rev up your engines Jacka Falls says MSN just
posted on their webpage the most reliable cars at 2019 not sure what to
make it looks fishy some are okay some are strange and how can you do
reliability on a one year old vehicle yeah you know you got a great point there
realize that these big corporations like Microsoft they take advertisements for
many companies and some of the stuff looks ok and some of it indeed is very
fishy you got a point how can you talk about reliability of a
car that hasn't been even out a whole year just a few months
that's silly that's plain silly there's just too much corruptness in this world
to believe what any large corporation is gonna tell you about products that other
large corporations build that's wholly common sense I mean I've seen some of
these car guys saying that oh this jeep is one of the best cars of the year
better than the Toyotas and yada yada yada watch it's a bunch of made-up
nonsense so don't ask mechanics like me that kind of question your own
mechanical if you got an honest mechanic and they'll tell you what's real and what
isn't real and of course don't go to somebody who just specializes in Jaguars
cuz they're gonna tell you check bunch of great cars cuz that's how they make a
living so use your noggin when it comes to that don't believe half of the stuff
that you read on the internet or in the papers if anybody even reads the papers
anymore these days, it's Suzuki Scotty I I got a 93 nissan sentra from the
original owner with only twenty five thousand miles
I changed the tires the brake lines are a little furry well that's rust they're
starting to rust and that's dangerous said it was from Chicago area you don't
want to take a chance look we're the ones are really bad and if you see
they're all really bad personally look aftermarket and see if you can find all
of the brake lines for the vehicle and just buy them in a set where you can
unbolt them and both depend or pay a mechanic to build all new lines we
mechanic's can get raw brake line and replace it off because you don't want
damaged winter when they look like that and are fluffy it means they're rotting
away in one day you might slam on the brakes and you get killed because they
won't stop at all so that is definitely something you'd want to fix
right away you want to take a chance with brake systems
middle says Scotty I got an 08 Chevy Malibu recently had the transmission
rebuild on 137 thousand miles cuz of the wave plate cracking car drives
great but under great acceleration any transmission shifts hard you can feel a
jerk why is it doing this well it's doing it cuz they didn't fix it right obviously
I see that all the time with GM products but they all have software updates if
that was updated take it to GM have them updated now if that doesn't fix it take
it back to whoever rebuilt and so you didn't rebuild this thing right look
make a video of it so they can't say oh we can't replicate it make a video of it
doing it and don't accept your car back until they either fix it or they give
you all your money back and then you either live with it or get it fixed somewhere
else maybe you won't live with it but yeah that transmission rebuilt shouldn't
jerk like that if it does the guy did not fix it right or he didn't do the
software update when he fixed it that's part of fixing an automatic transmission
these days the guys have to have the computer knowledge too and the equipment
so that they can go to the GM website and download the software anybody can do
it that wants to pay for the software and then put the software in a computer
so do exactly as I said pray it just as a software update, Mazda 92 says I got a
Mazda Protege 92 DX manual transmission first and only owner
engine replaced a few weeks ago overall the transmission was done now the engine
only comes on when I drive for a while and the engine will die well first of
all whoever you had to do that work take it back to him
the man didn't fix it you take an engine out or transmission out there's so many
things that can go wrong when you do that work I've seen a lot of guys mess
it up now it's a 92 manual transmission DX why on earth are you putting all that
money into that car it's really not worth it that car is worth practically
nothing I wouldn't even go any further with it myself but take it back to
whoever worked on it he screwed something up, rock asked does changing
front and rear struts make significant difference to the ride handling I got to
use 2009 Camry last year it has 80k lately it's more bouncy well of course
it does if you use quality parts like say you get KYB or the Toyota original
strut replacements to put in at two thousand nine eleven years old it should
ride a lot smoother now here's something I gotta warn people because I see it all the
time on the other hand if you car runs ok
rides ok and you go out buy the cheapest strut you can sometimes it'll ride worse
and you put the cheap struts on, I had a guy years ago and he said this thing's
riding like crap I looked at it said where your struts are no good he says
I just had them changed last year at Sears and I told him I said well that's your
problem I said you went to Sears and they just
went and bought the cheapest struts they could get their hands on and they were
just garbage so you gotta buy good ones but if it is bouncing around a lot
really it doesn't matter if they're not leaking you said they're not leaking but
they just wear out and they can't take the pressure right and instead of going
when you take them off you probably find they go wrong and their easier to move
and then they're just worn out once you take them off you can see if they're bad
or not, SVT Scotty I got an 02 SVT lightning with 69 thousand miles
Wow seventeen years old than 69,000 miles that's really something you know
make sure it's the real mileage what should I look I want to keep it to the
future its garage kept mostly for Sunday driving I keep it a hundred miles a
month you're hardly driving it also change the oil and you know once a year
something you need to do check all the other fluids it is 17 years also change
the coolant used a long life coolants use the long life coolant you got to change
like every seven years or a hundred thousand miles
then you don't have to think about it for a
really long time and since it is 17 years old just keep
buying all the rubbers parts always just the brake lines to make sure that the
rubber seals aren't breaking the leaking out but with that mileage and you drive
only a hundred miles a month should last you a really long time they are fun to drive
too, so if you never want to miss another one
