51:15 That laugh....
That's it folks, Randy has finally lost his mind! 😅😁🤣
Hehehe!
Over a Chevy no less! 😂
Lol. Yes ur absolutely right.
300 degrees dang Randy you could have slow cooked a brisket in that engine bay 😂
omg i love brisket!!!
I bought a fully loaded cruze LTZ for $1500 with 100k miles. It had a blow Head gasket. Replaced the whole motor for $2,000. And now for $3500 total I have a perfect running $7,000 cruze lol. Sometimes it’s worth it to roll the dice
With almost 300K miles, I would check the catalytic converter. A clogged converter will cause the heating problem. I’ll bet that if you replace it you would be good unless your pushing it over the limit trashed the engine.
It’s a GM product. That car is very lucky it hit the mileage that it did.
"TOASTY!" As TK would say 🤣
😅🤣🤣😂👍💯
I would keep the battery and put a junk one in it.
I mean it needs an engine, a battery is going to be the least of anybody's concerns. I might even sell it right to the junkyard, you might get more money out of it than sending it back to auction.
When I attended SUNY Morrisville one of the professors had a hobby of buying old clunkers and just letting them run with a brick on the pedal to see how long before they'd blow up.
The best story on one of those was a late 70s Nova with an inline six. They did all kinds of stuff to it trying to kill it, coolant added to the oil, etc. but it was so sloppy that it would just heat up until the pistons would lock up... then once cooled down it would start up again.
I bet those batterys are not cheap either !
At this point I agree. It is going back as a non runner.
If he put no battery in it he would be giving someone the same clue he looks for 😂 I would list it as catastrophic engine damage no one deserves to be surprised by that again. Hopefully someone needs it as a parts car
@@Duckswag87 A junkyard will buy it and part it out. There is no category like that. It either runs or it doesn't. A battery at this point won't matter. He might as well keep it to offset what loss he is going to take.
The only one making out in these transactions is the auction place.
@@mexicanspec I was merely joking about his take on cars without batteries. You’re probably spot on with your estimation
I remember at one time Randy said to all of us: "Never, ever buy a vehicle "sight unseen" .......hahahaha..... Randy... you make me laugh so much....:) Love your videos!
Yes, and here is the explanation of why lol. Great video Randy, agree 100% that's the best course for that car, it's already cooked why not make it well done before it goes to hell.
Q
It has a blown headgasket to because it takes long to get it running
260,000 miles on a Chevy Malibu? It was a win for someone.
Agreed
As long as its not the V6 It can make it that far with a good service record ? The V6 NOPE !!
@@brettjeffries7322 I’m shocked either can make it!
It was a win for scrap yard .
I agree.
That damn thing sounded like a diesel by the time you got to your place 🤣
My little ‘05 boxy Malibu just hit 200k miles on its 2.2L Ecotec 4 cylinder engine. Just retired it as my daily driver with a ‘21 Malibu LT 1.5L Ecotec. I hope to clear 200k with it too.
It was a salvageable car. Heavy foot, and carelessness killed it.
I wouldn't touch a used Hybrid in a million years
Unless its a decent Prius i would not either !
Volkswagen Golf GTE is a decent hybrid. Pretty good and very fast cars
wont have one new
TRU DAT TOO !!!!
Sometimes you just have to laugh and fine humor in life in whether it’s cars or just life. Laughing is like a medicine to your soul .
Afternoon Randy Lee Shear Of Auto Auction Rebuilds
For once Randy you should have left one at IAA !! 😅😅😅 Come on a 260,000 mile GM Hybrid !! That alone plus even Jessica saying HELL NO ! 🤔😅😅😅
Would love to see you fix the back bumper on the freightliner, put your logo on it, and drive it around from time to time.
The chevy that broke Randy! His laughter towards the end was really painful.
That door was 'Upside-down', LOL!
Oil coolent sensor and maybe blue devil fix !
I would keep the box truck and use it to move to your new place.
You have an AIR block in your cooling.
So the next time Jessica says “I don’t think it’s a good idea” are you going to listen! 😂 Probably not!! 😂
Well one bad one out of all the good buys ain’t bad. This Malibu is just a Paper Weight I think. 😎👍🇨🇦
Yeah usually when it's bubbling like that that means the head gaskets gone so under pressure is getting into the cooling system
I’m sorry Randy but these are your most entertaining videos when they give you trouble 😂
Poor Malibu fighting as hard as she can to run! Clearly the last owner wasn’t the regular maintenance type…
Yeah I had a 2003 Nissan Altima and I was trying to take my dad to work and it died right on the green light and It was still rolling but I had to pull into the dollar tree parking lot but some people got out of their car and came to help me out and pushed me in the parking lot big shout out to them thanks so much God bless your a lifesaver
Hey Randy next time please bring the trailer please every time you buy a car
Also a plugged up catalytic converter would cause overheating and it would cause it to run crappier and crappier the Longview drive it and you would burn up the engine that way to.
I had one of these and it had a clogged cat twice before I sold it
a clogged cat makes your cat run like shit on the highway but rarely do they overheat if your cooling system works. i drove around with a clogged cat for days with no overheating
Wrong thirty-five years of experiences tells me so.
@@williamwilson9407 you’ve been alive longer than 35 years and can’t spell simple words, so taking your advice would be a waste of time
That's a voice response on the phone but you probably wouldn't know that because you haven't been around that long.
Wow who would ever thought it would go up to 321 degrees. I agree with you the car is finished.🤪 sorry the car ended your winning streak. In my opinion you make good choices. 😀❤🔥
321 OK. Now new engine and a new battery or simply the car is done then again one toasty Malibu with a hybrid system that don't work.
I bet that Chevy has some valuable cats on it
Lol , i love seeing Randy having some fun 🤣😂🔥
Randy's absolutely evil laugh compilation:
48:41
48:59
51:15
To be fair 267k miles on GMs worst engine in a hybrid that doesn't tell you its over heating until its dead is pretty impressive.
Yeah I was pretty surprised it got to 260,000 miles. On a Chevy Hybrid? Of course we don’t know what all was done to it over the years.
I'm surprised it made it to the FENCE of the destination, but I already knew it was a bad buy when it has a hybrid vehicle with nearly 300k miles, then I was extremely like HELL NAW when I saw someone that most likely doesn't know what they're doing messed with the electrical, but like 0.4% of me was like, at least its most likely wiring of the hybrid system.
Turn the heater on and it'll take the temperature down
Do it again on something
@@lancehigdon8683 randy had the heat on in this video he said it was cold outside
Boyer motors turning over at kasbah not quite few times before.
Chevy is known for fender coming out in the front I had 2016 Impala LT had the same issue before I sold it two months ago to buy my new used 2019 XTS Cadillac Platinum
Hey randy you should get an adapter that goes on the front of you truck that has like padding so when one of these cars breaks down Jessica can just push you out of the way on the the emergency lane or you can just put a tire but idk 🙂
Why not just have Jessica pull the trailer as she follows him along. That way he gets the “will it make it” content and could load it on the trailer if hit breaks down to get home.
I thought he had one or two trailers. He needs at least one. That would have saved the day here
You always said never buy sight unseen, now you have a paperweight. Great parts car though. Junkyard will give you $400 maybe $500 since it’s a hybrid. Recoup some of your losses.
Well for him it’s not really a loss, he’s making a lot of money from this videos, and normally junk cars videos bring more views
It's funny the cranking noise that car makes is a classic "broken down car" quip noise
I loved when u dumped the water on the engine and said that should cool it down. 😂.
Overheating when it's full tells me the thermostat is stuck...
This would be a great car for Uncle Rich! To make a hybrid into an all electric car!
Just imagine Leenda lying all over it trying to make it look sexy, haha
you have to change the cylinder head gasket and make a groove.
Wow that one is done
I had one of those as a rental car back when it was almost brand new. It was really nice. The government, and whoever else, got some miles out of that one.
I did too!
That was definitely a fun video lol. And I agree that motor was on its way out from the start
I thick that the head gasket is bad, but the noise that is doing is the water pump and posible the thermostat is bad or stuck
I like the upside down door in the pump house.
I'd like to see another video attempting to fix everything on that car
Highly doubt that, he doesn't REBUILD anything anymore, he just buys them and sends them to another action.
Damn We don't get gm cars in Pakistan but dang that thing wants to blow up.
You need a toolbox in the bed of your truck? 😂😂😂
And if your moving I'd hold on to the box truck your going to need it
The hybrid battery might be worth some good money to the right person
Randy pulling a WhistlinDiesel 🤣
anytime i’m having a down day i come back and watch some of my fav old videos from you lol!! always great videos Randy.
Toast. No jelly.
From everything I saw so far, I would lean towards thermostat. At the point where you pulled off the road near the fence, I would have called a tow and saved the engine because even if it needed a head gasket, still cheaper than blowing the engine and having a useless pile of junk because it seemed to run really good when it ran. JMO. Hope you can maybe fix this or at least get your money back out of it in scrap or parts. Good luck Randy.
May sound awful but that was AWESOME
TY as always Randy and Jessica.
Those ecotec engines actually run at 225 normally
Really enjoyed the video Randy!! Loved seeing you have fun destroying that car! LOL
Let’s have a moment of silence for that starter 😂
Most durable part on the car, should take that off before scrapping it maybe mount it on a plaque (or sell it to someone who needs a starter, since it's plainly invincible)
With that auto stop thing they have to be tough
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Oh boy Randy I surprised it got you home. Go get junk yard motor for it and donate it
For Auto-Stop it should start back up when you put your feet on the gas but it should be a button!
Try taking the plastic cover off the motor and that might help you out
that motor is gone a little 1/2 inch plastic cover is not going to help in the slightest.
It helped me
“I didn’t know they made them” man, I swear. I have a 2011 4CYL still going strong. 💪🏾
Had a 2008 Cobalt, I am by no means a Chevy fan but that was one of the best cars I've ever owned. 10 years and 150k, minimal issues (under $150 in parts in 10 years excluding oil changes and etc). But the transmission started to lose OD so I traded it in haha.
Mine lasted 197,000 miles.
@@organrick mine currently has 156,564 miles. Got it when it first came out.
@@johnl3230 I honestly never had any problems with it except for my blower motor resistor. Other than that, regular maintenance kept it going to this day.
@@stereo98the 2.2 still ran like a clock. Glad you had gl with yours!
When you moved in that house I remember you where exited.
The Malibu actually came with a turbo too!
You should do one of these a month Randy that was good content I stayed for the whole video.
Yeah same here. It was fun to watch!
Who else noticed the Monte Carlo that looks like the one he sent to auction
It was his monte I bought it. And met him before picking up this car.
@@richardbeckett5580 congrats that seemed like it was gonna be a great car
It will eventually need the engine replaced. Got a cam bearing going bad.
@@richardbeckett5580 that sucks
@@richardbeckett5580 you should try to find a supercharged 3800 to put in it.
I think that they should turn in the car to the dealership and fix the hybrid part of the engine.
I think that you take it to the dealership. Randy.
I always liked the way those Malibus looked, wouldve been a great deal if ran good.
I like those Malibus too... Much better looking than the ones that came after (2011 I think?). And the 2.4 is usually a good engine. I have almost that many miles on a Chevy Cobalt with the 2.4 and can't even imagine it having these kind of problems.
Yeah I admit they are good looking cars I’d daily drive it when it’s working it seems like a comfortable fun car to drive
Probably a water pump or thermostat.
Maybe the Head gasket might be cracked
What can i say its a GM, air in cooling, blown head gasget, Randy remember 7 series BMW, you alway good for a giggle
or maybe it's not the head gasket, but a faulty thermostat
We learned today to also to stay away from hybrids.
I agree with everyone that laugh!
Lovely back yard with the water and bridge but if your paying $2500 a month and the landlords are doing questionable things on the property I agree it's time to go.
Hellcat is nice but loud in the neighborhood. Neighbors daughter had one and it rattled the windows on everyone's house. She moved on to a Jeep Cherokee.
Keep the Ram and that nice trailer.
Its a good thing when you can laugh at a failure I think thats great
The Fed X truck rocks!
I was impressed with your clever decision to keep that FedEx truck to do the moving and save the hustle and the money renting one.
But knowing you now over many years, I believe that you will take a smart decision as always and in this case I assume that you would hire someone to do the moving work for you and it is a good decision also because your time worth more than couple hundred dollars and giving somebody a chance to make a living too.
I love your Videos and specially the encouraging ones and the credit cards Video is very motivating and I used what your father told you to give my depressed GF some hope and positivity but sadly you removed it.
He'll also make about 5K selling it. Win-win.
@@jack002tuber I wish too but in an Auction who knows what would happened
Now time to paint it hot pink! The hot pink Malibu of doom!
That starter motor sounds like a 1988 dodge spirit
He got that running and driving diesel Malibu.
Those end loaders do a LOT of damage, ALL THE TIME!!!! WTF??? COPART!!!!
I’m impressed that this car made it that long! I guess this one is a do as I say not as I do. I had a thought about the Freight Liner , why not put the engine and transmission in the old GMC? Kinda like a retro mod.
Could just set the GMC cab right down on the freightliner chassis and have a complete modern drivetrain, would make a hell of a car hauler.
The gmc isn’t legal that’s why he didn’t do anything to it
@@braden6402 there's ways to fix the title issues, especially on a truck that old
I’m not sure how people get their custom vehicles registered from bits and pieces of other vehicles but I think it would be the same way if you combined these two vehicles and then Randy would be able to do something with the old body of the GMC instead of it just sitting there gathering rust. Yes it would be cool to get it going with all the original parts but that has been unsuccessful in getting the title done. So maybe it would make it possible to come up with one very cool vehicle out of the two? I would certainly love to have an old looking truck with modern guts! That might be a cool name for the truck? “Modern Guts”! I also think Randy is up to the challenge! If he’s interested?
Just drain the pool down below the turn drains no further, emptying a pool can cause THOUSANDS in damages u can use a shop van on your pump to blow the water out of the returns and skimmer
The cooling system probably never got bled, it had an air pocket. That is why it took so long to get hot
When you opened the coolant tank it left the air out
I so much enjoyed this one! You can only get so many good ones before you get a dud. But the duds make for more laughs, more suspense, more drama, all that. CZcams gold! Damn GM to end your streak! LMFAO!
Sounds like a water pump problem, it's a heck of a job on those engins
Esp the ones people abuse so much before you start in on fixing it
@@jack002tuber right ? someone beat the shit out of this in a short period of time considering it was perfectly maintained by the government before .
Also catalytic converter may be clogged up
The Malibu needs a trip to the Chevy dealer for a hybrid service. People get rid of them when they need that.
Old joke was, "You have a good battery. Maybe you should push a car under it."
When is the wedding? You’ve had a fiancé for way too long. 🤷🏻♀️
I am simply crazy about that Land Rover. It Beautiful mate. My grand father used to drive one of those. They are built like tanks.👍👍😎😎😀😀
Cue Scotty Kilmer's laughing horse...
A hybrid with over 200,000 miles is impressive
Hell a Chevy with over 200,000 miles is impressive 😂
priuses get over 200k all the time…chevys? another story
I remember looking at a new 09 Vue hybrid with the same engine/hybrid, there was no real reason to buy one as the hybrid system seemed to do nothing other than the stop/start, fuel mileage was nearly the same yet it cost thousands of dollars more. No wonder GM went bankrupt wasting their time on something this useless
they went bankrupt because they build crap...nothing lasts
@@baldisaerodynamic9692 This car has almost 300K on it. It lasted.
One reason they also went bankrupt was due to the crap Roger Smith started in the 80’s.
@@baldisaerodynamic9692 Obama bailed them out and they somehow built worse shit than before, at least the pre-09 GM’s looked okay and Pontiac still existed
@I B and we know nothing about its history, or maybe this one just happened to last. GM vehicles are trash tho.
What the hell is the use of frying this engine that way?? It could be a good commuter car, but needs some work on it.. really hammering on t, really makes no sense.. havent been this disappointed in a long while
