RESCUING An ABANDONED Saturn ION REDLINE Project *Can We Start It?*
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 13 ก.ย. 2024
- A friend reached out to me after the fired video and said he took his 2005 Saturn Ion Redline apart years ago and needed it put back together. It had been apart for so long that he did remember where the connectors went and didn't really have the motivation to get outside and mess with it. Gabe and i headed over in the morning expecting the perfect day to work on a car outside, instead we ended up working in the rain all day.

You just differentiated yourself from the rest of the TH-cam pack. "Car Rescue" helping those unable to make car repairs. Moreover, unable to pay for car repairs necessary for getting back-and-forth to work. There are so many people unable to afford car repairs. Great job! Keep it up! God Bless! Your loss of employment may be a blessing!
Seriously. I just quit my job due to some personal bs. Aaaand car snaps a lower ball joint. Literally had to beg and borrow for a tow because if it got impounded i would have lost all my belongings. Still not fixed because Minnesota winters and i don't own a blue wrench
These types of things are appreciated beyond what most people will know.
Great idea!!!
Great idea. Check out Bill Pulte (@pulte) on Twitter. He is crowdsourcing people helping people. JR can be the guy doing the work for local families with transportation issues, such as a dead car or need a beater car to get back on their feet. Then he can reach out to his followers and others on social media to contribute via GoFundMe for the project expenses. JR grows the channel and get's ad revenue, people in need get a roadworthy car, and we all win.
@@tarstarkusz I see this must of been your first TH-cam vlog video ever then..... SMH
The point is supposed to be about the WORK, not some gay ass shit about rain.
Am I the only one that prefers JR fix a hooptie rather than his own R8? Honestly as much as you say you dont want to put other peoples projects back together this and the car flipping is my favorite!
Although it is really frustrating that he hasn't just finished the R8
I couldn't give a shit about the R8. It's like a fad on youtube to buy these salvaged supercars and fix them. I don't care, I have no interest in supercars - I will most likely never own a super car. I like when JR fixes these normal cars, because it seems like something I could do, anyone could spend the time to learn a little about wrenches, how craigslist works, and flip cheap cars. It is cool seeing this unique, funny, interesting guy, fix cheap cars and flip them. It seems more real to me. More down to earth. I am here because I like the person who is behind it, and will keep watching JR GO videos until he will stop uploading them.
I like supercars, but flipping shitboxes are so much better.
tbh maybe only 98.9 of us will never own a supercar....ive got a turd gen,is that a super car ???(kidding)
@@trillrifaxegrindor4411 3rd gen F body's are sick man! Waaaayyyyy cooler than any supercar, as long as it is owned by you and you enjoy it!
Eye patch and glasses like a BOSS
My mans need to get a monocle.
This is pretty cool helping out a car guy getting his car back and running.
My fav kind of WatchJrGo videos. Shows real talent, knowledge and detail; and most importantly..... NO CLICKBAIT tactics!!!
...yet. Let’s hope not though
JR you're a nice guy helping him out!! and you have the patience of a saint lol
I am in awe of your ability to tackle problems that others gave up on. Coupled with your positive attitude, you will go far.
Agreed, JR and Gabe are the good guys...
New business venture JR starts a landscape company........watch jr mow

@@kennethkruse9267 didn't know grandma's Malibu was on her period
Watch Jr grow
Followed by JR’s barber shop: Get JR’s flow
Well, hes not lacking for opportunities - in this market, he could get a job in about 30 minutes. Dudes got dedication!!
Now that you're a jobless bum, I make sure I dont miss a video. You got this!
Lmaoo
I even let the ads play...
@@kstricl ew no premium?! Peasant😏
@@povlrueger3898 What kind of an idiot _pays_ for TH-cam
@@povlrueger3898 I pay for enough other streaming services. TH-cam makes plenty off ads when I'm on mobile. On desktop, I normally don't see ads (for some odd reason 😏)
I watch every video now that you got fired
NBSYukon Scheff:😉🍻
I like every single one now too
I do too. But, we should start referring to it differently, since it might actually be a good thing. It's more of a transistion to full-time youtuber.
And the ads.
@tarstarkusz bro... point to where the bad man hurt you.
You're like ChrisFix and Hoovie had a child....
Yes!
JR, you're gold man. I'm not even worried about you. Between your wrenching skills, social media presence, and IT/computer knowledge, I know it's just a matter of time until you're raking in the dough for yourself. Keep up the good work, and as another commentor noted, be careful doing these odd jobs yourself once you lose your health insurance (though I'm assuming you got severance and COBRA for the time being?)
La Trace : well stated . Took my thoughts exactly. Great to read
Positive comments . Have a good one . Best wishes from
Canada.
I just wanted to add to the already fantastic comments that HF sells a slim dual head ratchet that works great for installation of the serpentine belt . No cheaters are needed !
I’m glad that I found this channel because it has become one of my favorites. 👍🏻
scott baros:😉🍻
YOU HAVE A NEW MISSION.
RESCUE AND FIX OTHER PEOPLES CARS TO HELP THEM OUT
Both you and Gabe got class. Helping your friend out and getting his car back on the rode, keep up the great work. Now please work on the R8!!!
Ross L: Thanks for the support!!
All og's should bingewatch all your vids and not skip one ad.. this channel WILL NOT DIE!
Filipe Moniz:😉🍻
“Watchjrmow” LMAO! I seriously laughed way to hard at that! Good stuff guys!👍
I really hope there will be a part 2. First drive and detail. Cool car, loved the format of this video. Thanks.
Speaking as an observer from the other side of the Atlantic, this is an amazing channel, it's positive.
Good work JR, say hi to Gabe, Amber et all. 👌👍
saintfunny: Cheers man!😉🍻
Gabe : your the Awesome BFF everyone appreciates having.
Thanks for being there and helping the guy out ! Wishing you
All the best buddy.
Omg this could be a cool series "Car rescue" helping people put there cars back together 👀
Easily the best of your videos... helping out a person with limited resources and other challenges. Bravo!
Awesome, thanks man!
Absolutely! It’s a cool car to work on 💯
@@WatchJRGo needs pin to the top
You doing okay Paul? Said you were in an accident??
@@jeesmith99 hiking accident, fell 30-40 feet onto rock. Doing alright now.
Paul Miner does it run now? Please show us :-)
I really liked this. It's reminiscent of the content I first found you for.
JR, you're really such an awesome guy. I love that you take the time to mentor people and you do it not only without being condescending, but while being supportive and helpful.
Man you can bring anything to life.
Awesome for you to help someone like that 👍 Bless You JR
I think it was one hell of a gesture for you to help this guy out and make nothing about it in the story. I watched the video and thought is the guy giving the car to JR or paying him or what. but to do all that work just to help a fellow man out shows that your a great person. I commend you for helping someone that needed help and did it out of the goodness of your heart.
I agree. The whole saturn line was garbage. Let it rest in peace.
Nice job, gentlemen - helping a friend in need. I salute you!
Unlike some of these lost causes, I've been watching your videos way before you got fired - and I still think that's bull.
On top of that, who thinks it's funny that someone got fired?
I'll tell you what's actually funny: that end of video handshake. Figure out which one you're going to use BEFORE you shoot :)
Looking forward to more of the L7 - after you test drive the Redline.
chemxfan: 😉🍻
I own a Saturn ion na... this is the video I’ve been waiting for 😂 This is just one of those cars I for some reason want lol
These little cars are awesome, I own an 04 redline. Not many people know about these, but they're so fun and unique. It's cool to see one on the channel 👍
Dude, you see: You're gaining many MORE Subs, and you're doing what you do so WELL!
This car is missing half of its mechanical components! *starts by cleaning windshield* LOL
Checking for spare bolts.
Bryce Reigle: gotta make sure the work area is clean... and find any nuts/ bolts
Bryce Reigle you wouldn’t want all that dust in your engine would you?
Love your channel! I am a Long time subscriber. keep up the good work.👍🏻
Dennis Clavin: 😉🍻
Those subs r jumping up buddy. Keep up the good work.
Seriously! 1k in the last few hours.
You definitely make the COVID stay at home time easier. Love the channel.
Thank you for helping get another Ion Redline back on the road!! I own a 2006 and I have to say I dont see many on the rod these days. You are awesome!! By the way if that Ion came with the boast gauge from the factory that means it is a competition package and it will have a limited slip differential.
The content we expect as we WatchJrGo broke
I really liked this video, I know you said at the end you didn’t want people messaging you to put their projects back together but I think it is pretty good content. Honestly I like all of your content though and I’m looking forward to continuing to follow you on your TH-cam journey. Thanks for the great content!
Miguel Morganus:😉🍻
Nice of you to spend a day to rescue someone else's car - I can imagine the difficulty of trying to pick up someone'e half job and try to finish it. Great job but completely understand why we won't see it again - something that many would not even try!
You need to bring an E-Z-Up for times just like these. Great job, nice project Guys!
Love saturns. Especially they Ion. I have 2 ion quad coupes.
I don't think I have ever seen anybody type that. "Love Saturns".
Mexican Spec my dads lasted 400 k miles lol and got 44 per gallon
Almighty Aimz I’ve seen them at the auto auction with 1,000,000 plus and records
I’m ALL IN on this build!
You're a great friend. Looks like Gabe ran into some hard times and you are there for him, even mowing his yard! I'm subbed for life, nice
Delta platform is super underrated. Love this
Yum, I love me some Ecotec. Nice of you to help him out!
Wishing you the best. Personally I like the cheaper cars you and your friends repair, but it’s your channel. Look forward to your upcoming videos
Very nice of you and Gabe to help with this project. I don't blame you for asking that people don't message you to do this. I can't wait to see the finished product and a test drive.
I think flipping and rescuing cars that weren't finished is your calling JR. You and Gabe are a great team.
Daniel Zermeno: 😉🍻
Someone give this man a TV show where he does repairs for people in need while showing basic diy car care tips along the way!
2:22 "breakfast bowls". Heheheh
The food kind 😂

Great job JR alway very hard taking over someone else’s half finished job
That dash worked great. It took the light out of the way instead of being between your eyes and the road. It made driving at night a lot clearer.
Loved this video. Thank you for being so kind to that sir.
gah the lack of revs and test drive killed me at the end! but loved the video. really cool of you to help a guy out, totally understand not wanting your inbox full of HELP ME requests! but... maybe have a separate email or something for people to request help and pick the cool or deserving ones once and a while! :D
Gabe and Jr mobile mechanics , why because they have nothing to do !
I'm actually putting my Saturn ion back together too as well
JR, I honestly think losing your job may be a huge blessing for you. I know I’m enjoying the content. And judging by the subscriber boost so is everyone else.
now YOU GUYS ARE LEARNING THE TENT WORKS GREAT GOOD JOB
Twerking the torque maker 😂 your randomness kills me 🤭
It would be great to be buddies with you and Gabe! Amazing work guys! Keep cranking it up!
Gerard Vasquez Jr. : 😉🍻
JR going ANYWHERE in the world to save the Saturn ION redlines!!! That's what he said, right? 110k subs - keep it up!
I only just found your channel this week am I’m loving it. Keep it up
Musicmixer721:😉🍻
Waiting for 250k subscribers! U definitely deserve it. Cheers from Canada
For 10 minutes I kept thinking, "Get a pop up cover", then you did it.
gigasipke: Great minds!😉🍻
Loving the content since you went YouTubing full time. Keep it up, Man! It’s awesome! In other news... is that a Routan in the background o_O?
vinycard: Yup. It’s my troop transport/ mobile toolbox. 😉🍻
Holy Cr*p its a manual! Awesome! I didnt know these came with a good gearbox
you have a big heart, helping that guy out. Sure the job was a pain, but you need the project and he needs a hand.
Love your videos however most seem to not have an ending. This one would be great with everything put back together and you taking out for a test drive along with a dialog of your thoughts on the project. It's like reading a great book only to have the last chapter missing.
Clutch went straight to the floor. I really wanted to drive it but who knows how long the clutch will take 🍻
This is in addition to my comment. I am telling you, you're onto something with this video! Good insight, stupadasso 1964.
I didn't know that car existed and the suicide doors look cool actually. Love your videos and can't wait to see the R8 done. I can't wait to see your Camaro fixed as well.🙂👍👍
All your videos so entertaining. 👍 never miss one video
Brandon Mitchell:😉🍻
love the video jr. see the tool box in the back ground and like the look of it. need to get a new tool box and was wondering what kind it was? so I could have a look and see if it is what I am look for.
all best and keep up the good work

Saving a Saturn I reckon you have made Hoovie very happy.

The full time TH-cam is kinda working ? U got 10k subs in 1 week
That instrument cluster worked fine for me. I used to have an ION and that was easier to read at a glance than the ones in front of the driver.
Had no idea the Saturn ION Red Line was supercharged. Excellent video.
I owned a 2004 Saturn Vue, 6 cylinder Honda engine, AWD.
Loved that SUV.
Thanks John Ross, Gabe, great job!
Why would you bother? Let it rest in peace in the junkyard where it belongs.
*Helping someone else is a good thing* and is why this has been such a great video. If you think about it we watch car vids on repairs to get a clue on how to handle impossible situations not just to hear a bunch of blah blah blah. But... helping others in need is a concept people could not only embrace but, even rally around. What about a go fund me of *JR's POWER CREW* to afford more?
This car rescue type of thing was awesome. Way different than all the other car channels out there!
112k Amazing growth! JR I am rooting for you buddy!
MSP IT Pro 2 days and it’s 115k
In the long run, I think you'll be happier moving forward. How hard is it to find parts for Saturn's? And again, Gabe, you rock!!! You are really going to be huge in John Ross' future making a go of being self-employed. You're a beast of a friend. Das Boost? LOL!!
Hey J.R. I'm working on a 2005 PT Cruiser. It says the O2 Heater is failed on both banks. I replaced both sensors, no dice. I checked the grounds. All good. I saw the PCM can cause that, but that's an extreme swap. Any idea of what I should do?
That saturn uses cobalt ss drivetrain. Common ish stuff
The ecm is simple to replace on a PT cruiser 😎
Joey M: I’d double check any ideas in forums and if nothing else works, proceed with PCM swap. I know it seems like a huge ordeal. Just go slow and keep track of all fasteners etc. that you remove. (Always disconnect the battery first!)
Good luck!!! 😉🍻
I'd check the wiring before changing the PCM. Heaters are only needed during warm-up in cold weather regardless. Probe the line by the PCM on a cold startup and see if you have voltage. If you do, problem is not there. Not familiar with the car but if the PCM is not providing +5 volts itself than its tripping a relay somewhere. Something like this I'd probably work backwords and find a rubbed through and corroded copper power line somewhere.
If the PCM is getting burned it probably a symptom and not a cause.
Not a fan of the Saturn brand but love to see a forgotten car comeback to life
good job ... i think you found your new line of work ... mobile mechanic
Gabe is such a good friend
agdebie 🤗
I want to see it run!! Moving itself down the road under its own power iv never heard of the Saturn ion redline before
That was still awesome JR. I wonder if you'd make extra money being a travelling mechanic from time to time? That'd be pretty interesting. Kudos to helping that subscriber with his Saturn Redline. I hope to eventually have my 1998 Volkswagen Beetle TDI 5 speed back in order and running perfect. Best wishes and Peace Out!
The liquid ice needs to be in the shots in funnier ways. Also, nice job helping him out. Don’t leave us hanging, we wanna see it drive.
Miles Loretta:😉🍻
Fun to watch, you two have the patience of a Saint! I would have been cursing and throwing things.
That’s awesome man ! Helping a friend in need and saving a cool car.
Keep those vids coming, we'll be watching. Already learned a lot. Thanks man.
Thanks for helping him !
Please more WATCH-JR-MOW featuring Gabe! I was on the RIGHT CHANNEL!
Funny, my dad taught me "star" tightening in the mid-early '60's. Some things live a lifetime, or two or three, or???????
Jr an Gaybe ,hats off to you guys helping that man out hopefully he pays it forward. Nice tent it will come in handy. Bless you guys.
Genuine nice bloke, favourite car channel on TH-cam watch from UK.
James Harper: Cheers, man😉🍻
Just set up a 10x12 canopy...I picked mine up cheap- but I've swapped several engines under tarps..set up a van or truck to tie to and use pvc to make a "t" pee...plenty of room and your dry.
Def do a follow up and drive!
Good job man... excited for the next one!
Love Gabe's Dr horrible shirt 😂😂
dlinemusic: Great eye!!!😉🍻
I'm sure he paid you for the work? But anyways a video with Gabe is a automatic watch, like, and share. Gabe is the G.O.A.T of all things GO, and the BEST wingman to JR! Two hard-core thugs ridin high in the routan crouton! ;-)
Gotta stay flyyyyyyyy yyyyy yyyyyy in the minivan 😂
