  1. I'd be drilling three holes through that cross member, big enough to pass the long torques tool through. You would think, German engineering would have thought about that.

  2. You sure this truck isn't stolen? The guy knows where the key is hidden but he doesn't tell you about the rigged starter button? Maybe he didn't know about the rigged starter button.

  3. WOW! Lauren right off the bat! It's always nice to see Lauren. 😊

  4. Like painting the walls in your kitchen. Then you repaint the cabinets. Then you replace the flooring. Then you replace the countertops. Then you replace the appliances. Then ............................................. on and on and on. :face-orange-frowning: Always nice to see Lauren.

  5. Oh, they're divorced. This is the alimony. :face-orange-frowning:

  6. Such a pleasure to see what an engine bay should look like. Not too many remember them. I used to sit on the fender with my feet dangling inside to work on the engine. Those were the days. 😩😊

  7. Always nice to see Lauren. The truck? Strip what you can sell and junk the rest.
    20
  8. Always nice to see Lauren. It's good to see you've done your home work on the injectors. Makes a world of difference. 👍 Before you sign off, don't forget what you dropped.

  9. Banks seems like a quality company. Hats off to them.
    18
  10. Always nice to see Lauren.

  11. Starting to look like a professional shop. Good work, Lauren. 😉
    16
  12. Always nice to see Lauren. You have to hire a little person for this kind of work. 😁 Good video Ray. Lot's of good and useful information. I was going to compliment you on NOT saying "soooooooo" again, but you failed that one. You owe that woman an apology, It is apparently just a bad annoying habbit.

  13. That flu is all up and down the east coast. Must be the drones. I've been miserable for over a week and heading for a chest x-ray in an hour. Glad you're better. Good news. No pneumonia. Still feel like crap.
    16
  14. Always nice to see Lauren.

  15. Soldering aluminum wires: Soldering to aluminum is very difficult and quite different than soldering to copper or solder coated surfaces. The issue with aluminum is the oxide on the aluminum itself and it needs to be removed so the solder can make a electro-mechanical bond to the shield itself. In your case, a mechanical bond would be best used. Always nice to see Wife Unit. Treat her well and hire a shop helper or another mechanic. You might try your local trade schools.
    15
  16. Always nice to see Lauren. Fix the truck and donate it. Good luck to Justine. I've been down for two weeks with the flu. Regiment of steroids and antibiotics. now into my third week and still fighting it. Now others in the family are coming down with it. Not easy to break. Nasty!
    15
  17. Is that dealer out of his F'n mind? Air filter $53? Cabin filter $70? What an insult! Not to mention the rest of that BS. My mechanic wants $1500 to replace my timing cover gasket. All labor. A lot of stuff to pull off to get to it. I'll live with it. Ray. It always scares me, when you go to pull plugs and there's a bunch of crap laying around the hole. How many PCV valves on that car? That's two hoses you removed from the air intake and referred to as PVC hoses?
    14
  18. That's because Ray no longer has some 'A' hole boss breathing down his neck.
    14
  19. What's going on with the new space in the garage and what are your plans for it? 🤔
    13
  20. Always nice to see Lauren. The Honda looks like a New England car.
    13
  21. Always nice to see Lauren. TANGENT MAN!!!!!!!!! HE'S EVERY WHERE, HE'S EVERY WHERE! 😮
    12
  22. Ray should have called the customer and gotten his permission to tear it down also.
    12
  23. Way to go Ray! Most mechanics wouldn't bother with or even notice that height problem. You're more than just a pretty face. 😆 Always nice to see Lauren.
    12
  24. Used to have a starter button down there too. Hows that for age.
    12
  25. My mechanic will clean up the lights on any car that comes into his garage for work. No cost. You remind me of my son-in-law. Won't read the directions to save his life. 😊 Always nice to see Lauren.
    11
  26. Really enjoy your diagnostic procedures. The circumference is a line that goes around or encloses a circle. 2. : the outer boundary of a figure or area. 3. : the distance around something. Question: Why not put the plugs in before reinstalling the valve covers?
    11
  27. A little bit of wax and it will be as good as new. 😁 I wonder how many people watching this, asked themselves, what was that he pulled out of the top of that thing the wires went into? 🤔😊 One coil? WoW! 😀 Original cost $3.50. Today 8 coils $65 each. 😵‍💫 That old truck runs good. I'd like to see a 2023 truck, 30 years from now, run at all. Why don't you wash all that crud off before installing anything new?
    10
  28. Still looks dangerous. Always nice to see Lauren.
    10
  29. You have to start a new channel called "I fix Jeeps". Nothing better for a Jeep than Dorman parts. Good for GM too. Always nice to see Lauren.
    10
  30. I've put three pumps in and each time used two screw drivers to remove the ring. Hasn't blown up yet. I'm lucky. I have a Mazda Tribute with a nice little door under the back seat that gives me access to the pump. Why other manufacturers can't do this is beyond me. 👍
    10
  31. Can't wait to see Troy try that on his own. 😁 Always nice to see Lauren no matter how brief.
    10
  32. Always nice to see Lauren. We don't get to see her enough. The car looks like something we would take to the Jersey Pines and wreck. That thing is almost as good as a 3 cylinder Suzuki. The frame looks like something you would make shelving out of. 18:50 DID YOU SEE THAT (?) CRAWLING UNDER THE CAR (BRIEFLY AT THE TOP LEFT) JUST BEFORE YOU PUT YOUR HAND UP THERE?
    9
  33. Nice part about watching Ray is that we know not to ever buy a Jeep, Chevy/GMC or a Toyota.
    9
  34. I'm in a crappy mood. I better not reply. 🤬
    8
  35. You don't remember? The first thing to do is check the vehicle folder, be it paper or computer, to see what was done previously to the car. Always nice to see the Wife Unit.
    8
  36. Nice Pontiac. Beautiful shape. Many years ago, my mechanic rebuilt my compressor instead of replacing it. Replaced all the 'O' rings. Haven't had a bit of problems since.
    8
  37. I didn't know that about the clips. Learn something new every day. You're never too old to learn. Thanks Ray. Always nice to see Lauren. If anything is a DIY job, this is.
    8
  38. Almost?
    8
  39. Always nice to see Lauren. Who designed that stupid pulley? Those engineers must laugh at GM when they accept their designs. The dealer would do just what you did and charge the full 4 hours. I'll never own another GM product.
    7
  40. Always nice to see Lauren. Job looks like $$$$.
    7
  41. 7:50 Do you ever put your tools away? 17:44 Are you saying the shop is haunted? 🤔😧👹 24:00 They do sell other funnels. So? Will we ever get "The Story of Troy"?
    7
  42. If he doesn't close the doors, time and a half kicks in. 😊
    7
  43.  @MrMustangMan He deserves it.
    7
  44. Probably the wrench you dropped. 😄 Guess: Old used gear with a new paint job? I thought so. I would think about a new supplier.
    7
  45. Always nice to see Lauren.
    6
  46. Always nice to see Lauren. Missed her on the last video. And a Genesis is just a Hyundai, A Cadillac is just a GM. Lincoln is just a Ford. Must I go on? 😁 Does this guy ever maintain the car? The car has definitely been North. The used is better than what he had. The customer should be made aware of the used part and the reason for using it. Thanks for not putting us through the fluid changes. Good video.
    6
  47. I remember when we didn't have alternators. Generator $35 and changed in 15 minutes.
    6
  48. Always nice to see Lauren.
    6
  49. I'm not a mechanic and I knew that. 😁
    6
  50. Always nice to see you.
    6
  51. Always nice to see Lauren. Dorman may "have the things no one else does", but the quality of those "things' is questionable.
    6
  52. Truck just looks dirty. I don't think water ever entered that cab. Always nice to see Lauren. Break light problem and you're taking it out on the road?
    6
  53. Simpler but not necessarily better.
    6
  54. SS is beautiful.
    5
  55. Always nice to see Lauren. Time to go for that city contract? 17:50 Dumb question: When you drain oil, via gravity, from a drain hole, how can you refill, to the proper amount, back through the said drain hole?
    5
  56. Always nice to see Lauren. Congrats of the certificate. Well done.
    5
  57. Fancy cinematography. Oooooooo! 😃 Audio is good. For $80K+, you would think, you wouldn't get any leaks.
    5
  58. Takes me back to my '64 VW, used, I had in Greece when I was in the Air Force. Great car. When I bought it, I didn't know anything about it, so when I got a flat, I couldn't figure out where the jack went in. So I had my wife, Mother-in-law and my wifes Aunt lift the front end while I pulled the wheel. Life without a computer. How satisfying.
    5
  59. I didn't know this. My car has over 255 K miles and is over 22 yo. I don't remember ever changing the break fluid.
    5
  60. Always nice to see Lauren. 98 degrees here in New Jersey too. Feels like 102. It's summer. You apparently paid attention in A/C school. Once again, due to great engineering, a 15 min compressor change, turns into an hour and a half job. 🤨
    5
  61. Always nice to see Lauren.
    5
  62. Alays nice to see Lauren. No Interstates near you? Does this problem apply to all diesel engines, i.e. diesel cars?
    5
  63. Always nice to see Lauren. It's not as much of what we want, it's about how we get there.
    5
  64. Great filter cleaning video. 😉
    4
  65. Always nice to see Lauren.
    4
  66. Better you than me. GM engineering, never ceases to amaze. What do they care? They don't have to work on them and the dealers can charge what they want. 🤬🤬🤬🤬
    4
  67. You can rinse now.
    4
  68. Time to get your name on the doors of that tow truck. Question: Do you carry any tools on the tow truck in case of problems with the tow truck? 2000 Ford? Replace the trans. He got good mileage from it. My 2001 Mazda Tribute (Ford), blew the trans about 7 years ago. Replaced it, and haven't had any problems.
    4
  69. Always nice to see Lauren. You should watch the sarcasm 31:49 in case there's a law suit. Can be used against you. How can you say there are "no more leaks at the manifold bolts" when you're running straight pipes?
    4
  70. Always good to see Lauren.
    4
  71. NEVER take the dealers recommendations without a second opinion. Just stick a magnet into the fluid and see what sticks. Always nice to see Lauren.
    4
  72. You can't put a stethoscope on that to hear if your problem is gone? Just because all the pipes fit together, doesn't mean the exhaust will fit the older car. There's a lot of other factors involved. We have a name for what you're doing, up north. 😆 I'd like to hear the next mechanics response when he looks under there.
    4
  73. I was just told I have a leak at the timing chain cover. $2000 repair. With 261,000+ miles, I'll just put a heavier oil in it. Where does the small "O" ring go on the filter unit?

  74.  @michaelpressman7203  Change your sign on to Punctuation Man. 😃

  75. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

  76. The mice have colds and/or the exercise wheel needs lubricating. Getting nauseous with the new head mount camera.😮‍💨 Fun edit with the air bag connector. 😆

  77. Always nice to see Lauren.

  78. Come on guys. High School is over.

  79.  @CedroCron  WHAT?

  80. Spread the word.

  81. There's nough clowns in Washington.

  82. Always nice to see Lauren. Good diag job Ray.
    3
  83. Always nice to see Lauren. That's why you don't put a GM product into a Ford.
    3
  84. Always nice to see Lauren.

  85.  @generessler6282  I used to listen to Chickenman every morning, on my one hour + drive to work in Princeton NJ, in the 1970s.

  86. 😆😆😆😆

  87. Always nice to see Lauren.

  88. You do have a business to run. No apology necessary. Always nice to see Lauren.
    3
  89. 1:55 You didn't hear all the laughter coming from the warranty company? 🤣🤣🤣
    3
  90. You would think, that one of these so called engineers, would come up with a better way to access the engine.
    3
  91. Always nice to see Lauren.
    3
  92. Good work ethic! We need more mechanics like you. 👍
    3
  93. Did your previous employer make you work on New Years Day? Always nice to see Lauren, even on a holiday. Those Honda U joints goes to show, Honda doesn't really care about their customers. $1200? October was named after Octavius, emperor of Rome. Sometimes your videos are painful to watch. 😗😁
    3
  94. Wife unit. 👍 That much trouble to remove that intake? Might have been easier and faster than what you're going through. I really like the instructions for the exhaust system. 26:19 I could do that! 😃
    3
  95. "60 bucks and it's not worth it"? Do they want to open their door or not?
    3
  96. I think a proper introduction to Dave should be forth coming.
    3
  97. Problem with zip ties is they tend to get brittle from the heat of the engine and also with time. a good pot hole and they break.
    3
  98. Good thing there was a mechanic around.. 😃
    3
  99. Flex pipe will eventually break. Look to the exhaust system, under the car, for example. Maybe we need Lauren to narrate these videos? 😊 Time to build that kennel at home. 🐕🐕
    3
  100. Business slow?
    3
  101. Always nice to see Lauren.
    3
  102. Boooooooooooo 😃
    3
  103. Always nice to see Lauren. Looking good. Lucky man, Ray. "Little slivers". You also ripped the filter apart. Think they might have come from that? "I've got wood.". How often have you announced that, Ray? 😁
    3
  104. Happy holiday to you, Lauren and family. And to Dave too.
    3
  105. Always nice to see Lauren. So you have a truck. The truck has a trailer hitch on the back. So you raise the front end? What happens when you're running a full trailer and you have stuff in the truck bed? 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
    3
  106. There was a time we didn't have gloves. Kept our hands soft and smooth. 😄 Now people know that the only thing holding their wheel on is a piece of wire. 😮
    3
  107. Remember when all plug gaps were .35?
    3
  108. 21:51 Another well engineered bracket "Lets put the bolts in from the back so it will be harder to put in". 🤔🤨🙄 If there's a bad 'O' ring on one end, good chance a bad 'O' ring on the other end. 🤨
    3
  109. Always nice to see Lauren. (doesn't need make up) The winch. You get what you pay for.
    3
  110. You're not worried about sparks with that "dull chisel"? You know there is a tool for that? Love the new work space. You sure you want to remove those sinks? Could come in handy. Wife unit. 👍 We haven't seen you wash windows yet. 😃 Your "oil change empire". You could call it Jiffy Lube! 🤔😃
    3
  111. 0:35 "Normuler"? Even I know that's not a word. :face-orange-raised-eyebrow:
    3
  112. Always nice to see Lauren. Her smile lights up a room. Ray. Didn't you tell us, that woman at your last place of employment, would drive you nuts saying "soooooooooo"? (?) 🤨 It is annoying. You might want to get your personal truck out of there and that would free up a lift. 🤔 Without that peel off sticker on the thermostat gasket, you wouldn't be able to turn the whole unit upside down to install it one handed. 🤨
    2
  113. Unbelievable, what you have to do, just to get to the alternator. What crappy engineering. But then again, how else can the dealer charge you $1258 to $1504 for the job. :face-orange-frowning: I used to shake my head, when I was a kid, when I was told that you had to jack the engine up on a Jaguar just to change the plugs. This is much worse.
    2
  114. Always open the box before leaving the store. Saved my butt a couple of times.
    2
  115. Way to stick to it Ray. Good diag.
    2
  116. Always nice to see Lauren. For all the belts I've replaced on cars all my life, I'm actually sitting here watching Ray put belts of a car. What is wrong with me? :face-fuchsia-wide-eyes: 😄😄
    2
  117. All this because it made a noise on a cold start. 🤔🤨 Video editing helps so much to cut out all the cussing. 😄
    2
  118. 13:50 "soooo"
    2
  119. Was a nice truck, at one time. If you repair a problem, as it first appears, you won't get hit with a humongous bill when you need to fix them all. You might even get to keep the vehicle a bit longer. 🤨 Apparently not maintained well, if at all. Time for the yard. I'm surprised you didn't check the rear breaks. Always nice to see Lauren. And as if you didn't know, definitely a keeper.
    2
  120. Was a time, I could pick that beam up without the need for a fork lift. The two of you could lift that. An 8ft 8X can easily be carried by two people into the shop. Younger generation is spoiled. 🙄 🤪 Nice safety shoes. 🤔😒 Like watching the three stooges minus one. Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo nyuck nyuck nyuck 😃 Nice work. Tanks for the laughs.
    2
  121. Leave Dave alone. He knows what he's doing. He doesn't need you checking on him. Remember how you felt when your bosses used to check up on you?
    2
  122. What about that hanging wire connector on the ignition? You're not going to fix that? How can you say you're "done with that job"? I hope you make Troy watch this video, so he will know how to correct the problem. Great background music. Makes thing more exciting. 😲😄 Eric O always finishes up his own jobs. 😁
    2
  123. Always nice to see Lauren. For all the Jeeps that you get in for repairs, why in hell are you building a jeep? Or is it all the free parts?😉 Great vid Ray. Nice break.
    2
  124. Always nice to see Wife Unit. Good to see Scott is more that a shop helper. Still waiting on his story. 🤔
    2
  125. Amsoil Engine Oil too expensive for me. I managed to make it to 267k+ on Castrol.
    2
  126. No wonder it cost so much to repair a car. In the last video I couldn't figure out what the hell you were doing. That is unbelievable. $1000 plus labor just because "the engine makes a funny sound on cold start, but it goes away." At this point, you might as well rebuild the engine. 😵‍💫
    2
  127. I've always wondered. Do the police ever pull you over when testing a car? I.E. Quick starts. Erratic breaking? etc. If they do, how do you get out of a ticket? BTW: That's a beautiful car, even though it's a GM product. Always nice to see Lauren. (BTW: Your fault not Laurens. Be nice to her. 🤨😁) I must compliment you Ray. You really know what you're doing. Anybody can take things apart, it's what happens next and the putting it back together where the hard part comes in. Nice job.
    2
  128. Always nice to see Lauren.
    2
  129. Always nice to see Lauren. Looks like past the time for some roof work.
    2
  130. Why wouldn't you blow out that filter before reinstalling it?
    2
  131. Wife unit. 👍 She's a keeper. Weren't you the guy, in one of your videos, that said "never use the dirty oil to lubricate the new filter"? I thought that was a dumb statement at the time. We see one break job, we've seen most of them.
    2
  132. After all this maneuvering of the steering shaft, I'm wondering about the steering wheel alignment?
    2
  133. Thanks for the video split. NEVER lend out tools!
    2
  134. Always nice to see Lauren. That Pontiac is as close to a Ferrari as my Mazda SUV is to a Peterbuilt.
    2
  135. Apparently Ray doesn't read these comments.
    2
  136. $5 more on parts and $100 more on labor. 🤔🤨 And to show my age, when did an "A" Frame become a control arm?
    2
  137. Always nice to see Lauren. What a PITA job! The reason I'm about to put out $750 today, to pay my mechanic, to fix my Mazda.
    2
  138. I would have a bunch of parts left over. 😄 Could they pack more crap in one engine bay?
    2
  139. Nice dash. Good job, Ray.
    2
  140. So when is the greace fitting coming in?
    2
  141. Always nice to see Lauren, no matter how briefly. Looked like a lockup going forward at about 32:53
    2
  142. Blatant advertising. 🤨😊 But it's always nice to see Lauren, so I'll give you a pass. 😁
    2
  143. I was wondering when you would take the key out. I've been waiting for that test drive. I didn't see that looseness you said you had. Back to the drawing board. 😄 You might want to pull the steering wheel and check in there.
    2
  144. I asked my mechanic and he told me he changes the break fluid every time he does a break job.
    2
  145. Make sure you document EVERYTHING!
    2
  146. As you didn't mark the positioning of the cam angle, will the car be drivable when put back together or is approximate positioning adequate, to drive for alignment? Always nice to see Wife Unit. I still say you need a shop apprentce.
    2
  147. Don't you worry about cross threading by putting the plugs in that way?
    2
  148. 12:20 "instructional literature. We don't need that". That's what the last guy said. 🤔😊
    2
  149. iDash. Not cheap. BTW: Who's your manicurist? 😃
    2
  150. The duel axle will take a lot of the weight. And then came TANGENT MAN!!!!
    2
  151. Erick O and Ray are the only mechanics I watch on the net. BTW Mrs O and Wife unit are the best.
    2
  152. Always nice to see Lauren.
    2
  153. You might put some new tires on the front end.
    2
  154. At least once or twice a year, spray some disinfectant into the intake vents, with the fan going. Eliminates any odor and mold growth. A lot cheaper than what you are doing.
    2
  155. Always nice to see Lauren. She brought much more than her foot. 😉😁 Isn't break fluid as corrosive as it always was? They put expensive tires on that they can't afford to replace. Makes you wonder. 🤔🤨
    2
  156. Nice truck. Of course it's Wife Unit approved. 😁 Some times, when you put enough "a problem"s together, you get "the problem". Bash me with a hammer, will you. My lawyer will be in touch! 😃
    2
  157. You put the keys in and forgot to put the window down. :hand-orange-covering-eyes: You beat up you're toys, that's what you get. He apparently never listened to his Mother. :face-pink-tears:
    2
  158. Always nice to see Lauren.
    2
  159. Never thought I'd get dizzy watching a video. My washer pump wasn't spraying so I bought a new one, pulled out the inner fender to get access to the pump, and found out the only problem I had was the hose fell off. Anyone need a new washer pump? 😒😁
    2
  160. I don't care what he paid for it, it's still a Chevy and crap. Tell me. How do you break a shift lever on an automatic transmission? High priced crap. You are a true pro to tackle that mess. Good job.
    2
  161. Instead of buying the puller, use a screwdriver. 😁 All through this procedure, I've been saying 'why doesn't he tie that shaft up, out of the way?'. Why didn't he?
    2
  162. I agree.
    2
  163. Meanwhile all the exhaust is dumping into the garage.
    2
  164. Why don't they put a drain plug on the trans pan? Why don't you just look up the trans capacity instead of that measuring? 🤔
    2
  165.  @jsh6952  I didn't know that. Thanks.
    2
  166. Always nice to see Lauren. How come Troy's side is so much cleaner that your side? 🤔🤨
    2
  167. Always nice to see Lauren. Time to open Weatherman Ray's Repairs? 🤔 100 Degrees in New Jersey. Heat index 110. Can't believe I spent a half an hour watching you change plugs. And I even gave you a thumbs up. I have to get a life. 😁
    2
  168. .New camera really sucks.
    2
  169. 1998 Lincoln w/137K? WOW. So, when is this new lift going in? They're making your life hard. "Never believe everything the customer tells you.". I believe an old wise mechanic once said that. 😁 There's also another old saying about assuming.
    2
  170. Always nice to see the Wife Unit. You don't have any jack stands? Those air scoops don't fill up with mud and road scum?
    2
  171. Always nice to see Lauren.

  172. Always nice to see Lauren. Be interesting to know the labor charges for such a simple job. 🤨 Auto engineering. Can't beat it. 40:00 Time to bring the torch out? Thank God for fast forward. Wouldn't you put it in from the side it came out?
    2
  173. Any conversation with their lawyers? With all the backpedaling, I would say yes. Glad it didn't go to far and you both kissed and made up.

  174. Not too long ago, my Tribute's temp would rise and fall, but upon checking, there was coolant in the reservoir. I saw no leaks. Couldn't figure out what was wrong. Turned out, the reservoir return was blocked up and the engine was running bone dry. Luckily, I caught it just in time before major problems occurred. Had the system flushed and tested along with a new water pump and a new thermostat. Been running fine since. Always nice to see Lauren.

  175.  @TXCherokee  2001 Mazda Tribute, bought new..
    2
  176. Easy fix, as long as you don't burn a hole in it. Ray you're so predictable. 😃 Worse weld I've ever seen. 🤨😁
    2
  177. You don't get a lot of Honda's because it's not a Chevy or a Jeep. 🤨
    2
  178. Good catch, Ray.
    2
  179. And he really only wanted to change the interior light bulb. I think we've all been there, haven't we? 😀
    2
  180. You make 'entertainment' videos? 😃 Maybe give Eric O a call at South Main in New York. I could never really understand magnets in an all metal engine. Just guessing: a cam problem or cam sensor problem.
    2
  181. Always nice to see Lauren.
    2
  182. Who engineered this piece of junk? "We'll just cover this bracket with this other bracket and then install this reservoir over these brackets". 😡🤬 First "off frame" repair?
    2
  183. Always nice to see Lauren. I enjoyed this video. 😁
    2
  184. Well packed. Lots of freebees.
    2
  185. I keep waiting for that bag to go off. 😮😵‍💫 You didn't eliminate the sensors? 🤔
    2
  186. You're not cheap, you're frugal, like the rest of us. 😁 Great vid Ray.
    2
  187. According to Dr. Google: "A complete fuel system cleaning is not recommended as a preventative service; it is only necessary when you are experiencing problems. "
    2
  188. Back in Model "T" days, to do what you are doing, they would drain the oil and fill the crank case with kerosene. They would run that for a while, drain it and add new oil. Worked every time. Probably would work today. Kerosene, or paraffin, is a combustible hydrocarbon liquid which is derived from petroleum.
    2
  189. Why anybody would buy a Jeep is beyond me. Proven piece of junk.
    1
  190. Sorry to hear that , Ray. I'm sure you'll be OK. They always don't like the truth. I was always told that I had a bad attitude, because I would point out the problems. They didn't want to here that because they didn't want to deal with them. One thing I have learned, is that you don't announce you are going to leave your job on YouTube, so your employer hears about it long before you're planning on leaving. Tends to get you fired before you really want it.
    1
  191. What's wrong with a V6? I had V8 all my life and the best engine I've had is the V6 I have now. 21 years old Mazda Tribute with 254,000 miles and still running strong.
    1
  192. You can always go back to the dealership? 🤨😊
    1
  193. What's with the Cobra in the right bay? 0:42 I had the same problem, fixed by one can of oil seal. Much cheaper that the $1500 repair price.
    1
  194. Hope you didn't pay for that Chevrolet sign. If anything, the should give you one. Seems all you fix are Chevrolet's and Jeeps. Always nice to see Lauren. BTW: The new camera still sucks.
    1
  195. It's nice when you post early, because after I watch you, Eric O posts his video. Steady entertainment. 😁 26:50 That's their problem. Keep up what you're doing Ray. Just show Lauren more. 😄 Because it's always nice to see Lauren. Did you clean off the weld spatter, before putting on the gasket? Now that I see Lauren, I'm entertained. 😁
    1
  196. "Here, hold this". 😆😆😆😆😆
    1
  197. When you blow out the exhaust ports to "remove any debris", and the exhaust valves are open, aren't blowing said debris into the cylinder? 🤔
    1
  198. Every new video show new strangers lurking around your shop. Are you renting out bays? Owner has some really bad news coming his way. Good job Ray.
    1
  199. Always nice to see Lauren. aka Wife Unit. 😍😁 Any thoughts about installing shop AC? Ray! You look like you know what you're doing. 😁
    1
  200. What does that do for alternator life? We all saw the cut in the radiator hose. Not going to mention that to the owner or repair it?
    1
  201. No junk yards in Florida? Ah! Fond memories of employment past. 😂
    1
  202. Just checked the prices out for used tool boxes. Not cheap. 😟
    1
  203. Time to hire a mechanic? Good move on the expansion. I'd say knock the the whole thing down and put in two lifts and a new wide front door.
    1
  204. Game show? Beat The Clock presented by: Bud Collyer; Jack Narz; Gene Wood; Monty Hall; Gary Kroeger; and Paul Costabile. First episode date: March 23, 1950
    1
  205. High dollar truck. All kinds of "goodies" that can go wrong and cost a bunch to fix. GM engineering at it's finest, again. Banks: You pay for all those "little details". Ray, you should be on our side, watching your face, putting that pan on. LMAO! 🤣🤣🤣 "Sooooooooooo"????? :face-orange-raised-eyebrow: Always nice to see Lauren.
    1
  206. Nice job, Ray. Always nice to see Wife Unit.
    1
  207. Didn't you forget the driver side tie bar?
    1
  208. Good job.
    1
  209. Is there no junk yards in Florida? Always nice to see the Wife Unit. 👍
    1
  210. Maybe it's time to buy your own machine? 🤔🤨
    1
  211. Meanwhile, everyone at the beginning of this video is yelling NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! 24:32 The beginning of a James Bond movie. A rubber plug for the fill hole? Really?
    1
  212. I sent you a link for some floor A/C, but you didn't use it. 🤔🤨🙄 The heat is doing a job on your camera. My mechanic always gives me a heads up, long before an emergency arises.
    1
  213. If you have to explain the differance between the plastic and the metal, that guy shouldn't be a mechanic. 🤨
    1
  214. I always did like Dodge trucks after driving them in the Air Force. Especially the 4WD Power Wagon. Was a brake upgrade available and if so why didn't the owner upgrade the breaks when he bought the truck?
    1
  215. Why would they put a panel there if you can't to the nuts? Come on Ray, it's a Honda. 😁 Just wondering: Why if you just replace the struts, do you need a wheel alignment?
    1
  216. I don't think, I would need headers that bad. Once something is torn down, you're just asking for future problems. I think, the guy has more money than brains.
    1
  217. Am I the only one old enough to remember that we had to set the glue on fire in order to seal the patch?
    1
  218. Damn. I thought my car was a PITA with the rear bank of plugs. This is ridiculous.
    1
  219. Yeah! Pull the dash. I don't have to do it. 😃
    1
  220. Everybody see what you're in for when you buy a new or used Chevy truck?
    1
  221. You are right about the Standard Screwdriver. Phillips was first produced in the early 30's.
    1
  222. Over engineered expensive piece of junk.
    1
  223. No gasket on the throttle body?
    1
  224. There goes the guys guarantee. 🤨
    1
  225. Why doesn't he take it back to the people that installed the "electrical devices"?
    1
  226. What if it's the switch and not the actuator? Do you eat it? Would it have killed them to put a panel door there to access the actuator?
    1
  227. For some reason, I am watching a South Main Auto video at a Rainman Ray's Repairs YouTube. Any one have any idea why this is happening? I just did a reload and am now watching Rainman Ray. WTF??????
    1
  228. Regular gas in a Hemi?
    1
  229. Timing belt went on my Honda about18 years ago. Had to scratch that car. Expensive repair if possible. If anything a new/rebuilt engine is needed. How many times have we heard, "I love my job so much, I do it twice"? 🤔🤨😁 The smoke can't get past the rings?
    1
  230. Ray. Listen up. Ignore the idiots. You have that beautiful woman standing there. What do you care about the nay-sayers? BTW: Always nice to see Lauren. Disk breaks. One of the best things ever invented. Drum Breaks. One of the biggest PITA to fix.
    1
  231. Where did Mr. Anti-aftermarket go? Oh, that's Eric O. 😉 Why not put the new switch below the old one, in a horizontal position? OR :hand-orange-covering-eyes: Put the new switch on the right side of the steering wheel?
    1
  232. I want the Break Clean concession. 😃
    1
  233. Always nice to see Wife Unit.
    1
  234. Always nice to see Lauren. Talk about taking your life in your hands, driving that thing. The SUV not Lauren. 😁
    1
  235. Great diag Ray. Nice job. I was wondering, what do you tell the owner? Do you go into the crap job the transmission place did that caused his problems as well as mention the main seals they should have fixed?
    1
  236. 2:22 Just look at the rotor.
    1
  237. And you bought this just to make a video?
    1
  238. Always nice to see Wife Unit.
    1
  239. You've been saying "we have no gas", since the last video.
    1
  240. What the hell is that buzzing sound??
    1
  241. Always nice to see Lauren. She should do all your filming. When you un-clip the clips, slip a piece of plastic in to prevent it from reconnecting. Are you sure Detroit engineers didn't have a hand in the design of that switch assembly? 🤔🤨
    1
  242. New engine or repair or new car. Decisions, decisions. Some people can't afford either. Question: My, bought new, 2001 Mazda Tribute has 270k+ miles. Lots of money put into it and runs fairly well. Original engine, new trans. Should I buy a used SUV, that will be newer? Trouble is I would start the parts replacement all over again. My present SUV has mostly new parts.
    1
  243. $3.69 a gal. I thought we in the north east were high.
    1
  244. So, what's going on with the new addition?
    1
  245. I was yelling at you through the whole video to do it that way and you finally heard me.
    1
  246. Why would coils be illegal? A FEW HOURS LATER!
    1
  247. Always nice to see Lauren. Ray telling Dave he likes to do his job twice? "Shmoo" actually came from the 1940s cartoon Lil Abner. A Shmoo was a fictitious blob character. Do a search for "Li'l abner shmoo". The character first appeared in the comic strip Li'l Abner on August 31, 1948. Dorman lives up to their reputation once again.

  248. Not a Chevy fan but that rig has some good gauges. Wife unit 👍
    1
  249. Good rig on the ball joints. 👍 (couldn't find the finger emoji for Ford) 😉
    1
  250. I took my car in to a new mechanic as there was a squeak coming from the front end. He gave an mediate diagnosis of a break sensor. I know what a break sensor sounds like and that isn't what it was. Turned out to be the struts had a squeak and a little lube fixed the squeak. Problem is, that initial off the cuff diagnosis caused a trust problem with the new mechanic. English for Beginner Level: Speak Real English: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dEcr9M0xKE4&ab_channel=SpeakEnglishWithVanessa 😃😃😃
    1
  251. If you can afford to buy a new OEM compressor, you might as well buy a new car. 😁 15:55 Did you just call a Ford Escape a Jeep? Shame on you. 🤔😟
    1
  252. Thanks for the interlude. 😁 Always nice to see Lauren. Your "cloth tape" is called Cloth Friction Insulating Tape. Just thought I'd mention that. 🙂 SAVE THE RATS!!!!!!! 😆
    1
  253. That's what you get when you buy a Jeep. Repairs will probably cost as much as the Jeep cost. With all those problems, where do you start?
    1
  254. OOoooooooooooo special effects!! :face-blue-wide-eyes:😁 Reality = $$$$ Used engine = no warranty rebuilt engine = warranty
    1
  255. Always nice to see the wife unit. 👍 When did we discover it was the radiator that was the problem? I watched vid #1 and don't remember that. Don't you think the engine should be flushed out before the radiator is installed?
    1
  256. Have your mechanic inspect any car you are thinking of buying. No brainer.
    1
  257. What a piece of crap car. Does this guy ever wash or clean it? Take pictures of each wheel and email him. If he still doesn't believe you, tell him to drag his butt down there and see for himself.
    1
  258. Always nice to see Lauren.
    1
  259. You don't have a stethoscope? What did I miss? I'm 10 min. into this video wondering why you are stripping this car down. So you're assuming the timing belt? If you used a stethoscope you would know if its the timing belt or the A/C compressor. Hate to see the tear down only for you to find out it's the A/C.
    1
  260. Nothing like starting up a space heater, while only 8 feet away, you're pumping fuel into a truck. What could possibly happen? 🤔🤨
    1
  261. Fix the belt! And how much longer would it have taken to change out fuel injectors?
    1
  262. Would JB Weld stick to your split lift tank? My guess would be a bent frame or an alignment issue.
    1
  263. Mazda Tribute has a Ford drive train Always nice to see Lauren. My mechanic has donuts for delivery guys. He gets great service. Nice job Ray. Excuse the pussy cat. It used to be an eagle. YouTube didn't like the language I was using so they cut me off from commenting for 24 hours, even though I was watching videos where every nasty four letter word was being used. I guess that's OK. (?)
    1
  264. Not inflation, O'Reilly's. Shop there, pay top dollar. Almost as bad as NAPA. Only thing missing is a dodly dodly do. 😃 Save the old motor. Remember, you bought a Dorman.
    1
  265. For the life of me, I can't understand why people buy Jeeps. What crap.
    1
  266. Don't care how "limited" it is, it's still a Jeep and a piece of junk.(my opinion)😉 Do you think that the vent being clogged up, might have something to do with it? 🤔🤨 Jeep owner.
    1
  267. So you have both lifts tied up. Are you losing any money? BTW: Who's Cody?
    1
  268. How come the tac doesn't zero out when the engine is turned off? Truck looks like one large struggle.
    1
  269. EZ PZ
    1
  270. Sometimes there is no backlight for the switches. My Tribute has no backlight. Never has. First thing you should check is that bottom switch. If On, it prevents all the other widows from going down. i.e. child protection. When you are done, and the truck is given back to the owner, he will wonder why all the things that he never knew he had are now suddenly working. 😁
    1
  271.  @Mike_Regan  Ray posted the original comment.
    1
  272. Let's see: Sockets from China, junk. New solvent tank, junk. Does that tell you anything? 🤔 You seem to be having the same day I am. ☹ After all that mayhem it's always nice to see Lauren.
    1
  273. Seeming to find out why they say it's 7 hours. You do all this working for someone else? Your Fathers tourque wrench?
    1
  274. Is management aware of your Parts Department and the problems they cause?
    1
  275. What a bear of a job. Could they throw more crap in your way? Better you than me. Good job Ray.
    1
  276. So where is troy? Who's the new Aaron guy?
    1
  277. I have no idea what you're doing. :hand-orange-covering-eyes: But I'll give you a thumbs up because it seems you know what you're doing. 😁
    1
  278. Does this truck run so dirty, it needs 4 converters? If it's a "non-diag job", why do you keep doing it? No air speed = no lift = no fly If those front converters are not original, I would have a talk with the people that put them in. Empty converters? You're going to have a problem trying to return them. Please let us know what happens. You might ask your neighbor, if he's been the one working on the truck.
    1
  279. Always nice to see Lauren. Owner didn't expect that bill.
    1
  280. Get it started and drive right to the junk yard.
    1
  281. Take me back to the 1950s when none of this BS existed. No actual torque specs for this part?
    1
  282. So when are we going to get Troy's story?
    1
  283. You might want to put the truck on stands instead of the jack. Much safer. See 0:46 You should know better.
    1
  284. All bundled up. Did the temperature drop to 70 degrees? 😁 Safety is paramount. Those lift locks are there for a reason.
    1
  285. It's good to be King. A couple of small problems and you get to go home. 🤨 Suck it up Ray. Nice job on getting the Jeep down. 👍
    1
  286. This filmed on a Monday? You seem to be have a lot of trouble.
    1
  287. Don't you wish all radiator replacements were that easy?
    1
  288. would be interesting to know why the decline of service.
    1
  289. YEA RAY!! 🤩
    1
  290. Ray, Have you thought about bringing on an apprentice? They would come in handy around there. Local vocational school could help with that.
    1
  291. Time to build a kennel for the pups at home. Big enough for a quick run and an indoor space. Set then up with auto feeders and water. That way you can leave them at home and not worry about them. But the Hyundai is pretty. Who cares that the rest of the car is crap? Isn't that the way Americans buy cars? Dyslexia kicking in Ray? P0465 should be P0456?
    1
  292. Take the bolt you have and head to the nearest hardware store and see if you can find a longer replacement. New bolt will probably cut new threads. Find a nut to fit also. (if you had a shop helper, you could send them.) Go get a new sub frame and prepare for a lot of work and cost. 40 min to the nearest hardware store? What part of the boondocks is your shop? I can say one thing. It took guts to publish this video.👍
    1
  293. It's a commercial truck. What did you expect? Do you think that when you said "the other guy did or didn't do this", the "other guy" really gives a damn?
    1
  294. "Punish the next guy"? That just may be you. 🤪
    1
  295. That was a bit of nothing.
    1
  296. 1:45 And Chrysler will not do a thing about a crappy part. Just make you keep on replacing it. I haven't received notifications from YouTube for years. Is it me, or didn't you tighten down the air intake hose from the filter box? 45:55 to 46:44 Oil price is a bit expensive.
    1
  297. That's why corporations loose they're best employees. BTW: No screws to hold the Rotors on? Always nice to see Lauren. Florida driving rules, New Jersey driving rules. There's a difference? Just had a 4.8 earthquake here in New Jersey.
    1
  298. Ever think to use liquid nitrogen?
    1
  299. That fluid on the belt won't cause a problem?
    1
  300. You are dropping every bolt you touch, because I wished it on you. I've been doing the same for two days and I thought it was time to pass it on to someone else. 😁
    1
  301. And the missing bolt?
    1
  302. What ever you do, don't tell your boys that the turn around of customer cars is too slow. If that's a break line running on the outside of that bracket, I see some rubbing going on just from the vibration and movement of the frame. BTW: You're saying "sooooooooo" again. Getting to be like the woman you complained about.
    1
  303. So sorry for the lady. How someone can sell something like that to anyone, is beyond me. They should be taken out and shot.
    1
  304. Ray. Your left is his right. So when you point to his right and say left, it can be confusing. 🤨 And remember he's driving yacht. Always nice to see Lauren. I've been saying a bad solenoid from the start.
    1
  305. Always listen to Wife Unit. Always nice to see Wife Unit. 5:55 Something spraying just below the filter?
    1
  306. Accusation: Doesn't matter. You'll charge them what the book says, even if you do it in half the time.
    1
  307. Is the cost worth the horsepower gain?
    1
  308. $300 valve stem? You're in Florida and you were surprised that "someone pulled right out in front of you"?
    1
  309. I think you need a new parts distributor. 🤔🤨 All those new parts and you won't replace the throw out bearing? Part is less than $100.
    1
  310. Isn't one of those negative jumpers supposed to go to an engine ground and not the terminal on the battery?
    1
  311. Even with all the Jeeps you have had to fix in the past, you still say you "really like these boxie SJ's"?
    1
  312. Typical GM. Why should anything be leaking at 98K? Take a look at that paint. Why would anyone buy a GM anything? Ooooooooooooooo Special effects again. 😃 Always nice to see Lauren.
    1
  313. You have to get a hat cam.
    1
  314. Business slow? Troy working for you is like the old days. Work all week and buy all your stuff at the company store. Does he sign his check over to you?
    1
  315. So????? What happened? I think everyone cringed when you put that intake on.
    1
  316. Good job Ray.
    1
  317. Every single video? Excellent! Because, it's always nice to see Lauren.
    1
  318. That "music" you played was really annoying.
    1
  319. Audio cuts out now and then. I was going to mention ventilation, but you seem to have that covered. Before putting anything else in or cutting anymore holes, you should consider where and how you are going to do that. Don't yell at Troy. He's doing what you pay him to do, his job.
    1
  320. Always nice to see Lauren. What did that beautiful flex pipe unit cost? I'm guessing about $600. Just searched it on the net, and found it for sale, at $1325. 😵‍💫 Eric O, to save his customer money, just cut out the bad flex pipe portion and welded in a new one. You're getting really good at breaking off studs. Time to spend some of those profits. You needed those tools when they broke, why are you waiting?
    1
  321. After listening to his truck description, I'm sure this guy won't be back. 😁 He want's to put money into this? This guy doesn't need anything, but a new truck. Always nice to see Lauren. The last "best jeep ever" was during WWII. Tear the truck down for parts and junk the rest.
    1
  322. What a PITA!
    1
  323. You don't think an empty fuel tank, your words 4:23 , has anything to do with it?
    1
  324. You sure about the rubber diaphragm? 😄 Always nice to see Lauren. This is a bugger of a diagnostic.
    1
  325. You need a wider funnel. Just buy the same funnel and cut off the end.
    1
  326. Always nice to see Lauren. You may want to rethink having that radio on. Song royalties.
    1
  327. "mirrow". Isn't that the stuff on the middle of your bones?
    1
  328. Drill a hole and put a toggle switch in.
    1
  329. Sounds like you need a good mechanic. GM strikes again! Could be worse. Could be raining. Oh. Sorry. 😃
    1
  330. Owner could have done that trunk latch himself. 🤔🤨
    1
  331. Did I miss something? Why are you using a creeper and not the lift? What a PITA of a job.
    1
  332. Viewer from the future here. Ray, soon you will leave this dead end job and open up your own place. You won't have to put up with the BS any more.
    1
  333. A lot of Jeeps go through your garage. 🤔🤨 Just because the relay is new, doesn't mean its good.
    1
  334. 0:01 The gathering of the beef. 😁
    1
  335. The guy does all this crap to the car and when he has a problem, he takes it to you? Why not take it to the guy that did all that crap?
    1
  336. Always nice to see Wife Unit.
    1
  337. If the fluid you are putting in is permanent, use the best you have.
    1
  338. Always nice to see the Wife Unit.
    1
  339. Was this before or after you were fired? 😁
    1
  340. You can see the guy who was doing all the work when pushing that van in.
    1
  341. Welcome back from vaca. Hope you, Wife Unit an all the Little Units had a nice relaxing time. Always nice to see Wife Unit, no matter how brief. 15:17 Don't you just love it when you ask for a "personal day" and they ask you why you need one? Glad I don't have to put up with that BS any more.
    1
  342. Been wondering for a while, why is that door always open? Seems to be constantly in the way.
    1
  343. How can a person own a car and not know a damn thing about it.
    1
  344. Business slow? Wife Unit shouldn't have anything to do now. She hired new help for the office and you hired Troy for the shop. 😁 We'll never see her again and it's always nice to see Wife Unit.

  345. That cap will get you every time. OEM big bucks, hence the after market.
    1
  346. It's hard when you actually have to be a mechanic and not rely on computers to tell you whats wrong. Once everybody is driving an electric car, we won't need you any more.
    1
  347. Who taught you how to solder?
    1
  348. Sorry to hear about your son. Hope he heals and feels better.

  349. 17:00 Love it when you speed it up and you go Donald Duck. 😆😆😆

  350. You have a flatbed tow truck and your a mechanic and you're sending it to a junk yard? Nice project truck that could be very useful. You don't seem to be having a good day, today, Ray. All GM had to do was to put an indentation on that tank so the bolt could be taken out, but that would cut into their labor costs. 🤨 If you notice, the ends of the bolts are squared off (hex). You might use that to help you get the bolts out.
    1
  351. Tell the truck owner to junk it. You couldn't give me a Jeep. Why didn't you just flush the cooling system to start with. Get all the crap out, fill with clear water and then watch it? You could also put some die in the oil and look for it in the cooling system. No lower petcock on that radiator?
    1
  352. 3:42 That lead sitting on the metal table won't change the ohm reading?
    1
  353. Why not just drive that to the junk yard? 🤨
    1
  354. I have my own independent mechanic. I wouldn't set foot in a retail environment. I think we're all glad you went independent.
    1
  355. Close the doors and take a nap.
    1
  356. Do you realize , you are measuring to different places on the wheel well, on each side of the car? Left side you are measuring towards the back and right side to the front. Don't you think the measurement should be taken 90 degrees to the floor, to the center of the well? Some engineer out there has to redesign the workings of the door panel. What you had to do is unbelievable. How about a removable inside panel held in by 9 bolts where everything is attached to the inside panel and it all comes out in one unit? Can't be that difficult.
    1
  357. I have a timing chain cover leak that I'm holding off on, because of the $1500 price tag. I can imagine what this job will cost.
    1
  358.  @michaelsnively3621  And a trip to the mechanic, anyway. 🤨😁
    1
  359. Does "FREE" mean "FREE FOR LIFE"?
    1
  360. You could always put a spring helper kit on it?
    1
  361. You did the back three in fast motion so we don't get to hear all the cussing. 😃
    1
  362. Always nice to see Lauren.
    1
  363. You just touched those rotors with those greasy gloves, then put the caliper on. No spray?
    1
  364. Glad you switched to Aven and the Chipmunks speed. Things were kind of dragging. 🦉
    1
  365. Who does your inventory there? That should not happen. That balancer is amazing. Couldn't be easier.
    1
  366. Wife unit 👍
    1
  367. As with most car designers and engineers, you would think there would be an access panel you could remove in the back. But then they couldn't charge an outrageous amount of money to do the job.
    1
  368. Not every mechanic that will go that extra step for a customer. Nice work.
    1
  369. Always nice to see Lauren even if it's in a blatant promotion. 😁 70 degrees in New Jersey yesterday. Every stinking day, with the high beams. Soooooooo annoying. "Pretty sure we found the problem." Your think so? 🤔🤨. Why does the left side go into the trans and the right side goes onto a shaft from the trans? More talking. Long videos. :face-purple-smiling-fangs:
    1
  370. Always nice to see Lauren.
    1
  371. How soon before you are sitting in the office and all your guys are doing the work? I like that ratchet you used for the plugs. Where can I get one?
    1
  372. Rust comes with living in New York. In winter, they salt the heck out of the roads. Cars are ready for the junk yard after 3-4 years. 11:20 "Why is that cap blue. Blue is for the low side".? I think that is the "low side" and should be red. That rotor had to be glowing, on the trip from NY. So, what's the word? How many guys do you have working for you now? We keep seeing different guys working on cars there.
    1
  373. A tenacious man. No wonder the Wife Unit is always smiling. 😃
    1
  374. As the video insert said, "you didn't see that coming?". Ray not having a good day. 🥴
    1
  375. Nice looking El Camino. You mean there aren't 8 different regulators at $75 each? How will it ever run? 🤨😃
    1
  376. Was that guy actually driving with those tires? :hand-orange-covering-eyes: Straight from, and should be to, the junk yard.
    1
  377. Way to go Ray! Sleep well. 😌
    1
  378. Do all rookies have those problems? 🙂
    1
  379. Nasty for 18K. That was their answer to the leak. Tighten the valves down as hard ass they could. Boy, did you luck out with that cap box falling. 😲😏
    1
  380. What does it take for a recall to be issued? What will prevent this from happening again?
    1
  381. Nothing but luck to you.
    1
  382. I was wondering about that "drain plug". Glad you pointer out your mistake. Why not leave the stand pipe open as you fill it? Then fluid starts coming out, your full.
    1
  383. They actually expected the noise to go away after pulling the valve covers? Who foots this bill?
    1
  384. The question is, that if you advertise on the billboard, can you handle the extra work?
    1
  385. We have a word for what you are doing, here in the Great North. But it would offend too many people if I mentioned it. Who owns that piece of junk?
    1
  386. Why drive it any further? Just asking for trouble.
    1
  387. Did you just say "sticking your shaft in your lubricated holes"? 🤔🤨😄 "Blow the crankshaft off"? Ray?! 😄
    1
  388. 1:53 "The little Rainman That Could". 😃
    1
  389. My Mazda has a long crank as well as a starting problem in the cold. Buying a new cam sensor today. Thanks
    1
  390. I enjoy the chipmunk voice over. 😁 Always nice to see Lauren. You wised up. She's the only reason we tune in. 🤩 Is it me, or didn't you button down the top of the right strut? You said you were going to do it from the top, but you didn't.
    1
  391. 5:25 In these circumstances you should put the camera on the Wife Unit. Much nicer to look at. 😁
    1
  392. With the cost of doing what you are doing, it might be cheaper to just cut the wheel off and buy a new one.
    1
  393. Drove down from the Great White North and junked, so this guy bought it? No? Flood car, so this guy bought it? No? Great history. Why oh why doesn't he just buy another car, instead of sinking money into this clunker? If there is an electric fuel pump, just by turning the key to an on position is "pumping the gas".
    1
  394. Yes, moderately informing and somewhat entertaining. 😁
    1
  395. Don't you just miss the "Good Old Days"? 😆
    1
  396.  @nathanthornton5085  Reeeeeeaaaaaaly fast! :hand-orange-covering-eyes:😂
    1
  397. When it doesn't start, I'll get a new battery. Meanwhile, I get X amount of days/weeks without sticking my hand into my wallet. Stranded? That's why I have AAA. Comes down to the Benjamin's. 3:47 through 5:25 : You playing with special effects again? 🤔😁 Put the insulation back. Not your car.
    1
  398. What ever happened to safety chains that had to be tied between the car and trailer? You should tow that right to the junk yard. What a waste of money. Potential for scrap. Junk it. Why not buy a three year old jeep and throw in a new drive train? Probably a bunch cheaper. Ray. I have a $20,000 2001 Mazda Tribute you can have. Only 267,000 miles. Runs great.
    1
  399. Good documentary. 😃 Always nice to see Lauren, 27:44 You do sound like Bob Ross. You just have to frizz up your hair and use the words "happy little" more often. 😊
    1
  400. When you pull the hoses off, aren't you jut sucking air through your machine and does that cause a problem? Wife unit 👍 Break fluid is quite caustic, yet you have it on your floor as well in the calipers, etc of the car. Hope you cleaned that up?
    1
  401. Cleaned up and maintained to sell. Smart seller. I didn't see you check the trans fluid. Love the special effects. 😅😅😅😅😅😅
    1
  402. I road for over 40 years. I know the horrors of riding. Your story is typical. I had a guy coming towards me who made a left turn at the same time I was entering the intersection. I laid the bike down as he passed in front of me and managed to pop it back up. I caught up with the guy and gave him hell. He looked at me like I was nuts. He had no idea what he did. I stopped riding when I was 70.
    1
  403. You didn't put any oil on that filter seal before you put it in.
    1
  404. As you said, you're not really a welder. You might want to take some time to practice. 🤔🤨 Next time this guy comes in, he'll ask if Dave is available.
    1
  405. Time for the parts fields.
    1
  406. What a PITA of a job. What's the book on this job? I even had a sigh of relief when that came out. Pleasure in your suffering? Let me say, better you than me. Good job bro.
    1
  407. I don't think you have to answer to us about anything. We're just happy you and Lauren are safe and ok. Do what is good for you and yours. When someone buys a home, on an island, at sea level, what do you expect when a hurricane comes through? My prayers go out to the families of those that died.
    1
  408. Always nice to see Lauren. Ray. You can't afford to hire a cleaning crew to clean those walls? I had a '81 Camaro that was causing major problems. I would take my foot off the gas at speed, but the car would keep running on. It eventually ruined my Catalytic converter. In and out of the dealers with no explanation or fix. I finally sold it and bought a different car. I found out the cause because a guy I worked with, had a daughter with the same problem and her dealer found out the problem.
    1
  409. Always nice to see Lauren. Even the lower half. 😁
    1
  410. NJ green arrow before. Wife unit is #1 👍👍👍
    1
  411. Always nice to see Lauren.
    1
  412. Not "secret" any more. 😁 Typical Chevy. Hide the back plugs. 45 min video on a plug change? Come on Ray.
    1
  413. What a ball busting job. 🤬🤬🤬 Did you charge by the book on this one? Always nice to see Lauren.
    1
  414. You show the top of that tool chest and say "efficiency"? 🤔
    1
  415. Don't mind the long videos, but not to fond of long repeat procedures on the same job. Maybe bring Lauren into the video for a distraction? 😃
    1
  416. First thing I would have done, is clean all the crap off of the work area. I guess you like working in oily grime. YouTube has suspended an existence for less. You couldn't use your new toy up front? You might mention the tires to the customer. You can see the top of Abe Lincolns head. 😁
    1
  417. It's a Jeep. There's nothing "quite right" about it. The thing should be in a junk yard. Notice I didn't say salvage yard. Nothing to salvage. Some day you'll learn to turn them away. But then again, they are a money maker for you. Always nice to see Lauren. Maybe you can sell the Jeep to the Ford owner? I'd like to know where he can get the alternator cheaper. You go cheap on repairs, you get what you pay for. I never went cheap and I have over 260K on my 2001 Mazda bought new.
    1
  418. Could they make it any harder to get to? Is there no common sense in engineering? Good call. What was that about my time? Sorry I fell asleep. :-)
    1
  419. Ray got a new toilet too. Good for him. 😄 Always nice to see Lauren.
    1
  420.  @danielrobertson5968  Maybe they have to pump it out?
    1
  421. The more I watch you Ray, the more I can see, you were wasting your time and intelligence at that dealership. Chevy chassis and engine, parts may come from your local GM dealer.
    1
  422. Why not put another front entry door in?
    1
  423. Really cool to see an old school tear down. Even with the problems you're finding, it's still rebuildable, if you have the bucks. How can that guy look at the rust on the intake and say all it needs is a cylinder honed? Definitely needs a tear down. Dump a gallon of turpentine into it a few times and it will good as new. 😆 Don't know if it's the camera, but I thought I saw a slight bend in one of those push rods. Why did I know, what you would find, when those heads came off? 😁 Great video!
    1
  424. Condensed.
    1
  425. Always nice to see Wife Unit. "The Corvette will stop it". 😆😆😆😆
    1
  426. Ra-Ray? Really? 🤔🤨
    1
  427.  @Calango741  No problem Cal-Cal.
    1
  428. It's a piece of junk Jeep. What do you expect?
    1
  429. Watching is fine. It's the listening that is difficult. 😉😁 i.e. grav·i·tas noun: gravitas: dignity, seriousness, or solemnity of manner. Not gravity. 😁 Those wonderful 'engineers', you mentioned, have made it easy to remove the condenser. All you have to do is remove the front end of the car. 🤨 Come on Ray, IT'S EASY! 😁
    1
  430. My 21 year old SUV has less problems than these new, high dollar, cars you get in.
    1
  431.  @polishhotdog933 You know, you can report this guy. Hit the three dots to the right.
    1
  432. Needs a filter relocation it.
    1
  433. Why don't you spray the inside with bug spray. Ant's probably got in, in your parking lot. Customer won't like them.
    1
  434. Only thing I question about that winch is the cable and pulleys. Seems a bit flimsy. So you've become the 'go to guy' for broken off studs. Word does get around. 😁
    1
  435. Why doesn't the owner take the Jeep to the junk yard and put all the repair money into a good car? The rear is not your call. It's the owners call. Did this guy give you a bucket of money and said "Fix everything!"?
    1
  436. Nothing like a Jeep. This car should last. Always nice to see Wife Unit.
    1
  437. I checked the price of the Techspray you used. Not cheap. I enjoyed watching something that I couldn't possibly do myself. Good job!
    1
  438. Slow time at work today?
    1
  439. Goes to show, GM engineering has been sucking for quite a while. why did you need Locktite? Once it's screwed in and installed in the car, it's not going anywhere.
    1
  440. "Stoichiometric harmony"? 1:58 What the hell is that? I thought you were just throwing crap out there to see if anybody was listening. I was. 1. concerned with, involving, or having the exact proportions for a particular chemical reaction. a stoichiometric mixture. 2. (of a compound) having its component elements present in the exact proportions indicated by its formula.
    1
  441. You repair by assumption?
    1
  442. And when did an "A" Frame become a Control Arm?
    1
  443. Is that the norm for a tire rotation? I thought it was front to back only. Good Alvin the Chipmunk impression.
    1
  444. What happens when the trans is pulled and the weight distribution changes? Oh, that's what happens. 🤔😒
    1
  445. Always nice to see Lauren. Dumb question: Why is the flex portion of the pipe on the one side, at the bottom and the flex portion on the other side at the top? Abt. $225 to do an initial fuel fill up of the truck? Wow!
    1
  446. So all it needed was 2 new fuses? Not the $700 worth of parts?
    1
  447. I'd be looking or nails in the tires after leaving there.
    1
  448. No copyright infringements on that Sponge Bob stuff?
    1
  449. Hey, it's the tropics. You always get showers in the tropics. Probably should have saved some of those blocks you threw away to fill the hole where that closet, you're about to tear down, will be.
    1
  450. You've come a long way, Ray. It's been fun watching progress to where you are today. Plus it's always nice to see Lauren. 😃
    1
  451. Who woulda thunk it?
    1
  452. If you notice, the plastic deformed, causing the O ring to do the same, causing the leak.  @chriswells2730 
    1
  453. Always nice to see Lauren. She "feels so low to the ground". She doesn't know that the ground is only about 6 inches from her butt.
    1
  454. New York rust bucket. Good luck with that.
    1
  455. Wife unit. 👍
    1
  456. Good video. One question: Is all this equipment and the cost, worth it for a truck you drive back and forth to work? Or is this just "boys and their toys" stuff?
    1
  457. Excellent video. Great closeups. I was waiting form the trans case to crack.
    1
  458. You're "surprised the plug is able to fire at all"? Apparently isn't, as the car won't start. 😉 Car won't run. Are you sure the previous mechanic put the right plug in the right place? So what was it? The plugs or the not fully charged battery, causing the plugs to foul?
    1
  459. Yea Ray. You might want to change those tires, even if you get them from the junk yard. The owner is so cheap, who knows if he'll go along with your recommendations. Easier to push it out. You're only going to have to remove the shaft again anyway.
    1
  460. It's a Jeep. No surprise it's back.
    1
  461. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
    1
  462. Glad you guys are OK. Stay safe and I hope your friends and family will be OK.
    1
  463. Did we forget the cotter pins? 🤔 Glad to see you caught it. I was looking for a phone number on the net to call you. You showed the top one but not the bottom one. Hope you got that too.
    1
  464. I got that same call last week. All they want is your Medicare number so they can send you a new card with more benefits. Real nice people. 😁 Funny how the Governments hires only Indian immigrants. 🤔🤨
    1
  465. Not too much rust hanging off that front end? Don't blame you for being nervous. So Ray is the guy they go to, when no body else wants the job. Lucky Ray. 21:38 When the inner chipmunk comes out in Ray. 😆 A lot of work and money for, what, 3 horsepower and a vroom, vroom?
    1
  466. Tough job well done.
    1
  467. I must of missed something. So what happened to Troy? BTW: Excellent diagnostics on that mess. One word for that motor rebuild company. LAZY. BTW: You might recommend those sway bar links get fixed. Overall, a great job Ray. Keep plugging.
    1
  468. Always nice to see Wife Unit, no matter how sneaky she is. 😃😁 Good to see that I'm not the only one that keeps dropping bolts when working on anything. 😄 You don't care about the oil left behind. You just like spraying that break cleaner. 😃
    1
  469. You just laid your multi-meter on a magnet.
    1
  470. Nicer than the Jeep? 😁 Now that the video is over, do you still think this junker is "nice"?
    1
  471. Good video. Owner trying his best to get a warranty claim.
    1
  472. Ray, Great job going the extra mile. Cheaper that a new trans. 👍 You get an ATABOY for that one.
    1
  473. Sounds like a lawn tractor. 😁
    1
  474. I've topped off every fill up on every car I've had and never ran into this problem. Been driving of 65 years.
    1
  475. You and yours, have to start checking the boxes before the delivery driver leaves your shop. If you don't want to do this, then stop bitching.
    1
  476. Is all this work cost effective?
    1
  477. If they're not cheep to maintain, and you can't afford to maintain them, then DON'T BUY ONE!
    1
  478. Nice job Ray.
    1
  479. I always thought the negative cable goes to a chassis ground on the live battery not the terminal.
    1
  480. I wish I had your patience.
    1
  481. If it wasn't for gravity, you wouldn't know where half your tools and parts were. 😃
    1
  482. Do you really need that? Really. Do you? 🤔 After all, all you're going to do is drive it back and forth to work.😁 Now that all the parts are off, time to put them on EBAY.
    1
  483. Your supplier doesn't deliver?
    1
  484. You don't have a transmission stand to help you hold that shaft? Is that shaft pre-lubed at the factory? Where are the zip ties?
    1
  485. You find a crap Dorman part is faulty and you put another crap Dorman part in to replace it? It's verking? For how long? Did you re-test it now that you had it apart and played with it? (It will be back 🤨)
    1
  486. Isn't Detroit engineering wonderful? 🤨🙄
    1
  487. You're the only 'good Floridian' that uses their signals. Way to stick to it. Good job Ray.
    1
  488. New opening. NICE! I think hitting you in the face is worst than hitting us in the face.
    1
  489. Lights: I have no idea what you're doing. 🤔😁
    1
  490.  @ToddAdams1234  Google search "When did dashboard begin?".
    1
  491. Why didn't you just cut the protective sleeve along with the hose?
    1
  492. You don't own a floor jack?
    1
  493. You call the customer and tell him he got the wrong part, then you go out and get the right part and charge the customer for the correct part. You then give the wrong part back to the customer and let him handle the return. 27:34 What does that say about the PT Cruiser?
    1
  494. And another storm on the way. With all that weight in the bed, I'm surprised with the lift points of the truck.
    1
  495. For ever so brief, it's always nice to see the Wife Unit. 😉 Everybody saw you leave the socket on the bolt except you.
    1
  496. Always nice to see Lauren.
    1
  497. Who is BG to dictate that you can't use customer supplied oil? BTW: Have you ever swept that floor since moving in there? 14:00
    1
  498. How about changing the plugs also? Dumb question: Why is there engine coolant running through the throttle body? You don't own a mirror?
    1
  499. Excellent job Ray. And you didn't break off any studs. 😃
    1
  500. Instead of ripping a filter apart, clean up your bench. "Click" in German is "klicken".
    1
  501. Always nice to tear your dash apart, only to find a bad ground.
    1
  502. "Comparably priced" doesn't mean comparable quality. 29:50 I know. My son-in-law used to sell bulk oil. I've heard the stories. That's why I bring my own oil to an oil change. You can always get some petunias from Home Depot. 😃
    1
  503. New stall? Time for a new hire. 😁 I paid over $2000 for a rebuilt trans, so I can imaging what a new engine will be. Beats new car payments. Still driving my new 2001 Mazda with over 264000 miles on it. 19 years with no car payments? Nice. 🤑
    1
  504. What plugs did you change to?
    1
  505. Who the hell engineered that crap car?
    1
  506. Damn! What a bear!
    1
  507. But it's a "SUPER DUTY"!!!!
    1
  508. A lot of weight hanging off the back of the truck. If you lived up North, the bed would probably fall off. 40:00 Chipmunk Ray. 😃 You know, they do make funnels. (Better late, than never) I can't believe you left that guy stranded in the middle of the road. And your a mechanic? 😯👎 Lost of respect man.
    1
  509. Doing it twice may have something to do with making a video when your putting in a condenser.
    1
  510. Not a car made that doesn't have engineering problems. In my Mazda, you have to pull the whole top end just to change the back plugs. Move everything forward 4 inches when manufactured or the firewall 4 inches back and you wouldn't have too.
    1
  511. Good video and it didn't go on forever.
    1
  512. "A grapple hook picker upper device"? 🤔😁 "Clampy arm thing"? They didn't bother to clean the skid steer up, before giving it to you? A very expensive floor jack. wouldn't it have been easier to drive your truck to the tires and load them into the truck?
    1
  513. The transmission specs don't have a capacity? I.e. calls for 10 qts, you put in 10 qts? You're not fixing the air bag light?
    1
  514. Tell her to stay clear of that other shop.
    1
  515. That EGR. You actually know what your doing. 😆
    1
  516. Here in NJ, the old parts are given to the customer. How many PCV valves on that car? You mentioned the PCV hose on two occasions. Two different hoses. 3:16 and 9:00
    1
  517. Wife unit 👍 Don't you think it's time to get rid of that Jeep and free the lift up for more work?
    1
  518. All you do gooders have a net worth $ 119K - $ 716K?

  519. Why all manufacturers don't put in access doors to fuel pumps, is beyond me. My Mazda has one and the job is so much more easy. Money for the dealers, I guess. By the time you dropped the tank, I would have had the pump changed out in my Tribute. That chipmunk does a good job. An a quick job. 😆🐹 Always nice to see Lauren.

  520. You would think, that Chevrolet would have gotten it right by now. The more I see stuff like this, the more I think drive by wire is the way to go.

  522. I hope you have a customer base to start with. Only advice I can give you is to trust in yourself.

  523. Two new storms on the way. Only a 20 dollar piece of plastic and 150 dollar labor charge. 😁

  525. 9:00 Auto engineers shouldn't complain about anything. 🤔🤨

  526. So you're putting it back on the street? 🤔

  527. Hell of a lot of work just to get a pan off.

  528. I haven't found a shop that has lost money yet. You buy bulk oil. What guarantee do we get that it's a quality oil? Most shop buy the cheapest they can get. When I buy my own, I know the quality I'm getting. Is the oil you install better than the Castrol I buy? My son-in-law sold bulk oil, so I know what the shops buy. Is the oil and air filter you install a better quality than the Fram filters I buy? I doubt it. Take the Jag to the dealer and see what it cost. Better leave your owner supplied parts at home. You could have added another 30 sec to that cabin filter change and blown out all those leaves. That would have been customer service.

  529. Are you going to part out the rest of the car?

  534. Nothing "fine" about Chrysler automotive products. 4:06 6:13 What the hell was that? Not necessary. Always nice to see Lauren. Looking good. Chrysler engineering at it's best. They used to work for GM. Great place to put an oil cooler. Sink it down into the hottest part of the engine.

  544. Is the cam shaft sprocket supposed to float back and forth like that? 19:00 What happened to the outer Thrust Washer on the camshaft sprocket? You know, you really do "love your job so much you do it twice". 😃😃😃😃

  545. You have to pull it into the garage just to rotate the tires? You do know the handle does come off the jack?

  548. Definitely a car that was not maintained.

  549. When a car is wrecked that bad, how can you be sure the engine is in working order? The shock from the accident could have cracked or dislodged anything internally. Very impressive unloading.
    1
  550. Free of charge? Ad for Banks is free. Parts are free. You wanted the change. So? Free or not? Don't you own a magnet? For everything your always dropping, it would be a wise purchase. Looks like Banks has it all together. Much nicer unit, than that junk you originally installed. What is the price difference? I'm assuming, the filter is washable. Am I right?
    1
  551. I thought you were closed down today because of weather? Not complaining. 😁 It's a good thing that some of your thoughts are just fleeting. 😁 You need to get a Creme Brulee Torch to use for your shrink wrap jobs. $27 on the internet. Always nice to see Lauren.

  552. It's always the last fuse.

  554. The 6.6L Duramax L5P engine is manufactured at the GM Duramax plant in Moraine, Ohio, USA.

  555. Why isn't this vehicle going back to the people that installed the new engine? I would think it's their responsibility. I would like to be a fly on the wall, when the owner confronts the installer. Looking forward to you making it right.

  556. PT Cruisers and Jeeps. STAY AWAY!!!!!!! 7:59 You should use that chipmunk voice for the whole video. 😃🐿

  559. I've been driving a stick since 1957. Started with 3 on the tree, progressed to 4 on the floor. Drove multi gear trucks in the Air Force. My last Camaro was 5 on the floor. (piece of junk car). I've been automatic since. Always nice to see Lauren. The owner of that truck isn't going to like that phone call. 😳 Looking forward to Part 2.

  560. Nobody else there to give you a hand pulling that out? Smartened up putting the new one in.
    1
  561. I think NAPA sells VW Shmuu. 😄😀 One of your best videos.
    1
  562. I think I would have beat on the pump before doing all that electrical evaluation. Like you said, you drove it in and then it stopped starting. I never saw such BS to pull a fuel pump. What I like about my Mazda Trubute. Pull the seat up, pull a piece of carpet back and take out 4 screws and there's the pump. Thanks Ford!
    1
  563. Question: In my day, break fluid was highly corrosive. Lately, when watching break jobs etc., care isn't taken when dealing with break fluid. Is it not as corrosive as it used to be? "One hand for the nuts, and one for the hose"? 🤔😮😁 Sorry.😔 Always nice to see Lauren and the Child Unit, no matter how briefly.

  564. If they didn't bother to road test the car, you can imagine what they actually did to the car.

  566.  @peterpierce9233 Joe's Garage and Rehab? That's where I went. What a coincidence. 😃😃😃

  567. Remember the days you removed the engine from the car. Now you remove the car from the engine. 🤔😃 Ray, I have to hand it to you. You seem to know what your doing. I watched all thee videos. Excellent job. 👍

  568. Easy fix. Buy something other than a Jeep.

  569. Remember the days when all you had was an air filter and a carburetor? Cars ran fine.

  570. S**t happens.

  571. You showing Part 1 all over again?
    1
  572. Always nice to see Lauren. Doing all this work over that big gaping hole in the tank. :face-fuchsia-wide-eyes: That's what I like about my Mazda Tribute. Nice little door under the back seat and there's the pump.
    1
  573. Sure was a slow X2 speed.
    1
  574. So you're saying the cam and the crank sensors are the same? Is this true on all cars? If those 2 actuators are sludged up, what do the rest look like?
    1
  575. Can they make it any harder to pull a radiator? 😠 Why do you get mad? You don't have a boss up your butt.
    1
  576. Your new clamps rust out easily. OEM, no matter how hard to put on, are much better.
    1
  577. Why do these manufacturers have to hide all this stuff? If they're electronic, why don't they set them all up on a panel in the trunk? I can see why they're going electric.

  578. Cars today are unbelievable. Talk about over engineering.

  579. You broke it, you fix it.

  582. You'll have to change this from Rainman Ray's Repairs to Hardway Ray's Repairs. 🤔😛
    1
  583. Do you see what happens, when you state how easy things are going? 10:54 / 11:11 Definition of 'put the kibosh on'. 😄 That car is kind of a silk purse on a sow's ear, as the saying goes.
    1
  584. Storm blew right by you. Did I sense a hesitation on the torgue of that insert? 😊 Did you say $100 insert set? Talk about taking advantage. It's the American way! 😯😠
    1
  585. I'm sitting here yelling "YOU FORGOT TO TAKE THE PAPER OUT OF THE PORTS!" 28:00 How did it ever start up?
    1
  586. Maybe all that crap in the car is throwing all the setting off. If this trash truck had a problem that was in the interior someplace, would you accept it in that condition?
    1
  587. Nothing worse than un-lubricated phalanges. 😁 This vid is why my car has 255+ k and has the same mechanic for each mile. Are you sure this isn't a Jiffy Lube training film?
    1
  588. Every Jeep is a project. They're all crap.
    1
  589. I have no idea who Gale Banks is. 🤔
    1
  590.  @gibdonovan8113  Not everyone who watches Ray is an auto mechanic. Did Gale make my life any easier?
    1
  591. Owner must have deep pockets.
    1
  592. My 2001 Mazda Tribute, with 263k+ on the OD, has a leak at the timing chain cover. You would figure, no big deal. Problem is the labor cost to fix this is $1500. Mechanic says, I might as well change the timing chains while I'm at it. None of this is going to happen. 22 YO car w/263+K, I'm switching to 10w30 and putting sealer in. 10:38 For a guy who breaks off studs in engine blocks, you shouldn't comment on a previous mechanic that puts a zip tie on.
    1
  593. When do we get introduced to the new help?
    1
  594. Why couldn't the previous shop find this? Trying not to go into a higher tax bracket? Going the extra mile with the hose down. I'm impressed. Nice job Ray.
    1
  595. But make it difficult for the dishonest.
    1
  596. Upset and disgruntled. 🤨
    1
  597. The van should be in a junk yard. Pretty bad when the tires are so dry rotted that the rubber comes off in chunks. I notice, they have different tires on each wheel. Not a good practice. Different tread pattern. Another reason why there are chunks flying off the dry rot tire. Don't forget to PYA on the bill. How that shock tightens down, is probably why it fell off.
    1
  598. When they get "into the same room", they start listening to a political party that has a completely different agenda. I never knew George Carlin to be wrong. TANGENT MAN being attacked, :face-orange-frowning: for telling it like it is. I agree with you wholeheartedly Ray. I had the same opinion of corporate America, and I was told through my whole career, that I 'had a bad attitude'. I was actually introduced to new employees as the the guy with a bad attitude.
    1
  599. I have 270K+ on my engine and have never run a cleaner through it. Car runs great.
    1
  600. You don't have an electrical box where you can just trip the breakers to turn everything off? A new era in your life. Good luck man.
    1
  601. I always thought that you shouldn't do any welding on a vehicle with the batterie connected. Am I wrong? Always nice to see Lauren.
    1
  602. BMW codes are that way because they don't want you working on the car. They want the bucks. If the story is BS, WHY? What purpose did it serve? You sure your employer isn't testing you? Mine tried that when I was working, trying to F me up, so they would have a reason to let me go. The problem was I fooled them so that never happened.
    1
  603. 9:30 You swap the relays and the problem goes away, the car starts, and then you say "it's not the relay". ?????? I don't understand.
    1
  604.  @raymondsmith4808 It wasn't starting and now it was. Hence to confusion.
    1
  605. Always nice to see Wife Unit. Typical Jag. Was a time, you had to jack the engine off the mounts, in order to change the plugs. I see nothing has changed. Years from now, some guy will be pulling that compressor and be saying, "Who the hell put these damn wires in here?"
    1
  606. Bolting is the term applied to vegetable crops when they prematurely run to seed, usually making them unusable. So you're not 'bolting' or 'nutting' anything. You're tightening.
    1
  607. A lot of reusable parts.
    1
  608. Doesn't anyone cut rotters anymore?
    1
  609. Always nice to see the Wife Unit. Every time I watch you busting your butt, I wonder why you don't hire a shop helper.
    1
  610. You might try a helmet cam to free up your other hand. Word to the wise. If you can't afford to maintain a car, maybe it's time to get a bicycle.
    1
  611. What a rust bucket! Fluid on the floor? Really? You do know there is a bleeder reservoir tool? Even a plastic hose and a bucket will do the job.
    1
  612. Is that block made of pot metal? You have to reorder another kit? They're only good for one fix at that price?
    1
  613. The truck is slowly falling apart. 🤥 16:42 Oooooooooooo spooky! 😮 Good luck with that stud. Been there done that.
    1
  614. I like how Ray pays attention to the small stuff. Saves a lot of problems down the road. Where can we get those terminal clips?
    1
  615. Didn't we just watch Wife Unit and you in Michigan? The car is a hypochondriac. 😃 As soon as I see the name Dorman, I would question it.
    1
  616. Back at you. Best holiday ever. God bless all the former and present vets, and all who have given their lives for our great country.
    1
  617. Maybe that connection is supposed to move. Why would they have those springs on the bolts?
    1
  618. You make it look easy. Nice job. Of course not all replacements will go so easy.
    1
  619. "Ha ha, I'm going to win", but now you have to put the new on in. Easier to disconnect the tie rod.
    1
  620. Good work.
    1
  621. Old school saying: You take care of your equipment, it will take care of you. Safety tip: Never rely on jacks to hold the weight of what you are working on. Always use stands. The Drive motor gear is drained from the outside point, when at the bottom, and then closed. At that time the center point is opened and the oil is put into the center point and filled. In other words, the gear is only filled with one quart. You are doing things the hard way and over filling the gear.
    1
  622. Has to be the worse job to do on a car.
    1
  623. If you put it all in writing, it's on him. If he doesn't like it, that's what they make lawyers for. You know what they say about fools and their money.
    1
  624. And no mention about the door or power locks?
    1
  625. The owner didn't even pop the hood and check the wires? Wow! Does the whole trunk have to come off to do the rear struts? Nothing like turning 1 hour job into a 2 hour job. I think Officer Steve tried to sell me an extension on my car warranty a couple of weeks ago. 🤔 Hmmmmmm?
    1
  626. The filters hang down under the truck? Now that's scary. I'm surprised they haven't been hit or ripped off the truck. You're not worried about heat transfer, doing that weld? How many extra quarts of Amzoil oil have to be added? Always nice to see Lauren.
    1
  627. I hope you realize how lucky you are to have the Wife Unit.
    1
  628. So the new help is Troy. Always nice to see the Wife Unit, no matter how briefly. A Jeep is a piece of junk. You should have chosen a better project car.
    1
  629. Your lucky you brought Lauren into this long video, because it's always nice to see Lauren. 😁
    1
  630. Nice knees. 😄 Always nice to see Wife Unit, no matter how brief.
    1
  631. Normal? 🤨😊
    1
  632. You don't worry about cross threading those plugs?
    1
  633. And you want one of these lifts?
    1
  634.  @philipershler420  Mom and Dads cars back in the 40s.

  635. I hope YOU learned something. 😁 Makes you wonder, how many mechanics pass that mistake on to the cutsomer?
    1
  636.  @williameldridge9382  Well excuuuuuuse ME! 😃
    1
  637. Jeeps, Chevy's and Toyota's. We know what not to buy by now. 13:50 Always nice to see Wife Unit. You have to be alert. (The world needs more lerts) 😃 I think I would have sent those axles out to get the bearing pressed off. Why 'F' up your own equipment? Now that you screwed up your press, what are you going to do with the next short axle you get? I wonder about you sometimes. Go and tell Wife Unit to buy race pullers that will fit anything you're up against, instead of grinding down the ones you have to make it fit.
    1
  638. You could use a couple of loads of gravel in that lot. As is, a bad first impression on a new customer. Apparently not the original owner. No one would let their new Mercedes get that bad.
    1
  639. Also helps you fall asleep.
    1
  640.  @timradde4328  Sit through all 6 honings? One or two would have been enough. We get the idea.
    1
  641.  @timradde4328  6 or 8, two would have been enough and I did fast forward so all this is kind of irrelevant?
    1
  642. How long, do they expect a truck to run, that they don't take care of? Instead of the fender well, pull the solenoid. GoPro search: The word "ORGANIZATION" comes to mind.
    1
  643. You mean Wife Unit is back out there? 😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃
    1
  644. Sensor is cheap. Replace it. If that doesn't work send it back. Nissan was a good little car when it was a Datsun. <sp> Crazy town? No it's Florida. It's what you get when you live in the Tropics.
    1
  645. Blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
    1
  646. Nothing like aftermarket crap. 😒
    1
  647. Just because you have oil, doesn't mean you have oil pressure. Question: Why is the outside gate kept closed? O'Reilly Auto Parts? You like spending top dollar for parts.
    1
  648. You say that to all the boys.  @wifeunit 
    1
  649. Now I keep waiting to be attacked by a velociraptor. 😊🤔🤨😱💀
    1
  650. The Ford engineer was an ex GM engineer.
    1
  651. Troy? I thought Troy left? 🤔 I could swear you told us he went on to bigger and better things. (?) Where are the SEMA filter wrenches you were plugging? Question: What happens to the air pressure sensors when the tires are rotated? Does the right front automatically become the right rear, on the readout?
    1
  652. Was a time, in Model T days, when you would drain the oil, fill it up with kerosene, run it for a few minutes and drain. This would clean the whole system out. Question: Will you send that drained oil, with cleaner, out to be re-refined? 34:10 You were gay 20 years ago?
    1
  653. That filter housing: Engineers finally did something right. Probably why they closed down Pontiac. You're showing off. 😃
    1
  654.  @jamram9924  I didn't hear anything about getting the OK from the owner. 🤔
    1
  655. That was scary mounting the solar panel. There's stuff mounted underneath. I was waiting for the screws to go into them. I see you did hit the charger with one screw. 🤨
    1
  656. not really a good idea to make repairs unknown or approved by the owner. Opens you up to all kinds of problems.
    1
  657. Besides cost, why would anyone decline the repair?
    1
  658. Always nice to see Lauren. Ive always found, mechanics will charge what the book says, no matter how long/short the job takes. It's usually how short the job takes. The book always exaggerates the actual fix time. i.e. minimum 1 hour rule.
    1
  659. Anybody that would pry their hood with a crowbar, probably didn't maintain their car very well. Probably original wires. When I was a teenager, I had a flat head six cylinder that I wanted to change to wires on. Made the mistake not doing one at a time. Played hell until I got them sorted out. Lesson learned.
    1
  660. Story time with Ray!
    1
  661. Trying the save a jeeps life? Why? The last video we watched, Troy was cutting out those wheel wells. Synchronicity?
    1
  662. Apparently the owner doesn't fix things, just rigs them. You don't have to pack the bearing? Noticed a money light blinking at the end.
    1
  663. HELP!!! GET ME OUT OF THIS ENGINE!!!!! 😆 Always nice to see Lauren. Semi major tear down just to remove the valve cover. 🤨 One hour later, the cover is finally off. Don't you just love the modern car. 🤨 Did you get the customer approval for a full timing chain replacement? Went from a not so cheap job to a big bucks job.
    1
  664. Poor guy is lonely. He just wants a friend. Come on Ray, be his friend. 😁
    1
  665. Why not do a trade at a junk yard? 😃
    1
  666. Horse died 2 videos ago. Ray; I don't cut you any slack, but I must confess, I could never remember all you had to remember, to put that mess back together. Good job.
    1
  667. Put some baking soda in water and pour it over the corrosion on the battery. After it has cleaned up the corrosion, wash it off with fresh water.
    1
  668. Better you than me.
    1
  669. OH BOY! A TEAR DOWN! 😃 $15K for the engine, but whats the price to install it?
    1
  670.  @CPsGarage Still a lot of money.
    1
  671. What about the motor mount?
    1
  672. "Less flipity-flopity"? Did he want it less flipity-flopity or no flipity-flopity? Look at the picture on the box and you'll see a bottle of "cleaner".

  673. Today's Wednesday and the storm is hitting Fla. pretty bad. Looks like it will hit north of Sarasota. Hope you and yours are fairing OK. Stay safe.

  674. Hey, it's your truck, Ray. Do what ever you want. Yo don't have to ask us. 🙂
    1
  675. Have you noticed the check engine light?
    1
  676. Not exactly car proud, is he. Always nice to see Lauren. Apparently, no new hoses or belt? Also you're not going to flush the system? A lot of mechanics would have thrown a new pump i it. Good job Ray.
    1
  677. When you break something like that, does the business eat the cost and do you have to pay them? A 4 cylinder Jeep is about a powerful as a high end lawn mower.
    1
  678. Always nice to see Lauren.
    1
  679. This video world keep me from wanting to become a mechanic. The engineer is an ex-GM engineer.
    1
  680. Why don't you write down your ides about the months and send it off to your congressman? You live in Florida. That sounds like something they would consider. Range Rover, Epitome of over engineering. Let me get this straight. You change the plugs and that cleaned up pages of trouble codes?
    1
  681. See one condenser exchange, you see them all.
    1
  682. You're lucky you didn't break the water bottle.

  683. 0:02 Did you just show a Jaguar in the junk yard? What a shame.
    1
  684. Wife unit 👍
    1
  685. And Troy puts another mark next to Rays name. 🤨
    1
  686. This is why you are a mechanic am I'm not. Nice job.
    1
  687. It's time you put a sign outside that says JEEP SPECIALIST. Another example of Chrysler engineering. ☹🤨 Time to buy a parts washer. What about the wire nuts?
    1
  688. And this guy spent how much for something he could do himself?
    1
  689. Welcome back Ray! So glad you're feeling better. Next time don't hesitate to go to an Urgent Care and get a Z Pack, as soon as you feel a problem coming on. Did Dave manage to pick up the slack? Good to see Lauren is OK and didn't get sick too, because it's always nice to see Lauren. Women is a keeper. You're a lucky man Ray. Question: Doesn't this new pan void the warranty of the car? In case anyone is wondering: "The Lifetime Oil & Filter Program is a scheduled maintenance that includes oil, filter and a multipoint vehicle inspection done by a licensed technician for as long as the customer owns the vehicle. There are several coverages to choose from to fit your driving habits and your vehicles specifications." 🤨😃
