    I think you forgot check oil compressor or you didn’t show it because you add none???

    nice .das des dem das auto kkkk

  3. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars C Nalley says:

    So did you explain that the repair has a different part and that instead of getting an exact match you said, meh, it'll work, then broke the bolts because you refused to remove a fan out of stubbornness. I realize, 'so, it's a heat shield, this'll work' but it is not how the engineers designed it. Fail, Ray. And you hardly ever do that. I love this channel but I just had to rant on this one.

    Just an observation lol

  5. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars richard marshall says:

    I noticed it took 5hrs from the time you got in the car and started to the time you ended the video

  6. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars James Frazier says:

    Ray, don't know how you wear those surgical gloves, if on my hands 5 min., my hands are soaking wet with sweat…

    hey @rainman ray's repairs you should get a 10mm ratcheting key chain XD

  9. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Mysteπy ∅il says:

    I'm actually impressed that the camera didn't have any static during the welding operation. That's a good unit. I think you did a great job!

  10. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars John Buxton says:

    To preserve your lower back function it's a good idea 💡 to do abdominal exercises so you don't develop a distended abdominal.

  11. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Mike Hupp says:

    Never give up on great job

  12. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars ED Harry says:

    I like The stud idea {weld on bolt to replace broken bolt} Great Idea Ray!

  13. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Abel Kraaij says:

    Shouldnt you disconnect the battery first before welding?

  14. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Hoser Man says:

    There’s sure a lot of Nissan’s in your shop.

  15. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jason Knight says:

    Just love the way you think out of the box

  16. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Chris Perry says:

    Did you NOT purge the lines before installing service lines??? Shouldn't you purge the tank to manifold line then the line to the service ports??? Just vundering….zee yah? Good job

  17. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars wolf dances says:

    And burnt eyeballs from welding without mask feels like your eyelids are sand paper for a week or so. Don't ask how I know

  18. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Me Here says:

    He musnt Arc Welding on Veee-Hikull with batterie connected

  19. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Me Here says:

    Why she didunt putt Antié-Seizé on Exhâust Bolts

    Why doesn't always using Milwalke tools ¿¿¿¿

  20. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Herminio Aponte says:

    I remember those days when I worked at a Toyota /Oldsmobile dealer in the 70s I was an A mechanic taking home $650 a week working flat rate

  21. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jamessmack says:

    2 in the pink 1 in the stink 😂😂😂

  22. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jesus R says:

    Did you change the valve stems? 😞

  23. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Ronald Anderson says:

    You didn't pre locate a bolt and nut combo? c'mon man. That said it is an Altima and deserves a decorative heat shied nut.

  24. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars ARednecksLife says:

    On this job, I thought the machine reused the old refrigerant??

  25. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars JERRY JONES says:

    would like to know why you always charge a AC on the high side I have been trained to charge it on the low side and why do you check the temperature of the center vent with the windows down just a driver window all windows should be up

  26. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars John Mehaffey says:

    You didn’t break it ray, by them being poor quality studs they were unable to be released as they should have been, why don’t manufacturers realise that putting inferior quality studs near heat will cause the studs to become distressed and weak, good job ray

  27. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Ryan Schuette says:

    "The music on my phone sounds like a dying 🐈 "LMFAO 🤣😆🤣😆🐈🗡🐈🗡

  28. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Erik Andreassen says:

    Love your choice of glove colors, do have blue days, white neutral days , pink days for feeling up tools, black days when there's a thundercloud brewing etc or are you just stuck with what they give you. Sorry catching up seen too many glove colors 🙂 Oh love the stud repair you could have used that on several of your videos I've watched (just as a temp/perm fix) depending on the cust or vehic. Sorry short (very) hand.

  29. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Pedro Caetano says:

    Mais um trabalho bem feito.

  30. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Dwayne Madsen says:

    "That was a substantial amount of negative pressure" is mech speak for "That sucked!"
    I had a Nissan, I was always breaking those plastic pins, so I spent less than $5 and bought a bag of 100. A few years later I sold the car, I still have about 75 of those pins. The fit other vehicles pretty well, so they're in my toolbox catch-all drawer.
    Always fun to ride along with you. Stay safe!

  31. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Nate Davis says:

    I thought my Civic needed an ac clutch when I got it, did some googling and found that I should replace a $6 relay switch first.. and that worked! Been through 4 summers now.

  32. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Mark Barkley says:

    I would also let people know that you disconnected the battery before you welded that stud on so that you did not burn up any electronics on the car. I learned this early on in my welding career when I was doing a quick weld on a trailer that was connected to a 2002 4Runner and smoked the radio. Yes the 4Runner was turned off.

  33. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Mike Cronin says:

    "Where's Ray……..?!" 🙂

  34. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Kent Adams says:

    138K Nissan? Just about time for the oil pump to go – save that AC compressor for the next engine. Oh wait, that's not a Maxi V6 – never mind!

  35. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Kent Wise says:

    Only watching Ray can we do air conditioning in December. How bout a plugged heater core video Ray?

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

    Love the “where’s Ray” story. Typical high strung personality guy would not get the mocking joke. Lol. Tx for the great videos !

  37. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars jack smith says:

    Since you took out the welder anyways, why not weld a nut to the broken bolt and try to extract it? The heat from the welder would act as if you were heatin the bolt w a torch n loosen the rust.

  38. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Greg Betts says:

    made in china " oem" fitment …. lol , great vid

  39. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars pipo declown says:

    Why do you replace the whole compressor? Here in Europe(if you choose the right garage) they only replace the magnet and that's a lot cheaper!

  40. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Ray Vandegrift says:

    ⁉️ In regards to the broken bolts. Do you tell the customer or just the management ⁉️

  41. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars John Reske says:

    Always fuunnnyyyyy

  42. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Mario Cachia says:

    At least you’re not greedy you only asked for a 1/4 inch 😂

  43. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Mike Hudick says:

    Welding rusty metal is like painting on sand… you finish it!

  44. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Allen P says:

    Trying to pull compressor out with dying cat music on the phone…. classic.

  45. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars skunkhome says:

    I think I would have ground those heads off and then welded to brackets.

  46. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jonathan Hanichak says:

    iCrap is where you went wrong Ray. Maybe next time you should pick another company that actually cares about their customers… maybe you'll think about getting a Sam suck it, or a old LG MAN!

  47. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Daniel Frazier says:

    Damn we had to Nissan with bad clutches on the compressor last week at the shop one-we warrantied the compressor because it was knew the other one we replace only the magnetic clutch and left the other two pieces The Idler and clutch face original
