Up Early! Good morning!
😂
@@RainmanRaysRepairs Yes Sir -
Took our family trip to Texas Houston - Renaissance Festival
Now eating all this delicious food and enjoying life so I seen my boyfriend pop up with a new video and had to show some love
Now here I am loving
For anyone who sees this I'm just joking with Ray - I'm a military Ford Mechanic with a sick twisted sense of humor
And I'm straight but I call Arod and Ray my boyfriends lol....just humor
You know Boy (man)
Friend ( boy friend )
Anyway I screwed all that up....you get the point
@@FordBossMe Epic LOL 😂
4 o'clock in the morning and I'm watching you play with someone's rear end. Life is good
🤣
Not to repeat myself but, giggity
As long as he keeps the cover in place it's safe.
He was wearing protection!
Did the rear end serve a function or was it there to look good. - And double Giggity
Make as many videos as you want. Every minute of them gives us viewers either the knowledge or power to repair things ourselves with some competency and or a laugh a minute. You did miss a (gravity ) comment when the bolt from the prop shaft fell to the floor. That bungy cord was about as much use as a chocolate teapot. I love your work, your humour and your videos. I’m an army veteran who served 9 years in the British army as a mechanic. So I feel your pain your relief and satisfaction when the job is complete. Keep up the good work.
How can you know rear end gear ratio 04 ram
I enjoy all your videos don't let anyone tell you anything nasty block their butts. I am retired nurse and the way you analyze while you do your craft is excellent . A doctor for cars and teaching everyone who watches. Thank you for all the info you share.
Ave is "our" hero, the enthusiasm is shared.
Thanks for the content.
Kind regards,

Ray.. you didn't want to work at the shop all week.. but yet here you go working to make videos. Go spend time with your family. From a big brother to a little brother. You do NOT get a rewind button with those kids. Once you miss it you miss it. Once you lost that time its gone. Thanks for sharing and taking the extra time.. but go be a dad.. thats better than being the best mechanic Florida. Stay safe and be well.
You're smart about finding help to lift heavy large oddly shaped parts.
The pain from heavy lifting never goes, it just changes and worsens some as years pass.
It causes nucleic impressions in lumbar vertebrae, the resulting geometry is a pain in several ways.
That was a wise lift.
a smart mechanic would have lowered the vehicle to the ground.
@@dubious6718 its hard to reach all the bolts when you're laying on the floor. No need to be a dickfer
As a middle aged ex Olympic style weight lifter, I can confirm the worsening pain.
@@jeremyg9240 he's right though. prep it near removal with as little left as possible then bring her down and put a jack under it.
@@rickylafleur5823 I understand the logic I just didn't like the "smart mechanic" line lol
0:20 I think the body shop guys missed a spot 😉😁😂😎
Sir good afternoon, I just wanted to say thank you for reawakening my passion for turning wrenches. I bought into the idea the with computers my time had passed, you helped me realize in alot of cases this isn't true. Thank you Ray, keep up the great work and comedic commentary
16:53 We need ONE more guy, hey JUAN, come here. Get it....Juan more guy.
I don’t think Ray’s colleagues got the joke! 😁
@@FistralG I don't think ray caught it at the time.
Hell this guy Juan has tattoos as big as the rear axle .
Took some thinking to get it but thanks, that’s funny!
16:57 Did you see who the 3rd guy is? 1st guy: Ray, 2nd guy: Juan, 3rd guy: Tom Arnold (Arnold Schwarzenegger's partner from the film "True Lies").
Since you had a lift I'm surprised you didn't leave those last bolts in, then lowering the lift gently put the rear end on jack stands or notched wood blocks, then take the bolts out and raise the truck back up.
tis the way, it's safer and way easier but i use a jack to support it then you can just drag it out of your way and get the new one on without bothering anyone else working.
@@rickylafleur5823 Sure but what happens when it tips off the jack?
@@mitchstaff8281 you mean the whole 1-2 feet? you reset it and honestly that is extremely rare since diffs are pretty fn balanced, would have to be retarded to drop a diff from a stand. no cap.
So much easier than doing this on the ground! The lift helps the job go soo much more efficient. Driveway mechanics have a lot of heart doing what they have to do to get the job done. Roger in Pierre South Dakota
I laughed when you just left that pine needle hanging off the brake caliper, gotta love Florida foliage getting everywhere.
Something to point out to other “shady tree” mechanics. You’ll notice ever time he drops a nut/bolt/random bit (gravity😂🤣😂) he doesn’t need to worry where it went. That is the advantage of having an uncluttered work space and worth every bit of the few minutes spent before you start! Just a tip from the old folks👍
@@douganderson7002 lol
Interesting to see a car manufacturer using the four link set up in their design . For decades I was building them for my Hot rod projects but I doubt I ever used such thin tube for the panhard rod though.
Oh man, I bet it will be a bear to get back together. I love these wreck repair videos
Taking it apart is the easy part :D unless it's a rusted 24 year old shit bucket
Ray does a great job with the editing and camera angles all while doing his job!
Probably would have taken twice the time to do in the Northern rust belt. I bet you would have been cutting a lot of the bolts instead. Thank you for the great video.
so true anyone who's never worked on a northern vehicle can appreciate your comment
I dont know, that truck looked pretty new. Now give it a few years to marinate in the brine and you would be 100% right.
Oxy torch: It can't be jammed if it's LIQUID!
@@NemoConsequentae I bought one of those Thermal coil heaters. It works great. Used it on a downstream O2 sensor and did a great job.
I use the one man approach and leave the wheels on , remove all but a couple of bolts then lower the vehicle to the floor until the wheels touch then unbolt the differential , roll it out on the wheels .
That would have meant bleeding the brakes afterwards as well though, in this case. All depends on the situation & the equipment available!
The qoute of the entire video? "Commmeer and pick it up yerself, big man!" LOL!
Unfortunately, Rams are now imported into Australia where they're converted to right hand drive,and sold for inflated prices. Purchasers fail to understand that body parts and panels for repairs are difficult to acquire, having to endure parts importation, extending waiting times and high dollar value. An example is a body shop next to my work, three Rams awaiting windscreen. Have been sitting for 3 months as the windscreen suppliers await import deliveries. Another great vid Ray.👍👍🇭🇲
That sucks, full size trucks are very cheap to own in the states if you don't mind turning wrenches in your spare time.
Why can’t I stop watching this channel
I like watching the process you explain and go through when working.
I had a deaf mechanic working for me at one time and his air tools sounds like yours. One day I just went through all of his air tools and Teflon tape the crap out of them and man oh man was I happy camper after that.
REEEEE YOU DROPPED THE CUSTOMERS DRIVESHAFT BOLT ON THE GROUND!!! :O ITS GONNA BE DESTROYED WTF RAYYYY (this is a meme)
😂😂
@@RainmanRaysRepairs Aye, my 08 Silverado has a clunk in the rear diff when shiting PRND and when coasting sometimes.. think she needs a full rebuild in rear diff or maybe just low on fluid..? (maybe diff needs to be flushed?). Haven't taken it apart yet but just wondering if you'd have some kind of insight. Got a remanned 4l60E with upgraded parts so I know it's not that. It's got the G80 limited slip locker also
@@vivian_music remove the driveshaft from the axle and rotate the flange on the diff, see if it has play in the gears. It’s best to do it with the rear cover removed to you can see if there is play in the differential. Pay close attention to play in the pin/gear case area.
@@RainmanRaysRepairs thanks buddy :D
@A. Melbs I just posted 2 videos of the issue, one is shifting between PRND and the other is just me wiggling it by hand. They're a few months old, didn't feel like going out to get new ones cause it's current like 50° in Michigan
“Oh cool, can’t even get the wheel off.”
So we apparently have a similar sense of humor.
You make us laugh. You talk about the job in hand with this rear axle,,,,like it’s easy easy. It’s a very tricky job indeed. Great to watch though Ray.
Love to watch your videos.
Free All sprayed around the hub and a three jaw puller gets the rotor off every time. You do nice work.
Reminded me of the time many years ago when I was newly hired at some store and they tried to prank me. Boss told me to move a box from the front of the store to the storage area. I picked it up and brought it to the back with a bit of effort. When i came back out, half the staff were just staring at me. Asked why. Apparently it took three of them to bring the box out in their attempt to mess with me.
From that day on, if something needed to be moved, I was the guy to call.
That's what happens when you work as a landscaper for 15 years. Every day you get to work out 8-12 hours. Makes me strong.
That axle would barely have registered.
Nice magnet light, glad you're not fighting the gravitational pull with it so far...
i really enjoy your longer videos . knew nothing about cars before stumbling onto your videos. now i know some stuff and chime along with "click" and "power down".
Thank u for the prolific content m8 one of the best
It's quarter past six on a Sunday morning. I should be sleeping. Instead, I'm eating pound cake, drinking chocolate milk from the container, and watching a guy play with his dangly bits. And that's not even a euphemism. I'm officially old and have turned into my dad. 😲
Better than watching the trashy woke sport leagues.
Last Spring the rear end exploded on my truck. long story short, after I brought the truck, i heard noise back there, and I even had the fluid checked, it was full. i drive it for about 5 years and one day it exploded and put me on the side of the road. The guy that opened it up, it was still full of fluid but gears busted all over inside. Put a new used one in, it is silent compared. also they made sure to put the right lube in it, i now suspect the first one needed.
Set the new axle under the truck on jack stands with a floor jack under the diff. Hang plumb bobs from the mounts on the frame. Use them to get the axle into proper position for assembly. Lower the truck until the mounts line up and stick in some bolts. Raise the truck and finish the job.
I hate those flat racks for trucks but I have to use mine on them sometimes
The man, the myth, the legend.
Ladies and gentlemen...
FORD BOSS ME! 💪 🇺🇸
@@TonicofSonic Thanks Brother Love Thes Guys Like Ray - True Technicians
We have to get him on the Wednesday show with Arod
Smart get four guys to lift, don’t stress your backs out if you can avoid it !!!!!!! I had a boss that insisted that I handle ten foot fire cord drywall myself. I’m not going to do it I told him, he said well I don’t need you! So I left two hours later his boss called me said come back and I’ll pay ya for lost hours. Went back and me and apprentice handled that board!
I prefer the Milwaukee cordless impacts. Yeah they cost more but the have quite a bit more power in mho. But your Rigid certainly got the job done!
I had an S10 I had to do the same thing to. Thank god for alignment pins or post.
In my way of thinking, it was much safer to have four lifting it then someone getting hurt. I've worked with differentials before. Not very light and can easily get in trouble before you know it. Thumbs Up!
Apart from the fact none of the four have a clue about lifting safely that is :) Bend knees, not back! Really needed a 5th person supervising the lift with a clear overview.
Love the teamwork and wisecracks!
I did the samé thing on a VH commodore, it had sand in the diff unt was disk braké rear. I swapped it with a VC commodore rear endé how-ever thatt was a drum braké modél. I had to remove the half shaft tho from the VH as the shafts were different Bet-Wéên dusqué untt Drumm. I Managéd to gett it inn all ok unt it worked wunder-fully 👍👍
i was hearing tons of AVE's vernacular through watching your backlog but I figured it was just more ubiquitous in general. Glad to know someone else who enjoys that crazy canuckistani.
AvE is everyones hero.
my friend picked up a fwd rear axle and he carried it by himself, light at first but started to feel the strain by the time he got to the truck lol. wise not to put your back out if you can avoid it
trick to get the lug nut out of a socket thats stuck..... need 3 tools .... 1 hammer ... 2 big Philips screw driver 3 vise bench ...... tighten the socket onto the vise bench with the square pointing up ... put ur Philips screw driver in there and hammer down on it tell it pops out ..... works every time..
"Hey Juan! Here's your chance at GLORY!!!".... Sorry, I'll be sick that day Ray!
Smarter man than I. I used to move axles around myself in my dumb teenage years. Much smarter to employ others to help lol
Its funny.... I have what looks to be a "used car lot" in my driveway, yet I'd much rather sit here and watch you do the struggle...lol
I would have first spun the rear wheels while jacked up and see if they wobble. If so, most likely the wheel is bent, not the rear-end, so try it with an undamaged wheel. If not, then perhaps just the axle is bent and not the whole rear housing. But, your instructions might have been to "replace everything", in which case results of above tests would be "merely interesting".
If I can ask (and you don’t have to answer) but what shop do you work at and where, I’d really like to bring by my truck next time I have a problem, I believe you are one of the best and most honest mechanics around and I’d love to have you work on my truck
Love me some Peter.....wait a minute? That didn't sound too good...🤣
Nice one Ray, thanks for sharing buddy 👍
You should have loosened the 4 link bars off on the other end to release the twist in the bushings. You have to have the weight on the suspension to tighten the 4 link bolts. Hope you checked it was the same gears in junk yard one.
If it got hit that hard, none of the brake components or trailing arms should be reused, in my opinion anyway.
Juan don't wanna come over
@4:09 pine needle is star of the show!
Great teamwork at end. 🖒🤠
Now we must have video of "big man" failing to solo lift the axle.
Hey Rain man ! Take your red hammer and pry bar a straighten that baby out! You can do it, you’re the Rain Man! (Just Joking)
We're digging your exploits and enthusiasm down here in the antipodes , where it's 1:16am Monday morning
and we're blunting and munching on KFC 🦘🦘🦘
If you can do arm curls with that axle...WOW!!!
That's one big BOOTAY!!!
We are so lucky you get the good stuff to work on 😂😂😂!!!
Poor Juan....getting yelled at by everyone now.....
Wow. That was a hard impact on the 'ol fiat/dodge....👽
Omg I think it's so funny when the phone ring and you make fun of it.
If that’s a 3.92 I could really use the ring and pinion and the carrier.
"I know this looks sketchy, but don't be scared. I'm not"
*dun dun dunnnn*
(so glad this wasn't a case of famous last words")
Just as the conversation was gettin good.. thats the best part about working in a shop…. Hell one day a buddy brought in an airsoft bb gun and spent all damn day messing with the old guy in the shop.. wait till hes arm deep in a car and from across the shop pick him in the leg or up under the car so the thing bing all around inside and makes em think they dropped something or somethings falling out.. lol.. good times.. or when we put one of those rubber chicken voicebox things in peoples air gun exhaust.. lol. Or a train horn whistle inside.. they got me with one of the fake turbo whistles and i thought the damn gun was about to blow up.. lol..
Then there's that pic of the harmonica zip tied behind someones radiator...
So much difference down south easy job, south main auto would have spent all day heating rusted nuts and bolts off.
I noticed the passenger side bump stop was missing hope you replaced it, and no this is not a ree, on your abilities or I would not still be watching your videos brother, just an observation. Have loved your videos for over a year now. :)
Hopefully you can check the frame for any unexpected bends !!
Yup, time to call in the big guns! Go Juan
man you get some nightmares to work on
I wok on old stuff ,like my 1990 Yj, and those after market lug nuts are not solid, the Mopar stuff really sucks, if you dont keep an eye on em, the chrome covering with bust off and you end up using socket sizes that dont fit the lug nut over the phoney chrome lug nut,s, when you buy after market lug nuts look for solid ones, make sure the seat taper is correct
Yaknow, Peter sounds like he might even know what he's doing
I hate those two piece lug nuts! That's why I replaced all of mine with 1 piece nuts from American truck, got them for $20!
Many hands make light work.
Hey! I've got a half-inch wobbly too!
We have "wobbly bits"🤣
We all love AVE
Ave is my royal Canadian stuperhero !
Your Rigid impact seems to have pretty good torque...
All the new electric stuff is amazing. Saves a lot of time and no more dinking with air lines.
I seen a guy doing the same thing on a pickup truck on the same style lift when he dropped the rear end out it made the rear end light and the truck did a nose dive off the lift it was not a good thing for me I would be putting a jack on the front of that truck you never knew
Always Lift smart it’s a good idea 👍
Used to carry those axles by myself. Woosies.
Then wonder why my body is screwed now? Nope I don't.
But that's a two guy job that axle hahahaha.
. The replacement in hr and a half. Tops
Must be the season. Because I just replaced a rearend in the same pick up. 😂 wasn't collision related though. Pinion bearing gave up and after we told him we can just replace pinion, ring and bearings the customer said "nah just replace the whole thang" 😂 I will never understand people like I do autos. Oh well. Have a good one ray.
He was maybe thinking of the trade off costs of the labour for replacement vs. the whole axle. Then there is new vs. used, and OEM or aftermarket improved?
@@NemoConsequentae I guess but I still don't get it. Replacing the entire rear assembly cost him just under $1300.00 (used btw) the ring and pinion would have been a 2 hour wait and $500.00 price. I try to ignore the prices of things but sometimes the customers talk to me directly. I didn't mind the extra money. It just didn't seem logical. In the end though wasn't my truck or decision.
@@autodoctor6512 Oh, I'm, not saying that it is actually cheaper, just that that _could_ have been his thought process, and not that it is correct.
GOOD JOB
"Give me back my socket..."
I know that song, but I like their earlier stuff better.
It's always easier said than done
I have never replaced an axle. Seems like more stuff attached than I thought. Seems within my skill abilities but without a lift it would be a long couple days.
all that disassembly sounds easy if you say it fast - so does the reassambly
The older a person gets the more wobbly bits they aquire hahaha
I think you’re gonna find more damage. That looked to be a hard hit.
lol homie at the end is like me when my boss would take forever to give me a second hand. carried many differentials by myself, ain't that bad when you get it on your shoulder if you gotta move it far.
I can't imagine what it's like working on such a clean nice non rusty Florida vehicle...... Up here in PA well let's just say gotta use more than a tappy tap 🤣
I have a 2005 Crown Victoria that was an Arizona DPS car in its first life, and in full disclosure I live in that state. The car has close to 300k miles on it, and the underside of it is almost clean enough to eat off. No rust anywhere.
Okay Ray edumacated me TODAY 7AM central time ⏲️
BROTHER 👍
For my own safety I probably would have deflated that tire first thing, especially since it had obvious damage and just things waiting to puncture it.
I got wobbly bits too!
is that how an impact socket works? with an large hammer...LOL
