I Won a 1999 Dodge Ram From Copart for $1000 - Parked 6 Years!! Run and Drive? 

Makes great content, besides thats what you expect when you buy a vehicle from a *SALVAGE AUCTION*

I like these year Rams. It was a good buy at what he got it for. He could easily flip it for 5,000 with the stalling and brake issues sorted.

Yeah he's lucky that back brake did not burst into flames because with the heat and that brake fluid being highly flammable it could of been real bad I know people who had that happen to them the brake fluid got on the hot brakes burst into flames and by the time the fire trucks come the cars were gone up in flames but I'm sure he will learn one day but he's real lucky it did not happen with that truck.

I'm a mechanic I love these trucks let me know if you need any advice or help I just completely restored my 01 ram(almost completely restored)

It's your alternator

Dam ill have to start sending them there i find them all the time where u located do they go for good prices

@@subarulegacy4203 On the west coast. Clean 2wd single cab short beds with V8s? These trucks didn't sell well when new, but they make great show trucks now which is why they are sought after by truck enthusiasts.

Yes that’s like a 5k truck here in California.

Well I've got a 99 sport, 318 5 speed maybe I should sell it then

@@kennethkoontz5036 That truck would sell for a pretty penny

Stay far away from those cheap glue on covers. They will bust all of the mounting tabs that support the bezel, radio, and headlight switch. I learned that the hard way when I had to replace the heater core on my '97. I had to fiberglass repair all of the damage that cover caused. Just bite the bullet and buy the Mopar replacement for $300 and it's done right.

@@AngryCatMan1982 I guess it depends on which one you go with. I bought the Coverlay brand one for my Cavalier that had this issue and it looked and performed great. No warping, didn’t interfere with my buttons or knobs, or airbag. Sometimes you get what you pay for.

$505.00 fees on a $1000.00 truck? That's downright predatory.

Whenever there is a demand for something, the price finds a way to go up. A lot of people have found out about these auctions and due to this, the days of finding cheap and serviceable vehicles are over. Since these auctions are no longer best kept secrets, you're literally just using a different flavor of Ebay Motors.

It's amazing how far he's come since then!

I saw one once passing me in the parking lot of a local Value Village and it was beautiful it was probably a 2500 but close enough big and long and it had the V10 Magnum

Maybe but the thing he wants to do to it how do you make a profit he does this all the time

@@joenewman6939 he makes his money from the channel not profit on the cars

Than he's not a dealer

@@KN-bw6gu doesn't make sense to me

Randy has a wholesale dealer license

My 2000 is a 5.2 stick 230k miles still runs great

8 hours? What mechanic did you go to? I just replaced the heater core on my 2000 durango, took maybe 4 hours. It did take me a little longer because I replaced all of the actuators as well as the evaporator core but still.

@@w829l5 That's what is listed in the billing book. Yeah you can do it faster and so can any good mechanic. But that's not how most shops operate.

@@PhaQ2 yeah, I know some shops will kinda split away from a project for a quicker one especially when parts are being ordered but my point just stands that it shouldn't be more then a 4hr job.

@@w829l5 I can appreciate what you're saying. When the core exploded in my 99 Durango, I was quoted 8 hours labor from two shops. I bought the core and did the work myself. It took half the time quoted, and I struggled with the box mount that attached the trans dipstick. Didn't know about it and raged, breaking the plastic. But completed the job in an afternoon.

They deliver pizza..why drive a 14mpg truck to get that? And he can get parts delivered on a commercial account.

If that was near mint, it's a 10k truck all day. But you're right, if she's running right, 6k easy.

Thank you Joe!
