At times I ask myself, "Why don't I just work on my truck myself" then I watch these videos and I remember why , "oh yeah it would never run again"
Hahahaha. It is amazing how much he knows. And the process he goes about tackling the issues. He doesn't sweat it at all.
I do work on my own stuff and sometimes you just have to stick with it until it is done no matter how difficult it is.
i mean he only had to pull the airbox, the battery, the battery tray, AND the ECM to be able to change a hose out
I felt the same way once. But, I became a Master Barber because of my experience and knowledge. Yes, I made mistakes (Very few) but I watched and listened to people who knew more than me. Same with car repair. Raymond's experience and knowledge was gained by learning from others and making mistakes. (Very few I'll bet) Give it a try! It's only money..., lol!
@@jamessowards3822 Amen!
This was posted at the right time. First snow of the year in Chicago and came in for a break from clearing the drive. A good way to make a 15 minute break take 54 minutes.
Me: ‘There’s not enough room to send a trained hamster in there, let alone a human arm, hand and power tools’
Ray: ‘Hold my beer’
Word of advice, never let trained hamsters work on your car, not matter how many certifications they show you.
@@gridlore Do you know this from experience?
Trained squirrel is more reliable.
@@kmagnussen1052 it's very hard to ferret out good assistants! So many try to weasel out.
You are all sentenced to a punnatentry…😂
We don't always need to see all your work when your hands, lighting or something is blocking our view because your commentary fills it all in for us viewers. Great job in all you do. We all need more like you.
Every time he says “Let’s just take this whole assembly out, it’ll be easier.” I think to myself, this is how I ruin everything
I'm not sure why I'm so enthralled with your videos 🤣. I'm 63, retired military mechanic, pay everyone to do everything now 🤣🤣, haven't even got a clue what's under the hood any more, but I learn something new every video.
Thanks 👍❤️.
You have done enough in your time so it's good to leave it to the younger generation.
Same for me and I am 75...
A full shop, full racks, plus more floor space coming 👍🏼 2023 is your year Ray!
Now if only parts would arrive so the work can be done and the lifts cleared for other paying projects.
I hope my load noises didn’t mess up the recording to much on the F150 gear change.
@@jamessowards3822 At least the tools I sent him to help with those ultra tight squeezes got there :D
Are you sure ? Automotive world and making money from it’s been in decline for decades you either do the job to cheap and don’t make money .. or you put prices up and don’t get customers and lose money anyway ! Automotive businesses are not a asset they are a liability
@@iamasmurf1122 there are many of us out there who are still prepared to pay for quality. Too many times in life I have learnt that going cheap isn’t always the best option.
Rays videos are the best source for learning as he describes every single step of doing any fix and his camera angles are always in the right place to show us whats happening. Hats off to you for hard work and teaching us all.
The good thing about making TH-cam videos of you work is your customers can see just how hard many of these repairs are. Most of us would be struggling for hours before we got all the parts out of the way.
Just started watching your videos a week ago Ray. My TV put up random videos of your repairs. I just saw the one where you were fired, about an hour ago. I have just subscribed to your channel. I respect and admire people like you who hold the same honest and hard working values as I do.
I'm not a Mechanic, but I know many..... Half cool, half sorta' cool....
I'm like an umpire,....
"call 'em as I see 'em.."
You my friend, deserve all the blessings life has to offer!!!
God bless you, and may your life bring you joy and contentment. 🙏
You deserve it. 🙂
Welcome to the party 🎉 enjoy 😊
@@MitchGaar Oh, I guess most would manage in some way or the other the taking apart part. But as soon as it comes to spill containment and getting it together working again, that may get very interesting ;) Some might after a while just leave everything disconnected and throw all the parts in there, close the hood and pretend everything is fine.
@@alexanderkupke920 See the vid about the Pathfinder timing belt? Yeah.. I would have rolled it out of the building and blown it up. 😤😖
@@K.Kelly87 sounds like that might be emotionally relaxing in that situation ;)
I am always amazed at how much stuff you have to remove to complete a repair. You are one patient man.
As a dirt driveway reluctant do as little as I know how "mechanic", I appreciate shop porn where you have all the tools you need. I love watching you put something on the lift and get sh!t done. I wish I could become a mechanic at a real shop and have you as one of my mentors.
Enjoy the longer videos, and appreciate the effort you put into the production and editing of such !
I admire your ability to not use the foul language to tell that 5.5mm bolt exactly what you thought of it. You’re a better man than me
Wow ray u are busy and work waiting to come in that a sign of someone that's is good at his job
In the early 70s I worked for a Sun Oil company garage in Tulsa. It was the shop my dad had retired from. I once was working on a 1960s era Chevy 6 cylinder. Nothing special, I was to replace a leaky valve cover gasket, replace spark plugs, points and condenser. Someone walked by the front of the truck, saw me and informed me the shop foreman was looking for me. He said he’d tell the boss where I was. Where was I? I was avoiding leaning over the fender to do the work. I was inside the engine bay standing on the floor with everything I needed to work on within easy reach. My needed tools and parts on a tray balanced between the radiator and the right fender. Those days of having under hood space have been gone for years. The boss laughed at me and said I was the only one in the shop skinny enough to do that. Yes, those days are gone too.
I feel like I go over uncle Ray's everyday so he can teach me how to fix cars with all the camera work making sure we can see then explaining everything. Many congratulations on everything you do and your continued success.
I know, I missed a day. Life happens.
I do believe your business is growing nicely with repeat customers! Congratulations!
Much respect for your work ethics and level of mechanical aptitude.
Hey Ray. You have such patience. I would be cussin’ the whole time. I’ve wondered how you have the balls to post all your amazing content with the prospect of a mitch gaar complaining about an old heat destroyed electrical connector breaking. You and wife unit are amazing. Both of you keep it up.
I agree Ray you're the best.
Besides Ray has no idea how to make a soldered joint in wires. He never reflops the dingwanner before zinwabben it. So it is never going to warf.
Cussin is my stress relief
I respect your quick recovery from that differential replacement. Great resilience in the Rainman!
I dont think his Videos are in Order. But yeah some differential jobs are a nightmare.
If it were yesterday he’d still be complaining about it he was wasted after the diff job🥲
@@johnlarkin549 doodlee doo doo doo doodoo
There is a difference between have to and want to, and as I get older, the line keeps moving!
@@sw7366 I can relate to that!! What’s resilience these days? 😂😂
Great to see you so busy, Ray👍 Keep doing what you're doing🤘🤘
Looks like business is booming, that's a good thing ,
We had a minivan like that for a battery truck at a towing company! We called it , the moon machine!!! It went thru 3 transmissions carrying all that weight! The motor was holding up though! Thanks Ray for the video!!!
Hey Ray, a bit more challenging without the lift but as usual you prevailed. I felt your frustration over that battery cable routing. Then I laughed when you tried to remove the brake clean cap one handed because i knew what was going to happen. All this when you're working late and trying to get home. As always Ray, a great video. Cheers!
I was initially worried about a lack of customers, which is usually the case with a start up business, but it looks like you are doing exceptionally well, which I'm happy to see. You're on your way to a prosperous operation. 😎
its the new times customers just want to see their car on the show took me 3yrs then people begging for me to fix auto and tractors and not even
His old customers followed him.
A good mechanic/ technician, can always find work. And once you build a reputation as both good, and fair, work seeks you out.
I bet half the members here don't realize where your name is from Mr junior samples BR549 i caught that right away great profile name!!!
TH-cam has got to be the best advertisement tool ever for start-up businesses. It shows potential customers the kind of work you do, so they know what they’re paying for.
Hello I love watching your videos of repairs since I have been fighting a rare cancer now since I was 32 and iam 58 now it helps keep my mind straight Iam in a bad situation and married to a narcissistic wife who cares less about me .Plus having no family at all no one. These videos help to take my mind off some of the pain and hurt I go through everyday and night .
Stay strong, Mark. You have friends here
Stay focused on your heart temple, Mark. Sending positive energy your way, we'll see each other on the flip side.
@@sueharrison8193 Thank you since ism so alone in this world its horrible and having a wife who thinks shes perfect and everything she ddf oes do wrong is my fault .I .wish I had someone as a freind to help me through this
Great video. Thanks for spending little bit more time in doing all these jobs you share. I know filming all these videos slow you down and editing takes time away from family. Just want you to know I'm thankfull for your willingness to share your talents with us.
Loved the snidely little dig about people calling to say you can't set up a Differential properly. Just a bunch of jealous moronic Turd's who hate to see the success you are having and how well you are followed. Ignore the haters. Had a few words to say back to some of them lol. Keep doing you that is why we sub and return.
😉
They are probably “engineers “ who work on a production line doing the same job over and over Ray has multiple skills and adapts to the job in hand.his channel is for entertainment it’s not an instructional video go Ray 👍🇬🇧
Setting different and other gearboxes is an exercise in patience and sometimes futility. Put it together, check it, take it apart, wash rinse repeat. The whole process is dull and repetitive and would require a 6 part series. I reassembled a three cylinder Suzuki once that had been completely disassembled. Including the trans. I didn't have to shim anything but there was 147 different ways to put the gear train back together and only 1 that was right.
I love how you are able to find where thing goes and route even if the person who worked on this car before you got it wrong…
You really have such a dedication to repair the car the right way.
I don't know about anybody else but I'm missing that old phone ringing! Video's just aren't the same without it
Speak for yourself matey, personally, I don't miss the bloody thing! Used to wind my wife up as well and that's a no-no in any country! UK Pete.
and the calls to PEE-TAH?
Doodaly do doodaly do
Personally I don’t miss it at all as I watch the videos for Ray not a telephone
I miss it too.
Now in the new space you can put a new rollup door and a 4 post rack so that someday you can add an alignment machine
So many good one liners and no one to share them with. While reaching back into her neither regions I can't find the hole, maybe just the tip. 5.5 going down all the way down on the other side. It's a tight squeeze but I have to get it in. Its why the 8 year old in me loves your channel.
Hey Ray, nice video but you forgot to clean out the air intake nastiness that you noticed when you took the air filter box off. I can’t believe how hard they made it to change that line.
YAY!!! The break clean spray gong-a-dong is back! Thanks Ray!
Being a shade tree mechanic, I woulda fixed the leak with a piece of old inner tube and a gear clamp. 🤣
I love watching your videos I laugh when your daughter asks what you're doing May the gravitational forces be with you Have a great day
Don't you just love it when the customer sees this part and when they get the bill can't understand why it costs so much. The go thing about your videos they can see how involved it is and all that has to be removed and then reinstalled in order to replace just one small part. Great job brother really enjoy watching your videos.
Had to go back and look at the previous routing of the positive cable. Was definitely incorrect before, good job catching that one Ray.
I did the same thing. Beauty of video footage. Ray is on point. Makes me feel more normal for doing the same kind of things. I'm not alone when I find things not put back correctly and my ADD makes me fix it. LOL
Yeah it looked so obviously correct when Ray had got it done finally, and so wrong the way he initially had found it. Kinda made sense to have both battery clamps oriented the same way to line up.
Good morning from Chicago☃️ Raymond's and wife unit,😉 hope you all are having a great day today in Florida 😁well here in Illinois we're😡 freezing our butts off🤣🤣 BROTHER! ♥️👋🏻👍
Bummer, here in Florida the trees are blooming and budding and it will be 80+ (degrees not years old) for the next week.
We’re doing the same thing here in Wisconsin @stephen rogers
After reviewing the video at the 6:07 mark, I noticed that the battery cable was initially in the wrong place causing you to misremember the routing. However you properly deduced to correct installation path of the positive cable all on your own. Good job Ray.
Personally I think of few things with misrouted before Ray even got under the hood and that's why the line rub through
14:09 I think that's because most of us don't have a lift and when you're working on a car the same way most of us do, it's more relatable. I don't know. (vgg) 👍
I’m so glad to see you’re so busy with your new business. Stay safe and sound. Thank you for the great videos.
Ran into s a similar problem on a Mercedes in the 60's. There was no way to reroute the hoses to keep them from rubbing. I ended up taking a larger diameter piece of hose, splitting it and putting it around the two hoses at the rubbing point. Mercedes came out with a fix, consisting of two split pieces of hose to mount over the hoses where they rubbed. An official repair that duplicated what I thought of on my own.
“You guys can’t see anything. I’m sorry” A lot of times you can’t see or you are twisted yourself to death. No apologies need Ray. I’m no mechanic but I enjoy your content. I get frustrated changing my own oil because of a lack of space and whatever. You do this everyday. Kudos to you and the Wife Unit!
My FJ is just sitting on the lift. Please make a video on the repair.
Awesome job Ray. The shop extension looks amazing. Be nice once you have a door, and it set up.
“Sorry blue thing we don’t need you anymore, it has unalived itself.” Best ramble I’ve ever heard
Once upon a time I tried to hack up a compression fitting patch on a ps line. It lasted about 3 seconds. Drove a couple months without assist. Quite a workout! Finally threw a line on.
I used to watch sunday morning Cartoons when i was younger, now i Watch Ray.. "Roobie Roooo"! 👍😎
You work hard. I wish you and your family a prosperous 2023.
Nu View did a great job ripping out the tile.
Better plug those floor drains. If they don't drain into a grease trap rated to catch oils and greases from industrial processes, somebody will be liable for some hefty environmental quality fines.
Better yet, get demolition and construction permits from the city, or county, if not within the city limits. Flying blind without instruments is asking for trouble. Maybe not today, but eventually...
It's refreshing to see a young man with your work ethic.
A little tip about Spotify; it has shuffle and repeat settings so you can listen to the whole playlist in a random order then once it’s played through it chooses another random order and starts playing from there.
That’s a quick and easy way to extend background music
that's the "blue oval", Rainman.!!!! 👍🏼🤣
In my military career as a Bradley Mechanic we had the dirt for our lift. We had pits in the maintenance bay but when you are in the field so much the repairs happen were the vehicle breaks done and the includes changing packs out (engine transmission assemblies)
Ever watch these videos, and with the camera placement, you want to reach through the screen and hold that slippery bolt or screw or bracket, just to help? That's the sign of someone who knows how to appease an audience, and the commentary to boot! Love this channel, Ray!
Shop is really shaping up, Ray. Congrats.
14:24 - That’s Ray, always playing with his nuts and bolts.😂
We like the down and dirty stuff because that is how we have to do it. We like to see others do it the hard way! Great job as always!
You are a marvellous mechanic and video master . Just so complicated noises such calmness
I used to work at a ski resort in Swain NY, and they used Snow Groomers, which used ATF as hydraulic fluid. Every so often they had a hydraulic hose failure and it looked like a crime scene. Well eventually they realized the hose failure was due to a hose rubbing on the frame due to vibrations. They wrapped the hose up with carpet scraps and zip ties to hold it in place and, boom, no more ruptured hoses!
Shop expansion coming along very nice @Rainman Ray's Repairs
These 'regular' repairs are more profitable and satisfying - satisfying both for you and for us viewers- than the endless gear-fitting of those custom differentials. Man, what a job that was.
"That would be bad...m'kay" Did I spot a South Park reference? I would applaude that! ...m'kay.
25 yrs ago my 84 dodge pick-up steering arm sawed my transmission line like that. I broke down right in front of an old abandoned gas station in Arkansas and around back in the gravel driveway I found 2 hose clamps and an old piece of fuel line. I had a Sawzall blade in my truck so I cut out the bad spot put the clamps and hose in place and never had another issue. I sold the truck 2 yrs later.
Nice and shiny!!
Ever thought about using laser pointer pencil to help us to see points of interest (i.e. half hidden bolts, etc) in maze of wires and hoses.
Enjoy the vids❤
Then we will have at least 3 laser pointer gravity when he is not using them 😊
Ray, you remember taking that plastic holder you took off because there was on on the other pipe. You should have used it at the bottom where it sits next to the AC line to hold it away from it.
Hello from Great Pacific Northwest. I wasn’t first today but I’m not last.
Happy Sunday to you Ray, Wife Unit and mystery little x-file girl.
You deserve every success in your business Ray
The battery brush... the terminal cleaner works great and will last way longer then the cable wire cleaner. I keep plumbing coupling wire brushes. Hard to beat. I still love watching your videos.
The more repairs I see on newer cars, the more I'm convinced to get an Engineering Degree, you must check your common sense at the door.
My kid in the garage today was a Deutz 4006 tractor. 😂
Ray, sometimes you forget to say "click" when you tighten a bolt. It's critical that all fasteners are torqued properly! Don't worry, though, I find myself saying "click" for you. That way you always have proper torque on all those bolts! It's the least I can do.
He can always satisfy the torque trolls by doing what Eric O does at the end of his video when he says "and of course everything was torqued to factory specs" 😀
Let’s goo..let’s get it! 💯
I think we need to make a new playlist for Ray. Second video this week with Hoobastank “the reason” playing in the background 😂 It’s time to liven up the shop a little 😊 keep going strong Ray!
I used to enjoy working on my vehicles back in the 60's and 70's, when you could see what you were doing and had room under the hood to do it. Not anymore! New found respect for todays mechanics.
Brakecleen opening technique FAIL ! 54:19 I had a feeling this was going to happen ! Hahahah !
I guess you just said, the heck with cleaning that throttle body? 🤔 🤦♂️ 🤣 🤣 🤣
😂Yo!! I’M cracking up!!! Last part of the video trying to bang the cap off the brake clean!! And the whole, cap and nozzle come off, and then he throws the bottle into the garbage out of frustration!!!!! 😂 😆😂
I hated to see the nozzle broken off the Brake cleaner can at the end. I hope Ray can reuse an old nozzle from an empty can and save it.
I've had paint cans do that. The plastic tube that is part of the can, not the nozzle, broke off. Sadly, I know of no fix for that. :(
I enjoyed this video. Thank you.
I've seen this film many times. It's really wonderful.
I see you caught yourself before saying you do some of your best work lying on your back........😂😂😂
Yeah, those quick-connect fittings are just sooooooooo helpful !!!
I recently bought a '93 chev pickup and if you need to change a power steering line, you just disconnect it and reinstall the new one. No removing of half the engine compartment first, and putting it back together after.
Its great to see you so busy!!
Flashlight with laser pointer would be a cool upgrade for pointing out lines and parts in the depths of an engine bay for us observant viewers 😉
In the UK they're called Transit Connect.
Videos like this remind me why I am not a mechanic. :)
Ray, you sound so much more enthusiatic since you opened your shop!!! I am thrilled to watch you through your journey.
I think it's great that the OEM's have gone to securing fluid lines with pop in fittings held by actual bolts, instead of threaded in fittings. It really reduces the chances of crossed threads and twisted up tubing.
Good job Ray 👍
28:26 That blue cable wrapped around is killing my OCD
some 12 years ago I had an '88 Taurus wagon that I think my wife loved way more than the dog and me combined .... power steering line was leaking, 'and' the PS pump had been whining for a long time. I was for junking the car due to busted bumper covers, cracked light lenses, etc. the wife insisted on repairs, so I took it to the garage and had the mechanical repairs done while I froze my a$$ off (winter in Missouri!) scrounging around the pick-a-part rounding up body parts which I installed on her car. wound up spending around $1000 fixing up her baby which was at best maybe a $400 car at the time.
happy wife, happy life, right? ..... and life goes on. 😁
Going from a 90s chevy truck when I was a teen in which I did an engine in cam swap to what cars are now, I have made respect for mechanics. The simplest things are amplified with the addition of electronics/sensors/etc. I was scared to even do minor maintenance on my newer cars, you videos helped me grow to do more. It is all about patience and common sense (the only thing I still have no idea about is differential and transmission work)
As I watch Ray with these job I’m reminded of what Clint Eastwood would say “ man’s got to know his limitations “ that’s why I wouldn’t do this myself. Nice job Ray
Thanks for showing the trick to that hood. I would have gone nuts trying to figure that one out! 😂
Caught a video on time 👍🏻
