  1. You're a good man Ray. You do great work and you're honest.
    53
  2. 24:18 that's one of the coolest tools I've seen. I use the old brake pad and a c clamp or adjustable pliers to press the piston back into the caliper. I always check the reservoir before doing this so I don't make a mess. People sometimes add brake fluid to the reservoir when the brake pads are worn, leaving you with a corrosive surprise near the end of the job. Lol
    42
  3. 10:08 at this point I would have ratchet straps around the pumpkin and wrapped under the plate of the jack. Some helpers would be great as well. One one each end of the axle while you lower it down.
    30
  4. You're golden Ray, no worries. Im glad to catch one of your videos in the morning because it provides life enrichment. You're living the dream and taking us along with you. SUCCESS!!!
    21
  5. 4:11 I'm with you 💯 on this Ray. Working under the dash is such a pain. I've got to remove the seat to get myself under the dash. It hurts me every time.
    20
  6. 5:37 What's wrong with it Carl?! It ain't got no gas it.
    19
  7. 4:11 I think the most important feature of that winch would be the strength and reliability of the cable brake
    19
  8. 4:00 Ah, the cardboard creeper. I've been using these for to long.
    17
  9. I'll order a large number 5 with cheese and onion rings.
    15
  10. 3:35 it happened to my sister in law. She got across town before her engine was knock, knock, knocking on heaven's door. The lube shop tried to ignore her claim. Lol The local Judge ordered the lube shop to pay another shop to install a new engine in her Chevy Cavalier. They put a newer Cobalt engine in there. When you go to buy an oil filter for a 1998 Cavalier it doesn't fit. Lol That lube shop changed owners shortly after from Tweaker Automotive Disrepair. Haha
    14
  11. 52:14 don't forget about the throttle body hose clamp.
    14
  12. 3:50 I love how while you're talking about crazy traffic, the car in front of you turns into the oncoming left hand turn lane to make a convenient left turn from the left lane. Driver went British! Lol
    14
  13. What's taking so long Ray! Are you doing your Taxes, or changing my oil!? Lol I wish we could see that unreasonable customer.
    12
  14. Haha, that's a good one . Lol it's true too.
    10
  15. 26:03 I would like to see the resistance of the circuits on the new part.
    10
  16. 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
  17.  @ryans413  don't forget to crank up the AC while you let the car warm up. Pop the head gasket before you sign.
    9
  18. The paint was my primary concern, then I was worried about the mirror. My brother just scratched the hood on his 59 Chevy Apache because he left the hood up while closing the garage door. The truck was on jack stands. The door track left two nasty deep 7 inch long scratches down to the metal right on the front of the hood. DAMN!!!!!
    9
  19. He owes Dom a 15 second car. Lol
    8
  20. You never count your money when you're sitting at the table. There'll be time enough for count'en when the dealen's done.
    8
  21. Direct injection is really awesome if it doesn't have to eat oil vapor from the crankcase.
    7
  22. Those hubs might have never been locked before. If you don't go offroading very much, it's good to put your truck in 4wheel drive on occasion to move the oil around in the transfer case, front axle, and driveline.
    7
  23. After ten to twenty heat cycles the customer needs to check the torque on those header bolts.
    7
  24. That's a big 10-4. PCV oil vapor gets cooked into the intake valve and port.
    6
  25. The dually looks good in the air at the end of the video, like a Starwars Speeder. Lol This was a good one. It's good to know you've got new brakes and bearings when you haul and tow heavy stuff. Fresh grease and brake fluid too. That's a good truck and it will serve you well.
    6
  26. I hope that new exhaust manifold smoothes that truck out and that it drives reliably for many years.
    6
  27. I used lube guard synthetic in my G37 around 90,000 miles. I used a syringe to pull the burnt old fluid out of the reservoir and put the new synthetic in. I would drive to a nearby empty parking lot and make tight left and right turns. Then come back and repeat the process until the reservoir had clean fluid. After the third cycle, the pump didn't make any noise or struggle under load. I repeated the process a total of five times for good measure. I used 2 quarts of power steering fluid.
    6
  28. 7:50 you forgot about one of the most popular Chevy trucks ever, the 1967-1972 Chevy trucks have beautiful round wheel wells. Prime examples are the Copperhead custom build, and everyone's favorite nowadays, the Farm truck.
    6
  29. 2:30 I've had the pleasure of hearing that pin in action on multiple occasions. Lol It sounds like a pissed off coffee grinder. Haha
    5
  30. I would have replaced both rear hub bearing assemblies if it was my car. When it comes to bearings, brakes, tires, or suspension, I always repair both sides. Let's just say that I had to learn the hard way on this one.
    5
  31. 0:41 Aziz! LIGHT!!!! Lol what movie is that from?
    5
  32. The Outlaw Josey Wales is one of my favorite western movies.
    5
  33. Happy Thanksgiving!
    5
  34. 28:20 you want to go easy with the oil so that it doesn't end up on the MAF sensor.
    5
  35. Good job getting er home. I've been stranded with a busted hose or heater core myself with limited tools. You sometimes have to find your inner Macgyver. Lol
    5
  36. 33:30 I would come up a little on the transmission jack before trying to separate the flanges. There's a little load on the dowel pins because you lowered the transmission to get to the bell housing bolts.
    4
  37. 10:08 this is very interesting. I've got a very similar engine in my G37. How much crap do you have to remove to get to the water pump?
    4
  38. I call that a glitch in the matrix. Lol the story of my life. Haha
    4
  39. 7:36 coolant filter. Sand comes loose from the engine's coolant passages and causes chaos for the emissions equipment.
    4
  40. 40:30 dude, you called it.
    4
  41. Good observation, I agree.
    4
  42. It's one of those things that bug me when I open those bottles. I poke them open and peel back the foil and plastic before pouring it.
    4
  43. 7:00 I've had to call on the hot wrench a few times with exhaust fasteners. They get heat cycled into oblivion. I snapped the studs off just below the nuts on my Camaro's flange. I got a tool from Napa auto parts with about four or so sockets of various sizes. The sockets have three rollers in the walls that grip the stud when you go to loosen them. After soaking the studs in PB Blaster I was able to twist them out.
    4
  44. Happy Thanksgiving Ray, God bless you and your family.
    4
  45. You're good at breaking stuff 😜
    4
  46. 8:30 my friend PB Blaster, savior of the rust belt wrencher.
    4
  47. 33:21 hit your brakes or pull the parking brake while moving. On and off throttle while holding a gear for engine braking and acceleration, anything that causes axle wrap.
    4
  48. Shims would bring the metal parts closer together. Grinding the bracket would be quick and save time, but there is a better way to fix the problem. That is to replace the broken and or tweaked inner bracket so you don't have this problem further down the road. You picked a fight with an ARMY of loyal RAY fans.
    4
  49. I had a 66 Baja Bug with wornout everything. I used a pair of chanel locks on the shift rod for reverse. I bought an engine for 400 dollars and the car it was attached to was free.
    4
  50. 11:11 maybe the fuel pump relay is getting tired.
    3
  51. 0:36 hoovering like a Starwars Speeder.
    3
  52. 5:13 just one injector? The customer is probably going to trade it in for a Toyota. Lol it's not their problem anymore.
    3
  53. Good advice
    3
  54. 3:50 Ray, remember to use Trufuel from the can. They got 4cycle and 2cycle cans of gas that will store for a long time without gumming up the carburetor. I use it in my chainsaw and lawnmower and it works really good.
    3
  55. 30:04 can you pull any old power steering fluid out of the reservoir at this point? That stuff looked nasty.
    3
  56. What if you're a two stroke man. Lol
    3
  57. That's a good truck that needs a lot of TLC. I hope the rust isn't too deep.
    3
  58. The Ultimate dad joke
    3
  59. Nice work Ray. That Subaru looks like a fun car to work on.
    3
  60. 36:57 wait a minute, you have to wrestle the new fan assembly through there first.
    3
  61. 1:44 aaahhhh!!!!! Ray, put the intake tube back on the throttle body before doing that.
    3
  62. This was a nice trip back in time. Thanks Ray.
    3
  63. 3:35 Careful Ray!!!
    3
  64. Rolling smooth and stopping effectively, good work Ray.
    3
  65. 43:20 I helped my buddy change this out twice on his 2000 Camaro Z28. It was a real pain to get it out. The "rebuilt" unit was from Napa and someone rebuilt it in about one minute. Lol The guys in the reman shop cleaned it off and spray painted it black instead of rebuilding it. My buddy drove it home and it leaked all of the power steering fluid from everywhere in about 5 miles and over night while parked. We took it back out and returned it to Napa. They couldn't believe it at first. Then I showed them the spray paint that was flaking off of the boots on both sides of the rack. It was worse than the original one. Lol We crossed our fingers when we put the next rebuilt rack back in there.
    3
  66.  @rjb6327  also called A-arms.
    3
  67. Oh man, that's an overly complicated vct device. The tensioners are in there somewhere. I hope nothing fails on mine because I don't want to take the whole accessory drive out of the car during in chassis surgery. Lol
    3
  68. 18:56 Good Ray, bushings that pivot need to be tightened up when the suspension is loaded to prevent binding or pinching of the rubber.
    3
  69. I like your new toy. It's a well used workhorse with more to do. I would like to see some repair and maintenance videos with it.
    3
  70. 8:14 lololol True!!! Don't forget about Mitsubishi
    3
  71. 19:08 nice work Ray. You performed a miracle. Lol That plate was a piece of bubble gum before.
    3
  72. I learned this lesson the hard way myself. I always change bearings, CV axles, calipers and rotors, ball joints, and tie rods in pairs.
    3
  73. 16:20 I always disconnect the battery before welding on a car to protect the computer.
    3
  74. 16:25 red sharpie marker to the splines and steering wheel for reference.
    3
  75. 0:01 what kind of a Battle cruiser do you have docked in the parking lot? Looks like an early 70s Chevy Caprice. I drove a 74 with a small block 400. It was 4800 pounds, a true battle cruiser.
    3
  76. 4:33 you better label that so the wife unit doesn't take an oil sample by mistake. Lol that would be a terrible prank, just leave it by the coffee machine. Don't do it Ray!!! Lololol
    2
  77. 41:49 reminds me of when the IRS gave me a call. Lol I put the scammers on speaker so the other people in the restaurant could hear him. I educated my fellow restaurant patrons about the IRS scam while I had him on speaker phone. He was really playing his part well until I asked him what my address was and why didn't they just send a letter like they're supposed to. Some of the people in the restaurant thought I was being disrespectful to the IRS, I had to explain that it was a scam again while still keeping scammer dude on speaker. I explained that the IRS has all of your numbers and that includes your address. They will send you an official letter.
    2
  78.  @FixIt1975  yeah, looks like you have to remove five parts before you can get to work on the problem. I had a 1998 Z28, another pain in the knuckles to work on with no room for anything else under that hood.
    2
  79. 20:12 I wonder how many of these kits have mismatched pinion bearings in them. Yukon is a popular name and the F150 is the most popular pickup truck in the country. This could be a huge pain for Yukon and a proper lesson in using better quality control.
    2
  80. 6:57 lololol 🤣 you rubbed that compressor the right way!!!
    2
  81. 1:37 from this camera angle I thought you were going to collide.
    2
  82. 12:50 that's a damn shame. At this point I would think the machine gun noise was coming from inside the engine at higher rpms or load.
    2
  83. When I read Ford 5.8 V10, I thought it had a dead cylinder and became a V9. Lol
    2
  84. 33:05 lololol 🤣, you remind me of a buddy of mine. He would slap the roof of the vehicle from the passenger seat while you were backing up. The driver hears the bang and slams on the brake pedal thinking that they just backed into something. Hahaha He got me good with that one.
    2
  85. 1:45 I would change both front wheel bearings at least.
    2
  86. My sister in law needed a transmission for her Impala. The warranty company took a week to get to the dealership and approve the transmission replacement. They bought a used transmission from the junkyard and the dealership gave her the option to reseal the whole case with new gaskets if she paid for it because the warranty company would not. She wound up in the same boat with a used transmission with X amount of mileage on it. She traded it in for a new Camry and will never deal with that BS again. Endurance plus Insurance is NOT total car protection.
    2
  87. 6:23 that's a Starwars speeder, I've got the 1986 Suburban speeder myself.
    2
  88. 6:04 It ain't got no gas in it! Lololol 🤣
    2
  89. 5:41 GM should have put that battery in the trunk.
    2
  90. 0:11 she's steam powered. Lol
    2
  91. Ouch, I hope you recover from this one. I've had this happen to me even with a hot wrench. Heat cycled fasteners are a PAIN.
    2
  92. 28:00 I Got 5 On It!!!
    2
  93. 1:30 put your Assistant in the trunk for ballast weight to counteract the lifting force of the jackstand.
    2
  94. 26:25 lol troll entering here. When you get too hot, you can't think correctly. Well that's my experience. I like to use the spring pressure to break the ball joints loose from the knuckle. Loosen a couple threads on the ball joint nut and hit the knuckle with a BFH and the spring pressure will get er done.
    2
  95. 35:00 I hope you tightened the throttle body bolts all the way down off camera.
    2
  96. 20:58 But Troy is thoroughly amused. Lololol 🤣
    2
  97. 43:22 WTF, he's still there!!! You got it bad man! Lololol 🤣
    2
  98. 18:05 a little bit of lubricant on the bushings would probably help make life easier.
    2
  99. 28:50 You got that right! Lol
    2
  100. This one was painful Ray. I hope you are richly rewarded for your efforts.
    2
  101. 5:23 that's what happens when you replace only one rotor at a time. Lololol
    2
  102.  @ToddAdams1234  I learned this the hard way long ago. Lol
    2
  103. Ray, I know the feeling. What a major pain. No room, and you're juggling a light and camera with tools, parts, and a belt. You need to be an arthropod for this kind of work without trying to film. Good work.
    2
  104. 27:42 Belt driven intake manifold
    2
  105. Nice place Ray. You have the convenience of a shower for the accidental gear lube situations. That stuff is nasty. Lol
    2
  106. 30:52 I never play around with brake fluid. It's harsh on surfaces.
    2
  107. 19:10 that's some crappy service.
    2
  108. 55:34 if that was my car, I would use some header wrap on the exhaust pipe near the gas tank and fuel lines. They're pretty close.
    2
  109. 0:25 stage 6 weight reduction mod.
    2
  110. 7:46 I can get a five quart jug of mobile one 5w-30 synthetic oil at Walmart for 28ish bucks. That's the best deal that I've found as an ordinary consumer. It drops down below $25 sometimes.
    2
  111. 13:53 PST should make one of these gears. They make graphite impregnated polyurethane bushings for suspension systems. Polygraphite, it might survive in there because it self lubricates.
    2
  112. 31:00 this is where I would put a couple pumps of axle grease in the u-joint for good measure.
    2
  113. 1:00 We have the rotisserie cooker over us in July. Australia is enjoying their winter right now in the southern hemispherical chamber.
    2
  114. I feel for you Ray. I've been there before and I wasn't finishing someone else's work. Lol It was my own project that I started and had to finish later, after the parts arrived. Lol
    2
  115. 5:18 don't forget to put something under the A arm.
    2
  116. 1:37 good ol torque arm bushing.
    2
  117. 32:32 lol I love it. Haha
    2
  118. That's an amazing car. It held together with minimal maintenance.
    2
  119. 9:00 I like to make the repair to both sides when it's brakes, wheel bearings, and suspension.
    2
  120. 21:30 lololol 🤣 oh noooo
    2
  121. 12:06 Livin On The Edge!!! Lol
    2
  122. I had a 1994 Toyota Corolla with a 1.6 Liter and 5 speed manual transmission. I bought it with a quarter million miles on it back in 07 when the fuel prices went up. It was a great car with functional AC and it still got 36 mpg on the highway.. the only work it needed was CV axles because I took it off road and drug the exhaust back about a foot. The hot exhaust pipe burned a hole in the CV boot.
    2
  123. 18:42 you accidentally pulled the compression relay out. Lol
    2
  124. 20:36 thread locker?
    2
  125. 12:00 those two wrenches played a little tune. Lol
    2
  126. Solid advice
    2
  127. 14:55 it sure makes pulling sparkplug wires off a lot easier.
    2
  128. 7:34 Diaper Disaster! Lol
    2
  129. This happened to my dad's 1973 Chevy Caprice back in the day. My dad thought the transmission was going out, and so did the guy at the transmission shop . After getting the TH350 automatic transmission rebuilt the car had the same problem. It would kick down to the passing gear but not upshift until you got out of the throttle without much acceleration. The transmission shop made some money off my dad. He took it to another shop and explained what the car was doing and the mechanic told my dad to rev the engine while he put his hand over the tail pipe. He told my dad this things not breathing right. My dad took it down to the muffler shop and had his buddy put dual glass packs on it. We didn't know that a 5000 pound battle cruiser could do a smokey burnout. Lol I found out later that it had a small block 400 in it when I checked the numbers on the block. No wonder
    2
  130. 24:49 this seems to be the theme of this vehicle. Zero maintenance or repairs.
    2
  131. 9:05 the motor mounts are hanging in there. Lol You need to send this truck up north to the Neutral Drop Brothers. They can test those motor mounts with a few No Mercy Reversies. Haha
    2
  132. 0:10 what a coincidence. My brother has the same truck with the same problem. I told him about the 3M adhesive.
    2
  133. 42:45 this is when I put the transmission in fourth gear so I can wiggle the output shaft back and forth with the drive line installed. It will line the splines of the input shaft up with the clutch disc's splines. Then you got to wiggle wiggle wiggle the whole transmission to sink into that pilot bearing.
    2
  134. Well, you're getting your degree in part time cruiser anatomy now. It sucks that you have to take it apart just to change the radiator.
    2
  135. Good morning Ray.
    2
  136. 41:48 lololol, that's funny. Kids need to hear that so they don't grow up to be Karens. Good parenting.
    2
  137. 17:57 that pathetic engine mount can't contain the POWAAH of the mighty 3800 Grandpa special. Lol you better chain it down bro!!!
    2
  138. Looks like you had fun playing with your new toy. Lol I'm glad you got the air-conditioning fixed. That diesel sounds really good.
    2
  139. I love that color on the Firebird. My favorite is the 2001-2002 Firebird TA WS6 with the manual transmission. Come on Powerball!!!
    2
  140. 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
  141. I like what you did. I had to do this with my Nissan Titan. Corrosion killed my positive connector so I grabbed a piece of 4 guage power cable and an aftermarket terminal from some stereo amplifier install kit.
    2
  142. You must have had your coffee Ray. You're firing on all eight with this job. Lol Nice work.
    2
  143. It was also an explanation video.
    2
  144. You got it, nice catch.
    2
  145. 43:01 lololol, he's gonna come after you Ray!!! You can't skip payment on your addictions!!! Hahaha 🤣
    2
  146. 26:30 is that belt ribbed on both sides for everyone's pleasure? Or is it twisted?
    2
  147. I like the process and the effort Ray.
    2
  148. 57:45 this is where I would put a little grease in to help that bushing slide in there. Maybe some of that sparkplug boot grease.
    2
  149. 23:41 as long as you have room for chassis flex.
    2
  150. 0:30 now that's a good Chevy!
    2
  151. 15:29 looks like one good collision on the front passenger side corner would destroy your engine through the cam drive. That mount is perfectly placed to do so.
    2
  152. That's probably a 95,279 mile original timing belt.
    2
  153. 17:04 a heat shield, good idea, especially with that exhaust jammed in there.
    2
  154. 1:09:00 Note to self: when buying a front wheel drive vehicle, only get the I4 engine.
    2
  155. 8:00 this truck would be an awesome spectacle at a tug o war contest. Give it a 300 HP shot of NOS and a one ton plate of steel in the bed for traction. Hitch it up against a big truck and let it rip. Lol or give it to Stuntman from Neutral Drop for some No Mercy Reversies.
    2
  156. I just found out that my Titan was stolen this morning in Las Vegas. I need some Ray therapy today. Perfect timing Ray, thanks.
    2
  157. 23:04 the power comes into the fuse on one side, travels across the part that burns out with more than a 10 amp load, then goes back down the other prong or leg into the panel connection and into the circuit. You can get power from both legs but you need to connect downstream of the fuse to utilize it.
    2
  158. Ever since I got COVID-19, I've been running on 5.5 cylinders.
    2
  159. 26:10 lololol it's leakin the sshhgoo! Nice save Ray.
    2
  160. 6:53 the good ol' hot wrench, be careful with that sensor harness in the danger zone.
    2
  161. You're the man Ray, and you're Troy's hero. Lol I don't think I could have Stretch Armstronged like that. Lol
    2
  162. Ray, you've got all the toys. Lol
    2
  163. 13:46 Does that make you Randy baby?! Grrr lolol
    2
  164. Poor car, someone really abused that thing. Lol
    2
  165. I'm going to have to ask you to come in on Sunday too mmkay. Lol I had a ringtone on my old phone just for my boss named Bill.
    2
  166.  @thatsmetube  NY or hot minute means it happens quickly.
    2
  167.  @Cardoctorhelp  he is quite a character, from the movie Office Space. It's worth a look.
    2
  168. 26:55 I would go back to the harness coming out of the knock sensors and jiggle them with the meter hooked up.
    2
  169. 45:04 you want to tack both sides down before putting a solid weld in. It can draw the bracket over.
    2
  170. 12:47 no wonder it lasted for 95,000 miles. Lol
    2
  171. 4:28 these companies need to build an Appropriate engine bay for these bulky turbo diesel engines.
    2
  172. 11:20 I would lower that transmission and roll it back a couple of feet because you've got that trans jack. It would be good to have a helper with bulky jobs like this.
    1
  173. 15:00 at this point I would try all thread. You can cut a custom length of it as long as the thread count is good. My local Napa has a good fastener section as well.
    1
  174. YEAH!!!
    1
  175. 28:59 lololol 🤣 LMFAO!!! I got a call like this from the IRS. Scammers need to be publicly humiliated and punished.
    1
  176. 8:06 lololol, it's true!
    1
  177. If you've got the room, a sliding gate is really good.
    1
  178. 9:41 me too buddy. It's a simple solution to a complicated problem when you can't figure out what bolts and where are they?!!! Lol
    1
  179. 13:51 Master Yoda. " Do or do not, there is no try." Lol
    1
  180. This reminds me that I need to put some fresh gear lube in my G37S. It's got almost 100,000 miles on it and I don't know if it's been done before I bought it.
    1
  181. 15:10 looks like that exhaust leak has been cooking the transmission.
    1
  182. Just keep driving it with a five quart jug of oil handy.
    1
  183. 17:35 I would have cussed up a storm by now. Friggin, frakkin!!!!
    1
  184. I like that car. I drove one that had a carburetor, 84ish I think. It was gutless and squealed it's tires while turning corners at low speed with body roll. It was very comfortable. It was so comfy that I almost fell asleep 3 times on a midnight road trip through the desert. It was a good car until the timing chain popped. We couldn't get this one long bolt to come out of the block to remove the timing cover. We tried all kinds of methods for removal. Nothing worked, it got scrapped.
    1
  185. 0:01 it's just a cold diesel with bad glow plugs. Lol
    1
  186. 21:43 what a nightmare
    1
  187. It's emissions compliant in China because it's not a two stroke. Lol That four stroke engine is part of the new green deal. Lololol
    1
  188. 16:00 Spaceballs the movie, remember that part that's just what you are describing here? Lololol What ever you do, don't handle any banking or online purchases with that mystery computer.
    1
  189. 14:36 I feel your pain buddy.
    1
  190. Oooohhhh Nnnnooooooo, not again!!! Lololol
    1
  191. 0:01 Deb-Riss, get it right!! Lol
    1
  192. 6:44 weight reduction. Lololol
    1
  193. 28:29 my love for PB Blaster is real. I even love the smell of it. Good ol' Peanut butter blaster. Lololol 🤣
    1
  194. 44:21 it's always a good idea to disconnect your battery before welding on your vehicle.
    1
  195. That little red car would be fun with an engine swap from a Hayabusa. Lol
    1
  196. 17:09 this is the type of opportunity for me to make my corny joke when towing a car with my flatbed trailer. Hey look at this jerk tailgating me, back off pal!!!
    1
  197. 14:56 my nemesis, crusty oil/grease dirt cake. It always finds a way into my eyes and hair. EEEERRRR!!!!!
    1
  198. 11:27 you forgot to use PB Blaster.
    1
  199. 3:45 Don't go buying Grey Market Uranium from the Iranians. Lol
    1
  200. 3:03 or oilant. Lol
    1
  201. Knock on wood, the nightmare is over! Lol
    1
  202. 23:22 at least it's not gear lube. Lol
    1
  203. You and your camera are firing on all eight.
    1
  204. 1:18 My 1998 Z28 Camaro was the same way . On the freeway with cruise control on in sixth gear the AC would stop blowing from the vents on the hills. I would turn off the cruise control and downshift to fifth gear and the air would start flowing from the vents again from the manifold vacuum spike during the downshift.
    1
  205. Nice work Ray.
    1
  206. 15:56 I like that repurposed diagnostic tool.
    1
  207. It lives! I can't believe it! Lol
    1
  208. 7:29 you should demonstrate your knowledge of the FORCE by using the bread method or the axle grease and broom stick method. Lol
    1
  209. 8:02 just take a step outside to cool down. Lol
    1
  210. 38:57 you're forgetting the firewall harness clips and fasteners.
    1
  211. 30:50 I missed it, I'm fired!!! Lol
    1
  212. 22:56 this is where you hop in and bounce the vehicle up and down like you just don't care. Lol You want to settle the vehicle at ride height by pivoting those A-arms a little.
    1
  213. 8:50 lololol 🤣 nice touch.
    1
  214. 7:56 That's too much labor. To get to this point and make an assumption about where the oil is leaking. What a disaster.
    1
  215. 2:17 Watch that shit Ray! You might go on an epic adventure. Lololol 🤣
    1
  216. 23:10 Open Country's rolling through confined country. Lol
    1
  217. 4:10 you can make life easier by putting the the truck on the lift and taking the wheels off. Then you can lower the truck further than ride height.
    1
  218. Good work Ray.
    1
  219. What a pain. If I tried to do this, there would be lots of cussing and some cut up hands.
    1
  220. 6:05 I found the problem before you did Ray, it's a POS Equinox/Saturn Vue engine. Lololol 🤣
    1
  221. Maybe someone hurt the computer while jump starting the car. I noticed that you said the battery was low. I would disconnect the battery, reconnect with a fully charged battery and try again with the scanner.
    1
  222. I'm convinced that I will not be buying one of these trucks now. Lol Do you have to lift the body off of a Cummins powered Dodge truck to do this kind of service/upgrade?
    1
  223. 40:58 good idea.
    1
  224. 46:49 Murphy!!!! You BASTARDO!!! Lololol
    1
  225. 2012 Buick Concerned.
    1
  226. 16:01 you don't have to cut on it thanks to that heavy duty lift you've got. Lucky!!! Lol
    1
  227. 5:38 probably not. These are notorious for gremlins. Not quite a Part Time Cruiser, but complicated with expensive parts.
    1
  228. 23:04 I've heard this sound a few times. Lol The pin got a nice shave. Haha
    1
  229. I've done this by accident before. Lol
    1
  230. I like to watch that rust shower down out of that truck. Weight reduction. Lololol
    1
  231. 35:48 RRRREEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ohh ok you got me lol!!!
    1
  232. I drove one of those cars once. The old 5.0 EFI makes a lot of off idle torque. The one I drove spun the back wheels instantly.
    1
  233. 8:50 to prevent axle wrap.
    1
  234. 11:42 looks like a Volkswagen VR6.
    1
  235. 43:03 I hope that dude isn't taking a permanent nap in his shiny car. Maybe he's a private investigator that fell asleep after investigating his own privates. Lol
    1
  236. 10:15 that spare tire saved you from oblivion, you owe it a beer. Lol
    1
  237. 17:00 I drive them in with a BFH.
    1
  238. 1:17 I still prefer the LS1 with a T56 six speed manual transmission behind it. So much fun.
    1
  239. 29:03 give the parts boy ten lashes for continuous failure and send him back to the Biden administration where he belongs. Lol
    1
  240. 34:16 Get Some!!! Lol they scoot down the road pretty good.
    1
  241. 17:15 that's one nasty tostada. Lol 😆
    1
  242. 21:12 you need to upgrade to 3 for 1 with loud noises as well. Lol
    1
  243. 1:55 Nah, it's just a Ford, that's normal. Lololol RREEE!
    1
  244. 30:57 what's wrong with it Carl? It ain't got no gas in it. 😆
    1
  245. I like the tire repair videos. It's all part of auto care. My tire guys at discount tire only changed my back tires because for some reason my back tires wear out faster lol. But for some reason all my dust caps are missing. Maybe the same forgetful guy did a final pressure check all around and forgot my dust caps.
    1
  246. 40:09 deja Vu, it's a glitch in the matrix!!! Lololol
    1
  247. 3:39 Crow T. Robot at your service.
    1
  248. 21:01 I would remedy the situation by parking that POS right in the middle of a demo derby as the centerpiece.
    1
  249. That cross member is very nice, much more convenient than the old trucks.
    1
  250. Thanks for the tour of the shop Ray. It's coming along nicely.
    1
  251. 29:46 just paint some red racing stripes on it to make it Customea. Lol
    1
  252. 32:40 Livin On The Edge!!!
    1
  253. 21:48 the caliper became the bearing by bearing the load. 😆 Lol
    1
  254. 14:06 not heat cycled to oblivion either.
    1
  255. 6:42 the first thing you should have done was play that Dr. Seuss shaped horn in your hands. oooooOOOOOooooo!!!!!!! Lololol 😂😂
    1
  256. 30:33 makes me wonder if the spark plug in number 3 is gapped correctly. 🤔
    1
  257. 8:43 that's ten pounds of shite in a five pound bag. It's covered in grime, can you degrease and pressure wash that area before working on it or is there too many sensitive electrical connections in the way?
    1
  258.  @DougSeaman  it's expensive , but I think it's worth it for my two small engine machines because they don't really go through that much fuel for my purpose.
    1
  259. 26:15 Finally!!! Lol
    1
  260. 13:22 I would get Troy to wiggle the knuckle outward while you pull and wiggle that bolt down.
    1
  261. What a nightmare.
    1
  262. 7:00 I always check the ground cables as well. They often get overlooked.
    1
  263. I know how to fix this problem. First replace the tensioner and fan belt on that big flatbed tow truck. Second, load that Part Time Cruiser up and haul it to the scrapyard. Problem solved. Lol
    1
  264. 0:01 OH NO YOU DIDN'T!!! Lololol
    1
  265. 37:44 brake fluid is not friendly.
    1
  266. 44:55 it's always worth changing because if it goes out, you've got to drop that transmission again to swap it out for a new one.
    1
  267. 0:01 that compressor is really happy to see you! Lololol
    1
  268. 0:48 good man. Getter done.
    1
  269. 7:00 slide hammer time.
    1
  270. 15:43 R2D2'S southern cousin PF7.
    1
  271. 3:47 is that PB Blaster? PB is my favorite.
    1
  272. 48:35 Livin On The Edge! Lol
    1
  273. What a pain to work on, no room.
    1
  274. 8:42 it looks like the 302 is externally balanced.
    1
  275. 3:50 lololol 🤣 let's make some Urinaide!
    1
  276. 37:59 I've heard that the older square shaped S-10 has more room under the hood for a V8 swap.
    1
  277. 6:00 nice shot of my buddy Peanut Butter Blaster.
    1
  278. It's good to have a go to miscellaneous junk draw or treasure chest. Lol
    1
  279. 10:15 Reah Ray, it's fun doin truck stuff.
    1
  280. 5:55 good ole PB Blaster. My favorite. I like the smell of it too.
    1
  281. It sucks not having money for new tires when you REALLY need them.
    1
  282. 7:00 lololol what, no Otter pops?!!
    1
  283. 19:01 a more eloquent version of, It is what it is.
    1
  284. 36:08 still open header dude. Gotta put studs on the outlet and seal the pipe with that donut. Edit: nevermind I forgot that you're dealing with a Y-Pipe.
    1
  285. 11:09 lololol, what happened to Troy? Sounds like he took a roundhouse kick to the gut from Walker Texas Ranger. Haha
    1
  286. 44:57 Ray, you're a brave man. Lol
    1
  287. 17:33 I've used a speed wrench like device to drill wood planks on my dad's corral , out at the ranch. It was in the 80s and there was no power out there. The drill had a knob on the back so you can apply pressure to the bit. The crank had a sleeve grip so your hand wouldn't get hurt. It worked but it took some time and effort.
    1
  288.  @markanderson2904  it should have been called heave and crank. Lol
    1
  289. 11:20 flex seal it!!! Lololol
    1
  290. 4:54 Nice Touch! Lol
    1
  291. Power window replacement is close to the top of my shit list. Top position is working inside and under the dash. No thank you!
    1
  292. 16:09 with only 75,000 miles on a 2007 I would go with the same move. It's cheap and easy, just like me. Lol
    1
  293. 0:01 Master Destructo!!!
    1
  294. 24:35 it's always good to disconnect the battery before striking an arc on an automobile. This is where I would use one of those jackstands to make life easier.
    1
  295. 6:32 You got me good here! Lololol 🤣
    1
  296. 4:15 you need a portable band saw right here.
    1
  297. 34:39 you got me pulling my hair out. Lolol I'm glad you went back to clean the rust off of the frame.
    1
  298. 25:08 Rubber Baby Buggy Bumper!!!
    1
  299. This is the opposite of your big diesel one ton.
    1
  300. 7:42 Ray, are you Rick Rolling us right now?! Lololol I thought I recognized that sound. Haha 😆
    1
  301. 19:38 Dirka, Dirka, Dirka! Bacalacastan!
    1
  302. You didn't order overnight parts from Japan when you ordered that filter.
    1
  303. 29:20 That AC line was designed by Dr. Seuss. Lol
    1
  304. I love this. Lol Have a Merry Christmas ⛄🎄
    1
  305. 13:25 just put er in park and set the brake.
    1
  306. 39:24 this is where I use dielectric grease to try and slow the battery terminal corrosion.
    1
  307. 31:50 nope, not without fuel pressure. Lol
    1
  308. 30:50 that guy works for the IRS too. Lololol I got a call from him when he was working for the IRS. I put that guy on speaker for the whole restaurant to hear him for lunch. I disrespected him for trying to scam people and some old guy at the restaurant scolded me for it. I explained that the IRS does not call you to collect money because they know where you live. They send a letter. He still mad dogged me as I was trying to educate the people in the restaurant while the scammer was on speaker phone trying to interrupt me. There is a special punishment for scammers that prey on the elderly.
    1
  309. Put that engine in a foxbody Mustang and send the rest of it to the scrapyard. Those 351 Windsor's were great engines.
    1
  310. 7:40 I didn't know that the Miata had a Torque Arm. My 98 Z28 Camaro had a Torque Arm, lower control arms, and a panhard bar in the rear suspension.
    1
  311. 44:26 shopvac says, "Pa, I've got the black lung" cough - cough
    1
  312. 35:36 Aaahhh!! You forgot your magnetic tool on the bottom of the lift's arm. Oh noooo. Lol
    1
  313. 12:25 Crow T. Robot Jr. At your service!
    1
  314. When I hear the name Troy, Troy built pops up in my head. I think they make some mowers and brush hogs. Lol
    1
  315. 32:56 you had to cut the scene where you beat the parts delivery boy with the incorrect AC hose. Lololol 🤣 I'll have to purchase the director's cut. Haha
    1
  316.  @dddevildogg  because it's your job to successfully deliver the correct part to the right shop. Anything less is a total failure that only you can be held responsible for! Assume the position!
    1
  317. 1:55 nice. I can't get pure gasoline where I'm at. If I could find some, I would put it in my motorcycle for summer storage.
    1
  318. 14:07 I see you're getting your iron again.
    1
  319. 1:28 timing belts in a diesel engine. 😢
    1
  320. 3:23 that looks like a character from mystery science theater 3000. Lol
    1
  321. Dimmer switch, and on the old cars the starter switch was on the floor back when people called them self commencers.
    1
  322. 2:19 a quick answer for nosy people. Lol and what ever I feel like, GOSH!!! And, I'm going to a seminar. A seminar about what? I'm going to a seminar about minding your own BUSINESS!!! You should go. Lol
    1
  323. 15:05 those aren't converters, they're expansion chambers. Lol
    1
  324. 3:20 you talk Yankee boy! Lololol
    1
  325. 13:34 you can learn some advanced rollback techniques from Towtruck Dustin right here on YouTube.
    1
  326. 50:05 If that amp is a mono or single channel, you can use all of those speaker connections and still run parallel for lower ohms. They give you extra connections so it's easier to connect multiple voice coils and or subwoofers. I really like Rockford Fosgate and MTX, Kicker, Precision Power, JP and Kenwood head units.
    1
  327. 25:06 the ABS computer would be having some trouble from those inputs. Lol 😆
    1
  328. 1:07:45 She deserves a Toyota Sienna. Some of my folks had a Honda Odyssey. It got the name Super Van because when you needed it to transport you or your family, it would reliably break down on you. Lol
    1
  329. 2:50 is that a can of P.B. Blaster? That's my go to rust buster
    1
  330. 25:00 I'm glad you've got the battery disconnected. Gasoline vapors and a powerful spark could make this an involuntary BBQ video.
    1
  331. 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
  332. 30:47 Ray, that's normal. You are doing a lot at once. Filming, commentary, and trying to align the planets at the same time. All I can do is cuss, bleed, throw a fit, take a break to come up with a solution, buy a specialty tool at the store, then go back to it with a better than 50% chance of success.
    1
  333. 50:45 Let me explain why you don't want to buy any vehicle with this type of crapola under the intake manifold and valve covers.
    1
  334. 8:40 it's fun for Halloween if it's non toxic. Lol
    1
  335. 20:08 Danger lurks directly ahead of you.
    1
  336. 27:37 I would try the hot wrench right here. I would heat the sleeve and then smack it with a hammer.
    1
  337. 31:58 not me, I download obnoxious ringers and notifications from Zedge for my phone. Lol
    1
  338. 1:18 low bridge!!!!
    1
  339. I would change both wheel bearings with that kind of mileage on the clock.
    1
  340. 1:24 you must have promised Happy meals and drove past McDonald's. Lololol 🤣
    1
  341. 15:35 lololol it happens to all of us!!!
    1
  342. 7:00 Mr. Banks doesn't fool around.
    1
  343. 9:54 you got me lmao 🤣.
    1
  344. 22:45 load it towards the right side of the trailer so you have more room to open the driver's door.
    1
  345. 27:11 😂 She will have her revenge. Look for a squirt gun in the office fridge. Lol
    1
  346. 24:48 yeah buddy, right down the middle. Good work.
    1
  347. 42:48 just put Troy in the trunk for ballast. Lol
    1
  348. 37:35 OH NO, things are escalating! Lol
    1
  349. 38:29 that's what happens when you cross the Wife Unit. Lol
    1
  350. 22:26 I would get a new caliper, CV axle, and wheel bearing hub assembly for the passenger side as well. The wheel bearings are ready to come apart on the other side of the truck too.
    1
  351. Peter needs to paint green and pink polka dots on that strut while you're away for an OCD triggering prank. Lol
    1
  352. 20:02 wow, the flicker rate makes the steering wheel look like it belongs on a space ship from the 50s. Lol cool car
    1
  353. The customer needs a fast and sturdy five across the face. Lol
    1
  354. 28:25 at this point the balancer falls off the crank and hits you in the face. Lololol that's what would happen to me.
    1
  355. 17:10 or your super fancy diagnostic scanner. Lol
    1
  356. 15:09 you're getting your months worth of iron when you breath.
    1
  357. 26:04 I've got my dad's old drum brake tools just for doing this. One is like plyers and the others are like a screw driver for pressing those springs and retainers.
    1
  358. 41:04 shroud that fan.
    1
  359. Ray, your the man! Stay safe.
    1
  360. 30:14 I agree, good call.
    1
  361. 0:28 lololol 🤣, don't be so mean to your ridin buddy. In a pinch, she converts into an eight piece meal. Haha
    1
  362. 24:52 the engineers that made this cost effective decision should be ashamed.
    1
  363. 21:32 you're not going to just replace it with a FRAM filter like the quick lube shops try to do every time? Lololol
    1
  364. 38:12 I wonder if you can hook a vacuum pump to the brake hose fitting on the caliper to suck those whackamole pistons down. Lol what a pain
    1
  365. 12:00 your tires are looking nice and new still.
    1
  366. 38:37 the pinnacle of modern engineering. Lololol
    1
  367. 20:44 lololol, Troy's needing ANOTHAA can of Brake clean!!!
    1
  368. 34:13 Ray, ask Peter if he knows what an upper decker is.
    1
  369. 0:36 PF7, R2D2's cousin from the south. Lol
    1
  370. 8:05 keep an old cardboard box for a flat screen TV handy for the poor man's creeper.
    1
  371. 19:45 nice touch. It's a good thing we don't have smellovision. Lol that oil is old enough to vote. Hahaha
    1
  372. 9:24 I want one of those.
    1
  373. 0:38 that's a master key from Sunnyvale Trailer Park. Lololol 😂
    1
  374. 47:00 you might as well spray some more penetrant oil in the hole to let it soak overnight. Can you get a drill bit in there? That's a terrible place for this to happen. I hope you can get that small piece of broken bolt out of there without having to remove the cylinder head.
    1
  375. 5:29 looks like that driveline was removed with deadly force. Lol
    1
  376. 7:50 I was wondering about that. I changed the doors out on my old Suburban that has an ignition key and a door key. Now I have two door keys. The original key is still necessary for the barn doors on the rear end.

  377. 0:47 I bought a set of stud extraction sockets from Napa back when I did the clutch on my 1998 Camaro Z28. Heat cycling over decades of time makes for a real pain in the arse of a job, and those extractors saved my bacon. They're like sockets with three roller bearings in them. When you twist them, they grip the stud with the roller bearings that bite into the stud and allow you to turn them loose.
    1
  378. 22:00 show of hands. Who here has accidentally placed a dipstick across both battery terminals. Lol
    1
  379. 35:36 NNNNOOOOO!!!!!!! Not the dreaded under and behind the dashboard limbo. My back hurts just thinking about it. Lol
    1
  380. 12:52 Mike the Scavenger has a good YouTube channel. I think he's over in Texas. He does curbside and dumpster diving.
    1
  381. 59:12 Vice City. VROCK is playing Love Fist, turn it up!!!!
    1
  382. Is that engine known for running for a long time like a Toyota? Or is this a rare one?
    1
  383. 10:02 And that's the customer calling back to cancel the repair work for her van after you've removed all that stuff in the way. Lol
    1
  384. 11:09 that's a good looking rig.
    1
  385. 5:09 Eagle One polish will shine that up pretty good. It's called Nevr Dull and it's in a shiny can.
    1
  386. 1:34 that sounds cool, like an old arcade machine.
    1
  387. 9:07 my favorite, PB Blaster, good stuff.
    1
  388. 34:25 I would hold off with the skid plate until that oil pan is full of oil and the engine is running to check for leaks.
    1
  389. 37:52 Livin On The Edge!!!
    1
  390. 17:52 maybe the previous technician criss crossed the O2 sensor plugs under the hood.
    1
  391. 7:01 who the hell is trying to work here?
    1
  392. Wiring gremlins strike again! Those bastardos!!!

  393. You're getting your IRON just by being near this Honda Pilot. Lol
    1
  394. There's a glitch in the Matrix!
    1
  395. I'm glad that transmission is working good. What a journey. Lol
    1
  396. 23:30 I love the random shouting/singing in the shop, it's always good for a laugh.
    1
  397. 24:40 pack it full of grease and put a shaft that fits perfectly in the pilot bearing into that hole. Smack the shaft with a hammer to use hydraulic pressure against the pilot bearing. You can use bread too. I've done it when my new pilot bearing puller was too big for the hole and the parts stores were closed.
    1
  398.  @ivananderzen5287  brake fluid is corrosive
    1
  399.  @ivananderzen5287  does it neutralize the corrosion or just spread the brake fluid everywhere. I use brake cleaner to get grime off of the rotors and many other parts of the car.
    1
  400. You don't need UV Rays, not when you've got OG RAY Infront of your car. Lol
    1
  401. 32:33 the woodpecker says thank you for bringing his mobile home in out of the storm. Lol

  407. 0:01 Troy's not a Chevy Guy? How Dare You!!! Lololol

  408. Willys-Overland has a website with the parts that are hard to find for older Jeeps.
    1
  409. 19:48 aaaahhhh!!! Your fingers Ray! Turn it off. You make a living with those hands, you need to keep them.
    1
  410. 35:48 lololol 🤣, that's my problem. Don't be like me Ray. Get er done.
    1
  411. 1:49 lololol 🤣
    1
  412. Good job Ray.
    1
  413. 15:18 and you know it's not going to be Japanese Industrial Standard.
    1
  414. 36:10 heck yeah, it's interesting.
    1
  415. 37:00 You should get ahold of Adept Ape on YouTube. He's a Caterpillar technician with a pretty good channel.
    1
  416. 0:27 looks like a Honda Pilot.
    1
  417. 6:00 progressive throttle - torque management aka the nannies. Designed to keep your transmission and axle in one piece. Lol is this going to let you do Mustang stuff? Lol
    1
  418. 6:24 that fluid doesn't look right.
    1
  419. 18:49 I knew it!! Lol

  420. 28:52 Don't forget about that sweet stereo system. Lol

  421. 0:29 Biden voters. Lololol 🤣

  422. I've got some folks in my family wilth a Honda Odyssey, they call it the super van jokingly because of all the times it let them down. Lol It has gym subscription at the local repair shop. Haha
    1
  423. Nice, new shoes for the tow rig.
    1
  424. 38:55 Dodgeball the movie!!! At the fundraiser car wash for Average Joe's Gym. Lololol
    1
  425. I've seen a lot of peptobismal coming out of the radiators lately. I wonder if these newer coolants aren't protecting the transmission coolers from oxidation. Or maybe the build quality went down on a particular vendor that sells to the big three. Either way it looks like changing the radiator every 10 to 12 years might be the way to go with these brands.
    1
  426. 1:38 getting plenty of iron today.
    1
  427. 39:32 I know you do your best to please the customer but this guy brought you the wrong parts to install. That caused the delay. I would make that guy wait for a job well done.
    1
  428. Thanks for bringing us along Ray, this was awesome.
    1
  429. The Stinkbug stance. Lol
    1
  430. 12:17 it's a Starwars speeder now.
    1
  431. 12:26 what are them boys smokin over there. Lol
    1
  432. 42:12 MAF, IAC, fuel pressure regulator?
    1
  433. Deja Vu Ray!!!!
    1
  434. 47:25 looks like a 1970ish Barracuda.
    1
  435. Did they fire you for using too much Brake Cleaner? Lololol 🤣
    1
  436. 10:50 I love it when your coworkers sing loud and proud. Lol
    1
  437. 12:06 lololol 🤣 I love it
    1
  438. The car stereo guys are using lithium banks and multiple high output alternators in their vehicles with multiple strands of heavy Guage power cable. You might as well put a subwoofer box under your back seat and upgrade your factory speakers. Lol
    1
  439. 18:14 sounds like some cavitation as well.
    1
  440. 23:55 lololol 🤣

  441. 4:54 Oh Hell NO!!! Get your ass the hell out of my toolbox!!!!

  442. 21:48 Crow T. Robot makes another appearance. Lol

  443. This happened to me a month ago. My shiter still isn't quite right. I don't know if I'm just getting older or some kind of super bug got me.
    1
  444. 37:50 I find myself squinting my eyes right here. Lol the dreaded greasedirt is coming for your eyeballs.
    1
  445. 8:30 is that bottom shelf dedicated to brake cleaner? Lol Or does it have it's own storage room? Haha 😆
    1
  446. 25:36 whoa, whoa you're scaring me!!! Lololol
    1
  447. I like the LBZ Durimax
    1
  448. 33:30 and this where I noticed another Infiniti in front of you. Looks like my G37, Same color.
    1
  449. I wanted more floor scrubber. That machine looked interesting. I definitely wanted to see a before and after floor cleaning video. Someone left the lug nuts loose on the back wheels of my 89 Suburban. Luckily I found out on a side street under 40MPH. The rear drivers side fell down and I was grinding pavement with a drum brake and hub while a 37X12.50 mud terrain was passing me on the left and heading for the busy intersection in front of me. I lucked out and the wheel bounced into the ditch. I back tracked and found all my lug nuts with no damage to them or the studs. I put it back together and torqued all the wheels with a big star wrench.
    1
  450. 8:15 the Chevy Equinox has two screws and clips on that panel. Seems like over kill.
    1
  451. 10:18 Ray you better call the Ghost Busters!!! Lol
    1
  452. Have fun on vacation! Wohoo
    1
  453. Jeep= Just Eternally Expensive Partswaping Boat= Bust Out Another Thousand Lololol

  454. 27:42 what about that vent hose extension?
    1
  455. 27:42 Debbris, my dream girl. Lol
    1
  456. I remember the Pontiac version of this car. These came with an LS4 V8 option.
    1
  457. Happy Halloween RAY!!! You're the man!!! Maybe you'll use less brake cleaner now that you have to pay for it. Lololol 🤣 You need to hire someone you trust to manage the shop while you're under the hood. Maybe a tire and brakes guy in the future. You got the skills, now you need some help and good luck. SUCCESS!!!!
    1
  458. 8:00 it's moments like this that makes me realize that diesel trucks aren't any fun to own. That engine should be 30% smaller for that engine bay. It belongs under the cab of an Isuzu box truck. Or make a special pickup with a larger engine bay for the Duramax.
    1
  459. 23:05 pull that fuse and probe both sides of the plug to find out where the power is coming from. Then put your piggyback on the opposite side so that you utilize the 10 amp fuse.
    1
  460. 11:25 aaaaahhhh!!!! My eye!!!
    1
  461. 13:07 hahaha, weight reduction. Ray, you're bolting a battle bumper on the back. You can forget about weight reduction. Lol
    1
  462. 45:37 when the Alpha Brain hits. Lololol 😂
    1
  463. 29:28 all that and that guy is still stuck at a red light while his METH LAB is burning!!! Lololol 🤣
    1
  464. 21:54 you woke up both wood peckers. Lolol
    1
  465. 2:35 I had some kid at a tire shop do that to me. I told him that the air filter doesn't go on the rim and he still kept trying to sell me a new air filter because my old filter had oil on it and was filthy looking. I directed him to the K&N sticker on the airbox lid and he still didn't understand. Eerr
    1
  466. 1:00 I see that Starwars Speeder hoovering in your shop.
    1
  467. 20:22 Giggidy
    1
  468. 12:15 Round One, FIGHT!!! Lol
    1
  469. 38:20 you're not kidding, what a pain in the arse!
    1
  470. Not exactly Trail Rated, is it.
    1
  471. 19:41 Don't jinx it Ray! 😆
    1
  472. You can tease your buddy by calling him RePeter. Lol
    1
  473. 3:34 that's so the engine blows up while you are driving it. So they can say "what did you do to my car man?!!!" Lol
    1
  474. 5:24 Now you're really Livin On The Edge!!!! Lol
    1
  475. 18:51 that's how I drink my wine.
    1
  476. 42:50 Don't make me get the HOT WRENCH!!! Lololol 😂
    1
  477. 4:08 gasoline doesn't last long in storage. The only gasoline that can last for a long time is Aviation gas. If I get a generator, I want one that runs on natural gas from home and it needs to be water cooled because I live in the wasteland. That's why I buy Tru Fuel in the can for chainsaws and lawnmowers because it's storable, but too expensive.
    1
  478. 0:55 It's a permanently burdened Silverado with it's extra heavy SUV body. Lol
    1
  479. 41:50 Remote turn on wire connection.
    1
  480. 36:56 did you put the fuel line plastic retainer back on Ray?
    1
  481. 21:37 it would be nice if they would send you a plug adapter so you don't have to hack on the factory wiring. I had to do this too for my mom's Blazer. I ordered an AC Delco unit so that it would plug right in, boy was I wrong.
    1
  482. 34:28 if the battery works and that fuel isn't too ancient, it should fire.
    1
  483. 2:43 a part time cruiser or puto cruiser, this car will singlehandedly keep your shop open. It's the modern day equivalent to the Dodge Diplomat of yesteryear. Lololol
    1
  484. 0:21 sounds like an old Detroit Diesel. Lol If it ain't leakin oil, there's no oil it!
    1
  485. I use Royal Purple fuel system treatment and stabilizer in my motorcycle during summer storage. I just fired it up for riding season here in the Wasteland. We're down to 100-95 degrees for the high. Woohoo!! I also plug a battery tender in for storage.
    1
  486. 0:58 Julian, from the Sunnyvale Trailer Park. Lol
    1
  487. 0:14 I would guess that the drive belt was gone at this point.
    1
  488. Ray, you're a madman!!! Lololol 🤣 I would never have the gonads to do this on my own. It's always good to have an extra set of eyes for something like this. It's always good to put plumbobs through the body mounts and mark the floor for reference. That way you can line up the chassis later. This is pretty exciting, what a big job.
    1
  489. 8:31 it's behaving it's self because you've got the babysitter plugged in. Lol
    1
  490. 31:33 a joke from elementary school. What's grosser than gross? A two story out house. Bonus, with both floors occupied!!! Bottom floor occupant receives an odd stinky hat.
    1
  491. 40:00 so basically it snowballed out of control. I can relate. Lol I like to see you and your wife work as a team. You two are blessed.
    1
  492. I've seen dumbasses doing Mustang stuff on the highway while driving a heavily modified Super duty crew cab lifted diesel. At 7000 pounds plus, it could do twice the kinetic damage of a car. A couple of young douche bags playing with Dad's truck.
    1
  493. 24:16 wheel speed sensor.
    1
  494. Merry Christmas
    1
  495. 29:36 Wire Ferrules are what you need here.
    1
  496. 26:14 I looked it up. Mad Max 1979. The Road Warrior 1981. Beyond Thunder Dome 1985.
    1
  497. 4:51 that must be some serious high temp paint. Lol I bet that thing was a stinky ride after that paint job. Haha Too bad we can't have a blue dye launcher under the car that's activated with your anti theft system when you hit the lock button on your key.
    1
  498. Another plastic disaster. They cram to much stuff in one little space so you have to remove five or more parts to get to something as simple as a thermostat housing. My worst nightmare is working inside or under the dashboard. What a major pain.
    1
  499. 14:44 OOOOHHH NNNNOOOOO!!!! You need a trained shop mouse to route that harness. Lololol Troy's on latrine duty now.
    1
  500. Be careful with those. My buddy had to cut those out and replace the thread inserts in the frame. They were removed and new ones were welded in. I hope he used anti seize on the new bolts during reassembly.
    1
  501. 24:59 this is where you yell out HEADACHE!!!
    1
  502. 12:57 heck yeah I like it. This is exciting, there are options for you with this nice trailer.
    1
  503. Note to self: don't buy a car with 1234yf refrigerant.
    1
  504. 18:20 PB Blaster is what I like to use on crusty bolts.
    1
  505. 1:03 this happens to me when I see a picture of Rosie O'Donnell. Lol
    1
  506. 48:06 Good Man Ray.
    1
  507. 12:10 Overnight Parts from Japan. Lol
    1
  508. 17:14 Dang, those intake ports are so big, your voice is echoing through them. Lol
    1
  509.  @randybeard6040  Yep, I bought the car used and I think it was the original fluid. So I giver the turbo flush. Lol
    1
  510. 7:02 the sound of the mighty Penta cylinder. Lololol
    1
  511. 1:00:29 don't forget to crank the steering wheel left and right to get the air out. That will drop your fluid level.
    1
  512. 9:35 don't go driving through flood water or your truck will become steam powered. Lol
    1
  513. I love this video.
    1
  514. It's a greasy job. Road grime and grease or oil combine to make a dirty work environment. In order to keep a certain level of cleanliness, it's necessary to have something to cleanse with. The worst is when grease dirt comes loose and falls right in your eyes.
    1
  515. Battery tender for your dump trailer battery. I've got four of them running to keep my fleet ready to fire up.
    1
  516. Might as well order some new upper A arms to complete the front end rebuild.
    1
  517. 0:01 Pepto Bismol!!!! Hahaha 😂 Merry Christmas Ray and family!!!!
    1
  518. 29:02 let it out big guy, we feel your pain.
    1
  519. 0:27 I've done this a couple of times. I coffee grindered my ring and pinion on my 1970 Malibu and my front differential with a 08 Nissan Titan.
    1
  520. 23:50 aluminum heads, why not use the torque wrench? Hand threaded and torqued to specification for quality service. As a customer, I would appreciate the care taken not to cross thread my plugs and ruin the cylinder heads.
    1
  521. 16:55 I've got a solution, push it outside and light it on fiiiiyyyyaaaa!!!! Lololol
    1
  522. 8:30 I changed the plugs out on my mom's 2004 Blazer with the 4.3 liter V6. I had to go through the wheel well. I put it on jackstands and removed the front wheels. On the drivers side, I had to separate the steering shaft from the box to get a socket on the plug in the middle of the bank, if I remember correctly. Not much room in that engine bay.
    1
  523. 16:07 keeping her on her toes. Lol
    1
  524. I helped a guy that decided to floor it through about 1.5 feet deep water. It was a Chevy van from around 1990. It was locked up solid. We removed the doghouse, pulled the sparkplugs, and cranked er over it shot water everywhere from the sparkplug holes. Lol. I dried the plugs off and put them back in. That thing shot water out of the exhaust when it tried to fire. That small block Chevy survived somehow . I told him to get the oil changed ASAP. He learned to take another route than a flooded underpass that day , or at least take it easy while driving through a puddle. Lol
    1
  525. Brake fluid gets so nasty because nobody hardly ever exchanges it. I use a turkey baster or miximizer for two cycle pre mix measuring to suck as much crap out of the reservoir as possible. Put fresh brake fluid in and then with an assistant on the brake pedal, I push the old fluid out of the system at the rear wheels first. When the fluid is clear I seal it up and recheck the reservoir level. I do this with a hydraulic clutch too.
    1
  526. I was thinking sway bar bushings or exhaust hanger trouble. Maybe heat shield.
    1
  527. 37:56 and a tie rod.
    1
  528. 7:50 now you're cooking with oil. Lol
    1
  529. 6:51 My middle school brain makes jokes right here. Lol
    1
  530. Econoline van 350
    1
  531. That's a shame, the spirit is willing, but the spine of the truck is almost gone.
    1
  532. 14:20 Question. Why can't an automatic transmission have an external canister filter that can be easily changed without having to drop the transmission pan? A magnetic drain plug would be nice to.
    1
  533. 42:36 that thing is a Sunnyvale Cruiser now! Lolol
    1
  534. 19:18 A Gusset, good idea 💡.
    1
  535. 23:00 mmmmm coffee!!! Lol
    1
  536. A family effort, that's what I like to see.
    1
  537. 10:59 Get in there nice and deep like. Lol
    1
  538. 18:15 Mmmm Stinky Syrup
    1
  539. 14:05 inside the radiator.
    1
  540. My car says 32 psi on the body but I run 33 psi because I'm a rebel. Lol
    1
  541. 8:30 burnouts!!! I'm on to you Ray, you're turning Hoonigan on us. Lololol 🤣
    1
  542. 28:42 This is where you throw it in reverse at wide open throttle. The No Mercy Reversie! Lololol 🤣
    1
  543. Damn Ray, you're getting your iron today aren't you. That's the way my 94 Corolla looked when I was changing the CV axles. The bottom was rusted out on the East coast and the top was blistered off from the Sun and heat of Phoenix Arizona. Poor car was too tough to give up.
    1
  544. This design is garbage. Let's build an overburdened Dodge Caravan.
    1
  545. 18:42 I think so.
    1
  546. 0:33 dang , this dude is ripping you a new one! Lol This was one heck of an adventure.
    1
  547. 15:18 hahaha 🤣 Ray, you need to watch The Pink Panther for reference. You totally butchered the theme song. Lol
    1
  548. 2:34 we have a heavily burdened 5.3 liter V8 because it has to propel a suburban and occupants and cargo.
    1
  549. 47:24 yeah, but we aren't melting in the humidity like you are. When I get too hot, my wires get crossed. I make many mistakes.
    1
  550. 37:58 just put a banana in the tailpipe. Lol 😆 You'll get some smoke!
    1
  551. 14:11 damn, everything is falling apart. Somebody really used the heck out of that work truck.
    1
  552. 10:12 catch 22ed it!!! Lololololol
    1
  553. 21:05 that's a crusty bastard.
    1
  554. 10:27 good man
    1
  555. 33:37 good penetrant oil is your friend. I don't want to escalate to the hot wrench on modern vehicles.
    1
  556. 11:55 check the brake fluid reservoir. It might start raining nasty dot 3 on you. Lol
    1
  557. You can fix this van quickly, send er to the shredder. Lol
    1
  558. 17:41 who's the scurvy dog responsible for this? The AutoZone parts guy or the guy ordering parts for the shop? Find out and give that salty bastard nine lashes!!!
    1
  559. 6:38 maybe it's stainless steel. You probably just need the right kind of wire for your welding machine.
    1
  560. After watching the whole video, I think the customer wanted a diagnosis for the price of an oil change.
    1
  561. That orifice tube was elusive. Lol
    1
  562. 18:14 I hope they changed their own oil a couple of times since that sticker was placed.
    1
  563. Carpe Dizzle! Seize the Mafacka!
    1
  564. 28:15 don't worry Ray, we will pervert the hell out of this. Lol
    1
  565. 11:39 lololol, finally!!
    1
  566. 18:43 you can't talk with the gift of gab whilst using the FORCE. Lol
    1
  567. 2:57 there was no Camaro at this point in time. 2003-2009 I believe is when Chevy stopped making Camaros. This was the era of the GTO.
    1
  568. 8:09 Hey, watch it now!!! Lol
    1
  569. Someone must have been Flintstoning the brake pedal on that thing.
    1
  570. Good work Ray. Thanks for pinning that short bus in the comments for us. What a negative POS.
    1
  571. 11:04 sacrificial centerpiece of a demolition derby. Come on man! Lololol
    1
  572. 9:59 You got Doctor Brown's number? Lol
    1
  573. 27:51 just replace them, you know they're done.
    1
  574. That's a good car with low mileage.

  575. 16:32 I like it. I was wondering how to hook a slide hammer to it. I think the vise grip's release mechanism won't allow this to work. I would cut the head off of that bolt and find an adapter that will thread directly to the slide hammer. Probably a tall order.
    1
  576. 17:29 NNNNOOOOO!!!!!!!! Don't do it Ray! Lololol

  577. 1:40 flex tape commercial.

  579. 0:35 Hey, my car!!! Except mine is the four door version. Fun car.
    1
  580. 10:15 how do you like peanut butter blaster Ray? I love PB Blaster, it even smells good to me. Lol
    1
  581. 1:24 my man, with the PB Blaster, the good stuff!!!
    1
  582. 27:25 good, you remembered that clamp. I'm glad 😊. Lololol
    1
  583. 19:43 UUHHH, you said, huh, huh, huh
    1
  584. 4:19 I just say there's a woodpecker living in the dash. Lol
    1
  585. 29:43 that's really nice. I like that idea. I need to get some of those.
    1
  586. 4:50 I really like this version of that song. Lol
    1
  587. 3:45 Austin Powers: that's not my bag baby. Lololol
    1
  588. 45:20 I use Trufuel with my small engine equipment. For my street bike I use Royal Purple fuel system treatment/stabilizer during summer storage. It's hotter than a rattlesnake's taint out here in the wasteland during summer. Lol I put a battery tender on it as well.
    1
  589. 3:12 wow, nicely displayed. It's like I'm watching Horsepower TV from the old days. Lol
    1
  590. 34:26 lololol, you got that right!!
    1
  591. 27:30 I would like to see the compression numbers on the other bank of cylinders.
    1
  592.  @dotar9586  heck yeah, if the cylinder pressure varied that much on one bank, I would want to check the rest of those cylinders too.
    1
  593. 1:32 Dang it!!!
    1
  594. 19:02 It looks like petrified White Lithium Grease.
    1
  595. 3:40 turn off the fan before changing the filter.
    1
  596. 31:13 those stickers didn't work at this tire shop I was at. I was getting new tires for my mom's 04 Blazer and the tire guy came to the lobby with my dirty air filter because he was fishing for extra service's. I held back my anger as I explained to him that I was here to get new tires, not a FRAM air filter. Eeeeeerrrrr!!!!
    1
  597. 0:20 hahaha
    1
  598. 19:50 Servpro, like it never even happened. Lol
    1
  599. 16:00 looks like the six shooter. When this came out, it made me want one of these trucks. Lol
    1
  600. 20:50 I would get the sawzall in there and cut the top of the bushing and the bolt at the same time with a short metal blade. Careful to check what's behind it so not to cut any wiring.
    1
  601. How dare you Ray! You can't have an opinion!! Lololol 🤣
    1
  602. 17:52 you love brake cleaner. Do you own stock in it or just love the smell of it? Lol
    1
  603. My first impression is that someone TACOED the rim.
    1
  604. I've had to work on a 2004 Blazer. It's just like that under the hood. Ten pounds of shit in a five pound bag.
    1
  605. The job security F150. Lol Steady Work for you Ray!
    1
  606. 28:11 I was wondering about that vent line on top of the diff.
    1
  607. That's a shame, those are fun little sports cars. I've never driven one because ogre's don't fit in Miata's. Lol
    1
  608. 27:01 we love you Ray. God bless you and your family. Don't let the "EXPERTS" aka Douchebags get under your skin like the lifeblood sucking tics that they are. We appreciate what you do on this channel.
    1
  609. 18:04 lol, my Nissan Titan is the same way. The dipstick has plenty of burn marks from kissing the battery.
    1
  610. 7:47 lololol

  611. 6:56 Livin On The Edge!!! Lololol 🤣

  616. I just did an oil change on my car. Lol I use full synthetic Mobile One and change it every four thousand miles. I use the trip meter for a mileage reference by resetting it with every oil change.
    1
  617. It could be steam powered.
    1
  618. 3:20 it's always good to disconnect the battery before welding on a vehicle so you don't smoke the computer.
    1
  619. 22:44 I would snake that brake booster vacuum hose through the harness first.
    1
  620. 7:53 turd Ferguson

  623. 14:07 thank goodness! The parts delivery boy will live to see another day. Lol
    1
  624. Your shop is beginning to sound like Tony Stark's. Lol
    1
  625. 38:43 I hope you got the filler hose connected or this is going to be a real short trip. Lol
    1
  626. 18:39 Looks like the rotor and caliper are becoming wheel bearings. Lol
    1
  627. 26:36 shifter linkage?
    1
  628. 6:37 clean. Nice and shiny.
    1
  629. 14:23 sounds like a clogged catalytic converter.
    1
  630. 40:30 that's it, between the tank strap and the tank.
    1
  631. 12:40 hopefully the threads of the broken bolt cleaning slag out.
    1
  632. That was a painful struggle.
    1
  633. 14:37 just get after it with your fingernails. Lololol

  634. 0:33 from Sunnyvale Nova Scotia. Lololol

  635. 45:09 I'll bet that's a wheel speed sensor or two.

  636. 0:55 Does that make you Randy baby? Oh behave!!

  637.  @mrwashur1991  there was a great episode of My Name is Earl where this pos car got a "hillbilly tune up"
    1
  638. 8:20 Round one, FIGHT!!! FLAWLESS VICTORY!!!! Lol
    1
  639. 19:30 Crow T. Robot makes another appearance. Lol
    1
  640. 20:42 Use the FORCE Ray. Lol
    1
  641. I use a throw away turkey baster to suck and blow the brake fluid in the reservoir. I get most of the sediment out and put fresh fluid in. Then I bleed the calipers until clean fluid comes out of the caliper.
    1
  642. 16:06 put a jack stand under the receiver hitch on the rear.
    1
  643. 1:45 You've got Troy, the garage door operator for that. Lol
    1
  644. 24:59 that's a good idea. I would ditch those wire nuts right now as well.
    1
  645. 18:19 they are good motors. They're good for the automotive repair industry! Lolol
    1
  646. 15:16 congratulations!!! That's a souvenir.
    1
  647. 44:21 it's always a good idea to disconnect your battery before welding on your vehicle.
    1
  648. 16:00 I got two pennies on the drive line or U joints.
    1
  649. The 7.5 inch ring gear 10 bolt differential. Why GM, WHY?! They put this axle in the V8 cars too. LS1 engine+T56 manual transmission=good bye 10 bolt rear end. Lololol
    1
  650. 22:30 you forgot your hooptie training. Remember the two foot method - left foot brake/right foot throttle. Keep er runnin. Lol
    1
  651. I'll watch anything you upload buddy, even competitive nose picking. Look at my booger, it went all the way back to my brain.
    1
  652. 28:43 hahaha 😂 it was a pleasure model before you fixed it.
    1
  653. 4:40 rotors are treated with zinc. It looks like you're welding galvanized steel. Maybe try some regular scrap steel. I use my ears and adjust the wire speed while running a bead on scrap metal. Popping is too cold, high pitched bug zapper is what I like to hear.
    1
  654. 19:57 the struggle is real, now you have to sacrifice some of your flesh and blood to get this job done. Lol
    1
  655. Is it ready to haul a roll of steel now? Lol
    1
  656. 13:49 I'm surprised with the lack of PB Blaster at this point in time.
    1
  657. 2:45 Set the parking brake and block the tires. Put it in drive to load the engine, that will usually make the engine shake.
    1
  658. 28:50 Me too. Lol
    1
  659. 2:09 aaahhh, another one of Peter's stories.
    1
  660. 27:15 Lololol 🤣 awesome, let us know what the owner of the vehicle says after the diagnosis is explained to him or her.
    1
  661. 27:19 lololol, I love it!
    1
  662. 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.
    1
  663. 16:38 That diaper is full. Lol
    1
  664. Happy Thanksgiving Ray!
    1
  665. 54:43 Phaser on stun.

  666. 38:23 reinforcements!!! Lololol
    1
  667. 38:14 PAPA. I had to look it up.
    1
  668. 14:19 Put the Guage on it. Measure that gap for science. Lol
    1
  669. 22:04 aaahhhh!!! What about that clamp on the filler hose?!!
    1
  670. 30:24 Dude it's really just one of those days. Lol the Limp Biscuit song popped into my head the first time you said that. Lol
    1
  671. 9:32 she's just doin some mowin. Lol
    1
  672. 0:01 Move out the way, My METH LAB/RV is burning!!!!!
    1
  673. 0:01 sounds like you're talking about life. Why not? It's a good thing.
    1
  674. 37:22 big exhale of relief. Lol
    1
  675. You can upgrade to a Ford 8.8 with disc brakes from a Ford Exploder.
    1
  676. Dang! A Toyota giving up before 200,000 miles. That transmission fluid was probably never changed. It probably got a flush just recently.
    1
  677. 6:37 The 2007 Duramax powered trucks were the last year for the ZF650 manual 6 speed transmission. I had to Google it. Lol Dodge was the last one to ditch the manual 6 speed transmission. The engines were getting too powerful for the manual transmissions. They could have put a stronger transmission in but it probably wouldn't shift as smooth. I got to drive my cousins 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 with a Cummins and a six speed manual transmission. That transmission shifted smoothly, much nicer than the old Saginaw 4 speed transmission of the past.
    1
  678. 17:00 I had to cut mine off because I lost the key to it. Lol
    1
  679. Positive crankcase pressure going into the intake with no fuel to wash the oil off of the intake valve.
    1
  680. Every little bit helps.
    1
  681. 26:54 Watch your fingers Troy. Open differential.
    1
  682. 5:18 how does that phone know when you are about to dig in? Lol The timing is so perfect.
    1
  683. 13:19 you'll find Debbris lurking down there. Lol
    1
  684. Hey, that's my car, almost. I've got a 2013 silver g37s. I bought it used and this was the first thing I had to do rotors and pads. It scoots down the road and stops quickly too.
    1
  685. 5:40 Honda Odyssey or Ridgeline?
    1
  686.  @eric-pi2we  or maybe it's a Honda Pilot.
    1
  687.  @eric-pi2we  the Ridgeline is a Pilot with a truck bed.
    1
  688. 9:01 rubber doesn't age well. I bought a Camaro that had perfectly new tread on it. The previous owner didn't drive it much. Those tires had been on that car for a long time. When I started to play with it, I found out the hard way. Lol I made it to the tire shop with no damage and bought a full set of tires.
    1
  689. 39:00 put some lube between the nut and washer.
    1
  690. 14:33 this happened to me with a CJ5 Jeep. The timing chain broke and split the timing cover. I ordered new parts from Overland and took it for a test drive. It broke down about five miles away. I pulled the air cleaner off the carb and had my nephew crank the engine. It was sucking some air in and blowing air out at the same time. The distributor was turning but half of the cam was not. It was an old worn out Jeep that someone had changed the instrument cluster out of to show that it only had 45 thousand miles on.
    1
  691. 5:52 that thing is freakin nasty. I've had the same cabin filter in my car since 2019, it's probably just as nasty. Lol I got to get my procrastinating ass under the dash and get er done!
    1
  692. 53:21 reminds me of myself trying to drop a duece last year. Lololol 🤣 TOO MANY NACHOS BEAVIS!!!!
    1
  693. Did that Toyota's suspension claim your right hand Ray?
    1
  694. 27:27 the car is telling you to just remove my castle nut and you can take everything. Lol
    1
  695. 30:15 that tool looks like a little character. What's his name? The Goop Gator? Lol
    1
  696. 36:22 and before the Suburban there was the Panel truck.
    1
  697. 17:38 you two got me LMFAO 🤣!!!
    1
  698. 34:25 you're doing good.
    1
  699. 2:16 sshhh, Ray, you woke up the woodpecker living in the dash. Lol
    1
  700. 24:30 getting Huggies from your little nugget is the true meaning of life.
    1
  701. My brother had a Jeep Grand Cherokee like this one with the 4.7 L V8. It was in the shop multiple times for electrical gremlins. The engine and transmission made it fun to drive but the rest of it was built with the worst quality control.
    1
  702. The right call.
    1
  703. 0:01 you got any mustard for them biscuits? Lol
    1
  704. 2:55 Ray did you get your battle plans from the movie Tremors?
    1
  705. 10:50 this is some of the worst type of work that I dread. Cut up arms and hands from sharp sheet metal, no room to work, and you can't see anything. It's up there with working under the dash. Dread it.
    1
  706. 35:40 my dad's hands were Perma Stained. He probably had 90 weight running through his veins. Lol
    1
  707. My last battery was an AGM Durilast platinum with dielectric grease on the cables. It lasted almost four years. That's good for my part of the country. I put an optima red top in because I can't get a Durilast platinum anymore.
    1
  708. 20:06 lololol, and you'll never lose fasteners that roll under your toolboxes.
    1
  709. 2:47 you might have a couple dollars worth of diesel in that filter.
    1
  710. 12:14 The Will of the FORCE...
    1
  711. 32:02 There's your gas cap click. Lol
    1
  712. 18:20 electrician's tape wrapped around the caps so you don't have to play a game of 52 pick up. Lol
    1
  713. 38:44 how much wood could a woodchuck chuck? Lololol
    1
  714. 35:19 hey, what about that vent tube?
    1
  715.  @ColdSteelCharger  that's a pretty cool scan tool.
    1
  716.  @thatsmetube  my favorite Swede, Angelica Larsson, is a cute little heavy haul trucker on YouTube. She doesn't have any new content right now but she will probably have some soon.
    1
  717. 26:16 they're heat cycled to oblivion.
    1
  718. 3:22 hahaha, prime example!
    1
  719. I love it Ray. Good work.
    1
  720. I'm that guy in the shop cussing up a storm because you've got to remove three or more items before getting to the problem area on the car. I learned how to work on vehicles with my dad. It was always a small block Chevy in a truck or full size car. Lots of room to work. Then I bought an LS1 powered Camaro Z28. I learned real fast how modern cars are such a pain to work on.
    1
  721. 3:55 disconnect the battery first.
    1
  722. Hang in there Ray and Subaru owner.
    1
  723. 2:53 I'm thinking that the belt won't be right there with the other alternator installed. It should be above that area wrapping are the auxiliary alternator pulley.
    1
  724. 26:30 this is great, for science! Lol then, ooohhh nnnooo a cop, and the teenage chuckle once you've confirmed no blue and red flashing lights. Close one lol.
    1
  725. 19:45 you're the man Ray, you made her happy.
    1
  726. Endurance plus insurance equals total car protection. Lololol 😂🤣 This happened to my brother. He had a 2012ish Chevy Impala with a clumsy transmission. The warranty company tooka month and a half to "repair" the car with a junkyard transmission. The shop asked my brother to pitch in money for new gaskets on the transmission because the warranty company would not pay for them. My brother got that car back and his wife traded it in for a new Camry with a 2.5 Liter 4 cylinder, the best possible outcome.
    1
  727. 27:49 HEY!!! Where are you going with my car!!!! Lol
    1
  728. You forgot your break room mattress. Lol
    1
  729. It's now a coffee grinder.

  730. 58:27 turn the heater on to flush out the heater core.
    1
  731. 5:45 another reason why you shouldn't keep all the keys to the kingdom on your ignition key ring.
    1
  732. What a nightmare. Vehicles are too complicated. Lol
    1
  733. It wouldn't be right if you didn't take a bath in transmission fluid. Lololol 🤣
    1
  734. 21:02 where is your easy out extractor?
    1
  735. 39:12 how did you fix the misfire?
    1
  736. 0:15 if they had a Mr. Fusion installed this pile of trash would provide a months worth of fuel.

  737. 12:17 flex pipe, I think.
