Good morning we moved to Florida I’m looking for a new mechanic can you guys work on a 2016 Buick enclave premium
I have noticed the fender brace has been removed from the right side to install a 2nd battery. Does that work out alright?
31:30
Thats the first time i have seen the like button light up when you speak the words, like button. YT new feature?
Truck is in excellent shape. Hats off to the owner and mechanic who did the work.
You do good work Ray. Not all of us are haters and trolls. I appreciate your videos.
I agree. I've been watching Ray's work for over a year now and I would trust him to work on my vehicles any day.
Totally agree... There are unfortunately haters everywhere you go these days all the more so on social media but I suspect that the majority genuinely appreciate the work Ray and Lauren do and the videos that they are kind enough to share with us.
You're just a shaft riding sycophant.
Ray, I had the same experience with the child safety lock. I had never had a car with that feature but when I was going nuts thinking I would have to tear the panel off, my nephew (known for mischief) said "What about the kid lock?". Voila, it was fixed. Real wakeup call for an older adult driver. 🥴 Addendum: The mischievous nephew was the one who set the lock. 😡
My adult daughter couldn't open the rear door from the inside one Christmas Eve, 2005 Yukon. Early Christmas morning I investigated, took off the door panel, then noticed what looked like a diagram of a spaceman. Turns out that it was a child safety lock icon, had no idea vehicles had such lock.
And you give the nephew a whoopin for messing with the vehicle
@@thecuss6817 "RtFM."
Ray, set his clocks back so far on Sunday that Troy reappeared! 😉
He's not in jail, is he? Or 'gator poop?
@@wesgregg6451 Troy left Ray's employment to pursue other ventures.
@@MrGrumpy1 Okay, thanks.
Handy tip, you can use the dipstick in the fill tube when you pour in the new oil and the oil will go down the dip stick so you don't spill it.
Ray as you know I LOVE your channel, bud. One of those reasons is because when you make a silly move like forgetting to check the child lock you show us BUT you don't let it ruin your day, you take it with a good sense of humour and we all learn from it.
Oil should never be judged by the fingerprint method.
Only by taste and aroma.
Yes, aroma can tell you a lot as well as color. I know solid black, rather than brown, oil, even if still properly viscous, indicates a well past due change. As does a burnt smell. Never heard of the fingerprint method.
Aroma presumes that the mechanic has a sense of smell... I do not!!
I admit, I'm fascinated by the idea of a taste method...
@@minotaurbison Perhaps you're intended to try cooking with it to get the full flavor?
Careful, McD will sue for stealing their recipes.
The penny drop moment with the child safety lock made me smile. We've all done something like that!
This is what I love about your videos Ray, you leave in your mistakes.
3:35 it happened to my sister in law. She got across town before her engine was knock, knock, knocking on heaven's door. The lube shop tried to ignore her claim. Lol The local Judge ordered the lube shop to pay another shop to install a new engine in her Chevy Cavalier. They put a newer Cobalt engine in there. When you go to buy an oil filter for a 1998 Cavalier it doesn't fit. Lol That lube shop changed owners shortly after from Tweaker Automotive Disrepair. Haha
This happened to me on my Cavalier when I changed the oil. Next day I drove the car to work, and to lumch. Upon crank up at the cafe the filter blew off. and I immediately shut it off. Found that the parts place gave me the wrong filter. Close call to disastedr LOL
Nice to see someone who's taken care of his vehicle.
I enjoy watching so much that I didn't even realize that you had tricked me into watching another oil change video until 15:30!
This is the last of the GM trucks I would personally own, and be happy with. It is awesome when I see these in great shape.
Glad your shop is doing so well that you now have another employee
It was good to see that mint Suburban back in for a basic service Ray, the owner should be congratulated on it's condition and TLC he has shown it. Ok so child locks can beat the best we all know now.
Keep Safe Keep Strong 🦘🦘🦘🦘❤❤❤❤
Truely one of the best looking 04 Suburbans in the states.
I doubt that
Love that you put a notification at the bottom of the video very early in and people are asking if Troy is back..... You can trick me into watching an oil change video anytime, Ill still enjoy it cause you're doing it 👊
All of the fancy oil filter wrenches in your collection and you go for old reliable, that is my favorite tool as well. And the owner of the Mustang is saying “Yes it still spins the tires” I wait to see if people who service my 2013 VW bug with a 2.0 T. 200 horse engine spin the tires by mistake thinking it is just a wimpy vw. My wife unit used to spin the tires every morning when she left the house when she was working from the office. And she wants an old mustang for me to modify. I’m still having to much fun with her bug!
Customer Matt’s laughter what spot on, knowing he had also missed the child safety lock!
Great looking Suburban, love that color. I agree when they are kept up on maintenance and appearance they will taking care of a lot longer.
Sorry to see Troy has left your business. I was looking forward to seeing more of his progression. Best of luck to him.
I thought the same. Hope he came back and STAYS. Lauren looks pretty as always.❤
@@charleskadletc2431this is an old video from before Ray ripped the carpet, insulation and dash out of his Silverado ..... Troy left and has not come back....
Troy has been gone a month or more already. He didn’t come back.
Ya, I was going to ask awhile back why we never see Troy anymore. But I never get any answers to my questions on here, so I didn't bother.
@@marymulrooney1334
Ray told us in one of his videos that Troy had moved on within a day or two of it happening.
WOW! THE Delorian time machine does work😂. Even rookie mistakes 😮
Its good to have a video from Ray to watch!
Watched a video where the mechanic used a shop vac on the fill pipe to create a vacuum in crankcase so no oil would drip or splash while removing drain plug .
I ordered a stahlbus drain valve for my truck, and it was delayed in shipping. Of course it arrived an hour after i did an oil change. I had seen a similar video and had an idea, got a helper to hold the vacuum for a minute and i changed from a plug to the valve and lost not a drop off oil. It's a good trick
@@legionofanonyes, it is and works on nearly all cars.
Glad you enjoyed your break and glad your back to make more videos, thanks for that video
I'm impressed how clean the underside is.
When you did the underside inspection I remembered it from your previous job where you put those Z71 rear springs in. Indeed a well maintained Suburban. Glad he followed you to the new shop. I got a chuckle when you discovered the reason the rear door was inoperable was the child lockout feature!
I am glad to see Troy and awesome video Ray thank you
You have done well for yourself with having two people in the shop working for you and your family
"Why won't I read?" I can appreciate the South Park reference of the CentiPad episode.
Need to put a floor scrubber pad in your oil drain tray, might help with splash back
like them rubber things that are put in urinals.
@@felderup
No, like a big scotchbrite pad for a floor buffing machine. Oil would bounce off a rubber urinal pad the same as it does the plastic tray he’s using now. That would help in not losing the drain plug gaskets down the caddy drain too.
Thin layer of loose foam works quite well.
Welcome back Ray!! And yes I am very happy to be here!!!
Great to have you back, hope your trip to Sema was fun!
I was thinking the whole time you should check to see if the Child Safety Lock was set😂
Yeah, you’d be surprised (or maybe not!😅) how often that gets us! As mechanics, we’re problem solvers, so something that simple, that we would normally check on our own personal vehicles….. Well, we just sort of assumed that someone would’ve checked that before they actually brought it in for service.
Those Mercury Grand Marquis are awesome feats of engineering!
You mentioned not following diagnostics procedures. I caught a video yesterday.
A guy had a customer's car, they'd been for an oil change elsewhere and ended up with crank non start.
A quick check of the fuses, the oil change shop had pulled the fuse of the fuel injection and left it lying in the fuse box. Now that's sly.
I like the snarky videos . Yours go both ways as you catch yourself as much as you do others. Maintenance is the maintenance , got to be done. While in the service - I was probably out before you were born , they taught us mechanics their system . So many hours , so many uses , so much load , then check the system or do the maintenance . As I moved to aircraft that became more important . I don’t know if it was over done , I do know that we never had a vehicle or aircraft fail unless there was a fault in equipment . Stay safe , have fun .
Wifeunit with the hose reel, nailed it!
I always add a new quart of oil to the crank case after it’s drained. to push any remaining old oil out. You can see the remaining black oil come out of the pan through the drain hole.
Happy manic Monday Ray. A fine video to start the week.
You were right on Mr Ray it was indeed a good great interesting video .
I especially liked the repair non repair door handle part .
Child locks are annoying and only keep parents grandparents locked out .
An engineer friend of mine had a 1956 ford with a 312 cui engine that had not had the oil changed in over 100,000 miles! He did change the filter every 2000 miles and explained that oil doesnt break down, only the additives fail. He added an additive every 5000 miles, it was stp! That engine ran like a top and never used a drop of oil. He had a degree in petroleum engineering. The car had over 250,000 miles on it when he passed away. The oil outlasted the owner! Food for thought.
Glad to see your clean them door after your were done. Not many shops take care of customers vehicles like your do.
Welcome back ray and loren hope you guys had a good time at sema good to see Troy back
You realize this is a recently uploaded video that must have been filmed a while ago, right? His truck has it's the old carpet and only the headliner still on a table.
I enjoyed this oil change. and glad troy came back.
It is relaxing to watch someone do all I do to my JEEP
It’s throw back Monday! Semantic was awesome!
On the LIGHTER side... .someone has GOT TO get a CLIP of Laura reeling up that Air hose(ROFL hahahaha) NICE!
Did she forget (or have yet to learn) to keep a hand wrapped loosely around it? I saw a kid do that. I forget what was connected to it, air chuck, maybe, or a push-to-operate blower nozzle. Something light that allowed the end (and itself) to warp him on the side of his head. Which was the best sort of lesson - it didn't kill him, but he sure felt it.
thankyou Ray,,what a palava re the lock,,😂have a good weekend,👌👍
I’ve heard the oil on the finger thing and the reasoning behind it is that any microscopic particles suspended in the oil will latch on the the groove in your fingerprint and cause it to go sideways as opposed to clean oil that has no suspended particles will flow straight down.
I don’t follow this method for determining the life of my oil I actually try and change it early, but there’s the reasoning behind it and do with it as you wish!!
Welcome back!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great looking Suburban, love the paint color.
Oil following the fingerprint, is just like not prefilling filters 😊
Nice see Troy back 😂
Good morning Mr Ray hope y'all have a great day 😁
She's a beauty for sure! I've been looking for one for a few years now and no luck. Had one guy willing to sell me his, then played me around for a month. Needless to say he disappeared and I never was able to get it
Hope you had a great break
Good morning Ray 🌄 if Troy did come back well welcome back 🤗
Ahh Ray. I was watching going "Child lock, child lock..." LOL
You got there in the end though and we got to see the inside of the door for free.
Yes, we got a Ray repairs video!!!
The shop is looking solid..
It's nice to have a Sierra of the same year / engine as this with a little over 200k but having had a tiny fraction of the needs that this one apparently has exhibited. Except for water and fuel pumps and the usual servicing maintenance items like brakes and transmission filters, It's mostly original and has easily been the lowest total cost-per-mile half-ton that I have had yet. I am taking it on another 2,500-mile road trip this coming week.
Welcoming back!
This was a fun video to watch. Just means you can have fun in the shop! I try this any chance I get.
Ray, your shop looks well organized, clean and efficient. The definition of a "detailed" shop. Well done!
Yay back to ab normal watching with my coffee😎
I like using the 6qt box of havoline longlife oil on my Tahoe. Made my engine run better and have better oil pressure. Perfect for 6qt engines.
We have a 2005 with 148k best vehicle to date, runs and runs with basic maintenance.
Oh yeah! I love my Suburban. Those earlier 5.3’s were fantastic, and about as bulletproof as a stock V-8 can be. Once they started putting active fuel management and displacement on demand, and all that other crap, their dependability quickly went downhill.
I've never heard of that myth about oil life, but the old school test that I use is sight, smell and touch. Depending on the oil fresh would be yellow/gold and well spent would be almost black, that was nearing end of useful life but not all the way there. Next would be smell, does it smell burnt? Then touch, get some on your index finger, apply some light pressure with your thumb and see how it feels to rub them together - if it feels like it's catching or almost tacky then it's spent. Try it with a little fresh oil and some known bad oil to get a feel for it, it works but don't rely too much on the smell as some modern oil smells burnt right out the bottle lol
Your customer said "gravity" when the flashlight fell.
My Dad use to put oil between his finger and thumb and stick them together to see how sticky it was to see if viscosity was good. He did that mostly while checking the oil. If he didn`t like it he changed it before the Mileage oil change was do.
Thank you
the locked in car on passanger side is actually a chevy feature. For a man to be polite to his wife and open the door for her. :D Extra add on feature.
Gotta love that feeling of looking down and seeing the most obvious thing in the world just staring at you. Oh well, it happens. Enjoyed the video Ray!
Troy is back taught that's awesome
Nice to see Troy again
Heard about giving your old oil the finger many years ago. A lab tech at Veedol told me 'that's absolutely incorrect' (not the phrase he used but meant the same). He told to try it with new oil and I was surprised to find that some oils behave that way when new and some don't.
Nice to see you 🙂 😊
Well it’s good to see casta Troy again
I always mark the inside of tires before rotation with sidewalk chalk,never seem to get what you paid for anymore .Water cup from the cooler also makes a quick funnel in a pinch,mad pouring skills btw
"No snarky videos or comments"
Ray: Snark Cannon loaded and fuse lit... 🔫
I once forgot to put the oil cap back on after an oil change. Drove around the block and started a small engine fire. Oil spilled onto the exhaust manifold. Luckily only minor damage.
pouring things ROCKS
Hi Ray love watching your videos keep them coming , and for the oil myth, it to late if the oil is still good its already drained.
Dave is the man with the hardware hand 😂😂😂
Ray.. back in the day our child safety lock was dad telling us "don't mess with the door handles or you'll fall out.. and I'm not stopping to pick you up! " LOL!! At that time we had a 67 Tornaddo, with vinyl seats and sliding from one side of the backseat to the other.. LOL!!
Anyways.. I'm 55 and still like to spin the tires and do power slides.. Hee Hee! Another fun video Brother.. Thanks..
Damn that's a crisp truck right there
Fun video thanke ray!
that suburban's nice and clean
Use an awl to punch a hole in the bottom of the filter before removing to let the oil drain. It comes off much cleaner.
I was told if your eggs float in it wile cooking its still good, but if flames break out in the pan its past time to change it. But i like to push it and run it 3 more years.
Good morning from Higgins lake Michigan
Morning Ray!
My father was a janitorial supply salesman. Sprayway glass cleaner kept groceries on our table during my teenage years.
Happy to see Troy is back!, if he’s back lol!!
Good morning! I enjoyed the Sema videos a lot. You looked like a boy in a toy store. And I decided to look through all the comments… and I can’t believe some of the remarks people make. Why would you, as a viewer, not think that some videos would be made ahead of time in case of a lapse in recording new ones. The fact that Troy was gone and all of a sudden he’s back would have been a huge clue🥸 . Amount other clues it somewhat amazes me…. Making a video takes a tremendous about of time and patience. If Ray is holding the camera and using one hand to do repairs, we’ll… I got all I can do to use 2 hands. I enjoy the effort and humor of the videos. If you don’t like them, remember what God made, the “off” button. And the snarky comments….well enough said. Enjoy everyone ! Great work! Stay safe, Bill
Yes Ray, I have heard that tell tale story about the oil. I think that it was at 9:12 into this video.
Interesting demonstration and explanation. It makes sense that if the oil is newer and not full of crud, the oil would naturally take the path of least resistance ond follow or be diverted by the ridges of your fingerprint. Assuming you have fingerprints.
Nicely done video.
He should just do the same test with new oil and see if there is a difference.
Rainman you are a hoot!!!
We had a mechanic change the oil on a motor. He came to fill it up and he couldnt get it filled to the right level on the dip stick. Turned out he hadnt put the sump bung back in so new oil went into waste oil barrel.
Ray even before you started to to check the lock I said to myself check the child safety lock. I'm surprised the owner didn't know that. Anyway nice truck well maintained. Great job Ray.
