[@ralfie8801]

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.

(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!

[@daveanthony7923]

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

[@crawford323]

@@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.

Compression fittings usually have a nut and a ferrule set. Flares are made by massaging the tube end with a mandrel.

If people would follow maintenance schedules, a lot of these issues would not happen. I have friends and family ask how I get such high mileage out of my vehicles. It`s called Maintenance!!!! Every time I get gas, ALL fluids are checked, if oil or brake fluid is getting dark, IT`S GONE no matter the mileage. My 1991 C1500 Silverado has over 300,000 miles, and the only major repair was the trans rebuild. I flush the cooling system twice a year, end of winter and just before winter hits. I also believe these engineers who design these vehicles should have to work on them so they can realize how effed up their designs are. Great job as always Ray, wish I lived in your area, I would be a life long customer. Too many of the shops here are just a rip off, they have no morals anymore, for them it`s all about the Benjamin`s. I too have a brake clean addiction, I like things shiny too. I buy it by the gallon(30 bucks), pump sprayers are cheap, and I empty them back into the gallon container when done.

Watching yours and Erics videos remind me of why it's worth it to hire professionals. I'm ok with diy, but so much drama avoided just finding good techs.

Good job! I had to do this job with wheel ramps. I didn't like it much. Oily and filthy.

I cringed that the battery was sent out with the corrosion on the battery terminal. You’re stronger than I am Ray. I couldn’t have done it. Excellent work on the power steering lines. ❤️❤️

[@michaelpressman7203]

The battery was no good it probably take it over to parts store and let them do it for free I understand how people think but if they're willing to put the battery in let them have at it just make sure they tighten the terminals up right have a good day

[@luciw9928]

@@michaelpressman7203 Make sure they use anti corrosion spray in the posts and terminals too. Have a fabulous day! 😀❤️

Corroded battery is like a hangnail cant unsee it yet know it need to be done...

I loved the use of the crow's foot as a ultra stubby wrench

I'm thinking you should just buy brake cleaner in 55-gal drums and use it to feed a pressure washer... Would save a lot of small cans... :)

If only.... IF only..

[@billymcloughlin]

When I worked at Toyota we got it in a 55gal drum. And the shop had several pressure sprayers we used. The attachment on the drum would fill so much fluid then pressurize the sprayer. Probably wayyy cheaper then buying cases

[@edwardmyers1746]

​@@billymcloughlin cases got expensive as shit man, I can imagine it would be way cheaper. cases are like $50 now
