Ya know its funny we have a Govt that has to inspect a vehicle to make sure its road worthy. But NOBODY checks to make sure the road is worthy of a vehicle..

[@BradGryphonn]

i was a truck driver for years. In one job I drove the same truck for about 8 years. About four years into working for this company, the indicator tree failed. It went to the workshop and they removed the steering column covers. About 2-ounces of dried, powdery tobacco came out with it. You see, I used to rest my elbows on the steering wheel so I could roll my cigarette while driving. Sometimes you hit a bump and lose a little tobacco, and it went straight into the steering column shroud and messed up the indicator tree.

[@justindearmond1]

"cigarette".... Man, that was Panama Red.

[@BradGryphonn]

@@justindearmond1 Nah, I'd pull up for that. It's a bit hard to pack a bong and smoke it when you're doing 60 down the highway.

[@thedreadpiratefisherman5325]

*"You see, I used to rest my elbows on the steering wheel so I could roll my cigarette while driving."* Driver you're not supposed do that while driving a truck that can weigh up to 80,000 pounds. Consider yourself lucky to have not had a catastophic event and I'm glad you're not driving a truck anymore. I'll guess you worked for and got trained by SWIFT?

[@BradGryphonn]

@@thedreadpiratefisherman5325 Nah, mate. I wrote their training manual.

[@thedreadpiratefisherman5325]

@@BradGryphonn 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣You're funny to take credit for the #1 worst training ever devised by any trucking company. Their new drivers are the bane of truckers, truck stops, roads, highways, shippers and receivers. Where SWIFT goes disaster is their constant companion. I'm 74 and drove big rig trucks for 40 years son.

[@alanmumford8806]

Gotta hand it to that last engine for simply refusing to quit!

[@matthewmartin5763]

Actually, I think I hear it crying for someone to kill it. 😂

[@UCCLdIk6R5ECGtaGm7oqO-TQ]

Some of these are just typical wear and tear, e.g. the worn control arm bushing, and loose ball joint. Wear generally has to reach this level for a driver to even become aware that a part needs replacing - not exactly a 'mechanical nightmare'.

[@100GTAGUY]

It's the ongoing and neglected wear that does eventually become a nightmare when the owner doesn't realize the signs of wear or damage. Perhaps there's not many extreme examples in this clip today, but the nightmares are still out there.

[@paulthomson2375]

Picky.

[@scorpiodraco-uc1vp]

Agreed

[@jthonn]

I'm glad you said it. Worn out bushings and such are typical. At least this time they didn't show a worn out turbo.

[@massimookissed1023]

_"Why does my engine sound like that?"_ "Because it's fucked."

[@keithlibner9259]

At 3:50 it's a Nissan, probably due for it's 45,000 mile oil change.

[@keithlibner9259]

Sorry, probably should have said it's first oil change at 45,000.

[@craigdowney6438]

I once saw an exhaust system routed through the truck bed. The pipes came out about 2 inches and then went into a 3 inch plastic pipe with a flap valve on top!

[@SqeakyToy]

I laughed out loud at the fence post exhaust pipe.

[@scorpiodraco-uc1vp]

Stainless steel! A guys gotta do what a guys gotta do lol

[@SpawnofChaos]

@@scorpiodraco-uc1vp Fence posts are galvanized steel, not stainless. They'd cost probably close to a thousand each if they were stainless!

[@vipervidsgamingplus5723]

Sometimes you have to make due with what you have.

[@emanuelorta7057]

Gotta make due what y got 😂😂😂

[@briancooper4959]

1:26 "My tire went flat all of a sudden." Yeah, right. It went flat after you 'suddenly' hit that curb at thirty mph. This goes right along with, "It just started making that noise." 2:10 Yes, as a native Michiganian, I can promise you that this happens all too frequently. 2:48 244,985 miles. I think that you got your money's worth here chief.

[@John_Ridley]

Engines should last AT LEAST that long. My current car is a Ford 4 cylinder, 210K, only thing ever done to it is a new thermostat about 50K ago, doesn't burn a drop of oil. I've run many cars from new to 200+K and never had a single dead engine. I'm in Michigan so they always rust out and become unsafe to drive first.

[@100GTAGUY]

@@John_Ridley I'm glad we usually only use sand for the lil bit of snow we get in the Colorado banana belt, I picked up a 93 ranger with like only 30k miles last year and the lack of major corrosion was beautiful. It's got plenty of surface rust don't get me wrong but it's light enough I can buff it off with Scotch Brite. The biggest issue is the half ass Jerry rigged repairs the last six owners did to it lmao. Apparently they all really hated engine systems required by the EPA... I'm hoping to give it enough TLC over the years so it can get me well past the 200k mile mark, it's got good bones but just needs some love.

[@John_Ridley]

@@100GTAGUY My current car is at 209K and is amazingly clear of rust. My wife kept it garaged and washed it pretty often, and she also had the shop do some rust treatment when it started to get surface rust a while back. The amazing thing is, at 209K, still has the original clutch. We've run several manual trans cars over 200K and never had to replace a clutch. We do have the advantage that a lot of the miles we put on cars are highway miles so zero wear on the clutch then.

[@SantaClaw]

That loud ticking smoke bellowing Nissan, = Cleaning the DPF, perfectly normal.

[@mmllmmll22]

Just a 1.5dCi normal operating sounds.

[@SantaClaw]

@@mmllmmll22 Yup, My mom has the 1.6 dCI - 130 bhp - Much better engine.

[@shanemitchell477]

White smoke???? Usually a head gasket and water being burned inside the combustion chamber.

[@AlexandarHullRichter]

I'm still wondering what that tail from the exhaust was and what caused it. Was there a rodent nest in the exhaust or something like that?

[@watsisbuttndo829]

Most likely the fibreglass/rockwool sound absorbent material from inside the muffler. Muffler has fractured internally and allowing an exit path for the material.

[@AlexandarHullRichter]

@@watsisbuttndo829 now that's interesting. All of the muffler's I've seen cut open are just steel with shaped panels inside to direct the airflow weirdly and cancel out sound.

[@watsisbuttndo829]

@@AlexandarHullRichter the muffler you describe is called a reactive muffler, banging sound waves off each other to break them up, theres also apsorptive mufflers, those are the ones when you look inside them theres just a straight through hole with perforations, think sportsbike aftermarket muffler or hot dog style car muffler , some cars can have both types of muffler to cover the greatest range of harmonics.

[@scorpiodraco-uc1vp]

Last one sounds like it had a thumper cam in it 🤣

[@CommodoreFloopjack78]

Oh, come on. Literally everybody knows Frosted Mini-Wheats in the airbox is good for another 15hp easy.

[@razter6678]

If you put a K&N sticker on the airbox that's worth another 5

1:08 Seriously... A clip about broken bushing?

[@ivanolsen7966]

why not ?

[@wafflelife6028]

I relate the the one with the stolen cat, my exhaust pipe is also a fence post lmao but luckily I still have my cats

[@stevie-ray2020]

3:59 Were those rotors shipped to the dealership without any packing, then thrown around the workshop for good measure? .....Or as I suspect, 2nd hand rotors resurfaced with a blunt lathe-bit which has 'chattered' all the way across the rotors!?!

[@CrazyBear65]

It's hard to even find a shop that turns rotors and drums anymore. Used to be damn near every serious shop had a lathe, course, used to be damn near every gas station was a shop, and NAPA sold carb rebuild kits...

[@sailordave1000]

Not suppose to use a fence post to fix the exhaust. Your suppose to use flexible metal dryer vent pipe and hose clamps. (Joking)

[@nathanjones2242]

4:08 is that the cam? Never heard an engine idle like that

i got a tail on my ford transit too! i couldnt stop laughing when i saw it lol

[@CastroTheMexican]

Can you explain what’s happening there?

[@Graham_Langley]

@@CastroTheMexican The inner pipe of a silencer (UK) has rusted to nothing and this is the glass fibre fill coming out.

[@robertheinkel6225]

Glass packs still in use on modern cars. We used to put them on muscle cars for more power.

😂🤣😂 I’m sure I’ve heard a Model T sound better than some of these cars. 😂🤣😂👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🤪😜😝😜🤪😉

[@CrazyBear65]

Google seems to think that GM only used Detroit 2 stroke diesels before they went to the dirtymax, but I drove two Chevy rollbacks that had a 4 stroke Caterpillar turbo V8 similar to smallblock size. I had one spin a bearing and I had to limp it back to the shop. The other one we had to rebuild the injector pump. The spun bearing sound is an unmistakable one. The injector pump was a whole 'nother sound.

[@CrazyBear65]

Edit: Oh, and the dirtymax in the 02 rollback... Yeah. That mofo caught fire.

[@AlexandarHullRichter]

I think it's kind of funny that the central part of your logo is a chain ring for a bicycle with SRAM 3-bolt direct-mount crank arm.

[@justincooper5189]

It is funny, but I also see it as a suggestion for the inattentive people who own cars. Basically telling them that since they can't take care of their vehicle, they should get a bike.

No, more like muffler/silencer wadding.

[@bensgarage8325]

The last engine is just cammed 😏

[@marymulrooney1334]

00:46 So what was that connected to the tail pipe? Looked like some sort of fiberglass?

[@TheStevedie]

I'm not a mechanic but i think its the packing material from the muffler. I could be 100% wrong though lol.

[@SantaClaw]

It's the sound deadening in the rear muffler that is coming out, the mufflers are filled with Glass Fiber, this happens when the wire mesh/grid that holds the glass fiber in place, rusts out. There is a tube that goes in the middle of the muffler full of holes, and between that tube and the walls of the muffler, you have this glass fiber to absorb sound. Often this can cause the exhaust to be clogged to the point of stalling the engine completely.

[@shanemitchell477]

@@SantaClaw Don't even need the muffler, usually the cat is enough sound deadening by itself, just cut it off, will sound better too.

[@SantaClaw]

@@shanemitchell477 That's very dependent of the car/engine/exhaust size.

Ive had that happen - I thought it was the "guts" out of the cat converter!
