After watching Scotty everyday for the last 3 years I’ve come to realize that car manufactures don’t want their cars to be fixed. They intentionally make it difficult for problems to be diagnosed and repaired so you have to decide to spend a fortune to fix it or spend a fortune and buy a new one.

dodge - hey we’re making a new 2020 Durango any ideas Person - better fuel efficiency Other person - more comfort That one guy - idk hellcat engine? Dodge - hellcat engine it is

“Here’s a Dodge Charger.. that was built in Canada” dudes a savage every time. 🤣

Man, I wish Scotty was my mechanic. Someone who you could trust.

In the mid-70s, a regional Mercedes parts salesman told me, "It doesn't take a rich person to buy a Mercedes, but it does take a rich person to repair their Mercedes."

Scotty's economy car definition: - No rear climate vents: economy car - Rear climate vents: fancy car

I love this guys passion for giving out car info.

As an experienced mechanic I can tell you: If you buy a vehicle that comes with a V6 or a turbo 4 / V8 or turbo 6, just go with the larger engine with no turbo. Turbos have their place, but not on your every day ride.

Scotty's birthday is coming and being over 65, it's time for him to buy a fun car. Life's too short.

Only buy a Ford if its a Toyota

who ever edits his videos is awesome! putting all those rants into a coherent video is pure talent

i wonder how many calories he burns just talking.

"A tiny engine, a very tiny engine - with all this crap on it.." LOL!

We love here in ANTARCTICA SCOTTY, we are military Scientists we've been here for eighteen months, we enjoy watching you, we trying to learn how to fix our vehicles when we get back to the States, God knows when is that, Lol...

Scotty was a sign language translator for the hearing impaired in a previous life ...... or a Charades National Champion.

You’re packing so much information into these videos it’s real cool, almost as cool as that old Celica

I passed a ford the other day on my way to the gas station. I was on my riding mower.

scotty, i didn't like you at first cause you were always screaming in your intro... then i gave your video's a shot and i'll say you're one of the most knowledgeable guys out there with tons of years of experience... i love talking to guys like yourself in my every day life... you're a wealth of knowledge and always willing to share....thank you sir for sharing what you know..

Whenever I'm having a bad day I just play a Kilmer video on .25x speed. Always makes my day lol

Ford: "It's a high-performance engine." Scotty: "It's an egg beater on steroids!!" (Animal laughs). 😸😸😸

I haven't seen Scotty for a while, he's still getting his upper body aerobics on.

To replace the cam, lifters, springs and rods and new gaskets on that Charger is under 1500 in parts, and thats upgrading to hellcat lifters. Should only be a 8-12 hour job. Totally worth fixing. This guy knows his stuff, but is a heavy on HIS opinions, which is 100% fine on his channel. Just dont take his opinions for yours.

Scotty ran that stop sign, during the test drive, real smooth, I love this channel!!!!

I’ve watched scotty for years now and learn that the crappier the car, then the wilder the arm flairs.

Thanks for covering the Ford Direct Injected engine. I am a fleet mechanic for a public utility that primarily drives larger three axle trucks. But part of our fleet does include Ford pickups. During one of the last vehicle acquisitions the company purchased a bunch of the 3.5 gtdi powered pickups. This didnt make much sense since the pickups spend most of their time making frequent stops and starts while checking meters and poles. You see, the vehicle acquisition group never talks to the mechanics before buying vehicles. If they had, we could have told them the EcoBoost was a terrible investment for the very reasons you mentioned. Its a complex design and not very dependable especially for a truck that rarely spends any time on the open road. Turbochargers arent necessary for repeated starting and stopping in neighborhoods. Not to mention we are in the Mojave desert where temperatures of 100+ are normal throughout the summer. Not one of these pickups have held up very well. And when something goes wrong its costly. Prior to that the pickups were equipped with the 5.4 Triton. Again, why put such a big engine in a pickup that merely starts and stops hroughout the day. I wasnt terribly impressed with the 5.4 but at least it held up better than the EcoBoost

Mr. Miyagi must have been his Sensei with all this arm and hand movement LOL

hemi's always get beat into the dirt no one seems to take care of their v8, they just want the power without the maintenance.

I lost it when he say “so take the stupid cover off”😂

these new cars are throw-away when something breaks, except you'll still be making payments.....lol

Can I say keeping up on the maintenance is the key. I have a 2012 dodge Charger R/T 127,000 no tick, runs great. But I keep up on everything.

You need to franchise scotty's garage , go international. Probably need a scotty's garage mechanic school too.

Scotty: "Never buy a Brand new car!" Also Scotty: "Never buy a BMW" Still Scotty: *Buys a new Supra*

I think cars hit their zenith in reliablilty about 20 years ago. They have gotten ever more complicated without much improvement in gas mileage.

Impressive display of knowledge and expertise. Thank you for what you do Scotty Kilmer!

Scotty is a good man. I like how he calls out these big corporations with no quality control.

"If you don't succeed at first, get a longer ratchet." Words to live by.

This would explain why so many SAPD Explorers are "out of service."

If only all mechanics were like you, Scotty. Come in with an oil change...come out wanting 5000 dollars on possible fixes. We need more guys like you.

Hello, the ZF 8HP transmition is from Germany. ZF is a german company and the HQ is in Friedrichshafen/Germany (ZF Friedrichshafen AG) I work there... so thats why I know :)

Thank you for helping customers for fifty years. I like listening to your back stories on the cars you fix. Helps us get interested and be vested stakeholders in our vehicles.

8 year old charger: *clearly not taken care of by the previous owners* Scotty: "Chrysler makes junk" I mean, the car looks like it was rode hard and put away wet, and still "runs" at 148k miles. I'd say that's pretty good. The current owner overpaying isn't the car's fault.

Scotty, Great video. Your discussion in regard to the Honda 1.5L Turbo-Charged design flaw reminds me of one of the most extreme cases of bad engine designs that were released to the public. These engines were the 5.7L GM diesels that were made between 1978-1985 and placed in many of GM's cars across all of their divisions, including Cadillac, during that time period. Maybe you can do a video that documents this case history.

Great great video man, much good info you've confirmed many flaws I've long suspected

Great video Scotty~! I learnt so much in this video, like measuring the spark plugs, very grateful for these helpful tips~!

I've had three 5.7 Hemis with the 5 speed... about 400k between them, nothing crazy to report. Basic maintenance was all they needed. Great cars, in my experience.

You've got a new fan in me scotty boy! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

Love you Scotty .You have 53 years of experience.From carbsto throttle bodies to fuel injectionto superchargers& turbos .2 speed powerglides tp 3 speed TH 350'S & 400'S to 700R4 to 4L60E to C4's,C6 's torque flight. You've been involved with many massive transitions throughout your career.What you have gained is wisdom .Something that the new young engineers can only dream about .So sad .

There's nothing better than a V8 natural aspirated engine it runs flawless in any kind of vehicle

Those ford displays haven't changed in like 10 years

Hi Scottie I'm from central New Jersey. Your videos are excellent and veryt's very informative keep up the good work Norman

That plug gap is super important on boosted engines. Glad to see somebody that actually checks them before tossing them in the car.

Scotty. Once again you have proved your smarter than a dealership mechanic. Spark plugs the problem. Wow.

MAKE AMERICA V8 AGAIN

This is priceless counsel...thank you!

Live Free or Die ! I love it. Thanks for sharing all your knowledge Scotty.

Hey I need to buy some Scotty sunglasses I love those sunglasses I watch you all the time thank you for all this information I'm glad that you're around

"I wish they didn't make the threads so long" Scotty, i don't think we want another ford triton

Do you want an apprentice? I install commercial doors and hardware all day. I like working with metal and tools. Love this show man. You have my support

I love it when you can fix something like that for that cheap. Especially when they were told a 4 or 5 figure cost. Then you just got to hope it continues to work

A huge thank you to Scotty for making this video. It's crazy that it's gone as far as it has and Honda still doesn't stand behind their product.

"I got a nice long one." -Scotty Kilmer 2020 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I wish I had come across your channel years ago! Genuinely doing a great public service. Keep it up!!

I love my Mopar! I have a Scat Pack! Just take care of your car! Change oil and don’t beat them up! I’ve had a v6 too! Loved both! Just make sure you don’t get a beat up one ❤️ love your videos btw!

I'm gonna keep this one in mind as a Ford Fiesta St mk8 owner. Started watching Scotty just after buying this car. Imagine my face when i've doscovered here that 3 pot, gdi, turbocharged cars are basically complex money pits and i just got one ^^ Great channel.

To be fair Scotty.... that Charger looks like it’s been beaten to hell and very poorly maintained.... 🤷🏻‍♂️

Hell Scotty - you realise you had a smile when you accelerated that hemi... Lol!

had a similiar problem with my hyundai tuson 1.6 T , after chancing turbo and intake manifold with no result, it turned out to be wiring harness had water intrusion issues, replaced it problem solved

Did you just passively throw a pack of new spark plugs on the top rad cover??? That's a bad move. Not only can it chip the porcelain, but it can crack the plugs. Sometimes hairline. It happened to a customer I know that got mechanical work done at our shop. The parts guy went and got the parts and smacked the plugs and all the parts on the parts table. Mechanics did the tune up, put the plugs in. About 2 days later the customer ended up coming back with his vehicle on a deck truck🙄. Problem was engine check light was flashing also when the mechanics were working on it broken plugs were also noticed. Another thing resultant of that was blown coil packs as well. This happened a few times. It was found out later that it wasn't faulty plugs but the way they were handled before installation. This incident may not happen all the time, but there is a chance that it can. Sparkplugs are robust when they're installed, but should not be rough housed when not installed and in boxes especially shocked from dropping even smacks on a work table. Plugs should be handled with care. Another thing. Don't tap the plugs while gapping them, another no no I learned from senior old school mechanics on these newer plugs. Other than that your videos are amazing.

Ford Bronco dealership with their turbo charged 4 cylinders: sweats profusely.

Love that charger. Got the R/T myself, only got 90k Km on it

I had a '92 Ford Ranger extended cab with a 2.5L 4 cylinder engine. It had 2 spark plugs per cylinder. It wasn't a horsepower beast by any means, but it was reliable & always ran very smoothly.

Imagine the customer learning that he didn’t need to have 2 turbo services

Just because the customer changed the spark plugs, don't assume they did it correctly.

I think this is one of your best videos Scotty. Covers a lot and was entertaining. 👍

😎 I'm hunting for a new car and I'm taking all the information on morning from your videos to stay away from the scary ones thank you

Quality control in a country that has adopted the rule "save a nickel today even if it costs us a Dollar tomorrow". Really, I don't think so.

Cars companies hates Scotty for exposing them day by day 🤣🤣😂

I have 2018 Dodge Charger GT 3.6 V6 guess I bought the right one w/ 8 speed transmission. Your a good man Scotty for sharing extensive knowledge on cars.

I got rid of the '16 Chevy Malibu with the 1.5 turbo. (I knew the turbo was the issue.) After 4 months, I purchased a '18 Chevy Impala LT with a V6 engine. Great video.

As a customer, I would be pretty angry if you tried shooting the parts cannon at a cylinder ionization code without first swapping the ignition coil from one cylinder to another and charged me for the part.

When I seen "Honda..." I spit out my coffee.

I don't know if you hear it enough Scotty, I appreciate your efforts, and your education.

I listened Scotty. Went and got me a 1994 Toyota Corolla. A little maintenance and this thing has been good to me.

2:07 "these engines are even more complicated if you wiggle the camera"

Scotty, please help!! Toyota has recalled transmissions on 2012-2014.5 Camry's w/ 2.5 engines. Toyota refuses to replace the transmissions, only extend the Warranty 8yrs 150k miles. I bought a 2014.5 Camry the transmission does not shift right. The dealer says it's fine. Even if they replace it they only have a one year warranty on the repair. You said these transmissions were bullet proof. Now I and many Camry owners are screwed by Toyota. Please do a show on this issue.!!!!

When he crossed his fingers I thought he was flipping me off 😂😂😂😂

In virtually all industries concerning mass production it's becoming exponentially more difficult to discern "Design flaws" from "Designed flaws".

Not a fan of ford escort but am a fan of escorts

"it's hard to find that hole." I was expecting him to pop Tobey Maguire picture up in the corner. LOL

I saw the Dodge on the Thumbnail for this video and said to myself "..freakin' lifters...". I knew he'd get around to them.

I love your expressions remind me of my older brother-in-law who is a fine United States Marine mechanic during the Vietnam he say if you don’t succeed the first time get a longer ranch you said it to get a longer socket I just love that Scotty keep going brother and making my life so much easier

In regard to the spark plugs it reminds me of my high school math teacher who always said" Trust is good, control is better." I never thought that there are such differences in build quality in the same package and especially in OEM Parts.

You gotta love Scotty. Imagine this personality in a reality tv show.

Love this format.

I definitely have a peeve for mid-size vehicles with small engines. A I4 goes well with a Toyota Corolla like a V8 in a Chevrolet Tahoe.

I had a 2006 5.7 hemi, and at 107k miles one of the valve springs broke. The valve hit the piston, and made a lovely mess of that engine. I’ve never heard of that happening on a car before. I learned about hemis the hard way lol. They might look nice, but I wish I would have waited to get the Pontiac G8

I have always Been a bmw guy. But every time i see one or want one. I just hear scotty inn my ear. Endless moneypit!

I would have liked to have seen what an engine oil flush might have done to unstick those lifters. I've had lifters that I thought were worn before, tossed some engine flush in before an oil change and it quieted the engine down pretty well.

Can you PLEASE make a video about the 2016-2019 Jaguar F pace 🙏🏻🙏🏻 And how to make sure you do everything right to maintain it?
