With two back seats and 18mpg, that would not make the worst family hauler!
You’re on to something
@@SoosRamirez1 wow its literally a brand new car...sheesh
Randy this car is related to a Buick Lucerne. My neighbor has a 2011 Lucerne and the fuse box under the rear seat melts the plastic where the fuel pump relay goes. We went through 2 fuse boxes that melted the terminal where the fuel pump relay plugs in so we bought a separate 30 amp universal relay and wired it directly to the battery and directly to the wire that leads to the fuel pump that was removed from the factory fuse box. I put a stand alone 30 amp fuse between the new relay and the battery bus bar next to the battery. I think the computer supplies a ground signal for closing the relay so you tie the 86 terminal to the 12 volt power and the other wire i think is black w a blue stripe went to the other side of the magnetic coil in the relay. When you switch the ignition switch on the computer sends a ground out and the relay latches and the fuel pump runs a few seconds then shuts off till you start the car. I did this 2 years ago and they are still driving it daily . 3 places could not figure out why the car died all the time! I can send you a diagram of what I did to fix this very common problem.
This issue almost caused my parents to get divorced 😂. Issue showed up while they were visiting my sister (Louisville KY area to Decatur GA.) My dad burned through 16 relays and was on the phone searching for more while my mom called a hotshot broker and finally got it picked up. A Meineke full service center figured it out and said it’s super common. Replaced the fuse block and it’s been fine since.
@@thedant21 GM quality! I'd like to know what the engineer who designed that was smoking!
I think you got a lot better deal on that Cadillac limo than you did on the 76 hootie Cadillac
It actually sounds pretty good even with the flex pipe
What a score. The seats are worth what you paid for the car.
The limo is in good shape great job fixing the exhaust. Your mom is going to be surprised.
Prom season toooo
On the other hand with 29,000 miles it should run great
Two Cadillacs in the workshop at the same time. Nice! 👍
What you wanna bet sombody stole the converter while it was in a parking lot they came back out fired it up and it sounded like that and they just gave ip on it.
Maybe somewhere in da hood
This is what you would call an Executive or Funeral Limousine.
Presidential 🇺🇲
The BEAST
@@JunkerDriver999 he should drive around town with a guy dressed in sunglasses with a few flags on front bumper. BEAST II
@@JunkerDriver999 Obama came to town had two caddy's like this parked on hiway blocked by cones and guys in long jackets with bulges underneath.....you did not cross the cones to get a better look at limo....OR. ELSE!!!!
Yeah he's clueless af
I for one really enjoyed this video. Having been in the business i miss driving them but enjoyed watching you drive it. Eureka is a very reputable coachbuilder. Enjoy this car.
I bet they modified the AC to stretch the car and it has a small leak somewhere, I love that dash cluster.
I am very proud of you for having the garage door open when you started your limo.
Makes a great Power Tour support vehicle with a large shrimp cooler in the back seat full of iced down drinks for the long road trip.
Don't forget the shrimp cocktail with the cold snacks! 😊😊😊
@@carlbernard4197 Shrimp cocktail or ice cold Corona beer take your pick, 99 cents, but that was Las Vegas in 1985.
Why the shrimp? 🍤
@@42luke93 because shrimp coolers are very long and can hold a lot more cold drinks than a regular cooler.
Grey Poupon?
I really like the direction that you're putting these videos for the last couple days I like the fact that you're getting yourself into will it run after sitting I think it will be a great learning experience for you and a great experience for the future for the channel also get well soon I hope your stomach feels better I am also dealing with similar issues I currently have a stomach ulcer and it really sucks
Love the new intro! Thanks Randy!
i had a 1998 cadi limo years ago, drove it for years before it broke down and was not worth fixing. i loved that car. would love to get another one one day!
This one will be for sale shortly
Looks like another winner, Randy. Congrats.
I love it Randy, what a gem. You're mom will love it too. 😊🙏👍
Love the intro man! Super low mileage, can’t wait to see if it runs!
7:27 DANG!! Sorry about the missing cats, Randy. That's happened to me on more than one occasion with a Copart car. My most recent one was with a 2010 mustang GT. What makes missing cats even WORSE is that even if you find used ones at the wrecking yard, they can't sell them to you!! Nor can people sell them on ebay unless they are generically listed as scrap metal with nothing identifying which car they fit. THANKS, federal government! I hope you can get her running to pick your mom up. What a sweet thing to do!!!
🐈🐈🐈
@@kc0lif 😂🤣😂
Loving the limo Randy. I would love to play with that one with a few interior mods. Thanks Mate. Keep 'em coming.
All this Caddy content 😎 and sick new intro!
Thanks man. More to come soon lol.
Hi Al, are you going to have any videos coming out?
I would totally drive this to my factory job.
Coolest guy at the factory
Band clamp would have worked awesome to connect that flex pipe
Thank you for another excellent video. It is good to see you winning again.
I love your new intro it is so cool
I knew someone who drove these for a living. He got an assigned car with regular clients and was responsible for coordinating maintenance. He did lots of interstate travel so he had an MC number and he kept it well maintained as DOT inspected it regularly.
Love the new video intro.
Love the videos Randy, keep em coming much love
Always great seeing a new video from Randy!
Hey, Randy great video keep up the good work.
Oh boy 10 years is pretty long 😂. Love a Liko, kinda how I found you. Keep it up randy er love it!
Great video Randy. Love the new intro too!
Awesome vid Randy!!
I had a 1963 Cadillac Hearse made by Eureka. They were the second best coach company just behind S&S until 1964 when they went out of business.
Awesome limo and video😎🔥
Nothing better than a shade tree mechanic like the one in this video.
Being a "shade tree mechanic" is a badge of honor in my book.
that was great Rebuilds, I love the Caddy 👍
Love the New intro!!!
Awesome video. Very enjoyable
I’ve been a professional chauffeur for 34 years and I loved this episode. Just one thing that you forgot to mention, which is who is the coach builder, Royal? superior? Krystal? I personally have two superior hearses, a ‘61 and a’73. and one ‘64 S&S hearse.
Eureka.
Eureka is the builder. At the time, they were part of Accubuilt which Superior and Sayers and Scovill were a part of.
Great thinking 🤔 with those steel zip ties Randy! Would you like a 2008 Dodge Caliber for some content? It needs the shock tower bracket welded back to the back right side frame!
Nice work ❤
Love the intro/outro upgrades
Wow what a sweet car for the money! You got a great deal on this one Randy and that interior looks so amazing other than the drivers side knee bolster being not attached. Looking forward to more videos on this one. What a score!
Good 1 randy , like the stretch.
Love the new intro Randy
Hi Randy, I get all my car batteries at the junkyard, they are usually $20-$30 with core, and some of them are fairly new. It saves me a lot of money, especially on a flip car!
Perfect road trip car 👏🏽
That's actually not a limousine that's actually called a funeral car? It carries the families when the decedent's families would ride in it. The more you know LOL
You're confusing a hearse with a limousine. A hearse typically resembles a station wagon using either a factory station wagon body or converted by an aftermarket company. That casket isn't going to fit into a standard limousine's trunk area, which is the reason for the rear station wagon style bodystyle. Additionally, this Cadillac is a unibody car, and isn't likely to have the structural strength to carry a heavy casket, so for a hearse, the body is either fitted to a body on frame type of vehicle or even a truck frame is used.
Looks very close to the one a local funeral home has near where I live. That one is a Lincoln, not a Cadillac for sure
Limousine/funeral lol that’s why you never see a true Christian at a funeral-scared beyond belief
@@carlbernard4197Lincoln would have 100%better engine that’s a fact
@@houseofnoHearse, flower car and this caddy are all funeral cars
This Limo, is surprisingly in good shape!
for your ac issue besides the leak . its blowing not 100% cold on the drivers side because you need just a knt hair more of 134 and that will fix it .
Beautiful car. I used to see the Boeing elite driven in this model around the factory. It has an alluring shape. Good buy.
Nice new into
I love the Cadillac Limo. Happy birthday to your mom.
Love the new intro
It would be a temptation to use four upholstery screws with plastic snap covers to hold that knee bolster on.
Happy Mother's day to your mom and your sister Randy 🎉🎉🎊🎊
Great car and you also choose great cars☺️
Looks like a funeral home's limo. Great looking and great vid. Good score Randy!
Nice intro!!
Nice family cruiser she’s a keeper
I like the new intro by the way
Very cool Caddy.
Awesome content as usual bud how about a carnage video soon
Love your videos Randy. Kind of miss the old outro music
Looks presidential......THE BEAST
Hello randy I look forward to your videos every day
Nice caddy. How about the other caddy keep up the great work Randy
That is going to be a expensive catalytic converter I think. Otherwise that is one heck of a buy for certain 😊😊😊
@@carlbernard4197- You can get that converter for $140
Nice Caddy
I wouldn’t trust any GM built car with my life (haha) but something about the 3 doors is very enticing! If I had fun time money I would definitely be considering it for road trips with friends and such
Nice car. Randy
the piece falling under the steering column is almost comedic, i had a 2003 deville and that’s same piece fell off on my feet going over a speed bump once 😂
love the intro nice car
I'd drive this.
This is super cool.
nice one 🙂
Randy have a Cadillac converter put on and detailed it ,frank in Oswego,il
This is one of your best scored deals yet. A car like that fixed up here in the NE with that low of mileage & notable adjustments to the Northstar engine makes this car worth at least $15,000! Even tho I like the older 76 cadillac, that one was overpaid for it's condition.
You can get a shorter version of the metal 'zip' ties at Harbor Fright. I've used them to secure tie rod boots
Randy, I am surprised that you don't have a pipe expander for doing exhaust work. They are not that expensive to buy and they pay for themselves quickly.
Good morning Randy from @Auto Action Rebuild
Hey Fluffy!
@@AutoAuctionRebuilds I enjoy this video keep up the great work you do on the channel
@@AutoAuctionRebuilds love watching interesting videos like this on different type of vehicles as well as watching box trucks motorhomes off-road vehicles
They also use those straps. when you wrap your headers that's what keeps the wrap together on the pipe. FYI.
Like the new intro
Finally, a new opening.
Were you in Augusta, GA today in a parking lot behind the Panda Express? Swore I saw the exact same car today lol.
Love your videos, AARH needs some love. Needs some paint.
Hello Randy. The 2004 Cadillac Lemosine is a good looking car. Let's see if it will run and drive.
It has three blend door actuators under the dash. The one that’s messed up is on the right so you can get to it from the passenger side footwell. You can take the thing apart carefully, clean it & lube it up and it will probably work fine for a while, but they only cost $18-20 so you may as well replace it and not have to lay on your back down the road (assuming that you do keep the car)
Funny enough this would make for a great family sedan.
fancy new intro👍
son i would daily that thing!!!!! i absolutely love it!!!!!!!
The blend door actuator is working but it's weak. I literally had the same issue and just changed mine.
Dont mix dexcool with other coolant that would total the car
Sludge
I saw Green inside the tank, sadly.
That is a fresh cut on the exhaust pipe. Nice score tho
That was my first thought
If it has dual climate, the whole AC issue may be that the previous owners mistook a partially bad actuator for a bad AC. GM used really crappy parts, a two piece metal and plastic gear that was known to break off teeth, so it may work in one direction but not the other. If you hear any weird grinding when you try to set the temp zones, that's most likely your issue
Looks like it was use for a funeral home. Beautiful shape love it.
Nice funeral Cadi Randy 😎😎👍👍
Do I see a roof pizza sign on the table? 😂
I have had a lot of cars that have set for extended periods and when the electric windows stick I would hold the button for the window down and slam the door panel with my fist a few times and most of them would work . They just stick from setting to long and just need to be jarred a little. The air conditioning has been extended with probably extra freon hoses and I guess to check where are routed and you will probably find a problem . Probably where the extra core for the freon in the back is loose or punctured. when you get the electric windows down lubricate the window channels with like a motel size bar of soap and make them slick,, then raise them up and down a few times they will work much easier.
