Speaker 1: ears and into your mind so that you understand that

50
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 1: thing that you think is a car, that I think

51
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 1: is a big role in computer that's out in your driveway. UM.

52
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:42,679
Speaker 1: Interesting point too. I should start before we begin the show,

53
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:44,519
Speaker 1: and I guess we have begun. The show went to

54
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 1: class this week on electronic power steering and it was

55
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 1: interesting put on by a C Delco UH, sponsored by

56
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 1: the folks at by Wise Auto Parts here in New Jersey.

57
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 1: Thanks again to the guys at by Wise. And they

58
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 1: they asked in the beginning, who's working on electronic power steering?

59
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 1: I raised my hand. I've seen a couple of them,

60
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 1: haven't seen a lot of problems yet, because it's it's

61
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 1: for the reason I'm gonna give you in a minute.

62
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 1: Not a lot of guys out of the d raise

63
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 1: their hands, and I'm thinking, well, I guess I'm not alone.

64
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:14,919
Speaker 1: And he said, he said, how come, you know, out

65
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 1: of a dred and twenty mechanics in this room. Half

66
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 1: a dozen of you raised your hands, and I raised

67
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,079
Speaker 1: my hand, and I said, because the majority of the

68
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 1: electronic power steerings are under a recall by General Motors

69
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:30,520
Speaker 1: two thousand five Malibu Classic example, the car the wife drives,

70
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 1: that electronic power steering is under a recall if and

71
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 1: when it ever has a problem. Now, General Motors extended

72
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 1: the warranty on those ten years, hundred and fifty thousand miles. Well,

73
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 1: now it's out of warranty, so I guess when it breaks,

74
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 1: I'll have to fix it. But the point being that

75
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 1: a lot of these haven't been out of warranty, they've

76
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 1: been under extended recalling a lot of applications. And it's

77
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 1: you know, the point being that you look at the technology.

78
00:03:56,880 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 1: It took ten years before that vehicle became a concern,

79
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 1: and the guy from mac Delco knew it. And this

80
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 1: is my point. It took ten years for that car

81
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 1: to be on the road before they said, you know what,

82
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 1: these are out a warranty. They're gonna start to see him.

83
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 1: They're gonna have to service them. Let's start to educate them.

84
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 1: A little bit more than they have been in the past,

85
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 1: and explain some of the intricacies of the system. And

86
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 1: you look at that and you say, look at the technology.

87
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:26,480
Speaker 1: You know, cars really have gotten better this week at

88
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 1: the shop. Harry pointed it out to me on Friday,

89
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,799
Speaker 1: and it wasn't an anomaly, It's something I've been noticing

90
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 1: and I've been saying this for a long time. Friday

91
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 1: we had five cars with check engine lights, one oil

92
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:42,839
Speaker 1: change and to break jobs. And he looked at me

93
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 1: and he said, this is the first Friday I can

94
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 1: remember where you've got so many check engine lights. Because

95
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:49,720
Speaker 1: we usually like to do diagnostics in the beginning of

96
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 1: the weekend. We did diagnostics all through the week. There

97
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:56,039
Speaker 1: were check engine light cars every day this week. But

98
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 1: he said, look at how it's starting to flip. You're

99
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 1: doing more oil changes. Are you' doing more check engine

100
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,600
Speaker 1: light cars than oil changes on a regular basis? And

101
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,600
Speaker 1: I said, yeah, it's you can see the transition. You

102
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 1: can see if this was the eighteen nineties into the

103
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 1: nineteen tens. You're seeing the blacksmith go away and and

104
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 1: and shooting, the horse going away, and the automobile coming

105
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:22,160
Speaker 1: into its own you're you're at that point in history

106
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 1: right here, right now, you're watching it happen. I noticed

107
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 1: driving this morning. I went to the chiropractice like I

108
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 1: do every Saturday, and then off to the deli for

109
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:36,599
Speaker 1: for breakfast, and a lot of new cars on the road,

110
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 1: a lot of new cars. And you can tell you

111
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 1: know new cars real quick. Just look at the inspection

112
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 1: sticker here in New Jersey you see that, And I'm

113
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,239
Speaker 1: sure other states you know you tell by inspection sticker

114
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:49,840
Speaker 1: or some other way. Everybody's got a quick way. Gee

115
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 1: that's a new car. That's a new car. That's a

116
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:57,480
Speaker 1: new car. But yet when you talk to repair shops,

117
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 1: everybody's quiet. The North East is struggling through one of

118
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:04,840
Speaker 1: the quietest time periods in order to repair that I've

119
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 1: seen in a long, long time. So much so that

120
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:12,360
Speaker 1: on Tuesday I had a two thousand three Honda Civic

121
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 1: with a check engine light on. Remember I told you

122
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 1: I had a few and it was an evaporative emissions problem.

123
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:21,599
Speaker 1: I needed a chart called canister and a bypass solenoid

124
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 1: and event valve, and first time ever I called the

125
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 1: Honda dealer. First time the Honda dealer asked me, are

126
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:34,040
Speaker 1: you busy? And I went, excuse me, not that it's

127
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 1: a but it's just weird. This is the Honda dealer.

128
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 1: You know, this is like the holy grail of what

129
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:43,039
Speaker 1: everybody wants to drive. And I said, well, you know,

130
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 1: I've got cars. I'm okay. We're kind of trugging along.

131
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,919
Speaker 1: It's it's not like two thousand seven, two thousand eight,

132
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 1: before the before the bust. But you know, we've got

133
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:52,360
Speaker 1: enough to keep us busy. And we're filling the day

134
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 1: and we're a couple of days out and so on.

135
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:58,479
Speaker 1: I said, why he goes? He goes it's quiet, and

136
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 1: this is a pretty good sized Honda dealer the neighborhood.

137
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:07,720
Speaker 1: And they said it's quiet so much so that the

138
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 1: owners in and he's walking the floor and it's it's

139
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 1: a little bit of an issue. And in his exchange

140
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 1: with me, he said, sales are off. Used car sales

141
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 1: are off, parts are off, services off. And I said,

142
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 1: why why do you think that is? He said, just

143
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 1: the cars are getting better. He said there's nothing for

144
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 1: the service department to really sell people beyond the oil change.

145
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 1: And he said the oil change is going so long

146
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 1: now because people are falling into that longer oil change interval.

147
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 1: He said, we're in a cycle. Now. What he said

148
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 1: that was really interesting to me was what they're noticing

149
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 1: is the newer cars, and by newer I mean the

150
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 1: cars that are three or four years old that are

151
00:07:57,080 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 1: on that longer oil change cycle, that if they keep

152
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 1: the car past the seventy eight thousand mile mark, which

153
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 1: I realized is ridiculous, like who would get rid of

154
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 1: a car at that age? But at that stage of

155
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 1: the game, he's saying, they're noticing the cars that on

156
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 1: the longer oil change intervals. They're the cars that are

157
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 1: has still have there. They're starting to have engine issues

158
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 1: and oil consumption and problems and you know, longer oil

159
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 1: change drain ovals. Maybe maybe that's the issue. Bottom line,

160
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 1: The technology is it's it's like a Star Trek episode.

161
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 1: It's just you're just watching things flash by the speed

162
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:39,440
Speaker 1: of light. And I think the auto industry is on

163
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:43,080
Speaker 1: a warp speed max out, coming to the point of

164
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 1: technology where it's radically going to alter what we perceive

165
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 1: and see as auto repair in the coming years. You know,

166
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 1: I heard the opening monologue, and you know, can you

167
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:54,920
Speaker 1: imagine hybrids and NASCAR? I thought about that hybrids and NASCAR,

168
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 1: it would sound like, you know, forty three vacuum cleaners

169
00:08:57,920 --> 00:08:59,840
Speaker 1: going around the track, whish whish, whish, sh sh sh

170
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 1: rush rush, And it just makes you think that the

171
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 1: technology is reaching the point where if everybody was driving

172
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 1: a hybrid, if everybody was into technology like that, and

173
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 1: there was no need for the corner repair shop, for

174
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 1: the dealership with forty service base, how will that impact

175
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:25,959
Speaker 1: the economy of the country. You know, I think the

176
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 1: numbers like I think the automotive aftermarket and the automotive

177
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:34,720
Speaker 1: industry constitutes of the automotive of the American economy, and

178
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:36,959
Speaker 1: I don't know that we're ready for that change. Can

179
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,679
Speaker 1: you imagine over time what this is gonna look like

180
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 1: when we don't need the snap on tool truck, the

181
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 1: mac tool truck, the uniform guy, the building maintenance guy,

182
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 1: the I mean, the list goes on and on. The

183
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,680
Speaker 1: guy who makes the sandwiches and the luncheon net because

184
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 1: nobody's repairing cars like that, We're all working from home

185
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 1: doing whatever in the twenty one century. Kind of makes

186
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 1: you wonder. But I guess warning sign will be that

187
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 1: the first time they do run a NASCAR race and

188
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:05,960
Speaker 1: you hear whish whish, whish, whish wish. You know, the

189
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,840
Speaker 1: hybrids took over, and so did the technology. Eight five

190
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:11,520

00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:03,080
Speaker 1: go to our first call, I do have a question

200
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 1: for you beginning next week, um, and I should point

201
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:08,720
Speaker 1: this out to everybody. Fast Harry is the hardest working

Speaker 1: producer in show business. He really is. Well, no, he

203
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:15,320
Speaker 1: really is, because beginning next week Harry will have the

204
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 1: eBay store up. Isn't that correct, Harry? Not an eBay store,

205
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:20,960
Speaker 1: but a listing and a bay listing. Okay, So that's

206
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 1: why I have him, folks. He keeps me on the

207
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 1: straight and narrow outside the world of word to repair

208
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 1: um and explain to us. How exactly is that going

209
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 1: to work. We're putting up a T shirt listing so

210
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:30,560
Speaker 1: we can start with T shirts right people. And the

211
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,320
Speaker 1: problem is everybody just wants when we can't even get

212
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 1: the questions on air fast enough. So we're just gonna

213
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:36,959
Speaker 1: make them available for selling. If you want to buy

214
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 1: when you can, Um, how's it gonna work. Well, they'll

215
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 1: search our I D or they'll search car Doctor T

216
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 1: shirt and they'll see your user i D which is

217
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:50,440
Speaker 1: car Doctor Radio. That's his, that's Ron's eBay user i D.

218
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 1: It's actually up there. Now you go there, there's nothing

219
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 1: listed yet, and then they'll be able to buy one.

220
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:57,200
Speaker 1: There'll be five separate listings for each sized T shirt

221
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:00,160
Speaker 1: and uh, and they can buy it and they can

222
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:04,320
Speaker 1: use PayPal and they can use PayPal and uh, we'll

223
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 1: get it to go. We'll give it a go and

224
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 1: make it. We'll make it like that. And then I think, also,

225
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 1: you know, we have hats. We can put hats up

226
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:11,080
Speaker 1: there too. I don't know if everybody's into hats, but yeah,

227
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 1: we can put put hats up there, and hats and

228
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 1: T shirts. We'll have six listings and that should be

229
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 1: up end of the week coming, yeah, end of the week. Okay,

230
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:20,440
Speaker 1: cool beans? All right? Good, If you're lucky, you might

231
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:22,960
Speaker 1: get to see me model a T shirt. Well, we

232
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 1: actually want people to buy these. I'm selt. Well that's true.

233
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:29,680
Speaker 1: So you could be the male model, right, and we'll

234
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 1: have to get them to be the female model. There

235
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:33,719
Speaker 1: you go. I knew you. We used to be nice

236
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 1: to each other over there? Are you guys ready to

237
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:40,840
Speaker 1: do radio again? I'm ready to go? We actual naide?

238
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:44,400

239
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:46,560
Speaker 1: Who do you got from me? Online? One? All right?

240
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 1: So our first caller is Frank. He's cold in a

241
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 1: few times before, you know, Frank from Rockland, New York.

242
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:55,199
Speaker 1: And he's where do we go with all these computers

243
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 1: in these cars? Where is it all coming to? Which

244
00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 1: is what you were talking about the first part of

245
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:00,439
Speaker 1: the hour? Boy? Let me tell you, hey, Frank, welcome back.

246
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 1: We're on any of the car doctors, sir? What's going on?

247
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 1: I love it? Love it. We're in a shirt now,

248
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 1: you know, maybe summertime we get some painttop and do

249
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 1: it that way and let's let them put that on

250
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 1: but in a different way. And I'm not going to

251
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:15,080
Speaker 1: go that way. Yeah, yeah, so listen, I'm with you

252
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 1: on that. Where are we going with this shut off?

253
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:19,959
Speaker 1: Back in the day, back in the day, and you're

254
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:22,559
Speaker 1: just you are on cue on cue. Back in the day,

255
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:24,719
Speaker 1: we change the oil and garage, we would put it

256
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:27,200
Speaker 1: dead do there. Now it's getting to the point where

257
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:30,440
Speaker 1: maybe we can just change the air filter like I

258
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:33,600
Speaker 1: talked about weeks ago or what you know, Frank, I'll

259
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:35,439
Speaker 1: tell you how bad it's getting. When when I was

260
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 1: at class Wednesday night, we were talking and you know,

261
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 1: we usually start the classes with a and and these

262
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 1: these these folks that put it on by wise with

263
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 1: DELCA to do an excellent job. I can't say enough

264
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 1: about it in terms of the seminar and the presentation.

265
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 1: And Ryan, one of the one of the principles in

266
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 1: the company, has been working with legislators in Washington. Because

267
00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:57,960
Speaker 1: now here's the new game plan. We're gonna start talking

268
00:13:57,960 --> 00:13:59,720
Speaker 1: about this as I know more. As a matter of fact,

269
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:02,960
Speaker 1: I've got Ryan and the Wings in the next couple

270
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 1: of weeks. We've got them warming up because I wanted

271
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 1: to come on here and talk about it. So the rough,

272
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:13,080
Speaker 1: the rough edges of this conversation were that. Are you

273
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:18,200
Speaker 1: familiar with the Right to Repair Act? What that was? Okay,

274
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 1: that's a lot of people out there. That's why I'm

275
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 1: bringing this out. Well, here here's the deal. We're looking,

276
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 1: like you said before, you know that we're getting cause

277
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 1: all these new cars on the road, and perhap you

278
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 1: know we used to change our oil but miles right right,

279
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 1: Well now here, listen, let's listen up in front. Hang second.

280
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 1: So the Right to Repair Act was legislation that required it.

281
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:43,480
Speaker 1: It was voted on in past. It requires the auto

282
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 1: manufacturers to allow access to repair information and what was

283
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 1: at one point proprietary scan tool technology to anyone that's

284
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 1: willing to step up and pay for it. It does

285
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 1: come at a price, all right. Now. The only manufacturers

286
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 1: kind that don't like that, they do, and they don't. Yes,

287
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 1: it does. You know, as an independent shop, they know

288
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 1: that when somebody asks me what kind of car to buy,

289
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 1: as people do all the time, I'm going to really

290
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 1: lean that fence towards not only cars that are good,

291
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 1: but also cars that I can reasonably get information on.

292
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:18,120
Speaker 1: I mean, this is the name of this game is

293
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 1: all about money. We know that, all right. Concept people

294
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 1: just people just want to drive cars. I mean, it's

295
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 1: it's not hard to conceive that. We just want to

296
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 1: get back and forth the work and the river. We're going.

297
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 1: The new storm on the horizon since they've been forced

298
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 1: to give us information. The news storm on the horizon

299
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 1: is that somewhere in the next five years, there's conversation

300
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 1: that the diagnostic connector that we all know under the

301
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 1: dash where the scan tool plugs in, yeah, on the

302
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 1: driver's side right, is going to is going to disappear.

303
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 1: And the way we're the way that the dealer is

304
00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 1: going to diagnose and connect to that vehicle is through

305
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 1: Bluetooth technology and when you drive through the link link,

306
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:06,560
Speaker 1: you drive to the front door. Well to a degree,

307
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 1: but but here's the bigger here's the bigger problem. It's

308
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 1: gonna be Bluetooth technology. So it's going to be very

309
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 1: proprietary because now when you purchase a vehicle in the

310
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 1: coming five years, the position of the car companies that

311
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 1: this is what they're lobbying for. And the ducks are

312
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 1: already being lined up as I explained this that and

313
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 1: no one's aware of it. And we're gonna have Ryan

314
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 1: on to talk about this because I want everyone to

315
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 1: start calling their congressmen and their elected officials to you know,

316
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 1: make them aware of their discontent. If they're so discontented

317
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 1: that when you buy that new car in the coming years,

318
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 1: you're buying the hardware. You're purchasing that car like a computer,

319
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 1: but the software that the software that runs it is

320
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 1: licensed to the vehicle manufacturer and they're not letting that

321
00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 1: license out to anybody. Just like Microsoft and Windows. You

322
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:04,879
Speaker 1: buy a new computer, it's got a Microsoft operating system

323
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 1: on it. Same thing right there, locking everybody out. And

324
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 1: that's what's gonna happen to cars. It's not gonna happen tomorrow,

325
00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:16,480
Speaker 1: but there's talk within the next three to five years

326
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:19,320
Speaker 1: this is what we're gonna be dealing with. And that

327
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 1: means for guys like you, the hood is effectively electronically locked.

328
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:27,119
Speaker 1: Maybe you won't even be able to change the air filter.

329
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:29,280
Speaker 1: Maybe they're gonna construe it so that in order to

330
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:31,920
Speaker 1: unlock the latch on the air filter housing, you're gonna

331
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 1: have to hit a chip on the a button on

332
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 1: the scan tool that connects Blue Bluetooth in order to

333
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:39,960
Speaker 1: change that or maintain it. Trust me, it's it's it's

334
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 1: it's this is what's going on because as we're doing

335
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:48,159
Speaker 1: what we're doing here might not causes I'm a vomtire finding.

336
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:51,119
Speaker 1: We'll fight that causes. Up here in the background, we

337
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 1: got lobbyists doing what they're doing for the big business people.

338
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:57,720
Speaker 1: And it's it's a shame. And here's and here's the

339
00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:00,919
Speaker 1: and here's the word problem where just attracted. You and

340
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 1: I are just a couple of working guys. We're distracted

341
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 1: by trying to survive. And while we're trying to survive,

342
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 1: the noise in the background is keeping us from seeing

343
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:13,200
Speaker 1: what's really going on, and that is that they're after

344
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:15,520
Speaker 1: our wallet once again. And it's still a problem when

345
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:17,959
Speaker 1: it comes to cars. Always follow the money in order

346
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 1: to repair. In anything in the automotive business, it's all

347
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:24,360
Speaker 1: about the dollar. So um, good conversation, Frank, keep them coming.

348
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:26,119
Speaker 1: I appreciate you being there and if anything I can

349
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 1: do to help you or anyone else you just guys

350
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:30,360
Speaker 1: know where to find me Rand at Car Doctor show

351
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:54,480
Speaker 1: dot com. I'll be back right after this. Don't go away.

352
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:57,960
Speaker 1: A welcome back, Ron and Needing in the Car Doctor

353
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 1: at your service at six your own nine nine zero

354
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:02,959
Speaker 1: zero let's get over to the busy phones. Talk to

355
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 1: Andrew and Ramsey, New Jersey. Andrew, Welcome to the car doctor.

356
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:08,399
Speaker 1: How can I help? How are you doing good? Just

357
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:10,560
Speaker 1: a question? Uh? I have a two thousand and ten

358
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:13,360
Speaker 1: super ref stir. I had taken an end for some

359
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:16,959
Speaker 1: recall repairs at while at the dealer and they were

360
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 1: doing it. They do their inspection of everything, and they said, oh,

361
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:22,200
Speaker 1: your breaks. Your rear brakes are four millimeters. They should

362
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:23,960
Speaker 1: be replaced. I was like, all right, you know I

363
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:27,840
Speaker 1: usually take it to my dealer, my mechanics, so I

364
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:30,800
Speaker 1: took it over is to get an estimate, and uh

365
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:32,879
Speaker 1: what what? What I want to know is the pads

366
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 1: are covered? I always know excuse me, go ahead, what say?

367
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 1: What Andrew? The pads are usually covered? Um, but I

368
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 1: want to know do you always have to replace the rotors?

369
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:46,359
Speaker 1: When you say the pads are covered? What do you

370
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 1: mean the pads are covered? Well, they're they're lifetime. Went

371
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:52,880
Speaker 1: through my mechanic. They're like, okay, replace them for free,

372
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:56,679
Speaker 1: right okay, So what you're saying is your mechanic offers

373
00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 1: to replace the brake pads for free, but then he

374
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:03,360
Speaker 1: wants to charge you. To either replace or machine the rotors. Yes,

375
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:05,639
Speaker 1: and they were just thought about a year ago February

376
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:08,919
Speaker 1: of last year. So is it always necessary to have

377
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:11,199
Speaker 1: the rotors replaced it or just put new pads on?

378
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 1: Here's here's here's here. Here's my thoughts on this. All right,

379
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 1: and this is forty three years of fixing cars talking

380
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 1: first of all, all right, brake pads always need a

381
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 1: fresh surface to seat against. Okay, so when you when

382
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 1: you replace pads without doing anything to rotors, whether your

383
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:34,240
Speaker 1: machine or replace them, then you're really just asking for

384
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 1: trouble because the the brake pad has to be scuffed

385
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 1: to wake it up. In a sense. Think of it

386
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 1: like this. They finish it to a certain level, and

387
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:48,720
Speaker 1: they wanted scuffed up so that it's I always think

388
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 1: of it in my mind is activated, so the juices flow.

389
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 1: But that's not really what happens. But it's the idea

390
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 1: that the pads wake up and they take a certain

391
00:20:56,359 --> 00:21:00,280
Speaker 1: set so that they get the best coefficient of friction,

392
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:02,080
Speaker 1: they get the best drag. When you hit the brakes,

393
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:04,879
Speaker 1: they stop, they grip. You know, if you ever notice

394
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:07,360
Speaker 1: breaks to a point, you ever take a ride up

395
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:10,760
Speaker 1: a mountain, drive you ever come down skyline driving West

396
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:12,399
Speaker 1: Milford and you notice when you get to the bottom

397
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 1: of the mountain how hard the brakes are working, and

398
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:19,400
Speaker 1: sometimes you lose breaking ability. You you've overheated the brake pad,

399
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 1: not by intention, but just by it such a steep decline.

400
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:25,720
Speaker 1: You're just you're coming straight down for two miles, right,

401
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 1: So you've you've you've overheated the pad. Okay, break pads

402
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:33,000
Speaker 1: will work within a certain heat range. And the idea

403
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:35,400
Speaker 1: is that the scuff when you put on a fresh

404
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:38,199
Speaker 1: set of pads and either machine or replace the rotors,

405
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:41,240
Speaker 1: that scuff wakes the pad up. But you can always

406
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 1: overheat it. As I'm trying to say on skyline that

407
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:46,680
Speaker 1: that being said, the answer to your question is, yes,

408
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 1: you have to do something to the pet, to the

409
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 1: rotors to either you know, something to scuff him to

410
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:56,120
Speaker 1: wake him up. That's number one. Number two, all right,

411
00:21:56,640 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 1: most rotors today on most cars, I don't care where

412
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:02,639
Speaker 1: they're from. I don't care if it's a Subaru or Chevy, Afford,

413
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:06,920
Speaker 1: a christ whatever, alright, whether they're new from the manufacturer

414
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 1: that you know, this is the first break job at

415
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:12,119
Speaker 1: forty miles, or it's the repetitive breake repair every forty

416
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 1: so you're at one twenty and you're you're doing breaks.

417
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:20,640
Speaker 1: Most of the rotors today cannot, in my opinion, be machined,

418
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:24,400
Speaker 1: and I'll tell you why, they're generally too thin by

419
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 1: the time you get to the point of doing that

420
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:30,800
Speaker 1: break repair. That if they allow forty thousands tolerance and

421
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:33,280
Speaker 1: for everyone's you know, benefit out there, take your thumb

422
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:35,679
Speaker 1: and fore finger, put it a certain distance. Come in

423
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:39,159
Speaker 1: forty thousands. That's the minimum that that rotor can be

424
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:42,520
Speaker 1: thickness wise, so that it's considered safe and it can

425
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:44,520
Speaker 1: handle the stress in the load of operating the car

426
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:49,679
Speaker 1: that being said to machine these rotors, they're usually so

427
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:53,359
Speaker 1: rust blistered, all right, and usually it's because of the

428
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:55,320
Speaker 1: salt and the corrosive material they put down on the

429
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:57,359
Speaker 1: roads to keep things, you know, the ice so off

430
00:22:57,400 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 1: the road in the snow that you're at the point

431
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 1: where to cut below that rust. You now made the

432
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:07,000
Speaker 1: rotor undersize and it's unsafe, or the rotors just permanently

433
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 1: pimpled and acneed that it just can't be machined, so

434
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:15,200
Speaker 1: you're gonna end up replacing it. We had a let

435
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:18,440
Speaker 1: me think what it was. We had a two thousand

436
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:24,520
Speaker 1: eleven Toyota Corolla yesterday, pads and rotors the front and

437
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:27,640
Speaker 1: first time doing breaks forty eight thousand miles on the car,

438
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:32,639
Speaker 1: the front rotors were concave. The pad had it was

439
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:34,879
Speaker 1: such a it was such a hard pad and a

440
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:39,040
Speaker 1: softer rotor that it had had concaved the rotor so

441
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:41,480
Speaker 1: that if you dragged your fingers across the face of

442
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:44,160
Speaker 1: it when it was cool not hot, obviously you would

443
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:47,200
Speaker 1: feel that outer lip and there was there was probably

444
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:50,320
Speaker 1: a good four or five thousand's outer lip that couldn't

445
00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:52,400
Speaker 1: be cut. So you would have the machine the rotor

446
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:54,919
Speaker 1: down to that level. And at that point there was

447
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:58,680
Speaker 1: so much rust. The inside face of the rotor was delaminating.

448
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:00,920
Speaker 1: You ever see it from micac counter top. Just delaminate

449
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:03,120
Speaker 1: where the glue comes undone and it starts to lift off.

450
00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:06,960
Speaker 1: That's that's what the rotor was doing. So that's my

451
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:09,920
Speaker 1: second argument for not machining rotors. They're just they're they're

452
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:14,040
Speaker 1: just not of good quality to machine, all right. Third,

453
00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:17,240
Speaker 1: third and last thought. Okay, and I and I say

454
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:20,320
Speaker 1: this as gently as I can. Everybody's got a gimmick.

455
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 1: There's no way anybody can guarantee breaks for life and

456
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:29,119
Speaker 1: do that and give you something for free without knowing

457
00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:33,640
Speaker 1: they can charge you for something else. And if right,

458
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:37,320
Speaker 1: you know what, there's no free lunch all right. I mean, listen,

459
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:40,560
Speaker 1: you're from Jersey. You know how the game gets played on.

460
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 1: One thing I can say about Jersey people, there's some

461
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 1: of the smartest in the world because it's really rough

462
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:46,560
Speaker 1: around here, and you've got to know how how it

463
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:50,000
Speaker 1: things operate. Um, if they're taken with it, if they're

464
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:51,879
Speaker 1: given with this hand, they're taken with the other. And

465
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:54,280
Speaker 1: that's just how it works. And when you when you

466
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:55,920
Speaker 1: add it up at the end of the day, now

467
00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 1: you do have a legitimate argument. If the brakes were

468
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 1: done a year ago, what was they Okay, so it's

469
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:06,560
Speaker 1: it's the rear brakes were done February of fifteen, So

470
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:13,760
Speaker 1: a year and three months. It's about maybe so isn't

471
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 1: isn't your argument that you know, GM a good customer.

472
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:19,680
Speaker 1: How come a year and three months out of warranty.

473
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:21,840
Speaker 1: If it's a year warranty, I have to pay for

474
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:24,640
Speaker 1: any of this all over again. Go back and see

475
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:27,000
Speaker 1: what Go back and go back and see what kind

476
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:29,719
Speaker 1: of argument he gives you. Then, um, you know, one

477
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:31,440
Speaker 1: of the things I stressed to people is you only

478
00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:35,840
Speaker 1: get one chance to annoy a customer, and after that

479
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:38,720
Speaker 1: they become a new customer somewhere else. My father laid

480
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:40,640
Speaker 1: carpet for many years, and I remember as a kid

481
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 1: he would come home and tell my mom, you know,

482
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:44,200
Speaker 1: there's no such thing as a new customer. There's just

483
00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:46,080
Speaker 1: somebody that got annoyed somewhere else and they had to

484
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:50,320
Speaker 1: go elsewhere. But never, never then anything, never more than

485
00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 1: anywhere else. Can I make this statement, believe it to

486
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:54,840
Speaker 1: be true, and I believe it's you. In a lot

487
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:57,639
Speaker 1: of businesses in order to repair you really get what

488
00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:01,200
Speaker 1: you pay for. And there is there's a hundred ways

489
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:02,800
Speaker 1: for somebody to pull the wool over your eyes. But

490
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:05,400
Speaker 1: there's only one way to do a job, regardless of money,

491
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:09,200
Speaker 1: and that's doing it right. You do pads, you replace rotors,

492
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:12,879
Speaker 1: you loube slides, you do a break fluid flush because

493
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 1: it's not about cheap, it's about safe and that's kind

494
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 1: of the bottom line, all right, kidd. So yep, I

495
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:20,920
Speaker 1: appreciate you're very welcome, good luck to you, and thanks

505
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:12,040

506

Speaker 1: We're gonna give you a send you at a Car

507
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:16,359
Speaker 1: Doctor t shirt. And that's just what we're about to

508
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:18,920
Speaker 1: do now. And I think Tom's got my question for me. Tom,

509
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:22,800
Speaker 1: do you have my question? Yes? I did. What question

510
00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:24,919
Speaker 1: do you have? Sir? Which I had a voice like his? Actually,

511
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:28,720
Speaker 1: we have a question here from Toes Toes older brother

512
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:32,959
Speaker 1: Tang Toes older brother Tang. That's what it says right here. Okay.

513
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:35,280
Speaker 1: It sounds like a Johnny Carson routine, you know, with

514
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:38,720
Speaker 1: Carn acting magnificence. Uh. But he asks, and this is

515
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 1: a great question. I have an O six Honda s

516
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 1: I onto Civic s I. Honda states that the O

517
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:47,720
Speaker 1: E M Platinum plugs last one thousand miles. When should

518
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:49,679
Speaker 1: I change my spark plugs? I love this kind of

519
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:51,959
Speaker 1: a question, and I'll tell you why. Yeah, the manufacturer

520
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:54,040
Speaker 1: says the plugs last a hundred thousand miles. A question

521
00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:55,840
Speaker 1: is can you get him out of the head? And

522
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:59,000
Speaker 1: that's always the issue because you know, they're a steel

523
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:01,399
Speaker 1: plug and an aluminum head, and over the period of

524
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:04,160
Speaker 1: time to heat up and cool down cycles and things

525
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:05,959
Speaker 1: get rusted and corroded. I mean, look at it, it's

526
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:08,399
Speaker 1: a No. Six, it's ten years old. Will the plug

527
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 1: come out of the head? And all the money that

528
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:12,480
Speaker 1: you saved on not having to replace the plugs is

529
00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:14,200
Speaker 1: You're going to be evaporated when you have to pull

530
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 1: the head after the spark plug hole strips out and

531
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:17,560
Speaker 1: you have to repair it, and you can't repair it

532
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 1: on the car, and all of a sudden, it's a nightmare.

533
00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 1: So I generally like to do the you know, the

534
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:26,879
Speaker 1: factor in the back of my mind to be safe.

535
00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:28,399
Speaker 1: So if if it calls for it at a hundred

536
00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:31,960
Speaker 1: thousand eighty alright, eight is a pretty good number. And

537
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:34,120
Speaker 1: then I'm real particular about what I'll replace and within

538
00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:35,720
Speaker 1: this applies for everything. You know, if they tell me

539
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:38,120
Speaker 1: cool it is five year or any freeze, I'm looking

540
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:40,640
Speaker 1: to replace it in four because I want to do

541
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:43,760
Speaker 1: it before it becomes a problem. You know, auto repair

542
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:46,800
Speaker 1: and maintenance is a lot like getting sick. You want

543
00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:48,880
Speaker 1: to avoid getting six so you have to get better.

544
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:51,800
Speaker 1: You want to just do the maintenance beforehand so you

545
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 1: don't have the problem. So taking everything to the cutting

546
00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:57,800
Speaker 1: edge generally results in a little bit of a disaster

547
00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:00,520
Speaker 1: because every once in a while, something sneaks past that

548
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:03,000
Speaker 1: you missed, or you've got that one car that that

549
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:05,920
Speaker 1: that one of a thousand cars that it didn't work

550
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 1: out quite right. So letting it go to the manufacturer

551
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:12,320
Speaker 1: respect didn't actually help you, it hurt you. And in

552
00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:14,360
Speaker 1: regards to spark plugs, if you are going to change

553
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:17,560
Speaker 1: these plugs, here's where a product like dense So the

554
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:21,200
Speaker 1: dense O T T spark plugs really shines because dens

555
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:24,520
Speaker 1: when they designed the dense O T T s actually

556
00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:28,080
Speaker 1: put a lubricant on the threads to help prevent the

557
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:31,000
Speaker 1: corrosion and locking into the head. It's actually got a

558
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 1: little bit of a lubricant there so that it will

559
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:36,240
Speaker 1: help in spark plug removal when you want to change them.

560
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:38,560
Speaker 1: The next time around, and well, well I still would

561
00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:41,520
Speaker 1: do them at the next eighty thousand mile interval. Besides

562
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:43,560
Speaker 1: getting the best performance out of any spark plug on

563
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:46,320
Speaker 1: the marketplace today, the dense O T T s you're

564
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:49,040
Speaker 1: pretty sure they're gonna come out because they, unlike the

565
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:51,040
Speaker 1: O E M plug, will have some sort of a

566
00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:53,840
Speaker 1: lubricant there to help in removal. More information at dens

Speaker 1: Doctor sir. How can I help? Yeah? Run? Just to

580
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:27,760
Speaker 1: follow up on the last question that guy had about

581
00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:33,600
Speaker 1: those plugs, right, I have a two thousand buick uh

582
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:36,640
Speaker 1: D engine. Right, does that does that have does that

583
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:39,400
Speaker 1: have an alluonment hit on it? Do you know? I

584
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:42,240
Speaker 1: believe that is cast iron? Stand But have the have

585
00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:45,520
Speaker 1: the plugs been done in it yet? You know? I

586
00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:47,800
Speaker 1: don't know because somebody using I gotta go back and

587
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:49,920
Speaker 1: look through the book, right, and and and then the

588
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:52,520
Speaker 1: other issue is that particular car should have spark plug

589
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:55,440
Speaker 1: wires on it yet, So it's gonna become it's gonna

590
00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:59,240
Speaker 1: become plugs and wires. Make sure make sure that when

591
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:02,560
Speaker 1: you change the wires you use a bit of dielectric

592
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:04,960
Speaker 1: grease in the end of the boot. And make sure

593
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:07,040
Speaker 1: you use a good quality plug wire to go along

594
00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:14,480
Speaker 1: with those densil plugs. Okay, all right, sir? Yeah, Should

595
00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:18,920
Speaker 1: a guy put some high high temp anti seas on

596
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:21,880
Speaker 1: the threads Now? You don't. You don't need well, first

597
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:24,120
Speaker 1: of all, on a dense O T T you do

598
00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:26,040
Speaker 1: not need to. There is like I said, there is

599
00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:28,959
Speaker 1: a there's a there's a lubricant impregnated into the thread

600
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:32,240
Speaker 1: that prevents the season and goaling issue number one, number

601
00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:36,880
Speaker 1: two anti cs. You know, stand I I can't prove it,

602
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:40,360
Speaker 1: but from my observation seat in the shop, I think

603
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:43,080
Speaker 1: any Seas has changed the formulation over the last ten

604
00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 1: or fifteen years to the point that I don't use

605
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:47,600
Speaker 1: it anywhere as near as much as I used to.

606
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:50,720
Speaker 1: What I've noticed any Seas when it gets dry and older,

607
00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:53,560
Speaker 1: they've they've either put so much glass in it, or

608
00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:56,040
Speaker 1: they've changed the formula that now it gets crumbly and

609
00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:59,040
Speaker 1: paste like, and I find it actually started to bind

610
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:03,880
Speaker 1: and prevent removal. It became an issue. So my secret

611
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:06,800
Speaker 1: when I want something to go in easy and come

612
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:10,000
Speaker 1: out easy. Uh, and it's been working for the longest time,

613
00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:12,000
Speaker 1: is I just put a drop of plane old motor

614
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:14,400
Speaker 1: oil on the threat of whatever I'm working on. The bolt,

615
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:16,680
Speaker 1: the spark plug, if it's not a dense O T

616
00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:19,480
Speaker 1: T or I'll just put a drop of motor oil

617
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:22,680
Speaker 1: there and you know, assemble it that way. Never had

618
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:26,960
Speaker 1: anything come loose, never had an issue, and generally when

619
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:28,840
Speaker 1: I need to take it apart, it comes right apart.

620
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:30,280
Speaker 1: And the nice thing is the oil. Once it gets

621
00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 1: into the porosity of the steel, I find that it

622
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:36,280
Speaker 1: will be there underneath the nut where if moisture tries

623
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:38,600
Speaker 1: to get in there, the oil break holds that barrier

624
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:40,959
Speaker 1: back and keeps it from getting it and rusting everything together.

625
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:45,080
Speaker 1: So um, you had a quick question, stand real quick? Yeah,

626
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:50,440
Speaker 1: real quick? Is but you know my two thousand I have.

627
00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:52,880
Speaker 1: I have a leaky exhaust system, you know, and it's

628
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:55,760
Speaker 1: getting worse. And I noticed that yesterday I got a

629
00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:58,840
Speaker 1: check engine late. Okay, is there any correlation between a

630
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:02,080
Speaker 1: chick engine light? And sure, very very well could be.

631
00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:06,240
Speaker 1: If that exhaust leak is before the primary or even

632
00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:09,280
Speaker 1: the secondary oxygen sensor, there's gonna be two oxygen centers

633
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:11,680
Speaker 1: on that. There's gonna be a pring a postcatto too

634
00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:15,080
Speaker 1: if the ox. If the exhaust leak is before either

635
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:19,200
Speaker 1: of those, then the issue could be that you're seeing

636
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:22,160
Speaker 1: a false air coming into the system and the two

637
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:26,160
Speaker 1: censor isn't responding the way it should, and the the PCM,

638
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:29,520
Speaker 1: the onboard vehicle computer has now detected, Hey, something's askew

639
00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:31,440
Speaker 1: with one or both of the O two's and it

640
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:34,480
Speaker 1: thinks that you've got to know two censor circuit fault

641
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:38,040
Speaker 1: when really the exhaust leak is is the culprit there,

642
00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:39,800
Speaker 1: So you know you're gonna have to get it scanned.

643
00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:42,480
Speaker 1: Pull codes. You know, you start seeing P zero one

644
00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:45,360
Speaker 1: five zero one thirty six, one thirty nine things like

645
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:48,840
Speaker 1: that O two centsor related problems. Then you're gonna have

646
00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:51,880
Speaker 1: to take a look at the exhaust system, fix that,

647
00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:54,560
Speaker 1: and then go on and diagnose the O two is

648
00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:57,000
Speaker 1: after the fact, because you could be going through a

649
00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:59,960
Speaker 1: false diagnosis. Stan, I appreciate the call. I'm gonna pull

650
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:01,400
Speaker 1: over and take a pause right now. I'm run a

651
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:03,240

Speaker 1: your automotive problem. Just give you a little bit of

661
00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:03,200
Speaker 1: a better understanding of the automobile. And that's that's really

662
00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:05,040
Speaker 1: all we want to do. No egos here. We're just

663
00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:08,759
Speaker 1: trying to dispel information and just clear up some of

664
00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:11,120
Speaker 1: the misinformation that's out there, and there seems to be

665
00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:13,640
Speaker 1: an awful lot of it. Quick piece of email. Hey Ron,

666
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:16,640
Speaker 1: I'm from Western Australia. I love the podcast. You know

667
00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:19,440
Speaker 1: we're big in Australia. Tom, look at this. It's crazy right,

668
00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:23,120
Speaker 1: Um yeah, who knew? If you get the time on

669
00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:26,520
Speaker 1: your show, can you discuss my questions to be two fifty.

670
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:28,600
Speaker 1: It's actually a Ford Ranger with a MOS the badge.

671
00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:31,239
Speaker 1: It has the six R eighty six ft automatic, the

672
00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:33,239
Speaker 1: service manual set the change the oil after two or

673
00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:35,719
Speaker 1: fifty kilometers. I think it's too long and I get

674
00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:37,520
Speaker 1: your thoughts on this please. I look forward to listening

675
00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:41,160
Speaker 1: to your podcast. Cheers from Roger down under Roger. Yeah,

676
00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:44,800
Speaker 1: and listen. I converted a kilometers is about a hundred

677
00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:48,799
Speaker 1: and sixty thousand miles. A hundred and sixty thousand miles

678
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:52,120
Speaker 1: on the original trans fluid. I think the manufacturers out

679
00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:54,399
Speaker 1: of their minds, and I think you've got to look

680
00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:58,200
Speaker 1: at a lot of things, especially uh, you know, environment

681
00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:01,919
Speaker 1: and moisture and a slew of other factors. I would

682
00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:04,600
Speaker 1: be changing that trans fluid at the latest a hundred

683
00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:07,439
Speaker 1: thousand miles and realistically more along the lines of every

684
00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:10,000
Speaker 1: sixty thousand miles until the next time I'm run any

685
00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:12,719
Speaker 1: of the car Doctor. The mechanics aren't expensive, they're priceless.

686
00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:19,080
Speaker 1: See up
