Rev up your engines, rod79 says scotty is a pornstar, well actually
it's kind of a funny story, I almost was once, when I was going to school at the University
of Illinois writing my PHD I had a picture of me sitting on James Dean and it was nationally
published in Easyrider magazine and I was sitting at my dorm room at the University
of Illinois and I get a phone call from Chicago, now this is about 3 hours away from Chicago
and this guy starts talking to me and he says, hey we want to star you in a pornmovie where
your touching the airline attendants, I'm not making this up,
I was let's see ah.., 22 years old at the time, and I said well you know I'm not really into that kind
of stuff but I could have been one maybe who knows,
Evan says my ex husband is giving me a 2003 Honda Odyssey is it a reliable vehicle?
No, those vehicles had one of the worst automatic transmissions ever made and some of them had
problems with the cams moving back and fourth because they weren't built right,
sounds like your ex husband is trying to pull a fast one on you and your not even married
to him anymore, those aren't very good vehicles, you don't want something like that, if you
get a choice go for a Toyota Sienna van those things can run forever but not those hondas
they weren't that well made, every customer I had that bought one of those never bought
another one, I have a 2008 acadia with 108,000 miles, it's
in good shape my mom replaced a lot on it, I'm thinking about trading it in for something
smaller like a toyota, is it worth it, well it is, but your going to have to pay more
money, no one is going to swap you even a toyota for something like that,
those thing only have a limited lifespan, it's got 108,000 miles, if you get a toyota,
they can go 300-400,000 miles if you take care of them,
it would be a smart move you know, your not going to get much for that acadia, it's 11
years old, I mean some guys will just say, I'll just drive it until the wheels fall off
and then do that you're going to get nothing for it, see if your trading that in what they
give you, if you don't care drive it and if it lasts
a few years great, and if the engine or transmission starts going out, then junk it then and get
another car, your not going to get much for it anyways, I mean I'm a big believer that
if you got something and it works, take care of it and drive it and then if it breaks get
something better the next time, but if your not going to get anything when
you sell it, drive it until the wheels fall off,
Gomez says I got a 2012 dodge durango v8 hemi, are they good vehicles, well the hemis are
great engines, I got nothing against them, they make very good engines, now their gas
hogs, you get horrible gas mileage in them their just gas hogs that's how they are, but
their very reliable well built engine that have a lot of power, unfortunately the rest
of the vehicle that that engine goes in isn't that great, they have ball joint problems,
they have automatic transmission problems as they age, but they are very good engines
I'll give them that, I tell the truth about stuff and they are good engines, I just wouldn't
buy the vehicle because the rest of the vehicle isn't as good as the engine,
JM says can a downstream oxygen sensor cause bad performance on a brand new catalytic converter,
if can if it's bad, the first oxygen sensor the one before the catalytic converter is
the one that has the most input, it tells the computer if the engine is running rich
or lean then it tells the fuel injectors how much fuel to spray in, the that mix is burned
and sent through the catalytic converter, then the one in the catalytic converter checks
to see if the catalytic converter is doing a good job,
if you had a bad catalytic converter, say it burnt up from oil burning, that oil burning
can ruin the oxygen sensor on that converter and give bad data, so if you change the catalytic
converter and it was really crudded up inside I would change that oxygen sensor that's on
it too and pray that's the only thing that does it because you have to realize that catalytic
converters and oxygen sensors are part of a very complex computer run system that measures
left over oxygen in your exhaust gas and it monitors it and then it tries to make it go
richer or leaner by changing how the fuel injectors spray fuel into the engine, it's
a very complicated system and even a professional mechanic sometimes it could take them days
to figure out what's wrong with the system, you try the simple things first and always
use OEM don't buy some cheap bosch fits all oxygen sensor, get one that fits your car,
scotty what's the best way to replace the inner boot on a CV axle, you got a cv axle
there's an inner boot and there's an outer boot and there's a drive shaft in between,
to replace the inner boot you got to take the whole shaft off, take it off and take
it all apart, put another boot on, but you got to take it apart anyways, the aftermarket
cv axle assemblies the whole things you could usually get for $59-79, aftermarket ones that
work perfectly fine, I've been buying them for decades from autozone and I never got
a bad one, they've all been great, the fit and work perfectly fine and I've never had
one break and had to replace it again, you mind as well buy the whole thing and then
everything is new, why bother with just changing the boot because the boot is going to cost
you $30-40 then you got to take it all apart and you got to pray that it isn't worn because
the boot is ripped and the grease leaked out, just replace the whole axle and you get everything
new and you don't have to think about it, that's what all mechanics do these days,
so if you never want to miss another one of my new car repair videos, remember to ring
that bell!
