bro is the manual murderer, the clutch killer, the awd assassin, the differential defiler, the gearbox genocider

[@lateralus411]

Dat you Tony Hinchcliffe? 😂

[@ca2k747]

The rwd renegade and the fwd fearmonger

[@ppeller3]

I want to see what's left of the transmission/clutch!🤯

[@suspicionofdeceit]

Not much!

[@theman75277]

Same here

[@icecreamjunkie6790]

Probably not much

[@potatoe1bread358]

well somehow reverse

[@throwbacksonly]

Bro congrats on buying a new trans

[@LuisGarcia-cl4ij]

Take the ranger on a jump like you did with the raptor truck. Just do it!

[@MrPeteragent]

A Nike sticker on the door and let's go.

[@anthony350z4]

Great idea

[@Blue_Flame_Raptor]

Now we're thinking

[@EKFiPod]

i love this idea lol

[@MrUMENTAL]

Great idea lol😎

[@DarmiGames]

bro gave a whole new meaning to engine braking

[@sjk_official]

reverse engine braking

[@kenleppek]

Keep up the good danger ranger content brother. I'm living vicariously through you. These are all experiments I've wanted to try but never had a disposable vehicle to try them with.

[@gottahaveawawa7494]

Start gambling you can afford to do it

[@itbwen9672]

Danger ranger like it’s some quick and badass vehicle 🤣🤣🤣 I fkn can’t with some of yall. Trucks ain’t all that. But yall think of them like peaches and rainbows like your boyfriends.

[@reallyfeelsbadman]

I love when hes surprised when something goes wrong

[@SaraMorgan-ym6ue]

yeah I mean if your putting it in reverse while moving forwards at highway speed I would expect bad things to happen due to it being the wrong way to drive plain and simple

[@storiesbythefire.]

i don't think he's surprised it went wrong more just surprised about how it goes wrong

[@TheIronChainMaster]

Mike: Don't try this stuff at home Neutral Drop: we do this all day every day!

[@bmxdestroy]

No mercy reversees for the win! WHATS IT GOT, STUNTMAAAAAAAN!

[@Khalid_Armstrong87]

the facial expressions alone and zoom in on the nervous throat reaction made this video 😂😂😂

[@zacsmith7094]

I can see the for sale sign now, adult driven, well cared for..... $4,500 OBO. 😂

[@Todd_Gerhardt]

I know what I got don't try to lowball me lol

[@Fearagen]

Slightly worn transmission.

[@metricdeep8856]

I did this with a 1980 Monte Carlo. The car was being sold for 25 bucks to the wreckers....So a mechanic and I split the 25 bucks and he took the battery and AC compressor. It went into reverse at about 60km and shifted into reverse MUCH smoother than I expected (automatic transmission)....one tire tire just went up in smoke and the car gently slowed down...and in a straight line. The car was fine. We spent the rest of the day literally destroying that car like the Duke boys. There was nothing left of it other than scrap metal....but Monte fought bravely all day. I'm amazed at the abuse it took. Interestingly, you can get to almost 100km/hour in low first....but the car ain't happy doing it. FYI....I didn't try this at home...I did it on the street nearby where it was much safer to drive at those speeds. Most fun I ever had for $12.50.

Insurance company: How did you brake the transmission Mike? Mike: I was going 45 mph in 4L, and my knee just accidentaly bumped into the gearstick... 😇

[@willroeder6462]

Why would his insurance company care how his transmission broke?

@@willroeder6462 You didn't take that comment seriously, did you...?

[@willroeder6462]

@ not at all. But I still fail to see the connection between a broken down vehicle and an insurance company.

@@willroeder6462 Ok

[@travisconner1581]

Insurance isn't a warranty company. I've never understood why people think an insurance company would fix this.

[@raisingcainyt]

"Did you break down?" Autovlog: 😬😬😬

[@keelan270]

You should continue these crazy experiments & make a whole playlist out of them 👀

[@SaraMorgan-ym6ue]

oh no did you break down?🤣🤣🤣

[@marcccccccccc]

i love ur vibe in the vlogs ur really nice to watch man

[@sonnydee4736]

I totally tip my hat off to ya for trying these things that nobody else never thinks of or don't have the gute to try. Love the videos

[@TheGam3Br3akeR]

If I had the money to replace stuff and have a bunch of buddies at a garage I would buy junkers and do the same thing !

[@DRmuawia]

8:07 oh man that snap xD

[@BrokenMachine7230]

I’d love to see what the inside of that transmission looks like after these torture tests!

[@ericcarson9317]

Fix it and let the fun continue!!

[@macking104]

and there was the video on how much it cost to fix it last time... real test is... can you still haul a big boat down/ up a boat ramp after flicking the transmission?

[@Luke84726]

Absolute legend, I’ve always wondered this… subbed!!

[@computertutorials1286]

7:59 Transmission: Screw you. I'm done.

[@kanervatie]

Rolling burnout at 50mph, that thing is a BEAST! :D

[@charlton5787]

After all these years still enjoying your videos Mike you’re one crazy MoFo! Thanks for always entertaining us with your wild ideas.

[@KuntaKinteToby]

I really enjoy these 'stress test' videos seeing what machines can REALLY take if you abuse them lol

[@dalelavery3491]

Awesome video bud, I know you said you're getting a few things sorted but would love to see some sort of supercar on the channel again, much respect from South Africa.

[@ryanfrisby7389]

Lol, this was amazing! The Uber driver seemed nice at least!😹

[@intentben123]

I just found this channel this morning and these vids been making me laugh my ass off all morning ! Haha subscribed!

[@jeromerusselldemusicologist]

I was here yesterday hoping and wondering why you hadn't uploaded in over 2weeks... Good to see you Mike...

[@joshuag.3904]

Love seeing kool videos with this truck and it’s so good to see it still running and all that, and this is such a kool experiment in the truck, would love to see more awesome videos with this truck, and heard the big pop when ya got it in reverse, real big pop didn’t sound too good, keep up the good work Mike :)

[@-Ryan-1776]

I've been wondering this situation for yrs and finally it is being done.

[@col.greasebagmcqueen9933]

As a fellow Ranger owner, I know for a fact that these little trucks are tough as $h!t.

[@HellcatDreaminJosh]

AutoVlog Great Video I think it's awesome that you tested what would happened if you put the Danger Ranger in reverse while in 4wd while driving and I'm sorry to hear that you broke something and I hope it's nothing major

[@mrbob19561]

Did this with a 20.00 67 galaxie 500 wagon with a 390. Couldnt break it. Did crazy reverse burnouts

[@adeadlyfart13]

That damn clutch and flywheel must be burnt to hell, LMAO

[@jasonc7503]

I daily drive a manual and this hearing those gears screaming oh my God it hurts me so much but it's still a great video

[@seetheforest]

Fascinating video. I had a feeling things woukd not go well. Lets see what happened next.

[@colekitten1367]

Love those videos mike

[@LygerTheCLaw]

as a veteran mechanic, i can tell you this is a lot more dangerous than you probably even realize. if the transfer case grenades it could literally take your legs off. if you really are curious, look at transmission tunnel damage from some of the past cases. not so much from the transfer case itself, but from the fact you lose the front driveshaft as it beats under the car.

[@SHELBY13GT500]

That was great! More please!

[@HelloKittyFanMan.]

How long did it take for you to go back and get your unattended camera(s)?

[@NeitouSama]

I did that once for a FRACTION of a second on my car and I heard metal grinding and rocks under the shifter, thank goodness I caught it in time. I change the fluid meticulously, so it's running strong at almost 200k.

[@jugg1492]

EPIC VIDEOS. LOVE THE WHAT IF VIDEOS!!!!!!!!!

[@jclip3759]

So glad I found your video’s again. I just got myself a hoodie can’t wait til it shows up. Be careful we love watching this crazy shit. My buddy’s danger ranger melted to the road after it burst into flames as we were going down the road. My friend got it stoped an we jumped out. He forgot his cigarettes an went back In the flame ranger to get his butts. One of the funniest shit I’ve seen. All to get some weed when we were 18.

[@imkuntox]

i have always wondered this. thanks for being crazy

[@Russeljrjs]

dude is a legend.

[@ItChannel420]

Just discovered your channel, please don’t die doing what you love… 😂 anyways love the content mate

[@JH-oe7hf]

Man this channel has jumped the shark.

[@HelloKittyFanMan.]

Wait, how can you get it into 4WD while going that fast? Doesn't it have to be going at about 25 or less for 4H and 0 for 4L? What will the case do when it's going that fast?

[@LRF_101]

8:07 That sound was the clutch connection blow up so you basically busted the clutch and it may take a bit to repair but nice thing. You should try "what happens if you put your car in forward while going in reverse when moving" Nice video

[@shaneshonda]

Do you always pretend to know what you're talking about?

[@TwentyTwoThirtyThree]

"The clutch connection blowup" yes that's exactly what happened, very technical.

[@MT_SA-Pty-Ltd]

Yeah I broke down lol. You killed it, purposely “broke down”. Love it.

[@michaelmunoz2154]

It's the Danger Ranger, wow that thing still runs? Been fallowing you since the first AMG was hydrolocked.

[@miller7759]

😂 Great stuff. Hello from The North Butler County here. I recognized the area lol....

[@HelloKittyFanMan.]

Haha, I'm glad you said "Don't try this nonsense _on your own"_ instead of "at home," because had you said "at home," I would've been like, "What: you thought I would've been able to do it in my driveway or my back yard?"

[@alphagaming7267]

Sometimes with the old trucks u have to go in the opposite direction to put 4wd in gear

[@kirikiti5425]

4:39 when I'm hiking in a forest and I hear a dinosaur.

[@adamweb]

8:00 Spent a lot of time in clapped out Jeeps in college... we once lost brakes on a gravel road and threw the AT into Park in attempt to avoid hitting a barn. The transmission made that exact ticking sound... it didn't slow us down at all but thankfully we scrubbed off enough speed in a ditch to hit the barn slow enough where the lumber stopped us without breaking through!

[@philgts_merc.7602]

😂 great video man! Maybe you could’ve put in 2nd gear or 3rd with the car off and turn the key to get it started and I think eventually ranger danger would start going and go with a bit of acceleration and she would drive again. Just hope you don’t catch stop signs or lights! 😂 😆 but if you did just do it again!!! 😝

[@blakliffy]

Those transmission gears have to be bald as you by now, lol

[@emilemcgee6031]

Love your videos

[@williamherd7251]

My first car was a 1993 Acura integra and that trans was bulletproof.. full speed in reverse, rev limiter in neutral, throw in drive. Like 100 times.. driving 100 mph+ every day

[@HelloKittyFanMan.]

Oh CRAP! How did that screw the clutch?!

[@BobTheHatKing]

Can you make a playlist with all of your “what happens if…” videos together?

[@joeysaad69]

love this content!

[@qntmxiii]

I wonder if you were to unlock the hubs now that she's parked? Would it continue to work in 2wd after all that?

[@kevinhawthorne5257]

Great Video!

[@infinity3jif]

you can see the pain and stress on his face when he puts it in reverse 'lol'

[@strikemaster200]

The front wheels wouldn’t really spin just the back wheels because all the weight is in the front.

[@MICHGO1]

FUNNY, HE DOESN'T LOOK LIKE A TEEN-AGED BOY.

[@paolo.aguila]

Impressive, but can you change gears without stepping on the clutch?

[@RysterARCEE]

No longer the Danger Ranger...now simply the Park Ranger.

[@doc4165]

I shouldn't laugh but 8:07 reaction has me howling

[@bgesjackson2011]

😂😂😂😂 this guy is insane!! 😂👌🏼 he does what all of us wanna do or have thought about doing or at least wonder what would happen “what would happen if” but we don’t have the guts to do it! 😂😂😂😂 great videos…

[@michaelpayne5545]

If that lasts until Sydney learns to drive I’ll be really impressed! She’s probably going to hate you for teaching her how to drive a stick shift in that, if it lasts that long, lol!

[@dandaley7455]

"That's a weird ticking sound" 😂

[@alexlorenz4103]

I like your Uber driver at the end "HI, did you break down?" "Ohhh no" must be a mother 🤣😁

[@John_spartan]

Transmission gone .. I remember when I had my hj61 land cruiser, you had stand still to put it in 4WD .. but I don’t know if it’s the same with ranger ?

[@blackenedmagic888]

I'm not sure about Rangers with a manually-activated transfer case, but the ones with electronically-activated transfer cases can be shifted into 4WD High while you are driving. However, to shift into 4WD Low, you have to be stopped and be in neutral for it to engage. All three of the Rangers I've owned (1994, 2003, and my current 2009) were like this. As far as the damage caused, I believe the only thing that happened was he fried the clutch.

[@cuddlez.]

You should really try this in your F150.

[@jeromerusselldemusicologist]

I bet nothing will happen... There would be a lot of fail safes to prevent such a thing from happening in modern trucks

[@dozerfarms]

"Transmission is angry" I WONDER WHY

[@sminem6572]

7:40 Honda Civics in the suburbs at 3am Making all that noise up shifting and all and still going 45 😂

[@DR-UTAH]

Here we go with the good old classic videos. 🤣

[@claylong7074]

That shisat rocked!

[@virtualspokespeople4066]

Could you have rolled down a hill with the clutch down and already in 4 wdh and reverse. then let the clutch up.?

[@ufarkingicehole]

Ive seen a 90 toyota tacoma and nissan truck from the early 90s both survive this. Try this in a full size truck

[@edwardsr70]

Maybe look under the truck for fluid leaking. Clutch definitely broke maybe also possibly both differentials and/or driveshaft. Transmission is pretty much bulletproof on the older rangers.

[@adarshsunil7711]

3:55 He drinks some water before his mission 😂

[@Sally-nd5pc]

Hi, how can i contact you about the product sponsorship?

[@demisama3038]

Love the vids but bro idk about those roads u be testing it on be safe

[@meep2059]

Note** although 4wd light was on and the hubs were locked, it's still not gonna be in 4wd until you come to a stop because you engaged 4wd while cruising. You have to come to a stop or start from a stop, and then it will actually be in 4wd.

[@jasonhubbard1038]

Hey did you know they're putting the 5.2 V8 in the raptor is supposed to create some hell of a horsepower for a 2023 or something like that

[@willroeder6462]

I bet it broke the input shaft on the trans.

[@stevemartin4684]

Exactly!

[@keigezellig]

Ahw, that's massive transmission/clutch torture..

[@HelloKittyFanMan.]

Oh come on, why did you end it so abruptly on getting into the ride share?

[@HighPriority]

That clutch, well and trans must hate you 😆

[@chk1tout]

Was it the throwout bearing or its fork?

[@coastalcleaningandmaintena2884]

Exactly u gotta hold both

[@FoxyThePirate]

Albeit he’s had work done to it that just goes to show you how tough fords can be if you go back and look at all the videos he used the ranger in

[@gregferris9378]

I think I could guarantee that my 2021 Ford Ranger is not that tough.

[@brentvance3958]

Technology wouldn’t allow you to do that.

[@Cali-Railway]

Next video of the Danger Ranger should be: What happens if you drive without Brake Fluid!!

[@Mickocarbomb]

should call Neutral Drop up ask em a thing or two about no mercy reversies

[@Rocinante_1980]

I feel that I have to correct you on something you said. Your words were I broke down. I’m sorry to say you didn’t break down. You broke IT down 😂
