1
00:00:01,360 --> 00:00:05,080
Speaker 1: Sanna slave, if you're gonna help me make it fly?

2
00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:10,520
Speaker 2: It thought the magical reindeer made the sleigh fly?

3
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:14,400
Speaker 3: And where did the reindeer get their magic? From? Christmas spirit?

4
00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:18,680
Speaker 4: Everybody knows that Ron and Andian Santa is watching.

5
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:21,040
Speaker 1: I had to remind my dogs that the other day.

6
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:22,239
Speaker 1: Now I got to remind you.

7
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:22,520
Speaker 5: Yeah.

8
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:26,200
Speaker 1: But see, I have special access because without me, Santa

9
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:26,720
Speaker 1: doesn't fly.

10
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 2: Just he told me that unless you're good, you're not

11
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 2: getting any cocal on the troop.

12
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 6: Can't bring me the car doctor.

13
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 1: They actually tell you when the instructions, lay a piece

14
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:46,640
Speaker 1: of cardboard along the face of the radiator so you

15
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 1: don't damage or mush the fins. And I'm thinking, who

16
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 1: designed this? And it comes back to somebody that never

17
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 1: has to work on cars. They don't you never mind.

18
00:00:57,560 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 3: I'm gonna wear it anyway.

44
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:13,960

47
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 1: night before Christmas. Right here we are the Christmas weekend

48
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:24,800
Speaker 1: car Doctor radio show. We're doing it on a holiday,

57
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 1: they put that in the mainstream. I should point that out.

58
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 1: I was reading that this week that Seinfeldt inserted, you know,

59
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 1: the word and the whole idea of Festivus into the

60
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 1: consciousness of America. It shows you the depth of and

61
00:02:57,760 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 1: the world. It shows you the depth of where that

62
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 1: radio show went and what it does. So yeah, happy

00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 1: nine zero zero's the phone number. We are alive this

69
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 1: weekend Saturday through the four pm East Coast time, So

70
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:21,799
Speaker 1: if you're listening, that's where we are. By all means,

71
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 1: give us a call eight five to five five six

72
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 1: zero nine nine zero zero. Had a twenty sixteen Jeep

73
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 1: b Rennegade in the shop this week that you know,

74
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 1: it's one of those repairs that dogs you. You're you're

75
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 1: you're chasing something, but you're not quite sure. And some

76
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 1: of it made me scratch my head in conversation with

77
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 1: the customer because I wasn't sure. It was like I

78
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 1: was talking to two different people. The car came in

79
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 1: about five months ago, and the concern at the time

80
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 1: was that the gas tank was hard to fill up.

81
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 1: It had repetitive click off. I think we even talked

82
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 1: about it here. I think I talked about this Jeep

83
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 1: Renegade here on the show that day that the diagnostic

84
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 1: tests that I did and I went through step by

85
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 1: step by step, and I could never duplicate the problem.

86
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 1: I could never get it to happen, and the customer

87
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 1: needed the vehicle. They took it back. The sun was

88
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 1: going off to college, I think it was, or something

89
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 1: along those lines. And now here we are, you know,

90
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 1: so many four or five months later, he's back and

91
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 1: we've got it back under our care again. And they

92
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 1: brought it in and the when I made the appointment,

93
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 1: it actually says, you know, recheck customer can't fill tank

94
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,040
Speaker 1: and change the oil and look it over for winter

95
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 1: and change the tires and so forth. So I'm talking

96
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 1: at the counter and we're kind of going through it

97
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 1: because I always review every case, and I started talking

98
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 1: about how the tank is hard to fill, right, yeah,

99
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 1: And we sort of had a two three minute conversation

100
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:47,280
Speaker 1: about that, and then the son got a funny look

101
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 1: on his face as if I was no, it's not that, No,

102
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:53,159
Speaker 1: it's it said that the check engine light is on.

103
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 1: Oh so it has a fault code. Well, yeah, said

104
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,920
Speaker 1: the father. It's not. But it's not related to fill

105
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,479
Speaker 1: the gas tank. That's not a problem. Well, I said,

106
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 1: but it was. No, it never was. You know, sometimes

107
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:11,600
Speaker 1: you wonder like, well, but we spent he said, yeah,

108
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 1: he said, I don't know why you did that. I said, well,

109
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:15,839
Speaker 1: I did that because you know, you agreed on the

110
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 1: repair order that you signed. We went over and said

111
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,559
Speaker 1: it was yeah, no, it's not that. And I'm telling

112
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 1: you how many times I repeatedly said, Hey, I went

113
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 1: to the gas station. I tried filling it up. Didn't

114
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 1: make them a difference. Turns out we're chasing a p

115
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 1: zero four to fifty six small evap leak. A four

116
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 1: point fifty six is the smallest of evaporative emissions leaks.

117
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 1: And to you, as a consumer, you're thinking it's the

118
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 1: loose gas cap syndrome, which it's not. It's a it's

119
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:47,160
Speaker 1: a capitalist system. And or as a professional, you're thinking it's,

120
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 1: you know, a ceiling issue, which it was a renegade

121
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:55,359
Speaker 1: leaves a lot to be desired in terms of working

122
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 1: on it. It's it's sort of put together. Was like

123
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 1: the engineer swallowed all the parts, threw them up, and

124
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:02,719
Speaker 1: then just however it came out. That's how we're going

125
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 1: to assemble and disassemble it, because it's not a logical,

126
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 1: consequential thought process. To see the top of the gas tank,

127
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 1: you have to take out the back seat. To get

128
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:13,600
Speaker 1: the back seat out, you got to take torques bits

129
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 1: out underneath the spare tire holder. To get to that,

130
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 1: you got to empty the trunk. And it's just it's

131
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:21,919
Speaker 1: just perpetual misery to a degree, And as somebody on

132
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,720
Speaker 1: christ Or Techline told me this week. He said, you know,

133
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:26,600
Speaker 1: you should notify the customer that they're probably going to

134
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 1: replace every part on that car by the time it

135
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:29,720
Speaker 1: has one hundred thousand miles on it. I said, well,

136
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:32,839
Speaker 1: there's a there's an endorsement of a brand like really,

137
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 1: so p. Zero four fifty six. I want to talk

138
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:41,599
Speaker 1: about the front door and the back door to your house.

139
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 1: You've got a front door, you've got a back door.

140
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 1: You let your kids go play in the backyard. You

141
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:51,920
Speaker 1: probably opened the back door so that you could see them,

142
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 1: all right, but the back door was open, right, Maybe

143
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 1: there was a screen there. Okay, I get it, But

144
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 1: technically the back door is open. Front doors closed. Front

145
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 1: door close keeps from safe. Back door open keeps them

146
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:03,280
Speaker 1: safe because you can keep an eye on them, right,

147
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:07,359
Speaker 1: little kids. A car is a vaporative emission system is

148
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 1: sort of the same way. All right, there's a front door.

149
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 1: We call it a perge valve, and there's a back door.

150
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 1: We also call that the vent valve. In Chrysler world

151
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 1: it's still a purge valve in the front, but in

152
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 1: Chrysler Jeep language it's an ESOM, which is an abbreviation

153
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 1: and an acronym for their version of an evaporative service

154
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 1: control module blah blah blah blah blah. But in essence,

155
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 1: it's a vent valve, all right. It opens and closes,

156
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 1: and it allows the ability for the tank to fill up.

157
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 1: It opens, the vent's open when it's sitting there engine off,

158
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 1: or they open the vent or close the vent, depending

159
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 1: upon what phase of evaperative monitoring they're doing. But it's

160
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 1: the idea that it's like a back door right open, closed.

161
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 1: If you're sitting there at idle all right, at a

162
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 1: traffic light, for example, and you're not running any sort

163
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 1: of monitor, you're not running any sort of oppertive emission

164
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:04,239
Speaker 1: system test. The purge valve is closed, the vent valve

165
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 1: is open. They're allowing fumes to come up out of

166
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 1: the tank, be filtered through the charcoal canister and then

167
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 1: vent it out into the atmosphere. And they're also allowing

168
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 1: fresh air to be drawn in at the moment that

169
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 1: the purge valve does open, so they can pull fresh

170
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 1: air through the vent through the charcoal canister, scavenge any fumes,

171
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 1: and draw it up into the engine to burn at

172
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 1: the correct moment. Front door back door PI zero four

173
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 1: fifty six is telling us that somewhere in that system,

174
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 1: whether it's whether it's one of the front doors or

175
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 1: back doors, or the lines or the tank, but there

176
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 1: is a leak. How do they know that, Well, they'll

177
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 1: close the vent valve, they'll close the back door, they'll

178
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:47,560
Speaker 1: open the purge, they'll open the front door, and they'll

179
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:51,319
Speaker 1: allow engine vacuum to pull the system into a vacuum state.

180
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 1: And they measure how far and how deep they go

181
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 1: by looking at something called an FTP fuel tank pressure sensor.

182
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:01,680
Speaker 1: And when they pull it down into a deep enough

183
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 1: state of vacuum, and it's not a whole lot, it's

184
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 1: measured in inches of water. Six inches of water is

185
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 1: one inch of vacuum. You know, they're going to pull

186
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 1: it into some sort of a vacuum state. Then then

187
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 1: they're going to close the purge and look to see

188
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 1: does the FTP hold steady vacuum? Does it hold it

189
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 1: in a steady vacuum state? This car failed. This car

190
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 1: failed instet of P zero four fifty six because the

191
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 1: rate of decline of the vacuum state was such that

192
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 1: it said, hey, that's too much. You can't have any

193
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 1: But this failed at a level that set a four

194
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:36,080
Speaker 1: to fifty six, which is a smaller leak versus one

195
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:37,559
Speaker 1: that might be a large leak. They have a large

196
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 1: leak fault in a small leak fault. So we've got

197
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:42,840
Speaker 1: to go through and diagnose it. How are we going

198
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 1: to do it? Well, the easiest way to me was

199
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:50,200
Speaker 1: to hook up a smoke machine. We've got a speed

200
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 1: smoke from the folks over at Redline Detection in the

201
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:56,080
Speaker 1: shop that we use Redline Deetection dot Com. We hooked

202
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 1: up our speed smoke. We went right into the purge valve.

203
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 1: We measured from the purge valve inlet, so we measured

204
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 1: going back all the way through the system, the tank,

205
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:09,720
Speaker 1: the all the plastic lines, all the fittings, the charcoal canister.

206
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 1: We put a stopper in the back of the vent

207
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 1: valve which is the esum at the charcoal canister and

208
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:19,840
Speaker 1: smoked it and all the time. The speed smoke, which

209
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:24,840
Speaker 1: has a pressure gauge on it has both pressure and vacuum.

210
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 1: We're looking going into a pressure state. We're looking for

211
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:31,319
Speaker 1: loss of pressure once we shut it off, or we're

212
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:34,560
Speaker 1: looking for signs of smoke. We're also looking for flow.

213
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 1: They give us a flow valve or a flow ball

214
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 1: on the machine, and we're watching it get smaller and

215
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:44,080
Speaker 1: smaller and smaller in terms of flow, and finally the

216
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:47,680
Speaker 1: ball stops. The ball has reached maximum. It now tells

217
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 1: us there's no loss in the system and it holds

218
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:53,680
Speaker 1: itself in a pressure state. Hey, guess what I just proved.

219
00:10:54,360 --> 00:11:00,720
Speaker 1: I I just proved that the system has integrity. The

220
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 1: system does not leak all right, So at that point

221
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 1: I know I'm dealing with a likely mechanical fault. I

222
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:12,680
Speaker 1: had taken the back seat out. I looked at the

223
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 1: fuel pump. Inside the fuel pump, there's a check valve.

224
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:17,959
Speaker 1: The checkvals go bed, it'll start putting fuel out through

225
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 1: the vapor side and causing all sorts of issues. But

226
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 1: I didn't see anything there either. We took the vent

227
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 1: levalve lines off at the fuel pump.

228
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 2: Ran it.

229
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:29,079
Speaker 1: Nothing came out, so we went to smoking. The point

230
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 1: becomes in the course of about a half hours worth

231
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 1: of testing. By the time you take things apart, you

232
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 1: gotta take the wheel well out in the back on

233
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 1: the right side. We were able to prove that the

234
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:43,720
Speaker 1: system had integrity. I'm dealing with a mechanical component fault

235
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 1: in all likelihood. So one test I got it down

236
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:53,719
Speaker 1: to either a bad vent or a bad purge in

237
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 1: all likelihood. I don't want to take anything apart. It's

238
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:57,839
Speaker 1: all plastic and brittle, and it's seven years old, and

239
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:02,720
Speaker 1: it's in ugly places. Estoms have a very high, notoriously

240
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:05,440
Speaker 1: high failure rate. There are one hundred and some odd dollars.

241
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 1: Let's order one of those, and let's get a purge

242
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:11,320
Speaker 1: about the same money. They're second in line for failure,

243
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 1: and once I get them out of the car, I

244
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:16,720
Speaker 1: can test them further, pulled the purge out, pulled them out.

245
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:19,080
Speaker 1: The estom's a complicated piece to test, and it's not

246
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:21,720
Speaker 1: easily done on a bench, and it's probably not worth

247
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:23,200
Speaker 1: doing on a bench it has such a failure rate.

248
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 1: But the purge valve, the purge valve I was able

249
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 1: to prove bad by once I got it apart, I

250
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 1: put smoke through from the other side and it leaked.

251
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 1: It wouldn't hold. And that's why it's important to understand

252
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 1: front door, back door. You know, every time I explain this,

253
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 1: people say, well, when should a perge valve be open? Keon,

254
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 1: engine off? Or keon engine running at idle if it's

255
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 1: if you disconnect a purge valve, the purge valve is off,

256
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:54,719
Speaker 1: it's closed, it's it should be a solid wall of

257
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:58,200
Speaker 1: nothing can pass through it. That front door to your house, right,

258
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 1: keeps your card, it's safe your kit Nobody can walk

259
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 1: in through the front door, through the through the living room,

260
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 1: through the kitchen and get to your kid in the backyard.

261
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 1: Same thing right, same idea. That purge valve is the

262
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 1: front door like your house. It keeps the house safe.

263
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:16,719
Speaker 1: It's always closed. So when you're diagnosing EVAP, all you've

264
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 1: got to know is front door, back door, back doors open,

265
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 1: front doors closed, normally open, normally closed. Two states, prove

266
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 1: the per bed, prove the purge valve bed, and car's done.

267
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:33,320
Speaker 1: Car's gone. Random monitor ran a large leak test. We

268
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 1: don't have the ability to run a small league test

269
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 1: by scan tool, but you know some simple diagnostic steps.

270
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:42,080
Speaker 1: And I have to say that using a tool like

271
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:44,320
Speaker 1: the speed Smoke sure makes it easier because they not

272
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 1: only give us a pressure and a choice of a

273
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:48,720
Speaker 1: vacuum reading, they give us a flow meter on there

274
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 1: as well. So definitely, definitely the tool of the age

275
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 1: worth looking at Redlinedetection dot Com. I'm running any in

276
00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 1: the car. Doctor. I'll be back with more right after this.

277
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:15,720
Speaker 1: Don't go away time ride it on the wall so

278
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 1: you don't forget to call for car device done right?

279
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 1: Eight five five five six zero nine nine zero zero.

280
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 2: Now back to Rod.

281
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 1: Hey, let's cruise on over it and talk to Edin

282
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 1: Virginia with a forty packard? Ed, how are you today?

283
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 5: Ed?

284
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 1: And ED? Going once? ED going twice? Is Ed there?

285
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 5: Ed?

286
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 1: Yes, sir, yes, yes, sir? How are you Ed?

287
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 5: I'm doing okay, all right?

288
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 1: Full disclosure? Ed, and I talked to midweek. Ed's got

289
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 1: a forty packard. He's putting a modern day Lincoln drive

290
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 1: line in for suspension and breaks, and he's got a

291
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 1: heating problem in the rear. Where does it stand with this?

292
00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:57,160
Speaker 3: Said?

293
00:14:57,440 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 1: Describe the problem for everybody, So bring him up to date.

294
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 5: Okay, what's happening when I drive the car? You know,

295
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 5: even the short as six miles, But what happened is

296
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 5: the back breaks who get really hot and the front

297
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 5: face would stay normal. I went to a bunch of

298
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 5: stuff to change something. I ended up reversing the master

299
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:22,600
Speaker 5: cylinder because I did put that on backwards. I went

300
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 5: the old way instead of the new way. But now

301
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 5: we've we've changed some things again, and right now I've

302
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 5: got the front brakes working correctly. The back brakes don't

303
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 5: hold anymore. They don't, they don't they don't put they

304
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 5: don't put tension on anymore. But because we've changed the

305
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 5: rod in the change the length of the rod between

306
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:55,960
Speaker 5: the master cylinder and the brake booster, and that helped it.

307
00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 5: But now I have no brake pedal and for the

308
00:15:59,200 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 5: back breaks.

309
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 1: So so let's let's back up a second. So when

310
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 1: we talked midweek, your your concern was the conversation if

311
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 1: I remember correct me if I'm wrong, but you had

312
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 1: used the thermal imager. You were seeing five hundred degrees

313
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 1: at the rear brakes, but you had not thermal image

314
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:21,960
Speaker 1: the front. Did you ever eventually measure the temp on

315
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 1: the front brakes and what was it?

316
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:27,160
Speaker 5: Yes? And they were running about one hundred and forty degrees?

317
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 1: Okay, So then the concern became, right, we talked about

318
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 1: the proportioning valve. This had a proportioning valve in it,

319
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 1: if I remember correctly, yes, did you take that out

320
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 1: or bypass that we were just playing around with the

321
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 1: theory of it. Okay, got it all right, you know,

322
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 1: because the theory is, you know, the belief is on

323
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 1: a four wheel disc brake car, we don't need a

324
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 1: proportioning valve, but sometimes you find that you do, and

325
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 1: it's a matter of trial and error. But it shouldn't

326
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 1: be to the point that one's working harder than the other.

327
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 1: So what was your next step after to that? You

328
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 1: reverse the lines at the master?

329
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, well we had, Yeah, we reversed the lines that

330
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:10,520
Speaker 5: the master got that corrected. That was really we really

331
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:14,159
Speaker 5: did that before. And then what we did was we

332
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 5: took the rotors off, sent the rotors out, and got

333
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:21,720
Speaker 5: them returned to check them. That helped it a little bit.

334
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:26,880
Speaker 5: Then when we went didn't We had adjusted the rod

335
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 5: between the master cylinder and the power brake booster to

336
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:36,399
Speaker 5: take some of the pressure off of it. And because

337
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 5: now what it seems like is and I don't totally

338
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:45,119
Speaker 5: understand that, but what it seems like is it's getting

339
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:49,640
Speaker 5: too much vacuum and it's it's starting to pull the brakes.

340
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:54,200
Speaker 1: Okay, I'll tell you where that'd sit tight. Let me

341
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:56,720
Speaker 1: we'll ever take this pause. When we come back, we'll

342
00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 1: talk about it, because I think you've got more than

343
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:01,520
Speaker 1: what you see. I hear going on. I'm running aiding

344
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:03,399
Speaker 1: in the car. Doctor, We're gonna pull over and take

345
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 1: a pause for the cause. I'll be back right after this.

346
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:36,800
Speaker 3: Don't go away, that's include us. No in my arrusty

347
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:42,000
Speaker 3: chevrole down the road, I go sliding all the way.

348
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 3: I need nupiston.

349
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:46,560
Speaker 1: Welcme back running the car Doctor here at eight five

350
00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:49,359
Speaker 1: five five six zero nine nine zero zero. We're talking

351
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:52,159
Speaker 1: with that in Virginia. Is forty Packard trying to convert

352
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 1: a modern day breaking suspension system to it?

353
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:54,720
Speaker 3: Ed?

354
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 1: Who's master cylinder? Are you running on this car?

355
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:02,400
Speaker 5: What I thing? Was everything out of the two thousand

356
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:03,720
Speaker 5: trade Town car?

357
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:06,960
Speaker 1: Okay? On the two thousand and three Lincoln, did the

358
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:10,119
Speaker 1: I believe the rear line of the Master ran the

359
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:12,159
Speaker 1: front brakes or was it the other way around? What

360
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:13,440
Speaker 1: was factory.

361
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:18,480
Speaker 5: A factory? And everything else? Was the front front? Did

362
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:18,960
Speaker 5: the front?

363
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 1: Okay? I would double check that because my memory is

364
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:27,360
Speaker 1: the front the front is from the back. So just

365
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:29,440
Speaker 1: just look at that. That was pretty much the standard setup.

366
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 1: I would just verify that because changing it now we

367
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:36,240
Speaker 1: have to think about how the combination valve pressure, if

368
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:38,959
Speaker 1: there's a proportioning valve here, how the pressures are going

369
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:42,119
Speaker 1: to be different there. But regardless, just just be sure

370
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:43,960
Speaker 1: what you're doing because the car doesn't know, the system

371
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:46,719
Speaker 1: doesn't know what car it's on. All right. How it

372
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:49,920
Speaker 1: works will depend upon weight and bias and distribution of

373
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:53,200
Speaker 1: suspension components and so forth. But just be sure that

374
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:56,360
Speaker 1: you've got that line routed correctly. That being said, going

375
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:58,240
Speaker 1: back to your second comment, when we pulled away for

376
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:02,200
Speaker 1: the brake you were talking about you changed push rod length,

377
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:06,960
Speaker 1: the difference between the pedal and the booster correct.

378
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 5: Right, adjusted that all right?

379
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:15,159
Speaker 1: That should be set so that there's just a NAT's

380
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 1: eyelash of play between the push rod and the booster.

381
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:22,679
Speaker 1: It's not it's not that specific. You should not be

382
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:25,920
Speaker 1: into the booster. It should not be a solid feel.

383
00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:28,439
Speaker 1: You should be able to tap the brake pedal and

384
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:31,159
Speaker 1: have it and have and have some play there. It

385
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:34,359
Speaker 1: shouldn't be into the booster at that point, all right.

386
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:37,800
Speaker 1: And it's just that simple. And again, it doesn't know

387
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:40,040
Speaker 1: what car it's on. How do you have the how

388
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:41,960
Speaker 1: do you have that push rod set now.

389
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:46,800
Speaker 5: Tight, I bet right there, you know, right now it's

390
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:49,119
Speaker 5: got a little bit, it's got a little bit of play.

391
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:51,640
Speaker 1: In all right, a little bit, you know, I want

392
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:54,399
Speaker 1: I want a thirty second of an inch of play

393
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 1: just to touch, all right, and I'll call that good.

394
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 1: Let's take that out of the equation. Now, you were

395
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:03,480
Speaker 1: saying that you get a sense that the pedal is

396
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:05,200
Speaker 1: going down as you drive.

397
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:10,080
Speaker 5: It would it would it? That's what it seems that

398
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 5: it was doing that. It's not that the pedal was

399
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 5: going that it more pressure was being put on the

400
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:20,480
Speaker 5: brakes as it was as the car was being driven, as.

401
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 1: If the as if the pedal was applying by itself,

402
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 1: or or like as.

403
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:27,199
Speaker 5: If there's like more vacuum and everything else on it.

404
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:28,639
Speaker 1: It sounds like you have a bad booster.

405
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, but everything's new. But that I know that doesn't

406
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:34,880
Speaker 5: mean anything.

407
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:37,280
Speaker 1: You're gonna you're gonna you're gonna make me say it

408
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 1: never ever worked, right. If you disconnect, If you disconnect

409
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:45,399
Speaker 1: the booster and and try to drive the car, it's

410
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:47,760
Speaker 1: gonna be a hard break. Pedal might be too hard.

411
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:51,119
Speaker 1: You can't drive it, But do the brakes. Does it

412
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:54,320
Speaker 1: have a better pedal do the brakes work normally. I'm

413
00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:56,720
Speaker 1: wondering if this is a case that the booster itself

414
00:21:56,800 --> 00:22:01,080
Speaker 1: is at fault and it's applying the akes by themselves,

415
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:05,439
Speaker 1: and that's what caused the original hot problem.

416
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 5: Okay, right?

417
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 1: Why not?

418
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:11,480
Speaker 5: Yeah? Okay, that's something to look at them.

419
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 1: Right? Where'd the booster come from the other car?

420
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 5: Or you know, I mean I bought it from you know,

421
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 5: one of the auto parts places, right?

422
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:21,960
Speaker 1: And what brand was I?

423
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, I put everything. I put everything brand new in it.

424
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:26,879
Speaker 1: Right.

425
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 5: In other words, look, I bought the I bought the car,

426
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:33,239
Speaker 5: took all the components off of it, and then and

427
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:36,640
Speaker 5: then replaced them with new Right, Remember what I put

428
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:39,720
Speaker 5: the brake pedals. I put the brake pedal assembly into

429
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:43,880
Speaker 5: the car, and then the booster and the master cylinder

430
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:45,439
Speaker 5: put new ones on.

431
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:48,840
Speaker 1: Okay, So don't don't make this harder run yourself than

432
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:52,679
Speaker 1: it has to be. You put that system together just

433
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:54,800
Speaker 1: the way it was on that other car. You make

434
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:57,680
Speaker 1: sure all the lines are out of the same all right,

435
00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 1: step by step, piece by piece. That system doesn't know

436
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:04,280
Speaker 1: whether it's on a forty Packard, an three Lincoln, a

437
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:07,240
Speaker 1: fifty five Chevy, or anything in between. It just knows

438
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:10,520
Speaker 1: as attached to something, all right, whether it works or not,

439
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:12,920
Speaker 1: it is going to be predicated on the size of

440
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:14,520
Speaker 1: the brake pad, the size of the road, or the

441
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:17,840
Speaker 1: weight of the vehicle and so on. So you put

442
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:20,719
Speaker 1: that on exactly as it was designed by Ford. They

443
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 1: put a lot of engineering on it. Then we can

444
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:26,000
Speaker 1: talk about, all right, we've got a problem where maybe

445
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 1: the back brakes are applying or applying early or all

446
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:32,280
Speaker 1: the time. Maybe we've got a bad booster, we've got

447
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:37,760
Speaker 1: a bad master. Anything is possible, all right. The problem

448
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:41,040
Speaker 1: is you're trying to solve two or three issues at once.

449
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:44,120
Speaker 1: You're trying to transplant the system onto a different vehicle,

450
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:47,840
Speaker 1: and you're trying to troubleshoot a problem in that system.

451
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:51,280
Speaker 1: And the question is did you put that problem in

452
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:55,919
Speaker 1: the system by replacing a used part which to me

453
00:23:56,040 --> 00:24:01,879
Speaker 1: is field tested right with a new one versus or

454
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:06,359
Speaker 1: do you have an assembly or an installation error? Does

455
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 1: that make sense?

456
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:13,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean totally. Uh. Now, the only question I have,

457
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:17,320
Speaker 5: like somebody said to me that I should put a

458
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:21,360
Speaker 5: vacuum restrict on the booster.

459
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:24,320
Speaker 1: Why how much?

460
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:25,760
Speaker 5: I don't know how much? How much?

461
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:27,560
Speaker 1: How much vacuum do you have there now?

462
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:32,080
Speaker 5: No, you know, I doubt I can't tell you, right,

463
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:35,000
Speaker 5: you know I didn't. That hasn't been checked yet.

464
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:37,320
Speaker 1: Do you ever notice everybody's always got these ideas on

465
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:38,560
Speaker 1: what to do, but nobody ever test.

466
00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:43,000
Speaker 5: Yeah. Right, if you got three problems you've got, you

467
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:45,879
Speaker 5: ask seventeen people and you get thirty two different answers.

468
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:49,399
Speaker 1: Right, So let's go back step one. How are brakes

469
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:51,800
Speaker 1: designed to work? You know what what was the what

470
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:54,760
Speaker 1: was manifold vacuum requirement to make that break booster work

471
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:57,720
Speaker 1: on the three Lincoln? Because I guarantee you whatever it

472
00:24:57,760 --> 00:24:59,080
Speaker 1: was on the Lincoln, it's going to be the same

473
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:03,120
Speaker 1: thing on the packer. It doesn't know it's there, right right,

474
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 1: it's and my educated guess is somewhere between fifteen and

475
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:09,000
Speaker 1: eighteen inches of manifold vacuum and you're going to be

476
00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:12,960
Speaker 1: just fine. You know. That's and that's what it's looking for.

477
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:15,840
Speaker 1: And that's what I would expect to say. You know,

478
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:18,119
Speaker 1: I wouldn't put a vacuum restricter on there. I'm not

479
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:20,680
Speaker 1: sure what that would look like. Anyway, me might want

480
00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:22,760
Speaker 1: to put one of the little filters of the backfire valves,

481
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 1: those little cylindrical check valves that were in the systems.

482
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:28,200
Speaker 1: That's a whole nother conversation. But you know, let's just

483
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:31,200
Speaker 1: get the system to work. If you go to bleed

484
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:35,040
Speaker 1: this system, right, stuff some rags under the master so

485
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:36,560
Speaker 1: it doesn't make a mess on the car, because I'm

486
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:38,720
Speaker 1: sure it's painted pretty and so forth. But if you

487
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:41,119
Speaker 1: go to bleed this system and crack open the lines

488
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:44,679
Speaker 1: at the master, which one pushes fluid out first? The

489
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:47,240
Speaker 1: back of the front? My guess is the back?

490
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:55,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's what I thought that When everybody tells me

491
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:56,240
Speaker 5: it's the front.

492
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:59,160
Speaker 1: Well, everybody could be wrong. I could be wrong too,

493
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:03,159
Speaker 1: But until I test it, I don't know, but I

494
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:05,399
Speaker 1: would start it. I would start there. How is the

495
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:10,000
Speaker 1: system hooked up on a stock three Lincoln? However it was,

496
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:12,600
Speaker 1: That's how I'm going to do it. And you know

497
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:14,720
Speaker 1: where does fluid come? I get fluid out of the

498
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:18,000
Speaker 1: back first, and logically, I might that might help determine

499
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:19,960
Speaker 1: what I want to do? Do I even get fluid

500
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:22,640
Speaker 1: out of this? Is the master? Air bound? Why did

501
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:26,560
Speaker 1: I lose the pedal? Right? I got a hundred questions here,

502
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:32,159
Speaker 1: don't I don't like to do it. But if I

503
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:36,960
Speaker 1: clamp off the rubber break hoses, all right, and they

504
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:40,840
Speaker 1: do make they have in the last ten twelve years. Yeah,

505
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:43,119
Speaker 1: they make that crimp tool that's rounded, so it's not

506
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:46,680
Speaker 1: a pair of ice scripts. It's designed specifically to plug

507
00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:50,720
Speaker 1: rubber hoses. You know, at to crimp rubber hoses one,

508
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:52,959
Speaker 1: you'd need three or four because you want to, you know,

509
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 1: go crimp off all four wheels. Go crimp off all

510
00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:58,960
Speaker 1: four wheels. Bleed the system. You should get a rock

511
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:03,720
Speaker 1: hard pedal, right, right, and then then then uncrimp each

512
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 1: hose one at a time. Bleed that caliber, bleed that

513
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 1: corner house the pedal, good pedal. Okay, go to the

514
00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:12,160
Speaker 1: next one, good pedal. Okay, go to the next one.

515
00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:15,160
Speaker 1: Bad pedal. Right, what's different about that one that makes

516
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 1: it a bad pedal? Diagnose that that's how you diagnose.

517
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:22,639
Speaker 1: Not you know, listen, this isn't diagnostics. Isn't well, you know,

518
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:24,800
Speaker 1: let's see, it's it's Tuesday and the moon's gonna come

519
00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:27,399
Speaker 1: up about seven oh five. The last time it did that,

520
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 1: I put red parts on a blue car. That's what

521
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:32,480
Speaker 1: we should do to this one. That's not diagnostics. That's voodoo.

522
00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:35,960
Speaker 1: All right, and everybody does this voodoo that they do

523
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:38,639
Speaker 1: so well that confuses everything, you know.

524
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:43,679
Speaker 5: So all right, yeah, this one, this one's been driving

525
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 5: us crazy.

526
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:46,880
Speaker 1: Yep, it's just the car. It's just the car man,

527
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:52,920
Speaker 1: trust me, not hard, just just a logical approach, all right, kiddo,

528
00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:54,920
Speaker 1: I gotta run up against the clock. You need me,

529
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:55,639
Speaker 1: you know where to find me.

530
00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:55,880
Speaker 2: Yet.

531
00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:59,640
Speaker 1: I appreciate You're very welcome, sir. We'll talk again. You're

532
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:02,000
Speaker 1: very well welcome. Merry Christmas eight five five five six

533
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:04,080
Speaker 1: zero nine nine zero zero. The car Doctor's coming back

534
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:04,560
Speaker 1: right up to.

535
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:21,200
Speaker 7: This rocking around Christmas Street at Christmas, just.

536
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:23,800
Speaker 1: Rocking around Ron and Ayan. Here we go. Let's car

537
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:26,480
Speaker 1: doctor it up. Let's go to Travis in Illinois. Fifteen

538
00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:28,640
Speaker 1: f two to fifty Travis. Welcome to the car Doctor, sir.

539
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:29,240
Speaker 1: How can I help?

540
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:31,120
Speaker 2: Hey? How you doing today?

541
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:32,120
Speaker 1: Good sir? What's going on?

542
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:33,320
Speaker 3: So?

543
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:35,960
Speaker 2: Like you said, I've got a twenty fifteen to four

544
00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:39,000
Speaker 2: f two to fifty Platinum. It's lifted, it has a

545
00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:43,240
Speaker 2: BDS eight inch lift on it. Okay, I'm having an

546
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:49,160
Speaker 2: issue with the traction control. So I come up. So

547
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:53,440
Speaker 2: scenario is I come up to a four way two

548
00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:57,800
Speaker 2: lane intersection. I make a left turn. As I come

549
00:28:57,840 --> 00:28:59,840
Speaker 2: out of the turn and I start to straighten the wheelback,

550
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:05,600
Speaker 2: the traction control will very momentarily activate and like pull

551
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:09,320
Speaker 2: me to the right. There's no light that comes on.

552
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:12,920
Speaker 2: I got a mechanic friend that hooked it up to

553
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:17,600
Speaker 2: his snap on computer system. There's no codes, there's no errors,

554
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:21,480
Speaker 2: there's nothing showing in the computer system. I did a

555
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:24,120
Speaker 2: little research on my own, you know, the possibility as

556
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:26,600
Speaker 2: a speed sensor in the front. So that was a

557
00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:30,080
Speaker 2: pretty cheap trial to see if it worked. I changed

558
00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:34,080
Speaker 2: it out, it was fine for about three or four days,

559
00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:41,440
Speaker 2: came right back. It seems to happen only in tighter turns,

560
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 2: you know, if it's a longer, sleeping turn, it doesn't

561
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:49,880
Speaker 2: necessarily happen. I've read that it could be wheel bearings

562
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:52,520
Speaker 2: going bad. I've tested the wheel bearings. You know, you

563
00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:54,960
Speaker 2: jacket up to try to move the wheel certain ways,

564
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:56,400
Speaker 2: you know, up and down.

565
00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 5: Side side.

566
00:29:57,200 --> 00:29:59,200
Speaker 2: It doesn't hundred percent, but.

567
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:02,080
Speaker 1: It doesn't do it on left turns. Travis only rights.

568
00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:05,520
Speaker 2: Well, it's only on left turns, but it's not the

569
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 2: left turn itself. It's when you bring it back to

570
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 2: the right.

571
00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:08,960
Speaker 1: It's the emotion.

572
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:10,240
Speaker 2: It won't do it on the right turn.

573
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:15,920
Speaker 1: Okay. So when you did the lift, all right.

574
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:17,520
Speaker 2: I didn't do it, all right?

575
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:19,600
Speaker 1: Did you buy the truck that way? You had somebody

576
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:20,120
Speaker 1: else do it?

577
00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:23,400
Speaker 2: I did, and from what I understand, it was professionally

578
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:26,880
Speaker 2: done down in Texas where the truck was bought, and

579
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:30,520
Speaker 2: they had some had a shot down there put it in.

580
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:35,760
Speaker 2: I've had the truck for six years and it's never

581
00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:36,680
Speaker 2: had any issues with it.

582
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:40,120
Speaker 1: So it just started doing it, yeah, like all right.

583
00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:41,920
Speaker 2: A month or two ago, and I've just been trying

584
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:43,400
Speaker 2: to research it and figure it out.

585
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:48,320
Speaker 1: Two things. There should be a your sensor in this truck. Okay,

586
00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:50,840
Speaker 1: all right, you know y'all like like in a boat. Right,

587
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:53,240
Speaker 1: make sure you know, make sure see if you see

588
00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:55,280
Speaker 1: if your friends snap on scanner, which it should be

589
00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:58,400
Speaker 1: able to, can do a UR sensor calibration. It's pretty simple,

590
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:01,480
Speaker 1: all right, Okay. I've I've seen some of these lifted

591
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:03,800
Speaker 1: vehicles lose calibration and it will do all kinds of

592
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:08,000
Speaker 1: funky things. That's number one. Number two, all right. He

593
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:12,280
Speaker 1: should be able to get into the ABS controller and

594
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:17,320
Speaker 1: bring up the wheel speed sensors all right and graph them.

595
00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:21,560
Speaker 1: Only graph the four sensors or just grasp the two fronts.

596
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:24,000
Speaker 1: We really should be using a lab scope to do

597
00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:26,200
Speaker 1: this because it's going to be faster and more accurate.

598
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 1: But just to get an idea, let's just bring up

599
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:32,320
Speaker 1: let's just bring up the four wheel speed sensors and

600
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:36,920
Speaker 1: watch them. Does anybody drop out while we're driving? Does

601
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:40,160
Speaker 1: anybody showing you know? Does anybody show in consistency when

602
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:42,640
Speaker 1: we come back from that left turn? Does the right

603
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:47,400
Speaker 1: one hiccup? All right? Does it have a momentary you know,

604
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:50,280
Speaker 1: brain glitch where it goes good and it's just it

605
00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:53,480
Speaker 1: confuses the system. Do that this week, call me back

606
00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:56,040
Speaker 1: next week. Let me know what happens, all right. I

607
00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:58,320
Speaker 1: appreciate your help, No problem, kittle. You keep me posting

608
00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:00,440
Speaker 1: and we'll fix it. Eight five five five to six

609
00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:02,800
Speaker 1: zero nine nine zero zero. Hey, coming up next, we're

610
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:04,680
Speaker 1: going in the shop, brought to you by AutoZone. I'm

611
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:06,680
Speaker 1: ronning any in the car doctor. We're back right after this.

612
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:22,200
Speaker 1: Choris Mons love you, welcome back. I'm not an any

613
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:25,120
Speaker 1: of the car doctor. We're in the shop right now.

614
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:29,400
Speaker 1: Courtesy of AutoZone. Talking about a twenty fifteen Lexus and

615
00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:32,160
Speaker 1: two thousand that came in the shop this week, and

616
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:34,840
Speaker 1: they're sort of the sister cousin to the RX three

617
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:37,040
Speaker 1: fifty cars. They're built on the same platform. They have

618
00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:40,160
Speaker 1: a lot of similar parts but some dissimilar stuff, and

619
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:42,520
Speaker 1: they're pretty basic, same thing to work on. There's there's

620
00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:46,120
Speaker 1: no real challenge there. It's just it's a Lexus or so.

621
00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:46,560
Speaker 2: We thought.

622
00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:48,720
Speaker 1: We had to do rear breaks on this twenty fifteen

623
00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:52,360
Speaker 1: Lexus and it needed calibers. You know, there's a problem

624
00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:54,080
Speaker 1: in the industry right now, in case you're not aware

625
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:58,120
Speaker 1: of it, of replacement brake calipers. There seem the choices

626
00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:02,000
Speaker 1: seem to be fitting out every day, and sure enough,

627
00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:06,760
Speaker 1: this twenty fifteen Lexus and two hundred kneaded rear calibers.

628
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:09,320
Speaker 1: The dust boot on the left side caliber the piston

629
00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:11,640
Speaker 1: was blown wide open and the dust boot was gone

630
00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:14,080
Speaker 1: and it had rusted. It was stuck. That's why the

631
00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:15,840
Speaker 1: brakes on the left side were worn down to a

632
00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:18,280
Speaker 1: millimeter and the brakes on the right side were about four.

633
00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:22,479
Speaker 1: It had a bad caliber. Two choices. We're either going

634
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:25,520
Speaker 1: to Lexus all right to see what they've got, or

635
00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:29,080
Speaker 1: we're going to find a reasonable alternative. Well, AutoZone had it,

636
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:32,960
Speaker 1: all right. AutoZone was the only manufacturer. All right, you

637
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:35,280
Speaker 1: can check me on this, just go to any website.

638
00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:38,560
Speaker 1: I could not find any manufacturer other than AutoZone and

639
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:40,800
Speaker 1: other ones we deal with on a regular basis any

640
00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:45,520
Speaker 1: rebuilders that had calipers with brackets. To have calibers was

641
00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:47,640
Speaker 1: one thing, but to have calibers with the brackets. If

642
00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:50,840
Speaker 1: you buy the calipers new from Lexus, you have to

643
00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:54,800
Speaker 1: buy the brackets separately, which doubled the price of the

644
00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:57,440
Speaker 1: of the part itself. It went from about two hundred

645
00:33:57,440 --> 00:33:59,800
Speaker 1: dollars to four hundred dollars, and it didn't make any

646
00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:02,480
Speaker 1: sense to me. Now, some of this is based on

647
00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:04,320
Speaker 1: the problem, and I think we've all run into this,

648
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:07,440
Speaker 1: the professionals out there I'm speaking to with regard to

649
00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:10,560
Speaker 1: the electronic parking breaks, it's the ones with the electronic

650
00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:13,359
Speaker 1: parking brake actuators, which a lot of vehicles are. Today

651
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:17,080
Speaker 1: there's getting fewer and fewer mechanical parking break operations. But

652
00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:22,160
Speaker 1: this was an electrical parking break actuator caliber vehicle. Autozon

653
00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:23,960
Speaker 1: was the only one that had it. With the brackets,

654
00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:26,640
Speaker 1: we're able to get them courtesy the door. Last line,

655
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:30,200
Speaker 1: all right, do rides to our rescue again and get

656
00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:32,680
Speaker 1: the car out the door in a timely manner Christmas week,

657
00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:35,440
Speaker 1: so we appreciate that and just make everybody aware. You
