Ray sees a near pristine New York vehicle…” this is gnarly and must go”
Eric O… “ hold my beer…”
Yeah, Eric O fixing the suspension on a clapped out Subaru is what you need to watch after this
@@ccmoos Seen it, then done it. It was gnarly.
That's a decent truck for our area too. Lots of salt water and air down here on the east coast of Md and Va. Eric O is definitely laughing at the "on its last leg" statement
It actually is on it's last leg, unless you're insane and like to drive a total rotbox that has it's drivetrain fall out or your seat fall through the floorpan.. both if which I've seen happen in person
If this was my truck... It would not be my truck. I've owned two fords in my life. Both were money pits. If I was "Pete", I'd park it and part it out.
That poor truck says don’t fix me. Let me go to car heaven!
I was thinking the exact same thing. If I were in Ray's shoes I would just say "Sorry, this truck is not worth fixing" and politely decline service.
Ray says, let me squeeze some last dough before that.
Some people don't want to buy a new car they keep them until its nothing but a rusted out shell
Or fix it enough to be roadworthy while implementing a serious plan for another truck.
@@ozzierabbit587 find a good body truck with blown engine...
9:05 Ray, those are Crane Flies. Also commonly called Mosquito Hawks. Despite the name, they do not hunt mosquitoes and they can't bite. I believe they're eternally doomed to circle porch lights.
Sorry you are very mistaken, that bug is a single engine hybrid swamp hopper(genus-ugli-buggious-giganticious) Relative to the May Fly which may fly or it may not. This one prefers to ride in rusty Fords and feed on surface rust. It's a native to the Florida swamp and is solely responsible for wiping out an entire species of the 4 toed-razor back Sloth that used to roam the wetlands, plains and suburb's of Florida's pan handle and is why they went instinct today.
Here in the UK we call them 'daddy long-legs'! Yes, crane fly!
They are called blind mosquitoes
@bernardcromarty485 Daddy Long Legs, really Granddaddy Long Legs but people often leave the Grand part off, aren't a flying bug here. They look like spiders with really long, hair thin legs and a round body about the size of a lentil. Fortunately, they're not spiders because some can be 4 inches across when they spread out. And that's too big for a spider.
@@fartzinacan They are however, excellent Trout food. Cranefly patterns are quite effective when the hatch is on.
The dog had that look like go away you're embarrassing me 😂
A mechanic in Dallas once told me they have specially designed high quality gravel roads that conscientious drivers bring their prized vehicles to aggressively drive to knock off under car rust.
Dallas vehicles don’t rust tho’
@@emmettturner9452because of the “specially designed high quality gravel road” maybe? 😅
@@Jmg831 Dallas vehicles don’t rust because Texas vehicle don’t rust. Texas vehicles don’t rust because southern vehicles don’t rust. The rust on that truck is from regularly salted roads in “rust belt” states. :)
@@emmettturner9452 oh ok thank you for the info ;)
Luna doesn’t like the city. lol. She yearns for the pond.

Yeah, my favorites too.
@OldFatBubba that was a wonderful surprise
Hopefully I,ll get added to that list in a year or two....
What a morning. A rainman rays video and southmain auto with in seconds of each other
Customer states,major brake issues
Mechanic states please randomly shift gears while I climb under this truck with major brake issues. 😂
😅😅😅
Ray Eric O turned that job down so Pete brought the truck to you! 😂
Ray does anything as long as customer has $.
Up here in Canada, we have a 'Conspiracy Theory' that says the auto dealerships subsidize the highway department de-icing, to include sand in the salt mixture. The sand is to wear away the paint protecting the body, so the salt can get to work! Rusted out cars = new car sales!
needs to sell new cars to keep economy prosper.
Not so much now that they are mandating EVs. EVs are a joke in places with wide open spaces.
@@johncooper4637 Not gonna happen. The impracticality of such vehicles for 90% of the population is enormous. Once the salt sand eats away at one of these jokes on wheels, they are basically garbage.
You missed a perfect opportunity while Dave was at lunch… “Dave’s not here!”
Exactly that snippet insert from tech talk ,extreme caution should be used when putting rusted frame vehicles on the rack
that overgrown mosquito is a crane fly. completely harmless, thank God
Don't they eat mosquitoes?
No
@@ProToolsApprovedI believe they do
Baby pterodactyl would be bad 😎
@@ProToolsApprovedthey can cause brown spots in your yard
No worries, I'm sure Ford will be more than willing to sell you a new truck for $70,000 + dollars.
I feel sorry for this owner and I am dealing with the same thing on a Dodge Ram, total junk!
Looks like a trip to the scrap heap would be the best result. ! 😅🤣😂
On the bright side my guess is that this is the last brake job that "Ferd" is ever gonna need.
@@johnfbmI have seen trucks far worse than this on the road.
@@jamessowards3822 Sure and I've seen worse too - doesn't mean this one will out last those brake pads.
In Pennsylvania, that truck would be in better condition than half the trucks I pass on the road every day, at least the frame is still pretty solid. People go ape crap when their truck fails an annual safety inspection due to rust. They then go find a shady practices garage and pay for a "lick it and stick it" inspection.
Its a ford. It was ready for the scrap yard the day it left the dealership
Living up here in the “rust belt” , and having many farms around , farm trucks are everywhere. It is typical. To have any brand truck used of a farm to be well rusted before its’ time . The junk they drive through will eat the metal very fast . Between the fertilizer., animal waste , both kinds , the automotive world offerings just don’t stand a chance . Good job Ray , also good to see wife unit learning more about your end of the shop .stay safe , have fun .
Truck eating bacteria?
This truck looks like it's from Eric O's COUNTRY with all the oxidation under that truck. SCARY!!!!!
Those are deck screws, Pete has higher standards than just drywall screws.
I made a similar comment.
It never ceases to amaze me what kind of scrap metal people drive around in...unbelievable
Yikes! What a rusty bucket! At least it can stop now.... 😂
CPR and hoses, gotta love Fords😢
So cool to see “wife unit” Lauren starting the transition to “Rain Woman!” Just a matter of time now!!
Thanks brother I needed the Ace Ventura reference. My Blood pressure is stupid high lately I'm getting really worried about my health and I really needed a good laugh. God bless you man !
I'm right there with you bud, same problem. Ray for the win!
Yall get that treated asap.
High bp can cost you your vision.
Best of luck.
u need to learn from truck owner and Ray, no worry, be happy.
If you are coughing some clear sort of liquid there is fluid in your lungs.
This makes it hard for blood to transit through and really boosts your blood pressure.
A diuretic is needed then, not blood pressure medicine.
My friend had this for a long time, his heart enlarged and he was close to heart failure before it was diagnosed.
@@wayneessar7489 That's exactly what is happening, I wake up every morning coughing clear crap up from my lungs, but just been to weak to do anything lately. I'm going try to make it to the clinic on Friday if I don't need the emergency room lol . ty for the info man It really makes perfect sense. I really feel like some oxygen would help. I definitely do not drink enough water and I get really dehydrated, I'm taking care of my elderly mother and I forget to take care of myself most of the time.
Thanks for the video Ray, good to see shop dog and wife unit 😀. That looks like a misquote hawk which if it is, it's good to have around.
I think you misquoted the name of the bug, it's a mosquito hawk.😎😎
Like the way you incorporated the boss into the script. Dresses up your videos. LOL
Very visual example of the "Northern Rust" you talk about..also on the brake line being frozen. I'd imagine the techs up there get used to it. Thanks for the great video on the "Ferd" brake job. And for the beautiful Lauren/Wife Unit cameo - and a Dave shot too. 😊
Good morning to all. Ray’s “Stopping better, before stopping forever video!” Poor old Ford. It will have the best front brakes in the junkyard. It wants to go home to Wilber’s and star in a SMA video too! Cheers to all. -KB
This was either a northern truck originally, or it was in a storm surge zone or went on saltwater boat ramps at some point in its life.
soon all Florida will be under storm surge.
Just remember that when you are in your safe vehicle traveling freely down the road....this truck is on the same roads putting you in jeopardy.
Doesn’t matter how rough it is, safety is safety. The driver wouldn’t only be risking their neck, they’d be risking every other driver on the road. Decision to repair was correct 👍
I'm not an expert on those but I believe those are star bit deck screws they have a copper zinc coating on them so they don't rust/corrode easily. Drywall screws typically do not and are a Phillips pattern bit
Came here to say this.
Mechanic and Scholar Ray, thanks for narrations
Giant Mosquitos are called Crane Flies or sometimes Mayflies. They're harmless.
Good morning RAY, SOMETIMES IT BEST TO SEND THE VEHICLE TO JUNK YARD HEAVEN 😅 PUPPY LOOKS TIRED ,BUT COMFFY😅 GOOD MORNING WIFE UNIT.
Crane flies (Tipuloidea) are actually beneficial, as their larvae help recycle organic waste. There is a mosquito species that's nearly that big though, called a Gallinipper (Psorophora ciliata). So big they have numbers painted on them.
Yup. They also like to fight over which one gets to carry you off!
Rainman Ray.. Cool video. That ones ready for junk yard cause it does not still feel like a new corvette. Wait.. what? Anyway I spilled my coffee when you said "you need a bigger one that goes deeper".. 😂😂
ray you can loosen the end of the brake line. I take the hose off the way you did. then I heat the end of the fitting and line so there red hot and then I hit it with some kind of penetrating oil while turning the nut and the line usually frees up. I've had very good luck with this method over the years of working on seized brake lines.
Yelp..
CPR - Calipers, Pads, and Rotors. Love the acronym!
Best of luck. I pray you return back safely to shop .❤
Thank you.
I love when you have the wife unit help you she's so cool she she gets right in there and checks everything out
Awesome video Ray
Ahhhhhh, Another great video by Rainman Ray's Repairs!!! 👩🦳
I had a neighbor who hit a bump on a back road while driving his old rusted out truck. The bounce separated the cab from the frame, he lost control and he ran into the ditch. The crash knocked out 4 of his front teeth. He was lucky that's all that happened.
As an ex Ford mechanic in the north east, that truck is in mint condition! Hell you'd probably condem my truck, 94 suburban, tiny spot in the frame that's bad up front by the bumper mount, still fixable but not going to, by the time it gets bad, I'd be driving something else.
When we moved to Florida from Ohio I had a friend bring down my 2002 F250. Once it got here, first drive the front right caliper seized. Next drive, rear brake line blew. 3rd drive it made the trip to Lowes and back before the rear tank strap broke.
By a new strap, no problem to fix. Go to remove the bed since that is pretty easy and helps when replacing the straps. Realized the only thing holding the bed on was the spray on bed liner. Everything else had rusted away. 😞
RIP beautiful 7.3.
The train in front of the one honking is still texting after light tuned green 😎
Ray I just had a 2013 toyota kluger/ highlander come to me with the exact same issue. I had the same opinion and you just confirmed it! Cheers mate for your videos from Australia
WIFE UNIT FTW!!! Good catch Lauren! 😂😂😂😂 damn drywall screws.
You can use that brake line trick on rear drum wheel cylinders as well. Unbolt the wheel cylinder and spin it off the line. Standard operating procedure here in Canada where the line fittings never turn. Learned it when I was a kid.
Crane flies are also called mosquito eaters. They don’t bite humans😎
Ray, thanks for the tip on tapping the bolt to compress the crush washers.
It's Fitz like a glove I knew you were going to say that Ray lol 😂😂😂
Thanks to mandatory yearly inspections where I live, I don't have to worry about sharing the road with rust buckets like this.
The truck is textbook definition to the word drive it till it drops!! And it's going to drop at any time!!! That truck is definitely beyond fixing!!😮 That is a vehicle that has never been maintenanced!!
What a great job you did on them breaks and it was nice seeing the wife unit so say hi to her from us❤
>don't run me over.
Lauren [thinking...]
"Did I make the insurance premium payment this month?"
@@CraigGrant-sh3in Or "We might need to increase that policy".
Ray battery azize is the funniest thing i have ever heard from anyone other than myself,you really crack me up ,thanks always love your video,GO RAY GO
I'm from Ohio and that truck looks pretty good.
Nothing a little fluid film can't fix.
Great job ray!!! Thanks again. Lauren thank you for your mandatory video appearence!!! Always a pleasure maam.
The brake clean queen.
oh hey, my teacher taught me if you have the rod that you press on brake pedal a tiny bit ( till brake lights turn on) then have rod stay up against seat you will stop the flow of fluid coming out. of course make sure to keep battery charged. was a great little tip. they had the right tool to adjust length up to seat and pedal.. anyway sure you knew about this.... love the vids man.
Nicely done Ray!
Thanks!
and thank you too!
So glad there is a compulsory annual inspection in the UK. This truck would have been off the road years ago ! Nice work.
Love the follow the yellow brick road talk..
Excellent backing skills.
You are a good man i learn from you ray thank you you’re friend Thomas Krakowski I have a Chevy truck thank you ray❤
Good diagnosis by Loren at 23:08
Well, at least you can tell the customer you've improved their fuel economy by knocking off all that rust.
This was a “Very Good Video” you exhibited many techniques that surely were acquired over many years. Of course Wife Unit was integral for the success.
What happened to the Kids that used to cheer when you showed the BreakClean can? They would say Yeah!! & be so excited.
Good job ray good tip to remove the brake hose ,top man 👍👌🔧🔧🔧❤️
I know i'm a bit late but as a past pest control expert those are called Crane Flys alot of people think they are mosquitos though they are harmless just annoiyng
My 98 Ford E250 I live in uses very same rotors and calipers and pads the caliper bracket bolts are 22mm and the slid pin bolts are 13mm I'm still on the new calipers and pads and rotors and bearings I did last year still working pretty damn well
Love the videos Ray. You did not mention the axle seals dangling.
I assume the budget did not allow for the clunckage under..... Thx from Wyoming for sharing and saving another good old ford
Great video as always! Maybe next time I am at Disney World, I will take a day to drive down and say "Good day to you!"
Infinitely restorable.
First time I took a vehicle in for an inspection to get plates while living in Germany, the inspector put the car on a lift, took out a huge screwdriver and with great force started stabbing at the underside of my car like a possessed murderer. Watching to nicely poke at the underside of this one reminded me of that.
GOOD JOB
As Eric would say it's ready for the crusher.
Luna puppy: The Luna pupster be looking at you suspiciously 😂😂
You are never too old for a new pair of shoes.
You guys need an annual mot inspection, i was a tester, it's amazing how many new friends you get too!
Holy Rust!
For Wisconsin that vehicle actually doesn't look very bad for the year at all. Those super duty calipers are trash, and are much worse when they actually rust like they do up north. Good job ray!
Welcoming back!
Some lucky guy will find those nice new parts in the junkyard soon.
I wanted to see ray replace those ball joints. Lol
I don't think he has the license to use high explosives. Remember the Mythbusters " When in doubt C4"
Watching you beat the pads loose from the calipers reminds me why I always lubricate the slides. You southerners get by with putting them up dry, but we can't.
really this happened because of lack of lubrication? Or just 100 year old brake pads?
Hey my friend had an old jeep used strictly for firewood gathering up north, it was so rusty he welded the doors shut so it would not fold in half.
So long as the chassis is solid and the motor still runs Ray can keep it rolling... LOL...
That truck will have the best front brakes in the salvage yard. 😊
This is one of those jobs where you quote brakes all around and an alignment for like 4 or 5 hours labor then work on it from 9 until 5 before you start the alignment and both the tie rods need to be super heated 🥲
Ray - for us “lie in the dirt” mechanics who have no idea how to use a lift, could you explain the basics of operating it sometime.
You drive the car over it. You push the button. Car goes up.😂😂
Sorry, I had to do that.
Problem is, that’s what I thought too, but then Ray is talking about breaking motors and valves and stuff
@@jbell987
I was just joking. Unfortunately a lot of people think that’s all you do. There is a lot to learn in the proper way to operate a lift. I’ve been doing it for over 40 years, and I still have a healthy respect when putting a car/truck on a lift.
Any time you lift weight from the floor, doesn't matter how much or how high, you have to make sure you know how to safely operate whatever lift gear you are using. Jack, hoist, chainfall, gantry crane, crowbar safety is all the same. Saw a guy use nylon straps to lift a 13,000 pound roller. He miss applied them by having them at too little of an angle over the sides of the roller. The straps were of t h e proper rating to handle the weight but were misused. The proper spreader beam was available to be used but wasn't. Fortunately it only dropped a few inches. In the end you cannot be too safe.
Its nice that you show metric measurements too 🙂
