GM’s CEO Just Said, “Screw Electric Cars, We’re Building This Instead”
Graev up your engines well GM’s jumping in the hydrogen fuel cell vehicle they’re developing a fleet of hydrogen powered medium duty trucks for a department of energy pilot project but you know the government’s funding this stuff as GM said in I quote we will design engineer and develop a fleet of hydrogen fuel
Cell medium duty trucks to demonstrate how the capability and strength of our fuel cells can help real world Fleet customers so they’re making these trucks that are going to be hydrogen fuel they’ll have hydrogen and then that goes in a fuel cell and it turns into electricity and drives around the only
Thing comes out as a little heat and a little water vapor Now 26 million bucks for this project is coming from the Department of energy our taxpayer dollars as per usual GM jumps in a little late Toyota had their hydrogen fuel marage a long time ago right now
GM’s trying to jump them with big trucks to see if they can make them and then they would have hydrogen fueled trucks now this is one reason that I do have to say it’s a smart idea because if you’re going to do it with large trucks that means it’s commercial and if it’s
Commercial the commercial areas they can have a hydrogen fuel station at their warehouse or at wherever their office is so they can always fill them up they got a reasonable range too so normally I’d say battery electric giant trucks okay that’s a joke they’re too heavy they’re
Too big they they won’t go far enough but these aren’t battery powered electric trucks they’re hydrogen fuel cells and Toyota’s proven with a Mari that can work really well the only problem is you need a hydrogen infrastructure Why not start with the Department of energy where they can have
Their little areas where they have the hydrogen and they’ll know how far they have to go and they’ll know okay there’s a hydrogen fueler there they fuel fast cuz it’s just like putting gas and only you’re putting hydrogen in and just squirt it in it doesn’t take that much
Longer than filling up diesel or gasoline so finally they came up with something that hey let’s do something that kind of makes sense make big trucks that can go a long distance without giant batteries and run them on hydrogen with fuel cells GM starting us up we’ll
See what happens will they ever make a bunch of big ones maybe they will it’s not that hard to create a hydrogen infrastructure for commercial vehicles where they know they’re going from here they’re going to there you can put hydrogen stations where they need to be
This not like you have to build three million of them like you would for electric battery plug-in cars if Americans Roy driving it’s been estimated you need about 3 million charging stations at a minimum in order to keep it going this you wouldn’t because it’s just commercial and it’s
Star not small so the department of energy guys would know okay we got a refueler here we got a refueler there and I don’t have to worry about stranding without any hydrogen not a bad start well now chevron’s getting into the hydrogen business Chevron just announced a 5 megawatt
Either Drive electric vehicles around not have that big old batters in them so hey they’re working on it we’ll see what happens in the future he has hydrogen in the future Toyota’s B on a little and now shov on this somewhat too oil connoisseur said can I leave my Mercedes
Overfilled with an extra quart of oil until the next oil change my friend has a 2007 Mercedes GLK 350 had an oil change done it was supposed to be 7 and 1/2 quarts and the book said it was 8 and 1/2 quarts but the book was wrong
The car runs F should I leave it or should I get rid of the excess immediately okay get rid of it drain it out what happens when you have too much oil is you can blow the seals on the engine and you might think oh it’s just
A seal yeah price putting a rear main oil seal on a Mercedes and you’ll crap if you have weight too much oil there won’t be enough space for the Pistons to go up down the Pistons will have too much oil and the Piston rods and stuff
Can bend so you definitely want to drain it out now say it’s running okay so it hasn’t damaged anything yet and you only had a cord if if you had had four or five quarts you probably would have destroyed the engine driving it but it’s
Still too much oil and it can end up blowing the oil seals so suck that out and put the right amount in next time because if you overfill it you’re going to have problems blowing seals way too much three or four quarts you can bend things inside the engine always check
What you want to do is anytime you do an oil change when you’re done Park on a level surface so it’s not at an angle either front back or sideways right flat let it sit it for 5 minutes then check the oil with a dipstick and it should be
At the top Dot and if it’s over you want to take some out and then write down how much oil goes in it exactly so you know the next time you’ll do it correctly right George MV says I got a Nissan hybrid and it has code p603 car’s running okay the Hybrid
Battery sounds a little different sometimes it doesn’t feel smooth please help okay well that code is generally talking about low battery power from either a weak battery or bad connections on the battery or the wiring harness this is one reason I tell people you buy a hybrid car you’re going to expect some
Really expensive repairs right this is on a seven-year-old hybrid Nissan so it’s getting older seven years old right what you got to check is first thing you want to do that’s a hybrid car okay it’s got the Hybrid battery but it also has a regular battery first test the regular
Battery it’s got a 12vt battery if that’s bad it can do all of that cuz people don’t understand that the little battery is what starts them up then it goes to the big battery cuz if you had the big battery hooked up to the car
When you touch the body of the car you’d be electrocuted 200 400 volts would kill you so those batteries for the hybrid is all isolated all those wires you see they’re orange they’re coated those are special wires that have isolation grounds in them because they can’t be
Like a 12vt battery where the battery wiring is all 12 volts and the body of the car is all negative – 12 volts if the body of your car was all -200 volts you’d be electrocuted when you touched it so your little 12vt battery just need
That now if it’s not that you’re going to have to have a pro like me test the Hybrid battery it might be going out we can tell that with our special equipment right we can tell if the hybrid’s going out and if it’s not that then the entire
Wiring system of the hybrid high voltage going to have to be taken apart and tested you unplug it and place it look and if there’s green corrosion the corrosion is created cuz it could be a wiring problem too it’s these hybrid cars are extremely complex when they
Break down pray it’s just your battery now say if that was a Toyota Prius I can just about guarantee you with that coat all it this is a bad 12vt battery being a Nissan all bats are off could be anything but do test the 12vt battery
And pray it’s just that Super Crew bear says I have problems with my tire pressure monitoring system my 06 Mazda 3 a new 18 years ago I bought tires and I decided I’m going to swap out the sensors I brought my own sensors which I bought from Rock Auto and it just won’t
Work they try to program it it won’t work help numeral Uno I would never buy tire pressure monitoring sensors at Rock Auto I would not buy aftermarket TPMS sensors Those sensors are so sensitive to the software and realize it’s a wireless device each sensor wirelessly sends information to the module in the
Car to tell you what the tire pressure is of each wheel you can’t use aftermarket crap with that you really have to buy the OEM if you ask any honest mechanic who knows his stuff he’s going to tell you when you get critical electronic parts like those sensors you
Have to go OEM half of the stuff’s made in China aftermarket it’s crap it won’t work or it’ll break down soon after you put it in I’ve had so many people bring me cars in the last 20 30 years when Chinese part started to take over that
They tried to fix their car they put the correct part on but they bought a Chinese part and it didn’t work right and I said you know you guessed right you found out was wrong but the part you bought piece of crap I would go buy an
Oem sensor to fix the whole problem so always do that don’t try some rock auto sensor made God knows where you have to go OEM on a lot of these sensors if you want them to work correctly well if you’ve been listening to me for any like
Of time you know I say don’t buy a Korean cars Kia gundai not fan well there’s lots of reasons but here’s another one Andrea from Pennsylvania tells me my sister and her husband were denied Auto Insurance on their 2020 Kia sported State Farm said Kia and yundai
Are stolen too much in Pittsburgh the thief’s hooked into an OBD port and start the car and goodbye yeah well I guess their insurance company State Farm in Pittsburgh saying we’re not going to insure those things they’re stolen all the time they have a right it’s a business right it’s a private business
And if they see these things are stolen all the time they have a right to say no we don’t insure just like if you’re living say in the Florida Keys and you’re 6 in above sea level a lot of places won’t give you flood insurance hey why would they sell
You flood insurance when you’re an inch from flooding and you’re in a Barrier Island you can’t blame the insurance companies right and in this case they’re saying we’re not going to Ure these things because they’re stolen all the time yet another reason not to buy a yundai or a
Kia so if you never want to miss another one of my new car repair videos remember to ring that Bell
