@@justinferguson5451 LOL I bought a mirror at auction for my entry hall two months ago and it sitting on the floor because it is so heavy it needs two studs for the mounting and I can't find my stud finder. I do not know WTF I did with it. I guess eventually I will get sick of seeing my shoes reflected in it and either start poking holes in the wall or I will go to Home Depot and buy a new stud finder. The problem is there is road construction (for 6 years now) all the way to Home Depot on Hwy 19, and they have doubled the price of everything in there since 2020, and I know I will find the old stud finder the very moment I pull into my garage when I get home, it be sitting on a shelf staring me in the face. As far as I know Ray has no ad lib for that sort of thing, probably edits those out because they are a blue stream of un-Raylike language.

We had a brand new (less than 2k miles) come into our body shop after taking a major collision to the right rear. It got a new roof, headliner, back door, trunk, rear subframe and suspension, trunk floor…they basically made it a convertible and then sawzalled 1/3 of the car off. It was an Si or some expensive trim of civic. It didn’t meet the 70% rule to total it, so it was repaired. I think the damages were over $25k. Once our shop got it all put back together, it looked like a brand new one. The owner promptly traded it in on another car, but unless you studied it, you’d never know it was hit. I even drove it across town to put gas in it and it rode and drove like it came off the showroom. I’ve seen some seriously f’ed up vehicles that I’d never believe could be fixed drive out of our shop like nothing ever happened. We had a brand new pathfinder that had been sideswiped and then hit a tree. Damages were over $25k, but wasn’t totaled. Other than the airbag smell, you would have thought it was brand new when they got done with it. Some of those guys are extremely talented at what they do.

One of my co-workers did one of these cars with the older CVT transmission. The way he did it was to drop the subframe first (struts and knuckles stay with the car), pull the cat and PTU out, then install a support fixture on the engine, remove the trans mount, lower the support fixture, and remove the trans. The way you did it kind of a disaster waiting to happen without the dealer support fixture because the subframe doesn't surround the power train assembly.

This does seem like a rather convoluted way that Ray is doing this, but it seems like he mentioned that this was the procedure that the service data stated. It probably pays 12+ hours by the book.

@cup_and_cone Жыл бұрын

I was freaking when all the new pickups needed the bodies removed to replace brand new engines in brand new trucks at the turn of the century. So, I went to see RV's that had the whole harness being replaced. I felt dizzy, just looking. But we somehow just kept going item by item methodically and they drove out of there. That's what it takes. Fearless patience and tenacity. Nice work. Hope they pay your costs and labor. I found people who want things fixed, then try to help, and interrupt, and don't want to be responsible for the cost. I tell them buy an extended policy sponsored by the manufacturer, If coverage is going to run out.

He would stay a few weeks in California or Florida or wherever they sent him and repair RV’s. He said repairing electrical problems were the worst because most of them were custom harnesses with miles of wires and no schematics. He knew the basic layout for the standard stuff, but any custom designs had to be figured out on the fly. The company paid him an absolute fortune to work on them. He was a single guy and within just a few years, he paid cash for a really nice house. I haven’t talked to him in years, but he said he’d be able to retire by the time he was 45.

I've pulled many an engine and transmissions. Since I'm so old, most were 60s and 70s cars/Trucks . Mostly used a John deere tractor and a load leveler engine puller. Later years just an engine stand with load leveler though it was 10x easier with the tractor. I also fixed any other problems since everything was so accessible and a couple times I was doing a full rebuild. Since I was helping a friend or doing my own and not doing it for a job I found it to be a lot of fun, probably the best was rebuilding a 7.5L 460 ( it was a 468 when I finished ) in my F250 which also got a Carolina clutch, 1 more pound over stock at the pedal and It would pull anything, tree out of the ground, car out of the ditch, where the stock clutch would just slip. I don't know if I could deal with pulling the subframe and dropping the engine/transaxle/transmission. All those bolts! Nice job Ray!

How about a monthly brake clean video? You made one a while back, but I'd be interested in MOAR.

Brake clean video? As in just cleaning the brakes?

I know exactly how you felt after the sub frame came off the jack stands. It is a learning experience :)

Something caught my attention near the end of the video. I saw the power steering line looked like it was 90 coming off the steering rack. I looked back in time and saw that the power steering line was hooked on the serpentine belt and when Ray pulled the engine forward that's what made the subframe fall off of the stands.

I'd be fascinated to see my car completely disassembled into thousands of pieces so I could look over everything, then put back together again. I wouldn't want to be the one to do that disassembly and reassembly, but seeing it happen would be very interesting.

As a home mechanic now, after leaving the industry, I would have tried to remove as little as possible to get the transmission out. Having to drop and remove everything would be impossible at home without a hoist and all the right tools.

Hi Ray I worked for a small local bus company and the mechanics dropped a new Leyland Atlantean engine they were rather a lot of blue language around it cracked part of the thermostat housing they did repair it using some sort of filler. Not the only excitement I had there the fitter also forgot to tighten up the wheel nuts which I found out to my detriment when I turned a corner and the bus sat down at the back end. My last day at the firm too I went through five of their buses that day!

Having done this more than once, I do agree that it changes your perceptions. BUT, it sure makes it easier to rebuild that engine or transmission. Never mind why, grin - 'twas way too many years back and I'm glad to watch you do the heavy work this year. You do it so well, after all.

My two favorite KZfaqrs in one video. Ray and Tom Macdonald playing on the Radio! Great work Ray, makes me miss my days of being an RV tech, but at the same time glad I moved on from them as they are just rolling houses that are never maintained the way they should be by the majority. Happy Easter to you and yours!
