Scotty Kilmer I wished you lived in the Bahamas. The mechanics here only take your money and piss you off. You're one of the rare gems.
Scotty hi, My name Vernon I from Riverside, RI.I am hard hearing and deaf. U know that I have 2 cars: 1976 Ford Granada Ghia and 1992 Chevrolet Caprice. I wonder have you experience repair my favorite car 1976 Ford Granada ghia before? U know that I really don't like mechanic repair shop do my car like can damage or cost me and can I avoid it right? but can I own my car?
You need to show some more things
Your a smart dude scotty.
I use an old Aluminium pipe from a bicycle for ratchet extension its unbelievable strong i call it "Meinungsverstärker" it means : Opinion Intensifier 🤣
I'm a 24 y/o male who is embarrassed to admit that I don't know as much as I'd like to about cars. My generation needs information like this. Thank goodness for the internet and guys like this who make learning about cars not so daunting. I love his style: he is like the Bill Nye for fixing cars.
Ditto, 21 year old here. Started learning about engines a year ago. I didn't know a driveshaft from a oil pan then. Now I know all the parts, although I don't know how to fix them all LOL
@@AnX8765 , I Agree. Video Games Will 'Keep' You 'Lazy' And 'Unmotivated' . Trust Me, I know From 'Experience.'
Don't worry about it bro you're only 24 and I hate to say your generation of cars are more computerized more than anyting so you have no choice but to take it to somebody to hook it up to a Buck Rogers 25th Century computers are they can tell you what's wrong with it
Same, I'm 21. I didn't know a thing about cars until recently, my uncles would always grill me for how little I know, Scotty's videos are really helping me figure out what first car I should get, and I'm even considering going for a mechanics apprenticeship now.
@@elfoxy1997 Do it!!
Finally a REAL honest down to earth mechanic. Looks out for the common man.
People like Scotty are a real aide to those who wish to be independent he provides his specialized skill and gives his 40+ years of knowledge to the masses empowering anyone who follows the instructions. His information is nuanced and comes with the years of experience, thank you Scotty. You are also a 101 vet by the looks of this and the airborne eagle sticker on another vehicle he featured. My partner, who would owe you thousands for your help, father is a retired 82nd airborne vet. He still has his father's book from Jump School!! Scotty was your MOS anything repair or maintenance/engineering related?
this man is a very hard working man
Your videos are growing on me!
A few extras:
1. Good oil filter wrench (buy the socket style for your car unless you are a professional)
2. Hammer/shot hammer/mallet
3. Needle nose
4. Basic volt meter
5. Shop light
6. Combo wrenches
7. Socket swivel!
MrRexQuando Dude U R Not Kilmer!
Not bad, though I personally feel a basic impact wrench and impact sockets should be on this list. In my opinion you're always gonna have a better seal and lock up with an impact
im 22 and all the men in my family know about cars and other trades like electrical, and my mom taught herself about basic repair stuff, but no one bothered to teach me any of it. thank you for your videos it's stuff everyone should know and i bet it helps a lot of peoples education/jobs
Scotty Kilmer for president!
Bub Patterson I would vote for him. God knows that we need common sense, not some damned politician. And, in my opinion, both of the major parties have been corrupted and are controlled by the same people. Our country has become an oligarchy. And it has been an oligarchy for decades.
Apparently any "Old Douche Bag" can be president now days. 😒
More ideas than Trump.
he will fix many things 😂
I concur...!!
Scotty, I like your style. Subscribed!
Wranglerstar you might even like chrisfix
Wranglerstar 100th like
The electric impact wrench from harbor freight is 49.99 new, although there is always a 20% coupon so you can really get it for 39.99 new.
It has served me well over the past two years. it is heavier than an airpowered impact wrench, but it gets the job done.
On some jobs you really need to use it, on most jobs its worth the investment to have it. it takes so much work out of things
That listening for issues through a big screwdriver is an old school technique. My father showed me that trick 40 years ago. You don't need a specialized auto stethoscope, the screw driver really works for finding the source of all types of odd noises. Thanks Scotty, love the videos.
my auto shop teacher would bust our asses about neat tool boxes. then theres scotty's tool box...
As the saying goes, if you can, do, if you can't, teach. And if you can't teach, teach teachers. I believe in that. A clean tool box is a sign of a messy mind afraid of the real world and creating a fantasy land. A messy tool box is a sign of a master who just knows where things are and goes with the flow.
Scotty Kilmer well considering we build the fastest dragster out of any school in california and rebuilt and sold cars to get some of the money im pretty sure he would also be considered a master mechanic, he just ran his own shop for 12 years and likes to have it all right where he needs it
BigNastyreborn 12 years, he's just a piker. And I have my tools where I need em, but only I know where. And really, that's all that counts when you run your own shop like I do. all by myself.
Scotty Kilmer oh I have no doubt you know your tools, only a dope would second guess that. i just figured thats how most master mechanics work. but i guess i was wrong.
Scotty Kilmer Also thanks for the reply. Allot of people dont take time from their personal life to communicate with the viewers, I really do appreciate it. Even though my comments were a bit asinine.
I absolutely love this series of videos - keep it up!
Scotty you forgot one of the most basic tools!!!
A PDF of your car's factory service manual! :D
find me a pdf for a 2013 chevy impala please
@@Mohagrus why don't you find it yourself
@@hasoonnine , Is 'Laziness' The Reason ?
@@tez_foe4382 all it needs is a Google search
@@Mohagrus just look up your car model and put car manual at the end of it
I bought a Metrinch set years ago and it's my go to kit. Fits both metric and SAE and I can use it for 90% of my needs.
Those old long pipes do come in handy!!
I thought only us mexicans used em for cars, i was wrong
I am turning into one big tool junkie myself. A nice pry bar set with different lengths can come in handy. I've used the OTC scan tool and love it!
I needed to get a cheater bar... So I looked in my backyard, had a 100 year old bicycle tire hand pump. Couldn't get it apart because it was so rusted from being outside. I needed the steel pipe to separate from the "ends." So I got out the LIQUID WRENCH...Sprayed both ends. All metal/steel parts. Finally, with some love taps with a hammer and the wrenches or channel locks it started to spin loose. Now I have a good solid pipe I can use as a leverage/ cheater bar/ breaker bar. Liquid Wrench works! Thanks for all your tips Scotty! 😇
I feel like a good set of vice grips is also an essential tool for working on cars
Brilliant money saver. No need for breaker bar though that works too. Stuck frozen rusted lug nuts is an easy fix with a long hollow metal pole snugly attached to your lug nut wrench. Turn attached pole ( remember lefty loosey righty tighty) and off comes the lug nuts. Leverage is the best when it doesn't cost an arm and a leg.
your a legend mate, great videos. love the bit about codes
Lol! I love it! I buy tools I don't need as well! I'm also a Machinist of 15yrs, so interestingly enough I have made some of my own pullers on a bridgeport! My cv joint puller is home made, and I case hardened it in my back yard. Used it for 3 different cars already! I love collecting tools!
We need to get this guy to a million subs
Scotty, I got to say that I don't know anything at all about fixing cars or doing car maint. The only thing that I can do is check oil and other fluids. I just want to say that I really enjoy watching you're videos. After spending all of my money to mechanics that didn't even fix it, I've decided that in this time of my life, I need to learn to work on cars. There just is no other option. Anyway, thanks for making great videos. They make me feel comfortable, and I understand them.
great advice as always!
Mr Kilmer thanks for being fast, to the point and fun on your videos - I really appreciate your style and sense - no time wasted.

If anyone is going to use the cheap car jack pumps, make sure your putting jack stands before you go under the car, they are very unstable the more times you use them. I would have been killed if I was under my car when it popped out of place.
Also, if you have a strong power driver/drill you can usually rig it to the car jack that comes with the vehicle & raise/lower the car with the push of a button. I just twist the bit changer to its widest point, put the flat end of my car jack bar in it, tighten it good & away it goes, in about 10 seconds jack is fully extended & 10 seconds to collapse it.
Lastly, I cant speak for all autozone's but the one I use will let you use their OBD scanner if one of your warning lights pop on & if they are familiar with the error, they will explain to you what it means & how to fix it. So if you know you are not going to use one on a regular basis, check out your local autozone stores & see if they will let you use theirs for free & save your money.
xinecal law That is very good to know. I have also heard that Auto Zone will loan you specialty tools.
LK Campbell Correct torque wrenches, gear pullers & a bunch of other tools that you may only need to use once or twice throughout the lifespan of your ownership of that vehicle can be borrowed. You do have to give them a deposit for the tool, which you get back once you return the tool in a functional state.
You remind me so much of my dad, retool and harbor freight were basically his mall but he has passed away and now I'm trying to figure all this out because I have all of his tools and keeping them.
Great vids! Fun to watch and informative
DESCRIPTION
The Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor is located within the distributor. The operation of the CMP sensor is very similar to the Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor. The CMP sensor will provide one pulse per camshaft revolution (1x signal). This signal will not affect the driveability of the vehicle. The VCM utilizes this signal in conjunction with the crankshaft position in order to determine which cylinder(s) are misfiring.

"I go out and buy tools because they look cool."- Scotty
I TOTALLY RELATED!!! Thank you!!
great report . we need some video about your tools box . what inside your tools box ??
and thank you
I really like this guy. I do automatic pool covers for a living so my job is a quirky mix of different trades but mostly auto mechanic type tools and methods. keep it up scotty I really enjoy these videos
Hey scotty could you make a video for ratchet and socket wrench?
Scotty kilmer..like the way you break down things.nice and simple..thanks for your videos..very helpful. I bought me that giant red screwdriver ha..nice listener too
Long spark plug sockets are important.
spyralspyder and magnets on sticks.
Spyralspyder you can always tell if someone’s experienced working in cars via if they have a magnet on a stick/rope or not.
Also, 1/2 " drive socket set for working on brakes and some engine work.
Thanks, Scotty, I was just thinking about what I may need to buy to start doing all of this. Great timing
Thanks again.
Thanks for being a good teacher scotty
Vice grips are my must have lol

I watched some of your videos tonight and can see that you give a lot of good advice. I have seen you recommend in some of your videos, including this one, that people buy a scan tool. A scan tool is a great tool to have, but unless a person works on cars on a regular basis, it might be more economical for an individual just to take their car to Auto Zone, Advance Auto, or other such parts stores and have them pull the engine codes for them. Most all auto parts stores will do that for free. If a person needs to take a scanner home to check another vehicle, most parts stores will rent them out through a loan-a-tool program. It's a great way to get the tools you need, especially specialty tools, without having to invest a lot of money for tools that you may only use once every few years. Like you, I am a tool fanatic and have a good sized assortment of tools, but I don't buy specialty tools that I can get from one of the loan-a-tool programs. It saves a ton of money. Will be watching more of your videos as time permits. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Scotty said "I'm a tool fool, that goes out and buy tools cuz they look cool" lol that was hilarious. Funnier is that I buy tools because they look cool also.
Tools "R" Us
Your videos are very helpful. Thank you.
I think it would be awesome Scotty, if you made your own personal list of things you would buy from Amazon.com | then we all wouldn't have to guess what to get plus you can make a tiny commission when someone purchases. WIN WIN :) Keep up the great work sir!
You would basically just create a wishlist, make the link public, and share in the description of your videos :)
Scotty Kilmer Amazon has a whole "Amazon Associates" system set up for referrals. You'd make a killing and I know you wouldn't recommend trash. Which is helpful because there's so many charlatans out there selling crap products to unsuspecting neophytes!
You're the Man Scotty.
I learned more from scotty kilmer than from my automotive teacher that I've had for 4 years
Thank you once again for a _GREAT_ video Scotty!!!
Hey Scotty I've used obdii scanners that work on phones thru bluetooth and have had no issues. Been using them for a few years now on 3 separate cars. Not sure how they can damage a car when its a read only application.
Can you explain what kind of damages you witnessed?
+Manila Kid I've seen ones with bad interfaces short out the car's main computer
+Scotty Kilmer For me it seems that the problem with the bluetooth OBD-II scanners isn't the scanners themselves, it's finding a decent app to work with them! I've tried apps on Android, iOS, Windows and OS X and they all give conflicting information. They're great for live data readings, but they seem pretty useless for getting error codes or diagnosing issues that can't be found from live data readings.
+Aaron Traynor I suggest you contact the app developer. I did this and the app developer was really helpful in any of my questions and even recommended a blue tooth device that has worked perfect for me. I've diagnosed problems and fixed them with both the app and bluetooth device.
+Manila Kid I use the Torque app which is pretty good. Ive used it with 5 or 6 cars with no problems.
The ELM327 Bluetooth odbII adapter wipes out my 2004 4runner's zero point calibration causing lights on the dash. Resetting is not difficult but still another step.
Im about to change the on my grand prix. All im using is my suv jack from home depot, 1/2 in socket and deep socket sets, wd-40, and a 8 inch galvanized pipe for leverage. Basic tools are the way to go!!
Torque Wrench!!
Dont be a fool, dont ruin the threads on your bolts and risk losing something on the road.
Always tighten everything according to spec, check your manual!
yes! especially with the lug nuts on the wheels
@@paulbaguilarable spark plugs
Got to love the large pipe for a cheater bar! I've got a six foot one from Home Depot, I don't use it often but invaluable for the Lexus crank pulley where the impact doesn't fit. Great tip!
hey scotty, you really should endorse those bluetooth OBD2 port readers. you can get them for $15 on ebay and they interface with basically any modern smartphone.
get the app called Torque for android, and it has a full scan tool suite built right in!
so you get a really good scan tool for only the cost of the bluetooth scanner, since you already have your phone!
oh heh, didnt watch long enough to see you mention them.
ive personally never heard of them damaging cars and i dont even know how that's possible. they have no onboard power source to do any damage.
were people using them for coding or something?
in fact, i'm seeing no evidence of them causing damage from my googling. lots suspect they cause battery drain but only a few do in very rare cases
Ryukachoo
IF they are poorly made, simply hooking up the wireless unit into the dash can short em out, and I've seen that with chinese made ones.
Scotty Kilmer I love your channel Scotty and this is good to know. I have never heard of this problem. I do know that I bought a used ELM327 from Amazon with good reviews for about $9 after shipping and bought the $5 torque app. It does everything that I need it to do. I did have a cheap scan tool I bought from Autozone but it doesn't even come close to what the Torque app can do. I think my point is find a brand of bluetooth ELM327 with good reviews at a decent price and it will be safe to use and much more versatile than the scanners from one of the big box stores (unless you are willing to drop some serious cash).
Loren Tholcke
That's what I use. No problems so far.
Loren Tholcke I believe that if you are going to buy something "cheap" make sure that the item has reviews from fellow purchasers (Like Amazon)... People are quick to speak out if they are wronged and you can base your purchase off of that...
The most funny, genuine, genius and definitely goofy mechanic RUclipsr.
But in another video you recommend Bluetooth scanner that works with your phone, what's up with that?
darksider63 scotty shillmer
darksider63 Sharp I Like It!
What Year Was That Video Posted ?
In that video he states the one he uses is $99. You think Scotty is gonna wanna make things harder on himself? Think again
This video was a few years ago and since then the blue tooth scanners have become a bit more advanced
Mr. Scotty you are the best and thank you sir…. 💪💪💪
I once got the idea to use a 4 foot cheater bar on a car that I couldn't fix. It cost me a windshield, a side view mirror, two headlights and a hood.
I don't think I was using it correctly though. Shoulda used it the way Scotty did. Dammit.
Anger management classes bro
It's what u need
I refuse to use happy face emoticons and internet acronyms to show that I'm kidding.
Maybe that's the problem.

Hey Scotty I was a mechanic from 1964 to 1990, I had all the tools I needed until the metric system came to the USA. then I started all over again buying Metric tools now I have probably 3 of everything, I think I'll go into the used tools business 😆😆.
I always have to buy new tools because my tools hide from me when I need them.
lol yours do that too
Great tips, Scotty! I would add a few: A good, portable light (also, a set of those that strap to your forehead is incredible useful for tight spots and when working at night); and mechanics gloves. Also, one gadget I bought years ago but has saved me countless times is a magnet that's mounted on an extendable wand. I can't tell you how many times I dropped a screw or bolt inside the engine and that thing got it right out....phew!
That's not a cheater bar, that's a breaker bar. The piece of pipe is the cheater bar.
where I come from, it's called a cheater bar as it cheats to give you more power.
Martin Espinoza the breaker bar is called a "bodgey bar" and the big pipe is a snipe here.
Martin Espinoza Go head on champ.
Breaker bars are great at shearing bolts! They can turn a quick job into a nightmare. Enough times I've regretted I didn't go for penetrating oil, heat, impact gun etc. In the first place.
Thanks! Just picked up a 1997 Tahoe (the 2 door version) and I wanna work on it and I actually found these tools out in my garage so I didn't even have to go out and buy them
3:28 the stupidest door chime ever made

I never knew that the bluetooth scanners can damage cars.
ANY cheaply made electronic device can do serious damage, and most of those are made in China at very low cost.
the circuits are poorly made like not having a resistor where one is needed then too much voltage hits your system and frys something.
Scotty Kilmer your talking about this right www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0076KBPNI/ref=oh_details_o08_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and if so what kind of damage have you seen them do? seeing as I use it all the time...
***** I have that exact one. Seems to work good to me.
***** I have that exact one too - use it with the Torque app on my Android tablet and seems to work fine, although I did have to reroute a circuit trace for it to work with Fords because there was an error on the circuit board layout from the Chinese factory that produced it. I described the fix in the Torque forum.
Cool, I think I'll get a low profile jack and scan tool to make things easier. Thanks for the advice.
Thank you for all your efforts making these detailed videos! Bought a 93 Runner and your vids really help me do the maintenance on it.

Well, thank you for the education, I changed out a Mass Air Flow sensor today! I was having some problems and a Local shop that did some work for me, used there computer to fig out the problem, get this they billed me nothing, and told me save your self some money go over to NAPA and get a sensor and do it yourself! I did, for a screw driver, my Leatherman had the right size, and I just borrowed a Socket and ratchet! The Whole thing took 15 min! I will be doing the PCV I think soon, I have to look at the records to see when it was last replaced!
I like the way how Scotty is an honest man, that even with cheap tools you can make a good repair on car.
4,000th like. Also your content is great stuff, Scotty. Short, snappy, no-nonsense, down to earth, concise approach to topics!
You are so right Scotty! Great list of tools and some great advice. You are right about those cheap little bluetooth code scanners too. They are not reliable at all. You can still go cheap, but always go wired. Those wireless ones are junk and when you think about the miles of wire and electrical components in a vehicle, it is not hard to see why you get interference with such devices. Hell, when I fixed computers in a shop long ago, we were wired back then (no wireless at all) and had huge issues with one side of the shop, in the back corner and our electrical stuff just acted weird back there. Turns out, because we were in a mall and behind a movie theater, that all the electrical for the theater, ran behind that particular wall and corner. So I understand electrical interference problems all too well. Hehehehe.
Harbor freight is every garage mechanic, do it yourselfer’s best friend!
Harbor freight tools are getting much better and heck they have just about everything for car repair including the AC gauges and vacuum pump and some nice low profile jacks.
I love you Scotty ! You are indeed good and entertaining .
I've been using a tiny ac delco jack and a solid chunk of rail road tie for years. haven't got crushed yet. But I always put a jack stand under it for safety :)
You are in the wrong field Scotty! I mean you should've been an actor! Great show my friend: some people in Hollywood would envy you for your performance skills! Besides, you give very good examples of what are the consequences from bad maintenance and fixes. Great videos Scotty (all of them), keep them coming!!!
If there were a cooking show with him as the head chef i would watch it all day, his voice never gets old.
Really liking the channel Scotty! Just got my first Jeep XJ and learning how to work on it. I’m a girl named Bug and I’m recording my adventures in building my Jeep.
Another tool that i can't work without and it substitutes the air impact gun is an 18V battery powered impact gun, no compressor, less noise and weight. And its portable so you can keep it in the trunk of your car.
I used the half handle from a harbor freight 3 ton jack as a cheater bar today to unbolt a super tight front differential drain plug, just so you know Scotty you don't need to go out and get a cheater bar if you have a harbor freight jack stand. Just use the second iron pipe or handle
I looked 3 times and although you reference your air-compressor it is not visible.
Seriously I will help you clean the garage!
Glad to hear you are not a tool snob! I have taken so much crap over the years about buying some seldom used tools at Harbor and others from the Snap-On snobs.
One of my most useful tool for all my car fixing adventures was my wee inertia trim prise bar.
You are the man, one of the best youtubers ive ever watched!!!!
Love my breaker bars, nice tip with the pipe
Great vid! Interesting about the code readers and very reasonable. One thing I would add to the list is a repair/service manual.
Thanks for the tip on the Bluetooth scanner.
Another awesome video by Papa Scotty!
in my limited experience ratcheting flex-head wrenches are awesome...different length extensions for sockets can be lifesavers
subscribed instantly. Your enthusiasm keeps me watching and interesting! Thanks for the help!
This is the best channel ever thanks for making videos!
Scotty harbor freight has a scan tool with abs.for $129..I wonder if it's good enough...thanks for all the well done videos...never any fluff just good information
that's as cheap as I've ever seen, heck, try one , and if it doesn't work on your car, get your money back they have a very liberal return policy there
+Scotty Kilmer oh are you saying ones with abs.feature are usually over 150?thanks
im glad you posted this ive been out in arnold for three years one car after another problems got a van guy said nothing wrong with it drove fine got home few months later major problems dont know down grade after another tools are expensive here and so is advise too get it fixed like you were saying i would still have my other car but the advice and repairs caused it too die on the high way for good and i still owe a bill too them

Is funny see your video 6 years ago.. You are an amazing guy.
If you want my opinion, I'd say look for a set of impact sockets. They are more sturdy and meant to take ridiculous forces making it basically impossible to shatter. While regular ones work great on rachets, they will shatter on impact wrenches and I'm pretty sure even a really big breaker bar might be able to break a socket if you're having to put a lot of torque on something but it's more likely you'll break one on an impact wrench so that's why I recommend have an impact set anyhow so you don't worry about breaking them.
I didn't want this video to end. I just wanted to see more and more of scotty's tools 😂
