- I had looked at a Range Rover and passed on it after the sellers story didn't match the carfax I ran on it. Months later the seller called me and asked if I was still in the market for an Suv. I had already bought two but of course I said yes haha. She said she had a 2007 Infiniti QX56 and to come get it for 1,000 before she lists it on FB marketplace. I said I'm in! We hung up and I googled what the heck a Qx56 was haha. So not having to involve Jen on any purchases I decided to ride an E bike through the woods to cut the miles to the QX in half. Then stuff it in the back and drive the QX home.

I bought a Nissan Armada brand new in 2005. Had it for 10 years and 150k. It crisscrossed the US as our travel vehicle during the kids travel ball days. Changed a fuel pump at one point, only issue we ever had. One of the best vehicles we’ve ever owned. Just didn’t need something that big after the kids were all out of college.
Things a beast love it. I fixed so many transmissions by doing what you just did.
My father had an 04 Nissan "Pathfinder" Armada LE TA60, same vehicle pretty much, just yours has the so-called luxury package. Reverse sensors, motorized trunk open/close, they later knocked out the Pathfinder name. He bought it in december of 2003 between two snow squalls. The reason he got it? the blizzard of 2003 at the beginning of the year in February. his souped up Dodge Durango couldn't keep up in 4WD hauling an entire family plus trailer of snowmobiles to and from the Catskills from NJ. What he really wanted was the snow capacity, but he bought it right in the middle of the two snow storms so he could go in and see for himself what the anti-skid stuff would do and he was so impressed he bought it on the spot plus trade in of his Durango.
This body style between the Armada, Titan and others including the QX56 was made from 2003 until 2015. so depending on what model year you have, 2003 to 2013 should be your golden area year for parts if you need any. There was a refresh-facelift in 2008 a bit but it wasn't much, and so far as I know, many, MANY parts between the Armada, Titan (the pickup of the Armada) and QX56 all should interchange with each other. So far as I know, this should be good for up to 9000lbs of towing capacity, but MAKE SURE YOU PUT IT IN TOW MODE. this I can't stress enough. if you don't have a tow mode button, get it. the connector for it should still be behind the center dash cluster bottom left by your right leg.
Trans and diff fluids are the first things I do on a new-to-me vehicle. They seem to always be the most neglected maintenance items.
lesson learned on that Corey
Great video glad you posted keep them coming thanks
thank you Donnie
Nice review and hopefully the truck isn't full of problems. Enjoying your content. Thanks for posting. Take care
still driving it , thank you for kind words
Great buy. Looks like you may have filmed this earlier last year. I feel like I’ve seen this car in later videos. Thanks for the great content. That bike ride was awesome. God Bless
thank you, yes I got it last spring and never released it . Thank you Mark
Same with me..I'm a WEBLO for life. But nice E-bike looks like a comfy seat. I'll check them out.
Great video, bike and suv😃👌
you realize how fast 28mph is when your on an ebike
very true, no helmet down a hill at 28 mph you start questioning how well you assembled that front wheel 😆
Love the ebike Jay! , thinking of buying one, that seems like an awesome deal for the QX, looks solid, If anything you got a great family vehicle👍🤘
thank you, the pedal assist is pretty cool...the QX has been on a few out of state rescues, 2 family vacas, to Unadilla MX, and all the way to the Canadian border...
Beautifull double rainbow!
Nice future project for u to get ur teeth into good luck with it hope to see pt 2 soon
12:17 disconnect the trans coolant lines, and pump out 3 quarts. Add three quarts .
Shampoo-rinse-repeat. Until you go through 3 gallons.
If you just drain and change the filter. There is fluid in the cooling circuit, valve body and torque converter.
Terrific deal you got there.
I’m too cheap for that , I’m driving it right now and I’ll drive it until it stops lol
Part 2 . The arrest, interrogation and conviction of a Wildman prancing around the woods on an ebike. 🤣
prancing haha
I use my 6 gallon Harbor Freight oil extractor to remove the transmission fluid from the pan before I drop it and what a clean difference that makes.
Excellent video Jason :) to get that vechile check out also rapping sounds like exhaust and why dash flickers to plus check codes for Check Engine Soon because H02 on manifold or O2 sensors by Catylic Converters need replacement be cause too! Hopefully hear more about too!
thank you Andrew, I hope it is just the exhaust . I have a new scanner tool to use and didn't even think about the engine light until you mentioned it! Thank you
I don't know how you find them, Here in the UK old cars prices have sky rocketed there isn't anything you can buy that runs for under £2500. I used to love buying the cheapies and running them into the ground .Not any more. Great vid thanks J
Depends were you are Harry, i Bought a 2001 Golf V5 just before xmas with 10 months mot for £1,400 from mid Wales. Up to now fault free :)
Wow $1000 is a deal. Looks like that was back in the summer as I know it’s been a mild winter in CT but not that mild. I grew up in Shelton and lived in Naugatuck. Currently in FL but moving back in the spring.
Cool ride! You are going to have some things it needs. Got to make sure that ride doesn't strand you. Could be a great tow vehicle, also family adventure vehicle too. I thought you had a lift in your shop. Hope you made it okay to Mustie1's place.
Hi , yes I’ve had it since last spring . Trailered many cars with it , and couple family vacas and yes , to M1’s for that Ghia :)
One major flaw on those 5.4 V8’s…. They don’t have exhaust manifolds they are molded into the heads… problem is the cats bolt on to the heads.. when the cats go bad, the little bits tend to get sucked into the combustion chambers at the end of the exhaust stroke before the valve closes and wrecks the cylinder… you can apparently buy a “filter” that goes between the cat and head to help prevent this.
It runs, that makes a change 😁 Looks pretty decent, a few niggles but nothing you’ll not be able to sort.
👍👌👏 Seems like a great purchase and was pretty inexpensive too. Definitely better than the rodent and mold infested old silver Nissan. I'm eagerly looking forward to watch the video about you visiting Mustie1. By the way: Haven't seen Josh in a while. I miss this cool kid.
Best regards, luck and especially health to all of you.
Probably a safer bet than the Range Rover, the early ones were fine but the modern ones are awful things, utter money pits.
Dear @@Roger-hq1yt
Yes, so it seems. Actually I trust any Japanese car more than any fancy overpriced English car (even if mostly German technology is used = VW/BMW). Nowadays unfortunately nearly all existing cars (since round about 1995) have a ton of electronics/computer stuff on board and a lot of plastic (even intake manifolds)! All that's what is causing more and more trouble. To have less costs because of better fuel efficiency doesn't help at all if you have to invest even more money in repairs etc.. Obviously some North American truck drivers go back to use old style trucks without computers because they are sick and tired of having breakdowns and that they aren't able to help themselves.
Best regards, luck and health in particular.
Love the bike and the SUV. Greetings
thank you Salvador
Afternoon mate
Looks like a thousand well spent.

Great video mate
For the money Jason nice buy 👍
thank you Coco
I bought one new in 2005. I still have it. Has 160k on it . The dash gauges had to be rebuilt. One thing that happens when the car gets older, is the cold start may have an open exhaust sound. After warm up the noise goes away. Sound caused by broken exhaust header bolts on the heads……
that gauge non sense is such BS, I have to say this interior quality is junk on this thing or Cujo was living in it.
Start Checking the grounds. My guess bad connection on the ground.
14:46 exhaust inside broken loose or heat shield.? You changed the frequency by lowering or raising the RPM shifting it? Maybe.
QX56 _320_ HP Baby !
yes! nice torque too, great engine...just need to fix the rear air shocks and do the front brakes now
Hey for a thousand dollars I'd say you're way ahead of the game, some basic maintenance and send the cluster to flagship one or if you're lucky clean up the connector and off to the races
Wow that was a great price you paid. A little work on it and it will be ready to go!
👍
Fancy!! I would drive that tanker I suppose!!
it is a tank :)
Great ride. Gas pig, but I'm sure a great long distance cruiser. I think a steal for 1k.
Not anymore than the Nissan frontier truck I just picked up or my Tundra…maybe a little less around town but the 320 HP and near 400 lbs of torque make up for that 👍
Good video. But I am really confused by the subject split between your 2 channels 🤷🏼♂️
thank you....me too, no idea
I need one of those bikes
come get this one
Great deal... You would never get that kind of deal in the midwest.
so far it was, has some quicks but i've driven the heck out of it for months already
For a VW guy you sure are picking up a lot of Nissan vehicles! What's next? A 510?
haha, i have ties with Nissans...my hs and early college GF's Dad owned a Nissan dealership...my family also had a few
no 510's anytime soon
not a bad bike
Disregard if you know, but jump pack may have a small black button on the side of the plug that you have to push in so it'll jump a battery that's below 11v or so. Override deal
Might have been user error as that little jump pack would jump my 914 when two large ones would not
These QX can last forever
👍
Amazing deal hell I paid 2000 for my 1998 tahoe 2 years ago
thank you, i've had it since last spring and driven it all over New England
Those jumper packs are too smart for there own good. If the car batt is 100% dead most go into fault and will not jump. There is a way to override on them, usually holding two buttons down for a few seconds or something. Look online for your model and I bet you’ll find the trick.
I thought about getting one of these as a basis for a frame swap for a Dodge Ramcharger.
nice drivetrain
Next video , one handing it with the RM 250 on that trail !
That would be a quick fail haha …
@@5150mxVW Nah, I have faith in you !
nice purchase! What was the original sticker price?
Lucky purchase , I don’t know , …google …58k
Hmmm, dash lights off and on, low tire pressure and check engine light on, no tach and no oil change. Yeah, I'd drive it hundreds of miles and tow cars. What could go wrong, eh? A plus is the backup camera works so no worries Jason. A thousand bucks and you got a cruiser.
I got it last spring and since I driven that thing to the Canadian border to get the 62 Beetle, and on 7 other Vw rescues.... 2 family vacas, Josh to the Unadilla Mx national, and up see M1 in Nh....I did the front brakes yesterday and the back up camera is no longer working😆
@@5150mxVW 👍😁
I've been looking to get an ebike for months and finally settled on one. Unfortunately the laws in the UK limit all the fun and by limit I mean remove completely. But there's loopholes 😄.
really? wow
@@5150mxVW yeah, we're only allowed 250w motor and zero throttle. They're pedal assist only up to 15.5mph which is around 25kmh. So pointless really, or maybe I just want to go faster lol. Don't see the point in paying for an ebike if it can't keep up with traffic. Anyway I've got one on order so will see how it goes. I feel like they're going to take over tbh.
Nice 👌that’s a brand new car to me 😂
Yeah, we’re driving around in a rotted out 06 minivan with a quarter million miles on it……
me too, all my other cars are over 20 years old , cheap taxes...it was like 700 bucks to register this 1,000 car due to taxes off Nada ....
7:15 you finally see the truck
nice.
She's running 😀
👍
Kool
What a bargain!
👍
That sound was from your kid clothes pinning your Reggie Jackson Rookie baseball card to the fan shroud
haha, that would of been my Don Mattingly
Nice but J! That thing will give you 100k more I’m sure.
👍
When Did you do this, Last Spring? Seems grass is looking Green and Leaves coming out on the Tree's, Does not look like New England Winter Weather to me.
yes, last spring .
I have a 2006 q56 20 7000 miles when I got it one 87,000 haven’t had any problems
I’m still driving it but it has 3 codes , goes into limp mode
Wow I have no code at all I will get a 2010 I love this cars
@@gilbertstraube9937 yes , get the non digital dash , 2010 is sweet
I have the same one nothing but problems
Score one for the lady in the jumper cables
👍👍
Nothing like a 1000 car that you can use.
😁
Beware, the 5.6 is notorious for burning through Catalytic converters $4K+ to replace and timing chain issues, 5K+ in repair costs. I have a 2013 QX56. It's a love/hate thing.
i think your 13' cost a tad more than my $1,000 dollar 2007 :). I've had it since last spring and taken it on 2 family vacas, rescued numerous cars with it, driven it to the Unadilla Mx national and all the way to Canada. So if it has an issue it doesn't owe me anything :)
@@5150mxVW Can't ask for more than that. I love my QX56, and I bought it used with 112K on it, but it did cost me 4K in the replacement of bad Cats. I didn't get OEM parts, but went aftermarket. I did learn about that issue with the 5.6 AFTER I had purchased the truck. Still love it, and I'll drive it till the wheels fall off of it.
Yeah there comfortable but scary to Drive I love my bucket looks good but sick of replacing parts😢💩
still driving the heck out it ....figure when i dies i'll just leave the title on the dash and the keys in it lol
Sounds like a fan rattling
What , No mice in the glove box ?
nope ! just Cujo living in it for a few months haha
Those clusters are junk, I changed mine with a Nissan Titan gadget cluster and never had an issue after that
oh the Titan is different ( it works ) , I'll check it out thank you for the tip
Clock spring?? 🤷♂️🤷♂️
Bring back dirt bikes
soon, I'm going to be riding again ....
How long you been hanging on to that video?
i bought it last spring and have used it on a few rescues and vacas
@@5150mxVW hey did you see the VW powered tractor on marketplace? In Massachusetts I texted musti1 the add he said it was pretty sketchy built.
haha, yes, he was selling it last year. I passed on it and sent it to M1 last year.
Cool tank for $1,000
indeed :)
What happened to Jen? Did she finally quit?! Hope not.
no
1000. Wow. How do you sniff that stuff out? So you have this giant SUV and a Cabrio for under 5 k
she called me :)
@@5150mxVW Lucky
I just did the brakes on it so it's back on the road....lucky i passed pn the range rover she had :)
@@5150mxVW Awesome. I love your content.
Transmission Filter
👍
I need a complet Dashboard any help ?
ebay has them , you can send yours in and they fix it ...last i looked a new oem on online was like 300? I think 2008 they went to gauges and non digital
@@5150mxVW thank you so much , but I look on eBay I only find the ac vent and the middle part . And I’m in Africa. And eBay don’t ship to Africa that’s my problem. I really need to change my dashboard, I love my Qx56 so much
@@orvillehughes4365 i love mine too and my dash almost never works
Around 17 minutes I'm sure your T shirt says "Ass Pro Shops". Maybe an ass to buy that with the optional on/off dash lights and electricity saving tacho ? Seriously, I hope it works for you, I suspect as a workhorse.
Haha, that was the first time I had a key in that thing . I went earlier with an air tank to fill the flat front tire . I didn’t have any pics either . The interior looks like Cujo lived in it for a while but for a grand I thought why not? It’s been a good trailer / rescue vehicle and we’ve taken it on a couple vacas 👍
There's no way in hell a stranger sold this to you for $1,000. I've been looking at $10,000 ones that are rusty, interior trim pieces broken, scratched up, etc. I mean, why $1,000. Might as well have sold it for $50.
true story .... I looked at her range rover and the story didn't quite add up when i ran the car fax. She. called me months later and was moving to Texas and had a QX56 to sell...asked if I was still looking for an Suv. i said yes and she told me to bring her 1,000 before she puts it on marketplace. I said ok and i'll come by and had to google what a QX56 even was haha. I drove it all over New England on various rescues and family trips . It would later go into limp mode due to a speed sensor , it happened mostly when towing . I recently sold it for like 1400 as i found another one for around 2500. These are VERY cheap everywhere ....2004-2007 models anyway
🙂👍
thanks Will
@@5150mxVW I bought a used 2004 suv for a thousand dollars that started out at $3800 dollars it was 30.000 new. And was a Florida vehicle with hundred and two thousand miles on the clock it has leather and all the goodies but just spotless no rust at all.And all the service records. Those are hard to find in the northeast.A friend of mine drove from Vermont all the way to Ohio to buy a 2002 truck with low miles rust free and well maintained for $16000.00 a new one was over 50000 crazy.
Give you 1200
that would be more than i usually make when i pass a car on :)
Dang, that poor transmission. People really just don't have any idea how to maintain a vehicle sometimes lol (not you I mean p/o)
Probably could use a "flush", I take the return hose from my trans cooler/radiator off, turn vehicle on, let it pump 2-3 quarts, stop, refill said amount of atf, and then repeat.
Infinity ? Is that a Korean brand ?
Nissan
It’s Nissan’s luxury brand. Kinda like Honda has Acura…..
@@notajp kinda like Lexus Toyota :)
Score
😁
Park-pawl worn away.
That thing will NEVER go anywhere near 60 miles! Not even half of that, especially throttle only at 28mph. 5-8 miles TOPS. 99% of ebike numbers are just fantasy. Lowest setting of peddle assist topping out at 10-12mph might get you 1/2 of the claimed range.
I think i put 30 miles on it ...josh put most ripping around the yard on it ....60 miles is a haul lol
@@5150mxVW Do you know what the watt hours of the battery is? Or, do you know the voltage and amperage rating?
It looks to be no bigger than 350watt hours.
Unfortunately, they ALL lie about the range. Technically, the range is unlimited because you can always just pedal.
The only thing that improve this abomination is fire 🔥 🤣
I guess im the only one that thinks $1k is too much for this.
yep, you are !
I’m in the process of buying a used one and she is asking for 4,000
Bull krap u paid $1K for it. Clickbait.
lol, i don't do clickbait bull$hit , just look at my thumbnails jackwagon....she called me , I. had looked at her range rover for sale months earlier. She asked if i was still looking for an suv , i said yes. She said she had a QX56 for sale, give me a grand before i list it on fb marketplace ( she was moving and hates dealing fb M idiots ) . i didn't even know what a qx56 was so. i asked a few more questions while i googled it. I was pleasantly surprised and she wasn't far away so I checked it out. not everyone on here is fake joe
Prove it, or shut up.
