Your personality makes your videos more enjoyable

[@JohnMoeller-c9q]

You have a great attitude. One that works. Everybody watching for any length of time should get it. If they don't, that's on them. Keep up the entertaining content, including the "childish" remarks.

[@51ubetcha]

As a retired GM tech of 37 years, I completely understand your point of view.

Ray, some people would gripe about winning the lottery, you can't please everyone bud. Don't let the haters get you down, great vid as always, Merry Christmas to you and yours!

[@ken2tou]

Yeh. Ignore the trolls.

[@fredk.2001]

Hang in there man. I act quite silly myself, way better than being bitter, angry, and depressed.

[@Ngarepairercar1990]

Hello, please let me get to know you.

[@deplorablelibertarian]

Acting like a liberal in other words....bitter, angry, and depressed.

[@michaelpressman7203]

That is what makes me watch your jokes & sense of humor 😂

[@pauldehayes1898]

You know Ray, for someone who says he's getting really irritated, it doesn't fully come through to your audience thankfully. At least you're healing from the dealership toxins. The vid was great, thanks! 🙂

[@Taillighttim26]

There is nothing wrong with having a sense of humor in the job you do.. working for a living sucks having a way to make it easier to go through a work day besides its your own shop nobody is there to be on your but because you are making your day go by better. . NOT ONLY THAT VIDEOS ARE MADE TO BE ENTERTAINING AND INFORMATIVE.😊

[@TremaineLea]

That steering wheel clatter would drive me around the bend 🤣

[@MonkeyJedi99]

That vehicle's owner is extracting every last nickel of the value from it. I approve!

[@goodwaterhikes]

Joking and being silly makes the day more enjoyable and go quicker. 😎

[@GregorydavidMck]

Tinnitus. The door chime. Tinnitus, the phantom percept. And yet I found myself saying quietly to past Ray, shut the damn door. Cheers all.

[@John-yf4ie]

I worked for a GM dealership for 12 years. Upper management pushes the service manager and writers to get every last cent out of a customer. Now all the blame is pushed onto the mechanic to hurry and get the job done!!! A new mechanic becomes another angry person in the shop. When I finally left as I was hired by a local school as a automotive instructor all bitterness went away. I told my students enjoy the desire and enjoyment to be able to diagnose and repair a customers vehicle. Many customers will thank you in return. Yanni

[@friendlyneighborhoodrockstar]

I enjoy your style/sense of humor. If thats being "childish" then keep it up! One other thing, Ray seems to do a lot when we are not looking. We need to pay attention more. 😆

[@JohnBradley-ut2qi]

Good for you. I feel for you. Spent almost 30 years as a mechanic then spent 26 years teaching. I know what you are talking about. Good luck on that Tahoe.

Thanks for all your awesome work Ray!

[@RainmanRaysRepairs]

Thanks for being here so share it!

[@jdesaavedra0432]

This is definitely a mechanic's special.

[@JonathanDeaux]

Dude, you had me squinting and fidgeting. I've worked EMS for 4 decades. Had flashback to the 90's when a mechanic at the Ford dealership had an airbag flipped backward while working on it and it deployed. He got a LOT of dental work done, and he was lucky.

[@shannon-852]

Lol I was thinking the same thing, cringing a little as I've always been instructed to disconnect the battery then wait 10mins or so before pulling an airbag. But then I remember that were watching Rainman Ray 😂

[@omorin34]

Really love these type of diagnostic videos. I learned something watching these.

[@Gizmetti]

I loved the guy in the comments section of the video before this having an absolute meltdown because you put a gas cap on the trunk of the car. He was acting like you destroyed his own car and stole Christmas from his family. lmao

[@Nolongerangry]

Enjoy your videos. Your honesty is always appreciated

[@jrindel1]

Ray, I empathize with you. I didn't work on cars but I did work on forklifts and I had angry days as well. Most of the time it wasn't with the equipment it was with the operators but there were days that no matter what I tried he parts get wouldn't fit. The best way of resolving that issue was to go out to my vehicle at break and crank up the music till I couldn't hear 😂😂😂

[@572Btriode]

You act the way you want, how you cope with stuff is up to you. I approve.

[@shayferguson4722]

[@berthongo8531]

Soul crushing. Good way to put it. I'd always be on the edge of being sent to HR but I was good at my job and the customers were always calling the office telling them what a good job I did. And, everyone else always appreciated when I would say out loud what they were thinking. In all fairness, I always warned a new boss that I would say what everyone else was thinking so I feel that I gave them fair warning and therefore was exempt from incrimination. I wouldn't be disrespectful, I just liked to shine light on the ridiculous things and hypocrisy. Oh how I loved pointing out hypocrisy. I enjoy your playfulness! What happened to forcing the Wife Unit to appear on every video? Thanks Ray and have a great day!

[@patrickperkins5817]

Your silliness is absolutely a balm on my day and your struggles give me the courage to wrench on my own stuff

[@golf25radioman]

That Suburban has had a pretty rough life; or at least it is showing its age. I hope the owner has a solution to the incorrect steering wheel issue so you can finish that part; also the ECM trouble. Hope to see a part two video to finish up. I didn't know you were getting a new DirtyMax engine. That'll be quite exciting to see in action. Looking forward to seeing that! 😊

I watch your channel partly for your attitude. Don't let the phycos and people on the spectrum get you dont because they don't understand humour. Ivan from PHAD is really funny but it goes over a lot if people's heads.

Hey Ray, your show is awesome. Love the channel. I think you are witty outlook on things is awesome. I wouldn’t even acknowledge those trolls and give them the satisfaction that they probably feel when you say something about that cause that’s the basic only thing they have in their life

[@billdunlop8683]

I can understand how a work environment can turn one bitter Ray, I worked with a technician who had a great response to the head of our HR dept years ago when during a meeting she said "he had a bad attitude" which he responded immediately " It wasn't like that before I started working here".

[@farmermiyagi1338]

I had a service manager accuse me of a bad attitude during a shop meeting one day, and I informed him that I came in with a fresh attitude every day then he would walk in the shop cursing, stomping, kicking boxes across the shop and such, and fuk up my good attitude. He actually thanked me after the meeting broke up for pointing out how his attitude effected the entire shop. I was managing a shop when he was still changing tires. XD

Just Keep The Great Video's Coming And Always Be Safe Out There.

Life is too short, you need a good sense of humor for this wild ride we call life. Happy holidays to you all.

[@mq9167]

Childish? I'd say more like making light of situations that make most of us pissed off is Ray's talent. It this point Ray is probably slightly put off because he didn't listen to his own warnings about customer supplied parts. Took it all apart only to find the parts wont work. Rule #1 Ray is always right. Rule#2 if Ray is wrong refer to rule#1. Love you Ray. 🎉❤😂

[@sgtzsquad]

Merry Christmas to you and your family Ray. I appreciate your videos and I wish you much success in 2025!

[@coreyfairbanks7374]

You in shorts, we are getting freezing rain tonight.......awsome.

[@danschell6781]

It would be wise to disconnect the battery before working on airbag also if try pulling the wheel by hand, you should put the nut on by a few threads so that it won't hit you in the face. Stay safe and have a great Christmas

[@marymulrooney1334]

Hilarious. As you were going for the test drive, I was thinking, you should have left the tape on the steering column.

Hi Ray, wishing you and your family a happy Christmas and thanks for all the useful videos this year, if you're stuck for ideas on what to video then one on upgrading headlights would be very interesting.

[@victorbaird8220]

I am SO excited for this video 😊

[@simonbradford6774]

These diagnostic videos are very interesting. It shows how detailed knowledge of a proper scanner and how relating that to a good circuit diagram and then the knowledge necessary to deduce the root cause is necessary to take out the guess work in diagnosis. It’s also real world in that you’re crawling under. What I don’t understand is looking at the vehicle (no offence to the owner) and it’s mileage I’d say the cost of an ecu together with some of the other faults would render the car uneconomical to repair and so would’ve thought you’d check with the owner before continuing with the steering wheel. You could’ve had a nice cup of tea and a lie down in a darkened room instead. 😊

[@leonardpeters3266]

I am taking "Be a happy technician" lessons from you. I am really good about being happy when I do electronics tech. But the last time I removed the entire Dash from my Crown Vic, just to get to a still hard to reach blend door actuator, I had to have my wife cover her ears to avoid the profanity.

New cap/rotor, fresh set of plugs, and it ran like it thought it was new again. (stopped playback to comment before I see what this one's problem are 🙃)

You keep doing you Ray. One needs a sense of humour when trouble shooting machinery and dealing with clients. It's a good coping strategy (stop throwing cans though).

[@gonzo_the_great1675]

The power and grounds looks to be only for the heaters. The other two lines are the O2 detections. Those are not referenced to the heater (or to ground) at all. And I believe the heaters are only there to get the sensing element up to temp a bit quicker than if it relied just on the exhaust heat to get it hot. If you were to connect the DMM in mV mode across the sensor wires, you should see some voltage across them, when the engine is leaned out. If the sensor is working.

[@randybeard6040]

[@howardrubin4916]

When you've had enough, before you hit the dash with your code scanner, learn the word that will bring relief - SMEG! "In 1989 the word “smeg” was used in the sci-fi sit com Red Dwarf as a catch all expletive that allowed the show to be broadcast before the 9PM watershed."

[@hiscifi2986]

On the diagram for the O2 sensor, the squiggly line is the heater, and the part with the arrow is the actual sensor element... On any diagram, something with an arrow, means it is a variable component.

[@darrenwood-l5t]

Hi Ray, Merry Christmas to you and yours. Sorry to be a negative Nelly, but your diag workflow is flawed! The power and ground that you checked @ the O2 sensor connector were the heater wires and NOT the sensor wires! While you checked the continuity of the sensor wires TO the ECM you did not check for voltage FROM the O2 sensor ELEMENTS with the engine running. Now I'm not saying the ECM is NOT U/S, just that you did not complete the diag. Just because it's unlikely that both sensors would be U/S, NEVER assume!! Long time viewer, since way before you left the other shop! DOO, DOO, DOO (oh I miss that) Still doing a great job.
