  1. You're a good man Ray. You do great work and you're honest.

  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

  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.

  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!!!

  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.

  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.

  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

  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.

  17.  @ryans413  don't forget to crank up the AC while you let the car warm up. Pop the head gasket before you sign.

  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!!!!!

  19. He owes Dom a 15 second car. Lol

  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.

  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.

  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.

  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.

  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.

  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

  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.

  31. 0:41 Aziz! LIGHT!!!! Lol what movie is that from?
    5
  32. The Outlaw Josey Wales is one of my favorite western movies.

  33. Happy Thanksgiving!

  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

  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.

  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

  39. 7:36 coolant filter. Sand comes loose from the engine's coolant passages and causes chaos for the emissions equipment.

  40. 40:30 dude, you called it.
    4
  41. Good observation, I agree.

  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.

  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.

  44. Happy Thanksgiving Ray, God bless you and your family.

  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.

  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.

  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.

  50. 11:11 maybe the fuel pump relay is getting tired.
