I bought this 1998 Mitsubishi Diamante from the Oklahoma State Surplus Auction for $402.01. After putting in some work I've got it cleaned up and ready to live again, but I wanted to try some mechanic in a bottle fixes to stop the oil leak and bring the power steering back to life. After pouring those in Randy from @AutoAuctionRebuilds showed up. We took it out for it's first real drive, and he bought it to take back to Oklahoma so he can keep working on it.

#Mitsubishi #Diamante #AuctionCar
Mitsubishi got me with the double sided center console... I love stuff like that!! 😍
It was ahead of it’s time
Ok it's time for a car repair video, a fixer upper. I have a Honda Element...
It makes sense since this car was sold in right-hand driving countries too. The same part works in either configuration.
@@znogaragego3421 Not just sold but MADE in a right-hand drive country, and it was not Japan. These cars were exported to Japan.
@@briantayler1230 made in Australia. This car was really Bang for its buck in the day. Ford, Holden & Toyota could not match it on price for all it’s features.
Oh No not Repeat Randy from Auto Auction Repeat. Just be careful he has screwed every other youtuber he has worked with.
Amen
Yes sir he has. Weird Beard got so tired of his bs he apparently threatened to whoop his ass so then ol Randy made sure to start posting picks of his new Taurus 9mill. So not only is he shady af he's a puss too. I used to be a fan... not so much anymore.
@@aggressivemediocrity posting pictures of a gun = pussy.
Buying a Taurus = Idiot
He's massive tool.
Auto Auction Rebuilds will say,"....I'm just gonna send it to auction". Auto Auction Re-Auctions.
Don’t disagree with randy he don’t like when you don’t agree with him lol
Always good to see Monkey Wrench Mike….top guy!
Thanks Ross!!
Wish it was a longer series with the Diamante, but hey .... the two you tube video probably already made more than what you paid for the car. Keep the junk cars coming, its enjoyable to see them get cleaned and fixed.
Yes it is fixing the old car's.
Awesome seeing Mike trying to hide in the shadows... You can't miss the smile.
Ha!! Thanks!
As soon as you mentioned Randy, I knew this wasn't worth watching
Interesting how he refers to Randy as a “dealer,” but I would have thought the number of flips JR does that Kansas would require him to be a dealer as well. Now I am curiouser.
I think it has something to do with state’s requirements on selling a vehicle bought from salvage auctions lol Randy pretty much lives at the auction yard
@@zackatron925 The Kansas State DOR web site simply says that a dealer needs a license and says “A vehicle dealer constitutes a person who purchases a vehicle with the intent to sell for a profit, or sells 5 or more vehicles within a calendar year.”
Randy got in trouble for selling too many cars in OK. He had to get a dealers license if he wanted to keep his youtube channel going.
I know each state has different rules on how many cars you can sell in a year. In my state, I can only sell 2 cars before I am required to get a dealers license.
Unfortunately, JR is at the age where he labours under the delusion his success affords him a level of 'invincibility'........then the city/state get their hooks into you and it ends in tears.
Where I live you have to pay sales taxes if you buy a car. Sell it a week later and the next owner has to pay taxes again. Having a dealer license gets you out of paying sales taxes.
Randy is the stop leak king! Especially head gasket
Because he can't be bothered to fix things correctly?
Funny how he says I’ve never tried it. He’s the shadiest of them all.
Randy is a total scam
@@braaapattack2937 maybe but I enjoy aar
I originally liked your video like I normally do prior to watching the video BUT then Randy showed up and ruined it. I hope you guys never collaborate again. I'm sure I'm not the only subscriber that has the same type of feeling on this topic. If it was any other channel I'd just skip watching it -- yes I dislike him that much.
You are far from alone.
F Randy Refills.
I can’t stand randy he is a user and an absolute narcissist
I make sure to click the like button even harder when I see Randy in a WatchJRGo video.
Monkey Wrench Mike needed a shout out guys, he’s a top bloke! He deserves loads more subs 🙉
Thanks Ross!!
@@MrMikeyBBrooks love ya Mike. Would’ve been great if you got a mention
Noooo I was hoping for a full nut and bolt resto!!!! 😜
Hahaha, I'd be better off buying a clean one 😳
You need to tune into Randy's YT page for the Full Resto. 😮
@@MrWoodyBalto would rather have teeth pulled.
@@marksbikeexports5123 Go do that then
the worst part of this video is: AAR being involved.
??? Why you no like Randy?
JR said in a comment there was an issue with the title that a dealer could fix. AAR has a dealers license so JR made a couple videos and sent the title headaches to AAR.
Pouring turds from a bottle into a turd of a vehicle and selling it to a turd of a person, the circle is complete.
Damn, haters gonna hate…
Haha, bit harsh on the mitsi…
JR A+, Love Mike's personable videos...Dandy is a snake.
Monkey wrench Mike is one of my favorites. He's got a quirky way about him but seems genuine. Great job getting out of that Diamante JR. That's a losing proposition all day long.
I mean he has made his money back.
@@cameronschluchtner for sure he did. Had he kept it longer and done more repairs, like the facelift or something crazy like that... $$$
Thanks Dan!!
Can’t believe you didn’t introduce monkey wrench Mike!
Always great seeing Monkey Wrench Mike out there 🙂 One of the big Mercedes UA-camrs
Thanks Brian!!
Sorry to see you sold it to Randy. He really screwed Weird Beard over and i'll never watch him again.
You still have no idea what happened... sad to see it...
@@ThatAirsoftguy16 Could you fill me in? I have seen Weird Beard's video and he was almost in tears.
@@marcykaren He screwed Randy over too. It was sad to see it happen.
@@docgiggles130 I did not see that and I will admit that I am probably biased because I do enjoy Weird Beard's videos more because of their content. Randy has a different audience and I can understand that.
A perfect "teenager's first car"! I wish I could have found something like that for my children's first car!
My youngest brother's first car was a 2002 Diamante. It was a really nice car until the transmission went out after a few years. He got his money's worth out of it for sure though. He still talks about how much he misses that car to this day.
True dat. My youngest nearly ruined the car we got for him -- always curbing the wheels, backed into a parking lot post a couple times at school. Kids who are not into cars are rough on cars. No need to get them something nice.
@@97I30Ti've had a burnt copper-red ex-rental 6/2003 TL Diamante Wagon for the last thirteen and a half years now and don't want to change it for anything else, so nicely it drives on the open road, and it's just as quick as a Beemer 330Ci. Mind you the engine has undergone a few Ralliart Plus changes, but is still normally aspirated. The Mitsi 6G74 engine is a marvel of engineering in my opinion. One of the most under-rated modern car in history probably.
I love how Randy literally blocked Mike in every shot, so Mike takes time to help out Randy and literally gets blocked, I know Randy is fat but it was a little ridiculous.
Dandy is biggest a**hole, biggest ego....hope JR stops this. Mike is an A+ guy.
@@MadeInNewYork73 yeah, jr will start losing views if randy hangs around like a bad smell.
@@mj_aussie_coaster_travels8310 Can only speak for my family. You're right on the money.
Hey everyone, we were there fir Randy to do a video with the car. He didn’t block me a lol. But thanks for standing up for me!
@@MrMikeyBBrooks You did everything right. Looking forward to seeing Janis...hope she's a good spirit to you! Happy New Year
Ugggh, shut it off when I realized Randy was gonna be in the video. Hard pass on any content supporting him.
Don’t worry about the timing belt, it’ll drive anywhere!
It's an interference engine if that helps
Did some research on this junker and apparently it was abandoned at an adult book store in Perry, OK. Previous owner? Scotty Kilmer.
I had an older Chrysler T&C that had some massive oil leaks. Took it into the shop and they were able to fix a lot of them, but they told me that if it started leaking again (which it did) to buy a good bottle of oil stop leak and try it. Did that and the van ran like a champ for another 40K miles until someone rear ended us, and the van wasn't worth the estimates for repairs, so the stuff does work. Also did somewhat the same thing for an Explorer that had the expensive ($4k) leaking head gasket - used the treatment recommended by the shop and it was still running a year later with no coolant leak.
Can't watch any video with that clown from AAR. I'm out
No love for Mike 🙄😄
I absolutely LOVE JR's unbridled enthusiasm for his beater cars~!
Loved this video! Make sure you go check out @Monkey Wrench Mike’s video on the car!! (You’ll love his channel too!) Glad the car has gone home with Randy, looking forward to more content!
You didn't present Monky wrench mike. 🤔
Would have been cool to give Monkey Wrench Mike a shout out . . . maybe there is more to come ?? . . .
These things are notorious for rocker cover gasket leaks, I’ve owned 6 Magnas (Diamante to the US viewers) and all of them have had that issue. One thing people forget is to reshape the covers to make the gasket fit snug so it doesn’t leak again. Also the metal is very thin on them so the bolts are 3.5nm or just snug. Radiator top and bottom tanks are brittle plastic and crack, the 4spd auto is pretty good (except the wavespring which wasn’t updated until 04) but these motors do not die. A mate of mine ram one with no coolant for a decent chunk of time, topped it back up, and it ran like nothing even happened. Still going strong 2yrs later too…
The 6G family 72 74 and 75 are amazing engines. Chuck a 6G75, and a manual box in a Diamante and it’s a ridiculously torquey car (220hp at the front wheels with that setup).
These have a massive following down under, and the Japanese ones have so many toys it’s not even funny (multi link suspension, radar cruise control to name a few)
Loving the content mate, and can’t wait to see what Randy does with it.
If either of you are down under anytime soon I’d love to show you around our barren Little Rock.
Can’t wait to build my 2004 fusion orange AWD one and put an Evo 8MR manual box, sprintex supercharger and 6G75 in. Maybe I should do a YT build series on it 🙊
Side note: us Aussies didn’t get the centre console lid with those slide out cup holders. Superrrr jealous of it 🙊
Also from Oz. Had a 2004 AWD from new for 10 years till someone ran into it @80KM/H. I was fine.
BTW, great car! AWD insanely grippy. Especially with 245/17inch tyres
@@peterfey9921 glad to hear you were okay from that one. Must’ve been a traumatic experience! I’m reassembling mine as we speak, have just done rocker cover gaskets, tube seals, leads, dizzy cap and rotor button (notorious maintenance items on these things as you’d know). Really clean car otherwise, the rare leather interior, sunroof, kms are at 180,000 and it’s been really well looked after for the most part.
The HM Headers I’ve got laying around will be installed soon, im making up a custom Magnaflow exhaust for it too. Will need to install Evo x bilsteins once I mod them to fit 👀
Picking up the supercharger in the next few weeks when things really pick up the pace… Evo X BBS and some Brembos are next on the list.
@@timdiskodisken6241 Good to hear you're keeping yours at it's best! Mine was also. Even tho it was as new inside, I'd sourced NOS genuine leather interior and had just finished installing that and a bunch of other things when it was rear ended. I've since moved to the country and bought a V6 ML Triton which is awesome as well! Neither have given me problems in a combined 15 years of ownership. But I do maintain my cars well.
BTW Love the sound of your build! I'm in SE Qld -if you're in the area (not likely) I'd love to see it
Good to see Monkey Wrench Mike , love his YT channel. He's a funny guy with great content.
Seeing these comments is crazy! Thanks for the shoutout Jimmy!
@@MrMikeyBBrooks You're welcome Mike! Hang in there, you have great content, It's just a matter of time and your channel will blow up..
Great crossover video! JR with AAR and Monkey Wrench Mike! ✌️
Monkey Wrench Mike is awesome
How about a shout out to Monkey Wrench Mike?
Had a 2004 Diamante many years ago...great car. Side note, Kia was building the 3.5 mitsubishi engine 7+ years ago...I have a Sorento with it now, super smooth and puts out 276 horsepower now...
Randy still working on his 5th chin for 2022. Love you fatso.
Great video watchjrgo u did what u could with the Mitsubishi and it great seeing u hanging with autoauctionrebuilds a d monkey wrench Mike you all are great youtubers I hope to get my channel as great as yalls keep up the great u do
Auto fluid refills, and then cry about losing money
Cool to see Monkey Wrench Mike in the episode as well!
Thank you!!
Can’t stand this guy Randy, sorry
The diametes were cool cars in there day. In 1998 My 1st car was a 96 galant. My mom went with me to buy it. It was the first time we brought a car from the dealer. I loved that car and tricked it out with led lights, 17 inch chrome rims, a pioneer system, sub and amps. Wish I could go back in time. You should keep it.
You guys together are a riot!!!! I would be laughing my ass off I worked there!
Monkey Wrench Mike makes a cameo. Great channel. Put your Mercedes hats on.
And be on stand -by for a Bentley.
🤞🤞
Keep the rally cap on Mike. You'll be at 50,000 subs by June. Interesting content
You didn't say anything about Monkey Wrench Mike!
It's almost like he wasn't there!!....ironically Mike has linked to WatchJRGo but it wasn't reciprocated. Shame.
A 'cat can look at a King'....but all the King sees is another mouth to feed.
Hey there is definitely a market for da hoopde
Monkey Wrench Mike!!!!!!!! He has a an affinity for Mercedes like Alex. I always tell him to get in touch with Alex for his cars. One of my favorite Automotive UA-camrs besides you and Jake. Mike is the man.
I was wondering if that was him. Awesome!
Mike is the man......Fuck me sideways, congratulations way to announce to the would you have little to no clue. As for a affinity like Alex, you have confirmed you have noooooooo clue.
@@marksbikeexports5123 Wow man, you like let your full prescription run dry or are you just rationing what you have left and white-knuckling it until then?
Thanks Clif!
@@clifbradley one is a fully trained MB tech, the other a newscaster who likes to fiddle with cars.........they are not even on the same league. Enjoy your life in the Truman show
John Ross! I love your channel.. You're fun to watch even if Im not totally into the content. However. The last month or so Im totally losing interest! I get 2 minutes into a video and I say to myself " I DONT Give a rats butt about a new window for an ancient Mitsu beater" I wouldn't look twice at that car if were sitting in the middle of my living room. Please. I dont care about that dump truck either. You have a great channel. You have the personality. But your content has been forced and boring. I know you will recover!
Kind of a downer, when I saw @MonkeyWrenchMike I thought that he chauffeured Randy to the shop so he can drive the diamante himself to Oklahoma. With the trailer it is kind of unsporty. But anyway the diamante was a nice find.
I used this stuff called AT-205 stop leak for everything. Got it on Amazon a few years ago. I wanted to stop the leaking of my power steering pump on my Subaru. The stuff is still working !
Scotty approved.
LOVE THE VIDEO, LOVE TO SEE ALL GANG TOGETHER AFTER LONGTIME, HI TO RANDY AND MIKE .... AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR JR AN TO ALL
400 comments and over 80 of them basically say Randy sucks, that has to be some sort of record.
HAPPY NEW YEARS EVERYONE
I didn’t even realize it was already NYE 😳
We bought a car with that stop leak for head gaskets it ruined the heater core and clogged the passages in the block we ended up having to put a junk yard engine in all over a intake gasket leak that stuff is only made for people who want to cover up issues and sell a car so it someone else issue
Hey!
🥈 yo!
Tried the main seal repair goop on my Neon and it didn't work, BUT when I took it to a trustworthy local shop and he thought it was the oil pan but when he tore it apart the rear main barely was still in and fell out. It would use a full quart in 5 miles and every time I stopped it would leave a puddle. I didn't even have to really change the oil after it was fixed as it just threw it all out as I drove it and topped it off. It did have about 170k at that point and a collapsed hose on the pcv system so was probably the high miles and a pressurized block.
Hey Jr Randy sent us.
I just added a bottle of AT-205 in my 2009 Ford Escape V6 with 165,000 miles because I have a small drip from the timing cover and oil pan.
Fingers crossed and I hope it works because it's at least a six-hour job to repair.
Cool to see Monkey Wrench Mike in the back ground.
Please don't collaborate with Randy anymore.
For $400 it will be a good driver for someone!!! 👍👍
Absolutely 🍻
Perfect work vehicle.
Ask Randy how he kept his S600's ABC system from leaking some years back ;) ua-cam.com/video/FrR1t83VWVk/v-deo.html
I doubt it is a good idea to add hydraulic 'stop leak' to a Mercedes ABC system. Ironically 'Monkey Wrench Mike' (the invisible man!!) has an SL500 Merc called 'Rusty' that has an ABC problem....he is currently working on a video to rebuild the ABC valve body with new seals. I don't think he has mentioned using anything like 'stop leak'. It's like using a sticking plaster when someone has cut their finger off...pointless!!!
Right! Randy did it and Mike hasn't. It's not about the 'right way' it's about has he done it when he has. It worked for Randy.
@@1995RangeRover The ABC system on Mercedes is complicated and the components very expensive to replace. It makes good UA-cam footage but long term I doubt it will work and could make things worse. OK as a 'dealer' trick before selling it on Copart.
Randy does not have a dealers lic in fact he got in trouble for doing shady deals with dealers the judge told him he is not allowed to buy and sale cars and he can not get a dealers lic nor have anything to do with those who do
He can only buy clean titled cars from the auction which is a red flag for a "rebuilder"
False, he does have a dealership license. It's a registered wholesaler dealership with Oklahoma department of motor vehicles. I believe you heard some misinformation
@@ThatAirsoftguy16 I believe you didn't check the records before posting... Between 2021-10-16 and 2021-12-30 Change of status from 'Active' to 'In Existence'
@@kgb4187 which means it is in existence.....?
@@kgb4187 Randy said in his videos that he was having trouble with renewing his license, but it was still good until the 31st. He has gotten it taken care of now. Randy has even explained why he hasn't been taking on bigger projects lately. Funny how you are trying to make something he was open about into a big deal.
WOW, that was a light touch-up and quick flip. Good for you.
....really, he lost money. I'm curious what would be a bad flip in that alternate universes you inhabit?
@@marksbikeexports5123 He didn't really lose money. Remember, his primary goal is to make videos. That's how he makes money, not by flipping cars or Turo'ing cars. That $400 was just an expense for the content for his channel. If he got his investment money back by selling it to Randy, then that's just gravy on top.
I see Randy on a video I click dislike and the back button
As soon as you said randy ...I stopped watching
Thanks for all the videos you gave us in 2021. Really enjoying all your adventures. Hope you have a wonderful and prosperous 2022. Peace
"Do we get to call this 'Samcracing' it?" 🤣🤣🤣
yes, this one had to move on
I’m not convinced
First?? Nope but I ain’t last! Thanks for the awesome car, and a fun few hours today.
Doubt it
Thanks for taking it off my hands! 🍻
Keep us updated on its future AAR!
RANDY!!! 👏👏👏🤘🤘🤘
Definitely not the sharpest tool in the shed
AAR, Monkey Wrench Mike and Watch JRGO, breaking out the Blue Devil. Great collaboration. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all.
Thanks!!
To properly Samcrack it, it gets forgotten about after half fixing it and parked under the trees for eternity.
My favorite thing about Samcrac is that he busts on other UA-camrs for doing the same things he does. Well that and the pr0n stars he has on there sometimes. 😂
Forgot to have the steers wandering around and the attack rooster ever present during the work. 😁
I happen to know for a fact the steering fluid stop leak does not work I’ve tried them all on my Lexus and in the end I took it to the shop
“Sam Crac’ing it” you heard it here first lol
dislike, u had randy on your chanel
I think you need to sell it for 2500 to cover the loss you took on that diesel truck!
Do unto others, then split!
"no. I've never put stop leak in any of my cars....." There for a split second I almost believed him ;-) Randy will have fun with that DSM - it's the content that keeps on giving! best of luck!
It's not a DSM since it was built in Australia not normal illnois
Got to love Mitsubishi using different whack names all over the world for their mass produced popular cars.
Its a Mitsubishi Magna - trim level is a "Verada" here in Australia
The good trick if the car springs a coolant leak in the outback is to apply straight into the top rad-filler a decent amount of Oz urea blended with copious denatured Foster's and that thick junk mix gunks-up small pinhole leaks fast in just a few minutes, but you have to be careful fatty-the-worm doesn't get a burn - as overheated rad is bloody hot!!!

Hell yeah Monkey Wrench Mike was in the house! He has a great channel too in case you haven’t heard of him.
Hiya, back in the day STP sold engine oil leak stopper/ engine improvers, was as thick as treacle or runny honey but it worked, but, an old LANDROVER tip before they came full of modern cr^p electrickery was add some old style brake fluid into the power steering tank and IT STOPPED the fluid leaking by swelling all the oil seals..Worked on my old 1991 Discovery 200 DTi turbo diesel.. Thanks for the video -- Ian --UK.
You know things in the car world are bad when WatchJRgo is selling shit boxes and then brags. poor Randy got robbed.
That would make a pleasant change.
Nah. Randy will take care of the title issue, make money from the videos he makes with it (just like JR did) and then send it off to IAA. Both JR and Randy will come out fine in the end from views.
I see what you did there. Shine on you crazy Diamomte! 👍😎
I was waiting for that title
You got a point there. Maybe it is better to buy an old car than rent a car. Last time I check, one day rental was like $300 in November. It’s insane. People end up renting trucks at Home Depot.
Man ! Very Quick these guy's are !!! Have a good one all !! 206 SEATTLE
Shine On You Crazy Diamante. Yes. I caught the Pink Floyd reference to Shine On You Crazy Diamond. Excellent.
I put stop leak in our 02 LeSabre power steering pump and it literally shelled the pump, scorched the pulley bearing and it got so hot it was glowing red and smoking, was pretty worried bout the car going up in flames, not to mention it heat warped the serpentine belt ad well, thank goodness I had an extra belt cause it snapped twenty miles from my home, and I was able to limp the car home
Berryman transmission and power steering sealer saved my 2004 Nissan Murano from a trip to the junk yard. It`s been a year and still no leaks. Everyone will not have the same results, but that is mine with this product.
I died on SAMCRACKING it HAHAHAHA
Bluetooth funnel wins every time!
I love that 7.3 noise. Best diesel sound!
Somewhat off-topic, but anything new with the Xtreme?
I had a 1987 Plymouth Grand Fury back in the 90s that had a heavy radiator leak 20 miles from home. A bottle of Bars Leak and that radiator went to the scrapper a couple of years later with the car. No more leaks, no problems. And no more car either. 😜. But as always, your mileage may vary. I lucked out.
Would have been fun to see the Diamante get back to a good daily driver type car.
I had this exact same car in the exact same color..and had the exact same clearcoat fade on the top surfaces... it was a good car. And you are right.. u never see them anymore...once in a blue moon.
