    Owned an 05 Tundra until 2020, the engine, trans, TC and diffs were all tight at 208k. The quality on gen-1 Tundras is just unbelievable. A clean one will sell at a significant premium.
    From experience I'd say those shocks have been toast since 80k miles, most OEM shocks don't make it to 100k. I put Bilsteins on all around at 90k and it made a huge difference on stability.
    The lower A arms on the front definitely need new bushings at 200k but Toyota only sells the complete arms. (Removing the bushings, and installing after-market ones, requires quite a bit of brute force and fire…) However, doing these bushings and the upper/lower ball joints really improves the ride quality.
    Your craftsmanship in spotting all of this quickly is commendable 🙂

    My oil filter housing sheared in half doing the paper towel trick lol. It took forever to chisel it out. I replaced it with an aluminum one and it's far superior

  7. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Marc Shaner says:

    I have recently purchased several tools due to watching your videos, some have been rather expensive. On the less expensive side, I did buy that drain plug remover magnetic wiggly thing, never seen one before, pretty cool.
    Watching your videos is costing me $$$, but in a good way. Thanks.

  8. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars All Noyz says:

    A little leaf blower action (or compressor air) afterward is a good way to get rid of remaining standing water…just sayin'

  9. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars bobbg says:

    My 2012 scion tc has that type of filter element, there is a drain plug on the center of the plastic you remove to drain the filter with, so you don't get covered in oil taking it off, its just a 3/8" drive squar hole you put a rachette in without any sockets thats also what the small o ring in the filter kits box is for it also has to be replaced. My tc uses 0 w 20 synthetic oil. Ill only buy toyota parts. No aftermarket anything on my toyotas.
    Ecpt tires and struts. I got 233k miles out of my frt brake pads that came with the car on my celica 2001. Ive never seen any other brand car do that.

  10. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Vern Rogers says:

  19. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Neal Fenster says:

    Your “Wobblies” are neat. Have you ever tried a flex shaft drive? I do enjoy your videos, I am glad when I worked on engines you could reach the spark plugs without all the hassle. 🙂

  20. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Andrew_koala says:

    Besides a thorough engine bay cleaning requirement – the vehicle also needs
    a wheel alignment and some respectable tyres – such as GOOD YEAR – PIRELLI
    or other reputable brand.
    Only seven minutes into the video and it appears that the owner has any maintenance
    done as a last resort – rather than ongoing preventative maintenance.
    I wonder how the owner would feel if Airlines only did aircraft maintenance as a last
    resort ?
    More concerned over a tyre pressure warning light than whee alignment and a partly
    worn tyre. — Tyre pressure is important and equally so is the running gear.
    Perhaps their life is only worth seven cents.

  21. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars John R. Russell says:

    If you wash the engine before you start you can keep your hands cleaner. Just goes to show that a high mileage Lexus stays in better shape than a low mileage Chrysler but those TPM's will drive you crazy with the crazy prices to keep them up.

    Id put in 5w30. These super thin oils really exist because they improve engine efficiency.

  33. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Alouis Schäfer says:

    How the hell is that one Hankook in the rear basically new and the other tire is completely trashed? New tires go on in pairs!

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

    What did you spray on that battery?

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

    Here's the thing with filling oil – the manufacturer takes into account residiual oil so long as you use their recommended drain method (increasingly sucking it out over draining it)

    If you fill 'to your experience' and the engine dies – you have to take responsibility
    If you fill to the recommended amount (using the recommended method) – and the engine dies – not your problem at all

    Fixing cars is a blame-heavy job – you touched it, you own it – you know this Ray – you have to cover your ass sometimes…

    I now take pictures of some cars before I work on em to show marks/damage/missing bits – such is the way

  43. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars wayne cartwright says:

    hard to do in the air , but bump that car over and let it idle for 5 seconds……another quart will drain and it will evacuate the oil in the filter…….great video…..

  46. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars The Underground Lair of the Squankum says:

    Ray, why chase falling COP bolts? Why not just get a set of magnetic sockets?

    I only recently invented this tip and feel foolish for being decades late with it: when unscrewing a screw or small bolt/nut I fear might make a break for it, I put my "pencil" magnetic pickup tool right next to it as I'm undoing it, that way, when it has come loose, it goes to the magnet.

    Lang Tools make simple plastic/magnet inserts for normal sockets to make them magnetic, push 'em in, push' em out. Cheaper and take up very little tool chest space, but need more fiddly time than a pro might want to mess with.

    Good evening good sir … or aka Florida Man-Texas person here… The folks been working on my Sand and Gravel trucks "Besides what my guys destroy on a regular basis🥵" I feel through your knowledge and care of other people's vehicles is supreme in your manner- I hate to suggest as there is probably a reason why this might not work for you but …. try taking any punch, pin or nail set or mini pry bar and a tappidy tap (AVE….😇)(gotta have a drain there anyway)…. one hole in top for relief and on in bottom for drain on the filter… before even releasing the drain plug. Normally do my own services, but a quart plus oil filter can be very mess and hot lol. First time saw this , I Polacked my self in the forehead- you are a brilliant automotive technician, and don't feel I should be even suggesting this because you have rhymes and reasons for your procedures. Love the channel and your expert "mechanicship"if that's even a word💪 lol

    this is why i dislike V engines

  53. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Trucker Allister says:

    Nice video, but still those lower arm struts i would have told the customer to replace, better handling and reducing tire wear and tear, but of course the 200k mileage plays another role to the customer if he wants to keep another 5 years or not, but customer has the last say.

  54. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars jr neff says:

    the customer said no to tpms sensor what do yall sell ??? autel for the win customers cost 45.00 each thats why i use them 315 or 416 cheap mx sensor so the customer said no let the light blink???

  55. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars David Liebler says:

    Ray,,,,sooooo many comments,,, if you get to read this! I wouldn’t post this so,,,, for your trolls who “ are “ getting to you ! Whenever you have throttle plate covers off,,, &. you want to clean throttle plates on a “ plastic drivin “ wire “( not cable) plate system,, if you have your monitor already hooked up,,,go to special functions, KOEO , TPS or throttle control,,,,go WOT, or 100%, they will see the plates opened with no human hand “forced” open,, do,do plates! OR ,no monitor connected,,,get your adjustable hood “holder” put on pedal,install “ holder” rough adjust, move seat “forward” to other end of holder for same effect! do,do! HUBBA BUBBA ! Done ! Have a great day ! Really get them goin !

    a 2 foot wobbly-bit socket extension for that back left spark plug…. flashlight gravity!! streamlight lifetime warranty, snap-on dealer: "would you like to buy some extra tools today?" yes! also my flashlight broke! -warranty accepted! why? you just bought some new tools! again, a great sales technique, buying more tools will usually help you obtain warranteed tools better… why? well thats a sales secret! (check out rays other vids… you will find them if you look hard enough!) and no I am a random schmo that enjoys rays videos. lol nice work Ray! oh and uh … break clean is a neccessary evil, better than oil in the rainwater! and for those new to rays videos, he always does a secondary inspection to check to make sure all the hoses and connectors are connected before closing that bonnet up…an honest mechanic? yeah Ray is as good as it gets.

    Hint. The clips for the cover near the start of the video. The easiest way to get them out it to push the center down, then you can just lift them out and push the bottom of the clip against the panel to pop them back up one notch ready to re-insert. No need to remove the center.
