[@tomchapman1485]

I am a $1,000 BUYER for that one while still at yard! Missed it - DANG!! Do good on it!

[@bwolper]

Your content has me coming back for more! Great stuff. I would love to see this Cady running. Good luck.

[@EverythingsRegular]

Damn UM, 17k, 10 hours... Moving On Up! Keep going

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

+Everythings Regular for sure man. It’s on fire lol. How’s it going?

[@Young2zzy]

Auto Auction Rebuilds Going Great! Well this month has been slow, but I’m actually at the auction as we speak, hoping to come across a deal today

[@datdamndavisboy]

Good content!! I really like when you hunt down the problem and show the process of fixing it. (Or attempting to.) Good luck on the Caddy!!

[@morganmcgarthur9621]

You said: : This is not a flood car a thousand times" It is a flood car!

[@mudder517]

Was it a flood car?

Hey man, this content is very good, keep it up! Cheers from Argentina!

[@danstewart8218]

Marvel Mystery Oil down the plug holes!!! Leave for a few hours, then the breaker bar!! Loving that you are being patient that what we all want to see!! Quality over speed!! Back to your old form of doing it right !!! Good Luck Randy!!

[@jimbosliceatlanta]

I've been loving these videos. Got on a huge Samcracc kick and found yours, keep up the great work

[@KevinJohnson-fx6wq]

Was thinking you should do compression test if you haven't done so. Would tell you a lot. Best of luck guys.

[@fatherson3815]

Thanks Randy one of your best videos . We need to see more Jessica !

[@curvs4me]

You definitely should have pulled the plugs and put Mystery Oil in before you tried to turn it over. Pretty much the same procedure for any flood.

[@lennonpolo]

Wow, Another seven thousand subscribers and your at the magic on hundred! Well done mate.

[@Darkside_Motorsport]

Great video randy Waiting for more videos on this car Good luck from Israel

[@juanpalos3657]

Exellent buy on the Cadillac Randy.... I'm confident your brother and yourself will get it working properly and after that a very good cleaning and off to Wierd Beard. Can't wait to see the other vehicle you got. Shout out to you from Mexico bud

[@Nedyroc2]

Could be something involving the heater-core leaking into the intake manifold. I'm not 100% on how the layout of those older GM's are, but with the floorboard looking like that it could be the heater core leaking antifreeze into the cabin. Interesting to see what comes of it

[@danaowen9014]

Jim, your new camera takes real great video's and alittle wide angle as well.love it.Injoy quartsite.

[@michel8764]

Hey glad you changed the oil this time on a flood car before starting it lol Love your vids! Keep up the great work!!

[@haroldsmith3042]

Thank you so much for the music change. I may subscribe now.

[@MarcelJ17]

Jesus this channel skyrocketed in subs. Been here since the early Uber-man vids. Happy for ya brotha.

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

Thank you. It's been an insane ride this year once killing off Uber Man lol.

[@bomoran7220]

I feel like there's a lot of potential for this car whether you get it running or not, interior seems in good condition body looks good, rims look fair, overall I think this was a good buy either way Randy, keep up the good content I'm always looking for new videos from you! Enjoy them a lot

[@rp75heavy]

Spray PB Blaster in spark plugs and holes and fill up cylinder's.....and lit it set for 7 days...!! And repeat until free turning....!!

[@atrain910]

lmfao so the engine is hydrolocked and they replaced the air filter what's so hard to figure out?

[@bigalsbikeandauto]

Hopefully it runs! My pops has one of these...it’s a great balance of car/SUV.

[@CraigCatapano]

Nice find Randy. Will make some good content for the channel. I'll be watching them all....

[@craigrennie5458]

Don't know how I got here but glad I did great upload and subscribed I buy from copart in uk

[@JeffryLandry]

This is the content we've been wanting to see. You got a good car to fix up and flip and I really hope you do get this Cadillac running good because you can make a really good profit on this one from what I'm seeing.

[@rcorrado287]

Rims are doodoo, put factory on it

[@gtpcruiser02]

Those ugly rims definitely are not factory rims!

[@dmeman1]

I've got one of these...have fun with that starter. Also take the front timing cover off and replace the chains!!! They are notorious for breaking and when they do...it gets real bad...I know...last November it happened to me. Lol

[@mohenprosper5554]

cool video. Hope it starts up soon.

[@joshuajones1361]

Boy he can Make it run it allows fun to see if he can make it run love the videos

[@Mil3.High.Hustl3]

like the caddy I think you guys will get it up and running...

[@krisjonson9193]

good episode learned something thing today

[@777warhero]

Maybe someone drove through some deep water and the intake sucked up water, then they replaced the filter. That thing looked too clean to be the original filter. Water wasn't deep enough to have any intrusion into the car though.

[@Anthony-ho4kw]

It came from a dealership. Either they replaced the filter to hide the flood damage extent, or it has a blown headgasket and the car dealership defrauded their insurance. Really, I think either is possible. I looked up the carfax as well and it says that a dealership reported it as flood-damaged while in inventory.

[@nigmanjones9446]

that is possible too ive driven into deep water before in a smaller car tho.. but some people are dude and go very slow and let off gas thats a fucking mistake never let off gas in deep water lol

[@Anthony-ho4kw]

@@nigmanjones9446 Considering the engine locked up on him after less than 200 miles, I am pretty sure you and argonian are right.

[@KuteKawaiiKitty]

Or it just got air out

[@davidrubin1895]

The caddy for the price is a good buy. The 3.6 is used throughout many vehicles. Easy to swap if it's no good.

[@ludvigtande1236]

Enjoyed. Fun stuff. Hope she runs!!

[@trb250]

Good luck with this one!

[@aleenguatevlogs7874]

Hi Randy, what program do you use to edit videos?? Thnaks men. & nice project

[@Paul-yc8xs]

Do you have a difficult time selling Flood Damage cars in your area? I come across a lot of flood vehicles that look like your caddy with no physical sign of water damage but potential buyers run when they hear it was a flood car? Any advice would be great thank you. Good luck with the caddy it’s nice looking vehicle.

[@rainyreal6773]

Can’t lie never liked this type of suv but for the price I would definitely get one, hope everything works out for you

[@osirisjackson5443]

Nice truck and I hope it works out well. Peace and love to all...

[@scottgray9674]

Awesome, that would sell quick on the lot. Hope it can get fixed

[@gregdeberry4348]

When you didn't see flood evidence, my first thought was insurance fraud. Someone could have hurt the engine, and decided to get their insurance to buy the car.

[@theadventurer4016]

With the sugar on the floor smell the gas just to make sure there isn't any sugar in the gas

[@greghemlock6679]

Sugar not soluble in gasoline anyway like sand,just empty out tank fresh gasoline. Sugar in gas tank no different than putting sand in there.

[@emmanuelcarrion5168]

Wow nice find !!

[@jamesmccarthy1961]

I was shocked you seeing those rims. For about 8 yrs I been rolling the exact same design on 22's. Also I bought them used. They got to be a 2010 design. I get compliments on them a lot as well.

[@tony_25or6to4]

Was that the oil cap on the right side there?

[@ericrichardson4403]

Love the channel, but those wheels + the chrome SRX fuel door cover screams previous owner was badge-riding and wanted everyone to know how "hood rich" they are. Look a 10 year old Caddy. Good luck with the flip.

[@richardcroll3]

Do the fronts match and the rears? Some people replace in 2s

[@thecardestroyers]

Great vid, also, if and engine is seized, can you use the tool you use to try to get it to crank?

[@thecardestroyers]

Also, would it work on an oil seize?

[@johnmoncrieff3034]

With that much water in the sump it sounds to me that the engine has hydraulic-ed and possibly bent a rod or valve so be very careful.

[@connerporlier5423]

Carter

[@ShawnT_1JZ]

dude that red lexus SC to the left of you at 0:40 is worth some money even being crashed, you can part it out also for good profit, theres huge communities for the SC/Soarers

[@matthewinsydneyful]

So interesting:) The area looks like the military "Bone Yard" for US Air force

[@eduardobaez1599]

Those SRXs look kinda cool. And are good handlers for an suv.

[@Stephen-carr]

Question . Before saying she is locked up did you guys try turning it backwards. I ask cause I have seen many people think their motor was locked up after blowing a head gasket only to find it was water locked. Turned backwards 1 rotation than spun fine

[@mickweld5940]

Hi these engines are notorious for timing chain problems they use the same engine in the australian commodores.

[@EXOD3str0y3r]

Honestly I was hoping you found an Escalade at first but SRX are awesome cars too

[@johnulrich5572]

Good luck on the Caddy. I'm guessing you checked for water in the gas tank?

[@biglou1186]

I think you guys are going to get her running. Replace the starter and let the new oil loosen everything up. As always great video.

[@SuperTrayk]

I bought one for $1100 at a auction. Runs great 107k miles but dented in the front

[@MichaudDaniel]

For a car who were in a flood, does it affect the electronic(computer)? Water and electronics doesn't go well together.

[@stevec5000]

It probably went nose down into the water when someone tried to cross a flooded creek bed. That happens all the time here in AZ.

[@warrenw.1544]

WTG man. Randy are you still getting your Vet wrapped and the body work done. Both of them are sweet lookin rides!

[@faceman1666]

Great content men! Keep it up!

[@mustangsally5901]

Randy, do you have a list of cars you have for sale, and their prices. Would you be able to post these to your channels? Thanks

[@AY-dw4om]

the first thing you should have done after drooping the old oil mixed with water, is remove the spark plugs and see if there is water in the cylinders. if you crank the engine the water will go out that way if there are any. this is to do before any rotation to the engine - because if there is water there, as we know water are uncompressible it will damage the head pistons and valves.

[@donromine7669]

The nipple grease fittings that were removed from the leaf spring main bolts are really called grease zerts.

[@christinaandwena8917]

Might be baking soda out there to absorb odor

[@gravis346]

Good video!

[@toddboone3923]

Should put some liquid wrench in cylinders to break the rings free. Because of water in the block . let that set over night . Then spin the motor over to build up oil pressure and oil to the cylinders heads. Hopefully that should get you started.

[@Korium84]

Cool caddy. Should fire over in some capacity easy, just a matter of how much damage was done

[@TheStripKing]

On all caddy's srx the tire size is not a mismatch. The back set is always bigger then the front set. I own 1

[@degeneratewinners]

I think it may work out. Looks good either way. Worst case you could drop the motor from the envoy xuv in it lol.

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

LOL for sure man.

[@matthewkreft720]

Not really. Completely different. Envoy XUV has a 4.2 or a 5.3, this has a 3.6

[@redriver15262]

lol i had a neighbor who told his daughter "dont forget to put some coolant in the car!" and she literally put coolant in the engine because the oil cap was the first thing she saw, and so their car needed a new engine lol, all because they had a small coolant leak 🙄🙄

[@donaldgrant9067]

I have bought 2 motorcycles from Coparts Crashedtoys. I don't think they would mind the advertisement. 1 a 2002 Harley 883 for 2000 dollars that is my bike to ride on the weekend. Runs great and had no problems with it. And just to have something to play with a 2007 Kawasaki ex 250 flood motorcycle that I am working on. Some of them have a reserve on them that I feel is way too much, but you can find a deal sometimes. So if your mechanically inclined and always wanted a motorcycle you might check them out. Of course for new riders I would get a dirt bike and ride the hills or gravel pits for a little while to get a handle on riding. If you can handle dirt then you can handle street.

[@vphathom]

baking soda to absorb the smell of the flood look under the dash for mud in the wiring harness

[@Kanamit.]

What was the final outcome of the Cad?

[@WilliamBrinkley45]

Not the original filter, someone may have tried to fix it. But ultimately I’m thinking it was Ins. Fraud, vandalism, or just maybe they drove through shallow water and water got sucked into the intake and it’s Hydro-locked

[@kashhause6362]

I like these srxs for some reason

[@tankman-ku5zc]

Looks good. But be careful about the engine if the headgaskets blown i dont know. But it dosent look to bad.

[@nodak81]

The water that was coming out of the oil pan looked like clear water, not coolant. I'm curious how it would have happened though, if it had come through the intake while running it would have hydrolocked the pistons and probably ruined the engine and if it flooded while not running it should have left water (or evidence of it) in the cylinders and on the plugs. Will be interested to see if she runs again. One thing I wonder is if the bottom end of the engine was under water it might have leaked in around the dipstick tube seal or something similar.

[@garbage854]

Cool Caddy :)

[@MrPhatboy1981]

The engine might be hydralocked pull the spark plugs

[@fanoflakespeed9460]

Most of the Cadillacs had the inlet to the airfilter about a foot off the ground. This would allow water to enter the engine on a flooded street. I'll be surprised if a rod isn't bent.

[@GroveDaLord]

Jesus Christ two words ELECTRONIC NIGHTMARE those older caddies after junk that's why you can find CTSs for dirt cheap honestly would tell you to stay away from Cadillacs not worth the money to fix one imo, I've also worked on a few at a dealership

[@youvids9820]

thry are absolutely junk, he should saty away from that

[@jaybee5832]

Cadillac are garbage . Did head gaskets on North Star once . Starter is under intake. Delivered heads to machine shop & they tell us that the motor is a heli-coil block job. Heli-coil block???? We found out when torquing head bolt all the threads would strip out. Never again .

[@KooolaBe]

@@jaybee5832 i feel this comment

[@brianfoley4519]

check water pressure test, see if head gasket is leaking

[@gac914]

Any car that's had that many A/C compressors is someone been changing the symptom, not the cause. What usually happens is the first compressor blew up and scattered bits of shrapnel throughout the system, so that each new compressor gets eaten up. What's needed is to evac the entire system, change the receiver-drier, and more than likely the expansion valve assembly, (wickedly small orifice in that valve, and chances are really good that it's also clogged.) A lot of work, but the only way to go!

[@aaronmoody5333]

As someone who has a DTS in his garage that codes as a perfectly maintained car but hasn't started in 4 years even after having several well seasoned mechanics look it over I can honestly say fuck Cadillacs from this era, the electrical systems are a pure nightmare

[@adriangalambosi771]

This car is obviously a fresh water flood car. Not too many signs but most of the electrical component goes most of the time. Also a lots of send kind of debris inside the engine. Learned 20 years ago that I never buy a flood car... except if I can get an exact same car as a donor car.

[@AVR-hf1rl]

you should off pulled the belt off then start it it might be the ac compressor is locked up had it happen on a ford truck once

[@mckeevb]

I say buy ! Replace head gasket - no big deal.

[@vertstartail6592]

fix and keep it. you said you were looking for a winter car. this would fit the bill.

[@infidel24]

This one's definitely interesting

[@docholiday1034]

Bought many flood cars and bikes when big storms come thru........some are what we call water hose flood. Lol. Owner puts a water hose in gas tank or carpet ....

[@Chinunit22]

Poor Yellow Corvette :( Do you ever run Carfax on any of bought Copart vehicles?

[@markcollins5026]

No sugar tonight !

[@realname2158]

Meh, got a 2006 SRX, 138k miles on it, loaded with all the bells and whistles, 3.6l from auction for $3800. Needed new tires, coils, plugs and a battery but outside of that didn't spend anymore on it. I could have flipped it and sold it easily for $5500 and made a little bit but it runs really well so keeping it as a daily use vehicle. Outside of changing light bulbs, not a bad car to maintain.

[@axlef1513]

Flood damage on a Cadillac? I don't see how anything could possibly go wrong. =)

[@HandsomeMoose]

Exactly 5000 views already. Nice.

[@lonewolf7309]

Pull the plugs..its hydrolocked from the headgasket leaking

[@revilsdr]

It’s very possible that they drove through deep water stalled and tried to start it may not have gotten into the interior of the vehicle. That filter looks like the prob just replaced it. May be not a complete flood but has water damage to the engine so it’s flooded.
