Speaker 1: is designed the way it is and the others that

00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 1: I admit we haven't been doing a lot of Facebook

51
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 1: stuff lately. Actually have two or three videos, four videos

52
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 1: I can think of at the top of my head.

53
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 1: And edit, I haven't gotten to yet this summer. We've

54
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:46,639
Speaker 1: just been too busy fixing cars and too many other

55
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 1: projects going on, Just far too many things to deal with,

56
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 1: and there's only so much for me to go around.

57
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 1: And I made a promise to my family the past week.

58
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 1: I haven't touched a car in a week. We're just

59
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 1: coming off of our staycation. Monday, we'll get back into

60
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 1: the shop and I'm sure I'm nothing to talk about

61
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 1: next Saturday. Uh, you know what could possibly go wrong

62
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 1: on a repair shop back on a Monday after a

63
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 1: week off we closed the shop, so I'm sure that

64
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 1: will be some stories to tell. By the way, I

65
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 1: should point out where's that piece of paper. Tom gave

66
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:15,679
Speaker 1: it to me. Um, I understand my my my cell

67
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 1: phone went off at four o'clock this morning, I got

68
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 1: a text from my engineer, Tom Ray that he's booked

69
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:23,519
Speaker 1: me into the dead Man's Curve Wild hot Rod Weekend again.

70
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:25,360
Speaker 1: Of course he waited the two weeks before to tell me,

71
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 1: so I have to get ready now to do that.

72
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:31,639
Speaker 1: So if you are in Mahwah, New Jersey, uh, Labor

73
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:33,640
Speaker 1: Day weekend, I guess that's the third. Yeah, that looks

74
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 1: like September the three, and I realized this is a

75
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,119
Speaker 1: national show, but I never know where anybody's coming from.

76
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 1: It's um you know, we can kind of play it

77
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 1: out that way. But if you're in Mahwah, New Jersey

78
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 1: the weekend of September the three, that's Labor Day weekend,

Speaker 1: Jersey thing. Um, but oh, there it is. Dead Man's Curve.

00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 1: a good time. It was a good time last time.

98
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 1: They've been doing it for a good many couple of

99
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,720
Speaker 1: years now, and um, I think this is number five?

100
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 1: Is this number five or six? I've lost track, but

101
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 1: they've been doing it a while now, a good many

102
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 1: couple of years. And that's Labor Day weekends. We'll be

103
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 1: there doing that. That being said, before I open up

104
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 1: the garage story that you want to make one comment. Um,

105
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:58,160
Speaker 1: a couple of questions lately, people are asking me what

106
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 1: is the most critical opponent of a car today? And

107
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 1: I've got to think it comes back to batteries. And

108
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 1: I and I've got a reason I'm bringing this up.

109
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 1: And I'll go here in a second. And I think

110
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,479
Speaker 1: it's a battery because everything starts with a battery. The

111
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:16,040
Speaker 1: battery has got to be you know, proper sized type,

112
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:19,160
Speaker 1: cleanliness at the terminals and all that stuff. And and

113
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 1: I'm not here to beat up and talk to you

114
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 1: about power frame grid technology. And it's a better grid.

115
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 1: You know it is. You've been listening to the radio show.

116
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 1: You know why power frame grid technology is a better

117
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 1: grid and a better battery design and internally and you

118
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:34,599
Speaker 1: can read more power frame dot com. I get all that.

119
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:36,479
Speaker 1: I'm not here to tell you about that. What I

120
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 1: want to talk to you about, though, is you know,

121
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 1: we're going into fall. This is what triggered it Labor Day.

122
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 1: We're going into colder time of the year, and everybody

123
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 1: traditionally starts to think battery. Although more batteries are sold

124
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 1: in warm weather, more batteries fail as a result of

125
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 1: warm weather, which is part of the power frame grid

126
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 1: technology design and why it's better and all that. But

127
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:58,360
Speaker 1: that isn't even what I really want to talk about.

128
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 1: What I want to talk about up is jump packs.

129
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 1: And we've gotten a lot of questions in the last

130
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,360
Speaker 1: couple of months over jump packs, and evidently everybody wants

131
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 1: a jump pack, you know, a little booster pack. And

132
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 1: it was It's funny because I saw someone the other

133
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 1: day on the side of the road jump starting a car,

134
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:21,159
Speaker 1: and I thought of how dangerous that is. They had

135
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 1: one car going the right way and one car going

136
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 1: the wrong way, and it was a busy thoroughfare and

137
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:28,359
Speaker 1: they're out there standing at the fender in the battery

138
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:30,280
Speaker 1: was on the driver's side of the car, so they

139
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 1: had to stand out more in the roadway. And I'm thinking,

140
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 1: how convenient would it have been, how how much safer

141
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:39,160
Speaker 1: would it have been had they had a jump pack?

142
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 1: And then I started thinking that kind of goes along

143
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 1: with what everybody's talking to me about with jump packs,

144
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 1: and everybody wants to buy a little jump pack. And

145
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 1: you know how big they are now there there They

146
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 1: look like your cell phone on steroids. They're just a

147
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 1: little bit bigger. But the problem is not all of

148
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 1: them are really safe and rated for the car. And

149
00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 1: I Remember we were supposed to have this conversation you

150
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 1: and I a couple of weeks ago, and I failed

151
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 1: to get to it for all the other things that

152
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 1: the phones just don't stop ringing. And I went back

153
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 1: and I found my notes from my friend Gary McKie.

154
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 1: He's the VP of of a communication over there for

155
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 1: the folks that Associated Equipment out in St. Louis, Missouri,

156
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 1: and he sent me a letter that they were sending

157
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 1: out and earlier this year. And the letter starts out,

158
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 1: Associated Equipment is proud to be an approved source of

159
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 1: battery chargers and jump starters for use on General Motors vehicles. Recently,

160
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 1: a communication was sent to GM dealerships cautioning them against

161
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 1: using non approved equipment during repairs. It states, in part,

162
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 1: the General Motors testing has shown that the use of

163
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 1: non approved chargers and booster packs can damage you. Ready

164
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 1: for this, Using a poor quality booster pack can damage

165
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 1: headlight bulbs, control modules, and other electrical components. Some non

166
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 1: approved devices have exceeded twenty volts during a jump start

167
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 1: event and damage both low beam headlimb filaments. I thought

168
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 1: this was the biggest bunch of nonsense I ever read

169
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 1: in my life. And then I talked to a friend

170
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 1: of mine during the week this past week, just you know,

171
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 1: not working, but just trying to get ready for working

172
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 1: because I kind of got a little board of my staycation.

173
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 1: I hate to tell you, folks, but I really wanted

174
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 1: to get back to fixing cars. And I was talking

175
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 1: to my friend Dennis up with a local Catallact dealer,

176
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 1: and he's telling me, yeah, we do do a lot

177
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 1: of low beam headlights and a lot of headlights and

178
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 1: a lot of things. And he says, jump starting is

179
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 1: a real issue. So this is real, And you know,

180
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 1: I just want to bring it up that everybody's writing

181
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 1: me lately asking me about you know, what to use

182
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 1: and and uh um, you know, in terms of a

183
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 1: jump pack. And I've got to come back and and

184
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:38,080
Speaker 1: and stay with what I've been saying. And as Gary

185
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 1: had told me that they're they're the approved for GM,

186
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 1: I'm knocking something over here. And I wrote this down

187
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 1: on a piece of pay project gonna reach around and

188
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 1: get it the quick Start micro That's what I wanted

189
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 1: to tell you. Somebody out on Facebook had asked me

190
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 1: this to uh Lauren Holly Potter, I think it was

191
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:56,080
Speaker 1: or something like that she wanted to know about what

192
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 1: jump pack to use, and I said, let me get

193
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 1: the name of it, but I figured, let me announce

194
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 1: it on air too. But if you get out to

195
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 1: the Facebook page, you'll see it's it's in the messenger

196
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 1: section of the notification section, the quick Start micro um

197
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 1: which comes from Associated Equipment. You can see more at

198
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 1: their website which is Associated equip dot com. But you know,

199
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 1: we're in such a technical age now, no news flash

200
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 1: there that even a booster pack can be of poor

201
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 1: quality or have issues if it's not calibrated or set

202
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 1: up to do the proper thing. And when Gary first

203
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 1: explained this to me, Gary McKee from Associated, oh beginning

204
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 1: of the year, you know it kind of I listened,

205
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:40,960
Speaker 1: But how important could it be? You know what? Seeing

206
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 1: lots of issues with incorrect jump pack procedures, are incorrect

207
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 1: jump packs creating problems, and the problem is only going

208
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:53,600
Speaker 1: to get worse going on. So what's the most important

209
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:55,200
Speaker 1: part of the car today? What do I think is

210
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 1: the most critical? I think it's the battery, And I

211
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:00,439
Speaker 1: think if you're gonna jump start the battery, you've got

212
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 1: to have a good jump pack. And if you don't

213
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 1: have a good jump pack, you're gonna create other bigger

214
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 1: issues because it goes from headlight bulbs to control modules.

215
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 1: So it goes from five bucks to five thousand UM,

216
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 1: which dollars signs. Anytime you put dollar signs in front

217
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 1: of a car for repair, all of a sudden that

218
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:19,960
Speaker 1: becomes a bigger problem. So get out to Associated equip

219
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 1: dot com read more about the quick Start micro other

220
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 1: line of battery jump packs, and at least you're dealing

221
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 1: with an approved source for car companies. UM some some

222
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:31,199
Speaker 1: interesting food for thought. I never would have thought it

223
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:33,440
Speaker 1: was gonna be such a problem, but evidently it is.

224
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:36,439
Speaker 1: Eight five five five six zero nine zero zero. I

225
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 1: am running any in the car doctor. I'll be back

226
00:10:38,520 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 1: to open the garage doors right after this. M with

227
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:17,960
Speaker 1: the wind and now stuff things in the hand. Hey,

228
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:19,839
Speaker 1: welcome to Heck we're on eating of the car doctor.

229
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:21,600
Speaker 1: I've got an attitude. I'm here to fix your car.

230
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 1: What's going on, Steve Cleveland, Ohio? Is that is with

231
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:27,839
Speaker 1: the two thousand eleven Wrangler and some funny noises in

232
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:30,200
Speaker 1: first and second gear? Steve, Welcome to the car doctors, sir.

233
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:33,439
Speaker 1: How can I help fair on? Yeah? So it's an

234
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 1: is actually an automatic, so it's not a not a

235
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 1: first and second gear problem. But what it is is

236
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 1: what I start to vehicle up. For about a second

237
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 1: or two, there's just a loud clatter um and it's

238
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:51,200
Speaker 1: not associated with hot or cold. It can be either way,

239
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 1: but it just sounds like metal one metal, and then

240
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 1: it quickly goes away and the engine sounds normal going forward.

241
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 1: Do you have any preference or alout on where it's

242
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 1: coming from front of the car, back of the car,

243
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 1: underneath your feet, underneath the seat, underneath, underneath the hood,

244
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:09,080
Speaker 1: and it sounds like the other top side of the engine,

245
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:11,720
Speaker 1: then okay. Anybody do any kind of diagnosis to this?

246
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 1: So far Steve, No, No, nothing uns okay. So you

247
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 1: know the first thing I want to do is let's

248
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:21,200
Speaker 1: eliminate things. Can we just pop the belt their belts off,

249
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 1: started up, does the noise go away? And then? And

250
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:26,080
Speaker 1: then if it does at least then we know it's

251
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 1: something driven by the belt and that cuts us down

252
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 1: to what three or four things power steering and air conditioning,

253
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:35,680
Speaker 1: et cetera. Unless this is an EPs car. If if

254
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 1: that doesn't do it, my next question would be if

255
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:44,719
Speaker 1: we started up and put it in drive. This is

256
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:46,960
Speaker 1: an automatic, he said, and power break it. Can we

257
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 1: duplicate it? Can you create it? That I've tried and

258
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 1: I can't, so I'll I'll rabbit and but again it's

259
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 1: just it's almost to me it sounds like a like

260
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:02,200
Speaker 1: a dry start, as if you know it's metal on metal.

261
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 1: Um it really it sounds not not like something spinning,

262
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 1: but more of just a like a clatter like spokes,

263
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 1: like cards in a spoke. You know, will it will it?

264
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 1: Will it do it? Every time you started, Steve, start,

265
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 1: it makes the noise. Shut it off. Start, it makes

266
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:19,680
Speaker 1: the noise, shut it off, start, it makes the noise.

267
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 1: It'll do it on a consistent basis like that, No,

268
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 1: it won't. And also, to add to it, sometimes it

269
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:31,600
Speaker 1: will actually be louder and um to the point where

270
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:35,320
Speaker 1: I'm like, you could almost pick out a specific clacking noise,

271
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 1: you know, one that happens to be louder than the other.

272
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:40,199
Speaker 1: I've just noticed that on a few occasions. But sometimes

273
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 1: I'll started up and it's completely you know, it's fine.

274
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 1: How long has it been doing that? How long has

275
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 1: it been doing this? I started noticing about eight five,

276
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:52,280
Speaker 1: seven thousand on it now and the first time I

277
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:56,680
Speaker 1: think I noticed it's right around forty. So you know,

278
00:13:56,720 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you it's nothing critical. That's good. Then well,

279
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:03,640
Speaker 1: you know, if you listen in forty miles if it

280
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 1: was something critical, yea. With all the plastic and tin

281
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 1: metal they put underneath the hoods of cars today, I

282
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 1: would have fallen off by now. You know, no, no joke. Now,

283
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:15,520
Speaker 1: if you really wanted to be serious and track it down,

284
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 1: not that you're not serious, but you know what I'm saying.

285
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 1: What I would do is I would if you if

286
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 1: you lift the hood and start it doesn't make the

287
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 1: noise of the mechanic in front of it, I'd stand there.

288
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 1: If we were at the shop, I'd have my stethoscope

289
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 1: out with with the tip offs, I get more of

290
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:32,440
Speaker 1: a broader feel and try and zero in on whatever

291
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 1: it is we're listening for that way, Um, you know,

292
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 1: I mean, sometimes it's not rocket science, it's just common sense.

293
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 1: But that's why I say, if you take the belt off,

294
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 1: taking the belt off, change or eliminate anything. Yeah, that's

295
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:46,600
Speaker 1: a great point. I've never never didn't even think to

296
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 1: try that, right, So yeah, then the only other thing

297
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 1: with it is at about that same time when I

298
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 1: started to notice that, I noticed I'm consuming oil uh

299
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:58,920
Speaker 1: at at the rate of maybe you know, each oil

300
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:02,480
Speaker 1: change I do every five thousand with full synthetic. But

301
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 1: I maybe down just not quite a court, a little

302
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 1: lesson of court, but in five miles. Yeah. Well, and

303
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 1: has it stayed consistent at a court in five thousand miles? Yes,

304
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 1: stay pretty consistent yet, so it hasn't. It hasn't increased. Um,

305
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 1: anybody try to do any kind of diagnosis to that,

306
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 1: to come to any kind of conclusions. No, So no,

307
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:27,800
Speaker 1: I haven't done anything with that yet either. You know,

308
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 1: if it was if the two were somehow tied together,

309
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 1: forty thousand miles is a long time. A court in

310
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 1: five thousand miles, you would you would have to make

311
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 1: some kind of conclusion that it would go downhill quickly

312
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:47,360
Speaker 1: from there. And it hasn't. It stayed consistent with that,

313
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 1: So maybe and I don't recommend this often, but maybe

314
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 1: what you want to do just for peace of mind,

315
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 1: so you know it's not you know, what you're hearing

316
00:15:58,040 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 1: is an engine or what you're you're not about to

317
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:02,000
Speaker 1: have an in pending engine failure see here's where I

318
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 1: think an oil analysis is justified. All right, okay, And

319
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 1: a lot of people that are long term listeners. I

320
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 1: don't know whether you are or not, but they'll they'll

321
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 1: sit there and you know they'll be like people want

322
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:15,560
Speaker 1: to do oil analysis right from the get go with

323
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 1: a new car. I don't see the point. Here's a

324
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 1: car that's five years old, but ninety thousand miles on it.

325
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 1: You've got a noise, you've got an oil consumption issue.

326
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:26,600
Speaker 1: This would be interesting to do an oil analysis. And

327
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 1: you know, there's nobody, I really, no one specific. I

328
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 1: would just google it, talk to your friends. Does anybody

329
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:35,160
Speaker 1: doing it on oil oil analysis? Who are they using?

330
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 1: There's a bunch of companies out there. I would get

331
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 1: one done and if it comes back with you know,

332
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 1: minimal levels and everything is okay, then you know what

333
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 1: the oil consumption is normal for the beast. A court

334
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 1: in five thousand isn't the worst. If we were having

335
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 1: a conversation about a court in a thousand, yeah, then

336
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:56,240
Speaker 1: you know that's that's to me, that's an issue. Even

337
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:58,560
Speaker 1: though even though the industry says a court in a

338
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 1: thousand isn't bad. To me, that's extreme, but I would

339
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 1: I would start doing an oil analysis and then, depending

340
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 1: upon what those results are, maybe the next oil change.

341
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:10,640
Speaker 1: Take that. When you take the oil filter off, cut

342
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:13,439
Speaker 1: it open, cut it open, spread, spread it out on

343
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 1: the bench. What do you see inside the polats? Okay?

344
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 1: All right, and then and we'll kind of go from there.

345
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:22,520
Speaker 1: But I would definitely try starting this with the belt off. Okay,

346
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:26,399
Speaker 1: all right, keep me posted, Steve, let me know what happens,

347
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:31,200
Speaker 1: all right, babe, thank you. Um, yeah, it's you know,

348
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 1: if this was going on for two weeks, i'd probably

349
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:36,160
Speaker 1: take a different text. But it's been going on for

350
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:38,960
Speaker 1: what sounds like two years, two and a half years

351
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:42,120
Speaker 1: and forty something thousand miles, So I don't necessarily see

352
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 1: where that's going to be. Um, you know, not that

353
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 1: I'm not worried about it, but clunks and rattles sometimes

354
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 1: cars make clunks and rattles for a very long period

355
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:55,199
Speaker 1: of time. Now take the conversation the other way if

356
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 1: if it's possible. The other thing you can do in

357
00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:00,560
Speaker 1: a situation like this is power break it. If you

358
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:03,120
Speaker 1: put it in drive, does it rattle in one direction?

359
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 1: Put it in reverse? Does it change the tone? Does

360
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 1: it change the pitch doesn't make noise in that direction

361
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:09,919
Speaker 1: as well, And you know those are the kind of

362
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:13,879
Speaker 1: things we look for. Noises can drive you out of

363
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:17,479
Speaker 1: a car, and it's it's funny. I've fixed more than

364
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 1: a few that just we'll make you crazy. Um, i'd

365
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 1: also be creek curious. I forget failed to mention this

366
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 1: to Steve. If he put it up in the air

367
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:27,919
Speaker 1: in a lift, you know, if he doesn't hear it

368
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 1: up high, does he hear it down low? And sometimes

369
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:32,200
Speaker 1: you've got to start something up in the air and

370
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 1: listen to it from below and kind of poke around.

371
00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 1: Noises are not easy. They do make electronic ear devices

372
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 1: that you can place around the vehicle and tune in.

373
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:44,200
Speaker 1: But you know, at this point, start off slow, take

374
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 1: the belt off, see where that goes? Eight five zero

375
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 1: nine zero zero or on any in the car doctor.

376
00:18:49,119 --> 00:19:15,879
Speaker 1: I'm back right after this. The things I do to

377
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 1: keep Tony on his toes hey Ron and any and

378
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 1: the car doctor. I had to reach down in time

379
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:21,320
Speaker 1: my shoe. I'm sorry I was away from the mic.

380
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:22,800
Speaker 1: I'm going you know, I hear the music. I bet

381
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:25,160
Speaker 1: it's time to sit up and uh take another call.

382
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:27,840
Speaker 1: So sorry, about that Tom So Tony was jumping up

383
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:30,680
Speaker 1: and now going where wrong? Go anyway? Ron and any

384
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 1: of the card doctor zero nine zero zero. See that's

385
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:39,960
Speaker 1: the sign of a seasoned radio veteran, right, nonchalant and easy.

386
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:42,679
Speaker 1: They don't know the quivering mass and nervous nelly that

387
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:44,920
Speaker 1: I really am. Before we go on air and during

388
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 1: the show, here comes Tom with the feedback. Go ahead,

389
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:49,200
Speaker 1: do that again, and I have to give him mouth

390
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:54,440
Speaker 1: to mouth. You're in trouble. Yeah, okay, you got me there. Um,

391
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:57,080
Speaker 1: let's get on over and talk to John. Line to

392
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:00,399
Speaker 1: Mustang John, Welcome to the car, doc or sir, how

393
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 1: can I help? Yeah? How's it going? I got a

394
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:08,280
Speaker 1: problem with ninety nine Mustang gc um. The alternator charges

395
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 1: at thirteen volts, yeah, VA four point six to evalve,

396
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 1: and the alternator puts out thirteen votes. Now I put

397
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:22,359
Speaker 1: a brand new alternator, brand new Ford alternator, brand new battery,

398
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:25,240
Speaker 1: and still at thirteen voltes. Now you turn the st on,

399
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 1: you turn ther wipe is on, the lights on, still

400
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:30,680
Speaker 1: thirteen voltes. You have it up thirteen votes. Now I

401
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:35,480
Speaker 1: disconnect the fuse, that twenty fuse that actually feeds the alternator,

402
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:40,639
Speaker 1: and it automatically full fields to fourteen volts. Now I

403
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:43,680
Speaker 1: changed the alternator on the warranty again and still it's like,

404
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 1: you know, its just stays dirt and voltes. Now it

405
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:49,399
Speaker 1: seems to be a problem. Are you are you? I

406
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:52,840
Speaker 1: was gonna say, are you looking at the charging rate

407
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 1: off of a vault meter or off the dash gage

408
00:20:56,400 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 1: off the offering a voltmeter? Okay? Okay? Does the car?

409
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 1: Does the car ever give you a problem where battery

410
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 1: doesn't charge or it leaves you disabled or no, no,

411
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:09,840
Speaker 1: not at all. It actually gives me a problem. I've

412
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:12,480
Speaker 1: actually I put it. It's kind of supercharger on it,

413
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:16,440
Speaker 1: and uh, I'm having you know, I'm actually losing power

414
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:18,400
Speaker 1: when it's in thirteen volts because I got a wide

415
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:22,480
Speaker 1: band fuel ratio, a fuel gauge, and it's ten and

416
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 1: a half a fuel. Uh when it's thirteen volts. Obviously,

417
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:28,960
Speaker 1: when it's fourteen volts, it goes down. It goes up

418
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:31,199
Speaker 1: to eleven a fuel and I get a lot more

419
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:32,879
Speaker 1: power out of it, you know, because it think is

420
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:35,600
Speaker 1: blown out spark or something like that. Um, why is

421
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:40,240
Speaker 1: it that? Let's well back up a second. Um, So

422
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:44,879
Speaker 1: you've got an aftermarket supercharger, kid on it, right, okay,

423
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:48,480
Speaker 1: and you took out you took out the O twos

424
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:50,359
Speaker 1: and you put it in an aftermarket air fuel or

425
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:53,119
Speaker 1: whatever it came with the kid. No, I ended a

426
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:58,240
Speaker 1: bump for a white band. All right. So when you're

427
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 1: going into a full throw will pass, you're saying to

428
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:05,600
Speaker 1: me that it's going lean. No, it's what the what

429
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:08,240
Speaker 1: the one knows it's going rich? One of the dirteen

430
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 1: voltes um based on what what reading are you seeing

431
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:17,680
Speaker 1: telling you it's going rich because I missed that. I

432
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:20,200
Speaker 1: have a wide bandy, I feel, I feel gauge, and

433
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:25,280
Speaker 1: uh when when it's not charging at fourteen volts it's

434
00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 1: going rich because I think it's actually blown out spark,

435
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 1: I actually feel a power difference. Now my question is

436
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:33,000
Speaker 1: why does FOD have like a like a feature that

437
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:35,920
Speaker 1: it only charges like a thirteen votes at durteen point

438
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:39,280
Speaker 1: two volts as opposed to the normal fourteen votes, Not

439
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 1: that I'm aware of Not that I'm aware of it

440
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,199
Speaker 1: at all. Now, I'd be curious if you took if

441
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:46,480
Speaker 1: you took that alternator off the car and bench tested it,

442
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:51,119
Speaker 1: what is it charge it? Oh? I don't know, because

443
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 1: you know you know what's it's got too. It's got

444
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:57,200
Speaker 1: the three prom connector going into the alternator, and each

445
00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:59,040
Speaker 1: of them a fuse, ones for the dash light, for

446
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:01,480
Speaker 1: the battery light, and another is the toll vote the

447
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:05,040
Speaker 1: feet that's that's on the twenty fuse. When I disconnect

448
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:10,400
Speaker 1: that fuse, the alternative automatically full charges. Because if I'm

449
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:14,639
Speaker 1: not mistaken, one of those the field control for this vehicle,

450
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:21,480
Speaker 1: the alternator is done through the PCM, if I'm not mistaken, No,

451
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 1: it's not. According to schematic, it's not. It goes to

452
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 1: the one for the dashboard for the battery light that

453
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:29,880
Speaker 1: goes to like a fifteen half fuse, and one goes

454
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:33,880
Speaker 1: to fuse that goes to right to be plus battery positive.

455
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:36,520
Speaker 1: So then where's the field control for the alternators itself

456
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:42,359
Speaker 1: regulating internally? Yes it is, So then that contradicts what

457
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:46,640
Speaker 1: the car is actually doing. I take the fuse out

458
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:49,120
Speaker 1: if it full fields the fourteen volts right, So what's

459
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:51,399
Speaker 1: the fuse doing applying power to that terminal and that

460
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:54,920
Speaker 1: that's telling the alternator internally to keep voltage lower. Something

461
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:58,480
Speaker 1: doesn't make sense there, that's exactly what it's doing. I

462
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:01,119
Speaker 1: don't know why And like I said, I put an

463
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:04,000
Speaker 1: elder in the Ford alternate run under warranty and it's

464
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:06,080
Speaker 1: still doing the same thing. It only charges a thirteen

465
00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:08,720
Speaker 1: point one volte. Do me a favorite, John, do me

466
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:13,639
Speaker 1: a favorite, Send me your Vin. Send email me your

467
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:17,360
Speaker 1: seventeen digit vin. All right, and then if you could

468
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 1: email me, you know, obviously this car is modified. If

469
00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:23,159
Speaker 1: you could tell me what kits in there, let me

470
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:28,000
Speaker 1: do a little research this week. Alright, Okay, because something's

471
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:30,920
Speaker 1: doesn't I agree with you. Something doesn't make sense. You've

472
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:33,920
Speaker 1: owned the carsons now or for a while. No, no,

473
00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 1: I only had it for about a year, all right.

474
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:37,760
Speaker 1: Did it Did it come with the supercharger on it?

475
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:40,320
Speaker 1: Or it's it's no, no I put I put a

476
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 1: Kenny Bell super charger when I got it. Okay. And

477
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:46,040
Speaker 1: then when prior to that, did you have the charging

478
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:49,159
Speaker 1: system issue? I don't remember. You know what it is.

479
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:52,000
Speaker 1: I never noticed it. You know, I'm only noticing it

480
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:54,240
Speaker 1: now because i'm you know, I'm actually I think I'm

481
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 1: losing power. People. You're trying to turn it. Did you

482
00:24:57,359 --> 00:24:59,520
Speaker 1: happen to did you happen to talk to Kenny Bell?

483
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:01,800
Speaker 1: If that's the manufacture of the supercharger and explain the

484
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:05,399
Speaker 1: problem to them. No, I actually haven't because I think

485
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:08,560
Speaker 1: it's more of an electrical issue than a supercharger issue.

486
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:10,040
Speaker 1: You know, it's more of a you know, tuning an

487
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:13,199
Speaker 1: issue or whatever. Well, it can't hurt I'm sure they

488
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:15,359
Speaker 1: I'm sure they've run into it before. If it's if

489
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:17,760
Speaker 1: it's if it's something they've seen before, then it would

490
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 1: be a whole lot easier than reinventing the wheel trying

491
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 1: to figure it out. Um, you know, it depends on

492
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:24,639
Speaker 1: how good their tech department is. I I you know,

493
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:26,920
Speaker 1: I don't know. Um, I'm just trying to solve it

494
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:30,200
Speaker 1: in my head myself right now. But the charging system

495
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:31,879
Speaker 1: wiring is what I want to look at. That's why

496
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 1: I want to see the vent. So if you send

497
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:34,920
Speaker 1: me the vent, I'll get you an answer on the

498
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:38,840
Speaker 1: charging system, will start the ball from there. How's that? Okay?

499
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 1: Thank you? All right, you're very welcome. You got my

500
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 1: email Ron at card Doctor show dot com. Yes, okay,

501
00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 1: cool beans. All right, you do that and we'll go

502
00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:49,359
Speaker 1: from there. Thanks John, I appreciate it. You're very welcome.

503
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:52,840
Speaker 1: Eight zero. Let's pull over and take a pause. We'll

504
00:25:52,840 --> 00:26:23,720
Speaker 1: be back right after this. M Yeah, hey, Ronny and

505
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:25,840
Speaker 1: your car doctor, lets bang on some fenders. Let's go

506
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:28,160
Speaker 1: and talk to Tom with Nyack, New York, two thousand eleven.

507
00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:31,399
Speaker 1: Chevy expressed, Tom, thank you for waiting. You've been very patient,

508
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:33,560
Speaker 1: my friend. How can I help you? Hey? Wrong? How

509
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:38,200
Speaker 1: what's going on? UM? I got the It's a two

510
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:41,520
Speaker 1: thousand and eleven Express for speed blow and motor UM.

511
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:45,880
Speaker 1: The register is a six wire the I guess it's

512
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:48,840
Speaker 1: like a sighten gauge. The red wire and the appin

513
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:51,520
Speaker 1: with the black tracer right, that comes from the fuse

514
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:54,960
Speaker 1: that comes from the fort M fuse that is very

515
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:57,439
Speaker 1: hot to the point where it's melting in the plastic

516
00:26:57,560 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 1: on the connector. UM, but only on high because I

517
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:05,480
Speaker 1: can hold my my finger on it. UM at any

518
00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:07,920
Speaker 1: other speed, it's cool as a cucumber. Put it on high,

519
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:10,120
Speaker 1: you can't keep your finger on there from one twenty

520
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:13,080
Speaker 1: seconds without getting Do you have access to can you

521
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 1: do you have any kind of a clamp on ampmeter? Tom? Um?

522
00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:18,879
Speaker 1: I'd love to see. I'd love to see what the

523
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 1: current roy is on that line. I mean that's a

524
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:24,359
Speaker 1: forty M blower. Um, you know it's a forty m fuse.

525
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:26,800
Speaker 1: It feeds that from the underhood fuse block. And if

526
00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:29,720
Speaker 1: it's if it's you know, if it's above thirty ams,

527
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:34,320
Speaker 1: i'd be concerned. Well, I changed like going. At first,

528
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:36,480
Speaker 1: I thought it was the resistance, because what happened was

529
00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:39,160
Speaker 1: UM high speed would cut out once in a while

530
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:41,359
Speaker 1: and popped the hood go on the kneath just touched

531
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:43,760
Speaker 1: the resistor. It'd come right on and right maybe to

532
00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:46,520
Speaker 1: resist this band. So I changed the resistance and it

533
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:48,359
Speaker 1: ran fine, and it always works. By the way, the

534
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:51,520
Speaker 1: high speed always worked. So after a couple of weeks,

535
00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:53,360
Speaker 1: does not let me just look at a curiosity see

536
00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:55,879
Speaker 1: if everything's okay. I'm there. I pulled it off again

537
00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:58,320
Speaker 1: and I could see the connector melted a little bit

538
00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:01,520
Speaker 1: more and a little bit of burning at the base

539
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:05,879
Speaker 1: of the apin in the resistance. So I checked around.

540
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:07,720
Speaker 1: I looked at my owner's manual. But maybe there was

541
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 1: a relay. There's no relay for that. Went on a

542
00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:15,159
Speaker 1: couple of YouTube sites and googled and sort of like

543
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:17,960
Speaker 1: what you were saying, The amper drawer on the blow

544
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:20,840
Speaker 1: motor is no good. Replace the blow motor, he says,

545
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:22,480
Speaker 1: You know what the heck, it's two and a half

546
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:26,080
Speaker 1: years old. Anyway, it was originally replaced by Chevrolet back

547
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:28,280
Speaker 1: too and years ago. So I said, all right, I'll

548
00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:31,359
Speaker 1: just replace it. The It's easy to do with It's

549
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:34,200
Speaker 1: a no brainer. It's right there. No, And you did that,

550
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 1: and you still got the problem. Still did it, and

551
00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:39,240
Speaker 1: I still got the problem. But now what I'm wondering

552
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:43,400
Speaker 1: It could the pin it's the nut topin but the

553
00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:48,560
Speaker 1: connection on the A wire is so badly singed. Could

554
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 1: that be creating a resistance? Absolutely? You know. Then there's

555
00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:54,320
Speaker 1: then there's another problem with these. Do you have access

556
00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:57,920
Speaker 1: to any kind of technical information? Tom? Um? Only what

557
00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:00,360
Speaker 1: I can find on the internet. Um. There's a document

558
00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:05,960
Speaker 1: from GM document I DAS to seventy four nine. It's

559
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:08,760
Speaker 1: got an internal number p I E zero two oh one,

560
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:11,840
Speaker 1: and it talks about blower motor and operative airflow issues

561
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:14,200
Speaker 1: and high resistance in the blower. It's the twenty three

562
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:17,120
Speaker 1: page document. I've seen it. I've read it, and it

563
00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:21,280
Speaker 1: starts talking about problems with wiring connectors, things like you're describing,

564
00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:24,120
Speaker 1: and it's probably it's probably something you want to try

565
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:26,760
Speaker 1: and get your hands on to uh to read it,

566
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:28,200
Speaker 1: to at least have a copy of it, and they

567
00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:31,120
Speaker 1: go through a detailed step by step because this was

568
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:33,520
Speaker 1: an engineering problem back in twelve. But it's a good

569
00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:38,760
Speaker 1: pages long. But what I planned on doing tomorrow actually was,

570
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:43,720
Speaker 1: since this plug the connector is so compromised as it is, um,

571
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:46,880
Speaker 1: I was going to trend back to the plastic on

572
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:52,360
Speaker 1: the and and release the the eight the red wire right,

573
00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 1: and I was going to splice a new connection onto

574
00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 1: it and then plug the other five in and then

575
00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:01,280
Speaker 1: plug in the power line it on. If it runs cool,

576
00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:04,080
Speaker 1: I know it was my connection. It's not gonna have

577
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:06,320
Speaker 1: to go a little bit deeper, right, And then I

578
00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:08,440
Speaker 1: would I would definitely want to see an ampers draw

579
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:11,640
Speaker 1: on that line, just to see what it's pulling. Okay,

580
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:15,480
Speaker 1: so it could be beyond the bowler, right, it could

581
00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:18,080
Speaker 1: be beyond the blower. Like I said, you get your

582
00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:21,880
Speaker 1: hands on that document. They go through this. It's involved,

583
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:25,440
Speaker 1: it's very elaborate, um and but it will it will

584
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:28,560
Speaker 1: go into detail. I saw it, oh, five six months ago.

585
00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:30,960
Speaker 1: I remember coming across it for something else, and I

586
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:33,280
Speaker 1: thought it was interesting. But it's something definitely for a

587
00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:34,960
Speaker 1: situation like this, you want to get your hands on

588
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:38,280
Speaker 1: to read. So if I just if I do get

589
00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:41,840
Speaker 1: lucky and it is the terminal end and I do

590
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:43,880
Speaker 1: what I want to do tomorrow, what it is running cool?

591
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:47,760
Speaker 1: I could buy another wiring horness from GM. I know that.

592
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:53,480
Speaker 1: Is there any way to take the good pins out

593
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:56,200
Speaker 1: of the old horness and put them into the new

594
00:30:56,240 --> 00:31:00,240
Speaker 1: one instead of cutting and splicing perfectly good waters you

595
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:01,520
Speaker 1: want to get you know, you want to use a

596
00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:05,040
Speaker 1: pin disassembly kit, which you know snap on Mac. A

597
00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:07,280
Speaker 1: bunch of manufacturers will having I'm sure it's out there

598
00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:09,600
Speaker 1: on the internet to thank God for the Internet. But

599
00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:11,160
Speaker 1: it's just you want to buy a pin release kit

600
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:13,640
Speaker 1: where you can back the terminals out and work your

601
00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:16,280
Speaker 1: way backwards, you know, so it can be done, can

602
00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:20,200
Speaker 1: be done. Absolutely. I really don't want to compromise five

603
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:22,840
Speaker 1: good wires for one right, Yeah, no, absolutely, But like

604
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:24,840
Speaker 1: I said, let's do an amtro test too, Let's see

605
00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:27,800
Speaker 1: what it's pulling. Alright, kid, thank you very much, You're

606
00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 1: very welcome. Good luck to you. Tom. Let's get over

607
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:32,640
Speaker 1: and talk to Frank Congress New York. Frank your your

608
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:35,600

647
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:58,720
Speaker 1: We were talking about real quick um a couple of

648
00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:00,680
Speaker 1: weeks ago. We're talking about how hackers and you know,

649
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:03,400
Speaker 1: getting into the cars. Article came out Jeep hackers are

650
00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:07,080
Speaker 1: back with a scary new trick to security researchers detailed

651
00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:11,880
Speaker 1: an apparent hacking toeen jeep Cherokee, recently sharing their exploits

652
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:14,920
Speaker 1: at the black Hat Hacker conference in Las Vegas. Charlie

653
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:18,360
Speaker 1: Miller and Chris Vealessic, two hacking experts behind the stunt,

654
00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:21,640
Speaker 1: demonstrated to a Wired reporter last year how they're about

655
00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:24,000
Speaker 1: to access the SUVs computer system and then rewrite the

656
00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:27,040
Speaker 1: firmware to plant a malicious code allowing them to control

657
00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:29,680
Speaker 1: everything from Americ conditioning and music to the jeep steerings

658
00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:31,440
Speaker 1: and breaks. D da da da da da da. The

659
00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:33,880
Speaker 1: new tricks this year are scarier. The article goes on

660
00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:36,920
Speaker 1: to state, including unintended acceleration, the ability to turn the

661
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:39,320
Speaker 1: vehicle steering wheel, and slam on the brakes of higher speeds.

662
00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:42,520
Speaker 1: Their previous research only allowed them to commandeer these features

663
00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:44,399
Speaker 1: that jeep was going slower than five miles an hour.

664
00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:47,440
Speaker 1: While last year's hack was done remotely, this year's required

665
00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:50,440
Speaker 1: a laptop directly plugged into the jeep's network located just

666
00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:55,600
Speaker 1: under its dashboard. Uh you know again, we're back to

667
00:34:55,680 --> 00:35:00,560
Speaker 1: this self driving car automation depending upon on the machine

668
00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:03,040
Speaker 1: to do what it's supposed to do, and you just

669
00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:06,839
Speaker 1: have to ask yourself, you know, where is this gonna

670
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:09,239
Speaker 1: end up? Uh? You know we were talking before the

671
00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:11,040
Speaker 1: show today. If you get out to the Facebook page,

672
00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:14,479
Speaker 1: Tom posted a little cartoon about the police officer pulling

673
00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:17,600
Speaker 1: over the driverless car and you know, him calling into

674
00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:19,920
Speaker 1: headquarters and saying, hey, just pulled over a driverless car.

675
00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:23,080
Speaker 1: Who do I issue the ticket to the manufacturer, the owner,

676
00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:25,759
Speaker 1: the lawyer, the guy who wrote the software, et cetera.

677
00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:28,520
Speaker 1: And you know that's a very big part of the puzzle.

678
00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:32,920
Speaker 1: But you know, now we're talking about hacking. And remember

679
00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:35,200
Speaker 1: if you were here two hours ago, that's when this

680
00:35:35,239 --> 00:35:38,000
Speaker 1: show started today, and I was talking about you know,

681
00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:42,239
Speaker 1: last man standing in reference to you know, who's gonna

682
00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:44,239
Speaker 1: be the last guy? Who's gonna be the last repair shop?

683
00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:46,400
Speaker 1: Not gonna be me, I can tell you that, but

684
00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:48,360
Speaker 1: you know who's gonna be the last repair shop? And

685
00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:51,319
Speaker 1: hundred years from now when they look back and say

686
00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:54,000
Speaker 1: the the the early part of the twenty first century

687
00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:56,040
Speaker 1: was where we saw the demise of auto repair and

688
00:35:56,080 --> 00:36:00,480
Speaker 1: the auto repair shops going away. Things like this are

689
00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:04,360
Speaker 1: definitely pushing that trend to becoming a reality because you

690
00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:07,640
Speaker 1: know they're gonna You're gonna see. You want my prediction.

691
00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:11,839
Speaker 1: If they can hack into cars, watches, they take away

692
00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:13,840
Speaker 1: civil liberties. Now I'm gonna get on the black helicopter

693
00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:16,719
Speaker 1: conspiracy conversation and the government will sit there and say,

694
00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:18,799
Speaker 1: you know what, no self driving cars unless we take

695
00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:21,520
Speaker 1: control of the systems. Nobody pickses it unless you're a

696
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:25,719
Speaker 1: government certified mechanic. I don't know. It's getting scary and

697
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:28,480
Speaker 1: scarier out there each and every day. I'm not an

698
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:30,600
Speaker 1: any in the car doctor. Good mechanics, while you can

699
00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:33,600
Speaker 1: still find one, aren't expensive. They're priceless. Se
