Ray sees a near pristine New York vehicle…” this is gnarly and must go”
Eric O… “ hold my beer…”
Yeah, Eric O fixing the suspension on a clapped out Subaru is what you need to watch after this
@@ccmoos Seen it, then done it. It was gnarly.
That's a decent truck for our area too. Lots of salt water and air down here on the east coast of Md and Va. Eric O is definitely laughing at the "on its last leg" statement
It actually is on it's last leg, unless you're insane and like to drive a total rotbox that has it's drivetrain fall out or your seat fall through the floorpan.. both if which I've seen happen in person
If this was my truck... It would not be my truck. I've owned two fords in my life. Both were money pits. If I was "Pete", I'd park it and part it out.
That poor truck says don’t fix me. Let me go to car heaven!
I was thinking the exact same thing. If I were in Ray's shoes I would just say "Sorry, this truck is not worth fixing" and politely decline service.
Ray says, let me squeeze some last dough before that.
Some people don't want to buy a new car they keep them until its nothing but a rusted out shell
Or fix it enough to be roadworthy while implementing a serious plan for another truck.
@@ozzierabbit587 find a good body truck with blown engine...
9:05 Ray, those are Crane Flies. Also commonly called Mosquito Hawks. Despite the name, they do not hunt mosquitoes and they can't bite. I believe they're eternally doomed to circle porch lights.
Sorry you are very mistaken, that bug is a single engine hybrid swamp hopper(genus-ugli-buggious-giganticious) Relative to the May Fly which may fly or it may not. This one prefers to ride in rusty Fords and feed on surface rust. It's a native to the Florida swamp and is solely responsible for wiping out an entire species of the 4 toed-razor back Sloth that used to roam the wetlands, plains and suburb's of Florida's pan handle and is why they went instinct today.
Here in the UK we call them 'daddy long-legs'! Yes, crane fly!
They are called blind mosquitoes
@bernardcromarty485 Daddy Long Legs, really Granddaddy Long Legs but people often leave the Grand part off, aren't a flying bug here. They look like spiders with really long, hair thin legs and a round body about the size of a lentil. Fortunately, they're not spiders because some can be 4 inches across when they spread out. And that's too big for a spider.
@@fartzinacan They are however, excellent Trout food. Cranefly patterns are quite effective when the hatch is on.
A mechanic in Dallas once told me they have specially designed high quality gravel roads that conscientious drivers bring their prized vehicles to aggressively drive to knock off under car rust.
Dallas vehicles don’t rust tho’
@@emmettturner9452because of the “specially designed high quality gravel road” maybe? 😅
@@Jmg831 Dallas vehicles don’t rust because Texas vehicle don’t rust. Texas vehicles don’t rust because southern vehicles don’t rust. The rust on that truck is from regularly salted roads in “rust belt” states. :)
@@emmettturner9452 oh ok thank you for the info ;)
The dog had that look like go away you're embarrassing me 😂
Luna doesn’t like the city. lol. She yearns for the pond.

What a morning, Rainman Ray, South Main Auto, and Pine Hollow Auto Diagnostic with in an hour
Yeah, my favorites too.
@OldFatBubba that was a wonderful surprise
Hopefully I,ll get added to that list in a year or two....
Customer states,major brake issues
Mechanic states please randomly shift gears while I climb under this truck with major brake issues. 😂
😅😅😅
What a morning. A rainman rays video and southmain auto with in seconds of each other
Up here in Canada, we have a 'Conspiracy Theory' that says the auto dealerships subsidize the highway department de-icing, to include sand in the salt mixture. The sand is to wear away the paint protecting the body, so the salt can get to work! Rusted out cars = new car sales!
needs to sell new cars to keep economy prosper.
Not so much now that they are mandating EVs. EVs are a joke in places with wide open spaces.
@@johncooper4637 Not gonna happen. The impracticality of such vehicles for 90% of the population is enormous. Once the salt sand eats away at one of these jokes on wheels, they are basically garbage.
Ray Eric O turned that job down so Pete brought the truck to you! 😂
Ray does anything as long as customer has $.
Even while using one hand this man can use a blinker. Thank you
Exactly that snippet insert from tech talk ,extreme caution should be used when putting rusted frame vehicles on the rack
You missed a perfect opportunity while Dave was at lunch… “Dave’s not here!”
that overgrown mosquito is a crane fly. completely harmless, thank God
Don't they eat mosquitoes?
No
@@ProToolsApprovedI believe they do
Baby pterodactyl would be bad 😎
@@ProToolsApprovedthey can cause brown spots in your yard
Looks like a trip to the scrap heap would be the best result. ! 😅🤣😂
On the bright side my guess is that this is the last brake job that "Ferd" is ever gonna need.
@@johnfbmI have seen trucks far worse than this on the road.
@@jamessowards3822 Sure and I've seen worse too - doesn't mean this one will out last those brake pads.
In Pennsylvania, that truck would be in better condition than half the trucks I pass on the road every day, at least the frame is still pretty solid. People go ape crap when their truck fails an annual safety inspection due to rust. They then go find a shady practices garage and pay for a "lick it and stick it" inspection.
Its a ford. It was ready for the scrap yard the day it left the dealership
It never ceases to amaze me what kind of scrap metal people drive around in...unbelievable
So cool to see “wife unit” Lauren starting the transition to “Rain Woman!” Just a matter of time now!!
Living up here in the “rust belt” , and having many farms around , farm trucks are everywhere. It is typical. To have any brand truck used of a farm to be well rusted before its’ time . The junk they drive through will eat the metal very fast . Between the fertilizer., animal waste , both kinds , the automotive world offerings just don’t stand a chance . Good job Ray , also good to see wife unit learning more about your end of the shop .stay safe , have fun .
Truck eating bacteria?
Doesn’t matter how rough it is, safety is safety. The driver wouldn’t only be risking their neck, they’d be risking every other driver on the road. Decision to repair was correct 👍
Just remember that when you are in your safe vehicle traveling freely down the road....this truck is on the same roads putting you in jeopardy.
Those are deck screws, Pete has higher standards than just drywall screws.
I made a similar comment.
Ahhhhhh, Another great video by Rainman Ray's Repairs!!! 👩🦳
Mechanic and Scholar Ray, thanks for narrations
Very visual example of the "Northern Rust" you talk about..also on the brake line being frozen. I'd imagine the techs up there get used to it. Thanks for the great video on the "Ferd" brake job. And for the beautiful Lauren/Wife Unit cameo - and a Dave shot too. 😊
Best of luck. I pray you return back safely to shop .❤
Thanks brother I needed the Ace Ventura reference. My Blood pressure is stupid high lately I'm getting really worried about my health and I really needed a good laugh. God bless you man !
I'm right there with you bud, same problem. Ray for the win!
Yall get that treated asap.
High bp can cost you your vision.
Best of luck.
u need to learn from truck owner and Ray, no worry, be happy.
If you are coughing some clear sort of liquid there is fluid in your lungs.
This makes it hard for blood to transit through and really boosts your blood pressure.
A diuretic is needed then, not blood pressure medicine.
My friend had this for a long time, his heart enlarged and he was close to heart failure before it was diagnosed.
@@wayneessar7489 That's exactly what is happening, I wake up every morning coughing clear crap up from my lungs, but just been to weak to do anything lately. I'm going try to make it to the clinic on Friday if I don't need the emergency room lol . ty for the info man It really makes perfect sense. I really feel like some oxygen would help. I definitely do not drink enough water and I get really dehydrated, I'm taking care of my elderly mother and I forget to take care of myself most of the time.
Giant Mosquitos are called Crane Flies or sometimes Mayflies. They're harmless.
I love when you have the wife unit help you she's so cool she she gets right in there and checks everything out
CPR and hoses, gotta love Fords😢
No worries, I'm sure Ford will be more than willing to sell you a new truck for $70,000 + dollars.
I feel sorry for this owner and I am dealing with the same thing on a Dodge Ram, total junk!
Ray I just had a 2013 toyota kluger/ highlander come to me with the exact same issue. I had the same opinion and you just confirmed it! Cheers mate for your videos from Australia
Nicely done Ray!
Thanks for the video Ray, good to see shop dog and wife unit 😀. That looks like a misquote hawk which if it is, it's good to have around.
I think you misquoted the name of the bug, it's a mosquito hawk.😎😎
This truck looks like it's from Eric O's COUNTRY with all the oxidation under that truck. SCARY!!!!!
Thank you.
WIFE UNIT FTW!!! Good catch Lauren! 😂😂😂😂 damn drywall screws.
Great job ray!!! Thanks again. Lauren thank you for your mandatory video appearence!!! Always a pleasure maam.
CPR - Calipers, Pads, and Rotors. Love the acronym!
Awesome video Ray
What a great job you did on them breaks and it was nice seeing the wife unit so say hi to her from us❤
Good morning to all. Ray’s “Stopping better, before stopping forever video!” Poor old Ford. It will have the best front brakes in the junkyard. It wants to go home to Wilber’s and star in a SMA video too! Cheers to all. -KB
Ray, thanks for the tip on tapping the bolt to compress the crush washers.
Ray battery azize is the funniest thing i have ever heard from anyone other than myself,you really crack me up ,thanks always love your video,GO RAY GO
I had a neighbor who hit a bump on a back road while driving his old rusted out truck. The bounce separated the cab from the frame, he lost control and he ran into the ditch. The crash knocked out 4 of his front teeth. He was lucky that's all that happened.
You can use that brake line trick on rear drum wheel cylinders as well. Unbolt the wheel cylinder and spin it off the line. Standard operating procedure here in Canada where the line fittings never turn. Learned it when I was a kid.
The brake clean queen.
Excellent backing skills.
So glad there is a compulsory annual inspection in the UK. This truck would have been off the road years ago ! Nice work.
This was either a northern truck originally, or it was in a storm surge zone or went on saltwater boat ramps at some point in its life.
soon all Florida will be under storm surge.
The train in front of the one honking is still texting after light tuned green 😎
Love the follow the yellow brick road talk..
Infinitely restorable.
When we moved to Florida from Ohio I had a friend bring down my 2002 F250. Once it got here, first drive the front right caliper seized. Next drive, rear brake line blew. 3rd drive it made the trip to Lowes and back before the rear tank strap broke.
By a new strap, no problem to fix. Go to remove the bed since that is pretty easy and helps when replacing the straps. Realized the only thing holding the bed on was the spray on bed liner. Everything else had rusted away. 😞
RIP beautiful 7.3.
You are a good man i learn from you ray thank you you’re friend Thomas Krakowski I have a Chevy truck thank you ray❤
This was a “Very Good Video” you exhibited many techniques that surely were acquired over many years. Of course Wife Unit was integral for the success.
I like the train horn. It's better than the phone ringing.
Thanks!
and thank you too!
Yikes! What a rusty bucket! At least it can stop now.... 😂
Good job ray good tip to remove the brake hose ,top man 👍👌🔧🔧🔧❤️
The truck is textbook definition to the word drive it till it drops!! And it's going to drop at any time!!! That truck is definitely beyond fixing!!😮 That is a vehicle that has never been maintenanced!!
It's Fitz like a glove I knew you were going to say that Ray lol 😂😂😂
My 98 Ford E250 I live in uses very same rotors and calipers and pads the caliper bracket bolts are 22mm and the slid pin bolts are 13mm I'm still on the new calipers and pads and rotors and bearings I did last year still working pretty damn well
Crane flies (Tipuloidea) are actually beneficial, as their larvae help recycle organic waste. There is a mosquito species that's nearly that big though, called a Gallinipper (Psorophora ciliata). So big they have numbers painted on them.
Yup. They also like to fight over which one gets to carry you off!
oh hey, my teacher taught me if you have the rod that you press on brake pedal a tiny bit ( till brake lights turn on) then have rod stay up against seat you will stop the flow of fluid coming out. of course make sure to keep battery charged. was a great little tip. they had the right tool to adjust length up to seat and pedal.. anyway sure you knew about this.... love the vids man.
I'm not an expert on those but I believe those are star bit deck screws they have a copper zinc coating on them so they don't rust/corrode easily. Drywall screws typically do not and are a Phillips pattern bit
Came here to say this.
GOOD JOB
>don't run me over.
Lauren [thinking...]
"Did I make the insurance premium payment this month?"
@@CraigGrant-sh3in Or "We might need to increase that policy".
Great job Ray! If I was closer, you would be my mechanic!
Crane flies are also called mosquito eaters. They don’t bite humans😎
Like the way you incorporated the boss into the script. Dresses up your videos. LOL
Its nice that you show metric measurements too 🙂
Holy Rust!
Loved the Azi LIGHT clip from 5th Element movie
Lauren is a good sport.
ray you can loosen the end of the brake line. I take the hose off the way you did. then I heat the end of the fitting and line so there red hot and then I hit it with some kind of penetrating oil while turning the nut and the line usually frees up. I've had very good luck with this method over the years of working on seized brake lines.
Yelp..
Love the videos Ray. You did not mention the axle seals dangling.
That hose removal was impressive. Use the frozen flare nut to spin the hose out. Very nice.
Welcoming back!
You can use a wrench to hold the frozen hard line while using another wrench across the flats of the hose to align them without twisting the hard line.
I used to do use that frozen flair nut trick on wheel cylinders back in the day.
Rainman Ray.. Cool video. That ones ready for junk yard cause it does not still feel like a new corvette. Wait.. what? Anyway I spilled my coffee when you said "you need a bigger one that goes deeper".. 😂😂
Hey my friend had an old jeep used strictly for firewood gathering up north, it was so rusty he welded the doors shut so it would not fold in half.
I got a 07 F250 that looks like that. Front of bed is gone. Cab mounts are ok, but not great. But frame, trans and that oh so wonderful 6.0 is in good shape.
It still has backing plates it's mint
As an ex Ford mechanic in the north east, that truck is in mint condition! Hell you'd probably condem my truck, 94 suburban, tiny spot in the frame that's bad up front by the bumper mount, still fixable but not going to, by the time it gets bad, I'd be driving something else.
Good diagnosis by Loren at 23:08
You are never too old for a new pair of shoes.
Cab mount BUSHINGS... and the bolts will come out. (With an impact) The "mounting points" are still ok.
It's so hysterical to see Ray's reaction to the NORMAL that we see EVERY DAY.
I love your videos
that thing is toast
Wahoo! Like a glove! From Mr Corner of Death! Nice Ray nice.👍🤣🤣
That's a beautiful color for me
Great video as always! Maybe next time I am at Disney World, I will take a day to drive down and say "Good day to you!"
Wife unit is gorgeous
You guys need an annual mot inspection, i was a tester, it's amazing how many new friends you get too!
Those windshields really fit nicely with each other..
I'm from Ohio and that truck looks pretty good.
Nothing a little fluid film can't fix.
