That’s why I can’t be a mechanic as a job. I love doing my own , some friends and a few neighbors. But some people treat their vehicles so poorly that fixing them becomes harder then it should. Plus you can’t say I don’t want to do that as a full time garage. Hats off to you ray for doing some jobs that aren’t fun or very frustrating. You da man. 👍🏻

I have always done it the hard way! Thanks Ray! P.S. can you not just cut the wire in the shop that goes to that damn phone speaker? No more do Dee doo, lol! Stuff a rag in it? Maybe pressure wash it? That shit would drive me absolutely crazy! I mean why do the mechanics need to know the phone is ringing? They don't!

The threads are one of the sealing surfaces, if the fitting isn’t loose, then the threads won’t be lubricated because that seal is intact. The leak in this case was at the joint between the hose and metal line because the crimp was rusted away.

Was just visiting my DTR and SIL in SoCal. He mentioned a noise under the hood of his Honda Accord. He had thought it might be belts and sprayed belt dressing on the serpentine. (sigh) Had him start, listened and told him I thought it was the power steering with low fluid. He said it couldn't possibly be that as they check all his fluids when they change the oil at the 'quick lube' place (noise has been going on for some time). Checked fluid and it was on the low side. Talked him into getting some PSF and topping it off ... the noise stopped! Glory Hallelujah!

Hi Ray. I just found your Channel 3 days ago, I commend you for your honest repair work you do in very difficult situations , and not ripping off coustomers . I love your integrity in how you fix cars and do not cheat customers, sadly not everyone appreciates such good standards as you live by. Perhaps this will be of interest to you, I live in Ireland, we have a National car test ever year. All car must pass that test, once tested if you fail it you get 21 days to fix your car and pass the test, if the car fails the next test it can't be driven legally on the road.. IF you dont pass the test and continue to drive an police catch you on public roads. The car is impounded Police can have it crushed, and you get on the spot fines with points on your Licence for each violation... You can easily get 6 points in one police stop, when you get 12 points on your Licence in any 3 year period, you will automatically lose it for 6 months. Some of the cars you work on with bald tyres an worn out breaks are serious traffic violations here, cars like that will be taken off you by the Police on the spot.. You must display road tax an insurance an National car test discs on your windshield, at all times, if you dont have them you will get 9 points or more on your licence and fines for all 3 offences, the next 3 years will be a very stressful time to drive you have to be ultra careful not to break the law. . Get stopped speeding at any time or get caught without a seat belt on you in those 3 years, or be caught with a mobile phone in your hand, it will add on 3 more points to the 9 for the above violations , and its goodbye to you driving any vehicle or Motor bike for 6 months.. In other circumstances like , Learner drivers here must use display L plants on front and back car windows and drive accompanied at all times by a person who holds a full Licence for 2 years minium . If Police stop learner drivers, driving alone they impound the car on the spot and give points an fines an Points add to high insurance cover costs it can easily end up at 3K plus for experienced drivers if they have 6 or. more points when you renew your insurance cover. When you get Points you must tell your insurers immediately, if you do not do so and you are involved in a car accident, you will be in big trouble it can be that your insurance is invalidated that will be one mighty bad headache. Cars must be roadworthy an well maintained at all times its a legal obligation the Police enforcement is strictly observed. Even so many people ignore the rules an end up paying a heavy price long term. Keep up the good work Ray you will always have your self respect, and hopefully lots of good customers who want an honest reliable man to maintain their cars in top condition. Wish you well in your new role as your own Boss. 👍👍👍👍👍 Best regards From Ireland

@@RuralTowner I had the realization recently that a central control,as in an engine control unit, may be more efficient but has or needs more input to do its job than mechanical systems do. For example years ago a mechanical choke was a cable. Then an auto choke was controlled buy a heat sensitive coiled spring. The engine had to know what temperature it was running at to set the mixture. Now if your car is not idling properly, it might be because your water temperature sensor, of which there may be two or more, may be the reason. The ECU has to know where as a decentralized mechanical system is already addressing the perimeter and dealing with it. This sort of thing may or may not show up on the wizard on board diagnostics and leave you scratching your head. All I can say is thank goodness for people like Ray and KZbin to enrich the collective knowledge of us all.

One cheap tip is to put 3M outdoor painters tape on the end of the power steering lines to protect the O-rings and compression fittings from getting nicked while muscling into position.

Just keep your cars in the shed throughout the winter. I recently bough a 30 year old that has very minor surface rust on some suspension components and it has lived its whole life in European rust belt. lmao Meanwhile my 8 year old daily driver is quickly turning into a rust bucket.

Totally agree do the hard stuff first so you have the best shot at access also in case something goes wrong and things have to come out again and best figure that out first up also your arms only get more tired as you progress so saving some easy stuff for the tail end gives you a rest and paces the job.

I'm a car detailing nerd. My ocd would be cranked all the way up with most of the car that you guys work one. The level of "I don't give a sh*t" that ppl have with their cars is crazy. Then they all mad when they gotta fork over the money to fix it. Simple washing, an cleaning will may your car last a lot longer than you think. If you take care of your car, it'll take care of you.
