Hi :)
Scotty I have a 2008 Pathfinder with about 176,000 miles. Just got told that the cooling line cracked/leaked/broke forget exactly my mechanic said it fried my computer and transmission. I have been watching your videos for a few months now and I know you have said that Nissan transmissions are junk. My mechanic said the same thing but it is paid for and in this state of the country I really can’t afford a car payment. What do you think this is going to cost me if I pull the trigger on it. ($4000.00)
Thanks in advance,
Art Carter Manhein PA
Hey Scotty how about CHEVY MALIBU MAXX 2004 3.5 V6???😐
@@jackgahan149 not altogether bad if you can get it super cheap
@@SGTARTFUL Find a used transmission out of a wrecked pathfinder on ebay or save money on the shipping and try to find one locally. Going that route should cost you in the neighborhood of $2000 for the transmission and labor.
Customer calling Scotty: So how does it look, is there a problem ?
Scotty: Just go watch the video....
I have rough shifts when I eat Mexican food.
Car puns are exhausting.
@@s3renity690 No Pun Intended!!
@@s3renity690 yeah but they rev my engine.

@@ThomasJones-sz3sx Pun intended!
Just replace the engine and transmission every once in awhile it’ll last forever.
😂
👍
Dont forget to change the body in between every 3rd to 5th engine too
I have done that.
No. at 250000 it will still work. it will just shift slower.
I won’t fix this chevy Silverado, because there’s nothing wrong with it
How many transmission shops would charge you $300 for a MAP sensor you don't need just because the transmission shifts a little different than normal? Hmm
@@cward1954 have had (3) Silverado’s all took em to 150k. No map sensors
@@TubeTime123 The transmission shop will try to sell you a map sensor whether you need it or not was my point. Many shops are dishonest.
@@cward1954 is that a common problem on those year Silverado?

I learned more about transmissions in 10 minutes in this video than I have in my whole life.
Fr I don’t need to go to mechanic school anymore, I’ll just keep watching scottys videos
He really didn't teach anything specific about the transmission. He explained how long they last, and a couple electronic bits here and there. I'm not hating on Scotty, I am just saying there wasn't much in transmission specifics.
@@sloughsharkseh3307 I think he did. He made it clear that mechanical wear will not trip trouble codes, because the software writers (employed by the manufacturers) have written the parameters for conditions that will trip codes sufficiently wide, so that substandard performance has to be really substandard before any scantool, no matter how expensive, will actually show that a code-tripping condition exists. That's computer-ese for "they all do that." In other words, garbage in equals garbage out.
@@elcastorgrande And I agree, but if that is more than you have ever learned about transmissions in your entire life, then you really knew nothing about them to begin with.
What'd you learn? That transmissions don't last forever???
"Let's see how it shifts!"
Scotty: proceeds to do 45mph in a residential 🤣
REV UP YOUR WHISKEY!!!!
Very funny thank you
Did you hear about the chameleon that couldn't change colors?

@@shivamgagad5674 oof don’t love that
Scotty: So now I'll take it through some of my neighbor's yards and try out the traction control.
Scotty, after leaving craters of tracks in people's yards: Nope, no problems there, either.
If they are like my ex-wife the truck is fine it is the driver hearing or feeling things aren't there.
Drive it when it's cold , mine has a hundred and seventy-five thousand and slipped a little between 2nd and 3rd, not bad yet
I get the kick on my 2007 Silverado when going on a flat road and not uphill or downhill. Surprisingly it happens less when it is cold outside
RIGGS!
I have 195 k on mine. It has shifted hard into 2nd from first since I bought it at 150 k. Put a load in the bed or a trailer on it and it is smooth as can be.
@@mattschmitt9924 older chevys act that way too
This is exactly what happens in my 09 with 189k. Only when it’s cold out does it shift rough form 1-2. I think the computer must change something with the shift parameters when it’s cold. Once the vehicle gets up to temp and I restart the truck it shifts normal. When the temp is warmer outside it shifts just fine. Even from a cold start. It’s weird.
I love how he says junkyard and shows a picture of a Chevy dealer
P.S i own a Silverado
I own a 2005 Chevy Colorado :(
My 05 Colorado is still running strong 150k miles. I change oil every 2.5-3k miles
Someone doesn't like gm, lol
That’s a great engine and transmission. Change the fluid and filters often and it will run forever!
utilizing “new technology” like adding a neodmndym magnet inside the pan makes a HUGE difference!! new fluid cleans, and those micro steel particles floating around in the high pressure fluid can settle in some very bad places. the super magnet catches absolutely everything, and it will never break free and accumulate anywhere. the metal paste will go right past any filter + it keeps the filter and flow free. use a 1 x 3/4 x 1/4 magnet
@@davidjames666 nice tip! 👍💪
GM are absolute garbage
@@kaleclelland1817 164,000 miles on my 2015 chevy colorado, has only needed a water pump. Took me 1 hour to change it because it mounts like an alternator, cost $65. I get 28mpg highway and have confidence in it.
@@danielmeador1991 Scotty himself will tell you that GM doesn't make quality long lasting vehicles
I wouldn't buy an America car period. That's why i own a 94' Celica with over 340,000 miles on it and no Stupid car payments.
4 wheel drive on dry pavement... oof
Well scotty what you DONT know. Is these 6L80s require transmission fluid changes in 60k intervals. Alot of the times if the transmissions are not serviced at all. Around 160-180k they have torque converter issues. My 08 runs and shifts like new with 240k. General maintenance is a hell of a thing pal.
7:05, Lets talk about the 70's Camaro in the background.
I miss manual 4wd. I know everything has problems from time to time but electronic 4wd has given me more than a few headaches.
I had a 91 Blazer that was a BLAST
The new rams have a manual 4wd lever in the base model
Especially the ford vacuum actuators lol
How does it give you a headache?
@@TheDESTROYRR95 Probably by not working like it should and having problems. Electronic 4x4 is garbage.
Hey Scotty! I have an interview for a collectable car broker job in a couple weeks. This is my dream job. What can I do to prepare for this? What tips can you give me? Love your vids, thanks!!
Toyota and Lexus and some Hondas are good EVERYTHING else is trash
@@M447DT 😂
Don't lie!
Show up to your job interview in a clean car. My old boss used to have candidates show up in filthy vehicles and wouldn't hire them, saying people who didn't care about their own cars might not care about the customers' cars.
@@bagheerab278 Its a fairly good bet. He prob wouldnt hire many women lol, their cars are nightmares.
Scotty, you didn't mention the engine mounts. Could give the same symptom.
Thanks for explaining your thoughts during trouble shooting. This is a big help to me. I use this to build my knowledge. Thank you!!
Hey Scotty did you buy the Camaro I seen it in your last two videos sitting out front
I've owned a few of them, and it may be acting up when it's cold. I noticed when mine was first started in the morning time during the winter that they would shift weird until they warmed up a little bit. Most of the time when cold they just shifted much harder.
exactly, just one or two hard shifts in the morning cold, than your fine. I have 202,500 on my 98 silverado, and that has been my experience.
Ok thanks, I thought when mine was shifting from 2nd to 3rd all the time like it was slipping into neutral was because I need to warm it up. Please
I have a brand new 2021 Sierra with 1k miles and when I start it up in the morning it always shifts rough from 1st to 2nd even after a I warm up the engine for a few min, but once the transmission warms up it shifts fine.
@@sergiosays446 the computer lets the transmission warm up first before uses the adaptions tables. so in the morning is just shifts in to the next gear I notice is feels like the Tow/Haul mode. the Tahoe is the same way.
My 09 Silverado shifts rough from 1-2 only when it’s cold. It has 189k. Once the engine and trans are up to temp I restart the truck and it shifts fine. When it’s warmer outside the truck shifts perfectly fine, even from a cold start. This leads me to believe the computer changes the shift parameters when it’s cold out.
I learn something from you every time
More of these videos please, Scotty!
I love learning about automatic transmissions and reading data on the tester!

Mommy that crazy man is out there again🤣
Guess I’m lucky, I have an 06 Silverado cateye with 257K miles no problems. Only changed a water pump, alternator and a hose!
GREAT explanation of mechanical wear-based vs. electronic failure-based problems!! WTG, Scotty😎

I bought a 2013 Silverado used with 70k miles and it didn’t shift right I made the dealership take it back and got a different vehicle
With these trucks the real weak point is the torque converter in the 6l80 that is usually the first thing to go out and send metal into the trans fluid which causes problems with the rest of the trans
I clicked on this video because of the blue 78 camaro that is in the thumbnail.
Supposedly silverado transmissions commonly go out at that mileage. But my co-worker and his dad have a 01 and 07? silverado 1500, one with like 400k and the other with 180k or something high like that. One needed a fuel pump and that's all I heard.
Own a 99 rav4 200k and 05 sequoia with 170k and still running.
Nice but was it ever pulling cars boats? Or just treated like a garage queen 😂
Not surprising....Toyota quality light years ahead of the domestics
Run some BG transmission cleaner through it, Change transmission fluid and filter. Life will probably be better.
i'd live with it.
Scam
I have 207,000 on my 2000 Silverado and it shifts rough from 1st to 2nd
Imagine if someone high up from Toyota decided to kidnap Scotty while driving this Chevy?
Toyota Agent: Scotty, step out of the vehicle. You are being detained for driving a non-Toyota branded car.
Also Toyota Agent: Blows up Chevy, stuffs Scotty into a Camry and takes off!
On the brackets with a calibers the pins how you take them off do you bang them off then you put some grease on and you tap them in I just like to know that please thank you very much let me know
Need to go into mode 6 and check for pending codes, let you look at parts getting ready to fail
Do a video on active fuel management.
2002 Sierra done 1 motor swap at 498 000km due to head gasket and 1 rear end swap around 600 000km because it was spraying out the top of the diff only while driving I ran it dry without knowing, never left a puddle in the laneway over 700 000km now still original 4l60e
Love that camaro in the background, reminds me if my old z28.
Shift solenoids can cause intermittent issues as they are coils the windings break down the core insulation breaks down and they can be stressed thermally. Wire connections both power and grounds can be intermittent as they stress from age and fatigue.. The way to diagnose mechanical wear is to put pressure gauges in the line taps and check.
Solid info your sharing out there scotty. I have a 08 Silverado 1500 Crew Cab 5.3L and bought it new. I've kept it up supreeeemley. It has aaaaaalways shifted hard, about 65% of the time from 1-2nd. I recently had the transmission fully rebuilt, falsely diagnosed due to droning noise from the exhaust; 3 mechanics later... It was upgraded with heavy duty clutch and ring kits, etc. Still runs great. 181,000m. Still has that jerk 1st - 2nd. Just sayin.
I own a 03 z71 with 185k I've had it since 52k have only changed fluid and filter on trans and also no problems with electric shift fwd selector ,truck has been very reliable and I think I will keep her for another 15 years!
"Don't worry, that's normal" is part of the memory training at Ford. Never heard that at a GM dealer

Scratch it behind the ears, still purrs like a kitten! Haha
@@77Infidel seems good to me! 😂
2001 is the last year chevy almost made anything without planned obselence. tahoes are good that year but they put some new coolant that destroys all the seals up and leaks into the oil and engine...
Never checked the fluid level/condition?
If the fluid isn't filled with clutch material, I would drop the pan and put a filter in it. Refill with a quality synthetic fluid. Reset taps shift and see how it does. Customer might want to start saving for a trans. That should be a 6l80e, its going to be a pricey rebuild. Like $3k range.
Get this man to 4 m
No computer will tell you when the fluid has gotten hot and ruined!! need to smell test it...
I bet somebody did a burnout and toasted it..
It's amazing how I am looking at buying a used Silverado and you have a video for Silversdos just after starting to re-watch you after a long period of forgetting you and others.
Need to do those fluid and filter changes, (no quickie lube machines PLEASE) its not like your 76 impala where you dont do anything for its life. People need to know all this technology needs maintenance
Same with newer ford and dodge trucks too overpriced pos!
My 02 Silverado 1500 4.8L has the same problem 2-3 shift is hard

I have a 1999 Chevy Silverado 1500 and has 226,000 miles and never had a transmission problem

Lol a manual transmission will be a lot longer lasting I don't care what people say about an automatic it will not last and not as hard to work on,have buy a expensive scam tool to fix it.
I used to think that way. Still do to some degree. These computer controlled automatics aren't bad though. They've come a long way from the old mechanical designs. That scan tool bit, you really need one anyway to even do your own repairs at home anymore.
I love my 2000 Silverado it has 165k and it still runs and Shifts great!

Scotty I got a 2008 GMC canyon 4wd and just rebuilt Transmission . It only has 130k miles I looked up my vin.and it said my Truck had 170k I know when I bought it it has 105k seem they rolled my odometer. I want to get the vehicle history report and talk to the Florida highway patrol.I will give you a update.
Typical unfortunately
This would be considered new if he got a tundra
or he could just have a real work horse truck and buy Ford/Chevy
@cali gdp no a tundra with 150k is considered new, even the price of one is stupid high.
That part about "guys that buy 4X4s beat the crap out of them" needs definition. That applies to guys that do the "monster" thing to them. If you are looking at a 4X4 with stock suspension and stock wheels/tires, those were bought for winter use. Most of the 4X4s in my county are just that...... to get through the snowy/icy winters. I wouldn't be looking at 4X4s on 38" tires and all manner of modifications.... THEN you're looking for trouble.
Honestly, a Silverado 4by running ok at 156K, I'd count my blessings.
Actually that 4.8 can easily go 500k this engine did not have the active fuel management system
I bought my 5.3 Silverado with $153,000 and had the active fuel management disabled, but it was too late, was burning oil in number 1 cylinder and now I have to change the plug every 10,000 miles, but I did replace transmission fluid & filter, front diff, rear diff, brake fluid and power steering fluid... all full synthetic except brake fluid
With 4.8 u can get 400,000 plus
@@federicklucas3414 loser
@Joe Smith probably lack of on time maintenance
Or you buy the extra 4x4 package as insurance for those sticky situations. Saved us plenty of times while pulling the camper. Not everyone rags out the 4x4 on their rigs.
Uncle Scotty needs to be like Mr. Beast but instead of giving people money, he gives them a '94 Celica.
everyone is not worthy of '94 Celica. im 6'7 and still not worthy of vintage Celica besides being too tall for it anyway.
He sure will do that once you wire him the money to do so.... if you’re not going to do that then maybe stfu
Chevorlet should make a hybrid turbo charge 4cycler
Scotty, I thought your sunglasses had x-ray capabilities.
The 4L60 is pretty reasonable. The 6L80 are showing cracked drums. Of course it took a long time to get the 4L60 right.
Love your show Scotty I think this may have been one of the best you've done you explained in detail about the transmission and about how the computers view the cars and their function what starts to come to my mind after watching a couple of these two computers now may not always tell the truth about how the car really is this is either controlled by the manufacturer in the way they build the computers or the fact that sometimes sensors aren't even read because the parameters are too wide but thanks again this is an excellent video
Couldn't the clunk be from the drive shaft?
change the fluid with amsoil, and put a neodymium magnet in the pan. it will fix itself.
Signature series Amsoil is good for the direct injection also . It helps keep the valves clean with direct injection, but get ready for 100 dollar oil change with a quality filter . It is what it is .
@@williamsidis5489 I was referring to Amsoil heavy duty high temperature transmission fluid. it’s specs exceed the standards
@@davidjames666 Yes I know, but there is a period after the clutchs began to wear that changing transmission fluid is counter productive and flushing exacerbates the problem . If trans fluid wasn't changed initially according to manufacture maintenance specifications. The trucks being used for towing and hard use in general would be more suspect of failing clutch material. I do agree if you use higher quality fluids initially ( or before too much wear or damage accur ),they will better protect and perhaps improve mileage.
I've got a 2005 Silverado that once or twice I have shifted it into gear from park and the truck didn't move sorta like it needed to spin up the transmission. I don't drive it that much, but I haven't really experienced that happening again either. For the most part it seems to drive and shift just fine.
I can’t wait to hear the conclusion of this situation. Please keep us updated. Thanks for the video.
I have a 2012 gmc sierra with the L20 4.8l, and the 4L60 trans. I noticed a "clunk" shift if I slowed for a corner then accelerated just right. I'm the original owner, it was a new vehicle, I took it to the dealer, they test drive it and after I explained, the mechanic knew exactly what I was talking about. He said it was just a quirk of this trans and there was no issue and gmc just hadn't bothered to fix it. 5 years later the truck is running beautifully.

Rough shift and rough idle after enjoying Taco Bell
My family and I must be really luck when it comes to GM trucks/SUV's (Tahoe's-Yukons). I have owned a 03 silverado 2500/05 GMC 2500/06 Silverado (148,000before I sold it) and currently 2018 silverado-Wife 2003Tahoe/2006 Tahoe (head on collision in 2011 saved her life-totaled) now a 2016 Yukon. Only real issue was water pump on 03 Tahoe went out with 68k, freak thing. Otherwise I have had no major or expensive problems with any of our GM's. 90% family (cattle ranchers/blue collar peeps) own Silverados/Tahoes, never any major issues, super reliable with many miles. I hear Scotty (love you bro) slam GM, however, the trucks and SUV's with the 5.7's and 5.3's will run for 200k plus k miles and still purr. Change your oil q5k!!
I've got a 2002 Chevy Silverado 4×4 w/a 6.0 engine. 184,000 mi. She runs like a top. I've replaced the radiator, water pump and battery. That's it. The gas gauge is acting up. No problem. I'm happy.

This is part of why my Bronco and Tacoma have 3(count 'em) pedals on the floor. No problems. I used to be a fan of Chevy but quality left on a train to the coast a long time ago...... P.S. When the Starship Enterprise has engine problems I bet Scotty calls you up no matter where in the Galaxy he happens to be, so keep your stash of dilithium crystals fresh.......
GM used to make good transmissions. I will probably never know why GM said the 4l60e was an improvement over the 700r4(4l60). It was not. They haven't made a really good transmission since the 350, 375B, and 400. It's pretty bad when the guy with the Ford 4r70w has a stronger trans than the typical 4l60e, LoL. I'd bet most Dodge A500 and 518's were better, and that's not saying much until about 99 when Dodge upgraded the internals. I'm not really a fan of any of them..from the factory. Reman with torrington internals & other premium parts, and then you have something.
Every Chevy I owned with the 4L60E always has a flare shift from 2-3 but other then that they would still go for 100k miles with that issue... but yeah they should rebuild it n upgrade to a 2800-3000stall converter 👌
Mine has this , is there any way to fix this?
I love the base Silverado. A fantastic drivetrain.
Chevy guarantees your transmission will bust at exactly 100,000 miles on every Silverado sold. Etched in stone. Changing the transmission fluid every 20,000 miles will do nothing the transmission blows out at 100,000 miles on all of them.
LOVE this channel!
I swear I learn something new with every video.
I could watch these all day long.
Wish there was a Scotty Kilmer channel on cable.
It's normal, these 6 speeds are super clunky. On mine, the 2-1 shift is really bad sometimes. It will literally push me through stop signs and make me do a rolling stop. I'm just waiting for the day I get pulled over for a rolling stop and have to explain to the cop how clunky these transmissions are.
8:50 Scotty is mad that chevys are actually decent trucks...
Sure, Chevys are decent trucks. Just because they're decent doesn't mean they're good.
i had a ford focus zx3, that broke, and had to rent a car, (at the dealership), an old trade in, 1997 taurus, i know why it was traded in, because the trans. was reluctand to shift between second to third.
