"Words. WORDS! Things I want to say but cannot!" The most family channel mechanic ever (and we love you for it). Your restraint under pressure is admirable. Don't worry. Us veteran construction workers more than make up for any colorful verbs and adjectives you are forced to repress.
We are not complaining. We get hit by ratchets, back of the hand, lights drop on us... you name it. Our ears bleed from loud noises and we get drenched. All this we endure happily to watch your work :)
Ear bleeds? Jeez. I'll remember ear protection.
You haven't lived until you've been near a power station boiler when a tube leak happens.
@@hellomyfriends9740 ear bleeds from turning head while using grinder in lieu of safety glasses, not from loud noises.
Good thing OSHA don't know.😆😆😆
Im already deaf but my ears would probably still bleed from the noise
On the parking brake we actually got to see the proverbial other shoe drop 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Ray's quote of the day "I've been a mechanic for 15 years. Eventually I'll figure out how to do this".
LOVE the new intro! Especially the part with the repairs falls off and you say gravity.
It's the same team song Paul Joseph Watson use in his outros.
Should end with a can of brake cleaner popping up and the jump scare cue.
The shadows on the face need a little work.
That new intro is awesome Ray
Sounds like an 80's Arnold Schwarzenegger movie
Seeing the tiny people unit in the shop warms my heart. That's one thing you would have never had working for other people. The kids will remember these times fondly when they get older.
My dad used to work construction and mostly out of town. I'll never forget when I was 5 and he got me from kindergarten and took me to a jobsite with him to pickup something from a local job he was on. It was something so casual to him, but meant the world to me getting to see what dad did.
Indeed
always important to expose the little ones to the many toxic automotive fluids found on the shop floor builds up their tolerances to poisonous materials making it safer for them. who wouldn't let their child belly ride a shop stool after all how many sharp medal edges can be around to slam their little head into. if you think about it the odds of that jack slipping allowing the rear spring to go flying with his daughter ten feet from it must be in the millions hardly worth considering really. Ray and the wife unit have my vote for redneck Florida hillbilly parents of the year. all hating aside, do you really think it is a good idea to let a child run around playing in a workplace environment?
My dad was a diesel mechanic who worked his way up from the shop floor to shop manager for Cummins back in the day. By the time I was 8 or 9, he was the service manager and if he had to go in on Saturday or Sunday for some reason, he let me tag along. One of my favorite times was when there was a fire engine in one of the bays, and dad explained what all of neat machines and tools for servicing and rebuilding the big engines did. Sometimes there were a few guys working, and in a pinch dad would jump in and get his hands dirty if he needed to.
My dad ran a retread shop back in the 60's and 70's. He would take me to the shop with him on Saturdays. I loved that time and I still remember the smells. One thing I remember fondly is when they would receive a load of new tires. Dad would stand in the truck and roll the tires (like bowling almost) into the shop. There was a turn after a number of feet and when he threw the tires they would go around the corner to the guy waiting for them. That is one of the coolest things I have seen, even to this day. Those tires rolled like they were guided missiles.
I love kids and have nothing wrong with them at the workplace if you can give them your full attention. It's when you try to divide your attention to the job and kids is when things usually go sour.
the finger smash is something I Don't miss about working anymore lol
Just impressive how quickly Ray got his business going. Props!
For a good mechanic such as Ray word of mouth goes a long way 👌😎
Hope he got all the legality done,shop licences, insurance of all kind, business banking accounts,federal and state income tax withholding it go's on and on. Oh yah a lawyer and accountant.
Ran my own business for a long time unreal all the behind the scenes BS that must be done. I like his show and I hope all go's well. Not his first time in business so I think he has his ducks in a row.
When you're good at what you do, and you don't CHEAT people, then you attract the right kinds of customers and you enjoy the success you deserve.
From one entrepreneur to another - I salute you.
Ralph, right on. Then you hire someone that you think will do right then that person embezzles and puts you out of business. The owner needs to be on top of everything. Best of luck rainman. May 2023 and beyond be great for you and the family.
Like the new intro animation. Someone’s got too much spare time I see. Lol.
Or hired someone to make it…
Ray, you always do the right thing for the customer. Keep up the good that you do.
Really like the fact that your family is participating with your workday. It just shows how a small family business starts out and operates, and grows
Team family unit business , 😊.
You are probably right with the timing issue. My mom has a 2010 equinox and her tensioner wore through last year and threw a lot of the same codes.
Watching your daughter riding the rolling chair is precious. Oddly, it reminded me of my co-worker's coffee cup which said, "Sometimes the best part of my day is having a chair that swivels." Haha
My buddy has a cup on his desk at work that says “Sometimes the best part of my day is that my chair spins” nobody ever understands it nobody has humor at his workplace
People have lost humour, try telling a joke to a 30 yr old😂
@@Smarterthanyou-mthrfkr Yeah, see how fast you get "Ok Boomer."
The intro is a nice touch, man. It's a keeper
This is a VERY familiar feeling video, considering I spent the last several months fighting rusty GM undercar components on my 08 Uplander minivan. All the stuck parts, the seized bolts and nuts, and WOW the crustiness of things. Reciprocating saw definitely got a workout in my workshop this year. In Oklahoma now so hopefully it won't ever get that way again, and now that everything (well almost everything, still gotta do rear hubs and shocks) is done, it'll be easier to do next time if there needs to be a next time for all those parts.
It's good to see that you struggle a little bit with the fixing that stuff here lately everything I try to fix on my vehicle is just a big pain in the butt.
That is one of the best suv's for mechanics. Always keeping your local mechanic lights on.
Ray, I really appreciate your care of the customers car. Real professional work at the new shop.
Love the videos. I just had to reset the reluctor wheel on my 2013 Chevy Captiva. We drilled a small hole and put in a roll pin. Keep the videos comin man. I learn something new every video.
Freshly new and operational parts fitted. NICE! Hope Mr. Fingy is feeling better.
Your daughters reaction to the "loud noises" was priceless.
Good luck Ray with the new endeavor. Looks to be coming along pretty good so far.
If I still lived in the Tampa area I would look you up for my auto repair needs.
Unfortunately I now live in SC.
Ray, when your body has had enough manual labour, apply to schools and teach. You are a natural at teaching 👍❤️.
Ray, I love the new intro. Very well done and I laughed when the "Repairs" sign fell off.
You're crack'in me up Rainman !!!
That intro is lit !
Can't wait to see the timing chain replacement on that equinox ya know it's coming
OK, when the Daughter Unit reacted to the loud noises by dropping to the floor and exiting the AO quickly, I had to laugh. That girl has excellent infantry skills!
She needs her own shop chair for Christmas.
I going to steal that line from you “ Words, words the things I want to say but cannot. As a fellow diesel mechanic I get it and applaud your restraint. You inspire us to be better and I thank you.
Ray has the code cannon go off on him...
Funny intro :D
38:45 I think those of us that have suffered for our vocation/hobby have felt the pain there! Skinned knuckles, cut phalanges, shredded forearms, hammer gravity en route to a kneecap... and broken ribs in my case too...
usually i watch these videos and dont learn a lot but watching you diagnose electrical problems and also ac problems i have. so thank you. mostly i watch these just to hear you talk... i guess.
As a confirmed wrench-head, I enjoy watching your vids largely because I can see from them that some trials and tribulations aren't JUST ME! Many times I've had to stop in the middle of a repair and pray about my attitude towards engineers...
Me; I curse engineers to step on legos
Me too, I have to say I actually felt the finger smash!
Hey Ray! I like your outtro music. You are evolving the channel every day. I am liking the changes
I've used up five examples of the Chevy Equinox, three of them the six cylinder model. It's fun to watch you work on suspension parts that I am quite familiar with. My current vehicle specimen is the Acadia-flavor GMC.
You pinched your finger about 8 seconds after you said the hard part was over. You tempted Fate and she bit you. In any case I was relieved because based on the title of the episode I was petrified watching you raise the spring into position with the pea-fart jack. I'm really glad you are OK.😄 Best of luck with the new shop. You and your great family deserve it.
THE INTRO!!!!!!!!! YES lol
Smashed my finger once it hurt so bad I tried to scream but nothing came out for like 15 minutes then I used every word I could think of, nail turned black, took like a year before it was back to normal, I feel the pain, keep up the good work
Love the "dramatic" brake clean!
good to see that the wife unit is close by while doing the more risky repairs. Always gotta have the ambulance buddy close by.
Let's not be so pessimistic have a great day
I appreciate your endless array of lumen producers. And labor savers. When I was an active mechanic we only had air ratchets and clamp-on or hook hanged trouble lights.
Me too and I still have them have a great day
I have the magnetic rechargeable trouble lights and they are really handy to use. I’m just a home user and don’t have the amount of tools that Ray and others have but I do have a nice collection and take of them when I’m done using them.
Great intro video Ray! 😁😁😁 Edutainment at it's best!
Still waiting for the Jeep to be finished you're doing such a great job God-bless
Was a nice vlog Ray, nice to hear from you again.
Props for the intro Ray!!
Good to have the wife unit with you for this repair. There were many danger spots where injuries could have put you out of commission. Minor smashed fingers will not keep you down, but other injuries could and that is the worst part of being a one-man band. It is great to see you employing safe work practices. 👍
A friend of mine who worked alone had a heart attack at work and it took about a day for someone to stumble upon his corpse.
What are you saying , safe work practices>DUH...........oh what happened to your kid, she got her leg crushed under a tire.
@@kingtut5923 Yes no place for a child that young being given free rein (apparently) in in the actual work space....They can move so quickly, and with possible disastrous results....Please Ray, keep her in the office area. 🥺
@@johnhhinton5473 and kids are unpredictable and dont understand danger. With training it can be reduced. Means loads of yellow paint and Ray can start to teach child unit his knowledge.
Ray would find a reason to use brake clean, even if just installing a new radio in a car. I'm glad the new shop is working out for you!
Your shop is looking clean and organized.
I might be a little sick, but I enjoy watching you deal with just a smidgen of what I do on a daily basis in Michigan. I wish things came off the way intended. Usually for Michigan mechanics this is a rare occasion..lol torches are our best friend
My real mechanic son is so used to it that he yells at me for stealing his removed parts to wire wheel and paint them Clean and shiny, right? For him it’s just extra labor time. Torches, breaker bars, hammers and pry bars. Rust sucks up here.
Cup of Joe and an entertaining Rainman video to start the day! 👍🏼
Yes, I do the same ; )
It's always a good start to my day when the coffee is ready and I have a new RR video to go with it!
Coffee and Ray everyday makes my day have a great day
Me too brother
Those small propane torches from the hardware store work pretty good in a pinch. I keep one on hand. It's the ones normally used for plumbing copper pipes
Cute little apprentice. Electric tools make a big difference. Keep up the good work.
Your awesome dude. I watch nearly every video you make. It'd just refreshing to see a good honest mechanic work. I don't live anywhere near you I'm sure but thanks for doing a good job.
If you don’t already watch it. Check out south main auto. The guy Eric there knows his shit too especially when it comes to hunting down electrical issues
@I can’t Say what yea I watch him sometimes too. He's another real good one. I just find this ray guy's a little more entertaining, I'm not sure why but I watch this guy more.
I love seeing and hearing the kids in the shop... it reminds me of myself playing in the shop whilst my dad is fixing some cars... when I got old enough I had to fetch tools... then when I got older.. a cigarette... miss the good ol days. Good work Ray 👏 I commend you dear Sir...
I know from experience that suspension repair can be a real knuckle-buster. I have a LOT of respect for coil springs...
Reeeeee. So good to see the work rolling in the new shop!!!💪💪
You bet those finger knocks hurt. Worst part is how often you forget it just happened, and lightly knock it or squeeze it again.
Get well soon Ray!
Hello Again Ray, as I mentioned in an earlier Comment, your work can be dangerous and that's why I suggest that you never work totally alone. I suggest that you always have someone in the shop or your office who can come to your aid if you become seriously injured. I was glad to see that your wife was at the shop with you. Stay safe!
We are very happy for it to be a 2 hour video Ray sorry about your finger hope you don't loose your nail 😩👍
Great job. I felt your pain bro.
I'm at the 5:00 minute mark and this looks like the infamous GM V6 timing chain stretch issue. Let's see if that turns out to be the problem.
Oh we will lol
All of your videos are great and we learn a lot, just watching them.
Do you think that it would be a good idea to use assembly grease to prevent rusting up when assembling parts
Way to set the tone for the entire video with that foreshadowing at the beginning.
"Uh oh. Baby crying..."
👍
My father performed small engine repairs in the garage on his day off when not being a firefighter. I always enjoyed tagging along when he worked in the garage, or if he went to the fire station to pickup or drop off something - never on duty. He’s been gone over 40 years. I still miss him. But I remember tagging along with him.
You and the wife unit appear to provide sufficient oversight for the little people in/around your shop. One day, they will have fond memories of Dad wrenching, and how he managed to spend a few minutes with me (us). Your doing a good job, both with the business and the family. Happy New Year! May you be rewarded for your extra efforts to keep others safe, while protecting their investments in personal transportation.
Thanks for the videos. They provide a look at what mechanics go through and why the cost of repair is what it is.
nothings hurts more than a bite to the finger nail...especially near the cuticle.....that's the one thing I hate about impact wrenches, they have that snap back at the beginning or the end of the trigger pull...gotta watch out for those bites
@Rainman Ray's Repairs ty for your videos they are both funny and educational, enjoy them all and Wifeunit should help you more she does a good job 😁
When I replaced the wheel bearings on my 2011 Equinox, three of the eight bolts for the rear hubs broke off due to the lock tight that was on them. Great job.
I like the "instant cold packs"... It takes a minute or two, but you'll heal faster if you minimize the bleeding early on... Thanks for taking one for the team!
I felt the pain (oh what a feeling)
Best one I’ve ever done was hit my head on something sharp didn’t really bother me but didn’t know I was bleeding summer time so was also sweating people kept looking at me really funny like I figured had grease all over until other guys said think you need look in the mirror lol
It's enjoyable seeing that you're family is involved in your videos, my children are all grown up so they're not as cute as they used to be. Thanks for sharing.
agree with the commentation below about the familal units being present. good that the missus is there to handle fone and to call 911 in the unlikely case of accident - and the kiddos for the memories they will have as they grow. good job ray - keep on keeping on.
Can't wait to see what the timing issue is
No criticism but I wonder if it would be better to fix the engine problem first before installing all the other parts in case you find something fatal. I’ve had that happen with one of my junkers where after throwing a bunch of suspension parts into the car my mechanic found fatal frame rust. I wished he had found that first.
The engine isn't fatal, it's just stretched timing chains. Very common in 3.6 ltr alloytechs.
Seeing/hearing family in the video is priceless! You are blessed!
Am I watching Rainman Ray's Repairs on TH-cam or a big budget movie? The new intro is slick! You're a bigger man than I because there would have been a bunch of "BLEEPS" in my video. Love seeing the (or hearing) the family while you work. That's awesome...best part about going on your own. Thanks for sharing, can't wait to see what's next.
I realize most techs are on more of a time crunch, but for the rust belt guys out there...if you can see the threads sticking out from those hub bolts, clean/wire brush them as much as possible before trying to remove them. Those exposed threads(in my experience) are what keeps the bolts from being removed way more easily.
I use a good penetrating oil whenever I can have a great day
and heat most of the time :)
That plus some PB Blaster and a little patience.
Every person who's owned a power ratchet knows how that finger felt. I have the aircat 3/8 hi torque and it is lovingly called the wrist breaker, but I've found it to be more of a hand smasher
heey Ray first time responding to youre video's love youre work. also like like the fact that you starting youre own shop good luck on that. not sure if you already know this tip, but stil gonna tell you. if the wobly-bitt is too wobly i use soms paint-tape to make it less wobly. again good luck and keep the videos coming. greetz from the netherlands.🤙🤙
Nice to see one of Rays great old fashioned videos again.
TY Mate I felt that pain when the finger got crushed ouch! awesome too see your young apprentice has mastered the "lets roll the chair" part of her training as well 😄😄
Keep Safe Keep Strong 🦘🦘🦘🦘🎄🎄🎅🎅🎄🎄
Give her some bubble wrap to run over have a great day
I am in the UK and watch your channel all the time! Keep up the good work. Absolutely brilliant my dear fellow.
There is something satisfying about watching someone else work
When the loud noises took the baby out @31:38 I spit my coffee lmaoooo so precious and hilarious
Ray, I have always been very mechanically inclined but have never really ventured out into the DIY garage so to speak ( Don't have a garage). But with the cost of labor climbing rapidly for even small jobs like brake pad and rotor replacements on the 2011 Chrysler town and country turd , I have been doing my own repairs and saving a lot of money . You are an inspiration to people who can, but never bothered to try. Normally I would pay whatever price I was quoted for brakes or sensor replacements not knowing just how easy some of these jobs are. I'm not saying all repairs are easy, troubleshooting the issues is usually by far the hardest part over the wrenching. I think the biggest issue was trusting myself to do a job and do it right. So far I have changed out the thermostat, oil pressure sensor, rear brake pads and rotors, back up camera and changed out the plugs and coils. All of this possible due to watching your videos, even though you might not have done any work to my particular van the process is usually very similar and it lets me know what my limits are with a floor jack and some stands. I appreciate your efforts in filming everything you do , maybe one day you can get your micro units ( kids) to start filming the process for you so you can do those 2 handed jobs easier. Keep up the good work!
Love the new opening! It's awesome! Laughed at the gravity part! Keep being an awesome guy!
Ray. You have a process driven and logical mind. It is apparent by the way you undertake the repairs in a managed sequence. But looking at your tool trays and workbenches completely scattered with you tools in the most chaotic and untidy way makes my teeth itch! Love the uploads. Keep them coming. Try not show me the mess of your tools heaped everywhere!!
I love how your kid fall over after the loud noise cheers.
One of the only TH-camrs where I hit the Like button when the video starts ! ! !
Great content Ray ! ! !
There is a saying that a thing is not yours until it draws blood. I think this counts for the shop, it is now truly 'your place' :)
I hope this is the intro for every video in the future, or at least in some form similar. Fantastic.
Am I the only one that noticed wife unit said “green subscribe button” when she moved the lift up for ray?😂 love it
Just started the video and it seems like you might be doing a timing chain real soon !!! This was the 'golden age' of GMs chain issues, have fun!!!
I have the same feeling too hopefully nothing got damaged have a great day
as soon as the camshaft not plausible code popped i knew those timing chains were stretched.
Good morning Ray. I really love your broadcast. You sir are a very knowledgeable and detail oriented professional mechanic. If you lived here in Colorado I would definitely bring my vehicles to you. You have a beautiful family. Keep up the great work. From a 69 year old retired steel worker from Michigan who now lives in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
I'm a 69-year-old tool and die and mold maker living in Springfield Missouri have a great day
my 42 years every one of my kids have been on every body shop, used car lot and new car dealership i worked at. playing all day long and then cleaning up my messes. my youngest works with me today. has been for about 10 years. we have had a blast for all that time.
I'm also digging the new intro. Keep up the good work
Was quite happy to see you go out on your own Ray, I wish you the best of luck in your endeavors
Ray, keep up the amazing work! I love seeing the Family! Where else can you do what you love and have your loved ones in the same place?! You rock!
All of this Wednesday busyness has brought me to the grim conclusion that Tuesdays gone. aaaagain 🎸
Rainman Ray; the Mr. Beast of mechanic videos. Super star.⭐
