1
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:03,520
Speaker 1: Ronan, Well, the reason for the oil leak is because

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:05,840
Speaker 1: such and such a part which they didn't really name,

3
00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:08,680
Speaker 1: was installed upside down, but we turned it right side

4
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:16,800
Speaker 1: up and now the parts installed correctly. Yeah, the car Doctor,

5
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:27,720
Speaker 1: we don't get poled again. Tell them to name the part.

6
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:29,680
Speaker 1: I'd like to know what part in stalled upside down

7
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:31,320
Speaker 1: is going to make a valve cover gas at leak

8
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 1: and then magically corrected when it's not installed upside down? Like?

9
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:37,800
Speaker 1: Are you kidding? Welcome to the radio home of ron

Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about the six to six Shelby that

18
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 1: we fixed. We're gonna talk about the two thousand seven

19
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 1: Honda that we put a timing belt on, and everything

20
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 1: in between. We're also going to talk about four escape

21
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 1: that somebody in Indiana just couldn't get a battery incorrectly.

22
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:20,120
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about how we save that car, but

23
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 1: you know what, Let's kick the garage doors open and

24
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 1: get going, because I see the line is long already.

25
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 1: Let's get over to Larry and Orlando two thousand Chevy

26
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 1: suburban and I'll see what's going on here. Larry, Ron

27
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 1: and Ay And at your service, sir, how can help

28
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 1: terrific to speak with you Ron, and thank you so

29
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:38,120
Speaker 1: much for your wonderful show. We have a two thousand

30
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 1: Chevrolet Suburban with two hundred and seventy five thousand miles

31
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 1: in excellent shape. The wife was stopped in very heavy

32
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 1: traffic down here about a week ago, and the radiator

33
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 1: core itself spraying a small weak which makes the car

34
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 1: on dry over, but it's in very good shape. Otherwise.

35
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 1: We want to replace the radiator, the water pump, the

36
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 1: uh thermostat, and the fan clutch and anything else you

37
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 1: might suggest. But I specifically had just two issues. I

38
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:09,959
Speaker 1: was wondering if I could get your tremendous focus on one.

39
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:15,519
Speaker 1: In looking to locate the very specific car specific replacement parts,

40
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:19,119
Speaker 1: we run into just a little bit of a conundrum

41
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 1: in that the main Chevrolet customer service number is absolutely

42
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 1: no help in just trying to get the actual A C.

43
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:31,920
Speaker 1: DELCO O E M parts, and Uh, they're only suggested

44
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 1: was to have the car told to a dealership and

45
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:36,399
Speaker 1: have them diagnosed it and try to get their help

46
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 1: to identify the parts. The second question was, Uh, there

47
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 1: seems to be some kind of a code sheet or

48
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 1: build sheet for the car, but we haven't been able

49
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 1: to locate it. We also wanted just to ask your

50
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 1: thoughts whether OSC radios were okay and get your general

51
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 1: suggestions if you might have time on the replacement of

52
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:02,360
Speaker 1: the radiator and the water pump, particularly removing the small

53
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 1: clips that are on the lines where the transmission lines

54
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:09,239
Speaker 1: look in to the radiator with the O ring is

55
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 1: everything we're talking about here, Larry, original original water pump,

56
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 1: original thermostat, radiator, it's never been touched. Okay, so listen,

57
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 1: we're gonna call it what it is. We're gonna overhaul

58
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 1: the cooling system two thou miles. It's almost broken in

59
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:27,920
Speaker 1: its time, so yeah, it's gonna be. It's gonna be radiator,

60
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 1: water pump, thermostat, upper and lower hoses, even if the

61
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 1: upper and lower hoses were done five years ago, do

62
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 1: them get it over with. I mean the trucks, the

63
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 1: trucks twenty years old. Alright, you want to do a

64
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 1: coolant exchange if you can get it, If you can

65
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 1: find somebody with an exchanger and have the cooling exchange

66
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 1: this way, all the old stuffs out, all the fresh

67
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 1: stuff is in. All right, I'll answer your yeah, if

68
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 1: you can, and if you can still get them in

69
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 1: two thousand, I'm not I'm trying to remember what they

70
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 1: looked like. If they might be something very specific or

71
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 1: particular in a way that they split off. Does the

72
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 1: vehicle have rear a C and he does so. The

73
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 1: heater hoses might have a branch te off at the back.

74
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 1: And I've seen the aftermarket version. It's okay. If you

75
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 1: can still get an original GM piece out of Delco

76
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 1: where it's gonna have the mold, it ends, and everything's

77
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:21,840
Speaker 1: gonna fit and work nice. Do it, you know, do

78
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 1: it now before the part disappears. I overhauld the cooling

79
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 1: system on my old four suburban. I guess it's four

80
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 1: years ago now, and I did everything. I was able

81
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 1: to get everything, and I'm thinking the two thousand is

82
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 1: similar in that you know it was two thousand to

83
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 1: two thousand six, right, yeah, um, so just just just yeah,

84
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 1: now is the time. It's twenty years old, right. OSC

85
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 1: is a good radiator company. As a matter of fact,

86
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:49,480
Speaker 1: I know what it stands for. It do you know

87
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 1: what SC stands for? I don't want to stop cooling.

88
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:57,280
Speaker 1: They're out of California. Yeah, that's and it was the

89
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:00,080
Speaker 1: fellow owned a radiator story years and years and years go,

90
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 1: and he branched off and started making his own radiators

91
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,040
Speaker 1: when he couldn't find a good product for what he

92
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 1: was trying to do, and eventually grow into and it

93
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,920
Speaker 1: became OSC. We use we use o SC in the

94
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:14,599
Speaker 1: shop all the time. Good stuff, all right, very few comebacks.

95
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 1: I won't say it's perfect, but I have no I

96
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 1: have no product line today that I can say is

97
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 1: I have very few failures. And if I I believe

98
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,480
Speaker 1: if I've had a failure with OSC, it's usually out

99
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 1: of the box, hook it up, it leaks right away.

100
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:30,839
Speaker 1: It's not a failure down the road. So it's it's

101
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,360
Speaker 1: it's it's it's that type of of an issue that

102
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 1: we've had experience with and it hasn't been that many.

103
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 1: Run would you go with the A C Delco O

104
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 1: E M because for some of your listeners they make

105
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:48,280
Speaker 1: an A C Delco Pro part that's very inferior quality. Right,

106
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 1: the A C Delco Pro line. A C Delco is

107
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 1: such a watered down line today. It's so hard to

108
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 1: figure out what they were thinking. And you know, personally,

109
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 1: I you know, I'll tell you the story about twenty

110
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 1: years ago. That's how far back it goes. The A

111
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 1: C Delco rip came in and they were trying to

112
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:09,280
Speaker 1: sell their A C Delco Master Tech Program. And I

113
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 1: looked at them and it was, you know, you had

114
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:13,600
Speaker 1: a stock so much of parts, you had to keep

115
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 1: this much inventory, you had to do this much in sales.

116
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:19,920
Speaker 1: I said, So, you're you're taking a technical program because

117
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,840
Speaker 1: prior to that it gave good technical resources and information,

118
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 1: and you're making making it a parts program. What you

119
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 1: want us to do is push parts? Oh no, no, no, no, no,

120
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:29,920
Speaker 1: that's not what's gonna happen. Yeah, I guess what. That's

121
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 1: what happened. All right. There's now so many lines of

122
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 1: A C Delco or you know a C Delco stamped

123
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 1: on it. They've diminished the value of what was once

124
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 1: a very great American brand. There's a C Delco advantage,

125
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 1: there's a C Delco Professional, there's a C Delco G

126
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 1: M o E, and there's probably a few mixed in

127
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:52,040
Speaker 1: in between. We purchased some wheel bearings the other day

128
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 1: for an OH seven Envoy. They actually had the GM

129
00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 1: part number and the A C Delco part number on it.

130
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:01,840
Speaker 1: That would be the same part that you would get

131
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 1: at the dealer. That is a dealer quality, dealer level part.

132
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 1: That's how I understand it. That's what I've come to know,

133
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 1: that that particular line of a C Delco I consider

134
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 1: to be a good quality piece. I would use that

135
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 1: on my vehicle. I would use an OSC on my vehicle,

136
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 1: all right. I wouldn't have a problem if I couldn't

137
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 1: get one or the other. And I've been in the

138
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 1: situation where I've used one or the other to meet

139
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 1: they're equally good, all right? Um, is the GM or

140
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 1: A del O E M usually the best of their parts?

141
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 1: Or not? Yes? Usually? Usually? All right? You're looking for

142
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 1: the r p O code, the regular production option code.

143
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 1: It's not in the glove box. I don't believe. So

144
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 1: if you pop if you pop open the glove box store,

145
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 1: there's there's usually a decal or a label affixed to

146
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 1: the door itself, and it'll have the r p O

147
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 1: codes on it. If it's not there looking the owner's manual,

148
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 1: they should list and tell you where If if they

149
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 1: can't tell you that, then best guess is it's going

150
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 1: to be somewhere around the jack storage area in the

151
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 1: rear of the vehicle, on the inside of a door,

152
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 1: on the inside of a flap where the jack is stored.

153
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 1: That's where they would put it. And it's called an

154
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 1: RPO that stands for r p O. It's the regular

155
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 1: production option codes. When you go to the dealer and

156
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 1: you order a vehicle, if you if you or if

157
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 1: you know what you want to get the experience, go

158
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 1: online to order a Chevrolet or GM product and you'll

159
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 1: see they list like you've seen Z seventy one on

160
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 1: the side of pickup trucks. Z seventy one is the

161
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 1: r p O code for the suspension that that particular

162
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 1: pickup truck has it. Do you know how Z twenty

163
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:49,319
Speaker 1: eight came to be named right Z Z knows Z

164
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 1: twenty eight was the r p O code for the

165
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:54,720
Speaker 1: Camaro back in sixty seven. That's you checked off ZWY

166
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 1: and you got a sixty seven Camaro with performance options.

167
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,080
Speaker 1: And by sixty eight it's seemed to be so popular

168
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 1: they made a badge it said z That's how it

169
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 1: came to be. It's it's nothing that you know involved.

170
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 1: When you hear the term F forty one suspension, the

171
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 1: the the impalt has got F forty one suspension in it.

172
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 1: That's the r p O code. That's the production option

173
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,319
Speaker 1: code for that vehicle. That's what they checked off the

174
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 1: box when they were selling the vehicle that the dealer to, Yeah,

175
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,439
Speaker 1: I want one of these L A D eight. L

176
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 1: A D eight Corvette was a was a production option

177
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 1: for the engine. So you're looking for the production sheet

178
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 1: so that they can help identify the radiator to see

179
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 1: what capacity cooling system that vehicle has. Yes, right, right now,

180
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 1: you can get the radiator out and measure it, and

181
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:48,679
Speaker 1: measuring is measuring it is just as good. If you

182
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 1: can't find the r p O shot it all right,

183
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:57,199
Speaker 1: that'll work also, but they usually measure it between the

184
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 1: tanks on either it's it's correct. It's the metal core

185
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 1: size correct, it's it's it's the core, you know, length

186
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 1: between the tanks, the width of the core. And then

187
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 1: if you can get the cap off, look inside. How

188
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 1: many rows in the radiator? Now, it wouldn't hurt if

189
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:16,679
Speaker 1: I could. If I've got a two row radiator and

190
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 1: they made a three row, I'd on a on a

191
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 1: on a production vehicle like this, I'd probably put some

192
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,839
Speaker 1: extra cooling capacity in there. I don't necessarily do I

193
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:29,440
Speaker 1: don't necessarily go to the four row, and I don't

194
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 1: do it on hot rods either, because then we get

195
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 1: into an issue where the cooling flows through the radiator

196
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 1: so fast sometimes that the fourth row adds so much

197
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 1: capacity that can't properly cool in it. I've had, I've

198
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 1: actually had four row radiator systems run hotter than three

199
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 1: and two row. Think about that one for a while.

200
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 1: So sometimes enough is good and a smidge more is better, alright,

201
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:58,199
Speaker 1: but too much is just too much? Sometimes? Got it

202
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 1: all right? And that's it? What question didn't I answer?

203
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 1: What find just on any special tips on the tooling?

204
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 1: There seemed to be some very difficult clips. Yeah, you're

205
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,960
Speaker 1: gonna need it. You're you're gonna need a special there's

206
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:16,439
Speaker 1: a little convoluted tabbed and tool that you're gonna have

207
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 1: to push in there to spread them and flip them

208
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:20,679
Speaker 1: and pop the clips out. Do you have an O'reillyota

228
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 1: let's get awads. Talk to Mica in Maine. Michael, welcome back, sir.

229
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 1: How are you today? Hey? Ron? I got a two

230
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 1: part story for you with my super dealership that is

231
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 1: absolutely doing the right thing. I brought my car in

232
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:39,840
Speaker 1: on Thursday because it's five years old and it's time

233
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:41,959
Speaker 1: for five year service. We talked about what needed to

234
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,199
Speaker 1: be done, and the other part of what needed to

235
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:45,959
Speaker 1: be done was there's a recall on the car. The

236
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 1: front catalytic convertered needs to be replaced. So I'm gonna

237
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:51,000
Speaker 1: wait for it. And I'm sitting there and I've been

238
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 1: there two hours, and all of a sudden, the service

239
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:56,199
Speaker 1: writer comes out with the mass mechanic and says, we

240
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 1: need to talk to you. Let's go back to the

241
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 1: shop so I can show you what's going on, which

242
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:02,679
Speaker 1: is rare to happen at a dealership. But when it does,

243
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 1: first of all, I'm scared, but second of all, well

244
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:08,839
Speaker 1: they're bringing me to the shop. That's very unusual. Pulls

245
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:12,960
Speaker 1: that shows me the U the front catalytic converter says, look,

246
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 1: be this oxygen sensor. I can force it out, but

247
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 1: if I do, it's gonna strip the threads and I

248
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 1: can get it back in, but it's gonna end up leaked.

249
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 1: I don't want to do that. I'm gonna order your

250
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 1: new auction censer. Were out of stock on it, but

251
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 1: I want to take care of it. There won't be

252
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 1: any charge. I just need to see at home with

253
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:32,400
Speaker 1: a loner. Great, he starts telling me. I just get

254
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:34,680
Speaker 1: to talk to the master mechanic directly about what he's doing.

255
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 1: He says, break fluid was changed two years ago. It's fine,

256
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 1: it's clear, there's no problem. But you know what I'm

257
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:42,440
Speaker 1: gonna do. I'm gonna and I know you don't need

258
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:44,199
Speaker 1: a flush it, but I am gonna empty the reservoir

259
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 1: completely and I'm gonna refill it with the reservoir with

260
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 1: fresh fluid. And I won't charge you for it. It'll

261
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:51,839
Speaker 1: just add a little more fresh fluid to it. That's great.

262
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:55,559
Speaker 1: He looks at the air conditioning. He says, Yep, it

263
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 1: looks like there's a leak here. It's running but in

264
00:13:58,120 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 1: a meat spec but it looks like there's a leak.

265
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna end up sealing that and replace it and

266
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 1: evacuate and put it back together. That's gonna be. We're

267
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:06,679
Speaker 1: gonna cover that under warranty. Even though it's five years old,

268
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 1: it shouldn't leaked. Wow, that's great, really taking care of me.

269
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 1: They're impressed with the way of them. They they're actually

270
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 1: impressed with the way that I take care and service

271
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 1: the car. Because I do. I service it the way

272
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 1: that Ron and Adian taught me to. So they give

273
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 1: me a super legacy to take home. And I'm in

274
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 1: the car, and this is what I really want to

275
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 1: tell your listeners. If because you get a lot of

276
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 1: people our age that a pretty technology technical savvy like

277
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 1: I am, even like you are. I get in there,

278
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 1: I can't figure out how to turn on the radio.

279
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 1: Isn't that amazing? Isn't that amazing? And you're coming out

280
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 1: of a five year old car? Imagine coming out of

281
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 1: a fifteen year old car. It was unbelievable. I couldn't

282
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 1: do it. Then I'm driving along. I stopped at a

283
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 1: stoplight and the car shutters. What the heck is going on?

284
00:14:57,400 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 1: There's a start stop technology and it I had no

285
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 1: idea yeah, and it's and I did not like it.

286
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 1: I could turn it off, but I kind of want

287
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:07,240
Speaker 1: to feel what it's like since it's only alone. And

288
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 1: you know, you you come to like a rolling stop

289
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 1: at a traffic light and it starts and stops and

290
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 1: starts and stops. It's it's really uncomftable. When it stops,

291
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 1: you lose your power steering. It's unsettling. It's it's very unsettling. Yeah,

292
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 1: it really is. I we I had case where I

293
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:26,000
Speaker 1: had to go to Baltimore two weeks ago when I

294
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 1: was in aten Escape that had starts stop and you know,

295
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 1: nothing against Baltimore, but there's some tough neighborhoods and it

296
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 1: you know, you're you're sitting at a traffic light and

297
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 1: it shuts off and you're sitting there saying, do I

298
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 1: hope it starts? Um? You know, I hope it does

299
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 1: what it's supposed to do. And uh, I've learned. What

300
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 1: I learned that trip was I said, I wonder if

301
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 1: there's a way to trick it. And what I did

302
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:52,800
Speaker 1: was put my left my foot on the brake and

303
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:55,800
Speaker 1: I popped it into neutral. And if you pop the

304
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 1: car into neutral on a Ford I can tell you

305
00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 1: the car starts right up, and it won't. It won't

306
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 1: shot off, so um yeah, and there's a there's a switch.

307
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 1: I when I started digging through the controls to figure

308
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:11,040
Speaker 1: out how to turn on the radio, I found, you know,

309
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 1: a button where I can turn off the stop start technology. Uh,

310
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:16,320
Speaker 1: so you don't have to worry about it, which is

311
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 1: kind of nice. But it was just a very strange experience.

312
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 1: But not being able that that big computer that I'm

313
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 1: sitting in that happens to have wheels in a steering wheel.

314
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:27,480
Speaker 1: This is a super legacy of all things, you know.

315
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:29,760
Speaker 1: It's not like it's a fancy, f fancy car. Well,

316
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 1: and one of the things that is somewhere around twenty

317
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:37,640
Speaker 1: on a lot of models, on a lot of cars.

318
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 1: Across the board, the dashboard is going away. It's now

319
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 1: a tablet located either in front of the driver or

320
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:47,240
Speaker 1: just to the right of the driver. There's just a

321
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 1: giant monitor screen, a flat panel monitor, and it does

322
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 1: everything and you can and that's I'm sure that's what

323
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 1: this Subaru has. Correct. It's just got a big tablet

324
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:01,080
Speaker 1: in front of you for actually what it is. And

325
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:04,000
Speaker 1: you couldn't even replace the radio because the whole computer

326
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:06,800
Speaker 1: for the car is built into that thing, right and

327
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 1: it it just you know, what they're doing. What they're

328
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:14,679
Speaker 1: really doing is we're seeing the evolution of the automobile

329
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 1: go to self driving. We're we're watching it before our eyes.

330
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 1: Because you know that car that you saw and I'm

331
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:25,000
Speaker 1: dating myself at the World's Fair, or that car that

332
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:27,720
Speaker 1: you saw on TV, the car of the future that

333
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:29,200
Speaker 1: was going to be self driving, and it was just

334
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 1: gonna be a computer screen. The George Jetson mobile. They

335
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:34,879
Speaker 1: may not fly at first, but they're going to have

336
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 1: a giant computer screen up in front of them, and

337
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:41,560
Speaker 1: you're just gonna be touching software. And you think about it,

338
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:44,200
Speaker 1: what's that going to do to the repair process. It's

339
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:47,480
Speaker 1: to me, I think it's gonna get better. It works

340
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:50,440
Speaker 1: or it doesn't. It's got X number of wires, it's

341
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 1: got power, ground and signal, it doesn't work, plug another

342
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:57,480
Speaker 1: one in module repair. They're they're going to make auto

343
00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 1: repair so much different, and they're gonna cut down on

344
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:04,880
Speaker 1: the number of wires behind the dashboard, the connectors. Everything's

345
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:06,399
Speaker 1: gonna be a data line. It's gonna be like a

346
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 1: computer network and that's what it is already, and it's

347
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:11,080
Speaker 1: just gonna become more so and ever ever that much

348
00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:14,400
Speaker 1: more so. Um, well, good for you, MIKEA listen, I'm

349
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:16,720

361
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 1: to the lex broadcast Saturday afternoons to the four pm

362
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:24,119
Speaker 1: East Coast time, Brooken, Michigan. You're up two thousand eight Lexus.

363
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:30,320
Speaker 1: How can I help? Yes? Um, Hi two thousand eight Lexus? Yes,

364
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 1: I mean eight thousand sound right right, tire just under

365
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:48,480
Speaker 1: the Indian I see the pink liquid which is coolant? Correct? Right?

366
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:54,560
Speaker 1: And how did I find out? One day my desert

367
00:19:54,600 --> 00:20:00,719
Speaker 1: were was empty and suddenly I was eating ready shops

368
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:07,560
Speaker 1: and when I looked, there was no Okay. It's it

369
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 1: sounds like from the description and the location of the

370
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 1: leak that as long as there is no hoses leaking,

371
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:18,399
Speaker 1: the coolant bottle itself isn't cracked. But it sounds from

372
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:23,359
Speaker 1: your description that you've got a bad water pump okay,

373
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 1: and you and I'm concluding that because I just saw

374
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:32,399
Speaker 1: that the location of the plumbing on the floor is

375
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:38,239
Speaker 1: exactly okay, and the water pump itself is probably if

376
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:41,360
Speaker 1: you're getting a knocking or a metallic sound and some clunking,

377
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:44,359
Speaker 1: you've probably got it to the point where the bearing

378
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:47,199
Speaker 1: of the water pump is bad and it's banging around,

379
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:51,399
Speaker 1: so the vehicle is if that's the case. If the

380
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 1: water pump pulley has play and slopping it, you could

381
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 1: lose the belt and create some bigger issues. So you

382
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:00,480
Speaker 1: really need to get this looked at and repair before

383
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:04,840
Speaker 1: you drive it much more, if at all? Okay, So

384
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:09,280
Speaker 1: microcy he is because of the sound, I need to

385
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 1: repair this water pump, yes, or I can use the

386
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 1: to feel that liquid leak. No, you can't use k

387
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:21,960
Speaker 1: seal on a water pump leak. It doesn't work like that.

388
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:26,880
Speaker 1: It won't it won't solve a seal against the leak

389
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:29,920
Speaker 1: like that. That's a rotating leak against the seal. It

390
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:33,680
Speaker 1: doesn't work like that. And the fact that the pump that,

391
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:38,000
Speaker 1: the fact that the pump has noise tells me that

392
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:40,880
Speaker 1: the bearing in the pump itself is bad. And usually

393
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:43,880
Speaker 1: that's how they fail. They start off, there's a very

394
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:47,720
Speaker 1: short distance or a very short amount of time on

395
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:51,120
Speaker 1: the toyotas and alexis when they developed this coolant leak

396
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 1: until they get to the point where they wipe out

397
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 1: the bearing. I generally don't see this. You'll see it,

398
00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:59,879
Speaker 1: and then two miles later you've got bearing noise, or

399
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:02,639
Speaker 1: five miles later you've got bearing noise because the bearing

400
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:05,919
Speaker 1: is cooked. And I see that as a common failure.

401
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:08,720
Speaker 1: So you've got to get that water pump diagnosed if

402
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:11,160
Speaker 1: that's the case. If that's what it isn't repaired, replaced,

403
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:20,359
Speaker 1: et cetera is not an option because no the case

404
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:23,040
Speaker 1: seal the k seal as a repair is not an

405
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:25,280
Speaker 1: option because of the type of leak that this is.

406
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 1: Even if listen, even if even if k C did

407
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:31,240
Speaker 1: fix it, and maybe it would, I don't know. I

408
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:33,720
Speaker 1: would never consider I'll say it like this, I would

409
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:36,399
Speaker 1: never consider as as as highly as I think of

410
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:39,720
Speaker 1: k seal and I think it's a great product, And

411
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 1: even if it did fix the water pump, I still

412
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:47,520
Speaker 1: wouldn't take it as a permanent repair because that water

413
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:51,400
Speaker 1: pump shaft is a rotating seal. A head gas gets

414
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:54,200
Speaker 1: a fixed object. It's clamped between two pieces of steel

415
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:57,120
Speaker 1: or two two blocks of material steel and illuminate whatever

416
00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:59,680
Speaker 1: it's it's a fix that there's no movement. But in

417
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:01,399
Speaker 1: the in the case of a water pump, that's a

418
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:05,120
Speaker 1: shaft rotating against the seal. I don't see how casel

419
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:07,520
Speaker 1: would hold up. I don't see how case would even

420
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:11,800
Speaker 1: stop and fix the leak. So using it for that purpose, no,

421
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:14,720
Speaker 1: it's not recommended, not in my book. And I think

422
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:17,160
Speaker 1: the fact that you've already got bearing noise that bearing

423
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:19,399
Speaker 1: is about to fail, and when it does, it's going

424
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:21,320
Speaker 1: to rip the impeller out the back of the water

425
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:23,840
Speaker 1: pump and possibly cause block damage. So you don't want

426
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:28,640
Speaker 1: to do that. So the pusher devices do not drive

427
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:33,440
Speaker 1: this car, but it can. So my next question you

428
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:41,320
Speaker 1: got what brand coming well, I would prefer something close

429
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 1: to O E. I like dens So as a line.

430
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:48,159
Speaker 1: You can find Denso was the original manufacturer for that

431
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:51,440
Speaker 1: water pump out of Lexus, and you can find those online.

432
00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:54,679
Speaker 1: You can find that. I believe O'Riley Ota Parts carries

433
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:57,359
Speaker 1: dense O D E N s O. You could look

434
00:23:57,400 --> 00:23:59,640
Speaker 1: it up online at O'Riley otto dot com and see

435
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:02,920
Speaker 1: if they listed. It's not an easy water It's not

436
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:06,400
Speaker 1: an easy water pump to do. It's it's buried in there.

437
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:09,679
Speaker 1: It's a it's typically three to four hours. Now if

438
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 1: you look in if you look in the Toyota repair manual,

439
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:17,440
Speaker 1: it will in all likelihood ask that the engine be

440
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:21,400
Speaker 1: removed to do that water pump. I've seen and heard

441
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:24,560
Speaker 1: stories where the dealers are quoting seventeen to eighteen hours

442
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:27,359
Speaker 1: to put a water pump in that car. And I

443
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 1: can tell you from experience, oh eight E S three

444
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:33,480
Speaker 1: fifty there is clearance to sneak the pump out without

445
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 1: taking the engine out. Now, having said that, I've noticed

446
00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:42,639
Speaker 1: a few times in the last couple of months that

447
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:47,960
Speaker 1: some of some Toyota repair information isn't as accurate as

448
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:51,359
Speaker 1: it once was, and certain things like that come up.

449
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:53,119
Speaker 1: They'll tell you to take an engine out when you

450
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:54,920
Speaker 1: don't have to. They'll tell you to take a strut

451
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:57,360
Speaker 1: off when you don't need to. And I'm not sure

452
00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:00,240
Speaker 1: what's going on if things are being edited out of

453
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 1: sequence or they're they're out of touch. I'll leave it

454
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:07,119
Speaker 1: there to say that. But you want a dense ol

455
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:10,240
Speaker 1: pump or an original pump from Toyota, Alexis it is,

456
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:12,880
Speaker 1: it's it's It's not the easiest pump in the world

457
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 1: to do, but it's not super difficult. But you don't

458
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:17,440
Speaker 1: want to have to revisit it twice. This is a

459
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:20,040
Speaker 1: two thousand and eight. It went twelve years. Hopefully you

460
00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:22,920
Speaker 1: get another twelve years out of it. And make sure

461
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 1: that when you do this job, you do an exchange

462
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 1: and you you know, all the old coolant out, all

463
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:33,720
Speaker 1: fresh coolant in. Okay, good, Thank you very much for

464
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:37,200
Speaker 1: taking You're very welcome. You take good care, and like

465
00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:39,600
Speaker 1: I said, get out to a Rileyoto dot com. You'll

466
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:41,840
Speaker 1: find everything you need. I'm sure I'm runing aiding in

467
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:44,880
Speaker 1: the car doctor eight five five zero nine zero zero.

468
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:59,119
Speaker 1: I'll be back right after this. Welcome back. The car

469
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:02,720
Speaker 1: doctor eight five five zero zero the phone number. Just

470
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:05,280
Speaker 1: a real quick aside, Shelby. Jimmy's gonna be on the

471
00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:08,880
Speaker 1: road this week. Jimmy's taking Blue, his sixty six Shelby Gt.

472
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:12,399
Speaker 1: Three fifty down Tennessee Caroline away for some sort of

473
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:14,600
Speaker 1: Shelby convention or something. I'm not sure what I think.

474
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:16,959
Speaker 1: Jimmy just wants to go tearing around the Blue Ridge Mountains.

475
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:18,760
Speaker 1: We had it in the shop this week. He had

476
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:21,960
Speaker 1: some problems with oil breathing. The crank case breathers weren't

477
00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:23,920
Speaker 1: set up right, and we're doing some valve cover work

478
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:27,240
Speaker 1: and we noticed that the engine builder had installed these

479
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:29,840
Speaker 1: baffle plates with holes in the top, so they really

480
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 1: didn't and weren't effective to provide baffling. The oil was

481
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:36,400
Speaker 1: going right up and out the breather and splattering along

482
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:38,879
Speaker 1: the back and the bottom of the engine, and basically

483
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:41,240
Speaker 1: the car was being rustproof, which is okay, it's cool, right.

484
00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:43,320
Speaker 1: Sixty six Shelby went around as long as we can,

485
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:46,359
Speaker 1: but we found the original baffle plates. Jimmy cleaned out

486
00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:49,240
Speaker 1: his garage, God bless him, much to his wife's happiness,

487
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:51,320
Speaker 1: and while Blue was gone, while we had it, and

488
00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:53,600
Speaker 1: he found the original baffle plates and we installed them.

489
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:57,920
Speaker 1: And in installing them, we noticed that the valve cover

490
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:01,240
Speaker 1: on the driver's side didn't lay right, and sure enough,

491
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:07,359
Speaker 1: the roller rockers didn't clear the baffle plate. Now now

492
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:10,320
Speaker 1: I understood why the engine builder drilled three holes in

493
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:12,560
Speaker 1: the baffle plate to make clearance, because I kept looking

494
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 1: at it saying why are these holes here? So the

495
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:18,399
Speaker 1: problem is do we want to let the engine have

496
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:21,640
Speaker 1: poor oil control and keep blowing oil out the breathers

497
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:24,479
Speaker 1: by using the wrong baffle plates, or do we want

498
00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:28,560
Speaker 1: to make the old baffle plates fit. Thank God for

499
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:30,680
Speaker 1: ball peen hammers. I know it sounds crude on the

500
00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:33,359
Speaker 1: hud seventy five dollars Shelby, but GM said it in

501
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:35,320
Speaker 1: sixty four when they told you to peen a relief

502
00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:38,200
Speaker 1: to make valve covers fit on their corvettes. We peened

503
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:40,080
Speaker 1: a relief, got the valve covers on. Jim will be

504
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:43,359
Speaker 1: tearing around the Blue Ridge Mountains by tuesday, so god speed.

505
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:45,199
Speaker 1: Jimmy calls back in two weeks, let us know how

506
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:47,640
Speaker 1: the trip was. We're We're sure Blue will be good

507
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:50,520
Speaker 1: for you. Let's get over to Joe and Nashville attend

508
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:53,600
Speaker 1: Toyota RAV four and a shutter Joe. Welcome to the car, doctor, sir,

509
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:58,640
Speaker 1: how can I help? Okay? Yeah, two thousands Toyota RAP

510
00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:06,359
Speaker 1: for four sellin or three seventy thousand miles. Yeah, I

511
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:10,880
Speaker 1: hear you. Man, just ready to go. That's right. When

512
00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:15,080
Speaker 1: I'm going up a hill, um, say, forty miles per

513
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:18,719
Speaker 1: hour and for the entire length of that hill when

514
00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:22,200
Speaker 1: it's under load like that, UM, I'm getting like a

515
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:27,880
Speaker 1: shutter uh slight hesitate, uh slight hesitating. Maybe you'd call

516
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:33,119
Speaker 1: it um and maybe possibly the only other symptom I

517
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:36,200
Speaker 1: don't know if it's related, is a longer than normal

518
00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:41,560
Speaker 1: crank time, but not you know, excessive. But those are

519
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:45,520
Speaker 1: the only two things that um it's doing. And I've

520
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:49,480
Speaker 1: just kind of like some direction on how to diagnose it. Okay,

521
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:54,520
Speaker 1: the six or four cylinder? Joe, four cylinder? What sort

522
00:28:54,520 --> 00:29:01,120
Speaker 1: of scantol do you have? Anything? Got a launch? Can

523
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:04,840
Speaker 1: you read seven? Can you can you read datas? Can

524
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:08,880
Speaker 1: you read data stream with that launch? Yes? Okay, let's go.

525
00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:12,040
Speaker 1: So we're gonna operate on the principle of tell me

526
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:15,240
Speaker 1: what's good, all right, and you have to think in

527
00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:17,360
Speaker 1: terms of that, if you came home and you flicked

528
00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:18,920
Speaker 1: on the light switch at the house and the ball

529
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:21,560
Speaker 1: didn't come on, would you just start changing parts or

530
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:24,320
Speaker 1: would you try and diagnose it? Most people would put

531
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:26,800
Speaker 1: the ball. Yeah, yeah, most people would put a ball

532
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:28,880
Speaker 1: then because that's easy. But when that doesn't work, then

533
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 1: we begin to diagnose. So let's diagnose this, all right,

534
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:35,840
Speaker 1: tell me what fuel trim is? All right? Do you do?

535
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:40,880
Speaker 1: You understand the concept of fuel trim only from listening

536
00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:46,960
Speaker 1: to you to really basic. Uh, It's kind of like numeric, right,

537
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 1: it's a fire for example, or keeping the fire going. Yeah, well,

538
00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:56,680
Speaker 1: it's it's numeric addition or subtraction of fuel to the

539
00:29:56,800 --> 00:30:00,320
Speaker 1: engine based on how it's running. It's so that it

540
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:04,600
Speaker 1: maintains a correct air fuel mixture. All right, it's a

541
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:07,680
Speaker 1: measurement taken. We're gonna be worried about and concerned about

542
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:09,720
Speaker 1: the number when the vehicle is warmed up, so the

543
00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:12,520
Speaker 1: vehicle's enclosed loop. It's typically over a hundred and seventy

544
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:16,080
Speaker 1: five degrees. If you look at fuel system status, it

545
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:18,600
Speaker 1: will say c L are closed, meaning that it's enclosed

546
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:22,160
Speaker 1: loop operation. That's what we're looking for all right. We

547
00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:24,520
Speaker 1: want to see we want to see short term fuel

548
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:30,200
Speaker 1: trim somewhere cruising a long normal conditions. Plus or minus

549
00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:33,240
Speaker 1: ten percent's okay, ten percent probably high, and we want

550
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:35,600
Speaker 1: to see long term fuel trim in that plus or

551
00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:40,280
Speaker 1: minus five percent window. All right, now, I will say

552
00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:43,480
Speaker 1: this ten percent short term, five percent long term is

553
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:47,080
Speaker 1: a total of fifteen percent fuel trim. Will typically see

554
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:52,520
Speaker 1: twenty five percent turn on a light softcent would be

555
00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:55,800
Speaker 1: high in my opinion. All right, we're gonna see. We're

556
00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:58,200
Speaker 1: gonna see a tighter window than that. So tell me

557
00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:00,200
Speaker 1: what fuel trim is. Go down and look at it.

558
00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:02,560
Speaker 1: See where fuel trims at. I don't know if your

559
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:05,320
Speaker 1: launch tool does it, but i'd also want to know

560
00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 1: do we have any data in mode six? Mode six

561
00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 1: is the information that the computer uses to make a

562
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:15,600
Speaker 1: decision whether or not there's a fault in a component

563
00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:19,600
Speaker 1: or circuit. And some scan tools give you the ability

564
00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 1: to look at mode six and it'll it'll show you

565
00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:27,120
Speaker 1: something like minimum test value, maximum test value, actual test value.

566
00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:32,920
Speaker 1: So if we're talking about ignition misfires and it says

567
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:39,560
Speaker 1: maximum ignition misfire allowed twenty thousand, minimum ignition misfire would

568
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:45,680
Speaker 1: be zero actual misfire. If it was fourteen thousand, would

569
00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:52,840
Speaker 1: that turn on a check engine light? No? Right? Right?

570
00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:54,560
Speaker 1: Do you do? You do? You see my point, Joe?

571
00:31:55,880 --> 00:32:00,320
Speaker 1: If maximum If maximum value is twenty and it's running

572
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:02,560
Speaker 1: at fourteen, it's not going to turn on the fault.

573
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:07,360
Speaker 1: But fourteens enough to make the car shutter and shake. Right,

574
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:13,120
Speaker 1: So so you know, just because the car has no

575
00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:18,640
Speaker 1: codes doesn't mean we can't fix it. So we have

576
00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:21,880
Speaker 1: to go tell me what's good. If you've got an

577
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:24,560
Speaker 1: easy way to hook up fuel pressure at three five

578
00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:27,840
Speaker 1: thousand miles, fuel pressure and volume would be a wonderful thing.

579
00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:31,120
Speaker 1: I'd also be thinking about pump cavitation. Do we see

580
00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:32,920
Speaker 1: any air bubbles in the fuel lines? You need a

581
00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:36,280
Speaker 1: special tester for that. And then last, I'd like you

582
00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:38,240
Speaker 1: to ponder and think about what sort of shape is

583
00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:41,840
Speaker 1: the trans in? You know, we've we've seen cases where

584
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:45,440
Speaker 1: ignition looks good, fuel trim looks good, and we've still

585
00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:48,000
Speaker 1: gotta shutter and shake? Is the trans fluid beat up?

586
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:50,200
Speaker 1: Is the trans fluid browns as the trans fluid have

587
00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:53,360
Speaker 1: smelled to it? Does changing trans fluid make a difference?

588
00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:56,520
Speaker 1: Does going uphill in a different gear affect the way

589
00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:59,560
Speaker 1: the trans operates or the vehicle runs. You got your

590
00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:01,640
Speaker 1: homework for you, Joe, do those things? Call me back?

591
00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:03,719
Speaker 1: I'm roning ating in the car doctor will return right

592
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:20,200
Speaker 1: after this. Welcome back or any of the car doctor.

593
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:24,600
Speaker 1: A little taste of what can go wrong in a

594
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:28,200
Speaker 1: repair shop, even when you have all the tools, even

595
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:30,480
Speaker 1: when you try to have the right tools for the job,

596
00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:33,160
Speaker 1: even when you try to keep your software updated. What

597
00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:35,880
Speaker 1: could go wrong? I've got a bulletin in front of

598
00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:38,160
Speaker 1: me from the National Automotive Service Task Force. Whereas we

599
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:41,600
Speaker 1: in the business called NASTIFF, and it starts out dear NASTIFF.

600
00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:45,680
Speaker 1: Member NASTIFF has received several service information requests identifying issues

601
00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:48,680
Speaker 1: with four Diagnostics software applications. We've spoken with the four

602
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:51,719
Speaker 1: Diagnostics team have been informed they're working as fast as

603
00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:54,080
Speaker 1: possible to create a solution. It's anticipated that it will

604
00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:57,000
Speaker 1: be in testing later today June four and in the

605
00:33:57,120 --> 00:34:00,600
Speaker 1: field by June eight. Motorcraft service supporters or solutions to

606
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:04,760
Speaker 1: technicians and locksmiths that have been marginally effective. Our recommendation

607
00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:08,040
Speaker 1: is to avoid spending significant time backing up to an

608
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:10,760
Speaker 1: earlier version that has not worked and the better answer

609
00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:12,759
Speaker 1: is to offer your customers an apology and a wait

610
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:17,200
Speaker 1: for the fix. What this means in everyday English, you

611
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:19,799
Speaker 1: take your car into the ford dealer or the repair shop,

612
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:24,480
Speaker 1: you try to get a software update. Something's not working properly,

613
00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:28,840
Speaker 1: whether it's the air conditioning doesn't display, the engine doesn't

614
00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:32,960
Speaker 1: run right, the transmission doesn't shift correctly, and there's a

615
00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:37,719
Speaker 1: glitch in the actual software. There's a bug and it's

616
00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:40,400
Speaker 1: not allowing the trans it's not allowing the software to

617
00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:44,040
Speaker 1: complete its job, and it's basically going to make the

618
00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:48,120
Speaker 1: car worse. It happens, it's been happening, it's going to

619
00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:51,520
Speaker 1: continue to happen. And I thought the point of this

620
00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:56,680
Speaker 1: was and g wiz, thank gosh for companies like nastaf Right,

621
00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:59,319
Speaker 1: the National No Normal Service Task Force, because how many

622
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:02,719
Speaker 1: technicians bang their head against the wall trying to figure out, Hey,

623
00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:04,480
Speaker 1: I can't get this car to work. All of a sudden,

624
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:07,920
Speaker 1: it's worse than when I started. The road to the

625
00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:12,799
Speaker 1: future has some bumps along the way, and we're gonna

626
00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:14,880
Speaker 1: have to really start to get some clear vision on

627
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:17,839
Speaker 1: where we wanted to go because they're only gonna get

628
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:20,400
Speaker 1: more complicated, and we're going to create our own headaches

629
00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:23,120
Speaker 1: and our own problems, and for that we're gonna have

630
00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:26,440
Speaker 1: to create some very intelligent technicians. I'm running any in

631
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:28,839
Speaker 1: the car, doctor, reminding you this time, until the next time.

632
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:32,200
Speaker 1: Good mechanics aren't expensive, they're priceless. See you
