1 00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:05,760 Speaker 1: Ron Anian. A lot of our listeners tell me that 2 00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:09,200 Speaker 1: their dogs like to listen to the show and they 3 00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:11,360 Speaker 1: sleep real soundly. So I don't know if I'm boring 4 00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:22,159 Speaker 1: or if I'm soothing the Car Doctor, because if he 5 00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:24,400 Speaker 1: tells you it's the transmission and then it needs a 6 00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:27,800 Speaker 1: trans well, and you know, if that's what the diagnosis 7 00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:30,160 Speaker 1: comes to, the worst that happens is if you continue 8 00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:32,080 Speaker 1: to drive it, you're gonna ruin the trends, which has 9 00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:35,080 Speaker 1: already ruined. Welcome to the radio home of Ron and 10 00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:39,839 Speaker 1: Nannian the Car Doctor, since this is where car owners 11 00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:44,320 Speaker 1: the world overturned to for their definitive opinion on automotive repair. 12 00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:47,559 Speaker 1: If your mechanics giving you a busy signal, pick up 13 00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:51,120 Speaker 1: the phone and call in the garage to orders are open, 14 00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:53,199 Speaker 1: but I am here to take your calls at eight 15 00:00:53,320 --> 00:01:03,040 Speaker 1: five and now running. We're always talking about what scan 16 00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:05,200 Speaker 1: tool to buy and and and you know, how can 17 00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:06,800 Speaker 1: you have so many scan tools or how can a 18 00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,720 Speaker 1: shop need more than one scan tool? And what's the purpose. 19 00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:12,480 Speaker 1: And you know there's always that six guns shootout in 20 00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:14,560 Speaker 1: the middle of the shop, like the Okay Corral. Hey 21 00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:16,560 Speaker 1: who's got the best scan tool? You know what the 22 00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:19,000 Speaker 1: fact is, everybody's scan tool has a fit and a 23 00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:21,520 Speaker 1: finish in a need and and and a purpose, and 24 00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:24,360 Speaker 1: and some fit certain vehicles better than others. And you're 25 00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:26,360 Speaker 1: always looking for the one that seems to have the 26 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:28,840 Speaker 1: best overall fit. And I think that's gonna go on 27 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:31,600 Speaker 1: and and fin them, It's gonna go on forever, you know, 28 00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:34,640 Speaker 1: into electric vehicles, because I'm sure electric vehicles well some 29 00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:37,760 Speaker 1: kind of diagnostic scan tool involved in repairing them as well, 30 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,920 Speaker 1: because it just can't they just cannot write a long 31 00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:43,600 Speaker 1: way around the bar. I'm trying to make a point. 32 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:47,840 Speaker 1: Had a car this week, a RAM pick up that 33 00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:52,520 Speaker 1: would do different things with the transmission dependent upon temperature, 34 00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:54,720 Speaker 1: would go in and out of lock up at different times. 35 00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:56,880 Speaker 1: And it was really at the local trans shop we 36 00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,360 Speaker 1: were helping them diagnose that they had called us in 37 00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:01,920 Speaker 1: as part of an outside helped to just do some 38 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,360 Speaker 1: consulting and just say, hey, can you tell us, you know, 39 00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:05,760 Speaker 1: what do you see with this? What do you see 40 00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:07,880 Speaker 1: with that? We're looking for specific things and values and 41 00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,000 Speaker 1: just to get ideas, you know, kind of kicking around 42 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 1: the table a little bit and let's see if we 43 00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:15,160 Speaker 1: can fix this vehicle. And one of the things we 44 00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:18,720 Speaker 1: we noticed was there was no way they were using 45 00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:22,120 Speaker 1: a snap on scan tool at first current generation, current 46 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:24,760 Speaker 1: model software. It wasn't an outdated tool by any stretch 47 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:29,840 Speaker 1: of the imagination, and it didn't have the necessary pits 48 00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:34,120 Speaker 1: that the pieces of data that would give us the 49 00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 1: information we wanted. And one of the things we wanted 50 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:39,680 Speaker 1: to look at was line pressure on this particular ram truck. 51 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:42,959 Speaker 1: And you know, in the old days, last week, I 52 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,000 Speaker 1: think last week is old days now the way technology 53 00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,240 Speaker 1: is moving us forward. You know, in the old days, 54 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,480 Speaker 1: it was done with mechanical gauges. You would you would 55 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:52,240 Speaker 1: tie in with gauges and you would, you know, put 56 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:55,000 Speaker 1: the vehicle up and run it and look at different pressures. 57 00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,280 Speaker 1: And then his cars evolved, it would be more so 58 00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:59,120 Speaker 1: with a scan tool and you could actually look at 59 00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:02,280 Speaker 1: different into readings with a scan tool to evaluate and 60 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:06,680 Speaker 1: determine internal trans hydraulic condition. And the snap on didn't 61 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,600 Speaker 1: have it for this particular truck. So Todd showed up 62 00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:11,639 Speaker 1: at my doorstep. I probably meant I use his name 63 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:13,799 Speaker 1: here on er because I think he listens. Don't worry, Todd, 64 00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:17,960 Speaker 1: I won't tell anybody, And and um, what do you have? 65 00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:20,240 Speaker 1: And I said, what do you want? You know, well, 66 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 1: you know, I think I can. I'll give you one 67 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 1: you can I can do with. I'll make do with 68 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,880 Speaker 1: the other fifteen I have. And I happened to give 69 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 1: him the launch I gave him the Launch Torque, all right, 70 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,880 Speaker 1: which is their latest, greatest. And it's it's a nice 71 00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:36,520 Speaker 1: big tool tablet. It's it's, it's it's. Um. I believe 72 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:40,160 Speaker 1: it's rated for body shop dust impact protection. UM, I forgot, 73 00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:42,520 Speaker 1: it's not. I s O nine thousand. There's another standard 74 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:44,800 Speaker 1: by which it's met. It's actually it's a it's a 75 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,080 Speaker 1: sealed unit that will take some abuse. This thing will 76 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 1: take a beaten and um it's. It's fast becoming a 77 00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:52,280 Speaker 1: favorite in the shop for a variety of reasons, and 78 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 1: one of them is this. Every time we go looking 79 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:56,600 Speaker 1: for a pit or a piece of information, or a 80 00:03:56,600 --> 00:04:01,040 Speaker 1: special function or a capability, it's there. Todd took it, 81 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,160 Speaker 1: hooked it up, called me back later. He said, hey, 82 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 1: you know what you were right? He said, there was 83 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,480 Speaker 1: line pressure. I was able to read line pressure and 84 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,680 Speaker 1: pressure control inside the launch tool, where I couldn't do 85 00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:13,480 Speaker 1: it with the snap on and it's kind of got 86 00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 1: us going in the direction we think it's an internal 87 00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:17,919 Speaker 1: transport at this point, and we're gonna now we feel 88 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 1: comfortable pulling the trans out of the vehicle and and 89 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,680 Speaker 1: making a decision on you know, how to repair this, 90 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:27,039 Speaker 1: which they couldn't do with the snap on tool. And 91 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:29,800 Speaker 1: you know that's that's part of the business. Now you 92 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,200 Speaker 1: need more than one scan tool, and I think you're 93 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:35,159 Speaker 1: gonna see a scramble as as more and more pits, 94 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:38,279 Speaker 1: more and more pieces of information are added to vehicles, 95 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,360 Speaker 1: and in terms of you know, reading different sensors and 96 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 1: different values to see what's going on, you're seeing more 97 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:47,479 Speaker 1: and more of the manufacturers go to everything's gonna be electronic. 98 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,159 Speaker 1: Everything is more and more by sensor. There are going 99 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,640 Speaker 1: to be no more mechanical hookups with gauges and things 100 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,440 Speaker 1: like that like we used to do last week, because 101 00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,240 Speaker 1: it's more costly. It's easier to do it with software 102 00:04:58,279 --> 00:04:59,920 Speaker 1: and a switch than it is to you know, miss 103 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,760 Speaker 1: Sheena port make a test port thread fittings and you 104 00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:07,600 Speaker 1: get the idea, and it just it was a classic 105 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:12,360 Speaker 1: example of why you need more than one. And you know, 106 00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:14,160 Speaker 1: so many shops come up to me and say, hey, wrong, 107 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:16,000 Speaker 1: what scantal do you use? And I say, what are 108 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,240 Speaker 1: we working on? And what the hy the week is it? 109 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 1: And what ye are we in because you know, by 110 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,240 Speaker 1: the time I get done saying this, somebody will come 111 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 1: out with the next good, better, best scenario. And finding 112 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 1: something that is updated on a regular basis and brings 113 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:35,599 Speaker 1: value to the table, you know, is very important. And 114 00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 1: that's one of the things the launch does. And by 115 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,640 Speaker 1: the way, you get more information launched tech USA dot com. 116 00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:42,520 Speaker 1: You know, that's one of the That's just one of 117 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:46,800 Speaker 1: the things that Launched does and their update system they 118 00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 1: come out, they'll they'll come out sometimes weekly every ten days, 119 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 1: but they come out on a regular basis where they're 120 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:57,039 Speaker 1: providing good solid information, uh, to the to the people 121 00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:59,920 Speaker 1: that are using their tools to keep us going because 122 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,240 Speaker 1: as the car changes so much, the tool that works 123 00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:04,640 Speaker 1: on it so um. Just food for thought, and uh, 124 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:07,600 Speaker 1: Todd'll be happy I plugged him up here on Aaron TODDSI, 125 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:09,360 Speaker 1: I didn't really say your real name? Yes I did, 126 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 1: and and uh, you know, just an example of of 127 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:16,799 Speaker 1: of why and how we need more than one scam 128 00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:19,280 Speaker 1: tool in the shop and sometimes having UH five or 129 00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:20,840 Speaker 1: six is a good thing too, because you can kind 130 00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 1: of go through the draw. Let's get over to the 131 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,200 Speaker 1: busy phones. Thank you for joining us today. This is 132 00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:26,240 Speaker 1: Ronaldini and the car Doctor. Let's go over and talk 133 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:29,960 Speaker 1: to John in New Hampshire, the CRV. John, Welcome up board, sir. 134 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 1: How can I help hi? Ron h CRV with a 135 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,159 Speaker 1: hundred and thirty eight thousand miles hign wait for it, 136 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 1: just just a week. Just broken in, brother Jess, broken in? Oh, 137 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:46,840 Speaker 1: I know, I know, you know what, Ron, This may 138 00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:52,800 Speaker 1: be the first mechanical repair other than breaks, tires, etcetera. 139 00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:57,360 Speaker 1: Isn't that great? That's yeah? Just cars are just getting better, man, 140 00:06:57,400 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 1: they really are. You know. Is the half a million 141 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:06,240 Speaker 1: mile are as a regular occurrence around the corner? You wonder? Yeah? So, Um, 142 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:09,400 Speaker 1: about a week ago my wife noticed, um, a couple 143 00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:14,600 Speaker 1: of spots on the garage floor, um, at the rear 144 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:18,119 Speaker 1: of the vehicle. And I went under there and checked 145 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:23,520 Speaker 1: it out. And the inner boot CV boot on the 146 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:28,360 Speaker 1: driver's side rear axle is greasy, and um you can 147 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:31,320 Speaker 1: see where the grease has been being thrown around from 148 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:35,600 Speaker 1: that boot. Um there's no there's no obvious tear, no 149 00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,400 Speaker 1: hole nothing on the boot, but there's got to be 150 00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:42,560 Speaker 1: something there because the grease is coming out. UM. I 151 00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:48,520 Speaker 1: spoke with him, a mechanic, and his recommendation was too, um, 152 00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:52,880 Speaker 1: replace that axle with a remanufactured axle, which you'll have 153 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 1: new boots on it. Now. I also want to mention 154 00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:59,000 Speaker 1: no noise coming from the axle. And also this has 155 00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:03,280 Speaker 1: to be relatively recent because whenever I swapped the tires 156 00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:06,880 Speaker 1: from winter to summer, which this year was beginning of May, 157 00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:09,320 Speaker 1: Um I checked, you know, I took all the boots 158 00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:14,560 Speaker 1: and they were all fine at that point in time. UM. 159 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:18,960 Speaker 1: My concern is we were formerly subre owners for many 160 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:26,720 Speaker 1: years and we had many axle shafts replaced on those subarus. Yeah, 161 00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:32,240 Speaker 1: we did, and um they after they were replaced, the 162 00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:35,000 Speaker 1: quality of them never seemed to be as good as 163 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:38,600 Speaker 1: the original axles they were. You know, they would make 164 00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:42,160 Speaker 1: some type of noise or whatever. So I'm torn between 165 00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:47,920 Speaker 1: having this axle replaced or I found the product at O'Reilly. 166 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:52,000 Speaker 1: It's a it's a boot that is as has a 167 00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:55,520 Speaker 1: split in it. You could take the old boot, yeah, 168 00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:57,440 Speaker 1: you could take the old boot off put the new 169 00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:00,240 Speaker 1: one on. They have like a vulcanizing compound that you 170 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:02,880 Speaker 1: put on that bonds it together, and then you re 171 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:06,199 Speaker 1: greased the joint and you, you know, clamp it on. 172 00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:10,520 Speaker 1: What is your opinion in this situation? Split the split 173 00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:13,400 Speaker 1: boots have kind of died away in our in our 174 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,599 Speaker 1: place in the marketplace because axles are so readily available. 175 00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:19,960 Speaker 1: One of the concerns I do have is with replacement axles. 176 00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:22,480 Speaker 1: I just won't use anybody's replacement axle. To tell you 177 00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:24,040 Speaker 1: the truth, I don't even know the brand that my 178 00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,240 Speaker 1: my main supplier sells me. All I know is when 179 00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:27,480 Speaker 1: I pick up the phone and I talked to my 180 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:29,280 Speaker 1: say Charles, is that accellent? Anly good? Yeah, we have 181 00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,400 Speaker 1: zero problems with them, or we have a very low 182 00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:34,480 Speaker 1: percentage of return rate, And I go, okay, great. Uh. 183 00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:37,120 Speaker 1: You know to the point that I would probably use 184 00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:39,920 Speaker 1: one of those particular axles on a super UF. I 185 00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:42,160 Speaker 1: had to because I'm well aware of the Subar up problem. 186 00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:46,400 Speaker 1: Subaru's problem wasn't that the axle re manufacturers were making 187 00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:50,560 Speaker 1: bad axles or remaining bad axles Subaru left. There were 188 00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:54,920 Speaker 1: so many choices, and typically the axle length was not 189 00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:58,400 Speaker 1: measured correctly or not the information for what length axle 190 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:02,680 Speaker 1: went with what car wasn't supplied correctly, and you would 191 00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:04,400 Speaker 1: put the accele in and it would be too long 192 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:06,240 Speaker 1: and it would be cramped together. And now you'd have 193 00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:08,720 Speaker 1: a vibration at idle and it would be a you'd 194 00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:11,080 Speaker 1: feel it through the steering wheel and the floorboard. You know. 195 00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:14,199 Speaker 1: Of course, the axlary manufacturer, if he was trying to 196 00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:16,439 Speaker 1: do it really dirt cheap, and he used a lousy boot. 197 00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:18,480 Speaker 1: If I can say lousy on radio there, I said 198 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:20,640 Speaker 1: it twice and I'll say it again, lousy. If he 199 00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:23,880 Speaker 1: used a lousy boot for um, you know, yeah, nothing's 200 00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:26,960 Speaker 1: gonna hold up. So Subaru in a in a way 201 00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:29,440 Speaker 1: created their own problems, but they were a victim of 202 00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,559 Speaker 1: too many axles, too many lengths, and not enough information 203 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,200 Speaker 1: on how to disseminate and break it down. What I 204 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:38,360 Speaker 1: would try. If there's no physical leak in the boot, 205 00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:41,480 Speaker 1: all right, And I get your concern for wanting to 206 00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:44,200 Speaker 1: keep that axle until it becomes an issue. If there's 207 00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:46,600 Speaker 1: no physical leak in the boot, as long as the 208 00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:50,679 Speaker 1: boot hasn't gotten porous, all right. If this is if 209 00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:53,280 Speaker 1: this is the do you think this the boot's gotten porous, 210 00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:56,120 Speaker 1: that the rubber is seeping, or that it's leaking out 211 00:10:56,160 --> 00:11:00,400 Speaker 1: from underneath the clamp on the axle shaft itself. Boy, 212 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:03,800 Speaker 1: the rubber seems to be in such good conditions. I 213 00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:06,280 Speaker 1: guess that's a possibility. So do this. What if you 214 00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:08,480 Speaker 1: just you know, got some break clean on a rag 215 00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:10,680 Speaker 1: and crawled under there, you know, secure the vehicle so 216 00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:14,040 Speaker 1: you're safe, and just you know, wipe the outside of 217 00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:16,760 Speaker 1: the boot. Take your time, getting the bellows, getting the folds, 218 00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:20,280 Speaker 1: get everything wiped off, spotlessly clean, and then wipe the 219 00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:24,400 Speaker 1: grease around from where the small end of the boot 220 00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:27,160 Speaker 1: is clamped to the axle, and then around where the 221 00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:29,200 Speaker 1: big end of the boot is clamped to the joint. 222 00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:32,960 Speaker 1: All right, and then and then drive it. Where do 223 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:36,160 Speaker 1: you see the grease? And if you see the If 224 00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:38,240 Speaker 1: you see the grease on the small end by the 225 00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:42,360 Speaker 1: axle and the boot is clean and it's it's solid, 226 00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:46,400 Speaker 1: I'd reclamp it. I tried just putting a fresh clamp 227 00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:49,640 Speaker 1: on it. What could it What could it hurt? Yeah? Right, 228 00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:54,360 Speaker 1: you know, you know, or clamp the big end. I'm 229 00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:58,720 Speaker 1: sure the mechanic listen, you know, Yeah, mechanics make money 230 00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:01,120 Speaker 1: selling repairs and parts. I at that, but there's also 231 00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:03,600 Speaker 1: a liability factor. If a mechanic told you to do 232 00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:06,040 Speaker 1: that and it didn't work, or a mechanics said, hey, 233 00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:08,160 Speaker 1: you know, John, we're gonna try doing this and we'll 234 00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:09,560 Speaker 1: clamp this and we'll take some time, and it will 235 00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:11,160 Speaker 1: cost you a hundred dollars for us to get under 236 00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:13,320 Speaker 1: there and clean everything and go through the cabeba. And 237 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:15,280 Speaker 1: it doesn't work, John's gonna go, geez, why don't you 238 00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:17,360 Speaker 1: just put an axle on the car. That's how most 239 00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:19,840 Speaker 1: people are. Maybe you're not, but you get my point. 240 00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:21,800 Speaker 1: So they're trying to give the answer that's going to 241 00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:25,160 Speaker 1: cover the basis. So you know, take some time, do 242 00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:28,560 Speaker 1: that and see what that does. And then if that 243 00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:30,640 Speaker 1: doesn't work and you've got to try a boot, or 244 00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:32,640 Speaker 1: you want to try a boot, yeah, I would do 245 00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:34,520 Speaker 1: the split boot, or go talk to the folks at 246 00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:37,000 Speaker 1: the local O'Reilly oto parts and see what they have 247 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:39,400 Speaker 1: to say as far as what brand of axel do 248 00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:42,080 Speaker 1: they like in terms of uh, you know, in in 249 00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:45,040 Speaker 1: terms of what works and uh you know what, what 250 00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:46,800 Speaker 1: what does? What they needed to do and what won't 251 00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:48,840 Speaker 1: give them the least you know, we'll we'll give you 252 00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:51,360 Speaker 1: any grief if you get what I'm saying, and uh, 253 00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:52,960 Speaker 1: you know you can kind of take it from there, 254 00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:55,280 Speaker 1: all right, sir, You do that and we'll talk again 255 00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:56,959 Speaker 1: afterwards when you need us more. I'm running any of 256 00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:08,920 Speaker 1: the Car Doctor. We're back right after this. Whether it's 257 00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:12,040 Speaker 1: a little red Corvette or you go, you've come to 258 00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:14,520 Speaker 1: the right place to get that car fixed. Ron Andy 259 00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:17,800 Speaker 1: in the Car Doctor eight five five five zero nine 260 00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:21,520 Speaker 1: zero zero. Now back to Ron. Hey, let's cruise on 261 00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:24,800 Speaker 1: over to Marlon and Delaware. What's going on here? Thirteen Christler, Marlin. 262 00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:27,760 Speaker 1: Welcome to the Car Doctor. Sir. How can I help Ron? 263 00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:29,360 Speaker 1: It's an honor to speak to you. I love the 264 00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:33,920 Speaker 1: show you. I have a two thousand, as you said, 265 00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:37,600 Speaker 1: this is an LX Bass model former rental, and I'm 266 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:40,440 Speaker 1: proud to say barely broken into one or three thousand miles. 267 00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:46,480 Speaker 1: Just right when i go to an off ramp or 268 00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:48,360 Speaker 1: an on ramp and I'm going about forty five to 269 00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:52,200 Speaker 1: fifty and I apply the break and I'm banking, my 270 00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:55,960 Speaker 1: break light will come on for about five to seven 271 00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:59,839 Speaker 1: seconds and then it'll go off. The red run fine, 272 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:03,959 Speaker 1: the red brake light the red brake light. Okay, all right, 273 00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:07,959 Speaker 1: and everything is performing properly. Have you checked fluid level? 274 00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:12,320 Speaker 1: Fluid levels fine, all right. So there's three reasons why 275 00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:14,360 Speaker 1: that red brake light comes on in this vehicle under 276 00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:18,640 Speaker 1: normal conditions, all right, regardless of We'll talk about your 277 00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:21,400 Speaker 1: twisting and turning in a minute. One is the parking 278 00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:23,120 Speaker 1: brake level is not released, because this is the same 279 00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:25,160 Speaker 1: bread light, same brake light if you pulled up on 280 00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:27,640 Speaker 1: the parking break, right, this is the red brake light 281 00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:30,960 Speaker 1: that would go on. Correct, correct, Okay, we'll pushed down 282 00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:33,800 Speaker 1: in the petal whatever the cars equipped with. So it's 283 00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:37,160 Speaker 1: the parking brake isn't fully released. The brake fluid is 284 00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:41,120 Speaker 1: low in the reservoir, all right, Or there's a problem 285 00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:44,920 Speaker 1: with the mechanical cluster, all right, there's those are the 286 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:49,520 Speaker 1: those are the three indicators. So what's common on this 287 00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:52,560 Speaker 1: and you know a lot of other vehicles. How clean 288 00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:57,640 Speaker 1: is the brake fluid? Um? I would say it's average, 289 00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:00,000 Speaker 1: all right, So well, average on a two or three 290 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,240 Speaker 1: thousand mile car might mean it looks like the Hudson River, 291 00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:05,160 Speaker 1: So you know, is it is it clean? Is it clear? 292 00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:07,520 Speaker 1: No disparaging comments to the Hudson, But I've seen it. 293 00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:10,960 Speaker 1: Um you know, is it is it? Is it clean? 294 00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:13,080 Speaker 1: Is it clear? Does it you know, does it have 295 00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:16,080 Speaker 1: the non technical term Schmitz in it? Because what's what's 296 00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:18,960 Speaker 1: what's not uncommon is as the fluid ages and gets 297 00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:22,840 Speaker 1: older and gets crut and grit and contaminated and it 298 00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:25,080 Speaker 1: you'll find the switches and the masters in the in 299 00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:28,120 Speaker 1: the reservoirs start to stick and then they'll do funny things. 300 00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:30,560 Speaker 1: And you go take a ride around the corner at 301 00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:33,040 Speaker 1: you know, forty miles an hour, and the fluid shifts 302 00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:35,560 Speaker 1: and it will change and effect the rate at which 303 00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:38,960 Speaker 1: that switch responds and sometimes cause of false reading. What 304 00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:42,360 Speaker 1: if you electrically disconnect that switch and go do your ride? 305 00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:46,720 Speaker 1: Have you done that? I have not? Okay, that's step one, 306 00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:49,360 Speaker 1: all right? And then if that doesn't change it, and 307 00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:52,480 Speaker 1: the light still comes on, leave the leave the switch disconnected, 308 00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:55,080 Speaker 1: and just for giggles, find the switch connector on the 309 00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:58,440 Speaker 1: parking brake lever and go for a rod, all right, 310 00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:00,920 Speaker 1: And if that doesn't and if that doesn't do it, 311 00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:03,280 Speaker 1: then you've got to have a conversation. Now you've got 312 00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:05,120 Speaker 1: to get out of wiring diagram and look at it. 313 00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:08,760 Speaker 1: When you look at it, you'll see there's probably fourteen 314 00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:10,600 Speaker 1: if I remember right, I just I just went through 315 00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:13,280 Speaker 1: this once on a two about four months ago. There 316 00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:17,080 Speaker 1: was something like fourteen or eighteen main wires connected in 317 00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:19,520 Speaker 1: And you've got to start to look where the harnesses go. 318 00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:24,040 Speaker 1: Do we have something rubbing creating a ground leg, turning 319 00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:28,640 Speaker 1: the light on? You know it's that's yeah, right, yeah, 320 00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:31,360 Speaker 1: and that's that's that's where you're going with this. So 321 00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:33,720 Speaker 1: but let's do the simple stuff first. Let's unplug the 322 00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:36,600 Speaker 1: master and see what I'm plugging the master does for you. 323 00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:38,840 Speaker 1: And if that does it, then you kind of know 324 00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:42,000 Speaker 1: where to go. All right, brother, thank you all do 325 00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:43,560 Speaker 1: it and I'll let you now go give us a 326 00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:45,960 Speaker 1: report back. You're very welcome, Marlin. Thanks for tuning usening 327 00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:50,040 Speaker 1: down there Delaware way. You know, diagnostics aren't difficult. It's 328 00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:53,160 Speaker 1: just sitting down and thinking about it. And you know, 329 00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:56,400 Speaker 1: I I often, you know, I kind of laugh a 330 00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:57,760 Speaker 1: little bit. I have to tell you the truth, just 331 00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:00,280 Speaker 1: you and me, as we're sitting here talking and people 332 00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:03,240 Speaker 1: will come in the shop and it's it's it's what 333 00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:06,440 Speaker 1: they want and what they think and how a diagnosis 334 00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:08,040 Speaker 1: should go and why do you have to do that? 335 00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:10,960 Speaker 1: And why do you have to do this? Because it's 336 00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:13,240 Speaker 1: the way the car was built, and it's it's the 337 00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:15,080 Speaker 1: way we have to approach. And it doesn't matter what 338 00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:16,640 Speaker 1: you want. I want to be eighteen again. I don't 339 00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:20,640 Speaker 1: think it's happening in this lifetime. We had a Chevy Cruise. 340 00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:22,159 Speaker 1: I'll tell you this story real quick. This week we 341 00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:23,800 Speaker 1: had to put a battery, and we put a battery 342 00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:25,880 Speaker 1: in it, and then we had to do a battery 343 00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:32,159 Speaker 1: module calibration. And following procedure a battery module calibration on 344 00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:34,120 Speaker 1: this generation cruise, you have to let the vehicle sit 345 00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:37,439 Speaker 1: for three hours with no parasitic drow with nothing engaged, 346 00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:42,000 Speaker 1: nothing activated, and allow the vehicle to calibrate itself so 347 00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:46,720 Speaker 1: that it's it's it's ready to properly work. In terms 348 00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:49,199 Speaker 1: of the battery is calibrated to the computer. The computer 349 00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:51,480 Speaker 1: can see the charge rate and the rest rate of 350 00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:55,679 Speaker 1: the battery and then properly allow itself to work with 351 00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:59,720 Speaker 1: the charging system. What does the future hold? What batteries 352 00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:01,679 Speaker 1: are going now? I'm gonna take three or four hours 353 00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:05,199 Speaker 1: to replace if it continues at this insanity continues. Are 354 00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:06,480 Speaker 1: people are gonna sit there and tell me all I 355 00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:08,320 Speaker 1: don't want to let you keep the car for three hours. 356 00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:10,560 Speaker 1: It doesn't matter what you want. This is what the 357 00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:13,280 Speaker 1: diagnosis is. This is how we have to go about it. So, um, 358 00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:15,840 Speaker 1: just just interesting stuff. I learned every week to report 359 00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:18,240 Speaker 1: back here to you up on radio. I'm runing any 360 00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:19,919 Speaker 1: in the car doctor, I'll be back right after this. 361 00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:45,800 Speaker 1: Don't go way. Welcome back in the car. Doctor. Let's 362 00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:47,840 Speaker 1: go over to Joe in Connecticut. Joe, welcome, sir. How 363 00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:54,240 Speaker 1: can I help good? I'm great man. How are you good? Good? Ryan? 364 00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:58,199 Speaker 1: I had this uh portable power pack let's call it 365 00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:02,800 Speaker 1: die hard and died easy, you know. So what I'm 366 00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:07,439 Speaker 1: looking for is a nice handheld uh jump starter you 367 00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:13,040 Speaker 1: know battery there I remember maybe I think it was 368 00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:17,119 Speaker 1: last winter around that time you were mentioning that you 369 00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:20,280 Speaker 1: had one that you started your truck with and you 370 00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:24,480 Speaker 1: gave one to your daughter whatever, and very reliable. Yeah, 371 00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:27,920 Speaker 1: you could remember the name microstart um from anti from 372 00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:30,439 Speaker 1: anti gravity batteries. But there's a couple of rules all 373 00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:32,719 Speaker 1: right before I before I turn you onto this, all right, 374 00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:36,200 Speaker 1: because it's it's specific stuff. Um, it's it's interesting, Joe. 375 00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:39,120 Speaker 1: You know, batteries have changed so much. If you want 376 00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:41,320 Speaker 1: to get in, you know, an expose into what batteries 377 00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:43,800 Speaker 1: have become, go out on web, go out to clarios 378 00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:46,400 Speaker 1: dot com and look under the products list and look 379 00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:49,479 Speaker 1: at all the different types of batteries or are resorbing glass, 380 00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:52,920 Speaker 1: matt flooded, low voltage for all the different variety of vehicles. 381 00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:55,800 Speaker 1: You know, start stop technology vehicle is a different kind 382 00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:58,600 Speaker 1: of battery than a traditional flooded battery than a traditional 383 00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:00,879 Speaker 1: low voltage battery. And you've got to have the right 384 00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:03,800 Speaker 1: battery pack that meet you know, battery jump pack that 385 00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:06,000 Speaker 1: meets all the needs. One of the one of the 386 00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:08,960 Speaker 1: really great things about the micro start kid from Anti 387 00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:12,480 Speaker 1: gravity Batteries is they were they were one of the first, 388 00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:15,320 Speaker 1: if not the first, I remember from six years ago. 389 00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:19,399 Speaker 1: They were rated number one safe by the Vehicle Manufacturers GM, 390 00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:24,000 Speaker 1: specifically that hooking up and using their box wouldn't hurt 391 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:27,239 Speaker 1: a module on the vehicle. And and that's important, right. 392 00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:29,760 Speaker 1: Everybody wants to hook up these big massive jump boxes 393 00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:34,480 Speaker 1: with no suppression technician technology, and you know they wonder 394 00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:36,439 Speaker 1: why after the fact they get a warning light and 395 00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:40,800 Speaker 1: possibly damaging something electronic on the car because the box itself, 396 00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:43,160 Speaker 1: well it was cheaper, but I could afford it. And 397 00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:46,359 Speaker 1: you know, you're you're basically jump starting a computer today. 398 00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:49,399 Speaker 1: If you get what I'm saying, you know um, and 399 00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:52,520 Speaker 1: it's it's just very very important. There's another caveat before 400 00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:54,240 Speaker 1: I let you go out and get an anti gravity 401 00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:57,440 Speaker 1: from our micro star from anti gravity. You ready, Joe? 402 00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:02,080 Speaker 1: You ever see the movie Cannonball Run. Remember Dom DeLuise 403 00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:05,960 Speaker 1: when he put up, when he put on the cape, right, 404 00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:07,560 Speaker 1: what are you? What are he always saying? Right, he 405 00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:09,239 Speaker 1: always put on the cape and at dunt dunt du 406 00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:10,959 Speaker 1: Can you can you do that joke? Can you give 407 00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:14,800 Speaker 1: us that line? Can you say that? Come on, come on, Joe, 408 00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:18,480 Speaker 1: just once you sure you dunt dunt duh? Because when 409 00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:21,280 Speaker 1: you pull this, when you pull the micro start, jump 410 00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:24,440 Speaker 1: back the XP ten out of your bag, you're gonna 411 00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:26,560 Speaker 1: sit there and go dunt dunt dun, and everybody's gonna 412 00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:29,040 Speaker 1: look at you and go, my hero, look at this, right, 413 00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:31,439 Speaker 1: he saved the day. And people are gonna look at 414 00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:35,199 Speaker 1: this little tiny brick and they're gonna go, come on, 415 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:37,359 Speaker 1: you're not gonna start my car with this are you really? 416 00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:40,800 Speaker 1: And it just it just leaves people dumbfound that it's 417 00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:42,800 Speaker 1: the neatest thing in the world. I have a little 418 00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:44,960 Speaker 1: my kids call it my man purse. I have a 419 00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:47,040 Speaker 1: little go bag. It's got my XP ten in it. 420 00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:49,120 Speaker 1: It's got a Swiss army knife. It's got three rolls 421 00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:51,920 Speaker 1: of electrical tape, roll of duct tape, some bobby pins. 422 00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:54,520 Speaker 1: It's my emergency on the road, fix anything bag. And 423 00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:56,600 Speaker 1: when I pull the XP ten out, if one of 424 00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:58,760 Speaker 1: my kids is standing there, they go, don't dunt duh. 425 00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:01,359 Speaker 1: It's like a family joke because they know it's, you know, 426 00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:04,760 Speaker 1: here's dad to the rescue. But it's it works really well. 427 00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:06,880 Speaker 1: And yeah, my one of my kids back to say, 428 00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:08,600 Speaker 1: two of my kids now have them, and the third 429 00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:10,800 Speaker 1: one's gonna get one of Christmas. I don't tell anybody. 430 00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:15,320 Speaker 1: And uh, is the XP ten the mile that we 431 00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:17,960 Speaker 1: should be looking for? I like the XP ten um 432 00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:20,320 Speaker 1: that's the one I have. I think there's one above 433 00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:24,040 Speaker 1: it that does even bigger vehicles. But I can jump 434 00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:27,200 Speaker 1: start everything up to a seven point three leader for 435 00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:30,080 Speaker 1: diesel trucks, So you know I'm not jump starting. Yeah, 436 00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:33,119 Speaker 1: I'm not jump starting any eighteen wheelers this week. Uh, 437 00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:34,639 Speaker 1: you know, much as I would like to, I'm not 438 00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:37,280 Speaker 1: because the other thing is it's a bigger it's a 439 00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:39,760 Speaker 1: little bit of a bigger box. And I literally have 440 00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:43,760 Speaker 1: it in. Oh Joe, it's it's really in. I really 441 00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:45,399 Speaker 1: have a man bag. I call it. I made up 442 00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:47,520 Speaker 1: an emergency road bag. I carry it with me all 443 00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:50,639 Speaker 1: the time. Uh you know, it's it's literally a bag 444 00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:55,119 Speaker 1: that's twelve by fourteen. It's like a small woman's person, 445 00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:57,960 Speaker 1: you know what. I've got everything in it and I'm 446 00:22:58,000 --> 00:22:59,760 Speaker 1: never without anything on the road, and i know what 447 00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:01,760 Speaker 1: i have to grab when I got flashlights in there, 448 00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:04,680 Speaker 1: I've got you know, it's my emergency bag. And that's 449 00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:07,920 Speaker 1: what you're kind of prepping for, you know. Um, you 450 00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:12,000 Speaker 1: know I have four cards, so two of them have 451 00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:15,520 Speaker 1: a g M batteries the other to our regular flooded 452 00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:19,360 Speaker 1: batteries a M. Yes, I believe it is. And that's 453 00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:21,560 Speaker 1: a that's a great question that I think. If you 454 00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:25,199 Speaker 1: go out online to Anti Gravity Batteries dot com, you 455 00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:27,159 Speaker 1: can you can ask that question and they'll give you 456 00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:30,800 Speaker 1: an answer. I've jumped started everything with it, and I've 457 00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:33,720 Speaker 1: never had a problem. I've never actually thought of that question. 458 00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:36,359 Speaker 1: But I've got to believe if they're selling it, it's 459 00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:38,520 Speaker 1: going to be rated for it, and I think that's 460 00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:41,320 Speaker 1: an absolute consideration. So do that. I'll tell you what 461 00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:43,399 Speaker 1: I'm gonna make you, the reporter. Go out to Anti 462 00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:46,439 Speaker 1: Gravity Batteries dot com. You call them, asked them, and 463 00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:47,960 Speaker 1: you call me back next week. Let me know what 464 00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:49,960 Speaker 1: the answer is and we'll be looking for that information. 465 00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:54,239 Speaker 1: How's that for an answer?

Um what's going 479 00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:38,320 Speaker 1: on down there Virginia Way. Thanks for playing along. I 480 00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:42,880 Speaker 1: gotta seven uhs to fifty diesel truck and uh I've 481 00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:45,760 Speaker 1: had multiple mechanics look at it, even dealership. I'm a 482 00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:47,640 Speaker 1: good friend of mine, and we can't figure out what's wrong. 483 00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:51,119 Speaker 1: I can just be driving down the road and it 484 00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:54,120 Speaker 1: will just absolutely shut off, almost like the fuels cut 485 00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:56,719 Speaker 1: or I just cut it off with ignition. I can 486 00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:59,480 Speaker 1: put it in a neutral and it'll crank right back 487 00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:02,719 Speaker 1: up and keep going in or do this multiple times. 488 00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:05,560 Speaker 1: But every now and then when it does that, then 489 00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:07,919 Speaker 1: it it acts like it it wants to start, but 490 00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:11,720 Speaker 1: then almost like it's catching and dying. And that's very rare. 491 00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:16,720 Speaker 1: But I've it won't for a code. I've had the 492 00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:19,840 Speaker 1: thick um checked. We replaced. One of the things was 493 00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:22,760 Speaker 1: the I c P sensor. I'm not a mechanical guy, 494 00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:25,639 Speaker 1: but I've done everything I couldn't. Took it to multiple people, 495 00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:28,240 Speaker 1: and no one can figure out why it does that. 496 00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:29,760 Speaker 1: Like I said, I'll be driving on the road and 497 00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:33,720 Speaker 1: it'll just boom shut off. You've probably replaced the injection 498 00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:38,880 Speaker 1: pressure regulator or the injection pressure regulator sensor or pump. Yeah, 499 00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:42,360 Speaker 1: that's so, and we checked the thick um and it's 500 00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:45,480 Speaker 1: running it the proper What is it? Forget? How many 501 00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:51,919 Speaker 1: pressure to um? Anybody consider or think about the CAM sensor. 502 00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:57,119 Speaker 1: I haven't heard anyone to say that CAM sensors are common. 503 00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:00,800 Speaker 1: You know, no start a will stall wall drive and 504 00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:03,439 Speaker 1: it could have a bad camposition sensor. The problem is 505 00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:07,679 Speaker 1: unless you unless you catch it in the act, you 506 00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:10,240 Speaker 1: know it's it's it's a gas. How many miles are on? 507 00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:11,680 Speaker 1: I mean, this is an older truck. Have you ever 508 00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:14,040 Speaker 1: replaced it? You know? Is it is? This? Two thousand 509 00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:20,480 Speaker 1: miles and we're runn around with the original camps? Okay? Yeah? Enough? Um, 510 00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:22,600 Speaker 1: you don't own a scan tool? Do you? By chance? 511 00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:26,640 Speaker 1: Do you own a scan tool by chance? Or can 512 00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:29,080 Speaker 1: you borrow one from your body? My friend of mine actually, 513 00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:31,600 Speaker 1: who is a really good mechanic, I actually swapped trucks 514 00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:33,320 Speaker 1: with him and told him drive it for two weeks 515 00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:35,400 Speaker 1: like your daily driver, and hopefully we'll do it while 516 00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:37,119 Speaker 1: you're driving it. And of course it wouldn't do it. 517 00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:41,760 Speaker 1: Of course camp camp sensors are cheap. But if you 518 00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:45,159 Speaker 1: wanted to diagnose it UM on the basis of what 519 00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:48,199 Speaker 1: do you see before I'd love to see I'd be 520 00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:51,520 Speaker 1: looking at two things. I'd be looking at RPM signal, 521 00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:55,439 Speaker 1: all right, you know, does it ever lose RPM signal? 522 00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:59,920 Speaker 1: Kind of like it's it's it's lost UM input. Right, 523 00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:02,720 Speaker 1: the PCM loses input, it doesn't see because it doesn't 524 00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:05,280 Speaker 1: see RPM, and all of a sudden the truck shuts 525 00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:07,600 Speaker 1: off because it can't get a proper signal out of 526 00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:10,800 Speaker 1: the CAMP sensor, or does it see a change in 527 00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:13,359 Speaker 1: the I p R and the injection pressure regulator or 528 00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:16,600 Speaker 1: any of the sensors involved with that. Now you know, 529 00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:18,399 Speaker 1: I'm gonna mention it. I'm sure he's looked at it. 530 00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:21,280 Speaker 1: I'm sure everybody else has looked at it. Obviously, on 531 00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:23,560 Speaker 1: a diesel, you want to be concerned about oil level. 532 00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:25,200 Speaker 1: You want it at the full mark, you don't want 533 00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:27,920 Speaker 1: it low oil pressure can have effect and make these stall, 534 00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:30,520 Speaker 1: but I don't think that's the case from what you're 535 00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:33,520 Speaker 1: describing to me. I would be thinking about things that 536 00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:35,760 Speaker 1: make you know, what's gonna make it stall suddenly? Loss 537 00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:38,840 Speaker 1: of tax signal, fuel pressure readings that are gonna vary 538 00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:40,720 Speaker 1: from the I p R and then we can start 539 00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:43,720 Speaker 1: to talk about you know, maybe we've got um wiring 540 00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:46,080 Speaker 1: harness issues on an older truck. But why don't you 541 00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:47,560 Speaker 1: get why don't you do this? Give it back to 542 00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:49,679 Speaker 1: your buddy, let him drive it, have it, tell them 543 00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:52,399 Speaker 1: to have a scan tool hooked up and just you know, 544 00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:54,960 Speaker 1: either that or let's just put a camp sensor in it. 545 00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:57,639 Speaker 1: They're cheap enough. I think I'll just do the cam sensor, 546 00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:02,080 Speaker 1: you know, but once Yeah, it's just but but but 547 00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:06,040 Speaker 1: but big butt here all right, make sure it's an 548 00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:09,640 Speaker 1: original equipment part, all right, right out of ford? Alright, yeah, 549 00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:13,359 Speaker 1: nothing nothing wants Yeah, let's let's you know, let's just 550 00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:15,399 Speaker 1: make sure what we're getting there is the is the 551 00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:18,480 Speaker 1: good better, be better, best best part for it? And 552 00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:20,640 Speaker 1: then you know, two bad ones in a row. Yeah 553 00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:22,280 Speaker 1: I don't think so, And then we can look somewhere else. 554 00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:23,840 Speaker 1: Do that. Call me back and I'll be glad to 555 00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:27,040 Speaker 1: help you as we've got to go through this, all right, kiddo. Also, 556 00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:28,800 Speaker 1: I appreciate it. Thank you, You're very welcome. You take 557 00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:32,640 Speaker 1: good care, zero running any of the car doctor. We're 558 00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:43,400 Speaker 1: back right after this. Welcome back the car doctorists go 559 00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:45,880 Speaker 1: over to Lance in New York some questions about eighteen 560 00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:48,200 Speaker 1: Toyota Corolla. Lance, Welcome to the car doctor. How can 561 00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:51,320 Speaker 1: I help? Hey, thanks for taking my call. You're welcome 562 00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:58,320 Speaker 1: two Toyota Corolla. And it's got approximately on it. Uh, 563 00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:01,040 Speaker 1: when is the best time to service transmission on it? 564 00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:03,400 Speaker 1: It depends what trans is in their lands? All right, 565 00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:07,560 Speaker 1: this is an automatic? Is it a CVT or a 566 00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:13,680 Speaker 1: regular automatic? Yeah? And the jury is still out. You know, 567 00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:17,200 Speaker 1: most of the vehicle manufacturers don't call for c VT 568 00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:21,160 Speaker 1: fluid to be changed, and Toyota's foray into c VT 569 00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:23,560 Speaker 1: is fairly new. It's something they put it in over 570 00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:26,560 Speaker 1: the course of the last previous three or four model years. 571 00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:30,400 Speaker 1: I I don't recall seeing one myself personally prior to fifteen, 572 00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:33,640 Speaker 1: so I they're fairly new in the marketplace for them 573 00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:37,120 Speaker 1: that I've seen my experience, what I see in the shop. Um, 574 00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:40,920 Speaker 1: most manufacturers call for fluid level changes, not untill well 575 00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:43,400 Speaker 1: over a hundred thousand miles. But then at that point 576 00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:45,640 Speaker 1: a lot of the c VT seem to have their issues, 577 00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:48,040 Speaker 1: and I think the failure rate. If I were to 578 00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:51,120 Speaker 1: make an educated guests, I think you're gonna see more 579 00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:55,040 Speaker 1: CVT failure rates are replacements between the one and one 580 00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:58,560 Speaker 1: fifty mileage mark. If it were mine and I was 581 00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:02,200 Speaker 1: driving it, I would change flew it around the sixty mark. Um, 582 00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:05,680 Speaker 1: it might be overkill. I'd rather I'd rather be overkill 583 00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:07,640 Speaker 1: than I have to go through the pain of a 584 00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:12,000 Speaker 1: CVT replacement as far as expense is concerned. But clearly 585 00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:15,800 Speaker 1: not ready for you at thirty. Does that make sense? No, 586 00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:23,560 Speaker 1: it does. I wasn't sure. Thirty Yeah, sixty sixty seems 587 00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:25,920 Speaker 1: like a good number for a lot of things. At thirty. 588 00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:28,240 Speaker 1: What I would be doing to that card thirty is 589 00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:31,080 Speaker 1: i'd obviously i'd be rotating the tires. And you know, 590 00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:33,479 Speaker 1: I'm a looker. I you know, the car has been 591 00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:35,280 Speaker 1: out on the road to two and a half years now, 592 00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:37,400 Speaker 1: however long you've had it, and a lot of things 593 00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:39,240 Speaker 1: can happen on the road. You know, it's it's you 594 00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:40,880 Speaker 1: can buy a new car and pick a nail up 595 00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:43,680 Speaker 1: in the in a tire the next day, So new 596 00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:46,000 Speaker 1: or new word doesn't mean anything to me. It's still 597 00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:49,560 Speaker 1: out in the environment. At thirty thousand miles, I'd rotate tires, 598 00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:53,240 Speaker 1: cabin and air filters, a bottle of fuel system cleaner 599 00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:56,360 Speaker 1: in the tank. I would consider doing a carbon cleaning, 600 00:30:56,960 --> 00:30:59,360 Speaker 1: all right, or for whatever little bit is there, just 601 00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:03,480 Speaker 1: to clean it up. And I've done every everything you've 602 00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:05,840 Speaker 1: mentioned so far has been done good. And then you're done. 603 00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:08,600 Speaker 1: You know, it's you know, maybe wiper blades you're going 604 00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:11,440 Speaker 1: into winter. H The original blades are now two years old. 605 00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:16,520 Speaker 1: Um good? Um. Yeah. My dad was a mechanic and 606 00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:19,520 Speaker 1: he taught me well. But yeah, and some of the 607 00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:22,280 Speaker 1: things that you know, us mechanics are teaching our kids 608 00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:27,240 Speaker 1: is clearly changing. There's an evolution. I just don't want 609 00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:30,040 Speaker 1: a fluid to go right to the limit. You know, 610 00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:32,400 Speaker 1: I take a look at break fluid. Maybe I change 611 00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:35,120 Speaker 1: break fluid. Maybe at thirty it's a little early. Uh. 612 00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:37,560 Speaker 1: You know, I'm of the mind that if I exercise 613 00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:39,120 Speaker 1: a little bit more now, I'll have to pay a 614 00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:42,640 Speaker 1: whole lot less later. You know. It kind of boggles 615 00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:45,520 Speaker 1: my mind how some of the manufacturers are saying, don't 616 00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:48,840 Speaker 1: change trans fluid. And you know, the vehicle gets a 617 00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:51,680 Speaker 1: hundred and thirty thousand miles on and the trans fails. 618 00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:54,920 Speaker 1: You know what, most people won't replace the trans, they'll 619 00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:57,880 Speaker 1: replace the vehicle. So I understand the marketing. So um, 620 00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:01,360 Speaker 1: kudos kudos to you Lance. You're thinking right and uh 621 00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:03,600 Speaker 1: you know, I think staying along those lines will be 622 00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:06,640 Speaker 1: just fine. All right, kiddo, Thank you very much. You're 623 00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:08,640 Speaker 1: very welcome. You have a good rest of the day. 624 00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:12,320 Speaker 1: Zero running Needing the Car Doctor coming back to wrap 625 00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:24,040 Speaker 1: it up right after this, Welcome back, ron Needing the 626 00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:27,320 Speaker 1: Car Doctor. Kathy writes. And Cathy just wrote into us 627 00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:30,240 Speaker 1: on an email saying that she had called anti gravity 628 00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:32,520 Speaker 1: batteries her son wants. She wanted to get her son 629 00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:35,280 Speaker 1: one for his jeep and she asked that very question 630 00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:38,640 Speaker 1: about a g M batteries and they said, yes, anti 631 00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:42,520 Speaker 1: gravity batteries. Uh micro start. The XP ten is rated 632 00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:45,480 Speaker 1: for absorbing glass matt batteries. So the answer to that 633 00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:47,920 Speaker 1: question is yes. We'll see what answer our are our 634 00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:49,920 Speaker 1: detective gets too, but I'm sure it'll be the same. 635 00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:52,680 Speaker 1: So good to know. Thanks Kathy, We appreciate it. Um. 636 00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:55,360 Speaker 1: The short track fix of the week this week from 637 00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:57,640 Speaker 1: the folks over at mitchell one mitchell one dot com 638 00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:01,120 Speaker 1: talks about and the hunt for a leak and it's 639 00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:05,080 Speaker 1: a case of a refrigerant leak on a Toyota Prius. 640 00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:07,520 Speaker 1: That took several repair attempts. And I don't want to 641 00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:10,080 Speaker 1: say attempts. I don't like that word I want to take. 642 00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:13,040 Speaker 1: I want to say that the repair, the diagnosis took 643 00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:16,760 Speaker 1: several times in because sometimes it's a process. They had 644 00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:19,200 Speaker 1: added refrigerant to a system that was low, as the 645 00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:22,080 Speaker 1: article points out, as the conversation points out on the 646 00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:25,120 Speaker 1: shirt track fix and they talk about how they added 647 00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:27,400 Speaker 1: die to it, and we've done this in the shop 648 00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:30,959 Speaker 1: ourselves really had died to a refrigerant system. Find no leaks, 649 00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:33,640 Speaker 1: send the car out, have the customer come back in 650 00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:35,720 Speaker 1: thirty days. Yeah, I know you want to get it 651 00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:38,840 Speaker 1: fixed one to three. Everybody wants instant gratification in this world, 652 00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:40,800 Speaker 1: but it doesn't work like that in order repair in 653 00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:44,080 Speaker 1: some cases. And this particular Toyota Prius came back in 654 00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:47,360 Speaker 1: and it was low on charge again. Well, they started 655 00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:50,000 Speaker 1: talking about it amongst the community. The folks over at 656 00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:53,480 Speaker 1: mitchell one mitchell one dot com have a community blog 657 00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:55,720 Speaker 1: set up where mechanics can sit and chat and talk 658 00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:57,760 Speaker 1: about Hey have you seen this? Have you seen that? 659 00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:01,880 Speaker 1: And one of the conversations was to look forward die 660 00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:04,680 Speaker 1: either on the drain tube or to pull the blower 661 00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:06,360 Speaker 1: and look around and see if could you see it 662 00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:10,560 Speaker 1: inside the case, they saw a refrigerant die, the actual die, 663 00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:12,920 Speaker 1: the fluorescent die that they had added to the cooling 664 00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:15,719 Speaker 1: system on the drain tube when the water drained out 665 00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:18,879 Speaker 1: easy enough, right went up there, looked at it, saw 666 00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:21,680 Speaker 1: die on the frame rail or the subframe where it 667 00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:23,960 Speaker 1: was coming down and coming down out of the tube itself. 668 00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:26,040 Speaker 1: And I've actually had it where if if you let 669 00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:29,120 Speaker 1: the car puddle, if you let the vehicle run long enough, 670 00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:32,600 Speaker 1: you will see the water underneath the car and turn 671 00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:35,239 Speaker 1: off the lights in the shop. The water itself will 672 00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:38,080 Speaker 1: have fluorescent dye in it, or when it dries the 673 00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:40,680 Speaker 1: next morning, it's got fluorescent dye in it. But in 674 00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:43,040 Speaker 1: any event, however you do it. The point of this 675 00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:46,440 Speaker 1: is sometimes it takes more than one attempt. Sometimes asking 676 00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:49,279 Speaker 1: for instant gratification on a repair doesn't work. And as 677 00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:52,200 Speaker 1: the folks on this shirt track fix from Mitchell One 678 00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:56,840 Speaker 1: point out that yes, there was fluorescent material in the water, 679 00:34:57,320 --> 00:34:59,719 Speaker 1: proved that the evaporator was bad. The piece under the 680 00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:02,919 Speaker 1: day word it's so hard to say. And they were 681 00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:04,799 Speaker 1: very confident in their repair that they were able to 682 00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:07,479 Speaker 1: tell the customer, hey, put an evaporator in it. Vehicle 683 00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:10,080 Speaker 1: be fixed. It was they did. Down the road next 684 00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:12,799 Speaker 1: and once again.
