[@user-cx8hs4hz2k]

Randy, love the channel, just curious where you got the information on GM trucks. I’ve driven GM trucks all my life putting a lots of miles on them due to work, I have never heard or experienced the issue that you mentioned.

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

You might want to Google it. You're lucky. I've personally had it happen to me, which caused me to research the issue.

[@user-cx8hs4hz2k]

Thanks for the info, unfortunately you and I both know you can’t believe everything you read on the internet. But I hate that you personally experienced the issue. I currently own a 2020 and a 2023 Silverado both ltz 5.3 trucks. I will definitely do some research, if it turns out this is a huge issue, I may look into switching brands. Love your channel keep up the great content.

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

This isn't just believing things I have heard. The forums are loaded with this issue, so is KZbin where you can literally watch the issue.

[@steveosgood9182]

cylinder deactivation problems are a well known issue that have a high failure rate. Google "gm cylinder deactivation problems" the problem is bad enough that the aftermarket makes kits to deactivate it. I have watched several youtube channels speaking about the problem

[@VoiceOfTheVulnerable]

It's a coin toss. All the V8 trucks have AFM, which has a tendency to break one of the lifters and valves rear right on engine, and destroys the cam, which is a catastrophic engine loss. They started to phase it in around 2007, and they still have it today in the 5.3 and 6.2 gas engines. The diesel doesn't use that system, because it already gives you better gas mileage. I'm also afraid of this new turbo 4 in the trucks. I see a problem ahead. I'll keep my '09 4.8 Silverado that does NOT have AFM. If you have AFM, get the delete kit...$4000.

[@Sbrillo43]

The dynamic duo is back. Love you guys!

[@jamesbaxterinsideoutsideim1765]

Absolutely LOVING all of the extra content and walk around videos. Also love having monkey pox Mike hanging out with you, y’all keep me laughing

[@RaulAlvarezHPsv]

I love Mike! he is a fun guy all the time ahah.

[@amadeo_serrano]

30:30 Part of the problem (possibly a very large part) would be that GM is having a lot of their cars built in China and, I think that Buick was one marque that has some of it's cars built there. That could be one

[@timeforchange3786]

"I need better gas mileage" also Randy "if it doesn't have a V8 it sucks" 😆 I bet the bracelets were made by children. My grand children make them for me. I carry them in my wallet.

This video was a riot! Glad you can have some fun while checking out the cars. I like the looks of the Buick cascada but wow, that was some peak GM build quality...

[@VoiceOfTheVulnerable]

In all fairness, you are looking at a vehicle at a dealer auction, with no idea how roughly it was treated by it's previous owner. I know GM, like all automakers, has issues, so we can't 100% blame everything on build quality. I once did estimates for Avis/Budget which went to auction with the cars. The abuses I saw to some of these vehicles was beyond belief! Some people are just hard on a vehicle.

[@alexflosho]

I am always confused by the Ford dinging. When you were checking out the F150, the first time you opened the drivers door, it made ine noise, then the second time, it made a different noise!

[@theCringefurry]

Randy be making videos quick at feels like A second everytime

[@ronwig7665]

I love watching you 2 together, your funny with the jokes and pranks

[@85klstewart]

Ambient air temperature sensor on the Ram its under the driverside mirror turns on check engine light and makes the exterior temp read wrong.

[@erichealy8381]

Great To See You Guys Together Again

[@MrClutch440T4]

Randy, the HD (2500/3500) versions of the Chevy/GMC pick up trucks have a 6.0L non DOD/AFM gas engines. They have hydroboost brakes (no vacuum brake booster, runs off p/s pump) for HD towing. Great engine if you don't want 5.3L of 6.2L.

[@user-ry4fe9sk4z]

I love❤ such Videos with you and Mike. Make my day better so much😂 please more of such Videos

[@user-jB0a9nsOVa]

11:22 and 12:04 😂😂 the door open chime on that f150 changed 😂😂😂

[@OogaBooga-hc6ks]

There really isn’t anything like that GM quality. I’m a GM guy myself but wow that was at best awful. Everything was broken, and it didn’t run right either. That’s a true money pit there. 😮

[@xscorpx]

GM should have went bankrupt and shut down in 2008.

[@t.l.robinson2162]

The two of you bring out the best in each other.

[@TheKing-zb7cw]

Also let’s not forget a voluntary repossession is still a thing, that encore gx is a Chevy trailblazer

[@timeforchange3786]

It's absolutely beautiful and at 29/31 gas mileage I love it!

Hope you find a good truck for MWM! Keep up the great work as always! Keep it up randy! Love to see MWM back on the channel !

[@16190john]

I love thé constant video content you’re giving ! I swear like 2 videos a day. Love it. Keeps me entertained. One of my fav KZbinrs

[@FunnySAVids]

That Buick is an exact copy of the Opel Astra K. The lights and everything.

[@chrislemaster2695]

I forgot to add the Ranger has AM/FM Cassette and FM modulated 10 disc changer andhas a little over 89,500 actual miles.

[@whiterastaproductions1846]

Keep collaboration with Mike both of you guys make a rough day better

[@nathankim7664]

Well, I know for sure that we're gonna reach 400K this YEAR!!!

[@destruct61]

That's so crazy I was literally thinking if you put some 26s on that Beatle I would drive it before you even saw the Buick with the big rims and then you started talking about putting those rims on the beetle lol tripped me out

[@davidkucher5.0Coy]

So much fun when you guys get together. Randy, Mike keep up the great work. 😎👌👍

[@arrievanrensburg8243]

That Impala looks like it was hit by the forklift ,they cause more damage than anything.

[@ifitaintbroke7427]

That hemi will quit ticking when it blows up!

[@josephcentola8991]

Much love and support from Boston 🙏🏻 ❤

[@turbotato]

If you HAVE to buy a beetle...get one with the 2.5 I-5 engine. The Turbo engines are quick, but super unreliable. My son had a '12 with the 1.8L and the check engine light was always on for something! VW got sued due to failures of the hydraulic tensioner for the timing chain. Their agreed settlement was pathetic.

[@johnmadow5331]

I used to be a fan of used car auction in the US long time ago when the US known to be one of the quality car producer. I have brought over than 10 used car and both US and foriegn made and have my friends repair them at reasonable price using junk yard parts! During these days, all used USA manufactured car that I belived assembled in China with much low quality parts than the U.S. A. standard are not financially worth repairing since most of them are financially drained and very hard to find some compients mechanic and body man to to repar these car correctly.

[@ihavestatic]

[@jimpetersen8095]

I drive a car hauler for a living, and I’m sorry I couldn’t buy a truck with a four or six cylinder. I need the power.

[@DasArab]

That Buick Cascada was sold in the UK as a Vauxhall Cascada. They were known by the trade rather unaffectionately as the Vauxhall Cassandra lol

[@jamesparker6017]

Coral Gables 🌴🇺🇸 Hehe. Those Buick convertibles are VERY popular down here. Snowbirds leave them here for Winter transport. 🏄

[@dannyisaacs3877]

I love Mike! he is a fun guy all the time ahah.🥰🥰

[@whatsoutthere6822]

IMHO, the last good Ram diesel was in 02. After then they moved the turbo to the front and it regressed after.

[@williamm.vazquez8801]

Randy And Monkey Wrench Mike Always Good Content 😂

So Monkey Wrench Mike Is A MotherQuacker 😂 Sound Like He Treats Those Ducklings Like Children

I still say Mike needs an Audi Smyth truck conversion. It's unique, like Mike. 👍🇺🇸😎

[@Davey_01]

Mikes laugh reminds me of Dr Hibbert from The Simpsons.. he’s hilarious 👍 from Ireland 🇮🇪

[@tiagomcadete]

The Buick convertible is just an european Opel Astra convertible. In Europe it's called Opel Cascada, I think.

[@DanT271]

I gotta say that’s a mean looking little beetle

[@timeforchange3786]

Love it but they had a bad reputation for breaking down...pretty much like all the cars Randy looks at.

[@thehunterkarlssont7750]

[@Lotsaslots6747]

“Smell dat”. You guys are nuts. Lol

[@randalcalvert270]

Maybe I was super unlucky, but I bought a Cascada with 4k mikes on it, which was a bit suspicious someone already traded it in before first oil change. About 5 years ago is when I had mine. Parts of the interior would fall off and crack apart when hitting bumps like a toy car. The top always rattled like a snake too bc GM uses *plastic* rollers for the convertible top system that folds into the trunk. The dealer told me the plastic deforms after a few uses. Had mine replaced and the loud rattles would come back after a few top open and close cycles. My outside temp sensor never left room temp, traffic alert beeped with no traffic, convertible top would throw errors sometimes. Many more issues such as brakes warping, engine evap purge valve, bubbles and cracks in the leather, etc. Had a loaner apex once a month for the year and a half I owned it. Dealer was not pleasant at first, but they became much better as we sorted through problem(s). Prettiest car I've owned by far, though. It was heartbreaking to break with the car, but mine was truly a hooptie. Traded in at 49k miles, before it lost any *more* value. Beautiful, but amazingly low quality.

[@richroggio]

that was great Rebuilds, you and Mike are the best 👍

Morning, Randy. New cars ans trucks aren't what they used to be. DEF spoiled diesels.

The convertable (and the black suv pullin up) isa Europe designed opel :) maybe thats why they look a little cooler :p

The only GM engine i would won would be a Buick 231 3800 series I II III. The last good engine was discontinued on August 18 2008.

GM has "AFM" (Active Fuel Management). Chrysler/Dodge has "DOD" (Displacement on Demand). Similar systems, different names for different companies.

[@vwgolffancarreviews7111]

In the UK the BUICK cosda is the Vauxhall cosda

[@layinlow1648]

Well, ford has a cam phaser failure and when they fail, they destroy the engine woth no chance of economically repairing it!! I recommend doing the DOD/AFM delete and have the best platform on the automotive platform!! Also anything with a manual amd HD does not have the dod/afm installed in it!

[@DaveHandler]

I bought a 2020 Escape SEL and the previous owner had the struts replaced in early 2022. The vehicle was not in an accident. There was a recall on struts. Maybe?

Hi Randy and Mike. I love that black Chevy with the Oversized wheels. It's a shame the originals weren't in the trunk. Or boot in Ireland lol. Lovely VW Beetle. God your truck needs to go if your not towing. And 16mls per gallon is Crazy. How can you have 2 car payments when your a Car wholesale dealer 😅. Something doesn't sound right. I cant Imagine Mike driving anything else but a truck. Wow $11.000 for that truck. No way. I wouldn't pay anything like that for it. Tell Mike I will buy him that G.M 6.2. 😅😅. Nice Buick convertible. Beautiful colour. Anyway great video again Randy and Chat laters bro 😅😅

[@skylerpeirce4313]

I actually work for a Buick dealership those rims on that Buick are after market, also randy we have a Ford flex u should come to Pa and get it

[@mahatma171]

I have been a GM guy since birth 😂 but my other most owned and loved brand? VW. I still have one but it’s broken 😂one day I’ll fix that little CC. I started with a bunch of Passats, one was even a 5 speed. Had two VR6’s, loved them. My love began to wane on the inherited ownership of a 1.8 turbo Beetle. Auto trans finally went into limp mode, I had had enough and it got sold. Can’t say the next car went any better- she wanted a PT Cruiser 😂 bad vehicle choices were her forte 😂😂

And i baught my 24s for my impala pre-owned but in decent condition had to get new tires but i take mine to car audio competition so it makes sense

[@IIRennanII]

The reason why the seat is like that is probably because some really tall guy was in there, I have a 2002 honda accord ex coupe and I have to put the seat all the way back because im over 6ft tall. I also happen to have some long arms so i tend to recline a lot.
