51:15 That laugh.... That's it folks, Randy has finally lost his mind! 😅😁🤣

260,000 miles on a Chevy Malibu? It was a win for someone.

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.

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 ! 🤔😅😅😅

Let’s have a moment of silence for that starter 😂

I wouldn't touch a used Hybrid in a million years

300 degrees dang Randy you could have slow cooked a brisket in that engine bay 😂

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.

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.

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

"TOASTY!" As TK would say 🤣

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!

That damn thing sounded like a diesel by the time you got to your place 🤣

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.

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 .

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.

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. 😀❤🔥

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.

It has a blown headgasket to because it takes long to get it running

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

Overheating when it's full tells me the thermostat is stuck...

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…

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.

Really enjoyed the video Randy!! Loved seeing you have fun destroying that car! LOL

That video was great fun! Thanks for being such a good sport! That's why I'll keep watching.

This would be a great car for Uncle Rich! To make a hybrid into an all electric car!

I would keep the box truck and use it to move to your new place.

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 🙂

Randy sounded like a madman laughing, that part was awesome 😂. I’d take the battery and sell the car to a junkyard, so you can get probably more money back, someone else doesn’t get stuck with it and you get to keep a new battery.

I loved when u dumped the water on the engine and said that should cool it down. 😂.

“I didn’t know they made them” man, I swear. I have a 2011 4CYL still going strong. 💪🏾

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.

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.

It was a salvageable car. Heavy foot, and carelessness killed it.

Lol , i love seeing Randy having some fun 🤣😂🔥

That was definitely a fun video lol. And I agree that motor was on its way out from the start

Randy's absolutely evil laugh compilation: 48:41 48:59 51:15

I have probably watched this video at least 15 or 20 times it’s just so fun to rewatch and see the action and the constant breakdowns you had with the Malibu all over again. I was laughing again and I needed a good laugh today since Im having a work situation and rewatching this video made a difference. There’s just so much fun and entertainment from this car that you can’t help but laugh at it. Thanks for making videos you do make a difference for me and many other people with your videos

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.

The hybrid battery might be worth some good money to the right person

Its great to see you getting beaters again. They are always good for a laugh!!!

Been waiting on this one man 🤧💪 and yeah it doesn't seem like the story is to great anymore 🤣

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.

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. KZfaq gold! Damn GM to end your streak! LMFAO!

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.

Always looking forward to different types of vehicles on ur channel

You should do one of these a month Randy that was good content I stayed for the whole video.

I always liked the way those Malibus looked, wouldve been a great deal if ran good.

Hey Randy I loved the video! I have a 2010 Chevy Malibu and I love the car. When I saw the video come out I new I had to watch it. I think you should make another video on what's wrong with the car and how much it would cost to replace everything.

You probably already know this, but for most hybrid vehicles, if the hybrid system fails, you can’t just drive on the gasoline engine because of the way the systems are integrated. One problem is what you experienced, when you stop the vehicle, the engine shuts off because the system presumes the hybrid battery will take over. Also, because you are likely not the first to overheat the vehicle, it probably has a bad head gasket by this point. This is one you can really do some rebuilding on. Hopefully, it will bring you some good viewer numbers and you will come out okay on the purchase.

Now time to paint it hot pink! The hot pink Malibu of doom!

May sound awful but that was AWESOME

Great video Randy as always. Just wanted to let you know tho the red temp light that came on was for the oil temp not the coolant temp.

You can do a video on how much you can make by parting it out. The title will be “can you buy a junk car from insurance auction and still make money by partying it out?”

I'd like to see another video attempting to fix everything on that car

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

The cooling system probably never got bled, it had an air pocket. That is why it took so long to get hot

My Guess is that its the same problem with my 06 Malibu where The Intake Manifold Gasket is blown or the head gasket is blown this case the head gasket is blown they may of put that Head gasket shit in it and Plugged the heater core of the Hoses.

Who else noticed the Monte Carlo that looks like the one he sent to auction

Old joke was, "You have a good battery. Maybe you should push a car under it."

Afternoon Randy Lee Shear Of Auto Auction Rebuilds

TY as always Randy and Jessica.

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.

Try taking the plastic cover off the motor and that might help you out

Did I just watch a episode of Whistlin Diesel ???? What’s next Randy??? Running the Hell Cat off a bridge ??? Ouch-just kiddin. Willfully tearing something up is hard to watch for us working guys. Buy hey, I’ll still tune in for the next car crash 😆 You’re the man and love the channel

Great content Randy!!!!! It deserved no less than to be put out of its misery. I couldn't stop smiling and laughing. Oh, and BTW..... that red shed door you joked about is installed upside down!!!

Randy pulling a WhistlinDiesel 🤣

Damn We don't get gm cars in Pakistan but dang that thing wants to blow up.

So the next time Jessica says “I don’t think it’s a good idea” are you going to listen! 😂 Probably not!! 😂

so proud of you for bringing at least a few tools to these finally

You have an AIR block in your cooling.

Sounds like a water pump problem, it's a heck of a job on those engins

That engine rattle noise is because its so hot it starts to diesel, the fuel ignites itself

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

Probably a water pump or thermostat.

It sounds like an old pickup truck trying to start that's carbureted 😂

When running the Chevy engine cold the engine does not seem to knock like a leaking head. You should let the engine cool down and then check to see if bubbles are seen in the cooling overflow tank to confirm a leaking head gasket.

Those end loaders do a LOT of damage, ALL THE TIME!!!! WTF??? COPART!!!!

A hybrid with over 200,000 miles is impressive Hell a Chevy with over 200,000 miles is impressive 😂

I have a 2009 Malibu LS with 211,760 miles & it drives great since I bought it a year ago.

Well Randy, time to show us your mechanical skiills.. But in a motor and eat the cost. LOL

When is the wedding? You’ve had a fiancé for way too long. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I think you broke your own winning streak on this one! Bad choice. You didn't follow your own rules on this one. Your fiancé was right. Great parts car. Should have used the hauler to take it home when you where on the side of the road. You destroyed the engine by continuing to drive it.

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

Did you bleed the cooling system after you added the water otherwise you'll cause an AIR block in the engine in the water will not circulate and you will burn the engine up by overheating it.

Your blockage is because you did not bleed the cooling system when you added the water therefore you will overheat the engine and destroy the the motor.

Listening to this guy talk like he knows what he’s talking about is hilarious

I see you got my pickup in the video. And when you left I saw my backside with the monte carlo up on the trailer.

Randy i enjoyed the hole video man this was very Entertaining this was great video randy keep on doin the great job u do

The Malibu just needs new tires and a new used engine. And a good cleaning.

Electric cars what a joke

All I could do was laugh at this video. Especially towards the end. Thx 4 the great content. I always look forward 2 ur vids.

Before you send it down the road, get a value on the catalytic converter. Sometimes they're worth more than the car itself, especially being a hybrid. The Prius converter is worth $2000 in Texas.

Randy if we're to keep the car would it be worth doing, replacing engine and sorting hybrid system?

You don't have heat, and it is more than likely overheating because of a bad thermostat. That is a super easy part to replace, and controls the flow of the radiators fluid once it has warmed up. They get stuck, and stop the free flow of the radiators fluid through the entire system.

It's really $860 + $150 for tires, + $300 for cleaning = it's really $1,700 + repairs. BUT ... This was a great drive home. IO could feel your concern trying to beat the inevitable! Best drive home EVER!
