rev up your engines, tidus wig says what should I do about a noisy catalytic
converter should I buy a new one to replace it, I Drive a 97 Dodge Intrepid
ok let's say it passes the emissions testing, you don't have any check engine lights
on, you can live with it, it won't hurt anything,
but eventually if they break down inside the substrata is a ceramic material and
it's got platinum in them there's little holes if you look through one end
to another with a flashlight you can see all the tiny little holes inside that
the hot air goes through, if it finally breaks off into little pieces, then it
will jam into the back of the cat and it'll clog up the exhaust and then you
won't have any exhaust coming out the tailpipe or very little and the engine
will start to overheat won't go fast, then you have to replace it, so if it
runs okay you can actually live with it, but if the check engine lights coming on and
you have running problems, then you got to replace it, my advice for that car is
price around because a lot of the aftermarket ones are cheap and that
will work perfectly fine, a lot of the new ones you gotta buy a dealer OEM one
because the software is really touchy but, on an older one like that often you
can buy an aftermarket one save a ton of money,
Roman Medina says what company makes the best pickup trucks, depends on what size
truck you want, if you want a smaller pickup truck, I would say get a Toyota
Tacoma they're really well made and they can last a really long time, but if you want
a full-size you can't beat the f-150 fords, they've been making them for ages
you can get v8's, you can get a turbocharged v6 that puts out 300
something horsepower and now you can even get diesel engines in them recently
they started putting diesel engines in them, so you can get a lot of choice with
the Ford f-150 if you want a full-size truck that's pulling around a lot of
stuff, especially if your towing things, Martin sue says Scotty I'm not sure
about buying my neighbors 94 honda accord with 175
thousand miles, it has battery drain, two windows don't work, the radio doesn't
work, and the brake light is not working should I still take it for 700 bucks, it
starts up and it runs and it shifts fine go right ahead, those things can run for
ever, I got customers with those with 350 thousand miles on them
and that's got 175, it's got half of that 700 is nothing for that, all that other
stuff you can fix, the windows who cares you can live without them, as long as
it's got a heater and an air conditioner and battery drain, yeah you can try to
trace it down I've got videos to show how to fix battery drain on your car,
or you can just disconnect the battery when you shut it off overnight, I've had
customers do that for years shoe shine boy says I went to Jiffy Lube,
they wanted to run oil flush before they
changed my oil are they trying to scam me, yes you should never flush the oil in
your car, it can actually damage an engine, the only time you'd want to flush it is
let's say you bought an old junker car from somebody and it's all full of
sludge, then you can put the flush in, run it 15 minutes or so like the
directions on the can say, then change the oil and filter, normally the oil is
all detergent these days, change it regularly you never need to flush it
they're just trying to sell you stuff and I've seen it actually damaged things in
the long run by putting harsh chemical flushes in that can make seals and
stuff start leaking, Hans Krupp says my 2008 Grand Prix started slipping out a
second, I added some x75 or something like that slip stop, dropped the pan new
filter, it ran 2 months now it revs to 5,000 out of first, should I rebuild or get a
remanufactured tranny, ok if you want to keep the vehicle you're better off
getting a factory reman transmission, they come with a guarantee usually in a
couple years, they're better made and they can last, something like 33 percent
of the transmissions that are rebuilt at transmission shops in the United States
33% of them are done wrong and have to be done over once twice or three times
so if you want to get it done right, have a factory remanufactured one put in,
me with the 2008 Grand Prix it's 11 years old I just get rid of it, I just sell it
for whatever I could rather than put money into it, cuz those things generally
turn into endless money pits when their 11 year old, those are the cars that you
know Pontiac pretty much went out of business after building those, they were
so poorly made and people just stopped buying them entirely, they stopped
making them, matt drop says what's a good product to keep the trunk
compartment dry, I'm getting condensation I'll check the gaskets too, yeah first
thing you want to do is, open it up and then get some good silicone spray, all
hardware stores, auto parts stores sell it, it's
silicone spray in a can, any brand it doesn't matter, spray the heck out of all
the rubber seals, then clean them with a nice microfiber towel and do it again,
because a lot of times they have dirt little pieces and that lets water get in,
so do that first, and then on the other side the trunk itself metal part, clean that
really good with Windex and stuff so all the dirt and crud is off of it, past
that there are many products you can buy any desiccant, most hardware stores sell
bags of the stuff in a little plastic container, you can buy a desiccant and
you can just stick it in there and that will keep it dry and every once awhile
just replace the desiccant bag, I used to do that all the time in the closets
in the house, but my house is so old I gave up and now I just have giant
dehumidifiers that run all the time and it keeps the house nice I got to say, it's
humid in Houston, so if you never want to miss
another one of my new car repair videos, remember to ring that Bell!
