Rebuilding a Wrecked 2021 Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat Pt1

So after posting a video of Copart not releasing my Durango and all of my subscribers help the next day the car left the yard and showed up 2 days later thank you everyone that shared it. Now that the Durango is here it is pretty hard to not just rebuild it but I need to get the Charger Wagon finished so I will push forward and rebuild this and then get it all buttoned back up after SEMA and maybe with some power mods for it as well.

It should not have taken an army of people complaining to get you what you paid for! Regardless, I'm glad to see you finally got the damned thing!

[@BlankBillions]

them views gonna go right up, can’t wait to see the wagon on its first startup… you should keep the Durango too, they’re gonna be worth a pretty penny down the line.

[@Junkyard_Dave]

I keep most of the stuff I buy

[@hemimagnum3044]

The video is titled rebuilding a Durango part 1 I think that should tell ya. Dave your garage gives me wet dreams man between the horses the paint the cylinder count next you’ll need a trx/viper/ or srt10 viper truck

[@RadDadisRad]

Lol, he has a junkyard, figuratively and literally.

[@Deussues]

The Durango is Dave’s new daily hopefully

[@joshflinsy134]

I love when he just goes straight to work

[@greengabe5]

Awesome Dave! I’m glad to see that Copart has finally stopped sitting on their hands

[@eln0n01]

The branch where he got this car from suuuucks, my wife worked there for 2 months she quickly found another job because management is trash, once Dave posted the information for the manager I understood why they were playing with him so much

[@geoffdowney9295]

Very happy you got the Durango. Hopefully the influx of emails/calls helped expedite things. Hope she starts up soon.

[@Streetwerxgarage]

Anybody else get a valvoline ad when he picked up the mob1l oil

[@FastLaneLyfe]

I gave Copart a negative review on your behalf. I'm glad they finally honored their obligation. Cheers 🍻 Dave!

[@Junkyard_Dave]

Thanks again!

[@FastLaneLyfe]

@@Junkyard_Dave it's the least I could do. Keep up the great work.

[@bigsexymuthashutyomouth2546]

Glad to see that you finally got the Durango. I was willing to go get that damn thing for you because they were frustrating the hell out of us lol.

[@MrWoodyBalto]

Dave's out here collecting Hellcats like Hot Wheels.

[@naimatzaman1887]

Dave, hurry up and get the next part out. U got me on knife edge on this new project. Cut out the airbags to allow more light in.

[@MrJinga27]

Seems our copart reviews may of helped..great that its arrived for you at last.

[@wurmpool]

Finally. Congratulations

[@maxst2]

Oohhhh its in the grey too... siiiiick. You just need a TRX and you've collected the whole hellcat set haha

[@D4rkySp4rky]

I've always wanted to get a wrecked sports car from copart and rebuild it but always get cold feet. So I'll just live through you lol. Congrats on finally getting that thing

[@richardthomas1743]

Awesome ! Glad that things are finally coming together !

[@davidpedwardsiii5581]

I love when surgery begins and you see the recovery beginning 👍🏾

[@camarocharger8180]

Just wanna say that a couple of weeks ago I got one of your latest Charger videos in the recommendations, had to check the entire playlist, few videos at a time, finished watching all of it last night. All I wanna say is, that project is one of the best on YT and the amount of attention to detail you've put in that car is just amazing. You've done an amazing job sir, definitely gonna sub and see how everything turns out. Cheers man 🥂

[@samiwafi3039]

Please don't be late for the next video

[@802Garage]

Glad you were actually able to get it! Really cool vehicle.

[@antoniofaulkner6892]

Thanks for showing you vacuuming the truck. I don’t know why but it’s satisfying seeing something going from dirty the clean.

[@Junkyard_Dave]

Yeah it makes a difference

[@Stoyvster]

Check the filter it probably has “factory installed” printed on it. They are always very tight from the factory as they are prob not installed with oil on the seal. Also that’s an intelligent battery sensor not a breaker. It just monitors battery state of charge. It looks like the ignition is cycling instead of starting. You prob need to really push the brake pedal down hard to start as the brake pedal switch isn’t moving enough for the switch to say the brake is being pressed.

[@darksidemajor6780]

I'm happy to see you received the Durango see what happens when a little teamwork is applied... Now you can get finished building this masterpiece go Dave go!!!!💪💪💪🔥🔥💯

[@jamesjohnson4093]

You're content just keeps getting better Dave!

[@williammanor2137]

Hey I'm so happy for you so glad you finally got the durango. I can't wait until you rebuild it. I love this channel your content is awesome.

[@joe.b206]

Can’t wait to see it back up and running. Great find! Glad you finally got it after all the BS.

[@CorollaMAD97]

Awesome hope it all comes together well for you dave always good to see another savage project

[@JK4fam2008]

So glad when I see a new video!! Great job can’t wait to see them both done

[@vinceimp9581]

Funny how fast that Durango shows up after their shenanigans were put on blast for all to see. Glad it finally made it happen and to bad it took what it did to get it. It was some total nonsense to say the least but let hope they learned their lesson and it is well worth it on your end. Looks like some fun to come.

[@patrickmoodabe9728]

So glad you got this sorted Dave!!! Hell yeah!!! 🤙🤙🤙

[@markt4cali]

I can't wait to see these projects finished!

[@jaredholley6530]

I just want to thank you for awesome videos!

So glad you got the durango 😎👌🏼 after all that crap you went through with Copart love this color on the durango but hopefully you get this thing started 💪🏽😤

I'm glad you finally got the Durango. That ordeal with Copart was ridiculous.

[@shaunpc2512]

I’m so glad to see that you’ve been united with your Durango Dave, it’s about time really but hey at least you’ve got it now buddy. Good luck with the project, it looks like a easy enough fix for you 👌🏻

[@manuelmaldonadojr.306]

I'm glad that you are making these videos! I have a 2000 Mercedes CLK 320 and I hope to put a 392 6speed out of a Challenger in it eventually. I think that the power to weight ratio would be incredible. Again thank you for the video content it is very inspiring. Take care man!

[@dxd48c]

Way to go Dave!

[@Darckstar52]

Finally!! Can't wait til the next video.

[@NathansMoparGarage]

[@RatherBeRestoring]

Glad Copart finally stopped fkn around! I’m sure you’ll get that no start figured out quickly. I’m excited to see the new heart in the wagon!!

[@marqgoonwalker9610]

Dave my man u are a genius

[@weatherwatchmore381]

Same thing happened to my grandparents on the highway near Vernal Utah. Dear came out of no where smashed half of the windshield crunched the pillar. And trashed the door. But that was in 2013

[@cocmaster4474]

Nice it finally arrived

That trailer had that fancy "Soft Decking" option. It flexes and pops as you roll over it.

Can't wait until you are done

[@brianproffitt7263]

Damn that is a pretty light wreck, gonna be pretty cool when you get it back together. Sad how fast people wreck brand new vehicles like this.

Thats a great color too!

Dave seems more excited about this one than the Charger/Magnum! Lol I can’t wait for both. It would be neat if they were both painted the same. Either way, can’t wait for this turn out as well! 💯 Shout out from Chicago! *fist bumps you* 🤜🏽🤛🏻

[@martinedwards7607]

Great Car Great Job.

[@btbcc12859]

The headlights looks good.

[@Junkyard_Dave]

the driver is busted

[@myfastcars]

Dave.. SHORT TO GROUND on any part of the battery buss would IMMEDIATELY leed to smoke and fire and or blown fuses. Check ALL the fuses and see if any are blown. That would be my first go to area. Also throw a good scan tool on it and see if there are ant DTCs. If the air bags are deployed, that could also cause a Collision Safety Circuit to be active leading to a NO Start issue. Make sure that you check the BODY MODULE for DTC that could cause the Theft Deterrent / Crash/Collision circuit to employ. Good Luck Brother. Looking forward to see MORE videos on this project.

[@1leggeddog]

Hey Dave, my mother hit a deer about 10 years ago in her Honda Pilot And her damage was very, eerily similar manner as yours. What happened was when it hit, she drove down into a V-shaped ditch on the right side of the road, slid across the wet grass, the car turned 90 degrees to the right (perpendicular to the road) and the rolled onto its driver side, in the V of the ditch. Driver door and rear door were still perfectly fine and opened up after the car was flipped back onto its wheels, but the front clip was mangled and the rear driver back pillar was crushed.

[@Will_JJHP]

I'm assuming your mom was ok?

[@1leggeddog]

@@Will_JJHP yes, just a few bruises!

[@Will_JJHP]

[@IM4UCKEDUP]

Tape the rear glass on outside and then break it there won’t be a big mess and you can use gloves to push it out

[@chaunceychauncey6580]

Love this definitely

[@jokerash]

What you replaced there is the IBS sensor which sits on the negative pole, telling the ECU how to charge the battery. You need to take out the positive cable and that one has a fuse embedded , connected to the airbag system, whenever airbags are deployed this fuse pops preventing fuel pump to work and other components. On some cars, the dashboard doesn't even light up when that is blown.

[@Menomaro]

You got it! The reviews ranked that place lol

[@autobez3132]

Another great build # 🚗 🚘

[@MM_in_Havasu]

Funny thing, once Copart started getting some scathing reviews, that your rig got released RIGHT now......glad you received it & it's my opinion, judging from the title of this video, that you should rebuild the Durango HC, damage doesn't look that terrible. Thanks for the great video and keep up the good work!

[@VaughanGuitars]

So Dave, Give us the run down on how you got the Durango released. A lot of viewers including myself sent emails out to Copart from your links to them.

[@americanpatriot2.06]

They better have waived ALL of the fees and charges incurred to THEIR BS! Clearly, there was some shady stuff going on and it seems that particular place has a track record of extorting money from buyers over BS!

They didn't like bad publicity I guess lol and thanks

[@kevinchibnellsmith7942]

pull out the rear quarter a bit to get tail gate to open rather than cutting the hatch as the quarter has to come of anyway

[@robthomas3664]

My old Durango would've been a decent transplant candidate to go along with that. It was a '17 GT V-6 model, 150k miles. Last month, a black truck, on an unlit 2 lane road, ended up across my lane of travel. The oncoming traffic blinded me to everything else in the area. The resulting t-bone left the windshield busted, the dash ripped and torn from the airbags, and the engine bay section trashed. Everything behind the dash & windshield was still damned near pristine. Ins. Co. Totalled it out...
