Lauren: "What happened to all the wire hangers I ordered???"
Ray & Dave: 🤔
😂😂😂
You don't need to order them, they multiply like magic every week when they bring the uniforms.
"What wire hangers...?"
Lauren: Hint, any shop that has welders use coat hangers rather than walk an extra 10’ and get the rods which are usually missing , stolen, lost, covered in 5000poumds of scrap metal.
Blame it on the new guy!!
I am declaring you as the "Fearless Mechanic." I watch all your videos. Favorite thing is you explain as you go. I am a retired 70 year old once was mechanic. It's fun watching your videos. Keep em going, take care.
77 Sunset Strip! ( for those of us old enough to remember!)
I just posted. Only us old farts will spot that. 🤣Shows how TV affects people, eh? 👍
Ed Burns (Cookie) and Efrem Zimbalist Jr.
My Grandfather worked at a car rental agency next door to the building where they filmed the exterior scenes.
So, how old is Ray to remember that?
@@scottrandall8502not old enough.
“Cookie, where’s your comb?”
Some people enjoy watching a ballet, for the beauty in motion. I prefer watching Ray press bearings. Beautiful Ray, beautiful.
we are "collectively very sad people"
Oh ! Lotus. . . . . . . . .
Lots Of Trouble, Usually Serious.
😂 creative
Hi everyone, hello Ray, have a great day, everyone. 😃👋🏻.
YOU TOO BUD!!
You as well bud
Cheers mate 👍
Greetings from Hawaii!
@@Michael-yi4mchello friend 😃👋🏻
My son loves your channel. He has learned a lot. He has a learning disability and learns through visuals.
That is awesome that he has found a way to learn, and enjoys it!
Ray the sound effects on the brake cleaner brings a smile to me every time you do it.
Now that Ray started doing it, Eric O has slowed down on doing it, if he does it at all anymore.
LOVE IT! That FERD owner gonna be super duper happy!
Until something else inevitably breaks.
@@drysori lol welcome to the cycle of owning mechanical things.
Watching how you used the old race to drive in the new one reminds me of the phrase "the more things change the more they remain the same". That's how I was trained over 50 years ago. The same as rolling a pattern.
Ray, I am 72 and own a Chrysler Muscle Car Restoration Shop in the St.Louis MO. area. I watch your channel everyday. Your an exceptional Professional Mechanic and your customers are very lucky to have you and your shop at their disposal. You care about your customers and correctly repair their cars. Thanks please keep the videos coming. I have shown many of them to my young mechanics so they can see how a professional mechanic is suppose to work. Please tell your “Wife Unit” hi for me. Take care my friend
You need a TV show like Mark Worman's
Sounds like you have young hacks in the making.
@@ginog5037 I assume by hacks you are speaking about the young mechanics I have told about Ray’s videos. Well two of those young hacks build some of the fastest Hemi engines in the country. The others have assisted my shop in winning the Mopar Nationals three years in a row. So I’ll take those kind of hacks. What great mechanical feats have you accomplished
Back in the day........1970s, I was taught to smear a little dab of grease on the ring gear . One revolution of the ring gear gave us a pretty good idea of how they meshed. We never had a comeback, knock on wood. BTW, please keep the videos rolling, great content always.
Greetings: Same here. Thx 4 the share.
as a retired tech that worked in fla for over 30 years, i know the business. the fact you record your repairs makes you the most trusted tech possible. kudos, just because i worked for the most honest, trusted, owner/tech in our town. we stayed full by word of mouth only, and he had been in business for over 50 years.
The Gear Oil In A Bag are great for those times you would need to pump it in because the designers hates people.
Ray casually showing us the Lotus and mentions the CTS-V. Can't wait to see them in a video :P
Lotus stands for Lots Of Trouble Usually Serious.
@@kenore4003 Honestly, that's suprising since they use Toyota powetrains.
Ray, you are a very patient man. And... nice job.
Ray, thank you. I’ve been one of those shade-tree mechanics since the 80’s. Some of the jobs you’ve undertaken, I haven’t had a chance to do. I’m a firm believer that the first time you do any job it takes at least twice as long (or more), even if a chilton manual is on hand. Mistakes are what we learn from, however completing a job without mistakes is also very rewarding. I just wish that the trolls would go and waste someone else’s time. A lot of the phrases that you use, I’ve been using all of my life. Sarcasm is my second(sometimes first language). People that know me, have learned not to leave open comments for me to exploit. LoL. If I’m ever in Florida I’ll make it a point to look you up. Have a fantastic day. Say “Hi” to the wife unit. …later…
it is 3 times as long , by the third time you are on the money.
CRC absolutely makes the best Brakleen!!
Nice job !
Reminds me of the lead paint we used to use when setting up wear patterns on differentials and timing marks on transmission gear sets on 18 wheelers
I just had flashbacks from the 60's. My 54 Chevy had the exact same way of taking the axles out, and I had to do that one night in the dark with no flashlight. We beat the crap out of it, and would break wheel studs. Can't tell you how many times I tore it apart.
Could be just me but it's one of my favorite things when i finish installing new bearings. That smooth fresh new quiet feeling. Thanks for the video.
Ray when I was in Automotive school many moons ago our instructor used persian blue on the ring gear. It worked well. This was back in 1985. I still remember the procedure. Thanks for posting.
Where did the persian blue come from Iraq? OR did you mean Prussian? lol
I think that you meant Prussian Blue. If you got that on your skin or clothing, it was not fun trying to get it off.
@@stuglenn1112 Yes the later.
@@glennschemitsch8341It went everywhere 😂😅
Sounds like a sewing machine great job.
Funny adding that scene from Mommie dearest.😂 No wire hangers!!!
I've never seen that movie, but I've seen that scene around a hundred times.
Another job well done. Thank you for posting.
Sarcasm and bitterness mixed in with the wit of Ray and you get a great video of a rear end fix.
watching this made me realize i too have to rebuild my diff, makin the same noise and vibrations as this ford. thanks for letting me know what im getting in to
I like how at 19:00 the jeep of doom is rolled into the destined to break lift.
Love your "hint of sarcasm"! Guarantee if i had been in the same predicament, sarcasm would NOT have been a description used for my wording! I'm so glad the parts gawds finally blessed you with the proper parts. Sally forth and assemble Ford product! Thank you for the laughs. 😊
I would always trust your judgment. You been at this game to long your experience is good enough 👍
A couple comments suggested heating the carrier bearings and/or ring gear to expand them, so they would slip on easily and a press isn't needed. Yes, that works. But I bet Ray already knows that trick and chose to use the press instead, so he didn't have to stand around twiddling his thumbs waiting for the parts to heat up, then again wait while they cooled back down.
By using the press he saved time. And he needed that extra time to paint his yellow masterpiece! 😂
My dad and I used mom's freezer to chill down the axles, and we had a special oven for heating up parts. The only reason we used the hot-cold shrinkage was because we didn't have a press. that technique works very well, when pressing on bearings. But you have to work fast.
Some bearings you can't use a press. It's not about time but tolerances.
Reminds me when i have done same job,yes dont want to say your were lucky, back lash and preload and mesh came out great. Ive had to reshim dif couple times...lol
Thanks for the video
Thank you. I am a visual learner and always wondered how the pin held the retainer clips in place to keep the axle from sliding out
53:54...Great Work !!!...I'm waitin' for the Lotus !!....
No biting your head off here. I was in the business for better than 25 years. I was in the parts procurement decision of it but I've seen it done Lord knows how many times. I sat here wondering when your we're going to paint the ring gear. Fine job Sir. I love watching these.
I had one bad bearing in the same diff and my mechanic added the cost of parts and it was cheaper by about 50% to buy a guaranteed for about 6 months a whole rear axel assembly, brakes, axels, pig, cover, input shaft, no leaks. My mechanic just removed the Carrie that had the bad gear and bearing. That was 2 years ago. My F150 has 172,000 today, so the fix is in for over 12,000 miles. AOK. I didn’t get the rest of the axel and the mechanic retired. I cried. Most people don’t understand that mechanics like Ray and my guy and 2 guys at the marina I use to use are about , 1 in 10,000 minimum. How do you tell good from bad? Guess and Test. Reputations varies, they are 50% accurate but so is a coin toss. You pick.
Ray needs apprentices. For the first month they had him wrenches and listen. If anybody at a local community college had 1/2 brain they would hire a spec writer, guys that write service manuals, and go over and video and audio record and covert to section of the new Technicians Repair Manual for Cars and Light Trucks. This stuff is GOLDEN. A man with these abilities is like a good electrical engineer. It takes so many brain cells that they lose their social graces. Ray didn’t. He is a modern Cray Computer of mechanical and electrical automotive repair plus good vocabulary and doesn’t skip stuff like, “ as I’m hammering in the outer axel bearing you know when it’s seated when the tone changes (that little tip can save a lot of time and anger and disgrace and humiliation ).
RAY, WATCH YOUR FINGERS!!
Ray, next gear ring, try butting in the wife’s oven at 350F for about 30 minutes to check with a infrared HarborFreight thermometer, just like a starter ring on a flywheel.
Ray, the best to you. You are a Jewel among rocks. Some technical production company should offer to organize your work into different car systems and create an electronic Library with “key word” look ups. Of course they pay you and you get a residual from each use or sale. First 3 uses are free, like dope.
That's a great idea but I have to wonder if the dealer repair manuals (and thus procedures ) are copywrited. I'm pretty sure they are. Not really sure about the legalities.
That catch when the socket fell off the bearing! So nice!
Finally the truck is back on the road. Another victory for Ray.
The Sound of Music!
Silence!!!
28:48 Even after 5 decades that "77, Sunset Strip" tune keeps playing every time that number is mentioned. Jeez. I'm old! 🤣
Kookie, Kookie, lend me your comb.
My high school graduation year
Bendin with Bendon is a hoot!
Guy knows what's up and he's hilarious!
Thank you for explaining what is going on with the Cobra!
We had a Tech. That bought a '55 Chevy and he , in the end, had about five set of ring and pinions gears. He was searching for a combo that worked on street and strip. He found it eventually.
Usually when I press bearings into a diff I put some glue on the shaft so the inner bearing race stays and also if you put a towel over the bearing you can hit it without damaging it you don’t need a press just hit it with a sledge
Ray, you're spot on. This IS a very good video. Thanks for sharing.
Mech engineer here. The pinion would have to move towards the rear of vehicle to center the wear pattern on the ring gear, not towards front of car like you said.
That being said, for this application, at these power levels, it doesn’t matter.
For those that want to learn more about torque sticks, the TTC channel on YT is a great resource of the science involved.
Thankyou I'll head over to see the science revealed
When I would rebuild a rear-end I would always take some gear oil and lube the bearings where you put the grease. Just so they weren't dry on first spin out on the road until the Rear end sends the fluid fully down the axle tubes.
With those type of floating bearings I fill the rear end, put the truck down then tilt the truck one way for 15 mins then switch so oil runs to the bearings
Woo hoo! A new video on my birthday! Thanks, Ray!
Happy Birthday 🎂
Happy Birthday 🎂
happy birthday
oops, i forgot the cake, LOL
Happy Birthday. Actually since the courts decided we are alive at conception we should all now be 9 months older! So your conception date would be November 11! I mean if they want it to make sense right! So today would be, HAPPY COMING OUT OF THE WOMB DAY. Ha, I mean the courts screwed it all up!
My first thought when you were saying "the dip" was that scene from who framed Roger Rabbit.
The DIP from Rodger Rabbit!😂😂😂
Ray did the RR skit in an earlier video and got a very confused audience in the shop who was wondering if he had finally gone properly mad.
Always so fascinating how things are engineered. Never saw all the parts in a rear end before. Truly an amazing piece of work. Thanks for making it interesting as well.
Hello to all. I learn new things from every video. Ray is a great teacher. If he wants to, he would make a great auto mechanic teacher.
I enjoy watching your video's. It's an education.
Ray's shop is full the yard is full! Sounds like the word has gotten around that there is an honest hard working mechanic in town!
Neglect. I changed my rearend oil and put a bottle of the GM rearend conditioner pretty often
Great job Ray!!! You'll like this, this past Monday, I got 6 new fuel injectors some one switched 1 of the injectors!!
Ray you are very good.
Welcoming back!
Great video series on the truck. Very informative. Thank you sir!
88th! Happy it’s almost getting closer to the weekend Thursday Ray,Lauren,Dave,and the newest employee Justin? Another very informative video. As always. Roger in Pierre South Dakota
Congrats on super video, plus the relief of excellent 😊results can be heard in your voice. Super professional
Something an old machinist told me to help when putting your race back in is to stick it in the freezer. It causes the metal to draw up and makes installation a lot easier
Nice job as always! Even with all the issues with new / used parts from the parts warehouse.
2 months to fix a Ford rearend! That was fast compared to a lot of places. Great job Ray!
You do a good job on everything you do
What's up Ray love your videos I learn alot from watching your videos I like when u throw the brake cleaner I NEED ANOTHER LOL keep doing that u make my day lol
Timken bearings are no guarantee of quality. Some years ago I replaced the front hub assemblies in my 1993 Dakota and spent the extra money on Timken bearings.
In less than a week they became sloppy. Auto Zone refunded the difference between the cost and the price of the generic replacement they had in stock. The Timkens, which I expected to be made in America, were imported from Italy.
but,assimbled with american parts.
nice job sure owner will be happy , good looking and yay it is done.
Great job Ray!! Love the before and after!
If you have a hot plate you could just warm the Bering up a couple 100 degrees it would just slide in place
Which of the bearings are you talking about? I can't remember any bearing being pressed in place that would have worked better if heated. It could have worked if he heated the entire differential but that seems a bit much. The bearings pressed in place was pressed inside the differential so heating them would have made them larger and harder to get in place. Cooling them on the other hand might have worked as they would become smaller fitting easier in the cavities in the differential. Still with the press and the socket there were not really much reason in doing either. Now the bearings for the wheel axles might have been easier to slide in if they were cooled to something like forty below. but handling things that cold can be a bit tricky and as they seemed to be rather easy to pound into place I don't think it would have made things that much easier. Heating the axle to make the hole for the bearings larger would also have worked, but I'm not certain how much easier inserting the bearings would have been. I've seen similar things done but it was used as a last resort in most cases. The effort and problems handling hot or very cold items was often not worth it.
As a UA-cam certified mechanic I would say you did a great job. 😂🤣 Another informative video, thanks for sharing it with us.
Like always you did a great job Ray
I would so like to work for you.....the way you work and talk about what you are doing is great. I have learned so much and saved a ton of money on repairs because of your videos. Thanks!!
Good to see this job is done! Thanks ray! Sounds great!
Putting the carrier in is the reason Chevrolet put the hole on each side of the pumpkin to spread it apart to make it easier. It’s a little high but if it doesn’t wine it’s good to go.
I was afraid there might be a curse since you missed your "Brake Clean" intro. But I think you saved it.
And the can deleted itself by rolling under the tool chest
Thats a repair I've always wondered about. 🎉
Way above my intellectual capacity. I tried my best. Have no idea what is going on, but it was entertaining.
The shout out to brenden was cool , he’s a cool dude ive learned alot from both of you guys
A quiet rear end is always important!! Thanks Ray Man
Really enjoyed this one
Ray, I would have put the ring gear and sensor ring on before the bearings to protect them. Also grease works just fine on checking the mesh...
Watching and learning. I almost purchased a press to change an axle bearing on my old Jeep, but wound up paying a local mechanic to do it in his shop, However if that model works for you (I can afford that much) then I may wind up with one.
You make putting differentials together look really easy
Love the kids cheering section!
Hi RAY how is the new guy working out, good to see him and dave working together 😅
New Guy?
I never understood how a limited slip diff worked before so even though I don't work on cars it was great how you explained how they work.
You aren’t supposed to. It’s like the secret hand shakes for the Masons.
@@yelyab1 same with auto transmission. fuckin black magic
There's a bunch of cool animations on UA-cam showing all kinds of mechanical stuff. It's super interesting!
if you ever replace the jack on your press get a air over hydronic jack they are a lot faster to work.
With you being in Florida I am not surprised you are not using the Citrus based parts cleaner.
There are axle case spreader to enable shims to be installed and removed easily.
It’s alive!
Been waiting for this video for a long time Ray... Fantastic!!!!
Thanks for this one, Ray. I enjoyed it because I am least experienced in this area, having only dealt with one noisy differential and that was just a wrecking yard replacement.
Ray is going to do it again. You are so great. Thanks mate!
A two-bit parts thief turned a 4-day job into a 4-week job. I'm so old I remember the days before plastic dead-blow mallets. It was wood block and hammer time. I thought I had gone to heaven when Happy Snappy, AKA Charlie Daniels, the Snap-On man, showed me a shot-filled dead blow mallet.
Lead head hammers. There was a mold and you could recast a new head on the handle when it was too chewed up.
Thanks ray I believe I might have learned something 😅
I gotta believe your old employer is asking himself, "what the f were we thinking?"
cousin built a cobra kit car with ford 427..... I never rode in it, but they are a handful with big power....!
I really like the diff work. So good to be able to see each step
