I was doing a tire rotation and oil change. Wife comes into the garage, “why do you keep saying CLICK?” I said, “Wife Unit! How am I supposed to know bolts are properly torqued?!” She said, “Don’t call me Wife Unit” and went back inside. She’s still a keeper.
She wouldn’t understand 🥲
Lmao
That actually works so you remember that you tightened them all
I do the click sounds too but I got it from AvE. Toss in a grunt as well with the click.
hurah, click!
Don't call me wifey unit! LOL it's way better than being called the wife. Pick your battles.
As a business owner myself the irony that you have two two post lifts and an entire workshop that you pay good money for and you end up working outside on the gravel is not lost on me love the videos keep up the good work
Better doing it that way than pushing that heavy beast
With all the Shit on the back , the Two-Post lift might not have lifted it .
Push 5 ton O fun...
It happens a lot in the mechanic world.
Ray doesn't have all his little friends anymore to help him push that big monster into the shop sorry I had to work that way but I've been in the same spot and fixed it and then drove it up by myself have a great day
I've a mechanic for 42 years worked at dealers, independent repair shops and have my own shop. And I think your videos are great I've told my workers and my grandsons and everyone to watch your videos they are very educational and I like the way you do things and show how and why. Thank you.
STATEMENT: I am not a mechanic. CONTENT: But I love to watch you go thru the process. What I really like is the side comments (Open-ze the hood. Or, Powering down … then, makes the power down noise … every time!). Your processes are methodical, I’m sure from years of wrenching. But the comments and noises are purely personal flavor. They are what make you … you. Thanks for bringing us along for the ride. Love the videos! PS: If you we’re local, I would definitely trust you with my vehicle repairs.
The effort you put into putting these videos together for us is IMMENSELY appreciated. Going across town dog tired in the wee hours trying to find something to finish...that's devotion. I hope you were able to sleep in a bit extra that morning. Thanks again...your family is very very lucky to have you !!
Remember , he said ,,,. It was Saturday one or two minutes of that day ,. Need to rethink of your writing skills , a teacher in English, ,,

Well stated
Cardboard boxes are great for crawling under trucks plus they absorb stains
I do not know about everyone else, but I am grateful for all of the effort you put into these videos!
Agree!! Well done Ray!!
Well that's why I do the Patreon thing.. because well... all the effort, and the humour
With the new starter, you may have just doubled the trucks value. Depending on how full the gas tanks is.
Hey Ray, just wanted to say that I’m extremely impressed at how fast you made this new chapter of your life happen. I’m sure it wasn’t as fast for you and your family, but you still pressed in and moved forward.
Thank you for driving back to the shop in the middle of the night for us Ray.
lol
This was definitely one of the best videos because this is how most viewers will be fixing their cars, on their back or on the ground. Thanks Ray
It's one of the reasons why I like ChrisFix. He does everything in his driveway with tools the home mechanic would normally have, or be able to get.
@@WastedTalent- this coming from someone who's CZcams name is wasted talent, IT'S TRUE CHRIS FIX HAS AT LEAST 10 MILLION DELUSIONAL DEFECTIVE FOLLOWERS
I think they used to call us shade mechanics (under the shade of a kerbside tree)
@@muller9215 we used to call it street mechanics.
Lay down a nice big piece of cardboard under there and take a nap.
Ray congrats on your recent move and new business. We have just put to bed our 7 day business and closed it at end of a seven year lease. We had very little control over costs as it was a franchise format. I really hope you have purchased the building or plans to eventually do so. Keep control of all your actual costs, that way your integrity will be kept intact. Work only a set amount each day, including keeping up with the books and spending quality time with your family. Don't short change the family, They are priority one. Supervise an apprentice or two, do not let your skills and your positive attitude go to waste.
That "brand new" starter that the owner claims they "just installed" didn't look very new at all to me!!!! love your videos, rainman!....keep 'em comin'!
Oh I did have to have a laugh at Ray trying to say that he's carrying without actually saying that he's carrying 😂
It’s Florida everyone carry’s
Carry everywhere you can. Work (if you can, I do sometimes myself) , church, grocery shopping. In today's world, you never know what can happen when you're out and about.
@@TOXIC-jq3ry Sounds like a very sad country to live in 🤷♂️

@@jesuslovesyou5819 I would argue that they are hurting our families.
The automotive repair industry needs more honest and reliable mechanics such as yourself Ray. I like to be able to bring my vehicles into a shop and know I am gonna get helped and not screwed. Keep these awesome videos coming!!
I agree with you 100%. I quit working for a shop that was screwing people. I worked the office and did oil changes, tire rotations and a few other small things. Im far from being a master mechanic. More like a shade tree. The owner of the shop was out for nothing but money . He would quote a customer and say they wanted life time warranty parts. Well he would buy the cheap one year parts but charge for the expensive ones. He had a contract with a company that transported disabled and senior citizens. They stayed on top of all the preventative maintenance along with repairs. He would charge them 80 buck for a oil lube and filter package. At the most he would change the filter and top off the washer fluid. I seen him pull some shit. I could not continue to work for someone who was screwing people over. I have lived whats considered in poverty level most of my adult years and know what its like to struggle. I could look these people in the eyes when they came to pick up their cars. His business went under about 2 yrs later. I do have a friend who has his own shop that I met when I sold him parts from the salvage yard I worked at. He is honest, works with people, very good at what he does and even teaches the mechanics class at one of the colleges. He has helped me out in a bind when I get stumped working on my cars.
Ray I throughly enjoy your channel and content. You bring back a lot of memories growing up when a mechanic went the extra mile for the customer. I had a electrical problem with my car which was problematic. He came out to my work place at 8pm with two books on the electrical he found out that it was a 5 amp connection at the computer. People like you only come along one in a million. You are a very talented person you take your time and explain why you are doing something. You make learning fun.
Appreciate the dedication to put this all together for us. Living out in the sticks, I will lay down a large piece of cardboard when I have to climb under my truck or have to work on the ground. Keep up the grind on this effort. I am happy for you and the rest of Team Ray.
I call that a disposable creeper.
Out in Wyoming we have to do cardboard or a moving blanket on the ground, to lay under the vehicle, because there are little prickly pear cactus plants hidden in the grass! (Hard to remove the spines from areas on your backside that you can't see) 🤣
Had an ex-gf do that in her garage, then she discovered that it was a bad idea to leave big brass staples sticking up out of the cardboard - flat tire
@@lorrainehoffman1307 Anything like sand burrs? Those are nasty, part Kryptonite.
People throw them plastic bed liners away all the time . Pick them up and cut a 4’ X 8’ section out of it , better to lay on than cardboard . Cut with a circular saw . 7/9/23
Nice to see the amount of dedication it takes to not just do your job but then to put it all on CZcams. Thought about this myself and I realize the Epic undertaking it can be. Appreciate all your efforts.
A little tip on U-Joint, wrap some electrical tape around the joint so that it doesn't fall over on you in tight places. It still allows the joint to swivel, but makes it much easier to get into places like this. A trick I learned removing the upper transmission bolts using 36"' long extensions.
36 foot? Dang that's a long extension. Would give a guy noodle arm quick trying to hold that up! lol 🤣
I use the electrical tape trick all the time!!!
@@brnmcc01 yeah Most of the time it’s 36” worth of half inch extension. But all the beer drinking has conditioned my arms for that exact moment lol
I would have used some anti seize in the bolts as well.
@@brnmcc01 It was a big, VERY big transmission!
"I take personal safety first and foremost" winks at Mr .45 on the hip
as a guy who doesnt work on cars, I love your videos
Ohh that start up listen to those timing chains slap. Combined with the scary electrics and a battery that is too small..:no maintenance ever done on this rolling disaster. Excellent stuff Ray. It lives to die another day!
Good ol 5.4 3 valve
We appreciate your effort making these videos more than you know Ray. Thanks for the great content, I enjoy your comments while fixing vehicles. Especially the innuendos you sneak in there.
You didn't fail Ray, you have a bunch of us watching life's little barbs that we all get from time to time. It's nice to know I am not alone on the sea of life haha. Good video.....Go Pro's are cool.
Ray is the true MVP of mechanic-tube 😁
Up late in Cali again Ray ! That's my same battery . .$185 at walmart ! So glad to see things are going well ! I bet wife unit and the kids are glad they can spend more time with Dad at the new place !! I enjoy your videos. . even the stubborn bolt ones. . . must see the win over those. . ! ! You make life interesting ! :) I wish you continued SUCCESS !!
The rest of America thought you cali folk were going back to peddling cars like the Flintstones. Didn't realize 12 volt batteries and fuel was still a thing out that way lol
@@briscoesjug1026 I would rather have a Flintstone foot peddler instead of an Electric fire bomb like the politicians out here want us to purchase that's for dang sure. . I may just move back to Wyoming where I can drive what and how i want to . .including my lawn mower. . meaning the wacky Governor out here pushed a bill into law by next year I believe or 2024 ..can't buy any gas powered lawn equipment. . AND the funny thing is the power grid out here sucks.. I don't think they can support all this electric "stuff" .. so now I hear they're going to revitalize a Nuclear plant that they shut down awhile back . .cuz #1 - J BIden..just gave the Utility company PG&E a billion bucks to renovate it. . PG&E is the same company who. . asked for a rate hike to upgrade gas pipelines and clear bush around power transformers...BUT PG&E used the money instead to pay the executives more salary. . so that's why all these fires in CALI because they didn't do what they were supposed to . . i used to like living here.. but not anymore. . its been ruined
@@gregusjay Yeah man, it's really a shame what bs you guys have to go through in CA. So many BEAUTIFUL places to live in that state, but as a "gearhead", it's one place I'd never be able to live.
@@billymanilli amen !

Ray love your videos. As a mechanic myself I really enjoy watching someone else getting into situations that seem non ending but sticking with it and getting the job done. Keep up the good work creating great videos for us to enjoy.
I'll bet, a significant number of mechanics watch this channel!
Mechanical engineers design stuff to work. Not to be easily worked on and repaired
And a significant amount of non-mechanics searching for knowledge 👈
And us shade tree DYI ers appreciate seeing the needed perseverance . It’s weirdly comforting to see that some things are a pain for the professionals as well…. …. But tenacity and a good attitude can carry the day. We win!
The hand shaking is called subconscious competence. I learned it fast in law enforcement for the defensive aspect of the job so you don’t get hurt. You are perfectly fine! Love the videos as usual!!
We appreciate the effort you go to for the regular updates! A midnight run to retrieve an errant camera... Literally going the extra miles there!
Running to the shop at midnight shows us just how much work and devotion Ray puts in his informative, entertaining and humorous videos. You’re a real trooper Ray! Thank you for all you do!
When you’re the owner you do things you’d never do as an employee.
@@charlescurran1289 Yep especially when you're just starting up your business, there is no such thing as "taking a day off" or set time off, you're constantly working.
Yeah, but since he works for himself now he doesn't have to come into the shop till noon.
Shows up how much time and effort he spends for clout and how little time he actually works and why he got fired and why his own business won't work out :P
@@beardsntools You sound jealous.
Those starters are a pain in the butt only because of that top bolt. This is the same setup as my '07 Lincoln Town Car. I really admire your passion and patience for doing the work that you do Ray! I'm so glad you were able to get an independent shop of your own! Keep the great video content coming!
I pulled a trans on a 15 f250 6.2, horrible
You ain't see nothin' till you pull a starter from an Audi A4! Ask me how I know, LOL!
After about 100. replacements it gets really easy . I leave the bottom bolt on loosely until last and start the top first .
@@CitEnthusiast I had a Fiat many years ago. That obscene machine needed a new starter motor. To remove the starter I had to remove the exhaust and the exhaust manifold. Just to get to the starter. Sheesh!
This brings back so many memories of myself doing the same thing when I was a teenager. The worst part for me was doing it in the winter in Buffalo NY. It rarely broke down in the summer! Lol Great video!
Thanks for the insight into difficulty of reaching the unseeable/unfindable starter bolt,,,and just how difficult doing filming and editing can be...glad you figured it all out...
Hey Ray. This video reminds me of my very first mechanical undertaking. I had a 72 Plymouth Satellite when I was 16yo. This was in the years of the mullet. Starter went bad. I didn't have the money to get it expertly repaired by a professional. And one of my buddies claimed "It would be easy" and we could do it. It was September in good ole Pine-ellis country... and it was hot. So we jacked er up and after emptying half the tool box under the car, got the old one off. Then realized we had the wrong starter. Had to drive around to 3 stores to find the right one. Upon installation of said unit...I think it took the two of us 3 hours to get the top bolt in. After all we only had a cheap set of craftsmans...no wobbly bits...like one extension...and had no clue how to to be resourceful. Entire job took about 6 hours. But we were so dang proud when the car fired up... Thanks for all that you do Ray. Thanks for sharing so much of yourself with us.
I drove through a stream over a concrete slab during high water my starter motor shattered inside my 72 Town and country wagon it got towed into town the next day a friend gave me a ride to the local parts store down the road in his Hudson after that I took the starter motor apart replace the brush holder which was plastic and broke apart put it back together put the starter in and fire her up and went home a happy man have a great day
Good to see you in the new shop and doing great work as always man! Gotta replace water pump on my 4Runner this week so that should be fun and prove to me that I am glad I do not do this for a living but guys like you and youtube videos really help me out and I always learn something!
record it ;-)
@@Onemanstrash1 And don't forget to say "click"!
Great video, as an old retired boat captain, worked in a lot of tight spaces. On my F350 I replaced the top bolt with a stud. Makes the install easier. Keep ‘em coming!
Captain Jack
Nice video and thanks for all the recording and step by step instructions.
Ok I'll be the one to say it.... NO SAFTEY STANDS!? NO GLOVES!? You could have been under that vehicle and if the tire suddenly deflated you'd been a goner. This is YT, never get under a non jacked up vehicle with out a life jacket. Gosh you have so much to learn 😐
If the frame suddenly broke I could have been crushed. There was a lot of weight in the dump bed. 😬
@@RainmanRaysRepairs I am glad you recognize the problem....
Hey Ray, just a suggestion but, personally myself I'd have thrown in a wheel chock as well, even on a flat surface, can't be too safe :)
@@leon419 Haha see Ray I told ya 🤣😂
It is nice to see a pro work the same way as us shade tree mechanics. Laying on our back in the dirt is a place we have all been. You are both informative and fun to watch, I have learned much.
I'm not a mechanic, but I love watching people who know their way around things.....your style, demeanor and professionalism makes me come back.
One quick tip on that style Ford there is a single wire connector right by the battery that does exactly what you did. All you have to do is touch to positive post. Easiest starter test that I have ever done on any vehicle. Kudos to Ford for that ingenuity anyway.
Ray, whenever I would fix something under a vehicle I always bring a large piece of rubber mat to lay on. Trust me, it beats laying on gravel or rocks. Great job on that truck. Well done...
Whenever a rich relative got a new appliance, we'd save the box to be used as a creeper for working under a vehicle in the dirt / mud / gravel.
Always great to see you work Ray! I was surprised you did not bring an "attitude adjustment tool" with you to rap on the starter in the beginning. Done off camera?
As someone that has removed a "Ferd" starter or 5 I can relate. The last time my son did it for me and replaced the brushes in the motor and it still cranks. A few "love taps" will getcha running in a pinch.
I noticed issues like you described when I was in my 20s. The problem has progressed over time and affects both shoulders, neck, throat, arms, and hands. The cause is several collapsed discs in my neck (no trauma or accidents to cause them). Any work I do at (or above) head level becomes extremely uncomfortable after a minute or two from the neck all the way to my hands. I have not yet had to change my line of work but this definitely has made the job a lot harder as the years have gone by. I have to slow down and very deliberately do my work so that I can continue to resist item gravity. I find myself working from the top down rather than the bottom up when possible.
How did my story get into your life?
I'm 66 years old. As I watch this my arms and shoulders and back and forearms are starting to ache. There's a piece of rust in my good eye and I have cramp in my leg.
Anyone relate?
@@porkstack I'm 62 have arthritis in both shoulders haven't had to put a starter in for 12 years I would last about 4 minutes before needing a break.
I like these longer videos. The way you test parts to make sure you have found a problem is very informative.
The dedication to get up in the middle of the night just to find out it was all for nothing! We really appreciate the effort you put in! It was fun to see that whole clip too.
It could have easily been summed up as "i thought i lost the rest of the footage, so i went to the shop at midnight to find that I had the footage the whole time", but we get to see the hard work you put in for ourselves.
The fact that you'd go to the shop at midnight on Saturday just to get a video out for us is pretty amazing, but between having two young kids, starting your own shop, and putting out a new full length video every day, eventually you're going to get burned out. Ain't gonna lie...I love having new daily vids to watch, but nobody's going to think less of you if you skip a day here and there or even went to an every other day schedule to make your life more manageable 🙂
Minor nerve damage in your fingers could do the same. I remember working a machine that required some extremely repetitive motions to replace huge grinding stones. I had a shake for about 3 months after trying to do similar tasks.
Your tenacity to ensure a quality video production is admirable.
Keep up the good work Ray!! 😎👍
@rainmanray That model of jump box is only supposed to beep constantly if it detects a reverse polarity condition (cables are connected backwards). It will also show the reverse polarity indicator on the screen which I do see on the video at 7:20. But you are clearly connecting the cables correctly if the colors of the clamps are correct, so that jump box may be defective.
I didn't know a 06 F-350 comes with keyless start from factory🤣🤣
I really enjoy ur videos being a motorcycle mechanic for 26 years very informative
I am a new subscriber
Great Job Ray. Really happy to see you with your own Shop. Things will just get bigger from here.👍❤️
Thank you, Ray. Haven’t missed even one of your vids yet. Appreciate the “behind the scenes” glimpse into your genuine effort to share with the world your incredible talent. So happy for you to be off on your own now. Stay true to yourself. And BRAVO to you!
RAY! I’m missing the Doodle dooodly doos 😢
It's nice to see a proper mechanic, great skill!
Ray, don't know if you read the comments. But I have learned so much from you on repairing cars. I own a 2001 Toyota Tacoma PreRunner with the 2.7l 4 cylinder. She's got 242.000 miles on it and still runs great. Have some minor things to replace, PVC valve and thermostat and just replaced the radiator. I love that truck.
Ray, since you asked - I call it the "s" terminal. We run a voltage drop test on the starter motors for new engine installations and measuring the drop in voltage from the key to the s terminal is one of the tests. We call the excited wire a wire that goes to the alternator that energizes the field so the "nator" can do it's nating
"s" for solenoid?
@@boggy7665 yes I think so. Even though we call it a mag switch. So "m" would make more sense. But birg warner calls a different terminal the m terminal. Alot of larger diesel engine starters have that terminal labeled as the s terminal though. Borg Warner, Delco Remy (though they are the same company now). I think prestolite. Look at a diagram for a Delco 50mt, it will have that labeled as the s terminal. I know that is way more information than you asked for... But hey it's the internet where everyone is an expert! Have a good day
It is SO much more fun watching you work than doing it myself! 😎
no joke.!!!!
Enjoyed it. Thanks
Great work. ☑💯
Thanks for sharing. 😉👌🏻
Love listening to you in the background and watching each repair, learn lots about how best to approach these problems and gives me the confidence to do more myself!
if there is one thing I have learned from Rays videos, is I need a cordless ratchet (good one). That looks like your most convenient, time saving tool upgrade (from traditional).
A few years ago I bought an Earthquake electric ratchet. I took it to work at the power station and shaved a ton of time off a valve repair thanks to the wrench. The boss was so impressed that he ordered Milwaukee electric wrenches for us. He liked my electric heated hoodie too, and bought them for us.
Same here been looking at the hercules one from HF. Would love to get the snap on one but kinda pricey for me
I have a basic one. Not sure it saves much if any time per boot, but it saves a lot of effort - and that saved effort means I can keep doing bolts without getting tired abs slow down.
Glad your working for yourself, doing good, I hope to get to your level some day, you gave me the motivation to start my youtube channel. thank you .
Thanks for thinking about us so much, running around when you should be chillin
Good Sunday morning it is very appreciated all the information that you provided for the people that are willing to do there own repairs they can definitely absorb all the good tips., And just want to add good luck on cleaning up your yard for the new fencing
Ray, I would invest in some moving blankets from HF. They are cheap and come in handy for occasions like this one, or for impromptu picnics, beach blankets, and a lot of other things including moving stuff...
Bringing back memories of a starter I replaced 6x . I'm gonna have nightmares tonight. Thanks!!!
Great to see you moving forward Ray.... keep up the good work
For your dedication to your craft and steadfast commitment to your subscribers I award you the coveted 👍 and a hearty "attaboy"!
466k subscribers - on to the next milestone. I think the variety of content in the workshop and back on your property makes for a more rounded picture of what you do. Sure its great seeing one engine bay after another - and believe you me I have seen lots, because I like them - but the new stuff is more attractive. Which is fortunate because you had little choice I guess. More power to you and the family.
I love the back office banter and behind the scenes trials of a youtuber. Thanks.
Hello and Good Morning to YOU Ray, err I mean Good Midnight lol. Lazy Sunday just me and my Chow Chow puppy enjoying another great Rainman Ray video. Got inspired to put Banks headers on my tj from your Project Jeep vids. Also it's nice to watch a TRUE pro going through the same travails (at midnight no less! Yeah, I've NEVER done that! lmao). Take care buddy...and thanks for an awesome channel! Click!
Been watching you for a while now.Wish the best for you and your family congratulations venturing out on your own!Your a true professional and awesome troubleshooter.
Thank you for your service, Ray. Thanks for the videos, too.
We would also like to thank you too Ray and have yourself a great day 👍
As a mechanic my self . Yes the shaky hands is what I got as well. It’s just from manipulating things to fit . It goes away after a while of not working on cars for awhile. Mine did when I started healing from a surgery that took me out of work
I do the same thing with my hands fidgeting to get a fastener to line up. Thanks for the videos, Ray.
Ray so many of your videos just serve to reinforce my feelings of joy about being retired and not having to do things like this anymore😄!!!
Yes I'm retired and I prefer to do stuff myself this way I know my car is fixed right have a good day
Other youtubers :never showing there mistakes
Ray : a whole middle of the night episode to look for a go pro and gets distracted 😂
This is why you get our support genuine guy keep up the work
Love your videos Ray keep up the great work
Every time I watch your videos it impresses me how thorough you are. Have you ever needed to use your video to show yeah I checked that? Seems like a great resource to back up your diagnosis.
"I love it when a plan comes together" seems to be a good description for many of those things you do, Ray. Good job, thanks for sharing & uploading.
Ray, Are they still makin' cheap aluminum wound starters ? Good copper wound starters are superior.
I’ve been fixing airplanes for a living for over 40 years. Glad to see “you can see it or touch it, but not both” isn’t just for Learjets. Love the vids…All the very best of luck with the new business!
Love watching you work & Talking to yourself. You’re your own commentator! Best professional diy mechanic! 😆
Hi Ray from the UK. Thanks for your videos you make. I'm currently off work due to mental health issues. I look forward every day to your all content keeps me going. Thanks Nige.
hope you get sorted Nige,all the best from a subscriber near heathrow,,👌👍
I retired now I'm 69 and I found out my mental health issues for the geniuses I was working with and not me have a great day
See phone misprinted I said from the geniuses I worked with have a great day
Initially, you called one of your tools a swivel. I was very concerned that you had forgotten to bring your “wobbly bits” from your previous job. But very relieved that you referred to that tool piece correctly subsequently. 😅
I feel ya Ray, I don't throw things either... I just cry, silently, on the inside.
Good Stuff,Great Tips😄👍🏿
Good Morning Ray! Glad you were wearing your “bear arms” when you went back to the shop to look for the GO Pro! Love your content! I would probably watch a video of you watching paint dry as long as you had your whitty banter! Keep up the amazing work! You and the Family Unit are Amazing! Here’s to success in your current and future endeavours! Cheers 🍻 ☕️
😂I call it my American Express 😂
(Don’t leave home without it)
15 years ago a friend started an ambulance service with a used fleet. Can’t tell you how many repairs I had to make from the gravel. We saved money and time by doing what needed to be done and in a few years had an inside shop which could hold 8 ambulances and two side bays for smaller vehicles. I was wrenching on a unit outside and the new guy asked why I did t bring it inside first. Old habits die hard.
There is only gravel here at the poor farm. A small section of concrete would be a luxury. Rolling a loaded transmission jack in gravel is great fun LOL.
This has my favorite squirrel moment so far!
"I must find this camera... I drove all the way in for this camera at midnight for 6 minutes of video! Oh! Look! I got a new box of whatever... let me show you right now!"
I love it, keep up the great videos!
You need to bring back the phone ringing, that's the only thing missing from your new shop! Great choice to go on your own. You are the best!!
Nice video, those little starter motors are lot easier compared to the old fashioned heavy ones. keep up the good work! you sure make me happy i don't work on cars anymore.
Unless I'm mistaken, the rate of growth of this channel versus time it has been running predict it could catch and exceed others like Car Wizard in short order. And rightfully so. It's simply excellent and better. Be careful what you work hard for sir, because you're going to have success far beyond what you ever likely imagined.
I like carcwizard when he does buy this not that or actually shows any work. The rest is kind of a waste of time, especially if that hoodie idiot is involved
Used to watch car wizard til i realized we never saw him working on cars, just talk about working on cars...
Same as others, car wizard has so few videos actually working on cars. He talks too much, yes we understand he is a knowledge filled person...its been established. But save that for friday night ask me anything live casts like richard holdener.
Ray makes good videos, has a wide variety of repairs, and he plays the youtube game very well. I can tell he closely follows his CZcams anylitics. Everything matters, titles of videos, thumbnails of videos, interaction with veiwers, and the time of day he posts the video. Also, probably the most important, he makes a lot of videos! I just looked, Ray has about 100 more videos than car wizard.
I'm glad you are staying busy with the new shop. The feeling of working for yourself must be amazing.
Great videos! You mentioned your hand shaking. My right hand shakes when I reach for something. The Dr calls it an "intention tremor".
Been like this for around 30 years. Not Parkinsons either.
working on that truck could be a health hazard hope you have all your shots Ray
No kidding.. hopefully he charged his fees up front.
Indeed, how hard is it to not drive around in a dumpster 😂
I hate to say it but life is a health hazard you walk through it and do the best you can have a good day
Except for all the fake ones
@@michaelpressman7203 very true!
Hi Ray .. Love the Vids .. Watching you fight with the Universal Joint and socket combination.. Have You tried or looked into "Wobble extension bars".They come in 1/4" 3/8" and Half inch bars . they allow the socket to Wobble but not as much free play as the Universal Joint gives... Hope this helps Andy UK ..
Another great video. Congratulations on the new shop, need to get a phone, missing your sound effects when the one at the Other place rang 😅
Excellent video. Rainman working in the wild. I learn so much from you. THANKS!
