| Answer to: Should I keep my rusting Sierra or buy a newer truck | 21Relevance | 4 years ago | yaser | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| I would fix the rust and keep driving it. You took care of the truck and apparently, you don't have any issues besides the mentioned rust. Better the Devil you know than the Devil you don't. | |||||

| Your talking about wanting SUVs and all wheel drive and then say you're looking at sedans... And look if you want 4 wheel drive and an SUV you're not going to get great gas mileage no matter what you buy the smallest car I own is a tiny 2 door and it gets 30MPG max. Ontop of that prices for used vehicles are through the roof and have been for a while. If you do anything don't buy a Malibu or Impala those cars are total junk. To be honest if your Rodeo is fine and your biggest is gas mileage then its the Devil you know vs the Devil you don't. Sounds like you'd best with a civic hatchback or something but figure out what you want first and I would drive your 99 till the wheels fall off if its still running good and that could be your "snow SUV". | |||||

| If there is no serious issue with the car, just keep driving it. Besides the market situation, every used car has its own issues. Better the Devil you know than the Devil you don't know. | |||||

| Answer to: Want your opinion on purchasing a 2015 Buick Enclave | 21Relevance | 5 years ago | Kerem | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| If it were me, though the deal is tempting, I would keep the Forester. If Scotty answers this question, he would most likely say "better the Devil you do know than the Devil you don't." Though the miles are old, it is still 6 7 years old. If you really like it I guess it could be ok for a while the depreciation certainly has been taking place under your father's ownership. Just don't expect more than 100k miles out of it. Your Forester is AWD and 4 cylinder pretty good system and its engine got replaced and you know the maintenance so that would be the plus to keep it a bit more. It also depends on how much you would get if you sell it. | |||||

| Well if you can get decent money for your pilot you could sell it but if it works okay and you're not going to get much you might as well as deal with the Devil you know versus the Devil you don't. | |||||

| Answer to: What oscilliscope should I buy | 21Relevance | 5 years ago | AutoElectrical | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| If you don't want to go broke buying one, I use regular electronics oscilloscopes. I have three of them. One is a color handheld digital, one is an older LG with a 5 inch CRT in it. Dual trace 100 mhz, and the other is a hand held Fluke Scope meter. I use the fluke to ferret out problems with bad alternators. Since alternators are three phase and have a 6 diode rectifier, the ripples on top the power in a car are very slight, but when there is a pulse on the DC and there are two spaces, its trouble in paradise. Two of the phases are out meaning a bad diode or bad alternator. Something a meter or tester won't spot and sometimes there is no warning light till its completely dead. None of them are mechanics oscilloscopes. They are real engineering/electronics scopes that are very good and ferreting out BS in cars or anything else for that matter. I use them for bench work but I have used them to figure out forkery in cars that are Devil possessed and old nissans ( which are owned by idiots like me and are Devil possessed because the engineers have crazy ideas and put pins and needles in stuffed toy cars and trucks LOL) Suffice to say that a good scope will help you find out your problems. Take a good look at ExTech Fluke Agilent AllSun and many others. I was looking on ebay and there are lots of nice ones out there. Depends on what you are looking for in your car. | |||||
| Answer to: Which car should i buy? | 21Relevance | 5 years ago | Jacksonishere | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| You can't really go wrong with Toyota or Honda with very limited exceptions. Your problem is the Devil you know vs the Devil you don't and Scotty's talked about this a lot. Buying a car at all is risky you don't know what kind of problems you jumping into even if the car runs good and seems fine. Your car barely has any miles on it! Why are you trying to get something new when you have something new...? Drive the car you have a while at least until you get your money's worth at 300,000 km. Most Toyotas and Honda that have been well maintained will go 500k km and MORE before need any major repairs. Your a 60k Your car is brand new still. Another thing to consider is your time. Do you really want to spend the time it takes to search for a new car and sell your and all that shit when yours is still brand new practically. | |||||

| Answer to: 2018 CrossTrek - Blue Smoke (Dumbfounded) | 20Relevance | 11 months ago | Chuck Tobias | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| There are only so many ways that oil can get into the combustion chamber. It's possible the car wasn't maintained properly, causing excessive wear. Is there any sludge in the engine? Under what conditions do you see Blue smoke? At startup? At idle? When accelerating? When decelerating? If your oil level isn't dropping after 1300 miles there's not a huge amount of oil burning going on. (Did you check the oil consumption yourself or did you just take the dealer's word for it?) That would just be a bandaid that would not actually fix anything and might n ... | |||||

| Answer to: 5.7 Hemi V8 puff of blue smoke out of tailpipe on cold start | 20Relevance | 2 years ago | Glen_stet | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| White smoke on startup is condensation, so Blue is most likely oil. When your catalytic converter heats up, it burns the oil, so there's no Blue smoke then. Are you using oil between oil changes? Fortunately, there's a pretty cheap and easy test to see the condition of your rings and pistons - do a compression check dry, then put in an ounce of oil and do the compression test then. If there is substantial difference, you have worn rings. Here's Scotty demonstrating it | |||||
