1
00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:06,160
Speaker 1: Ron An Aian. The things you least expect, that you

2
00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:07,760
Speaker 1: that you don't think they're going to be a problem,

3
00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:10,000
Speaker 1: all of a sudden become a problem. That's why I say,

4
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:13,640
Speaker 1: mild goes wild and something simple is really the way

5
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:18,000
Speaker 1: to go. The Car Doctor.

6
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:20,119
Speaker 2: I've got a problem with the light.

7
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:23,599
Speaker 3: Like all the indicator lights come on when I turn

8
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 3: the vehicle on.

9
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:26,600
Speaker 1: And they stay on, and they stay on.

10
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:30,480
Speaker 4: Welcome to the radio home of ron Anian the Car Doctor.

11
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:33,879
Speaker 4: Since nineteen ninety one, this is where car owners the

12
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:38,200
Speaker 4: world overturned to for their definitive opinion on automotive repair.

13
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 4: If your mechanics giving you a busy signal, pick up

14
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 4: the phone and call in.

15
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 1: The garage doors are open, but I am here to

16
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:48,560
Speaker 1: take your call at eighty five five five six ninety

17
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:50,280
Speaker 1: nine hundred and now he.

18
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:53,200
Speaker 4: Running.

19
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 1: Okay, listen, let's let's get this straight this hour. My

20
00:00:57,320 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 1: mother's here and he's telling me that I can't talk

21
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 1: long because he's got a lot call. So let me

22
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 1: move this along real fist. But I want to get

23
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:04,959
Speaker 1: this in. This is very important. Before we go to

24
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 1: the phones. I want to talk real fast about batteries.

25
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 1: Two minutes, Tom, I promise a lot of battery failures

26
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 1: this week in the shop. It's called out baby, all right.

27
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 1: And nothing more frustrating than the examples of vehicles that

28
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:21,319
Speaker 1: were in three weeks ago, five weeks ago, and every

29
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 1: car got a battery test because they all get a

30
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 1: battery test at the shop this time of the year

31
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 1: when they come in for service. And we had three

32
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 1: cars this week. Those batteries tested absolutely fine. They are

33
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,039
Speaker 1: in cars that range in age from three to four

34
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 1: years old. Three to four years old, and those three

35
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 1: cars all took batteries. Two of those cars are agms.

36
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,199
Speaker 1: So my point is, I want you to think about

37
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 1: your battery. I want you to think about what you're driving.

38
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 1: If it's an AGM and it's four going on five years,

39
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 1: don't wait change the battery. I don't care what the

40
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 1: test says. If you're going to be in a part

41
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:56,560
Speaker 1: of the country for the next two months, it's going

42
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 1: to be extremely cold. It's only going to be a

43
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 1: satisfaction in a afety thing. If you're driving a Honda

44
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 1: and it's got a Group fifty one battery in it

45
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 1: and the batteries older than three years, I'd go play

46
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 1: the lottery. I'd consider myself that lucky. But just be aware,

47
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 1: all right, if you want more battery information, how they work,

48
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 1: gain some more knowledge. Auto batteries dot Com of course,

49
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:19,520
Speaker 1: is our go to reference site. You want to get

50
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 1: out there and look at that and read there. But

51
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 1: just understand, batteries are a very hot thing right now.

52
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,239
Speaker 1: The local supply warehouse is actually running out of a

53
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:29,519
Speaker 1: few specific numbers. They had to pull some in from

54
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 1: different places outside of New Jersey this week. So batteries

55
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 1: are gonna be a big deal. You can see it.

56
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:36,399
Speaker 1: I just want to make sure you're all as safe

57
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 1: as you can possibly be. Don't be like my knucklehead

58
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 1: one customer, and I tell him that to his face.

59
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 1: The car six years old, it's got the original battery

60
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 1: in it. And his answer is, I'll wait till it dies. Yeah,

61
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:48,519
Speaker 1: wait till it dies three o'clock in the afternoon on

62
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:50,520
Speaker 1: a Sunday. Then what are you gonna do? Anyway?

63
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:51,080
Speaker 5: Now?

64
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:52,799
Speaker 1: Anyway, question quick question though.

65
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:56,839
Speaker 6: Yeah, I've always heard that hot weather is really bad

66
00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 6: on batteries.

67
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 1: So which is worse battery? I think it's the stream

68
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 1: tom And that's a great question. It's the extreme. We

69
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:07,839
Speaker 1: sell more batteries in January and July than we do

70
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 1: in any of the months out of the year. It's

71
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 1: those temperature extremes. It's those cycles of temperature the other

72
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 1: thing that kills batteries. Right now today in New Jersey

73
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 1: it's about thirty six, almost thirty eight degrees. Monday it

74
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 1: was two degrees. It was zero. When I went outside

75
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:25,800
Speaker 1: the house to go to the gym on Monday it

76
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 1: was zero degrees. So you know, the temperature swings play

77
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:33,359
Speaker 1: havoc with batteries as well. But again, dead battery no fun.

78
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 1: And if you're having a dead battery because of the

79
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 1: cold weather, everybody's having a dead battery because of the

80
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 1: cold weather. And I don't care how good you think

81
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 1: Triple A is. They can't be everywhere all at once.

82
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 1: So enough said, you've been warned. Let's go open to

83
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 1: the phones. Tom, let me get to work. Who's my

84
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 1: first up? Let's go to Mike and Michigan eleven town

85
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 1: car and a check engine light. Mike, welcome to the

86
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 1: car doctor, sir, how can I help?

87
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 7: Hey?

88
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 8: Thanks for taking my car run. The issue started a

89
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 8: couple of weeks ago. Car starting fine in the morning,

90
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 8: everything was normal, but driving to my destination, check engine

91
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 8: light came on, got my destination, shut it off for

92
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 8: about an hour, came back, and I had an extended

93
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 8: crank time before it would start. I had the I

94
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 8: scan the code. The only code was a P sixteen

95
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 8: thirty three, which Google told me was low bultage to

96
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 8: the teep a live memory system. And as long as

97
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:24,359
Speaker 8: that check engine light was on, it had extended crank

98
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:26,479
Speaker 8: times unless I put the key in the run position

99
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 8: for maybe three seconds before I cranked it, then it

100
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 8: would start normally. And then as of yesterday, the check

101
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 8: engine light went out and it starts normally with no

102
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:37,920
Speaker 8: extended cranking. Now, I just didn't know if you'd seen

103
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 8: this before, and if I have an electrical gremlin or

104
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 8: something I need to figure out.

105
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, yes, and yes. So let's let's talk for

106
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:46,920
Speaker 1: a second. What are you using to get codes? Is

107
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,279
Speaker 1: this OBD two or is this year make model?

108
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 8: I think it's OBD two because when I plug it's

109
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:59,920
Speaker 8: just as an Atron auto scant as a pretty remedial scan.

110
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 8: But I think it just looked OBD two.

111
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 1: You're you're you know, I'm trying to think of a

112
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 1: good analogy, but in this particular case listen. OBD two

113
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 1: stuff is great, okay, if I'm chasing if I've got

114
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 1: a P zero one thirty five oh two heater circuit

115
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:17,719
Speaker 1: fault in the car stole runs, it just sets this code.

116
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,040
Speaker 1: I can get by with an OBD two scan tool

117
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 1: and something that's going to read data. If I'm suffering

118
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 1: from a loss of voltage to the PCM, which is

119
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:29,600
Speaker 1: what you're going through, and or am I suffering an

120
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 1: internal PCM failure, I kind of want a ear Make

121
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:35,840
Speaker 1: model scan tool behind me, and I want to know

122
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 1: how to use it. All right. One of the things

123
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 1: I'm going to go look for is there is going

124
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 1: to be a failure pit inside of a year Make

125
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 1: model version that Ford would release. A PIT is a

126
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,480
Speaker 1: piece of information. It's going to be for MEM Failure

127
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:54,559
Speaker 1: Mode Effects Management. Is this vehicle in FORMEM and it'll

128
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:58,239
Speaker 1: say yes or no. For MEM is a backup system

129
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 1: that Ford designed back in the late seven in these

130
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 1: early eighties to get cars home when the basics died,

131
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:06,160
Speaker 1: you know, when the support system died. They didn't want,

132
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:08,360
Speaker 1: you know, they didn't want they didn't want, you know,

133
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 1: found on road debt to actually mean found on road

134
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 1: debt you know, so they put a femmem system in

135
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 1: which actually came about as a result of Ford Aerospace.

136
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 1: But that's the story for another time, not when I

137
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 1: got all these calls. So I want to see that

138
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 1: there there are some known issues with these particular cars.

139
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 1: They will lose the five vault reference signal. It could

140
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 1: be a bad sensor. You've got to go through the

141
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 1: list of sensors that are all five vault reference the

142
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 1: next time it happens. If you shoot me an email

143
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:42,279
Speaker 1: ron at cardoctorshow dot com. I know I've got a

144
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 1: case study and on one of the cars where they

145
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:49,160
Speaker 1: talk about you know, which sensors to disconnector had to

146
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,479
Speaker 1: go about in troubleshoot a five vault or loss of

147
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 1: five vault reference. If you're handy with this kind of

148
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:56,840
Speaker 1: electrical work, I'm glad to send it to you. You know,

149
00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 1: if you're not make sure your mechanic is. This could be,

150
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 1: like I said, said, anything from a problem in PCM

151
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:07,279
Speaker 1: wiring to a bad PCM itself. All right, and you

152
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:08,800
Speaker 1: know there's going to be somery.

153
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 8: And that can be intermittent because like I say, the

154
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 8: light went off and now it's fine. So it'd be.

155
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 1: Okay, absolutely, absolutely listen.

156
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 8: I will send you the email and I guess I'll

157
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 8: talk to my mechanics too. Would see if if she

158
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 8: would be familiar with with their Okay one real quick, Yeah,

159
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 8: I did take it to autos on it. Would their

160
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 8: scatter have been any better than minor is there's still

161
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 8: something that's going to be more into Okay, No.

162
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 1: They're they're just doing ob D two. You know they're

163
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 1: doing you know the parts stores are doing ob D two.

164
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 1: It says P zero one thirty five ge. You know

165
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 1: you must need an oxygen sensor G. You know you

166
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 1: must need a pcm G.

167
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 2: You know.

168
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 1: You know code? You know, living and dying by the

169
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 1: code or I'm saying living by the code, you'll die

170
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 1: by the code. I've had two cars in the last

171
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 1: three weeks P zero one seven to one lean fuel condition. Right.

172
00:07:57,360 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 1: Imagine if you had taken that to an autoparts store.

173
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 1: What part would you change? Anything that affects fuel trim?

174
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 9: Yeah, you have no idea, right, you'd have.

175
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 1: To replicate the problem. And in reality, had you changed

176
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 1: any one of the sensors that affects fuel trim, you

177
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 1: would have been wrong because you know what was wrong

178
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 1: with those cars. It had ethinal. They had ethanol in them.

179
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 1: They had they had e eighty five minue when they're

180
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 1: not rated for it, and it made the vehicles run lean.

181
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 1: Nothing replaces nothing replaces diagnosis steps one, two, three, five

182
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 1: Right now. He may not be able to duplicate it.

183
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:36,440
Speaker 1: It may take a couple of times of you know,

184
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:39,560
Speaker 1: you know, rub and tug and pull on the wiring

185
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:42,720
Speaker 1: harness and trying to get it to you know, act up.

186
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 1: It may take a flat pomp smack on top of

187
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 1: the PCM, but you know, it's it's it's at that

188
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 1: sixteen thirty three is an indication of keep alive memory

189
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 1: loss to the PCM. It's saying it's either an internal

190
00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 1: failure or lost voltage lines coming in on any one

191
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:03,559
Speaker 1: of the five powers or three grounds issues with.

192
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 8: Three guds definitely related to the extended ranking time though.

193
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:09,320
Speaker 1: It sounds like it. Yes, from my seat here, that

194
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 1: would be my first indication, all right, especially especially if

195
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:16,439
Speaker 1: it went into FORMEM, if it went into failure mode.

196
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:21,680
Speaker 1: It's in backup. It's making rudimentary calculations to make that

197
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:23,679
Speaker 1: vehicle run, and they're not going to be as precise

198
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:24,200
Speaker 1: and crisp.

199
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 8: Okay, all right, all right, very good information. I appreciate.

200
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 1: You're very welcome, sir. You'd be well, you're welcome, You're welcome. Yeah.

201
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 1: I for them is horrible. For them is absolutely horrible.

202
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:37,080
Speaker 1: Let me pull over, take a pause before I do.

203
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 1: By the way, just a reminder, the Car Doctor store

204
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:41,840
Speaker 1: is up and open. We had some issues with Shopify

205
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 1: this week. We got them straightened out and h let's

206
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 1: just leave it there. You don't want to know what

207
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 1: that conversation was like, you know, well, there's nothing we

208
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 1: can do for you. Yeah, well listen, if you don't

209
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 1: do something for me, we're going to talk about it

210
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 1: on a nationally syndicated radio show Looking Lo and Behold.

211
00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:58,840
Speaker 1: Twenty four hours later, the problem was solved. Gee, how

212
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,559
Speaker 1: did that happened? Eight five five five six zero nine

213
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 1: nine zero zero Ron on any of the Car Doctor.

214
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:14,680
Speaker 1: I'll be back right after this. No, God, that's right.

215
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 6: If you call and we're not live, you can leave

Speaker 6: a message and we'll call you back to get you

217
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 6: on the air with Ron. Eight five five five six

218
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:25,320
Speaker 6: zero nine nine zero zero. Speaking of Ron, here he is.

219
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 1: Let's keep moving along this hour. Let's go to Las

220
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 1: Vegas and talk to Mark twenty four hundred, a Launchra hybrid. Mark,

221
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the card doctor, sir, how can I

222
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:34,079
Speaker 1: help you today?

223
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 5: Hi?

224
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 2: Ron, thank you for your time. I really appreciate it. Welcome.

225
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 2: I got a couple questions regarding oil on this twenty

226
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:50,079
Speaker 2: four Lantra hybrid that my wife bought back in July.

227
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 2: I'm just not clear on how often I should change

228
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 2: the oil on this. The manual says every eight thousand miles,

229
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 2: and then if you look further down, it says if

230
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:04,440
Speaker 2: you're in severe conditions, which I think Las Vegas is

231
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 2: considered severe, it says like every thirty seven fifty. So

232
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 2: I'm a little confused as to I wanted to get

233
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 2: your opinion on how often do you think I should

234
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 2: change the oil on a hybrid, since I've never owned

235
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:18,720
Speaker 2: a hybrid before.

236
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:24,200
Speaker 1: The hybrid doesn't change the oil interval that option that much,

237
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 1: all right, But first let me know, Well, it's it's

238
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 1: still an internal combustion engine. I mean it's it's a

239
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 1: little tougher on it. There's a lot more stop start,

240
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 1: there's a lot more on off, there's a lot more

241
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 1: extensive idle time I get all that. Let me say this,

242
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 1: you're you're, you're, you're showing me how smart you are.

243
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 1: And I mean that very sincerely, because a lot of

244
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:45,319
Speaker 1: people don't look at environment. They just look at mileage,

245
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 1: and yeah, i'd consider I listen, I've been in Vegas

246
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 1: in the in the summertime, like holy con, I've been

247
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 1: in Vegas in the winter time and it's still too hot. Yeah,

248
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 1: so you know, it's it's it's you know, environment counts, brother,

249
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 1: environment you know, dictates a lot. So you know, right,

250
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 1: just as important as mileage, interval, is time, and is

251
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 1: type of oil you know, being put in I'm gonna

252
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 1: speak in general terms. I know a lot of people

253
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 1: that will just you know, quick loud the car, any car,

254
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 1: and you know, for the life of the car, and

255
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 1: then when something fails, they'll find the mechanic and try

256
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:21,319
Speaker 1: and strike the relationship then, which I think is a mistake.

257
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 1: You know, I think just as important what kind, what

258
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 1: brand of oil, as long as it meets manufacturer spec

259
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 1: I'm happy, right, you know, but oh I.

260
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 2: Always use I always use full synthetic.

261
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 1: Right, well, full synthetic. But yeah, who's branding a pennzoil Castro,

262
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 1: one of the major brands. I think, I think you're fine.

263
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 1: And then who's filter? As long as it's a good

264
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:45,960
Speaker 1: quality filter, and OE filter is a wonderful thing. If

265
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 1: that were mine, or if that was something I was

266
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 1: taking care of at the shop. You know, I'm gonna

267
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:52,320
Speaker 1: tell you, let's do the first oil change in four

268
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:54,719
Speaker 1: thousand miles. I'm just gonna cut it in half.

269
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:58,080
Speaker 2: That's what I did. Yeah, and that's what I did.

270
00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 2: We already took it. Yeah, we took it for the

271
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 2: first oil change at four thousand. And to add to

272
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:04,960
Speaker 2: the confusion, they put a sticker on the window that

273
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 2: says your next oil change is it twenty one thousand,

274
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 2: which doesn't make sense.

275
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 1: No, they're not, because they did it wrong.

276
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 2: Well, I can't imagine they want me to go right

277
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 2: seventeen thousand miles between the next oil change. This didn't

278
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 2: make sense. I can tell you think they made a

279
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 2: mistake of it.

280
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, they probably wanted to put twelve thousand. They

281
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 1: probably have the two in the one backwards right now.

282
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 2: That could be you know, that would be my either.

283
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:29,679
Speaker 1: That or the guy is just you know, as my

284
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:31,720
Speaker 1: uncle Steve would say, there's a word there's a word

285
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:33,440
Speaker 1: in Armenian for it, but I can't say it on

286
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:35,720
Speaker 1: radio because if somebody translates it, I'll get in trouble.

287
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,200
Speaker 1: It's one of the seven thirty words. But I can

288
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 1: hear Uncle Steve in my head going. So you know,

289
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 1: I still every four thousand, four thousand.

290
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:47,840
Speaker 2: I think I can stick. If I stick with every

291
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:50,560
Speaker 2: five thousand, well, be okay. That's what I do on

292
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 2: my vehicles.

293
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:54,440
Speaker 1: Provided and it depends on the color and what does

294
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 1: the oil look like coming out. I'm one of those

295
00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 1: I want to see the color. I want to rub

296
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 1: it between my thumb and forefinger. You know how dirty

297
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 1: is it? You know, listen my plow truck or my

298
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:07,720
Speaker 1: my twenty two Silverado. It's a twenty two. It's two

299
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,040
Speaker 1: going on three years old. Now it'll be three years old, dismay.

300
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 1: It's got all of seventy two hundred miles on it.

301
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:16,840
Speaker 1: I think I've plowed with it. I think I've plowed

302
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:18,960
Speaker 1: with it three times. And I drive it just to

303
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:21,160
Speaker 1: put mileage on it, just so that it doesn't you know,

304
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:24,680
Speaker 1: I just want to keep it fresh. I've changed the oil.

305
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 1: Danny and I were looking at this the other day.

306
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 1: I've changed the oil five times, you know, in seven

307
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 1: thousand miles, and it's actually it's actually starting to get

308
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 1: a little bit of yellow paste in it from moisture

309
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 1: because condensation is forming. So I added some oil edit.

310
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 1: If I actually put some some of the desludging material

311
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 1: agent I can't think of the name of it from

312
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 1: Hotshot Secret. I actually put a couple of ounces of

313
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:55,360
Speaker 1: that in it, and you know that will help break

314
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:57,800
Speaker 1: down the sludge and next oil change it'll come out

315
00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 1: it'll come out that much quicker, or not quicker, but cleaner.

316
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 1: And you know, I like the stuff from Hotshot Secret

317
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 1: to do just that. They're you know, my point becomes

318
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 1: that mileage and mileage intervals and uh time all count. So, yeah,

319
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 1: you want to do five thousand, I'm fine with I'm

320
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 1: fine with that five thousand and a good filter, okay,

321
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 1: and at a minimum every six months. Yeah, I think

322
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 1: you're great. You know, I think I think you're great.

323
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 5: Good.

324
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 2: Second question, let me just ask you another quick question

325
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 2: about my step son has a twenty thirteen Cooper. He's

326
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 2: got a small oil leak. I suspect it's coming from

327
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 2: the oil filter housing and they got some O rings

328
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 2: in there. Yep, does it?

329
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 7: Do you?

330
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 2: You know the oil stop leak additives? Do those work? No?

331
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 1: Next question? Okay, listen, it's a Mini Cooper. There's there's

332
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 1: there's no sentence. There's no sentence that begins with my

333
00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 1: Mini Cooper and small oil leak. Actually go to get

334
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 1: it's it just it just doesn't apply, all right, So

335
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,680
Speaker 1: it's got to be my Mini Cooper has an oil

336
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 1: leak that would make Texas proud. You know it's because

337
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 1: it's as big as Texas. So yeah, that's that's out.

338
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 2: Ok. Forget that.

339
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:15,320
Speaker 1: Forget that.

340
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I won't be using that anyway. Thank you

341
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:19,920
Speaker 2: for your time. Ron. I got a couple of your

342
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 2: coffee mugs and I love them.

343
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 8: Thank you.

344
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 1: I appreciate that.

345
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 8: Mark.

346
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 1: I'm glad you're happy with them, and I'm glad all

347
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 1: as well out Vegas well, Vegas Way. You'd be safe,

348
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 1: my friend. You take good care. You're very welcome. Yeah,

349
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:35,160
Speaker 1: you know, there is no such thing as my Mini

350
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 1: Cooper an oil leak. It's you know what a mess.

351
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:42,680
Speaker 1: I got practical approach to udo repair. I gotta give,

352
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 1: I gotta give more kudos for that. That's you know,

353
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 1: all of that is part of it. I can't tell

354
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 1: you how many times that we we still it just

355
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 1: comes back to basics. It just comes back to common sense,

356
00:16:56,800 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 1: right that that fluid replacement is still critical. You know,

357
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 1: if you own the vehicle and you're trying to get

358
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:07,640
Speaker 1: to year seven and eight, nine, ten, eleven, the fluid

359
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 1: intervals you possess now will get you there if you

360
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:14,520
Speaker 1: lease the vehicle. If you lease the vehicle, I wouldn't

361
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:16,679
Speaker 1: change the oil anymore than the book says if they

362
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 1: say once a year, and that's the way they want

363
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:20,200
Speaker 1: to do it to get you to buy it. Hey,

364
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:24,680
Speaker 1: it's their problem. Next, I understand that. I just want

365
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 1: to also comment about, you know, oil changes and how

366
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 1: they're being done. And this is not a knock on

367
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 1: car dealerships. This is a knock on repair shops because

368
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 1: I see it from both I see it on both

369
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:40,159
Speaker 1: sides of the scale. Dealerships and other independent repair shops

370
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 1: and chain stores. They do sloppy oil changes. They don't

371
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:48,440
Speaker 1: change drain plug gaskets all right. If you're driving a Toyota,

372
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:53,879
Speaker 1: a Honda, certain Gms, certain Hyundais, and some of the others,

373
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 1: the Volvos and some of the other highline vehicles, and

374
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:59,240
Speaker 1: there isn't a drain plug gasket on your ticket. Ask

375
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:01,200
Speaker 1: your mechanic which you did that you were so fortunate

376
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:03,119
Speaker 1: that decided to give something away. And if they go

377
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:05,440
Speaker 1: what that means they're not changing it. That means they're

378
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 1: beating the heck out of the drain plug in the pan,

379
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:09,200
Speaker 1: and sooner or later that's going to be a problem.

380
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 1: Simple things make bigger issues work. Well, I'm running ady

381
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:14,719
Speaker 1: in the car, doctor, I'll be back right after this.

382
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:39,159
Speaker 1: Don't go away, and we're back, And I gotta love email.

383
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:42,280
Speaker 1: Seth is checking in. Seth sends me an email, run

384
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 1: I'm listening today Saturday, January twenty five. Fuel nozzles are

385
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 1: standing across the stores at sheets and he goes on

386
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:49,400
Speaker 1: to list them. Seth, I gotta tell you mine did

387
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:52,399
Speaker 1: not look like this, but you know Seth writes that

388
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 1: black nozzles or eighty seven, eighty nine, ninety three, green

389
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:57,960
Speaker 1: nozzles or diesels red or non ethanol ninety blue is

390
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 1: eighty eight or e fifteen, Yellow is eighty five. I

391
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:02,880
Speaker 1: didn't have a yellow handle for the e eighty five.

392
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 1: There was a yellow decal around it, but the nozzle

393
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:09,240
Speaker 1: head was a black head. Now I think they should

394
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:11,439
Speaker 1: all be I think diesel should be blue because I

395
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:15,119
Speaker 1: see diesel fuel cans all the time that are blue.

396
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 1: So I think we should have consistency in the industry. Seth,

397
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:20,160
Speaker 1: whatever you got, I love it, brother, and I'm glad

398
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:22,640
Speaker 1: you're paying attention, and I appreciate the input. I got

399
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:24,760
Speaker 1: to pay more attention at gas stations as I travel

400
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 1: because I'm telling you, I don't think they're that consistent,

401
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:28,960
Speaker 1: and I think it's confusing to people when it puts

402
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 1: them in a dangerous situation. Let's let's go back to

403
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:35,640
Speaker 1: the phones. John Connecticutwaight f three point fifty and some

404
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 1: follow up and some more questions. John, Welcome back to

405
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 1: the car doctor, sir.

406
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:43,880
Speaker 9: How can I help hey, John? Ron I was working

407
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 9: on that two thousand and eight f three fifty. I

408
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:49,359
Speaker 9: called you back in September with a power starring issue

409
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:53,800
Speaker 9: with the Raman tom right and and Pana is cutting

410
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 9: the pressure hose that had the restrict her in it,

411
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:02,440
Speaker 9: and come to find out it's just a plastic in

412
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:05,159
Speaker 9: sort that reduces the diameter of the hose down to

413
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:08,879
Speaker 9: it probably like three sixteenths from three eighths or whatever

414
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:13,480
Speaker 9: the internal dimensions are. And uh so when I took

415
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 9: took the hose off the box, I had flow. So

416
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 9: I ended up getting a new power starring pump, a

417
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:23,359
Speaker 9: set of a remand and I had a bad Reman pump.

418
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 9: So that was the issue with.

419
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:28,960
Speaker 1: You, not a surprise, right. And and you know, you

420
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:31,359
Speaker 1: know you wonder if you didn't have that restrictor in there.

421
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:35,119
Speaker 1: You wonder if no restrictor and a bad pump would

422
00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 1: make the system work? Right? Could the weak pump or

423
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 1: the low volume, low pressure pump work better without a

424
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 1: restrictor in there? Which makes you wonder why they put

425
00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:47,520
Speaker 1: the restrictor in the first place. Where they just trying

426
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 1: to make, you know, one size fits all. We'll just

427
00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:52,439
Speaker 1: make a we'll just lower the pressure on the system

428
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 1: by putting a different kind of line, but keep all

429
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:56,439
Speaker 1: the pumps the same. You wonder what goes through their

430
00:20:56,480 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 1: mind as engineers. You know that was for noise.

431
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 8: I don't know.

432
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:07,200
Speaker 1: I don't know that it's for noise. My understanding was

433
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:09,040
Speaker 1: they were trying to limit they were trying to limit

434
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:11,119
Speaker 1: pressure and volume for some reason. I'll have to go

435
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:13,720
Speaker 1: back and read notes, So I could be wrong. I

436
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:16,639
Speaker 1: could be thinking of a different system, but you know

437
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:18,520
Speaker 1: you wonder so second question.

438
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 9: Yeah, so this has the five point four with the

439
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 9: stupid spark plug design right, and doing a little research,

440
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:29,920
Speaker 9: I've seen for its recommended way of removing the plugs,

441
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:34,159
Speaker 9: and some other guys are running the engine, getting them

442
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:36,680
Speaker 9: hot and then using the impact of zip them out.

443
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:38,600
Speaker 9: And I want to know what's the wrong way to

444
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:38,960
Speaker 9: do it.

445
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:42,920
Speaker 1: So we do it cold. We'll we'll do it. We'll

446
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:45,879
Speaker 1: do it stone cold. And we have that we have.

447
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:48,639
Speaker 1: I think there's three tools on the market. We have

448
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:51,720
Speaker 1: all three, not that we've ever needed all three. They

449
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:55,480
Speaker 1: do work, all right, It is tedious. The the issue

450
00:21:55,840 --> 00:22:01,680
Speaker 1: with the issue with uh the reason those plugs break

451
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:04,240
Speaker 1: is because they will build up carbon on the insulator

452
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:07,720
Speaker 1: and that's what causes the bottom part to break off

453
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:10,200
Speaker 1: and stick in the head. But we will try to

454
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:13,399
Speaker 1: get them loose. We'll put a little rustbuster in here.

455
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 1: We actually put a shot at PB blaster in every

456
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:19,639
Speaker 1: hole and let them soak. We typically start those jobs

457
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 1: late in the day and then go home and come

458
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 1: in the next morning because we've given an overnight soak,

459
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:27,679
Speaker 1: which is what I believe Ford wanted us to do

460
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:29,240
Speaker 1: back in the beginning. I haven't looked at I know

461
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:33,359
Speaker 1: there's newer instructions out there, I just haven't looked at him, because, again,

462
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:35,359
Speaker 1: the old way is working. Why am I going to

463
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:39,439
Speaker 1: change it? You know, it's nothing to be afraid of.

464
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:42,160
Speaker 1: I've never not been able to get a plug out

465
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 1: as long as I take my time on a follow procedure,

466
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:49,120
Speaker 1: and I think you'll be fine. You know, at this point,

467
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:50,720
Speaker 1: I know you well enough from our phone calls. I

468
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 1: think you're mechanically capable, you know, just follow procedure and

469
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 1: just you know, I never liked that idea. I saw

470
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:59,280
Speaker 1: the commentary. I think Ford wants you to use an

471
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:01,640
Speaker 1: impact zing them ount Oh boy.

472
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:05,919
Speaker 9: Well the Ford method I saw as you crack them

473
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:08,000
Speaker 9: moose a little bit and then they have a solvent

474
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:10,400
Speaker 9: that you pour it on, and yes.

475
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:13,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, we like that. I like that method. I've also

476
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:16,080
Speaker 1: I've also seen the one and I've talked to guys that,

477
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:18,199
Speaker 1: you know, there's a there's one procedure out there that

478
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:20,160
Speaker 1: I've read where they're telling you to get the engine

479
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:21,920
Speaker 1: hot and just run it out with an impact gun.

480
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 1: And I'm like, yeah, I don't agree with that at all.

481
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:32,160
Speaker 9: So the threads out.

482
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 1: Well, something's going to break something, you know. You know,

483
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:38,480
Speaker 1: pure force usually gets pure problems, so you know it

484
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:42,520
Speaker 1: doesn't work. But yeah, not not Fords shining moment. I

485
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 1: got to tell you, you.

486
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:46,840
Speaker 9: Know, but any other issues with that five point four

487
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:48,280
Speaker 9: other than the sparkslug design.

488
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:53,080
Speaker 1: It's got Camp phasers, right, it's got yeah, just keep

489
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:58,359
Speaker 1: changing the oil, you know, it's just keep changing the

490
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:01,240
Speaker 1: oil and do the oil changes, you know, five thousand miles,

491
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 1: good quality oil, good filter. You know. It's it's the

492
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:08,000
Speaker 1: the Camp phasers in the variable valve timing or the

493
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:10,720
Speaker 1: death bell. But I've got to tell you that's still

494
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:12,919
Speaker 1: a better engine I think than the newer ones. I

495
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:15,240
Speaker 1: think the newer ones just got to be more complicated

496
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:18,640
Speaker 1: and more involved, you know, So I just I would

497
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:20,320
Speaker 1: hang on to that truck, especially when you look at

498
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:22,080
Speaker 1: the price of a new one. Right, how much is

499
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:25,879
Speaker 1: a new fort ta yea, yeah, we spend sixty seventy

500
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:29,640
Speaker 1: thousand dollars now when to pick up truck? You know, Yeah,

501
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:30,280
Speaker 1: it's crazy.

502
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:33,680
Speaker 9: So all right, Kittto, thanks a lot.

503
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 1: Wrong, You're very welcome, sir, you well you too, but bye,

504
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:38,439
Speaker 1: let's go over and talk to Don and Florida real

505
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:41,280
Speaker 1: quick twenty two Hunday Tucson and get started here Don.

506
00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:43,000
Speaker 1: Welcome to the car doctor, sir, how can I help?

507
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:46,760
Speaker 3: Thanks for taking my calum. I have a twenty twenty

508
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:50,240
Speaker 3: two day twos on the two point five and that's

509
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:53,240
Speaker 3: my first vehicle with the direct injection engine. I have

510
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:57,440
Speaker 3: thirty thousand miles. Sunday is recommending not required, but recommending

511
00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:01,880
Speaker 3: both intake and injector cleaning. Actually take the injectors out

512
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:04,440
Speaker 3: in this four hundred and fifty dollars. Two separate dealers

513
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 3: say the same thing. Hunter's got this wonderful hundred thousand

514
00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:11,359
Speaker 3: mile warranty, But it looks like this is something I

515
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:14,720
Speaker 3: probably want to do. But that's what my question. Hondai

516
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:17,600
Speaker 3: is not requiring it, but they're recommending it.

517
00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 1: So if you don't do it, we'll avoid the warranty. No, okay,

518
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:29,920
Speaker 1: So is it something specific to dealers in Florida or

519
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 1: if you were in California just to pick a state,

520
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:35,440
Speaker 1: would you not have to do this as a requirement

521
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:40,640
Speaker 1: of a thirty K dealers? And I give dealers credit, okay.

522
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:45,720
Speaker 1: Dealers will call for specific things to be done at

523
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:50,760
Speaker 1: certain mileage based on environment. And I think that's smart, right,

524
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:52,840
Speaker 1: because I think the way you take care of cars

525
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:56,320
Speaker 1: in Florida, New Jersey, California, Texas and so on is

526
00:25:56,400 --> 00:26:01,520
Speaker 1: going to vary because of environment and conditions. The problem

527
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:07,880
Speaker 1: with any direct injection engine is the injector is right

528
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:11,960
Speaker 1: into the cylinder. Direct injection, there's no more fuel hitting

529
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:15,760
Speaker 1: the back of the intake valve to keep the valve clean, right,

530
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 1: There's nothing there to wash it, so it's more susceptible

531
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:23,080
Speaker 1: for carbon deposits that get created for various reasons of

532
00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 1: cam overlap and timing and so on and so forth.

533
00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:30,080
Speaker 1: Is the problem there at thirty thousand miles?

534
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:31,720
Speaker 3: Ummm?

535
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:34,400
Speaker 1: The thing, yeah, they're saying, what.

536
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:38,639
Speaker 3: Well, it's every thirty thousand miles is the recommendation is

537
00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:43,120
Speaker 3: on this engine and get not required under warranty, but recommended, right.

538
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:45,879
Speaker 1: You know, I'd love to see one at thirty. If

539
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:48,080
Speaker 1: they could show me one at thirty that has carbon

540
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:51,960
Speaker 1: build up on it, then I say yes, if they're

541
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:54,840
Speaker 1: doing it, because the blanket statement is everybody gets it

542
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:57,800
Speaker 1: at thirty because everybody's the same, then I say no,

543
00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:00,720
Speaker 1: that's nonsense. I say that's too general of a statement.

544
00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:05,200
Speaker 1: All right, you know we'll we will do fuel system

545
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:09,800
Speaker 1: cleanings every thirty thousand miles. We're not pulling injectors. We

546
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:13,640
Speaker 1: will do either through an intake planum and I prefer

547
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:18,480
Speaker 1: the intake planum cleaning nowadays, where we'll hook up a

548
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:21,639
Speaker 1: cleaning solution and we'll go through the intake planning with

549
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:26,040
Speaker 1: some BG cleaning solution because of the fact that most

550
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:28,000
Speaker 1: injectors today, I want to say most, but a lot

551
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:31,600
Speaker 1: of injectors today the way they're designed, aren't so prone

552
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:35,520
Speaker 1: to clogging or getting you know, sticky like that. The

553
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:38,440
Speaker 1: biggest problem with direct injection is the valve, the lack

554
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:40,879
Speaker 1: of fuel on it, and what happens to the carbon

555
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:44,040
Speaker 1: on the or the piston tops themselves. So they do

556
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:47,080
Speaker 1: need some form of an intake duct cleaning. Here's the

557
00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:49,520
Speaker 1: word I'm looking for. I don't know that they need

558
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:52,399
Speaker 1: an injection cleaning as much. I'm not as one hundred

559
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:55,320
Speaker 1: percent convinced of that. Of course, I'm in New Jersey,

560
00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:59,120
Speaker 1: not Florida. My fuel, the fuel, the fuel that's dispensed

561
00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:01,159
Speaker 1: in New Jersey is different than Florida because of a

562
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:04,359
Speaker 1: mission standard set by the EPA. So you know it

563
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 1: all it all changes, you know, Like I said, is

564
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:09,919
Speaker 1: it is it a byproduct that you're having to do

565
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 1: this because you live in Florida and there's something with

566
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:15,200
Speaker 1: your fuel versus New Jersey, California, Texas and so on?

567
00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:15,720
Speaker 1: Or is it?

568
00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:16,720
Speaker 2: You know?

569
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:19,080
Speaker 1: And I'd like to see the result. I'd like to see.

570
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:21,080
Speaker 1: I'd like to see some dealers show me a picture

571
00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:22,760
Speaker 1: or some repair shops show me a picture of the

572
00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:25,440
Speaker 1: before and after, because five hundred bucks is a big

573
00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:28,960
Speaker 1: pill to swallow in a two year old vehicle bottom line, right.

574
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:34,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I understand the intake as well. My question is,

575
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:37,720
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm getting excellent fuel economy with this, there's

576
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:40,040
Speaker 3: no degredation, so why would you have to take the

577
00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:44,680
Speaker 3: injector out? I can understand the intake, yeah, but that's

578
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:48,280
Speaker 3: my question. So are they just trying to make more

579
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 3: money off the customer?

580
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:50,560
Speaker 1: Right?

581
00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:55,360
Speaker 3: You know, I had I've had toilet products prior to this,

582
00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:58,680
Speaker 3: and none of this. Of course they were older and

583
00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:02,080
Speaker 3: this is newer andeology and they're trying to get look

584
00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:02,360
Speaker 3: on me.

585
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:06,120
Speaker 1: So technology technology, I think if you're using a tank additive,

586
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:09,680
Speaker 1: if you're using a good tank additive, uh, you know,

587
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:12,960
Speaker 1: that solves the injector cleanliness problem in my mind. If

588
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:15,360
Speaker 1: you're you know, if you're doing an intake duct cleaning,

589
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:17,560
Speaker 1: I think you're fine. But I would talk to the dealer,

590
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:20,200
Speaker 1: ask for pictures, show me the proof. The proof's in

591
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:22,480
Speaker 1: the pudding, and let's see what they come back with.

592
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:24,200
Speaker 1: Give me a call. I'd like a follow up on

593
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:26,360
Speaker 1: this one. If you would done, I appreciate it. I'm

594
00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:42,040
Speaker 1: running ady in the car doctor. I'm back right after this. Hey,

595
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:45,040
Speaker 1: let's rock and roll. Let's get the Bruce in Virginia.

596
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:46,720
Speaker 1: Bruce O one Honda Odyssey return.

597
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:46,960
Speaker 3: Call?

598
00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:47,960
Speaker 1: What's going on here? Kiddle?

599
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:51,360
Speaker 5: Hi? Ron? How are you good?

600
00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:52,000
Speaker 1: What's up?

601
00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:53,040
Speaker 7: Yeah?

602
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:57,000
Speaker 5: Uh, I have a question. But before I quotestion, I

603
00:29:57,040 --> 00:29:58,880
Speaker 5: have an idea for your show. I just want to

604
00:29:58,880 --> 00:29:59,920
Speaker 5: give it to you, even though.

605
00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:00,680
Speaker 1: Mind real quick.

606
00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:05,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's a you know, since I call your car doctors,

607
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:09,720
Speaker 5: you can wear like a doctor's coat with the stethoscope

608
00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:13,040
Speaker 5: around your neck, puttin examine the car, and then take

609
00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:15,080
Speaker 5: a picture put on the top of your shop before

610
00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:17,800
Speaker 5: close to your shop's name. But that's going to be

611
00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:18,240
Speaker 5: like cab.

612
00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:20,360
Speaker 1: But that would tell people, That would tell that would

613
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:22,160
Speaker 1: tell people where I am. Bruce listen. I don't want

614
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:24,240
Speaker 1: to cut your short. I appreciate the thought, I really do.

615
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:26,440
Speaker 1: But if you have a question real quick, because I'm

616
00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:28,280
Speaker 1: running out of time today, what's on your mind.

617
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:32,680
Speaker 5: To mention before I'm done with the hunt? Is the

618
00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:34,280
Speaker 5: car I have? I'm want to sell it to the

619
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:36,840
Speaker 5: metal place because I spend like a I bought a

620
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:39,520
Speaker 5: two thousand dollars, I spent four thousand dollars on it,

621
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:42,560
Speaker 5: so already I talked to you before. But I had

622
00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:44,760
Speaker 5: an eighty tude yourself for I had it for twenty

623
00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:47,400
Speaker 5: four years, Honda for eleven years. The other hand, on

624
00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:48,960
Speaker 5: this is for one year. So I take care of

625
00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:53,120
Speaker 5: a car pretty good. But what's what suggestion for Nex's car?

626
00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:55,400
Speaker 5: Is it too or Honda? Which one do you recommend?

627
00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:58,120
Speaker 1: Either one? Listen, they're both. They're both good cars. You

628
00:30:58,120 --> 00:30:59,680
Speaker 1: know you have You just happen to get something with

629
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:02,400
Speaker 1: higher mileage on it that probably didn't have the maintenance

630
00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:05,040
Speaker 1: done to it. And you know, and listen, mileage and

631
00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:08,240
Speaker 1: age dictates demand. I mean this one or dictates commission

632
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:12,680
Speaker 1: this This o one, honesty is twenty almost twenty five

633
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:15,680
Speaker 1: years old. You know it's gonna happen. I had a

634
00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:18,560
Speaker 1: conversation with a customer the other day. She's buying her

635
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:22,560
Speaker 1: daughter a twenty sixteen Honda HRV. You know, great car,

636
00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:26,640
Speaker 1: it's it's nine years old. Understand, nine years old, ninety

637
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:31,880
Speaker 1: thousand miles. Anything can go wrong because just based on mileage,

638
00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:34,320
Speaker 1: I think either one, kiddo, just make sure you get

639
00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:36,560
Speaker 1: it checked out by a mechanic to get some kind

640
00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:38,600
Speaker 1: of a condition idea, and make sure you have a

641
00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:41,640
Speaker 1: relationship with that mechanic. You need somebody you can count on.

642
00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:43,800
Speaker 1: Let me know what happens. I'm ronning ay in the

643
00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:59,360
Speaker 1: car doctor, I'll be back right after this. Okay, real quick,

644
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:01,240
Speaker 1: let's get the one on last call. We're flying with

645
00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:03,120
Speaker 1: that in that today, Let's go to Ray in Florida.

646
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:05,200
Speaker 1: RAO six Toyota Avalon. What's going on?

647
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:09,520
Speaker 7: Well, thank you for letting me on the show. I

648
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:14,120
Speaker 7: have a two thousand and six Toyota Avalon. Great car,

649
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:17,400
Speaker 7: great running car on it. But one problem I've had

650
00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:21,280
Speaker 7: always had with it is that the instrument lights will

651
00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:24,280
Speaker 7: will come on and dark, or if I go into

652
00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:27,240
Speaker 7: the shadow of an underpass will come on. But during

653
00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:30,400
Speaker 7: the day, even with the knob turned all the way

654
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:33,520
Speaker 7: up on pannel lights. So I can't see anything with

655
00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:37,200
Speaker 7: the sun going into the car though, So I wonder

656
00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:38,760
Speaker 7: if it's fix the bolt.

657
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:41,640
Speaker 1: That is a that is a common complaint on those cars,

658
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:43,560
Speaker 1: believe it or not. Ray I hear that a lot,

659
00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:46,600
Speaker 1: you know, I hear that a lot because it's and

660
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:51,160
Speaker 1: it sounds like, you know, it's functioning correctly. It sounds like,

661
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:53,800
Speaker 1: you know, the headlights aren't on, so it's not in

662
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:57,480
Speaker 1: dimmer mode all right, And it sounds like at nighttime

663
00:32:57,520 --> 00:32:59,560
Speaker 1: you can see okay, correct, you've got the you've got

664
00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:03,360
Speaker 1: the lights up and they're they're at normal brightness, right,

665
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:05,480
Speaker 1: they're not dim it all at night. Yeah. That that's

666
00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:08,640
Speaker 1: I've had that as a complaint. It's glare. I've seen

667
00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:11,960
Speaker 1: some people put I don't want to say a wax,

668
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:14,240
Speaker 1: but there's been a there's an anti glare material that

669
00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:17,240
Speaker 1: I've seen people put on the face of the plastic

670
00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:19,480
Speaker 1: lens over the over the instrument cluster to try and

671
00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:22,280
Speaker 1: cut down on the sun glare. I've never followed up

672
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:24,480
Speaker 1: to see what sort of success rate they had with it,

673
00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:27,240
Speaker 1: but that's one thing to try. Uh, you know, have

674
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:29,480
Speaker 1: you looked at other toyotas, what's.

675
00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:31,680
Speaker 7: What what's the name of this anti that I don't Yeah,

676
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:32,320
Speaker 7: I don't remember.

677
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:34,200
Speaker 1: I think if I think, if you google search antil

678
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:36,840
Speaker 1: I always thought of as an anti glare wax. It's

679
00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:39,479
Speaker 1: not a wax. It's it's it's an anti glare material.

680
00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:41,840
Speaker 1: It's similar to what you would put on sunglasses or

681
00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:44,160
Speaker 1: if you were skiing, right, if you were up on

682
00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:46,320
Speaker 1: the slopes. I know they make an anti glar material

683
00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:48,640
Speaker 1: to spray on, but I would be careful spraying in

684
00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:52,000
Speaker 1: car interior. I probably pulled the instrument cluster off the

685
00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:54,040
Speaker 1: face off so I could spray it outside the vehicle

686
00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:56,640
Speaker 1: and then put it in. But you know, just just

687
00:33:56,920 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 1: it's it sounds like everything you've got is working. I've

688
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:03,280
Speaker 1: heard that as a common complaint in bright sunlight, it's

689
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:05,600
Speaker 1: hard to read the instrument cluster, and there's no known

690
00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:08,960
Speaker 1: fix that I'm aware of, Especially on an older Toyota.

691
00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:12,360
Speaker 7: It sounds like you probably don't even know if Toyota

692
00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:14,759
Speaker 7: had a service bulletin on that some years back.

693
00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:15,360
Speaker 8: No bulletin.

694
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:20,560
Speaker 1: No bullet Yeah, no bulletin that I'm aware of, all right,

695
00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:22,440
Speaker 1: But I'll tell you what. I'll do some research and

696
00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:24,959
Speaker 1: if I come up with something I will. I'll mention

697
00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:27,279
