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!

Thanks to Jesse for making the intro and graphic for us to enjoy!!
i'm a french Canadian from Quebec 🤣 but i speak english too, that's the difference with french people... I watched all your videos and I laugh at you Americans too. 😜
As far as I’m concerned you Canadians are our brothers, and like any family we get to abuse each other, but nobody else better mess with you.
What was hilarious when I was up in QC was it was 70F out and you all were crying about how HOT it was
How many times have you been to France?
Arrête de dire des calisse de niaiseries.
have you heard of french candian scammers? I only receive calls from people with Indian or Chinese (mostly autocalls) accent. I've never ever gotten a scam call from a person with French accent.
Ray, Québécois here... French Canadian... I watched all your videos haha! it's okay that you laugh at us... As long as I can laugh at you Americans... It's all about having fun with respects.
yah,,, like take off you hosier...
Hey if we can't laugh at and with each other life would be pretty boring imo.
@OGYettie Totally!!
Yeah - laughing is pretty easy, eh?
Yes, did unsubscribe... That was my JOKE for HIM.
I just had a vision: all the automotive engineers in hell, being forced to work on the vehicles they designed for all eternity!
@@DannyNeal-g8y :
Before, or after acquiring ASE Certification?
One of my brothers- in-law was ASE certified, and couldn't find his own arse with both hands, a map and a compass!
Of course, nobody ever asked if he was at the top, middle, or bottom of his class!
Assisted by purchasing Dept staff!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Last time a scammer called me he got really mad at me. I got excited when they said the police were going to arrest me if I didn't pay right now. He swore at me when I said "Oh thank god! I'm tired of working for food and a bed! How soon can they be here to take me away?"
As someone who was disappointed after watching the impossible bolt extraction from the subaru block and not seeing it get put back in the car, thank you for recording this gigantic pain in the neck being finished.
I tell my wife I'll get to it , I don't know why she has to remind me every 6 months 😊
Right! You'll get to it one day😂.
I once told my (now ex-) wife that I would get to some project once she stopped asking me when I was going to get it done.
Took here a couple of weeks, then I waited a week and got it done when she wasn't home.
I didn't mention it at all.
The Lockheed Skunk works built some of the most bleeding edge aircraft in the world. Their process was to have the engineering people right by the production floor. When the mechanics would run into a problem they would rebuild the part to work ad engineering would make new drawings. That is how the Skunk Works could build these aircraft irtually overnight. There was no endless meeting with upper management, no committees to pass judgment on decisions because the decision makers were on the build floor.
Roger this!
You know, I retired almost 2 years ago, after being a tech for 40 years, and watching these videos make me realize something. I really don't miss it one tiny bit, seriously.
Well, I now know for certain who the shop “BOSS” really is😂🤣. Try to stay outta trouble Ray, and don’t forget to have yourself a great day 😁👍🇺🇸
I'm french Canadian from Montréal and I watch all your video for about 3 years now. Like your content. I learned so much stuff with your videos.
Customs and Border Patrol had a big press release about counterfeit parts. Amazon is one of the biggest sellers of counterfeit parts. If it’s too good to be true, it usually is.
You can watch videos here of Pakistan shops making very realistic looking copies of OEM Toyota, Honda & Hyundai oil filters. The filters will work fine, but they have about 1/4 of the filter paper you usually get.
@@BigDipper79 Chineseum parts
That's why I try to get mine at Rock Auto, Napa, or Dealer.
Great video series Ray. Sorry you had such tribulations. You are a great man with great people around you. IMO, until the online organizations are punished for trading in counterfeit goods, nothing will change.
Amazon is a Fake company peddling junk
Enjoy the couch tonight Ray🤣🤣🤣🤣. Never speak the man-truth to the wife unit🤣🤣
My Wife Unit: "when you get a chance can you do this thing?"
Me getting up to do the thing ..
My Wife Unit: "I didn't mean right this minute"
I swear, we cannot win.
Truth !! (with 38 yrs of marriage experience)
lmao. had this so many times
Too true!
60+ years…..still haven’t figured her out…..😅.
Ray you would be better off stopping the mind reading bit. The hole is deep enough . LOL
This guy must love his Ranger and expects a lot more mileage out of it! because after all that I'm sure this was not a cheap repair! and Ray enjoy the couch tonight you are in trouble man ! LOL!!!!!!
The pups already have the couch Rutro!!!!😳😳😳😳
French from France and French-Canadians are completely DIFFERENT. I'm French-Canadian and you guys in Florida love us because there are tons of us who've retired down there.
We really do love you guys dn here!
Canadian here. No we definitely don’t say bonnet.
It's an English thing - caught me out Ray using it.
Ray probably thought that because we use to be under British rule and they say bonnet and boot.
Lol, poor Canadian cousins.
We Australians inherited this terminology from the Brits also; Bonnet and Boot are common terms here but it all means the same thing 😂
I made a home to do list with everyone’s names on top.
After a month it was amazing how many things began to resolve themselves and people taking recognition of their efforts. Family meetings changed and made my dad/stepdad role easier.
They realized who was doing what in the house and it helped make it into a home.
woman translator
"when you have got a minute" means do it now.
"fine" I'm really angry at you
"no, it's fine" you will live to regret that choice
"do you fancy takeout tonight?" order my favourite takeout now.
".. do you think..." you better be thinking ....
"Fine" never means it's okay.
When a woman says she'll be ready to go in 5 minutes, it really means 1 hour. Which is, coincidentally, the same 5 minutes (1 hour) that it will be until the man gets home from the bar after drinking with his buddies.
The mind reading portion of this video was epic.
I regularly tell my wife ‘That’s not what you said’ or ‘you said you should - that’s not a shall’.
It usually doesn’t work
That was a hard one. It fought you the whole way. From the oil pan to the water pump. You have sticktoitavness (not a word). For sure.
Thanks for the Lauren/WifeUnit cameo. Be careful, she will come after you - and us, I guess. 😂l
The way this repair was going I was expecting one of those fittings to break when you used the hose end to tighten 🥵
First time I got an immediate notification of a new video! Normally it tells me about 3hrs later, this time 16 seconds!
Maybe YT will start working normally again!
@@RainmanRaysRepairsthat's the funniest thing I've heard since Norm McDonald died...
So.
Lol 2 hours for me and I am in LV not my usual location Australia lol go figure
@@RainmanRaysRepairs Optimism can be taken too far...🙃😉
Enjoy your time in the dog house Mr Ray because your going to be there for a while 😂😅hahaha
I grew up with five sisters and raised two daughters. DO NOT attempt to understand the way they think! They don’t even understand each other 😅😅😅
But he'll have good company with Luna, Scarlet, and Cain 🐶🐶🐶
Hey Ray, just last week, my wife unit received a scam call, it was a female with a heavy Asian accent threatening legal actions were starting against us, now if anyone owns a small business they must have a good team on retainer, which we do, i tried to politely give her his info, and she hung up, had my wife in tears almost, nobody hurts her, not even me, great video looking for another on the ranger.
Nobody calls to threaten legal action, if they do it's bs.
If they're semi-serious you'll get an email to try and scare you and if they want to escalate it then they have a paper trail.
If they're actually serious you'll get the above then a silence from them then just a letter in the mail from a law firm.
As far as the scam callers go, yep it'll be a call centre.
Objective 1. Is to get your financial information.
Objective 2. Is to get as much personal information about you as possible in order to defraud you or if that fails to just sell that on to a data broker in which case they get paid anyway.
It's a vicious practice that needs to be better recognised and made globally criminal.
Thanks for the video and the laughs Ray. Have a great day!
I love this channel. You don't know what to expect as a form of entrainment. I feel so immerse in the channel, like if i were part of the family. that even a work domestic violence moment it feels like the horse playing moments siblings have at home.
Innocent and totally normal. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hey Ray, I'm saving this video to show my wife, so she doesn't think I'm not the only one who thinks that way about having super mind reading powers, lol. Thanks for another great video. I've been a subscriber since before you left the dealership. Keep up the great work.
THANK YOU FOR THE FINAL EPISODE! I only just now started watching it, but thank you thank you. This is has been such a great mini-series so far!
Oh Ray, why would you put grease on a coolant hose???
Use dishwasher liquid if you want it to slide on easier, it also dries and seals the hose to the fitting.
love it! rbw
You’ve learnt a valuable lesson with the Wife Unit. Even if you’ve been given a time frame, if they ask you to do something, it’s usually because they see a need for it to be done now. Not “when you have a minute”. Haha.
"...world of OSHA violations..." Nice tune 😂
Rainman, stop apologizing. You always come through because your a top notch mechanic. SOOO keep up the good work, I am a subscriber.
If you flip the cap on the coolant bottle. You can use the safety lock tab to cut open the foil seal on the bottle
There are a few content creators who hack into their office cameras and get them on the phone get those guys raving pissed then show them their own on camera image. Too funny to see them crap their pants.
Mr. Ray, idk if you'll see this but can soul be be the new doodlydoodlydoo. Ivewatched and liked literally every single video you have ever posted. And the doodlydoos used to make me smile(I watch your videos as mechanical therapy plus I've learned a decent bit of good practices) but the soul is definitely something that puts a smile on my face every single time. That and when you and wife unit share wholesome moments together. Those also make me happy inside haha
I sure hope that the hose you put dielectirc grease on stays on because I saw some movement of the hose.
Ray you had me cracking up with the french surrender joke, and then teasing the wife unit. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
As a Canadian, we have nothing to do with the US calling them freedom fries. We call them French fries here! Or just fries...
Yeah that was W when France wouldn't join the "coalition of the willing" or whatever they called it to go into Iraq.
Yeah. It was started in North Carolina, then boosted in Washington, D.C, wasn't it? Les québécois sont beaux, n'est-ce pas?
That comment about little 3ltr engine made me smile ,over here in Uk that is quite a big engine for a car 😅
Makes me wonder what you Brits think of Ray's Silverado 6.7L diesel for a powerplant. Lol
Even so, the 3.0 was not the biggest engine in the Ranger. The 4.0 was offered all the way from 1983 until the original production run ended in 2011 for non-fleet trucks.
Or in all of Europe 😂
@@isaiahwelch8066 It would not even fit down most of the roads in my village
Aye, My UK '06 Ranger was a 4 cylinder, 2.5l turbo diesel.
Only thing I ever had with a bigger engine was a 3.5l V8 Rover SD1 back in the late 70's.
@@GARDENER42 : Honestly, when I found out every country BUT the US got the 2.5L diesel four-cylinder, I was angry _and_ jelly. Y'all were lucky to have been able to buy a Ranger with that option.
I never got why Ford didn't sell a diesel Ranger after 2012 in the US, when you can still find examples of the 1983-1985 Rangers with 2.2L Perkins diesel four-cylinders. They were popular trucks 40 years ago.
I never saw Ray tighten the fan/clutch assembly....just spun it on. Will that hold okay?
The thread is a direction that will tighten up as it runs.
Hey Lauren, men often can't read or OWN minds!
.
Also, we have the "Nothing" box, a special sector of our brains that we get lost into when we are literally thinking about nothing.
Huh. 😅
We have no France connection really, long time gone. And your stuck with the Arcadians, they were sent to run Louisiana 😂
Thank us for the food. 😁
Acadians. Arcadians, who the heck are they? My sister-in-law is Acajun from the French Shore. Some of her ancestors were kicked out when the Brits seized their farmland and dumped 'em in Louisiana. Improved the place immensely.
When the scammers call (always easy to immediately identify), I answer, press "1", and when they answer "Yes, I'd like to order butter chicken, vindaloo goat, papadam, and garlic naan. I'll pick it up". If they try to engage further, "Is this what you went to university for? Are your parents proud of what you do? How long have you been a total loser?" They usually just hang up.
You are an awesome mechanic. Your customers are so fortunate to have you. Carry On Sir.
I love your nice wholesome channel. That much trouble would have resulted in an x rated channel for me
Great job Ray.
I have a feeling that most of your viewers would gladly watch a 30 part series on a single vehicle if you did one. Thank you for bringing us along on your daily projects.
I have lived 53 years and finally found somebody who I can idolize!
..same comment, replace 53 with 80, ray
French here, definitely drinking wine 😂
English here, drinking a bottle of South African Sauvignon Blanc.😁
I was waiting for you to crack that aluminum manifold from over torque
To answer the question, French, French-Canadian, and Québecois are different teams. No, I'm not offended. Yes, they have different frames of mind.
Yes they speak different French , actually it's not French . It's there version of it ..........
Yeah, that's how arguments between my partner and I go about putting the trash out. I never win. 😂
Ah yes, the classic 'slightly inconvenient but utterly necessary' dance of dismantling an engine just to make space for a part that, after several hours of contorting, grumbling, and mild existential crisis, finally fits as if it had been meant to. The engine, once whole and full of promise, now lay in pieces across the garage like the shattered hopes of a defeated jigsaw puzzle. And yet, after reassembling it with the precision of a blindfolded wizard, the part was installed, the engine roared back to life, and I stood triumphant - like a very confused hero in a very long and ultimately pointless epic. Can’t wait to do it all again with a different part next week.
⬆️ if hemingway was a mechanic. 😂
Very nice.
Perfect!
As always, Top Tier mechanic doing Top Tier work. 👏 Most excellent!
Like Eric O would say, that zip tie will lose the top spot at the next car show. lol. 😂😂it’s the fing zip tie. Grounded out the temp switch. Has to be.
yes I'm French Canadian and watch your channel and appreciate its content
@19:20... The fail is using dielectric grease. You want to use a temporary lube. One that is slippery when you need it to be and stops being slippery after it dries. This is why I use dish soap and water. The dish soap is slippery for a bit and dries sticky. They also make a lube specifically for installing tight hoses. I used to have some, but it was expensive. @41:30... Throw some flour at it and look for the wet spot.
I love these multi part videos on single vehicles, it allows us to come along for the entire ride so to speak. Thanks for the awesome content!
Thank you Mister Ray Sir.
Thank you for letting us be with you to finish this particular car.
I well remember your odysee. :D
I like to think of it as an “oddy” see. 😂
You are an awesome mechanic. Your customers are so fortunate to have you. Carry On Sir. The zip tie rescue is a life saver. I used it recently after seeing you use it once before. 😊👍
OMG today's episode almost had a spit take at "another world war for you to surrender in" and had me in stitches at "we'd never tell you that and give up our super-power!"
We speak French and English in 🇨🇦 and we work on rust buckets not an easy no rust ray way
Québécois here. I am following your channel for quite a while now. We don't mind Americans laughing at us because we understand jokes. Cannot say the same thing about English Canadians!!!😂
Ray, now with 100% more left channel audio!
Did the "wife unit" leave many bruises on you.😂😂😂😂
French Canadian here.....of course we watch......everything......yeah....we're all spies.....but you aren't supposed to know......nevermind, you didn't read that!🤣
😂
Hello Ray , should not compare french from France with french Canadians Two completely different entities. Love your videos. Your progress with self employment and running a business is amazing. Lauren has her hands full. God bless and keep on wrenching.
More proof you couldn't read her mind, You would have seen the violence!!!
Yes Ray, some French people watch your channel, with love and admiration. :D
Ray has a black belt in marital arts🤣
Yeah, but does he have a serpentine belt in martial arts? 😅
Yes mate, we have bonnets and boots (hood and trunk). Love the persistence with getting the ranger done.
I enjoy the scam callers, see how long i can keep them on the phone. My record is 1 hour 47 minutes
@OGYettie:
My best so far is 00:00:02:45.
"A drop in the bucket", but that scammer will never retrieve it!
🙂
@@daleallen7634 less time they have to prey on the elderly.
Waiting for the cracked timing cover you found... then waiting for the coolant fitting. I think I understand better why there are always so many cars parked outside the mechanic's shops around here.
Take off,you hoser!
Welcome to Rainman Ray's Ranger Repair channel.
I relate buddy, I can't count how many times a 15m job took three days.
Wait…there are people who think “this car thing” is easy? The only things I would want to do less than work on a vehicle is paint the inside of my house, or buy a new house and have to move. You sir, are a hero!
T-Bolt clamp huh. Giving the customer the good stuff.
Off course French peoples look your channel , I'm here every day !!! 🇫🇷
Ray, let's just call this, "Ray's not unhappy best day " lol keep on fighting my man 😂lol
The French watch your channel, at least one from Grenoble, France.
I like the quality of your work.
The mechanics on the cars here are very different, no V6 or V8 petrol engines or automatic gearboxes with converter, but a lot of small 4 cylinder diesels and manual gearboxes.
Yup, but we do get an awful lot more grunt from smaller engines, my 2L Diesel is 180hp and has an auto (sequential) gearbox.
I had clients, who got the scam calls telling them that they were from the IRS, and if they didn't pay up they would be arrested. I told to tell them, when are they coming, so they can have their bags packed, because they need some expensive medical treatment. And, if they are in jail, they will have to pay for it. By the way they got busted, by the IRS, and the Secret Service. There was 4 in a call center in India and 2 here in the United States.
Very lucky if the Indian ones got busted. It seems the police over there are hardly interested, even with hard evidence.
I am from Vermont. Vermont is right on the Canadian border, specifically on the Quebec border. That is where they speak French. It is not Paresian French. It is Canadian French. They sound funny.
Yes absolutly ! We even sound funnier when we try to speak Frenglish! I live in Beebe and it very confusing too at times. Someone ask a quastion in French. The other answer in English. What a strange part of this world.
@rogerst-aubin1554 I used to deliver to the Norton Country Store in Norton, Vermont. The owners' daughter spoke French and English fluently at three years old. It was funny as hell to hear her ask a question in French and then answer her mother in English
Try going to Newfoundland, they speak English, Irish, French dialect….”eh “b’y”….yes boy
I sliced my hand open doing the open hand so now I just deal with busted knuckles stitches in the palm don't feel good
Unburdened 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
A friend of mine had a call from a scammer that threatened to send the police to arrest him. He told them you know where I live, send them out. Scammer got pissed. LOL
Careful baiting Canadians compadre, ask any WWII vet about us 😂 Great allies, and a nightmare if you're on the other side!
It’s nice to have a legal department you can refer scammers to.
The closer is needed because of to many years of "This Old House"🤣
Ray, those scammers are WAY more successful than you think. Hundreds of millions per year, and the 'operators' get paid 5h1t.
Talk to my attorneys, Dewey Cheatum & Howe!
great, now i'm gonna have to buy a bunch of those fancy tbolt hose clamps. great.
Those French Canadians just threw your dictator a bone, and he fell for it, so who's the dummy now? Keep to the cars and away from politics
Cry about it libtard
Say wha?
It’s a joke my guy, It’s funnier if you laugh at it
@ at the moment I can’t, there is some orange guy causing trouble
I would be one of those golden years people at 75 years old . No one ever calls me , so if I do get a call , you're correct , they're trying to sell me something or screw me , so I don't even bother answering .
My warranty has expired time untold, 😂
Like Eric O would say, that zip tie will lose the top spot at the next car show. lol. 😂😂
Aww -- I was waiting for the spigot on the new union to foul that top bolt on the water pump cover as you screwed it in another thread ... But you triumphed!
I gaurantee the seniors in your area are going to come for you and better be afraid!😂Especially the french Canadian ones!
Déjà vu literally translates to Already seen. Something I sometime experience watching Ray's videos lol
A woman's mind is like law, there's so many things that cover the same subject, you'll never get the correct term because they're all contradictory to each other dependent on context.
That, and you cannot predict something that's constantly changing and evolving.
now what's the saying?... I used to be unsure but am now not certain... go figure
Had that issue with the temp sensor on a Econoline van from around the same time you need to get the sensor for the gauge from ford. the gauge temp sensor and the computer temp sensor are 2 different parts but parts stores list them as the same because they have the same connector
Hi Ray ;) i'm french and i'm watch your videos, oh i'm also a mechanic ... sort of ... i assemble engines for F3 and F2 categories juste before Formula One ^^
It's a pleasure to watch your videos everydays :)
I got one of those Walmartt calls. I called Wal-Mart customer service and reported them so they could investigate it.
