Have you seen that Jerk scotty from Tennessee that throws his hands all around when talking? He is telling everyone not to buy a Ram truck they are junk. And will soon be out of business. Look this clown up on face book.

Sounds like it. Kilmer = wet toilet paper in my opinion. Useless.

take it all with a grain of salt. at 6.3M subs you need content. being involved in media myself i know why he does what he does. some stuff he does is informitive, but his voice, how he yells when he talks ect is annoying enough i dont want to watch his stuff.
his main point on ram however is mainly how they block diagnostics behind a paywall. which he has a point.

Like @oledirteh said, take all with a grain of salt. I find Scotty entertaining, he is kinda talking to the "unwashed". He is sometimes entertaining and he gets it right a lot more of the time than PPL think, but his delivery sometimes like chalk on a blackboard.
And yes, with the way "Stellantis" is being run, it does beg to differ, I wonder if RAM will be around in *** amount of years, the way the European side, IMHO, has no idea how to run the company this side of the Atlantic, IMHO.

Kilmer has a video that tells you it's a waste of time to rotate tires. I'd say it's a waste of time to watch him...But people do.

I watch to be amused, sometimes, and I rotate my tires every 5,000 miles. Kinda weird tho: Remember the old X pattern to rotate, now we just got the front to back rotation. I have no clue why the X pattern ended, must be how tires are made these days, or maybe I am just Stupid clueless also.

You AIN'T stupid clueless. Back 30 years ago when I worked in tire shops, we always went front to rear with radial tires. It didn't make much sense to do otherwise and it was what Michelin trained us to do. Bias plys we always criscrossed.

Same here in the shop I worked in. One of the older mechanics explained to me that you risk breaking belts in radials by criss-crossing because the belts set or conform to the direction of tire travel, and they'll shift if you change the direction. It sorta made sense to me, and it'd take a tire engineer telling me otherwise to change my mind. Bias plies aren't as rigid or oriented in the tire structure like radials so it isn't a problem.
My 2018 owner's manual still says to rearward cross rotate if not directional tires. But consider how much dealers make selling tires.

Every person you send his way puts money in his pocket. That's the attention economy where each click is a share of ad revenue. You are literally paying him to annoy you.

Agreed. If he could get another half million subs by telling people aliens on planet x drive F150s, he would.

Nah! Don't waste your time! He's as hyper as a wet Chihuahua and wouldn't be able to talk (if that's what he's doing) if his hands were tied! I can stand his high pitched squeaking for about 10 seconds!

Oh man, just looked him up. He looks and sounds exactly like one of those guys you accidentally start talking to in line at the store, and he won't shut up, and he's talking crazy, and you can't disengage from him.

Back in the early days of radial they would slip belts if the rotation direction was changed on them by cross rotating. Hasn't been a issue in the 21st century so no issue with cross rotation now.
