RR Classic

Have you seen this suv/wagon kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bb2ZbM9-3bGUj30.html

I don't any more, but I had a 400 whp Trailblazer SS. It had a 4k stall converter, so I got horrible gas mileage, but it was a rocket of the lights. One night, some crew decided they needed it mare than I did. I say crew because there was no broken glass on the street an the Onstar module was thrown in a bush in front of my house.

I disagree somewhat on the sleuthing method and order of some steps , but he will eventually get there. Work on this exact kind of junk far too often. It'll run. I'm not going to finish watching tho. Good luck. Nice enough video for guys not used to this type of work. No ill will intended. L8R :-)

Great channel.. it’s like watching a Samcrac that actually knows what he’s doing lol

@@pgr0104 One is from Florida and one is from Illinois. That's all I am gonna say.

WHAT am I missing ? were they not legit before

@@danielhoward8354 always some dummy leaving comments like this lol

Yep, and I imagine there are loads of people out there like that. They don't wrench every day, to borrow a fellow YT catch phrase! 😊

@Yirlani Why say it like that? You must not drive a beater car that has over 300k miles on it lol. Why trade it when it still runs and there isn't any car payments!

For many people the cost of repair, rental car, towing, lost wages etc can be more than the cost of getting a newer car with a warranty on a payment for $200-300/month. And obviously most people don't work on their own cars whether its due to lack of knowledge/tools/time/ space to do it etc

Not really, gotta remember not everyone is capable of fixing/has the money to spend. That just makes it better for *us* when we find vehicles like this.

I bought a Q45 a few years back for $400 W/ 160K miles from an auction. It was donated to Kars for Kids, I was very skeptical when buying it but they said it ran and drove, all it needed was some decent TLC because it was neglected and abandoned just like this. I had looked into the history and found out it was a 1 owner car for most of its life, then its final few years it went to someone else and literally sat for years. Not sure where the negligence started, I suspect with the second owner, (more on that later), but when I got it, the rotors were BADLY grooved, all 4 replaced, the car had wheel locks and I think they just gave up and never replaced the rotors because they didn't have the lock, needed 2 front calipers(they were stuck), a windshield (hail), small hail dings(easy fix), alternator (died on the highway, in the middle of downtown, uphill so I couldn't change lanes, at 5pm rush hour from the auctionhouse, very fun), AC recharge, power steering was clogged, tire balance, alignment, etc. Literally just lack of maintience stuff that I fixed really fast. Car shined up VERY easily and became a super reliable car. The tires were basically brand new, dated back to right around before the car was sold. I also looked back into the maint history and found out it was taken care of pretty decently by the original owner, which is why I think it was the second owner who neglected it, tons of service going up to when he sold it. It happens though, as a commenter said, $200-$300/month is worth it to never have to maintain a car if you don't know anything about cars. More steals for us though.

He's like ''....and you needed my help why?'' lol. Nice enough neighbor to help though so

He has the magic touch lol

Totally unimpressed 🤣

Restoration/refurbishment is the greenest you can be.

Same

Thanks! I appreciate you being part of the LSC fam since the beginning.

Hoovies is literally a show for children

would be nice to see it restored properly since parts for this are nothing compared to AMG

Definitely worth restoring

I'd like to see it restored too. Even though it's just a jeep grand cherokee. It's the 5.9 magnum that makes it bad ass. They didn't make a lot of them or make them for a lot of years. I just think it's the coolest jeep. Besides the track hawk but let's be real here. That is way way out of price range.

Blight is a plant disease. Avoid eating them.

@@jumpinjojo that’s what I get for speed posting. Edited

Stupid Comment.

@@djmech3871 Then stop posting...

😂😂😂😂

😂😂😂😂

OMG! 🤣😆🤣🤘

Lol if y'all wanna keep your hair I'd suggest you keep it in an old shoe box and please don't spend money on crap that doesn't work like that keeps stuff 😆 just saying. Please don't waste your money on stuff that doesn't work.

I AM CERTIFIED AUTOMOTIVE TECH / INSPECTOR, USING A #194 BULB ,CHECK INJECTOR PULSE ..., NO PULSE ..BAD CRANK SENSOR

KZfaq certified master technician here checking in.

this here is the perfect comment.. dealerships love the automotive diagnostic parts cannon.. I fix my cars myself because mechanics all rip you off. then spends 2x the cost of repairs in unassociated replacement not parts that were completely functional in a method to save 200 bucks of Labor..

I cant help but be amused at the "certified automotive techs". Some years ago, a buddy of mine had a mid 90s Dakota 318 that wouldnt start. He had not 1 but 2 of those so called certified auto techs come by and look at it, one lived right across the street from him, both said they'd need to have it towed to their shops and hooked onto the computer. Then, my phone rings, I go over, try to crank it, of course it doesn't fire up, pulled the coil wire off the distributor, stuck a screwdriver in it, held the screwdriver close to an engine bolt, no spark. 15 minutes and a new coil later, he was running again. Sometimes you need those diagnostic computers, but unfortunately, techs seem to depend on them a little too much

Ase apparently doesn't teach you to crack the throttle and spray a bunch of starter fluid down below the butterflies. Spraying it like you're trying to kill a spider that you are scared of isn't the way to do it.

Diesel injectors are a whole different animal

Yes. Diesel fuel is abrasive, so it will eventually wear out the injectors.

@@bongodave13 It is not, it's got more lubricity than gasoline.

Stupid comment. Diesel isn't abrasive. What an idiotic idea

Lol
