These videos are meant to be educational but also funny, so if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask!
0:00 Intro
0:05 The customer got new front brake calipers, rotors, pads, hoses (which were burnt), and a brake fluid flush. This can also happen if your brake caliper or a slide pin is seized and you keep on driving.
0:18 The technician said he refused to do any work on this Mustang since he doesn't want to be accountable if anything happens to the shoddy welding work on the rear control arm mount.
0:38 That's a very worn-out front wheel bearing on a Ford F-150. You can definitely hear when a wheel bearing starts going bad (humming/cyclic chirping, squealing, and/or growling noise). So the customer must have ignored the noise for quite some time.
0:48 Look's to be a garage door opener that the customer left in the sunglasses holder and it kept making noise. Easy fix for the technician.
1:02 The mounts that hold the power steering rack in place are worn from the looks of it. Will need to get a new power steering rack (most likely) and an alignment. With the power steering rack being loose you will most likely feel the steering wheel jerking out of your hands when trying to drive.
1:12 Look's like the customer installed a new front strut, but didn't tighten the bolt tight enough that holds the steering knuckle to the strut. So when the customer hit a pothole, it caused the strut to move lower and rub itself through the sidewall of the tire. The customer will definitely need a new tire!
1:25 Great way to make sure you're not leaking oil on the ground. I would personally just fix the rear main seal but it's a temporary "fix". You need to remove the transmission to replace the rear main seal and if you pay a mechanic to do it, it'll be a somewhat expensive job.
1:40 The technician said he's only seen this once (works at GM) and GM fixed the issue pretty quickly. It was an issue with the manufacturer who makes the valve springs. When the valve spring broke, the valve dropped and destroyed the cylinder wall on cylinder 8. That's why you see the mix of coolant and engine oil coming out of the oil pan.
1:55 The technician said the customer ended up getting a used engine as they drove with a bad head gasket for a while and warped the engine block.
2:07 No extra info.
2:25 Technician said: "2008 Grand Caravan - I was soldering a new OBDII connector and noticed an unusual smell in the footwell. I looked under the seat and this was sitting under the seat, about 2" from where my head was (it's a portable urinal)"
2:33 The technician said it looked like the vehicle was in a front-end collision and whoever "repaired" it did quite the shoddy work. The strut mount was also damaged pretty bad and not fixed correctly.
2:54 As mentioned, the nut for the upper-ball joint loosened off while the technician was driving. No extra info.
3:04 A beautiful 1964 Mercury Comet.
3:14 Outro. Thanks for watching! - Auta a dopravní prostředky

First!
Who cares :)
Cool Comet! She looks like a ripper 👍
That's the most optimistic way of saying Thursday I've ever seen, and I approve of it.
What did he weld cars ready for the scrapyard are you kidding me !
Before anyone says pouring water will warp your rotors, its better than your car catching fire lol xD
Yup, those brakes are done anyway and should be replaced.
@@annehaight9963 1000% right
Tea time or the sauna bath is ready
Rotors and calipers are trashed, for sure, regardless of whether you poured water on them or not! Yikes, someone needs to learn how to drive.
You don't regulate your speed with your brakes!😬
Unless they’re $20,000 carbon ceramic racing rotors, any rotors that are glowing red are toast.
Customer states: “I hear a thunk when I make a left turn, and again when I make a right turn, but if I make two left or right turns in a row, no thunk. Oh, it also does it when I stop or accelerate.”
Technician states: “Noise confirmed during test drive. Remove bowling ball from trunk.”
One winter I was mystified by a new clunk from my van, before realizing I'd left a water bottle back there and it had frozen solid.
once there was this mercedes c-class with a clunk. I searched the suspension, found out loose nuts on the front struts' top, but that didn't solve the clunk... turned out to be the trailer's socket adaptor rolling around underneath the driver seat. placing it somewhere else solved the problem.
I had this once at the Haley dealer. It was a large Ultra Classic. Guy had that complaint and I rode it it was terrible. Opened the tour pack and there was a bowling ball rolling around the thing. A MOTORCYCLE.
@@davidhill850 LOL, someone came late for bowling and forgot their ball somewhere... but yeah, sometimes you wonder what happened at the maker's. like the day I found a piece of rubberfoam in the air ventilator's rotor making noise, in a 6months old Opel Vectra. good thing the ventilator was easily accessible. some cars you have to take everythign apart starting with the rear bumper... and it's not always newer cars, either.
the worst was something I heard of; some worker at Opel's was pissed off extremely at something and probably was canned, too, so they take a dump on one of the door cards before clipping it on... I don't envy the people at the dealership.
@@lotharrenz4621 You're not wrong about blower fans. I had to replace one on a Volvo 240 once and I swear they started with that thing and assembled the rest of the car around it.
0:48 I do love these, where the problem is nothing to do with the car, but what the user has..
Like things in glovebox or in cubbyholes.
My favorite is always the "Indicator keeps turning off" and it's their hand sanitizer dangling.
That clip is a classic lol
my favorite ones are the ones with obvious causes, like bringing a car in because the AC isn’t working bc they didn’t turn the fan itself on or complaining that they can’t get a good grip on the steering wheel after putting on a fluffy pink steering wheel cover. but anything involving something bejeweled or fluffy is a genre of its own
@@misseselise3864 I also do like the "AC runs hot", so they turn the temp down, FIXED..
I remember back when computers monitors were young and super expensive someone was throwing out a very big 19" CRT (that was massive for the day) .. they said they got a new one on insurance, but if I wanted to have a crack at fixing it, I could..
Got my screwdrivers and soft table mats out... Plugged it in, nothing on screen, (expected), power button, nothing on screen (oh) but it did sound like power was energising something (at least something is working), pressed brightness +.... THERE WE GO...
Perfectly good. I laughed..
Back in the 50s, a VW Beetle owner complained to the dealer about crappy mileage when the ads claimed great mileage. The mechanics checked out everything on the car that could cause the high consumption. They found nothing. Finally, one of the mechanics thought it might be the owner's driving style, so he requested to go along for a ride to observe. The woman got in the car then immediately pulled out the choke rod and hung her purse on it. She then commented how nice it was that VW provide a place to hang her purse.
Remember, people like that vote, and their vote counts as much as yours. 🤦♂️
That new Explorer with the loose nut reminded me of a story. Folks in central Connecticut will remember a Pontiac dealer in the '60s and '70s in Naugatuck who didn't sell a new car until he had his technicians go through virtually every nut and bolt. People who bought cars from him always reported they never had a problem with any new car they bought from the dealer.
Sounds like you might be of age to remember a fairly large dealer scandal in Southeast CT around that era. Pat's Used Tires, known for odometer rollbacks, VIN swapping, and a "State Police Only" recap tire tread that failed during a pursuit, killing a trooper. Thanks to that death, Mr. Pat Craco, and his shops, Connecticut banned recap tires. He HAD six shops, all modeled after the original in Clinton, which was the only one he managed to keep after all the legal fees and lawsuits...
I ended up working for the shyster around 2005, he was paying me a whopping $3.66/hr (when the paychecks didn't bounce) as Assistant Mechanic, Auto Detailer, Car Wash Supervisor, Sales Writer, and Building Maintenance (as well as mowing the lawn at his home in Madison). Let us not forget the occasional errand to pick up a bottle of blackberry brandy. We were evicted from the property TWICE, had our power shut off THRICE, and actually had to take fresh oil and put it in our used oil burner for winter heat because the old man wouldn't get fuel oil for the shop... Or the car wash next door... But he always had heat in the office. The Lead Mechanic blew a hole in his shoe one day by grabbing one of the drop lights suspended from the ceiling, causing him to drop to the floor and trigger a Grand Mal seizure from the electric shock, and it took three weeks to get the old man to cough up a few bucks to have me repair bare wiring. Every time it rained we didn't just have leaks, we had WATERFALLS. We couldn't even get new light bulbs for our stockrooms unless we bought them ourselves... Once in a while, we were allowed a lunch break - but only when HE brought lunch in, sometimes the bread was moldy, sometimes the lunchmeat was moldy.
Lead Mechanic (personal friend of mine) and I tried to turn the place around, with honesty, fair billing, and customer service better than the large dealerships around us, but it's hard to recover from 40+ years of a piss-poor reputation and a habit of selling clunkers that cost us $50 (our price for vehicles donated to American Kidney Foundation and sold by Adesa) for $3,200, Buy Here, Cry Here.
Going through the books I found that 99% of our sold cars were in delinquent status for five years or more (only three customers were actually paying, one was on his 7th year as we allowed everyone to add repairs to their loan balance, his '87 Jetta with 408k miles, the FOURTH customer the dealership sold this car to, ate transmissions as all Jettas of that age did and we were installing junkyard trannies at least once a year)! I tried to "write off" so many loans behind the owner's back and send these poor souls their titles, but found most of the customers had already scrapped the cars they bought long ago when they broke down.
I kept trying to tell the old man we couldn't sell 1980s Caprices and Cutlass Supremes with V8s when gas prices spiked over $4/gallon under Obama, and he told me I had no idea what I was talking about. Well, I didn't mind driving those babies around town on shop errands, and once in a while drove one home for the night because they're all wonderful highway cruisers, but we sure as heck weren't going to sell them for $3,200 when you could buy them in the classifieds for $700-800.
Of course, Pat finally folded, as expected. I was long gone by then. The lawyer who loaned Pat money for operational expenses took the property in lieu of repayment, the shop's under new ownership, and they seem to be doing well. I hope they ended up putting money into the building, because it's got a lot of space and it has "good bones."
@@dashcamandy2242 criminey! makes one wonder how they could be in any business at all over that many years...
a former boss of mine is one of these, except he's not as shady. he just makes many mistakes he ought to know better not to.
for example, german laws require any crafters's shop to stick to the estimate given plus a max of 20% extra. my boss would easily exceed that WITHOUT telling the customer here and there(and invite them in, look at the misery, and sign the new estimate off, which is also required by law to make things safe for everyone). "I know them", he'd say, "They'll pay the bill, they trust us." (what if the customer doesn't have the funds ready? he never thought about that it seems) there have been times when he had to erase work hours and parts price tags because apparently, the customer wasn't as rich as he thought... here and there he got fucked over, too, because if the estimate is exceeded and no sign-off and no notes were exchanged, the customer isn't required to pay the bill at all. our laws see it as a break-of-contract... and some large sums had to be written off.
he also has a nasty tendency to start a project and never finish it off. being annoyed by laws and bureaucracy is also understandable (and the Maker knows germany has more laws than any other country together), but seriously? it's his doggam business! sit down and write that bill already, and stop sending out renminders for bills that haven't been written yet...
I tried my best, but he also took up the habit of letting things out on me. I got really mobbed at times, even before customers, and should have quit long ago... instead he canned me after 3 1/2 years.
I wonder who's he gonna mob now? one co-worker will break like a twig, the other just doesn't give a damn... because both can find something again right away.
two years now, and I'm still not over it. yay me.
@@dashcamandy2242 This "Pat" guy sounds like Unrepentant Ebenezer Scrooge on Steroids.
I love when you put nice vehicles at the end of your videos. It helps the brain forget the monstrosities seen before.
That Mercury Comet is a beauty.
Lol, I was literally having a panic attack the end. Like "no! Not the comet....noooo!"
As I’m from the UK I don’t know these classic American cars as well as I should but that last one was just heartbreakingly lovely.
@@johnedwards1685 you should look up ring brothers AMC Javelin (if you haven't seen it ever).
@@myexescallmetictac8297
Sir, thank you very much.
That car looks like a pale green tyrannosaur!
The ending eye candy is nice, but you can never "unsee" the automotive abominations that precedes it 😉
That first car reminds me something that happened when I was a truck driver. The small company that I drove for hired on a new driver that got his license through a fly-by-night truck school. The new guy was so unskilled he set the trailer on fire during his first run, and he did so by driving about 40 miles down the interstate with the trailer brakes engages. The brake drums were glowing cherry red by the time he stopped, and he only did that because the tires were started exploding.
The only other time I saw a red glow like that coming from a car, was when my sister came home complaining her car had a significant loss of power.
A couple of the spark plug wires had been disconnected, but the engine was still running.... Sorta.
Top speed was about 30 mph, But she made it home.
When she pulled in I could see the glow from the exhaust system underneath the car, as some of the cylinders were dumping straight uncombusted fuel into it.
I seen brakes glowing from the legendary PORSCHE 917 CAN AM racer. In the dark, 4 glowing rotors and the fan mid section where the engine was also glowed red....probably the twin turbos or the engine itself.
While I'm sure that school had issues, should any training school really have to tell you to disengage brakes before driving your truck anywhere?
I'm more worried that it didn't just eat up the tires, most times I have had one or more wheels lock up on my trailer the truck would still drag just fine almost to the point where you wouldn't notice (one time I didn't to my everlasting shame and the death of a pair of tires)
I'm gonna guess that the breaks weren't properly adjusted in that example if the wheels were turning.
(Extra, in the right cold conditions the drums on trucks will freeze after being parked if any moisture is in them, the way to fix it is to crawl under the thing and start banging on the drum, preferably with the breaks released)
I had my brakes that hot one time also. I was heading down off of Monarch pass RT 50 in Colorado with a truck without any Engine Brakes on it. Had a load of top iced sweet corn on that was dripping from the vent tubes of the trailer and I had rigged them to drain onto the drums. Even so I had steam coming off the drums by the time I got to the bottom of that sucker.
I like the techs little "oh" when the flange falls right out and the bearing falls apart. It's like oh this again.
It's like it was worse than he was expecting. Even on THOSE standards.
I suspect there was another word following the "oh" which was kindly edited out. Each viewer imagine on their own what expletive might have been employed.
@@ElmerCat😂 you're very right there was another word
You fix it free. It was perfect this morning!
At least the guy is environmentally conscious with the oil catch can 🤔😂
Until the dangling can hits a bump and then it’s go go gadget oil slick.
Best part is he can empty that back into the engine every week lol!
@@watvannou reuse the oil. Save money.
Everybody promise not to repeat this story: In the 1960s a certain airline was operating airplanes with radial, piston engines, but at the same time converting the fleet one airplane at a time by replacing the radials with turboprop engines. The very last airplane to be converted had piston engines so worn out and raggedy that for a time it was basically parked and used to fly passengers only when another airplane had problems. Everybody knew that this airplane's cabin supercharger drive seal was shot, but nobody wanted to replace it when the whole thing was soon to be removed for the conversion. Since the supercharger oil supply was slowly leaking out through a drain tube, the fix was to hang a bucket below the drain and leave it there, hanging below the engine nacelle. If the airplane was needed for a flight, the oil in the bucket was filtered and poured back into the tank, or the excess supply of supercharger oil in the stock room could be reduced by using new. As a bonus for maintenance personnel, pilots taxiing a turboprop past the old airplane, sitting forlorn and bucketed, were discouraged from reporting minor problems on their airplane for fear of having it taken away and replaced with the leaky old airplane, tail number 854.
@@Hopeless_and_Forlorn Oh don't worry, we're not gonna make our radials live such a hard life, I promise!
The surprised "Oh" at 0:44 had me dying laughing when that wheel hub fell off.
Also, I've set brakes on fire, but I've never had the rotors glowing before, growing up in the hills of Southwestern VA, in and around the Blue Ridge Mountains, and cannonballing in cars like my 1977 Oldsmobile Delta 88 which weren't design for such things over roads like Windy Gap (It's a googleable place, also it's "Windy" as in "Gee, it sure is windy out today", but people refer to it as the other meaning, as in twisty turny windy road, because really, it's both)
Dang people take really cool pictures on that road. If I'm ever in the area (unlikely) I'll have to drive through it.
@@kadengordon6941 Just a heads up, nine times out of ten you get stuck behind people riding their brakes the whooooole way down. I mean seriously, there are alternative routes, and even the locals who live out there get pissed about it.
@@DeadReckon That's just like driving up to Pike's Peak. You try to let the traffic get out in front of you, but you get maybe one good hairpin at speed before someone who stopped to take pictures pulls out in front of you and you're back to 15 mph again. It's like none of these people have ever watched the hill climb videos. I don't mind them driving slow on the first part, but once you get to that picnic area, c'mon man.
After driving in the area (and doing the Dragon) I couldn't understand why NAPCAR's went in circles when the whole thing was started by bootleggers driving those AWESOME roads.
@@DeadReckon That's what I was thinking
2:16 "Did some damage to the engine." You win the Understatement of the Year award, my friend! lol

I love the nice cars at the end to balance things out
Thanks JRI! My car has 4 wheel disc brakes, so now I have a great idea for front and back cherry red underglow lighting! I owe this inspiration all to you!

@@beezertwelvewashingbeard8703 🤣
@@kevinperron5767 nice, good friction modifier. sucks you have to get out every time you brake and respray them
That brand new Ford is a lesson I learned some years back about new equipment: run it for a bit and then check all the nuts and bolts. Occasionally you may find an important component is loose and it's similar to re-torquing your wheels.
Too much pot smoking on the assembly lines

Fords are junkkkk
Maybe this will start a trend of having to get a mechanic to inspect your car before you buy. For a new car! 😆
@@billolsen4360 Nope just standard American build quality 🤣

As a classic car enthusiast, i nearly wet my pants seeing that 1964 comet at the end.
It was a crap car then. Don't wet yourself just because it is old.
@@justayoutuber1906 might have been crap but it has aged like fine wine. It's lines are gorgeous, the interior color is beautiful, the chrome details are amazing. It's a beautiful old rattler and i love it, just like i love my own crappy car.
I work parts at a GM dealership, and I can confirm the valve springs and/or lifters are a huge issue. It's very common on any 5.3L or 6.2L engine for catastrophic engine damage to happen with low mileage.
It's happening to a lot of engines apparently - the smaller ecoboost engines like the 2.7 and the older 5.4 triton have cam phaser and other top end issues, I didn't know chevy was having a rough spot as well
I have my 2016 Silverado in full time 8 cyl with a module in the rectum port
@@masimaninlv im sorry but i read that as your trucks engine has an enima?
@Account NumberEight LOL, you notice how they don't mention that slogan any longer
Hey master mechanics, shade tree mechanic here. Why would the engine get coolant in the oil, I think that’s what I saw in the video, from a broken valve spring? I guess I don’t understand engines as well as I thought. Let me know!!!
That Mercury Comet looks like it would be a SICK cruiser.
0:45 A SMALL vibration? How was that even still on the truck 😳
Right? They're lucky they made it to the shop lol
Believe and they shall come....
I assume the wear made a groove such that it held it in place while there was load on that wheel. Can't think of any other way it drops with hand movements but drove to the shop.
You gotta love American drivers, and their "that just started happening" stories.
When I got my car it made a slight clunk noise on potholes but when I lifted it up, no joke I could move the wheel back and forth about 4 inches. Bad upper control arm.
"A small vibration", "It started doing X this week", "A friend of mine fixed it".
Which others can you name as the most used death flags on this channel?
EDIT: remembered another one: "The costumer declined all repairs".
I just bought this car and......
@@T1004x4 Heard this from the desk while waiting for my car at the shop one day: "Ok, I just bought this car, and I know it's far from perfect. I'm here to find out just how far gone it is." Ten minutes later, he's called back to the desk, and they ask him how much he paid for the car. "~$500." "Sir...even so...you got ripped off."
Ouch.

@@Kalvinjj Or your floor mat is covering the throttle and that makes the car not start
Loved the 64 Comet at the end, I have to admit I'm a Comet guy. Between me and my late father there's always been at least one in our family since the late 60's. My current one is a 62 with the S-22 trim package 1 of only 7,000 built that year.
My grandmother bought a 62 S-22 new! Drove it until the 80's. Had a center console that weighed almost as much as the car. It had the 170 with 2 speed Merc-o-Matic. Unknown what happened to it, nice car, tho.
If you’ve dropped something in an engine and don’t want to remove it, might I suggest disconnecting the battery?
And tell the new owner
It's ok, in all likelihood the rover needed a new engine anyway
I miss playing the piston delete lottery at the dealership. We saw everything from sproinged springs and dropped valves to your insides are now outsides. My favorite was the c6 missing a piston, it had 8 rods but only 7 pistons.
This is a great way to educate people and should be shown in Auto Shop Class all over America.
What auto shop class? They cut out all the wasteful spending like that.
I wanted to be a mechanic, after watching this channel for a while now, I can 100% say I don’t want to be one any longer. Like bruh
Good choice lol
I want to be a mechanic. Even with these things i still want to be one.
Make some good money with idiots like these tho 😆 🤣
Try Parts. All the fun and the laughs. Lol.
But being entertained by people's personal issues is a rare thing to enjoy.
My first car was a baby blue 63 Dodge polara with a push button transmission. Best car I ever had.
My uncle had a mid 60s coronet with the push button tranny. Loved those but never got to drive a pb tranny car.
Did a DOT inspection on a 2020 Mack plow truck today to make sure it's good for winter. Found the service air line to the right rear brake chamber leaking air, it was loose that the fitting. The thing has 9800 miles on it. Tightened it up and checked all the rest, some of them were also loose, but not leaking air yet. Good job Mack/Volvo.
That can happen earlier in a vehicle’s life just from rattling around. Especially if a vehicle was built in a colder climate and shipped somewhere warmer.

Too fast
Too furious on those breaks 🤣
Recently I had to check a 1994 Ford F150 4x4 for a power steering leak. It was the pitman shaft seal, but while I had it on the hoist I noticed a catch pan installed between the transmission and the transfer case. The customer told me he paid $800 to some backyard mechanic work on the leak and it didn't stop. From what I could tell the transmission oil pan had silicone for a gasket, but was probably not the original source of the leak. The source of the leak was most likely the transmission output shaft seal or a crack in the transmission case.
Woooow. I'm constantly amazed.
A whole new meaning for an oil catch can!
Me: I can't continue to watch these rolling nightmares.
Also me: Immediately watches the latest video as soon as the notification drops.
I love the oil can leak stop. It looks like something straight out of a stoner movie. 😂😂😂
Scary enough that this might make it work long enough until the next guy buys it.
A friend of mine had an old Flxible bus he converted to a motorhome that was equipped with catch cans below the Green Leaker (Detriot Diesel).
Love those bus conversions! Especially the ones with Christmas wrapping paper over the windows!
@@BakedRBeans You made me laugh! It wasn't quite that bad, but almost.
I had two rattles start in my car. One while driving and the other on sudden stops. I figured out them both. Lighter in the console after I put it there after I installed my dash cam. And a bolt I put in my side door pocket when I found loose it in my engine compartment that I wanted to keep in case it was important.
The only real rattle I've had a problem with was the rattlesnake that got out of the sack...luckily found it before taking it to the shop. PS love the last line.
I like how your show cool older vehicles in the end. They certainly made things to last longer back in the days.
The clever re-engineering of undercarriages/front suspensions never cease to amaze me.
Wow. Laughing so hard my stomach hurts. 🤣
So many more uses for silicone! Very versatile product! 👌
Lol, love the videos! Please keep them coming!
Great video as always. It amazes me how many people wait and watch your videos in a little over 2 hours. Thanks for them.
Subscribed. Anyone that has worked in a shop can relate to this channel. A customer told shop owner engine stopped running. I found pushrod lifters in the oil pan 🙄
One would have to drive something pretty damn hard to light the rotors on fire 💥💥💥
Some people have more money than sense. Back in the days when a lot of people did their own repairs, you rarely ever say anything like this. We knew better.
Had a local school do a really cheap brake job on my old car once. With the new discs and pads the car felt really slow, they were so tightly fit I could barely move from a green light. Tried to wear them out by driving, I went to the freeway and drove 5 miles to the next exit. When I stopped the car I saw a faint glow in the black steel rims(it was night). The rotors were red hot of course. I waited 15min for the glow to stop. After that the brakes were not stuck again, and the car was fine. I drove it for a year and passed the inspection easily. But it must have been close to burning.
With the first video has many speculate the owner may have done a massive burnout to light the brake rotors on fire.
Got to love the quality control of Ford and Chevy. Didn't realize it at the time but the 2002 Tacoma I bought off the lot would be my last vehicle.
People buy Ford and Chevy trucks based on commercials they see during TV football games.
You must not be in the rust belt. My 06 Tacoma rotted to the frame. It almost broke in two when the junk yard guys pulled it on the slider. That was my last Toyota.
@@ohger1 AZ vehicle, not a spec of rust on it. 267K going strong. Raised in the rust belt, hell on earth.

That's 1 less person with an electrical fire!
lol this happened to me last week. I saw a flame in the wheel. Found out that a rock had lodged itself in between my brake rotors
been seeing a lot of new ford vehicles looking like they’ve been made on a friday night before clocking out 😂
Right foot mashed, drive fast + left foot break hard = flame on. 🔥🤣
Those are some spicy brakes

Red glowing brakes reminds me if this car I tried stopping in downtown Denver, they had the window cracked and bumping their music I ran up to her yelling "your Ebrake is on"
She rolled the window up and sped away and the brakes kept glowing lol
The “oh!” got me dead.
1:04 that steering rack is looser then my buddy's ex-wife.
oh boy 😆
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
im not saying shes loose, but find my keys and we'll drive out!
Wow
Yeah, that's what ur buddy told me, too!!
I appreciate you putting in the metric measurements. Very considerate.
02:07 I did this once with an old Peugeot 309. Took the head off and the piston, head and valves were pretty mashed up. No cracks though so put it back together and carried on driving for years!
Another exceptional and excellent video. You guys make my day and help me to avoid this hazards.
I had an old Honda that had this happen. The front brakes were glowing. Not quite on fire, but glowing.
Ah, I'm brought back to the olden days of cars when I see that 64 Mercury Comet.... That was the type of car you could put your right arm up on the seat then swerve to the right and your lady would slide across the seat and right into your arm, such a smooth move. I'm glad I grew up in the days when these were still plenty and some were still on the road.... My first car was an 86 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme and I loved that car.
For once the seat designers got the design correct. 🤣
Back when cars were convenient for "hanging out in".
@@volvo09 - Exactly, the days of the drive-ins and window service burger joints... Who would want to sit anywhere else when your car seats are couches. 😂
You would be throwing your lady into the back seat w/ that Comet! 🤣
Having driven V6 and V8 Cutlass Supremes (85-87) I _totally_ agree with you. You can steer with one finger, brake with one toe, and have a nice smooth ride on 14" tires. If you're lucky enough to have the optional "pillow-top" seats, well, it's heavenly. Doesn't matter which gas pump you pull up to because the filler is behind the license plate.
Did you know, those Oldsmobiles had an illuminated dot to the left of the headlight switch (the rocker switch style) to help you find it in the dark? There's a short piece of fiber optic cable running from the rear of the switch's face, and it leads to a bulb and socket underneath the steering column (behind the trim panel). The bulb illuminates whenever the ignition is on, so if you bought the car used, it was probably burned-out.
I almost spat my food when I saw the oil catch can.
Yep. A catch can can prevent oil spills in the main seal alright!
Ahahaha
That comet is breathtakingly gorgeous 🥰🥰
My neighbor called me when he came home from his 2nd shift job to show me the dull red glowing rotor. The caliper seized up half way home and he knew something was wrong just from the smell.
bad as some of these are what is really sad are the brand new vehicle ones. there is no zero none excuses
I was just saying the same thing. These stupid high new car prices, and this is what people are paying for, half assed assembly.
@@ragingraven7915 At least it wasn't a Bronco engine? (boom.)
I’ve had the sunglasses thing myself twice. Two days to figure out both times. 😂
Loved that Ford at the end!
The first one probably drove like he was in the GT championships. No normal road use should have glowing rotors like that.
It was probably frozen stuck
Everytime i watch one of these videos im happy im from germany and we have mandatory safety inspections that will keep you of the road for anything more than a broken window
Gotta love QC on these new vehicles.
The body work one kills me every time. For every 1 quality shop there are 50 hack shops. You get what you pay for.
Always enjoy your vids 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
Thank you my friend!
2:54 reminds me of when a brand new 2022 Expedition Timberline was about to be delivered to it's new owner and for some reason it just stopped doing anything at all, thankfully still at the dealership
after a while of looking, a tech found out that the connector for the Gateway Module (basically the heart of most other modules) was loose when it was built and just came out enough to disconnect only then
worst part is, the Gateway Module used to be near the OBD2 port, but on the new Expeditions, Ford moved it to behind the center screen, so that had to come out
on the plus side, at least the owner didn't have to deal with it at all
The oil catch can was too funny!
At time: 2:25 - That's what's called a June Jug*. As a middle-aged man, I can definitely recommend such an accessory for your car or truck. I always keep one under the driver's seat. It's much more important than even a spare tire, which is of no use when you're trapped for hours in a traffic jam! Az sells nice ones that seal tight and stay odor-free. *June Jugs are named in honor of the actress, June Alyson, who sold incontinence products in later life, and advocated for people to be free to urinate whenever and wherever they need.
Given how more and more places are putting up "no public restroom" signs, and fewer and fewer highway rest areas are open, you make good sense.
Necessary equipment if you're an Amazon driver. 😆
@@fitybux4664and they still pee on your house anyhow!
Dude, you have a great voice and accent. Voice over job in your future I think. Thanks for the content in the unsure times. And the guy with the Jeep was being green, and AOC would love that.
I appreciate that. I usually get the opposite about my voice. Thanks 😊
@@JustRolledIn Oh I have to agree with Dr Remulack. Your voice is very soothing, just what we need to watch the carnage going on!
3:15 Lower left.
Looks like a Rambler American ragtop done-up in an AMC SCRambler paint scheme. Nice !
Love the rims painted on the Merc
Was his friend Stevie Wonder?
😆😆 right?
Man, that's some high temp paint on those "brakes a'fire" wheels !! That piston wouldda self-clearanced that bolt if they'd just left it alone !
Watching all these video series I realized that the main problem is "The part" behind the wheel!!! 🤣😂
"oh ... ?" 🤣 Some people are lucky to be alive
I once had the bearing on the water pump seize on me. It ripped the pump right out of the engine and yeeted it through my hood. Nothing says good morning quite like that
I had one lock up, twist off and go right thru the radiator.
Had an idler pulley on a Jeep totally disintegrate while on freeway.
There's something seriously wrong with new vehicles and quality control.
Almost everyday I'm hearing of recalls and the like, just heard abunch of Subaru's have been recalled because of faulty electronic handbrakes disengaging.
Older models, including mine. The manufacturers will now do a recall for things way more readily than they used to. When I owned a Prius, I think we had about 3 recalls for the possibility of an accident in situations so incredibly unlikely I was surprised they bothered at all.
From experience (with a putative fleet van we didn't go for), electronic handbrakes have to be the worst 'innovation' the car industry ever came up with.
Great video even when most of the time I have no idea what I am looking at
Love the eye candy at the end.
Silicone is always a sign of poor bodywork. 😎
Truth. I have only seen a silicone job worse than that once in a bathroom, and that too was covering a far too large gap in the structure.
Or big breasts.
Second love your vids
I appreciate that!!
Always amazed what drives in
love them F/X comets..
Seems like the quality of new cars over the last 3 years has gone to $h(t.
I just got a brand new camry no issues with it. But i see your point definitely.
I think it's from all the covid staffing issues... So many staffing shortages and lots of people had to be retrained to fill other positions, and there were a lot of retirees too.
Sort of like when I was working in a restaurant doing dishes and all of a sudden they put me on the grill! Wtf!! I was 16 and only knew how to microwave a burrito or make a basic burger on the propane grill!
Damn that civic must of been going 80mph poor grocery getter, pushed way to hard. 🤣
3 and a half minutes of BANGERS lmaoooo
Has always Liked,Shared. Keep the great videos coming.
Thanks, Bobby!
63 miles! That’s a kick in face!
You guys find the strangest things wrong with the vehicles that come to your shop. Much respect for you and your Crew
Guy in that one clip be like: The breaking ability of this car is so good it’s on 🔥!
So far I’ve had used mercurys as my cars. I really hope the next one is a comet lol
I've owned a lot of Mercs. Current one is '63 Comet hardtop.
Some people should really play lottery with all the luck they have staying on the road.
good stuff!!!
0:45 -- it's the ope for me
Oooooooope 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Seeing all these new vehicles DOA even before they get sold really fills me with confidence.
