rev up your engines, dj kid says you never talk about Mitsubishi's, okay
I'll talk about them now, when Mitsubishi first started selling cars in the United
States they were cheaply made piles of junk, they would burn oil, all my
customers that had them, they get fifty sixty thousand miles they start smoking
blue and white like mad burning oil, blowing head gaskets, now they're better made
than they used to be, but they're still using cheap parts, I still see them they
get eighty ninety thousand miles they start burning oil again, because they use
cheaper piston rings, a lot of them use those Jatco transmissions that Nissan
makes that are terrible automatic transmissions, you know now I've had a
few customers that got Mitsubishis and liked them, but they got used ones and
they got sporty ones that had standard transmissions in them, then they bypassed
all that automatic transmission stuff that they had problems with and didn't have to
think about that, I personally wouldn't buy one myself, now if you're really nuts
about them, you want to buy a brand new one
and you're happy with a car that lasts maybe 100,000 miles and doesn't break
down much, go right ahead they cost a lot less than Toyota's, they
look nice they can be fun to drive, just don't think you're gonna buy a
Mitsubishi and it's gonna last like a Toyota or a Honda and go to three four
hundred thousand miles and not have that many problems, but if you want a cheaper
car and you like the way they look and you can afford a new one and you don't
mind buying a new one every hundred thousand miles
go right ahead I got customers that do that, cm says what are the worst
problems with Chrysler's I don't own one, well I' don't have time for that, that
would probably take about a year and a half to explain them all, cheap design
and production and many errors made over the years, the company's gone bankrupt
Mercedes bought them, then they lost the fortune they sold them to a Canadian holding
company, then they were smart and they sold them to Fiat and made a bunch of money
now Fiat stuck with them, they're just quality control is garbage
and then they keep coming up with different designs and a lot of the
designs just don't pan out, that horrible 2.7 liter v6 engine they put out for
years it was just a pile of junk, they just don't do good engineering decisions
and good production decisions, now I noticed lately they've been farming a
lot of stuff out like their trucks they had horrible transmissions but then they
started using American transmissions in them and then
they started using jatco transmissions and I and now I know I see
a lot of their trucks they're using Aisin transmissions, those are the toyota
transmissions so hey at least are getting better now, but they're not
making that stuff they're just buying it, I
guess they figured out they know they make junk so they'll buy the
transmissions from Toyota instead, Johnson Paraguay says Scotty I'm a mobile mechanic
looking for a bigger vehicle for my tools,
is a 2003 Nissan Xterra a reliable car well you know they can be very reliable
cars, but only for a certain period of time, I have customers with them that loved
them, but then when they got 120-130 thousand miles they started to fall apart
and they didn't like them anymore, if you're gonna get one I would not buy one
that had more than eighty or ninety thousand miles unless you got a dirt
cheap, cuz if you're a mobile mechanic you're probably gonna do a reasonable
amount of driving and if you're gonna move fifteen twenty thousand miles or
more a year and it's high mileage, it will fall apart on you that's just the way
those things are, but if you can find a low mileage one on it you can still get
some decent mileage on them I've had customers that like them that
way, and I had customers that bought them used with like seventy thousand
reasonably cheap and they loved it cuz they didn't pay that much and then they
still got forty fifty thousand miles out of the vehicle, super Reno says I get
a noise in my driver axle when I decelerate or brake, my all-wheel drive
suv, what could the problem be okay
deceleration or brake is you're getting strain on a drive axle both ways, check
the drive axle first, check both ends check the outer CV joint and the inner
CV joint if the boots are ripped and grease is coming out, just replace the
whole thing as an assembly, because you can get aftermarket ones that work fine
for 70 80 bucks or so most of the time they're not all that expensive, since its
when you decelerate or when you brake all kinds of things move when you brake,
so jacking up in the air and pull on the wheels and if you see you got a tie rod
that's loose or a ball joint that's wearing out, that's obvious stuff, but
most of the time it's in the drive train and you want to pray that it's not
inside the transmission, cuz that gets really expensive on all wheel drive
vehicles, if you can't pinpoint the sound go to a mechanic like me and we use our
electronic devices and you can stick them all over and then you can pinpoint
exactly where the noise is coming by that sensor and listening to it with headphones
when you're driving the car around mechanics do that all the time, william Kelly
says why do you always have dark glasses on, well one I got a bunch of
stage lights pointed at my head, I'm old as can be and I look better with the
glasses on, and three I am blind as a bat this is clearer, anything further is blurry
as can be, I can't see I've had bad eyesight my whole life but man you
get older, you have a tendency of knocking out more and the docs and say if
you wear shady glasses all the time that'll keep your retina and stuff from
being degraded as much, so that's what I do,
you only get one set of eyes you might as well
try to make them last you know, so if you never want to miss another one of my new
car repair videos, remember to ring that Bell!
