I’m proud of your hard work Randy, hopefully it goes well as planned!

this channel is like Regular Car Rebuilds, honestly it's the best title for it most rebuild channels are exotics and sports cars it's always refreshing to see a normal car being worked on. Great content♥

I prefer this over Lambo, Viper and GT-R rebuilds. Way more relatable for the average guy in the street.

Check trans numbers and pigtails. There is two different trans for same engine . Stx and reg. Torque converter also.

I'm glad you took my advice and are taking time off with your lady . Enjoy yourself , have fun and be safe .

Never flush a high mileage transmission. Take that from an are certified mechanic with over 25 years experience.

Randy, this is by far my favorite KZfaq channel! Keep up all the great work!

I like the fact that you are doing what a normal vey day person would possibly be able to do and afford and that they could do this for themselves. It’s not just about making a buck this is more like a learning experience even know you do make some money off all the people watching. I am glad we are back on tract kudos.

Hey Randy! Awesome to see someone else rebuilding a Dart! On your flooded Dart, you may want to check out the TCM, it is located in the passenger side floor board. The Dart that I am rebuilding would not start when I got it. Not a flood damaged car, however, because it had been in a collision and the doors did not close all the way, and it had been sitting for over a year, moisture had gotten into the TCM connector and corroded some of the pins. This caused the car to throw a U0101 error because it could not see the TCM. If it cannot see the TCM, it will not start. Just some food for thought for ya given it is literally on the floor board. Good luck! Great videos!

I really enjoy your channel Randy. Thanks for all the great and interesting/fun content.

Sxt doesn't mean fully spec'd out 😀 It just means it has options other than a base model.

Thank you for your hard work randy I really enjoy watching your videos. Have a good time off I can't wait to see the motor swap on the dodge dart. Take care buddy

That's awesome Randy. Can't wait to watch later tonight.

Looking forward to this build! Awesome!

Glad that you got the donor car looking forward to seeing you change the engine and transmission and have a nice vacation

Really like your channel. Was wanting to tell you don't do a full flush on transmission. I did that and my trans went out. I would just drain fluid and put new filter in and fill it up. So no more flushing for me. Take care and look forward to seeing more videos. Troy.

Hope you enjoy your vacation can’t wait to see you start the dart project

Man you just one of the nicest guys on KZfaq, love your Channel...

Awesome vid Randy keep up the great work

Huge thumbs up Randy! Looking forward to the swap.

Great videos I do enjoy your honesty

Great job loving the videos!

Auto auction rebuilds engine and transmission swap. Going to be a amazing video. Cant wait.

My cousin drove a truck like that over 350,000 miles and only quit driving it when he hit the second deer that he had hit with it. Your new truck looks good. Great buy on the Dart donor car.

Great content brother. Enjoy your videos 👍😎

I know you have seen me on here hating I am liking the new content since the shop more builds and more actually work I would like to say thank you for steeping up.. I appriacted you trying and the struggles... also the trailer Is a game changer

Wow..u are man of the word..u do what u told..best of luck

Great vid randy and becareful on your road trip yall are coming down to my part in good ol Louisiana

Another Hit video Randy !

Safe trip randy have a good time cant wait till next vid

I love your vid soo much man

Keep up the great work thanks for the content

I'm starting to belive your channel has best car content

Hey keep doing what you’re doing no matter the size of the job it’s all great

Tim is a brave man for having his hands close while you're cutting it, as I can see you haven't mastered using that tool yet! But hey, I believe you will get there as Mike is a great teacher.😁

can't wait for the next video!

Depending on the configuration of the flood car, you should try to transfer as many parts with porous materials as possible (i.e. seats, carpets, etc.)

Great you're taking time for what's important, enjoy your getaway trip ;)

Once you do the engine swap, you can put the donor out back and part it out. When nothing is left, you can take the rest to a scrapyard for a couple hundred bucks.

Randy would you be interested in selling a rim and hub cap cover off of the donor car?

Great show.

Cool 😀 Have a safe fun trip

"Hit the trailer a little bit, I'll have to get some paint over thay" yeah, as if the visible surface rust wasnt all around the ball head lol

A miracle! You bought the right donor car! And you are starting a rebuild! (Maybe I should not have said that, as we never know if you give up on this project as well).

Nooooooooo!!!! Don't flush the transmission, just change the fluid and filter, if it has a serviceable filter. Flushing is just asking for problems with something getting stuck in a valve body because you stir up any trash that is in the pan. Especially when it has over 200k on the odometer.

hi randy great video n job on everything I've sent you email n great comments on ur video S I'm so proud of you n god bless hope to hear from you soon

Well done Randy your back on track fixing cars

Good luck with the project

Ayeeeee I’m happy you uploaded 😂😂

Yay donor car got to love the donor cars man you can always fix that little fine detail stuff that's a junk yards always nickel And dime you about when you go to check out

I just noticed you are an Okie. I am from Yukon! Small World! Keep up the good work!

Good Up!! Liked

Do not flush that transmission. Just do a pan drop and filter change. Flushing the fluid on a truck with that high mileage will likely cause issues.

Nice video again Randy

If you get attack by an alligator please film it for us 😁😁😁😂😂😂😂😂😂

Glad to see you have been sponsored

Have a good trip

It took you 15 seconds to cut through that lock. There is something wrong with that statement.

This will be a nice project series to watch, looking forward to it. It will be interesting to see what, if anything, besides the engine and transmission, has to be swapped to get the flood car back to running. I am also curious to see the final numbers once this is all said and done to see if it was worth it. I think you will be able to make your money back plus some profit just off of the flood car once it's restored. Then you should be able to make a few hundred on top of that off the parts car when you re-sell/scrap that after getting the needed parts off of it.

Wow good luck with the engine swap hope it goes smoothly.

Nice find. You're giving the haters some meat and potatoes now. Good luck!

Can't wait to see randy swap the motor and trans and get it running again.

This is great time to get that dart running again

*NICE* trailer!

Save the key remote from the donor and you should be able to use it on the one that you're rebuilding even if it has two keys already you can always add a third one.the only thing is is the plane key to get in door an emergency would have to get a new blank and have it cut other than that remote and all that stuff would work. save any electronics you need from the donor car for the one that you're rebuilding to the one that was in a flood and the one that was an accident should have some good donor parts for the electrical system for the flood car you are rebuilding.

You should have 3 autoaution.io free reports for your subscribers like samcrac did

Good plan bossman. Enjoy your time off

Randy, Dude, you're really the best. absolutely clear what you say, that you do flip cases for everybody. But everyone also dreams of great cars that we&you can not afford, but are dreamable through Copart. Let's see it again with Merz S600 (1 million clicks) or maybe ML500. Please. The fast flips are kind of non emotional. Dodge Dart.. well. But Dude .. I am a fan and will keep on following you from Germany. I love what and how you do it. Bottom-up Cheers.

And when you part out and sell the rest of the blue Dart, that engine and trans will be pretty much free. Parts cars really are the way to go if you have the space for them and the time to strip them out and get the parts up for sale...

So cool! You should do a big turbo!

From the stuff in it and the mucky condition I would say that blue Dart was someone's company work vehicle. It might be bad news from the cleanliness side, but company vehicles are usually maintained right up to scratch as the companies really don't want vehicles having down-time...

Should have thrown the 2.4 in it. Those are great cars I flooded mine in 4 ft of water water came in over the seats. Still sold at the copart in Indiana for 12k with 54k on the ODO.

If you're going to Louisiana You'll be eating alligators! Maybe some craw fish to!! Great video!

Awesome sauce

I was panicking for your brothers hand near that saw. Always be more careful.

Never flush a high mileage transmission. Change the fluid and filter and drive on. Flushing it will wash the clutch material off the clutch packs.

Have great journey

Take the parts out that you need then run it back thru the auction missing those parts or put the bad parts from the other one in it. As it will still have good parts for someone else and recope some of your cost.

Have a safe trip

That's what I said do with the Sebring use it as a donor car rather than wholesale it... you got a good powertrain and interior, backend use it

If is the frame rails are not busted it is worth to repair. You can get really cheap parts on junkyards, I repaired one of those about a year ago and spent about 1300 bucks in parts with the airbags

Ok pro tip here load the car with the nose on the front of the trailer you want that weight on the hitch otherwise it is gonna pull like crap and pop up and down on these small cars it isnt too noticeable but if you put a full size truck on there you will learn real fast what i mean.

You need to get with fort knocks locks! BTBRV has them and really likes them!

What happen to the free scanner whoo won

Randy, u need to buy few more darts with damage or vandalised use up the remaining parts of the blue one and save put others back on the road.👍

That’s lite work on that blue one.....

Great new truck, just was wondering why not get a Copart truck that’s nice and fix it up to par and make some vids out of it, just was curious. Can’t wait for the power train swap though👍🏼

That explains the clear title cars that look like repairable writ-offs, because of self insurance. I've one self insured car but I don't use it and its only done 1800 miles in 4 years, yep 1800 from new but it is a Mirage and the base model so not worth much to start and used as a loaner.

GOOD LAD ENJOY YOUR BREAK

Nice. Should work out good. I guess you're just not into replacing springs on cars. You should try it on at least one. And with the sense I get with you of knowing the difference in rides, since you've driven the new cars should see the difference after replacing the springs. Especially controlling body roll which affects the performance. Sure, you put in new shocks, yet the springs are old and have been working probably since new. I was mainly thinking of the truck, which will be towing. I would want the stance of the truck to be as stable as possible. In my mind right now I'm looking at the truck and loaded trailer from a side view and wonder how your truck will look. I look for all the forces acting as the truck pulls and how the trailer affects the stance of the truck. Does it pull the rear down and if so, what is acceptable. If I remember right those engines can go a long time and seems like you will be mostly driving highway. Well, thanks for sharing and I also know how your budget can keep you from buying springs and such. I'm just babbling a bit here, lol. Not meant towards you in any way. What can I say I'm hooked on springs but only do it on cars I know I'll keep. As you know Randy, you'd go broke if you fixed every little thing on a car. Maybe someone new will read this and try it. I believe it adds to a safer car as well. Thanks again for sharing.

Swapping drivetrains is the way to go. Disconnect everything do not cut and slash. You don't know yet what you have to bring over from the donner car to make it work in the car you're fixing.

NEVER do a Lambo or Hellcat they are getting boring and that is not the car 99.9999% of your watchers will ever restore from a salvage auction, Good work with regular persons car.......Been with you since beginning great to see your steady growth,,,

That type of hitch lock is useless, thieves beat mine off with a sledge hammer and drove off with my two new seadoos..

Nice videos

Randy, it would be great to keep that donor car to fix up a 2nd dart, find something with rear end damage. You'll have everything there

If you are happy with your new truck then that's all that matters.

Used the flood one instead for parts and rebuild the blue one,the flood one probally has rust inside under the floor carpet,not sure but it be a interesting rebuild one,i rather have a basic model than having a flood car and worrying about mold growing in the carpet,just my opinion but is your call,unless you transfer the carpet,seats from the blue one?.

I enjoy the older videos to

you should get a shed for all the parts are good for that car so next time you work on another car like that do you have parts for it and the transfer case in the wheel and and the seats and the carpet

You need to get a dismantlers license so you can start parting out these cars. Might be able to get most of your money back that way.
