolls and white knight crazies get on your nerves. And even if they do, NEVER TALK ABOUT IT!!! Whenever you open up, and start talking about them, they're rewarded... Trust me, being on YouTube for as many years as I've been on here, you've GOT to ignore, block, and move on... Oh, and no, this is not my actual channel. I know better... ROFLMAO!!!

  13106. 34:00 One thing you need to be aware of is that some procenttage of people out there have a diagnosis that make them unable to understand sarcasm and funny talk.. They are wired diffrently, and will never understand it. But you can't make everyone happy, so unfortunately there will be someone that loos out.

  13112. The gunk on the pump was probably caused by ethanol gasoline. Had the same situation on a 1991 Chevy. You like to live dangerously working over the open tank. Easy to drop something down in the tank.
    1
  13113.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  Yeah, well, just for that, I’ll go and hit the Like button. That will teach you!!!
    1
  13114. I’m only 10 seconds into the video and had to stop it to tell Ray to NOT give me another heart attack!!!!! You started the video by pointing to a car leaving and saying “Everybody say goodbye to Dave” and I thought he quit or something!! OMG!!!! Nah, just going to lunch. Phew!!!!

  13119. His "alignment somewhere else" is going to last about 10 feet. No more or less than a customer like that deserves.

  13160. NO, .....it's 1/2 FULL!

  13161. Why wouldn't the owner take the up sell since you were going that deep, it just makes sense instead of what it would cost a second time in the same area.
    1
  13162. Really enjoyed the content

  13163. The ANOOTHAAA was very half hearted at 19:38. Was funny though.

  13171. @20:00, you went to your box of goodies and picked up a terminal. I thought "that's your marine terminal" -- clearly, i've watched a lot of your videos :)
    1
  13172. From what I've seen, does insanity ring a bell? If the poor idiot wanted the bare min. cost then great but I would put money on that engine not lasting very long. With overhead cams they don't usually use soft bearings for the cams, they ride on the head and the lack of oil ran would mess up the cams and the heads pretty bad . The cams are very dependent on good oil flow and overhead cams more so. And that oil pickup tube may have stopped the big chunks of garbage but not the smaller ones but hopefully the oil filter got most of them provided it's a top of the line brand but even those let big enough particles through the engine. And if the piston rods are that bad then the main bearings on the crank are also pretty shot. I didn't notice you putting a oil pressure gauge on it, did you do this? The car looks like it just has a dummy light so it should be tested. If the cam is loose and the mains are worn then that motor is going to have lower oil pressure and it should be tested up to normal operating temps..... I wouldn't have messed with that motor in that condition because it really needed to be replaced or rebuilt from the ground up . Reman engines are around 3K and I'd hate to see what a new one would cost because the car at best is worth 4.5K and that is with a good engine .... Oh well, I'd like to see updates on that car because I think the whole thing was kind of crazy but that's just how I see it...
    1
  13173. I really liked this video. I have never seen inside the oil pan. I am just a family “mechanic” I do fairly easy stuff most people could do if they tried.

  13174. Very educational. I have learned a lot from your videos.
    1
  13175. And I won't apply torque to these fasteners.... X'cept that one.... If I had $1 for every time I did the same thing. Fun video man

  13179. Never had a doubt new you would fix it wish you were my mechanic here in England.

  13180. I wonder if this is Rainmans shop? (I may have missed from an old video) OR does he have permission to film at work? (Not that I give a shit) And if not I can't help but wonder what his boss and coworkers think when he's talking" himself" through a job lmao.....keep up the amazing content and maybe someday we will see Rainman Productions on cool car movies ya never know
    1
  13181. Don't believe it. You got me as a life long follower. lol
    1
  13182. Love your videos. I actually have learned a few useful things.
    1
  13183. Nice video intro. I like how you make the repairs look so easy - but I know that's just your experience/knowledge on full display, plus nice video editing. I always look forward to the gratuitous "click," so keep 'em coming. Oh, I'm not a mechanic, but videos like yours have inspired me to make some repairs, but I know my limitations and know when to turn to a professional that I TRUST - which I am happy to pay extra to.

  13246.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  solder joints are a solid option. You just need to practice soldering. You need the wires to be hot enough to suck in the solder not use the tip to melt the solder. And only use enough to coat the wires so you can still see the strands of wire. If you glob the solder on it will cause high resistance in the circuit. Practice soldering you'll get better.

  13251. Soldering tip.... Put a small amount of solder on the tip of clean iron...... hold the iron to one side of your work then apply the solder wire opposite. When the solder melts i will flow to the heat. Use rosin core solder for that type of work.

  13292. Haters gonna hate dude. People who wanted to contribute through the channel membership wouldn't complain about early access videos. This is ZERO difference than how other folks on YouTube do things (Patreon members etc get early access). This is no different. If folks complain, I suspect they are not "channel members", so maybe they can just wait the 6 hours, instead of being nasty asshats...

  13301. Just subscribed, thought I was already. I bet all the complaints were from folks who are not supporting your channel financially. Complaining about something that doesn't effect them one way or another. Forget about em. You do you, Ray

  13302. Love the channel in the videos Ray you can tell that you deal with a lot day to day ignore the haters I know I watch your video every single day especially the bits with the brake clean puts a smile on my face after a long day congratulations on your success Ray you have your own shop you have a nice home but most importantly a happy and healthy family not to mention I have learned a few educational things about working on my own vehicle you do make a difference Ray don't ever let anybody tell you you can't just remember doodly Doo LOL

  13307. Screw them! You're the one taking the time putting together this content alongside essentially sharing your life story to folks who watch it for free. I've learned a PILE of things from watching your stuff which you could easily treat as proprietary information and share with nobody if you felt like it. You have every right to incentivize others to send some cash your way in appreciation for the time you spend creating content. I joined up for the ol' tip jar. Hope it helps out a bit! People who rag on others for menial bullshit like that are typically all-around shitty individuals I've noticed. Know what they can do if they have a problem? Don't buy the membership and wait for the videos or gtfo off the channel altogether. Keep it up Ray, you deserve some kickback for sharing plethora of knowledge you've gained throughout your career and thousands of hours you've spent learning it. Screw people who expect everything handed to them on a silver platter!

  13308.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  Thanks. I didn't notice that myself, but I guess it helps me ignore stuff like that after I scrapped my car a year ago, so I do not feel like a target. Anyway, I find you honest and straight-talking, so I can't fault you. Good of you to do it anyway. You will feel better soon, with all the other stuff going on in this season.

  13320. the next generation newer 2.0l common rails do not like being run out of fuel, you have to prime them with a scan tool, or at a minimum fill the filter housing with fuel. if you don't you risk trashing the high pressure fuel pump cam and destroying the whole fuel system. the Bosch CP4.1 does not tolerate being run dry or fuel contamination at all. (not applicable here, but if you get a 2009 or newer TDI beware.)

  13336. IMAGINE IF THAT COMMENT CAME FROM A TECHNICIAN!!!!!! WHAT U SHOULD RESPONDE????

  13337. I have been buying professional tools for many decades. You do get what you pay for. I have never been able to get them "warrantied." They are hand tools. I dont do anything with them I cant do with some hand force or leverage. There are other tools and techniques for taking it up a notch. I have left them and abandoned them but you can not do that and get a warranty replacement so you are a lot more careful and always return to the scene of the crime so to speak when you are done. I also do not melt metal or incinerate my tools on purpose but take my time to gently use my tool to finesse the connector or trouble spot. Occasionally there will be a catastrophic failure which is Gods way of saying I am not being careful enough. Professional tools cost more but get abused more and are made to take the abuse and cost a lot more then the Ace hardware countertop impulse buy. It is incorporated into the materials and tool cost, nobody looses. Having said that I also still own and still use tools I got 50 years ago to use on my first car. Given the current environmental Biological hazards it has been a real pleasure watching this series of videos. A psychological healing catharsis of my soul to watch. Thank you for documenting and sharing this.

    1
  13341. Many years ago, Craftsman used to warranty stuff too... 100% Even in a clear cut case of abuse, no question, you'd get another one.... What I'm told by my ASE master friends is, Snap On & the tool trucks are the same... They will warranty anything.... I assumed you were joking, when you said "I'll have to break this more, to get it warrantied..." You don't have to do that. Now, for what they CHARGE, which you alluded to in a video a couple months ago (I believe it was something like "more lube!!! the tool truck is here! If you know, you know..."), I mean, it's at least triple what a comparable mid-range tool costs.... So you're buying it 3 times up front... Maybe "warranty" isn't the right word.... Now look, I get it, you don't have all day to shop for tools, you are WORKING, you're on commission, you gotta get in early and stay late, to get those jobs that pay.... So, the tool truck, you're paying for the SERVICE.... And for what they charge, the service better be really good... which, hey, warranty is a part of that equation... If a guy is doing business with you, and he wants new needle nose pliers, you give it... I mean, unless you want that guy to literally never buy from you again ever.... I also got quite a laugh out of your peel & stick "Snap On" badge for the radio... heh heh heh! People will hate this, but I very carefully removed the "Husky" thing from my new box, and got a Snap On one off EBay... Now of course, it's just a joke, my friends & family KNOW I wouldn't drop that cash on a box.... And one of my SuperPro ASE master buddies, instantly he says "that's not a Snap On box..." Now, not that it's WRONG to be a tool snob, it certainly is not, but not only did he spot it instantly, but he was a little upset about it... I guess that's kind of like upbadging a car, which is probably wrong.... So, uhhh, sorry, to any tool snobs out there... I apologize. If I ever sell it, I'll put the Husky Badge back on, I promise.... I was just having a little fun... I'm not gonna lie, the Husky toolbox I bought is super duper nice.... very well worth it. Lovely box. At 20% of the price, it's 80% of the box, so that feels like a good deal to me....

  13342. It’s called marketing and customer service….you stand behind your tools, regardless….couldn’t tell you how many craftsmen sprocket wrenches were replaced with cheater pipe marks, but customers kept coming back and bought more tools…..

  13343.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  Ah I see. IDK much about the cost of tools lol.
    1
  13344. Imagine thinking Snap-On doesn't know exactly what happened to those pliers when they opt to replace them lol. Like you said, you pay a premium, you get a premium service. Those pliers cost them probably a few bucks to make and then they sell them for $20 knowing people are going to replace them 10 times. It's part of the business model. But you already know that.

  13350. You made a wisecrack. Oh, my, heavens! Unfortunately for the easily offended masses, I enjoy wisecracks. You bought a tool with a warranty where the item is replaced if damaged. Sounds like the damage done met their guidelines or they wouldn't have replaced it, and I suspect that if you were trying to scam someone, you wouldn't have included the video or the wisecrack in a public forum. I try not to read the comments, because I've been taken to task for making what I would consider to be "amusing comments" for the benefit of those whose videos I enjoy watching. I'm an old retiree and I can't afford to pay for extra "memberships" and so forth to reward the content creators, so I try to at least "give a smile or a chuckle" to those creators who seem to enjoy the same type of humor I do, and I hope that my watch time adds to the creator's YouTube revenue. Thanks for your content Ray, and don't let the complainers get you down.

  13351. Happy independence day to you ray.. as a viewer from new Zealand I can tell you that it's not just america that is suffering hard times, here we have massive inflation prices are shocking on everyday items petrol is over $3 a litre.. about $12 a gallon I think. COVID and the Ukraine war has really brought our world to it's knees. In these hard times we need to love and respect our fellow man as much as we can and stop the mindless racism bigitory and bickering and get back to working with each other. Kia kaha (stay strong) from a proud 🥝

  13358. I apologize for suggesting that Ray added one too many modules to his Escaladogeddon. It is clear now to me that the fault was made by the mechanic that replaced the original dash with the Escalade dash, and was missing a nut.

  13361. The go-pro is faulty. Send it back.

  13362. Ha! I always freak my customers out by shutting the engine of, then grabbing the fan and telling them to restart the engine. Big fun! DO NOT TRY THAT SHIT AT HOME KIDS! I am a master tech with 35 years in auto repair, so I am fully aware of when I can or cannot pull that trick. ;) Customer reaction is always priceless though.
    1
  13363. This also assume you already updated your camera to the latest firmware/software . if you haven't, Id do that first In case it's a software glitch. I doubt it, but you never know.
    1
  13364. Hey. I use to work for GoPro, and when this happens, it's an issue with the camera, less so the memory card. call up support and insist on doing an RMA. they are pretty good about it and will send you another one.
    1
  13365. Just some information that might help but you definitely aren't the only one having the same problem with the gopro 9 several other creators that I watch have had the same problem and as far as I know still have the same problem. So if you do find a fix please post it so I can pass it along to them as well. Thanks for the video's.

  13377. Had a 2000 full size chev cargo van that took 3 new starters to finally fire up the engine. Then 2 brand new EGR solenoids to get the check engine light out. The second one was from GM. China is #1 at NEW JUNK.

  13380. Hi from Australia. My Hyundai Terracan (4WD) is 20 yo 241000 km. No Chineesium with it. I can still get the occasional generic part but all the genuine parts, if they are not in stock at a dealers they have to come from South Korea. And yes, they still make genuine parts. I have had no heating troubles even travelling long distance in the middle of summer 42-43 celcius (in the shade) and road temperatures up around the 70 celcius.
    1
  13381. Chinesium🤣😂😅
    1
  13382. It’s a GoPro issue, I have the hero 7 black and it does that. Best thing is to keep an eye on your GoPro. Something that did help a bit is using a 10,000 mAh power bank connected to my GoPro without a battery. Only thing is the wire gets bent and stop powering GoPro. Also, try setting loop recording for 5 or 20 minutes. Keep the content coming, and I do realize this is an older video, I’m just binge watching your videos lol. I wanna be a mechanic but I’m 36 and I fear I’m a tad bit too old for it… maybe as a hobby? 🤷🏻‍♂️

  13386. what do you mean my 12 dollar clutch fan is defective? I mean the 45 dollar one looked exactly the same! with the Go pro, I would check the firmware version and see if there maybe an update for it. You may also want to check your sim cards and see what the speed class is on them. Most cameras, especially cameras with video capability, require high speed sim cards. Yes, They do come in different speeds. I use Class 10 or better SD cards for my Cameras.

  13387. I owned 3 auto service garages for 14 years. Every bit of 1 out of 50 parts are bad outta the box... at the least, regardless of manufacturer.

  13388. Always check the cheapest & easiest things first & new doesn't necessarily mean good. Two rules I live by.

  13389. Using your own advice…”Just because it’s shiny…”, you might want to get a different one thru warranty if you can.

  13393. Putting the carrier in is the reason Chevrolet put the hole on each side of the pumpkin to spread it apart to make it easier. It’s a little high but if it doesn’t wine it’s good to go.

  13394. I know you said they're controversial. But you should be careful with toque sticks on electric impacts. Torque test channel tested them and found that electric impacts impact too fast for a torque stick to do it's limiting function.

  13395. I did like this video. I did stay to the end.

  13396.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  The first thing I do every morning is to watch your video. It gets my day rolling, with a laugh or two along with learning how you diagnose then make a plan on how you’re going to fix or replace components so the owner can get back on the road, with piece of mind that it was done correctly. But there is always a customer or two who come in with a negative opinion of mechanics in general and no matter what you do his or her opinion doesn’t change. Probably because of a bad experience with a crooked shop and or mechanic that ripped them off by trying to s are them into fixing something that wasn’t necessary or was done half-assed so it had to be repaired correctly a short time later. That’s why when you find a mechanic like you, stay with them instead of trying to go where they say they can do a repair on the cheap. As you know, in the end, it will cost much more than it would have going to a reputable mechanic in the first place. STAY AWAY FROM A FRIENDS COUSIN WHO SAYS HE CAN DO THE JOB FOR A QUARTER OF THE ESTIMATED COST. AND IT MIGHT COST YOU YOUR LIFE IN SOME CASES. I’m done rambling on now! Roger in Pierre South Dakota

  13399. I feel a little crazy today some reason so I am just going to let it out ,first I think there should be at least 1 video pinned to the top for stupid comments. I see a few already the guy that called Ray a " real mec-nik " , I think a real "TECH " should be used here more Computer skills needed , and maybe the guy with a oil change low remark. I going for it" Ray you put those plugs in the wrong order you did 4 3 2 1 should have been 1 2 3 4 " . Ray don`t block me ,I was just letting it out I feel better now. P.S Great videos as always

  13400. Liked and subscribed!

  13401. Great video, but lacked brake clean usage at any point. So only 9 out of 10 today

  13402. Ironically, SMA had a similar issue with a customer. I believe one of the hubs was warped
    1
  13403. He's right customer should always just give the mechanic the symptoms... As a mechanic r tech whatever you want to call us... I've learned to listen and ask questions... Then after they done telling me what they have to say... I ask them,,, I will say something like... what exactly is the vehicle doing again just tell me what exactly is it doing??? I just need to make sure I have everything straight so I can address all of what you telling me... I try to not dismiss their input and make it sound like I'm trying to get it all straight in my mind... That usually works pretty good... If the customer has time I ask if they can drive a little bit while I ride and show me...
    1
  13404. The parallels between healthcare and vehicle maintenance are shocking.

  13411. The U joint broke on my jeep once and it was so violent it shook loose the mount bolts bell housing pan bolts even valve body and it split the case in half so I could see the starter breaking from this

  13412. Plenty of Subaru's here in Australia! The outback was designed to be used on our long outback dirt roads. So I'm lead to believe!!🤔🤔? Cheers from Sydney Australia MATE 🇭🇲👍🦘👍🇭🇲🇺🇸

  13418. I love how there are the other guys singing and making random noises in the background. It’s just like any other shop. A bunch of kids that never grew up. LoL. (Yes I’m one too)

  13419. G'day Ray and greetings from Tasmania Australia 🇦🇺 yes we do have them and down here in Tasmania there are a lot of them driving around, I don't have one I drive a 2017 Mazda 6 estate Atenza. By the way the stars in the emblem of the Subaru are the constellation of Taurus. Good channel stay safe John
    1
  13420. Just a bit more trivia about Subaru. The logo is an open star cluster known as the pleiades or the 7 sisters. Not sure why you would decline to replace the least expensive component of all the things you replaced.
    1
  13421. I think your coworker has a singing career ahead of him

  13422. Eric and #southmainauto would be proud 👏

  13425. Good morning from beautiful Sharpsburg GA! Yes Subaru have been sold in Australia since 1973, yes I remember the commercials with Paul Hogan

  13426. Love the new intro Ray!

  13427. Yep, when you hit your finger, I felt that one too
    1
  13428. "Glad I got past the hard part" - famous last words, only got yourself to blame :-) What were you thinking saying such a thing, until you were completely finished. It's not the times I hurt myself I reflect on , it's the near misses, where I think but for the love of God.
    1
  13429. Hey did you remember to torque down the axle nut?

  13443. wait, you'll be working by yourself? lol dude do NOT get a phone, you'll never get anything done
    1
  13444. Fantastic news. You have spent your life working for others but conducting yourself as if you were the owner, always looking out for your companies best interest and your customers' best interest. This is the best preperation for success as an entrepreneur. I urge you to get at least a part timer to work for you as quickly as possible. It is the best way to multiply your efforts and to train someone in the Rainman Ray way of conducting them selves. Don't be scared. You pay a guy 20-25/hr and bill him out at 100/hr and show him what to do. I promise you it works. So does a tent with a lift outside the garage. I am excited for you. You are a good teacher and a good guy.
    1
  13445. Nice, it’s not going to be easy, but customers will follow you. It will pay off in the end, best of luck!!! May the force be with u!!!!

  13446. Watching you drive through Sarasota takes me back. Beautiful scattered clouds against indulgence blue sky's. Contrasted with green landscapes and flat roads. I'm jelly since I made a mistake to leave this for a job in Maryland. You chose the best place on earth to live and work.
    1
  13447. Hopefully the new boss is cool 😎
    1
  13448. We're all praying for you to make it. But I know deep down you going to make it. Because you're a good mechanic. In good mechanics are hard to find nowadays. So don't over extend yourself try to go real super big real fast just take your time it all will come with time. And one more thing always think the man up above because you will help you through everything with you going to go through do I hear Amen on that

  13449. Proud of you go forward and don’t look back We learn from our mistakes

  13465. Ray, you have it all wrong on Las Vegas and especially the desert. The LV strip is a tourist area, but the rest of the metro area is a lot more normal. Nevada has almost no natural disaster issues. Hail, snow, earthquakes, tornadoes, etc. basically don't happen with any level of significance. Like FL, NV has no state income tax. The desert is an amazing and truly beautiful place once you spend some time in it. It is very foreign for those that come from areas of lots of green, but it grows on you after a while. Lots of recreational opportunities in the desert.

  13492. yep told you. go for your own
    1
  13493. keep track of all your mileage, every mile. you've got to keep a mileage record log in your truck. milage is the strongest most reliable and easiest deductible. If you go to the grocery store for your wife, you pick up a roll of paper towels for your shop, keep the receipt for that too because it's deductible and you'll have a paper trail for those miles logged. every single goddamn last thing you spend on your shop and company is deductible and every mile you drive to get that stuff is deductible. Come April 15th you'll be glad that you logged those miles.
    1
  13494. Good luck ray

  13495. You're up early.

  13562. "Washers" - why you call them "washers" ? Thats so weird. Here in germany we call them "Unterlegscheiben" which is like "underlay discs". What do washers have to do with washing? :D

  13563.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  Also wanted to say how much I enjoy your vids. Your sense of humor is pretty much same as mine and know that your obscure movie references are not lost on some of us.

  13571.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  Just have to complement you on how hard you work at the shop and then to come home and edit these videos. I really love seeing what you do. I also hope to see a video of you doing rear drum brakes as I have replaced front disc brakes in the past. Drum brakes always seem more complicated.
    1
  13572. Ray- I think you're going to see a lot more "free work" in the future, like on this video. They're scheduling a recession due to all the inflation so the economy is going to tank. People are going to be more concerned on putting gas in their car and where their next meal is coming from over that tire that has a bubble in it that you found. In trying times, people are going to pass on the tire service, even though the risk is extreme.

  13585. The fuel spill from the last vid reminds me of the scene from Zoolander where they're at a gas station spraying each other with fuel.

  13586. The jeep was saying "Gimme Fuel, Gimme 🔥, Gimme that which I desire. oOoOO yeah!"

  13597. Ray out of interest. You have those 3/4 cube lights that have a charging dock/ station. What brand are they and where from? T.I.A

  13599. This comment is made on 3/26/24 when you were very sick. I like to eliminate the easy things that could cause problems. Like the MAF sensor. Get well soon. Listen to the Wife Unit

  13600. I use propane when an acetylene torch is too risky for a confined area. My trick: After getting a hot glow with the heat, dump a large cup of ice water all over it. Repeat as necessary. The thermal shock adds a boost to breaking the bonds.

  13611. I said this once before, and apparently you haven't seen it. You are no technician, sir. You are, indeed, a full blown mechanic, and I wish I could find a mechanic up here as competent as you are. NY rust sucks, and I live in it. Well done on the O2 sensor. I bet is was cathartic to lop the wire off to get it out.
    1
  13612. I spent the entire video worried about that lost socket :(

  13620. Come onnnn, Ray!!! Who doesn't love a G-body?! I was just telling my wife about those. I mentioned their presence once upon a time in "Lowrider Magazine"...along with well-endowed, scantily-clad women. Her response? "Square cars and curvy women, huh?"

  13625. That extension for the mass airflow sensor. Is a proprietary banks adaptor. To calibrate the ECM for the larger air intake ducting. Otherwise the ECM would not be able to calibrate for the larger air volume going into the engine. That adaptor is absolutely necessary to correct for the larger volume of air. Long story short

  13640.  @forgetfulme1719  Max achievable efficiency gain of Banks system without choke point > that of a system with a choke point. Just a better design, not to say that these other systems do nothing.

  13641. No apologies necessary. Feel better, Brother.

  13642. Gee Ray I hope all those people who are hating on your videos send you a link to their own YT channel so you can see how to do it the right way. 🤔
    1
  13643. Such vicious viscosity content!!! Thanks again Ray for awesome material! Proud of what you and your family have accomplished! Your hour long videos keep me coming back for more!
    1
  13644. Wait, you're not a robot????
    1
  13645. Ray, I do a lot of videoing and photography. Occasionally there is no explanation for editing glitches. When people ask me why computers crash and glitch occasionally, you need to look at what the little mothers have to deal with. They handle over 250 billion ones and zeros every second. Odds of winning the lottery is around one in 300 million. If each 1 and zero was a lottery ticket a computer would win the lottery around a thousand times each second. It's truly amazing how accurate they are considering a single bit off could crash a computer.
    1
  13646. I see what you did there @25:39
    1
  13647. Funny math but you are correct 3 1/2 ball joints worn
    1
  13648. SMA must look at these un-rusted bolts and think it's a fake video 😆
    1
  13649. Just double checking, did you remember to tighten the front driver side strut?

  13652. Nice subliminal mugshot on high speed!
    1
  13653. Loved the hi-speed with the music! Nice touch!
    1
  13654. As a customer I wouldn't want you to replace 3/4 ball joints and leave me one old one to fail shortly after. Replace as a set.
    1
  13655. Just had this same repair done to my 04 f150 3 days ago yes those spindles have little weight to them but you should be glad your customers truck wasn't 4x4 like mine but doing the strut towers is a little easier on my vs 2wd
    1
  13656. Gotta love Florida..... we'd be torching all of that to get it apart up here in NY!

  13659. Wow...just how...?

  13660.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  ok thanks for reply, will be cool to see you tear into it. i was able to get about an 1/8th turn on all the bolts i could get on and the leak has subsided for now.
    1
  13661. Yay!

  13665. I have seen that before.
    1
  13666. Hello
    1
  13667. I used to have rotors and drums worn to death hanging on the wall. After 20 years, I have recycled most of them.
    1
  13668. I like that I can learn something here even on simple battery exchange. The explanation of the test results was great. Thanks for another great video.
    1
  13669. That battery was an AGM but it still would have failed the test. And resting at 12.16 is not okay, it's effectively 40-45% state of charge. The capacity range of a 12 volt lead acid battery only spans about one volt so for an AGM resting at 12.7 fully charged, it is fully discharged at ~11.9 volts. That said, I have this argument with my car audio customers on a fairly regular basis. They complain that their amplifier is draining their battery or they complain that their system isn't performing well and I do a battery test and show them their battery is basically junk. Some of them have a difficult time understanding that just because the battery cranks the car, that doesn't mean it's good. And this is a nightmare problem for hard headed people who drive modern Chryslers with TIPM modules. I've told a number of them to change their battery and if that doesn't fix their problem I'll pay for the new battery and they can keep it. To date I've never had to buy a battery, lol.
    1
  13670. It’s amazing when you live up north and when it reaches 0df how many battery’s fail

  13671. F'D Over Rebuilt Dodge was always my favorite.😊 Followed closely by First On Rubbish Dump.

  13672. Ray, the video was ok, except for the talking in the middle to another person, but this video wasn't needed. You're a great guy Ray, but you just need to tell anyone that criticizes to get bent. You have made you who you are today and anyone that criticizes that is just jealous of that. Don't ever let yourself question a detractor, that's what they are there to do. Anyone that criticizes me on either of my channels, doesn't get a response. So don't let them get at you.
    1
  13673. Because… gravity. 😆

  13674. It's alive 😃🤖

  13675. Ray, it's as if you were reading my mind! Outstanding!! 👌

  13677. "I bet they live in an apartment." - I pissed myself. 😂
    1
  13678. I've soldered many a new battery terminal on cables near batteries. Never had an issue. Did have one battery spontaneously blow it's top. Not running, no one near it just blew up. I noticed you're not wearing your ring in this video. 👍

  13688. It will die down over time once it sits and the bubbles all go out. He will recheck it in the parking lot before handing the keys back. I’m 99.9% sure he was freeing up the shop space.
    1
  13689. New battery tools make all the difference in the world.
    1
  13690. Watching you work with your power tools and sometimes struggling reminds me of a Precision Transmission post where they tore down a tranny with only hand tools. Took a really long time.
    1
  13691. Completely misses missing bolt on rear propshaft flange....
    1
  13692. I'm sure you've heard this before. Bolts are sized by the thread not the head. If you were to buy bolts, thread pitch and diameter are key. Keep up the entertaining videos! And I wish you to have a great day!
    1
  13693. You do know SMA is laughing at the rusty resistor. That's just dusty!
    1
  13694. Voice over is fine as a second choice with me Ray. I noticed that with the external mic, only one side was picking up. Not stereo as in the voice-over. Love your vids...

  13725. Love all the "Reeeeeeee" about safety. This is Florida! But I can't believe you two girly men needed a forklift to move that post into position.😂

  13733. Wasn't that the vvt oil pressure valve for the Toyota Land cruiser you just worked on with Gummi oil deposits and soon to be found stuck rings and burns oil. The guy just bought used. Think it had like 45k miles on it and its first ever oil change just before he bought it.
    1
  13734. Always a learning curve with new equipment. Something tells me that you wont be able to fully resolve the white balance with this new camera due to the shop lights you have, and the nature of the sun, unless you are willing to get some shades. But i think that will take away from how you film your videos. I'm willing to live with a little bit of imperfection here.

  13798. Ray did you receive the Reddog gift

  13799. Ray I'm not gonna lie, when you said "again", the only thing I heard and saw was Forest Gump telling his story 😂 🤣, sorry man.

  13800. Best line of the enitre video ....yes BLUHA is a technical term 😅😆🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

  13801. I am kind of disappointed. I watched this to the end and never saw that crystal ball you bought off the Snap-On truck. 🤪

  13804. I didn't know milwaukee made a M12 soldering iron! Sweet! also, it's much easier soldering large cables with a torch.
    1
  13805. While I LOVE your method for sleeving the power cables, the remote wire wasn't such a good idea. Why? Because by putting a crimp connector on the end of the wire, then sticking it into the crimping terminal, you've caused an extra point of failure. Other than that, as an old installer, I give your job, an 8 out of 10. The "installer" who originally did this, doesn't get a score, because they were an idiot... The reason I gave you an 8, is because of the remote wire, and bending the speaker terminal tabs. When those tabs are bent like that, you weaken them, as well as cause an increase in resistance. I know, I'm being nitpicky, but if it were my install, those would've been failed and replaced... :oops: P.S. FYI, Speaker impedance is measured by RMS, so it's normal, for a speaker to measure higher resistance on an Ohm meter.

  13806. 206th! Good morning Ray,Lauren,Dave,and Justin. Didn’t know you repaired sound systems as well? A man of many talents. Roger in Pierre South Dakota

  13807. Man some people just find fault with everything........rather than have PMA...a Positive Mental Attitude. A tip or two from me FWIW. Bootlace crimps/ferrules are great for wire to screw terminal or spring tension retention. I never twist the wire strands as it interferes with the crimp depression. Besides from that Ray, LOVE watching your daily work/shananigans as I get to see the faults, fixes and methods on anything that comes through the door. And your humour.
    1
  13808. No comment. I wrote a big long one, but you may take offense to it and it was not ment to be that. FIY the 2 sets of speaker Conectors - and - and + and + On most mono block amps do the same thing. So each wire can use its own screw down connector. That was a Rockford Fosgate amp install kit. And speaker wire.

  13809. RainMan Ray still in charge of his channel and if I could when the time comes I want Ray to do repairs on my truck. No doubt RainMan Ray has education training and experience. Come a LONG way babeeeee since the corporate mechanic job. love the RainMan Ray's mechanic channel!!!

  13810. I'm complaining that this channel is not for complaining.

  13812. It would be better with puppies helping

  13813. I really wouldn’t want to sit in the back seat of that truck and get an audio enema.

  13814. I have started to use only un-insulated brass connectors and marine-grade shrink tube with the glue inside.

  13815. ROFL should have a channel just for complaints Ray
    1
  13816. Regarding your question asking the proper plural form of "apprentice" After a fairy amount of research, I am confident the answer is "platypuses"
    1
  13817. I'm rocking some old school MTX 10"s
    1
  13818. The correct plural of the word "octopus" is "octopuses". "Octopi" is an older, but incorrect, plural form.
    1
  13819. You should have tightened the speaker screws using a star pattern.😂😂😂😂

  13820. You solder like me. Not done till you get burned😊
    1
  13821. OK, I will keep my mouth shut on critiquing your solder skills. I am NASA Certified on soldering and have been for 40 years. If it works for you, it's great!!! Thanks for the video,

  13822. @ Ahh that makes sense. Thanks, Ray!

  13826. Wow. We have flooding in Houston. I know what you’re dealing with. Stay safe Ray. You and wife and kids
    1
  13827. 138th! Ray,Lauren,Dave and Justin, have gotten caught up in TWO tropical type storms. One in outside the Miami area that made the windshield wipers useless, and we were on a banked road that we slid down almost hitting another car. And a couple days ago I was in a tornado storm, it passed us by luckily, but again the windshield wipers proved to be useless. I had to keep driving even though I couldn’t see anything because of the cars behind me couldn’t see either,and I didn’t want to get rear ended. The last one was much scarier than the Miami storm. I hope your house wasn’t flooded. Roger in Pierre South Dakota

  13830. And just in case anyone's in doubt ... adrenaline is brown 💩😉

  13831. Ray you are so right! No one should see their vehicle pulled down that far. It would be like being in the operating room while a family member is having open heart surgery. Perhaps worse, depending on the family member!
    1
  13832. Yeah ! Got it out, and the Engine is off. Next comes the grunt work of swapping out the Transmission.

  13836. Do you get feeling claustrophobic shut up inside a boarded up house waiting for a storm to pass?
    1
  13837. The parts system is fucked........... Long wait times or shitty quality parts. No technician likes having to redo a repair because of parts failure.
    1
  13838. Your arm wasn't your hair on your arm was lol 👍
    1
  13839. Should have added at the intro of this the 'screech-screech-screech' sound effect like in scenes in horror movies as this car seems to be haunting you. At least this was a relatively easy fix, had good amount of room, a small number of bolts involved. Of course 'duh' is would have been done sooner if refilled the system before putting on those covers.

  13848. So, up here in Canukistan, we would pronounce that company's name as Sticker Planet. Cheers.

  13849. So many REEEEESSS, and letting the language just fly…..some days, that’s just how it is…..and judging by some of Ray’s sayings, makes me think he’s a Bubba the Love Sponge fan….you bought the one on Hillsborough Ave….WOW….

  13850. without the Florida Keys, we'd not have had Jimmy Buffet and the Coral Reefer band. but the term "Parrothead" was actually born in Cincinnati Ohio!

  13857. Ray, your style of video repair demonstration is similar to Mustie1. You and Mustie talk to us, not at us. And we all appreciate that subtle difference. Cheers from Chinada.

  13872. Truly a man of many talents Mr. Ray! Because you are so clever... Karens all over are gearing up to explode... ATF will now invent laws to prohibit this... your video will probably get taken down or a warning placed on it because it "scares snowflakes" .... U.S. congress will hold a special caucus to discuss the horror of what you have done and EVERYONE else will be applauding your vision and resourcefulness! (I would seriously offer a "Rainman Air Conversion Kit" in your merch store). Good on ya! 👋😄

  13889. woah woah woah, what did I just witness? Ray, actually used brake clean on brake parts? lol j/k I used to rebuild those cylinders with my dad back in the day. Honing stones and a rebuild kit. rebuilt the alternators and starters as well. Love this channel.
    1
  13890. Thanks guys. All very different to here in the UK
    1
  13891. Just the labor to rebuild the cylinders is more than the units cost.

  13898. Fun fact about a Mish mash of parts. That's a Toyota steering wheel. Saturn WAS a Korean company in the beginning. Gm shook hands with a lot of the Japanese over the years. Gm rebadged some Toyota as geo products, the saturn you've got here (Honda drive train definitely an upgrade over bankruptcy era gm) lots of examples to go through.

  13899. Thanks!

  13900. I believed everything that troll said. It's obvious to everyone that you are a multi-billionaire with several thousand personal vehicles you work on in your two fully-equipped workshops. And how much do you pay Peter, and the others to appear in your videos?

  13950. Showed this video to my whole shop, everyone died. Love your content man. Been a mechanic for about 15 years and for some reason, even in my down time I’m watching automotive stuff. The “click” torque wrench gets me every time.
    1
  13951. Ray, great video and to answer your question, Yes I have several Ram's that have had the broken exhaust bolts. On each one the bolts came out with an extractor, but they are southern vehicles.
    1
  13952. Okay, how many of us came down here to see the trolls go REEEE when Ray broke out the belt sander? LOL Ray saving the customer money AND doing his usual stellar job for the win EVERY TIME!!!

  13953. Why do you drive on a parkway but park on a driveway?

  13954. Most of so called 'Rip Offs' aren't intentional ! Poorly Trained Techs with Poorly developed Diagnostic skills is the Primary reason. 2nd is those ignorant of their incompetence.

  13955. AWESOME Brake Clean effects Ray!!! Was starting to lose hope....lol! Thanks for another informative video brother! Glad you are feeling better! Cheers!
    1
  13956. Nice SINGLE example of a 'chemtrail' observed. I did take notice of you mentioning genetically engineered (GMO) food products...well done! You're not alone Ray. Although I very much appreciate your mechanic videos (I DO!) I also catch your world view in your commentary, KUDOS and please keep hinting as you always have. "click" and "gravity" has been etched into my mind forever!!!! Not mind control but perfect fit. Love your videos.

  13959. Retired landfill inspector (30 years) here. Yeah, you are not driving on "ground", you're driving on 50' or more of compressed garbage with a skim coat of dirt put over it each night to deter the seagulls and control odor somewhat. It's kind of like driving on a pile of engine shock mounts and exhaust rubber hangers to put it in perspective :) Just a quick tip when loading the dump trailer... keep all long boards oriented the length of the trailer, so they don't slide and lock against the rails when dumping... tip the trailer till the entire load drops, then bring it back down so its about 1' off the working surface, then drive away.

  13960. Tropicana doesn't incinerate the orange peels. They're first squeezed to extract oil that goes into things like perfume and then the peels are baked and turned into flakes (creating that burnt orange smell during the process). Then the flakes are blended with some other ingredients and sold as animal feed.
    1
  13961. I was thinking the same thing about the firetruck! Great minds think alike, lol!!

  13995. Hey Ray that's a 2v

  13996. Had one on a 6.7. Sounded like the engine was going to explode. It was the ac compressor and a tensioner about to come apart. Was the ac on during this test? Usually you mention that. Unless i missed it.

  13997. Hey Ray thought I would let you guys know that your American team in the Australian Lego Olympic beat the rest of the world I know it has nothing to do with cars or mechanical repairs but I just wanted to let you guys know

  14005.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  You got lots of trollers. It's weird to me because they all have to chime in with... "I do this..." ...or... "You should've done that..." Having worked in Nissan, Chevy, Ford dealers I learned a crap ton from all the old guys. I've done the oil filter assembly in pentastars since I owned the Durango so I'm familiar with it but watching you I've learned a couple of tricks. I especially love the "Customer States..." vids. It's a flashback to some of the most crazy RO's I've ever had. Keep up the good stuff man, fight the good fight yo!

    1
  14015. That is part of the reason parts are so high
    1
  14016. It sounds like the parts dude might be in cahoots with the returnee … Splitting the money on returns and now the suppler is also getting screwed…

  14018. Someone needs a vacation. Michigan is really nice this time of year. I'm just saying.
    1
  14019. I think it is clear who's at fault. You make a good argument but at the end of the day the store is responsible for making sure part's are satisfactory. When people are lazy and don't take pride in their work, this is what happens. Keep moving forward Ray 👍
    1
  14020. I’m sorry but you can expect more of the same…..we as a nation are changing. people don’t care about what’s right or wrong ,they are trying to put a convicted felon in the whitehouse…… so you can forget about morality or anything close to that going forward….. we will end up like the movie “purge”🤷🏿‍♂️😳😳😳
    1
  14021. I worked for Napa for 10 years. I would have the customer take out the part and inspect it and have them sign the receipt that cut down on people bringing back “new returns” that they damaged or try to pull a fat one and put an old part in the box.
    1
  14022. I scrutinize my breakfast at the fast food restaurant because employees don't do their job so..... The thing to do is make your case known but don't get over into offense. Staying offended at others keeps you all wrought up in emotional turmoil and poisons everyone around you.
    1
  14023. It appears that someone lit Rays fuse. 5:24 If I was ordering parts, and there's something wrong with them when they arrive, I would obviously call them out about it. I would also inform them of exactly how this has cost you and your customer's time! And it could possibly cost you CUSTOMERS because of this issue. I would have also remind them that THEY HAVE BROUGHT INTO QUESTION THEIR ABILLITY AND YOUR TRUST IN THEM TO BE A RELIABLE SOURCE FOR QUALITY PARTS! Tell them you would like this to be corrected going foward, in hopes that it doesn't continue to happen. AND IF IT CONTINUES, WELL THEN GO TO PLAN "B". RATTLE THEIR CAGE! Suppliers are trying to make money too. But it should not be at your expense. GREAT VIDEO AS ALWAYS RAY!
    1
  14024. Well said man. Kudos on the self control. If I made a video like this it would be FILLED with colorful vocabulary. 😂. Hope things get better bud.

  14025. totally off-topic, Ray, the floor paint is making the shop look really shiny.
    1
  14026. If you take back parts that you broke and don't tell them then you are a scam bag and a thief!!
    1
  14027. The biggest truth was the front line worker not caring. Unless the store are well manged ,the lower payed minimum wage employees don't care. when the employee doesn't care if he loses his job or benefits because its not worth it this will happen.
    1
  14028. Thanks for explaining all the financial consequences of sloppy parts store behaviour.
    1
  14029. Preach, Ray This kinda shit has personally cost me good business.
    1
  14030. I'm involved in this type of logistics, I handle the delivery. There's no fudging way anyone will get away with this. We're also not in the US so there's that. Return a fraudulent item you're getting hosed up down in and out for real. Got an item incorrectly and didn't tell us about it? Baseball bat is coming out the next time I arrive 🤬 Everyone can make an honest mistake, but there is zero tolerance for any sort of fuckery. Period. There's one particular customer, a salvage yard that also do car repairs, I've pegged as completely untrustworthy. He won't get a visit until every invoice is quadruple checked including every single box parts number so they match the order, not even a single oil plug washer will slip through.
    1
  14031. 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔Ray should run for President!!!! then this would not happened

  14032. Can we just go back to the 70s things were less complicated and more people had morals.
    1
  14033. I work at a O’Reilly store in Ohio and we check every box that comes into our store. I know what you are saying and I personally can say that I totally agree with you. Not only does it put you behind it also makes the company look bad for selling you a damaged item. I’m sorry Ray that it happened to you but if you was in Ohio and close to my store, you wouldn’t be getting damaged parts
    1
  14034. Truth. As goes the financial system, so goes the supply chain. Cheers all from JT's Chinada.

  14035. Blame the politicians for sitting around making rules and expecting to be given everything free.... ( I'm of the opinion that if you can't survive alone 100 miles from anything resembling something made by. a human for 3 days, you can go ahead and get ready for the next step....

  14036. I had to buy a pair of jackstands today because I was in a jam working at a friends house, she said “ just save the receipt and return them when you’re done “ I said, absolutely not! I needed them, I had to buy them, I use them, now I own them. Pretty much the same thing that this video is about.

  14039. Wonder if they make a geared wobbly extension so you can torque at a negative angle..? Ive seen the flat attachments but not a wobbly.. those ball wobbly suck the way they bind up all the time.. want something that wont slip out or bind up but figure itd just break the gears inside because of compounding ratios inside.. like a ball gear.. aliem technology..
    1
  14040. If you get the angle right length doesn't really matter. ( that's what she said) sorry had a immature moment.

  14041. Thanks for al 4 parts 👍🏻

  14042. Really enjoyed this series.

  14043. I’m kinda surprised they didn’t do an oil and filter change as long as they were at it. Maybe it wasn’t due yet.

I’ve been using the America First 🇺🇸 tag for some time now on many different platforms but most recently the post has been deleted almost as fast as I post it. For all I know my YT account could be hacked by googles ai algorithm. Lord knows big tech hates America 🇺🇸. Thanks for the info and first step to getting it fixed.

  14048. That’s such a bad day. You come in for an oil change and then your ignition coil goes boom

  14052. Yeah that sucks, it happens. Some customers are understanding while others are a hell spawn.
    1
  14053. Can I ask a question as a none driver with zero mechanic knowledge? The fault was detected on the number 3 coil which was swapped around with the number 2 coil to double-check the fault. The new part replaced the faulty number 3 coil but was put back into the number 2 cylinder, while number 2 was left in the number 3 cylinder. Sorry for the confusing rambling, as I said I have zero knowledge. Does it matter that the number 3 coil wasn't put back into the number 3 cylinder?

  14054. the long story short your employer wanted to maintain a repeat customer and damage control the potential negative feedback. interesting video at least. gives insight as to how ppl can be sensitive to cause and effect when it doesn't apply here.

  14055. That was a good business move the forfeit the labor cost or public perception word-of-mouth is a business killer

  14056.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  100% your process makes sense. I was misinformed.
    1
  14057. From what I have heard from a few semi drivers is just wait until you can't get that DEF fluid as the production of it comes mainly from overseas. And he has already found quite a few truck stops out west that were totally out and had to go to a local Autozone or such to get it...which they won't allow the large purchase amount needed to maintain a semi truck's usage full time. The funny part of his story was, as a driver and having a pee stop whenever you need it just isn't feasible always he and many drivers are using those pee bottles you get from your doctor to measure urine output. Just unzip, load the "dipstick", and relief comes swiftly to store for the next stop...lol. I can't help picture drivers doing this and something happens they spill it all in their floors...lol. Anyway, their shop/company mechanic said it was just pee so if in a pinch just pour their pee bottled up stuff into the tank and get to a place where you can get the DEF fluid. Well, a driver he was tag teaming with somewhere out west near Montana was getting the low DEF light and was starting to get concerned. So, he takes his little bottle...and my driver friends' stock donation...and pours it into the DEF tank...they said it was synthetic pee. So, he does, and sets out again. A few dozen miles down the road the truck goes into limp mode, totally shuts down, warning alarms going off and lights all over the dash, and he pulls over to stop...and the truck won't start at all. When the diesel mechanic his company called came to figure it out he found pee in the DEF tank. And, he went off on the driver. Needless to say, after a few thousand dollars of a bill to do repairs, since our pee isn't DEF fluid and it had damaged several electronic sensors and such he gets back on the road...days later of course...only to get back to the main depot and get fired. DEF isn't pee like we....well, wee...LOL. Putting pee in will destroy many sensors. So, don't put pee in the DEF tank. LOL. Truck drivers have the best stories...truthful or not...ROFL> Take care, Ray.

  14073. Ray, you are 100% correct for science. The engineers that everyone hates so much have beat this subject to death. New tires in the back no matter what the drive train is will create under-steer instead of over-steer and it has been proven that accidents caused by under-steer are far less disastrous than from over-steer. It has also been proven that the general public deals with under-steer better than over-steer. However, you will have plenty of people who will argue this until their face turns purple, so I just learned to let it go.

  14078. A professional can guide his foot so nearly all the force goes vertical and the spanner/wrench can do its job. When I was a spotty teenager, I got this badly wrong--used my foot, put some side load on and it slipped off. Hurt my foot and damaged the bolt head as well :-)

    1
  14082. With video sped up how do you avoid a chipmunks copyright claim?
    1
  14083. You can adjust the torque on the impact to a low setting just to zip them on quick and torque the rest of the way with the torque wrench. They also have torque limiting extensions of course everyone whose not a pro wants to assume they know better than the pros.

  14089.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  I was known in the shop as The human torque wrench. While autocrossing with a buddy who was a Ford engineer, He freaked out when i swap out wheels and tires with a cordless impack and no torque wrench. I said torque specs are 95 to 105 foot pounds, He went over all 20 lugnuts, All were in spec

  14090. Of all the tools you use that brake caliper tool is the best

  14093. You florida boys are spoiled. Rear brakes on a van like that in Illinois after 4 years of salty winter roads.... This would have been a 3 hour video of torching, hammering, pressing, pounding, prying and cussing to get those big rotors off. I just changed the starter on a 97 F150. All 3 of the steel M8 bolts were "welded" to the aluminum transmission housing. I got to drill and tap them all. And I'm still waiting for the weather report, RAINman. ;) Good vid. Screw the Bill Smiths of that world that are so anal that they torq the toilet paper holder in the portapotty.

  14096. Have a great day Ray Ray!!
    1
  14097. So, you didn't have to bleed the brakes after sucking the reservoir dry?
    1
  14098. Honest and serious question from a beginner shadetree mechanic looking to learn: is there any particular reason Ray doesn't look up torque spec and use his torque wrenches on caliper bracket bolts and slide pins? Is it time? Is it resources? Is it unnecessary?
    1
  14099.  @61rampy65  those old rotors looked pretty damned good to my eye. An extra 20 minutes bleeding out that nasty fluid would have been a good payback. But business is business I guess.
    1
  14100. The torque rod extension is designed to limit the maximum torque applied to a lug nut. If you SOMEHOW try to over torque with one of those extensions it will break LONG before the lugs or the studs (so long as they are in good shape). Your lack of knowledge and experience shows, but that can be remedied with a bit of reading and desire to learn.
    1
  14101. He didn't. Customer declined fluid exchange service.

    1
  14134. I no way you pull up the dipstick Jimmy lol and the taken off the oil cap it's a reminder no oil is in the engine so do not start the engine in till you have put the dipstick and oil cap back then you start the engine till you have oil presser then turn off engine check for oil Lek's then recheck oil on the dipstick to see if full then you may run the engine

  14145. I mean, nuclear is environmentally friendly, all the cooling towers just emit water vapor, and there are thousands of them around the world. We've only had 4 (if memory serves me right) nuclear incidents, where Chernobyl was operator error, Fukushima was a true disaster that was not foreseen in the sense of a big earthquake, which the plant managed just fine, but the huge tsunami overcame the tsunami shield on the plant. 3 mile island was a mechanical error which lead to erroneous readings and I forgot the 4th big one. Now, nuclear waste, currently is extremely safe, the "caskets" are extremely secure and made to store the waste, for at least, 1.000 years. Now, back in the '60s we learned how to re-use the spent fuel rods, but it was incredible expensive but I'm aware there's a couple of reactors around the world that use nuclear waste to make nuclear energy. We have the knowledge on how to re-use nuclear waste, it's just a financial wall that's keeping use from using those reactors along with the normal ones.

  14149. Walnut shells are sharp, but not hard. They are much softer than the metal parts in the combustion chamber. They are also flammable. They will burn, and pass right through the engine. I suppose that it would cause an issue if you left a bunch of shell in the engine, but you would have to be stupid, ignorant, or extremely careless to end up with that much shell in the engine. Blasting for a long time with the valves open could definitely put enough shell in the cylinder to bend a rod when you attempted to start the engine.

  14153. I've only watched about 1/2 the video so far (places to go, things to see, people to do) and some people who don't know might be confused about you referring to the blasting medium you're using only as "walnut" instead of walnut SHELLS. Jus' in case any1 was confused...

  14156. Hydrogen is even more nonsensical than all battery powered cars. It takes more energy and emits more pollution to create and store hydrogen than it does to charge a battery or just use gasoline.

  14157. You rock, Ray! I'm just commenting for the algorithm.

  14158. I don't think the walnut media will hurt anything inside the engine, if anything it will just burn up during combustion and spit out down the exhaust. And then burned off on the cat.

  14160. Ray, perhaps "clean as a whistle" refers to a train whistle, which would be steam-cleaned.

  14162. The only real problem with hydrogen is storing it. As it's extremely volatile, it's tricky to handle. We have a method of storing it on metal sheets but that's where it has been for the last 20+ years.
    1
  14163. "Clean as a whistle" comes from trains. Steam engines used steam to blow their whistles. So they were steam cleaned ever time they blew them.

  14168. Subscriber from the beginng here, Ray. Wanted to point out that if one has 600k subscribers and only one out of 10 is an ahole, that means 60,000 aholes. If only 1 in 100 aholes comment, that's 6000 rude comments. In other words, don't worry about the negative stuff some say. When you have that many people watching your great content, some aholes will always feel the need to be themselves. Just keep right on doing what you're doing. Love your channel.

  14172. Had to laugh when you were talking about the snow and yuck. Just had to replace the conductor plate in my 6R80 transmission in my ford f150 in my driveway, with a floor jack, 22 degrees outside, the day after we received 18” of snow. Felt you were speaking directly to me with that comment. lol.

  14186. You sound good, so congrats on recovery, just don't contract anything else , got that. Now that we've cleared that I've got to say, I've been a prefill kinda guy. The manner in which I preformed this feat was to take filter and plug return with my thumb, slowly pour oil into entrance holes and stop when they filled to the point of bubbling. Not realizing the contaminates I introduced. Having never been employed buy a shop time was not an issue, my thought was to moisten the filtering agent causing a diminished travel time. Just how I thought, not an opinion superiority. After interacting with Mr. Stone another subscriber here, I read a large number of argumentative responses regarding the filter prefill issue. You've made yourself clear previously as to not prefilled installation is correct. After listening to you I thought that I should do same. This long response is mostly geared to Mr. Stone and I observing the negativity of others opinion, asserting they're belief beyond engineering , research, development, and manufacturer guild lines they are correct. It would seem their hateful degenerated opinions rise to the point of murder if circumstances permitted. Their ignorant opinion is based solely on that ignorance, only a proven study would cure that view. I doubt they'd change their vile view regardless of findings. You mentioned Caterpillar as a reference, it doesn't get any better then that, how many millions over 50+ years experience to state" do not attempt to pre-fill oil filters". I'm not engaged in arguments with others opinion as to who's right or wrong, nor claim bla bla to you being wrong. You changed the ignorant guffy way i prefilled filters based on your outline. Nuff said, thank you for making it to this point. All the best for your continued success. Bid you a pleasant morning. With intelligence I hit the mark. Figuring solutions for vast expanses.
    1
  14187. Well I don't think I've ever heard of an engine seizing or spinning a main because the filter wasn't prefilled. So the argument can go both ways. I mean I get it from both sides, I think it's personal preference. You can prefill the filter from the outside holes only so it becomes filtered before entering the motor, or just crank the engine without starting it (pedal to the floor) after changing the oil to then pump and fill the filter before firing.

  14194. Good to have you back... Absolutely agree with you on the oil filter question
    1
  14195. As someone who services diesels for the company I work for Cardboard is your friend my brother
    1
  14196. Welcome back. So very glad that you have beat the bug. I will go will your guidance on oil changes.
    1
  14197. extra points for using a funnel ;)
    1
  14198. Wait a minute, if the last documented oil change by your shop was 15k miles/a year ago, how could you be responsible for it now?
    1
  14199. Dam you gravity!
    1
  14200. I agree preefilling oil filters are not a good idea
    1
  14201. I prefill the oil filter on my car. My car, My Choice. Done this for over 50,000mi and I have no issues. No noise from the car, no oil leaks.
    1
  14202. Mechanic here. I have seen a "perfect" double gasket where the two gaskets were lined up just right so they did not leak nor slip out of alignment. The customer's dad had been the last one to change the oil in the vehicle, and it had been over a year since. I have never seen that before or since; nor even heard about it happening. Anyway, that's my unicorn story. Also: #noprefill
    1
  14203. Sometimes you just accept your fate, get that oil on you, and then go get cleaned up.
    1
  14204. Although Dan Kintz doesn't agree, your reasoning is valid and well reasoned. Another great video. Glad to see that your health is good.
    1
  14205. Cuz gravity…. Lol
    1
  14206. What you said about prefilled makes sense. If something gets in the system at least it will go thru the filter before the mains and rods get the oil!
    1
  14207. Welcome back to work got a oil change for you oh by the way you got to work on the floor.I never pre fill mine because it's on at a angle never had a problem
    1
  14208. Glad that you are back brother! The wife and I went through the Rona at the same time last September. Some people want to blame anyone else for their own problems. Keep turning those wrenches.
    1
  14209. Interesting topic! I work for a nation wide oil change place here in San Diego Ca. And they make us fill those filters for the fords and Dodges ! Mandatory fill , at least 2 quarts in the filter alone , I will be holding a meeting with the crew and bosses to show them this video and get their opinion !! Love you’re content Brother ! Glad you’re back and well , please keep these videos coming !
    1
  14210. Corona almost got my father, welcome back! I change oil at 3K miles, direct from the jug, and always pre-fill the filter on my 4Runner (258K miles) and wife's Avalon (140K miles) might not need to do it, but that's what I do on my cars.
    1
  14211. Yay for wobbly bits! Hope your legs aren't wobbly bits from your sharona. So happy you're okay. 👍
    1
  14212. REEEEEEEEEEEEEE!! YOU DIDN'T PRE-FILL THE FILTER!! REEEEEEEEEEEEEE!! Oh, and welcome back. Glad you're doing OK.
    1
  14213. Yay! I missed the morning videos.
    1
  14214. The pre fill logic doesn’t make any sense for a daily ran engine at all. Oil residue clings to a surface for days. And these aren’t just open surfaces we are talking about. These are pin sized holes and channels that hold oil in place for the most part due to suction. And the bearing surfaces are sandwiched in metal on both sides. It would take weeks for all the oil to leave the bearing surfaces. If you take you motor apart and clean it or let it sit for over six months you should use assembly lube so you don’t produce any micro scuffing or scratching that can happen in that split second of dry turning that will slowly become a fast acting engine destroyer. For a daily ran engine the oil system is beyond fast enough to ensure no dry turning.

  14215. Enjoyed

  14220.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  Experiment already concluded (pocket notes LOL), anyways.... I have a crack level addiction to my morning white Monster.. But for the last 2 weeks they've either tasted flat or like something close to white monster, but with an added "odd" flavor.. Like the first one i drank right after getting sick tasted flat, but also like it might've been old, or past date.... IDK... weird as hell. LOL
    1
  14221. Damn Ray... You had it same days i did.... Still can't taste shit tho.. Worst part. LOL.

  14224. Welcome back to the world 🌎 glad your ok 👌
    1
  14225. i own a diesel. Guarenteed to get oil all over when changing it . I was chuckling at you when you said you were trying to stay clean----never
    1
  14226. My dad has been a diesel instructor for almost 40 years. I'm gonna ask about this prefilling of the filter. He was an instructor at caterpillar for over 25 of those years. Not saying you're wrong, just gonna get his opinion.
    1
  14227. Welcome back brother!
    1
  14228. If the oil filter or fuel filter said to be prefilled especially a label for it. I'd do it, but not in the inner filter, the outer filter, of course.
    1
  14229. Another thing to consider is that not all oil filters attach to the engine in the same orientation. Years ago I changed my oil at home, but since the filter screwed onto the engine horizontally, it would have spilled oil as I screwed it into place.
    1
  14230. And to confirm what you said about quality control. We reclaim hydraulic oil at or facility for reuse in our facility. We have sent samples of the reclaimed oil and of brand new oil and the result was the reclaimed oil (as far as micron size of particles) was by far cleaner than the new oil.
    1
  14231. I never prefill the filter based on pure laziness. Good to know I was right the whole time.
    1
  14232. Oh yeah! Welcome back
    1
  14233. Good job!
    1
  14234. Reeeeeee

  14235. Glad to see you back to work. Hope wife and kiddos are over it too.
    1
  14236. No reason to prefill the filter just remove the fuel pump relay and crank it it will fill it up and running the engine without oil for a 2-3 seconds don’t think it will harm it…
    1
  14237. And we all know gravity sucks. :-)
    1
  14238. Welcome back Ray, glad you're OK... that being said, I never prefill my oil filter... mainly because mine is mounted upside down on the top of the engine!
    1
  14239. I’m doing my oil filter changes for about 35 years I have never pre-Filled And oil filter for that exact reason great job
    1
  14240. I never pre fill the filter before installation

  14243.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  I work in the same industry only in the marine industry. I take care of million dollar yachts and the people rely on me the be both a professional and discrete. When you publish a persons personal habits, be it a dirty vehicle or poor maintenance, you are violating their privacy and treating them like a piece of shit. No cool. So I wanted to show you that I noticed a change in your attitude and behavior and just say awesome job. I like you channel and enjoy your videos. Now that I see a change in attitude, I like it even more. You're more a professional now than a youtube douche nozzle. From one pro to another... good job.
    1
  14244. As to pre filling a oil filter. I do not prefill. Rays reasoning seems sound as you can not see a particle the size of a micron. I have never thought of the possible contamination issue. When doing a oil change and refilling the oil in a timely manner you will not hurt your bearings, as some will say, because there is still a film of oil on those bearing surfaces left after the oil is drained.
    1
  14245. Glad you are back

  14246. Welcome back Rainman!
    1
  14247. REE!!! ....nah...lol
    1
  14248. No ree from mee on the oil filters. Never prefilled them myself simply because it has potential to be messy & just "feels" wrong, and from experience that feeling is usually for good reason. Good to see you back on your feet and not suffering too bad from Aunt 'Rona. Stay well man, and also top marks to your customer for manning up and admitting he was mistaken. Not an easy thing on the ego, and not very common any more. That's the kind of repeat customer I'm sure you'll more than welcome.
    1
  14249. I don't work on cars I work on class 8 trucks and the new Mack mp7 motors have 3 oil filters on them and each hold almost gallon... I prefill.
    1
  14250. Welcome back Ray, no reee from meee.
    1
  14251. You were making me anxious while you were explaining your talk with the owner. The drain plug dude. Somebody also overtightened that. Those threads are stretched.
    1
  14252. you should always prefill the air filter.........and the blinker fluid filter.
    1
  14253. Never ever prefill filters!!!!!!! On a diesel all you need to do is disable fuel at the shut off, crank the engine till you get oil pressure, enable fuel, then start. Same on any gas engine.
    1
  14254. Welcome back Ray!!! 👋

  14255.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  me to but it doesnt stop me from working on peoples hi dollar cars and even though some of my repairs show it i go on its just a car and there money.
    1
  14256. My cars always had the filter sideways, so it's impossible anyway. So I assumed it's not necessary.

  14257. What a fool.

  14263. How dare you fill the blue water without us! 😉
    1
  14264. So, I'm wondering. Could you possibly pre-fill the oil filter if there was a way to only get the "new" oil through the small "input side" holes? Just curious. Nice to see you back at it again.
    1
  14265. Thank you this is a great video of adulting❤
    1
  14266. 100% correct on the pre-fill. 👍👍👍👍

  14267. all it takes is one grain of sand to enter a crank journal and begin a self-accelerating wear process.

  14270. Your Explanation on your practices is very thorough and based in fact and common sense. You will always have others who disagree but that's what makes us human. Been a follower for a few months and I really enjoy the content. Glad you are over the Rona!
    1
  14271. I'm in 100% agreement with Ray, I never prefill filters. Why? Because the engine will fill the filter within a couple of milliseconds anyway. Personally? I'm an ASE Certified and Ford Certified Master Tech with over 30 years experience. In all those years? and thousands of LOF's, I've never had a come back due to a simple oil/filter change....
    1
  14272. Ray, you opened a hornets nest! Lol Armchairs are pivoting and swaying in chaos!!! I'll join in. My dad taught me to prefill the filters, but he was working on stuff from the 50s through the 80s when you ran thicker oils in engines with greater tolerances. I did learn this lesson from my buddies working at the lube shop ten years ago. I don't prefill my filters.
    1
  14273. First off WELCOME BACK ! Secondly I have always pre filled BUT your logic is sound and I will follow your advice in future .
    1
  14274. Dude!!! I just went back to work earlier this week because I was out with the Rona too! Being stuck at home for 10 days was a nightmare. Lol. Glad you’re back!

  14275. Welcome back ray and thanks for the great attitude

  14276. I have never prefilled oil filters... It is bad to the engine...

  14278. I can't prefill mine 'cause it's sideways.

  14299. 36:41 dude!! I’m in my late 30’s. When I was a kid we had a pot belly stove. My parents told me “it’s hot! Don’t touch it!” Well, I just had to know. I needed confirmation. I touched it… and I burned my finger so bad skin was peeling. I’m still reminded of 8 year old me… to this day!! Haha. Don’t put a magnet near the tv! Me…. Why not?! Proceeds to test this and had a permanent round spot in the tv for years and years. Oh man. I’d friggin love to work with you both!!

  14303. I would consider the Solar Charger to be a Trickle Charger like many of us keep on our Trolling Motor Batteries...
    1
  14304. A fuse is there to protect the cable, not anything else. It needs to blow before the cable catches fire so fuse accordingly to set the maximum fuse rating, Lower rating is preferred of course, as long as it is sufficient for the intended load. In that installation, 1A would be fine. First thing that struck me was the honest value for the power output. A good sign it's a decent product. Best you can hope to get from the sun is about 1kW/m2 and typical solar cells are roughly 30% efficient tops, so work from that to get an idea if a panel specification is telling the truth or not.

    1
  14382. The Harbor Freight test leads are good for sacrificial purposes, like you just used them for. I've used Fluke DVMs for decades, and I'm surprised that the 10 A fuse didn't blow. You might want to check it to see if it's the correct one. They are supposed to be fast acting.
    1
  14383. Good day Ray and hi to Dave

  14384. If we don't watch the whole video how can we tell you ,you did it all wrong

  14385. I have missed your videos. Heard you have been stupid sick. Glad you are back. Even Eric O at SMA wasn't peaking my interest as of late. Missed you Ray man....
    1
  14386. "that doesn't go there" made me belly laugh for some reason.
    1
  14387. Ray, I misspoke yesterday on the meter fuse characteristics. The Buss (Eaton) DMM-11A fuse is used in those meters, and the fuse curve for this DMM fuse shows that the fuse would hold ~25A for around 100 seconds, give or take, if you believe the fuse curve. You have a stout fuse in there.

  14388. I can't believe I'm watching a video of splicing wire! You have good video's so I will finish watching but, I think the paint is drying faster than normal. Lol. 😄

  14396. The aluminum shields are also available from the Z71 package trucks.
    1
  14397. I think a lot of people don't handle the other fluids even when they do oil changes because a lot of the other fluid exchanges/flushes are significantly more expensive than oil is. Regularly getting quoted $175-$300 for any kind of fluid exchange/flush outside of my oil adds up in a hurry, and for some of them feels particularly high. Not that it's a good reason, but oil changes are downright cheap in comparison. As it goes though, maintenance doesn't cost, it pays.

  14430. Just a comment on the "Food for Thought". Some might argue that working with corporations can be a strategic approach to bring about change from within the system. Some believe that alliances with powerful entities can amplify the impact and effectiveness of resistance movements. Historically women's rights, racial discrimination, religious organizations, and even labor unions have utilized collaboration with corporations that were beneficial in advancing these agendas and ultimately improving our country. The food for thought is that if history has taught us anything about improving our nation it takes the cooperation of corporations to help people see that fairness and equality should be a normal thing and those who trying to keep the people in the dark ages are the minority and not the majority. Large companies have the platforms to help people see this, that's all. I'm not trying to be a troll. I really do enjoy watching but I thought I should broaden the perspective.

  14434. Once I determined that the alternator wasn't alternating and the angry pixies were pretty much sitting down for coffee break, I definitely would have put an alternator in it. And when that one didn't work, I would have assumed it was junk too and put a warranty alternator in it. And when that one didn't work either, I don't know what I would have done - apart from curse like a sailor - because never in a million years would it have occurred to me that the ECM might not be commanding the alternator to alternate. Thermite would have been considered as a viable repair option before I would think of the ECM just not telling it to turn on. "It ain't got no gas in it." -Carl, "Sling Blade"

  14437. Workin' on a Jag. Just knew this was going to be entertaining from the get go. And this did not disappoint. Was laffin' my a** off when it put itself into park. My neighbor has a Jag and I told him that No way in hell i'm going to work on it. Just give him some pointers and let him tackle it himself.

  14442. Good move , trouble with them jags is if the battery fails and you put a jumpstart on them they can and often do foul up the electronics , the rule of thumb was to fit a new battery when I was on my tools and oh yeah, hi from the UK

  14443. thumbs up. good call

  14461. And one more reason i love your content. Thank you for not being a regular mechanic and admitting you didnt know what to do with this.
    1
  14462. Smartest move today for sure.
    1
  14463. Smart man, this may have been a setup for something the owner did by trying to jump it (his or herself) hooking up a jump box or jumper cables wrong. Your modesty may have saved your reputation and job.

  14465. Thank you for ur honesty

  14466. I worked in a Jaguar and Land Rover Dealer Workshop. These Cars are trash. Expensive as hell but cheaply produced. Always something wrong. Broken Ground connectors, engine and or gearbox seals leaking, control units breaking randomly or dying after updating. Glad I don't work for them anymore. Still makes me angry to see these cars constantly break down
    1
  14467. It take a good person to basically say I have no clue WTF is wrong

  14468. You have a Dura ax??!! LOL!
    1
  14469. I think you did the right thing. Great job, not too many would have admit they didn't know.
    1
  14470. The reason the car kept back to park was because the trans computer needed time to rest under insufficient voltage from the battery. I won’t say it’s the only way to do things right, but pay enough of patience can save you time and away from mechanical damage… I was texting this comment surprisingly when you saying “gearbox fault”. Ironic
    1
  14471. Pity you could not conquer this expensive machine, but you started well by opening “The bonnet”. However you soon failed by opening “The trunk” not “The boot” LOL. My son has an all electric Jaguar but I am so low in the pecking order I am not allowed to even sit in it!

  14472. i respect you for your treatment of the customer

  14473. Forklift the whole car into the nearest dumpster.

  14474. Much better to send them to the dealer in this case. Expensive car, expensive parts... you could dig yourself a very large hole.
    1
  14475. Jaguars are a pain in the butt to work on. It's one of the reasons I won't own one. They're a pain in butt to maintain. An honest mechanic who isn't an experienced Jaguar tech is going to turn the vehicle away. Many European vehicles have this quirk that only the dealer with trained specialists can work on them. They're not like the big US 3, Toyota/Lexus or Honda/Acura where they're easy to work on or are reliable or at least you can give the customer a good diagnosis. I've heard that Jaguars spend more time in the shop than on the road. If you want reliable luxury driving; buy a Lexus or Acura.

  14489. Hay Ray thought you might have left a 10-mm socket on the last bolt you tightened. when you pulled out the electrical ratchet, did not see it on the end of the extension. or did the ghost Ray pull it when the camera was off. great video, never had to deal with oil driven cam advance before. great find and fix.
    1
  14490.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  Shop rate it is heavy duty. Fun fact, to a trucker a 1 ton is light duty. To me a OTR truck is light duty. I play with big stuff in a mine. Everyone plays wrenches and nuts, just not the same size nuts and wrenches. I'm still looking for the 6in nut on my wifes car that I use daily. Thank you for the time to make the shows Ray.

  14510. Seeing you calling the wrench a socket, it gave me a idea for a video. Do a video misnaming different tools and other bloopers during a repair and have viewers put in the comments what they caught or didn’t notice.

  14511. Best to avoid expressing anything resembling an opinion on election. No matter what, about half of the people will be upset. Both sides are insane. There's something going on that forces extremism, I'm not smart enough to figure out a solution. Not sure anyone is.

  14518. It gets old when folks believe mechanics rip people off all the time. The larger group of us do the best we can to keep your vehicles safe. You can help us by bringing your car in as issues come up, waiting usually makes issues worse—more expensive. I won’t compromise on your safety, if this constitutes ripping you off so be it. Try a cheap mechanic and let us know how that works for you.

    1
  14522.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  To be fair, you didn't say a word about those points in your video. The video I'm responding to. It was just whining about Chineseium or whatever. You should do a whole video about poor quality parts and China's role and OUR role in all of that.

  14527. 'Chinesium' is a problem because WE ALLOW IT to be a 'Problem' _______ It's a 'follow the bouncing ball' scenario of what is essentially forced labor making things as cheap as possible and there is no incentive to 'do better' from the makers or the workers because all the production exists only to generate income regardless of the amount of revenue ( It's 'all about the income itself' regardless of 'How much?' as long as it's 'there'...China uses the philosophy of 'Enough drops of water over time equal an Ocean' ) _______ In China you cannot say 'No' without repercussions...a refusal to work is considered 'Anti-Social' and that equals 'Anti-Government' which will result in being placed in a 'Re-Education Camp' for encouraging a proper attitude towards being a 'productive citizen'

  14538. Excellent Ray. That's as clear as "MUD" to me. It might be that I am a driver with friends who are "MECHANICS". So I drive the crap out of it, and they fix it...

  14539.  @RainmanRaysRepairs > I know that Ray. I was just being,,, "a bit drunk"... "An idiot". Sorry Ray, and by the way! I drank "Stella Artois" for many years, but found "Kronenbourg 1664" to be a far superior Lager. If you see it on the shelf, give it a try. It's in a dark blue can with a white patch (like a "RUGBY BALL"/football) with "1664" on it. You will see "1664" on the can's before you see "Kronenbourg". ("NOT SPONSORED"). Give it a try if you can find it Ray. You will thank me later 😄

I Have been a long time follower of Gale Banks and his racing & product offerings especially for the Duramax equipped vehicles. He is pretty much the Diesel Guru and I would surely have his systems on any diesel vehicle that I would own. He is the Godfather of diesel performance and fuel economy.

  14557. Great videos Ray! I’m really interested to see your thoughts on the Pedal Monster long term. Obviously most people like it after initial install but I have seen some people say after you get used to the throttle response with the Pedal Monster installed you can still feel the lag in the pedal. These other people arent as experienced as you so I’m interested to see your thoughts maybe 2-3 months after the install. Almost all of these other reviews I have seen didn’t have the i-Dash installed as well. Looking forward to the install video and all the other upcoming ones as well!

  14572. That was totally an unboxing. Just kind of a dumbed down unboxing. I think they call that telegraphing the future video. Cant wait to see the install of it. I'm thinking of doing a supercharger on a 2020 Chevy with a 5.3ltr. Show some stuff like that Ray. Okay, powering down in 3.....2.....1.....

  14574. Dude, I really enjoy your videos. You do great work on the cars, and making the videos. Please, please don't spend all your time working at the expense of your family. The family is way way more important than all the videos and car repair.

  14575. 10:50 be careful Ray, this could snowball into more Banks Power. If it does, I won't complain. LBZ Duramax with Banks Power is always fun.

  14584. Milky oil is a sign of a blown head gasket. The rest that i see supports that. The thicker exhaust is from water in the exhaust. Low coolant is more evidence. As is the milky oil. If it was just bought, warranty may cover it, but that is the very nature of your shop.
    1
  14585.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  They used to teach these things in school!!! It was called "Home Economics" and "Auto shop". Home-Ec wasn't just cooking and sewing!!! It was household management, budgeting, meal planning within a budget, cleaning, paying bills, balancing a checkbook, etc. My home-ec class also covered checking your car's tires and oil. It SURE was not a "slider" class!!! The first year of Auto shop covered light maintenance, and "shopping" for a car. ALSO we had "Diver's-Ed. Which also covered checking your car for safety, checking fluid levels, proper tire inflation, etc., as well as precision driving, in a parking lot, BEFORE we were allowed anywhere near a public road.

  14591. I hope it isn't my husbands car. We just traded back a 2012 Buick lucern for over heating and having issues. We live in Tampa Florida and originally bought the lucern from Toyota of Tampa bay and it was a horrible. He had it a year before he could trade it back in. He literally got his new toyota Camry a month ago. So it makes me wonder if this is the same car.

  14592. That's a lacrosse not a lucerne

  14595.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  I agree 100%. My late brother went through 3 really bad cars (<$1,000 and off Craigslist, sometimes) because that's all he could afford while going to college. He spent so much on those but really had no choice, as we were more strapped for cash then. I (still) have a slightly more reliable car so I let him use it when he didn't have a car. My dream for him was to get a decent car, not even brand new. I wish I could have done that for him. Senior year in high school was a joke and they DEFINITELY need more life based classes. I would have benefited quite a lot from them.

  14598. Buy here pay here = get a car by paying a down payment more than the car is worth, then paying 6 times it's value in monthly installments. It's always a rip off. This one was likely an auction car, sent to auction by a dealer who already evaluated it as not worth the cost of repair. Should have been sent to a scrap yard.

  14599. I bought my latest car from my mechanic. I don't go for new & shiny. I prefer reliable & dependable. I have a Subaru for winter & a Mazda for summer.

  14608. I'm an HVAC/R guy, so always cringe at what passes for evacuation and leak testing in the automotive world.🤣 Leak testing in a vacuum is like pressure testing with less than 15 psig! Much of the equipment I work on gets pressure tested at upwards of 600 psig, for 24 hours in many cases, then evacuated to below 500 microns. Of course I am dealing with much higher system pressures, many many times as much refrigerant, and compressors that have internal motors that are refrigerant cooled, and much more moisture sensitive oils. Not saying you are doing anything wrong, I realize that is the way it is done in the MVAC world.

  14609. So not only are you creating interesting content and growing your channel, but covering your ass in the case of customers trying to game the repair shop. Kinda like a police body-cam. 👀☝

  14652. I get it too on my channel. Sometimes people suck. But, most people are nice. I’m a Christian so I favor people cause I like believe people need Jesus. I like your videos and I do learn some things.

  14653. I thought it was funny that you torqued caps on a broken camshaft LOL and boy that swivel gave you a hard time.
    1
  14654. I don't know if anybody's ever told you this what you say and what you do matters because there's consequence both good and bad in this world things are more connected than you might realize.
    1
  14655. Sorry, but I was laughing when your were talking about editing your video and checking the timing while that camshaft was broken because I had a JR tech tell me something similar and it turned out the exhaust camshaft was broken and he was telling me (I'm the lead tech at my shop) it was a stuck injector. Whole banks being dead can only be a few different things, fueling isn't on that list (with that truck).

  14656. Damn Ray, sorry if I’ve ever commented that negatively man. We get your content for free so any content is good content at the end of the day and if people (myself included) want to see something else we are free to do so. Again. Sorry if my comments have ever been that bad man. Don’t mean to put anyone down irl

  14658. First video of yours I've seen, and I'm now a subscriber, thanks. The video reminds me how complicated engines are, and why electric vehicles are inevitable. Not everywhere and not always, but close enough.
    1
  14659. Hi Ray. Re: haters. The internet is great because every a$$hole gets a voice. But the internet sucks because ... every a$$hole gets a voice. I've noticed it with the younger generation who grew up with a cell phone in their hand. They cannot deal with confrontation face to face, in a mature, calm, matter-of-fact manner. It is too easy to hide behind the electronics/internet. You nailed it when you said they'll say things online that they would never say in person. I have no doubt that the lack of this skill (dealing with difficult situations face to face) will come back to bite them in the behind one day. But you have handled it like a champ. You have expressed your dislike for it in a mature manner that did not stoop to their level. And you have moved on, and went back to doing what you do! Keep doing that, Ray! You're a great mechanic, an entertaining video maker, and from what I can tell, a good person!
    1
  14660. I use wobbles on impacts...lol

  14661. Thank you for your videos. They are a relaxing watch for me to calm down to. Couldn't hurt. (Famous last words)

  14664. Today I like you even more. Let’s all stop with the attitudes.

  14665. I love your videos, and please don't pay attention to the trolls, just keep on doing your thang, there is always going to be some critic's, and all publicity is good publicity.

  14670. What I have found is that it's the keyboard warriors who have no idea how to do the work you do, who hide behind a screen an puke their intelligence to try to make up for their own inadequacies rather than keeping it to themselves an getting an education, a job, an out of mommy's basement at 28 years old. As as mechanic of 35+ years I believe that it doesn't matter where you start on a repair so long as it gets started, gets done right the first time, saves the customer as much money as possible, an gets done in a reasonable amount of time. Personally I think you are doing a good job, keep it up bubba!
    1
  14671. Ignore the haters. You have enough reasonable viewers happy to watch you work, good bad or ugly. I'm not sure why some people forget that they have a choice to watch something else, or make their own content if they feel they can do it better. Keep wrenching the clicks.
    1
  14672. You flying flibbeldy flugelhoffen! Every dingledorth knows you're supposed to remove the tailpipe first before you remove the fliggeldy gear! Just kidding! Love your videos Ray. As others have said, don't ever let the naysayers change what you do or get you down. It's considered a cliche by now but it doesn't make it not true. They're most likely doing that out of jealousy. Keep on keepin on!
    1
  14673. Hey bro, i like you and Scotty. Been following you both for many years now. Before either if you borw up. Much love bro. Forget the haters, it's common these days: common sense ain't so common. And alot of people out there who've never been punched in the face 😅

  14674. People hide behind computers, with no consequences, no name and no face, like you said, most people wouldn't have the balls to say it to people's faces, but they feel safe behind their keyboards

  14675. Ignore the arm chair critics ,they have probably never even lifted a spanner themselves,

  14676. Love the way you carefully torqued down the wrecked cam cap just like your pal from i do cars.

  14677. Ray, you have been an inspiration to me. Don't listen to the haters. Sometimes I find it peaceful just going to sleep watching your channel because as a car guy I just enjoy seeing someone fix things. As to the haters...you need to know you have been the greatest inspiration to get me to work on my own vehicles again. Just did a whole bunch of work on my Prius it's better than buying a new one. Total cost was like 1500 but better than buying another used one for 7. Your positive attitude is what I hear in my head when I work on my car. You are totally the man!

  14695. I dunno if you're uploading these with HDR on purpose, but can you maybe not? It's really hard on the eyes on a laptop (mac) that supports it, especially when you've got bright white things on screen like massive dumps of gravel, white mini vans, etc.

  14701. I'm sure this is a problem of needing time to research how things come apart. The problem being you have to run a shop, and most things are logical about how they come apart, so just get after it, eh? nods affirmatively Then a Nissan happens and borks it all up. :) I'm still kinda o.0 about the extra bracketry around the block, it's like they 'added lightness' to the block then heavied it up on the outside... Weird. I'm glad you said you were ordering a new pump, 'cause after near 300K miles, I wouldn't put the old one back in. Just askin' for that to fail and be right back in this thing. Good man, you!

  14702. As a member of the PCC (Parts Cannon Conference) I find your videos disturbing that you would actually trouble shoot a problem. Look pal we can't move parts if you look for faulty relays or simple fixes. Plus the obsession to start with clean and tight battery terminals is disturbing. The PCC has been around for a long time our reach I huge. We have lobbiest in the automotive industry pushing for more swap out parts and less technical training. (For all those who are reading this comment...relax this comment is a joke). Seriously, great video on showing that yes it sounded like a starter issue but...let's make sure it's the starter. Cheers

Hey Boss you got me on this one, after popping the rear wiper blade on the minivan' I could not believe you left the rear window dirty with dust and it was so obvious it needed to be cleaned.

Ray are you going to have to try to get your scanner for the older vehicles cuz I got to sneak and suspension that's what you going to be working on if you get a rep or having a decent prices and not trying to sell people what they don't need which I know that's what you do you don't sell people what they don't need and you try to treat everybody as if it was you in the shop getting fixed so I suggest you going to have to get you a scan tool for the older vehicles so you get a good reputation all the people just got older cars are going to be coming to you and I know you got a a pretty decent reputation for not selling people what they don't need that's what you did at the other shop if I watched a lot of your videos from the other shop yeah you didn't sell them what they didn't need all right man you have a good day and I hope you get that wrangler-bangler fixed it can't be too much wrong with it with the guy already did all the hard work replaced all the sensors and the PCM and all the other stuff it's didn't have the means and the technology and the cable in the know-how to complete it all right man have a great

  14747. Reeeeeeee, that's a YJ (Wrangler) not an XJ (Cherokee) LOL, but no reason to not thoroughly enjoy this video. Actually super amped to see the rest of this saga as I have the same intermittent starting issue on my 99 4.0 powered XJ. I suspect part of it is the ignition switch as cycling to full off have positive results but also suspect a failing fuel pump or bad connection as it struggles to idle without encouragement from the go pedal. Have not had a chance to have the fuel pressure gauge attached when it refuses to start altogether but I will cause it's a Jeep. It's been an absolute pleasure to see you making your own success. Wish you nothing but the best.👊

  14771. You can blame the romans for the calendar the way it is now. March used to be the first month of the year, July and August used to be named the fifth and sixth months before being changed to July and August to honor Julius and Augustus. Julius Ceasar ordered the change to January being the first month (previously the 11th month).

  14793. Loyal subscriber here, watch every video. Since you are such a fan of words (perhaps a "Rainman" sort of fascination), I thought this would interest you. Detent is a word directly taken from French and not Anglicized in pronunciation. It is pronounced day-taunt. Don't know if you are old enough to remember the '70s, when the Cold War was in a mode where it was like the safety of a loaded gun being in the on position, and referred to as detent, where both sides were in a more restrained mode. Another word is "similar", and this may be just your intentional whimsical pronunciation, but it comes out sim-u-lar. Just saying . . .

  14825. Love watching your videos. Keep up the good work. One comment, for a guy that uses all kinds of automatic type tools. I’m surprised you don’t use a a ratcheting screwdriver and apex bits. I’m in aviation and I have two. One is a craftsman with a fixed standard length shank and the other is Snapon with a long shank. I have fixed screwdrivers, but rarely use them. Just a thought, not trying to disparage.

  14838. You may laugh at these little cars but take my word for someone who maintains a whole bunch of them that were delivery vehicles that these are probably one of the most well made cars ever to roll off the assembly line and if you want the cheapest cost per mile one of these or an 02-08 Honda Jazz (Fit in North America) is the way to go. I've seen many of them do 150,000-250,000 miles with a water pump, battery and sometimes an alternator or sometimes and exhaust with the clutch normally being around 130,000 on average.

LOL BTW, when it comes to used parts like that, ALWAYS explain to the customer, they have a choice, get it fixed with used parts or leave it broke because you can't get a new part. Also, the fix you did with that bracket was EXEMPLARY. Looked like a brand new piece when you were done.

  14874. 392nd! Happy LEAP DAY! Ray and the wife unit. And a big LEAP to the new employees. I think buying and or rebuilding parts you can’t find new is perfectly acceptable. I have a 1993 Mercedes 300CE convertible that had a leaking pump for the retractable top. I looked for months along with my mechanic to find one. Couldn’t find even a used one. Then a friend who ran a Mercedes dealership told me about an older gentleman who specializes in rebuilding convertible top hydraulic systems. I drove from Pierre to Denver left the car, flew back home, then when he had fixed it flew back to Denver to take the car home. It cost $750 for the repair, but by fixing it, I was able to have the top go up and down so I could enjoy the convertible the way it was supposed to be used. Why have a convertible if the top doesn’t work? Roger in Pierre South Dakota

  14876. Ray - You didn't fall for that "10 worst sports cars" episode of Top Gear did you? A lot of people took that for real when it was really a dig at Richard Hammond since he had just bought one, shown sitting in his driveway at the very end of the show. That was the joke! I had one, a very nice car, not too squeaky, but that V8 was sad, didn't go at all. When my wife bought a V6 Camry that would blow it's doors off, I traded it. Plus it was coming up on 100,000 mile major maintenance. But, it surely wasn't a car to hate! The C4 corvette, now that's a car folks love to hate on =8^)

  14922. Having the nap of the liner running from front to back will also aid in improving your fuel economy! Less drag, less wind resistance! Lol Great job Ray!

  14936. And just think those headliners are put in before the windshield is placed
    1
  14937. Can you come and do the headliner in my Mustang? great job by the way

  14938. I’m glad you actually did this video because I’m fixing to do the same thing to my truck and it’s nice that I can watch somebody else do it first lol

    1
  14946. So I have noticed that the germans use the German guddamtight torque spec, as to where us Americans like to use the German spec of guentight. I personally think the guddamtight spec is just to much and runs risk of stripping bolts braking parts . What do you think @rainman
    1
  14947. What’s up
    1
  14948. check engine being a default condition on a VW - that triggered a lot of people I bet ps: I own a VW 😂

  14953. Dang, what a beat down. Take a break Ray!
    1
  14954. You didn't install or show the evap line locking tab. Hope you have a great day!
    1
  14955. I think if Ray had "just taken the manifolds off" the engine would have made SURE some of THOSE studs would break off.
    1
  14956. Been there done that. It’s gets to the point where your brain is turning to sludge.
    1
  14957. 4:07 "Scheißen" (scheissen if the ß character which indicates long S is not used) actually translates to "shitting," as in the act performed on the toilet. The "n" falls off the end if you're looking for the expletive form of the word, hence "Scheiße" (SHY-suh is about the best phonetic I can come up with). The ß character is used in German when two S's appear consecutively. Another common example is the word for street, Straße (strasse). Let's say you had a White Street in some German town, because that would be great fun with ß's: Weißstraße (Weissstrasse).
    1
  14958. The most amazing part of this video is that you knew where to locate your 10mm wrench and/or socket!
    1
  14959. Pull the exhaust manifolds?? Aren't you pretty much guaranteed to break a bolt or two on each side doing that?
    1
  14960. Probably going to get buried, and never seen. However, Ray, when you get your torch back online. The trick for those stubborn studs and bolts. If heat doesn't work the first time. Heat it cherry red, then quench it with cold water. Do that 2 or 3 times, and it should free up everything. The midwest salt corrodes everything around here, and I've never had a bolt that could resist the heat/quench cycles.
    1
  14961. 🇦🇺👍I enjoy breakfast watching Ray
    1
  14962. Ray you work for the masses. We demand car repair entertainment/educational content... you work for us we are 24/7😂 never have a day off until you die!! Bahahhaha..... na just kidding. Good videos man. Thank you for letting us tag along

  14963. Congratulations on 500K

  14964.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  Ahhh, thanks for the reply. Think I know what's going on then, YT shows a low-resolution version while the 4K is uploading in the background, it take a while. We're all early to the show, that's all.

  14966. Eric O. said, "Flashlight gravity."

  14967. I think that devise is to prevent a passenger from removing the keys while driving (and thus locking the steering).
    1
  14968. I'm honestly not surprised that it was traced back to the fuse block. I remember you stating in one of your previous videos that GM trucks/SUVs Fuse Block from the mid 2000's through early 2010's are notorious for corrosion.

  14977. First?
    1
  14978. FYI. Always remember brake cleaner is extremely flammable and will burn if source of ignition is available. Be aware of surroundings when using.
    1
  14979. I'm sure that we all noticed that you forgot to tighten the solenoid nut.

  14991. I misheard a word due to the noisy background music. What I heard was "torqued down to 22 buttpounds of torque". 😂😂😄😄
    1
  14992. Um, meniscus is part of the knee. Its the cartilage between the tibia and the femur. I had half of mine removed from my right knee 9 years ago. I think the word you were looking for is viscous, which is having a thick consistency, like high viscosity oil.
    1
  14993. Do two jobs simultaneously, get paid for both.
    1
  14994. Then 10 mins later screwdrivers.

  14995. In physics, the meniscus is the curve in the upper surface of a liquid close to the surface of the container or another object, produced by surface tension. Wikipedia.
    1
  14996. I think your so intelligent to be doing 2 services at same time. YES bill for both services
    1
  14997. Did a transmission fluid exchange myself on a similar system. We ended up due to the cold, modifying the thermostat for the transmission oil. Took the spring out and put a piece of silicon hose in it about 3/4” long. Then it was stuck open and we exchanged the oil using about 7 gallons in the machine. It had the original oil in it for like 140,000 miles… dark grey mud. Smooth as silk now!
    1
  14998. If you were not doing brakes during downtime on transmission you would be working on another car and charging for that. You also have costs involved with tools and machinery etc so not not double dipping.
    1
  14999. Lauren called you an idiot??? Well, if the wrench fits! 😂😂😂 Just Kidding Ray, You're both awesome

  15000. ​ @RainmanRaysRepairs internets are weird!

  15001. Ever since you started your own business I noticed that there is a lot less hammering going on in the background because just about every video had some form of extra noise when you were at the dealership lol

  15005. How I see it, You preformed two separate services are need to charge as such. That being said, I wouldn't charge labor on say an ignition coil replacements if I'm already charging labor on a head gasket.

    1
  15009. Ray you are teaching the Wife Unit well grasshopper 😅😅 tossing things in the shop😅
    1
  15010. Not to be that guy, but since you are always doing vocabulary stuff, “Circumnavigate” means to travel all the way around… so you’re not really circumnavigating the cars, possibly semi-circumnavigating… LOL😂
    1
  15011. I watched this again on 1/9/24 since there was not a new video for today. Anyway have a great day and a better tomorrow!!
    1
  15012.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  True, but I feel like playing. I do have to go to work in a few hours to sell more "snake oil", so may not keep this up all night.

  15014. Love your channel. Are you sure you are not Rick Moranis? You sound just like him.
    1
  15015. That is Murphy's law for you.
    1
  15016. Like the way you handle yourself in a professional manner. Your the guy I would want to work on my truck. If I didn’t do the work myself
    1
  15017. I believe that your y and x axes were off by .000002° during the uninstallation process.
    1
  15018. Also because of the four-by-four on some of them you have to pull the front differential just to get the steering rack out

  15019. Congrats on 100,000 sir

  15020. Your video's a perfect for background watching. Sometime i watch in the morning before work. It's kind of relaxing for some reason except when your trying to go home and you seem to be rushing the job.

  15021. Stop calling us engineers names :P YOU have no idea how bad it is having to design stuff with laws the scientists hand down to us, they are they real bad guys in this situation.

  15032. A man is flying in a hot air balloon and realises he is lost. He reduces height and spots a man down below. He lowers the balloon further and shouts: “Excuse me, can you tell me where I am?” The man below says: “Yes, you’re in a hot air balloon, hovering 30 metres above this field”. “You must be an engineer,” says the balloonist. “I am,” replies the man. “How did you know.” “Well,” says the balloonist, “everything you have told me is technically correct, but it’s no use to anyone.” The man below says: “You must be in management”. “I am,” replies the balloonist, “but how did you know?” “Well,” says the man, “you don’t know where you are, or where you’re going, but you expect me to be able to help. You’re in the same position you were before we met, but now it’s my fault.” Hahahaha...

  15035. Who else is commenting as the video goes on 😂 and when he took five to gather his thoughts a damn video ad pops up 🤣 perfect timing YouTube!

  15036. Ray, I’m NOT required to have a good day sir 😜

  15037. I am not, nor was I ever mechancaly minded but I love your videos. Cheers from Scotland.

  15045. Really good vid. I’m glad I came across your channel. You’ve earned a new subscriber.
    1
  15046. Ray I hear all the time about your comments here. I guess there are a lot of armchair commenters. They know how to be critical when it comes to watching videos. There is nothing wrong with a pusher fan. My 85.5 Starion came with you normal electrical fans and 1 pusher fan. Worked flawlessly. Uh Oh, you're going to get comments about using a diesel can with gasoline. HAHA. I live in California and trust me, we HATE all the regulations our "government" has instituted. Also fed up with all the taxes they take from us too.
    1
  15047. Ray demonstrates why it is called a "tune up" Just like with a musical instrument, you tune the engine by sound, feel and tools.

  15048. Re: Gas can rant - this is why an old clean jerry can is worth its weight in gold.

  15051. Luckily nut gravity didn't happen when you were fishing it out over that open intake port.
    1
  15052. Ray how do you like that 1/4” impact wrench from Milwaukee??
    1
  15053. Did you ever retrieve the socket that you dropped?
    1
  15054. Part 2!!! 🙆

  15055. Love the new intro!

  15056. First!
    1
  15057. You didn't show it, but can only assume you reconnected the heater hoses.
    1
  15058. mister ray. the reason this job suck so bad is because it was intended to replace the subframe assembly, but those are around 1500 to 2000 so thank you aftermarket for the frustrating work hahaha
    1
  15059. Tomorrow 5 more in the parking lot...
    1
  15060. No, you're right Ray, we call "soda" "pop" here in Canada. No offence taken, in fact it's the truth. :)
    1
  15061. UMMMM 6 hr on one bushing, not bad, not good either..... Sounds like you been taking lessons from Jen Psaki, perhaps you missed your true career calling of being a White House Press Secretary for Brandon, but it's not to late if you want to circle back...........
    1
  15062. Thanks!
    1
  15063. As a certified automotive engineer I can tell you that percentage and degrees are interchangeable. 🤪
    1
  15064. Also came to say Ray is a million times better at turning wrenches, then doing math. All in good fun here.
    1
  15065. 🤔not really a transmission removal, more like exhaust removal, and quite a pain it was too. remember to take breaks when you need them
    1
  15066.  @michaelgarnett1196  he actually says “33.3333333 degrees”
    1
  15067. Nifty ! BTW, 120 != 33.333...
    1
  15068. Rays on a roll ...just let him roll with it
    1
  15069. When I hear that boop sound, I repeat that back to them. By the way that sound appears to be the call centers computer connecting a person to your call. I normally just say "speak" in a firm voice. And only respond with "speak". I don't tell who I am nor do I respond to may I speak to mr or mrs whatever. Normally they go away after a few "speak"s.

  15070. Scammer trolling always lights up my day!
    1
  15071. "So you gonna pay half my LOAN..." LOL .. Nicely done!
    1
  15072. Ray needs a jar for when he says "got" when he means "have" a dollar every time it might break you of it.
    1
  15073. That zip tie that is a good hack . Hope Wife Unit shows her break job she is doing?
    1
  15074. Differance as a math term...12-6=6, 18-12=6.....same differance
    1
  15075. "Difference" in the math world has to do with subtracting or "deduction". So when I hear "same difference", I'm hearing "same deduction", which means it's the same result or conclusion. Yeah, English is interesting.
    1
  15076. On my God….lol….I literally just received that exact scammer call just now. I couldn’t stop laughing and copying how you handled. It was awesome!!

  15088. I wouldn't call that being a sell out. As someone who watches a wide range of product use/review it isn't unheard of the company that got bad feedback to call the one stating it to have a conversation about it and possibly even a factory tour to show the manufacturing process and testing methodology behind the product being spoken about. I may be a car/truck person, but I also look at technology a lot. That means I know about Gamersnexus, Jayztwocents, all the way to ugh Linus Tech Group. I would compare Ray to somewhere between Gamers Nexus and Jayztwocents. He is someone that is willing to say what he means about a product to the point when he gets called by the product manufacture, he takes the opportunity to make the company put their money where their mouth is (IE back up the claims they make of their products and willing to let someone in the influencer space film it too). So no, what Ray is doing isn't selling out. What he is doing is more or less asking the company to put their claims to the test and scrutiny of the public eye. Ray wouldn't have said what he did if there wasn't merit to it, and there is a lot of merit to it all over the net. The fact the company wants to take that opportunity to try and right a wrong is at least a step forward on their part. I am looking forward to the vid of Ray seeing their factory and being able to ask the questions face to face.

  15089. Ray, Have you considered getting a riding mower to allow you to “shuttle” vehicles waiting for days , on parts/etc, in and out of the shop? It may help free up a lift at times.

  15090. So now that you have a screaming cop car in the intro to your videos, my hound dogs go nuts over the sirens.. I have to wait for them to calm down before I continue on with the video.. you never disappoint Ray … 😂 Love your videos!!

  15093. What in the holy hell is the issue you people who are complaining about in this perfectly cut and dried situation?? The company contacts Ray asks is this personal? Ray says nope going on the reviews of your product, company ADMITS yep those one you removed were terrible and we happy to admit it. They say we've improved come and see them being made. Ray says OK. Can we send you a set of new ones to install. Ray says sorry customer requested these others we've ordered and got. Company says OK can we give you some to install at some point and Ray says thank you. END OF STORY some people love making up conspiracies. Keep up the good work Ray and well done Diesel Logic for happily admitting the injectors WERE bad.🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

  15128. Those containers are the great indictment against our politicians, who turned us from a producing nation to a consuming nation. We import so much crap that the exporters need to make millions of these containers just to ship the stuff to us. But we export so little that we seldom send the the containers back full of our stuff, and the cost of transporting an empty container is more than it costs to just make a new one in China. You'll know we're on the way back to prosperity when these containers are very hard to buy.

  15181. Toward the end of the video I had an issue with my desktop computer. I had to keep turning the monitor in circles to watch the video. Now I have to go out and buy a new monitor and probably a new computer. I don't want to miss any more of your videos so it will be worth the cost for the new equipment. When I get back I'll try watching the video again. I'm sure everything will be fixed. By the way, I had to buy another "Angry Wrench" The first one I bought only worked with one size nut so I'm buying a couple more for different size openings. There's this little nut on the wrench and I have no idea what it's for. Oh well, just can't figure this new fangled stuff. Everything is a lot different today than in my previous life as a test pilot.

  15184. Looks dirty to me I would change it. But I overmaintain my personal vehicles. Changing cabin Air Filters are alot better than having to blow out the heater core/ evap core. One day because there was no cabin air filter. The first cabin air filter on an Ottawa/Kalmar spotter truck in 2008, before 2008 the heater core/no A.C on those trucks would be clogged in under a year. Conditions at that railyard VERY DUSTY! 2008 was also 1st year of inner and outer Engine air filters ans Donaldsons whole intake system. They would cover a new engine parts and labor if and only if both air filters failed or there intake system failed. The new style air filet was way better than old set up. Before cabin air filters especially on medium size work trucks, semi trucks. Sometimes even getting to heater core/evap core sometimes it was a take the dashboard apart. Buick Roadmaster mid 90s HORRIBLE HEATER CORE LOCARION!!!!!

  15192. These Regen system is a joke and just a waste of money.. I once had a Freightliner go into the shop and 8 months later it was still not regening. Everything brand new.. The company ended up just junking the truck. DEF and the Filters etc are over priced and just another way to get more money. Fuel 4.39 a gal(as of today) and DEF was 4.25 at the pump.

  15208. As mentioned, turn from OFF to RUN 8 times ending in RUN then push any button on each FOB. PATS is a RFID chip in the head of the key. The Remote is separate & uses a battery. That style was basically a FOB fused onto a key.

  15235. I would also suggest to stay the hell away from colleges and universities. Learn a trade, get certified and start earning right away without being hundreds of thousands in debt. Be on your grind and your purpose. Play your cards right and you'll do really fine at the age of 30. Plus, working with your hands as a qualified welder/machinist/mechanic/electrician or whatnot will practically guarantee that society - however effed up it might get - will always have a need for you.

  15236. Since Ray went on a tangent about the months. July and August were added to the calendar in ~45 BC. The calendar was less than correct and they didn't have leap years. In an effort to align the calendar to both lunar cycles and the yearly solar cycle the Julian Calendar was created. Before this, the Romans would occasionally add an 11 month to their year to account for any drift in calendars that were evident. That said Roman politicians would play political games by not declaring the extra month or extending the extra month a longer period of time to either keep people in office for shorter amounts of time or longer amounts of time (their terms of serving as an elected official were measured in years, no matter how long the year was). Julius Caesar redistributed the calendar so that it would be roughly 365.25 days with a leap year every 4 years, and would not have as much drift... which conveniently gave himself extra time in office. Some state this was one of many factors that lead to him being assassinated.... note he was assassinated in the roman senate in 44 BC exactly 1 year after changing the calendar.

  15240. Happy New Year Ray and family. it was good that you “replaced the known failure “.parts. it would have been bad if you replaced the solenoid and the oil sender was leaking bad. yes those tight places stink. great job fixing it up. yes it is important to remove the oil and prevent the oil destroying the rubber! yes I had the drive shaft replaced, not once but twice! the bering was bad on the original, also the replacement went bad in 10 days. at {A1 auto parts on line they list it at $350 ! }at the dealer it was $1200, but I have a truck load of shielding under my car.

  15241. had a coworker who forgot to tighten lug nuts on a jeep wrangler, they came back about an hour later on a tow truck and a really fucked up wheel. nobody was hurt, he got fired but we later hired him back. its the smallest things you can forget that can put peoples lives at risk.

  15247.  @Anubis78250  Nice, I too have 4 vehicles, 14' Buick Enclave, (I know don't get me started, lol actually it's been pretty good and not a lemon) 78' Dodge Ramcharger, 11' Kia Soul I promised Eric the Car Guy I would have that timing belt replaced by the time he comes back, and a 96' Dodge Ram 1500 that I just finished a complete engine overhaul on only to have the transmission finally die. The previous two owners never took care of the truck and I knew it was going and I plan to rebuild it. I myself am a mechanic of 34 years and I enjoy watch vehicle repairs. Ray I a very good and honest mechanic/tech, I've found over the years there is a Black and White areas of the work, things you absolutely shouldn't do, things you absolutely should do, and then a grey area wherein we all do things differently, and I find I'm right on with Ray or he is with me, but then there are something's we differ on and that's okay it's in the grey areas. I like to see if what I think is wrong with the car is right going off video alone lol like a strange Mechanic's mystery novel. Lol, sorry so long but that's just me, and thanks for the reply. Hope this finds you well my YT Friend!

  15264. You did great Ray. Sometimes the low hanging fruit is just as good as the stuff you had to climb the tree for. The inspection is the most important part of any job. It lets the mechanic know what should be done, and the owner know whether the vehicle is worth keeping.

  15278. I've found putting oil on the threads of the filter and filter seal, then going hand tight and then just a little nudge with a band wrench will get that filter installed to what Cat recommends and won't be too difficult to pull off. Band style filter wretches are the way to go in my opinion. Cool video!

  15308. Got terminated at a tire service center. New manager said we are not in the $14.88 oil change business. 6 techs , 2 tire guys. 3 week waiting list for oil changes. I would grab the oil changes . Do them. Write an estimate . Turn it over to the service manager. Grab another oil change. These were customers waiting. New manager fire me for not following his personal policy on no invoices under $100. So he will look better to corporate. The company actually mailed the termination notice home with the exact reason i was fired. Mom opened my mail and had my termination notice framed. It stayed on her wall for years.
    1
  15309. I got fired the week before last. One of the best employees at the place. I single handedly ran the place on some days. My boss came up with a BS excuse as well. I couldn't understand the reasoning for it. I found on Indeed a few days ago they have my job listed again for less money than I started making 2 years ago and expecting the next person to do more work than I was doing. I was spending 50 hours a week there. All corporate politics. I too had other options I have been wanting to pursue so this just speeded up my timetable too. Good luck to you brother! We will prosper one day and they will be the ones to be miserable and struggle through life. I've always been a big believer in the quote "life is too short to work a boring job"

It would only make Ray look bad. I will follow your/Ray's YouTube channel wherever that will lead us, us meaning your subscribers👍. Please do let us/subscribers know As soon as you can I'm sure I'm not the only one that would greatly appreciate it. Keep making videos you are good at that🇺🇸🔥. PS Until you get on Your next path spend as much time with your family as you can.

  15317. 2 People from San Francisco left 1-star reviews at your former repair shop. Both complained about YouTube videos. I would love to see a video of my truck being worked on. There is no better way to ensure integrity, gain trust, and learn than to have the repair recorded. Also, it's weird that both the 1 star reviews are from San Francisco...hmmm. Good luck with your next venture. I just found your channel but I'll continue to watch.

  15327. Well, that sucks. Been there a time or 3. Fired out the blue, Figured it was coming, and and final date a month or so down the road. All sucked. Office politics is undefeated. I will await the notification of where you end up. Whether for someone else or your own place which is a different set of headaches.
    1
  15328. It really depends on what the content of the conversations were about. If it was a disagreement about having morals and transparency with honesty over trying to "over sell" a costumer. You were absolutely 💯 percent right to disagree with option #2! I believe you are a true stand up guy from how you carry yourself on your videos. You seem: grounded, level headed, optimistic, skilled, family man with a splash of spiritual. Ohhh and when you come out of know where with references of songs and movies like "Fridays"! I know you have got to be one cool dude! 😎
    1
  15329. Ray, Sorry for your situation. As far as being your fault, me personally, when I’m being a pain in the a** I’m always the last person in the room to realize it. It took me 40 years to learn that about myself.

  15363. I remember your story about the first time you were fired, when you were a young kid (the oil change). That was hilarious!
    1
  15364. It's definitely time for you to open your own shop.
    1
  15365. At the 8 minute mark you ask for input whether this was your fault or not. I didnt read other answers but here is my take, Anybody who said it was your fault (doubt there were many) was just being cruel. Anybody who said it WASNT your fault is just sucking up because they like you ( you could do worse lol) The truth is I watch all of your videos and think you are a great guy but none of us know enough about the situation to even answer. My GENERAL reaction in situations like this is the vast majority of the time both are wrong to some degree and at the same time nobody is at fault. Disecting what went wrong and whose fault it is is a normal human thing so I suspect you will and already have done some of that. In the end though does it really matter? It is what it is and I LOVE your onward and upward attitude. You are a standup guy as evidenced by you asking people not to dox your ex employee who fired you. I hope that you keep producing your videos in the interim because honestly it is maybe 25% the mechanics work and 75% Ray and his personality that I watch the videos for. I hope your next employer allows you free reign to make your videos because you will surely be missed by those of us that have grown fond of you if not. In the mean time if there is any time for a relaxing break it is after dealing with a hurricane and a stressful job break up. Take a break have some fun with the family and we will see you somewhere down the road. Good luck.

HOWEVER I AM REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING YOU MOVE FORWARD I hope with your own place and in which you can get to do things your own way, which I think you are like me and won’t take shortcuts, I’m do right first time every time, I suspect that you are the same!! God Bless you bro and I wait patiently like others for the next step to come 😊😊😊 Also I hope that your Wife and kids are well and that your family will be behind your in all this I hope you realise that this community that you created is!!!! Chat with Eric O and get advice/help and Ford Bossman too😊😊 Andy In Nottingham UK

  15372. Ray, the problem is that when you are correct about 95% of everything you say and do it begins to offend people around you...... especially when they realize that they are incorrect. You are an extremely smart and level headed guy. You also happen to be quite vocal. The majority of others will eventually begin to resent you for this because it affords them the opportunity to realize how ignorant they themselves actually are. The solution to this is to start being very quite and unspoken but...... please don't stop sharing your intelligence. It would be a disservice to the rest of us who don't get offended.

  15373. I didn't know your channel existed until this video popped up on my Youtube months ago, since then I'm a regular watcher. You do great videos. Any word on how that auto shop is doing without you?

  15376. All a man (or woman) has at the end of the day is their personal principles. To the question of is it me, the answer is probably yes, but that isn’t a knock on you. You won’t compromise on what’s important to you and that’s admirable especially in the face of uncertainty. Clearly your current shop has their priorities messed up if they’ve not only lost you but several of your coworkers. You’re a great mechanic and I can’t wait to see what’s next for you.
    1
  15377. Thanks!

  15378. In a world that is continually lessening the importance of Personal Responsibility, conflict will arise when you refuse to lower your standards...The minuscule amount of what I know about you gives me the impression that you understand the relationship between customer and service provider...I ran into that problem over the years and moved on...Retaining customers has always been more important to me than finding new ones...And you are right; change is constant; otherwise, stagnation...Chinup
    1
  15379. Definitely a WTF moment for us. I feel like we all feel more affected by this than you. You're a great personality, but moreover, an even greater mechanic. We all know you can write your own ticket anywhere you want. I'll echo what others have said. Great opportunity to start your own business. Can't wait to see how your great wife responds. Please take us along for the ride. Can't wait.

  15392. To everyone who commented before me, this was probably 4+ hours work boiled down to a 49 minute video. Diff set ups are complex and there was a lot we did not see, don't assume it was not done. Not sure exactly how U-Tube works but I think the number of comments is helpfull.

  15403. The reason we can't have these trucks anymore has to do with the way the EPA determines what a vehicles fuel economy must be. Starting in 2008, the EPA started using a formula that bases a vehicles expected fuel economy based on the footprint of the vehicle... wheelbase verses width. These trucks get great gas mileage, but cannot fit in the new formula, not good enough... because their wheel track is more in line with an economy car, and the target mPG is in line with a little streamilined car rather than a small truck with the aerodynamics of a brick. if you look at the formula, the problem variable is "X" (literaly the variable x in the formula). For a truck to even fit in this formula, it must get larger, to lower the expected fuel economy. Why even the umbiquitous 1500 series trucks have grown so large. Yes friends, huge pickup trucks are an unintended and direct result of this formula. It needs a specific subsection for trucks so we can make smaller trucks again. It is all explained in the video - Why We Can't Have Small Trucks Anymore - Blame the EPA EDIT: maybe someday hybrid technology can allow small trucks again.....sigh

  15404. Oh we can have them but the government keeps placing regulations on top of regulations. Those little Ranger/Mazdas along with GM's S10 were great every day trucks.

  15407. Word is, the Cafe standards for this class of truck were excessive. The makers decided they could not do it. So they didn't. Standards for heavy trucks were more lenient, no one much drove them except farmers and people carrying heavy loads. So now we drive a bloated monstrosity to church.

  15441. Who cares if the weld is pretty, Does it leak? And will it hold? Those are the only two things that matter on an exhaust under a car. Anyone that cares that much spends too much time on the internet.

  15446. Good day Ray and hi to Dave and new guy

  15447. I really hoped you had done away with the really self indulgent intros to the videos. I don’t know about anyone else, but YES, you drove a Delorian 🙄
    1
  15448. Hahah. You were picking the spot for the second part of the strap and I was literally saying the same thing that you inserted in. No. NO! NOOOO!!! Dear god NOOO!... hahahah!
    1
  15449. Sorry bud I’m going to have to write you up and give you a do better on the welding, if you can’t take the heat don’t weld and get some dam Diablo blades. My sarcastic humor don’t take it personal, it’s a Ferd
    1
  15450. Ok Mr. Ray, I made my comment about welding goggles when you started welding and said "safety squints" now I see you do have a welding helmet!! WOO HOO, please wear it when you are tacking, you don't want to go down the age slippy slide and notice the world starting to dim. I say all this out of concern.

  15466. Nope it’s just a Lariat. The front fenders and bed were replaced by the previous owner due to rust. You can see the pin striping is also missing on the front. I just haven’t had the time or motivation to rebadge the truck at all.

  15467. Oh sure...sure...flip over the paper mat just to make us crazy in the first minute and move on without any comment ! OK, so it was hilarious, but...but... it's just not right. And now, on to vid#2 and I'll be watching you Ray. Great stuff.

  15483. I look forward to all your new videos. I repair aircraft instruments for a living and just for the record we call it a pointer, not a needle , LOL your all good man. I love your channel, I think I've seen every video you've put out in the last 6 months. I guess an under dash, after market, engine gage cluster is in this guys future. And you are just the guy to install it. Looking forward to THAT video. Ok I'm just 2 Jim Beam and cokes into my evening with a foot ball game on tap, so you take care and keep those informative videos coming Ray. Take Care.
    1
  15484. Nice video and you need to watch what you casually say about yourself. If you say I'm getting old, your mind will probably accommodate your words. So try to apply only positive words concerning yourself. ⚡️👊⚡️

  15493. SHOCK!!! Someone designed the brake shoes so that the bearing can come off without removing them also...
    1
  15494.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  Good explanation. Thank you.
    1
  15495. Hi Rainman, would you explain to us how the Torq Sticks work……I think that’s what they are called. Seems like after a while the properties of the steel in the shaft would change properties and the readings would be wayyy off. A tire shop I once used employed the use of Torq Sticks and a couple times after getting my tires rotated I would end up with front wheel shimmy on braking due to warped rotors. I changed shops to one that did not use the Sticks and hand torqued lugs with a torque wrench and I had no more issues.

  15496. @Rainman Ray's Repairs I love it when your partners do the phone thing sometimes :)

  15499. I’ve owned rovers for nearly 25 years. As you stated, rovers are not cheap to maintain. Due to the weight of these vehicles I always replace rotors and pads at the same time.
    1
  15500. 12:46. Sir. sir. sir. that static is unacceptable though! .43?! You are willing to accept that?! Those 0's on the left and right are just rounded to zero. Gotta turn rounding off. then you can get the static down to .10 or so. at my shop, .23 is acceptable. more is not.

  15503. With the inability of businesses to find workers these days an employer would be cutting their own throat if they fire an employee unless it was an extremely serious offense like murder or something, even they're being let go from prison, so yeah you can get away with murder now.

  15504. the angry pliers ! bwaaahahaha haaaaaa lol

  15505. You need to go up front and tell Karin her car is done and LETS GO BRANDON !

  15506. I run a shop I'm happy with your work number one if you didn't have 17 bolts to take out for the skid plates you could probably do it a lot faster if it wasn't a Mercedes you could probably do it a lot faster like hit the gas three times and reset the light instead of having to use the computer to do it tell her if you're able to go by the equipment do it yourself see how much you spend and how long does it take you

    1
  15523. No don't use the pliers... Ha got em.

  15524. You can not make some people happy no matter what you do. Great job sticking to your convictions and doing the job properly. Customer doesn’t know any better and should have planned better. They will not be able to complain about the job because it was done 💯 Maybe they should try another shop to find out what happens when half assed work is done. Someone else might be quicker but at the expense of doing the right thing. My mom always told me “haste makes waste”, I would rather do it right and not rush rather than make a serious mistake which will cost you a lot more time and aggravation Some customers just have unrealistic expectations, better to do it right. Not your problem they didn’t schedule their day properly. I’ve found out most people are great, it’s that 5% you will never satisfy. Not worth killing yourself and doing shoddy work for someone that wants to save 10 minutes to probably get a coffee before work lol Good on you. 😀

  15525. Amen. One of my property tenants in SoCal has an 84 month loan on his record for $850 a month on a auto loan for a $36k vehicle. He must have been super upside down before. I make payments to myself and buy in cash. Besides a numbered CT5-V Blackwing I recently acquired to hold as an investment, I haven’t had a payment since ‘03. I came up $30k short on the Blackwing, but when you’re buying a 6-figure vehicle.

  15527. Ahhhh the Karen. The bane of humanity. There's one here locally (my better half's sister). She's epic and I mean EPIC. Combine a Karen/soccer mom/closet democrat/husband was busted for drugs a year ago and 16 year old daughter still doesn't know where dad is/with over 40 still thinks she's got teenage looks (nope, nope, and NOPE). And she's totaled three cars in 6 years, all her fault. Her life and worth are measured by how many likes she gets on FB posts. Pro get the jab or else and wears face diaper nearly 24/7. Comes screaming into the driveway a couple weeks ago, "MY TIRE LIGHT IS ON FIX IT NOW I HAVE TO GET PRINCESS TO A SCOCCER TOURNAMENT 250 MILES AWAY"! Now I'm retired/disabled vet, but I know above average about cars. Check pressures and adjust, light goes out, shock. Against my will I check her engine oil. GF had whispered in my ear, "Just get her out of here". About two quarts over and she had just come from Express Oil Change. "Looks good to me" and I walk away. I think she sat on the side of the road 190 miles away for about five hours. Do I feel bad? What do you think? Yeah I'm probably going to Hell, I'll save y'all some seats. Sorry for the long post but I feel bad that a good mechanic has to deal with a Karen. So I told the story of the SUPER KAREN.

  15528. Man if you weren't filming there would be no-show simple.
    1
  15529. in a woman's mind if it starts and will move than service is a waste of time. plus she was 99 days behind before you started.
    1
  15530. Thanks for being an honest mechanic that gives a shit! Subscribed!
    1
  15531. I would charge Mercedes Lady, Mercedes Dealer Prices.💲💲💲

  15532. Anyone that says "wouldn't take so long if you weren't filming" has obviously never had a customer come back and said you just fixed my car and you did this to my car...............
    1
  15533. Makes sense. I'm in a huge rush but I'll just stop by and get an oil change because it's already 99 days overdue and I just can't bear to make it 100. Idiot.
    1
  15534. How come you didn’t fill the oil filter before you installed it😂😂?
    1
  15535. Tell her to take it to jiffy....lube..lmfao...Karen's alerts
    1
  15536. Ha ha you got me with the angry pliers on the filter
    1
  15537. I almost shit myself when you put the channel locks on the filter
    1
  15538. 5:30 "I'm filming for training purposes..." xP
    1
  15539. If you weren't filming, how would us kid mechanics know the right way to do it?
    1
  15540. If she wants a 15 min job take it to the 15 min place and get up sold on other servicedp
    1
  15541. The ones that rush you are usually the ones that come back whining you didn't do it right.
    1
  15542. Anyone else move their head out the way when he pulled the drain plug? I hope it was not just me 😂🤣

  15543. You want a record breaking oil change? go down the road to jiffy lube, then come back here when you want it done properly

  15544. By Felicia!

  15545. Need a longer extension
    1
  15546. I would never rush a mechanic. I want my baby serviced right the first time.
    1
  15547. Skip filter, siphon out 2 quarts, add 2 quarts, out the door.....then the customer would be impressed....the car, not so much....
    1
  15548. Your a better man than me. People tell me to hurry up I slow down.
    1
  15549. What to expect from a woman, most have no idea what it's like to service a car. They only care if It takes them from point A to point B. The rest does not matter to them. I would have liked to hear "They should fire me but they won't, BECAUSE I AM THE OWNER" 🤣🤣🤣🤣.
    1
  15550. REEEEEEE Prefill the oil filter xD
    1
  15551. you should have seen my face when you were about to put those pliers on the oil filter housing, oh boy!

  15557. No not a angry pliers I seen a tech do that and it cost us 200
    1
  15558. What's taking so long customer took 3 moths to get an oil change and neglected auto for 2 years
    1
  15559. It's the sound Ned Beatty makes in the movie "Deliverance". At least that's my take on it.
    1
  15560. IMHO you are doing a great job showing off your efficient and right doing on the cars.
    1
  15561. You only click 60% of the fasteners. Highly disappointing for someone who likes all torques to be dead nuts on. Click... click... click... click.

  15562. Why is this video still going??? It should be over by now! ⏲

  15571. some Schmucks are just so clueless with life in general, asking stupid questions like 'how you run a business if you work on your own gear so much'....they think that the videos you post is all the work you do....sigh!

  15572. You need to add some more tools on your listing here. I’ve already ordered all those I need more tools.
    1
  15573. I cut rotors still in my shop just about every other day. Pays more and saves the customer tons of money
    1
  15574. Here in the UK, I've never seen a machine like this, you so tactile with you work, awesome.
    1
  15575. I liked the format. It was very informative as I've never seen rotors turned before.
    1
  15576. Back before everything became disposable.
    1
  15577. That looks like an old Amco lathe.
    1
  15578. The editing was cool. You kept the story running and the content relevant. Along with the humor. Not bad. Keep at it. Also thank you for the recycle on the rotors(not just replace and run) for the client.
    1
  15579. With tech time at $$$ and replacement rotors cheap, this is rarely done now, too bad. Now show us the drum brake shoe radius grinder if you can find it under the dust.
    1
  15580. It's neither over nor under done! Means well done as far as video format and such. I would say its pretty polished. May need some more lighting but that's for the cos! Cheers mate!

  15581. Awesome videos thanks

  15582. Great video always wanted to see how that worked

  15584. Um, I still do this.......but I'm an old geezer. Our resident 32 yr old "kid" was taught to do this 10 yrs ago......so the torch has been passed.
    1
  15585. For your UK followers , what you call rotors we called brake discs just thought I’d let you know as it just grinds my teeth when you call them rotors . Other than that love your channel keep up the good work .
    1
  15586. That because the rotors are at minimum aspects new these days
    1
  15587. Will that rotor lathe do flywheels the way mine does?

The haters and trolls obviously are not "Certified" master mechs. If they are? They werent trained properly. You keep doing You Ray.. why most of us are here to support you. As FBM says... "Be blessed" 😎👍❤️
    1
  15599. 34:35 I honestly am shocked someone would have the gall to dare suggest they'd call CPS. That is bull crap. I've found that's something that angry people like to threaten parents with because they know our kids are out worlds. But seriously, what would they say? The kids are around good, hard working, honest people with solid morals and values? That they might be adjacent to someone doing work rather than just sitting around all day complaining about how life isn't fair? It's not like they're playing on the lifts and unsupervised. Some people need to learn to just mind their own damn business.
    1
  15600. Ray, love the check yo self reference in the video 😂😂
    1
  15601. Ray, you're a mechanic, which means you're also mean to people you like... ergo, being mean to your commenters indicates that you like them!

  15609. My way to check for exhaust noises was to use a stethoscope and replace the tip with a piece of steel brake line so I could listen in those hot areas that are difficult to get into. It's also helpful for finding vacuum leaks and turbocharger pressure leaks.

  15616. There I was thinking you were such a model employee and then you started talking about 'fluid exchanges' while on company time. Your secret is safe with me.🤐

  15618. OMG I love Youtube's algorithm's. One minute Im watching Red Green Handymans Corner and next Youtube suggests I watch Rainman Ray. Ok who am I to argue with an algorithm.

  15624. I suspect that rock at 7:56 may have caused some noise.

  15625. What no shout out to the angry pliers for holding your tie rod end while you were trying to unscrew it and it was spinning I see how it is no appreciation for your tools 😂 PS whenever you twisted that tie rod end to add a bit of tension suck the nut up that's good idea I've never done that I usually just give her a little tappy tappy the press the wedge in just a little bit that usually does it

  15626. Ok that do doodoodoodlydood do do was the funniest so far. I dont know why I love that so much. Lol

  15635. The only thing more difficult for me than collecting money, is firing someone.. I can’t do that either.. I ripped apart and repaired more boilers, HVAC, washing, drying machine phase converter s etc just because I knew the people couldn’t find anyone else to do it. But I learned a lot I guess.. built test lights for every voltage out there lol.. The pay scale in USA is so messed up. As a locomotive tech, we didn’t get paid much at all and we dealt with every high voltage, low voltage, multiplexing, software problem you can think of. But? It was a lot of fun too, pushing your brain to the max.. getting your ass kicked 12 straight hours and figuring it out finally.. Your vids remind me of those times. Especially when checking live data. We had to watch a lot of data as well.
    1
  15636. I completely understand. You do good work and you are nice.. it’s not easy to charge a single mom $100/hr when she needs her Corolla badly… I am the same way. My electrical contracting business did not make much money because electrical work is just so easy to me and I just couldn’t charge much.. Keep up the good troubleshooting. Love your vids.

  15637. dam thats a clean truck underneath. barely any "flavor"

  15638.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  that’s my main problem in my area of expertise.. I enjoy doing it and it’s easy.. so I never know what to charge.. specially when it’s ‘family and friends’ until a friend said that my time wasn’t free and I should charge what it was worth.. that family discounts were ok but not disrespect my abilities.. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Hes a mechanic and my go to guy to call when I’m working on my car lol I learned so much from him.. he would always enjoy our conversations said it was awesome that I understood and could bounce off ideas and actually get it… that’s hard to find in a girl I guess lol

  15647. You can tell you are in Florida because when you loosen the hub it practically fell off. Do that up in the northern states and you are banging on it with a sledge hammer.

  15648. I hear you imitate the telephone, I thumbs up the video! So funny!

  15649. Great job on the fleet account that should get u a bonus 😁

  15650. Idk why but growing up wrenching on trucks and cars was never as fun as watching them, my family mechanic would always let me watch and learn new things, your videos are very entertaining, like ASMR for me.

  15651. No phone, bummer. Still good video. Like listening to your reasoning.

  15657. ALSO you need to get the doodley doodley doos back into the shop
    1
  15658. Also ray I just want to say thank you for actually introducing me to the automotive industry. I didn't have really any idea that I wanted to go in to this until I started watching you for about a year and I learned components. They just names of things And slowly growed my love for wrenching on my own car.
    1
  15659. Watching this video makes it seem like my time in an automotive shop. What's just days ago Doing my first ever break jobs and stuff like that. That was fun now moving on to bigger and heavier equipment.

  15683. If you heat up the area with a ball joint goes and you put the ball joint in a refrigerator you would be able to slip it upward without a problem if you do it quick enough it is a very old way that mechanical engineers use to put in tight-fitting objects into their area.

  15718. I hope it's getting towed to the nearest crusher!
    1
  15719. What gets me is that these people mod these cars out to make them Special then treat the inside like a garbage can.. It's all very pointless. I'm not sure who's commenting and doing all the critiquing that makes you feel like you have to explain the situation you're in cause anyone who knows anything about repairs but there's very little you can do other than what's approved due to liability issues. Sucks but them the facts.. Good video, I just recently found your channel and am enjoying the content immensely..
    1
  15720. I would not want a steering wheel without an airbag.

  15721. Raspy Ray's Repairs😜 Sorry Ray. Having a cold sucks, they seem to take forever to get rid of.
    1
  15722. Should start a gravity counter. 🙃
    1
  15723. Cynical or pragmatic? It's a big difference, the first is negative and the other neutral. I'm hard core pragmatic but people call me pessimistic. But being pragmatic you never get disappointed, it's a neutral state until further notice. 😁
    1
  15724. I caught myself saying clickage a few time this week.
    1
  15725. Ray you always make great videos but this one was horrendous!!! No Brake Clean and music on top of it all!! No more music and more Brake Clean please!!! The old lady said so as well!! Have a great day!!
    1
  15726. "... Why are you such a cynic..."? Everyday for decades you've dealt with questionable automotive engineering, sometimes unreasonable management and especially the public... just a side effect of the job! 😉

  15727. Seems like it was just yesterday you were gloating about sunny Florida, here’s us in the mid-Atlantic sharing the cold!

  15728. Lol this was definitely yesterday morning. My windshield wipers were frozen to my window 🤣 i decided to warm up this truck this morning before work because that ice made me 10 mins late for work.

  15735. This is the first time I ever saw Brake Clean spray used on actual brakes, instead of being used to start a car LOL
    1
  15736. I’m pretty sure the word "cobalt" identifies the car as blue 🤷🏻‍♂️ just saying 😊
    1
  15737. You're already advertising on YouTube (like Pawn Stars), so I don't think you need to advertise on a billboard. But you do you Ray.
    1
  15738. You should invest in some Easyouts. “Not sponsored. Just what I use” 😊
    1
  15739. Just started watching your vids are you related to the guy from south main auto repair he does the same thing like you with the brake cleaner sounds Great vids
    1
  15740. About the billboard... Do you need it? Sorry if that sounded harsh, but it is a really important question. I don't know but it seems you have the yard full of cars that you are working on. I know you've said on video that you just don't have the parking space to take on more jobbs. So do you need to advertise? Unless the answer is yes I'd say you're better off saving the money and use it for something you need. Advertising is complex. Most of the time you don't really make back what it costs so you have to really look at the situation. Personally I think it would look good! There's something really satisfying to see your name in large letters. But that doesn't mean it makes financial sense right now. Besides what would the name be? Ray's Repairs? Rainman Ray's? For a billboard to make a difference it has to tell the viewer just what it is you are advertising. And for these billboards the viewers are drivers who just zip by so it can't be anything too elaborate. For well known brands that's not much of an issue. No one has any doubt as to what to expect if the see the three arches and McDonalds. But if you advertise "Ray's Repairs" in three feet letters people might see it but very few would know what it means. Repairs? Repairs of what? "Ray's Auto Repairs" is better but will still not bring brand recognition. So while I'm not against you getting your shop noticed I still think you have to consider if it will drive more business your way, and if so if the added income covers the cost and if you have the capacity to take on more jobbs.
    1
  15741. Great job ray billboard is a good idea or maybe a hot air balloon 😉😀
    1
  15742. heh 10:21 This is where the chorus of "Like a rock" starts, and a voice over from a dude who smokes WAY too much tells us of the pulling power of the Duramax

  15743. Ray NEW Shirt Idea, Everything's a Hammer with pictures of tools all of which are not hammers, wrench, rachet, prybar etc...

  15744. Maybe too much air pressure as to why the new brake cleaner didn't work properly. Turn down the pressure to about 40psi and everything should be OK.

  15753.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  Yep, I ran into same situation on my 84 F150. Flywheel was already drilled to take the larger clutch I put in. Took bigger bolts also. Anyway, I enjoy the channel!

  15756. The shadow knew "what evil lurked in the hearts of men...." Channel 5 in NYC (among many others) started asking "It's 10 PM.. do you know where your Children are" as the intro to the 10PM news, and still do. And that is, as Paul Harvey would say, "the rest of the story."

  15761. Your just lucky this wasn't the turbocharged engine.
    1
  15762. Ray, your discussion of confidence and the pitfalls of overconfidence despite one's ignorance has been studied. It is called the Dunning-Kruger effect. People who do not have the skills and education to recognize their own incompetence in a subject. Everyone is subject to this effect, because no one can know everything. The old saying "the more I learn the more I realize what I don't know."

  15772. Not in the automotive industry but I do experience this as a firefighter and in EMS we get patients all the time that get upset when you tell them what they think is wrong with them is not what is wrong with them but hey dr Google told them that is what is wrong what do I know

  15778. Looking for a repair shop in the Sarasota area. Pretty sure you have worked on my cars! Didn't even know you had a YouTube channel.
    1
  15779. I know why you got a concrete drill bit because people are idiots and you might need it to remove concrete from the car to effect the repair
    1
  15780. Old saying better to have it not need it then need it not have it- lol- just think how much you will have when you get old....tell your wife dont sell my stuff too cheap.
    1
  15781.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  I appreciate that. As a collector of tools, I know the pain. We could make a good drinking game out of how many times you mentioned tools in odd places were just ones you don't use any more or are old. Make a young kids day and give them a tool box out of the old stuff and declutter. Makes the purge less painful.
    1
  15782. Thanks for sharing your "personal space" with YouTube. I enjoyed it but didn't see any Tub-O-Towels for keeping your tools clean and in good nick. Are you looking for a larger cabinet of a side locker or maybe a hutch to add on?

  15783. opens drawer "yeaa" closes drawer
    1
  15784. With my cantilever toolbox that I carry in my truck, if I can close it properly first time then I've left something out.
    1
  15785. The more i do this crap, the more I realize it takes an INSANE amount of junk to properly do this job. I've got probably 80% of the stuff you have jammed into a box little over half size of yours, gas air compressor, 9K generator, welder, 2 other rollaway boxes with specialized diesel tools & enough taps, dies & drill bits to stock a machine shop, bench grinder, drill press, 20 ton press, porta power set, portable A/C recovery machine, vacuum pump, Freon tanks, regular floor jack, 30 ton air jack, 1" tire gun, 55 gal oil drum & pump, 3 different scan tool sets (one is the old school Snap-On brick 😁) all jammed into the back of a retired U-Haul truck. It weighs about 13K. Of all the trades we have to use the most amount of self-supplied equipment & arguably get paid the least. Pick another trade kids! It has some fun times but overall you spend half your career paying to equip yourself!
    1
  15786. Morning everyone
    1
  15787. Thanks , man , I just used your video to help justify my junk drawers!
    1
  15788. It's really funny how different all your tools are then what we as heavy duty mechanics we only work on semis or bigger at our shop and half inch drive is our normal size ratchet 3/8 barely does anything at 1/4 is for plastics in the cans of the truck our pry bars are up to 5 foot long hammers and sledges are needed for taking tires off can't do them by hand would be nice to be able to use this much smaller tools they are a lot cheaper

  15794. If it hasn't been replaced, it's probably got a cracked manifold. Common issue and possibly the cause of the P0420. They crack along the factory weld. @16:30... Yep. I can hear it now. @16:58... It's a little lower, where the collector meets the cat. That's the broken weld.

  15817. In regards to a statement you made near the end of the video about people not remembering the good: I once took my car in to a tire shop to have 2 tires replaced, because that is all i could afford at the time (car really needed all 4). Came back a few hours later to pick it up and as me the the guy that did the work were walking to my car I noticed that all 4 had been replaced. I looked over at the guy speechless. He told me he likes to treat all his customers like family and that I could come back in and pay for the other 2 tires when I had the money. Took a few weeks but I got the money and went back and paid what I owed. I found out then that the guy who did the work was the manager of the shop. It is the best experience I've ever had at any car service center ever.

  15826. I agree guye like him give all of us a really bad names. I am not as experienced as you which is way if i suspect something is wrong i refer them to someone in that works in that area. If i see something suspicious that was done to the vehicle i record the whole process then show the customer way before i even try to fix anything. I want the customer see what i found then if they give me the okay from that point to fix the issue then once the job is fixed i download the video onto a USB drive and give them the evidence i find in case they choose to proceed with a lawsuit or file a complaint with the BBB. I take pride with my job and things like this really makes it hard for people to trust us.

  15827. Tell you something funny. I went in for a oil change. First he couldn't drive it, cause it's a standard. And after someone else changed the oil. He tells me, I need a new transmission to be automatic??? Needlessly to say. My baby is a Toyota 4Runner with 5 in the floor and 3d gear overdrive. With a new motor at that.

  15835.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  That's how my counterpart manager thinks. I manage a crew of 6 to 14 people overnight stocking grocery shelves. When 4 call in, it puts us behind. My equal day manager thinks the people that did show up should get the work of the four missing coworkers done. If this was true, I wouldn't need the 4 people on the schedule. Right now, I am playing chicken with my salaried managers above us trying to get them to hire more people. I say I need so many people to get the work done to standard. Their computer model says I need less people. I am leaving work undone because we do not have enough people to do it. We are 1/4 truck behind and I am on vacation next 2 weeks. They can either find more workers and hours for the budget or ask me to step down and replace me with someone that can do my job better. My store is normally in the top 10 in sales out of 130 stores in division.

  15842. Ray do the right thing and replace the sub frame. If you just use a longer bolt you would have to drill out the old threads so you can use the right diameter bolt that would fit the bushing in the arm. Can you even get a direct line into the frame to clear the threads out.
    1
  15843. I know your frustration. I've spent countless hours figuring out a "brilliant solution" to a repair problem, only to find out that I mis-calculated something and the whole thing was an epic fail. I have a cache of bolts from McMaster Carr to attest to those failures.

  15844. Get the sub frame your only choice gravity safety Liability

  15845. Hey Ray! I’ve been watching your videos for about a year and this is my first comment. It makes me feel better to see that even a pro like you messes up, once in a while. As a DIYer, it happens to me regularly!
    1
  15846. Thanks Ray for being honest enough to show us your mistake and demonstrate how repairs can go in the real world. For my part you have shown how to deal calmly and professionally with failures like this. I'm 74 and I've learnt a lot from you in that respect. Keep up the good work.

  15850. I thought the internal threaded part looked like it might be an insert. Pull the lower bolt(s) and it might come loose? Failure is NOT trying. You didn't fail, you just haven't finished this job yet. A failure would be throwing ones arms up and yelling I give up!

  15878.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  Agreed, but some viewers sill see it as political. I wasn't accusing you of making a political statements only jokingly point out that some people in YouTube land will see it that way. I'm on your side in this. Why can't people just get along and agree to disagree.
    1
  15879. Wow. I guess you broke the cardinal rule. No political views on YouTube. I'm still subscribed. Being from Canada I don't have a say on issues in the US of A but, unfortunately, we are affected by everything that occurs in the all powerful land of OZ. I wonder what would happen if corporate big money was not allowed in politics. Oh, we don't allow that here. Silly me.

  15880. It is part of the 1st Amendment.....Freedom to voice your opinions, no matter which camp you sleep in, you, as long as you are INSIDE the US, have the right to voice ANY and ALL opinions you have, yes even thoes that the other camps disagree with. Also, why does a Constitutional amendment change from state to state, The Constitution is for EVERYONE, both the citizens and the government officials. BTW, the 14th Amendment makes the individual states follow ALL federal limitations, so why does a right change when you cross a imaginary line that delineates state boundary. Do you lose the 5th amendment, the right to not incriminate yourself, when you cross state lines? Do you lose the right to attend or not attend a religeous gathering? Does the cops in one state have the authority to enter your house without a warrant, and another state prevents that, when its protected by The Constitution? The Constitution needs to be re-read, NOT re-Written. Just my 2 cents!!

  15882. That’s bull. You dident really say anything deep that would piss anyone off. All I heard were facts! If you can’t agree with something that’s stated and not directly attacking said people than they are the problem. Can’t say anything nowadays without someone crying. You did good ray. It felt like a neutral statement to me to come together to fix it or complete chaos. Only two options at the end of the day

  15883. Just a heads up. The unsubscribe issue is running ramped with a lot of channels that has nothing to do with politics or remotely related to each other. YouTube is randomly targeting users. Not sure if it's an AI issue or some other reason/metric.

  15884. I love George Carlin

  15885. Just a heads up, my notifications got switched to none on this channel and i know it wasnt me, so yeah, youtube is acting stupid.

  15886. Both sides don't want the same thing. The left wants to let men in women sports and locker rooms. The left wants sexually explicit books in the class for grade schoolers. The left wants to let children irreversibly change their bodies and not tell the parents. If you don't agree with those idiots, the left will call you racist, xenophobic, transphobic, or privileged. The left wants to shut down speech they don't agree with, and then call the right fascists. Talk about a really dumb group of people. Their idiotic stance on the border, and the green new deal has us were we are now. Biden was adding to the debt at 1 trillion dollars per 100 days. Both sides don't want the same thing, the right wants sanity and normalcy. The left is just dumb and it's showing now more than ever.

PS- No more politics from me- and I am not gonna tell anyone what they should or should not do.... (unless it involves the word "Adorbs"....dang it!) PS- George Carlin was never really THAT intelligent. He was smart enough to get out in front of the people that wanted to hear what he had to say.... Same with George Orwell...)

  15891. Ray I personally don’t disagree with your views at all and I also think that Google and YouTube needs to stay as a social platform. Their terms of service is constantly changing and even my old videos from years ago got taking down. It irritates me greatly that they can constantly do this

  15902. Dude I believe as you do. Live and let live. I am Canadian and find your countries politics quite fascinating, Canadian politics are generally boring. The whole world has been watching this all play out. It kind of has a Soap Opera kind of quality to it. I think every human on this planet would like to see you all learn to play nice or karma is going to bite you all real bad, real real bad. Ray, you were not out of line in what you said nor are you wrong for believing as most do, peace and prosperity. You got my vote buddy. Good luck.

  15903. So much for free speech. Censorship has been so misguided it is sick. I am a Class A and ASE auto tech in Ontario, Canada. I watch your videos as I find them very informative and helpful.

  15907. Hey, didn't see your comments in said video but I respect you having ANY OPINION. That's what this country is about. My opinion is the liberal left leaning Democrat party, which is supposed to be the "tolerance" party is intolerant of anything opposing them. I have seen way more videos/CCTV video of Trump signs being violated, stolen, or destroyed. Example -guy driving a large truck goes out of his way too u-turn to drive over a Trump sign and drove over a 2x4 with nails protecting it. Karma... But that also tells me that the owner of said sign had his sign damaged many times before n was tired of being bullied.
    1
  15908. Ray, I've been a viewer of yours since your channel had 10k subscribers. I watched you deal with hurricanes, getting fired, and more. Your comment that got you flagged is being scrutinized because capitalists own this platform and capitalists do not like when working class people find solidarity with one another and support one another. They need us to be fighting so we keep voting against our own self-interests and don't dare to protest or strike!

  15918. You're 100% correct though, all this division is being deliberately generated. BTW, I did not ever unsubscribe from you, however I discovered upon clicking this video that I was no longer subscribed and had to click that damn thing again, for what it's worth.

  15924. I have to admit I was surprised that there was no destruction after the election. Maybe people realized that she was not what the left wanted you to believe she was. Or they didn't like that she was just stuffed into the vacant slot, without being allowed to pick her.

  15929. Politics is bad for advertisers and social media is have some major issues finding money as all these data centers that we take for granted housing all this aren't cheap on top of paying for content creators. Twitch is having some issues with this as well with the Pro-Palestine vs Pro-Israel camps which are polarized into the two political groups now apparently. Kinda the whole reason why a lot of the blues didn't vote blue this time. Flagging systems being automated or run by third world countries that don't understand the language/context with support systems that are completely out of the loop on how to help exacerbates the issue leaving creators in limbo and uncertainty. Along with their terms and conditions and rules changing on a whim without notice or needing a legal degree to be able to figure out, often leading to favoritism/populist views. Being that these companies are multinational the argument of first amendment rights becomes even that more muddied. I've worked for mega tech companies and major changes to the platform do not get communicated, no one talks about pros and cons, changes just happen one day and you have to adapt to it. Super toxic work environment where you take more time fixing problems others have created than maintaining the business or being creative.

  15950. Ray I have been watching you for years like most of the other viewers I love watching you from the ground up just because your knowledge damn your expertise and then going out on your own but YouTube is no place for politics we are just here to enjoy unless YouTube has politics Channel which I don't know about it but nevertheless you are good and knowledgeable man when it comes to Automotive stuff so let's keep it that way and I will still keep watching❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

  15951. There’s three sides to politics, the far left, the far right and everybody else who all agree on basically the same thing. There is nothing wrong with centrist views, they are the ones with critical thinking skills who can see both sides of an argument. The best thing to do is to keep the channel apolitical and leave politics out of the business because no matter where you stand you’re always going to piss somebody off.

  15952. People need to get over it and get together again. You are doing the right thing. Keep it up!

  15957. Ray you’re completely entitled to your own political beliefs anyway and being from the UK I respect that and completely agree with what you said. Personally the absolute insanity I’ve seen on US YouTube channels over the election especially the aggressive behaviour displayed towards the two parties involved and then towards those voting for either side is unbelievable. As long as it’s down to nothing more than a two party system I can’t see things changing though. Judging by the candidates and their behaviour I don’t think the country will end up in a better place with either 😂 British politics can be mad but omg you guys take it to another level. Checked I’m still subscribed though 👍

  15960. RAY! On another thought, have you seen the Gail Banks MONSTER Duramax engine dyno? The one with the twin turbo supercharged Duramax? He hits 1200 HP after dialing down the supercharger. Interesting results. I strongly suggest watching. That guy really knows what he's doing. Kepp up the god work, sir. Can't wait to see the final results of the Northstar DTS. SLAYER! 🤘

  15964. I just ran across your channel. The first two years building customer base is a scary time when you open your own shop. I like your expansion plans. The best investment for my shop was a 14k four post alignment drive on rack with 7k rolling bridge jacks. With that lift it is quick to get a vehicle on and tires off to preform many tasks versus having to set up arms on a two post lift. I am not sure where you are located, but here in eastern Wyoming I get a large amount of Ford F350 and Dodge 3500 which can be a pain to set up on a two post lift. Don't get me wrong I still use both of my two post lifts for general service and cab offs. I purchased that rack as a rack alignment machine combo. You may be thinking to yourself that is a lot of money, will I see a return out of that? The answer is YES. So many big box service location are just doing oil changes and not checking out the vehicles. Brakes and front ends are not being inspected by the big box service locations. I get a lot of customers that come in and say "Can you check why my tires are wearing? I just got tires and alignment at big box location 3 months ago but my tires are wearing." Most of the big box service stores are just doing a toe and go alignment. Camber and caster was not even touched. Another thing that helped my shop greatly was Having a service advisor at the office. As a tech you can lose so much time answering phones, setting up appointments, finding parts, invoicing customers out, building workorders. If you are not turning wrenches you are not making money. If you have the right workorder platform someone with no automotive experience can adapt quickly to the system, that makes it easier for the service advisor. I would advise not to cheap out on your workorder platform. The cheaper workorder platforms are hard to use and the linking to the parts stores to check inventory in most cases is incorrect. The system I use is linked directly to the parts stores and does not have a third party in the middle. Once the customer approves workorder just click a button on computer and parts store sends their driver and no wasted time on phone calling the parts store. What I have stated worked for me here in eastern Wyoming but your vehicle platform may different where you are located. Use your best judgement. PS Whatever lift you buy DO NOT use the lift bolts provided. Purchase the longest threaded rods for your concrete depth and concrete epoxy them in. Have a good day and keep looking up.

  15965. have you given thought to putting in a wheel alignment rack? As far as the naysayers... screw 'em. Im impressed with what you are doing!

  15975. The GM transmission number 45 in this case represents the maximum gross weight class of the vehicle it is used in. So, 4T45, Front wheel drive 4 speed rated for up to 4500 lbs. 4L60 - Longitudinal (rear wheel drive) 4 speed transmission rated for vehicles of up to 6,000 lbs (aka TH700R4). Et cetera. Of course, as you know the 4L60E was put into way too many cars that exceeded that weight class, but that was the idea when the nomenclature was devised in 1987.

  15978. 21:59 Ray, those Social Security and Medicare funds do not exist now! They were stolen decades ago! Monies that you're paying in taxes to the funds are being sent out to recipients without actually landing into the fund! Our government has been robbing Peter to pay Paul for so long now, that the saying has changed to ROBBING PETER AND SAYING FU TO PAUL!

  15994. I had a customer bring their car into the shop years ago. Said they had just put front brake pads on it and now the brakes were smoking. I got it inside and pulled the wheels off. To my shock they had covered EVERYTHING in Disc Brake Quiet, the old sticky red stuff that comes in the tube you are supposed to put on the back of the pads to stop the pads from vibrating. All over the rotors, pads, calipers, everything was covered in that gunk. Being an honest guy working at an honest shop I just charged them for new pads and rotors, I was able to clean that nonsense off the calipers pretty well. Stuff was all gunked up in the rotor vents, it was pretty bad. Ive seen people drive their cars with grinding brakes so long that the rotor got thin enough for the pads to fall out and the caliper piston to come out so far it leaked brake fluid far too many times as well, but only once the application of an entire case of Disc Brake Quiet to pretty much everything.

  16001. As a certified internet expert, and professional homeowner, my recommendation is fire……looooooots and lots of fire. I believe this fine bit of automotive ingenuity is past its lifetime service interval, and should immediately be cleansed with sweet sweet flame. Personally I prefer copious amounts of Tannerite , but in this case, it’s up to the owner. Might be preventing the next pandemic by burning those cups though, just sayin .

  16032. We have Flexzilla air hoses at work. They are nice because they are very flexable. They do puncture very easily because of how soft the hose is. They also do not hold up to hot stuff like torch or welding slag at all. When they do get damaged repair is pretty s8mple though. Flexzilla also make hose repair couplers and replacement ends. They are a compression type fitting and work very well.

  16039. There is no low speed / high speed fan on these. Both fans run at the same speed as each other all the time. The small one was flat out because the fans were commanded on but large fan wasn't working. Probably had a DTC for the large fan stored in the ECM, P1950 or similar.

  16042. Rather than complain, I’d like to offer some advice on the camera. 1. Check your f-stop settings as this could be impacting your focus and the very narrow depth of field you are seeing. 2. Double-check your shutter speed settings as this can cure the “light” flutter you see with some of the lighting. The new camera seems very cinematic and I look forward to what it brings going forward.
    1
  16043. Please, please, please go back to the old camera.

  16044. Ray, I enjoyed the camera malfunction. You will figure it out over time.

  16100. You should have chamfer the head of the bolts before you welded them. But if you don't do a lot of welding that's not the first thing on your mind. Welding's always a learning experience when it's not something you do all the time.
    1
  16101. Brilliant series of videos which demonstrates your expertise and skill. Some so called mechanics are just grease monkeys, but you Ray are an expert in all things automotive. I bet Eric O would approve too. As a non mechanic I find your depth of knowledge and and wizardry amazing. I watched these all back to back and loved every one. I only have 2 questions that will probably never get answered. 1/ if doing this much work on the Car why not an oil pan gasket change too? 2/ When you made that bolt I thought you would have cut one bolt thread off, then weld it to the other and then run a threading tool down the length. Is it an either or? Just thought it would have cut down the excess grinding. Any answer from anyone welcome. Non mechanic so these questions come from a place of innocence and not criticism. Brilliant set of videos, thank you for sharing Ray. Appreciate it.

  16128. If the rear was causing vibratory action wouldnt that be an out of round drum? And an out of round drum would wear shoes unevenly right? Im in that boat right now.. my shit does the jiggle at high speed braking and none in the wheel. But i just thought if out of round drum than need to replace the shoes with the drum..

  16131. Then something bit me.
    1
  16132. An F550? irrelevant. Don't ever pull out in front of any traffic that you would slow. Not much more pointlessly dangerous. Not much ruder on this planet then to pointlessly slow another vehicle. because it's completely unnecessary and completely avoidable which is what makes it so unexcusable.

  16137. I'm just here for your algorithm

  16138. You always here about rip-off mechanics, so it's interesting to see an example of a fool for a customer. If your engines fails, it's a pain in the ass. If your wheels fail, it's your worst nightmare.

  16139. REEEEEEEEE

  16140. My tool box is a snap on. Made in 🇺🇸
    1
  16141. I'm NOT A MECHANIC, and I have thousands of dollars in SNAP ON TOOLS, but at the end of the day, YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR, if you want to buy CHEAP, that's your choice, I buy TOP OF THE LINE TOOLS because I expect my tools to last. Leave Ray alone, you do you, quit your whining.
    1
  16142.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  Yeah, I kind of understand the point (stolen tools or badly treated). Not really the "cheap stuff" as if cheap stuff does bad job, then it's the image of the workshop (and of the owner) that gets impacted negatively. Let's say that that kind of work seems more like a collaboration than a proper subordinate job. Well, at least I hope you guys there get a fair amount of share from the job you do with your stuff and experience into something that looks more like a "rental place to work that acts as a broker" than a real employer, otherwise I don't get the point not to get your own business (also considering how low the taxes are in the US respect to here).
    1
  16143. I can only reeee at so many things. Tools are not one of them….. but reee anyway :)
    1
  16144. Ray , I used to joke with my wife . I'm not spending my money on drugs and other women . She agreed with me .
    1
  16145. With the vehicles of today you need the tools that you want and are comfortable using.
    1
  16146. One mechanic 'splained it to me as Break a Snapon hand it to the guy in the truck and he hands you a new one. No questions asked. Other guys, hand it to the tool guy and how did you break it? what where you using it for? Oh Sorry thats abuse. Want to buy a new one?
    1
  16147. Ray, it's your money and how you spend it does not need an explanation.(Maybe to your wife, but not us) Snap On tool salesman? The angry pliers disproves that. "Buy these on Amazon" you said. People bitch because they can, not that they need to. Keep up the good work, love the videos....
    1
  16148. So many mechanics end up going broke undercthe debt, and even the franchise holders struggle to make a living, especially when reps from orher franchise parches decide they need more cash and poach customers from other reps. Snap on treat franchise holders like dirt in the UK, a xousin was one for years til couging happened, and the reliavility of his truck became a living hell, and the cost of renewing his franchise just did not come close to earnings. The company suck, and tgeir profit margins are insane, that scan tool will gave cost the company bugger all. I would love to see Snap off go bust, they deserve it, only a mug buys from them Ray
    1
  16149. When these are the tools of your trade, you buy the best you can afford. Snap-On, Mac and some others are super depenable for the long haul and for daily use. I usually buy Craftsman, which are great, but I don't use them daily. I've accrued a fair amount in 70 years. I even buy tools from Harbor Freight if they're something I would use rarely, but it's good enough to get me through a project. These tools are what puts food on the table, and even when you retire, you can pass them down to your kids and grandkids. They're an investment.
    1
  16150. more power to you brother <3 I'm a father of 6 and 95-97% of my money goes to my kids. however when it comes to the things I enjoy, I will only get myself the best. not that it happens often but when it dose, I do it properly :) as always love your work brother <3
    1
  16151. The mechanic that keeps my dump trucks running spends lots. I love the silky smooth feel of the fine tooth ratchets, but alas they don't apply to me. He says you spent what on a new excavator? It depends on your game.
    1
  16152. Amen brother!!
    1
  16153. You do you brother. I don't pay the big bucks for my stuff because I don't make a living with my mechanic tools. I'm a network enginerd and have been doing computers for well over 25 years. My expensive tools are what make me money. My mechanic tools are my hobby tools, I may splurge every now and then on a specialty tool but otherwise, if it doesn't make money I don't spend the cash.
    1
  16154. That’s great advice!!
    1
  16155. Why not buy the best that you want and need snap-on have lifetime warranty
    1
  16156. It is horrible that you have to explain this! I have never understood why people make a big stink about such things! Use what need to make your money brother! Heck with what folks say!
    1
  16157. Tools make you money, we all have our tool preferences. You do you! Keep up the great videos, thanks for what you do
    1
  16158. You are 100% correct. My father bought a set of "Chineseum" metric wrenches. When I inherited all his stuff I actually started using them. A 13mm wrench bent like a pretzel when leaned on. I soon bought a "real" set.
    1
  16159. Your spot on, people forget there’s one hell of a difference between what you want and what you can afford. Your tools are paramount in making you money to feed your family, buy what you want. Me! I only spanner on my motorcycles so run of the mill stuff suits fine. 👍😃
    1
  16160. I personally don't blame you for buying Snap On tools. You use them every day. Don't listen to people who think you're pushing them. I don't own them as I don't need that level of quality. The big box and Harbor Freight are good enough for me. if I used tools in my career, you can bet they would be high end like Snap On. Great video's man!
    1
  16161. Hey Ray . Something i live by . My grandfather told me when i was 5 . " fu€k em if they cant take a joke" . Iv lived by that and took it to mean fu€k the haters .you do you man . J.s astro is one of my favorite tool companies. I own alot of snapon airtools but not box or sockets or wrenches lol.
    1
  16162. You do what you need to do the job correctly. Whatever improves your performance!
    1
  16163. Very well explained , like Ray said start with cheap affordable tools to start making money for yourself instead of working to pay somebody else , well said Ray 👌
    1
  16164. A tax deductible business expense.
    1
  16165. I never got that Impression!!!...Keep it going sir
    1
  16166. If you don't like SnapOn, buy something else. It's his money. I'm a do it your selfer, so in the good old days I was very happy when I bought a Craftsman. But I like tools that feel good and I will never wear out some of the Harbor Freight tools I have. I love my U.S. General tool cart. I think it would hold up well to a pro who takes care of it. He is right, stay out of debt.
    1
  16167. You know Ray, you shouldn't worry about what others think! People are jealous for no reason!!!
    1
  16168. Don't care one way or the other. If a certain brand suits you, and you can afford it, then go for it.
    1
  16169. I have a lot of Snap on tools that I have collected over the years. But the price is out of control. Luckily I bought them in the 80s.
    1
  16170. I bought the Blue point crow feet because I saw them on your channel 🤣 but I believe you should buy what you can afford until you can upgrade
    1
  16171. Well stated! :)
    1
  16172. Makes total sense. I’m just a weekend warrior, I don’t do it to make money, I do it to avoid the shops as much as I can and SAVE money. 80-90% of my collection is HF. I’ve only had a few of their tools go out on me over the last few years (I need to upgrade to an Icon torque wrench). I think the only Snap On tool I own is the little black penlight you can get for $10 at Menard’s, lol!
    1
  16173. no other sound like it as it hits the floor.
    1
  16174. That's okay Ray, My wife's choice of tools are her choice as well 😂😂🤥🐾🐾
    1
  16175. I can honestly say, I've never thought you were a snap on salesman. Multiple time's you've talked about tools and said something to the effect of "this is a snap on, but oyu can get almost the exact tool from amazon for cheaper." That being said, i'm a firm believer of you get what you pay for, and a lot of "off brand" tools are made by the same companies, if you do the research. I think Hart from wal mart is the same manufacture as Ryobi IIRC.
    1
  16176. Agreed
    1
  16177. Buy what you want. I’m a mechanic and I think if I’d lived 250 years ago I would have been a pirate. I have a weakness for shiny things. I do not care who reviews tools for durability. Snap On is the best. And if the truck is good about coming every week then that makes your life easier than having to run to a store to replace broken tools. I also agree with you on the tool box. I’ve got a Mac hanging Side Box a used 35 year old snap on top box and an on sale cheaper version of a Mac Racing bottom box made by Kennedy. The Racing part makes it faster. And and 30 year old Craftsman at the house now. Oh and I did have to buy the brake caliper piston compressor you had on a previous video and I used it last weekend for the first time. Soooo much easier and better than c-clamps. Lol. I had to change my daughters Tiguan turbo out with one I’d gotten from pull a part and I’d cleaned it up and replaced the turbo cartridge and modified the waste gate actuator to be adjustable. I got a big laugh out of you saying the engine light was supposed to be on all the time on audis and VW’s. $300 for brakes and rotors. $325 for transmission fluid change kit. And $275 for turbo swap. And that’s me doing all the work. First VW since a 70’s bug and probably the last.
    1
  16178. You don't have to buy brand new either. Used tools are a great resource, same for boxes.
    1
  16179. Relax man. Everyone knows if you want or need tool advice or recommendations, you look for the animated bear. The cartoon bear knows all.
    1
  16180. The first video of yours I watched you had your snap on cordless ratchet then you pulled out the rigid I was like this guy's just like me with the same tools choices putting his money in the best options for the money!
    1
  16181. My sister buys $250 T-shirts and $4000 purses. If she was a mechanic, I’m sure she would be buying Snap-On tools. I personally can’t pay multiple the price (5-10X+ in the case if Snap-On) for something without feeling someone is taking advantage of me.
    1
  16182. Snap-on Apple of tools

  16183. You go Rainman

  16184. Do these people even watch your videos? Angry pliers (Amazon) that’s all I’m going to say. Keep doing what your doing, I’ll keep watching.
    1
  16185. Well said Rainman, Maybe the young beginners will head your words of wisdom. I bought a lot of Snap On , Mac and Craftsman through the years. The expensive tools have held up very well but so have the Craftsmen tools. But in my early years I didn't have much choice if I wanted some good tools I had to pay the truck every week. I never overloaded my arse though.

  16186. You have become my "shrink" .....After watching and witnessing your calm demeanor and carrying on with all obstacles I can and will be a better person spending time with you

  16192. I can almost predict some idiot will call the cops on you thinking you have an actual assault rifle. Or worse, someone thinking you're a bad guy with a gun might take a few shots at you. Stay safe.

  16198. True to the comment about “if it was mine, I would have procrastinated or not done it at all….” Is the old saying….the some of worst maintained vehicles and most incomplete project cars belong to mechanics. Once they have finished our cars the last thing they have time to do is work on their own. And if they are working on their stuff, then they are not fixing ours nor making money to survive. Sad but true.
    1
  16199. Ray, you are Amazing! If I was doing this, I'd lose it!!! You should find another platform where you show when you lose your shit because we all know you do!!!!!!!!
    1
  16200. It’s heartwarming to hear …. I will miss you when you’re gone! Ray you have no idea how true that will be one day. Nice job, when l work on my stuff l always clean everything as the job progresses, l realize you can’t stop to clean everything but that timing pointer is giving me anxiety
    1
  16201. Don’t like the belt tensioner design for timing belt. Too much room for error. Grenade pin design much better imo.

  16209. Hello Ray, I am commenting on a video that I watched earlier that you made a few months ago. It was about oil and what you were doing in your new Diesel Truck. In my opinion I am one of those people that doesn't believe this whole 15-20k miles between oil changes. I am talking about what oil marketing companies do with synthetic oils. I personally use synthetic oil and I change them at the 5k interval. I am talking about a gas engine car. I have never owned a diesel so I don't know they difference in recommendations for those engines. The setup you mentioned with the dual oil filters sounds interesting and sounds like a great idea. As far as what you should recommend? I would suggest just a good synthetic oil and filter change and recommend they come back in 5k miles. I would think it they want a certain oil used then they can ask for that. I used to work for Honda and then Mitsubishi and they would recommend 7500 miles and I never thought that was a good idea. And this was back in the day where the everyday oil was just the organic oil.

  16236. I am not a Chrysler technician ray, I'm an electronic technician what's an additional associate's degree in automotive servicing. But if there's a magnetic wheel it's undoubtedly got a signal line in those connectors. And those signals should be jumping in sync with each other. Probably a square wave output. I know you haven't got an oscilloscope, but it might be worth trying to figure out a way to get a visual graph of what those signals are. If they're not the same for One bank to the other, there's no way for the variable valve timing there's no way for the system to actually adjust the valve timing. Another thing that I have had some problems with is the actual pens inside of the connectors sometimes when you pull them off you loosen the pins inside the plugs
    1
  16237. I've seen those tone wheels actually move on the camshaft. They are press fit. The guy held the camshaft using the tone wheel and it actyally twisted on the shaft. New camshaft had to be bought. Silly mistakes can cost you.

In the past, I’ve seen and saw on YouTube that changing the trans fluid would clean out the sludge type fluid that makes the trans run correctly.

  16268. You got lucky. A lot of those MitsuChryslers had Mikuni Carbs on them. I successfully rebuilt 6. They had a composite Body and tended to break apart, when you rebuilt them. No one would touch them, but me, for around 50 miles.

  16274.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  OOPs. My mistake. Didn't notice it was thermally isolated. I really enjoy your videos and have learned a lot about newer car systems.. Keep up the good work.
    1
  16275. "I watched YouTube videos BEFORE I worked on it..." That made my day, ROFLMAO!!! Keeping the fuel cap clean is also essential, because most newer cars will throw an engine code, if the cap leaks air...

  16277. Ray . Welcome to the world of servicing skid steers n track loaders and the best tip of advice for you is Do not let " GRAVITY " takeaway your parts lumens n tools and if so , you're going on a treasure hunt .

  16278. you didn't pre fill the oil filter!? lol i'm just kidding.

  16279. Smartest dude, with personality on the market. My personal opinion and fav to watch. Awesome family as well.. great job Ray.... the man!!!!
    1
  16280. Did Ray just screw on an oil filter with a dry gasket?
    1
  16281. Looks like you did everything wrong, other than that your doing great😊

  16284. It is your channel the type of machine would make it pop up on a search same with autos i cant remember how i found your channel but i had to be looking for a how to video now i just watch for the rain man funny stuff and i get satisfaction seeing all kinds of jobs being performed i dont read the critics to often but some people mention other ways of accomplishing tasks if the title say picking cherry's it would pop up when some one serches tree i suppose
    1
  16285. he said in other videos it doesn't matter there is still enough oil on the face to lubricate it as you screw it on
    1
  16286. I'm not sure about skid-steers but new tractors require 50 hr first service. Also, 10,000 ft pounds of troque on oil drain plugs is way to much, they only reqire 9,000 ft pounds of torque........

  16287. The CTL is tracked better for hilly terrane and the wheeled is better for flat surfaces depending on your business needs. ACEA is the standards, the number of viscosity and cleaning qualities. Cleaning out the tracks and belly pan Is a must do as well operator's never do that.

  16288. CK4 is the US oil spec and ACEA E9 is the European spec

  16294. You didn't lose $1200 worth of business. You invested $1200 in your name and goodwill towards customers and that will pay off. When times are good you'll have more work than you can manage. When times are bad your competitors will be asking how you're managing to keep going.

  16296. I have been a technician for 15 years the stupid AC refrigerant sniffer is a worthless machine It constantly gives false reports we have tried 3 different ones at this shop

    1
  16298. Thumbs up for great honest work.
    1
  16299. You are right why repair something thats not broken. It does decrease income on this one visit but it may increase income if customer feels they can trust you and decides to come back.

  16316. Don't know about anyone else, Ray, but I come here to watch/listen to YOU. What you're doing is made interesting because you're doing it. Also I'm keen to see the results of this job and hear how much nicer your truck sounds inside.
    1
  16317. I like video and want know where you ordered shaped insulation materials and how effective those kind do u know
    1
  16318. Not going to lie, it's kind of boring, but I am still watching and pausing when I get up and walk out of the room.
    1
  16319. I did this project on my Miata... Amazing how fast the project snowballs when you start finding all the "Since I'm here already" fixes that come up
    1
  16320. If I were to guess the reason you don’t see a lot of interior resto videos is most people don’t do them on vehicles besides things like classic cars and also the difficulty of videoing inside the interior. When’s the last time you’ve heard of someone replacing their interior? Also if you want to go absolutely all in you could get covers for the seats, not like what you get at Walmart for $50, actually removing the upholstery from the seat.
    1
  16321. Anxious to see the Dirty Max series completed... going to be a sweet project when complete!

  16324. Liked this video ✔️ Subscribed to Arod’s channel ✔️ Looking forward to the live stream whenever it is ✔️

  16325. Ray, I've got a 2004 GMC Sierra 2500 HD Crew Cab SLT. It's got in excess of a half million miles on it, still runs great. I've also got the same issues; worn out carpet, sagging headliner and bad HVAC actuators. Watching you dismantle the interior of your truck has shown me a lot in case I decide to do mine myself. I'm really enjoying watching this project.
    1
  16326. It's like watching a Bob Ross episode Ray . " Little happy piece of insulation lives here maybe . " I like it . If I tore up my vehicle like that my wife would shoot me with one of my own guns .
    1
  16327. 458th! GOOD FRIDAY MORNING THE 13! RAY AND THE WIFE UNIT, ALONG WITH THE TWO NEW EMPLOYEES! Boy has this SNOWBALLED from the headliner project! But I do agree that if you’re going to do interior work, you might as well do it right. Roger in Pierre South Dakota
    1
  16328. Never did a complete interior teardown, nice to see it done. Good Luck getting that headliner back in! Hope you're not driving the truck to ARod's!? P.S. Bring WARM clothes, it already sucks up here.... ~40°
    1
  16329. Just to let you know I found it interesting. When I was younger, I did the same thing to one of my cars. I found it very rewarding. You are doing a very good job. Good luck.
    1
  16330. I wonder if that was rays plan of non plans to go full simple jack on interior or did we have an influence in this. I know I said put sound deadener on the roof

  16337. Hey Ray, I'm really enjoying this series. Great to watch how that kind of insulation is installed. Looking forward to the next installment. Cheers!

  16338. This project makes me feel better about every interior job I have ever started that snowballed into an avalanche... :)

  16346. Great news to see your a prepper and get things IMPORTANT done for your families and your safty Ray..Amazed me at diesel usage on the truck, to compare, can get get a gas usage per how=ur on the generator please ?.. I have always been a bit of a prepper more so living 30 metres from great beaches with history of flooding years ago, plus we are supplied by power lines from overhead poles so something to remember.. I do have more than one generator packed away but since my namesake has hit its time to get them out and check them over "Just In Case" eh..Stay hanging in there ray, and great to see the little one out tearing the grass/ mud up also taking the severity away from her mind..Bless Her..IF DADDY CAN DO IT SO CAN I - lol..Nothing more to say Ray except many thanks for the videos, as we dont always get the personal stories from news media here in good old "Blighty".. Thanks Ray -- IAN -- UK.

  16347. Omg the kiddos singing in the background are the best for this video!

  16348. Love the truck/battery/inverter setup. Got me thinking about disaster planning. Stay safe and sleep when you can. Glad y'all have your house intact.

  16352. So pleased your ok. Living in Devon England, we don't experience duties like you have.I can only imagine what you go through.
    1
  16353. Ray, We are thankful to God for havin His protectin hand on yall's family. Hearin yall's lil girl in the background makes anybodies day hearin her singin without no fear of nothin. And here y'all don't have any electric and y'all been thru a awlful night of storms and yet she sings. What a cheerful way to see another day after a terrible night. Still prayin for yall's family and the Floridians that wasn't so lucky to have what y'all have today. God bless ya!
    1
  16354. Hope with all you receive, it will help rebuild yours, and your communities.
    1
  16355. The most underappreciated people to respond to the hurricanes and storms are the electrical linemen. You couldn't pay me enough to get up around power lines and the water around in the heat and humidity. It's some dangerous work.
    1
  16356. Glad everything worked out for you and your family. We live about 80 miles north of you and barely had any rain or wind. Back in the 90s, we lived in South Florida when Hurricane Andrew came through - Cat-5. That was really bad also. Good luck - this too shall pass.
    1
  16357. So glad you and your family are ok. That’s the most important thing. Everything else is 2nd.

  16358. Omfg you actually did give us the hours on the farm truck I'm DED

  16360. I purchased a 2000 watt generator that runs on propane connected to a 500 gallon tank and it powers everything I need to run so I don't ever worry about running out of fuel. It got me through the last ice storm here when I was out of power for eleven days.
    1
  16361. At least you and your family are safe
    1
  16362. Ray I can promise you my fellow Walmart drivers are on our way too! I am very glad to see that you and your family were able to make it through safe and sound!
    1
  16363. Ray, I watched all of your videos about the hurricane (for everyone who DOES NOT know, Ray has secondary YouTube channell Rainman Ray Out of the Shop, Bonus Videos & Extras 🙂) and I am glad you all got through it. Stuff will be repaired, people will be in not so good mood, worriying, ... but you are alive and tired and everything, just listen girl sing... just find positiveness how ever you can fin it in all of it, bellive me life is ittle easyer, bellive me, my health does not serve me right but still positive 😀 (with little of negativity in the mix but screw it, it is what it is). Anyway I am glad you all are okay Ray 👍👍
    1
  16364. Considering the decimation that occurred in Fort Meyers...as everyone else pointed out, you are blessed. I was brought to tears when I heard your daughter singing Baa-baa Black Sheep; it was my first song I played on my violin when I was 5 so, it brought back sweet memories. Plus it was a cheerful reminder of the resiliency and hope we see in children when everything around us may seem futile- at least until we pick ourselves up, dust off the britches and seize the day! Carpe Diem!😀 If there is anything a nutmegger from Connecticut can do or offer to make you and you family's current condition better, please let me know.
    1
  16365. Great job managing your resources Ray. All your preparations you did prestorm are paying off now. On the humorous side, I can't believe how calm and relaxed your chickens are as you work around them on the porch! Maybe we can learn something from them when times are tough and stress is high, be like a chicken! Lol

  16366. Who said you can't have background music at least she nailed it!

They are helping me now even more to keep my mind from thinking too much. Get some rest. Again thank you.
    1
  16373. Glad to see that you and your family weathered the storm okay. You can credit a good bit of that to the prep work you did before the storm. Good idea you had to use the truck to power the inverters. You can't beat a diesel when it comes to low RPM fuel consumption.
    1
  16374. Saw a whole line Of Oklahoma Gas and Electric trucks and Energy trucks headed your way. God Bless Ray so glad your family is safe.

  16377. Everything’s alright with you Ray ? !!!😢😢😢. I remember in late 80’s , it wipe out in Homestead. Peoples fighting for fuel and foods for 3 weeks . Be careful down there . When Hurricane come , peoples become a creature than being humans help one another . Fighting and pull guns out , be careful not let kids playing in water . When power line down , in S Florida is best to have Diesel generator for it . Too many peoples used gasoline fuel too much . Diesel run and run for 3 days none stop , gasoline generator you have to shut off every 22 hrs

I replaced the schrader valves per your examples, vacuumed the system down, made sure it held vacuum and then charged system. Its been going strong all summer.

    1
  16442. I think, the previous visit did not yield a repair, but a check of an intermittent condition. Now the data reveals his evidence of less than normal operating temp. He has a sound reason to suspect the thermostat. That's a .6 hr job. 18 minutes to get it apart. 18 minutes to put it together, fill and reevaluate? No, there's the cooling system diagnosis and evaluation time before and after. This adds an hour, that is, in a shop that sticks to the labor manual. It includes time for all the checks, including verifying the operation of the engine cooking fan. The complaint was about climate control issues. He could also get time to evaluate the a/c operation and note it values and compare to the customers concerns, but he knows the thermostat out of range, ( intermittent sticking or stuck open) can cause the issues. The computer is in a limited strategy. This saves time and costs the customer less. Let the vehicle normalize and complete its drive cycle. It will probably be ok. He is my hero today. Kudos to him.

  16471. I saw that Eric O. had flashlight gravity in Part II of his Chevy transmission replacement this week. He wondered how many times the flashlights could hit the ground before they died.

  16478. Lol, I was just thinking "that's a 2 man job" as you said it.
    1
  16479. Ray, do you know how to bleed those brakes by yourself? All you need is a piece of hose and a empty coke bottle. Or a jar or pepsi bottle or any bottle of your choice. While I'm typing by far the best penetrating oil you can get is homemade. A 50/50 mixture of ATF and Acetone. This was proved by a big machine shop in England.

  16482. I wish drum brakes came apart like that up here in Michigan. Up here, that thing would have needed drums due to having to beat them off the car, the short metal lines between the cylinder and flex hose because they would have twisted off, and likely flex lines because the end at the short metal line would have rusted apart. Lol Congrats on the new shop!

  16489. Eric O’s lights don’t fall because of rust since he lives in the rust belt. You, on the other hand, live closer to the Equator and hence a stronger gravitational pull. Logical physics.
    1
  16490. Fluorescent lights can be real finicky, and there are so many types/wiring schemes to consider. Some actually open the power circuit when either bulb is removed. I think having bad bulbs in for too long ruins the ballast. I have sworn off repairing them after I used up the last of my parts. Best of luck to you in your new place! You have interesting neighbors!

  16520. Man some people have no brains 🧠 Driving at night with his high beams on 🤦‍♂️ he don’t even know he’s blinding them. And it’s not legal to do. There’s a certain footage where you need turn them to low. Holy cow you can’t make up how stupid people are. 🤦‍♂️
    1
  16521. WOW, after reading the comments how can you live with your self doing every thing wrong ?? @Rainman Ray's Repair
    1
  16522. I wear gloves 8 hours a day. Protection is for me, not the car. I refuse to touch the steering wheel (or any part of it) of any car after the customer picks their nose or sneezes, vomits,hacks up chews tobacco, etc on it.
    1
  16523. I'd flash my lights if some idiot was driving around with high beams on.
    1
  16524. Look at 12:56 he literally reads out the engine oil the car uses
    1
  16525. The owner of that Camaro is rougher than a night in jail.

  16526. Sour customer, sour money, not worth the extra effort besides doing what he asked and making sure he doesnt do extra damage to the car or say you caused a no start condition. CYA service at the MAX. GJ RAY
    1
  16527. I Work in a shop all the time wear the same gloves and Well he is right they do not spread dirt or oil they are made to repel and if he is like me I constantly have a shop towel in my hand out of doing it all the time cause I cannot stand my hands getting full of oil so out of being used to wiping my hands all the time it does not matter if I have gloves on or not I wipe them and not even realize it.
    1
  16528.  @jesse584  understand that new oils and synthetics like that 5w 30 flow too fast for ur dry start to cause any damage. That is how every mechanic is trained to do their work. They aren't going to waste 5 minutes to try to fill the oil filter up when they know that in reality, the wear and tear from that is non existent. Sure, the oil pressure pump might get worn down, right? Wrong. Still slight amount of oil in the pump so the 3 seconds it runs dry, the only thing you might notice is the noise since it's not submerged in oil. Now that's only if the oil is full. Which it is. Now, I do agree that even the crappies of cars should be treated well by mechanics, but, he did nothing here to actually damage the vehicle. Let me know where the video is that the customer complained about swirl marks from paper, ill watch it. And the mechanic may not get those labor rates. The shop does. Now is the mechanic going to follow a sterile environment procedure at your request? No. If the car is in the same condition it was in, then no problemo. When had this YouTube ever done the glove thing differently? Idk but im assuming yall see it all the time. Never has told us about a customer touching a greasy steering wheel. Seems like you need to reup on your backyard knowledge, specifically when you mentiond a dry start. And yes I do know what I'm talking about so test me I dare you lol. For the record, if I did see any neglect I would totally agree but everyone is being too over the top because they get to actually see the work and are micromanaging a full time ASE Certified mechanic. Those tests aren't easy and you have to retake them every 2 to 5 years, and they are expensive. Not only that, a shop is responsible for the work done to your car 12 months or 12,000 miles so if there was a mistake made, which there wasn't, they would eat that charge. I know this from personal experience.

  16529. I had a friend that always runs at night with his high beams on. I was riding with him one time and just mentioned it to him and he said oh yeah no I always use high beams. I told him hes fucking stupid and never were going to ride with him again. Lost a friend that day

  16530. Na man you are doing good, i can understand been in your position "should have been an astronot😂"
    1
  16531. People are suspect because they have no fucking clue about what you are doing but since they can't or won't do it themselves their outlet is to suspect you of trying to screw them over.
    1
  16532. Everyone complaining about how you do business. I hope they fix their own vehicles and do their own oil changes.🤣

  16533. Great job taking care of the cars. I will love you to work on my car anytime.

  16534. I hope you were wearing rubber gloves when you were banging her Tahoe

  16540. Very right about the gloves, im a mechanic and have had customers ask about my dirty gloves and I showed them that nothing come off
    1
  16541. Ray, don't worry about the idiots in the comment section, I would let you work on my car any time. Regardless of what the issue was. Granted, I like to do my own maintenance, but if the problem needed an expert mechanic, I would feel 125% safe trusting my vehicle to you and your expertise. Dirty gloves or not, and I'm pretty anal about keeping my car clean. Fuck 'em.
    1
  16542. Holy shit everywhere you look there is an issue…. I love it when i tell the customer and they seem to have no idea. But yah for some reason customers love to come out the gate with “it didnt do that before i came here”. Just document everything!
    1
  16543. Man I get why some people are cautious with mechanics. But it goes the other way as you’ve just shown. Some people are looking to blame the tech for their shit. We all know the guy was full of shit when he said he’s never had a problem starting it. As far as the headlights... loss for words.
    1
  16544. Don't worry about anything what people say buddy you do what you feel in your heart you need to do a lot of people don't have jobs so they find something to fuss at keep up the good work

  16545. I guess mechanics need body cams too? might be a good idea.

  16551. That spare tire seems to be missing something.
    1
  16552. Haters be haters, can't fix that. But " ...$100 says you’d have a cow if a Dr wore dirty gloves to examine you" I assume you mean a physician; you're correct and that would be the last time I saw that physician. To be clear: mechanics are not doctors, they fix and repair vehicles that are inherently dirty and filthy. Just the nature of cars/trucks. And mechanics use stuff that may be very unhealthy to use bare hands. Which also brings up what about mechanics who use bare hands? The more I think about it the less I want to post this comment: y'all wouldn't learn nothing.
    1
  16553. So this is why these jackasses blind me on the road at night!!! 😡 I turn MY highbeams on until they turn theirs off and make the joke that they’re so stupid they drive with highbeams on because “durrr hurrr! I can see better when I push the thingy down!” and it’s actually true!!! They drive with highbeams on because they simply think it’s a thingy that makes ‘em see better… holy shit. WHY are we not millionaires Ray?

  16558. Lol you said this my nice one I don’t wanna give that away
    1
  16559. Don't take it too heart most people have the intelligence of a nat those gloves are fine they won't leave any mark smear or smudge however your bear skin will I'm sure you know that you are one of very few service technicians i would trust with my vehicle's
    1
  16560. I would love to have you work on my truck. Not weld but then again you are not a welder... As far as shop left overs I think the thing I like the least is there is always a particular odor left behind I think it is gear oil odor that mechanics get unwillingly bathed in constantly like it and exhaust or tires combines to this odor that is just unpleasant and it takes a few days to dissipate. But this is not something that can be helped unless you are a white glove dealership for the Audi and after every time it goes in they go to detail after. But I can only imagine the cost of that shop vs normie shops.

  16561. I bet the driver thinks he has the fastest car in the world.

  16563. Not gonna be too long before we have to start wearing body cameras like the cops do because of some shitty customers out there

  16564. Just makes ya f'n sick don't it? A pure bred moron and driving around in a car like that! ""Thought something was wrong with his lights"" And just think, There's millions of those 'wet spots' driving around on our roads!

  16568. Dude crashes at the next intersection.

  16569.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  we don't know that. I believe in you, you sound like honest and genuine person. I wish I knew where your shop was cause I'd rather you work on my car than anybody I know including me. You can see the fear in crooked people tho?
    1
  16570. that high beam thing. current generation is clueless. we are so screwed.
    1
  16571. Perhaps he should have bought a Toyota Corolla instead of a Camaro if you can't afford a battery clamp. A Camaro is going to be a high cost car. Wonder why he had been messing with the battery. I would have told the customer to come and get the car and not fixed the battery or changed the oil.
    1
  16572. I think your battery fix was fucking clever. Fuck what people are chastising you about. You are a talented and honest mechanic
    1
  16573. Ray you don't prime the filter! Reeeeeeeeeeeee! (chuckle) I enjoy your video and love your work!

  16574. You're 1 of the few people I'd let touch my car.

  16578. 16:30... Haha, and when I was dealing with customer service in retail and I had yellow stained gloves they always bitched about how my gloves always looked filthy, and wanted me to swap them out... Well now that I no longer work for them, only now do I get evidence to prove that bullshit is bullshit. XD
    1
  16579. Sounds like dude needs to own a Chevy Cruze instead of a Chevy Camaro.
    1
  16580. Lmfao 🤣 pretty sure people flashing their high beams back because you're blinding the other drivers
    1
  16581. You didn't hit the horn before you left your bay that's more of a concern than wearing your gloves in the car
    1
  16582. :D Another Family Guy fan :D Giggidy
    1
  16583.  @frbrbrgrblgrr7777  I've worked in shops and done it myself. It's not bullshit. That oil gun he was using shoots one type of oil which is usually conventional(not synthetic) 5w-30 or 5w20. The only specialty oils they have are lower viscosities for newer cars which they usually have to manually pump from an oil barrel because it's rarely used.
    1
  16584. Oh my god. 11:44 I literally just came from the Subaru video where you taught Troy about proper innuendo usage. And then seeing this video again!! “Time to fill her up after I let her down” 😂😂
    1
  16585. I should have been an astronaut😂😂😂
    1
  16586. PRETTY OBVIOUS YOU ARE A SUB PAR MECHANIC....THATS WHY YOU ARE AT A NOTHING SHOP DOING OIL CHANGES.
    1
  16587. That trunk tells you the entire story of the owner. A jar of pennies because they are always broke. A gas can because they're too irresponsible to put gas in their car without running out first. A tire that undoubtedly has a hole in it but they keep it because, reasons. And the battery that was clearly installed by the owner. Who, coincidentally doesn't have the money to fix it. Shocker
    1
  16588. what is the point in buying a car like that if you are just going to run it into the ground? he may as well just buy a shitbox that barely runs if he wants to kill something.
    1
  16589. Your voice and tone are completely different from what they are today. i started watching you just as you left the soul-sucking job. What a difference getting your spirit back makes.

  16590. Eric O has an UggaDugga called Big Nasty
    1
  16591. Eric O of SMA coined that term for a Titan air hammer that he loves. that is where Torque Test got the name.
    1
  16592. Hope you had fun at TIA.
    1
  16593. Big Nast is what Eric O calls his Astro air hammer. That is why Torque Test called it Big Nasty.
    1
  16594. haha i watched that same video the other day from them!
    1
  16595. Big nasty? I'm sure Eric O. would not care =) I understand your frustration because that happens to me in the IT industry. You've probably heard it before but when I find a situation similar to yours I normally inform my leadership using the following update: I'll gladly give you my opinion because there are no sweeter words than "I told you so". They understand me =) Oh...and welcome to the Tampa International Parking garage... I know it well been there dozens of times for work travel.
    1
  16596. Huh imagine that. But It’s also ironic. the clock in the beginning of the video said 10:54 and the video ended at 10:54. 😂 Huh imagine that.

  16597. When the video isn’t 40-50 minutes long I have convolutions 😂😂😂😂

    1
  16634. I'm surprised how unfriendly fluid services on modern fords are like that differential, PT. It's like they want you to destroy expensive components along with extended /lifetime fluids (non severe service). Car manufacturers are not friends of people who expect a long life out of vehicles.

  16635. LS rule of thumb...don't look at cam bearings...😂

  16641. Ha, ha! But, good sir, you don’t realize that the viewing audience tricked you into tricking them into an oil change video! 😏
    1
  16642. Great job again. Great video
    1
  16643. You must have heard me coaching... "Ray, twist those wires a bit more..." You did. "Ray, use your pick-ups to get that socket..." You did me one better with the magnet fishing. "Ray, don't forget to recharge the system..." You did.

  16644. The Shadow??? Lemme guess; Ray's Grandpa was a huge fan back in the day and would tell stories of how the Shadow was awesome before Batman was ever invented... (Who knows? WHO KNOWS??? NOBODY KNOWS, ONLY THE SHADOW KNOWS!!!)

  16647. April 1st is the real start to the new year. I guess I'm an April Fool for thinking so.
    1
  16648. Aye, Ray. I was thinking I haven’t seen a Ray video in a bit, and when I looked I was unsubscribed from you. Get a hold of YouTube and tell them to stop fucking with your subscribers, it’s a dick move to do that. I’ve left this message on all the channels this happened and sent YouTube an email myself. I guess we’ll see.
    1
  16649. I always watch till the end. Great job

  16650. After a mistake....your remember . It is call learning. Its life too .

  16654. Worked at Uh-Oh Zone for a year, and if I had dollar for every U-joint I've had returned...
    1
  16655. YouTube comes installed on most TVs now. Those TV apps don’t have a comments section like a PC or a phone. When you post links to say part 2, they can’t be accessed on TV. Better if you posted part 2 as it’s own video. I had to resort to PC to see part 2 and post this comment. That my prob, so just FYI, in case you were not aware not everyone can access comments and links.

  16659. So for my first youtuber that I have actually been unsubscribed but not of my own doing i was watching this video had to do something and when I came back I had to look up ray's YouTube channel again to find out it says I'm not subscribed and I know I am. Might want to remind people to check and make sure they are still subscribed.

  16660. When I was a tech In the dealership environment I always loved using BG services. Especially on GDI engines at 15k miles. Hyundais had to have it

  16672. Why don't you ever pre-fill the oil filter? I've talked to multiple master techs that always recommend this.

  16673. 😊😊😊😊
    1
  16674. Are you saying you want to talk to me about my vehicle's extended warranty?
    1
  16675. hello I trying trying to reach you. would u like to extend your car warranty.
    1
  16676. Pre purchase inspection by third party
    1
  16677. Ray, I love your content. But I have to disagree to a point. I sold cars for 7 1/2 years. Never did I sell a car that I knew needed repair without disclosing it. I never pushed an extended warranty. I did push GAP. Because any car depreciates horrendously when you drive it off the lot. Now I am not saying this doesn’t happen. There are some crooked dealerships. But I can honestly say that the one I worked at was not dishonest. Disclaimer: I sold cars. I have been out of the business for 16 years.

  16678. Rays speech should be mandatory for high school graduating. students 👍

  16679. Hello Ray, I see you are driving on University Parkway in Sarasota. I go that way to the Sarasota Airport. I agree that those warranties are a scam for sure. Flying out 6/16/24 to Nashville. Going back for the summer to KY Lake, as always. I would love to come see you at your shop when I get back in December. Have a great summer.

  16681. nothing like exposing the practices by car dealership. Of course its okay for them to screw you but not okay for you to find out

  16701. Hi. I’m new to this channel and I just watched this video. This used to happen to my 2004 Dodge RAM 1500 5.7L. I “fixed” it by not fueling it past when the fuel nozzle clicks off, if that makes sense. I used to fill the tank as much as possible but when I stopped doing that, my truck stopped stalling. 🤷🏽‍♂️

  16710. Hi Ray. I saw Big Clive review an inexpensive brass tool with which you can replace the schrader valve on a charged system without any loss of gas. Just do a search for "Valve Core Remover Installer Tool". Big Clive's youtube video is titled "very cool tool".
    1
  16711. I’m sure you know this but adding some foam to the drain pan prevents splash, cool trick

  16733. Funny how our grandparents ate eggs and bacon and toast and everything supposedly bad for you yet they lived to 90 and older and strong as oxen! Where as we are dying at around 50 to 60 yrs old! No our grandparents eat real food not all the processed crap we get now.
    1
  16734. Danke!
    1
  16735. Great video Ray, Just watched Ford Boss Me video on your history. Oldie but a goodie. Side note: I hear some of the best music in the background of your video's. Hoobastank the reason while working on your breaks. You stay safe out there young man ;-)

  16736. An old saying.... Buy cheap, buy twice

  16737. Hey Ray you are wrong. My 1984 Subaru had actuated calipers on the front. Parking brake was on the front wheels! Crazy but true.
    1
  16738. Another great video Ray I like you’re in depth of the work you are doing and the amazing photography well done keep the videos coming
    1
  16739. I thought it also, but he does very well one handed and he does set up the camera in a good position when he needs two hands. So I would say the more options the better, but he's doing better than many others on YouTube with filming

  16743. The only recommendation I ever took from Scotty Kilmer was to use Akebono brake pads. I found them to be wider than the oem. The went to the outside edge of the rotor.

  16747. the wide angle on the side with the little honda moving around in the shop makes the shop look huge, then your rig goes in there and it looks like a shoe box lol

  16748. WIX oil filter, high quality. Nice.

  16749. Big Clive YT channel did a review of a tool that allows changing a Schrader valve without draining the system or losing coolant.
    1
  16750. Show off! Trying to put the oil in without a funnel 😄
    1
  16751. never assume because it's new, it can not be bad..... especially o-rings.

  16752. You need to get the doo-dee-lee -doos... it makes the videos more funny. In fact, get a incoming call soundtrack of you saying it over a speaker!?

  16753. YEA green sub

  16754. Ray, I suspect the valve seat in the low side service port is either scarred or has some trash in it. (darn, here I was typing away and you hit the problem before I could finish 🤣)

  16768. Just used your link to amsoil to get oil for my 2 cars next oil change!
    1
  16769. Ray I was watching an older video. You were calling fabric tape or cloth tape friction tape. Wrong!?!?!?!?!. Friction tape is the stuff that generally has some kind of divider between the wraps. It sticks to itself by stretching it. Thus the term friction was born
    1
  16770. No,no,no. You got it wrong. If you’re a stealership, you never diagnose using facts of detection. You automatically allow the upselling service writer to sell a $4,500.00 complete air conditioning system before ever recommending lesser repairs.
    1
  16771. Here for the comment battles 🍿👀
    1
  16772. correction: you gave the finger to about 1.8 million people :D

  16774. I don't know how the hell I stumbled on this video, but i'm glad I did. That was really fun to watch! Thanks Rainman!

  16775. So I will subscribe at the first time I saw you.
    1
  16776. I still have my beam torque wrench from the 1970s

  16777. Gave the finger to 200k? Try 5million!

  16778. Hey, noticed a big reduction in porn. Thanks everyone for reporting it.
    1
  16779. I can’t believe you bent that backing plate ,and then gave me the finger, just kidding great video I would’ve done the same , Great video
    1
  16780. Is that actually a Kmart torque wrench at 31:40? How old is that thing? Kmart was bought out by Sears in the early 2000's and started selling Craftsman tools. Even then, I like to see a pro mechanic using something that was most likely sold for occasional shade-tree mechanic work, and it's occupying the same toolbox as your snap-on stuff!
    1
  16781. I just found your channel. But you smart talking bolts and nuts and engine mounts and your humor is hilarious! So def a subscribe from me. Greets from a mechanic from the Netherlands.
    1
  16782. Great job , I am now a subscriber.
    1
  16783. Oooooooohhh!!!!!!!! You torqued that Toyota at 90ftlb!!!!! FAIL! Toyota cars are all 80ftlb studs are all stretched beyond yield point. Wheels gonna fall off now Haha. I actually started laughing when you said 90ftlb immediately after worrying comentors were gonna freak you were using an impact (with a torque stick preventing over torque) to put on the wheel lol. love your vids my fellow mechanic.
    1
  16784. I call this righteous. No offense taken.
    1
  16785. Definitely clicked on it become of the title of the video, but couldn't stop watching due to the fact you kept me interested. Love it!!!

  16786. My wife asked me why I was watching this video... I had no answer... but I'm glad I did.

  16789. loved the ending lol. Closing with the ugly spark plugs made up for losing the rest of the video ;)

  16791. that old school needle torque wrench. love it.

  16792. well .. i tried my best.. didn't work out xD
    1
  16793. 17:22 middle finger has the most press force at tension.
    1
  16794. You actually gave the finger to close to 500k people.
    1
  16795. When he was doing the middle finger, I didn't even realize it, until he said he was giving the middle finger, so I rewinded the video, and saw him giving the middle finger, and I laughed 😄.
    1
  16796. On the subject of the finger. Don't you know that the bird is the word.
    1
  16797. Dont you wish you could get 10 of those a week?
    1
  16798. Thanks!

  16799. 95% of the time the labor guide is correct, but the lower control arms on the toyota camry is way off. I charge 3 hours to replace both on those.

  16805. I DID need that wrench the first time I changed the oil on my Cub Cadet. I do not know how they could have gotten that filter on so tight, my regular wrench took me about an hour to get that damned thing off, and the filter was so collapsed and beat up at one point I wondered if it was going to have to go to a shop and get cut off the machine. I could have stood on that wrench with my body weight and not moved it. WHY? Just why do they do that? Why would they tighten a filter on so hard that it becomes part of the engine block?
    1
  16806. I know it's a robot welding and all but in all my years of welding and my professional experience it did it completely wrong. The heat was wrong. The pace was wrong. The wire speed was wrong. The metal they used was wrong. I have about 17 certifications. Ask me anything.
    1
  16807. I've been forced to go too long without my ASMR clickage.
    1
  16808. Cool filter wrenches. Can't wait to see the videos start flowing in from your new shop! Enjoy SEMA!
    1
  16809. Ray with his own shop!! How cool and amazing is that?
    1
  16810. Realizing we are nerds gushing over oil filter wrenches 😅
    1
  16811. Good luck with the new shop!!! I wish I lived near you, I'm gonna be 70 soon and I just know that one day I won't be able to wrench on my cars. Very scary thought. Is Peter gonna work with you in the future?
    1
  16812. First

  16818. You don't "need" some of that stuff Ray, just be honest and say you want some all of that stuff. 🖖
    1
  16819. If I haven't said it recently, I'll say it again, Wahoo! Yeah, I watch YouTube and not TV and 3R is the best automobile and truck repair and info on the planet. I buy only K&N for my GLI 1.8T just because of the 1" emboss on the end of the filter. That makes the oil change easier for me at my age. LOL. Glad your tool has thought of that. I got the wife interested in this channel now. Back in the day she had a Mustang and I had the Chevelle, that's how we met! Great job at SEMA in Vegas!!!

  16820. I used to weld to that quality. Been a long time though.

  16825. Your new shop looks nice, looks like a couple lifts in there, that will be handy to have more than one. Looks like you need some work benches built in, or at least so more horizontal spaces!

  16826. Glad u are having a good time ray

  16827. Oil filters drive me nuts. Why couldn't they keep them all the same size/shape like they USED to be? I hate having to use a strap wrench or have fifty eight thousand different size filter wrenches!

  16830. I know from experience... it hurts when your nuts swell
    1
  16831. Yes it is a dodge thing 🤣. In the last 10 years I have owned 3 caravans and 3 Rams, all with those dumbass lugnuts. I replaced them with color matching nuts as soon as I purchased my 2017 Sublime Green Ram

  16832. "It's a Dodge thing, they earned it.". Oh shit lol 😂😂😂😂😂😆😆🤣🤣🤣🤣
    1
  16833.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  I dont deal with this issue often enough to justify a special socket , so I just beat on a cheap 7/8" and beat it back off. ( the cheap impacts are a little looser to start with ) If it wont go on, I get a bigger hammer.
    1
  16834. Rust is Not a requirement for swollen nuts. I've seen it on a 2018 RAM. Pulled the stainless caps off and the nuts were spotless underneath. Moral of the story: Don't buy Chinese.
    1
  16835. Yup, deal with these kind of lug nuts way too often. It's not just limited to Dodge/Ram/FCA, but Ford is notorious for it too on the Fusions and Escapes to where the were even sued over it. Even GM has some bad ones, but not as bad as the other two. Even Toyota/Lexus has some happen. We've tried to sell full sets of lugs to customers and usually a small handful will pay, even with showing the customer the issue. But I will admit that you have an interesting technique in taking the socket off and will try it, besides my usual(and trusty) hammer on concrete.

  16836.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  True that!😺

  16841.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  Ha ! 👊I was thinking about shooting you an E-mail on that one bc I'd think it can't be easy to read all of the damn comments. 👍

  16842. So Ray BTW, that water pump or alternator pulley(I forget) from about 2 weeks ago that you forgot(or trolled us into thinking you forget) to tighten, even after mentioning it while finger torquing, hasn't come back yet ? It's ALL good, even If it wasn't just an unmentioned edit or troll, it absolutely happens to everyone, even the very best. 🤪

  16862. You live in Florida, mosquitoes are ubiquitous. Take vitamin B2 regularly or you can take a good B complex like ab51 a regular basis and it would reduce your mosquito bites markedly. Old mercenaries trick especially when preparing to travel to Africa. Irregardless, even though it is a non word, is not my biggest pet peeve word, my biggest pet peeve where does 98% of the people who use the word decimate have no idea what it means. Decimate is an ancient Roman word to reduce a military force by 10%. And most of the time when people use it they mean the word devastate. Not decimate. Like at this juncture maripol in the Ukraine has been devastated. It was decimated probably on the first day or two of the battle. And there's there's always people who can't understand how to pronounce the word salmonella. The first Allen salmonella is silent, because it was named after doctor Jacob Salmon. Just like the fish.

  16877. Ray a good pilot will have his a&p.
    1
  16878. A good pilot never stop learning said Captain Joe.
    1
  16879. Ray, getting your private pilot's license nowadays is going to be expensive. When I got mine as a part of my college courses in the early '80s, it cost around $2,500. I worked my butt off and got my license in 45 hours, minimum was 40 hours. Avgas today, depending on location, can be closing in on $9.00/gallon. BOHICA. Another problem is finding a good and reputable flight instructor. I was lucky, one of my professors, ex Navy F-8 Crusader pilot, was my first. He had to stop because of time limitations due to being a professor. The second CFI was also good. Make damn sure the aircraft has all maintenance done and no open airworthiness directives. Although I graduated from ERAU, my professor did not teach there. ERAU had/has some good professors and instructors. Be sure to fly a minimum of twice per week, three or more is better. Flying skills are terribly perishable, need to keep those skills fresh.

  16880. You said "...scrutiny is how we develop improvement." Perfect. Nothing further need be said, and thanks for another great vid.,

  16885. Hey, Ray.. I sent you an email about the M12 Solder iron FAIL.. Read the reviews on that thing.. Seems it has a melting connection in the metal to plastic part. Maybe some high temp Teflon tape might help make it last longer. Anyway.. love to hear your thoughts about it.. Good day sir!

  16887. I have an idea. Why not spray a solvent, say gasoline, into the intake manifold above the valves, so that the solvent washes and cleans the valve all the time. Oh wait, that's how it used to be done on every engine built.

  16890. I would like to thank you so very much. You have taught me so much watching your videos. I’ve been a mechanic for the better part of my life. There are so many things that I have done incorrectly over the years. I just wish you were located over here on the west coast. Keep up the great work.

  16898. I'm so glad you finally got your own spot. I was so surprised the places you worked at actually allowed you to film your work. I would have thought they would come down on you for wasting time due to filming.

  16909. As for all YouTube videos, I prefer long form videos and the reason for that is because another channel on cable (discovery) used to edit the video to make it watchable for 43 minutes with five breaks for advertising. For all car videos I like the ones from the first bolt and do the whole entire thing and clean up and give back to customers. Or fixing your vehicle shows everything despite the YouTube algorithms. This shit with 20 seconds of whatever crap AsSeenOnTV network just garbage and these apps copy and paste the duplicates set videos are boring. Please have more long form videos and if it needs speed up sections for the same kinds of things like breaks or tires,or the monthly replacement parts. Take Care Cheers!

  16927. Welcoming back!
    1
  16928. Ray, I'm sad. You said if the test proves that you were wrong you would install the new one anyway that means you would be charging the customer for something he didn't need. That is worse than firing a parts cannon. At least people that do that don't know in advance they are replacing unnecessary parts. I ain't trolling , if you look at my previous post I have always been nothing but supportive.

  16939. 355th! Good Thursday morning Ray,Lauren,and Dave, the new employee. I don’t like side pipes. Have been burnt a couple times. Getting in and out of a Corvette. They don’t look good either,in my opinion. This car looks like it needs to be repaired from front to back. Sitting isn’t a friend to classic muscle cars of the 60s and 70s. Will be watching as you bring this car back to be a reliable fun car. Roger in Pierre South Dakota

  16947. Wes from @WatchWesWork has rewired a few welders on his channel, he might have an idea about where to get the switch you need. (Hopefully it's okay that I linked another YouTuber on your channel comments.)

  16948. I could have done that while it was still in the chassis hanging upside down with a blindfold on. I can also subvert the laws of physics and complete intercourse with myself LOL. Nah, great job man. Funny thing is, you know it only came undone because you ordered another engine. Now that lost engine will show up because that's sods law.

  16955. They have been hitting all popular channels, I know Matt from demolition ranch and off the ranch has issues, Roman attwood. Soutmain auto. You name it. But I have had one for your channel once I pi@@ed them off so bad they left me alone but it's very annoying for the subscribers but more for the onwers of the channels.

  16959. In the UK you cannot mix crossply or racial tyres on the same axial , you can mix brands
    1
  16960. @1:28 In Belgium it is illegal. The tires on each axle must comply with the manufacturer's instructions. They must have the same characteristics: brand, dimensions, load and speed index, profile and identical wear. The structure of the tires (e.g. radial) must be the same on both axles. The tires must not protrude from the bodywork.
    1
  16961. Anybody else sing the "Time to do some sketchy stuff" song when he was using the lift to compress 😂!?!
    1
  16962. Ray you are not correct about makes of tyre it is radial and crossply you can ot mix hope this helps DEL

    1
  16967. You failed to tell your viewers that the duct tape modification adds 20 horsepower. I think I might need to unsub if you continue to mislead your viewers....

  16982. Ray been watching you since you worked at a delearship. Enjoy your content. Im no painter but a coat of Kilz primer might be a good start. LED high bays is the way to go, low current draw and almost no heat generated. A good security camera system is a good purchase to protect you investment. My dad told me something I'll never forget. 'Locks are for honest People'.

  16988. Interesting when you were emptying the BG bladder and were playing long range shooting holding the hose I thought that you may have grown up somewhere up north and written your name in the snow. The prelude to being a mechanic. Boys will be boys.

  16989. You do realise Brake Clean is flammable. Many use it for starting small engines with gas supply problems. Use with care especially when you seem to spray gallons of it.

  16995. Ray, I love your content. Before I stumbled upon your channel I loved watching the Goonzquad guys do their thing unfortunately they became too arrogant and "too" Hollywood if that makes any sense. Please Ray dont shorten your videos to less than 30 minutes, going home and putting on Youtube and watching you work is one of the highlights of my day.
    1
  16996. @5:50... A lot of times, when cars fall, it's not because of a collapse. It's because people disable the arm locks to make it easier to swing the arms under a car. This means when the car is is the air, the arms can swing out from under the car. Seen it happen. Dealership I was at, the service manager came out into the shop one day and fired 3 techs for having their arm locks disabled (we had 20 techs). @7:29... That's why I drain the filter housing before removing it. @10:15... My favorite part of any of your videos is the caveman, "Brake clean empty!" moment. As an aside... I'm now paying $3.99/ can for brake clean. Wish someone would send me a case.

  17004. Only a stupid idiot would cross the threads on those lug nuts and then turn his/her impact gun up and drive them home. Not once but more than once for just about every lug. Didn’t they think something was wrong when the impact gun was twisting their arm off and taking longer putting those lugs on?! Or did they think “hurrr durrrrr ‘da lugs are tight on her!” 🙄 Lucky you Ray you get to fix someone else’s stupidity, LOL
    1
  17005. All because some idiot couldn't be bothered to start the lug nuts by hand for just a couple of turns before hitting it with the air gun. I'm guessing a discount tire chain was the last shop to work on this car?
    1
  17006. I'm glad I'm not a mechanic, I don't have the patience for such nasty stuff, I used to work with software, not real hardware like this, but it is satisfying to see somebody defeat a mangled nut and bolt all the same, thanks :-)

  17007.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  understandable 👍🏻

  17008. You might be too young to know that Mopar products used to have left hand threads on the studs on the driver side. A buddy broke 2 off trying to change a tire once.
    1
  17009. My god. What a pain in the butt! My old place where I worked always over tightened lug nuts.

    1
  17017. Good Sunday afternoon
    1
  17018. Another example of why mechanics get a bad reputation. Take it to the dealer, because they should be specialists in the brand they work on. Get charged too much money, after way to long, to misdiagnose your car and then take way too long to warranty their work. Ray, thank you for demonstrating what a mechanic should be.

  17019. Ray, Hurricane update. I see the NHC has Hurricane Milton hitting Tampa Bay as a 115 mph Cat 3 on Wednesday. Let's hope not, as a hit like that could put 12-18 feet of water into Tampa Bay. I worked the storm all day and am thinking it'll move inland to the south of Tampa, maybe Sarasota or possibly even farther south. These NE moving storms in October always move inland south of where you think they will. Prepare for another impact on Wednesday. Sorry, I know you were just starting to feel better.
    1
  17020. Better take some naps, Milton is headed right for you...

  17031. It's actually winter time in Australia right now. They're in the southern hemisphere and feel the opposite seasons to the Northern hemisphere. So November/December/January for us would be hot summer time for our friends down under. But yes, it does get that hot for them in summer time. There's an Australian youtuber me and my roommate sub to that melts down scrap metal.

  17072. Rainman Ray's Repair I have an installed the same sterio and hooked up a camera. It is on and stayed on while even going forward because the option was selected and has a constant 12 volts. It will only go on and off while shifting to reverse if the green wire is hooked up properly in the wire harness to the head unit and the wire gets connected to your backup light in your tailights. Wich in sense turns the camera on an off when you shift into reverse sending 12volts to the backup lights also turning the camera on. Very simple.
    1
  17073. I can't believe you almost used a pipe wrench on a Mercedes... The nerve the gall... Just despicable behavior, omg and that crush washer, Jesus man what were you thinking...

  17080. Thanks for using a funnel this time Ray.

  17100. Nice Ron White reference. lol

  17101. FIRST.... I watch ALL your videos, and ALWAYS "click" that pappy tap button. Do you put a bumper or cover on the doors when you open them on the hoist? KEEP up the great videos. I have SEARCHED to find the same phone ring on our shop phone, and still looking HAHAA

  17107. I like it when you fessed up to messing up the gear. Shows character. Good video.
    1
  17108. If you are not the owner, he/she must love you for your videos. You generate new and loyal customers, plus not a penny has to be spent on marketing. A twofer. The detractors say, that you don't disclose your shop's location. No need to... Every customer who watches your vid you working on their vehicle, will show it or tell about it to 10 others and they'll want to take their vehicles to nowhere else...
    1
  17109. Some Ford guys are going to re when they see what color you painted those parts.

  17110. Hey Ray, a quarter million subs. I remember you when. Click!
    1
  17111. Ray, you are a rare individual, honest, good set of morals. A rare breed these days. Respect. My 91 Silverado is pinging, I will try this. If good, will try seafoam or berrymans down the tbi junk. Just rebuilt tbi unit last summer, injectors sprayed fine but rebuilt unit anyway and replaced broken spring in pressure unit. New NAPA distributor, cause original had decayed plastics. The old girl has over 300,000 on the clock, still runs strong, but pings. Timing is correct. Any ideas Ray? No codes. Will a clogged egr cause this? On long trip on highway(1 hr) money light is on, but resets if I shut it down and restart code goes away.

  17116.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  Every Community College here in Florida has a degree in auto shop from ASE and auto manufacturing companies. When you get tired of crawling under cars I think you would be a great instructor to not only teach these kids skills but work ethics as well. I am learning a lot just from your videos.
    1
  17117.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  it's out of respect as another technician. I dont mean to belittle you or anything like that. Solenoid circuits need to be tested under load. Checking resistance with a multimeter to ground through a semiconductor will always have varying results even if it's the same part number of computer. I'm just saying that what you showed on the video was not enough to condemn that computer and a test under load (such as a normal test light with a filament bulb) would have answered that for you. I shouldn't have started my first comment off with what I said because there wasn't enough information to determine if the pcm was good or not

  17118. Did you really sign the order,"Rainman Ray?"😄😄😄

  17119. It looked like dusk when you started on this Ford

  17120. These 'regular' repairs are more profitable and satisfying - satisfying both for you and for us viewers- than the endless gear-fitting of those custom differentials. Man, what a job that was.
    1
  17121. Ray, you sound so much more enthusiatic since you opened your shop!!! I am thrilled to watch you through your journey.

  17124. The Last of the Mohicans is an great novel written by James Fenimore Cooper sometime in the early 1800's. The '90s version of the movie was excellent.
    1
  17125. "Unregulated" . Clever clickbait 🙃
    1
  17126. You can do the headliner reapolstering yourself, not hard to do . Also your question about is it ok to say last of the Mohicans , short answer yes ,references with native names never bothered me and I am native, to many continuesly offended people in America 🇺🇸, we need to get over it!

  17127. Diesel is way cleaner than gas it just looks bad, that black carbon falls to the ground and is mostly harmless. No carbon monoxide here. I want to de-neuter my diesel also.
    1
  17128. G'morning Ray, having my coffee with you!!
    1
  17129. Actually, The Last of the Mohicans was a novel written by James Fennimore Cooper in 1826, so movie title, but book title first.
    1
  17130. Ray, it's not racists, you honor them by mentioning their name, and you also honor them by remembering them. So no it is not racists, I am half Native American (Indian) Cherokee, and Half Irish. All the PC bs nowadays are just another form of harassment. Some people take so many things out of context, Nothing you said was meant in a harmful or derogatory way brother. PS: love the videos Ray, would love to see you set up a rear differential, ring, and pinion gear set, Backlash, etc.

  17131. What causes a fog light switch to melt?

  17132. I was watching the vid where you changed the other one yesterday, you had a Dorman that time... I was screaming at the screen: "No, Ray, there are two bolts on the door!!!" :D

  17135. Video looks a little more crisp, but audio sounds about the same, imo. I dont sub to alot of channels, but yours is one of them, really like that you dont ask people to do that, to me it makes people sound needy and out for attention, not education. i think it keeps your channel more relatable, you seem to be a no bs kinda guy, keep up the great work!
    1
  17136. what's the point of these high strung and over worked small turbo engines? avg mpg shows 17.7...so you don't even get fuel consumption advantage.

  17137. Yeah yeah, bore-camera time....!!! The new GoPro-9 seems to be working fine, audio and video are great...

  17138. Not much difference with the cameras. BTW.. You have me saying.. Click, I Win and Whyyy when im working on stuff now.. lol! Love the Content.. Keep up the Great work!
    1
  17139. Just went back to some of your previous video uploads from the last few days, put both in full 1080 and then compare those to rewatching this video. The only difference with that 9 is that the voice pickup over the background noise is noticeably sharper. So better audio😊 another great video! Don't notice much difference without going to 1080. But you can read the part number on the intake manifold 😊😊
    1
  17140. I do believe removing the plastic cowls that cover most of the engine would have made the job much easier to work on. They only take about 10 minutes to remove max iirc

  17141. Time for a blast cabinet or room. Says his bathroom is a mechanic bathroom so blast in there and it might get cleaned.
    1
  17142. Watching while prepping some food and my head turned when I heard “…not gonna Plastidip these bearings…”. I found myself confused as to what novel use of the product Ray had found for assembly of engines…and by about the time Ray did it again, and then corrected it to Plastigauge, I had concluded he misspoke. At least I feel good I was talking it all in and noticed.

  17171. Ray: "This is a Jeep Cherokee from 1999" Me thinking: Well it's almost new, only... 22 years? When did that happen? When you're a kid a year is an eternity. When you're in your 20's a decade is an eternity. When you're in your 50's a decade was yesterday. Einstein was right, time is relative... 😁

  17190. Well Mr Ray, you certainly have married above your station it seems! So far work seems to be getting more consistant. Hope you get organised by the time it gets busy for you. Your Wife Unit certainly adds to the scenery improvement of the place. As for a blockage, what about the filter in the receiver/drier? Worth changing that? I have seen them cause issues.

  17195. I subscribed it was the der de der de der with the phone for me, great content

  17196. Also on the oil you will have migration through a system. The oil from the old compressor is still in the system, see it all the time oil slugging from multiple compressors in old equipment. Your good on that one
    1
  17197. Dude I do different mechanic work (commercial and industrial hvacr) and I had a job absolutely wreck me yesterday so I feel your pain on a personal level.
    1
  17198. If you would have put the screws back into the plugs they would not have kept falling out. But, I am sure you knew that. You were challenging yourself.
    1
  17199. This tool isn’t a lot of money. Probably a good idea to buy one.
    1
  17200. Good morning Ray.✌
    1
  17201. For the life of me I can't figure out why people go bananas over those cars. Biggest pains in the ass to work on & just so many things that make you scratch your head & say "why?" Must be the dog commercials 🙄
    1
  17202. At least the alternator was easy
    1
  17203. 👍great video.
    1
  17204. Yamamotos revenge.
    1
  17205. No wonder a noisy compressor. I saw NO oil come out when it was on your tool box. Secondly is good practice to put some oil on the o rings on install.. it helps thwm no to pinch but they also will swell and create a better seal. Stay safe and be well. Have a great rest of your day.
    1
  17206. Reeeeeeee

  17207. 1:30 nod to AVE? Tappy tap tap.

  17218. I love the technical jargon! "Little clippie thing".
    1
  17219. Hey, first time i see your videos. Enjoyed it! I'm wondering though, what kind of car are those brakes and rotors from? Or are they specific to that trailer only?
    1
  17220. Pro tip: Put a latex glove over your head to keep it dry. You'll be the envy of all your coworkers.
    1
  17221. Awesome how you also teach as you do your videos. I've subbed. :)
    1
  17222. Thanks for the Patreon link - feels like I'm giving something back...

  17223. Bearing races are not replaceable on these hubs individually. You need to replace the whole hub, but somewhere in the comments section Ray said the customer did not want to do it, so.
    1
  17224. nothing more therapeutic than beating the living snot out of a indeterminate object
    1
  17225. I bought one of those tools for my brakes from Amazon for 22.99. No reason for you to buy one of those from a box truck and paying a premium price. They are all made the same way. I worked a place that filled bottles. We bottled oil for a major maker (Stihl) of outdoor tools with their gasoline engines, what did we fill the bottles with 30 oil from Mobil brand oil. You go to the store and the small bottles are 10.00 dollars. A six ounce bottle of oil for ten bucks. Save your money and first see if it’s on Amazon or EBay.
    1
  17226. Grug like bearing buddies.... grease after every use. No run out of grease. Happy Grug. Happy trailer.

  17233. It's messy, two packs of rags later ........
    1
  17234. Ray! Fml. My hwy salting fleet is 10 x worse. You are absolutely right about the rinse. Have a good day sir!
    1
  17235.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  Aha, quite a few of us thought that was odd. That explains it though and what's that old saying, "the customer is always right". Oh well, he'll get his fishing trip done okay but longer term he'll need new hub assemblies.
    1
  17236. When you peeled those gloves off my PTSD kicked in...shudder...the YEARS I spent wearing those same gloves, every day, sweating in them, tearing holes in them and thanking God I had them on when Lava soap time came around. Uuhhhhh...
    1
  17237. I have never done one that didn't have a keyed or tabbed (keep it from spinning on the axle) washer under the nut. We may have missed the reinstall. I think I saw it come out with the first wheel bearing.

  17238. Lang makes the caliper tool for snapon/ blue point as well as snapons snap ring pliers. Good made in USA quality 👌

  17247. Me screaming at the monitor, "You forgot the injector harness!!!". Ray: "Oh, look what I've done!" Ray: Hit battery terminal with torque wrench. Me: "And this is why we don't use electronic torque wrenches."
    1
  17248. That is the way the car is. Not your fault. You missed your chance at fame and fortune. You should have sung the workin' at the carwash song.
    1
  17249. I see you have the new style torque wrench that sparks when the proper torque is detected? 22:14

  17250. oopsey sparklers

  17251. I was doing an oil cooler on a 3.6 L pentastar engine, I had the lower intake installed and then I noticed that I had forgotten the shop towels inside of the intake to stop crud from entering the engine. Thank God I seen them before I put the upper intake on or it wouldn't have been nice

  17252. Spark clicks!

  17261. There’s a little bracket generator spitting out new brackets when you’re not looking.
    1
  17262. Ray while you are at it you should paint the frame again before you put together.
    1
  17263. That first fill up of diesel is gonna be expensive
    1
  17264. Ray just a thought. Maybe you might want to replace engine mounts since you are doing some upgrades
    1
  17265. Hope you are going to de-rust and repaint the chassis whilst you are there ..otherwise missed opportunity.

  17267. I just bought those 2 batteries last month for my C5500 box truck. I keep them hooked up to a Noco1 to maintain them now. Not trying to spend another $340 for a pair of heavy ass fucking batteries anytime soon.
    1
  17268. You might be mad about a broken lift cable, or tire water, but it's a loooong way from the lube n tune you used to be at where this all started.
    1
  17269. You ought to get a small solar charger for that truck. Then it will stay charged
    1
  17270. "A nut of a lifetime" hahahaha. Classic Ray.
    1
  17271. This is a Genius way of doing this. This should be a lesson for all shops who may encounter a problem like this.
    1
  17272. Next lift gonna be a 4 post? (So you can later on do alignments too)?
    1
  17273. Look at that, Ray! Almost like you know what you're doing. You managed to do all the wrong things fairly safely and accomplished the mission!
    1
  17274. im not saying that it was totally all me that helped you pull the rusty free spool winch line but im not not saying that lol
    1
  17275. Glad to see I'm not the only 1 who has their door panel off...
    1
  17276. Good job! Funny Matt's video was next in my queue! 😂
    1
  17277. You're a typical mechanic you fix everybody else's stuff but you're own😅
    1
  17278. 🤣😂🤣 This turned into a whole production real quick between the batteries, the unloading of the truck, ect... Yeah, I would have went home after that one too..
    1
  17279. Now get a solar battery tender for your new batteries.
    1
  17280. That was some platinum level MacGuyer stuff right there!

  17283. 1:29 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee/Curb weight 4,254 to 4,788 lbs not 3K LOL
    1
  17284. get a 5 watt solar panel and connect it to your old tow truck batteries. that will keep the batteries charged for a long time and the truck ready to use if you ever need it.
    1
  17285. Wonder when he's going to remember the tools under the seat.
    1
  17286. That tow truck is worth keeping around, you never know when you might need again for.
    1
  17287. i came for catastrophic fails ! clearly i misread the title hahaha
    1
  17288. I wont tell Matts off road, or Ron Pratt over at midwest truck, but I WILL tell Pepe’s and Plaza towing…. Lmfao. Seriously though, well done Ray. Good idea keeping people out of the “thwack” zone so they don’t go splat should something go Bad. (Yes that all kinda rhymes, it may or may not have been my intention lol).
    1
  17289. “This is the longest nut of my life, Hunched over, can barely stand, getting weak in the knees. Definetily a nut for the history books”😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Im a child. All jokes aside i love you Ray great work!!!!!

  17290. @RainmanRaysRepairs You forgot Pepe's Towing, Casey LaDell, and Murphy's Diesel.... Speaking of Casey and Matt, you need to update your winch rope to Yankum.
    1
  17291. Couldn't stop watching this video,even though it's 1am in the morning in the UK,your videos are addictive my friend 😂😂😂
    1
  17292. I tend to keep vehicles forever. Were it mine, I would have drilled hole to get a bit in there. Cutting like that leaves stress risers that will turn into cracks. That's not somebody's baby though, that's a work truck. No REEEEE from MEEEEE
    1
  17293. Thanks!

  17294. Guess if it wasn't on camera it didn't happen ay?

  17297. After 51 years of swinging hammers, pushing, pulling and twisting drill chuck keys in a Die Shop, I am here to tell you Ray, when you get older, your thumbs will hurt like they did today, all the time! Just my experience. Don't overuse any body part, it hurts!

  17308. Just saying I'm pretty sure I remember a video of you changing o2 sensors for a person's car and they were not bad but person wanted them changed anyway and you lipped about it much of the video saying how it displeased you to change parts that were not bad and here I find you changing parts on your own truck that were not bad just saying 😂😂

  17323. Ignore the haters man. Funny how people always have something to say about EVERYTHING. Ask 1000 different mechanics how to do something and you'll get 1000 different answers. Move forward and keep wrenchin!

  17334. Don't bad me but I found some earth magnets at Harbor freight that fit perfectly inside my sockets helped me on small rc cars and glow plugs on my 08 6.4 SUPER DUTY

  17335. Get yourself better soon. Don't worry yourself about the videos. Concentrate you efforts on getting well.
    1
  17336. I hate how easy you make every job look. I must be own enemy. Also, I wonder if others use antiseize on spark plug threads? Hope you continue to recover.
    1
  17337. Hope you’re feeling better. Nice surprise vid - thank you
    1
  17338. That is why I do not drive a pile of shit

  17341.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  lmfao its alright man. I figured you probably missed that lol.
    1
  17342. The intro threw me for a loop too 😆
    1
  17343. That's what my spark plugs looked like when I got my 2003 Outback. Good thing I planned on servicing the engine and transmission since I didn't know history.
    1
  17344. Big gaps, hard on coils and mosfets.
    1
  17345. It's good to hear you are holding up !
    1
  17346. Hey Mr Rain dude, I was worried with you being sick and all that. Take it easy on yourself; our bodies are amazing at healing if we give them the time and space to do their thing.
    1
  17347. Hope all is going well brother
    1
  17348. Yay
    1
  17349. How are you doing? Hopefully good and mild symptoms. Gotta say I almost posted on the first video you said the brake clean was messing with ya that you might wanna get a vid test.
    1
  17350. Keep improving with your health. Thank for the video

  17351.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  :-), I was thinking “this will be interesting” :-)

  17352. Take some lemsip. You will get over that flu in no time. Love the video's.

  17353. If that lift had not broken, this recovery would have been an all nighter.
    1
  17354. I guess no one is immune.
    1
  17355. No A/C on the towtruck = one less thing that can go wrong.
    1
  17356. That’s a bad Body Control Module, ask me how I know lol. Same year truck except 2500HD
    1
  17357. I wish I could come down and show how to run a tow truck
    1
  17358. If I were you, I'd take it back to the shop that last worked on it and give 'em heck! 😂
    1
  17359. Class 2 data failure. Unplug the slice pack under dash
    1
  17360. I recall the purchase video of the tow truck. Then the paint video. Then you never seemed to use it in anger until now! Bet you’re glad the batteries got replaced in time! Never expected the first vehicle we seen on it would be the Silverado!😮 We all want the diagnostic video and it’s going to be the rain. Get that big grey generator up and running soon buddy.

  17361. Today I learned that your face doesn't have sunglasses permanently attached to it. 😎

  17364.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  I love your videos Ray. My opinion is your a hell of a mechanic and a good person as well
    1
  17365. In these difficult spaces, why can't your director of photogiraffy or a gaffer assist?

  17366. Is that subwoofer or an air pump I laughed so hard when you said that 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂uk England

  17368. You call these cars whatever you want. People just don't have a sense of humor. I agree with you. You have to do anything to spice the day up or you'll go crazy.

  17369. Hi Ray. This is Randy in Chattanooga, Tennessee. If you’ve ever watched Vice Grip Garage, you’ll find that Derek calls Silverados Silver-A-dos. By the way, I love your channel.

  17370. I would only hope that the oil change sticker just wasn't updated.

  17371. I like sonic corndogs. If they see this comment, maybe they will let me tour the facility.
    1
  17372. Ray, I higly commend you on the way you handled this situation. You made a comment on a specific product. That company called you and in the course of that conversation that company stated they have improved their product and wants to provide you with proof and with your viewers. I think your actions are commendable. ❤
    1
  17373. Feck the Trolls . Here is what I have noticed . Manufacturers are watching your channel and care about your opinion . Keep doing what you are doing .
    1
  17374. you need mustard
    1
  17375. Yeah, but your truck would probably run really good on those corn dogs 😎
    1
  17376. Well said. Changing one's opinion when given new information is kinda the way how adults work. All corn dogs suck 😂
    1
  17377. 100% agree with you on this Ray.
    1
  17378. Good job. Deal with the facts.
    1
  17379. Lots of companies jump right to law suit. They are called SLAPP (Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation) suits. There are several states with laws against these types of suits. Often companies use them with no intent to take you to court. They are just to make you shut up and spend money defending yourself. I am glad this hasn't happened to you. But it happens far to often.
    1
  17380. good on ya for acting in a rational manner, lotta people arent rational in this world
    1
  17381. 😆 at the end stay 💪
    1
  17382. Sellout!? I dont see that. I LOVE the fact your honest. God knows finding an " Honest Mechanic" is hard to do it seems. To bad you live to damn far away otherwise. I'd be sending you any work I needed done. Keep do'en what your do'en Brother. Your Do'en Just Fine. Now Corndogs without Ketchup!? Im so offended. ;)

  17383. As far as I am aware, The Constitution of The United States is still the law of the land. The first amendment guarantees the Right of Free Speech. Some say that applies only to a public forum, but what forum is more pubic than the platform you are using? Further, since our opinions are based on our personal frame of reference there is nothing preventing us from sharing our new perspectives when our frame of reference is altered. You have every right to do what you did. The dissenters should realize that you were giving additional information based on changes to the situation. Bad on them for only seeing the negative and rushing to display their ignorance. Thanks for sharing.
    1
  17384. Humans aren't always rational. Keyboard warriors rarely are.
    1
  17385. Everybody is ENTITLED to an opinion. Everybody is ENTITLED to change there opinion based on what they see and what they experience. Absolutely nothing wrong with that. It called LEARNING. It's how we grow as individuals and as a people

  17386. 🔧✌️🔧
    1
  17387.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  I think it's a matter of keeping the title somewhat in line with the actual contents of the video. Clickbait is a lot less offensive if it doesn't come off as dishonest. Scotty Kilmer's clickbait titles were what finally pushed me to unsubscribe from his channel, because the lack of relevancy to the contents of the video in the clickbait made it impossible for me to evaluate whether or not any particular video was going to be of interest to me.

  17388. My statement wasn't about that company, it was about the fact they put internal fuel injectors in vehicles. I stand behind my statement, it's just another car industry cash grab making things impossible for the owner to repair their own vehicle because they don't have the injectors under the coils any longer.

  17389. 100% agree. Corn dogs suck! 😂

  17390. If you were smart you would just keep it all pov and just keep your life and personality out of it, I am not telling you to do that, just saying some people cant handle reality so you have to just give them a curated reality . I can already tell you are a honest and truthful person that wouldnt sell out for some cash, pretty sure you are making pretty good money right now. Don't let the bastards keep you down.
    1
  17391. Here’s a fact; anyone CAN sue you for anything! That doesn’t mean they will win, but they can sue you. Frivolous lawsuits are filled all the time and unfortunately you have to hire a lawyer to defend said frivolous lawsuits. That said; speaking your mind about your opinion should ALWAYS be a hill to stand on.
    1
  17392. Stick to your guns Ray!
    1
  17393. Hey this is great. They realize your popularity and want to rebuild their reputation by giving you a tour. That’s a win for both sides. You are not a sell out. Keep on putting out the content
    1
  17394. “These corndogs suck”. Laughing at my desk.

  17395. If the tour of the facility, along with the readout on the specs changes your mind...then say it in a video. Maybe they make a great product now, go and find out.
    1
  17396. Please don't let the trolls get to you.
    1
  17397. Personally I'm more appalled that you bought corn dogs in the first place.

  17398. Sorry Ray. It’s the Internet. People suck.

  17400. Beware the trolls!

  17401. Remember the old saying about opinions and assholes. Also you also have to remember that you've become very popular, that puts a target on your back. All that you can do is chug along and to those who are pissing and moaning, give um one of these 🖕.
    1
  17402. You are not any kind of a sell "out" at all! You gave an opinion based upon your research. But, because of new information that was brought to your attention, you reevaluated your opinion, for now.
    1
  17403. Screw the haters!!!! Do your thing it's great!!
    1
  17404. Some people just have nothing better to do.
    1
  17405. Agree to disagree agreeably
    1
  17406. You're not a sellout. Don't listen to anonymous cowardly "internet lawyers".
    1
  17407. Your videos are awesome.
    1
  17408. This is the way to do this. You find less quality injectors and they want to do something to get the issue fixed. That is the right way. Even a huge factory as Boeing make mistakes building parts for planes. They get a warning, a plane loses a door, and they admit they are wrong and want to fix this issue. If I was you I would have done the same thing, go talk to these people and fix the issue. And after this video you also get a trip to a corndog factory...LOL
    1
  17409. There is no such thing as "Middle ground" on the internet. The average person is willing to be civil, have good dialog all day long. The average person usually will just watch the videos and maybe have a random comment or two. But usually most people don't get involved in internet drama. They are what I call "Ninja Watchers"... they watch from the shadows, never to be known or seen. The people who go crazy on the internet, and most social media platforms are the spurgs. The small % of people. Those are the idiots who scream the loudest, and garner the attention of the world ( like the protesters, or activists... ). But they are the MINORITY Ray. The average person isn't on here commenting usually. I Wouldn't take it too serious if I were you. But its your channel. And you have over 500k subs. So you are almost viewed at online influencer at this stage, so people are going to take your word a bit more seriously than others.
    1
  17410. You basically said, “These are junk. Prove me wrong.“ And now they are getting the chance to prove you wrong. You may change your opinion on the company or you may not. But it’s YOUR opinion. If you don’t like a product and recommend a better one, then it’s pay a little more now for a better product or pay a lot later to do the same thing again when it fails. Just my 2 cents…
    1
  17411. You just hit on the Crux of the problem in our current political situation
    1
  17412. I wouldn't talk about lawsuits and who has a right to file or not unless you have talked to an attorney. It's YouTube, expect counters to your opinions. No one wants to be tied up in litigation when the company has lawyers on staff and a budget that you don't have. I hope this all blows over. And you are discussing this without the tour when you should have waited for all the facts. Clicks and views.
    1
  17413. How dare you have willingness to change your mind when presented with new information! Don't you know that the tribe is life, the tribe is all, all others are evil.

  17417. Civil discourse at it's finest Ray! You did it well and hopefully taught many people a valuable lesson.
    1
  17418. Obviously DL values your opinion Ray hence the invitation, they admitted to their failings of that particular injector, you can only comment on what you've read regarding said injector. I read some of the comments you received much to my dismay of some of your followers. Don't worry about them mate your an honest man with your opinion which is totally acceptable. Sorry to hear about the corn dog though.🤣. Aussie Graham. 0:44
    1
  17419. Ray, you are doing the right thing. take their tour and give us an honest video. But make sure it is not a dog and pony show for your viewers.
    1
  17420. Ray, you really dont have to apologize. your position was clearly stated and no rational person would think less of you. i cant wait to see what they have done to fix the issues. i do find it terrible that a) its that much labor to change the injectors and b) i think less of that company since the owner is now having to replace the injectors twice. the cost has to be huge and you have every right to disparage their product, and more importantly give them the opportunity to show how they have changed this. what i find lacking is that they only offered to replace the part and not bear the responsibility of reimbursing the customer for the labor involved in replacing their clearly defective product. that should be asked of them. thats the only way i think they can ',make it right'
    1
  17421. As an owner of a fabrication company, I actually look forward to customers commenting on our product . especially if it's negative , it gives us an opportunity to improve on our builds and quality product.
    1
  17422. You still may not be wrong. Being invited to the factory doesn't mean they make a quality product. Walking around looking at things being made doesn't show their quality of reliability . I worked in construction. One of the companies I worked for bought a "Hilti" gun. What it was is after Hilti's patent ran out on one of their original guns another company started making them "to spec" . Well to them "spec" was measurements . The materials were crap. Within weeks the inside of the barrel was destroyed . The shot they were selling was to "spec" but made in China. Parts literally broke inside the gun . The brass the shot was made out of was mostly zinc which made the case hard and when the gun was fired flame would shoot out of where the clip was because the firing pin punctured the case . We got the salesman to come back and show him what garbage his "Spec" junk was . I won't say the companies name but they claimed they could fasten all things
    1
  17423. Ray, please dude, don’t give into the trolls. That’s what they do. The trolls don’t care about you they are like the devil and want to steal your joy kill your reputation and destroy you livelihood. Continue making good content and we will keep watching.

  17424. I agree and there are always haters and armature lawyers and philosophers out there. Remember the 1st amendment ?

  17426. Haters are going to hate!

  17427. that is not being a sell out. that is doing do diligence. You get to see things and make up your own mind. We get to go along for the ride.
    1
  17428. WTF people? This has literally nothing to do with you unless you are Ray or an employee of Diesel Logic. Take a chill pill and watch the entertainment. This is how adults communicate.
    1
  17429. Hey, you were simply willing to give the company a chance= don't we ALL need a second chance from time to time???? If people don't like your channel, or you, then piss on them, just ignore or delete.... Rock on, man! You are better than to listen to that BS. Personally, I RESPECT the company for inviting you to go and see for yourself!!!! If they were a scam company, they would not do it!!
    1
  17430. That middle ground is shrinking due to political agendas and mainstream media sensationalism. Regardless people have the ability to think objectively if they choose to. Forming an opinion is just that, it can always be a work in progress. People need to stop being so butt hurt....

  17434. Your followers of long time know your character. The thought never even crossed my mind, I was curious to see the DL video, sounds really interesting and different, like when you went to that Banks place with the giant fans (I think?), that was super interesting .
    1
  17435. This is the result of social media.
    1
  17436. Dang, you got more comments on this one than the one this morning. I commend you on making peace with DL!
    1
  17437. You are allowed to alter your position Ray, because you are an adult, and adults discuss issues with those they disagree or have issue with. Civilly. Keyboard warriors be darned, you did what you believe to be the right thing to do, and will most likely keep your current position until its proven otherwise. It's called being an adult.

  17446. I hate the way they do without dipsticks in transmissions these days. Its just a pain in the ass. Then there are the engine oil dipstick tubes on the Audis (orange plastic crap that breaks off if you breathe on it.) then the dipstick sits lower in its hole.

  17450. Why does your customer want new rotors against your recommendation? Word of mouth from the but- hurt. Don't believe in you. Only believe in new. It helps the Chinese destroy your industry. There are a few examples across a vast line of car makes that have circumstances in the multifactual realm of their specific reality. Some cars get hub distortion when tightening. Some cars have issues with their wheels and the bolt circle . Some rotors end up being machined only for runout in early mileage. Some cars had solid rotors with little room for machining and we're discard only. Some had campaigns done because the hat design made them composite. When someone reacts to stories about repeat attempts, ( on someone else's make model and year) They may see a brand new part as the smart money. This particular case, the normal machining should suffice. The tire issue with cuppy inside rib wear is mostly the issue. The car didn't receive rotation, air pressure and 4 wheel alignment often enough. A set of tires and correction can solve that portion. Since he didn't ask for his old rotors, you can save them for another customers rainy day? Whatever. When the man says what he wants, write up your recommendation, but do what he says. Within safe practice, right? He wants to listen to erroneous generalized advice from elsewhere. That's how I have had to view similar situations. ( Diameter is across the circle, width is the outside thickness, side to side) That's not a brake micrometer. The unworn chamfer area is adding to the measure. But not definitive here. And don't put faith in external gauges. You saw where the actual point of pad wear exists from normal braking. It's one end of the inner pad. I told the truth on this for years and the kids they hired told them the external check, causing discreppancy in the customer file. You can believe trainees if you want. I even invested my own time and tools to show them. Didn't seem to help. Now I know how Trump feels. The tire work will be done by a low bidder. It will still need the cause for that addressed. Let's hope they are careful and correct like your wheel and lugnut care. Nice work on this one.

  17454. Ray, Those Sap-On lights suck. Try the Astro light way better, has a stronger neodymium magnet that stays put and is about 100% brighter than those overpriced Snap-on POS. lol :) Loved the video brother. Said vehicle not only needs new tires with a proper balance, but a wheel alignment to correct that bad alignment. This customer needs to rotate the tires at proper intervals. Oh and proper tire air pressure.

  17456. Did you hear about the guy who kept a rental he was using for Uber idling for 3 weeks so the remote ignition cut off couldn't activate? Imagine buying it not knowing since odometer would seem normal. Obviously the oil would be fine since it wasn't 3 months or 6k miles😂.

  17458. I worked for GE for about 8 or 9 months at one of their mfr. plants. During August they closed the plant for a week. If you worked for them for a year you got 1 week of leave (vacation). If not,it was tough $hit. I looked for a job as soon as I found that out and left GE as soon as I could.

Excellent work in the video man, keep it up. I wish I had the skills and knowledge you have. I’m leaning as I go little by little. Subbed.

    1
  17488.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  it does! It's called watch or don't watch. the other option is for the critics to post videos of how they deal with issues like that. Please don't stop what you're doing. You inspire people to pick up spanner and have a go.

  17489.  @andrewmcdonald9674  I have tried this and there is no room to do the procedure with enough force to cut the stud. You would be there for hours and remember the lug and stud are loose and turning so good luck them staying still when you start to cut them. They will spin.

  17492. I personally like your videos a lot, Ray. I think you are very good at your trade and very resourceful. I also like how you are not cussing all the time, only when it is appropriate. The true mark of a professional. Unfortunately, you will always have f*ing! douchebag haters like Orion77. You also handle the negative comments well. Another great video
    1
  17493.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  I am searching thread for the part where Orion explains how they would go about removing the cross-threaded wheel lug, it's such a "straight forward" procedure, surely they can explain how it is done. Haven't found the procedure yet....

  17506. rethink the wind direction. Depending on what side of the storm you are can vary all over the place. A direct hit would first be from the east and then from the west.

  17529. I had doubts about those tap-con’s, but circling the wagons and throwing straps across the middle, hell yeah! Clean and sanitize the bathtub and fill it with water, cook a big pot of chili and drink a Guinness or several. Find that old motorcycle helmet and wear it if you have to go out in the wind.

  17570. Spilling the new oil, that was funny
    1
  17571. It’s a little harder with an awd model as you have to lower the front differential
    1
  17572. I am starting to love this Channel. It is so full of entertainment. The earlier Engines had issues with the Pick Up Tube O-Rings. You may have just created that issue on a Late Model. Instead of hand feeding the tube into the Oil pump at the correct angle, you did the absolute worst thing possible. Let it hang from Vertical studs and run the angled tube in with a bolt. (It is all good, a new pinched O-Ring will still seal good enough to get out of "Retail Store Special" Warranty.) When that thing starts to harden and shrink, it will act like a 2000 to 2003 that sucks air. by the way, the better Aftermarket Gaskets are Victor Reinz. Their Pan Gaskets are set up like the OEM. You can rivet them to the pan like factory and not screw around with dropping bolts that you failed at keeping aligned. What do I know? I don't work at a place that has a Napa Auto Care Center Banner "Retail Store Special" that uses Carquest Filters etc... Yeah, I noticed the glove that was wrapped around the Oil Filter. Now your description: Never heard of a "Friend Crankshaft Seal". The Front is clearly not the issue. You are doing it under Warranty. That proves that someone at your shop screwed it up the 1st time. No Mechanic wants to do the work that someone has screwed up over again. I don't care if you are hourly and get paid regardless... I am in that Boat. I fix others crap all the time and still get paid, can not do it without an Attitude. I am willing to bet that you screwed the 1st repair and were forced to do it again. Last side note, Oil Cooler Adapter Gaskets should be Multi Layered Steel. The one you took off and installed are junk....

  17589. Ray, let's keep it real for just one day. You are too freaking happy everyday and for once it would be great to see you throw wrenches, make up never heard before compound swear words and kick heavy things that ultimately hurt your foot. It feels good Ray and my wrenches now live in the woods.

  17602. loctite 545 is what you want for air fittings. Just a drop on the threads and it'll never leak. None of the PITA of tape or messy like pipe dope.

  17603. Welcome to the hydraulic press channel! I recommend looking them up for some destructive fun.
    1
  17604. Well ,QUICK get the camera ,i see a KODAK MOMENT COMING!!! haha And i can tell you safety glasses WONT help when or if the socket explodes.If your lucky the pieces will end up in your forehead or cheek.Anyone that has experience with hyd presses KNOW the pucker power of those things. When you have a gauge on the line 500-1500 lbs and your parts move no problem.BUT when the gauge starts climbing pass 2000 lbs it rises fast. At 6000 and up that's when you get A 1" plywood shield at 10,000 you get behind the nearest car or hover behind your tool box.I been there.After having a cast iron part explode at 12,000 psi and a piece shoot straight out a 90* degrees to the back into the wall,whenever i heard the pump then snap noise of parts sticking then moving,i GO FOR A COFFEE BRAKE!!!haha

  17605. Why I love my big C press tool. And heat is your friend

  17606.  @BoB-Dobbs_leaning-left  I just personally like the feeling of a manual press, I can feel everything it’s doing with each pump yanno

  17607. Air over hydraulic is fine, air driven hydraulic pump, but air alone is asking for trouble if you go over a few pounds.
    1
  17608. I F'ing HATE press in bearings. You always have to cut the outer race off the hub after you press it out. They always take longer than you get paid. They're a flat rate money loser. F 'em!

    1
  17612. Law enforcement could use some reform 😢 but abolishing them isn't th answer! Better training and holding to high standards is still the best solution. Having a civilian oversight group could help!!😮

  17641. Love your comments on corporate America, but it's just a small part of what's going on in this part of our lives. Something more important,is more sinister players at play.
    1
  17642. You missed the fact of corporations like Walmart and all others asking us to give to a charity of their choosing, taking full advantage of the tax breaks given to them for donating all that money of which not a penny comes out of their very deep very rich pockets. It's a scam. So please do NOT donate thru Walmart or any other company, make a direct donation to that or any other charity. Sorry for going on and on....
    1
  17643. Your attitude towards corporate seems very similar to most peoples attitudes towards mechanics. Hard to have confidence when there are so many who rip people off. Once you find someone/ business that seems to actually do a good job they have a return customer.

  17683. At what point is the engine too far gone for service? Just curious. I've seen you service 200k miles and such, (gas not deisel). Is there an actual point where you'd write it off on an car?
    1
  17684. Did you run that van without oil? You stated your waiting for the sealant to cure. Then talked about installing the dip stick tube? I dunno maybe I missed you refilling the engine with oil.

    1
  17701. Ya nearly threw me off but, I counted 16 bolts on that cover. No, I did not lose count but, when you started rattling off different numbers I found it really hard to stay with the actual count. At least I'm pretty sure I kept accurate track. Your "whiz, oops, no bolt there" also didn't help. I wouldn't bother "double clicking" them but, I would go around them a second time after doing them all. Got to admit, I'm not keen on the look of that air filter. I may be wrong but, you've noticed they travel dirt regularly and from my screen it looks pretty dirty. I do appreciate the fact Mitsubishi seem to have actually tried to consider after sales repairs in the way they designed those cars, I hope the rest of their line is similarly considered.
    1
  17702. Morning Ray.. Eric O mentioned you this am during his Caddy engine removal.. lol

  17747. Ahh! Troy stay purty!
    1
  17748. Just a hi from France and have yourself a great day too, Mr. Ray
    1
  17749. Vegas doesn't actually offer any "gambling" anymore. Instead, they use a proven system where people good at math remove money from people that aren't!

  17750. Dropping comment here.

  17751. It exists because guys like us keep fixing them

  17752. Troy has a sense of humor... My judgement from the last video stands, he's awesome! Don't deny my power, I'm a random pleb Internet nobody! He me roar!

  17755. I forgot the montana existed 😂

  17756. Hey there is a Troy in the shop and all of a sudden the vault of viscosity is neatly stacked instead of piled up.
    1
  17757. Hey Ray :)
    1
  17758. I've noticed 90% of all videos you do is "I didn't plan on making a video on this, but" 😂 (and glad you do) PS: DO DO DOOO DO DOO!
    1
  17759. At 6:38: Whoa, that was a scary one... let's do it again 😅
    1
  17760. That was scary one , let’s do it again lol
    1
  17761. GOOD MORNING RAY! Roger in Pierre South Dakota
    1
  17762. Lol@ that was scary- let's do it again.
    1
  17763. "wow, that was a scary one! .....let's do it again." lol
    1
  17764. Hello and good morrow sir.
    1
  17765. Comment, That's a scary one let's do it again.
    1
  17766. "... that was a scary one... Let's do it again..." TRUE Rainman Ray style!!
    1
  17767. Dang, I'm a noobie subscriber. Some times when you talk Ray you sound like Johnny Bravo. Keep on doing it, like the content.
    1
  17768. Loved the shade tree pun - very good!
    1
  17769. I love FIREHOUSE SUBS!
    1
  17770. Broken motor mounts indicates a driver drives abusively😏
    1
  17771. Fourth
    1
  17772. We all knew sooner or later Ray's gonna go out of control and do a rebuild.
    1
  17773. 22:39 Typically I only see that in those Pakistani repair videos.. 🤣
    1
  17774. Might be better to sand-blast frame. 39° sounds chilly for Florado, but good news is, next week colder air is on it's way!!!!!! Maybe the reason why your sick is all them blanking shots you got in past couple years, or maybe you only got 36 shots and need 36 more, but the real good news is, RFK is going to MAHA.......
    1
  17775. "Rainman Ray goes AVE in unboxing video!" IYKYK. 😂
    1
  17776. I bet Eric was laughing to him self when he was boxing that engine brilliant 😂
    1
  17777. I have to say that this is the first time I've seen anybody use a Death Wheel on strapping!
    1
  17778. Put the Amsoil Signature Series in and that engine will live forever!
    1
  17779. I was going to say “Excessive” until I saw you use a skid steer to move 5 lbs of lumber.
    1
  17780. Only you could produce a video that has its viewers watch you take out a zillion screws, and still enjoy it!
    1
  17781. The relay may have been spliced in because the TPIM solder joints were bad and they couldn't get another. The TPIM on these vehicles can be a major issue.
    1
  17782. If you've ever witnessed R+L Carriers in action, you know why Eric built the shipping crate like Fort Knox.
    1
  17783. is this motor with leaky oil cooler design?
    1
  17784. Good thing he didn't use nails 😂
    1
  17785. you need blue
    1
  17786. Forks should be flat on the ground, but you can still trip over them. :) Nice job by We do Cars. Thank you.
    1
  17787. RAY YOU GOT SCREWED ON TWO LEVELS,THE UN BOXING...AND A PENTASTAR!!!!! LOL
    1
  17788. I havent laughed this hard on a video in a long time! Its trashday!, tripping on the fork!
    1
  17789. 17 minutes - at this point, I'd be alert for a glitter bomb.
    1
  17790. I think I get the title now.
    1
  17791. I can hear Eric laughing his butt off as he watches this video
    1
  17792. I have been waiting for this for a long time. The reason I became a member was to help, even if only a little bit, recoup the costs of your work for this family. Also, next time you send anything to Eric, make sure you use just as many screws, but alternate between hex, torx, flat head, and Phillips head. Let the war begin!
    1
  17793. Its a shame @rainmanraysrepairs didnt remove the engine and then show us the rebuilt box being taken apart by the forklift or being accidentally dropped before showing the real video lol
    1
  17794. I know you may have been apprehensive about striking out on your own but I hope it's been worth it because from here it looks that way.
    1
  17795. I saw your OEM Honda oil filters I sent you in the closet. Put them on the wife unit
    1
  17796. Thanks
    1
  17797. You got an overheating GoPro again. I think it's worth a try on the next insanely hot day, to take out the GoPro's battery and to power it using a powerbank. Seeing yesterday's GoPro covered in airco goop, sticking Raspberry heatsinks to it does not seem to be a good idea anymore.
    1
  17798. did you put c pin back on other side lmbo
    1
  17799. Ilove how when one of your kids especially your little girl how you play the xfiles music i get a good laugh out of that.
    1
  17800. Shop is looking a lot better
    1
  17801. Tidy up stuff 😂😂😂😂 yeah right
    1
  17802. Hi Troy.... or Hi Troy's torso and legs.
    1
  17803. Not a hater or troll but why not try the impact on the fucked lugs? just curious.
    1
  17804. Rain man Ray the lugnut surgeon!!!
    1
  17805. It seems, like as most things, they don’t make things like they used to! All this aluminum to save weight doesn’t cut when it comes to people who don’t know what they are doing, attempting to either tighten or loosen lug nuts. And then it is up to you to rectify the situation with EXTREME PREJUDICE! As they say. HAVE A GREAT DAY! Roger in Pierre South Dakota
    1
  17806. It's the stupid lug nuts . I've seen them torqued and following year they seize. The stupid plastic over top and the type of metal they use sucks. They should use the old school chrome ones. Never have issues. I'm sometimes able to get them loose with a zip gun .
    1
  17807. Nice. I'm going through this on my truck now. I'm doing new rotors and pads all the way around. I got one wheel with two lugs stuck. Not the lugs for the wheel but I have 1" spacers to make room for slightly larger tires and I can't get the two lugs off the spacer to change the rotors. I can't imagine why two are so tight. I put them on myself to the specified torque specs. I got one of those kits with with the sockets that bite and a torque multiplier. One that you turn 4 times to get one turn. Plan to try that with a breaker bar. If that doesn't work I already got a new wheel spacer. They are aluminum so I'll just cut it off with an angle grinder at which point I will be able to spin the stuck lugs with my fingers. LOL
    1
  17808. @2:45 reminded me of when I was trying to loosen a crankshaft bolt for a Honda pilot 2006. I put a breaking bar on it and a "torque multiplier" and then I had another person hammering the head of the breaking bar. That is the only way I could break it loose.
    1
  17809. I know you prolly heard this before ray but you should give Milwaukee power tools a try, I promise you will not be disappointed, they are top notch.
    1
  17810. sheez those where in there,i have never seen it that bad xd
    1
  17811. You poor man and lug nuts lately. There’s still time to become a plumber, least you wouldn’t have to deal with this kind of shit. 🤔
    1
  17812. I have run into this exact problem with this same model with these same wheels, twice. Those lug nuts are horrible and the metal caps make them off-sized.
    1
  17813. Interesting title the dealer can't fix it but you can 🤦‍♂️
    1
  17814. 'The security feature is that you need a special socket'. Bronco Billy; 'No it's not. The security feature is torquing it to 2500 ft-lbs.
    1
  17815. I dunno who was trying to get those lugs off, but they scratched the hell outta that driver's side wheel!
    1
  17816. How in the hell ya know what i dobt even wanna know..
    1
  17817. Brooooo I need to see this
    1

  17827. Hey Ray. Just wanted to stop by and say, MAKE MORE VIDEOS!!! The more the better. Personally, I can’t get enough. You’re teaching people valuable skills and doing your “good deed of the day” every time you post. Thanks for everything!!!
    1
  17828. Hey Ray. Just wanted to stop by and say, MAKE MORE VIDEOS!!! The more the better. Personally, I can’t get enough. You’re teaching people valuable skills and doing your “good deed of the day” every time you post. Thanks for everything!!!

  17835. 2 gal of gas would have been better thats just nasty

  17836. REEEEEEE. saw it last week. Lol.

  17840. Like the intro, my son used to use those for his YouTube channel
    1
  17841. Was that kid cudi?
    1
  17842. Ray's PT Fake-Truck Cruiser Clinic. May I help you? Did you notice the flippity-floppity sound when the engine is cranking? Sounds like a compression problem. I get the idea this car is a can of worms.
    1
  17843. Pour gasoline on it and light a match.
    1
  17844. Hey Ray, Eric O digged you yesterday doing a front wheel bearing replacement..when removing the Hub assy he said "that was about as easy as working on a car in florida"...lol. (he still cant speak right after his dental work...lol) dig on him next time! Lol👍😎😁
    1
  17845. Ain't got no gas in it.

  17846. @ 3:41 great Robocop pun! ( Original R rated Robocop because the R stands for Robocop ) 😎
    1
  17847. "Get yur nuts off" lol
    1
  17848. Always informative videos. I am sure you have heard this, but people will pay a premium for quality work. And word of mouth is very effective and growing a customer base. What I’m saying is, you need to take the plunge and start your own business. I had a mechanic that worked at a local garage and like you was very honest and great at his job. That is not always the case. Anyway, he now has a thriving company in the same town and business is very very good. Just think about it. You will kill it and we all know money does not make happiness, but it sure helps.
    1
  17849. Great entertainment, my wife doesn't understand
    1
  17850. Wow, jumped 5k in 24 hours. Your Top Tier. Persevere.....Aloha.
    1
  17851. Gotta love an OCD mechanic.
    1
  17852. Either start prepping or get out. Those are the two options right now. Both options require calmness.
    1
  17853. I was in Publix this morning getting water. See you on the other side brotha!
    1
  17854. Ryan Hall says it best. “Don’t be scared. Be prepared.”
    1
  17855. Critical Thinking Objective Reasoning Common Sense. It’s a Lifestyle.
    1
  17856. I know it's just words but good luck out there to you and yours Ray
    1
  17857. 'ZACKLY!!! I live about 90Mi south of you, so we're in the same mode right now. This thing STILL isn't moving. It's just sitting and growing. They're predicting a cat4 by landfall now. If it doesn't start moving soon, I think it could reach a CAT5 by that time myself. There's nothing 'unfavorable' for that. Although we've prepared, (generators and fuel ready, kids tied-down, safety squints engaged and mother on speed-dial), these storms are NEVER to be underestimated! We're going on vacation immediately after it passes, if we and and the property survive... I'm so done with this hurricane season!!! See ya on the other side, Ray! Praying for y'all. Please pray for us.
    1
  17858. You got me. I thought "that's a real dick move, wtf is wrong with you today??" Well done, sir. (tips hat)
    1
  17859. i realy enjoy your vids
    1
  17860. You got me good I was angry watching the deliberate vandalism I was also confused as I have watched a few of your videos and had you as a good person and mechanic
    1
  17861. Blue locktite? Those customers get red all day long....

  17865. Greatest. Intro. Ever.
    1
  17866. Thanks!
    1
  17867. I bought a super scraper, on your recommendation, and it changed my life.
    1
  17868. Another great video. That must have been one hella pot hole. Sorry couldn't resist
    1
  17869. You got me. All the time i see Mechanics like you putting anti-seize, grease, and what ever on things to help the next guy out. Then i see the beginning of this video and think "WTF is he doing?" . Yes, you really did get me with that. But after watching so many of your video's i should have known better. "CLICK". New subscriber :-)
    1
  17870. Ray, I do really enjoy your video’s. I said once before that you seem to have just a ton of experience. I am always amazed at your breadth of knowledge. But mostly I am amazed at you. Your patience is outstanding. Your ego is always held in place in spite of your ability. You are a rare one Ray. Never change and keep up the video’s.
    1
  17871. I'm so happy you were clowning us. I know it sucks when customers do that but it's no excuse to mess with their car
    1
  17872. From a former street racer, I will disclose a known street racer secret.. A yellow oil pan add 50 HORSE POWER...!!!! * Do not repeat this secret * If you do, we will find you.. !!!! FOR THE FAMILY..!!!!
    1
  17873. You got me, my jaw actually dropped 😳. I did not even know who's channel i was watching until you started showing the front end damage. I would definitely not say it was click bait. Love your content, we'll keep breaking them if you keep fixing them 😆.
    1
  17874. And by pot hole they meant telephone pole? 😂
    1
  17875. rubasu🤣🤣
    1
  17876. hahahahaha that intro
    1
  17877. you did get me. doh
    1
  17878. 8:16 "Everything is in the way of everything.." that pretty much sums up a Subaru.
    1
  17879. Intro was THE BEST ! 🤣
    1
  17880. LOL "Its my first day!" Love that quote!
    1
  17881. Ah, nothing malicious about the correct torque of the drain plug!😂
    1
  17882. Tappy Tap .
    1
  17883. Have you gotten your 100k subscriber award from YouTube yet? I'd like to see it.
    1
  17884. i knew that drain plug had to be a joke
    1
  17885. First 10 seconds,, HA HA HA HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    1
  17886. I'm actually impressed the drain plug didn't strip. Red loctite would have been better. You ALMOST got me. I kept watching with the thought, "... this ain't Ray; he wouldn't do that... often."
    1
  17887. Outstanding video and I really enjoy your approach to your work.
    1
  17888. That drain plug is never coming off! lol
    1
  17889. That must have been some BIIIIIIG pothole
    1
  17890. Like the AvE drop. Came across him bout a year ago and “shmoo” seems to come out of my mouth on a regular basis.
    1
  17891. Lol you did get me
    1
  17892.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  you are in the right as long as you don't go to the same low level as bad customers. Very good videos, I like the format a lot. Learned a lot from these. I have been watching a couple Russian mechanics and people do some really crazy stuff with their cars there. Quite dangerous honestly
    1
  17893. That right angle impact driver is a VERY useful tool
    1
  17894. Love the opening! You had me going there for a while….😳
    1
  17895. Thanks for getting me pissed ha ha ha it take me a day to cool down thankd
    1
  17896. You are having way too much fun with that right angle impact!!! Nice!
    1
  17897. I am still laughing at the drain plug!!
    1
  17898. arent those castle nuts supposed to have cotter pins? let alone be hand tight...
    1
  17899. I found your channel about two months ago and I’m addicted. Great work and great commentary.
    1
  17900. i really like the videos.. retired mechanic... thanks
    1
  17901. I use to be a mechanic and i have to say your style and attitude is similar to mine .love your Chanel dude!
    1
  17902. "AvE drop" bro... you use a ton of his terminology schmoo was the least of it . 😂
    1
  17903. It totally was
    1
  17904. Omg ray is absolutely one of the best mechanics on youtube he is awesome. Absolutely says what he means and means what he says.
    1
  17905. First day of vacation. Slept in until 9am. Made a Coffee. New Ray video posted (hooray!). Watched said video, tappy-tapped the like button and will now enjoy the rest of said day. Thanks Ray!
    1
  17906. The intro fooled me :P
    1
  17907. S A V A G E LAWL
    1
  17908. It's not often I'm laughing within the first 30 seconds of a video. Nicely done!!
    1
  17909. I hate it when pot holes jump up and smash the front of your car for no reason.
    1
  17910. Damn what did they run over a gaggle of gators ?
    1
  17911. 29:06 "You lose fuel pump, you lose" - my first thought, oh you are going to regret saying that :face-orange-biting-nails: ... 30:03 Wrong Pump - Called it 😁
    1
  17912. "Russian components American components all made in TAIWAN!!! "
    1
  17913. I want to see you knock down the WALL! With a skid steer 😂 it will be epic! 🎉
    1
  17914. I literally stopped one of your other videos in order to click this notification the instant it came up! Mid-morning uploads are always short and sweet. I can go right back
    1
  17915. Never say never
    1
  17916. 😂🤪👍
    1
  17917. at least 1 TD from me
    1
  17918. 🤣
    1
  17919. Freezing rain man today
    1
  17920. Oh no
    1
  17921. Mr funny man
    1
  17922.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  Are you sure that's enough Ray? We don't want that cap turning round from being too loose and becoming the 710 cap. Better find a torque multiplier and add some extra 'clicks'... Can't be too careful.
    1
  17923. No Bluetooth funnel for you today Raymond. Hahahaha
    1
  17924. HAHAHAHA how can I stop laughing??????????
    1
  17925. I’m first 😂
    1
  17926. that belt was slipping as bad as my belt after a trip thru a buffet!
    1
  17927. A note does not qualify as a valid lock-out-tag-out device. Need to disable the energy source. OSHA visit anyone?
    1
  17928. 3:46 I think you meant dihydrogen monoxide, rather than hydrogen dioxide?
    1
  17929. I love the poetry at the start of the video! 😂
    1
  17930. "I just saw the angle on the threads" - No you heard us all yelling at the screen!
    1
  17931. To be pedantic, water would be di-hydrogen oxide, not hydrogen dioxide...
    1
  17932. H2O is technically Di Hydrogen Oxide. Otherwise perfect as usual.
    1
  17933. Not hydrogen dioxide (HO2) but dihydrogen oxide (H20) ;-)
    1
  17934. Water is actually di-hydrogen monoxide
    1
  17935. Dihydrogen monoxide.
    1
  17936. are you going to hook up that ground wire?
    1
  17937. Additional fun fact...while the extension of the cylinder will have more power the retract will be faster. Just FYI 😊
    1
  17938. I thought you were joking about the ratcheting line wrench until I looked it up. I'll be damned, they do exist lol.
    1
  17939. It's called a "Steering Control Valve" just for your viewing public.
    1
  17940. Well, it’s definitely a LOT easier than the CTS. 😂😂
    1
  17941. The only thing I got from this video is that you have new hydraulic lines that came with the kit.
    1
  17942. Hmmm... wonder if he got new lines with the kit...
    1
  17943. You know A Rod is a good friend when he cleans up you dog's pee.
    1
  17944. Ray - I don't remember, did you get new hydraulic lines for this job?
    1
  17945. @RainmanRaysRepairs - For everybody getting their panties in a bunch about this episode, my guess is things are not what they appear. Since the cold air intake runs $429 new from Banks, the wholesale price is likely around $215 ish. My guess is Banks likely sent this item to Ray gratis for the basically free exposure on Ray's channel of a product line that Ray uses and supports. As a result, it is a win-win for everybody. I know if I was in Ray's position, I would be very judicious about the products I promoted on my channel, since a personal reputation is at stake. Clearly Ray likes and uses Banks products, so promoting them is a no-brainer. It is also important to use the link he provided to access Bank's products for two reasons. First, you will likely get a discount on any products you buy, but more importantly, it tracks any referrals Ray makes as a result of this and other videos regarding Banks performance upgrades. This will allow Banks to monitor the effectiveness of their advertising and referrals. It is how the world works and is what makes capitalism great.

  17946. My guy is hooking Javier up ! Sick !

  17951. HOT AIR intake is exactly right. Try some thermocouples on a data logger. People would be shocked to see exactly how hot the air coming is, is! Total sham.

  17952. You knew you shouldn’t have installed those cheap parts! You have to maintain your standards and your shop’s standards. Your reputation matters. If your customers can’t afford the quality or premium parts let them go to mechanics who don’t care and are only interested in money. All money isn’t good money.

  17960. Okay I don’t know if you’re going to read this or not, but I want to say, “You have no idea how much I appreciate your channel. I’ve been with you now for years, and have felt blessed that I could be on this journey with you, and your family. The knowledge that you have taught me, you have inspired and gave me the confidence, not only to learn more, but to put that knowledge to real use. My old 1994 Chevy Silverado was really starting to show her age, now with a little elbow grease, a few do-ta-does, and inspiration, I get compliments on her all the time, and she runs like a Swiss watch.” I look forward to many, many more years watching your show, it truly has become a big part of my own journey. Thank you.

  17961. It's still me time just more productive

  17962. You go, Ray. Do what you do. I've watched you since about a year before you transitioned from the last repair shop you were in. You Sir have insipired me to do the same. I am currently getting everything together to start.

  17963. You keep it real Ray,not a bunch of hype. Thank you for that.

  17964. Love watching your videos! Great mechanic with a great family!!

  17965. Great vid, Ray. We appreciate you (and Lauren), too! 😎

  17966. Ray I havnt been watching your channel for too long. But I stumbled upon your channel and I can say as long as you are on here doing what you do, I'll be here supporting you! Not only being a mechanic is a full time job, but producing content is a full time job. Iv been in a position before that I didn't have much time at home. So make sure you take time for the family and be there for them. But I think I can speak for most of the people on here, we want you to grow and do what you do. Lol as a backyard mechanic, I have my 5 or 6 customers that come to me cause they know I do them right and I'm not here to steal their money. But I want to be a better mechanic just watching how handle yourself. And for that I thank you!
    1
  17967. Your show have been thee one thing on YouTube that I look forward to watching every day. Keep doing you cause believe it or not you are touching people lives every day. One love

  17968. I started watching to figure out how to change an oil cooler line and have not looked back! Learned a lot, bought some new tools I have no idea how I survived without (angry man pliers!)...keep it up and you do you Ray!

  17970. Thanks! I never miss any of your videos and even though I made my living all of my adult life as a Licensed Aircraft Mechanic and did minor and major work on my own cars I still learn things from you. I don't always agree with some of the things I see you doing, but that is to be expected I think. You have come a long way in the last couple of years and I hope you and shop continue to grow.
    1
  17971. Wish I could high-five you right now dude.

  17972. Aw shucks Ray, you almost got me choked up today. You possess a fine level of knowledge coupled with a great personality. You also bring levity to your videos, making the watching an overall rewarding experience. Good job, buddy, and keep up the good work and channel.

  17975. I first saw your video posting that you got fired. I watched it and then every video before it and after it. Your journey has transformed swimmingly and with the help of Wife Unit and Dave as well as Jesus you will continue to grow. I like to work on my own things when I can and you cover things that help me and therefore my family also. I will always watch what you post as well as the second channel and Wife units offerings. Great Job!
    1
  17976. I watched you when you were in the shops, and I can tell that your quality of life and work has been throughly improved by your decision! People like you are what this country needs! I’m sorry to say that I probably won’t get to see the country, and people turn the corner, to make America what it has the potential to be! Whatever your beliefs, I think if everyone would stop for a second, and put yourself the the persons shoes, that you’re interacting with, we could be better!

  17977. You've come a long way, Ray. It's been fun watching progress to where you are today. Plus it's always nice to see Lauren. 😃
    1
  17978. Glad you realize your impact. And thanks for it! Not being sarcastic here or minimizing the impact you've had but the number of people I know that say "Click" when tightening a fastener is huge. Thanks again Ray for being you.
    1
  17979. i found your channel during covid, despite you working at the dealership, i thought for sure it was your shop, and was surprised when you were fired. i am very glad that you now have your own shop and that you share your you time with all of us by making us these great videos.
    1
  17980. I’m not crying, YOU’RE crying….
    1
  17981. Ray, watching this video now reminded me of the first time I ever saw one of your videos! I remember I was sitting on the couch scrolling through YouTube and I came across a video titled "customer states: replaced engine, still stalling!" So I clicked on it and after about 2 minutes of watching it, I thought this guy is hilarious and where has he been at all this time! And after watching more of your videos I saw that you were one hell of a mechanic and a teacher! The way that you can brake down complicated repairs in a way that people like me can understand and at the same time make it interesting and fun to watch! I know that at least me personally has learned so much from you over the past 2 years and has definitely made me a better home mechanic. There are things that i have planned to work on, on my truck that i would have never dreamed of tackling before. My main job is a builder but like most people i have to try and keep this old truck on the road somehow. And to see you go from working a 9 to 5 and being miserable, to seeing you open up your own shop has been awesome! You are one of the reasons why I decided to leave my 9 to 5 and start my own construction company. And it has been the best choice I've made in a long time. I can relate to the not having "me time" any more I too have had to give alot of it up! Anybody that tells you owning your own business is easy is a lier! But a year and a half later I haven't looked back and it's nice to see you haven't etheir! Congratulations on how far you've made it man!🎉 it's only up from here! You and wife unit are awesome! Ray, I'm looking forward to seeing where life takes you from here! I'll be along for the ride man! No PRESSURE THOUGH 😂😂!!! You and the family deserve it! Stay safe and God bless!!
    1
  17982. Ya made me cry Ray... dont do it again.. A-Rod made me cry when he quit... and THAT was ugly... we are here for you as well.. and even when A-rod shows up.... you, Lauren, A-rod, Dave, jesus... we love you all... keep it real Bro.. 😎👍❤️

  17984. Ray I started watching your videos when you was at the dealership I can see that she left the dealership you are more happier now that you have been since you left the dealership you get to spend more time with your family

  17985. Ray good video I’ve been watching since 2022 and I feel I have grown in my mechanical skills ever since I started watching your channel. Prior to seeing your videos I was only doing tune ups oil changes and brakes on my personal vehicles. Now my go to them is WWRD?? Then search your channel cause 9-10 u done one already. Now I’m dropping trannys,rebuilding and swapping motors in my garage. Thanks for sharing your knowledge Ray.

  17986. Most of all make time for your family. One day you will wake up and the kids are grown up. This age of you kids are the wonder years. I have twin boys and 2 girls, and I did everything with my kids. I woke up one day and the nest was empty.

  17987. The first video I ever watched of yours was the one you posted right before you quit the Chevy dealership. You’ve only gotten better. Thanks for the quality content.

  17988. And you’ve got a heck of a supportive wife. I’ve got the same!

  17989. You put a lot on the line by starting your own business Ray, but you've worked hard mate and you wife unit have made it. Congratulations to both of you. But please take some ME time out even if its an hour or two. Aussie Graham.

  17990. Hey Ray, I want to personally thank you and yours, Dave and Jesus for your putting your all into this, with all of the negatively in the world today, you don't know how refreshing it is to come home after a long day, get a hot meal, hot shower a cup of coffee crawl into bed with my wife unit and watch your videos, so keep doing what you do best.
    1
  17991. Welcoming back!
    1
  17992. Here's the way I look at it, Ray... "You can get a good look at a T-Bone by sticking your head up the bull's ass, but wouldn't you rather trust the butcher?" Keep making great content, and I will try not to stick my head up a bull's ass.
    1
  17993. Don't pass on the kid time. I found myself out of a job at about your age and wife was doing well in her career. I spent a couple of Mr Mom years and I have never regretted it. Kids grow up fast. Now my kids are your age (scary, isn't it) and I'm 70. Life has been good. I enjoy working on cars and I'm pleased to have been along for the ride since the dealership days.
    1
  17994. Ray, hou have a talent for storytelling. You could flip burgers and deliver a meaningful and engaging narrative. If you catered strictly to entertainment you could already have that gold plaque. You are genuine--not perfect, and not scripted, but real.
    1
  17995. I enjoy learning from your videos and love it when you do something "wrong", just to give us a "GOTCHA" a few minutes later in the video. Keeps us on our toes. Thank you.
    1
  17996. Appreciate the technical content and the "how to" stuff. Best part is you make it feel like hanging out with a friend. 6:14
    1
  17997. You're the man Ray! You do inspire and your channel is amazing, it's a combination of comic relief, inspiration, and knowledge. "Have fun Learning with the RAINMAN!" Your channel has the most authentic content, seriously! Watching you grind, figure shit out, and getting it done. I love that you work on so many different types of vehicles and your side projects! Love watching you work on the ole DIRTY MAX! Shoot, she ain't a FORD but still love watching you do your thing! Lol😂 keep it up, YOU SHOULD BE SOOO PROUD! You took that leap and rightly so, you're DOING IT! Cheers to you 🍾🥂
    1
  17998. Believe me when I say this but, ever since i started watching your videos for the last 2-3 years I have gone from taking my car to the shop for an oil change to now being able to do my own timing belt, water pumps, fixing oil leaks, suspensions, etc. I have been able to accomplish things i never I thought I was capable of. You my friend have definitely inspired me a lot. Now I am able to help others when I can. Thank you!

  17999. well said Dude and verifies what I have suspected since I subscribed a long time ago! Great work keep it up!!!

  18000. You are loved by a lot of people. Your ethics are a step above. You and the wife unit are family. I can't wait for your videos to pop up. Having done all my own mechanic work on my vehicles, your tips, tricks and shenanigans 😂 have helped in so many ways. You deserve everything you have accomplished.
    1
  18001. I'm sure glad I stumbled upon your videos. It makes my day a little bit brighter!
    1
  18002. Personally, I wake up everyday looking forward to watching your videos while drinking my coffeeee and eating breakfast. Typically Mondays are my least enjoyable as you generally don't post a new video. The days when you were out sick generally were downer days i am really grateful I found your channel Keep up the great job you do your ethics snd desire each task correctly is commendable. Look forward to you doing this for a really long time. I've learned a lot from you and respect you tremendously

  18003. You know Ray I’m a team member here at O’reillys in Las Vegas Nevada and I’ve been watching your videos for the past two years and believe it or not you’re teaching and knowledge on procedures and parts and stuff like that has helped me out tremendously so personally I want to thank you for sharing your knowledge with us and I hope you and your family have a blessed day and that this continues for a long long time
    1
  18004. As a viewer who has watched since your time at the dealership, I have learned a ton of things from you and have even put some of it to use in my own vehicle. Thank you Ray. Keep being you :)

  18005. There was only one other mechanic in my life who was as awesome as you are but we called him dad !!! He is no longer with us but watching you lets me relive every minute I got to spend with my dad in his shop !!! Carry on with the awesome content and Thank You !! In between Toronto and Niagara Falls
    1
  18006. Best thing that happened to you (after your wife and kids), Ray, was your decision to start your own shop and get those annoying, and useless, "Service Advisors" / "Managers" out of your life. It's weird to watch some of your old videos to see how badly those situations, at both the dealer and the following shop, we're negatively affecting you and how little anything positive they were doing for you. Congratulations on creating a much better life for yourself (and all the others)!
    1
  18007. You are certainly very welcome Ray. I am so glad I found your channel. All the best to you and Lauren and the kids.
    1
  18008. Ray, glad I stalked you and found you at the shop so you can work on my cars and glad I feel like I’ve been on your journey from the start. It’s been amazing when I brought my truck to you to work on, sorry again for those rusty bolts you had to torch, and to see where you are today. You’re a stand up guy with a wonderful family as well, so glad I had the opportunity to meet. All you’ve done is created monsters in all of us that now we can’t go a day without a Ray video and that worry about you when you don’t put one out. Please keep doing what you’re doing, and as my Girlfriend from Chicago would say, you do good things, Good Karma comes your way!

  18015. 13:59 Exactly. I can't stand that shit. You can be a Patriot and not racist, in fact most patriots are against racism. Honestly If that were my shop and I saw that I would have assured the owner of the car that I do not hire racists but a fellow Patriot would be performing the work on the car. And you're right, usually the ones screaming racism are the racists. I would write with a permanent marker on the struts in an inconspicuous place "An American Patriot Was Here" LOL

  18020. Regarding that bumper sticker (which peeeved me off too)... Funny how echo chambers can make you think everyone is saying the same thing. Yell anything in an echo chamber and if you're stupid enough you might even think there's a majority!

  18021. I'm in total agreement with you. But they will destroy themselves soon enough. You know they sent snipers to take out hitler but they came to the conclusion that hitler would destroy nazi German faster then they could. Just like those folks, they'll destroy themselves faster then anything else could.

  18027. Pretty sure the sticker wasn’t targeted at Ray directly. If it’s not about you, it’s just about somebody else. Doesn’t have to be entirely true or entirely false. It doesn’t help that the people who are typically seen to patriot the hardest aren’t particularly understanding of, or friendly to, those with differing life experience that informs differing opinions, going so far as to deny the reality other people experience to keep their own opinions from being challenged. But hard-liners in most groups are assholes with blinders on, so what’s new? Doesn’t mean everyone with an American flag is a racist, but also doesn’t mean none are. BLANKET STATEMENT TRIGGER WARNING. Statement: don’t be a prick to other humans whether you’re a part of their group or not, and make sure you don’t sign up to any groups that are based on being a prick. Have a good one and god bless the puppies and puppy-petters of this spherical earth.

  18030.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  I'm a Latino and that bumper sticker pissed me off too. People use slurring others with racism to justify their politics. The reality is they sell the fear of racism to motivate support for their party. Democrats have segregated the University system. They convinced black students that separate housing, study areas and graduation ceremonies are progress. Democrats accomplished the goals of the Klan without wearing their white hoods.

  18031. Dude, I got called a racist because I charged someone for diagnostic work. They dumped their car at my workshop, they overheard someone saying that I didn't charge them for a code read and inspection... the person they overheard was a lady friend of mine, this person works with her and I have never met them before they turned up. They asked me to look at the faults with their car (CEL on, knocks from front suspension, exhaust blow, multiple tyres needing replacement) so I worked up a quote for them and they turned down the work because they "have an uncle that works on cars" so I just charged them a standard code read and 1/2 hr diagnostic(because I don't work for free), they threw a fit and called me a racist for charging them when I didn't charge [LadyFriend] who happens to be the same ethnicity as me.

  18065. For those unaware, the LBZ Duramax in Ray's truck was the last model year of that engine before DEF fluid became a requirement on all GM diesel trucks. That's one of several key reasons that model year Duramax is forever in demand.

  18072. Ray, I get that now you are a business owner and every penny matters, but I would have liked to see you check those wheel bearings just out of courtesy for peace of mind, especially since those new tires were wearing unevenly. It's also all about customer relations and even though they don't live around your shop, it would become a go to for them and all their traveling friends, even those of us watching, had you extended the service just a quick step further for their peace of mind on the rest of the trip. Your doing great and I'm glad to see it....I remember the day you told us you quit. So remember that the little extras for the out of towners will help a lot of people in the long run, especially when your shop becomes an ambassador for the city, and a regular place along everyone's route to know they belong. Later and A Happier New Year to you and Everyone!

My 1993 Mercedes 300CE is as tight or tighter than the hardtop version. No rattling or twisting when driving on rough roads or railroad tracks. Must be a German thing? Better built?

  18102. I've worked for many years carrying out auto electrical diagnostics, regularly asked why I didn't test the faulty component first! It's hard, slow and stressful, always taking common sense decisions, just as Ray did in this video. Very watchable Sir. UK Pete.

  18103. Now you can also see why us electricians get paid well!

  18116. I would fail that truck just because its squatted the rest look great, fun fact the actual car used in Gone in 60 Seconds Eleanor is Nicolas Cage's car
    1
  18117. Too be honest I’m not interested in this Sema content. I’m a mechanic and really enjoy your prior videos. I’m hoping your future will bring us back to that. In the meantime have fun and enjoy your freedom. It’s hard to do when you feel like you need to be out there finding a new path. I’ve been there myself
    1
  18118. So much to see! Going to hurt your neck trying to see all of that eye candy.
    1
  18119. You do you bud.

  18120. Thanks for sharing. Enjoy yourself.
    1
  18121. How can anyone "Hate" on SEMA? Unless you are there it's a special treat to see all those amazing builds.
    1
  18122. Primary concern with any car is the cup holder... everything else is a secondary consideration
    1
  18123. Would never have seen any of this without the videos. Loving it!
    1
  18124. Go see the Golden Nugget.

  18126. that is Elenor 12.0
    1
  18127. Im going out on a limb here....But I think Ray likes the trucks a bit more?
    1
  18128. I’ve heard about SEMA Show for years, but Ray has brought some of the experience to me this year and for that I am grateful. Thanks for sharing!
    1
  18129. You are technically half way to Anchorage, Alaska.... that huge ass truck would be perfect for you up here. LOL Have a blast in Vegas! You've earned it. Always wanted to attend SEMA and this is close as I'm gonna get. Thanks!!!!
    1
  18130. I'm enjoying all of your videos from your SEMA trip. Screw the haters. Stay safe!
    1
  18131. Haters can go take a long walk off a short pier..... keep doing what you do Ray, your awesome. Like a lot of folks have said, your gonna need someone to keep your new shop organised and running while you fix folks things. I'm up for a challenge You have a good one, and yeah Vegas is a real shithole if your not into Vegas money. Only been once, nope right out though the canyon is pretty awesome to see..... from helo or horseback, very cool
    1
  18132. Beautiful semi. Ray we don't have time for haters. Your on a mini vacation and doing what we dream of. In a few days your shoulders will bare the burden of shop owner and things will get crazy so let haters move on We got your 6

  18137. That is not a 1967 Shelby GT500. That is a customized 1967 Mustang fastback. I had both a 67 GT 350 and a GT500. This car has none of the Shelby attributes.

  18138. If you don.t like Rays videos. Rack off. From an Aussie i for one appreciate your videos Ray.

  18139. Entitled people hate anything....they think everyone they own everything...
    1
  18140. I had a 1968 GT 390 fastback mustang back when I was in high school in the 70's. I have two 68 coupes now. Wish I had never sold the fastback!

  18141. Enjoy SEMA for us Ray!

  18144. Now the wasps are nice and shiny

  18145. Leakdown test would verify bent valves.
    1
  18146. Probably needs a rear diff service too!
    1
  18147. Why didn't u see how much to do a valve job
    1
  18148. Bore scope or smoke. Check the tops of the pistons for dents. Put a new head on. Prob less than half the cost of a replacement eng. Less than a new car.
    1
  18149. not as bad as the 2.7 Chrysler.

  18150. Thanks!

    1
  18162. For your info Mr.Ray that engine is called Dsi (dual sequential ignition) engine Honda is doing this weird stuff from early 2000s 😅 honda is weird 😳. This particular engine setup with cvt is known to do weird shifting because of bad spark plugs and coils even throttle body clogging.and valve cover leaks are very common.

  18163. You said "THE"! HOW DARE YOU! You STOLE that from the English language!

  18188. Brake lines don't seem to spark attention, like parking brake cables, or other DIY level stuff. Lines are too much of messy pain for most. Up here, rust turns the lines into glass...
    1
  18189. So cool thanks very interesting. This is why I can't trust pep boys to do it correctly. Seems like a lot of work but worth it.
    1
  18190. 12:40 you didn’t secure this properly you needed to put more loctite on it.
    1
  18191. Thanks again for showing us how something works that most people don’t get to see. Now, not trying to be disrespectful with my next question at all, just trying to understand. I get minimum labor charges, and you should definitely be paid for the work you do, but what is the reasoning behind most shops ( at least in my area ), charging 150 bucks or more for what you just did in that video? Is it just a minimum labor charge for the time? I’ve seen lots of people refuse the service after buying a costly set of tires, because they thought it was to expensive. I drive a lot for work, thousands of miles. I just had my 2019 F150 checked a few months ago, alignment and a road force balance ( kind of a 4 wheel dyno type thing ), and it wasn’t cheap. Anyway, enough of my rambling, just wondered what your thoughts would be on that, have a great day.
    1
  18192. Very interesting video, thanks for making it.
    1
  18193. I wish I was back on a hunter alignment machine, the John beam from snap on isn’t as good and is less informative
    1
  18194. The toes have aligned
    1
  18195. Ray I don’t like you ! . I am so jealous of you. LOL. You get to work on these cars and YOU get paid for it… You are a good Mechanic. I certainly like your work ethics. Kinda of hard to find these days. Keep up the great Vlogs. Stay Safe !
    1
  18196. Is that Karen's Car?
    1
  18197. Great video. Thank you
    1
  18198. I like how there are people out there who think that they can substitute this machine that uses lasers for with a piece of string and expect a good alignment
    1
  18199. ...and don't forget to reinsert the pins in the turn plates before backing out.
    1
  18200. U good man “Charlie Brown” 😊
    1
  18201. Great video! It takes the mystery of what happens during a wheel alignment!
    1
  18202. Must be annoying when people don’t mind driving vibrating peice of craps that don’t make you feel satisfied after an alignment
    1
  18203. Best alignment video I've seen, nice job.
    1
  18204. Alyouminyum not aluminum
    1
  18205. Sorry, flex plate.
    1
  18206. Ray - marking the flywheel position before removing it just in case was a great move that showed your experience. Unsure if it was needed, but better to be safe. I assume you've been bitten before by not doing something like that, as many of us have.
    1
  18207. Lauren: "Ray - what happened to all the binder clips?" Ray: 🤔

  18214. You forgot to say “off camera, I did clean off all the corrosive dried urea (piss), before handing it back to the customer” as you intimated in part 1. Just to keep the trolls happy. I only posted to help the algorithms x
    1
  18215. Danny from Tampa here. Excellent video. Super informative.

  18216. Yes it was moderately educational..i am learning more about diesel engines and everything else thanks again Ray.

  18217. Full speed ahead Captain.

  18218. They have these big industrial parts washers that are like dishwashers or clothes washers that work great. We had one in my college auto repair shop (got a degree in auto mechanics along with my CAD/CAM/Machine tooling degrees...I had no idea what I wanted to be when I grew up) and we'd wash engine blocks and transmissions and everything in it. Tide really does get your blocks whiter. 😂
    1
  18219. Your videos are always so realistic I can almost feel the dirt and grit and need to go scrub up after watching them! Will that bottom mounting plate not have to come off again to get the front drive shaft fastened back on to the trans? Or do you reckon you can get in there to get the bearing straps back on sufficiently remotely? You took the shaft off after you had removed the plate earlier on ....
    1
  18220. All I could think of as you were sawing off the exhaust is "I hope he's wearing safety glasses".
    1
  18221. haha same here! always forget that shifter! now my boss reminds me before i even disconnect the batteries 😂
    1
  18222. That’s the largest cross member I’ve ever seen. Wow

  18223. Wait ain't Skynet from Twrminator movies and not The Matrix? Great video, at this point you might as well just do a frame off restoration lol.
    1
  18224. But did you find the bolt that fell into the bell housing?
    1
  18225. Jay Leno nearly burned his face off doing the "mechanic thing". Ray takes on some very rough, and potentially hazardous, projects that place him in regular danger. So please Ray, BE CAREFUL!!!!
    1
  18226. Your new voice style is so very much more pleasing and adult. I can see myself staying subscribed and even like the videos. Not easy to improve for any of us, Well done.
    1
  18227. Ray you should have told Hot Rod to take his gloves off. That way he would not waste your supplies. 😂
    1
  18228. You haven’t lived until you changed and exhaust in a northern state. Or ball joints.
    1
  18229. Your transmission jack is blue so we know it’s good.
    1
  18230. ray you are looking so much happier and healthier since you went solo
    1
  18231. 6:44 weight reduction. Lololol
    1
  18232. I'm beginning to understand why there's a shower in the office. You're getting quite the dirt shower there, Ray.
    1
  18233. I love that you are getting to actually repair stuff now. Best of luck with the new shop
    1
  18234. 2nd

  18235. ​ @RainmanRaysRepairs  It's all good, Ray. Just giving you a little grief, especially with that line of yours "new doesn't mean good" (which is true). 👍

  18242. Yeah, don't think computer wiring repair is in the cards for you Ray. Stick to mechanics.
    1
  18243. It's called a clock "SPRING" .. boyoinging !!
    1
  18244. 4:47 - what the heck, Dude? What’d we do to you???
    1
  18245. You didn't test the air bag in the real world after the repair 😁 I'm kind of glad you didn't.
    1
  18246. Ray almost flipped us the bird with the left front right front left back right back bit.......😂🤣😂🤣😂 He was getting cross fingered there....🤣😂😂
    1
  18247. Hey Ray, I bought that Gorilla ladder from Home Depot. Thank you so much for the recommendation. That thing is nice!
    1
  18248. Ugh. I rewatched it after posting this comment and heard you alluding to as much.
    1
  18249. Wow, you could use a new bench vice or a set of jaw covers, that thing has seen some USE :)
    1
  18250. My son did this to his 2005 Chevy Malibu. New pan, filter, oil he's still driving it.

  18251. Omg I think you’re supposed to use gold solder on a jaguar, tin solder what were you thinking man… come to think of it there may be a special jaguar soldering tool as well… have a great day!
    1
  18252. Rv better than a tiny house? You've never watched Steve Lehto's videos 😎 A tiny house is built to live in, a rv is built to go straight from the stealership to the repair shop - literally in too many cases (major roof leaks on the very first outing followed by a year+ at the repair shop because parts are unobtainium in at least one case...)
    1
  18253. Happy new year Ray
    1
  18254. Not criticizing, genuinely asking... I always thought when doing brakes its best practice to do both sides? Edit: Oh damn... Ray got me in the very end! He likes those little teases... good job!

  18255. GOOD AFTERNOON RAY! Roger in Pierre South Dakota

  18256. your featured in the newest " Watch Wes Work " video ,it's called Self Exploding Drive Shaft - Too Much Cummins Power...lololol

  18260. It was the awkward silence when the lights on the dash came on and he was just as shocked as I was 🤣🤣🤣
    1
  18261. 24:36 I found it hilariouse how you just broke when the lights reapperad.
    1
  18262. Our beloved Betty White would have lived longer with your type of humor. I’m quite sure most mechanics have a ‘slightly’ naughty sense of humor. Keep it up champ. LOL.
    1
  18263. “Get your minds out of the gutter.” Who?? Us?…..no way!😁
    1
  18264. Ray you do know that if you were to open a shop of your own, you would have more customers than you would know what to do with. Just sayin'. Also the guys with your work ethics would come from miles around to work with and for you. Again just sayin'. Oh....Have yourself a Great Day, CLICK.
    1
  18265. Damn you Ray for posting evil pretend gun building video first....lol enjoyed both

  18266. Haha, love the Snap avoidance technique.

  18268. The 4.3 was a GREAT engine!!! But a PITA to get the back 2 plugs on the driver's side... Especially in the S-15 Blazer. Wheel off. Fender liner off. Access hatch not big enough... AND 2-3 wobbly bits....

  18269. Damn you needed to take that bale of pine straw off the cowl lol 😅

  18271. as many snap on tools as you have its consensual by now bud . 32 years in for me

  18272. Review the 'scanner data' right after Ray checked the 'scammer data'.
    1
  18273. 😂that skit with you dodging the snap on guy was funny as heck. I remember those days well.
    1
  18274. The shop looks much better. Go Ray Go

  18275. the pine needles. nooooooo

    1
  18286. The term comes from horse drawn wagons. It’s a board at the front of the wagon to prevent mud from getting on the driver that is dashed up from the horses hooves.
    1
  18287. Whoo hooo !!! PAssed a quarter mil!!!!
    1
  18288. I watched a Scotty Kilmer video yesterday talking about changing the evaporator in a truck. He said it used to be a simple repair done quickly. Now it is a $2,000 repair to take apart the dash to reach it.
    1
  18289. The term "dashboard" actually dates back to the time when people used to travel by horse-drawn carriage. Then, the dashboard was merely a protective board that prevented the driver from being splashed with dirt "dashed-up" from the horses' hooves.
    1
  18290. dashboard (n.) also dash-board, 1846, "board or leather apron in front of a carriage to stop mud from being splashed ('dashed') into the vehicle by the horse's hoofs," from dash (v.) + board (n.1). Of motor vehicles, "panel under the windshield, on which control panels and gauges are mounted,” by 1904. Except for the situation relative to the front seat, it has nothing in common with the original.

  18291. Without looking at anyones answers, because the eairly car had a wooden board with insterments installed in it right behind where horses used to pull a wagon, most older cars body's were built by coach manufactures out of wood, when you slaped the rains on the horse it hit the dashboard. Where the wagon driver rested his feet.

  18292. scheiße!!! Haven't heard anyone use that word in quite some time 😅😅😅

  18293. Dashboard. In the horse and buggy days when the horse was dashing his hooves threw up a bunch of dirt into the front of the buggy so a board (panel) was installed in the front of the buggy to block the dirt from getting into the buggy.

  18300. I'm glad I am not the only one that uses Electrical tape as a band aid. :D
    1
  18301. Admit it Ray, that Jeep is cursed.
    1
  18302. Literally happened yesterday at work. A flat bed tow truck showed up and got a truck off the lift. Didn't know flat beds could raise up like the thing did.
    1
  18303. First thing I would do is get a sticker for the Jeep that says "If you can read this flip me over," then start the letting down process 🤷🏼‍♂
    1
  18304. Whoa!!! Glad your ok. Now how to get jeep down without killling or damaging jeep
    1
  18305. Be careful Ray.
    1
  18306. Time to get all new lifts...... Challenger or Bendpak. 2 10k and 1 12k.
    1
  18307. That lift looks so old, l thought that the day you moved in. Glad you didn't die, l don't want to have to watch Scotty.
    1
  18308. ​ @RainmanRaysRepairs  yes! Definitely video it!!
    1
  18309. Please show us how you get it down.
    1
  18310. See if you can back your flatbed tow truck under it.
    1
  18311. Can you use your tow truck to get the jeep down
    1
  18312. Can you get your tow trucks bed underneath it?
    1
  18313. Use your flatbed tow truck back it in there Underneath It Jack it up with some small jacks on to that move the lift arms out of the way set it down on your tow truck
    1
  18314. The green and the black subscribe buttons need maintenance.
    1
  18315. A very wise man once said "you need to know what you are doing so you don't die" Put jack stands under wheels and put it in gear, it's a jeep lol
    1
  18316. 2 questions. 1st are you ok? 2nd How long were you in the bathroom cleaning out your shorts?????
    1
  18317. my rotary lift did the exact same thing. that lift is from 1996 range. The cylinder puts pressure on that cable and that pressure collapses that arm. You are going to have to replace the cable it. Adjust it and then lift it to get it to come down. Now listen to me that cable broke for a reason... those black pulleys at the top and bottom have worn out and chaffed the cable. You need to replace those too. Your bottom hole is going to pucker its going to whomp. Call Service they can come fix it.... but you can do it yourself. Re thread it.. tighten the tensioners and then go up to come down. I have been watching that think click and shake for a while.... I did it but man drank a lot that night. I had an F250 on it.... and the shinny flavor Good luck
    1
  18318. Can you get a roll back wrecker truck under it? Edit: Never mind....Wife Unit channel says that's the plan.

  18322. The funniest thing is, right before I watched this video today, I saw an ad for a two post lift. From where you ask? TEMU!!!!! Lmfao

  18323. Ray, why put the pressure on you.....tell the customer that it needs an OEM part.

  18327.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  that's exactly what i tell people who are crazy environmentalists the more rules the epa make all they do is move the industry to china and then its made with no rules so we get more pollution. stop driving business out of america buy american products if you want to help the planet don't give more money to politicians to waste on paying off companies that supported their election
    1
  18328. cheaply made Chinese crap is destroying America everyone just goes for what is cheapest. I believe the BMW part is way overpriced but you used to be able to get quality aftermarket parts now it is all garbage

  18374. I sympathise with your wrist problem, hope it soon gets better. I have been suffering with ‘tennis elbow’ for over two months without any improvement. Tried resting, heat and ibuprofen creams but nothing works. Impossible to see a doctor over here so I am stuck with it!

  18391. Two firsts for me. First time I've commented. Thanks for the content I keep coming back for, that's as entertaining as attaching as interesting as funny. Professionals who take pride in their work always inspire me. Thank you Ray. First time I've watched an entire video of yours at normal speed for a long time. It was a trap. got so engrossed that I forgot to switch the speed. You got me Ray! That's nothing to do with the great content, it's just me being a bit weird and watching most youtube videos at 1.75 speed and being able to follow comfortably like that 🙂. Big fan of the channel. I'm an amateur mechanic that works in a completely different field, but love your wit, language references (i always get nuts and bolts mixed up), your slightly zany way of thinking - of which I am a big fan, I with which I identify - (I hope you can pull your rope strap string tight ***WORDS****! Let me put a bit in my Scap trailer video about my input baffle delete plug - your brain reminds me of me/mine ****WORDS**** ) and your Poppen ze hood and other foreign language references are familiar and refreshing at the same time. (A lot of Amercians dont' seem to have much of a clue of anything other than English - no offence - just an observation from a UK Born Irishman living in France and working in Switzerland - das ist kool). Thank you for brightening my day, and may god bless you and Wife Unit - you guys are so cute together - and Ray - what a catch - you're punching above your own weight. ;-) TTFN!

  18392. hope u have like 12 ply tires... cause ur asking for flats if u back that far in...

  18393. We caught you!!! You said many, many moons ago that you would NEVER call it "merch"! You just did at the end of this video' You said to call you out if you ever did... shame on you!!! Lol
    1
  18394. Have a favor to ask; my hearing is starting to go and it seems not just you, but many YouTubers play background music while they are talking and I can't understand what's being said. Often the times I try to turn on the closed caption and that's not working or disabled. So please please please, no loud music when talking because I value what you have to say. Thank you!
    1
  18395. Cool video! I enjoyed seeing something different on your channel. That claw operator at the dump was awesome! I bet he could pick up a beer can with it..

  18397. Now you can buy the left front abs sensor for your truck to fix that. Safety Ray. Family in truck. Reason to fix it. 😊
    1
  18398.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  Thank's for the feedback. I didn't think you had that built in already, and I get the short distance and smaller wire issue. I was joking with the Tesla reference but would 000 (3/0) gauge wire geterdone? 🤔 I hope you keep providing the great educational and entertaining videos. Good day to you sir!

  18399. Enjoyed the video, as far as heavy loads go I've come off the scales @ 23,000 with my single wheel LBZ and she towed no problem! That's a good price for scrap.

  18400. Congrats to the crane driver at the waste metal yard. Pure magic.
    1
  18401.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  I totally agree with crossing the chains under the tongue and do so myself.. I was referring to how you hook your hooks by connecting them going under (backside) instead of over (front side). The only time I would hook the hooks under on the backside would be if there was a latch on the hooks otherwise with open hooks they would be hooked over on the front side.. I hope that make more sense.

  18414. We metric thinkers use litres per 100km as our economy units (l/100 km).

  18415. Fun fact, an ox is a castrated bull steer (boy cow). So you were technically correct to say it was a bull on the label. Love the vids!

  18421. You left a Mike in at the end
    1
  18422. Metric thinker do Litres/100 kilometers, not kilometer/liter. So your real metric fuel mileage is 16.9 litres/100 k. In fact that is how the fuel consumption is indicated on your dashboard by every car manufacturer.
    1
  18423. Apparently recording while driving is called vlogging and there is no specific law against it in any state yet, but a cop might try to be creative with a distracted driving law, but most are pretty specific about hand held conversing or texting, and not recording and/ or narrating, so it likely would not hold up if fought in front of a judge. The point being most people don't know enough about how laws are constructed to know when and how they are enforced or applied.
    1
  18424. Hi Ray , in the metric world we calculate litres per 100 Kilometers ..........but dont worry , Australia has been on the metric system for friggin ages ....and liters per 100 Km means jack shit to me , call me stubborn , I'm 66 , and even tho we're on the metric system I still work in Miles per Gallon
    1
  18425. Canadians measure is as litres used, per 100kms. Not km/L.

  18453. Are you trolling the trolls by making it look like you left the towels in
    1
  18454. RAY!!!! YOU MADE ME SCREAM AT MY COMPUTER SCREEN AGAIN!!!! (@28:15 the blue rags in the intake holes...) You are a SUPER TROLL!!!!! 😱😱😱😱😱😱 I'm gonna start sending you my hospital bills for the multiple HEART ATTACKS you have given me!! JK!!! 🤣🤣🤣 FOUR HOURS TO CHANGE SPARK PLUGS!!! Does your Nissan V-6 need a tune up? Just take it to the junk yard and start over with a different brand This is one of the reasons I hate Nissans so much. Another, is that horrible CVT transmission that feels like it's failing even when it's working right. A third reason is: I had to deal with Nissan Motors in Japan during one of my jobs, and Engineering are a bunch of totally misogynistic, chauvinistic, discriminatory pricks.
    1
  18455. OMG .. . .Ray is human . .. . . he forgot the safety towels :) lol

  18456. Such a troll!!! Definitely should have pulled a fuse to keep it from firing.. Then, everyone would have blamed it on the blue towels!

  18464. I know you said in a recent video that your viewers "prefer" longer videos... but this viewer doesn't. 20-22 minutes is the optimal length in my opinion. Over 30 minutes and you start to lose me. The missus and I watch sometimes before turning in for the night and 20-ish minutes is just about ideal.

Ok, I have standards until I'm getting screwed with frustrating complications.... So not having these we thus live (vicariously ((right word, for sure)) ) thru YOU Ray... and Eric, and Ivan, and Wes, and all the YouTube mechanics (Scanner Danner).... Watching you tickles my brain better than a great deal of cable TV. Or over-the-air TV. S O K E E P U P T H E G R E A T W O R K, B O S S !

  18493. Lube the valves. Adjust valves to .004 intake, .006 exhaust. Replace push rods, they are ruined already.

  18496. I collect old hit and miss engines that some are over a 100+yrs old, the 1st time I run across the ethanol super glue effect was on a 8 hp Associated engine I bought,. Now, this is over 2300 lbs in weight with a 8" piston the piston and rod comes up to my waist and I am 6 ft tall, , and 42" flywheels on it, the gas tank is in the base, and the previous owner left about 2 gallons of the nastiest gas you ever smelled in it, and no drain in the tank and wasnt about to break the lines off, so I thought well just run it out. It doesnt have a spark plug , but a mechanical igniter and a low tension coil , which wouldnt fire it unless you used a 12 volt battery, usually a 6volt lantern battery will fire it, The next morning it was STUCK SOLID, with the piston super glued in the cyl!! Had to use a pipe wrench and a 10ft pipe on the crankshaft and about 2 cans of gumout choke cleaner!! Then put Berrymans fuel cleaner in the tank and fresh gas and run for 2 days, Berrymans is the only igniter friendly stuff I have found, I had it also happen on a little 13/4 hp to, it took 2 friends to help unstick it at a threshing show, after I left gas in the tank for a year. Theory is, the ethanol in todays fuels will react with todays oils, and makes a super glue like shtuff. You might put a can of Berrymans fuel treatment in the tanks and maybe spray some choke cleaner in the cyls after a run, so to clean the rings of any that might be in it yet, you can see it on the valve stems when you sprayed the brake cleaner in them.

  18497. Not vacuum to fuel pump. Only intake has vacuum you should know that. Crankcase has pulse. Pressure and no pressure. Pushes on diaphragm and spring returns. You should know that since you are a good mechanic. Surprise to see carb working with All that gum.

  18510. Pushing the accelerator three times. That always makes me laugh. Spark. Fuel. Air. Speed of rotation. Timing. Compression. Or you could say. FARTS. Fuel, air, revolutions, timing, and spark. But you have to check spark first. Because without it, you won't have fuel. That's the great brains philosophy. You don't want a bunch of fuel supplied and then restore spark. That would be bad.

  18518. Hey Ray we love watching videos from the beginning to the end of a vehicle Don't be afraid to post another video on it😊
    1
  18519. Someone must have been in a hurry to get that truck out. That’s a lot of careless mistakes that is been discovered. I could tell Ray was holding back quite a bit on camera from the first video about the terrible job. One shouldn’t trash other mechanics because you don’t know what they were given to work with in the first place, this is just a lazy and uneducated attempt to put a vehicle back together.

  18520. Thankyou so much, I really really appreciate your help with this. I will speak to my father and all I can do then is leave that decision to him and my mother. Thankyou again Ray

  18535. Most aftermarket brake spring clips / shims I've come across, are too thick and not very springy usually, so are pretty useless. I usually use the OE if still in good condition, just clean them.

  18536. german DIY boi thinks ... oh those strange US guys do hourlong philosopy discussions on prefilling oilfilters and then they decline breakfluid changes on a regular basis because it´s upselling ? ... you guys really need therapy. Ray is 100% right on that matter !

  18544. I’ve been riding motorcycles since I was 21, 1977 (I didn’t get my drivers license until then because I liked to party,and didn’t want to be killed in a car I was driving drunk). One time a flatbed truck backed from a wheat field, in Oregon, completely across the road, had to lay it down to avoid hitting it. Didn’t see it until it was coming out due to all the tall brush along the country road. Just got scrapes on my NEW BOOTS, and my jacket, luckily. Move on to 2005, was riding my motorcycle back home after going to the 4th of July parade, I was stopped at a light, I looked in my mirror, for some reason, and saw this white van with a lady who was talking on her phone. I thought, “she isn’t going to stop” I said it to myself a couple of times. I couldn’t get out of the way because there was cars on either side and motorcycles in front of me. All of a sudden she hits me at about 15-20 miles an hour. By the way, I had just gotten out of a HALO from a broken neck approximately a month before, that I got from a airbag hitting me in the face, all this is running through my mind. I felt the back of my legs get impacted and the rest of my body being shuttered as well. I looked around and my back fender was stuck in her bumper and grill. The police were called and she never got out of the van to see if I was ok or anything. She just sat behind the wheel until the police came. She was ticketed for careless driving and also having no insurance. I was taken to the Hospital and had head to toe X-rays and scans, but luckily I didn’t have any broken bones anywhere including my neck that heavens. Had blue,green,yellow,and black bruises for about a month on the back of my legs. Luckily I haven’t had any more exciting moments on my motorcycle. I rode it yesterday. I wonder if someone was trying to tell you something, from beyond? You never know! Roger in Pierre South Dakota

  18550. Here's a story for everyone..I was on I-10...by the Georgia border getting gas.and this old timer came for the gas ..but this guy had a Chevy 1500. With a camper trailer and his bass boat was on a hitched to the back of the camper ...wtf...never seen that before..

  18551. HIDs on a motorcycle are more trouble than they're worth. Too much to go wrong (ballast, projector, all the extra wiring, etc.)They work..until they don't. If you want something other than a standard light bulb, go with LEDs. I have, and never had any trouble.
    1
  18552. Sounds to me like your friend was telling you to stop riding. Stories like yours are not uncommon. Stay safe!
    1
  18553. Funny you should mention about parking your bike. In 1985 I laid my bike down (Honda CB350)after hitting a patch of cinders on a curve. I let it go and rolled out of harms way. I have never been on a bike since. It's just not worth it for me.
    1
  18554. Battery terminals are annoying, ive nearly died from having a car die due to faulty terminals on a freeway had a truck nearly hit me i can see your experience its so weird how one little thing can make the hole car/ bike/ truck die or play up really bad

  18555. My brother and a friend of his were going to an event with their bikes. The other fellow had his bike loaded down with all the souvenir T-shirts, sweat shirts and things. They weren't speeding and went down a steep hill and the road curved to the right. The speed, according to police was fine, but the extra weight combined with centrifugal force pulled the other bike across the centre line and he hit the guardrail and killed him. An ER nurse in her car and paramedics in their ambulance were just passing by at that precise moment but he was beyond help. My brother was transported to hospital for shock and released next morning. Rode his bike twice after that but said he was too afraid to ride and sold his pride and joy. He had restored it from boxes of parts as part of a guy's failed project and was proud of it and so was I. He did an amazing job.

  18556. Man it's amazing what good electrical will do for a vehicle. I just installed a 300amp alternator, and a voltage regulator to charge at 15.6 volts (car audio system) and a 36ah lithium bank and deleted my front battery on my 99 dodge dakota. But good god does it start/ idle / and drive a million times better than it ever has. U can hear a noticeable difference in the smoothness of the way it idles.

  18564. As a California native, I can state the hypocrisy is very real. Not all Californians are nuts, just those who keep enabling the crazy. I'm glad to see some LS content. Thanks Ray.

  18566. i found a verbal communication error at time stamp 46:08 -46:14 you said "Hydrogen dioxide (HO2) not water which would have dihydride oxide (H2O)
    1
  18567. I think you are trolling Eric by working back to front.
    1
  18568. It would be 46:41 digyrdrogen oxide, not hydrogen dioxide since there are two hydrogens and one oxygen in a water molecule.

  18578. Californian cities aren't fininf people for having brown lawns. Some Californian HOAs are trying to fine people, but that's the Neighbourhood Hagatha effect California made it illegal for HOAs to fine for brown grass over a deade ago (AB2100) - and they can be fined $500 per day per incident (meaning if they serve notices on multiple homeowners, each one is an incident There has been a steady stream of these kinds of stories since 2015 and in every case once media have got hold of it and brought it to the attention of the CA water board, the offending HOAs have been stomped on - hard Meantime over the border in Colorado, HOAs are still issuing such fines and getteing away with it BTW: the first move anyone experiencing problems with their HOA should do is to demand full accounts for the last decade. They're required by law to produce it on demand and the average Hagatha/Karen thinks they're immune to this law - failing to comply can result in personal liability and dissolution of the HOA, along with a very invasive IRS audit

  18585. The timing sounds pretty far advanced
    1
  18586. You should probably install two batteries in parallel, not to each other but to power and ground, with all those fans and a stereo (easier on the alternator and starter). Carb: Adjust 2 - 2.5 turns out each, turn in until it starts to run rough, out a half a turn. Do that a few times, as when you lean them both out, backing them out may end-up slightly richer than your original setting. A way to set carbs in the old days was; lean until it starts to run rough, out a half turn, then out one more eighth of a turn. Both sides should be equal turns.
    1
  18587. They seriously taped a ported vacuum?! 🤦🏻‍♂️
    1
  18588. the timing is to far advanced
    1
  18589. Too much advance in timing will cause it to crank like it does as well as making it run hot
    1
  18590. Sounds like the timing is off a bit might start easier
    1
  18591. Hey Ray I would definitely check the timing on the cobra to me it sounds a little retarded but it could just be the video if it is at a time I've seen that make engines run hotter than normal
    1
  18592. I bought a camera and pretend I make YouTube videos so I can talk to myself …Now I can stop taking my meds, Thanks for the great idea Ray

  18604. Of course the leaks stopped and it's running, you dropped a wad on a new Holley and started it while recording. 😂 What happened is what happens when customers take vehicles to the shop with a complaint, magically self correcting in presence of the tool box wizard, leaving the customer looking silly. 😅 Look at you flex with the golden ratchet. 💪 You missed an obvious and major issue, the left valve cover is all kinds of wrong. It hurts me to see it on backwards and the hold down bolt wings not lined up with the other side. Yup just a tiny bit of OCD silently screaming in my brain. 😜

  18641. As a mechanic who has done dozens of Chrysler HVAC boxes, it appears the last tech was unskilled in the art of placing the plastic in the channel before fastening the unit together. May the odds be ever in the customer's favor. If you wind up doing the job, I know you will do it right.👍👍

  18650. if everything is broken, nothing is broken.

  18651. Start with cheap tools. If the tool breaks, replace it with a more quality one because you use that one the most.

  18659. I don't understand how people can complaint about the brand of tools/toolbox you or I are using. Not everyone can afford or want to spend ludicrous amount of money on tools. You can spend 25k on a toolbox or save up for a house,vacation or your pension . My toolbox is about 75% (Mastercraft,Rigid,Nikita,Stanley,Jet,power fist tools) and about 25% Snap On/Mac/Matco. It all depends on usage and your budget. If I run into a issue with the tool the hardware store is open 8-8 M-S.

  18666. Rainy man is smarty good wrench man. Grug know is no fun to get parts no need. Grug learn hard way.

  18667. This is why I am the only one who does diagnostic at the shop I work at. 90% of mechanics in the industry don’t know how cars work, how can they have any chance of diagnosing them? Too bad for the shop I’m working at they don’t know how to keep a good tech, tomorrow is my last day not only at this shop but as a tech in general. Maybe it’ll change someday, but given how difficult it is to find a quality tech, shops really should try harder to keep the good ones, and our pay should be commensurate with the experience, investment in tools and continuing education that we have. Instead, I get paid the same or less than the flat raters at my shop because they get 200+ hours a month doing the repairs that I specified during my diagnosis and inspections. There is no reason that a good quality diagnostic tech should be making less than $100,000 a year in my area (given the cost of living here, plus the extremely small pool of good employees and techs to choose from), and nobody pays that much. Only flat raters taking short cuts and swapping parts like crazy make that much. It’s a shame, but oh well. On to another industry that supports skill and hard work.

  18714. The opening is PRICELESS.

  18715. Ray, for some more light get some above the office in that dark void. I know it seems like a waste of money cuz it's useless space up there, but believe me. Dark swallows light, try it with some of you leds you already have and see for yourself
