The amount of business this channel has brought to the car wizard just from Tyler's exposure must be astronomical.
Well, Wizard does have a yacht now.😆
Yep.. if you search Car Wizard he now has his own channel... its a different vibe from this one.. but i like it.
@@toddrasmussen13 actually several yachts
I think I remember him saying he’s booked months in advance now or something
Lol he also said it in this video
I heard the Wizard just bought an island.
Hoovie, I still keep saying that you NEED to contact Cummins when you hit a million miles and join their prestigious Million Mile Club!
His will probably be the nicest one listed
He needs this just for the badges.
FAKE, a original car that does 1 million miles, must have original engine, never touched, original gearbox, never opened, and origignal running gear... this has none off those..
@@graemejohnson9025 it's all original except the trans but yeah needs all 3 to count.
Minor repair. It will make it
That 2500 Cummins has a really good tune on it. And you can tell because it performs the way it does, putting out that power and torque without blowing massive amounts of black smoke out of it. That means it was tuned correctly.
excess black smoke has a benefit of reducing EGT's by running richer which can keep components from cracking/failing due to heat during peak power demands.
@@wacabby Yes, which isn't needed in a 400hp engine, That is needed when you're pushing high hp at high RPMs.
A 400hp Cummins blowing a lot of smoke is just an over-tuned engine that is wasting fuel.
@@calvinh.8882 heh well it feels fun when making a lot of smoke
I’ve been watching for over five years now which is crazy to me. But at the end to see your garage with all your exotics is crazy to see. From the $500 Lincoln Town Car to now, it just blows my mind.
Totally agree...
Yo 🔥th-cam.com/video/rdJ9bsN7JAw/w-d-xo.html.
What about that Chrysler lebaron
yup ever since the blue late 70s Lincoln that barely squeezed into the garage at hoovies old house 😂🤣
@@bigdog8993 remember he made that video with it where he crashed into Apollo 911 parallel parking
The sound of a Chrysler product starter turning and turning - know it well!
Its had that same sound for 40 years
It's a Cummins not a Chrysler product. I drive a t880 daycab with a Cummins x15. It's not a Chrysler either
Same
Sounding like a happy dolphin
@@andrewdonohue1853 you’re on crack my boy, while the engine isn’t a product of chrysler if you’ve ever worked on any Dodge, Ram, Chrysler all has Mopar stamped into the parts. All have it in the little window stickers. It’s all the same!!!!
I would highly recommend taking the time to check the timing gear on the Cadillac they used a neoprene coated gear from the factory that becomes very brittle over time and will shatter WITH NO WARNING. If that happens the engine will bend multiple valves and scrap the engine. I know from experience. If you take care of that issue the 500 Cadillac is pretty bullet proof if you can afford the Gas.
100% facts. Gm used the neo gears on several makes in that era. I've seen them go bad within a couple hundred miles, if the car sat for a long time and somebody just started using it again. It seems like happens to quite a few pristine, low mileage, garage kept cars some people get lucky like me and it shears before it even starts.
Stupid neoprene smh
Also the oil pump bolts on in that area and is a weak point.
@@southfloridaoffroadrecover7251 a higher volume pump also helps these engines live a long happy life I forgot to add that thanks for the reminder
*NEOPRENE*?! That's... interesting.
Fix it up Hoovie and then get over the million mile mark! She's made it this far gotta keep her going
As a former contractor at Cummins Engines....I couldn't help but laugh here. Yep, I knew what it was and no, I didn't work in their plants or on their engines.....glad you didn't drive it back with that wide open fuel pump. Will be excited to see it stop at 999999 Haha or does it really roll over? We shall see...Haha. Go Hoovie/Car Wizard!!
i think that cluster is 7 digits
Being a diesel, 1 million isn't so much expected as optimistically anticipated. I'm happy for your miled up truck. I had a 94 Chevrolet S10 pick up truck in my twenties and practically lived in it. I'm sure my buddy and I put on at least 100,000 kms just driving around to skateparks together. I maintained it fairly well, always staying on top of the fluids. When I finally sold it to a friend who was building an S10 lowrider, it had clocked 552,000 kms. I got $160 for it and the interior got another life in a lowrider. That engine was amazing! 4.3 litre V6, automatic. The next year I believe came the vortec, and the simplicity was lost. The 94 was a delight to work on and I learned so much while I owned it. Ultimately the major problem cursing the truck in its later years was electrical issues caused by deteriorating trailer wiring to the hitch.
The 4.3s are excellent engines
I love this truck. This and the 49 Caddy are my favorites you’re doing right now
The 49 caddie is nice but I prefer the 59/60 El dorado.
Yo 🔥th-cam.com/video/rdJ9bsN7JAw/w-d-xo.html.
…dude has owned so many cars and the 49 Cadillac is your favorite???
Whatever makes you happy lmao
@@paulcarmi8130 pretty sure I said “right now” and yeah, it’s a clean cool restomod, it’s interesting and it’s pretty. I don’t give a shit about unobtainable cars. Seeing something from a different era that’s been taken care of and modernized is way more interesting to me.
Hoovie has an instinct that wat ever he is driving, it will break down sooner than later.
Damn...even on the side of the road Hoovie can come up with content.
Yo 🔥th-cam.com/video/rdJ9bsN7JAw/w-d-xo.html.
Does that turtle in the grass need to see the Car Wizzard?
"The Ferrari and Lambo are broken at home" "Oh, no". 😂 Wizard can get another high priced boat.
All he was hearing was ching ching ching ching LOOOOOOOOOOOOL
I miss when an expensive car for him was still four figures. I enjoyed his channel more when he was buying crappy land yachts and fully depreciated luxury cars and had to fit them in a three car garage. He had money, sure, but he was buying cars an average person might buy. Now that he's got Lamborghinis and Ferraris and two Bentleys he's a bit out of touch. I sympathize with a $4000 Lincoln breaking down, not so much a $400000 Lamborghini.
That was the most willy Wonka esk "oh no" I've ever heard
No wonder the Wizard has a giant Yacht and shops for fancy paintings with Tyler as a customer the Wiz is a lucky man!!! Great vid Mr Hoovie
I don't think his boat qualifies as a yacht.
Wizard saying “30min job but Ill charge you an hour”😂
Unless I have to gas the boat up then it will be 10 hours.
Always round up !
The thing I like best about Hoovies Garage is he doesn’t have to make click-bait titles for his videos. He’s the crazy Gringo That Delivers. Never disappointed.
Glad to hear that the issue was relatively minor on your million mile Ram truck.
Yay for buying WatchJRGo's Aztek! Love how you take care of your Wichita TH-camrs and bring them along for the ride, I'm a fan of every one of them.
I was just thinking on your last video I watched, how this million mile beast was going.
So glad you uploaded this video.
Love your content mate. Cheers from 🇦🇺
Yo 🔥th-cam.com/video/rdJ9bsN7JAw/w-d-xo.html.
Happy Birthday! Yes, we do enjoy. We also enjoy seeing you and your family happy. So be happy too when you can be!
imagine that mustang was a fan and he was trying to show off and he watches this later to see hoovie saying “it’s a v6”🤣
Challenger*
The Challenger driver would probably laugh.
That’s most probably what happened
impressive that motor is still running so strong. but what i am super blown away by is that the dodge is still around that motor.
Hoovies: how do you know this?
Wizard: Well, I am a wizard and everything
I guess this will make the 1.000.000 much more important and something for you to remember forever.
There's always a bright side.
What a beautiful bus. Hell it’s broken, Tyler you legend
ah yes....the pretty pink Poorish!
polished the shaft
this is gonna hurt
we had the misfire
it was surging alot
it was ripping the interior apart
what a bang
broken at home
hopefully I will be using it a little bit more
it was very reliable over the past 2 years
great job Wizard
I'll cry off camera
Some people go for the mile high club. Hoovie goes for the million mile low club
That truck really encompasses the spirit of your channel quite nicely...soooo close
Happy Birthday Tyler!
Love your channel, been watching for many years!
🇦🇲
Obligatory 🇦🇲
Happy Birthday Hoovie, thanks for all the many years of entaintment.
Love the friendship between you and the wizard.😁
My first thought is that you should always carry a spare fuel filter.
Nooo! I was wondering if there’d be an update on this thing
This is 'classic' Hoovie ... the everyman, relatable hooptie drama ... 🤩
I enjoy content like this far more than the predictable & elite super car, exotic stuff ... 😏
That blue Aztek is glorious, especially after JR cleaned out a hundred pounds of sand and sediment out of it
said literally nobody ever 🙈
JR seriously brought that thing back from the dead, he went well above and beyond, I would have used some gas and a match, myself.
@@Jr-if4ge glitch in the system
Its got.... personality...
Someone said they are reliable. Walter White killed drug dealers with his.
Thanks for spending more time breaking down the bill!
"We were on the verge of greatness, we were this close."
Things have a way of working themselves out. Best of luck.
I like how he has over a million dollars of cars in the garage and a sheet as a curtain!classy!
VINwiki did a video a few months ago where they estimated the value of his collection. I don't remember but it was a couple million dollars.
Just picked up my XC 90 fromNew in 2016 and now with about 110,000 miles on it the Volvo dealers. Just had an $1100 bill which included oil change and two new batteries one that generally runs the car and one that runs the accessories. Never knew that that. My Bentley Continental GT, a 2007 has a similar set up. Anyway watching you settle up with the car wizard makes me feel that I’ve gotten away lucky most of the time. It’s interesting that he could fix the variety of cars that you managed to accumulate and keep them alive. It’s such a pleasure to watch your channel as well as his gonna keep it going guys
Give magic Mike the Aston. He deserves it plus it’s a ticking time bomb 💣
Great channel glad your truck didn't suffer anything serious simple fix. Shout-out to car wizard he's the man to talk too. He knows it all 👍
You gotta prime the diesel i had one die on me the other day sucked! Had to get it towed
Put a gasoline soaked rag on the air filter. Safer than starting fluid
Not when it has an electric lift pump. It will prime itself.
This is one of my favorite Hoovies Garage videos. Happy Birthday!
Hoovie: "All the big leaks from the shaft. you polished it and put it back in?"
Wiz: "Yep all the way deep"
How did you all miss this?
greatest show on earth. dont let it go to your head.
Another great video from Hoovie. Thanks
Couldn't help but notice that 1979 MGB on the trailer. I use to have one for many years. It was my first car, actually. Spent a ton of time working on it. Gotta love that Lucas wiring.....not. Word of advice, replace the hazard warning switch. If all of you gauges go out at the same time, it's the hazard switch. They are all wired through the switch. Also, if you do not have to worry about emission testing the car, you can take it all off, put on a two barrel, progressive Weber carb and intake and a high flow exhaust and do donuts in 1st gear all day long!
Lucas - Prince of Darkness
When he's happy, the video ends with music. When he's sad/stressed, it just ends.
Tyler: Any quirks?
Doug pops in: THIIIIS is an Aston Martin Vanquish...
I was expecting, "And the features?" or something along those lines.
11:23 ignition coils do eventually just wear out, and that replacement cost is pure insanity! There are no alternatives?!?
Congratulations on one million miles. I thought I was doing good with 378,000 on my TBird.
loved the show, but motortrend charged me twice for over a year for a subscription that only worked 50% of the time. When i brought the issues to their attention they just canceled my subscription and refunded me for just one month of 13 months i was charged for two subscriptions (one not being "scyned to the system".)
Thier customer service is aweful.
I love both your show and Roadkill, just not willing to deal with a shit app and the horrible people who run it.
That's MotorTrend. A company that ruined Roadkill and got greedy. I hope they don't do that to Hoovie's Garage.
Weird. I've not had issues? The App is a bit clunky, but I think Netflix and TH-cam have spoiled us.
@@tsp159 For me, the app worked about 50% of the time and gave me various errors when lauched. Even when it did work, casting as always an issue so i was stuck watching it on my phone. Additionally, the app would crash all the time. All that i could deal with, but the customer service couldnt. My "suppport ticket" was open for weeks on end and the solution at the end was to cancel my subscription without my knowlege and without a refund for 12/13 months i'd been subcribed and charged.
Thats the tip of the iceburg as far as issues ive had with them thoughout the last year. Staff was always been rude and unhelpful as well. Maybe I just have shit luck, but it left a really bad taste in my mouth; so much so that i will no longer watch my favorite shows because i refuse to give one more penny to the greedy people who now own them.
Only Hoovies can make a broken down by the side of the road video and get thousands of views. Great vid.
It’s a diesel. You drained the fuel lines and they need to be re-primed before the fuel pump will push the new fuel into the injectors.
This.
But then he couldn’t make a video
And lines and filters could be dirty now from crud of the bottom of the fuel tank.
Knowledge bro
It had a quarter tank when it was being towed. I guess you didn’t watch past the intro.
Love that you keep showing Hallett to the word!
Drive in reverse when clocking the 1 million miles, and install an auxiliary tank in the thing !
When that V6 challenger flew by I couldn’t contain my laughter hahaha
I would love to know the average $ per month Hoovie spent on auto repair over the last year :)
I think earlier this year he totaled it up in one episode, was like $120k for 2021
$10k a month about right. Not too bad for a fleet of “unreliable and cheap” vehicles.
@@mischiefpwns More like unreliable and expensive...
All tax deductible - business expenses
So sorry about the truck but.... I GOT TO SEE THE BEAUTIFUL CADDY AGAIN! I too am like the Weezard in that my tee shirt is a little wet from the drool every time I get to see the Caddy. ❤❤❤❤
Give that fuel pump a smack
"...this thing is 999, 897 and... in a tow" Epic!
You’re right about the RAM‼️It will never make anywhere near 1,000,000 miles.
It was 300 miles short. It got close
The innuendo between these two is epic.
I'm not educated on Cummins so here's my guess. Has the shut off solenoid failed or the wire fallen off?
There's a regulatory system on the cp3 pump (high pressure pump mounted on the engine) I've had one fail on my 5.9, common issue that happens. It fails and tells the pump to put out no pressure and or it tells it to max out pressure which mine did causing it to sound like a knocking motor. Small sensor that causes the issue. Fairly simple to change
Used to watch his posts religiously...but now I think he is sacrificing cars just to get viewer response and the ALMIGHTY 👍
Just below 1,000,000 miles and you didn't get the Extended Warranty. Bummer!
I have to say it.... David... I MEAN!! CAR Wizard... He doing GREAT with his business.
You were sooooo close!!!
You were towing my dream car. Love MG!!!!
Notifications are on 💀😎
One of my favorite memories involves an Aztec. I went to go pick one up for junk and when I was hooking it up this dog, a Jack Russell terrier, practically demanded I play fetch with him.
Man you gotta get it fixed, the best looking 3rd gen dodge ram I've ever seen but the wheels need cleaned
He also needs to get that rust sanded down and painted before it gets worse.
@@mikeyslam0x193 haha that rust is from the inside. There's no metal behind it, it's rusted through. Typical on most pickup beds.
love this channel BUT i need that sheet over the window in your garage to be replaced with some type of blind system! how u managed to hooptiefy that beautiful garage is HILARIOUS!
The Wizard is absolutely amazing.
At least it seems to have a good strong starting battery!!! Gosh, not even my little 4 cyl Escape spins over that fast!! I'm jealous!
Leave it with the Wizard overnight, he can fix it and take it on a 200 mile test drive🤣🤣🤣
The TRX towing a trailer with the Dodge on it at maximum towing capacity was very funny. 😂
Man that bill was more then every vehicle I've owned cost.
The mustard/white '68-'72 Chevy pickup looks rad.
Wizaaard
Happy birthday Tyler. I hope your cake didn't explode as well. I've had years like that. Everything with a motor all in one year. Best of luck.
Low pressure fuel pump, should get the low pressure warning light add on
6:19 best comment ever, "V6, they're fun to show off..."
You ran a Dyno test on an engine with a million miles!? 🤣
Wizard - "30 min job, but I'll charge you for an hour" 🤣🤣 7:50
I love MGB's. I've had SO . MANY. Last 1 had the Supercharged Engine from the SLK Merc
Never heard of that, that's seems a good fit.
@@shaunportlock4924 It fit like a glove, who ever did the swap did a good job. They just forgot to upgrade the brakes!!! which is the first job I did in my ownership
Happy birthday to you, Hoovie. I hope you make it to 56 like me on the 25th.
Drain the lines up front with the key on. It will spray a bit but if you got air in the lines it will not pull fuel.
What a beautiful 72 Chevy truck behind the Aston!
Has to sell one of 3 Lamborghini.
Chooses not to sell the Murcielago because it has been more reliable.
The Murci immediately brakes down.
I like the way the ‘bonnet’ is replacing the word ‘hood’ in the Wizard’s vocabulary.
Hoovie its good to hear you measure torque in lb ft.

Vanquish is a great name. That’s what the Aston Martin does to pocketbooks. lol July is always car repair month for me too.
I love how this man has over a million dollars worth of cars in the garage and the window looks like it has a sheet nailed up over it. Ha Ha Ha. I know your cars keep you broke but get a curtain rod man. JK
Look on the bright side, Tyler. The truck didn't burst into flames.
Did you try yelling at it?
You're almost there!!! 1M Miles!!
hello Tyler could we get a track day with both mustangs? that would make a great video
This
Love your DBZ reference at 1:57 🤣🤣🤣
