One thing I have learned from Rainman is patience..(edited) A couple years back, I would have given up completely but as I am watching Ray work away at a hidden unreachable nut with no swearing and sweating, I do not feel the need to turn off this video because of blood pressure issues. You the man, Rainman Ray. Love your videos and want to wish you the best in 2023.
Next you need to learn how to spell! Patients? Try patience! Patient's are people who see a doctor- patience is something you learn!
@@genehasenbuhler2594 you beet me to the shade!! 😎 See what I did there? 😃
Yes, I can spell that too. Stupid spell check. I have no patience for that . I stand corrected. lol
@@SMELLGOODER I see! Not clever! Rather stupid on your part!
@@SMELLGOODER very good. what are you a spell check grammar nazi? Have a Happy New Year.
I spent my entire lunch break watching you work on a car. Now I gotta get back to work and work on cars. Much more fun watching you work through.
This is why I don't like those signs at the mechanics that say they charge extra for watching.....you know we all want to... :)
Wishing Rainman and Family a prosperous, healthy, happy 2023!
I did not know those coils came apart. These surprise bits of knowledge you provide help out at the most unexpected times. I have a friend that asked me why I have to have my morning cup of Ray and I tell him I never know what I might learn next.
"morning cup of Ray"
On my Toyota you can actually just buy the boots so you don't have to replace the whole coil. One of mine was pretty brittle so when I pulled off the boot a chunk of plastic from the coil broke off. I just plastic welded it back together because I was too cheap to buy a new coil and it works fine.
Ray has this amazing ability to post a video right as I'm about to go and do that one chore I have been putting off all day 😂😂 now while I'm supposed to be under my car changing a sensor, my ADHD ass will sit and watch a random Florida man fix cars 🤣
Love ya Ray!
I do recall advice my grandad gave me, a mechanic and workshop foreman for over 40 years,
1. Never rev up an engine and then shut it off.
2. Leave an engine to idle for a few seconds or up to a minute (longer if towing or doing heave work loads) before shutting off (saves the turbo and prevents oil starvation, also settles down high temperatures)
3. On an automatic, put into neutral, then put on the hand brake (parking brake for our USA chums) and then put into park. (Stops loading and strain on the transmission)
🤣🤣
Well, I like Florida Man news and Ray's Florida Man Repairs. The right to fix is important. Ray really knows his trade. Guys like him are very rare.
I need to be working on my truck as well
@@oogabooga2476 theres a CLUB!???
This reminds me of the proctigist surgeon who decided he wanted a new trade, so he decided to become a mechanic, the instructor gives him a test,
When he was done with the car he gets in and starts it up, it runs perfectly, the instructor said he passed the test, but he was super impressed that he rebuilt the motor through the tailpipe.
I heard it was an OB/GYN!!
And with the engine running! Lol
Love the Wife Unit Tee ! I guess people who think it's disrespectful never watched Coneheads!
I hate mosquitoes and wasps as much as you. I appreciate you my friend!
You ain't having fun until a water moccasin comes out of a tire. Lucky for me the owner was standing right behind me when it happened and he didn't even slow me down.
A rattlesnake inside my van made me stop in the road and jump out. Somebody called 911 and a deputy showed up. She called the fire dept and they sent their rattlesnake catching fireman. It took all of 30 seconds for him to get the snake in a pillowcase.
Learned a trick when I worked at Nissan. Through that gap in the intake the coil will come out as a whole. Spin it around so the connector part faces the back and it’ll come out. It’s tight for sure but it’ll make it.
I was thinking that taking the air intake would be easier but after reading a few comments it sounds like it's more of pain in the ass to remove the air intake just for the coils.
Wow your shop is growing at light speed. Can’t believe how fast word got out, you have a great place to get things done right….
Funny.. my wife doesn't watch your videos, but I do so often she has picked up things you say. I walked into the kitchen the other morning to get more coffee. Well "my" wife unit had the pot of coffee and said "pouring things" while putting some in her mug! 😆
"Two fingers, work them back and forth.....try and get my thumb in there!! "
I spat my tea out then, my partner was nearly crying.
Happy New Year Ray xx
When the "book" or someone says it has to be done this way my brain immediately begins to question the logic. Just because it's challenging doesn't mean you can't and a good challenge is way more satisfying when accomplished. Do not forget to have yourself (family unit also) a great new year 👊
When I were a 'prentice back in te day training in a big company, there was the way they taught total idiots to do the job, that was foolproof, and needed to be. And there were all the 'guidance of wise men' understanding that enabled one to do it faster if one knew how.
Disassembling/reassembling those coils is for wise men only.
Same on my 99 Sienna. Book says you have to pull the intake manifold. I did it without it. Definitely tight but I think there is more room than on this car. If you are doing the plugs it is more difficult because you have to get an extension to fit. Luckily Toyota put the coils on the front three cylinders and just runs a wire to the rear so coil replacement is super easy.
Hey Ray, that Frontier is like night and day from when you started it. Also love the progress you've made on Project Jeep. That has been an interesting series to follow. Keep up the great work. Cheers!
If I attempted that job my neighbors would be running inside covering their ears. You are a patient man.
As an observer from old Germany, I wish you, your wife and your children a prosperous New Year 2023....
My 4 cylinder Camry gives me reason to enjoy working on it. (Ease of replacement, cost of parts)
You Got that Right on a 4 cyl. Toyota, my wife's Lexus 350 is not that easy to work on...
Greetings from Finland and happy New Year to You and your family!
I watch all your videos and I have learned a lot about handeling tools in and around my car.
Keep on making good work and thank You that You are sharing us good tips to service our cars.
Points for sticking with it . Not certain it was the least painful way, but it was the principal of the whole thing. I get it. Even though you could have removed the intake and done it in the less frustrating manner, you stuck with it and did it your way. Congrats for being bullheaded..and winning!
I have lost count in the 1960s when i used to get this problem on my mini and no matter what i did it always re appeared after i had renewed everything but the mini's where prone to getting water on the engine thanks for the video and have a great new year for you and your family
Perseverance, patience, and determination and a few words that describe Ray's work ethnic. And I thought I was the only one who says please and thank you to a car when I'm struggling to remove or fit parts! Phew!!!!!
I love the fact we now get to see full projects. And the customers seem to be nicer too; not rejecting necessary work cos the 'desk' don't know how to do their job.
he discounted the bill to make the filming.
The people behind the desk are there to make money but people have go wise to there plan and reject any further work
Yessir boys! I got the shop completely cleaned out yesterday to end my week, and for the next 2 days I will be a fishin technician. Last weekend it was 7 degrees, this weekend mid 60's. Here kitty kitty kitty!!!
I used to cheat on bolts like that. I'ld get my sons when they were young enough and still small enough to get their small hands in places like that😁
Great bonus video with Project Jeep! I'm totally ready for the wall delete video! The current shop config feels a bit cramped IMO.
Nice to see Wife Unit wearing Wife Unit merch that was designed by Wife Unit 😂. Happy New Year to you and your family, Ray! 🎉
Thanks for being there in 22. Learned a lot. Looking forward to 23
you know thats everthing allright when wife units shines at you everytime she appproaches. :)
I really LOVE how you make us feel like we are actually helping. Love love love your videos Ray! I have a similar issue on my VW 2.0 4cly. TG it has a single coil pack + wires!
Happy new year to you and your family ...from your mates in Australia !
I like that you specifically mention when not sponsored, it shows that you trust that product.
Where there is a will and long fingers, there is a way. Happy New Year's!
Happy New Year Ray, Wife Unit, and family. 🍾🥂 Here’s to a good 2023 with more tools and spa days for the Wife Unit. 👍🏻
Ray, great video. It’s nice that you cut the customer a break but remember you need to keep your family and business going. Thanks again for your amazing channel!😊
yep. my day has started. taking a dump watching Ray.
Morning from Scotlandshire! Love it!
Get yourself an assortment of different sized neoprene fuel line (used on motorcycles) and slip it over the head of those hard to reach bolts to turn them out and in.
My granddaughter has one of these trucks that will need this service. Glad to see that the intake doesn't have to be removed !
Same scenario on my Durango. I had a new long block installed last year and the original, 20 yr old coils were used. I just changed them all last week and 😲 I had no idea my truck could run so smoothly
A nod to The Count.... LOVE IT!
Happy New Year ray to you and your family. Also to all the subscribers and viewers
Ray and Lauren and kiddos. I hope you all have a very Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year! Best wishes to you!
Obviously I like your video's... I keep watching them. 🙂
Your comment about billable hours reminded me of thoughts I've had. I work in a CNC Lathe shop. For 5 years I was the estimator. To make it simple it's time on our machines (the type of CNC determines the cost per hour) + Material + Any outside ops + Markup = Price to charge the customer.
Obviously our intent is to be competitive yet make a reasonable profit. Trying to prove that our price is real turns out to be a fools errand (though I hear people think it can be done). Time on the machine is important... it's how we schedule for several weeks of production and not over-promise / under-deliver. But the actual cost of that time has so many possible variables it's not possible to account for all. You would literally have to add the cost of trying to know to the cost of the job and you will always have a moving error rate.
In the end how you charge needs to accomplish a few things. Be competitive enough to get work. Get paid enough to cover the cost and earn enough profit to make it all worthwhile and to re-invest in the company. If you create a pricing system that can accomplish that then that's a pretty decent system. Too many times I watch people spend time worrying how "accurate" their pricing system is and chase weird avenues that are fruitless, have variation they don't know about, and they fiddle around thinking they can fix it when usually they simply make it more complex without any improvement or they make it worse.
.. and you also have to add in the cost of the person who is costing the job..
.. headache..😵💫
Great video Ray as usual !
I've used a little silicone spray on sticky exhaust hangers to assist in removal and installation.... works like a champ!
We used it for all kinds of stuff, like little windows in passenger side doors of International trucks. If you locked yourself out you could take the glass out reach in and unlock it. Spray silicone on the rubber to get the glass back in. It was a regular occurrence.. if spell check inserts any words I did not intend...so be it! Nothing to do with silly cones.
I just did spark plugs on my Duramax,they were not easy at all.I had to remove the timing rope cover,and the outake manifold.The dealership said diesels dont have vacuum,so I installed a wet vac in the bed and ran the hose up under the hood,much better now!The entire job took several minutes,but I managed to get it done.Kidding aside,thank you Ray and family and have a great holiday!
Personally, I like project Jeep. I have been watching a guy in Australia build an Alferrari for 3 years. (an Alfa Romeo with a Ferrari engine) Projects never get old to me. Keep up the great work.
Such a cheerful voice when faced with tricky task.
The Count, YES!! Now we need the "Word of the day" to go crazy over. Oh' just to let you know Ray, my 16y/o daughter has started saying "Gravity" it's awesome.
Great to see the Datsun purring like a kitten. Happy new year to you and your family from all in the land down under!!
I’m amazed at how Ray expresses concern that his viewers are able to see what he is doing.
All your videos are a joy to watch brings back my memories of working on the old HGVs, snowplow gritters and my own car
Fantastic video!
As the Xterra owner, I know that cylinder 1 coil can be pain in the ass to remove. I have done that without removing the intake, and while watching this video had a little satisfaction that the pro has a little trouble removing that damn coil. :) BTW, Eric at SouthMainAuto has another great video posted this week about changing thermostat and cleaning heater core in Frontier.
Happy New Year!
Between Ray and Eric, owners have quite a repair video library for their Frontiers.
Actually, you could get a new coil to fire through the boot as well, because it will seek the closest possible path to ground and when it is disconnected from the plug it will go through the boot to the head. Also you said the plugs were new, but you didn't check them for gap- a plug with too much gap will also force the spark to find a different path to ground. ( Don't rely on the skill of a previous mechanic). But, if the customer is OK with all new coils, then it is a good insurance against future problems.
Saw where the boots were torn and spark was leaking through the tears, will a new coil just random fire through a new boot ? Doesn't seem likely...
@@sparksalot4950 Watching the original video you can see that one of the boots was really bad- spark going everywhere- the others were sort of marginal- Yes a new coil will fire through the boot if it has no other good path to ground.
My own 2004 Frontier and my 1998 Frontier both have the 2.4 liter engine, so much easier to access stuff (and a timing chain instead of a belt). Those each have a distributor and typical spark plug wires.
I SOOO needed the "COUNT" and the zen calm to end the year. Thanks Ray. I miss the doodley doodley doo. What about the trains in the background, Chooo choooo!?
Hi Ray, just wanted to send an Australian Happy New Year mate. I wish you, the wife unit and the tribe have a safe, happy, prosperous and healthy 2023.
Happy New Year to you and your family, as you start the year before us. From Longwood, Florida I wish you only the best. 🌴🎊🎉
You should definitely bill the customer at least 2hr. That's what will help out shop, 2hen things don't go right or when troubleshooting takes longer then it should. It all adds up, and the customer still getting it done cheaper then expected.(win/win for everyone)
Ray! Great video. I recently changed coils and plugs on my ‘06 4.0 Pathfinder. Bad part… I don’t have a Time Machine. Good part… new gaskets and found other stuff, like split hoses and a spark plug dropped and left behind by the last guy on the exhaust heat shield (rattle, rattle, rattle 🤬) Thanks again!
Best instructions reader ever! 😂 ”put that piece on that piece, got it” 🤣🤣🤣👍🏻
Nice work man some times that bit of effort with the flanjies is a win win for both your work and the customers pocket, been there a few times. I hope 2023 brings you much success 😎
Very nice work on both vehicles. That was really an easy exhaust install with the lift and your skill.
Always nice not having to remove a intake to do coils or spark plugs when there is just enough room for ya fingers to get the bolt removed and installed @Rainman Ray's Repairs
Well, I've learnt something today, with those coils coming apart like that. I know that we don't have the touchy feely feedback of feeling them click back together for that proper connection.
As a former 4wder, when I see you fit those first 2 clamps on the exhaust, straight away I could see that they could get damaged by hanging lower than the muffler in an off road adventure, instead of clamping them on from the side as with the 3rd clamp.
I wouldn't know if this jeep goes off road at all, but that is how I think if I'm fitting parts.
Thank for being so interesting and entertaining, Ray. Happy New Year to you all.
Yknow what you need for that last bolt for the coil? A super low profile version of those little ratcheting wrenches 😅 I have no idea if thats what they are actually called lmao!
Worst one I ever saw was a 2004 Audi A8L had a misfire with a flashing engine light and the guy drove it way too long, it was over 5K to replace the cats and three coils and eight spark plugs. It taught me if that light is flashing shut it down, if it comes on get it checked. You the man Ray!!!
Since you don't have the phone ringing loud anymore, you could make the choo choo sound when the train goes by lol! Good video! Thanks for sharing!
Happy new year to you and your family, Ray!
Love your video's!
11:53 - Ray at least has the common courtesy to give that coil the reach-around.
Happy New Year and thanks for the smiles you put on my face
Happy New Year, Ray, to you, to the wife unit and family. Thanks for your videos and the information you provide. Keep charging forward !!!
It's amazing how you can get the camera into such tight spots so we can see. When I'm working on a car I can barely see what I'm doing. Kudos on your video skills!
Just turned 2023 here in NZ, So Happy New Year Ray; all the best to you and your family have a safe New Years and roll on 2023, can't wait to see what the new year brings to the business
I still have to wait 1 hour and 10 minutes before it’s 2023
Thank you for another great video. You display the perfect example of being persistent. Great job.👍
I am all ready to see the "Heavy Duty Lift" moved to its new (straight on) position when that concrete wall, and the ceiling, get removed !! Happy New Year 🥳 RRR - Since 2022 🧰🛠
I hope the New year will bring you a lot of Joy. Be happy , and keep on going with good job you make. Happy new year Ray.
I noticed your dielectric grease wasn’t just regular grade but “technician grade”. Fancy!
I truly don’t understand why Nissan made most of their VQ-series V6 hard to work on. Toyota is known for doing this to their V6 engines well with the intake manifold covering one cylinder bank. Why is Honda the only one of them that don’t design their intake manifold like this?
Their partnership with Renault. Ever worked on a Renault? It's like taking up gynaecology! So much of that Nissan stinks of French.
Guess? Because engineers don't have to work on what they design.
@@billchmelik5697 "French engineers - it will work for 100,000 kms, then it will fall apart, Haw he haw he haw, the computers will fail out of warranty and zut alors, the wiring? We will make it out of biodegradable plastique"
When it comes to firing the parts cannon, call me a battleship. If that Nissan intake is coming off, all spark plugs and ignition coils are going to be replaced! Parts are cheap, my time is expensive.
The meme “ Copy my homework but don’t make it too obvious” comes to mind 😂
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL. Ray's usual great video. AND--- It will be so nice to see that wall come down and your workspace increase.
I have done the job on the hard bolt, and I am getting high blood pressure just from watching it again. I am glad it's over. It took me little time to get the bolt off, I used an extension that wobbles. But getting the bolt on was a pain.
When you first started working on project Jeep, I thought it was a hunk of junk ready for the scrap heap, but since you've fixed it all up, I'm getting emotionally attached to it. I'm actually gonna miss her when you give her back to the owner. Maybe you and the owner could do an off-road video with it.
Great to see Wife and kids in the shop. Best wishes with the new endeavor, looks to off to a great start. Have a wonderful New Year, and everyone stay safe.
Behind every successful man is a wife unit.
3:35 - Ray harnessing the power of Force Lightning.
Thanks for sharing your time
4:10 The unwanted Force Lightning mod.
Morning zee Ray ! Glad to see things are going swimmingly . .the Nissan is in good handz ! Hi wife Unit !!
Love the show!! Tampa Bay Buccaneers fan from Jonesborough, Tennessee!! 🤟🤟
Muffler sounds pretty good on that little exhaust kit @Rainman Ray's Repairs
Don't need to replace the coils - you can buy new insulator boots for them (assuming you can remove the originals).
Yeah I don't know why he did that. Much more expensive
With 110k miles on those coils, it's smart to replace them. One of them failed already and was replaced, probably should have done the others at that point.
Awesome job Ray. Nice you can pass savings to your customer. Looking forward to more jeep and shop expansion video.
I was up most of the night and I decided to watch pro jeep. I’m stunned at the amount of work that has been done on it. If it was me I would have scrapped it bye now thank goodness I’m not in to cars I prefer tractors and farm vehicles that have to work on the land
Thanks for a great channel and videos. Have a very happy new year to you and your family.
12:50 no, we need more lumens
Your careful, conscientious reading of those instructions for the exhaust system install was hilarious. 😂 The Rainman does comedy!
Nice work Ray hope u and wife unit have a great new year
Ray, I hope you and your family units have a nice and shiny new year! 😀
How do you find the time to edit all the videos that you post? You are a MACHINE!

Would a “10 mm crows foot” worked any better?
The wall is coming down. Those that mean more space. Nice things are looking better and better. Good going Rainman.
You spoil us Ray, another download and on New Year’s Eve!😁
Enjoying it and having a few wobbly pops!
Happy new year everyone!🙂
You're a rare breed Ray. One of the few honest mechanics left in this world.
