It's amazing the lengths Ray will go to just to have us watch an oil change video...well played Sir, well played indeed!
I was laughing my ass off after the 3rd time he made a joke with no break in tone. For all the non electrical tech inclined people that watched the full video, I salute you.
I was confused there for a minute as to what this car's problem was...
It was legit hard to tell when you were actually diagnosing vs trolling us. Well done
At the 2:15 mark when the touchy feely timey wimey started.
My thoughts exactly
I wouldn't exactly call it trolling.
He’s trolling guys you can tell
Ray was pulling our proverbial leg.
Years back I worked on a DeLorean. After driving it a bit to troubleshoot some issues, I came to the conclusion that time travel wasn't the most unbelievable part of the Back to the Future franchise. That title goes to getting a DeLorean up to 88 mph. They're a cool car, but seriously underpowered.
Back in the 90s a friend had a DMC12, which I did a lot of work on. It was mix of parts from different manufacturers, and reliability was shocking. The engine was garbage, the gearbox was garbage, the suspension was actually pretty good being Lotus based.
It was a seriously underpowered car, but looks amazing.
The one I worked on used to have a habit of not starting after a trip to the pub. It was amazing how many patrons of the pub would say, "it's the flux capacitor mate", as they walked past while I had my head under the engine cover.
@@johnnodge4327 weird. That's exactly the problem I was chasing. Turns out there's a spring loaded plunger in the fuel control unit that shuts when the car is turned off. It's supposed to keep pressure in the system to avoid vapor lock, but the o-ring sealing it frequently goes bad due to poor deburring in the passage. I second the handling though. It really did handle well and I always loved the looks.
I had a similar experience with one that was only a couple of years old and I agree the only way to get that car to 88mph was to drive it off a high cliff.
My older brother was a mechanic at an exotic auto dealership in Michigan, he did a few engine swaps they installed LS motors to give them more power. But the transmission was still garbage.
@@Nick-nm8om I think they would have been better served with a turbocharged 4 cylinder, honestly. Lighten up the chassis by getting rid of the PRV v6 boat anchor.
Great video Ray. Loved the diagnostic session, looks like it was super fun. To clarify, this was my personal Delorean years ago. I personally converted it myself and it was later sold to a collector in Los Angeles. He owned it for a while and it was then sold via Ebay to who I believe is the current owner now located in Florida. Sadly, there have been a ton of alterations done to it since that time (some better than others, but nothing that was a part of my original personal build).
As the armchair experts have pointed out, this car is absolutely NOT a screen used car used in the original BTTF Trilogy. I totally understand how you probably heard different from the current owner. It's a real shame that some people need to overstate the history of a car that is already awesome enough as it is.
I have made a Delorean that was screen used. I built Seth Macfarlane's Delorean Time Machine which was used in A Million Ways to Die in the West, right along with Doc Brown himself. So, I'm certainly not complaining.
Keep up the great work.
Holy crap, Batman!! Man, what a privilege. Ray, I know you may realize what an honor this is and equally a testament to your skills as a technician and a wonderful human being. You're the greatest, Ray. And somehow, those words don't do you the justice you deserve. I bow to you, Sir. 🙇♂️
SO FREAKING COOL to be able to see all of this up close!! and to realize that there is actual functioning circuitry with real HUGE capacitors and STUFF!!
I'm geeking out as much as Lauren was in her video. 🤓
You really must be a fantastic mechanic, I'm sure you are ecstatic to join the club of a very few meaning the few that I worked on the delorean that was in BACK TO THE FUTURE. But as I grew up with that movie also thank you for the step back in the past. The opportunity to geek out with you, Was amazing sir thank you.
Love how you inspected the nonfunctional props like they could actually be part of the problem 😅 way to keep in character 😆
The LED strings on the cables look pretty cool. Although I would have personally programmed them to be a different colour than, er, pink.
They'd better be nonfunctional. Those caps hold a charge under normal circumstances.
My fav missed pun in the last few seconds would've been, ( Roads... where we're going, we don't need roads! ) loved the vid Ray & beautiful to see the detail the owner has gone to, to take this beauty from car too art.
With a vehicle like this you'd be forgiven for taking your time just because it's so dang cool.
He’ll have all the time in the world once he gets that flux capacitor working. ;)
With this machine you definitely must take the TIME you need. Should have left this until 1 APRIL 2024 and don't forget to synchronise time with City Hall Clock!!!
Yes... It's the updated Version... No Plutonium needed...😁😉
What time, you just go back to when it was dropped off, you can keep it indefinitely and one one would be wizer.
Just a "heads up" Ray, since the owner has converted the power supply to the Mr. Fusion, use caution when priming the flux capacitor. These are known to create a false positron field. If this happens, when the smoke clears, you will notice your family is 50 years older. No, the wife unit will not be happy. To correct this, go rent a positron emitter of the 5 gigawatt varity and slowly back feed to flux capacitor. Yes, this will create a large magnetic pulse. When the department of energy guys show up, deny everything. They will place you on the no fly list but this is a small price to pay to make the family happy again. Good luck.
Good point.
Goes without saying, really ;)
Is that the no McFlylist?
Not many mechanics get to work on a Time Machine. You must have been highly rated in the future. As always another great video from you and we will see you in the future. You can and will achieve 88 MPH. Just watch out for that re-entry its a rough one.
Or highly rated in the past.🤔
Mechanic’s video of the year. When you got the call to take on the diags and repair, that had to be a mind blown moment. Thanks for being the kind of person that gets that kind of call.
A friend of mine in Baton Rouge had a full-on movie replica DMC. Puts a smile on everyone's faces.
Loved this one in particular , brings back better times. Keep up the good work Ray always looking forward for some good mechanic videos. Wish I had a mechanic like you near by,
Wish our modern kids had that sense of excitement and imagination that movies brought to us in the 80's.
Ray brought us a great thing today, nostalgia. I love the feeling nostalgia gives me and the connection it brings to my past.
Now, the question is, how to take it to the future with our kids. Make those memories y'all!
Alright, who didn't have a smile on your face and humming the song when it turned up
You know your a good mechanic when doc Brown brings his time machine to you
What a cool vehicle to get to work on Ray! This has to be one of the most fun cars to get your hands on! Now ya need to get a K.I.T.T. in the shop!
Ray, thank you for coming back to the future of today. I was worried you would be stuck back in time while working on the electrical circuitry of the DeLorean. What a treat! Thanks so much for taking care of this DeLorean and an oil change! Have an awesome day.
So hard to tell when your doing actually diagnostics or your Trolling us Ray nice work great video has been super entertaining 😂😂😂 Bravo 👏👏 24:55 @Rainman Ray's Repairs
this is youtube gold! glad it fell into your hands Dr. Rainman!
GREAT SCOTT ! Sorry I mean Ray... that is an interesting repair for sure.... I mean it's not like you can rock up to any pharmacy in 2023 and buy a bar of plutonium , right? I mean that stuff is heavy (ok done with the sad references) - excellent video as usual... now you've set the bar quite high.... we want to see KITT in the workshop next month !
Wonder if Ray can fix helicopters too? Airwolf week after next?
It does have a Mr. Fusion perched on the back, so no plutonium needed.
I get mine from AliExpress since my Libyan source dried up.
I can totally hear K.I.T.T micromanaging Ray and telling him "this is how Bonnie would do it"
@@carlcollingwood2063Unfortunately Airwolf was destroyed in a crash somewhere in the 90s after she was re-purposed for medevac services in Germany. (True story.)
Thanks for the smile all the way home on my evening train ride. One of my favorite people working on one of my favorite cars. My biggest regret is that I one have one like to give.
Nothing boring about this video. As the Wife Unit said, it's a once in a lifetime opportunity.
Definitely one of your coolest videos by far Ray!!! I've never seen all of the nether regions of a DeLorean. This was a fun one to watch..although that battery placement sucks the big one....remove seat then remove battery...a real pain for sure.
I hope there's another video on this car in the future Ray 🙂
It took me to the the flux capacitor voltage readings that you were simply having some fun. Good stuff.
John made a car that just never ran. Yet it’s mortality will never die. Great video fella 👍
Lots of great chuckles with your deadpan commentary.
Marty would be proud of you.
Absolutely hilarious! You really played the role of repairing the time machine parts! Loved iy❤
We all knew Ray was a world-class automotive technician, but I had no idea he worked on time machines too. That's good to know because I was constantly having to travel to the next decade over to get mine worked on. 😅
Not to mention him knowing *shops* (multiple, not just Emmett Brown Electronics) that apparently offer a service to rebuild flux capacitors. I mean, are those things *that* common?
@@Stoney3K Definitely a common part. I just finished servicing a 1947 Hammond organ with a leaking flux capacitor. It was flinging ions all over the inside of it's containment. It's difficult to get all of those little buggers back where they belong. Most of my parts vendors live in the past anyway so NOS parts can be found.
This was the most entertaining oil change video I've ever watched.
Great scott! A DeLorean time machine! Nice! My entire family loved this video. Thanks for the fun! Comments are just as fun!
Great video. I had no idea you were a certified time machine mechanic as well. Good job!
Maybe the only one in this time continuum.
Maybe not... got the keys?... then have fun@@AJGreen-cn8kk
13 hours in the future/your past.... the story continues...
Certification number 121g.
Ray is the mechanic you want work'n on 'yer vehicle.....
After they quit making Fieros, I wanted one of these. Ended up buying a Datsun 280Z instead.... Glad I did, as this looks way to complicated to work on. 😂
Nice video guys, Thanks!
Best video yet. The humour was next level. Well done sir.
My uncle worked on the original DeLorean assembly line in Belfast his job was the fitting of the brake lights so it always nice seeing these cars as it reminds me of him
After 40 years that design still holds up. Just so sleek and definitely unmistakably DMC. There was a Ford dealer near where I lived (West Palm Beach area) that was a DeLorean seller. I remember seeing one on the showroom floor and it was $25K back then. Couldn't afford it at the time, so I just continued to the parts counter to pick up the crankshaft for my Pinto.
I had goosebumps watching this. Love your content Ray! This was a treat for your regular audience ❤
That's really fun... I was having a rough day and it made me smile so thank you
Doc Brown would be proud with the way you handled his masterpiece!!
Troll or not I am glad to see a running Delorian. I am looking forward to seeing round two where you replace the damaged shocks and ball joints.
Been looking forward to this video since Lauren made the community post on her channel.
Ray….this is the best video you have ever done!
Was surprised Ray put the brake clean can so delicately on the oil cart, I was waiting for the can flying across the shop floor..🤣
Can't wait to hear what the parts guy says about a replacement Flux capacitor
O'Reilly Auto parts used to advertise that they carried flux capacitors. I worked at corporate and it caused a lot of problems for us. It was supposed to be a joke but there's a lot of stupid out there.
Part # 121g still shows up on their website. 😂
Fantastic video. Thanks for uploading it. Concerning the electrical issue, I seem to recall that Marty McFly had electrical issues with the time machine once. They were related to the engine, however the time circuits may have been damaged during the diagnosis or repair of the previous issue. I suspect it is unlikely that you could consult with Doc. Brown regarding previous repairs or modifications. Either way, see you in the future.
That DeLorean was great to see, watched those movies and loved them
Just about the coolest, most timeless oil change videos I ever watched!
This is a fun one. Great job sir.
Without the movie series, these cars would be the PT Cruiser of the '80's.
The Delorean was expensive and not really popular. The PT Cruiser was cheap and very popular...
NOPE. They have a pedigree without the movie. Even the Bricklins (a lower status) command a chunk of $ in good running condition and accident free.
DeLoreans start at about $50K and up, currently, some are (fully restored) at $100K already.
It's the looks, the style, the stainless body, gullwings, uniqueness and rarity. In 10 years you'll not find one under $100K - guaranteed - and that will be a non-running wreck.
The movie is utterly irrelevant.
Remember, when you could buy an XKE on the cheap...
It its day it was rubbish. It was also a scam car. Used to filter Government funding and a cocaine racket
@@victorsong8416 without the movie franchise no one would remember and buy one. It was an ambitious idea that was sold underpowered. With a good engine they might have sold better and longer.
@@Happy357mag yes but nowadays no one wants a Cruiser unless they are a huge fan.
seeing one of my favorite mechanic youtubers working on one of my FAVORITE vehicles is amazing. I'm in love with this car, & Back to the Future, & hope you had extra fun with this one!
This was a very amazing video's along with your wife. That Delorean brought back memories. I saw one in a bar parking lot. Then along came back to the Future.
fun fact about the early deloreans is that the early models had a cover over the gas cap and the later ones you had to open the hood to fuel up. In the movie, the speedometer was changed out to show higher speed because the stock one only went to 80 or 85 IIRC
Odd frame of reference questions:
Would the time machine still initiate if it was on a trailer being pulled at 88MPH by, say, a Silverado driven by a Florida mechanic?
If not, is it that the wheels have to be spinning at the 88MPH rate? If so, perhaps an externally driven roller system like that on a dynamometer would do the job.
What if you combinge both ideas, giving you a trailer that could spin the DMC's wheels at the same speed as road speed, and it was all pulled by the Florida mechanic's Silverado?
@@MonkeyJedi99 you could push it with a late 1800s steam locomotive provided you could get it up to 88 before the bridge
@MonkeyJedi99 the reason the DeLorean had to go 88 specifically is because if the wormhole that travels you through time only lasts .10717 seconds then to get a DeLorean through in the right time without being too early that the car gets screwed up or too late that part of the car gets cut off you would need to move at 88mph to get the car through the wormhole with the car having a length of 4.216 meters you would need to move at 39.3395 m/s or exactly 88 mph basically for the sake of safety so I guess if you could get the car to 88 by some external force maybe the time circuits were only set to open the wormhole when the car hit 88mph so it wouldn't work on a trailer but being pushed?
@@myacidninjatheamazing1025 I do recall that.
But is still doesn't answer the question of if the car has to hit 88, or the spinning of the wheels, or both.
@@myacidninjatheamazing1025 I do appreciate this additional data!
This is worth pondering.
Maybe an open trailer? Maybe a tow line that has a quick release triggered to 88mph?
So many questions, so few test rigs...
The DeLorean has been my dream car since I first saw Back To The Future when I was 5 years old. Someday.
Not one of but the best oil change and general inspection videos I've seen.but the best one. Keep up the good work and excellent videos Ray.
Amazing! I was confused at the beginning but I caught on! Really cool to watch! I liked how you set the can of brake clean on the filter so calmly. I was hoping you would say “Anotha!” But that’s okay!
Now that was a cool one Ray, loved the Delorean and I bet it wa sa real treat for you and ARod looking over it.
I also saw that Lauren was really enjoying it to my friend, also great to see "The Ghost Who Walks" briefly.
Ty mate a really fun one to watch and shows how your so well respected to be allowed to touch such a rare car.
Keep Safe Keep Strong 🦘🦘🦘🦘❤❤❤❤
Just flippin AWESOME!
Hell yeah. My dad has his academy award for back to the future 2 on his mantel. Sound effects
That was a lot of fun!
You are sure lucky to be able to work on this classic.
Thanks Ray for showing us this awesome vehicle, love it ❤
When that baby hits 88 MPH, you're gonna see some serious shit.
Ray - I've had the biggest grin on my face watching this video. I was grinning for the *entire* video, and man is my face aching now. Thanks for sharing this one with us.
Those delorians look so futuristic. Bet was a blast seeing it in person and being able drive it.
thats so awesome ray. i bet you were feeling like a kid working on this baby.
Fun fact: The Mr. Fusion is mounted to a pedestal with a '69 Dodge Polara hub cap used as a base.
Is that canon? Or just specific to this particular Delorean?
@@FortunateJuice, good catch !
Ray when he got the call to fix The Time Machine:
GREAT SCOTT!!
Beautifully done tribute car Ray, thanks for sharing it.
This is just awesome. Just goes to show that when you do good things great things come to you
Brilliant! Loved it right through! Well done Ray - you've made a crappy day for me into a fantastic one :-)
😂So much fun watching grown up professionals play with toys.
Thank you Arod and Ray (and wife unit) for an entertaining video...
Great video and diagnosis. A great era
Ray takes DeLorean on test drive. Drives over bridge at 85 mph. Winds up in the year 2525 Florida.
88 mph
Then he knows who the next president is.😁
@@ShoestringRacer In FL, 88 mph will result in this: 🚔🚔🚔🚓🚓🚓🚓👮♂👮♂👮♂👮♂👮♂👮♂👮♂🚓🚓🚓🚓🚓🚔🚔🚔🚔
Hey Ray, that was an awesome video. Looked like you guys had a lot of fun on this one and also fun to watch. Great to have a chance to work on something like that.
Ray , back in the 80's the rage was to use 20W50 in everything .
Ray, just call Doc! Awesome vid, brought a smile to my face in an otherwise shitty day. TY Sir!
Electrical diagnosis, better call doc for this one 🤣
Hello, thank God we are in the future and you have the intelligence for that Delorean, which returned from the past, good luck brother
I was laughing so hard. Using the movie terminology like you work on this car all the time and never so much as a chuckle. You are one of a kind!
I can see this video catapulting Rays channel to a million soon enough!
My face hurts from smiling during the whole dang video 😂❤
¡De acuerdo! yo también tuve una sonrisa (......) en mi cara todo el tiempo (presente, pasado y futuro)
Professor .... Marty ..... Bif... loved this video ... back to the future!
O'Reillys has a replacement Flux capacitor available in their app....
man, you had a blast doing this. I love all the detailed inspections of stuff that just doesn't even exist!
I pushed the like button (as per need to be pressed), (car on the hoist) and the subscribe lever kept klicking as the lift raised, louring me like a catfish, Moew, purr, purr
Hey Ray, that was great. A good walk around and showing us "it's quirks and features." Cheers!
I think it came back in time for the best Mechanic.
Those individual parts of the flux capacitor that you are getting unusual readings from were TMR-9 TORR High voltage relays. They are essentially unobtainium these days.
Trippiest thing I have seen in a while...surreal ray
Shows that have had these vehicles on have not and do not go into depth with all the back room stuff, switches and connections.
Great video, thank you
This was a nice trip back in time. Thanks Ray.
Best episode ever! Time Travelers and Aliens, WooHoo...
One of my favorite movies of all time.
Is was in the shot recently, great to see a video about it. Looking forward to it. (Commenting before the video starts)
Ray, don’t go any faster than 87mph when you test drive it!😅😊😂
Where in these United States would it be legal to reach that speed?
@@randyfitz8310 88mph
Trivia: In the Back to the Future films, the iconic DeLorean time machine had to reach 88 mph in order to jump forward or backward in time.
Ray was last seen in 1985..... Oops....
@@elninorata3891 That's why he said don't go faster than 87.
@@randyfitz8310Nevada has no speed limit (or it used not to).
Can you do a brake job on the Batmobile next?😊
I loved this video. Lol it gave us a glimpse into rainman Ray's repair year 2323 edition
Nice never thought I'd see the inside and out of the back to the future car
Yes!
Yeah finally got in the top 10 for early birds
Great video. In their day the Delorean was a crap parts bin car. Great looking car but that's it. In the end when John Delorean ran out of investor money he had to declare bankruptcy. The US Treasury went after him for fraud. The cars were built in Ireland. He made the headlines about 40 years ago. Was married to a beautiful supermodel. Very talented engineer, the rest is history.
