Hi Scotty I love your videos I watch them after I clock out at my job at autozone. I got a question for you. I have a 1986 Dodge Ram 250 custom collecter pickup truck 5.2ltr V8 2 BBL carb 132,000 miles that’s been sitting for 18 years and is in great condition. What major things should I check before I take it out on the road for the first time. I also just replaced the valve cover gaskets and torqued all 8 of the plugs.
Me too my friend! I’m battling the rare men’s breast cancer stage 2 and stage 1 lymph node cancer! I’m heading into my 4th chemo treatment and it’s been a ride so far!! Hang in there my friend! Scotty thank you for being you!
It was stated in the release that it was 808 on pump fuel. To get the 840 u had to get the demon box with the new ecu and had to run 100 octane fuel. They will lose that court battle
Control Freak adding on that I don’t think it’s legal for a car to only be able to run 100 octane. The ecu that comes in the demon crate for $1 can only run 100 octane fuel. I pretty sure so if I am wrong don’t hurt me lol
First comment and let me tell you; I own a 2015 Hellcat and all I gotta say after four years of ownership; expect to pay as much on maintenance as you did on buying the car 😭. Also, if anyone is looking to buy a pre-owned Hellcat I’m selling it :)
Nick B it’s an absolute blast...when it works. But the electronics have literally left me stranded before. It’s like marrying someone bipolar; the love making is fantastic but you avoid being in the kitchen with them because there are knives and you don’t know if that person might just decide to snap that day....owning a Hellcat is kind of like that.
Most new cars are like that but, halo cars are quirky and temperamental. When anyone buys such a car be prepared to pay through the nose. If you want something that won't cost you so much, but a Toyota, not exciting, it'll be more your cup of tea.
No Grip NC I would but do not have the time to dedicate to it...I do well with my businesses fortunately and it makes more sense for me to continue improving and managing those than work on my car. One day though I would LOVE to be my own mechanic!!! I have the upmost respect for those men and women that are
I understand you so much. I had a camaro 2SS fully loaded with zl1 brake and magmetic ride, I had it 4 years, was fantastic (not as powerfull as your hellcat), but sold it 2 weeks ago. Best decision in my life. Maintenance was so high, unexpected repairs that I never had on any cars, 3 or 4 time more expensive than normal.
Dodge actually got rated highly on consumer reports for reliability the last few years. I love my 17' AWD challenger. Fun, decent on fuel, and handles Colorado snow well! The Pentastar V6 still has plenty of horsepower for me at 305HP
I've got a 2012 charger sxt plus awd, it's also a beast in the winter time here in canada. Really great vehicle, tons of features, solid engine and transmission, love it.
THEY PAID SOMEBODY OFF TO GET THOSE RATINGS, I SELL THIS TRASH, WORKED AT SEVERAL CHRYSLER STEALERSHIPS, THIS STUFF IS CANDY COATED CRAP, THE SERVICE DEPT IS FULL EVERYDAY ,I WONT EVEN DRIVE MY DEMO,
They never lied, we knew you needed the extra pcm and race gas for the 840. People getting a demon are looking to have fun not be reliable and save gas lol
Azooz Azzami agreed, he is just some Ford or Chevy fanboy, all the problems he announced in the video have easy fixes, my dad owns a scat pack and has never had a problem
The Toyota Corolla is as close to bullet proof as a car can get. The Mitsubishi Colt used to be that way but I can't remember how long ago they stopped being made.
Have a 2004 Dodge Stratus SXT with the dreaded 2.7 liter engine, had little to no mechanical issues and it has more than 157,000. Live in the North East and I spray the undercarriage with Fluid Film yearly and any rust is minimal. It's best to be proactive than reactive. Thank you for all your videos and helping people out over the years.
I support your Channel because I am an old mechanic that can't do mechanics anymore. Due to my body is giving up. But the knowledge that I have and the knowledge that you teach I support 100%
Scotty, your automotive/mechanical knowledge reminds me a lot of my father who himself was an "old-school" mechanic. Sadly, he passed a few years ago. Like you, he always used to say that Toyotas and Hondas were the best made vehicles. I thought it was funny how you talked about turning up the radio to drown out the noise. When my father's customers would complain about some noise but were unwilling to spend the money to fix it, my father would tell them the cheapest fix was to buy a new stereo so that they could play loud music.
I take my 2018 Hemi 392 Challenger on long Sunday drives, the sound and feel of that thumper under the hood puts a big grin on my face and it's comfortable too. That's what I bought it for. My daily driver is a 300hp v6 2013 Impala, love it too. Wife drive 2013 Sonata, works as advertised. My 97 Ram Laramie that I've owned for 21 years still works fine too, of course I take care of my stuff.
Sorry you bought 2 headaches, if your impala has a 3.6l . Good luck. I wrench fora living. Horrible engine, and the Chrysler hemi… good luck with that engine as well. Bad rockers that destroy the cam !!
I’m late but I’m sure someone will see this. I just sold my 2007 dodge magnum RT with 194k miles. Never had any issues, regular maintenance, and I always babied it. I’m sure it lasted so long because I never raced it or put the petal to the floor. I’ve been looking for something to replace it, and I’ve come to the conclusion that most vehicles will last as long as you take care of them.
Had a charger RT...no issues. Bought a 2019 Ram Hemi...no issues. I will say the clear coat they used on the charger is not the best quality though....was easy to have crap get burned into it if I didn't wash/wax right away.
It’s ok bro. People don’t realize that these cars are really not as unreliable as they perceive them to be. Look on the bright side, since less people are buying them because they think that, there’s less on the road, which means we’re more exclusive!
@Green Soup well if you learn how to take care of a vehicle...you won't have any issues. Besides...Toyotas have had their share of problems too. But I also like Toyota so your argument isn't valid.
You probably took care of it by maintaining it well! My 2012 Dodge Grand Caravan also had 227000kms and very minor problems, like brakes, wheel bearing, and transmission cooler lines and starter. I maintained it well but drove it hard because it was an Uber delivery vehicle. Maintaining a vehicle very well is the owner's responsibility and I don't care what make it is. If you don't maintain it well, it will continuously give you problems. Scotty Kilmer more of an entertainer, than he is a mechanic.
Scotty you didn’t even talk about dodge for 3 quarters of the video and what you said strictly applied to a rarer dodge and it was built to be a extremely fast street car from factory and they accomplished that
I'm 48 and not a mechanic but really enjoy learning. If you could buy any 1 or 2 brands of 2-seater convertable --- what model is easy to work on and has an abundance of aftermarket parts. I could see myself working on it for a a year or 2 and finally geting it painted up and what a joy that would be.
About that last car question.....if you just gotta have a BMW, buy it NEW. Then sell it before the warranty runs out! Used Beemers are a WONDERLAND of expensive problems once they get some miles and abuse on them. When new, depending on the model, they can be great, fun cars. Sadly, they don't make them like they used to!!! Listen to Uncle Scotty!!!!!!! PS Don't buy ANY vehicle that's turbo-charged! THERE'S NO REPLACEMENT FOR DISPLACEMENT.
As a Challenger owner (2019 SXT AWD) I love the car. I’ve noticed that most people that bash them, don’t own one. Meanwhile all us Challenger owners are having a blast. Also, the details about the Demon and horsepower were well known, that it required racing fuel and tuning for that. Dodge never advertised otherwise.
It’s ok bro. People don’t realize that these cars are really not as unreliable as they perceive them to be. Look on the bright side, since less people are buying them because they think that, there’s less on the road, which means we’re more exclusive!
My 99 blazer had some kind of wiring problem and I determined it wasn’t sending power to the starter solenoid. It only did it at random and after driving it through a puddle of water, after a heavy rainfall. I used to just carry a long handled screwdriver, turn the wheels to the left, and jump the starter solenoid.
ive had a fiat 500 sport as my first car, i always kept up on the oil changes, that boi was durable for it ssize ill give it that, but had electrical issues up the wazoo, my third car was a Chrysler 200 2015, bought used had it for 6 months already was having transmission problems, luckly enough it totaled before it became an endless money pit , currently putting my money on a 2013 honda civic as per ol scotty
Sounds to me like you just bought all lemons. The guys that sold you the cars probably knew they were all lemons. Doesn't mean they're bad cars just means whoever had it before you destroy them and sold them to you as a lemon. Be careful when buying a used car.
@@lifestyle5795 maybe , i wont argue that they could of been. i personally am not car savy so maybe the dealers pulled fast one on me twice. all i know is the fiat and the 200 have been the only cars to have given me trouble. not to say they werent stylish and nice when i could drive em. we will see with my civic if im just a lemon magnet lol
Come on Scotty. I usually agree with you. But you need to do your research before you start talking and flaring your arms. FCA clearly stated to get the full 840 horsepower. The demon needs ECU tune and 100 octane.
Looks like my RT was the better car after all I've only had to buy brakes and oil changes crossing my fingers but it's just a toy in the end of the i wouldn't spend the money on a hellcat
Who else will sell you a factory 10 second drag set up with a warranty?Nobody else does. Always outside the box and pushing the envelope. My hemi powered 300C has been very reliable too. Love that 5.7.
@@SkitsByChris ahh yes but the reliability tho is still questionable the dude who had my RT originally went out and got a scat straight from the factory a month later his lifters went out and he had metal shavings inside his cylinders (i might be off on where exactly those shavings were but still thats very unsettling)... I do hope your having one he'll of a time with the scat and best of luck in the long run to you dude I really mean it 😀 👍
@@miketess4272 this.. this is true.. but how many of these guys are actually using it for what it was designed for, having said that tho you do have a very valid point if you were to use it for its actual drag purposes then your not actually spending near as much as other racers
6.2L HemiPower when does he not. He is so biased. He takes an inch given and stretches it a mile. Not to mention all the people that worship him and know nothing about cars but now hate chrysler.
Bought a BRAND NEW 2020 Ram 2500 Limited from the on 9-30-2020 and I have had 2 problems with the truck. 1st of the tire was bloated manager did not want to replace the tire as I repeat ITS A BRAND NEW TRUCK ONLY 15 MILES ON IT. So it should not have those details. 2nd of all the truck had horrible scratch marks on the back windshield on the top. They fixed the tire but not the windshield part. It was my fault for trusting them. Would I buy from the again?? No I DO NOT RECOMMEND THEM. You were right Scotty
The same 2008 Challenger design still out sells the Camaro. Not by a lot, but Camaro has struggled to compete with Mustang. I'd like to see a smaller/lighter version of the Challenger. Until you get in a Challenger they look small but its got a large back seat. The '70 Challenger had small trunk, the current model is a better family car. I'd like a rear drive car the size of a BMW E30, but I'm sure most folks want larger cars or SUVs.
I like tge look a lot out of the dodges, but see, what just looks, can get you. If all cars are made around the same budget that means that who ever spent most money on looks spent less on the other important parts.
I recently bought a Titanium pearl 2002 Subaru Legacy Grand Touring Edition. I love the car however I get the distinctive feeling that Scotty wants me to trade it in for a 1994 celica
They need to make 45 from Dallas to Houston 100 MPH cause that's how fast people drive anyways on that hwy. Timing chain is notorious for breaking on Mercedes. My sister's 2015 S500 had the timing chain go bad, yes a 2015. $3k later it's fixed. When it breaks it also causes a coolant leak so overheating the engine too.
I live in Australia and saw a dealership of Fiat Chrysler Jeep Dodge Peugeot It had all those 5 names on the big old sign out the front and I felt like I may as well have been driving past a junkyard 😂😂
I never had a Dodge/Plymouth that was trouble free. Having said that I liked the torsion bar setup on the 70ish RoadRunners better than my 68 Camaro. Of course the Camaro went through many parts as I broke them with pure HP. Now I have a made in Japan car. Trouble free.
Scotty, I’m looking into used Dodge Charger GT/RT what year would you recommend? I heard that American cars are horrible but I’m fascinated by their design and power. Used Durango GT is also in my interested as well
Scotty, fellow Houstonian, and long time UA-cam follower. I just want to say, you inspire me to put my nose to the "books" and really study every time I watch one of your videos. Please don't quit what you're doing because the community really appreciates all that you do! PS - did you know Johnny "P's" by any chance?
Astrxcat XIII man personally I believe if you take care of your car and don’t drive it hard it’ll last but if you neglect it and drive it like a maniac of course you’ll have problems And also depends on how many miles your putting on the car
I'm going to buy a new 2021 tundra sr but I need to know which bed length to get. 6.5 or 8.1 foot. The only thing large I'm ever gonna put in the back is an atv (most likely sport, not utility). Any thoughts?
@@michaelchristopher8266 Because they put insane big tyres, put over 1000-1100 hp in stock trans and diff and make 100 launchs... What you expect? If you want a 800 hp car with high interior quality 4 SEATS... eehhh a Brabus probably?
Hey Scotty!! Andrew from the UAE, I have learnt more about cars from you than any other auto youtuber. Great job!!! stay with us a little longer. Keep those laughs coming🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@azrailroader you don't need to be a mechanic to own a dodge just do the maintenance and any car will last long my girls dakota hasn't had I thing go wrong with it shes had it for over 2 years now
The problem isn't Chrysler. The problem is Fiat. There's a reason why it's called Fix It Again Tony. It could have been worse, they could have stayed with Cerberus. And been a Russian mob on company instead of an Italian mob owned company. But they still sold it to this Italian company that still uses technology from the 30s all the way up into the 1970s and later.
After buying a 2016 Dodge Journey R/T I was a happy dude. The ride quality was good and it was comfortable with plenty of power. I did everything I could to defend the company and say that they’re not as bad as Scotty says they are. That is until I spent over 1200 dollars on repairs that kept popping up. All the repairs were done within 5000 miles. That’s one oil change! The car had 50k miles on it. Total lemons. Got rid of that POS and got a Ford Fusion hybrid brand new. My friend calls me a day later saying he got himself a Dodge Journey R/T. It’s been about a month now and he has spent 10.000 bucks in repairs. That’s more than what the whole car is worth! He still has a long way to go. Dodge being garbage is not a myth. I’ll never buy a dodge again!

Maintaining a vehicle very well is the owner's responsibility and I don't care what make it is. If you don't maintain it well, it will continuously give you problems.
Scotty Kilmer more of an entertainer, than he is a mechanic.
Scotty love that frog 😂 2:21
lexus look at this dude
Scotty you didn’t even talk about dodge for 3 quarters of the video and what you said strictly applied to a rarer dodge and it was built to be a extremely fast street car from factory and they accomplished that
"...and this is a giant 'but'."
Anyone else see this massive missed opportunity for an image with a big butt?
He did that a few times
"Scotty I bought a used BMW and-"
Scotty: "Am I a joke to you?"
😂
Look Scott my man dodge is not about the reliability or luxury its all about power i meen where would you get a 707 HP for under 100000$
The junkyard for $300
Can build a Honda Civic with a stroker motor be cheaper more reliable
Andrew Dalvet how? Not even a junked lambo goes for 300$
@@gregpavitt309 Hahahaha more reliable a massive single turbo car this is hilarious
I'm 48 and not a mechanic but really enjoy learning. If you could buy any 1 or 2 brands of 2-seater convertable --- what model is easy to work on and has an abundance of aftermarket parts. I could see myself working on it for a a year or 2 and finally geting it painted up and what a joy that would be.
You are one of my favorite youtubers I live your enthusiasm for your craft.
About that last car question.....if you just gotta have a BMW, buy it NEW. Then sell it before the warranty runs out! Used Beemers are a WONDERLAND of expensive problems once they get some miles and abuse on them. When new, depending on the model, they can be great, fun cars. Sadly, they don't make them like they used to!!! Listen to Uncle Scotty!!!!!!! PS Don't buy ANY vehicle that's turbo-charged! THERE'S NO REPLACEMENT FOR DISPLACEMENT.
As a Challenger owner (2019 SXT AWD) I love the car. I’ve noticed that most people that bash them, don’t own one. Meanwhile all us Challenger owners are having a blast.
Also, the details about the Demon and horsepower were well known, that it required racing fuel and tuning for that. Dodge never advertised otherwise.
It’s ok bro. People don’t realize that these cars are really not as unreliable as they perceive them to be. Look on the bright side, since less people are buying them because they think that, there’s less on the road, which means we’re more exclusive!
People only rag on them if it’s not a 392 or cat, even the rt gets disrespected 😭
My 99 blazer had some kind of wiring problem and I determined it wasn’t sending power to the starter solenoid. It only did it at random and after driving it through a puddle of water, after a heavy rainfall. I used to just carry a long handled screwdriver, turn the wheels to the left, and jump the starter solenoid.
Here we go Scotty. Always talking about Chrysler. We love them. they are great cars and very reliable no matter what anyone says.
Nope
ive had a fiat 500 sport as my first car, i always kept up on the oil changes, that boi was durable for it ssize ill give it that, but had electrical issues up the wazoo, my third car was a Chrysler 200 2015, bought used had it for 6 months already was having transmission problems, luckly enough it totaled before it became an endless money pit , currently putting my money on a 2013 honda civic as per ol scotty
Sounds to me like you just bought all lemons. The guys that sold you the cars probably knew they were all lemons. Doesn't mean they're bad cars just means whoever had it before you destroy them and sold them to you as a lemon. Be careful when buying a used car.
@@lifestyle5795 maybe , i wont argue that they could of been. i personally am not car savy so maybe the dealers pulled fast one on me twice. all i know is the fiat and the 200 have been the only cars to have given me trouble. not to say they werent stylish and nice when i could drive em. we will see with my civic if im just a lemon magnet lol
NHTSAdministration, not NHTSAssociation. Just a friendly FYI.
Your videos teach me a lot. Thanks, and keep up the good work.

Come on Scotty. I usually agree with you. But you need to do your research before you start talking and flaring your arms. FCA clearly stated to get the full 840 horsepower. The demon needs ECU tune and 100 octane.
Dodge logic is “if we fix it, we may get them again to fix it for a price”
I can never find the dang intermittent module. They always say it's an intermittent problem but they never fix it. 😉

Looks like my RT was the better car after all I've only had to buy brakes and oil changes crossing my fingers but it's just a toy in the end of the i wouldn't spend the money on a hellcat
The ScatPack is the best option. It plays the middle in my opinion. U get good power but not too costly.
Who else will sell you a factory 10 second drag set up with a warranty?Nobody else does. Always outside the box and pushing the envelope. My hemi powered 300C has been very reliable too. Love that 5.7.
@@SkitsByChris ahh yes but the reliability tho is still questionable the dude who had my RT originally went out and got a scat straight from the factory a month later his lifters went out and he had metal shavings inside his cylinders (i might be off on where exactly those shavings were but still thats very unsettling)... I do hope your having one he'll of a time with the scat and best of luck in the long run to you dude I really mean it 😀 👍
@@miketess4272 this.. this is true.. but how many of these guys are actually using it for what it was designed for, having said that tho you do have a very valid point if you were to use it for its actual drag purposes then your not actually spending near as much as other racers
Try to tell my bros, if you a regular car owner 392 and under will do. Alot of muscle cars need a personal mechanic.
Love to watch your videos you are the John lennon of Mechanics

6.2L HemiPower when does he not. He is so biased. He takes an inch given and stretches it a mile. Not to mention all the people that worship him and know nothing about cars but now hate chrysler.
Bought a BRAND NEW 2020 Ram 2500 Limited from the on 9-30-2020 and I have had 2 problems with the truck. 1st of the tire was bloated manager did not want to replace the tire as I repeat ITS A BRAND NEW TRUCK ONLY 15 MILES ON IT. So it should not have those details. 2nd of all the truck had horrible scratch marks on the back windshield on the top. They fixed the tire but not the windshield part. It was my fault for trusting them. Would I buy from the again?? No I DO NOT RECOMMEND THEM. You were right Scotty
That sounds like a poor dealer and poor transportation
The Challenger still looks the best out of all the cars in production right now.
The same 2008 Challenger design still out sells the Camaro. Not by a lot, but Camaro has struggled to compete with Mustang. I'd like to see a smaller/lighter version of the Challenger. Until you get in a Challenger they look small but its got a large back seat. The '70 Challenger had small trunk, the current model is a better family car. I'd like a rear drive car the size of a BMW E30, but I'm sure most folks want larger cars or SUVs.
I like tge look a lot out of the dodges, but see, what just looks, can get you. If all cars are made around the same budget that means that who ever spent most money on looks spent less on the other important parts.
Ha! That's a matter of opinion.
In march here in california, highway patrol wouldnt pull anyone over unless they were doing over 100mph.
I hope you understand how many people you have helped who never had parents to teach them simple car knowledge. Thank you

Timing chain is notorious for breaking on Mercedes. My sister's 2015 S500 had the timing chain go bad, yes a 2015. $3k later it's fixed. When it breaks it also causes a coolant leak so overheating the engine too.

My neighbor has a 5 year old Charger and he has paint chips all over the car but mostly the front bumper.
I never had a Dodge/Plymouth that was trouble free. Having said that I liked the torsion bar setup on the 70ish RoadRunners better than my 68 Camaro. Of course the Camaro went through many parts as I broke them with pure HP. Now I have a made in Japan car. Trouble free.

Jeremey clarkson says its not the speed that kills. Its the sudden stop that does.
Scotty, I’m looking into used Dodge Charger GT/RT what year would you recommend? I heard that American cars are horrible but I’m fascinated by their design and power. Used Durango GT is also in my interested as well
The Durango GT is probably my favorite it’s a great road trip car and has tons of room also handles really nice
I’m in Miami Beach and I have a 1998 Ford ranger Stick shift with 23000 Thousand miles on it and it still runs like a clock
Ask Scotty how much a German car or a car from Japan with anywhere near that HP cost.

The problem isn't Chrysler. The problem is Fiat. There's a reason why it's called Fix It Again Tony. It could have been worse, they could have stayed with Cerberus. And been a Russian mob on company instead of an Italian mob owned company. But they still sold it to this Italian company that still uses technology from the 30s all the way up into the 1970s and later.
People are driving like idiots these days.
Bought a 97 ranger 4.0 regular cab and had 99,000 in 2002. 398,000 and ran strong when i got rid of it... Dailey driver and weekend 4wheeler...
After buying a 2016 Dodge Journey R/T I was a happy dude. The ride quality was good and it was comfortable with plenty of power. I did everything I could to defend the company and say that they’re not as bad as Scotty says they are. That is until I spent over 1200 dollars on repairs that kept popping up. All the repairs were done within 5000 miles. That’s one oil change! The car had 50k miles on it. Total lemons. Got rid of that POS and got a Ford Fusion hybrid brand new. My friend calls me a day later saying he got himself a Dodge Journey R/T. It’s been about a month now and he has spent 10.000 bucks in repairs. That’s more than what the whole car is worth! He still has a long way to go. Dodge being garbage is not a myth. I’ll never buy a dodge again!
I hope Fiat Chrysler stays in business forever. I laugh at the way Scotty laughs when he picks on them. It's priceless.
