Auto Auction Rebuilds scrap the vw
Nd I like u videos keep it up I like what u do so I can kearn.
That truck is absolutely worth your investment. Gas prices are down, Americans love trucks. Primewells are great tires too for the money.
Hey man!!! Great seeing you here brother!!
I'm always here my man. Notification squad!
In all honesty if I was you. I would fix it properly, use it for the content and keep the truck for myself. You love the red truck and you can definitely use it for your business. So I say fix it and keep it
It's the same model as our ranch truck, and we've spent $$$ on the front suspension. I feel that our reliable truck was worth it.
Well said. Red Hat Enterprise Linux software developers have been rebuilding gearboxes for pickup trucks for years. They also make a nifty suspension kit that fits most desktop gaming PCs.
Atra Hasis 😂😂😂
Never had A problem with Primewell tires. Use them all the time. Primewell tires been around since 1951...are made by the Giti Company which is headquartered in Singapore and operates the majority of its manufacturing in Shanghai, China. Yea they all have had some issues tries cracking...but who remembers Firestone years back? K-Boom!!
I remember that!!
We used to distribute Giti tires thru our distribution company. They had a second set of headquarters in California. Primewells were our top sellers.
Anytime a tire salesman mentions that a certain tire is their best seller, all I can think of is highest commission or cheapest price. Rarely, if ever, does that tire rank highly in Consumer Reports.
Randy here in northern Cali this truck sell for $5,200 all day even with the salvage title then again you need a truck drive it untilthe cows come home.Booyah
Randy good job on the red Ford pickup on the east coast that truck would go for 5500$ easy
That truck's worth way more than 2500 all day long. . . so I think you did good!
That Red truck is awesome. Great deal for your investment. You done a great job on the front end. HD truck and VW need to be sold. Put that Corvette in the garage. Great job on your videos. Love watching you.
I would just unbolt the steering wheel and put it back on straight 😁
Only reason not to is because it only goes on one way.
@@paulsanderson6790 so it's "keyed"? - TBH I haven't taken off a steering wheel in about a decade (to replace it with a nicer one). Since Randy mentioned that the pitman arm could be re-mounted at around 45degrees based on how it's keyed that's the best fix anyhow. For $200 alignment it would have been nice if they would have done that too - I'm sure they'd still make money off of him (if not on that visit on a follow on one).
Should be splined.
Nice video a friend of mine just bought a flood vehicle from Copart in Baltimore Maryland it was a 2018 GMC Sierra 4 x 4 SLT and out the door it was about 5 grand now that was a real good deal the truck ran and drove all he had to do is minor maintenance there's no water in the motor there was some water on the floor but very minimal a good detailing and the trucks on the road
That was a fricken steal!
Randy, can I give you a suggestion on the Jetta? That has the VR6 engine. Tuners will kill themselves, or somebody else, to get that engine. For what you have in that car, you can sell it for the engine and computer for somebody to put it in a Golf or something else. If you run it through Copart again, you won't get anything for it. Also if you look at another one, make sure it is a stick. Those automatic transmission were garbage from when they were new.
Nothing wrong whatsoever with Primewell tires! I bought my 2004 Ford Expedition 16 months ago and it had 4 different tires on it of various conditions. I replaced them all with a brand new set of the same tires you got, except mine aren't the ATs, they're the street version. Totally quiet, they wear well and a year later they still look almost new. So many tires these days have inflated price tags. In my experience, I'd put the Primewells up against those Firestones any day!
Trucks do hold alot of value. Had a 05 total in a accident. I was thinking 3K . The insurance wrote up a check for $8,500. I was like wow for old truck 13 years old
That truck was a helluva deal! No rust, no Christmas tree dash, working 4x4, good bed and tailgate. That truck would pull 5k all day in the upper midwest!
Hang on to it that thing is a gem.
Btw these F150s do use torsion bars on the front suspension and are integral to the alignment.
Supercrew bed is 1ft shorter than super cab...that's what the Harley is.
My f150 is a massive pit and I'd kill for your supercrew! Wish I had found it before you did
Please part out that Jetta
Down South too...👍
Looks like a Good honest truck .
I enjoyed the whole rebuilt thanks Randy.
DUDE are you kidding who wouldn't think you stole that thing. Totally worth it!
I've had a set of those Primewells on my 4x4 pickup for the last four years and have zero complaints. They are a decent mud and snow tire and I have had every type of tire from expensive to these and for the money they are good to go.
Here is how you get it fixed. Take it back to Firestone and tell them. They have to set the steering wheel straight and fix it , then adjust the toe-in individually for either front wheel. Done.
Wolfgang Weber was surprises they didn’t do it, all alignment places do t that way
Actually!
For what Firestone charged for the alignment, which is usually $30.00, they should have done the job correctly, the whole job.
If the pitman arm isn't centered correctly it will have more steering lock on one side
@@Toby_the_Glen Which also means the steering box isn't centred when driving straight and the power steering will be 'pulling' on that one side. Just plain wrong IMHO.
My dad's 1983 Ford F-150 4x4 used to have big, fat and loud tires and like you, I actually didn't mind the sound at all.
Great job on this, and yeah its well worth every penny
Another day, another project. Randy is the man.
That jetta should dissapear in a blink of an eye when you put for sale.That VR6 engine is like gold to the eyes of VW enthusiasts.This engine is sooo good.By the way love your content and keep them videos coming.
You got a Great deal. Nice truck. Love it. Just like anything else you have to take care of it and it will take care of you. Finish the upgrades on it and enjoy.
As far as the red truck, if you break even, you still got some great content out of it. Sure, I say worth it.
Definitely a good deal. I'm from Michigan and trucks sell fast and hold there value REALLY well. A truck like that would sell for double what you have invested. Typically the rule of thumb is if it is a 4x4 and runs and drives its atleast $2000, you throw in the fact it has about 150k on it and it's not rotted out equals value. Keep up the good work👍
It's worth what you have in it and a little more and it will still be worth it. Good job on doing it right.
I'd send the VW back thru the auction.
Great Video.. Well Done Randy..
Thanks for another great video
Can't wait to see the result!
The Ford is a HOME RUN!~!!
So glad your keeping the red one.
Excellent deal on your red Ford! Keep up the great videos.
Thanks Owen!
Great deal as it sits now. Rims, whatever else you want to do, only adds to the deal.
Yes, you have a great deal on the red supercrew. Awesome job. Will be looking forward to, hopefully, an opportunity to purchase the HD.
Congrats on your new Ford. Good deal.
Worth yes no doubt about it the truck drives good and looks nice 👍
I'm suscribed to you, Mike and the wrap guy 😍
I think it was a great deal Randy ... You did a great job on the suspension rebuild ... keep up the great work ... I love both trucks , but I like the Harley truck more lol .
Great deal so far! I think that it’s a nice looking truck! Sell the Harley and keep the red F150. Good videos!
Thank you Joanne.
You're way ahead of the game you did good
Awesome man u are absolutely right I live in ga we love our trucks they are expensive awesome deal
Nicely done
That truck is real nice and being 4x4 waaay better
I agree 100% the red F150 is definitely worth the investment that you have put into it Randy.
That's a good truck. Was worth the investment 100%.
Thanks Randy from the UK i'm looking forward to your Harley truck and your 350 Happy 2019
Awesome video.
Well worth the money boss, good deal.
KEEP this one Randy as your hauler!👍 (unless you get a GOOD truck like a GM/Chev!😂)
I'm from south Texas and that truck is easily $5k all day long! Even if it wasn't 4x4 it would still be around $5k but the fact that it is makes that much more special. Bad ass man! Can't wait to see the new wheels 👍
Thanks man!
$2500s a great deal!! As a Firestone employee, I must say, the Primewell Valera's are a very good tire (even the passenger car tires). We install a ton of them, and they hold up very well.
Nice update 😀
Great return on your investment. It looks really good, not perfect, but really good.
That thing is mint! That’s a very good deal! Wish it were mine though.
Absolutely worth it. I live in PA. And you can't get a good truck for less than $3000.
What a beautiful truck randy
That truck does not owe a dime. A great deal.
Michael is doing well, I visit his site almost daily.
Here in California, that same truck would go for about 5500-6k all day long. People give them crap, but they’re reliable as all get out.
Randy I'm here in OKC as well and I agree with you. $2500 for that truck with new tires and suspension and no other known issues plus working 4WD. That truck is a keeper ALL DAY LONG. you need to hold on to that one.
Thank you James. I plan to hold on to this one so long as no big issues arise in the near future.
Keep the Red Truck!! 2500 for a 4x4!? That's a freaking steal! You just got yourself a damn good parts truck and get a new clear coat of paint and smack that auto auction rebuild logo on it and you got yourself a damn fine rig! Great job Randy as always great content!
You did good don't worry about the other people
Randy, impressed and delighted by the successful project. It looks awesome. Also, back in the old days, you could unscrew the steering wheel itself from the base, and turn it one or two notches as necessary. I suppose today the airbag might impede doing it, check out that possibility.
keep it, great truck, well worth it brother.
You did not go bad on that Truck Randy that is a nice Truck considering it's year model & yes around here in Arkansas a Truck like that will sell for about the same as there in Oklahoma they are hot here too I send you a KUDOS & a BIG THUMBS UP to the deal on the TRUCK
That VW is my bread and butter. I deliver pizzas for a living and would love to have a car like that. Something I could get real cheap and put a little work in myself and have a decent car for delivering that's a win!
You really did great on that truck Randy. Might be the one you think about keeping. I've always had good luck with you pull it steering boxes. Around here the entire steering column down to and including the box can be had for around $150 or less.
You're right about trucks being worth more. I've got a 2002 Dodge Ram 1500 long bed truck. Paid 4500 for it. Loving it.
That is a great deal that is a keeper red ford.
Unbolt your steering shaft from the steering gearbox turn it counter clock wise a few teeth bolt back up
Might be keyed
Is that the intermediate shaft? Those are not keyed in that year fords, Randy just disconnect, center steering wheel and reinstall, done.
Hey Randy personally I really think you should get the truck wrapped instead of the Corvette. I mean if you think about it Auto Auction Rebuild it makes since, the truck is a salvage auction rebuild that you literally rebuilt the front suspension on and has a salvage title. Get some new wheels possibly get a dual exhaust and get wrapped. This is just my personal opinion that I'm putting out. But other that this truck was worth it, I know in my area this truck will go for about 6 grand and thats in good condition.
Hmmmm. Good point!
great Job!
The red truck is an awesome truck!
Love it , great deal
Thank you.
Truck here in Michigan is worth at least twice or more than you have in it. Great work and videos.
hat a wonderful deal good job
Why are you opting to pay extra for 'lifetime' alignments and balancing/rotation when you probably won't have this truck 6 months?
Was wondering the same...🤔
If he sells it he’ll have better leverage on the buyer to purchase the truck plus if the tires hold up before he sells it
@@D4x4Bronc It's good if he sells it and what's wrong with buying new tires lol
he's keeping the truck. He said in a previous video that he's selling the Harley Davidson, and keeping the red truck
@@D4x4Bronc ok
Worth it
$2,500 is a very good deal I bet it's probably worth at least 3,800-4,500 with 4wheel drive and low mileage not to mention the work you have already done to it
Yes definitely a great deal! Especially in Oklahoma! Anywhere it’s a great deal.
Totally worth $2500.
Since the clear coat is peeling, don't bother with rims. Just fix the steering wheel alignment and use it as a parts and tow vehicle. Get yourself a trailer or rent one at Uhaul when you need it.
Cut your loses on the VW.
I agree and. I respect you
Great deal
You said comment below about our opinion on the $2,500 deal. I'll make a comparison. My primary towing vehicle, a 1993 K3500, I paid $3,100 total including the truck, fees, towing, repairs, and tires. And my truck looks like something from a pick-a-part salvage yard. The cab corners are gone from rust, the exhaust is gone (because of rust) from the downpipe down, and the interior is a mix of dirt and rust. Also there's no front bumper. The exterior paint is a mix of rust and rattle can paint. I still love it because it's a 4X4 full ton.
Nice tires. I don't know about the Coparts in OK, but some of the ones I've been to in Texas turns to swamp after rain. Some people have gotten stuck. The parking lots are usually paved, but not the loading area.
I did good on my 1993 3500 dually then. Went right out and hauled cars with it for $800. It's rusted to hell, the battery held up with bungee cords, but it has done the job. The frame is a little punky in the back or I'd go through it, would probably need a whole front clip and core support.
@@CR7659, My pappy used to say, "It doesn't have to look pretty, it just has to work". Sounds like yours fits the bill perfectly!
I like the cheap all terrain tires just fine, but I might have looked into going a bit bigger that'll still fit on those rims. It might throw the speedo off a tad, but that can be recalibrated, I think. I put oversized General Grabber all terrains on my Dakota and they look great. Not too noisy at all. Actually quiet on the interstate.
U sold me on those tires. I want a set for my Volvo cross country. Lol.
Its a keeper
As long as the tires get the job done looks nice too
I have used Primewell brand tires several times with good results.
New rims and a little clear coat/paint correction and you have a $4000 truck!..or keep it for a parts runner and your still ahead, can always be sold anytime eventually!
be 5k around here
In Buffalo 6-7k. Most trucks that age have rot that will make it dangerous to drive.
Easy 5k the way it sits in ok right now. Trucks are stupid expensive in Oklahoma
@@smartinvesting813 you boys gotta remember it has a dirty title, and crappy paint..
The title is honestly not a horrible thing here in OK. Some people will be turned away by it but it will still bring good money in this market
Great deal on the truck
Here's the deal 97 through 03 down where I'm at go for a 2500 to 5000. You're lucky to find anything less than 2500 that's worth a darn
Remove the steering wheel and reposition it so it centered? I do not know of many places where you could have bought a truck with new tires, all new front suspension, and no leaks for $2,500.
I would rather change front suspension than replace a heater core. I have replaced Hester core before where you had to pull the dash.
Why does he have to replace the heater core?
@@ratj4715 thank you, i never saw that, just saw the jetta with the bad heater core
Price well worth it.. Just put the right parts in, and you have a nice truck you can use for yrs to come.
You doing okay man keep up
for the red truck, I would keep the same rims but put a gloss black paint job on them. Then put a fresh paint job on it because the clear coat is pealing. Put a red head gear box on it. Then fix the steering wheel 45 degree angle. That's everything.
nice job, it well be worth the investment to get steering wheel fixed and a nice maco paint job and you an awesome parts truck runner
Thats an awesome deal in ok. You could easily sell it right now for double what you have in it.
I got my 01 King ranch f150 for 1265 after fees from tulsa. Best deal on a truck ive seen.
Copart did us both right on these
