It's a lot easier to destroy than to create😜 Nice to see there are still good people left in this world. Thank you Eric and Ray for everything you have done for a family in need👍👍👍👍
@@stevenichols4639 I reckon Eric bought all the screws they had in the hardware shop to box that up. I agree with your comment. I can see Eric laughing about watching Ray undo the 664,000,000 screws.
@RainmanRaysRepairs It was quite smart of Eric to put a roof on that engine crate, it prevented having other items being stacked on top of it and further protecting the refreshed engine.
I was actually about to say the same thing. It looks pretty solidly built, but the unlevel top makes it so no one will stack on top of it. Im sure the dock guys were not too happy about it though lol
This was the engine crate every car engineer has dreamed of! The only thong missing were some shingles on the top! I bet Eric has watched this three times already... and enjoyed every minute! Using a single Phillips screw was hilarious!
Well what did you expect a guy from MO. give Ray just an engine, he sends enough screws to build a fort. Hurricane preparation! Way to go Eric and Ray! You guys ROCK!
Send respects to the guy who redid the engine. It almost looks like it’s brand spanking new. I’m very proud to see love one into it and respect for others.
OK Eric, please share. Did you fall off your chair because you laughed so much with Ray unscrewing himself? 🤷♂️ Absolutely loved the instructions. Bloody brilliant and so funny. 🥳🥳 I now have to come and watch your Channel. 👍
A mix of head types. Flathead, Phillips, Allen, Torx, hex head, square drive. Rainman might not even have a square drive bit. And flatheads are annoying to use with power.
I watched Eric assemble that Pentastar but he didn't record the boxing of it. I wonder how much he was laughing thinking about you unboxing it. It surely was going to make a safe trip. Looking forward to the installation of the engine. Thanks for the Lauren/WifeUnit cameo. She looks good in that Camaro. 😊
Ray,........ it is awesome that you and Eric teamed up to rebuild a van for a needy family. Keep up the great work and God bless you and your team and Eric for doing this. Sometimes all it takes is 1 good gesture to make a difference,..... just 1.
Yep!!! We used to get pallets with the cardboard pyramids on top that said No Double Stacking.....and they were Always smashed flat! This would solve that problem(:
We have a 2013 Dodge Grand Caravan, same part failed on us but luckily we noticed and were able to pull over and park it until we could get the part needed. Love to see you helping people in need, Ray!!!
And THAT, boys and girls, is why you never leave your forks raised! I dunno just what you are going to do to Eric for all those screws, but please record and post it. He deserves it! 😂😂😂
You and Eric are the most gracious guys. I had a service station for 35 years, and most of the public does not appreciate / understand how much of our own hard made money went to help those in need. Gog bless you and Eric and your families. Cannot wait to see when you give it back. That will be a tear jerker.
Ray, you do realize, that your man card dictates that you must return the unboxing favor “7 fold” unto Eric. Shots were fired, you must answer the call. 😂
@@russellstyles5381 Indeed a few clutch-head ones and some of those with a slightly oval security socket which otherwise just looks like a round hole unless you've got the real bit for them.
Perfect. Repackage the blown engine in the crate and send it back to Eric for him to do the teardown. And YES, plus a bunch of extra tamperproof/security screws to make his unboxing tougher than yours. Payback, giving his fans a laugh too.
@@russellstyles5381 Ooh! Like the fasteners they use to assemble public bathroom stalls. To tighten, you use a flat-head screwdriver, but the loosen direction is just a gradual ramp on the fastener head. Ingenious for the application, evil for other uses.
@@MonkeyJedi99 You can get special bits for most, but far as I know, that one is unremoveable. Like ring shank deck nails. You remove them with a saw or grinder.
I can actually say the dude that crated that engine up actually out did every Chinese crate job I ever seen in my day... Good work dude somewhere in the world a Best Crate Job Award exists. I just don't know where,
That's a lot of work for a guy to take on just to get himself a free box of Philips screws. Kudo's to Eric and Ray for stepping up and helping a family out
I have been waiting for this video for a looong time... Thank you Ray, Eric, Dave, Wife Unit and Justin for donating your time & knowledge... May tons of blessings come your way!
The slanted top of the box was to insure, at about an 85% chance, that they wouldn’t stack something on top of the box. The other part was a sense of humor, two boxes of screws, and no shortage of random pieces of wood. Made for a great video for all to see.
A tip for anyone who has to pick up lots of screws. Put a large speaker magnet into a plastic container. In my case an empty cake frosting container. The screws stick to the outside of plastic and fall into where you want to keep/dispose of them by removing the magnet.
Love an engine unboxing, pull, and install. Looks like the van has had a fuel pump relay bypass install. Common issue for a TIPM in which the internal fuel pump relay fails. Chrysler has a kit they use on Jeeps for this same issue, but since the TIPM is common across most models, the external relay fix is used for the other models as well as it is much cheaper than a TIPM replacement.
I would agree with the TIPM. I've repaired mine and for a couple of friends for about $10 in relays with shipping and a lot of experience in electronics repair. The relay kit is easy and cheap, albeit kind of janky. But, it works fine, especially when the cost of a TPIM is more than the value of the older vehicles.
Ray, unscrew from pallet, means unscrew the upper box from the "pallet" you know the thing the engine is set on. Unscrew the bottom of the box from the pallet and lift the box off of the engine. The engine and pallet will then be left on the floor and all that top stuff will still be screwed together and complete in a box form.
Good to see there is still humour over the pond. My only gripe is that with all those tyres (tires) around I would take more care in gathering up all those screws. (Unless you also have a thing with fixing flats. ) Great smile on a dull August day. One of the best.
Yep! When Eric crated that engine, he got you 12 ways from Sunday! I was kinda disappointed when you was pulling those screws. I told my wife "Did he just get about $60-worth of star-drive stainless deck screws?" But you didn't, because the magnet got all of 'em. Looks like you got some nice 4-inch. C'mon, Ray, give us that engine swap start-to-finish. This is a very special job.
and you are doing all that work for free you deserve a medal I just wish i could give you one for helping out people , thank you very much for this video
That fuel pump relay is probably there because the one on the TIPM is fried. Super common failure on these cars, but a fairly easy repair for someone with soldering experience. I made that same repair on my wife's 2012 T&C last year.
Ray, I don't know if you've ever watched Eric O. on South Main Auto, but you and he are made from the same mold. You are both true and good men. Keep up the good work and may the Lord bless you and yours. Thanks for all the great content, sir.
Eric simply turned Ray's unbox into a freak show and an endless trail of screws. 😂 I wonder how long it took Eric to put those screws in the box plus all the secret screws that Ray got stuck in. 😂
This is what working on aircraft is like a screw every 10mm to undo and put back afterwards, better not snap or damage the last one you are putting back.
My first thought seeing that sloped top was he did that so no one would stack on top. In the late 80's I worked on a secure military program and our PC security was instead of have four screws holding the case on it had about a hundred, with the idea that if you snuck in under the cover of darkness it would take you hours to get in the box (before electric screwdrivers)
We have a 2013 town and country with the 3.6. We have had to replace the heater hose tee and the oil cooler housing but caught both in a early leak stage.
about few weeks ago I fixed one of those vans with bad headgasket doing same thing had heads machined and put it back together runs great customer was happy
I like Eric. He seems like good people. Edit: Now that I realize who Eric is from his post on here, this doesn't surprise me at all. He still seems like good people.
Eric did a fantastic job creating the engine. He did not want it to get damaged. Been waiting to see this engine to see it reinstalled and the first start up. Eric is a awesome gentleman for donating the engine. Ray is also a great gentleman for all the work he is doing on the van and giving back to the people.
You might have figured it out by now, or someone mentioned it, but that generation of Chrysler’s had issues with the non serviceable fuel pump relay built into the TIPM, TSB was to fix it this way rather than replace the TIPM. I believe Eric O has a video where he does this.
I had to smile about the fasteners - the last large item I shipped out had 5 or 6 different head style fasteners on it, and the placement was random enough that you had to search to find all the same ones when it came time to remove them. We also used construction adhesive on all the boards in addition to screwing them, so you had that to deal with as well.
The fuel pump relay is added because the TIPM on those vans has non replaceable relays, which go bad. (ask me how I know) so the fix is to install an external fuel pump relay. Chrysler should have recalled it, just like the oil cooler, but they didn't.
