0:00 Intro
0:05 The engine blew up because it was most likely spinning at 12000 - 15000 RPM. An easy way to explain this. I believe the Toyota Corolla redlines at around 6500 RPM. So if the vehicle was in 1st gear, and they were towing it behind their RV on the highway at 70 mph (112 km/h), that engine must have been spinning really fast since it was in first gear. An engine in a Toyota Corolla is definitely not made to spin that quickly lol. Probably didn't take long for it to blow out some inspection holes out of the block and oil pan.
0:25 Well it looks like this vehicle just got t-boned so I'm surprised it's in for an alignment. Usually, you'd have a body shop inspect your vehicle after an accident, not get a shop to do an alignment. But not sure about the full story, unfortunately.
0:35 Mechanic said: "Customer come in with a list of complaints and ask for an alignment".
0:44 If you have a bad wheel bearing, don't keep driving. This was a Ford Ranger (didn't get the year, but it's an older one from the looks of it).
The customer approved the repairs for all new parts on this Ranger, from what I was told.
0:56 Well this is unfortunate for the customer. Hopefully the tow truck company will pay for the damage. Take a look at how bent the inner and outer tie rod ends are. Ouch!
1:22 Diesel in a gasoline vehicle is not as bad as gasoline in a diesel vehicle. You never want to put gas in a diesel vehicle. Luckily this customer should be good to go once the diesel/gas fuel is used up.
1:39 Diesel in a washer fluid reservoir. Now that's a first.
1:46 I wasn't told the issue with this steering wheel but the mechanic said he just replaced the hydraulic power steering rack (so maybe he got some lines switched around?).
2:01 Some squirrels are going to be pissed off after loosing their winter stash. I'm surprised this drove in lol.
2:18 A very very rusty lower control arm on this 2005 Nissan Pathfinder caused it to be pretty bouncy on the drivers side rear. Customer is lucky that did not break on them while they were driving.
2:42 Gross lol.
2:48 I think I can smell the photos, wow. Seen a vehicle this bad before?
3:02 Outro. Thanks for watching!

For the 1st clip, how fast do you think the engine was spinning in 1st gear?

[katdeville]

What a goof! Everyone knows that the diesel goes in the blinker fluid thingy.

People, if you have enough money to buy a big ole' RV, then you have enough money to buy a flatbed trailer for your towed vehicle!! NEVER EVER TOW Cars, trucks, pickups, vans, etc on their wheels. Even if you have it in neutral in can possible damage the transmission. Some vehicle manufactures place tow warnings on said vehicle that cannot be towed on wheels for more than 50 miles, some times that is collectively. Meaning you can tow said vehicle 5 times 10 miles each before damage can occur. This is why rollbacks/flatbed tow trucks are so popular. Some put them on dollies so the drive axel is off the ground, however that will only work in 2 wheel drive vehicles. Even then you have wear and tear on the tires, struts/shocks and suspension. and what happens if one of the tires is low or goes flat? bye bye, tire, rim, rotor and who knows what else before you figure it out. People, just get a proper flatbed trailer. PLEASE

Those are some consistent nail clippings. I bet the car is immaculate as far as servicing. LOL

[markpelenytschka]

I see what you did there... "And what the mechanic found was just nuts"

[dana.]

I think a generic vehicle mechanical course should be mandatory in order for people to get their driver license.

[TwinShards]

Mechanicien: So i found the problem.
Customer: So what it is?
-DEEZ NUTS! Ha got'em ; _show problem_
-Holy crap this is nut!

[billynomates]

as a brit, it never ceases to amaze me how screwy your squirrels are for walnuts - or how salty your road salt must be. every time i watch, i just think - wow!

[jagpimp]

Diesel fuel in the washer fluid, now thats some good weed.Hope your having a great week.

I worked at a rental place, and we got a van back with strawberries and bananas smeared into the carpet on the floor, the seats and shoved into the vents. It took over $1, 400 to clean the entire vehicle.

"What the mechanic found was just nuts" 🤣🤣 I totally lost it! 🤣🤣

A long time acquaintance of mine did almost the same thing with his Nissan pickup. Was going to a new job the next morning and used a towbar to tow his pickup behind his logging truck. Had it all hooked up to the logging truck and while doing so left the pickup in 1st gear as his E-brake cable was broken.
He said he didn't feel or hear anything when he left at 3 AM the next morning but told me later when he found out what he'd done that he could hear dollars rolling down the street at that point!

Well, thanks for the last few! I didn't feel like having dinner tonight anyways!

[dirgeofdementia]

Wow… I’ve written up control arms before, but it was always for the bushings being shot. I can’t say I have ever sold a control arm because the old one disintegrated.

[Dsdcain]

Just wow! You had some real *"winners"* in this vid, but I have to say even the tar/nicotine covered minivan was not as disgusting as the nail clippings pile. 🤢🤮
Also want to say congrats on the growth of your channel. It's awesome man. I found your channel in mid August and it's grown a lot since then. I hope it keeps going. Really enjoy your content and always click on the vid as soon as I can. Take it easy man.

I was in the auto glass trade for 10 years.
Some of the vehicles were so filthy, I turned them away.

[billcomerford]

I actually had an ashtray catch fire when I smoked. Thankfully I got rid of that habit. I am thirty seven years tobacco free.

[mudslinger]

I once told a lady to come get her van and clean the inside before I would work on it. She told me she was absolutely humiliated, and if I wasn't her brother she would have taken it to another shop ! 🤣

[matthewitt]

My new favorite channel! Makes me feel really smart!
