Ratchet, sockets, breaker bar, screwdrivers, pliers, allen wrenches, a pry bar, a linear force applicator (hammer) and a drain pan. Those tools would cover you for oil changes, brake pad replacement (rotors as well unless they're of the old school with bearings and grease inside), air filter, any light bulbs (inside or out).

Dang that oil looked pretty clean when you pulled the dipstick. I've owned a few 7.3 diesels and when I change the oil, its totally black after just one whip around the block. Not like Ive neglected them either. Pretty religiously change the oil every 3500-4000 miles. Those motors literally run forever tho! Unfortunately the rest of the truck starts falling apart after 350,000 miles

Personal experience.....fill the filter with oil before spinning it on. Oh, and the 7.3 is a 15 qt system. I'd still say he got a heck of a deal at that price.

It was very interesting to me. I used to love doing this sort of thing. I was messed up in a motorcycle accident about 10 years ago and now I can not work on cars any more. Watching videos like this scratch that itch.

Been doing oil changes on diesels for a while now, best way I found is to screw a self tapper into the bottom and then remove it to drain the oil. Makes it super clean to take off

The spinning ratchet effect is angular momentum. When on the armature of the electric motor of the ratchet is spinning. When you let go of the whole tool (including the tiger) the electric brake engages and this transfers the angular momentum of the armature to the stator so the tool spins -until you catch it and the rest of the momentum is transferred to your hand. But there isn't enough force to spin Ray.

Working as a diesel tech for a while, took an old rounded out screwdriver and ground it down to a beefy icepick. Puncture the filter at the bottom, pull the pan plug and do everything else while you wait for it to drain. Saves a lot of oil ingestion.

Every time I drop the oil drain plug (or radiator drain, or trans plug...) into my catch pan, I say to myself "I bet REAL mechanics don't do that." Seeing someone with skills like yours have the same trouble makes me feel better about myself.😉

One thing that we do at work when changing diesel engine oil is we either use a welding hammer or just a tapered punch bit on our air hammer and poke a hole in the bottom of the filter in the middle and let the filter drain before taking it off. It makes the job a lot easier and whole lot less mess. Granted in this oil change scenario you didn't have quite the amount of room that you would have needed probably.

yep yep, that's what we did at the diesel shop I worked at. Basically anything pointy that you can give a couple wacks with a hammer. I made mine out of a screwdriver I ground to a pointy point. And punch the hole before you loosen the filter. We also pre-filled the filter before installing. Surprised he didn't do that.

I bought a new 2001 F350 Lariat 4x4 to pull our 5th wheel trailer. I always changed the oil every 4000 mile and had the transmission flushed every 18000 miles. I know that is a bit of over kill, but I never had one issue with the truck (other than the fact it was too heavy to go off roading). I always used Rotella and did it myself, and it was still expensive.

Pretty sure the wrench spinning like that is due to conservation of angular momentum, which is a really cool physics thing- it's the same reason spacecraft can control their orientation (in basically the same way you showed) by spinning heavy disks really fast. Speeding them up and slowing them down allows the spacecraft to rotate without using fuel.

@donkoltz1

Although your explanation of angular momentum is spot on, I think you are over thinking it. The part of the tool spinning perpendicular to the orientation of the tool may not be causing this. There is a vertical component of the mechanism that spins the half-inch drive and that, when it stops, causes the rest of the too to continue rotating along the same plane.

You made it amusing good sir lol. And, hearing the banter of the others in the shop as well in the background made it seem more real not staged. Good Job!

Physics lesson time! The "centrifugal force" demo at 4:17 is actually a demonstration of angular momentum- the little motor in that ratchet is spun up and gets a load of momentum, and when you shut it off, it wants to keep spinning. The motor ends up pulling the case along with it, either through friction in some place or a permanent magnet in the case of a brushless motor, and causes the whole ratchet body to spin. P.S. Centrifugal force is an ix-nay on the force-ay list as far as most physics, since it's seen as an imaginary force. You "feel" centrifugal force when you spin a bucket of water around you, but that "force" pulling the bucket away from you is basically just the normal force, a reaction to your own centriPETAL force

Everything you post is entertaining, Ray. Whether you are giving us a lesson on mechanics or maintenance, or fixing a flat and changing the oil. Your videos feel like I'm hanging out in the driveway with a great friend or my brother, shooting the breeze, while he works on his latest project car, or he picks up a few bucks working on a friend / neighbor's car. Your channels are a happy place, so to speak. ❤

Good vid Ray. Especially when you removed that “joke” 2 yard long dipstick you had rigged up.. And , you really got me with that tapping on the alternator. Big smile here…yes,…got me! Well done!-)

I enjoy watching you do your work, especially since I'm 88 thumbs when it comes to working on cars. I can do basic repairs but there's always blood involved. I do great finish work and flooring without bleeding but automotive is not my forte. Lol I like how you find the best way to get a job done.

Complains of price yet you wanted a diesel. Note: for the people wanting a diesel truck. Expect to pay Mercedes Benz level repairs. Even oil is 3 times the price of a non-diesel engines.

Never seen Diesel oil that expensive always been about the same price when I've been buying. As for diesel & economy elsewhere in the world typically diesels have been way more economical from an mpg pov, US sized engines it doesn't seem to matter diesel/petrol its 15mpg or so no incentive to make smaller more efficient powerful units like in Europe where you can get 30, 40, 50mpg or more. Mind you when you can get those engines in the US they get laughed at as there's still the mindset you need a 5.0 or bigger at all times 😉

I had a 1996 Ford F-350 with the 7.3. I bought it 1997 with about 175 miles on it from a ford dealer.and it was brand new. Special order truck and the guy who order it got tired of waiting for it. I got very lucky aquiring this truck. With that being said spent the money on the investment. At that time oil changes were 150 dollars. People just don’t get it. I went as far as letting the engine idle for cool down after a trip. And let engine warm up before driving. Some people just don’t care. That in a way is an investment. Getting several 100 thousand miles of reliable service is Priceless. Live in Michigan and didn’t drive the truck in the winter. With that being said.... You take care of it and it will take of you. Open your wallet!

As someone else suggested, on filters like these to avoid the big mess, punch a hole on the bottom and let it drain. And do it after you break it free, just in case it is stuck.

The tapping to make it sound like rod knock was just hilarious 13.5 quarts of oil and a filter and she be good For another 150k miles 🤣 the oil filling skills at the end was just perfect great work As always ray love the commentary like Eric O just hilarious 😂 @Rainman Ray's Repairs

First you almost had me running out the back door to check the orientation of the oil filler cap but at 11.00pm it can wait until tomorrow. Then you scared me half to death with that tapping noise. All of this frightening old people like me will have no doubt put you on Santa's naughty list and I hope he checks it twice. Have a happy Christmas Ray and Thank You for all the great videos.

Here's to another entertaining episode in the daily life of Rainman Ray. Great job Ray and everyone please have a Merry Christmas!!!!

You had me when tapping the wrench on startup! Dirty trick🤣 Oh, I had fun on the oil change. Nice monologues Ray, you have a gift👍

I had an '01 Excursion w/ a 7.3. Abso-freakin-lutely *LOVED* that power plant. That truck ran & drove like a dream. I did my own standard maintenance (oil, oil filter, fuel filter, air filter, etc) and had a trustworthy mechanic, such as yourself, that handled any major issues/repairs. That same mechanic bought the truck from me when my business closed, and his daughter and her family drive it to this day. Never a sweeter sounding diesel in my Ford-slanted opinion! 😎 And yes, I stayed to watch the pouring at the end!

Ray, I’m a diesel mechanic, you make me laugh about you aversion diesel oil. We are all mechanics, I just choose to work in the men’s department. But you are correct about the magical powers of diesel oils ability to morph into unseen locations. Keep up the videos.

Ray, that's called gyroscopic precession. (The twisting motion of your electric ratchet) If you spin the socket in the other direction, the tool will rotate the other way. I enjoy your videos and have learned a lot from them.

Rain Man, I have been a diesel mech for over 30 yrs. and I used a sharp tool to puncture the oil filter to let the oil drain out the bottom thus avoiding that dreaded black ooze that runs down over the filter upon loosening. saved me a lot of oil down the sleeve.

I’m a Canadian and couldn’t stop laughing at the cold start, and so jealous at the same time. 😂

Love your videos man. Addictive. And you are correct about Diesel oil splashiness. I have a 3L Mercedes Turbo Diesel in my Grand Cherokee. Takes 10 Litres, but always makes a mess. Last oil and filter change cost me 160.00 here in Canada. Synthetic oil, but the good thing is I only have to change it every 10k instead of 5k in my gas vehicles, so it works out to about the same.

Hey Ray, love the channel and you’re a good, honest wrench. Little tip - was a heavy diesel mechanic for years, vertical filter on these, before spinning it off, punch and hammer a drain hole in bottom of filter to drain before spinning off. Also best to fill new filter 3/4 or more with new oil before installing, picks the pressure up quicker on the start and usually won’t be low on level check. Diesel drain oil does have a mind of it’s own - one of those questions of the universe. Customer shouldn’t gripe about cost, try 14 GALLONS, two oil filters every month @ 12 - 14 k miles for a Cat, Cummins or Detroit - $$$$$ Keep up the good work!!!

$130 for an oil change on a 7.3 is a steal, last time I had to do it on one of mine it was over $150 and that was back on 2001. I miss that sound of that drone the beast makes under load and at idle, it could be my white noise when I sleep.

Ray, I have done that job on my 2000 F250 many times with the same sort of mess just about every time😂. Since I am not on the clock, I take a bit longer but less mess by punching a hole in the bottom of the filter and letting it drain that way. Much better than having oil run down the outside. That big filter holds a lot of oil so I partial prefill the new one before installing it. I really should get some new drain plug washers. I’ve gotten away with using the old one so far. On the other hand, if it ain’t broke….don’t fix it.😂

I am surprised that he didn't prefill the filter. There are some vehicles where one can't because the filter attaches at a non-vertical angle, but where on can I think it is better to prefill so that one gets oil pressure up quicker.

Maybe a tip for ya… I used to change oil a lot on semi truck. Their oil filters were HUGE and had tons of oil in them. I always took a cheap Phillips screwdriver and a small hammer and knocked a hole in the bottom to drain the filters. That way when you go to unscrew the filter, oil doesn’t go everywhere. Just a thought…

I've got the exact ratchet (75lbs) and absolutely love it! I'm a detail advisor and light body tech, It helps a ton when I need to get bolts out on older vehicles that are seized in. Thing literally rips them out! Helps a ton when I work on my XJ's as well

I had the exact truck, except the regular extended cab. Drove it for 13 years until I traded it for a 2016 F350 Powerstroke. Should have kept the '02. It was the only vehicle I ever had that needed me to tighten the oil filter more than a good firm hand tight. It would leak if I didn't give it a quarter turn with a strap wrench.

Tip to try, with a long (6-12") pointed punch put a hole in the bottom side of the filter before starting to remove, let the oil drain out into the oil tray then unscrew the filter as normal (note the oil comes out sideways place the tray carefully), with an empty filter you get no oil over the top or onto you. Nice videos thanks. (GB)

130 for a diesel service and he's upset? I used to work in a tire/lube shop and that was standard. The only time it got cheaper was if you got your tires there, then rotations were free so it knocked off 20 bucks

Its no fun wearing oil..makes the job much cleaner. i also always keep the cap off while its draining...makes it faster as well..never ever had a problem. Another great video Ray...love the heights that you take pouring to:-)

Oh my hat! 14.2 liters of oil. I too would be upset at the cost of the service. Oh wait. If I was driving a 7.3l vehicle. I would not be complaining about the cost of service. 🤦🏼

He has no actual need for a diesel. He feels a man MUST drive a big diesel truck. He also cries every time he fills up on fuel and gets oil changes. He'd actually make a profit by selling the F-250 and buying a used Civic, pocketing the rest to go towards therapy to figure out why he has such a bruised ego for buying a civic.

Great video! I miss changing the oil on the 250s and 350 out on the farm!

When I use to work at oil field rental. My job was maintenance of the semi trucks. We would tap a hole in the bottom of the old oil filter with a ice pick. To drain the oil without it spilling all over.
