People if you have any problems with the way Mr. Ray and his beautiful wife unit run their shop I suggest you open your own shop and run it your way! Ok? This way you can keep your negative comments to yourself.
Well said !
NAILED IT!
Ray Should Build a Shop at his House....and only service select clients ....... Screw those commutes to the idustrial wasteland.
😮 yo,haters gonna hate🎉
You are mad about negative comments on behalf of another person? You should probably stop reading the comments.
What a difference a Dave makes. Nice cup.
Let me just tell you how nice it is to watch your videos, your English is so clear and understandable for native Finnish speaking dude.
agreed =)
AND FOR A FRENCH TOO

Hello, ray. I just wanted to tell you. Your channel is my all time favorite channel. I've been subscribed to you for years. Even back when you work at somebody else's shop before you had your own. I've been watching since then. I just wanted to thank you for the informative videos. You gave me a different perspective on when it comes to approaching me working on my own vehicles. I just wanted to say thank you for all the positive energy that you put out. The world needs more people like you.
Awesome! Thank you! 😊
Couldn't agree more. I've learned a lot from you while also being entertained 😁. I just put new rotors on the G that u worked on cuz my friend had a lift. And yes I watched the video of you doing it first lol. I'm done with drilled and slotted rotors they will ALWAYS have vibration with non free floating calipers@@RainmanRaysRepairs
When you remove the wiper cowl, you have to change your whole fastener storage strategy
Hey Ray, it amazes me, as an autosparkie, that a lot of electrical stuff in the states are performed by mechanics. Over here in Oz, this work would have been done by a specialist performance shop, or an autoelectrician. Strange breakdown of trades over there.
As to your work skills, there are few things that you do that someone trained as a tech over here wouldn't. Like, when you tape up loom tube you should start on the wire and bring the tape out thru the slit in the tube then continue to tape up the loom. Also, instead of looming up the entire length of that white wire, you maybe should have cut the loom tube to the correct length and folded the wire back into the tube till the right length is left sticking out. Makes for a much tidier and professional job. I do enjoy the fact that you'll have a go at just about everything, and that, as far as US built vehicles are concerned, you have a depth and breadth of knowledge that is enviable. Keep this channel going mate, it's fun to watch. Cheers.
when i was working in a uk shop the secretary use to come out and help out sometimes when she was bored , she wore slippers , commonsense enough to know what she was doing .
When you get first timers you do not let them in the shop as sometimes they are either clueless , or not use to the shop.
nothing wrong getting offended , the world does not stop and you move on , I learnt it at a young age , you grow a thick skin as we call it here in peaky blinder city.
Someone wants to get a serious boost to their already seriously boosted vehicle. E85 will certainly do that. Wow.
El alcohol tiene menor Poder Calorífico que la gasolina. Se lo mezcla (en varias distintas proporciones) porque aquél es un recurso renovable. Tiene la gran ventaja de aumentar el poder antidetonante de la gasolina, pero tiene algunas desventajas.
My thoughts exactly, raising the octane rating for more power
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! Do not yell at the Wife Unit ! 😆😆😆😆😄😆 your humor knows no bounds! You keep being you! I'm glad to see that the auto tech trade is in good hands at Rainman Ray's Repairs!
4:52 - Ray: "That's too much..."
🚔🚨👮: "I agree"
As a wise man once said “you can’t please everyone ,so you got to please yourself” thanks Mr. R Nelson
Ray trolling the trolls is absolute peak gold comedy.
"What a difference a Dave makes" I like that! Is that your Dave?
That is a very full engine compartment. The area where that sensor went was so tight, I'm guessing it's been done by a quality company to get it to fit. If there is a followup video on the programming of the ECM for it I'd like to see it. Love the sound of that Cadillac V-6 twin turbo. I bet it is a fun ride. The E85 may give it even more power...like it needs it.
Thanks for the Lauren/WifeUnit cameo. Don't listen to the trolls about her footwear. She's just fine, as are your kids. I'm sure you all are very careful and cognizant of the environment you're in and use the best judgement.😊
Dang, that cabin air filter is nasty 😂
First thing I noticed when he pulled the cover loose.
Hey Ray! Thanks to your videos I had a pretty good idea why the airbag light in my 2015 Kia Sorento was on all the time and figured it was likely the clock spring. Took it to the dealer and sure enough that was the problem! My warranty expired 4 years ago but much to my surprise they told me Kia warranties the clock spring for 15 years! So free diagnosis, free part and free labour. That made my day. Thought I’d share because it seems to be a common failure for Kia and Hyundai.
Loved your Guys Shameless Coffee promotion great job. And the fun you guys have love it.
Also your attention to detail!
Thank you Ray 'fer your informative vids....
Hi sir you have got to be best mechanic instructor I have ever seen online I love how u explain everything you did Step by step I now feel like I can install a flex fuel sensor myself thank you for a job well done
Vary smart man well done
MC cable anit-short bushings work real well for plugging the ends of that wire loom as opposed to just electrical tape. You just need the respective inner diameter size. Local hardware stores usually carry a couple different sizes, or a local electric supply house carry a bunch of different ones. A bag of 20 are around $3.
That cadi suits you a lot more than expected. Pulling into the garage: car looks awesome, driver (ray) perfect fit. :)
I love being trolled back when I pick on you in fun! It makes life worth it! 😂😂😂
That fuse block just seems like an extra set of connections to get corroded and cause chaos
Yes they are. Not one of the automakers best ideas IMHO.
@@dennissmith8199 Don't tell the engineers, but it looks like there might be a few cubic inches of available spaces in that engine compartment.
hahhahahha @@MonkeyJedi99
Morning Ray. Fancy Caddy. Great procedure. End of transmission.
Love your show ray. She is absolutely adorable. Those looked like steel toe Crocs. 😅
Good Bless you and family.
Ray is just Ray that engine bay needs a detail omg
your not driving the cadi i just shampooed the dipstick lol
@@jamesdougan8789lol
You are an amazing mechanic, I believe you could repair anything !
I truly admire your patience! IF i lived near you I would go no where else to have my truck worked on!
You are such a logical guy!
I'm sure the "wife unit" is and will always be safe, pretty certain that Ray won't have her do something that would cause injury to her or his coworkers.
Ray, where I come from, we have a saying, "stick your nose where it don't belong, your nose will get broken". You and the wife unit run your shop your way. It's obvious some people have nothing better to do than to stick their nose where it don't belong. Personally, I say thank you to both of you for sharing these wonderful videos, some are refreshers some are learning experiences. As usual, great video, cheers :)
Making a difficult job look easy. Well done rainman.
They did not make many older ATS V-Sports with the twin turbo 3.6, but they were incredible sleepers...and ridiculously easy to make goofy power numbers. Of course the new CT4 Blackwing uses a similar engine.
Those newer Blackwings are just badass. I wouldn’t throw this one out either lol. Seeing all the ZZP goodies, I bet it’s pretty quick in its own right. Pretty sure that new sensor is made by ZZP too. Their instructions & thoroughness are top notch. I have a bunch of their stuff on my Cobalt SS.
its the same engine just makes a few more hp due to intake changes from factory
Ray, you do it well. Very well!
Very clean wiring setup. I’ve seen those installed before, but most I’ve seen weren’t clean and protected like you did here. Makes me glad that my car was set for flex fuel from the factory though, it looks like a pain
Zz performance is a really small company for quite a few GM cars in Michigan. They’re actually in Grand Rapids Michigan. If memory serves me correctly they started at the 3800 platform. Awesome company to work with.
I'm in Australia 🙃and have brought parts from ZZP for my 3800 Holden Commodore. Great company.
As I found out on vacation in New England it’s Caaas and cawffee 😎
Ray you meek kitten! It hasn't even started to snarl!
I mean, great engines and all aren't the main reason I come to Ray's channel, but when there is one it's exciting! Keep going at it!
#767 👍 completed.
Dang, the fuse block is removable. More connections to corrode 😆
All this work for E85 😭
Your quality of work was A+ 🏆
A shift pattern on the covers of the coffee pods? Pure genius, absolutely capital. The most Far out gimmick I've seen yet. Great videos BTW.
don't worry about the trolls or haters Ray and Wife Unit. Keep making the videos love to them all
Love Mankind!!❤
Good job, Ray.
My only nit to pick would have been to shorten the white wire from the sensor, instead of coiling up the excess, or fold it up inside the convolute.
Cutting the convolute to fit, then doubling back the wire inside of it is the way to go. Still an amazing job.
G’day Ray and greetings from Tasmania Australia 🇦🇺 the new shop looks good and it’s nice to see your wife, that’s a beautiful car they are not sold down here except for mustangs the bigger utes. I like the way you tackle each job with your unique sense of humour I have subscribed and that dynostic scanner is very nice one anyway take care of yourself kind regards John
Ray I never had the idea that your children were just randomly running around in your shop and in danger (I don’t think they were)enough said. Have good day.
The 'wobbly bits'😊
Hey ray just a little tip on your wire loom activities. Instead of electrical tape, make it look OEM and use GAFF tape. Its the cloth tape that gives better results and lasts
Thanks for the post. A joy to watch.
The best place to run a e85 sensor is under the car on the return line. It’s also way easier to get to then where that kit wants you to put it.
OSHA watching over Ray’s family.
People don't realize that ethanol, the residual vapor goes down to the oil, and requires more frequent oil changes.
Thanks for the videos u do as it helps me with my depression thay make my day thank you again
That is a sweet GNX in a caddy body
Awesome Job Ray
Love your content Ray , just keep being you.
If you have an extra length of wire and a large enough wire loom, loop the wire over itself before putting it in the loom. You'll have what appears to be the correct length without having to trim the wire to length.
I rate cars via top of speedometer. Anywhere from 180-200 it could be a speed demon (or demonstrator). I was driving the alcan in winter, mine goes to 180. Dead straight ice road with plowed snow rails. I wanted to really open it but refrained
That vehicle is beautiful!
Thanks for your videos
the cabin air filter looks like it has seen better days.
The removable cowl was the best engineering breakthrough since sliced bread.. id be thanking Cadillac bud.. good job! Keep up the good work! More wife unit in more unapproving clothing.. for the trolls of course..😂
Thanks for protecting your girl.❤
@ 4:40 "I Can't Drive 55" 🤘
Your PERSEVERANCE is ASTRONOMICAL ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😂
Thank you Ray for letting us watch you be you . I'm always impressed
If you want to feel something scary, I had the privilege to take a friend's shelby code red out on the track....it scared me & I freaked out to get into the 200mph club. A 1500whp stock vehicle is scary to drive but so fun.
Great job 👏🎉
ZZ Performance is aftermarket! I use their parts on my Grand Prix GTP. Nice car and with Twin turbos must be a rocket ship! Hope GM has improved the 3.6 have been known to be boat anchors after 100k miles. That engine isn't transvers so maybe not too hard work . The transverse engine suck! Your sense of humor making fun of the trolls is priceless ! Trolls camp out in the #1 lane on an Interstate doing the speed limit with a line of cars behind them! Their acronyms are FAH! Great video!
Think that orange hose was the supposed kinked one referenced in owners notes
It's the CTS-V that was based on a supercharged LS v8, the ATS-V is based on the 3.6 twin turbo.
Wow. What a job. Great work.
I like the way Ray says “Coffee 😊
LOL Don't let them run unchecked! Good job Ray.
Great job Ray 😊😊😊😊
How many ding dings until he closes the door 😎
Love your videos! One thing you could have done is cut the convolute to length, and then fold the wire back and forth a couple times to make it shorter and hide it in the convolute.
I'm in Dallas. I don't like heat. you have yourself a great day.
Yesssss, at 32.15. What a difference a DAVE makes. I'll claim that one. On you Ray.
Your videos are brilliant ray.
You probably don't even have it in sport mode with stabilitrac and tracking control off either. I own one of these and their a riot!!
Nice work Dr Ray, hello wife unit, miss the x files
Your sense of humor definitely makes the channel.
And the sound effects.
Amen Ray! Definitely a civic duty to correct those among us who need it. Not an easy thing to do but I tell my wife someone has too or the world will never be a better place and these people will think what they are doing is okay.
I love that you mentioned zip ties and bias plies channel he's my second favorite UA-cam channel to watch. You Ray are my favorite then zip ties then Matthew Parker's channel then backyard Broncos. But Ray's channel is definitely number 1.
12:00. I love my Toyota feature of a removable cowl.
Your tools are nice and shiny also well organized I'm sort of jealous mine are messy
Ray, You and ole Peg'n Legin are my favorites on the tube. "Mint"
Good day to you Ray, great video. I am sure the owner appreciates seeing how the part was installed properly. I sure hope you stay hydrated during these hot days. I live on the other side of the state and I 'know' how HOT it is.... LOL! I just caught a glimpse of the 'Dave' mug, I will have to get one. Have a nice day.... CLICK!
Honestly what awesome videos
Thats a badass car. Yesterday l put a power steering pump on my 08 CTS, 3.6 reg aspirated. I would love to upgrade to one of these babies!
May as well replace the cabin filter while you're in there.
Wow coffee cam. Nice addition 👌
Don't forget the windshield wipers
Funny that "destructions" have all the pins marked out. But not the one you need
Nice work yet again Ray. 👍 And if you think that twin turbo Caddy pulls hard, you better hold on to your molars when you plant your foot into the Chevrocobra's throttle. 😎
when I changed my fuel filter I pulled fule relay ran it till it quit NO pressure in line anymore
Ray, love the check yo self reference in the video 😂😂
The cabin air filter looked pretty good..
What a complex little power plant.. Think I would keep the engine cleaner..interesting video
I had occasional acceleration “dips” in a turbo motor, no codes which I subsequently found was the turbo bearings “catching “ - unfortunately when the engine ate the turbo🤢
Liked the video as usual, Ray.
Maybe one day I'll hear some Brake Clean effects again......😥😥😥
That device seems like it was not designed by GM😮.. It's the old Make it Fit job. Picked the best person to get it done..
