Video descriptions:
0:00 Intro
0:04 One of the worst radiators I've ever seen still inside a truck
0:17 Mechanic bought a cheap F-150 to fix up for a tow rig and knew things were going to be bad just not this bad
0:32 Insane that you can see they drove it like this at least for a little while
0:46 At least this one wasn't being held in by duct tape
1:07 Customer must've had their music up loud to ignore this knocking
1:18 Customer came in for oil change stated they paid a shop $2000 to lower their car
1:46 Customer stated they just need a tire patch
1:59 Another reason why it pays to keep up with maintenance not just the engine alone
2:08 Honestly this one takes the cake for grossest vehicle repair we've seen
2:38 Bet the customer wasn't expecting this bill
2:55 2020 Cadillac Customer didn’t want any repairs done at this time and drove away
3:21 Has to be the factory installed filter
3:29 Popcorn machine on wheels
3:38 Got to love it when customers come in with muddy cars
3:50 Well that would sure do it
3:58 Chevy Avalanche was making noise under the hood and found the water pump like this
4:10 Driveshaft bolt was sitting unthreaded behind wheel trim along a bunch of other loose bolts
4:17 Parts quality really has gone down hill
4:26 That is one worn out CV
4:34 I'd love to see what it looked like right from the factory
5:09 Customer states did someone slash my tire
5:12 Customer was told this was $9,000 worth of damage
5:35 Bet she won't let him live this one down for a while
5:41 Customer states engines shaking a lot obvious misfire from the arc/bad plug ignition wire/spark jumping
5:46 Either way that's an expensive fix
6:02 The customer said it was only a 'slight' concern
6:16 Not ideal for when you get hit by a surprise rain shower
6:29 Customer states there’s a knocking when turning
6:42 Guess the fuel rail decided to give up
6:49 Customer states their car is aggressively pulling to the right
6:58 Not what you expect to find on a brand new truck
7:08 Customer states their car has been getting warm
7:13 Just a slight knock in the front
7:29 Just some exhaust packing that was coming out
7:36 Unfortunately no context to this clip but that's one bad leak
7:50 Likely just a vacuum leak
7:58 Really wonder what would cause a usually reliable engine to do this
8:07 Uncle Rodney is knocking
8:25 Customer unfortunately had a heater core hose leak
8:32 I don't even know how this would happen
8:45 PCV valve replacement time
9:02 Looks to be either a radiator leak
9:14 When you thought it was a loose oil filter but it's worse
9:18 Such a common issue on these old Dodges
9:29 Just a little bit of extra play
9:45 Got to hate when you do everything right but there's still an issue
9:57 Not quite what you want to see when on the highway
10:12 Customer states why does my car make bird chirping noises?
10:24 How could the other shop think this was a good enough repair
10:30 Nope I would not be driving on that
10:40 Customer states my car seems to get a bit hot
10:50 Just a bad misfire and after that the smoke and engine shake should be gone
11:06 As always get those PPI
11:23 And you can see the RTV didn't even fix the leak
11:29 Customer just did a clutch and now it does this
11:35 1999 Express Camper van with quite a few issues
11:56 Bit of an odd oil leak onto the alternator
12:02 Outro
