Knocking on Cold Start (LBZ DURAMAX) 300,000 mile Engine 

Ya, I'd say that's as bad as it can get. Are you talking from experience?

@@matthewellisor5835 "slam dunk"...or a school bus and a 'friendly' ABS light on.

The worst thing that can happen is when George Carlin did a routine called...I Kinda Like It When a Lotta People Die...1 and 2 days before 9/11. His daughter released the album 15 years later. It is said he knew the people on the plane because he routinely took one of those flights on a Monday morning.

My, you must be a fun person to get stuck in a lift with!

That escalated quickly....

And $$ lotsa $$$

@@mrbigvanlife7130 true! Dave is the perfect combo for Ray. Quiet, easy going and good at his job. Helps out but doesn't intrude on the videos. Can't be easy working around the filming. You'd hear me clear across the workshop first time I grazed a knuckle...and that clip would have to be adult only!

Can we have some "Cut to DaveCam" moments to see how far along he's getting?

I concur.

😂

Fun fact: That iconic "eagle scream" sound we're all used to is actually from a red-tailed hawk.

@@BixbyConsequencecame here to say that

@@BixbyConsequencefrom what I’ve heard, the eagle makes a rather disappointing sound

​@@Pointlesschan yeah to us. Not to its prey 😂😂😂

Fahrenheit = Freedom Units.

😊😊😊😊😊😊

(Uk) Carry on mechanicing

Any lubricant? 😂

The auto shop teacher at my high school, back in the early 1980's used to say, "Find the hole with your finger first." Sound advice for teens interested in "finding the hole".

Tell me about it I was getting dizzy just watching certain parts of the video 😂😂

Yep. Dont do drugs kiddies. Instead of fixing trucks youll wake up in the bed of one.

@@InCountry6970 Why would he want to use a tripod badly? :)

I am a very stable person myself and I don't get vertigo unless I am extremely sick. I had to look away from how bad the fisheye effect was. IDk which is worse the wobble focus of an earlier GoPro or this fisheye lens

@@InCountry6970 He normally carries the gopro on the articulated mount.

🙈👺

Isn't that a problem in all trades and professions but there are those that don't care about their jobs. Why are mechanics singled out for being lazy being crooked etc etc etc when we're working I'm badly designed vehicles with consumers or fleet managers that don't want to spend any money on fixing their junk but they haven't taken care of. Beating our bodies up backs joints knees wrists elbows you name it. Not to mention the thousands of dollars we spend to buy to perform our jobs. Name one other trade that has to spend that much money on their tools! In addition, mechanics as a hole are paid the least of any of the trades. For me, I was lucky. Working in the San Francisco Bay area where a lot of the shops were Union back in the '70s '80s. During my 43-year career I had 4 different jobs. Made excellent money at all of them especially the last one which was covered under the tipsters Union. I retired in 2014 today that job is paying over $100,000 a year plus Cadillac benefits. In addition it's an Aesop company meaning you get a huge payout after a few years. I wouldn't have retired except my body told me it had enough fun so I packed my tools. The other advantage to being a mechanic is that you can keep your cars for a long time. My wife's car is a LX 5 l mustang it's been modified a little bit suspension and 355 gears. A little Street fighter. She keeps it in showroom condition and my '93 F-150 SVT lighting. Also in showroom condition. Are the day truck is up 93 stock F-150. Good shape nothing special well kept. Always vehicles were bought used for total of around $22,000. That wouldn't be a down payment of the stuff you have to buy now. And personally I wouldn't want it. Too complex and equipped with stuff you don't need. Also, being a mechanic you're able to take care of here Jeeps, boats cars etc plus do stuff around the house and using your mechanical skills to your advantage. I'll guarantee you our boat never went to the loading ramp with a dead battery in our wheel bearings on the trailer never failed. So, in closing, you can call the mechanics whatever you want All I know is a trade's been good to me and the skills I have have served me well so anyone that doesn't like mechanics you can go suck eggs and pay a couple hundred dollars at the dealership to have your cars fixed and that my friends is $200 an hour!

We certainly does display his knowledge of Chevy trucks and a Duramax diesel in particular. Oh that's right he worked for a dealer got excellent training and obviously took advantage of it and he drives one of those Chevy junks. Hey Ray, glad you found your nuts.

Great line !

Sosmeone HAD to say that eventually 😂.

You forgot "Bzzzzt !"

Me too, or even clickage

Well, going to boy a new torque wrench today, because I need it. But still will have to do the turn 90 degrees twice on the head. Old ones did come loose, but got a pack of new ones anyway.

You can tell this owner takes care of it that is a really nice truck for having over 300000 miles on it

Bad pun. 😢 … 🤣😆😝

​@@williamsquires3070 your just mad yoi didn't think of it.

@@bobbg9041 trust me, I wouldn’t want to. 😝

same! i had no idea diesels had no sparkplugs

I had heard of glow plugs, but had never seen one.

@@djspbb As a teen, I worked summers on a neighbors farm. He had diesel tractors. How are diesel engines stopped if there is no ignition system?

@@timd1833 Fuel supply is cut off instead of ignition. Great question.

@@djspbb Same here, heard of them, but never saw one that I know of.

Exactly it's just like any heating element. It will only go so hot. Just like the electric stove top element. Fair test imo.

They are destination garbage anyway.

he's going to replace all of them anyway !

You do realize he did it with the old one. You know the ones not going back in the vehicle.

@@matts9011 Modern glow plugs are not like simple heating elements - most modern glow plug manufacturers specifically say not to connect them to 12v because you risk burning out the element or damaging the plug internally. They are designed to be operate from a controlled current source. Just go type 'Correct way to test glow plugs' into google - you will not find industry sources telling you to just chuck 12v into them. Admittedly these were not going to be reused, but the video does give the impression that this is an ok way to test your plugs, which is totally wrong. Years ago yes, when they were designed to take the full current from a battery, but most new plugs are not designed to take full current.

Yup. The worst part is it ties up a bay in the shop wasting valuable time and money. Especially when the part comes from out of town. Even one day is potential for hundreds of dollars, over a freaking ten dollar part. I get why Ray is PO’d. My suggestion to Ray? Ignore the trolls. Feeding them just makes them louder.

Best Wishes from the North of Germany!

Back at you. Best holiday ever. God bless all the former and present vets, and all who have given their lives for our great country.

And Vote Red...

I rigged up a glow plug kill system so I could use ether, but usually I use propane as a start assist

I don’t understand the point of your story at all. What was funny about it?

Don't understand??? It's like sending an electrical apprentice for a wire stretcher lol

A mechanic understands his message.😂

@@SWATT101, yup. Or a left handed screw driver!

I liked the change the “blinker fluid”. In electronics, we use to charge up small capacitors and leave them laying around. A new guy would always pick them up. The pop and ensuing scream would cause much laughter.

DewClaw! Say Happy Canada Day to AvE and his family for us.
