Imagine that - just got a scammer message off a comment I left on the "Lucky Gunner Ammo" YT channel. I got a good chuckle out of it, as I'd just watched your scammer vid before watching this one. Pretty obvious - "Text + (phone number in circles)" - "Contact us for something special". Yeah, I'm betting it's REAL "special" - as in "short bus special".

Is this the real Ray or the fake Scammer Ray? How do we know that you haven't highjacked our buddy Ray's channel? Prove it by answering these questions that only the Real Ray would know: What does Ray say when the phone rings? What is the name of Ray's attack chicken? How many Harbor Freight Tools does Ray own? In what country does Ray live? What is the name of Ray's pet camel? How many free cars has Ray given away in his 20 years on KZread?

Ray, you're a gentleman and a scholar for correcting that break line twist. You may have saved a few people some grief, or even out right some lives.

As a self-made engineer working with atomic particle accelerators for over 30 years, I've had my share of working on electronic control systems as well as coolant plumbing and water cooling systems. So I'm somewhat familiar with all the trials and tribulations you go through to get these cars bolted together properly. In my job I also had to do a great deal of instruction to other technicians and engineers. Ray I am very impressed with your work. Yes you sure you're mistakes but you also show how you're learning in the process. We're only human we all make mistakes the good thing is if you're able to catch the mistakes and correct them before some real damage can occur. I watch a lot of your videos and the more I watch the more I'm impressed with how professional you are at your job. Keep up the good work. Dave Robertson

Everyone, please note. Ray goes to work and takes us along for the ride but there's a bit more to it. Every time he makes a change in the camera angle is time he gives us from his earnings. He also has to go home and edit a day's worth of work, taking time away from family. I know I appreciate the efforts, thank you. Stay safe Brother

It was a testament to your talent when you got that caliper flipped without taking the wheel off. Well done Rainman.

Doing the flip is easy. Recognizing the twist in the hose and actually doing something about it without selling the customer more labour or not needed parts….. That is what makes Ray a good professional mechanic.

Nice catch on the twisted break hose, that shows an attention to detail that's unfortunately missing in a lot of areas now days, it did remind me of a funny story that happened to me years ago, I had a customer come in one day complaining that after he put front pads on his own car they were making a loud grinding noise, at first I thought it would be something simple like the backing plate rubbing, but when I pulled the wheel off I discovered the pad was installed backwards, in all my years of working on cars that was a first for me.

Lost a twisted brake hose once on a cross-country trip. It was that way when I bought the car and I never caught it. Ended up in an Autozone parking lot, napping until they opened on a Sunday AM. They had the hose and I had just enough tools and clearance under the van to get it done. I always double-check them now. Always. When I ran a shop, we'd sometimes pick up auction cars to keep guys busy when things were slow. We did buy one Dodge that had backward front pads. The brakes were noisy, but they kinda worked. Guys in the shop couldn't get over it.

I am simply amazed at how quick and easy you make something look that would take me much, much longer. Good touch with that twisted brake hose!

Just love the combination of real world vehicle maintenance and entertaining commentary. Keeps me interested, learning, and laughing. This channel, southmain, and vice grip garage, what more could a guy ask for. Thanks Ray and keep it up.

Glad you're making your videos more dramatic with special effects. Really enjoy your videos and your humor.

Great job sir, I've done many trans and transfers R & R , it's a blessing with a lift.

Hey Ray I did this exact same job today on a 2018 Silverado 5.3. Got all the tubes and Christmas trees clips back into where they came from. Awesome video, great attention to detail!

You are crazy COOL DUDE! You tackle just about ANYTHING and do so with care and dedication. You set the standard for others who might be clueless... but I know there are a TON of very qualified who also watch. "Hats off" to you guys too! There's a generic saying applicable to most every aspect of work: "If you want something done assign it to a 'BUSY' person." Ray is such a BUSY personality.

I had that done on my 2002. 2500 6.0 They done a good job and I under stand it’s a very hard job to do. Was very expensive. About a week after I had the main seal replace the transmission started leaking. I need my old truck and now no leaks. But was very costly. We love your videos. You do more with one left hand than most people do with both their hands. Awesome video. Iam a retired IUEC elevator technician.

Ray, I hope you are always as happy and chipper off camera as you are on camera!

Ray always does a great job. Like those brackets that attach to the bell housing studs. I can't tell ya how many motors and trans I've pulled and the guy before me left them off.

Your videos are the best I've ever watched! So informative and extremely entertaining. You are the best!!

You are a master mechanic, I love your videos.

Since i started to view your Videos, i started to stop taking "shortcuts" and started to do the stuff properly... Now im feeling a bit miserable that i did "shortcuts" on such " hard to bolt on brackets, etc" but thanks to you i got the intention back to do my job much better 🙏

Ray, because of you i'm having myself a great day! Thanks!

Thoroughly enjoyed that intro! Keep doing you, boss! Love it!

Rainman Ray's a gent...I'm in the middle of black pipe plumbing bud...love your quality work and attention to detail.

Boy do I wish you worked near me. I am impressed with your attention to detail.

Awesome job Ray, your the man not many mechanics would have noticed the caliber!!

Great video, Ray! Also, Congrats on 400k subscribers!

absolutely love your videos Ray.. I look forward to hearing that phone ring each day.. Please keep them coming..

That is so cool that you can get that caliber off without taking the wheel off awesome job Rae

A real professional job on the PITA main seal, however most of us were more impressed with the fact that you caught and fixed the brake line twist. Bravo!

The professionalism is just so inspiring, from the deft reach around to the persistence with the long rod to the call out of the tell tell drippage from previous insertions. I stand in awe Mr. Rainman! P.S. I really do like the way you review all the elements at the end of your repairs. Thanks for the content!

great vid lot of work yanking a transmission. watched the first vid for breakfast second in the afternoon after work. thank you very entertaining.

Thanks for part 2 of this repair mate, enjoyed seeing it all go back together without blood on your part, enjoyed you moving through the Matrix as well when the pipes fell well done on the fast reaction. Keep Safe Keep Strong 🦘🦘🦘🦘🚙🚙

I doo dee doo enjoy watching Ray's videos.

I become so invested in your videos that, when the Y-pipe section fell, I reached out to grab it so it wouldn't hit you in the head. I realize I'm sitting in a chair at home in Idaho, but that doesn't mean I don't want to help you stay uninjured. Nice find on that brake hose. I believe you actually did prevent a future accident by correcting that issue.

Wow. @22.02 I saw muffler gravity heading for my face and I instantly jerked my left hand up to protect my face. Unfortunately it was under the table so now I have a wound on the back of my hand. That is the first time I've been hurt watching someone repair a car. Thanks Rainman! LOL.

Awesome video. Love the length of the video!

Well done ray . Another job executed in a professional manner. Kudos to the customer for getting this fixed. A 12 year old car in the UK would have been dumped on the 2nd hand market if a problem came up like that.

Too funny! When that exhaust fell, I reached out to try to grab it for you Ray! Haha

I actually flinched when that exhaust fell. Feel silly now, not as silly as when I put sunglasses on when Ray is welding though!

Great vid, for the bellhousing bolts and other hard to reach ones I like to use swivel sockets. they've made jobs possible when you don't have room. they're so much better than universal joints because those bind up every 180 degrees. if you get a set you'll never go back! they come in deep and shorts. The only downside is you cant do a 90 turn on them but the socket never really stays at that angle anyway.

Good catch on that brake caliper. Im an aircraft mechanic and i know you would make a good aircraft mechanic. You ever thought of switching industries? We need a ton of them

Good catch on the break caliber line Ray 👍👍👍

as always, great work Ray!

Great repair and video Series Ray super Entertaining Love watching Mechanic videos when I'm Not At work Wrenching @Rainman Ray's Repairs

Seeing "C6" on the trans case took me back to my first car in the 80s, a 1973 Ford Galaxie 500 with the C6, 3speed auto back before lockup torque converters. 15mpg on the highway was great for the time!

Oh yeah my OCD would require I fix that brake caliper also 👊🏻 the universe is now stable 😁

Yes when you were doing the loctite you mentioned yellow and green I thought they were only blue and red I'm learning something also why you're why are your nuts blue and by the way as usual you did a fantastic job it's amazing watching you they have a great day

GMs have one smaller hole in the flex plate to start the torque converter bolts so you don't have to put them all in and go around twice. Also an air ratchet and 15mm swivel is what I use to tighten them. Usually because everything is 4wd up here.

Great job Ray. Excellent video and audio. Don’t be bothered by trolls.

Nice job on the brake line.

I thanked Eric O for hooking you up with the Brake Kleen intro sound so you it's legit😃

Thank you 😀

“Arrghh trans money shot to the face!” I laughed so hard, thank you for the recap!

When you play the fanfare sound bite, the can of brake clean should be held at the bottom with the Autozone logo prominently displayed, and it should enter the frame suddenly from lower right to upper left to heighten the effect. The way you used to do it. Covering most of the can with your hand without proper sound support disappoints. Great videos.
