  1. I always hated wranglers. Guys wire so much stuff on them. Sometimes they put lights in the hood and you can't even get it open to change the battery. Or there were so many extra wires hooked on the battery that there was no way to pull it out. And they all seem to have a corrosion problem on the positive cable end.

  2. First note: running your tank that low is a VERY bad thing – never below 1/4 folks. Makes life much better and cheaper long term
    MY gut dropped when you pulled the throttle open lol I have a car that ANY manual messin with either throttle body is a whole new throttle relearn process lol
    That wiring mess… just… smh dang monkeys…
    No, no anti seize on spark plugs. just nope. If they seize, you got bigger probs way before then.
    Wanna worry about difficult plugs? compare to 300Z or 93 Lumina LMAO

  3. My escape is pulling that code right now. It started as coming and going now it’s constant. The car isn’t worth repairs so just letting it ride till it dies.

  4. I've seen thinner cable runs when doing labor work for a concert stage production company!
    Is it just me, or does it seem like every time Ray attempts the "back up horn beeps for safety", the horn doesn't work? I wonder if he mentions this on the service write-up as I have yet to see him fix a horn in a video : )
    Thanks for the videos Ray

  5. My alternator tensioner arm broke its frame bolt. Unfortunately the bolt threads are still stuck in the bolt hole. I removed the tensioner for safekeeping, and my alternator belt is now being kept under tension by a ratchet strap attached to the right front body panel until I can get it to a mechanic. What would you say if THAT rolled in?

  6. Just want to say thank you, this last weekend my 2018 Ram 1500 was parked nose deep into a spot that didn’t allow to be jumped off, and of course no one had a jump box. Because of you I knew about the manual transmission override and I was able to coast down the hill and get on my way. Thank you for the knowledge.

  7. Raises way more questions than answers. These are tapered plugs in an aluminum head right? Loose for fear of stripping out the head. Anti sneeze hand tight and one eighth torque. Iridium plugs like cop cars never have to change them again.

  8. Enjoy your running commentary, making even the most mundane tasks sound interesting.
    One thing I learned during my over 35 years wrenching was when replacing HT ignition wires it is much easier to tie the coil wire end of the old wire to the plug side of the new one, and gently pull / guide the wire through the labyrinthine path to the plug. Sometimes it's the only way to get it through!
    Keep up the good work!

  9. Ray, nice job. There is a tool that works like the old "Chinese finger". Which allows you to attach the new wire to the old wire, and pull in the new wire to save trouble threading the new wire. It was not bad on this job from what I could see, but it may save some time on some more difficult engines.

  10. back in my day I would never use power tools to remove spark plugs, and i still wont today ,especially with aluminum heads, if the threads feel funny I use P_B and let the threads soak, but on the other hand I quit working in shops 40 years ago.

  11. Omg a 3.8 that made it to 200k,. Must have the updated pcv system and That owner must drive on flat ground and change oil regularly… They don't last that long in the mountains around here.. Tried to find a used motor for one about a year ago..(Uncle Rodney).. Took a while,. Had to get one out of LA and pay the shipping…

  12. If you’ve got a doozy of a spark plug run if the spark plug boot is straight you can usually tape it onto the old existing spark plug pull it through to where it’s easy to grab which will make your job easier
