Damn Ray, 4 new calipers, 4 new rotors, new front wheel bearings, new rear wheel bearings, new front and rear brake pads, all new brake hoses, and 2 new front axle shafts.... It should drive and stop like a BRAND NEW truck again! That is a BUNCH of new parts all at once! Nice work, Sir!
Along with recent upper control arms, ball joints? tie rods, sway bar and mounts, shocks front and rear. Also add performance enhancements and exhaust and Heavy duty bumpers front and rear. Ray needs to make sure Wife Unit can take a test drive.😁 She REALLY liked it before.
@@charlessmarr7107 Yes, all of that stuff, too! I didn't forget, I was just referring to the items in this one video. That truck IS a brand new 2007 Chevy 1-ton dually. Lol.
@@charlessmarr7107 Never trust a wife unit with your favourite toy they get jealous!
Ray, it never bothers us if your working on your vehicle or a customer's - it's you, doing your stuff. Were happy to watch. It never ceases to amaze me just how much you know your stuff - you really are knowledgeable.
Every morning I wake up, make a coffee, tune into Ray and then my day is started. Thank you Ray for edumacating me, waking me up and setting me up for my day. We love you Ray!
I say same thing. anything he record we get good glimps of family and mechanic time :)
Except when it doesn't get posted till mid-day. my schedule gets all messed up.
Agree a Ray video and Coffee in the morning to hopefully start a great day👍
I am relieved to see that MANY begin their day the exact same way I do. Alarm, coffee, Ray and then... MORE COFFEE lol.🙏💜
Yup, I watch from Japan so just before bed I see a new video but wait until the AM to watch with coffee.
The cobbler's children are always the last to get new shoes. There is always other people to serve and help before yourself. Great Videos Ray keep it up!
As a coblers son I can confirm
I’ve been watching since just before you were “fired” and I’ve learned three things… a hammer is an indispensable tool in the shop, everything is a hammer, and break clean fixes everything… 😂😂😂 love the videos, thanks for the content
#1 click, no torque wrench required.
#2 when things get tough, escalate the level if violence.
#3 Russian and German accents help parts get fixed. "Opening Z-Auto"
yep, i clean my AR with brake clean
I am glad that most mechanics are this way. In the 90s, my dad was a mechanic at a Ford dealer, but our family cars always needed repair work. He kept telling me he did customers' cars first because he needed to make a living, and after working on other people's cars all day, the last thing he wanted to do at home was more work on cars.
Also, when you know what's wrong with the car and what it all means, you can do triage.
Using brake cleaner on brakes is like using duct tape on ducts. It’s a little meta.
Funny thing - you should never use duct tape on ducts (ask any HVAC tech). 🤪
Yes,no duct tape on ducts! Same for mink oil,it will never ever stop one from squeeking! Lol! We use high temp foil tape(scrim tape) or butyl backed tape!
@@rjm7168 I have heard it is really “duck” tape - as in duck cloth (canvas fabric). Corrupted in usage to “duct”. The current products called “duck tape” are treated as a play on “duct tape”.
Try using it on ducks, that’s beyond meta, then you move on to mental! 😂
Or anti seize compound on any seizures.
The plumber's sink leaks the electricians power panel over heats the mechanics truck has no rear breaks. Fantastic videos, thank you Ray.
😂
Are you going to agree with the customers diagnosis on this one??😅
I have a snap ring that is in geosynchronous orbit over Lake Erie !
😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
There is something so satisfying to see new, shiny parts installed; especially when it is a beefier upgrade.
I like how when Ray does fast forward, he continues audio at normal speed, instead of us hearing Chipmunks. I doubt he was first to do that in this genre, but its clever.
What do you think about the X Files theme when his kids are in the background? That always makes me smile.
I know that every time I watch a Ray video, I feel like I am getting an expert-level class on how to do proper mechanics and diagnostics work while not ripping people off. Keep up the good work, and I am so glad your independent shop is expanding and doing so well. I am also glad you have been able to hire an additional mechanic so you can help more customers. I wish I lived closer so I could have my vehicles worked on by Ray and Co. Keep up the great work
I agree. Have you been able to work on cars before? I used to back in the day but now that I moved I no longer have the tools.
There are some great models that you could get and build. My first was a clear chevy 350 engine. It showed the internal parts and how things move. You might find building such models educational and satisfying. 😊
Take it easy, and have a great morning.
I think Ray is probably the best mechanic on the planet. I crave his videos.
@@kg-WhatthehelliseventhatI haven't seen those models in a while. I always thought they were pretty cool.
@jeffduncan9140 That was very helpful but when I tried to repair something on my 67 chevy truck I did not account for the fluids. I think I was changing the intake manifold maybe, and I mixed oil and water... IDR it was 20 years ago.
Have you built any type of model recently? There is a bad ass gas engine that is so damn detailed! Donut was building it. The toys kids have now are wild. I would like an RC plane or a sub with a cam for live footage then and this would be ideal, hook it up to a VR headset so I could get the pov from the plane or sub as if I am behind the controls.
Could you imagine flying around your neighbourhood with an RC and your view is just like a real plane? That would be dope. Lastly, have you seen the chemistry sets for adults. Everyone make the joke it would just be a dru9 lab but whatever. I would like to refine precious metals after I gain the full understanding how to do so. Let that pay for the other toys.
What hobbies or interests are you into or would like to get into?
The Rainman becomes an artist when he gets a hold of those brake cleaner spray cans, and for one brief shining moment, he is not a mechanic.Thanks for an excellent brake cleaner session, complete with violent throw down. It made my day.
I worked on vehicles for years & never used brake clean till I watched Ray.Have a great day
26 minutes in, trying to drive a bearing out with the hub on a squishy cardboard box
🙃🤣
Beat me to it!
Yeah, that was a nice touch
I am constantly amazed at what you can (mostly) do with 1 hand on your vehicles... Love your work! I wish more mechanics had your capability and integrity.
No doubt! I tried pouring water from a distance the other day and mimicked Ray. Needless to say... I burned my hand on the hot water.
My wife saw me and said, "You are not that car guy!"
To which I reply, "Loud noises!"
Have a wonderful day, and may you have many cups to come.
I thought he was a one armed mechanic for about a year.
And a very clever idea to not show Troy shaking his head, we know he was doing it.
FINALLY!!!! I have been waiting for the front end project on the Silveryrado! Please don't ever change or reduce your commentary... it's how dummies like me learn. I am very relieved to see some love and maintenance on the truck. But you did make one fatal mistake... YOU CROSSED THE STREAMS OF THE BRAKE CLEAN... you NEVER cross the streams lol. Thank you Ray for another educational and awesome video.🙏💜
@@ralphmbellamy6517 Absolute TRUTH! Could you even begin to fathom the amount of brake clean that Ray would go through if he had a recharging can system filled via 55 gallon drum? GOOD GRIEF🙏💜
Leaving your vehicle at the shop is like leaving your child at daycare overnight. Great video. Can't wait until Part 2 comes out!
That's a very stark and dark comparison, I would have settled for, Leaving your wooden leg with an arsonist
tip for the day ;)
if you move the brake pedal down some, using a piece of wood or tool for this between the brake pedal and the driver's seat, it will prevent brake fluid leaking from Caliper
My wife will ask me why are you replacing this or that there's nothing wrong with it? My answer: because it's apart. I'm not paying twice to disassemble something and put it back together when I already have it apart because it's going to fail sooner or later. Logical. Yes I watched Star Trek and got my wisdom from Spock. And preventive maintenance is a better option than catastrophic failure and sitting on the side of the road.
Thanks for letting us see a full floater, Ray. I always had an idea of what a full floater was, but you never really understand until you see it taken apart. No different, really, than a pre hub assembly front axle on a Jeep Dana 30.
I cannot wait to see the your 3rd lift bay and new roll up door installed.
You don't narrate too much. For those of us who have no clue what you're doing or why, the narration is really helpful.
A "Trans Van" . . . so many jokes loaded into that! youtube would be VERY grumpy !
Ray never hammer out something on a soft surface like a box as it absorbers the energy of your hammering.
The dually looks good in the air at the end of the video, like a Starwars Speeder. Lol This was a good one. It's good to know you've got new brakes and bearings when you haul and tow heavy stuff. Fresh grease and brake fluid too. That's a good truck and it will serve you well.
Chris Fix and Mr O keep their work area much cleaner! Just a observation.😂
I was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO glad that you added that stand to the rear of the truck to prevent it from tipping.
I am so proud of you for NOT doing some shady up sales to the customer 😁
Like changing the tires over to summer air.
Blinker fluid thats not cheap either unless you go to the right place (Walmart)
That's his own truck he is the customer 😂
@@clbcl5 To be fair, some people do not know to bleed the excess air from their tires when summer temperatures arrive. Tire pressure sensors report low pressure but I've yet to see one report high pressure. The tires on my truck are supposed to be inflated to 39 lbs. When there is a sudden temperature drop, properly inflated tires will read 39 lbs. in the evening when the temperature is in the 70's but read only 32 to 33 lbs. the next morning when the temperature is below freezing. Obviously, if the cold weather will persist, then the tires need air added to bring the pressure up to 39 lbs. However, when the temperature rises this "correct" 39 lbs. pressure at low temperatures will increase to nearly 50 lbs.
The is an actual need to have tires adjusted to "summer air" pressures for ride stability and to prevent excess tire wear.
@@clbcl5 Like a brain surgeon performing a lobotomy on himself with an I-phone
Ray you just showed to us how you breeze thru replacing those bearings hubs and rest of components, i have to admit these parts are heavier customers for sure, anyhow you made it look so easy and i admire for the work you do and patience you display to show us how to do it the safe way, thank you Ray, awesome video!
my old man used to say - a inch is as good as a mile. your 'over narration' is actually very informative - because you're a good teacher. Diesel Creek (u-toob channel) says 'anything's a hammer if you use it wrong enough'.
It's amazing how much faith we put in plastic, clamps, and snap rings.
Those caliper hangers are cool, but when it’s super heavy old style bailing wire for the win. Great video and I’m glad Ray didn’t get hurt when that caliper fell.
I used dry cleaner coat hanger wire for a long time, but when I tried the newfangled S hooks, well, they're really good! Hard to put my finger on it. They seem to stay put? Quick and easy to use? $10.99 I don't regret spending at all.
The X Files drops are starting to be my favorite thing lol.
19:24
Starting to reawaken my childhood nightmares
Using brake clean to clean brakes! What a concept!
Best thing I’ve ever done was my neighbor ran a mechanic shop out of his shop. Just as I did out of mine. Let’s say we enjoy this. I worked on his and he worked on mine. Great trade off. We’re both very tedious so it worked out. 😊
Oh the horror!! Brake clean being used on....BRAKES 🥶
Living on the East Coast of Canada, when I change from my winter tires to my all season, I remove my brake slide pins to clean and regrease them to make sure no rust gets in there. I also do some under coating as needed to keep good rust control. Love your videos and have picked up a lot of tips on what to look for.
I can’t get over how clean and rust free it is. Must live in the southern states.
Given the extensive replacement of parts on the rear axle, I thought you might change the emergency brake shoes too. They looked at little worn and since EVERYTHING was apart and they are deep in the assembly...
Why would anyone get upset about you doing repair or maintenance on your vehicles Ray? We enjoy watching you do your thing regardless of the thing you working on.
People were talking smack, saying he needed to work on customers' cars to pay the bills. Basically, just dumb people talking garbage.
Exactly. Why would it be different if it was someone else's truck? It's still the same job.
When I used to work on customers vehicles everything went so nice. It's when I worked on my crap everything would go wrong lol hate working on my stuff but it has to be done.
8:42 - I'm late, but I just wanna say... without narration, I have no idea what's goin' on sometimes. Thank you for your narrations, sir. They help a lot!
You are asking for trouble reusing wheel studs. They are made to install once and only once. When they spin in the hub or start popping under a heavy load, you'll wish you changed them
They'll be fine.
@rjm7168 When the duels come off and go through someone's windshield and wipe out a family, can you stay that.
The tires come off and make Kia Souls fly, that's all. No one dies any more, this isn't the 70's...😅😂😅😂😅😂😅
I really enjoy your videos!
I've watched your stuff for a few years now but have never commented.
I admire your skills and knowledge.
It's also nice to know I am not the only one who struggles with wrong parts, broken/stripped bolts, and all the misc things that go wrong!
I like the way you handle adversity.
Thanks, Ray - for all the great videos!
I do remember Lisle making an attachment for air hammers that is cupped on the business end. It's advertised as a hub assembly removal tool for Dodge hubs, but it looks like it would be perfect for driving those wheel lugs out.
I think we should note for all the 40mm plus wheel spacer guys. Yes massive factory spacers, notice the size and how many nuts are holding it in place
Ray, I’m sure there will come a day when you and Troy are working on different cars and we hear ‘click’ or ‘gravity’ in rapid succession, like an echo in the shop😅
Always interesting on what type of work has to be done, always informative.
Thank you Ray for the instructions on what has to be done to repair the issues.
21:12 I love it when mechanics flash me.🤣
Good catch! I didn't notice that until you brought it to our attention... that Troy is a trickster! Close association with Ray? Osmosis? Ray is rubbing off on Troy? Eeeks! Two Rays? Run for the hills! 😄
@43:53 "Viewer down! Viewer down!
I'm okay. 😂
Thanks for this excellent episode Ray.
-SALUTE-
Funny - as soon as you said grease from leaky boot, I knew you were going to replace the CV axles and fail to get them out without removing the sway bar link. I've done these axles a lot!
I was shouting at the screen "take the sway bar link out!" Lol!
I managed to get the rf out without 🤷♂️
I enjoy the videos, whether it's your personal vehicle and/or wife units or a customer vehicle. Always enjoyable to watch. It makes my day or evening.
When I was growing in the 60's & 70's the mechanics cars always needed work! In 69 I was 10 and asked a mechanic why? He said you don't get paid for working on your own car. It breaks then fix it ! In a way your lucky doing front bearings on a 1 ton bigger spindles more room. Yesterday I replaced the originals on my Taho with 190k miles caliper had to come apart to get the stuck pad housing and the wheel bearing bolts you couldn't get an impact on cuz of the boot . Broke my first ever Craftsman 6 point 15 mm! That spacer is wild!
Rainman Ray's Repairs... Awesome video bro. Gotta love all the extra work required on the dually.
One of the first things I would have done in your workshop is removed that stupid door and re-organised the access to the LH hoist.
Its his troll of his viewers. We will know when he has hit it and screwed something up. We will know because the door issue will be addressed . . . suddenly.
@@handbananaistherapist642 I pray he hits a new car with that door, 1 million views for sure.
wow that is a great design for easy maintenance good thing rear brakes don't wear out as fast as fronts do
I understand you putting this off as long as possible it a tough job.
I can't believe the bolts standing vertical on the leaf spring did not fall down while you were hammering off the first rotor. Also, the gentle set down of that 3rd can of brake clean got me... 😆
Good afternoon Ray I want to take this time to say thank you once again for a great video I learned a lot more than you can imagine . Also want to say thank you very much for going into some detail on the disassembling and reassembling of the front end and for that I am very grateful. God bless you your family and your friends and all your viewers on this channel. ✝️✝️✝️🇺🇸
Ray, you may want to install two more fans on the upper left wall too. Multi-directional ventilation is superior to just cross ventilation. There is greater chance of either the back wall or side wall being covered in shadow at one time or another. A shadow will provide cooler air and a sun exposed side. Anyway, just an idea.
Thanks!
Good point, fans mounted high take the hot air out
Gov DeSantis is outlawing fans.
Move to a cooler state like north carolina...fla is not fir humans..its alligators and snakes..thats why it's a swamp
@@GuysPlayingWithTools
I agree.
Heck, add some solar panels! Except in winter, the stronger the sun, the more fan you need.
No, you don't narrate too much. I appreciate the explanations.
Played this one at 2.0x speed. Works well.
Hey Ray, since you're in Florida, did you charge the customer for the anti-mosquito spray treatment on the air filter and cabin filters?
The painters house is always flaking, the plumbers house the taps all leak, and the mechanics car is badly maintained... this is human nature
And the Carpenters house always needs an addition. It just never ends...
You got it going on brother ,I'm pretty good with my hands and had some good teachers throughout the years and really enjoy working with you even if it is is from the lazy boy.
I watch Ray's videos to lear how to do everything one handed. Never ceases to amaze... I would love to work on some clean Florida stuff. Even our rust rusts up here...
I understand, I have so many projects. My vehicles are the least of them. House work here mostly.
In the slight chance no one else knows this, if you depress and hold the brake pedal, then the fluid reservoir will not empty out of the brake lines when you are working on them
Poor old truck works as hard as you do. Nice you give it love when you can.
I think your mechanic was doing his Arnold Schwarzenegger imitation….Aaaahhhyeee
Ray
It's always a good idea when replacing calipers. To crimp off the hoses and cut them straight off. It will save you from getting bludgeoned to death. Or a trip to the hospital.
Saw it coming when you first tried to balance it in the arm above. Please have better health and safety at work. And keep up the comantary
I have the same truck! Luv the dirty gal... I installed "dry ice" rear pad/rotor cooling setup! Got an average of 234k MORE miles per rear brakes via this God send fabrication!
i retired from being a automotive mechanic & restorer last June 2022. i can truthfully say that after all these years, i have never had to do any work to any dually pickup trucks, of course i live in a area that no one needs a dually, so it is interesting to see how a dually's rear end comes apart. Love your videos Brother, be safe in all that you do out there.
I just have to concur with everyone else.
I actually love to see you work on your own stuff, nothing wrong with that.
I've done this same job but on a chevy dually with drums in the rear. It had the 307 olds gas running high compression and pretending it was a diesel. The drums were huge.
14:35 - Love the song in the background.
Ray: "Ok this should be simple..."
Brake Calliper: "Hold my beer..."
Back in the day of vacuum television sets service was required about every 90 days on average. The one person whose TV set suffered the most was the technicians own set because he was so busy servicing everybody elses set. I suspect it is the same for many techs in many fields. Including yours.
Ray, I also do a lot of towing with my 3500 dually, and I also had same issue with heat cracks on my rotors. it led me to check the brakes on my trailer to which I discovered an electrical issue with my trailer brakes. so when hauling 15k and brakes intermittently disconnecting, it didn't take too long to have to do a full brake job on my daily.
Love your content, good to see you on your own. keep it up.
I just recently started watching your channel. Love it your a man of great patience and always keep a possitive attude on these repairs. Keep up the good work.
Today I installed the new LED workshop strip lights I bought back in Jan 2021!
So with you on delaying doing your own jobs Ray!
I think your personal motto / tag line should be "Every horizontal surface is a table." :)
Parts hold and need a ride home. Gotta love it !
Your not alone.
After working all day waiting for beer-30 it's really hard to pull the pin on your own stuff.
Thanks again Ray ❤
Same as being a superintendent. Repairs in our units never get done
1:50 167 inch wheelbase and a turning radius of 'freight train'
17:10 That's basically the modern version of "For Want of a Nail"
Ray you seem to be in love with brake clean. Lol every time I see you use it, it's always over kill. Lol. Love your content man. Keep up the great videos.
Really enjoyed this Ray.....full service brake job on your own truck...oddly...I feel more satisfied than usual!!!!
Never buy a car from a car mechanic. True a hundred years ago and true today. I completely understand Ray.
Metal shop teacher in high school said anyway you can use a tool without hurting it , is the correct way to use it . Stay safe , have fun.
If you lived in New York state, that truck bed would be on the floor right now.
19:31 Always nice to see Wife Unit and Child Unit.
Should send this to auto tech Mike, he will love them brake lines lol, and especially those front wheel bearings 😆
it is like any profession theirs always gets done last because they are always busy so take any notice of people getting at you as we know you are a great mechanic , thanks for the video
I love class 8-trucks because when doing this job on one of those, you can get the races out with a hammer and a punch.
Thanks a lot Ray, I never performed maintenance on a dually rear wheel vehicle now I know how to do it.
Growing up in rustbelt,
I always use antiseize between the brake tubing and its hollow screw.
They always come loose when I want them to !
I watch your channel. I watch 'Just Rolled In'. The last few months noticed a metallic sound on brakes. Needed four rotors and pads. My normal repair place thought it was funny when I told them I watched bad brakes on you tube to only have the same problem. Least my rotor were still there, and not worn through.
Don't feel too bad about metal to metal brakes.
Love the channel and content and I hate to correct you but your truck has a semi-floating rear axle and not a full floating as you stated. The axle has an integrated drive flange and that makes it semi floating. A full floating has splines on both ends of the axle shaft and the axle drive flange has mating splines. Keep up the good work!
