Can We SAVE a DESTROYED Hummer after THOUSANDS of Rounds?

[@JunkyardDigs]

For those confused in the comments, I had nothing to do with the destruction of this Hummer. Rather we are the ones that came along and saved it from likely getting scrapped. Because of our actions, the Hummer will be getting fixed and returning to service on Off The Ranch's channel!

[@AgentWest]

Agreed. Destroying things just for the sake of destroying them is trashy, to put it lightly, even if it _was_ paid for by a sponsor. "No such thing as bad publicity" so they do this, people get angry and talk more about them.

[@adamtereska8734]

ROTFLMMFAO good one.

[@petejones2578]

The look on the guys face when he opens the box on that reman

[@unmountablebootvolume]

Probably. That starter wasn't nearly as bad as the worst core alternator I sent back to VW, and they still accepted it! The entire case and stator was literally snapped in half after a bearing failed at 3k engine rpm (that TDI alternator does 2-3x engine speed, so it was doing 6-9k when it let go with a massive bang, like a bursting tire, while flooring it on an onramp). Windings hanging out and everything! I honestly have no idea why they actually gave me the 100€ core charge on that, probably just wanted it as a display piece for their collection of "brokenest parts". Would have loved to see the facial expression of the core returns guy in Wolfsburg when they pulled my "alternator" (or what was left of it) out the box!

As a diesel tech I knew it would 'run' but I was still genuinely surprised when you got it running that quickly. I really thought you would have to redo a lot more wiring and replace that injector module and ecm.

Honestly just the starter was all she needed to hit off ether, but it was fun to try!

[@ProCarsGaming556]

@@JunkyardDigs True but i try not use ether on the basis i see too many trucks with grid heaters that aren't marked on the intake or come with them factory. but i still really thought that injector computer would cause more issues than it did.

That poor engine may have been running on 4 or 5 cylinders, the clatter from the valve train was quite interesting, and most likely the reason why.
