Getting Rolled Over Salvage Chrysler Aspen 5.7 Hemi To Run, WITHOUT A Key!

- Some of you wanted to see some other sides of the salvage industry, so here it is! I'm trying some new type of content! As my returning viewers know, I own and run a full service auto salvage business called @importapart located in the Saint Louis area.
We buy wrecked, totaled, and salvage vehicles and sell the parts from them, recycling the rest.
Often times, these cars come in without keys, missing parts or parts damaged that make it a challenge to start and run the engine, or drive the car. The parts we sell we like to test as fully as possible, so we will go through some length to get engines running to prove or disprove their condition. This is one of the things I spend a few hours a week doing. Whether its programming new keys, swapping parts, repairing harnesses, that's part of the job.
I recently bought some property that had this 2007 Chrysler Aspen beached in a car port next to the house. The previous owner bought it at the auction several years ago, cut the cats off, scrapped those and the wheels, battery and left it on some bricks in this carport. I dragged this thing back to the shop. This isn't a vehicle I would normally bid on at the auction but I want to make the most of it and I would hate to throw away a good 5.7 Hemi.
This video shows our normal process for cars that come in needing some work before they'll start.
If you'd like to see our inventory you can go to www.Importapartsales.com or email us at Importapartsales@gmail.com.
I really hope you enjoyed this video, as always, I love all of the comments, feedback and even the criticism. Catch you all on the next one.

Junkyard revivals, full engine teardowns, fixing unique cars, I watch all of it. I feel like you are one step away from just wearing a bodycam and hosting live everyday, then still edit the content for regular videos. This gives us insight into your day to day, and that is always great. Keep up the content, good bad gritty and ugly it all has a home with papa Eric, and your videos are great too!
Brother if you have a 1978 2.0 Mazda motor hit me back it goes on a 1978 Ford courier pick up thank you
Or know where I can get one I need a spare motor please
I'd enjoy watching a body cam Live Feed as well daily. Sorta like an audio/ visual Podcast.
Everyone likes a junkyard revival, add these to the record list where/when you can!
Happy you found a job for BLUE in this video. Would not want to leave him out of the fun.
LOL - I missed that until I saw your comment!
I just recognized “blue” at the end and then saw this post!
@@conrasm Go Blue!
My jeep engine just blew up so I bought a 2008 Aspen Hemi, it's a rocket for a big heavy car. I love it. Everything works and it has everything. They stopped making it because they closed the plant where it was made, not because it was a bad model. It goes to 4 cylinders on the hiway to save gas. It's great wand will be my last car.
It would've been funnier if you'd used the last roll-over vehicle to pull the recent one out.
Roly poly
That would've been funny as hell to see. No cap.
It's funny watching this with closed captions on!
When the engine is cranking, CC says "Laughter", and when the engine finally starts, CC says "Applause". 🤣
LOL
If it doesn't interfere with your regular engine teardown content, I definitely wouldn't mind seeing more content like this. 👏👏👏👏
I was expecting a "that's not good" when the Aspen started pulling the shed down.
Damn that shed put up a fight.
That's what he gets for inflating the tires *before* removal, lol...
@@Backroad_Junkie Or take a chance on having one or more tires comes off.
@@MasterMalrubius If you listen at 0:15 he states the previous owner took the wheels and battery out, so it sounds like the vehicle didn't have wheels/tires in the first place.
Which may have been how the truck was able to get into the shed in the first place....
Thanks for taking "Old Blue" out for a road trip as your hood prop!
I'm all for seeing more of these "revival" videos
As much as it sounded like it had a miss when idling... It sounded like a happy hemi otherwise and appeared to idle smooth. I bet it's just an exhaust leak causing the noise.
If it had ethanol gas in it that would be the problem. Sh!t goes bad in 3 months.
My thought was that exhaust was leaking were the catalytic converter used to be.
Looks like Mr. Roger's lives next door. Beautiful looking neighborhood. I hope you bought the crack house across the street too. Your new tenants are going to need a lookout.
I see "Blue" is also useful as a bonnet ( hood ) prop :)
interesting insight of how you overcome issues to get an engine running
Blue has a supporting role - union rules.
I'm an IT guy... and with that ECM hack, now we know you are too. Impressive.
I had never thought of manually actuating the starter relay. I learn something fun every time I watch one of your videos. Thanks for the great content!
I learned something as well. Now what I want to know is, what is he actually doing? After taking the cap off, is he physically pushing a plunger down or something to close the switch inside?
@@sdannenberg3 It looked like he had something shoved under the relay, probably to bridge the two pins on the control side to energize the relay and close the contacts on the load side. Maybe a piece of flattened tin can cut a certain way.
@@castinn But then why does he need to take the plastic cap off the relay?? I just went and took a spare one apart and I still am confused lol.
@@sdannenberg3 You are right, he removed the outer shell of the relay. This would allow him to push on the part that closes the contacts on the load side. Never thought of that. On this relay, the wide lugs are the load side - where the heavier current flows. The smaller lugs are the control side (the solenoid) that has a small current flow. @6:27, it looks like he is pressing on the end of the solenoid that bridges the contacts so current flows between the larger, heavier lugs or spade terminals. Some relays have 4 terminals that allow the relay to be plugged in two different positions. These relays, however, have 5 terminals arranged to only allow one orientation. Tyco 4671168E 72472V
@@castinn Yep, I agree. This is just a small magnetic solenoid. Power from the ignition energizes the coil pulling the plunger to make contact with the starter leads. Been working on cars all my life and never thought about doing this. I have always just used a flathead to arc the starter relay usually on the starter motor. This is much easier.
That starter relay was a neat trick, would not have thought of that. Best part though was hearing one of these newer engines, without emission stuff and mufflers, sound like an older V-8, awesome!
I like this format of video and the way it mixes up your lineup. Inside vs. outside, some short videos in between your longer ones.
Just what I was looking for while eating lunch. Quick 12 min salvage video see what other mechanics up to👍
I had to double check to make sure I was on the right channel. What a running engine, no disconnecting rods, no inspection ports, no malice in the combustion chamber; where am I?
Hopefully you'll get those mechanical issues addressed on this wrecked Chrysler Aspen with Hemi powered
I really liked to see this format of your day to day. Pretty cool. My ear tells me that there is a miss in the engine. Especially the lumpy first turns before it fire up. Might be sticky valves since it's been sitting for a couple of years. Let's see some more of these clips.
The check engine light was flashing when it was first started and steady after a short while. Engine misfiring causes the check engine light to flash.
@@Zoomie61 Didn't notice the check engine light much but was going by what I was hearing.
I didn’t see your I Do Cars name until the very end, just as you were wrapping the video up. I watched the entire video, your voice sounds different than when you tear down engines in your shop. I enjoyed it.
Been watching your vids for a couple weeks now, tons of teardowns. Came here to say you rock dude, idk if you went to school or what but man. You are the engine guy. An intelligent mechanic could study a bunch of your vids for couple months, take notes, and be a reasonable engine mechanic. Literally. In a sense teaching guys alot on here,
These are my favorite videos you do - getting the junk to run. Love the engine tear downs, but these are so much more interesting.
We have an air freshener just like that one. You’re golden.
Loved it!!!! 😀 Needed something like this to break up the mid-week!
Great video Eric! The way you program vehicle computers to other vehicles is a cool way of doing it! Not too many people can program computers like you can! Congratulations on buying the property where you got the car from!
The fact that that thing made it 200,000 miles makes it a Stalantis unicorn.
Great stuff, I love seeing these forgotten things wake up. I like the way you work. You’ve got great content, keep it up, sir!
More revivals!!! These are so much fun to watch, Eric.
Cool Eric! Thanks for sharing this one.
Your access to correct ECU and program its anti theft overcome major obstacles most face trying similar revivals.
A great video. Thanks for sharing. Love those Hemis!!!
Thanks for the vid. Enjoying the other content along with the teardowns. Wishing you all the success!
I love the fact that you talk to whatever your working on. I've been doing that for years and my wife thinks I'm crazy for doing it.
I drive one of those. 265k and the only thing I have done to the engine is a valve job. I love it.
At 4:50, good job not tearing out the dipstick tube by force of habit. :)
Great Video Eric. Love all your content!
My name is Ashten I live in Aspen I drive a Chrysler Aspen and ride around with my daughter Ashlyn and our huskys crashlin and bashlin.
You are one smart diagnostic mechanic.
outstanding eric
This was pretty cool to see, thanks!
That was very good. Thanks.
Your videos of this genre, are so much better than the pathetic 'Will it start' offerings on other channels. I wonder if that vent air freshener is still good? Probably not...
Awesome video. In the hands of competent mechanics, this Aspen/Durango SUV will live again.
Hey Eric, that was great! Would love to see more of those. Cheers!
Thanks for the extra content. Enjoyed it!
Nice sound!!!
We want all the videos you can put out, and thanks for sharing with us!
Interesting video! Very enjoyable, keep them coming... 🙂
I love this type of content
Great video, I also like the teardowns too, but it's good to mix it up a little. Nice job!
Absolutely wonderful video! Thank you!
Happy Wednesday Video!! Love it!
Excellent video...Thanks!!
Tow strap breaks. Tie together with a square knot and try again, lol...
the engine sounds fire 😍😍😍😍
Looks like fun, Eric. It must me nice having the ability to program computers in house. Thanks for the videos.
HAH! It's been 84 years since I heard this name... I remember my mom needing to get rid of her convertible and test driving one of these, 4k miles, mint, and it died without warning coming up a hill. To note, this was the 2nd Chrysler to die on us while test driving in TWO WEEKS (RIP sage green 300C). If it wasn't for her badassery degree in driving, we would've fallen back into a crazy intersection.
Nice! When the strap broke, I was like, I'd tie in a knot and try again. And bam! You did it! :) Love the offbeat video, more please! :)
Nice find Eric
Much needed video. More please and thank you
Definitely like these type of videos
This was a great video, thanks!
You’ve totally saved my life by posting this video. This one especially has made me want keep living.
U good bro ?
@@EgCapalot I’m dead. You were too late and this video didn’t help me live like I thought it would.
Loved the "snicker" @ 45 seconds. Someone will use it for a farm truck or a rebuild project. Great job.
I always liked these.
Ill watch this kind of stuff! More please!!
Gee, I wish I knew half of the tricks you know of to start a car that has no key!
You're awesome!
grats on the new place
I like these kinds of videos. Thank you.
Good job!
Very cool video!!!
That’s a good runner!!
Nice hemi to sell.
I enjoy this type of video
Something different is always a pleasure especially when it works..great video Eric..I don't do cars Eric,I just dream about them like I use to do them..👍
Love it. This definitely had a Vice Grip Garage vibe going on with the lack of ignition key and the overall junkyard revival.
🤘🤘 keep on keepin on
Better: no goofy corn-pone commentary.
Now that was cool. I had no idea what all it took to make something start with a busted ignition switch. I just thought the fuel pump safety switch had the fuel pump turned off, but I assumed you checked that. I loke this type of video.
Sounds perfect.
More of these please
awesome video!!!!
Stroll on careful of the roof!! Fantastic content, I'm especially enjoying watching your working day through the prism of a man from a long way away...Actually the UK's not that far away but it's properly entertaining. Don't suppose you're in need of a British trained, highly skilled cabinet maker...?!
Love videos like this - please make more!
The Chrysler Apsen of the era shared basically the same gauge cluster and controls as a 3rd gen Dodge Dakota or 2nd gen Dodge Durango just a little more dressed up. Nothing like parts sharing.
NICE JOB!
I love the *reuse*, (recycle), everyone wins concept, and LOVE things beyond the tear downs (CVT was cool!)
Anyway, the “no key” issue “solution” was fun. Not sure if this would be your style, but I’d love to see more details about the electronics involved with car (door and starting) “security”.
I know “key” reprogramming is usually done with car and all “keys”
Keep them coming.
I liked this one. Would like to see more like it.
5.4L is a decent engine and I had one it's a blast in the 2V version.
Eric, More, More videos like this.
Yes more of these please 😁
I remember my dad's 1976 Dodge Aspen. Nothing similar, but I guess they liked the name.
My dad Linked me to you saying I look like you. Keep up the good work mate!
It's alive! Well sorta
To give us more of a picture of your staff, how about a group photo?
You could have various people hanging from the racks of engines or on car lifts but it would be fun to see the team you have working for you.
Ugh, Bio wreck. It was once a nice vehicle. Liking this content, Great job!
Love seeing stuff like this, this kind of truck would be fun to beat on down some dirt roads on private property.
I remember when the Aspen was a sedan . Used to own a 1980 dodge Aspen , had the 360 V8 ( 5.9 ) , best fuel mileage I got out of it was 10 mpg . Was a former Clark county sheriff's unit ( found the original paperwork in the trunk ) , dang thing was quick
why do I feel you need some Luminol spray for the interior?
Definitely keep it up! Maybe even a day in the life style video? Film parts of your average or not so average day, drive to work, shipping out orders, buying vehicles from insurance auctions and just random day to day stuff but from beginning of the day to the end! Or maybe a what the heck happened here type video, show some mangled cars or trucks and try to use clues to figure out what happened to the vehicle or don’t tell us and let the viewers speculate on the events that lead the vehicle to you! Maybe if you know the details then make it a contest to see who can reconstruct the events based on clues pointed out in the video. Whoever gets it right or closest to right wins! If more than one then do a bonus round tie breaker?
