    I wish you showed damage more clearly to Bed…

    One wonders if those control arm bushings got so mangled how could one be sure that what they were attached to didn't? Not a body and frame guy at all but I bet that thing will leave four separate tire tracks in the snow.

    Last time I did the rear end finger test my wife got very upset.

    Try greasing the hammer in the impact if possible.

  9. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Josh Benney says:

  10. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Curt Knutson says:

  11. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Adam Dyer says:

    You are a good mechanic

  12. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Daniel Morrison says:

    You forgot the right side axle bumper. You mentioned it in the previous video, but forgot. Not a huge deal unless they load the bed to over capacity.

  13. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars ChrisinOSMS 2002 says:

    I thought in episode 1, I hope he checks the differential, good job!

  14. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Patrick says:

    What about the missing passenger side bump stop?

  15. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Ray oscroft says:

    You are doing a good job ray boy

    Genius move using the punch for a pry bar fulcrum on the LCA's. "That being said", I always use "real clicks" on suspension links, but my Jeep has a lot more suspension travel. Thanks for final duk-duks with the suspension loaded, though.

  17. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Stephen Jump says:

    Good to see u actually checked the prostate on this ram by jamming your finger in its rear and finding no fluid so adding the proper amount for this rear to not poop out it’s gears,

  18. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Dennis Rogers says:

    Damn. If it was my truck, I'd sure wonder what the innards of that diff looked like. No grease. Run dry? Fried bearings? Gnarled gear teeth from abuse where ever it was before? Customer (body shop) supplied parts so I suppose if it goes south it's on them. Ya rolls the dice and ya takes your chances I suppose.

  19. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars David Thatcher says:

    Wow scary… how many techs would not have checked the lube on that axle! 😱

  20. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars hartsyde says:

    Your park brake cable routing passenger side ??? Think that needs a rethink 🤔

  21. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Dadskrej says:

    Great videos Ray! I watch every one since I got caught up from your first bunch. I noticed the other orange bump-stop is still off. Hopefully it got installed.

    I have 45 years in the automotive parts supply business. It was not hard to figure out who was a true mechanic and who were the parts changers. You, my friend, are a true technician and if I was in your area, I would be bringing my vehicle and my family vehicles. Your attention to detail, your innovations, your knowledge, and your patience are a true breath of fresh air in automotive service industry. It has been a pleasure watching you work.

    Ur title… priceless… ah ha ha… lmmfao

  24. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars JC says:

    Once again, your insurance adjuster opted for a used differential with 30K on it to replace your differential which has 4K on it. Posi out, open diff. in? I noticed that it is easier to grab the correct metric socket for each bolt…me neither. Also, notice the use of heavy gauge steel on the chassis, thanks to US gov't. cafe standards, your new Dodge will rust out in 4 years instead of 6. Good thing you only paid $49K for this bucket of bolts.

  25. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Richard Dombrovski says:

    Great job!

  26. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Toto555 says:

    Darn! Dude! Is there NO END to your tool box? I've watched about 15 of your videos. I work on bicycles, and while I don't use power tools that much, working on vintage bikes I have a ton of specialty tools, but your collection is beyond!

  35. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Phil Jamie Ross says:

    big question why did they not remove the box on the truck first??

  36. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Joshua G says:

  39. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Martin VS says:

    I binge watched all 3 parts this afternoon. Interesting to watch and of course now that I am totally trained as a mechanic, I will proceed to do these types of repairs myself. Bwahahahahaha.
    Very useful information there Rainman Ray, but those kinds of repairs are best left to the professionals like yourself. Thank your sharing the video series. i look forward to viewing many more.

  40. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars matt heywood says:

    But there was a bump stop missing on passenger rear🤔. Otherwise I enjoy watching your videos Ray🤘

  41. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Lawrence BUSH says:

    You forgot the missing bump stop.

  42. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Ralph says:

  43. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars RK Harm24 says:

    BUMP STOP still MISSING!

  44. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jon ButzFiscina says:

    You didn't install the passenger side snubber.

  45. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars eternal wolf says:

    Hey Ray, you should get your very own "Prudence the safety goat" for the next time you do anything with suspension…guaranteed to make everything less sketchy!

  46. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Billy Smith says:

    Nice series of videos

  47. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Thomas Schleis says:

    Missed the little frame bumper.

  48. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Paul Moore says:

    It only takes ONE incident.
