rev up your engines just wise says do you like the
1999 nsx oh yeah they're cool vehicles super expensive now the new
ones are getting into the supercar situations that the 99s were great cars
that was you know acura but honda owns the company it's honda and honda has
always been an excellent engine company and they put all their high-tech stuff
in those cars now that isn't the car that you buy and drive every day it's a
high-tech car parts cost a lot of money but they are fun cars to drive their
real screamers and like I say the newer ones they're kind of getting in the
supercar formulations and the price is well over hundred grand
they're getting to be supercar prices too so they're not what the old ones
used to be the price of those older ones are starting to rise and rise from what
I've seen because people are realizing that they were good cars well-made and
so people are paying more for used ones Pete Stanhope says is an 05
Ranger with a 2.3 4-cylinder good truck thanks if it was taken care of yes it
could be a very good truck the Rangers were good trucks there are some other
truck but they were solid made trucks those are solid made four-cylinder
engines now with that you really might be much better with the standard
transmission because they were much more reliable and as they age there's less
problems to think about the automatic transmission was the weakest point of
the Ranger pickup trucks and if that's the standard it's a great truck now if
you own one or you're gonna buy one it's an automatic have a transmission guy check
it out before you buy it because of the transmissions going out don't buy it or
if you really wanted to get one to keep it forever swap it out put a standard
transmission in instead of the automatic and then it could last forever,
Quincy out says Scotty what's the best vehicle to use on moving truck van or
SUV well it depends where you moving and when your moving of course the van is
the best all around because it's enclosed if
it's raining under snow and are you crap isn't gonna get wet you know my thing
about moving is the best thing is just wrap one run a big truck and get a
diesel pay the extra for the diesel because the diesels get better gas mileage
I rented one once a Uhaul I made a mistake I was a dumb kid and I rented
a gasoline one and that thing got three miles a gallon
we're the equivalent diesel would get about ten so you're gonna use a lot less
fuel if you go in any distance any kind of truck or van
diesel don't get a gasoline because the diesels use a lot less fuel than
gasoline when they're pulling heavy weights TK ma rescue says how exactly
does the CVT transmission work well they're constantly variable so what it
is this some have drums and change some of belts but what it does is it keeps
the engine for each speed going at just the right rpm to have the maximum amount
of power and fuel economy at the same time so you don't have gears that are
all shift and if you got a gear it'll go a certain speed in the gear and then
it's going RPMs are too high and it's got a shift on goes to the next gear so
to get really good gas mileage and power you need a lot of gears that's why
Ford's got that 10 speed in a new Mustang but the CVT transmissions they
are always at the best range the way that they're designed they don't have
the power you often lose a reasonable amount of power they don't have as much
acceleration but they do get better gas much without having to have all these
gears inside so of course they are also cheaper to manufacture which is one of
the big reasons that they use them in a lot of vehicles they're cheaper to make
so the cheaper to make I think it better gas mine yes what they're gonna use CVT
transmissions, Rockoff Sharma says how important is it to get to EGR valve
clean I have to check engine light on because there are the funds to get it
fixed it's not that hard to clean it I mean there's two bolts holding the mine
take them off and a lot of times you'll see there's a bunch of carbon inside and
you can clean it out and do it yourself if it's clogged behind the valve going
into the intake you can do what I'm not even if a video minor you get an old
speedometer cable and get a grinder you can sharpen one end put the other end in the
drill feed it through the hall and then run
the drill and that's just like reaming crud out of your sewer system it'll mean
the carbon out and then it will suck the air that's the easy way to do rather
than tearing a hole intake manifold that costs a fortune you can easily do that
stuff yourself if you want to now if your car runs okay and it's got that
light to the EGR generally isn't gonna really hurt anything but if it stopped
open a lot of times then it's wide open and it'll run bad cuz it's sucking too
much air when it's idling in which case you want to fix it right away
you don't want to leave that but if it's running okay I've had people even for
years that way especially in places where they don't do emissions testing
when they check cars, general joe says why does my f-150
2012 keep blowing the AC fan resistor alright if it keeps blowing the AC fan
resistor then either your blower motor is going out its straining it too much
overheats it let it melt or you got a problem the wiring system it could be
either way if the wires are either corroded and they're touching something
or all the connectors in the system when they snap in take them all apart and
look if they're green and corroded that means that they're gonna get hot because
the corrosion takes more power it overheats them and then it can burn out
it's stupid little resistor assembly so you want to check all that but most of
the time if the wires look good it's that the motors going out and it'll keep
going to resistor cuz it's draining it too much by draining too much power out
of it but do check all those connectors too especially if you have a really key
windshield water leaked inside, Timothy Horine says ATP 205 used for
rubber wiper blades yes it's a very good use for rubber wiper blades the rubber
is relatively soft and it'll get eaten up by all the corrosion and our polluted
atmosphere and dirt and rocks and everything that is a good way to
rejuvenate the rubber you put it on paper towel like those blue ones I use
that are soft enough and wipe it a bunch of times you see it'll get black just
keep doing it until it doesn't get black anymore and that actually does make them
last as long as possible it's a good system the 8205 is great for
rejuvenating any kind of rubber and they're made out of rubber and it
rejuvenates them a very good idea to do that so if you never want to miss another one
