Speaker 1: Ron and Nanian. Certain domestic car manufacturers parts prices are

2
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:18,680
Speaker 1: falling in line or are more realistic maybe, and some

3
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:22,239
Speaker 1: of the imports are just crazy out of their out site.

4
00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:24,119

00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 1: busy week at the shop. We had a lot of

42
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 1: things going on that I could probably touch on. And

43
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 1: I also want to talk a little bit about there's

44
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:23,799
Speaker 1: a some interesting stuff out of the Washington Post today

45
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 1: about Hyundai and Kia being petitioned to recall almost three

46
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 1: million vehicles two point nine million vehicles, and uh UM

47
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 1: an article came into US and I failed to do

48
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:34,800
Speaker 1: this last week from the folks over at Goyda's capital

49
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 1: UH Sarah Gilder reporting about GM topping Tesla in the

50
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 1: ranking of what I made the driving systems. And we'll

51
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 1: talk about that a little bit this hour next. But

52
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 1: right now, let's kick the garage doors open and let's

53
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 1: go over and talk to Mike and Dnielan, who wants

54
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 1: to make some comments about Honda's Mike, Welcome to the

55
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 1: car doctor, Sir. How are you today? Hey, good afternoon,

56
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 1: run Always good to talk to you, sir, Yes, sir,

57
00:02:54,200 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 1: what's cooking? UM? I was reading something yesterday on one

58
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 1: of the articles that I always peruse, and they talked

59
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 1: about the nineteen whether or no se Honda cr vs

60
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 1: having a problem with fuel getting into the oil and

61
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:22,639
Speaker 1: they are recalling those. UM. It hasn't been generally announced,

62
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:25,920
Speaker 1: but they are working on that and trying to fix

63
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,919
Speaker 1: it with the nineteen models. Have you ever heard about

64
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 1: this before? The thing that I've heard about is that

65
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 1: they're having issues with ring seal meanings and rings aren't

66
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 1: thist and rings aren't aren't doing the job they're supposed to,

67
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 1: and they're allowing fuel to wash down and contaminate the oil.

68
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 1: You know, I don't know if this I'm sorry, go ahead,

69
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 1: And I was gonna say, I finish your point. I

70
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 1: don't know whether this is a turbo one point five

71
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 1: motor or the two point four engine they did not specify,

72
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 1: but I would imagine that it's a turbo motor they're

73
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 1: having problems with. Yeah, and I don't I don't know

74
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 1: the answer to that one either. I think what it

75
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 1: does show, though, is that in the search for perfection,

76
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 1: as car companies are striving for today, and Honda's taken

77
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:16,159
Speaker 1: some good leaps and bounds. They make a good product,

78
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:19,040
Speaker 1: but they have their issues to everything has its fault,

79
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:20,840
Speaker 1: And I say that all the time. I don't think

80
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 1: there's any one car out there that's perfect. It just

81
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:26,160
Speaker 1: can't be. I I think the technology that you illustrated

82
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 1: and are recalling almost three million cars, so the once

83
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 1: fabled excellent car has not been proven bulletproof. No, it

84
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 1: hasn't And I think part of that problem becomes because

85
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 1: we expect so much, we demand so much. As as

86
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,280
Speaker 1: a motor republic, we just you know, and we get

87
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:51,040
Speaker 1: we get upset when car companies give us lemons if

88
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:53,040
Speaker 1: it were and I'm not saying the Hondas are lemons.

89
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 1: I think Handa makes a good car. It's you know,

90
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 1: my problem with Honda as a company is the make

91
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 1: a good car, and they to me, I feel like

92
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:05,719
Speaker 1: they rub your nose in it a little bit there there.

93
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 1: As you know. I I don't drive, but I keep

94
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:13,160
Speaker 1: abreast to the news and I really enjoy what you

95
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 1: do here. And you bring what is good for the

96
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,720
Speaker 1: public to know to their attention, which a lot of

97
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:23,480
Speaker 1: people hide behind. They favor one brand over another. And

98
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:26,360
Speaker 1: I figure, you're a you know, you hit the ball

99
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 1: out of the park every week. Well thanks, Mike, I try,

100
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 1: you know. I I'm here not to promote anyone company. Listen,

101
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 1: I call him like I see him. I'm sort of

102
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 1: like the umpire of automobiles. Maybe that's what I should be.

103
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:42,279
Speaker 1: The umpire, the dunka blind Empire, the car umpire. Okay,

104
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 1: I'm just you know, I'm just I'm just telling you

105
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 1: what I say, I think every car out there has

106
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:48,719
Speaker 1: its faults. I just think it's a matter of getting

107
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:51,280
Speaker 1: to the right guy to resolve it, to understand it.

108
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:55,040
Speaker 1: I remember, and you know, part of the complication is

109
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 1: the technology, and the other side of it is it's

110
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 1: people's dedication. Probably three years ago on the show, we

111
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 1: had a caller that had a problem with his brand

112
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 1: new at the time Cadillac. Every time he ran the

113
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 1: air conditioning, it left a white stain on the driveway.

114
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:15,919
Speaker 1: And you know when when the when the water dripped

115
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:19,719
Speaker 1: out of the evaporator and the dealer couldn't resolve it

116
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,719
Speaker 1: for them, they changed the evaporator. They went through and

117
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 1: did a couple of things. So I guess, you know,

118
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 1: I'm I'm compelled. I want to know why something does

119
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:29,719
Speaker 1: what it does. I want to know how it works.

120
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 1: I want to know why it does what it does.

121
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,280
Speaker 1: I called up a friend of mine, Ken was Merken

122
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 1: was a midlevel engineer for General Motors at the time.

123
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 1: He since retired with the high school together and I said, Ken,

124
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 1: I said, here's the deal, and I told him the

125
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:44,839
Speaker 1: whole story, and he said, well that's and he was

126
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:48,039
Speaker 1: with Chevrolet. He said, you know, that's just strange. He said,

127
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 1: there's gotta be a reason. Kenny and I were car

128
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 1: guys in high school together, and he, you know, he's

129
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,360
Speaker 1: got the bug like me. He called over to the

130
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:57,600
Speaker 1: boys at Cadillac and he said, Hey, here's the deal.

131
00:06:57,640 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 1: I've got a you know, he's I've got I've got

132
00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 1: a guy who does a national radio show. We've got

133
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 1: this late model whatever iteen Cadillac. I forget the model

134
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 1: at the point, and this is what it's doing. Initiated

135
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 1: an inside out GM search. GM went through the whole process,

136
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 1: look to say, okay, you know where was this car built?

137
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 1: Who built it? And started going back and looking at

138
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 1: the vendors. Turns out that this evaporator when they soldered

139
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 1: and put it together, they used the wrong type of

140
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 1: solder and it was leaving it was leaving stains in

141
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 1: the uh in the driveway whenever, whenever the water would

142
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 1: rip out, and U that ended up, you know, they

143
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:44,240
Speaker 1: ended up sending you know, a special evaporator out. They

144
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 1: issued a bulletin. They you know, replaced any that came along.

145
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 1: And but look at the effort that General Motors went

146
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 1: through to make that right. It was a simple mistake

147
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 1: on the part of the vendor that and once it

148
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 1: was you say to me that the the the fluid

149
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 1: that was in the condenser was causing a reaction with

150
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 1: the solder. Yes, that's I believe that was the explanation

151
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 1: I got, or that it was the wrong solder and

152
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 1: it was incorrect such that the sodder reacted with the

153
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 1: water and created an ascid and that was the stain

154
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 1: in the driveway. But it's it had to do with

155
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 1: and started with the type of solder that the evaporator

156
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 1: was was put together with, and that just you know,

157
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:33,679
Speaker 1: I never forgot that, Like I don't forget a lot

158
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 1: of things when it comes to the cars. I look

159
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:39,679
Speaker 1: at the dedication and the skill set involved to bring

160
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 1: such a complicated product to market. Look at Honda's effort.

161
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 1: They'll get to the bottom of it. They'll figure it out.

162
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:47,960
Speaker 1: They're not gonna make everybody happy because somebody's gonna be

163
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 1: just out of warranty and somehow the somebody's gonna fall

164
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 1: through the cracks. You just know they are. But it's

165
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:59,839
Speaker 1: a complicated product. Despite our being technically advanced, we still

166
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 1: situations like the self it's voting pinto of the cors

167
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:07,960
Speaker 1: of air decidation. But it's all different today. Yeah. And

168
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 1: you know, Mike, you can't even talk about those cars.

169
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:12,440
Speaker 1: Those cars, that's a you know, that's a lifetime ago.

170
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 1: I was. I mean, but I get your point. Listen,

171
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:18,960
Speaker 1: we we we we can live in the past and

172
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 1: look at what we did. But there's a saying in

173
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 1: the car business, don't tell me where you've been, tell

174
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 1: me where you're going. I was reading an article online

175
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:29,960
Speaker 1: this morning about a nineteen let me get this right,

176
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 1: nineteen seventy two Plymouth Barracuda that was found in a

177
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:36,719
Speaker 1: barn and upstate New York. It's on eBay. I think

178
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 1: it's on eBay right now. It's been sitting in the

179
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 1: barn for thirty years and the owner says the best

180
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 1: offer over seven thousand takes it. It needs intereerior, it

181
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 1: needs tires, it needs restoration, and it's only a three

182
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 1: eight team. And I sat there and I said, you know,

183
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 1: look at the fascination with something that's been sitting thirty years,

184
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 1: and to me, it's the wrong car. It's it's a

185
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 1: three eighteen, if it was a four forty, if it

186
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:06,440
Speaker 1: was a hemmy obviously, but you know, well, yeah, but

187
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 1: we'll somebody go and grab that car. I don't know.

188
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 1: My point is, will somebody will you know? Or or

189
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 1: the owner said? The owner said, if nobody buys it,

190
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 1: I'm gonna let us sit in the barn another thirty years,

191
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 1: which I think is stupid on his part. Uh. You

192
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:24,319
Speaker 1: know what, all these old cars that everybody were a

193
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 1: nation of hoarders were a nation of automotive hoarders. Who

194
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 1: I've got, you know, I've got I know a guy

195
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:34,560
Speaker 1: who's got nine nine or ten four or nine Chevy motors.

196
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:39,080
Speaker 1: Won't give him up. He's seventy five years old. What

197
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 1: are you gonna do with these? I'm gonna find a

198
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:42,680
Speaker 1: car and put him in each one? Yeah, okay, good

199
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:46,120
Speaker 1: at seventy all right, I got news for you. Listen,

200
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:48,080
Speaker 1: when you die, your kids are gonna take him and

201
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 1: scramp them, because that's all they're worth at this point.

202
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 1: They've been sitting for thirty years, and you know, just

203
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:57,199
Speaker 1: to show you, and I don't make this the last point,

204
00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:00,040
Speaker 1: because I know you've got other callers. When you and

205
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 1: you went out and bought a jag X K one fifty,

206
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:06,840
Speaker 1: which I told you I used to work on my my,

207
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:09,680
Speaker 1: my dad, and I used to work on it. That

208
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 1: car was six thousand dollars brand new. If you find

209
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 1: one in good shape today with the motor that was

210
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:21,600
Speaker 1: in our car, I just witnessed one out on one

211
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 1: of the lists for three hundred grand, right, well crazy.

212
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 1: And that's not to say that you can't make some

213
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 1: good money buying the right car. You know what it

214
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 1: could have should have. Listen, if we get into the

215
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:39,080
Speaker 1: time machine and go back and buy a series of

216
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 1: ten cars, and you buy the right ten cars and

217
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 1: bring them forward. But you know, Mike, we've got a

218
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:46,199
Speaker 1: better chance of wishing and becoming eighteen again, and I

219
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 1: don't think that's gonna happen either of this. Left, So

220
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 1: as always, my friend, A good time to talk to you,

221
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:53,800

224
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 1: Doctor Zo nine zero zero. We're back right after this.

225
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 1: Need advice on how to maintain that classic g t O.

226
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 1: Ron is the guy eight five five five zero nine

227
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 1: zero zero. Here's Ron. Hey, let's get over and talk

228
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,080
Speaker 1: to Larry in Florida. Larry, how are you doing down

229
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 1: there in Florida? Are you safe? We are here in St. Augustine.

230
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:33,960
Speaker 1: I have some friends and a friend in Mexico Beach

231
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:38,200
Speaker 1: and uh uh surprisingly at their house is still there's

232
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 1: an old blockhouse from nine right across from the golf

233
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 1: and they said it's still there. But it's just heartbreaking

234
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 1: the picture. It's just Yeah, it's tough. It's really tough. Yeah,

235
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:52,080
Speaker 1: we can't. We count our blessings, we really do. How

236
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 1: can I help you, my friend? Sure? Do? Uh? A

237
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 1: couple of things. First is I have an intermittent backup

238
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:03,720
Speaker 1: camera issue. Sometimes it works beautifully and other times it's

239
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 1: just all staticky uh no rhyme or reason, and I

240
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 1: can figure out um, anybody do any diagnostics to it

241
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 1: or or you know, it just it just happens when

242
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 1: nobody really looked at it. So the issue here becomes

243
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 1: you ever wonder how they make it so that when

244
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,559
Speaker 1: you go into reverse that's when the camera turns on.

245
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 1: Never wondered about okay, well, because otherwise you would be

246
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 1: kind of neat. You can turn the camera and look

247
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:29,640
Speaker 1: at the guy behind your tailgate in you so it

248
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 1: would be uh, you know, maybe like a sply car.

249
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 1: So what happens is when you put the car and reverse,

250
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 1: the body computer sends a twelve volts signal out to

251
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,400
Speaker 1: the camera and that's what powers the camera up. That's

252
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:43,319
Speaker 1: the moment the camera powers up. So the one thing

253
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:46,440
Speaker 1: we always check, or the one the first thing to check,

254
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:49,440
Speaker 1: in my opinion, is to go to the camera and

255
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 1: you're going to take a volt meter and tap into

256
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 1: that and look to see do you have twelve volts

257
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:57,959
Speaker 1: when you go into reverse. When the problem happens in

258
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:02,080
Speaker 1: your case, you can't really do that because it's intermittent, right.

259
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 1: So here's where we're gonna use my old one side

260
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 1: marker bulb trick, the one I always talk about. You

261
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 1: have to have a mechanic wire into that twelve volt

262
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:16,440
Speaker 1: feed to the to the camera, which should be terminal six.

263
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 1: It's a pink wire coming out of the BCM feeding

264
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 1: back to the camera, and just wire in a side

265
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 1: marker bulb hanging on the inside of the truck so

266
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 1: that when you put it in reverse, you can look

267
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 1: in your rear view mirror. Is the camera on, Yeah,

268
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 1: the bulb is lit. If the bulb is lit and

269
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 1: the cameras not on, then at least we've got a direction.

270
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 1: We know, we know it's getting signal. Why isn't the

271
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 1: camera powering up? Now? It might be that the camera's

272
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 1: not powering up because the ground, which is terminal five,

273
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 1: the black white wire at the camera, has got a

274
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:49,120
Speaker 1: bad ground. Heck, we can put the ball across five

275
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 1: and six, fire it up. Bulb lights up, the bulb

276
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 1: lights up. Then we've either got a bad camera or

277
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 1: a problem in the radio display. But at least we've

278
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:02,720
Speaker 1: got a direction. The majority of the times, all right,

279
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 1: when the camera just outright fails, it's a camera all

280
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 1: right on on a percentage basis of the time, it's

281
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 1: a camera failure, barring the you know, the person didn't

282
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 1: wipe the lens clean, and we forget that that's actually

283
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 1: a camera lens. You know, there's schmitz on the lens,

284
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 1: Schmitz being an industry technical term. You know that that

285
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 1: that's affecting vision um So you know, just keep that

286
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 1: and we're not getting a fuzzy When I'm getting a

287
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 1: fuzzy excuse me for interrupting. When I'm getting a fuzzy display,

288
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:35,880
Speaker 1: I still hear the signal like I'm getting close to something, Okay,

289
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 1: so uh yeah, so it's still it's still able to

290
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 1: detect the sensors are working, which is a different part

291
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 1: of the system. Those are the sensors in the bulp

292
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 1: were a little round you know. That's the that's the

293
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 1: park As system. Um, that's the I forget what the

294
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:52,680
Speaker 1: actual I know ford is bliss. I forget what GMS

295
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 1: acronym is for. Everybody's got a different you know, we're

296
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 1: gonna call it this this week. Um, I'd like to

297
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:00,200
Speaker 1: call it that. I can't turn my head and can

298
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 1: therefore I'm blinded, so I have to back up based

299
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 1: on sensor system. But um, you know we don't do that.

300
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:08,120
Speaker 1: Uh but yeah, let's let's start with wiring it up

301
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 1: like a very simple you know, go to your local

302
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 1: auto parts store. Uh, some side marker bulbs or some

303
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:15,320
Speaker 1: kind of a bulb and socket, and do I have

304
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:17,200
Speaker 1: power to the camera. If I've got power to the camera,

305
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 1: that tells me half the circuits working. Awesome, last thing

306
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 1: I got. If it's related. But all of a sudden,

307
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 1: my remote start stopped working. Where would I have a

308
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 1: mechanic lift first to work? Could fact factory remote start correct.

309
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 1: So it's a GAM So it's a it's a three

310
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 1: button uh transmitter. Right, you've got a lock unlock and

311
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 1: you've got the little circle arrow button at the top. Correct. Okay,

312
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 1: So um, general motors, for example, the first thing I

313
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:52,840
Speaker 1: would look for is a bad hood letch. I know

314
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 1: it sounds weird, uh but yeah, yeah yeah they yeah,

315
00:16:58,160 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 1: Well think about it. They don't let you use remote

316
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 1: store art if the hood's open, right, they won't let

317
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:06,280
Speaker 1: you use They won't let you use remote start at

318
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:08,120
Speaker 1: the hood's open. Of course, I can't imagine why somebody

319
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 1: would have the hood open and want to use remote start. Um.

320
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 1: You know there's but that's you know, if it's got

321
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:15,800
Speaker 1: a bad if it's got a bad hood, lets the

322
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:19,280
Speaker 1: remote start won't operate. Um and typically you would get

323
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 1: a warning, but depending upon how it failed. It's just

324
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 1: one of the things I look for. It's a simple thing.

325
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 1: It's just a characteristic of the system. So you know,

326
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 1: it would be going with the scan tool. Does the

327
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 1: hood lets show in the closed position? If it doesn't

328
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 1: show in the closed position, then why not? And that's

329
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:38,439
Speaker 1: gonna that's gonna prevent remote start from working. Um. The

330
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:41,120
Speaker 1: next place I would go, is does the BCM does

331
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 1: the body computers show correct input to allow it to

332
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:46,440
Speaker 1: allow remote start to work? When you press remote start,

333
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:48,640
Speaker 1: does it say hey, I'm trying to but nothing happens,

334
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:51,359
Speaker 1: you know, just things that go by. Listen. I've already

335
00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:54,159
Speaker 1: figured out how to defeat start stop technology. You know,

336
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:56,840
Speaker 1: I'm talking about start stop technology the last couple of

337
00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:58,479
Speaker 1: weeks that when the car pulls up to the traffic

338
00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:00,879
Speaker 1: light and you know, it shuts off and then you

339
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 1: want to restart it. I bet don't tell anybody. I

340
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:09,119
Speaker 1: bet that if we turn to check engine light on,

341
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 1: start stop technology will no longer work in the car.

342
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 1: I bet you. I was thinking about it because because right,

343
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 1: because it would be um uh but what's the word

344
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 1: I'm looking for. It would weaken the engine's ability to perform,

345
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:27,919
Speaker 1: so they probably defeat start stop. I'm not sure about that,

346
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:29,359
Speaker 1: but I gotta try it on the first car I

347
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:33,880
Speaker 1: get clary. I gotta thank you, sir, very very very

348
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 1: happy to be They're glad to be of help, and

349
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:36,959
Speaker 1: that you have a good rest of the day. I'm

350
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:39,000
Speaker 1: running any in the car. Doctor. We are back right

351
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:52,640
Speaker 1: after this when the family car needs some fixing. There's

352
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:55,440
Speaker 1: only two things that really matter, getting the right part

353
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:58,679
Speaker 1: and getting some good advice. It's a pretty safe bet that,

354
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:01,360
Speaker 1: with over a million parts in stock, pet Boys has

355
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:04,360
Speaker 1: the right part right now. The pet Boys Pros are

356
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 1: extensively trained to find the right part for just about

357
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:10,520
Speaker 1: any car truck. Better yet, these pros can also handle

358
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 1: the entire installation or service needed. It's always good to

359
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:16,159
Speaker 1: have options and no the pet Boys Pros have it

360
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 1: covered either way. I printed out here welcome back at

361
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:36,639
Speaker 1: the Toronto Ainian. By the way to the car doctor,

362
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:39,440
Speaker 1: I printed out, I went into the database, I logged

363
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 1: into the shop. I had a chance. I printed out

364
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 1: the description of how that rear video camera works on

365
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 1: Larry's Tahoe from Florida that we just had up um.

366
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 1: It's it's really interesting because I was curious to see,

367
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:51,920
Speaker 1: you know, what the operation was. When the vehicles placed

368
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:54,119
Speaker 1: in reverse while the engine is running, the body control

369
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 1: module listen to the technology and this is just a

370
00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:58,880
Speaker 1: simple thing. The body control modules sends a twelve volt

371
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:01,720
Speaker 1: signal to the rear view can. This signal indicates that

372
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:05,199
Speaker 1: the rear vision camera operation is required. Upon receipt of

373
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 1: this signal, the camera will begin the power up CYCLEST

374
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 1: serial data message is also received by the navigation radio

375
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:14,080
Speaker 1: indicating the vehicle is in reversed upon receipt of this message,

376
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 1: and the the navigation radio will also begin a power up

377
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:18,920
Speaker 1: cycle for the display. The rear vision camera transmits the

378
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:22,080
Speaker 1: video signal to the navigation radio through discrete positive and

379
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:24,919
Speaker 1: negative signal circuits and metallic foil. In cases, the signal

380
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 1: circuits and are tied to a shield ground circuit. This

381
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:31,479
Speaker 1: shield is designed to reduce electronic interference which may degrade

382
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 1: the video signal and cause it distorted or otherwise degraded image.

383
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:37,360
Speaker 1: A simple backup camera. Look at what we're doing here,

384
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:40,640
Speaker 1: Um remember going to the moon? What fifty years ago?

385
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:43,720
Speaker 1: Sixty years ago, nineteen sixty and one. Look at that technology.

386
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:46,119
Speaker 1: Look how far we've come. We probably can't get that

387
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:48,400
Speaker 1: back to the moon anymore, but we sure got any

388
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:50,800
Speaker 1: backup cameras on our vehicles. Let's get on over and

389
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:53,359
Speaker 1: let's go talk to George and West Hartford, Connecticut. George,

390
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:54,840
Speaker 1: welcome to the car. Doctor, sir, how can I help?

391
00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for taking my call. Run My

392
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:01,640
Speaker 1: question to you is, um, I haven't ow eight Highlander

393
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 1: with Miles. I'd like to put a you know, a

394
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:07,960
Speaker 1: new spare tire in his car because the spirit is

395
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,399
Speaker 1: pretty worn. And with my luck, it would happen on

396
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:12,280
Speaker 1: a Friday night and then I couldn't get back to

397
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:15,879
Speaker 1: my mechanic, you know, until Monday, flat Friday at three

398
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:20,200
Speaker 1: o'clock on the Friday at three o'clock in the afternoon. Um, yeah, exactly.

399
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 1: My My thing is this being an all wheel drive vehicle,

400
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:27,000
Speaker 1: when I put a new spare, is it okay that

401
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 1: I'm you know, if I'm putting a different brand and

402
00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:32,239
Speaker 1: also to tire as different tread you know, being like

403
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:34,919
Speaker 1: you know, a temporary spare thing for the weekend. And

404
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:37,439
Speaker 1: that's my question to you. You know, it's it's a

405
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 1: yes and no answer, George. It's there's there's no definition.

406
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:45,080
Speaker 1: If if I had the option, what I would probably

407
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:47,399
Speaker 1: tell you to do is, you know, how how are

408
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:50,919
Speaker 1: the tires that are on the truck now they have

409
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:55,680
Speaker 1: about them? Okay, so you know that being said, then yeah,

410
00:21:55,920 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 1: come as close to matching what you could or you know,

411
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:03,720
Speaker 1: what I also think about is and and obviously you know,

412
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:06,400
Speaker 1: maybe the next maybe the next set of tires, if

413
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 1: if there is the next set of tires, and twenty

414
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:10,040
Speaker 1: thousand miles or whatever it takes to where these out.

415
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:13,240
Speaker 1: Maybe you buy five, and you buy five together, and

416
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 1: you know, then at least you're set for the next

417
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:18,560
Speaker 1: whatever duration or you know, cycle of the vehicle. But you,

418
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:20,639
Speaker 1: you know, you bring up a good point in that

419
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 1: a lot of people don't think about their spare tire.

420
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:26,320
Speaker 1: And I've received a few emails about this of late,

421
00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:28,960
Speaker 1: and I guess I should take the moment to you know,

422
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:30,879
Speaker 1: and thanks for bringing this up, Georgia, like it's a

423
00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:33,560
Speaker 1: good conversation to have here on here that we forget

424
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 1: about the spare. The spare is sort of like the

425
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 1: Rodney danger field of the card. It's just the part

426
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:39,800
Speaker 1: that we give no respect and no thought to until

427
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:41,960
Speaker 1: we need it. When, as you say, we get that

428
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,200
Speaker 1: flat on Friday and we can't get back to our mechanic,

429
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:48,440
Speaker 1: what do you do? I think short term, I think

430
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 1: anything around black that holds there would work for you.

431
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 1: All right? The question is where will you be when

432
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 1: you get that flat? Will you be you know you

433
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:59,040
Speaker 1: live in West Hart, Connecticut. Will you be in Miami, Florida?

434
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:01,439
Speaker 1: You know it's will be able to get back to

435
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:03,680
Speaker 1: your mechanical where you have to buy a replacement tire

436
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 1: down there, and then will they have that tire down

437
00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:10,159
Speaker 1: in Florida? And yeah, you know, General is a good tire,

438
00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:12,760
Speaker 1: Good Years a good tire, Firestone is a good tire.

439
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:16,400
Speaker 1: Michelin is a good tire. But the reality is all

440
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:20,840
Speaker 1: the manufacturers have slightly different casing sizes, and they're all

441
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:24,960
Speaker 1: just a little bit different diameter, and they can It

442
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:28,840
Speaker 1: is known that on all wheel drive vehicles that different

443
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:34,480
Speaker 1: mixing and matching different tires can affect operation, can shorten

444
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:38,119
Speaker 1: component life, can affect a bunch of things. So you know,

445
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:40,879
Speaker 1: if I were you, you know, and I'm not a

446
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:44,000
Speaker 1: fan of used tires, but you know, maybe your tire

447
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:46,160
Speaker 1: guy's got or whatever model tire you have on there

448
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:48,480
Speaker 1: with somewhere to it. For some reason, he's got an

449
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:50,399
Speaker 1: extra one kicking around and you throw that in the trunk.

450
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 1: Is the spare um, you know, And I'm again, I'm

451
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:55,240
Speaker 1: not I'm not a I'm not a huge fan of

452
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:58,119
Speaker 1: the used tire concept. But he could surely look at

453
00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 1: the date code and tell you, hey, George, is tire

454
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:02,159
Speaker 1: is to three years old. We just got it in

455
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:05,240
Speaker 1: from Mr Jones, who then you know he needed three

456
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:07,480
Speaker 1: and he had an extra one or whatever the case

457
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:11,000
Speaker 1: might be. Um that being said, I would buy something

458
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:14,520
Speaker 1: of the same brand of what you have on the car.

459
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:16,560
Speaker 1: So at least you know, we can try and be

460
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:18,440
Speaker 1: as certain we can't the case size is the same

461
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:22,600
Speaker 1: and as close to the tread as we possibly can, uh,

462
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:25,040
Speaker 1: you know, And again I like your way of thinking.

463
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:27,320
Speaker 1: You know, it's the tires worn out. Let's let's let's

464
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 1: get ready now and let's be sure because as you know,

465
00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 1: as they say, winter is coming, it's gonna be a

466
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:37,960
Speaker 1: long winter, right And another quick question of how how

467
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:40,960
Speaker 1: long in your opinion, you know, let's say you don't

468
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 1: hit the mileage whatever you know the warranty is, when

469
00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:47,720
Speaker 1: should you be thinking about changing their tires? You know,

470
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:50,120
Speaker 1: what do you see a real world situation? And how

471
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:53,080
Speaker 1: long do they last? You know, I think the industry

472
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:55,000
Speaker 1: and I'm trying to remember the data is it's six years.

473
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:57,439
Speaker 1: It's it's somewhere between six and eight years. And I

474
00:24:57,440 --> 00:24:58,840
Speaker 1: forget the number off the top of my head, and

475
00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:01,439
Speaker 1: I should probably know what shame on me. But at

476
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:04,560
Speaker 1: six to eight years in terms of you know, beyond

477
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:06,880
Speaker 1: where the point where the tire is considered safe anymore.

478
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 1: But you know that's not my only barometer. Tires, to

479
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 1: me are a very unique individual thing everybody. You know,

480
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:15,720
Speaker 1: people will come to me and say, hey, if I

481
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:18,199
Speaker 1: buy this tire, how many miles will I get out

482
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 1: of it? I don't know. What do you do for

483
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:22,120
Speaker 1: a living? You know, how often you're gonna rotate them?

484
00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:24,240
Speaker 1: What's the balance? How often is the tire air How

485
00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:26,360
Speaker 1: how often is a tire air pressure checked. There's there's

486
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:29,320
Speaker 1: a half a dozen factors that that extenders short in

487
00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:33,040
Speaker 1: the life of the tire. Then I've had cars with Michelin,

488
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:35,560
Speaker 1: which I think is a good tire dry rotten two

489
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:37,840
Speaker 1: years because of environment. And then I've had you know,

490
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:40,679
Speaker 1: cars with some of the cheaper, no name, you know,

491
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:43,640
Speaker 1: off the shelf tires that last, you know, seven years,

492
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:46,280
Speaker 1: again because of environment. It's a lot of it has

493
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:50,120
Speaker 1: to do with environment. I think when it comes time

494
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:52,960
Speaker 1: to pick a tire, I think you've got to also

495
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:55,000
Speaker 1: consider the fact that where are you gonna be when

496
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:58,239
Speaker 1: you need that one replacement and how easy is it

497
00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:00,200
Speaker 1: going to be to get that one replaced it. I

498
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:03,639
Speaker 1: always encourage everybody you have to ask the question, is

499
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:06,080
Speaker 1: this a very new model tire that you're selling me

500
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 1: or is it last year's tire or two years ago

501
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:12,960
Speaker 1: model tire? That's why it's so cheap, and nobody seems

502
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:16,280
Speaker 1: to understand that. You know, if if if Michelin makes

503
00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:18,480
Speaker 1: a tire for whatever reason, you know it's a Model

504
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:20,480
Speaker 1: A and it's it's a hundred and fifty dollars, and

505
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:22,280
Speaker 1: three years goes by and they're phasing it out to

506
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:24,480
Speaker 1: bring in the Model Bees. Now that a hundred and

507
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:26,600
Speaker 1: fifty dollar tire is now a hundred and twenty five,

508
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:28,440
Speaker 1: people will go, well, I'll save the twenty five bucks,

509
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:31,800
Speaker 1: I'll buy that Model BE tire. But is that because

510
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:35,480
Speaker 1: or that Model A tire is that? Does that mean

511
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:38,640
Speaker 1: that two years later when they suffer a flat, those

512
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:42,000
Speaker 1: Model A tires are no longer around because they've been

513
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:43,960
Speaker 1: phased out, taken over by the Model Bees, which have

514
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:46,600
Speaker 1: a slightly different trade, which don't alloy to mix and

515
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:50,160
Speaker 1: match them together. Tires really got to be complicated when

516
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:53,520
Speaker 1: we had all wheel drive, front wheel drive, and traction control,

517
00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:55,280
Speaker 1: the whole little things that we add at the cars.

518
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:58,840
Speaker 1: Over the last fifteen years, tires became a very technical,

519
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:01,880
Speaker 1: involved conversation. That used to be. Oh, you know, there

520
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:04,120
Speaker 1: was how many tire choices were there in the sixties,

521
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:11,000
Speaker 1: was a good Year, Firestone, Michelin, Dunlap, Tiger Paw, how many?

522
00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:13,760
Speaker 1: I don't think there was six or eight tire companies

523
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:15,119
Speaker 1: in the sixties that I could think of off the

524
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:18,800
Speaker 1: top of my head. That we're real tire companies per se. Today,

525
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:21,919
Speaker 1: you know, there there's so many tire companies. There's so

526
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 1: many choices, there's so many different styles of tires, summer tires,

527
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 1: all season, winter tires. Uh. You know, it's it's a

528
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:32,280
Speaker 1: very complicated, involved, involved conversation. Look at us. We just

529
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 1: spent eight minutes talking about tires and we only we

530
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:38,320
Speaker 1: only scratched the surface. So um. But you know that's

531
00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:40,040
Speaker 1: the story. That's what I would look for for in

532
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:43,960
Speaker 1: your spare. All right, thank you so much for your opinion.

533
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 1: Run You're very welcome. Thank you you too, sir. You

534
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:48,119
Speaker 1: have a great afternoon. I'm running any in the car

535
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:51,560
Speaker 1: doctor eight five zero nine zero zero. I'll be back

536
00:27:51,680 --> 00:28:02,320
Speaker 1: right after this. Welcome back. Why don't they need the

537
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:06,080
Speaker 1: car doctor here at zero? Don't you get to check

538
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:08,040
Speaker 1: out the Car Doctors Facebook page as well as Car

539
00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:11,280
Speaker 1: Doctors show dot com. Troy and Maine, Oh four GMC,

540
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:15,639
Speaker 1: How can I help you today, sir, Hey, Ron, thanks

541
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:21,480
Speaker 1: for taking my call. Okay, so we've had this problem

542
00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:24,159
Speaker 1: for a little while now. Basically what happens is is

543
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:29,480
Speaker 1: after taking a left turn, we've found that the car

544
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:35,280
Speaker 1: it powers down, no alarms, no check engine light comes on,

545
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:39,440
Speaker 1: it just loses power completely. And we brought it to

546
00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:41,840
Speaker 1: the mechanics and they say, okay, well, we'll change the

547
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:45,640
Speaker 1: fuel filter, will change the fuel pump, we'll change the oil,

548
00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 1: will do a scan on it and see if it

549
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:53,360
Speaker 1: changes or see if it it does anything. And nobody

550
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:56,080
Speaker 1: has been able to fix the issue. So now we're

551
00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:59,520
Speaker 1: we're kind of sitting on a vehicle that doesn't run

552
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:03,120
Speaker 1: very well, and it could be a reliable vehicle, but

553
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:08,800
Speaker 1: that's what we stand with it now. When it stalls, Troy,

554
00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:12,440
Speaker 1: is it as if somebody turned the key off? Is

555
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:18,720
Speaker 1: it just and boom? Yeah? Yeah? Literally, And like I said,

556
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:23,920
Speaker 1: the dash powers down and it just stalls. It doesn't.

557
00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 1: It doesn't. It's not like the fuel is trying to

558
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:31,960
Speaker 1: get into it. It just do the dashlights come on?

559
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:39,040
Speaker 1: No dashlights go off completely when they look at it

560
00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:41,800
Speaker 1: on a scan tool. And I've got to I've got

561
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:43,080
Speaker 1: a place that i want to send you to look

562
00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:45,080
Speaker 1: at something, but i want to just talk about it

563
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:48,080
Speaker 1: for a second. Um when when you when you look

564
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:50,640
Speaker 1: at something on a scan tool and a lot of

565
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:54,400
Speaker 1: people forget this that they'll look and they'll see, you know, codes,

566
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:56,680
Speaker 1: no codes, Hey, there's no codes. Okay, it's not a

567
00:29:56,720 --> 00:30:00,520
Speaker 1: computer related issue. But a scan tool you a lot

568
00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:02,520
Speaker 1: of stuff. It's just you know, it's just you gotta

569
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:07,080
Speaker 1: know where to look. Computers, car computers have learned values

570
00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:09,239
Speaker 1: fuel trim. Fuel trims are great. I can do a

571
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:12,400
Speaker 1: lot with fuel trim. Fuel trim will change and vary

572
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:15,320
Speaker 1: as the car, you know, gets gets mileage on it,

573
00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:18,960
Speaker 1: it will it will fluctuate as you operate it, and

574
00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:22,120
Speaker 1: you know, you can shut the car off. I'm sorry,

575
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:23,800
Speaker 1: I take the car for a ride, you'll see short

576
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:27,440
Speaker 1: term fuel trim of eight percent, nine percent, long term

577
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:30,320
Speaker 1: fuel trim of five percent. It will constantly fluctuate and

578
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:31,840
Speaker 1: monitor and then the next time you have to take

579
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:35,200
Speaker 1: the car, short term fuel trim might be five percent,

580
00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:37,520
Speaker 1: but long term fuel trim is still five percent Because

581
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:43,120
Speaker 1: it's a learned value after after that car stalls. I

582
00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 1: think one of the things I would do is I

583
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:46,560
Speaker 1: took up a scan tool without starting it and just

584
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:50,040
Speaker 1: turn the key on and then started and see where

585
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:53,160
Speaker 1: fuel trim is. If I see fuel trim at zero,

586
00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:58,280
Speaker 1: I know that the PCM lost power. Right, It's the

587
00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:03,800
Speaker 1: same thing as disconnecting the batter right. Think about it, right,

588
00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:05,640
Speaker 1: think about it you want to and if you want

589
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:07,000
Speaker 1: to see an example of it, you want to play

590
00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 1: around with a scan tool, take some readings with a

591
00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:12,880
Speaker 1: scan tool. Some things that change fuel trim um you know,

592
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:15,200
Speaker 1: maybe you know maybe some of the maybe some of

593
00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:19,640
Speaker 1: the UM throttle adaptives as far as for throttle body

594
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:24,120
Speaker 1: and um position and disconnect the battery. Be prepared. You

595
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:25,360
Speaker 1: might have to do a few things. You have to

596
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:27,520
Speaker 1: clean the throttle body and you know, go through adaptive

597
00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:32,320
Speaker 1: relearn and stuff and watch the the the the parameters

598
00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:35,200
Speaker 1: will set to zero. Because it's as if the PCM

599
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:38,800
Speaker 1: lost power. Power comes in the way of many forms

600
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:41,040
Speaker 1: on the car. It's power and ground. It could be

601
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:45,160
Speaker 1: losing power, it could be losing ground. What I see

602
00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:50,120
Speaker 1: very common on this generation vehicle is if you look

603
00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:53,600
Speaker 1: behind and it's in the worst possible place. It's just

604
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:57,160
Speaker 1: forget it. You'll never find it. Take a mirror and

605
00:31:57,280 --> 00:32:00,960
Speaker 1: look behind the engine back in the days when when, when,

606
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:02,640
Speaker 1: when God was young and I was a kid, and

607
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:05,480
Speaker 1: dirt was just invented, when engines had distributors in the

608
00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:09,160
Speaker 1: back of the block, like a small block Chevy, all right,

609
00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:11,880
Speaker 1: there used to be an oil pressure switch back there.

610
00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:15,000
Speaker 1: And if you're familiar with that particular setup, you're looking

611
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:17,680
Speaker 1: in the same general area in the back of the block.

612
00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:19,920
Speaker 1: But what would be the left side of the engine

613
00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:22,480
Speaker 1: block or I'm sorry, the passenger side of the engine block.

614
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:27,240
Speaker 1: You're looking for ground one oh three G one oh three,

615
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:30,600
Speaker 1: which comes in on the on the on the back

616
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:33,800
Speaker 1: area of the block. And what happens is that ground

617
00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:36,800
Speaker 1: starts to fray over time, and then you'll get the

618
00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:38,920
Speaker 1: guy that he makes a left or right turn. Usually

619
00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:41,080
Speaker 1: it is a left turn, and it just pulls on

620
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:43,520
Speaker 1: the engine enough strain of the harness, you know, motor

621
00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:45,920
Speaker 1: mounts a sag a little bit over time, and it

622
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:48,680
Speaker 1: starts to just become such a load that that there's

623
00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:51,440
Speaker 1: usually it's down to one strand of copper on the

624
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:55,080
Speaker 1: ground and it can't. It can't support the electrical circuit

625
00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:57,440
Speaker 1: and the PCM. That's the main ground for the PCM.

626
00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:02,800
Speaker 1: See you shuts the car right off, all right, um,

627
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:05,120
Speaker 1: But while you're back there, look at ground one oh three,

628
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:07,240
Speaker 1: which is on the one side of the block, and

629
00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:09,720
Speaker 1: ground one oh four, which is the other side of

630
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:12,240
Speaker 1: the block. You're gonna see two wiring harness grounds back there.

631
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:14,800
Speaker 1: One goes to a bell housing bolt. The other one

632
00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:16,880
Speaker 1: goes to the back of the cylinder head. Take a

633
00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:18,840
Speaker 1: look at those. Make sure they're good, clean and tight.

634
00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:21,040
Speaker 1: Give them a gentle tug. If they break off in

635
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:23,840
Speaker 1: your hand, don't feel bad that was the problem, and

636
00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:27,840
Speaker 1: then fix it all right, sir? And and how do

637
00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:32,000
Speaker 1: I if the ground is bad? Do I just replace

638
00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:34,600
Speaker 1: that cable right there? Or no, you'll have to you'll

639
00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:36,840
Speaker 1: have to solder a new island on some kind of

640
00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:40,520
Speaker 1: an extension harness or an extension ground. And uh um,

641
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:42,520
Speaker 1: just clean it up. And the easiest thing to do

642
00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:43,960
Speaker 1: if you want to see if it's fixed is tap

643
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:46,280
Speaker 1: in with a jumper wire. Go ground right to the

644
00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:48,160
Speaker 1: negative battery post. Take the car for a right. If

645
00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:50,400
Speaker 1: the car doesn't do it anymore, you know you're onto something.

646
00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:55,120
Speaker 1: All right, thank you very much, very welcome. I gotta

647
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:57,000
Speaker 1: run there up against the clock. You have a good day.

648
00:33:57,040 --> 00:33:58,720
Speaker 1: I'm on Anny in the car doctor. I'll be back

649
00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:08,960
Speaker 1: right after this shut out talking. That's right, Ron and

650
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:11,080
Speaker 1: Ay in the car doctor here. Um. We started this.

651
00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:14,279
Speaker 1: We started this hour doing uh doing um cameras talking

652
00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:16,160
Speaker 1: about cameras on cars. Right, We're gonna finish this hour

653
00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:18,880
Speaker 1: talking about cameras on cars in a sense, GM tops

654
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:21,840
Speaker 1: Tesla and ranking ab automotive driving systems. This comes to

655
00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:24,120
Speaker 1: us from our in the field reporters, Sarah Guildner of

656
00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:28,279
Speaker 1: UM Guildner of Gortis Capital, Godis Capitol dot com. UH.

657
00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:31,720
Speaker 1: Consumer Reports tested for the most popular automated driving systems.

658
00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:34,640
Speaker 1: The report says Cadillac Super Cruise does the best job

659
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:37,719
Speaker 1: of monitoring if drivers are paying attention when they take

660
00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:40,280
Speaker 1: their hands off the steering wheel. As more ordermakers develop

661
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:42,759
Speaker 1: automated driving systems that allowed drivers take their hands off

662
00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:45,319
Speaker 1: the wheel for short periods of time, General Motors has

663
00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:48,200
Speaker 1: the best system. Consumer Reports tested for the more popular

664
00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:50,960
Speaker 1: and said Cadillac Super Cruise does the best job. Super

665
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:53,600
Speaker 1: Cruise doesn't know what this does. Super Cruise has a

666
00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:58,080
Speaker 1: camera that looks at the driver's eyes and warns them

667
00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:00,880
Speaker 1: if they look away for too long or fall asleep.

668
00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:04,000
Speaker 1: And that's a game changer, says Jake Fisher, director of

669
00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:06,719
Speaker 1: Voto Testing and Consumer Reports. So now we've got the

670
00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:11,440
Speaker 1: car watching the driver and telling the driver, hey, dummy,

671
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:14,839
Speaker 1: wake up. Um you know, and and and they're doing

672
00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:18,040
Speaker 1: it because they actually vibrate the seat. They'll shake the

673
00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:20,839
Speaker 1: seat at certain times and you know, do different things

674
00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:22,880
Speaker 1: if your head tilts, if your neck tilts. They've had

675
00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:24,400
Speaker 1: that for a while, but now this is the first

676
00:35:24,719 --> 00:35:26,680
Speaker 1: they're looking into the eyes. And the article then goes

677
00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:28,759
Speaker 1: on and talks about, um, you know, some of the

678
00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:32,440
Speaker 1: advantages that GM has over everybody else. Tesla is the

679
00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:37,120
Speaker 1: second most effective, Nissan is third, and um uh, Volvo

680
00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:39,640
Speaker 1: is the least effective of the forward tested. Well, that's

681
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:43,120
Speaker 1: not a surprise. It's Volvo. Um you know. Very I'm

682
00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:46,719
Speaker 1: looking to hitular objects, but look at the technology. It's

683
00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:48,799
Speaker 1: just it's just clambering around. Hey, um, I want to

684
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:50,160
Speaker 1: do a quick shout out and say thank you to

685
00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:52,839
Speaker 1: Jeff Firestone, assistant producer for The Car Doctor, as he

686
00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:54,799
Speaker 1: helped out a great deal today. Until the next time,

687
00:35:54,840 --> 00:36:02,919
Speaker 1: good mechanics aren't expensive, they're priceless. See you the SEC
