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

  1. 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.

  3. I ride motorcycles. This is terrifying.

  4. Apologizes for his hands getting in the way and yet consistently puts out some of the best auto repair videos on YouTube.

  5. 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.

  6. 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@@

  7. 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.

  9. 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.

  10. 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!👍👍

  11. 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.

  12. 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.

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

  14. 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.

  15. 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. 🎉

  16. You checked my AC and now my back brakes are all worn out! What did you do!?!?
    216
  17. Appearing To leave the cap off generated soooo many comments. Great for getting that comment to view ratio up. Good job 👍
    215
  18. 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
  19. When I saw your comment, I instantly heard it in a Scottish accent.😂 But yeah I think they knew what they were doing in pulling this scam.😒

  20. 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

  21. Been in those spots before. Some real assholes out there. Glad you and the other driver are okay.
    213
  22. Have fun at SEMA and, more importantly, have a great day with no more boss man!
    212
  23. i dont understand the people calling u a sellout. i love the honesty and opportunity to see the manufacturing facility.
    212
  24. 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 😎🌴🇺🇸

  25. 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

  26. Better a turbo line than an engine

  27. Woohoo who else looks forward to their daily dose of Ray?

  28. Ray hasn't checked the air filter in so long he forgot how to remove it.🤣
    209
  29. For a minute there I had to check my calendar to make sure it was not April First, LOL. Almost got me...

  30. I had to laugh when you brought up the warranty thing. No manufacturer covers stupidity. Anxiously waiting for Pt.2+ And have a wonderful New Year.

  31. 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
  32. It is easy to become complacent when working under lifts all day. Safety 3rd I always say 😁

  33. Anyone else remember when the most difficult part of replacing a water pump was removing a fan?
    205
  34. 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 . . .

  35. Do you remember Diesel Tech Ron's channel? Great guy with a YouTube channel about diesel trucks who would graciously video his knowledge and experience to a captivated audience. Well, he died tragically in an accident on his way to work because he usually wouldn't wear his seat belt. His son made a video about that and put it up on his channel. We care about you Ray. We wouldn't watch if we didn't like your videos. We need more of them in our lives. I just ask you please to wear your seatbelt because the same could happen to you. Thanks Ray. "Soapbox dismount"

  36. 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

  37. Stay safe ray! We love you and hope you and your family are okay

  38. 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.) 😁😁😄😄

  39. 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!😊🇨🇦🌲

  40. 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.

  44. the jack sounds like me getting out of bed in the mornings

  45. 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!!!

  46. I like how the operator left a voice mail but has no idea why you are calling

  47. 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!!

  48. I’m glad to see you are feeling better after having died this past week. 👍

  49. 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.

  50. I have never seen someone put the rotor on the hub backwards for cleaning. That's smart as hell!
