  1. That's not a leak, it's called CSLS (Chassis Self-Lubricating System) and it's only installed in Rust Belt vehicles. ;D

  2. But the million dollar question is: did you tighten the clamps on both sides of the MAF sensor when you finished the job, Ray? Because apparently you went on the test drive with them loose.

  3. Can we take a moment to appreciate this very rational customer? Not only they decided to go ahead with a maintenance repair on this engine, they understand that if one bearing is kaput and the other one is starting to go bad it's better to replace both, that a leaking steering rack can't be fixed in the shop and it's best to be replaced (I guess by a remanufactured one, we shall see in the next video) but also that if the front tires are not ok and the rears are still good, why not swap them instead of spending money on new ones?

  4. Judging by the position of the oil drain bolt and the oil filter, it seems Dodge must have a big share in the biggest brake cleaner manufacturer.

  5. Better yet, if the owner decides to scrap the car, Ray should get hold of the engine and send it to Eric. On a crate. Held together with a million screws. 😄

  6. You're always so careful not to cause an Exxon Valdez spill, as you call it, but then Karma hits you with a Heinz Valdez. 🤣🤣🤣

  7. Yeah, it's probably one of those drivers who only has a dashcam to point out other drivers' mistakes and not his own. When he rearends someone (because in the state those brakes are in it's definitely going to be a "when", not an "if") I bet he's going to accuse the other driver of brake checking him.

  8. It's not 2022's fault, it's been like that since the (anti)social media became widespread and easily accessible. Too many people lost the perception of reality, of what it means to live in society and of the moral values. They got so used to act that way that they can no longer distinguish between the virtual and the real world. : /

  9.  @jonsworld5307  - If he hadn't the car would immediately show a warning after he turned the engine on, so I guess "no pics but it did happen". ; )

  10. Ray: "The engine won't start with the seat up." Also Ray: starts the engine with the seat up a bunch of times
    30
  11. Yeah, everyone is blaming the shitty engine for what happened but ultimately the driver is the one to blame.

  12. SLATS = Self-Lubricating Axle Tube System. Judging by the petrified state of that diff's exterior, it sure needs it.
    27
  13. And this, kids, is why there's a thing called annual vehicle inspections. At least in the civilised world.

  14. I agree with the Fiesta owner's decision, I also wouldn't spend any money on a new blower until when the old one stops working completely.

  15. 1:28 - Telling the truth was never and never will be complaining or whining. I haven't watched the rest of the video yet but these few seconds warranted you an instant like.
    19
  16. 17:35 - Of course you do, it's the fan behind you. ; ) I'm curious: did the owner came back to fix the A/C? After the great job you did, I could bet he wouldn't take it anywhere else. : )

  17.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  - The audio was also louder and flatter compared to the other camera. The mic seems too sensitive, I can hear the music in the background (not good for copyright) and even the train honking outside.
    18
  18. An Audi? Who else was expecting to hear "look, guys, we got a pisser!", "this seal is googats" and some giggities along the way? ;D
    16
  19. 14:42 - Hey Ray, the backup camera works automatically after all!

  20. As a soldering expert, I must say: 12:07 - Right 13:30 - Wrong. Wires that are subject to pulling forces should always be twisted together before soldering. Plus, the fact that you're working in situ and in an awkward position is all the more reason to twist the wires together and avoid all that clamping needed to keep them in place when doing parallel soldering. 14:20 - You should know by now that any metal object that you put in contact with the wires will dissipate the heat, so that clamp was basically sucking some heat from the wire and that's why it took longer to make the solder melt.

  21. 8bit ftw!!! 😄

  22. The reusable ones come out very easily with a little lube. It's a bit messy but totally worth it. : )

  23. That mechanical, manual belt tensioner might be a "Toyota thing" but it sure makes it easier to remove the belt and at least it's one less part that's prone to failure like the automatic tensioners are. Fun Fact: "denso" means dense or thick in Portuguese. 😉

  24. Don't forget to fasten the external temperature sensor before you put the grill back on, Ray! 😉
    12
  25. 25:03 - Did you forget to put the 2nd bolt that holds the lower part of the elevator back in? ; )

  26. Engine or motor: well, if you go back to the roots of each one, they were named differently because they were two different things. A motor was a "machine", usually powered by electricity, that provides motion directly, while an engine was a machine, usually powered by some sort of fuel (combustible or not), that provides motion indirectly, i.e by the use of many moving parts. In time, the two terms became interchangeable but nowadays, with the comeback of electric vehicles, I think that distinction is starting to make sense again. 🙂 Btw, did you clip the harness holder at the back of the engine back into its place? Just checking. 😉

  27. 12:50 - That's gotta be the longest dipstick in existence! :D
    10
  28. 15:25 - REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! You could've just unclipped the handle from the positive pole side and leave it there, secured under the battery's hold-down. I'm sure the "next guy" would appreciate not having a hard time taking the battery out. : )

  29. @Dave Stennett - Yeah, Ray showed some ignorance on the matter when he stated that DEF only applied to domestic vehicles and that they could export those vehicles abroad with zero emissions' stuff in them with no problem at all. If anything, it's the usainians who were late to the diesel emissions control "game". If EU emissions' standards were applied in the US (addressing his complaining about the standards not being applied evenly), most vehicles that they have currently in circulation would be outlawed.

  30. If the crank bolt was long enough to thread in the shaft with the pulley that much out, don't you think Ray would've used it in the first place?

  31. I wonder if there is a valid reason why each trio of coils has a different one. One box might be a faulty QC, two boxes might not be a coincidence.

  32.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  - Thanks for putting our OCD minds to rest, Ray. 🙂

  33. An automatic Yaris? That's the definition of overkill.

  34. Fully adult pickup truck in the rest of the world.

  35. 10:29 - Damn, you almost gave your new office employee a heart attack! 😆 14:38 - They look like someone has hammered them hard before.

  36. Man, don't you have a bench vice or something to hold the shaft so that you can apply force more effectively and effortlessly? It was painful to watch you working on that shaft.
    7
  37.  @nettneo  - And there was no need to take them all the way out in the first place, that system is designed to take the elevator and the motor out of the door without removing the bolts. ; )

  38. I was looking for this comment. I've watched CSW, a certified Toyota technician, doing this job and according to him that 720º turn after installing the belt is one of the MOST IMPORTANT things to do before putting all the covers and the mounts back on again. And yet, everyone in the comments seems to think Ray has done an excellent job...

  39. 5:20 - I firmly believe there's a socket size between 19 and 21. 😉 So, the customer ordered a tyre rotation only on one side and you didn't tell him that was a bad idea?
    7
  40. I didn't even look at the shaft, all the time I was waiting for the flashlight to fall and get crushed by the wheels. 😈

  41. It was posted at 11AM here, I'm well awake, but it seems the Only Fans beat you to it. 😄

  42. Between the video title and the reality that engine lost 1,000cc of displacement. 😆 Can we also take a moment to appreciate the owner of the vehicle for labelling everything that had a service done, thus making the mechanic's life easier?

  43. I was expecting to see a comment from Eric pinned but it seems he hasn't watched the video. Yet. 😊

  44. That's the difference between someone who knows how it's done and someone who doesn't.

  45.  @jefferybye2169  - "Fix there"? Where?

  46. He's so accustomed to the shortage of parts for the american brands that he thinks foreign brands are even worse. I'm glad VW proved him wrong.

  47.  @deval3596  - Don't you mean "once you don't fit in them"? 😉

  48. I'd say no. He already had the appropriate ratchet to reach the nut, why did he decide to waste time cutting it with the wrong tool? The nut ended up coming off easily, anyway. I guess shorter videos "pay" less than longer ones...
    5
  49. Should be a part, not apart. 😉

  50. I'll be waiting for part 2, where you'll fix the injector connection and secure the coolant's expansion tank.
