This makes me wanna bring my vehicles all the way to Florida because I know that I can trust Ray to do it right ! Thanks for being honest Ray. It’s your finest quality ! 💪🏻😉
I feel exactly the same way above driving to Florida from my home in the Rusty Midwest, to have RAY make all necessary repairs, because I Know It's all HONEST WORK THAT'S BEEN REPAIRED PROPERLY ❤🙏
Same
NO DOUBT FOR SURE!
I know a few good and honest places to take a vehicle in the kentucky/illinois/ Indiana tri state area.
Wat I appreciate about Ray is he doesn't advertise a lot these phoney companies pushing untested unsafe products during his repairs. Best sponsorship is better seen not heard in the background of the shop. Excellent work Ray and crew
At my age of 63,I have noddle arms all the time!! Thanks for the video! Ray
i swear every time i hear you say "Hey Dave"...im waiting for him hollar back "Dave's NOT hear, man".... LOL🤣
Dave's Not Here, Man.
A classic line from Cheech & Chong !!!
We have been entertained by Ray, Alvin the chipmunk, and Mr Noodle arm all in the same video. I never thought watching an engine and transmission being worked on could be so entertaining. Great job Ray!
Ray is going to prove that Dorman parts have merits.
Just Some window regulators were cheeszee,yet OEM highway robbery😏
Would be pleasant for an after market seller to improve it's parts quality, hard to believe, but possible !
Some Dorman parts are good quality. Some are not quite up to par, but they have come a long way in their quality.
I stay away from them unless its the only option, which is the case in some instances. I had to get Dorman with a filler tube seal for a 97 Silverado Z71.
I catch myself saying “Gravity” all the time 😂
And flashlight! I do they same thing 😂😂
Gravity 😠
I actually said "normular" once and got funny looks from people LOL!!
@@GeekBoyMN hey Rays got us talking like him! Not a bad thing. Wish my wife brought me water or coffee 🥴😡
Loved the way you went about this, installing the pan, then the rear seal/cover, snugging everything then tightening. I have not personally done this so it was very informative to me. Seeing the "squeeze" of the rear cover/pan and the sealant was nice. I do live vicariously through your procedures and feel like I"m there. Thanks.
Also, great seeing another cameo of Lauren/WifeUnit. She takes good care of you! 😊
The pickup tube O-ring was very much a sensuous job.
As in 'Sensuous in there, might as well replace it."
She got nice legs
I mean the oil pan pickup!
I can confirm that I like seeing nice and shiny new parts on cars.😌
it gives me good feeling and makes me soooo happy. i cant explain it
i do too but the repair seems excessive. a simple seal conditioner in the fluid would have likely sufficed.
@@inspectorjavert5563once it starts to lick it's just better to reseal it with new gaskets. I will never put that stuff in my engine.
@@inspectorjavert5563that main seal fell out of the plate and the plate seal was bad also
Always nice to see Lauren.
Love the Chip and Dale sound effects on the speed up! 😅
I liked a close 😶'Eric O' imitation voice on the previous video.😁
That's a great way to describe the high speed, perfect! 😄
Hello Ray and good day for you too. Let’s fix the leaks and watch another good video.
Nobody else shows the complex repairs like you. Great job showing how to do the not so easy repairs. Pulling transmissions to do rear mains and oil pans. Also valve covers on a van are a pain. Thanks for the videos and keep them coming.
Hey, Ray...one tip for ya. One of the holes in the flex plate is smaller than the rest. This allows you to install that one first, torque it down, and then put each of the others in and torque them down as you go. That way you only have to do it once. Picked that tip up from a transmission guy.
Ray, when doing the pan and rear seal try putting the rear seal on first to give more room to fit it over the crank then add sealant at the front and rear joints before fitting the pan. That's how it was done on the production line I worked on.
Cheers Eric
Ray using the floor as a giant table.
I'm happy to be retired now because when it's to hot or cold I don't have to work on anyone's cars. I fix whatever is wrong on many folk's cars even now but I'm selective on when and what I will do. Enjoyed this one in particular and was remined of doing mostly the same while lying flat on my back in the driveway.
It's amazing to look at a 2009 undercarriage that is as clean as that one! Being in the rust belt it would definitely not be the same up here!
Eric O is jealous 😮
Guessing that the local highway department doesn't even have salt. Why would they. We haven't needed any in Atlanta area for several years. We've had cold, but no cold and wet at same time.
If you saw the beginning of the first video Ray pointed out that the van has spent much of its life in Hawaii. Probably explains why it is so clean.
While watching Ray put the transmission back on, I couldn’t help but think Ray was going to do his famous camera-smash and say, “end of transmission”! 😊
Enjoyed this one for sure..owned an 04, 3500, Access Van, 6.0, same trans, purchased new. Loved, cared for...
At 95k, started hearing this screech scratch sound...No one, even one of GMs mechanics could pinpoint...
Now, thinking back, I am pretty sure was a cam bearing...stupid MobilOne killed it.
Awesome job ray stay hydrated bud she went back together nicely
Hi 👋🏽 Ray wife unit and Dave just finished watching second part video it’s awesome I wrenched for about 35 years now I 71 years old and watching work you’re honestly mechanic as always you all be safe in heat 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I’ve been driving these vans close to 30 years, and driver comfort is tertiary and so are conveniences. The rivets and the oil pan gasket help make it easier to install the factory.
Ray, I’m not a mechanic, but enjoy watching a pro @work. You must have a lot invested in your electron ratchets! I have pneumatic tools, but those electron tools are pricy!
lol… I have a 1/2” drive click ratchet, but my 3/8th drive is a pointer. Ever had one of those?
That would be a sight to see it bolted to the connecting rod, lol
Riveted engine oil pan gaskets. Now that’s a new one for me.
Just a suggestion, ALWAYS lube dynamic orings before installation. Dry orings can be damaged during the first operation. Prelube gets them started started in the right direction.
Great job and video. I wish i lived closer 😥. Orlando resident.
Touch of dielectric grease, and it makes them easier to install on part and pop into home. I even do it on my coolant fittings
I live in UK my first ever car I had an oil pan leak when I looked all the bolts had worked loose ,so I had to replace gasket and tighten to 10 pounds no bad for my first repair it was a vauxhall viva hb 1300cc
I can’t wait for my new house it will have a lift from Bend Pack ❤❤❤ Back can’t take laying on concrete 😢
Those Dorman rear covers for the LS are no joke. I've used several of them, not one comeback. Everybody can talk smack on Dorman all they want (well, their window regulators ARE a joke lol), but for things like this cover, the Pentastar aluminum oil heat exchanger/oil filter assembly etc, they're top notch.
Thank you for going over those again with a regular ratchet, I was a little worried that the Snap-on wouldn't get it tight. After seeing that though I feel pretty confident.
Wife for the win love the water delivery. She's protecting her investment. As we know if Ray stops the shop closes. Love the video 🎉
Man that amount of sealant on anything is savage. I’m a heavy duty wrecker operator and can tell you copious amounts of sealant can definitely put a damper on your day. Can you please put insight to why driveshaft bolts are supposedly one time use. One of the most heated debates in my industry.
Boy you are in trouble oil on that nice clean floor. Your grounded
Nice job ray first class work 👍👌🔧🔧🔧 a very trustworthy mechanic and most importantly keeping people safe and others on the road too ,may your shop be busy and wish you all the best ❤️👌👍
I always add a little bit of white Lithium Grease to O-Rings, and seals upon installation.
ON a Personal Note, and as a retired older man, I highly recommend getting a "
Hot Shave by a Professional Barber" on a regular basis, ... especially in such HOT weather as in Florida... does wonders for your health and personal wellness too.(Been there done this as a trucker in my past) All the fatigue from work seems to just disappear. Keep doing what your doing though bud... really enjoying your professional take on vehicles thanks!
Ray, thank you for allowing me to have my head (camera) between your eyes and the work area. You spend a lot of time on lighting and camera placement to allow us to see what you are doing, though I am sure you are working by feel most of the time. Great video. It is hard to do good camera work. And you are also working flat rate to complete the job.
Not only could I not do the great mechanic work that you do, but I doubt I could get the close in camera work you do
Someone went ham with that sealant
I love it when Ray goes to "Chipmunk" mode
Human powered non electron ratchet for the win!! 🥇
Good call on the oil pickup O-ring. While you've got it all open, spend the extra 5 bucks for a new O-Ring as preventive.
Tightening pan before that crank seal cover is tight would facilitate a crank seal leak.
Good day to you.
Congrats.I think you made it thru a whole video without calling anybody hacks or crooks.good video.much enjoyed.thankyou.
This job appears pretty easy,,,, when viewed on UA-cam reclined in a chair indoors!
Ray I have the most respect for you! Florida heat and humidity sucks and for not cussing on camera. Off camera I am sure you do. Me my neighbor’s learn new words from a red neck Marine when working on my vehicles. If kids around I do my best to muffle it to myself!❤
Home Depot has the water cool shop fan's on sale. It make's a lot of difference. :)
If this is one that sprays water into the air stream, no. Not helpful when the humidity is too high.
I really like your technique on those rear main seal bolts Ray.
I used to work in ninety odd degrees, when it was that hot we used to put damp towels in the fridge when they where cold we would drap them round our necks worked a treat at cooling us down 😊
Ray hitting the Big Time. Been following you for years and now your videos have the long, big commercials!!! Your channel is AWESOME !!!
That flat o-ring ... The Jeep XJ oil filter adapters do that too, flatter than a pancake. Leaks like a sieve as well.
Gotta love the 4L80 on an L99. 😩🤦🏻♂️
Hey I finally made first comment. 56 seconds after posting. I'm glad you are back to a good routine. I'm sure all of us were jonsing for content. Nice long video, good job. Wife Unit is perfect
Noodle arm...the struggle is real. But tugging on a trans? Sus.
Loved the video. Amazed at the length of some of the fasteners. You have patience and muscle memory I would love to have. Dr.’s and mechanics I’ll never know how they keep and learn all all that they do,
Ray you fixed all the leaks I m sure it’s good.
Hey Ray this is Jose from New Hampshire watch most of all your videos in there good
The feeling when the gearbox joins the engine .
Another great clip Ray , appreciate all the time involved in making , editing , uploading these videos , lots of good info and guidance , cheers from Ontario Canada , keep on clicking😉
We want NICE & SHINY!!
always love seein a runnin vortec!!! chevy pride
Nice tunes. My kids listen to Upchurch. (Yes, they are all grown).
Question for you Ray, why do you not change the dogbone o-ring, replace the plastic dogbone with a new one or upgrade the dogbone whenever you have the rear main cover off? You replace the oil pickup o-ring whenever you have the oil pan off. You replace the cam cover whenever you have the front cover off so you don't get internal oil leaks. Why not the dogbone so you don't have internal oil leaks. Not all of them are so strapped for cash they can't afford a 12.00 oem part. I'm really curious as to why not.
A leaky dogbone is really a minor issue and they can be really hard to get out, especially with just e inches of space behind thd engine. You only really need to replace the dogbone if your cleaning the block. It's an I've hyped part.
@@rjm7168Yup and you should probably let the customer make that choice since according to ray this was already a very budget job.
Great job Ray! Sneaking in and getting that torque converter loose was a win!!
The engine is that quiet with the doghouse open? Nice!
You do great work man, but I think it would benefit you to clean all parts removed and gereral area before reinstalling everything. I always like for the customer to visually see my work.
shop looks amazing
Always enjoy the diverse selection of repair videos. Very interesting material.
Great video. Having done this exact same job before, better you than me!
Maybe Arod could go get some corndogs😳 🎉
Another interesting video. Thanks, Ray.
Ray, I think you spoiled us, I know you spoiled me. I used to watch a video every day with my breakfast coffee (I'm in same time zone as you). Now, some days there's no video, and when there is, it's after my breakfast time.
This is not a complaint-you have a wife unit and kids, and I'm sure it's hard to post something by 7am every day. Keep doing what you're doing. You've got a dedicated watcher.
So funny Ray I'm 51 and work on the railroad 50+lbs to lift a day
You made it look easy. But I know it wasn’t as easy as it looked. 👍
Nice job on this video Rainman. Thanks for making the effort.
Tough workday time for cool shower and cold drink feet up! 👍
Welcoming back!
Good job, seemed like a very productive day. I like to work on my vehicles less and less, but still do all oil, filter, diff, brake work myself. I don't want to be paying the shop to do it and then find out they screwed up. If it's gonna get screwed up, I want it to be me that does it. PSA: the word debris has no plural or singular form, it's just debris all day long. Pronounced "debree". Your welcome. 🤓
Ray, it's not a good day until you make a sacrifice to the car Gods after that the day is good. If you don't anything that can go wrong will go wrong. 😂
Another great video Ray Man
They've been making this van for almost 30 years and they still didn't get the white paint right
I’ll take the peeling paint over rust.
Hacks do what ever is cheaper and easy and charge top dollar😂
Don’t you know environmentally friendly paint hates the environment
😂😂😂😂😂
My 2006 peeled like crazy. Van ran great though.
Neutral drop works quite well...
Excellent video, thank you for the great detail on this job.
I'm glad you have your own shop. More of a family thing. I enjoy your videos.
Ray I use to put black tape on my wobble socket' to keep them straight and not so loose to help get on the bolts
Was doing a starter on a 2012 6.7 power stroke today and realized how much of a Nightmare it is compared to chevys 2 bolts and it falls and smacks you in the face. Gm always seem to do it simple and ford finds the most complex way possible to do things. Such as their amazing torque converter studs aswell.
great job if it was mine I believe I would replace the oil sending unit while the engine cover is off.
Awesome one man band action!
Like your attitude as to not take advantage of the public, you Eric and Wizard, watch your videos every chance, good deal, bet that Hawaii van didn't have rust underneath!
I caught your video on 9th out I do believe that is the earliest I ever caught you but anyways I'm glad to be here and I already gave you a thumbs up
If this van was in HI. that cover and gaskets would have been 10 times the cost there. That's why they did the sealant. Everything comes in on the boat or plane.
Classic example of a valid "while we are here" repair (O-ring on pickup tube).
Water pump while replacing timing belt another example. The water pump is behind the belt.
Seems like an O-ring should still work if not disturbed. Somebody did something wrong there.
When installing the rear main cover, you set it in place over the crankshaft. Presumably with the gasket centered on the shaft.
Why then pull the rear main cover down to the oil pan instead of pulling the oil pan UP to the rear main cover ?? Are you not ever so slightly pulling the rear main seal off center ? Pulling it down creates compression on the top and a looseness on the bottom of the gasket seal ????
Coulda put some red,white and blue silcone on that cover😊
Hey Ray, G.M. fex plates have one converter hole that is smaller than the rest. If you install that bolt first and tighten, the remaining bolts can be installed and torqued.
Dielect,,engine or other grease, doesn't matter, it is only there to make installation easier and damage free and to prevent damage on initial startup. Once running the actual lube will take its place and KEEP it running damage free.
All dynamic seals will benefit from this prelube procedure.
Great video Ray,thank you so mutch!
Hvl.
It's not the paint, happens to all colors. What happens is operators wipe oil sheen from metal after installation, from ding removal, ride in delivery racks, to leaning on vehicle to install other parts ie. Hoods, doors, all prior to alpo dip that removes oil before paint dept.
Hmmm.. its "HOT" there... I foresee 'Air Conditioning' in your shop future as a VERY STRONG possibility?(or just an El Cheapo Swamp Cooler up on the roof?)
LoL... You know it's kinda nice to watch someone else besides me do this stuff....
