Short-Short Cargo Van from Cocoa Beach, T1N 2006 Sprinter CHEAP & Troubled Win for Rolling Realtor
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
This episode of Rolling Realtor we find a work van in Cocoa Beach. It needs a little help, but it starts right up and runs that a deer. A rattling deer with parts falling off, but a deer none-the-less. The windshield rust is too much for our potential buyer to bite on this one. But the price was right so we struck a deal to take it home with us. I handed over the cash and signed the title... Then it wouldn't start!!! Turns-out, the a/c compressor seized up and was making it very difficult to turn the motor. Once started... well, you'll see...
This van will be spruced up and for sale in January 2021.

“Looks like it was used for hauling mud” had me Lol. Re tightening down bolts to spec u say to camera, you all know how to do that so I’m guessing it’s covered in one of your other videos. I look forward to checking that out.

We use the torque wrench in the transmission video. I think one of them talks about how to set it up but that is an excellent video idea. Most of them I see are too big for what we are doing, and some folks have never used one. That you for the idea.
As always, I VERY MUCH appreciate all of the information!!! I need to add a new belt to my on board emergency kit
I bet that heavy thing loaded in and out was a big gas pipe machine or a generator. When I worked for a plumber I always was stuck loading up those 2 things solo and would bang up the side step and bumper all the time haha! Although I’m not sure about gas pipe machine because I’m in IL and do FL homes even use natural gas??
I always respect a man with strong oil covered hands,
Love ur clip of the guy chasing a runaway van. We must see of ur finished product Doktor.
Congrats on the new van!! Love the shorty lines. Looking forward to more shorty videos!
How much did you pay?

I stole it. The asking price was low because it hadn't been run in a few years and was abandoned because it wouldn't start. The only reason it started for the test drive was because the belt was wet and sliding easily on the seized a/c compressor.

@@andersfuchs9209 The T1N Sprinters are all 14 years old or more, so the bodies are tired and beaten. But I think we have less rust than northern vans.
