  3.  @aaronbritt2025  That's why you must be gentle; with enough experience, it's quick and easy to do. Always grab it as close to the base at the end of the hose as possible and the slowly work your way back. You can also twist it by hand to get it to come off as well.

  4.  @aaronbritt2025  LMAO!!! Okay, you got me on that one; I've only been doing this for 25 years, so you got at least a half decade on me and I will DEFINITELY concede your point regarding the fragile nature of aging plastic. That being said, I would like to note that in my experience, some techniques just work better for some people & is their preferred method because it works best for them. We all have the same skill set in our wheel house (more or less), but individual application of said skills can vary widely & oft makes all the difference in the world. That being said, I'm sure there is definitely ONE thing we can both agree on. * tl;dr = Doing things your 'own' way means reading the manual and knowing how to do it 'by the book' first! *

  5.  @aaronbritt2025  Also, there IS a downside to using a hook! You accidentally slip (because ethylene glycol is slippery AF), you rip, tear, or even worse, PIERCE the hose WITH the hook, and now have to replace it out of your own pocket.

  6. Oh for F**k's sake; some people! Just ignore the Karen, Ray, (that's what managers are for, lol)

  7. A friend of mine had an El Camero JUST like the one in the vid back when I was in tech school; same year too!

  9. Customer states "Check engine light came on while towing a trailer." Mechanic states "Customer is a major weirdo!"

  10. @Rainman Ray's Repairs Hey Ray, you REALLY need to get yourself a supercap jump box. No battery to charge so it's always ready because it uses super capacitors and the energy still left in the battery to jump it!

  11. You should also consider getting some liquid electrical tape because sometimes you don't have the clearance for heat shrink tubing.

  12. The nut??? Are you talking about the nut on the truck, or the one working on it?

  13. Hey Ray, does your shop's air supply have an auto oiler or do you guys have to oil your pneumatic tools yourselves?

  14. Well at least it was a short walk back to the shop!

  15. Wellllll, if everything is 11mm, at least you don't have to worry about losing the sockets!

  16. Left footed braking is more common then you might think, and tends to be a result of a nervous driver. I don't have to tell you what that does to hydraulic brakes and falls into the 'customer edification' category. The most dead giveaway is to look for excess wear in the pad on the left side of the pedal.

  17. Step one: Get a $5 horse Step two: Put a $50 saddle on it Step three: Build a $500 horse under the $50 dollar saddle.

  18. Not shown but was mentioned; leaving the control arm mounting bolts loose until full weight of car is back on the ground before tightening them back up.

  19. Nissan phonetically sounds exactly like Ni-San, short for Oni-San, or 'Brother' in Japanese. Used in this context it's usually indicative of and older brother, but not exclusively. tl;dr = Yer kind of like an older brother in so many ways, so of course Nissans are naturally attracted to you.

  20. "Gottah lube the nuts to get the shaft to come out of the hole..." Now just imagine saying that in front of 2 dozen 16 year olds back in tech school! 🤣🤣🤣 God only knows how we managed to learn anything back then...

  21. 2 kids in the back seat and there's silence. Most parents would call that a God send.

  22. Doesn't Ray still have to diagnose the CEL? I'm curious as to what's going on with the PCM...

  23. I''ll betcha a dollar most people watching this knew it was too small just by looking at it... Don't worry, lots of tow truck drivers his age have that problem....

  26. Actually Ray, sorry to say yer wrong on that one and it's the other way around. Fun Fact: 37 states are currently legal for medical cannabis, and 19 for rec use.

  27. Remember back when he lost PRNDL? Considering the fact he tore apart the interior of his truck like a Tasmanian Devil on crack looking for the short, this does not surprise me....

  28. The phone ringing before he even poppening ze hood is never a good sign.

  29.  @timjohnun4297  Precisely! Back in WWII, they needed a medical paste to hold wounded soldiers together long enough to make it to a M*A*S*H unit. That's actually what Nu-skin is! It's just a ramped up, medical grade version of super glue with an antiseptic added to it.

  30. snicker-giggle He said Butt!!! (What? It brings out my inner 10 year old...)

  31. Fun Fact: Twisting the brake hose will actually not cause it to blow up, but rather, the additional pressure inside the hose will actually cause the caliper to compress, locking up the brake(s) without any pressure on the pedal, preventing it from going anywhere. (Learned that one the hard way back in tech school)

  32. Pro tip: The wiring harnesses for the center console should have gone through the little metal rectangle on the bottom of the dash instead of around it. Then again, it's a Ford so I seriously doubt anyone or anything is going to notice, but if you try something like that on a Merc, it'll REEEE all the way back to the dealer....

  33. The only thing he's doing wrong electrical wise is not using a seam ripper for the loom.

  35. I love class 8-trucks because when doing this job on one of those, you can get the races out with a hammer and a punch.

  38. Okay, seriously, WTF Florida???

  39. Minor note: A lot of shops don't have an alignment rack cuz they don't do enough of them annually to justify the expense. tl;dr = Not even the car wizard has a rack.

  40. "Let's see what we have in here...a shiny new AC machine!" ....what, no stripper?

  41. Definitely advise the customer to use their parking brake on a regular basis to keep this from happening again.

  43. Electrics and hybrids are hilarious; no transmission but it's still got a PRNDL...

  46. Could be worse; it could be a Ford. When it comes to pulling a Plenum, I'd rather do it on a Silverado than a similar model year F-150 any day!

  47. This is why I use neodymium magnets out of old hard drives on flash lights and stuff.

  48.  @Butchcub75  I KNOW, that's what makes it so funny! God only knows that Celica will outlive him!!! 🤣🤣🤣

  49. I was gonna say either that or a 4.3L, but not big enough to be a V-8. Also, I was looking at the valve cover for the length of the motor.

  50.  @frandanco6289  Actually, it is. It's made from a high density thermal resistant polyethylene foam that doesn't have too much air in it, IE: the individual air pockets are so small, it's still flexible, but a lot more solid than what you would typically think of as foam. tl;dr = Cloth would be useless as a heat shield.
