1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:04,040
Speaker 1: Ronan, in the first ninety thousand miles, you will spend

2
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:08,560
Speaker 1: a minimum of three thousand dollars of maintenance. And I'm thinking,

3
00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:12,840
Speaker 1: isn't that excessive? And say, yeah, we'll let get a

4
00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:19,720
Speaker 1: jack do Yeah, let's drink. Yeah, I can find me.

6
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:27,600
Speaker 1: do you want the truck? It's twenty years old. I'm

7
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:30,560
Speaker 1: not saying it's not worth fixing. I'm just saying, don't

8
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:32,920

Speaker 1: winter car care and winter prep. And Kevin is from Minnesota,

31
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:41,320
Speaker 1: so I think on a day like today, when it's

32
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 1: snowing in most parts of the country, he's got some

33
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 1: comments to make that we're all gonna sit there and go, yeah,

34
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 1: that makes sense. Last week, if you recall if you're

35
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 1: if you're a regular listeners to the Car Doctor, last

36
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 1: week our hero made comments about if your call. I

37
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 1: was talking about the wallet flush, and you know how

38
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 1: you go into certain dealerships and you buy this new

39
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 1: car and your car ends up get serviced and repaired,

40
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 1: and um, you know it's it's excessive what I thought

41
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 1: was in some cases excessive recommendations for maintenance. Steve Rosenthal,

42
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 1: regular Car Doctor listener and Steve won't care if he

43
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 1: was his last name or not. As a matter of fact,

44
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 1: he'd like it if somebody came to visit him, he'd

45
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 1: probably shoot him, um, if they gave him a hard time.

46
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 1: Steve's a great guy. I've talked to Steven, had a

47
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,920
Speaker 1: pleasure of meeting with him on occasion over the course

48
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 1: of the years. And um, Steve's got some comments that

49
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 1: I want to bring up the light. He wrote me

50
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,800
Speaker 1: a letter on regarding the maintenance schedule refer at the

51
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 1: top of the first hour. I just revisited the dealer

52
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:34,080
Speaker 1: to schedule fluid exchanges, all around breaks, coolant trans and

53
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 1: oil change. The milege will be seventy one thousands civic

54
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,360
Speaker 1: three years in one week. On the service writer said,

55
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 1: now you don't need to do the coolant it goes

56
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 1: seven years and a hund thousand miles. Nope, I said,

57
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 1: Steve writes, this is and will be the third time

58
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 1: for all of these services, oil and filter at every

59
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 1: three to four So I think there is also a

60
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 1: tendency to recommend less maintenance than his ideal. I think

61
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 1: that the ideal inner val for the fluids is thirty

62
00:02:56,520 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 1: thousand miles. I do drive the car hard, extended idle ling,

63
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 1: rapid acceleration and idling of upwards to three hours. Uh.

64
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 1: You know, Steve makes some great points, and I guess

65
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 1: there's a balance in that, and I wanted to present

66
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 1: that because you know, I like to put your opinions

67
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 1: here on the air. That's what this radio show is

68
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:18,239
Speaker 1: really all about. But Steve makes some great points to that.

69
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,800
Speaker 1: You know, what is the right scenario, what is the

70
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 1: correct interval from maintaining a fluid And I think it

71
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 1: comes down to there's and I've said this for years,

72
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 1: there's manufacturer's world, there's dealer's world, and then there's real world.

73
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 1: And I think real world takes a little bit from

74
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 1: both and it's somewhere in the middle. It's how you

75
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 1: drive the cards, what you do to the car. My

76
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 1: point with last week's comments were don't buy a service

77
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 1: package that talks about replacing a fuel filter at fifteen

78
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 1: thousand miles if your car doesn't have one, And that

79
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 1: was part of what I don't think I hit it

80
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 1: hard enough last week, But a lot of these service

81
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 1: packages that are being sold talk about things that are

82
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 1: gen eric. They don't take into account that the car

83
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 1: doesn't have Not every car has a fuel filter that's

84
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 1: replaceable anymore. Not every car has a cabin filter. We

85
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 1: worked on AMC Sierra Denali yesterday, nice truck six six

86
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:18,600
Speaker 1: Dormax Diesel didn't have a cabin filter. And when we

87
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:20,840
Speaker 1: sat down and I plugged in the VN went through

88
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 1: the GM catalog. The GM catalog wasn't sure if it

89
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 1: had a cabin filter or not. Went through and talk

90
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 1: to my guys at GM. They weren't sure if the

91
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 1: car had a cabin filter. We ended up having to

92
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 1: do a physical inspection. It turns out there is a

93
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 1: service kit available if you want to install the cabin

94
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,480
Speaker 1: filter in this vehicle, and from there you can then

95
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 1: go ahead and and you know cabin filters. From that

96
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 1: point on, My point is it's it's not all cut

97
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,279
Speaker 1: and dry. Everything is a little bit unique. So I

98
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:52,039
Speaker 1: don't see how they can come up with these wallet

99
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 1: flush service schedules that are so generic and not specific

100
00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 1: to the vehicle. And just just be mindful when you

101
00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 1: go and get your car service. Steve, as always, buddy,

102
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 1: I appreciate the comments, keep them coming, and uh, keep

103
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 1: us all on the straight and narrow. So anyhow, this

104
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 1: is the Car Doctor of The phone number is eight

105
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 1: five zero nine zero. There's a long list of callers

106
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 1: backed up. Let's kick the garage doors open and go

107
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:19,479
Speaker 1: to Greg in San Clemente and see what's going on here, Craig.

108
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Car Doctor. Sir, How can I help? Hey?

109
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 1: Thanks there? Um, I have an old pathfinder that's got

110
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 1: a two or three thousand miles on it, and I

111
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:32,040
Speaker 1: need to get a pickup truck. I've determined that. Okay.

112
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 1: I was wondering your thoughts on the Dodge Echo Diesels,

113
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 1: and I was also kind of considering a Toyota Tacoma. Um,

114
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 1: just one of what your thoughts are about the Echo Diesels,

115
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 1: name like, you know who who's gonna work on it? Greg?

116
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 1: These days I think anything new, I don't. I don't

117
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 1: know if I could, if I could do anything to it, Well,

118
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 1: you probably like to, so you probably can't not And

119
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 1: I don't know what to do for a living. And

120
00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 1: I'm not saying you're incompetent. I'm just saying you probably

121
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 1: can't because you won't have the tools. So that that

122
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 1: being said, who's gonna work on it? Dealer or an independent?

123
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 1: I guess I mean, if I bought new, I since

124
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:14,679
Speaker 1: you end up getting some kind of dealer warranty stuff

125
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 1: for a while, but most likely I'd probably end up

126
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:19,160
Speaker 1: going independent at some point. I mean I can. I'm

127
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:21,280
Speaker 1: pretty handy myself. I mean, I've done all my work

128
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:23,919
Speaker 1: and my path finder. I'm coming up for a timing

129
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 1: belt and I just don't feel like doing it like

130
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,159
Speaker 1: I need to. I just need to replace this truck

131
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 1: that kind of well, and let me let me working

132
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 1: for let me let me let me try looking at

133
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:34,920
Speaker 1: it like this. Okay, Um, what do you do for

134
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 1: a living, Greg, Uh, I'm basically construction management. So you

135
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 1: know you're good with your hands. You're a smart guy.

136
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 1: I get that. Um, there are things you just can't

137
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 1: do on a late model vehicle without a scantl and

138
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 1: and the cost for you to do them becomes prohibitive.

139
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 1: So you know, one of the things I always encourage

140
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 1: people to think about when they're buying a vehicle is

141
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 1: who's gonna work on it? Where's your comfort zone? All right?

142
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 1: Picking a mechanic is getting to the point where it's

143
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 1: like picking a life partner. You know, you gotta find

144
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 1: somebody it really is you gotta find somebody you're comfortable with,

145
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 1: and you gotta find somebody that you can connect to

146
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 1: because you know, so many times the questions I get

147
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 1: both here and at the shop indicate to me that

148
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 1: people have a huge level of discomfort in in speaking

149
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 1: to a mechanic, and you know, that becomes an issue. So,

150
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 1: you know, I think the decision both good vehicles. I'll

151
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 1: say it like this, both good vehicles. But I think

152
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 1: you've got to really make the choice or the call

153
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 1: of you know, who's gonna work on it and how

154
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 1: comfortable are you being that way? Uh, you know, you

155
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 1: know who's been working on the Pathfinder up to now.

156
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 1: Do you have a relationship with an independent shop right now? Oh? No,

157
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:58,240
Speaker 1: That's always been me. I mean I've ranched on all

158
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 1: my vehicles entire life, and I have for the past

159
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 1: five years. I've had a company of vehicle Dodge ram

160
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 1: first out of twelve that I put two miles on

161
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 1: from work driving, and uh, my past Finder basically has

162
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 1: sat for five years pretty much. And uh the Dodge

163
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know. I mean I take it

164
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 1: to the fleet mechanic and have him do stuff, and

165
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 1: I even realized stuff that he's done. That's kind of

166
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 1: hasn't worked out like I've had some transmission issues. Actually

167
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 1: I've had has had a transmission issue, and um, you know,

168
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:35,679
Speaker 1: I just seems like the newer cars there are a

169
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:40,199
Speaker 1: lot harder to work on a regular guy. Absolutely, listen,

170
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,119
Speaker 1: they're a lot harder to work on for the professional.

171
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:44,079
Speaker 1: I look at what I go through in the shop,

172
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 1: you know, I should have a camera set up in

173
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 1: the shop recording video because if you guys, if you

174
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:49,960
Speaker 1: guys saw what I was going through. Now in the

175
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:53,959
Speaker 1: last six weeks, I'm revamping the shop. So in between

176
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:56,440
Speaker 1: doing a radio show, working on cars, running the place,

177
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 1: running hurt on Danny, keeping the place going all right,

178
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,719
Speaker 1: also revamping, I'm throwing out scan tools, I'm putting in

179
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 1: new ones, I'm changing pulling down peg boards, I'm rearranging

180
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 1: the back room. I'm cleaning house. I'm getting ready for

181
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 1: and beyond because the change in the car is so

182
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 1: dramatic nobody even sees it coming yet. I'm not saying

183
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 1: I'm I'm some psychic that I but I just I

184
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 1: can smell it. It's coming. It's it's it's you know.

185
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 1: When I'm standing at the fender. You know, the other day,

186
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 1: I'm leaning against the bench um fixing a car wirelessly

187
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 1: with a scan tool doing a flash. I'm going, what

188
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 1: is this? You know, what happened to you know? I

189
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 1: was I was somewhere and a million years ago standing

190
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 1: there with a nine sixteenth wrench, a half in s

191
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 1: wrench doing a water pump on a small block Chevy

192
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 1: and I was sixteen years old. Where did all this

193
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:50,200
Speaker 1: come from? Yeah? Yeah, no, I missed. I missed those days.

194
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 1: I mean, that's to me, that's part of the problem

195
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 1: that I see with that. I'm worried about this Eco

196
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 1: Diesel thing because it's basically a new engine and it's

197
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:01,959
Speaker 1: you know, it's got to have all kinds of electronics

198
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:05,679
Speaker 1: and whatnot, which everything does, I mean, what doesn't. But

199
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:09,200
Speaker 1: but it just seems like there's you know, there's so

200
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:12,440
Speaker 1: much number crunching to get mileage out of this thing.

201
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm just afraid of gas and diesel getting

202
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 1: more and more expensive, as it is more expensive out

203
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 1: here in California, and it's you know, there's a lot

204
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 1: of driving out here, like to go anywhere, you're talking

205
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 1: about an hour or two hour drive to do anything fun.

206
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 1: So think of it. Think of it like this. Sometimes

207
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:36,839
Speaker 1: simpler is better and some sometimes that. Sometimes that gas

208
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 1: truck and you know, five years and done. You know

209
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:44,839
Speaker 1: what I think about that. I wonder if we've reached

210
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 1: a level with automobiles in this country where for a while,

211
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 1: until we get until we get our minds off of

212
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:53,079
Speaker 1: the driverless car and try and deal with the ones

213
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:55,840
Speaker 1: where people are actually sitting behind the wheel. I wonder

214
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 1: if if we need to focus on simpler because we

215
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 1: we've taken things. I had to put a fuel filter

216
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:04,440
Speaker 1: in this Dramax diesel yesterday. I had to take the

217
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 1: right side front wheelwell line route. That's how I had

218
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,319
Speaker 1: to access the fuel filter. Now, the customer said he

219
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 1: used to reach up there with his hand and twisted,

220
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:14,560
Speaker 1: and I said, yeah, but that's how you break things.

221
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:17,079
Speaker 1: You can't see it. The procedure calls for pull the

222
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 1: wheelhouse out, so Ron follows. Ron follows procedure within reason

223
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:24,840
Speaker 1: to I want to see what I'm working on. What

224
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 1: is you know? What? What does this c me? Touch me?

225
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:28,560
Speaker 1: Feel me? I want to stick my hand up there

226
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 1: and hope I'm on the right thing. You know. It's

227
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:33,079
Speaker 1: like Danny says, what are we doing. We're doing bodywork. No,

228
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:35,599
Speaker 1: we're taking the fuel filter out. You gotta pull the

229
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 1: right front wheel and we're doing a wheelhouse. It's to

230
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 1: change a fuel filter. You know, diesels are great, but

231
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 1: you really gotta love him and you gotta really want

232
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 1: to do the maintenance. Greg. I enjoyed the conversation, sir.

233
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:49,959
Speaker 1: Good luck to you, and let us know what you buy.

234
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,960
Speaker 1: Will be curious to hear, and uh enjoy driving around

235
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 1: and uh, I'll probably a new Toyota eight zero zero

236
00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:58,960
Speaker 1: running any of the car Doctor coming back right after this?

237
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:29,719
Speaker 1: You find that ever came first? Hey, welcome back? When

238
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 1: to name the car doctor rolling along? Let's get over

239
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:34,520
Speaker 1: and talk to Richard in Iowa. Wrangler Richard, welcome to

240
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:38,440
Speaker 1: the car Doctor, sir. How can help? Uh? Well, I

241
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 1: haven't been able to get sparked back. The distributor was

242
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 1: bad and I could weet wiggle the shaft about an

243
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 1: eighth of an inch, so buskins were out and it

244
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 1: quit before then. And then I put a new distributor in,

245
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:54,199
Speaker 1: put a new cap, new rotor on it. Nothing. So

246
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 1: I checked the position switch her indicator, and I got

247
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 1: my five us to number one or two pins and

248
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 1: then I pulled the coil off, had took it up

249
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 1: the shop, had it checked, They said it was okay,

250
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 1: they're on their check. Put that back on and still

251
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:17,320
Speaker 1: no spark. Do you have in Do you have injector

252
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 1: pulse on the off of the one dollar that I

253
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 1: hadn't checked yet. You know, I'd be curious. I'd be

254
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 1: curious to know do you have injector pulse? If you

255
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 1: don't have injector pulse, then I'm gonna start to think

256
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:32,840
Speaker 1: in terms of, you know, do we have a problem

257
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 1: with do we have a problem with the crank position

258
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:40,199
Speaker 1: sensor or part of that harness? Um? I know it

259
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:45,319
Speaker 1: started before you did the distributor pushing work? No, no, no,

260
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:49,199
Speaker 1: I quit okay that and then I got to checking

261
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 1: things and found that distributor. Um. You know. The other

262
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 1: question I've got is do you have any kind of

263
00:13:55,640 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 1: a scanner, Richard? I'd be curious do you have communication

264
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:03,319
Speaker 1: with the scan tool? Um? If you turn the when

265
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 1: you turn the key on, does the this would have

266
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 1: had this would have had a check engine light or

267
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:15,720
Speaker 1: a service engine soon light? Um? Does that light light up? No? Okay, okay,

268
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 1: I would be curious to see as the computer awake. Um,

269
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 1: so let's not treat this is just a spark condition.

270
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 1: Let's go back through basics. Do we have spark? Do

271
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 1: we have injector pulse? Do we have fuel pressure? Do

272
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 1: we have a PCM that's awake? Don't? Don't? All of

273
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 1: those things? I cannot answer that stuff, right, But that's

274
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 1: where that's where I would go. First, no spark, and

275
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 1: I don't care what you're working on. All right, Um,

276
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:48,600
Speaker 1: if your lawnmower didn't start, all right, and you sound

277
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 1: like a guy that would tinker with your lawnmower snowblower,

278
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 1: all right, if it didn't start and it had no spark,

279
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:58,560
Speaker 1: would you just what would be the next thing you check? Well,

280
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 1: the first the first thing, The first thing I would

281
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:06,520
Speaker 1: check is either points or to make sure or let

282
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 1: me ask the question this way. If you're snow thrower

283
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 1: or one moore an start, you would check. You would

284
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:14,320
Speaker 1: do what you check see if you had gas? Right, yeah, okay,

285
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:18,080
Speaker 1: so gas, then you go for spark then because it's carbureted,

286
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 1: it's kind of like cut and dry. It's one or

287
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 1: the other. But my point, my point is you would

288
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 1: always look at the other thing, all right, You you

289
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:30,080
Speaker 1: always look at something else, so you know, this could

290
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 1: be just a spark problem. But the only way you're

291
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 1: gonna know that, and that's gonna determine what flow a

292
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 1: diagnosis to take is do you have injector pulse? Do

293
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 1: you have communication with the scan tools, the PCM wake,

294
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 1: the f fuel pressure? Yea? The if if I understanding,

295
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 1: I think can treaty on that position sensor is where

296
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 1: the injector voltage comes from? Is that correct? I don't

297
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 1: remember that off the top of my head, Richard, To

298
00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:58,440
Speaker 1: be honest with you, I'd have to look at a

299
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 1: wiring diagram. But the way I would the way I

300
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 1: would test this four injector pulses. Do you have annoyed light? Yeah? Um,

301
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:08,520
Speaker 1: just put annoyed Just do you have Do you have

302
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 1: the right annoid light for the injector connector? Okay? Well

303
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:16,040
Speaker 1: they're cheap enough. And if you're gonna tinker with something,

304
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:17,800
Speaker 1: you know, if you're gonna tinker with something, I think

305
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 1: you gotta spend a couple of bucks on tools. Get

306
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:21,720
Speaker 1: out to get out to an or. You got an

307
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 1: O'reillyota parts near you, Yeah, get out to an O'Reilly

308
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 1: oto parts and you know going and talk to them

309
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 1: and tell them you've got this model. You're jeep and

310
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 1: you're looking for annoyed n O I D annoyed light

311
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 1: tester for the injector, and they should be able to

312
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:39,200
Speaker 1: get her. You can probably find it online, you know,

313
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:41,440
Speaker 1: get out to orileyoto dot com and you'll probably see

314
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 1: it there. And the idea is doesn't blink. If it blinks,

315
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 1: well then you've got you know, you've got. You've got

316
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:50,040
Speaker 1: a signal from the PCM driving the injector. If it

317
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:53,920
Speaker 1: doesn't blink, then check one side or the other for

318
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 1: your voltage. All right, yep, and then at least you'll

319
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 1: have a direction to go. All right, sir, Okay, you

320
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 1: let me know. Okay, thank you much. You're very welcome.

321
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:07,360
Speaker 1: Let's get over to Richard. Another Richard up in Wisconsin.

322
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:10,359
Speaker 1: Ranger and a problem with shifting. Hey Richard, how are

323
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 1: you sir? How can I help? Good? How are you wrong? Good?

324
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:20,200
Speaker 1: What's going on? Unger manual transmission UM? The clutch master

325
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:23,199
Speaker 1: cylinder was replaced. I noticed UM it was hard to

326
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:27,280
Speaker 1: shift than the gears UM special in the engines running.

327
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:29,119
Speaker 1: When it's not running, I can shift the gears no

328
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:35,280
Speaker 1: problem at all un can you well? Can you can

329
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 1: you go? I'm sorry? Can you go? If you're sitting

330
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 1: there running and you pushing the clutch? Can you get

331
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:45,200
Speaker 1: it into first? Um most of the time? Yes? Okay?

332
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 1: Can you get it into reverse? Can you get it

333
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:51,240
Speaker 1: into reverse? Most of the time? I can? Yes? Okay.

334
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:54,639
Speaker 1: Can you get it into any of the other gears? Yes?

335
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:57,480
Speaker 1: All the time time? I can? So is it I guess?

336
00:17:57,520 --> 00:17:59,959
Speaker 1: I guess. The question I'm asking is is it consider

337
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 1: instantly hard to get in all the gears? Or first

338
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 1: and reverse harder than the other other three or four?

339
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 1: I would say it's it's all the gears. It sounds

340
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 1: like then either we've got a clutch problem, a mechanical

341
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:18,199
Speaker 1: clutch issue, all right, um, in the sense that the

342
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 1: clutch isn't being depressed far enough, or there is a

343
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:24,720
Speaker 1: problem with the release mechanism. That's what something mentioned, possibly

344
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:26,880
Speaker 1: that it might be too high or something. Right, The

345
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 1: key is that it won't go into reverse reverses a

346
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 1: non synchro on manual transmissions, and that's the common denominator.

347
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:35,639
Speaker 1: If it's just as hard to get in reverses first,

348
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 1: then we're starting to think about clutching mechanical clutch or

349
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 1: in this case, are the hydraulics working the way they

350
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:43,639
Speaker 1: they should be. Those clutches are a little difficult to

351
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:46,440
Speaker 1: bleed and there are some tricks to it that they've

352
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:48,120
Speaker 1: got to follow in order to get all the air out.

353
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 1: You should have a good consistent clutch pedal for the

354
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:52,720
Speaker 1: throw from top to bottom. But other than that, you

355
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:55,160
Speaker 1: want to take a look at and consider the mechanical

356
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:57,480
Speaker 1: side of the clutch. Good luck coming up next, Kevin

357
00:18:57,520 --> 00:18:59,199
Speaker 1: an Sell from three M. I'm on any of the

358
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:12,680
Speaker 1: Car Doctor. We're bad right after this. Hey, hey, welcome

359
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:14,439
Speaker 1: back Ronny in the Car Doctor. You know it's that

360
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:16,680
Speaker 1: time of year again when we're talking about winter car care.

361
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:19,719
Speaker 1: We're all gonna do some driving this snow season, as

362
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:21,359
Speaker 1: I like to think of it, because snow is a

363
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:23,560
Speaker 1: condition and it brings about the cold and it's part

364
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 1: of winter. We want to make sure the cars as

365
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:27,200
Speaker 1: ready as we are, and we thought we'd reach out

366
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:29,159
Speaker 1: to the folks over at three M. We all know

367
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 1: who they are, the automotive Giant as well as other

368
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:34,240
Speaker 1: things in the in the world. And we've got a

369
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:36,640
Speaker 1: hold of Kevin an Sell. He's a technical service engineer

370
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:38,440
Speaker 1: at three M and three M Autel. We're glad to

371
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:40,320
Speaker 1: have him with us here today. Kevin, Welcome to the

372
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 1: Car Doctor. Sir, thanks for having me. Um, tell us

373
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:45,639
Speaker 1: a little bit about your role with three M. I mean,

374
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:47,639
Speaker 1: how does a guy get to be a technical service

375
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:51,359
Speaker 1: engineer at three M. I suspect maybe you're building your

376
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:53,680
Speaker 1: passion for cars as you go. Tell us a little

377
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:55,960
Speaker 1: bit about yourself and and what exactly you do with

378
00:19:56,000 --> 00:20:00,480
Speaker 1: three M. Right, so I'm with them. May have only

379
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 1: been there about five years. Um, I started out as

380
00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 1: an intern and so I was in school. I didn't

381
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:09,720
Speaker 1: really know what part of the industry I wanted to

382
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:12,280
Speaker 1: be involved in. I was going to school for engineering,

383
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:16,600
Speaker 1: and so I got an internship at three unfortunately, and

384
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:19,399
Speaker 1: they put me in the automotive after my division. And

385
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:21,480
Speaker 1: I think this has been a really good experience for me,

386
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:23,639
Speaker 1: just to kind of build my passion for pryors and

387
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 1: try to give me more involved with the automotive industry.

388
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:29,400
Speaker 1: And and Lord knows, we need young people with passion

389
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:31,480
Speaker 1: for cars if we're going to continue what the automobile

390
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:34,960
Speaker 1: means in the American society today. UM. So that's good,

391
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:39,120
Speaker 1: that's we appreciate your efforts. Um, a guy from Minnesota.

392
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:41,920
Speaker 1: My spies tell me you're up Europe. In Minnesota, we're

393
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:45,120
Speaker 1: exactly White Lake or Owl Lake or something. I mean

394
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:47,639
Speaker 1: White fair Lake. It's just north of St. Paul, Okay.

395
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:50,399
Speaker 1: So a guy up there in Minnesota, way, you must

396
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:52,840
Speaker 1: know what cold is all about. You must feel like

397
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:55,399
Speaker 1: some days you invented snow and cold. What's what's the

398
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:59,160
Speaker 1: weather like there today? Oh? Yeah today essentially pretty nice

399
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:02,520
Speaker 1: about the third round thirty degrees um. But just a

400
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 1: couple of days ago, I was looking at the thermometer

401
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:07,160
Speaker 1: and it was twenty below and that's not even couton windshield,

402
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 1: So can get pretty cool here. Yeah, you guys kind

403
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:12,480
Speaker 1: of know what winter car care is all about. So

404
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:14,879
Speaker 1: you know, let's talk about it, the importance of winter

405
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:17,240
Speaker 1: car care, and you know what are some of the

406
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:19,960
Speaker 1: things drivers can can do to prepare their vehicles for

407
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 1: winter weather, whether it's twenty below or thirty above. So

408
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 1: absolutely one of the biggest things you need to do

409
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 1: when the temperature starts to get low is to check

410
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 1: your tire pressures. So as the temperature drops, so does

411
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:35,880
Speaker 1: the prior the pressure in your tires. So you want

412
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:39,159
Speaker 1: to make sure that you check your tires. Be it

413
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:42,840
Speaker 1: if you're looking at the pressure gauge or the sensor

414
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 1: that's on your dashboard. Uh. If that light comes on,

415
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:48,800
Speaker 1: take it to the gas station, take it to your garage.

416
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:51,520
Speaker 1: If you have an earth pressure make sure you fill

417
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:57,200
Speaker 1: up your tires to the recommended value that's recommended by manufacturer. Um.

418
00:21:57,320 --> 00:21:59,760
Speaker 1: Another thing you can do is to check your batteries,

419
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:03,480
Speaker 1: especially if your battery is over four years old. As

420
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:05,960
Speaker 1: the temperature goes down, especially like it has been here

421
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:10,280
Speaker 1: in Minnesota, your battery becomes less effective. And then as

422
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 1: it's getting cold out, uh, your engine will require more

423
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:18,919
Speaker 1: power in order to start. So with cold starting conditions

424
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:22,720
Speaker 1: and cold temperatures, old battery may not be as effective.

425
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:24,399
Speaker 1: And you definitely don't want to be less stranded in

426
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:27,280
Speaker 1: a parking lot somewhere or your carlong start there. It's

427
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:29,360
Speaker 1: no fun waiting in the cold with a dead battery.

428
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 1: I always say, July is okay if you've got a

429
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:32,760
Speaker 1: little barbecue, you can sit on the side of the

430
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:35,520
Speaker 1: road and have some shrimp. But you know, winter, winter

431
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:39,040
Speaker 1: time no fun, no fun at all, not fun. Yeah, UM,

432
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:41,080
Speaker 1: you know, go ahead, I'm sorry. I mean to interrupt

433
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:44,280
Speaker 1: you sure, So another thing you can do is to

434
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:48,240
Speaker 1: flush the cooling system and add fresh anti freeze. Don't

435
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:50,120
Speaker 1: just be tempted at to top off the anti frees

436
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:52,800
Speaker 1: from last year, because you sometimes can do more damage

437
00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:54,879
Speaker 1: than good that way. You want to make sure you

438
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 1: have a good ratio of antifrees to water to make

439
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:59,720
Speaker 1: sure you get protection for the temperature that you're kind

440
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:04,160
Speaker 1: of in ironmentes to um. Cooling is very important because

441
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:08,320
Speaker 1: it protects your engine from freezing. As liquid freezes, it

442
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 1: expands and and and crack, and that could just be

443
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:14,199
Speaker 1: a disaster. You don't want to be in that kind

444
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:18,400
Speaker 1: of situation. So it also acts as a corrosion protector here,

445
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:22,639
Speaker 1: so it prevents ross and build up inside your engine.

446
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:26,000
Speaker 1: So make sure at a very minimum that you follow

447
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:30,240
Speaker 1: your manufacturers recommendation and change the coolant as as recommended.

448
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:32,959
Speaker 1: And that's a very important point because it's you know,

449
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 1: a lot of people don't understand that the coolant will

450
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:38,159
Speaker 1: have good freeze point. They don't consider the corrosion or

451
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:41,320
Speaker 1: the acidity of the cooling breaking down causing damage from

452
00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:43,239
Speaker 1: the inside out. What can you what can you tell

453
00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:46,200
Speaker 1: us about in terms of products Kevin, what what sort

454
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 1: of things does three M have for winter car here?

455
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:51,680
Speaker 1: I'm sure you guys have more than a few right right,

456
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:54,600
Speaker 1: So as the days are getting shorter right now we

457
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 1: test the first day of winter, so the days were

458
00:23:57,359 --> 00:23:59,840
Speaker 1: actually started to get longer. Very good. But if you're

459
00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:01,479
Speaker 1: any thing like me, you're doing a lot more night

460
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:04,520
Speaker 1: time driving this time of year. It seems like for me,

461
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:07,359
Speaker 1: when I'm driving to work, it's dark out, and then

462
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:09,960
Speaker 1: when I'm driving home from work it's dark out, and

463
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:12,440
Speaker 1: so we're doing a lot of nighttime driving. We want

464
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 1: to make sure that you are able to see at

465
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:18,480
Speaker 1: night and so that your headlights are clear end functioning properly.

466
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:21,199
Speaker 1: So two different ways that you can do that. You

467
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 1: can be there changed out the light bulbs, which you

468
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:28,359
Speaker 1: know over time the lights tend to fade out, don't

469
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:31,280
Speaker 1: put out as much light or big problem that's on

470
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:33,320
Speaker 1: the road with a lot of cars today is that

471
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:36,920
Speaker 1: the headlights become hazy and yellow and that you don't

472
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:40,200
Speaker 1: get to the light output from that. So three M

473
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:42,600
Speaker 1: Auto we have a good kit out there with our

474
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 1: headlight restoration platforms. We have actually a couple of different

475
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:48,840
Speaker 1: kits that you can use depending on the level of

476
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:52,200
Speaker 1: octivization and your headlights. To make sure that you can

477
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 1: make your headlights good as new and so that you

478
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:59,480
Speaker 1: can see at night. Your your kit works really well.

479
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:01,359
Speaker 1: It's one of the uh it's it's I use it

480
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:03,520
Speaker 1: in the shop on a daily basis, or not daily,

481
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:06,879
Speaker 1: but you know weekly. And one of the finishing touches

482
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:08,720
Speaker 1: that I've always liked about your kid is that final

483
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:11,800
Speaker 1: coat of wax, because the three M wax really makes

484
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:14,560
Speaker 1: a huge difference in how long those lights will stay

485
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:17,320
Speaker 1: uh still, stay bright and light and you know, maintain

486
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:20,399
Speaker 1: their maintain that clarity. Um. I think it's important. It's

487
00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 1: a good step. I think it's good that you brought

488
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:25,360
Speaker 1: that up. So one thing that a lot of our

489
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:29,200
Speaker 1: customers ask us is, you know, how long does after

490
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 1: you were story your headlights, how long does that last?

491
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:33,240
Speaker 1: And what can you do to prevent it from yellowing?

492
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:36,480
Speaker 1: And up until today? Our recommendation, like you said, let's

493
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:38,359
Speaker 1: just put a quota wax over there. Every time you

494
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:40,960
Speaker 1: wash and wax the car, you know, put some wax

495
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:43,440
Speaker 1: on the headlights and that does a really good job

496
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:47,200
Speaker 1: at making it stay clean until that start doesn't necessarily

497
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:50,680
Speaker 1: accumulate on your headlights. But starting next year, we're coming

498
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:54,000
Speaker 1: out with a brand new Quick Headlights clear Coat is

499
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:57,560
Speaker 1: what we're calling it. And this is a clear coat life.

500
00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:00,359
Speaker 1: It's a pre saturated Wife. After you were store your

501
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 1: headlights up to three thousand tries. You take this Wife,

502
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:07,159
Speaker 1: don't unfold it and just use the crisp edge and

503
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:09,719
Speaker 1: go over the slow over life and passes over the

504
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:13,040
Speaker 1: entire headlight and that will give you the clarity that

505
00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:16,399
Speaker 1: you're looking for as low as the longevity will prevent

506
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:21,600
Speaker 1: yellowing for up to four times longer then regular start headlights.

507
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:25,120
Speaker 1: New product is that new products for Kevin anything else?

508
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:30,439
Speaker 1: So the Quick Headlight clear Coat. We have three different

509
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:35,000
Speaker 1: stages of headlight restoration. We have a Quick Renewal Kit

510
00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:38,480
Speaker 1: that's for light duty repaired. We have a Medium Duty

511
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 1: Restoration kit that's for obviously medium duty repairs, and then

512
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:45,679
Speaker 1: the heavy duty. The Quick clear Coat Wife will be

513
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:48,840
Speaker 1: included in our medium duty kit and our heavy duty kit,

514
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:50,119
Speaker 1: and then we're also going to sell it as a

515
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 1: standalone item. Another new product that we have for I'm

516
00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 1: pretty excited about it. It's our free and rust preventer

517
00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:01,880
Speaker 1: sprays and so RUSS is a big problem with vehicles,

518
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:04,960
Speaker 1: especially where I'm at, whether putting salt on the roads

519
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:08,480
Speaker 1: and chemicals on the road to prevent snow and ice

520
00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:10,920
Speaker 1: build up on the road. So if any of that

521
00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:15,680
Speaker 1: salt gets inside the door cavies, then that's a good

522
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:18,280
Speaker 1: way for rust to form inside car. And if any

523
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:22,040
Speaker 1: of that salt water is pooling inside there, that can

524
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:25,720
Speaker 1: be hazardous. So with our new rust for ventor spray,

525
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:27,840
Speaker 1: it comes in an air salt can with a four

526
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:30,879
Speaker 1: piece extension tube that can sit into that. You can

527
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:32,720
Speaker 1: adjust the length on it so it can sit into

528
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:35,840
Speaker 1: any different door cavity or hoods or rocker panels, and

529
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:39,199
Speaker 1: it can get up in the corners and uh get

530
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:42,600
Speaker 1: in where you can't really see or spray normal conventional

531
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:45,760
Speaker 1: means right. And the good thing with this when it

532
00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:47,880
Speaker 1: has a user nozzle on the end of the extension

533
00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:49,960
Speaker 1: to and it gives you that trains in sixty degree

534
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:53,359
Speaker 1: spray pattern, so as you're pulling out the extension to,

535
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:56,920
Speaker 1: it gets complete coverage on the entire interior surface of

536
00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:00,040
Speaker 1: the panel two or three coats and you can have

537
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:03,280
Speaker 1: good protection for the next couple of years. It sounds

538
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:05,399
Speaker 1: like a sounds like another idea from the folks at

539
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:06,800
Speaker 1: three M. That's just gonna go to the top of

540
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:09,119
Speaker 1: the pile, because you guys just always you're you're always

541
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:11,960
Speaker 1: reinventing ways to take care of the car. Uh. You know,

542
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:13,960
Speaker 1: I've noticed that over the years, that's what three M

543
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:17,879
Speaker 1: seems to do. UM. So yeah, good idea before I

544
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:20,119
Speaker 1: let you go any any other basic car care tips

545
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:22,480
Speaker 1: every driver really should know about before they had on

546
00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:26,200
Speaker 1: a long winter's drive, anything going on a long ride.

547
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:28,400
Speaker 1: If you're going on a long ride, make sure your

548
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 1: winshield wipers are functioning that their way they're supposed to,

549
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:33,080
Speaker 1: so if you don't get if you get stuck behind

550
00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:36,480
Speaker 1: the semi and they're kicking up dirt and water and snow,

551
00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:38,440
Speaker 1: at to make sure that you're able to get that

552
00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:42,280
Speaker 1: dirt off your windshield. Um. Make sure your winshiel wiper

553
00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:45,880
Speaker 1: fluid has popped off so you can see as you're driving. Um.

554
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:48,120
Speaker 1: And then make sure you have enough gas in your car.

555
00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:50,640
Speaker 1: O you mentioned before. If you're stuck on the side

556
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:52,680
Speaker 1: of the road in the summer, it's okay if you

557
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:54,840
Speaker 1: take a walk if it's a nice night, but in

558
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:56,600
Speaker 1: the winter you don't want to be walking out the

559
00:28:56,640 --> 00:29:00,200
Speaker 1: side of highway. And if you're in minnesot do you

560
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:01,560
Speaker 1: definitely want to be stuck on the side of the

561
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:05,160
Speaker 1: highway and twenty below one other yet you know, I

562
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:08,160
Speaker 1: was talking to Kevin listeners prior to the broadcast today

563
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:10,560
Speaker 1: and we were discussing Minnesota. I was up in Minnesota

564
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:13,640
Speaker 1: years ago and driving down this one major highway and

565
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:15,880
Speaker 1: we talked about these houses that had sticks. Do they

566
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:17,960
Speaker 1: still put the sticks in front of the front doors

567
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:20,760
Speaker 1: on the houses, Kevin? When and not so much in

568
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:23,400
Speaker 1: front of the front doors, but they definitely have them

569
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:25,880
Speaker 1: on the side of the driveway on going around the corners.

570
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:29,120
Speaker 1: But yeah, you can see where the road is right

571
00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:32,640
Speaker 1: and so and so when the snow piles up if

572
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:33,960
Speaker 1: you have to dig the house out, They used to

573
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 1: put the sticks on front of the front door so

574
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:37,160
Speaker 1: you could find the front door if you have to

575
00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:39,720
Speaker 1: dig the house out. So you know, from a guy

576
00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:41,880
Speaker 1: from a guy in Minnesota that sees snow like that,

577
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:44,160
Speaker 1: we definitely can take car care tips from you to heart,

578
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:46,920

Speaker 1: Oh god, Um, I like Green Bay. I don't know

612
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:46,920
Speaker 1: about the score, but um yeah, I'll take them in

613
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:49,800
Speaker 1: this in that game. Okay, Uh tell him that's two

614
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:52,800
Speaker 1: now that I've talked. Okay, I'm just ensuring the victory. Bro.

615
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:54,920
Speaker 1: So anyway, what can I do for you today, Glenn?

616
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:56,640
Speaker 1: Not to make this a sports hour, but good ahead.

617
00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 1: Two thousand nine, two ten. I was looking at um

618
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:04,680
Speaker 1: the Toyota Highlander. Um do I have a mind of

619
00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:08,560
Speaker 1: both private owners? And they both uh about eighty thousand

620
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:11,000
Speaker 1: miles on them really well maintained. I just wanted to

621
00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:15,920
Speaker 1: get your opinion on um on the car, and I

622
00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:20,000
Speaker 1: think they're usually great cars. Um, you know, they'll Toyotas

623
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:21,680
Speaker 1: are one of those cars that will take a little

624
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:25,720
Speaker 1: bit of abuse. Um, you know, they're there. They will

625
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:28,040
Speaker 1: stand up to a little bit of intolerant maintenance and

626
00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:31,480
Speaker 1: and so forth. They there's there's a line there. But

627
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:34,880
Speaker 1: you know, I think I think what you're talking about.

628
00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:37,160
Speaker 1: I think what you're describing to me sounds like I'd

629
00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:39,480
Speaker 1: consider either one. I'd look at price, I'd look at condition.

630
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:46,040
Speaker 1: Uh you know both of these sixes yeah, um, you know,

631
00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:49,640
Speaker 1: pretty pretty bulletproof to a degree. You know, they'll have

632
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:53,800
Speaker 1: their quirks, you know, they they they have their issues.

633
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:56,600
Speaker 1: I mean they'll rust. The biggest thing I see with Toyotas.

634
00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:59,000
Speaker 1: It sounds funny, but they get something I called the

635
00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:02,480
Speaker 1: Toyota crunches in their exhaust systems where they get to

636
00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:05,360
Speaker 1: an age where the it's it's not the exhaust system, well,

637
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:08,840
Speaker 1: the flanges start to deteriorate, but the nuts and bolts

638
00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:13,920
Speaker 1: holding them together just start to oay, they get crunchy,

639
00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:17,480
Speaker 1: they get they start to flake apart, and you you

640
00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:19,880
Speaker 1: end up you know the rest of the system starts

641
00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:22,760
Speaker 1: to rot and fall off from the end in and

642
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:25,880
Speaker 1: you know, other than that, you know, except for some

643
00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:29,320
Speaker 1: of the ridiculous prices Toyota charges for catalytic converters, I

644
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:32,680
Speaker 1: think they're good cars. You know. Um, you never want

645
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:34,320
Speaker 1: to put an exhaust on a Toyota though, I can

646
00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:37,719
Speaker 1: tell you this. I've seen some Toyota exhaust systems. Uh,

647
00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:40,560
Speaker 1: you know, three thousand dollars in parts. It gets crazy,

648
00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:45,720
Speaker 1: It gets crazy, yeah, nuts. But when you consider what

649
00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:48,520
Speaker 1: the car is new, and when you consider you know,

650
00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:51,560
Speaker 1: the mileage. I don't think eighty thousand miles is I

651
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:53,360
Speaker 1: don't think eighty thousand miles is a lot of miles

652
00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:56,760
Speaker 1: on anything today. And if it's had maintenance, I think

653
00:33:56,840 --> 00:33:59,160
Speaker 1: most cars will go a quarter million miles. I really do.

654
00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:01,720
Speaker 1: I just think it depends on who's working on it.

655
00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:03,880
Speaker 1: But yeah, by all means, just watch your pricing and uh,

656
00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:07,200
Speaker 1: you know, enjoy the car, all right, sir? What would

657
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:09,560
Speaker 1: what would you suggest I do as far as the

658
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:12,840
Speaker 1: maintenance at that mileogy, Well, I'll tell you what. Hang on,

659
00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:14,919
Speaker 1: let me let me pull over and take the pause.

660
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:16,560
Speaker 1: When we come back, we'll go over that real quick.

661
00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:18,480
Speaker 1: Stay tuned. I'm rowing any in the car doctor. Come

662
00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:46,279
Speaker 1: go away, baby dee. Hey the back wanted to need

663
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:48,320
Speaker 1: the car doctor. Let's get right to it. Glenn and Philly,

664
00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:52,040
Speaker 1: are you still there, sir? And find an old nine

665
00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:54,840
Speaker 1: or ten Toyota Highland or maintenance at eighty thousand miles.

666
00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:57,520
Speaker 1: It's easy. All the fluids don't care when they were

667
00:34:57,560 --> 00:34:59,719
Speaker 1: done last baseline the car start with what you know

668
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:01,880
Speaker 1: if they were done at sixty, where they've done right,

669
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:04,880
Speaker 1: where they've done properly. All the fluids cool and trans

670
00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:08,800
Speaker 1: brake um obviously change the engine oil if there's a

671
00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:11,400
Speaker 1: transfer case involved that these are all wheel drives, that

672
00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:14,799
Speaker 1: all right. Other than that, just be mindful of Take

673
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:16,680
Speaker 1: a look at the water pump. The water pumps were

674
00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:19,880
Speaker 1: common to fail on these. These are not timing belt motors.

675
00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:23,400
Speaker 1: These are chain motors. In nine and ten, water pumps

676
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:26,080
Speaker 1: were not completely uncommon to go bed. The wee pole

677
00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:28,360
Speaker 1: will start to get a little crusty around it and

678
00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:30,400
Speaker 1: start to get a little seepy, and that'll be the

679
00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:33,239
Speaker 1: telltale sign. Take a look at the back bottom rows

680
00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:35,840
Speaker 1: of the radiator. Make sure it's not corroded. As the

681
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:38,520
Speaker 1: air draft seemed to affect and wear out the radiators there,

682
00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:40,640
Speaker 1: but I think you're probably way too early for that.

683
00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:43,280
Speaker 1: Other than that, take a look at the brakes themselves,

684
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:45,680
Speaker 1: rotate the tires and drive it on down the road.

685
00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:48,040
Speaker 1: If you have a mechanic, it's got a carbon clean machine.

686
00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:50,320
Speaker 1: Do some sort of a fuel injection cleaning and a

687
00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:52,920
Speaker 1: throttle body service and you'll be good to go. All right,

688
00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:55,160
Speaker 1: let me let me jump over to my next call, Glenn.

689
00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:56,239
Speaker 1: I don't want to say no to you, but I

690
00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:58,680
Speaker 1: want to get everybody in Walt from Mauie Walter. I'm

691
00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:00,200
Speaker 1: not gonna ask you the whether it's snow in here

692
00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:02,239
Speaker 1: in New Jersey. I got forty five seconds. How can

693
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:06,040
Speaker 1: I help you? Let me turn down the air conditioner. Okay,

694
00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:08,000
Speaker 1: we'll keep it up. You know we can disconnect. Easy

695
00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:15,319
Speaker 1: to go ahead, baby, two point zero? Leader, Is there

696
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:20,440
Speaker 1: a way to tell it's got no compression? Is zero

697
00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:22,920
Speaker 1: and five? Is there a way to tell whether it's

698
00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:26,200
Speaker 1: a head guest? Yeah? Um, fill each cylinder with oil,

699
00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:27,520
Speaker 1: you know, put it, put a couple of and not

700
00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:29,239
Speaker 1: fill it, but put a couple of squirts of oil

701
00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:32,960
Speaker 1: in the cylinder. To the compression test. Again. If compression

702
00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:35,480
Speaker 1: goes up, it's a ring issue. You're ceiling it. If

703
00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:38,759
Speaker 1: the compression stays the same, then it's either valve train

704
00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:41,120
Speaker 1: or something above it. Possibly a head guess can take

705
00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:42,840
Speaker 1: it from that point and we'll go from there. You

706
00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:44,440
Speaker 1: know where to find me if you need more moderating.

707
00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:47,520
Speaker 1: The car Doctor. Mechanics aren't expensive, they're priceless. Aloha
