I wonder how many of the repair jobs were paid for by the parents of the vehicle, seems like some cars owners attempted to repair the car but failed. This vehicle made me think of this issue. Thank you sir for sharing.
What the heck is wrong with you Ray? Scotch tape to repair a leak? Well, I never. All those years in the business and you put Scotch tape in the engine compartment to effect a repair? For shame on you! To your room with no dinner!
Okay, when Ray broke out the Scotch tape, I had to scroll down to see if this vid had been uploaded on April 1. Disclosure: I did, once, back in 1970, fix the shifter linkage to a old Saab with a pair of bobby pins that I'd cadged from a passing lady, who must've thought I was muy weird. (Fix was temporary, of course, and it wasn't my Saab.) (Okay, I'm not sure today if it was a Saab, but it was a 3- or 4-speed manual foreign compact jobbie.)
We had a vacuum leak on a car that the part was some unusual rubber-manafold thing and on order, used electrical tape and zipties to make a band-aid fix did great until we got the parts for a proper repair
One small heater hose was bulged near the clamping spot and is very likely to blow and leak soon, I would have cut both of the small hoses about 1" inch shorter to remove bulged rotted rubber areas. Other wise a very good fix!
Great video, Ray! Vacuum leaks can cause all kinds of grief. In the 80s, my father in law tried to sell his 69 Mustang and telling buyers it needed a transmission. I took a look and found the problem, a cracked vacuum modulator line. I fixed that and we went for a ride, it now worked just fine. He was able to sell it for much more due to it not needing a transmission.
I once repaired a Mitsubishi Galant fuel injection metering valve by using sewing cotton and superglue at 160k km. Survived to 240k km before computer fried itself by catching fire. The replacement valve was listed at $1500, and was not able to be ordered due to lack of demand at that price point. The vehicles secondhand value in good order was $3000. That extra 80k km in service gained was pure gravy. Some fixes are by necessity, require re-engineering parts.
I watch you all the time with captions on and its highlarious…. wrenches are [MUSIC] And air tools are [APPLAUSE] and every once in a while youtube thinks oil is "oral"
Your killing me with wrestling with the scotch tape. You gotta have some good ole duct tape in that big fancy tool box. LOL. Keep up the good work sir.
Worked on my wife's car today, voltage regulator, spark plugs and oil change (+filter, no pre-fill). I found myself tightening some bolts with a man made "CLICK", I blame you for my behavior 😀
Electrical tape is better and you know it. Btw thats some nice big brain pcv valve, im impressed by how the engineers and designers have every day a new idea about planned obsolence.
Nothing to laugh about. One day I got a service/limp mode driving on my ford focus, as there was a vacuum leak. Because it was on a highway and driving only 30 mph I had no option but to act fast. The only shop I could find in the closest area was electric shop. Bought therethe isolation tape, stopped the vaccum leak and kept on driving. For the next 5k miles as I forgot about the leak. Only during the service the mechanic reminded me about it asking if there have been any problems with the car, because he encountered a whole isolation tape winded on one of the rubber hoses LOL
I'm not a mechanic but ant stretch, but love watching your videos and explanations with your humor. Also watching Scotty Kilmer is great too. keep them coming.
Luurrve yo stuff. Folks call me Geez , i`m from Uk. never had the equipment you have when i was a youngster , But winter for me was a super pay cheque. flat batts , frozen engines , Head gaskets flat tyres. wots this global warming crap? dont pay us G/Monky`s, Tech boys.We never get any appreciation. Keep on trucking. do yo ting,reflections of days gone past, never even had a lift to do things on. All ground level or on jacks. Heehee. still love getting dirty. Love your one handed approach.
Aye matey, load up the parts cannon on the starboard bow and fire away!
Duct tape would have stuck better you troll….😆

DUCT TAPE is the correct adhesive to use! 😆
WOW that sucks you should have used electron containment tape to repair that atmospheric gas intake hose and not waste money on new parts

I can't believe you used cheap tape to carry out a major repair like that! Please don't lose your sense of humour.
Funny to see the Citgo gas price at the end. Only 7 months ago gas was half the price.
That was funny
I would have used duck tape because if you can't fix it with duck tape or bailing wire it's really broken. Lol
Considering that I was watching this on 1 April 2022, ……well I assumed it was an April Fool joke!!
🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄😅😅😅😅😅😅 tape

Those are sandhill cranes we have lots of them in Michigan1
You didn't fool me Ray. Any Automotive technician or Enthusiast knows to use Moroso 200MPH Duct Tape. LOL
For a manic you applied that tape terribly!! 😂
Scotch tape? Not acceptable. Please use ducktape.😁. Thanx for vid
Interesting part design on this one. Never seen something like that.
All you needed to do is brake clean the hose and use some real tape on that some good old duck tape it would have been good from now on
MF ing FORD RANGER!! YEAH !!
whoever designed that PCV should be shot.
there's a youtube video of how to apply scotch tape to a pcv valve hose.
My man really just used echolocation to find that leak 😂

If you don't fire the parts cannon, how will the parts store CEO's afford their third vacation home?
Come on man! You got to use DUCT TAPE for that kind of leak. LMAO

I think Gorilla Tspe would have been a better choice, lol

The new part came factory modded with a zip tie 🙂
Hahahah brow, you should've posted this video with just the first repair and wait for people's reaction
You're using the wrong tape!
Everyone knows you use Racing Duct Tape!
I found cling film much better
At least use duct tape or even better gorilla tape
Excellent sense of humor 👏
NO NO COME ON, SILVER DUCT TAPE, ELECTRICAL TAPE. IVE SEEN MONUMENTAL COBBLE JOBS.
Scott tape is for a desktop mechanic. Lol
Electrical tape is better and you know it.
Btw thats some nice big brain pcv valve, im impressed by how the engineers and designers have every day a new idea about planned obsolence.
Hey why not? Matt Damon fixed his space helmet using tape in The Martian.
Engine coolant to heat the PCV valve to prevent freezing.
Congratulations Ray for 200k subs well before Xmass as I hoped it would happen few videos back 🙂

That's will be $495 please!! 😆😆😆
Did you eventually find out why ford wrapped pcv with a coolant line
I thought you were making a gag reel video out of this one.
