To watch a great mechanic do a diagnostic on any vehicle is awesome for people who wonder what it takes to figure it out. It should open their eyes a little. The parts cannon is a substantial amount of money that dealerships love to do! Narrowing it down saves cost! Merry Christmas to the Rainman Rays repair family!
Merry Christmas from the Tosis. Thanks for all you did for us in 2024, Ray, Lauren, and Eric. (And to all the RRR subs who left comments and well wishes for us on various videos - thank you all!)
Neighbor had the same issue with his kia Sephia, of course couldn't get a new canister, so we cut some small holes in it, emptied it, went to the pet store bought a bunch of charcoal filter media for salt water tanks, filled it up JB welded the holes put it back on. The car last we talked he said has 450k miles+ on it and has no issues during fill ups 10 years later.
@mattabbey9190 yeah, it was like brand new under there. Maybe we people of the north should press the authorities to devise a better way of keeping our roads clean in the winter, like heated concrete lol. As advanced as our country is, there has to be a better way that does not destroy millions of cars.
People who overfill their tank by trying to get the the nearest whole number are going to eventually have this issue because it gets in the evaporator system and causes this to happen.
No charcoal canister on my 1996 Dodge Turbo Diesel so I always fill it to the brim so I can keep accurate fuel economy measurements. The only time I don't is when the fuel is too foamy.
Yes, A Vapor Canister/Purge Vapor Valve is not Designed to Vent Liquid Gas, I tell everyone to not Pack their Gas Tank with Gas, when Pump Shuts off--STOP FILLING--most do not understand...
Gas gets all bubbly when it's pumping, once it clicks off, give it like 10-15 seconds to stop bubbling, then go once more till it clicks again. Haven't had an issue in the 15ish years I've been driving and the 300k or so miles I have driven/filled up, work vehicles included.
@@ZerotheWanderer I do similar when I need to do a complete fill up for a very long drive, I listen for the gurgling in the filler pipe to stop, then I put more in. Been driving about 50 years (yeah I know older cars didn't have this issue).
I'm going to have to disagree with you, I recently purchased a new Toyota Camry SE and the car is extremely well designed and manufactured. It's an absolute dream to drive and these suspension and steering parts are made extremely well. That's what's great about Toyota, they do not up and change their designs for no reason. They continue to make things better. I personally believe a lot of its has to do with the standards and practice laws in Japan.
They just need to keep chaging the timing belt. Those old 1st gen long beds are kinda rare i think also never go north the second that frame sees rusting factors....
Rainmans repairs... We prove our diagnosis.. show n tell em time! I enjoy these deep dives.. yep gotta swap parts.. but here is the why of it! Great job Ray!
Im creating a crab stuffed manicotti dish with a nice salmon/bacon sauce for Christmas Eve dinner. I left a drawer open and accidentally backed into it. Got my Christmas goose early. Merry Christmas to The Rain clan and all the people watching and stuff.
Merry Christmas to You and Yours Ray. I appreciate the content while I was recovering from 2 knees and an open ankle fracture. May the Almighty give you peace and Blessings.
To change charcoal canister: 1- Remove bed. 2- disconnect hoses and wires 3- From underneath, remove mounting bracket To install: 1- Reinstall canister and mounting bracket 2- Reconnect hoses and wires 3- Reattach bed
Merry Christmas! I remember that if I saw an evap code it was either a loose/bad gas cap or evap canister assy. I liked the fact that Toyota consolidated everything into one.
Ray - Just an FYI but old office chairs work great for working underneath vehicles when up on the lift as the back rest gives good support for the back. The only problem is that if you lean back for very long and close your eyes you can fall to sleep easily, maybe that is just me! LOL Wishing you and the wife unit and kids a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year and to all here !
Its not cold, currently sitting at 23. It was a little cool Saturday and Sunday, -9 on Saturday, -18 on Sunday, -3 yesterday... not bad. But it is snowing... YYYEEESSSSS! 🙏💜
Merry Christmas. This is for all those people who think that today’s mechanics are just parts replacers. Very interesting tutorial on system diagnostics.
I'm glad that you finally admitted to drinking schmoo. It's so much simpler to just admit it and then when crap falls into the cup, it was already schmoo and no damage was done.
When you turned on the vacuum I cracked by your surprise reaction. I live in the Big Bend of the forgotten coast here in Florida and I really enjoy your videos and wish I was closer to you to be my mechanic. Merry Christmas to you and your family and worker’s.
Ray the part with large hose and 7 pin connector was the vaper leak detection pump. The vapor canister purge valve (vent valve) has a 2 pin connector and 2 small hose ports (5/16, 8 mm).
For some odd reason Toyota had a problem with the charcoal canisters for years and it's cheaper to replace then buying the purge valve , great video Ray and Merry Christmas to you and the family, as Justin and Dave.
Merry Christmas Ray to you, family and team at the shop. Has been an entertaining and educational year following you. Wishing you all the best for the New Year from Oz
Thank you ray you have kept me from losing the will to live my life is chaos and I see everything going down the drain nomatter how hard i try it's good to see someone winning in what they do and being straight about it, keep doing what you do bud 👍👍👍
Merry Christmas to you, Lauren, the fam, and the crew at the shop! 🎄🎄🎄Appreciate another year of fantastic comment, quips, learning, having to buy tools for my garage when I see clever things on your videos, etc. Best wishes from our fam!
Since you said 2 gallons for $6.50 it made me think about back in the day when we could fill up my friends motor cycle for . 50. .50 cents, man I am yearning for back in the day...

$3.20 a gallon for gas... must be nice! Here in California, I just drove by my local station and noticed the price had dropped below $5 a gallon for the first time in a long, long time. Merry Christmas!
Pressurize the flex line to 20-30 psi and then heat it. The pressure will push out the now pliable tube. Once it cools, line the inside with a spring to prevent collapse again.
Middle finger on you for the sunny and warm weather in FL... i live in montreal quebec canada and we got over 6 to 8 inches overnight after 2 very cold days of -18 and -20C hahaha. Have a nice day ray.
Cope and seethe 😂😂 Got back to the house about 2 hours ago after taking the dogs for a walk on the beach.I am now troubleshooting my lawn sprinkler system.I've got two heads that won't pop up anymore. Meanwhile there is a beautiful key lime pie being made in the kitchen as we speak. Seriously though Merry Christmas to everyone and I hope you all have a great holiday season!

I'm always amazed at seeing the underside of these Florida vehicles, the lack of road salt makes everything an absolute pleasure to work on.
I was thinking the same thing - I'm from New England and every one of these I've ever seen is a total rot box! This truck is very clean.

I thought the same.
@@donniev8181there is a city in Japan that does have heated streets. Don't know the details of how it works, seems to me like I heard steam??

This is what happens when you try to get more gas in your tank after it is clicked off the first time.

That truck is the real deal. The owner should never sell that thing. It will last forever! They don’t make them like that anymore!

I listen to Ray at 1.5 speed … so it’s always coffeee!!!! day.
Same here.
Rainmans repairs... We prove our diagnosis.. show n tell em time! I enjoy these deep dives.. yep gotta swap parts.. but here is the why of it! Great job Ray!
Oh man, you guys down in Florida make me completely green with envy. The underside of that truck was like mint. I'm from the great white North Canada.
You should do what my parents and I did mate - come to Australia
first thing i thought when he went under that truck ... it was spotless ......im also in the great white rust bucket north

Thank you Ray. Merry Christmas to you and your family and crew.
Thank you for a real world experience. The diag sequence, the casual informed ,narration, the educational points, just
w ell done sir.

2- disconnect hoses and wires
3- From underneath, remove mounting bracket
To install:
1- Reinstall canister and mounting bracket
2- Reconnect hoses and wires
3- Reattach bed
That would be any American truck.And of course that's just the tip of the iceberg
Merry Christmas to you all!!!!!
Much love from the tip of the mitten state!!

catching the vaccum blowing the charcoal everywhere was top entertainment
Thank you for the gifts with my coffee

You can have that. It reached 75° here today.

Early Christmas gift, a nice long Rainman Ray's video.
Always fun watching a mechanic vacuum up his mess.
Merry Christmas Ray and Lauren, to your family and team!
My Olds Cutlass Supreme had a rusted filler neck. It was leaking pretty bad and fixed it myself. Thank you Rainman!
I'm glad that you finally admitted to drinking schmoo. It's so much simpler to just admit it and then when crap falls into the cup, it was already schmoo and no damage was done.

7:30 area a great time to explain the dangers of vapor at the fuel station. Many don't realize how dangerous a simple thing can be .👍✌
Merry Christmas to you, wife unit, the little ones, Dave and Justin.

Context is extremely important when diagnosing a problem, especially when working on intermittent issues. The more information you can get from the customer, USUALLY, the better, but it's good to remember that it is just information and only part of the puzzle.
Merry Christmas Buddy, hope you and your family have a good one!!!
Happy Holidays Ray and family!
You and your family have a Merry Christmas
Congratulations on 600K. Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄

Hi and merry Christmas to you and your family
$3.20 a gallon for gas... must be nice! Here in California, I just drove by my local station and noticed the price had dropped below $5 a gallon for the first time in a long, long time.
Merry Christmas!
$3.20 is high. Love's a mile away from is $2.66 right now.
Merry Christmas Ray!
Merry Christmas to you Ray,Lauren,Dave and Justin! Have a great day!
Nice hose/tube restoration, Rainman.
Merry Christmas to you and your family Ray
Let's see, four distinct season or Florida....
Yeah, gonna go with the seasons thing.
Merry Christmas from the “Blonderosa” in sunny South Carolina.

Personal prob.

Got back to the house about 2 hours ago after taking the dogs for a walk on the beach.I am now troubleshooting my lawn sprinkler system.I've got two heads that won't pop up anymore. Meanwhile there is a beautiful key lime pie being made in the kitchen as we speak.
Seriously though Merry Christmas to everyone and I hope you all have a great holiday season!
Team work makes the Dream work.
It just nice and cold. Snowy and FUN!!!👹
i dont like the cold these days, but after always living in maine it just would not feel right with warm temps and no snow around Christmas time.
Emotional distress over an engine cover. Yeesh. People are jerks. Glad you won.
