Love when you say this is gonna be a short one and it goes 40+ minutes! So nice to see a Copart walk around again. I think the F-150 and the Duramax are good risks. Especially for the money. Happy New Year to you and Jessica! Glad to see you back!
That diesel might be a diamond in the rough . I'd say for the right price that dirtymax is worth a chance . I bet it would make a good Content vehicle . Diesel's are always popular on TH-cam
Randy-I have a Saab 97x which is the exact same thing as a trailblazer. I have the same rust, “chunky stuff” on my trans dipstick. Thing shifts like a champ, I’d take a gamble depending on what it goes for.
On the trailblazer when the truck starts to idle rough when you turn the AC on the throttle body needs to be cleaned and it fixes the issue. I have a TB I bought a year ago with 231kmiles I bought from copart with the same amount of miles has 254k miles now. The transmission maybe bad. Mine went out at 240k you can't tell if they transmission is bad unless you try to drive over 45mph to get to higher gears
Whoo glad to have these back! Looking for vans you can't go wrong with a grand caravan. I just picked one up from a church with 141k miles a rebuilt trans. Mountains of records. All for 1650. Only thing wrong is a dent in the tailgate.
Randy, the wire you found on the trailblazer by the fuse block is extra, every one I've seen has one. I believe it has to do with adding something on the trailer hookup. Mine has never been connected. The trans dipstick is made of something that corrodes like mad with the trans fluid. My 04 has 299000 miles on it and I have to emery cloth it every year or so to knock the rust off it.
The hissing on the Mariner is the brake booster. It is common on those, tributes and escapes of that era. They used cheap plastic seals that wore out quickly. You have to replace them or the whole booster. The part is cheap and the remains have rubber seals and last longer.
Randy @ 15:30 the 3.0 Vulcan engine was always durable and trouble-free. The 3.8 was the one that ate head gaskets like Skittles. The Vulcan is an iron block and heads pushrod motor that's archaic and simple, albeit underpowered. However it was sufficient to pull the Taurus and Sable around. Also, the Tempo, Probe, Ranger...... A miss here is probably a spark plug or fuel injector. I have 153K on my '06 Taurus and that's been the only mechanical issue.
That 05 is fine if it's a 4.6 engine. I have an 05 with 215k and it runs perfect. 5.4 is ok if it's been very well maintained. That gas door is a simple fix just the little metal spring in there
The Ford F150 the 05 one would be a good truck for you to have a trailer hooked on the tow hitch mount and tow cars around from copart to your house especially if the cars aren’t able to run and go as far to your house from the copart lot.. Amazing video as always Happy New Year Randy The Durmax would be a good project fix it up clean it up on the inside and sell it or keep it as a work truck for yourself
Jessica has the patience of a saint, Randy! She's a keeper. I don't believe how much time you spent on those trucks in comparison to the beautiful Mercedes at the start of the video.
The fuel door on the F150 is a common problem on those trucks. Two people I work with have had that body style and have had that problem. One of the guys I work with went to TH-cam and found out how to fix it. I wouldn't touch that Trailblazer. They are very notorious for engines and transmissions.
The Chevy truck with the Allison would be an interesting buy. I think you can get that running no problem, but if not, the sale of the trans, and motor would be interesting to see. Fixed, that truck is 10 grand all day long.
On the Duramax the emblems say it is an LT model. I thought all LT trucks had leather seats. I have a 2003 like that one, and the leather was standard. It looks like a good deal.
Good to see you back in good health and optimistic spirits Randy! A good choice of potential purchases this week, with most of them capable of providing great content. Sonata and Mariner are good choices. The F150 would also be a practical choice for your new dealership, you're definitely gonna need something to tow and shop with. Happy New Year to you and Jessica!
The Sable probably has bad exhaust valve seats, I'm willing to bet at least one or more cylinders has low compression. You notice it the most at idle but driving down the road it should drive fine, those Vulcans of that year range had that issue, I think there was even a TSB for them. My 03 Ranger has that motor and had that same problem when I first got it, ended up replacing both the heads with remans, has run great since.
The sabal has a hard line on the intake that tend to leak probably why you smell coolant and my guess is it got on to a coil pack and gave a miss fire. The grand marquis I would bet the ignition switch broke to the start position so someone hardwired to the starter solenoid
The 3.0l v6 in the Mercury sable has coolant pipes in the intake manifold and when the gasket fails it leaks coolant when it's hot. Kinda PIA job to do but parts are cheap. Head gaskets seldom go on those cars
The red flood truck would be a good risk, since you can find somebody else to take it on if it's too much for you to deal with. Pretty cool content will flow as well, so win/win. Happy NY man!
So many nice cars... but i do like the red f150...👍 also like the new auto auction rebuild video as you open the post.. very nice.. have a happy new year for 2020
Had an 04 TB myself with high mileage - always reliable, only had problems in two areas: fan clutch would only last about 75K, it was totally different from any other GM fan clutch, and the blend door actuator would go from time to time, but that was a cheap and easy part.
Chevy Beretta my mom had a red one as i was kid stepdad ended up buying it tinted the windows n put a mean system with some chrome Wal-Mart spinners lol good ol early 2000s
Duramax may be worth the risk. No signs of water in the intake air filter, I'd take a swing. Happy new year; hi, Jessica. Glad to see you're more comfortable on camera. be yourself, do what you're comfortable with.
the mariner has the 3.0 those engines are bulletproof. 183k isnt bad i have a 07 awd 3.0 with 171k and it runs like a top. easy to work on too.. i have seen them with 300k with very few issues.
That mariner had a vacuum leak at the power brake booster. My Saab does the same thing but it’s more of a whistle. Easy fix. It’s funny you say the sables sell near you, those and the Taurus are made of “unsellamezium” around these parts. Had a Taurus with 17k original and not a nibble till i lowered the price to around $2000.
The F150 looks nice there a Channel which a Guy all he does is work on Ford Trucks Seen how to fix the Gas Cap and something about those cam fazer for that Engine Repair too . Great source of information . You need to due more Videos With Monkey Wrench Mike and Weird Beard . With everyone Knowledge rebuild some great Vehicles and dependable once too.
The 04 trailblazer dipstick is normal we use to replace them under a recall and the battery is bad that's why the gauges are wanky like that . It clean for it's age so I'd get it without a question .
The Grqnd Marquis needs an ignition switch. That could be why the odometer doesn't work. I have an 08 that gets 27 mpg on the road. It is a very dependable car. If you get it cheap enough it probably wouldn't cost a lot to change the ignition switch and odometer and dash will work again. You probably could sell it $1000.
I would get the Grand Maquis I had a 1988 LS model brought for 350.00 in 2007 and drove it for 9 years sold it for 700.00. I also had a 1987 2 Door LS model paid 50.00 for it drove it 3 years as well. These are simple cars and parts are cheap for the Panther platform. 1996-2011 parts are interchangeable. 1979-1991 panthers are the same way.
One thing you have to watch out for at Copart is there are folks that harvest modules when they are supposed to be just checking out the vehicles like you. They run and drive when they come in, no so good when leaving.
Starter Button. A number of years ago, there was a bunch of scammers who rigged cars up to sell a "Clean Spark" device that was suppose to improve gas mileage. They would demonstrate the device at swap meets and such. The hidden starter button was the key to show the device worked. Eventually the gang was caught and sent to prison. It was mostly in California. I'm surprised it made it to Oklahoma.
The Vulcan V6's in those Mercury Sable's and Ford Taurus' did NOT have head gasket issues. They were slow as shit but they never had any major defects. Even the optional Duratec V6's in these aren't known for head gaskets. Only the 3.8's in the old 80's and early 90's versions had head gasket issues. That Sable 99% just needs a coil.
Yay walkarounds are back and Randy sounds healthy. Btw hi Jessica Car selection is not as good this time but a few gems Dirtymax--could be a winner especially for a work truck Grand Marquis--always thumbs up for a Panther. I bet a few fuses and a good wire trace plus ignition switch and instant profit F150- no please no. That engine is garbage you dont want this for a work truck VW CC- neutral on this one but may need more work than normal Mariner--this one is a simple fix. Booster hose is leaking hence the suck sound while engine running. Miles are high but still could flip for good money. And its AWD so could land a snow belt buyer and get even more. Besides WB had a good experience and his was the same color. Coincidence?? Sonata SE--had one of these turds and I would suggest you run the vin on it to see if it's part of the engine recall. If so, I'd get it, swap the oil pan, and bring it to a Hyundai dealer soon. The low oil is the first sign of engine failure these have manufacturing defects with the crankshaft and basically starve themselves of oil until failure. Sounded like it's starting to knock and low oil is because they have terrible consumption. Personally I'd avoid bc they sell so cheap anyway but you could make a few bucks if you could land a new motor on the manufacturer's dime
Those 2009 Mariners are good cars... Have a electronic power steering issue which was a PITA to deal with, and a throttle body recall ford will fix for FREE, after those two things are fixed they're awesome cars. I loved driving it on long trips, it was a perfect car for me and i'm sure for most people. Unfortunately my sister managed to roll it but amazingly she walked away unscathed. We owe that car everything for keeping her safe in a really rough accident. Oh and watch out for the passenger side rear wheelwell they tend to rust there.
*Sable needs a coil pack and maybe a new set of plugs & wires. i had the exact same set up in my 2000 taurus with the 3800 V6 even if it needed head gaskets, it's an afternoon of work. i don't think that's the issue with this one though unless someone replaced the head gaskets and didn't put new head bolts in it when they put it back together. those are torque to yield bolts ( aka one time use ) THESE CARS WERE BAD ABOUT PUSHING THE FREEZE PLUGS OUT in the transmission bell housing and good luck finding the right size replacements. That may also be why you smell coolant. By the way if you get it i still have a coil pack here from my 2000 Taurus that i never got to put on it i can hook you up with. i like the VW too the Grand Marquis is a Niche market that's what makes them hard to sell. don't just walk away from that one, RUN! if they've been into the wiring that's a total nightmare.Yeah, don't see the Beretta's much any more. I had an 88 GT with the 2.8L v 6 when i was with my first wife and yeah that thing screamed. but ended up trading it off for an S-10 Blazer when my daughter arrived. just needed something with more room in it. never had an issue with the car.LMAO, "i can't read your writing" I hear that all the time! that's why i got into computers lol That Hyundai is the move you should make out of all of them you looked at. can't believe a dented oil pan is all that totaled that one out and there's literally not another thing wrong with that one. looked for the duramax and didn't find it. if you didn't grab it i was going to. with no water n the engine that would be a running driving truck guaranteed! i'd have flown to roy rogers and ubered to copart then called AAA for a jump and drove that thing home to Tennessee*
happy newyear there umm i know i know i mentioned it before butt be nice to see you buy back older stuff alot more 20-25-30 years ago even try it for a month ,,not really into flippin unless someone ask,s me to find something im in northern italy alot and i at times have a fresh market to hunt cause believe me there all here lots of old american stuff lots of bases and airfields with our boys all around last 60 years ,,so get any strange questions or client who want euro stuff lemme know,,,,, as i have hundreds of questions for you also i missed alot i just tend to stay old ,,one or two owner stuff i learn from you everytime so thank,s
All the best to you and yours Randy, for a very healthy and happy 2020, from the UK. :) That's extended to all, on the comments too. :) Ps. I want a 'supernatural' rev counter from the Trailblazer for truck! Hahahahaha!
I worked on a 06 5.4 F150 and I found the Timing chain nylon guides had broken off and clogged the oil pump screen and that engine was destroyed because of it.
i dont know if youll respond but i noticed on the duramax it was clearly a 4wd i could see the stickers and the cv axles but i didnt see the 4wd panel where you switch it i was wondering about that
Randy how come Jessica doesn't like to be in the videos you may have brought this up in the past but I probably forgot anyways great video brother and a Happy New Year to you and the family
Hey Randy u want that duramax. I believe that's the LBZ people love that engine and was only made for like 2 years then came the def system. People pay alot of money for those engines.
Love when you say this is gonna be a short one and it goes 40+ minutes! So nice to see a Copart walk around again. I think the F-150 and the Duramax are good risks. Especially for the money. Happy New Year to you and Jessica! Glad to see you back!
It’s a Chevy of course it’s worth it
That diesel might be a diamond in the rough . I'd say for the right price that dirtymax is worth a chance . I bet it would make a good Content vehicle . Diesel's are always popular on TH-cam
Randy-I have a Saab 97x which is the exact same thing as a trailblazer. I have the same rust, “chunky stuff” on my trans dipstick. Thing shifts like a champ, I’d take a gamble depending on what it goes for.
04 blue trailblazer is twin to mine. Mine gets a lot of crap on the transmission dipstick it made me think the transmission was bad but it wasn't
Glad to see you’re doing well. Got to love the e class
On the trailblazer when the truck starts to idle rough when you turn the AC on the throttle body needs to be cleaned and it fixes the issue. I have a TB I bought a year ago with 231kmiles I bought from copart with the same amount of miles has 254k miles now. The transmission maybe bad.

Feels so good to see you back Randy. Loved the new intro
That duramax is the best buy on that lot! It's also a lbz duramax.. please buy it. You wont be disappointed. Trust me.
Whoo glad to have these back! Looking for vans you can't go wrong with a grand caravan. I just picked one up from a church with 141k miles a rebuilt trans. Mountains of records. All for 1650. Only thing wrong is a dent in the tailgate.
Jessica dident hide very well .but glad to see her on your channel bud
Buy that Duramax! Worth more than 1600 in parts
Great to see you here again Randy! Blessings

i love it when you use technical terms! lol

That sable ..the ford v6 in it I believe is the same one in the mini vans I've seen a lot with head gaskets and cracked heads.
Mini vans had the 3.8 and 4.2 Sable is 3.0 best V6 ford made
The 3.8 was notorious for Head gasket issues, however the 3.0 Vulcan V6 was very reliable. These were iron block + iron head pushrod engines after all
That 05 is fine if it's a 4.6 engine. I have an 05 with 215k and it runs perfect. 5.4 is ok if it's been very well maintained. That gas door is a simple fix just the little metal spring in there
This truck has the 5.4 3V engine though. My uncle has that engine in his 06 Supercrew. It's been fine at 165K. He purchased it brand new
I’d do the phaser delete and drive the hell out of it
Sherburne Lee yeah I had a 05 ford that the hole body was beat to hell with 244k miles it would still start up smooth and still had ac it was a 4.6
@@waterzonegt9179 mine like I said has 215k and don't use or leak any oil at all. No rust either n I'm in PA in the rust belt.
@@engineer_alv must be well maintained for the 5.4 to last.
I believe that extra wire under the hood of the trailblazer has something to do with electric trailer brakes on the plug in the back.
Joseph Murphy you are correct.
Get the dirtymax/6.6 .... even if the truck didint start you can still make your money back .
All over that truck. Worth the risk
@@Cheeselandnews They want $6K
All depends on the miles on the motor and the how the injectors are. If the injectors are bad that 3500 to 4000 repair.
Saw more..those Sonatas had MANY recalls and electrical issues. The one in the fam was a turbo - now an 4dr F150 4X4 long bed 😀
Some great one's this time. Definitely the 05 f150, the Grand marquis and the Chevrolet desiel.
Thanks Jess for helping Randy this week
Hope you and the family have a better New year than the last. Glad you're healthy again. New Orleans recharged you.y you need to get the duramax
The Ford F150 the 05 one would be a good truck for you to have a trailer hooked on the tow hitch mount and tow cars around from copart to your house especially if the cars aren’t able to run and go as far to your house from the copart lot.. Amazing video as always Happy New Year Randy
The Durmax would be a good project fix it up clean it up on the inside and sell it or keep it as a work truck for yourself
You should buy several of these, best quality walk around to date!
Some nice cars to choose from in this episode, and finally saw your wife first time lol had to hold the hood couldnt go anywhere😄
Glad to see your getting better this look is much nicer than the old tired look you had before. Glad your back bud
Jessica has the patience of a saint, Randy! She's a keeper. I don't believe how much time you spent on those trucks in comparison to the beautiful Mercedes at the start of the video.
Perhaps you can get the Mercury cheap since no one knows how to start it?
Randy those A pillars on the CC are replaceable. They're actually kind of like thin metal trim pieces.
The fuel door on the F150 is a common problem on those trucks. Two people I work with have had that body style and have had that problem. One of the guys I work with went to TH-cam and found out how to fix it. I wouldn't touch that Trailblazer. They are very notorious for engines and transmissions.
The Chevy truck with the Allison would be an interesting buy. I think you can get that running no problem, but if not, the sale of the trans, and motor would be interesting to see. Fixed, that truck is 10 grand all day long.
On the Duramax the emblems say it is an LT model. I thought all LT trucks had leather seats. I have a 2003 like that one, and the leather was standard. It looks like a good deal.
I'd definitely take the chance on the chevy diesel. Happy New Year Randy
Good to see Jessica helping you out
The hiss is a brake booster leak so it seems, the little rubber bushing is probably bad, dried out, ripped etc.
Old outro is the new intro? Noted... lol
welcome back and ready to rock and roll in the new year. I hope 2020 is a good one for you.
Hey Randy. That red 05 F-150 looks like a decent bet. The red duramax would be a good gamble if it goes cheap enough.
Good to see you back in good health and optimistic spirits Randy! A good choice of potential purchases this week, with most of them capable of providing great content. Sonata and Mariner are good choices. The F150 would also be a practical choice for your new dealership, you're definitely gonna need something to tow and shop with. Happy New Year to you and Jessica!

I instantly thought of Mr. Regular because he recently put out a video on the Mariner. It was older but had the same color.
So many nice cars... but i do like the red f150...👍 also like the new auto auction rebuild video as you open the post.. very nice.. have a happy new year for 2020
Had an 04 TB myself with high mileage - always reliable, only had problems in two areas: fan clutch would only last about 75K, it was totally different from any other GM fan clutch, and the blend door actuator would go from time to time, but that was a cheap and easy part.
That Grand Marquee might be a keeper. Get rid of that hidden start button. Could be a good one.
Chevy Beretta my mom had a red one as i was kid stepdad ended up buying it tinted the windows n put a mean system with some chrome Wal-Mart spinners lol good ol early 2000s
Duramax may be worth the risk. No signs of water in the intake air filter, I'd take a swing. Happy new year; hi, Jessica. Glad to see you're more comfortable on camera. be yourself, do what you're comfortable with.
Great to see you back making this videos and happy new year to you

People still remember the transmission nightmares of the previous generations.
That 3.0 Vulcan in the Sable wasn't known for head gasket trouble. That was the 3.8. These Vulcans are pretty tough little motors.
Randy I do not want to ask for much but I really want to see some nissans on the channel pls
I chucked to myself when you called the 05 F-150 an oldie, I daily drive a 1991 f150!
The F150 looks nice there a Channel which a Guy all he does is work on Ford Trucks Seen how to fix the Gas Cap and something about those cam fazer for that Engine Repair too . Great source of information . You need to due more Videos With Monkey Wrench Mike and Weird Beard . With everyone Knowledge rebuild some great Vehicles and dependable once too.
Happy new year Randy! Please do a video on your house and shop, we need an update
Love the new intro! Quick and to the point
That lbz running and driving is a 15k-20k truck depending on miles
The 04 trailblazer dipstick is normal we use to replace them under a recall and the battery is bad that's why the gauges are wanky like that . It clean for it's age so I'd get it without a question .
Nice to see you Randy. its been a while and happy you are sound in Health... Cheers!
The Grqnd Marquis needs an ignition switch. That could be why the odometer doesn't work. I have an 08 that gets 27 mpg on the road. It is a very dependable car. If you get it cheap enough it probably wouldn't cost a lot to change the ignition switch and odometer and dash will work again. You probably could sell it $1000.
That F150 4x4 for
Agreed. It only needs a door and a tire. The rear bumper can be fixed and if Randy decides to flip it he could easily get 3500 for it
I would get the Grand Maquis I had a 1988 LS model brought for 350.00 in 2007 and drove it for 9 years sold it for 700.00. I also had a 1987 2 Door LS model paid 50.00 for it drove it 3 years as well. These are simple cars and parts are cheap for the Panther platform. 1996-2011 parts are interchangeable. 1979-1991 panthers are the same way.
Happy New Year Randy to you and your family! May all your wishes comes true!
Had a 2007 Ford Explorer that did that. Brakes felt fine noise went away after awhile
One thing you have to watch out for at Copart is there are folks that harvest modules when they are supposed to be just checking out the vehicles like you. They run and drive when they come in, no so good when leaving.
Walk Arounds are back! Yaay!
Starter Button.
A number of years ago, there was a bunch of scammers who rigged cars up to sell a "Clean Spark" device that was suppose to improve gas mileage.
They would demonstrate the device at swap meets and such.
The hidden starter button was the key to show the device worked.
Eventually the gang was caught and sent to prison.
It was mostly in California. I'm surprised it made it to Oklahoma.
I love those old Grand Marquis it's it probably got air intake manifold problem they crack and they leak antifreeze that's a easy fix
Mercury sable ?
The Vulcan V6's in those Mercury Sable's and Ford Taurus' did NOT have head gasket issues. They were slow as shit but they never had any major defects. Even the optional Duratec V6's in these aren't known for head gaskets. Only the 3.8's in the old 80's and early 90's versions had head gasket issues. That Sable 99% just needs a coil.
Yay walkarounds are back and Randy sounds healthy. Btw hi Jessica
Car selection is not as good this time but a few gems
Dirtymax--could be a winner especially for a work truck
Grand Marquis--always thumbs up for a Panther. I bet a few fuses and a good wire trace plus ignition switch and instant profit
F150- no please no. That engine is garbage you dont want this for a work truck
VW CC- neutral on this one but may need more work than normal
Mariner--this one is a simple fix. Booster hose is leaking hence the suck sound while engine running. Miles are high but still could flip for good money. And its AWD so could land a snow belt buyer and get even more. Besides WB had a good experience and his was the same color. Coincidence??

Gotta go for that Duramax @ $1600 !
Those 2009 Mariners are good cars... Have a electronic power steering issue which was a PITA to deal with, and a throttle body recall ford will fix for FREE, after those two things are fixed they're awesome cars.

We owe that car everything for keeping her safe in a really rough accident. Oh and watch out for the passenger side rear wheelwell they tend to rust there.
Buy that Grand Marquis. Great car!!!! Bet it's gonna be cheap as hell if your the only one that caught that starter button
See y’all in 2020!
These Ford Taurus and Sables had heater core issues with rust in the coolant systems.
*Sable needs a coil pack and maybe a new set of plugs & wires. i had the exact same set up in my 2000 taurus with the 3800 V6 even if it needed head gaskets, it's an afternoon of work. i don't think that's the issue with this one though unless someone replaced the head gaskets and didn't put new head bolts in it when they put it back together. those are torque to yield bolts ( aka one time use ) THESE CARS WERE BAD ABOUT PUSHING THE FREEZE PLUGS OUT in the transmission bell housing and good luck finding the right size replacements. That may also be why you smell coolant. By the way if you get it i still have a coil pack here from my 2000 Taurus that i never got to put on it i can hook you up with. i like the VW too the Grand Marquis is a Niche market that's what makes them hard to sell. don't just walk away from that one, RUN! if they've been into the wiring that's a total nightmare.Yeah, don't see the Beretta's much any more. I had an 88 GT with the 2.8L v 6 when i was with my first wife and yeah that thing screamed. but ended up trading it off for an S-10 Blazer when my daughter arrived. just needed something with more room in it. never had an issue with the car.LMAO, "i can't read your writing" I hear that all the time! that's why i got into computers lol That Hyundai is the move you should make out of all of them you looked at. can't believe a dented oil pan is all that totaled that one out and there's literally not another thing wrong with that one. looked for the duramax and didn't find it. if you didn't grab it i was going to. with no water n the engine that would be a running driving truck guaranteed! i'd have flown to roy rogers and ubered to copart then called AAA for a jump and drove that thing home to Tennessee*
I’m glad you’re back and feeling better Randy.

All the best to you and yours Randy, for a very healthy and happy 2020, from the UK. :) That's extended to all, on the comments too. :) Ps. I want a 'supernatural' rev counter from the Trailblazer for truck! Hahahahaha!
I worked on a 06 5.4 F150 and I found the Timing chain nylon guides had broken off and clogged the oil pump screen and that engine was destroyed because of it.
That’s great looking Duramax. Hopefully you was able to get someone to jump start it at Copart.
Be nice to see you buy something and get it running and sold
Hey Randy to you and your family have a happy New Year. Can't wait to see what you do this next year !
Get the dirtymax, it’s only $1600 and it’ll probably run just fine, it’s nice and you should really buy it
Buy the F150; pull the driver's door and hammer the tear flat, maybe bondo it. Mercury has a leak in the brake booster.
Awesome cool video thanks for sharing. Happy New Year. I truly wish you a Blessed Safe Year.
Glad to see you are feeling better another great vid keep up the great work.
i dont know if youll respond but i noticed on the duramax it was clearly a 4wd i could see the stickers and the cv axles but i didnt see the 4wd panel where you switch it i was wondering about that
I bought a 2005 Ford f150 lariat For 6k Thing runs like a dream Doing maintenance helps Keep Them running
Randy how come Jessica doesn't like to be in the videos you may have brought this up in the past but I probably forgot anyways great video brother and a Happy New Year to you and the family
Hey Randy u want that duramax. I believe that's the LBZ people love that engine and was only made for like 2 years then came the def system. People pay alot of money for those engines.
What happen to the RV lot and travel trailer and Motorcycle views .
Happy New Year! Wishing you well this coming year!
