Part 2 Reassembly HERE! Ford Explorer 4.6 Front End Rebuild PT2 th-cam.com/video/lxeOgySnIsI/w-d-xo.html
@RainmanRaysRepairs
I was wondering if you could maybe make a video or mention sometime what types of higher quality oils to use or brands to use in vehicles for better performance, not racing. I hear a lot about BG, and I don’t think it’s snake oil, Amsoil, Liqui Moly (for European cars), and Royal Purple. I realize you stated you’re an Amsoil dealer, but do you think any of those other brand are worth it based on your personal experience? Thanks for any response if you have time.
Dave is hilarious, gravity!!!
Can You Please fix my car...Dodge Caravan 😢
Dave saying “Loud Noises”. When he yells “Gravity” I will know that the assimilation is complete. 😂😂😂
Dave is turning into a junior apprentice to you Ray. He is picking up on your techniques.
This is just a comment to keep TH-cam happy. Nice video!
Dave has become the borg.
Contractual obligation.
We are the TH-cam. You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile. You will become one with the shop! 😅😅
I'm glad Dave locks the shop up on time otherwise you'd never go home.
If he doesn't close the doors, time and a half kicks in. 😊
Good call by the customer on getting everything fixed!
And it gives us really interesting stuff to watch.
@@imagseer It appears.This owner takes very good care of this vehicle so it should last him a very long time.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
@@rjb6327but look at all the work being done he has employee’s and rent insurances cost of materials and a lot of overhead he has to charge for his time and this is his profession plus he’s not as expensive as the Dealer and above all that he’s Honest that is what sets him apart from some others that are questionable
@@kevink8481 yes when the new ones cost 50 to 70k 3k for a new frt end isn't so bad. Plus im willing to bet its been paid off several years.
I watch a lot of TH-cam channels, but yours is one of the very few where I hit the ‘Like’ button even before I’ve started watching it. I just KNOW it’s going to be “a very good video”! I like what you do, and I like the way you do it. The only thing I miss from ‘the old days’ was the amusement caused by the ‘doodley-do’ ring tones and your irritation when it wasn’t answered. 😂😂 That’s more than made up for by the appearances of Lauren, aka the Wife Unit, though. Thanks for keeping me entertained, Ray. 👍
I know. He should change his phone to one that goes doo de le doo 😂. But it would probably get old quick lol
Same here Ray gets a automatic like everything I click on one
"Loud noises" -Dave (Love it)
5:45PM in Aus, Sat night, a single malt scotch and Ray vid. Could think of lots worse things.
Hear, hear!
9:15 am Saturday hello from the west coast of Canada Vancouver island!🙂
Do you watch Bad Chad in Australia
when you realize its 6 am and have not been to sleep yet.... your watch your friendly neighborhood mechanic. good morning ray!
Put the phone down and you'll get better sleep!!😂😂
@@dsc420247 no phone its PC
I am a 67 year old woman never worked on a car but feel that by watching your content I know my way around a car thank you
This 70 year old woman totally agrees with you.
I'm a 69 year old woman and I heartily agree with you.
Flying saucers NEXT!💃🤸♂️
I remember back in 'dem days'...the word I heard was an older lady telling me that she felt she had gotten 'hoodwinked' by someone😏
About oil leaks...many times it depends if you have a nice driveway with garage...or you live in SCUM Bucket apartment complex....yet Im glad that have a 'cattelack' or pint a star' engine with honeybaked oil oozing all over the place...
Good video of a full days work. Nice to see Dave in the picture!!
31:22 Dave has learned the lingo
Nice tag team work Ray, the more that Dave's featured in your content the better for your channel. And thanks for explaining what you're doing as you perform repairs rather than just doing them, it helps educate those of us who do not do this for a living. 👍
What I love most about @RainmanRaysRepairs content is how often I learn good habits and general skills even if it's not directly relevant to something I'm doing. Just knowing how various things come apart, and the varying ways to do it is helpful!
Absolutely love the teamwork you have, and Dave being timekeeper is fantastic delegation! Having someone other than yourself as owner of the business calling time, makes sure that everyone gets out at a reasonable hour. Sensible. Down time is essential to our ability to engage with our world. Take care all ❤❤
Lmao. You got the coolest, cutest wife ever. You couldn't get mad at her if you tried
Ohhh yes I can! 🤣
Don't let her know you think that😅@@RainmanRaysRepairs
Hey Ray you remind me of the lead singer of RAM JAM (black betty)
Seems to be a bunch of early birds on a Saturday morning. Happy Spring everyone.
Having a great day due to this video! Other than the cameo appearances from the supporting staff, this reminded me of my first suspension rebuild ever.
In 1973 I stripped and replaced the idler arm, inner and outer tire rods, a-arm bushings, upper and lower ball joints, sway bar bushings and end links, shocks and brakes. Replaced it weather it needed it or not. I did this work on my second vehicle, a 1964 Ford Ranchero, in the driveway on jack stands. Busted several knuckles but learned a ton about wrenching on cars.
Thanks for rekindling the memories Ray!😊😊😊😊😊
In helicopter maintenance they refer to the nut that holds the main rotor assembly to the shaft as the Jesus nut, for good reason!!
If you lose that then your first word is Jesus and that's the next person you're gonna meet!
The world needs more mechanics, and people, such as Ray.
Mr Ray great content as always. Please wear a face shield with those zip cuts. I’ve seen them shatter and explode on the line and the pieces fly far and can easily slice your face. Stay safe brother.
When I work on stuff I keep an assortment of vacuum port caps to plug trans lines, etc etc. Nothing worse than a drip in eyes or open mouth.
Always nice to see Lauren.
Job looks like $$$$.
Ray & Dave Tag Teaming a Ford. Nice seeing the team @ work.
a responsible car owner for once, and a good mechanic who does it how it should be done! many more years and miles in that motor
I have watched your channel a lot over the years (3-4). You have a unique way of talking about your services. I like the way you do the work excellent job.
Dave is getting with the program. Like how he warns of loud noises.
I don't normally comment, but you asked, so here it is. After determining, there were no major fluid loss issues. I would have taken it on a test drive in order to establish where the clicking, banging, rattling, noise was coming from. A test drive may have also brought to life other issues not noticed by the owner, aiding you in building a three tier maintenance profile.
My thoughts exactly.
Ray's Going Full Ford Exploder Today ! 😁
I'm just amazed at all the rust you have to deal with ,which is none , compared to up here in central NY. Your cars/trucks are so nicely kept.
It's the same way here in Minnesota. The torch is your friend 😅. But Minnesota doesn't have an inspection law. So you have to look under everything before you lift it.
@@steveb6103 I'm not a mechanic,but work on my own cars as much as I can handle. I PB blast nuts ,bolts a day ahead before I work on it . I use Nap gas torch if needed ,it's my friend 😉
It just occurred to me the vehicle is 24 years old. 2000 doesnt seem that long ago!😂
Good video Rainman, nice to see Dave not so shy of the camera
It's funny how Dave is picking up some of Ray's mannerisms. Sounds like the two of you are becoming a real team.
I'm impressed! How do you manage to get my favourite song ( Zombie by The Cranberries) into so many of your videos? That alone is worth a thumbs up from me!
The cranberry zombie what a tune
I love Dave. We need MORE DAVE! And of course, bringing back the Dooodlelidelidooos!!!
nice to see an owner who is spending some bucks to do proper maintenence on their truck, and it makes for a very good video. PS: Hi wife unit!
sunday morning coming down with Ray is a good thing , oh wait is only Saterday , what was I doing Friday night ? Ill never tell .
Tell Dave if he ever moves to Denver , Colorado he has a job at my shop! Good employees are hard to come by in this industry especially here in Colorado.
Parts changers are hard to find, or does the pay suck?
Good shop owners are as hard to find as good wrenches. Granddaughters fiance is a really good wrench but has abandoned the business because ownrrs and stealership have abused the relationship between them. Lying about the pay structure and working conditions. If an employer wants good employees then plan on treating them like you would like to be treated. That is a good plan for the rest of our lives in any case.
Great job as usual. David is a great addition to the show..
Have to say this is one of my favorite vids. Cannot wait for part 2.
Nice job Gentlemen !
10 points to the ever reliable , Liquid DAVE.. Dave is good..
Your videos are an added enjoyment to my day. Thank you!
Someone loves his FORD ! Glad he maintains it well.
Great to see a vehicle being maintained properly.
And amazingly rust free.
Good morning Ray, great video and what a joy to see an involved Dave interaction, not just a sighting. What a job! Great video. Still don’t know how you technicians remember what bolt goes where during assembly. Click! Have a great weekend, can’t wait for the next one.
Just for completeness I wanted to add this. The second gen Explorer which ended production in 2001, was available with the 5.0L 302 of old, however the third generation Explorer which started production in 2001 for the 2002 MY, switched over to the 4.6L modular motor platform found in the Mustang (and a bunch of other crap). So depending on the build date for that it may in fact be the 4.6L mod motor, just wanted to add this in.
It is a 4.6.
39:18 Ray does a power steering fluid spit take. 😂 Good job on this vehicle Ray and it was good to see Dave back in action, too!
Dual action team is totally good!
I like when that big ridged impact goes weeeeeee instead of reeeeee.
Like with beer, everyone has their favorite synthetic oil. I like Mobil 1. Years ago I saw a test where they used the Amsoil additive in oil and they ran the grinding wheel against a bearing till it stopped, and they showed how little wear on it. When he was asked to try doing the same test with Mobil 1, no matter how much pressure he applied to the grinding wheel it would not stop. When they examined the bearing material. There was hardly any wear on it.
There are now many synthetic oils out there that are very good, and it would be hard to live with that difference.
for regular oil changes, the difference is he gets $ from Amsol.
The more I watch the more I learn about cars.
GENTALMEN, STARTS YOUR MOWERS. my grass is starting to look like a 1960s ash ram. Hippy style grass.
Customer's name-Mr. Goldmine. Glad to see someone taking proper care of their vehicle
Ray your content is truly great. Please don't stop the filming.
I love it when people go for the fill estimate. It also is more common to see people do this as it is cheaper than buying a new vehicle.
I bet it's great having someone you trust enough to attack the other side of the rig while you do your work. Not always easy putting your repairs in someone else's hands! Dave seems to be a great addition to the team!
Hats off for team work. Good video 😊
Rust free cars are so much better to work on! Good team work
that vehicle looks brand new. just imagine doing this job in a salt state, and it is nice to be a 2wheel drive for all this work.
Aww love keeping up with maintenance on the carcus carrying unit because they will break when you're the brokest
Teamwork!
What a lot of disassembly of a Mercury/Ford! I did not expect a V8 in that SUV. Once it's all put back together the customer will have a solid vehicle to drive another 100K or more. I still have an old school view on suspension rebuilds where the bushings/ball joints were replaced, not the whole control arms. I understand the economics of it, being quicker and less expensive to do the replacing of the whole control arm. I look forward to video #2 and the reassembly of everything. Thanks again for another great video...and another Lauren/Wife Unit cameo.
I like your "time keeper" Dave, closing the doors, indicating it's end of day. Cool!
They don't make them like that anymore. That's a good truck, worth fixing.
Thanks for sharing your video with the free world and possibly the other less free parts .
Good morning Dave, Lauren and Ray. It's good seeing teamwork going into getting the job done.
It was great seeing Dave work. Hopefully he will be in more videos.
Speaking of Amsoil, I saw an oil filter review with a flow test stand and Amsoil's oil filters filtered dirt to a smaller size (20 microns) was 0/Zero passthrough and it flowed cold oil @32F at a higher flow rate than several other top name brand filters including Mobil 1 and K&N oil filters. So Amsoil kicks butt on oil quality and oil filters !
ROFL Dave saying loud noises OMG too funny
I'm just a scrub, so I really enjoy your underside rebuild videos because I don't have many opportunities to view cars from a rack
Good morning to Dave and Ray love the team work 😊
Another great demonstration of Ray's escalation of violence against stubborn pieces!
😂😂😂
Love your videos.
It's almost like a dream having another competent mechanic working along side you.. that never happens to me, its always people trying to fight the part out instead of removing the 2 bolts holding something in the way.
It's good that Dave is there to help
Another great vlog Ray and nice to see the wife unit.
I am a Ford fan. The 4.6 is ( my opinion) the best engine ford has in use today. Wish we could go back to the big 460 s
Great Video
I don't ever want to be one of those Reeeeee people but from the valve cover and the exhaust manifold that I saw, that looks like the 4.6L instead of the 5.0. Excellent video as always!
Good to see you & Dave double-team up on tear down
Lauren, the time you freaked Ray out with the do de do phone ring was great! If you could just blast that once in a while and lock yourself in the office 😂
Good morning Ray, it’s 5:12 am here in England.
That's a 4.6 v8. The 5.0 was discontinued after 2001.
Man there's always such good tunes on the radio there!
Lift locks. The first time I did an oil change at the gas station I worked at I didn't know about lift locks. As the work progressed, I thought I was growing because the bottom of the car kept getting closer to my head.
Man I love doing a marathon of watching I used to have a mechanic job
Nice to see Dave working with you on camara.
Nice Ray. Pretty big job
Hey Ray and Dave! Good work guys. No spicy nuts today! And definitely should have cranked that Pantera "WALK" song that was on the radio. Have a good day guys, see you on the next one
I think Dave is a brilliant addition to the channel, He will be so good for the channel going forward. He doesn't make a load of fuss or noise but so very capable. Ray, I hope you realise this. Love the channel.
No rear pinion seal?
I love watching the tear downs and I can’t wait for the rebuild😊
You guys sure make it look easy , that's when you know experience is at hand .
It never ceases to amaze me how the Ford engineers seem to go, the most difficult way to place, their nuts, bolts, or equipment under the hood. And I am a Ford guy.
Nice job Ray, I just watched the short you made about investing in new parts instead of more dealear financing for a new vehicle. I recently had my year 2000 Toyota Avalon motor re gasketed and a new water pump as it has 150,000 and was starting to weep fluids. You have a wonderful platform and I appreciate that you take the time to put out content that is relevant to many of us who don't run to the dealer for much !!!!😊
Since last time a said you made a mistake this time I'll give you a I love your videos and thanks for your educational service
It's great to see that Rays shop is a full on partnership with Wife Unit. That decision to strike out on his own looks better every day
2:00 I was really anticipating ray to be singing along I don’t know why 😂😂😂
More places should film vehicle inspections when coming in for work. It would go a long way with customers to reassure them that the mechanic is being honest about the work that needs to be done. Not that they have to worry about that with your shop.
Reeeeeeeeeee there’s no drama in this episode!😂
Side note- Dave’s exactly what the shop needed, besides Ray having a target to throw empty canisters at!😁
+ 1 Dave! 😉👍
The driver's side knuckle nearly hitting the floor was some drama. That's about it for Ray's videos these days!
I also agree - Hi Dave!!
@@robert-ne1835 I said it to myself, that hanger looked sketchy!😂
And it dropped, Murphy’s law is always in play, …and that is why I watch the channel whilst drinking a beer. I live vicariously through RRR , part of my morning daily routine and a bonus on the weekends!😉
It’s good to see Dave in more videos. He seems to be more comfortable to be on camera and with you and your sense of humor. He seems to be a professional and experienced mechanic. I hope he stays with you as your business grows and becomes increasingly successful.
