1
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:02,960
Speaker 1: Ron An Aian. The transfer case does just what the

2
00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:07,760
Speaker 1: name implies. It transfers power from the transmission and drives

3
00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:11,040
Speaker 1: them to the front wheels and power to the rear wheels.

4
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:12,440
Speaker 1: It's a transfer.

5
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:26,880
Speaker 2: Kid, the way, the Car Doctor I put a warn

6
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:30,000

Speaker 1: Okay, Well that's okay. I'm a certified YouTube er also,

00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:39,040
Speaker 1: what we have to look. So I understand I'm only

11
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:39,519
Speaker 1: kidding with you.

12
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:43,320
Speaker 4: Welcome to the radio home of ron Anian the Car Doctor.

13
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 4: Since nineteen ninety one, this is where car owners the

14
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 4: world overturned to for their definitive opinion on automotive repair.

15
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:54,320
Speaker 4: If your mechanics giving you a busy signal, pick up

16
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 4: the phone and call in.

17
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:58,640
Speaker 1: The garage doors are open, but I am here to

Speaker 1: take your calls at A five five six ninety nine

19
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 1: hundred and now he.

20
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:06,039
Speaker 5: Running.

21
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 1: I always think of that line. What was that movie

22
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:11,839
Speaker 1: A Few Good Men with Jack Nicholson and Tom Cruise

23
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:14,559
Speaker 1: And they're in the courtroom and they're arguing back and forth,

24
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:18,679
Speaker 1: and Jack Nicholson's character says, you can't handle the truth

25
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 1: and the truth is. And then he goes on to say,

26
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:24,679
Speaker 1: and I think about that with cars, because I really

27
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:28,639
Speaker 1: think you can't handle the truth. You just can't deal

28
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 1: with some of the problems that you create by not

29
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 1: taking care of a vehicle. Because I'm stunned at what

30
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 1: I see. You know, we had we had a ten

31
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 1: year old jeep this week with one hundred and twenty

32
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:43,039
Speaker 1: five thousand miles and the thing looked like it was

33
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 1: road hard, put away wet on a cold, damp day,

34
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 1: and it needed a pile of work. And it's going

35
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 1: back and forth to college four hours away, and you know,

36
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 1: it just never had any maintenance by its appearance and

37
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 1: by the condition that it was in. And I could

38
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 1: tell that the owner was a little surprised. They didn't

39
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 1: seem real enthusiastic. I don't know what happened to it.

40
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 1: They pulled the car and that's okay. We have more

41
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 1: than enough to do. But you know, the point becomes

42
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 1: that I see this time and time again, and it

43
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 1: always makes me ask the question, are you doing enough?

44
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:20,920
Speaker 1: You know, we're a funny bunch. You know, when they

45
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 1: study the human race a thousand years from now and

46
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 1: whatever comes to replace us by then, you know they're

47
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 1: going to look at it and say they were a

48
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 1: funny bunch. They were more concerned with drinking a little

49
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,360
Speaker 1: beverage out of a cup from a place called Starbucks

50
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 1: for eight dollars a shot. Whatever eight dollars was then

51
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 1: taking care of the device that transported them to and

52
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 1: from their destinations. And you know, I always say that,

53
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 1: I always think that in my mind, that we're more

54
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 1: fixated on things than getting there safely. Sometimes it's you know,

55
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 1: I don't take chances. I'm not one to pull punches.

56
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:54,800
Speaker 1: The road is of every unforgiving place, and you know,

57
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 1: if I'm going to send somebody out on the road,

58
00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 1: I've got to make sure the cars as good as

59
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 1: shape and as safe as I can possibly make it,

60
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:04,679
Speaker 1: because there's insanity all over the world. I was out

61
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 1: this morning. I was going to go do some errands

62
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 1: and some grocery shopping, honestly, and I came upon a

63
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 1: situation on one of the local main roads. Now picture this,

64
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 1: It's Saturday morning in America, and there's a fairly new

65
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 1: Cadillac SUV driving down the main road with a flat tire.

66
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 1: The right front tire was flat and it's just driving

67
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:33,119
Speaker 1: down the road on a flat tire cathumping along at

68
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 1: three and a half four miles an hour. There's a

69
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 1: police officer and a car in front of them. There's

70
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 1: a police officer and a car and back of them

71
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 1: with their lights on. They were basically giving this car

72
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 1: my interpretation, they were giving this car a police escort.

73
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 1: And they just drove a good you know, two hundred

74
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 1: feet down the road and then they made a left

75
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 1: to get off onto a side street, and I think

76
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 1: they kept like it didn't make any sense. The rim

77
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 1: was ruined. I guarantee you the rim for that Cadillac

78
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 1: is five hundred dollars. The tire was already ruined. You know,

79
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 1: they probably did one thousand dollars worth of damage because

80
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 1: I don't know, they didn't want to stop, They couldn't

81
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 1: get a tow truck. What it was only going a

82
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 1: few feet to their house on that side street. That

83
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 1: I don't know. It doesn't make any sense. It's but

84
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 1: yet that person will be shocked at the price of

85
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 1: repair in all likelihood, and they won't understand why they

86
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 1: damaged some expensive electronics system on that vehicle and I

87
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:36,040
Speaker 1: locked brake control traction control abs something that requires an

88
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:39,839
Speaker 1: even further look, and it probably could have been avoided.

89
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 1: You know, tires don't just go flat anymore. There's tire

90
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 1: pressure monitoring systems. There's there's if you're getting regular service,

91
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:49,599
Speaker 1: they're looking the vehicle over, if they're doing it properly,

92
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 1: warning you know, if that car suffered a blowout such

93
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 1: that the tire failed, why would you want to drive home?

94
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:56,479
Speaker 1: I don't care if you're two hundred feet or two

95
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:59,360
Speaker 1: miles or two hundred miles. You can't get there from here.

96
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 1: Going to do is cause more damage. You know, Jack

97
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:06,919
Speaker 1: Nicholson was right, you can't handle the truth. It's it's

98
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 1: it's really the case, and you're not thinking about the consequences.

99
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 1: I think that's got to be in this conversation too.

100
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:20,159
Speaker 1: You know, I was fortunate enough to to, you know,

101
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:24,719
Speaker 1: raise three daughters, and you know, they're out there in

102
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 1: the world now and they're they're they're all doing well,

103
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 1: thank god. But they all have a basic understanding of

104
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 1: you know, the limits of an automobile, and you know

105
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,359
Speaker 1: what to do and what not to do. And you know,

106
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 1: maybe it was an indoctrination. I don't know, you know,

107
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 1: but we need to we need to get more of

108
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:46,600
Speaker 1: an education out there. It's really important because the insanity

109
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 1: that you see out on the road, because we all

110
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 1: see it. I'm firmly convinced of that. We all talk

111
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,159
Speaker 1: in hush tones about the crazy thing we saw today,

112
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 1: whether it be with an automobile or something else, because

113
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,160
Speaker 1: the world's a little insane the last couple of years.

114
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 1: And you know, we've got to come back to center.

115
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:07,600
Speaker 1: I remember, you know, memories of Dad right in the sixties.

116
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 1: You know, Dad worked on that car every day, and

117
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 1: he had to work on that car every day because

118
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 1: that's the way cars were in the sixties, every week

119
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:15,360
Speaker 1: at least.

120
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:16,600
Speaker 6: But we don't, we don't.

121
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,799
Speaker 1: We don't appreciate that automobile. We take it for granted.

122
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 1: We just think of it as a piece of machinery,

123
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:25,160
Speaker 1: which it is. But it still requires attention. It still

124
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 1: requires TLC now and then. And as they get up

125
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 1: there in age, just like people, they need that, you know,

126
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 1: they need that little bit of grease, They need that

127
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 1: little touch of oil, They need that little bit of

128
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 1: a pat on the head to say, hey, good boy,

129
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 1: good girl, you know you did the job. I don't

130
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 1: know I'm I'm kind of corny sometimes I get it,

131
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:48,280
Speaker 1: but you know it's the truth. You know, Americans are

132
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:50,600
Speaker 1: passionate about their automobiles. I think the ones that are

133
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 1: in tune anyway. You know, Tom Ray, my engineer, is

134
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 1: driving a by now probably a three hundred and ninety

135
00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 1: mile twenty fifteen FOURD escape that to his credit, he

136
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 1: does maintain, he does change the oil all the time,

137
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 1: he does do his services.

138
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:04,280
Speaker 7: He does.

139
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 1: He's got almost four hundred thousand miles on a nine

140
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 1: year old vehicle. And you know it's it's we're going

141
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 1: to get to five hundred thousand and then I told

142
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 1: him we're getting rid of it, or we're going to

143
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 1: donate it to the Smithsonian, or we're going to sell

144
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 1: it back to Fords. Now can figure out what they

145
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 1: to Ford and have them runs it. Well, they're gonna

146
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 1: have Ford's going to say, what did we do wrong?

147
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 1: Here's one that actually made it the five hundred thousand miles.

148
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 1: You know it's they want to know the secret so

149
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 1: they don't do it again. But you know, the point becomes,

150
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 1: you just got to take care of your car, folks.

151
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 1: I can't I can't tell you that enough it's it's

152
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 1: like maintenance. It's it's you know, And don't be surprised,

153
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 1: because I'm telling you right now if if the past

154
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 1: couple of months have been any indication, I think the

155
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 1: parts issue is not going to get any better. Not

156
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:53,679
Speaker 1: trying to be doom and gloom, not trying to be negative,

157
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 1: just you know, reality, because I try to base everything

158
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 1: in reality. It's what I see every day. You know,

159
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,679
Speaker 1: there's a lot of there's a lot of movement behind

160
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 1: the scenes. There's a lot of movement behind the screen.

161
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:06,680
Speaker 1: Trying to get parts for cars today, trying to get

162
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 1: good parts for cars today, trying to keep cars on

163
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 1: the road. It's not as quick and easy and simple

164
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 1: as you think. And it's only gonna get worse, you

165
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:18,679
Speaker 1: know that as time goes on. So just just just

166
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 1: just be aware, all right, it's it's you know. So anyway,

167
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 1: let's let's go, let's pull over and take a pause.

168
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 1: Maybe we'll do that. Let's pull over, take a pause,

169
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 1: and then we'll open up the phone lines at eight

170
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 1: five five five six zero nine nine zero zero and

171
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:34,439
Speaker 1: I'll be back to talk to you then. So I'm

172
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:36,840
Speaker 1: ronning Anie in the car. Doctor, don't go anywhere.

173
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 7: You'll have done.

174
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 2: What's more fun than listening to Ron and Anie in

175
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 2: the car doctor and getting that car fixed right?

176
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 1: Eight five to five five six zero nine nine zero zero.

177
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 1: Give Ron a call? Now back to Ron. Hey, let's

178
00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 1: go over and talk to Let's go to Paul in Virginia,

179
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 1: ninety five Ford, Broncos. What's going on here?

180
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:02,320
Speaker 8: Paul?

181
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 1: Welcome to the card Doctor. Sir, how can I help?

182
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:09,680
Speaker 9: Yeah, Hi, Ron, I've got I do have a Bronco myself,

183
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,319
Speaker 9: but I'm calling about my brothers. And it is in

184
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:17,479
Speaker 9: ninety five and he's got the three fifty one winder

185
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:23,440
Speaker 9: and he had gone changed the oil and he noticed

186
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:27,560
Speaker 9: the oil filter was not quite in the right place.

187
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 9: It there's actually an access in the in the front

188
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:39,719
Speaker 9: axle for the oil filter when you've got the V

189
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:44,320
Speaker 9: eight and there's about three quarters of an inch on

190
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:49,680
Speaker 9: either side of it. Well, it was like, you know,

191
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 9: towards the back of that opening, so it was like

192
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 9: making contact with the.

193
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 1: Axle, okay.

194
00:09:56,640 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 9: And he didn't say anything to me about it. He

195
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 9: finished changing oil and he went down the road and

196
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 9: that was a mistake. He wanted to get towed to

197
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 9: a shop and they replaced the water pump which had

198
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:20,959
Speaker 9: you know, been leaking. He knew there was water coming,

199
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:23,080
Speaker 9: but he couldn't see where. And I explained to him

200
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 9: about the weapole and all that. So they changed out

201
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:27,720
Speaker 9: the water pump. Fine, but they told him it was

202
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 9: ready and pick it up, Go and pick it up. Well,

203
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:33,040
Speaker 9: he went to pick it up and he heard the

204
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 9: noise that was making earlier, and he brought it back

205
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:39,679
Speaker 9: to him, said this is it right? And he said, well,

206
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 9: we don't do transmissions like transmission and anyway I told him,

207
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 9: I said, well, I said, what happened was your motor

208
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:53,719
Speaker 9: mounts went, and when your motor mounse went, it was

209
00:10:54,200 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 9: time to quit driving it. But anyway, I told him,

210
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 9: I said, in all likelihood what you've done is cracked

211
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 9: the flex plate and anyway, but he's he's kind of

212
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 9: stuck on the transmission because of what the first shop said. Well,

213
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 9: you got to take the transmission out, of course, to

214
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:21,680
Speaker 9: get to the flege plate.

215
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:25,320
Speaker 1: Well, so why why don't we do this, Paul? So

216
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 1: first of all, right, it sounds like the engine mounts

217
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 1: are broken, rotted, falling, cracked, whatever, because the oil filter

218
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 1: is at a position right that was that was the

219
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:38,719
Speaker 1: first clue when he took it when he I'm just

220
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 1: curious when he took it into that first shop, was

221
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:43,440
Speaker 1: it that, hey, I've got a coolant leak, or that

222
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 1: the engine's making a noise, which which was his What

223
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:47,680
Speaker 1: was his comment?

224
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 9: No, it was making a noise, and then it quit.

225
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:58,559
Speaker 1: After the noise stopped. The noise, the noise stopped happening.

226
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 9: Yeah, so but he did say it quit. Now maybe

227
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 9: so it's for some other reason, maybe because the water

228
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 9: pump was leaking, Maybe it got wires wet.

229
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 1: Right, would have been nice if it would have been

230
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 1: nice if they took the belt off and started the

231
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 1: car without any belts on it to see if the

232
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 1: noise was there. But regardless, this is where we are.

233
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:24,920
Speaker 1: So you know, now the question is is it is

234
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:27,679
Speaker 1: it a transmission problem? Is it a flex plate? Why

235
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:30,640
Speaker 1: can't we put this up in the air get to

236
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 1: the access plate? All right? We might have to pull

237
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 1: the starter to do it, and and I think we

238
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:37,840
Speaker 1: do have to pull the starter to do it. In

239
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:41,440
Speaker 1: ninety five, pull the starter out hand, crank the motor

240
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 1: around with the bolt on the front, all right, and

241
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 1: disconnect the tor converter slide the tor converter back onto

242
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 1: the nose of the trend so it clears the crank,

243
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 1: put the starter back in, started up, and see if

244
00:12:54,720 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 1: the noise is still there. I hear silence.

245
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 8: You're thinking, yeah, so uh, you know, from what I've

246
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 8: heard and talking and and so on, it sounds like

247
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 8: the flex plate right or.

248
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,559
Speaker 1: Or at least at least pull the starter hand crank it.

249
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:18,960
Speaker 1: Do we see and he cracks around, you know, on

250
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 1: the flex plate. Typically they're at the mounting bolts for

251
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:23,679
Speaker 1: the converter. If we but you know, if we think

252
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 1: it's in the trends, if we separate it and split

253
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:27,560
Speaker 1: it at the converter and just push the converter onto

254
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 1: the pump of the trans and let it sit there.

255
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:31,839
Speaker 1: As long as it's not in contact with the back

256
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 1: of the crank, it's not going to hurt anything. And

257
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:35,960
Speaker 1: you can just run it at the engine is If

258
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 1: the engine is quiet at that point, well then you

259
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 1: know it's it's either it's either in the trends itself

260
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:44,320
Speaker 1: it really is in the trans, or you've got to

261
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 1: look very closely for a cracked flex plate.

262
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:53,560
Speaker 9: Yeah, it's it's most likely to crack. We're at the

263
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 9: mounting bolts.

264
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:58,560
Speaker 1: Right, most likely? Yeah, most likely?

265
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:03,600
Speaker 9: All right, Now, if the flex plate is cracked, let's

266
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 9: say there are pieces messing from it. What are the

267
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 9: chances of that damaging the transmission?

268
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:14,520
Speaker 1: How I'm gonna put the question back to you. How

269
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:16,080
Speaker 1: piece of metal falls out?

270
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 5: Yeah?

271
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 1: Right, piece of metal falls out and it would have

272
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 1: to fall out between the flex plate and the back

273
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 1: of the converter. Right, think about this. Let's say it

274
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 1: did it at idle six hundred r pm, seven hundred

275
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 1: r pm. Piece of metal came out and it got

276
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 1: let's say it, somehow it got death start into the

277
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 1: case of the transmission, right, harpooned in. It's possible, I mean,

278
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 1: anything's possible. I would have to think the converter would

279
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 1: have been rubbing up against that piece of metal and

280
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 1: be making an awful loud noise, and it would be

281
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 1: there all the time. And it's not something that would disappear.

282
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 1: Water pump, No water pump and so on.

283
00:14:57,040 --> 00:15:01,400
Speaker 9: Yeah, he still has the noise after the water, right.

284
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 1: Right, That's what I'm saying. And let's not, you know,

285
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 1: let's let's not let's not you know, you know, what

286
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 1: if the sun fell out of the sky and hit

287
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 1: the earth. Let's not go any further than we have

288
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:16,200
Speaker 1: to until we get there. You know, it's I've never

289
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 1: in my years seen a piece fall out of the

290
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 1: flex plate and you know, get wedge somewhere that it

291
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 1: damaged the trans I guess it's possible, but it's just

292
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 1: not a very likely phenomena. All right. You're talking about

293
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 1: that converter's pressed up tight against the plate, and you

294
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 1: know it might fall out when you move the converter

295
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 1: forward off the nose. But the original part of this

296
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 1: conversation was the noise is in the back of the engine.

297
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:44,720
Speaker 1: How do we dope it out? If taking the weight

298
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 1: of the converter off makes the noise go away, all right,

299
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 1: then we can take a close look at the converter

300
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:56,120
Speaker 1: and see where we are. Is the noise there in neutral?

301
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:58,440
Speaker 1: Is the noise? There in drive? Is the noise? They're

302
00:15:58,480 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 1: just sitting there at idle.

303
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 9: Uh That I don't know because I didn't have that

304
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 9: conversation with him, right, you know, if I haven't seen it,

305
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 9: I'm one hundred miles away, right and I haven't gotten

306
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 9: right check it out.

307
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 1: You know, and a bors scope might might come in

308
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:20,320
Speaker 1: handy now that with the converter pushed onto the nose

309
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 1: of the trans you might be able to get up

310
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 1: there and see things. You might be able to see

311
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 1: it cracked around the mounting bolt of the crank itself. Right,

312
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 1: This isn't the one with the E g R tube

313
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:33,680
Speaker 1: in the back of the head. Is it that's leaking

314
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 1: or that was yours?

315
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:37,240
Speaker 9: Oh that's mine?

316
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, you got it.

317
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 3: You got a heck of a memory.

318
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, right, I remember that's two years ago.

319
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:50,400
Speaker 9: Where you wish the vehicle was a van, it'd be

320
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:51,720
Speaker 9: a whole lot easier.

321
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 1: Right, yeah, exactly, so exactly, But.

322
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:57,400
Speaker 9: That's what one of one of the rare times when

323
00:16:57,440 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 9: a van is easier to work on.

324
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:04,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's not often, right, It's it's not often so,

325
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 1: but like I said, it's it's rare. But you know,

326
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:09,360
Speaker 1: you could take it from that approach and see if

327
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 1: pushing it towards the back and then you know, he

328
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 1: didn't rub through. I just want to ask the question

329
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:15,359
Speaker 1: real quick and put the thought in your head. He

330
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 1: didn't rub through the he didn't rub through the oil filter. Right,

331
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:22,480
Speaker 1: it wasn't leaking. This this thing didn't suffer a loss

332
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 1: of oil pressure.

333
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 7: Okay, right.

334
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:28,439
Speaker 9: I asked him about that and he said, no, the

335
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 9: oil pressure was good.

336
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 1: And you know, so higher mileage? Is this a higher

337
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:35,959
Speaker 1: mileage truck? Uh?

338
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:42,240
Speaker 8: Well, not for the year. I think he's got you know,

339
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:45,320
Speaker 8: maybe one hundred and sixty or something like that, you know,

340
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:46,920
Speaker 8: but that's not all right.

341
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 9: I think it was about one hundred thousand that he

342
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:54,119
Speaker 9: had a stat for transmission to that.

343
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:59,639
Speaker 1: Okay. So you know, usually a trans fails, it's going

344
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 1: to be real obnoxious and loud and continuous, and it

345
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:06,440
Speaker 1: doesn't come and go. Flex plates tend to come and go.

346
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 1: That's more likely where you're gonna find it. So that's

347
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 1: why I'm suggesting looking at it from that perspective. But

348
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:13,439
Speaker 1: you know what you got to do, Paul, keep them

349
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:15,840
Speaker 1: running and we'll talk to you again if we need to.

Speaker 5: parents my dad uncle were basic questioned. My rogue is

Speaker 5: paid off. Now, okay, do I what's your opinion on

362
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 5: a warranty? A maintenance warrant? You like cars, shield and endurance.

363
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:20,800
Speaker 1: Who who maintains the car?

364
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:24,240
Speaker 5: Jim uh Nissan?

365
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:27,920
Speaker 1: Okay, so you know it's being done in a Nissan dealer.

366
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,159
Speaker 1: You like the dealership, You have a relationship with them,

367
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 1: You can go in and talk to them. They seem caring,

368
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:36,359
Speaker 1: they seem you know, yeah, okay, you know it's it's

369
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 1: my only concern with a maintenance. Are you talking about

370
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:42,240
Speaker 1: a maintenance plan or a warranty plan?

371
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 5: I guess maintenance. I guess that cars. You talks about endurance.

372
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:53,640
Speaker 1: But so you're talking about a third party maintenance provider.

373
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:59,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, Like I got a seventy five thousand miles on

374
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:04,399
Speaker 5: my the car now as a fifteen, so I've always

375
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:07,240
Speaker 5: been told that something breaks down, it's going to be

376
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:07,560
Speaker 5: on me.

377
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:11,399
Speaker 1: Right, So you know you're looking for you're looking okay,

378
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:15,919
Speaker 1: you're looking for an extended warranty, all right, Okay, so

379
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:18,439
Speaker 1: you know what's the cost of what's the cost of

380
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:19,359
Speaker 1: the warranty plan?

381
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:25,359
Speaker 5: Well, do it's wanted five thousand dollars, okay, over a

382
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:27,199
Speaker 5: three year period paying for it?

383
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:30,159
Speaker 1: Right, how long is the policy for? How long? How

384
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:32,920
Speaker 1: many miles and how many years?

385
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:39,879
Speaker 5: I think it was two years and ten thousand miles.

386
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:41,040
Speaker 5: I believe something like that.

387
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:46,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not enough. It's not enough. First of all.

388
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:49,920
Speaker 1: First of all, all right, let's think of it like this. Yeah,

389
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:53,480
Speaker 1: all right, you know, five thousand dollars would have to

390
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:59,119
Speaker 1: be something cataclysmic, the trans failed, all right, So a

391
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:03,879
Speaker 1: typical transmission is probably in North Jersey dollars, because I

392
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:06,679
Speaker 1: realized the labor rate varies around the country, something fierce,

393
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:10,399
Speaker 1: but north Jersey dollars. A rogue transmission is probably right

394
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:14,000
Speaker 1: in the neighborhood of five six grand. So you spend

395
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:17,439
Speaker 1: five six grand to save five grand. You know, you

396
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 1: spend five grand to say, you know, you know what

397
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:23,280
Speaker 1: I'm saying. So you're so close if the engine failed,

398
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:26,119
Speaker 1: and what are the chances of that. Yeah, it's going

399
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:28,440
Speaker 1: to be more money. But you know, you're you're kind

400
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:31,439
Speaker 1: of on you You're spending a lot of money to

401
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:35,160
Speaker 1: ensure something for a short period of time. All right,

402
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:39,520
Speaker 1: where you know where the odds are really going to

403
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 1: be in your favor. Look, it's kind of like if

404
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:44,200
Speaker 1: you told me it was five grand and you're getting

405
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:48,680
Speaker 1: a five year, eighty thousand mile warranty. We're talking about

406
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:51,440
Speaker 1: something you know, at at somewhere around one hundred and

407
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:53,359
Speaker 1: thirty to one hundred and fifty thousand mile mark. If

408
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:55,720
Speaker 1: the car puked the transmission, Hey, you're getting a trans

409
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:58,960
Speaker 1: out of the deal. All right, you're getting something. But

410
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:03,320
Speaker 1: it sounds like the warranty policies don't cover enough. You

411
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:08,200
Speaker 1: can do more by sticking to one mechanic, one group

412
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:11,480
Speaker 1: of people to service this vehicle and getting your service

413
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 1: done in a timely manner, I think than at this

414
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 1: point trying to put you know, a warranty policy on

415
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 1: a nine almost ten year old vehicle. Okay, I would

416
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:23,640
Speaker 1: also go back and talk. I would also go back

417
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:25,680
Speaker 1: and talk to you guys at the dealership and say, hey,

418
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 1: this company has called me, this is what they're offering.

419
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:33,000
Speaker 1: Do you work with them, because that's important. Not every

420
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:37,040
Speaker 1: shop works with every aftermarket warranty provider. Do you work

421
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:42,359
Speaker 1: with them? And what's your experience been? All Right? You know,

422
00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 1: putting a warranty policy on a vehicle is sort of

423
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:50,680
Speaker 1: like expecting health insurance to cover everything and work right

424
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:54,880
Speaker 1: every time you got you got health insurance, Jim, well

425
00:22:55,880 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 1: medicare right, does it work every time? Pays everything right?

426
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:05,160
Speaker 1: But but it's it's not always your choice of doctor.

427
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:07,359
Speaker 1: I guess it depends on your writer and your supplement.

428
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:10,960
Speaker 1: But you get my point. You know, insurance insurance doesn't

429
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 1: always give us what we want, whether when it comes

430
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:14,639
Speaker 1: to our health, and it doesn't always give us what

431
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:17,879
Speaker 1: we want it comes to our car, Okay, and it

432
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:21,960
Speaker 1: and at some point I think putting an extended warranty

433
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,440
Speaker 1: on a ten year old vehicle and I'm just being

434
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:26,879
Speaker 1: sensitive to the parts issue that I still see as

435
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:28,560
Speaker 1: a predominant problem.

436
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:29,119
Speaker 9: You know.

437
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:31,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, hey, Jim, you know we can put a trans

438
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 1: in your car. You're gonna have to wait six weeks

439
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:35,720
Speaker 1: to get one. There are none available, you know that

440
00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:37,440
Speaker 1: kind of a thing. So is it? Is it five

441
00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:39,880
Speaker 1: thousand dollars out the door? I think it's a lot

442
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:42,760
Speaker 1: of money. You know, you'd have to You'd have to

443
00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:46,800
Speaker 1: convince me otherwise, all right, sir, Okay, So thank you

444
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 1: very much. You're very welcome. Nice to talk to you.

445
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:53,200
Speaker 1: You're very welcome. Yeah, I think it's dollars and cents, guys,

446
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 1: I really do, you know. And it's got to cover

447
00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:58,840
Speaker 1: more than just drive train. You know, we didn't get

448
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 1: into the minutia with Jim and get into the detail.

449
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 1: But it's got to cover more than than just the

450
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:07,080
Speaker 1: just just drive train. It's got to cover the electronics.

451
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 1: Electronics are more likely to fail than major drivetrain componentry.

452
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:10,840
Speaker 8: You know.

453
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:13,240
Speaker 1: I think that's the bigger I think that's the bigger

454
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:16,960
Speaker 1: issue and that's the bigger concern. So anyway, let's pull

455
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:18,679
Speaker 1: over to take a pause. Eight five five five six

456
00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:20,960
Speaker 1: zero nine nine zero zero. We'll be back right after this.

465
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:52,360
Speaker 8: Yes, sir, Hey, Ron, how you doing? Good?

466
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 1: Sir? What's going on?

467
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:56,639
Speaker 3: I have a gosh full wheel drive. Okay, it's and

468
00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:59,040
Speaker 3: I'm not exactly sure of the years. It's eighty four

469
00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:02,200
Speaker 3: eighty five about that about that time frame, all right,

470
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 3: and it's been doing fine. I keep it on outer

471
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:07,399
Speaker 3: on the outer Bank, so it's taking a beating, but

472
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:09,480
Speaker 3: it starts up fine to run for a while, but

473
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:11,639
Speaker 3: then cuts off. All right, and then you got to

474
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:13,199
Speaker 3: sit for a while. You do the same thing and

475
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:15,160
Speaker 3: it cuts off. I have friends of mine who are

476
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:17,199
Speaker 3: not mechanics, but they're pretty good with their cars. They

477
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:19,800
Speaker 3: think it's a fuel filter. But if it's a fuel filter,

478
00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:22,399
Speaker 3: why would it start and run for a while and

479
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:23,040
Speaker 3: then cut off.

480
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:27,800
Speaker 1: Well, anything's possible. But you know the other side of

481
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:30,320
Speaker 1: that is, if it's a fuel filter, can you drive it?

482
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:32,000
Speaker 1: Is this a driving vehicle when it runs?

483
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:32,520
Speaker 5: Yeah?

484
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:34,760
Speaker 1: You know, if you go out, if you go out

485
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:37,000
Speaker 1: to the highway, can you do forty fifty sixty miles

486
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:37,359
Speaker 1: an hour?

487
00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:39,480
Speaker 5: I haven't.

488
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:41,040
Speaker 3: I don't use it on a highway much. I use

489
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:43,399
Speaker 3: it on the outer Bank, beaches of Outer Bank. But

490
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:45,199
Speaker 3: I do need to get it on the road, you know.

491
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:47,239
Speaker 8: It's it's just all that.

492
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:50,119
Speaker 1: Typically if it's a fuel filter, you'll you'll you'll feel

493
00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:53,000
Speaker 1: a restriction at you know, higher speeds because the engine

494
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:55,480
Speaker 1: can't you can't deliver enough fuel to the engine to

495
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 1: keep it running, so the filter is restricted. I mean, sure,

496
00:25:58,119 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 1: you know what it's I can I can envision the

497
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 1: in my mind. This this old, you know, kind of

498
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:05,760
Speaker 1: rusted out. I'm sure that. I'm sure the salt water's

499
00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:07,840
Speaker 1: kind of beat it up a little bit, and uh,

500
00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:10,840
Speaker 1: you know it sure could probably use a fuel filter.

501
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:12,280
Speaker 1: It could probably use a lot of things. I also

502
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:15,919
Speaker 1: think about vehicle grounds when it doesn't start, all right,

503
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:18,840
Speaker 1: let's make it simple. When it doesn't start, what's it missing?

504
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 1: Spark or fuel?

505
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:20,560
Speaker 8: You know?

506
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:22,639
Speaker 1: Can you get to a spark plug and pull a

507
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:26,480
Speaker 1: plug and you know, check it for spark. Do you

508
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:29,440
Speaker 1: own a vault meter? Jim, I'm sorry, Mike.

509
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:32,439
Speaker 3: Yeah no, no, not really. I'm not real good with

510
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:35,520
Speaker 3: you know, mechanical part of it. But another person told

511
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:36,920
Speaker 3: me it might be a fuel pump.

512
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:39,080
Speaker 1: Could be sure it could be a fuel pump too.

513
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:40,879
Speaker 1: I mean where I'd want to go. But you know,

514
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:43,959
Speaker 1: let's eliminate what we can eliminate, all right. You know

515
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:45,960
Speaker 1: I put a vault meter on the positive side of

516
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:48,399
Speaker 1: the coil. Do I still have positive at the coil

517
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:50,919
Speaker 1: when it dies? This is an old truck. It's forty

518
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:54,160
Speaker 1: years old, right, forty forty forty five years old something

519
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:56,280
Speaker 1: like that. Yeah, it's you know, so there's a lot

520
00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 1: to consider here. Yeah, you do you mow the lawn

521
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 1: mic Do you have a snowblower? Do you motive?

522
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:01,719
Speaker 9: Law?

523
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:02,120
Speaker 2: Yeah?

524
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:04,879
Speaker 1: Okay? When your lawnmower, when your lawnmower doesn't work, how

525
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:06,439
Speaker 1: do you diagnose her? Do you just take it to

526
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:06,840
Speaker 1: the shop?

527
00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:11,320
Speaker 3: No, taking a part?

528
00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:14,720
Speaker 1: See, yeah, right, you'll take it apart. Right. Well, you

529
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 1: know this is a big this is a big lawnmower. Brother,

530
00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:19,840
Speaker 1: all right, so you know it's it's why doesn't it run?

531
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 1: It's spark, it's fuel or mechanical, just like your lawnmower.

532
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:27,439
Speaker 1: It's not any different, all right. Uh, you know, if

533
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:30,399
Speaker 1: you if you want to see what it's doing, you know,

534
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:32,280
Speaker 1: spend a couple of bucks. You got an auto zone

535
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:33,040
Speaker 1: in the neighborhood.

536
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:35,560
Speaker 3: Well I'm not in a neighborhood.

537
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:38,480
Speaker 1: Well, when you when you get when you get in

538
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:40,359
Speaker 1: the neighborhood, go to your local auto zone by a

539
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:42,840
Speaker 1: spark tester, a spark tester. And this is a whole

540
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:45,040
Speaker 1: lot more accurate than the g let's put a screwdriver

541
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:48,080
Speaker 1: in the spark plug wire and tested theory. All right, Uh,

542
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:50,000
Speaker 1: you know I could. I could explain why, but I've

543
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:53,040
Speaker 1: only got fifteen minutes left in today's show. But basically

544
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:56,720
Speaker 1: the idea is that no, no, no. Basically, Basically, a spark

545
00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:59,320
Speaker 1: tester puts the ignition system under the same amount of

546
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:02,160
Speaker 1: duress and as it would be if it was operating

547
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:05,160
Speaker 1: the engine. All right, so let's get a spark. Let's

548
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:07,760
Speaker 1: get a spark tester. You can set it to different gaps.

549
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:10,480
Speaker 1: There's a there's a black version with an alligator clip.

550
00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:11,960
Speaker 1: You put it the ground, you put the plug wire

551
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:14,479
Speaker 1: on the other side. It's got to have spark, you know,

552
00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:18,040
Speaker 1: It's just that simple. If it doesn't run and you

553
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:22,040
Speaker 1: have spark, then it's probably a fuel issue. If it

554
00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:24,680
Speaker 1: doesn't have spark, and I would tell you to run

555
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:26,720
Speaker 1: these tests when the engine is working, so you know

556
00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:30,320
Speaker 1: what good looks like, so then you'll know when it's bad. Right, Okay,

557
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:32,440
Speaker 1: that and you know how to hook up the tester.

558
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:34,520
Speaker 1: You get familiar with your equipment. I don't care whether

559
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:37,639
Speaker 1: it's a complex labpscope or a simple spark tester with

560
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:41,200
Speaker 1: two connections. If it has spark, it's fuel. If it

561
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:44,120
Speaker 1: doesn't have spark, why doesn't it have spark? Let's go

562
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:47,200
Speaker 1: find the ignition coil. Does the ignition coil have power

563
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:49,560
Speaker 1: at the positive side? Does it have signal at the

564
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:52,040
Speaker 1: negative side? This is a V eight. This is a

565
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:56,240
Speaker 1: V eight Dodge truck. Yeah, okay, so you know, is

566
00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:58,840
Speaker 1: there a problem inside the distributor? They were notorious for

567
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:02,760
Speaker 1: pickups and transistor plates back in the day. It's you know,

568
00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:06,760
Speaker 1: it's a hard diagnosis based on age and location. Just

569
00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:08,600
Speaker 1: just the thought of something that old park near the

570
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:12,040
Speaker 1: salt water scares me a little. Uh you know, it's

571
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:12,480
Speaker 1: it's you.

572
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:16,000
Speaker 3: Know, well, you know, and then we gotta do well, then.

573
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:18,480
Speaker 1: We got to think about the rust and corrosion, uh,

574
00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:21,320
Speaker 1: you know, and what kind of an effect. But basically,

575
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:24,080
Speaker 1: it's a lawnmower to me, brother, all right, it's I've

576
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:25,520
Speaker 1: got to know what. I've got to know what it's

577
00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:28,440
Speaker 1: missing spark or fuel. I'm going to rule out mechanical.

578
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:32,040
Speaker 1: I don't think this is an intermittent mechanical problem. And

579
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:35,560
Speaker 1: I've only seen three in my career that we're intermittent.

580
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:37,600
Speaker 1: When one of those was a broken valve spring, and

581
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:40,960
Speaker 1: that's a whole longer conversation. So all right, but that's

582
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:42,200
Speaker 1: that's where I think you're headed.

583
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:45,480
Speaker 3: All right, Hey Ron, thank you very much for everything.

584
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:49,640
Speaker 1: You're very welcome, sirve My pleasure, Yeah, my pleasure. Jeez,

585
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:51,240
Speaker 1: I guess I shouldn't tell them I'm coming to the

586
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:56,240
Speaker 1: Outer Banks in August. Don't tell anybody. Uh, I'll bring

587
00:29:56,280 --> 00:30:00,160
Speaker 1: my toolbox. Well I could, you know I could? So

588
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 1: let's do this. Let's do this quick piece of email.

589
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:07,520
Speaker 1: This comes to us from Danny in North Carolina. Hey, Ron,

590
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:10,040
Speaker 1: I've got an older jeep Wrangler that I'm looking to

591
00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:12,400
Speaker 1: upgrade and change the differentials around. I'm wondering if you

592
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:14,720
Speaker 1: can offer me any ideas and options. I know I

593
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:17,400
Speaker 1: originally came with a Dana. I still like my Dana rear.

594
00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 1: Did that come with a Dana Danny? I'm not sure

595
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:22,719
Speaker 1: about that, but it was probably a Spicer product, and

596
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:24,960
Speaker 1: he wants to know what are your thoughts. I'd like

597
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:27,200
Speaker 1: to increase it. I'd like to go out four wheeling

598
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:29,760
Speaker 1: with it this summer. Well, summer's already here and I'm

599
00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:31,800
Speaker 1: just getting to this late. No, summer's already here, Danny,

600
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:34,560
Speaker 1: we're behind you know what I would definitely put something

601
00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:38,680
Speaker 1: Data or Spicer in it. Obviously. I do remember reading

602
00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:43,960
Speaker 1: something that Dana was coming out with performance differentials as

603
00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:45,600
Speaker 1: of well a couple of years ago. They're out there

604
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:48,240
Speaker 1: a while now, and I mean, listen, who doesn't love

605
00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:49,720
Speaker 1: a Dana rear. And if you want to just get

606
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:51,760
Speaker 1: something bigger and stronger, stay with what you got. It

607
00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:54,080
Speaker 1: works all right. You can get out and just Google

608
00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:56,760
Speaker 1: search data or go to the Spicer website and look

609
00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:59,280
Speaker 1: it up. I know they have their performance differentials listed

610
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:01,520
Speaker 1: there and you can pick and choose from what you

611
00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:03,280
Speaker 1: want and then just go out to a local retailer

612
00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:05,560
Speaker 1: and get one. But by all means, I would I

613
00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:08,000
Speaker 1: would encourage you to do that. Listen, a Daana rear

614
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:11,520
Speaker 1: out of the factory is great. You know they're pretty solid.

615
00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:12,960
Speaker 1: But if you're gonna go out into the woods and

616
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:14,560
Speaker 1: stress it and looks like you're going to go do

617
00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:17,560
Speaker 1: some crawling, as you put later on in your email,

618
00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:21,440
Speaker 1: then you know, a stronger data Spicer product is definitely

619
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:23,320
Speaker 1: the way to go. And like I said, you will

620
00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:25,360
Speaker 1: find it online and I hope that does it for

621
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:27,280
Speaker 1: you when you get the jeep done. By all means,

622
00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:30,120
Speaker 1: send us a picture ron at Cardoctorshow dot com eight

623
00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:32,680
Speaker 1: five five five six zero nine nine zero zero run

624
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:34,360
Speaker 1: an ending in the car Doctor and we're back right

625
00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:52,040
Speaker 1: after this. Well, well, well here we go, right geez,

626
00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:54,320
Speaker 1: where does the time go? You know, here we are.

627
00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:56,280
Speaker 1: It's the end of the weekend, and you know, here

628
00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:58,479
Speaker 1: we are. The show's over already. I just it just

629
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:01,280
Speaker 1: it just seems like I started. Yeah, it's it's one

630
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:03,560
Speaker 1: of those unique things, right. You're in you're in order repair.

631
00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:06,480
Speaker 1: So Monday will come around and you know, you start

632
00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:10,800
Speaker 1: to build the week. You know, I've never believed that

633
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:13,920
Speaker 1: a repair shop exists on a day to day basis.

634
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:16,360
Speaker 1: It's you know, if you look at a typical schedule,

635
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:17,800
Speaker 1: at least in our shop, and I've see in a

636
00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:20,240
Speaker 1: lot of other shops too, where you know, Monday's the

637
00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:22,480
Speaker 1: build day. Monday's the day where you know you're doing

638
00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:24,880
Speaker 1: the basic services, the oil changes, the little things, the

639
00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:27,200
Speaker 1: odds and ends. But you're getting the week set up,

640
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:30,480
Speaker 1: all right. It seems as technology is growing more and more.

641
00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:33,800
Speaker 1: You know, Monday's your set up day, all right. Tuesday

642
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:36,920
Speaker 1: you're starting to get into it, all right, Tuesday's the

643
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:38,920
Speaker 1: day that you're taking the jobs From Monday, the bigger

644
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:40,920
Speaker 1: stuff you're pulling to the part parts have been ordered

645
00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:43,560
Speaker 1: and you're starting to make the repairs. Wednesday is the

646
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:46,800
Speaker 1: busiest day of the week, and then Thursday. By Thursday,

647
00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:48,760
Speaker 1: hopefully you've got a lot of those bigger jobs from

648
00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:51,640
Speaker 1: Tuesday done, and then Friday is clean up day. Fridays

649
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:53,800
Speaker 1: the day you bring in the bullpen. And you know

650
00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:56,280
Speaker 1: it's it's if you looked at a work schedule in

651
00:32:56,320 --> 00:33:00,160
Speaker 1: the average shop, I think that's successful. You know, it's

652
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:02,480
Speaker 1: it's a shape of a V, all right, it's you know,

653
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:04,960
Speaker 1: or it's an upside down V. It's a you know.

654
00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:06,840
Speaker 1: The point is that there's a rise in the middle,

655
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:09,160
Speaker 1: or there's a there's a there's a fall in the middle,

656
00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:13,120
Speaker 1: showing the amount of work being done, depending upon your perspective.

657
00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:13,600
Speaker 7: But it's a V.

658
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:16,080
Speaker 1: And I think that's the way to do it. You

659
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:18,920
Speaker 1: just can't. You just can't run flat out all the time.

660
00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:21,480
Speaker 1: You know, it's not good. It burns the shop out.

661
00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:23,520
Speaker 1: And it's it's you know, people are the most important

662
00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:26,400
Speaker 1: asset we have, never mind the tools and the knowledge

663
00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:28,480
Speaker 1: that we try to get. But you know, it just

664
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:30,800
Speaker 1: I just look at that and I you know, and

665
00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:33,160
Speaker 1: I think about like today, like where did the where

666
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:35,000
Speaker 1: did the two hours go today? Because obviously this is

667
00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:37,360
Speaker 1: our second hour. You know, some of you may only

668
00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:38,720
Speaker 1: know it as the first hour, but you know there's

669
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:41,280
Speaker 1: two hours of this every weekend, and you know, we

670
00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:45,080
Speaker 1: build this and this this enthusiasm comes again. So uh,

671
00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:46,720
Speaker 1: you know, it's just just crazy. Let me do a

672
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:48,640
Speaker 1: piece of email. This comes to us from James. Hey, Ron,

673
00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:50,520
Speaker 1: I can't get a straight answer from the net. I

674
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:53,000
Speaker 1: have a twenty ten Ford explore Eddie Bauer four by

675
00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:55,160
Speaker 1: four four leader. Do I need to add friction modifier

676
00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:59,320
Speaker 1: or the red differential when changing the fluid? I'm using synthetic, James,

677
00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:02,840
Speaker 1: it doesn't or whether you're using synthetic or conventional gear oil,

678
00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:06,840
Speaker 1: or what weight or viscosity the friction modifier is there?

679
00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:10,879
Speaker 1: If it is a posey traction rear axle, all right?

680
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:13,640
Speaker 1: And the easiest way to tell if you can't now, well,

681
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:15,960
Speaker 1: I shouldn't say the easiest, Well, the easiest way. The

682
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:18,240
Speaker 1: easiest way is up in the air vehicle in neutral,

683
00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:21,399
Speaker 1: Try spinning one of the rear tires. Does the other

684
00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:24,000
Speaker 1: one spin? Can you hold the other one while you're

685
00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:27,680
Speaker 1: spinning the one and they should both spin in the

686
00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:30,200
Speaker 1: same direction if they spin in opposite directions, or one

687
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:32,320
Speaker 1: will spin without the other. You don't need a friction

688
00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:36,240
Speaker 1: modifier because you don't have a posey lock or an

689
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:40,200
Speaker 1: one wheel drive differential. Now, I always encourage you, you

690
00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:43,320
Speaker 1: know what, get online, Go look at an information system,

691
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:46,040
Speaker 1: Go dive into all data for example, and look up

692
00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:49,399
Speaker 1: and see what they recommend. You know, just because there's

693
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:51,400
Speaker 1: a few vehicles out there where they want a friction

694
00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:54,160
Speaker 1: modifier and a non differential or I'm sorry, in a

695
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:57,680
Speaker 1: non locking rear axle for some reason for lubricity, for

696
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:02,040
Speaker 1: a lubrication requirement, but not the majority of them. But generally,

697
00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:04,080
Speaker 1: if one wheel turns and the other doesn't, that's an

698
00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:06,799
Speaker 1: open rear. No, you do not need a friction modifier.

699
00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:09,560
Speaker 1: It's a waste of time and money. I appreciate the question.

700
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:12,480
Speaker 1: I'm ron an Ady and the car doctor saying where

701
00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:15,640
Speaker 1: did it go? Till the next time. Good mechanics aren't expensive,

702
00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:16,840
Speaker 1: they're priceless.

703
00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:17,200
Speaker 7: See you
