    Whats with the new eyes you going blind ?

  2. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars G P says:

    Great video one suggestion would have been to keep the tranny jack in place to take pressure of the tranny until the cross member was reinstalled.

  3. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars karldingbat says:

    Did ray lose his socket in the starter motor hole ?🤔

  4. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars cabottaxi says:

    Well done ray . Another job executed in a professional manner. Kudos to the customer for getting this fixed. A 12 year old car in the UK would have been dumped on the 2nd hand market if a problem came up like that.

    6h labor to install a crappy Dorman part??? We need to get you out of the that Southern fried hellhole!

  6. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars cameron olivas says:

    I legit flinched when the exhaust fell just a bit when lifting the trans 🤣🤣🤣

  7. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Mitch Fleming says:

    Groovy

  8. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jess Donovan says:

    I bet that dropped socket is off and out into the world in search of it's next wacky adventure.

  9. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars akaychi says:

    Ray, I hope you are always as happy and chipper off camera as you are on camera!

  10. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Stevo says:

    thankyou Ray,,a productive 2 parter 👍👍

  11. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Daddyoh says:

    If you remember you did tighten them up but then decide to untighten them because you installed the bottom long pan bolts and wanted to make sure the plate was sucked down to the pan.

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

    Great video, you make it look so easy but I know it's not.

  13. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars F H says:

    The oil bukkake continues

  14. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars baggs1955 says:

    Still wondering where that socket went. Hope it diddnt fall into the bell housing!

  15. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Willard Dunn says:

    When I replace transmission I would take long bolts with the same thread size and cut the heads off and cut a large screw drive slot in them were the heads were
    Screw them in the block or bell housing. where the mounting Bolts go then slide the tranny in in place using bolts as line pins .
    Take out one of the pins with a screw driver and puta mounting bolt in. Do this with rest of them. Should make it easier.

  16. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Mark Wagner says:

    I'm definitely a fan of glasses wearing Ray.

  24. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Ivor says:

    Ray dee doo Rainman uses his presuader to make it fit.

  25. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Brad Marshall says:

    Ray is your memory that bad. You hit those bolts with the gun then loosened them and didn’t tighten them down again.

  26. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jim Brust says:

    I have noticed that you don't seem to use anti seize on bolts or nus, like those exhaust studs.

  27. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Fire Coop says:

    Dang I totally jumped and tried to catch that exhaust!!!

  28. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Gavin Rewell says:

    i wondering if ray edits his own videos or if someone does? it is really good…and how he or they edit the videos? just wondering

    also you should do a comp of rays wall of innuendos

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

    What's with the odd voice over? It places the lotion in the basket.

  33. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Ben Smith says:

    Should a guy replace the torque converter seal at the same time?

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

    Once I had shop replace transmission with salvage one in 2011 Chevy 1500. After heard clicking sound. Tech had failed to tighten torque converter bolts. As flywheel rotated bolt heads hitting back of block😡

  35. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars GeekBoyMN says:

    Seeing "C6" on the trans case took me back to my first car in the 80s, a 1973 Ford Galaxie 500 with the C6, 3speed auto back before lockup torque converters. 15mpg on the highway was great for the time!

  36. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars TheRookOne says:

    Blue nuts suck! 😉

  37. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Gardening with a dog says:

    I had that done on my 2002. 2500 6.0 They done a good job and I under stand it’s a very hard job to do. Was very expensive. About a week after I had the main seal replace the transmission started leaking. I need my old truck and now no leaks. But was very costly. We love your videos. You do more with one left hand than most people do with both their hands. Awesome video. Iam a retired IUEC elevator technician.

  38. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Tom William says:

  40. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Mike Boring says:

    This was a great video! But then, all of your videos are great.

  41. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Tech Guy says:

    Ray, you forgot to torque the bottom two bolts first on the front cover, before torquing the rear main seal side.

  42. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Daniel Dumford says:

    I literally only watch for the brake clean to come out

    You're sure it's the rear main and not the rear cover gasket?

    My uncle Peter was working under a train fixing something and dropped a 24 inch shifter/ adjustable wrench on his nose and broke his nose , i suppose you could call that nasal gravity.

    now, i know my pleads for help probably aint gonna be heard and probably gonna fall on deaths ear, but i got a 97 nissan that aint workin for shit, its flooding over and not runing, i know i'd need some one to actually look at it (tbh i think it would make a good video if i could get it to your shop, (you wouldnt happen to be any where near talahassee by chance would you?)
    anyhoo, im just wondering how much i'd be looking at to have some one look at it cause i cant figure it out
    mind you, i'd like to belive im atleast some what compitent towards fixin engines but electronics are beyond me but i also know my limits, and im not one of them who says "but i think its…" im not no smart ass who's gonna be givin ya a pile a parts and say to install it, i mean, i might give a pile of parts and say install but if it dont need it, then it dont need it, i aint under the assumption i know all bout my truck, thats why i'd take it to a shop, cause i dont know whats wrong,

  62. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Ford says:

    can someone tell me why they are not used for anything other than rubber? example silicone. rubber has the disadvantage that it reacts to different temperatures and dries out relatively quickly when exposed to a lot of heat over time.

    and in coal the rubber becomes stiff

    You did your 1 free good deed for that person on their car even though you are on the clock you are still doing a job that was not part of what you are working on the car.

  64. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars GeneralPurpose9 says:

    GMs have one smaller hole in the flex plate to start the torque converter bolts so you don't have to put them all in and go around twice. Also an air ratchet and 15mm swivel is what I use to tighten them. Usually because everything is 4wd up here.

  65. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Papaburf says:

    The professionalism is just so inspiring, from the deft reach around to the persistence with the long rod to the call out of the tell tell drippage from previous insertions. I stand in awe Mr. Rainman!
    P.S. I really do like the way you review all the elements at the end of your repairs.
    Thanks for the content!

  71. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars MaxMcarnage says:

    Nice catch on the twisted break hose, that shows an attention to detail that's unfortunately missing in a lot of areas now days, it did remind me of a funny story that happened to me years ago, I had a customer come in one day complaining that after he put front pads on his own car they were making a loud grinding noise, at first I thought it would be something simple like the backing plate rubbing, but when I pulled the wheel off I discovered the pad was installed backwards, in all my years of working on cars that was a first for me.

    It's better today! I only reported 13 scambot comments. Yesterday, it was around 50, and I didn't even make it to the bottom of the screen.! VIEWERS: please report these bots!!!!!

  73. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Benjamin Lowrey says:

    Matco makes a 34in extension and pair that with a wobble deep well 15, and a 1/2in to 3/8 adapter and 1/2 in impact. PERFECTION. On the housing top bolts. I used a 12v Milwaukee and 3in extension and wobble socket.

    Haha! That’s what they said?

  75. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Donald Halls says:

    Someone once gave me a bent valve at 90 degrees, put shaft in mount hole lay valve head into tooth of fly wheel, flexi plate, holds engine still, but it makes it hard to put the trans back 😅🤣 if you forget to take it out, 😅🤣 all the best to you and your loved ones

  76. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Buddy Dennis says:

    It's called doing the job right the first time, and only time.

  77. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Randy Stegemann says:

    I am simply amazed at how quick and easy you make something look that would take me much, much longer. Good touch with that twisted brake hose!

  78. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Geezbnme says:

  79. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars dustcommander100 says:

    When that y-pipe started to fall, I literally jumped and put my hands in front of my face! Great catch! You got tha reflexes, bro!

  80. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Rich Lawerence says:

    Why would you use a dorman junk product for your real main seal and plate replacement???? What was wrong with getting OEM parts??? Did the customer not want to pay more for OEM??? Who made that decision??? Dorman is JUNK!!!! I used to be a mechanic and have learned that most is junk after market. Good example Moog used to be a good after market company.

    Wow. @22.02 I saw muffler gravity heading for my face and I instantly jerked my left hand up to protect my face. Unfortunately it was under the table so now I have a wound on the back of my hand. That is the first time I've been hurt watching someone repair a car. Thanks Rainman! LOL.

  84. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Kelly/Scott Lindner says:

    Could you give the model number of the Milwaukee mini impact you use? I want to get myself one. I hear people say 600ft lbs of torque from the impact, but the one I found only says 250 ft lbs of torque.

  85. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Steve Moore says:

    I'm thinking about making a video of me changing out a rear main seal on a mp7 with a Allison what do you think

  86. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Shawn Conver says:

    Why not just a new rear seal in the old cover?

  87. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Skyscraper says:

    No shims needed for the torque converter to flex plate?

  92. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Drover Moore says:

    Ray, you installed that flexplate one hole off. Notice the blind hole between two of the bolt holes, those holes should all Iine up, or not.

  93. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Robert Page says:

    Any time David Letterman would throw a pencil behind him at the fake window, you would hear glass breaking sound effects.
    How bout something like a guy yelling when you throw the cans of empty brake cleaner down?
    Or a car wreck sound??

  94. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Knight 2000 says:

    Universal joints are shite, I had to use em last week for similar work you'd have thought they would have invented a better one by now than then 90degree swivel versions

  95. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Kenneth Schilling says:

    At least you do not have a job where you get smelly slime on you and can burn your skin if it gets on your skin so it could be worse.
