rev up your engines
blacksmith says hey I wonder when Scotty that's gonna be available and then JB
says poor old boy that's a joke no it is not a joke it is very serious working on
an app and now it's gonna take a while to get it up cuz it's not gonna be a
crappy app I'm not talking about small time guys they're talking about people
who know what they're doing sign up for it now and then when it's up you'll get
the information on it but we don't want to release something that's terrible
that is garbage like a lot of apps that I've seen happen I've even involved with
some apps that we're absolute garbage and this is not going to be it's gonna
be very good app it's not a joke have patience you have to wait for good
things better to wait for good things tend to get crap now that's what I say
QR says Scotty how do you think the complexities and even basic cars today
gonna affect the average person be able to afford to have cars down the road
yeah that's a big problem you know because as they age these complex cars
when they break a lot of people aren't gonna be able to fix them so like today
people love having a 67 Mustang Fastback right even though the thing is what 53
years old right you're not gonna get tires built today driving them 53 years
now I can guarantee you that who knows maybe we'll have electric cars I have no
idea what's gonna happen 50 years now but yeah the complexity there's a lot
harder to keep them over a longer period of time because of all the technology
like gasoline direct injection turbo charge small engines stops gonna wear
out costs a lot of money to fix and it's gonna be a much more expensive endeavor
than it was in the past mr. poppy said hey Scotty what is the new Ford Bronco
need to do to be successful well obvious it needs people to buy it
they're building a big one and a small one but they said the small ones gonna
come out before the big one I guess it's easier to make the small one then
they're gonna make the big one come out later who knows you know people like the
old Bronco and if it's got things that people want they would want power and
they would want in a small one a little bit better gas mileage probably than the
original ones what's your tremendous gas hogs still ask you vyas biggest type
thing even a small one the gas mileage is gonna be kind of the killer there if it
is decent to probably sell a bunch if it's a complete gas hog
well they're only gonna get the guy want big
broncos and don't care about gas mileage whose Mennonite says Scotty can you
take the thermostat out of a 250 cc engine it's too hot here in Pakistan
thermostats are to make a vehicle run at the correct
temperature as soon as possible they stay shot the hot water stays in the
engine until it gets hot enough turret that opens goes in the radiator and it
keeps it at that temperature if it gets too cool it'll shut down again so the
temperature of the engine always stays the same because the engine has to run
at a certain temperature but if you're in Pakistan it's hot all the time let's
say you take the thermostat off if it runs in the middle and you take the
thermostat out and it still runs in the middle it's not gonna hurt anything but
if it runs lower they're not made to run lower they have to run it at a certain
optimal temperature if engines run too cool they can actually ruin the bearings
inside the engine a lot of people don't know that but that's truth and I've been
explained by very good engineers that I know why so it is true it can damage the
engine running too cool but if you're in a hot place and even taking a thermostat
out it still stays in the middle yeah you can do that it won't hurt
rusty died says Mazdas very advanced technology what you thought I'd will
they hold up over time so likely get through a lot of oil okay when they
started to do them no they didn't hold up and one of the main reason was they
had a deal gone with Ford Ford Mazdas always have deals going on and they were
using a lot of these Ford variable valve timing cam assemblies and they had
problems with them they also problems with the cam faces on the Ford v8
engines they weren't built that well so the early SKYACTIV engines had engine
problems now the new ones have more of a relationship with Mazda and Toyota and
they are better made that said you got to see all that last I got a costumer
with a two-year old one he's happy with it he hasn't had any problems yet but
you know you want to see what happens when they get 100 something thousand
miles and if it's a proven technology yeah now I do have to say Toyota is now
using some of this Mazda engine technology they traded Toyota engine
technology for Toyota electrical knowledge so that they can make electric
cars because everybody's planning to make an electric car so hey we'll see so
far so good but it's only been a couple of years really so I'd wait on that one to
see what's happening five or six years down the line el globo says 95 Dodge
Caravan any thoughts $1,000 okay the caravans
were one of the worst van's ever made in history of
mankind but $1,000 if it runs and it shifts okay that's nothing for a vehicle
and if it lasts you six months that's okay and if you want say you drive it it
seems to go pretty good you want a van you can use on weekend but don't buy and
think you can move your kids around driving twenty thousand miles a year
it'll just bankrupt you transmissions are horrible in those Carvalho says 2012
Scion tC is it worth taking a look at yeah those are great vehicles I got
customers one I absolutely love as I always warn people we're looking at used
cars don't trust the people that are selling them do not trust them you want
a mechanic to check it out I do it all the time for people checking out used
cars and I can find anything that's wrong with them within an hour because
the modern scan computers do everything then while they're running their
diagnosis I look around the car measure stuff look at stuff smell stuff look for
leaks have a mechanic check out if he says it's good they can be great cars
I've seen those things with 250 250 thousand miles they're still running
strong jacy says what are your thoughts on a modern Dodge
Challenger with a Hemi engine they are screaming cars they are super super fast
for my experience with customers who bought them they don't hold up
well over time you don't want to buy a used one that beat out of them and
they're ready for the junkyard when some but he drives the heck out of them and
tries to sell they have very strong engines they're great engines if people
don't beat them and blow them up they have a lot of power and they can last if
you don't over-rev whole vehicle they generally have tendency of wearing out
cuz people beat the heck out of them and some of it is because they're really
being beaten and the other is it's still the Dodge and their quality controllers
and all that hot they're great ideas but no vehicle itself it's still just a
Dodge mass-produced poorly built car they're not down they rattle as they
aged and thought tronics go bad they're not the greatest they're fast
and fun if you got a lot of money buy a new one and have fun with it
Harrison Agra said my dad purchased an 04 Lexus rx330 225 miles is that engine
an interference engine well yes it is that's one of the rear Toyota
interference engines that a v6 the 300s weren't the 330s were but the three
fifties weren't that's the only one but I mean it's not like they have problems
just good a timing belt put on it you know to think about it for a long long
time I had a customer it's one of those and it had 350,000 and the belt had
never been changed and he's still driving it still hasn't broken so I mean
there are pretty well made vehicles but it is an interference engine only that
330 strangely enough Nicholas missoula says I got a Toyota Matrix 06 220
thousand miles runs great should I get a new transmission to get mine
refurbished well you said it runs great why would you now if you mean the engine
runs good but the transmissions going on you would want to get a rebuilt one from
a quality place guys that Rebuild them I'd say they're if they're iffy you want
it from a place that's in a factory that actually does it for a living that
really goes through them that specializes in Toyotas stuffs that's the
absolute best way to go or find a wrecked one low mileage wrecked one
because you know you got two hundred twenty thousand you find a wreck one
even with eighty thousand you can get used ones cheap enough I go that route
myself John Wayne says gee I thought he was dead
1999 subaru legacy 3.5 K or 2001 Subaru Outback 6k okay here's the thing about
Subarus ones 21 and once 19 years old do not buy any you Subaru with a
six-cylinder engines they do not hold up look at the four-cylinder once if at all
possible standard but I mean if you have to get an automatic take it to a guy
like me to check it out a good mechanic because he's gonna test the head gaskets
the four cylinders kind of had gasket problems to you baby I'm not like the
sixes but they still had problems you'd want him to check all that stuff and he
says it so can you get one cheap go ahead but don't even think about getting
the six-cylinder engines ones cuz those are horrible engines as they aged they
had all kinds of problems he just were not
well made they made a bigger for more power and it had many more problems
jamesy boy says my car drives to the left on its own I've had the wheels
bounce the new tires what could be wrong okay well you're not going to very good
guys balancing and doing stuff they should also check the alignment whenever
a car pulls to one side that means the alignment is off to some extent first
you have to realize that roads are all graded for rain if the roads weren't
graded when it rained a puddle up so you're grated to drain the rain all cars
generally will pull a little bit to the side that the drain of the road is so
that you don't worry about but if yours is pulled and go to a good alignment
shot and I know it's very hard to find good alignment chops because a lot of
the guys do alignments but they're not really good alignment shops they sell
tires and other stuff and they say they do alignments but the guys working there
really aren't that good at what they're doing it's hard to find him I bet it's
hard to find a good alarm shop I'm having problems here in Houston now
because I used to use cotton rollers and they stopped doing cars they're only
doing big 18 wheelers because they can make a lot more money doing it they've
always done that and they don't want to mess with little bitty cars making sixty
eighty ninety dollars each time when they're working on these big trucks
they're making thousands of dollars so I can't blame that but it's very hard to
find a good alignment job these days adjust yes but you need to find one
airplane guy 33 says speedometer isn't working my 95 Camry LE sedan okay it may
be old but it's not as old as you may think
that still has an electronic speedometer and so does my 94 Celica go to the
transmission there's a thing called the speed sensor if you can't figure out
where it is go to a place like autozone they can sell you the sensor cheaper
than a dealer they can also print you out a picture on your computer of
exactly where it is and if you want open your hood down they can point it and say
they're right there that's what you need to replace nine times out of ten that's
what it is now if it's the actual speedometer and odometer and the dash
those cost a ton in that case you go to a junkyard buy used dash for 50 bucks put
that in but normally it's the speed sensor because that's the only moving
part so that's generally what wears out
so if you never want to miss another one of my new car repair videos, remember to
