My kids find it incredibly funny when you talk during the sped up parts. They keep asking who the chipmunk is.
It's Foamy the Squirrel!
" You need to know what you're doing so you don't die." ... I want that on a tee shirt.. and coffee mug..
That is a good one, also another is, don't learn safety by accident.
Yeah I think on a teeshirt is a good idea
definitely on both .
This is true in so many situations.
You got that right, especially electricity.@@TheStuffMade
The wife unit has a a real sport for putting up with your shenanigans Ray
47 years with a red head has taught me not to do that.
LOL, mine is brunette, 38 years and she would have been pissed, but would get over it. lol.@@tnekkc
@@jthonn Or... Get even.
@@davej3487 Mine gets even lol.
She hath been anointed and is now a Chosen One
It’s always sunny in Florida with Lauren’s smile.😊
Yeah, that’s why Ray doesn’t have to worry about vampires; always sunny! 😅
It's about time that they finally got rid of the stupid ring that had to be hammered off of the tank.
Love the horseplay! 🤣🤣🤣 Wife Unit Rocks.
Make the wife unit happy and get some tonight ❤.
An access panel in the floor would make this soo much easier to change the pump unit.🤦🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️😂😂
"Low Rider" in the background! Classic 😊
careful, you don't want to demonetise the video.
I love your INSTANT diag. when the vehicle displayed the exact symptom stated by customer and it did the same for you. Years of experience and knowledge, Mega Props Sir!
Best part of this video...the story about the missed fill hose! Ouch. Ray has really learned some big lessons over the years.
Absolutely awesome seeing a happy couple happy. Just the thing before Valentine’s Day. 🙂
I noticed the new Jack right away and thought ‘that’s an upgrade from his old Mac’. It looks lots better for its purpose, and softer/more secure.
I think Ray remarked that the old one had proved its inadequacy by breaking on him. I just hope he hadn't got a complete trans relying on it when it did that.
I always enjoy hearing Alvin and the Chipmunks when you do those fast-forward sequences! 😬
BTW, Ash Wednesday is tomorrow, not today.
Long crank, short tank, still need to thank the wife unit for her patience with Ray's antics! 🤣
20 Years Later: Ray tastes the oil. "It has a Passenger Side Disarticulated Discombobulator Modulation Valve out".
"Jerry, hold down the battery life monitor button while I hold a lump of wax against the left headlight... Yep, the regenerative braking hub on the right rear needs a new inductor subassembly."
Lauren has a lovely smile
Just wanted to tell you Ray. You gave me the confidence to pull my dash out of a 2004 Dodge Dakota to replace the heater core but while I was there, I went ahead and changed evaporator core and the blower, So I wouldn't have to do it again. I did it because you said that's the best thing to do when you pull those , so thank you very much😢
I have to change the evaporator in my '06 Jeep Commander. When I do I may as well do the heater coil too. I am not looking forward to it.
@jthonn it's an experience but not one I'd ever want to have Again!! That's why I went ahead and swapped them all out
Gotta admit 30 gallons of gasoline 😮😮😮😵💫😵💫😵💫
Diagnostic of the issue was quick and spot on. I'm not critical of your work now, so don't hate on me, but those clamps looked crusty, I would have replaced em. They're cheap and failure would be bad. But, only if I were doing it to my own vehicle. BTW, The wife unit is such a sport, remember you guys,Valentines Day. ❤
I can see that POV.
But given that the clamps merely apply a stop against the raised ridges of the lines the hoses connect to, it's not like they have to be overly tightened, or experience much strain.
If there was no raised lip, I could definitely agree even more.
Amazing job diagnosing and fixing the problem. You are a very talented hard worker who deserves the greatest success in your business.
I liked the application of the reciprocating wrench. I mean SAW.

edit: Who put that filler hose clam facing upward? Grrr!
Your work environment went from another factory mechanic in a corporate shop to the most positive and happy workplace I have seen that doesn't have a slide. You seem to have hit the ground running when you got tossed from the last job and haven't worked a day since despite now running your own shop and even taking on scrapping/restoration projects. I'm sure the people you share the lot with appreciate you clearing the old cars that have been sitting there for god only knows how long.
The clamps face that direction because the tank/hoses/clamps were all installed before the body went onto the frame at the factory. The workers would be working from the "top" rather than under it, so they put them on in the direction easiest for them to quickly assemble the module.
No amount of AI will replace what you did here. Listening to the customer and diagnostic straight away + fast job completion makes for a happy customer. That is priceless.👍
Also, every time Lauren shows up, makes for a better video. Love the shenanigans between you two.😂
One of my favourite car channels on YT 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇬🇧
Thank you for being here!! ❤
There's only two this one and Vice Grip Garage
Robbie Layton is a sucker for chargers might be a good collaboration if you still have yours, he’s flown 1200 miles, got one running and drove it back, he just bought 2 rust buckets and has others in his yard
Ole boys gonna need new rubberlines soon...those looked a little crusty...🤞
The best scene in all of YT! Yep, Ray smudges Lauren's forehead with black dirt and she has the perfect comeback, "Look at your nose!" Perfect comedic timing and effect. Thank you all, that should win the YT Academy Award for best comedic short scene. Great work!
You are great at your repair skills. Also, your heart is to your great advantage as a business owner. However, if I knew what you had to go through to replace the fuel pump, I would be very disappointed to know that you did not replace all of the rubber hoses coming to and from the tank. That truck has seen better days & shows signs of fatigued parts. There was so much labor involved with dropping the tank that as a customer I would appreciate the replacement of those particular parts. I know every customer is different, but preventative measures are important to me. You are a great and talented mechanic so I hope that you don't think I'm a jerk making these comments. As a business owner myself, I appreciate when my customers are not afraid to give constructive criticism's. I trust your work to the point that I would search you out to be my mechanic. Thanks so much Ray for listening to my rantings.
A relatively simple, straight forward, fuel pump replacement. The diag and confirmation is always of interest. That combined with previous experience with similar complaints/failures on the fuel system does make the complete repair. That trans jack with those adapters does make for fuel tank R&R much safer, especially with fuel in it - like this one's half tank. Love getting Lauren into the video, she's such a good sport. Puts up with Ray's goofing around. She's a keeper. 😊
Finally your hands are like car mechanic's hands 😆
As soon as I saw the title, I knew it would be the anti drainback check valve in the fuel pump lol.
TEN YEARS AGO I had the same problem on my 1997 ford aerostar.TWENTY DOLLAR INLINE CHECK VALVE REPAIR KIT FIXED IT. one half hour job.Going on eleven years
I was thinking the same thing
Put an inline check valve somewhere
professionals are held to a higher standard. Professional plumbers aren't allowed to install a vampire tap for an icemaker for example. For one thing, they eventually fail.
Seems like the external check valve would be used by auto makers. But that would be easy to repair. Not allowed.
Nothing like having the right equipment to make a job smooth and easy! I had to drop the tank on my 2000 Grand Cherokee 4.7 with a floor jack, some lumber, and threaded rod with nuts where the bolts go 😂
Yeah, as a shade tree mech, I can identify with that.
I am the first one on the scene I know I'm going to enjoy this video so I'm automatically giving it a thumbs up this goes to the wife unit you have an awesome husband he is definitely a keeper you guys are an awesome couple
Most likely all of the clamps point upward because all of these parts were attached to the frame before the body was installed.
New logo for your merch "Long crank? ... Pull the tank!!" 😆 🤣 😂
You should have posted the video tomorrow, since it is Ash Wednesday! ;-)
It totally didn’t occur to me in the moment 😮
Somebody send that man a box of new gloves : )
😂😂 I love it when you speed up the camera like that and talk at the same time. It sounds like the chipmunks are working on the vehicle
Hey Ray 👋. I was wondering if you ever considered getting a Drive-On lift 🤔. That sure would make working on these Biger vehicles easier, and safer.
It is ALWAYS nice to see the Wife unit!!!
Low rider song and a Dave audio, all is well in the world. 😂😂😂. Good day to you too Ray. You never cease to amaze!!
Queen song later lol
So glad to see you propping these things well . A truck falling on your head can really spoil your morning. Last thing we want is for your lovely wife to experience widowhood. "safety first last and always" well done you.
You jogging in front of van made my day. Thanks Ray! It's the simple things.
The notion that you have to drop the tank to change a fuel pump is
ASSININE!
I had this issue on my old car, a '97 Ford Aerostar. Longer and longer crank times = failing fuel pump. OK, but I soon found out that you cannot open a hatch in the floor and then access the top of the tank, oh no, can't have that! That might cost Ford $1.50 per vehicle....
My '01 Subaru Outback LL Bean has exactly that, a hatch in the floor so that you can easily access the fuel pump. It had the long crank issue and it was getting worse, so I bought a new OEM pump assembly [not just the motor, the whole assembly] on eBay for $247 and installed it myself. Took about an hour...
The Aerostar? I took it to a "shop" nearby and they dropped the tank and installed a new pump for $400. That night I drove it to work, and got half way there when it stalled. I wound up missing my jumpseat and a 6 pay hour trip that next day. What was wrong with the van? They drained the fuel, replaced the pump with the level float JAMMED and never put fuel back in the tank. Thus the tank registered full when it was empty!
Missing that 6 pay hour trip cost me over $1400, on top of the $400 that I spent on the repair. I SHOULD have taken them to small claims court over that since they admitted that they screwed up, but I just let the dead canine lay where it fell and chalked it up to the stupidity of not doing things MYSELF. I doubt Ray would have made that silly mistake. But really, this is an example of poor design.
Great video!
Now that’s a serious case of FILTHY HANDS oh my days Rayyy !! 😂
Why I love Ray, his language skills is unreal. When he took the fuel line retaining clips off: As he so often say, "Words": "... pocket screwdriver to unloosen the retainers...." new word (to me) - unloosen, except I thought unloosen = making it tight. So I looked it up and loosen = partially undo something. Unloosen = completely undo something or according to dictionary "to set it free". This not native English speaker learned from Ray, yet again.
How helpful that the New fuel pump had the color coding backwards.
Ray get you some liquid Glove, you rub it in, on your hands, let dry. It doesn't come off your hands, unless you get into water but grease and oil doesn't stick to your hands till you wash them when you want, it is a soap based , water soluble type of stuff.
34:30 WORKIN' IN THE COAL MINES. DAMN.
Sweet Patina needs to give this man a TKO wipe sponsorship
Great video!
Great job, Ray.
I have a 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4. Went to Costco for fuel and some things around the house. Came back out to find the fuel pump had decided to quit with a full tank of gas. Had it towed to a shop in town and picked it up with 1/4 tank showing. 20ish gallons went somewhere. I normally do my own wrenching, but dropping a tank with 26 gallons of fuel is more work than I want to do in the driveway.
For some reason, fuel pumps always fail with a full tank.
Nice work as always Ray🤙
Great job Ray, thanks for sharing.
great video
Favorite Rainman Ray sayings/memes:
* Anothah….!” (While throwing empty can of brake cleaner.
* Electron ratcheting unit.
* Poppen ze hood!
* Nice and shiny!
* (insert tool here) gravity!
Wife unit rocks. Love the video 🎉
thank you
I am not a van guy but it's amazing to me that that Ford van (or maybe others as well) didn't have an easy to access trap door to get to the fuel pump from above. It's not like there would be a lot on the way to have a trap door, it's a flat floor.
Standard way of getting in to old tanks can involve a jig saw and a chunk of floor from the scrapper !
Remember when Ray opened the back doors, all the crap in there.......he would've had to empty the van to gain access to the area above the tank.
Like always the two of you make a great pair
I thought you might replace a couple of those hoses while you had the tank out.
I was thinking the same thing, man those things were rotted out. Can't imagine not replacing them while your already in there : /
Good morning Ray 🌄
Another successful repair. YAY!
Those strap studs are a perfect example of why I bought the Milwaukee Insider. That thing makes short work of those types of fasteners. Also I love that AC company name.
Great video ray! Wife unit and the whole gang!!! You all are the best!!!
Good job sir
Well done Ray! That was the quickest diagnosis I recall seeing! 👏🏼
Yeah! Wife Unit!!!!
Love watching your videos and the fun with Lauren.
Howdy from Texas, Ray and Wife Unit!
GOOD JOB SINBA.
Great to see Lauren a bit more.
You are the man
Always amazed at the range of tools you have, Ray, and need, to do any job now. The half inch socket set, set of ring spanners and open enders, doesn't begin to cut it now.
I instinctively waved at Lauren when I saw her😊 Powering down Bew!!
Welcoming back!
Good Morning Ray from South Georgia!
Always look forward to your videos.
That snapshot diag was very cool .
I've experienced that "Murphy's Law of Fuel Pumps" personally. We used to have a '99 Astro AWD (wife unit vehicle), and when the fuel pump died it was less than 15 miles after my wife had filled the tank. What made it even worse was that it was a conversion minivan including all of the skirting around the perimeter that ate up 4-5" of height to crawl under. That thing sucked to work on even when it could be driven up onto ramps.
It is good to see your take time to have a little fun, from time to time. Working on autos fan be stressful at times.
Gone in 60 seconds tune playing in the background, cool
Happy Valentines Day to you and the wife unit. 😍😍🌷🌷💐💐🎊🎊
A easy fix to a simple problem. I only wish that the manufacturers would find another way to fit the fuelpumps so it would be easier to change them.
I like war playing in the background. Low rider
Good day ray
It was such a pleasure to see you with good old fashioned greasy mechanic hands. Now go grab a white bread sandwich & enjoy.
Hahahahah That's REALLY old school!!
Love the bionic chipmonk Ray appearances!! Way to go man! 😊
Good morning Mr Ray hope y'all have a great day. It snowed here last night lol, right after the rain. Middle Tennessee weather is just weird sometimes 😊
I had a 92 3/4 ton Suburban. When replacing it's fuel pump, I thought the tank was nearly empty (gauge was off) turned out to be half full. The tank slid off the floor jack I had it strapped to, in a wooden cradle and fuel poured all over the floor, and caught a shoplight laying near it Boom!!! Whole garage went up. Garage and the truck were a total loss.
😮😟😳
So so happy from Mr Corner of Death! 😊😊
I love the sign on the dual door of death! Safety first.
Ray put all the tubes on this time ye 😊
Ray's got some great music playing today ..
Got to love Ray’s black face hand palms.
AAA-NOTHER perfect repair by Ray's Repair!! Excellent... Have a great day Ray, Wife unit and co-worker units and an even better tomorrow...
Nice job Ray. Thank goodness for Go -Jo
01:12 and Rainman gets a THUMBS UP!!! Great diagnosis!!
This made me laugh the wrench just coming up at 8:15
Thank you..great stuff..
Gotta drops a soap box
Today is "Fat Tuesday". It looks like Grease Tuesday in your shop or a day before Ash Wednesday. Lauren got grease instead of ashes. 🤣
