NO....Troy is just a young Padawan with limited mechanical working knowledge, with a few years of supervised tutelage from Ray, with continued support he will eventually get there. The fact that he tried his best to maintain his jeeps on his own, shows keen interest and promise that he is willing to learn. I believe Ray recognized that and views Troy as an unpolished diamond with lots of room to shine. Troy started working there only because Ray wasn't looking for a know-it-all
I'm pretty sure Ray decided to try and build a mechanic. Decided that a jeep mechanic was a good start. I mean Troy is still alive, he has 2 of them after all.
44th! GOOD MORNING RAY AND THE WIFE UNIT! Along with TROY, the new mechanic! And the yet unknown new lady helping out in the office! Roger in Pierre South Dakota
That axle having 300k might have something to do with it. If you know how to wheel the Dana 35 can be reliable on 35s I have a buddy that had 37s on his ZJ and he beat that thing hard and it lasted over 4 1/2 years before anything broke
This jeep scenario is humorous yet continues a story line which is pleasing. Possibly known in the future as the Yeti Jeep.. not because its abominable, just because its toast yeti drives it, yeti keeps it, yeti persists with it.Must be a jeep thing. Greetings and salutations from a humble muffler shop in Australia.
No when you weld up one side and add packing to races then fill it with grease yeah had to fix one like that but 4x4 Toyota only cost me a carton of beer and it did have a good motor/great box and a rust free body plenty of dints from off road use but drove 700 miles home interesting on left turns but real good to the right fixed the diff some steering wear and added rear brakes drove a year then sold it for 2500 . Ps I had all the parts needed to fix it so oil filters and gaskets added 34000 miles not a bad profit
Hey just think, life could have been even better. Troy might have been a PT fan instead of a Jeep fan. I'm thinking with the carnage on those side bearings, they may have even damaged the axle housing surfaces.
When Ray was turning the diff by hand, I could see a gap between one of the carrier bearing races and the axle housing surface. It looks like the bearing surfaces in the diff are worn out too.
Troy got hired because Ray seen someone he can build into a true mechanic another one who cares about true diagnostic’s and taking care of the customer instead of ripping them off
My yoga has 400k miles. The roll pin that holds my cross pin broke and let the cross pin come loose. Luckily my cross pin will not come out unless the ring gear is removed so it didn't grenade. The spider gears were worn badly along with the cross pin. The spider had worn into the hardened cross pin. It sounded like a bolt was laying on my rear bumper rattling around when I found it. The case had only worn around .015 so I threw a lock right locker in it with a new cross pin and put it back together. The ring gear and pinion still looked good, I change the rear different fluid often and didnt find metal until the last change. That was winter before last and it's still driving well and the locker is amazing
As soon as you pulled the bolt out of the cross shaft, I knew it was broken and a piece was still in the cross shaft. You should be able to fish it out with a small magnet. BTDT a few times.
I am "old school" and believe that all transmissions should have drain plugs. If you find magnetized drain plug "furry" with metal bits, you KNOW there is trouble inside. And drain plugs encourage people to replace the oils, thus extending transmission/differential/transfer case life.
We keep saying that "It's a Jeep Thing" which may lead one to believe that only Jeep people understand these Jeep things. However I would like to propose a counter argument, that not even Jeep people understand Jeep things, they're just in too deep and don't want to admit defeat so are therefore now simply along for the ride. 😂
From the perspective of a friend with his own shop and off road experience, most are not willing to spend the money to have it done right.... and make poor decisions.
Yes my 405k mile Jeep i daily drive.. Im so defeated. I spent 24k on it 23 years ago and saved so much money versus buying another car. What will i ever do.. just so defeated..
Hi Ray. I was wondering…when you took over the shop space, there were (and still are) a bunch of vehicles in the lot. Every now and then you pull one of them in and work on it. Where did these vehicles come from? Who owns them? All I can imagine is a ton of folks down to one vehicle and their wives nagging them, saying “Did you call Ray yet about when the __________ (fill vehicle type here) will be ready? It’s been two months!” Haha 😂😂😂
My mother had a 1967 Chevrolet Impala 327/300 w/power glide. My mother would drive-in it. , heard a noise coming from the rear end peri took it out for a drive, back street close to the house, at about 45 miles. An hour. The? Whole rear end block show both will stop spending and bag. Leave the street of black tire on the road about a 100' long. Several neighbors came running out of their house, thinking there was a wreck in the road. Called the wrecker took, it in to the decover who pulled the cover off the rear end, and that long retaining pin had come loose and struck the top of the carrier.
Wow, that thing has more slop in it than my 79 Chevy square body rear end they got its first differential fluid change and 2014 with 130,000 miles on original fluid from 1979. Only reason I know that to be true is I got the truck from the original owner Crazy
Several jeeps owned over the lsst decade, 2 Grand Cherokee, ltd and trailhawk. And a 75th anniversary Cherokee. Currently im on a 2001 XJ 50th anniversay model. 130k miles. Mechanically sound, several electrical niggles which all seem to get solved by replacing perfectly good fuses and relays. Clutch grenaded in it 1 month befote christmas 😮 but that might have been the fact it was undersize for thejob, the replacement had a bigger clutch plate. Gives me an average off 22 miles per gallon, so not too bed. Not going to off road it. Its an anniversary edition and in the UK it will reach vintage status. Im going to keep it unmolested and enjoy it as my daily driver.
Good morning everyone I just want to say I really enjoyed this video Ray because I used to deal with a lot of differentials and this one I cannot believe it’s still functioning with all that play . I’m surprised the axle didn’t just shear off and just started to come out. But please make a video on how are you going to overhaul the new differential don’t just switch it out overhaul it please because I got to do this to another truck that I have . Mines a Chevy but they’re almost all are identical in the way they’re put together so that would help me quite a bit as you know. God bless you Ray and your family and your friends and all the viewers on this channel thank you so much for this video look forward to the one that’s coming up.✝️✝️✝️🇺🇸
Its a Jeep thing? I am on my 5th Jeep. I had a Commanche, a Wrangler, a Cherokee, a Patriot, and now a Grand Cherokee. I've had Chevy pick ups, 3 ford pick ups, a Dodge pick up, a ford van, a plymouth van, an AMC hornet, a Renault Encore, a GMC Vandura, 2 toyota pickups, and various other cars. The Jeeps have been the best of all the vehicles. I had over 200K miles on my Wrangler, and the 1988 Commanche, I bought new, is still on the road with the same guy I sold it to. Next to that was the GMC Vandura. I bought the Vandura in 1980 for $700, put $250 into it for tires and a tune up and drove it 9 years putting less than $300 in repairs after the first work. The worst were the 1998 Plymouth van (7 major transmission repairs in 11 months) and the 2 Toyota Trucks. One of the Toyotas was the worst of the worst. I bought it brand new. The entire dash squeaked constantly. Even the radio wouldn't drown it out. One day I'm driving down the road and hit a New England pot hole and the radio fell out of the dash. At 62K miles the main crankshaft bearings seized up...not covered by the warranty. Even with the oil change receipts every 4500-5000 miles the engine had 3/4" thick gunk covering it. Many years later Toyota admitted it was a design flaw. The factory rebuilt engine lasted 12K miles before the block cracked.
A friend had a Jeep Cherokee with about 75,000 on the clock. Right in the middle of a very busy intersection, the gas pedal mechanism completely divorced itself from whatever it was originally married to. As Ray would say, I guess it’s a Jeep Thing.
I own two Patriots, a 2014 and a 2016. The electronic throttle body has died twice on the 2014 (56,000 total miles) and once on the 2016 (62,000 total miles). When it dies you're screwed. Both have the 2.4 engine.
Ray it’s good you have Troy it gives you videos on these project Jeeps. I think you are laughing because they have a lot to work on. Have a Good day. Your videos are alway good
I saw a interesting RUclips video where Ray’s first repair ever was a broken TV and he started out doing electronics repair and vintage furniture restoration before starting to work on cars. 🤔
We either used a Ford 8.8 explorer with disc's and used a wj master or used a tj 44 and welded on spring perches for leaf springs and shock mounts with a new master for the disc brakes.
Wrenching with Kenny had a similar issue and replaced the entire rear end with a junkyard part. When he tried to disassemble the differential to show the carnage it proved to be impossible because the shaft pin was immovable even with an air punch; and in his case the set screw was removed intact.
Ray I worked at Detroit axle for 35 years we built that Differential axle The part that you’re calling a Carrier is actually the case the carrier is what houses everything I’ll wait to remember it is the carrier carries it all the case is what you bought your ring to love watching your videos bud
@@bloodybones63 I was a tool maker maintenance I had a position the heads on the line that cut all the Boers in the differential housing which is called the carrier The case line I worked on that on overtime totally different line for manufacturing and then I work 12 years in Marysville at the ZF plant which was still on by Chrysler for 12 years or we assembled all the newer stuff just retired in 2020
When you pulled that lock pin out I thought it was too short and it had broken. If that was the only problem, it could have been fixed, possibly. But, as you said, that differential is toast. So many things wrong. Surprising it didn't grenade while Troy was driving it. I know I don't have to say about matching the front and rear diff gear ratios, you know that. Other videos have shown that.
Love the "Swamp Water Green" color of that jeep! The Rainman specializes in Jeeps, PT Cruisers, and any other problematic car you can think of. (Some people love a challenge,and are suckers for punishment.)
Can't wait for your videos, fixing these jeeps! You should have 3 channels 1 for off duty (which you have)1 for inspection of vehicles like this one and now add a third one for the actual repairs of vehicles, such as this jeep when you go to repair it, you can make longer videos on that channel, with continuations if needed. I know alot of the channels I'm watching are going to this. They also are calling the 3rd channel real-time. Doesn't have to be live, but the actual footage of said repairs. Just a suggestion.
Welcome to Rainman Ray’s! 🔧 Florida’s Premier Jeep and PT Cruiser Service Center!
Don't forget Nissans! They're the Japanese Chrysler!
Ray is haunted by this crap on four wheels😂😂😂
And as long as he keeps fixing them, even more will come through the door.
Like feeding wild/stray cats more and more show up🤦♂️
We have secretly replaced every vehicle in the lot with Project Jeeps 🚙🚙🚙🚙🚙🚙🚙🚙.

did troy start working there just to get his jeeps the constant repairs they need?
He been working for a month or so. He does work on his jeeps with ray
I think so 🤣🤣
NO....Troy is just a young Padawan with limited mechanical working knowledge, with a few years of supervised tutelage from Ray, with continued support he will eventually get there. The fact that he tried his best to maintain his jeeps on his own, shows keen interest and promise that he is willing to learn. I believe Ray recognized that and views Troy as an unpolished diamond with lots of room to shine. Troy started working there only because Ray wasn't looking for a know-it-all

I would love to find a mechanic of Ray's charecter and Calibre. Thorough diagnosis. Communication and repair.
We're all watching Jeeps in their natural habitat...on a lift in a repair bay.
Amen to that. I owned one jeep in my life and that's exact;ly where it spent most of its life.

That is what happens when you put over sized tires on too small an axle. those size wheel and tire should be a dana 44 or 60 not a 30 or 35.
Yep, that is a tiny little axle for those huge tires.
Amen
That axle having 300k might have something to do with it. If you know how to wheel the Dana 35 can be reliable on 35s I have a buddy that had 37s on his ZJ and he beat that thing hard and it lasted over 4 1/2 years before anything broke
Pretty sure those tires are running on a Chrysler 8.25", not a Dana 35.

Better off pulling one from a junkyard if the spare is toast too
I love lifted trucks with big tires. Ok maybe love isn’t the right word.
But we can make money on them, if they have any left after the mods.
Troy got hired because Ray seen someone he can build into a true mechanic another one who cares about true diagnostic’s and taking care of the customer instead of ripping them off
Everybody loves to pick on Jeeps, but I don't know of many other vehicles that can take the abuse and lack of maintenance and yet refuse to die.
4th! Thank you Ray for all you do.
Everything is a hammer if you use it wrong enough!
The joy of life, it's never boring for long. Gotta love a challenge.
This has to be a 1K + repair on a 300K Jeep. No, just no.
That is toast...
I myself would put a Dana 44 in it. The 8 1/4 is basically a Dana 35. Those tires are too much for that axle.
It's always pathetic when people do aftermarket mods that decimate the vehicle.
@@fredharvey2720 the Dana 44 axle is the heavy duty factory axle. They came in these bodies from factory.
@@thejeepdoctor the 44 came in the zj grand cherokee,, tho have seen many transplanted into xj cherokee

I've owned 3 Jeeps, all Grand Cherokees and LOVED THEM! I've been driving my company vehicle, a Nissan Frontier but I'm finally looking another JEEP.
If Jeep people keep bringing their vehicles in, It pays the bills & keeps you amused plus your subscribers.
I think Troy's Jeeps are non paying "after hours" entertainment projects.
Hello Ray - hope you had yourself a great day! Dave Birmingham England
Good morning Ray! I like the idea of melding 2 Jeeps together to get one!
Don't do it! The problems multiply, not add!
Our situation will not improve...
As soon as you pulled the bolt out of the cross shaft, I knew it was broken and a piece was still in the cross shaft. You should be able to fish it out with a small magnet. BTDT a few times.

New Carrier , ring and pinion, all new bearings and seals
... if the bearings did not trash the housing.
@@desotosky1372 100% Looks like it too me.
Grab an 8.8 out of an Explorer. It comes with better carrier, ring and pinion, and bearings and seals.

Have I missed a video on the cool looking yellow and black car that's always teasing us in the car park, or will Ray make one on it ?
I'd say pick one jeep and get that one running I love jeeps myself
Good evening from Australia. LOL only just finished watching the Cam Sensor NISSAN. Cool more car stuff.

Hi Ray. I was wondering…when you took over the shop space, there were (and still are) a bunch of vehicles in the lot. Every now and then you pull one of them in and work on it.

HAHAHAHAHAHA...(for real...)
He shares a building with a body shop, and I think some of those vehicles - the PT Cruisers - belong to that shop.
Been there, did that, do not recommend.
Multiple businesses share the lot. I think the body shop also runs a tow business.
Ray rents his shop space from a body shop owner so some of those cars are from the body shop.

Back in the last century when I was a teenager I used to do my clutch's and rear ends that a way until I got tired of paying for the cost of repair!
My mother had a 1967 Chevrolet Impala 327/300 w/power glide. My mother would drive-in it. , heard a noise coming from the rear end peri took it out for a drive, back street close to the house, at about 45 miles. An hour. The?

If you replace it with the same size axel and keep those tires on it will do the same thing.
Frankenjeep FTW! 🏆
Looks like the housing is shot with that much radial play at the bearings. Housing material much softer than bearing races.

Bigger tires and a few more neutral drops will put that in the place it needs.
Maybe you might consider putting a "Yukon" rear end in that. It would last longer than the rest of the vehicle, in Florida.

You should have 3 channels 1 for off duty (which you have)1 for inspection of vehicles like this one and now add a third one for the actual repairs of vehicles, such as this jeep when you go to repair it, you can make longer videos on that channel, with continuations if needed. I know alot of the channels I'm watching are going to this. They also are calling the 3rd channel real-time. Doesn't have to be live, but the actual footage of said repairs.
Just a suggestion.
What is the yellow Daytona car in the yard Castor Troy and Rainman Ray and is it part of your collection of projects.
Thanks again Ray that's interesting 👍
