Scott never stop being you i rather be hated telling the truth than to not educate the public
Excuse me; Scott?? I need your help,
Thanks Scotty, are you enjoying clarksville ? I've been there quite a bit ( while driving a truck ) it's a little different than TX but still has some nice people, thanks again great video
Never ever be ashamed of telling the truth!!!
Scotty my Fiat 500 is not working help i dont know what to do
"here's why the diesel engine is about to be illegal to own" ..then proceeds to show a 10 minute video explaining all the positives of deisel engine. *scratches head*
I came to the comments to see if this video was as useless as the first two minutes. Thanks.
Yes nothing about why
Lasts too long, they will run forever when properly maintained, not acceptable in todays disposable society
Until 10:55, then he mentions that Europe is thinking about making them illegal
Well don’t be like me and waste 11 minutes of your life thinking that he’s gonna tell you why the 6.7 Cummins will be illegals to own...... smh
I've been drive diesels for 25 years now, massive torque and great fuel economy, you’d have to be nuts not to.
Maybe a petrol car with lpg is better
@@dragospahontu no just no
I love Petrol and LPG is good but Diesel is a lot more efficient than LPG
Damn i didnt know bart became a truck driver noice
i mean steep maintenance costs are a pretty big downside. sure, they’re very reliable engines, but when something finally needs fixing you’re gonna be paying a hefty price unless you’re doing it yourself.
@@boxr_4214 Diesels are a lot more reliable then gas engines x10
I would like more diesel options in cars in the US.
You can thank vw for that
Americans are ignorant on fuel. They don’t know diesel is better so they don’t buy them and as such, we have few options here.
@@Me-zi9ex its not our fault diesels are more expensive to purchase as well as more expensive to fix so we have been led to believe they are not as good also didn't help that gms early attempts at diesel cars were colossal failures that barely ran
@@moparjr89 , ok, so 30 years ago, maybe a good excuse. You can’t just say, well, GM diesels suck so they all suck. There have been plenty of crap gassers, but you haven’t stopped driving them have you? Diesels have been far better than their gas counterparts for a while now. I haven’t experienced them being more expensive to fix. Most stuff costs about the same. They also last longer, so you get value back that way too. End of day, Americans are just ignorant on lots of things. They don’t take time to learn about much of anything I’ve noticed.
@@Me-zi9ex even 30+ years ago they where good!! the VW Rabbit NA diesel got almost 60mpg!!! normally mid to high 50s. now it defiantly wasn't going to win any speed setting race, but they might have with a turbo??? I love my 6.7PS its a beast. I also have two old IDI 6.9T trucks and with over 400K on them they still run like new!!
They can take my diesel from my cold dead hand.
Why do you think the Feds forced Volkswagen to buy back literally millions of diesel cars they'd already sold in America? The domestic auto industry & the US gov't want literally ALL automobiles to be gasoline. If so much as 10% of the cars on American roads become diesels, then it's a threat to the gas car marketplace. People will realize a car equipped with a diesel engine is much more powerful & more reliable than a comparable car with a gas engine. If that trend takes hold, the demand for gasoline cars & for gasoline itself drops DRASTICALLY. "They" want to maintain the current status quo & keep things just the way they are: PROFITABLE. Tangible progress in the form of increased efficiency, increased reliability, & lowered long term operating & repair costs?!?! Oh no, anything but that! ! Don't disturb the balance!
It's like comparing the household light bulb with LEDs. The industry doesn't want to progress toward improved reliability & reduced operating cost for car owners, because it means far less profitability & lost jobs. In a similar fashion industry leaders pushed to delay the development of a newer, brighter LED that would replace the conventional, outdated light bulb. Reducing the average 60 watts per bulb electrical consumption down to 5 times less with an LED (12 watts per bulb) was a major threat to the multi-billion dollar profitability from sales of electricity, for utility companies nationwide. Not only that but it also meant obsolescence of the light bulb. So instead of the American Public having to replace bulbs around the house every 3 months, the major light bulb producers (General Electric, Westinghousr, Sylvania, Philips, etc) could expect 3 or 4 years to pass before the average American would buy bulbs again, in the case of the LED
Never forget just how badly progress really stinks for the greedy. We would've been driving fuel cell powered cars (converting everyday tap water into hydrogen gas & into electricity) & have houses powered by their own windmill, solar cell, & overnight power supply combonations as far back as the 1960s if it weren't for the death grip that Big Oil holds over the entire economy. And it should be very obvious that the auto giants have been their willing conspirators the entire time. Never forget just how badly this sick game is rigged. It is the underlying cause of our ecological/ environmental ruin, incalculable cost to a wide range of animal & plant life, numerous cancers in humans & various other health issues such as asthma & pulmonary disease

In Spain there used to be way more diesel Cars than Petrol. And every van or truck. Now what?
I had a 1953 Mercedes diesel. It had a four speed on the column and rode like a dream. It would smoke like a chimney but had 3 badges on the grill which meant it had 300,000 miles on it. I sold it to a German for $1,000 more than I paid for it. He said he would get 3 times as much as he paid me when he shipped it and sold it in Germany.
How much did it cost to ship?
Diesel is great!
DEF systems however....
Strip that crap off.
@@zackzander425 Unfortunately there is an ongoing crackdown on makers and distributors of parts and accessories to modify diesel engine exhaust systems. Also, many states are passing laws that bar use of modified engines.
IN some states, if a police officer or other traffic enforcement officer so much as sees black smoke from a diesel powered vehicle newer than a 2009 model, they will effect a stop and issue citations.
And in any state that performs emissions inspections, the vehicle will not pass inspection.
@@patersonplankrd Not where I live; only a few counties in my state do emissions inspections and then you can say the vehicle is being kept in another state if you're in one of those counties. Just move out of the Liberal / Progressive shitholes.
Pee in it!

We used to run electric construction equipment when doing indoor demolition work, but now they have diesels that are so clean they're certified to run indoors. The diesel is a heck of a lot more powerful too.
Are you sure about that, because I was generally under the impression they use propane engines indoors
A friend has a Peugeot Diesel SUV in Ireland, and it gets 66 mpg. Not bad!!

My fire department, which I am retired from, has trucks with Detroit Diesel 2 strokes and Cummins 4 stroke diesels. The simplicity of the 2 strokes is appreciated, but those things eat fuel. The Cummins 4 strokes are reliable and use way less fuel.
Yep prettymuch, any 2 stroke is horribly inneficient, especially petrols, the detriot 2 stroke supercharged diesel is the only reliable 2 stroke i have ever seen. And those things have low output anyways, definetly old technology
New common rail engines that are intercooled and turbocharged with variable geometry turbos are definetly the way forward such as modern engines from toyota, john deere, cummins, volvo, mercedes and many more

That's actually true and has been known for some time.
Several private vans around where I live are using old frying oil for diesel. The smell is unmistakeable ; like when you use used cooking oil to start a bonfire.

My UK 2005 Ford 2-litre Mondeo diesel gets 55mpg (UK Gallon). My '98 Passat 1.8-litre petrol gets 34mpg. But, the UK Gov has decided that petrol and diesel car production must stop in 2030, with some exceptions up to 2035. This is despite the glaringly obvious lack of infrastructure for electric vehicles here and the unworkable charge times. The revenue raised on fuel-duty here is colossal, so that loss will be passed on for electric cars to recoup.
@Edmond Schwab 'they' that is the government, can easily stop someone running whatever they decide is no longer acceptable to be driven. In U.K. there is an annual M.O.T. if the car doesn't meet the reg's then it is no longer legally driveable. If you continue to drive it illegally then the driver is no longer insured (a major problem if you hurt yourself or someone else, maybe a family member). If the police stop you then you will be fined or maybe go to prison for repeat offences and the car could be seized. Happily there is no 'grandfather clause' in the U.K. we've mostly moved on from laws based on outright racism.
@@terencejay8845 Not to mention the entire electric grid will have to be replaced, with new power plants built, to meet the additional demand. And what about the folks who park in the street and can't charge at home?
Electric is great and all, but what's wrong with choices and diversity in energy source? You know, not putting all your eggs into one basket, so to speak? Sigh.
@@thebones Racism? WTF?
@Edmond Schwab You had better wake up and smell the coffee, Edmond! It's all about to start in a few days. Constitution? GONE! 2nd Amendment? GONE! Under $5.00 fuel? GONE! Sure, you can keep your guns. You just won't be able to buy ammo. Want to buy that big truck, sure, you can do that. But fuel will be unaffordable! Dark days ahead, my friend.
An Engine illegal to own? In the LAND OF THE FREE? That's it, I'm saving up for a Corolla and touring Latin America.

The owner's manual for some of the Mercedes Diesels made in the '60s called for a small % amount of low octane gasoline to be mixed with the Diesel fuel to prevent cold weather jelling.

Most new diesel trucks will smoke that 6.4 and my wife’s scat pack will surely dust it.

Probably why it lasted, diesels don't like to be babied!

diesels need to be thrashed. best for them.dont put put a diesel. just change oil & warm up..
Well my 99 Chevy suburban with 5.7 V8 has 330,000 miles. So there!
Newer diesels have complex and expensive emissions systems. Buy an older diesel if you want to avoid the repair issues.

@@jacobwaters3437 based on what? Your biased opinion? It’s got almost 100k hard miles on it and I haven’t had any issues. I got rid of my 2005 Toyota Sienna with 85K because it was falling apart!
@@jeffreysantos9070 unfortunately here in my state of Commiefornia they have a 60 cent a gallon tax on diesel otherwise it would be cheaper than gas too like it should be. I’ll never buy another gas truck though! Buy what you want. So far it’s still a free country. But for fuel mileage vs torque, you can’t go wrong with a diesel.
I love that diesel cars with manual transmissions don't require to change gears all the time because of the torque that the diesel engine produces at low RPM's
I wish we could GET diesel cars here in the U.S., let alone with a manual transmission!
You should probably get an auto then if you’re not shifting. Or what’s the difference?
Aside from the short power curve on the road not a heap of shifting. In town it's constant shifting. I have a Ram with the G-56 trans and in town it's shift,shift,shift.
Mr. Kilmer, thank you for this video! As an owner of a 2017 ford super duty with the "scorpion diesel" engine, it helps me understand more about my diesel truck.

I was looking at a different truck in 2012. I called my brother for his opinion after owning a 5.9 Cummins truck bought new in 2002. He said "I hauled my 72 GMC to the coast on a trailer to my son's house, used less fuel and drove faster than the old Jimmy ever went". The only down side is the lift pump or electronics on the injector pump usually fail faster than the pump itself. My 99 Cummins bought in 2012 hauls and tows very well. The only bad part is fuel prices since January 20, 2021...
Got my first diesel a year ago and I'm now a lifer. The torque alone is addictive as hell and my commute went from two fill-ups in a week to one every ten days.
This is a very informative and unbiased video. I drive an old 12 valve Cummins that never skips a beat and most of the driving I do is on steep slopes and long distances. I've never had more faith in a vehicle or saved that much on fuel, even for a truck built in 1992 with 300k on the engine. Right on Scotty!
As a guy who owns a diesel truck, has owned more than one, and have worked around several. I can say that I don't trust any engine more than diesel engines. I've never seen a gas engine do what a diesel engine will do work wise. Also I've never seen a gas engine last like a diesel engine will. Toyota reliability has nothing on a 12 valve Cummins. Toyota makes a great car and I love them, but Ram makes a truck near and dear to my heart
RAM says thank you cummins....we wouldn't be where we are now if not because of cummins and aisin transmission... Our truck will fall apart way before the Cummins and Aisin.
@@j.l.salayao8055 I've got the Cummins and Aisen combo. It's made for a really great truck. I really trust that transmission and have pulled some good sized trailers already and don't sweat it.
@@TruckerMike089 yeah, sounds like you have a great set up. ram cummins was my first choice to pull our rv full-time on the road however, we ended up with the "ferd" ford 6.7l diesel. If I have another chance to go diesel in the future...definitely ram 6.7l cummins with aisin will be my top choice.

My '81 Toyota Land Cruiser has a 3.2L IDI engine. She will turn 40 years old this coming June of 2021. Engine has been through a general overhaul only last 2018. It has clocked around 150,000 miles, not much yet, but prolly could last for another 150,000 miles later on. Toyota makes ultra reliable vehicles.

There are many details outlined here that are not accurate.
@@Hellosecsi I agree very much so. About the glow pins. And the fuel, oil. He must not have worked on many diesels. I work on diesels for a living and some of the information is not correct.

I gotta say Scotty, I love my 2017 cruze diesel 6 speed manual! My best fuel consumption average on a trip was 63mpg!
wow !!!
Probably the best video I feel Scotty has done have watched many and have found error with many. I don’t feel the errors are intentional and we are all human and feel Scotty makes videos to help people learn and understand automotive issues that is commendable.
I expected to see a picture of a laughing horse or Toby Maguire when he said "squeezing Jello."
The old army "duce and 1/2" could run on almost anything!
Yup
It's called a multifuel engine. Jp4,diesel or even mogas.
Deuce*, Genius.
My favorite truck, too bad i cant find any close to me (found one but it was a rust bucket)
If it weren't for DPF, SCR, and the massive amount of electronic controls required, diesels would be even more reliable and cost-effective than ever. Instead, they are cleaner than ever . . . . but that doesn't deter some local & state lawmakers from writing unnecessary restrictive anti-diesel idling laws and ordinances.
I agree. Even with an EGR in a 2003 Diesel Audi A4, the AWX engine is running perfect.
Great video Scotty 👍👍👍

WOW SCOTTY! Sounded like an audio book and the visual was everything! Kept my attention the whole video; Wonderful job!
My personal opinion as a truck driver in the US if you buy a diesel it’s because you really need one, putting up with the hassle after 2010 with the DEF systems Too many problems fault codes and as they get older as Scotty says BIG Money 💰 pits. I still enjoyed to hear the old roar of semi trucks and pick up trucks and there are still many of them on the road across the nation 👍🏻
I won't to buy a new diesel due to the electronics, particulate filters and DEF systems. The old mechanical diesels were nearly bulletproof but the new emission controlled diesels are scary if they fail (and a lot of them do). I sold my 1986 log truck to a guy who wanted to go back to a mechanical engine because he had spent $30k on repairs to his 2010 truck and it still didn't run.
@@williamdavidson9009 The same reason I'm replacing my 2008 Dodge 2500 truck with a F350 gas powered truck. The maintenance is getting too expensive and I don't drive the truck enough to justify the diesel. Of course, the supply chain and microchip shortage is having an effect on delivery. I ordered the new truck back in November but I received an email today from Ford telling me it will take longer. I might take delivery by June or July or August of year 202?
I wish there will be more Diesel engines in the Us like in Europe !
I've got a 3.7l slant 6, but no european engine I've had has the torque like that down low...and that's a 60s 6 banger.
And I'm.european I've driven my fair share of euro cars
While I'd want more gas cars here. It's annoying walking a baby with all these diesels engines revving and sounding like noisy trucks.
@Raimonster i used to work in a warehouse in the US, and i remember all our heavy trucks were diésel and they used this additive called DEF i was told this thing helps to avoid Heavy Black smoke and odor but it increases fuel consumption. I don't remember seen these trucks leaving a huge trail of dark smoke at all.
The same reason why Rockefeller bought up the electric trolleys in San Francisco and sold the city fossil fuel burning buses. The EPA has vilified diesels because they are too good in fuel.
I agree but without the DEF system
Scotty you're a Legend across Texas 👏
Thanks Scotty. Love the help on ol paint jeep.
Clean fuel clean air and change the oil regularly and diesels will out last two or three gas motors especially if you work them
We had a VW TDI; I was under the impression the oil did not need to be changed as often (10k mi vs 6ishk). Is that wrong?
@@mry82 Ram trucks with the Cummins diesel can run 15 thousand miles between oil changes. The computer tells you when to change.
Some people have their used oil tested to be sure they aren’t over extending the interval. Synthetic oils can go a long way.
That was a pleasant, enjoyable, informative video. Thanks!
T-34 tanks had v12 diesels powering them and then there are behemoth 2 stroke diesels in ships.
My first car was a diesel. I’ve owned diesels all my life. There is no substitute for the power, reliability, and torque of diesel power. There are few cars on the road that will outrun a modern diesel from a standstill. And, if maintained, they will last a million miles... trust me.
Ye , but the emissions crap will mess up with in 50000 miles no matter how much you keep your maintenance up
My 2003 7.3L Powerstroke is still going strong, with proper maintenance and additives. 320,000 miles of that beautiful purring. Just had the glow plugs replaced-for the first time! No DEF and all that other bullshite. No catalytic converter, just that beautiful not always subtle smoke to let you know she likes to accelerate from time to time. I do love that truck. Wife is getting bored with it though, my mechanic and about 20 other people want it. We'll see. Nice video.
@@zubrickadvisors6742 you lucky. Those older power stroke is super reliable
@@zubrickadvisors6742 I love my 01 power stroke. Over 200K. Original everything and 100% stock. Only think I’ve done is change the CPS once. Gotta love turning the truck off during a drive thru due to it being straight piped 😅 long live the 7 TREE
Scott - you always manage to pour your (obviously massive) heart into these videos...and it shows. Thank you so much for your honesty and overall disgust of corporate shenanigans. Keep plugging
Great stuff Mr Scotty, we enjoy these kind of videos
200k on the good ole PowerSmoke! Still truckin’
315k on the 7.3!
@@eli709 330 on my 97 7.3. it runs like a champ and goes, despite the moderate blow by. might have bad rings. eek
Damn I wish I had my 7.3 still but I have the 6.0 but it’s been rebuilt with the studs. 499k and going strong
This is probably a top 10-15 video so far great way showing the customers the benefits. I love diesel it pays nice 😎
This was a great video! Very informative!
Nice video, well thought out, very informative and interesting. Good job
i like how he never talked about why that diesel engine was gonna be illegal.
well, all of them in the EU - for regular driving. Commercial trucks will probably still be a thing.
OR maybe the electrics will take over? Electrics have great torque! They can also have issues in extreme temps (cold or hot) ... EU electric (truck) test ground!
At the end
He said it in another video: some countries are trying to phase out combustion engines
In the United States of America it’s called the epa or green nuts.
Not all diesels have glow plugs. Cummins has a grid heater.
Also, glossed over by Scotty: The glow plugs (and grid heaters) are only used when the engine is cold (just before starting)
I am learning a lot, thank you!
I bought a 1977 Mercedes 300D in 1987 with about 100k miles on it. I did my own maintenance and finally gave it to charity in 2005. It cost about $700 per year minus insurance and fuel. I kept Dunlap GT qualifier tires on it so once I got it up to speed, I didn't have to slow down as much for corners. I had to adjust the valves every 15k miles or so, but it was easy with the special wrenches. Hot days going up hill in a wool suit was not fun because I had to turn the A/C off, roll down the windows, and turn the heater on. I only had to call a taxi once when it wouldn't start in cold weather.
I got news for them my 7.3 is staying with me the only way they’ll get it is over my cold dead body
The only bad thing about diesel is the repair cost. Not many $500 dollar repairs it’s more like $5000 repairs
You can get new engine for $5k what are you smoking
Great vid Scotty. I just bought a John Deere tractor. First thing diesel I’ve ever owner so this was pretty educational.
Thank you.
Mike~
the quality of the video is AMAZING... i love it, i really love this format.
I like how Scotty has been using the cut out of him on his thumbnails for almost the beginning of the channel.
Clearly explained by a professional......😎✌️
I own 2 diesel vehicles: Arctic Cat 700 Lombardini/Kohler that I turbochargrd and a Ram 4x4 1500 Ecodiesel. Love em both. The 3 ton 4x4 Ram gets better mpg than my girlfriend's Corolla! Yes it's tuned and has gotten 900 + miles on a 26 gallon tank.
I'm really liking the new program your doing on here I've been turning wrench for 30+ years and when I get someone asking me questions and I don't have the time to explain I pull up one of your videos and let them watch it
As a tractor guy with three compacts now (26-35hp), a 55 hp skid-steer, and a diesel SxS UTV I can relate to everything Scotty says here regarding the basics of gas/diesel and esp how typical usage can favor one or the other. I'm sure the EU liked diesels for all the right reasons until clean air trumped everything good about them. I also expect that the worst that can happen for us with OR diesels will be high prices to acquire older stuff that's will be 'grandfathered' in our lifetimes. (buzz-word: 'pre-tier')
btw, great video. (again) Share it with friends who'd consider a diesel car or truck. (Watch it again to get every point) Ain't it just like Scotty to give another 1/2 hr class in
My f350 dually turbo diesel, like a beast.
A lot of people might not like the 6.0 powerstroke but I know someone who’s got their 6.0 completely bulletproofed with all the newer replacement parts that ford messed up on and that truck gots 440k miles running strong with no issues, same engine & transmission and has been maintained very well.
Yes , once you bullet proof them they run great . Buy em cheap too .
Great video ! it’s obvious you love what you do!
This was like an episode of Mr Rogers Neighborhood, Except for Big boys toys 😆 LOL
Thanks for the documentary on diesels, Scotty. I don’t think Germany will do away with the diesel after all they were invented there.
Tell that to Greta.
I thought the Diesel engine was devised by the Russians 🤔.
@@Musicreach101 You weren’t listening to Scotty. He said Rudolph Diesel from Germany invented the diesel.
This is the first video i have seen where this gentleman is not yelling. Soothing voice. Remarkable! Good video sir! I have a 2003 diesel pickup and love it!
Was expecting a loud Scotty in this video, but this is new to me 😂 He really had a calm day I guess. It results in a interesting video without laughing horses 😂 But its fine both 👍🏼
I love the sound of my Cummins converting diesel into CO2.
Absolutely love my ‘97 VW Passat TDI! (B4 gen sedan) On average I get 42 mpg not driving conservatively. At best I’ve gotten 53.1 mpg! Lots of fun with the 5 speed manual and gets around great in the snow here in MT. It’s just best if you plug it in during cold temps. And like Scotty said make sure you put in additive.
Love these types of videos 👏👏👏
V8 7.3 and 6.0 International/Navistar Bulletproofed.
Along with V8 6.7 Ford Powerstroke .
7:39 Diesel turbocharged DO have turbolag, specially newer ones when you are in low rpm, due go emissions regulations. It was the old ones who almost didn't.
Exactly 👍🏻
Depends if the diesel has a twin-scroll turbocharger or not. Or if it has twin-turbo. It honestly depends on the engine. The latest generation B47 BMW 2-liter diesel does not have noticeable turbolag at all. I drive one, afaik it has a twinturbo setup (could also be a twinscroll turbo, i am not 100% sure, but i was told it is a twinturbo setup by the boss of the dealer service) and this engine literally has 0 turbolag. None. When you step on it, it goes immediatly even from low rpm:s.
It is a 320d G20 xDrive, european version.
@@Manakuski if you try any 2.0 TDI from newer Audis less than 10 years old you will see about 2 seconds turbo lag when you floor it from say 1500 rpm.
If some of the “stuff” on your diesel happen to fall off!😬 then you will not notice any turbo lag.
@@Joe3D of course. Like i said, depends on the engine.
I like to puff on the Cannabis Cigars and get all schmoked up while watching the Scotty Kilmers videos.
Awesome! Really cool episode.
Fabulous Scotty,,,,thanks sooo much! Great video!
Ummm diesel exhaust wheels like freedom sir.
I used to drive a semi and I really enjoyed this documentary. Great job Scotty!
Worthless in 2 arenas, got it.
@@lastofthebest5102 worthless in what way?
Every year when we went to Eastern Europe we rented the exact same sub compact cars. They were Opels. Great cars. The last time we turned the cars in after filling up the gas tanks, we discovered that one of the little cars was a Diesel ! We had NO idea! It sounded the same, it drove the same as the gasoline cars we'd always rented! How could such a small car, powered by a Diesel be so good?
I've got a 2002 f250 with a 7.3. Truck has 434,000 miles on it currently and it drives like a dream. Love it and I plan on keeping it for a long long time
Its kinda ironic when its tree huggers who will destroy the world.
they wont stop spilling their gender fluid everywhere. bad for the fishies
Most don't hug tress to save the environment. They fain outrage for every "cause" available to gain political power and crush opponents. So, its not really ironic but it is sad.
Please explain how!
Volkswagen pretty much ended the auto diesel love affair..
@@albertthomas7295
No the epa did.
I really enjoyed that Scotty.
Is there any Scotty you dont enjoy?
Very interesting video, Scotty.
Thank you.
Love those videos!
