    Lucky you used the florescent dye a messy job but got there in the end well done ray

    Ugh, the clips didn't go back on the transmission lines? Reeeee…

  13. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars gudenau says:

    Florence, just like florescent lighting! It's the same exact phenomenon.

  14. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Ryan says:

    Could faintly hear what sounded like sirens for a while just past the middle of the video. Cannot confirm nor deny, but regardless, I am praying that you, your family, and your community remain safe during the awful weather 🙏 💙

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

    Ray, I wish YouTube had a way for you to block these troll imitators that want us to reply to them at another platform and they say, " I have something for you."

  16. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars parteibonza says:

    I don't get it Ray…..In the past you've shown us that the machine forces you to do a vacuum test BEFORE it allows a recharge. If the damage was hidden there before it came in to the shop, wouldn't that have alerted it that the system wasn't holding its charge? If so….why/ or even HOW did the machine allow you to charge it and let it out of the shop as is? Perhaps there's a way to defeat its process and charge it by bypassing the vacuum test? 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

  17. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars gsheac gsheac says:

    When did Joe dirt start at your shop?

  18. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Tom Blob as: James Cary McCollum says:

    It is "Glowing"? You do great service and I like the videos but, do the videos ever get you disciplined at work? Seems like it would be shunned upon as causing some down time in work production. You know how corporate garbage likes to react to this sort of thing. Just sayin

  19. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Sam Voyles says:

    Great video, i enjoyed that extras that you left in without editing this time. It's good to see some of the mundane stuff once an a while. Curious what the other guys in the shop think about your channel/recording? Any of them YouTubers as well? All the best from a fan in KC.

  20. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Amzar Nacht says:

    It makes no sense that they don't put dye in all refrigerant, so the leaks can be seen without having to go through all of the rigmarole of purging what's left and injecting dye with fresh refrigerant.

  21. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Kenny Cunningham says:

    How much did book pay and how long was your way

  22. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars THE TRUTH says:

    Oh man water in the intake filter

  23. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Terry Mitchell says:

    who ever invented the hose claps are brain dead.

  24. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars wakcedout says:

    Id be happy paying for shop supplies for fluid top offs if it meant saving time on the labor.

    Because something tells me the shortcut here saved some labor time amd fluids are cheaper than what labor hours tend to run.

  25. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Mason B says:

    Should be fun doing that job in 10 years after all those clips rust…….

  26. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Ezkeyfe 21 says:

    I dont know how in the fk you can do this stuff and not be yelling curse words all the time.

  27. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars JM D123 says:

    I've had to do the same job on one of these (a newer one, a 2016) and what I did to make it easier is I took off the bumper crash bar and the hood latch. That made it way easier because there was almost nothing in the way. The only thing that was in the way was the intake and the fan.

  28. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Green River says:

    That top radiator hose clip is just stupid. I bet some Jeep engineer got his Certificate on that one. Mind you, so many fittings and clips on vehicles today, are in the stupid class.

  29. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Ian Tyler says:

    You must have no skin left on your knuckles working in such tight spaces. Great video.

  30. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars 5kidmonty says:

    suction hose is just like the dentist!!

  31. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Michael Eels says:

    Ray, you didn't put the clips for the trans cooler lines back. You missed out on the extra fun part! Hope you all stay safe down there. Storm will be passing thru here too.

  32. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Richard Westphal says:

    Ray hunker down be safe prayers your way keep an eye on the storm

  33. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars sammy566 says:

    Nice, a hot air intake tube! 😜💩🤡

  35. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars ShimaKiyoshi says:

    You said you were putting the new condenser *back in*, when of course you were putting it in for the first time. That's my nights sleep ruined.

  36. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Tracy McDougal says:

    Great mechanic job 😂

  37. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Old vs New says:

    Had the check valve go bad on a Honda once and it blew up right in my face. Had to go the hospital after basically inhaling mustard gas not fun.

  38. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Tracy McDougal says:

  41. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Carl Pitts says:

    Ray you don't like removing body parts that's why you do it your way I myself do things my way

  42. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Sajan George says:

    maybe removing the front bumper cover may have made it easier to access the ac condenser just a thought

  43. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Taylor Fitzgerald says:

    Hey Ray! Hope you and your family stay safe.

    What an engineering hay day on that one.

  47. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Richard_Zanormous says:

    Buy GM and Ford. Support American workers. Parts a service keeps people employed. Don’t buy a Japanese car that doesn’t break frequently, nobody can make any money on that.

    Now I KNOW you have hose clamp tool… you are killin me with needle nose, Smalls!

  51. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Robert B says:

    I got so MAD at that upper hose clap. Dumb design. Few days later bracket came unclamped hose slid back burned hole in from pulley. That’s why I had to buy a new upper hose from Dodge dealer. Came complete with new bracket and unique zip tie

  52. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars N V says:

    I love those COLD AIR intakes that pull in hot underhood air through a big metal heat sink metal tube.

  56. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars James Pinckard says:

    I'm so glad I'm not a mechanic.

  57. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars LDN Wholesale says:

    Vehicle is way past its use by. It should be scrapped. Though being a Jeep it was scrap when new!!

  58. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars oldgadget1 says:

  59. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars M21 says:

    LoL, hose down the air filter.

  60. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Robert B says:

    For me it was easier to drop coolant fan out the bottom

  61. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Robert B says:

    Now you are feeling my pain replacing cooling fan

  62. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jonathan Williams says:

    So it was a silent but clicky?

  63. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars T Spev says:

    I am an Avid Jeep Owner. Have had Wranglers and CJs for years. My wife refers to anything that is not a CJ or Wrangler a Jeep Car.

  64. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Robert B says:

    I had to buy a Mopar upper hose once you break that special zip tie. Upper hose will slip back rub on alternator pulley. Very strange design on 2014-2018 grand Cherokee with 5.7

  65. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars cuz & Koz says:

    wait I didnt see you put he trans lines clips back but i love watching your show and be safe in this weather

  66. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars gbp2 says:

    Marked difference from a certain Toyota. That one SWAM!

  67. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Robert B says:

    That is a non stock intake. Factory air box looks nothing like that

  68. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Chris Bengston says:

    Jeep Fiat same thing LOL

  69. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jayakumar Nair says:

    Fluorescence is the right term. UV excites the dye which then converts the invisible UV light into visible light.

  70. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars NA says:

    I love these videos. I’m an industrial heavy equipment tech. I know a lot about different mfgs but sometimes I’m like I’m going in blind 😊

  74. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Stefan Shelenko says:

    Stay safe ray. I could not link to newest video. But felt the need to add my wishes.

  75. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Milwaukee Joe says:

    i think the word you might be looking for is "flouresence"
    a substance that glows a visible light only when put under UV light is said to be flourescent.

  76. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars George Butterfield says:

    Could they have the volume any higher on the teenage radio???

  77. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars plowkingf15 says:

    Did you putt he Jesus clips back on trans. cooler lines?

  78. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Chris Kline says:

    Stay safe Ray. Hurricane Ian should be making land fall some time in the middle of the night. I imagine you might have some kind of aftermath video of the area around your shop.

  79. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Dr. Craig D. Smith says:

    The technical term is the "Ron Jeremy effect", ropey trajectories are exposed under a black light, you are welcome.

  80. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars David Brown says:

    Ray – you and yours be safe thid week. BTW it's called florescence. 🙂

  81. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars clayton felles says:

  83. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Christopher VanZetta says:

  84. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Kelly Mercer says:

    Fluorescence. Well done as always!

  85. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Matt theDisciple says:

    Chemiluminescence, if it's a man-made chemical such as this dye.

  86. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars michael redwine says:

    Photon reactive micro particles is not as simple as saying photo luminescent.
    Stick with what you know. People get it.

  87. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jamie Fultz says:

    Should have just pulled the front bumper off

  88. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Walter Tavcar says:

    Firstly, stay safe. Second, I re-watched it 3 times to figure out that bracket you condemned at the end. I think it was there to block the belt. I still remember 70's cars, that had room for a picnic under the hood. My first cars was a Datsun B210. I lawn tractor with a body. zero effort on all parts. Buddy of mine had a gen 1 civic. Easy-peasy to work on.

  89. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars kenthatfr says:

    Fluorescence

  90. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jamie Fultz says:

  94. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Daniel Loeblein says:

    UV fluorescent dye.

  95. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Larry Keenan says:

    An assortment of bungee cords would aid in holding lines and hoses out of the way.
