rev up your engines, Rossy says I got a 06 Chrysler PT Cruiser 123 thousand miles
the computer most of the time it won't shift gears a bunch of warning lights
I can't even drive it, definitely get rid of
the stupid thing I mean it's a 06 cruiser 123 thousand miles it's worth
practically nothing and from my experience of working on my customers
cars that's the time to get rid of them before you start throwing a bunch of
money into a useless pile of junk that just falls apart in front of your very
eyes they were horrible vehicles they looked cool and originally they sold the
heck out of them cuz they're like mini gangster cars they were kind of
cool-looking right but they were made like garbage head gasket problems
automatic transmission problems air conditioning problems in your case
computer failure problems and they'll never be worth anything 14 years old now
hopefully you had a few years and got some of your money out of it just get
rid of then get yourself a Toyota Honda and forget ever buying another Chrysler
product because if you think of 2006 ones bad that was before Fiat owned Chrysler
so now Fiat owns them they are even worse pop
sports says how hard is it to program the key for a 16 Ford Focus do I have to take
it to the dealer first thing you do whenever you do any of those keys it's
called around in your area to professional locksmiths these days a lot
of locksmiths some of their biggest profit things is doing keys for cars and
trucks because the dealers generally mess with you it's a good market for these
locksmiths I had a customer that was gonna go to the dealer with a Prius and
they wanted over $1000 he had lost his key to do it reprogram the car I sent it
to a locksmith really nice Pakistani American dude he did the whole thing for
375 so you want to call in your area real locksmiths that do that kind of
stuff because let's face it they don't have the overhead of a dealer and so
they can do things a lot lower price and still make a profit because they can buy
those keys for twenty thirty forty dollars a lot of times and then they
just have to program them and if they have the equipment to program go that
route don't start at the dealer you're not gonna be able to just go to a
hardware store like yesterday did a key made for those things no but a lot of
lots must do that stuff call around Austin Burke asks I got an 05 civic
automatic the RPM is really high till it shifts what could be the problem pray
you're low on floor check the fluid but odds are the transmissions starting to
wear out that's how Honda's wear out if you find that you just drive normally it
goes real high rpms until it shifts and when it starts getting high rpms if
you take your foot off the gas and then it shifts that means the transmission is
breaking down internally pretty typical I see that as they age it's got a lot of
mileage on it that's what's happening but I mean you can try changing fluid
the filter doesn't really even have ones my experience with those take your foot
off the gas that shifts earlier that means the transmission starting to go,
Jake Duncan he says I got a 2008 regular cab tacoma no rust 148 thousand miles i
dream about getting a new or own but here's some problems with some of them
should i sell it and upgrade it or should i just drive mine till it's over
three hundred thousand miles well you kind of answered your question the end
there, yeah just keep driving it those things can run it awful long time I've
seen ones that are 35 years old and they're still running good even at that
age they still run really well keep what you got but thanks for solid built they
can last an awful long time as long as you're not having any serious problems
with it don't overheat the engine who knows how long that thing's gonna last
though I'm thirty money out now you already got one it still works perfectly
fine yes that is there's no rush so just keep driving it, homie g6 says Scotty
I got a 95 Ranger two-wheel drive five-speed shakes when I go over 65
change the brake rotors tires and still shake some people said it could be a
bent driveshaft or suspense here is the first thing that you start out with yes
go to a very good front-end alignment shop have them check your alignment
because it's not all that common but I'd say that three or four out of every
hundred cars I see that shake like that and all that stuff has been done it was
that the alignment was off it can be that your alignment is off and it was shaking
certain speeds it's not all that common but it does happen so you want to start
there, if it's not that it's a ranger so it's rear-wheel drive you got a big old drive shaft
with u-joints if your u joints are worn it's gonna be wobbling around have a guy
check the driveshaft is pretty easy Jack it up turn and see if it's bad or see if
your joints are worn that can do that too but sometimes it's an alignment it's
not all that common but I've seen it and I'd often fools people when they think
well I put new tires and stuff but if they didn't do the alignment the
alignment is off it can make them shake a certain speeds
artic says what are your thoughts on 1982 Datsun 720 pick up my Nissan's were
called Datsuns back in the day those things could run for ever I had
customers with those things they go through the washing machine they'd been
through hurricanes here in Texas and they were still going down the road now
they weren't racing vehicles but it was the standard transmission they were fast
enough and they weren't giant f150 that could haul tons of stuff haul enough
stuff for a truck that size they were actually back in the day kind of running
neck-and-neck with the Toyota little pickup trucks they were well-made pickup
trucks one another why a later one Renault it took over the company but
that wasn't until 2000 back in 82 those things are solid if you're thinking
about buying one now and it is not rusted go ahead they can be great
vehicles, random Dave I got an 08 Jeep Patriot with 121 thousand miles I've had
it since sixty thousand miles I'm not sure if the manual fluid has
ever been changed way I definitely change its manual transmissions our
splash lubrication there's just gears and they splash
around and definitely change it you don't want dirty stuff and it's not all
that important you want to do it every once in a while to keep the dirt out but
an automatic transmission the fluid dynamics are what make it actually
shifts so yeah on a manual transmission definitely you want to change that
through what's not gonna hurt anything if it's been in there a long time and if
it has been in our a long time it will wear things out over years of getting
the seals dirty and gears dirty and the fluids cheap is easy to do too
