Countless modern cars have the battery mounted in the trunk . it protects the battery from engine compartment heat , and extreme cold outside temperatures , the main things that shorten battery life . that's why it is not uncommon to see car batteries last 10 years now . cables can be as long as you want them , as long as they are the correct gauge . at least dodge made the starter easy to replace . ever replaced the starter on a tundra ?

My Dad was a taxi driver in Australia. In the early 90s, the taxis were mainly EB Ford Falcons. Four litre straight six. It was so crowded under the hood that they relentlessly cooked the batteries of cars that were on the road 24/7. Repositioning the battery to the trunk in a marine cradle was a standard modification for that model. That created other issues. Good times! PS. Love your videos, Scotty. 👍

AC used for power distribution primarily do to easy & cheaper conversion to higher, then lower voltages. Thereby reducing current needed, which reduce I^2R looses. Actually DC current will incur less transmission loss due to AC skin effect and coronal discharge. Some large power transmission systems use DC.

My OEM Miata battery was in the trunk of a white car. It lasted over 15 years. I finally replaced it for age but it still started the car . Heat kills batteries. Under the hood is convenient for mechanics, but they don't last as long. My daughter's HHR has the battery buried under the rear cargo panel, but it lasted a long time. That one was 10 years old before we replaced it two years back. HHR is a Cobalt/Equinox/Saturn Vue, but the retro fender made them move the battery.

Hybrids put the engine to high load after start to heat up faster and use the power produced to charge the battery. Eco and Power mode usually only change the gas pedal mapping, you get more power earlier, nothing else changes. Usually you can get better launch performance by braking and pushing the gas pedal at the same time, this will rev up the engine, just release the brake to launch.

We have a custom built 2000 Dodge RAM 2500 Class 3 that we bought about 12-13 years ago. It's rusting like crazy but it's strong, runs great, and mechanically, hubs hasn't had to do much at all to it. Since we have no payments on it, we're keeping it and restoring it. It's great for heavy hauls like firewood, stone, mulch and all kinds of heavy stuff.

@@Christ_is_King777 Actually, I don't think it's even hit 100K yet, but if so, it's not much over. Oh, and the reason it's rusting so much is the original owner lived in Wisconsin (winter weather!) and it went through a hail storm. It was owned by a trucker who had it built to haul heavy transformers.

I have a 2018 Kia Soul 2.0 that I bought before hearing you say not to buy Kia. So far(50,000) it is running fine and has pick up. It was built in Korea. My problem has been all the plastic wheel well, etc is falling off because of these awful roads we have in the south.

Hey Scotty I just got a 2022 Kia K5. What is your opinion on Kia’s new K5 line? And I love your videos!

I remember replacing the brushes in my brother-in-law's Toyota Celica. 123K miles and that was the only work besides oil and filters. $8 for the brushes (many years ago) and the alternator was on top of the engine where it should be - super easy access. It was a five minute job. 8:00 - I remove the negative battery terminal first and reconnect the negative terminal last to prevent inadvertent spot-welding-a-wrench-to-the-engine short circuits. It's natural to disconnect the positive battery terminal to remove power, but disconnecting the negative terminal does the same thing and it's safer.

i heard a politician talking about people being held accountable??? today. maintenance and repairable parts in the past and politicians who seemed more honest are a dream.

Scotty, several months ago you said Volvo was the best brand of European car and how tough those XC70 were, my wife's feelings are now hurt!

[@srnc9740]

He changes his opinions like the weather does! When someone brings a "piece of crap" for showing up, then he change his vocabulary and that cars are not so bad!

[@are-you-ready2518]

Volvo: First time I heard you bash Volvo! Kia: My flooring contractor has a 2012 Optima Hybrid loaded up. First the electric motor went out under warranty. But they said he had to pay $2000 for wiring not covered under warranty. After complaining to Kia, he got it down to $1000. After that he said the gas engine "blew up". I think you're right about Kia and Hyundai; they talk the talk, but they don't walk the walk.

I like watching your video. Keep making them funny...

[@rocketwitron8148]

Scotty I usually agree with you but the reason the battery is in the trunk on European cars is for cold weather.

[@janetyeoman1544]

Living in Canada, I doubt that is the reason. Northern US and Canadian winters are colder. My Miata NB and Porsche 928 had them in the trunk but that was due to lack of space up front.
