How Bad is a $740 "AS-IS" Jeep 4x4 that I Bought at the Local Auction?

50k likes in the first day and I'm flying out to help get this going.

4.7 common issue. “Lash adjusters” get hard and pop rocker arm out. Generally end up with blown head gaskets and seats dislodged.

It overheated, the valve seat dropped out as the aluminum head expanded due to heat. Typical problem with those engines. Seen it on 5.7 hemis too

Jeep: $700 Camera 1: $100 Camera 2: $50 Video on that camera: Simply priceless

Sam you should plant a lemon 🍋 tree in honor of that Ferrari.

There was a starting fluid available in the u.k. in the nineties called "start you bastard". Honestly.

Getting the Jeep running sounds interesting.

I like the gambles you take, especially when you use products I would never try. For example, you used some kind of sealer for the Range Rover with the blown head gasket. That was a really good episode with trial and error that made it fun to watch. With that said, I also like when you restore the more expensive classics. It's a tough decision and I'm glad I don't have to make it.

I like cool unique cars. Doesn’t have to be an expensive super car.

40 year body tech veteran here, I love side Hussle! Esp the kind where you score a popular car cheap and sell it big enough so you can buy an expensive car "cheap".

I like seeing the realistic cars on a daily basis but I like to see your cool side project too I think you have a perfect ratio of content right now

Ah the familiar sound of a youtuber cranking an engine with a no compression cylinder

Great to see you back Sam. I'm a UK watcher and have been for a couple of years now. I enjoy the super cars the most however, seeing the more affordable too Is a good mix. I like seeing all the different tools and how you complete a lot of these jobs yourself. Deffo looking forward to the Aston. I've driven a DB9 and a DBS on a experience day. Absolutely love them.

I’d like to see a project finished to the point of detailing the interior, cleaning the dust off the engine bay, and shining up the wheels and tires

Mix of both, pricey and cheap! What i love about you and Alex is it's very high percentage cars and less "improv" or filler

I’m not saying anything but I’m just sayin If the guy who owned that camera owned that jeep, it’s safe to say they probably never even changed the oil.

$750 4x4 $2000 4.7 engine $750 off road tires $500 2" lift $500 roof rack and some other off road equipments Total $4500 put $500 for more cool stuff Got yourself nice off road rig Total win win 🏆 Edit : oh don't forget new radiator and thermostat and hoses , the car obviously overheated at some point and it's most like the radiator fan went bad .

I would spend more time diagnosing it for the content, but definitely get the reman engine. That things mint!

New nickname for Samcrac, "Sam the Ferrari killer" Enzo is watching you from heaven and using his afterlife powers to make your living world a hell... Lmfao

Haven't finished video yet, but I have owned a few Jeeps with the Mercedes 4.7L v8. They are decent engines if you take care of them. My 99 GC Limited has the 4.7L with over 2300000 miles on it. Was very well taken care of and runs perfect. But if you neglect the 4.7L at all it will die. Regular oil changes. Don't over heat it too many times. Tune ups regularly. And it will run forever. Used engine around $1500. With good engine and all cleaned up I've seen them sell for around $5k. So you definitely got a good deal. Make for a good flip or daily driver.

Sam I think you doing it right don't focus on just one type of build. I like to mix it up one week the expensive sports cars and the next get that cheap built in I actually really like the cheap builds maybe more than the expensive builds but sometimes it's cool to see something I can't afford

I vote engine replacement and give it to someone in need 👍

We like projects you Finish. Super car or not. Expensive or cheap. Finish the job!

On the topic of what video we want to see... I start watching you videos and follow you, because of the love in cars. The process of troubleshooting and how you resolve each problem (issue) is something that I enjoy and make me aware for what to watch on my own car. On the types of cars... It is interesting to see some bigger projects like the i8, Ferrari, Lamborghini, but let's be real - none of those projects would be completed if you haven't flipped a few cheaper cars. So... I think a mixture of the two would be great - big projects with fancy and expensive cars alongside with small projects with cheap cars. Personally I would be fascinated, if I see how you modify or restore a USSR classic car.

I want the Minolta 😂❤️

The nikon camera is pretty good...

I had a 5.9 Magnum in a Durango. If I let it sit for a few weeks the ECU used to take ages to let the engine fire. Once it was going and spluttering it used to take 10 minutes driving around the block and it would then tick over and was fine from then on.

Chrysler 4.7: Iron block, aluminum heads. Overheating will blow the head gasket. Valve seats are also known to drop out of the heads as well. Keep them cool, and they are good engines!

Lift, mud tires, lockers, build a beast!

I prefer you flipping “everyday cars” since I can live my fantasy of flipping cars for beer money vicariously through these videos

Valve seat has come loose and looks like its been embedded in the head wonky, likely cracked the head hence the bubbles in the coolant. Be interesting to see the head pulled off

'Car-owna virus..' That's a good one

The Minolta in the trunk made me realize that my dad used to have one, but it broke a couple years ago and he hasn't really taken any photos ever since... Would be a nice gift ☺️

Common thing, the 4.7L dropped a valve seat. Happened on my moms 2009 4.7L Jeep GC. Get a Jasper engine. They machine the valve seat deeper and put deeper seats in. The seats are a press fit. Jasper engine comes with a 3 year warranty and they fix all the issues with the 4.7L. Also put in a high volume, high output oil pump. It will last a long time.

I vote for cheap car gambles

Just sell it to Rich, He would make a great quick video fixing it for Stepmom... Stepmom gets a new Ferrari

The anti-“Tyrrell’s Classic Workshop” 😂

Haa..!!! Put a "HeliPhant" in it, 6 inch lift, 33 in Mickey Thompson muddas, New exhaust, off roads shocks, new headers, exhaust and call it a day....

I'm a balance kind of person, why not both, it's nice to see a everyday run-of-the-mill car or truck and then a nice high-end car or truck.

More of these car gambles please. As for the Jeep, swap the engine or go Rich on us and put a Tesla electric engine in for fun!

i like both kinds of videos... no one wants to see a rich guy buying a supercar after supercar but even so they are exciting to watch

I know i'm late but the 3.7 4.7 and 5.7 have the hemi type heads and when they get older or hot they drop the valve seats out of the heads which is what was wrong with this one. That was the valve seat holding the valve open in the camera.

I’m kind of anxious to see how this turns out. My daughter found a 2001 Cherokee Laredo 4x4 on Facebook marketplace for $1000 with blown head gasket. She wanted to know if it was worth fixing and how much. I said no. Too many unknowns.

The Aston Martin in the background looks sweet ! My vote goes to both types of cars, love'em all.

The cheap easy fixes are the best because we can get content every week

looks like uncle rich's V8 powered Tesla might be running and driving before the Ferrari lol

Definitely like the cheap gambles. You have them running for the price of one Ferrari part

I prefer the smaller dollar flips. Samcrac seems savvy enough to make money that way.

Lost my sh1t! “Hello this is me under the water” 🤣

I like both types of videos, it gets boring when you just do one or the other. Keep mixing it up!

8:53 he finally goes to look at the jeep

Just send the Ferrari to Matt at Demolition Ranch and let him fix it for you.

8:04 Rooster laughs at Sam's suggestion that the ECU might be repairable. Don't mess with the rooster, he knows his stuff.

Definitely like you throwing life support on the cheaper cars where no one else have been able manage a repair

He said he changed time belt recently. So he missed correct alignment on it... Maybe you can fix it

The Sam I love. No fluff.

to answer your question at about 8 minutes, I like videos where you're wanting to have a car that you're excited to drive (preferably more than once)

I prefer the cheap ride, but both stories are entertaining. Just let the market lead you to the next project. We don't know what we really meant until you present it to us.

I like the cheap pickup/fix vids.

Reman engines are hit and miss. I’d look for a junkyard engine for $5-700

I'd rather see a cheap car gamble.

awesome camera finds! totally worth it!

Am I the only one who noticed the ratchet on the battery practically touching the positive and negative posts at 16:20 😂 lol

Much prefer your work on Ferraris’, Astons’ etc.

Nice Jeep like the affordable flips as well as the Ferrari so you choose Sam 👍

I had a 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The transmission got stuck in 1st gear on three separate occasions. I decided to get rid of it before the power train warranty expired

Sam this is how salvage yards get started you know!!

I like the gamble. It's more relatable.

Cheap Jeep every time, but also, the knowledge you impart on modern classics is cool. I think no sports cars younger than 10 years.

The old Minolta "beercan" zoom!

8:35 We like the fake Cory Chase crossovers, that's the gold. :)

I just sold my 2005 Grand Jeep Cherokee with 247k for $3200. Still ran great when sold.

Hi from Scotland - love the video 👍🏻

Yeah, you can have a blown head gasket and have perfect looking oil. Just depends on where the head gasket blows. This one sounds like it's blown from cylinder->coolant jacket.

Head bolts stretched and popped head gasket. Get the heads done with new head bolts and timing kit.

Engine overheated. Those engine drop the valve seats in the heads and they destroy the heads and the valve seats hits the top of piston and marks them up badly. New engine is best option to get her going again.

Really I like both, I want to see supercar projects and old beater restoration. It's nice to see you restoring Ferraris and in the next video put eggs and porridge into a Landrover radiator.

Just do the head job. This drop valve guides too. Pull'em do it right

20 years ago a basket case 4wd truck was worth 250.00 a wheel whether running or not or if body and frame was good or not.

I like the low priced gambles...i learn more

I had a Jeep experience the exact same symptoms , ended up that one of the rocker arms came off the valve. Remove the valve cover and take a look.

You need to figure out how to calibrate the throttle body position sensor. (infowise, that's not easy.)

I like watching the Ferrari get fixed.

At 11:00 that engine spun over like it had zero compression after it fired off and sounded like the cylinders were full of marbles. I don't understand how he then jumps to "I'm going to get a fuel pressure gage..."

Junkyard engine into the Jeep, clean it up nice, auction it. Next project 😎

I'd be happy seeing you get down to owning only 1 one car. I am trying to do that and it is impossible.

add a can of your "block sealer" you used on the Por.......

Sam I am a camera geek and I love using film style cameras it would be awesome to get that

I always wonder if it is worth the trouble with the expensive cars but still enjoy it so I lean slightly to the cheap ones.

Old value bargains over supercars everyday. More attainable and realistic for everyman.

It’s a bad head gasket and hopefully you dint have piston damage . If you don’t then you can get away with the head replacement . But probably not with the valve jumping around . Might get away with a salvage engine swap and or short local and head rebuild .

Timming chain and its hit the valves . Change the whole engine its done .

I like a little of both contents, but leaning more to the cheap gambles

The fezza is angry at you for the dodgy floor repair you done. 😆🤣

Those are cool cameras. I'd like those cameras if you still got them.

I knew you lived near me. I know that intersection where you were stoped. Cheers

I like the cheap vehicles that you can flip with a little sweat equity. I recommend that you perform a 5.7 hemi swap and raffle it off with a percentage the proceeds going to a charity of the winner choice. For $2000.00 please repower it with a 5.7l hemi, have you priced a 3.6L Pentastar motor? What about the old faithful 4.0l I-6? What are your thoughts about the 3.0l diesel?

Your assistant kinda looks like whistlindiesel with glasses 🤣

Those Chrysler V8s are notorious for crapping out. I know somebody who has a c j that had same motor Replaced three times in a period of 2 years
