260,000 miles on a Chevy Malibu? It was a win for someone.
Agreed
As long as its not the V6 It can make it that far with a good service record ? The V6 NOPE !!
@@brettjeffries7322 I’m shocked either can make it!
It was a win for scrap yard .
I agree.
51:15 That laugh....
That's it folks, Randy has finally lost his mind! 😅😁🤣
Hehehe!
Over a Chevy no less! 😂
Lol. Yes ur absolutely right.
To be fair 267k miles on GMs worst engine in a hybrid that doesn't tell you its over heating until its dead is pretty impressive.
Yeah I was pretty surprised it got to 260,000 miles. On a Chevy Hybrid? Of course we don’t know what all was done to it over the years.
I'm surprised it made it to the FENCE of the destination, but I already knew it was a bad buy when it has a hybrid vehicle with nearly 300k miles, then I was extremely like HELL NAW when I saw someone that most likely doesn't know what they're doing messed with the electrical, but like 0.4% of me was like, at least its most likely wiring of the hybrid system.
Turn the heater on and it'll take the temperature down
Do it again on something
@@lancehigdon8683 randy had the heat on in this video he said it was cold outside
For once Randy you should have left one at IAA !! 😅😅😅 Come on a 260,000 mile GM Hybrid !! That alone plus even Jessica saying HELL NO ! 🤔😅😅😅
I would keep the battery and put a junk one in it.
I mean it needs an engine, a battery is going to be the least of anybody's concerns. I might even sell it right to the junkyard, you might get more money out of it than sending it back to auction.
When I attended SUNY Morrisville one of the professors had a hobby of buying old clunkers and just letting them run with a brick on the pedal to see how long before they'd blow up.
The best story on one of those was a late 70s Nova with an inline six. They did all kinds of stuff to it trying to kill it, coolant added to the oil, etc. but it was so sloppy that it would just heat up until the pistons would lock up... then once cooled down it would start up again.
I bet those batterys are not cheap either !
At this point I agree. It is going back as a non runner.
If he put no battery in it he would be giving someone the same clue he looks for 😂 I would list it as catastrophic engine damage no one deserves to be surprised by that again. Hopefully someone needs it as a parts car
@@Duckswag87 A junkyard will buy it and part it out. There is no category like that. It either runs or it doesn't. A battery at this point won't matter. He might as well keep it to offset what loss he is going to take.
The only one making out in these transactions is the auction place.
@@mexicanspec I was merely joking about his take on cars without batteries. You’re probably spot on with your estimation
Let’s have a moment of silence for that starter 😂
Most durable part on the car, should take that off before scrapping it maybe mount it on a plaque (or sell it to someone who needs a starter, since it's plainly invincible)
With that auto stop thing they have to be tough
😂😂😂😂😂😂
With almost 300K miles, I would check the catalytic converter. A clogged converter will cause the heating problem. I’ll bet that if you replace it you would be good unless your pushing it over the limit trashed the engine.
It’s a GM product. That car is very lucky it hit the mileage that it did.
300 degrees dang Randy you could have slow cooked a brisket in that engine bay 😂
omg i love brisket!!!
I bought a fully loaded cruze LTZ for $1500 with 100k miles. It had a blow Head gasket. Replaced the whole motor for $2,000. And now for $3500 total I have a perfect running $7,000 cruze lol. Sometimes it’s worth it to roll the dice
I wouldn't touch a used Hybrid in a million years
Unless its a decent Prius i would not either !
Volkswagen Golf GTE is a decent hybrid. Pretty good and very fast cars
wont have one new
TRU DAT TOO !!!!
I remember at one time Randy said to all of us: "Never, ever buy a vehicle "sight unseen" .......hahahaha..... Randy... you make me laugh so much....:) Love your videos!
Yes, and here is the explanation of why lol. Great video Randy, agree 100% that's the best course for that car, it's already cooked why not make it well done before it goes to hell.
Q
"TOASTY!" As TK would say 🤣
😅🤣🤣😂👍💯
Also a plugged up catalytic converter would cause overheating and it would cause it to run crappier and crappier the Longview drive it and you would burn up the engine that way to.
I had one of these and it had a clogged cat twice before I sold it
a clogged cat makes your cat run like shit on the highway but rarely do they overheat if your cooling system works. i drove around with a clogged cat for days with no overheating
Wrong thirty-five years of experiences tells me so.
@@williamwilson9407 you’ve been alive longer than 35 years and can’t spell simple words, so taking your advice would be a waste of time
That's a voice response on the phone but you probably wouldn't know that because you haven't been around that long.
Sometimes you just have to laugh and fine humor in life in whether it’s cars or just life. Laughing is like a medicine to your soul .
Wow who would ever thought it would go up to 321 degrees. I agree with you the car is finished.🤪 sorry the car ended your winning streak. In my opinion you make good choices. 😀❤🔥
321 OK. Now new engine and a new battery or simply the car is done then again one toasty Malibu with a hybrid system that don't work.
You always said never buy sight unseen, now you have a paperweight. Great parts car though. Junkyard will give you $400 maybe $500 since it’s a hybrid. Recoup some of your losses.
Well for him it’s not really a loss, he’s making a lot of money from this videos, and normally junk cars videos bring more views
That damn thing sounded like a diesel by the time you got to your place 🤣
It has a blown headgasket to because it takes long to get it running
Would love to see you fix the back bumper on the freightliner, put your logo on it, and drive it around from time to time.
Yeah usually when it's bubbling like that that means the head gaskets gone so under pressure is getting into the cooling system
I had one of those as a rental car back when it was almost brand new. It was really nice. The government, and whoever else, got some miles out of that one.
I did too!
It was a salvageable car. Heavy foot, and carelessness killed it.
“I didn’t know they made them” man, I swear. I have a 2011 4CYL still going strong. 💪🏾
Had a 2008 Cobalt, I am by no means a Chevy fan but that was one of the best cars I've ever owned. 10 years and 150k, minimal issues (under $150 in parts in 10 years excluding oil changes and etc). But the transmission started to lose OD so I traded it in haha.
Mine lasted 197,000 miles.
@@organrick mine currently has 156,564 miles. Got it when it first came out.
@@johnl3230 I honestly never had any problems with it except for my blower motor resistor. Other than that, regular maintenance kept it going to this day.
@@stereo98the 2.2 still ran like a clock. Glad you had gl with yours!
The chevy that broke Randy! His laughter towards the end was really painful.
Overheating when it's full tells me the thermostat is stuck...
This would be a great car for Uncle Rich! To make a hybrid into an all electric car!
Just imagine Leenda lying all over it trying to make it look sexy, haha
I would keep the box truck and use it to move to your new place.
Hey randy you should get an adapter that goes on the front of you truck that has like padding so when one of these cars breaks down Jessica can just push you out of the way on the the emergency lane or you can just put a tire but idk 🙂
Why not just have Jessica pull the trailer as she follows him along. That way he gets the “will it make it” content and could load it on the trailer if hit breaks down to get home.
I thought he had one or two trailers. He needs at least one. That would have saved the day here
A hybrid with over 200,000 miles is impressive
Hell a Chevy with over 200,000 miles is impressive 😂
priuses get over 200k all the time…chevys? another story
The cooling system probably never got bled, it had an air pocket. That is why it took so long to get hot
When you opened the coolant tank it left the air out
Well one bad one out of all the good buys ain’t bad. This Malibu is just a Paper Weight I think. 😎👍🇨🇦
You probably already know this, but for most hybrid vehicles, if the hybrid system fails, you can’t just drive on the gasoline engine because of the way the systems are integrated. One problem is what you experienced, when you stop the vehicle, the engine shuts off because the system presumes the hybrid battery will take over. Also, because you are likely not the first to overheat the vehicle, it probably has a bad head gasket by this point.
This is one you can really do some rebuilding on. Hopefully, it will bring you some good viewer numbers and you will come out okay on the purchase.
Sounds like a water pump problem, it's a heck of a job on those engins
Esp the ones people abuse so much before you start in on fixing it
@@jack002tuber right ? someone beat the shit out of this in a short period of time considering it was perfectly maintained by the government before .
From everything I saw so far, I would lean towards thermostat. At the point where you pulled off the road near the fence, I would have called a tow and saved the engine because even if it needed a head gasket, still cheaper than blowing the engine and having a useless pile of junk because it seemed to run really good when it ran. JMO. Hope you can maybe fix this or at least get your money back out of it in scrap or parts. Good luck Randy.
I’m sorry Randy but these are your most entertaining videos when they give you trouble 😂
Poor Malibu fighting as hard as she can to run! Clearly the last owner wasn’t the regular maintenance type…
TY as always Randy and Jessica.
The hybrid battery might be worth some good money to the right person
Randy sounded like a madman laughing, that part was awesome 😂. I’d take the battery and sell the car to a junkyard, so you can get probably more money back, someone else doesn’t get stuck with it and you get to keep a new battery.
Randy's absolutely evil laugh compilation:

I loved when u dumped the water on the engine and said that should cool it down. 😂.
Really enjoyed the video Randy!! Loved seeing you have fun destroying that car! LOL
I remember looking at a new 09 Vue hybrid with the same engine/hybrid, there was no real reason to buy one as the hybrid system seemed to do nothing other than the stop/start, fuel mileage was nearly the same yet it cost thousands of dollars more. No wonder GM went bankrupt wasting their time on something this useless
they went bankrupt because they build crap...nothing lasts
@@baldisaerodynamic9692 This car has almost 300K on it. It lasted.
One reason they also went bankrupt was due to the crap Roger Smith started in the 80’s.
@@baldisaerodynamic9692 Obama bailed them out and they somehow built worse shit than before, at least the pre-09 GM’s looked okay and Pontiac still existed
@I B and we know nothing about its history, or maybe this one just happened to last. GM vehicles are trash tho.
Try taking the plastic cover off the motor and that might help you out
that motor is gone a little 1/2 inch plastic cover is not going to help in the slightest.
It helped me
You don't have heat, and it is more than likely overheating because of a bad thermostat. That is a super easy part to replace, and controls the flow of the radiators fluid once it has warmed up. They get stuck, and stop the free flow of the radiators fluid through the entire system.
No it’s one of the more difficult parts to replace on any ecotec
We learned today to also to stay away from hybrids.
I agree with everyone that laugh!
Lovely back yard with the water and bridge but if your paying $2500 a month and the landlords are doing questionable things on the property I agree it's time to go.
Hellcat is nice but loud in the neighborhood. Neighbors daughter had one and it rattled the windows on everyone's house. She moved on to a Jeep Cherokee.
Keep the Ram and that nice trailer.
My little ‘05 boxy Malibu just hit 200k miles on its 2.2L Ecotec 4 cylinder engine. Just retired it as my daily driver with a ‘21 Malibu LT 1.5L Ecotec. I hope to clear 200k with it too.
I always liked the way those Malibus looked, wouldve been a great deal if ran good.
I like those Malibus too... Much better looking than the ones that came after (2011 I think?). And the 2.4 is usually a good engine. I have almost that many miles on a Chevy Cobalt with the 2.4 and can't even imagine it having these kind of problems.
Yeah I admit they are good looking cars I’d daily drive it when it’s working it seems like a comfortable fun car to drive
That engine rattle noise is because its so hot it starts to diesel, the fuel ignites itself
Who else noticed the Monte Carlo that looks like the one he sent to auction
It was his monte I bought it. And met him before picking up this car.
@@richardbeckett5580 congrats that seemed like it was gonna be a great car
It will eventually need the engine replaced. Got a cam bearing going bad.
@@richardbeckett5580 that sucks
@@richardbeckett5580 you should try to find a supercharged 3800 to put in it.
I was impressed with your clever decision to keep that FedEx truck to do the moving and save the hustle and the money renting one.
But knowing you now over many years, I believe that you will take a smart decision as always and in this case I assume that you would hire someone to do the moving work for you and it is a good decision also because your time worth more than couple hundred dollars and giving somebody a chance to make a living too.
I love your Videos and specially the encouraging ones and the credit cards Video is very motivating and I used what your father told you to give my depressed GF some hope and positivity but sadly you removed it.
He'll also make about 5K selling it. Win-win.
@@jack002tuber I wish too but in an Auction who knows what would happened
Lol , i love seeing Randy having some fun 🤣😂🔥
You can do a video on how much you can make by parting it out. The title will be “can you buy a junk car from insurance auction and still make money by partying it out?”
I so much enjoyed this one! You can only get so many good ones before you get a dud. But the duds make for more laughs, more suspense, more drama, all that. TH-cam gold! Damn GM to end your streak! LMFAO!
It's really $860 + $150 for tires, + $300 for cleaning = it's really $1,700 + repairs. BUT ... This was a great drive home. IO could feel your concern trying to beat the inevitable! Best drive home EVER!
"turn green, turn green"
... so my engine doesn't terminally overheat in a busy intersection.
- --> me trying to make it to a calc test back in the day.
very suspensful.
You have an AIR block in your cooling.
What can i say its a GM, air in cooling, blown head gasget, Randy remember 7 series BMW, you alway good for a giggle
I'd like to see another video attempting to fix everything on that car
Highly doubt that, he doesn't REBUILD anything anymore, he just buys them and sends them to another action.
That video was great fun! Thanks for being such a good sport! That's why I'll keep watching.
You should do one of these a month Randy that was good content I stayed for the whole video.
Yeah same here. It was fun to watch!
you have to change the cylinder head gasket and make a groove.
Listening to this guy talk like he knows what he’s talking about is hilarious
He’s been doing this for years I’m pretty sure he knows what he’s talking about 🤙🏻
When running the Chevy engine cold the engine does not seem to knock like a leaking head. You should let the engine cool down and then check to see if bubbles are seen in the cooling overflow tank to confirm a leaking head gasket.
May sound awful but that was AWESOME
Afternoon Randy Lee Shear Of Auto Auction Rebuilds
That was definitely a fun video lol. And I agree that motor was on its way out from the start
Maybe now’s a perfect time to drive the Chevy to the Levy and hope the Levy ain’t dry, Have to put it out of its misery somehow so it doesn’t torture another poor sod.
Now time to paint it hot pink! The hot pink Malibu of doom!
Did I just watch a episode of Whistlin Diesel ????
What’s next Randy??? Running the Hell Cat off a bridge ??? Ouch-just kiddin.
Willfully tearing something up is hard to watch for us working guys.
Buy hey, I’ll still tune in for the next car crash 😆
You’re the man and love the channel
or maybe it's not the head gasket, but a faulty thermostat
I mean for a 2009 Malibu 800 bucks sounds good fix it up somewhat to make it run a little better
Old joke was, "You have a good battery. Maybe you should push a car under it."
anytime i’m having a down day i come back and watch some of my fav old videos from you lol!! always great videos Randy.
When is the wedding? You’ve had a fiancé for way too long. 🤷🏻♀️
So the next time Jessica says “I don’t think it’s a good idea” are you going to listen! 😂 Probably not!! 😂
Probably a water pump or thermostat.
Before you send it down the road, get a value on the catalytic converter. Sometimes they're worth more than the car itself, especially being a hybrid. The Prius converter is worth $2000 in Texas.
Randy pulling a WhistlinDiesel 🤣
I did notice the blend door isn't clicking. That is the only GM thing it doesn't have.
Damn We don't get gm cars in Pakistan but dang that thing wants to blow up.
I am so laughing My ass off. Mr if they took the battery... Now you're considering and probably did pull the battery.
I think you broke your own winning streak on this one! Bad choice. You didn't follow your own rules on this one. Your fiancé was right. Great parts car. Should have used the hauler to take it home when you where on the side of the road. You destroyed the engine by continuing to drive it.
That was the whole point of this video
@@AutoAuctionRebuilds some people will never understand it was fun!
Its great to see you getting beaters again. They are always good for a laugh!!!
I could agree more. I have rewatched this video many times when I needed a good fun laugh especially since I faced a medical emergency a couple months back and this video succeeds in that 100%, yes it sucks that he got a dud but it sure made got great content people WILL come back and rewatch just to relive the fun of this episode.
I’m impressed that this car made it that long! I guess this one is a do as I say not as I do. I had a thought about the Freight Liner , why not put the engine and transmission in the old GMC? Kinda like a retro mod.
Could just set the GMC cab right down on the freightliner chassis and have a complete modern drivetrain, would make a hell of a car hauler.
The gmc isn’t legal that’s why he didn’t do anything to it
@@braden6402 there's ways to fix the title issues, especially on a truck that old
I’m not sure how people get their custom vehicles registered from bits and pieces of other vehicles but I think it would be the same way if you combined these two vehicles and then Randy would be able to do something with the old body of the GMC instead of it just sitting there gathering rust. Yes it would be cool to get it going with all the original parts but that has been unsuccessful in getting the title done. So maybe it would make it possible to come up with one very cool vehicle out of the two? I would certainly love to have an old looking truck with modern guts! That might be a cool name for the truck? “Modern Guts”! I also think Randy is up to the challenge! If he’s interested?
Well Randy, time to show us your mechanical skiills.. But in a motor and eat the cost. LOL
Those end loaders do a LOT of damage, ALL THE TIME!!!! WTF??? COPART!!!!
Yeah I had a 2003 Nissan Altima and I was trying to take my dad to work and it died right on the green light and It was still rolling but I had to pull into the dollar tree parking lot but some people got out of their car and came to help me out and pushed me in the parking lot big shout out to them thanks so much God bless your a lifesaver
Your blockage is because you did not bleed the cooling system when you added the water therefore you will overheat the engine and destroy the the motor.
Air in the system is bad.
It sounds like an old pickup truck trying to start that's carbureted 😂
Electric cars what a joke
It's not electric
@@tony_25or6to4 should of said half electric
P.S. - I forgot to mention - after the nuking, you got the rings SO hot that they lost their temper. With today's low tension piston rings, they are likely so warped that they'll never seal again. If the car cools completely, it MIGHT start one more time, but expect to smoke your neighbors out of the bunker, HAHAHAAH!
The Malibu just needs new tires and a new used engine. And a good cleaning.
And it would not be worth the cost!
😁👍
Did you bleed the cooling system after you added the water otherwise you'll cause an AIR block in the engine in the water will not circulate and you will burn the engine up by overheating it.
I have a 2009 Malibu LS with 211,760 miles & it drives great since I bought it a year ago.
What the hell is the use of frying this engine that way?? It could be a good commuter car, but needs some work on it.. really hammering on t, really makes no sense.. havent been this disappointed in a long while
I thought you were gonna hold on to the FedEx truck to help you move?
Randy the streak is over bud. You had a good run. Brush your shoulders off and start a new good streak again!!!
No heat because you have an AIR block in your cooling system the water did not circulate in the motor therefore it overheats there's two bleeders on that vehicle it can't have any heat because the water's not even circulating to the heater core because of the air block.
Headgasket and head bolts probably around $50. You can reheat the head and make it flat again by using the head bolts by blocking each end of the head and tighten the head bolts in the middle to push the head down to take out the warpage.
@@gauravsrao8887 He could do the job in a day. It's not that hard to replace the headgasket. True it might not be profitable.
How many hours labor?
@@CR7659 8 hours labor
@@SawmillerSmith You can probably do an engine R&R in that time.
@@CR7659 I agree .
You should have the AC or the defroster on to see if the electric fan kicks in that way you will not destroy the motor by overheating it.
