You should be proud of what you and wife unit have done. Started your own shop, Expanded your own shop. Hired new employees and entertained all of us during the whole process. Great job, Ray!!! keep it up 👍
The who process? whole... 🤣
@@cw3339 fat fingers and brain fog
Ray is not mortal.
I thought that was troy girlfriend.
Totally agree
Kudos to Troy on the great job on the walls. It really makes the shop look sooo much better!
And more bright!
And Troys girlfriend Amaya and the wife unit for also helping.
Now he needs to paint those girders white!
wall cleaned with brake cleaner😂
I wouldn’t worry too much about “paint chemicals” when you use brake clean as an air freshener.😁
Faaacts 🤣🤣🤣
They're ok as long as no one starts eating the paint chips , lol .
Forget the smell of brake cleaner, you just can’t beat the smell of Napalm, first thing in the morning.
Well it isn't lead based.
@@Laugh1ngboy It was a joke . I don't believe anyone there will be eating paint chips off of the floor .
The fact that you're paying attention to the atmosphere of your shop is yet another testament to your dedication to good, quality work. Drab & dreary workplace contributes to drab & dreary work. Bright & positive is the path to continued success!!
LOL, it's not a coal mine, it's a garage. Who cares if the walls are dingy? Working on cars is a hot, uncomfortable, dirty business. Dirty walls are the least of the issue.
Kudos Troy and Amaya! The shop is looking very much better!
Love the, "Does the 710 cap point in the right direction?" And Troy was onto it!.
Cheers to Troy, he seems like an excellent employee!🎉. As always, great video Ray!
@@wza223-fo3mcdude that’s you & you don’t know what their agreement is. If you don’t like the channel then trip on out like a damn adult. All you’ve done is shitpost & dunk on Troy. Grow up.
Troy most bosses give the new guy a broom and then watch how well they sweep the workshop floor if they just sweep the area around the trollies and cupboards then they know he won't be good but if he sweeps under everything to make the workshop clean then the boss knows he will probably be a good keen worker so don't worry about being given cleaning jobs mate.
a clean shop is a happy shop
Ahh, the 710 cap in proper orientation, the force is strong with this one 👍 awesome group effort making the shop presentable! It goes a long way when it comes to customer impressions.👊
Troy and his woman did an amazing job, wow. Your empire is coming together wonderfully, Ray! Congrats! I love it when a plan comes together!
Is this a confirmed "ship" though?
Great job everyone!! Troy an wife, never look at anything you do there in a negative way, because no matter what you do you're a great part of the company. Always take pride in everything no matter the task, because you can look back and say "I did that" with pride and happiness! The care and love that you ALL have for the shop makes me feel proud and sure that when the time comes and I can become a customer in the future, that I'll have no worries at all to trust all of you with my vehicle!!
Great teamwork across the board!
Well done all 👏
Liked the dramatic music. It paired nicely with the action.
The guys are doing a great clean up job! They are worth their weight in salary! :-)
@@wza223-fo3mcerrm no, but I'm sure that keeping the place clean would be in the job description.
@wza....
the company isn't union.
@@wza223-fo3mcLooking for work?
@@wza223-fo3mcWow. So you're the guy who won't do anything at work that's not explicitly spelled out in his job description? I wouldn't hire you. That's for sure. Especially in a small start-up!
@@wza223-fo3mc 1. I doubt Troy's making $7/hr. 2. Pretty sure he's been there longer than a month. 3. If you equate your value with the number on your paycheck, I not only wouldn't hire you, I don't want to do business with anyone who would.
We long time fans are so emotionally invested that I am SO GLAD to see that you are doing this. Physical environment is so important to one's mental health and sense of peace and calm and well being. Plus you're 🤏this close to something you can really be proud of! Are you going to use anything on the rusty looking "shelves", like some kind of rust inhibitor/sealer? That would make a huge difference too.
You could help your team out by buying a few gallons of 30 second cleaning solvent. It works on vinyl, siding, even on painted cement block. I use it yearly to clean all of my vinyl fencing. Spray it on, let it do the work, then rinse it off. You'll probably need a few applications in the current state of the walls, but it beats scrubbing. If haven't already done so, give it a try. Your team will love for it, love you even more.
Good morning, glad to see the shop coming together.
7th! GOOD MONDAY MORNING RAY AND THE WIFE UNIT! And another SHOUTOUT to the VERY IMPORTANT two new employees! Roger in Pierre South Dakota
Thanks for addressing the idea of switching of the two lifts it was a question I had been asking myself, clearly you were on top fo it.
Troy and Mia did an amazing job so far, your business has come along way and with the help of the wife unit. Hope you get to a million subs soon.
Been watching for at least 2 or 3 years. So proud of you.
Walls definitely don't need to be painted by the looks of it... but you should deffo paint those trusses, a blue similar to the lifts would really tie in everything and will up the looks of the shop 100%.
I was thinking of white paint everywhere to increase the amount of light.
@@LEXXIUS The walls will not catch dirt easily, but those vertical running trusses will... painting those white will make them looking gray and grimy very quickly.
I feel the clean walls reflect the shop lights better for more lumens.
Nice to see this truck getting fixed up and not replaced!
Can't wait to see the finished shop transformation.
There are so many people who just don't care about how things look at work. I love a nice looking clean and organized area.
Congrats to Mya for doing a great job helping Troy cleaning the walls. Tough dirty job but the results are amazing!
Great to see new people in the shop starting to look like you have to expand 👍🇬🇧
The slomo oil flow from the differential with music was cinematic! You, Ray, are a movie maker!
The walls look great! I do miss the dee doo phone rings..
So true
It's great to be watching you at work again.
Ray, just got home from the hospital yesterday and, as you can imagine, after being injected to pump this fluid in, and again to pump a different fluid out, kinda like what you are doing but them doing it with me hurts !!
But I get unpacked and settled in then I get settled into Rainman Rays.
I don’t think that you and your family/staff, (you don’t use their names often enough so that I can use their names) how relaxing, calming your program is . AND not having watched for a few days, I have a very pleasant backlog to catch up with !!
So, to all of you, from the bottom of my heart, thank you so very much!
Very sincerely,
Rod Fair
Good lighting makes it a lot easier to work. Mine is lit up like a hospital room
I am often (continually?) impressed by your insight/knowledge and your ability to explain how/why you are repairing, or not, sitchiations 😂 that present themselves. I have forgotten... how long have you been doing this ? Also - shout out to your cleaning crew for their 'extra' contributions to the garage area. It's Noticeably improved the appearance. Oh, and thanks for explaining the lift(s) arrangement. I don't think I knew you didn't own the first two.
Slalom the corner of death threw the door of doom to the lift. Just makes me smile hearing Ray talk about his shop. 😊.
One of my Work Trucks was an 05 Silverado 2500 4x4.... Loved it. Might have been my favorite work truck I ever had....
Ray just has improved this shop property so much that he needs get his own shop property to improve as he likes.
It's always hard when you move into new premises and you have loyal customers that always want you to repair there cars you never get time to put things where you want to put them are garage has only just had parts racks just put in and battery stand we have been there 7yrs
OUTSTANDING call on the tire rotation Ray!! SO many people don't understand that rotation pattern, or the 4x4/all wheel drive pattern (when it's necessary). Never mind the dually and some of the full size spare rotation. It just seems that folks don't get it or they're not taught how to properly rotate and take care of their customers tires. So it's great to see that not only do you know it. You're willing to take the time to do it and teach Troy how and why to rotate tires correctly.
It looks way better
Yeah those clean walls look sooo much better, a lot of hard work but it looks good
It's so cool, looks like the team work WILL make the dream work! Scored large on the crew.
Ray: "2 to go".
Everyone: "Thank goodness Rays Wife does the book keeping as Ray apparently can not count"
Troy is doing a great job on This Episode @Rainman Ray's Repairs
33:05 lololol 🤣, you remind me of a buddy of mine. He would slap the roof of the vehicle from the passenger seat while you were backing up. The driver hears the bang and slams on the brake pedal thinking that they just backed into something. Hahaha He got me good with that one.
Thank you Ray for stating that you haven't forgotten about the wire nut problem, it's been driving me nuts since the first video!! Lol
I learned something today.
Reading through all of the comments, I couldn't help but notice suggestions and recommendations on the use of different types of brushes, cleaning solutions, paint and epoxy.
People need to realize, while everything looks nice and shiny during slow times, it still costs money . Even by just using water alone it costs money in hourly salary, nobody is paying Ray to have the shop cleaned. It's a scary time when you see cleaning going on and no money coming in. I'd rather see dirty and busy than clean and poor.
his $ comes from RUclips.
@@forgetfulme1719
I have my doubts the amount of YT revenue generated even comes close to paying Ray's monthly bills.
Paying shop rental, house mortgage, employee salaries, utility bills in both places,
fuel, groceries, consumables, is money going out. If Ray can make it through 5 years, he got a good chance to succeed
Looks like the Wear on the ring gear is From the Pre load being loose on the Pinion Gear 22:00 @Rainman Ray's Repairs
still remember when you first showed us this place, lots of great progress
If there’s a reconditioned axle available, with a warranty, that’s definitely the way to go. It would be different if it was your own truck, but for a customer, it makes sense to let another shop take the risk and get the customers vehicle back on the road faster, especially if the price is in the same ball park. Most customers far prefer today over sometime next week.
The surface condition of the axle is what takes it over for new. Then spray some film rust inhibitor when done to give it a long life. That would match the new backing plates on the brakes.
I'd also be happy if someone can locate one out of a wrecked vehicle. Rear sets are like a clock, so many miles and the wear is there. A rear end with 60k, add new wheel bearings, and then new oil should last a long long time, probably way past the rest of that trucks life....
Reconditioned axle? Unless a low mileage axle from a low mileage vehicle, new bearings and seals but used ring and piñon gear what some shops would call reconditioned/rebuilt. Too much work to use used gears. Up to the owner what they want to spend on their vehicle.
Tell you what, that one side of the building looks great now. Well done.
When you started fighting the rusty diff cover bolts, I had to check to make sure this wasn’t an Eric O video 😂
I was going Ray, I hope the fill plug comes out! 😢😮
u see 12 cars sitting outside Eric's shop like a junk yard?
If you Epoxy the floors your shop will look so dope and the cleanup will be so much easier.
Now you have a whole "Shiny Shop" super tranformation!
I keep the fluids up in rear axels, transfer cases, and transmission. I only changed transmission fluid in my new te62 dodge automatic. It looked horrible when purchasing car. Changed out twice and looks and runs good. Dark as used engine oil full of clutch material. Seems still good 3 1/2 years later. Just proves if you change the oil before symtoms it keeps running well.
Good on you for teaching your hire why you rotate the tires in certian ways. Keep up the good work and glad to see your shop expanding. Uh oh Troy spoke, now you gotta pay him for a speaking part on the episode. 🤣
I did the drivetrain fluids on my 96 Nissan Navara the other day. Known as a hardbody over there. It's a 4wd 2.7L 4 cylinder turbo diesel. When I did the rear diff I filled it with diesel and spun it up and ran through all the gears with it on stands to flush it out. Figured it'd be good enough. Got over 260,000ks so thought I'd better do it since it's now become my daily
Garage is looking great! Kudos all.
I like the suspense added with the background music! You need to make a new episode with this suspense aspect.
A clean shop represents attention to quality, detail, and expertise. It will impress customers to want to return and will add to customer recommendations and pass along info.
what a difference! Lighter and better work environment. Customers will subconsciously see the bright work area and immediately get a positive impression. That really is a thing.
Ray loving all the recent content and updates. Not as much love for the music beds that have crept in.
Slightly excessive in this video, yes. Normally OK though.
yea that music made it unbearable today. watched most of the video muted
Agreed, the music somehow made me feel anxious,
With that grime off the walls, your lighting seems so much brighter.
Do not forget to look at the cabin air filter. Sounds odd but an ols filter would harm A/C cooling as well.
Great catch, that part didn't even cross my mind
Some older gm trucks didn’t come wit cabin air filter unless modified. Considering modifications to our 2006 GMC 2500
Yeah this probably doesn't have a cabin filter.. which means the evaporator could be dirty or blocked.. normally the symptoms would be it isn't blowing enough
Ray your a silly boss trying to get Troy to fall for that old tapping action.lol😅.keep up the grate work and information that you give us on these repairs.
Troy's doing a hell of a good job and whom ever else is helping looks great nice and bright.
That truck would be like GOLD up here, Ray!
WE need to sell some of them up here!
Hey Ray. Subscriber from northern Alberta (Canada) here. Been watching a lot of your vids and it has given me the info I needed to get my AC working again while on the side of the road. Knowing the pressures required etc has been very useful. Thank you.
love the back ground music!!!🥰
I appreciate your diligence and professionalism. You go the extra mile and check on things most mechanics in my area do not. Your videos also give me the confidence to ask additional questions when I bring my vehicles in for service.
I love the dramatic music and it’s awesome to see the shop coming along. You’re making the most out of your business and as a business owner (from a long line of business owners), it’s great to see how far it has come in a short period of time and how much happier you seem without all the doo-dee-doos.
I'm the opposite, I find the music distracting. Sorry.
@@conleeclampitt2961 that’s okay. You’re not me. You can feel differently. No apologies needed.
I’m listening to dramatic music while writing this.
Inappropriately dramatic music is hilarious. Also Halloween sound effects tapes. I like to play those when I’m beatin’ it in the shower.
never before have I listened to cello music in a shop
@@davenowicki3112 Cool. I can't do anything about that.
Let Ray be Ray because Ray's gonna Ray.
I did my part last week. I changed oil and filter on both Patriots, replaced all of the brake pads and rotated tires. It's summer and the Driveway Garage is open!
Way back in 1974, I replaced the rear axle in a 1967 Charger with the one from a wrecked 1968 Coronet. Done in the apartment parking lot. No power tools, just a 3/8" Bernz-O-Matic socket set and a few Crescent wrenches.
The "good old days"...
The dramatic music playing in the background is keeping me on the edge of my seat I'm waiting to see something bad happen especially when you pulled diff cover lmao
Looks like Troy is becoming an asset for your business,, You will probably have another technician working for you soon now that you have expanded your shop, You have done a lot in just a short time,, Very impressive,,, :-)
Great video As always @Rainman Ray's Repairs
OMG. Troy has done a fantastic job of cleaning those walls. So much brighter. WOW. looks beautiful, no need for new paint.
A clean environment can be a happy environment
Wow shop walls look a ton cleaner compared to the walls that are still dirty 1:01 looks good Ray @Rainman Ray's Repairs
Theme music for oil flow, love it! 😁
When we had our business at our parents house working on race bike we had a really nice 30 by 50 shop and every Saturday we would work half day and clean up and organize.
Welcoming back!
some people wouldnt like a mechanic that doubles as a youtuber but if someone had video documentation from start to finish of servicing my vehicle i would be thrilled.
Shop is looking awesome with the greasy, nastiness removed from the walls.
Ray you and your team are doing a fantastic job!! Keep on keeping on!!
Woo Hoo starting my week right with some Rain Man Ray!!
I love the background music. Great video, Ray ❤
Love to see Troy in the videos, keep it up Ray
Not had to use my air-con for a few weeks, 15C (59F) here in the middle of summer here in the West Midlands of the UK and It's rained almost every day for over a month. Thanks for all the great videos.
Hey Ray, youll3really appreciate the cleaner walls in there because it will make the whole shop brighter and more pleasant to work in. Not to mention the odd time a customer stops in and the place looks much nicer. Cheers!
Nice touch with music background
Ray, since you said that in your last video I got into my car after working on ASPHALT and when I turned on my AC all I heard was your voice and looked at my dash to see 105 DEGREES ( I am in the dirty dirty south). It was not cold is all I will say.
Greetings from Hawaii. You’re the reason why I get up early in the morning to enjoy the show. The show must go on!
Ray, I noticed that you do not have a street sign informing the public of the location of the garage. I know people do appointments via the internet but wouldn’t business increase with a sign? Click! We may get some sign gravity 😂😂😂
REEEEE I'm here for the dramatic instrumentals in the background 😂
Nice selection on that zep industrial cleaner 👌 top tier. Best cleaner I've ever used on the boat
Both of your employees are doing a great job! The shop looks so much better and that has a positive mental affect. It also looks much brighter in there. If you ever do decide to paint the walls make sure you use a primer that promotes adhesion or the top coat will flake and peel.
Are any repair shops down there air conditioned?
I wish we were in the 90s, been over 110* over a couple weeks. Saw 117* on Saturday.
Ray, you know what would look fantastic in there is the floor painted a light gray to seal it and make it easier to clean up.
Always a pleasure to watch you and erick o work.
