I really loved it! It is so interesting to see common failures. I love auctions and I will remember that about the 6.7 . Thank you!

Enjoyed this one ,knowing what ,when.where and why helps picking through auctions. Good luck buying

Westen.... watching and listening to you dissect those vehicles is the most interesting part of these videos. I’m not an expert, but I have an enormous interest in the viability of purchasing vehicles that are both relatively new... AND ‘junked’ due to a Major (or undetermined) mechanical failure. For other mechanics it might be boring... but for someone like myself that doesn’t have the years of experience learning the intricacies of modern vehicles... YOUR knowledge and ability to dissect those vehicles (especially the line of 1-ton pickups), is REALLY REALLY INTERESTING. PLEASE CONTINUE TO POST VIDEOS EXACTLY LIKE THE “AUCTION DAY” vid, focusing on the rapid diagnostics, truck by truck LIKE YOU DID AT THE MIDDLE AND END OF THIS VIDEO. THAT SHOWS OFF YOUR INTELLIGENCE AND KNOWLEDGE IN A WAY THATS RELEVANT TO PEOPLE LIKE MYSELF THAT WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THE MECHANICAL STATE OF ALL THESE USED PICKUPS FOR SALE. I CANT GAIN YEARS OF KNOWLEDGE WRENCHING IN A SHOP OR GOING TO EXPENSIVE TRADE SCHOOLS, SO WATCHING YOU DISSECT THOSE VEHICLES IS REALLY REALLY COOL. Keep up the vids and ignore the commenters that are trolling around trying to belittle your knowledge out of spite. Thanks bud keep it up!

232K subscribers yahooooo! So much fun with you guys at the Auction. Love hearing Garrett in the background. Don't be shy let's see you once in a while. Love this show so much.

It would be impossible for him to give an in depth answer on that. Every piece of equipment is different. If you ever decide you are going to buy a vehicle or piece of equipment, you should do in depth research on all of the problems that are specific to it ahead of time. Spending the time to do so will save you an incredible headache later.

Just you looking at the machines and saying " I know whats wrong with it," is a learning experience ! Spinning the alt on the bobcat, priceless!!!
