rev up your engines, Brandon says Scotty what's your
opinion on the 1999 Lincoln Navigator luxury edition, okay if you want
hey big giant SUV, hey they can be decent vehicles, just the other night Tuesday
uploaded a video about the brand new expedition which is pretty much like
that, Platinum Max that gets 23 miles a gallon on
the highway, it's a v6 but its EcoBoost it's got 450 horsepower, if you want a
big giant vehicle and you don't care that much about in town gas much because
they all get horrible gas mileage in town, they're big and heavy and you can't get
out of that, they can be good but it's old it's 99 so you know the thing is
what's 20 years old, you don't want to pay a whole bunch of money for a 20 year
old car you know, it's in decent shape go ahead and buy it and especially if
you're not driving a lot of mileage, you don't worry about the cash mileage if
you're not driving it very much, I got many older customers driving it and they said I
don't really care, we drive two thousand miles a year, we don't care what the price of gas is,
I don't blame them either, hey they're older so what do they care, bourbon hitman says, what
do you think of small SUVs like Captur or Juke, I'm thinking about buying one
because of crappy roads, but I'm not sure of the overall reliability, okay if you want to
buy those, you can buy them new and keep them 100,000 miles or less and they'll
probably be trouble free, but with those again I would warn people road test
them first, see if you'd like how they ride because a lot of small was like the
Jude, they ride pretty crappy and you might not like the way that they ride
you know you're better off with a Toyota or Honda, then you are with those cheaper
made ones, but if you don't mind the way they ride and you're gonna buy a new one
go ahead and buy one if you're only gonna drive it for a certain period of
time, they won't last to 300,000 miles like a Toyota Honda, but
they can last for a hundred thousand miles and people don't care if they feel
that's fair, flavor for you says, Scotty I'm afraid to do a transmission fluid flush
on a 2010 BMW with a hundred thousand miles, yeah you'd be very smart to fear
flushing that, BMWs one they use a very special fluid that
only the BMW dealer sell and there's such evil swine's
I tried to get some and he said, Oh Scotty we can't sell you any in a quart because
we're not a reseller and we buy them in 50 gallon drums and you have
to buy a drum and pay us you know $1500, I
said oh I'll send them to you, you guys are a bunch of crooks anyways, never flush your
BMW anyways, because it can damage it you, would just drain and refill and you have
to use their fancy fluid, and if it's never been done, I would definitely do it
now, but I would just drain and fill I would not flush, Bride says
question, it is true some mechanic treat cars that are clean better, I
don't know maybe some anal neat freaks do, I treat them all the same you
know, sometimes people get mad at me and say, oh you don't treat those cars like
babies, they're not babies the freaking machines I fix them for a living you know
they're not babies, you know you put baby powder on them, their machines you know, you
fix them that's all there is to it, sometimes you have to use force
sometimes you don't, but yeah what a lot of it comes down to is, some mechanics
they have customers that all have really expensive cars, charge them a fortune so
they make a point of never getting the car dirty and a lot of them, they will
wash and polish the car before they give it back to the customer, me it's like a hey,
when they come and they say, I'm sorry my car's dirty, I said I don't care if it's
covered with bird crap you know, it makes no difference to me, it's your car I'm
just gonna fix it, and I'd rather have a dirty car because it might get dirty while
I'm working on it, you're better off to clean it after I fix it than before,
Stephanie Ramon says, I have a Honda Civic LX 2005,
it makes a loud metal to metal sound, well I need a little more description to figure
out what it is, whenever you have a sound you have to decipher where is that sound
coming from, if it's metal to metal in the engine, that's bad news that means
your engine is wearing out or something like your water pump is breaking and that will rattle
so you have to decipher where the noise is coming, from hopefully it'll make it
when it's just sitting there idling so you can open the hood or Jack it up
crawl under it, if it isn't it only makes it when you're driving, I have a video for
that that's, called how to find the source of noises in your car watch then
that'll show you how you can find where they're coming from
you have to pinpoint it first, Anika's Winfield says, Scotty my friend has a 98
Ford Explorer, his top brake light works but the sides don't, fuses are ok and bulbs are good,
please help, so what you want to do with the side ones is check the ground, a lot
of times the ground wires go bad back there and they
don't send ground wires to the back ones, also realize that there's a separate
circuit, one powers the third light and the other powers the brake lights, so
check the wiring going inside the trunk there, to see if something has knocked
them off, a lot of times somebody will hit something golf clubs or something and
knock that wire off or split the wires, so check inside the trunk because the
top part is working so your brake switch is working, but you got to check all the
wiring go to those back ones, so if you never want to miss another one of my new
car repair videos, remember to ring that Bell!
