I've watched your video's for two years now, but I haven't seen you disconnect the battery before replacing any electrical part. Why?
FYI. I bought a new 1981 Chevy C10 custom deluxe pickup and now have 508,000 miles. Never did any engine repair, same timing chain, just water pumps, radiator, tune ups, alternator....still doesn't burn our use oil. It's a straight 250 six cylinder with 4 speed granny stick shift. Had to replace
that transmission last year. I usually just did clutch and pressure plate every 100k. Would like this to be on your video but don't know how
to make it on your videos!
Congrats on making it to the 500,000 mile club. I am 200,000 miles behind you so I am slacking a little. If you want it to be featured in Scotty’s video I would just email him at scottykilmer@gmail.com with subject “Appointment Clarksville” and hopefully he will look over your car, and film it. No guarantees, as he is a busy man, but worth a shot, but you will have to drive to his house.
@daywalker , may I ask what car did you get to 300,000 miles on? 👀
@Dan Yes, my 2000 Acura Integra GS-R with manual transmission. Still runs great, but looking to replace it either this year or next year. Total cost of ownership has been great on this vehicle.
If you're just changing a bulb or something that you just unplug and plug back in, it isn't necessary.
If you're dealing with exposed terminals (like alternator), or sensitive electronics like computers, then it's a good idea to disconnect battery.
