    Those 3.7 engines are garbage, in fact all the jeep engines are garbage. Wouldn't waste my money on any jeep or Chrysler vehicle. Crap cars.

    As soon as you said, Jeep Patriot, I thought "Oh, no. This is not goìng to go well!"

  4. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Paul Pambid says:

    Loud noise, Ray!

  5. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Sal Orivivo says:

    ONE QUESTION.. Why didn't you check all of the plugs and or use to borpscpe before installing the new coil? Ya coulda saved the customer from wasting $$$.

  6. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Thomas Morgenstern says:

    Not a real Jeep !!!

  7. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars William Warner says:

    Ford owner did 6000 rpm dump. Probably has a broken axle too. You can tell by looking at the tires. Rubber boogers all over and that's confirmed.

  8. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars DARTHFEAR0N says:

    At least it's good to know that the coolant is well lubricated in that jeep

  9. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Les Reeves says:

    After all it is a Fiat/Cheep = junk

  10. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Tony Ellis says:

    I seen a similar situation at a dealership that I Used to work at after replacing a clutch in a 1986 jeep Comanche the transmission Grenaded not knowing what caused this being that there was nothing wrong with the clutch. when we went to back it out the tires turned about one turn. We removed the diff cover and found that the spider gears, pin and ring and pinion were all broke. Why we were able to push it in with no problem or noise is anybody guess

  11. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Chris Chandler says:

    The one thing you never want to hear from a mechanic and a doctor, “Uh Oh”!!

  12. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Victor Robinson says:

    Remove thermostat and flush out entire system Useing dawn dish soap ! Repete flush then replace coolent fluid witn water too see if the oil comes back !

  13. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars noodlezdotcom says:

    bad transmission cooler could do the same thing. pressure from transmission would be higher than cooling system. so it will keep pushing trans fluid into the cooling system when the car is running

  14. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars William Pope says:

    What a shitbox! 🤮
    The owner must hate his car!!

  15. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Tony T says:

    Jeeps are garbage 🗑

  16. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars BillFromAZ says:

    Why not drain the coolant and refill it from scratch. Then see if the sludge shows up again.

  17. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars dantes inferno purgatory says:

    After further review of the vehicle, execution of the manufacturer is highly recommended.

  18. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars fryguy42005 says:

    It looks like the f150 owner was dropping the clutch and spinning tires

  19. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Hola! jaysen Danley says:

    Way to clean for that many miles. It has been washed.

  20. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Viper K9 says:

    Another great job Ray. You have no idea how many people would love to have. You as my next door neighbor Simple one of the best. 🇺🇸💙🇺🇸🚔 Keep up the great work Ray. God bless you and your family !!! 😁👍😊

  21. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars The Grumpy Ol Redneck says:

    Looks like someone tried to drag race that ford.

  22. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars TrueCanad1an says:

    That F150 has had a hard life

  23. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars D T says:

    Why didn’t you check compression ?

  24. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Gary Gentry says:

    Love your view on standards.. keep up the great work bud..

  25. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Aaron Trent says:

    When your Liberty starts sounding like a diesel at idle, time to scrap it.

  26. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Noonehere says:

    That ford looks like a classic “hey dudes i just got a new clutch, shut up hold my beer and watch this” scenario….

  27. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Coty Luckett says:

    Ray why didn't you block test it?

  28. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Greg Betts says:

    i had a 88 7.3 idi and it had the same sludge , turnd out to be the oil cooler failed . no water in the oil cause it is higher pressure than the rad … cost lots of coin to replace the cooler an flush out everything . great vid , thanks

  29. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Thomas Middlebrooke says:

    U-Joint cup locks up yoke on the diff end. Simultaneously, the shaft twists, and thrashes the transmission just before breaking off. When the trans gets yanked by the shaft, it breaks the bell housing and yeets the starter. That's my theory on the truck.

  30. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Frank Wilson says:

    It would have been fun to dump two cans of head gasket in a can. Or refer them to Project Farm.

  31. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars silicon212 says:

    That engine was just making gravy for the meal it's about to eat.

    how about adding a new word to your vocabulary? when you say you doing your hood opening procedure. you can shorten it by saying : time to do the hop, ( short for hood opening procedure)

  36. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars peter jones says:

    with the amount of declined repairs how does the shop make any money,obviously must charge a diagnostic fee ,but still

    "I don't know what to tell them"

    Tell them it's time to buy another beater.

  38. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Anthony W. says:

    Gotta say this one kinda bugged me a little bit. Why put a new coil on there when there's freaking oil in the coolant??! Isn't oil in the coolant more of a concern than a bad coil? I hope the customer got compensated back for that coil that was unnecessary to put in.

  39. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars MagaStrong 2024 says:

    cheaper to replace the engine then buy a new car

  40. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Rick Timmons says:

    great job!

  43. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars rodkneed says:

    What was all of that liquid dripping down the dash from the center hvac vents???

  44. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars John Keller says:

    This whole video was like “hold up, I got to figure out exactly how screwed up this thing is“

  45. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Michael says:

    So an undiagnosed water pump leak slowly over heated the engine over the course of months/years? Thst possible

  46. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Gerry Carmichael says:

    Milkshake mode. It’s a steaming pile. Off to the press with you! JEEP: Junk Each and Every Part.

  47. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Stephen McReynolds says:

    got to hot broke a ring landing

  48. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars harry walker says:

    blown head gasket, learnt that when 16.. oil, head gasket,,bubbles, head gasket.. please send $300. for diag..

  49. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Maytag Mark says:

    Some of the debris in the cylinder was likely from the spark plug cavity/ It was full of similar looking junk.

  50. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars William Wallace says:

    How many of these broken car do you think get sold as is after guys like you tell the bad news. Do you note the information in some kind of database?

  51. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Muppet Gump says:

    Ngk plugs stand for Not Going to Knock 😉

  52. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars molehog adventures says:

    Monsoon season. Great job. Rest in pieces ford.

  53. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Liam says:

    Sorry if this sounds offensive or is a silly question, but do you have a tick/OCD when the phone rings? I've noticed in every video you will make a noise when the phone rings.

    Having said that, love the video, great content as always.

  54. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars stephen vale says:

    In 2002 I bought a new 2002 Chevy Malibu. In 2011 at 29,000 miles, I started getting a small amount of milkshake in the rad fluid (car was properly maintained, no accidents or incidents).
    Talked to the dealer; cost to fix $2500. Value of the car, as is, $2500.
    I went shopping and bought a 2011 Ford Focus. Never buying another GM car.

  55. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Darren Fitzpatrick says:

    it looks like something was leaking out of the vents in the dash lol

  56. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars J.T. Cooper says:

    What a POS. If you want to piss a mechanic off, just bring your car to the shop on empty.

  57. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars tom ashton says:

    and then the customer sells it to some sucker

  58. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars BillFromAZ says:

    as Ray loosened the radiator cap, I expected to hear….Do not try this at home…I am a professional.

  59. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars BillFromAZ says:

    Why can't people understand that sometimes your vehicle needs to be run by the technician? Either for a test drive to find/understand an issue, to get fluids running through the system, or just to visually check on what is running? Leave enough fuel in the vehicle people. Shops should require at least 1/4 tank of fuel in the vehicle before it is left. Unless the issue is a leaking fuel tank.

  60. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Steve Jenssen says:

    Found it

  61. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars NA says:

    I bet it is refrigerant. You didn’t say they were separate. Possibly power steering fluid on dot4 fluid. I’ll see my self out.

  62. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Lee B says:

    I wanted to say they put the name of the problem on the hood. Whoops looks like I just did. Just kidding poor Jeep. Died too young.

  63. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars L.A. Commander says:

    Ray please be careful opening a hot radiator cap. Scalding hot coolant can blow up in your face and burn you. Ask me how I already know that 🤣

  64. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Dr Diabeetus says:

    Spent more time on it than I would have! But it’s always good to have root cause analysis.

  65. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Steve Jenssen says:

    No coolers in rad bad news for owners

  66. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Honey Daddy says:

    One of the best vehicles Ford makes, the old F-Onehundredandfifty. That one seems to be in great condition.

  67. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Nikka Pubess says:

    American cars are pure JUNK!

  68. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars TVhyrus says:

    Ray please god tell me how to make that suction device because I know you retrofitted a harbor freight vacuum and I have the same one.

  69. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Steve Jenssen says:

    Oil cooler in rad. Bad. Or trans cooler bad. Pressure difference coolers in rad. Leaking in radiator but not in engine or trans . I have seen it

  70. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars dbailey981 says:

    👎👎👎Horrible shaky camera👎👎👎

  71. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Keith Libner says:

    A super clean spark plug could also be getting steam cleaned by coolant getting in from a cracked head. Ask me how I know. Sorry I wrote this comment about 2 minutes before you said cracked head.

  72. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars warren sparks says:

    Please get a camera mount for your head and STOP ! holding it in your hand.

  73. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Charlie Bennett says:

    Hi Ray. Just want to thank you for what you do. The past couple of years I have fought Cancer twice and spent a great deal of time down and out and your channel made me laugh sometimes when I really needed it. Your way of presenting the videos is brilliant. I know you get some ugly comments so I hope this one finds you well. Keep up the good work. PS..Up here in Canada those wobbly bits wouldn't even be in the equation 🙂

    High jumping the monster truck?

  81. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Phương Ma says:

    I saw you try to pour coffee with milk inside the radiator 😮😮😮
    The transmission bell housing crack , my god😮😮😮

  82. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Paramount531 says:

    This was a good video, I loved the troubleshooting sequence. I kind of figured it was done when I saw the coolant.

  83. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars tom ashton says:

    That POS needs needs new gaskets

  84. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Ducking_Fustin says:

    A 3.7 magnum overheating? Surprise, surprise. Lol

  85. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars mrkite says:

    I love the idea that this guy was driving along and then the driveshaft snapped and polevaulted the vehicle down the road.

  86. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars JesusLovesYou says:

    I love these videos so much thank you RAY

  87. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Dorky Donut says:

    I don't really do radiator job only take it to the shop may replace one but none of that but as soon as Ray open the radiator cap I knew the car is (sailor mouth)

  88. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Hugh Jass says:

    I saw the problem right away. It has "Jeep" on the steering wheel.

  89. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars spoonfudge says:

    Why in the hell did you waste all the time diagnosing this. All you had to do was check the oil to see if it was milky?

  90. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars gunsaway1 says:

    I had a 99 T&C and had a similar problem. The heater would rust and spread that all over the system.

  91. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars briantii says:

    There’s nothing patriotic about that.

  92. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Chris Perry says:

    Well putting cold water in a hot engine can crack the block. That is not helping.

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

    is it okay to just like….spray water over all the electronics like the battery in the engine compartment?

  94. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Mark T says:

    I see two main issues. Chrysler….Patriot. There you go easy puzzle. Lucky to get 100k miles. Call it a day .

  95. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars daemonhat says:

    i'm thinking they went full send on that pickup and it broke.
