@thoughtthinker9300 Год назад

You're looking at the money matters all wrong. You're still making money while working on your own vehicles. To spend a dollar in order to pay someone else. You pay them with dollars that you've paid income taxes on already. So for example, you must earn $1.20 in order to pay a $1.00 for the work. So if you do your own work. For each $1.00 you save it's $1.20 you don't have to earn to pay it. And in a way it adds to your actual income potential. So saving $1,000.00 in labor is equivalent to earning $1,200.00 more then you did that year. And so on. The expense would have cost you money no matter what your kind of work you did for an income. So your actually making 120% during the time your working on your own vehicle. Or whatever your tax rate may be. It's like getting a raise temporarily. But don't ever let the IRS know about this OR THEY MAY TRY TO FIND A WAY TO TAX ON FOR WORKING ON OUR OWN THINGS. I just remembered. The benefit and the raise is even better and higher than I've already explained. You can add the sales tax too. In my state that means an extra 4.5% in my old state it would be 8%. It's a nice raise and you know you can trust the guy that did the work, and you know it was a job well done and no corners cut. ENJOY

I worked in the Machining dept of Bendix Corp in St. Joseph Mi where this "Hydro-Boost" brake booster was conceived and manufactured in 1973. Spent a year setting up the Machining dial index machines to machine 3 units at a time. We were able to assemble and ship 5500 units per day. I asked at the time and never got a good answer why they named it the way they did. Seemed more appropriate to call it "Hydra-Boost" as Hydro means water. Engineers!

Can't believe how clear your videos are and you are great at placing the camera where we can see so well at the area you are working on. Gets us right in the action without the grease and dirt and body contortions that you as the mechanic have to deal with. Just gotta say though, I missed the brake fluid application opportunities during the rebuild. Despite what some say, I think the red truck is a great addition. Should send it to Robby Layton and co to overhaul and make it like new.

Nice to see a mechanic work on their own stuff. When I was a teen many years ago my engine worked on at a local garage. When I went to pick it up the mechanic was working on a Chrysler sedan and had valve covers off. I saw at least an inch of sludge on top of the heads. I made a comment to the mechanic "who is the idiot that never changed their oil?" Much to my dismay he said "that would be me". I learned a valuable lesson to think before you speak. Great Video!

@dannylinc6247 Год назад

While the trucks in the air, you can crank engine and turn the wheels if you have a way on yours to disable start up. That purges the hydra-boost and steering system from aeration bubbles and the tech fills the fluid while returning air to the reservoir. Saves time on a lot of rigs that we would purge and wait on to have the bubbles rise. We couldn't drive ours on city streets till we purged them. Dealership procedure. Safer for brakes, steering, etc and we moved trucks in groups to get one out and others in. You're lucky having the shop to yourself. You smudged the wife unit. Naughty boy.

My 1988 F- 2fitty, spent it's first 20 years as a ranch truck in Wyoming. The next ten hauling a hay trailer in the fields no services just add to it. I bought it with blown head gaskets rusted out freeze plugs. I put gaskets and plugs in timming chain flat bed new brakes all the way arround a few body panels from the salvage yard. Since it's a gaser 460ci big block ferd. Now it's hooked to a horse trailer hauling anything that will fit. It's over 2 million + miles of solid axel 4x4 big block goodness with r12 ac. We go rock crawling, horse back riding, camping, and drag cows and cowboys home when the new stuff won't start. -40c diesel is kinda useless. Always keep a gasser for emergency, and it is 10,000 lb fueled no trailer.

@christhornton3254 Год назад

At 32:38 the brake booster on the screen is actually a hydraulic Hydromax unit, not a vacuum assist booster. A Hydromax booster actually uses an on-vehicle hydraulic supply like the hydroboost. What Ray is pointing to is the redundant electric hydraulic pump that is bolted to the booster. It kicks in in the event the engine stalls and hydraulic pressure drops - it's a backup.

Fun fact: when General Motors introduced the "converted" 350 cu. in. diesel engines they had both hydro-boost AND vacuum systems. How did it have vacuum, you ask? GM engineers came up with a camshaft driven diaphragm type vacuum pump that was installed in the same hole where the distributor went. That vacuum system was used to operate the HVAC controls and cruise control servo while the hydro-boost was used to assist the brake system.

You are getting really good at this video editing thing. Really liked the scene where you were taking the driver side front wheel off, and you had narration, plus impact tool sound on top of a high speed video section. Really well done.

Never ceases to amaze me how much crap you have to work around to get to the parts you need to work on. You must have supreme patience.

Ray are you concerned about how much your truck deflects when you put it up on the 2p lift? Have you considered reinforcing the frame rails? Maybe hot rod style boxing the frame rail? It's just reminds me of the same kind of thing where some old rusty Nissan pickups folded up in the middle.

You need the WIFE UNIT to pick it up while you start the bolts on that gear box! Lol

Would this be the "Binford 6100" upgrade?

Lots of hard work on this one. The worst part was laying in the floor. That's harder on me anymore that most anything else. Glad you got so much done. Lauren is a sweet girl allowing you to put grease on her face. If I had done that to my wife, nobody would be writing about it today from my house. 🙂 Great video!
