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

  1. 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

  2. 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. :)

  3. 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!!!

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  8. 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!

  9. "I just put new rotors on last week. You guys are trying to scam me!"

  10. I don't always watch YouTube videos, but when I do, I watch Rainman Ray's Repairs.

  11. Thanks for the audible reminder that I have a dental appointment this morning!

  12. Can't stand scammers. However. I am giving something away hint hint

  13. 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.

  14. 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.

  15. It's always a struggle Ray - just remember you have an amazing wife Unit and family
    144
  16. Made of Steel and Bald Eagles! LOL! Thanks for the laugh, Ray. I really needed it.

  17. Ray, Québécois here... French Canadian... I watched all your videos haha! it's okay that you laugh at us... As long as I can laugh at you Americans... It's all about having fun with respects.

  18. I wonder if they caused a short during their attempts to get the sensor out.
    142
  19. 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.

  20. this is why i have my own shop don’t have to put up with impatient people
    142
  21. 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 😂

  22. 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.
    141
  23. 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!!!

  24. What an awesome video. Building your own truck in your own shop, thats the dream right there.
    141
  25. Did we just nearly witness the moment the 10mm went missing?
    141
  26. You bounced back so quick. Good for you Ray.

  27. 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.

  28. 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. 😁

  29. Love how every tool maker has a tool for those God forsaken clamps. But we still fight them with a trusty plier.
    139
  30. 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
  31. Next time you drop the camera, pre-warn us. I didn’t have my safety harness on and almost fell out of my seat. 😂

  32. 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!

  33. The Monday morning snark is strong in this one! Most enjoyable! :D

  34. When I saw "car accident" .... I thought of course... he just worked on ANOTHER PT Cruiser.
    138
  35. 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
  36. 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
  37. It wouldn't take so long if you didn't always do the job right. 😂👍💪

  38. 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
  39. 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.

  40. 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"

  41. 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
  42. This was a GREAT video. The best part was you telling that lady you were not going to charge her because you didn't repair anything. My jaw dropped. Integrity and honesty, two things missing from so many businesses these days. Glad to see they are not forgotten concepts. The worst part of the video was the dogs looking for attention and you had to push them away. Understandable. It’s just that the dogs looked at you as if they were saying “What did I do wrong?” I hope you spoiled them with a big jumbone later.

  43. 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).

  44. 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.

  45. If there was ever a vehicle that should be seized and burned by the DOT its thats pile of Shit! Woooow
    136
  46. You know that's a torque limiting extension he has on that impact right?
    135
  47. 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
  48. So this is the secret spot all the cool kids hangout at before release.
    135
  49. Well you proved it again Ray, the best tool in your toolbox is common sense BROTHER! 🧰👋🍻👍

  50. 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.
