rev up your engines, Jason says I've driven military Humvees
before and I swear they're designed to break down, not surprising the civilian
version is no different, go back to the Germans in World War two everybody says oh
the Germans and their tanks the tiger tanks and the Panther tanks and they
were great tanks and designed for killing, yes but they were terrible
tanks for a long life, I was reading a biography of a tank commander, he said
every hundred kilometers the things were falling apart and they had to take them
in and they were really hard to fix cuz the
Germans make their technologies not for fixing just for just so you can build it high
tech and you could swap out the tracks on a
American tank real fast, some of those German tanks it would take day and a half
to swap the tank treads out and they need
all kinds of equipment to do it with yeah it's not surprising that anything
military breaks down earlier, I mean it's not surprising at all, but it's nothing
like some of those tanks did in world war 2
they couldI barely get out of their own way before something would
break on them, they didn't think about going hundreds of thousands of miles
they thought about maybe going hundreds of miles before they broke, Radames 24 or
what brand of rotors in your opinion if you don't go factory, there's plenty of
brands rotors out there, now here's the thing if you've got just a conventional
car, say you got a Toyota Corolla and you can buy their top line pads which are
good pads are gold ceramics, thirty bucks or something like that and buy just that
run-of-the-mill rotors because it's little car it's light and there's Chinese
rotors for the light cars work perfectly fine, say you got a bigger car like an
f-150 truck, then you want to get higher quality rotors because there's more
weight, more strain as you step on your brakes the entire kinetic energy of your
vehicle is turned into heat, you want good once in the case of ford motor
craft makes good ones, there's quite a few actually really good
one, those bigger vehicles I wouldn't go with the Chinese aftermarket ones if
you're planning on keeping a vehicle because I've seen people that have them and
they warp and wear out faster, their not dangerous or anything but they just wear
out faster because it's a lower quality steel, trickster says Scotty I got an 03
Acura TL, it won't hold in alignment at all a few days and it's off,
new rack and ebay suspension kit, seems to be
a bad camber problem
but it's all new parts, okay what you want to do is you gotta bite the bullet
on that and find an excellent front end alignment mechanic, because things can be off a
few thousandths of an inch and cause that, if you're in Houston I use
cotton Brothers I've used them for four decades, they know their stuff and I have
always found they could find anything wrong with a car because they're experts
on it, there's something wrong in your front end, and the alignment guys aren't doing
their job right, because their job isn't just to align your car correctly, their
job is to first check everything, they got a load test the bearings and low
test ball joints to see if anything is worn, so they can see, is there anything
worn first before I align it, if a guy just goes and puts on the alignment machine
and turn some screws, sets the toe in and pull out, and says it's aligned that's
wrong, they gotta check everything first, Firefox mo says I got an f-150 with a
five-speed manual tranny, sometimes it doesn't want to go in gear at a stop, thought
it might be a slave cylinder, however it's not leaking fluid, could it be
something else, well if you want to pray that it's the
master cylinder, just change the clutch master cylinder, because on that design
that's a really terrible modern design, where the slave cylinder is inside the
transmission, on most other cars the slave cylinder bolts on outside of the
transmission, pushes the rod in and out to open and close the plates the fingers
on the plate, well on those they decide on the
stupid race design where the slave cylinder is built inside the
transmission, you got to pull the transmission off to change it, you might as well
change the whole clutch kit and the slave cylinder, because that's such an
expensive job change all the parts out, so change the master first and pray it's
the master, cuz that's an easy job that can be done in 40 minutes,
Phillip Boehner says hi Scotty just a shout-out never, change we love you just
the way you are too much fun, well yeah I am having fun and where else can somebody

YouTube, but oh I got response from people in China saying, well we have this
particular set up and we got YouTube, so hello to China to you people that are sneaking
YouTube in China, so if you never want to miss another one of my new car repair
