    Happy happy late Father’s Day Ray

  7. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Tom Rassier says:

    I do my best work the second time.. LOL… I feel your pain. So many times in your videos, I see you put the parts side by side and verify the correct part before installing… Guess you missed that step this time. Thanks for the content!

  8. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars jacob roscoe says:

    We call them clips OH SH** clips at my shop hahaha.

  9. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Bill Bauer says:

    Now, a REAL mechanic would have left the first radiator in, then cut/sectioned the fans and shroud assembly to fit. 😉

    Please tell me you don't watch CC Chris from Wrstchester County. He's a flat earther who opens his videos "good morning, good afternoon, good evening, wherever you may be, Chris, CC here from Westchester county"
    You're opening was very similar

  21. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Ghost Shadow says:

    forgot again make sure to compare new part to old part, see that problem with many different parts sometimes they even have the same part number, revised part that they claim is the correct new replacement, yes it works in MOST applications not all.
    but the advantage is you get more practice at removing/replacing radiators, fuel injectors and other parts, think how much faster you can do the next one…

  22. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars ilike2watchdoyou says:

    Love your channel! You ever consider selling merchandise with your many catch phrases like "click" or "gravity" and the many others you have? I find myself using them when I wrench on my car. Makes it much more fun to wrench. Keep up the awesome videos.

  23. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jim Samaras says:

    Bolt hole or butt hole? I really kinda heard the same thing.. 🙂

  24. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars m35a2ww says:

    Truth! Doing things a second time takes a fraction of the original time! I once ran a truck across the dyno after an in-frame overhaul. Oil pressure was good at startup but after the run it was VERY low, like 5 PSI. Told the mechanic that did it and he went to the pile of parts he was disposing of and found the mains marked .020, he had installed std mains in an engine that had a .020 undersized crank! I parked the truck on the apron and within an hours time, he was pulling the truck back to the dyno for me to run it again! He did a full set of main bearings on a HOT engine, in an hours time! This was on a Cummins 855 that have apx 4 inch diameter main journals that the bolts torque to 300 ft lbs

  25. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jim Schaffer says:

    "Easy as Pie" definitely is a saying. I had a college professor from India years ago who mixed up the sayings. He would always say "Piece of pie" and "Easy as cake." We students were never sure if he was just confused or found American sayings silly! Anyway, great videos. Keep up the good work.

    All rads look the same! The guy that sourced the rad should have checked it so you don’t waste your time doing everything. Must be the wrong part number

  35. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars IntenseGrid says:

    Wow, that looks like a really easy rad to access. Most of the time you have to dig through a lot of plastic and move other parts out of the way to get the radiator out.

  36. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars David Sparks says:

    BEST COMEDIC MOMENT IN VIDEO…" HOSE CLICKAGE!" LOL

  37. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars David Sparks says:

    ALSO HAPPY DADDYS/FATHER'S DAY RAYMOND!!!! On those clamps and same hose replacements…For years I did samo samo…never leaked after…hose was formed as such…ANOTHER GOOD JOB BY RAY!!!! YAYYYYYY

  38. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Peter Woodman says:

    Had this happen a few times during my monkey wrench days, fitting a 6 cylinder head to a cab over in the middle of summer 44C on a Friday after lockup till 7.30pm for an important client two or three times.

  39. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Les Reeves says:

    Oh Ray it is so not like you not to compare the new part with the old, gotta be Fridayitis LOL.

  41. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Robert Grosser says:

    Ray I just want to point out that you should always be using "left hand coolant" in a left hand drive vehicle. You can run into serious problems if you put "right hand coolant" in it. A man of your experience should know that. Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺

  42. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars CASKET BLACK says:

    Thats not true Ray! The only thing faster is a Neutral Drop! " WHATS IT GOT STUNTMAN!" … jus kiddn. You the man Ray.

    What kind of flashlight are you using, i been trying to find those, not talking about the uv flashlight, the other one

  44. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars crazydavebacon1 says:

    why do you only use 1 kind of coolant? here we have like 4 or 5 different kinds.

  45. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Daryl Morgan says:

    Great video once again Ray. You are only human and don,t forget to have a great day.

  46. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Leon Mailfert says:

    Love my job so much I do it twice, sometimes three times

  47. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jeffrey Murdock says:

    Hey Ray don't beat yourself up over that. Something as simple as a tow option could change the radiator size. I've seen it happen before and yes it has happened to me. Kinda frustrating but not your fault. Just a little wasted time. Hope you had a good Father's day.

  48. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Terry Robertson says:

    Funnel, it's called a funnel and it prevents spillage.

  49. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Chris Bentley says:

    Shit happens Ray and I always love your videos. Was it because it was last thing on a Friday and you wanted to get home but I was expecting the bucket contraption that will only let the radiator fill and not over fill. And you have beaten yourself up enough about it so I'm not rubbing salt into wounds but does this car only have one size rad? Was the parts monkey at the supply depot just lazy and not checking or do variants use differing sizes? But last thing on a Friday everyone wants to go home I suppose. Great Boss who will do the gofer work for you. Hope this didn't ruin your Friday too much and the cold beer was even more tasty.

  50. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jeffrey Murdock says:

    Good night? I'm watching this at 1046 at night. Lol

  51. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars OURv says:

    Theres never enough time to do the job
    right the first time, but, there is always
    plenty of time to do it over.

  52. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars darrell wells says:

    I'm telling ya Ray get the hat that holds the camera on your head,remember how the coal miners wore there lights on the front of there heads , well I'm sure you know that they make em for go pros

  53. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Trebor McFarland says:

    I get what you mean, replacing a transmission for the second time on a 2004 Cadillac Escalade, when I took it down the first time it took something like 20 hours because every bolt on it was seized or rusty, and obviously complications as a result of that. Taking it down the second time it only took 5 hours, still putting it back together right now

  54. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars I'm Just A Dave says:

    Should have known something was wrong when your parts magically showed up so fast!

  55. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Riyame says:

    Well dang, that one time you don't check the part to make sure it is the same it bites you, and it just has to be at quitting time Friday.

  56. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars TransGal Gaming says:

    My instructor for my Work training program… called C and E clips "JESUS" clips cuz you know it goes flying "Jesus… Im never seeing that again"

  57. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Gerard Gregory says:

    Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

  58. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Kevin Hardin says:

    So is the A/C working now ?

  59. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars joseph thomas says:

    Why not flush the system out with regular water or something if the stop leak can cause problems ? Would it leave enough stuck to the walls to cause any problem ? Just curious

  60. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Bamps-2022 says:

    I never never make any mistakes like that . . . EVER!!! JK we all do

  61. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Mike Sunken says:

    Yet again putting regular antifreeze in a vehicle that takes dex cool!!

  62. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Mister Meval says:

    Go on ye sir. In my repair life when I did customer's product I sought the seventh level if not seventh generation where I would work on all of their product because they trusted me enough to recommend me to their family. So mom, grandma, great grandma and their kids and grandkids. I got to six with one family. They all had babies very young.

  63. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Kevin Hitchcock says:

    Do you not as a procedure compare parts before you put them in. Match them up.

  64. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Mike Tavener Media says:

    That new radiator is the one for the mechanical fan. That truck obviously has the electric fans. That's the differences in the measurements. I have an 01 Silverado and I want to do the electric fan conversion. I had to measure out to see if an electric fan radiator would fit. It clearly does, but I've already measured that. I'm sorry that you had to do it twice. It sucks.

  65. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jack Cleary says:

    Happy Father's Day Ray, You really suck at pouring coolant, I think you have the wobblies. I surely hope that you can pound down ice cold beers better, click.

  66. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Robert Roberts says:

    I think u r better than Mr O !!!

  67. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Justin Brown says:

    Time for some "Welding pliers" merch. Maybe with a caption 'when you just don't want to burn fingers off AND trigger the internet'

  68. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Ron Sloan says:

    Hey Ray, stuff always happens when you don't want it to. Great recovery on the wrong part and remember when we make mistakes it keeps us humble. Happy Father's Day. Cheers!

  69. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Todd Higgins says:

    We do it nice because we do it twice

  70. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars geofjones9 says:

    So many wrong parts, so little time, so much frustration! Are those spring type hose clamps really worth re-using? I always replaced them with worm drive type.

  71. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars David Wright says:

    Since Stop Leak was used in the cooling system, wouldn't it be necessary to flush the system first before adding the final coolant?

  72. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars joseph stuhr says:

    Shocking! Ray normally matches up his parts. Lesson learned

  73. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars John Combs says:

    Good job Ray!! Happy Fathers Day!!

  78. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Henry Bucki says:

    do you have a micron gauge .pull a vacuum and see if it hold microns . if it cannt you have a leak or you have a bad vacuum pump

  79. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Henry Bucki says:

    how long has it been since it was charged? the cap should have slowed the leak down to a very small loss. it was the low side also. i think you have another leak

  80. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Earl Ribaudo says:

    I have installed many, many new radiators over the years and I have always flushed the cooling system before installing the new radiator. With out not knowing how much stop leak the person put in the system, this would have been the ideal time to flush the system. Get all the not only stop leak out, but being an older vehicle, getting any of the old contaminates out. New radiator, clean cooling system. But Ray, very good video showing the diy'ers the correct way to install a new radiator and thermostat. Very easy job.

  81. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jason Luther says:

    we're all human

  82. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Gary Sparks says:

    You know, Ray. You would be sooo much faster if you quit doing it the first time, and only did it the second time..😁

  83. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Tablesaw818 says:

    I’m surprised you were able to bolt in the wrong radiator. Don’t beat yourself up Ray. Sh!t happens.

  84. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars David Fuller says:

    IF You get the r134a vavle for converting r12 gm high said they screw right in place of those high side and use a normal shadervavle

  85. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Scott says:

    That truck was probably built on a Friday afternoon that is why the non standard radiator was in it.

  86. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars LightcapMath says:

    Wish you had shown the temp after the AC repair. Friday at closing all wish to go home. You are committed mechanic RR. DVD:)

  87. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Hola! phuquehoful says:

    yes.. as "delivering value aka keep them out of our faces.. once.. & never fix it again.. too many vehicles to fix from neglect yet neglect on parts that fail.. even.. new thermostats.. tested b4 put in.. 😉 30yrs later i still do

  88. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars John Cooper says:

    So is the AC cold now? Cliffhanger!!!

  91. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars The Underground Lair of the Squankum says:

    The irony: in America, we're so rich and busy that if you get a new tire mounted, you're getting a new valve, don't want you having problems later. You'll come back and be unhappy!

    But replacing valve cores for AC service? Meh.

  92. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Buzzaard says:

    Right Meow?

  93. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Justin Sherwood says:

    Just be aware that getting bubbles on a charge port soon after taking a hose off doesn't mean it's leaking. There may be liquid refrigerant sitting on the valve that's boiling off. Also don't trust the lack of dye in an evap drain. 90 percent of the evaps I've changed haven't leaked enough to let dye/oil down the drain. Should use your gas detector. Love your work though man. It's not often you get people like yourself wanting to do the job properly.

  94. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Hola! phuquehoful says:

    how often do fresh air vents stick open?? i fixed many in my life that were manual vacuum.. few electronical.. & now new more mass produced PARTS FAIL EPICALLY.. make me want a machine shop & knock off hand made parts not shipped & forget new thinking.. strip to simplistic reliable electronics built not CHIPS or relays made to last 120 day lol gamble to 2-5yr extended bs

  95. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Curtis Hill says:

    As soon as you said the new one had a drain plug , I said wrong one. There are so many similar but different ones for GM anyways! Happy Father's Day Ray👍

  96. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars John Tyson says:

    One thing that I could suggest on radiator and a/c job would be to blow condenser out while radiator was out, to remove bugs and debris that might be in fins. Love watching your vide
