Words..
My heart goes out to everyone that was impacted by those large tornadoes yesterday and last night in Arkansas and the previous ones in Mississippi. I'm hoping that there aren't any Hurricanes that affect your area this year. Those 3.4 engines were a pretty good engine if you didn't have head gasket problems. I like how the rad support bars were marked to which side they were on. I'm hoping they have you service the transmission before it packs it in. Looks like there are a few items that need to be addressed in the near future.
When I opened it in the middle of the night, it said it was 43 minutes old. I was 767th like.
I saw that video. Skid steer playtime!
She did a great job.
Hi Ray! My eyesight has been degrading, so I was a little nervous when I recently went in for cataract replacement. Half sedated, I heard the surgeon say: “Unclick!" And I knew I was in good hands. Thanks for all of the uplifting videos, and mini clicks to all!
LoL--that's Funny...

@@lordrichter3075 "Where's the Brake Kleen?"
Nice.
Ray when splicing wires like on the fan's. A good tip is don't cut the wires the same length stagger them about an inch apart. So, when you solder them and heat shrink, they won't pile up at the repair and will fit back in the loom also it eliminates your fear of wire going into the other connection. That way you don't have to put looming around them and try and stick them back in the loom where they won't fit it leaves a cleaner look when done.
That's good advice, but it wouldn't have been possible in this case since the wires had already been clipped for the previous repair.
I appreciate that you preserved the OE hose clamp so the owner doesn't lose any judging points at the car show.
They have "Shit Box" car shows now?
@Dan Kellett as a matter of fact they do. Concours de Lemons springs to mind.
Hilarious really :)
@@Jay.Kellett Evidently..... yes.
Apparently there is a lot of competition, too. 😳
@ My Cancer Journey I don't know you, but I wish you the best possible situation with all of that!
Ray; I used several hundred of those solder sleeves on Delta rockets. Extreme temperatures, vibration, flight stresses. They are pretty reliable. 17,600 MPH tested!
If one of your rockets was used to launch an SUV into orbit, would that involve Ford Escape velocity?
@@MonkeyJedi99 very puny, thx to you
❤Where do u buy these items.Thanks.😊
Saw a hack for retrieving dropped nuts.
Get a small magnet and put in fingerr of rubber glove then put on rubber glove and you have a magnet finger.
After an EF4 tornado crushed my Corolla a friend gave me a horribly rusted 2000 Pontiac Montana. It’s the same van and everything that’s not rusted is falling apart due to age… so you know I watched this VERY closely. :) I’ve already had a few coolant-related adventures with this thing so I should point out that there are two bleeders… and it’s notoriously difficult to fully burp the system.
My mom & dad had such a Montana. Other than the leaking intake gaskets... I thought it was a very decent powertrain. Powerful enough, smooth, quiet, fuel efficient.
@@boggy7665 Yeah. This thing still shifts like a dream so it’s a shame that the rust is ultimately going to be what ends its life. Already had shops refuse to work on it due to the rust which is why I’m doing so much DIY. It clearly spent a lot of time up north! I have a feeling that the people refusing to work on it here in Georgia are spoiled and have no idea how bad it gets.
Fluke meters are the best in the world as far as I know thank you for the video
I'd recommend getting a deflector for your heat gun to help with the solder sleeves. It will help disperse the heat evenly and help with solder flow, especially when you can't get the heat gun into the tighter spaces. Great video as always!
also, it's been my experience that heat guns tend to have hot and cooler areas in the output airflow, so it's good to find those. sometimes i'd ID 'em with magic marker.
Exactly: Google "Wagner 2366225 Reflector / Curved Deflector Heat Gun Nozzle" (or similar). One of these and a shockingly high temp setting on the heat gun and the solder sleeves will go a lot quicker.
Exactly 👍👍
I have one of those Power Probe PPSK Butane Soldering guns with the heat shield attachment that works pretty well.
I like the 270 degree ones that curl almost all the way round keeps the heat where you want it
Rainman back 11years ago we bought the cousin of this beast, the Montana. It now sets in the drive needing the heater hoses changed. I'm way to fat to get behind the engine.😅😅😅😅😅
Morning Ray, it’s 2am east coast Australia, can’t sleep, watching your informative videos, beats the hell out of reading a book, keep ‘em coming.👍cheers, David
It’s 3:45am for me in Queensland and just watched it. Ray if you see this comment a quick question. Those top mounts are they actually motor mounts or torque mounts. I think I’ve heard you call them torque mounts before that’s why I ask.
Looks like you fixed the issue, so that's an A+ in my book. My mechanic prowess is limited to cleaning out a carb on a little 90cc bike and replacing a voltage regulator on a lawnmower. 😂 It's just fun to watch and learn from a dude that obviously enjoys what he's doing.
Now that's a work van. That thing's been to the moon and back.
Almost literally too! The moon is 238,000 miles away at it's nearest point (thanks google)

@Richard Cranium great username 😂
I like those style of wire butt connectors! Things have changed in the 4 years I've retired! Love learning new things. Surprised that 3.4 eng lasted that many miles. They're usually boat anchors! GM never should have stopped the 3800/ 3.8
My wife's 2004 Chevy Venture Van had 179,000 ish. miles on it. It was a very dependable ol' girl. Sold it cheap still running great, bought a 2010 front wheel drive Escape with a 3.0L in it. That was great as well. NY rust got to both of them. Sucks, I miss both of them now.
I like Ray’s attention to detail, making good the wiring.
Weve had an 03 Venture since 05. Has been the best vehicle we have owned. That motor trans combo is peppy and fast. Raised 4 kids in it. Even took it up once to Deep Lake atop the Rockies with 5 kiddos crammed in with our gear snug.
Have rebuilt entire front end twice, water pump, battery and such but still going great with 230k mi.
Oldest Son rear ended a Pickup with a hitch so i replaced that whole radiator/condensor/fan pack. I remembered how tight that all is in there when you were digging in. Great Work! Love Your videos and Your Calm Cool Collected approach to all Your repairs. 👍
I appreciate you including the New Jersey pronunciation of radiator. The first time an elderly NJ customer corrected me: "Rad-EE-ater" I was a little taken aback. I learned that everybody in the free world has been saying it wrong, except for NJ folks!
Another great video from Rainman Ray's Revives. On a different note, has everyone noticed how much more full of life Ray is since going out solo? Keep up the videos and the great content Ray!
That's real confidence Ray. I don't know that I would button everything up without at least trying to start it and see if my connections and new motor worked.
Ray, i hope your kids are ok. Take care of your family and come back when ready.♥
One trick with the paperclip thread fix: if you grab the long ends with a stout pair of pliers, you can pull it tight and wiggle it back and forth until it breaks off right at the bolt head. Saves the cutting, and doesn't leave the sharp ends (like you left on the zip ties!)
great video. As an electrician, I have used solder sleeves and recommend that you 'tin' the cables ,this allows the solder to flow easy before applying the solder sleeve.
You reinstalled the driver side motor brace bolt opposite of removal 13:39. Now looks like it is going to rub the heater hose 44:55. Or so it appears.
Admire your persistence in the midst of all the codes. Old car back on the road thx to you.
Good video. The only thing I would have done differently would have to test the new motor before putting everything back together 👍
Procedure wise he could have unbolted the motor mount from the frame and just swung all of it up and out of the way. Just a thought for next time.
Just because it's new doesn't mean it's good--Rainman Ray.
Your scan tool yells out mercy when you plugged it into that Venture. 😊
Pro tip on soldering: dip a little rosin Flux on soldering points to help better flow and soldering acceptance on the surfaces.
Love your content and format. Awesome work, brotha!
Going to do some maintenance on my car. Got sheetrock screws, wire nuts, duct tape, JB Weld, coat hanger wire and zip ties.....ready to go!
Neat paperclip trick.
For the hogged out hole.
You saved the engine by replacing a cooling fan motor.
That's why it matters to refer to what it is by it's technical name.
That's why you're a technician.
You know the difference.
The mount insulators are referred to as "moderr mounts"
In the vernacular.
There's no confusion.
Unless Satan is your motor.
Or motivator.
Motion is your desired intention.
Yet you have this van.
That's where Ray has to come in to assist and save your engine.
If your powerplant was a motor, you would charge your vehicle.
This van needs gasoline to run it's powerplant, an internal combustion engine.
You add motor oil, and it's named motor oil because it was used to lubricate motors before the advent of the internal combustion of liquid fuels in the Otto cycle used for internal combustion engines when they came into use.
Happy day, Ray.
Ray, an article on the internet says an engine uses combustion to convert chemical energy into mechanical energy. A motor uses electrical energy to create mechanical energy. Another difference that I remember from my schooling is that an engine creates its own power by burning gas, oil, or wood (ie. to make steam) whereas a motor has power externally applied to it.
Somebody of course was already in there. Not only the wire nuts but those support bars are labeled driver and passenger.
Just something to tuck away for the future. GM V-6's of that era had a problem with older Crank Position Sensors going heat sensitive. Car would die while driving like it ran out of fuel. Let it sit a while and it would start right up and go a few miles (or hours) and die again. I had three of them and all three would fail identically. Get the car towed to the dealer and it would fire right up and run fine..... for a while. Found on GM tech that actually knew his stuff and as soon as it died would toss a scope on the CPS and it had no signal. Made it easy to diagnose the other two cars.
WOW!! 190,000 on my Freelander I thought was a lot, but i have a wagon in work wit 485,000 on it !!
Great video Ray. Never used the paper clip on striped threads. NEAT TRICK. Love the little blue cutters. 👍👍
A lot of people argue about the proper use of the terms engine & motor. Some think that they are used interchangeablywhile other say that they are exclusive. But here's the real rub. A motor is any device that converts energy from one form into another which means that all engines are motors. An engine is a classification of motor that specifically convert energy into either physical energy (i.e. motion or thrust). Engines can either burn fuel, whether it be solid, liquid or gas, or they can collect energy from a source, such as radioactive isotopes or sunlight. Basically, all engines are motors but not all motors are engines just like how all thumbs are fingers but not all fingers are thumbs. So, calling the engine in a car a motor is 100% accurate despite what any internet trolls might say.
FINALLY! I see so many others trying to distinguish them as something mutually exclusive when one word shoots their explanation to sh!t: “Motorcycle.” ;)
A paperclip is what I used to use to smear the dielectric grease inside spark plug boots with.
Great tutorial and venture.
This van was the one that convinced me never to buy a GM product again. We bought ours new and it blew out its head gasket twice and ac compressor once before 100K miles. Finally sold it for $3000 and never looked back. I'm amazed this one lasted this long. Nice job.
When my 2005 Impala started to run a little warm in heavy traffic at low mph, the short term fix was turn on ac to turn on both fans until I was back on highway at speed.
Yes mr. Ray it’s y the whole automotive industry in the early 2000’s. Switched to ecm’s being located under the hood rather than under the dash. Had a very big problem with the comps overheating. Other than static charge the number one killer of any processor is heat. Y servers are liquid nitrogen cooled. You probably knew that but if not there’s fun facts for the day.
A Rainman Ray's car repair and a big ol'cuppa coffee, what could be a better start to the day. Thanks Ray, I look forward to these videos each and every day!
It's also a great end to the day for me here in Australia.
That's how I start my day, every day!
I believe Ray had at least 4 before the video started..
Curious... how many codes did set after test drive? Good work Ray. Keep'em coming.
Thanks!
The crimp and seal connectors that Eric O uses are far more efficient time-wise. I think I'd trust them over the shrink with solder connector too, the solder in those just seems to sit on top of the joint no matter what brand I try. If I heat them more it makes me doubt the integrity of the heat shrink part and I wind up putting extra insulation on. At that point they're no longer much of a convenience. For serious current carrying capacity I use an uninsulated crimp connector that you feed both wires in to and glue-lined heat shrink. That kind of stuff is best obtained from an auto electrical supplier, but don't hesitate to modify what you have, like removing insulation or lugs/eyelets from readily available crimp connectors. The tug test will tell you if your connection is satisfactory. A proper set of crimping pliers for the heavier wires makes all the difference too.
People always ask me "what's best connection ...solder or crimp".....my reply is always ..."which ever one is done properly"....but those heat with solder connectors I've never liked since the first time I saw 1..
I paid $1,200 for my 2000 Venture about 15 years ago,.. I just got around to changing the spark plugs a couple of days ago,. at 293,000 miles... 5 out of 6 plugs looked like new,.. Amazing,.. at 300k this 3.4l doesn't burn a drop of oil...
Hmm, we're they platinum or iridium plugs?
@@ricebike They were AC Delco 41-940... double platinum... The OEM plug for this engine.. Again,.. I'm amazed at this engine... Doesn't burn oil,..no misfires,..original injectors,.. Fires right up,..etc...
Hey Ray everything ok there no videos
This is why I love working on Toyota/Lexus cars. So much more room and you do not need to take half the car apart to reach 1 10 mm bolt. Vans are also so much more compact and a pain in the but to get to things.
29:53 my simultaneous there we go made me laugh so hard i had to farted.
I have an 04 Chevy venture van and I had that same issue with the fan motor a couple years ago. Now it has much bigger issues
I've been using those soldering crimp connectors and they're pretty nice.
What works really well when you're worried about the plastic degrading over time is to have some regular heat shrink to put over the solder one but it gets a little finicky if you don't have a lot of spare length for the regular heat-shrink to stay out of the heat while doing the soldering.
I can do all the repairs Ray does but I sure as heck couldn’t do them one handed! Lol
I think I watched ten videos before suddenly there appeared a second hand on the screen. That was a real *"Whoa!"* moment...
Heads up on this one Ray if you haven't seen it. TV station KTLA 5 put out a YT video of a truck tire flying off a pickup
truck on the I-118 in Chatsworth ,CA which hit a Kia in the front and the car flipped over completely. Dramatic video caught
by a Tesla driver behind the accident . The driver of the totaled Kia was shaken but not injured. WATCH IT!
The realy bummer thing was after the Kia flipped and crashed the truck tire rolled up and hit it for the final humiliation.
it is crazy what you have to take off to access the items you need to replace.
grate job getting it fixed, I could not believe they used wire nutz for the wires!
just dump water and dirt into the contacts!
I believe my 99 Buick Century had same engine. Got rid of it at 280k, and engine was still running like a top, while the car was rusting away around it. Great engine.
Great job on touching and fixing what others won’t touch. Makes you the pro!
And more $$$$$👍
3:50. My 01 silhouette had wire nuts on the fan wires the same way 😂🤣. If one fan dies, or has a broken connection, there will be no low speed, as the way it is set up. Low speed is achieved by running both in series at 6v, high speed they are in parallel at 12v.
Had a 03 venture just like that. When gave it to a son for a work van it had 250000 miles on it. Glad I never had a fan problem.
That van makes me want to shower just looking at it. It certainly is doing a great job as the tool it is though. I have to say that engine sounded just fine despite the mileage.
Thanks for showing me those new wire connectors I've never seen anything like it and it's a great idea have a good weekend
we had a venture, and the fans are funny, on normal operation the relay system has them running in series, so they work at low speed, and on high speed the relay changes them to a parallel conection to apply full 12V to the motor
10 times around the earth Thank You Ray!
The old Chevy Venture mini-van - I had one as a loaner and it was a great people mover.
Ray, from an earlier video - the Romans started their year in March so September thru December were, in fact, the 7th thru 10th months. The last month of their year was February. But things became complicated when politics intervened. To prevent a new Senate from taking power, the existing Senate would add days to Feb to extend their rule. Augustus put an end to this and standardized the year but we still add a leap day to Feb every 4 years. Of course, this is a bit too much (we now don't add a leap day on years ending with "00") but this change wasn't made until the 1700s when we switched from the Julian calendar to the Gregorian calender. July and August replaced the original names of months 5 and 6. The months were not added in after the fact. Switching the year to start in January came later.
I used a second black heat shrink tube over those connectors. then I used some high temp eletrical tape over them, then I put that plastic wrap over it taped off at the ends.
Uhh Ray where did you go? It's been two whole days with no repair video. You can't leave me hanging like this! Was it something I did we can work this out just bring us more repair videos!
I've never seen so many dash rugs other than on your channel. Nice fix ray I always enjoy✌️✌️
Those are excellent solder ring connectors. Initially, I was very reluctant to use them since I soldered and heat shrunk wires. A heat gun, high temperature 3M tape and new wire loom did the trick. They held on very well even after pulling/tugging on the connections. Excellent product.
I get a kick out of the sound effects of satellites linking up in outer space. Just perfect.
I had a fan motor go out, as I was taking it out of my car I dropped it on the ground and a heap of carbon from the brushes came out, I then hooked it up directly to power and hey presto it worked, so I just put it back in and pressure washed both fan motors, ran for another 4 Years b4 I decided to replace both...
So sometimes it just needs a good clean...
I can't Comment about the 3.4 liter Engine but the 3.8 used during that time was a Very Good Engine, my 2004 Chevy Impala LS had the 3.8 that went 18 years before wrecked without a Wrench ever put on engine-this car had the original water Pump and Alternator. Best Car that I have ever owned...
I use a handheld butane soldering tool with deflector when using those solder less connectors
It really makes it nice when you fix things you really don't have to!
Thanks for the entertainment !
Id take then heat shrink solder connectors and chuck them in the trash.
Solder always flows to the heat and tightest joint, sliding the wires togather like thats not making the joint tight, you might try and crimp the connection first.
Or use a on that size wire yellow insulated butt splice coat it in grease then heat shrink it with long heat shrink on the edges to seal in the grease pocket connection the butt splice with make a good connection with 1 ohm of restance
The grease will repel water. And the shrink wrap will hold the grease in place.
This is similar to what the phone company does with under ground barried wires. Ford use to pack connectors with grease to keep water away from contacts.
The solder has to flow into the wire joint,
Also if it melts at 1200 drg the temp of your heat gun its a very soft solder its not going to withstand any moisture.
I’ve done heads on 5 equinoxes with 3.4. Fun times. Cheapest was $250. Had lousy tires.
We had an 03 Venture and had to sell it for parts a couple weeks ago... We needed something easier to get in and out of that wouldn't freeze up in the middle of going to and from work... I got more for the parts than what we originally paid for the car at auction ($750 parts vs $500 winning bid)...
Eventually we got our replacement...a 13 Equinox that will be going back to the dealer for recall work in three weeks while still under warranty...
Hi Ray... That van is in need of maintenance. I'm sure it would would run better and the trans would shift better. Shame it's not taken care of. Thanks for the video!
$10k of repair on a van worth $2k is not a common sense approach for any business.
Thermal engineer here: ..Yes, putting the electronics unit in a cool air flow stream is definitely a good idea. Much better than having it sit basically downstream of the radiator like most of the late model Silverdodo pickups.
This van has the same engine as my old 2001 Impala. Seeing that old V6 made me sad. I miss my old impala to this day. Was ä great car that sounded sexy as hell revving up ä hill.
I've seen a few cooling fans over the years with power and ground supplied at the connector, but wouldn't run the fan after exposure to heat from a nearby exhaust manifold.
They can kill an engine from intermittently working during the tests and then not working out on the road.
If the motor runs with jumpers and the circuits test good, we would push them toward when the fan should run.
Then we found they did run while held.
Tauruses were one good example.
Saw a charger doing it last summer with aftermarket fans.
Ray spends so much time raising the dead vehicles. It’s always amazing. I still get goosebumps when he says he’s gonna probe something hee hee
😮
I live outside of the Motor City and you rarely see any of these old GM minivans. You're much more likely to see old Odysseys or Chrysler Group vans.
Yeah, Jesus comes to mind.
He can probe me anytime!
For a very long time I was incredibly suspicious of wire nuts. They are so simple that it's hard to take them seriously. But efter looking into it they have turned out to be incredibly safe secure and efficient, when used in houses and anywhere where they will not be subjected to moisture and vibrations...
So while I have learned to like them I am also very aware that they are not to be used in cars!
Dog Gone -> nothing is easy but Ray handles it with humor and professionalism. THANKS RAY!
Hi Ray,
Those shrink solder connections are strong and safe and a single strand of the copper wire will not work their way through the shrink wrap.
👍 There is a passenger side bleeder on my 3.4 1999 Venture. Thank you 4 fan replacement procedure
Some for my 2000 Pontiac Montana (same van). I’ve also heard they are notoriously difficult to burp.
I would not advise to use these solder connerctors. the used solder does not melt into all strands properly. it is almost certainly a weak connection. in a car, where almost all manufacturers cheap out on the wires, that connection will be the weakest point. I switched over to good quality crimp heatshrink glue connectors with the proper crimp tool. since you make a living from your work I strongly suggest you make a switch before something potentially dangerous happens.
I was trained in government as a mechanic. I later did the course as mechanical engineer.
I have had to deal with ak47s pointing at me while I work, to being "Mechanic on Station" when King (then Prince) Charles was in my area.
Coping with the related stress was easy. Doing the job as easily as Ray does them - very difficult.
My car has a 3.4 and I maintained if perfectly...just rebuilt the while top end for preventive maintained it has I believe 170 thousand miles on it
I was told many moons ago that “all engines are motors, but not all motors are engines”. Your deep thought of the day
I noticed when you replaced the driver side rear motor mount bolt, you placed the head of the bolt to the inner side of the mount. That left the treaded side sticking out to the radiator hose. The bolt should have been started from the outer side as it was before you removed it.

Howdy, i have a topic to discuss this is something some of us have/will run across. forget "Engine" mounts

Speed of light this time , you are just doing it. Great job Ray , greetz John.
i would pull up and shut my truck off and raise the hood and my clutch fan would still be spinning. and when i would start it it would take about a minute before it got up to speed. so i changed to a electric fan and i love it. plus he gave me about 2 mpg and alot more power. i know thats not saying much but when i only for 9mpg anyway. only have 239 hp 100 are dead and 75 or on strike. so any thing had to help. but during summer when its really hot outside i can pull up and the fan will kick off after about 20 seconds then they will turn back on for a couple minutes. and i see you changed shops. i guess i need to go back and watch a few of your videos to see what happened.
Wow. For perspective: I can undo two top 10mm bolts, disconnect fan and harness clips, and pull fan/shroud/coolant reservoir assembly in a couple of minutes on a 2006 Matrix. Also, the house wiring is hilarious.
An engine converts power into motion/ a railway locomotive.
A motor is a machine supplying power to drive a device/ a car.
That's what the Oxford English Dictionary says about the 2 terms
Your luck is way better than mine. The day I put everything back together before I test the replacement component is the day I get a DOA and have to pull everything back apart again.
We all should send Ray gift cards for his favorite coffee shop, so he is always on top of his "A" game.
"We" disagree.
Yea ill send him a gearwrench gift card
For a lot of years, the GM 3.1/3.4 was my favorite engine. They all had leaking intake manifold gaskets, and paid 6 to 6.5 hours. Do 10 of those a week, and that is a pretty good start to your next paycheck. I even saw one leaking at 6k miles, covered under warranty so the owner didn't have to pay for that one.
Mine is leaking out the bolts whole that holds it down not getting any in the engine yet but the valve has been clanking I was reading that they fall apart
Very nice RV you won't be sorry you ever bought that hope you have a nice time in it.
an excellent extended upload thankyou Ray,,,have yourself a good week,,👌👍
