Not a thumbs down but I try not to waist my valuable time watching anything Ford gives birth to…
You know there's a first aid kit there somewhere but Ray, without fail, opts for the homebrew bandage. 😂💪
That was the most unbelievable intake from Ford. Who designed that nightmare?
The next trick will be with Ford will be is.
Just take complete engine removal and replace. Or crash them. Recycling has a purpose.
Nitro Joe.
Hey buddy I got one of them carbon fiber scraper from Oriellys and that works awsome also got a new ac delco battery operated ratchet with six inch extension on it work awsome
Once again leave it to ford to have garbage parts that shouldnt exist. This is another reason not to own a ford junk product.
Why does ford keep using plastic so much an esp the manafolds when they have been noting but problems that is why they keep going down they want to charge out the ass for the stuff an think its the best thing henry ford would roll over in his grave if he new how shitty of parts his company uses they have no pride just profit in it they need to be suied for all the work an money people have to go through we this stuff
I’ve been watching you for quite a while and tonight I just realized how calming it is to watch your hands at work.
Glad I own an LS engine!!!
You are an unchallenged diagnosticeer.. that's kinda like a auto pirate!!! Keep up the good work!!
Man to work on the job, know how to do the job, film it with editing, not an easy task. You're doing awesome man.
"Can't find the hole…just poking around until I find a hole" Did this video just became a xxx-rated video?
Look – Rainman Ray made it rain. Tedious job Ray.
We are in the dark ROFL
hey ray!? where you get these diagrams from???
Your hands are taken a beating
That's what she said ROFL
Nice and shinny
Sadly soon all combustion cars and trucks including classics will be banned from public streets in entire EU and Scandinavia 🙁
In Germany the Green Peoples Party gave order to shorten fuel supply from 2025
on by reducing all conventional fuel stations to only one state operated central gas station per city or county. Car washs will be forbidden too because they are climate killers, now they want to slow down all the gas station pumps from 20 litre per minute to 2 litre per minute…From 2027 on in the EU certain car spare parts will be banned too….as exhaust systems, turbo chargers and even some engine and gearbox oils…California and New York will do the same from 2027 on…. So no investments should be done in oil burning cars any longer….They even created a new kind of crime here, called emissions and smoke crime.!!! (BABVVEN & TEBBVEN & BEFVO laws!!!!!!)
Why couldn't that CMC be up front where you could get to it???? Another engineering disaster on these 5.4 engines. Now, they went aftermarket. What if that part fails in a week like my AM lash adjuster did? To me, this is clearly penny wise and dollar foolish.
One tip when working with locking clips is to tie on fishing line. If you drop the clip, you just pull it out of the valley. Once installed you just snip the line.
I can't imagine how much time it takes to edit these videos. I also feel like I should be getting some sort of college credit for watching them based on how much you are teaching. So educational and entertaining at the same time! I hope you are making six figures a year at least in YouTube revenues. Also, I don't know when you started adding music to the videos, but that is a great add. Really great work all the way around, man!
My mom has a 2003 Expedition and Omg I pray I don't have to replace that Dorman part someday!!! Hats off to you Mr. Ray 🎩
Do you have a link that will take us back in time to when things were simpler?
Now3
If the phone rings and Ray doesn't dooobeeedooooo does it even ring?
Whoever designed that engine to fit into that engine bay should have been shot. The clearance in most of those spaces is ridiculous. I commend you Ray for taking one for the team and chewing up your digits to get the job done.
When the engineers screw you…
Hey Ray once again love the videos, I feel your pain sometimes, just one question why don't you put dielectric grease on your O rings ? I work in the aircraft industry and we use Dow Corning DC4 and coat our O rings before installation, keep up the good work 👏😁
You need to keep licenses to make sure you're getting tools you loan out back. I had a drastically reduced lost tool rate when I implemented that rule
This job seems to suckith and blowith at the same time.
ReeeEEeeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeEE
That looked like a typical summer storm where I'm from in Australia, we seem to have similar weather to Florida.
OK …. Ray you win the Kamala Restatements Award for Persuasion (KRAP) for the excessive and mindless use of a word in a sentence or paragraph. Congratulations! And like the New Reality of Reset, you get nuthin as the reward for your resourcefulness, effort and invention. So there……
this was very impressive once again! Thank you for sharing!
what happen to your finger? take care. 😆
Heyyy, I have that snap-on super shallow socket set. Thing is a life saver.
One more reason I retired.
Those 3 valve engines are absolute garbage!
The world needs more torque-age – keep fighting the good fight!
You obviously dropped the bolt on purpose for a couple of laughs
Thanks
Providing the valve was closed
engine light ON again at the end of the video?
Great video Ray. Keep up the excellent content. Cheers from Adelaide. South Australia
I feel ya on the vacuum hose at the back of intake got paid .3 on the recall for that hose
Ray, you’ve really picked up your videography work! Having little section of music while working was cool!
Good diagnosis Ray, you traced it down really well.
Nice Work 2.0 !
Lmfao Ray at the End I think I counted the word video used 13 times 🤣🤣
Good fix ray
That Camero is one sweet looking ride.
That grease on the back of your left hand is going to get grease everywhere!
I do have to say best alternator design I have seen working on vehicles that is for sure
The giant Plenum aka intake Manifold on these Fords I's a horrible Design the 6.8l v10 design is better on the plenum aka Intake Manifold
This video has multiple "that's what he said" moments
Chuckled when he put that intake all the way in without the connections made in the back. I've been there. It's no fun.
Jesus Saves Repent !!!
I can just imagine the design engineers sitting around a table all with evil grins on their faces. Just thinking about the poor bastard that has to work on this engine. They couldn’t care any less, it ain’t gonna be their problem.
So did I miss you cleaning the valves in the manifold?
Ray and Eric O both have a storm outside their shop on the same day with both doing a part 2 fix. Coincidence or Conspiracy?
Ray, you truly are a ray of sunshine. Thou art AWESOME
Sooo nice to have the right tool for the job and not have to fight a bolt to go in a tight place
Dormans really not bad, but they’re not good for electronics. But always count a ford owner to cheap out and regret it
I just started out as a technician and I'm able to learn so much from you, Scotty and others
I hope you at least ohmed out the replacement Dorman actuator before comitting to all that time reassembling everything! All that disassembly, you have way more patience than I do.
Why do you call screws bolts? There is a huge possibility that modern auto have no bolts used for fastening.
Why is the check engine light still on???
that job was a beast but it must have been satisfying to nail it…my Exploder was a money pit, never again
Ford. Why?
That "Door Ajar" code is the hardest to clear. How do you tell the car the door is a door and NOT a jar?
Amazed at your ability to insert bolts into blind spots far away using interesting array of tools/adapters. Then all those connectors. You deserve a raise.
Always enjoy the video clicks.
Light a candle for that flying stud that landed on top.
Sorry i skipped ahead at the magnet bolt drop.
Sentient hardware….
Did you test the part before you put it back in? It would suk if it was bad and you had to tear all apart
I Remember auto class. In 1072. W/0 all the evap crap
Ray are you the Les Nessman of auto repair? Les always had a bandaid somewhere on his body in each episode of WKRP. You sir are often wearing a bandaid in your episodes. Just say’n.
Great job Ray!
Lots of videos…😂😂😂😂
wheres vid of u fixing a window on ur truck
Void.. whoops.. let's just put that back
Ray, I brought my car in a while back (to I place I frequent) and they tried to bill me 2 hours labour because of "different tasks" The car, and I, were not there for any longer than 45 minutes, tops, before I got a call stating it was ready. So they might have actually HAD it for 30minutes at most. Is billing by task, like that, typical or were they trying to screw me. No I didn't let it slide and spoke up about it and got 1hr knocked off.
Since that was a Dorman part I am surprised that you didn't test it before putting all back together – or do they tend to work in the beginning but fail after a time?
👍
I have a few 5.4 sitting in my driveway, drive them everyday, two 3v and one 4v, great engines!
Ray, I just got two new cases of the "cleaner" freakn ran out. I hate being out of cleaner.
I have yet to see any Toyota Tundras on the channel, interesting 🤔
Scary putting a Dorman part in, but it will be on the vehicle owner if it fails. May be paying twice, to have it replaced.
OK! what was the name of the great guitar music?
Ray don't ever change your personality it is perfect the way it is.
Ray, that Pause when you dropped the air box bolt was priceless.
Yep just poke around until you get it lol damn my dirty mind.
Only good cars or trucks don't have computers
I love the tape and blue shop towel bandage. I thought i was the only one that did that. lol. Just stop the bleeding and soldier on.
I come from a mechanic family back in the day I remember cleaning all the parts was my job now y'all got all these fancy tools
Summer beard in Florida that’s rocket surgery
