[@Mrdugan5269]

This may sound dumb but i got tired of trying to catch draining fluids just for it to run sideways and dump on the floor anyway so i bought a concrete mix tub and i wish i did so a long time ago. Some sit as low as a drain pan but holds way more. Great for tight quarters and lots of drips and drains. Slide it under, do what needs done, brake clean everything down into tub, catch damn near everything

[@Nobody-ld7mk]

Ten speed automatic transmission seems so un-necessary, more "Planned Obsolescence". Ford must have pulled those engineers over from NASA, think the Space Suttles ran 10 speed transmissions? Ford should contract Fuller to manufacture a baby 10 speed manual trans for those work trucks that will run well over a million miles without service. America's future is screwed; to smart, to fast.

[@TStheDeplorable]

@@Nobody-ld7mk I have a 2002 Silverado with the super-reliable 4.6 engine and a 4 speed automatic transmission. I paid only $15k for it new. On a lark I checked to see what a baseline Silverado goes for now, about $45k. It now has a turbocharged 4 cylinder engine and an 8 speed automatic. I blame the federal government's ridiculous mileage requirements. I'll just keep driving my 22 year old truck. All I've replaced so far are a water pump and an alternator. I've priced rebuilt engines and transmissions, and I'll go that route if they ever fail. But I do fear that the government will ban rebuilding old vehicles, just as they've done to older engines for over the road trucks.

Where I live it's illegal to even use high beams unless outside of city limits and no street lights around. On the other hand I've never heard of anyone getting stopped or getting a ticket for it so it's not enforced although it's on the books.

I worked for the National Park Service in the equipment shop for 34 years. My division supervisor told me they had a boat load of money to spend and asked what I needed for the shop. I told him I would like a trans fluid ex-changer, a brake fluid flusher and a coolant ex-changer and explained how it would increase the life of our vehicles by changing fluids at prescribed intervals. Six months later I got an oil filter squisher. Go figure.

[@mtebaldi1]

😅I can see they took your advice. They obviously wanted new trucks more than keeping the old ones running. You know government if the money is not spent it is taken away.

[@darrylhowe1465]

It's likely that was all they could afford after spending the majority of the money lining there own pockets.

[@05magmn]

I can see the advantage of a flush, in that it replaces the fluid in the converter. But also not changing the filter, is like not changing your engine oil filter when doing a oil change. The filter is designed to last the life of the fluid, and then be changed. If you want to be really thorough on it we should probably do a filter and a fluid flush! Ray you did this one right!

[@thedoc9062]

Thanks Ray,always educating while being comical as hell! Always looking for your next upload. 👍

I guess drilling one would be out of the question, especially on trucks that you know are going to rack up the miles. I mean that is the promise of a good diesel engine. They should able to last for hundreds of thousands of miles with proper maintenance.

[@dennisgarryowen8885]

I think that this is the best way to service a transmission. I just did this service to my own truck. It is more expensive than just replacing the filter and the fluid in the pan, but if you can afford the additional cost it is worth it.

If the AMSOIL meets or exceeds the FOMOCO ULV specifications, what is the concern? Have you seen higher failure with non Ford oils being used?

I have sadly I don’t know why that’s above my pay grade. However majority of my 10r140 rebuilds are on long haul rigs like this and they all have aftermarket fluid that does meet or exceed fomoco ulv. It’s always cause of deteriorating seals. Nothing to do with smoked clutches. But I’ve pulled apart hundreds of same mileage units with ulv and they have smoked clutches and the seals are fine so I’m not sure. I’d like to know the science of itv all

4 hours to do the fluid exchange and 4 hours of cleanup. One simple drain plug on the pan would make this so much easier.

[@victorsong8416]

Hey, that's expensive! Who can afford that? It would cost a dollar or perhaps two!

[@alanm.4298]

A drain plug on the pan would only partially drain the ATF. The torque converter, cooler,.etc. would all still be full of the old stuff. If Ray was correct, he got 9 quarts out of the pan (it may hold 10, allowing for spillage) and he thought it was a 28 quart system... so a drain plug would leave almost 2/3 of the old ATF.

[@57dent]

​@@alanm.4298 I don't think he was intending drain plug to replace a fluid exchange! Just to empty transmission so you can change filter or service internals! For the 1-2$ extra it is incredible that they don't provide a drain plug!

"...could be caked with snow and slush....." I can relate... The USAF sentenced me to 4 rears at GFAFB (Grand Forks, ND) 1976-1980. My AFSC (AF Specialty Code) was 47252 - General Purpose Vehicle Mechanic. If it was painted AF Strata Blue and had wheels, I fixed it. We had some 400+ GPV's running around the base and missile complex. The shop could hold about 30 vehicles inside at one time. There were NO (zero lifts) and only 2 pits. All repair work and most service work was done at floor level or on jack stands. Not only was everything caked in snow and ice when it came in the shop, but cold outside air came rushing in along the floor every time an overhead door went up. Winters (generally) lasted from October to April and were miserable in the shop.

And the other most egregious one is the left lane people who aren't passing anyone and won't move over to the right lane

[@dans_Learning_Curve]

If I'm driving on a two lane road, I'll leave my lights on high beam. I'll pay attention if and when the driver dims, I'll dim. If we're getting close, and they haven't dimmed, I'll dim. 70% of the time it works all of the time they'll see the change in my lights and dim. Something has to draw their attention. If they don't dim, I'll leave mine on dim and divert my eyes to the right side of the road strip. I don't turn my brights on because *we don't both need to be blinded!* I have found myself forgetting to dim. No one is perfect. Forgiveness and grace is required in dealing with someone you're passing on the road that you'll only encounter for the brief moment. 🤔

You should start using a pump to remove the fluid from the transmission when removing the pan. By using an “ inboard oil change pump” you can remove 90% of the fluid before removing pan. Fluid can be removed through the dipstick tube or hole where dipstick would be.

Anyhoo, got to do the trans, (automatic gearbox UK), will probably be using the magnetic drain plug removal tool, that I bought as I saw you using one, you remember, you just used it to undo the last few threads? A few of the other jobs I have done in the last seven months of ownership; Wished I had a garage, A LOT as I have to work in the street! Sorted out 'machine gunning', (where the door locks would rapidly lock and unlock when you locked the car with the fob)which happened just after I bought the car.

Oil change, pumped out through dipstick tube. Cavity waxed and undersealed with lanolin-based wax Power steering pump, twice, as the first one I got failed after 10 miles, I also changed the variable speed unit that changes the stiffness at low speeds. Serpentine belt, three times before I noticed the tensioner was out of alignment.

Fitted cheap Chinesium HUD, the missus keeps reminding me when I'm speeding, so unfitted!

To-do list: Diff oil, trans fluid (flush) with newer larger capacity sump, as above. Oh yeah, drive the bloody thing! Keep on keeping on Ray😃

[@armslength2618]

With racking so many haul miles and lots of fluid changes, it's time for the owner to install a pan with integral bung, just like a oil pan has. That's so he can do it more often with much less aggravation. You don't have to change all the fluid in the tranny, just what's in the pan, which might half of it. The worn stuff can just be augmented with the new additives and base oil to bring fluid performance back up to spec. It's not like it's full of dirt or anything. And you don't have to change the filter all the time either - it's not like engine oil. The filter is mostly a safety mechanism to catch the small amounts of metal shavings occurring through wear, which isn't very much.

[@DHS956]

Subscriber from the beginng here, Ray. Wanted to point out that if one has 600k subscribers and only one out of 10 is an ahole, that means 60,000 aholes. If only 1 in 100 aholes comment, that's 6000 rude comments. In other words, don't worry about the negative stuff some say. When you have that many people watching your great content, some aholes will always feel the need to be themselves. Just keep right on doing what you're doing. Love your channel.

It is indeed a numbers game

[@fred414141]

the local Ford Dealer pushes cars around with an electric forklift - no forks - there are 2 car tires with inflated inner tubes mounted to the front, side-by-side, and further cushioned with 2 couch cushions tied on. works great!

[@alabamared2568]

Well I done it again. Welcome to the weekend ray Lauren and family...great week of content love every video 40 minutes average is great..keep up the great work my good man ...Heller from Morgan county Alabama

[@SpankyCool-ib3pc]

Somebody that can and does do something right. Right fluid and the right mechanic good job Raymond. Nitro Joe.

[@jseen9568]

Hey ray when youre dealing with these transmissions, use a transfer pump in the fill port and you can get like 80% of the fluid out without issue. Makes the pan a lot easier to get off

[@wildman1137]

Fluid level needs to be checked with transmission temp verified at 195 to 215 degrees. If you filled it to the fill hole below that temp it's overfilled, and will aerate and vent when it gets hot pulling a load.

[@Buster-jg9zg]

Ray, I like the longer vids, my mechanicing days self taught were in the late 70’s 80’, so now with all the new tech it is interesting, keep them coming.

[@Obsidian-One]

Keep up the great work Ray! Once again learning! Thanx.

[@patrickgoodwin3085]

Impeccable work as always!

[@LeadStarDude]

I have never flushed out a transmission like that. I have changed filters and whatever fluid dropped out before. I recently had a torque converter swapped out during a motor swap, and the mechanic said that he flushed the transmission like that and changed my filters again during the process. My truck had 246k miles on it when the timing chain tensioner decided to break and destroyed my 5.7 hemi in my 2005 dodge ram 1500. That's what initiated the engine swap. I got a rebuild from Jasper with a 100k mile warranty, and I told the mechanic to go ahead and put in a new torque converter and new front seal on the transmission while he had it apart.

[@jenniferettish6486]

After rolling around on a creeper under my car this morning I can sympathize with Ray.

[@arthurjennings5202]

I am amazed that you are able to show as much as you are able when doing these videos. It is hard enough in a normal situation, but rolling around on a creeper under the truck, trying to work and position the camera for sometimes unappreciative viewers, makes me wonder if you are able to beat the flat rate. Thanks a bunch for letting me look over your shoulder.

[@eddiereichel9354]

I had another shop bring me a 2020 transit 350 and a different shop put motor on a d it never ran right afterwards. Found it didn't want to back up. Got it in the shop and found cracked intercooler. Likely the original problem that ruined the engine on first place. Put the new intercooler on and it ran good but still had exhaust leak. Also it would not move in reverse. Found that transmission was 3 quarts low. Middle shop had pushed it with another truck 15 miles to my shop. Makes ya wonder what first shop was thinking putting engine on first place. They couldn't find a boost leak and never checked trans fluid after having trans cooler removed. Not all mechanics are the same. If ya find a good one then don't piss them off.

[@AJwoodway]

I turned on the captions, muted the sound and played Molly Hatchet “The Creeper” during this video. Worked perfect. 🤣🤣

[@Userf451]

That squeaky creeper sounds just like the sound in No Country for Old Men when Lewellen was moving the 2 million case in the motel air vent.

[@jackkreighbaum783]

Many years ago (1962), I needed the soft plugs replaced in my 1957 Ford in Flagstaff, AZ, in winter. The Ford dealer refused to work on the car until the snow and ice melted. Couldn't blame them.

[@thepubliceye]

Getting hit with High beams is bad even when you have young eyes that adjust rapidly but old people really have a bad time. I've heard there are a few old folks in Florida. I just realized something being an old fart, before I got my cataracts fixed, I could not see at night without my high beams on so I didn't drive at night if at all possible.

[@marcopolo7163]

Awesome to see some people who don’t fall for the “lifetime ATF” scheme, been replacing fluids and filters on my cars every 50k

[@stevenallen1392]

I always, always chuckle when I hear the 'Look who that guy is.' intro.

[@patrickdiehl6813]

Yep the melty Frozen road encrusted snow and Ice... A nice chunk of that fell straight down the back of my Monkey suit at the tender age of 16 in Vocational Auto while under some 70's vehicle on a rack in Mid-January. Much to my irritation and my classmates delight I danced around until I stripped it off and got the offending cold wet mixture out of it. I chose right then and there to continue turning wrenches but not in that environment. After seeing the Bs you have been through in dealerships and other repair shops it only makes me feel correct in my decision. Your hard work, perseverance and financial management allowed you to rise above all of that and begin building what I see as a viable growing business which will continue to grow and prosper. Additionally give the opportunity to other worthy mechanics to continue to grow in the right atmosphere. To the day @ almost 61 I will get on my back under my vehicles and do repairs, oil changes Etc. It's in our blood. Much respect to you and all of the others who go out there day after day, ferret out the issues mechanical and electrical and correct them and get vehicles and machinery up and running again. We are what keeps this country going👊

[@orinmangar2333]

On the final fluid check you need to check Ford specified transmission temperature range, and hook up your scan tool. When it reaches the exact temperature, then open the level plug, and check flow. My car is 104 degrees Fahrenheit.

[@mrmustangman]

what car is it.???????

[@lamatrisefontain98]

Isn’t amazing how Engineers unfailingly locate cross members and flanges exactly where fluid needs to drain so that it makes the largest mess possible.

[@DLRPyro1]

When I removed the trans pan on the 6R80 in my F150, I stuck the tube of my pneumatic suction brake bleeder into the filled port to remove 90% of the fluid which made pan removal much cleaner and easier

[@icestormmusic]

🎵Raaaaymond, you don’t have to turn on the blue light! Those days are over, just turn on the automatic brights! 🎵

[@aciddiver1978]

To flush engine or transmission when replacing oil, is only a good thing. Did it for many years, clean engine and no problems.

[@craigcraigster4999]

I hope you thank your lucky stars every day you wake up Ray that you have Lauren in your life -- seriously. 🙂

[@isaiahwelch8066]

Ray, as many long wheelbase vehicles as you have had in the shop, maybe it is time to consider a four-post lift, so you can lift a long wheelbase vehicle securely, so you can do these types of services without being on a creeper. At the very least, find out if there is some way to add some additional space for a long-base alignment rack, so you could, in theory, do the current job using that type of rack.

[@user-ol5rj8qn9o]

I feel for ya Ray. I don't have a lift so when I'm in my driveway working under my vehicles on a cardboard mat, I also utter many choice words (some ineligible) that I won't repeat here and certainly not with kids around.

[@carlbaecht]

Had to laugh when you were talking about the snow and yuck. Just had to replace the conductor plate in my 6R80 transmission in my ford f150 in my driveway, with a floor jack, 22 degrees outside, the day after we received 18” of snow. Felt you were speaking directly to me with that comment. lol.

[@Stanjara]

Love your longer videos Ray!

[@Uncle_Fester24]

I think this truck might he the hottest one you have had on the channel. That Iconic silver and the platty seats are the bomb! Great video..big job!

[@Joex51x]

you have the Chinesium car weld some Push bars on that and use it for Moving cars

[@chrischallacombe3477]

ALWAYS a like when awesome brake clean effects happen! Another good video Ray! Cheers buddy!

[@williamsquires3070]

Ray’s videos are good edu-tainment! 😊

[@TimmyTechTV]

I wish there was someone like you in the Seattle area. :(

[@bobbg9041]

Idea, find a used broken down powered pallet jack and turn it into a car mover. You can find them at about 300 to 2k some place could even give you one to get it out of the wear house. Its problematic in a corner collecting dust. In the way most the time.

[@jaygillock6218]

Ray, you seem to have an affinity to hire employees with four letter names... Troy, Dave, Cody, Wife 😊

[@bobberndt9744]

You forgot 'Unit' 😅

[@paulocarvalho6480]

Man, stop! You're killing me.🤣

[@karenkartz3163]

I need to agree with you about the high beam indicator, having driven near 3 million miles that I can remember.
