1
00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:03,520
Speaker 1: Ron and Nannian. You know, the customer only has so

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:06,560
Speaker 1: many depths or levels to their pocketbook. They're gonna get

3
00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:07,680
Speaker 1: to a point where they say, you know what, I

4
00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:09,440
Speaker 1: don't want to do this. I'm just gonna go buy

5
00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:11,880
Speaker 1: another car. And and people do that. I'm taking what

6
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:15,040
Speaker 1: they're given, cous I'm working for them, the car doctor.

7
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:17,880
Speaker 1: I would try taking them off by hand, you know,

8
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:21,360
Speaker 1: because sometimes you just need that steady poll versus the

9
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:23,800
Speaker 1: bang bang bang of the gun. The bang bang bang

10
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:25,439
Speaker 1: of the gun is what the stortable lug nut in

11
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:28,320
Speaker 1: the first place. Welcome to the radio home of Ron

12
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 1: and Nian the Car Doctor, since this is where car

13
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:36,479
Speaker 1: owners the world overturned to for their definitive opinion on

14
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:40,360
Speaker 1: automotive repair. If your mechanics giving you a busy signal,

15
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:43,880
Speaker 1: pick up the phone and call in. The garage doors

16
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:45,880
Speaker 1: are open, but I am here to take your call

17
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 1: at eight five, five six and now running. I think

18
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 1: there's nothing more frustrating when it comes to automobiles than

19
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 1: being on the side of the road trying to change

20
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 1: a flat and your lug wrench doesn't fit. You know,

21
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:06,680
Speaker 1: you got to put on the lug nuts and the

22
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 1: lug nuts are so badly distorted that you just you

23
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:12,040
Speaker 1: never mind getting them loose, you just can't get the

24
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:15,200
Speaker 1: lug wrench to go on. And a lot of the

25
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 1: manufacturers today are at fault for this. I have to

26
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 1: blame them, you know, a lot of the manufacturers, and

27
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 1: I'm gonna blame one in particular. Four they've got a

28
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 1: capped lug nut. Jeep has it, GM has it for

29
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 1: it seems to be the king of it. I see

30
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 1: more problems with Ford lug nuts than than anybody else

31
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:35,320
Speaker 1: at this point in the game, and for the life

32
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 1: of me, I can't figure out why they don't all

33
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 1: just go back to a solid lug nut. We have

34
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 1: a twenty Ford expedition in the shop for some suspension

35
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 1: work that we're still in the midst of, and in

36
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 1: the process of removing the wheels, we found that the

37
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 1: six lugs on the right rear wheel that we were

38
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 1: taking off, we're just so badly hammered. There was no

39
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 1: way it wasn't worth the effort or nor would you

40
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 1: even try to put them back on. And in looking

41
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 1: at the rest of the vehicle, they were all like that.

42
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:08,519
Speaker 1: I would say, oh, you know, twenty out of the

43
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 1: twenty four and you have to say to yourself, why,

44
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 1: you know, can't they make a better luck nut? I

45
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 1: don't get it. Um you know, and this is not

46
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 1: this is not something I take lightly or speak about lightly. Uh.

47
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 1: You know, it's we've resorted to. We have a twenty

48
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 1: one millimeter socket, a nineteen millimeter socket, a nineteen and

49
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 1: a half, twenty one and a half. We've gone the

50
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 1: thirteen sixteen through Jerry roach in from Connecticut. And thank you, Jerry,

51
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,079
Speaker 1: appreciate the wonderful email you sent me. Ron. I just

52
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:45,359
Speaker 1: listened to your show from Saturday. I have a few

53
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 1: thoughts on four luck nuts. And then he goes on

54
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 1: to talk about how the cap steel design is prone

55
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 1: to problems no matter how they fashioned to remove. Agreed,

56
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 1: You're correct, the hammering action of an impact wrench will

57
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:57,920
Speaker 1: distort the stainless steel cap. And you know what, Jerry,

58
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,359
Speaker 1: I've got to tell you and everybody else, we've gone

59
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 1: to cordless impact guns in the last couple of years,

60
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 1: and I don't think the hammering action is as tough

61
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 1: on lug nuts as it was on um as as

62
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 1: the air guns were. It seems like when we hit

63
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 1: the trigger, the pop of the electric It's just one shot,

64
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 1: and they seem to come loose quicker, and it seems

65
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:22,800
Speaker 1: to be easier on the lugs. We don't distort, We

66
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 1: don't beat up our sockets like we once did by

67
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,360
Speaker 1: the by the design of the tool. Jerry writes on

68
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:30,360
Speaker 1: he says, I have mustang and can say definitively the

69
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 1: correct size socket for the four o EM lug Nutics

70
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 1: thirteen sixteen. I checked the lugs before they were removed

71
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 1: for the first time. I believe most text will use

72
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 1: a twenty one millimeter. Both sizes will work, but the

73
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 1: extra slop of the twenty one will accelerate the amount

74
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 1: of damage to this stainless steel cap. Another factor is

75
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 1: that most impact sockets used by mechanics are probably worn

76
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 1: and fit loosely. I agree with that. You know, we

77
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 1: actually go through the boxes on a regular basis, at

78
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 1: least once every six months, if not every quarter, and

79
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 1: and the snap on guy'll take them back. We have

80
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 1: a wonderful snap on guy, a shopgun. He will he

81
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 1: will take our you know, broken worn tools, no problems,

82
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 1: no no complaining and uh uh, you know, just one

83
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 1: to three and out the door goes. So yeah, I

84
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 1: mean to upgrade and take care of your sockets. I

85
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 1: think that's a maintenance thing. I think that's something you

86
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 1: have to do. Jerry goes on the right that he

87
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 1: did what I've done. I've replaced the O M lug

88
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 1: nuts with solid after market lug nuts. I got mine

89
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 1: at Dormant, Jerry, in case you're interested, Dormant Products dot com.

90
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:29,039
Speaker 1: Dormant makes solid steal lug nuts from my expedition, and

91
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 1: I bet they did for yours. Uh for your Mustang

92
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:33,919
Speaker 1: as well. Many years ago, I had a similar issue

93
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 1: with cap lug nuts on a link and I showed

94
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 1: the service manager dealership that the factory lug nut and

95
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 1: the trunk didn't fit any of the lugs on the cars.

96
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,720
Speaker 1: Solution was to order a new lug wrench. I contacted

97
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 1: Lincoln Corporate about the situation. A few days later, the

98
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,279
Speaker 1: dealership contacted me that they were replacing all the lug nuts.

99
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:50,600
Speaker 1: This is a two thousand two Lincoln and oh six.

100
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 1: I found that on my damaged lug nuts at twenty

101
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 1: two millimeters socket worked. There a lot of forward products

102
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 1: on the road today with damaged lug nuts. Jerry from Connecticut,

103
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 1: UM you know jerr Are you're you're absolutely right, and

104
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:06,159
Speaker 1: I have to agree with you that it's it's not Connecticut.

105
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 1: Actually I apologize it's not Connecticut. I'm not sure where

106
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 1: jury's from. For some reason I thought this was Connecticut.

107
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 1: But it's a problem and something as simple as a

108
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 1: lug nut, as simple as a lug nut. You know,

109
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,359
Speaker 1: there's that old poem about, you know, for one of

110
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 1: the kingdom, for one of a nail, the horse was

111
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,159
Speaker 1: lost because the horse shoe couldn't get attached, and then

112
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,840
Speaker 1: it extrapulates out and it's it's the loss of the

113
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:30,280
Speaker 1: kingdom was because of the nail, the loss of the

114
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 1: lug nut. You can't get the lug nut off the car,

115
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 1: and they can't design something better than that. And you know,

116
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 1: you have to sit there and you look at this

117
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 1: and you say, what were they thinking? And were they thinking?

118
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:44,280
Speaker 1: And you know, is it just planned opts a lescence

119
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,040
Speaker 1: on their part. They've got to think we're gonna change

120
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 1: the tires. They're gonna think they've got to think we're

121
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 1: gonna rotate tires. Right, But you know, suffice it to

122
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 1: say that if you've got a vehicle and you're going

123
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:56,840
Speaker 1: through this and if you're driving a Jeep product or

124
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,720
Speaker 1: a GM or a Ford product, you want to pay attention. Um,

125
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 1: you want to take a look at the lug nuts.

126
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 1: If you go visit Dorman Products dot com. Uh, the

127
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,600
Speaker 1: manufacturer is going to sell you cap lug nuts again

128
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,480
Speaker 1: dormant if they make them, will be a solid steel

129
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 1: lug nut, chromedor or polished, whatever they're gonna do. And

130
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 1: they work really well. We did it this week and

131
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 1: you can too. It solved our problem. Um, And at

132
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:20,160
Speaker 1: least I know this particular vehicle will be back on

133
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:22,359
Speaker 1: the road safely. I think there's a big place in

134
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:24,839
Speaker 1: the market for it. I think I think somebody could

135
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 1: make a lot of money selling solid steel replacement lug nuts. Tom.

136
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 1: I was just gonna say, you know how you mentioned

137
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 1: all the time that snap on makes, you know, kind

138
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:36,719
Speaker 1: of odd size sockets. Well, my I think it's my

139
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:41,359
Speaker 1: uh my escape. I think takes nineteen millimeter. Um. I

140
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 1: found nineteen and a half over at uh lows a

141
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 1: nineteen and a half socket. Yeah, so I bought. I

142
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 1: bought that. I bought the nineteen, the nineteen and a

143
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 1: half and a twenty just in case right well, and

144
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,599
Speaker 1: and that's what I'm saying, snap snap On actually sells

145
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 1: a kit of nineteen nineteen and a half and twenty

146
00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:59,719
Speaker 1: and your escape your escapes another one. You have a

147
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:03,600
Speaker 1: cat stainless steel lug nut, and what happens is as

148
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 1: the lug nuts get beat up, as the caps get

149
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 1: beat up, imagine the chimney on your roof, it gets

150
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 1: kind of twisted around a little bit. The bricks come loose.

151
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 1: Moisture comes in so as the as the cap of

152
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 1: the lug nut gets beat up taking it on and

153
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 1: off during normal service, moisture gets under there and accelerates

154
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 1: the corrosion. And now the cap comes loose, so the

155
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 1: camp really isn't pained or pressed onto. You know, it's

156
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 1: not an O D I D thing where the inside

157
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 1: of the cap fits tight over the O D of

158
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 1: the impression that it's on. It's loose. It's sloppy. It's

159
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 1: really a stupid design. I gotta say it. It's stupid.

160
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 1: You don't hear me use that word that often. Um

161
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 1: you'll hear me say idiot, but not stupid. But I

162
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 1: think they're you know, this is stupid. There's a difference,

163
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 1: and I think it's a safety thing. I think about

164
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 1: people not being able to change a flat on the

165
00:07:55,680 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 1: side of the road in bad situations, odd hours, bad weather. Uh,

166
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 1: you know, it's a flat tire is nothing to be

167
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:06,239
Speaker 1: can taken lightly or screw around with him planning English.

168
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 1: It really isn't it's um. I had this conversation with

169
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 1: somebody this week. We were talking something about their vehicle

170
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 1: and they wanted me to do something. I said, absolutely not.

171
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 1: You know, your life is in my hands, and you

172
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 1: know what, if you want to be stupid and do

173
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 1: it that way, there's that word again, Um, you can

174
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 1: do so, but your wife and kids ride in this

175
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 1: car when you're not around, and I'm not gonna do it.

176
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 1: And it had to do with the way we were

177
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 1: going to put breaks on the vehicle, which still amazes

178
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 1: me to this day too. I can't believe that I

179
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 1: still have people coming in asking me to do breaks

180
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 1: the wrong way. They want me to do breaks the

181
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 1: way their father did it in nine you know, like

182
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:44,840
Speaker 1: the think cars have changed a little bit since then,

183
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 1: Like hello, you know, maybe the Chinese spy balloon will

184
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 1: beam those people up and take them with them as

185
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 1: as it leaves being over North America. Maybe that's what

186
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 1: will happen? So are we allowed to talk about the

187
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 1: spy balloon? I don't know, but I hope it drops

188
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:01,839
Speaker 1: some my order of the food without you know when

189
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:03,199
Speaker 1: it comes over here? Is that what you do? You

190
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:05,960
Speaker 1: you were Tom your bed? Get out of here? So

191
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:08,680
Speaker 1: you were the Chinese? That's that's direct. I bet you

192
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 1: it's fresh. So eight five five five zero. We're in

Speaker 1: trouble now eight five five five zero. You know the

194
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 1: Chinese are probably listening to this broadcast and uh well, whatever,

00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:27,720
Speaker 1: running any of the Car Doctor. I'm not with Tom

00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 1: Ray the third Today he's out. I'll be back right

200
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:42,960
Speaker 1: after this for the best in car advice. Give Ron

201
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 1: a call. Eight five five five six zero nine nine

202
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 1: zero zero. Now back to Ron. Hey, let's get over

203
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 1: to Kennon. Virginia wants to talk about Edge. Can welcome

204
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 1: to the Car Doctor, Sir. How can I help? Yeah? Ron,

205
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 1: how are you doing all right? It's been a while

206
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 1: since that talk to you. I got the two thousand

207
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 1: twenty two Ford Edge had eight thousand miles on it,

208
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 1: and the engine light kept coming on, and they finally

209
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 1: said they had to change the catalytic converter. Why why

210
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 1: would that catalytic convertigo bed and eight thousand miles four

211
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:23,440
Speaker 1: cylinder or the V six four cylinder? Okay, Um, not

212
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 1: a common thing. Haven't seen a lot of heard a

213
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 1: lot of it, you know, I'd have to know more

214
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 1: about it. Was it assembled properly? Was there an exhaust leak?

215
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:34,840
Speaker 1: Did they put the cat on it and it's fixed? Yeah?

216
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 1: They did. That light doesn't come on anymore. So whatever

217
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:42,679
Speaker 1: it was, chances are it's a redesigned part because they

218
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say, they likely found that something wasn't designed

219
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 1: correctly and it didn't work right in whatever environment you're

220
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:50,080
Speaker 1: using it. And not that it's your fault. I'm not

221
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 1: saying that, but I well, could it be because I'm

222
00:10:55,920 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 1: seven eight nine years old, I'm getting my age nine

223
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 1: years old and I don't drive real fast? No, not

224
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:08,080
Speaker 1: at all. Has nothing to do with it. You know,

225
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 1: when when when a car manufacturer sits down at the

226
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:15,079
Speaker 1: table and says, let's design an automobile for our market,

227
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 1: You've got to hope and think that they're smart enough

228
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:21,839
Speaker 1: that they're gonna design it to meet all sorts of expectations.

229
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 1: You know, you're in Virginia right, Think about Think about

230
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 1: the car they have to design for New Hampshire or

231
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:30,559
Speaker 1: you know the extreme of amount Washington where it's a

232
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 1: hund and twenty below today, or Alaska or California, or

233
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 1: the heat of Florida. You know, there's a there's a

234
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:40,439
Speaker 1: broad range, and then there's there's all types of drivers,

235
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 1: and there's all types of operating conditions. So I wouldn't

236
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 1: I wouldn't take the blame yourself. There was something wrong

237
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:49,680
Speaker 1: with that cats, something wrong in the way it was assembled,

238
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 1: something wrong from the vendor, whatever the case was. But

239
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:54,720
Speaker 1: you know, they stepped up to the plate. They did

240
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:58,720
Speaker 1: what they were supposed to do. You know, automobiles, let

241
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:00,319
Speaker 1: me say this, when you when you when you stop

242
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:03,840
Speaker 1: and think about it, automobiles are a very exact science,

243
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:09,440
Speaker 1: done in a very exact manner for a very unexact market.

244
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 1: Because they don't know what variable is the vehicle is

245
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 1: going to encounter once it gets out here into the

246
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:16,560
Speaker 1: real world. So it's it's it's a problem. You're gonna

247
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 1: say something, No I was just agreeing with you. Um yeah,

248
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 1: I wouldn't. I wouldn't. I wouldn't take it upon yourself.

249
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:27,080
Speaker 1: I don't think it's something you did. I would just

250
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:30,720
Speaker 1: enjoy the vehicle for what it isn't driving more, you know, Okay,

251
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 1: it's just just go out and have some fun. You know,

252
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 1: when I was a kid, I haven't talked about this

253
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 1: in years and years and years. When Dad was alive,

254
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 1: we used to go out on Sunday and we would

255
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:42,080
Speaker 1: take rides to nowhere, and and I remember that as

256
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:43,720
Speaker 1: a kid. You know where we're going to. We're going

257
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:45,199
Speaker 1: to church to stand. I don't know where church to

258
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 1: Stand is, but you know, we never seemed to find it.

259
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 1: But Mom always knew we were going because she put

260
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 1: her hands up in the air and go, all right, Harry.

261
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 1: My father was was a Harry and uh well, and

262
00:12:56,520 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 1: that was probably good for the Yeah, it was so well.

263
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 1: My father was a Brooklyn boy. He would we would

264
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 1: we were living in Jersey at the time, and he

265
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:09,720
Speaker 1: would drive from Jersey at the Pennsylvania. Um. Well. Actually,

266
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 1: the backside of that story is we'd go out for

267
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 1: a Sunday ride. The three kids in the back of

268
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 1: dad's fifty eight Lincoln with Uncle Seymour. Uncle Seymour was

269
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:19,840
Speaker 1: my father's friend from Brooklyn Um And these two were

270
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:22,840
Speaker 1: like Ralph and Norton from the Honeymooners. They really were

271
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 1: always getting into trouble. I just remember that we would

272
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 1: we were right, well, yeah, we would ride out, you know,

273
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 1: and the three kids were in the back seat of

274
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:32,400
Speaker 1: the link and nobody's wearing seat belts. You know, we

275
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:35,720
Speaker 1: all somehow survived, and you know, we would ride out

276
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:37,839
Speaker 1: to the farms of Pennsylvania. We would stand there and

277
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:39,959
Speaker 1: look at the cows for three hours and try and

278
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 1: get him to move, sitting on the fence and mumu

279
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:46,679
Speaker 1: and uh. We get back to New Jersey and a dad,

280
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:48,199
Speaker 1: we forgot to get the milk, because that was the

281
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 1: excusive you give my mother. We're going to choocha stand

282
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:52,560
Speaker 1: to get milk. We'll get some fresh farm milk from right.

283
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 1: We'd stop at the corner store. And I was born

284
00:13:56,559 --> 00:14:00,440

Speaker 1: the market for a new one. I know it's horrible

299
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 1: right now, but I'm just seeing what your thoughts are

300
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 1: on the all the new bells and whistles, mainly the

301
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 1: safety items auto stop, a lane keep, all that. I

302
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 1: don't know anything about it. What were you What were

Speaker 1: are you interested in? What fits you? You know, there's

307
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:10,360
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of questions there. Yeah, I'm wanted under

308
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 1: and probably a small suv or something. Okay, why don't

309
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 1: you go look at if you can find one, why

310
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 1: don't you go look at the new Toyota Ref. Four? Right, Yeah,

311
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 1: And there's different trim levels of that. And you know,

312
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 1: if it's I think you're gonna find they have a DOSS,

313
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 1: they have automated driver assist, I'll have the camera in

314
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 1: the mirror. And there's different levels of how much a

315
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 1: dos you want on a vehicle today? I like it.

316
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 1: Understand that it's here to stay, it's not going anywhere.

317
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 1: It's part of the process. You know, it's going to

318
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:46,720
Speaker 1: require more expense somewhere later on. There's no way to

319
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 1: get around it. I think when you're looking at a

320
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 1: newer vehicle today, it's just part of the process. Uh.

321
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:55,400
Speaker 1: You know. The most important piece when I'm out looking

322
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 1: at a vehicle is a couple of things. Number One,

323
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 1: I'm not just buying a car. On buying a company.

324
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 1: What is the culture of that company? What is the

325
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 1: thought process behind that company? How well do they take

326
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:11,480
Speaker 1: care of their clients? Alright, Toyota does a really good

327
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 1: job of taking care of their clients. All right. They've

328
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:17,560
Speaker 1: had they've they've always maintained and had a great attitude.

329
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 1: I know first hand experience the average Toyota dealer. I'm

330
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 1: gonna base it on what happened three years ago, three

331
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 1: four years ago, maybe at the most, uh, from first

332
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 1: hand experience. A very dear personal friend. He was the

333
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 1: service manager of a local Toyota dealer. He had a

334
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 1: thousand dollars a year per customer. I think it was

335
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 1: a year per customer, a thousand dollars a customer. I'll

336
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 1: say it like that to make them happy over the

337
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 1: life that a lifetime of the vehicle ownership from Toyota

338
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 1: is sort of like corporate money to make the customer

339
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 1: happy if something broke, because they wanted to keep their

340
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 1: customers happy. I think it was per customer, not on

341
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:56,240
Speaker 1: an annual basis. And you know that says a lot.

342
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 1: I think Ford does a good job. I think GM

343
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 1: does a good job firsthand experience, all right. I think

344
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:05,200
Speaker 1: there's some really great quality stuff there. I think a

345
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:06,880
Speaker 1: lot of the car companies do it. But I think

346
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:09,960
Speaker 1: that's important to consider. It's also the other thing you

347
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:11,920
Speaker 1: want to ask is who's gonna work on the car

348
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:17,639
Speaker 1: the average independent. Well, yeah, it's it's who is going

349
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 1: to be able to do this stuff in the future.

350
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 1: You know, well, there's you know, there's there's good and

351
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:24,960
Speaker 1: bad and all. I have to tell you that, Tom,

352
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:27,680
Speaker 1: I think there's good independent repair shops. There's bad independent

353
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 1: repair shops. There's good dealerships, there's bad dealerships. I've said

354
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 1: this for years and I still believe it to be true.

355
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 1: You know, a dealership, or let me say it like this,

356
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:40,960
Speaker 1: a repair shop, dealership or independent is only as good

357
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,480
Speaker 1: as the people in it. The only difference is one

358
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 1: has a sign over their doorway that says Ford. One

359
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:47,960
Speaker 1: has a sign over their doorway that says Bob's Auto Repair.

360
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:49,879
Speaker 1: It's as good as the people in it. I know

361
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:52,920
Speaker 1: some independent repair shops that will run circles around a dealership,

362
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:55,680
Speaker 1: and I know some dealerships that run circles around independent

363
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 1: repair shops. I see it all day long. Uh, you know,

364
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:03,920
Speaker 1: can imagine being able to fix this lane? Keep assist you.

365
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:06,720
Speaker 1: You'd be surprised, all right, you'd be surprised some of

366
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:09,399
Speaker 1: the better shops out there. So you know, whoever has

367
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:12,200
Speaker 1: been taking care of your Kia, was it an independent

368
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:17,959
Speaker 1: or the dealer? Well, my advice is pick one and

369
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 1: stay with one, because you want to build a relationship.

370
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 1: And that's the third thing. You've got to decide where

371
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:24,920
Speaker 1: do you want to have a relationship with? And that's

372
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:26,440
Speaker 1: the car you want to buy, And that's the car

373
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 1: you can afford. Test drive at test drive it in

374
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:31,240
Speaker 1: the daytime, test drive it at the nighttime, have the

375
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:33,119
Speaker 1: total experience, and then come back and tell me what

376
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:35,159
Speaker 1: you're thinking. We'll go from there. I'm runing any in

377
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 1: the car doctor, I'll be back right after this. Don't

378
00:18:37,040 --> 00:19:01,080
Speaker 1: go away, welcome back, run a Namian car doctor. Let's

379
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:04,120
Speaker 1: go over to Roger in Virginia twelve christ or two

380
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 1: hundred Roger. You're all the car doctor? What's cooking? Hey?

381
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:11,879
Speaker 1: I like that bumper music there. I'm totally blind to

382
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 1: early eighties. Eighties I used to flip cars to make

383
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:19,879
Speaker 1: a little extra cash. I recently bought a twenty twelve.

384
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:22,760
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not buying this car to flip it.

385
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:28,400
Speaker 1: I bought about it to keep ul Chrystler two hundred

386
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:34,159
Speaker 1: six Steed four cylinders. Uh, it'll take off like a

387
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:37,639
Speaker 1: jack rabbit. The first three gears first time, three times

388
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:44,160
Speaker 1: it shifts it. These are low gear ratio axle gears. Um.

389
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:47,400
Speaker 1: But when it shifts I pay attention to every time

390
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 1: it shifts. It's an automatic, of course, but when needs

391
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:57,679
Speaker 1: shifts driving normally just driving normals driving shifts from forth

392
00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:03,159
Speaker 1: the field sometimes about third a half third at the

393
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:07,040
Speaker 1: time it sounds it feels like it's a down shift

394
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:12,120
Speaker 1: thing before it goes up into uh filth gear or

395
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 1: it's losing traction, but it feels like it's not losing tracks.

396
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 1: And it actually feels like it's shifting down again to

397
00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:26,320
Speaker 1: third before it shifts up into failth. It doesn't do

398
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:29,359
Speaker 1: it every time, it does it about a third at

399
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 1: the time. How many miles k anybody anybody tried to

400
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 1: diagnose in any of this, No chick check huh, no

401
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:45,240
Speaker 1: check out. Okay, I've just had it send transmission serviced.

402
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 1: The fluid was good. There didn't seem to be any

403
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 1: debris in the fluid. They put a new filter and everything.

404
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:55,760
Speaker 1: It was doing that before the transmasin service, and it's

405
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 1: still doing okay well. And you know, I don't think

406
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 1: you're going to see the bri if you if you

407
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 1: if you see debris and fluid, it's gonna be doing

408
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:06,120
Speaker 1: a lot more than what you're describing by the time

409
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:08,320
Speaker 1: it gets to the point of putting debris into fluid,

410
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:10,880
Speaker 1: it's lost a clutch pack or a band, and it's

411
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:13,919
Speaker 1: it's done. Game over. Game is probably over here anyway.

412
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 1: The question is is this transmission? Is this powertrain control module?

413
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 1: Is this programming? Is this a solonoid pack? So the

414
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:25,360
Speaker 1: first thing I would want somebody to do is a

415
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:29,680
Speaker 1: vehicle module scan, and by that I mean not plugging

416
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:31,880
Speaker 1: in an O B D two scan tool. I want

417
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:35,800
Speaker 1: to go in by year, make model, vehicle manufacturer specific,

418
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 1: and look to see are there any faults anywhere. Perhaps

419
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:42,359
Speaker 1: we've got a pending code. Perhaps it's something that's about

420
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:44,640
Speaker 1: to set a fault to P zero seven fifty five,

421
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:48,399
Speaker 1: for example, but it hasn't said it yet. Um. You know,

422
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 1: keep in mind, code technology or code strategy is such

423
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:55,440
Speaker 1: that you know it's it's it's think of a human being.

424
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:57,960
Speaker 1: Have you ever woken up on on Monday, Roger, and

425
00:21:57,960 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 1: you've got a little bit of a scratchy throat and

426
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 1: you're afraid you're gonna get a sore throat, but you

427
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 1: don't quite have it yet, And then you know, Monday

428
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:07,720
Speaker 1: goes by Tuesday goes by Wednesday. You wake up you've

429
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:11,399
Speaker 1: got a sore throat and a running nose. You're sick, right, Well,

430
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:15,280
Speaker 1: on Monday you had a pending fault code. On Wednesday

431
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:18,480
Speaker 1: you finally set the code, you know. And it could

432
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:20,439
Speaker 1: be that way with with a car in the sense

433
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:23,159
Speaker 1: that and it could take a while, It could take months,

434
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:26,040
Speaker 1: it could be days. It just depends on what the

435
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:28,440
Speaker 1: problem is, how it's driven, and what the conditions are.

436
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 1: So don't care. Don't care. You know, if it ran

437
00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:35,520
Speaker 1: like a song machine and it was good, it wouldn't

438
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:38,119
Speaker 1: have the problem. You and I wouldn't be talking. So

439
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 1: I just I just tell me what's good. I'll tell

440
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:41,960
Speaker 1: you what's bad. I want to know it. Does it

441
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:45,480
Speaker 1: have any pending fault codes? All right? Well, did you

442
00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:50,639
Speaker 1: have it scanned? Yeah? Oh you did? Did they scan?

443
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:56,080
Speaker 1: All the modules are just O B D two deep scan? Okay,

444
00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:58,200
Speaker 1: so he did a deep scan, so he's got no faults.

445
00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:00,399
Speaker 1: All right. So the next thing is we've got to

446
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:03,439
Speaker 1: go and watch. Let's bring up the trans module, the

447
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:06,840
Speaker 1: trans trans data and start to look at shifts solenoids.

448
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:09,560
Speaker 1: Do we see the transmission apply the shift solenoids at

449
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:12,879
Speaker 1: the right time? Do we see it apply him at

450
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:17,680
Speaker 1: the right time? And the fault occurs, Well, we're gonna

451
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:19,119
Speaker 1: go in. Look, we're gonna go in. We're gonna go

452
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:20,800
Speaker 1: in and check the heart rate and blood pressure of

453
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:24,640
Speaker 1: the transmission. All right, we want to look at basics.

454
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:26,680
Speaker 1: We want to make sure that our guy can read

455
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:29,639
Speaker 1: data stream. I'm sure he can, all right, and he

456
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:32,919
Speaker 1: understands what he's looking at. Do we have a problem

457
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:36,920
Speaker 1: where the transmission is doing what it's told and it works,

458
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:38,879
Speaker 1: or do we have a problem where the transmission is

459
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:41,040
Speaker 1: doing what it's told, It tries to do it, but

460
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:44,600
Speaker 1: mechanically it can't keep up because it's starting to fail.

461
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:48,040
Speaker 1: And that's that's the line we're walking here. Do we

462
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 1: have a problem where the trans is doing what it's told,

463
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:55,200
Speaker 1: It responds in kind, but there's an issue perhaps, let's

464
00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:57,440
Speaker 1: say with the power train control module, the main engine

465
00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:01,080
Speaker 1: controller that it's create geating a problem and how that

466
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:04,159
Speaker 1: transmission shifts. You know, the first thing somebody's got to

467
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 1: do is determined when it goes from fourth? Is it

468
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:08,800
Speaker 1: fourth down to third up the fifth or is it

469
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:14,359
Speaker 1: from fourth to fifth? Which is it? It's it's definitely

470
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 1: going from fourth to third. How do you know then,

471
00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 1: because I can tell by the RPMs are you go,

472
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 1: it's if it's shifting to another gear. It's going to

473
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:31,200
Speaker 1: the lower gear, and it sounds like it is shifting

474
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 1: down to third r p ms. The it feels like

475
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:39,280
Speaker 1: it's pulling. It's not losing torque or whatever. Roger, did

476
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:42,000
Speaker 1: I misunderstand Did I misunderstand you? In the beginning of

477
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:44,600
Speaker 1: the phone call? Did you say you were retired or blind?

478
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:48,440
Speaker 1: I'm totally blind and retired. I'm seventy eight years old.

479
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:52,000
Speaker 1: And when in the early eighties, I flipped cars and

480
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:55,040
Speaker 1: I learned to diagnose every just every kind of so

481
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:58,919
Speaker 1: I learned to listen to transmission shifting and blah blah blah.

482
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:01,320
Speaker 1: So you're so you know, if the RPM is going on,

483
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:04,560
Speaker 1: you're you're basing on what the engine sounds like. Yeah,

484
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:09,480
Speaker 1: it definitely the engine RPM speed up between about the

485
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:13,119
Speaker 1: third of the time between How do you know the

486
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:17,760
Speaker 1: transmission isn't slipping. No, it's not slipping it it's actually

487
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:21,040
Speaker 1: it feels like it's downshifting for about a second and

488
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:23,879
Speaker 1: a half and then it it goes right up into

489
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:28,600
Speaker 1: field gear and it's it's there's no slack or slipping.

490
00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:32,359
Speaker 1: It feels like that it's designed to do this, but

491
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:34,879
Speaker 1: it doesn't do it every time. That's not designed to

492
00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 1: do it, is it? Huh, then it's not designed to

493
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 1: do it, right? Okay, So so back to my original statement,

494
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:48,159
Speaker 1: somebody how would then, Well, that's what I'm explaining. You

495
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:50,320
Speaker 1: have to you have somebody has to look at trans data,

496
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:53,080
Speaker 1: look at the shift points. There will be a chart

497
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:56,879
Speaker 1: and service information that tells you what speeds the transmission

498
00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:59,520
Speaker 1: is supposed to shift, and what the solinoids when they apply,

499
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:02,560
Speaker 1: what gear ratio is going to be set forth that

500
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:05,040
Speaker 1: allows the transmission this shift up or down, none of

501
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 1: this seat of the pants stuff. All right, there's a

502
00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:09,840
Speaker 1: very scientific way to do this. First thing you've got

503
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 1: to the side is this is this real or is

504
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:14,760
Speaker 1: this imagined? And I'm not saying you're imagined. I'm not

505
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:17,119
Speaker 1: saying let me finish. I'm not saying you're imagining it.

506
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:19,480
Speaker 1: I'm just saying you can't do it by the seat

507
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:22,199
Speaker 1: of your pants, because it's got to be done by

508
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 1: scan tool. So all right. The other thing I could

509
00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:27,320
Speaker 1: think of is and I doubt it, but I just

510
00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:30,080
Speaker 1: want to mention it, is this a transmission programming issue

511
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:34,080
Speaker 1: that perhaps there's a trans program software update that will

512
00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:36,399
Speaker 1: resolve and correct this because it only happens on an

513
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:40,760
Speaker 1: intermittent basis. But someone but you do have the ability. Also,

514
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:42,520
Speaker 1: you have to stop and consider that this is an

515
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:46,119
Speaker 1: electronically shifted transmission. Let's say it has a week to

516
00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:49,960
Speaker 1: four shifts solenoid. That solenoid should them out between one

517
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:53,440
Speaker 1: and three homes. If all of a sudden the solenoid

518
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:55,959
Speaker 1: pack is having a problem and it's got higher resistance,

519
00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:58,520
Speaker 1: it's going to affect how that transmission shifts, and it's

520
00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:00,480
Speaker 1: going to affect at what eight and it's going to

521
00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:04,119
Speaker 1: affect what gear it goes into. Um, Like I said,

522
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:07,479
Speaker 1: did he do a deep scan looking at everything? Doesn't

523
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:11,040
Speaker 1: have anything pending? You know, where are we going? It's

524
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:13,520
Speaker 1: if it's a real problem, and it sounds like it is,

525
00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:16,199
Speaker 1: there's a reason for it. It's just got to be

526
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:18,199
Speaker 1: figured out and it's got to be attacked. Let's go

527
00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:21,800
Speaker 1: gather some information and not based on you know, what

528
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:23,639
Speaker 1: we think it should be. Let's go see what the

529
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:27,840
Speaker 1: information provides us makes sense. Yes, sister, their self has

530
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:30,720
Speaker 1: nothing but master ticks. And I trust the guy in

531
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:37,440
Speaker 1: Placita is a good, honest man. And thanks a lot.

532
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:39,200
Speaker 1: You're very welcome. Sorry, he should be able to solve

533
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:43,840
Speaker 1: it for you, then be welcome. Bye bye zero. I'm

534
00:27:43,840 --> 00:28:02,640
Speaker 1: back right after this, I promise M. Well, well, well,

535
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:04,480
Speaker 1: you know, all we were trying to explain to our

536
00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:07,120
Speaker 1: previous caller is that we can't go by the seat

537
00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:10,360
Speaker 1: of our pants. We've got to know data in data out.

538
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:13,199
Speaker 1: Let's go look at a few things, and let's be

539
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:15,399
Speaker 1: aware of what the transmission is trying to do. What

540
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:19,199
Speaker 1: I was trying to make the point was that is

541
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:22,159
Speaker 1: it operating as designed? Is it commanding things? And with

542
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:24,919
Speaker 1: a proper scan tool and proper training, we can apply

543
00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:27,600
Speaker 1: shift solenoids and get things to try and work correctly.

544
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 1: Chances are he's got an internal trans problem. He's probably

545
00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:33,720
Speaker 1: got a bad solenoid pack, a solenoid that's starting to fail,

546
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:36,680
Speaker 1: and every once in a while it's it's resistance value

547
00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:41,320
Speaker 1: changes with temperature and it goes into a different form

548
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:44,080
Speaker 1: or different mode of operation. But we don't know that

549
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:48,000
Speaker 1: until we start to look at data data in data out.

550
00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:52,960
Speaker 1: Tell me what's good. I'll tell you what's bad. Next email, Hey, Ron,

551
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:54,920
Speaker 1: I have a grip about my twenty one Ford Rangers

552
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:58,120
Speaker 1: home leak buttons. Um, this is for Alan the Southwest

553
00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:00,240
Speaker 1: to actually answer this during the week because but it

554
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:02,520
Speaker 1: was pretty gush darn important and I had five minutes.

555
00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:04,000
Speaker 1: But I want to do it up here too. They

556
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:05,920
Speaker 1: are active all the time, even with the truck turned off.

557
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:07,960
Speaker 1: I suspect all Fords are wired this way. Living in

558
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:10,880
Speaker 1: the Southwest, I quite often leave the driver's window rolled

559
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:13,040
Speaker 1: down on the warmer months. The home league buttons on

560
00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:15,040
Speaker 1: the sun visor are powered up and active all the time,

561
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:16,800
Speaker 1: so anyone can open my garage. I would rather than

562
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:18,600
Speaker 1: I have the buttons powered up all the time. I

563
00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:20,960
Speaker 1: haven't seen a solution out there to remity this any ideas.

564
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:24,800
Speaker 1: You know what, this is a problem. My own explorer.

565
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:27,360
Speaker 1: Explorer can be sitting for a week. All I have

566
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:29,960
Speaker 1: to do is reach in through the window the car

567
00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:32,920
Speaker 1: doors closed and hit the garage door button and the

568
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:35,760
Speaker 1: door goes up. So I think this is a flaw

569
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:37,440
Speaker 1: and forward. This is one of the reasons I will

570
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:42,760
Speaker 1: not park a vehicle outside with a a remote transmitter

571
00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:46,320
Speaker 1: programmed like that. Um, we have a keypad on the

572
00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:48,400
Speaker 1: garage and we use that. We prefer to use that.

573
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:50,680
Speaker 1: But I think this is a problem I see a

574
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:52,720
Speaker 1: lot of vehicles, not just Fords to do this. I

575
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:55,840
Speaker 1: think when they power down the vehicle, they should power

576
00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:57,760
Speaker 1: down the garage door opener. I think this is a

577
00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:00,320
Speaker 1: security flow and it's stupidity. There's that wre it again,

578
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:04,320
Speaker 1: Tom Using using stupid a lot today. But it just

579
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:06,840
Speaker 1: doesn't make any sense. I had. I have seen no

580
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:09,400
Speaker 1: workarounds for this. Um well, actually I did have one

581
00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 1: work around. There's a company out there called weather Tech,

582
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:14,920
Speaker 1: all right, and we all know weather Tech. They make

583
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 1: great products here in the US. They make all sorts

584
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:20,320
Speaker 1: of additional sun visors and shades and bumper stops and

585
00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:26,960
Speaker 1: great accessories for a vehicle. Their sunshade system right where

586
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:29,560
Speaker 1: it's that vent shade that clips into the window track

587
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:33,840
Speaker 1: and it will provide about an inch of shade shaded

588
00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:35,800
Speaker 1: material around the window, so you can leave the window

589
00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:38,840
Speaker 1: open a crack and not have the problem with the

590
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:42,200
Speaker 1: warmer months and not necessarily have to leave the window open.

591
00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:45,160
Speaker 1: I think that's the best solution I've got. Short of that,

592
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:48,360
Speaker 1: you know, there's not much you can do. I mean, listen,

593
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:50,080
Speaker 1: this is a problem. All someone has to do is

594
00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:52,560
Speaker 1: break a window. But I guess you know what if

595
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:54,160
Speaker 1: somebody wants to get into the house. They're gonna get

596
00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:55,960
Speaker 1: into the house, right, They're gonna break the window, break

597
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:59,280
Speaker 1: the front door. Um, you know, there's just no But yeah,

598
00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:01,440
Speaker 1: that's that's a problem on a lot of vehicles, not

599
00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 1: just Ford's. But I do agree with you. I think

600
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:05,880
Speaker 1: Ford missed the moment on that. I think after a

601
00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:08,560
Speaker 1: certain amount of time, it should power down. Because give

602
00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:10,640
Speaker 1: me a situation when you're gonna walk up to a

603
00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:14,200
Speaker 1: vehicle without your keys in hand, that you've got to

604
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:16,520
Speaker 1: open the garage door and you want to use the

605
00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:19,920
Speaker 1: remote that's programmed into the vehicle. I can't think of one.

606
00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:21,920
Speaker 1: I can't think of what I'm gonna walk out to

607
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 1: the garage door. I'm gonna walk out to the garage,

608
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:26,520
Speaker 1: opened the door, used the remote that's built into the

609
00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:28,080
Speaker 1: sun visor, get out of the car and walk out

610
00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:30,000
Speaker 1: the door instead of using the button that's on the wall.

611
00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:34,440
Speaker 1: That doesn't make any sense. So I'm in agreement with

612
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:36,040
Speaker 1: you here and I think Ford kind of missed the

613
00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:39,200
Speaker 1: boat on this one. And UM, I would tell you that, yeah,

614
00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:41,600
Speaker 1: I you don't get out the weather tech by yourself

615
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:44,080
Speaker 1: a set of shades if you want to leave it outside,

616
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:47,440
Speaker 1: and um, you know you can, you can solve sort

617
00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:50,000
Speaker 1: of part of the problem like that, Hey, did you

618
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:53,160
Speaker 1: see the article UM that the car market is coming back?

619
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:56,280
Speaker 1: Car buyers frustrated with inventory. One of the articles I

620
00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:59,320
Speaker 1: read this week says that the inventory shortages, if it's bothering,

621
00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:02,920
Speaker 1: you should over the ward and GM, that the number

622
00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:07,040
Speaker 1: of day supply of vehicles UH with Ford is at

623
00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:09,920
Speaker 1: sixty days, and GM it's at fifty two days. UH

624
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:13,320
Speaker 1: Chrysler is at sixty eight and UM, there's only a

625
00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:17,320
Speaker 1: twenty three day supply at Toyota and day supply at Lexus.

626
00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:20,400
Speaker 1: So it seems like the inventory is starting to grow

627
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:23,840
Speaker 1: a little bit, which is sort of refreshing and uh calming.

628
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:25,760
Speaker 1: I guess in a sense, Um, I don't know why

629
00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:27,560
Speaker 1: it's taking them this long to bring it back. The

630
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:30,280
Speaker 1: article also goes on to talk about the fact that

631
00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:33,720
Speaker 1: the manufacturers are struggling with decisions do they want to

632
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:36,520
Speaker 1: make more vehicles? Aware of and I think that translates

633
00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:39,840
Speaker 1: more or less into I think they like the fact

634
00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:41,920
Speaker 1: that they can haggle over pricing and it puts them

635
00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:44,480
Speaker 1: in a better seller's market. It's a it's a seller's

636
00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:48,280
Speaker 1: market still and um, you know, businesses business. I understand that. So,

637
00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:50,880
Speaker 1: but be aware that Ford and GM right now seemed

638
00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:53,920
Speaker 1: to have the largest supply of vehicles out there. If

639
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:56,160
Speaker 1: you're looking for a new vehicle, consider a Ford or

640
00:32:56,240 --> 00:33:00,239
Speaker 1: GM zero. Back to wrap it up right at to this,

641
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:10,600
Speaker 1: don't go away, A couple of questions, a couple of

642
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:12,920
Speaker 1: comments as we wind things down this hour. Good Year

643
00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:15,720
Speaker 1: is in the news. Goodyear's new tire that they're coming

644
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:19,479
Speaker 1: out with is made from soybean oil, rice husks, and

645
00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:23,320
Speaker 1: pine resin. So yeah, I'll say that again, soybean oil,

646
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:26,680
Speaker 1: rice husks, and pine resin, which means if you get

647
00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:28,000
Speaker 1: stuck on the side of the road, you can think

648
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:29,840
Speaker 1: one of the other three tires off and cook it needed.

649
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:32,960
Speaker 1: Probably many parts of pine trees are edible, you know,

650
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:34,560
Speaker 1: we can we can have a bit of a barbecue.

651
00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:37,040
Speaker 1: But yeah, that's where the market's going. It's made up

652
00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:41,720
Speaker 1: of of recyclable components, if that's the right word they say.

653
00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:44,520
Speaker 1: This is not blue Sky components and materials that come

654
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:48,080
Speaker 1: from sustainable sources. Good Year says there are seventeen sustainable

655
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:52,440
Speaker 1: and greens include things like recycled polyester and plant based components.

656
00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:56,120
Speaker 1: Like soybean oil, rice husk waste and bio renewable pine tree.

657
00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:59,320
Speaker 1: Resident also uses steal with high recycled content in I

658
00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:03,880
Speaker 1: s CC certified mass balanced polymers from bio and biocircular feedstock,

659
00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:07,520
Speaker 1: whatever that means. So look for changes in tires and

660
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:10,560
Speaker 1: tire technology. It's ongoing. Tires are a big deal. You know,

661
00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:13,440
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago, we were talking about tire repair.

662
00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:16,279
Speaker 1: I mentioned tech Tire and I don't believe I had

663
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:18,399
Speaker 1: the website to give out to you. UM a lot

664
00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:20,560
Speaker 1: of interesting tires. It was interesting. I received an email

665
00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:22,160
Speaker 1: from one gentleman who was in the tire repair of

666
00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:23,920
Speaker 1: business for a lot of years. He wrote me a

667
00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:25,440
Speaker 1: really great email. I wish I could find that I

668
00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:26,640
Speaker 1: had put it somewhere. I said, oh, I want to

669
00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:28,440
Speaker 1: save this, I want to read it, and sure enough

670
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:30,880
Speaker 1: I lost it. But his points were well taken, and

671
00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:33,279
Speaker 1: I appreciate the time he took to write that. But

672
00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:35,719
Speaker 1: UM tech Tires still makes a great product. As we

673

676
00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:46,839
Speaker 1: quite a bit of technology there for repairing tires. You've

677
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:49,000
Speaker 1: got to wonder how it will vary and change with

678
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:52,040
Speaker 1: a new design of tire. It'll put all the tire

679
