i wil say one thing it does seem the chevy 5.3 is a pretty damn good engine though. Just get a trans behind it that stays together and have a hell of a truck
Had 2006 dodge 1500 4 door, laramie loaded black with chrome wheels . The only truck i got alot of compliments every day! Loved it, sold at 170,000 miles, lucky o problems!
Those lights remind me of the first time I ever loved a truck....it was Marty's truck in "Back to the Future".... freaking loved that Toyota in the movie
I'm wondering if this is the original engine and transmission married together at the factory if so they are dying together after a good long 300k marriage.
My 05 2500 4x4 is at 395k ready to break the 400k mark. Still original engine and trans never been apart. Bought it new in October of 04 with 3 miles on it.
@@JoyJoyce-mz1mp it’s so weird to me because one side I hear rams are unreliable and the transmission and blah blah and the other side everyone says it’s reliable and etc
I got an 04 GMC siera Z71 with 50,000 miles and no rust i got it from original owner was parked in a garage for awhile wish I could put a picture on here black with Grey leather interior the only thing it needs is the headliner fixed 5.3 v8
Win some. Lose some LOL. That's the way it goes in this auction game. Merry Christmas and THANK YOU, for all of your time, hard work and great videos. I love the Monte Carlo. Mark in Richmond, VA.
The long bed ck1500 would make a great daily, we had ours for 16 yrs work/family vehicle never had any problems out of it the 5.7 vortec was an absolute beast never failed . My family relied it on without it the mortgage or bills wouldn't get paid , best truck we ever had . We upgraded to a 6.5 2500 diesel ( HUGE MISTAKE ) . We miss the ck1500 lol
Honestly, since you got the truck for $1,600, it would be awesome if you made a video about rebuilding the engine and cleaning the entire oil system to remove metal shavings. Maybe Monkey Wrench Mike could join in and help get it back on the road! For the transmission, you could try adding some ATF and testing to see if it's still in good shape. It would make for an amazing and informative project video! Which we all will want to watch. Merry Christmas.
Thats right he isn't even giving it a chance something is up its all electronic it could be a speed sensor or something stupid. plus that sound its making im betting on water pump obviously he doesn't know dodges well and shouldn't have bought it in first place. My 05 sounded exactly like that and it was a water pump which is really common on hemis to fail. If it made it to 300k that's impressive with it looking like some kid put it through hell. I would say take belt off start it for a second see if sound is still there takes 3 minutes to confirm a bearing or something however it does have that crappy mds i wouldn't own an 06 or newer period. 2005 is last of the best of 3rd gens. I live right next to this guy maybe 15 miles i have drove past his house many times. i should go over and look at it myself lol. hell maybe it has a couple parts that fit an 2005 like seats if they are any good
Hey from one of the first hundred viewers! thanks to introducing us to copart and the gift that is vehicle auctions. You NEVER know what youre getting buying a used car, Id say an auction gives you more info than the usual stealership or seller
Merry Christmas, Randy! Sorry the cletus and earl Ram didnt end well, but your here on earth with all your viewers, what better christmas present do you want? Always a blessing to be alive.
The 88-98 Chevy trucks are some good ones. Better known as the OBS Chevy. I have a 97 C1500 with the 5.7 Vortec that i drive daily. Keep up the good content.
I believe I know some of what is wrong with that pickup... The transmission cooler inside the radiator is leaking... This is why there was pressure in the radiator, and is likely why the transmission fluid is low... You may be able to get the transmission working by adding fluid to it... As for the bearings, you are probably correct .. I have an F-350 which blew the transmission cooler, and filled the radiator... ATF is at a much higher pressure than coolant, so it is unlikely there is much if any coolant in the transmission...
Merry Christmas Randy❤. May you and your family be safe this holiday season. Can't wait to see those cars get another chance at being on the road again.
randy that EXP hit up PoleBarnGarage or Junkyard Digs or Mortske Repair? one of them might actually be quite interested in that seems like its something that would be right up their alley
@@thunderroad7289 PoleBarn might destroy it but in a fun way however Junkyard Digs and Mortske would fix it up so it can go back on the road make the content from it then probably sell it on later
1999 was the first year for the round body for the 1500 and Regular and Extended Cab 2500. The Crew Cab 2500 and the 3500 was the OBS until 2000. The OBS carried on until 2002 for the 3500HD.
Merry Christmas! Suggestion: Have a livestream, start the Ram, put a cinderblock on the gas pedal, and have a lottery for how long the engine holds up. After she blows, send the engine to I Do Cars.
Merry Christmas Randy!! This truck looks like one of those trucks used to chase storms. I just kept thinking of twister while you was showing all the cables and hardness
Hey Randy, Merry Christmas to you and your family. I can’t believe you actually got that rough red Ram. What amazed me is that it started and had over 300k miles. I think that transmission just needs to be serviced or at least topped off and it might come back. That would be a better pull/push yard vehicle than that Volkswagen van. With that many miles, I really doubt you can get more than 40% of what you have in it. For your 2023 Ram, since there’s no more Hemi engine option for the newer model, just keep it. A lot of brands are moving away from V8’s as measures to make them save fuel is not doing so good as they are causing more problems then it’s worth, like that cylinder deactivation crap. Apart from that, I think you’re doing good with the channel. To many more videos going to 2025 and beyond.
Merry Christmas Randy!!! I love your videos!!! Keep up the great work!! I want to meet you one day!!! You inspire me every time I watch your videos!! 😁
Fresh to see one of these not being a rust bucket and still got original panels. For $800 I'd gladly take that, as long as it wouldn't take another $7000 to get it running.
Merry Christmas to you and your family Randy, thank you for your amazing videos. I really enjoyed watching you, my father passed on the 9th of December so your videos have really helped me to cope and keep things real, I look forward to more cool videos in 2025 best wishes to you 👍🎄🎅🇺🇲🇬🇧.
@AutoAuctionRebuilds Thank you Randy, I really appreciate you taking the time to reply with your kind messages, I hope 2025 brings you and your family every happiness, best wishes to you, looking forward to your next video,👍🇺🇲🇬🇧.
Thank you so much for all these videos you are show us we as a people appreciate that for me personally I love your videos from the bottom of my heart I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New year all the best to you and to your family
How can people be horrible and nasty to Mike he's 100percent one of the nicest honest and genuinely good guy that proper pissed me off hearing you say that about his neighbours being like that Mike's neighbours need to grow up
My cousin had one of those trucks and their notorious for transmission issues actually he's had a few of them. Every time he had a transmission issue he was able to do a partial transmission fluid and filter change and he would put two things of Lucas transmission treatment in it and it would go for a long time but eventually it would start acting up again he would repeat the process and it would be good again for some time.
Thank God Mike bought his own truck 😂
Been a tough year. For all those that are struggling like most, have a blessed Christmas!! Here’s to a better year.
thanks. So hope next year is better,,
A Dodge with a knocking Hemi and a bad transmission? It's a Christmas miracle!
Didn't they come that way from the dealer?
@JohnBaker-vm1wf sure did
Lol funny you say that when chevy is worse than dodge on transmissions im living proof.
i wil say one thing it does seem the chevy 5.3 is a pretty damn good engine though. Just get a trans behind it that stays together and have a hell of a truck
Yeah you left out the trucks got 320,000 mi on it. It did well!
Randy trying to get Mike kicked out of the neighborhood by the HOA. 😃
Seal the gasket 😁
Its a dodge truck what you aspected
HOA shouldn't exist in a free country period. Old entitled karens telling how others should live their lives is a no go.
That red hits! Love that truck, will be interesting what you do with it! Happy holidays to everyone out there and hope you have a blessed day!
im to broke to afford anything for christmas tbh bills kickin ass
An your not alone same on my end
At least they're being paid.
What was the point of saying that?
Hang in there man. 💪🏾😊
@@jet-cemetery same 😩
Thanks for all the content this year Randy
Drain the oil, fill it with mtn dew and make a video of it redlined till it lets the smoke out!
Idk why, but when i first saw the old Silverado the other day. For a second, i thought it was the broken down Silverado at the turnaround point, lol.
I did too lol

Almost 400,0000 miles I am not surprised especially with those questionable mod’s 😂
Very questionable😂
308.800 miles are nearly 400K miles now?
Still has quite a few miles on it and I agree with the questionable choices.
Pretty sure those cables under the dash was for a power adder product which is probably why the transmission is messed up
Merry Christmas Randy. You can't win them all.
Love ya Randy merry Christmas can’t wait to see the white flood cobra more
Fix the dodge Randy and find time can polish shit and look good and project u nick
If tack isn’t working then usually the transmission won’t shift into overdrive in some vehicles
lol in this truck, tach not working is the least of its issues.
@@zythr9999true but least he knows. Shoulda bought that 94 ford with the cummins swap. I’m it sold for a pretty penny
