1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:02,280
Speaker 1: Ron Ananian, I could tell it was going to be

2
00:00:02,320 --> 00:00:05,080
Speaker 1: a two full moon to full moon month, or maybe

3
00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:09,120
Speaker 1: a two full month to full moon month week at

4
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:11,360
Speaker 1: the shop and got a new mouth. New mouth. I

5
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:12,960
Speaker 1: have a new mouth. Will help me do things on

6
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:25,799
Speaker 1: radio where sound is very important, even Mountain. The Car

7
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:29,080
Speaker 1: Doctor two thousand eight, Volvo P seventy came in with

8
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 1: a vibration issue. I always think of the beach Boys, right,

9
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:35,680
Speaker 1: good vibrations, bad vibrations. This was definitely bad vibration. Welcome

10
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:38,840
Speaker 1: to the radio home of Ron and Anian the Car Doctor,

11
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:43,560
Speaker 1: since this is where car owners the world overturned to

12
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 1: for their definitive opinion on automotive repair. If you're mechanics

13
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,559
Speaker 1: giving you a busy signal, pick up the phone and

14
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:53,959
Speaker 1: call in the garage doors are open, but I am

15
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 1: here to take your call at eight five five six,

16
00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 1: and now he is running. I passed out on the

17
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 1: couch about three hours ago here at the studio, and

18
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 1: when I woke up, Forrest Gump was on. They were

19
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 1: they were playing it on the TV, and I woke

20
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:14,480
Speaker 1: up to that moment where he says life is like

21
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:16,400
Speaker 1: a box of chocolate. She never quite sure what you're

22
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:19,320
Speaker 1: gonna get And I said, you know, that's a lot

23
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 1: like ought to repair. I never I never thought of

24
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 1: it like that until I saw it right up there

25
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 1: on the big screen. You know, you're never gonna quite

26
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:30,199
Speaker 1: sure what you're gonna get here with this show today,

27
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:31,480
Speaker 1: so I'm just warning you. I'm kind of in a

28
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 1: goofy mood, so let's see what happens. I guess my

29
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 1: first question for you is too much money to spend

30
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:44,040
Speaker 1: repairing an on nine Honda c RV? Would you take

31
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 1: that as an annoyance? If repair shop told you that's

32
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 1: how much work your car needed, would you believe them?

33
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 1: Would you do it? Or would you seek out the

34
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 1: advice of a second opinion, which is what the owner

35
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 1: of the Honda did. And it landed on my doorstep.

36
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 1: The only catches I didn't know. I didn't know about

37
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 1: the sixty and hund all our quote until after the fact.

38
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 1: And it's not something that normally comes up. But you know,

39
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 1: you're just as a mechanic, I think it's part of

40
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 1: my job to be inquisitive. Listen. I get up every

41
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:16,640
Speaker 1: day every day trying to be the best at what

42
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 1: it is I'm gonna do that day. I don't know

43
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:20,639
Speaker 1: anybody that's successful or anybody in the right mind that

44
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 1: gets up and says, I want to be a jerk today.

45
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 1: You know, I don't want to be successful. I want

46
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:26,920
Speaker 1: to do everything wrong. Why do we do that? As

47
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:30,359
Speaker 1: human beings? We want to be good at at being human, right,

48
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 1: That's part of what successful and good people do. So

49
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 1: every car that comes in, you know, sometimes it's not

50
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,839
Speaker 1: just to repair. Sometimes it's why did this break? Or

51
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 1: why am I fixing it? Why isn't the last shop

52
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 1: fixing it? And you just kind of wonder in the

53
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 1: back of your mind. There's so nine hans to CRV

54
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 1: came in and it wanted a state inspection. No problem,

55
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 1: we can do state inspection. And he asked me, he said, hey, Ron,

56
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 1: you know there's an exhaust leak. You know, can you

57
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 1: fix the exhaust leak? So I passed state inspection and

58
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:01,360
Speaker 1: I said, well, Tom, you know I really don't need

59
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 1: an exhaust system to not leak. In New Jersey and

60
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 1: New Jersey they don't care. All we care about is paperwork,

61
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 1: O dometer, license plates, and then that might even be

62
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 1: an advisory now and that the check engine lights not on,

63
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,919
Speaker 1: and that there's no code stored, so I said, but

64
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 1: let me look at it. I'll do the inspection, and

65
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:22,520
Speaker 1: then I look at the exhaust leak and all quote,

66
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 1: I'll give you some numbers. So I did the inspection,

67
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,080
Speaker 1: easy peasy, went right through like I thought it would.

68
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 1: And I looked at the exhaust well, Honda, and I

69
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 1: see a lot of it, and this seems to be

70
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 1: a Japanese car thing. I don't know why, but it

71
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 1: seems to be a jap In Toyota Honda. Nissans do this.

72
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 1: They weather the bolts and the nuts, they just they

73
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 1: just round off into nothing. There's just nothing there and

74
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 1: it just becomes smooth. And the nuts and studs that

75
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 1: hold where the cat and the middle pipe came together

76
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 1: had just separated. It was just there by tension of

77
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 1: the rubber hangar is just kind of keeping it and

78
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 1: made an exhaust leak. So I said, yeah, Tom, I said,

79
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 1: it really needs exhaust from the cat back, not counting

80
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 1: the cat, but that pipe, the over the axle pipe

81
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 1: and the muffler back, because the pipe at the other

82
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 1: end had rotted and was no good and it this

83
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 1: became a case of let me, let me do the exhaust.

84
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 1: I looked up exhaust and I said, you know, this

85
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:26,919
Speaker 1: is like you know of exhaust. I said that the

86
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 1: catalytic converter may give me a little bit of problem.

87
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to heat the studs and back them out.

88
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 1: I gotta figure out how I'm gonna get those out

89
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 1: because there's nothing there to grab onto. And he said, oh, okay, great.

90
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 1: I said, you know, this could be eight hundred bucks.

91
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 1: He says, fine, do what you gotta do. So I

92
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,840
Speaker 1: did it. And as I'm doing it, I'm saying, and

93
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 1: you know, you get in the car and you notice

94
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:47,719
Speaker 1: there's a Honda oil change sticker in the top left corner.

95
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 1: It was just done. And you say to yourself, how

96
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 1: could the Honda dealer not try to repair this car?

97
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 1: How could any repair shop not try to repair this car?

98
00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:00,480
Speaker 1: It's an obvious exhaustful and so far it's seems like

99
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 1: what I have in the way of this new customer

100
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 1: is a willing candidate for some water repair. Like you

101
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:07,920
Speaker 1: get up every day, you go to work, you try

102
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 1: to make a living, Like, why wouldn't you do this?

103
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 1: I did the repair, not a problem. You know, heated

104
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:15,280
Speaker 1: up the studs. I figured out how I heated up

105
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 1: the studs, popped them out with my little ball peen hammer.

106
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 1: I was able to figure out a method so that

107
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 1: I wouldn't hurt the cat that got the studs out.

108
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 1: Put it all together quiet, nice, painted it up. I

109
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 1: always paint my exhaust systems. That slows down the rust

110
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:28,280
Speaker 1: process that you know, three years from now you'll be

111
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:32,280
Speaker 1: putting exhaust on it again. Anyway, in her bucks eight

112
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:36,119
Speaker 1: fifty six and change with tax something like that. Tom

113
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 1: shows up and, um, we're exchanging some pleasant trees. You know,

114
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 1: we're six ft social distancing apart. He's standing out in

115
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 1: the middle of the parking lot and I'm I'm, you know,

116
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:47,719
Speaker 1: picking up his credit cards from the ground, and you know,

117
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 1: we're doing business kind of weird these days. And I

118
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 1: started talking to him and I said, Tom, I said,

119
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 1: you know, I gotta ask, and if one thing old

120
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 1: ages major is you just you're just blunt? Hey, how

121
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:01,719
Speaker 1: come to a shop didn't fix this? Maybe it's not

122
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:05,359
Speaker 1: old days, maybe it's just wisdom. I don't know. And

123
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 1: he said, well, he said, I said, didn't they want

124
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:09,600
Speaker 1: to fix it? He goes, oh, yeah, he said, how

125
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 1: did you know? I said, well, fresh oil change stickers,

126
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 1: usually the giveaway that tells me that it was somewhere else,

127
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 1: and you know you didn't want to do it, I said,

128
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 1: you know, I always want to know what did the

129
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 1: last shop do to annoy that customer, what made that,

130
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 1: what made that old customer of that last repair shop

131
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:26,480
Speaker 1: a new customer of mind, because I want to make

132
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 1: sure I never do that, and I want to make

133
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 1: sure be that it was a reasonable failure on the

134
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:34,720
Speaker 1: part of the last shop. It wasn't something like the

135
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,280
Speaker 1: guy didn't like people with mustashes, in which case I'm out.

136
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 1: So he said, you know, Ron, I've been going there

137
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,039
Speaker 1: for a couple of years, and they always seemed to

138
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 1: be okay, he goes, You know, I lived my way

139
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 1: through the two oil changes because it always grows from

140
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 1: the sixty dollar oil change up the three bucks, because

141
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 1: they always find something wrong. I said, okay, he said,

142
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 1: But this time, he said, it just didn't make any

143
00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 1: sense to me. He said, they saw the exhaust league

144
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:02,719
Speaker 1: and I said, okay, let me guess they wanted to

145
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:04,919
Speaker 1: put a catalytic converter on the car. He goes, No,

146
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 1: he goes, he says, yeah, but that was only part

147
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 1: of it. He said, the exhaust system they wanted to

148
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 1: spend thirty seven on because they wanted to do a

149
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 1: cat they wanted to do a manifold. They wanted to

150
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 1: change everything. And I said why and he said, I

151
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 1: don't know. And we talked about it a little bit more,

152
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 1: and I said, you know, I'm going to take a

153
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 1: guess at this time, because I've seen this before. I

154
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 1: wonder if the dealership has anybody capable of handing oxy

155
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 1: is settling torches, or if they have torches on premise.

156
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 1: I don't know that dealers do that. And I'm not

157
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 1: trying to discount all dealers and throw them under the bus.

158
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 1: I just I wonder because there's no logical reason. It

159
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 1: wasn't that hard to do. I wonder why, because and

160
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 1: then it gets worse. And then Tom said he goes round.

161
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 1: So it was thirty seven for exhaust, and then they

162
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 1: wanted to sell me four shocks for struts, all the fluids, tires,

163
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 1: and I had looked the car over and I didn't

164
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 1: there was nothing there this car needed. It was sixty

165
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 1: eight hundred bucks by the time they were done, and

166
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 1: he said, you know, he said, listen, I was born,

167
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 1: but I wasn't born yesterday. And he said, my dad

168
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 1: was in the entire business when he was alive and

169
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 1: work and and Tom's probably in his forties. And he said,

170
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 1: you know, he says, I know enough that you know,

171
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 1: I'm not in the business. He says, but I know

172
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 1: enough when I feel like I'm getting pressured, he said,

173
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 1: something doesn't make any sense. And he said, that's why

174
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 1: I ended up on your doorstep. And he said, I

175
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 1: like what you're doing. I like what I say. And

176
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:34,439
Speaker 1: you know, number one, he gave me some good reinforcement

177
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:38,959
Speaker 1: and feedback made me feel good. And two, I understand

178
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:43,320
Speaker 1: why people leave other repair shops. Somebody didn't explain that right,

179
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 1: and somebody didn't offer an explanation. And I got a

180
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 1: feeling he wasn't too comfortable there in the first place.

181
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 1: He was just looking for something else, but he didn't

182
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 1: know where to go. You know what, it repairs a

183
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:57,959
Speaker 1: lot like dating, right you're you know, let's try it

184
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,319
Speaker 1: out and see if it works. And you know, is

185
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:02,840
Speaker 1: is it a good is it a good relationship? Because

186
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:06,440
Speaker 1: that's really what ought to repair is about. People will

187
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:09,680
Speaker 1: walk in the door and you know, ask for things

188
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,079
Speaker 1: and you try to accommodate them. That's what a repair

189
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 1: shop is supposed to be. But a repair shop is

190
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 1: not supposed to be. Is over indulging. There's some places

191
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 1: where you have to draw the line for safety, for business,

192
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:26,319
Speaker 1: for practicality. And Tom, you know, he was right there,

193
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:28,720
Speaker 1: he got it. He said, Look, I'm glad to spend

194
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:30,320
Speaker 1: the money. He said. As a matter of fact, he

195
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:31,839
Speaker 1: asked me, he said, could you give me a quote

196
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:33,839
Speaker 1: on struts? And I did, and I said, but I

197
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 1: think you're wasting your money. There's nothing wrong with the car.

198
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 1: It's got a hundred thirty thousand miles on it, it's

199
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 1: twelve years eleven, twelve years old, and it rides fine.

200
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:46,960
Speaker 1: They're not leaking. I don't see any issues. And he's like, really, yeah, dude,

201
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 1: save your money. We can spend your money later. One

202
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 1: thing I've learned forty five years of abort to repair,

203
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:53,200
Speaker 1: sixty plus years on the planet. It's easy to spend money.

204
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 1: We can always spend it later. And I guess sixty

205
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 1: is too much. It's actually when it doesn't need it.

206
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:04,559
Speaker 1: And the point of this opening conversation, remember, today's like

207
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 1: a box of chocolates. Day is if you have your doubts,

208
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:12,319
Speaker 1: if you're not quite sure, if when you leave your

209
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 1: repair shop there's that nagging feeling in your head what

210
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 1: did I just do and did I really need it?

211
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:22,199
Speaker 1: Or if you've got a quote for the same get

212
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 1: a second opinion. It pays, it really does. The worst

213
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:28,679
Speaker 1: that happens is again, it's like that dating thing. You

214
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 1: going on a date with somebody else. You find out, Gee,

215
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 1: I really like the way what's his name or what's

216
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:35,079
Speaker 1: your name? Folded the napkins and ate their lunch or

217
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:37,679
Speaker 1: you're gonna find out, you know what. I didn't like

218
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 1: that so much. It really annoyed me. I'm staying here,

219
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 1: so just something to think about and food for thought,

220
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 1: no pun intended. As we open up this hour of

221
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:48,839
Speaker 1: the car doctor. Um, yeah, I take my car to

222
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:50,440
Speaker 1: this place in New Jersey, and you want to know

223
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:52,680
Speaker 1: what really annoys me about that place? God? Are you

224
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:55,960
Speaker 1: still here? I have to see you. Yeah, but I

225
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:59,679
Speaker 1: have a smiling face. How are you today? Oh? You

226
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 1: got something on your about your face? But Tom, could

227
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:04,959
Speaker 1: you would you? You know, listen, I hear your stories.

228
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 1: When you go into your local Ford dealer, you know,

229
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 1: and and you know they respect you. They talk to you.

230
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 1: They work with you. Would would you? Would you spend something? No?

231
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:17,839
Speaker 1: Whenever they get that new guy. Is the time when

232
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:19,200
Speaker 1: I sit there and I just looked him in the

233
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:21,840
Speaker 1: eye and go no. Like like the time I brought

234
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 1: my daughter's car and for inspection. She said that. They

235
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:26,600
Speaker 1: came out and they told me there was a problem

236
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 1: with a sway bar and you had just looked at

237
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 1: it and there wasn't anything wrong. And I looked at him.

238
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 1: I said fail it, and they went excuse me, I said,

239
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 1: you heard me, fail it. They can't. They can't. I said,

240
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 1: there's nothing to fail it. On. By the way, yourself out?

241
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:39,080
Speaker 1: Are you done talking now? Can I tell you why?

Speaker 1: Thank you? You're running late into the break? We gotta go.

263
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 1: care of those that took care of us, Ryan and Maine.

264
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 1: Oh nine camera, how can I help you today? Sir? Hey, Ron,

265
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 1: I have to uh, I have to thank you, sir.

266
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:56,200
Speaker 1: You helped me a couple of years back. Oh six

267
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 1: camera had a battery lay come on and I ended

268
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 1: up figuring out what play seen the alternator and it

269
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:02,960
Speaker 1: ran fine enough for me to sell it and get

270
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 1: a corollas. So thank you for that. You're very welcome.

271
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 1: And my wife's car just recently the battery light came

272
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:12,679
Speaker 1: on and I was like, oh boy, I know what

273
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 1: that is. Um, so I had it load tested it.

274
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:21,439
Speaker 1: Alternator was bad. Um went and replaced the alternator with

275
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 1: her father six camera six camera ry V six camera,

276
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 1: six camera. Yell, isn't that a fun job? That was

277
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:35,080
Speaker 1: not a fun job at all. Take the front bumper

278
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 1: off and all that. Isn't that great? Well, it was

279
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 1: even worse than the four cylinder because we uh, we

280
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:44,960
Speaker 1: got into my O six camera, replaced the alternator. Everything

281
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:46,960
Speaker 1: was fine and as we were pulling on the tension

282
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 1: or to get the belt back on, the tension arms

283
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 1: snapped in half. So why luckily the O'Reilly that was

284
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:57,960
Speaker 1: local to me actually had one because I had it

285
00:13:58,000 --> 00:13:59,679
Speaker 1: in a garage. It had to be out of there

286
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 1: that day, and luckily they had one. And actually getting

287
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:07,199
Speaker 1: the tensioner on the Newton one was worse than doing

288
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 1: the alternator. Well, that's because you know the tension on

289
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:14,600
Speaker 1: that belt is that the tensioner is now it's a

290
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:17,680
Speaker 1: fresh tensioner. You know what I'm saying. It's it's a

291
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 1: fresh tension er. So it's you know, that's the amount

292
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 1: of load. But that just listen, look at the positive,

293
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 1: Orillyota Parts had it. Isn't it amazing how many parts

294
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 1: are Rileyoto Parts has. I never hear anybody say, well,

295
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 1: I went to Rileyoto Parts and they didn't have it.

296
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 1: It's usually Orileyota Parts had it. It's it's just staggering.

297
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 1: Think about the number of numbers, the number of numbers,

298
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 1: if that's the way to say it, the stocking numbers

299
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 1: of the skews as they call it, that they have

300
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 1: to keep an inventory in house to meet all the needs.

301
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 1: It's it's and they move things around. It's staggering how

302
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 1: they do it. It really is. It's it's quite an operation. Well,

303
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 1: I'm glad it worked out everything. Yeah, that's also why

304
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 1: I like Toyota, because everybody has the parts. They're so common. Right,

305
00:14:57,280 --> 00:14:59,360
Speaker 1: Everything else going right with the O nine camera with

306
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 1: the alternator installed, so that so that so the ALPNA

307
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 1: was fine. We replaced that. But then my wife got

308
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 1: the car back and she wasn't getting any heat. She

309
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:14,000
Speaker 1: was getting mildly warm heat. The A C would work fine,

310
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 1: but when you crank it over to the hot position,

311
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 1: it was it wasn't warm at all. I mean it

312
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 1: was warm, but it wasn't hot. And so I'm no

313
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 1: mechanic by any means, and I'm sitting there trying to

314
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 1: figure this out. I'm like, all right, So I used

315
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 1: what I really called about was how important it is

316
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:33,320
Speaker 1: to listen to you, the car doctor, because I sat

317
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 1: there and I said, all right, sit down, figure out

318
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 1: what works. Anything that works, check that off the list.

319
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 1: When you get to the point where you hit something

320
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 1: that doesn't work, that might be here issue diagnosed by,

321
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 1: tell me what's do and then you'll know what's been perfect. Right.

322
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:52,800
Speaker 1: So I sat there, I checked, I moved the dials

323
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 1: back and forth. I could hear the dampers moving. I

324
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 1: checked the fluid. The fluid was a little low, so

325
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 1: that was my first indication. Then I got and then

326
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 1: I reached underneath the hood and I felt the two

327
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 1: hoses going to the heater core. One of them was hot,

328
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 1: the other one wasn't hot. So I said, okay, there's

329
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 1: something going on in the system. We had had to

330
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:16,440
Speaker 1: undo some of the hoses of the system to get

331
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 1: to the alternator and replace it. So my first thought was, okay,

332
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 1: there's air in the system. So I researched it a

333
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 1: little bit and I was like figured out how to

334
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:31,440
Speaker 1: bleed the system. Popped the radiator cap off, topped it off,

335
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 1: ran the car had the funnel in the top of

336
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 1: the radiator. The level rose up, it bubbled really badly,

337
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 1: and then the bubbles subsided, and then all of a sudden,

338
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 1: it sucked all the stuff back down and I topped

339
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 1: it back off, put the cap back on, the car

340
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 1: ran great, I let it cool down, came back, popped

341
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:52,840
Speaker 1: the cap again and the level had dropped quite a

342
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 1: bit against I topped it back off, the cap back on,

343
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 1: and now her heater is running perfect. And you know

344
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 1: they yet you had to pull the up paradi eater

345
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 1: host to get that alternator, and I believe right right, yeah, yeah,

346
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 1: yeah yeah, And we actually at one point we had

347
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 1: to take the front right wheel off and going through

348
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:12,720
Speaker 1: the wheel well to get to a certain like bolt

349
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 1: right for the tensioner and for the alternator too for

350
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:19,800
Speaker 1: the bottom. Yeah, it's it's hey, listen, you know what that's.

351
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 1: But yeah, I'll tell you what you did. Great. By

352
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 1: the way, we opened at eight o'clock on Monday, So

353
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:25,879
Speaker 1: if you want a job as a mechanic, just be

354
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:29,360
Speaker 1: on the doorstep. Because you did I just listen to you, sir.

355
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 1: That that was the reason I called. That was like

356
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:34,119
Speaker 1: everything fixed now. But I just want to tell people

357
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:37,920
Speaker 1: listen to ron because thank you don't. It was funny

358
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 1: because when researching it, there was a comment that I

359
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:43,480
Speaker 1: had seen in a lady. Instead of, you know, doing

360
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:46,119
Speaker 1: what I did, she just assumed the heater core was

361
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 1: bad and spent like seven bucks getting a brand new

362
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 1: heater core and it installed, and then she read and

363
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 1: then she finally had read the post and was like,

364
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:57,359
Speaker 1: oh my god, I could have just done this and

365
00:17:57,359 --> 00:17:59,239
Speaker 1: seen if that was the issue before I did all

366
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:01,960
Speaker 1: that work. It's it's staggering, and you know it's I

367
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 1: don't want to spend any money. I'll just change parts.

368
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:07,280
Speaker 1: Why diagnose anything, Ryan, I gotta go. I appreciate the call.

369
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:10,040
Speaker 1: It's been fun you you'd be well up there in Maine,

370
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 1: and I'm glad that your wife will let you back

371
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 1: in the house now that the heats fixing your car

372
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 1: is working. Only kidding, brother, you you have a good

373
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:18,160
Speaker 1: rest of the weekend. I'm on Annie in the Car Doctor.

00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:55,359
Speaker 1: We are back right after this. Welcome back. We're on

375
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:57,480
Speaker 1: Ning of the Car Doctor. The Great Eddie van Helen.

376
00:18:57,520 --> 00:18:59,640
Speaker 1: We lost this week and thanks for the music. Eddie.

377
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 1: We ap pre ship very very much. Let's get over

378
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:05,680
Speaker 1: to Keith in Indianapolis talking about some oil filters and

379
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 1: other questions. Keith, Welcome to the car Doctor. How can

380
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:11,399
Speaker 1: I help? Hey, Ron, I just wanna thank you. I

381
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:12,920
Speaker 1: talked to you a while ago. I had an O

382
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 1: Naine in Toyota See in a minivan on the regional

383
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 1: owner bought a brand new They've got a service bullet

384
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:21,480
Speaker 1: and out regarding their cam phasers. And I guess basically,

385
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:23,680
Speaker 1: when you shut the engine authors a pin that engages

386
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:27,359
Speaker 1: to lock the timing place, so when you restarted until

387
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:31,359
Speaker 1: the oil gets up there to operate the variable valve timing. Well,

388
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:34,359
Speaker 1: apparently these pins there's a they just quit engaging and

389
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:36,240
Speaker 1: you get a brief rattle at start up until the

390
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:38,680
Speaker 1: oil gets up there. And they've got a service bullets

391
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:41,119
Speaker 1: and affects all their V six three and Athlete or engines.

392
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:45,359
Speaker 1: And uh. Anyway, they quoted me six thousand dollars to

393
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:47,680
Speaker 1: do the job. And I talked to called and talked

394
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:49,800
Speaker 1: to you about it, and you know, we kind of

395
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:52,080
Speaker 1: went over the pros and cons and what the options were.

396
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 1: After much fighting and ringing with the dealership in the manufacturer,

397
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 1: we got down to about thirty six hundred dollars that

398
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,280
Speaker 1: they will get a job for. So I went ahead

399
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 1: and did that. And because, like you say, thirty six

400
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:09,119
Speaker 1: hundred dollars to fix it or thirty four thousand to

401
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:12,919
Speaker 1: replace it, so you know, but anyway, I appreciate your

402
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:17,200
Speaker 1: advice on that. The ultimate and then the other question

403
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 1: I have sawt I changed my own oil. I used

404
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:22,960
Speaker 1: synthetic and in both my vehicles, but I used the

405
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 1: Wicks soil filters. And I've noticed this time I was

406
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:28,280
Speaker 1: in O'Reilly they also have a Wix XP line and

407
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 1: it says that it's specifically formulated for synthetic oils. Now

408
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:35,240
Speaker 1: I only do I only go five thousand miles changes,

409
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:36,960
Speaker 1: so I'm not trying to stretch it out or anything

410
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 1: like that. About a three dollar cost difference from the

411
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:42,080
Speaker 1: Wicks to the Wis XP. And I'm just curious if

412
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:44,359
Speaker 1: you've seen this filter and if you think it's worth

413
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 1: using over the regular Wicks. I've seen the filter. Great questions, Keith.

414
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:52,200
Speaker 1: I've seen the filter, okay, And the filter is geared

415
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:56,440
Speaker 1: towards higher mileage as my understanding. So if you want

416
00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:57,880
Speaker 1: to go, you know, if you want to go ten

417
00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:01,560
Speaker 1: thousand miles or eight thousand miles instead of five, you know,

418
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:04,520
Speaker 1: you listen, it's you get what you spend for, all right,

419
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:08,480
Speaker 1: it's it's the one I don't understand is okay, not

420
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:11,479
Speaker 1: not to get away from your question, but the filter

421
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:16,440
Speaker 1: that a lot of the manufacturers use, the Toyota dealer,

422
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:20,679
Speaker 1: the Honda dealer, the GM dealer, that's the same filter.

423
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:24,399
Speaker 1: They haven't to my knowledge, they have not improved and

424
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 1: come up with an XP or a high standard filter

425
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 1: like Wicks and some of the other manufacturers. And yet

426
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:33,800
Speaker 1: they're stretching the oil changes from five to eight to ten,

427
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 1: you know, right to the maximum to the edge as

428
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:41,560
Speaker 1: as as you learned with this repair. Okay, oil just

429
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:43,760
Speaker 1: does so much more. You want have a good time,

430
00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 1: you want to do you want to do something fun,

431
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 1: Go out online and go to Castrol dot com, all

432
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:52,880
Speaker 1: right and read about all the different I was doing

433
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:56,439
Speaker 1: this just the other day, all the different viscosities of

434
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 1: oil that are out there now, and Castrol has all

435
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:02,199
Speaker 1: of them. Did you know they make a five W

436
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 1: fifty oil. How's that? How's that? For a standard they

437
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 1: make a five fifty and they make a ten W

438
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 1: sixty for certain cars. So, you know, oil has gotten

439
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:19,560
Speaker 1: to be so precise, and it really is. You know,

440
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:22,159
Speaker 1: castral slogan is its liquid engineering. And I've come to

441
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:25,800
Speaker 1: the conclusion they're right because it's it's it's so precise.

442
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:28,560
Speaker 1: Look at what happened, you know, and I'm sure you

443
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 1: use the best oil you could find in your in

444
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 1: your sienna, but you still you still had a problem

445
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:38,080
Speaker 1: with the phasers. And oil just does so much more

446
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 1: than lubricating today, lubricating is probably the third thing on

447
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 1: the list, you know, it's it's it's just doing so

448
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 1: many other things. We're using it to control valve train,

449
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:51,040
Speaker 1: We're using it to lubricate, We're using it to cool,

450
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:56,639
Speaker 1: We're using it to just everything. There's hydraulic function and

451
00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 1: all sorts of things going on with oil today. So yeah,

452
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 1: you know, you're filter you're using, if it's a Wix,

453
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 1: if it's the Wicks standard duty filter is fine. If

454
00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 1: you're using a good quality synthetic oil, that's great, um,

455
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:13,400
Speaker 1: you know, but just don't go the other way. Don't

456
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:15,480
Speaker 1: start cheapening it out. I like, I like a five

457
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:19,200
Speaker 1: thousand mile interval on synthetic. I know it's some people

458
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:21,479
Speaker 1: will argue and say it's a little premature. To me,

459
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:24,600
Speaker 1: it's not a race. It's it's it's longevity, and I

460
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:27,960
Speaker 1: wanna you know, my other argument is, you've got a

461
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:32,159
Speaker 1: two thousand nine vehicle. You said, right, so it's eleven

462
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:35,639
Speaker 1: going on twelve model years old. Do you want to do?

463
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:37,920
Speaker 1: Do you want to look at it more or less?

464
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:41,720
Speaker 1: The older you get, you know, it's it's when when

465
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:43,920
Speaker 1: when when you're a kid, you didn't need to go

466
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:45,760
Speaker 1: you know, you didn't need to go home. You were

467
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:48,359
Speaker 1: more durable. You kind of stayed out all night and

468
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:50,520
Speaker 1: did what you had to do. And the older you get,

469
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:51,879
Speaker 1: you need to rest a little bit more and you

470
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:54,560
Speaker 1: need to watch yourself a little bit more, just like

471
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:56,920
Speaker 1: just like the human being. The car is the same way,

472
00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 1: you know, to get them to the car and look

473
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:02,200
Speaker 1: around every five thousand miles, six thousand miles, you're gonna

474
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:04,560
Speaker 1: get longevity out of that vehicle. I got in the

475
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 1: Ranger the other Let me just say, I got in

476
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:09,840
Speaker 1: the Ranger the other day. My nine seven Ranger that

477
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 1: you guys have heard me talk about three years and

478
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:14,120
Speaker 1: years and years. I've been talking about the Rangers since

479
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:17,320
Speaker 1: I got it used in two thousand four, and you know,

480
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:19,560
Speaker 1: synthetic oil changed the oil. I changed it all on

481
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 1: that every four thousand miles just because it's the shop

482
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:23,880
Speaker 1: truck and it sits a lot. But you know it's

483
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 1: got two hundred nineteen thousand, eight hundred twenty eight miles

484
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:31,240
Speaker 1: on it now, original engine and it's just you know,

485
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:37,119
Speaker 1: um on that repair. What amazed me about that was

486
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 1: not only did they replace all four camp phasers, they

487
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:42,760
Speaker 1: actually replaced one of the entire camp shafts is apparently

488
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:45,439
Speaker 1: part of this repair procedure. It just amazed me. I

489
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:48,880
Speaker 1: didn't even make it two hundred thousand miles and they're

490
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:51,000
Speaker 1: having to tear the whole engine apart, and it was

491
00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:54,280
Speaker 1: a manufacturing defect and without me fighting like I did.

492
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:57,000
Speaker 1: I mean, they were put the whole six thousand dollar

493
00:24:57,080 --> 00:25:01,520
Speaker 1: repairing my lap and say sorry about you and early, Yeah,

494
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:05,440
Speaker 1: it's it's because well I can tell you why. Here's

495
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 1: my theory, because did your did you don't know them

496
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:11,800
Speaker 1: any money on the car? Obviously it's an No. Nine right,

497
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 1: you have the check cleared, So hey, Ryan, you want

498
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 1: to come down Keith. You want to come down by

499
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:19,639
Speaker 1: another one you know will be the car. You know,

500
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 1: it's it's, it's, it's you know, and you know one

501
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 1: of the things. You start looking at motor oil and

502
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:29,679
Speaker 1: the abuses of motor oil and how it gets beat up. Um,

503
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:31,960
Speaker 1: you want to read something really interesting, and I think

504
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:34,359
Speaker 1: Castroll has the information on their website. Go look up

505
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:38,520
Speaker 1: about um sheer strength as h E E R, I

506
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:41,040
Speaker 1: believe is the way it's spelled, the sheer point of

507
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 1: oil and how oil you know, I think about it.

508
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:46,320
Speaker 1: The engine sits and then you go started up on

509
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:48,840
Speaker 1: a on a cold Indianapolis morning or in Indiana morning,

510
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:51,760
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden that you know, you're grinding

511
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:54,280
Speaker 1: metal against metal until the oil pressure comes up and

512
00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:58,440
Speaker 1: and floats the component. Alright, I'll say it like that. Um,

513
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:01,120
Speaker 1: you know, it's just you want to do something interesting.

514
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:03,920
Speaker 1: If you think you've got engine wear, take a little

515
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:08,080
Speaker 1: dixie cup of old oil and put it in the microwave.

516
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:11,800
Speaker 1: All right, don't tell anybody, here's a trick. All right.

517
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:13,439
Speaker 1: Take take a little bit of the oil, put it

518
00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:16,919
Speaker 1: in a dixie cup in the microwave, and microwaver for

519
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:22,880
Speaker 1: ten seconds. See if you get any sparks, right, okayments,

520
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:26,359
Speaker 1: If there's metal fragments in it, you'll get sparks. If

521
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:29,080
Speaker 1: there isn't, try try it with clean oil. Try it

522
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 1: with dirty oil. Look at the difference. Now, if if

523
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:34,720
Speaker 1: you're really nervous, then take the oil out and send

524
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:38,399
Speaker 1: it out and get it analyzed. But that's that's one

525
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:41,280
Speaker 1: of the oldest tricks we learned years ago that you know,

526
00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:44,919
Speaker 1: if we think we've got a metal issue inside the vehicle,

527
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:46,960
Speaker 1: because you know, theoretically there should never be any metal

528
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:54,480
Speaker 1: in the oil, right, right, theoretically, so it's theoretically. You're

529
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:56,480
Speaker 1: very welcome, Keith, and get out the Castle dot Com.

530
00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:59,200
Speaker 1: You'll enjoy it. It's good reading. Um, some really good

531
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:01,200
Speaker 1: stuff there. You take good care. I'm run on any

532
00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:04,280
Speaker 1: in the car doctor eight five five zero nine zero zero.

533
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:17,680
Speaker 1: We're back right after this. I can see clear rain.

534
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:24,400
Speaker 1: Let's go and again a little tribute the great Johnny Nash.

535
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:26,520
Speaker 1: We also lost him this week. Just a tough week

536
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:29,640
Speaker 1: in music and we think both him ended he Van

537
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:33,040
Speaker 1: Helen for their music this week to to too great artists.

538
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:35,480
Speaker 1: So let's get over to Jeff in Florida. Oh four

539
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:37,680
Speaker 1: jeep Branch Cherokee, Jeff, Welcome to the car, doctor, Sir,

540
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:41,960
Speaker 1: I canna help hey, Ronnie yet on the Runnie van

541
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:45,680
Speaker 1: Helen and Nashville. Yeah, tough stuff. What a legacy for

542
00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 1: the guys. Any hell, the oh four Grand Cherokee, the

543
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:51,920
Speaker 1: vehicle of my dreams. I think I started drilling over

544
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:56,160
Speaker 1: him at the Detroit Auto Show and when they introduced him,

545
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:58,800
Speaker 1: and uh, I finally got my two thousand and four

546
00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:02,120
Speaker 1: because I knew they were going to independent suspensions and

547
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:04,240
Speaker 1: and uh this and that, and I said, I want

548
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:06,679
Speaker 1: live data axles, I want to V eight and I

549
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:10,320
Speaker 1: want full time quadra drive and everything like that. So

550
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:13,119
Speaker 1: I jumped into it. And I knew I'd be paying

551
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:15,359
Speaker 1: on it for a while, but keeping it forever until

552
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:19,959
Speaker 1: death do us part um. Okay, I kind of I'm

553
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:22,760
Speaker 1: kind of learly about mentioning my history. I think I'm

554
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:26,760
Speaker 1: an over vehicle maintainer, like I said, since I intended

555
00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:29,880
Speaker 1: to fully keep the vehicle to the end. And uh,

556
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:33,639
Speaker 1: I'll gloss over this really quickly, but I'm not shy

557
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:37,280
Speaker 1: to having major surgery done on it because in the

558
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 1: process of doing all my own DEA fluids transfer case

559
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:42,959
Speaker 1: fluids transmission fluids throughout the years. Once when I got

560
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 1: the price tag from the dealership with what they wanted

561
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:47,680
Speaker 1: for him. Um, you know, I did all my own fluids,

562
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 1: and I learned that the rubber plug on the rear

563
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:55,760
Speaker 1: differential data forty four is meant to be changed every

564
00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 1: so often because they can fall out. I can tell

565
00:28:59,880 --> 00:29:01,480
Speaker 1: you a fix, I can. I can tell you the

566
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:07,200
Speaker 1: fix for that. Well, well we'll learn it will our

567
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:09,960
Speaker 1: t Well, we'll actually are because because the next question is,

568
00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:12,400
Speaker 1: go try and buy that plug from the Chrysler dealer.

569
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:18,360
Speaker 1: I've never found a Chrysler deal little that stocks it, really, Yeah,

570
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:21,720
Speaker 1: because I learned that. I was told that by the

571
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:24,280
Speaker 1: parts guy when I was buying my new ringing opinion

572
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:27,560
Speaker 1: because the plug fell out, right, Yeah, no, that's as

573
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:30,320
Speaker 1: a matter of fact. We'll we are TV that plug in.

574
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:34,680
Speaker 1: We'll put a beat of our TV, you know the

575
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:38,200
Speaker 1: lip the backward and it kind of spoonges into the

576
00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:40,520
Speaker 1: into the cover. We'll put a little beat of our

577
00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:42,400
Speaker 1: TV there. Yeah, I just put a little bit of

578
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:44,960
Speaker 1: our TV there and and then it kind of spoonges

579
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:47,240
Speaker 1: out and then we'll take a little our TV and

580
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:49,160
Speaker 1: put it over the top of it, like we're tarring

581
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:53,200
Speaker 1: the roof and let its seal up. And listen, I

582
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:55,240
Speaker 1: would do that even with a new one, I thought,

583
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:57,040
Speaker 1: I think that's got to be one of the dumbest

584
00:29:57,120 --> 00:29:59,720
Speaker 1: ideas I ever saw in a car. A rubber plug

585
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:02,840
Speaker 1: and a deferential What happens if the vent? What happens

586
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:06,320
Speaker 1: if the vent gets clogged and you or you submerge

587
00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:08,440
Speaker 1: it like you go, you take that jeep or that

588
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:11,200
Speaker 1: Chrysler truck under water like so many people do. And

589
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:13,760
Speaker 1: now the events plugged, internal pressure builds up in the

590
00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:15,280
Speaker 1: diff Where is it gonna go? It's gonna pop the

591
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:21,080
Speaker 1: plug out. Good idea, exactly right, And that's why I

592
00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:24,320
Speaker 1: got myself aftermarket DIF covers with drain and fulled bolts.

593
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:28,280
Speaker 1: After that, learned the hard way. But you know, ringing Pinion,

594
00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:30,320
Speaker 1: I rounded up the mopart of the dealer parts, took

595
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:33,280
Speaker 1: him to my trusted mechanic. He opened her up and

596
00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:36,440
Speaker 1: stretched the case, you know, the aluminum pumpkin on those

597
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:39,200
Speaker 1: and all that, and did a good job. And I'm

598
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:42,200
Speaker 1: back to my you know, you know, my original mechanic.

599
00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:44,840
Speaker 1: And now I've got my DIF, my DIF covers that

600
00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:47,880
Speaker 1: have fill bolts and drain boats instead of pulling the

601
00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:51,280
Speaker 1: whole ten boat thing down and re rtving and draining

602
00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:53,480
Speaker 1: it and all that stuff. So I believe I over

603
00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:57,600
Speaker 1: maintained my vehicle by filling and flushing my difts every

604
00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:01,160
Speaker 1: like fifty thousand, sixty thou And I think I did that. Yeah,

605
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:03,360
Speaker 1: that's okay, and it's it's it's not It's not that

606
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:06,120
Speaker 1: soon for me as far as I'm concerned. So I

607
00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:08,400
Speaker 1: think you're fine. So I don't have to worry about

608
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:12,720
Speaker 1: losing my rubber plug anymore because I nixed that that deal.

609
00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:15,040
Speaker 1: And at the time, I want want to just briefly

610
00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:17,480
Speaker 1: say I thought that rubber flug was there to let

611
00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:19,880
Speaker 1: the thing breathe. But when I discovered that there's a

612
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:22,320
Speaker 1: breather hose on the top of that axle, I was

613
00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:24,560
Speaker 1: just like dumbfounded. I'm like, oh, this is a case

614
00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:29,200
Speaker 1: of another dollar fifty production cost that they decided not

615
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:32,920
Speaker 1: to have a welded on fill with a bolt, you know,

616
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:36,000
Speaker 1: makes you I was a little disappointed, YEA, yeah, makes

617
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:38,360
Speaker 1: you want a jeep like that, a heavy duty with

618
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 1: a reputation of jeep and all that. And you see

619
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:43,920
Speaker 1: a little cheap like that just really stung me. I'll

620
00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:46,440
Speaker 1: tell you what, Jeff hold me today. Hey, Jeff, hold

621
00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:48,440
Speaker 1: your thought all right, because I know there's a question

622
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:50,320
Speaker 1: in here somewhere right, Yeah, hold your thought. Let me

623
00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:51,600
Speaker 1: pull over and take a pause all a couple of

624
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:53,360
Speaker 1: minutes when we come back. I don't want to rush this.

625
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:55,320
Speaker 1: I'm run any in the car doctor. We'll be back

626
00:31:55,400 --> 00:32:04,520
Speaker 1: right after this. Love back to sit over and talk

627
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:07,200
Speaker 1: to Jeff in Florida. Jeff, you're back with the car doctor.

628
00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:12,120
Speaker 1: What's what's your question before the hour runs out? Brother, Yes, sir,

629
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:15,280
Speaker 1: the so now my president, you know, my trusted mechanic.

630
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:18,480
Speaker 1: He did major major surgery on my rear dreft rear

631
00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 1: diff and he's trusted. And hey, let's change the right

632
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:24,400
Speaker 1: side CV axel on the front day in the thirty

633
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:28,680
Speaker 1: and change a seal bearing while we're at it, because

634
00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:30,560
Speaker 1: two years ago I had torn boot on the left

635
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:33,760
Speaker 1: side and so that's just trouble waiting to happen. So

636
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:36,680
Speaker 1: change that half shaft and bearing. So now I'm like,

637
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:38,680
Speaker 1: I don't wanna do some preventative maintenance here and have

638
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:43,400
Speaker 1: two recent uh CV shafts and seal bearings up front

639
00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:46,240
Speaker 1: and the whole break jobs for four wheel break job

640
00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:50,040
Speaker 1: and everything, get it back. And I'm doing some tire

641
00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:53,480
Speaker 1: movements around, jacking up my driver's side, and I see

642
00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:56,200
Speaker 1: some fluid coming out of the axle tube near the

643
00:32:56,440 --> 00:33:00,480
Speaker 1: near the right side passenger side knuckle right the seals,

644
00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:04,480
Speaker 1: the seals leaking. Yeah. Yeah, in my heart of course,

645
00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:06,760
Speaker 1: it was probably a double heart attack. And I said,

646
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:10,280
Speaker 1: I'm coming to join you, Elizabeth, and called by mechanics,

647
00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:13,120
Speaker 1: said what could that be? What's our options? What should

648
00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:15,640
Speaker 1: I do? He says, it could be residual fluid. When

649
00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:18,560
Speaker 1: we pulled out your drive shaft it's the longside and

650
00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:21,600
Speaker 1: put it back in, some fluid inovertly comes through that

651
00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:24,280
Speaker 1: hole and and leaks into your tube. And then when

652
00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:26,600
Speaker 1: we put in the new axle shaft, there could be

653
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:28,480
Speaker 1: dirt on It could be this and that, but it

654
00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:33,000
Speaker 1: also could be residual. So what I did is I

655
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:34,760
Speaker 1: kept it jacked up on an angle like that and

656
00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:39,480
Speaker 1: drained it and then looked for it to come back again.

657
00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:42,320
Speaker 1: And it's coming back slower and slower and slower. Okay,

658
00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:44,000
Speaker 1: you want to try something, you want to you want

659
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:47,920
Speaker 1: to try something quick and simple. Jeff, Yeah, you've seen

660
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:52,360
Speaker 1: engine oil die. To diagnose engine oil leaks, yes, okay,

661
00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:54,400
Speaker 1: take the cover off, drain a little flu or not

662
00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:56,000
Speaker 1: the cover, you know, take the plug out, drain a

663
00:33:56,000 --> 00:34:00,040
Speaker 1: little fluid out. All right, and just as at some

664
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:02,320
Speaker 1: engine oil die to the diaf fluid. Who says you

665
00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:06,760
Speaker 1: can't and drive the truck. This way you'll know. And

666
00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:08,680
Speaker 1: this way when you go back to your trusted mechanic,

667
00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:10,839
Speaker 1: not that he isn't, you can say, hey, listen, take

668
00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:13,080
Speaker 1: a black light. Every repair shop I know where their

669
00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:15,440
Speaker 1: salt's got a black light so you can see, you know,

670
00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:20,000
Speaker 1: fluorescent die. And you know if they see fluorescent die boom,

671
00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:24,759
Speaker 1: that seals leaking. Now is it their fault? Probably not,

672
00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:27,359
Speaker 1: it's probably a consequence of the vehicles and O four

673
00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:30,640
Speaker 1: it's you know, sixteen years old. We we we pulled

674
00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:32,880
Speaker 1: the axle in and out. I'm sure we scuffed to

675
00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:34,759
Speaker 1: seal up a little bit. But in my mind, how

676
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:42,960
Speaker 1: many miles are on it now? Five? Say again, you

677
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:44,839
Speaker 1: know what, you owed a couple of seals. If you're

678
00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:46,680
Speaker 1: gonna if you owed it everything else you did, you

679
00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:48,680
Speaker 1: owed a couple of seals. And let's let's put some

680
00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 1: axle seals in it and um, you know, solve the

681
00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:54,040
Speaker 1: problem and make it go away completely. So I don't

682
00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:56,239
Speaker 1: see it as a crisis. I just think, you know,

683
00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:58,520
Speaker 1: let's diagnose it, let's add some die to it and

684
00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:01,520
Speaker 1: see where that goes. Hey, real quick. I appreciate the call, Jeff, Hey,

Speaker 1: real quick. Kathy writes in Hey, Ron, you gotta clarify
