Senior Management once asked the question during a quarterly review...."Where do you see yourself in 5 years? "With every possible option open to me ..,I replied...., "I Hope to see myself in a mirror" It was only after he said to GTF out of his office..., it dawned on me..., that wasn't the answer he was looking for..... Sometimes the story is more focused on the journey rather than the destination. Good luck young Troy in all your endeavors

Less is often said to be more, but is there ever to much of Ray ? nah never ever will there be to much of a great mech who does his work so well, and teaches us his tricks and also shows us his short coomings ( mistakes), keep those cameras rolling and take no heed of those that say less is best, for they know not what they speak of

[@Torgonius]

When I stopped by to pick up my car a few weeks ago, I pulled in and Troy was working on cleaning the wheels up on my car. I said "Hi, Troy!" like it was nothing, but then it hit me about how weird that must be to have total ransdos just saying 'hi' like you're old friends. So I asked him if it was, in fact, that weird. He was super cool about it. Best of luck to you, Troy. You certainly seem like a cool dude.

[@edwardzellner6869]

All the best to Troy. Life's path is never straight. I'm sure he benefitted a lot from all that he learned working with Ray.

[@peted5217]

The Diplomatic handling of former employee work agenda righteously well done. Many have found vehicle repair a stepping stone to less arduous, more rewarding endeavors.

[@markmurdock280]

Ray if you read this message i just want to say it seems like there is way more people that want the longer videos so yeah i would just stick with the longer videos because thats what a majority of us want to see.Thanks man

[@denniss5512]

Hey Ray, glad you took a minute to explain the employee issues. Good Luck to Troy on his next adventures. A common event with young people like we all were once. Nice for you guys to part as friends as the "networking" thing is important in life.

[@Columbus1152]

It sounds like it was an amicable separation and nobody burned any bridges. That shows maturity for a young man on Troy's part, and a compassionate employer on Ray's part.

[@garysmith1157]

Ray, I commend you for filling us in on Troy's departure. I had sensed his irregular absences and wondered what was afoot. Your comments about him showed respect for him, and you've shown yourself to be a great boss. And this for Troy: I think you learned a lot in your time with Ray, and you will have to search hard to find another boss down the road who will give you as much independence, mentoring, levity and respect as Ray has done. Good luck in your future endeavors.

[@mjac8373]

You said it ALL right there, about Ray as a boss. I've had over fifty in my life, and he's at the top of the pyramid with less than five others. Retired carpenter age 73

Troy, whatever path you choose you have already shown us enough of your personality and work ethic to know that you will be successful in your pursuit of happiness.

[@deanowens5539]

Love the longer video Ray. Screw the folks that give you grief. Lots of us love the longer ones. Hey Troy, wish you luck buddy. That man you were working for will be that person you’ll never forget and you’ll also measure everyone up against. Good bosses are a rarity!

It was good to hear that Troy has priorities. It was good to see his progress. Troy, some advice you didn’t ask for. Keep learning. Ray is a good teacher. You can learn things wherever you go.

[@scottminer7702]

When I first discovered your channel. I thought "This guy must be making videos for some automotive school class since you were at a dealership." Despite being a lot older than you. I learned a lot and when Troy came around, I thought that it was a great learning opportunity for the young man. Find another and pass your knowledge along. Cheers to you and Lauren. Best wishes to you, Troy. We were all young once. Enjoy it.

Hey Troy; I worked for around 43 years as a mechanic . It was full of twists and turns. Some planned and some unexpected . All the training and experience served me well down the line . No such thing as wasted knowledge . Life is a long and winding road try to enjoy the trip . All the best to ya son .

Sorry to see Troy go. It was great to see him develop from a shy young man and beginning to open up and show his personality. Wish him all the best and really hope he finds what he needs and deserves. ALL THE BEST TO YOU TROY!

I’m proud to be in the percentage of females that enjoy your content from my own channel/account, you are a mechanical wizard and I’ve learnt a lot from you from your videos, as I am an at home grease monkey, have been since I was a wee little girl as my dad used to race drag boats and worked on cars and motorbikes. Unfortunately at 80 years young he now suffers Dementia with Lewy Bodies. Your videos and Eric O from south main, Sarah n Tuned & U Wrench allow me to keep learning whilst my dad cannot anymore, so thank you for your part in my learning and entertainment ✌️👍🌺

Hi Ray, I am a 62 year old diesel fuel injection service technician. For the last few years I have enjoyed watching your videos and have found inspiration from them to change career paths and joined a general mechanic shop. I have found new challenges in this, which gets me excited to go to work each day. You make it look easy and your light-hearted approach to doing your work is a role model for how I want to approach my new position. Keep on doing what you do, cuz it's awesome.

[@davidwayman3121]

I'm glad u took the time to explain where Troy has been. And I'm happy for Troy. I hope he has good luck in everything he is doing, and I hope whatever he has decided to do, he has good luck in it. Good luck in everything you do, Troy. And always remember that there will be a place at Ray's if you ever decide to come back.

[@imfloridano5448]

You gave Troy an opportunity with a learning experience to pursure his own endeavors. Mr Gordon who ran a mobile automotive repair and was a retired MSGT for the US Army took me under his wing and taught me alot in the 2 months I worked with him. I didn't get paid much but the experience was golden and set me on a path of enlisting in the US Army and becoming a Bradley mechanic and then re-uped to become a Hawk weapon systems repair tech.

[@micahrogers4928]

Troy was ment to be where he was in his life and learned what he needed to learn at the time. He was there when you needed him the most as well as you being there for him. You never know he might make a full circle one of these days and shock you. Best of luck to all on their journey in life.

good luck, troy! we're all glad we got to know ya. just keep on keeping on, you'll find what you're looking for.

[@jimdavis6833]

I usually hesitate to give advice to an experienced auto mechanic who has much more experince than I, but I'm old, so if it will help, here it is. Back in the day when I maintained my own vehicles, and had no power tools to work with, I used only a vice to R&R u-joints. I would cut a piece of pipe large enough to go over one cup, and use a 3/4" socket to push from the other side. I would put all that between the vice jaws, and just squeeze them together using the vice itself, no special tools needed. The same operation works for both removal and install, except the pipe isn't needed on the install. I've probably done dozen that way over the years and it worked fine every time. As I said I'm not an auto mechanic, but I am a retired USAF jet fighter mechanic.

[@simonarius]

Whatever the choice (s) Troy has made for his future life, I'd like to wish him all the luck and success, you deserve it, buddy. I'm happy you do share with us how sometimes work gets chaotic, but you always find the right way to explain everything in detail, even the most difficult parts. And the longer videos are a blessing. I like to spend my evenings watching the channel. Keep it up, Ray. Kind regards.

Awesome job with this rebuild series, Ray! Please let Troy know we will be praying for the right doors to be opened and that he shakes hands with the right people. I have rather enjoyed hearing his antics and how they mesh well with you, Ray and it's my hope that his experience learned with you will be utilized and further his development and devotion to the industry should he choose to do so. Thank you for sharing, I really appreciate y'all 🙏😁😃

Troy is a legend and will be missed

[@aliceharper4087]

Little late here, don't often comment, but Ray's positivity wears off on me and is a large part of why I love coming back to this channel to watch! I wish Troy all the best and am touched by how much respect was shown both ways. Had a similar moment in my life, unsure of how similar and I respect Troy's privacy enough to not need to know, but sometimes you gotta set off on your own and do what you need to do. It's not always easy, and I hope Troy finds what he's looking for and has all the success he's due with whatever he decides is best for him! I know he has it in him to make his life what he wants it to be so as sad as I am to see him go, I have nothing but respect and hope for him and his bright future.

[@Eskove]

Troy will be missed. I wish him the best of luck, and hope he might come visit the shop and channel. Lets hope he is happy wherever he is :)

[@johnrewijk8371]

Thank you Ray , for taking us on a little roadtrip. And I do like the long video's. Hopefully Troy finds his way , like we all see how you found yours. You are a great mentor , we can learn a lot. Just by watching you getting it done. One way or..any other way. Greetz John.

[@MonkeyJedi99]

It's a show of maturity to be the one to tell the boss that life needs you to move on instead of the boss having to let you go because life is interfering with showing up.

[@uninhabitedspace]

I'm glad for the long form videos. Ignore the haters. I like the fact that Ray takes the time to not only explain what he's doing, but also why he's doing things a certain way. I also like the fact that he leaves in the stuff that doesn't work, and explains a change in tactics. It's both informative and entertaining. It's also nice to see someone run into the same challenges and mistakes that I have encountered myself. It's just too bad you don't earn a commission for amazon links to DeWalt tools.

[@merlingriffin3861]

I do like that Ray shows everything, the good, the bad, and the ugly. I am not a mechanic, he shows me the things I can DIY and things best left to you pros. As for Troy, I worked for the same employer for over forty years. I am the exception and not the rule. I always told new people that hey it's not for everybody. If you get here and you find a better thing, more power to you. Several actually left us and went to medical school, I'm proud of them. One of them was my doctor for awhile then he moved on from this 8 to 5 clinic to work in an ER, I don't get that, but ok. Another left us for the Air Force, maybe flying military aircraft is more exciting than what we do, I get it, and a lot of places pay better. I say all of this to say, you are young, go find your place. My granddaughter was born with a serious heart defect. We forgot to tell her what she couldn't do. I said baby girl spread your wings and fly. Last year she played on a boys' football team. Her doctors approved it. So Troy spread your wings and fly.

[@BillFromAZ]

Troy, I hope you see all of these comments.....may all things work out for you and I wish you the best of luck whereever your endevors take you.

[@gracestewart370]

It’s nice to see real men work hard at something they love.

[@danman32]

What's cool is that Troy initiated the conversation rather than you Ray having to let him go. That's integrity. Granted it sounds like he was already taking excessive time of, but again he initiated the need to take appropriate measures. Best of luck Troy, we'll miss you and hope to see you again.

[@jamesweishaupt5570]

Just a thought, but it's always nice to have at least one heavy duty bench to put the vise on. That one seems to be bouncing around a lot.

[@jameslainio3752]

All shops I have worked at that have the metal work bench had same spring action. Took a few apart fitted with wood underneath to stiffen them up to stop bouncing.

[@patrickpattberg8551]

Personally, I would have tried to use the large (hf) press instead of the ball joint press for the U-joints ; and used ( or possibly borrowed from next door) a frame straightening ram connected to the tool for the final press into the truck.

[@terrenceolivido741]

something Ray has learned - and it is very very important - is to monitor and know your state. he talks about indications of " fatigue . " this is very important - just like recognizing our other states - " i feel good " " i am angry " etc etc.. these are " moods " that come and go and our decisions under their influence - and our world view - change drastically.

34:00 Sending positive vibrations Troy's way. It can be scary going out on your own, especially in today's world but I'm confident he'll find his way, just as Ray did and many of us over the years, trying to climb out from somebody else's shadow.

[@Ham68229]

I was taught, with U-joints, you take the new caps, fill them with grease, install making sure that the new grease fitting is not installed. As you install each cap, the entire U-joint gets "greased" and all you have to do is install the grease fitting. Saves a lot of headaches and no lost needles. Sometimes, one must spread their own wings and do what they must do for themselves, best of luck to you Troy. Great video, cheers :)

[@toddbrown3606]

Good luck to Troy! I'm sure if things don't work out for him, you will be more than happy to have him back if you can.

[@zkuz8127]

Good Luck Troy. Watching this series make me glad I do my own maintenance. As every oil change I grease the fittings. It seems many places don't when get the work done elsewhere. Not sure what this would cost but I am sure it is cheaper to grease them.

[@jeffmoran5973]

Wish you the best Troy, sometimes you need search for your own dreams, never give up stay positive 😊
