FINALLY !! A Clickbait title that had me laughing 😂 instead of worrying. Your sense of humor adds A Lot to watching your Expert communication of the work. Thanks.

[@Psichlo1]

Getting ever closer to the 500k subs, keep it up Ray. I still don't know how you keep up with where all the fasteners go when you have a job this big. No matter how organized you may be, it seems like a multiple day job encourages forgetfulness lol.

[@whochecksthis]

Its a skill. When we mechanics enjoy our tasks, we love and care for everything we work on. Many fasteners we remember, some it comes down to a system and placement order as we dissassemble. Also... Its on video, so rewatching the work helps us know where the right bolt goes...

[@SteveBatsford-tp1ho]

Ray, Watching you tighten up the torsion bars reminded me of when I worked in an auto salvage yard in the early 70s. When things got slow we would get a junk Chrysler going and tighten up the torsion bars as much as we could to get the best ground clearance in the front. Then we would race through the yard. Lots of fun when you are 18.

[@trebornesregrot]

Being a parent only happens once and a dad is essential for a good solid kids life!

It's all good Ray, we got this. Got rust in our eyes, tired arms, kept dropping stuff, but it is finished. We are all here to help.

Good content Ray. People need to see these kinds of videos, so they understand why repair bills are what they are.

[@ronsloan7662]

Hey Ray, that has been a great series. There was a ton of stuff wrong with that truck. It was a very daunting job and the truck seemed to fight you every step of the way. It seemed a bit more cooperative when you were putting it back together. Great job Ray. Cheers!

[@JMRSplatt]

I get unreasonably excited when that intro rolls.. like it's just an auto repair video... but you make my morning(afternoon working nights) routine fun and informative. You have helped me with confidence and information in repairing my own car.

[@christophermcreynolds6001]

For the efforts you put in on the videos , I hope your business is extremely profitable. You are a good man Ray

[@chrisahogan7593]

Great job Ray. Love these full long videos.

[@terrymax5340]

Good work . Many things to fix . You got them all fixed 100 percent .😊

[@kenm6948]

I think my favorite part of your videos is the ongoing monologue explaining in detail what you’re doing on the various jobs. Another great video!

[@stephenrasmussen8160]

These types of videos are fine with me, it's interesting to see how things get fixed and very informative. I know it's rough sometimes with young kids, worrying about them when they get sick and trying to get enough sleep at night. It gets easier when they hit 5+ yrs old so just try to get catch up on the sleep when you can for now.

[@racingboss166]

I hope so mine has like 4.5 years left

[@rexkars6740]

Hi Ray! Just to let you know, I don’t mind the loud noises, in fact, I kinda like them. I usually get into the shop pretty early. Then I put on one of your videos, turn it up a bit, then go get a cup of coffee. After a while, the shop manager wanders in. Hearing all the ruckus usually puts a smile on his face. Thanks for all the videos!

[@wowloverforlife]

Loved the flavor (rust) fall when you were tightening the cross members.

[@jefferp]

Yep. That poor thing needs a good Fluid Film soaking to slow the rust and extend its life after all that work.

[@duncancremin1708]

Oh, man, I loved this. I never had the full lift and trans-jack luxury, but I had many late nights, where lying on the floor, in a puddle of coolant, struggling with the wrong tool was preferable to crawling out to get the right one. I fully sympathise. You amaze me, finding the energy to record all this, edit it all together and post it for our entertainment. I was always pooped when I finished work, so eating and sleeping were all I was fit for. Nowadays I only do that level of vehicular work on friends and family vehicles, so those sort of nights are history, for me. But I’m still a slogger, just on boats and mostly the electrical systems, so heavy equipment is usually not required, but late nights certainly are. I’m injured at the moment, so living vicariously, through your videos. Thanks for being there .

[@bridgerolson3556]

Anyone else appreciate the quiet background since ray left that shop? Miss the doodoo doo but something relaxing about just one person working

[@garycurry4600]

Loved this series! Then again, all the series, one off’s are great!

[@jonclassical5710]

I love steering, alignment, wheel / tire road force install and balancing and suspension work....I guess I am weird! I hope this guy appreciates all the work you did to make the truck go no leaking down the road! This is has been a very enjoyable series Ray, outstanding learns!

[@wilahinely]

I thoroughly enjoyed this series as I did all the same stuff to my son's 01 Frontier last year with exception of the rear main. It's definitely a major project.

[@IVIuffycat]

Great video Ray. After doing something like this and seeing no leaks gives great job satisfaction.

[@michaelcook184]

Hope the little one gets better fast

[@Andrew-ep4kw]

One very valuable lesson I've learned from watching Ray's videos is to understand that jobs will frequently fight you all of the way. The trick is to resist the temptation to let frustration rule you because it can cloud your judgement and make you sloppy. Instead, accept the frustration, laugh at it, and move on.

[@robertward9258]

Ray we all have days like you're having . Just hang in there.nit will get better.

[@gregoryrapier3021]

All the stress that you went through with how the factory build their cars with using endless different sized bolts that is not necessary. Is the reason I love building race cars and working on them. Every thing I do I do so I can fix it fast and easy. I felt your stress because in my 74 years I have been there many many times. God bless and keep up these outstanding videos.

[@mattbrown5511]

Get some rest Ray. We have all been there buddy. Good work as always.

[@patrickchavez3848]

Not to speak for everyone else but I like these videos I especially like the longer videos. I'm not a mech but I do enjoy learning and just watching it's kinda relaxing the only thing missing is the shop smell which I love. My Uncle owned a shop called Mr. Transmission here in Santa Fe NM and I loved going there and I miss the smell, shops just have that certain smell if you know you know...

[@aliasfred]

I know the smell. I did auto body and frame repair for 46 years. I still find myself visiting a body shop (just to smell it all) getting quotes for body repairs that will never get done. I am medically unable to do my own repairs anymore. All those years wrecked my body.

Ray, great job nursing that great truck back to health.

[@leehoyt2522]

I've learned a lot watching your videos. I don't recall you ever mentioning how many hours each job takes.

[@dannylinc6247]

Labor, parts, and time guide is customary for writing an estimate. Changes that occur can adjust the actual. The shop tries to get it completed faster with tools and ingenuity. Hopefully, a profit results so they can pay their costs and labor. If profit occurs they can re-invest in improving their place of business. When labor becomes excessive the shop may lose their profit trying to meet their estimate. They don't discuss much with it except with the person who is paying his or her bill. Everybody may have an opinion but they're not doing the work or paying the bill. Mind over matter

[@tomblobasjamesc.mccollum1740]

How many hours???? Many hours!

[@beardyeighty]

All the hours.

[@Trapperx89]

You can usually guess how long it takes by listening to how many Linkin Park albums he goes through.

[@transformer889]

@@dannylinc6247 I am really curious if this truck is worth spending so many shop hours on it, if I was doing the job myself maybe but just a timing belt change is around $700 to $900.

[@philcrowell7516]

I can assure you Ray that the grumps unfortunately get more frequent with age but think about it as having seen it all before, explained it all before and answering the same questions as before. Keep up your amazing work and don't worry about being a bit tetchy from time to time. Your family loves you and your subscribers fully respect your experience and efforts.

[@mikecrane2093]

I find most of your videos informative and entertaining. Thumbs up! Being a resident of a far north state, the rust is a constant companion. The '77 Chevy Impala that I had got surprised comments from mechanics that it was still able to be driven. I think the rust held it together! Well, until the transmission failed - it wasn't worth repairing that.

Been a few months saw I saw that US federal debt counter... oh dear... Hope little one gets well soon. and don''t worry too much about being a grumpy old man, I doubt you'll be as grumpy as me... I'm killing it. Time for another bottle of wine and a cigar to try to cheer myself up... got to spanner my own bike tomorrow too... new caliper seals for the front braking system to install. fek 8C tomorrow...I'm still gonna be grumpy tomorrow. At least I don't have to do anything if I don't want to. One advantage of being retired. As for your cameraman and lighting... still much better than mine. Been biking since '79 well before we had mobile phones, so we had to fix the older bikes that broke down more often in the rain at 2 AM, and as I started making my website back in 1998 the photography and video stuff we had was expensive just for 200x500 pixel stills.... it's hard to keep up with the tech especially when youtube gives me "age restrictions" for little things like using a home made clutch splitting tool or a vintage bike show where there is no swearing, not nudity and I wasn't even smoking a ciggie let alone a spliff or cigar! These days I don't care, I'll smoke with my stogie in my mouth P.S. I saw about 3 years ago that the US finally paid all the debt off for the war... meaning your civil war, not any of the ones after that, but it is a start
