Morning Ray.
You left your socket on the core support!
Tip: If possible, try to gently clean out the condenser to remove dead bugs and dirt. It will help with AC and the radiator performance.
Yes looks like Ray missed something, the bugs in Condenser....
Pressure washer 😂
I was just going to mention that beat me to it😂
Love bugs are particularly good at plugging things up. We were on the way to Disney World and had to visit a quarter car wash to get the engine temperature to come down. Then I found a net, and problem solved.
I was going to say he missed cleaning condenser, light air, soft brush. Bugs and dust are gone.
Ray: "no coolant, only water."
5 seconds later
Also Ray: "I don't smell any coolant"
My husband mentioned this as soon as Ray said it, too. We both laughed at it. 😂
@@erikamattingly1425 my only reasoning for that was like "maybe they poured water after the coolant leaked out" but yeah, had a giggle, too
The jeep looks hilarious with the massive tires in the front and the baby tires in the rear at the end 😂😂 @Rainman Ray's Repairs
First time I've seen Ray refill coolant without replacing the Schrader valves.
Can’t believe you put that condenser back in without washing out the bugs when it was out
to big a hurry q.why dose he always stick his fingers in the lens
Thank you again for using the red mag trays I sent you as you see they do come in real handy😅
Alright!
Cool man, you are awesome!
Red mag tray sitting on a non magnetic engine cover. Perfect deployment.
Feel free to send some my way 😏
We missed you last 2 days but we are so happy to see you again
I saw him the last two days. Dud you miss his other videos?
The unhooked hood latch cable is just staring at me like 'DONT CLOSE IT, DONT CLOSE IT'
I was looking at that cable the whole video, makes me nervous. I hope he connected the cable before closing the hood.
Non Evolutionary!!! Nice easy job for a change
I was looking at the same thing.
I feel like he'd share with us if he indeed #@&ed it up.
45:38 it's reconnected.
Am I the only one that's learning so much from this guy??? He's so awesome!!
Nope ! I usually work on our Mini Coopers and Subaru Forester but I watch every day to learn something.
Ray and Eric O. (Sout Main Auto) are the best in the biz.
Don’t forget Pine Diagnostics and Ford Boss
@@mattbrown5511 --I still like Old Scotty Kilmer...
Yes I taught him everything he knows
Omg the wiping of the radiator cap to clean it when there is coolant literally everywhere 🤣 Always a great laugh watching Ray. The geyser of coolant made me fall over, as Ray covers it instantly regretting while trying to quickly decide how to recover
Even more of a fan after hearing Upchurch playing in the background. Nice repair.
"Error" describes any time I touch a car engine. Thanks for the details!
Should've just replaced the condenser as well or spend time straightening out all those bent over fins. I would suggest doing like the big commercial trucks and installing a metal mesh bug and rock screen in front of the condenser radiator assembly
My same thought, that condenser looked nasty
I like chuckles, your new guy! He's funny and cool, a good combo.
Rainman Ray and Eric O....the only two mechanics you need!
I wonder how many customers watch your channel an see their own cars being worked on, because some people may think they’re just being told a load of crap but watching your channel shows you say exactly what’s going on I would happily send my car to you for any repairs only problem is I don’t live in the USA 😂 I’m across the pond in the UK 🇬🇧 🤣
Looks like this is Rainman Ray's Repairs with comedic entertainment. BTW, I agree about cleaning the AC radiator too.
RayRay, the pressure tester MONEY SHOT...Priceless!
I am learning a bunch about what are fasteners as I learned when there were screws, bolts, nuts and screw clamps.
well done as always ray. the only thing that was staring me in the face was the dirty condenser. i think i would have cleaned it before putting it back together. otherwise, awesome job.
I noticed that,,does that change how efficent the system works
@@robertroberts9782 yes the dirt and bugs and bent fins all reduce efficiency...
Condensers are $80. for that car. Seeing it's terrible condition - replacing said unit should be suggested to owner without a doubt!
Only took me to the second comment before I found what I was looking for. lol!
I agree with that also, but you cant risk getting water into an ac condenser becuse freon (name brand) turns into an acid if its mixed with water, even worse if its mixed with antifreeze.
The machine shop i worked at had to rebuild boilers in big buildings the kind the chill tower sits on the roof, the reason they need to be rebuild is water and freon mixed and ate the copper pipes. Acid eats copper thats how you separate gold off copper componets if your mining gold off computer parts. Acid won't eat gold just the copper.
Now most of a cars ac system is aluminum ecpt the pumps internal parts. Acid also corodes aluminum i belive. Im not really sure.
New ac componets are shipped with plugs in the connection points to keep humidity out, the system can deal with some water moisture the vacume process and oils take care of that,
Now you might think air hose but you can bend the fins that will do as much or more dammage as the bugs. Better to leave it alone.
You really should clean that off when its a sealed system, but this persons not really good with Preventing problems becuse the coolent in the radiator much have been bad to make the plastic parts crumble. You cant expect somthing you dont take care of to last, but by the same token I dont flush mine very often either. Who does? I think its been 5 years sence I changed my oil, but the car hasn't moved over 1k miles in 5 years. I had to buy new tires not becuse they were woren out. Becuse they were dry rotting from age.
You make machanic work like fun, cuz your GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD at it
Still Loving it Ray. Your detail in camera and communication is second to none. One question? Did you remember to pick up your 13 mm socket off the top rad support?
Gotta love that hot air intake. Along with oil coated MAF sensor, it surely got 25HP increase.
You noticed that too...😆
Love the intro and outro! The Steel Toe poke was just a joke - I usually work in steel toed flip flops.
Loved the guizer of coolant.. that's one of my moves!
In am amazed at how the fans/rad/cond just clip together. I am surprised yuo did not replace the condenser as it looked pretty rough - lots of bent fins.
The customer has to approve such replacements first and maybe Ray forgot to explain that bit. ;-)
Did you grab the socket you left on the radiator support?
Im looking forward to some repair videos on the 2004 Corolla if one ever breaks down. 🤣
Love my “Baby Rose”.
Ray has helped me keep her running nice.
Had her 19 years. Looking forward to 19 more.
Yep they’re a great little car nothing much can or will go wrong! It’s a Toyota 😊
I enjoy watching you work on cars. Especially when it's not me lol. You make it look so easy. Odd, I always run into road blocks. Watching yours gives me more add in doing things easier.
Good call on that radiator hose witness marks. I’m young backyard mechanic and I’ve always done that for just how it looks. Nice to know I can now justify my reasoning.
'Reputation is everything...' with this attitude Ray, you will go far. Nice.
I would not have been able to remount the A/C condenser without at least trying to blow out the fins with compressed air----the blue blow nozzle was right there on the bench!
Love your channel and I've watched all your videos. The shop is great. My only point is that you don't clean like you use to. Not blowing the debris from the condenser, you're better than that. I know you can't do free repairs, etc of random stuff you see but blowing off that debris is 2 mins and not an extra repair. It's the right thing to do.
I learn so much from you.
Alot less concerned of spillage also
I agree he should have hit with a can of brakeclean! Really a few skeletons of dried out bugs won’t hurt cooling performance to much to worry about. Others have said it’s stuffed and time to replace but seriously if you start that argument it’s probably time for a new car, but for all we know it maybe a car owned by a student or granny who can’t afford to replace the unit. Stop being ridiculous you guys!!!!😖😖
Been binge watching you for 2 years, this is the first time I have seen you break out a pressure pump.
17: 53 Poppin z condenser.
Other guys: SO just replace the radiator.
Ray: Let me show you exactly what I am doing and position the camera where you all can see exactly what I am explaining.
This is what separates you from others and I love it.
Ray really enjoy watching your. Video very educational for people like me when other people about cars
Ray with the radiator money shot! 🤣🤣🤣 D'Oh!
Just a quick question, why not spray the bugs out of the ac condenser? Is it due to a possibility of a leak encounter?
I would have
I would have as well. Clogged condenser fins can also affect airflow through the radiator.
Was gonna post the same thing. I would feel obligated to try to blast those bugs out with some air at the very least. I guess you just have to draw a line in the sand at some point. Same reason he’s not vacuuming out the car, washing, and waxing it. I’d understand if I was working on my own car, but you could go down a rabbit hole real quick try to address all these little things.
The bugs bugged me too.
The vehicle is very old and it’s taken all those years to get those bugs trapped which have turned almost into dust by now which will hardly affect airflow. It would look better though 👍
THAT LOOKED TO BE A WELL CONCEIVED INSTALLATION AND THE MFG DID A NICE JOB TO MAKE IT EASY.
The dirty condensor and that unhooked hood latch had me 😂
Plastic radiators. Another ingenius innovation from the automotive industry.
Congratulations on pushing 500K+!
Nicely done Ray. I too would have blown out the condener fins from the back while it was out.
Hey Ray, great video as usual. I have one question, why wouldn’t you clean that condenser before putting it back on? It looks nasty……
Thanks
Look at your car, i bet its the same
@@BenState i bet it’s not……..
Don't we just love The Bitsaremissing.
Crunchybishi. 😆
You are an excellent mechanic sir.
We need the "Dooodely dooo" back Ray !
The self removing white paint that Mitsi and Toyota used in that era.
Other then waiting for a part all day pretty easy Radiator Job @Rainman Ray's Repairs
Gotta love the hot air intake
42:58 Hugh mess all over engine, wipes the small cap 😂
"Nice and Shiny", another great video thanks Ray.
Just a tip Ray, when removin g some of those pesky wiring loom clips, try using a selected piece of aluminium tube to
push the "claws" in, so as to be able to remove them, so much less likely to break the little buggers. Cheers From NZ
It looks like you lost another socket -- just before you closed the hood, it looked like you forgot to retrieve a (10mm?) socket above the passenger headlight.
I saw this also.
Same
Yeah same
And he forgot to put the hood release cable back on🤔
You do know he edits his video it's not a continuous 100% of what he does???
I'm surprised that you didn't check the oil initially.. but I suppose the pressure test would have shown it if the leak wasn't obvious. So now I know of a kit needed to be purchased in the future to help assist in finding coolant system leaks. Nicely done!
Ray .your "no worries" count is up today,you must be an honorary australian.good job,cheers.
I couldn't stop looking at that socket left on the slam panel.
Good morning Mr Ray hope y'all have a great day 😁
Ray did a great job, and went the extra mile. This video showed me that things can be overlooked by simply trying to replace a radiator, and he was prepared to evacuate the AC unit. Good Job Ray! You are a master mechanic in my book!
A master mechanic would have power washed the bugs off the AC condenser. This guy is just a parts replacer.
That condenser is just as good as it was when it came in. That wasn't the problem folks. It came in hot so to me, it tells me tĥis person needs their car yesterday. Been doing this for 27 years and i come home and watch rainman on youtube. The kid is amazing. However i would invest and use what i call hose picks. Clocking the spring clamps is vital between leak and no leak. Just my 2 cents.
I would have pulled the bumper. 2 screws on the corners and 4 to 8 more on the bottom. Can be done either way. Whatever you're comfortable with.
Due diligence is everything. Reputation is only an average of opinions.
I love the "hot air" intake system. It's drawing right from the engine compartment.
For a car it makes a great water feature 👍👍
Hi Ray. 'Start the engine' is 'den Motor starten'. Just so you know.😄 'Poppin-ing ze hood' is a mouthful! "die Motorhaube knallen"
ER, what happened to the guy who said he always fits new schrader valves whenever he services the AC when he was in his last job? He used to clean up his tools and work area too if I remember.
👏👏👏👏another great video Ray. When I replace my radiator I also replace upper & lower radiator hoses unless I’ve just replaced them. Ray some people call those vehicles SOB’s because that’s the words that are used while working on them
I hope you grabbed your #10 socket that was sitting on the left side of the upper radiator support. I hope you also have yourself a great day.

Did you ever reconnect the hood latch cable?
Spray some lubricant will help slide off Parts very easily ! And when I install hoses at has leaked prevention plans I use RTV gasket sealer not much just to help feeling those parts backup FYI is works very well !
Thanks for the video. So complicated ! To complicated for me.
Can't help but think about that brand new radiator that had a saw cut in it when you opened the box whenever you replace a radiator, lol.
Good morning from Alberta By the look of that AC condenser it might want to be replaced also,,
That housing for the radiator cap, I believe that Dorman is making them out of aluminum and not that cheap plastic crap.
You know something right I've been watching you so long you got me putting the caps on the right way and also saying click
I'm not getting notifications from this live format. I found this by accident while searching UA-cam.
Raid you forgot to clean the AC condenser. When you fully remove the condenser you should always rinse it off with just plain water.
Quick easy r and r. Nice work.
One of the best NON- LETHARGIC RADIATOR MONEY SHOTS EVER!!!!!!!!
G'morning Ray, that was a real good time! Lol!!
Who else misses the doo-dee-lee-doos from the old shop? Ray should hook up a telephone chime for the shop!
Thank you Ray for another great video.
Have a wonderful rest of your sunray, Day!
My OCD just kicked in. Is there a reason that you did not clean the debris from the A/C condenser while you had it out? Seems to me that would aid in cooling efficiency.
Back in the “old days”……Every town of any size had at least one Radiator Shop. The town I grew up in had two. This was back in the days of dinosaurs and shops that actually FIXED things. That radiator would have had the tanks removed and it would have been carefully rodded out. The leaks would have been located and repaired. After a fresh spray of shiny black paint the radiator would have been as good as new for a reasonable price! There was an Auto Electric Shop next door that REBUILT generators, alternators and starters. His rebuilds never failed and he took great pride in his work. He also had a mouth like an Army Drill Sergeant when things didn’t go well. Today, labor costs have created a throw away society I suppose.
Well good morning Ray 🌄 hot dang it sprayed everywhere😂😂😂😂
That's why you pressure test it before reassembly and starting engine.
THE PUBLIC EYE....... imagine him at home just making breakfast for the kids and describing every operation.
😅
Imagine the mess wife unit would have to clean up after him.
He would probably hose everything down afterwards to get it nice and shiny. 😂
Poppeningz zhe toaster, liberal application of die-electric butter, so you know its good... then Oh, No!!! Gravity fail...
first scene: Lancer, BOILING with excitement!
Wasnt sure aboit this vid at fiest but went to the comments and they made me go back and finaih it. Glad I did! Killer work helping that guy out. Everyone needs a CB in their lives. .
Have watched a lot of this sort of thing in the collision repair shop I used to work in. BUT, none as entertaining as your commentary. Very good video indeed!
SO Ray, did you remember to collect your 10mil socket??? It was right where you left it while hosing down the engine.
Howdy Ray. Glad to be here. A job well executed.
I think your presentations are top shelf too.
-SALUTE-
I used to go to the salvage yard to buy used factory radios all the time,
They didn't have a 12volt power supply but insted had a electric motor they plugged in and it ran a car altonator and battery, the battery wasn't nessary but the altonator had enough power to play a 12volt device to test it with.
Insted of using a jump box you could mount the on a pice of plywood and put it on a wall plugged in with the motor on a light switch. On that you could have a collection of short plugs you had saved like off the totaled Mazda.
If you needed to charge a battery it wouldn't tie up any of your jump boxes and you could run it all day on a timer used for attic fans or a bathroom celing fan. That way you can set it to run 5 6 7 or 8 hours by the time your ready to go home it shuts off.
Nothing like installing a dead radio, it always best to test used parts before you installed them. No reason to have to charge somone twice becuse they brought you bad used parts. Some mechanics refuse to use salvage parts just for that reason and you really can't warrant the workmanship if the replacement part is junk.
Hey Ray you forgot the hood latch cable....loved the video
Any other IT guys love watching Ray's videos and kind a wish they would of gone the automotive route in their career? lol
Not really. I graduated UTI in 1995 but went back to school a few years later and started a computer business. The car knowledge is awesome but working for many automotive places taught me that every place was corrupt and greedy. I would never go back to the automotive repair world.
Did you ever grab that 13mm off the support before the car went down the road. That definitely had me worried
I saw that too.Still there when he was washing it off.
That would be why the 13 mm socket is the most sold socket at part stores. And the disappearing socket meme
@Ford6 yes,and the good old 10mm socket !
I dont think he did ! But I think I could see the hood cable reconnected.
I hope you remembered to remove that socket from the front panel that was still sitting there while you were washing the engine bay down?
I notice that there are quite a few cars where the paint appears to be very patchy. I guess that’s because of the sun exposure in this area.
Good job though 👏
