Speaker 1: be about. Is I'm just trying to find the best

5
00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:09,760
Speaker 1: solution to the problems that just every time we fix one,

6
00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:12,560
Speaker 1: ten more problems come up because we're driving giant computers.

7
00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:18,319
Speaker 1: And that's really the name of the game. Day does

8
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:28,400
Speaker 1: not machine what Jesus the car Doctor. Listen, Sometimes the

9
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:31,360
Speaker 1: hardest problems are fixed by the simplest solutions. Welcome to

10
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:34,400
Speaker 1: the radio home of Ron and Nanian the Car Doctor.

11
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:38,880
Speaker 1: Since this is where car owners the world overturned to

12
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:43,520
Speaker 1: for their definitive opinion on automotive repair. If your mechanics

13
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:46,159
Speaker 1: giving you a busy signal, pick up the phone and

14
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:49,479
Speaker 1: call in the garage orders are open, but I am

00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:04,039
Speaker 1: that you and they go, now this is it? Hello

19
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:06,040
Speaker 1: and welcome Ronanindy and the Car Doctor. I found that

20
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 1: after many years that sound on radio is very, very important,

21
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:10,560

00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 1: is all about. And um, I've got a great opening

24
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 1: story for you if I can, just, Yes, Tom, what

25
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 1: was I just want to know what finger Tony pointed

26
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:23,399
Speaker 1: that you had, Um, he didn't. He just turned the

27
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:25,959
Speaker 1: button on. I saw that the mic went red. Doesn't

28
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 1: read me and go. I just want to make sure

29
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 1: he's not the Giants last week, you know. And I'm

30
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 1: trying to be nice today about the Giants because tomorrow,

31
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,040
Speaker 1: you know, tomorrow it will be the Mets, the Yankees,

32
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 1: the Jets and what's left of the Giants. Um, you

33
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 1: know now that they don't have Jason, Pierre Paul uh,

34
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 1: you know, and after they played Dallas, I have just

35
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 1: but you know what's gonna happen tomorrow? Tone talk to me.

36
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 1: I don't know. I I think the Giants that face value. Yeah,

37
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:00,120
Speaker 1: so that's there. You know, they're out, you know, well,

38
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 1: well know next week, next week's game will dictate whether

39
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 1: or not the tickets for the following week are gonna

40
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 1: be going like the Jets tickets at five bucks, apiece.

41
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 1: I don't think get that bad. I don't get that bad.

42
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 1: Giants do have a chance to make a wow car.

43
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 1: They said that Trump would never get elected either, so anything,

44
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 1: anything possible. So just but you know, if you want

45
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 1: my prediction, giants are gonna lose, bad, bad. So I'm

46
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 1: just I'm just trying to help. Okay, no problem, I'm

47
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 1: just trying to help you. No giants fanciers come knocking

48
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 1: on our doors. But you know, I'm just trying to help, um,

49
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 1: because that's really what this radio shows all about. I

50
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 1: love your Tony, so I have to love Tony. He's

51
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 1: a lot bigger than me. Um. Anyway, So let's see

52
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 1: what is it that I wanted to talk to you

53
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,080
Speaker 1: about this week? Could I tell you about the misfiring

54
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:45,919
Speaker 1: Ford pickup truck? I guess I could. Could I talk

55
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 1: to you about the Volkswagen water pump impeller. I think

56
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 1: we already had that conversation. Um. Could I talk to

57
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 1: you about the Toyota? Now I don't want to do

58
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 1: that either. You know what I want to do. I

59
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 1: want to kick the garage doors open right away. I

60
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,240
Speaker 1: got so many calls to sour Tom's saying, come on,

61
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 1: stop stop talking and start talking. Explain that one to me. Um,

62
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,519
Speaker 1: let's go and talk to Doug in New Rochelle questions

63
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 1: about a two thousand one Chevy Blazer and see what's

64
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 1: going on. I'll do my opening monologue a little bit

65
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 1: later this hour, Doug, Welcome to the car doctor, Sir.

66
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 1: How can I help? Oh? Thanks for taking my call.

67
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 1: Run appreciate that. Yeah, I've uh had this car up

68
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 1: the rope for almost a year. Decided to reregister it

69
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 1: and put it back on you know, the battery. He's

70
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 1: been dead. So I charged it up, gave it a

71
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 1: full charge, got the thing running, took it down to

72
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 1: my local guy, you know, to haven't inspected and it

73
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:34,399
Speaker 1: wouldn't pass the readiness emissions. Uh you know, yeah, right,

74
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 1: So what he told me to do is you have

75
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 1: to take it out and drive it. So I left

76
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 1: it overnight. He said it's gonna go u from a

77
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 1: cold start. I believe, I don't know if it's right

78
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 1: or wrong. Took it. I drove the car almost ninety

79
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 1: miles and I'm still getting all kinds of uh, you know,

80
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 1: no codes, you know, the improper codes. Okay, So so

81
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 1: driving it and driving it to run a drive cycle

82
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 1: are two different things. When when you drove it, Doug,

83
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 1: you know what was your average highway speed, so you

84
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 1: stayed there at a constant state of speed. How much gas?

85
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 1: How much gas is in the tank. Okay, so if

86
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:16,719
Speaker 1: the gas tank is full, if the gas tank isn't

87
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 1: between a quarter and three quarters of a tank, it

88
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 1: will not it will not run the evaporative emissions monitor. Alright,

89
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:29,840
Speaker 1: done conversation over period, all right. So that's the first thing.

90
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 1: So that that is a it has to meet preconditioned conditions,

91
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 1: all right. And on any car today that I'm aware of,

92
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:39,599
Speaker 1: I haven't seen one, or it doesn't qualify gas tank

93
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:41,719
Speaker 1: between a quarter and three quarters of a tank. Otherwise

94
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 1: a mission monitor will never run. Um yeah, it won't

95
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 1: pick it up. It will not run the monitor. Consequently,

96
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,159
Speaker 1: you know, we always love fixing, and I'll tell you

97
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 1: a trade secret. The industry loves to fix evaporative emissions

98
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:58,720
Speaker 1: faults on the little old ladies car that goes three

99
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 1: miles a day with a full with a full tank

100
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 1: of gas, because because by the time that car runs

101
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 1: the EVAP monitor, if it's a Ford. First of all,

102
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:10,839
Speaker 1: Fords are the worst because they won't run the EVAP

103
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 1: monitor below certain temperatures. So you fix an EVAP fault

104
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 1: and little ladies car in November. She won't know what

105
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 1: the things fixed until June, all right, because it will

106
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,159
Speaker 1: take that long to run out of gas or get

107
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 1: below three quarters of a tank. And they'll take that

108
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:26,280
Speaker 1: long before the weather warms up to the point where

109
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 1: she starts off and it's above thirty eight grades. Um,

110
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 1: so that's important. That being said, what monitors have not run?

111
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 1: Do you know? Yep? Because I have one of these

112
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 1: acton units and small one and it comes up. Let

113
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:45,360
Speaker 1: me see it comes up, misfires monitor is okay, Fuel

114
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 1: system monitor okay? Okay. Then it goes down to catalyst

115
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:54,599
Speaker 1: monitor I n C and complete right, where is it

116
00:05:54,800 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 1: h HTD catalyst whatever that means heated catalysts means it's

117
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 1: not applicable on that model that does not have a

118
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 1: heated cat monitor function? Go ahead, all right. Let me

119
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:09,720
Speaker 1: see EVAP system monitor in I n C. Right, it's

120
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:13,159
Speaker 1: incomplete because the gas tank isn't low enough and sec

121
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 1: A system incomplete. Right, it hasn't run secondary year pump. Okay,

122
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 1: And let me see this monitoring a right. Anything that's

123
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 1: an A we're not worried about. We're we're worried about

124
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:31,599
Speaker 1: the ones that are incomplete oxygen center okay, oxygen center

125
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 1: heat or incomplete, and the last one is dr SID

126
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:39,839
Speaker 1: A monitor is okay okay. The first So, so the

127
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 1: one I would the one I would start with is

128
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 1: I would try to get the O two heated circuit

129
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:48,160
Speaker 1: to work. That being said, first thing I would do

130
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:50,160
Speaker 1: is get the gas tank down below three quarters of

131
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:52,720
Speaker 1: a tank. That won't be a problem for me, all right,

132
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 1: So get it down below three quarters of a tank,

133
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 1: get it in the quarter to three quarter range, and

134
00:06:58,080 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 1: I would start up cold. I would take it out

135
00:06:59,920 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 1: to the highway. And you know, you may have to

136
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 1: do this when no one's around. One of the tricks

137
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:08,160
Speaker 1: I learned this year, in the last twelve months. One

138
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 1: of the things I've been doing lately is I will

139
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 1: put the car on cruise. I'll set up the fifty

140
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 1: five and put it on cruise because the car is

141
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 1: more capable of applying and maintaining a moderate fifty five

142
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 1: than my jerky foot. How long do you have to

143
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 1: hold that, you know, so it depends on the car.

144
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 1: Sometimes I'll sometimes I'll be out on the highway. My

145
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 1: highway ride will run anywhere from twelve to twenty four minutes, yeah,

146
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 1: fifty five. So you know it depends on where and

147
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 1: how I put my um uh my driving loop. You know,

148
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 1: if if we were at the shop, I would tell

149
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 1: you I got down Crests and I go out by

150
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 1: Guardian Angel Church, you know, all landmarks. To me, um,

151
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 1: I'm probably I'm probably five and a half six minutes

152
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 1: of city driving and then I get out to the highway.

153
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 1: It takes me roughly thirty five to forty five minutes

154
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 1: to do a drive cycle, depending upon the vehicle. So

155
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 1: let me ask you, a drive cycle doesn't necessarily have

156
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 1: to be like close to a hundred miles. Correct. No,

157
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 1: it's got nothing to do with the mileage. It's it's

158
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 1: it's all about conditions. The reason the reason the industry

159
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 1: says a hundred miles is because it's very hard to

160
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 1: pinpoint exact. And you know everybody wants a generic answer.

161
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 1: A hundred miles is a safe guess, but it has

162
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 1: to be it has to be a hundred miles under

163
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 1: under proper conditions. And you know there are there are

164
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 1: some cars, for example, manual transmissions won't won't run the

165
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:32,960
Speaker 1: monitor in fifth gear. It will only run in fourth

166
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 1: or vice versa, and somebody will say, well, you know

167
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:36,840
Speaker 1: I had it in fifth gear. Well yeah, but that

168
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,200
Speaker 1: car they want it done in forth for whatever reason, however,

169
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 1: the software manufacturer to meet ep A specs. Remember what

170
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:47,080
Speaker 1: a drive cycle is. A drive cycle is an average

171
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:50,960
Speaker 1: collection of driving habits and conditions as deemed by the

172
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 1: e p A, as deemed by the associations to put

173
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:57,560
Speaker 1: this stuff together to create that cycle of how things

174
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 1: should occur under what conditions, A collection of efforts if

175
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:04,840
Speaker 1: you want to think of it like that. All right, sir,

176
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 1: but you're on the right track. You're very welcome, and

177
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 1: I got another one for you next week. I call you,

178
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:13,439
Speaker 1: all right, you give me a call back. Let me

179
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:15,439
Speaker 1: know how this one does with its monitors. By the way,

180
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 1: if if you've got if you've got a chance, Doug,

181
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 1: if you've got a the ability to go look at

182
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 1: bulletin's take a look at GM bulletin double O double

183
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 1: O six oh four oh thirty three B. It's a

184
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:31,319
Speaker 1: nice long T s B. It's been out there a

185
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 1: better part of Oh, I geez, it's been out there

186
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 1: the better part of ten years. UM talks about I

187
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 1: AM Readiness as part of emissions inspection for GM vehicles

188
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:41,440
Speaker 1: and some of the things about conditions and so forth,

189
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 1: so it might help you out. Alright, Thank you very much.

190
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 1: You're very welcome, Doug. You have a good rest of

191
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:51,199
Speaker 1: the afternoon. Five zero nine zero. Run on any of

192
00:09:51,200 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 1: the Car Doctor coming back right after this? I bet

193
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:27,559
Speaker 1: you did, brought in eating the Car Doctor nine zero.

194
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 1: I have a question, Mr Ray. You know it's Christmas

195
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:33,840
Speaker 1: and I want to know why I haven't heard Snoopy's

196
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 1: Christmas yet in the Bumper Music because the Red Baron

197
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:38,679
Speaker 1: shot the record out of the air. We couldn't get

198
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:41,480
Speaker 1: it to play. That was really good, Thank you. That

199
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:43,960
Speaker 1: was I like that. So but you know it's not

200
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 1: Christmas until you hear Snoopy and the Red Baron. I

201
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 1: just want you to know that you're just not listening

202
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 1: to the right radio station. See I've heard it numerous

203
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 1: times this past week on Serious x M. Well I

204
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 1: can't afford serious x M. I I fixed cars for

205
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 1: a living. Let's let's go over and talk to Tony

206
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 1: in Illinois Triumph Tony Anthony, how can I help you, sir?

207
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:08,560
Speaker 1: Ron I am I'm a big fan of yours. I've

208
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 1: been listening to you for a long time, and I've

209
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:12,839
Speaker 1: never heard you laugh at one of your callers, and

210
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 1: so I hope I'm not the first of all. No, no, no, no,

211
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:17,560
Speaker 1: a trumpet. I remember this. Listen. I'll tell you my

212
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 1: triumph story. Dirty Ernie had a sixty nine Gt. Six

213
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:28,840
Speaker 1: plus in high school, all right, and we took it

214
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:31,839
Speaker 1: into auto shop and we tuned it up and got

215
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 1: it to work. And now in mahwaff if you ever

216
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:37,319
Speaker 1: get her out to Mahwa, New Jersey, there's a spot

217
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 1: in Mahwa in seventeen called the flats, and the tradition

218
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:45,440
Speaker 1: back then was to run the flats. So here's two

219
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:48,200
Speaker 1: wild eyed high school kids. We take Ernie's Gt. Six

220
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:51,239
Speaker 1: plus down the flats at two o'clock in the afternoon,

221
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 1: all right, when we were supposed to be in school.

222
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 1: And his mom's mom's not listening today, is she good?

223
00:11:56,800 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 1: And when the cop pulled us over, Ernie was doing

224
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:05,840
Speaker 1: a hundred thirty seven miles and he pointed his finger

225
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:08,960
Speaker 1: and he goes, what in that blankety blanket? And Ernie said,

226
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:10,960
Speaker 1: it's his fault. He tuned it, and I went, I

227
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:12,560
Speaker 1: don't know what I was doing, off, sir, I didn't

228
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 1: realize that I could get that much out of it.

229
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 1: But true story, really a true story, and we got

230
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 1: away with it because well that's a whole another story.

231
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 1: But yeah, um so, but yeah, it's you know what

232
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 1: triumphs just I mean, they were the car in the day.

233
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 1: You know what they used to give Corvette to run

234
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 1: for the money? Right, Um that's that's yeah, they really are.

235
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:38,960
Speaker 1: Um Uh. The only downside is Lucas makes it. Lucas

236
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:40,959
Speaker 1: made the electrical system and that's why the British drink

237
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:45,320
Speaker 1: warm beer because Lucas makes refrigerators. But other than that, um,

238
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 1: so what do you got here with the Triumph? I

239
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:51,160
Speaker 1: got a sixty four Triumph t R four that I

240
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 1: just had to have. I bought it four years ago.

241
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 1: I drove it home and uh parked it in my

242
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 1: garage and ron, I'm embarrassed to say, I have not

243
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 1: started it since then, and I'd like to start. I mean,

244
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 1: life happens. I got a young childhood home, so I

245
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,600
Speaker 1: wasn't able to spend the time on it. But now

246
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 1: I want to start driving it, and I'm what do

247
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 1: I do? I mean, I'm afraid to start it. It It

248
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 1: hasn't been started in four years. Okay, well I would

249
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 1: probably you know, how much gas was in the tank

250
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 1: or is in the tank. I'll be honest with you,

251
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 1: it's probably a quarter of a tank. But you know

252
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 1: that was four years ago. Want to put it in

253
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 1: So I thought I'd have to drain the game. Yeah,

254
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:31,320
Speaker 1: you'd have to drain the gas and and and actually

255
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 1: you might have to be you should be prepared. You

256
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:36,560
Speaker 1: might have to clean the fuel system. You know, ethanol

257
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 1: based fuel might have destroyed most of what's inside that

258
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 1: tank and any of the rubber components. And that's my

259
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:44,440
Speaker 1: biggest concern because as the as the ethanol breaks down,

260
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:47,319
Speaker 1: it can make an absolute mess of things. And I

261
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:51,719
Speaker 1: think before you started to pump dirt into those carburetors

262
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 1: um you know, at this point, to get them repaired

263
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:58,320
Speaker 1: or replaced, I think I would probably go for, you know,

264
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:01,840
Speaker 1: making sure that the fuel system tank is clean and

265
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 1: and and start there. Does that tank have a drain

266
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:06,679
Speaker 1: on it? I don't remember off the top of my head.

267
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:08,319
Speaker 1: I know some of them did and some of them

268
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 1: did not. Sure I would have no idea. Okay, if

269
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 1: there is a drain on it, I would obviously tell

270
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:16,320
Speaker 1: you to you know, drain it out and see what

271
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:20,000
Speaker 1: it looks like. If it's not and you have the ability,

272
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 1: you know, I don't think it's that difficult to pull

273
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 1: the tank. I would I would pull the tank on that,

274
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 1: just just to be cautious, because if memory serves me correct,

275
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 1: Are these what carburetors are on this? On this Tony?

276
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 1: Are they are these? There's two of them? I don't

277
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 1: they were s User Stromberg's. I'm trying to remember myself. Um. Yeah,

278
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 1: and you know, lots of little passageways and little you know,

279
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 1: openings the size of the eye of a needle and

280
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 1: things that, Oh boy, let's get some dirt and that. Um,

281
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 1: you know, that'll be fun. So you'll be going, oh, Santa,

282
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 1: here's what I want for Christmas. Okay, and it's it's

283
00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 1: it's it's about the size of a carburetor box. Um.

284
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 1: So you know, before you start well, you know, because

285
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 1: the issue is before you start pumping crut up into

286
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 1: the carburetors, let's make sure the source is clean. Uh.

287
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 1: You know, if this was an older Camaro with a

288
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 1: typical you know, Chevy big block, small block, Holley carburetor

289
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 1: or something, blah blah blah, blah blah, Yeah, who cares,

290
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 1: you know what, pour some fuel in it, drain the fuel,

291
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 1: app pour some fuel in it. If the carburetor needs

292
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:26,000
Speaker 1: to be rebuilt, it's easy to go through those. That's

293
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 1: another story. You've really got to be cautious and know

294
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 1: what you're doing. Now. Listen, you might be the one

295
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 1: guy that got lucky that you know, it's sad for

296
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:34,800
Speaker 1: four years and the fuel didn't break down far enough

297
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 1: and everything fires up just fine. But the fuel systems

298
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 1: are concerned. So you know that's number one. Number two.

299
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 1: All the fluids change, the coolant change, the break fluid change,

300
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 1: the trans fluid change, the rear change at all, all right,

301
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 1: and it'll it'll give you a pretty good idea of

302
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 1: what kind of condition everything is in after sitting, just

303
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:58,120
Speaker 1: because you can tell by looking at color and smell,

304
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 1: and you know how much moisture, how much you contamination

305
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 1: got to the fluid break fluid. You're not gonna be

306
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 1: able to tell you just you just want to do

307
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 1: a flush through its and it it should be dot

308
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:10,520
Speaker 1: for if memory serves me correct, So make sure you

309
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 1: get the right greater quality of break fluid. Okay, um,

310
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 1: Third thing before you go and start this, obviously a

311
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 1: fresh battery. But before you go and start this, you

312
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 1: want to hand crank it. Get something on the front

313
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:27,120
Speaker 1: of the crank bolt. I'm trying to remember if there's

314
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:30,120
Speaker 1: a crank bolt on a sixty four trumpet um, you know.

315
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:31,960
Speaker 1: But you want to find a way to hand crank

316
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 1: the engine over, pull the plugs out, maybe shoot some

317
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 1: oil in the cylinders, not a lot, you know, a

318
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 1: good old handy oil can a couple of you know,

319
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 1: one or two pumps, circulate some oil around the rings,

320
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 1: and then spin the motor over all right, first by hand,

321
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 1: then by electrical cranking it, you know, with coil disconnected.

322
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 1: Crank it until you crank it until you get oil pressure,

323
00:16:54,080 --> 00:17:00,920
Speaker 1: and then started. All right. Now, keep keeping mind the brakes.

324
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 1: The brakes may be locked. You may have to go

325
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 1: through and clean up rotors, depending upon where the car

326
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 1: sat and how it sat. But okay, you know, and

327
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:13,640
Speaker 1: then obviously you know the tires are four year old

328
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:16,159
Speaker 1: or they dry rotted. How old were the tires when

329
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:18,399
Speaker 1: you put it away. You've got to look at the

330
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:20,640
Speaker 1: date code on the tires, and you can easily enough

331
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 1: Google search, you know, date coding tires and figure out

332
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:25,520
Speaker 1: how old the tires are. I think the standard is

333
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 1: eight years. If the tires are older than eight years,

334
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:29,639
Speaker 1: might as well throw those out, regardless of how good

335
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 1: the rubber is. Um, I don't. I don't drive about

336
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 1: anything past its date code. I just don't take the chance.

337
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:37,760
Speaker 1: And um, you know that should get you going. So

338
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:39,960
Speaker 1: now listen. If you weren't able to copy all this

339
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 1: down Tony, if you go to Car Doctors Show dot

340
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 1: com sometime sometime tomorrow. If you go to Car Doctors

341
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:51,720
Speaker 1: Show dot com and click on podcasts, this this is

342
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:54,639
Speaker 1: our second hour. So if you go to hours, if

343
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 1: you go to hour two. Um, you know, we started

344
00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 1: this conversation about a quarter past the hours them we're

345
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:03,440
Speaker 1: about that, and and and bring it down to uh,

346
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:05,240
Speaker 1: you know, down down to the bottom of the hour,

347
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:07,359
Speaker 1: as we say in radio land. That's radio talk. Hey,

348
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:09,680
Speaker 1: let's do it at the bottom of the hour. Um,

349
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:11,560
Speaker 1: you know you'll be able to hear this conversation over

350
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:17,399
Speaker 1: and over again a classic car Yeah, I would, I would,

351
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:21,359
Speaker 1: Yeah in my mind, you know, um yeah, I think so.

352
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 1: And listen, it's you know what, do you enjoy it? Well,

353
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 1: do you think you'll enjoy it? Well, it only fits

354
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:32,920
Speaker 1: two people. So sometimes that comes in handy. Yeah, oh yeah,

355
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:35,399
Speaker 1: especially when you know, especially when you want to carry

356
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:37,239
Speaker 1: books around in the other seat. Sorry, I can't take

357
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:39,960
Speaker 1: you with me in the room. Hey you know it's listen,

358
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:44,440
Speaker 1: been there, done that. Um, you know, so it's like, yeah,

359
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 1: I'd like to take you, but you know, there's only

360
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 1: room for one in the car. Um. So that's just

361
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:50,960
Speaker 1: the way it works. Someday I'll tell you the story.

362
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:53,800
Speaker 1: You know, the hot Rods fifty five Chevy has seating

363
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:57,480
Speaker 1: for five people, not mine. I've only got seating for two.

364
00:18:57,720 --> 00:18:59,639
Speaker 1: And I have to like you a whole lot. So

365
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,359
Speaker 1: but um, that's a story for another day, Tony. I

366
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:04,040
Speaker 1: appreciate the call of good luck to you and yours

367
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:06,159
Speaker 1: out there Illinois Way, and good luck with the triumph.

368
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:07,960
Speaker 1: I'm run a name of the car doctor back right here.

369
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 1: The news that come out in the First World War,

370
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 1: the bloody red Baron was flying once more, all at commands,

371
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 1: ignored all of its men and called on stoopid do

372
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:25,960
Speaker 1: it again. Now it's Christmas. Holo, welcome Ron, any of

373
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:29,239
Speaker 1: the car doctor here at zero nine zero. You mean,

374
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:31,840
Speaker 1: all I have to do is ask for something. All

375
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:33,480
Speaker 1: I have to do is ask for something and it

376
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:36,480
Speaker 1: shows up. I'd like red jelly beans in the studio.

377
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 1: Let's see how you guys pull that out of your hat.

378
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 1: So thanks for voting. Tom. Okay, let's go and talk

379
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 1: to Sean Knoxville, Tennessee Dods. Some bad vibrations shown. Welcome

380
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:49,720
Speaker 1: to the car doctor, sir. Thanks Ron, I appreciate you

381
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 1: taking my car. Thank you. I'm very glad to be here.

382
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:53,520
Speaker 1: And let me tell you, my hearts go out, our

383
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:55,480
Speaker 1: hearts go out. Everybody down there your way. You're just

384
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:58,640
Speaker 1: about twenty miles from Gatlinburg, aren't you. Yeah, we're about

385
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:00,720
Speaker 1: twenty miles north. And uh, of course we had a

386
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:03,840
Speaker 1: lot of neighbors and friends had had the property loss,

387
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:08,160
Speaker 1: but nothing no life threatening things with the people I knew.

388
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 1: But it's been a tragedy for sure. Tough spots. So

389
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:14,000
Speaker 1: but um, yeah, listen, uh you know, we're we're we're

390
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 1: we're we're we're praying for you guys. So what can

391
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 1: I do for you today, Sean? Well, run, I have

392
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 1: got a nineties seven Dodge. It's a pleasure Way Class

393
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 1: b RV and it's on the hundred chassis and chassis.

394
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 1: I bought it in the summer about a hundred forty

395
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 1: five thousand miles. UM had a pre purchased inspection. They

396
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:35,880
Speaker 1: found a leak in the rear seal of the transmission

397
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:39,120
Speaker 1: that they repaired. UM and I drove it a couple

398
00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:42,600
Speaker 1: of thousand miles and noticed the vibration and uh, then

399
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 1: I realized that the same seal was leaking again. I

400
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:48,879
Speaker 1: took it back into the shop and they checked it,

401
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:51,480
Speaker 1: and they said that the seal was scored, and that

402
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:54,439
Speaker 1: they went went to find you know why the uh,

403
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:56,639
Speaker 1: quite a seal may be scored. So they ended up

404
00:20:56,640 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 1: replacing new you joints on the drive shaft. Actually took

405
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 1: the drive shaft and had it balanced and checked for

406
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:08,199
Speaker 1: true UM, check differential specs, and everything seemed to be

407
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:13,639
Speaker 1: okay UM, And they're kind of at the point where

408
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:15,600
Speaker 1: they don't really know what else to check. They said

409
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:17,879
Speaker 1: it maybe the tires. But the thing is, the frequency

410
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 1: of the vibration is uh, probably three times or four

411
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:24,280
Speaker 1: times faster than what I'm used to as far as

412
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:26,359
Speaker 1: if the tire was out of balance or out of ground.

413
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:31,080
Speaker 1: Let's go back to the seal leak, So, you know,

414
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 1: did they did they say anything that they change an

415
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:37,960
Speaker 1: output bushing or did they consider you know, I'm trying

416
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 1: to figure out why, you know, a seal gets scored.

417
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:42,399
Speaker 1: Why does the seal get scored? A seal gets scored

418
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:48,680
Speaker 1: because it gets overloaded, all right, and either either the

419
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 1: tip of the drive shaft, you know, the the the

420
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:54,879
Speaker 1: yoke that goes into the trans output is scored and

421
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 1: that tore up the seal, or the bushing in the

422
00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:01,320
Speaker 1: tail shaft of the trans can't support it. The seal

423
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:06,080
Speaker 1: doesn't support the drive shaft. The seal just seals. So

424
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:09,200
Speaker 1: you know why. And I've seen this before where everybody

425
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 1: will forget that there is not everybody, but you know,

426
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:15,399
Speaker 1: people will forget that there is a a collar or

427
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 1: bushing inside the trans tail shaft that supports it. So

428
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:22,920
Speaker 1: take your you know, take your thumb and fore finger

429
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 1: on one hand and make an oh, and then stick

430
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:28,120
Speaker 1: the index finger of your other finger the other hand

431
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:30,480
Speaker 1: into that hole and tighten up around it. So that's

432
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 1: supporting your index finger. Well, if the bushing is worn

433
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 1: now it's just kind of flapping around. Um. Also making

434
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:39,919
Speaker 1: a universal sign if you can, if you can, if

435
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:44,320
Speaker 1: you're a signer, UM about bad things. But um, you

436
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:47,200
Speaker 1: know it's it's sloppy and that's what choose up the seal.

437
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:51,200
Speaker 1: So the question comes back to how is the how

438
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:55,200
Speaker 1: is the bushing? That would be my one question. Second question,

439
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 1: they check the drive shaft for balance, and I've seen

440
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:03,680
Speaker 1: guys may this mistake? Are they sure it's straight because

441
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:07,840
Speaker 1: there's a difference. It's like a wheel, all right. They

442
00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:12,040
Speaker 1: supposedly checked it for being true and straight, and they

443
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:15,520
Speaker 1: actually rebalanced it. I took one weight off and put

444
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:19,439
Speaker 1: away at a different location, and then I would be curious, okay,

445
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:21,680
Speaker 1: because you know, and again a lot of this is

446
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:24,120
Speaker 1: seat of the pants stuff. If you feel like it's

447
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 1: faster than tire speed or different than tire speed, okay. Um,

448
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:32,480
Speaker 1: My next thought would be, what if you took a

449
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:35,080
Speaker 1: host clamp, got a one ounce wheel, wait, and put

450
00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:36,960
Speaker 1: it at one end of the dry shaft or the other.

451
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:42,280
Speaker 1: Can you change the frequency or the vibration? Can you

452
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:44,560
Speaker 1: affect it or do you you know, do you create

453
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 1: a whole new um uh event? And if you do,

454
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:50,879
Speaker 1: then you know you're on the wrong path. But if

455
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:53,600
Speaker 1: you can change it or affect where it occurs at

456
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:59,439
Speaker 1: different speeds, different loads, maybe it's still in the dry shaft. Okay, okay, okay.

457
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:01,280
Speaker 1: And you know I'll sit there and I'll play with

458
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 1: a one ounce weight and you know, I'll clock it

459
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:05,760
Speaker 1: around the shaft at one end or the other and

460
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:08,080
Speaker 1: and you know, uh, you know, two host clamps, so

461
00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:09,719
Speaker 1: two host clamps and a one ounce weight or two

462
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:12,000
Speaker 1: host clamps and a two ounce weight, whatever you want

463
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 1: to try and play with and then work your way

464
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:16,439
Speaker 1: down and I'll clock it around, you know, you know, uh,

465
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:19,720
Speaker 1: twelve three six nine, working my way around, putting the

466
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:22,600
Speaker 1: weight on different points, just to see what it does. Um.

467
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 1: You know, back in the old days when we were

468
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:26,720
Speaker 1: hot rotters and we we we modified something and we

469
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:28,879
Speaker 1: couldn't afford to get somebody to balance the drive shaft,

470
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:34,560
Speaker 1: you know, we would we balanced it by by experimentation. Um.

471
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:37,919
Speaker 1: You know, those are those were the days. Uh, you know,

472
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:42,120
Speaker 1: So that's on my mind. Last you talk about tires,

473
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:45,439
Speaker 1: I'm I'm guessing your suspect of the tires, but but

474
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:51,040
Speaker 1: you're not sure. Um, well, it has really inexpensive Chinese

475
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:53,159
Speaker 1: tires on him, and that that was what was on

476
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 1: it when I bought it. So I've just not replaced

477
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:58,119
Speaker 1: it and I mean, it's it's it's it's easy to

478
00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:01,000
Speaker 1: pick on the tires. You know, it's easy to sit

479
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:03,479
Speaker 1: there and say ah um, but you're kind of like

480
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:05,440
Speaker 1: you're you're you're sort of playing the game I play

481
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:07,919
Speaker 1: every day. If this doesn't fix it, what I do next?

482
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:10,640
Speaker 1: And I always, I always, I always play that game

483
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:15,240
Speaker 1: when I'm dealing with something up too expensive and difficult

484
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:18,720
Speaker 1: to source. Um, you know, so I always ask myself

485
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:20,760
Speaker 1: that question. I asked the customer that, listen, we can

486
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 1: go here, we can try this. If this doesn't work,

487
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 1: are you going to be happy with the result if

488
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:26,240
Speaker 1: I tell you now we have to go and do this.

489
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:28,240
Speaker 1: I don't like to guess. I like that, you know,

490
00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:30,479
Speaker 1: I like to think ahead. Thinking doesn't cost me anything,

491
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:33,639
Speaker 1: right right, you know, I definitely like the vehicle. You know,

492
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:35,240
Speaker 1: it has a lot of value as far as being

493
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:37,240
Speaker 1: a you know, an RV versus just an old van.

494
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 1: Everything else is against good shape and it's something I

495
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 1: want to, you know, just get it to where it

496
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:45,159
Speaker 1: doesn't vibrate when I'm down the road. You know, what

497
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:47,280
Speaker 1: if you what if you rotate the tires around, does

498
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:50,879
Speaker 1: that change anything? Yeah, I'll have to try that. Actually

499
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:54,000
Speaker 1: they put it up on jacks fans with the rearaxle,

500
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:56,120
Speaker 1: and the accelerated it up to the speed and could

501
00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:58,359
Speaker 1: get the vibration with the tires off the ground. So

502
00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 1: that me to kind of indicate an unsprung problem. And

503
00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:06,439
Speaker 1: then um, you know this does and and this won't.

504
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:10,160
Speaker 1: But sometimes you get into harmonics, you know, vehicle harmonic, Shaun,

505
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:12,440
Speaker 1: what if you what if you play with tire pressure,

506
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 1: just playing with tire pressure, change anything. I'll have to

507
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:19,320
Speaker 1: try that one other point on there. It actually was

508
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 1: most noticeable when that there was no I wasn't accelerating

509
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:26,640
Speaker 1: or decelerating. If I could get to a point where

510
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:30,280
Speaker 1: it's really neutral torque on that drive shaft or on

511
00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:34,040
Speaker 1: the on the drive train, uh, it would get more

512
00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:38,320
Speaker 1: noticeable by a significant amount. Interesting. So it's it's it's

513
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:41,680
Speaker 1: it seems like lord on the drive shaft affects it. Yeah,

514
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:43,760
Speaker 1: it seems like it reduces it when there's when it's

515
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:48,240
Speaker 1: under torque, either from acceleration or deceleration. I'd look at that, um,

516
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:51,119
Speaker 1: you know, I'd look at that yoke, make sure that

517
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:53,240
Speaker 1: yolk is good. I'd make sure the joints are good.

518
00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:55,280
Speaker 1: Just because they put joints in. It doesn't mean they

519
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:57,159
Speaker 1: did it right. I'm not picking on it. I'm just

520
00:26:57,240 --> 00:27:01,360
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, you know, it's it's when we look

521
00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:03,199
Speaker 1: at everything the obvious, when we when we when we

522
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:05,160
Speaker 1: look at everything, we'll source it out and figure out

523
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 1: what's left. Um. Just just to be sure. Hey, by

524
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:09,840
Speaker 1: the way, before I let you go down there in

525
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:13,040
Speaker 1: Knox Fill a way, they still got a Calhoun's down there. Yeah,

526
00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:15,800
Speaker 1: there's Calhoun local chain here. It's really good. Yeah, it's

527
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:17,959
Speaker 1: really good. Yeah. Back back a million years ago when

528
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:19,679
Speaker 1: I did TV down there, I did some work for

529
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:22,840
Speaker 1: scripts over there at d I Y and um. They

530
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:24,320
Speaker 1: used to at the end of the day it would

531
00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:26,119
Speaker 1: be uh. They yelled at me the first day, they

532
00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:27,920
Speaker 1: threw me out because I started cleaning up and driving

533
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:29,639
Speaker 1: a little golf card around with the garbage truck over

534
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:32,000
Speaker 1: the trash compactor. They didn't they didn't appreciate that a

535
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:33,879
Speaker 1: whole lot um. So they gave me a credit card.

536
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:35,320
Speaker 1: They said, you go over to Calhoun's and you get

537
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:37,679
Speaker 1: yourself something to eat, and uh, you know that was

538
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:39,400
Speaker 1: those were the days. That was a lot of fun,

539
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:41,840
Speaker 1: me and carpenter Bob So But yeah, Calhoun's is where

540
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:45,160
Speaker 1: it's at. So Sean listen. I appreciate the conversation. And um,

541
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:46,639
Speaker 1: if I can do anything else for you, you let

542
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:49,000
Speaker 1: me know. And uh, prayers go out to everybody down

00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:50,280
Speaker 1: to take your calls and answer your question. Let's go

555
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:53,480
Speaker 1: and talk to Norman from Queens, New York. Norman, welcome

556
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 1: to the car, doctor, sir. How are you? Thank you?

557
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:59,600
Speaker 1: Thank you Ron. I've been listening to you for years

558
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:02,960
Speaker 1: and your advice has been right on. I couldn't even

559
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:08,040
Speaker 1: thank you enough. I can go back to my sixty

560
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:11,240
Speaker 1: four Volkswagen, and I had three hundred thousand miles on

561
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:14,040
Speaker 1: it before I got rid of it. I had eight

562
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:17,720
Speaker 1: Crown Victoria with over two hundred thousand. Now I have

563
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:22,320
Speaker 1: a two thousand and ten RAV four with forty thousand

564
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:25,600
Speaker 1: now I'm retired. How many miles? But the question comes

565
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:29,120
Speaker 1: in listening to you every week, how long do these

566
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:33,640
Speaker 1: car manufacturers think that people keep their cause before they

567
00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 1: won't be parts to fix it? Because following your advice,

568
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:42,880
Speaker 1: I go overboard oil change every two thousand, transmission fluid

569
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:46,720
Speaker 1: change I do every other year. I had all the

570
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:51,280
Speaker 1: fluids changed. The car is immaculates, nothing wrong, and it

571
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:54,920
Speaker 1: just keeps going right and it is perfect. And if

572
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:58,040
Speaker 1: everybody were to just lock in and listen to what

573
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:02,920
Speaker 1: your advice is, it's seems common sense fluids have to

574
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:07,160
Speaker 1: be changed. The question I also have is with all

575
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:10,400
Speaker 1: the sensors that are located in these cause these days

576
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:15,240
Speaker 1: computer arized, why don't they and Genia's get together and

577
00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:21,320
Speaker 1: devising method of actually analyzing out the fluids for its consistency,

578
00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:25,480
Speaker 1: its quality, it's quantity, and what state it's in. So

579
00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:27,880
Speaker 1: not only do you have to change the oil, but

580
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:31,840
Speaker 1: it can actually say hey, chemical reactions going on. It's

581
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:34,800
Speaker 1: too far. This car has to have the oil change,

582
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 1: transmission change, radiator fluid change, brake fluid change, that the

583
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:42,160
Speaker 1: sense that should pick it up before it even comes

584
00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:45,120
Speaker 1: close to doing any damage. Well, because I think, I

585
00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:47,160
Speaker 1: think a monitoring system like that, you know, that's what

586
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:49,880
Speaker 1: they're trying to do with these you know, recommended oil

587
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:53,360
Speaker 1: change interval lights and there's oil life left and and

588
00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:55,840
Speaker 1: so forth. But you know what you're talking about, the

589
00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:58,920
Speaker 1: idea of it would cost money. And listen, it's it's

590
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:02,640
Speaker 1: making car is a big money game. It's it's not

591
00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:04,840
Speaker 1: like it was back in the twenties and the thirties

592
00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:08,000
Speaker 1: and the forties, when you know, the Dodge Boys were

593
00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:11,200
Speaker 1: building cars and when uh, you know, the the the

594
00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:14,480
Speaker 1: engineers at Chrysler, Walter P. Chrysler among them were guys

595
00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:16,520
Speaker 1: that had pride and what they did and so on

596
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:18,400
Speaker 1: and so forth. It's a different it's a game now.

597
00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:20,400
Speaker 1: It's it's it's it's no, it's a different game now.

598
00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:22,640
Speaker 1: It's just it's just big, big business. How long will

599
00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:26,240
Speaker 1: the car last? Sometimes I think tuesday um based on

600
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:29,480
Speaker 1: what's what's available in terms of componentry, but what's gonna

601
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:33,560
Speaker 1: what does the car in now is the electronics? You know,

602
00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:36,960
Speaker 1: it boggles my mind. Everybody is so hot on all

603
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:40,320
Speaker 1: the new muscle cars. For example, Okay, a new Corvette,

604
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:42,800
Speaker 1: go buy a new Corvette. You can spend seventy to

605
00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:45,680
Speaker 1: a hundred thousand dollars on a new Vetta zero six whatever.

606
00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:47,880
Speaker 1: Blah blah blah. It's all hot to trot. It's great

607
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:52,920
Speaker 1: when GM says no more computer chips. You've got a

608
00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:56,160
Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollar flower pot for your front lawn. And yeah,

609
00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:58,120
Speaker 1: I know that somebody's gonna be able to come up

610
00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:00,120
Speaker 1: with a computer that's gonna allow that car to on,

611
00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:05,320
Speaker 1: But at what costs? And and and that's that's the problem.

612
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:09,600
Speaker 1: And I think that car companies today are looking towards

613
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:12,000
Speaker 1: the future. Listen, I think somewhere in the bowels of

614
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:15,880
Speaker 1: these companies ten fifteen years out, twenty years out, they

615
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:18,640
Speaker 1: know what we're going to be driving, or what's gonna

616
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:22,880
Speaker 1: be driving us more appropriately, all right, the problem is

617
00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:25,560
Speaker 1: somebody in the think tank. And this is my black

618
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:28,760
Speaker 1: helicopter conspiracy Norman. So don't don't take it, don't take

619
00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:31,000
Speaker 1: it to heart, all right. I think somebody in the

620
00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:34,160
Speaker 1: think tank says, listen, we're gonna put everybody into self

621
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:37,680
Speaker 1: driving cars. We could do it tomorrow. The problem is,

622
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:41,600
Speaker 1: what do you do with all the mechanics snap on trucks,

623
00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:44,239
Speaker 1: mac tool trucks dealer text? What do you do with

624
00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:46,240
Speaker 1: all the people you're gonna be putting out of work

625
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:48,960
Speaker 1: because those cars won't break like this current crop in

626
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:51,000
Speaker 1: generation of cars? And what do you do for the

627
00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:53,840
Speaker 1: uniform drivers that you don't need to deliver uniforms anymore?

628
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:54,920
Speaker 1: And what do you need? What do you do with

629
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:59,240
Speaker 1: the sandwich shops? The car that changes in the car

630
00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:04,720
Speaker 1: will transform the country and the economy, and nobody wants

631
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:07,240
Speaker 1: to talk about that, but it will, It has and

632
00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:09,800
Speaker 1: it's going to continue. How long will the car last?

633
00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:12,520
Speaker 1: As long as the government allows it to? All right,

634
00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:15,560
Speaker 1: sir feeling My feeling run is that you keep the

635
00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:18,200
Speaker 1: car as long as you can afford to keep it going.

636
00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:22,840
Speaker 1: Obviously makes sense to do it within also asking NARTI

637
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:26,560
Speaker 1: engineers thinking a person whos going to keep a cock

638
00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:29,600
Speaker 1: at ten years? In that ten year period, it's going

639
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:32,080
Speaker 1: to cause so much money to keep it going. Yes,

640
00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:34,280
Speaker 1: but the problem is they want to they want to

641
00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:36,960
Speaker 1: keep it that ten years. But the problem is they're

642
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:39,080
Speaker 1: looking at cost. They want you to buy another one,

643
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:40,480
Speaker 1: and they're trying to get you out of that car

644
00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:42,480
Speaker 1: in four to five years so that you keep the

645
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:44,760
Speaker 1: factories going, you keep the workers working, and the company

646
00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:47,440
Speaker 1: keeps making money to develop technology for that twenty year

647
00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:50,000
Speaker 1: plan or thirty year plan. Norman, I appreciate the call.

648
00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:51,920
Speaker 1: Do me a favor. Call me back in two weeks.

649
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:53,720
Speaker 1: I'd like to do this a little earlier in the era.

650
00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:56,400
Speaker 1: We can have a long conversation about this and we'll

651
00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:57,800
Speaker 1: be glad to pick it up where we left off.

652
00:33:57,840 --> 00:33:59,680
Speaker 1: I'm on any of the car Doctor coming back right

653
00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:29,560
Speaker 1: after the I'm diving. That's welcome back, aren't they in

654
00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:31,080
Speaker 1: the car Doc. Let's real quick. It over to Bob

655
00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:33,200
Speaker 1: in Atlanta. Bob, welcome to the Car Doctor, sir, I've

656
00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:36,759
Speaker 1: got three minutes. What's going on all? Hey, Ron, Well,

657
00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:39,239
Speaker 1: I got this, uh my first performance car. So it's

658
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:43,239
Speaker 1: a Corvette. And then, uh, the tires are balded. So

659
00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:44,800
Speaker 1: I said, what do I gotta do for the tires?

660
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:47,800
Speaker 1: What's my big box? And they sold me some summer

661
00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:50,160
Speaker 1: tires and said it would be great for a performance.

662
00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:53,799
Speaker 1: My question is it's not somewhere anymore so, and I'm

663
00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:55,759
Speaker 1: in Atlanti, so it's not it's not freezing, it's not

664
00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:59,760
Speaker 1: freezing rain. But what kind of performance or safety issues

665
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:04,000
Speaker 1: that I consider as I'm bringing these summer tires into winter.

666
00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:05,840
Speaker 1: I don't think you know what. It depends on what

667
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:08,600
Speaker 1: exactly they are. UM, and part of this is trial

668
00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:10,960
Speaker 1: and error at seat of the pants stuff. UM. As

669
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:13,799
Speaker 1: far as what you can expect, I would say that,

670
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:15,719
Speaker 1: you know, as long as it is a d O

671
00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:19,160
Speaker 1: T approved tire, UM, you know that it's it's it's

672
00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:21,880
Speaker 1: really meant for the road, that you'll probably be okay.

673
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:25,000
Speaker 1: I can't imagine, you know, listen, if if you got

674
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:27,120
Speaker 1: ice in Atlanta like you did last year, and the

675
00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:29,360
Speaker 1: whole city came to a halt, it doesn't matter what

676
00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:31,719
Speaker 1: we put on this thing. Um. You know, So that

677
00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:34,960
Speaker 1: doesn't matter as far as you know, if you get snow,

678
00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:37,440
Speaker 1: it's you're You're not likely to write you don't do

679
00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:39,359
Speaker 1: you guys ever get stuck on your way, I can

680
00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:42,040
Speaker 1: I can dodge that. It's not a daily driver. But yeah,

681
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:45,200
Speaker 1: you know, I mean short of that, you know, your

682
00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:47,239
Speaker 1: biggest problem is going to be the summer tire isn't

683
00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:49,280
Speaker 1: gonna grip as well in the cold on a cold

684
00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:51,840
Speaker 1: on a cold, hard road versus a soft, you know,

685
00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:54,879
Speaker 1: supple road. Um, you know that being said, I would

686
00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:56,600
Speaker 1: just be aware of the limits of traction that you

687
00:35:56,680 --> 00:35:58,920
Speaker 1: might haven't. Just take it easy during those cold weather months.

688
00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:00,719
Speaker 1: It's not gonna it's not gonna pay for you to

689
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:03,600
Speaker 1: switch and put on a different tire. If if, if, if,

690
00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:07,040
Speaker 1: that's what you're thinking. Um, I can't see that expense.

691
00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:11,440
Speaker 1: I think that's unnecessary. Does that make sense? Okay, alright,

692
00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:12,680
Speaker 1: so thank you very much. You have a good rest

693
