Good morning we moved to Florida I’m looking for a new mechanic can you guys work on a 2016 Buick enclave premium
I have noticed the fender brace has been removed from the right side to install a 2nd battery. Does that work out alright?
31:30
Thats the first time i have seen the like button light up when you speak the words, like button. YT new feature?
Ray, set his clocks back so far on Sunday that Troy reappeared! 😉
He's not in jail, is he? Or 'gator poop?
@@wesgregg6451 Troy left Ray's employment to pursue other ventures.
@@MrGrumpy1 Okay, thanks.
You do good work Ray. Not all of us are haters and trolls. I appreciate your videos.
I agree. I've been watching Ray's work for over a year now and I would trust him to work on my vehicles any day.
Totally agree... There are unfortunately haters everywhere you go these days all the more so on social media but I suspect that the majority genuinely appreciate the work Ray and Lauren do and the videos that they are kind enough to share with us.
You're just a shaft riding sycophant.
Truck is in excellent shape. Hats off to the owner and mechanic who did the work.
Ray, I had the same experience with the child safety lock. I had never had a car with that feature but when I was going nuts thinking I would have to tear the panel off, my nephew (known for mischief) said "What about the kid lock?". Voila, it was fixed. Real wakeup call for an older adult driver. 🥴 Addendum: The mischievous nephew was the one who set the lock. 😡
My adult daughter couldn't open the rear door from the inside one Christmas Eve, 2005 Yukon. Early Christmas morning I investigated, took off the door panel, then noticed what looked like a diagram of a spaceman. Turns out that it was a child safety lock icon, had no idea vehicles had such lock.
And you give the nephew a whoopin for messing with the vehicle
@@thecuss6817 "RtFM."
Ray as you know I LOVE your channel, bud. One of those reasons is because when you make a silly move like forgetting to check the child lock you show us BUT you don't let it ruin your day, you take it with a good sense of humour and we all learn from it.
Handy tip, you can use the dipstick in the fill tube when you pour in the new oil and the oil will go down the dip stick so you don't spill it.
Nice to see someone who's taken care of his vehicle.
This is what I love about your videos Ray, you leave in your mistakes.
Oil should never be judged by the fingerprint method.
Only by taste and aroma.
Yes, aroma can tell you a lot as well as color. I know solid black, rather than brown, oil, even if still properly viscous, indicates a well past due change. As does a burnt smell. Never heard of the fingerprint method.
Aroma presumes that the mechanic has a sense of smell... I do not!!
I admit, I'm fascinated by the idea of a taste method...
@@minotaurbison Perhaps you're intended to try cooking with it to get the full flavor?
Careful, McD will sue for stealing their recipes.
You’re an interesting individual with the unique personality combination of cranial capacity, mechanical aptitude, work ethic, communication skill, common sense, traditional values and subtitle humor. Since discovering your site, I have ceased watching all other similar auto repair footage because they have faded into dullness in comparison. Keep it up, stay safe and be well….. and thank you.
3:35 it happened to my sister in law. She got across town before her engine was knock, knock, knocking on heaven's door. The lube shop tried to ignore her claim. Lol The local Judge ordered the lube shop to pay another shop to install a new engine in her Chevy Cavalier. They put a newer Cobalt engine in there. When you go to buy an oil filter for a 1998 Cavalier it doesn't fit. Lol That lube shop changed owners shortly after from Tweaker Automotive Disrepair. Haha
This happened to me on my Cavalier when I changed the oil. Next day I drove the car to work, and to lumch. Upon crank up at the cafe the filter blew off. and I immediately shut it off. Found that the parts place gave me the wrong filter. Close call to disastedr LOL
I enjoy watching so much that I didn't even realize that you had tricked me into watching another oil change video until 15:30!
Glad your shop is doing so well that you now have another employee
Love that you put a notification at the bottom of the video very early in and people are asking if Troy is back..... You can trick me into watching an oil change video anytime, Ill still enjoy it cause you're doing it 👊
The penny drop moment with the child safety lock made me smile. We've all done something like that!
Truely one of the best looking 04 Suburbans in the states.
I doubt that
This is the last of the GM trucks I would personally own, and be happy with. It is awesome when I see these in great shape.
I have a 2015 Silverado 2500 4x4 with 150000 miles and have had no problems at all except needed a new battery last year.
It was good to see that mint Suburban back in for a basic service Ray, the owner should be congratulated on it's condition and TLC he has shown it. Ok so child locks can beat the best we all know now.
Keep Safe Keep Strong 🦘🦘🦘🦘❤❤❤❤
Its good to have a video from Ray to watch!
Need to put a floor scrubber pad in your oil drain tray, might help with splash back
like them rubber things that are put in urinals.
@@felderup
No, like a big scotchbrite pad for a floor buffing machine. Oil would bounce off a rubber urinal pad the same as it does the plastic tray he’s using now. That would help in not losing the drain plug gaskets down the caddy drain too.
Thin layer of loose foam works quite well.
Watched a video where the mechanic used a shop vac on the fill pipe to create a vacuum in crankcase so no oil would drip or splash while removing drain plug .
I ordered a stahlbus drain valve for my truck, and it was delayed in shipping. Of course it arrived an hour after i did an oil change. I had seen a similar video and had an idea, got a helper to hold the vacuum for a minute and i changed from a plug to the valve and lost not a drop off oil. It's a good trick
@@legionofanonyes, it is and works on nearly all cars.
I'm impressed how clean the underside is.
All of the fancy oil filter wrenches in your collection and you go for old reliable, that is my favorite tool as well. And the owner of the Mustang is saying “Yes it still spins the tires” I wait to see if people who service my 2013 VW bug with a 2.0 T. 200 horse engine spin the tires by mistake thinking it is just a wimpy vw. My wife unit used to spin the tires every morning when she left the house when she was working from the office. And she wants an old mustang for me to modify. I’m still having to much fun with her bug!
Sorry to see Troy has left your business. I was looking forward to seeing more of his progression. Best of luck to him.
I thought the same. Hope he came back and STAYS. Lauren looks pretty as always.❤
@@charleskadletc2431this is an old video from before Ray ripped the carpet, insulation and dash out of his Silverado ..... Troy left and has not come back....
Troy has been gone a month or more already. He didn’t come back.
Ya, I was going to ask awhile back why we never see Troy anymore. But I never get any answers to my questions on here, so I didn't bother.
@@marymulrooney1334
Ray told us in one of his videos that Troy had moved on within a day or two of it happening.
Customer Matt’s laughter what spot on, knowing he had also missed the child safety lock!
Great looking Suburban, love that color. I agree when they are kept up on maintenance and appearance they will taking care of a lot longer.
When you did the underside inspection I remembered it from your previous job where you put those Z71 rear springs in. Indeed a well maintained Suburban. Glad he followed you to the new shop. I got a chuckle when you discovered the reason the rear door was inoperable was the child lockout feature!
WOW! THE Delorian time machine does work😂. Even rookie mistakes 😮
You mentioned not following diagnostics procedures. I caught a video yesterday.
A guy had a customer's car, they'd been for an oil change elsewhere and ended up with crank non start.
A quick check of the fuses, the oil change shop had pulled the fuse of the fuel injection and left it lying in the fuse box. Now that's sly.
I am glad to see Troy and awesome video Ray thank you
You have done well for yourself with having two people in the shop working for you and your family
On the LIGHTER side... .someone has GOT TO get a CLIP of Laura reeling up that Air hose(ROFL hahahaha) NICE!
Did she forget (or have yet to learn) to keep a hand wrapped loosely around it? I saw a kid do that. I forget what was connected to it, air chuck, maybe, or a push-to-operate blower nozzle. Something light that allowed the end (and itself) to warp him on the side of his head. Which was the best sort of lesson - it didn't kill him, but he sure felt it.
An engineer friend of mine had a 1956 ford with a 312 cui engine that had not had the oil changed in over 100,000 miles! He did change the filter every 2000 miles and explained that oil doesnt break down, only the additives fail. He added an additive every 5000 miles, it was stp! That engine ran like a top and never used a drop of oil. He had a degree in petroleum engineering. The car had over 250,000 miles on it when he passed away. The oil outlasted the owner! Food for thought.
I was thinking the whole time you should check to see if the Child Safety Lock was set😂
Yeah, you’d be surprised (or maybe not!😅) how often that gets us! As mechanics, we’re problem solvers, so something that simple, that we would normally check on our own personal vehicles….. Well, we just sort of assumed that someone would’ve checked that before they actually brought it in for service.
I’ve heard the oil on the finger thing and the reasoning behind it is that any microscopic particles suspended in the oil will latch on the the groove in your fingerprint and cause it to go sideways as opposed to clean oil that has no suspended particles will flow straight down.
I don’t follow this method for determining the life of my oil I actually try and change it early, but there’s the reasoning behind it and do with it as you wish!!
Wifeunit with the hose reel, nailed it!
"Why won't I read?" I can appreciate the South Park reference of the CentiPad episode.
Ray, your shop looks well organized, clean and efficient. The definition of a "detailed" shop. Well done!
I always add a new quart of oil to the crank case after it’s drained. to push any remaining old oil out. You can see the remaining black oil come out of the pan through the drain hole.
You were right on Mr Ray it was indeed a good great interesting video .
I especially liked the repair non repair door handle part .
Child locks are annoying and only keep parents grandparents locked out .
I like the snarky videos . Yours go both ways as you catch yourself as much as you do others. Maintenance is the maintenance , got to be done. While in the service - I was probably out before you were born , they taught us mechanics their system . So many hours , so many uses , so much load , then check the system or do the maintenance . As I moved to aircraft that became more important . I don’t know if it was over done , I do know that we never had a vehicle or aircraft fail unless there was a fault in equipment . Stay safe , have fun .
Glad to see your clean them door after your were done. Not many shops take care of customers vehicles like your do.
thankyou Ray,,what a palava re the lock,,😂have a good weekend,👌👍
We have a 2005 with 148k best vehicle to date, runs and runs with basic maintenance.
Oh yeah! I love my Suburban. Those earlier 5.3’s were fantastic, and about as bulletproof as a stock V-8 can be. Once they started putting active fuel management and displacement on demand, and all that other crap, their dependability quickly went downhill.
Use an awl to punch a hole in the bottom of the filter before removing to let the oil drain. It comes off much cleaner.
It is relaxing to watch someone do all I do to my JEEP
Welcome back Ray!! And yes I am very happy to be here!!!
Hope you had a great break
Good morning Ray 🌄 if Troy did come back well welcome back 🤗
My Dad use to put oil between his finger and thumb and stick them together to see how sticky it was to see if viscosity was good. He did that mostly while checking the oil. If he didn`t like it he changed it before the Mileage oil change was do.
Oil following the fingerprint, is just like not prefilling filters 😊
Welcome back ray and loren hope you guys had a good time at sema good to see Troy back
You realize this is a recently uploaded video that must have been filmed a while ago, right? His truck has it's the old carpet and only the headliner still on a table.
The shop is looking solid..
I enjoyed this oil change. and glad troy came back.
I've never heard of that myth about oil life, but the old school test that I use is sight, smell and touch. Depending on the oil fresh would be yellow/gold and well spent would be almost black, that was nearing end of useful life but not all the way there. Next would be smell, does it smell burnt? Then touch, get some on your index finger, apply some light pressure with your thumb and see how it feels to rub them together - if it feels like it's catching or almost tacky then it's spent. Try it with a little fresh oil and some known bad oil to get a feel for it, it works but don't rely too much on the smell as some modern oil smells burnt right out the bottle lol
Glad you enjoyed your break and glad your back to make more videos, thanks for that video
It’s throw back Monday! Semantic was awesome!
I’ve heard that from my dad ,whom has worked on cars for decades, about the oil not following the fingerprint grooves
Your Dad just wanted you to dribble old engine oil on your hand. 🤣🤣 You were probably holding the flashlight wrong!
the locked in car on passanger side is actually a chevy feature. For a man to be polite to his wife and open the door for her. :D Extra add on feature.
Great to have you back, hope your trip to Sema was fun!
Ahh Ray. I was watching going "Child lock, child lock..." LOL
You got there in the end though and we got to see the inside of the door for free.
Good morning Mr Ray hope y'all have a great day 😁
I love how chevy really hasn't changed much between the Silverados/tahoes over the last few decades. My 2013 tahoe has the same exact engine bay as that older burban 😂
Except it has AFM which destroys engines and that one does not. Also if memory serves me right the 2013's have aluminum blocks while the older units had Cast Iron blocks. Personally I would not buy or own any GM product after 2007. I know people have had good luck, but after 2007 the quality and longivity of GM really went to crap the same with pretty much every brand made except maybe Toyota and Honda which has effected them as well, just not as bad as the other brands. I was in need of a new truck and was about to buy a new truck until I researched all the issues they have now and the price they charge for them. I decided it is not worth the extreme cost so I looked high and low and found a really nice 2003 GMC from an elderly man and purchased it for 6k. I figure its cheaper to buy one of those and replace the engine and transmission when the time comes then to buy a new truck and get a more reliable vehicle for less.
@JasPlun yeah i completely agree. If my engine were to fail, id look into installing one without the flex fuel BS
If you find a 2003 that hasn't been beaten to all hell or corroded away, that's money. Easy to work on and parts are plentiful. This 2007 Suburban is beautiful. It is a gas hog but the owner is saving a fortune not buying a new SUV, which I would bet this will outlast.
Even a 2013 is acres better than a 2023. I think about 5-6 years ago we reached the point where buying new cars is like going to the casino. The house always wins.
@@Starchface They are all over the place dude. Facebook Market place I see good ones all the time still worth fixing. Now I live in Texas so we are not effected by the rust belt like some of you up North, but you can come down South and buy a good used older truck. If we will start saying No to these crazy prices they will come back down, we also need to tell the Government to get its nose out of private business the EPA has too much power and they are the reason we are in this mess to begin with! Anyway I hear you, but if your patiant good ones are still available. I paid $6500 for mine with 174k miles. The Body is in great shape and interior as well so I will drive it until it needs a new engine and transmission and will buy a new engine from Powertrain products when it fails. Only thing I have had to do to it which is my fault for not inspecting it better is a rear main seal was leaking bad so had to address that and tie rods are needed soon as well.
I was told if your eggs float in it wile cooking its still good, but if flames break out in the pan its past time to change it. But i like to push it and run it 3 more years.
Hi Ray love watching your videos keep them coming , and for the oil myth, it to late if the oil is still good its already drained.
Man dude I missed you last week. U part of my morning routine and it threw me off. Good to have u back. Hope Sema was fun!
Yea I missed not seeing his videos last week too glad Ray is back !!!
pouring things ROCKS
I would be very skeptical of the "fingerprint method" for testing oil. Among other things, different viscosity fluids will behave differently.
Nice see Troy back 😂
Well it’s good to see casta Troy again
Unless there are unknown circumstances, it is too bad Troy left. He should have stuck at a job for at least a year. He has also left a good learning situation because of the wide breadth of jobs that come through your shop and you willingness to tutor him.
The 'insufficient blood' ramblings reminded of something that happened many years ago. A friend had quite a serious car accident, lost quite a bit of blood and was hospitalised. A few weeks later the hospital released him, advising that he shouldn't drive, operate heavy machinery, etc for a while. Being the 20-year-old he was, first thing in mind was to see his girlfriend, trouble being that as soon as things started to get a little 'cosy' he promptly fainted! Not enough blood to go around, apparently, and young men's bodies being young men's bodies, i'll leave you to guess where the blood-flow was prioritised!
When I say 'a few years ago, I actually meant 45 years ...
Damn that's a crisp truck right there
Video out of sequence. The headliner in the Dirtymax was installed before Vegas. In this video the headliner is out of the Truck and Ray mentioned wanting to remove the carpet in the truck which was removed weeks ago.
"No snarky videos or comments"
Ray: Snark Cannon loaded and fuse lit... 🔫
Good for you for showing us a really silly mistake. It's part of the beauty of your channel .
Your customer said "gravity" when the flashlight fell.
This was a fun video to watch. Just means you can have fun in the shop! I try this any chance I get.
We had a mechanic change the oil on a motor. He came to fill it up and he couldnt get it filled to the right level on the dip stick. Turned out he hadnt put the sump bung back in so new oil went into waste oil barrel.
My father was a janitorial supply salesman. Sprayway glass cleaner kept groceries on our table during my teenage years.
Welcoming back!
Ray even before you started to to check the lock I said to myself check the child safety lock. I'm surprised the owner didn't know that. Anyway nice truck well maintained. Great job Ray.
Good morning! I enjoyed the Sema videos a lot. You looked like a boy in a toy store. And I decided to look through all the comments… and I can’t believe some of the remarks people make. Why would you, as a viewer, not think that some videos would be made ahead of time in case of a lapse in recording new ones. The fact that Troy was gone and all of a sudden he’s back would have been a huge clue🥸 . Amount other clues it somewhat amazes me…. Making a video takes a tremendous about of time and patience. If Ray is holding the camera and using one hand to do repairs, we’ll… I got all I can do to use 2 hands. I enjoy the effort and humor of the videos. If you don’t like them, remember what God made, the “off” button. And the snarky comments….well enough said. Enjoy everyone ! Great work! Stay safe, Bill
She's a beauty for sure! I've been looking for one for a few years now and no luck. Had one guy willing to sell me his, then played me around for a month. Needless to say he disappeared and I never was able to get it
ray while you where doing the door latch all i kept yelling at the screen was "Check the Child Safety Latch"
i have seen them activate from someone brushing up against them with a bag
uh huh... As soon as the problem was described that's where my mind went and before he'd even finished removing the panel he showed the child lock on camera and sure enough... but then he went and removed the panel anyway. 🤣
Good morning from Higgins lake Michigan
Happy manic Monday Ray. A fine video to start the week.
Cute. Lauren says "Got It" just like you.
Gotta love that feeling of looking down and seeing the most obvious thing in the world just staring at you. Oh well, it happens. Enjoyed the video Ray!
Had the child safety lock experience myself this week. Took out the kiddie safety seats to fit adults in the back and the rear doors wouldn't open. Couldn't find the switch to turn the safety lock off - turns out you need the ignition key to insert into a tiny opening in the rear doors and turn the key a quarter turn. Lesson learned.
Heard about giving your old oil the finger many years ago. A lab tech at Veedol told me 'that's absolutely incorrect' (not the phrase he used but meant the same). He told to try it with new oil and I was surprised to find that some oils behave that way when new and some don't.
Thank you
Ray.. back in the day our child safety lock was dad telling us "don't mess with the door handles or you'll fall out.. and I'm not stopping to pick you up! " LOL!! At that time we had a 67 Tornaddo, with vinyl seats and sliding from one side of the backseat to the other.. LOL!!
Anyways.. I'm 55 and still like to spin the tires and do power slides.. Hee Hee! Another fun video Brother.. Thanks..
I like using the 6qt box of havoline longlife oil on my Tahoe. Made my engine run better and have better oil pressure. Perfect for 6qt engines.
Great looking Suburban, love the paint color.
Huh!? No snarky remarks?
GOOD LUCK WITH THAT!
ROFL
😁😅😂🤣👍
Regarding the oil not following contours of the fingerprint.... The way I figure it, if I'm draining it and it does either of those things, it doesn't really matter since it's not in the car anymore. ;) The only thing I look for in drained oil is sparkles. Lacking any of that, I just drain and replace.
Hi Ray and Lauren, love your videos. Is Troy back with you, hope so, he's a good kid,and a hard worker.
Ray: You are starting to look like Sam the cooking guy with the using the whole roll of paper towels to wipe off.
Yay back to ab normal watching with my coffee😎
