RESCUING An ABANDONED Saturn ION REDLINE Project *Can We Start It?*
Vložit
- čas přidán 6. 09. 2024
- A friend reached out to me after the fired video and said he took his 2005 Saturn Ion Redline apart years ago and needed it put back together. It had been apart for so long that he did remember where the connectors went and didn't really have the motivation to get outside and mess with it. Gabe and i headed over in the morning expecting the perfect day to work on a car outside, instead we ended up working in the rain all day.

You just differentiated yourself from the rest of the CZcams pack. "Car Rescue" helping those unable to make car repairs. Moreover, unable to pay for car repairs necessary for getting back-and-forth to work. There are so many people unable to afford car repairs. Great job! Keep it up! God Bless! Your loss of employment may be a blessing!
Seriously. I just quit my job due to some personal bs. Aaaand car snaps a lower ball joint. Literally had to beg and borrow for a tow because if it got impounded i would have lost all my belongings. Still not fixed because Minnesota winters and i don't own a blue wrench
These types of things are appreciated beyond what most people will know.
Great idea!!!
Great idea. Check out Bill Pulte (@pulte) on Twitter. He is crowdsourcing people helping people. JR can be the guy doing the work for local families with transportation issues, such as a dead car or need a beater car to get back on their feet. Then he can reach out to his followers and others on social media to contribute via GoFundMe for the project expenses. JR grows the channel and get's ad revenue, people in need get a roadworthy car, and we all win.
@@tarstarkusz I see this must of been your first CZcams vlog video ever then..... SMH
The point is supposed to be about the WORK, not some gay ass shit about rain.
Am I the only one that prefers JR fix a hooptie rather than his own R8? Honestly as much as you say you dont want to put other peoples projects back together this and the car flipping is my favorite!
Although it is really frustrating that he hasn't just finished the R8
I couldn't give a shit about the R8. It's like a fad on youtube to buy these salvaged supercars and fix them. I don't care, I have no interest in supercars - I will most likely never own a super car. I like when JR fixes these normal cars, because it seems like something I could do, anyone could spend the time to learn a little about wrenches, how craigslist works, and flip cheap cars. It is cool seeing this unique, funny, interesting guy, fix cheap cars and flip them. It seems more real to me. More down to earth. I am here because I like the person who is behind it, and will keep watching JR GO videos until he will stop uploading them.
I like supercars, but flipping shitboxes are so much better.
tbh maybe only 98.9 of us will never own a supercar....ive got a turd gen,is that a super car ???(kidding)
@@trillrifaxegrindor4411 3rd gen F body's are sick man! Waaaayyyyy cooler than any supercar, as long as it is owned by you and you enjoy it!
Eye patch and glasses like a BOSS
My mans need to get a monocle.
This is pretty cool helping out a car guy getting his car back and running.
My fav kind of WatchJrGo videos. Shows real talent, knowledge and detail; and most importantly..... NO CLICKBAIT tactics!!!
...yet. Let’s hope not though
New business venture JR starts a landscape company........watch jr mow
Grandma's Malibu Put your period before the quote.
@@kennethkruse9267 didn't know grandma's Malibu was on her period
Watch Jr grow
Followed by JR’s barber shop: Get JR’s flow
Well, hes not lacking for opportunities - in this market, he could get a job in about 30 minutes. Dudes got dedication!!
I watch every video now that you got fired
NBSYukon Scheff:😉🍻
I like every single one now too
I do too. But, we should start referring to it differently, since it might actually be a good thing. It's more of a transistion to full-time youtuber.
And the ads.
@tarstarkusz bro... point to where the bad man hurt you.
I just wanted to add to the already fantastic comments that HF sells a slim dual head ratchet that works great for installation of the serpentine belt . No cheaters are needed !
I am in awe of your ability to tackle problems that others gave up on. Coupled with your positive attitude, you will go far.
Agreed, JR and Gabe are the good guys...
JR you're a nice guy helping him out!! and you have the patience of a saint lol
Now that you're a jobless bum, I make sure I dont miss a video. You got this!
Lmaoo
I even let the ads play...
@@kstricl ew no premium?! Peasant😏
@@povlrueger3898 What kind of an idiot _pays_ for CZcams
@@povlrueger3898 I pay for enough other streaming services. CZcams makes plenty off ads when I'm on mobile. On desktop, I normally don't see ads (for some odd reason 😏)
You're like ChrisFix and Hoovie had a child....
Yes!
JR, you're gold man. I'm not even worried about you. Between your wrenching skills, social media presence, and IT/computer knowledge, I know it's just a matter of time until you're raking in the dough for yourself. Keep up the good work, and as another commentor noted, be careful doing these odd jobs yourself once you lose your health insurance (though I'm assuming you got severance and COBRA for the time being?)
La Trace : well stated . Took my thoughts exactly. Great to read
Positive comments . Have a good one . Best wishes from
Canada.
YOU HAVE A NEW MISSION.
RESCUE AND FIX OTHER PEOPLES CARS TO HELP THEM OUT
Both you and Gabe got class. Helping your friend out and getting his car back on the rode, keep up the great work. Now please work on the R8!!!
Ross L: Thanks for the support!!
I’m glad that I found this channel because it has become one of my favorites. 👍🏻
scott baros:😉🍻
“Watchjrmow” LMAO! I seriously laughed way to hard at that! Good stuff guys!👍
Omg this could be a cool series "Car rescue" helping people put there cars back together 👀
All og's should bingewatch all your vids and not skip one ad.. this channel WILL NOT DIE!
Filipe Moniz:😉🍻
Speaking as an observer from the other side of the Atlantic, this is an amazing channel, it's positive.
Good work JR, say hi to Gabe, Amber et all. 👌👍
saintfunny: Cheers man!😉🍻
Gabe : your the Awesome BFF everyone appreciates having.
Thanks for being there and helping the guy out ! Wishing you
All the best buddy.
I really hope there will be a part 2. First drive and detail. Cool car, loved the format of this video. Thanks.
Man you can bring anything to life.
Awesome for you to help someone like that 👍 Bless You JR
This car is missing half of its mechanical components! *starts by cleaning windshield* LOL
Checking for spare bolts.
Bryce Reigle: gotta make sure the work area is clean... and find any nuts/ bolts
Bryce Reigle you wouldn’t want all that dust in your engine would you?
Nice job, gentlemen - helping a friend in need. I salute you!
Unlike some of these lost causes, I've been watching your videos way before you got fired - and I still think that's bull.
On top of that, who thinks it's funny that someone got fired?
I'll tell you what's actually funny: that end of video handshake. Figure out which one you're going to use BEFORE you shoot :)
Looking forward to more of the L7 - after you test drive the Redline.
chemxfan: 😉🍻
I think it was one hell of a gesture for you to help this guy out and make nothing about it in the story. I watched the video and thought is the guy giving the car to JR or paying him or what. but to do all that work just to help a fellow man out shows that your a great person. I commend you for helping someone that needed help and did it out of the goodness of your heart.
I agree. The whole saturn line was garbage. Let it rest in peace.
Love saturns. Especially they Ion. I have 2 ion quad coupes.
I don't think I have ever seen anybody type that. "Love Saturns".
Mexican Spec my dads lasted 400 k miles lol and got 44 per gallon
Almighty Aimz I’ve seen them at the auto auction with 1,000,000 plus and records
Awesome, thanks man!
Absolutely! It’s a cool car to work on 💯
@@WatchJRGo needs pin to the top
You doing okay Paul? Said you were in an accident??
@@jeesmith99 hiking accident, fell 30-40 feet onto rock. Doing alright now.
Paul Miner does it run now? Please show us :-)
JR, you're really such an awesome guy. I love that you take the time to mentor people and you do it not only without being condescending, but while being supportive and helpful.
I own a Saturn ion na... this is the video I’ve been waiting for 😂 This is just one of those cars I for some reason want lol
Easily the best of your videos... helping out a person with limited resources and other challenges. Bravo!
I really liked this. It's reminiscent of the content I first found you for.
2:22 "breakfast bowls". Heheheh
The food kind 😂
Spangles
Yum, I love me some Ecotec. Nice of you to help him out!
You need to bring an E-Z-Up for times just like these. Great job, nice project Guys!
These little cars are awesome, I own an 04 redline. Not many people know about these, but they're so fun and unique. It's cool to see one on the channel 👍
I'm actually putting my Saturn ion back together too as well
Twerking the torque maker 😂 your randomness kills me 🤭
Thank you for helping get another Ion Redline back on the road!! I own a 2006 and I have to say I dont see many on the rod these days. You are awesome!! By the way if that Ion came with the boast gauge from the factory that means it is a competition package and it will have a limited slip differential.
The content we expect as we WatchJrGo broke
Nice of you to spend a day to rescue someone else's car - I can imagine the difficulty of trying to pick up someone'e half job and try to finish it. Great job but completely understand why we won't see it again - something that many would not even try!
For 10 minutes I kept thinking, "Get a pop up cover", then you did it.
gigasipke: Great minds!😉🍻
That dash worked great. It took the light out of the way instead of being between your eyes and the road. It made driving at night a lot clearer.
Love your videos however most seem to not have an ending. This one would be great with everything put back together and you taking out for a test drive along with a dialog of your thoughts on the project. It's like reading a great book only to have the last chapter missing.
Clutch went straight to the floor. I really wanted to drive it but who knows how long the clutch will take 🍻
This is in addition to my comment. I am telling you, you're onto something with this video! Good insight, stupadasso 1964.
Very nice of you and Gabe to help with this project. I don't blame you for asking that people don't message you to do this. I can't wait to see the finished product and a test drive.
Dude, you see: You're gaining many MORE Subs, and you're doing what you do so WELL!
You're a great friend. Looks like Gabe ran into some hard times and you are there for him, even mowing his yard! I'm subbed for life, nice
The full time CZcams is kinda working ? U got 10k subs in 1 week
Gabe and Jr mobile mechanics , why because they have nothing to do !
Holy Cr*p its a manual! Awesome! I didnt know these came with a good gearbox
Had no idea the Saturn ION Red Line was supercharged. Excellent video.
I owned a 2004 Saturn Vue, 6 cylinder Honda engine, AWD.
Loved that SUV.
Thanks John Ross, Gabe, great job!
Why would you bother? Let it rest in peace in the junkyard where it belongs.
That instrument cluster worked fine for me. I used to have an ION and that was easier to read at a glance than the ones in front of the driver.
Someone give this man a TV show where he does repairs for people in need while showing basic diy car care tips along the way!
Just set up a 10x12 canopy...I picked mine up cheap- but I've swapped several engines under tarps..set up a van or truck to tie to and use pvc to make a "t" pee...plenty of room and your dry.
In the long run, I think you'll be happier moving forward. How hard is it to find parts for Saturn's? And again, Gabe, you rock!!! You are really going to be huge in John Ross' future making a go of being self-employed. You're a beast of a friend. Das Boost? LOL!!
Hey J.R. I'm working on a 2005 PT Cruiser. It says the O2 Heater is failed on both banks. I replaced both sensors, no dice. I checked the grounds. All good. I saw the PCM can cause that, but that's an extreme swap. Any idea of what I should do?
That saturn uses cobalt ss drivetrain. Common ish stuff
The ecm is simple to replace on a PT cruiser 😎
Joey M: I’d double check any ideas in forums and if nothing else works, proceed with PCM swap. I know it seems like a huge ordeal. Just go slow and keep track of all fasteners etc. that you remove. (Always disconnect the battery first!)
Good luck!!! 😉🍻
I'd check the wiring before changing the PCM. Heaters are only needed during warm-up in cold weather regardless. Probe the line by the PCM on a cold startup and see if you have voltage. If you do, problem is not there. Not familiar with the car but if the PCM is not providing +5 volts itself than its tripping a relay somewhere. Something like this I'd probably work backwords and find a rubbed through and corroded copper power line somewhere.
If the PCM is getting burned it probably a symptom and not a cause.
I think flipping and rescuing cars that weren't finished is your calling JR. You and Gabe are a great team.
Daniel Zermeno: 😉🍻
I didn't know that car existed and the suicide doors look cool actually. Love your videos and can't wait to see the R8 done. I can't wait to see your Camaro fixed as well.🙂👍👍
I’m ALL IN on this build!
you have a big heart, helping that guy out. Sure the job was a pain, but you need the project and he needs a hand.
Great job JR alway very hard taking over someone else’s half finished job
I want to see it run!! Moving itself down the road under its own power iv never heard of the Saturn ion redline before
Funny, my dad taught me "star" tightening in the mid-early '60's. Some things live a lifetime, or two or three, or???????
JR going ANYWHERE in the world to save the Saturn ION redlines!!! That's what he said, right? 110k subs - keep it up!
Don’t think I’ve ever seen a Front Wheel Drive SuperCharged Engine
now YOU GUYS ARE LEARNING THE TENT WORKS GREAT GOOD JOB
Those subs r jumping up buddy. Keep up the good work.
Seriously! 1k in the last few hours.
Wishing you the best. Personally I like the cheaper cars you and your friends repair, but it’s your channel. Look forward to your upcoming videos
Saving a Saturn I reckon you have made Hoovie very happy.

You definitely make the COVID stay at home time easier. Love the channel.
good job ... i think you found your new line of work ... mobile mechanic
Love your channel! I am a Long time subscriber. keep up the good work.👍🏻
Dennis Clavin: 😉🍻
Loved this video. Thank you for being so kind to that sir.
I have a 1979 Chevy Nova El Camino,, I need your help!! The frame broke after putting 26" rims on it & flying over train tracks at 50mph. I have no idea what happened, I have less then 800lbs of stereo equipment & I heated the springs..
A Nova EL Camino? Must be a one of a kind vehicle, never heard of it.
Please more WATCH-JR-MOW featuring Gabe! I was on the RIGHT CHANNEL!
Glad to see you replacing the hubs, struts, bushings, fuels lines, brake lines, that fucking shift valve, cam actuators, instrument cluster, exhaust manifold, oil cooler, coolant flush (Dex de-clay), purge valve. I'm sure I forgot something.
JR, I honestly think losing your job may be a huge blessing for you. I know I’m enjoying the content. And judging by the subscriber boost so is everyone else.
gabe is hilarious ...
"not my buttons"
OBXTarheel91: Hey! Leave my gum drop buttons out of this!!😉🍻
There was supposed to be a green oring/ gasket that goes on that bypass tube for the supercharger that I noticed never got put on. Probably won’t make boost without it
Jesse Mitchell: It’s there.
Yup, it’s there 🍻
Jr an Gaybe ,hats off to you guys helping that man out hopefully he pays it forward. Nice tent it will come in handy. Bless you guys.
That engine sounded like it was knocking Or has a bad rod AND you never Checked the supercharger oil
Knock knock
This car rescue type of thing was awesome. Way different than all the other car channels out there!
Waiting for 250k subscribers! U definitely deserve it. Cheers from Canada
Def do a follow up and drive!
Oh I know the troubles of rain this week, been a up hill battle getting my old 4WS Prelude transmission back in but it's alive n kicking again just like that ion.
It would be great to be buddies with you and Gabe! Amazing work guys! Keep cranking it up!
Gerard Vasquez Jr. : 😉🍻
Watch JR mow.... Epic!
gah the lack of revs and test drive killed me at the end! but loved the video. really cool of you to help a guy out, totally understand not wanting your inbox full of HELP ME requests! but... maybe have a separate email or something for people to request help and pick the cool or deserving ones once and a while! :D
You're a swell guy for doing that for a friend. That being said, that motor sounds whipped (almost like the Veloster did before the swap).
Anyway, I know this guy who needs to put together his Twin Turbo Audi R8. Any interest?
Hope all is well - have a good weekend.
Paul Kane is it a black one from London Ontario ?
Paul Kane: 😉🍻
love the video jr. see the tool box in the back ground and like the look of it. need to get a new tool box and was wondering what kind it was? so I could have a look and see if it is what I am look for.
all best and keep up the good work

HIT57: It’s an Army mechanic mobile tool chest.
*Helping someone else is a good thing* and is why this has been such a great video. If you think about it we watch car vids on repairs to get a clue on how to handle impossible situations not just to hear a bunch of blah blah blah. But... helping others in need is a concept people could not only embrace but, even rally around. What about a go fund me of *JR's POWER CREW* to afford more?
I really liked this video, I know you said at the end you didn’t want people messaging you to put their projects back together but I think it is pretty good content. Honestly I like all of your content though and I’m looking forward to continuing to follow you on your CZcams journey. Thanks for the great content!
Miguel Morganus:😉🍻
Love Gabe's Dr horrible shirt 😂😂
dlinemusic: Great eye!!!😉🍻
That was still awesome JR. I wonder if you'd make extra money being a travelling mechanic from time to time? That'd be pretty interesting. Kudos to helping that subscriber with his Saturn Redline. I hope to eventually have my 1998 Volkswagen Beetle TDI 5 speed back in order and running perfect. Best wishes and Peace Out!
Currently still driving a 2006 saturn ion with 114,000 miles. Really not a bad car. They are essentially a Chevy Cobolt. They have their quirks but really what car doesn't.
Junk car... it will be dead before 150K without life support.
Delta platform is super underrated. Love this
Not a fan of the Saturn brand but love to see a forgotten car comeback to life
I'd like to hang out with Watch JR Goes. We could roll up the fat Woolford and get all schmoked up.
I've been where you are...given a bucket of parts and they say..."hey, here you go...all the rest of the parts are in the trunk".. But I had to do it on a 2005 ford Thunderbird...fortunately the lincoln ls 4dr shares the same jaguar design. Those guys with the lincolns work on their cars..tbird guys take them to dealers.
Hey watch JR mow wanna come up to Canada and show me how to change a headgasket on a 1990 miata? You know since you have so much time on your hands? 😏
All your videos so entertaining. 👍 never miss one video
Brandon Mitchell:😉🍻
