rev up your engines, ship wreck says Scotty have you seen the guys making funny
videos of you, I normally don't have any time to watch other people's videos, but
every once awhile I look at them and most of them are pretty crappy they're
not funny, I've seen a few of it were hilarious and I did laugh at them, but I mean
and people do you swear words and just stupid music but most of them are
just dumb, but I've seen a few of them where the guys would dress up like me and they
were relatively funny, hey I got a sense of humor I'm not Donald Trump if
somebody makes a funny thing about me, I will laugh my rear end off if I think it's
funny, but most of them are sadly just poorly made they're not all that good
but I've seen a few of them that were pretty funny, Dom says
Scotty I want to buy a 95 BMW 3 Series, I hear they're very reliable not much
electronics is that true, well even a 95 has a lot of electronics on it I mean
it's got electronic fuel injection, electronic ignition, even the air
conditioning system is electronic control, but back in 95 the 3-series BMW's were
better made, there's no arguing that, I still got customers driving them around
the ones that really take care of that vehicle, but realize it's a very old
vehicle, if you're thinking about buying one, don't buy one if it's got you know over
200,000 miles on it, it's gonna wear out cost you a fortune, but if you can find
one it's got a hundred thousand miles or so and you can get it cheap enough go
right ahead, just realize they have no resale value
so don't pay a whole bunch of money for them, and don't believe anything the
owners tell you about them, because everybody always lies about, oh here's
the mileage it's never been in a wreck, you want to do a little research from any of
those research companies like Carfax to see if it's been wrecked, flooded, stolen
see if it's the real mileage, before you put on any money on an old car like that,
Anthony Martinez says is a Chevy El Camino a good project car from the
eighties, are they good quality easy to work on or even a Dodge Rampage, oh don't get a
Dodge Ramage, but yeah those el Caminos are great cars to work on
they got simple chevy parts, my son's got one in Nashville somebody, one of the houses that he rents
the guy just left it there, so they took it, since you don't
need state inspections every year, you can just drive around forever and if you
keep fixing them, you want to fix them, those car truck station wagon combo
if you do get one get a v8 though, the v8's are the ones that are worth money, the sixes yeah
and slow but the v8, those are the ones that
you want to get if you wanted to get one, Zig says Scotty I got an O8
expedition it jerks when easily cruising between 40 and 50 like it doesn't know
what gear to go into, when hard accelerating it's smooth what's going on
well your transmission has a problem, that's just typical it's what an 11 year
old expedition and transmission is always the first thing to go on those,
you might want to try changing the filter and fluid it might help it a
little bit, give it a try, but since it only does it between 40 and 50 it's the
transmission, if you had like an engine problem, ignition coil or something, it
would do it at all same RPMs than any gear but if it only
does it at that speed in that gear and it's like hunting for gear it's the
transmission starting to go out, a lot of guys just baby them and they live with it
because to rebuild that transmission is an awful lot of money, do it right, there's a
lot of guys that are liars and they'll say, I can rebuild it for you know nine hundred
dollars, then they take it apart and by the time you're done it's more like four
thousand dollars, Danny Martinez so Scotty what do you think about BG
products and services, well you know they are very good cleaners, I used to
use BG cleaners all the time, but then they got really hard to find, for a while
I did a little research on the company and for a while they were only selling
it to mechanics they wouldn't sell it to people on the street, I guess they're now
selling back on the street but they make very good cleaners as an example, I had a
customer had a Toyota Corolla that had 300,000 miles and I know the fuel injectors
weren't working right because it didn't run right when I hooked up my fancy
scan tool, I could see that injectors weren't working right, so he said well I
got this BG cleaner, I says let's put it in, well we put it in and he drove it a
couple hundred miles and he came back he says it runs like clock now, I drove it
around and it was, so they do make some pretty good products, BG it's just hard
to find them, when I was a kid you could buy it anywhere we used to have it my
father's Texaco gas station, we sold it on the counter, but it got harder to find
over the years, John Fred says Scotty I got a
2012 Corolla and the left side blows hot air and the right side blows cold air
when I turn on the AC, I recharged it, the right side is very cold okay if you are
sure that you have the right amount of refrigerant, the only way to do it,
you watch my video how to fill your car's AC with refrigerant, you suck it
all out with a vacuum pump, then you put in a factory load by weight or volume
that's it, you got to do it that way, now if you did do that and it's still
blowing hot driver side and not on the passenger
side which is freezing cold, then you got a problem in your blend doors on the
driver's side it's stuck and it's not opening up let the air blow through the
AC evaporator on that side, but for my experience with those things 99% of the
time it's just that it doesn't have the right amount of refrigerant, so that the
passenger side which is closer to the evaporator takes most of the cool air by
the time it makes it over to the other side, then it's blowing warm air, but like I
say if you got an actuator stuck and it's not letting that air go over to
that side, you'd have to take the dash part for that and that is a royal pain, so if
you never want to miss another one of my new car repair videos, remember to ring
that Bell!
