Just wondering why you didn't take at least some highly compressed air to the blower cage. In fact, I have never seen you do that to any internal cabin air parts that you are putting back into service. Why. Just curious
I am thinking about getting a Ford van like this, 4-6 years old with a little less than 100K miles. In a scale of 1-10, how much more difficult to work on is this van vs. a Ford F150 or 250 truck?
I am talking about moderately involved repairs/maintenance like changing air-filter, spark plugs, engine coolant, ignition coils and cables, transmission oils and filter, serpentine belt, alternators etc, not engine or transmission rebuilt.
I’m a 20yr Air Force Aircraft Maintenance Veteran and we were taught to always take off all rings, watches, necklaces etc before performing ANY maintenance on ANYTHING for personal safety.
What a hack u r, at least clean the cage before u put it back on, think of the customer, I know it’s hidden, with all the short cuts u take to earn ur commission, I wouldn’t go near ur shop
Ray, I can just about guarantee you cut out the 2 to 3 minutes of huntin' & peckin' to get that bottom bolt started for the drier. After doing at least a 100 of these on U-Haul trucks, you'd think I'd have it figured out by now but alas, 1 of the hardest damn bolts to get started I've encountered!
Did you even tell the customer they could just hit it with a hammer before unnecessary replacing parts?!? You mechanics are always going for the upsell. They always try to sell me something. The only thing I needed was a muffler because the old one fell off.
I love the hammer action. It reminds me of the old days when I used to hit the solenoids to get it started. Mind you that was 40 years ago. Great video yet again Ray.
Ray. Go to Lowe's and go to the plumbing department and get inside pipe wire cleaners. They come in 3 different sizes and they work great for cleaning battery cable connectors.
Love your channel and your witty humor. Would you consider removing your wedding ring while working? I have seen some gruesome injuries in my 20 year career in the Air Force. Cheers from Guam USA👍
If you were in the great white north, instead of Fla, that blower motor housing would have been packed with mouse poop and a few dead mice. Of course, we don't get the occasional snake in the vehicle as you must do, most of our snakes wear suits up here.
i would have jumped power from the battery and went to b dubs with the 200 you spent on that power supply. is dielectric grease not a thing in the south?
Just a thought, I always use antiseize on battery tray and battery hold down bolts. They are usually rusty and eat up being bathed in battery acid and fumes. Makes my life easier the next time. Since it's very common to have to remove the tray and battery to work on most cars any more to gain more access.
What's truly amazing is that Ray ALWAYS grabs the correct size socket. Every damned time. I on the other hand always bring either 3 or 5 different size sockets, or the whole rail of sockets. I wonder why things made for the imperial market are made in metric sizes. The U.S. doesn't want metric anything. I guess the designers either are too stupid to really understand that or too lazy to change the existing incorrect design. I guess I'm just tired of having to buy and use a second set of tools, although vise grips do a lot of my work in recent years. I actually drill and retap metric holes when I've needed the vise grips to remove bolts/screws. I guess it's my own private battle with stupid engineers/designers, don Quixote style. Metric fan boys don't need to throw any insults my way, I'm too old to give a fish about your need to push your preference on others.
The reason why they Arc and burn up it's because some genius mechanic doesn't know what Dielectric grease is for. Moisture gets in there they short out and melt out.
Its amazing how thing differ across the pond. When i saw the E250 on the title i thought you were doing some work on a Mercedes not a ford.
Whenever possible use OEM. I'm sure the owner will appreciate not having to come back after the junky aftermarket one failed.
The ballast resistor assembly could not be more basic
All fords blow.

Thanks
I was blown away that was FANtastic
Hey Ray… Skip all those steps and just get a DODGE or CHEVY!!! LOL 🙂

Ford doesn't blow, should be, FORDS SUCK.
Why don’t you have a bolt/nut magnet? Because you don’t you should have to work on a Lamborghini for us.

REEE! Leaving that 'red' paint on the negative clamp bothers me so much! Haha
A power probe is great for a job like this. You can get one for about 80 dollars on amazon.
Should have cleaned the fan blades before you installed it
The freestyle playing in the background!
Nice job Ray. That is a crammed engine compartment. You did the job like a professional and not a rookie.👍👍 Keep up the great work.
Ford doesn't blow… it sucks

Ugh. You had the perfect opportunity to wash that squirrel cage blower…and didn't.
Man you do good work. Good work ethic and I like that you care even if time is hurries you. Keep on keeping on.

Only wish I could find a good efficient mechanic like you in my area ! Keep up the good work !

I was hoping you would rebuild that electric motor…
Ray, I'm surprised you haven't ripped that Piezo Beeper out of that Jump Box Yet.
nice to see you fitted positive wire to battery first correct procedure to avoid arcing
10/10 video title

I would end up busting that speaker… why would you want your phones ringing into the shop.
Oh nooooo you didn't clean the squirrel cage before reinstalling. 🙄🥺👀
Good informative video!! Nice job Ray!!!
wonder why you didn't make the blower fan nice and shiny like everything else you do, lol.
🤙🏽🤙🏽

I wanna know what radio station is on in the background, some songs I haven’t heard since the 80’s growing up in NYC as a teenager
Some ocilohammer
That's funny… battery loose like but the battery hold down is there… ha

Why does the new mptor, out of a Motorcraft box, have the same off-brand label label as the defective motor?
Damn I got a knot on my head
