37
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 1: this radio show is all about. Quick couple of pieces

38
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 1: of information before we kick open the doors. A couple

39
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 1: of weeks ago, we had a gentleman call up with

40
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 1: a fifty five or fifty six to Soto I think

41
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 1: it was, that had a generator issue not charging. Gotten

42
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 1: a lot of email about that. Everyone wanted to know

43
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 1: what the outcome of that was and the outcome was

44
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 1: that when he remember he said he had the generator rebuilt.

45
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 1: When he had it rebuilt, the rebuilder put two same

46
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 1: size or incorrect size studs for the field and the

47
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 1: armature terminal post on the generator, so the wires at

48
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 1: the generator were reversed and it blew up the regulator

49
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 1: in the car. Um But that was the end result

50
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:28,640
Speaker 1: of that, and that's why every time you take the

51
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 1: generator out, took it down to the rebuilder, the rebuilder

52
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:33,360
Speaker 1: tested it, it charged, put it back in the car.

53
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 1: It wouldn't charge. It wasn't wired correctly. More importantly, it

54
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,360
Speaker 1: was a result of the rebuild the rebuilder and rebuild

55
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 1: it correctly and put because they put two different size

56
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,640
Speaker 1: posts on there, so you kind of can't interchange it. Well,

57
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 1: somehow they managed to interchange it and nobody noticed it

58
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 1: that the post were a different size, the wrong size.

59
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 1: That used two smaller posts I believe it was, and

60
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 1: naturally smaller fits into larger and it worked. So that

61
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:57,359
Speaker 1: was the end result of that. But anyway, I just

62
00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 1: wanted to get that out there, and I appreciate all

63
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 1: the inquiries. Let's kicked the garage doors open. Let's go

64
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 1: over and talk to Tim and Flint Michigan and some

65
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,359
Speaker 1: comments and questions about tires. Tim, Welcome to the car doctor, sir,

66
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:08,639
Speaker 1: how can I help? Hello? Good good, talk to you

67
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 1: on a break light switch on this Oay Silverado. Long

68
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 1: story short. I went to O'Reilly's got one. It worked

69
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:18,119
Speaker 1: better than the dealer, perfect good, good, good good. Yeah,

70
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 1: I remember this. The break lights were coming on by themselves,

71
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 1: right right, you're sticking on and I got a dealership

72
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 1: item and uh opposite there weren't coming on. So okay,

73
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:32,920
Speaker 1: I'm ra risk the aftermarket when good O'Reilly is actually

74
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 1: lifetime warranty and uh for Penny's you know, and uh

75
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 1: there no problems and you see. And that's the thing

76
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 1: you have to love about O'Reilly Oto parts in that

77
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 1: you know they've got they're one of the few. They've

78
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 1: got good people behind the counter. They know what's going on,

79
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 1: and they're able to offer programs and they know what

80
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 1: parts work. It's it's it's just really amazing. We had

81
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 1: a as a quick as side, we had an A

82
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 1: C delco ignition switch about a year ago that replaced

83
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 1: because of slopping us in the tumblers, and it never

84
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 1: really worked quite right. In my mind, I'm going, well,

85
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 1: it's it's, it's, it's it's got to be a good part.

86
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 1: It's a Delko And a couple of weeks later, swapped

87
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 1: it out, put another one in and did the exact

88
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 1: same thing when out and got an aftermarket piece. Problem solved.

89
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 1: Cars fixed. Uh, you know, you start to wonder sometimes

90
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 1: when the o's can't make it right, you start to

91
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,480
Speaker 1: worry about how's the aftermarket gonna do it? And yet

92
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 1: they do while you're the proof of it. So I'm

93
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 1: glad it worked out for you, Tim. What can I

94
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:31,159
Speaker 1: do for you today? Yeah? Maybe, you know, maybe, and

95
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what they have to Um. You know,

96
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 1: we get a lot of phone calls talking about the

97
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 1: future and where's that where's the future of this industry

98
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 1: gonna be? And when will the change come? And it's

99
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 1: all tied to economics. But let me tell you, if

100
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:45,839
Speaker 1: the aftermarket auto industry disappears, you don't have to worry

101
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 1: about World War three. It's over. Uh, you know, there

102
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,039
Speaker 1: there will be no country left. Because people don't realize

103
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 1: how deep and how involved the auto industry is in

104
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 1: the economics of this country. So um, just a big deal.

105
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 1: Hang out a second time. Let me say hi to mom. Hi, Mom.

106
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 1: Mom's walking past the studio window. She's waving high to everybody.

107
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:05,280
Speaker 1: She doesn't understand. Yeah, you have to talk radio. Is

108
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 1: sound on radio is important? Yeah, she's waving hello. Anyway,

109
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:14,160
Speaker 1: let's I gotta, I gotta, I gotta visit her in

110
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,599
Speaker 1: studio today, Tim, What can I tell you? So? What

111
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:18,040
Speaker 1: can I do for you? Sir? What else we want

112
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 1: to on the same truck, oait Silverado um kicking hunter

113
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 1: for old drive. When I bought it, had good tires

114
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:28,039
Speaker 1: on it, Cooper Discover and you know they're fine, they're safe.

115
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:30,040
Speaker 1: I checked them out and at haul of Campro it's

116
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 1: a little little travel trailer about pounds. So I'll put

117
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 1: some airbags on the back and everything does perfect. I'm

118
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 1: very happy with everything. But I knew there was a

119
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 1: butt here. Go ahead, but all right. So I walked

120
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:46,040
Speaker 1: in through the dealer. When I'm buying this switch, I'm

121
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:48,839
Speaker 1: looking at these trucks and the nine pound tour rating

122
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 1: basically a eight basically same thing I got. I had

123
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 1: got nine pounds. Wow. And I looked down at the

124
00:05:56,360 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 1: tire as a passenger tire. Now I am old Scutts

125
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 1: a few years old. I'm old school. I was grazed

126
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 1: up with the excelow tire and the load range. You

127
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 1: gotta have this, you gotta have this to haul and

128
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 1: pull and all that. In the Salem like man, I said,

129
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:13,040
Speaker 1: do you these trucks have passinger tellers on it? Now?

130
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 1: You see? Yeah, it's well, we got nine thousand pound tory.

131
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 1: How is that working? Is? Ah, you don't need to

132
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,679
Speaker 1: like extralow teriers no more then passion ones are fine?

133
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:23,159
Speaker 1: Uh is that? I mean? I know you're not a

134
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 1: tire stop. But so they're rewriting the laws of physics, alright,

135
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 1: I don't get it. So in their universe, time travel

136
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 1: does happen, and and back to the future is really

137
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 1: just a family vacation to them. But you know it's

138
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,720
Speaker 1: it's the laws don't change, all right. You know it's

139
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,040
Speaker 1: in the sense that, yeah, I'm an extra load guy,

140
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 1: I'm a load range e guy. And there's nothing worse

141
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 1: than somebody on the side of the road with a

142
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 1: trailer with a tire failure because the tire was improper

143
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 1: for the vehicle. You know, one of the things. One

144
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:59,159
Speaker 1: of the things I don't understand is I want somebody

145
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 1: to give me a clear your rating of gross vehicle

146
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:05,480
Speaker 1: weight rating g v w R. All right, because I

147
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 1: look at this and I tried reading the stat You know,

148
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 1: down here in Bergen County, New Jersey, the county cops

149
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 1: always have the landscapers pulled over on the side of

150
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 1: the road. And it's because the registration says it's rated

151
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 1: for this much weight, but the truck can only carry

152
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 1: that much weight, and the tires that are on the

153
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 1: truck are somewhere between the two. And nobody can give

154
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 1: me a clear explanation of you know, you're telling me,

155
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 1: so you know a truck that's registered fourteen thousand pounds

156
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 1: g VW alright, you're telling me my understanding is the

157
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 1: weight of the truck plus the load is good up

158
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 1: to fourteen thousand pounds. And then some people say, well, no,

159
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 1: it's it's it's the weight of the truck, fully loaded,

160
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 1: plus the towing capacity of the trailer that you attached

161
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 1: to it described fully loaded, right, described fully loaded? Is

162
00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 1: it three tund well do you have do you have

163
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 1: two three pound guys in there? And then is the

164
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 1: bed filled with, you know, sacks of marbles or is

165
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 1: the bed filled with sacks of pillows? What's fully loaded?

166
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 1: And I listen, I think you're right. I think the

167
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 1: guy in the dealership is incorrect. I think that you

168
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 1: know until I see it in writing. One of the

169
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 1: smartest things I heard I've heard this year, and it's

170
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 1: it's smart things I've heard in a long time. I

171
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 1: give credit to Pierre Respo. We were over the Technician

172
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 1: Service Training seminar two weeks ago, broadcasting live, and I

173
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 1: loved what Pierre said at the end. I said, what

174
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:35,520
Speaker 1: does it take to be a technician today? What would

175
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 1: you tell the youngsters up and coming? And I've applied

176
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,680
Speaker 1: that in my own thought process and things outside the

177
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:43,960
Speaker 1: automotive world. Pierre said, you gotta be like a two

178
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:47,840
Speaker 1: year old. You gotta ask why, And you know, you've

179
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:50,439
Speaker 1: got to ask why. Why are we putting passenger raided

180
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:53,960
Speaker 1: tires which only have a certain load capacity on a

181
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:57,840
Speaker 1: on a vehicle that has a g VW of somewhere

182
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 1: between eight and I don't know, ten thousand ounces twelve

183
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 1: thousand pounds depending on the vehicle. Makes no sense, makes

184
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:06,559
Speaker 1: absolutely no sense. And then you still look at prices

185
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:10,319
Speaker 1: in the ex load or e load or whatever, only

186
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:16,079
Speaker 1: a more right, big deal, right where's and the safety

187
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:18,959
Speaker 1: factor one of the things. You know. I'll tell you

188
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 1: a quick story, just you and me. Right. So I'm

189
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:23,720
Speaker 1: having dinner with my two other kids the other night

190
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 1: and we were talking about something and one of them

191
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:28,320
Speaker 1: brought up the third little Innanian who wasn't there, and

192
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:30,960
Speaker 1: they said, you know, Dad, she really thinks she said

193
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 1: the other day she told us that you're actually pretty smart.

194
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 1: She just doesn't want to tell you, because you just

195
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 1: know things about life. You know, as you get older,

196
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 1: your kids kind of tell you that you're you're you're

197
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 1: smarter than they want to let on. And one of

198
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 1: the things I always say is the road is a

199
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 1: very unforgiving place and you you only have to learn

200
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 1: this lesson once. Try sitting on the side of the

201
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:53,200
Speaker 1: road with a bad tire or a flat tire or

202
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:56,200
Speaker 1: blown out tire, and you could have saved yourself that

203
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 1: aggravation by spending the extra hundred bucks or the extra

204
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 1: two hundred bucks. What's your what's your safety? What's your

205
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:08,440
Speaker 1: what's your time worth? And and we're losing we've lost

206
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:10,200
Speaker 1: sight of that it's not that we are losing. We've

207
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 1: lost sight of that. And along with that next sentence

208
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 1: behind that as you got that hundred in your pocket, right,

209
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:20,080
Speaker 1: that's right, and you know it's and And one of

210
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 1: the biggest fears I have of getting stuck on the

211
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 1: side of the road isn't when is somebody going to

212
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 1: come in and get me? Will I still be alive

213
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:29,680
Speaker 1: when they do? Because the way these people drive today,

214
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 1: you know, the shoulders, the shoulders like the sixth lane. Um,

215
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 1: you know, on a four lane highway, you've got two shoulders.

216
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 1: It's like the sixth lane, depending upon which side you're on.

217
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:44,720
Speaker 1: So semis for fifteen years. That's scenes and stuff. Yeah, yeah,

218
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 1: you've you've you've been around, right. I appreciate the comments

219
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 1: and the conversation. Brother. It sounds like we grew up

220
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 1: in the same generation. And uh, I'm proud to catch

221
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 1: among the car doctor nation. So uh enjoy your show.

222
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 1: I learned a lot, Thank you, sir. You take good

223
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 1: care of you of a good rest of the weekend.

Speaker 1: Thank you. Zero zero running any of the car Doctor.

225
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:10,599
Speaker 1: I'm coming back right after this. What this car is automatic,

226
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 1: it's systematic, it's hid dramatic. What's greased lightning? Hey, welcome

227

Speaker 1: up and we're seeing it again, increasing numbers again. I

232
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:39,440
Speaker 1: don't know where it's going, but uh, like they said

Speaker 1: but I'm on my way. Anyway, Let's get over and

235
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 1: talk to Charlie Atlanta, Georgia and see what's going on

236
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 1: with this four D echo boost. Charlie, how's things down

237
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 1: at Lanta Way? How's that highway? You guys have some

238
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 1: problems down there now? Thank God for that? So well

239
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 1: matter if the car gets good fuel on him, You're

240
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:02,439
Speaker 1: not to understand there's lots of traffic jams down around

241
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 1: that neck of the woods. Year. Yeah, So what can

242
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:08,520
Speaker 1: I do for you, sir? Well? A friend of mine

243
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 1: up in Maine bought a Ford pickup, had fifty thousand

244
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:16,200
Speaker 1: miles on it, probably two years ago, maybe three, and

245
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 1: he's put another fifty on it. And he told me

246
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:21,600
Speaker 1: he was in the last year. When he first started,

247
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:23,960
Speaker 1: he was getting twenty two miles to the gallon. He's

248
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 1: down to seventeen now, and he takes care of it.

249
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,440
Speaker 1: He doesn't abuse it, and he went and maintains it well.

250
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:33,199
Speaker 1: And I was listening to your show. I drive around

251
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:35,560
Speaker 1: the country and I can't remember exactly where I was,

252
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:38,960
Speaker 1: but he was talking to a couple of gentlemen about

253
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:42,560
Speaker 1: a problem, some kind of a cleaning that had something

254
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 1: I had to be cleaned, or a filtering system or

255
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:48,320
Speaker 1: something possibly on these equo bus and I just could

256
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 1: not remember what it was, so I thought I'd call

257
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:53,960
Speaker 1: it again and if you could remember what that, Lord

258
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 1: bring day. Are we talking about um Berryman fuel system

259
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 1: cleaning product? Is that? Is that where we're talking about

260
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 1: about carbon deposits in the engine and g d I

261
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 1: systems and the way that they get they build up carbon,

262
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:15,359
Speaker 1: because that's what an eco boost system is. Um Gasoline

263
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 1: direct and carbon carbon is a huge issue in today's engines,

264
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 1: and it's it's kind of like the quiet killer. You

265
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:23,719
Speaker 1: don't even know what's there, and then all of a

266
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 1: sudden you see drop off in fuel economy or performance

267
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 1: or both, or maybe it just doesn't idole as smooth,

268
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 1: and in a lot of cases it's carbon deposits, and

269
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 1: you know, you'll you'll look at history on the vehicle

270
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 1: and you'll find that the person has done all the

271
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 1: proper maintenance. They've you know, their their maintenance is in step.

272
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 1: They've they've you know, followed it to a t, and

273
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:49,080
Speaker 1: maybe they've gone a little bit overboard in terms of

274
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:52,079
Speaker 1: manufacturers recommended maintenance. And then all of a sudden, you

275
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 1: wake up one day and it's you know, it's got

276
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:56,840
Speaker 1: a little shutter to it or a little shake and

277
00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:59,560
Speaker 1: it's it's not as smoother as peppy as it once was.

278
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:02,960
Speaker 1: It's um you know, and in a lot of cases

279
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:07,319
Speaker 1: it can be traced back to carbon carbon deposit maintenance.

280
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:08,719
Speaker 1: I guess that's the right way to do it. Or

281
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 1: fuel system maintenance is the right way to say. It

282
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 1: is just got to become part of the every day,

283
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:17,080
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's got to become part of our

284
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 1: culture like Twitter and Instagram and listening to the car doctor.

285
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 1: It's just it's just that important, you know. So that's

286
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 1: that That's what I think we were talking about, and

287
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 1: the issue with g d I engines is that the

288
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 1: injector sprays right into the combustion chamber. It bypasses, it

289
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 1: bypasses the intakes, and now the problem becomes that you

290
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 1: know you're gonna attack it. One of the best ways

291
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 1: to attack it is you can you know, do a

292
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 1: do a through the rail injection cleaning and and and

293
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 1: clean the system that way. But you're not gonna get

294
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 1: you know, the intake valves. You're not gonna get the

295
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 1: intake runner. UM. So you want to start thinking about

296
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 1: doing maintenance to help the vehicle burn cleaner on a

297
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 1: regular basis. And one of that is is a tank

298
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 1: additive UM. And I think what we were talking about

299
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 1: that day was Berryman Berryman Products dot Com and there

300
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:14,800
Speaker 1: has technology and what that can do, and you know,

301
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 1: we've seen a lot of good results with that, and

302
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 1: that's probably where I would start. That's easy enough for

303
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 1: you to do or your friend to do. UM. You

304
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 1: know it's if they have an O'Reilly ooto parts near them,

305
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 1: get over to an O'reillyota parts. I know they carried

306
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 1: Berryman Fuel Products and pick up a can of the

307
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 1: Berryman fuel tank in tank cleaner and UM, pour it

308
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 1: in and go and down. You're looking for Berryman the

309
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 1: E R R Y M A N. Berryman fuel System Products. Okay,

310
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 1: and you know, like I said, you can find it

311
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 1: at O'Reilly ooto Parts. If you get out to oreilly

312
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 1: auto dot com, you'll see it listed there. And um,

313
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:57,480
Speaker 1: you know, I'm sure he's got an O'Reilly Auto Parts

314
00:15:57,480 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 1: near him and we can kind of go from there.

315
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 1: That at least it takes some of the simple things

316
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 1: off the list, you know, one of the one of

317
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 1: the other things that you may want to think about

318
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:08,520
Speaker 1: as a potential you know, g it's not getting the

319
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 1: fuel economy at once. Did if we were having a

320
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 1: conversation beyond carbon because clearly that's not the only thing

321
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:16,320
Speaker 1: that can cause an engine to lose fuel economy, but

322
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 1: on a vehicle with no fault codes, poor fuel economy,

323
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 1: you know, we start thinking about tire pressure or tires

324
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 1: properly inflated. Chances are they are in your friends case.

325
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 1: But the other thing we want to think about is

326
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 1: do we have a marginal thermostat, you know, and an

327
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 1: engine thermis stat can be off by as little as

328
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 1: six degrees and make all the difference in the world

329
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:39,800
Speaker 1: in terms of fuel economy. And that's why we start

330
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 1: talking about things like, you know, a STANT thermostat. We

331
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 1: like STANT as a as a direct replacement thermostat. It

332
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:48,800
Speaker 1: meets always specification. STANT makes a lot of the original

333
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 1: equipment thermostats in this country, and they've got some of

334
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 1: the better ideas as far as heat motors are concerned.

335
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 1: But replacing your thermostat on a on a regular basis

336
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:01,040
Speaker 1: or every couple of years, three or four years now

337
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:04,960
Speaker 1: isn't the worst idea either. Uh, you know we I'll

338
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:07,680
Speaker 1: tell you a funny story. We put we put a thermostat,

339
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 1: We had to change the thermostat and a Chevy Trailblazer

340
00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:13,640
Speaker 1: not too long ago, and um, she had the original

341
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 1: STAT in it didn't get a check engine light, but

342
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 1: had poor heat output. It was one of those right

343
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:21,200
Speaker 1: on the border of you know, it's good, but it's

344
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 1: not great type of thing. Put a STANT in it

345
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:28,120
Speaker 1: and change the thermostat, put it back together. She came

346
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:30,200
Speaker 1: in this week and she's telling me now, she's, um, well,

347
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 1: can I say this on Radio Tom She's getting hot

348
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:35,120
Speaker 1: flashes because the thermostat the car has got such good

349
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:38,120
Speaker 1: heat that, um, she's getting overheated all the time. I'm

350
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 1: not sure what she meant by that. But that was

351
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:42,760
Speaker 1: the issue. So, uh, you know, when I think STANT,

352
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:46,400
Speaker 1: I think, uh, you know, we're we're good. So more

353
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 1: information at stant dot com. But that's a that's a

354
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:52,480
Speaker 1: that's a true story, Charlie Nolay. So but those two things,

355
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:55,040
Speaker 1: I would look at Berryman and Stant and see what

356
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:58,879
Speaker 1: that's all about. All right, thank you very much. I

357
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:02,399
Speaker 1: do appreciate it. You're very welcome, cirned. Thanks for listening

358
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:04,400
Speaker 1: to us as you drive around this great country of ours.

359
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 1: We appreciate it very much. You take good care. Um. Wow,

360
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:11,680
Speaker 1: you know it's it's funny. You don't think this radio

361
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:14,800
Speaker 1: show is reaching anybody. And then somebody calls up and says, well,

362
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:16,440
Speaker 1: I drive around the country and I listened to you,

363
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:18,640
Speaker 1: and you wonder, really, where is the show? How far

364
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:20,480
Speaker 1: out does it really go? I was trying to explain

365
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:22,720
Speaker 1: that to somebody this week, and I just never know.

366
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 1: I know where I am most of the time, and

367
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 1: I know where I'll be when I get back from

368
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:27,400
Speaker 1: this break. I'm on an any of the car Doctor,

369
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:43,439
Speaker 1: don't go away? Welcome back. Why don't need the car

370
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 1: doctor taking you in and out of the danger zone?

371
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 1: Here repairing cars this afternoon at nine zero zero, let's

372
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 1: get over and talk to Anthony Freehold, New Jersey fifty

373
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:54,720
Speaker 1: and some questions about trouble coats. Anthony, Welcome to the

374
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:58,879
Speaker 1: car doctor, sir. What's going on? Good? What's cooking? Uh?

375
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:02,640
Speaker 1: My father's chuck four test two fifty four point nine

376
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:05,679
Speaker 1: in line six two wheel drive and I just did

377
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:08,440
Speaker 1: a heavyes get job on it about three months ago.

378
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:11,440
Speaker 1: Everything went well, and but these codes were present before

379
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:14,720
Speaker 1: and they're still president after. They're the P zero one

380
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:16,840
Speaker 1: seven one and the P zero one seven four lean

381
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:19,439
Speaker 1: on both banks. Right, This car has this, This vehicle

382
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:23,440
Speaker 1: has two oxygen sensors. Correct correct, okay, right, And that's

383
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 1: where they get. That's where they get because understand one

384
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:28,200
Speaker 1: seven one is lean bank, one one seven four is

385
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:29,920
Speaker 1: lean bank too. And you say to yourself, as the

386
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:32,959
Speaker 1: straight six two banks, um, we gotta have two oh

387
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:36,160
Speaker 1: two's in order to do that upstream before the cats?

388
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 1: So why did you do a head guess get just

389
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:42,920
Speaker 1: out of curiosity? Had three burnt intake valves that we're leaking.

390
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 1: I did a compression test, an elite down test, and

391
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:48,359
Speaker 1: he was having poor acceleration. And was you know, just

392
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:50,680
Speaker 1: wasn't riding right. So I did those tests and solve

393
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:54,159
Speaker 1: those problems and rebuild the head and through through it on.

394
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 1: There it's running great now. So now it runs good.

395
00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:59,720
Speaker 1: You just have this trouble code exactly and the passing

396
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:04,240
Speaker 1: stack and so right, So have you looked at fuel trim? Yeah,

397
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:07,040
Speaker 1: I've I view the fuel trim. I checked both with

398
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 1: my scan tool. Check both auctions censers. Both seem to

399
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:12,639
Speaker 1: be reading correctly. We're you know, bouncing back and forth. Um,

400
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:15,199
Speaker 1: the fuel trim. The thing that gets to me is

401
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:17,399
Speaker 1: it seems that let's say I have to start the

402
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 1: truck and I'll watch fuel trim. I won't touch the

403
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:22,520
Speaker 1: accelerator anything, just started, and the fuel trim acts looks

404
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:26,159
Speaker 1: pretty good. Sometimes we'll hover around four to five, you know,

405
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:29,399
Speaker 1: maybe six. It might start slowly creeping its way up.

406
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:33,400
Speaker 1: Now this is this is short term or long term,

407
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 1: short term because the long terms pegged that at twenty

408
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:39,120
Speaker 1: five on both banks. Alright, So so keep in mind

409
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 1: now what you're saying is we've got long term of

410
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:46,560
Speaker 1: twenty five plus that four short term, so you've got

411
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:51,679
Speaker 1: almost thirty fuel trim. Okay, alright, understand that you've you know,

412
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:54,840
Speaker 1: for every long term is a zero, short term is

413
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:57,520
Speaker 1: at zero. Long term moves the think of a think

414
00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:00,280
Speaker 1: of a peg board. Alright, long term moves the egg

415
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:05,119
Speaker 1: one hole over. Okay, so now you're one plus whatever

416
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:07,680
Speaker 1: short term is. So you're one long term plus four

417
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 1: short term to long term. So it's it's you you

418
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:13,439
Speaker 1: have to look at total fuel trim to decide short

419
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 1: term is what's going on right now this instant long

420
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:19,959
Speaker 1: term Somewhere along the way that short term climbs up

421
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 1: enough that it moves the peg. Always remember that. All right,

422
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:26,960
Speaker 1: So you've really got almost a total fuel trim on

423
00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:31,679
Speaker 1: each bank of thirty, which is excessive. Yeah, okay, so

424
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:35,880
Speaker 1: let's just think of it like this then. Um, it's

425
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:38,479
Speaker 1: if you if you start driving down the road, you know,

426
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:41,200
Speaker 1: thirty five miles an hour? Where does where does short

427
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:45,439
Speaker 1: term go perfect zero right right to zero? Did you

428
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:48,639
Speaker 1: did you reset cam? Did you reset to keep a

429
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 1: live memory when you did the head gasket? What kind

430
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:55,800
Speaker 1: of scan tool do you have? I just use uh

431
00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:58,640
Speaker 1: my cell phone with a with a bluetooth longle Yeah

432
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 1: you know, okay, so using a generic go b D

433
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:03,800
Speaker 1: two I can only clear the trouble coats as far

434
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:06,240
Speaker 1: as like you know, bi directional and I can you

435
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:09,239
Speaker 1: know back and forth with that? Can you can you

436
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 1: watch fuel trim on data stream yet? So let's let's

437
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:17,320
Speaker 1: do this, all right, Let's see if this works. Um

438
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:21,199
Speaker 1: engine off. Disconnect both battery cables unless you tell me

439
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:24,760
Speaker 1: you did this, tie bolt battery cables together for ten minutes,

440
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:28,880
Speaker 1: all right, Um, you know, just just you know, touch

441
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 1: them together. Use a jumper wire if you can put

442
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:32,639
Speaker 1: a you know, build a jumper wire. If you can

443
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:33,920
Speaker 1: get the well, I guess you can't get the radio

444
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:36,000
Speaker 1: check anymore. They don't exist, but back when they did.

445
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:38,560
Speaker 1: If you can find a ten on one watt resistor

446
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:40,840
Speaker 1: and make a ten on one wat wire so that

447
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:43,040
Speaker 1: we don't shock the computer as we drain it down,

448
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:47,640
Speaker 1: let's bleed down the memory alright. Uh, you know you

449
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:50,359
Speaker 1: may still have to do a cam reset because this

450
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:52,680
Speaker 1: could be a case that the fuel trim was affected

451
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:56,639
Speaker 1: by the valves that were burnt. You know, the reason

452
00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 1: you did the head where there could be a secondary

453
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:02,320
Speaker 1: problem here. Yeah, I mean I've I've checked for vacuum

454
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:04,560
Speaker 1: weeks like you wouldn't believe with a little procane you

455
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:07,600
Speaker 1: know watching the trims. I mean I've gone through all

456
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:09,639
Speaker 1: the you know, it's got a lot of hoses, all

457
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:12,719
Speaker 1: those cheap little chinzy plastic code. How does the how

458
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:15,440
Speaker 1: does the brake pedal feel? Braaktail is nice and strong,

459
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:18,439
Speaker 1: it does feel good. Booster, you don't think the boosters leaking?

460
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:22,400
Speaker 1: I was, I was watching the trim. What I disconnected

461
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:26,360
Speaker 1: the line from the booster and I plugged it just temporarily,

462
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:29,359
Speaker 1: and it didn't bring my fuel trins back down. The

463
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:32,480
Speaker 1: short term where I really noticed what happens is wrong. Like,

464
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:34,120
Speaker 1: like I said, if I started up a lot of times,

465
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:36,080
Speaker 1: it will be at a good level. But if I

466
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:39,960
Speaker 1: go take that thirty five drive for two minutes, three minutes,

467
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,399
Speaker 1: four minutes, whatever it is, and I'm watching the fuel trims,

468
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:45,439
Speaker 1: they're perfect. Once I stopped the car, let's say a

469
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:50,840
Speaker 1: red light, both short terms jump up to like after

470
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:55,960
Speaker 1: that drive. Okay, So so you do see a rose

471
00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:59,880
Speaker 1: and that's that's the moment when it gets triggered. So yes,

472
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:04,640
Speaker 1: something is we've got an intermittent Oh boy, um, we've

473
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:08,600
Speaker 1: got an intermittent vacuum leak here. How about have you

474
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:12,320
Speaker 1: gone through the charcoal canister? You know the events the

475
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 1: evap vent system. I mean, I as far as like

476
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:18,040
Speaker 1: putting cocaine by it and trying to get a leak

477
00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 1: from there. That's really all that's. How about disconnecting it.

478
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:26,000
Speaker 1: You don't need that to run the car. We know,

479
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:28,720
Speaker 1: we know, well, we know you're gonna set a fault code.

480
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:31,399
Speaker 1: Who cares? Uh, you know you can always clear it.

481
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:34,760
Speaker 1: But how about just trying to eliminate what you can't

482
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:37,879
Speaker 1: be you know what you what you what you can't see? Um,

483
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:41,359
Speaker 1: you know what you don't need connected to drive the car.

484
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:43,639
Speaker 1: You know, back in the day, if this had a

485
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:46,120
Speaker 1: vacuum modulator on the trans we'd start to think about

486
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:49,320
Speaker 1: a split in the vacuum line down there. But I

487
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:51,800
Speaker 1: don't think it did nineties six. I think this is

488
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:58,240
Speaker 1: an E four O D trans. Yeah. Yeah, there's no relator. Yeah,

489
00:24:58,359 --> 00:24:59,920
Speaker 1: so you know, let's start to think a little out

490
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 1: side the box. We've got to make this a base engine.

491
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:07,040
Speaker 1: We've got to start to think, you know, just back

492
00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:09,679
Speaker 1: to basics. If you've got propane, what do you how

493
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:13,760
Speaker 1: are you shooting the propane? Uh? It's about a three

494
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:16,199
Speaker 1: foot rubber line with a brake hoose on the end. Right,

495
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 1: A pinched metal too, I'm sorry, A break line, yeah,

496
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:21,919
Speaker 1: steel brake line and you pinched it down so you

497
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 1: can like pinpoint it. Yeah, no I didn't. It's just

498
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:28,439
Speaker 1: like the open orifice of Wow, do this, you know,

499
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:32,320
Speaker 1: walk over to a vice and you know, peeen the

500
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:35,120
Speaker 1: end of the brake line. Like I actually made mine

501
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:38,280
Speaker 1: into a v um. So it's a little more and

502
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:40,359
Speaker 1: I just opened one corner of it. But just make

503
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:44,040
Speaker 1: a little tiny orifice, you know, because if you make

504
00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:45,840
Speaker 1: it a flood, it's gonna come out and too much

505
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:49,080
Speaker 1: of a too much force if you if you stream

506
00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:51,240
Speaker 1: it down and sharpen the points, so to speak. So

507
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:53,520
Speaker 1: it's just a little tiny like the eye of a needle.

508
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:56,359
Speaker 1: It's it's a little more accurate, and you might be

509
00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:59,120
Speaker 1: able to pin something down, you know. I don't think

510
00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 1: it's going to be an into eight leak because you

511
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 1: sound pretty competent, and I can't imagine that you would

512
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 1: take it apart and put it back together and you know,

513
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:11,160
Speaker 1: not tighten something. Yeah, and to be both banks right right? Yeah?

514
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:14,480
Speaker 1: Uh you know and it is both banks yeah right,

515
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:17,879
Speaker 1: so yeah, but yeah, watching the scanner both banks definitely. Yeah.

516
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:19,879
Speaker 1: Now the other question I've got is do you have

517
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:23,320
Speaker 1: a way to disable which PIDs show up on your

518
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 1: scan tool at anyone given time? Can? Yeah? Can you?

519
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:32,040
Speaker 1: Can you? Okay? I would select, I would only graph, well,

520
00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:35,399
Speaker 1: I would graph long term, short term, both banks and

521
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:38,440
Speaker 1: engine RPM and load if I have a choice, because

522
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:40,960
Speaker 1: the less you graph the more, the faster you're gonna

523
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:44,560
Speaker 1: get a response, right, okay, all right? And I have

524
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:48,159
Speaker 1: a question, Tom, But I saw what about the e

525
00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:50,200
Speaker 1: g R valve? Could that be closed the problem? And

526
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:52,199
Speaker 1: they had that DPFC center. I heard that can be

527
00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:55,720
Speaker 1: problems DPS I don't do it with with the multimeter, And

528
00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:57,639
Speaker 1: it looked okay, well I don't see how the DPF

529
00:26:57,720 --> 00:26:59,360
Speaker 1: E would do it, and you should set a fold code.

530
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:01,240
Speaker 1: But the e g R could be leaking around the

531
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 1: stem and that can and that can surely cause it.

532
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:08,000
Speaker 1: So why don't we just why don't we just bypass it?

533
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:11,359
Speaker 1: Just well, not disconnected. If you disconnect that, the valve

534
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:14,120
Speaker 1: is still gonna be mechanically attached to the engine. Take

535
00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:16,879
Speaker 1: the valve off, and you know, go have a coke

536
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:18,960
Speaker 1: and cut the bottom of the can out and put

537
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:21,080
Speaker 1: that as a plate across the e g R temporarily

538
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 1: and make a gasket, make a seal, all right, and

539
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:26,399
Speaker 1: just just block it. I mean, you're gonna start setting

540
00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:28,199
Speaker 1: full coats for E. G R and ev APP and

541
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:30,040
Speaker 1: so on and so forth. You want to get this

542
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:32,000
Speaker 1: thing down to as basic an engine as you can

543
00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:34,920
Speaker 1: so that you have less to think about and less

544
00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:38,680
Speaker 1: systems to deal with. Al Right, Like I said, none

545
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:42,119
Speaker 1: of those is gonna cause a problem that's going to

546
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:44,080
Speaker 1: keep you on the side of the road, you know,

547
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:46,200
Speaker 1: for the sake of diagnosis. That's what we would do,

548
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:50,400
Speaker 1: all right, sir, You let me know what happens. All right, Anthony,

549
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:51,800
Speaker 1: thank you very much. Good luck to you, and keep

559
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 1: I think that's in South Carolina with a sixteen Toyota Corolla. Catherine,

560
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:27,800
Speaker 1: Welcome to the car doctor. How can I help? Yes, ma'am. Hey, UM,

561
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:29,879
Speaker 1: my car was in a hail storm a couple of

562
00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:33,200
Speaker 1: weeks ago for about twenty five minutes. He'll um poured

563
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:35,720
Speaker 1: down on my car and then I drove and I

564
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:38,120
Speaker 1: managed to catch up with the storm, so it sat

565
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:40,360
Speaker 1: through it again. And so now my car looks like

566
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:44,680
Speaker 1: a golf ball. And I was wondering what the best

567
00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:49,720
Speaker 1: UM way to repair it is. My insurance company good,

568
00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:51,200
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, But I was gonna ask about

569
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:55,000
Speaker 1: your insurance company. What they say? Oh, they they gave

570
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:57,760
Speaker 1: me an estimate and they had it down for body

571
00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:01,440
Speaker 1: repair work UM that they'd be replaced thing different pieces

572
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:05,280
Speaker 1: of my car. And obviously the quote was way low

573
00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:07,000
Speaker 1: and they're going to have to talk to the repair

574
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:10,160
Speaker 1: shop UM either way to actually cover the damage. But

575
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:12,880
Speaker 1: they said they'd cover it. But I didn't know if

576
00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:15,200
Speaker 1: it was better to replace the pieces of my car

577
00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:19,360
Speaker 1: because it's a UM model, or if I should go

578
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:21,640
Speaker 1: the route of trying to get like the paintless damp

579
00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:25,040
Speaker 1: removal where they can just pop the dents out. The

580
00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:27,840
Speaker 1: paintless dent removable stuff no, I under and I understand

581
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:29,560
Speaker 1: what you're doing. You we we we use that at

582
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:31,400
Speaker 1: the shop from time to time for people. We've got

583
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:33,960
Speaker 1: a guy that comes in, you know, when when I

584
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:36,920
Speaker 1: talked to when I talked to Claude, he he says,

585
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:39,400
Speaker 1: it really depends on the situation and my experiences. I

586
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:41,680
Speaker 1: watched him do it, and those guys are artists. It

587
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:44,200
Speaker 1: just depends on how bad it is, you know, And

588
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:47,320
Speaker 1: is there any paint work involved. I'm imagining a sixteen

589
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:49,440
Speaker 1: Toyota Corolla that looks like a golf ball, and I'm

590
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:52,239
Speaker 1: thinking panel replacement is probably the better way to go.

591
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:56,720
Speaker 1: You know. Here, here's my concern. My concern is is

592
00:29:56,760 --> 00:30:00,320
Speaker 1: the insurance company going to replace the body panel with

593
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:08,560
Speaker 1: offshore pieces or real Toyota parts? Question and and and

594
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:12,000
Speaker 1: that's yeah, and that's okay. I have to talk in

595
00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:16,120
Speaker 1: New Jersey contractual language. An insurance company in New Jersey,

596
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:18,160
Speaker 1: and I'm pretty sure it's the same in South Carolina.

597
00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:20,280
Speaker 1: But I say it like this to be accurate. An

598
00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:23,920
Speaker 1: insurance company in New Jersey. That is a binding contract.

599
00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:26,840
Speaker 1: You buy insurance in New Jersey. It's a contract between

600
00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:29,480
Speaker 1: you and the insurance provider that they have to restore

601
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:32,680
Speaker 1: the vehicle to to pre accident or in your case,

602
00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:38,360
Speaker 1: pre Heil storm condition. All right, so that definition, and

603
00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:40,680
Speaker 1: I know what's gone through the courts up here is

604
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:44,080
Speaker 1: that you know people have said, well, pre accident condition

605
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:48,880
Speaker 1: would be to use Toyota, Ford, Chevrolet and so on parts,

606
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:53,920
Speaker 1: not you know, a a CAP certified vendor, a CAP

607
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:57,200
Speaker 1: certified hood, which is the aftermarket off shore stuff. Now

608
00:30:57,360 --> 00:30:59,160
Speaker 1: some of that stuff is good, and you know some

609
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:01,360
Speaker 1: of it has its ace. If this was a two

610
00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:06,640
Speaker 1: thousand six Toyota Corolla, yeah, put an aftermarket Fenderana. Who cares? Uh,

611
00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 1: you know, what are you gonna get out of the

612
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:10,480
Speaker 1: car another five years? Four years? Um? You know you

613
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 1: should be fine. And I can understand the cost factor

614
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:16,200
Speaker 1: because you know, on an on an older car, if

615
00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:19,320
Speaker 1: you use an original equipment part, that replacement pieces get

616
00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:22,240
Speaker 1: to be so expensive. I've seen I've seen cars be

617
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:24,360
Speaker 1: total for some of the goofiest things in the world.

618
00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:27,600
Speaker 1: Uh you know, um, uh, we've got an we've got

619
00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:29,880
Speaker 1: a No. Seven camera in the shop right now. The

620
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:33,560
Speaker 1: young man slid into the curb. And you know, if

621
00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:35,880
Speaker 1: it goes through insurance, the car's worth seven grand. If

622
00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:39,600
Speaker 1: it goes through insurance, it's about hit. The car probably

623
00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:43,400
Speaker 1: get totaled because it's a curb slide, and it's it's

624
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:48,000
Speaker 1: approaching of value. So in your case, I would ask them,

625
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:49,760
Speaker 1: are we using you know, and you want to insist

626
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:52,400
Speaker 1: on this, Catherine, And I think it's I think it's

627
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:55,080
Speaker 1: your right. You're paying the insurance you've and if if

628
00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:58,200
Speaker 1: they're telling you that hailstone damage is covered, then the

629
00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:02,200
Speaker 1: conversation has to go to, yeah, the pre accident condition right.

630
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:04,840
Speaker 1: That means I want Toyota parts. I want to Toyota hood,

631
00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:08,120
Speaker 1: I want to Toyota deck lid. And you know they'll

632
00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:10,000
Speaker 1: probably I don't know what they'll do for the roof.

633
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:13,280
Speaker 1: I'm I'm you know there you might do paintless, didn't removal,

634
00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:16,080
Speaker 1: but you know you're gonna talk about taking the headliner

635
00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:19,520
Speaker 1: out of the car. Um you know it. Just watched them.

636
00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:21,680
Speaker 1: I can almost see this car. I hate to say it,

637
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:24,280
Speaker 1: I can almost see this car getting totaled. You know,

638
00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:27,880
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, this becomes five six thousand dollars. Well,

639
00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:30,720
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, because I actually went and I've

640
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:34,479
Speaker 1: had two different quotes, and the guy the repair shops

641
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:37,600
Speaker 1: said it would be almost seven thou dollars. Yeah, and

642
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:40,880
Speaker 1: I haven't even I haven't even seen the car yet. Um,

643
00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:42,320
Speaker 1: and you know what'd you pay for the car? And now,

644
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:44,400
Speaker 1: well let's see you how to pay twenty five for

645
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 1: the car? Um? Okay, so now it's worth fift so fifteen.

646
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:56,280
Speaker 1: They're saying it's seven. They haven't gotten started. If that

647
00:32:56,320 --> 00:33:00,960
Speaker 1: car goes to nine grand, they'll total it. I bet

648
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:05,719
Speaker 1: you just just just be aware. Just watch, all right, Uh,

649
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:08,600
Speaker 1: just watch. But you know it's it's a good conversation

650
00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:10,600
Speaker 1: if you've got a Dutch uncle insurance broker that you

651
00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:13,560
Speaker 1: can sit and talk to somebody. You know, this is

652
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:16,040
Speaker 1: that moment where you gotta call in that favor and say, hey,

653
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:17,840
Speaker 1: I want oe parts and I want to be I

654
00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:19,959
Speaker 1: want to be kept aware of if this car gets totaled,

655
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:22,560
Speaker 1: do I have the option of buying it back and

656
00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:24,600
Speaker 1: fixing it myself? And that can work out in your

657
00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:28,880
Speaker 1: favor if you do it right. All right, good luck

00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:39,040
Speaker 1: hail Mary. So anyway, zero, I almost have a personality

00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:55,960
Speaker 1: get try and squeeze this last call in Ron from Vernon, Connecticut. Yes, Ron,

667
00:33:56,000 --> 00:34:01,920
Speaker 1: how can I help? Well, I'll make a real quick Uh.

668
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:05,720
Speaker 1: I could fix anything years ago. You know, I thought

669
00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:10,359
Speaker 1: I could fix this. But Magnissan switch. Uh, you know,

670
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:12,640
Speaker 1: you gotta push it. It's on A two thousand twelve

671
00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:15,239
Speaker 1: four to escape. Uh. When I got it, knew it

672
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:19,680
Speaker 1: was fine. But now after the warranty went out, I

673
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:22,040
Speaker 1: push it. I gotta push it in and then turn

674
00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:25,360
Speaker 1: it on. Uh. If you just turn it on, I

675
00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:30,080
Speaker 1: won't do anything. You gotta push it in. And you know, Um,

676
00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:31,880
Speaker 1: I was going to take it apart and look at it.

677
00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:34,960
Speaker 1: I'm not much for lock. I mean, I used to

678
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:36,960
Speaker 1: fix everything in the car when they used to put

679
00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:39,400
Speaker 1: the engines in the right way. Now but put them sideways.

680
00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:42,200
Speaker 1: I don't I don't even look at the car no more.

681
00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:47,320
Speaker 1: But I brought it to the dealer and he wants

682
00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:51,160
Speaker 1: h eighty dollars to put a new switch in UM,

683
00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:54,839
Speaker 1: but it seems to me I could take it apart somehow. Well,

684
00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:57,000
Speaker 1: you know, you know why he wants fives to take

685
00:34:57,000 --> 00:35:00,359
Speaker 1: the switch apart or to new switch in is there's

686
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:03,640
Speaker 1: there's there's probably I believe there's gonna be programming involved

687
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:06,200
Speaker 1: that you can't do without a module, without a scan tool.

688
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:08,920
Speaker 1: So you're sort of yeah, it's listen, this is the

689
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:10,840
Speaker 1: price of cars. People ask me, how soon before the

690
00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:13,480
Speaker 1: technology gonna change? I don't know. It's when can we

691
00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:15,280
Speaker 1: afford it? And that's gonna be the real big question,

692
00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:18,279
Speaker 1: And that's that's part of the problem. So until next week,

693
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:20,000
Speaker 1: I'm on a nading of the car Doctor. The mechanics

694
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:22,000
Speaker 1: aren't expensive, they're priceless. See you
