Greetings: Can U say Car-B-Q? Wow. Cab a TL. I could probably save the carrier if lower, upper and slide not bent. Thx 4 the share.
Ray likes to live dangerously. Working with small parts of the fuel pump directly over the hole into the tank. I was expectantly waiting for something to be dropped into the tank. If that happened, would Ray leave it there or try to fish it out? We got our answer when he dropped the wire into the tank ... he didn't show us what he did. I'm guessing it's staying in the tank.
Did they try to run e85 through there? The high ethanol content will destroy rubber not made for it.
Ray you should think about anchoring a winch on the back wall or floor of the shop so you don't need push cars in.
Invert your gloves over your GAK
Hay Ray! did I miss something? did you check if their was more of that tar in the tank before inserting the new pump? ☹☹
Not gonna drain the tank and see if there's junk at the bottom before installing the pump? True backyard mechanic level stuff there...cringey AF
I don't know Ray, something about this video seems WEIRD !
You need a wench in the shop bolted to the concrete floor which you can then attach to a car and pull it into the garage.
Suck, squeez, bang, blow. Prerequisite for a girlfriend. Ha ha.
This video is approved by Joe Isuzu.
Danger!! Putting gas in a diesel container 😮😮😮
Hey your doing great forget about the Californians
To dress the dry belt I found using the soap from hotels , have engine running and apply soap to v belts and ribbed ones to quiet them
It's nice to see a Isuzu truck still out there. Don't see to many of them anymore. Great video.
Seems like more and more people are resurrecting these old previously parked cars to use. With used car prices so awful now I don’t blame anyone from doing this. Ray, so nice of you to honor your wife by shielding her from the leering viewers. You are a gentleman.
When removing the tank on those lsuzu's I found it easier to remove drive line then move tank towards the middle of the truck and then down and out. Then I just take a 'smack hammer driver ' and loosen the screws (miniature one)
I was a bit worried when he broke out the heat gun over a tank full of fuel but I guess it’s not as dangerous as I thought.
Anti perv pixels
The feeling here in the great midwest about Cali and Fla is "clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right....
Ray you have no rights to have opinions, it's not in the constitution. And that's all i have to say about it. (i love Forrest Gump)
REEEE. You didn't replace the washers!!!!!
Plastic melted by ethanol is my vote. I've gotten some chinesium pumps in the past with rubber/plastic parts that wasn't resistant to ethanol and ended the same way. Since it appears that pump was replaced before.
I love, love, love this channel! I've been a subscriber since you left the corporate shop and went out on your own. That took real courage and belief in yourself, you set a great example for the younger generation of mechanics Ray! I love the quality of your work and that you don't give up until you find the problem. You are a rare breed of mechanic and you set a great standard of diagnostic and repair quality in your videos. I really prefer and enjoy the longer episodes like this one, too bad the bellyacher's with a short attention span make you feel you have to keep your videos shorter. The work you put into your videos (not to mention the encoding and uploading of the videos) must take a lot of time and effort. Keep up the great work Ray, you have a real fan club out there judging by the comments I read.
That story of the tire store that you turned down for a job was something else. That people will put up with that sort of regimentation, including the loss of their freedom of persona speaks volumes about human nature. People will control you if you let them. Keep telling us these stories Rainman. They are helpful reminders.
You need to cover the hole in the tank
You can't put gas in a diesel container, You're gonna ruin everything. I'm tellin' Greta.
Ray, you can't fix stupid. Just be you and hopefully haters will move on. Love the respect you have for your wife. It clearly shows. ❤. Stay safe....
Yes, want to see the rest
❤️🥰👍🤘
Here's another trick for your gas can at the other end opisite the flow out on top near the handle drill a hole and use a bolt to screw in it remove bolt as you begin to pour the fuel will come out real fast
Gross looking soft plastic. Probably reacted with the turpentine gas and got soft or not.
That keep your tool box in the exterior storage room , Sounds like an insurance cop out to me ..
why didn't you clean the inside of the gas tank it could have some of that black stuff insid e of the gas tank
Over 7000 views within one hour. Good job Ray. Good video
Oh man, an Isuzu pickup with 64K with no rust? There are people who would pay good money for a truck like this, that you can actually work on yourself.
I stumbled across your channel during lockdown and it was one of the things that kept me sane 👍 been watching ever since. I worked in the motor trade (UK) when I left school and have always maintained my vehicles myself but I’ve still learned tips and tricks from watching you Ray. I miss the doodley-doos from your previous employment but I’ve watched you and Lauren grow your business and yes, it’s been inspiring to watch. Keep up the great work and the great content. We’re all behind you Ray 👍👍
I was stressed during the entire time of you using an open gas tank as a work bench. I think this is where the saying " there's no such thing as an accident", comes from. It would have been quite the clean-up if that blob of black GAK fell inside the opening. SMH
Good morning Ray 🌄 did you forget to eat your spinach today LOL😂😂😂
Wow your wife has a really great set of pixels on her Ray. Good man doing the right thing there ain't no man but the husband unit should seeing and thinking those thoughts And I'm sure the Wife unit appreciates that 👍
Greetings: Good show mate. Jolly good.
A boat is a hole in the water that you dump money into.
OMG gas in the DIESEL yellow CAN 🤣😂
The slimy stuff good job 👍 ray
Much appreciate another highly entertaining video. Ray 's going to top 1 million subs if he can maintain this standard of watchability. Triggers me working with fasteners and heat guns over open fuel tanks 🙂
How many of those extraordinarily expensive flashlights do you break per year ? Yes, fix it if they'll let you!
Add a can of "red" iso heat. That fuel looked like 60% water
I admire your respect for your wife unit. Thank you for being respectful and being a positive role model for our up and coming youth to follow
Funny you mentioned Canada,…. I was in Canada last weekend, and the hotel I was staying in had the same doodley-doooo phone ring tone that was at your old job. I laughed when I heard it.
Too bad that you love your job so much that you didn't check or replace the fuel level sensor while the tank was down.
