I will be there for a few minutes to see if I have a mechanical connection and I'll let you know if you want it jgujg t 2n
Did you see the tornados?
Hi Scotty ! How are you ! Please help me if you get this. I know I need to check my exhaust manifold for leaking rattling noise on Toyota S Corolla 2002 . I changed a tensioner pulley and a water pump my self. But that wasn't the noise. I like older cars so I could work on it and save money. It rattles on and off. Could it be the spring bolt . Maybe you've had to fix that sometime ago and know my issue with it ? I know you're extremely busy sometimes. Thank you very much .
Buy Americans Cars and Trucks forget about that crap. First of all I'm Not in the Employment Agency.
Patriotic my foot. Go ahead buy garbage. Not me.
Scotty is the best, UNFILTERED and a straight shooter.
My dad sold cars for decades. He once told me that a family got screwed on a new GM that was overheating. GM blamed them for choosing black paint. That was 20 years ago. They've been gone a while.
Wtf that is horrible.
Wait what? PAINT???? Your shitting me wtf?!?!
That's GM.
As a former small town, Chevrolet dealer and Chevy fan for the first half of my life I now only have Hondas and Toyotas. My truck to pull my trailers is the last great Toyota made the 2021 Toyota tundra crew. As soon as I heard, they were ruining that truck with electric engines and twin turbos. I rushed out and bought The high horsepower and torque gas hog tundra.
You gotta tell me about that truck
You talkin about the V8 Chevy power Tundra, yeah, my brother in law bought one of those, engine was great, but he couldn't stand the rest, terrible suspension rear wheel wells started rusting out in one year, he couldn't hardly give the damn thing away, has a GMC now, so far so good.
@@user-Dr. finally some decent comment about toyota tundra, they falling apart, terrible suspension, cannot get an alignment done and Tundras cannot take any abuse that ford take or older chevies.
Amen brother, gotta love the Toyota Tundra with the 5.7L I-Force V8 in it that'll outlast any Ecoboost Ford makes
@@CJColvin one would think that, but they not outlasting anything, .. tundras are garbage, ..
Wow, Scotty dug these vids out of the archive. The first two were shot in Houston.
I was just wondering that when I saw the palm tree at the beginning of the test drive in the second truck. I thought it was New Orleans for a second, although New Orleans and Houston has basically the same climate and type of plants so that makes sense.
Whenever a car sucks already at low mileage. Scotty says "Look at my Toyota celica it still works with 200,xxx miles on it" 😂
It is never driven any more, just for show.🤣
Amomg 10 million other non toyotas
Still running with 200,000 + miles.
Camery had 305k miles but then I hydro planed and whacked a tree 😭
Hey Scotty, it's Sunday night and I'm mad as hell!
I read this comment and now IM mad as hell
And im leaving
Open your window, stick your head out and yell, "I'm mad as hell, and I'm not going to take it anymore!" (From the movie : Network)
0:00 Chevy
5:53 Hyundai
14:20 Jeep
Scotty’s Celica has 240,000 miles for the last ten years.
It sits a lot. With the Matrix, and the Lexus available.
One of the biggest problems nowadays is finding a good mechanic.
Not only nowadays, it has been like this since I can remember.
As a Mechanic, I have to point this little caviat out...
It's not a case of finding a good mechanic, it's a case of finding an experienced mechanic for the equipment you own.
I can do a top end rebuild on a ford 4.0L in quite literally 2 1/2 hours (minus the time for the machine shop to dress the heads), I can swap out a power steering pump on a chevy 5.7 in a little under 50 minutes (including de-mounting the pump from the bracket)... Sounds great right?
I am utterly CLUELESS when it comes to working on a Peterbilt (Other than I know how to cage the brakes for towing...)
I can grasp concepts, and probably even do repairs properly as long as I have a manual available. Doesn't mean I'm going to be a "Good" mechanic on everything.
Scotty hates any car that's not a 90's Toyota Celica.
I gotta agree lmao I hate any car that is 2008 and up, that's when those touch screen start coming into play, once that touchscreen goes the car goes also. Way to much electrical wires
100%…. I like Scotty….. but have a completely different opinion than him (I love American brands) although I still watch him to see the “other side”
Not true, he doesn’t mind the maverick, probably loves 4runners and tacomas more than celicas, hondas, and old dodge trucks
What a stupid comment
You must have one of the 3
I absolutely love watching Scotty, always describing things in a way that makes me laugh.
"Boom-o! You gotta buy 4 new tires."
Hyundai did well for me with 3 different vehicles. Santa Fe, Elantra and bought my first one off the showroom floor. An Accent.
Loved the old style Santa Fe.
Warrenty best in the business at the time.
Only had small recall issues, nothing major at all.
Mileage on them?
@@iv-kingroy-iv2225 Yes.
My 2010 Honda Sonata has 130k miles and the only major issue I ever had was needing to replace the timing belt.
I’ve got an 08 sonata that runs like a top that I got for 4 grand years ago. Great cars. Huge trunk too.
Wouldn’t touch a 2011 and up though.
Hyundai is junk now sorry
Thanks for the expert advice Scotty always love watching your shows
My 17 1500 LT double cab has 98800 and no major issues up to this point my tailgate handle is stronger than an Albanian field wench. Gas mileage is 20-24 with it always in v8 mode with Cold air intake. There is vents under the front seats shooting to the rear. I absolutely love the truck the 3 years I've had it. Lol
I passed on the Rav 4 because of that horrible info screen that I couldn't see over - I'm 5'2", and I'm used to all the great vision I have in my Subaru. Scotty, thanks for these great videos.
Good luck on the silicon gaskets that will leak
@@matthewinazwhat gaskets?
Toyota did that before, because I've one. The 2004 Toyota Vios first generation (south Asia only) look at the speedometer, I'm 5"9 and it's higher than windscreen.
@@matthewinazliterally every manufacturer uses silicone gaskets now. Change your oil regularly and it will last fine. If it does leak it's after 150k-200k miles and is only a small weep that isn't even enough to drip down.
@@GF-mf7ml When Scotty's driving, he can see the pedals without looking down.
I have a 2014 Cruze .. I love the solid feel, the ride and how quiet it is inside.
Well Scotty hates them, sorry
@@richardloach610 He hates everything haha
Glad you are coming around to Hyundai. I've had nothing but good things to say about them for many years.
Being sued is a good motivator.
Hyundai are still junk... I had a 23 night edition Santa Cruz, got rid of it after just 2000 miles.. what a pile of crap.
They are definitely junk now.
Owned 3 Hyundais (Tiburon, Tucson, Sonata N line) all 3 were great. The engine went out in the Tucson at 80k mile, BUT Hyundai replaced it for FREE and paid for my rental for 2 months while they did the repairs. Can't really complain about that!
@@georgenovotny4421 Something a Screaming Weasel would say.
Scotty, that is such a good point to make about having to replace all 4 tires on AWD or 4WD when you get a nail in the wrong place. With good tires, my FWD Kia handles the infrequent snows of lowland Washington just fine, and so did my old Toyota FWD sedan. I'm ordering a FWD Ford Maverick hybrid and the tire cost is a good reason to resist the constant chatter to switch to Ecoboost FWD. I've never leased a vehicle but your friend did OK with that lease. My state issued 2004 work Jeep had brake and suspension rust at an early age, same roads and places as my 2003 Ford, so you've explained that. Thanks for the lessons!
13:35 Note to all auto makers: Scotty is like Santa, he KNOWS whether what you're doing is naughty or nice! 17:58 I'd go back and ask that repair shop "Can you look up whether my calipers were replaced" and if they said yes, I'd sue after I'd have witnesses ready who'd testify that THEY HADN'T!
Can anyone explain to me why Scotty's Celica has had 240,000 miles on it for like 6 years?
It doesn't run.
He keeps saying that he changes the oil in it every 3,000 miles......but he hasn't driven it more than 1,000 miles since he bought it 🤷
Scotty always uses the Matrix when he drives back and forth between Rhode Island and Tennessee.
He worked on it so it doesn't run couldn't figure out how to get the hood up if he didn't have hands he couldn't talk
The odometer broke on it
I have been talking about that for a while.
The smart screen on Toyotas look like it was added as an afterthought.
Like someone said just lay it on the dash.
Just awful looking.
The 'work-experience' kid designed it 🤔
Thanks for the info 😊
My Chevy equinox 2014 LTZ is in good shape for 10 years & 100k. Chevy didn’t do bad with the 3.6 engines. But my old 2002 trailblazer with 300k is still rolling
My wife had a 2014 equinox with the 2.4 liter and it blew the engine at 80k miles and burned a quart and a half ever 2 weeks. Up until that it was one of the nicest riding and driving cars we’ve ever had other than her Maxima
@@danielhamby9448 yeah the 2.4 engines have all kinds of problems but the 3.6 is solid
Ive had great luck with Chevy. An S10, and 3 Silverados.Never had major issues, (knock on wood).As long as they keep doing me good Ill keep buying them.
‘94 S10. 4.3/5speed. Sold it in 2020 with 315,000 miles on it. Still had the original clutch and never had the heads removed. Shoulda kept it but I don’t have room.Akebono brake pads did work fantastic as Scotty says.
When I had my 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee WJ 4x4 4.0L Straight 6 all four tires mount and balanced in 2018 it was Firestone All Terrain were 425.00 plus tax for all four.
To each his own. I was raised around gm for 45 years. I've had to repair far too many ford's in odd situations.
I don’t like fords of course although my old explorer was driving with 200k, all the GM cars my family owned (buick LeSabre, Buick rendezvous, Chevrolet lumina, Chevrolet cobalt and a Chevrolet Cavalier, GMC Jimmy and all ended up having problems and leaving us stranded. Converted the family to better cars
Hi bro please subscribe 😢❤
My grandmother's 2010 Chevy Cobalt with almost 150k miles still runs like a clock 14 years later.
No rust either, despite plenty of winter driving on salty roads.
Me and my parent only drive toyota, my brother and sister drive all different kind of car, my sister is still on her first 2010 Kia, she had it broke in once by those low life Kia boy, my brother Silverado has that popular P0306 lmao 11k to repair, now he owns a ram and I wouldnt even dear touch it, helped him once on the oil change and im not EVER helping again
@@MatthewTheCCMAnot a huge fan of Ford either but if I had to pick it definitely won’t be a GM product. I had so many problems with my Pontiac Montana van and my wife and her friends all had GM garbage that had issue upon issue.
Celicas been @ 240,000 miles for 15 years strong now😂😂😂
Scotty broke it clearing the DTCs.
“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”John3:16 NKJV
“that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.”Romans10:9 NKJV
”For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul?“ Mark 8:36 NKJV
And what about jeep model line after 2017.. 2017-2019-2021 models? Would love to hear something on that.
I just dont trust American cars. And I feel like Scotty agrees and knows better than I do.
All garbage.
Even Honda and Toyota new cars are low quality. Planned Obsolescence, a key feature of Capiralism.🤮
He doesn’t trust supercharged engines, either, which now all the Japanese manufacturers have moved to. So if you can’t trust American cars, and you can’t trust small engine turbo-charged cars…..walk, I guess?
Yep American car manufacturers have been going down for like over 20 years😂
@@harveyhankerson8359 you thinking about keeping it?
@@brads1545Majority of cars do not use forced induction so your comment doesn't make sense. And diesel cars are largely different compared to gasoline.
Caliper sliders bolts are probably stuck. Very common in all vehicles now for some reason. A couple of months till they seize is about right in snowy locals.
i was a mechanic for 32 years and i agree with scotty on chevy. chevy quality started declining sharply starting in the 1990's. quality of parts and engineering stupidity overhaul.
That's funny, the 98 Chevy truck has been determined the best vehicle ever produced, will run longer, go further with the least maintenance of any other vehicle produced, I differ from that a little, we had a 93 Cutlass Supreme that we had over 1 million 350 thousand miles by the time my youngest daughter wrecked it, original engine, AC still worked even.
@@user-Dr. there are a few exceptions. the 93 cutlass supreme was a j-body and was actually decent. but most if not all of the j-bodies were discontinued after 1995
Thank you for these videos Scotty, you're helping all of us avoid bad cars.
Just open the bleed valve if wheel moves freely the caliper is fine, flexi hoses can wear out internally restricting return flow
all this time to get an intelligent answer
Mines. 2011 230 thousand miles Z71 everything almost still original and still working great
what are your thoughts on the 2021 Mazda 3 hatch? I just got the top trim to reward myself for getting my dream job as a researcher. You should test it out.
Hi it will almost certainly be a frozen wheel cylinder.
It's all to late now it will need new roaters and front hydraulic wheel cylinder kits at least.
Great videos
How well were Jeeps built before Chrysler got ahold of AMC? My friend in the 90s had a 70s Jeep. He was restoring it but even in a somewhat torn down state it rode and ran better than a 2022 with 10,000 miles on it.
I work for Advance Auto Parts and the delivery vehicles that the company leases are flawless when we pick them up but when the lease is up and when we have to drop them off at the dealership, some of the vehicles have to be brought in on a flatbed. Can you imagine what Advance Auto Parts pays to lease 4 vehicles per store across the nation? Unbelievable!!!
i work at napa we had some chevy sonics. all of them are crap. blowing radiators and ac switches in under 100k miles. And in those 100k miles the timing broke and they had to trash em. Dont recomend sonics for sure!
LOL. Scotty takes the first two cars on a test drive, but, he doesn't take the Jeep for a test ride. Scotty must be too scared....LOL
I have a 2015 chevy silverado and thank God I bought the warranty because over 11,000 dollars later I think it's running right. Ac, fuel pump, radio, entire front end rebuild, broken driver seat brackets, etc. It only had 66,000 miles.
Ive got a 2001 4door Silverado 1500 HD 6 ltr.with 303,000 Miles . Ive spent about $4000 in the last 7 years replacing enguine parts and tires but its still gets me to work and around the city.
4000 in 7 years is nothing
id rather spend 4000 in 7 years than $90,000 in 5 years on a brand new one
That's $4,000 well spent.
Hang on is that cost of regular maintenance, ie tires, brakes, oil? Or just for non-routine repairs?
@@richardloach610 bro its a 2001 with over 300K miles, youre GONNA have to replace parts here and there.
Scotty explaining how my uncle is able to find stuff to fix on his 2002 chevy Silverado extended cab more than i can on my 96 toyota camry. No wonder he stays up until 1 in the morning to fix it 😂
First part of video in Houston....Scotty’s house was torn down, as was next door’s house. Next door has a tan Fiat 500 in the driveway every day. For real.
Hey Scotty. Saw about tornado in Clarksville. Hope all is well with you
And I have 2 of the 3 vehicles in my driveway. Wife just bought the new Hyundai Tuscon LTD , luckily its only 2 wheel drive though, My '15 GMC Sierra has about 80k great miles so far
My mom has a 2020 Hyundai Tucson and it already needs a new engine with less than 150,000 miles ahead there are 80 Tucsons in front of her's all with blown engines so very poor quality. The only reason she has that is because my brother wouldn't listen to her and co-sign for a Toyota as she wanted a RAV4 or a Tacoma or Tundra
Taking your car back to ripoff mechanic is like sending a bloody steak back to the kitchen. You get back something burnt and spit on.
"HAPPY MUSIC"! !😂😂🎵🎶
Why we love you Scotty 🤓
So glad I live in New Mexico. My 2001 Ram 1500 is totally rust free.
These newer trucks are far from “work trucks.” They have completely went away from trucks were originally used for. Now you’re paying at a minimum $50k for a bare bones truck. It’s ridiculous. Most of them are junk too.
2015 it's almost 2024 that's 9yrs old, either way i agree with you on the quality, I own the same truck, same year and color mines only done 64k and have a cylinder #4 misfire runs like crap been parked tell I save up the money to fix it, in the meantime I'm driving my 99 Silverado with almost got 300k still runs perfect
What do you recommend... I have a limited 2019 rav4... I have the possibility of changing it for a 2024 or I choose a grand Highlander and what engine model do I choose? what do you suggest me?
Scotty, that chevy is a good truck. My mom and dad have one and it has 270k miles on it. The evap coil is a pain to get to, but that’s a rare occurrence with them. I think the goods out weigh the bad
Wrong
the ac evaporator it’s not a big issue send it /sell it abroad will cost $250 repair plus parts
I just recently met a guy who had a Silverado that couldn’t have been any more than 10 years old and his tranny went out. You never see that happening with Toyota trucks that age
@JoeTricep it depends on how he's used it, if he abused it by towing or driving it irresponsibility than that's probably why. My dad has a 2014 silverado with 137k miles on it and the transmission still runs just fine and it will be 10 years old in april
@@winning2273 they should be built to withstand unlimited abuse like Toyotas, otherwise you’re taking a big gamble buying a used truck. And i would be impressed if it had 237k miles
Hey Scotty, what do you think about the BMW B48 and B58 engines?
GoodYear is the best..
Quality tires for affordable prices and I had the warranty cover 2 of my tires that had had screws-!! I ONLY PAID 37 dollars for the new warranty to cover the replacement tires so the next time I pick up a nail-screw I am covered again.
Good year is the best no doubt. Hell I’ve bought used tires before with a decent amount of thread and they ran quiet and super smooth. Better MPG than even the OEM ones
Goodyear tires suck. I got 2 years out of their best ones. Never again going to buy Goodyear. Only Michelin tires for me.
@elhombre8925 I got a set of four tires. 6 months ago and I already had two replaced under warranty...
I had my timing belt replaced by goodyear, brakes, and more for a fair price-honest work..
My 2003 jeep NEVER has had wobble. Not even once
The Jeep probably is driven in an area where salt is used on the roads in the winter. A good vehicle for Fluidfilm application.
I have to say about a GM vehicle, I have a 2017 Cadillac XT5 and its been one of the best vehicles I have ever had with no issues. I am nearing 100k on it and its now a seven model year old vehicle so I am concerned I may begin to have some issues with it. Thing is with all of the auto makers going to turbo engines and car prices all being so high now, I have no idea what to replace it with. I'm not going EV or even hybrid with all the issues they seem to have.
I have a 2007 Silverado 2500 HD . Haven’t had any real issues but the windshield leaks water from the top when it rains. I have to keep dri z air crystals in the cab in the winter to prevent mold forming.
Well that sounds like a real issue 🙄
Why wouldn't you just take it to a glass place and have it resealed? That's cheaper than having to deal with mold.
@@jackcrisci2957 That’s how it came from the factory, the moisture buildup in the interior eventually destroyed the window switches and speakers , that’s why I now use the dri z air . I should have it fixed but it’s probably going to be expensive job.
@@flyinphil42 That sucks dude. That should have been caught under warranty and I'm sorry you got stuck with it. And cost would depend on your windshield's size and how fancy it is (auto sensing wipers, etc.) but that's only for a replacement. I'd at least get it diagnosed. Could just be a bad seal where your cost would really only be labor? Could also be a badly formed windshield where you'd need a full replacement. It's at least worth knowing IMO.
I love my 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee. It's been just as good as my wife's 2018 Honda Odyssey and has a lot less recalls. Will it last as long, who knows?
If you get a flat tire just get it patched. It is cheap and lasts forever. No need to buy new set tires.
Problem is 99% of tire shop will force you to buy new tires. Even walmart won't touch a tire which is old by age not by milage.
@skeets347
Never had a problem and I had 3 flats at different times.
@@randyhuke3773 Possibly only in my area
Scotty, I've got a 2000 Tundra 4.7 V8 260k kms and 2011 Corolla S 5 speed manual 219k kms. I want to make them last forever. Or until I actually wear these things out. Can you please make a
"Million Mile Video" to show us how to make our vehicles keep running virtually forever?
I was recently in a car accident where we had a 2013 Mazda 3. I intended to keep the car for over 500k kms. I do all my basics oil change fluids clean and want to make this combo go a million KM's.
I love your videos and appreciate all you do to help the regular backyard guy like me 🤝🍻
Well said
Hey Scotty, what do you think of the Toyota Yaris Cross?
I had a 2006 Grand Cherokee Laredo. Had until 2021 when the transmission went. That "wobble" on the highway is incredibly scary! After a while it went away. So weird. It only had 30K when I got rid of it, never drove it much but the whole underside was completely rusted. The roof started cracking peeling and rusting. Someone said "bad metal from China"...Dont know WTF Jeep is thinking.
Chinesium
I went to replace the front springs on my 2003 WJ and the bottom axle spring perch came off with the rest of the spring. Rusted beyond recongnition by 140K. I still like the overall design. There's nothing else like it. Why can't Scotty just say "warped rotor" without the high pitched voice and crazy hand waving. The calipers are crap and the float pins will seize so the pads are always dragging. Akebono caliper upgrade.
Scotty regarding the Hyundai Tucson,…I’m confused. You mentioned the possibility of a transmission recall and he should be ‘covered’ as he his only leasing. But doesn’t Hyundai / Kia offer a 10 year/100k Powertrain Warranty? Wouldn’t that Warranty cover that problem….
Help me understand as I also own a 2022 Hyundai Tucson SEL W/Convenience package, with 32,000 miles. BTW, I had a ‘check Engine Light’ come on,…with a DTC code of P0567a. They replaced the Oxygen sensor and gas cap,…as is well now and it was indeed covered.
Thank you as I watch you Daily…
Don't correct Scotty.
Hyundai claims torque converter isn’t part of power train, lmfao!
My company truck is a 2022 Chevy and I hate the damn thing. Ac issues since day one, leaks oil!, and tranny shifts hard.
So basically you dont like Hyundais because this one's automatic transmission had a recall. Well, Hyundais with manual transmission are perfect cars. Had mine 5 years now, no problems at all.
If the Chevy guy fixes his evaporator he should change out his heater core too. Then it’s all new. Think how much fun it’ll be when in a year the heater core starts to leak and he has to do it all over again.
What year are you living in? A 2015 model is 9 years old - not 5.
He spends a lot of time in Old No.7
Love you Scotty! Keep telling the truth!!
My father’s 2012 RAV4 has a 4WD system and he has only had to put cheap Falken Sincera SN250 A/S for only like a few 600$. He loves his car. But, the 4WD system cannot shift into 2WD high because there is not a transfer case, the drive tires can only drive in 4WD. What are some tips for gas mileage?
My car’s brake hose was clogged with rust making the wheel hard to turn.
Very common and overlooked by brake shops.
Scotty - I must protest your inference that its enough to have only 2 snow tires on a 2x4 vehicle - ALWAYS - ALWAYS - have 4 snow tires otherwise the computer can't handle any emergency manouvers and its dangerous - always have 4 snow tires. I am challenging you on this safety issue - love your videos!!!
Have a '15 Silverado 5.3 4X4 LT. Did some things that hopefully will delay the failures associated with these trucks. AFM disable with tune. Catch can. Added drain plug to transmission for frequent drain & fills. TBV bypass. Been really lucky with it, but just replaced the digitizer on the MyLink screen. 97K. I definitely keep the service intervals so I hope it lasts.
Delayed maybe, but problems coming

I daily drive a 2006 Chevy 2500HD 6.0 4L80E.. 264,230 purrs like a big beasty kitten.. just gotta toss a few bucks in her every now n again.. but its more reliable then any person or thing i know.. totin heavy all day... stay blessed yall
I just don't understand how some guys just douse water around the engine bay 🤦🏾♂️
7 silveradoes all except 1 when 250k sold all of them , had a transmission blow because I gut it stuck in sand and blew the rear gear . Traded that one in
2015 6.0 2500HD changed AC twice seemed like every 40k fricken AC would burn out ,trans went out at 85k , only got 88K on her never towed 'shame' , but hell it's paid for . 70k for a new one , that's nuts
14 12 23, A friend had an emergency invoving car hire. There were some onerous terms & conditions involving windscrean damage amounting to a sum exceeing cost of the hire !
My tinnitus ringing stopped, now I hear Scotty yelling in the nigh and slight pulse increase!! Need fancy scan!!
A brake caliper has a square cut o ring, they're responsible for retracting the brake piston when the pedal is released.
I am not surprised at all that some brands are totally out of business if you look how bad these cars are made. Either they are made to spend you a fortune on them on repairs .... or to give mecanics a headache or nervous break down...
They're currently leasing the 2023 Nissan Kicks and one 2023 Ford Maverick at every location that I'm aware of at Advance Auto Parts
Maybe pull the bad caliper and regrease the slide pins
All 3 manufacturers have their lemons and their bulletproof vehicles.
I have yet to discover a single Dodge, Chrysler, or Ram that was bullet proof.
@@thetapheonix Dodge Caravan has been an impressive minivan for a long time now. Plenty of them on the market with 200k+ miles.
Lots of cars from Dodge where it's hard to find any on the market with much over 100k (Dodge Dart being a good example).
my 2015 grandcaravan transmission gave out at 60k , at 100 it started again .. @@jojag5
Jeep.... @@thetapheonix
@@thetapheonix Chrysler is no longer supporting cars built over 15 years...have a 2008 Cummings and I have to purchase aftermarket parts...
Agree,my 03 toyota blows ice cold 268k miles, you tell me which is better built?😊
People always saying that their vehicles are better than others for F* sake just take care of your rides take care of them and they'll take care of you
We just bought a new 2023 Toyota 4Runner and man let me tell you its reliable as hell and looks badass as well.
Hey Scotty, what's all that ticking noise under the hood when that Hyundai is running?
What was the down payment on that $210 lease and what's the payout? And what would it cost to actually just buy one cash?
What do you think about me installing an aftermarket 4x4 on a 2008 silverado 2500HD 2WD? it has a low 47000 miles on a 6.0.
What modern car still puts the evaporator in front of the firewall? I’ll buy it.
Still driving my 96 Silverado, 350,000 no rust everything works, including the AC and tail gate, load it up all summer long drive all over the countryside with over 12,000 pounds of camper, tools, jacks, car hauler, racecar, spare tires and wheels, family, my brother in laws Toyota truck, been a piece of junk that cannot pull the load, that truck is gone.
I disagree with the 4 tire replacement on AWD vehicles. Differentials compensate for different wear on different tires - like computers compensate for varying octane levels in gas.
What have I gotten myself in fore? I bought a 91 Chevy 2500. $ 1500 dollars Canadian.Comes with 8 tires! Needs work but drove it home.We shall see!!!CHEERS from HERE!
We had one of those for over 8 years. Turned it in to the dealership when hubby got too itchy for a new one. Was a 4x4 with 205K. Never had a problem with it that I recall, and my husband was NOT ‘gentle’ with his vehicles! (I NEVER let him drive mine!). I’d say you’re not going to get hurt with that truck!😂
12year old Jeep?! You’re comparing apples and grapes, Scotty.
Well, when you're out of ideas...
I thought it was 5 years old
Where’s you channel and six million subs troll? Lol
Scotty can you fix my Keurig Descale problem?
