1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:05,040
Speaker 1: Hell, I need somebody, not just anybody.

2
00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:09,719
Speaker 2: You know, I need some lawn. Ron Ananian, I don't

3
00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:11,399
Speaker 2: know anything about the problem of this engine.

4
00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:14,280
Speaker 3: Right, the trams be red, trans should be red. However,

5
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:16,720
Speaker 3: you know, don't judge it by color because the vehicle

6
00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:19,440
Speaker 3: is nine years old, the car Doctor, you know what,

7
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:21,079
Speaker 3: I've been working on my abbs. See, I've got a

8
00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:23,520
Speaker 3: six pack now, so we all have a six pack inside.

9
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:24,720
Speaker 4: It just takes a while drink.

10
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:26,600
Speaker 5: So do why because you know I need it when

11
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:27,360
Speaker 5: I need to do the show.

12
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:28,680
Speaker 4: Right, you're drinking, I understand.

13
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:32,519
Speaker 2: Welcome to the radio home of Ron Anian, the Car Doctor.

14
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:35,879
Speaker 2: Since nineteen ninety one, this is where car owners the

15
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:40,200
Speaker 2: world overturned to for their definitive opinion on automotive repair.

16
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:43,519
Speaker 2: If your mechanics giving you a busy signal, pick up

17
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:47,320
Speaker 2: the phone and call in. The garage doors are open.

18
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:49,200
Speaker 3: But I am here to take your call at eighty

19
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 3: five five five ninety nine hundred and now he.

20
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 2: Running.

21
00:00:56,200 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 3: We had a twenty twelve Chevy Equinox this weekend the shop.

22
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 3: And you know, it's just sometimes the repairs are nonsensical

23
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 3: in a sense of because you're working on.

24
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:09,480
Speaker 4: It and you're going, why am I doing this?

25
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:13,399
Speaker 3: It shouldn't be bad. It's not supposed to break. The

26
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 3: customer complaint was a fuel smell, and we looked at

27
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 3: it and sure enough, yeah, the fuel line was leaking.

28
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 3: The stainless steel fuel line was leaking. Now, isn't the

29
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 3: idea of stainless steel so that it won't corrode, it

30
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 3: won't rot, it won't leak. Isn't that why we go

31
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 3: through the expense of stainless in the first place. But

32
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:43,479
Speaker 3: then is it really stainless steel? Because you could see

33
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,679
Speaker 3: there was a little well, let me back up, so

34
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 3: twenty twelve Chevy Equinox and the fuel leak was where

35
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 3: the stainless steel line. And I keep saying that because

36
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 3: that's what it is. It's actually not stainless steel, though

37
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 3: I believe it's stainless steel coating. I believe it to

38
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 3: be a line coating that they've coated the line assembly,

39
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 3: and it's not exactly one hundred percent pure. It had

40
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 3: a tiny little blister where they I don't understand what

41
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:17,079
Speaker 3: GM engineers are thinking. They hold the fuel lines, they

42
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:21,640
Speaker 3: hold all the steel lines in a plastic clip, and

43
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 3: that clip, you know, every time I see plastic near

44
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 3: anything in a way of a clip, and it's gripping

45
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 3: it real tight. That holds the moisture. And I don't

46
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 3: care how good it's coded.

47
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 4: I don't care.

48
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:32,799
Speaker 3: If it's a solid piece of stainless, it's going to

49
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 3: break down the metal it's holding onto at some point somehow.

50
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 3: In this case, you know, there was a there had

51
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 3: to be a slight little imperfection in the coating and

52
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:46,959
Speaker 3: some moisture got underneath the outside casing and over time

53
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 3: that line rotted to the point that it had a

54
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 3: pinhole leak in it. Now, if that wasn't bad enough,

55
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 3: the purge line, because the purge line four, you know,

56
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:57,919
Speaker 3: comes out of the tank to go up to the

57
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,639
Speaker 3: front of the engine purge for a vaporative emissions operations.

58
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:04,640
Speaker 3: The purge line rusted, oh I don't know, a six

59
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 3: to eight inch section of it, like it was going

60
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 3: to fall off the car like I needed a tetan

61
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 3: a shot. After looking at it and without even touching it.

62
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:12,640
Speaker 3: That's how badly rusted the purge line was. And that

63
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:14,799
Speaker 3: was made out of steel. I give that, I give.

64
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:16,919
Speaker 3: I give the fuel line credit. At least it didn't

65
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 3: rot like the like the purge. It just created this

66
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 3: little tiny pinhole that was pee and fuel. Okay, so

67
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:25,359
Speaker 3: we're going to do a fuel line and a purge

68
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 3: line and you know, put the car back on the road.

69
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 3: The box that these two pieces came in was so tall.

70
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 3: The poor parts kid, I mean, he he had to

71
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 3: like he had to loop the box in front and

72
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 3: then stand it up, rest it down, step inside, and

73
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 3: then pick it up and carry it and put it down,

74
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 3: which we ended up telling him to take it and

75
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 3: leave it outside the shop anyway, because it was so big.

76
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 4: There was no place.

77
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 3: Because it's the length of the car. It's the whole

78
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 3: fuel line, you know. It's just you can't imagine how

79
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 3: long this is. And I said to myself, and I

80
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 3: mentioned this to Danny, I said, wouldn't it made more

81
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 3: sense if they cut both lines in half and nutted

82
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 3: them together, you know, just two steel nuts like a

83
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 3: brake line set up and a flared coupling in the middle,

84
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 3: and it would be easier to ship, easier to handle,

85
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 3: easier to store. I just I just don't understand some

86
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 3: of the things that these guys are thinking. It's it's

87
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 3: but they're just off in.

88
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 4: Their own zone.

89
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 3: But that happens, right, so we you know, put it

90
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 3: all together and and they're not bashful what they charged

91
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 3: for this, by the way, all right, I think the

92
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 3: fuel line was seven hundred dollars just for a piece

93
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:46,920
Speaker 3: of you know, from from here to there, because it

94
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 3: went up to the engine and had a piece of

95
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 3: braided line on the end. They had there's a fuel

96
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 3: pressure sensor on the line. They had that incorporated in.

97
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 3: And I looked at it and I said, it's so

98
00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:00,280
Speaker 3: unique that there's no way you're ever going to see

99
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 3: anything like this in the after market. I guess the

100
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 3: after market would try to repair that line, but I

101
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,919
Speaker 3: don't see how they could because it's a coating. I

102
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,920
Speaker 3: don't see how you could crimp that you couldn't put.

103
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 3: You know, in the old days, we would put a

104
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:17,839
Speaker 3: what we called a feral nut set up, which is

105
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 3: a compression sleeve with an actual hex nut going into

106
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 3: an adapter and you would crush it down and you

107
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:25,479
Speaker 3: would make the two together and seal it up. But

108
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 3: you know, when a line is coated or dipped in

109
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 3: whatever it was, which it looked like stainless to me,

110
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 3: that was my initial reaction. You can't use a feral

111
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 3: compression fitting. It just doesn't work because you're gonna you're

112
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:41,160
Speaker 3: gonna break the back of the of the dipping material,

113
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 3: so to speak, and it's gonna break its bond with

114
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:44,839
Speaker 3: the pipe that it's attached.

115
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:45,840
Speaker 4: To, and it's gonna leak.

116
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 3: Cars are made funny, they you know, you look at

117
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 3: you look at how they're made and how they're designed,

118
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 3: and you say, did it was anybody thinking? And yet

119
00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:00,360
Speaker 3: they sell millions of them? So it just know, it's

120
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:05,040
Speaker 3: just it kind of boggles the mind, you know. I

121
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 3: guess if cards were perfect, it would be this radio

122
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 3: show would be on the air. So some people would

123
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 3: like that, you know, but more people would not. So

124
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 3: we'll stay.

125
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:16,279
Speaker 6: Anyway.

126
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 3: Hey, Aron, long time listening to Thanks for the great show.

127
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 3: Is hoping to get some input. We recently purchased our

128
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 3: twenty twenty Accura when our lease ended. The vehicle is

129
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 3: approximately thirty six thousand miles on it. We received the

130
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:30,159
Speaker 3: letter regarding a recall number twenty three Victor Dish seven

131
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 3: fifty one. I sent Marke an email about this, by

132
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 3: the way, campaign number GGO. I wanted to put this

133
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 3: up on air service bulletin number twenty three dish oh

134
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:42,919
Speaker 3: thirty six. Yeah, I read twenty three dish oh thirty

135
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 3: six from Accurate. You know, you would think accurate Honda,

136
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 3: and I call Honda out and Accurate whenever these things happen,

137
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,280
Speaker 3: because they've got this, they've got this idea that they

138
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 3: don't make any mistakes, and I just I kind of

139
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:56,479
Speaker 3: like to point them out just because they're human like

140
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:57,039
Speaker 3: the rest of us.

141
00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 4: They're not immortal. If you own a late model Accurate

142
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 4: MDX and you're driving it with a V six, you're

143
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:08,840
Speaker 4: maybe under subject or recall model years. If I recall correctly, it.

144
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 3: Was twenty sixteen, twenty fifteen through twenty And that's actually

145
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 3: what the bulletin says. Having in front of me, yeah,

146
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 3: that's actually what the bulletin says, twenty fifteen through twenty

147
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 3: and it's actually MDX and tlx's V six is Accura

148
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 3: Honda V six is we're having problems with connecting rods

149
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 3: and bearings and crankshafts falling out the bottom of the engine.

150
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 4: Oops.

151
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 3: You know, and here's the kicker, all right, Mark Mark

152
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 3: said that you know, they they've you know, he's got

153
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 3: a concern. He said, this is a concern is. It's

154
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 3: my wife's car and we use it for long distance travel.

155
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:44,240
Speaker 3: Have you heard anything about this? And what do you think?

156
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 3: Sounds like an engine teared down and a rebuilder replacement.

157
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 3: Thanks for your time and knowledge, Mark. You know, as

158
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 3: I said to Mark, I said, the problem here and well,

159
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 3: the actual recall is for the crankshaft breaks and the

160
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 3: bottom of the engine falls out. So minor problem, you know,

161
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 3: especially for the guy behind you, which.

162
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 4: You know, you've got to think about this now.

163
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 3: Right you're driving your car down the highway at seventy

164
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 3: miles an hour and the bottom of the engine, you know,

165
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 3: it just blows up and falls out through the oil pan. Well,

166
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 3: if you're behind this guy at seventy miles an hour,

167
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 3: imagine running over half of an engine at seventy miles

168
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 3: an hour? What's that going to do to your car?

169
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 3: And then you know who's responsible for that. But here's

170
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 3: the best part, so you know, accurate, Honda whoever, in

171
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 3: their efforts to keep you know, this is all about,

172
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 3: you know, cover your butt.

173
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:36,560
Speaker 4: You know they come out with a bulletin.

174
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:41,560
Speaker 3: There's no parts, there's no loaner cars, there's no So Mark,

175
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:43,440
Speaker 3: right now, I said Mark, I said, go back to

176
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:45,839
Speaker 3: the dealer. I said, tell them you want a loaner car.

177
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 3: I wouldn't be comfortable, you know, would you be comfortable

178
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 3: driving a car knowing that the engine has a recall

179
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:53,319
Speaker 3: on it, that it could blow up? And I said,

180
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 3: you know, and you know, especially your wife, she's probably

181
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:03,319
Speaker 3: a nervous wreck drive in this car. Don't be aware

182
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 3: of that. The bullet number again is twenty three D

183
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:08,720
Speaker 3: show thirty six. If you think you were affected, you should.

184
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 3: You could take your seventeen digit VIN and go out

185
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 3: to knitsa National Highway Traffic Safety Authority at HTSA dot gov,

186
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 3: and there'll be a place there you can type in

187
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 3: the VN and it will tell you if you're in

188
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 3: a recall or not. Not that that's going to do

189
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 3: you any good because you can't get you can't get parts,

190
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:27,960
Speaker 3: you can't get a loaner vehicle.

191
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 4: You're stuck with this car.

192
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 3: Which you know, I mean, I don't understand it. Just

193
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 3: have to digress a minute. I don't understand how this

194
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 3: thing called an engine, which we've been making for oh,

195
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:43,199
Speaker 3: I don't know, one hundred years, we all of a

196
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 3: sudden don't know how to make certain parts such that

197
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 3: they'll fail. I thought cars were getting better and more indestructible,

198
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 3: but I guess I'm dreaming. You know, it doesn't make

199
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 3: any sense to me, but be aware. You know, years ago,

200
00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:00,319
Speaker 3: as an aside, years ago, there was conversation that vehicle

201
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 3: owners were going to be allowed and it actually went

202
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:06,840
Speaker 3: through Congress. I'm going back fifteen, maybe almost eighteen years.

203
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 3: It actually went through Congress. There was a bill in

204
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 3: front of Congress where they were going to require vehicle

205
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:17,840
Speaker 3: manufacturers to send bulletins of safety or importance, not just recalls,

206
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:20,200
Speaker 3: but some of the other things. And then there was conversation.

207
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 3: I think it failed because they were like, well, let's

208
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 3: just send everything to the consumer, the person that owns

209
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 3: the vehicle, or give them the ability to access it.

210
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 4: And I think it's necessary. I think you need to.

211
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,839
Speaker 3: I think if you spend forty fifty sixty thousand dollars

212
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:38,680
Speaker 3: on a vehicle, you're entitled to know. The manufacturers saying, hey,

213
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 3: this is a problem, folks, this is something that could

214
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 3: go wrong, But they don't all right, They keep it

215
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:50,200
Speaker 3: bottled up. It's really hard to get information out of them.

216
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 3: And I think they're wrong for that. I think that

217
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 3: everybody should know here's a common issue, and it would

218
00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 3: save lives, never mind save money, but sense that common

219
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 3: sense thing again. Hey, five five five six zero nine

220
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 3: nine zero zero. Running the end of the car doctor

221
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:06,679
Speaker 3: coming back right after this.

222
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 4: Don't go away eat.

223
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:26,520

Speaker 7: Here's Rob.

227
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:35,960
Speaker 3: Hey, let's let's do a quick piece of email. By

Speaker 3: zero nine nine zero zero.

230
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:42,200
Speaker 4: Good time to get in. The phones are quiet. Let's uh,

231
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:45,320
Speaker 4: let's go to Let's go do this. Mike Mike?

232
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 6: Is that Gary? Mike?

233
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:48,960
Speaker 3: Gary GT Innovations wrote me a nice long email here

234
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 3: questions about a two thousand Lincoln Town car. Hey, Ron,

235
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 3: a long time listener, greatly appreciate your expertise, personal service, diligence,

236
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 3: and humor. It's gonna must be a relative. I've been

237
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 3: at it. I've been in oh, I've been I've been

238
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 3: an IT engineer. I can't read today. I've been an

239
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 3: IT engineer in part time mechanic for forty years and

240
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 3: use the same troubleshooting techniques with both to solve problems.

241
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:13,680
Speaker 3: I'm always I've always determined what's good, so I know

242
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:15,559
Speaker 3: it's bad, and then divide and conquered. My father in

243
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 3: law as a two thousand Lincoln town Car with automatic

244
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 3: electronic air temperature control climate control, and would call me

245
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 3: stating that his heat air defrost works fine when first

246
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:27,079
Speaker 3: driving the car, but after thirty minutes nowhere comes out

247
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:29,720
Speaker 3: of anywhere. He can drive twenty minutes to the store

248
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 3: and it works fine, then comes out of the store

249
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 3: and drives back twenty minutes and it's fine. It's always

250
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 3: a thirty minute time frame, which is weird. Sounds like

251
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 3: computer related. Just the top my head, mike before we

252
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 3: go further, because it's just it's just so precision timed.

253
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 3: It sounds like something electronic is timing out. I had

254
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 3: him drive out to my place, which is forty five

255
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 3: minutes away, and sure enough, when he arrived, I could

256
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 3: hear the fan on high, but nothing out of the

257
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:55,960
Speaker 3: floor face or to frost fence. I did the EATC

258
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 3: diagnostic off floor auto and no fall codes, press buttons

259
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 3: between floor face the frost and no change turn off

260
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 3: the car. Five minutes later, it started up and blew

261
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 3: out just fine. As with computers, non repeatable intermittent problems

262
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 3: are hard to solve, so I was hoping that it

263
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 3: would finally fail this winter, so quickly diagnosed it in

264
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:15,440
Speaker 3: the meantime or right online that a common problem could

265
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:17,200
Speaker 3: be the twenty four year old over rings in the

266
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:20,320
Speaker 3: EATC unit causing a vacuum leak, so I replaced them,

267
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:20,960
Speaker 3: but it didn't solve.

268
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 4: The next possibility I thought.

269
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 3: Of is the HVAC vacuum res of ore under the cow,

270
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 3: but have not checked it. Winter is not a big

271
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:29,679
Speaker 3: deal since he does not go on long trips, but

272
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 3: summer will be a hassle. So I told them an email.

273
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 3: You see, if you've seen this shoe and had any suggestions,

274
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 3: thanks in the advanced Mike. You know, Mike, there's a

275
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 3: there's Well, this is a pretty simple system, all right.

276
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:43,840
Speaker 3: You've got a vacuum reservoir out under the hood and

277
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:48,080
Speaker 3: it pulls vacuum in from the engine manifold vacuum, all right,

278
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:52,360
Speaker 3: And it then goes out and it feeds the automatic

279
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 3: climate control unit under the dash, all right. That automatic

280
00:13:55,760 --> 00:14:00,400
Speaker 3: climate control unit under the dash then splits and it

281
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 3: will go to the there's two servo motors or two

282
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 3: vacuum diaphragms. One controls heat the frost, one controls I'm sorry,

283
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 3: one controls you know, panel to frost, and the other

284
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 3: one controls the second one controls floor to panel. So

285
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 3: the access point if you were to take out the

286
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 3: ash trayn' sound weird. But if you take out the

287
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 3: ash tray, all right, you will see the vacuum lines

288
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 3: come right up into the back of the ash tray.

289
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 3: Those are the two vacuum lines that feed the If

290
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:42,120
Speaker 3: I remember right the floor panel servo, there's two lines there.

291
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 3: Do you have vacuum there? Put a vacuum gage to

292
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 3: it and go for a ride when the problem's happening.

293
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:50,320
Speaker 3: Do you have vacuum there? If you don't have vacuum

294
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 3: either one of those lines, and you've got to trace

295
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 3: it back to the electronic climate control unit, does it

296
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 3: have vacuum coming in? And you're right, go to the

297
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:03,360
Speaker 3: vacuum reservoir. Now we'll try this, okay, and this is

298
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 3: going to sound really crazy, but if you put the

299
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 3: parking brake on, this should have a vacuum release parking brake.

300
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 3: If you put the parking brake on and then put

301
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 3: it in drive. Does the parking brake automatically release? If

302
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 3: it does not, then I'm going to tell you that

303
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 3: you probably have a vacuum supply problem. Why because the

304
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 3: vacuum line that goes to the parking brake control unit,

305
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:35,320
Speaker 3: all right, comes from the same vacuum reservoir. They split

306
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 3: the two lines out the back. One goes down to

307
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 3: the climate control one goes over to the parking brake.

308
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 3: So if it can't pull the parking brake off, as

309
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:44,560
Speaker 3: a matter of fact, you could go to the parking

310
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 3: brake and check you should have an engine vacuum at

311
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 3: that parking brake release and if you do not, again

312
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:55,920
Speaker 3: you've got to go back and trace your sources out.

313
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 3: So the best thing you could do if you're stuck

314
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 3: with this is get yourself a vacuum diagram and it

315
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 3: breaks it down into real simple There's not a lot

316
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 3: of vacuum lines here, and you're going to find that

317
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 3: it's this sounds like a vacuum supply problem that's bleeding off,

318
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 3: or this is going to be it's got plenty of

319
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 3: vacuum coming into the electronic control unit, but the mechanical

320
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:21,960
Speaker 3: side is failing over time, and it needs to be replaced.

321
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 3: And that's There's really not a whole lot else here,

322
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:28,520
Speaker 3: you know, so just just try that.

323
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 4: If you need me, you know where to find me,

324
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:30,600

00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 3: back to me, and he gave us his phone number. Marty,

335
00:16:57,480 --> 00:16:58,800
Speaker 3: we couldn't get a hold of you today, but I

336
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 3: wanted to get this out on here. We were talking

337
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:04,160
Speaker 3: about k Seal. K seal is you know it's it's

338
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:06,960
Speaker 3: and we're fortunate, listen, we were using k seal before

339
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:10,200
Speaker 3: they became a sponsor. Our use of k seal led

340
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 3: them to us, because you know, I was talking about

341
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,399
Speaker 3: it prior and you know one thing led to another.

342
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 3: But I'm fortunate and that a lot of the companies

343
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:20,399
Speaker 3: I use in the shop I get to it's not

344
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:22,159
Speaker 3: hard to convince them to command to be sponsors and

345
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 3: advertisers here on air because they realized what this radio

346
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:27,320
Speaker 3: show is. So you know, you're looking for K Seal

347
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:30,200
Speaker 3: Marty and just follow the directions on the bottle. They

348
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 3: also make I think the partner what you're looking for

349
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 3: is ST. Stephen Thomas thirty five oh one. They also

350
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 3: make a product ST fifty five oh one, which is

351
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 3: their head gas cod sealer K Seal Cooling System head

352
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:48,159
Speaker 3: gas cod sealer, which the I believe the number is

353
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:50,720
Speaker 3: thirty three percent thirty three percent more ceiling power. So

354
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 3: the head gas cond sealer has a larger quantity.

355
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 4: Of sealer in it.

356
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:57,360

00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 7: the transmission went caflue okay, no warning, nothing and can't

375
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:19,800
Speaker 7: get BW to tell me whether or not this particular

376
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:23,920
Speaker 7: transmission had a problem, never issued any bulletins and was

377
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 7: a eleven thousand dollar job to find the last one

378
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:27,879
Speaker 7: in America to put in it.

379
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:30,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you know, they did have some problems. There

380
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:34,840
Speaker 3: were some issues. They usually set a P zero eight

381
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:37,399
Speaker 3: forty one trans fluid pressure switch which is part of

382
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:41,800
Speaker 3: the mectronic mechatronic mectronic unit internal in the trans The

383
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 3: problem is to get it out.

384
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:43,600
Speaker 4: It's a lot of work.

385
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:46,440
Speaker 3: And you know at that stage, you're you're talking about

386
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 3: a car that's what sixteen, so it's eight years old

387
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 3: now or you know, nine years old, depending upon you know,

388
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:54,400
Speaker 3: service date. A one hundred thousand miles, you're gonna start

389
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:56,520
Speaker 3: patch repairing a transmission and put a trans in it.

390
00:19:56,520 --> 00:20:00,959
Speaker 3: It's and look at the expense, right Herbie, that's crazy

391
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:05,640
Speaker 3: eleven grand for a transmission, and we we can't make

392
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:07,240
Speaker 3: something last longer than that.

393
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:11,480
Speaker 7: Yeah, most transmissions supposed to last about two hundred thousand miles,

394
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:11,920
Speaker 7: aren't they.

395
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:15,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, you'll see, you know, I'll see transmissions around one fifty.

396
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 3: I'm expecting to put a trans in a vehicle all

397
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 3: right in my you know, I mean listen, but on average, Okay,

398
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 3: somebody comes in and they tell me, you know, my

399
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 3: car is burning oil, and I'm told that it's normal

400
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:29,480
Speaker 3: because it's a quart every thousand miles. The industry says

401
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:32,040
Speaker 3: that's good. Some car companies are talking a quart every

402
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:35,000
Speaker 3: eight hundred miles, which blows my mind. I just I

403
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:36,159
Speaker 3: just don't understand.

404
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't get it.

405
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:39,440
Speaker 3: You know, we're all about clean air in the environment

406
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:42,160
Speaker 3: and you know, clean green and all that, and yet

407
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:45,680
Speaker 3: we're allowing cars to burn oil because the catalytic converter

408
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 3: then does the job and reduces down the emissions and

409
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 3: we burn out the cat and we have to put

410
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 3: a cat on the car or we replace the vehicle

411
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:55,520
Speaker 3: because we find out cats are seven thousand dollars.

412
00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 7: Well, the car has been extremely dependable and my wife

413
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:02,960
Speaker 7: is really enjoyed it. So and guess what in the

414
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:05,960
Speaker 7: new transmission only has a guarantee for one year. My

415
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:09,120
Speaker 7: question was it was a brand new transmission, how come

416
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 7: it is in the thirty six thousand mile or a

417
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 7: three year guarantee like a brand new car.

418
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 3: Well, and I would ask them, you know, all fair questions,

419
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:18,360
Speaker 3: and I would ask them, Well, I have a couple

420
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:21,480
Speaker 3: of questions. Was it a real Volkswagen trans or was

421
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:23,919
Speaker 3: it an outside rebuilder that Volkswagen uses?

422
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:29,159
Speaker 7: Right? Slightest that idea. Allegedly, the new one is a

423
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:32,400
Speaker 7: brand new one volkswagn transmission. So then one that came

424
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:34,840
Speaker 7: in it in twenty sixteen, I have to think, was

425
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:36,639
Speaker 7: right a Volkswagen transmit?

426
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:38,720
Speaker 3: Well, no, no, I'm I'm talking about the replacement. So the

427
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:41,520
Speaker 3: replacement was a real VW unit. So then why is

428
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:43,800
Speaker 3: it only You're right, why is it only twelve months

429
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:44,640
Speaker 3: twelve thousand miles?

430
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 4: That doesn't seem like it's enough of a.

431
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 3: Warranty, you know, it's it's you know anyway, most manufacturers,

432
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:53,199
Speaker 3: let me just tell you this, most manufacturers you use

433
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:58,679
Speaker 3: a replacement powertrain unit from, like Chrysler. Chrysler engines are

434
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:01,439
Speaker 3: I believe three years fifty thousand miles. Some of them

435
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 3: are three years unlimited mileage. You know, so I would

436
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 3: you know, you may want to ask can you buy

437
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 3: an extended warranty policy on that? It may pay off

438
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:12,520
Speaker 3: because my gosh, eleven thousand dollars. If you spend two

439
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:14,479
Speaker 3: grand on a policy to get another five years out

440
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:15,560
Speaker 3: of it, by then you're done with the car.

441
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:16,880
Speaker 4: Anyway, you're coming out ahead right.

442
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:21,240
Speaker 7: Well, hey, my two thousand chicks jeded Diese gets me

443
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:23,440
Speaker 7: sixty miles of the gallon has two hundred and twenty

444
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:25,880
Speaker 7: thousand miles on it. It's going to the junkyard when

445
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:26,359
Speaker 7: I go.

446
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:28,040
Speaker 3: All right, well, is it a stick or an automatic

447
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:32,959
Speaker 3: stick stick? That's why you know, and you know how

448
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:35,040
Speaker 3: to drive a car. That's the other part of it.

449
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:38,720

Speaker 1: just get rid of it instead of.

466
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 6: Why fix it? Why fix it?

467
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:34,080
Speaker 4: Listen, I go back to you.

468
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:37,439
Speaker 3: Know, it's funny how my brain is wired because I

469
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 3: remember little bits and pieces of things that I read.

470
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:41,720
Speaker 3: I can see things that I read fifty years ago

471
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 3: when I was much younger. Yeah, you know, and it

472
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 3: sticks with me. I remember the article. I remember the

473
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:54,560
Speaker 3: article that General Motors declared they had finally engineered the

474
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:59,200
Speaker 3: turbohydramatic four hundred, which was a sixties transmission right. Yeah,

475
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:04,320
Speaker 3: A turbohydramatic four hundred, on average would go two hundred

476
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:08,240
Speaker 3: and fifty thousand miles in the sixties and the seventies,

477
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:11,119
Speaker 3: and General Motors didn't like that, so they put some

478
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:14,399
Speaker 3: engineers on it, and they finally got the engineers to

479
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 3: dumb it down enough that it would only go one

480
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:19,200
Speaker 3: hundred thousand miles and then fail, and they.

481
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:24,200
Speaker 1: Put up They had a nineteen sixty seven in Palla

482
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:26,639
Speaker 1: with a two eighty three and a I think it

483
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 1: was a two speed automatic that got twenty three miles

484
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 1: a gallon at the time.

485
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:35,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, well a lot of it. It's you know,

486
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:40,000
Speaker 3: it's listen, more is better. Technology is better?

487
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:42,119
Speaker 6: I guess I, yes, it is.

488
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:45,760
Speaker 1: You know, I have arguments with my son all the time, you.

489
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 3: Know, listen, I mean we talk about technology. Sometimes it's

490
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:52,240
Speaker 3: not cars. I decided to join the next evolution and

491
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:55,120
Speaker 3: I put I put my credit card in my cell

492
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:58,000
Speaker 3: phone on Google pay, all right.

493
00:24:58,119 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 6: Because it's kind of neat.

494
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:01,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, I sa I saw this a couple of times,

495
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 3: and I said, hey, this is kind of neat.

496
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:04,880
Speaker 4: You put your credit card on your phone.

497
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:07,040
Speaker 3: Now you can walk up to a credit card termerrole

498
00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:08,639
Speaker 3: and go dink and you never got to take your

499
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:11,360
Speaker 3: credit card out, which if we're trying to be security

500
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:13,600
Speaker 3: conscience of those around us, because the world is such

501
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:16,120
Speaker 3: a supposed to be such a scary place, so you goink.

502
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:20,440
Speaker 3: Here's the catch. In order to do that and use

503
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:23,840
Speaker 3: that technology, I now have to put a pin password

504
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:28,840
Speaker 3: on my phone, and every time my phone screen goes dark,

505
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:33,919
Speaker 3: I have to use my pin password to access my phone, which, okay,

506
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 3: I get it.

507
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:36,200
Speaker 4: But it's a big.

508
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 3: Pain in the neck, you know. Just just when we're

509
00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:41,120
Speaker 3: sitting here doing the radio show. Tom's not in studio

510
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 3: with me. Tom's one hundred miles north. We're doing this

511
00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:48,320
Speaker 3: by remote, and I've got to text Tom back and forth.

512
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:50,600
Speaker 3: I don't have time to enter another set of numbers

513
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:52,720
Speaker 3: and another okay, and another continue in another.

514
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:53,840
Speaker 6: You know.

515
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:58,720
Speaker 3: Sometimes more technology, you know, sometimes more technology is just

516
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:02,320
Speaker 3: not good, you know. So we uh we we we

517
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 3: take a we take a pause, you know, And.

518
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:11,720
Speaker 1: That's I do have a small question for you. It's

519
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:16,520
Speaker 1: a small one. At ninety nine Ford F two fifty

520
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:21,479
Speaker 1: V ten, is there a way to tell if it

521
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 1: has the two piece spark plugs in it or not?

522
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:30,359
Speaker 3: It does not not. Ninety nine two piece two piece

523
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:34,160
Speaker 3: plugs started I believe two thousand and four model year,

524
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:36,919
Speaker 3: and they only were there for about seven years. They

525
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:38,880
Speaker 3: went two thousand and four through twenty ten.

526
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:41,440
Speaker 1: Oh, I was worried about that. Now you're saying, I

527
00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:42,880
Speaker 1: think I have to do spark plug.

528
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:45,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're safe. Well if you've never had them out.

529
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:46,719
Speaker 3: Now you're talking about plugs that have been in there

530
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:50,359
Speaker 3: almost twenty five years, so you know you're.

531
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:52,440
Speaker 1: Gonna it only has one hundred thousand miles on it.

532
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:54,600
Speaker 3: Well you still you know right now we age from

533
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:56,200
Speaker 3: sitting You know that you know what I'm going to

534
00:26:56,240 --> 00:27:00,119
Speaker 3: tell you, So, yes, sir, you know it's it's pull

535
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:03,199
Speaker 3: the spark plug, wire tubes, coil packs, whatever is on

536
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:07,679
Speaker 3: that off and I would shoot a little bit, a

537
00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:11,200
Speaker 3: little bit of PB blaster in each hole and let

538
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:13,480
Speaker 3: it sit, Yeah, and let it.

539
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:17,080
Speaker 1: Save that you use AutoZone now I've been using him

540
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:17,600
Speaker 1: for years.

541
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:21,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, and just let it soak a little bit, crack

542
00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:24,720
Speaker 3: the plugs loose just a little bit, and give another

543
00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:27,879
Speaker 3: shot at PB it' and let it sit overnight and

544
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:30,040
Speaker 3: you're probably gonna find the next morning you're gonna walk

545
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:31,480
Speaker 3: out there and the plugs are going to walk out

546
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:35,080
Speaker 3: of the head, you know, but you'll know right away,

547
00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:35,639
Speaker 3: all right.

548
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:38,040
Speaker 1: Sir, Thank you, sir.

549
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:38,399
Speaker 4: You're right.

550
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:40,040
Speaker 1: Welcome to have a good rest of the day.

551
00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:42,240
Speaker 3: YouTube, be well, be safe. I'm running any and the

552
00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:43,960
Speaker 3: Car Doctor. We are back right after this.

553
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:55,560
Speaker 4: Don't go away.

554
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:01,480
Speaker 3: Welcome back n the Car Doctor. Harry five five five

555
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:03,159
Speaker 3: six zero nine nine zero zero. I want to talk

556
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:04,680
Speaker 3: a little bit about batteries. I get a lot of

557
00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:06,919
Speaker 3: battery questions during the course of the week. We do

558
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:09,679
Speaker 3: a fair share of batteries at the shop. And you know,

559
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:13,800
Speaker 3: an observation, actually an observation from Kathy, our office girl

560
00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:16,840
Speaker 3: that shows up Wednesday and Friday about her son's jeep.

561
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:20,240
Speaker 3: You know, she pointed out something and she was right,

562
00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:23,080
Speaker 3: and I you know, it's something we've touched on but

563
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 3: haven't really gone deep into. So her son's jeep, it's

564
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:31,119
Speaker 3: a twenty fifteen jeep Grand Cherokee, has a has an

565
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:36,679
Speaker 3: AGM battery underneath the passenger side seat. It's not the

566
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:39,680
Speaker 3: most accessible place. You're not going to get to it easily.

567
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:42,760
Speaker 3: It's it's probably every bit of forty five minutes to

568
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:45,440
Speaker 3: change this battery, and then some because the seat has

569
00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:47,200
Speaker 3: to come all the way forward and up, and you

570
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:48,720
Speaker 3: have to get the cover off, and then you have

571
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:52,600
Speaker 3: to get and it's it's a mess. Then if the

572
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:56,280
Speaker 3: vehicle has start stop right like so many vehicles have

573
00:28:56,400 --> 00:29:00,240
Speaker 3: start stop technology, what Chrysler does in this application on

574
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:03,720
Speaker 3: a newer one, they will put a second battery right

575
00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:06,880
Speaker 3: next to the first to get the first battery out,

576
00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:09,600
Speaker 3: to get the arm, sorry, to get the primary battery out,

577
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:10,360
Speaker 3: you got to take out.

578
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:11,920
Speaker 4: The little battery.

579
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:14,880
Speaker 3: And then you've got to keep in mind, as Kathy

580
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:17,640
Speaker 3: so aptly pointed out, she's kind of observant, which is

581
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:22,120
Speaker 3: why we keep her around. It will it's not the

582
00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:25,400
Speaker 3: most accessible thing you can get to it. It's sort

583
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:28,480
Speaker 3: of buried. So this isn't something This isn't like the

584
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:30,320
Speaker 3: old days where you could change a battery easily in

585
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:32,480
Speaker 3: a parking lot with the hood up. This is both

586
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:35,720
Speaker 3: doors open passenger side front and back door, the seat

587
00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:38,480
Speaker 3: all the way forward, working from front and back. It's

588
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:43,000
Speaker 3: tough to gain access and you've got to be aware.

589
00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:45,960
Speaker 3: It's an AGM battery. It's an absorbing glass MATT battery.

590
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:49,480
Speaker 3: In a fifteen and newer christ if it's a start

591
00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:53,440
Speaker 3: stop vehicle, it's going to have an AGM battery in it.

592
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:56,240
Speaker 3: You know they've got longer life, but they still need

593
00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:58,160
Speaker 3: to be tested on a regular basis. And that was

594
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:00,400
Speaker 3: the point of Kathy's question and so many of or others,

595
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:02,880
Speaker 3: so many of you other questions out there. You've been

596
00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:08,320
Speaker 3: asking me, hey, does uh.

597
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:08,080
Speaker 4: You know, does it?

598
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:08,479
Speaker 6: Does it?

599
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:10,040
Speaker 3: Does it matter when you test it? Or do you

600
00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:13,640
Speaker 3: need to test it? And you know, how does that work?

601
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:13,920
Speaker 1: Right?

602
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:17,960
Speaker 4: So just just be mindful and be aware that.

603
00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:21,840
Speaker 3: Uh, you know, this is something that you know, a

604
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:25,600
Speaker 3: GM batteries technology has changed and they still need to

605
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:28,000
Speaker 3: be tested. You know what really got me thinking about

606
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 3: this was I got gas this morning at the Shell station.

607
00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:32,400
Speaker 3: There's a new Shell station here in town, and it's

608
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:35,239
Speaker 3: actually the old Texico station I used to work at

609
00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:37,080
Speaker 3: as a kid. And I'm looking around and I'm thinking,

610
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:39,760
Speaker 3: you know, Billy, my first boss that I talk about

611
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:42,440
Speaker 3: from time to time. You know, he's gone, the station's gone.

612
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:44,960
Speaker 3: I'm still here, though, I have to think about that.

613
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:48,120
Speaker 3: But a lot of what Billy said still applies. It's

614
00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:50,440
Speaker 3: got to have good breaks, it's got to have good tires,

615
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:54,120
Speaker 3: it's got to have a good battery right, and the

616
00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:57,080
Speaker 3: cooling system has to be adequate, and you know, those

617
00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 3: are still the important things. Even in the car today.

618
00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:02,520
Speaker 3: I think the battery is probably even more important because

619
00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:06,320
Speaker 3: of the electronics on the vehicle. And as Kathy said,

620
00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:08,760
Speaker 3: Can asked, Kathy ask me, she said, can a weak

621
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:12,000
Speaker 3: battery damage electronics? You know, they take a lot of

622
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:16,760
Speaker 3: steps to avoid that, but in some cases, yeah, you know,

623
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:20,880
Speaker 3: it's we've had too. We've taken batteries that were old, tired,

624
00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 3: bed failed to test replace them, and the radio is

625
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:28,040
Speaker 3: locked up or the body computers locked up, and we've

626
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:30,640
Speaker 3: actually had a tie battery cables together and bleed down

627
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:33,080
Speaker 3: the system for fifteen minutes to get it to start

628
00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:36,440
Speaker 3: operating again, because they get hung, just like your desktop

629
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:39,760
Speaker 3: computer gets hung after a Windows update and you know

630
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:41,440
Speaker 3: you've got to turn the computer off and wait for

631
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:45,680
Speaker 3: it to quote unquote bleed out. So just just batteries

632
00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:49,160
Speaker 3: have changed, you know, it's it's there's an awful lot

633
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:50,640
Speaker 3: of reading you could do. I'm going to send you

634
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:53,840
Speaker 3: out to auto batteries dot com, of course, our preferred

635
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:57,640
Speaker 3: site for finding information about batteries. They talk about a GM,

636
00:31:57,680 --> 00:32:01,120
Speaker 3: they talk about standard lead battery reas they you know,

637
00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:02,640
Speaker 3: but it's a good source. A lot of questions, a

638
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:05,480
Speaker 3: lot of answers out there, but just just be thinking

639
00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:08,760
Speaker 3: about it, and you know, and then last, I want

640
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:10,400
Speaker 3: to tell you that, yeah, you're sitting on top of

641
00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:14,640
Speaker 3: that battery and those jeep in Chrysler products. You know,

642
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:18,560
Speaker 3: it's it's it's a concern. So technology is changing. We

643
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:21,000
Speaker 3: have to change with it. We've got to get educated,

644
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:23,280
Speaker 3: We've got to get smart auto batteries dot com. Let

645
00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:24,960
Speaker 3: me pull over, take the pause. I'm ronning any and

646
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:26,960
Speaker 3: the car doctor. I'll be back right after this. Don't

647
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:42,320
Speaker 3: go away, welcome back, run Nanny the card doctor are

648
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:44,880
Speaker 3: winding it down this week. You know, if you think

649
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:48,120
Speaker 3: technology hasn't changed, and you know, I want to add

650
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:50,520
Speaker 3: one last thing. You know, Kathy got me thinking. You know,

651
00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:52,800
Speaker 3: she's saying, yeah, but you're sitting on the battery. That's right, Kath.

652
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:56,200
Speaker 3: And if the cover is missing, if the technician doesn't

653
00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:58,880
Speaker 3: install the cover back under the seat in a spot

654
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:03,800
Speaker 3: you can't easily see, you know, all that's being exposed

655
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:08,160
Speaker 3: to inside the vehicle. You wonder, battery fumes, battery gassing,

656
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:11,640
Speaker 3: although aging batteries don't do it as often, or as

657
00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:14,480
Speaker 3: much or at all. But yeah, you know what, a

658
00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:16,600
Speaker 3: lot of this depends on everybody doing their job correctly.

659
00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:18,440
Speaker 4: So I get it. It's a safety concern.

660
00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:21,200
Speaker 3: I was reading an article, you know, talking about technology changing.

661
00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:23,480
Speaker 3: I was reading an article on Jelopnik. I think it's

662
00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:25,760
Speaker 3: this is a jelopnik dot com or jelopnik dot org.

663
00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:28,800
Speaker 3: I'm not sure which, but I've got to go check this.

664
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:30,680
Speaker 3: I'm not aware of this, but now I am. But

665
00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:35,480
Speaker 3: Toyota a start stop technology in a Toyota. They've actually

666
00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:39,800
Speaker 3: got a fault code that will set based on how

667
00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:42,080
Speaker 3: many times the vehicle has started, So if the vehicle,

668
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:45,840
Speaker 3: Toyota will allow. The article says Toyota will allow three

669
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:50,880
Speaker 3: hundred and eighty four thousand starts before it throws a code.

670
00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:52,680
Speaker 3: And then they want you to put a starter in

671
00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:55,800
Speaker 3: the car. So I guess there is a you know,

672
00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:57,520
Speaker 3: there is a limit to how much abuse they're going

673
00:33:57,560 --> 00:33:59,880
Speaker 3: to let the starter take and what's going to happen

674
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:01,320
Speaker 3: to it. But now I've got to go find a

675
00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:04,400
Speaker 3: Toyota with start stop and look and see if there's

676
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:06,320
Speaker 3: a reset and if there's a fault cort, I'm gonna

677
00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:08,000
Speaker 3: have to look it up in all data. I'm sure

678
00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:10,680
Speaker 3: all data will have it. And but isn't that something right?

679
00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:12,080
Speaker 3: You never thought Hey, I've got a fault cote.

680
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:13,879
Speaker 4: What's wrong with it? You need a starter. We never

681
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:15,200
Speaker 4: thought things would be that simple.

682
00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:16,120
Speaker 7: You know, I was.

683
00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:18,680

684
00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:21,640
Speaker 5: we've got to start stopping those trucks, right every mail

685
00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:24,960
Speaker 5: box that thing stops and then starts. Well, Tom, listen,

688
00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:32,719
Speaker 3: going to be coming up. Ask any landscaper how many

00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:34,759
Speaker 3: how many? How many loans do they cut a day?

Speaker 3: starts fifty times every day, six days a week, times

Speaker 3: the length of the season.

693
00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:45,800
