Thanks to Jesse for making the intro and graphic for us to enjoy!!
Ray I noticed you don't use too much lubricant when you install parts is that okay
Ray, why don't use use an Air Lift to refill the cooling system?
Now when it comes down to the gaskets for 3.8 l V6 or any other V6 or 4-cylinder or V8 engines get Fel-Pro gaskets
Can I ask a stupid question? Why do your sockets wobble?
@3:25. ðŸ‘🻠Share the same thinking. Recheck/torque bolts a couple times after sealants get a chance to set/ooze out. This does add ever so slightly a thickness that might need a torque recheck?
Good work ðŸ‘ðŸ»
i would love to support u guys by buying som merch, but i cant figur out if you do international shipping to my country (Denmark) ? 🙂
I like that, go enjoy some no kid time, what a good dad/husband. Mom needs some away time too.
These premium gaskets are what I used to do my heads & intake on my 97 vorteec 350. Since the person before me failed twice by using the cheaper set. I also got rid of all dex-cool and am now running green anti-freeze with no problem.
I work at a Hyundai dealership in Denmark servicing technicians with parts. I’ve learned a lot about how difficult a job as a technician can be and getting to follow along is very interesting. I just wanna say you seem like the kinda guy the higher up’s everywhere should hire more of and I have enjoyed seeing your shop grow.
I learned my lesson first hand buying cheap parts by doing my brakes and wheel bearing 3 months after installing them they still had their fabulous 1 year warranty I got ac Delco parts and sold the truck 2 years later and the brakes were fine still along with the wheel bearings
I throw the blue end seals in the garbage and use rtv it never leaks those gaskets and rtv will push the gaskets right out
Good job! ðŸ‘
I just got a 02 lesabre for 400 bucks with 130k miles from my wifes Grandma to use as a commuter car. It's pretty clean. Looks pretty easy to work on. Thank God. But it purs like a kitten I only had to replace a window regulator. And it's been well maintained. Gonna drive her till she dies.
I would have replaced that upper intake manifold and installed the updated EGR pipe. Yours is melted where the pipe goes into the intake. It causes coolant leaks from the throttle body passages into the EGR pipe, which can end up hydro-locking the engine.
You don't need a water pump or intake gaskets that don't leak, come on Ray. Look into cuda parts cleaner,steam and light detergent washer, they're pretty reasonable in price.
Them plastic intake gaskets were a major issue with the 3100 and 3400 engines also. I've changed MANY of those lol
Damn man your data must be compromised or you're on sketchy apps getting those free movies n tv shows or something lol
To be getting all those scam calls n shit
when doing a coolant change, you're supposed to remove the radiator cap and squeeze the hose after sucking out all the old coolant and then replacing the coolant. you need a speed max coolant machine, and an evac max oil evac machine.. you can do a coolant exchange in ~15 minutes or less.
We all know that Lauren is the real manager. The rest of you are just her minions 😂
