Curious about his judgement and whether these "non-weep hole" pumps are possibly offered as generics for repairs?? 😬....just wondering

As simple like this: don’t retire please. We’re learning a lot from your experiences as mechanic.

Another tip, let the engine run for about 30 seconds before driving. Make sure engine oil is circulating and transmission oil. Only takes a few seconds. I seen several people take off and floor it as soon as it starts. And it never hurts to drive slow and easy until everything gets warm.

What would he do? Fixing cars and making KZread videos is his life. My fear would be that he wouldn’t last long because he loves doing those two things. I would love to see him get a tv show of some kind. Remember pimp your ride? Maybe he could travel the country fixing cars for people or exposing mechanics that take advantage of people with unnecessary repairs and/or over charging people. I would definitely watch every episode.

If you have an honest mechanic who is good at troubleshooting (finding the real problem) then do what I do... always show up with a pound of great coffee or a Family Size bag of Oreos or something to let them know that you appreciate them. Good guys love NOTHING more than hearing that their humble work meant something to someone enough for them to say those loveliest of words... "Thank you". Scotty, "Thank you".

I got tired of the old plastic radiator falling apart in my vehicle every other year. So I bought an after market aluminum radiator with an extra tank. It has been great! Since it is aluminum, it radiates a lot of heat. The plastic radiators barely radiate any heat at all. They are only warm to the touch. My giant aluminum radiator gets very hot as the heat escapes from it. The fan barely turns on at all. I loved my aluminum radiator

2 more: follow the speed limit in town. Increase speed by 41% doubles the fuel required and work required. When you see a red light take your foot off the accelerator and coast up. If it turns green before you get to the intersection you prevented a stop and you just have to accelerate to cruising speed.

@timmcshane6635

You can also turn off the engine to save fuel while coasting up to the lights. It only works if you are going to be stopped or the engine is off for 10 to 12 seconds for most cars. It doesn't wear and tear on the engine because it takes a while, much longer than 10 or 12 seconds for the oil to run back down into the engine. Yet it saves fuel if you have a good amount of stop and go traffic and long stop lights. Obviously turn your engine back on as soon as you reach the speed you need to regain your place in traffic!

IDK. I think depending on the age of the vehicle and overall condition of the rest of the vehicle, aftermarket may be considerably cheaper. I know when I had my 97 Civic worked on (from an insurance claim) about 12 years ago they opted to use aftermarket fenders and I couldn't tell the difference, other than the fender didn't have the VIN sticker on the inside of the panel). Of course, the car was 11 years old at the time anyway. ON a modern car, (one made in the last 20 years) you would want to stick with OEM parts most likely but for older vehicles, if you're paying for the repair, you can save quite a bit of money by buying aftermarket. And to be honest, not everything from China is junk. Even Scotty says he has stuff that was made in China that lasted longer than some stuff that was US_made and didn't last more than a few years. It just depends on the item in most cases. What you really don't want to buy from China are critical components like belts and hoses, etc. or even light bulbs. But fenders and body parts aren't going to kill or cause a catastrophic failure while driving.

I checked and changed mine, and it was beyond filthy omg, changed both myself lol that cabin filter was next to the gas pedal omg it wasn't easy getting to, thank goodness for you tube lol

Thank you Scotty. Picked up a ‘96 4Runner a month ago and in the process of ‘doing it myself’. This video actually pinpointed a couple issues I couldn’t quite find. Thank you so much.

Scotty I have a 2006 Hyundai tiberion I bought brand new , have 82 K original miles on it , showroom new still , I love her , not a penny into her except regular maintaince parts , but over time she started squealing from rubber bushings Etc drying out I purchased the TP 205 and sprayed every rubber part on the car I could find minus the brake system and lo and behold no more squeals no more squeaks runs again like a dream the day I bought it thank you so much for recommending a product Joe... Navy veteran ACU-2

Scotty hello! Next year I'm going to start driving, so your videos are really helpful and informative for me

Thank you kind sir for sharing your wisdom

Great information, thanks Scotty! 👍

Always fixed my own for 40years BUT..Top tip here for me was contamination in engines coolant making it conductive to electricity and affecting electronic sensors makes sense and is good to know but I would've never have guessed it. I'm grateful for this video👍

This is absolute gold.

Can you give us a link where we can get this reseal I didn’t quite see a link down below thank you very much have a good day bye-bye

Try 303 Protectant

Since your recommendation on the AT-205 , I have bought 4 bottles so far. It works great on rubber stuff around the car and the house. :)

You're an absolute genius, thanks!

Scotty, is a wise & realistic god on cars! Thank you!

I kinda lost track, but I think these were more than five things. Thanks for the bonuses!

I count more than 3 tips Scotty... Thanks for the extra! :)

Don't start your car too much, manufacturers are putting stop/start systems in many cars, go figure.

It's to save fuel so you're not unnecessarily idling at red lights, and on some models, if you sit with your foot on the brake long enough, something like 30 seconds to a minute, they will automatically restart anyway before you lift your foot and continue to idle until you do and take off.

obsolete optics it’s a plainly stupid design focused solely on satisfying one of the worst nightmares to the auto industry and car enthusiasts. EPA and CAFE Standards. What a steaming pile of hot legislative garbage. It provides you as the user near negligible fuel benefits, while needing a beefed up starter. It’s a gimmick at best, and if not perfectly implemented it’ll wear down an engine faster. Regardless of what the bozos over at the engineering department will tell you, it isn’t healthy for an engine. It’s akin to CVTs, they make manufacturing costs cheaper FOR THE PRODUCER but repairs more expensive for the buyer.

@@TraceLight Agreed. I'm an engineer and I hate that stuff. CVTs, Auto Stop/Start, the whole lot. When I was buying my new car, I didn't want any of that stuff, so I got the base model with a manual transmission, and I love it. Granted, I did get the optional engine, because I wanted more power and wooshy noises, but overall I'm very satisfied with my purchase. I even still have a normal key! Well, it's got the four lock, unlock, trunk, and panic buttons built into it, but still, it's an actual key, not a fob, and there's no button to push to start the car; you still stick the key in the ignition and turn it like a regular car, and it's a 2017.

@@labornurse nope, it's a Ford Fiesta SFE; the SE Fuel Economy Package, they call it. It's not the ST, nor a base S-level rental car, nor did I want the flashy chrome accents of the Titanium trim level, nor anything with an automatic due to the class action lawsuit against Ford for their crappy six-speed automated manual SelectShift and PowerShift transmissions, so I went with the mid-level SE trim with the standard 5-speed manual transmission and the only option I got was the one liter three cylinder Fox engine for an extra thousand bucks, which has paid for itself with what I save at the pump ⛽

Hey and thanks Scotty for all the videos you have placed on youtube over the years. I have watched several and enjoy them. Thanks again.
