Well we all can agree just when you've think you seen it all another Dodge rolls in with a surprise waiting under the hood. Whey this vehicle didn't just burn to the ground is beyond me 🤷🏽♂️ -Enjoy!

I have a 04 157,000 runs great!
Wow!
Second time watching
I just saw something similar. A friend had the transmission removed and repaired on his Hyundai. About a month later, he suddenly lost power steering due to a leak. Had it towed home, and wouldn't ya know it? The installer left the power steering lines hanging in the breeze and they rubbed / burned through on the exhaust manifold. One missing bolt for the hold down bracket caused an expensive repair.
And the owner never noticed the alt cable cooking the erg pipe…..??? Ummm where is my engine, what does an engine look like? Maybe the driving licence test could be better designed so people learn some basic engine care info at the early part of driving experience. Good diagnosis Eric.
Watch it Mr.O that light is worth more than the Dudge, oh I'm sorry Dodge. LOL
That’s why I do my own oil changes . Gives you time just to peek around a bit . Never know what you’ll find . If you use a shop for oil changes , look under your hood every once in a while .
Looks like a little bit of plasma cutting going on there!
The Dodge was trying to put itself out of it's own misery!
I remember the days when you could fix a car with a screwdriver, nail file and a tool of tape. LOL
Mobile Dodge welder, the faster you go the better it gets! 🤣
OMG, this owner is some lucky. Alot of bad things could have happened. Talk about money light..lol..alot of money.
Holy Sh t pickles! Batman!
Wow
HOLY MOLLY LADY….. Lucky that Damn thing didn't BURN itself down to nothing!
Ah yes, the old plasma cutter in the engine compartment trick. Good find! Did they get it fixed or what?
Wowza, that's a first!
I found and fixed many problems on my son's Solara related to a sloppy engine replacement (done by a prior owner). Glad that car is gone!
🤣🤣🤣
There's you're problem lady…👉
Wtffff not shortinggg????
…and there’s your dinner…
Good job this car was headed for trouble.
There's your problem lady 😂
Where do you get the throttle body yellow plug?
Yep you can't unhook the battery fast enough.
Crap man…I ain't seen that…til now!
That's why I take pictures, so I get the routing correct.
fiat should get the heck oudda dodge
Is this the South Main Auto I hear about on Neutral Drop? If so this guy is a Legend.👍
Looks like a HOT setup😂😂😂
INSANE
This reminds me of the shop that did the frame-alignment on my 99 Protegé ES 1.8L. It was a $600 low-speed collision car that didn't have the airbags deploy and didn't claim insurance so it was clean titled. I wanted to have the shop straighten the frame that was bent 4 inches to the left and have them weld on the new core support. They agreed on the condition that I let them rebuild the front end of the car completely. I told them I didn't want that, but they insisted and agreed to do everything for $400. I had already spent $400 in parts, and I didn't want them messing it up but I agreed. No other shop would even touch it. When I got it back, everything was in the wrong place. They even managed to run a power steering line under some bracketing and that was pinching it off, so I literally took everything apart and redid it the way Mazda intended. I also redid some damaged wiring (turns out something had chewed through the airbag sensor wire). So now if it wrecks again, boom-airbags. To their credit, they got it straight as an arrow and perfectly realigned. Take your hand off the wheel at 80+ and it's silky smooth. Their welds were also good, even better than the punch welds done at the factory from what I could see.
I am fortunate, i live in south Texas and dont see very many of the green wires and rust related failures. I am a tech here. I like your vids because you actually do a diagnosis, and not a guess and the parts gun. I absolutely hate the automotive faith healers. I specialize in automotive electrical and electronic diagnostics. I do engine performance and driveability, but much prefer electrical.
I think Scotty was a little cockeyed tonight.He got five cars in and out,with just hand tools though. You only got one.
money light!! love that name
WOW lol
Holly 🚬 smokes
One reason it didn't light on fire is exhaust gases aren't exactly oxygen-rich.
I have a 2008 Kia Sportage with po139, there are no vacuum leaks or exhaust leaks, the upstream o2 sensor is reading normally and the downstream reads less than .2 volts most of the time, idle, acceleration, deceleration. The waveform moves between about .02v and .2 volts, is it the o2 sensor or catalyst?
Great!…
They inadvertently made an EDM and came so close to getting all the way through.
Use your metric cresent wrench on the egr tube 🤣🤣🤣 I know u still got it
Lol good video @southmainautorepairllc
Lucky that thing didn't burn to the ground.
Thanks for the video.
I think a pound of solder and some super 88 will fix that right up. Just say'n
The moral of the story is. When your buddy says he will put your engine in if you supply the beer….that’s the first red flag! Wait until the job is done before you give him the beer…..
Dang, Thats crazy.
I think the car was trying to commit suicide because the owner doesn't care about it & hasn't cleaned the filthy inside for years!
Ah thanks for this. Our VW Sharan 1.8T 2006 is idling very high. So now I have an idea what to check for first. Very irritating.
