    Yes, the spark plugs are worn out, but looking at the color of them – the engine runs well.

  2. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars John Bragg says:

    Why bother showing people laughing in your videos when you say things like "paycheck collection snapon truck" LOL! LOL!! LOL!!

    Ahem… if you say so…
    normal seatbelt : minor concussion
    twisted seatbelt : broken rib maybe or clavicle?
    no seatbelt : dead

    You choose, if a car tbones you and send you rolling over, twisted or not the seatbelt will prevent you from being ejected

    Also… check out my Merchandises… that's a bit bland! "goodies"! sounds better

    How about cleaning the airflow sensor when everything is unmounted anyway? 😉

  7. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars G W says:

    This is for other DIY wanna-be mechanics like me, not Ray (he's the pro and can do what he wants), blast off the loose dirt and grit BEFORE you remove the plug terminal (including the pile of leaves between the wiper and windshield, you really don't want any of that crap getting in the combustion chamber); do not pull on the terminal wires, pull the plastic plug instead, it's best to hand tighten the plugs rather than using a power tool (very easy to cross-thread these if you're not careful).

    To answer your trivia question (which BTW, parts of movie we’re filmed in Cincinnati), your name gives it away Mr. Rainman. Nice movie trivia thrown in the video, double doodle doos for you.

    why you aint in middle management i haven't clue

  24. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars J Weller says:

    I'm curious why you don't check the sparkplug gap of the new ones. It would take little time and would appease my OCD. Do new plugs ever come with incorrect gaps from the factory?

  25. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jared Janhsen says:

    You do have to love how clean that motor has stayed over 160,000 miles. Plugs certainly last longer than they do in a turbocharged motor. That GearWrench Torque wrench is pretty cool too. Mine just do actual clicks. You're definitely living up to your channel name with the reference.

  26. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars melba house says:

    RAINMAN great movie

  27. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars darkwolfe says:

    Props for trimming the clamp ends and the corners. Always love when people play attention to those small details for when someone else has to go in there for future work 😀

    You have beautiful fingerprints

  29. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars khrwjt says:

    Let me say it a different way as an electrical engineer. Dielectric grease does all the things that grease does.(lubrication, repels water, etc.) Plus since it does not conduct electricity it assures it does not offer an unintended path for current. Grease on contacts makes them slid together but the contacts easily pushes the grease out of the way to make the electrical connection. So the grease only makes them slide easier. Grease can be a problem if the contacts normally generate lot's of heat because the grease can catch fire. The dielectric label gives you confidence you aren't going to short out your contacts.
    OTOH, Non-dielectric grease is bad around electrical contacts because it offers a path to short out the current. Grease that is sometimes used in brakes is not dielectric because it has bits of copper in it. I think the copper has something to do with reducing brake squeal. I'm not sure how. But if you get that stuff near electrical parts you will have a bad time.
    And finally if you drop dielectric grease on the floor that would be dielectric gravity. I didn't learn that in engineering school. I learned that from Rainman Ray.

    I got it Raymond

  32. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars OK Boomer says:

    I keep hearing that you're not supposed to move the butterfly with your fingers on an electronic throttle body because it will mess up the idle position and the computer will have to be reprogrammed, but I've seen you do it a few times. Is there any truth to this?

  33. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars imark7777777 says:

    Yes and if you happen to pull over to fix your seatbelt you might get stopped for not stopping and being stopped at the stop sign that you were stopped at but off the road. Argue with a cop a bit and then get a citation for not having your seatbelt on.

  34. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Brian Smythe says:

    Wow bro your my hero that Torque wrench rules rules I tells ya
    I just got a cheap one a few months back but I don't use it a whole lot
    I just hope it accurate enough for Bess

  35. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars B bustin says:

    I like the chalk mark … identifying the oil capacity. Maybe just put that oil filter number while your at it

  36. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars B bustin says:

    For 20 years on the same truck. I’ve never used dielectric lube or a torque wrench. I just wing it. I’m on my 3rd set at 275k. Is something going to break ?

    Hey Ray, what time does Wapner come on?

    Why did you not check the air filter!!..

  42. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars TankGuy3 says:

    Not gonna lie, I've legit never seen the movie Rain Man. There can be only one (Rain Man)!

  43. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars 4eyes says:

    No oil change, no air filter change?
    This truck needed some attention at 161000 miles.

  44. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Longeno55 says:

    Love the Raymond reference!

    "Excellent driver" from the movie "Rainman", said by Dustin Hoffman.

  46. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars A Dot In The Shark says:

    Huge gaps like that are also hard on the coils, and I'm surprised the engine never threw a misfire code.

    Raymond is an excellent driver Rain Man..

  49. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Andrew Barnett says:

    I also lose money at the paycheck collection van, which is a bit sad since I'm now retired. I have five toolboxes, and its important to keep the tools up to date don'tchaknow.

  50. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Crystal says:

    I just worked on a 2015 Tacoma. We did a ton of crap to it. Valve cover gasket, spark plugs, headlight connectors, (they were melted) windshield washer tank, new catalytic converter. Someone drove it into the ground with 299k miles already.

    Also, the low idle condition (500 RPM) was an intermittent failure of the TPS even though it wasn’t throwing a code. Unfortunately it’s a sealed system to the ETC, so a new part is $750 effing doll hairs to and you have to replace the entire throttle body. Fuuuuuu—

  51. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars M977A2 says:

    A little anti seize on the plugs might be better.

  52. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars EvilDaveInc says:

    Did I hear a rainman quote? Whaa??

  53. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars George Pretnick says:

    Between beeping electronic wrenches and OBDII diagnostic scanners, they need you less and less everyday.

  55. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Brennen Goude says:

    Only thing more dangerous than not wearing a seat belt is hoppin on that snap on truck

    EXCELLENT “driver” especially on Sunday…. 😉. I got it. Lol

  57. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Go Canada says:

    ALRIGHT …. RAY got a new toy, like I recommended GEARWRENCH DIGITAL torque wrench !

  58. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Rabih Moumne says:

    Hi Ray. what is this lubricate that you put on the end of the spark plugs socket cover?

  59. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Apache Paul says:

    I was surprised, after seeing that dirty throttle body, that you didn't replace the air filter.

  60. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Marshall Tille says:

    Okay, Ray is an awesome mechanic and great content, but picture this. Shut your eyes and imagine Betty White saying half of this. Way too many sexual and hilarious smiles and laughs. Prove me wrong. 🍺🍕😂

  62. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Bill Coleman says:

    I must admit I enjoy watching you videos and I do so like your style. Thanks!

  63. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Vogel says:

    This new beeping torque wrench….I can't handle that… So form now on we have safety clicks that are right, safety beepage that is wrong. But in the same video, beepage will be right when torquing. This way too inconsistent.

  64. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Roger Watts says:

    I wish there were more mechanics around like you.

  65. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Robert Hackenberg says:

    I was shouting at the tv about those leaves, you must have heard me. I reckon they got their money's worth out of the old plugs. Good job, love your work. 👍👍😁

  66. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars masteroker357 says:

    You need to get in touch with a tool manufacturer and work to come out with your own tool line starting with a wrench that yells click at the right pressure rating

    I have a '99 Chevy Silveryado with a 5.3l V8 I have not changed the spark plugs, coil packs, or fuel injectors for at least 170,000 miles. I say at least because, I bought it with 330,000 and it now has 502,000. Don't know how long before I bought it the fuel/spark system was changed.

  72. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Robert Whitehouse says:

    You have digital clicks now with your new torque wrench.

  83. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Biff Malibu says:

    Your upbeat and laid back attitude when wrenching almost makes me want to tackle the head gaskets on my xterra. Well almost, Nissan's engines are ignorant to work on. Maybe a few more Ray and SMA videos will do the trick.

    Twisted makes it narrower and concentrated the pressure on a smaller area in effect increasing pressure.

    Its better to use wire spark plug gauge than those gradient type.
