Dude... that truck is in spectacular condition for a Canadian vehicle of that age. As we'd say "Geez bud, that's a beauty. Pretty much zero rust, eh?"
Right on. If that truck came from Canada, it must've been parked in a garage every winter ("winter" being the short name for "salt season"). It's mint.
@@JamesDvorakSaskatchewan likely.
If it was from Ontario/Quebec/NB/NS/PEI it would be REALLY rusty, especially Quebec and Ontario.
@@RetroCaptain same for New England - they all just disintegrate. Every vehicle older than 10ish years has a patched or replaced frame, rockers, cab corners and wheel wells. Ray, you are getting a taste of Eric O's struggles in Western NY :D
Neil Young was right. Rust Never Sleeps.
@@shaneoneill1338 I'm in Massachusetts and just had my rocker panels replaced on my 2011 Focus.
With it up on the lift, it is otherwise in good shape, so I don't regret putting in the expense.
I have a 2003 Ford Ranger (In Canada). Last week I replaced all shocks, upper/lower control arms, bushings, tie rods, ball joints and stabilizer links. EVERYTHING needed to be heated till it was nearly glowing before it would even hint at coming lose. Took an entire day to do each side, only because of the fight each fastener gave me. It was super fun removing the torsion bars from the lower control arms. Got out Mr. Grindy and cut the arms in half, no way they were moving otherwise.
I like that you don’t play loud irritating music or spout copious amounts of BS like some people do to cover up their incompetence. By the way don’t you just hate working under the dash of a vehicle.
Ray you love us Canadians and our car/trucks and you just don’t want to admit it.
Father-in-law who lived in the Northeast rust-belt used to spray the bottom of his cars every fall with used motor oil and the inside of the doors with used ATF. When I finally inherited his 1951 Pontiac, I spent hours under the car scraping off the 1/2" agglomeration of dirt and oil. Underneath was the oriinal factory paint and the black chassis paint.
You're not used to real rusty work. Getting dripped on with melting snow. AL the good stuff!!! There are no big blocks of ice failing on you! Your blessed.😅
Great I like seeing someone working hard. It makes me think I am accomplishing something sitting on my ass watching a video. I might learn something.
82 is a cool day? I could absolutely never live somewhere that was true.
Just be glad the truck was from Southern Ontario. A 20 year old truck from Northern Ontario would need some heat to brake the nuts free. A lot more sault gets used on the roads up north.
I know you are a words guy Ray. You might want to look up the meaning of "bugger". It's not what most people think it means.
Canadian contaminates!!! Canadian preservation gold. It won't hurt you. You got lucky working on that Canadian beauty. Love the videos
You know that you have watched too many of Rays videos when you hear Rays voice in your sleep! 😮
Gooooodddddd morning everyone !!!!!
Amazing that the customer provided a belt tensioner. Owner must be a mechanic.
Thanks!
And thanks to you too!! 🙂
That sure is a laundry list but it sure is refreshing to see an owner care for their truck and know their stuff. Props to the owner
As a Scottish person 08:06 - 08:25 had me buckled 😂
All the way from Canadia to Rays Auto Clinic! Canada knows where to get honest, spectacular repairs!!!
When in America, we Canadians get our old vehicles serviced. Saves money on parts, maybe labour (yes that’s how we spell it) and taxes as well! Helps pay for our Florida vacay’s.
Canada is REAL??? thought it was just a fictional place....like Narnia..@@martyg3757
Your right about Canadian contaminates Ray. All the years GM made their pickup trucks in Oshawa there was a special spray applied to trucks to be shipped to U.S. It was famous for making “you all’s” crave Maple Syrup and start saying Eh at the end of every sentence. Oh, and have Liberal thoughts .
Cheers from British Columbia.
That truck might be from Canada but I can assure you that it did not see much winter driving it’s in excellent shape it did not see much salt for its age that owner has a good truck
Cheers from Nova Scotia
Some Parts of Canada Use SAND ........ salt doesnt work in Extreme Cold.
I couldn't think about anything else after I saw the charger parked next to the truck.
Unfortunately, it's a rolling junk pile that only a very costly frame-off resto can make right. Ray's made a video some time ago to show us just how bad this former classic has become.
@@beezul Oh yeah, I forgot all about that. Thanks for reminding me. Shame
it's me Dave man opened up i got the stuff!
Gotta love Ray!
The other day, I asked him what time it was and he gave me precise instructions on how to make a Swiss watch! 😁
I kept waiting for Bob and Doug McKenzie to show up and start calling you a hoser Ray. Eh? LoL
That our world famous krown rust control applied to the underlying chassis!! They put a LOT of brime & salt down in the winter. 🥶 🇨🇦
Awesome video. The best Canadian maple syrup comes in a can.
I thought it was inside the Crown Royal bottle 😊
@@RetroCaptain 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Put a dab of Canadian maple syrup on the suction cup of your valve lapping tool and it'll stick 10 times better. That's actually not a joke, it's how I lap valves.
That's good to know. I'm in Minnesota and have been to Canada a few times. I always came back with the maple syrup in the bottle shaped like a leaf. I'll look for a can next time.
We out here in Alberta refer to Ontario as rustario. When I was in the military and posted to Northbay, I had a brand new car in within a year, The cancer set in spread no matter how much I washed it.
Gotta wash the underneath and especially the subframe *weekly*
Just waving the garden hose over the hood once a week doesn't do anything.
Those drive through wash bays are okay.
Twice a year Krown or Rust Check or other quality spray yearly by a guy who cares about doing it properly...means 20 years at least.
My boss still has his 1997 F150 and a couple rust spots..400,000km. Ontario and salt on every street every highway.
Greetings from Ottawa, Ontario! Canadian cars - our interiors (except carpets) are usually in pretty good shape, no sun-fade or cracked dashpads. And the benefit is that without tools, you can just lift the seats out of the rusted-out floorboards! Then you bolt them into a southern car with a solid body! LOL.
The carnage caused by road salt is unbelievable.
Still, have to say I'm super happy you got let go and that it gave you the opportunity to start your own business and being your own boss! Makes a regular driver/consumer believe in quality service and small business. Only thing I miss is the doodledoo's... I used to hate toiling on cars and used your content as a motivational thing.... Keep up the good work. Greetings from Finland!
At 47:00 when the valve is stuck in the socket, instead of fighting with it, take the socket off and push it out with a screwdriver or something. The socket is hollow.
Built Canadian winter tough!! Bit me winter, I laugh in the eye of danger.HA!
I wish I lived close so I can use Ray as a mechanic
48:57 nice!! Talking about the faults with reusing old valves.
Ray, you're lucky you don't have to deal with road salt, as it is a death knell to vehicles. Up here in Eastern Ontario, Canada, it is currently 3 degrees C or about 38 degrees F. I had to get rid of my 2003 4.8 Litre Silverado last year as rust had overcome my attempts to keep the truck alive. Bought her in 2007 when she was 4 years old, pretty good that she lasted that long. I used rubberized undercoating to help prevent corrosion...absolutely the worst stuff to use as water gets underneath it and just eats up anything metal. I had no choice but to purchase a new vehicle, a 2022 Chevrolet Equinox, which I just love and is way cheaper at the gas station to fill and superior in the snow to my old Silverado. Got her oil sprayed just after I purchased her. I miss the old truck sometimes, for hauling stuff, and just for the brute force of the mighty LS engine💪😊 Have a great weekend, my friend.
I always here about the undercoating warnings. But I am in Montreal and have done undercoating on my vehicles and have not had issues...but it has been on Honda's.
I own a 1998 Ram 1500 I bought in 2005. It's rust free here in Florida. It's only fault is oil consumption and lousy gas mileage. I love my truck.
@@jimdavis6833 id never buy a dodge haha too many issues and ticks and this that and the other stuff that's just way out of most peoples league to repair
Dealers undercoat -garbage- Zeibart- not good after a couple years.
Of course the one person who didn't have trouble with the factory undercoat will be along shortly..lol
Krown
Rust Check
Good.
Undercoating Oil
Done twice a year -good.
Doing nothing- scrap guys get it in about 11 years.
The alternative is w e e k l y going to the full spray underbody wash bays. The drive through wash.
Get it dry ice blasted before undercoating for maximum adhesion.
That undercarriage needs a coating of Fluid Film or Woolwax to stop the rust dead in its tracks.
@@Kitties4321 they sprayed something on the truck already but failed to keep up on it for sure.
Ray, that’s what road salt does to aluminum parts on the tensioner. Corrosion corrosion corrosion. Part of life in Canada.
That thing is still extremely clean and crust free for Canadia.
Ya, a Canadian chimed in another comment about east coast vs west side of Canada and it's milder over on the west side 😅
It has to be from Manitoba Saskatchewan Alberta to be that fresh looking for the old age. The highways not smothered in salt constantly.
I here Bc use to have lots of rust free vehicles but they have started using salt or sand/salt mix now
@@classicxl & it's a different chemistry in road salt now to what it was 35 years ago.
Rots faster than the natural variety.
Still if the owner takes precautions he can get extra years.
Most owners know nothing or don't care.
"It was coated at the factory". (trash in a decade)
"I took it to be sprayed" (ONCE years ago)
"The salesman told me it was all plastic fender that don't rust" (watching the fenders flap in the breeze as the frame holding it together is full of holes)
Ontario has the world’s largest salt mine. Dumped on roads almost half the year.
Eastern Ontario (where I live) spreads it on thick like peanut butter on a sandwich😆
That Ray hears a little swoosh on the test drive and knows exactly what it was is amazing! Love your vids!
Hey Ray, when you taped up that wire bloom and said you were keeping Canadian contaminants out, I'll give you a little bit of information on that. If those Canadian contaminants want to get in, they will! Live from the great white North 🍁 🦫
They also need a way to get out, or else it sits in a bath of salene
Metric Voltage hahahaha! Love it. Temp is in Celsius, not Centigrade... :o)
When you were watching the ac compressor I was thinking "man that tensioner isn't really moving much..." and now by the time I type this comment you had already noted the tensioner doesn't tension and the truck is on the lift. Oh yeah!
😂 sitting here in the Uk, it’s -2 or about 29 in old money and 82 is a cool day, have a great day thanks for the great vids
Wow ray, as a northern mechanic im having sooo much fun watching you getting full of rustproofing and finally understanding what we feel 😂😂😂
Dang it Ray, my bad. I was getting really close when you were under the dash and you knocked my glasses off my face. No worries!🤣
On GM trucks, push the heat shields on the wires towards the engine, it will free them up without breaking the wire , I accidentally stumbled upon this last tune up
Geez can't wait to save up enough, to have you work on my vehicles. You are stellar
Awesome video Ray keep them coming. I know many Americans know very little about Canada but it's a very geographically large country with very different climates. Where that truck is from in Eastern Canada, it has very similar climate to the central and eastern US with very cold and snowy winters. Where I live on the
West coast of Canada, in Vancouver BC, north of Seattle, it's very different. We have the mildest climate in Canada. Today its is sunny and 43 F and while thats cold compared to Florida, its warmer that all of the central and US/Canada areas. Just a little education, ok off to play golf now...
We get the pleasure of calling our folks on the prairies and telling them it is a damp warm to get back at them for years of dry cold talk.
dont mention the rain.... but at least Rays arms wont rust... after apply the Canadian rust proofing... oh where was the rain this year though ?
@@stephensmith1118 Its very mild
Ah, no wonder why that truck looks in decent condition underneath 😊
@@stephensmith1118 It was good California got to fill their lakes but we need it also.
Great video Ray. I live in Canada and that wasn't too bad for rust for that year. Undercoating helps. I watch all your videos.
LOVE the longer, extended videos! 👍🏻
Got to admire Mr Ray for his shaft insertion prowess, the man has a 7th sense for the job😅. Love the full detailed videos, keep them coming 👌
Eric O got to it before you and hit it with the Fluid Film.
Great job Stretch Armstrong.
"its a cool day today..." proceeds to call 82f a cool day. That is how you know someone has lived in Florida for most of their life.
Thats because in Ontario doesnt snow as much as in the rest of canada, cheers from Québec! Where sht does rust lol
I love that Charger.
I swear the AC Pressure Taps he connected Hoses to are the same line hence getting the same Pressures!! I will watch the rest of video to see if Ray catches it!!
Well after watching rest of Video when he recharged system he got pressure differential on lines.. I am confused or Blind!! LOL. Love your videos Ray!!
The metering tube is inside of the line between the connections. It’s supposed to have a pressure differential. Great observation!
Yeah another comment is about why the 2 service ports are on the same line... Orifice tube setup between them😅
Vs an expansion valve setup
Ray, thanks for the explanation!! I had not thought about that setup. Just use to seeing Service Ports on different lines. Low or Suction Pressure are usually taken after passing through Evap Coil.
A coolish day 82 or 83 , ha, ha , ha , its a balmy 2 degrees in my neck of Canada .
Thanks, Dave.
Great job Ray, as I am watching for part 2 with anticipation!
@Rainman Ray's Repairs is happy because, this is a easy truck to work on. ( For mechanics with the right tools )
That's so cool and Chevrolet and other USA engines used to be about ready to junk at 1k-150k!! 288k and still going strong!! Used to be you had to get a car or truck from Japan to get 200k! The sad part is , every time they get bugs worked out of a design , the stop making it and start something else🤷From your faithful sub every day from Cape Cod , thanks Ray for making working on vehicles interesting 👍 Although I still throw wrenches better than I twist them , I'm learning patience from you as well😁👍💯
Nice one Ray
Ray I did not know that you can condem our Canadian rustie Vehicles , I still love your videos .
Rust in brake lines messes up ABS pump. rust plugs the small holes up in the block
53:30 For future reference there is a place called module masters in Moscow Idaho that rebuilds those and that’s where I got the one for my suburban as well as my avalanche and if I need one for my Yukon I will get one from there they upgrade everything better than Stock
Least it won't "seize" up
Now now Ray, be kinder to our Canadian cars. They have a hard life and we appreciate them.
From one Canuck to another, I totally agree. The "non rust belt" cars have it easy compared to "road salt hell" cars. If you're in the rust belt, get your vehicle oil sprayed, Eric O. approves👍
Hard life meaning, higher shop rates, higher cost on everything we buy buy, higher beer and liquor prices, highed gas prices and tax upon tax, upon tax. The good thing is, there free trips to the doctors, free trips to the hospital and if you are over 65, free drugs.
@@REDBIRD-95Twice a year tbh!
Once isn't enough.
Most sprayers miss or deliberately overlooked critical areas!!
@@RetroCaptain I get my vehicle done every year with non-drip oil spray, good for 18 months.
82 degrees is a bit cool!!!!Lucky you.
Nice to see that you charge the Canadian car with metric amount of cooling gas.
82F is 28C if it hits that in Northern Ireland we complain about the heat.
I bought one from NS and it’s spotless as well
I love my 99 vortec. The alt is on top and the ac compressor is also. Easy to work on.
I have lived north of the 45th parallel (MI & MN) most of my life and have never heard of oiling the underside of your truck on purpose. I've seen "self oiling" trucks but... 😂
Look up repair geek videos of lanolin or similar oil undercoating to fight against road salt.
Eric O of South main Auto has a few videos as well😊
This truck Ray is working on used a rubberized coating though
@@Kitties4321 The only thing I don't like about Krown is that they drill holes in the body, which makes me cringe😬 I get my vehicle done every year with non-drip oil spray which is supposed to be good for 18 months.
Your Florida weather has made its way down here ( Vic. Aus. ). We're heading for 36 Celcius this week ( thats + ).
As a fellow Canadian, I approve this video.
Canadian crud in Florida is just a typical day in a Canadian shop !
Good afternoon Mr Ray hope y'all have a great weekend
Ageed...'a burning desire'😛
Happy Saturday Ray. Wholly moly that is a lot of repairs. This will be a great video.
Pop le capot depuis le véhicule du Canada.
I enjoy and learn from your methods
Love the Florida mentality. If kinda cool is 82 there, I'd love to see what y'all make of the 15-36 we've been seeing in Oregon.
lol that ain’t even cold. I’m from Utah and we get 110+ summers and 10 degree winters. Folks from Oregon and California would always be fun to watch adjust when they moved here. 😂 yall can’t handle the dry cold and desert heat I would die at 82 in Florida cause I can’t deal with humidity
@@RageUnchained I spent my tween years living in Duchesne, Utah. I'm in the Southern Oregon High Desert, and we regularly get into the negative teens during winter and low hundreds in the summer. Dry and dryer. I was simply talking about current temps...
Considering southern ontario is a part of the rust belt. The rust doesnt suprise me. But, not all of Canada rusts like that.
Top-notch job on this video ~ enjoyable and informative ~ kudos.... ... .. .
KPa is a really odd way to measure Pressure. Usually it' s done in Bar. Luckily, the conversion is easy, divide by 10 :P
Seems the go pros working....thought I needed new glasses for awhile 🤓
ac blows 52 thats too cold for Canada :D
Clog it up some more.
❤ your work. Camera angles where no camera angles have gone before. 😂
It's Day-tah not dat-ah as you are correct sir. D-A-(Y)-T-A😂
I think this on most of your videos, but have never said it. You have the coolest tools.
Got a new name suggestion for your truck.. "The Silvery Esca-RAY-dough"
Teaser sneak peak at that Plymouth!!
He did a video on that rust bucket. It's not something that any rational being needs to get involved in if you are running a shop. A restoration shop, donor body and vast amounts of money and time are what's needed.
Funny Ray how the magnet light sticks to everything except the truck!!
Excellent video today Ray , this reminds of the older videos you've made.
canadian crud is it worse then american crud? or do you prefer neither? it is all the
clean florida cars have you spoiled! up in the “ rust belt” you do not have a choice.
we are starting into that heart stopping winter weather , with enough salt to dissolve
any un protected vehicle. they disappear right before your eyes! especially in the wheel
wells, and frames along with brake lines and emergency brake cables !great video Ray!
I saw Ontario truck plates. I wonder if they escaped the madness up here to more freedom down there.
P0300 is a "random multiple misfire" that usually means MAF but mine as well slap plugs and wires on it huh lol... I'd replace that receiver/dryer before throwing an A/C compressor at it.
Thanks for the video.
the resilience💪 of GM trucks are amazing .
Based on Ray's initial inspection of the suspension parts, the owner has been maintaining the truck😅
Old Gm trucks were great new ones are junk , in my opinion this was GM’s last of the good trucks and even they had problems like the transmissions
most of these cars r 20 years, it reflects the state of the economy, many can no longer afford the new ones, even with the 7 years' loan.
That is the plan... nobody can get new cars anymore except the very wealthy... just more control.
true, more and more become working slaves to basic transportation needs, 10 years car loan next.@@DeeGee-mv6eq
Watching you contort yourself in footwells is proof that mechanicing is for young thin people neither of which I am.
