1. Good resistance testing with the 2 ohm resistor faulty Pre tensioner @Rainman Ray's Repairs

2. The whole pretensioner catching the carpet on fire situation perfectly encapsulates the state the modern vehicle design. We'll make you so safe it's dangerous… Or it would be if you could afford to buy a new car 😂

3. But first! Stay tuned! This is gonna be a great! Do le do!

4. I was always understanding that you disconnect the battery and wait 30 minutes before pluging and unplugging air bags and pretensioners incase of bangs 😉

5. Ray, your ac explaining is opposite,

   Compressor pump refrigerant to condenser to be on lower temp than compressor then it went into Receiver Drier or Accumulator. After that the gas went into expansion valve to transfer liquid into gas, that how cooling coil/ evaporator being chill or cold, and return to compressor

   Faster the compressor, faster it became colder. High speed on blower make evap less efficient

6. Nice job Mr. R 🙂

7. Please, please,please…MOVE MY SEAT!!!! I can always move it back, it's not difficult. If it makes your job easier – MOVE THE SEAT!!!!
   (my reeeeee for the day) 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤘🍻

8. I'm thinking that one of the goals of the design/engineering teams is to ensure components work together without issue.

9. Have you ever heard this comment before?
   After watching this video, I had to go out and my seat belt light came on! Well, that's exactly what happen to me. I was dumbfounded that a video would explain such a thing. And I can't wait to see how you do part #2 of this video. If t truck owner brings it back for the seat belt repair.
   I have a 2008 f150 with a 4.7L and the seat belt does not retain or hold me back when the brakes are applied as if there was a sudden stop.
   I watch just about every video and find your knowledge of vehicles weather a car or truck exceptional. Keep up the good work, cause I enjoy watching someone else getting dirty.
   Always said if you don't get dirty your not doing it right!

10. Theses explosive charges, they use to be the starter for the old R200 and bigger Star engines from Pratt and Withney USA. . ; D

11. I never knew there were seatbelt pretensioners. Learned something new today. Have a great day.

12. i didn't know that i didn't know, thanks, I will be back

13. 5:00 – Ever seen the movie "Best Defense"? "THE WAM IS OVER HEATING, THE WAM IS OVER HEATING… WHAT IS A WAM?" Best quote of the movie.

14. where did you learn all of this, amazing…

15. I want to give you an A+ for you knowing the wiring systems

16. What if those mini explosives are directed in the wrong direction. Ejection seat?

17. Well said about the truck airbag fire. Nothing is fool-proof

18. Forget about not moving the seats. Shouldn't you disconnect the battery whenever you work on anything related to the airbag or other explosives?
    No, I'm not complaining, I'm just worried about your safety.

19. I’m amazed that I was able to tell this was an F159 by the thumbnail.
    I have the same truck so I’m very interested

20. I was waiting for you to test that tensioner with the ohm meter . . . Glad you knew better.

21. As an engineer – I do appreciate that you acknowledged that there are things that can't be anticipated in the field. All the time there are conditions we didn't consider because they are so absurd. Then they happen 3, 6, 19 times and you realize this is a problem – but it's hard to correct for.

22. she took it all, , , and you didn't even put any oil, , , !

23. You mentioned a recall and problem that GM had, but no one seems to ever mention a very deadly recall and problem Toyota had, when the Gas Pedals were sticking, even though over 90 people died and Toyota try to cover it up and hide there problem.
    Since we all know Toyota hates looking bad, but enjoys making others look bad.
    Lastly something a lot of people don't remember, Dodge had a very major issue with the redesigned Caravan in the 90s?? they failed to install a brake shift interlock, because of cost the 90s Ford Windstar's had them, but the early new body style Caravans did not.

24. I swear they design this on purpose just to milk people for more money. I left gaming consoles during the PS3 era when my PS2 has outlasted three PS3s. I don't own or want a smartphone either. Trashphone more like it. Desktop PC and older vehicles are the way if you want your purchases to last. And avoid the CCP style surveillance tech. My social credit score is -9000

25. We have a series of resistors wired up with pins for just this use.
    This is almost exactly how I go about diagnosing air bags and pretensioners.
    Just a little warning for those who are tempted to measure the resistance of the pretensioner or airbag with a meter.
    DON"T. Some meters have enough potential to set them off.
    I tried it so you don't have to, I should have recorded it.
    And believe it or not, it was not an analogue meter that set it off.
    It was a cheap digital one from a land with a red and yellow flag. 🙂

26. Throwing it out there because I haven't seen anybody mention it. FYI the audio on this one was real choppy. Lot's of loss throughout. I could understand just fine, but it wasn't what you normally have.

    But amazing content, as always! Keep it up Ray!!

27. Design engineers can/should perform Failure Modes, Effects, and Criticality Analysis (FMECA) on all safety components, systems, and end products, which could potentially prevent recalls such as the carpet fires.

28. Not related to the content but at 13:12 did anyone else notice Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen playing in the background?

29. It amazes me how many miles people drive! I bought an F150 new in 2007. I drove that truck for 10 or 11 years and it still had roughly 56,000 miles. It was a great truck for the first 10 years.and after that it started breaking faster than I could afford to fix it.

30. Airbags seatbelts are a class 9 hazmat when shipped to the dealers parts room.
    Car batteries are a class 8 shocks and struts are a class 2. I use to peddle car parts for Toyota.

31. Brilliant 🥂🥂

32. I don't know…… I had always heard that resistance is futile!

33. Was That Dodge/Chrysler K model on the lift at 7:22?
    I wonder when the last time one of those K-cars was last in that shop?

34. Not the seasonal proportioning valve that makes it blow warm in summer and cold in winter?

35. Imagine all the new surprises coming with there 80.000 dollar trucks

36. 5.4L 3V… possibly the most horrendous engine Ford ever made. So many numerous defects in design and quality. Worse even than their horrendous 6.0L powerstroke

37. “It’s not any one particular component” (referring to a recall)

    Takata has entered the chat

38. Wow, this was one boring video Ray. Quality over quantity!

39. Hey ray, just wondering what diagnostic tool you use too diagnose the problems in the vehicles. As I am interested in purchasing one just like it. I like watching your videos. I learn from watching your vid’s

40. Ray on your Fluke meter if you put the probes together on ohms and press the REL button the meter will measure the leads value, re zero the display and give you a accurate reading of whatever you next measure. If sort of nulls out the lead resistances. So you wont have to do the maths.

41. Your knowledge for testing is amazing your ability and experience is great if my car needs service I would want u to do the work .

42. You're a wizard Ray! Excellent execution of diagnostic capabilities! I highly approve.

43. your work partners seem to be a bunch of wankers playing music that loud when your doing your content your the absolute best ray

44. Great Video as always Ray. just wanted to let you know that I watched this yesterday and gave it a thumbs up, and today (28th) discovered that my "Like" was un-clicked. Maybe You Tube playing games or it was on my end. Just wanted to give you a heads up about it.

45. Another pointless video from Floridas own pseudo-intellectual one armed mechanic…

46. i always threw the "dont touch a seat settings" rule out, cuz if i cannot reach your pedals while im test driving your car i'm gonna move your seat. i'll definitely move it back close to where its at, but ive serviced some cars that were driving by some short people, or tall people.

47. Still a design flaw – system design
