Therapy is sort of at the 23 00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:14,080 Speaker 1: top of my mind today. It was a it was 24 00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:17,160 Speaker 1: it was a therapeutic kind of a week. Definitely a 25 00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:20,399 Speaker 1: full moon week. Definitely some weird things going on, but 26 00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:24,840 Speaker 1: you could tell by the anxiety of everybody coming in 27 00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:28,160 Speaker 1: the shop, and there were certain things that just set 28 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:30,280 Speaker 1: the tone and sort of set the pace and calm 29 00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:34,080 Speaker 1: things down. I was working on old cars this week. 30 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:38,080 Speaker 1: I'm not that old, but old enough. I'm eighty nine 31 00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:42,479 Speaker 1: Chevy Caprice. Gosh, what a great car, right, the one 32 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:46,240 Speaker 1: of the original you know, four door square bodies. And 33 00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 1: it had a you know, small block Chevy in at 34 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:50,800 Speaker 1: a three h five and it needed a water pump. 35 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 1: And I know this sounds boring, like there's really you know, 36 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,080 Speaker 1: what's sexy about doing a water pump on a small 37 00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:59,520 Speaker 1: block Chevy. God, They've been done a million times, but 38 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:03,680 Speaker 1: there is something kind of calming and sexy and interesting 39 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:08,600 Speaker 1: and history about doing that repair. There really is. You know, 40 00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:10,359 Speaker 1: a lot of guys don't like working on old cars. 41 00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:13,040 Speaker 1: I hear it all the time. My friend Jeff had 42 00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:17,200 Speaker 1: a transmission problem with his eighty six Chevy Suburban twenty 43 00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:20,359 Speaker 1: five hundred Suburban and it needed a Something went wrong 44 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:22,960 Speaker 1: with the transmission and it needed some repair, and he 45 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,600 Speaker 1: took it to one of the local trans builders and 46 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:29,960 Speaker 1: he can't figure out the problems. He's racking his brain 47 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 1: and scratching his hair out trying to, you know, what's 48 00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:35,280 Speaker 1: wrong with this transmission. And the last time Jeff stopped 49 00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:37,919 Speaker 1: by to see it, he was yelling and carrying on about, 50 00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,480 Speaker 1: you know, old cars are terrible and some other four 51 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 1: letter not so kind words. And I listened to Jeff 52 00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,359 Speaker 1: tell the story, and I thought to myself, but wait 53 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:50,079 Speaker 1: a minute, wasn't that the good old days. Isn't that 54 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:53,400 Speaker 1: where we all want to be working on the older stuff? 55 00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:53,919 Speaker 4: Isn't that? 56 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:54,600 Speaker 2: You know? 57 00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,400 Speaker 1: I mean, I realized then. We used to say I 58 00:02:57,440 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 1: want to work on the good old days of cars 59 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,399 Speaker 1: from the sixties. But in the eighties we were kind 60 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,960 Speaker 1: of happy working on cars. It wasn't that terrible. I 61 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,720 Speaker 1: don't remember the problems like we have today. The technology 62 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 1: that we have today clearly wasn't there. You know, the 63 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,840 Speaker 1: computerization was just getting started. It was it was in 64 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 1: its infancy, much like you know technology of ev vehicles 65 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:20,800 Speaker 1: today twenty years from now be a different story. And 66 00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 1: you know, it made me think about the Caprice because 67 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,080 Speaker 1: as I'm leaning on the fender of the caprice getting 68 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 1: ready to do the water pump. I'm hearing Jeff talk 69 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:28,760 Speaker 1: about the transmission that the guy didn't want to fix 70 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:30,679 Speaker 1: on an eighty six suburban. That was you know, it 71 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:32,840 Speaker 1: was a turbohydromatic. It was a turbo four hundred, It 72 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:34,840 Speaker 1: was a three speed trends with a torque converter. Like 73 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:38,240 Speaker 1: you know, this is like working on a bicycle. You know, 74 00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 1: there's not much here in comparison to today's cars. Old cars 75 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 1: have an elegance to them, they do. I think you 76 00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 1: have to approach it right. You know. Yeah, there's going 77 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:50,280 Speaker 1: to be a problem with parts, and there's going to 78 00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:53,560 Speaker 1: be a problem with you know, you know, diagnosing it 79 00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:55,840 Speaker 1: and trying to remember, and that's you know, that's the 80 00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,280 Speaker 1: biggest I think the insult that we have to look 81 00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 1: at as older mechanics, and I think that everyone has 82 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:03,960 Speaker 1: to realize that this is technology that we know about. 83 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:07,600 Speaker 1: We understand this technology. It's forty years old now, from 84 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:11,720 Speaker 1: the eighties. This water pump was no exception. Danny was 85 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:13,160 Speaker 1: kidding me. He said, you're going to do that with 86 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 1: your eyes closed. I said, I will if you want 87 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,800 Speaker 1: me to. You know, we even started kidding around, like 88 00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 1: I lined up all my sockets and wrenches, and you know, 89 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,400 Speaker 1: and and I could have done it blindfolded, because you've 90 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:27,320 Speaker 1: done that job a thousand times. It's you know, five 91 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,719 Speaker 1: sixteens nuts on the fan clutch. It's ten millimeter bolt 92 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:32,719 Speaker 1: on the fan shroud. The fan shroud comes off, the 93 00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 1: fan clutch comes off. This had a serp belt on it. 94 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,000 Speaker 1: You take the fifteen millimeters wrench, you loosen the serp 95 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,440 Speaker 1: belt tension or you slide it off. Off comes the 96 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 1: belt under the pre load. You go to the there's 97 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,479 Speaker 1: four fourteen millimeter bolts holding the water pump on. You 98 00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:46,279 Speaker 1: got to take off the eight millimeter clamp down at 99 00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:48,920 Speaker 1: the bottom radiator hose. Pop the hose off, drain the system, 100 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:53,880 Speaker 1: pop the water pump, and you're out. You're done. You know, 101 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:55,719 Speaker 1: I could have done it with my eyes closed, but 102 00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,080 Speaker 1: I don't want to teach Danny you're working on cars 103 00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 1: blindfolded is a good thing either. But you know, there 104 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:06,880 Speaker 1: was a there was a moment there. I really enjoyed 105 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,880 Speaker 1: that job. I really did. There was just something so 106 00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 1: neat about it, and I probably was thinking back to 107 00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:16,360 Speaker 1: when I was a kid. I think a small block 108 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:19,159 Speaker 1: Chevy water pump was the very first major thing I 109 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:23,640 Speaker 1: ever did, and right away. My old boss was gone 110 00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,600 Speaker 1: many years now. You know, I could hear him whispering 111 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:28,200 Speaker 1: in my ear what to do and how to do it. 112 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 1: You know, that conversation you have when you have a 113 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 1: mentor leaning over you and you know, telling you, hey, 114 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:35,080 Speaker 1: this goes here and that goes there, and what to 115 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:37,680 Speaker 1: do and how to do it. There's a lot of 116 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,960 Speaker 1: history in old cars, an awful lot. You know. You 117 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:42,480 Speaker 1: just have to be there. You have to be there 118 00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:46,120 Speaker 1: to catch it and watch it and see it. You know. 119 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,720 Speaker 1: Originally those fourteen millimeters bolt heads on a Chevy water pump, 120 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 1: that small block Chevy were nine sixteens. But somewhere around 121 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:57,599 Speaker 1: the early eighties, GM went to corporate engines and metric systems, 122 00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:01,600 Speaker 1: and the cars became half metric, half standard, and then 123 00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:05,120 Speaker 1: eventually they became all metric. Although every once in a while, 124 00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:08,800 Speaker 1: it's funny, right, every once in a while you find 125 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,320 Speaker 1: a bolt somewhere that nothing fits, and you're looking at it, going, 126 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,400 Speaker 1: it's got to be fourteen millimeters, it's got to be 127 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:16,760 Speaker 1: you know, a thirteen millimeter, and you know, and all 128 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:18,680 Speaker 1: of a sudden that nine to sixteenths are half insurance 129 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,000 Speaker 1: just kind of pops on a whole lot nicer. And yeah, 130 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,520 Speaker 1: I know everybody's gonna say fourteen millimeter and thirteen millimeters 131 00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 1: are the same as nine sixteenths and a half inch, 132 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:28,800 Speaker 1: but it's not. It's a smidge off, and it just 133 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:33,480 Speaker 1: just makes you remember, you know, I'll take old cars. 134 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:35,360 Speaker 1: I'll take new cars, I don't care, but I'll take 135 00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:37,640 Speaker 1: old cars because of the history, because of the elegance 136 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:39,839 Speaker 1: of working on them, because of the memories, because you 137 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,520 Speaker 1: think back to the people that you worked with. It's 138 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:45,440 Speaker 1: like a walk down memory lane. It's a history lessons, 139 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:47,520 Speaker 1: it's where we came from to get here, to go there, 140 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:51,720 Speaker 1: to be this, and that's important. Cars aren't going to 141 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 1: get any easier to work on in the future. They're 142 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:56,920 Speaker 1: really not. I don't see them bringing back carburetors in 143 00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:00,520 Speaker 1: points anytime soon. But I think you've got to revel 144 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:02,440 Speaker 1: in it. I think you've got to really look forward 145 00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:05,000 Speaker 1: to it and understand it, and you know, you've got 146 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,880 Speaker 1: to realize that it's changed and it has changed. We 147 00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:09,680 Speaker 1: talk about that in the shop all the time. All 148 00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:13,040 Speaker 1: the jobs we no longer do just the little things, 149 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:15,080 Speaker 1: all the tools that we have in excess of that, 150 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:19,600 Speaker 1: there's no need to have anymore, and there's less mechanical things. 151 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:22,960 Speaker 1: There's so much more less mechanical things now. And I 152 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:25,480 Speaker 1: think it's a regional problem. I think you go around 153 00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:28,800 Speaker 1: the country and I think you know from a graph, Alaska, 154 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 1: there's going to be a totally different set of repairs 155 00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:35,800 Speaker 1: that you're going to do versus Austin, Texas, versus Miami, Florida, 156 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:39,960 Speaker 1: versus you know, Tilton, New Hampshire. All places the car 157 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:44,680 Speaker 1: doctor is by the way, and you know, it's it's 158 00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:48,840 Speaker 1: interesting to see and hear and talk to people about 159 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:52,840 Speaker 1: their problems in those particular places, because that's what makes 160 00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:56,720 Speaker 1: fixing cars interesting. I don't think old cars are bad. 161 00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:58,280 Speaker 1: I don't think old cars are a problem. I don't 162 00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:00,600 Speaker 1: think new cars are a problem. I think every problem 163 00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:03,600 Speaker 1: has its own solution, and you got to take the 164 00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:05,960 Speaker 1: opportunity and you got to take the time to, you know, 165 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:10,920 Speaker 1: deal with it. Technology is going to march on sooner 166 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:12,960 Speaker 1: or later. They're going to change things like they changed 167 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,600 Speaker 1: those those nine to sixteen's headbolts on that water pump, 168 00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,840 Speaker 1: the fourteen millimeters and so on. It's just gonna be different. 169 00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:21,440 Speaker 1: It was kind of interesting to see though, that after 170 00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:25,200 Speaker 1: all this time, for some reason ac Delco because I 171 00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:27,480 Speaker 1: did find an original Delco pump for the car. Don't 172 00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:30,000 Speaker 1: ask me how they still don't paint the water pumps. 173 00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:32,319 Speaker 1: I don't understand that. I just just a minute to 174 00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:36,240 Speaker 1: rant if I can. It would take them thirty seconds 175 00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:38,600 Speaker 1: to you know, paint the water pumps so it doesn't 176 00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:40,600 Speaker 1: rust in two weeks and look like a complete piece 177 00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:43,640 Speaker 1: of junk. Naturally, I had to. I prep solved it 178 00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:45,520 Speaker 1: and hit it with a little heat paint and at 179 00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:47,480 Speaker 1: least it looks black to match the rest of the engine, 180 00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:50,640 Speaker 1: and it looks like something. So I just just I 181 00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:53,760 Speaker 1: don't know. Details count right, What does Jack Reacher always say? 182 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:57,880 Speaker 1: Details counting an investigation? Details counting and automobile repair. But 183 00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:01,360 Speaker 1: you know what, old car, Yes, we're gonna have him 184 00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:03,600 Speaker 1: for a while. Matter of fact, the cars of today 185 00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:05,959 Speaker 1: are going to be old cars tomorrow. So we're always 186 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:07,880 Speaker 1: gonna have old cars. And you got to just approach 187 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:10,199 Speaker 1: it differently. It's always gonna change. You got to be 188 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:12,880 Speaker 1: able to change with it.

It's 216 00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:22,760 Speaker 1: published by a group of authors. It comes to us 217 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,800 Speaker 1: from Motor Books. It's available on Amazon, Barnes Andnoble, and 218 00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:28,839 Speaker 1: Quarto dot Com. We thought we would give this away 219 00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,640 Speaker 1: in our last week before Father's Day, so maybe somebody 220 00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:33,839 Speaker 1: out there can win that and tell Dad we've got 221 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:35,960 Speaker 1: the greatest book in the world coming for you about NASCAR, 222 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:37,480 Speaker 1: because it is. I've seen it. I've opened it up. 223 00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:40,920 Speaker 1: It's got some really, really cool color pictures. It's the 224 00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:43,920 Speaker 1: history of NASCAR, the first seventy five years. And if 225 00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:46,560 Speaker 1: you're an officionado, you want this in your collection. So 226 00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:48,760 Speaker 1: this hour next, be nice to Tom.

I'm just 228 00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:53,360 Speaker 1: the car doctor, Ron and aian and I'll be back 229 00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:53,920 Speaker 1: right after this. 230 00:10:54,000 --> 00:11:07,520 Speaker 4: Don't go away. 231 00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:06,040 Speaker 1: For the best in car advice. 232 00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:08,840 Speaker 2: Give Ron a call eight five five five six zero 233 00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,880 Speaker 2: nine to nine zero zero. Now back to Ron. 234 00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:14,280 Speaker 1: Hey, let's go down in Philadelphia away and talk to 235 00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:17,760 Speaker 1: Philadelphia Brian who hear's talk about tractor trailers. Brian, welcome back, sir. 236 00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:18,480 Speaker 1: How are you today? 237 00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:20,960 Speaker 2: Hey Ron, how are you doing? 238 00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:22,679 Speaker 1: I'm great, I'm great, man. What's cooking? 239 00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:26,680 Speaker 2: Tragic trailers? I know you probably don't work on too many, 240 00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:28,920 Speaker 2: if any, but now they don't. 241 00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:30,679 Speaker 1: Exactly fit in the shop, which is a key thing. 242 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:32,120 Speaker 1: And if they could, if it fits in the door, 243 00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:34,280 Speaker 1: we'll work on it. But we can't seem to Well, 244 00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:35,960 Speaker 1: we could get it in, but only once because then 245 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:38,640 Speaker 1: the roof is crushed. But that's a whole other conversation, so. 246 00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:42,760 Speaker 2: Drop the trailer on that. Here's the thing when you 247 00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:46,000 Speaker 2: drive these things. For years, I learned on a ten speed. 248 00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,680 Speaker 2: You know, it's five low, five high. That's your standard thing. 249 00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:52,440 Speaker 2: Non synchronized transmission, which means you got to double clutch 250 00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:55,560 Speaker 2: or float the gears. There's something they've been using now. 251 00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:59,880 Speaker 2: It's called an automated manual transmission. Although we don't have 252 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:03,840 Speaker 2: clutch anymore, so it's pretty much it's a manual transmission, 253 00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:07,440 Speaker 2: but we don't do any shifting. It kind of shifts 254 00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:10,920 Speaker 2: itself here. It's supposed to be better for fuel. But 255 00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:13,880 Speaker 2: our mechanics don't like it. They said, it's been they'd 256 00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:17,520 Speaker 2: spent a lot, there's spent a lot of problems with it. 257 00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:22,160 Speaker 2: If these coming cars, I hope they don't. But is 258 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:24,240 Speaker 2: this something that they're going to make in cars too, 259 00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:27,120 Speaker 2: because this is something well, I don't know, this is 260 00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:28,200 Speaker 2: something that works me a little bit. 261 00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:31,640 Speaker 1: Three three thoughts. One, they did actually make something like 262 00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:33,120 Speaker 1: that in cars. And wait till I tell you the 263 00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:36,600 Speaker 1: car that it was in, all right, seventy one Volkswagen 264 00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:39,920 Speaker 1: Beetle with an electric shift. Oh boy, oh boy, So 265 00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:42,640 Speaker 1: I remember that. It was nothing more than an electric 266 00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:45,040 Speaker 1: solenoid that pushed in on a clutch that allowed the 267 00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:47,040 Speaker 1: trans to engage in. It was an electric shift. It 268 00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 1: was Volkswagen's first stab at automatic, or the first stab 269 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:52,720 Speaker 1: at automatic that I remember, But it was the early seventies. 270 00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:54,880 Speaker 1: But first one I saw was a seventy one If 271 00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:57,440 Speaker 1: I remember right, I could be off on the timeframe, 272 00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:59,160 Speaker 1: but yeah, and they were. It was kind of it 273 00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:00,720 Speaker 1: was kind of weird. It was a little brown wire 274 00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:04,040 Speaker 1: running down the tunnel, and boy, when that wire broke 275 00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:05,880 Speaker 1: and that car didn't shift and you were stuck, it 276 00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:09,400 Speaker 1: was like Holy Cow, just just not a fun time. 277 00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:11,840 Speaker 1: So that was number one, number two four did it recently? 278 00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:16,320 Speaker 1: I think I think it's their ds P six manual 279 00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:18,960 Speaker 1: trends in the Focus, the ones that came out around 280 00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:21,720 Speaker 1: thirteen fourteen. They're dual clutch trends as they call it, 281 00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:24,400 Speaker 1: that they've had nothing but problems with and you know, 282 00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:27,559 Speaker 1: still recalls going on to this day, still extended warranties 283 00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:30,240 Speaker 1: to this day, you know. But yeah, I think Ford 284 00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:32,000 Speaker 1: did some version of that. And do I think it's 285 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:33,720 Speaker 1: going to appear in cars. I think it already has. 286 00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:36,920 Speaker 1: I can tell you why they do it. They do 287 00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:41,080 Speaker 1: it because number one, they're trying to make everybody drive 288 00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:44,560 Speaker 1: the same. You can't. If the transmission is automatic and 289 00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:47,440 Speaker 1: it's it's running through the gears based on load and 290 00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:51,280 Speaker 1: condition and speed, it's going to shift much more consistently 291 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:54,800 Speaker 1: across the board. So if you put ten people with 292 00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:58,400 Speaker 1: obviously ten different driving habits or styles in them, then 293 00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:03,080 Speaker 1: you're going to have maybe a closer tolerance of you know, 294 00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:05,679 Speaker 1: how they shift, how they drun, how they drive, how 295 00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:08,640 Speaker 1: they make the vehicle operate. And it's less pollution because 296 00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:11,840 Speaker 1: it's all about emissions. It really is everything is about emissions. 297 00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:16,320 Speaker 1: Does it work? Does it make sense? You know, it's 298 00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:20,920 Speaker 1: for every attempt at increasing mechanical knowledge, the circumference grows bigger, 299 00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:24,200 Speaker 1: the diameter of problems increases with it, and you know, 300 00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:27,080 Speaker 1: it's just got to be embraced. It's it's you give that. 301 00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:29,080 Speaker 1: You give the engineers a couple of years. I'm sure 302 00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:31,840 Speaker 1: they'll figure and sort it out. But they're probably also 303 00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:34,120 Speaker 1: doing it from the perspective of if you don't have 304 00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:36,760 Speaker 1: to drive a stick and it's automatic, they can get 305 00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:40,400 Speaker 1: more people to drive big trucks, right, you. 306 00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:42,760 Speaker 2: Know, I think that's part of it with them. It's 307 00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:46,760 Speaker 2: really economic supposed to get better fuel economy. The guys 308 00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:49,680 Speaker 2: who don't know how to ship right, they destroy clutches, sure, 309 00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:52,360 Speaker 2: because you know with non synchronized you have to do 310 00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:54,360 Speaker 2: it right. You can grind and you know it takes 311 00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:56,880 Speaker 2: it takes a little bit of practice. But I think 312 00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:59,200 Speaker 2: with this it's fuel economy and it's also you know, 313 00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:01,800 Speaker 2: it's getting everything uniform. But most of us, I mean, 314 00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:04,400 Speaker 2: like I said, when you've been driving a ten, a 315 00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:07,240 Speaker 2: non synchronized ten for years, it just feels funny. Well, 316 00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:08,880 Speaker 2: it's nice not having to hit the clutch. 317 00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:11,240 Speaker 1: But and it's probably weird. You're probably still looking for 318 00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:14,000 Speaker 1: the clutch with your left foot right always. 319 00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:16,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, And I'm always looking for the stick. I'm always 320 00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:18,560 Speaker 2: I'm always looking to drop it into gear. But you know, 321 00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:20,160 Speaker 2: we're non synchronized. You know, it's a hold of the 322 00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:22,200 Speaker 2: ball game. Yeah, compare to synchronize. 323 00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:22,400 Speaker 5: You know. 324 00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:24,400 Speaker 1: It's like if I go out to eat, I'll go 325 00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:27,200 Speaker 1: to a business meeting, and sometimes I'm just I don't know, 326 00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:29,080 Speaker 1: I just you know, I rotate my vehicles arounds. Every 327 00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:31,000 Speaker 1: once in a while, I'll take the ninety seven Ranger 328 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:33,720 Speaker 1: with the five speed stick and I'll you know, I'll 329 00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:36,040 Speaker 1: forget that we're going out to eat at a nice steakhouse, 330 00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:39,240 Speaker 1: and you know, and I show up for val A 331 00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:42,360 Speaker 1: parking in this two hundred and twenty thousand mile you know, 332 00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:45,400 Speaker 1: the bumpers are on crooked. It definitely needs to be washed. 333 00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:47,200 Speaker 1: I mean, it's just, you know, I don't I don't 334 00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:49,720 Speaker 1: want the Ranger just has it has more character looking 335 00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:52,440 Speaker 1: like that, you know, it gives a charisma and personality. 336 00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:55,160 Speaker 1: And I'll pull up and you know, I'll get out 337 00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:56,960 Speaker 1: and the kid will look at it and he goes, oh, 338 00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:59,880 Speaker 1: I can't drive that? Why not? That's a stick? You know, 339 00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:01,320 Speaker 1: it just boggs the mind. 340 00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:04,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, they there is another disadvantage. If you take a 341 00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:09,000 Speaker 2: test in this, you'll you'll be restricted only to drive 342 00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:11,480 Speaker 2: an automatic or an automated manual. If you take a 343 00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:13,920 Speaker 2: test and you're you know, in the standard ten speed, 344 00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:17,120 Speaker 2: you can drive anything. So I always tell people, do 345 00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:19,160 Speaker 2: not take a test in this. Take a test in 346 00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:22,120 Speaker 2: a manual. Learn the manual. Are you are you learn 347 00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:22,720 Speaker 2: a ten speed? 348 00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:24,920 Speaker 1: Are you an over the road truck or Brian? Or 349 00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:26,720 Speaker 1: are you an around town. 350 00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:28,760 Speaker 2: Local? Around town? 351 00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:32,080 Speaker 1: Have you seen any electric vehicle trucks? Electric trucks? 352 00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:37,200 Speaker 2: No, some some people have ordered them. I've read about them. 353 00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:39,240 Speaker 2: I have not seen them yet, and I read that too. 354 00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:41,080 Speaker 1: It'll be interesting. 355 00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:45,880 Speaker 2: But Ups and Walmart supposedly put put an order in 356 00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:46,760 Speaker 2: for quite a few. 357 00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:50,600 Speaker 1: I wonder yet, I wonder what the cost factor is 358 00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:51,640 Speaker 1: and what the difference is. 359 00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:54,200 Speaker 2: You know what, I don't know. I've been driving I 360 00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:56,280 Speaker 2: think long enough. I don't you know if it takes 361 00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:58,520 Speaker 2: that long to charge these things, I don't see how 362 00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:01,240 Speaker 2: it's going to be any benefit, you know, and you know, 363 00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:03,160 Speaker 2: if you drive these long enough, you have people who 364 00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:05,080 Speaker 2: drive for a living. You know, we get very set 365 00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:07,399 Speaker 2: in our ways. You know, we don't like change. 366 00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:09,800 Speaker 1: Well, and I you know, it's I was watching a 367 00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:14,680 Speaker 1: movie the other day about Jimmy Hoffa, and it was funny. 368 00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:17,280 Speaker 1: They talked about Jimmy Haffa start of the Union, chanting 369 00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:20,080 Speaker 1: about everything that gets anywhere in America gets there by truck. 370 00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:21,640 Speaker 1: And you know what, he wasn't wrong then and they're 371 00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:23,960 Speaker 1: not wrong now, so they better take care of it. 372 00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:25,600 Speaker 1: They better take care of the truckers or we're going 373 00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:29,040 Speaker 1: to have we're gonna have issues. So well, we got to. 374 00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:32,520 Speaker 2: Keep it guy. I mean, well, the equibent vice, you know, 375 00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:35,680 Speaker 2: if air conditioning at tire windows, the seats, they're very comfortable. 376 00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:39,600 Speaker 2: But I just worry more about mechanical changes, because you know, 377 00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:41,800 Speaker 2: we are we we are trained to drive a certain 378 00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:45,240 Speaker 2: way and now you know it's they it's you know, 379 00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:47,520 Speaker 2: we're very set in our ways and we drive safely, 380 00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:49,960 Speaker 2: and it's just it's learning a whole. It's like relearning 381 00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:50,520 Speaker 2: how to drive. 382 00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:53,159 Speaker 1: Almost. I wonder if that vehicle, and I'll leave here 383 00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:55,760 Speaker 1: as the closing thought, I wonder if that vehicle handles 384 00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:58,840 Speaker 1: differently in bad weather or if they're making it. You know, 385 00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:01,639 Speaker 1: if you're in if you're in tough weather, does that 386 00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:05,679 Speaker 1: automatic transmission truck react better or worse the same? I 387 00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:08,919 Speaker 1: wonder if there's a difference, you know, I wonder if 388 00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:11,320 Speaker 1: that is, if it's just a different kind of a standard. 389 00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:13,320 Speaker 1: So I guess time will tell. Keep us updated, Brian. 390 00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:15,879 Speaker 1: I always enjoy talking to you. Stay safe down Philly 391 00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:18,440 Speaker 1: Way eight five five five six zero nine nine zero zero. 392 00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:20,360 Speaker 1: I'm ronnin Any and the Car Doctor.

Let's wander over too. Let's 399 00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:07,919 Speaker 1: go to Robin, Texas. Some questions about breaking in a 400 00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:10,840 Speaker 1: new engine. I'm twenty fourteen Dodge Ram Robert. Welcome to 401 00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:13,280 Speaker 1: the Card Doctor, sir, How can I help? Hey? 402 00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:17,680 Speaker 6: Thanks, Ron, You're welcome. My Ram has one hundred and 403 00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:22,680 Speaker 6: twenty seven thousand miles on it and developed for it 404 00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:24,480 Speaker 6: was called a handi pick, which I didn't know anything 405 00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:29,720 Speaker 6: about until I had this problem, and so the engine 406 00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:33,119 Speaker 6: has to be replaced, and fortunately it's under warranty. I 407 00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:35,600 Speaker 6: bought an extended warranty when I. 408 00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:37,440 Speaker 2: Purchased the truck used. 409 00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:40,840 Speaker 6: Okay, but part of the challenge is it's taken seven 410 00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:47,520 Speaker 6: months for Christler to remanufacturing engine and deliver it. So 411 00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:50,320 Speaker 6: it's about to be installed this week. I just need 412 00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:52,920 Speaker 6: some advice about the best way to break this new 413 00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:54,399 Speaker 6: reconditioned engine. 414 00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:58,320 Speaker 1: Okay. Does this engine have a warranty the replacement engine. 415 00:19:59,200 --> 00:19:59,560 Speaker 2: It does. 416 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:03,480 Speaker 6: It's from Chrysler, so it'll have my lifetime warranty will 417 00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:05,679 Speaker 6: continue on this on the same vehicle. 418 00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:08,600 Speaker 1: Okay. Have you talked to Chrysler at the dealer level 419 00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:10,960 Speaker 1: as far as what they're expecting you to do, you know, 420 00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:13,520 Speaker 1: for service and maintenance, but you know, oil changes, fluids, 421 00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:15,240 Speaker 1: that kind of thing. Have they have they discussed that 422 00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:15,600 Speaker 1: with you? 423 00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:19,919 Speaker 6: I have not, but I haven't because the dealer is 424 00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:22,040 Speaker 6: quite uninformed. 425 00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:26,119 Speaker 1: Right in my mind, that's sort of scary. So, you know, 426 00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:28,359 Speaker 1: I know how I would want to break it in 427 00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:30,040 Speaker 1: and what I would want to do, but I want 428 00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:32,880 Speaker 1: something in writing from the dealer or Chrysler, all right, 429 00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:34,960 Speaker 1: from the manufacturer. I want that I want them to 430 00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:37,880 Speaker 1: tell me, here's the parameters by which you have to follow, 431 00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:40,960 Speaker 1: so I don't fall out of that realm right and 432 00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:43,639 Speaker 1: this way, this way. When God forbid five thousand miles 433 00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:46,200 Speaker 1: from now, the second engine fails, they don't go, well, 434 00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:48,199 Speaker 1: you know, you had to change it every you know, 435 00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:50,520 Speaker 1: threeenty and twenty two miles. And you change it every 436 00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:53,560 Speaker 1: threeenty and twenty three, you're out of warranty. I want 437 00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:55,520 Speaker 1: some kind of godline, and I want it in writing, 438 00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:58,520 Speaker 1: all right, and an email works great, you know, when 439 00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:00,560 Speaker 1: you're standing in front of the judge, you're look, I've 440 00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:02,679 Speaker 1: got an email from mister Chrysler and he said this, 441 00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:04,879 Speaker 1: and I did that, and they're not honoring it, you 442 00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:06,200 Speaker 1: know that kind of thing. I just want to cover 443 00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:08,000 Speaker 1: your cover your butt, all right. 444 00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:11,840 Speaker 6: Yeah, so it's going to be covered by a warranty 445 00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:16,560 Speaker 6: regardless of whether it bites the bullet again. But so 446 00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:20,160 Speaker 6: one of the issues that I'm wondering about I've read 447 00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:24,600 Speaker 6: and heard. You know, synthetic is the best, A blend 448 00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:27,679 Speaker 6: is best. I've been using Mobile one in the in 449 00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:31,760 Speaker 6: the UH in the rams since I've purchased it when 450 00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:34,480 Speaker 6: it had thirty thousand miles on it, okay, mobile one 451 00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:40,800 Speaker 6: with a with a wish extended UH filter, right, But 452 00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:45,280 Speaker 6: would you would you recommend, regardless of what Krasler says, 453 00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:46,840 Speaker 6: would you recommend a blend. 454 00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:49,840 Speaker 1: Or synthetic synthetic full synthetic, I would do. I would 455 00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:52,399 Speaker 1: do a full synthetic. I would do a great filter 456 00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:55,919 Speaker 1: like you're like you're talking about Wicks is wonderful. And 457 00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:58,560 Speaker 1: I would do it every five thousand miles without hesitation. 458 00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:03,280 Speaker 1: I'm just I'm just one of those guys. Five months, 459 00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:05,440 Speaker 1: five thousand miles, and I'm going to tell you something. 460 00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:09,240 Speaker 1: The first oil change after the engine gets done, I'd 461 00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:11,119 Speaker 1: have the oil change at five hundred miles, and I 462 00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:14,080 Speaker 1: would take an oil sample. And I think it's Is 463 00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:17,320 Speaker 1: it Blackstone Labs? I can't think of the name of 464 00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:19,480 Speaker 1: the company that does oil. There's only a few in 465 00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:22,200 Speaker 1: the country. I think it's Blackstone Labs. Just Google search 466 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:25,200 Speaker 1: oil analysis. And I'm not a fan of oil analysis 467 00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:28,959 Speaker 1: on a continuous daily every time I change my oil basis, 468 00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:31,359 Speaker 1: but on a new engine, it'll tell me a lot. 469 00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:33,480 Speaker 1: I would get it done. When I change the oil 470 00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:36,440 Speaker 1: at five hundred I would make the next oil change 471 00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:38,120 Speaker 1: a little early. Let's say we do it at four 472 00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:40,240 Speaker 1: thousand and I would get the oil analysis done then, 473 00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:43,400 Speaker 1: and I think one more time at the next oil 474 00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:46,440 Speaker 1: change interval at five thousand and we should see consistency 475 00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:49,080 Speaker 1: or if we see things that are going to alert us, 476 00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:51,520 Speaker 1: at least they can be explained. Yeah, there's a little 477 00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:54,640 Speaker 1: bit of residue and debris left in the engine, even 478 00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:56,840 Speaker 1: though they try to clean it during assembly. And you know, 479 00:22:56,880 --> 00:23:00,720 Speaker 1: we understand why certain metals and certain fluids and chemicals 480 00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:03,480 Speaker 1: might show up higher on an analysis at five hundred miles, 481 00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:05,679 Speaker 1: but at the four thousand mile mark it has to 482 00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:08,080 Speaker 1: go down at the nine thousand mile mark. It has 483 00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:10,520 Speaker 1: to be you know, safe and consistent and that kind 484 00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:10,880 Speaker 1: of thing. 485 00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:14,560 Speaker 6: So Ron, tell me, do you know anything about the 486 00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:17,639 Speaker 6: HEMI tick? What causes that the HEMI TICKT? 487 00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:21,359 Speaker 1: Well, I think that has to do with from what 488 00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:23,200 Speaker 1: I've read and seen about it, and I haven't seen 489 00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:26,680 Speaker 1: a lot self admitted, but my explanation that I've always 490 00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:29,159 Speaker 1: understood it to be it has to do with lifter failure. 491 00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:33,480 Speaker 1: It's problems in the valve train, and it's not strictly 492 00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:37,200 Speaker 1: you know, I don't think it's strictly engine oil related 493 00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:40,199 Speaker 1: because I've had people like yourself that have you know, 494 00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:43,240 Speaker 1: they've religiously done their oil changes, good oil, good filters, 495 00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:46,320 Speaker 1: and you know, is it a byproduct of the vehicle? 496 00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:48,840 Speaker 1: And then the other question I always have in the 497 00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:51,639 Speaker 1: back of my mind. We always focus on oil changes, 498 00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:53,400 Speaker 1: and I'm not saying this is the case with you, Rob, 499 00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:55,840 Speaker 1: But you know what other fluids have you done? Have 500 00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:58,359 Speaker 1: you done coolant? You know, do you do fuel system 501 00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:01,800 Speaker 1: cleaning on a regular basis? It's about the entire Yeah, 502 00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:03,399 Speaker 1: And I figured you would tell me that I do 503 00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:04,280 Speaker 1: it all. 504 00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:07,600 Speaker 6: I use Lucas oil treatment on every fill up, right, 505 00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:10,200 Speaker 6: choose me gas treatment on every fill up. 506 00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:13,399 Speaker 1: Well, what have you done any formal fuel system cleaning? 507 00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:15,080 Speaker 1: Hook a machine up to the rail or to the 508 00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:16,600 Speaker 1: intake manifold and do a fogging. 509 00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:20,800 Speaker 6: Nah, I haven't done that. I've used Barreman's based on 510 00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:25,359 Speaker 6: your recommendations, but not done any dealer kind of fuel 511 00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:26,040 Speaker 6: system cleaning. 512 00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:28,919 Speaker 1: It would be interesting and I would ask the dealer 513 00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:30,760 Speaker 1: can you do this? When they get the engine out 514 00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:32,919 Speaker 1: of the truck and they get the heads off, you 515 00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:34,800 Speaker 1: know they're gonna take your intake off and put it on, 516 00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:36,560 Speaker 1: you know, swap it over and whatever. They're going to 517 00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:38,760 Speaker 1: do there. Can you get a picture of what the 518 00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:41,200 Speaker 1: backside of the intake valves look like. It'll be interesting 519 00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:45,040 Speaker 1: to see how clean they are, you know, contamination, you know, 520 00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:47,960 Speaker 1: carbon deposits in the motor intake valve top of the piston, 521 00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:51,280 Speaker 1: that kind of thing that grit eventually does break down 522 00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:53,000 Speaker 1: and break off and work its way into the engine 523 00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:54,720 Speaker 1: oil no matter how good you are and how hard 524 00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:57,199 Speaker 1: you try changing the oil. That type of thing. So, 525 00:24:57,720 --> 00:24:59,639 Speaker 1: you know, maybe you need to up your fuel system 526 00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:03,000 Speaker 1: cleaning game a little bit, you know, as a as 527 00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:06,200 Speaker 1: a as a possibility. That's that's just you know, part 528 00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:10,159 Speaker 1: of the game, you know, just as a suggestion. The 529 00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:12,080 Speaker 1: other thing I always think about. The other thing I 530 00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:14,080 Speaker 1: always think about is for a guy like you that's 531 00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:16,560 Speaker 1: really into it, you have a scan tool. 532 00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:19,720 Speaker 6: I'm betting you do you No, I don't. I don't, overron, 533 00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:22,399 Speaker 6: I've been money to get one. I just I haven't 534 00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:25,520 Speaker 6: do So you scan it anyway, go ahead. 535 00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:27,480 Speaker 1: I was gonna say, go out to you know, go spend, 536 00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:29,600 Speaker 1: go spend five hundred eight hundred bucks, a thousand bucks. 537 00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:31,200 Speaker 1: They're not they're not a lot of money. Thousand dollars. 538 00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:33,760 Speaker 1: There's not a lot of money anymore. And you know, 539 00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:36,560 Speaker 1: launch tech USA dot com. Launch has got some great 540 00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:39,480 Speaker 1: scan tools at the DIY level and at least learn 541 00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:41,840 Speaker 1: how to read fuel trim and look at cool and temp. 542 00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:43,720 Speaker 1: And you know, every once in a while I plug 543 00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:46,760 Speaker 1: in and and look to see, you know, is cool 544 00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:50,600 Speaker 1: and temperature staying consistent? Does fuel trim stay consistent? Every 545 00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:52,240 Speaker 1: once in a while, you got to play doctor and 546 00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:54,080 Speaker 1: look at your heart rate and blood pressure. You know, 547 00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:57,960 Speaker 1: I sit down once a week and I take my 548 00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:00,800 Speaker 1: own blood pressure. My kids can get to be pesty 549 00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:03,639 Speaker 1: about that, but that's another story. And you know, I 550 00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:05,080 Speaker 1: think we sort of need to do the same thing 551 00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:08,439 Speaker 1: with cars, just just checking our overall vehicle health. And 552 00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:10,159 Speaker 1: I think a scan tool is a great way to 553 00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:13,200 Speaker 1: do that. And you know, it can it can help you. 554 00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:15,000 Speaker 1: You know, gee, things are starting to fall off or 555 00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:18,040 Speaker 1: change at the very least, and a guy like you, 556 00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:20,879 Speaker 1: it's probably like reading a history book to a history buff. 557 00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:24,000 Speaker 1: You know, you'll see things evolve and you'll start to 558 00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:26,639 Speaker 1: understand how the engine works more, which is always a 559 00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:27,080 Speaker 1: great thing. 560 00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:28,879 Speaker 6: Right, That's great advice. 561 00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:33,240 Speaker 1: But hey, Robert, stay on the phone.

I 648 00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:29,240 Speaker 1: just see numbers. Thanks to you, I'm familiar with fuel 649 00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:31,520 Speaker 1: trim and calculated low, but not much else where can 650 00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:33,320 Speaker 1: I find specs on these trucks as to what the 651 00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:36,120 Speaker 1: PIDs should look like. Adam from Monroe, New York. Adam, 652 00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:39,880 Speaker 1: here's the deal. If you understand fuel trim, calculated load, 653 00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:41,920 Speaker 1: and you can figure out how to get to cool 654 00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:44,000 Speaker 1: and temp and see if the truck come up to temperature, 655 00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:46,840 Speaker 1: and you know, if you could graph the air, fuel 656 00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:49,240 Speaker 1: and the oxygen sensors to see state of change, I 657 00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:51,480 Speaker 1: think that's all you need. I don't know of any 658 00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:53,200 Speaker 1: place where you're going to find PIDs where you're gonna 659 00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:56,360 Speaker 1: find actual live data. All the live data reports that 660 00:30:56,440 --> 00:31:00,840 Speaker 1: I have I've I've earned, so to speak, by hooking 661 00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:03,880 Speaker 1: up a scan tool using the graphing function as well 662 00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:05,760 Speaker 1: as the digital numbers, so I can look at it 663 00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:09,000 Speaker 1: digitally and graph wise, and then saving the movies either 664 00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:11,080 Speaker 1: storing them on the Google Drive. One great thing about 665 00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:14,000 Speaker 1: Google Drive or somewhere on the cloud and printing copies. 666 00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:16,160 Speaker 1: We don't print as much as we used to, except 667 00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:17,840 Speaker 1: when we give it to customers because they all like 668 00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:19,560 Speaker 1: to see reports. We do a lot of it. We 669 00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:22,720 Speaker 1: just store online. But that's that's the beauty of having 670 00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:28,080 Speaker 1: a better scan tool that will graph, report and then 671 00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:30,800 Speaker 1: store on the cloud. Now, if you've got a basic 672 00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:33,800 Speaker 1: scan tool I'm not familiar with the Noova fifty six hundred. 673 00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:37,360 Speaker 1: If it doesn't export live graphing or save movies and 674 00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:40,200 Speaker 1: like that, you've got a great device in your pocket. 675 00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:42,960 Speaker 1: It's called a cell phone. All right, set the scan 676 00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:45,640 Speaker 1: tool up. Let it go through its thing. You know, 677 00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:47,400 Speaker 1: if you can graph, great, if you're just going to 678 00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:49,960 Speaker 1: be looking at PID values just digitally, you know, numbers 679 00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:52,440 Speaker 1: by numbers, which you may not see everything, but you'll 680 00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:54,920 Speaker 1: get a rough idea record it. Take a movie on 681 00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:58,400 Speaker 1: your cell phone, store that movie on the cloud and 682 00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:00,400 Speaker 1: you can say, hey, today we're working on a ten 683 00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:03,280 Speaker 1: Toyota Sequoya. It's got fifty six thousand miles on it, 684 00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:05,440 Speaker 1: the date is this, the time is this, the outside 685 00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:07,800 Speaker 1: weather is that? And store it up on the cloud 686 00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:09,479 Speaker 1: and then if you everyone have something to fall back on, 687 00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:12,880 Speaker 1: you've got it courtesy that cell phone video. But as 688 00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:15,120 Speaker 1: far as an actual place where all the PIDs and 689 00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:17,720 Speaker 1: values are, that's earned, my friend, I know of no 690 00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:20,760 Speaker 1: place that actually stores those numbers. That's just we always 691 00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:22,880 Speaker 1: say you have to look at good vehicles, so you 692 00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:24,520 Speaker 1: know when you're looking at bad ones. And that's why 693 00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:26,880 Speaker 1: we always try to look at good and store data. 694 00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:29,480 Speaker 1: And that's part of a good repair shops process. Just 695 00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:32,200 Speaker 1: you know, heart rate, blood pressure, and how well is 696 00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:34,560 Speaker 1: the vehicle operating, so when it does go south, they've 697 00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:36,880 Speaker 1: got something on its file. So I hope that does 698 00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:38,440 Speaker 1: it for you, Adam. If you need more, you know 699 00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:40,520 Speaker 1: where to find me. Eighty five five five six zero 700 00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:42,680 Speaker 1: nine nine zero zero The car Doctor's back right after this. 701 00:32:42,720 --> 00:33:02,800 Speaker 4: Don't go away? 702 00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:05,800 Speaker 1: Oh is that the on button? 703 00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:06,160 Speaker 4: Tom? 704 00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:08,040 Speaker 1: Jeez, I couldn't hit my on button. Look at that. 705 00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:08,640 Speaker 4: I was stuck. 706 00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:12,520 Speaker 1: Much like the week at the shop. It was a 707 00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:14,120 Speaker 1: stuck week at the shop. There was all kinds of 708 00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:17,840 Speaker 1: weird things at the shop. This week. I had this. 709 00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:20,440 Speaker 1: I don't want to tell you the whole story. I'll 710 00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:22,280 Speaker 1: save it for another show, but I'll I'll just wet 711 00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:24,840 Speaker 1: your appetite a little bit. We had a twenty twenty 712 00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:28,880 Speaker 1: jeep Grand Cherokee this week. And it was simple enough. 713 00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:34,840 Speaker 1: The person went away to Florida. You know, they went 714 00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:36,680 Speaker 1: down to Florida for four months and they came back 715 00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:39,120 Speaker 1: and you know, as you might expect, the jeep had 716 00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:43,440 Speaker 1: a dead battery and they got it jump started. And 717 00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:45,520 Speaker 1: when they got it jump started, it started, and it 718 00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:49,440 Speaker 1: started every day thereafter. But right from the onset of 719 00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:52,800 Speaker 1: the battery being dead and having to be jump started, 720 00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:58,000 Speaker 1: they had no radio display. The radio was out. So subsequently, 721 00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:00,840 Speaker 1: you know, in a twenty twenty Grand Cherokee in the 722 00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:06,640 Speaker 1: center cluster there that radio images, radio climate control, whether 723 00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:10,000 Speaker 1: your phone is paired, you know, all the functionality of 724 00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:13,480 Speaker 1: that center dash area, so to speak. And they couldn't 725 00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:16,040 Speaker 1: get it to come back on. And no matter what 726 00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:18,560 Speaker 1: they did, they tried resets, they did a bunch of things, 727 00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:20,800 Speaker 1: and it was an interesting problem. 728 00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:21,360 Speaker 2: It was. 729 00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:25,640 Speaker 1: They ended up on my doorstep naturally, and you know 730 00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:27,200 Speaker 1: some of the steps that I had to go through 731 00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:32,120 Speaker 1: to resolve it. You know, it's it's interesting how Chrysler 732 00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:34,279 Speaker 1: wired the radio. I'll tell you this much, all right. 733 00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:36,120 Speaker 1: I'm not going to tell you that the answer what 734 00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:37,680 Speaker 1: I did is going to be in an upcoming show 735 00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:40,160 Speaker 1: either this either next hour or next week. I haven't 736 00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:42,160 Speaker 1: decided where we'll talk about it. We'll see how it 737 00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:45,560 Speaker 1: fits in. But it's interesting to see how Chrysler wired 738 00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:49,279 Speaker 1: this in. They wired the radio fuse to the auxiliary 739 00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:53,200 Speaker 1: battery under the passenger side front seat. Sure, let's make 740 00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:55,480 Speaker 1: it accessible, you know. I'm pretty I'm pretty sure. It's 741 00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:57,000 Speaker 1: pretty soon we're gonna have to start to use a 742 00:34:57,080 --> 00:34:59,000 Speaker 1: saws all to cut away it get the batteries, because 743 00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:01,080 Speaker 1: they're sure hiding them in every nook and cranny of 744 00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:03,120 Speaker 1: the vehicle. They definitely don't want us working on it. 745 00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:05,640 Speaker 1: So the answer on what it took next week. Stay tuned. 746 00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:07,840 Speaker 1: I'm running Ny in the car doctor, reminding you the 747 00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:10,880 Speaker 1: mechanics aren't expensive, they're priceless. See you
