“I’ll fight you, wasp!!” *runs away*
Sorry Ray, but the wife unit was not the only one who was laughing.
This is why you never go anywhere without a can of brake clean in your pocket!
Wolf whistle at 8:06!
I was hoping that she had a camera and got a good view of it. New youtube channel - "wife unit outtakes"
@Keith Oliver, yea the wasp was laughing too!😆
my gf and I were both laughing heartily
One of the most important and more noticeable things with you Ray is, you can speak more freely and you're much happier! Even though the shop isn't making profit yet, you're definitely not as stressed out as you were at the last place. Even though you were having "stage fright" on your first live last night, you did an awesome job rolling thru it. It warms my heart and gives me a big proud smile to see how much happier you are with your family being at the shop with you!! And no, I'm not trying to kiss ass either. Even though we don't know each other personally, just know I'm proud of you for all the great choices you've made!!
P.s
Wife Unit, I agree with many from the live stream last night with the new idea for a shirt "Brake Clean Mafia", also as a sticker in a couple of sizes. Smaller size for the tool box=5"X5" and 10"X10" for the vehicle. That's my thought, would anyone else agree? Thank you Ray and Ms Lauren for all that you do!! I hope than you both have a great day!!!
Amen
You took the words right out of my mouth! Very well said sir.
Agreed! A sticker or better yet a T-Shirt would be awesome? AND make some bank for Ray.
We love Ray. A real Florida man, Trump man. Old school American values, wife cooks and cleans and stands by her man. Thanks Ray for being such a strong representative of our traditional values
I’d totally run a break clean mafia sticker on my box
Hey Ray, that Wasp just wanted to talk to you about your cars extended warranty! 🤣
When you try to collect on that warranty, that's when you get stung.
@@61rampy65 it was a joke. It was a reference to the scammers who think they're slick by tryin to steal money from people by getting them to pay for a fake warranty.
@@pyro323 Oh, I got it. That's why I said stung.
I'm glad you brought up the open door. That's been driving me nuts since day 1😁
Yeah, please do something with that door.
Needs a spring, door closer, thingy.
That door drives me crazy.
Yeah it’s like the lil door needs to be in office maybe?
It definitely opens into a weird corner.
@@richardhemingway6084 Don't try to confuse us with your technical jargon!
Hi Ray & Wife, I live in the UK and have been a follower for about 6-9 months and watch all your shows. It's nice to see you go on your own, as you now answer to no one but yourself (oh and wife). I was a truck driver over ere and was made redundant, so went self employed and loved every minute. I worked when I wanted and took days off when I saw it was going to be a nice day. I love the way that your lovely wife is now part of the operation. Keep up the good videos and say “Hi to the wife and family” from a UK watcher.
Awesome Mick!! I'm on team Canada. Most of us love you UK folk. Great comment for Ray!!
Hail King Charles 😆 🍻
Hi Mick, unless I've read yr UA-cam name wrong, hello from 2E0PJC, if yr still active ill Listen out for you on the repeaters and/or HF (obviously dependant on yr area!). 73's to you
Ray, the wife unit was not the only one laughing 🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂 true
Viewer units were laughing in mass.
Ray! Ya big girls blouse! Running from a tiny wasp. As a previous tenant of your box trailer it just wanted to thank you for saving it from the hurricane. 🤣🤣🤣
@@diggrduggr1 especially since he said I'll Fight you 5 seconds before he started running..
Pretty sure Ray screamed like a little girl before he ran. LOL ALL of us were laughing. However, we also know that all of us would run too.
Don't forget to provide the wife unit with lots of encouragement and praise! It can be stressful when family and business mix, and a "Great job!" can go a long way towards relieving that!
It is nice seeing you get a steady stream of cars coming in already.
Gotta luv Ray, tells the wasp "I will fight you" then runs away when it moves towards him 🤣
So, FYI, PT Cruisers have 4 motor and trans mounts. All motor mounts are on the left side. Top, middle and lower. Only 1 trans mount. One thing MOST mechanics do NOT know is that the top motor mount has an adjustment area. I forget what the measurement is but if it is not correct, then you will get shaking and vibrating a LOT. Ask me how I know. lol. I like to see more of your work on the other 2 cruisers that i saw sittin there.
Hi Ray. I repair Keurigs. When you put the KCup in the machine, DO NOT close the handle. Press the cup down with your fingers until the bottom needle punctures the cup, then close the handle. This prevents coffee grounds from shooting up into the top needle, and eventually clogging it.
Excellent advice.
Thank you for advice. I bet many people do not know this.
Not being a KCup user, this piece of knowledge will help me achieve a higher standard amongst my peers as the guy who knows a whole lot. Thank you! 😁
!!! this is why we should ALWAYS check the comments for valuable life hack advice !!!
Seeing a pt cruisers makes me glade I quit Chrysler when I did way back in 2003
I love the wife unit's Rayesque answer of "I'm learning" when he wanted the camera back.🤣
Re: the vibration and engine movement, check the main engine mount on the passenger side. It has a single bolt accessible through the fender well that passes through the mount and threads into the plate that is bolted to the front of the engine over the timing cover. This mount and bolt are a common problem on the PT boats. It is hard to diagnose the problem because the mount is almost impossible to see due to the tight clearance between the engine and the body.
and will make you change religions trying to change. :D
PT Cruiser lol. Don't look too hard Ray, you will find all kinds of problems. These things were junk from the get-go.
Wife Unit is not only a very attractive lady, she seems really sweet. You're a blessed man, Mr. Ray. What a great way to live your life - working for yourself with a wife who apparently actually loves you and works with you and some great kids. Don't ever take what you have for granted!
Now we’re all watching Ray make coffee! He’s got us all wrapped up.
Congrats on your live feed last night. Being your own boss and answering to no one but your customers and the wife unit. It's a win win situation. Stay safe and play safe
Ok, in all the things I've seen A/C diagnostics related, this cardboard shrouded fan demonstration on the pressures of the system being highly affected in such *dramatic* fashion is the first time I've seen it proven, and in such an emphatic way.
Always learning. Thanks for showing us this, Ray! Amazing teaching tool right there, how many would have said 'orifice tube/expansion block/plugged line' and charged us out the wazzoo for the 'repair' that didn't need to happen?
Well done, sir, your integrity is amazing.
I worked at the dealer when these were new and I`ve replaced a bunch of those fans. It`s funny that most of the time the customer complaint is the A/C is hot, they don`t even notice the temperature gauge.
That engine sounds like my childhood bicycle with a baseball card in the spokes. 🤣
Awesome that the compressor survived that high pressure. Oh and thanks for another great video.
Ray, the big box stores selling plastic concrete mixer pans. I put them either on my transmission lift or oil catcher when spraying solvent. OR, when pulling transmission pans. They are about 3' X 4'.
It’s great that now you are the one who can talk to your customers about your diagnostics and recommendations for them.
Wife Unit sounds much better than "PETAH!!" Also, whenever you bring a car into the shop and run over the extension cord, in my head, I envision the cord as a bell ringer in an old style gas station and I catch myself going ..."ding ding."
Maybe some day PEETAH! will join Ray as an employee at Ray's Auto Clinic.
Maybe too he could invest in the old drive over "ding ding". I think that'd be cool.
As a former Piece Trash Cruiser owner, and seeing multiple varieties outside, I'd say you now have job security!
Easiest way to check the main mount at the timing cover, is pop the plug out of the frame behind the passenger wheel, and observe the position of the torx head bolt. It should be reasonably centered in the hole. If it's near the bottom of the frame hole, the mount is collapsed.
Or just don’t buy a PT Cruiser. 😆jk
@@beavis1513 That's not a joke. Those things are serious garbage.
@@loacyric oh my!
Actually John typing. Wife's laptop. Long time, multiple PT owner on purpose :). First thing that gets broken on a timing belt change is the AC plug when you jack up the motor, thus the RTV repair on the yellow 07 plug. You have to jack up and let the motor down multiple times to access all servicing, mounting bolts especially for a timing belt/water pump replacement. The shake issue, Bad (two speed) fan motor usually causes a motor shake (as you have determined). Any electrical load on a PT has an effect on idle, even the windows, :). 100k mile, things that are usually ready to be replaced. Timing belt/water pump, T-stat, fan motor assy. and radiator cap. Sometimes the radiator. Especially if the orange goo is present on the cap gasket. Lower control arm assy's are easier and less expensive than replacing the ball joint and bushings as separate parts.There are multiple PT Cruiser sites on FB. You should see the custom work people do to these cars, world wide. Enjoying your page. It's my first "go to " daily, on UA-cam.
Wonderful heads up information.
So nice to see the family in the shop. You are a good man Ray, with a great future ahead of you. God Bless all of you!
It might be the yellow car attracting that wasp. Years ago a girlfriend of mine had a yellow car, we were constantly dealing with bees and wasps
Wow trusting your wife not to hold any past grudges while you stand in front of the car with only her foot on the brake. respect dude
Thinking his life insurance wasn’t current. Smart move by wife unit. 💡🍕🍺
Always make sure she's not mad at you before you do that
The good news is the PT owner has found you rainman. This old gal will have a chance to be of service for a few more years.
First off you are a very talented man and I think your business will thrive. Just a little tip. Buy your brake clean by the 55 gal. Barrel. I know it sounds crazy but we started doing a few years back and it’s about half the price of cans. Just buy a good pressure can about $50.
Wife unit has great sense of humor! Designed her own shirt then laughed with us as you run from wasp lol. My dad would just smack them between his hands. Been doing that since Ft Benning in 68. He got a good chuckle. He told me that snakes are the only things he would back away from. When we got the ability to legally use suppressors, he got one for snake duty. His favorite things to find under a vehicle waa always a new shop kitty. Once he found a stray basset hound. Great to have in the shop before the world was covered by video surveillance
Very handy Wife Unit..Safety first..
That coffee is harvested like 10 miles from my home, hope you enjoyed it!
Anyone else here go get coffee after seeing Ray brew a cup?
You might want to take off the engine mount inspection plug on the frame to check the middle engine mount.
So great, you are so much more relaxed and happier, you can just tell by the delivery of your videos! Keep up the fantastic work, and thanks for bringing us along for the ride!
Ray,enjoy your videos a lot. Thanks
Now retired, after over 50 years in the engineering industry. Last piston I pulled was just on 40” in diameter.
Anyway, with that experience, I know a little bit.
Whoever taught you your trade deserves a compliment or two.
But, whoever taught you about ethics deserves the most compliments.
Not very often found in the automotive industry.
Please keep it up.
Greatest respect to you.
Rod.
Ps I share your love of brake cleaner !!
Wife Unit didn't park in front of the door. She parked where she deserves to park - in Executive Parking! You park that van, girl! Park it with authoritay.
Two thoughts Ray.
1. The building is creepy. You need a demarcation like LED edge lighting or a sign.
2. The sooner you hire and train a rainman jr, the sooner you can find a main Ave place for sweet oil and brake $$$$$.
Ray gets more done with one hand than most people with 2.
And, it's the wrong hand making it three people.
Aww Ray looks so precious driving a PT Cruiser....LOL
At 79 & coming from a different time I find it very soothing and pleasant to see how much respect you have for another individual. And yes, I am referring to the wife unit, as you call her. don’t know that I like that reference. Be that as it may many of the videos that I watch nobody says please and thank you and most of them are yelling all being mailed course doing the yelling I mean. And after watching your video last night I also find you to be a very intelligent man and a wise man for your age Suggestive of the fact that you had a good upbringing. Don’t change who you are and I love your wisdom and especially enjoy watching your videos keep up the good work. Seems that people have been able to find you so that you won’t want to customers that’s for sure.. wishing you and your family a happy holiday season coming up nothing but the best stay safe. And you can call me FUBB! Smile.
Ray the wife unit has a smile that lights up the world. She makes a great addition to your videos. Keep up the good work.
No, no, no, DIY car maintenance you tube channels
are the last bastion of maleness, and you want females in it ?
Try tanning and waxing websites you weirdo.
@@johnrutherford1953 I believe the weirdo is the on that knows about tanning and waxing videos. A family working, wife supporting her husband, traditional family. Nothing wrong with that. Just stick to watching you window warrior.
I had the same problem with my doors at my shop. Amazon has automatic door closers, they are reasonably priced. I installed them a year ago with zero issues...
I'm amazed a PT Cruiser made it to 150,000
6:14 "she's laughing at me!" ... We all are Ray, and we would all act the same as you did if we were in your shoes there. Lol.
Not gonna lie, but you are more entertaining than some of the shows that I used to watch on the discovery channel and one day you will have a camera person following you around and you will be making episodes that way. So keep up the good work there, Ray. And like always have yourself a good day. 👍🏻.
What's to say some of what we've seen so far isn't already like that?
It's so nice to see you interact with your wife at the garage and as usual another Great video. Watching from St Lucia in the Caribbean...
Your trouble shooting skills never cease to amaze me. That is the main reason that I am hooked on your channel. I am a retired health care professional and as such, one's ability to go through the diagnostic algorithms to arrive at a correct diagnosis was extremity important to achieving a successful outcome. And, as a barely qualified shade tree mechanic, I never in a million years would have suspected that the AC was the main cause of the car's symptoms. Keep up the good work and I pray that the good Lord will bless and grow your business.
Ray, you’re got it all now.
You’re your own boss, except perhaps for wife unit, a nice family and a loyal following.
Life is good, so appreciate it.
There is a buffer device on the fuel rail that if its removed will cause the engine to idle rough. it buffers the fuel pump pulse. Ive seen it quite a few times on those.
Hi Ray, I like to thank you for always showing exactly what you are doing. I have learned a lot from watching your channel, other channels don’t show every single thing, keep up the good work, from Ontario Canada
I was watching Eric O the other day, and he said "new" stands for "never ever works" LOL - I thought that was a good one!
I've arrived at the same diagnosis on a few vehicles over the years. Every time they say I'm wrong. Then they come back in a week saying go ahead and repair it. Probably after getting the same opinion and a more expensive repair at another shop.
I really hope you figure out whats wrong with this one ray i have the same car year and engine. Just different color. With the same problems. Ive been trying to diagnose it for 2 yrs with no luck. Atleast with ur video its giving me a set of fresh eyes and other possibilities. Thank u for this and all of ur videos.
It is a PT Cruiser, that is the problem.
I m loving the videos with you as the boss. You're not the only one who runs from divebombing wasps.
I have owned two New Chrysler Vehicles in 50 years of marriage and Both were Triple Lemons--Chevy's and Ford's for many years, always served me well. Wife just bought a 350 RX Lexus, hopefully it will Live Up to its Name...
Had one of those🤦🏻♂️. Nothing but trouble!🤬
I was too! Such a tiny nemesis! Afraid of an insect, but stand in front of a car with wife unit revving the engine. That must be a great trust in her and the breaks.
Ray, ima send you some REAL coffee from Australia. Yes, we do grow our own here. Lol
The wasp was protecting the yellow ‘mother ship’ from you.😀😆
Makes me miss my 2006 PT Cruiser. I owned her from brand new until January of 2022 when a lady pulled out of a church parking lot to make a left without looking to the right. I never even got my foot off the gas before I rear ended her minivan. Totalled my PT and my right femur.
If I have friends who absolutely loved their PT Cruisers, some owning several of them. The biggest complaint was the transmission should have been a 5 speed automatic, and efforts in further refinement and to make more fuel efficient were non-existent from Daimler-Crysler.
A leaf blower works great for a quick air cool down 👍
So does a spray bottle with water. The water spray bottle actually works better than most shops fans do to bring the high pressures down quickly to diagnose the lack of air flow cooling.
Someone mentioned this the other day. So, I looked, sure enough that outside door that opens out is hinged on the outside. YIKES RAY!!!!
@15:23 Wow that's the first time in forever that I can remember ray actually WIPING something, usually it's just a full can of brake-clean from 3 feet away.
sorry Ray it was a little funny the wife unit laughing. i just noticed you have a ac machine now good on ya buddy
Ray! :) You need a NOCO HD jump pack. It can do 8.0L gas / 6.0 Diesel easy as pie and they're good little units. Saftey/SOS option as well and a jump from absolute dead as well.
The last time I saw that many PT cruisers next to each other, was when they were new on the dealership lot.
I am amazed that the high pressure safety switch did not cut the compressor power off.
That might be the problem!
Ray the man,the myth,the mechanic.
Man it up through a hurricane, but runs from a wasp..🐝
Can't see the wind.
@@larrybe2900
In that hurricane you could see the trees bending and swaying in the wind..
love the no-name-brand refrigerant machine. looks very home-made.
Necessity is the mother of invention what ever works have a great day
1:33 Ray! Your first chance to say Doodlelydoodooo!!!!
That passenger side frame rail mount can sag and cause vibration.
You can see the mount bolt thru the fender well. If the bolt isn't center or above center it's sagging.
That mount is easy to replace when doing the timing belt. Other than that it's impossible.
5:55 you need a can holster like hank hill has, but with a can of brake cleaner.
Saw where Hank couldn't get the cap off a regular can of WD 40, so he pulled the small can of WD40 from his holster, sprayed the cap on the large one. Hilarious.
Nice work, never would have guessed the a/c.
I worked at a Chrysler dealer when the PT Cruiser was released. The original name was suppose to be Pronto Cruiser but they shorten it to PT Cruiser
It's pretty awesome to see you and "wife unit" working together. You all seem to be a nice supportive family. Kudo's to you
Ray. Ask the wife unit if she can make some shirts with your company name and logo on it. Anyone else down to buy one?
Was hoping to see the fuel trim levels on this thing 😁 Great to see ya new shop up and running.
Hello my name is Mark and I'm from the uk . I love watching your videos and I like how in depth you are when making them .I'm learning alot and also gave me the confidence to fix my own car .keep up the great work .
Good morning Ray at least it is in Alberta Canada.
Just wanted to say... We have our Wasp season in the months of August, September and Early October. Wasps here are typically attracted to the colour yellow.
Ray, send that pt cruiser to the CRUSHER
Adventures made from scratch
Agreed.
NO WAY! You're as scared of wasps as I am!! LOL wow, I feel better about myself now!
Gee, I would have completely missed that diagnosis. Well done.
I was with you in thinking an engine mount had failed. Did not see this coming and hope that they get a complete diagnostic fix for what is wrong cause I really want to know myself
The wife is significantly cuter than Ray is I wonder how he managed that pull.
Years ago my wife asked me how her outfit looked?
I told her it was cute. She came unglued "cute is what you say to fat women"!
I told her suck it up chubs, I meant it as a compliment. That was thirty four years ago and I still refuse to fall for THAT trick again. Now I answer "how do you want to look"?
@@azpapa9347 Her: Does this skirt make my butt look big?

Please do a detail video. That yellow would buff out beautifully. I'd love to see the headlights cleaned up as well.

Live stream last night was pretty cool!
Two problems with this vehicle.
#1 It's a Chrysler.
#2 It's a PT Cruiser...
That entire PT Cruiser needs to be rebuilt because even through the video, it was easy to see the entire engine, and everything connected to it was moving.
Oh Yes, the P.T. Cruiser, the latter day Pinto, yet it does not have the decency to burn itself to the ground.
Hilarious comment!
Pintos wouldn't co bust in a rear end collision unless there was an ignitor in the tank. That little fact came out after the fact.
How about painting arches where the lift arms reach on the floor?
Ray, as you will continually notice, it's great to be your own boss. You even get to choose which 16 hours of the day you work. (Been self employed in the building trades and other adventures for nearly 40 years until my latest 20 year business stuck). I wouldn't have it any other way though. I predict great success for you! You've got the right mindset to make it happen.
Great entertainment content bonus coffee footage due to lack of keys ten out of ten for predicting where Wife unit would park and laughing,Wife unit laughing at you at you shouting and running to hide from the PT cruiser. The laughter and time shared together is priceless,great diag/assessment on the PT they were cursed with power steering hose failures early on causing fatal fires but most likely recalled/fixed previously.
Good morning Ray, liked your live feed.
Brake Kleen is always the money shot! Awesome video's as always, Chanting begins "More Live Streams" 🙂
Now that he’s buy his own .. I’m expecting we will see less of it.
I still miss my PT Cruiser---but I do not regret selling it early. That 1st gen 2.0L engine with manual transmission was just so underpowered for that car; it was a pain to drive long-distance. And that was what I was doing at the time...and for many more years to come.
Wife unit "I'm nervous..." You should be, you're listening to Ray! LOL
