Rev up your engines, mark says when do you have time to actually
work on cars, love your videos, I work Monday thru Friday but I run my own business so I
get to schedule things as I want, deal with customers that I like, helping out people
and then that keeps me up with the times, because if I didn't work on cars my knowledge
would be useless after a short period of time, there's a lot of guys out there now giving
car advice on the internet that don't even work on cars, some of them never have and
some of the don't anymore, they make so much money making videos, but if you really want
to be logical about it, your advice isn't going to be that good if your not still working
on them and get your hands on to see, here's what actually breaks, here's tools worth buying,
here's tools not worth buying, and you really have to if your going to talk about it and
yeah I don't work like I used to, I used to hustle my butt off, I always worked for myself
after the first 5-6 years I worked on cars I just started my own business working by
myself, I used to hustle a lot more, sometimes I'd do 3-4 cars a day, now hey I'll do 1-2,
I don't push it I'm getting older and you get carpal tunnel syndrome after a while but,
if you don't keep in the business that your talking about in a short period of time you
won't know what your talking about, it like business consultants that all they do is charge
$100,000's to consult other people's businesses, hey if their not in the business world anymore
it's all talk and smoke they don't know what their talking about so,
that's the main reason I do it is to keep up with the times,
and I like working with my hands too, you don't want to just talk all the time you want
to get physically involved in something too it's more fun that way,
dub says scotty 2018 nissan maxima platinum what do you think of those as every day vehicles
I hope to keep it for 10-15 years, you used to be able to do that with nissan maximas,
when they first came out they were bulletproof cars, they would run and run, they really
had a good and long history of improving as times goes on but as I've said many times
nissan and renault the French company merged around 2000 or so and their quality has been
going downhill, I doubt that you could buy one of those and get 15 years out of them
without having some serious problems these days, they don't have the quality that they
used to have, you're going to be paying a lot of money for a vehicle like that, if you're
going to pay that kind of money for a car I'd say get a Lexus and you're going to be
much happier than you would with that maxima that's just the way that it goes,
x master says scotty what do you think about a 17 year old mechanic buying a 7.3 powerstroke
or a classic gasoline truck ford, I don't want a car, ok if your a mechanic get a classic
gas ford truck, those older ones they can last forever and their really cool and if
you go way back to the 60's or whatever those things can run forever you can fix them, their
simple, your only 17 so you can learn more about it as you go on and I think in that
case classic has class, your driving a classy thing and it's not like you can't get parts,
they still make parts for them all, I'd go classic ford truck on that one, powerstrokes
you mess around with diesels, diesels are another breed and your only 17, diesels require
a lot of expensive equipment to work on, their much harder to work on, the parts cost a lot
more, and unless your doing a lot of heavy duty hauling or cross country towing, I'd
stick with the gasoline ones myself, yolo says scotty what do you think of the
Cadillac XTS models, their fun to drive, their zippy but as they age they are endless money
pits, I had a customer with one and he was a corporate lawyer which tells you how much
money he made, Houston is a big place for corporate lawyers they make a lot of money,
he got rid of it because he said he couldn't stand it because it was costing him too much
money to fix, because everything was made that as it aged it broke and started to fall
apart, and they aren't that easy to work on either, if your going to buy one my advice
is don't, lease it, get a lease and then you know how much money your spending, theirs
no secrets and then you get off the lease and you don't own it anymore before it really
starts to fall apart that's my advice with them, I had a lot of customers get stuff like
that and then they got it out of their system and they said, hey that was great I didn't
have to spend any extra money and that was the end of it, but don't buy one, alfredo
says I have a bad heater core should I replace it or just bypass it, it depends on where
you live you know, if you live here in Texas like I do just bypass it, you just cut the
two heater hoses that go into the firewall of the heater core, and you get a plastic
splice kit, I get them at autozone for like $8 with two clamps and bypass it and away
you go, now you don't want to just plug the lines up because you still want to have flow
in the system, some of them have problems with cooling the heads right if you plug them
up, but you just connect them together so they just flow the way they normally flow
and their bypassing the heater core, now if you live someplace where it's really cold
and you need heat well you know you more or less have to fix the thing,
but if you got one of those thing like say a ford where you have to take the whole dash
out like a Thunderbird and it's going to cost you like over $1,000 you could cut those two
hoses and then run new hoses and they do make little hot water heater kits that you could
put under the glove box that will blow hot air and you could modify that and do that
and that's only going to cost $200-300 instead of $1,000, so you might think about that,
so if you never want to miss another one of my new car repair videos, remember to ring
that bell!
