I won a Flooded Cadillac Allante from Hurricane Ian! Can we fix it and Drive it 1700 Miles Home?

[@fasteddy917]

All the car guys watched to the end. The Trolls are all sure Randy has a body double with him doing the work and he's taking the glory. Absolutely perfect, "It's 1am and the parts stores are closed so I have to get the starter working." moment. Car turns over a couple of times and runs. I wonder how many of us were sitting on the driveway with you fellas offering advise. Transmission fluid reminded me of something one of the ladies would have brought to a church social.

[@goodboy6113]

That's an old-school auto auction rebuilds video right there. Watched every minute of it, absolutely loved it.

[@retrofriends]

Don't think I ever saw 3 guys do an oil change. Thank you for that.

[@carlbernard4197]

Both engine oil and transmission fluid together ❤️ 😊

[@danieldiaz9502]

I have been waiting on this collaboration for years!! Sooo happy it has finally happened. Randy, Mike and Al, three of my favorites together!!! Great content!!

[@jamesbaxterinsideoutsideim1765]

Agreed

[@bren70ssss94]

Al is a cool guy , been subbed to him for years 😊

[@thevexxus8055]

for real ive watched so many vids idk how many but alot gotta say this is by far 1 of my fav videos on the channel anyone whos stayed up late to fix whatever is wrong with your rig and like randy said it feels like 1 step forward and 2 back but then it works just a perfect video for any car lover or hater LOL so good TY Randy Mike and AL

[@Raiders_Nation84]

Randy you are hitting outside the park this year with these collabs. I subbed to AL cause he does what you do. Finding good deals for the low.

[@CanDutch]

Agree! Seems like a decent guy.

[@carlbernard4197]

​@dennisd9852 that place shown on his shirt I lived about 1.5 hours from there foe over 20 years. Was in Southbridge, Massachusetts for 18 years.

[@BigJon22091]

One of your best videos, Randy. Shout outs to Big Al and Mike as well.

[@samgrabel8648]

That is definitely the Allante that use to frequent the store I use to work it was an older gentleman that lived in south Sarasota county. Such a sad way for a car to go

[@sarahandgaryburgess604]

Love the long video randy takes me back to your earlier days more hands on well done problem solving very enjoyable vid

[@nathankim7664]

2023 and you're already hittin' it outta the park! (or the moon for that matter) THANK YOU FOR THE AWESOME VIDEO RANDY!!!!

[@BigJon22091]

Man, I couldn’t wait to see this collaboration. Awesome Video, guys.

[@michaelpoynter4313]

That was amazing Randy. I thought you were wasting your time on that starter but I was wrong. That rebuild of it was just great. As for Big Al I’ve always thought his channel deserves way more subscribers. Mike, as always, was great.

[@mikereinhardt4807]

So nice to watch real mechanics work, opposed to part replacers!...

[@sccarguy8242]

Always been a big fan of Al, this was a great episode!!

[@JGarcia2016]

Amazing work and you re-building that starter it was great watching you do it with out any research or help at all 😂

[@seymour5575]

This is EPIC because this is the most work I have seen Randy ever do since I have been watching him FACTS.

[@davidluciemable3778]

THIS is good content! My gosh, I was on the edge of my seat! This is genuinely amazing work, bravo!

[@Kirawolf1971]

I had a Cadillac Allante in the 90s. I like it.

[@jimdavis3913]

Randy this was one of your best videos.really enjoyed it.look forward to part 2.

[@barrywgoodwin3923]

Well done. I was captivated by the whole show. Personally, I do not mind videos being split up, as it gives me something to look forward to. I cannot wait to see if this car totally comes back to life. I have had issues with wiring before because of corrosion and as I do not have the resources to hire a mechanic some of the time, I simply start pulling them apart clean with fluid film or wd 40 put them together pull them apart, then back together, and that almost always fixes the issue. For your cluster check the fuses, corrosion is almost sure will be there, and spray everything under there, same with the window switches, fluid film for those, soak them down and move the switches back and forth, you may need to expose everything, but they should come back to life. I live in Nova Scotia Canada, and we are in a high-salt environment so this is not new to us. Good luck, love the content, and finally Randy you got this.

[@carlbernard4197]

Am in Upper Michigan myself and on a quiet night in the winter you can hear the vehicles rusting 😂😂😂

[@bc8683]

The joy displayed by all when that Caddy fired up is a joy only known by car guys and gals. All that work and frustration was well worth it. Great video!

[@ThriftMachine]

Randy's milkshake brought all them boys to the yard.....apparently

[@suewatson1912]

Monkey Wrench Mike is my hero. His vast amount of knowledge saved the day.

[@TheBattleMaster100]

I love the way you guys had fun while you worked. That was amazing teamwork. The only buzz kill in the comments is the ones who always have some dad, brother or uncle whose ASE certified wanna pick everything to pieces. Like just enjoy the video my guy.

[@MrWolfSnack]

I'll tell you that those "ASE certified mechanics" don't know where the engine is on a Previa. Every time they lift the front hood and then they can't find it.

[@yazanbaddawi9683]

Great to see all of you togather in one video.

[@bluesmobil-gunnar]

So happy for you that the car runs. And that starter repair - that's really the best kind of repair. Well done Randy and Mike 👍

[@richroj]

I love the shirt that Big Al is wearing.

[@SH-di8im]

I watch everyone of Randy’s videos and also Big Al

[@lonman154]

Guys. That was awesome!!!! I had never seen a transmission with a mess like that inside. Can’t wait for follow up video

[@chargeron3115]

Randy the Moonlight Mechanic.

[@felixy2009]

This is the BEST Vlog yet. Amazing video!!!

[@heartofdixie67]

We will always watch the videos no matter how long they are Randy !!! Good Stuff !!!❤👍🙏

[@LittleMoes_Motivation]

Hey Randy.... another quality video!! The Allante is an awesome car !!! Don't listen to haters, because they probably do not have the ability to critical think and trouble shoot !! Great job!!

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

Thanks but my name is Randy.

[@LittleMoes_Motivation]

@Auto Auction Rebuilds omg !!! I am sorry about that Randy!!! I was a part of the vid when you said his, when i wrote that..... again I'm sorry, I ment no disrespect!!

[@OatesSteve]

When The Cadillac started it put the biggest smile on my face great job guys.

[@KevRalph]

Been watching him on and off for years, he should have more views and subs

[@realguy577]

Look at randy sounding like an expert talking about how the water eats the glue in the clutches of the transmission. Nice work Rands!!!

[@brandonmorris2513]

Big Al, Mike and Randy. The 3 Stooges. This is great!!! Big Al is about as cool as they get.

[@gheechiedan9299]

What a FANTASTIC video Randy and friends! VERY enjoyable!

[@Thanos.m]

That was one of the most fun video I've ever whatched on channel great collab with Al could not believe an hour passed keep it up Randy !!!

[@malikdigger4544]

Awesome u guys got Cadillac Allante starter going in 12 hour time with just basic hand tools & impact driver but 1:04: 17 made it all worth big thanks to Monkey Wrench Mike & Big Al with information history about Allante.

[@kravenmoorhead5634]

The grabassery is next level on this channel. Bravo, and keep the videos coming!

[@turbotato]

Way to stick with it. Don't worry about the haters...I look forward to the next video. Thanks!

[@toolzshed]

The Allante looks amazing, love that red colour 🤘🏽❤️

[@bebemotocustom9582]

I actually like to watch one hour video when it’s entertaining…good job man

[@baitse7676]

From my experience with Ian vehicles, water can make it's way back through open exhaust valves as well. Bought a 2022 Jeep with a locked up motor.

[@markcoulson8245]

Killer video guys keep it up thanks definitely will be waiting for the next

[@armentasintrumentclusterre661]

Hopefully with your help randy al can get the subs and views her deserves, you the man!

[@ls6882]

Two legends meet each other haha! Perfect

[@MitchGrooms]

THIS IS THE BEST VIDEO YOU HAVE EVER DONE, I HAVE WATCHED YOU FROM DAY ONE..

[@NoahClay6]

Been loving these collabs and videos Randy! Watched the other 2 and they were great also gave a sub to Al as well. Can't wait for the rest! The Allante is great and it runs. Great videos.👍👌

[@daviddavis4444]

My Ex's boss had an Allante just like that he had bought for his wife but she hated. We would get it once in awhile to drive for a week to keep it from sitting I loved driving that thing

[@danielsmith9500]

I’m really enjoying these videos with all the collabs. Ofcourse I’m been subscribed to everyone but I’m enjoying y’all working together

[@Adam_SRT..717]

Great job Randy!

[@retrobear9367]

Nice Cavy convertible. I wanted a Cavalier z24 vert so badly back in the day. Ended up getting a white 98 z24 with a sunroof back in 04

[@joshuabreeden1211]

Randy your my hero buddy i could watch this video for hours all of yall did a great job i think..

[@rooseveltdumas304]

I'm glad you didn't give up.

[@stevecrell9633]

Really sweet to see you guys all working together!Watch all you guys on the tube

[@malibu1142]

Love this collab! big al is such a nice dude

[@bilalmehmood334]

That's a fantastic upload. As soon as the car cranks up. It's a moment of joy for all of us. 😅

[@dallass8665]

Randy Love it how 2 KZbinrs come together 😊 BigAl love your knowledge 😉 Another great video

[@francispoulina9435]

Randy, i didn't want to ff the video. I saw the whole video. I wish i could be there to make it work. I was angtious to see you make it work. Congrats. Best content ever. Awesome!!!!!!!!!

[@entropyfan5714]

Dude awesome! I've been watching this dude about as long as your channel, & that goes back to uberman. Love the collabs, keep 'em comin'.

[@WizardMower]

I Thought of big al seeing the video title, Then realized a cocaine white cavalier was in the picture, but didn't think it was al with the vette in the background. When I saw the background with the hefty fence I KNEW it! It's AL!!

[@peterkwok9608]

Good job Randy, Monkey wrench Mike and Big AL bike and auto 😎😎👍👍 glad you all fix the starter.

[@toolzshed]

Randy come on you're a great Mechanic, screw the negative comments!

[@billkiesewetter1271]

Randy….great video, you went back to your roots. Mike & Al also added immensely to the overall show. This video has excellent, intelligent discussion and wonderfull show and tell. Looking forward to part 2. Thanks!

[@kapekodbob]

Good job ! Proves it can be done ! Again !

[@mattfoster3100]

I like Al’s Oldsmobile cutlass supreme.

[@WalterKnox]

Personally, I have never been a big GM (or really any semi-modern American car) guy. I am more into old Toyotas, Hondas and Volvos. You know... the cockroach cars. But I used to work at a car lot that my friends owned, and we had some pretty nice cars that you don't see much of anymore. The two that I would really liked to have gotten were a really good shape Cadillac Allante, and a really nice Chevy Corsica.

[@charleswillis9956]

Dirty hands great keep it up Randy

[@Oxtailgraavy2023]

Man randy you hit the road running with this one.. great start to the new year loved it loved the humor!! Big Al definitely deserve a sub

[@joehomanick]

@Whistlindiesel526 scammer spammer

[@chrislemaster2695]

Yes on GM cars you had to put your foot on the brake to shift out of park. I know I had a 1992 Olds 98

[@gregcromer8406]

Great work Big Al, Mike, and Randy!

[@justsomerandomguy4269]

What a beautiful car. I love the styling on those and this one is in great condition. Someone clearly took great care of it before. Shame it got wet but I’m sure it can still be a fun car.

[@ThriftMachine]

My grand daddies hound dogs would've barked at that starter till it acted right

[@kevinlarson7661]

Great job Randy

[@southmemphisbro27]

Randy Mike and Al u guys do amazing

[@dylanclarke864]

This is one of my favorite videos this is awesome

[@rmx77]

in my case i prefer longer videos. i have only seen one of these in this color bout 13 years ago. not a bad car. to bad its not the version with the vertical cassette player but hell its not bad. clean it up fix what it needs and maybe send it to an allante collector.

[@ericzochowski3749]

great to see you wrenching Randy, well done on fixing the starter motor

[@Scotts23]

I've never seen or heard of these cars before but I have to say that it's a bloody good looking car especially in red also im loving these new videos good on you Randy great to see Mike aswell the pair of you together are fantastic love it 👍🏻🚗👍

[@keithneal4410]

Great video everyone. Looking forward to the follow up and the drive home.

[@GrandCamino6]

Impressive! I was yelling at the screen that a local starter/alternator shop and rebrush your existing starter for you but you figured it out. That’s awesome! Personally I’m digging the longer videos 👍🏼

[@steverado87]

Big Al does it again!

[@prrichgaby]

Boioioing shut up Beavis! Cracked me up!🤣

[@nathantatosian280]

Hi Randy this video we have been waiting for

[@edwardtc8129]

Randy this video has been amazing, I personally have never seen transmission fluid like that before ever and brilliant work with the starter motor. I am really looking forward to part two seeing what happened next. You are an awesome Randy, keep up the brilliant videos

[@gregcox3441]

Great video as usual Randy. That Cadillac Allante looks exactly like the one Joe Pesci drove on Lethal weapon 3

[@joeirish3699]

The cgi budget must be huge the cgi Randy looked so realistic working on the starter 😋 kidding great video .

[@tenmillionvolts]

Nice one Randy. As long as you get deep in to a repair yourself now and then, I don't mind if you get help with the other bits and pieces. We all love a 'will it run' video, and this one didn't disappoint. Can't wait for part 2

[@Maidoumurnot]

Wow, it looks like a taffy machine. Love the trans fluid

[@Bison90]

Great job randy you did it

[@MaximusGaming]

I watched it all the way to the end? I was like yes!! When it fired up and chuckled with the water shooting out the exhaust 😁💪

[@markbehr88]

Loved the episode. I am subscribed to all of you guys.

[@THAH0N3STCHANNEL]

Dirty hands do ya Thang randy watching you inspired me to work on my own cars thank you for all you do hoping I meet ypu this year somewhere sir

[@danielmartin5951]

Man that's crazy how bad the trans fluid was iv never seen it any where that bad never thought it could look like that from water glad to see u guys stayed on it an at least got it running can't wait to see next episode

[@macabresuede]

Who remembers Kelly Bundy doing an Allanta commercial back in the day? It was not a real commercial but a skit on Married With Children.

[@frankm8533]

Wasn't that when she did the Bundy bounce or something such a great show

[@macabresuede]

@@frankm8533 Yes. That was the Bundy Bounce episode.

[@jorgem5222]

Incredible guys what a nailbiter 😮

[@mexicanspec]

You are a hell of a salesman, Al, even though Randy already owns the car.
