Thank you for these videos. I’m an 18 y o girl trying to get into cars currently😁
@@laurencuccaro Use the doors. 😜
Guys I need help!!! So I came across a 2008 Subaru Impreza 2.5i with 150xxx KM on it for $3.3k CAD with the left front wheel bearing to change. Is it worth it over a 2014-15 Mazda 3 with give or take 100xxxKM for around $9k? Im 20 and looking for this to be my official first car. I live in Montreal so there's a lot of snow and salted roads during the winter time. THANKS IN ADVANCE!!
It must be awkward to watch your car getting fixed and diagnosed and getting advice on youtube.....
OTR drivers sleep in their trucks in rest period per DOT regulations. So no matter the season the truck is idling with either heat or cooling running. Not a big deal.
Just saying they are still using fuel, while parked. Eco-Nancys may change that in the future.
Oh man, I spit out my coffee when the slo-mo coolant got you, I thought that stuff only happened to me
Good to know it's not just me spilling crap.
@@bikecommuter24 mmmmm warm. 🐴
That’s a mood
@@bikecommuter24 I'm about to break into this field. Can't wait.
Thats why I use the petcock and just have patience. Less mess in the end.
Ever since he moved to Tenn, Scotty is working so much faster, sometimes he reminds me of Clark Kent.
Lol
Super scott
The heat and humidity of Houston slowed him down. Now that he isn't sweating like a pig he can work much faster.
@@sd906238 yes I lived in h-town for 3 years and not only the weather is bad visit Pasadena on a weekday morning lol Good ol Rubber smell
He fixed all Houston cars now it is Tenn turn
Scotty Kilmer, the mechanic who encourages common sense.
Yep, too bad common sense isn't so common.
Please vote Kilmer 2024
UNCLE SCOTTY , WELL SO MUCH FOR THE ENVIRONMENT AS THE ANTIFREEZE RUNS ALL OVER THE GROUND , THAT'S MY UNCLE SCOTTY ! LOL
@@crayopopp7171 if he does he run for president he has my vote. Same if he runs again.
When it's a Mercury Grand Marquis, with the build quality those had, even the plastic isn't crap... it's a shield.
Plastic shield is probably better built than 90% of the cars out there today.
yeah that rad was decent looking, suprised it had plastic causing leak
And to be honest with you, I would still ride the Grand marquis over any new domestic cars of today. For a sedan, easy to maintain, reliable and excellent aero dynamic ride!!
we need more honest people like you
These videos bring me right back to the 70s working with my dad! He did this for 53 years. He had me doing my own breaks,oil changes and carb work in my teens.
A nice big car you can actually work on with your hands
If you can find an all-aluminum radiator for a car that never offered one from the factory, get it
Are you kidding? Well this is my experience,I have a 2000 Toyota Tacoma that has had 600,000 miles live in Phoenix ,well it really gets hot here ,being originally from S.Cal.I moved here and so every day 150,000 miles the radiator would need replacement ( before it left me stranded or a blown head gasket) well so for years would want a bigger desert radiator ,so Champion Radiator (U.S made) makes one for my truck but only makes so many a year ,so I waited then purchased one for the future,bought me a 3 row all aluminum (much bigger for the desert than 2 row plastic) well installed this beauty looked like a gem ,within 6 months blew a head gasket because I lost F water it got hot pulled over got it towed ,this thing had multiple leaks around when I poured this liquid that shows wear leaks come from ,threw it away it cost me $200 for the radiator,and I wanted my truck engine to last a million miles
@uhチュンチュンマル just don't get bored of it my uncle had a Toyota picked he had for years and then got bored of it and sold it for 700 bucks
@uhチュンチュンマル nothing was wrong with it was just from the 80's with the 2 wheel drive and had a lot of miles
@@edwardaguilar6322 BUT UNCLE SCOTTY SAID CHINA MADE RADIATORS ARE OKAY , SINCE WE BOTH OWN TOYOTA CAMRYS LOL
Scotty has a good grasp on future technology, for an old school mechanic. Love you, Scotty!
Fun fact: The design of the car cigarette lighter was basically the same from the 1930s to the 1990s if not newer than that. Same two piece metal deal that screws together for the socket, same heat element for the lighter.
I'll use this fun fact at Thanksgiving dinner
Was that Casco ?
Same thing goes for the splined shaft for window crank handles . .....And they still use those , I put an old gmc van door handle on some dude's "modern" truck's seatback last summer . Dorman" didnt make it "so everybody told him uuuh no , and could not be bothered to go outside and look .
I remember where I was the day a bean counter figured out that there were only two hanger bearings being used on ALL the trucks .lol. That one escalated quickly $ lmao.
@@engineerinhickorystripehat Oh, the GM Express and Savanna with the plastic window cranks? Yeah throw that crap away and put an old metal one on. The knob won't stay on the plastic one. I had one out of a '64 Gran Prix on my 02 3500 when I drove it.
Rockin that denim jacket like a BOSS!
Shhh, shhh, secret. That mercury is plain vanilla V8 rear drive with old style body over frame construction. This car is a good used car choice, especially if you enjoy working on it yourself.
Panther platform ftw!
@@iminyourcloset1038 Yes. Lincoln Town Car, Mercury Marquis, Crown Victoria. Whoops, prices just went up on Craiggyslist!
@@NeverTalkToCops1 the freedom 500 didn’t help either😂
I concur. I got a screaming deal on a Grand Marquis last year. The more I drive it the more I love it! Parts are readily available & I came across a parts 🚗 that was abandoned on a rental property I was hired to clean.
I disagree. I had an LTD Crown Victoria and many common maintenance items were much worse to work on than my FWD V6 Chevy Beretta. These cars also drink gas like crazy. I'd never EVER buy one today. If you're getting a V8, it better be a work truck.
My 07 Explorer has a $60 radiator I bought at a local shop near me. 2yrs and a minor car accident later and its still running strong 💪🏽
My radiator on my 2002 S10 just went out this past summer...(lasted 19 years)...I found a ALL ALUMINUM made to fit from JEGS Auto Parts for $200 ..the OEM had plastic side tanks ..I figure this radiator will outlast my truck..
It's a 19 year old S-10. The gas that's in your tank will probably outlast your truck.
I love S10's but that was funny 😆
thats cool ..i did the same with my 2001 astro van ..original radiator started leaking ....bolted in a full aluminum one...it also lasted about 20 years basically astros and s10s have the same engine and transmissions
one thing to note is mine came through a car dealer that import used cars from the united states,,,,so mine is one of few astros with mile per houre cluster gauge
andddd...a thiner radiator(it was US spec)...when i came to replace mine with the middle east specification radiator it was alooot thicker when i inspected it out of the box ,,,,but it was so expensive at the stealership that a full aluminum radiator from ebay shipped from USA to kuwait is alot cheaper ...about 250 usd to my location in kuwait (it can exceed 120F Here by the way) an upgraded electric fan is on the way too instead of the clutch
@@sebione3576 Haha!...it's been a good little trk.still has the original factory paint ...I had it ceramic coated 2 years ago with 200,000 original miles ..
I had to replace mine on my 1993 S-10 after 25 years, I think moving to Arizona accelerated to its demise
As a Grand Marquis owner I find this video helpful
My neighbors new Hyundai caught fire right in the driveway 😆
Edit **it was another 2.0T, not electric**
Korean, what do you expect? And PLEASE tell me it's electric!
@@isaac24 lol! No it was just a 2.0t
Just as good. Wait till the treehugger houses catch on fire because of the explodable devices that they call cars.
@@isaac24 stupid electric cars
I watched a Korean review on the new Palisade, it comes standard with a fire extinguisher! 😳
Scotty said "plastic shield" instead of "plastic crap"
Ah man working on my favorite system, one of my favorite cars to work on, one of my favorite car CZcamsrs
I love my Grand Marquis. It was made in 1995, needs occasional repair, but it beats a car payment anyday on some depreciating computer-on-wheels we have today. Parts readily available too, I can do most of the work myself saving $$$.
If you look in the expansion tank and see bubbles coming to the surface. That'll tell you ninety-nine percent of the time a head gasket is blown
On the first-generation Ford Focus, there is no radiator cap and the coolant tank is pressurized. Bubbles in the coolant can be the system "burping" if any coolant was spilled from servicing or a leak (there's also no burping bolt on the car, the system is designed to burp instead). It doesn't necessarily mean a head gasket leak on such cars.
I'm my experience with this engine, they very rarely blow head gaskets unless run dry. More than likely the intake manifold gasket is leaking as it has ports that run coolant through it. These plastic intakes warp or crack over time and need to be replaced but these engines are solid.
@@joevelasquez2297 Got lucky w/ my 1st of these, never a problem on my '98 Grand Marquis. Bought it at 93K and scrapped it at 167k, still running great. My 2nd one, a '97 Crown Vic I bought w/ 110k, blew the intake a 120k.
Or someone didn't have any antifreeze, so they dumped Mountain Dew in it.
@@JodyBruchon there is a difference between "Burping" and a steady stream of small bubbles. Vent the pressurized tank slowly then looking inside. Or open the cap while the engine is cold and start the engine up.
Seeing this still makes me proud to own one from 06 in blue with 48k miles 🖤
That thing isn't even broke in yet. Will last a really long time if you take care of it
I love that about my Merc GM, easy to work on with cheap, plentiful parts.
Now this is what I want! Scotty doing some easy, basic maintenance like changing radiators and whatnot.
It's true that car cooling systems and etc are basically the same, but seeing how it being repaired on different cars with different configurations just make me understand better.
Love this vid
Out standing shipmate. Press on. After 35 years of working for Toyota I find your video`s so funny.
I thought I was the only one who got coolant on me. Watching the freon fluid come out in slow motion made me smile - we have all been there
@Mark Codiroli lol. I must have been asleep this morning. Its coolant
I have two Mountaineers and one has 297,850 and the other 257,973. Oil changes and a good maintenance regiment is the answer. Two radiators, 5 brake out, two exhaust systems a bunch of tires, fan belts and other mickey mouse stuff...they're great cars! I follow Scotty to a "T!"
That brought back memories when I had to replace that on my sister's car.😂😂
Be sure to clean up any spilled fluid so animals don't drink it. ;-)
Natural selection if any animal drinks enough coolant it die or get sick it had it coming
David - Glycol [rad fluid] has a really sweet pleasant taste.
@@rogertycholiz2218, it does. I've tasted it before.
@@rogertycholiz2218 mmmmmmh mountain dew.
It's easy to replace a radiator! 1hr job on my Toyota PU. Ordered online $200 including shipping. Replaced fan + fan clutch $30 for all.
Right on Scotty we need more people like you
"Getting it on is usually easier than getting it off"
Thats what she said
I have a 2007 crown Vic I bought from police auction and I’m surprised is really easy to work on.. Plus the engine is really healthy so it was a good purchase
I do the whole schmeer. Radiator, thermostat and hoses. Having blown a Subaru head gasket because of a radiator hose getting a hole in it. Ruined a good FF1
Star with only 81,000 miles. My old mini Cooper Japanese knockoff. 1100cc of fabuloso!
That was very easy to do. Thanks Scotty too show us how to do that job.
You made the radiator change look like a walk in the park. You are so skillful and have such a range of knowledge.+++++++++++++++
A master at work. Thanks, Scotty!
I had to replace the radiator in my wife's Sport Trac (same as an Explorer). To do it Ford installed the radiator and AC condenser as a unit and wanted the condenser evacuated and removed with the radiator. I didn't do that. I used my ingenuity and removed only the radiator. Still a pain, but no work had to be done on the AC. We ended up trading the Sport Trac in for an Avalanche. Been a year and no problems, yet. We'll see how long till problems show up.
the slo-mo coolant part had me ROLLING HAHA
That lower hose sure looked roached out. I was wondering why it wasn't replaced until I saw the steam coming out there exhaust. Talk about turning a minor issue into a major problem. All because of neglect...
Good one Scotty. Great editing too!
Scott's a frickin national treasure. Love these videos.
It's nice to hear that Rochester is getting some new industry. I once lived about 30 miles South of there. I've always though that hydrogen was the best bet for new fuels.
3:14 *wasted*
Can’t get enough of these videos from you bro
thank you!
Im from germany and from what i know we dont use hydrogen trucks right now. I think they got something planned,but on the road? No as far as im concerned. But go ahead and correct my on this if im wrong i would gladly hear it.
You know in the year 2040 we will still be driving old crownvictorias.
Nah, they'll make them illegal -- but they'll still be driveable
Bidens climate czar gonna do away with gas cars
Im shocked that Scotty recommended using screw-tighten hose clamps that unevenly put pressure on the hose rather than the OEM spring clamps that put even pressure all the way around the hose.
When it comes to radiator, better replacing than using epoxy. In this case being cheap turns out to be more expensive in the end. A tiny leak can end in overheated engine, damaged heads, and maybe even worse.
Let’s thanks to Scotty for sash as big effort to make this videos by himself 👏🏻
May you be blessed with long life Sir Kilmer. Why? Because I have a lot to learn from you. Regards.
No cuss words were used in the making of this video! Great job Scotty!!!
Most of the time on these its the intake manifold that leaks and causes the steam. they are not known for bad head gaskets.

Looked like the Bionic Man working on that radiator
Good afternoon Scotty, listening to you with these car repair videos makes it sound so simple, all you really need is PATIENCE to make it work have a good day!! 🙌🧰🤔🍺
Hi scotty, you are the master
i can tell im getting old love the videos but love scootys old jean jacket lol wish i had my old one
Scotty Kilmer, you are a comedian. I like your content. Thank you
I love scotty
Scotty. Can you please try to keep the camera steady when youre filming. I get dizzy when it moves around like this.
Radiators used to be made of Copper and Brass. Radiators were cleaned and repaired at a, now extinct, Radiator shop.
Look how fast Scotty works!
I think I would've checked for engine damage like a blown head gasket or cracked head before replacing a radiator. Bad engine, don't spend anything to repair anything. Cut your losses.
what about replacing the hoses?
You used to call it plastic crap. What happened?
Offensive to women in Hollywood.
Its not on a Mercedes or a BMW
Audi only
Fights at every inch is right haha im glad my first car i learned to fix was a mercury cause everything else looks easy to me now
Good evening family. Like always, thanks for you valuable time and information 🙏👍👍
Ford, GM & Chrysler used that green coolant, while Toyota uses pink coolant
So? Honda uses blue
Have a good day uncle scotty
thanks you too!
I love Scotty. Such a smart man. Reminds me of my grandfather. Keep it up!!!!!!! Learn stuff from u everyday. Way more then the auto tech school I graduated from20 yrs ago!! Keep learning new stuff everyday. Your never to old to learn keep the brain fresh with ideas.
This is why I prefer older cars too.
dont forget put the head gasket repair!
Acid wash jacket 🔥
Now this video is entertaining & informative
hey scotty! what do you think is the current best subie to buy in America?
Scotty, these videos of you fixing cars are my favorite. Thanks for filming them.
NAPA know how
How about thermostat is it bad when we remove it
just in time for my 2001 mercury grand marquise
“And as usual, a hose clamp has disappeared. I have a box of them” LOL! You kill me Scotty! Keep up the great work!
Man, I love these video's!
What is your opinion on the 4 cylinder engine of the Ford Explorer found in the 2020.
If scotty know they are doing a mini advert before his video he would probably leave youtube 😂
"One clamps disappeared, as usual! LMAO
You never showed draining the coolant first. Also you should be using a vacuum tool to put coolant in not just poor it in.
Hey Scotty. Glad that you mentioned Hisan and Rochester, NY. A friend of mine is in Quality Assurance at the manufacturer for Hyzon, its in a former GM plant for Hisan.
As long as you’ve been wrenching why haven’t you made the switch to electric ratchets?

I was wondering why a few people here in Rochester New York was selling the Toyota Mirai. I remember hearing they were hydrogen vehicles so that would make sense why they are now trying to sell them here.
I had a 2012 Ford Escape hybrid once. It got to 195k and ran like a clock but had to get rid of it because it got totalled.
Hey Scotty what's your favorite tool brand mine's Craftsman
