    Not a thumbs down but I try not to waist my valuable time watching anything Ford gives birth to…

  2. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jeff Karpinski says:

    You know there's a first aid kit there somewhere but Ray, without fail, opts for the homebrew bandage. 😂💪

  3. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Joseph Tilotta says:

    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.

    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

  5. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Brett Francis says:

    Once again leave it to ford to have garbage parts that shouldnt exist. This is another reason not to own a ford junk product.

  6. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Dewey Abbott says:

    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.

  8. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Trader Jack says:

    Glad I own an LS engine!!!

  9. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Scott Lamberson says:

    You are an unchallenged diagnosticeer.. that's kinda like a auto pirate!!! Keep up the good work!!

  10. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars RobBobsJobs says:

    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.

  11. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Vogel says:

    "Can't find the hole…just poking around until I find a hole" Did this video just became a xxx-rated video?

  12. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars trekOCLVone says:

    Look – Rainman Ray made it rain. Tedious job Ray.

  13. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Catherine Morgan says:

    We are in the dark ROFL

  14. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars potato dud3 says:

    hey ray!? where you get these diagrams from???

  15. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Catherine Morgan says:

    Your hands are taken a beating

  16. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Catherine Morgan says:

    That's what she said ROFL

  17. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Catherine Morgan says:

    Nice and shinny

  18. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Schlipperschlopper Schlipperschlopper says:

    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!!!!!!)

  19. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jim A says:

    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.

  20. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Junk Forless says:

    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.

  21. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Anthony Marc says:

    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!

  22. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars sptt 144 says:

    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 🎩

  23. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Howard Pringle says:

    Do you have a link that will take us back in time to when things were simpler?

  24. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Kevin Felty says:

    Now3

  25. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Daft Cat Brewing says:

    If the phone rings and Ray doesn't dooobeeedooooo does it even ring?

  26. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Paul Werner says:

    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.

  27. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Russell Riggan says:

    When the engineers screw you…

  28. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Rob King says:

    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 👏😁

  29. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Luke Yarasheski says:

    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

  30. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Dan Madison says:

    This job seems to suckith and blowith at the same time.
    ReeeEEeeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeEE

  31. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars John T. says:

    That looked like a typical summer storm where I'm from in Australia, we seem to have similar weather to Florida.

  32. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Balaamzass says:

    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……

  33. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars ARGL says:

    this was very impressive once again! Thank you for sharing!

  34. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Boorin Yeung says:

    what happen to your finger? take care. 😆

  35. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars themeez1000 says:

    Heyyy, I have that snap-on super shallow socket set. Thing is a life saver.

  36. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars John Holzhey says:

    One more reason I retired.

  37. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars badger jamees says:

    Those 3 valve engines are absolute garbage!

  38. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars kvdude says:

    The world needs more torque-age – keep fighting the good fight!

  39. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Khandog63 says:

    You obviously dropped the bolt on purpose for a couple of laughs

  40. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars 1957Free says:

    Thanks

  41. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars scott hultin says:

    Providing the valve was closed

  42. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars RATADATUAVELHA says:

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

    Great video Ray. Keep up the excellent content. Cheers from Adelaide. South Australia

  44. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars George Salyer says:

    I feel ya on the vacuum hose at the back of intake got paid .3 on the recall for that hose

  45. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Rodney Wise says:

    Ray, you’ve really picked up your videography work! Having little section of music while working was cool!

  46. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars wonjat5 says:

    Good diagnosis Ray, you traced it down really well.

  47. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Dale Leyten says:

    Nice Work 2.0 !

  48. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Antonio Claudio Michael says:

    Lmfao Ray at the End I think I counted the word video used 13 times 🤣🤣

  49. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Antonio Claudio Michael says:

    Good fix ray

  50. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars RV Travel Therapy says:

    That Camero is one sweet looking ride.

  51. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars CALVIN L. NIKONT says:

    That grease on the back of your left hand is going to get grease everywhere!

  52. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Antonio Claudio Michael says:

    I do have to say best alternator design I have seen working on vehicles that is for sure

  53. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Antonio Claudio Michael says:

    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

  54. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars ArcticNyte says:

    This video has multiple "that's what he said" moments

  55. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Brent Richards says:

    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.

  56. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars JESUS IS COMING REPENT says:

    Jesus Saves Repent !!!

  57. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Philip Ershler says:

    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.

  58. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jay Wolf Elite Ammunition says:

    So did I miss you cleaning the valves in the manifold?

  59. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars CircleD1 says:

    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?

  60. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Rohdê(s) on the Road says:

    Ray, you truly are a ray of sunshine. Thou art AWESOME

  61. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars richard renfroe says:

    Sooo nice to have the right tool for the job and not have to fight a bolt to go in a tight place

  62. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Nissan Slut says:

    Dormans really not bad, but they’re not good for electronics. But always count a ford owner to cheap out and regret it

  63. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Nicholai Luke says:

    I just started out as a technician and I'm able to learn so much from you, Scotty and others

  64. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Zxborg says:

    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.

  65. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars William Sanders says:

    Why do you call screws bolts? There is a huge possibility that modern auto have no bolts used for fastening.

  66. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars robert slowiak says:

    Why is the check engine light still on???

  67. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars belowzeros says:

    that job was a beast but it must have been satisfying to nail it…my Exploder was a money pit, never again

  68. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars John Henry says:

    Ford. Why?

  69. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars noimagination99 says:

    That "Door Ajar" code is the hardest to clear. How do you tell the car the door is a door and NOT a jar?

  70. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Denny J says:

    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.

  71. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars NME says:

    Always enjoy the video clicks.

  72. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Brad Klingensmith says:

    Light a candle for that flying stud that landed on top.

  73. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Freedom Canada says:

    Sorry i skipped ahead at the magnet bolt drop.

  74. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Scott Meyer says:

    Sentient hardware….

  75. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars WyzMan1ncSaid says:

    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

  76. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars JL Korb says:

    I Remember auto class. In 1072. W/0 all the evap crap

  77. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Dan Heiberg says:

    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.

  78. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars LS1LE says:

    Great job Ray!

  79. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Hola! Ben Richter says:

    Lots of videos…😂😂😂😂

  80. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars N B says:

    wheres vid of u fixing a window on ur truck

  81. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Verified* ∆™ says:

    Void.. whoops.. let's just put that back

  82. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars ClickinOrka says:

    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.

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

    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?

  84. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Eldon Howard says:

    👍

  85. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Chad :::::::. . says:

    I have a few 5.4 sitting in my driveway, drive them everyday, two 3v and one 4v, great engines!

  86. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars ChiefR Games says:

    Ray, I just got two new cases of the "cleaner" freakn ran out. I hate being out of cleaner.

  87. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Brandon StClair says:

    I have yet to see any Toyota Tundras on the channel, interesting 🤔

  88. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Tony A says:

    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.

  89. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Dave Vaught says:

    OK! what was the name of the great guitar music?

  90. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Ray Shutsa says:

    Ray don't ever change your personality it is perfect the way it is.

  91. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars wolfpreist says:

    Ray, that Pause when you dropped the air box bolt was priceless.
