    Cheer up man.. you and your fam are in good shape and it's a shame what happened down south but you have to keep on truckin'. At least you still have a place of employment and a roof over your heads. :- )

  2. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Yeah Right says:

    Be aigh't. We have the same crap every year here in NYS, the only difference is it's a blizzard of snow instead of water.
    Another difference is whilst this happens every year here and they act like it's some big "surprise"… your governor knows how to get things done.
    Our former governor, who groped women on many occasions is actually taking about running again didn't.
    Don't EVER take things like this for granted.
    Our former governor got tens of thousands of elderly people killed because "Covid".

    Don't ever take that for granted. Ever!

  3. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Anders Haglund says:

    Glad you and your loved ones are safe! Hopefully you'll be in better spirits soon!

  5. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jeremy Williams says:

    Looks like all that rain made the cars you work on shrink 🤣 Thanks for the channel

  6. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars jbauern57 says:

    No lubricant on the filter gasket?

  7. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Anthony Young says:

    yeah Isuzu makes good diesel engines.

  8. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars David Mollard says:

    Not to bombard but I found later in the video, adding two quarts of full synthetic to synthetic blend is still technically a synthetic blend.

  9. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars David Mollard says:

    I understand you want to get it done and filming will slow you down. I also understand you're entitled to privacy, I would be very interested in watching any storm cleanup work you do and post.

  10. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars No Time42 says:

    Impressive you got some T6. That disappeared off most shelves for about a year or so.

  11. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Ruben P says:

    Ridin in a Fiat. You really ought to see it!

  12. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Rick Sawyer says:

    Caught myself saying click doing an oil change over the weekend.

  13. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars kissfan003 says:

    Life is finding normal again!! My daily Ray fix!

  14. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars TEAC Fan says:

    Of course it's a great engine (blow-by test), it's got a great owner who by chance is a mechanic. Plus it supplied you with beneficial electrons during the storm.

  15. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Chris Blackmore says:

    Y’all went through hell. Keep your head up. Family is safe, homestead is safe, that’s what matters. Thank you for being there for us, and have yourself a good day 😉

  16. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Sonja Letourneau says:

    dude, it's gonna be rough for a bit, give yourself a bit of slack. seriously. take care ❤️

  17. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Eric Kear says:

    I’m glad you and your family survived the storm. It will take some time to get back into rhythm but I missed your videos hope to see more of your good work.

  18. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Daddyoh says:

    Is that a RED external trans filter by your tranny?

  19. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Obrez says:

    fix it again tony!

  20. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Caleb Goldsberry says:

    Hey Ray, as a gunsmith that deals with a fair amount of rust on metal, a carding wheel on a buffer will take it off really fast without hurting anything, 0000 steel wool does a good job too, and is cheaper, just takes longer. Glad you and your family are safe!

  21. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Watch Videos says:

    This is like the first video I’ve ever watched here were the phone is not going crazy

  22. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Doug Vates says:

    events like that put life in focus and makes you realize what's truly important to you, family, health, your fellow man and woman. work is a distraction we all need sometimes. glad to see you and yours made it intact. you were prepared, and you care. you have done more than you know for your family and others through this. thank you for being you and sharing your life with us. keep your head up,never back down, and always move forward. brighter days are always ahead. cheers!

  23. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars TankGuy3 says:

    Ray really does get splattered with oil every time he changes it in a diesel vehicle.

  24. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars James Hedrick says:

    We got the tail end of Ian here in southern Ohio. I know what it's like going through a hurricane. You were well prepared

  25. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars William Dawson says:

    It is your evil twin Ray who plat tracks on you.

  26. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Harley 2die4 says:

    Majority of the people lost all faith in government; justice system is corrupt as hell, including FBI and Congress, then the media flat out lies
    night after night manipulating the public. Sad to drive around still seeing idiots wearing dust masks actually believing it will protect them from
    an aerosol virus. The mask won't even protect you from 2nd hand cigarette smoke

  27. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Peter Fallert says:

    When doing your first pour out of a one gallon jug, pour from the opposite side. Seems non intuitive, but it works like a charm. No spill, stays nice and shiney. Glad you're safe. go easy on yourself. You've been through a lot.

  28. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Game Plays 1230 says:

    And ray remember thr lod and your family are more important then us
    We can go forever without you they cannot

  29. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars John Fennerty says:

    How did you run your house with your truck make video

  30. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Dewayne Robbins says:

    Glad to see you back! Keep up the great work!!

  31. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Scott Myers says:

    It's really hard to see the places I used to live hit so hard. Glad you made out ok.

  32. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars jeza00963 says:

    19min exactly is that a rifle just sitting on the bench?

  33. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Frank Portigiano says:

    Ray you should do a top 10 vehicles to stay away from and why. Just an Idea 💡

  34. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Cerus98 says:

    That is the fugliest interior I’ve ever seen. 🤢

  35. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Kenny Upchurch says:

    I run rotella in my race car 🏎

  36. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars K Wils says:

    I'm sort of curious what you've been paying for the Rotella T6 15w-40? I needed some and found it online at a local Walmart for $25 a gallon and 5 quart jugs of Mobil 1 15w-50 as well, with free delivery.

  37. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Ethan McDowell says:

    Oh how I've missed the "doo dee dooos".

    Glad you're back Rainman!!

  38. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Adam R says:

    It always feels weird returning from a catastrophe. Tornadoes when I was growing up, 9/11 when I was in downtown Chicago, flooding in my current town, wildfires, and so many others. Getting back to the usual grind is so odd. Rewarding, nice, mundane and meaningless.

    Know you add value to your society. Doing it makes lives better.
    Thanks Ray!

  39. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Oscar Arechiga says:

    Glad to see that you are ok after that frigging storm

  40. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Wiley says:

    I watch your videos evert night. Do you own the shop?

  41. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Kevan Smith says:

    Hurricanes are assholes. In New Orleans after Ida, I went back to work a couple of days after, because it was a hardware store that had power, and people needed our stuff. I was grateful for AC and charging, but felt like a work zombie. Then I'd go home to no power and sweltering temps. I feel ya, bro.

  42. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Steven Baker says:

    Good to see you back to work Ray! Was keeping up with your shenanigsns at home during and after the storm. Hopebyou get everything squared away again soon…and get the chickens back in thier home! We've been through a 100 yr. flood and a forest fire when we lived in Mt……takes awhile to get back to a "new" normal. …..Alll the best!! 😉

  43. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars livingdeadbtu says:

    It's good to get a break from the chaos

  44. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars livingdeadbtu says:

    I figured the next two weeks of your shop would be… "yet another car with 'slight' flood damage"… opens door, been obviously seriously flooded. "Yep, another bad ecm… its on order" pushes it next to a row of flood damaged cars waiting for parts.

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

    My big truck took a little over 10 gallons for an oil change with 2 filters

  46. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Chris says:

    Did not see you put a little oil on the oil filter gasket before installing ???

  47. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Slw Snowman40 says:

    Sometimes going back to work is the thing needed to help.

  48. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Richard Purton says:

    Good to have you back Ray, from your mates in Australia 🇦🇺

  49. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Gearless Jaden says:

    Honorary phone ring do you do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do, be safe

  50. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jeff Smith says:

    Fix it again, Tony!

  51. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Ralph Alvarado says:

    Hey Ray I work for an auto part store and my best suggestion if you are working on any diesel get the oil before you pull the plug since there is a supply shortage of that particular oil you are using , no joke you may encounter yourself in a pretty tight situation if you can’t find the proper oil it did happen to a lot of the shops around town within this past few weeks. And if there is something which bothers me is the fact the service advisors start to put pressure in our end when the problem could be addressed from the beginning by making sure the guys find the parts first before start wrenching. I hope everyone is doing alright and let’s try to get back to normal 😊.

  52. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars leonard peters says:

    After having been through a tiny bit of stuff myself, I'll let you know it gets better day by day. The good news is you have a hell of a good governor there, and Floridians are damn tough people. If that had happened where I live, the whole place would have descended into hell and it would look like the zombie apocalypse. We're all pullin for you and you neighbors.

  53. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars brnmcc01 says:

    You forgot to say "End of Fiat" at the end 🙂

  54. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars chris holmes says:

    the content was just fine man. dont be so rough on yourself. take a break if you need one that was a stressful 6 days.

  55. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars punkboyblue says:

  58. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars E ck says:

  59. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Mad Max says:

    I don't like sad ray, its like all the happiness in the world is gone 😭

  60. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Tim Short says:

    I can't imagine what you and your family been through. I appreciate you bringing us along for the ride. Thanks for the content.
    If I can offer some advice from the cheap seats. I understand life has been turned upside down and inside out. But try to remember the power of positivity! It doesn't change what has happened. But sometimes, allowing ourselves to see things in retrospect helps.
    ( Me and my family took on a tornado 3/2012)

  61. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Trollcare says:

    is that red filter for the transmission?

  62. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars TonicofSonic says:

    I think it is really nice of you to work on that fiat. I hope the customer understands that usually you only fix vehicles and not angry hamsters.

  63. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars kenthatfr says:

    So Peter made it through OK I assume?

  71. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Michael Lonsdale says:

  73. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars je19662008 says:

    What you need to do is get a special Fiat repair kit. It consists of a sledgehammer, an angle grinder, and some TNT.

  74. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars arnie W says:

    Ray, your truck is a diesel. Fresh oil will look like that in 5 minutes of running.

  79. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars jjnonken says:

    As for the light content… dude, we're just glad you're OK. Also, the fresh new oil was pretty.

    Pretty, pretty oil.

  80. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Chris Chandler says:

    I think we all are in that mode of looking for normal after Ian. Granted we didn’t get hit that hard up here in Tampa but we are all still cleaning up afterward. Luckily we only had minor roof shingle damage and a tree fell over in my back yard. Glad you and your family are all okay!!

  81. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars geo miller says:

  87. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Bismarck San Diego says:

    Did you know that when you tighten your drill chuck, click it back 1 notch and it locks it in. You'll hear it click.

  88. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Kenny Shepherd says:

    Thanks Ray!

  89. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Chad Yates says:
