@Average User Don't know if it's the case with Subaru, but some manufacturers spec RTV on oil/transmission pans.
Does the long extension affect the torque setting on the wrench?
@@jrrains no
@@David-eg4lv dislike works fine.
@Average User that's what Suburu calls for.
You did get me. I was like OMG!
Ohh yeah! Surprised to see another of my favorite tubers here! 😄
Pst.. I've been messing with 74 series logic chips, with LEDs on them... From the 80s.
I saw Clive and I was like OMG!
@@dizzy2020 truuuuuuuuth. ❤️. We love our Clive. :}
Clivey boy fancy seeing you on here 😂😂😂
I always hated working on collision-damaged cars. There is always the risk of significant STORED energy in places where you would not expect it. Disassembly of such a car for repairs can be very dangerous. A frame member doesn't have to be called a spring to ACT like a spring! Much respect to the good folks still in the trenches daily doing this work. Be careful under there, Ray.
I emphatically agree.
Potential energy has the potential to f you up.
@@Fixin-To potentially
Im a fairly new mechanic and I hope I don't seem dumb asking this but what can happen when you say a frame member can act like like spring?
@@tiles3458 Same mechanism that makes the hot/cold hail dent removal trick only work sometimes: any given bent part might only be in the shape it is due to other forces holding it there. If the force didn’t get past the plastic deformation limit and you relieve those forces by disconnecting the opposing piece, a whole tie rod or subframe component or whatever might let go and jump at you as abruptly as certain hail dents pop out with the canned air!
As a Subaru guy you never go with “someone that could do it cheaper” you go with some who does it right
VW same
As an owner of ANY car....same
@@whatjake7898 yeah but subarus shoot through engines in the hands of kids my age
I am SUBARU owner and love my car, but I am no fanboy of tuned cars.
Way too many Subaru fellows and fellettes think they are automotive engineers judging by the after market jungle they are throwing themselves into. 🤣
@@yunus_aros facts I consistently see people in groups running into trouble bc of bad tuning or supporting mods. I’m definitely not doing anymore than a catback until it’s not my only vehicle.
As a professional mechanic for the last 60 yrs I really enjoy guessing how you will attack any particular problem. You almost always seem to do what I would in the same situation. You are talented, level headed and professional. An asset to our profession. Who ever you work for is lucky to have you. I hope you get paid enough. It's easy to get burned out working at the level you are. Hang in there!!!!!
👍👍
Unfortunately since your comment he has been fired and they didn't know what they had.
I am a heavy truck mechanic at a fleet shop, so I work on stuff all day long. You would think that watching someone work on cars is the last thing that I’d want to do, but your vlogs are really good, and interesting. Congrats Ray, you got yourself another subscriber
same here. some people make me cringe lmao. at least *most* of the trucks are kept up to date lmao. these videos make me smile tho lol
How magnanimous of this god to grant you his subscription and praise. If only all of us could get this center of the universe to approve of us so highly...
No way, I'm not even a mechanic, just an enthusiast who slowly got into car repair videos, I find it very cool to watch, you don't get to see cars like mechanics do so it's very cool to me when I see what mechanics see when they are repairing
@@Naeromusic fair enough. nice to see how they solve problems and how they think. but also seeing some of these customers cars is funny too
@@razzle1245 exactly and then I also know as a customer what to do and what not to do 😂
As an ex Sti owner, I can confirm I can find someone cheaper…but I’ll be back to get it fixed with you properly 😂
as a former WRX owner I'm sure you can prob agree with me what really happen. POT HOLE? Nah this dude was flying and hit a bump or rail road track and prob came down hard bottom out his car and front suspension. LOL I miss my 2008 what was very slightly modded to be faster than most STI's, but it was time to get a big boy vehicle and driving standard was killing my back in big city traffic.
Yea like why lie? Everyone can guess that it wasn't a pothole
Thanks for this channel. Humorous and educational. I was in a dealership at a parts counter buying a part in the mid 1980s. Big noise in the shop. Crash!!! A mechanic threw a wrench across the shop into a wall. “I cant even see the f- ing spark plugs!! How do they expect me to change them!!”
That is like 90% of cars now especially if they are not 4 cylinders.
Its fascinating to me that people understand and know how to do this kinda stuff! TOTALLY ENJOYABLE to watch and best thing; you don't ramble! Can't wait to watch the next part. VERY AWESOME!
Absolutely obsessed with this channel. As a mechanic myself we are always learning, and you sir have taught me plenty.
yea, of what not to do.
And he knows his stuff. Soooo many people just RTV or Silicone stuff and send it. Lightly snug it and wait for it to skin over then send it.
what you learn is hopefully , ... not to do what he does !!!
@@cobra02411 No he doesn't, just watch the first 30 sec. Deserves to be sacked for that
@@Kalire21 Its a joke you half wit....... the pan is replaced in the video.
"Everything is in the way of everything."
Truer words have never been spoken.
They been taken notes from Nissan lol
Reminded me of Ian Gillan at a Deep Purple concert, "can I have everything louder than everything else".
Yeah, that's standard practice on Subarus. Thankfully I don't have to work on them very often.
The mantra of smirking engineers.........!
Subarus GBOD. Probably the same engineer who designed the mazda headlamp clips.
Love it. I think it’s fascinating how much you know and how confident and fast you work.
I'll bet making these videos makes the job go by faster. I love how you explain every step like you are thinking out loud. That is a skill. A lot of people would just ramble, but you do a great job!
Well, Ray, i can tell youve already made the customer upset with that new oil pan. Its not yellow and therefore wont go NEARLY as fast as it used to. Maybe you could paint on some flames to help with that.
It would prob start on fire.
There's been many times where I diagnose a car and tell the customer what's wrong with it and they take it somewhere else to get it fixed. This is why I never do diagnosis for free. If I'm going to diagnose it and you're going to take it you are going to pay for every minute that I spent on that car diagnosing it.
You gotta make your money!! Nothings free!!
@@davidhoulden5791 then don’t be an idiot and learn how to diagnose it yourself lmao it’s really not that hard, just takes a little brain power
@@davidhoulden5791 We are talking a proper diagnosis, not just an "It sounds like..."
@@davidhoulden5791 Why did you take it for diagnosis if you already knew what the problem was?
Fair enough! Time is money, after all ;)
I love the way you narrate the repair. Quite entertaining.
Watch ur show every day it's really great!Need more mechanics like u
You really had me on that drain plug! I was so pissed when you did that and felt really fool after hearing your gonna change the oilpan :D
@Joby Fluorine hahah I was confused on why he did 😂
On your intro, you should have used "RED THREAD LOCKER"...you could have scared
the entire world of mech-aniks with that one move!!! LOL!!!
The green "retaining compound" is even stronger!
I had to remove a clutch fan that was red locktighed on a few months ago. That was fun.
@@Android811 you beat me to it.
Then hit it with the mig.
@Eric C Yeah at first I was like wow thats a lot of loctite. Then he hit it with full send on the big Rigid impact...
Your videos are like your shop work -- always Top Notch! The very best! Thanks for another great video!
It's customers like this that I always kept a can of florescent paint in my supplies along with a box of zip-lock bags for excessive air fresheners. I would mark all damaged parts so when it returns I can point out they never replaced the damaged parts because they would always want me to align the car after they claimed to have replaced everything.
Rays using that new Milwaukee impact like Frank's hot sauce!
We want to use those new tools as often as possible to justify the money spent 😁
I put that sh!t on everything!!
Milwaukee impacts are the best. I love all 3 of mine. The largeboi with 1400ftlbs, the stubby, and the right angle
@@matth4069 I used Dewalt for 20 years and have had 2 Milwaukee driver and impact tools for 5 years they have already left Dewalt in the dust! Milwaukee batteries held a charge for 1 year hardly used Dewalts discharge as soon as they are removed from the charger
It’s almost as if he did Ford spark plugs recently. Who knows. 🤪
Barely screwed on AND the split pins missing, such a great combo. :)
Hey Ray it's good to see your subscriber base increasing. Love your videos keep doing what you're doing
You are the Dr House of auto mechanics! Love your videos!
Notice how Ray mentions the wobbly bit sometime before it makes an appearance?? Then he further mentions the wobbly bit thus building up the audience's anticipation of its appearance .. and then it arrives!!! Such skill, such masterful expertise of playing out the suspense ... oh I was really beside myself when it appeared ... surely Ray will be nominated for an Oscar 😁 Long live the wobbly bit !
I am so glad that my Ins. told the repair shop “No bandaid type repair. REPLACE WITH NEW TOYOTA PARTS”! Ins? USAA!
USAA from what I've heard and seen is amazing.
@@ganzonomy I agree USAA is a pleasure to deal with in a stressful situation! Seems like they want to go out of their way to help!
@@ganzonomy yeeeaaah.. USAA really isn't tho.
Man i been watching you ever since you was doing the customer states at 1k-3k subs and i have been addicted to the videos ever since you have grown so much
Yet another full time tech here to say I love your channel. I respect your positive demeaner and calm/collected mindset; as well as your level of professionalism with your repairs.. Keep up the good work man!
Not one to attempt the things you do. I just enjoy listening & watching you. You & your pry bar make things looks so easy. Keep these videos coming. TY.
"what is that?" He questions. I answer with "broken. That's what it is." 🤣
Like what’s with the yellow oil pan that’s so stupid
@@ryans413
Not the case for this vehicle, but I know lots of farmers who paint underside components obnoxious colors. It makes it easier to see what's damaged when you're stuck miles from anywhere on a moonless night.
Opening statement was GOLD.
Nicely done Ray.
Your videos are the only long videos I watch. Anyone else's I just don't. Thank you for keeping them entertaining.
The opening joke about loc tite and the impact on the drain plug reminded me of this from about 25 years ago. My sister asked me to change the oil on her friends car. No problem, even with picking up and dropping off the car it should take under an hour. Get car up on ramps and try and remove drain plug and discover previous oil changer had damaged the threads and used some sort of epoxy to reinstall the plug. Wound up cracking the oil pan before plug came out and it's the only time in my life a welder was a required tool for an oil change.
That is what happens when you get mates to fix your car.
Oh man, you really had me going there... When you applied your impact wrench, set to #3 position and cranked the crap out of that oil pan bolt, I nearly pooped my pants. LOL. Thanks for the afternoon adrenaline rush.
and a large amount of loctite... ! Almost got me too, I was thinking ok that's going to screw that 10 minute lube shop over. haha
i didn't even see that part, but i certainly saw the threads disintegrating and a second away from the bolt free spinning in the hole. Blue loctite was bad enough haha
why you need to use that impact wrench so often ? :D then I wonder why it's so bad in car garages :/

Yeah that was easily fake. I didn't watch the rest of the click at video. Ray is okay at best.
You didn’t get me with the sump bolt 😆 …. You did get me with that ball joint nut tho…😱
Good job on gettin that crossmember out and back in, on own, also the oil Pan too, Have a Great day
I am what u would call a driveway mechanic. Been doing that since 20. Im 47 now and this guy has taught me so much. Love this channel. Awesome content. Intro was crazy. Well Dunn young man…👍👍👍
I was like there's no way Ray is that type of guy, seeing all the good deeds you do. I'm operating with that same mentality at my garage I'm just opening. I already won one customer over, for telling them to trade while they can. Before the snowball effect started getting even worse then it already was
❤️ Ray. The most honest mechanic I’ve seen since Derek from VGG.
Good job of editing. Much appreciated
if you have watched ANY of Rays videos you know he is above reproach!!!!! i love it when he mentions the KARENS or KENS in the comments with their snarky comments. LMAO!!! I appreciate his very high level troubleshooting patterns and skills. Our brother Ray, Thanks so much for your channel!!! I can only speak for myself i love it and Thanks so much!! much love to you and your family!!
My Monday just got 10 times better ! Love watching your videos
Absolutely crazy how fast your channel is growing. Good Job!
It's amazing to watch you work on cars in Florida no rust! Here in Minnesota that's a regular part of automotive repair.
Perfectly edited clip. Love the videos.
Hey Ray ! Just wanted to say your my favorite CZcamsr :) Feel smarter everyday watching your videos . I live in a condo and don't have a space to work on my vehicle as often as I please so I'm living vicariously through you !
One of the best opens yet!
Thanks Ray,learning every video what i watch,59 years old now, still want To learn.
You have the most enjoyable videos. I am addicted.
Your expertise and commentary is a winning combination. I really enjoy the content. Thank you for uploading!
I found this channel about a week ago. I really no longer have an interest in repairing my own (or any) vehicles, but I keep watching just waiting for the shop phone (and your reaction) to ring.
Hands up everyone who 'DO-DE-DO's along with Ray!
Subscribed and liked. Takes a lot of dedication and effort to do this kind of work, film it, narrate it, and edit it!! Especially on somebody's POS Subaru!
Nice work Ray As always brother @Rainman Ray's Repairs
Nice job! As always. Can't wait for the second part! Btw..... i enjoy the clicks!
“So this is either gonna work or it’s not” truer words have never been said. Keep up the great work
“Logic”
This was my most often used phrase when i did building repairs and locksmith work.
I love the sarcasm. Keep up that great job
Wow I don't see how you remember all that stuff. I'm impressed !
Lol more like they fell into a hole !
I can't believe people risk their lives and those of others with lack luster maintenance of their vehicles!
I mean undoing castle nuts with your hands and no split pins in them??
Thank god we have knowledgeable mechanics that give a hoot !!
Cheers from Sydney Australia as always.
🇭🇲👍🦘🐨🐨🦘👍🇭🇲🇺🇸
You got us on that one Ray
You have so many tools I've never seen before! Crazy
"this thing was like a rolling-DO DOO DO DO!" 😂Love your content man! As a new lube tech who is aspiring to become a master technician, love watching you work! Keep it up!
Damn, that impact ratchet you bought is really sweet...I think we'll be seeing a lot of it in future videos!
A pot hole? Seems to be a classic going too fast for tire energy levels and running into objects!! WRX is code for I Drive Recklessly!!
WRecks
Looks more like a hit and run
I think he meant smoked pot and fell into a hole :D
As a wrx owner I can confirm 😂
In all the wrx groups I'm in I see a whole lot of Ricky Bobby's
I owned a WRX and upgraded all the suspension first and it handled amazing but most of the owners drive beyond there ability
I view this to learn...not jus on this particular car...but to learn alota things my pops was unable to teach me...and on another note...im not bashing any content by far...but way better than a chris fix video...i appreciate the explanation u do and the advice as a mechanic explaining it to sumone...not sumone who over hypes things...ive viewed so many chris fix videos after being pissed off at my cars...and listening to a chris fix video is like listening to the automated assistant trying to get ur wifi to work so u can get a job...lmao...great work demonstration and execution...thank u for doing wat ur doing...it teaches people ambitous to learn in to a great experience...
Love your right-angle ratchet.. I now own two for my home shop...
Ray - just saw you crested 100k by a landslide overnight!!! Congrats Man!!! click
"Everything is in the way of everything" straight up car mechanic truth.
Love the humor and the comments.
Don't know why but I can't help but watch these vlogs. Also I run the exact same Rigid impacts you do. LOVE that brand. Best money I ever spent.
Tech tip (I’ve done several of these): I have three 3 inch threaded studs I screw into the block; raising the pan up on them aligns the dipstick w/o getting goo everywhere
😉
Tech tip dont use stupid silicon and make a real gasket from a sheet of gasket material. Hate silicone and everything about it. Brings tears to my eyes everytime i gotta clean that shiznit off
@@captainmorgan6035 Here in UK most modern engines don't use sump (Oil Pan) gaskets anymore. Should be using correct sealant which sets like rubber, not silicon which is crap and has a tendency to peel off 👍👍
@@SalvageMasterEssex Yeah most manufacturers use sealant not silicone sorry I may have use the wrong word. The gasket maker stuff anyway, me personally I just rather use a gasket on my own stuff. Just easier to remove and don’t have to spend hours scraping crap off. I know in the end the reason they’re using the sealant stuff instead of real gaskets now it’s because it’s cheaper just like everything in life it’s all about the money and saving it.
Making good use of the new right angle impact driver I see… made that comment before I even got to the part where you talked about it.
He better for as much as it cost him.
You do very well in the collision work restore!
I like it when you speed things up rather than skip the process.
Lube Tech/"New Guy" here. found your channel randomly while scrolling through "customer states" videos and now I'm here watching you every day after work. I've learned so much from watching your videos and I just wanted to say I love the content and I'm excited to see where this journey takes me!
8:18 Everything is in the way of everything. Story of my life.
You got me, my jaw actually dropped 😳. I did not even know who's channel i was watching until you started showing the front end damage. I would definitely not say it was click bait. Love your content, we'll keep breaking them if you keep fixing them 😆.
I have been watching these videos regularly for a few weeks now...I don't think I have seen a single thumbs down yet, but each video has thousands of thumbs up. That should tell you something about these videos. Nice job!
I just kept laughing when you impacted the oil pan drain plug.......I couldn't believe you would have done that for real....that was a good one !
I spent 6 years working as an aircraft mechanic, with 95% of my work being on piston powered airplanes, with engines ranging from a Rotax 912, 2.0L turbo-diesel, 240 cu. in. flat four, all the way to 540 cu. in. turbo-ed six bangers. Occasional PT-6 turbine thrown in there. One thing about doing that, is if you don't do your job right you will kill people as there is no pulling over if shit really hits the fan, but on the other hand, you never (99.99%) had to worry about any jerry-rigging bullshit or iffy customer supplied parts.
They still make PT6's 😯
I guess they still are, though my grease monkeying days ended 11 years ago.
Nice work!
You are a
True Professional
I like Your Spirit.
You should have
Your Own Shop.
Honest Technician
Have Plenty of Work
May God Bless You!
Wish I could find mechanics like this for my shop. It's a scarcity nowadays
Really, to find someone that works is scarce, its a sad world we live in isnt it.
Where is your shop?
Lol it's easy. I'd do this all day long.
Except you pay everyone like a kid starting at McDonald's... crap they probably make more to pick their nose on burgers and wank off in the back.
You want good workers, pony up. Of flag time plus commission sounds good unless you second guess every freaking diagnosis and let your service writers run roughshod over the mechanics.
So yeah, Mr. Cooper, you're like the hundreds of thousands of other crap shops that don't back the mechanics and are all about the unethical "sales."
the opening scene is hilarious :)
I was even going to write a nasty comment :)
It's worth watching whole episodes - especially the ones made by you :)
Keep up the good work
OH MY !!! That intro was amazing!
Finally see you working on a car I can relate to.
Ray: So, what's wrong with the car?
Customer states: I just hit a pothole.
Ray:(after inspecting underneath the vehicle with a sh*t ton of damage) Just cut the bullsh*t and tell me exactly what you hit.🤣
It was a big pothole!
well see it's kinda like this, it was raining (any other night), I just squeezed through the orange light at (insert intersection), hit a bump then hydroplaned?
They hit a pothole, FIRST. Then, they proceeded to hit a curb, another car, and, a telephone pole...
Probably just another boy racer with no regard for other people on the road. I wish all of them the same fate.
It was dark and very late, I had been working out of town when pulling into a truck stop gas station,I didn’t see the sidewalk protruding out of the drive-thru lane.. ran right over it.. really did this this week..
That right angle Milwaukee impact is proving extremely useful and powerful - I'm surprised that wasn't totaled but it wasn't - quite a bit of work to do on that vehicle - enjoy watching
Looks like it should have been, it’s not over yet…
In the running for the Ray's Quote of the Year , " basically everything is in the way of .........everything."
I found this channel while I was at the local big L tire shop getting an i spection, oil change, wipers. Now I watch in between lyft/uber rides.
Hey Rainman 👍 I'm a retired helicopter pilot, and would just like to mention how awesome mechanics are with their $$$ professional tools that probably cost oh ?? 25 or 30 thousand dollars $$$.!!!
Have a great week 👍🇺🇸🇺🇸
I've been around enough Subi's to tell this wasn't "a pothole" lol
Boy I was kinda shocked you'd do the threadlock/impact deal!! LOL got me good!
Thank you for making these videos for us. I only wanted to comment on the filming. In this video you went off cam to clean the pan and install the orings. Then you put sealer on the pan and did that in high speed. Thank you brother.
Here in Australia, that would most likely be written off. Keep the great videos coming Ray, as always enjoyable to watch.
Aussie here too Terry. I would love to see Ray open a branch here. But how can he staff it. so i guess we have to settle for watching his channel.
I’ve found out over time, it’s best to let the tech that identified and found the problem to correct it. The customer may find someone “ cheaper” but that’s exactly what they’ll get is “ cheaper” results/ quality..
Yeah Ray you got this, near doubled in subs since I found you a week ago GG
7K new subs in the last 13 hours
@@ngnmech I love the way this guy makes it look so easy to be an honest repair man =)
We need more Ray's in this world! Can you imagine what that would be like? I hope I get to move to Florida soon!
The Humor is good! makes the repair go faster
I think the problem with this car is a loose nut behind the wheel. It goes right along with the finger-tight suspension work. 🤪 (You share the road with these people!)
Good morning Ray, whenever I do a job for a client and they tell me my bid is too high I🤔 tell them fine "give it to🤷 somebody else" BROTHER 😉👍
Best laugh I had all day watching you impact that drain plug in.
