Ray, I hope that you removed your hammer from the tire before moving the tow truck. I Love admin days. Have a Great weekend and an enjoyable Holiday with the Family Unit.

Hey Ray, did you ever get the hammer off the tire of the flat bed before moving it, just curious 😊. Great video that don't always have to be repairs.

I love how the first response to a car not working is usually to jiggle the gear lever

I wear my safety Crocs every time I am in my shop, especially the fuzzy ones ! As a now retired mechanic of 45 years I now buy and flip vehicles. I completely rehab them. I am OCD and meticulous in my work. I love that you "usually" are to !

[@olddrummer1942]

Just love what you call a "cold start" Hmmmph! I once had a cold start for my band's bus. It was so cold the key wouldn't even turn in the ignition switch. I had to get out our hibachi, fill it with charcoal, put it under the oil pan to warm it up so we could get to the next show. Had to use three bags of charcoal and a metal shield above the hibachi. It took four hours until it would turn over enough to start! We made the show in spite of the weather giving us a cold start to the day. Just another day up in Canada (Northern Ontario to be exact). The temperature that day was 37 below Fahrenheit. Now that's a "cold Start" P.S. Love your channel and your work. Only problem I have is I don't see you replacing the oil drain plug gasket when you do oil changes. I'm an old Journeyman Partsman and the part number for the gasket from GM is 14090908, and that's from memory as I'm 81 years old and more than 15 years out of the business. I remember part numbers but not peoples names LOL! Don Good luck in the New Year, and have a Merry Christmas.

The idea of buying a hat or shirt as an entry into the raffle is a good idea. Means you get something other than just a paper ticket.

A HAMMER mechanic is the best. Bang on Ray.

[@tnekkc]

I worked on an aircraft under seat power supply design. The aircraft generator makes 115VAC 400 Hz that is transformer rectified to 28 VDC. The in seat supply converts 28VDC to 115VAC 60Hz, so your passenger power supply can convert to 5VDC USB cell phone or 5V laptop supply.

[@TwinPeaksIndustries]

So, why don't they just run the 115V 400Hz AC directly to the outlets? Modern switching PSUs can handle that just fine from what I know

[@williamsquires3070]

Ray needs a helper robot that follows him out to the parking lot with spare parts and stuff. Kind of like… R2D2! 😀

[@Ghauster]

For a few years. He'll have the two footed kind. However, they cost even more when they pass the 'lets help Dad' phase and want more pay then food.

[@MrHughk1]

And pick up the hammer on the wheel before he drove off. Yes I know its probably click bait.

get a few 7 watt solar panels with a built in charge controller and a lighter plugs. when a car or truck is going set a couple weeks just lay the solar panel on the roof and plug in the lighter cord and it will keep the battery charged or recharge a low battery.

I like that PT Cruiser......but i am a long drive away 😂
