Imagine living near Scotty and knowing that if your car ever has a problem you have an honest mechanic who will be there to not only fix your car but also wave his hands around!
After you take your last breath are you going to heaven or hell? Please ask yourself that question now. Jesus can save your soul from hell. He will forgive your sins. He said whoever calls upon his name shall be saved. Call upon Jesus today. Repent and believe the gospel.
@@deondre294 normally the "christians" who come against my evangelism aren't christians at all. The bible says some believe in Jesus with there lips but there heart is far from Him. Do you fall into that category deondre. Did you forget that Jesus commands christians to reach lost people. Look yourself in the mirror and ask yourself if you really know Jesus.
@@1984wasntreal the bible says people of the world will hate us, like they hated Jesus. Do you think the gospel makes us friends to the world? Have you shared your faith publicly or even on social media. What type of response do you expect. In my experience, I get some people like you who claim to be christian and come against what the bible says. Does talking about heaven and hell scare people away? I guess they would be scared of the bible too. You better repent of what you said because you are not to come against evangelism. If you have any fear of God.
0:07 Toyota Tundra (bough last year 140k miles) 16years old. 3:45 - Scan tool 5:52 - road test 6:33 - some WD40 action 8:20 - questions 8:24 - New Jersey can’t pump own gas, trying to make self service now
A starter (Go out around 150k for all Toyota trucks), New rotors, and brake pads( Those Tundra's are famous for bad rotors), A new set of belts (Go at around 170k for those trucks), and new tires ($500 for "economy" Chinese, or $1000.00 for new Michelin's)... All in all around $2500.00 to make that truck reliable( IF you do the work yourself.)...Ask me how I know...Almost forgot the water pump...Those are "fun"...
that sucks, you need some with morals and enough intelligence to call them out, maybe shaming/legal action will be enough to straighten them out, thankfully I got a couple good ones near me
Scotty, just a tip my father taught me. For a real evaluation on checking the ball joint, jack up the wheel with the jack under the lower a frame that way the suspension will be in the same position as if the wheel was on the ground. Give it a shake then. When jacked up under the frame the suspension and ball joint will hang in a position unnatural and unworn for common driving. Keep the great suggestions coming.
@@buffystclair9042 for any vehicle the correct way is to jack it up via the control arm to load the suspension. when the car starts lifting up instead of the spring compressing it is fully loaded and you can check the cars parts the most accurate way.
@@uprajspocketworld a lot of new cars have aluminum control arms that you should avoid jacking on when ever possible. Obviously this tundra has thick steel
80% of the car mechanics will rip you off. I worked for a man who owned a garage and he bought junk yard parts and charged the customer brand new part prices.
That's the sad part. Truth always hurt, especially during Plandemic...a few friends already got ripped off. That's why I *always* do my car maintenance as much as possible and *drive my car slowly* or not abused my car.
As a youth I got a job in a TV repair shop, my boss had me polishing picture tube inside the cabinet then he would charge the owner for a new one. I quit shortly after. That lesson encouraged me to learn and fix my possessions for myself.
You’ve taught me so much Scotty! No only have I brought my cars back to life when they need attention but now Im starting to work on my own CZcams channel to pass the knowledge on. Thank you so much!
@@doublew030 I love Scotty. But i think his opinion on Dodge is dated back to the GM days. They’re actually very reliable and sturdy cars now. They only break a lot because their owners LOVE to abuse them without proper care.

..... straight to the Mass Air Flow Sensor???? I'm sure I've seen one of your other videos where changing the MAFS is the LAST option when faced with a lean mixture.
@@carolbabb7875 - Who said anything about CHANGING it??? My point is that here Scotty reasoned straight away that the MAFS was THE culprit of said fault, whereas in the other vid, he went through several other possible causes first.
Have 2006 4x4 - only problems are 1. Stupid smog pump - bought override online already (mouse made a nest in the pump motor and motor died all together with pump control module almost $300 at the dealer) Whole pump system with pump motor, valves and module cost about 700-800$ or you just buy bypass for about $160 and yes Toyota won't fix it even there was recall for 2007 and up 2. Bad ball joints - if your truck makes squeaky sounds from suspension or steering wheel not going back to position after turn you have to change lower ball joints - get a good ones (about 60+$ each) 3. Brakes - hard to get rid of air from system, also front calipers are junk and watch for rusted out brake lines by the wheel/frame - had one cracked when driving - just a tiny hole but it was barely braking at all Besides that change fluids in transmission with factory oil and change screen (don't flush transmission - just drop whatever comes out and measure it and put same amount back in - no dipstick on 2005-2006 just a plug in tranny pan, fluids in rear and differentials and you good to go for another 100k+ miles - don't forget timing belt every 100k
This 2006 Toyota Tundra large pick-up truck with the 4.7 L V8 engine is still in great shape. They are much better compared to the newer ones that we have today.
I have seen people who refused to go Toyota for the insulators. What they did was use a really good quality thick garden hose , shove the spring ends into the hose until the hose length is enough to separate the spring from the absorber base plate, not wrap the whole spring with the hose , cut excess hose off then reassemble the absorber and spring . That replaces the insulator.
My son worked at a dealership at the beginning of his career changing oil. His lead mechanic would give him a box of oil filters every few days. My son asked him why . He said "I dont change them cause it takes too long" I still have a box somewhere with some of those honda filters in it. Like somebody said 80-90% are bad mechanics. It sad but our society has lost its integrity from the top down..
When I was 17 and working in a restaurant this mechanic was having a celebratory lunch and when I asked them what they were celebrating they said "picking up that car for $500'' and I looked over at a 90s Camaro. They told the dude the engine was blown and it was a fricken spark plug that was bad so it wouldn't turnover. Disgusting.
Thank you for sharing your videos ❤️. Yes there so many mechanics who say they fixed your car. Still not working. I will always check my car out when I take it too a mechanic. Thank you for sharing your tips.
We're products of bullying and damaged because of it, so much so that many of us think we talented when we're not. So help stop or drastically lessen innocent and helpless children from being bullied by adults at every level of society already! Or are you too messed up to not see the absolute truth in my claim.
Reminds me of my dad's tundra. He bounced it off the sidewalls on the interstate at about 150k miles and the insurance totaled it. Broke my heart because I was looking forward to inheriting it some day, but instead I still have my 99 rwd dakota.
And the customers are standing behind Scotty in stunned amazement at the level of his honesty and expertise.😯 And he misses nothing. Not even the thread hanging from the steering wheel..😄
I remember in the 60's, I owned a MG Midget. I pulled into the service station wherein a man came out and said "you have to pump your own gas" to which I replied, "No, I don't" and sped away to a service station that still pumped gas. LOL
I've never seen somebody work so hard to not change out a rubber isolator/mount. Those cost $20 to $30 by multiple aftermarket companies not just Toyota as well. I guess every manufacturer just puts those on for fun instead of just putting grease on top lol.
People dont wanna change them because you have to take the shock apart to do so. On a coilover thats been on for a while, the bolt holding the shock together gets pretty rusty. Youre more likely to just break the top shaft off the shock, or round off the bolt and have to cut it off. Unless youre gonna replace the whole shock, its better to leave it alone usually. By the time the rubber isolator is worn out, you should really change the whole shock anyway.
The no pumping your own gas rule is in NJ and Oregon (urban areas). It was done to create more jobs and help prevent gas thefts. Now with pay at the pump, they can avoid the gas thefts. Just a law to keep taxes high to create gas pumper jobs now.
Scotty, Setting the record straight!! YES New Jersey probably is as crooked as you think BUT Gas prices are cheaper, YES I said cheaper than Pennsylvania and also New York!!!! And the good thing having a person pump your gas gives a person a JOB!!! Gary
@Gary Loud That's because you guys are lucky enough to have plenty of refineries there, and transporting fuel is a short trip and cheap for the distributors.
@@watershed44 let's not forget that NY and PA are neighboring states, not 4 or 5 away from NJ. State fuel taxes are higher in these 2 states and a lot of these who live on the border come to NJ to buy their fuel. I've witnessed it Oh by the way DE has same prices as NJ. another neighbor.
the one good thing we have in NJ is you don't have to pump gas, plus that job employs alot of older retired guys and younger people too, and the tips are great!!!
@@OneOut1 You're "allowed" to. I stopped in NJ to get gas. No one immediately came up to me, so I got out of the car and found someone. I said, "I guess you guys gotta fill it up, huh?" He said, "yeah, but you can if you want to," then he proceeded to tell me how to do it as if I had never done so before! (insert Scotty's laughing donkey here)
Scotty I just had my 4 wheel alignment outback 2017 done at Sabaru dealership , it still pulls to the right ! The service manager said the road causes this to happen! On a flat straight road it still pulls to the right, I am going to go to another private shop and see what they say! I have been driving for 51 years and I know when a car is out of alignment!!
In Oregon we still have gas attendants, it is very inefficient. Especially at Costco. When you pump your own gas there's one attendant per vehicle instead of a few trying to service many vehicles at once.
Really? Huh, I'm in New Jersey so we have attendants and honestly Costco always goes very well for me even with all the cars. In fact I genuinely like getting gas at Costco because, aside from the line itself, they're easily one of the fastest. But, oh hell yeah there are PLENTY of times where I wish we could just do it ourselves
1:50 at this point I would really investigate the upper A arm bushings. When they wear the weight of the vehicle shoves the upper A arms inward towards the frame causing the inner tread of the tire to wear more.
It was wonderful to have gas pumped, windshield cleaned, oil checked. Created a good relationship with the gas station owner/ mechanic. Good old days 💚
Gas in NJ is cheaper than Pennsylvania. In fact before the .22.6 a gallon tax was put into place a few years back, it was among the cheapest in the country. Still today cheaper than PA.
Hey Scotty...gas prices in NJ are comparable or slightly lower than nearby states. What you really DON'T want to buy in Jersey is a house. Outrageous property taxes.
Oregon also does not let you pump your own gas. It does mean that some people are employed that might no find jobs elsewhere. Our gas prices while not the lowest US, but are a lot lower than our neighborr California.
Had a local mechanic look at one of my rollers that wouldn’t start at all. Proceeded to tell me the starter, relay, fuse and carburetor needed service. As well the hydraulic hoses. I said okay, he says “yup, that’ll be like $1,300.00 I called up another mobile mechanic with 36 years experience. Took a look and knew exactly what the issue was and got it started. Other mechanic showed up and saw the roller running. I’ve never seen a man distance himself and pretend to play on his phone so much. I proceeded to look him in the eye, and start/stop the roller just to throw it in his face.
I live in NJ and ride a Triumph. They won't pump gas if you have a bike. They don't want anything to do with it. Which is fine with me. I grew up in NY and pumped gas all the time. It's a waste of time and money to make self-serve illegal.
Oregon has that stupid law also, where you can’t pump your own gas. When I was a teenager I pumped gas - I also had to wash the windshield and check the oil for every customer.
A woman from NJ, came to California. She had never fueled her own vehicle before, I surmise, because she self-served her gasoline powered car up with diesel.
I have said for over 40 years that self service is a lie. It is NO service. And before pay at the pump? Stand in line to give some freak with metal sticking out of his or her tattooed face to give them my credit card because they did not trust me. And then have to stand in line a second time to retrieve my credit card because they did not trust me. And just hope they remembered to turn your pump on so a third trip back into the building to stand in line to get the pump turned on was not necessary.
Oh Scotty. I don't see a jack stand. Safety first Scotty. I know the Toyota is structurally sound but a jack isn't always structurally sound. Please be careful Scotty. 🙏
Thank you Scotty I have a 2000 Toyota Camry with the same problem, it’s not as aggressive as this video but I’ve been trying to trace it down for months, with everything I’ve thrown at it, it’s an old car and yes I put a lot of money into it but I love this car starts up every time have a good one Scotty!!!
In Oregon you cannot pump your own gas too. You can always spot an Oregonian at a gas station, they are sitting in their cars waiting for someone to put gas in their car or are confused on how to do it.
I worked at a buick dealership in the 80s. I found out that we needed to reseat the rear coil springs to eliminate a clunk. Some owners complained about the noise , and some didn't even realized until we repeated them
Can't pump your own gas in Oregon either. Better to wait 10 minutes sitting there and have a professional do it than accidentally pumping it in my wiper fluid reservoir lol.
200 bucks for ball joints installed with diagnosis doesn't sound realistic anyway. Sway bar links with misdiagnoses makes more sense at that price. Hopefully they at least recommend tires and alignment. Then again with the diagnosis already blown, why bother spending any more at that shop.
New Jersey gas prices are lower than the surrounding states and rolling down the window while it’s raining or snowing or windy as hell (we got wind) is pretty damn easy to get used to. We have a saying, pumping your own gas is for suckers.
You incorrectly checked the bottom balljoints as there were loaded. You need to take the weight off the balljoint by using a jack or jackstand on the bottom control arm not the chassis. People make mistakes, stop calling every mechanic a ripoff. It makes our trade toxic and makes everyone think mechanics are untrustworthy.
Hate to break it to Scotty, but 75% of people here in NJ do not want to pump their own gas, and gas is way more expensive in Pennsylvania, which has the highest gas taxes of any state. Personally, the option to have it is fine with me. There are tradeoffs - you want self serve when you're in a hurry and you want full serve when you're in a monsoon.

The no pumping your own gas rule is in NJ and Oregon (urban areas). It was done to create more jobs and help prevent gas thefts. Now with pay at the pump, they can avoid the gas thefts. Just a law to keep taxes high to create gas pumper jobs now.
Scotty, Setting the record straight!! YES New Jersey probably is as crooked as you think BUT Gas prices are cheaper, YES I said cheaper than Pennsylvania and also New York!!!! And the good thing having a person pump your gas gives a person a JOB!!! Gary
@Gary Loud
That's because you guys are lucky enough to have plenty of refineries there, and transporting fuel is a short trip and cheap for the distributors.
@@watershed44 let's not forget that NY and PA are neighboring states, not 4 or 5 away from NJ. State fuel taxes are higher in these 2 states and a lot of these who live on the border come to NJ to buy their fuel. I've witnessed it Oh by the way DE has same prices as NJ. another neighbor.
@@garyloud4204 True, I lived in PA and they are chasing all the decent wage earners and businesses out of the state with their outrageous taxes.
Already left the thieves behind in NJ and went south. Good luck.
Gas is actually cheaper in New Jersey than in Pennsylvania. Many people on the border go to NJ to get gas.
It's illegal to pump your own gas in Oregon as well. Weirdest thing ever.
steering rack bushing are notorious on this model when they good bad the whole rack shifts
Yah he never checked any steering components.
the one good thing we have in NJ is you don't have to pump gas, plus that job employs alot of older retired guys and younger people too, and the tips are great!!!
Actually you are not allowed to pump your own gas.
@@OneOut1 You're "allowed" to. I stopped in NJ to get gas. No one immediately came up to me, so I got out of the car and found someone. I said, "I guess you guys gotta fill it up, huh?" He said, "yeah, but you can if you want to," then he proceeded to tell me how to do it as if I had never done so before! (insert Scotty's laughing donkey here)
Scotty makes old cars cool again!
Scotty I just had my 4 wheel alignment outback 2017 done at Sabaru dealership , it still pulls to the right ! The service manager said the road causes this to happen! On a flat straight road it still pulls to the right, I am going to go to another private shop and see what they say! I have been driving for 51 years and I know when a car is out of alignment!!
In Oregon we still have gas attendants, it is very inefficient. Especially at Costco. When you pump your own gas there's one attendant per vehicle instead of a few trying to service many vehicles at once.
Really? Huh, I'm in New Jersey so we have attendants and honestly Costco always goes very well for me even with all the cars. In fact I genuinely like getting gas at Costco because, aside from the line itself, they're easily one of the fastest. But, oh hell yeah there are PLENTY of times where I wish we could just do it ourselves
I'm in Oregon and we're not allowed to pump our own gas either. That needs to change
I would use Jack stands as well scotty, safety first please its scary to see u pop ur head under the car with just a jack holding it up
Plus It might be a good idea to chock a wheel or two? Unless the surface is dead level?
Scotty ??
Luvya Scotty, safety jack ??
Gas is ALWAYS 12-25 cents cheaper in New Jersey than in Pennsylvania. ALWAYS. FULL service in Jersey is less money than pump your own in PA.
Love when Scotty wrenches, he's still got it 👍🏽🧰🔧👊🏽
1:50 at this point I would really investigate the upper A arm bushings. When they wear the weight of the vehicle shoves the upper A arms inward towards the frame causing the inner tread of the tire to wear more.
Theres that Toyota quality shining through again aye Scotty?????? My 1991 Ford Ranger has 326,000 miles and makes no noise at all in the steering.
PA where the gas is cheaper. First time in history that's ever been said..... Keep up the good work Scotty
It was wonderful to have gas pumped, windshield cleaned, oil checked. Created a good relationship with the gas station owner/ mechanic. Good old days 💚
Gas in NJ is cheaper than Pennsylvania. In fact before the .22.6 a gallon tax was put into place a few years back, it was among the cheapest in the country. Still today cheaper than PA.
I worked in Somerset Pennsylvania and you couldn't pump your gas either. Crazy Northern states.
Hey Scotty...gas prices in NJ are comparable or slightly lower than nearby states. What you really DON'T want to buy in Jersey is a house. Outrageous property taxes.
Oregon also does not let you pump your own gas. It does mean that some people are employed that might no find jobs elsewhere. Our gas prices while not the lowest US, but are a lot lower than our neighborr California.
Had a local mechanic look at one of my rollers that wouldn’t start at all. Proceeded to tell me the starter, relay, fuse and carburetor needed service. As well the hydraulic hoses. I said okay, he says “yup, that’ll be like $1,300.00 I called up another mobile mechanic with 36 years experience. Took a look and knew exactly what the issue was and got it started. Other mechanic showed up and saw the roller running. I’ve never seen a man distance himself and pretend to play on his phone so much. I proceeded to look him in the eye, and start/stop the roller just to throw it in his face.
Oregon doesn't allow you to pump your own gas also (except for motorcycles.....attendants will "usually" allow you to pump your own).
Same thing happens to my 20 year old Honda. Drives fine and alignment is true and steers perfectly fine. Makes noise but what old Honda doesn't
Gets points for cleanliness!
I live in NJ and ride a Triumph. They won't pump gas if you have a bike. They don't want anything to do with it. Which is fine with me. I grew up in NY and pumped gas all the time. It's a waste of time and money to make self-serve illegal.
Oregon is full service only too.. it’s crazy
Oregon has that stupid law also, where you can’t pump your own gas. When I was a teenager I pumped gas - I also had to wash the windshield and check the oil for every customer.
I own this same truck except an 04 and it’s solid as a rock.
A woman from NJ, came to California. She had never fueled her own vehicle before, I surmise, because she self-served her gasoline powered car up with diesel.
In Jersey gas is actually cheaper than PA. AND you get a guy to pump your gas what a deal!
In July 2019 Oregon still had gas attendants
Scotty's hand gestures could conduct an orchestra of mechanics.
I have said for over 40 years that self service is a lie. It is NO service. And before pay at the pump? Stand in line to give some freak with metal sticking out of his or her tattooed face to give them my credit card because they did not trust me. And then have to stand in line a second time to retrieve my credit card because they did not trust me. And just hope they remembered to turn your pump on so a third trip back into the building to stand in line to get the pump turned on was not necessary.
Oh Scotty. I don't see a jack stand. Safety first Scotty. I know the Toyota is structurally sound but a jack isn't always structurally sound. Please be careful Scotty. 🙏
Thank you Scotty I have a 2000 Toyota Camry with the same problem, it’s not as aggressive as this video but I’ve been trying to trace it down for months, with everything I’ve thrown at it, it’s an old car and yes I put a lot of money into it but I love this car starts up every time have a good one Scotty!!!
@@AT-wl9yq He is in fact a mechanic...it's his full time job
In Oregon you cannot pump your own gas too. You can always spot an Oregonian at a gas station, they are sitting in their cars waiting for someone to put gas in their car or are confused on how to do it.
I worked at a buick dealership in the 80s. I found out that we needed to reseat the rear coil springs to eliminate a clunk. Some owners complained about the noise , and some didn't even realized until we repeated them
Last time I checked gas was NOT cheaper in P.A. vs N.J.
Can't pump your own gas in Oregon either. Better to wait 10 minutes sitting there and have a professional do it than accidentally pumping it in my wiper fluid reservoir lol.
Those 4.7s were absolutely amazing.
he's lucky. i had a similar noise and it was the power steering rack. cost a G to replace.
Oregon is also a state that you cannot pump your own gas, unless you are in a late night like after 10 pm in rural areas.
Gas is MORE expensive in Pennsylvania than New Jersey...
Have a 2006 Tundra 4.0 2WD with 267,000 miles and no problems whatsoever.
200 bucks for ball joints installed with diagnosis doesn't sound realistic anyway. Sway bar links with misdiagnoses makes more sense at that price. Hopefully they at least recommend tires and alignment. Then again with the diagnosis already blown, why bother spending any more at that shop.
I dont see any jackstands ...
Stay Safe , Scotty !
NJ has cheaper gas than PA Scotty Greetings from Philly
New Jersey gas prices are lower than the surrounding states and rolling down the window while it’s raining or snowing or windy as hell (we got wind) is pretty damn easy to get used to. We have a saying, pumping your own gas is for suckers.
Worn out bearing(s) can or WILL wear out tires like that too.
Yea...but they claimed they did ball joints
Right bumper reveals
A collision of some sort to throw off the alignment of the truck
They don’t pump their own gas in Oregon either.
You incorrectly checked the bottom balljoints as there were loaded. You need to take the weight off the balljoint by using a jack or jackstand on the bottom control arm not the chassis.
People make mistakes, stop calling every mechanic a ripoff. It makes our trade toxic and makes everyone think mechanics are untrustworthy.
Hate to break it to Scotty, but 75% of people here in NJ do not want to pump their own gas, and gas is way more expensive in Pennsylvania, which has the highest gas taxes of any state. Personally, the option to have it is fine with me. There are tradeoffs - you want self serve when you're in a hurry and you want full serve when you're in a monsoon.
ATTENTION - You can't pump your own gas in OREGON either!!!!!
Steering rack 👍👍👍👍Springs don't make noise when you turn the wheel👏
Used pump gas in Jersey... check oil, clean windshield... tips were nice.
