After watching the old Camaro video, I noticed how much happier you sound nowadays with your own shop. WOW! I remember watching your videos while you were at that other shop and even at the dealership. Since you opened up your own shop, your overall mood and attitude in your videos has been so much happier, even on your “bad” days you still project more joy in your work than was evidenced in those older videos. That is so awesome! Thanks, Ray, for sharing your work and life with us strangers on the internet.

@69Ford429 Месяц назад

I'm only 5 mins in so far, and the moment he turned the "A/C" on at the beginning, I immediately seen the temp know to the right towards warm. I'm hoping later in the video he later realizes the mistake. However, my first thought is that the blend door is busted. It's a notorious issue with the 5th gen. Happens from people keeping their temp knob maxed out to the left or right.

Side note, not sure if you remember me complaining about my Corolla AC and how I replaced every part and cannot get it to work as pressure dropped but no leak. Found out the high pressure line I replaced was defective. They did not drill the hole from the high pressure sensor hole to the port leading to the receiver dryer. Replaced it and now the AC is at 42.

Preston just recently replaced cam position uniit on my Ford 98 ranger 4.0 with 208 K. Could not get to it ( rear of engine no clearance) due to my age pushing 70. Wife bought Ranger in1999. Always did my own repairs and maintenance. Brakes, waterpump, pulgs, wires, tires, and other but time has caught up with myself. Thank you for your great video's.

I know the feeling. I still do my own maintenance, (thanks to having a lift), but I can feel it’s probably not going to be much longer. I’ve been retired 4 years. I bought a Ranger new in 99. I wished I had kept it. Added that my friend’s son lives in Myrtle Beach. I’ll pass the name of the garage on to him.

Agree, but a hanging sign above the door perpendicular to the door so you see it as you look into the bays. Maybe even get a fancy one with an arrow. Then another sign by the bay doors that states - "No customers allowed/Mechanic's only" or something to that effect, for liability purposes. One could even paint the door another color so it stands out.

for future info always look at the hi side valve first if it has that black center piece in it when you hook your hi side to it just to check pressure 9 out ten times it will leak when you remove your coupler so i always tell the customer before i check the system this will occur and if it wasnt leaking it probably will and then you will have to go threw that evac and recharge with a valve change. i go back with a dorman 800-955, dorman does come thru once in awhile

My Nissan Primera had a steering leak like that at 4 years old. Nissan quoted £1200 + £800 labor to replace. I got it fixed at a PS specialist reconditioning outfit for £600 all up - and they added a second o-ring on the input shaft to deal with the known leaking issue those PS units had. It was still solid 16 years later when the car was scrapped

@rodgerpetrick6502 Месяц назад

I have an 07 Tacoma, it's finally demanding some well deserved parts 2 years ago A/C Compressor ( shop screwed up the install) , cat back exhaust because of Michigan road cancer ( shop screwed up the install ) , and last year a rack and pinion, it was crazy expensive, got a new Toyota unit for $1038.00, the rebuilt option was $858.00 and the off brand $798.00, I figured for only $200+ difference I might as well go with the New Toyota unit, I felt the rebuilt and off-brand should've been a couple hundred cheaper and I would've made my decision between them. Of course I went with a different shop and they did a great job and fixed the A/C compressor ( one of the lines was crossthreaded and ripped the O-Ring but they didn't tighten it up enough to ruin the threads so an O-Ring and proper screwing ( I guess thats what I got from the first shop ) got it fixed, the second shop didn't charge me for fixing the A/C issue. I also had the second shop finish the tierods and they had to special order a steering hose. I paid about $800 for all the work the second shop did and they also did some other minor stuff such oil change, fluid check, check the U-Joints, brakes etc. At least I found a good shop, it took 3 weeks to get all the parts in.

Watching those HVACR videos, I often see that the condenser coils get plugged with CA desert sand. (I also remember my grandfather teaching me to hose off the condenser at home every spring.)
