    I’m floating in and out of hospital at the moment and any spare time I have is usually in a waiting room.
    BUT, any spare time I have at home…..it’s seek out Ray and “ The Spousal Unit “ for some r&r.
    Thanks guys, I really love your show.

      I wonder how many really nice trucks have been dealt the same hand as this one by their wannabe Grave Digger owners. Very few things look as ridiculous and are as useless as lifted pick-up trucks. Every one of them has this same front suspension failure waiting to happen, it's only a matter of time. Oh well, whatever floats your boat I guess.

  • @hot_wheelz
    @hot_wheelz 10 місяців тому +51

    When everything is a hammer 😂😂😂 the only sad thing is that I can't help but feel that it won't be long before another wheel / axle lets go. And no Ray, not trying to take a cheap shot at you, I 100% understand commercial realities. If the owner of the vehicle doesn't want to do a full rebuild then whatever happens next is ultimately on them.

    • @mtebaldi1
      @mtebaldi1 10 місяців тому

      Never a budget repair on safety. That said Ray knows what he's doing.

    • @frazzledude
      @frazzledude 10 місяців тому +1

      Being cheap and on a tight budget is usually much more expensive than spending the money to do it right the first time. For example, the owner of this truck is probably not going to spend the money for a front wheel alignment. Those tires already need to be replaced, but if he doesn't do the alignment, he will just spend a lot more money on tires. It costs more up front to do a complete and thorough job, but that is what credit cards are for.

    • @hot_wheelz
      @hot_wheelz 10 місяців тому +4

      @@frazzledude yep being cheap does cost more in the long run but if things are tight enough that it's a choice between keeping a roof over your head, clothes on your back, food on the table and the keeping the lights on then I also understand that from a practical standpoint sometimes people simply have to do what they have to do and try to ride out the rough patches until things improve. I am not about to give the owner of this vehicle a hard time for needing to make difficult decisions because we don't know their situation and circumstances. It's easy to sit in a glass house throwing stones, criticising others but honestly if you haven't walked a mile in the guys shoes then you've got little business telling them how they ought to live their life. One thing about Ray that I appreciate is that he understands such realities, and he does his best to make the vehicle as safe as possible given the available budget knowing that if he doesn't do the job then someone else will only likely in a far less safe manner.

  • @duncancremin1708
    @duncancremin1708 10 місяців тому +10

    Oh I can feel my old instructor spinning in his grave. Using old brake pads with new brake discs (rotors, in the US, right?) is apparently an unforgivable offence. Never understood why and I’ve done it under protest, sometimes, without any problems.
    It’s good to see another professional do it, probably also under protest, given the age of the truck and the extensive parts list. Sometimes you’ve gotta do what you’ve gotta do.

    • @duncancremin1708
      @duncancremin1708 10 місяців тому +3

      @theundergroundlairofthesqu9261 10 місяців тому

      In the US, rotor or disc.
      In theory, you want brand new machined metal and brand new pad to get to know each other, but I'm not the only one here to have done a "pad slap" here and there, I'm sure. I'm not sure, however, what's so 'orrible about used pads on new rotors. Bedding pads, as I understand it, is about breaking in the rotor surface/depositing the nice layer of brake pad on them. Of course, a used pad may not be square/level/evenly worn, too.

  • @Andrew-ep4kw
    @Andrew-ep4kw 10 місяців тому +5

    It's good you're replacing the whole caliper since the force that bent the bracket most likely damaged the piston seals. That happened with my 2018 Mazda 3, the wheel came off because the mechanic forgot to tighten the lug nuts. We had to replace the wheel, the fender and the lower control arm knuckle. A month later we noticed the caliper was leaking brake fluid so we had to get that replaced as well. Luckily, it was all covered by the garage's insurance.

    On parts you can't find at a parts store you can find them at a salvage yard. Things like those bearing bolts, seal retainer, dust cover and such.
    If you have a you pull it yard it may take pulling the parts you are after to find good parts. Things like bolts sometimes don't come out as usable. You might to want picking up extra bolts and such just to keep on hand.
    There are other things that can be handy to keep around. Things like relays, lug nuts are things I collect when at the yard. They don't cost much and can save you a lot of time searching for them when you need it.

    I did the same as you with the Subaru, extractor broke off in the block of a Nissan Sentra, I bought $300 worth of drill bits to drill it out and spent almost 4 days drilling on it. My step father was a machinist and he said “how do you sharpen a tool steel bit? With a stone” I bought a stone for my Dremel and had ground through the extractor in about 30 seconds. You can do it and save money.

    "Danger Ranger" A friend of mine had a true Danger Ranger. It was a 4wd 89 standard cab with a 4 banger and a 5 speed, and it had a few scary issues. The front wheel u-joints were trashed, so it made horrific noises when he used 4wd, the driver rear cab mount bracket on the frame (right under the driver's butt) was rotted completely away (absolutely nothing left of it, and the frame was cracked where it kicked up behind the cab on the same side. He ignored all of it, because it was just a beater. Literally. He beat that thing like a rented mule both on and off road.

    @RainmanRaysRepairs great video as always this one had a lot of carnage but I think you may have forgotten the nylon circlip which holds the CV shaft in place from going in and out of the wheel bearing assembly.

    • @casualobserver1663
      @casualobserver1663 10 місяців тому +1

      I agree 👍 I have extensive experience with this setup and you are missing the circlip, kinda looking like it was already missing, and for future reference it's all the same as 95/01 explorer, other than the unit bearing and half shaft, in mid 2000 the ranger ditched the hubs and became identical to explorer

    Reminds me of when I had a 1986 full size EB bronco. I did all of my own mechanical fixes. It also had lock out hubs. I put all of the part's in order that they came out, thn reassemble them in reverse order.i was a class b mechanic. Love your channel ❤️ 💕 ♥️ keep up the great work. Hello from Pa USA 🇺🇸.
