Copart Walk Around 12-31-19 + $1600 Duramax 6.6

[@richardkafka5625]

Love when you say this is gonna be a short one and it goes 40+ minutes! So nice to see a Copart walk around again. I think the F-150 and the Duramax are good risks. Especially for the money. Happy New Year to you and Jessica! Glad to see you back!

Randy-I have a Saab 97x which is the exact same thing as a trailblazer. I have the same rust, “chunky stuff” on my trans dipstick. Thing shifts like a champ, I’d take a gamble depending on what it goes for.

[@SuperChevelle88]

That diesel might be a diamond in the rough . I'd say for the right price that dirtymax is worth a chance . I bet it would make a good Content vehicle . Diesel's are always popular on KZbin

[@CaballeroSantos0206]

Great to see you here again Randy! Blessings

Buy that Duramax! Worth more than 1600 in parts

[@haidersohail1649]

Feels so good to see you back Randy. Loved the new intro

That duramax is the best buy on that lot! It's also a lbz duramax.. please buy it. You wont be disappointed. Trust me.

[@zacharyjones1492]

Whoo glad to have these back! Looking for vans you can't go wrong with a grand caravan. I just picked one up from a church with 141k miles a rebuilt trans. Mountains of records. All for 1650. Only thing wrong is a dent in the tailgate.

Thanks Jess for helping Randy this week

[@randysmith8433]

You should buy several of these, best quality walk around to date!

[@Ramirez1301]

The hissing on the Mariner is the brake booster. It is common on those, tributes and escapes of that era. They used cheap plastic seals that wore out quickly. You have to replace them or the whole booster. The part is cheap and the remains have rubber seals and last longer.

[@KenshinNX60]

On the trailblazer when the truck starts to idle rough when you turn the AC on the throttle body needs to be cleaned and it fixes the issue. I have a TB I bought a year ago with 231kmiles I bought from copart with the same amount of miles has 254k miles now. The transmission maybe bad. Mine went out at 240k you can't tell if they transmission is bad unless you try to drive over 45mph to get to higher gears

That 05 is fine if it's a 4.6 engine. I have an 05 with 215k and it runs perfect. 5.4 is ok if it's been very well maintained. That gas door is a simple fix just the little metal spring in there

I’m glad you’re back and feeling better Randy.

[@robertsatterfield3532]

Randy, the wire you found on the trailblazer by the fuse block is extra, every one I've seen has one. I believe it has to do with adding something on the trailer hookup. Mine has never been connected. The trans dipstick is made of something that corrodes like mad with the trans fluid. My 04 has 299000 miles on it and I have to emery cloth it every year or so to knock the rust off it.

[@Anonymous-ji4sb]

See y’all in 2020!

[@steveharleyfan]

Jessica has the patience of a saint, Randy! She's a keeper. I don't believe how much time you spent on those trucks in comparison to the beautiful Mercedes at the start of the video.

[@vinaytewani2284]

Great to see you back making this videos and happy new year to you

[@josephmurphy3464]

I believe that extra wire under the hood of the trailblazer has something to do with electric trailer brakes on the plug in the back.

[@tpiguy]

Joseph Murphy you are correct.

[@_BAD_MERC_]

Randy @ 15:30 the 3.0 Vulcan engine was always durable and trouble-free. The 3.8 was the one that ate head gaskets like Skittles. The Vulcan is an iron block and heads pushrod motor that's archaic and simple, albeit underpowered. However it was sufficient to pull the Taurus and Sable around. Also, the Tempo, Probe, Ranger...... A miss here is probably a spark plug or fuel injector. I have 153K on my '06 Taurus and that's been the only mechanical issue.

[@keepingitcleanwithmrlee6696]

[@11094DEREK]

Mini vans had the 3.8 and 4.2 Sable is 3.0 best V6 ford made

The 3.8 was notorious for Head gasket issues, however the 3.0 Vulcan V6 was very reliable. These were iron block + iron head pushrod engines after all

"You know how the Chevys dont hold up over time " you say on a 10 year old plus trailblazer with 231k. Move a wire that was incorrectly attached for the starter and it fires up and runs smoothly. 2 mins later, diamond in the rough...listen to how smooth it runs.

The Chevy truck with the Allison would be an interesting buy. I think you can get that running no problem, but if not, the sale of the trans, and motor would be interesting to see. Fixed, that truck is 10 grand all day long.

[@camhowe349]

The Ford F150 the 05 one would be a good truck for you to have a trailer hooked on the tow hitch mount and tow cars around from copart to your house especially if the cars aren’t able to run and go as far to your house from the copart lot.. Amazing video as always Happy New Year Randy The Durmax would be a good project fix it up clean it up on the inside and sell it or keep it as a work truck for yourself

Hey Randy. That red 05 F-150 looks like a decent bet. The red duramax would be a good gamble if it goes cheap enough.

The hiss is a brake booster leak so it seems, the little rubber bushing is probably bad, dried out, ripped etc.

[@toberlorenz8784]

Perhaps you can get the Mercury cheap since no one knows how to start it?

[@kennethsunderland6676]

The fuel door on the F150 is a common problem on those trucks. Two people I work with have had that body style and have had that problem. One of the guys I work with went to KZbin and found out how to fix it. I wouldn't touch that Trailblazer. They are very notorious for engines and transmissions.

[@dgeorge852]

Starter Button. A number of years ago, there was a bunch of scammers who rigged cars up to sell a "Clean Spark" device that was suppose to improve gas mileage. They would demonstrate the device at swap meets and such. The hidden starter button was the key to show the device worked. Eventually the gang was caught and sent to prison. It was mostly in California. I'm surprised it made it to Oklahoma.

[@srmackin]

Had an 04 TB myself with high mileage - always reliable, only had problems in two areas: fan clutch would only last about 75K, it was totally different from any other GM fan clutch, and the blend door actuator would go from time to time, but that was a cheap and easy part.

I loved driving it on long trips, it was a perfect car for me and i'm sure for most people. Unfortunately my sister managed to roll it but amazingly she walked away unscathed. We owe that car everything for keeping her safe in a really rough accident. Oh and watch out for the passenger side rear wheelwell they tend to rust there.

The Vulcan V6's in those Mercury Sable's and Ford Taurus' did NOT have head gasket issues. They were slow as shit but they never had any major defects. Even the optional Duratec V6's in these aren't known for head gaskets. Only the 3.8's in the old 80's and early 90's versions had head gasket issues. That Sable 99% just needs a coil.

That mariner had a vacuum leak at the power brake booster. My Saab does the same thing but it’s more of a whistle. Easy fix.

I'd buy the Grand Marquis. It's likely an old man car and he didn't want to pay to have a new ignition switch put in it. That's exactly how my late Father would have fixed it if it was a $300 repair at the dealer. He'd say "I can fix that with a $10 starter button". They may be hard to sell but those Panther Platform based cars are super reliable and will go 200,000 miles.
