Conflict is inevitable but it's unfortunately rare to see folks discuss their differences and make a professional resolution. Good on you and DL!
Thanks for the update on Diesel Logic. It speaks volumes, 1) they (or a team member) watches you. 2) they reached out to you. 3) you were able to have a conversation with them, set the record straight, and then share that with us all. I'm looking forward to your (our) site visit to their facility.
1 is most likely not the case. Someone probably brought this to their attention.
@@ImSoNotSleepy if you get to the picnic in a van or on a bike does it matter? You're at the picnic
It is refreshing to see people work out their differences to a positive outcome for both these days. I too am looking forward to the field trip. Excellent Ray!
@@jayc4283of course it matters! If it start raining while you are at the picnic, wouldn't you be glad you had the van, instead of the bike 😂?
Or he could have been served for slander.
Once again. You proved to all your sincerity and straight forward honesty both personally and professionally. You stand proud!!!
Making a mistake, rectifying it, owning up to said mistake, and feeling genuinely bad about making that mistake because it put someone else in a bad spotlight,
makes you a very decent person Ray.
We need about 6 billion people to follow your example in good manners.
You have my respect, Ray.
Not a mistake, go read the reviews on the company
that apology was why we love you Ray! no sugarcoating and a valuable life lesson. honestly is always the best policy!
The fact that you can be called out and be able to be involved with a product manufacturer just shows just how far reaching your videos are! That alone is a compliment, but it also says alot about Diesel Logic . What works and improvements to those products just make for a better product for the end user.
I have rebuilt a few of those units and there are some steps that many want to skip but, I can tell you they can make a real big difference in engine performance. When a manufacturer takes the time, effort and cost to put out a TSB they are important!!
Keep up the good work Ray!
Good Stuff Ray, and good on Diesel Logic for wanting to make things right. Stuff happens, but it's how it's handled and it seems like they care and want to do right the same as you would do. I look forward to seeing more on this!
I think that woman called sue ( as in we'll sue you if you don't retract your statements ) came out of the woodwork and whispered in his ear.
@@systemsrenegade9888 Can't sue over an opinion based on an actual experience. He wasn't bad mouthing the company without cause to do damage. He was going based on experience of others having issues with these injectors, with this truck that has a failure of these injectors, and the company themselves even admitted to Ray that they have taken steps to remedy issues with these injectors as well. What they are trying to do is damage control because they want the public to know they are trying to turn it around or they wouldn't have invited Ray to see their facility etc. Stuff happens, it's how a company handles it!
Reply when you are a somebody then yes you can sue a ham sandwich @@CedroCron
@@herbtender910 Try speaking english.
@@systemsrenegade9888 That's what I thought also.
G’day Ray, I’d really like to see you doing a tour of that injector company as it would give a good insight to what goes into manufacturing a small but intricate part that can cause lots of different issues with a diesel engine. It would be great if you could take the old injectors to put on their flow bench if possible. Avid watcher from down under.
Yes, seeing the old ones, and how they spray, and just the difference after they have been remade would be great.
I love that idea! That would be awesome to see.
One reason why I like this channel is his honesty, thanks Ray
It takes a special kind of person to have the narrative that you had in the beginning of this video. Being able to learn as we go. Great videos put out by you.
Ray, have been waiting for this episode. The first one was an adventure, as I see it. Yesterday, you were concerned with the length of your videos. For sure, you really shouldn’t be too concerned about that. The jobs you record are relevant repairs and the technical approach you apply is, at once, an inspiration. If the job requires a specific amount of video, let her rip. That’s what makes you all the more unique.
Good work by Diesel Logic reaching out without going into a full blown retaliation game. I'd use them if I had both a diesel and something they provide parts for just on the strength of that 'let's see what's going on, and get it sorted positively' attitude. That's the way to do business 👍(Also I'm in the UK so they may not service the market).
Good to see Ray owning the mistake of repeating second hand reviews too.
All round sounds like a great outcome from a scenario that too often turns into a bitter back and forth.
The field trip to DLI will be fun...don't be bashful about making it a long video...knowledge is priceless. It would be interesting to see the differences made by them in that particular injector when you visit them. Maybe take an example if possible..seeing the differences side by side is always a great thing to aid in learning.
As for the rebuild...it is looking good and the owner will be happy with the results after he gets it back.
You and yours are all aces with me Ray🙂
I'll bet that "DLI" means something different to more than a few around here but I'll watch a video of Ray at either... Or both, that would work too.
Idea for title: "Can you teach a (not yet) old mechanic a new language?"
But I'm not sure DoD would go for it.
Good for you brother!! That’s why I love watching your videos as well as Arod’s, I found him first and then you back when you were working at the last shop, maybe 8mos prior to you leaving and starting your own business, which has straight blown up-congrats, you do great mechanican, but because you’re honest and have integrity, which sadly, most people these days don’t even know what that word means let alone have any of it. Prayin for you and yours to continue to keep doing great things. Love the videos and keep them comin brother!! Take care!
God bless~
In my first career, the US military, a wise Senior NCO once said it was prudent to carry a shoehorn in our back pockets. We might never know when we might to remove our foot from our mouths. Rainman Ray admitted to his assumptions on those injectors. Now the blessing for him and us, will be the touring of the factory/shop in Jacksonville, FL.👏🏼👏🏼
I watched this video with my 4 year old at about 11pm, cause she was suddenly afraid of the dark.
I'm pretty excited she likes watching you wrench with me.
I know you keep your kids off the channel, but curious your reaction to your daughter demonstrating aptitude to your craft.
Regardless, thanks for giving me something with which I can spend time bonding with my daughter
I don't see Ray talking bad about anything without considerable thought. What I see is Ray talking with experience on the subject. So, it's a very good move from Diesel Logic to reach out and try to talk, instead of going for legal battle in the court of law like so many "big companies" do. Who knows, maybe Ray can come up with some idea and help improve the design and overall performance of the parts. Also, a visit to the manufacturing plant would be great to watch, knowing all that is involved with the production of said parts.
It would be a tough case legally, talking of reviews online, which will still exist. Not a concern.
I don't have a diesel, probably never will, but watched this whole episode to enhance my knowledge base. (And my tolerance for patience). Looking forward to the DL tour too.
I do not think most people know how accurate you must be with torque values on tightening with diesel engines . Running they sound like they are going to fall apart , but they operate by having tight clearances . Great video . Stay safe , have fun .
All engines require specific tolerances otherwise they won't run correctly, not just diesels...
@@shadowopsairman1583 ¡Seguro!
Pero en un motor Diésel rápido todo es más preciso, elaborado, ajustado... y caro, sin mencionar las enormes presiones y esfuerzos a los que están sometidos al funcionar a altas cargas. Y ni hablar de las velocidades de giro (RPM) altas, por las que NO destacan por no ser diseñados para ellas. Son más lentos, precisos, potentes y eficientes, no necesitan tanto mantenimiento pero son muy sensibles al mal trato y la Calidad de los elementos utilizados en él, o en las reparaciones.
Quien no entienda o acepte todo ésto, mejor se compre un vehículo con motor a gasolina.
And this is why you are who you are. Your disclaimer showed your humility and the fact that you are one of the most honorable mechanics there is. You were obviously raised with morals and ethics and have no problems with admitting a mistake. I myself didn't even think about what you said till now, and it show me the kind of man you are. I hope this shows others the same. And if I lived in Florida and needed a mechanic I wouldn't hesitate to see you. You and the Wife Unit, lol, obviously know how to do things right and it's wonderful to see.
Diesel Logic is smart. You have over 1/2 million subscribers & tons of viewers. It's in their best interest to put their best foot forward by reaching out to you
I've learned to ignore negative reviews as it is usually only those that like complaining that bother writing reviews. It's rare to read genuine positive reviews online. Calling out another business without actually any dealings with them is a good way to get sued for slander.
I work nights and was about to go to bed but now gonna watch the whole video. Ugh you always do this to me !
Ray I know each job is different and I do watch your videos everyday you make it look so easy. I now feel like I have the courage to attempt my own repairs on my own vehicles after all it is just nuts and bolts thanks for everything you, Lauren, and Dave do you guys and gal are awesome and keep up the awesome work.
Very cool handling of the situation with Diesel Logic. ANY (every?) company can/will experience product issues. It is how they address the issues that shows a company's metal. I really hope you make that trip to their facility and look forward to that video!
I appreciate Diesel Logic's approach here, shows they care.
I do not consider myself an injector expert but I have spent a number of years working exclusively on Duramaxs. I've diagnosed and replaced a lot of bad injectors.
Again, not an expert, but my understanding is that lb7 injectors have an internal design that makes it difficult to properly remanufacture.
Maybe things have changed, but in the past many if not most aftermarket injector rebuilders have struggled to turn out a good lb7 injector. Because of this I used to exclusively buy the actual Bosch remans from the original manufacturer of the lb7 injector.
This doesn't mean the injector remanufacturers aren't good at their job it just means that this particular injector is an especially difficult one to get right.
The biggest problem with lb7 is the fuel cap where the injector sits, and you have to take everything off to get to them, nothing wrong with the injector alone, just the design of where it was put and the sleeves they were installed into( sleeves aka cups)
Hello Ray from Australia🙃
Good job and a little tip to keeping that top rocker cover in line is to make two temporary studs to lower it on to, bolts with the heads cut off or I've even used bits of wooden dowel to do it.
Fit the cover and take them out when you have some bolts in it..
Made plenty of those, cut the head off then either cut a slot, or grind into a square or triangle, that a 12 point socket will fit on. Especially on cylinder heads, long stud made from old stretch bolt works wonders to get alignment, you put the studs in the holes the dowel pins use, and it make putting on a breeze, and ensures it is right.
I screamed “CAPS!!!” as you were putting the cover on, you didn’t even hear me. LOL !
Happy Thursday Ray. Install Rocket Surgery level 66.7.
Diesel Logic listens out for their products, great company. They reached out, even more awesome. Look forward to your video after your visit with them.
Good morning Ray. A little late but happy new year! This episode is part of the reason why I love this channel. We got to see a negative turn into a positive and have an opportunity to learn. I think the outcome between you and diesel logic could not have gone better. I always look forward to your videos, Ray. A great amount of people can learn more than mechanical situations here. Thanks
Diesel Logic reaching out to you shows how important you are to the community. Pretty cool.
It shows how much unwarranted slander can affect business.
You are a professional version of TKs garage calling out a business. You got a response from Diesel Logic like he got a response from Mac Haik Dodge. Ray you really have pull now to get people to notice and respond with concerns and not ignore you.
As a Canadian,besides the normal auto content,i enjoy the weather updates,thanks.
Your sense of honesty and fair play will only add to the success of your business.
The first timje I've carefully watched a diesel rebuild. Fascinating.
Very much enjoyed this video, especially of turning a negative into a positive where everyone is happy and being an awesome human being. Always learn something new when watching the different videos. Awesome job by the way!
that's a hell of a good idea
I was yelling but you couldn't hear me yelling take off the covers on the injection inlet. My wife unit was laughing at us when you discovered you mistake. Wives seem to enjoy our mistakes with glee!
Good for Diesel Logic to open their doors and show everyone how they do their rebuilds. I look forward to seeing how they do things and giving them a chance to show how they have improved
Yes a nice Long video🎉🎉 When i watch the short videos from Ray I feel like yelling Hay where is the rest of the video??? What can I say, I enjoy learning from Ray plus the entertainment.
you are right about the weather. people lose their minds. i moved from the snowy midwest where we had snowpocalypse and people cleaning out the stores before a minor storm to the great state of SC where when a rainstorm comes they close the county down lol.
Good to see the detail of what's involved there. A positive impression of Diesel Logic was left as a firm that cares; I think we have to remember when we google things and read/listen to comments they're mostly personal opinions.
Hey Ray, when I replaced my injectors in my LB7 I used a popsicle stick to remove the RTV in the groove of the top cover. It did a great job and the wood prevented scratching the metal.
And you get a popsicle!
I'm truly impressed with DL, I'll never use there product again! Tried twice, yes it was years ago but twice bitten always shy. S&S is always the best.
had you not said what you did that company would not havr been able to put the record straight and enable you and all of us to what the company is all about and how they have improved. you have also given me the confidence to change the glow plugs on my nissan qashqui
I hope the weather/wind storm is kind to you, your business & home. Thanks for this video on reassembly of the injectors & all the related parts. Very educational. I probably will never work on one but I do appreciate the efforts you put into your work, the degree of skill,, and of course the recording/commentary of all of it.
All of us in Canada Ontario, we got tons of snow and some winds
Oh yes take the field trip to Jacksonville and film that facility 😎👍👍
Yay !! a factory tour with Ray.....
Doesn't anyone use a parts washer station anymore? I guess I'm "OLD SCHOOL!" And I bought a used commercial (restaurant) dishwasher, to wash the parts clean of all the dirt.
It is VERY evident that you are aware of being critically observed in this build. Your focus on process, exacting step by step explanation, excruciating attention to detail, shows you as a previously factory trained mechanic "doing a video for an in service" mode in this episode. Way to go Ray, blow those Diesel Logic corporate minds! Great video. Love your riffs and your opinions on cars and parts and the world in general. They are in alignment with a LOT of other people. Way to go Professor Ray, way to go.
Even though there are nearly 200 comments, those shadetree mechanics who are watching and reading with the notion of doing an injector replacement on their own unit, may I offer a bit of added commentary. I took about 30 hours to replace mine on an '02. I was ultimately successful, but.... I removed the front wheels and lowered the front end to make things more accessible. The rear valve cover fasteners were really tough. I just had to be patient. And, lastly, I didn't have the feed lines torqued down enough when I finally went to start the unit. It took several tries and re-torques to ultimately get every thing to stop leaking. Advice: if you have the funds, take to Ray!!! If not, it's doable, but be ready for a long process.
I was soo shouting - THE CAPS are still on the injectors - but you got it
Thank you for being an example to all of us showing how things can be handled without animosity. And it usually gets you further in life than getting angry or being a dick about it
I like your videos no matter what length they are. I have learned a lot from these videos and I just enjoy watching your joy in doing your job. Will I ever put a wrench to my own vehicle? NO. But I now have a better understanding of what my mechanic is trying to tell me. And, I have seen more respect from him (or sometimes her) when I am able to speak his/her language.
I'm just shy like that & I don't walk with a swagger. I'll walk straight down the hall & kiss her on the lips...
So kewl,,, A field trip with Ray watching him dance with some of the Diesel Logic boys/and/or/girls,,, :-)
Left plastic caps on, D'Oh!
Lesson Learned,: Use actual written check list to avoid leaving plastic caps on and forgetting other importatn things.
Lesson Learned: Use painters tape and sharpie to label order of fuel rail installation.
Ok ! You sold me. Just ordered a cup.🎉
Thank you!!!!! 😊
Ray great video...!!! Looking forward on that field trip video!
It’s nice to do something different every now and then
Unless there are some other circumstances it seems like 8 years should not cause fuel injectors to fail. I have two vehicles, one 18 years old and the other 14 years old, both with the original injectors and both run well.... That said it would be interesting to hear what Diesel Logic has to say about the bad injectors once they have an opportunity to do their own autopsy.
I am from Egypt The Land of Pharoh's you are a good person. May all your dreams come true.
I can always respect a man when he can admit a mistake,keep up the great work.
Thanks Ray for all you attention to detail. It’s a practice that a lot of people don’t possess anymore. Kuddos to you🇺🇸✌️
An honest person can always admit when they might be wrong and have an unbiased conversation to resolve an argument or point of view comment.
The fact that Dieselogic were prepared to reach out to you to ask why you gave a negative opinion of their product just goes to show that customer satisfaction and product development is important to them.
It also shows that you are always prepared to learn something new.
I look forward to seeing the tour video like you did with Blanks products.
Keep up the high moral standards.
That was no pocket screwdriver being used to get the sealant out of the groove on the upper valve cover…
That was a custom fabricated Hyundai window-switch removal tool…
I have never seen so many clicks on one vehicle👍 Awesome
I saw the upside-down clamp going in but you can't hear me over the shop noise. I love being a keyboard warrior! Beats bending wrenches this time of year in the north.
I was screaming at my poor phone THE CAPS, THE CAPS, THE CAPS 😂😂😂😂 Like you could hear me
When they first came out I had 1 that on a cold start it had a puff of white smoke when engine was warm they didn't do that. Come to fine out the injector sleeve was leaking small amount of coolant at the sealing surface at the bottom of sleeve where it meets the head so Gm had me pull the sleeve and put new seal and put a small amount of locktite on the bottom of sleeve at that time they didnt have a tool to pull them in the field so I made one from 2 bolts welded together anywho they wanted to see it and they made one from my design. They didn't even give me a thank you or anything made me mad lol.
Can’t say I agree with not install new injector hold down bolts, seen them break and send the injector out through the valve cover. Granted it wasn’t on an automotive diesel engine it was on a 3512 Cat haul truck engine. But just my opinion, love the vids keep them coming.
That’s a great result for all parties thanks for your content look forward to the Diesel Logic tour.
Lol Ray's gift of gab finally got him in some hot water, lol I knew it was only a matter of time haha ! Glad you guys got it worked out and I'm looking forward to the tour !
Your truck is now a “DPV” a Disaster Prepared Vehicle”. As usual well done Sir!! 👍
You're a man of honour, if you're wrong you admit it, that's admirable.
I love your videos, quality work 💪
Looking forward to hearing it start up Ray
Another great video. Good job resolving the Diesel Logic issue, looking forward to seeing their operation.
Good to know that they fessed up.
A clear sign that you are a man is admitting that your wife is always right. A clear sign that you are an honest and intelligent person is looking at all sides of a situation, admitting that you don't always get things right the first time and giving a listen to all sides and in the end, agreeing to whatever your wife thinks.
You're a good guy, Ray and that's one of many reasons I trust you.
Need to make stickers or plaque with "Crossthreading is natures locktite!". Love it!
I love your long videos, thanks so much. Others might not like them but that’s too bad, they can press save and watch it later if they want, thanks Ray.
Gotta say fella,I love working on cars (I'm a scoobie (subaru) guy myself) and watching you do repairs on any vehicle is great,and how you keep your cool is even more exceptional,keep going fella,your doing the mechanics proud,an honest and proud mechanic is a rarity and your one of them
Love your videos! One thing that came to mind with your always awesome, by now almost trademarked, use of brake cleaner is that perhaps you should consider using some PPE. Those aerosolised hydrocarbons probably are not the healthiest stuff... Keep up the good work!
I love the thumbnail of the lb7 torn apart with the 7.3L HUEI injector. Watching this video makes me miss doing these gravy injector jobs. Keep up the amazing content
Nice to see a mechanic taking the time to do it right!! Nice work Ray!!
Prayers for you and your family, in the coming storms.
Good for that company. And good for you for being humble and coming clean, if you will.
I admire people who are big enough to turn a negative into a positive. Bravo to you Ray, and also, Bravo to Diesel Logic!
I think its pretty cool that Diesel logic got in touch with you to set the record straight and want to work together with you.
Those Dremel tools are great! I've used mine to cut partway through a radiator hose so I could pull it off the radiator, and I've used the Dremel to cut through the hard plastic cases the Mint ships proof coins in, and I've used it to cut through a pipe that I needed to replace in my shower.
Where is part 5? Looking forward to it. Thanks, Ray.
My biggest worry was always cross threading good job taking your time and doing it correctly
Thank God for fast forward.
Turning a sour opinion into potential future business ventures.... Nicely handled
As much as I love my pneumatic and power tools because of their efficiency & time saving abilities. I do have to say that nothing beats a dremel/rotary tool. Simply because of the abundant fittings that can do almost everything with a simple change of heads. Automotive tools have come so far it really is amazing. What used to take a day, is now just a couple of hours.
Many thanks Ray for showcasing every nook and cranny aspects to do it all right. Passing on your magical tips and tricks has shown and given more confidence to this old dog. =D
Ray you had your place to say what you thought of DL I understand as a business owner you have to do what's in the best interest of your Company. But that doesn't change the fact I know several duramax owners that HAD SEVERAL ISSUES with the DL injectors and swore to never use them again. In the end they went with the S&S and were happy with the product I felt bad that you had to go back and kinda retract your previous statements which are on par with those I know that had real issues with the DL injectors. But you did work things out your a honest mechanic and trustworthy is the reason why you did what you did. Long time viewer and monthy supporter of your channel Ray Lauren and family be safe and have a great day. Holla from Morgan County Alabama!!!!
You're doing a great job on this project keep up the great work
Was looking forward to this one 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇬🇧
Sweet, road trip! Glad to hear that Diesel Logic reached out to you and you were willing to own up to what you said and willing to make things right.
If you are unsure if a bolt is torque to yield, take the number on the head of the bolt and google it. You should get all the torque specs for it including the yield point. So if the specs from the auto manufacture is below the yield point for that bolt, then its good to use again.
Ray, the O-ring seal on the injector that you remembered to lube before installing isn't to prevent "water intrusion " but rather to keep oil from draining down past the seal and also to keep diesel from migrating up into the oil above the seal in the event you have a partial crush seal failure. Enjoyed the video 👍
Talked things out that's good. People are so unwilling to do that today! Your an honest guy on yop of that!👍
