## Summary

A classic car seller recounts the sale of his 1973 Ford F250, which was returned by buyers after a brake failure. The video documents the financial loss, the diagnostic process, and the eventual repair, revealing a simple rusted brake line as the culprit. It also covers a separate issue with a BMW 760's transfer case.

### Key Points

- **The Sale and Refund** [00:00:01] — The seller sold a 1973 Ford F250 for $8,500, but the buyers reported brake failure and demanded a refund. He refunded the money, paid $1,500 for their shipping, and $2,000 to ship the truck back.
- **Financial Loss on Sale** [00:01:34] — The seller had paid $13,000 for the truck and spent $2,000 on it, so the sale was a $6,500 loss. He sold it at a loss to give the buyers a cushion.
- **Buyer's Reaction** [00:01:48] — The buyers were unhappy and didn't want to investigate the brake issue. They lived on a hill and couldn't drive it, so they returned it.
- **Other Refunds** [00:03:17] — The seller had to refund three cars from his last sale: the F250, a Porsche Panamera 4S, and a Range Rover, totaling a $15,000 hit.
- **Diagnosis and Repair** [00:07:43] — The brake issue was diagnosed as a rusted brake line. The repair required new lines and a flaring tool, costing a couple hundred dollars.
- **BMW 760 Transfer Case** [00:21:21] — The seller also worked on a BMW 760 with a transfer case shudder. They used BG fluid to fix it, which seemed to work.

## Transcript

And this is a really unfortunate situation because a few months ago, I sold this amazing truck, a 1973 Ford F250 camper special Ranger XLT, one of the original luxury pickup trucks, and it is a really cool rig. Unfortunately,
the buyers, they were over 1500 miles away, and when they took delivery, they pedal went to the floor. It had no brakes and they asked me to take it back, to take it on refund. But not only that, I had to take it on refund and
then pay another $3,500 because I paid for their shipping. They wanted me to do that $1,500. And then I had to pay another $2,000 to ship it back to Kansas because it was now an INOP vehicle. I sold it with working brakes. But when
working brakes, it needs to be classified as a non-running vehicle. So, I had to pay more, $2,000 to ship it back to Kansas. And this is an old truck. It has to be something simple. It wasn't something that I set out to sell.
emailed me saying this was their dream truck. They saw my video from years ago sell it. And it was during my Hoopty Salathon to pay taxes like I do every year and I sold like 10 cars and this one it wasn't on the list and I actually
because it had been sitting for a year. I hadn't moved it in a year. Needed a battery to get running and driving. And when I finally did, I brought it out. It was covered in dust. I mean just an inch of dust. I told them it hasn't been
driving video. Showed them everything was working. The AC felt a little weak. The brakes definitely worked then and then I sold it to them at a price that I thought was really good. I paid $13,000 for this truck three years ago. Spent
another $2,000 or so sorting it out and sold it to them for $8,500 bucks. So, a sold it to them for $8,500 bucks. So, a big loss on my part, like a $6,500 loss. while and wanted to give them a cushion just in case something popped up. But
when they got it, they were really unhappy with it because obviously the definitely a thing. They said they live up on a hill, so they couldn't even their house. They didn't want to put brake fluid in it and see if they could
limp it up there. And they didn't know anybody that could come and fix it. So, house. And they were pretty frustrated, which is, I guess, sort of something thinking it's working and it shows up not working. But, I did say,
this thing. A brake line, a brake hose, one of the cylinders burst, something like that, while it was being shipped. It can't be a big deal to fix." And they didn't really want to investigate it. I offered to refund the vehicle. They took
it like that. So maybe they were expecting it to be nicer. I don't know darn good shape. It's an original Survivor, mostly original paint. The original interior does show some wear, but once again, I sent them pictures of
that they watched. That's how they reached out to me on this. So I can't imagine they were disappointed as far as the condition of it. And I hope that actually pretty valuable when they are restored. So as far as a driver, uh,
this was a pretty good deal. But I didn't really ask a lot of questions. They were done and I could just tell. So I refunded the money. Asking for the then having to pay for all that shipping. But now here it is almost a
month later. It took a long time to find a truck for this and it's back. It's that last Hoopty Salathon before I opened up the Hoopty Lot, I sold 10 cars and I actually had to refund money on now three of them, which in many many
years, I probably out of a 100 cars have had to refund one in that entire run of sell things. Not so much when I buy them, but when I sell them, I want them to be good cars. And in that last run, the Porsche Panamera 4S, unfortunately,
after I sold it. The guy drove it through like a monsoon rainstorm and I guess it filled up one of the passenger wells and the ECU got wet. We couldn't find it until it was too late. So I refunded him the money, sent it to J&amp;J
Autorecking and they discovered that indeed that ECU was wet. The car was already being stripped at this point. So that nice Porsche Panameare 4S with destroyed, broken up for parts. Another one that wasn't so nice was my 1998
Range Rover. And that one when I sold it on Cars and Bids for 10 grand. from everywhere. All of a sudden, it sat the dash started leaking and there were other leaks like oil leaks that popped
money fixing leaks. So, I took it in the shorts on that one. I think I sold it Autorecking, refunded the buyer and and took a hit there. So, between those three cars, that was easily a $15,000 hit. Although, this one I did get back
and I can fix it now. And I do think it's possibly worth more than what I because I really was in a hurry. Didn't have time. And it always starts right have time. And it always starts right up.
This is a really happy truck. 390 V8. Factory air conditioning, AM radio, the Factory air conditioning, AM radio, the luxury interior. And anyway, it's it's back. So, I can drive it around this field right now, but I do
have no brakes. So, I have to plan my stops with the emergency brake, putting it in neutral and all that stuff, but it still drives just fine. So, anyway, it is it is pretty frustrating. So, now that it's back, we can see
finally what happened to it. Because when I was waiting for the shipper to bring this thing back. Okay, emergency break. Let's stop it. Stop. Stop. Stop. There we go. So, when I was waiting for the shipper, they did make an offer to
me, the buyers. They said that they would keep it uh for $5,000. That was their offering price as far as a discount. So, to sell it to them for shipping. And I thought about it for a
want this thing to come back because I want to show that it really wasn't a big deal. I'm I'm pretty confident that it's not a major fix on this thing uh to make it running and driving and functional again, which is how I sold it. So, I
but partially just because of stubborn pride to ship the thing back and spend that $2,000 to ship it home. And I hope I mean I hope I'm right. So, anyway, let's go get Danielson and see what he has to say. All right, Daniel Son,
here's its replacement. I didn't think these two would be within a thousand miles of each other ever. But I have I have two green fullsize trucks now, vintage ones. But so there's no fluid in this reservoir.
Obviously, there is a leak somewhere. And it got returned from Eastern New York to the tune of I I refunded their shipping $1,500 and I had to pay $2,000 to ship it back and then $8,500 for the truck. So I I felt guilty. Should I feel
not at all. &gt;&gt; Okay. Well, I felt guilty. But anyway, guess, and I'll hit the brakes. &gt;&gt; Yeah. Let's see where it's coming out. &gt;&gt; So, it is a dual reservoir for the front and back.
&gt;&gt; Yep. A little bit in the front and a little bit in the rear. &gt;&gt; All right, there we go. Give that a try. Okay, there we go. Give that a try. Okay, I'm pumping.
&gt;&gt; Oh, let's see. Go ahead. There it is. &gt;&gt; I'm starting to get pedal back. &gt;&gt; Yeah. And I think I see it. So, every time you press the pedal right here, &gt;&gt; Uhhuh. &gt;&gt; I see a little like puff of air. Yes.
And it's I'm starting to see fluid there, too. &gt;&gt; Oh, yeah. Look at that.
&gt;&gt; I guess. So, and you can't just repair that spot. I guess that would be weird, whole &gt;&gt; Well, I don't know if you saw the rust coming up the line. So, more than likely, we're going to have to at least
&gt;&gt; How are you with the brake flaring? Do we have that tool? &gt;&gt; Uh, we do not. It's typically not something that you want to do. &gt;&gt; We have to do it. So, I'm going to have to buy a tool and and get some lines
&gt;&gt; So, it's the next day at the Hoopty Lot. The detailers, BBC Auto Detailing, are cleaning up nine cars today. New buys for inventory. And Daniel's son, well, on getting cars ready for the Hooptilot because of my garbage. So, this Ram
that's had a slight ramming incident. And this Prius that has a mismatch wheel, but it's actually really nice. 110,000 milei Prius. You really don't see them like this anymore. Everything is delayed because of me. Hello, Daniel,
son. &gt;&gt; Hello. Where you going? I'm I'm over &gt;&gt; Yeah. &gt;&gt; So, you didn't want me to film you relearning how to do brake lines as far as the flaring and making the taps and
&gt;&gt; Last time I did brake lines while I was back in high school. &gt;&gt; I did. &gt;&gt; We had to buy the kit just to be able to &gt;&gt; Yeah, cuz nobody buys this anymore. I don't know. Like, who does this?
&gt;&gt; Yep. So, they weren't as long as we thought as far as the brake line. So, failed, right? &gt;&gt; Yes. Um, so they only went to that proportioning valve or whatever the heck that valve was, little valve block. And
this was the area right here where they were on that metal clamp &gt;&gt; So, &gt;&gt; cuz they're not super duper rusty, like for as old as they are. &gt;&gt; Well, it depends on where you look. You
&gt;&gt; Yeah, it's getting there. &gt;&gt; Well, this is the one that actually There's actually a hole in this one. &gt;&gt; But yeah, those are Luckily, they the way to the back. &gt;&gt; So, you put it in here to make the
little taps and then you flare it out with this. And then you you reuse the right? &gt;&gt; Yes. I I didn't have the time to, you &gt;&gt; It looks like you've been doing this forever. That That looks beautiful.
&gt;&gt; I even put the little loops in there. &gt;&gt; That looks beautiful. &gt;&gt; Okay. So, it took you a while to relearn how to do that. &gt;&gt; But I mean, [laughter] but if you were billing this to a normal customer, how
I can do. &gt;&gt; I'm probably billing you two. &gt;&gt; Okay. Well, you can bill me too. That's fine. But at our labor rate, that's like that's a couple hundred. And then as far
nothing. &gt;&gt; No, it's it was all scrap that I found around the shop. &gt;&gt; Just extra stuff we had left over. So, &gt;&gt; you need me now to bleed the brakes, I suppose. But before we bleed, we need to
talk about this Escalade over here because this is the final couple of days for someone to enter for a chance to win this 2003 Cadillac Escalade EXT with only 41,000 miles at phantom.com/hoviesgar.
something fixed. It was giving a service ride control light, right? &gt;&gt; Mhm. &gt;&gt; And you had to replace something. &gt;&gt; Yes. So, in the rear air shock, they obviously have an airline going to them,
they're electronic. &gt;&gt; Yeah. &gt;&gt; So, I measured the resistance. It was open. I actually double checked the good. So, it condemned the shock. I replaced it and that's it.
the first time I've ever experienced one that was intermittent. So, one air shock &gt;&gt; Uh, yes, I do. &gt;&gt; I put it right here on the driver's seat &gt;&gt; Okay. So, I can't miss it when I go. All right. $439. But this is really sad for
these I'm going to find in this condition. It is It is insane. So, I had my 18,000 mi one. It sold for 36 grand on bringing a trailer like I don't know four or five months ago. And the interior on this one is even nicer than
that very low mileage one. 40,000 mi on it because it's never been touched up. it because it's never been touched up. So, it it is insanely insanely nice. You know, I'm keeping the 180,000 mi one. So, that's my consolation prize.
But this is really, I think, the coolest and hardest to find thing that I've ever It does have an aftermarket stereo and backup camera, but the original stereo sitting right here. And look how nice the knobs are. I mean, if you know old
GMT800s, all this just gets worn out. People's fingers rubbing through accessories and everything in here. This truck bed, it doesn't look like it's down on it. I mean, same with this stuff. This stuff just sort of ages. The
texture kind of goes away. It gets milky and it's all it's all ridiculous. Did &gt;&gt; Well, I wanted to ask you a question. How much would you ask for this truck if &gt;&gt; Probably. &gt;&gt; Yeah, probably close to 30 grand.
&gt;&gt; Even though it has 40,000 mi on it compared to less than half with that one that was 36, I still think I still think it's worth it. So yeah, that LQ9, the other part of them. It's just a truck that would last you for the rest
I gave you in the last video where the lifters failed at 150. So that. &gt;&gt; Yeah, but uh you know, there's a lot of nice newer technology and things, but I feel like this is the right mix between
old and new to where it's reliable, but it's modern enough to where it has all the comforts and things you want. So, it'd be crazy if this was a daily driver for someone, but I mean, as far as what new trucks cost, I guess it would make
daily driver, but really this is a collector's item now. It's getting to that point where I could definitely see someday these being $100,000, especially really is an amazing operation. They've done 10 of these for me so far. A lot of
happy Hoobies Garage viewers have gotten some really neat cars, and this one veteranowned and operated company, so they're great people to work with as well. And this really is it is an opportunity. But I guess I can't go yet
&gt;&gt; Yeah, I need your foot right now. &gt;&gt; Okay. All right. brake, but you're going to do it nice and slow. &gt;&gt; Yes. &gt;&gt; Down she goes.
All the way to the floor. Not the most exciting job in the world for me, but it &gt;&gt; And we'll have to do the front and back cuz those lines were one for the front, got to do them all. &gt;&gt; This This will be a thing. Now, it's
been 3 years since I've gone underneath this thing. &gt;&gt; Do Do you need it to be a little higher? You're kind of squatting down a little &gt;&gt; It's okay. So, that's the little valve that you put
&gt;&gt; Double checking that it's not leaking. So far so good. &gt;&gt; And it's always had a little drip from the rear main. It's good rust prevention everywhere else, but uh nothing new crazy going on.
&gt;&gt; No. And I still really haven't looked at it. I just got it on the lift to do the right? &gt;&gt; Uh yes. I just bled the &gt;&gt; Okay. Master cylinder. &gt;&gt; What's not to like about this thing?
&gt;&gt; I just wanted something a little more modern with an extended cab so I'm a little more comfortable since I'm taller. But now that it's back after its 3,000 milei roundtrip journey, I'm kind of like, why
roundtrip journey, I'm kind of like, why did I sell it? Down, &gt;&gt; down. &gt;&gt; Pedal's starting to feel really nice. Feeling really, really nice. We're on the last caliper.
&gt;&gt; Down. &gt;&gt; There we go. &gt;&gt; There we go. &gt;&gt; No more bubbles.
Go ahead and uh see how it feels. &gt;&gt; Uh the the firmst pedal on planet Earth. &gt;&gt; You did it. &gt;&gt; You You didn't have much confidence in &gt;&gt; well. You know, after an hour trying to practice to make those fittings and they
losing confidence pretty quickly. So, we need to double check for leaks now that the system has no air. Okay. Okay, so it seems like we have one leak right here. Might just need a little tightening. Go ahead, press the
little tightening. Go ahead, press the pedal &gt;&gt; All right. &gt;&gt; So, we're forget Ferraris. I mean, you
got that, you know, A12 over there. You're you're you're a hooptie truck mechanic now after everything else on the Hoopty lot, too. You look thrilled. You look thrilled. All right, let's go for a spin. Wait, I still got to double
&gt;&gt; I'm probably not going with you just in case. fix these cars. &gt;&gt; You're that confident in your work, huh? &gt;&gt; You're that confident in your work, huh? [laughter] Whatever. All right.
&gt;&gt; Starts up every time. &gt;&gt; I know. you know, I just parked it for a year and completely forgot about it.
&gt;&gt; So, when they emailed me wanting to sell it, I was like, "Well, it hasn't moved it, I was like, "Well, it hasn't moved in a year, so I guess." But &gt;&gt; every time I went to your house and I saw it parked there, I was like, "Why?"
&gt;&gt; Yeah. &gt;&gt; All right. Well, I'll take her out to see. Let me get the safety devices off. Very confident brake pedal. Very confident brake pedal. &gt;&gt; That's good.
&gt;&gt; There's seat belts. But it's Let's pretend it's the 70s. Nobody buckled up &gt;&gt; Uh, no. I'm not from the 70s. &gt;&gt; I think it'd be better if you were just thrown out of it anyway. But let's just do a slow and then stop.
&gt;&gt; Look at that. &gt;&gt; It's It's perfect. thing in months, but I don't think the brakes ever felt that good.
was. &gt;&gt; Yep. having Yeah, there's strong brakes. &gt;&gt; That's good.
And this thing, just like the last time I drove it, it &gt;&gt; Yeah. &gt;&gt; So, I didn't get to really see it off. &gt;&gt; Why does it look like a part store in here?
&gt;&gt; Oh, because they opened up the glove box and it kind of exploded. &gt;&gt; Well, I fixed this. &gt;&gt; Yeah. Well, appreciate it. All right.
So, I do like that Chevy 454 better. The &gt;&gt; And I do think that's sort of the replacement for this, but somebody's somebody's going to want this. I think we just put it on the hoop for sale. So,
the air conditioning was a little weak when I set off. It worked years ago. &gt;&gt; Yeah. &gt;&gt; So, charge up the AC, make sure nothing else is about to kill somebody, and then let's let's let Gigi sell it. Huh?
let's let's let Gigi sell it. Huh? &gt;&gt; I guess so. &gt;&gt; Are you sure? &gt;&gt; Yeah, I'm sure. I'm sure. It's just I wanted it to come home because I wanted to know what happened and these people
were so unhappy with the thing that they were very eager to send it back to me or was going to be something silly like this. &gt;&gt; And and it was a couple hundred and this thing's driving perfect again.
&gt;&gt; So, I don't know. Technically, it's a $3,500 repairs considering the shipping and everything else. But I don't know. It still feels like a win to me because I I knew it it wasn't a big deal. So maybe
condition the way they were thinking it would be a much nicer truck when it arrived. I I don't know. But &gt;&gt; I think it's pretty nice. &gt;&gt; It is. That's the thing. It is nice. If if it were like a Concour restored one
or a incredible Survivor original like that have been the garage it entire life, it'd be a $40 $50,000 truck. That's what I figured. &gt;&gt; So, I sold this for 8,500 bucks. I sold it for a loss, thinking, "Hey, they're
they're going to like it. They're going to be really happy." And I was just so surprised that they weren't. So, anyway, we'll find the right home for this one. Even the old AM radio still works. &gt;&gt; And when he finally breached the wall
&gt;&gt; yeah. &gt;&gt; Yeah. This all this stuff. It's It's just It's just It's a time machine, man. It's like a walking back into the 80s or truck just going down the road. So that's why Yeah,
&gt;&gt; Yeah, this is definitely one of those trucks where the Newton people get very excited. That Mercedes over there that Mercedes, they this whole Ford this real nice here. Anyway, but speaking of German imports, I need a mir another
German imports, I need a mir another miracle to happen with that 760 M760 &gt;&gt; cuz uh it has that chatter, that little shutter, and it turns out it's probably going to look at that and fingers crossed I'm not going to have to put a
transfer case in that car. This is this is considered a miracle today. So, let's hope that Ninja can perform a second miracle on the Hoopty Fleet. &gt;&gt; Ninja, I got a real challenge for you here, I
think, with this 760. But, I talked to you about it before I bought it and you &gt;&gt; So, what do you think now you see it in person? &gt;&gt; Beautiful. Really beautiful. So, would you own one of these? I know you were a
&gt;&gt; Absolutely. Yeah. &gt;&gt; Yeah. &gt;&gt; Yeah. &gt;&gt; This dark aerite, whatever it is, &gt;&gt; Mine is called carbon blue. Carbon black.
&gt;&gt; But yeah, same color. &gt;&gt; And then this weird rope interior. thing. 180 grand new. I bought it for 30 with 60,000 mi. &gt;&gt; Well, I mean, that's how much these things depreciate. But and it's because
people are scared of these V12s. And when somebody lists a V12 with a misfire, nobody wants it. &gt;&gt; They don't really misfire. when I first bought it, carbon buildup, and when I drove it, carbon buildup, but
then the comments in the video, everybody's screaming about the X drive &gt;&gt; They're right. So, what we're going to do, we can unplug the transfer case you think. &gt;&gt; Okay. So, with it unplugged, it'll go
&gt;&gt; Yeah. You're gonna have all kinds of lights on the dash, but at least you're &gt;&gt; So, why why would the transfer case be pulling power and jerking? &gt;&gt; because of like &gt;&gt; there's clutches inside and it's
&gt;&gt; So, old fluid or &gt;&gt; old fluid or maybe the clutches are &gt;&gt; old fluid or maybe the clutches are worn. But um I talked to the BG guys and they swear if we use the same one we used for your Audi for the synchro
&gt;&gt; it works just as great. &gt;&gt; So I had a manual transmission Audi and popular guy today with the phones as the same kind of principle there with the exact and I told the guys I'm like
you guys you know who who the car belongs to. You know it's going to be They're like yeah. I'm like, "If not, you're buying a transfer case." They're &gt;&gt; but why? &gt;&gt; It's a win-win for you.
&gt;&gt; I mean, why would a transfer case on this thing fail at 50 60,000? &gt;&gt; Mhm. &gt;&gt; I guess maybe poor maintenance on the &gt;&gt; Mhm. &gt;&gt; And they just slip.
to do it at 50,000 mi, which this thing was at 58 when I bought it. &gt;&gt; Yeah. I don't know. &gt;&gt; So, anyway, anything else? I guess it That's &gt;&gt; That's your uh turbocharger.
&gt;&gt; Special cooling for that. &gt;&gt; Yeah, it's kind of cozy. &gt;&gt; Did you drive far? &gt;&gt; Oh, it just drove up here. &gt;&gt; Intercoolers, fuel pumps. I mean,
right? &gt;&gt; Uh no, actually no. &gt;&gt; it was on the older stuff, right? &gt;&gt; Yes. I just did one this morning, actually. Really? &gt;&gt; Yeah. Here. Sure
&gt;&gt; How much is that? &gt;&gt; Uh, by the book, it's like 1,500 bucks. &gt;&gt; there's rebuilds for cheaper, right? &gt;&gt; No, I mean uh you buy them on FCP or &gt;&gt; Right. &gt;&gt; Yeah. But BMW wants 1,500 bucks for
&gt;&gt; But is there anything else to really worry about on these cars? I know Bob with 200,000 miles on it. &gt;&gt; Uh, I think spark plugs, they're due at &gt;&gt; Okay. if they never been done. But I mean,
&gt;&gt; right? &gt;&gt; Yeah. And it still drove great. And &gt;&gt; I guess we going to unplug things and see. We're going to make this thing a hooptie for a second. Wa.
on these. &gt;&gt; Yeah, &gt;&gt; that's expensive. &gt;&gt; Yeah. And much tighter, much safer. &gt;&gt; No leaks. Bone dry. &gt;&gt; Mhm. Look at the size of that caliper.
&gt;&gt; That's insane. &gt;&gt; Yep. Wow. little bit the oil. I would not worry for now. See that? &gt;&gt; Okay. &gt;&gt; Yeah. I would not worry.
&gt;&gt; Yeah. I would not worry. And tires are almost brand new. &gt;&gt; So, at 60,000 mi, she's already got some blown out suspension bushings. &gt;&gt; How about that? &gt;&gt; Well, not this side. This side is fine.
50,000 mi from the factory, right? Is that still the case? &gt;&gt; Okay. It was back 20 years ago, but &gt;&gt; yeah, still the same thing. Okay. You know, this is going to suck sucking the fluid out cuz we have to use a sucker
cuz there's no drain cuz supposedly they're lifetime warranty fluids. That's suck it out of the fill port. verify. That's That's it. Just unplugging that.
&gt;&gt; I'm liking what I'm seeing otherwise. Nice and clean, huh? &gt;&gt; You know, for the end of the era V12s, they definitely went out with a bang.
&gt;&gt; Now they're going with hybrid crap. &gt;&gt; They're going to be hybrids. It's going six-cylinders. It's all It's going to all going to be two-cylinder hybrids now. Or even Yeah, it'll be &gt;&gt; I was talking to my uh oil supplier guy
&gt;&gt; Mhm. &gt;&gt; Now they have a 08 weight. It's like &gt;&gt; For what? &gt;&gt; For like uh Camry, Toyotaas, Hondas, you &gt;&gt; Jeez. &gt;&gt; Yeah. Okay. It's taking a second cuz
&gt;&gt; Oh, I see. Yeah, &gt;&gt; you got it. &gt;&gt; There we go. &gt;&gt; Let me look at the rear suspension real quick. Great tires, man. You know, you cannot drive in the snow with this,
&gt;&gt; Okay. Yeah, &gt;&gt; but it's it's allwhe drive, so it &gt;&gt; goofy. Yeah, trust me. Cuz I tried with my X5. I have the same tires. &gt;&gt; Oh, hell no. &gt;&gt; Brand new brakes in the back. Like brand
spanking new. &gt;&gt; Nice. &gt;&gt; Somebody spent the money. That is if I don't have to put a transfer case in it, it? &gt;&gt; Yeah. Have you ever had these
&gt;&gt; All the time. &gt;&gt; Cuz this they're closed now. When you turn them on, then they deploy. Does it like throw a weird error message? And &gt;&gt; yeah. &gt;&gt; A check engine light for the flaps in
&gt;&gt; Is that like $8 million to fix? &gt;&gt; No, actually it's not. It's not that bad. Is it mad yet? You need to &gt;&gt; We have a wrench and an airbag light. &gt;&gt; It's going to have all kinds of crazy lights.
So, it probably would have done it there. Would have done it there. Okay. No, no miss. It would have done It would have coughed right then. &gt;&gt; Mhm.
That's wild. Is it would do it every time you accelerated mid throttle. Like &gt;&gt; Yeah. &gt;&gt; So, right here at that throttle, which is a quarter, it'd be that every single time.
&gt;&gt; Okay. Well, &gt;&gt; No.
&gt;&gt; Hard. Yeah. &gt;&gt; Is this electric steering on these? &gt;&gt; So, it even disables that. &gt;&gt; Yes. Interesting. &gt;&gt; Yes. Interesting. &gt;&gt; The steering assist.
&gt;&gt; The steering assist. &gt;&gt; All right. Well, let's see if BG can heal the sick versus a transfer case. &gt;&gt; And if they make it worse, they're going &gt;&gt; Well, I mean, I don't think that's what I want to do. But, but how much is a
special or exclusive to the M760, right? &gt;&gt; Uh, yeah, they are. But, I think the transfer case alone is over six grand. &gt;&gt; Okay. I I hope not. Yeah, I think parts
and labor I think is about 8 grand. Oh, you can take the drive shaft out and make it a two wheel drive and you have no lights on the dash. &gt;&gt; That's a thought. But then it would it
&gt;&gt; No. &gt;&gt; So, where is this fill hole? That's supposed to be a &gt;&gt; now going to be a drain hole. Okay.
&gt;&gt; Oh, she a little more. It will just be hanging right there. &gt;&gt; Ready. There you go. &gt;&gt; Yeah. &gt;&gt; maneuver. Okay.
&gt;&gt; So, you've been in here a time or two. &gt;&gt; I did one Monday, actually. &gt;&gt; Gotcha. &gt;&gt; On a X5. He did that and he did the training flush, too.
are just that sensitive. &gt;&gt; Very sensitive. Very delicate. And somehow this car is super hot. You're setting me up for failure. &gt;&gt; It's a V12. Yeah. So, there's there's a lot of heat in the engine bay.
&gt;&gt; Yeah, it's hot. &gt;&gt; Sure enough. Right between the exhaust. &gt;&gt; Sure enough. Right between the exhaust. I mean, &gt;&gt; Yep. &gt;&gt; Okay,
&gt;&gt; Okay, &gt;&gt; there you go. &gt;&gt; Yeah, you can uh &gt;&gt; somebody's tried that before. &gt;&gt; Hopefully not. Nope. It's old fluid.
&gt;&gt; Oh, good. &gt;&gt; Yeah, cuz it's supposed to be clear. &gt;&gt; So, you're hopeful. &gt;&gt; Very.
this out at once. So you have to kind of just &gt;&gt; rinse and repeat until the &gt;&gt; fluid looks nice.
Mhm. &gt;&gt; So that makes it 8 years old. Yeah. &gt;&gt; Yes. &gt;&gt; With a coat hanger.
&gt;&gt; Yeah. &gt;&gt; So, here is the miracle working right here. I've seen this movie. It worked last time. And BG, they do sponsor Hooie's Garage,
but they're not sponsoring this video. I'm I'm just saying this this stuff, it works. We're not impregnating cattle. We are trying to save a BMW.
&gt;&gt; So that's all you can do is just a little at a time and just keep just &gt;&gt; All right. &gt;&gt; I'm going to keep saying it. It's hot as &gt;&gt; I'm I'm sorry. So, if this works, this is a car that's
probably worth around 40 grand. &gt;&gt; Wow. Well, you're keeping So, it's not like I can flip it on the hoop for a profit. But if it doesn't work, then obviously transfer case and then I'm spending the money and I'm
there anyway. So, you know, I thought I was going to be dealing with something a &gt;&gt; Well, hopefully not. &gt;&gt; He's down and we're playing with the computer now. So, what are we We're calibrating.
&gt;&gt; So, when you put new fluid in, you're supposed to recalibrate. &gt;&gt; So, it can detect when old fluid's going on and it kind of compensates. &gt;&gt; Yeah. Hey, says it's successful. So, you ready to go drive it?
&gt;&gt; So, &gt;&gt; I felt it. I felt it. I felt it. There it is. &gt;&gt; Maybe I need to drive it a little bit. &gt;&gt; Maybe. &gt;&gt; Come on.
&gt;&gt; Come on. stumble. &gt;&gt; And then maybe &gt;&gt; maybe it will fix itself.
thing will become a two wheel drive. I I kind of like that idea. Audi R8s and Lamborghini Gallardos. You know, &gt;&gt; that might &gt;&gt; And that wouldn't make it mad, huh?
though. Is it? &gt;&gt; Oh, it just depends. It really doesn't &gt;&gt; Oh, it just depends. It really doesn't like this low load right here. better. How about that?
How about that? Okay, we judged it too soon. Okay, we judged it too soon. Nothing. &gt;&gt; probably. Or the fluid circulating. Yeah,
it's not doing it. There we go. &gt;&gt; I know. It was It was there and then and then it's gone. Well, how about that, then it's gone. Well, how about that, Ninja?
&gt;&gt; It's getting better. &gt;&gt; Well, it there's Yeah, it's done. Okay. Okay. Well, I'll keep driving it, but that's that's very very promising. So that's that's very very promising. So far, we have two easy fixes.
&gt;&gt; that is that is so much better. Look at &gt;&gt; dude. Thank you so much for watching and thank you BG. Thank you Ninja. I could I &gt;&gt; No, thank you. I'm dirty. &gt;&gt; It doesn't happen often for me, but it
sure is nice to have a happy ending every once in a while. And today I had of the gutter. But I am very happy. And speaking of happy endings, someone is Escalade. Entering to win at phantom.com/hubiesgar.
