Every job takes as long as it takes, Ray. You keep doing it your way. Long video or short video. They're all good. 👍

[@Lycaerix]

Two things I love: Mechanics who accurately point issues out, and owners who have them fixed.

[@hot_wheelz]

Totally agree, and as for all the salty people who were going Reeeeee in the comments, if the parts are objectively showing sub-optimal performance and the owner wishes to spend the dollary-doos to replace and upgrade the parts then frankly I fail to see how that is in any way harming all the people who clearly objected in the previous video's comments.

[@wilbilt]

Absolutely correct. I worked in the State of Kommifornia for nearly 20 years as an ASE-certified tech. Here, you cannot tell a customer a part is 'bad' unless it is bent, broken or out of spec. To do so will earn you the wrath of the Kommifornia BAR. You cannot even 'recommend' a part unless it is bent, broken or out of spec. What you can do is a little show and tell, Show the customer the part, note the age and some of the of the signs of potential failure. Let the customer make the decision to replace or not replace. That way, you stay out of trouble. A large tire store chain that came to Kommifornia in the 90's from Oregon learned these lessons the hard way. Telling customers they 'needed' calipers with every brake job, etc. Being honest and letting the customer make the decision is the best way.

[@shawntheriault6149]

Please don't ever listen to the people who want you to edit and shorten your videos. The best part about your videos is how in-depth you get on your repairs. It allows us to really learn how you do things instead of learning part of it and then, poof, it's magically finished. Keep up the amazing work, Ray!

I agree 100% . Not only is it entertaining, but we can fix our own issues with the videos .

[@Cheepchipsable]

His rambling does get a bit tedious at times, but it's his content. People don't appreciate how long it takes to edit videos, even simple edits take a long time. Running a business then going home to edit videos would be really time consuming, not too mention the time he would lose during the day setting up the camera for the videos. That's time lost which he could have been earning more income. An option is to watch at a faster speed, or just watch in X minute chunks. I'm sure there are plenty of shorter videos if someone is looking for a more specific and concise repair.

[@Wakeupandsniffthecoffee]

I agree, I break up my view time based on what I am busy doing. As long as it's interesting. I do videos and try to do the talking during it, except to join different videos into one, I don't know how to edit and voice over. Plus his rambling is more to the point at the time, than going back and watching and then adding audio. He is very wordly talented. Plus he remembers so many things from the past that ring a bell to me and it's fun to think about them again.

[@blahorgaslisk7763]

It's a case of having half the work done just by getting it on the lift, inspected and pulling the right front axle out with it's bound up u-joint. The added cost for time is a lot less than if you were to let Ray just fix that u-joint and put everything together only to have to come back in a year or two to fix the rest. So parts and some time makes economic sense in this case. Time is so darned expensive that it often makes sense to have as much fixed as possible once the car is off the floor. The frustrating thing is that this mens that those strapped for cash often end up having to pay more because they cant afford the extra parts and work at the same time, so they have to come back several times fixing things as their economy allows for it.

[@nightflightgl66]

My late Father was a mechanic for Dodge, Chrysler Plymouth for 37 years. Back in 1985, when I was 19, I worked in the Sears Auto Center for a couple years. I took a different career path after that. Now in the last half of my 50s, I just can't lay over fenders and twist my arms and back in ways I used to. But, I still like to do some basic wrenching on my own and my wife's vehicles and other little things in my garage. I don't mind at all videos being long. In auto repair things don't always go easy and to plan. With Ray's videos, you get to see when bolts strip or break, a fastener doesn't come loose, and the whole process of disassembly and reassembly. I like Ray's videos because it takes me back to the mid 1970s when after school ( grade school) I would walk down to the garage where my Father worked and watch him work on what we call the classic muscle cars and the regular cars. Plus I like seeing all the special tools you have to have on some of this now. My Father died in 1988, and if he could see how the cars are now, he would have a few non repeatable words for the auto engineering of today.

[@chriswhitelaw3126]

See….Ray is 100% honest to his fingertips. If a job goes smoothly, we see it. If a job fouls up, we see it. If Ray fouls up, we see it. We see, therefore, everything that might happen to us. I’ve fallen down every pit that Ray has shown us, from Noodle Arm, to low energy levels, to Karen kustomers. He tells it as it is. So it takes an hour? Who cares? One thing though….sooner or later Ray, you’ve got to let the wife unit loose with the power tools. Now that…Is gonna be a great video!

[@Invisibleman7]

Well said Chris 👊👏👏

[@Jay.Kellett]

I suspect the wife unit is busy with the office manager job, along with shuttling the kids around ( I call it the taxi cab driver stage of life), and cooking meals for the family. That said, the wife unit is free to repair whatever she feels comfortable with, and I admire her for stepping up to a challenge to do something new. You go girl!

[@isaiahwelch8066]

Ray, I just wanted to say: There ain't nothin' better than waking up to a new video from you, and having my morning coffee and cigarette while watching you take stuff apart. That said, keep showing the vlog format. The people complaining actually aren't considering: Sometimes you might miss something on a repair, or need help diagnosing a problem. Eric O. in New York has had a few videos where that's happened, and I believe you have as well. So what I'm saying is, the longer videos give us armchair, or actual techs, the opportunity to exercise our skills right along with you. And for that, I, at least, am grateful.

Roger in Pierre South Dakota 😊

[@dannymccann]

Ignore the naysayers Ray, you have 532k subscribers and counting for a reason. Your commentary is so natural and clear and your recording skills so strong and scenes well set up when watching you don't really realise you have edited your videos down. You get better angles on most of your work than the "more professional" outfits do. You've even started more in depth explanations recently of how certain mechanisms or parts function (not theoretically, but in the real world, which is what matters to us driveway mechanics). I cannot imagine the amount of time you spend on the non-operational part of running your business. Fixing vehicles and dealing with customers (and now staff) is hard enough (mentally and physically) - to then go home to tend to your family and somehow manage to throw out new, fully edited and polished up, quality content on a near daily basis is frankly incredible.

[@Wakeupandsniffthecoffee]

I agree and am fascinated by how well he can place the camera to get the shot, with a hand or stand or magnetic device or however he does it. The audio is generally consistent. I would love a wife unit depicting how he does it all from filming, getting various camera angles and how he does his editing at home. I could really learn from watching his video and editing work, like I have learned to fix cars from watching.

[@jamesreardon8585]

"Been there, done that". As a retired GM suspension/brakes mechanic I did not have to do a lot of Ford's. When I did the disassembly went just as badly as yours. Special tools can help a bunch. I waited to just before I retired to go to local steel pipe shop and have them cut off several sizes of pipe to use with press to remove joints. I also saw a tool called "Tiger tool" which I wished I had bought to help with "u" joints. My left hand has the scars of the three surgeries it took to remove the metal from my hand when the ball joint broke. I decided that day to never beat a "u" joint out with a hammer again. Good video.

You are right, Ray. Most of us don’t care how long the video is. We care about being entertained and educated and because we are “interested” in what you have to say the videos are never too long. The ONLY downside of a really long video (over an hour) is how much time someone has to watch. But if one was three hours, some would just have to watch it in chunks and KZbin allows us to stop the video and come back and pick up right where we left off. You know that people watch movies that are 2 plus hours long and don’t whine about it (unless they didn’t want to see it end) because they being entertained. You are entertaining and for those who don’t think so……well to each their own.

Enjoy your videos. Do not edit them for time. I like the more detailed repairs that are needed. 👍

Ray, not a big commenter. But!, I absolutely love the longer format, i.e. full video’s. It is more like I am there, over your shoulder, being shown by my favorite Uncle how to do something. Nothing left out, nothing left for me to figure out on my own. I really think that is what draws people in. Yeah, I and a thousand others KNOW the ball joint press cup has to allow the mass of the ball joint to move upwards into it but, there are a thousand others who are “mind-blown” and never considered the physics of it. You blast through it quick, so most are not annoyed, whilst the others are brought up to speed. Keep up the good work and know that so many are right there over your shoulder.

Please don't change the length of your videos. They are perfect! They are long enough for me to wake up slowly and get two cups of coffee in. Perfect way to start the day off!

Ray, a tip for those trackbar ball joints. Under the boot, the stud thins out before it turns into the ball, and it's a really good place to just cut it off. Then you can get the press with a large cup on it way easier. I worked in a fleet shop and we did these all the time on 450s and stuff.

Keep doing what you are doing. It is natural, unscripted and REAL. Great job!

[@dianab3827]

I like the longer videos. You get to understand more about how the repair was made.

[@deviantarsenal]

I'm glad you don't edit the videos down to a shorter length! I enjoy watching the step by step process on how to disassemble these different parts. Keep em coming!

[@darrenglaser4742]

Keep your videos exactly the same don’t change anything love watching the FULL process

[@theforogoten1]

We absolutely LOVE the long videos! Do not stop

[@zepp3lin]

Just because of one or two guys unhappy commenting of the duration of the video, doesn't mean that it represent 90% of us. Because 90% of us like your video the way it is. Minority does not represent the Majority. Carry on Ray you did a good job.

[@thewhitesteven]

Do NOT change anything about your videos, Ray. It’s impossible to make everyone happy, so make videos the way you want to make them. If you try to cater to the opinion of others, you’re going to lose the satisfaction and joy it brings you.

[@greasee.monkey7224]

I say to the folks that think Ray should edit down his videos, there is over a half million of us who enjoy Ray's organic style of video production. Let what works work. You rock Ray, just keep doing what your doing.👍👍

[@johnappleton9841]

the longer the video the better for me i am disabled and sit hear for hours watching you tube i only found your site a few weeks back and have watched all your videos and am now up to date can't wait for your next one keep up the good work Ray and a big thank you from all in England

[@russianrick8403]

Keep doing what you’re doing Ray. My favorite parts are the social commentary and the reality of hard work. I keep your long videos rolling while I’m working at my computer and I love every minute of it.

Some people will complain they have too much air to breathe. Just ignore them. You vids are great. Ron White said it best. "Ya Can't Fix Stupid".
