Scotty I wish you talk more about the geo metro I know your not a fan of gm but I got a geo metro 1994 automatic I know it’s sad that’s it’s not a standard but it gets great gas the only thing it does it dies when you come to a stop if you don’t put your foot on gas just a little it’s a great car only paid 500$ and it’s got 130k miles.

Scotty was my mechanic when I lived in Houston. My 93 Accord ran better than it did from the factory after he replaced the timing belt. I always wondered how he made money because he would usually spend 1/2 hour giving me DIY tips when I picked up my cars from him.

@@niemi5858 I remember my dad telling me when he was a kid his father would make a huge pot of spaghetti, or chili or whatever and they didn't eat anything else until that was all gone. I thought what a mean father. Now I do that! Btw my dad was my best friend ever and I really miss him. I'm sure you feel the same about yours, I am guessing you were very close as well.
@@brokentombot I've never used Aerokroil. I may give it a try next time I buy penetrating fluid. But honestly, I've been sold on PB for about 15 years now. If I have project with rusty bolts, I'll generally hit them daily for a few days before the job and I rarely have any fastener issues. Granted, I don't live in the north or near the coasts where everything is corroded beyond recognition.
Scotty is right again! My father-in-law owned a mechanic shop that worked on only American cars, and mostly classic cars. He told me to use Sea Foam on my '02 Infiniti I35. Every seal imaginable started leaking oil... That's the story of how I now own an Acura TL.
@@markh.6687 youdon't really use wd-40 for rusted bolts on a car or elsewhere as it does not penetrate well. it is best on things like hinges or other minor metal items that need some lubrication but are not totally rusted. pb blaster is better on rusted bolts or nuts,especially if you can leave it for a short time before removal.
@@hellshade2 I've used WD on lightly rusted items; LPS-1 for the bad stuff, since I have it handy. Have used PB and it is better than WD-40 on rust by a mile. Looks like Home Depot and Advance Auto Pars carry PB in store.
pb blaster is great stuff! My dad use to use it all the time, he taught me to spray some on any rusty bolts before even trying to loosen them. Sometimes the really stuck nuts and bolts we would spray them and let them sit over night. Now in my mid 30s, I always have a can of this stuff in the garage at all times.
Every mechanic has told me the same thing about the A/C sealer. That being said, I put it in my truck approximately 10 yrs ago. A/C stills blows cold to this day, and it's one of Scottys favorites, a dodge.
I'm glad he finally got to a product that I used, PB Blaster, we used this at the locomotive shop I used to work in-this stuff is amazing on getting rusted parts to break apart-highly recommended....
A UA-cam channel proved that Liquid Wrench beats PB Blaster for loosening rusted parts. Been around as long as I can remember, I am 68 LOVE it. Mechanic for 50 years also.
Tyre slime works really well so long as the puncture you're trying to fix isn't huge. It's particularly good for things from pushbikes to dirt bikes to quads. It's also good for a get you home where cars are concerned but just be prepared to get moaned at by your tyre shop though when it comes to fixing or replacing your rubber!

I've used Slime in bike, wheel barrow and land mower tires and it worked like magic and it has lasted. Interesting to note not a good idea to use in car tires. Scotty keep up the advice!
I used the AC Pro in my 2006 Corolla when I bought it at 135k, ac didnt work. The AC Pro made it blow cold and drove the car for 4 years, never any issues. Sold it to a friend and its still running perfect.
Hey Scotty, love your vids, always great information and tips. My sons and I have been watching and learning for years now. Funny you should mention Blaster, as I picked up a couple of cans a while back at Harbor Freight of all places. Please keep passing on your knowledge, it is very greatly appreciated by millions of us DIY amateur mechanics.
Back in the late 70s, early 80s my dad used Armor All on my mother's vinyl seats. She told him to never do it again because when she had to make an emergency stop she almost slid off the seat while wearing her seatbelt. I miss that VW 412 wagon.
Scotty. I normally agree with you on most things. But I will have to differ on the seafoam. I've been a mechanic for 30 years and it's an amazing product, if you want an inexpensive tune up on an old, high mileage car. I have had amazing luck with this and so have many that I know, that have used it. It may indeed , not work for brand new cars, but who the heck has money for new cars. Haaaa. I sure don't.
My dad rarely has to use Slime but everytime he has had to use it it has got him buy until he needed to replace the tire. My dad uses PB Blaster all the time and works very well.
Hey Scotty, just wanted to let you know that every HomeDepot I have gone to, in every state visited, has had PB Blaster on the shelf. Really enjoy your videos.
10 years at a parts store. I've found that cheap carb cleaner can work just as well as Seafoam for intake cleaning. Slime is the best all-around tire sealant I know of. Great to follow up with after plugging a tire. As the directions say, all you have to do to keep it from settling at the bottom, and unbalancing the tire is to drive around (the longer, the better) immediately after you finish putting it into the tire.
That's what it was made for. Small motors with drip carbs. Using it on big engines with fuel injectors and fuel mix computers makes no sense, but it does make large white clouds.
@@dianahardy7916 Good for you! Where to you live? Here in Canada, our summer gear sits in a garage for 6 months in the winter unused, the snow blowers sit in the garage all summer. The stuff works great as a fuel stabilizer.
I filled my dad’s 1985 maxima up with bad gas in 1990’s. Car ran terrible for a month until I tried seafoam as a last resort. I thought it was a gimmick but my auto tech teacher told me to try it before tearing it apart. It worked
Yep...I use Slime bicycle products all the time and they're very good there. I put a Slime self-sealing inner tube on the rear three years ago and no flats at all.
Say what you want about Seafoam, I've used it to clean the crud of neglect out of a lot of engines, both gasser and diesel. It works well when used as directed.
I agree with you that I would not put restore in my Toyota or Honda but I have put it in several Tractors and Large Diesel Generators that had lots of blowby, one of which was using 1 gal/day of oil... Two 8cyl bottles of restore put in on separate days about a week apart reduced that usage down to about 1 quart/day. That is significant. Did it fix the bad rings, no... did it help me through the immediate situation, yes. I was in a time after a hurricane when we needed that generator to run and could not take it offline to rebuild it. This product saved the day in that case.
A friend of mine used Armour all, on his Broncos floor mats...it was like having the floor frozen in ice, couldn't even brace for a stop sign! You just slide to the firewall!!!
@@garyjohnson1970 That's true especially if you live in the South. The heat and humidity are brutal. Turtle wax makes a great interior spray that does a much better job. It also doesn't leave that greasy sheen on the interior.
Retired lawman of 22 years . USED P.B. Blaster to clean and lube my service weapon. Made it a quick way to clean the lead and junk out of my barrel. No issues with jams or sticking. Just my experience
I've seen Seafoam work magic but not on anything newer than a 90's car, just haven't seen anyone try. Just happened to be an old fuel injected Ford 5.0 OHV every time, a few low output ones and one Mustang. The effect it has on a bad idle is pretty surprising, but no idea how that would effect a modern car.
Mechanic here...I agree, I live PB Blaster too. Also, tire repair slime or fix a flat products can also damage your tire pressure sensors. So beware. That $5 can can cost you hundreds
I do agree with your premise on "engine rebuilder", its bogus. However, being BBB accredited is also bogus. If you pay them enough, theyll list you as A+ bbb accredited.
Yelp does this scam as well by intimidating businesses into paying to participate. They will move negative reviews further down the list, or make them disappear entirely.
When I was a kid with my first car ( 91 geo prism ) my alternator went out . I had no father and I took it to a small shop to get it fixed , guy knew my dad had passed( small town) . He only charged me for the part and showed me how to do it . That old mechanic gave me the confidence to work on my own cars to this day.
Like Scotty, I don't use Armor All. I discovered a silicone based vinyl treatment called SC-1 by Maxim. It is used on dirt bikes and the tag line they use is "New Bike In A Can" and it does make the bike look new!
Years ago a trim shop guy told me to never use Armoral on vinyl. He said the shine is because it actually socks the oils out of your vinyl to the surface. Said it dries it out in short order with regular use.
@@jacobwilliams5868 Slime is honest about it...kudos to them: "Can I use Slime Tube Sealant in a tubeless tire? No. This red label Tube sealant formula does not contain the rust and corrosion inhibitors necessary to protect a tubeless wheel. We do not recommend or guarantee performance of the product in this application. But Slime does offer a NEW 2-in-1 Tire & Tube sealant (black label) that will work in a tubeless tire, or a tire with a tube. Same great Slime two year protection, with more flexibility!"
I know it's one of the best that penetrates bolt treads the best to ease loosening. Also seafoam treatments do remove carbon and leave your engine running and idling smoother after. For the fuel it also cleans and lubricates etc.
Tire slime does work, for leaky valves and small punctures. Not for huge nail holes. I keep a can in the car for emergencies, and a can in the garage for the bikes.
Hey Scotty, I used the PB Blaster when I had to replace the drains in my kitchen sink. The lock nut on the bottom of the drain was so stuck it wouldn't come loose. I sprayed the PB Blaster on, let it sit for an hour and Voila! loose lock nut. Great stuff. Another item I have used for 50 years is Marvel Mystery Oil. What is your take on Marvel Mystery Oil?
However, as for Advance Auto carrying ATP AT-205, it seems locally around Philadelphia, they're phasing it out! Autozone, Pepboys don't carry it, and NAPA is limited. I emailed ATP and am awaiting a response.
Anytime I see someone in the auto parts store, usually a lady or young person trying to decide on something like Seafoam, I share the story of my dad's '87 Silverado. I inherited it after he passed. It basically sat for about 3 years. Mom drove it occasionally but she didn't realize it had fuel filler doors on both sides. One of the tanks was full of 3 year old gas. I flew to Oklahoma from New Orleans to drive it back. While driving around town for a couple of days before heading south I switched tanks and the engine sputtered and died. The inside of the gas cap smelled like paint thinner. I put 6-8 cans of Berryman B-12 Chemtool in there and it cleaned it up enough for me to drive the tank dry. I had the throttle body injectors cleaned when I got back to New Orleans. I swear by Berryman.
in my test it does way better job for gas but sea foam is great to use in oil it removes alot of sludge in neglected engines tested buy me on every old car 90 or older iv restored
I use Chevron Techron and also Seafoam in my c5 Corvette gas tank because the fuel sender loves to act up due to sulfur in the gas. It does make them work again.
Poured Sea Foam inside the head of a commercial mower engine. Reason being my brother-in law was too cheap to change a spark plug until it wouldn't run at all. So by the time he bought a plug their was so much carbon build up it just fouled the plug. He called the deal and they wanted over 300 bucks to take off the head and clean it out. So I let the seafoam foam over night, put an old plug in it. Started it up and it smoked like hell for over 10 minutes. Then I put a new plug in it. As far as I know it's still running to this day.
I was a manager for a couple of the box auto parts stores and have turned more than a couple of wrenchs in my day. I had to sell what the "all knowing" customer wanted but I wholeheartedly agree with everything in this video. BTW, I am currently living south of Houston and can find P.B. at all the green stores here.
Wife's car burned 2 quarts of oil between changes. Added restore to old oil about 1500 miles before oil change.( I figured a fresh oil filter might trap most of the product and the old clogged filter would let it bypass) Her rig now only burns about one quart between oil changes. Her car has 224k.
Maguires actually makes some really nice interior detailing sprays. Are used the Quick detailer and matte finish protectant on my dashboard in front door panels. I haven’t had any issues with that end it looks like new again. That’s my recommendation.
I've used Slime one time. Pulled out the roofing tack and removed the Schrader valve and put in roughly a teaspoon of the slime rotated tire to where the function with points right down and put air in the tire it sealed and was still balanced. I use seafoam in my 2000 Dodge Dakota 3.9 sucking it through the vacuum system and surprisingly I did get a improvement running and response after 290,000 Miles
I'm 17 and my highschool auto tech teacher swears by pb blaster. There's always a can in the shop. Every time we have a stuck bolt it takes it right off. Can't beat it in my opinion it's saved so much time and money for us at the shop.
i have a 1978 Toyota truck with the wolverine 4x4 package with the original engine, it was rebuilt @ 260,000 miles only problem is the floor in the cab didn't last as long as the floor boards LOL thank you for your videos .

Really enjoy your videos.
10 years at a parts store. I've found that cheap carb cleaner can work just as well as Seafoam for intake cleaning. Slime is the best all-around tire sealant I know of. Great to follow up with after plugging a tire. As the directions say, all you have to do to keep it from settling at the bottom, and unbalancing the tire is to drive around (the longer, the better) immediately after you finish putting it into the tire.
I use Seafoam in all my small engine power equipment. Haven't had to clean a carb in years.
That's what it was made for. Small motors with drip carbs. Using it on big engines with fuel injectors and fuel mix computers makes no sense, but it does make large white clouds.
I do not use it in my power equipment engines and I have not had to clean a carb ever.
@@dianahardy7916 Good for you! Where to you live? Here in Canada, our summer gear sits in a garage for 6 months in the winter unused, the snow blowers sit in the garage all summer. The stuff works great as a fuel stabilizer.
I'm not surprised that Scotty's wife is allergic to Bullsh!t as well🤣
Nice catch 👌🏻🤣
LOL
@DOhnUtz very good! 👍😎🤣🤣🤣
I filled my dad’s 1985 maxima up with bad gas in 1990’s. Car ran terrible for a month until I tried seafoam as a last resort. I thought it was a gimmick but my auto tech teacher told me to try it before tearing it apart. It worked
PB Blaster saved my butt when I was doing my brakes a few months ago. Love it!
I use Sea Foam on all my small motors. Works great.
Same here. Chainsaw, weed eater etc. works great. In the vehicles, no.
Cleared up a rough idle in my riding mower
i use it on anything that has a carb.
Is it useful for old lawnmowers?
For what it’s worth, Slime works wonders in bicycle inner tubes. I’ve pulled nails out of my tires, got back on and kept going!
Yep...I use Slime bicycle products all the time and they're very good there. I put a Slime self-sealing inner tube on the rear three years ago and no flats at all.

PB Blast is good stuff! Loosens stuck bolts, let it soak overnight 👍
Say what you want about Seafoam, I've used it to clean the crud of neglect out of a lot of engines, both gasser and diesel. It works well when used as directed.
Agreed. It's worked wonders for me in the past.
I agree with you that I would not put restore in my Toyota or Honda but I have put it in several Tractors and Large Diesel Generators that had lots of blowby, one of which was using 1 gal/day of oil... Two 8cyl bottles of restore put in on separate days about a week apart reduced that usage down to about 1 quart/day. That is significant. Did it fix the bad rings, no... did it help me through the immediate situation, yes. I was in a time after a hurricane when we needed that generator to run and could not take it offline to rebuild it. This product saved the day in that case.
PB Blaster is made here in Cleveland Ohio, we use it liberally for everything stuck! Aka weasel piss. Huge fan of it!
Ha ha weasel piss.
I'll store some next to the gorilla snot ( grease)
Love PB Blaster, made in Cleveland Ohio headquarters is in Independence.
Maybe you can use it in your Brown's next year when they get stuck in the bottom of the AFC North! Lol
The only honest gifted master mechanic in the world.
I find Armor All to leave a greasy shiney residue on the dash which can cause excessive reflective glare on sunny days.
A friend of mine used Armour all, on his Broncos floor mats...it was like having the floor frozen in ice, couldn't even brace for a stop sign! You just slide to the firewall!!!
It also shortens material life. Drys it out, makes it crumble.
I use the armor all flat finish, hard to find but a nice low Lustre finish.
@@garyjohnson1970 That's true especially if you live in the South. The heat and humidity are brutal. Turtle wax makes a great interior spray that does a much better job. It also doesn't leave that greasy sheen on the interior.
Olive oil works for me . No kidding
Retired lawman of 22 years . USED P.B. Blaster to clean and lube my service weapon. Made it a quick way to clean the lead and junk out of my barrel. No issues with jams or sticking. Just my experience
I've seen Seafoam work magic but not on anything newer than a 90's car, just haven't seen anyone try. Just happened to be an old fuel injected Ford 5.0 OHV every time, a few low output ones and one Mustang. The effect it has on a bad idle is pretty surprising, but no idea how that would effect a modern car.
Agreed, PB blaster is really good!
PB Blaster is a must! It's the only reason I ever go into our local Advance Auto.
Gotta love the extras in the corner of these videos. Best one to date was the Tin Man lubing himself in bed in this one LOL
Mechanic here...I agree, I live PB Blaster too.
Also, tire repair slime or fix a flat products can also damage your tire pressure sensors. So beware. That $5 can can cost you hundreds
Agree with all EXCEPT Engine Restore. This stuff is fantastic!!!
I do agree with your premise on "engine rebuilder", its bogus.
However, being BBB accredited is also bogus. If you pay them enough, theyll list you as A+ bbb accredited.
Very true..own a business...bbb the worst telemarketer s
Yelp does this scam as well by intimidating businesses into paying to participate. They will move negative reviews further down the list, or make them disappear entirely.
If you gotta fill it up once a year
“Heck just fill it once a year “ love this guy
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE PB BLASTER! Used it all the time in my bicycle shop. Got it at dollar general.
SeaFoam does work for my 05 Yukon. It starts better. Also my Son-in-law uses in his motorcycle, and it dose help starting an driving.
When I was a kid with my first car ( 91 geo prism ) my alternator went out . I had no father and I took it to a small shop to get it fixed , guy knew my dad had passed( small town) . He only charged me for the part and showed me how to do it . That old mechanic gave me the confidence to work on my own cars to this day.
Omg i thought I was the only person who thought armour all was crap!. Every time I ever tried it my dash ended up cracking!
I noticed dashes cracked when ArmorAll was used year-round. I only used it one day/year on a hot summer day and my dashes wouldn't crack.
To me, the best way to protect your car's interior is to get UV protective tinted windows, and use a dash reflector.
I was waiting for Scotty to accidentally chuck a product with his hand motions XD
That's funny, I would love to see that...
Good point about the Slime tire product, Scotty. It does work great in my (bicycle) tires, though....
"My wife is allergic to the stuff"..... Perfect, start using it everywhere 😂😂😂
Like Scotty, I don't use Armor All. I discovered a silicone based vinyl treatment called SC-1 by Maxim. It is used on dirt bikes and the tag line they use is "New Bike In A Can" and it does make the bike look new!
Years ago a trim shop guy told me to never use Armoral on vinyl. He said the shine is because it actually socks the oils out of your vinyl to the surface. Said it dries it out in short order with regular use.
The slime works great when your in canada on a mud road with no place for a jack to change tire.
Yep same here
Tire-ject well recommended by Wes from onelonelyfarmer@ none of them any good for road use.
I have had it save me countless time s
Appreciated the way he ended the video on a positive note. Some people can really benefit from some positivity.
We use slime in our dirt bike tires, works good.
It’s ok for lawn mower, wheelbarrow tires... but better to put a tube in.
He said don't leave it in you car tires for extended periods.
It works Awesome for me i buy used tires for 20 bucks throw some slime in em if they leak and let em ride but they will corrode your rims
@@jacobwilliams5868 corrode your wheels? Damn. Ok good to know. Good thing we only use it when needed in a pinch.
@@jacobwilliams5868 Slime is honest about it...kudos to them:
"Can I use Slime Tube Sealant in a tubeless tire?
No. This red label Tube sealant formula does not contain the rust and corrosion inhibitors necessary to protect a tubeless wheel. We do not recommend or guarantee performance of the product in this application. But Slime does offer a NEW 2-in-1 Tire & Tube sealant (black label) that will work in a tubeless tire, or a tire with a tube. Same great Slime two year protection, with more flexibility!"
This is the only thing you ever said I disagree with tire slime ... it's a must have item but the rest 100% thanks for the great videos
Deep Creep by Sea Foam is the best penetrating oil I use. It hasn't let me down so far.
I know it's one of the best that penetrates bolt treads the best to ease loosening. Also seafoam treatments do remove carbon and leave your engine running and idling smoother after. For the fuel it also cleans and lubricates etc.
I never get tired of the laughing animals.
Me either. The laughing horses and donkeys are hilarious.
The Zebras killer
Scotty recommends PB blaster, I'm BUYING STOCK!
It's the greatest stuff if you have an old toyota in the north east. Couldn't get nuts and bolts off without it
I never had luck with that stuff
Wax oil does a better job.
Tire slime does work, for leaky valves and small punctures. Not for huge nail holes. I keep a can in the car for emergencies, and a can in the garage for the bikes.
Hey Scotty, I used the PB Blaster when I had to replace the drains in my kitchen sink. The lock nut on the bottom of the drain was so stuck it wouldn't come loose. I sprayed the PB Blaster on, let it sit for an hour and Voila! loose lock nut. Great stuff. Another item I have used for 50 years is Marvel Mystery Oil. What is your take on Marvel Mystery Oil?
PB Blaster has many uses, my favorite use is as a pepper spray!
😆
Its also go for joint pain.
that crap burns too.
It kills spiders, too.
PB Blaster, awesome stuff, on the shelf at the local Walmart, and at a good price.
However, as for Advance Auto carrying ATP AT-205, it seems locally around Philadelphia, they're phasing it out! Autozone, Pepboys don't carry it, and NAPA is limited. I emailed ATP and am awaiting a response.
Anytime I see someone in the auto parts store, usually a lady or young person trying to decide on something like Seafoam, I share the story of my dad's '87 Silverado. I inherited it after he passed. It basically sat for about 3 years. Mom drove it occasionally but she didn't realize it had fuel filler doors on both sides. One of the tanks was full of 3 year old gas. I flew to Oklahoma from New Orleans to drive it back. While driving around town for a couple of days before heading south I switched tanks and the engine sputtered and died. The inside of the gas cap smelled like paint thinner. I put 6-8 cans of Berryman B-12 Chemtool in there and it cleaned it up enough for me to drive the tank dry. I had the throttle body injectors cleaned when I got back to New Orleans. I swear by Berryman.
in my test it does way better job for gas but sea foam is great to use in oil it removes alot of sludge in neglected engines tested buy me on every old car 90 or older iv restored
I use Chevron Techron and also Seafoam in my c5 Corvette gas tank because the fuel sender loves to act up due to sulfur in the gas. It does make them work again.
Poured Sea Foam inside the head of a commercial mower engine. Reason being my brother-in law was too cheap to change a spark plug until it wouldn't run at all. So by the time he bought a plug their was so much carbon build up it just fouled the plug. He called the deal and they wanted over 300 bucks to take off the head and clean it out. So I let the seafoam foam over night, put an old plug in it. Started it up and it smoked like hell for over 10 minutes. Then I put a new plug in it. As far as I know it's still running to this day.
I can only hope to have this much energy when I'm his age 🤣🤣. I'm loving these videos, always nice to learn some inside honesty from the pros.
I'm 8 years younger than Scotty with 1/10th of his energy. I need to try a caffeine food additive to rev up my engine!
,no good
Stinks
Junk
Well Scotty, I’m like that PB Blaster. I’m old so I have adjustable flow, too!
Depends on what I drink.
I love that PB Blaster! I use it in lots of agricultural applications!
I was a manager for a couple of the box auto parts stores and have turned more than a couple of wrenchs in my day. I had to sell what the "all knowing" customer wanted but I wholeheartedly agree with everything in this video. BTW, I am currently living south of Houston and can find P.B. at all the green stores here.
Wife's car burned 2 quarts of oil between changes. Added restore to old oil about 1500 miles before oil change.( I figured a fresh oil filter might trap most of the product and the old clogged filter would let it bypass) Her rig now only burns about one quart between oil changes. Her car has 224k.
It’s been tough milking enough snakes to refine the oil. PETA wants to shut me down. 🤷♂️😏
You're getting killed by knockoffs.
You mean people eating tasty animals?
Maguires actually makes some really nice interior detailing sprays. Are used the Quick detailer and matte finish protectant on my dashboard in front door panels. I haven’t had any issues with that end it looks like new again. That’s my recommendation.
I've been using PB parts blaster for decades. For me it works better than liquid wrench.
I've used Slime one time. Pulled out the roofing tack and removed the Schrader valve and put in roughly a teaspoon of the slime rotated tire to where the function with points right down and put air in the tire it sealed and was still balanced. I use seafoam in my 2000 Dodge Dakota 3.9 sucking it through the vacuum system and surprisingly I did get a improvement running and response after 290,000 Miles
I agree with all but slime, Slime is pretty great for motorcycle tires at least, the rest are nearly worthless though
Guilty of wasting my money on 2 of these products thank you Scotty for telling the truth, your my hero 😎👍
Oh man, I've been using PB blaster for years, great stuff.
I use Deep Creep (by sea foam) as a penetrating oil and Fluid Film as a protectant. Best I have found.
I'm 17 and my highschool auto tech teacher swears by pb blaster. There's always a can in the shop. Every time we have a stuck bolt it takes it right off. Can't beat it in my opinion it's saved so much time and money for us at the shop.
i have a 1978 Toyota truck with the wolverine 4x4 package with the original engine, it was rebuilt @ 260,000 miles only problem is the floor in the cab didn't last as long as the floor boards LOL thank you for your videos .
