Today we have a Jeep Wrangler Sahara with the 3.6 Pentastar engine. The customer states engine oil is leaking and it is a large leak. Be placed the jeep in service mode and began the inspection. It was found that engine oil was leaking off of the valve covers, after lifting the jeep, we found more oil on the back side of the engine and on the transmission. The intake manifold was removed and then the lower intake manifold was removed. Engine oil was found pooling up in the valley between the cylinder heads. The oil cooler assembly was then removed and inspected for leak sources. The o rings were found to be deformed and leaking engine oil.

Dealer would have replaced the compressor.
Or just wiped the dirt of of the old one and say they replaced it.
....and charge the owner $2000
@@mrmustangmanHe deserves it.
And tires too !
This week on “Just Rolled In” 😂
No sprayfoam this week :D
😂
The reason that happens when you put too many napkins in the glove box and you open the door the suction of the blower motor sucking air through will actually suck the napkins right out of the glove box so it's kind of a bit of a design flaw
Design flaw on a jeep? Never!
It's a jeep thing
Jeeps don't have design flaws.
It's not a bug, it's a feature!
should only keep gloves in a glove box, not napkins
The fan motors keeping the glove compartment clean . By sucking those napkins out.
Have a Grand Cherokee with dual zone. Passenger side won't blow heat. I'm coming after those napkins
Unlimited what? Unlimited napkins is a Jeep things?
Unlimited napkins
Unlimited napkins, apparently.
Cheaper than ducks
Unlimited ducks on dash.
Unlimited means it is a 4 door Wrangler.
"Always fix FIRST what you KNOW is bad". Bet the service manual troubleshooting chart doesn't reference napkin interference.
I can just see the conversation...He: "I could've sworn we had some napkins in the glove box. How are we going through them so much?" She: "Don't blame me!"
The customer may have been wondering if the spouse or kids were removing all the napkins they left in the glove box. Bad design when the glove box closes exposes the contents to the recir door.
Owner must have been trying to relive the 80’s and had the non-OEM McDLT aftermarket kit added. For those that remember the “keep the hot side hot and the cool side cool” from McDonalds.
*Ray:* I'm gonna check the half-moon recirculation door, and see if it's working, or see if it's broken.
*Ray Finds Napkins Blocking Recirculation Vent*
*Eric O., SMA:* Well, there's your problem, lady!
Bet owner wondered why he was always out of napkins
Ending transmission had to be explained... unbelievable.
Yes, unfortunately now nuances of the English language must be explained to all in order to include the hard of thinking 🤣
Cabin air filtration provided by, Burger King, McDonalds, Wendy's, Dairy Queen, Taco Time and more. Customer solution to avoid the cost of filter elements? Perfect! LOL 😳
This needs to go on JUST ROLLED IN
or customer states 😁😆😅🤣😂
Hot on left, cold on right?
As an amateur plumber that sounds ok. 👌
👍
Had to think about that... good one
Hilarious, must have been a small fortune of paper towels in there, and would be fun to see the owners reaction 😅
Could be irate because they were discarded... his property.
@@defresurrection Bundle them up and secure with cable ties.
@billmilosz that would work, or just a few. I seriously don't know why he cleaned out the car... I would have left them on the floorboard and advised the owner.
@@defresurrection yeah, never know there could be something scribbled on one, or that ziploc might have something in it they thought they lost or whatever. But off camera they might have been put in box or bag and left back in jeep
While I’m sure the owners are not rodents. The effect is the same!
This isn't about the video but I just want to say your "channel" is THE best one of all the auto repair ones. I get the DT's when you don't put one up!! Keep these coming.
People like these are keeping you in business. I drove nearly 50 years, never had to take the car to a mechanic (ok, some oil change when I didn’t myself). Good for you!
Ray, after watching one of your videos a long time ago I decided to buy a good scan tool, an oscilloscope, and eventually a crap ton of various others tools and equipment and learn to correctly diagnose. I had already been doing my own repairs and helping others for nearly 5 decades but just haven't worked as a mechanic since I was 17 years old. There is great sense of satisfaction that comes from being able to tell someone what is ACTUALLY wrong with their vehicle - especially after they've previously taken it to several other people/shops for diagnostics. I do all of that for free... just kidding! I do it very reasonably and always try to help and be extremely reasonable for those who truly can't afford healthcare for their vehicles such as single moms.
Thanks Ray!
"We now return control of your television set to you, until next week at this same time, when the Control Voice will take you to... The Outer Limits"....I mean Rainman Repairs....😆
Ray, this is one of the funniest things I've seen in awhile. My wife unit is always collecting napkins to keep in her glove compartment, and while she hasn't had this problem, I just had to show it to her.
End of transmission.
I think that's the first time Ray is speechless when he saw the napkins I love the pause and the double take
Would love to see clients reaction to the napkins when you had told them
The owner was confused. Instead of stocking up on TP for Covid, they went crazy over napkins
This happened to my 2008 Ram 1500 - hot driver's side and cold passenger side. Both my mechanic and myself believed it be the blend door. I mean, the blend door is a known issue with these Dodge trucks. Well, come to find out, and after $800 of pulling the dash, the compressor was on its last leg. Replaced compressor and a/c works great.
The one side and the other cooling was intermittent. I will not be surprised if that Jeep comes back for a/c work.
The "unlimited" just means 4 door.
The cabin air filter only came on some models from the factory, the ones with the auto climate control, you can indeed add them to the 2012-2018 . It takes the Fram CF11777 ita actually 2 separate filters.
That prompted a Jamie Hyneman "well there's your problem" moment. Good find.
Cabin filters are only factory installed on auto climate systems, though can be added by those of us without same. Blend door issues are well known.
Your closing comment, "End Of Transmission" has always been clear to me what it was...never thought it was referring to a vehicle transmission. Maybe just the way mind processes it. No need to change on my account. Thanks for another great video. Loved the napkin collection! LOL
yeah, I pity the foo' that was confused by that
@@jayc4283 I got a chuckle reading your statement when my brain pictured Mr. "T" saying "pity the fool" - - and yes, I agree with you
Ray, you inadvertently removed the water intrusion prevention kit option. Now water can come in thru the fresh air vent!
When the owner is also the squirrel 🤣
Mechanic States: "There's your problem......."
Wow. Crazy, great video.👍👍👍 JEEP,,,,NO MORE NAPKINS FOR YOU!!! 😎
Finding all of those napkins is similar to finding the air cleaner packed with acorns. Both are blocking air flow.
2007 Toyota - Pecan bits, paper, etc. We were barely getting any air through the filter! Still wonder how the critter got in there.
My 2015 Jeep also eats things from that compartment I have found mail and other items inside that fall out of that compartment
Shame you need to explain "end of transmission "
Give your customer a waste paper basket for the tissue problem, as always a great video.😊
I keep extra napkins in my center console storage. But I don't have that many extra.
OMG - I laughed for 5 minutes after seeing all of those napkins. My wife is always putting extra napkins in all of our cars "just in case". I actually went to the garage and checked our cars, while discarding a pile of them. This video was great.
Happiest of Saturdays Ray. This job must have blown😁
They probably kept putting more because they kept disappearing 😂😂
🤣My then 3-year-old daughter used to put all my change down the vents of my Cherokee. She was being helpful...
Back in the day, when computers were very expensive, my 5 year old put change into the floppy drives on our computer. Myself as a toddler back in early 60's used to put change into the air return vent of our house heater. I used to love hearing the tick, tank, clonk of it bouncing around the ductwork. Then my dad found out.........
A guy I worked with had twins that loved putting Peanut Butter & Jelly sandwiches in the VCR. I wonder how many VCR's Mark went through before his kids were cured of that habit.
@MrTherende when I was younger we moved the vcr up high because of my little sister. We didn't wait for the very problems lol
@@scannerlanier471 My autistik son put chips from a 4 in a row game into my laptops cd drive... Wondered what the ratling was about. Lukely i could fix it myself. A week later my vcr woudent accept vcr cassettes.... the list goes on. Love that kid. Sorry for the spelling
This is a very common problem.
Had one kid who put his change in his ashtray never took it out just kept adding. We had installed a alpine cd player under the dash, it was one of the older cars with a small square radio you could not change, guy comes in after about 2 years his cd player stopped working and his dash rattled everytime he hit a bump.
I pulled the cd player 87 cents in change came out it shorted and blew a car fuse, but i also pulled 67.57 cents worth of change from behind the dash i had a big hump on the passengers floor board of pennies nickels dimes and quarters. All his problem was take out related. But he never took it out.
If you stuff your glovebox with napkins the cars not going to eat them and no putting change in the ash try won't give you more gas milage funny when cd players came out small children decided they were piggy banks ive pulled plenty of change out of them.
Got a 20 dollar bill once. Nope they don't give quarters as change.
Thats not the biggest find i had in a car one car had a 400 dollar wad of cash, i gave it back to the owner.
Apparently one of his passengers in the back seat lost it.
On the transmission thing: Are people really that thick?
Yeah... wonder what they think about popping zee hood??
Really I think comment to make comment thing.
those were the filter !!!! air from the cabin was filtered through napkins brilliant and cheap :-)
Man that jeep has super accesible climate systems access.
Getting to some of those mechanisms in other vehicles is a disassembky nightmare.
I understand, “End of transmission”. It used to be a way for Radio Transmissions to end a conversation.
My '16 Rubicon has two filters in back of the glove compartment. They are the cabin air filters. The glove compartment is aggravatingly undersized. You can't fit the manual in without flexing it.
Its a jeep thing as only half of them have a cabin air filter and half just don't get the cabin filter installed
LOL! Had the same problem with my friend's Jeep,...he was VERY happy that it didn't cost him anything !
You should have put all those napkins in a bag and put them on the passenger’s seat with a little note.
Charge him $40. Fer being stupid.
Ray, the napkins and paper towels are the cabin air filter!🤣
Missed the MANDATORY Wife Unit Appearance...LOL
Again!
Buried in the napkins😊
Good deduction and good find.
We used to get state inspectors for our inspection where they stuffed the air cleaner full of shop towels on almost new cars and acted like they were in a hurry to get a pass and their sticker, foregoing the complete time and procedures to "get to an appointment".
The boss would offer to drive them there while the car was completed correctly.
The tech could have lost his license and been fined if we gave in.
Good thing he busted them at it.
The govt. should actually try lots of shops without trying to trick a man out of his career. They might find the places who fudge it.
Clean air was critical in that region of the mid west.
In this car, somebodys saving the napkins and putting them in and shutting the glovebox during trips thru the drivethru.
Have a great weekend Ray and everyone!!!!
Like someone else said, it'd be interesting to know how the owner reacted to the discovery and solution... lol
On another note - I really like the shade of blue on his vehicle!
4:40...And I thought it were a file cabinet !!...guess I were roight !!😂😃...5:43...Wow !! what a cool place for a safety- deposit box ; I'm impressed !!!
My wife is a "paper towel collector." Whenever we eat at a takeout, she takes the left-over paper towels and stuffs them in the glove box. I periodically go in and remove a large number of towels. I will keep this in mind if we have a problem with the AC flow in our Jeep.
Sometimes it’s the simplist things. Great job Ray👍🏼✌️🇺🇸
Yeah, I'll take and easy fix every time. I keep paper towels in the car too. Handy things to have.
Time to throw in the towel I guess!
Ray are you going to charge him for wasting your time 😅save the napkins for the next covin scare 😅😅Saw dave cruise by, BUT NO Wife Unit mandatory show up😅😅. END OF TRANS MISSION ,LIKE THE OLD T.V SYFI OUTER LIMETS 😅 YA IM OLD😅😅
222nd! Hope you’re having a great Saturday Ray, and the wife unit. And of course that also goes for the new employees! Had a crazy dream last night. It was a barn, and a SCREAMING YELLOW GIRAFFE FETUS. I wonder what that meant? Roger in Pierre South Dakota
Unwavering dedication and humility make you a standout. Congrats!
[sarcasm] Customer states: MY NAPKINS! I WROTE MY NOVEL AND POEMS ON ALL THOSE! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH THEM?! [/sarcasm]
hehe. Hehehe.
Me as a young military mechanic working on a Chevy K20 Blazer that won't start. Breaking out test light and meters. My subordinate 2 ranks below me: "Did you check the tech manual?" ME: I don't need that, been working on these for years" 2 days later, checking manual. Step 1. Check engine start fuse. .... .... .... Simple thing starting me in the face for 2 days of wasted troubleshooting of switches, wiring, thermal fuse, relays, fuel system, starter..... Meh.
I wonder what fast-food restaurant those napkins came from; could they be charged with a crime? Maybe OBSTRUCTION OF JUST-ICE?
Great find. Customer probably still hoarding toilet paper from the COVID days.
Enjoy your videos. Thank You for sharing.
Nice Facepalm video.
There is a cabin air filter that comes in two parts. It installs behind the screen and napkins under the air recirculation vent door. For some reason, Chrysler only installs the filters in about 10% of new Wrangler vehicles .
Funny, I had the exact same napkin issue with my Wife’s 2012 Wrangler Sport Unlimited.
Currently, I’m getting ready to install a repaired actuator for that recirc vent door to eliminate a disturbing knocking noise emanating from behind the glove box door. A real PITA job due to access difficulties.
I’ve had to deal with every “known “ issue with Wranglers,including the mystery 302 misfire code for cylinder 2 that is part of a recall the dealerships don’t seem to know anything about.
Yet another brainiac engineering job by that horrible company! I THOUGHT- about looking at RAM… I find it difficult to justify supporting a conglomerate that never actually repairs or acknowledges their flaws and faults but rather sweeps em under the rug and creates new problems! I know, all manufacturers have their issues but these guys seem to do everything in their power to avoid issues. Just my personal opinion.
Ray, I love your videos. Heck, you’re the reason why I paid for an annual sub for YT premium.
So with that said, I don’t enjoy these super short videos. I enjoy the 30-60min long videos.
Man, they eat a lot of fast food.
Watched this video yesterday, got inspired, and took my 2014 Wrangler glove box out. Found envelope with registration & proof of insurance, which I had presumed were gone forever. BTW, if it was a base model, the cabin air filters were optional.
he REALLY likes napkins... 😏🤣
Might a be interesting story why so many napkins behind glove box, no wonder McDonalds is charging $10.00 for a hambanger.......... I wish for once when you say "end of transmission" it would really be the freeken end of transmission instead just slapping the camera then come back on and ramble on for another 5 minutes!!!!!!
End of transmission Love it ,,Mind you where was you today Ray when I was swapping out my auto box on my discovery3 ? LOL I knew you wasn't going to fly to Devon England to help me but swapped out a gearbox in 8 hours on a 4x4 and now after a shower can still smell trans fluid !! Love your Vids xx
16#'s of napkins over flowing the worlds tiniest glove box that is only designed for 3#'s. It's a Jeep thing. Can't charge for shop supplies on this repair.
Just a disposal fee
@@ricka5471If Ray used them to soak up the water underneath, yes.
Does the customer receive a shop supply credit?
Chevy dealer recently charged me a $10 for shop supplies on a $1250 repair that didn't work.
(had the truck towed back to the dealer last night)
Always put your napkins in the center console.
I guess a Minimum service chg. would be expected. When Vehicles were less complicated, I use to tell people all the time how to fix their problems--I was just a Backyard Mechanic but was Raised around Used cars as my best friends dad had a used car lot and we were always replacing clutches, water pumps, alternators and problems like these...
Unbelievable fix. Who would of thought something like that in today's vehicles! Hope that teaches all of us a lesson in hoarding! Thanks Ray!
You bought the automatic glovebox cleaning option. Now you want the vents to work too? You can't have both. It's either options package 12A or 32B.
Ray, I have been following you for about a year. Very interesting videos. Keep them coming. From Nova Scotia Canada.
Am I the only one suspicious over the amount of found napkins? I can see suction pulling few napkins, but wouldn't that suction effect lessen once the first 10 napkins covered up the intake? What am I missing? That was a shitload of napkins that looked strategically placed.
That is on freaking believable, people can be so stupid, like keep shoving, keep shoving, keep shoving, napkins, and where do you think they’re all going. Geez, I don’t know maybe into the napkin dispenser😂
Unlimited oil leaks maybe, unlimited things breaking, definitely. Jeeps have not been jeeps since before AMC bought them.
Be careful, you may be charged with grand theft paper towel. I'm sure at current prices there is at least $1000 worth. That was crazy!!!!
WOW! Those cheep/free napkins sure did cause an expensive evaluation. Hope you charged him for a full book time.
The napkins, were sucked out
Unhappy.
Everyone who has bought a used one, look after, maybe you find nice things as money :D
The joys of a crappily designed glovebox which has no liner (all to save FCA a couple of $...).
On that model the filter looks like paper napkins.
Good grief. Napkins, really? Well i guess besides blocking the airflow they did kind of act as a filter. SMH.
Wow, when I seen today's video was only 9 min. long I was sad 😢. Then I watched it and wow. Please ask the owner why they were squirreling away so many napkins. Or if they were trying to insulate it more? Ha
Especially in used cars, check behind the glove box. No telling what you may find. I had a rattle under the dash on a car I bought. It was cassette tapes, and get this, of Russian music!
heh I've got an extensive napkin collection... never know when you're gonna need it! ahhh-CHOOOO!!
Aaaaand this would be why I keep my napkins and rhe like in an old pencilcase in the glove box! Tidier, easier to grab, and they stay where I put them. ... 🤣🤣🤣
I’m checking my wife’s Jeep wrangler now. She stuffs all kinds of things in the glove box. 👍
