    You can probably get a much bigger shop when the dealerships go out of business because they can't sell a $115,000 truck and the manufacturers don't give them vehicles to sell. Also, don't pay that much attention to the googans who hate. I would guess that almost all of us watching are fans and appreciate you and your wife.

    I am an old guy that has done only a small bit of wrenching over the years. When the dealer told me that my Highlander with 55K needed to have the throttle body cleaned for $150, I said “No thank you” and took it home and did it myself. Having been inspired by your videos that have shown the process, I performed that service on the Highlander and on my Lexus. Side note: neither of them were dirty at all.

Was at a shop and found a few oil filters that are the correct Z156, bought the entire stock, because they had been on the shelf for 15 years, older than my vehicle, and were still at the price from 15 years before. Got 2 left of the 3.

Although without knowing how long they were in there it could be they are just old and tired and their time was up. Definitely looking forward to seeing your visit to the company to see what they're doing to improve them. It is refreshing that they did admit they had issues and were taking steps to fix them.

    Hey Ray, we’re all here subscribing to his channel because we like to watch a good mechanic do good mechanical work, diagnose problems, fix complicated mechanical issues, and do good professional repairs, that’s what we’re here for. we don’t need malcontents bringing their political agenda to this channel, we come here to get away from that nonsense. Just block those trolls you don’t need them. BTW try not to forget the plastic caps😂

      I'm not saying it's a walk in the park but when you work on cars/trucks every day it becomes memory and rep not as tough as you think. Get to know by memory, and common sense.

    I believe it is a good idea for Lauren to be in every video, even just a cameo appearance. She reminds us of what we work for!
    Just a note that might be useful.
    When installing a valve cover with silicon gasket.
    I find 2 bolts that can match the threads, cut off the head and use them as guide pins.
    Place them in a couple of holes and slide the cover down over them.
    That way I won't be worried about slipping and messing up my gasket.
    I can't hold the valve cover as still as you can.

    What in the holy hell is the issue you people who are complaining about in this perfectly cut and dried situation?? The company contacts Ray asks is this personal? Ray says nope going on the reviews of your product, company ADMITS yep those one you removed were terrible and we happy to admit it. They say we've improved come and see them being made. Ray says OK. Can we send you a set of new ones to install. Ray says sorry customer requested these others we've ordered and got. Company says OK can we give you some to install at some point and Ray says thank you. END OF STORY some people love making up conspiracies. Keep up the good work Ray and well done Diesel Logic for happily admitting the injectors WERE bad.🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

    Staying in touch with home vicariously through your and Lauren’s vids, Ray. Don’t change. We all wince initially when we hear criticism about our work or products. Sounds like they focused on it already resulting in a better product. Looking forward to what your regular viewers know will be an equally unbiased and forthright Rainman Ray review after your factory tour. Btw, who else except you tackles such jobs in exceptional detail? They should be grateful to prove their improvements. From South Africa.

    Ray, social media can sometimes…..well always, bring out the worst in people. Maybe it’s the anonymity of it, but they say things they would not normally say to you in person. These people are in the minority. The vast majority of us love what you do, and the wife units cameo appearances. Keep up the good work.

    I agree with you on the comment's you said pertaining to police officer's. If there wasn't any cops to enforce laws, can you imagine how much worse crime would be..? Sobering thought. The way I look at it if people aren't breaking the law then there should be no fear of police, just respect because their job is to uphold and enforce law, which can be dangerous. Thanks for your video's. I really enjoy watching and learning! Also, I thought it was sweet how you were teaching your wife how to check the spark plugs. 😊❤

    In regards to the law enforcement stuff... It really depends on individual within the law enforcement force. Some are power hungry cucks that truthfully shouldn't even be allowed in such positions, while there are plenty of those who actually do good for their communities, and the ones who do good are quite respectable.

    Once I receive them, I will add a plug with photos.
    Like with Ray's repairs, quality matters!
