That freestar is legit the old angry grandpa van
lol
Jelephant 😂😂
Jelephant omg I was just watching that!
Jelephant I wonder if it was his old one I remember the prank Michael did with the coconut fake blood and hair and made agp think he hit someone while drunk 😂
Jelephant yep
My dad owned one of these until about 3 years ago when he bought a caravan, since he had it for most of my life, i was crying when he sold his ol' freestar named esmerelda.
I didn't have mine for long but really hated to see it go because it was the perfect vehicle for a big, tall, and disabled person. A bunch of stuff went wrong at once so I scrapped it. Whoever gets that engine will get a good one.
I did not know the nissan was running until he opened the hood
Yeah those Quests run reaaaal quiet 🙂
Sounds like a Tesla
1:50 that's usually how I fix problems with my electronics
Samuel J. Well... It did make it stop clicking haha
Have you used a CD player before ? They all do that when you turn them on it was just a coincidence it stoped when you hit it
+Jay Smart mbnm!
Jay Smart I thought it was kinda funny when you beat up the CD player abd it lined up with the "ding, ding, ding" of the minivan.
"Percussive" maintenance
Love junkyard starts.
TheRed58Fury1 you and me both!
Jay Smart DJ Khaled playing in the van
@@MXguy95 and you and me and him
Come on Jay, don't cheap out---$20 on trans fluid might make you $800 of easy money. Remember the old saying "It takes money to make money". I definitely want to see a part 2 on this.
Even better they own a junkyard. Go drain one and test for free.
2006: Ford recommends BP gas!
2010: Oops...
2021: bp’s barely in business
I've bought these with 120,000 on them and out other 200,000 with normal maintenance then sold them to someone else and they drove them for awhile . Oh yeah with out check engine lights . 3.0 Ford where the work horse of Ford for years . Of course if you don't keep any car up they will all fall apart . Great videos bud keep it up .
I have a 99 ford windstar SEL with no rust. Original engine and trans (im at 160,000) have had no issues whatsoever yet but I keep up my maintenance. I rebuilt the front end on it last year, new front subframe, control arms, sway bar links, etc. about 2,000 with labor. Any car will go the distance if you maintain and drive it properly.
I think my mom's Windstar was a 99 SEL as well. It had leather seats and automatic sliding doors, but it also had the POS 3.0 V6. Take one of those vans and put an Ecoboost in it, and you've got one badass van.
Transmission likely isn't dead. These vans had torque converter failure problems. Look up the VIN on NHTSAs website. It might be under recall for a free replacement.
I rely on carcomplaints.com for recalls
Thanks for that info about his van because I have a Freestar 2007 in the transmission just stopped
That agp old van that money u got there dude
We had 2 Windstars, one was a 95 and the other was an 01. Both were great, the 95 had almost 200k on it when a tree crushed it in an ice storm. The 01 had the transmission fail and at the time we couldn't afford to fix it so we just used the 03 Taurus for about 5 years as our only vehicle. Honestly I think these are good vans but you have to keep up on the maintenance, especially the transmission.
I had an 06 freestar..used it as a livery. This can was a deep burgundy with charcoal grey leather. Captains chairs dual DVD climate control. All the bells and whistles. It was a gorgeous looking minivan I got a lot of compliments on it. Bought it with 200k one owner I had it in service for 5 years and retired it with 403k
"Does it run? Yes. What is better? The Nissan Quest." Lol
I was a poet and didn't know it .
I've got a 2007 Freestar that I LOVE. I prefer THAT.
true dat
It's a 2006 and it's at a junk yard wow I just saw one at a dealership going for 7.000$
Our one is still working amazing!
@@antoniojmonetti even for that milage, it is still a scam
The Freestar replaced the Windstar and Freestars had models 2004-2007
Not a bad vehicle and always nice to see all of the new ignition parts which means someone was trying to fix something and didn't have a clue
I have a 2006 with 315k and am trying to keep it alive. Thanks for the videos.
The irony is my girl just bought a nissan quest. and neither are running at the moment. But I have high hopes.
The new jay smart phrase: Oh wow
i really like that instrument cluster on the freestar
This van similarly looks like angry grandpa's, Same state, same color, dirty interior. if it reeks of cigarettes it sure is AGP's
I got one of these for free from my parents who didn't want it anymore. I've put a decent amount of work into it and it's great for what we use it for.
I love my 2004 ford freestar. Its strong. Comfortablem and dependable. Jus keep up with maintanenece
Hard to belive that the same company that made this minivan also makes the 2017 Explorer and Edge. My has Ford come a long way!!
Had a freestar. Loved it.
When you got it to start I screamed it's ALIVE lol
That joker runs like a sewing machine!!!! Awwwwwesome!!!
1:01 and on the floor, I got my big ass jug of gas 😂😂 best remake ever
Remake from what?
1:56 Your neighbor be like when your playing music to loud in an apartment
That's the best vecicle I've seen U with yet.
I have 360,000 km on mine and it's the best vehicle I've ever owned in my life all you have to do is the torque converter and put a transmission cooler on the front and change your fluids every 2 years in the transmission. Change your oil often these motors are bulletproof and will last forever if you just keep up on the regular maintenance. I brought my babies home in my van and they will be learning to drive in it soon
...hey Jay...love your 'regulation' gas container...4:16...heh heh heh
Well the Windstars and Freestars were great looking minivans inside and out. It just sucks that they were so unreliable. I've always preferred the Windstar over the Freestar.
we had an original wind star put over 300k before we scraped her. now admittedly every major thing that could go wrong in it went wrong about 3 times XD.
Hugh Mungus Damn, that sucks but at least you got over 300K on it.
Aerostar #1
Big Jon 220 I prefer the Aerostar lol
Big Jon 220 Yeah me too
You are really entertaining 👏👏👏👍👍👍
Hello from Sweden 🇸🇪.
I ❤️🇺🇸 American cars 👍👍👍
I had one of these a for a long time. Ran amazing and never let me down. Regular matinence goes along way. I would recommend this can to anyone. Definately getting another one myself also. GREAT vans!
Nice. I hope you get a scrapped Odyssey to start up!
Aw come on! That song was amazing!
I love how the wood stove just so happened to be there
It's just like the Angry Grandpa's van!
Easy on that 200k engine now come on man. These vans fell apart by 60k so this one is a trooper
Someone must've babied it
I've never seen a Windstar or a Freestar in "decent" shape LOL. Maybe because its newer? I never see a newer ish one.
Windstar's and Freestar's were both trash. I'm glad you agree.
I have one at 102k still drives and shifts like new and a/c is like a meat freezer, take care of your shit and it takes care of you
The torque converter was a factory recall, had the same issue but had it replaced and it moved again just fine!
Love how old cars let you push the limiter all you want
The E-brake light was lit on the dash did you try the release lever?
HAHA BEN SNATCHER... my brother bought a ranger from there back in the 90's.. now jim hudson done took over EVERYTHING
such a nice junkyard you got there. i could spend hours on one if i were allowed to mess with the cars but here you arent. and they take the battery out.
You dogged on the Freestar yet it had a running motor 4.2 v6 can actually tow something. You admitted you put maitenatnce into the Quest. If you did the same with the Freestar you have a better van, its a 4.2 v6
Miss the junkyard days
I own a 2005 Freestar SEL. It's not a bad car once you figure out the quirks and boy does that car have them. One the major issues with this car is they put the computer and coil right under the windshield. As the rubber ages, that tends to leak and will eventually cause all sorts of problems like with the transmission, abs, and engine of course. Water and electricity simply don't mix. So I had to replace my computer, coil and of course keys at a 110k. But I didn't just replace these items for this known problem. I sealed up every opening along the cowl and used tin foil over the coils and created a shield for the computer and computer harness. Every few years I take off the cowl cover and check the seals out to make sure it's still ok. The only other major trouble I had was with the alternator, ball joints and tie rods. Oddly something rattles when it's on an incline. Otherwise it's been a very reliable. But, I also can see why Ford doesn't make minivans anymore. My 2010 Chrysler town and country is easier and cheaper to work on. Rides better to boot. But that 4.2l V6 while truly gutless just doesn't seem to die (fingers crossed of course!)
This is going to make you laugh, but early era Nissan Quest vans were made by mercury motor company.
Joseph Linz I knew that lol
DustinStarts Roasting RBLX crazy right?
you mean ,,the other way around,,,Nissan made it for Mercury,,,Mercury copied every from Ford
@@peteypon2974 Nope. Ford made the van, but it has a Nissan engine and Trans. Ford insisted on one thing while they made them. They insisted that Nissan redesign the 3.0 liter engine so that it is a clearance engine. If the timing belt breaks, the valves won't hit the pistons, as they will in the regular Nissan engine. Ford built the van for Nissan rebadged as a Nissan Quest. Ford marketed the van through their Mercury division.
The windstar and freestar could go fast my sister had one and it went fast
The chiming sounds like the Ford Five Hundred back in the day.
Built ford tough!!!
How much for the $ ford van were u guy's location at...?
Nazareth is not garbage. Good music
Carl Pedersen FINALLY someone who gets it!
Did you add trans oil, did it move? Can you put a link?
Ford has a recall on freestars. Torque converter. They suck the gas ⛽️ but the ride is comfortable. They had transmission failures
Good cars
1:08 Your accent is awesome😂😂
It'll be interesting when you get the transmission fluid, i'm interested if it's sell-able or not. It looks sell-able. Just got to wait and see.
North Omaha Dashcam I'm not so sure I'm going to try and put fluid in it. I know you guys would like to see it. But it's ready for processing
Schon239 N.O.D cgbnkm bc kl
every ford freestar trans goes out
My girlfriend and I had one of those a couple years ago. The reason why they got rid of it is because of the faulty transmission and it. Apparently there was a huge recall on those over the years.
Did u check the emergency brake ? If the emergency brake is on it will not move .
It's a sign! It runs it runs. Lol
Was the trans shift cable connected? Fell off on my sisters old Taurus lol
He towed an automatic car.. There you go, he blew the trans.
Ive towed a few autos, but normally rear wheel drive and i drop the drive shaft.
Since i wanted to tow a Ford Mondeo MK2 (Contour MK2 in the US) to my home (crashed car, airbags deployed) the car won't let me. It is an AL4DE Aut. Trans, FWD. - Drove it up on a trailer and brought it home. But for 125€ "~$150" with new technical inspection (recommended in germany every 2 years) and a lot of electric features.. Full Automatic sunroof, 4x electric windows. heated seats and so on.. getting it road-ready again and maybe get some contour parts of the US, making the face look like a Contour. Lol.
My first Mondeo MK2 is a Ghia 24V Duratec 2.5 V6 with manual trans. pretty rare in that trim. Got everything you could choose when buying it. 6x electric leather seats, heated, Ford RNS2 + CD Changer (Navigation System) headlight washers
Sweet thing.. Love it Want a Contour Badge so bad for it haha
Lol automatic transmissions truly do suck if they just break from a bit of towing
Bullshit you can Tow in neutral
@@michaelmooreloveless2138 You sure can just make sure you keep it at Least 30kmh the whole way 😉
Eject error. Another 2000s Ford with a buggered up factory fit CD player. It's a shame as they were pretty decent stereos but the CD drawer mechanism is just not strong enough. At least mine broke as it finished ejecting a CD, usually they give up when you try to eject it and you either have to sacrifice a CD or pull the unit to pieces to get it out. Oddly the multi player units seem to be a bit better than the single disc units, but only slightly. That's why so many Ford products have replacement stereos or no stereo at all in them...
gosportjamie I just didn't want to hear it continue to click. Hence why i punched it. That always worked for our explorer.
Can confirm, my 2003 expedition's 6CD changer is fuuuuuucked
Fords are not the only vehicles with problematic 6 disc changers. The CD player broke in our 2005 Sequoia, so RIP to my Kelly Clarkson and John Rich discs. The single disc player in my 03 F350 broke just before the engine blew, but at least it let me take the disc out, otherwise I would've lost George Strait as well. I'm not sure my sister has quite forgiven me of that. My friend's 05 Honda Odyssey's CD changer broke as well, but at least it also had the DVD player. Maybe that's why the 6 disc changers went out of fassion after circa 2007.
Our 2000s ford cd player still works
Didn't Fords come with Pioneer starios?
*probably will move if it had fluid in it but i wonder if the fluid just dried up with it sitting there or if there may not be a leak either in the seals where the drive shafts plug into the trans or on the pan or something if neither of those places look like there are leaks there then check the engine oil to make sure it's all actual oil and doesn't also smell like trans fluid then if all is good try a couple quarts of some cheap type F fluid and see if it moves still*
I have a 2003 Windstar. The transmission cooler lines rust out going across the front frame and the fluid leaks out. It's a common problem. I replaced mine with high tech fuel line and it's been fine since.
My grandpa has a free star limited same year half as many miles but the trans finally went out for the last time to get to the trans the first time he told me he had too drop the front end and it is more of a pain to do then our 99 dodge caravan
If AAMCO (my local one at least) rebuilds the trans, it will run forever trans went out 3 times like that and had trans fluid all over everything the third time. Then we cut our losses with the ford dealer and took a crappy run down hay hauler to Aamco.... the back had hay in it when we bought it.
The big question is though, does the Nissan Quest have cool AC like the Ford Freestar?
What's the difference between the Ford Freestar and the Ford Windstar?
I was thinking the same thing. See more of the Windstars When I see them lol.
Windstar was first generation FWD minivan based on the Taurus/Sable. Windstar then renamed Freestar mid-cycle was second generation FWD minivan on it's own platform.
Same vehicle new name. Not sure the real reason. The v6 is a little bigger, the transmission is different also. My 2000 windstar has the 3.8l v6 and doesn't have the recall problem on the trans that the early to mid 2000. freestars did. The transmission can get water into it somehow if the recall kit isn't installed.
The fact that they both are a piece of crap
Sold a 2003 windstar with over 300,000 miles and I still see it on the road.. rusted but running LOL.
You said you have a snapchat in a older vid whats your username?
I just traded in a 2001 Windstar, similar van, on a new Hyundai. Engine had suddenly lost compression on 2 out of 6 cylinders. Van had other issues and it was time for a new car!
Also if there's no transmission fluid. It won't shift or go into gear
Hi Jay, do you have any Freestar Parts? I need the back hatch square handle and a windshield bracket where the wipers sit on I forgot what the name if that thing was called the little plastic bracket type thing.. Let me know if you will please!
Most bps has been mostly been bought out by Conoco Phillips
How does the radio sound "cool garbage"
- jay smart
How can leave a 2006 Van With a good quantity of optionals in a junkyard?
If someone have a bit of time and passion, he can bring it back like it was brand new
The transmission is probably fine. It's the torque converter that fails on these. Factory recall. Get a new one for free. Then you have a perfectly good van. That is assuming the coolant didn't leak into the trans and the owner ignored it till it failed.
@@survivor030406 It was out of oil.
There are many Ford's less than even 10 years old on the junkyard but Ive seen many old Toyota Corona still running with almost a million miles...
Bullshit.
So...was the van scrapped? It looked pretty nice. Did you crush it? Just break it to us! Lol
Ford's 6 disk players from the early 2000s broke more than they worked 😂😂
Agreed. You should never put a cd you valued in that thing for sure haha
And that thing is an early 2010s model of CD changer
hello, where do i get these junkyard cars to buy?
Come on Freestar I'm got faith in you my father had a 2004 SES model, in Merlot red it ran like a wet dream, btw I personally named her "Katherine" I loved Katherine until I saw her being sent to the scrap heap when I got home from school one day in 2012 😭😭😭
This one was garbage.
Jay Smart oh anyways do you still have any of the Nissan vans
Cool
My favourite car ever
I am so sorry
Jay Smart shame on you man this was one of my favorite Ford products why just why I could of use one of these as either a work van or a errand van, on a lighter note, if you find anymore of these, please preserve it I need a "Katherine" as a work van at least
Lol that type of ford radio does that when the battery is disconnected or dead it was setting up the 6 CD changer.
I sure need tons of parts
@jaysmart the mini van is reving to 3100rpm. There got to be a problem with the transmission or it so how has 2 step
Ford set the rev limiter low in park and neutral
Jay... the CD changer does that when the battery dies...
Can you save this car from the junkyard?
If I'm not mistaken the 4.2 was the f150 v6?
Rusty Shackleford yes!
If only theyd kept the 300 i6 and put it in more things over the years. Now that was a good engine. I knew someone who as a test drained the oil out of one drove it 2000km put oil back in and it still runs to this day.
it nice
"Let's see what the radio sounds like, garbage! Cool!" Me tho
That radio does that everytime you open the door for a minute. You are hitting something that has nothing wrong with it
Don't beat on the motor the torque converter is gone. It's a recall issue that they have the shaft on the torque converter shears off everything else works fine except you're not getting power transfer to the wheels. By the way your Ford dealer will replace this for free
Angry grandpas old van
just like i was thinking
if it's like many fords I'm sure the fluid you put in it would have just been spit right back out in less than a few minutes..
On almost all the Fords you need to buckle up if you want to go! Try to put seatbelt!
Is it just my iPad or is it his camera
Of course the Quest runs good, it’s a Nissan!!
Do you still have the Ford Freestar van?
Those jumpers are wrong. That's how you toast the ECM. You need to connect the negative side to the dead cars frame ground. Any frame support under the hood that isn't isolated by a soft bushing.
