I bought this 1998 Mitsubishi Diamante from the Oklahoma State Surplus Auction for $402.01. After putting in some work I've got it cleaned up and ready to live again, but I wanted to try some mechanic in a bottle fixes to stop the oil leak and bring the power steering back to life. After pouring those in Randy from @AutoAuctionRebuilds showed up. We took it out for it's first real drive, and he bought it to take back to Oklahoma so he can keep working on it.

Mitsubishi got me with the double sided center console... I love stuff like that!! 😍
It was ahead of it’s time
Ok it's time for a car repair video, a fixer upper. I have a Honda Element...
It makes sense since this car was sold in right-hand driving countries too. The same part works in either configuration.
@@znogaragego3421 Not just sold but MADE in a right-hand drive country, and it was not Japan. These cars were exported to Japan.
@@briantayler1230 made in Australia. This car was really Bang for its buck in the day. Ford, Holden & Toyota could not match it on price for all it’s features.
Awesome seeing Mike trying to hide in the shadows... You can't miss the smile.
Ha!! Thanks!
Wish it was a longer series with the Diamante, but hey .... the two you tube video probably already made more than what you paid for the car. Keep the junk cars coming, its enjoyable to see them get cleaned and fixed.
Yes it is fixing the old car's.
Randy is the stop leak king! Especially head gasket
Because he can't be bothered to fix things correctly?
Funny how he says I’ve never tried it. He’s the shadiest of them all.
Randy is a total scam
@@braaapattack2937 maybe but I enjoy aar
Oh No not Repeat Randy from Auto Auction Repeat. Just be careful he has screwed every other youtuber he has worked with.
Amen
Yes sir he has. Weird Beard got so tired of his bs he apparently threatened to whoop his ass so then ol Randy made sure to start posting picks of his new Taurus 9mill. So not only is he shady af he's a puss too. I used to be a fan... not so much anymore.
@@aggressivemediocrity posting pictures of a gun = pussy.
Buying a Taurus = Idiot
He's massive tool.
Auto Auction Rebuilds will say,"....I'm just gonna send it to auction". Auto Auction Re-Auctions.
Always good to see Monkey Wrench Mike….top guy!
Thanks Ross!!
As soon as you mentioned Randy, I knew this wasn't worth watching
Interesting how he refers to Randy as a “dealer,” but I would have thought the number of flips JR does that Kansas would require him to be a dealer as well. Now I am curiouser.
I think it has something to do with state’s requirements on selling a vehicle bought from salvage auctions lol Randy pretty much lives at the auction yard
@@zackatron925 The Kansas State DOR web site simply says that a dealer needs a license and says “A vehicle dealer constitutes a person who purchases a vehicle with the intent to sell for a profit, or sells 5 or more vehicles within a calendar year.”
Randy got in trouble for selling too many cars in OK. He had to get a dealers license if he wanted to keep his youtube channel going.
I know each state has different rules on how many cars you can sell in a year. In my state, I can only sell 2 cars before I am required to get a dealers license.
Unfortunately, JR is at the age where he labours under the delusion his success affords him a level of 'invincibility'........then the city/state get their hooks into you and it ends in tears.
Where I live you have to pay sales taxes if you buy a car. Sell it a week later and the next owner has to pay taxes again. Having a dealer license gets you out of paying sales taxes.
I had an older Chrysler T&C that had some massive oil leaks. Took it into the shop and they were able to fix a lot of them, but they told me that if it started leaking again (which it did) to buy a good bottle of oil stop leak and try it. Did that and the van ran like a champ for another 40K miles until someone rear ended us, and the van wasn't worth the estimates for repairs, so the stuff does work. Also did somewhat the same thing for an Explorer that had the expensive ($4k) leaking head gasket - used the treatment recommended by the shop and it was still running a year later with no coolant leak.
Monkey Wrench Mike needed a shout out guys, he’s a top bloke! He deserves loads more subs 🙉
Thanks Ross!!
@@MrMikeyBBrooks love ya Mike. Would’ve been great if you got a mention
Had a 2004 Diamante many years ago...great car. Side note, Kia was building the 3.5 mitsubishi engine 7+ years ago...I have a Sorento with it now, super smooth and puts out 276 horsepower now...
I absolutely LOVE JR's unbridled enthusiasm for his beater cars~!
Don’t disagree with randy he don’t like when you don’t agree with him lol
These things are notorious for rocker cover gasket leaks, I’ve owned 6 Magnas (Diamante to the US viewers) and all of them have had that issue. One thing people forget is to reshape the covers to make the gasket fit snug so it doesn’t leak again. Also the metal is very thin on them so the bolts are 3.5nm or just snug. Radiator top and bottom tanks are brittle plastic and crack, the 4spd auto is pretty good (except the wavespring which wasn’t updated until 04) but these motors do not die. A mate of mine ram one with no coolant for a decent chunk of time, topped it back up, and it ran like nothing even happened. Still going strong 2yrs later too…
The 6G family 72 74 and 75 are amazing engines. Chuck a 6G75, and a manual box in a Diamante and it’s a ridiculously torquey car (220hp at the front wheels with that setup).
These have a massive following down under, and the Japanese ones have so many toys it’s not even funny (multi link suspension, radar cruise control to name a few)
Loving the content mate, and can’t wait to see what Randy does with it.
If either of you are down under anytime soon I’d love to show you around our barren Little Rock.
Can’t wait to build my 2004 fusion orange AWD one and put an Evo 8MR manual box, sprintex supercharger and 6G75 in. Maybe I should do a YT build series on it 🙊
Side note: us Aussies didn’t get the centre console lid with those slide out cup holders. Superrrr jealous of it 🙊
Also from Oz. Had a 2004 AWD from new for 10 years till someone ran into it @80KM/H. I was fine.
BTW, great car! AWD insanely grippy. Especially with 245/17inch tyres
@@peterfey9921 glad to hear you were okay from that one. Must’ve been a traumatic experience! I’m reassembling mine as we speak, have just done rocker cover gaskets, tube seals, leads, dizzy cap and rotor button (notorious maintenance items on these things as you’d know). Really clean car otherwise, the rare leather interior, sunroof, kms are at 180,000 and it’s been really well looked after for the most part.
The HM Headers I’ve got laying around will be installed soon, im making up a custom Magnaflow exhaust for it too. Will need to install Evo x bilsteins once I mod them to fit 👀
Picking up the supercharger in the next few weeks when things really pick up the pace… Evo X BBS and some Brembos are next on the list.
@@timdiskodisken6241 Good to hear you're keeping yours at it's best! Mine was also. Even tho it was as new inside, I'd sourced NOS genuine leather interior and had just finished installing that and a bunch of other things when it was rear ended. I've since moved to the country and bought a V6 ML Triton which is awesome as well! Neither have given me problems in a combined 15 years of ownership. But I do maintain my cars well.
BTW Love the sound of your build! I'm in SE Qld -if you're in the area (not likely) I'd love to see it
Thanks for all the videos you gave us in 2021. Really enjoying all your adventures. Hope you have a wonderful and prosperous 2022. Peace
Thats bar's power stearing fluid works like a dream! It silences noisy pumps really well, I've used it on many vehicles and recomended it a bunch.
The diametes were cool cars in there day. In 1998 My 1st car was a 96 galant. My mom went with me to buy it. It was the first time we brought a car from the dealer. I loved that car and tricked it out with led lights, 17 inch chrome rims, a pioneer system, sub and amps. Wish I could go back in time. You should keep it.
I used this stuff called AT-205 stop leak for everything. Got it on Amazon a few years ago. I wanted to stop the leaking of my power steering pump on my Subaru. The stuff is still working !
Scotty approved.
LOVE THE VIDEO, LOVE TO SEE ALL GANG TOGETHER AFTER LONGTIME, HI TO RANDY AND MIKE .... AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR JR AN TO ALL
Monkey wrench Mike is one of my favorites. He's got a quirky way about him but seems genuine. Great job getting out of that Diamante JR. That's a losing proposition all day long.
I mean he has made his money back.
@@cameronschluchtner for sure he did. Had he kept it longer and done more repairs, like the facelift or something crazy like that... $$$
Thanks Dan!!
Noooo I was hoping for a full nut and bolt resto!!!! 😜
Hahaha, I'd be better off buying a clean one 😳
@@WatchJRGo plus a car you actually like
You need to tune into Randy's YT page for the Full Resto. 😮
@@MrWoodyBalto would rather have teeth pulled.
@@marksbikeexports5123 Go do that then
the worst part of this video is: AAR being involved.
??? Why you no like Randy?
JR said in a comment there was an issue with the title that a dealer could fix. AAR has a dealers license so JR made a couple videos and sent the title headaches to AAR.
A perfect "teenager's first car"! I wish I could have found something like that for my children's first car!
My youngest brother's first car was a 2002 Diamante. It was a really nice car until the transmission went out after a few years. He got his money's worth out of it for sure though. He still talks about how much he misses that car to this day.
True dat. My youngest nearly ruined the car we got for him -- always curbing the wheels, backed into a parking lot post a couple times at school. Kids who are not into cars are rough on cars. No need to get them something nice.
@@97I30Ti've had a burnt copper-red ex-rental 6/2003 TL Diamante Wagon for the last thirteen and a half years now and don't want to change it for anything else, so nicely it drives on the open road, and it's just as quick as a Beemer 330Ci. Mind you the engine has undergone a few Ralliart Plus changes, but is still normally aspirated. The Mitsi 6G74 engine is a marvel of engineering in my opinion. One of the most under-rated modern car in history probably.
Pouring turds from a bottle into a turd of a vehicle and selling it to a turd of a person, the circle is complete.
Damn, haters gonna hate…
Haha, bit harsh on the mitsi…
Don’t worry about the timing belt, it’ll drive anywhere!
It's an interference engine if that helps
Did some research on this junker and apparently it was abandoned at an adult book store in Perry, OK. Previous owner? Scotty Kilmer.
I love that 7.3 noise. Best diesel sound!
You guys together are a riot!!!! I would be laughing my ass off I worked there!
Randy still working on his 5th chin for 2022. Love you fatso.
WOW, that was a light touch-up and quick flip. Good for you.
....really, he lost money. I'm curious what would be a bad flip in that alternate universes you inhabit?
@@marksbikeexports5123 He didn't really lose money. Remember, his primary goal is to make videos. That's how he makes money, not by flipping cars or Turo'ing cars. That $400 was just an expense for the content for his channel. If he got his investment money back by selling it to Randy, then that's just gravy on top.
The Blue Devil oil stop leak works - swelled up the gaskets in our 130,000 mile Chrysler van enough to stop a leak that was losing a half quart a month. Garage wanted 1100 to replace the intake and manifold gaskets.
Tried the main seal repair goop on my Neon and it didn't work, BUT when I took it to a trustworthy local shop and he thought it was the oil pan but when he tore it apart the rear main barely was still in and fell out. It would use a full quart in 5 miles and every time I stopped it would leave a puddle. I didn't even have to really change the oil after it was fixed as it just threw it all out as I drove it and topped it off. It did have about 170k at that point and a collapsed hose on the pcv system so was probably the high miles and a pressurized block.
Good to see Monkey Wrench Mike , love his YT channel. He's a funny guy with great content.
Seeing these comments is crazy! Thanks for the shoutout Jimmy!
@@MrMikeyBBrooks You're welcome Mike! Hang in there, you have great content, It's just a matter of time and your channel will blow up..
Great too see Randy and Mike too😀
Sorry to see you sold it to Randy. He really screwed Weird Beard over and i'll never watch him again.
You still have no idea what happened... sad to see it...
@@ThatAirsoftguy16 Could you fill me in? I have seen Weird Beard's video and he was almost in tears.
@@marcykaren He screwed Randy over too. It was sad to see it happen.
@@docgiggles130 I did not see that and I will admit that I am probably biased because I do enjoy Weird Beard's videos more because of their content. Randy has a different audience and I can understand that.
These videos are always wonderful!
JR A+, Love Mike's personable videos...Dandy is a snake.
Hi I'm using a block and head gasket sealer on my car now for 3 years my car had a blown head gasket and a old man told me to use it and I were amazed the funny thing is I haven't fixed the head gasket I have a full bottle in my car and I have convinced other people to have a bottle even in there new cars for al the long trips that stuff is a life saver and it works quickly and it holds for up to 5,6 months then I just use a new bottle and I haven't had side effects no blockages nothing ,nothing just good service 😁
Hiya, back in the day STP sold engine oil leak stopper/ engine improvers, was as thick as treacle or runny honey but it worked, but, an old LANDROVER tip before they came full of modern cr^p electrickery was add some old style brake fluid into the power steering tank and IT STOPPED the fluid leaking by swelling all the oil seals..Worked on my old 1991 Discovery 200 DTi turbo diesel.. Thanks for the video -- Ian --UK.
Always great seeing Monkey Wrench Mike out there 🙂 One of the big Mercedes CZcamsrs
Thanks Brian!!
"no. I've never put stop leak in any of my cars....." There for a split second I almost believed him ;-) Randy will have fun with that DSM - it's the content that keeps on giving! best of luck!
It's not a DSM since it was built in Australia not normal illnois
I see what you did there. Shine on you crazy Diamomte! 👍😎
Good to see Randy again
Man ! Very Quick these guy's are !!! Have a good one all !! 206 SEATTLE
Love seeing the cheaper cars are still a big part of the channel.
Cool to see Monkey Wrench Mike in the episode as well!
Thank you!!
I love the look of these with their pillar less coupe looking roofline
I just added a bottle of AT-205 in my 2009 Ford Escape V6 with 165,000 miles because I have a small drip from the timing cover and oil pan.
Fingers crossed and I hope it works because it's at least a six-hour job to repair.
I had a 1987 Plymouth Grand Fury back in the 90s that had a heavy radiator leak 20 miles from home. A bottle of Bars Leak and that radiator went to the scrapper a couple of years later with the car. No more leaks, no problems. And no more car either. 😜. But as always, your mileage may vary. I lucked out.
Berryman transmission and power steering sealer saved my 2004 Nissan Murano from a trip to the junk yard. It`s been a year and still no leaks. Everyone will not have the same results, but that is mine with this product.
"Do we get to call this 'Samcracing' it?" 🤣🤣🤣
400 comments and over 80 of them basically say Randy sucks, that has to be some sort of record.
Monkey Wrench Mike is awesome
Can’t believe you didn’t introduce monkey wrench Mike!
Best stuff for old grill fix
I used Barrs on a head gasket leak. It stopped the leak and it was never a problem again. Sold the car yrs later.
Great video watchjrgo u did what u could with the Mitsubishi and it great seeing u hanging with autoauctionrebuilds a d monkey wrench Mike you all are great youtubers I hope to get my channel as great as yalls keep up the great u do
Mitsubishi was a well respected brand back in the 80s and 90s. Now, they gotta work hard to get back their establishment.
Get in there, Mike. Don't be shy.
HAPPY NEW YEARS EVERYONE
I didn’t even realize it was already NYE 😳
Nice shot st Sam!
I had an 04 Diamante that was one of my favorite cars. It was in awesome shape and I drove it a few years but parts were getting tough to get so I sold it while it was still worth something.
Monkey Wrench Mike!!!!!!!! He has a an affinity for Mercedes like Alex. I always tell him to get in touch with Alex for his cars. One of my favorite Automotive CZcamsrs besides you and Jake. Mike is the man.
I was wondering if that was him. Awesome!
Mike is the man......Fuck me sideways, congratulations way to announce to the would you have little to no clue. As for a affinity like Alex, you have confirmed you have noooooooo clue.
@@marksbikeexports5123 Wow man, you like let your full prescription run dry or are you just rationing what you have left and white-knuckling it until then?
Thanks Clif!
@@clifbradley one is a fully trained MB tech, the other a newscaster who likes to fiddle with cars.........they are not even on the same league. Enjoy your life in the Truman show
I wanted it, should have mailed you right away. Damn! I need a relatively cheap car, mine blew up Christmas Eve, on the way to a gig. Volvo V70, loved it, but cracked block. Maybe next one you get.
You got a point there. Maybe it is better to buy an old car than rent a car. Last time I check, one day rental was like $300 in November. It’s insane. People end up renting trucks at Home Depot.
Please clean up the dump truck, can't wait to see it!
Great crossover video! JR with AAR and Monkey Wrench Mike! ✌️
I had this exact same car in the exact same color..and had the exact same clearcoat fade on the top surfaces... it was a good car. And you are right.. u never see them anymore...once in a blue moon.
I was waiting for that title
Hey Jr Randy sent us.
I used the rear main seal stop leak on my civic and it worked.
Shine On You Crazy Diamante. Yes. I caught the Pink Floyd reference to Shine On You Crazy Diamond. Excellent.
“Sam Crac’ing it” you heard it here first lol
I died on SAMCRACKING it HAHAHAHA
Tried stop leak as a temporary fix for a leaky steering rack in my youngest's car. A few days later, the seals blew out both ends. Left two trails of power steering fluid up the driveway pulling it in. I never trusted stop leak before, and this is why I won't pour that rubbish into any of my cars in the future. And fingers are crossed that rubbish didn't harm anything else in the system. (A year and a half later, no further issues.)
AT205 is the only stuff that's worked for me. I mostly use it on auto transmissions but I've heard of people using for power steering too.
They aren’t all bad. Lucas makes good stop leak products. Plus the metal shavings for the coolant will actually stop coolant leaks but I’d only use it on hoopties.
Blue Devil and some Restore, best additive out there. That stuff won't last.
Sometimes they quickly come and quickly go. Someone will have fun with the Diamante.
dang son JR busted out the "SamCrack Fix"
love how your faq in the desc still says you're in college 😄
I have one is a good car smooth drive just gotta keep it maintain always check on it but either then that I like it a lot my first car at 18 stay safe🙏
GOOP! use it to hold the front grill together.
Stop leak power steering works!!
Would have been cool to give Monkey Wrench Mike a shout out . . . maybe there is more to come ?? . . .
Hey there is definitely a market for da hoopde
Yeah. I agree. Cut losses.
Thick adhesive great on old grills.
Monkey Wrench Mike makes a cameo. Great channel. Put your Mercedes hats on.
And be on stand -by for a Bentley.
🤞🤞
Keep the rally cap on Mike. You'll be at 50,000 subs by June. Interesting content
About time you sold that relic and et on to projects that are more fun.
Would have been fun to see the Diamante get back to a good daily driver type car.
I am glad y0ou and Randy have teamed up, you both are the only ones that took the time to send my car plates reprenting your states.
I know there just license plates but I enjoy them on the walls of my man cave garage, I hope to get better and ger back working in the garage. Right now I am still recovering.
Got to love Mitsubishi using different whack names all over the world for their mass produced popular cars.
Its a Mitsubishi Magna - trim level is a "Verada" here in Australia
The good trick if the car springs a coolant leak in the outback is to apply straight into the top rad-filler a decent amount of Oz urea blended with copious denatured Foster's and that thick junk mix gunks-up small pinhole leaks fast in just a few minutes, but you have to be careful fatty-the-worm doesn't get a burn - as overheated rad is bloody hot!!!
That rabbit in your garage gets me all the time…..
I probably own one of the nicest 98 Diamantes still in existance. runs good too.
I wish he did drive it back to Okie. It would have been an interesting trip.
The power-steering stuff works
I put stop leak in our 02 LeSabre power steering pump and it literally shelled the pump, scorched the pulley bearing and it got so hot it was glowing red and smoking, was pretty worried bout the car going up in flames, not to mention it heat warped the serpentine belt ad well, thank goodness I had an extra belt cause it snapped twenty miles from my home, and I was able to limp the car home
You didn't present Monky wrench mike. 🤔
Would have been awesome if you got the vrx version
Yup, the VR-X is way cool! 🍻
Blue devil Power steering stop leak works I put in a 2000 Infiniti I 30 and it stopped leaking it was spraying some hot out of the main hose
