  3. First order of business will be installing a reverse alarm. Not sure if Florida laws require it on that type of vehicle, but it's definitely a safety thing!

  6. This is the very literal definition of irony!

  7. Did they use Dot 4 blinker fluid when they filled it? Those Infinities can give you problems if you use Dot 3!

  10. Ray has 1 Thermal Meter; loses it constantly! Ray has half a dozen Thermometers, never loses one again!!!

  11. That's nothin! You should see the tool he has for articulated calipers; now that things cools!

  12.  @marksamuel5347  Had? What happened to it? Did it fall into same magical portal to Narnia that also eats pens, keys, and 10mm sockets?

  13. Pro tip: If you ever have a filter that won't come off with a filter wrench, you can always escalate with a linear impact driver and a long chisel driven through the filter to get extra leverage.

  14.  @lesbest2  I've worked for multiple oil change shops over the years and this is a very common practice in the industry. However, you are right about it being the absolute last thing you ever want to do when removing a filter, but occasionally you will need to do so because you have a customer waiting. You need to get it out the door asap and have no other option cuz you've tried everything else and doing it by the book isn't working.

  15. You can always use a power strip for an I/O switch after bypassing the power switch.

  16. You really should consider swapping those lifts if you ever have them moved that way you can pull straight into the big one, and have the small one tucked in the corner.

  17. How much you wanna bet that thing will be back after Ford refuses to warranty it, and wants ten grand more than what Ray's shop quoted them?

  18. Hey Ray, pro tip: You need to get yourself some 'Nu-Skin' ~ It's a brush on liquid bandage with antiseptics added to it. Kinda like super glue, but is actually designed for that purpose. WAY better than messing around with band-aids and stuff because it'll stay on when you are working.

  19. 120 degrees Ray, not 33.333333 whatevs; that would be the percent of a rotation turned to access the next bolt.

  20. Did Ray ever solve the mystery of the April Fool's Macbook???

  21. Don't apologize duder; watching you deal with unexpected twists and turns is part of what makes this channel so fun! Still miss the Doodily-doos though... Which is ironic in itself because it started out as way to deal with the annoyance of the phone ringer always going off in the shop before quickly becoming REALLY fun... IKR?

  22.  @bcubed72  That's what I said!

  23. The plugs may be pre-gapped but you still want to check them before putting them in. I can't count the number of times I've seen plugs that were off because the box got dropped somewhere along the line and it landed on the side electrodes, throwing the gap off.
    2
  24.  @alexandruraresdatcu  Actually, when I was working at Uh-Oh Zone I saw lots of both. The only problem with those protection sleeves is that if the box impacts hard enough, even the sleeve will collapse and the side electrode can still get damaged. Plus, you never know, there may have been a whoopsie on the production line and the gap being set might have been wrong for whatever reason to begin with. tl;dr = Just because it's new, doesn't mean it's good. It only takes a few minutes and can save hours of headache later on.

  25.  @davidmollard9832  Could be worse though; we could be in the U.K.. You KNOW what they use to haul those things around over there....

  26. We've all heard the horror stories about the infamous Ford 5.4 L 3 valve, and now we can see why.

  27. Parking brake, please and thank you, just like Ray said. E-brake is a misnomer at best and leads people to believe you should use it in an emergency, which, like Ray said, is a really bad idea because it's a parking brake and used for parking.
    2
  28.  @jsh6952  Actually, it's more like between 60/40 ~ 70/30, but you are correct in that the front brakes do indeed handle the majority of the braking because, ya'know, physics. The only time you should ever use the hand brake is when you're intentionally trying to break traction and hang the ass end out over the line while drifting. Doing something like that at highway speeds can, and does lock up the rear wheels, usually leading to a code brown...

  29. Didn't you know? An illuminated TPMS warning light is a standard feature on all late model vehicles regardless of manufacturer...

  30.  @dunebasher1971  I know. I using that as a perfect example of ground speed vs. airspeed. Blocked Pitot tubes have caused planes to crash before because the pilots thought their airspeed was much higher than it was.

  31.  @theundergroundlairofthesqu9261  Actually, I never had that problem. Then again, I was working on class 8 trucks (semis) at the time, and those things tend to be a lot easier to work on because everything is bigger and you got way more clearance. Matter of fact, you didn't even unbolt the lugs nuts and lugs studs, just remove the axle and retaining hardware before pulling the duallie. With those, you want it to get stuck a little because that's the best way to ensure the new race is fully bottomed out in the hub. Plus, again, super easy to remove once yer done, so not a big deal.

  32. They're called Stealerships for a reason...

  33.  @litz13  What year was this? Was this one that was made by AMC orrrrr...

  34. I'm still waiting for 'Everything is a hammer' on a t-shirt or something.

  35. Honestly, it's Youtube and someone will always find something to REEE about. And while you do take steps to satisfy most of us, there's always going one in every crowd. Just stick to the non-plan plan, and you'll be fine! OOOO, Non-plan plan bumper sticker or something!🀣🀣🀣 (when you guys can get around to it, I know yer slammed right meow.)

  40. Long lost socket??? I'll betcha a dollar it was a 10mm! Those f***in' things are always picking up legs and wandering off...

  41. Wow, Ray finally got a silicone wedding band to wear while working! About time, my OCD was always goin' REEEEE at that!

  42. If nothing else, you could always try Seafoam and pray for a miracle. If that don't work, then it's hammer time!

  43. Does that thing have an E.G.R. valve? That might be half the problem right there and wouldn't be the first time I've seen a small/big block overheat like this. EGR's are designed to low combustion cylinder temps and in high performance apps like this, they always forget about that.

  44. If I remember correctly, I believe it was around '92 (High School Freshmen Year) when they started using OBD II, and if it was a GM product, you could get DTC's with a PAPERCLIP!!! (No, seriously, just connect two of the pins on the ALDL with said paperclip and the CEL flashes codes atcha!)

  45. SQUIRREL!!! ...no, wait, my bad; just a leaf.

  46. IF YOU CAN DODGE A WRENCH, YOU CAN DODGE A BALL, MUAHAHAHAHA!!!! 🀣🀣🀣 (I think we all know what Ray's gonnah teach him next!)

  47. Dude, I'm laughing my butt off, that was HILARIOUS!!!

  48. How how how how???? (I am SO sorry, but I'm probably going to be ranting about this for awhile). Ray should know better, and we, as the audience always expect him to do better. In that vein, I would like to point out everyone has blind spots, buuuuuuuut.....how could Ray have SUCH a MASSIVE blind spot in his automotive knowledge???? How....how....how how how, HOW????

  49. ​ @RainmanRaysRepairs  In a nutshell = Forced induction. The way my auto instructors explained it to me back in the day was quite simple: When you run electricity through a circuit, it generates a magnetic field, and when you have that sudden disconnect, the field collapses and induces blah blah blah igntion coil, you already know that. Point is, your alternator, when charging, is essentially a GI-HUGIC ignition coil just WAITING for a chance to fire, and if you DC the battery while it's charging, what do you think is going to happen to that MASSIVE induced E.M.P. that now has no where to go? It's got to ground out SOMEWHERE and now suddenly the path of 'least resistance' is right through vital electronic components like the diode trio in rectifier bridge. Apologies for so much flak in the comments section, but most of us only complain because we truly care! (BTW, the office pool on the 'door of death' is up to a year! 🀣🀣🀣)

  50.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  TBH: You're probably going to need a S.A.B.R.E. or other likewise diagnostic machine capable of scanning for a bad diode pattern just to make sure you didn't blow anything up...
