Start your long day with a fresh K-Cup of RRR premium blend coffee!
Our “Common Sense” brew of coffee is a medium roast (1/3 Java and 2/3 Brazil). It’s low acidity, full bodied, and has a kickin’ taste, and it just makes sense.* You might pick up on a caramel or chocolate taste with this one.
"Manic Morning” is our medium dark offering. (½ Java and 1/2 Kenya AA). Balanced sweet and bold, and higher acidity. This is the brew for those who like the taste of coffee, without adding tons of sweetener or cream!

”Intro Music by Karl Casey @ White Bat Audio”
Thanks to Jesse for making the intro and graphic for us to enjoy!!
What a breath of fresh air from Ray talking about viewers with no senses of humor. I liked that he called their bluff. Aw, you're offended? Then go somewhere else. Well played, Ray.
Exactly, a sense of humor has always helped me..... More people need one.
F-em if they can't take a joke.
Agreed
Replaced hundreds of those mounts. There is a body plug under the carpet to get to the top nut. We stick a propane torch in the hole to heat the threads to loosen the Loctite. Do the rear mounts first with the fronts loosened to keep everything aligned.
Knowledge is Power--Thanks...
it's your sense of humor that makes this a great channel
Agreed.
Your wit is part of the reason I watch. This is a good escape from "the news". People have lost their sense of humor nowadays.
one of the reasons i love this channel ray it unburdens us from what has been
That's great... Hahahaha, I laughed so hard when he said that.
Great opening Ray ,never a truer word said in jest ,keep up the great content 👍😊😊😊
That’s why I like being British we like to make jokes about pretty much anything and most of us don’t get offended, of course there are some that do get offended so we just make jokes out of them 😂👍🇬🇧
Brits are so tight assed that even there hemorrhoids want to get away
That’s how the US used to be, now we are full of hypersensitive snowflakes.
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong.
Wanker…😅
@@DaveMak5150 --So True...
The nice thing about having your channel is. You are free to do and say what you want. Bravo good sir. Glad to keep watching the content. I'm here for some good jokes. If you were to serious I wouldn't be entertained.
When you’re removing those kind of fasteners spray with penetrating fluid first inside on the captured nut then carefully tighten fastener a tiny amount to break the threads loose then carefully back out and retighten again if threads jam up until hopefully it’s free. More lube during the process too.
I enjoy your comments & jokes Ray... Keep em coming!! 😂😂😂😂
Greatest mechanic joke - “Should be”
I'm 64 years old, and I found that I can't joke with a lot of young people nowadays. They either don't understand the joke or they think I'm insulting them somehow. Now, I don't joke with young people, which is boring. Except with older people. And many of them understand old school jokes.
A lot of it comes down to trying to be politically correct and often failing at it, also trying to be bleeding heart liberals and failing at it too.
I do not take any of that BS myself, nor conspiracy theories. I'm also not normally brained so see things differently than the norm.
BTW, I'm of similar age (60) so understand many of the older ways.
@johnhpalmer6098 I don't know about you, but I miss the times when I were younger. It seems that people understood each other better back then. I think social media has ruined how most people see each other nowadays.
You are soooo correct! When I said to a 30 something, "Those rollers are shot!".....they reacted very strangely and thought it was being or been violent to the rollers.....OMG!
@ In some ways, I am the same way, though I live and grew up out on the west coast (western Washington) where at times we lean too liberal for our own good, so see things from that perspective and what we have now is a glut of the homeless as a result, California, Oregon and Washington are glutted with them at the moment, and agree, a lot of it stems from social media.
I see normal folks being too readily accepting of things at face value without critical thinking of the whys, the where's and the hows.
You call that a rust belt truck? Ha, here in Michigan we just call rust a "michigan weld" 😂
When did he call it a rust belt truck?
Every now and again i come back around to rays channel and man when its an intro like this one it just lights me up...love this mans flow and style..
Rayman Ray, A cross between Bob Ross and Florida Man
We'll put some happy little weld beads right here...
FUN!!? Yes please 👍🏼😁
Joke away my good man💪🏼
Thanks for saying it Ray because way too many folks are way to serious about their opinion an believe theirs is the only correct one.
Laughter is the best medicine 💊 🤣
getting down and dirty with the Rainman SOMETIMES I FORGET TO DO MY JOB here is a thumbs up and a comment thanks
Hey Ray under the carpet in rear and front you have access panels to the nuts for body mounts. I’ve replaced several of these on our fleet. Keep up the great work and remember always have fun at work. ✌️🇺🇸
I can only imagine what that job would be like in the rust belt.
Yeah, that's not happening, lol. Bolts will be seized and/or frozen to the bushings.
Couple things will happen, bolts will snap, or they break free, but they're frozen in the bushing and there's going to be a lot of saw-zalling, air hammering, and swearing...and maybe some crying 😂
Jokes keep my boys in a straight line here at work.
Great job Ray, carry on.
There is never enough battery. Ever.
I remember your prior dissertation (AKA rant) on batteries and their lack of uniformity in design and capacity. 😂
I've heard that those cab mount bolts can be a bear at times when the captured nut spins. You lucked out pretty good only having a couple that gave you grief. Of course those northern guys probably have much harder times with them. And when they have to pull the cab off to service the engine, what do they do. I guess they've done enough that they have it down pat. Thanks for taking us along on this job.
Rust belt guys be like.
Rust…where? Looks brand new to me 😂
I feel like you are playing a shell game with those cab mounts. Lol ok we’re waiting for those Florida bolts to zip right out. 😂
Well Ray man you said the magic word easy 😂😅😊
You don't have much to laugh about, lots of changes, lots of people are losing their jobs. And I only get the news that is offered. Here too, there are media that try to influence opinions. That's why it's all the nicer to enjoy unfiltered humor. So Ray, keep it up. And to the rest of you: I wish you all the best from the bottom of my heart.
I feel like you are playing a shell game with those cab mounts. Lol
I always spray silikroil into the holes the night before ! You do not want the inner weld nuts to break loose It will turn an easy job into a nightmare ! I also did a few aluminum body F- series trucks almost every weld nut broke loose - the weld nuts are also aluminum ! Its a pain !
That is what i said from day one. Rainman Ray for president!!
A little (or a lot) humor makes for an easier work day! I learned long ago that it's all a question of mind over matter. If YOU don't mind, IT doesn't matter!
Lmao good morning ray you have grown lol you finally take no chit from the trolls I’m so proud good onya
I love what you are doing mat 😂
Love the humour
offended away please we need this.
@9:47, you placed the shim from YOUR mount onto the chineesium Ford mount! Also, free advice from the real libereral-ville rust-belt state (Maine) - I generally use a flexi-tube of PB blaster to get some oil on the cab-mount nuts on top BEFORE I start, AND I generally stick a prybar under the large washer at the bottom to help keep the bolt seated in the nut-retainer (or what's left of it) and pry it down while hitting it with the impact wrench - gently at first to let the vibration work the oil into the threads, then after a while I give it the beans. When that fails I cut to bolt head.
Come on Ray!! You know we only like jokes about others that we agree with!! Let’s get back to that Duramaxx!!!!
I enjoy the humor almost as much as I enjoy seeing you in an impossible situation. Remember when Ford had "a better idea"? I would not want the cheap CCP plastic parts.
Another trick would be to put some Vaseline on those threads so that any of those BB's don't actually weld themselves to the threads Carrie at the Vaseline happens to be what used to keep those BBS from sticking to certain things. Otherwise they call it big dip but all Mig dip is is colored Vaseline
That good 'ole "Live action nausea" gotta love it!
The lift install delay sucks but with always better to be safe than sorry. Risking you health and safety isn’t worth it Ray. Be safe.
Implied first rule, Don't Die...
Nicely done Ray !
from a shade tree guy, thread bolt in and tack from outside.
Welcoming back!
Took me 2 weeks to replace rusted body mounts on a 97 dodge flat bed oil truck. Had to weld it from above AND underneath. 6 of 8 mounts were gone. Bolts pulled out by hand.
It was hell, but it got done ;)
A liberal coating of that purple brake Lube you used to use would work great on those new mounts and isolate them from further deterioration of where rust has already begun
Ray good idea to get actual lift installers now you know how thick the concrete must be. The concrete is cured to 80percent in 30days. This lift has been a long time coming I m not sure when the lift broke
So... So... lol Your family business is great the way it is. Wish I knew you better than on the computer monitor! So... lol
Loving this video never watched cab mounts be replaced. Thanks for the learning experience!
Hey Canada wants its pucks back 🤣
Always good to have a sense of humor. Some people are way to sensitive
They want to tone police your channel because they're offended by everything.
Do you and keep trucking.
God bless America.
All the Way.
Love Ray started following him long ago. His channel took off because he takes no crap and he’s respectful. 606K followers aren’t wrong. Don’t start no crap there’ll be no crap. Keep it up Ray.
Yes! Everything is super cereal around here 😂😂
Since, Dave didn’t say it please allow me “that’s what she said “.
I have the same one for charging in my truck, I bought 2 from Amazon for another $15, works great.
60th! Good morning Ray,Lauren,Dave,and Justin. Another job I would never attempt to do. Roger in Pierre South Dakota
0:21 New car smell when you opened the door .
You're not wrong; some people do take some jokes too seriously; one of my co-workers took my joke too serious
I feel like you need a sign on the shop wall along the lines of x number of days since Ray apologized to TH-cam 😂😂
I have seen some other mechanics deal with the cab mount bolts. I think Flying Wrenches knows the secret
I won't miss the viewers that get offended by humor, if you should choose to block them.
I would have appreciated a little more autopsy of the deteriorated cab fasteners.
The delay on the new lift might be an opportunity to repaint that section of the shop. It looked So Purty when it happened the first time.
Happy to have you (and the team unit) here.
The Chinesium mounts will probably feel better on the road, softer that is, but they need to be replace in 5 - 10 years.
Beautiful paint job, interior and truck.
Perfect candidate for a coat of Fluid Film or Woolwax. Either will stop all of that rust in its tracks. Applied annually of course
that sucks about your new 4 post lift. I know ow you feel. Your contractor should have told you about it a long time ago so you could get the cement poured and set up before they came to install it. I had that happen to me when i worked in a tool room and we had to pour an 8" pad 10 ft square and isolate it from the rest of the floor and they didn't tell us till it was delivered. So after cure time it set us back almost 8 weeks.
Groveling around on the floor, old school maintenance.
Just a note .. Dana axles corp are in China and are the only ones making Electric truck axles. Edison motors went there and filmed to buy their axles there. Absolutely amazing. No one in North America was interested.
Keep up the good work and don’t change anything about the way you present yourself
You know how you can tell a mechanic had sex???
His first two fingers are clean.
Have a great day everyone!
I yelled at you there is a hole on the side.. 2 secants before you saw it LOL
Life is too short to take it seriously , a virus in my heart showed me that , you can't take shit with you and you got to have fun before it finishes.
Well said Ray
Rainman Ray, eating death & danger for breakfast... ROFLMAO!!!
The north has winter, salt and rust. But at least we don't have insane humidity and heat, and that black slime mold that seems to be everywhere in Florida.
That 2663 is a good impact 450 ft/lbs if I recall? Got the same one axle nuts right off after 15 years of salted winters.
Better to laugh 😂. Great intro.
Love the channel 😅
We need to galvanize these mounts... Soooooo 🦉
Well done.
That furd is BEAST fur sure👍🇺🇸
Oh no! Double stacked wood blocks? To quote AvE: "...in a world of OSHA violations...."
Why didn’t the guy that sold you the lift+ installation survey the sight so you could do this before they turned up?
fingers at the ready ,,new battries in the keyboard,,,go on crack a joke we want...loooooooooool love from scotland uk..
Ray, body mounts rust or no rust have way too much lock tight on them. Still your channel and keep it yours. If you hurt a few feelings that's not on you!
now do one on same year from massachussetts lol
Drilling a hole was the move
Get em ray
I was trying to think of something snarky or profound to quip, but am at a loss for words. So I thank you for a very entertaining video that I could watch as I sipped strong coffee this Thursday morning.
The only thing that offends me on this channel is that you refuse to close that door when you pull this into the shop. I keep thinking you will hit it. Lol
4:10...One mustn't take thangs too seriously sometimes !!!....😂😄...
There's enough drama out there today that Shakespeare would say WTF
I enjoy ur funny jokes and I like make fun of things you do ray or say. So I am OK with it.
when you said "bolts and hose" i thought you said "boats and hoes" lmao.
Lol. Try doing that in upstate NY...sawzall and heat wrench....
I've never seen someone weld up cab bolts on a ford this way. Usually you just remove the rubber plugs inside the cab and do it that way. or use the constant electric pressure torque wrench. Interesting
Yes, I thing it is funny because I work on 1950's to 1980's trucks and almost every cab bolt is like this plus mounts are rusted to the point of needing replaced or remaned .LOL
Remember: Major US manufacturers use Chinese and other Asian countries as parts suppliers as well as automotive assembly plants. GM is building SUVs and Small cars in China and badging them as GM. Toyota uses parts made all over the world as well as having plants all over the world. It use to be Chineseum, now its just world market. One gets what one specified to the manufacturer, Cheap for large markups or quality for durability.
