- Back at Auto Illusions to try and figure out what actually happened to the Ranger when putting vodka in the Rangers gas tank, we know engine is not seized up so that's good news.. but she is not yet up and running.
What happens if you fill up an EMPTY tank with vodka:

Typical Craigslist add
😂😂
If that truck was Hector Salamanca, then you’re Gus Fring. You won’t let it die but keep torturing the poor thing 😂😂😂
That didn't end well for either one of those guys, great reference to a great show imo.
😁
That's dope lol
"What's wrong with her?" 😂😂😂
What isn't wrong with her Mike ?? 😂😂
lmao
Vodka got her drunk, hence no start...
Exactly 😂
Push it, it's manual
yes
Came here to say that too
Bump start. I had a manual Saturn SL2 that went through starters for some reason. Eventually I gave up and only parked where I could get a rolling start. I didn't even need a hill -I could push it from the A pillar and jump in 😆
What??? Someone can push the car while you hold the clutch in with the car in 1st gear and you can pop the clutch and the car will start. That's amazing! Where did you learn that?😒🙄
A new starter for the experiment? Really, guys, why didn't you push-started it? That's a common practice with the such an old stuff with a manual trans.
Too bad they didn’t see the last video when you roasted the starter for like 5 minutes😂 diag would’ve been real easy
Seriously! We all knew it was the starter, but he had no clue. lol
Yeah when I watched that video, it was pretty obvious to me that the starter got killed. Solenoid died and the gear got stuck being meshed with the flywheel and burned the starter motor up. That’s why it made that scratchy sound for a few minutes.
Usually the solenoid fails before it engages with the flywheel (in my experience) so that was interesting seeing it fail that way. The funny thing to me is this guy doesn’t seem like he knows a lot about auto mechanics, he’s just f**king with the truck and finding out what happens
@@PERTEKofficialhonestly I can understand why someone would pour vodka in their truck, hear a weird sound, and not know it’s the starter.
@@adawg3032 I mean, that makes sense to me too, it’s not like everyone’s a mechanic. But at the same time, I do find it pretty comedic that he’s doing this seemingly without much knowledge of how it works. Usually the people that do this stuff explain what went wrong, etc, but this just guy’s just like “f**k it, let’s just send it and see what happens”
Seems like he just needs to read his comments a little more
The danger ranger MUST LIVE ON!!!!
Glad youre keeping Danger Ranger alive
Had an 87 F150 with a similar issue. Ended up being the starter solenoid. Your starter is bad, but it could also be the solenoid too. When mine went out, it wouldn’t even turn on the indicator lights in the cluster (check engine, etc), and I noticed you didn’t have any lights either. Good luck! Enjoy what you’ve done to this poor truck hahaha
Yes, it was the starter, and you jammed it up when you let it idle and tried driving it while the starter was spinning. Once they fix the starter, you should disconnect the battery so the computer resets too. Then it can relearn everything with the vodka in the tank.
These mechanics are not as animated as The Wizard from Hoovies Garage. They need to pump up that animation 😂
It needs to go to Kansas to the Wizards shop they will figure it out in like 10 minutes
I have been looking forward to this for a while!
Mike come on!! U didn’t read the comments on last video listen to when you turned the truck on and you go “wHaT iS tHaT sOuNd” that was the starter sticking you burnt it up it stayed engaged
Great video Mike!
Could you try push starting it since it’s a manual? I’m just curious why it died while running if it was the starter??
Push it down a hill and pop the clutch and see what happens 😂
Exactly, I just wrote the same thing 🤦♂️
I said the same thing when I watched that video lol. I didn’t know it’s a standard transmission but I made a comment explaining how the starter motor failed and suggested roll starting it if it’s a stick shift, it would’ve fired back up and he could’ve used up the rest of the vodka in the tank
Also, it probably died because ethyl alcohol doesn’t release as much energy as gasoline does when it combusts. It is possible to run an engine on ethyl alcohol, but the engine isn’t going to run as well unless the car is designed to adjust the air/fuel ratio to compensate for it. There are cars that are designed to run E85 gasoline, which is 85% ethanol, and they can run it just fine.
Vodka is typically 40% alcohol, which is enough for it to combust, but that’s also 60% water. so you’re basically running an engine with watered down fuel, on top of using fuel that isn’t as efficient as gasoline. As a result, the engine isn’t going to produce much power, and it’ll die pretty easily if you’re not keeping the RPMs a bit higher than idle.
Edit: at least that’s the explanation for why it would die specifically with vodka in the tank. considering he put vegetable oil in the engine (and who knows what else), there could be any number of other reasons why it would’ve died. Pretty entertaining to watch though haha
Or should have checked spark plugs
he was frying the starter trying to start it on vodka , fried the starter, truck died bc it was trying to run on vodka, starter was fried after frying it so could not start anymore.
Miserable garage workers absolutely no enthusiasm
Needs to look for another shop
They are probably tired of him acting like a teenager.😂
@@dave4708😅😅😅
@@dave4708easy repeat customer lol why be mad
@@John-Doe-Yo That's asking why someone who keep frying the PC is not annoying
If anything, you feel happy means you lack passion for the things in your field. Mechanics and repairman hates avoidable damage.
Atleast the car was old enough to drink
I so love this truck my favorite truck ever, so glad that it’s possibly just the starter and glad they were able to turn the motor and can’t wait to possibly see it run again and yet that’s some dark vegetable oil definitely, tks for the good update Mike and love the videos :)
You killed it! got me! 😂
A good quality moonshine probably would have been better than vodka!! 😂😂 I love Ranger videos!!😎💪🇺🇸🙏
Why am I so invested in this story. lol
It's a stick right? So before spending money on a starter give it a push and pop the clutch.
Those rangers are great trucks sold mine with 312k still ran great hardly leaked or burned oil 4.0 fx4 lvl2
“But what did the vodka actually do?” Lol wtf 😅
Rock Auto has a starter for the Danger Ranger 😊 Great video Mike 😊👍
1:51 Motorcraft 5w-50. Been saving that around for a gt350?
Why didnt you guys try push starting it?
Vodka is not all alcohol. It’s a lot of water as well.
70% isopropyl minimum makes great gas line antifreeze.
That rust is only surface rust. That can be restored. I love those “baby pickups” as my brother called them when he was young.
Lesson:
Veg oil BASE is great but in the raw without an additive package…..not so wise lol
Also: if you wish to run a vehicle off of Olaf make certain he gives the truck some warm hugs first😂😂😂
This is like a " what will a ranger survive" lol great fun
Interesting video 👍
Starters on those rangers can be a pain
In last video you could of at least got the 50% alcohol vodka lol, but from my experience doing this the sugars/additives possibly gummed things up (only time i have managed to run things on that low % alcohol are old tractors or low compression engines with carbs an typically the timing has had to be played with) but who knows and sure we will find out in the next addition of Danger Ranger :)
So vegetable oil gets you some nice horsepower dust in your oil filter 3:30 WHO KNEW 🤷♂
Autovlog Great Video I'm sorry to hear that the Danger Ranger won't start up and I hope it's nothing serious so you can make what happens if Videos
Just make sure it's running rich. To run alcohol at the track they are on the rich side to keep it cool as alcohol burn hotter.
5:29 I had that in my ford too, it was just pushing it and make the starter rotate with the engine and it run again and fixed itself!!!
metal flakes in the oil filter is common
I've had 3 rangers. Extremely reliable trucks. All manual transmission s. If the starter doesn't work, you push start it. If the solenoid fails, you jump the solenoid terminals. If the neutral safety switch fails at the clutch pedal, you use a jumper wire.
What a great truck
Honestly that frame and underside didn’t look that bad. Northeast trucks have numerous holes and crumble away if you look at them funny
Lets go autovlog
That rust aint shit lmao
You should remove those OPEN CONTAINERS of alcohol from the bed.
*glass bottles, there's no alcohol in them lol
You should stop paying taxes while your governments are committing mass murder and genocides
That truck started knocking when it ran out of gas
But it was due to ignition timing
No. Nobody wants to admit the obvious. Its hydro locked. You cant run ur truck on vodka. It wont burn properly. Injectors dont regulate it properly. And too much unburned fluid is in the cylinders. @@gabrielv.4358
2:29 I take it you've never lived in the Midwest. This here is nothing. 😂
Maybe Solenoid before starter some fords have that which is the problem
I'm sorry, but did they say the voltage was at 12.0 V ?
Because that is a discharged battery! A full charged battery is 12.6 V minimum.
How do you know the battery is good?
Did they test it?
If so what sort of test did they run on it?
The only proper way to test a battery is to use a carbon pile load tester and have it be full charged. If they used a piece of shit internal resistance tester then they are full of shit.
Danger ranger in coma !! She will live again!
How long was the vegetable oil in it for
Check at O'Reillys parts they might have a starter
I own a 96 ranger, has extended cab and is the 4.0 V6 SAME COLOR as this one. I let my dad have it now for his daily, I miss driving it alot. Seeing this thing get beat up over and over again helps me keep mine in good condition (decently) it has like 65000 miles on it now I bought it back in 2020 when it had 43000 miles on it.
But she definitely needs a major tune up. beautiful trucks though.
I would have put a jump pack on the battery in case it went bad. Then, bench test the starter instead of guessing. If the starter spins, would have to be the solenoid on the fender. This what my Dad's mechanic would do in the 60's when faced with the same situation....
But you saw him add 12v direct with his probes?
Bro its hydro locked. 100%. Put a scope down there. I bet anything the cylinder walls are scored and the pistons are bent. Has to be the nosie that was heard.
The unburned vodka in the cylinders cant be compressed and bent the pistons. And it also appears ur battery is dead from all the cranking.
Just becasue it turns doesnt mean it isnt hydro locked.
Also dudes hitting the starter and you clearly have no power.
Oddly fascinating show
starter stucked engaged and burnt, new starter and you will fly with vodka in the tank
^ This
Test jump with screw driver across post of solinoid.
Ford had them separate for a reason heat degrades the solinoid
lmao exactly how I thought it would look
Veggie oil prolly got the block hot, like when you run an engine dry they stop, but somewhere they cool off, they'll turn again
English please.
If its the starter, couldn't you push start it?
Wait…. Is this THANOS?
May she rest in peace ✌
The Danger Ranger has made you some good money, based on YT views. The least you can do for her, is give her the correct oil. 1:59 Keep up the DR videos. My wife and I enjoy watching them. 😂😂😂
Straight pipe, the Ford ranger
When you fill with wodka and cranked it starter didnt stop spin, that was your soud...
We demand a new hooptie 🎉🎉🎉 incase the current one is RIP 😢
Thats what the noise was in last video. Starter stuck engage
Surprised you didn’t order the part from one of the online auto parts stores…
That odd noise you hear after putting the 1st half gallon of vokia in, was the starter bendix not kicking out, driving it kill the starter
“What miracle did you want me to perform”
I'm no expert, but assuming the Ranger would have an inertia based disengagement system in the starter, it's probably taking longer to fully disengage, and might even be engaging and disengaging when the engine's struggling.
Vodka is water and fermented yeast. The fermentation process isn't complete, and most vodka is at most 50% ethanol. That means you used ethanol and sugar water as fuel. Sugar in the fuel mixture is bad. I'd say 100% ethanol would've yielded much better results. My guess at this point is even with the new starter its not going to run.
did these guys never work on an old ford before and try to manually bypass the solenoid on the fender? hes tryin to apply power to it via power probe lol.
Sunlight in her eyes but moonshine made her blind everytime
In russa they put vodka in the gas tank all the time
I watched Back To the Future 3 and even in a movie this wasn't a good idea! 😂
When it was making that noise in last video it was probably the starter stuck engaged
It died with its Boots On
That means if the starter went bad danger ranger would've kept going before. Its bullet proof.
Make this a build truck for the channel
I'm not a regular viewer so I don't know if this is a manual ranger, but some rangers are manual transmissions, if this one is manual, then you could rule the starter out by roll starting the ranger.
First like Mike great videos 💪🏻😃
Best car on the channel! 😅😂
Just bump start it to make sure it's stick shift 😂
Water logged- nearly hydrolocked- considered flooded Ford Ranger for sale!!! It would really appreciate an engine swap! Broken engine- worn transmission- lot drives LOL
You should be do a restore for this car, you will be have a lot views for this car
Ranger drank itself to death.
Where is ur buddy Bryan? Pipp piipp pipsburgg views!!
I always thought gasoline vehicles had ENGINES in them were as electric vehicles had MOTORS.
Interchangeable terms in most cases. There are exceptions. Just like there is a human race, a Caucasian race, and various other races. Terms can be interchangeable. But cells are not batteries. But we call them batteries anyway when buying "batteries" for calculators, watches, and toys.
If you end up needing a new motor for it, stuff a 5.0 in it :)
Dude the Ranger is a manual, right?So,why don't you guys push the car and see if it starts!Ignition on ,second gear push the clutch and wen you have a little speed let the clutch and it should start...If it doesn't then you can try with a new starter...
Maybe ad some regular gas to the vodka before starting it
Do you have yearly mot's over there.
Here in Pennsylvania, where this channel is located and also myself. We have have yearly/annual State Inspections, it’s required for the vehicle to be able to pass inspection. If it does, it gets inspection sticker(s), some counties in Pennsylvania have both state inspection and emissions testing, in the case of emissions testing, it gets 2 stickers instead of 1.
Seeing that Vodka is 40% Vol and he putted in there approximately 2 and a quarter liters of water, right? So how it didn't hydrolock?
Try London Dry Gin
Should have asked if he could put a rip cord on it lol
The vodka made the ranger passout 😂
You can plop any starter in that thing it doesn't matter
Car parts is hard to come by these days
🖤🖤🖤
Get yourself an AMG GT/GTS!!!
update?
