GMC use to make good cars, but got greedy and started adding nothing and raising prices to unreal levels.
That’s what Americans like though
GM and Ford have labor cost issues throughout. They cannot make money on cheap cars. They have to sell high priced models to survive . It’s a harbinger of things to come
Gotta Mechanic Coming
Giant Mess of Crap. Ntm if you wanna work on a gm yourself it's a engineer nightmare
UAW. They want to make $200,000 a year. Car prices have skyrocketed. Duh.
I don’t need a turbo, start/stop, lane departure, electronic hand brake. You know what I mean?
It you can have the discipline to not put your foot into an accelerator, a turbo can provide better fuel economy while then providing power on demand if needed like not seeing a car when you've already committed to a turn. Not many people have that discipline, though.
@@brianwesley28 👍Scotty says that the fuel you save will go to repair the turbocharger.
@@brianwesley28 what is the point of having a turbo if you do not use it ,naturally asperated engines last longer.
Got rid of points and carbs. Lost me
@@johntapley8527 👍You comparing performance improvement with stupid over safety that only gets in the way.
Farewell, trusted friend and wise mechanic. You will be sorely missed. We will always cherish the wisdom you have shared all these years.

Scotty, you remind me of a uncle that nobody respected except me
You’re always on the point
Find me an old Rambler and I would be happy!!
Those electric charging stations should have a pull out hose that pulls back into the machine when you're done so you can't access the hose unless you scan your card. They will come up with that soon I'm sure. I bet you some people are just sabotaging them because they don't like electric cars.
Those that cut the holes and keep the hose, are probably selling them.
Times are very tough for a many. 😢
In poor neighborhood you can get car jack while charging EV. I had 3 station of charging stations but no one can effort EV so it is abondond and waiting to be stolen or vanderlized since it is insulting low in come people.
But nobody cares what people do to EV stations.
American automakers are still operating under the delusion that they will make money as a subscription service for navigation, entertainment, and self-driving technologies. Maybe that would work if you're selling cars for $20,000. But for $60,000+, people have spent enough money without obligating themselves to infinity (the time period not the car). At its most basic, people buy a car because they need to get from A to B reliably and cheaply, not live out their existence in an exotic dream world. Apparently, the only ones inhabiting a dream world are car company executives.
GREAT video, Scotty! Thanks a million!
Radio Shacks are not all gone here in San Luis Obispo. We have two of them.

I got to agree
😂😂
Scotty. What's this "Bye" stuff? We all love you man, from Colorado to California. Don't go anywhere.
I doubt many are charging their electric cars in Houston the past few days. About 450K customers in TX are without power, mostly in Houston area. there were over a miliona few days ago.
No power no gas either
@@arghsonofcliff You can have a can or two of gas in the tool shed (with stabilizer), like I do for hurricane season. Good luck with having a "can" of electricity big enough to move your EV.
@@arghsonofcliff If you have much gas in your tank, you can drive outside the area, assuming roads are open.
It's terrible what happened in Houston Thursday. As a N. Texan, my prayers to all dealing with this. They said it could take weeks to get power.

I was watching news out of the UK the powers that be put up camera's in these 15 minute city's and people were cutting them down lots of copper in them lmao
No one goes to car shows in the US anymore because no American one can afford a $100K US-made pickup truck, so why bother looking.
I've a seen vlogger, this American guy in Shanghai said the roads was eerily devoid of engine noise because there are so many EV on their roads. Same with another European couple who said the same in another city. This is why their air pollution have been drastically reduced
I was an American car fans in the 90s; however, all America cars turn into unreliable trash now. It is such a painful & expensive life to live in America to have an unreliable car. After a couple terrible Ford & GM cars, I am now a loyal Honda & Toyota only car shopper.
UAW has ruined everything.
You nailed it Scotty!
I bought my son a 1999 Camry V6 325,000klms and still runs like a swiss watch.
Hate all the missing dipsticks too. Just today I had my transmission fluid changed on my 2014 Toyota Avalon XLE. I would have tried to do it myself but honestly I’m afraid to mess up. So I had an appointment with the dealer at 7:00am this morning. $485
Had all fluids changed at 60,000 miles and now at 100,000 I felt it was due for transmission fluid change. I still do oil changes myself every 5,000 miles or 6 months. I’ll be flushing the radiator fluid soon, too. $485. $250 for labor, $27 in taxes $26 in shop/environmental fees and the rest was the actual trans fluid.$182. Must be some golden fluid. Oh well. While I was there I looked at some new cars. Crown was $56,000 Tundra $72,000. I guess the $485 was cheap comparatively!
Hi Scotty thanks for helping with car problems your the best😄
Here’s a idea design the charging station where the charger is locked inside and you have to pay to unlock it so it is not out in the open
Great show 👍
Mercedes is full of electrical gremlins, you couldn't give me a Mercedes
Probably fed it after midnight
oh no, isn't mercedshit what angels drive in heaven?
The good man I have a little 250 with turbo charger 🔌 she lift off like a trooper no joke man swift
back then we have public phone booths...same issues thefts n vandalism.
when will they ever learn
I drive a 2002 Buick Park Avenue with a 3.8 engine and over 217,000 miles on it, and it still runs great. No EVs for me!
As if I want to be a sitting duck for a carjacking/robbery as I wait for a charge...
Great video
*I like watching your videos scotty.* 👏👍
I knew copper would be stolen from all these Tesla chargers.
Scotty is simply great entertainment!
I can always rely on Scotty for a dose of common sense.
Love Scotty ❤
I have a 2008 Chrysler T & C LTD with V6 that I bought in 2011 with 50K miles on it. It now has 150K and never had a major problem. Also have a 2007 Toyota Solara V6 Convertible that I bought with 9K miles in 2010. It now has 140K miles and never had a major problem, except the piece of crap dash that's cracked to pieces. I never got the notification from my dealer that they got the dash to replace mine. By the time I decided to try to get it replaced, I was one month too late. I do most of my own maintenance, except the timing belts on both cars at the correct intervals. I have used only full synthetic oil in both of them since I got them. Neither one has ever been wrecked, and I did Oil changes at 7,000 miles or less, with only top of the line oil filters. Neither car uses oil or makes any odd noises in the motor. Both are in very good condition, and I expect to keep them both for at least another 50k miles each, or 5 years. I don't want anything newer than 2010.
Scotty I bought a Duralast new starter motor for my bronco 2
and if I get somewhere I turn off the car and try to start it again the car doesn't start
I had to go to a junkyard to buy a used starter motor and it worked great.
Are companies deliberately choosing to sell garbage?
Take the one you bought for a replacement. Ask them to test it. Ive gone through 3 starters before I got one that works.
425,000 miles on my 2012 Tundra, and going strong
There is a simple solution to the cable stealing problem - just have sockets on the charging stations instead of cables and make customers bring their own cables! Another solution would be a retractable cable that would be released after a payment is made by a credit card or an app. But instead of retractable cables that would make sense, Tesla makes useless and stupid retractable door handles that often break!
One particular Tesla model has retractable door handles. not all of them. The socket you mention is used widely here in Europe but only for A/C charging. a D/C supercharger cable is way too big and heavy to carry around. As for vandalism, protestors in Germany recently committed arson, setting light to a local power substation in an effort to prevent Tesla production. People don't like change.
Mr. Mercedes with power issues check for rodent damage before buying a new ignition switch. If a rodent eats through certain wires it can cause a lot of electrical issues. Look for droppings or nesting materials. Don’t overlook the wiring inside the car under the dash.
New to the channel
Love Scotty
Good American man

Them getting $500 per picture 😂😂😂 you think they will take them down.😅
On the GM 3.8 V6 series 2 engines were the intake manifold gasket failed, the thermostat was changed from 195 ° to 180 °. I also changed the radiator Cap from 17 pounds down to 7 pounds. New gaskets were replaced. Being I live in the Pacific Northwest, I'm looking at changing the thermostat to 160 degrees because it seldom gets below 32 degrees. Please advise.
The charging stations are out in the middle of nowhere so they don't burn the city down when the batteries go Hiroshima.
Damn man. Scotty is going no where😂
Older S-Class Mercedes-Benzes have a module for sensing whether or not the light bulb in the trunk is burned out. And, it doesn't set the check engine light, but when you connect the scan tool to it more likely than not, it's going to tell you that the module has gone bad before it tells you that the light bulb is burned out! And connecting a scan tool that reads everything properly, is going to show all sorts of faults that have nothing to do with the engine controls and emissions controls...
While watching a car auction of classic dars on TV today I wondered, 50 years from now will then be selling classic electric cars from 2024? Somehow I doubt it. Who could work on them?
That's like saying in the 80's "Who's going to buy a personal computer? Who could work on them?" Mechanics will update their skills as more Electric Cars are introduced. I'm in IT and I need to update my skills at least annually to keep up.
The vast majority needs to vote together in the polls so that we can stick it to these corrupt individuals who think they can force us to do something we don't want and shellac the corruption so we can go back to being number one in the world.
Lol vote, that's a good one
Competition is good for the consumer, let the Chinese flood the market, this will only make US automakers make cars better quality at competitive prices, they don't want that, they want to continue selling crap that maybe survives 100K miles without mechanical problems and charge you 50K for it. Id BYD sells a truck that has the same life span but at 1/2 the cost, you know something is going to change.
@@Willy-hs7uu sounds like propaganda
@Willy-hs7uu Competition is healthy, improves products and keeps manufacturers competitive and prices down. Whenever you see corporations and industry seeking regulations, that is a warning sign.
> we can stick it to these corrupt individuals who think they can force us to do something we don't want
In regards to what? There are a great deal of people that don't want to pay taxes, but taxes are necessary to run a country (look at every failed Libertarian Venture in some third-world country to see what "no taxes" looks like).
The thing is the majority of American would eagerly buy a reliable affordable car that says “Made in the USA”. But they don’t exist. I blame the disconnect between Shareholders, Management, and Unions. The shareholders just want to maximize their dividend payouts, management just cares about the numbers on their screens, and the Unions just care about keeping everything running even if it’s pumping out garbage.
It's the UAW. Unions think they can have $200,000 a year, and car prices won't go up.
If you need a throttle body for a r129 SL you can't get one you have to buy a second-hand if you could get one it would be around 5000 dollars in the UK they wanted over 2000 plus Vat
i went to buy a chevy spark 2014 check it out, 65k miles with a recalled transmission replacement. it checked out good for 6k. the day I went to pick it up, the dealer calls, the new transmission is doing something now. I hung up the phone. not trusting any chevy today.
Lmao love uncle Scottie's daily rants
Ok scotty see you at dunkins tomorrow
Yeah must be some copper in those cables.
There is copper. $5 a pound now.
The one with the Mercedes can also have a look at the small battery in the front… That make a lot of different problems if it’s worn out…
Where does the cobalt come from?
Are you comfortable with that?
Two uncomfortable questions.
I worked at Plymouth Motor Division and always bought American cars. I got tired of all the problems, maintenance and breakdowns. That's to a divorce i needed something dependable, reliable and economical. I decided on a Honda Civic. I had it 14 years now and still running. The air conditioner still works. I wouldn't think of electric vehicles. Look at all the storms knocking out power. I asked a rep from DTE about costs of electric going up. There's people can't afford their bills now. All electric is dumb. I can see hybrid.
This channel is becoming as reliable as Chrysler.
People who stole catalytic are the one stealing the wire for sure.. should be convict under the same law..
I've been a Ford guy my whole life but will never buy a new Ford because their management has ruined them over the last few decades & I will only buy pre 90's tops! Probably 79 or older really. 🤔 (Bought my kid a Toyota for his first car)
I have full big 4wheel drive. Pick-up , v8asde in the USA 230000 plus miles runs great O yards its a 19 year old Tundra.
Same with my 08 RAM.
Detroit Rocker here. Auto- Rama in Detroit was packed! Woodward Cruise attracts millions.. You need to get out dude.
There is a mobile car mechanic company here in the UK who use a fleet of Chinese built MG5 EVs - they sell them on when they have reached 200k miles. The don't do anything to them, no servicing, no maintenance costs and cheap overnight electricity to run them. Ironic that they use thes EVs practically for free to charge ICE owners to service and maintain their cars.
Your FIRST MISTAKE... You bought a Mercedes...
Your SECOND MISTAKE... You bought a Mercedes...

Studied electronics in mid 70's taught by likeable 65-year-old teacher. It is safe to say he is no longer with us. All the references here about microprocessors, capacitors, resistors and Radio Shack would surely amuse him on our progression/ regression.
I don't want an EV no matter where it's built or what the price is. The one thing that I think is turning people off to cars is their increasing complexity and unreliability. The auto industry along with the government are slowly killing the business. I really don't see things getting better any time soon.
More things to go wrong with the vehicles. Car manufacturers love it.
Government controlled by WEF doesn't want individuals to own vehicles.
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that the more complex any system is, the more can go wrong with it. Look at refrigerators, we had one in a cottage years back that was 30 years old. When we sold the cottage we left it there, I wonder if it's still working. My neighbor had two go bad in the past five years. They make junk nowadays. Yeah, expensive junk. They give you a one year warranty on many things, that tells you they don't trust the thing to last more than a year.😂
@@genek8630 The biggest problems with old refrigerators were the fans and defroster rods breaking. Neither was expensive to replace. Now I hear they are gluing joints in refrigerant lines instead of soldering. Plus circuit boards to go bad.
@Benzley722 It really isn't. Maybe safety standards, but it is almost completely because of Corporate greed and lobbying. They want to convince you that you want to buy a full sized SUV and truck because THEY want you to buy them because they make the most money off of them. SUVs and Trucks are anywhere from 2 - 4 times the price of an entry sedan. It is COMPLETELY about money.
Thoughts and prayers
Chinese building more electric cars. China has 3000+ coal plants an building more.😅
Not a problem at all, if they are using new coal plants. Very low emissions.
@@ricky4673 Really, you don't see the irony of that. Complete stupidity.
@@ricky4673
Seems like there are more than in the US. There are 511 coal power plants in the US.
@@huas5350 Sorry, there are only 217 operating coal plants in the USA. 3000+ is a bigger number than 217.
Have the charger cord provided with the EV.?
Copper is almost $5/lb. Highest I can remember. I don't know what scrap dealers pay for this stuff; but if you have any, hide it. If things get worse, more people will be stealing to survive.
Well I guess we'll have to stop saying, "I wouldn't do or give up something for all the tea in China!" The new phrase might be, "I wouldn't do or give up something for the EVs in China!"
No electric for me.

God willing we will see u tomorrow
Where are they getting the electricity to charge them all?

Cadillac always had lots of electronic gadgets.
Love Scotty's personality. Love to always check in
And they steal the hoses at gas stations used to inflate tires....what a great world.
I will never buy electric, especially Chinese made electric.
You are a wise man! But many people who are EV believers will. May God save their souls.
I bought a black chinese scooter back in 2007 and it lasted me until this year. Someone stole it while I was gone from home. I sure miss the chinese scooter.

@@throttlebottle5906Too much facts for the ignorant and their truth
Nobody want's them. With the mileage they say EV's get, I could drive to work and home for two day's, then it would take 3 days to charge it on an at home 220AMP plug in, and that's in the summer. Winter? forget it.
You'll lose around 3 to 5% of battery capacity per year, no matter what. So, if the original range was 200 miles, you're down to 120 miles after 10 years. Then, if you live in an area where it gets to below zero every year, battery capacity is further reduced by around 50%, which brings the range down to 60 miles. Then, if you're stuck in a 2 hour traffic jam in rush hour during an evening snow storm, your lights, defrost, cabin heat, wipers, denser cold air and snow further reduce range by 50%. Then, you're down to 30 miles range and praying to God you can make it home without freezing to death.
Dont worry, they already thought about that with the bonfire mode
Nice! So true though. Why on Earth would someone buy a car that cannot be fixed?
That is some bro science and bro math if I've ever seen one.

Scotty makes an excellent point with respect to cars. Americans decided to get out of the car business because honda and toyota have made better products for years. This shows American car companies cant look past next quarters earnings, and by proxy don't care a hoot about the American public or their workers.
I wonder what Henry Ford would be thinking right now
The ONLY electric items that's good is tools when in a remote area
I took a copper vent pipe to the recycler and got $85 dollars for it. Those wires have to be worth more than that. Okay, it was when copper prices were much higher, but they're still high. Not good.
