Scotty Doesn't Know

[dareo]

Ol' Scotty Kilmer spreading nonsense again. This time its about GM transmissions. Of course since its not a Toyota it must be bad.

For anyone who doesn't want to watch that and give him more views i will give a TLDR

"10 speed bad so they went back to 8 speed but i really don't know anything and can't even use websites like GMC.com"

I stopped watching this guy. He's become more loud & obnoxious than usual.

Yes i rarely make the mistake of watching his videos. He's got another gem about how V8 engines are dead. What a loon!

 

[Oildudeny]

His advice and vids never taught me much.. Better knowledge from this forum or Google itself..

He has some good stuff. It's just his delivery that's sometimes off-putting.

I agree with him on the european cars

Am I the only one who started singing in their head when they read the thread title?

But yes, he just says inflammatory things to get a reaction and clicks on his videos.

While we're on the topic of Ford transmissions...anyone have experience with the longevity or common problems with the 4F27E?

Whether real life or YouTube, I'm not very fussy about the people I hang out with. I could probably count people to avoid on two hands. Scotty is one of 'em

Who's Scotty?

I used to enjoy him a little. You have to remember that he is primarily entertainment, but does make some good points. I do get tired of him singing accolades to everything Toyota.

But I have quite watching his channel because of the click bait titles to his videos. So much any longer, I feel I waste time on his channel.

Well, he’s not exactly wrong here...

And there’s already a lemon law against GM’s 8-speed transmission in the Silverado

And I had the 6-speed. That was their “best” transmission for that truck (due to reliability). It was a DISASTER. Go on the forums. These thing break down more often than the 8-speed.

+1, he's annoying most of the time. I wonder if he watches himself to understand how painful he is these days.....

 

[Aichiguy]

Scotty makes 6 figures by waving his arms and being provocative. Seems pretty smart to me. I don't watch him.

 

[SZR48207]

I like that he triggers a lot of the folks here.

But anyway his content is made for teenagers and people who don't know jack about cars. It's neither technical nor specific.. just general opinion stuff.

Who's Scotty?

Cliff Clavin. The expert at the end of the bar

 

[IndyFan]

He's going for click bait titles now. He's become nothing more than entertainment. And I don't find him that entertaining anymore.

Cliff was both more knowledgeable and more pleasant.

The man is too irritating to watch.

Obligatory "Euro Trip" movie reference. Actual "Scotty Doesn't Know" song is by Lustra.
