Got a laugh at the badger picture and sound. I ran after a badger that wandered in front of the tractor while plowing. 14 yrs old and armed with a 12" crescent wrench....I should've thought it through better. Too late the badger got to his hole and did a 180 on me and growled, maybe it was a growl/hiss/snarl but it stopped me like a brick wall. I recall looking at the wrench which looked smaller by the 1/100th of a second. I slowly backed away. Never did that again. LOL

Back in the late sixties I was working in a shop and a regular customer brought his late model Buick because it had no power and was running bad. We did the normal checks and couldn't find anything really wrong with it. We were an honest shop with a good rep and not known to give up on anything so after spending hours on this thing, I went out on a limb and said it acts like someone stuck a potato up the tailpipe. No potato, so we started it up , put it in the air and checked the exhaust , which looked perfect but was cooler just after the y-pipe. We cut the pipe open and found out it had been double piped at the factory and the inner pipe had collapsed and restricted the exhaust flow. we asked the customer and he said he had run through a giant puddle at the cottage just before the this all happened. The inside pipe was hotter and the sudden cooling caused it to collapse while the outside looked normal. Your story reminded me of this.

Scotty, I worked on a tree crew for a county in MD. The boss's truck was a Dodge crew cab pickup, and every morning and afternoon the truck would pick up and drop off fellow workers. I would use the Dodge, which was high mileage to get lunch for the guys on my crew. The front end would pop and crack when turns were made--- it was a bad sound, and I said that the front end needed serious work. I was told that I didn't know what I was talking about. Well, one afternoon going home that truck, with about 5 riders, was crossing railroad tracks, and right then, both front wheels came unmoored from the linkage and wound up laying flat on the road. The front end was totally shot due to high mileage, and no remediation measures being taken. Had a train come along right at that time, people could have been hurt or killed; not to mention later on the trip, they would've hit 65-70 mph on I-270.

I'm such a stereotypical female never changing my oil. Proud to say I got an oil change today (along with a new radiator and water pump and 2 grand worth of parts and labor) but never will I neglect my 16 year old 185,000 mile baby again!

[@DavidBrown-ih4gf]

Good thing you put the lug cap back on. Would have looked terrible without it.

[@jeebs2009]

Lived in Humble before moving to Austin because of the scary T storms and the fast rising water. Also way too hot and humid.

[@Sweetrides577]

That 3rd customer drove his car to the wheel fall off literally lol

[@johnberry2877]

My coworker bought a new Equinox and literally had the rear wheel bearing failure at just over 800 miles and the wheel came off on the e way. It damm near killed her and the car was destroyed on the rt rear wheel well and facia. Needless to say the dealer said that’s common on these vehicles and it is no big deal🤣

[@jamesmchugo9422]

@@johnberry2877 how New? The current model? I’m asking because I have an Equinox. Have already put on close to 60,000 miles and I’d like to know if should be having a concern.

@@johnberry2877 Yikes! that should be a lawsuit!...but that's how crappy GM is, used taxpayers to bail them out and in return gives us CRAP!

You dont have to post everyday, i still have so much of your older videos to watch

Scotty question regarding oil: I only drive my car about 3,000 Miles a year - am I okay to change the oil once every 12 months?

[@Charlie_Crown]

"Go to a junkyard", shows picture of a Chevrolet dealership 😂😂😂

[@esanhusky]

I also learned my lesson taking my 2.7l Sebring (yeah, I know) yo quick change places. They use smaller filters to save money, that get clogged quickly, and within 500 miles, there's already too little pressure to keep the tensioner and lifters tight

Good Afternoon Scotty !!!

[@scottykilmer]

afternoon!

[@hurricanearthur9742]

I always like to see Scotty in his natural environment. Great expert, great mechniac, so much better from those fancy young dealer boys thinking they know everything.

[@bill358]

I love how he said put the oil cap back on before you start it 3 times and he forgot the dip stick wasn't in it 😂😂

[@derekr3895]

Literally doesn't matter.

[@brianvogt8125]

It noticed that, and thought he was careless - but then he used the dipstick again after starting the engine (as you should) - and it made sense.

[@MrGunner945]

@@derekr3895 had a friend who forgot to put the dipstick back in. after driving the car, ended up popping the hood and found oil all over the engine bay.

I know someone with this same highlander, but it's maroon, it has 60k miles and it knocks..like, a rod knock , someone much have beat the brakes off it, or overheated it and bent a rod or did damage to the bearings

[@thomasgarrison3949]

Another great video. Like you, I always change my oil, when specified by the owners manual. I am glad my vehicles suck air from the top of the engine, not like that sports car with the blown engine.

[@jimichan7649]

Worth watching again.

[@colemant6845]

This is the BASIC Scotty videos that we appreciate. Us DIY guys like these... Not the Glossy, Hollywood/Corporate stuff you have been doing. JMHO

[@bigjockdogg]

Just crackin' up at how Scotty talks and explains things. Hilarious but effective 🤣

[@donaldhollingsworth3875]

When I was in the Marine Corps we had this problem with our AMTRACKS. If the connecting rod didn't bend or break. The engine stopped due to what we called hydtostatic lock.

[@jerrettwitherow7150]

Teach us Scotty teach us

[@SeattleSoulFan]

Some years ago my mechanic did an engine overhaul on a Saab 96 V4. The customer literally never lifted the hood for the next few years, and the engine ran completely out of oil. Given that this was in Seattle, you'd think the customer would at least have opened the hood to top up the washer fluid.

Never drive through water. You can’t tell how deep it is from the top.

[@gentlemanzackp6591]

yah a friend had a pretty tricked out Land Rover range rover, mild lifted and all, drove through up to maybe 3 feet, (it had an snorkel) but 2 weeks later both of his diffrentals blew. mech opened it up. milkshake-white grease poured out. water+grease = bad cost him 8k for new diff's + new shims. + labor

[@chrisslaughter5552]

I got a good deal on this used car 87 Yugo limited Yugos there only 1 left on the road on the side of it...it had free tripe AAA on the windshield and it wouldn’t start the salesman said that keeps it from getting stolen.. So they gave me a 5 or 5 warranty 5 foot or 5 feet whatever comes first it had a 4 in the floor and a 5th under the seat after towing it home it’s in the back yard the kids play in it.. For 5 grand it’s a Collector special

hello Scotty

[@jjeherrera]

I used to have a Beetle back in the 70s, and it would go easily through floods. All I had to do is to keep accelerating. Sometimes the wave would almost reach the wind shield. And of course, the water wouldn't come into the car. I'd never dare to do it in a modern car. I wonder what happens with electric cars if they go through floods.

We've all been guilty of breaking one of these commandments one time or another 💸

[@dalefrolander3583]

Pour the oil with the spout at the top of the container instead of the bottom so the container can get air. That way it won't go glug glug glug when it pours. 3:21
