The Jeep is Being Replaced

The Jeep is Being Replaced

rev up your engines well for you Jeep fans out there it
turns out that Jeep is planning on electrifying every single one of its
Jeep models by 2022 you’ll be able to according to them by regular on the
gasoline engine by hybrid one by a plug-in hybrid one or by a totally
electric one now that’s what they say who knows what’s actually gonna come
down the line that’s two years now who knows fiat-chrysler Kujo the French
company who knows what’s actually gone but to say they’re gonna Electrify them
all of us that’s one of the real popular sellers that they still have the Jeeps
last year worldwide they sold more than 1.5 million of them obviously they’re
gonna push that to the hilt because they’re failing and a lot of their other
things Fiat it’s pretty much saying they’re probably gonna pull the Fiat ran
out of the United States and since the jeeps are selling it only make logical
to make electric ones they got a brand people are buying things and there’s
always gonna be a certain amount of people don’t want a Jeep that say oh
look I got the first electric Jeep and it can be a toy type thing so we’ll see
if it happens by 2022 but that’s what they’re planning
mad man says gonna granny driven 2011 town car be a good daily driver I want a
big body-on-frame crop yeah they’re actually great cob solutions her granny
was driving it you know they are full-frame big giant cars they’re decent
on highway guess miles I guess hogs in town but if you want a big body car
that’s an excellent when they had a Crown Vic and Grand Marquis they’re all known as has granny cars and Grandpa cars anyways and if you want something like
that you good price on one and a granny was driving what the heck it probably
doesn’t have this not beating out of it like if you buy one that would say a
yellow cab or a big uber driver they might have beaten the heck out of it but
it what’s a granny car could be a really good deal it’s a Ford parts that readily
available stole for those things oh you 702 say Scotty I got a 1990
audi ab4 I know in the USA it was sold as audi 4,000 were they reliable cars
here’s the thing you’re obviously somewhere else Europe somewhere not in
the United States the Audi’s here generally turned into
endless money pits back in a day 1990 they were better made than they are
today you’re a more solid cars but Americans don’t really maintain cars all
that well see you high tech European cars you don’t
maintain it they fall apart in front of your very eyes
I know European friends that I have they take better care of their cars in the
average American does so if you’re in Europe yeah I saw it he’s all over the
place in England people like driving mechanics know how to Oregon here know
they’re seeing us luxury cars the mechanics work on to rip people off the
parts cost a fortune and back in the day I had customers Claudia the ones who
really maintained them some of them had over 200 thousand Mazda happy the ones
that were regular Americans and didn’t do that much maintenance they fell apart
and hated and they said we never buy another one with the exception of one of my
customers who bought one he also bought an extended warranty yet like six
thousand dollars of work done and that was back then which is a lot more money
than I had done free because he bought this warranty and nobody’s gonna buy
another when you went to the warranty company and they said no we don’t cover
Audi’s anymore Martin says Scotty I got a 2003 f150 5.4
liter two valve 200,000 miles and when I started I smell gas so i’m getting
horrible gas mine’s like 10 to 12 miles a gallon okay well they are gas hogs but
if you smell gas when you start up when you start a car up the fuel injection
system automatically sends more fuel to the system odds are it’s just running
too rich now you want to make sure it’s not leaking cuz it depends where you
smell it if you open the hood have somebody out start and you smell another
the hood there’s something leak and fix the leak I got a video does your car
smell the gasoline and you can watch that it’ll give you all the tips of what
to check now if the gas smell only comes out to tailpipe then definitely it’s
running too rich and it could be something like one of your fuel
injectors leaking you got two hundred thousand miles it could be that you know
a fuel injector starting to leak and it’s gonna be running worse and getting
worst gas mileage in that case you could pull the spark plugs on if you see one
or two of them are black that means those injectors are bad and spraying too
much gas on if they’re all black then it’s often a bad MAF sensor mass airflow
sensor you could check that out too a lot of times it’s just fuel injectors
being worn out if you smell to come out the tailpipes but if you smell it under
the hood yeah then you got a leak somewhere fine where that leak is cuz
that’s dangerous Brian says what
makes your car knock I lose throttle pushing power in a gas my 1990 Honda and then it knocks lots of things to make a car knock you want to pray it’s
not worn bearing inside the engine that’s rod knock and when they’re worn
you got to rebuild the engine there’s no fix in that when you rev up the engine
it’s now on the other hand so car if the timing is too far advanced or the
engines built up with carbon then it’ll knock a little only when you accelerate
like you go from fifty to sixty they’re not gonna look you could have it’s so
old it’s a ninety you can actually adjust the time and you could retard the
timing maybe it needs a timing belt if it stretches it’s gonna make noises not
work right and lose it so check that it might just need a timing belt and also
on those Honda’s they’re manually adjusted valves on the engine most cars
aren’t anymore but those are have the valves adjusted I’ve seen those things
that’s a 30 year old car and I’ve seen them where no one’s ever adjusted the
valves and all I did was adjust the valves and went back to run and find
something that needs adjust to get all the valves adjusted if nobody ever did
definitely that could be a problem acorn says is a good
place to buy parts yes and no you want to save money they generally have good
prices but the problem is you learn something online
generally dont know where made what it is until it comes you open up the box and see
where is made and see what kind of a part is and you’re sending it away if
you’re fixing a car you drive every day and you got to wait for to go back and
forth and if it’s the wrong one you got to send it back and get another one you
don’t have a car for all that time I personally believe in buying local
because I get a relationship with local car parts they know who I am
we’ll return things immediately I’ll say what do you have
where are they made and they’ll show it to me in the store and I’ll look at it
and say not it’s a Chinese one I don’t want that one let me look at another one
and I can pick and choose when you buy online that doesn’t happen I’m not a fan
of online car parts mine for that reason that I would say 30 40 percent of the
time it was the wrong part or it was a cheap part that didn’t last long locally
there’s a lot of places you can buy parts in most areas and then you know
where the part came from you got a problem you can go back I had a bad
experience with Rock auto one time I bought hub for a customer sir
an older car they sent the wrong one and then they told me I was an idiot and
gave me the wrong information and I said I gave you the right information and I
said I told you it was a five star hub and they sent me a four stop hunt I kind
of stay away from online stuff for that reason they have to cut costs too so
they don’t generally pay their guys that much money to work they’re trying to
return stuff and deal with them I like dealing with people in person for stuff
like that you know it’s fine for buying books and shoes and stuff but you got
one car and if you gotta wait days or even weeks to go back and forth to the
parts a you’re not saving money on time then baby 24 24 says Scotty I got a problem I own an 07 Hyundai Sonata the door handle won’t open for the aughts bibo
comes for the inside okay well you’re outside handle is broken then it’s all
plastic crap the inside handle has a rod that goes on the inside handle that goes
to the back side of your door where the whole assembly is the latch assembly and
that pulls it and opens your door handle uses a different mechanism that pulls
that latch and odds are usually the mechanism itself and the latch is okay but
it’s usually the part on the handle that breaks cuz they’re plastic wrap I got
videos than that replacing the door handle just watch him you have to do it
from the inside you take the door panel out and you reach in there and get a
flashlight roll the window up all the way so there’s working room and you’ll
see probably a piece of broken off people’s piece of plastic broke off and
then you’re gonna have to replace the whole handle assembly and take my advice
usually the dealers won’t weigh too much money you can buy mighty Amazon and on
eBay cheap enough and it worked perfectly fine I’ve seen him where there
were $90 to the dealer and $15 on Amazon so it was nothing wrong with buying it
that way Bart Vulcan 74 says Scotty when I time my 1979 toyota
pickup Hilux why does it seem to idle better when I advanced the timing old
age if you advance my timing I idle better to get me a shot of rum or something that will advance me up a little bit I’m getting old you know
things are getting creaky same thing with a vehicle as they age everything
wears if you advance the time and makes it I know a little better cause firing a
little bit earlier so the fuel gets ignited a little bit earlier it’s not
gonna hurt as long it doesn’t ping bet if you
advance it too much and then when you accelerate especially up ears you hear
the engine rat rat around well that’s not any good then you’d have to retard
it back down see modern cars of course it’s an old dinosaur 79 modern cars the
computer changes the timing all the time automatically it’s all done by computer
so when you’re accelerating it up a hill and stop it’ll retard it a little and if
you’re going on flat level it might advance a little when you’re
accelerating it can do all kinds of tricks but that old thing no you know if
it runs good enough and it doesn’t Klank too bad when you accelerate you can
leave it there but when it clatters going out pillow a lot you still gonna
have to retard it a degree or two you can play with it with the time and like
till you get it a happy medium it’s just like old age old days is a happy medium
you know you know you realize that you’re not gonna be running 100-yard
dash anymore at any breakneck speeds are you
gonna fall apart MODOK says trying to buy a
newer car what do you think about of 2018 Corolla LE is the CVT a real
problem Toyota makes one of the best CVT
transmissions out there with one exception they brought back the Toyota
Matrix only they’re not calling it the Toyota Corolla hatchback originally the
matrix was called the Toyota Corolla matrix then they just called it 2 matrix
and when they started making them they had problems only with those Toyota
Corolla hatchback CVT transmissions stand to recall a bunch of if you’re
looking at one don’t buy the hatchback because of that just get the VIN number
and do this with any used car you buy it anyways get the VIN number going
internet and you can go to the National Highway Traffic and Safety Association
then you type your VIN number in it and it tells you if it’s been recalled in
the problems they have and if it’s got a recall on it don’t buy the car get some
good information nowadays you know everybody’s got on their phone so you
got on your phone you can type it in and write at the car when you’re looking at
it type in a VIN number and if it’s got recalls don’t buy it look for another
one so if you never want to miss another one

  2. I have never heard a complaint about those Ford LTD, Marquis, Town car, Continental. Now the LS model didn't have the same reputation.

  3. Goodbye Scotty leave our country if you don't like American Vehicles people like you are the ones getting ready jobs and making people hate one another just like a Democrat

  4. I would really like to see an electric Jeep traverse the trails in the Borrego badlands in SoCal. I can envision a lot of jeeps going backward down steep hills.

  5. Scotty got a 2002 power stroke Ford 250 with 136k, it’s close to be a collector’s item. Is it worth keeping? I paid $7300 for it in 2011, clean car fax. Been in central NC whole life. No rust…?

  6. Fiat can’t even build a decent internal combustion engine! Now they think thy can build an electric Jeep?!!! Unbelievable

  7. Hey, Scotty I have bought a 2012 Toyota Camry with 120,000. I want to keep the car as long as possible. Should I change the "lifetime" tranny fluid at this mileage? Please help!

  8. Yo! I dislike this Ford are sucker!!! I love ever Jeep make me comfortable I’d love Jeep also you don’t tell me then you gift for me new 2011 to leasts up Jeep Grand Cherokee I need it if you can afford for me smile don’t be judge of Jeep make they want following in my heart about Jeep is so great awesome tires and rim and more features I like that . I don’t want this 2011 Nissan Rogue suv it’s ok I want Jeep!!!!!!!!

  9. Goes to show his Knowledge on Audi. They do offer warranty direct from Audi up to 200,000kms here in Canada. No Toyota offers that.

  10. I've had my 94 town car for over a year with zero problems, great car for $1500.00, and I average 17-18mpg over all which is as good as my sisters Toyota suv.

  11. Rock Auto is awesome! Many products you can read about to decide where it's made. Just because you had one bad experience … Would stop you from shopping anywhere😀

  12. Fiat-Chrysler-Pugeot sold 1.5 million jeeps this year. So there are 1.5 million people in the world that don't watch Scotty's YouTube channel.

    Dr. Emmett Brown: The way I see it, if you're gonna build a time machine into a car, why not do it with some style?😅🚙🤖🚀🏛 🕰

  14. Should be fun when a big rock pierces the Jeep battery. Might be a good business operating a portable charging truck when they run out of juice in the boonies.

  15. Marty McFly: So what does this thing run on…gasoline?
    Dr. Emmett Brown: No! It requires something with a little more kick…plutonium!
    Marty McFly: Wait, Doc, are you telling me…that this sucker is nuclear?
    Dr. Emmett Brown: No, no, no! The plutonium is required to generate the 1.21 jigawatts needed to power the car!

  16. One of the easiest ways to make a hybrid is have the fuel engine drive two wheels and have the other two driven with an electric motor, as this will be much better and reliable than what is available today.

  17. Timing chains, transmission, and various control module replacements are just a few of the "maintenance" items Europeans are good at taking care of on those Audi's. And then there's that great resale value her in the U.S. Smirk.

  18. Hey Scotty I was wondering what’s the best affordable convertible that you would buy or you think that is reliable enough to buy?

  19. Lol people go nuts over jeeps here in Colorado for some reason. They are honestly huge steaming piles of junk just like the FIAT. Maybe someday the rose tinted lenses will fade

  20. I won't buy from Rock Auto ever again. Their customer service is a total joke.

    I paid for two day air shipping with them once and the package got returned to Rock Auto for some reason and they shipped it out again with ground shipping and they couldn't understand why that would matter or why I wanted my shipping refunded.

  21. They 5.4 gas odor often starts with an intake manifold gasket leaking. The computer gets confused and dumps fuel. Check the fuel trim!

  22. What jeep says and what they do are two difrent things it all goes by what is bought but ya that's waht i want is a electric jeep to get stuck in the woods with out power HAHAHA.

  23. Jeep is no Longer

    J – ust
    E – ngine and
    E – ssential
    P – arts

    Now it's

    P – absolute
    O – garbage
    O – that
    O – should
    O – rot
    P – In a dumpster

  24. The cvt with recall is only for 2019 corolla hatchbacks cause that's their new cvt, the 2018 sedan has the old-style cvt

  25. Hey Scotty! Funny that you mention the warranty on the old Audi and how your friend bought a newer Audi and the same warranty company doesn’t cover Audi’s anymore! Lol. Doesn’t surprise me at all, nor do I think you were either. Anyways, when I recently went to buy my new car, I was deciding between a 2017 BMW 528i M-sport with the 2.0T GDI w/ 80k miles for $14k plus purchase an extended warranty OR a 2015 Acura TLX 2.4 w/ 90k miles for $16k plus warranty. Warranty on the Acura was $3,500 for 48/48k bumper to bumper. Same BMW extended warranty was $8,850!!! Just shows how Honda/Acura makes better cars in terms of reliability and value. I’m currently an Acura owner.

    I also wanted to ask this. Is it true that in some parts or all of Europe has a law that all automotive plastics and maybe rubber parts too, had to be made from recycled pieces, thus degrading the supposed durability of it in high heat? I heard this from someone on another channel who specializes in BMW’s.

  26. Well if they're going to be doing this this tells me one thing, that solid-state battery that Elon Musk and John begoodenough have been working on is going to come to fruition. Supposedly it has three times the energy density of a standard lithium. And that's on the conservative side

  27. I ordered a radiator from rock auto it was supposed to be brand new I put it on the car and it sprung a leak that. Not just a a pinhole it was like someone turned on a faucet.

  28. so basically all these vehicle brands and companies are going mechanically/aesthetically transgender to suit current people's minds and fit the propoganda…got it..makes sense.

  29. 79 toyota – is also to age where the vacuum advance diaphragm fails, vacuum hoses rot, advance weights freeze or the advance weight springs rust off

  30. Back in the day the jeeps were good nowadays there garbage therer not built as well now they’re going to get worse!!!!!!!

  31. Hey Scotty – Merry Xmas from Vancouver Island.

     I have a 1993 Sentra 1.6, with 98k miles. Almost 30 years old now – who woulda thought.

    Two questions:
    1. I would like the tranny to kick down a little sooner when it is straining up a hill. There are no apparent vacuum leaks but it does not kick down near soon enough.
    2. This car takes Dextron IIe which I cannot find anywhere and I really, really want to renew some of the tranny fluid before it's too late. What fluid do I use?

    Any advise?

    Love your vids.. 🙂

  32. Grandpa gave me his 2001 town car with 39k miles on it last year, now it’s at 62k, I almost feel bad but it’s the best daily

  33. I would think that an electric jeep would not last long at all because most people that buy them are going off road which I think would drian the battery instantly unless they factor that in and somehow make it work.

  34. They’re not, they will produce what sells. They will introduce new Powertrains.

    They as in (FAC) sell more trucks and Jeeps than ever before and not just by small margins. They make more Powertrain options than before and soon some electrics. So what the issue Scotty. Is it bad for them to expand and hire more Americans and take market share away from other manufacturers such as Toyota, Honda and Nissan.

    Thinking you should stick to maintenance tips because you’re failing at economics.

  35. Hey Scotty, I would like to buy myself a Toyota 4 Runner or a Lexus GX 460 2012 or newer and I probably will have a 2nd vehicle that gets better gas mileage to drive ALSO a few days a week .. I see a lot more 4 runners on the roads than the Lexus GX which is why I’m leaning towards the GX

    Any advice on which one I should get ? Thanks

  36. Wasn’t the Audi 80/90 sold in the US in 1990. I don’t think the 4000 was sold in the US that year. I had a 1982 Audi GT Coupe a long time ago. It was fun, but not reliable. Luckily there was a VW, Audi, Volvo junkyard near my home back then. I spent a lot of time there looking for parts. Oddly, I replaced the door handles several times.

  37. Electric cars aren't selling well in Ontario, right now. The Provincial government dropped the rebate on them. Sales have dropped 55%! Sorry, Greta Thunberg!

  38. The 2019 JL is hybrid but it’s a hybrid that charges itself to get better MPG it wouldn’t be bad if every Jeep got that technology.

  39. I'm an offroader (got a land cruiser) and to be honest I'm pretty excited for an electric Jeep. Don't see the issue here. I would imagine electric vehicles being excellent for offroad due to their higher torque and the ability to control each tyre individually (if each were given its own electric motor, like in the rivian). You can also have a lot of fine grained control if a computer is involve, imagine what that can do with traction.. They just need to figure out the battery capacity problem, there's a good engineeringexplained video that shows that they need to double the capacity of existing batteries to get the same kind of towing performance as today's F150…. but I'm sure with time they'll figure it out.
