Troy seems like a good humble kid. He's learning from the best.
The thing I noticed with young troy is that after you got the latch unlatched, he apologised and admitted he might of caused it. That is the most admirable trait you could ask for. Honesty even if it could result in being in trouble is a sign that young Troy is a stand up guy. Great to see and Im sure he will go a long way if he keeps that integrity through his career. Well done Troy.
Seems like that's just being normal. Nbd
@@RichPrivilegedWhiteMale unfortunately these days integrity seems to be something many don't have.... I agree though, it should be the norm, not the exception.
@@dcs2402 I wish more people have your mentality, where I work having integrity is something you're punished for. You admit your mistakes and you get told to stay quiet because the "customer doesn't need to know" or your mistake is never forgotten and held above your head for years, prohibiting you from trying to improve because if you messed up say, installing an axle, so nobody will let you try that ever again, even if you messed up on your first try because you "don't know what you're doing". It doesn't help that the senior staff have no intention of training people and I'm pretty sure they're just trying to protect their jobs (even though they're dropping like flies.)
@@BigWheel. you have experienced first hand how some bosses are too short sighted to realise that the people that work for you are the entire reason for your business success or not. I bet you never spoke up again after being treated like that. It's just not smart as a boss to do that. Not only will your employees feel uneasy all the time, they won't be happy and unhappy workers will never look after your business or your customers like happy ones. I really hope you managed to get work with someone who deserves you. All the best.
I agree we all need a bit of tough love no pun intended
In my youth I worked I worked at a Goodyear dealership. If my boss saw me using anything above a couple quick sprays of Brakleen, he would get super pissed and yell at me about how I was wasting his money. He would have a stroke seeing how much you use!😂
Ray loves being wasteful.
No, Ray love bright shiny.
Not to mention breaking down the adhesive on the wheel balance weights on a car that’s been sitting……
@@johnmclean8643 That's not a thing lol
@@johnmclean8643 Wheel balance weights have no adhesive and are wedged onto the lip of the rim and tapped into place with a rubber mallet.
My comment moment is two fold! Firstly Ray I loved the fact you were concerned about Troy's welfare regarding the heat. And how you explained what you were doing with the bonnet catch ( English) for hood! And not to apologize for learning.
Troy not sure of your age or work experience, but you could not have a better mentor than Ray. I really hope you have a great future with Ray. Please grab this opportunity to learn and don't get impatient or down hearted when things don't come together first time. Please reward Ray with honesty, integrity and hard work. Good luck to you both....
I love how you're so nice with the young grasshopper and have patience with him. Just shows how good of a person you are. We need more people like you in the world.
Troy would be too young to know who grasshopper was, ( when you can grab these stones you may leave young grass hopper.) In case when you can grab these wrenches.
I’m sure Ray is a good dude, and he does appear genuine to me. But I feel compelled to point out that how people act online in videos is not always indicative of their actual character irl. I see the discrepancies most often in parent vloggers and dog vloggers.
It is satisfying to know and see old fluids replaced with fresh and clean fluid
Good day to you sir. So glad you went with "Vault of Viscosity"
As one of the Locomotive Engineers who operate the Trop Train (CSX), You're Welcome.
Tell me the truth… are you guys messing with us with the trains parked across 41 at 8am? You know what you’re doing 🤣🤣
The way you treated "grasshopper" was exemplary Ray! He should feel safe and inspired by your tuition ❤️! And of course he'll be even happier to contribute 110%, which I'm sure he will! 👌
with a "15 percent"
pay raise🤔...
Troy “grasshopper” repair man
He may be too young to know what it means or has never seen the series.
The noise was Troy crying out in shame as he jammed the lock on the Jeep again 🤣😁
That's a cat in heat. I can't forget that sound. I lived in a small town for a bit to go to college, the town was overrun with cats. That's what I feel asleep too, except about 20 cats doing that sound outside. Instead of frogs it was cats in heat.
No no no it was a poltergeist caused by his frustration 👻
Wow that Malibu is in pristine condition hope the kids learning hes got one hell of a teacher
I recently got a pretty good condition 1996 grand am except a stray wire that powers the cooling fan. Gonna troubleshoot it once I get a chance. Also the dash and driver door are pretty messed up, but that's harder to deal with on limited funds
@@Freezinggreece2 nice I had a 99 grand am gt very quick
i had a 2010 malibu lt really arent that great of a car imo
In farm country in the middle of Pennsylvania you only need to let something set for 6 hours to have at least four mud dauber tunnels started and about an inch or more long. Those suckers are quick around here.
What’s a mud dauber? Sounds like a termite? We don’t have them here in the UK
@@Rambogner they are relative to a wasp, although in my experience are more reluctant to sting. They fly around and build tunnel like structures out of mud on just about any flat surface. They eat spiders and other insects.
With all the cool things I have learned from this channel ( most of which I would not attempt)I picked up “pouring things”. And now for some damn reason I challenge myself on how far and how neatly i can pour thing….even when I am helping in the kitchen.
yeah everything I've learned here the best is how to pour things
Like I always say click when I'm done tightening a fastener
@@robertpimpo4698 glad I'm not the only one.
Learned the long pour more than 40 years ago from my father. Long pours remind me of him now that he is gone... thanks Ray!
It's only the first pour that you have to avoid
Hey Dude, I know you are prolly holding the phone/camera with you left hand, butttttt, it is always better to support the upper end of a long extension with your free hand than let it be supported by the plastic parts of the engine. (I know kinda picky, but I am a Porsche guy). Anyway, good for you to get some gravy work, if you like, you can get a stamp made with your shops name, etc, to be able to stamp the owners service record book, the folks who really take care of their cars like that kind of care. Also you can look up the services in all data, or online so if a car comes in with x mileage you can sell them the service that corresponds, and also whatever work they brought the vehicle in with. Just make sure they understand you are doing the "factory" recommended service and not a "Jiffy Lube" oil change.
Anyway helpful tips from the Vault

8:58 Snake skin stuck to the headlight bezel. that is awesome.
I don't know if I said this way back when you were at that other garage, but you said something about having the new 'green subscribe' button and I thought it was actually something youtube were trying out. So I went searching for it, even on Google because I honestly thought I was losing out on extra content. So yeah, just wanted to share that with you, Ray, and your many fans.
“Shoot the fluid out like a volcano”
Sounds like the voice of experience.
It's really nice to see people take care of their car, so clean and shiny😊
Great work Ray! Speed tech Ray is coming back. Lol
You seems to be a great mentor Ray! The positive feedback on even negative stuff gives people confidence to learn!
Thanks for the video Ray keep up the great work and have a great day and take care of yourself and family and be Blessed ❤️❤️❤️👍.
Hi Ray. You have a nice way in dealing with 'grasshopper Troy'. Mentioning to him that learning from mistakes is all part of the process is what helps buffer mistakes and shows your thoughtful care as a fine teacher. Thanks for the video.
lol...
@@inspectorjavert5563 love the name
Ray loves bright shiny.
funny the young man didn’t seem to understand the “grasshopper” reference.😀
I died a little inside.
Congratulations on the 500K subs. That is awesome. Keep up the great content.
These video's are very professional and educational they always keep my interest.
You've got yourself a winner there with Troy. Shares same sense of humor, got over his camera shyness quickly, good stuff. :-)
The synchronous yahaa! After getting the hood open was nice.
Troy's code name can be MIT ( Machanic in Training) great to see that you are helping him learn and giving him a great start on how to not have bad ethics. Great content as usual.
FNG... fukkin new guy
Mechanix in our country are refered to as "technicians" so do we call him TITs ?
Watched your vid at 9:30 at night,cause I get up and out the door early in the morning. Sipping my coffee and enjoying ,relaxing also listening to the long milkshake slurp at end sucking out break fluid .😊
You have all the right tools,, very professional,,
Do those tranny fluid machines have a way to flush themselves between servicing cars with different types of fluid?
That sound was me hitting the like button 😂
Nice to see a young man learning from one of the best. If he continues to follow your examples he will be a good mechanic as well. Troy, your exceptionally lucky so keep up the good work.
Thanks!young Troy needs an official shop shirt.
Good morning Ray! Brand new video yes!!! Great videos keep up the great work.
When spin-on oil filters came out in the mid 60's to replace canister filters, they were the greatest things. WHY did they go back to canisters? And WHY do they all take different tools to take off? Car makers can take their late model cars and cram them you know where.
Because of the recycling psychos. spin on oil filters are hard to fully drain and they end up in landfills. the cannister types make it less likely to pollute.
The EPA made demands that car manufacturers reduced the amount of maintenance and the materials that resulted from maintenance such as spin- on filters and fluids. This resulted in unrealistic maintenance intervals and transmissions\ power trains designed not to be serviced and the end of spin on oil filters. The end result was shortening the life expectancy of cars and expensive power train repairs (even though modern vehicles in general are capable of the same or better longevity than the same type vehicles manufactured decades ago) the maintenance schedules now define the life of a car as 10 years\ 120,000 miles even though with accelerated maintenance they will likely last twice that long). Current engines get better gas mileage and have more power than previous designs, but are not as robust and so require more maintenance (they are especially sensitive to the need for frequent oil changes); some of which has been made very difficult due to poorly thought out government regulations to reduce byproducts of vehicle maintenance which result in shortening the life of vehicles creating more junked cars and demand for replacements which eat up even a greater amount of natural resources. IOW (In Other Words) only the government can mess things up this bad.
@@jw-hy5nq That is crap. All filters end up in the landfill anyway. As for not being drained, most all oil change shops I've ever seen have a dozen filters sitting in the drain. It's not like they go to the trash can after each car. There are still a lot of cars that use spin-on filters. There is still no call for having to use many different tools to remove depending on the make. I hate that there are so many sizes of spin-on filters these days too. Used to be just one diameter. Then they came out with the small size. Now there are half a dozen. I have three cups in my box now for the vehicles I have/had PLUS the steel strap in two sizes.
I think the reason for special tools for many maintenance items is to keep owners from doing the work themselves. Along with cannister filters, no dip stick for transmissions, having to remove major items (like intake manifolds) to get to coil packs and spark plugs, and the list goes on. Manufacturers want us to HAVE to take our vehicles to the dealership for maintenance, or shops like Ray's. BTW I would love to take my vehicles to Ray. But, a 6 hour drive one way is not as convenient as it sounds. 😊
@@jw-hy5nq to get every single possible drop of oil out of the old filter is admirable, but the filter is still going to the landfill ultimately, with even a trace of oil left the recyclers are going to toss it in said landfill... Its just like recycling your pizza box, if it has ANY GREASE spots on it, it goes in the landfill... I would tear off the top of the box, greasy end goes in trash, other end goes in recycling...
I worked in many shops in my youth and only 1 of them had this oil filter crushing machine, which would compact it and get out every drip of oil possible, but its still going in the trash.
After watching Penn and Tellers: Bullshit, it has me wondering if recycling is worth it at all?
Troys personality is so chill. Its fun to see it clash with Ray's outgoing ways. 😅
You should talk to your BG dealer about getting a 55 gallon barrel of brake clean, cuts down on costs and you don't have to have 5 million cans of brake clean taking up shelf space 👍
$550 for zep brand 55 gal and you can get an electric spray can for not too much. Compared to $1500+ for equivalent aerosol cans
Multi tasking at its finest. Good job.
Congratulations Rainman Ray! On having 500K subscribers! 🎉🎉🎉😊🎉😊😊😊😊😉
7:50 Do you ever put your tools away?
17:44 Are you saying the shop is haunted? 🤔😧👹
24:00 They do sell other funnels.
So? Will we ever get "The Story of Troy"?
Yes, he puts them on that one cart.😀
Actually, since moving to this shop he did clean up the drawers in his tool chests.
Does the apprentice have any idea how lucky he is for the opportunity to learn from Ray?
Probably Not Yet.....
It's only been a week. Let his get his feet wet for a while. 😂😂😂
He won’t appreciate him until he burns this bridge and has to work with someone else.
Every day is a learning experience I think he has a positive attitude and gets along good with Ray that enjoys teaching him as I can tell Great opportunity
I’m starting to want to go work for Ray.
Malibu is testimony to how fast Florida Salt Sea Air starts surface corrosion. Texas Gulf Coast cars similar, they rust from top down , vs bottom up from salted roads. Running vehicles on the beach causes both types !
Congrats on your 500K. Seeing the age disparity between you two, Jordon/Kobe, gave me a little chuckle. He truly is grasshopper.
I don't like the expensive socket but I do like the ability to change the oil filter from the top. : )
In my Forester it's an ordinary spin-on filter AND it's accessible from the top.
Did you notice how the pleats were crushed on the old oil filter? I think it may not have been properly seated.
@@robertslegers257 Every aftermarket ecotec filter gets crushed. The only ones I have used they don't crush are the OE ACDelco which is a reboxed Hengst filter.
My peugeot has same type of oil filter housing but its angled slightly to the side so you can remove it with normal ratchet.
The way its in the car here is just absolutely stupid design.
You need to get Grasshopper to walk on rice paper - without leaving a trace - when he can do this he is fully trained.
I can do that easy, just gotta spray the feet with brake cleaner first and let it dry. But don’t tell the boy! 😂
Very therapeutic brake fluid cleaner session today, complete with clang to the floor. Thanks.
wish you were in maryland because by watching you you have a lot of a knowledge
And i will now watch Ray struggle while i eat and giggle.
🤣🤣
I noticed the headlights are starting to yellow. Get a 3inch foam buffing pad and use 3M 36060 rubbing compound. You can buff both lights in about 20 minutes if they are really bad. Very easy, sellable service 👍👍👍
I saw a video, maybe a youtube short, of a guy using bug spray. he sprayed it on the lenses, let it sit for some time (curse you jump cuts LUL) and then wiped it off with a cloth. was kinda amazing how clear it was with such little effort
I have 1 that I sanded down to 2000 grit and sprayed with Dupli-Color clear. It looks good to me. Noticeable brightness increase. That was a year ago and it's still looking good.
@@legionofanon That makes it look good for maybe a day. It works with WD 40 also. One has to use a fine abrassive for any permanent change.
Or if the owner wants to splurge, get new ones. This from the point of view that my car is 2007 and new enclosures are not available. And if they were, it would be 1000€ a piece. I just love HID.
@kampar82 I feel your pain. My headlights are 3000$ usd. A drop in the bucket compared to luxury and exotic cars though.
Troy is new and green ,good attitude, he will realize ,that we learn new stuff everyday
It was fun....I laughed right out loud when you tripped and made a joke of it....I think the spontaneous nickname you gave your partner"Grasshopper "was kind of cute and finally getting creative with the can of brake-kleen rolling to a stop was a nice touch....over and out.
Hi Ray question: is grasshopper your new employee? Maybe you can introduce him to us. Anyway, I'm curious, is he a student, is he still studying etc etc? Don't leave us in ignorance and burning with curiosity haha...😇
Yes, his name is Troy and he's been there a couple weeks
I love the positivity of Ray's audience.
Whoever he is, if Raymond is like me and loath to babysit people, Troy is a good and quiet student of carology. Lol!
Maybe he doesn't want to be on camera and Ray is respecting his wishes.
@Eric Erickson yeah it was said in another previous video. i think we get some more glimps later :)
Well lucky for the small tip on that funnel - or we'd be watching Ray diagnose 'foreign bodies' in engine noises!!!😅😮
Fluid exchanges are so satisfying
Grasshoppers have four stages of life, 1. Gnawers 2. Swarmer 3. Devoured 4. Consumer, Locust are the later stages of the Grasshopper.
About 10 species of grasshoppers will morph into locusts when they are overcrowded.
You forgot to check cabin air filter for air conditioner
Now if you make him pick up a red hot muffler with his forearms in order to leave the confines of the garage.............
😂
Everytime I watch your videos I am laughing excellent work and I love the way you clean everything I have met so many mechanics not even one 3rd of the cleaning and work you do it's a shame I am in Great Britain
I’m absolutely stunned and very impressed with the condition of that twelve year old car! It’s immaculate. Living in Florida sure makes replacing rusty cars a non issue.
Looking after your car must be so much easier than most people up north.
You do have a coolant addition check instrument. You take a voltmeter and you put a probe into the coolant and you put the other one on the ground of the vehicle. If you get up to about 3/10 of a v, it's time to change the fluid. When the fluid becomes acidic it also produces a voltage which is what causes damage to the metal parts inside of the engine especially the head gasket. That's what's called galvanic action and it comes from the differential Metals in the cooling system.
Are you sure you're allowed to say trans in Florida with King DeSantis?
I am a Democrat, but I 100% agree with his policy of keeping sex ideology out of public schools with young children,
Adult oriented sexual material has no bussines in pre adult settings.
Yes sex education at later teen ages but only on the subject of reproduction and procreation. As for gay and transgender ideology it dosnt belong in any schools at all. In fact it acts of a sexual predatory even bringing up that subject to young children. No sex subject should not be in schools at all to younger children.
Yes people have a choice of how to live
But young minds are impressionable
If you do not feed the idea they won't learn it. Anything past no talking about it is suspicious in nature.
I would hate to bring kids up in this day and age we do not need this or any form of it in schools.
Children will come ask when they are ready to talk about it and that child's parents should be who they ask.
Not somone in power like a teacher in school. This is tottaly wrong.
When I grew up no one muttered a word about adult stuff to kids, and those that did didnt have good intentions in mind.
Shouldn't say trans ..shouldn't be trans... not unless you believe I can be transed into an elephant ...
Ok Ray....the Ray-Verse fans need you to get the phone ring sound from your old shop....WE MISS IT!😂
Very very good Ray !!!
Good Teacher RainMan
"Did you learn". "No". Love it. Keep the humor, stay humble. Good works as always.
I really admire your drive to find the problem. We are so much alike. Walk away and brainstorm and you will find it .
Bloody good video Ray, quality!!!
Love your humor.
Rainman Ray--------------- holds camera in ONE HAND the entire time while removing caps, covers and plugs, then proceeds to change out 3 system fluids using cool "hi tech" machines, performs a final clean up using a copious amount of brake cleaner. During which he verbally explains everything clearly and concise. Me...........................sprays self in face attempting to stick the red plastic straw thingie in the spray nozzle of one small can of brake cleaner, spends two hours in ER having eyes flushed out by a grouchy old med tech all while the spouse unit explains to the entire ER floor the error of my actions. Great vid man ty again for posting.
Congrats on the 500k subs, Ray!
Thanks
I liked the way you asked Troy if He learned something. We have 3 late 90's Chevy trucks. My Son helps me work on them and I ask Him the same thing.
Hey Ray. Long time watcher, first time commenter. Back when I used to work on vehicles, I would keep a pack of vacuum line caps which I would cut shorter and use as bleeder caps if customers were missing them. Just a tip in case you want to use it. Keep up the great work!
Nice video full of lots of services good video @Rainman Ray's Repairs
17:44 check the trunk. Another fine video Ray!
Happy to see you Brake Clean the Master👍👍
Learned three things in this Video

Thanks Ray for an entertainment session
I'm glad you put the oil cap on correctly. Was starting to get some OCD there. Whew!
I love your perspective on things, especially seeing the empty brake cleaner can flung across the floor and the closeup of said can rocking to a gentle stop. Hilarious!🤣
45:20. For those that missed it
That brand is really good. I have had multiple times using it and also worked at a place that used to.
A lot going on there in a short period of time
Awesome beautimus
Cheers from Nova Scotia
1:30 that accord looks mint
Thanks Ray enjoyed this video as usual mate, Glad "The Shadow" (Troy) is enjoying all the knowledge he is getting and seems a nice young man. That is a very clean and seemingly great condition malibu and enjoyed seeing the fluid exchange and I hope the owner enjoys many miles of trouble free driving now.
Keep Safe Keep Strong 🦘🦘🦘🦘💖💖
I find it educational and entertaining. Wish you were my automotive instructor.
👏👏👏👏for another great educational video. Your concern for your new hire Troy’s health working in the heat is great. 🤔Troy aka the “Jeepster”🙂.
That camera work and transition shots were ON POINT
Great job!
Hey brother I'm glad you got some good help that's awesome best wishes from your buddy Ari
Ray, BG should be a sponsor! I just bought 4 cans of EPR. It's the first snake oil I've used since using Rislone in the early 1980s.
You keep doing your thing and I'll keep thumbs uping you!!!!!!
Carpe diem Ray.
Great videos. Your new guy has good vocabulary.
Keep up the excellent work.
-SALUTE-
If Troy remembers anything, stress to him that one of the most important aspects of being a good mechanic, is attention to detail! His oversight when working on a vehicle could cause a catastrophic accident or damage. He appears to be a good guy, wanting to learn. He is blessed to have such a talented and experienced teacher- Ray is the man!
When I was turning wrench , MATCO tools had a funnel that attaches right to the oil fill cap location and kind of locks into it. I still have it and still use it. Depending on the size of the hole in the rocker cover, it will handle the flow almost as fast as you can pour it. Well worth the investment
Those are still around! Some are fairly priced (Lisle, under $10, fits ... some) and some (Assenmacher) are frighteningly nice and pricey.
You reminded me of my grandfather when you talked to Troy. Grandpa always told me that there were two types of mistakes If you learned and didn't repeat it, it was a good mistake otherwise it was a bad one. Well spoken Ray!
Back in the 70s I had a 67 Mercury Comet with Hydraulic lifters. My Grandfather used the wrong oil in it and gummed up the lifters. I put a quart of kerosene in the crankcase ran the engine for 1/2 hour and then drained the oil and refilled with fresh oil and filter. Lifters we’re working great after that.
Congrats on 500K Subs!
TY
Love the channel. Can't wait for more than fluid changes you've shown over and over. I would love if you woukd add an overdrive to your Silverado. Gearvendors sells them . Now that would be a very good video!
Congratulations on 500k subs!
nice to see you have got an apprentice he be smart learning from you Ray
Good job ray
Good to see you have a trainee to help expand your business.
Interesting way to exchange brake fluid. I used to work at a Saturn car plant. The initial fill on the brake system used a suction on the entire system as the car moved down the production line. Once a certain vacuum amount had been reached, the system would be fully filled with fluid. No bleeding of the system was required.
