27
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 1: thought about it from that perspective, but I thought it

28
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 1: also said that God realizes that there's too many broken

29
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 1: cars down here, and he's got to keep me around

30

00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 1: nine zero zero Motorhead Matt will call you back and

43
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:57,919
Speaker 1: put you in the Q for the next live broadcast.

44
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 1: We are live on the radio network Saturday afternoons two

45
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 1: to four pm Eastern Time, and we go out on

46
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:06,359
Speaker 1: the affiliates. You know, A couple affiliates take us live,

47
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 1: some of the affiliates take us on delay. And of

48
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 1: course there's podcasting available Car Doctor Show dot com. Um

49
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,359
Speaker 1: as always some changes coming to podcasting. Don't want to

50
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 1: talk too much about it, but just make sure you

51
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:17,920
Speaker 1: pay attention to Car Doctor show dot com in the

52
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 1: coming weeks for those changes, as we continue to try

53
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 1: and bring you a better product and more informative about

54
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 1: your automobile and what's going on. To that point. A

55
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 1: couple of posts up on Facebook this week. Some of

56
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 1: them were fun. Um I took black out this week

57
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 1: black two. I came in on Wednesday morning and said,

58
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 1: and I said, okay, So I pulled it out and

59
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 1: uh started up and I let it run for a

60
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 1: little bit and we went out for a cruise Wednesday

61
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 1: night and kind of annoyed everybody. And um, I found

62
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 1: out that a fifty s about pm second gear hard pull.

63
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 1: It's starting to break up, and I have a sword

64
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 1: of suspicion that the rev limitter, which is supposed to

65
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 1: be set much much higher, is acting up and creating

66
00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 1: an issue. So I've got to get deeper into the

67
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 1: confine of an MSD distributor coming up this week, so

68
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 1: we'll look forward to that and another post up there

69
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 1: on Facebook is really the one I want to talk

70
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:10,119
Speaker 1: about to you. Had a two thousand five Chrysler three

71
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 1: came into the shop, and I mean months ago. It

72
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 1: was like, you know, just get to it when you can,

73
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,479
Speaker 1: and we've been very busy. It's been a very busy

74
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:19,480
Speaker 1: first half of the year, and the last two months

75
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:21,279
Speaker 1: I've finally been able to put my focus on it

76
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 1: and and get into it because the car has just

77
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:25,840
Speaker 1: got a pile of problems and I think I might

78
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 1: have commented on some of them in previous shows. And

79
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 1: what's going on with this car? And the first is

80
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:35,480
Speaker 1: that it won't shift out of first gear. It's it

81
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 1: has ABS warning lights on. It has multiple codes in

82
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:40,839
Speaker 1: different areas, the predominant of which and the most of

83
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 1: which is the A B S problems. It's reporting problems

84
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:46,160
Speaker 1: with the left gear sensor, the right rear A B

85
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:49,159
Speaker 1: S sensor and it's reporting what appears to be a

86
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,839
Speaker 1: generic five hundred series code for the A B S

87
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 1: controller and speed signal. Sometimes knowing too much hurts you.

88
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 1: Because I knew too much. The customer informed me that

89
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 1: the cars sat for two and a half almost three years. Well,

90
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 1: they think it only sat for six months. When I

91
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 1: look at some of the indicators and the amount of

92
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 1: rust and the way the rotors rusted up and just

93
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:13,920
Speaker 1: general overall status of the car, I went, now, this

94
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 1: is like a two year sit. This car sat a

95
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:21,919
Speaker 1: long time. And knowing that, excuse your judgment, I gotta

96
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,839
Speaker 1: be honest, it makes you look in places that you

97
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 1: don't really need to look because it comes back to

98
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:30,360
Speaker 1: what my college professor has always said, keep it simple, sir.

99
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,360
Speaker 1: And while my case it was stupid, but I'm trying

100
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 1: to be polite, so you know, you can overthink the problem.

101
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 1: And what it really came back to was, look, you've

102
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 1: got an A B S system. You've got some sort

103
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 1: of a wheel speed signal or sensor coming out of

104
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:51,599
Speaker 1: each corner. Wheel speed sensor is creating the signal, and

105
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 1: what's missing now, Chrysler, And this is where I think

106
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 1: Chrysler missed the point about keep it simple. Stupid went

107
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:01,600
Speaker 1: to you used to be that an A B S

108
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 1: signal In a lot of cases, I wouldn't say all

109
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 1: the time it was a toothed ring. You ever look

110
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,279
Speaker 1: at the top of a castle, the fort it's it's

111
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 1: it's like notch. You know that got a high and

112
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 1: the low and high and the low. It's a square top, right,

113
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,720
Speaker 1: square wave top. That's what the scope pattern would look

114
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 1: like if you ever wave out certain things digital digital

115
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,600
Speaker 1: signal on, digital signal off that type of thing, and

116
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 1: that toothed pattern would go up against an A C

117
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,479
Speaker 1: voltage generator and it would generate an A C signal

118
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 1: would be like a pickup coil inside a distributor. Back

119
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:31,480
Speaker 1: in the seventies and the eighties, G. M. H. E.

120
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 1: I and Ford and so forth come to mind. Chrysler said, now,

121
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 1: you know, we've been doing it this way for so long,

122
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 1: and we've got a better way to do it. We're

123
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,279
Speaker 1: gonna put a magnet on the end of the axle.

124
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:44,360
Speaker 1: We're gonna get away with the tooth ring, get away

125
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:46,279
Speaker 1: from the tooth ring. We're gonna put a magnet there

126
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 1: and when the magnet passes over or under the censor,

127
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 1: and the north south end of the magnet pass and

128
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 1: the polarity changes. We're going to induce a voltage and

129
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 1: that's how we're gonna tell how fast the wheel's gone. Yeah,

130
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 1: because nothing will go wrong with that. I mean, what

131
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 1: could go wrong with that? Um let me tell you

132
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 1: what went wrong with that? So the car sat for

133
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:08,479
Speaker 1: two years. That I tell you it sat a long time.

134
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 1: And that's what you'll see in the pictures if you

135
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 1: get out to the Facebook page. Ron and any in

136
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:14,679
Speaker 1: the car. Doctor and I didn't see it the first

137
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 1: time through. I actually didn't see it until I got

138
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 1: the axle out of the car. I saw it on

139
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 1: the scope, but I didn't know what I was looking at.

140
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 1: And that's where I say, sometimes knowing too much can

141
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 1: can distract you. I just knew it wasn't right, and

142
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:30,239
Speaker 1: I said, the axle's gotta come apart. The scope pattern

143
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 1: was jumping, had a nice voltage it It put out

144
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 1: specs sort of not really, uh, you know, it was

145
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 1: a minimal voltage pattern. We want to see three and

146
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 1: this is what we're dealing with. We want to see

147
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 1: three to eight tenths of a vault d C voltage

148
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 1: and we were seeing less than a three day just

149
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 1: maybe it hit the three tenths. It was just the minimum.

150
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 1: It was just like enough but not You're like, wow,

151
00:07:56,840 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 1: is it? You know? Could it be any? Lazier reminded

152
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 1: me of a relative I used to know, and but

153
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 1: he's not here anymore. And I said, you know, there's

154
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 1: just something here because I'm watching this signal, go, why

155
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 1: is it bouncing like that? I gotta pull the axle

156
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 1: out well, to take the axle out of the rear

157
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 1: corner of this two thousand five Chrysler three. You know,

158
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 1: they may have had a short of of of a

159
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 1: BS sensors and tone rings back in two thousand five,

160
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:34,560
Speaker 1: they didn't have a shortage of nuts and bolts alright,

161
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:38,200
Speaker 1: one to three, four or five there were six nuts

162
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 1: and bolts holding between the sway bar link. The lower

163
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 1: ball joined the upper cross member the lower cross member.

164
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 1: I mean, the guy was nutting ball happy. He must

165
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 1: have thought the wheel was going to fall off. I'm

166
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:49,320
Speaker 1: not really quite sure why he did it, but everything

167
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:53,840
Speaker 1: is rusty and gnarly and cobwebs and spiders, and it

168
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 1: was like working on any monster's car, and you just

169
00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,320
Speaker 1: sit there and you say, why why does it have

170
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 1: to be so complicated? And you get the knuckle out

171
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:04,680
Speaker 1: or you get the you get the knuckle off, and

172
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:07,079
Speaker 1: the steel bolts going that hold the brake caliper on

173
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 1: going into the aluminum knuckle. You're trying to walk them

174
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 1: out and not gal anything, and you're tearing the aluminum

175
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 1: out of the knuckle and you're like, Okay, that's gonna

176
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:16,840
Speaker 1: get a hilly coiler a time circ going back in

177
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 1: because you're creating work. That's maybe that's what Chrysler's idea was.

178
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 1: They wanted to you know, they're they're just trying to

179
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 1: create things for them to do so they can justify

180
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 1: their existence. You get the axle out of the car

181
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 1: and you lay it on the ground and you look

182
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 1: at it and you don't see it, and it's it's

183
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 1: it's really rusty on the end. But you know you're

184
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 1: looking for something because you're a mechanic and you're you're

185
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 1: trying to get into something simple. You know it's got

186
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 1: to be something stareing me in the face. And sure enough,

187
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 1: you look at it and the video I put up

188
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 1: on Facebook, you'll see it pretty clear. Because I kind

189
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,080
Speaker 1: of cleared some of the rust away. But when I

190
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:51,720
Speaker 1: pulled it out, it was really masked over because you

191
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 1: couldn't see it. The magnet had cracked. There was a

192
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:59,679
Speaker 1: crack clean through the magnet. What happened? Remember remember seventh

193
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 1: grade science class? What happens when you cracked the magnet?

194
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,200
Speaker 1: You now created two magnets, right? It was you. You

195
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 1: have two different poles and two different polarities. Everything changes.

196
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:11,560
Speaker 1: And that's why that's why the scope pattern was so

197
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 1: cock eyed, because I kept seeing I was seeing two

198
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 1: triggers from two separate and it was just it was

199
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 1: just giving me a pattern that bounced all over. Creation

200
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:25,559
Speaker 1: put a new axle in the car, assembled, it, got

201
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:28,319
Speaker 1: rid of the cobwebs, took the car around the block,

202
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 1: and I'm happy to report that the car finally upshifted.

203
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:34,680
Speaker 1: The transmission dogged me off and on for the better

204
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 1: part of three weeks, but I just kept saying, there's

205
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 1: got to be something simple here. I'm missing, something so obvious.

206
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 1: What am I missing? And the point of the story becomes,

207
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 1: you know, I just don't overthink it. I I was

208
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 1: reminded of that once again this week. Never overthink the problem,

209
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 1: but always look for something basic and expect the unexpected.

210
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:58,679
Speaker 1: I don't think I've ever seen him. Uh well, I've

211
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 1: never seen a magnet do that. But I don't think

212
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 1: I've ever seen a car rust like that and still

213
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 1: want to be driven, I guess is the point, because

214
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 1: most people would scrap the car. There's a there's an

215
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 1: emotional attachment to this vehicle, and I understand that, and

216
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 1: I made a promise that I would get to the

217
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 1: bottom of it, and I did so. Um, but anyway,

218
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 1: that's the that's the story. Get out to the Facebook page,

219
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:18,440
Speaker 1: run on any of the car doctor. You can look

220
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:20,439
Speaker 1: at the video. Um, it probably explains that maybe a

221
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 1: little bit more than I did, a little simpler than

222
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 1: I did. I wanted to try and get into a

223
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 1: little bit of depth here, but you know, it spurs

224
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 1: another part of the conversation, and I want to pull

225
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:30,720
Speaker 1: over real quick in a minute, but it spurs another

226
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 1: part of the conversation that here's technology, right. We were

227
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 1: doing this with it with an a C signal generator

228
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:39,959
Speaker 1: and a tooth ring to create signal and it worked

229
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:41,440
Speaker 1: for years and years and years, and we went to

230
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 1: a magnet because a magnet will never break it broke.

231
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:48,680
Speaker 1: And my point is what we've got to realize that

232
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 1: every time, every time they change something in a car

233
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:55,080
Speaker 1: and we go to it and say, oh, isn't this great?

234
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 1: This is the next best thing, remember these words when

235
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:03,200
Speaker 1: it's gonna break and who's gonna fix it? And that's

236
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 1: the key to understanding and have a relationship with your car,

237
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 1: because I don't care what it is, sooner or later

238
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 1: it's gonna come see me. I'm runing ady in the

239
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:14,560
Speaker 1: car Doctor five zero nine zero zero way back right

240
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 1: after this. Hey, welcome back the car doctorate five five

241
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 1: zero nine nine zero zero Car Doctor show dot com

242
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:34,200
Speaker 1: for more information and fun facts. Let's go talk to

243
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:38,200
Speaker 1: bomb Phillisburg, New Jersey, longtime listener Mr Schumacher. How the

244
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 1: heck are you? Asked? How are you? Sir? Good afternood

245
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 1: afternoon and run. I'm finally glad to be able to

246
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 1: talk to my Uh. Hearing kind of went to south

247
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:51,680
Speaker 1: and I finally got hearing age and hearing age couples

248
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 1: through the iPhone, and I could hear you loud and clearer.

249
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 1: That's not that's not from that performance loud exhaust on

250
00:12:56,760 --> 00:13:00,560
Speaker 1: that Volkswagon. You used to drive it. Yeah, it is.

251
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 1: You know, it's amazing. You know, when you're hearing goes

252
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 1: and you can't hear sounds, it's kind of typical. It's

253
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 1: a troubleshoot. Oh yeah, well it's you know, it's it's

254
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:13,600
Speaker 1: it's handy though if you're married. Um, yeah, I don't

255
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 1: want to point that out to lead. There's a lot

256
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 1: of a lot of wise in the audience, so don't

257
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 1: don't pretend I didn't say that. So anyway, how can

258
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 1: I help you? How can I help you? Think? Uh?

259
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:28,839
Speaker 1: What's the life cycle of shocks and struts? Uh? It

260
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:32,560
Speaker 1: gets It depends on the roads and stuff. Though. I

261
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 1: think it depends on the roads. I think it depends

262
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:36,720
Speaker 1: on the environment. I think it depends on what part

263
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:39,080
Speaker 1: of the country. I think it depends on what we're driving.

264
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:41,840
Speaker 1: I think it depends on your budget. Uh, you know,

265
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 1: I think it. I think there's a lot of factors.

266
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:48,720
Speaker 1: You know, it's not clearly mileage dependent. My two thousand

267
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 1: eight Chevy one ton pickup truck, my plow truck's got

268
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:55,840
Speaker 1: thirty one thousand miles and change on it, and it's

269
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:57,839
Speaker 1: been through two sets of front shocks, and it's about

270
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 1: to go through a south third. So you know it's

271
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:03,960
Speaker 1: just I mean, the plow goes up, the plow goes down.

272
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,240
Speaker 1: I hit every pothole that I tried to avoid. You

273
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:09,680
Speaker 1: know what happens. Um uh, you know what kind of

274
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 1: car are we talking about here, Bob? It's just the

275
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 1: two Oh the Volkswagon grew up. Now they they have

276
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 1: got a big one. Yeah. Yeah, how many miles were

277
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 1: on it? And and I know you and from talking

278
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 1: to you over the years and all, and I know

279
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 1: what you're looking for. And I've got to think that

280
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, you're kind of looking for it to

281
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 1: feel tight. And how close back to the factory can you?

282
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 1: And you know, I think that if you wish to

283
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 1: replace shocks and struts all the way around and maybe

284
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 1: think about springs and um, you know, because that to

285
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 1: me is the missing piece, that's the piece of the puzzle.

286
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 1: Everybody tends to to either ignore or forget about. Um,

287
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 1: you know, if if the shocks have taken a beat,

288
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 1: and so have the springs, and you know, I'm sure

289
00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 1: there's more than enough kids out there. We're manufacturers will

290
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 1: sell shock and strut or shock strut spring assemblies together

291
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 1: as a set and you know, put a match set

292
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 1: of suspension in the car and see what it does,

293
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 1: and then you'll have some more fun. Yeah. Yeah, well

294
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,440
Speaker 1: I'm thinking about going back to oh E M and

295
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:18,840
Speaker 1: get the stuff or MOUTI yeah, at least put the

296
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 1: car back the way it was no right, Well either

297
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 1: that or and I mean, I'm sure there's there were

298
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 1: bill stains in that new would be my guests, uh Bill,

299
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 1: bill Stein or Coney. I'm not sure if I'm dating

300
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 1: myself they're saying the Coney word. Um. But I would

301
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 1: also tell you to go and look. I mean, the

302
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 1: suspension technology is scary. What's out there. It's just it's

303
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 1: just it's crazy. I started looking at I just purchased

304
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 1: a seventy two Monty Carlo this year, and I'm playing

305
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:47,040
Speaker 1: around reliving my college days, and you know, and and

306
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 1: I started looking at, yeah, let's do some suspension to that,

307
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 1: you know, and you started getting it up, and you know,

308
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 1: six thousand dollars later, I can make a seventy two

309
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 1: Monty Carlo go around a corner at ninety like it's

310
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 1: writing on rails. Uh. You know, I don't know how

311
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 1: my kidneys are gonna feel about that, you know, And

312
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 1: and you know, never mind the checkbook. Um, you know.

313
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 1: And to that point, what I decided was, I'm gonna

314
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 1: go and I'm gonna put the car together the way

315
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 1: I did when I was a college kid on a budget,

316
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 1: heavier springs front and back right from moving. Um, you know,

317
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 1: the strongest set of what I'll call factory gas shocks

318
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 1: I can find. Um, I'm actually gonna put a set

319
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 1: of Monrose in it, or the equivalent, because they don't

320
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:26,040
Speaker 1: make Monroe gas maddics or radio matics anymore. I'm gonna

321
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 1: put the equivalent of that, and I'm just gonna drive it.

322
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 1: And you know, I put a bigger put a factory

323
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 1: sway bar in the front, and inch and a quarter

324
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 1: bar in the front and inch bar in the rear,

325
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 1: and we'll see how it handles. I mean, listen, it

326
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 1: used to scare me when I was nineteen. I figured,

327
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:42,680
Speaker 1: it's gotta do a whole lot more. Now at this age,

328
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 1: you were doing this with biasupply tires. So well, no,

329
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:50,400
Speaker 1: actually that was right around the time. I'm not that old, Bob.

330
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 1: It was right around the time when b if good

331
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 1: Rich radial t as had come to market, and and

332
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 1: you know I was hanging those on it. I will

333
00:16:57,680 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 1: tell you this though, I used to be able to

334
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 1: go into the corner so hard. I would actually break

335
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 1: the spot weld on the bottom of the shock the front,

336
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:08,639
Speaker 1: and I would unwind the steel clamp that went around

337
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:10,640
Speaker 1: the bushing. I kept returning him to the monrogu. If

338
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:13,960
Speaker 1: he's listening to this show today, I'm sorry, but you

339
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:15,879
Speaker 1: know I would actually every six to eight months, I

340
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 1: would return the front shocks. I would break the strap.

341
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:19,480
Speaker 1: He goes, how do you keep breaking the world? I

342
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 1: don't know. I guess they're defective. Um, you know, but uh,

343
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 1: what can I tell you? I was like, you know what,

344
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:26,920
Speaker 1: young and dumb, you do those things. But my part,

345
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:31,120
Speaker 1: my point is before you just consign yourself all by

346
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:34,159
Speaker 1: factory stuff, take a look at some of the aftermarket stuff.

347
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:36,639
Speaker 1: There's a lot of performance suspension out there. There's a

348
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:40,440
Speaker 1: lot of engineering and research that's gone into this. And uh,

349
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:41,840
Speaker 1: you know, it's not that it won't be fun to

350
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:45,160
Speaker 1: drive in stock trim, but it might be even more fun.

351
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 1: Um might be even more fun to drive, you know,

352
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:50,960
Speaker 1: with a little bit of juice in it. Sea Well,

353
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 1: that's DSc transmission. You come, launch the tires really easy. Yeah,

354
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:57,360
Speaker 1: and you know, have some fun in the meantime, Bob,

355
00:17:57,440 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 1: it was great to catch up. You know, by all

356
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:01,400
Speaker 1: means keep us in the keep us in the loop,

357
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 1: and let us know what you decide. And um, we're

358
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:06,440
Speaker 1: talking about going to labor day, you know, the event

359
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 1: of their mahwa on labor Day. We're talking about that.

360
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 1: So hey, we'll see you up there. If we end

361
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:12,280
Speaker 1: up going, I'm runing any in the guard doctor, we

362
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:34,719
Speaker 1: will be back. We're right after this. Welcome back, right

363
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 1: the card doctor eight five zero nine zero zero. And

364
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 1: let me point out if you've got a car problem,

365
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:43,159
Speaker 1: you've got a question, you've got something that's kind of

366
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 1: on your mind automotive related, you want to talk about it,

367
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:47,639
Speaker 1: you give me a call, leave a message if the

368
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 1: show is not on the year and eight five five

369
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:54,000
Speaker 1: zero nine zero zero during off show hours leads right

370
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:58,399
Speaker 1: to my executive private, locked up, super secure mailbox and

371
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:01,520
Speaker 1: it gets answered by another by the next up and

372
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:04,840
Speaker 1: coming executive producer to the world of radio, but motorhead Matt,

373
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:09,879
Speaker 1: who will astound you with his lackup knowledge about automobiles

374
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:13,680
Speaker 1: and just what exactly he knows. Now you give that

375
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:15,800
Speaker 1: him a call and you you try that out and see, yes,

376
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:19,160
Speaker 1: Tony have a comment. I don't hear your tone pushed

377
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:22,400
Speaker 1: down button. You are talking about match box cars, right,

378
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:24,199
Speaker 1: cards Well, I didn't say what kind of cars he

379
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:26,359
Speaker 1: knows about, but he you know, motorhead Matt knows about

380
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:29,160
Speaker 1: that kind of cars. No, the last producer knew about

381
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:32,399
Speaker 1: match box cars, didn't he. Um, but it depends if

382
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:34,399
Speaker 1: we found him in a garage sail or not so.

383
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 1: And that was the key so to be named nameless.

384
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:40,359
Speaker 1: Let's go and talk to Jason Colorado. Jason, welcome to

385
00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 1: the car doctor, Sir, How can I help? What's going on? Hi? Um?

386
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:47,360
Speaker 1: I've got a two thousand six cheaper and Cherokee Laredo

387
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 1: that has an intermittent start and um, it's crazy, like

388
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:56,320
Speaker 1: it almost seems temperature related, which is so weird. Um.

389
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:58,879
Speaker 1: During the winter, um, you know, and it gets pretty

390
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:02,240
Speaker 1: culture consistently, it doesn't really do it. And then when

391
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:05,639
Speaker 1: we came into the warmer temperatures, I'll go to start

392
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:09,119
Speaker 1: it and it just kind of clicks, like the selenoids clicking,

393
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:14,080
Speaker 1: which which which is six or V eight? It's the

394
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:16,919
Speaker 1: V eight it's the four point seven. And when you

395
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:19,399
Speaker 1: say it doesn't start, is it a is it just

396
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:22,159
Speaker 1: clearly a click? Or does it? Is it? You know?

397
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:25,680
Speaker 1: What does it exactly? Do it just clicks? Like it'll

398
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:28,160
Speaker 1: just click kind of like you know, like the old

399
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:34,400
Speaker 1: Nies era kind of selenoid failure and a starter and

400
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:36,040
Speaker 1: you know you would go to turn the key and

401
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:37,600
Speaker 1: you just kind of hear that clicking noise and then

402
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 1: you knew your selenoid it was bad. Um, it does

403
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:41,840
Speaker 1: the exact same thing. It just kind of makes a

404
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:45,439
Speaker 1: clicking noise. And then on the digital display where you

405
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:52,439
Speaker 1: have parked neutral reverse drive, Um, before it starts clicking,

406
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:55,240
Speaker 1: you know, it'll just have the park indicator highlighted. And

407
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:58,359
Speaker 1: then when it starts clicking, all those indicators light up.

408
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:01,119
Speaker 1: So it's kind of like highlighting all the indicators. So

409
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:04,440
Speaker 1: it's going into a reset. It's yeah, yeah, like it

410
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:06,720
Speaker 1: it kind of goes into like lock up. And when

411
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:09,840
Speaker 1: it locks up, I can't get the starter to engage. Um,

412
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:12,640
Speaker 1: I don't get fuel and I don't get sparked. Okay, Um,

413
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:15,600
Speaker 1: do you have any kind of a scantal? Yeah? I

414
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 1: ranked codes and I got a P zero seven zero six.

415
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:24,080
Speaker 1: I believe range switched performance issue. Yeah, if I'm not mistaken. Um,

416
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:26,680
Speaker 1: when you looked at codes, now, did you just pull

417
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:28,440
Speaker 1: generic O b D two or did you go into

418
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:33,159
Speaker 1: your make model for vehicle? Um, it's uh, it's a

419
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:36,040
Speaker 1: generic O b D two. I think it's a bluetooth

420
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 1: I got from Amazon, So I think it just does

421
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:42,399
Speaker 1: generic O b D two stuff, all right, So you

422
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 1: know the and it probably does. And O b D

423
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:47,480
Speaker 1: two is a good place to start. We always we

424
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:50,120
Speaker 1: always start there in the shop. It's it's it's it's

425
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:52,720
Speaker 1: the place to start. But here's a case where I'd

426
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 1: like to see when the condition exists. Maybe we've got

427
00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 1: a module dropping out. Maybe we can't talk to the

428
00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:01,760
Speaker 1: instrument cluster, maybe we can't to the trans module, the TCM,

429
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:04,679
Speaker 1: maybe we can't talk to you know, who's not on

430
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:10,159
Speaker 1: the bus anymore, who's not communicating? Now? The starter for

431
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:13,960
Speaker 1: that's down on the right side of memory, serves me correct.

432
00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:17,800
Speaker 1: And it's got the most god awful solenoid connector with

433
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 1: a safety on it that you ever saw. So getting

434
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:22,840
Speaker 1: it undone is a big pain in the butt. Um.

435
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 1: Normally I would normally I would sit there and I

436
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:26,959
Speaker 1: would tell you to go down. If not, I'm not mistaken.

437
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:28,960
Speaker 1: I think it's a brown or a tan wire with

438
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:31,880
Speaker 1: a trace on it. Just to see do we have signal?

439
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:35,640
Speaker 1: You know, and you know, just so maybe we've got

440
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:38,520
Speaker 1: to go look at a wiring diagram. Excuse me, go

441
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:42,960
Speaker 1: look at a wiring diagram, and you know, just check

442
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:46,320
Speaker 1: do we have power there? Even though I understand what's

443
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:48,920
Speaker 1: going on with the dashboard, but you know, maybe we

444
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:51,359
Speaker 1: want to treat this as a six h Chevy no start,

445
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 1: bad starter, solenoid. Just test for power at the starter.

446
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 1: Do we have signal going to the solenoid? Do we

447
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:01,439
Speaker 1: if we voltage drop the the battery cable, both the

448
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:04,880
Speaker 1: positive and the negative cable, do we have correct voltage drop?

449
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:08,040
Speaker 1: Do we have under three tensive a voult across uh?

450
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 1: You know the cable, so that we know we've got good,

451
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 1: good continuity. And then you know, how's the ground at

452
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:16,239
Speaker 1: the block, how's the ground, how's the ground connection at

453
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:19,080
Speaker 1: the battery itself? Because you live in Colorado, if the

454
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:21,959
Speaker 1: vehicle has been there any length of time, um, you

455
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:24,359
Speaker 1: know it's out in the weather and the elements and

456
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:27,800
Speaker 1: what sort of corrosive you know, issues might we have.

457
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:30,680
Speaker 1: Let's just a lot. There's a lot of mag chloride

458
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:35,040
Speaker 1: and stuff like that, right, so let's let's eliminate simple first. Okay,

459
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:38,280
Speaker 1: you know, even to the point that maybe what you

460
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:41,040
Speaker 1: could do is if you can get a wiring diagram,

461
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:46,119
Speaker 1: figure out where that solenoid wire comes from, and maybe

462
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:48,720
Speaker 1: we can you know, get to it easier up higher

463
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:51,240
Speaker 1: in the fender whale, so to speak, and wire in

464
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:55,239
Speaker 1: a one side marker bulb socket. You know, go down,

465
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:56,959
Speaker 1: go down to your local oroilly ooto parts you got

466
00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:00,560
Speaker 1: on our radyota parts around you. Okay, just go down

467
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:01,840
Speaker 1: and you know, you know what, you know what a

468
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:04,399
Speaker 1: side marker bulb is like you would use in it

469
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:06,920
Speaker 1: in the directional or a parking lamp. Well, they make

470
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:10,840
Speaker 1: definitely they'll sell sockets. You know, there's just like universal

471
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:13,200
Speaker 1: sockets that will hold those bulls for trailers and things.

472
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:15,320
Speaker 1: So go down and buy a couple of those. Look

473
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 1: at the wiring diagram and say, let's say I want

474
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:20,440
Speaker 1: to see what the voltage is here, and maybe I

475
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:22,520
Speaker 1: want to see what the voltage is there. Wire in

476
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:26,119
Speaker 1: the side markers, wire in the bulbs. All right, we

477
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 1: do this. We do this with customers. We've done this

478
00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:29,879
Speaker 1: where we put the bulbs in the glove compartment or

479
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:31,880
Speaker 1: under the dash, and we'll put different colored bulbs into

480
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:34,240
Speaker 1: each socket. You know, we'll put a clear, we'll put

481
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 1: a frosted, We'll we'll put a two on one, we'll

482
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:38,400
Speaker 1: put a yellow one in there, and then they'll tell

483
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:40,439
Speaker 1: us which one lit up, the yellow one. Okay, that

484
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:43,639
Speaker 1: tells us where we gotta go. You know, if if

485
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 1: you go to start this and all you get is click,

486
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:51,680
Speaker 1: but that bulb is lit and you voltage dropped the system,

487
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:54,000
Speaker 1: you know that at least you've got to have a

488
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:56,639
Speaker 1: bad starter. I mean, there's there's just nothing else that

489
00:24:56,720 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 1: can be that checked. I took it to a mechanic

490
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 1: and that's what they thought it was. They thought it

491
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:05,800
Speaker 1: was either the battery or the starter, and I did

492
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:09,399
Speaker 1: just have the battery replaced. So they replaced the starter

493
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:11,200
Speaker 1: and they called me and they're like, you know, it's

494
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:13,240
Speaker 1: get done, come pick it up. And when I was

495
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:14,720
Speaker 1: on my way there to pick it up, they called

496
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:16,919
Speaker 1: me back and they're like, nope, it's not the starter.

497
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:20,160
Speaker 1: You know, just getting another hour. And they actually they

498
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 1: couldn't figure out what was wrong with it. They didn't

499
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 1: charge me anything, kind of just told me sorry. They

500
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:26,919
Speaker 1: were like, we don't know what's wrong with it. We

501
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 1: think it's a module in the dash, but we're not sure, right,

502
00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:32,760
Speaker 1: And that's and I'm kind of inclined to agree with them.

503
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:35,119
Speaker 1: I just if it's easy enough to get to the

504
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:37,600
Speaker 1: soloid feed, I'd just like to see you do it,

505
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 1: just because we don't diagnose by replacement, because then I

506
00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:42,600
Speaker 1: can make the argument and we could have a two

507
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 1: hour conversation about how you know, just because they put

508
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:47,320
Speaker 1: a new part and it doesn't mean the new part

509
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:50,959
Speaker 1: was any good, new means never ever worked, you know,

510
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:54,680
Speaker 1: So just it's you know, the art of the diagnosis

511
00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:57,280
Speaker 1: is it eliminates known good and at least we can

512
00:25:57,320 --> 00:25:59,199
Speaker 1: get out of that. Then I'm gonna tell you that.

513
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 1: Then I'm gonna tell you I want to go and

514
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:04,359
Speaker 1: look at you know, manufacturer specific with a with a

515
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:08,920
Speaker 1: scan tool and see if you know what module is

516
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:12,680
Speaker 1: not communicating. And you know, the last thought I've got

517
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:17,200
Speaker 1: is when the problem happens, you're in part correct. Yeah,

518
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:19,880
Speaker 1: And um, I've tried moving it from park to neutral

519
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:23,040
Speaker 1: and no change, yeah, no change. It still won't start

520
00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:26,480
Speaker 1: and it shows the digital indicator will show that I'm

521
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:29,600
Speaker 1: moving it from park to neutral, acknowledging that, but it

522
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:31,920
Speaker 1: still won't start that. I'd love to see what a

523
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:36,320
Speaker 1: scan tool would report. Those vehicles did have more than

524
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:39,679
Speaker 1: their fair share of shifter range problem issues, and it

525
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:43,120
Speaker 1: was it was the module or the switch itself UM,

526
00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:45,840
Speaker 1: which is incorporated into it depending upon your making model.

527
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 1: So I think you're going to find looking at it

528
00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:51,960
Speaker 1: on a scan tool that when this problem happens, that

529
00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:55,399
Speaker 1: the trans control or the shifter module, the s r

530
00:26:55,600 --> 00:27:00,000
Speaker 1: M s s E s M Electronic shift module UM,

531
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:02,479
Speaker 1: doesn't communicate. It's it's just not gonna be there. It's

532
00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 1: gonna be off the bus. And that's going to tell

533
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:07,240
Speaker 1: you that that's a problem unto itself too. Yeah, and

534
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:09,800
Speaker 1: then the whole system just goes into lock up, doesn't

535
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:13,600
Speaker 1: start correct correct. So alright, so get a look at that.

536
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:15,040
Speaker 1: You know, maybe you can get your hands on a

537
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:16,520
Speaker 1: scan tool or take it back to that shop. It

538
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:18,720
Speaker 1: seems like they want to work with you. Explain to

539
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:20,480
Speaker 1: them our conversation or if you if they want to

540
00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:22,600
Speaker 1: hear this conversation, all they've got to do is go

541
00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:24,640
Speaker 1: to Car Doctor show dot com. This would be our

542
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:27,760
Speaker 1: one on uh what is today, August the twelfth. August

543
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 1: the twelfth would be our one August the twelve, or

544
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:31,520
Speaker 1: about three quarters of the way through. We started at

545
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:33,119
Speaker 1: the bottom of the hour. If they go to the

546
00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:35,080
Speaker 1: middle of the podcast, they can hear the conversation and

547
00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:37,360
Speaker 1: maybe it'll give them some ideas. Um. I'm not saying

548
00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:38,960
Speaker 1: I got all the answers, but I think it's a

549
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:42,040
Speaker 1: pretty good way to attack this particular problem. Alright, Yeah,

550
00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:45,400
Speaker 1: it's yeah, definitely, thank you. It's it's very frustrating because

551
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:48,280
Speaker 1: it's like nothing wrong, you know, there's never been anything

552
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:50,280
Speaker 1: wrong with the truck, and then all of a sudden,

553
00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:52,919
Speaker 1: it's just like, no start and it doesn't seem to

554
00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:56,119
Speaker 1: be any reason why it won't start right. And like

555
00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:59,240
Speaker 1: I said, don't forget the voltage drop, you know, I,

556
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:01,879
Speaker 1: I everybody, he always thinks about the positive side of

557
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:04,560
Speaker 1: a circuit. Don't forget the voltage dropped the ground to

558
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:07,119
Speaker 1: make sure the connection at the block is good. You know,

559
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:09,440
Speaker 1: all those things come into play, and then we'll start

560
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:11,959
Speaker 1: to talk about the more complicated I read a post

561
00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:13,800
Speaker 1: somewhere and then I gotta go. I read a post

562
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:16,440
Speaker 1: Somewhere in the last two weeks in the mechanics forum,

563
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:18,080
Speaker 1: I belonged to where they were going through all this

564
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:22,120
Speaker 1: diagnosis for an intermittent, slow cranking Chevy Silverado. They went

565
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:24,640
Speaker 1: through every control around the car, every module they looked

566
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:26,840
Speaker 1: at it. I mean they had four days in this car,

567
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:29,840
Speaker 1: and the one test they missed was they never put

568
00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:34,119
Speaker 1: a volt meter or a bulber An indicator on the

569
00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:37,199
Speaker 1: solenoid feedwire going to the starter. It turns out when

570
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:40,280
Speaker 1: the problem happened, the solenoid had power, the starter was

571
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:42,760
Speaker 1: being energized. The starter made no sound. It was a

572
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:45,520
Speaker 1: bad starter. Roll along. They changed everything else around it.

573
00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 1: So you gotta look at everything. I know it's hard,

574
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:50,920
Speaker 1: but you have to. So anyway, good luck to you, Jason.

575
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:52,920
Speaker 1: Keep me in the loop and we'll we'll look forward

576
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 1: to your return. Caali six zero zero. We're in late

577
00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:58,640
Speaker 1: gotta go. I'm running ending the car doctor back right

578
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:11,320
Speaker 1: after this, are you, hey, welcome back? Why don't the

579
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:13,880
Speaker 1: name the car doctor, Tony? Did you put that bumper in?

580
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:16,200
Speaker 1: Is that just that just kind of got logged in?

581
00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 1: Is it because we were just talking about DejaVu? So

582
00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:20,479
Speaker 1: I guess, I guess I gotta tell them, yes, we're

583
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 1: gonna go to the dead Man up in Mahwa, and

584
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:25,120
Speaker 1: you know we'll do that. Let me I'll text them

585
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:27,520
Speaker 1: right after the show. So it's not affirmative until they

586
00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:29,160
Speaker 1: say yes back, because maybe they get a good look

587
00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:30,560
Speaker 1: at us and decide no, they don't want these ugly

588
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:33,040
Speaker 1: guys showing up. But you never know, maybe we'll be there.

589
00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:35,280
Speaker 1: So chances are September two we'll be up in Mawa

590
00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:37,240
Speaker 1: at the dead Man's Curve event up at the Middle

591
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:39,680
Speaker 1: ends up at the Sheridan up there in Mala. So

592
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:41,840
Speaker 1: we'll get it right. Let's go and talk to David

593
00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:44,320
Speaker 1: in Iowa. Um, which which brings me in another subday.

594
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:47,360
Speaker 1: Hey David, I know you've got a good ren with Ron.

595
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:52,440
Speaker 1: You really that telling about yeah, the Monte Carlo and

596
00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:54,360
Speaker 1: um yeah, the one that you're trying to get running

597
00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:57,080
Speaker 1: in the back of the gas station, right, yeah, Well

598
00:29:57,200 --> 00:29:59,840
Speaker 1: this is well, this was the one that had that

599
00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:04,320
Speaker 1: oh we couldn't figure it out on the distributor or

600
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:09,560
Speaker 1: whatever that was. It was a wife car. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay,

601
00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:13,800
Speaker 1: so now what's this car today? This is no, Well,

602
00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:15,560
Speaker 1: I've got a party act. I want to. I want to.

603
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:18,600
Speaker 1: I want to give you equipment on that man car. First,

604
00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:23,080
Speaker 1: I got it, I got it fixed. I fixed it permanently. Okay,

605
00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:25,120
Speaker 1: I'll open I run through some tire mine in there,

606
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:28,400
Speaker 1: and I ran like hell, and uh but it costs

607
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:30,400
Speaker 1: me more to pick up the pieces than it did

608
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:33,520
Speaker 1: to fix it. Well, I bet it. Would you know that? Um?

609
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:38,719
Speaker 1: Did you really do that? David? Yeah? That that's your

00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:41,200
Speaker 1: happy birthday gif. Well, thank you. That's a heck of

611
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:44,480
Speaker 1: a that's a heck of a candle, brother, So not

612
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:46,400
Speaker 1: gonna not gonna help you with the pontac. What's going

613
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:49,920
Speaker 1: on there? Okay, I got a car break to scat

614
00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:56,320
Speaker 1: car carver and uh it'll the car run and drive

615
00:30:56,480 --> 00:31:01,760
Speaker 1: for probably I don't know, maybe the block twice, and

616
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:06,120
Speaker 1: then it stops. Okay, and we do it again. Let

617
00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:09,400
Speaker 1: it set for a little row, and it starts back up,

618
00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:11,880
Speaker 1: and uh, it ran a little bit more, and this

619
00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:15,320
Speaker 1: time it just quit. So I suppose I hate to

620
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:17,000
Speaker 1: get under that thing and try to take out the

621
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:19,680
Speaker 1: gas tank and all that stuff and clean the lines out,

622
00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:23,760
Speaker 1: But it probably might be a smart idea, don't you think. Well, yeah,

623
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:26,760
Speaker 1: so what this car has been sitting a long time. Oh,

624
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:30,720
Speaker 1: probably about twenty years, thirty years, dude, it's it's gonna

625
00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:33,560
Speaker 1: be all loaded with the fuel has probably turned to varnish,

626
00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:36,600
Speaker 1: and you know, the fuel pump has probably been destroyed.

627
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:39,240
Speaker 1: The rubber has just been attacked, and uh, you know,

628
00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:41,120
Speaker 1: there's there's a hundred things to do here. What kind

629
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:45,120
Speaker 1: of pontiac is this? It's a hard top? Oh yeah,

630
00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:47,240
Speaker 1: that car is worth saving. What motors in that? Would

631
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:50,080
Speaker 1: that have been a three eight nine? Yeah? Yeah? Three

632
00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:54,720
Speaker 1: nine four barrel? Oh yeah yeah, pretty pretty neat card, David.

633
00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:56,400
Speaker 1: It's probably worth a few bucks if you take care.

634
00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 1: There's none again in it anywhere. I mean, it's all together.

635
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:03,880
Speaker 1: And the guy I bought it from it was the

636
00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:06,520
Speaker 1: original They said they were they were having trouble with

637
00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:08,360
Speaker 1: it and he wanted to get rid of it, and

638
00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:14,560
Speaker 1: I bought it really super reason. The lord, Yeah, that's

639
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:16,960
Speaker 1: that's that's a no brainer. Brother. Pull the gas tank,

640
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:19,200
Speaker 1: send the tank out, get it flushed. The fuel it's

641
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:21,760
Speaker 1: in there probably turned to varnish. Keep in mind that

642
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:23,600
Speaker 1: if they tell you the tank is you know, Exeter

643
00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:26,479
Speaker 1: stand or something. There are kids out there from various

644
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:29,360
Speaker 1: companies that you can you can line the inside of

645
00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:30,800
Speaker 1: the tank with and I would tell you to do

646
00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:33,320
Speaker 1: that before, you know, depending on how rusty or ugly

647
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:34,800
Speaker 1: it is, but um, I would tell you to do

648
00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:37,160
Speaker 1: that before you just replace the tank and then yeah,

649
00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:39,040
Speaker 1: go through, blow the lines. What's it gonna take. Blow

650
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:40,920
Speaker 1: the lines, put a fuel pump on it, and rebuild

651
00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:43,280
Speaker 1: the carburetor. You know, I'm not that guy. They don't.

652
00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:45,360
Speaker 1: They don't have more than I would be willing to

653
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:47,280
Speaker 1: put the teen into it just to get it to

654
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:50,640
Speaker 1: you know, completely back to original. It's it's really a

655
00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:53,840
Speaker 1: nice Yeah, it sounds like it. Listen, I'm I don't

656
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:55,560
Speaker 1: know if you can but see if you can go

657
00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:57,680
Speaker 1: out to the car Doctor Facebook page and post a

658
00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:00,280
Speaker 1: picture of it. Either that you can, you can probably

659
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:02,840
Speaker 1: put a picture of it in the messaging section. I'm thinking,

660
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:05,120
Speaker 1: um one way or the other. But I'd love to

661
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:06,680
Speaker 1: see a picture of it. I'm sure that. I'm sure

662
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:09,040

677
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:51,680
Speaker 1: know it was. We were off last week and playing

678
00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:53,960
Speaker 1: hooky and a week before we read Steve rosen Fall

679
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:56,840
Speaker 1: from Virginia's letter and I marked where I left off

680
00:33:56,840 --> 00:33:59,520
Speaker 1: some of the comments, Uh that that Steve Max and

681
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:00,880
Speaker 1: I love Steve if he's a great guy, but some

682
00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:03,200
Speaker 1: of his comments are hysterical. We were talking about different things,

683
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:05,360
Speaker 1: Steve says, Hey, Michelin tires, I would have said at

684
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:07,600
Speaker 1: Sam's Club fifteen years ago for the ninety nine green

685
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:10,760
Speaker 1: Ha Honda Civic. Four years later, the Right Front developed

686
00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:12,839
Speaker 1: the bulge around seventy thousand miles about to the local

687
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:15,600
Speaker 1: Firestone and used Firestone Bridge stone, Since you see that

688
00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:19,279
Speaker 1: just proves that you know your creatures of habit. What

689
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:21,560
Speaker 1: you tend to buy the first time, you you'll stick

690
00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:23,239
Speaker 1: with when you have a good experience. I guess that's

691
00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:25,560
Speaker 1: true as far as advertising, Let's spring a wheel in

692
00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:30,000
Speaker 1: blue Honda through weight causing a vibration from seventy problem

693
00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:33,240
Speaker 1: resolved when it was replaced driverless cars. I like Steve's

694
00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:35,759
Speaker 1: perspective on this ron who's gonna work on them? You

695
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:37,560
Speaker 1: will be ready if you choose to. But what about

696
00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:39,960
Speaker 1: the guys who just throw parts of cars? Paying unemployment

697
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:42,959
Speaker 1: for those displaced by driverless cars? You know you gotta

698
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:44,920
Speaker 1: think about that, right, all the mechanics that say, hey,

699
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:46,680
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna work on a driverless car. I'm just

700
00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:49,600
Speaker 1: gonna go on unemployment. I'm just gonna retire. And he says,

701
00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:51,640
Speaker 1: what's the government gonna do? No sweat, They'll just put

702
00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:53,919
Speaker 1: more money count on it. We're only twenty trillion in debts.

703
00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:56,560
Speaker 1: So what's the real problem? You know, Steve, he just

704
00:34:56,719 --> 00:34:59,920
Speaker 1: he just he rambles, but he rambles in the right direction,

705
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:01,799
Speaker 1: and he's got good marks. He needs a radio show

706
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:04,520
Speaker 1: of his own. And I don't know, I'd love to

707
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:07,239
Speaker 1: see that. Steve Rosenthal, Virginia, thanks for the comments and thoughts.

708
00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:09,359
Speaker 1: I'm running any in the card doctor until the next time.

709
00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:12,160
Speaker 1: Good mechanics aren't expensive, they're priceless. I see you
