I work for a park dept, it never would get rid of anything that nice,everything is drove until it will not move. My truck was a 25 yr old sqarebody and just recently died and sent to auction.( only brought 600). I like it when the auctioneer rides around in a "popemobile"............Thanks for posting , your videos were missed for the two month hiatus..............

[@lylehicks8472]

Colorado has a large hole in the bottom of the frame near the driver side rear wheel where the frame begins to bend up. Paper on window at auction listed it to have a “rusted frame” I was there and checked it out myself

[@ARuralVermonterQqjmcb182]

i'll have to check it out and weld a patch thanks

[@mph5896]

Looks solid to me. Didn't see the inner rail though.

[@phonecorner1]

God loves us all so much that he gave his perfect son to die for our sins and raised him from the grave to defeat death. Through faith in JESUS we can be saved and reconciled to GOD. please give your lives to him, he loves you, is coming back soon, and really wants to take us all with him🙏♥️

Good to see you again. Love the Car Auctions.👍👍

[@santaclause2875]

So glad to see you back, RV!! Can't wait for your upcoming shows on these new vehicles!!

[@OhioStateJK]

It’s great your back missed your videos!!!

[@geraldsmith9540]

Damn, rolls right back taking care of business like no time has passed and comes out swinging with two great purchases. Clean the Silverado up, charge the A/C and double your money. Market is crazy right now but then again I don’t have to tell you that. Have fun with the little four banger. Welcome back!!! 👍🏻

[@rickhager7978]

Welcome back. I always enjoy your videos. Always good content. Hope your studies went well.

WHEN YOU SHOWED THE AIR COMPRESSOR I COULD SEE WATER AROUND THE RADIATOR HOUSE GOING INTO THE MOTOR / TAKE A LOOK

[@wyattgardner3552]

Thermostat housing or neck is plastic and looks wet.

[@anthonymcandrew529]

Welcome back! You did good with both purchases (as usual). Maybe you can do a video showing all the vehicles in your fleet?

[@markjackson887]

Two great purchases, well done. Really interesting video 😊

[@cognisent_]

Nice to see you again! Looking forward to some fun stuff this summer 🙌.

[@lingerseason]

Good to see you posting again, looking forward to seeing more videos on these. That 2015 Silverado ac was notorious for breaking the plastic bracket that holds the hose from condenser to compressor. Easy fix with a metal one and recharge if that’s the issue.

[@geezer4962]

Yes sir ree Bob, "school's out for summer", I think there's a song there someplace, looking forward to your builds, rural V.

[@Commentleaver-c6x]

Time for another beach trip in the old Toyota van.

[@theotherdanw]

Always love an auction video. Two nice finds!

[@dangoodall-williams4200]

Glad to see you back!! Both are good buys. Probably flip them if I were you.

[@sds433]

Both trucks look good. Welcome back!

[@tommyboy8524]

Welcome back. Great grabs on those vehicles

[@jamesstout3430]

Glad to see new content Q-man. School must be out!

[@Gtagamerrank221]

Glad to see another video after a few months and of course another great one

[@bigospig]

Good to see you back. Both of those have surprisingly little rust.

[@joshuagraham3222]

They are both awesome. The Silverado is a deal and in great shape.

[@robertvance1873]

On the Silverado it looks like the thermostat housing has a coolant leak but it looks like you got a great deal on both 👍 Good To See you Back 👍

[@patrickwatson5276]

Great purchases, 2 double ups!!!

[@Fony_turgeson]

Of course most are gonna start up and sound better ...most are already warmed up or been started recently. Best way is to hear a cold start

[@DavidToner-pn5yk]

Nice buys and it's good to see you back bud 👍

A good day made amazing when ARV uploads

[@YellowScubadiver]

love your videos welcome back!

[@terryholloway9930]

Great job hope school is going ok thanks for sharing

[@SuncoastCreate]

Looks like a coolant leak at the thermostat on the silverado - can see it when you are showing the ac compressor.

[@harkin3684]

Yeah, was about to mention that too. Looks like an easy fix at least.

[@djdirect8416]

It's good that there's no auction fees! We have 10-20% fees in California, but the rust you guys have to deal with is brutal. I just saw a 1998 f250 4x4 with 40k miles looked brand new underneath. Sold for $3400 Sold

[@famusman5989]

Wow, haven't heard or seen from you in a long time. You definitely need to make a longer video to catch us all up on what you've been doing other than school stuff

[@theduckofevil]

Great that you are back!

[@sneaks01]

Great to see you back bro!!!😊

[@Bob-Farrell]

DAMN I AM GLAD YOU ARE BACK I ALWAYS ENJOY YOUR VIDS

[@ItsaRomethingeveryday]

Always enjoy your vids ❤

[@saeidkharrat4397]

I LOVE THE WAY AUCTIONEER ANNOUNCES .VERY FUNNY

[@johnDingoFoxVelocity]

Yeah the compressor is common on that model check the hoses to it a guarantee one was rubbing on a bolt they do that often and rub through the line the fix is put a hose holder clamp on the bolt stoppes the rubbing

[@royhaught9516]

I think you made some great purchases, very solid trucks!

[@kalh.9241]

Sick video ! I still can’t believe the crazy good deals you get ! Must be a Vermont thing I can’t find anything like this near me !

[@bishopcorva]

Check the ac fuse as well before getting any freon for recharging. Also like a few others have said, the thermostat housing looks possibly wet near the base if the neck. Could be a hairline crack or could be nothing. On the fullsize. For the Colorado, make sure to get a new valve cover gasket before pulling the cover off to check the timing chain slack. Also fuse check that one too for ac issues before going deeper for compressor replacements or recharging. Either way, good snags.

[@pathartary2644]

Good acquisitions! Hope you will be posting more vids soon.

[@richardepstein3494]

Missed ya! Welcome back!

[@chevyefe]

[@GarageWorx]

Some good buys!

[@leelaaiyappa6277]

Nice busy 👍☕

[@MattyiCeGames]

Welcome back 🫡

[@josephmalinowski6817]

I used to go to the state auction out by me plus my uncle worked for the state and was a top supervisor so his Ford pickup and Ford Taurus we're in great condition. The only bad thing is that they used to auction all the vehicles at once and that allows you to get a deal and eventually they smartened up and started to limit the amount of vehicles which got people to get out of control with bidding which turn everything into bidding wars which ruined everything. But you can get some really nice vehicles that been maintained.

[@evanmeier3570]

That 2014 looks like good score! I’m surprised they let you park all of those vehicles at your dorm. Good to see you post one again.

[@dave11686]

Welcome back!

[@mickm.121]

Hey look who is back!

[@rokelesoke]

Great to have you back. Love the videos!

[@spartan92296]

One of the first videos I saw of yours was on a Colorado you were fixing up to flip. :D

[@billyhaddock5540]

Congrats on getting ur newest trucks.. I like the 2014 chevy, I got a 2011 silverado with the 5.3l motor too. mine has 164,000 miles.

[@user-oo3zt1pr3h]

where are you my man we miss your videos glad to see you again

[@kevinj7051]

Bro dont make us wait this long again! I was craving your video for 4 freakin months!

[@RealSaulGoodman78]

Welcome back

[@user-ch7xp2se2m]

That Silverado is a nice score, and it looks great.

[@paulsheehan5010]

If the beat squeals, it's a tattle tale.

[@y2kxj]

Wow lots of nice stuff.. out aucti9ns here in Ontario Canada is just full of rotten rusty car/trucks..

[@kelly00000111111]

used to have a colorado with a bed topper on it when i worked IT/AV install with an old buddy of mine, the thing was pretty comfy loaded up with all of our crap in the back of it, but man oh man was it a turd when packed up

[@1leggeddog]

welcome back :)

[@Sellone]

My dad is a 08 Colorado great little fun trucks

[@reversemaxxus]

Win on both! I believe NH State auction Sat. May 18th...drove by sign.😁

[@MikeTheFixer]

Nice score, my a/c was leaking green oil due to the dye recently, could be confused as coolant🛠️

[@erscustoms911]

Nice scores!!

[@johnDingoFoxVelocity]

Nice job the chevy is a great car nice crew cab

[@kxtreme1942]

Great choices.

[@johnhansen4550]

Good deal on both trucks.

[@aronbregman6753]

Man I missed your stuff, hopefully u do more road trips

[@mitchlosier]

That Colorado is sweet reminds me of your old s10

[@tombob671]

Great score

[@karimkalache712]

Give us a update rural vermonter bro on your summer, what are you doing? The lawn care work? Hope your well man and the back is getting better!

[@davidwelch6796]

I like the manual windows on the Colorado. I have never seen the point in electric windows, they cost more and there is more to go wrong. I have never had a problem with manual windows and the effort to work them is minimal.

[@georgedreikhajamale8581]

Hi rural vermonter where you was? We miss your nice rebuild cars videos in special silverados

[@braylenstamm2922]

Finally your posting again

[@RS-oy7uh]

Watching from the Philippines 🌴

[@steviebboy69]

One thing I find funny is the auctioneers in the USA it sounds so so funny and double dutch to me. Over here in Australia they speak much more slow and way different style.

[@FrankStein1]

You need to jack it up clean the bottom and spray it with rust killer and then some kind of coating. Fix that rust hole before it gets worse. But overall GREAT BUY for 7k.👍👍👍

[@leelaaiyappa6277]

Nice buy

[@thomasturnquist118]

Looking forward to summer if you’re posting!

[@paulsheehan5010]

If you miss shifting, you can shift the Colorado, manually.

[@aclark7647]

Vermont , also will sell on Auctionsinternational .

[@shahzadhaider1275]

Thanks god you are back

[@jason_l5p]

i would have the cylinder deactivation tuned out of that silverado if you keep it. those trucks are notorious for having valvetrain issues around that mileage with AFM/DFM activated

[@socdaaliyodamaashad6669]

bro glad to see you again, do not ever leave us again.😡😂

[@eliivanitskiy3018]

Good deal on the Chevy Silverado

[@jamespfitz]

I think this is how Hendricks Automotive started.

[@dangoodall-williams4200]

Just wanted to say, I really miss your videos! I hope you are ok. Ever since that spring break you took with friends things have been different. So, I hope things are ok for you.

[@jimmysuperduty1484]

Pretty good deal for what your getting

[@WaldosWorld]

So they didn't taste the liquid to see if it was coolant or water? Amateurs 🙄

[@danielkingery2894]

That's the Oklahoman procedure Waldo....🤣
