This battery reconditioning program exceeded my presumptions. It worked on any drill battery, several AA and AAA batteries batery.repair and any camera battery. The steps are simple and the act itself is exciting to do. No matter what type of battery you`ve got, it is sure to function again!

My 1964 rambler automatic transmission had a front and rear pump, the driveshaft drove the rear pump and I could compression start it at 4 or 5 miles an hour it also had an enclosed drive shaft, limited slip and front seats that folded down literally flat with the back seat, so you could sleep in it camping etc... they were one heck of a car!

Thank you for explaining the " why " part of all these little car hacks . I've always known to hit the starter but never knew why ! Thanks

[CB-blsp]

Very good. I appreciate it when he talked about why this is such and how it can be done. I knew some of the tricks on starter and dead battery but was not sure why until today.

Never left one of scotty's videos so fast... good advice 👍

I subscribe to your Channel based just on this one video. I don't know anything about cars, much less anything about how to jump-start a dead one. But, wow, your explanations were so thorough and easy to understand that, should any of my friends end up with a car that won't start, I'll be able to help them out. Thanks so much.

It's good that people try to pass on knowledge. Back when I was a kid, these were things called "stuff Dad told you before you drove for the first time".

[nealanbob]

Great video. You are quite knowledgeable and give simple and clear explanations. Thanks

[ericplumain]

all the basics from my teens days lol, very good video that everyone can agree on and make sens of things, , , thanks

[ashleymartinez]

Thank you! I really appreciate your advice. Especially because you give free advice. I noticed more and more people charging a few to watch their videos that teach you something!

[danlscan]

All good info. I encourage all watching to study the systems he's talking about and try these things before an emergency. Good job!

I used to have alot of electrical problems with my cars, then I stopped buying Fords and the problem went away.

[ronniepirtlejr]

I was thinking about the solenoid on the starter also but if you start hitting the starter that would take care of it.

God damn. Wish i seen this video a few months ago. Had a car that didnt start because of a faulty ignition switch. Got my sub!

Last week I helped one car which having starting problem on roads just cleaning relay and thanked me...I learnt this from your this video like from Hubli Karnataka ✌️

This dude is cool. Nice to see a DIY car repair and maintenance channel actually providing instructions instead of just answering viewer emails. (ChrisFix and ETCG excluded).

One time I had a dead alternator.... I drove the whole way to the shop in reverse, with (thankfully a looonnnngggg) set of cables connected to my boys car... I had no way to tow it and the mechanic didn’t have a tow truck or wanna let me use his jumper box to get there. Well I got it there. 😂 wasn’t a fun time we had maybe a foot at best In between both cars, had to drive the exact same speed and make sure we didn’t crash. Halfway there we actually swapped spots. It was harder to follow then actually drive in reverse because the following car has to keep up to match speeds of the car in reverse and make sure they break in time and time the see there’s slack on the cables.prob shoulda just linked 2 sets of cables to give us more room for play but the only time we lost connection was in the main ave making a left hand turn, thankfully though the shop was right there and my boy was able to roll halfway into the lot lol. Then the shop owner said “if I knew you were gonna go threw all that I would have gave you the jumper box to use” 🤦🏻‍♂️ I asked him 2 times. Told him I’ll give him 200 just to hold till I got back with it and he didn’t wanna let me use it. What else did he expect me to do when he said “if you can get it here in a hour I’ll do it today if you get here after that you’ll have to wait till I was running outta time so it was by any means necessary

Like your simple clean and easy to listen to style.

It's a pleasant thing to listen to when someone not shouting all the time

I usually park my car on a hill. When it doesn't start I just roll it over the hill and pop the clutch. I only ever owned one automatic in my life, and I won't own another.

Good info But I have push started automatics. Just have to start out in neutral then put it in 1st or second gear once your speed gets up to around 6 MPH in first and 10 mph in second. I subscribed. . Good info. TNX
