Comments by "William Squires" (@williamsquires3070) on "Rainman Ray's Repairs" channel.

  1. I gave a Rainman Ray experience at the Honda dealership (service center): My car’s TPMS told me that some of the air molecules had left one or more tires, so I filled them with said pressurized air molecules, but the TPMS was still upset. 🥺 So I took it to the dealership where I explained my pained TPMS, and he was courteous and knowledgeable and showed me how to resetting the TPMS calibration thing, so I told him, “You have yourself a great day”. Because… Ray. (and also because courtesy is the lubricant of society, but cuss words and racial slurs are like sand in your engine oil.) I wonder if the guy got the Rainman Ray reference. 😉

  2. Oh Ray, don’t skip the intro, because I’m super glad to be here! 😄

  3. You forgot to do the most important upgrade: setting it on fire🔥! Or in other words, make the internal combustion engine an external combustion engine! An extra “inspection port” in the engine block ought to help, plus a hot engine and a leaky fuel line. Also, don’t forget the “smoke screen” and “oil slick” mods; in no time, you’ll (sort of) be able to do stunts just like on Knight Rider! 😅

  4. Yes, and feed the mama cat; she’s going to need all the energy she can when the little kitties arrive! That, and you might make a kitty friend for life! 💙

  5. On the 5th day of Christmas my true love gave to me: 5 Oh rings! 4 banjo bolts, 3 spark plugs, 2 torque wrenches, And an extra-large can of brake clean!! Have a safe and Merry Christmas, Ray, Wife unit, and little units!! (and everyone else in the shop, too)

  6. Of course, now, the new (black) rear diff cover sticks out like a sore thumb. Time to spray paint the rest of the rear diff case black to match. Color coordination is good. (20:44) - Looks like Ray pranked me again. Okay viewers, let’s be honest. How many of you got this far in the video and thought Ray was going to put a nice, shiny black diff cover onto an old, rusty differential case? 🤣😆😂
    21
  7. While Ray was busy changing the oil, I noticed some sort of rope/twine/fishing-line about to wrap itself around the drive shaft. The tensile strength of that is really high and will ruin your day if it gets caught in the drive line and jammed into a bearing surface (don’t ask how, you don’t want to know the particulars), or if the other end is attached to the frame. Bad day all around! 😢
    20
  8. Ray needs a helper robot that follows him out to the parking lot with spare parts and stuff. Kind of like… R2D2! 😀
    20
  9. “I always test my test equipment.” That’s the testy plan - I approve! 😁
    17
  10. Hint: while fuse box apart, put (fuel pump) relay back in, then jam the connector thingy back on from the underside of the fuse box, making sure it has a tight connection. Then pack with 5-minute epoxy to keep the wire bit in there. Let set for at least an hour, then try continuing-of-Jeep-diagnostic procedure! 😊
    16
  11. Hmmm, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a turbocharged alternator before. More Powah, Scotty! 😀
    16
  12. Don’t forget that it had to be the third Tuesday of the month, and at least one on the techs had to be a werewolf! 😊
    16
  13. Or Texas! 😊
    15
  14. Yeah. Unfortunately, they won’t give you a receipt, or warranty the work, never mind installing a new unit!
    14
  15. Yeah, can you get those from the Snap-On truck?? 🤣😂
    13
  16. There’d be a lot fewer wars and less violence if everyone had a loving spouse unit they respected. Like Lauren! 💙 Lucky Ray. 😅 That, and having employees that are actually useful, and not just the intellectual equivalent of packing peanuts, helps too! Hi Dave! Hi Justin! Don’t let Ray kill himself on the job! 😃 You gotta watch out for each other out there!
    12
  17. Yes, and if you out-clever yourself by covering up the floor drain, it’ll NEVER come out (without a Ray-approved sawzall)!
    11
  18. Remember, extremism - whether to the left or right - is rarely a good idea. That being said, if you’re going to go to the extreme, be extremely good; have a positive attitude, treat people (especially wife units!) with decency and respect, and push the black subscribe button! 😅
    11
  19. Clearly, whoever designed vans back then, should have put in a hydraulic-lift system for the body shell; one push of the button, and the front lifts away to expose the drivetrain (for serviceability) - pushy the other button when done, and the body lowers so you can get said van out of the shop without crunching things! 😎
    11
  20. Hint, hold onto the wobbly, ratcheting unit with the magnet on a stick unit until both in your grubby hands you have. That way, if losing your grippen on the ratcheting unit you do, still have the magnet on a stick unit stuck to it you will! 😊 Yeah! 🎉 Use the Force, Ray!
    10
  21. I hope Ray remembers to put the fan shroud back on… 😅
    10
  22. We can learn a lot from pets, too. Cats & dogs don’t care about money, politics, religion, time management, people’s skin color or gender, or celebrity gossip (or turning wrenches, either.) They just want food, a place to sleep, and someone to care for them. We should take the hint. 😌
    10
  23. We are the YouTube. You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile. You will become one with the shop! 😅😅
    9
  24. Remember eat the gobbly bits, not the wobbly bits! Happy Thanksgiving to everyone ont there watching these Rainman Ray videos, and be thankful that he’s a cool dude who goes out of his way to make these videos for our entertainment and education! Yay! ❤️💕😁
    9
  25. (@1:27) Sorry, Ray, hurricanes most DEFINITELY can blow away those shipping containers! And so can tornadoes! 🌪️ I’ve seen tornadoes lift several ton railcars high in the air; it wouldn’t even break a sweat lifting that storage container!! Mother Nature is not to be underestimated!
    8
  26. Probably a helping of incompetence, with a side of treachery and bad trans fluid for dessert. 😏
    8
  27. Ohhh, nice and SHINY engine! Everyone approve by giving 👍🏼 on the video! 💙
    8
  28. Or maybe “911” is the battery tester saying, “call 911 - this battery is dead, Jim.” 🙂
    8
  29. It runs fine with no dogs, either. 🥲
    7
  30. Hi Ray. Thanks for letting us visit while you work on not working. 😀💙
    7
  31. Ray, give the wife unit a big hug for all she’s done while you were out!! Be da man! 😀😀💙💙
    6
  32. To me, an “engine” turns some sort of fuel into mechanical energy (linear or rotational), while a “motor” turn electricity into mechanical energy, and a “dynamo” (generator or alternator) turns mechanical energy into electricity. Too bad there’s nothing that turns mechanical energy into fuel.
    6
  33. Glad you decided to plan for the new lift to be straight-in; it’ll make work so much better-er! 😍 Just remember to set it back far enough from the wall so you can easily squeeze by a vehicle with a foot or so to spare. Another planny plan! 😏
    6
  34. At end of video, most importantly, don’t forget to remove lumen-producing unit from hood! You’ll need it later! 😊
    6
  35. LOL! 😆
    6
  36. You need to (gently) inform the Wife Unit that - if she’s going to be working in the shop - she needs to learn the proper lingo; even wife units can suffer tool gravity! 😌 Reverse clicks come in handy, too. 🤩
    6
  37. “It’s ‘limited slip’ only until you spill lubricant on the shop floor. Then it’s ’unlimited slip’!” 😅
    6
  38.  @WilliamHollinger2019  - yet. 🙂
    6
  39. While watching Ray put the transmission back on, I couldn’t help but think Ray was going to do his famous camera-smash and say, “end of transmission”! 😊
    6
  40. What, he only doubled it?? That’s mighty generous. 🤣😆
    6
  41. And he’s still a likable ditz, with a cute Wife Unit. 😆
    5
  42. Watch out for littlest units when backing up strange autos. 😌 Just a general public service announcement. 🎺 🎶
    5
  43. Yes, maybe the trolls need extra lubricant. What do they say, “the squeaky wheel gets the oil”? 🤣😆
    5
  44. Yeah, hard water deposits will do that. 😢
    5
  45. Now that lost plastic cap on the A/C service port will lodge itself somewhere with moving engine parts (Murphy’s Law), get crunchied, then seize up the engine. Oh, no! Then Ray will have a come-back. 😢
    5
  46. Ha! An electrical problem diagnosis. Eric O. at SMA would be proud! 😄💙
    4
  47. Yeah, that’s why Ray doesn’t have to worry about vampires; always sunny! 😅
    4
  48. That’s hitting the uncomfortable truth. 🤣😂😆
    4
  49. No, silly. You’re supposed to use brake cleaner on ducks, and duck cleaner on your brakes. Mixed metaphor fail. Words. 🤣😂😆
    4
  50. Sorry, only once per month. He’s already used that procedure on the last customer’s vehicle; it was a real Saab story! 🤣😂😆
    4
  51. I wonder what the Fordtechmakuloco guy would say about this? Yeah! Nothing good, I’ll bet.
    4
  52. Follow-up: truthfully, I just come for the sound effects and funny words. 🤣🤣😂😂
    4
  53. I thought he was torturing a goose. 😆
    4
  54. (@13:27) - “And that’ll end my traffic safety monologue of the day.” To which I add my own; “be in the lane you need to be in, long before you need to be in it.” This way, you don’t panic and pancake yourself under said large truck. 😌
    4
  55. Ho about a mix-up? Put the engine coolant in the transmission, put the transmission fluid in the power steering pump, and put the gas in the oil fill hole. Yeah. 😮
    4
  56. Yes, absolutely send the engine to Eric, the “I do cars” guy. 😅
    4
  57. Ray doesn’t script his videos, that makes this “real” reality TV! Not that fake stuff. 😢
    4
  58. Yeah, it’s like free advice, but more valuable! 😄
    4
  59. Throw in all the Yugos as well. 😉
    4
  60. Remember Ray, this is a family friendly channel. We saw that naughty gesture. 🤣 Victory was sweet! 💙
    4
  61. Hi Ray. Instead of putting on the nut the usual way, why not thread it on to the shaft with the flange-side facing up towards the hydraulic press? More surface area to press against that way. 😊
    3
  62. It’s probably in the best interests of everyone involved if Ray stays away from spinning doodly-doos; they can cause serious injury, pain, and even death in some cases. 🙂
    3
  63. (@2:21) - the “stick shaker” activates, letting Ray know that it’s going to experience an aerodynamic stall and fall from the sky… that, is, if he can get the car airborne in the first place! 🤣😆😂
    3
  64. Someone needs to invent gloves with little magnets built into the fingertips so you can grab things like washers and nuts. 😍
    3
  65. Yeah, that’s why all that stuff comes from China. 😊
    3
  66. I think Acetone will dissolve the foam, but leave the fiberglass alone (but test an eensie-tiny section, first!) it’ll also help clean any glue residue off the fiberglass once you’re done. You’ll need to do this outside, or choke on acetone fumes - bad. 😢
    3
  67. Nah, just consider it incentive to move to warmer climates! 😊
    3
  68. Yeah, where’s the shameless self-promotion of Rainman Ray merch? Where’s the lovely Lauren? Have you hid her in the vault of viscosity again? Okay, just kidding; I don’t think she would fit in there. Hmm. 😊
    3
  69. I’ll second that motion. 😌
    3
  70. (@2:33) - Yeah, the chisel makes a much better socket removal tool! 😀
    3
  71. (@22:54) - “Eat your heart out, I Do Cars!” ROTFL! Yeah, that guy has the WORST luck pulling the dipping sticks out! 😆
    3
  72. (@30:34) - I thought Ray said the “puppy was sparking” 😊 Tell the puppy to quit connecting himself to ground and battery positive! Much less puppy painful that way.
    3
  73. (@20:00 or so) I find the hub bearing jobs de-pressing. 🤣😂 Putting them back in, though, is re-pressing. Or is it, repressive. Oh, well, as long as we get a video out of it. 😌
    3
  74. Yeah, so are skateboards, roller skates, and Lego bricks. 😅
    3
  75. Yeah, that way she can buy you more COFFEE!!
    3
  76. Except this husband unit is in the engine bay trying to avoid flashlight gravity. 😅
    3
  77. (@1:11) the resistance (impedance) of the load (speakers) should match that of the supply (amp). If the two speakers are 2 ohms (each), then series gives you 4 ohms, and parallel gives you 1 ohm. Be sure to wire the two (-) terminals (of the speakers) together and the two (+) terminals together, or it’ll sound like cr*p! 😮
    3
  78. (@0:09) - “It’s a real car.” Nope, it’s a real toy car that’s at 1:1 scale. There’s a difference. 😅
    3
  79. Ha. Hold my beer (er. um. lemonade) The thing I learned is: no matter how clever you are at avoiding removing part “A”, in the end, you still end up having to remove part “A”. Why? Because the enginurds have deemed it to be so. 😆😂🤣 So just save time (and brain cells), and just remove part “A” anyway.
    3
  80. That being said, some people are just angry, abrasive, insecure jerks; don’t hang around those types of persons, even if they do filter themselves… from time to time. 😊
    3
  81. I like nice and shiny and I like good clickages. Thus video has both. 😊
    3
  82. Hi Ray. About those press-fit ball joints, what about heating the steering knuckle in that area with some FIRE! Yeah, fire. Because expanding metal gets hot. No, wait, that’s not it. Hot metal expands. There we go. Language. 😊
    3
  83. Remember, it’s “good German engineering”… until you have to repair it. 😂😆😅🤣
    3
  84. (@47:32) NOOOO…. 😱 if you’re going to drill a hole, be efficient and drill out the old bolt! Then you can install the correct one correctly-like! Much better-er! That way, you know the hole is in the right place, not the left place. 🤣
    3
  85. Yeah, maybe the driver of this said vehicle drove through the SAME high-water crossing that Ray drive through in his lifted pick-em-up truck several videos ago, primarily because he saw Ray drive through said high-water crossing! What are the odds? 😆🤣😝 Reee….!
    3
  86. Yeah, the doodley-doo phone needs to make a comeback! 🤣 Vote yes to doodley-doo phone by replying with a 💙!
    3
  87.  @five0pd310  - Or maybe a broken-off bolt/stud in the engine block… in the hardest-to-reach place!
    3
  88. It’ll turn to rust particles first. 😊
    3
  89. Oh no, it’s a comeback! We’ve seen this Ferrari-bird before!
    2
  90. I think Ray needs a lift kit (a.k.a. step ladder) to get up in the cab. 😊
    2
  91. Well, cutting the ends off the bolts was extra work; if it ever comes down to those bolt ends grinding into the asphalt, then they have a WAYYYY bigger problem!! Like, where are the wheels and rims??!? Or the rear differential??
    2
  92. Vote: do you think Ray should get a “subscribe” sticker and put it on the “green ‘subscribe’ button?” I vote, “aye”!
    2
  93. I’m going to go with, “I. C. Sparks” myself. 😅
    2
  94. Killing aids. 🤬
    2
  95. All too many times! 🤣😆
    2
  96. I think I would seek a way to divert water around the new unit so that it doesn’t become like the old unit. Come-backs displease me. 😉 Maybe put the new unit, and the connector, in a zip-lock baggie and seal it with hot glue or silicone caulk. 😎
    2
  97. Or swung back around and parked in the entrance/exit so Ray couldn’t escape buying new tools! 😅
    2
  98. As Ray would say, “It’s blue, so you know it’s good.” 😁❤️
    2
  99. Trust me, getting the wired keyboard/mouse will save you on batteries… and the aggravation of having them conk out right when you need them most. 🤬
    2
  100. “Ohh, it’s a 5-cylinder”. Now, go get 5 small spark plugs and see if we can turn it into an internal combustion engine.
    2
  101. “It’s like that, but it’s not cherry flavored.” It’s also not filling your body unit with nicotine, either! 😂
    2
  102. Remember: do a stupid thing, get a stupid result. And buying a flood-damaged car, against your own advice, is stupid. Just saying. 😏
    2
  103. Or better yet, get new tire. Deflate old sketchy tire. Use jack and jackstand and Ugga-dugga gun (or tire iron) to remove old sketchy tire. Put new, non-sketchy tire on (don’t forget the lug nuts, please!) Starting vehicle and get away from sketchy old tire as quickly as possible! 😀 Remove hunting rifle from gun rack in truck, then take out the sketchy old tire. Bury sketchy old tire. Have proper ceremony for old sketchy tire that’s lived way past its expiration date. 🤣😆
    2
  104. Or just make the hood and side panels out of LEGO blocks!
    2
  105. Hi Ray. You keep saying the sensor has three 5 volt lines. If it has 4 pins (and the case is not ground), then one of the pins has to be ground, one has to be 5 volts, and another has to be the sensor output line. The remaining pin could be connected to any of the other three, or left open (the vehicle wiring diagram should show you what it is.) So, at most, only two of the pins should be tied to the 5 volt reference from the ECU… unless the sensor is shorted inside (which doesn’t seem to be the case as you’re not getting a code for short/voltage-low.) Since the error codes are for an intermittent problem, I’d start tappy-tapping on the sensor or the wiring harness! 😊 Or look for a bad ground. The other possibility is one of the magnets in the end cap on the camshaft (opposite the sprocket) is either broken, weak, or has broken free of the epoxy used to secure it to the inside of that end cap. Use a small screwdriver and run it around the outside of the end cap; you should feel the magnetic pull - equally spaced - at 4 (or possibly 6 or 8) locations around the perimeter. They should be of equal strength, too. If you have an actual bar magnet handy, hold one end close to the end cap; it should alternate between attraction and repulsion as you go around the perimeter. HTH! 😀
    2
  106. A job is always better when professionals tag-team it. Good job, everyone! ❤
    2
  107. (@20:05) - Doing something stupid comes with the job. Workplace hazards, you know. I hope they recompense you with sufficient hazard pay. 😏
    2
  108. It just hurts my soul directly- no cotter pin needed! 🤣
    2
  109. I hope none of the water sprayed on the AIR FILTER gets sucked into the combustion chamber; it’d be really sh*tty if the engine hydrolocked! 😬 Then we’d get to see how much Ray really loves his job... of throwing in a new engine. 😅
    2
  110. I wonder how many cans of brake cleaner Ray goes through in a year. It probably approaches the national debt. 🤣😆
    2
  111. Ray’s videos are good edu-tainment! 😊
    2
  112. The beautiful wife unit was having too much fun sitting in the new chairs eating snacks! 🤗
    2
  113. The trick to removing those springy clips (including C and E clips) is to put a dab of blu-tak (or possibly also chewed gum) on the side opposite the opening in the clip, once you’ve rotated the clip around to get to the opening in it. Now you can spread the clip ends open without losing it on the shop floor. 😅
    2
  114. Or maybe the next Houdini. After all, Ray makes automotive problems mysteriously disappear. 😌😊
    2
  115. Ray: “Okay, Chrysler people, what am I doing wrong here?” Chrysler people: “You’re working on a Chrysler!” 😆
    2
  116. (3:47) - Look how close the battery terminal is to the refrigeration line valve thingy! Woe be unto the technician who recovers the refrigerant from the electron storage unit! 😬
    2
  117. (@9:39) I was thinking, “no Ray, where’s the brake cleaner?” Then, like magic, brake cleaner appears. Yes! Now, it’s a good video! 💙
    2
  118. When someone designs a pile of poo, then tells me I have to buy 8 of something, I tend to ignore them. After all, if they didn’t have the smarts to do the job (design) right the first time, what makes me think they’ll do the job (sales & service) right the 2nd time, eh? That being said, it probably wouldn’t hurt to check the remaining pushrods by rolling then on a hard, flat surface (like a tablet’s screen); they should roll like oiled ball-bearings on the shop floor when you step on them by accident. 😅
    2
  119. Or, as Ray said on one of his videos awhile back, “glug, glug.”! 💙 Seriously, diesel engines don’t run on water. What we need here is a boat-car… or a lift kit and monster tires taller than that semi that passed. 🙂
    2
  120. Oh, goody! The intro is back! Now I’mm super super glad to be here! 😅
    2
  121. I wonder how many people can stuff themselves into Ray’s shop like sardines. Can one more fit? Ask the Fordtechmakuloco guy to come down for a visit! He specializes in the Furd 5.4L3V. Or ask ARod to get his a** in gear and help out with that purplish Furd! He can’t be just standing around showing off his noisy exhaust! 🤣😂🤣 He’s got to earn those sandwiches, you know.
    2
  122. (@47:07) looks like another motorist needs the services of Rainman Ray!! Look at the vehicle waiting at the light to the right of the intersection. Looks like steam from an overheated engine with no coolant!
    2
  123. Looks like Ray is still fully charged with “good day to you,” and “ I’m super glad to be here”! 😅
    2
  124.  @nashvillecop1  - Yeah, or at least Ray did. Das blinkenlichten ist nicht fur gefingerpoken und mittengrabben!
    2
  125. Yeah, if you enjoy getting 12 gallons to the mile. Gas guzzler; glug, glug. 😅
    2
  126. (@12:35) - Sirens. Police. I wonder if they’ve come to arrest Ray for violating the law of tool gravity one too many times? Maybe? Nah! 😂
    2
  127. Ermmm, no. The UV light doesn’t react to the dye, it’s the other way around; the dye reacts to the UV light (around 390-405 nm wavelength.) Other things will react to the UV light; certain minerals, laser-printer paper, scorpions, etc… 😊 Details, Ray, details.
    2
  128. That being said, the number of women who’ll tolerate being called a “wife unit” is probably VASTLY outnumbered by the number of those who will not.
    2
  129. What we have here is a Furd-powered weed whacker!! Brilliant!
    2
  130. Yeah, and some people have no money or sense. 😏
    2
  131. (@6:57) - ha, another word. Leverage. Some would pronounce it “le vur aj”, and others would say “lee vur aj”! I bet we could really make life difficult for non-English speakers if they had to learn ESL from Rainman Ray! And he could teach auto repair at the same time. Twofer!! 😅
    2
  132. Well, even if it doesn’t add 20 horses, it’ll at least sound like someone shoved 20 horses in there… by brute force. 😊
    2
  133. Okay, but a dead battery on the charger, is still a dead battery. Just because it was on the charger, doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a good battery. Checkining the electrons coming out is good idea, no? 😊
    2
  134.  @cwstout1  - no they won’t, they’ll get stuck in the catalytic converter first! And that’s if they get that far. Likely, they’ll burn up in the combustion chamber, if they can make it past the open intake valves.
    2
  135. Hmmm... Methinks that you should swap the two lifts; that way bigger vehicles can be driven straight in without having to worry about scraping them on your shop door opening, while smaller vehicles can be put on the lift at an angle to the entrance, as they have a smaller turning radius. Common sense. Critical thinking. It’s not just a slogan on a coffee mug, it’s a way to make your job safer and easier! ❤️🤗 Or, you could just rebuild the structure at a 45 degree angle, instead. Then the high capacity lift would be in-line with the door. 😏
    2
  136. The doodley-doo music is Fur Elise by Beethoven. At least it’s not, “la cucaracha”! 😆
    2
  137. Winner, winner, chicken dinner! 😅
    2
  138. Oops, I should clarify: nothing good about the warranty people, not about Ray, or his dedication to his customers. Go Ray! 😀💙💙
    2
  139. Yeah, an hour is just about right. Unless Ray takes to binging on brake cleaner and throws more empty cans around the shop, then maybe an extra 15 minutes may be needed. 😅
    2
  140. It’s a good thing Ray was only trying to remove a seal; if he’d have tried to remove a walrus, there’d be a big problemo!
    2
  141. Hi Ray. Don’t worry about posting more fluid-exchange videos. I doubt you’re anywhere near market saturation yet. 😊 There’s still people out there who need these videos like diabetics need insulin. 😅
    2
  142. The day has not yet come when Ray unintentionally unclicks the wife unit with his wobbly bits. Stay tuned. 😌 This is going to be a very good video.
    2
  143. Expensive cars are a way to reclaim unpaid taxes from the 1%ers! 😀 When said expensive vehicles come into the shop, the money then re-enters the economy through people like Ray, Eric O. At SMA, the Car Wizard, and so on. 😊 Shameless plug there for my fave auto-repair content producers.
    2
  144. I’d check the engine coolant to make sure there’s no forbidden milkshake in there! That might be where the oil was hiding out. 😊
    2
  145. Silly idiots. Instead of burning the orange peels, they should grind them up real fine or compost them, and return them back to the soil. That way, the carbon goes back into new plants where it belongs, and not into the air where it doesn’t belong! 💙 Maybe they could make biodiesel out of them. 🤔
    2
  146. Or maybe BG products are made from real beer and gasoline. 🤔
    2
  147. (@44:35) Did anyone notice something amiss with those coil boots? Hint: one is not the correct color. 😮
    2
  148. Yeah, look at all that oil sludge! Since it doesn’t look like any is dripping down from above the rear main seal, I think it’s safe to conclude there’s a leaky rear main seal! Or walrus! Brake cleaner, please, for the win.
    2
  149. It’s a silvery Silverado. I approve. 😌

  150. (@12:04) Ha, there for a second, I thought Ray was going to put some Sriracha sauce in the gas tank. Yep, that’ll clean out the fuel system, alright! 😆😆🤣
    2
  151. Or, no; the bracket is to protect the belt from the wiring harness. Gotta watch those wiring harnesses, all floppy-flopping around.
    2
  152. Blue water pouring fail. 🙁 Now Ray will have to clean it up with non-blue water! Das ist gut! 😊
    2
  153.  @jsh6952  well, there, you see? We have a place to put the transmission fluid before we do a fluid transfer from the engine coolant overflow tank. Once that’s done, we can take the transmission fluid out of the power steering pump and put it in the master brake cylinder reservoir! 🤣 Or maybe just put it back in the windshield wiper fluid. Either way. 🙂
    2
  154. BTW: what happens if you squeeze all the angry electrons out of the coil pack? Will they end up inside the combustion chamber? Or will they get caught in the dielectric schmoo? Important questions to ponder.

  159. Safety tip: be sure engine is cool before letting leaky fuel gravity get all over it. 😆
    2
  160.  @brianperkins6121  - This seems like a bad idea, as it would trigger the first time you went around a curve (bend) in the road due to the rear wheels turning at a different rate due to the differential (or the front wheels if it’s FWD) 😌
    2
  161. We appreciate your “real life” videos - much more fun than the fake reality TV. Much more fun-ner than watching green paint dry on the grass. 😝

  162. Whoever thought turning perfectly good food-grade corn into ethanol was a good idea, was probably high on gasoline fumes. 🤪 Food is for eating, not putting in your gas tank!
    2
  163. I don’t think I could work in Ray’s shop - I’d be laughing too hard at his witty sayings to get any work done. 😆
    2
  164. (@42:23) - I think I would check to see if the factory lubed the slide pins. Because if they weren’t lubed, that would be bad! 😮
    2
  165. Yeah, and hold your horses, Ray. You said this is not a blind hole; it goes all the way through the engine block. I don’t think those metal shavings from the drilling op are good for the motor oil (shavings gravity.) Maybe vacuuming the chips out would be better than blowing them in, eh? 😅 Good thing Ray has Tap Magic; that should work. 😏 We love you, Ray; keep Subaru-ing!
    2
  166.  @jeffleach2668  well, we probably don’t want the shavings in the engine coolant, either. 🤮

  167. Someone needs to retrofit the fitting by fitting it a more suitable location within the PT Cruiser. Words. 😊

  170. In the next episode, it’s the creature from the black lagoon vs. the white rubber ducky! 😊
    2
  171. Anything over the original 100% is (drum roll, please) spillages! 😅 Or coolant gravity, take your pick.

  172. Two questions to perplex the brain: 1) why does tool gravity exist? and 2) if one wife unit is good, why aren’t two wife units better?
    2
  173. Hmmm, I would have thought there should be a chain tensioner there inside the timing cover for the camshaft chain. It’s probably not supposed to be flapping in the breeze like that! 😮

  177. No, Ray. Sarcasm is a higher form of humor just for the more intelligent species of tool-gravity animals! 😌
    1
  178. Or Ray could just turn the engine over on the stand and empty the nuts that way. 😅
    1
  179. BTW: if you send those old rotors to the guy at Windy Hill Foundry, he (and some occasional helpers) will turn them into new iron castings! Reuse, recycle, then refuse (garbage, that is.) Only one Earth, we have. Strong is the Force. Yoda! 😆
    1
  180. Hint: instead of cutting 2” off, cut 1-3/4” off, then test-fit again. Once you cut too much off, it’s not going back on! Then Ray will have to buy a new intake scoop! Oh, wait, that could be a whole new video! Silly me. 🤣
    1
  181. Of course some of us would watch Ray install an electric fan. That’s why they call us fans, right? Okay, bad dad joke. Or maybe it’s a bad fan joke, no? Okay, I’ll shut up now; there’s only so much bad puns I can take before it’s not punny anymore. <groan>

  182. Maybe they caused a long. A long list of problems, that is! 🤔

  184. How about a wife unit? Or even a child unit. 😌

  185. It was literally a “smoking” gun - good job, Ray! Glad your meter didn’t go nuclear - THAT would be bad!
    1
  186. I still have yet to find the drain plug for the springy-springs. Anyone know how much headlamp fluid to fill the springs with? 🤣😂😆
    1
  187. Yeah, and I noticed Ray made loud noises with his electron ratcheting unit! 😅
    1
  188. I think this roller skate unit is missing some piston rings. And maybe a head gasket or two. 🙁
    1
  189. Someone needs to invent extendable phalanges with a light and bore scope on the end; then you could see in all sorts of confined places, AND be able to manipulate whatever’s there! Ha, that guy would be SO rich! 😊
    1
  190. Hey, maybe you can make a second channel called “Adventures of a man with a trailer”? 😏
    1
  191. Well, I see several problems here. 1) you’re trying to weld two or three different metals. The bolt extractor that broke off (my guess: hardened tool steel), the random nuts (God only knows what those are made of: Walnut? Peanut? Not-that-kind-of-nut? Deeznuts?), and finally the welding wire itself. 2) not much adhesion surface; not much to do about that but get the broken-off bolt extractor out of there, first. 3) the threads are all crud-filled now. If you have an old Philip’s-head screwdriver of a diameter just slightly less than the hole, and with a hardened/carbide-coated tip that you can sacrifice to the gods of car repair, jam the pointy end into the hole so it touches the broken-off bolt extractor, then whale away on the handle end with your impact hammer. The bolt extractor - while hard - is likely also brittle, and the hammering should break it up. Then just blow the chunks out with the air-sault gun! DO NOT use a plastic-handled screwdriver, or serious bodily harm or death may result! 😮
    1
  192. (@11:59) Is one person with two hammers better than two people with one hammer apiece? Bet Ray wishes he know the answer right about now. 😊
    1
  193. (@27:05) Ray said it was the final stage of mock-up. I think Ray meant to say, “it’s the final stage of mockery!” The not-so-great fitment parts are laughing at Ray, but little do they know Ray WILL get them on there, one way or another! Yeah.
    1
  194. If knowledge is power, then knowledge = I^2 x R, which explains why learning hurts; the brain heats up due to power dissipation. 😆😂🤣 So, while failure may be an option, failure to learn should never be an option (except for politicians.)
    1
  195. Yeah, next time tell them, “Because this is going to be a very good video!” and see if they hang up. 😅
    1
  196. Hmmm. Fire. 🔥 I think someone once told me fire makes a better YouTube video. Throw in some welding sparkages and flammable lubricants, and it can’t help but be worthy of a thumbs-up. 👍🏼

  197. Blue, I hope. Blue, so you know it’s good. 😅

  198. Of course, now he’ll get fired. They (auto parts) stores just want people to sell parts, not apply their brainium! That defeats their business model!
    1
  199. According to the wiring diagram, the vehicle is nothing but wires and modules (and a car battery, can’t forget that.) 😀
    1
  200. Well, that’s a cr*p system; what happens when they put it on max heat and turn the fan on max? Now it’ll blow hot air on a hot resisting unit. Then car-be-cue ensues! 😬 Fire 🔥 + Car 🚗 = sadness 😢
    1
  201. If the rear diff is that bad, wonder how much forbidden glitter is in the front diff? 😮
    1
  202. Don’t forget that a lot of what Ray says applies to the Wife Unit as well, as she’s super supportive, super cute, and she has her own YT channel! Let’s give a big “Hurray!” to Lauren! 💙💙😀👏

  203. I give thumbs-up just for good music. Because… Beethoven’s 9th! ❤️

  205. Why was the scan tool trying to save a Windows bitmap (*.bmp) file to the ECU?

  209. New alternating electron production unit; nice and SHINY!! 😄

  210. Pushing those hoses onto that flimsy, plastic air intake thingy seems way sketchy to me. Good way to break said flimsy, plastic air intake thingy. Oh, nooo… That would be bad. 🫣

  212.  @joskd8491  oh yes! Saving $$$ on gas. Not much in the way of cargo space though.
    1
  213. (@17:55) Is that fresh lubricant on the ground? Maybe more servicing is needed. 😅
    1
  214. I had one of those, but without the camper top. It was blue, so you know it was good! 🙂 Eventually, it was traded in for a F150. That lasted 10 years. 😊
    1
  215. It would be ironic if the timing belt were to break whilst moving said vehicle into the service bay. 🙁 Fortune was with Ray this time. 😌
    1
  216. I hope Ray doesn’t ignore the low coolant warning there at the end. Cautionary tale: some pilot ignored his terrain warning system… shortly before hitting mountain. Ouch. His last words were, “hey, what’s this mountain doing up here at 7000 feet?” 😮 (actually, his last words were, “OH SH*T!”, but you get the idea.) 🤣😂

  217.  @beezul  🤣

  219. Another piston McNugget meal coming right up in aisle 2! Super-size it with a side of wrist pins and used motor oil.

  220. “Beware of Mechanic” sign. LOL! 🤣 Now you need a “ Beware of Wife Unit” sign to go along with it. Maybe that’ll make any burglars think twice. 😂

  222. This whole thing is like a Rube Goldberg machine covered in greasy lubricant. 😆
    1
  223. I doth protest your re-installation of the battery terminals good sir! Connecting ze positive battery terminal first. If you connecting ze negative terminal, and the positive terminal goes all flippy-floppy (or, as Dave Jones of EEVBlog fame would say, “flappin’ in the breeze”) it could cause a short and a fireworks display in the vehicle! 😮😬 Other than that, good job - another happy vehicle. 😅
    1
  224. Never mind, I see you’ve negated my negation of your battery terminal procedure. My apologies. 😌
    1
  225. Hi Ray. How about a “No doodle-doo after hours” sign in the shop window, then see how many customers obey it. Because doodle-doo after hours means… more work. 😅
    1
  226. Ray: the driveshaft removal unit. 😅
    1
  227. I’d be worried the thing will break if you hit a deep pothole on the passenger side, then the front end could slam down and turn that plastic air intake into broken wobbly bits. Then it won’t work very well as an air intake. And that would be bad. 😏
    1
  228. The other problem can occur if the person at the service counter takes the returned part, lays it on the counter as he gives the customer a refund, then rushes to the restroom to take care of nature. Then the store manager comes by, sees the part (box) just lying there on the desk with no explanation, and puts it back in inventory, then goes back to work. Then the service desk guy gets back from the restroom, looks briefly for the box, then figures maybe the boss tossed it in the trash. Then, lacking sufficient intellectual curiosity (or monetary incentive), just gives up and continues on with his day, not giving a flip about where the part went. Years later, Rainman Ray orders that part and, blammo! Now there’s a big problem! 😮
    1
  229. I wonder where Ray got the idea for a manual shift transmission with 3 reverse gears? Can you imagine going down the road - in reverse - at 60 mph?? Sick! 🤣😆😝
    1
  230. I wonder if this is what the inside of Optimus Prime looks like? 😅
    1
  231. (@ around 20:26 or so) Yeah, and if you get rid of (or defund) the Police, then organized crime will just take its place. And if you thought there were problems with racist police, just wait till you deal with crime bosses. 😮
    1
  232. (@1:20 or so) This reminds me of the old warning, “lift with your legs, not your back.” ! 😆
    1
  233. Okay, but doesn’t putting the dielectric grease in the end of the boot cause it to get all over the little metal nubbin on the non-business-end of the spark plug, thus decreasing its ability to deliver sparkage into the combustion chamber? The whole point of a dielectric is to not conduct sparkage (a.k.a angry pixies).
    1
  234. I hope you slew the troll with a magic +1 torque-wrench of tightening. 🤣😆

  235. Wow. I don’t even remember the last time I saw a timing light. Must have been back in the Flintstone days. 😊
    1
  236. Good Sir, it’s always a good idea to call out scammers, whether they’re at a dealership, or on the phone. Scammers = bad. 😢 Just make sure to record the proof in case it’s needed in court! Remember, it’s not libel or slander if it’s true! 😅 By calling them out, you expose their dark nefarious dealings to the light of day! 😊
    1
  237. I see someone used the patented “binder clip on a timing gear” trick. 😆
    1
  238. Your bird-shaped floor cleaning device needs some work; inefficient design. 🤣

  239. Thanks. I always wondered why grocery cart wheels wobbled so much. I figured someone just used cheap casters when they made them. Now I know they should have used motorcycle-type wheels instead. 😆🤣😂
    1
  240. If that really is a transistor, then it’s likely an NPN transistor; the emitter is tied to ground through the black wire, the base is connected to a module through the lt. green wire, and the collector is tied to the load (blower motor) through the blue wire. Then the other side of the motor probably goes to the battery + terminal through a fuse somewhere, possibly also in that same module. This is what we electronics geeks call, “a low-side driver.” 😅 This isn’t to be confused with a “drunk driver”!! 😆

  244. The enemy of the trifecta of customer service is intermittent random problem bullsh*t. Because those are always the worst. 😢 In the TV repair business, we used to call those “tough dog” sets.

  246. At the end. Let’s see. Electrical cord on wet floor. Nah, that should be okay. As long as the cord isn’t frayed and worn. 🙂
    1
  247. (@38:59) - Ummm, shouldn’t that long axle assemblage thingy be covered in lubricant? That thing was bone dry. 😢 Finally, at the end of the video, is that diff case CRACKED?? Very unhappyages! Bad! 😭 Oh yeah. And Ray forgot to close out the video properly by saying, “end of transmission.” 😆 Your viewers notice these sort of things, Ray. 😊

  256. (@17:13) Whoa there, horsey! Someone forgot to put silicone glube (portmanteau of “gloop” and “lube” - words) in the sparking plug boots to keep the sparkages in the plug! Oh, no! Do over. “I love my job so much, I do it twice!” 🤗

  259. As for “Protected Lefts”, it varies. Here in San Antonio, TX, the usual varieties are the ones that let the turning lanes go first, then the straight-through lanes go (normal green light.) But there are also some where the protected left will turn from solid green (you now have the right-of-way to turn left), to blinking yellow (you can turn left if it’s safe to do so, but the oncoming lanes have right-of-way, then red. There may even be ones that let the straight-through lanes go first.
    1
  260. Fingers need to come with their own borescope cam and flashlight! 😀
    1
  261. A little JB Weld and that camshaft will be good as new! 😆🤣😝 Not! Yeah, I don’t think I’ve seen a broken cam except in blown-up racing engines. And I don’t recall any on the “I Do Cars” YT channel, either, and most of those engines he’s torn down really took a crap!
    1
  262. Okay, silly boy. Knowing the short was drawing 25-30 amps or so - way more than the meter or the test leads were meant for - why did you not use a ClampMeter the second time? Also, I would treat the entire wire loom as faulty, and possibly the wiring in the fuse box as well. Safety, you know. 💙
    1
  263.  @RainmanRaysRepairs  - Yeah, but the test leads don’t. Or maybe the test leads ARE the fuse! 😆
    1
  264. Nope, that’s the new air-water heat-exchanger! 😏
    1
  265. Nope. Ray forgot to paint the front diff cover. Gotta be consistent! Happiness follows. Shiny Jeep. 😆
    1
  266. Rats!!! I wanted to know how to rotate only 1/2 of a tire. That was going to be an awesome video! 😂🤣😆
    1
  267. Well, that doesn’t look like water damage to me. It looks like a scrape against a yellow bollard or maybe a bicycle, or the vehicle was yellow at one time, then later painted black, and suffered a side impact with another vehicle or a concrete K-beam, exposing the old, yellow paint.
    1
  268. Ray, you need to connect your scan tool to the naughty dog; probably has a stored DTC. 🤣😆

  274. (@10:27) - okay, but don’t take any top secret information to Mar-a-lago, or the FBI will be the next thing to show up at your shop, and not for an oil change or brake job, if you know what I mean... 🤔

  275. The vehicle now has “shiny” carb! Nice! 💙

  281. I think Ray needs an automatic gate-opening Dave unit! 😂
    1
  282. Success is just failure that happened too many times. 😂
    1
  283. Addendum; there could be an internal pull-up resistors from the sensor output line to the 5 volt line. In which case, a resistance measurement should prove that out at the connector on the sensor. So if you have one ground, and two 5 volt lines, the sensor is a reed switch wired from ground to the output pin, then a resistor from the output pin to the 5 volt line (a Hall-effect sensor generally doesn’t need a pull-up resistor, and would have only 3 lines) with the sensor out of the vehicle, the reed switch is open, and the resistance from ground to the output line should register as open, while the resistance from the output pin to the 5 volt line could be anywhere from about 20 to 500 ohms or so. With the sensor in the engine, the camshaft should eventually rotate around until one of the magnets closes the reed switch; then the voltage on the output pin will be 0. Or you could bring a magnet from your flashlight near the business end of the sensor.

  284. But is it less than buying a new/used vehicle?
    1
  285. Hmmm. This business of making sparkages near power-steering fluid soaked paper towels seems super sketchy to me. 😅
    1
  286.  @Asto508  - Even simpler, since people conflate “engine” and “motor” anyway, the solution is to say that they’re “a device which turns non-mechanical energy into mechanical (kinetic) energy, either linear or rotational.” 😉

  287. (@19:27) it looks like Ray is flipping the bird. Watch it, Ray, children units might be watching the video. 🤔

  288. Okay, I detect a Ray-unit logic failure here. Why buy a new scan tool that’ll require a subscription to work, when you can renew the subscription on the old unit that you’ve had for years. Reee! 😅 Unless, of course, you can get a better scan tool with a lower subscription rate! Then, it’s a logic success instead. Yay. 🎉🎉

  296. Now, if we could just get certain persons (whom I shall not name) to realize this applies to specialists in pretty much all professions, including teachers (and especially History teachers.) Yes, you unnamed persons, you know who you are. Because if you cherry-pick only the good bits, the bad bits will sneak up on you and kick your (figurative) rear. Reality will not be mocked or ignored. It may even do so to people who’s silvery rados are not silver! 🤣😂 Because, that’s definitely mocking reality… or at least General Motors. 😏

  301. One thing to consider (after removing the remains of the bolt extractor) is: fill it with weld bead, then file and sand down as flush with the machined surface as possible. Then use some of the black RTV sealant around the perimeter (especially where the filled bolt hole is), and reinstall the water pump with the remaining good bolts, making sure to torque to spec. Keeping the coolant IN the engine is much more important-er than how neat the repair looks! 😅

  302. Words. The question isn’t, “Can the plane take off?”, it should be, “will the plane take off?” And the answer is no. The airplane needs enough KIAS (Knots Indicated Air Speed) to reach V1 (the point at which it’s unsafe to abort the takeoff). At V2 (a bit later), the pilot pulls back on the yoke/stick to achieve flight. The answer to the first question is yes, if the pilot increases thrust by revving the engines to a higher RPM (assuming they don’t run out of tarmac first!) That is, to say, from the POV of a stationary observer on the ground (for example, in the ATC tower), the airplane has to move forward (in the direction of the nose of the aircraft) relative to him/herself - the wheels aren’t powered like a car/truck - at sufficient velocity to achieve lift (upward force) exceeding it’s takeoff weight. Lots of words. 😂

  303. Hi Ray. Don’t be part of the problem; be ALL of the problem solution! Yeah! 🎉

  304. It could also be an issue with rodentia eating things that aren’t meant for rodent consumption (i.e. wires)! 😏

  308. “You relocated it to where it’s lost.” Yeah. Been there, done that. WAY too many times. 🙄

  309. Never connect the negative and positive battery terminal at the same time; sparkages will occur! 💥 Connect the negative to the negative, and the positive to the positive. Much better-er! Words. 😁

  310. (@47:40 or so) - Skynet was in the Terminator movies, not “The Matrix.” Sorry. Fail. Please go back to greasing shiny things. Or making greasy things shiny. That’s what the viewers like. Shiny. 👍🏼

  311. Ray: “what is problem?” Answer; hose is serpentine, but the exit path is not. 😢 More automotive repair wisdom. 😅

  312. Yeah, those tires have to go! No honks for safety with those. 😢

  315. Powder coating is a lot more durable than people give it credit for… if it’s done correctly. 😅

  316. (@16:14) - When blowing in one hole isn’t enough, blowing in two holes must be better. 🤔

  319. One of these days, you’ll need a scan tool to open the tailgate unit. Caution: the scan tool does not fix wife units! 😆
    1
  320. You know, it would be handy if the electronical car-talking-to unit (OBD2 scanner) could “starting the engine”! Also a handy, “EMERGENCY STOP” button. You know, in case pieces start flying off. 😮

  321. The entire vehicle is excess to requirements. The scrapyard has the perfect tool for releasing all the parts; the industrial car-shredder. 🤣

  323. Remember to have a nice and shiny day! 😄
    1
  324. “Click it or ticket.” Either Ray went to Texas, or Texas came to Florida! 😊
    1
  325. I’d give Ray two thumbs-up for giving Eric O. Proper credit for the sound bite, but YouTube allows me to give only one. So given. 👍

  326. Two caveats: You’ve wasted your time if: 1) you didn’t learn anything, or 2) you’re playing Solitaire on the ECM computer. 🤣😂😆

  327. Ohhh, everyone needs lots of cans of brake parts cleaner! Shiny! 😌😂

  328. “Everyone does it once.” Well, unless someone is smart enough to learn from other people’s painful mistakes! And, personally, I think that’s the best kind of learning; the kind that doesn’t smash/cut one’s fingers! Because I find that uninsured fingers come in handy. ❤️

  331. Looks like the hamster and the motor are fighting for control of the blower cage. Hmmm. I predict a gory, messy outcome. Not good. 😮
    1
  332. A missing engine will cause misfire codes. Ha! 😅 Yeah, I’d like to see Ray poppen ze hood and find no engine - just broken pieces held together with bailing wire and duct tape! How many DTC codes will that generate - all of them?
    1
  333. “I can’t get the truck straight because there’s a pole in the way.” Answer: SUPER LARGE chain saw! We don’t need no stinking pole! 😂

  334. Yes. Helping each other in need is the Christian thing to do. It helps push back the relentless tide of evil and bad news. 😊

  335. (@3:15) Your sparkly brilliance was just too great, good sir! We couldn’t see what was going on. On the positive side, our eyeballs were spared the damage from UV! 😆
    1
  336. The missing solenoid-screen disturbs me greatly (“I feel a disturbance in the Force”) - either: 1) the screen is now circulating through the engine somewhere, 2) the screen is stuck in the hole the solenoid was removed from, or 3) some ding-a-ling didn’t install the screen when the solenoid was manufactured.
    1
  337. How about just cutting the oil pan in two, then weld it back later. 🙂 or angry pliers. 😆
    1
  338.  @russellstyles5381  - Yes. Failing to plan is planning to fail. Then you have a no planny plan. 😢 sadness ensues.

  339. (@8:09) I hope Ray isn’t putting diesel fuel in that… 😢 Because the container does say, “Diesel” on it. Oh, no….
    1
  340. (@46:00 or so) We’re all unique little creatures… except the accountants, they’re fungible. And that’s today’s word: “fungible”: Adj. (of a product or commodity) replaceable with another identical item. Mutually interchangeable. Learning moment.
    1
  341. No, first you have to poppen the hood, then you can remove the radiator cap… but not if the engine is hot! Otherwise, nasty burn occurs!

  342.  @jaykellett2327  - Or self-expanding urethane foam. 😬

  343. I didn’t see Ray test the headlights. 😢

  345. His bottle jack sounds like someone’s rubber ducky got stepped on. 🤣😂
    1
  346. Okay, but when you put the transmission cooler lines back on after the fluid exchange, won’t air bubbles get stuck in the system, since some fluid drained out before you could reattach them to the inter-cooler assembly?

  347. The little girl (child unit) looks just like my sister did when she was that age. 😌👍🏼

  348. Hmmm. Big shiny truck. Yay! 😄💙💙

  349. No!! Ray didn’t give two honks for safety when backing out the blue-mobile! Now the video is ruined. 😢 yeah, right. 😀
    1
  350. Sometimes, I wish I could just go to Florida and work a day in Ray’s shop wrenching on random vehicles, just so I could witness if tool gravity exceeds Earth normal. 😂 Also would like to find the mythical manual transmission with three reverse gears as shown on the sign there on the wall. 😆 Because going down the road at 60 MPH in reverse would be totally sick! 😆😝
    1
  351. Yeah, don’t let so e angry, frustrated white guy tell you what you can’t do, let a happy white dude show you what you can do! Much better-er! 😅
    1
  352. The method of testing by driving through puddles doesn’t seem very safe. Puddles + speed + tires = hydroplaning. And that can lead to “wreckedcaritis.” 😩
    1
  353. Actually, Ray, I think the scammers belong under the skid-steer loader! 😅
    1
  354. Or, as Eric O. would say, “It’s got the big three point oh!” 😉
    1
  355. This dirty Jeep needs a dirtymax!
    1
  356. Or, as my Grandpa would say, “In with the out, old with the new”. No, wait, that’s not it. It was, “in with the old, out with the new”. Nope, fail! It was, “In with the new, old with the out.’ Yeah, that’s it! I win. 🤣😂 Okay, maybe my Grandfather didn’t say that, but - surely - someone’s grandfather did! Just like somewhere in the world, it’s beer-30. Or maybe it was wine-30. Yeah, I’ll go with that. 😊
    1
  357. Yeah, troll them, Ray! 🤗
    1
  358. (@9:49) - nope, that can belongs on the floor on the other side of the shop, along with a hearty, “ANOTHER”! Now, you’re going to lie awake at night wondering why you didn’t throw it correctly the first time. Conscience. 😂
    1
  359. Your other trailer crank mechanism thingy needs more lubricant! 😌
    1
  360. It’s amazing how many random fluids there are that need a “random fluid” extraction unit!
    1
  361. I think Ray forgot something after exiting his diesel-powered power-generating monstrosity. Like, maybe closing the hood? Reeee…! 😊
    1
  362. Star Wars day: Use the Force (of the torque wrench), Ray! 😏
    1
  363. Remember, pry bars are useful… until you rupture a copper tubing full of hot lubricant… that you then have to fix. Ouch. 😏
    1
  364. Some people will call it “cheating”; others call it “being more efficient-er!” My take on this is you get to charge the full hours the first time you (personally) discover a shortcut that works; after that, you have to either do it the non-cheating way, or charge the lower labor cost for the shorter time taken. BTW: I’ve found through experience that taking shortcuts may save time initially, but you lose the time later putting the part(s) back in, especially if a bolt/stud breaks off in the engine block. 😭
    1
  365. I’m waiting for the day Ray gets one of those new “gender-fluid” cars in his shop. Then the car may ask for male 5W30, or female 5W30, or maybe both… or neither. 🤯
    1
  366. (@21:04) - Ray invents a new type of turn-signal clicky device. 😂
    1
  367. Okay, Ray, but to use your own words, “just because you found A problem, doesn’t mean you found THE problem.” In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if more of those wires were about to fail in the same manner. 😮 Reeee…!! 😏
    1
  368. Hmmm. I don’t think I like this idea of putting dielectric grease in the spark plug boot. “Dielectric” means insulator (angry pixies can’t get through), but the whole point is to get the sparkage from the coil into the combustion chamber via the spark plug so the angry pixies can ignite the gasoline. This seems to be a conflict of interest, here. Maybe putting the dielectric grease on the outside of the spark plug except for the nubbin, then put the boot on? Yeah, I know, too much AvE. 😌
    1
  369. “Some people pay for this sound”. Yeah, the same dum-dums that later pay for hearing aids because they ruined their noise-detection organs! 😂
    1
  370. Yep, had a “died while driving” condition a long time ago in a galaxy far away. Was driving from Stephenville, TX back home from a trip when I ran over a bump and a loose nut came off the starter motor (or solenoid) and it cut power completely when the wire jostled loose. ‘83 model Pontiac Firebird. Fortunately, not much traffic and I coasted to the side of the road, and a cop showed up, and called a tow truck for me. Shop diagnosed the problem and replaced the nut. Total charge: $6. I was relieved it wasn’t something major! Whew! 😌
    1
  371. (@10:09) - Just imagine how aggravating it would be if you had to get the Autel out to reprogram your electron ratcheting unit every time you change the battery. 🤬 Support right-to-repair, or this will happen. More expensive tools to fix other expensive tools (which are ONLY available at the dealership!)
    1
  372. (@29:05) - Ah, the “wobbly hose trick” strikes again! So it really does work like in the cartoons - LOL! 🤣

  373. Looks like Ray is having too much fun at the beginning of the video. I think he found a new way to start the ol’ BBQ grill! 😅

  374. In my case, it’s “the more I learn, the more sh*t I forget.” 😝
    1
  375. Yeah, if those lifters let go, there’s going to be danger in the combustion chamber! 😬
    1
  376. (6:18) pouring fail. 😂 More pouring required, call in the big guns.
    1
  377. Hi Ray. It doesn’t make sense to deck only the heads without also decking the mating surfaces on the engine block; that’s like doing only half the job. Also, I wouldn’t be surprised if the main bearings are down to copper as well.
    1
  378. The hardest part of servicing any engine is getting the effing dipstick (me) out of the way. 😆🤣
    1
  379. The wall unit needs to be positioned further back from any large truck unit. 😅
    1
  380. Why can’t you move the shelving units in front of the straight-in car lifting unit over to the left closer to the angled car lifting unit? Then you’ll have more maneuvering room! Your working space should NOT be tight as a tiger! 😊
    1
  381. Maybe one day, some bright bulb will come up with the idea of mounting the alternator on top of the engine. Where it’s easier to get to. Then some other bright bulb will come up with the idea of using a proprietary “security” screw to hold it there. Gain some, lose some. 🤣
    1
  382. No seagulls were harmed in the making of this video. Public service announcement. 😌
    1
  383. There at the end, the camera isn’t supposed to part of the wheel-turny thing. Just sayin’.
    1
  384. One day they’ll have coil plugs; spark plugs with the coil already built in. Yeah. 👍🏼
    1
  385. It’s another little red roller skate. Just like a Miata. 😌

  386.  @redhat_maveric3633  - It is if you’re a large/tall person. Then the 454 won’t do you a lot of good. 😢

  387. Don’t forget to fire the parts cannon at the old crain-brainium; if it’s not working, all other diagnostic procedures will fail… epically! 😆

  388. I like how you left the rubber ducky out so it can see the world go by. The ducky should be happy, now. 🦆=❤

  389. Ohhh, a shout-out to Project Farm. This is why YT is my fave social media! 🤠
    1
  390. Next time, maybe Ray should put a portable lumen-producing unit near the entrance door… just in case the power is out. 😂
    1
  391. (@53:38) you can just see the spray bottle of snake-oil on top of the coolant reservoir before Ray un-poppens the hood! Ree! 😅
    1
  392. Maybe if you borrow some electrons from the vehicle’s electron storage device next time. 😌
    1
  393. That’s because it’s, “unpoppening ze hood.” 🤣😆
    1
  394. Darn you!! I reached out to grab the fluorescent tube as it was about to fall, then realized that Ray was pranking people. 🤣😂
    1
  395. Don’t forget to check the electrons coming from the electron storage unit (battery); they should be nice and shiny, like little ball bearings, not green and crusty. 😅

  396. I just hope he doesn’t have an argument with himself resulting in him firing himself from his own job on the first day. 🎃

  397. Wow, you caught that turbo just in time. Otherwise your truck would have done a spectacular imitation of a G.E. Railroad locomotive; they’re famous for losing their turbos, with 5 foot high flames shooting out of the exhaust! 😮
    1
  398. There’s an easier way to open that oil filter, Ray. Martial Arts! Hee-Yah! That oil filter doesn’t stand a chance against someone with a black belt in oil filter opening! 😂
    1
  399. Transmission linking up in outer space, but outer space refused the collect call. 🤣😆
    1
  400. So, they’re cat-phishing for spearfish. Yeah. I’ll tell them to go deep-sea phishing next time! 🤣😝😆
    1
  401. Ray says it’s a lazy sensor. Try setting off a loud alarm clock next to it; maybe that’ll wake it up! 😅
    1
  402. Yeah, I don’t get the whole “lifted” vehicle thing. Yeah, the body may be way high up, but your clearance is still limited by the front/rear differential! And who wants to carry around a stepladder just to get in/out of said vehicle? Finally, this just raises the center of gravity, making the vehicle more likely to tip over. Lose. Big fail. 😣 Or maybe, someone means “lifted”, as in, “stolen”. Yeah, I can see some moronic thief carrying around a stepladder just to steal this thing. Well, just hide one of those Apple AirTags in a super secret place where no one will EVER think to look for it. Like, under an intake valve. The thief will get a BIG surprise when he lifts the vehicle then! 🤣🤣😆😆 There’ll be some REAL malice in the combustion palace then!
    1
  403. Ohhh, looks like Ray has a new phaser. A blue phaser! Blue, so you know it’s good! 🤩 Refrigerant on stun! Bzzzap!
    1
  404. That was super sketchy. Urk! 😬 Heavy weights on a ramp can cause load gravity and squash anything beneath them.
    1
  405. (@36:56) - Thanks, Ray, I would never have noticed the little hole and would have promptly installed it the wrong way! Gaaaa!! 😬
    1
  406. When all else fails, remove vehicle from bad part. Then replace with shiny new part. Put vehicle back on new, shiny part. 🤣
    1
  407. “Americans like stuff made in America.” But they want them to cost what they would, made in China. Hmm… 😊 The zero drive ratchet lacks any ratcheting noises, so can it really be considered a “ratchet”? It’s gold, so you know it’s good. 😂
    1
  408. (@4:05) - I’d go with a machine bolt, lock washer, and nylock nut. Reuse, recycle, then refuse. 😏

  409. Is it possible to formulate a non-planny plan, or is that an oxymoron? Or just moronic? 😮😅😂
    1
  410. Yeah, the crooks read the message and figured the stereo was JUNK. 😊
    1
  411. (@4:17) - sheesh. Why don’t they just hold that on with Velcro? No one appreciates their fingers covered in sticky, black goop. 🤬 Vehicle designers should have to do a complete teardown and rebuild of the 1st production model off the assembly line. This way, they can get a proper perspective (the Rainman Ray perspective) of car repair. 👍❤️😅
    1
  412. Well, a pick-em-up truck is a rather expensive hand warmer for cold days, I think! 😊
    1
  413. Hi Ray. Won’t the dipping stick for the tranny get too hot next to that exhaust pipe? Also, don’t put body parts near spinny metal things. 😅
    1
  414. Is a “non-Jeep” Jeep like a no-plan plan? 🙃
    1
  415. I wonder if it could be a torque converter problem? If the RPMs from the engine device don’t make it to the transmission device, then the miniature people moving device won’t move very well now, will it? No! 😊

  416. (@22:53) Ray does it the Flintstones way! Yeah! 😆

  417. Yay, another silver Silverado! I approve! 😀😀😀

  419. You instantly know that Furd didn’t want this thing wandering too far from home when they give it an odometer with only 5 digits for miles (and one for tenths); they expected it to end up at a scrapyard before 99,999.9 miles! 😬
    1
  420.  @BillMalcolm-tn3kq  - maybe, but I would think that if the owner wanted it to look like a Shelby Cobra, he/she would also have sought out the appropriate gauge cluster, seats, etc… Obviously, without a real Shelby (not a picture on the Internet), I have nothing to compare it to.

  421. (@29:28 or so) Beautiful Wife unit photobombs Ray! 🤣😂😆 It’s a Wife unit thing. Don’t try to understand it; just go with the flow.

  422. Greetings, good sir. You’ve won a lifetime subscription to do-de-do! Answer the phone!! 😂
    1
  423. (At around 51:28) - a sacrifice to the gods of zip ties seems appropriate, here. A nice zip tie around both metal pipe bits should hold them together as you shove them back in place. The easy part is cutting off the zip tie once you’re done. You can thank me later. 😏

  425. What!?! How dare that GMC hang out in Chevy country! 🤣😆 (And do identity theft and pretend to be Chevy thunder.) 😏

  426. I see the angry pixies leaked out of the alternator again. That’s why there were no angry pixies in the “angry pixie storage box” (a.k.a. battery). 😏

  429. Things to not do in shop: 1) Don’t take Jeeps as trade-ins. 2) Don’t weld on rusty, old jeeps with leaky fuel tanks. 3) Don’t weld on leaky fuel tanks. 4) Don’t annoy the wife unit…. YOU’LL BE SORRY!! 5) Don’t hammer on thumb. 😝 Things TO do in shop: 1) Use brain instead of a**. 2) Pay attention to the littlest unit - they’re not replaceable, nor will the dealership take them for trade-in. 3) Treat your employees (and Wife unit) with decency and respect (oh, and paying them helps, too.) 4) If you’re tired, take a break instead of breaking the thing you’re working on, or you might be doing it twice! 5) Catch the falling nuts, flashlights, etc… before gravity gets them. 😌 6) Know when the customer is wrong (i.e. a karen). 7) (biggest one!) if you’re wrong, own up to it. Any others?

  430. Maybe if you spritz the hot parts with something cool, like brake cleaner, the hot parts will be less hot AND less dirty! Double win - cha-ching!
    1
  431. The problem with watching these videos is it makes people want to go buy tools. But the problem therein, is that you then have to buy tools for the tools. The cycle never ends… until you run out of storage space… or file bankruptcy. Evil thoughts for evil people. 😆🤣
    1
  432. For those arguing about whether it removes heat or adds cold, ask yourself the question; if the cabin is nice and cool, does it really matter? A difference which makes no difference is no difference. Let the mechanic boy worry about the magic voodoo! 😅
    1
  433. Sixteen sparking plugs is too many unless you have a 16 cylinder engine. 😊
    1
  434. As with most things in life, there’s no magic silver bullet. On one hand, the shop has to be in the black so they can pay their wages, and other expenses, and still have some $$$ left over to roll back into the business. On the other, the customers want to save money, or they want to be sure that the shop uses Ford/Motorcraft parts for their F150 (or likewise for Dodge and Mopar, etc…). They don’t want some off-brand part that might not be covered under warranty. And then - on the third hand - you get customers who think “parts is parts”. It’s a spark plug, how complicated can that be? (and who obviously doesn’t watch this channel, or SMA). Oh, wait, that’s three hands. Hmmm. Ray has only two hands. Problemo here! 🤣
    1
  435. I hope Ray doesn’t have to return the bad fan-spinning unit for a core charge; I’d like to see him take it apart and determine if it was just the low-speed fan that went bad, or the control unit module thingy. 😊
    1
  436. I wonder if the customer would notice if you replace the Ford unit with a Toyota unit (with a working A/C, of course)? 🤣😆😂
    1
  437. Maybe the “snake oil” products could be replaced with Dove dishwasher soap? It’s blue, so you know it’s good. 😅 It’s also safe around wife units! End of semi-sarcastic rant. 😊
    1
  438. Every tool is a hammer... until it breaks. 😬
    1
  439. I doubt they want that rusty old caliper back for the core charge; nothing to work with but rust! Yeehaw! 🤠
    1
  440. (@1:56) - yep, totally agree; that describes most politicians. They say utter rubbish which even a 4 yr. old could debunk, talk trash, and have no experience in the field(s) they’re maligning. Oh, and they keep ignoring reality. That’s just asking for tool gravity! (Where they’re the “tool”.) 😆😂🤣 Reality is it’s own punishment. So is leaky lubricant. Have yourselves a great day!

  441. Who here watches these videos, then wonders if their car parts are ratcheted and clicked properly to torque specifications? 😅

  442. Ummm, did someone forget to plug up the intake so dirt won’t get in? Maybe? 😌 Okay, better late than never. 😏
    1
  443. Is this a new meme: “reusing jam nuts damages my soul”? 😉
    1
  444. But one may ask: what do we have independence from? Yes, it’s true the U.S. of A. is not a British colony, but have we really freed ourselves? Are we free when SCOTUS is not elected by the people? Are we free when politicians jury-rig (gerrymander) the voting districts, so only their side wins? Are we free when any dumbbell can buy a gun and shoot up schools, places of worship, eating establishments, concerts, or sporting events? Are we free when certain persons (who shan’t be named) decide to cherry-pick the bits of history they want to teach our children, instead of teaching the good AND the ugly bits? Are we free when (shall we say, “non-standard”) people are marginalized and treated like dirt (or criminals)? How is any of this remotely “freedom”? You don’t have to answer me; just answer to yourselves, your own souls, truthfully. That’s all I ask. That, and to have yourselves a great day! 😌

  447. Good wishes for Troy! 👍🏼
    1
  448. (@30:21) - I noticed some loose balls which gave rise to an evil idea; load the steel balls into the air rifle, them shoot them into the bearing race. See how many people run out of the shop in abject terror. Because… EVIL! 😉
    1
  449. Oh no, Ray is malfunctioning; he didn’t make the “powering down” sound there at the end. Maybe a misfire. Better check his plugs and wires. 😄
    1
  450. Take the compressor apart - I wanna see me some destroyed bearings. 😏😅
    1
  451. A little superglue and baking soda will solve that leak. 🤣🤣 Or maybe some hi-temp silicone caulk. Yeah. 😅 Okay folks, don’t try this at home.
    1
  452. (@5:11) - yeah, that’s what I call, “the jiggly bits!”
    1
  453. What if you put the tools in the fuel tank? Or the fuel in the toolbox? Then one of them is excess to requirements and can be removed. Ta-daa! Instant space! 🤔
    1
  454. Uh, Ray. Making metal nice and shiny again isn’t boring; it’s “cosmetic restoration”! 😀
    1
  455. (@29:08) - I spy a problem. The Banks “Ram air” horn (on the air filter box) is supposed to fit in the black thingy, but the black thingy has two squarish protrusions which are for aligning the horn, but the horn has a key which is stuck under one of the projections, not in between them. That’s probably going to cause a small leak which could throw off the MAF sensor, and thus the ECM. 😢 let’s see if Ray finds the mistake before the end of the video. 🤔
    1
  456. The bit with the lok-tite sadly reminds me of a certain person (who shall not be named, and is no longer employed by the company I work for) that thought it was a good idea to put said adhesive in a motor bearing for a large printing press. Needless to say, the motor did not survive the… experiment in improper lubrication. 😬
    1
  457. (@10:50) - Well, there’s your problem! The wiring diagram shows a fuse just sticking there flapping in the breeze. A dashed wire is going into the fuse from the bottom, but there’s no corresponding wire leaving the fuse from the top (or vice versa.) So, either the electrons can’t enter the fuse, or they can’t leave. This produces frustrated electrons, which then buzz around like angry bees, thus making the strange noise from the relay box! 🤣😂😆
    1
  458. (@24:00) Polyethylene glycol in antifreeze isn’t good for you in liquid form, so dried-up, dusty antifreeze is probably equally nasty in the lungs. Proper respirator needed here, or you’ll violate rule #1 - don’t die on the job! Yeah, two honks for safety! 🎉🎉
    1
  459. Oooooh, CheeseIts! ❤️🤗
    1
  460. Yeah. Don’t you just hate it when they put the right part in the wrong box? Or the wrong part in the right box? Or - even worse - the wrong part in the wrong box? Or the right part in the right box… on the wrong day? Booyah! 😑 They might as well put random parts in random boxes if this is how important they view their job. 🤮
    1
  461. Yeah, it ties together with Ray working to retrieve tools and parts lost to gravity! 😀
    1
  462. How did that can of red paint end up in there? That would have been BAD! Seriously bad! 😱
    1
  463. I wish I could give Ray and the I Do Cars guy 1000 likes!! 💙 It may not be the “business” thing to do, but it is the Human thing to do. 😅
    1
  464. Well, Ray could completely disassemble said Jeep, then reassemble it in the parking lot, then it’ll be a lot easier to fix the lift with Loktite and superglue. 😆
    1
  465. Nope, not me. I still remember how to do long division; it’s like riding a bicycle - if you do it in the middle of the street, you’ll become bug-squash. 🤣😂
    1
  466. “…because I’m going to pull the engine off of the transmission.” Are you sure, there, Ray. Aren’t you really pulling the transmission off the engine? Just making you think about it. 😌
    1
  467. Hot fuel pump + tank of flammable gasoline = super ultra sketchy!! 😮
    1
  468. I think you should give the Miata engine to the “I do cars” YT Channel guy. It’d be a pity to throw it away when it could serve as entertainment (i.e. teardown video)! 😅
    1
  469. When haters/trolls want to tell me how to do my job, I offer them my seat and they can do the computer programming. Sadly, none have ever taken me up on the offer. 😝🤣😆
    1
  470. You know, if you save all the air coming out of the tire, you can then put it back in the tire. Or, you can cheat, and use shop air. I vote for cheating; any takers? 😏
    1
  471. Did he say, “a ‘red’ pulley”? No. No. No! NO!! Everyone knows it has to be a blue pulley. It’s blue, so you know it’s good! 🙂 Like blue water for your windshield wipers! BLUE, damn it! 😂🤣😆 Because red=stop. And we don’t want the engine to stop. Stop=bad. 😢 (unless you’re powering down, then it’s good, but make sure to make the “powering down” sound, or it doesn’t count!) 😅 Words. Rambling. Word rambling. ‼️
    1
  472. The red lumens aren’t bright enough. Thus, white lumens are needed. 😊
    1
  473. Bing, bring. Round 1 of the MMA fight between Ray and a new water pump. 🤣
    1
  474. Someone should make trucks with hydraulic lifts built-in. You pushing the subscribe button and the cab lifts up for easy access. You pushing the subscribe button again and the cab comes down… all the way down! 😂
    1
  475. I wonder if the red Mustang sitting nearby also has that same fuel line pressure sensor? Maybe swap them out for confirmation. 😊
    1
  476. Yeah, breaking a bolt off in the block is bad. So is “poppin’ sie hood” and finding a big wasp nest under the plastic engine cover. Don’t ask. Really. 😑 Especially if you have an allergy to bee stings.
    1
  477. First, he’s watching painted grass dry, now he’s watching it boil. What metaphor will Ray slaughter next? 😮
    1
  478. I see a smallish problem with your tactical air gun; it blows the leaves into places they’re hard to get out of, good sir. 😄
    1
  479. I’d be more worried about local disasters in Florida than aliens. Because Ron DeSatan will ship them to Martha’s Vineyard! I’d worry about hurricanes, crocodiles, pythons, and what Florida schools are teaching (or not teaching) the little units! Our children MUST come first - they’re our future! ❤️❤️
    1
  480. Good Sir, I don’t think the windshield wiper fluid is blue enough. 😌

  481.  @itsadogslife...8825  no, she’s an anomoly - that’s why funny music plays whenever she appears in the video. Twilight Zone stuff. 😁😆🤣
    1
  482. (@19:44) Hand near moving parts - really sketchy! 😬
    1
  483. It’s not a BMW. Yeah. It’s also not a VW Golf. 🤣
    1
  484. Remember that fuel is flammable for a reason. Otherwise it would just be random, liquid cr*p. 😂
    1
  485. Except you’ll have to Photoshop in the new tranny, or it’ll just end up with the old one again. 🤣😆
    1
  486. Remember, everything is a compound extension hammer… until it’s not. 😊
    1
  487. If you’re unsure what that doohickey in the pan was, ask Richard at Precision Transmission (YT channel) - He does nothing but transmissions (tear down & rebuild). 🙂
    1
  488. What’s up with the weird intro? That didn’t sound like Troy’s voice, and it definitely was not yours, nor the Wife Unit’s! It sounded like that computer synthesized voice that scammers use. I hope they haven’t hacked your YT channel; THAT would be bad, 🤓
    1
  489. Yeah, and you can’t buy lost time, either, nor does it ever go on sale!
    1
  490. Remember, spider genocide is not covered by the Geneva Convention. It’s channels like this (and SMA) that make YouTube (and life) bearable. 😌
    1
  491. (@15:45) - “...then they refer you to a specialist.” Yeah, and the specialist is rarely “in network” so your health insurer can deny coverage. Clever how that works. NOT! 🤬
    1
  492. That being said, fear also keeps you from doing something hideously stupid, like bothering hungry rattlesnakes, or angry lions, or some such. 😊
    1
  493. I hate it when the train horn sounds in the video, and I realize I can’t just run outside real quick to watch the train go by… because it’s in bloody Florida!! 🤬 Anyway, enough hating. 😊 Anyway, I think Ray needs a train horn for his mobile power generation pickup. 🛻 😅
    1
  494. The cap was blue for a blue car. It’s blue (and shiny) so you know it’s good. 😊
    1
  495. (@29:17) Ray installed the new Human-powered automatic gate opening unit! 🤣😆
    1
  496. Yes, weld surfaces should be nice and shiny!
    1
  497. Yeah, I run out of RAM all the time. I need Brain 2.0 with 16 TB of RAM, expandable to 128 terabytes! Yeah! 😅
    1
  498. Maybe the coolant ended up… in the gas tank. That’d be a weird one, eh? Powering down. peeeyouuuu… 🤣
    1
  499. Maybe it’d be easier to rebuild the entire vehicle around the new compressor. Just because we know you love your job so much. 😏
    1
  500. Thanks!
    1
  501. When you sacrifice honesty and integrity for income, you - in fact - sacrifice income too. Famous saying of the day. 😀
    1
  502. I’d say the company should eat it: 1) they’ve got way more financial resources (capital) than the employees do, 2) a happy customer is more likely to tell others about your shop, and/or leave good reviews. 3) the techs get paid their fair share. 4) if it really gets to be a problem, then maybe they can post a notice at the front desk that there’s a “spare tire” fee if the customer wants them to swap the spare back in the trunk.
    1
  503. Did anyone watch this video hoping Ray would actually rebuild the timing chain? Gotcha! 😆
    1
  504. Hi Dave! 😊
    1
  505. Brake drum assemblies were designed by octopuses. Or at least aliens with more hands and arms than the average auto mechanic. 😊
    1
  506. How come, no matter how much lubricant you put on a bolt, none EVER reaches the threads?? WHY? (Screaming…. Loud noises… breaking glass… crunching metal… sound of ambulance…) 😂
    1
  507. As the old saying goes, “if you succeed at failing, have you succeeded... or failed?” In Ray’s case, he just ends up the victim of fastener gravity. 🤗
    1
  508. If you get the diagnostic code, “000D0” (0-0-0 Destruct 0) it means, replace entire vehicle… in 1 minute! (Spoiler alert; inside joke for Trekkies) 😊
    1
  509. Lauren is having fun dancing to the music from next door. She’s such a sweetheart for coming out on a Saturday so Ray can play with a Chrysler product. Let’s just make her President! 💙💙 Screw that fat, orange-faced guy; I’ll bet he can’t even change out a headlamp, or his own oil. 🤣
    1
  510. What to do when the auxiliary electrons are too big to fit in the battery? Get two sources of auxiliary electrons for more pressure! 😆
    1
  511. I disagree; the jobs are not totally random; they have a nasty tendency to come in threes - three brake jobs, three radiators, et cetera… 😄
    1
  512. Just remember, Ray. When all looks bleak, just think of you still working for someone else’s shop. And the doodley-doo phone! 😅
    1
  513. (@17:14) Am I the only one who sees the “alien face” in the shop towel Ray stuck in the engine? 😊
    1
  514. Dipstick tubes; the bane of service techs everywhere. Just ask the guy from the “I do cars” YT channel; he’s always fighting with dipstick tubes. 😏
    1
  515. It’s not “quitting”; it’s “retreating to a more advantageous position”! 😁
    1
  516. Looks like those pesky aliens have rewired this pick-em-up truck, and are watching this video on their UFO and having a good laugh while getting drunk on Romulan Ale!
    1
  517. Might want to turn ‘em ze headlights off; they’re just stealing electrons from the electron storage unit! 😌
    1
  518. Yeah, at least the tire was in good shape; plenty of tread left. Of course, there could have been a hole caused by a sharp, pointy object on the other side where we couldn’t see it; said sharp pointy object not being part of the tire manufacturing process! 🤣
    1
  519. If it’s worth doing, it’s worth overdoing; use blowtorch instead. 🤔
    1
  520. Or… you could gut the innards from both purge solenoids and put the good ones in the can for the old one (that still has the hose on it.)! Or repair the old one with duct tape and baling wire. Everyone knows you can fix anything with duct tape and baling wire! 😆 (and maybe a hot soldering iron.) Nice shout-out to Eric at SMA! ❤️
    1
  521. And don’t forget the horse 💩
    1
  522. Or it’ll turn into a Danger Ranger! Forgot that one, huh? 😆
    1
  523. I can imagine someone, somewhere, getting the idea to remove the screw, put red thread-lock on it, then reinstall it in the tire. 😏 With maybe a bit of Gorilla glue for good measure. 🤣😂😆
    1
  524. Yeah, what does it matter? North Port is still a lake. A difference which makes no difference is no difference. So there. 😂
    1
  525. Came for the pry bar action, stayed for the tales of misery and woe… and a rubber ducky. 🦆 😂
    1
  526. Quantum mechanics would tell you that the more you measure the speed of the vehicle, the less you know about why you put said vehicle up on the lift. 🤔 Uncertainty, it’s a law. 😂
    1
  527. Yeah, sealant wouldn’t have done a lot of good. LOL! 🤣
    1
  528. No Ray, don’t do it!! Reeee! I mean, don’t use continuity/ohms mode on the meter if there are voltages in the circuit, or you’ll get the wrong reading, or blow the fuse in the meter. Don’t ask how I know. 😢 Essentially, the ohms/continuity mode applies the meter’s battery in series with a precision resistor and the meter probes, then measures the voltage from the black lead to the voltage divider formed by the two resistances, and translates that to a reading in ohms. So, if you have extra voltage in the circuit, then the meter reading is only calibrated to the meter’s battery voltage, so it could be wrong-o! 😮
    1
  529. Yeah, and a little Alumitap won’t hurt, either. Lubrication. 😊
    1
  530. That driveshaft is going to be the only thing that survives the zombie apocalypse. 😅
    1
  531. It’s a bad, bad day when your grease is razor sharp and fragile. 🤣😂
    1
  532. It’s jobs like this that make me wish cars (or at least car bodies) were made of LEGO bricks! Poppen it off and work on the engine- no problemo! I’d go for an ugly, but easily serviceable, car. Maybe I should have bought a train locomotive instead. 🚂 Then I could blow the horn at the trolls and haters. Yea!
    1
  533. Hell, I had enough of that just working on electronics repair; I don’t need more self-injury by working on cars! 😅
    1
  534. Wooo, there for a minute, I thought Ray had some fried chicken in that Banks box, especially given that I saw coffee earlier in said video. Just what every lubricant-covered technician needs; fried chicken & coffee. And O-rings. Don’t forget the O-rings. 😀
    1
  535.  @ZSAZSS09  Yeah, that option is for the hardcore techs! 😂 Along with the purple slide-pin grease as a dipping sauce. 😆
    1
  536. (@5:11 or so) The train is trolling Ray with loud noises. Reeee! 😊
    1
  537. Thanks!
    1
  538. Why doesn’t life have more Rays and Wife Units?? Why??? 😅
    1
  539. What!! Someone’s actually going to throw 💴 at that roller skate thing? 🤣 good luck!
    1
  540. “Are you nervous yet?” No, because we’re not going to be injured if that thing lets go. 😏 YT does have its advantages, you know. 🤣
    1
  541. Sorry, Ray, but some people are just trolls; they’re absolutely convinced they’re right and everyone else is wrong. Arguing or talking with them is pointless; just like fixing the gas tank is pointless if the engine threw a rod through the block! Just ignore them; once they can’t get their jollies by verbally bullying people, they’ll go somewhere else. They thrive on attention, and have the emotional maturity of a one year old. 😢
    1
  542. Well, considering there’s water pump impeller bits in the oil pan, I see an engine swap in the near future. Or a very crunchy engine with a helping of piston nuggets and con rods. Anyone for a side of bearing foil?
    1
  543. When an engine fixing video becomes a welder fixing video - sparkages ensue! 😂😅
    1
  544. A plastic zip tie (that fits) would probably hold that castle nut on there just as well as any cotter pin. Maybe better, since it won’t corrode or rust, and the ratchety-thingy on the end means it’ll stay in place. Hell, even a twist-tie (like those from a bag of hamburger/hot-dog buns from the grocery store) would probably work, too. Even a soul-damaging reused cotter pin would work. It just needs to prevent the castle nut from turning, whilst not falling out, itself! 😅
    1
  545.  @heikechilds2816  - actually, I think they’re made of nylon. Polystyrene would be too soft, and would break or stretch as you pull the zip tie tight. Polystyrene is also too vulnerable to chemical attack by organic solvents commonly found in a repair shop; Nylon is a lot more resistant. (Source: Google search - “what are zip ties made of?”)
    1
  546.  @knobblyknob  - The only way you’d be putting any shear force on the zip tie in this application is: 1) you cut it off with scissors or diagonal cutters, or 2) you try to wrench on the castle nut with the zip tie still in there. And considering how tight Ray put that castle nut on, you’re gonna have a real fight on your hands getting that castle nut off with the zip tie still on! 😉 I suspect the zip tie will outlive the vehicle, especially if you drive it up north.
    1
  547. Ohhh, I ❤️ the color of that there pick-em-up truck! 😌
    1
  548. I would have cleaned my (& others) fingerprints from the mirror when I was done. Customer service. 😊
    1
  549. What kind of dipweed would rivet the gasket to the oil pan? That’s a wear item, and the oil pan bolts will hold it in place anyway once it’s reinstalled. Sheesh.
    1
  550. Yeah. Ha, ha. It’s not only the end of the “transmission”, it’s the “end” of the transmission (well, the old one anyway) because it’s no good anymore. Doh! 😣 Putting new one in. 😂 Yay!
    1
  551. Prank time! Put the smoke producing unit behind the shop fan air-moving unit, then have the wife unit turn both on! Then, play the “try to find the daddy unit” game with the littlest unit (a.k.a. Hide-and-seek!) 🤭
    1
  552. (@23:20) I was seriously expecting the white pickup truck to pull out in front of you without looking both ways. 🤔
    1
  553. If you raise the headache rack sufficiently, you can slidening the fuel tank and the tool-holding unit forwards; enough for a loosely-goosey trailer! Yeah. 😅
    1
  554. I think I would coat the ends of the screws on the new unit with thick lubricant (i.e., grease) so they don’t corrode… again. 😂
    1
  555. Yeah, they’re driving revenue. Unfortunately, revenue has a leaky oil filter, blown head gaskets, and spun main bearings. So there. 🤣
    1
  556. Ha! Tricked by a Porsche! I thought for a minute that this was going to be the shortest Rainman Ray video when he couldn’t get the vehicle started! 😌
    1
  557.  @glennschemitsch8341  - Nah, those units were going in the trash anyway. 😊
    1
  558. If it were, then the force of fuel detonation in the cylinder would be far more than what you’d get testing the gap.
    1
  559. Yeah, “stop leak” is not the proper repair; gorilla glue is! 😂 Okay, just kidding. A new radiator-device is needed!
    1
  560. Because… gravity. 😆
    1
  561. Well, this makes no sense. If the original bolt takes into account the thickness of the control arm, and the new bolt is longer, then - logically - the new bolt must also take the thickness of the control arm into account + whatever extra length. So, if the new bolt isn’t going in all the way, then either; the threads in the hole in the subframe are too buggered up, or the new bolt has the wrong thread pitch, or the Universe is getting its revenge for Ray defeating gravity, for however brief a moment in time. 🤣 The laws of Physics will not be mocked. C’mon, Ray, you should know better. Just be glad the lift didn’t fail and drop a Hyundai on you! Or, as I once saw on the Internet, “If I die from eating too many gummi bears, I hope someone will have the dignity to just say that I died from a bear attack, and leave it at that.” Ponder that for awhile… after getting plenty of rest!
    1
  562. “Wrench and repeat!” LOL! 😅
    1
  563. Hmmm…. Random non-start condition. Poppen ze hood. Ohhh. I found the problem, sir. Your Mitsubishi has a Rainman Ray stuck under the hood. 🤣
    1
  564. Leaky lubricant loses luster! 😌
    1
  565. Big sketchy springs are super scary! Safety first. He who skips safety wins… serious injury. 😱
    1
  566. That was a rhinoceros, not a unicorn. So sad. 🙁… 🤣🤣🤣😂 Yeah, right. Anyway, that was my public service announcement for today, lest anyone accuse Ray of spreading misinformation about unicorns. Or rhinoceroses. Or even octopuses. Because. 8 arms. And what automotive repair person hasn’t wished for more grabbing appendages from time to time, eh?
    1
  567. Ummm, Ray? That little knob has a set-screw. When you turned the knob to the “full power, Scotty!” position, you can just see the hole in the knob in the video. Or it could be a black hole-shaped mark on the knob, but I’m betting on it being a set-screw. 😊
    1
  568. (@17:57), BTW. For the win! 😂
    1
  569. I’m super glad that Ray is super glad to be here! 😄
    1
  570. Did Ray fill the grease zerks with grease? Hmmm. 🤔
    1
  571. Sometimes, it’s easier to take the car apart to get to the engine than it is to take the engine apart to get to the engine. 😊
    1
  572. Um, did Ray forget to clean the brake rotors with brake cleaner this time, or do these new rotors not have the rust-inhibiting oil?
    1
  573. Another gas-guzzling land yacht. 😕
    1
  574. I agree with pokefan5022: yank the engine out, repackage it with an absolute sh*tload of drywall screws, and send it back to Eric with a note inside that says, “Gotcha buddy!!” 😝 oh, and save the lights; they might come in handy in the shop someday. 😊
    1
  575. (@38:11) - Oh, I’ll put it back together after drilling out the rivets; one way of the other! I will do it! Even if I have to use long machine screws, that sucker IS going back together. A little superglue never hurt, either. 😊 I’m not the type to let rivets ruin my day. 😅 Broken welds - OYOH - are a significantly more difficult problem… because I have no welding sparkage-producing unit! 😢
    1
  576. Drat - clickbait! I wanted to see a big, giant guillotine cut a Kia clean in half! 🤣 Darn you, Ray! You tricked the viewers into watching a video that wasn’t about a split-in-two Kia…
    1
  577. It’s a good thing Ray got rid of the stinging wasp units - they might have made their way into the shop. That would be bad. 😢
    1
  578. (@41:10) - what about using plastic wire ties slipped through the pulley and fastened to that large, round stud-like thingy on top of the power steering pump to keep the pulley stationary whilst you put clickage on the tightening device? Then you can just cut the plastic wire tie when you’re done, and no one will be the wiser (except you).
    1
  579. The real joy of this channel is Ray saying nonsensical things. Oh, and the intro. Yeah. Positive attitude is a good think. Oh, and a cute wife unit.
    1
  580. (@25:50 or so) Oh, no, Ray reused a cotter pin; his soul Is DOOMED! 🤣 Yah, I know it’s new one, but still, he reused it.
    1
  581. The dash unit needs some un-dusting. Pronto. 🤮
    1
  582. Ah, just what’s needed; an electron transport mechanism to go with the electron storage device. Bravo. 😌
    1
  583. Ray has a jam nut. Now he only needs a peanut butter nut. Then, he’ll have a PBJ nut. Yum. Sandwiches. 😍
    1
  584. Does the black or green subscribe button make louder noises? Enquiring minds want to know. 😊
    1
  585. One of these days, some enterprising young person will come up with a rolley table with holes in it just for sockets and ratchet wrenches. Yeah, that’d be a good idea. 😅 And you could flip up the top to dislodge all the sockets/ratchets onto the shop floor (gravity) so you could use it as a fluid disposal unit! Twofer!
    1
  586. (@23:54) You can see that right above the black thingy that’s part of the control arm, there’s a cracked bushing held down by the bolt/nut that Ray is applying clickages to. Hope that’s not vital… 🤔
    1
  587. (@22:22 or so) Ray’s wheelie-stool almost became a jackstand! 😅
    1
  588. I look around and realize; 1) there are too many broken cars. 2) there are too many broken auto parts, and 3) there’s too much part gravity. This is why I leave auto repair to people like Ray. Or the Car Wizard. Or Eric O. At South Main Auto! Shout-outs, folks!! 💙💙😅
    1
  589. Now who wants to place a bet that if the “I do cars” guy had tried to remove that dipping stick, he’d still be fighting that d**n thing? 🤣😂
    1
  590. B-1 is oil life - changing the lubricant recommended! At least for my Honda Insight, anyway. I’m guessing the same would hold for a Civic. Haven’t seen an A-1 yet.
    1
  591. A slip-ring commutator with gold-plated contacts would also be a way of transferring electrons from a rotating part to a non-rotating part. 😊
    1
  592. Now that I think about it, I’d also have an electrician go over that wiring mess. Yuck. 🤮
    1
  593. Except for everything in the engine which now has insufficient lubricant! Gaaa!!

  594. Yes, and make a note not to fight with Subaru engine water pumps anymore! 😅
    1
  595. Remember folks, if you’re not fixing your Jeep, you’re not having fun. Have yourselves a great day, tie-rod ends and all. 😏
    1
  596. It’s good when the lumens are bright enough for a good video. 😍
    1
  597. Dirt-encrusted brake calipers are SO uncool. 🤮
    1
  598. I’m giving this video a sketchiness rating of 2 (out of 5). Why? Not replacing the inner gaskets when you replaced the outer gasket. That, and you didn’t install a rodent-powered engine. This helps put otherwise unused rodents to work, and reduces the unemployment rate (of rodents, anyway.) 😆🤣😝 BTW, does anyone know how many rats it takes, going around in a hamster wheel, to generate 1 HP? What if we put the hamster wheels in parallel? A rodent-powered rotary engine; here’s thinking of you, Mazda!

  599. Runaway exploding projects are de rigeur in Software Engineering. Customer states; “add more!”
    1
  600. I hope Ray remembers the first rule; don’t die. 😅
    1
  601. With regards to the comment Ray made about the fired employee: it’s one thing if your (bad) habit only harms you - it’s another if your habit causes harm to someone else (like smoking, or drunk driving). That crosses a line into totally uncool territory. 😱 And this is a family oriented channel, and Ray only does cool here. 🤩 Oh, and brake cleaner. Gotta have plenty of cans of brake cleaner!! 🤣
    1
  602. Silly boy, why are you pushing the (go) kart before the horse(power)? Pull the floor-jack behind you, don’t push it in front of you; you’re mis-applying your horsepower that way. That’s like a semi trying to push the trailer in front of it - not stable. And that should displease you. 😏
    1
  603. This is the way to spend my birthday; watching Ray get soaked in engine coolant! I just knew that was gonna let go when he yanked the hose free from the coolant-pumping unit! Yeah! 😅
    1
  604. This perfectly embodies the military concept of SNAFU; Situation normal- all f**ked up (as usual.) 😅 Just remember, leaky tires are only leaky if they have a hole in them. Old Chinese proverb.
    1
  605. It’s a Pontiac. It’s got the big 5.3. It’s got a leak. Time for another video. 😌
    1
  606. (@49:43) Ummm, aren’t the low-side and high-side A/C ports supposed to be on DIFFERENT pipes??? Those are clearly on the same pipe (hose, tube, whatever). How are you going to get a difference in pressure?
    1
  607. They could have saved some money by putting in a regular 2-cylinder V-type motorcycle engine rather than design their own. 😊
    1
  608. “Eventually, something will happen.” Yes, Ray will get ‘noodle arm’ and call it a day. End of transmission. >face palm!<
    1
  609. The lumens aren’t bright enough, sometimes. 😌
    1
  610. I say that Ray should do more videos that trigger idiotic troll persons! Yeah! Then they can go watch painted grass turn into boiled piston rings. 😆🤣😝
    1
  611. (@14:27) Ray switches to the pre-planny plan! Also the organized plan!
    1
  612. Which is better: the black subscribe button, or the green one? 🤔
    1
  613. This is a good example of “project explosion.” You go to do one thing, and it quickly spirals onto a much larger project, with associated costs. So, it’s good that Ray is still topped up with “I’m super glad to be here” because it really sucks if you hate your job. Ray always seems to bring a bright, positive attitude with him wherever he goes. 😅
    1
  614. Call me a sentimental fool, but I like hose-clamp pliers better than angry pliers. 🙂
    1
  615. I think the Ford needs to turn into a silvery rado. 😏 Or, in this case, a yellow one.
    1
  616. Go get some girl’s clear nail polish remover; that’s nearly pure acetone. 🙂
    1
  617. “I want to drive up that hill. Looks like fun.” Not with a trailer loaded with drywall and construction material, dude! That would be bad. 🤔
    1
  618. The irony (of the song) is strong with this one - must be a Jedi. 🤣
    1
  619. Ha, ha! But, good sir, you don’t realize that the viewing audience tricked you into tricking them into an oil change video! 😏
    1
  620. You had me fooled, good sir. I thought it was April 1st already. 🤣😂😆
    1
  621. Hmmm. Maybe the rock was a new factory item on that model year of roller skate. 🤣😆
    1
  622. Okay, show of hands 👏 folks: who watches these videos just to see nice, shiny pieces of metal? Or to watch Ray use up 60,000,000 cans of brake cleaner to get something nice and shiny? Admit it, you do. I do. We all do. And Ray satisfies the viewer’s need (and occasional visits from the lovely wife unit!) A sin-win situation. 🎉😅
    1
  623. Oh, no. That PT Cruiser is DOOMED!! Ray put water in it, when the coolant fill cap clearly says, “Special Engine Coolant Only” (which we see @ 11:42)! And water is only “Plain Engine Coolant.” Bad. I hope this doesn’t damage his soul. Or the PT Cruiser’s. Oh, wait, this is a Chrysler product; it doesn’t have a soul, only a tendency to leak coolant. 🤣😂
    1
  624. The no planny plan is sus; it’s like going through life without a wife unit. I’ll let people cogitate on that for awhile... 😀
    1
  625. Hmmm, I’m thinking a wire whizzy-wheel might have been a better idea on that rusty rear diff cover interior. And some Brake Clean for the win! 🏆
    1
  626. Ray. The perfect example of life lived an eighth of a turn at a time. Patience, young Padawan!
    1
  627. Right now, there are a large quantity of uncool people who haven’t clickaged the green subscribe button. If clickaging on the green subscribe button they do, then - like magic - they’ll be cool. Like Ray! 😀 💙
    1
  628. I think the forklift is shivering in fear of this sketch-o-matic plan! 😆
    1
  629. Any video in which I don’t trip and fall because of a thrown can of brake cleaner on the shop floor is a good one in my book. 😊
    1
  630. (@13:46) - This is why I always keep Raid ant and roach killer handy. Does a number on stray fire ants, too, should any wander into your shop. 🤗 Death to roaches!!
    1
  631. Yeah, Ray discovered Chinese cars are hazardous to one’s safety! 😅
    1
  632. The shower is in case you get corrosive chemicals on you by mistake.
    1
  633. Oh yeah, I forgot. You need to change this out for a class 0.5 hyperdrive, then it’ll be “the fastest hunk of junk in the Galaxy!” I know, because Han Solo said so. 😉
    1
  634. See, this is why Ray is such an awesome employer; he treats his team right! 💙 Not like some snobby, rich jerk who finds every little fault as an excuse to berate or fire their employees, or treat the female employees like sex toys. Nope. Not here! Everyone loves Lauren! 💙💙 The Wife Unit is too valuable to be treated with disrespect… She’s the coffee gofer! 😀 And she’s sort of famous with her own YouTube channel!
    1
  635. I wonder if Ray ever has any bad dreams where he’s working on a vehicle, but every panel has a zillion fasteners, and the removed panel just reveals more panels with zillions of fasteners? 🤣😆😂
    1
  636. Don’t you just love a job where your boss has you do weird experiments like jumping on some random dude’s pickup truck hitch? For science! 😅
    1
  637. All the alternate electrons took the leaky path to ground, and are now under the Chevy Silvery Rado. 😂🤣
    1
  638. Well, if the O-ring isn’t on the thermostat, then it must be circulating in the coolant system somewhere. So uncool. 😮
    1
  639. (@16:25) - Forbidden glitter! Oh, no! 😮
    1
  640. Lefty loosy - righty tighty like a tiger. There. 😅
    1
  641. Remember folks out there in YouTube-land; playing with air bags is SUPER dangerous; sort of like 60 tons of TNT going off in the car. Okay, well maybe not that much. But it will feel like 60 tons of TNT went off if that air bag deploys in your face! Let ding-a-lings (or experts) play with air bags. Don’t do this at home, kids!
    1
  642. (@6:43) “Random giggles...” LOL! Maybe they thought you were sniffing the brake-parts cleaner. 😝
    1
  643. Have yourselves a great day… and some battery clickages! 😂
    1
  644. I sure hope Ray put the thermostat-coolant-diversion unit back in before sealing everything back up. 😊
    1
  645. “Throwing parts into the junk pile…” (Ray thinks about throwing the entire suburban off to the side.) 😏🤗
    1
  646. Ray. Taking over the world, one car repair at a time (with a little help from the Wife Unit)!
    1
  647. (@5:42) This would be a good time to have a wrist-mounted mirror+light unit! Then Ray would have lumens to see by, and a mirror to see with! Yeah. I win!
    1
  648. Okay, brake-pad assemblies make no sense. While the piston pushes the brake pads against the rotor, there doesn’t appear to be any return spring (like with drum brakes) to pull the brake pads away from the spinning rotor when the pistons retract (especially on the side opposite the pistons.) Where’s my return spring… where’s the DAMN spring?!? 🤔
    1
  649. It would have been epic if the idiot with the lead foot in the white car had blown a head gasket and spun rod bearings, and ended up in Ray’s shop! 🤣😆😝 Do a stupid thing, get a stupid answer.
    1
  650. Okay, now I have a small complaint. You put anti-seize on the studs (by mistake), which you then clean off (all good so far). Then you put the nuts back on which still have lubricant from the removal process. This would seem to defeat the point of cleaning the studs, no? Maybe you should have called Peter over to “clean my nuts”? 😕 Okay, maybe not. At least the new hub is “nice and shiny”! 😍
    1
  651. Bad pun. 😢 … 🤣😆😝

  652.  @bobbg9041  trust me, I wouldn’t want to. 😝

  653. Favorite Rainman Ray sayings/memes: * Anothah….!” (While throwing empty can of brake cleaner. * Electron ratcheting unit. * Poppen ze hood! * Nice and shiny! * (insert tool here) gravity!
    1
  654. (@17:38) - Ray cleverly defeats shock-absorber gravity! 🤗
    1
  655. “The three in front will be easy…” he says, as his wobbly bits almost fall off. 🙃
    1
  656. (@49:08) the fan air-moving unit needs some sound effects. An old radial aircraft engine comes to mind. Yeah, Vought F4U Corsair for the win.
    1
  657. Here’s a hint when cutting stiff pieces of wire; hold on to the end of said stiff piece of wire before cutting it. That way, said stiff piece of wire doesn’t fly off into your eyeball. Much safer-er! 😀😀😀 Oh yeah, and it’ll prevent the cut piece of wire from flying off and hitting Troy in the eye! 🤣 It works for cutting off plastic wire ties as well.
    1
  658. This video makes me sad - destruction of so many perfectly good cinder blocks (I mean, concrete Lego bricks). 😢 Too many non-planny plans. Ha, ha. Just kidding. 😂 Does anyone know the resale value of cinder blocks these days? 🤣🤣😆😆😅😊
    1
  659. Yeah, the first SUV was a pick-em-up truck (so called, because the farmboys would use them to pick-em-up the girls) with a camper shell, maybe two rear-facing seats, and an angry guy in back with a shotgun. Why was he angry? No A/C back then! 😆
    1
  660. Okay, but the tool for the smooth-walled oil filters has one glaring flaw; that extra bit will so easily get lost because it’s not attached somehow. That’s gonna end up with tool gravity (right into the oil recovery basin)! Or someone will forget they put it in their pocket, then spend hours looking for it. 😂🤣
    1
  661. No critters, but I did run over a small, crispy plastic potted-plant pot. 😮 Noooo, not the “weed” kind of pot. 😅

  662. Elective (truck) surgery, 101. The Professor (Ray) will now demonstrate to the class, the proper way to upgrade the intake system. Any “Reee”actions, people? 😀

  663. Well, you’ve got a tire removal station and s tire balancing station. Now you need a tire (& wheel) cleaning station. Because good things come in threes. 😌

  664. “It’s dead, Jim.” Or is it, “I’m a doctor, not a transmission mechanic!” 😅
    1
  665. Oh well, at least the guy has a brand new O2 sensor. 😏
    1
  666. Some notes: 1) I’d have cleaned the window glass while I had it out; it’s a lot easier to get it all that way. 😌 2) Anything left on the floor, especially if it has sticky glue, WILL get stepped on. You have been warned! 🤣 (don’t ask how I know… I just do.)
    1
  667. (@15:20) - New way to play with a fidget spinner - power tools! Yeah, baby! 🤣😆😂

  668. It’s a random Toyota. 😂 Next time, will it be a random Dodge?
    1
  669. I downvote loud vehicles. 😩 Especially in residential neighborhoods. Loud is fine for the racetrack, but so uncool elsewhere.
    1
  670. I think Ray’s truck needs Ctrl-Alt-Del. Truck.exe has stopped working. 😮
    1
  671. As to the “well on your property in California” deal, the aquifer extends beyond the geographical confines of your property line, and (the water therein) is thus shared with anyone else (like farmers) who drills a well down to the aquifer, including - presumably - the State of California itself. They’re taxing it to create an artificial reduction in demand for a limited resource (and $$$ of course.) I foresee a biggo problem if they start taxing the air, however. 😅
    1
  672. Is there a P000Destruct0 code for utter stupidity? 😆🤣
    1
  673. Most importantly, don’t drive with an expired registration sticker! 😀
    1
  674. I think the wife unit was making fun of the husband unit there at the end. 😊 Mostly because said husband unit took three tries to end the transmission. Fail.
    1
  675. That was a suspicious oil indicator; too much vibration when turning left. 🤣😆
    1
  676. Maybe the insurance company committed fraud? 🤔 Hmmm…
    1
  677. (@2:33) - “What’s its problem?” (raises my hand in class) “I know - it needs dielectric grease, more silicone, and some of that red RTV rubber stuff!” P.S. if you out there in the audience don’t get the “in” joke, go back and watch Ray’s April 1 video (from this year, that is.) 😏😌
    1
  678. I’ve found that if you buy a car from them and finance it, the service people will screw you over, but if you pay with cash, they’re much less likely to. Why? Two reasons: 1) they think you’re a big spender, and they don’t want you buying a new car somewhere else. 2) you deprived them of their pure profit by not financing; they don’t want you buying another car from them again… with cash. That being said, there are just some makes/models of vehicles to run - not walk - away from, no matter how good a “deal” you get. Hint: watch the “buy this, not that” videos by the Car Wizard (YT channel).
    1
  679. I think someone took a BeamNG test drive in this thing… IRL. 😟
    1
  680. Ray, those dirt daubers kill spiders. So unless you smell like a big tarantula, they’re not interested in you. Besides, you’re way too big for them to bring home for dinner! 😂
    1
  681. All those splices are like spiders holding onto spiders holding onto yet more doodley-doo spiders; it just never ends. 🤪
    1
  682. No, it’s a common Ray meme! 😂

  683. You know, if aliens really did visit Earth, they would come to the conclusion that cars are made of hoses, wire, and various-shaped pieces of metal. Which isn’t too far from the truth… once they poppen ze hood!
    1
  684. Maybe now is not the best time to be living near a coastline. Is there ever? 😮 I hear San Antonio, TX is nice this time of year... 😅
    1
  685. Vehicles today have too much hoses & wiring and not enough engine. Sad. 😢
    1
  686. This would have been so epically ironic had the A/C company van… needed A/C service!!
    1
  687. I think, instead of doing tire repair all day, Ray should take up a new job, “scam trolling”! Like if you agree. 😍
    1
  688. Worn out tools - so uncool. Extra leverage - the laws of physics always win! But do the laws of X-files anamolies apply to the cute little girl that sometimes appears in these videos? Is it true that good mechanics have lovely wife units? 🤣😆 It certainly does for Ray and Eric O. over at South Main Auto! 😍
    1
  689. Frustration is the result of inanimate objects resisting superior brainpower. Yeah. Something like that. 😀
    1
  690. Ray’s colorful description @ 7:47 - ROTFL, 🤣😂😝😆
    1
  691. Ha, ha! Ray literally used his noggin! 😂😂
    1
  692. It’s a Chevy. It’s got the big 5.3. It’s got a sad battery. Time to maken a video. 😅
    1
  693. Mask up! It’s time for surgery! Time for a blood (er, um, I mean trans fluid) transfusion from the Jeep unit to the Cobalt unit. 😆
    1
  694. Climate change, it’s an expensive thing. 😮
    1
  695. Another possibility is that the driver ran over a bale or bundle of wire dropped from some other vehicle (work truck), and wrapped around the spinning drive shaft/U-joint causing it to bind up. This stress - then - exacerbated the flaw in the casting, and the fit hit the Shan. 😮
    1
  696. Yeah, now I want to see Threepio. 🤣
    1
  697. Maybe it’s <drum roll, please...> yellow paint! That’s not an approved engine lubricant.
    1
  698. Nah, make it a full case. 😅
    1
  699. Wobbly extensions are more fun. 😊
    1
  700. As for employees, I think it’s simple. You only have 24 hours in one day to wear all those hats (well, figuratively speaking, that is), and some of those have to be spent eating, sleeping, taking care of nature, the wife unit, and the children units, so that doesn’t leave much time to wear all those other hats. That gets tiring real quick, especially if you expand your business. And the figurative weight of all those hats adds up. Employees are like good, high quality tools. Especially if you make your helper units feel appreciated by giving them a “piece of the action”. It’s like you buying those fluid replacement units; it doesn’t cost, it pays! 😎
    1
  701. The Engine coolant/metal over temperature warning is telling you that thing uses liquid metal - it’s a Terminator! It’s out to get you, Ray! run, run! 😆😂🤣
    1
  702. (@51:02) I love the irony of trying to wipe off his fingerprints with his fingers. 😆 Fortunately, the situation is correctly corrected a few moments later. 😊 reee…
    1
  703. Thanks for giving Eric at I Do Cars a shout-out; I like that dude. 😌
    1
  704. (@6:26) - it looks like there’s some sort of damage to the friction material on the exhaust cam gear (?) right there just to the left of, and below, Ray’s yellow-gloved finger. Or maybe it’s dirt. Either way, it’s not good news if the magnet-activated clutch plate grinds it into the material. 😮
    1
  705. Yeah, don’t beat trains to the crossing either; then you’ll be REALLY flat (and scrunched up like a wad of paper)!
    1
  706. I think it goes without saying that - at this point - the teeth on the pinion gear (starter) are probably all chewed up. No good. Garbage! 🗑️ 😊

  707. Yellow vehicle with no horn for safety. Lose. Take it back for a refund. 😅
    1
  708. Hey Ray, try offering them a beer of their choice in exchange for the magnetic light. Probably get more takers that way. 😊
    1
  709. Let’s all “wrench and repeat.” I like that saying. 😋
    1
  710. Remember, every tool is a hammer… until it’s broken. 😅
    1
  711. Yeah, but does he have a serpentine belt in martial arts? 😅
    1
  712. (@33:25) - That’s “engine-nerding” terms, good sir. 🤣😁
    1
  713. What if, “Customer states: vehicle not up to Escarado standards; please fix.”? Hmmm? Then what do you do, Ray? My guess is that Ray will have a laugh, then turn down said customer request. Correct me if I’m wrong here, Ray. Because what if said customer is super-rich truck snob? After that job, you could buy 3 more shops. Too bad you can’t buy 3 more wife units! 🤣🤣 Of course, 3 more shops would be much more difficulter to manage! 😀
    1
  714. Hi Ray. The Car Wizard (YT Channel) recently ran into an intermittent shorting problem in an Audi, so I referred him to your recent video about a shorted O2 sensor (heater) in which it was drawing enough current to melt your test leads! Also, Eric O. at SMA, recently did a video about how butt-splice connectors can fail. Just a little public service announcement thing going on here. 😀
    1
  715. I do hope that Ray or Eric will do a teardown on the old engine from this mini people mover. 😊
    1
  716. I was going to make a snide comment on hoses, water, motors, and wires, but I see someone already beat me to the punch. Yes, definitely don’t put wires in the motor because the hose will get wet. There. 🤣
    1
  717. Maybe someone will make a car that’s nothing but one ginormous battery, a motor, and wheels. Then - instead of Reeee - it’ll be Wheeee! Until it crashes in a big ball of fire. Then it’ll be Reeeecall!
    1
  718. (@25:00) When you get stumped, call Eric O. from SMA for a little visit! More eyes and more brains! And be so kind as to pay for a round-trip ticket. A video collab makes for a really good video! 😊 Just saying.
    1
  719. It’s comforting knowing the belt is installed correctly, even though you can’t see the lettering on it while it spinning around! 😆😂
    1
  720. (@1:06:06) All the spillage is going to create a Reee party! 🎉🎉
    1
  721. Nah, that’s not the worst screw-up; the worst screw-up would be if you broke the timing belt, then (the manager) tried to cover it up and blame the customer (and charge them mucho $$$). You have to keep things in perspective. Just remember the #1 rule in ANY job: never say, “it couldn’t be worse” - it can ALWAYS be worse! 😏
    1
  722. Ray is misfiring on all cylinders today. Guess we’ll have to find his OBD-II port and plug in the scan tool, then do a compression test. Yeah. 😅
    1
  723. Wow, that’s the first time I’ve seen Ray poppen ze hood and get a free shop rag. 😊
