rev up your engines jason says
Scotty are Walmart tires good particularly the general brand you gotta
check something on tires you know what that is where are the things made you
gotta check where they're made if they're in China my advice don't buy the
things the quality control there is terrible for tires so if there ain't
China don't buy it look on it by law they gotta say on the tire somewhere where
they're made they say made in China don't buy them buy somewhere else
they don't make them that well I accidentally got a set of tires I
thought they were good tires cuz they had a good name but it were made in
China and my wife kept getting flat tires and I finally looked at the fire
prince at mainshine I threw them all off and I put on some Goodrich tires and I
never had problems with them getting flats anymore so, tempos says knowing the
fact that 1.5 turbo Honda engines have issues is a Honda CRV with the 2.4
engines still good yes if I was gonna buy CRV that's what I would buy they're
good cars those who tried and trued engines that go Toyota and Lexus they've
got a few turbos but they're not pushing it they're not pushing the turbos that
much and I think they're making a smart move not pushing the turbos all that
much you could have problems things are gonna wear out faster Honda's got a bad
reputation with these engines now for the oil dilution problem Toyota it
doesn't people are gonna gravitate more towards Toyota if Honda has those
problems Toyota made a smart move there and Honda made a mistake new 180 a 2010
Ford Focus SE two-point 170,000 miles I notice the cars getting warmer as I
Drive around town if you find that you drive around town the temperature gauge
is getting warmer than in Houston but you go on a highway and it runs exactly
the same then odds are your cooling fans aren't working right have them test it
out it could be the cooling fan it could also be that you're low on coolant
because one year low on coolant and you're just driving in town you need
really efficient when you're just driving in town stop and go stop and go
but when you're going 60 miles an hour on a highway you got 60 mile an hour
winds so even if you're low on coolant you got so much wind blowing through
that the radiator works okay so those basically are the two main things that
you'd want to check on that, Marcus Johnson says a Scotty's a 2015 Lexus NX
200t you're gonna be able to but I like Lexus but the problem is that's a
four-cylinder one with the turbocharger but you know that's only a four year old vehicle
that the futures gonna bring you got a turbocharged engine they generally wear
out faster now I drove in him I liked him my wife liked riding around I don't
when I'd road test them and she said gee it's nice bod she even she did say I
like my old 18 year old v6 Lexus better change the oil on you got a
four-cylinder turbo engine don't listen to what anybody says I would change the
oil every 5,000 miles using full synthetic oil I wouldn't push it lewd
Romero Scotty I got a no.3 Chrysler Town and Country 189 thousand miles has a
coolant link but don't want to put another radiator on if it's an age
should I just fix it or get rid of it okay well I can get it right here for
one of those things for about a hundred bucks they make him in shine and they
work perfectly fine watch my video on how to replace radiators maybe ready
around yourself what the heck there's nothing wrong with doing that you know
as for the rest of the vehicle yeah they're endless money pits the 17 year
old Chrysler Town and Country van one of the biggest money pit vans ever made in
the history of mankind so you might just fix it and get rid of
it, mark 2018 says Scotty there's small rust spots and body panels in my car
will it spread well of course it will rust is like cancer once it starts it
starts spreading and mostly it goes from the inside out so once you see those
rust holes that part has to be completely either cut off drilled out so that it's
bare metal around it and then filled with fiberglass and stuff filler and and
shined again and filler until it looks perfect if you really want a perfect job
or if it's one particular founder just rip the fender I'll put another fender
on I have it painted that's the only way you can fix it now if you don't want to
keep the car long you could do bondo and stuff over the top of it and paint it
leave it be it'll come rust and through in a year or two or three for sure
that's just how rust is don't think there's a magic thing where you can fix
rust by covering it up it's still gonna be rusted inside man he says I want to
get a 66 Imperial or 76 78 Lincoln Continental Town Car as a daily driver
one I think you're crazy cuz those are old cars no even on 78
Lincoln that's a really old car in a 66 Chrysler Imperial is even older those
old cars they're not really made for daily drivers they're so old unless
they've been completely done over because I mean you got something as dumb
as the rear main oil see a little bitty thing in the back of the engine to keep
the oil from coming out of the back where the flywheel is
well that's going to be rotten and any card unless all engine is done over and he
got to pull the transmission of the engine out to replace it and there's
lots of parts like that in old cars they don't make good daily drivers unless
you're buying one that's been completely done over and everything with the engine and
transmission, brakes, hoses everything possibly going around and most guys
don't do that and the guys that do generally they don't use them as daily
drivers they use them as show cars I've had customers that tried that daily
drivers and they all kick themselves years later I said we'd never do it again,
Paul Bednar says Scotty I've been a technician for over 40 years and
basically telling the same stories I hear on your channel it's pretty funny
some people listen don't learn anything well that's not surprising these days a
lot of people they don't listen to anything they don't listen to what
people are telling them they don't listen to advice from experts it's just
like in one ear and out the other you've been working on this almost as long as
maybe 40 years I've been doing a 51 my whole thing is I just tell the truth to
people and if it goes in one ear and out the other
too bad like last year I told this guy who was a young lawyer kind of explained
a lot and I said whatever you do don't go out by Jaguar well he went out bought
a Jaguar and guess what the things falling apart on him and he's whining
when I tell him what it cost to fix these things he really made a mistake
about a news Jaguar be honest and help people they'll listen well
