32
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:46,960
Speaker 1: side note that the tequila comment in the opening, Tom

33
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 1: was very appropriate. My kids took me out last Now

34
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 1: we went to this new Mexican restaurant here in town.

35
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 1: And um, I've never had a bulldog margart reader. I've

36
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 1: never had a Margart reader before, to tell you the truth.

37
00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 1: Uh and um now I always as an a side note,

38
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 1: if we can talk about this and I don't we

39
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 1: know why he's so sleepy today? Well, I I thought

40
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 1: I thought of Margarita was this thing with flowers in it,

41
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:12,360
Speaker 1: you know, with the you know, and it came and

42
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 1: it kind of had flowered at least the upside down

43
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:17,080
Speaker 1: Corona beer and it looked like it's really kind of crazy.

44
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 1: It's this big glass of ice, and um, I think

45
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:22,639
Speaker 1: there was tequila in it, is what they told me.

46
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,119
Speaker 1: And they have a short little bottle of Corona beer

47
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 1: and I don't know. I can't. I can't do that.

48
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 1: I was, you know, after a long week of work.

49
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 1: But it was rather tasty. But um, you know it's

50
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 1: sad and drive home. Um uh, because you gotta do

51
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:40,359
Speaker 1: the right thing, right, that's you know, I could have,

52
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,080
Speaker 1: But you know it's not like how come when we

53
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 1: were younger we could do that. You could? You could?

54
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 1: You know you could? You could drink seven of those

55
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 1: things and get up going to work the next day.

56
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 1: We give you milk and you get drowsy and I

57
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:52,359
Speaker 1: can't drive home. Come on, I get I get sweepy.

58
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 1: So but I wasn't too sweepy this week because I

59
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 1: want to talk about this. So what the it was

60
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 1: a thirteen Nissan verse. I gotta tell you this story.

61
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:04,079
Speaker 1: There's as long as you're telling stories this hour, So

62
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 1: you know, where's the turning point? Where does the car

63
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:11,640
Speaker 1: go bad? Where does the problem occur? And and it

64
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:16,360
Speaker 1: just goes downhill? Nissan versa came into the shop this week,

65
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 1: new customer. Really nice lady. Your heart just goes out

66
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 1: to her, because, you know, some people just don't know

67
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 1: anything about cars, and I get it. They're just, you know,

68
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:31,679
Speaker 1: they're just they're just not car people. She bought this

69
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 1: verse it was two years old, that had eleven thousand

70
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 1: miles on and she told me, she said, you know,

71
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 1: I thought I was set. I had a two year

72
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 1: old car with ten thousand miles on it, and I figured,

73
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 1: g it's like a new car. I'm good for a

74
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 1: while because my old car was such a problem. About

75
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 1: four days into driving and knowing it, the check engine

76
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 1: light came on and it's at a P zero seven

77
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 1: oh five, which which has to do with the trans

78
00:03:56,440 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 1: and the park range switch, park neutral drive. That's it. Now,

79
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 1: you gotta understand versus not exactly Nissan's best effort, all right,

80
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 1: it's their entry level car. Back in it was about

81
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 1: a fourteen thousand dollar car brand new. Alright, so I

82
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 1: think about car prices in thirteen seven years ago, right,

83
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 1: fourteen thousand dollars. You know today that car is probably

84
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 1: worth three grand and it's only got forty six thousand

85
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,839
Speaker 1: miles on it. And it still has the check engine

86
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 1: life because it's been there for the past four years

87
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 1: and nobody could give her a straight answer on you know,

88
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 1: she says, I just want a straight answer. She goes,

89
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,040
Speaker 1: I'm not really even expecting you to fix it, she said,

90
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 1: I just know that you'll you'll give me an answer

91
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 1: and tell me, you know, what should I do. So

92
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 1: the first time the dealer it was great because she

93
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 1: had all the records. The first time the dealer worked

94
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 1: on it, she took it and they talked about and

95
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 1: you know, the devil's in the details. The saying goes,

96
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 1: right that if you read the details, and I did.

97
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 1: They talked about we repair the wiring harness at the

98
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 1: break lights for this P zero seven oh five and

99
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 1: the stop lamp circuit and the reverse light circuit, because

100
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 1: versus have this problem and it's it's particular to them,

101
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 1: it seems, and that if you've got a Nissan Versa,

102
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 1: and if you do, I'm sorry, UM, you know that

103
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:23,359
Speaker 1: if you have this, if the wiring is incorrect on

104
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:26,480
Speaker 1: these early verses, Um, there must be a joke in

105
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 1: there's somewhere early verse earlier now and it can create

106
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 1: a check engine light. So one of the things we

107
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 1: know for a fact, and I looked at all the basics,

108
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,160
Speaker 1: but did you know that if you drive an early

109
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 1: Nissan Versa and you are setting fault codes, in particular

110
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 1: a P zero seven oh five for a park range switch,

111
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 1: the wrong manufactured break light bulb in the back will

112
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 1: cause a trouble code. Yeah, if you if you take

113
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 1: the ball about if you've got a Nissan verse A

114
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,159
Speaker 1: very important note what we found over time is if

115
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 1: you take if you if you got a Nissan Versa

116
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:05,280
Speaker 1: and you go to replace the rear stop, reverse or

117
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:08,720
Speaker 1: directionals you want to put in a bulb. You ever

118
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 1: take a bulb out of a socket and look at

119
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 1: the bottom and the two little solder um tips that

120
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 1: are there, they're around right. You want to use the style,

121
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 1: you have to go out and find the Nissan dealers

122
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:20,599
Speaker 1: where you're gonna find them. They've got to be oval

123
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:24,799
Speaker 1: shaped like a football. Those are the ones. For whatever reason,

124
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 1: those cars like oval shaped stop lamp bulbs on the

125
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:32,479
Speaker 1: on the on the solders on the solder tips. It

126
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 1: just doesn't they'll set a fault code. And she had those,

127
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 1: she had the wiring harness repaired. Somebody had done the

128
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 1: tail lamps. There's a bulletin out there for tail lamp

129
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 1: assemblies for moisture that gets on the on the um

130
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:51,040
Speaker 1: inside the tail lamp housings gets on the tail lamp

131
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:56,279
Speaker 1: boards and we'll cause the fault code she had that.

132
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 1: I looked through the stack and when I say this

133
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:03,360
Speaker 1: act of paperwork, it had to have been at various dealers,

134
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:07,840
Speaker 1: close to five, maybe six. Over the past four years.

135
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 1: They have changed the transmission, the park range switch, the

136
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 1: brake light switch, the tail imp assembly twice, as a

137
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 1: matter of fact, multiple bulbs. They changed every switch, every component,

138
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 1: the trans control module, the BCM. They changed every component

139
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 1: in this circuit except the wiring harness. So it was interesting.

140
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 1: In the first go round. The first mechanics said repaired

141
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 1: damage to wiring harness from accident related repairs. Oh and

142
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 1: right away they got my attention. The turning point on

143
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 1: this and the bottom line becomes that you've got to

144
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 1: read the details because that's where the answers are. I

145
00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 1: believe that this car, it had ten thousand miles on it.

146
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 1: Have to ask yourself, why is that two year old

147
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 1: car with ten thousand miles on it? Why is it

148
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 1: for sale? Why is it traded in? Why doesn't somebody

149
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 1: own that car anymore? What's wrong with that car? And

150
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 1: I'm not saying everyone is and you almost don't know,

151
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 1: But if it happens to you, you've got to do

152
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 1: it different than Patty, because Patty didn't know. And that's

153
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 1: the whole point of this. I want to try and

154
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 1: educate you to see you understand. You know. I told her,

155
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 1: I said, listen, where you went wrong was you didn't

156
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 1: go back to the dealer and say that you bought

157
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 1: it from and say, look, I bought this car. It's

158
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 1: five days old. I've got this check engine light that

159
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 1: they've been trying to fix for the past two weeks

160
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 1: and nobody can fix it. If you can't fix it,

161
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:42,079
Speaker 1: it's a limit. I want my money back. She didn't

162
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,199
Speaker 1: know to do that, and that's the shame of it,

163
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 1: because I really believe that this car had an accident

164
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:49,840
Speaker 1: in its life somewhere in the first ten thousand miles.

165
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:53,439
Speaker 1: It wasn't repaired properly. It was then sold easy enough

166
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 1: to clear a check engine light. As a matter of fact,

167
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 1: when that car left the shop on Friday, we had

168
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 1: cleared the check engine light as part of the diagnosis,

169
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:03,199
Speaker 1: drove the car for three days. The light never came

170
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 1: back on. It's an intermittent, at random fault that it

171
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 1: occurs whenever it wants to. It just at at random.

172
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:15,440
Speaker 1: And it came back to I said, you know, you

173
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:18,440
Speaker 1: could call Nissan and and maybe they'll do the right thing.

174
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 1: Maybe they'll step up, because in my mind, that car

175
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 1: has got a wiring harness issue. That's the only thing left,

176
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 1: that's the only thing they haven't changed. And if it's

177
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 1: not accident related, you know, if it's not related to

178
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:32,079
Speaker 1: this accident that the car had in the rear, that

179
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:34,840
Speaker 1: it was rear ended or damaged in the rear corner somewhere,

180
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 1: then it's damaged from assembly. And I actually took apart

181
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 1: some of the junction connections. I took apart the main

182
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,199
Speaker 1: master junction connection on the left side, up by the

183
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:46,080
Speaker 1: kick panel. I pulled that apart. I looked at all

184
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 1: the pins. All the pins were level, square, you know, straight,

185
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:54,080
Speaker 1: Nothing was at fault. And sometimes it happens. It just

186
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 1: you know, I gave her back the car and and

187
00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:58,680
Speaker 1: I couldn't talk her out of it. She we we

188
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:00,680
Speaker 1: put tires on it, we put brakes, in it because

189
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 1: she's gonna hang onto the car now until October and

190
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 1: try and get another six months out of it and

191
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:08,679
Speaker 1: save some money. And she said, you know, I'm glad

192
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:12,319
Speaker 1: I found you. I'm sorry I didn't find you four

193
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 1: years earlier, because at least you told me what's really

194
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:17,679
Speaker 1: going on instead of just continuing to throw parts at it.

195
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 1: But isn't that what a mechanic is. Isn't that your obligation.

196
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 1: Aren't we supposed to do that with one another, supposed

197
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,080
Speaker 1: trying to take care of one another. It's listen, at

198
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:27,680
Speaker 1: the end of the day that the shop had a job,

199
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 1: the shop made a little bit of money, and you

200
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 1: know what, we helped somebody. Isn't that what you're supposed

201
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 1: to do? I mean, really and truly. A woman came

202
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:38,199
Speaker 1: into the shop yesterday. I almost don't know how to

203
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:41,319
Speaker 1: answer these questions anymore. Um, a woman came into the

204
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 1: shop yesterday, you know, older, driving this oh four Chrysler.

205
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:47,720
Speaker 1: And I said to her, I said, oh, you're the

206
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 1: one that still has one. She kind of got the

207
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 1: joke right, and um, she said, you know, I'm looking

208
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 1: for a mechanic. She said, are you any good? And

209
00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:01,440
Speaker 1: I I didn't know how to answer for that. You know,

210
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 1: do you do good work? And I just you said,

211
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:06,959
Speaker 1: and are you honest? When the car doctor returns, I'll

212
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 1: give you the answer. A. I don't know, Mike, and

213
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 1: I are going to give you the answer. Good ahead,

Speaker 1: we're debating. We just said no, well, i'll tell you

215
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 1: when I come back. I'll tell because it's true story.

216
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 1: I mean you just the questions and I guess the

217
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 1: the dilemma that people have with getting cars fixed. By

218
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 1: the way, this hour, why don't we kick open the

229
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 1: table too. Zero run any of the car doctor right

230
00:11:55,559 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 1: your service, right after this, he drives that way. But

231
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:04,559
Speaker 1: when it comes to fixing cars, Ron has card advice

00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:09,560
Speaker 1: done right eight five five five zero zero zero. Here's Ron.

233
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:12,080
Speaker 1: So then I'm standing in the middle of the shop,

234
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 1: going back to the story, and you know, are you

235
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 1: any good? Are you? You know, are you gonna go

236
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 1: to fixing cars? Do you know what you're doing? And

237
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:22,559
Speaker 1: I told her point blank, I said no. I said, uh,

238
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 1: I'm a bum. I really don't know how to fix cars.

239
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:27,079
Speaker 1: I just I've been I'm just kind of hiding here

240
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:29,320
Speaker 1: till I retire that, you know, I'm kind of practicing.

241
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 1: And uh, you know. She she didn't quite know what

242
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 1: to say to that. And she said, well, you know,

243
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:37,560
Speaker 1: how much is your hourly rate? And I told her?

244
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 1: And she said, and how much is this? And I

245
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:41,319
Speaker 1: told her? And she said, you know, she said, are

246
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:42,839
Speaker 1: you any cheaper than the dealer? And I said, I

247
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 1: have no clue. And that's the truth, I really have

248
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 1: no clue. And she said, how could you not know?

249
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 1: And I said, how could I care? I said, how

250
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 1: come you didn't ask the right questions? You know, anytime

251
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 1: anybody interviews us, because she always come in with the

252
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 1: broad announcement that they're looking for a mechanic. And my

253
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:57,680
Speaker 1: first thought is, yeah, you we know three hundred million

254
00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:00,959
Speaker 1: other Americans. Um, you know, is how come nobody ever

255
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 1: asks how right do you do something? And and describe

256
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 1: this procedure to me? And you know, how come nobody

257
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 1: ever asks do you have room to take on more people?

258
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 1: And you know that gets in there too. I wouldn't

259
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 1: got a haircut this morning. I got him all cut right,

260
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 1: and I don't know. Haircuts kind of put me to sleep,

261
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:23,720
Speaker 1: and I'm kind of dozing in the chair and um,

262
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:26,080
Speaker 1: Vince has been cutting my hair for years and years

263
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 1: and years, and he's clipping away. And it's a two

264
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:30,679
Speaker 1: chair shops, a very very small shop. I mean, it's

265
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 1: like Mayberry, right, It's like you expect Andy and Barney

266
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 1: to come walk into the front door at any given time.

267
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 1: And the woman next next to me in the chair

268
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 1: is talking to Loretta, Vince's wife, and they're they're talking

269
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 1: about her suber, the woman's suber, the woman's super who

270
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,319
Speaker 1: has got this noise in the front that nobody can

271
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 1: find that it's got this clattering exhaust and you know,

272
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 1: she doesn't know what to do with it. And under

273
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 1: my breath kind of out loud. I went, what your

274
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:56,560
Speaker 1: car and she told me and I said suber and

275
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 1: she yeah, I said yeah. The heat shields up front

276
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 1: are are loose and rattling. I said it it needs

277
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:04,080
Speaker 1: front heat shield and they you know, Loretta knows, she

278
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:07,320
Speaker 1: knows what I do. And and this woman turned and

279
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:11,199
Speaker 1: kind of looked at me, and she was like, you know, uh,

280
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 1: you know, and you know, if you've been on radio

281
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 1: for twenty seven years or whatever it is, you just

282
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 1: know when somebody looks at you, they're thinking. You can

283
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 1: see the wheels turning like they're listening to the voice,

284
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 1: and they they kind of put it together and she's

285
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 1: like and Vince goes the car doctor does it again.

286
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 1: And the woman goes, wow. She goes, I've heard of you.

287
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 1: And I said, well, you know that in fifteen bucks'll

288
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 1: get through the tunnel at any given time. But um,

289
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 1: you know, she's she got it. And she asked the

290
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 1: right question. She said, are you listen? She said, can

291
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:43,560
Speaker 1: I bring the car to you? Are you? And I

292
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 1: don't do it for that, I just you know, I

293
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 1: just I mean, what else could it be? It's a

294
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:49,640
Speaker 1: super b front heat shields full off those things like

295
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 1: you know, like it's it's it's Tuesday, and and you

296
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 1: know it's stuck between Monday and Wednesday. It's just gonna happen.

297
00:14:55,320 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 1: It just it just does. So the one with the

298
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 1: Chrysler ended up. You know, the rest of the conversation was,

299
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 1: I said, listen, when you get a problem and you've

300
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 1: got something you want us to look at, you call

301
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 1: you make an appointment. If we've got room, we'll take

302
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 1: you and we'll see how we work out. I said.

303
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:15,960
Speaker 1: You know, I said, this has to be a good

304
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 1: fit for you and a good fit for me, I said,

305
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 1: And I think that's part of the issue. I think

306
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 1: that when people go out looking for mechanics, it's this

307
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:30,840
Speaker 1: assumption that every mechanic is right for every person in

308
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 1: every car and every mindset. You know, it's like it's

309
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:36,479
Speaker 1: like picking a doctor. And I say that in all seriousness,

310
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 1: this is no different than picking any other professional. And

311
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 1: you know, if you have problems, if you have questions,

312
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 1: like the woman with the verse so that we started

313
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 1: the show with talking about Patty, right, Patty really should

314
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 1: have you know, found outside help or her car for

315
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 1: her car in any event, and and and discuss that,

316
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 1: and you know that should have been the the the

317
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 1: way that, um, you know, her problem got solved. Patty

318
00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 1: pick up the car by the way, and um, you

319
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 1: know you can always tell, right, Patty's trunk had no

320
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 1: room in it. And I don't know what it is,

321
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 1: but I've come to this, I've got this theory going.

322
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 1: There's a couple of observational things about people in cars.

323
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 1: If your trunk has no room in it. And and

324
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 1: during the repair we had to put tires on Patty's car,

325
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 1: I asked her, I said, where's your wheelock? Key? Didn't

326
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 1: know what a wheelock key was, right, didn't have a clue.

327
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 1: She didn't even know what wheelocks were, all right, hardly

328
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:30,160
Speaker 1: knew what lug nuts were, all right. And I explained

329
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:31,360
Speaker 1: it to her and she said, well, how would I

330
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:33,480
Speaker 1: get into the trunk? It's filled with stuff? And I said,

331
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 1: well that is that's the other part of this, because

332
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:38,520
Speaker 1: I mean, when I tell you it was packed, it

333
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 1: was packed. We had to get we had to get

334
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:42,400
Speaker 1: a fact I and and two big kids to sit

335
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 1: on the trunklet to get the trunk to close again,

336
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 1: because Danny opened it looking for the wheelock. He we like,

337
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 1: oh my god, we gotta you know. So I jumped

338
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:50,880
Speaker 1: up there with Bob and some other kids and we

339
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 1: got to close. But um uh, you know it's it's

340
00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:00,080
Speaker 1: auto repair has its moments, it really does it. It

341
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 1: just you can't get over the way things twist and

342
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 1: turn and the way the cars misbehave. We had to

343
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:11,399
Speaker 1: know five focus that and if you're driving an older focus,

344
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:12,920
Speaker 1: this is something to look at. We've never really talked

345
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:14,840
Speaker 1: about it, but I've seen this before and it came

346
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 1: to mind on my forefront this week. Oh five focus,

347
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 1: have your mechanic the next time. It's in in that

348
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:27,440
Speaker 1: generation five six sevens. Look at the rear coil springs

349
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:30,119
Speaker 1: all right where they come through the real control arms.

350
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:34,160
Speaker 1: The it was a poor design and it rusted out.

351
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:36,720
Speaker 1: I mean it's over ten years old now. And the

352
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:38,960
Speaker 1: poor person that it was it was a young driver,

353
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 1: and I always worry about the young driver's how will

354
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:43,680
Speaker 1: they react. She was driving along at forty mile in

355
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 1: the left rear coil spring let go, and you know,

356
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:49,479
Speaker 1: she said it sounded like a shotgun going past her

357
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 1: rear because it hit the it hit the ground, cupt

358
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 1: hang and the whole body settled in the left rear corner.

359
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 1: She thought she had a flat, but the car kept rolling.

360
00:17:57,560 --> 00:17:59,639
Speaker 1: She didn't know what was going on. Um, so we

361
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:01,440
Speaker 1: ended up. That's another story. How we had to fix

362
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:03,480
Speaker 1: that and cut everything out with the torch right next

363
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:05,560
Speaker 1: to the gas tank on the twelve year old rustling car.

364
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:08,760
Speaker 1: That was so exciting, but we survived and we are here.

365
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:10,960
Speaker 1: So anyway, I'm runing anting of the car doctor. When

366
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:12,439
Speaker 1: we come back, well, open up the phone lines and

367
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:14,399
Speaker 1: get to it, so don't go away. We're back right

368
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:39,680
Speaker 1: after this ruck back. Run any of the car doctor

369
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:42,720
Speaker 1: zero zero. Let's get over the line too and talk

370
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:45,199
Speaker 1: to Frank in New Mexico. Frank, Welcome to the Car Doctor, sir.

371
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:48,800
Speaker 1: How can I help? Thank you, Doc? I love coming

372
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:52,520
Speaker 1: to class every Saturday. I neglected to write down the

373
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:56,000
Speaker 1: part number of that little device that you put on

374
00:18:56,080 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 1: the end of your propane bottle. Yeah, I wrote. I

375
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:03,720
Speaker 1: forgot to write that down, and I want to construct

376
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:07,159
Speaker 1: one of those, okay. Um, basically it's easy. Just go

377
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 1: to Google o TC tools. It's on a tool corp

378
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:16,800
Speaker 1: at At of Minnesota, UH makes it. It's their part number. Yeah,

379
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 1: and it's it's easy to do and the key thing

380
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 1: they don't have there because keep in mind they they

381
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:24,960
Speaker 1: made that for they made that for Chrysler Lean burn

382
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:27,399
Speaker 1: Systems back in the in the seventies when it was

383
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 1: it was propane enrichment as a propane enrichmond tool. Uh

384
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:32,879
Speaker 1: you know, one of the things we add to it

385
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:34,920
Speaker 1: is and you'll see it there's like a rubber stopper

386
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 1: on the end where they would put it inside the

387
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:40,280
Speaker 1: inside the air cleaner housing for enrichment. One of the

388
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:43,399
Speaker 1: things that we do is we will take a break

389
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:45,720
Speaker 1: line and put it in the end of the hose

390
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:48,960
Speaker 1: and then pean down the other end, and that gives

391
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 1: you a very precise orifice, so you're not just randomly

392
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 1: flooding the areas with propane. Uh So, if you're looking

393
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:57,399
Speaker 1: using it as a vacuum leak tool, it works. If

394
00:19:57,440 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 1: you're using it to run the vehicle, a little bit

395
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:01,160
Speaker 1: of back pressure on the bottle so it just doesn't

396
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:04,480
Speaker 1: all dump out, uh you know, helps keep fluid in

397
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:07,720
Speaker 1: the bottle frankly and um lets it run. So but yeah, no,

398
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 1: TC works really well. We've jeez, I you know, I've

399
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 1: had it for years. I've had it for years, and

400
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:16,760
Speaker 1: I know they still make it, and I'm thinking they've

401
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 1: got to be doing something else with it because you

402
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:20,080
Speaker 1: can still buy them and they haven't made a Chrysler

403
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:23,679
Speaker 1: Lean burn system and what forty years now, So you know,

404
00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:26,120
Speaker 1: maybe this radio show is keeping that tool alive. Everybody's

405
00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:28,560
Speaker 1: buying them to make for propane in Richmond and to

406
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:31,480
Speaker 1: drive the car on. So but um, yeah, that's that's what.

407
00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:37,439
Speaker 1: Thank you very much. Not glad to be here. How's hey, Frankie,

408
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:40,920
Speaker 1: let you go, how's your how's your oldmobile doing? Well?

409
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:43,879
Speaker 1: It's it's doing better. Actually, I had it in the

410
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:48,400
Speaker 1: shop Wednesday ready to swap out carbs, and the the guy,

411
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 1: the mechanic, could have done that and made a lot

412
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 1: of money, but he said, you know what, you've got it.

413
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:55,640
Speaker 1: He found a bunch of vacuum leeks, especially some big

414
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 1: ones in the PDC holes and he says these are

415
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:01,880
Speaker 1: all fixed. Now. He says, you go get the car

416
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:04,120
Speaker 1: hot and go for your second retest, and I bet

417
00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 1: you it's gonna pass. That was failing hydrocarbons, right, yes,

418
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:13,800
Speaker 1: hydro carbons at high RPMA. You know. He said, yeah,

419
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:18,120
Speaker 1: that's what's gonna happen with as many leaks as you had. Well, yeah,

420
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 1: and you know the one thing I thought about something

421
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:24,200
Speaker 1: else too, if you were to take that carburetor off,

422
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:27,760
Speaker 1: and it came to me afterwards, because I tend to

423
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 1: think about questions on the show during the course of

424
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 1: the week, like I have nothing else to do. And

425
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:35,200
Speaker 1: if you take that carb off and look at the bottom,

426
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:38,560
Speaker 1: they're solder plugs, you know, when they when they manufacture

427
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 1: that carburetor, like the manufactured all carburetors, the drills and

428
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 1: the and the cutters would go through and make the

429
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:47,199
Speaker 1: passageways and then they would seal them up with a

430
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:49,680
Speaker 1: with a hot solder plug. They would, you know, drop

431
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 1: in a chunk of solder or a solder plug and

432
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 1: it would seal the whole time. Yeah, they fall they

433
00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 1: don't fall out, but they'll loosen up, they'll get porous,

434
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:00,840
Speaker 1: they'll start to rattle, they'll leak, they'll drip fuel where

435
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:04,359
Speaker 1: they're not supposed to under certain conditions. So back in

436
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 1: the day, we would actually take the carburetors off because

437
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:09,840
Speaker 1: carburetors were expensive in and we didn't want to just

438
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 1: randomly start replacing carbs. I mean, back then, a five

439
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:16,400
Speaker 1: carburetor was a lot of money, and we would there

440
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:19,440
Speaker 1: were a poxies out there that would reseal the solder plugs,

441
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:22,720
Speaker 1: and they're they're still in use today. Carburetor rebuilders, the

442
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:26,080
Speaker 1: guys that are really rebuilding carburetors, not just swapping out

443
00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:29,119
Speaker 1: gaskets and cleaning out passageways. We'll we'll know what the

444
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 1: right stuff is and you can, you know, re re

445
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:35,879
Speaker 1: apoxy to reseal those solder plugs if they are indeed leaking.

446
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:38,720
Speaker 1: Now you may not see anything on it. What we

447
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 1: would do is we would, uh, you know, clean the

448
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 1: car up, get it dry, put a little bit of

449
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:47,120
Speaker 1: fuel in the vent overnight, you know, pour it down

450
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:49,800
Speaker 1: the vent bowl, Let the carbs sit on a workbench

451
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 1: overnight and see if it leaks out, just put it

452
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:56,240
Speaker 1: on a white shop towel and if you lifted off

453
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:59,200
Speaker 1: in in the morning, just lifted straight up. If the

454
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:01,360
Speaker 1: shop towels got gas stains on it, you know it's

455
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 1: leaking out the bottom of the car somewhere. And now

456
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:06,760
Speaker 1: at least you know, sometimes simple is better, right, It's

457
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:10,520
Speaker 1: it's the simple stuff. Um. You know, if I remember right,

458
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:12,720
Speaker 1: what I did eventually after a while, because I was

459
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:15,159
Speaker 1: I kind of wanted to see the drip. I went

460
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:17,960
Speaker 1: to the hardware store and bought at the time five

461
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:22,680
Speaker 1: inch bolts maybe six that you know, I I double nutted.

462
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 1: I put one nut on and then I put it

463
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 1: through the hole upside down, and I put the nut

464
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:28,959
Speaker 1: through the other side. And now I actually made like

465
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:32,440
Speaker 1: four a four legged carburetors stand so I could take

466
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 1: the carbo off, put it on the stand sitting on

467
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:36,720
Speaker 1: the workbench, and then I had enough room with a

468
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 1: flash light I could stick my head under there with

469
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:40,360
Speaker 1: a flash light and look and see the drip as

470
00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:43,959
Speaker 1: it was happening. I you know, and and you know,

471
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 1: just I've got those bolts somewhere. I should find those,

472
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:50,359
Speaker 1: and you know it just it just made life a

473
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:53,120
Speaker 1: whole lot easier. But we did a lot of those. Um. Yeah,

474
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:54,800
Speaker 1: and I failed to mention that I thought about that

475
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 1: after the fact. I'm sorry, but that that could be

476
00:23:56,880 --> 00:24:02,120
Speaker 1: dripping too, especially now I know exactly what to do. Yeah,

477
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 1: so I I think it's gonna be fine. He checked

478
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:09,240
Speaker 1: the shafts are tight, and he said, I just bet

479
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 1: you anything that you're gonna be fine now, because but yeah,

480
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:15,240
Speaker 1: I would really see you. Yeah, I would really see

481
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:17,560
Speaker 1: you keep what you've got because, trust me, compared to

482
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:19,600
Speaker 1: the rebuilt cores that are out there, unless you find

483
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 1: a good one or somebody that's really taken the time

484
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 1: to go through that carburetor, then um, you know it's

485
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:28,639
Speaker 1: it's what you've got is probably better than most. So alright, kid,

486
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:31,200
Speaker 1: don't give up that carburetor. I want to rebuild it.

487
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:33,159
Speaker 1: You're welcome. You're welcome, Frank, you take good care and

488
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:34,879
Speaker 1: have a good rest of the weekend. Um. You know,

489
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:38,480
Speaker 1: it's funny that the things I'm gonna remember, I guess, uh,

490
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 1: you know, by your calls, and I appreciate it because

491
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 1: you guys asked me questions and uh, you know, all

492
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:44,480
Speaker 1: of a sudden it comes to my mind that I went, yeah,

493
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:47,879
Speaker 1: I remember that we we we had a um and

494
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:50,480
Speaker 1: I still have it. Actually, I haven't gotten back to

495
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:54,760
Speaker 1: it yet. Nineties six Bronco. So nineties six was the

496
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 1: first year for O b D two, right was the

497
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:01,880
Speaker 1: last year, and then the sixes where it began. Nine

498
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 1: Bronco that had a piz one, you know, running rich,

499
00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:10,359
Speaker 1: it was running lean, actually it was. It was dumping

500
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:11,960
Speaker 1: a lot of fuel and fuel trim was a plus.

501
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:16,080
Speaker 1: Both banks and uh, you know, kind of going through

502
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:18,000
Speaker 1: it and trying to remember, you know, what goes wrong,

503
00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:19,560
Speaker 1: what goes ben I went through and then all of

504
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:21,920
Speaker 1: a sudden it dawned on me. I took the propane tool,

505
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:24,919
Speaker 1: sniffed around the upper planeum or the top of the

506
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:27,639
Speaker 1: planetm intake planement at the bottom, and sure enough, the

507
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:30,960
Speaker 1: gasket had blown out right by number two. We're number

508
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:33,680
Speaker 1: one and number two and take runner meat. And when

509
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 1: I looked at the check engine light codes, it made

510
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:40,159
Speaker 1: sense because I also had a misfire being reported on

511
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:43,080
Speaker 1: those cylinders, and it was a lean fuel condition misfire.

512
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:45,240
Speaker 1: The gas it was physically missing. As soon as I

513
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:47,560
Speaker 1: put some propane down there, the fuel trim numbers came

514
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:50,960
Speaker 1: down because I compensated for the air leak. So um,

515
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:53,679
Speaker 1: you know, the common pattern failures of cars. Cars had

516
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:57,199
Speaker 1: common pattern failures thirty years ago. You've just you know,

517
00:25:57,280 --> 00:25:59,920
Speaker 1: we've just forgotten because so much other information has come in.

518
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:04,400
Speaker 1: Push that stuff out. So anyway, zero, we'll be back

519
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 1: to the phones right after this. Don't go away. Welcome back.

520
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:15,480
Speaker 1: Running the end of the car doctor. Listening over and

521
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:18,480
Speaker 1: talk to Frank in Maine two thousand eleven, four and

522
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:20,119
Speaker 1: ranger Frank, Welcome to the car doctor. Sure, how can

523
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 1: I help Hi? Ron Um? Thanks, I've got a two

524
00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:30,120
Speaker 1: thousand eleven UH ford u x lt UM. I've got

525
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:35,120
Speaker 1: dred thousand on it. UM. But for the last three

526
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:39,720
Speaker 1: or four years that I've had it, UM, I've every

527
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 1: so often I'll have the the over drive light start

528
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:46,280
Speaker 1: flashing on. UM. But it will only do it if

529
00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:50,440
Speaker 1: I'm typically driving on the highway, which I actually don't

530
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:53,280
Speaker 1: do a lot of. So if you, if you drive

531
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:55,679
Speaker 1: on the highway on a more consistent basis, do you

532
00:26:55,680 --> 00:27:03,240
Speaker 1: think the problem is able to be reproduced? UM? Well, again,

533
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:07,840
Speaker 1: not consistently. I mean, UM. Sometimes I'll drive down the

534
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:11,120
Speaker 1: highway a few miles and it will come on. Other days,

535
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:14,240
Speaker 1: i might go down the highway, you know, close to

536
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:17,560
Speaker 1: fifty and it won't come on. UM. But that's the

537
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:20,760
Speaker 1: only time that I see it when I'm doing you know,

538
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:25,399
Speaker 1: sixty kind of a speed. But I'm just driving the

539
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:28,200
Speaker 1: back roads then it I've never seen it come on

540
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:32,280
Speaker 1: any any any fault codes in there, Yeah, I did

541
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:35,920
Speaker 1: have a fault code that UM. One of the auto

542
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:39,840
Speaker 1: parts places gave me. I had a p O seven

543
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:47,320
Speaker 1: four one. Yeah, TCC slip, which I which I've been

544
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:50,119
Speaker 1: told could mean you know, three or four things. I

545
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:53,679
Speaker 1: guess the issue is, um, do you ever have a

546
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:57,520
Speaker 1: miny bike as a kid? Uh? No, I had a

547
00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:00,040
Speaker 1: friend though that did. But yeah, you know, and and

548
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:02,959
Speaker 1: they had a centrifugal clutch. And remember the centrifical clutches

549
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:06,240
Speaker 1: that expanded out against the drum that you know, or

550
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:09,240
Speaker 1: if you look up centrifical clutch for pictures and explanation,

551
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:11,280
Speaker 1: that's that's sort of how the torqu converter works on

552
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:14,920
Speaker 1: this truck. Uh they you know, uh toru converter lockups

553
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:18,560
Speaker 1: and tripical clutch set up. Basically, they extend these they

554
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:22,280
Speaker 1: expand these friction driven plates against the outer shell of

555
00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:25,440
Speaker 1: the converters. So there's an inner and and outer the

556
00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:27,840
Speaker 1: the the you know, they have the freewheel from each other.

557
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:31,480
Speaker 1: But at the right moment, the computer grounds of solenoid

558
00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:34,119
Speaker 1: opens up a hydraulic circuit and allows fluid to flow

559
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:37,080
Speaker 1: to push these friction plates out against the outer shell,

560
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:39,520
Speaker 1: just like that set trifical clutch on your buddy's minibike.

561
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:44,120
Speaker 1: Same thing. So you know, when the engines running along

562
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:47,400
Speaker 1: at fifty miles an hour, and it's it's doing two

563
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:49,880
Speaker 1: thousand rpm. And then they lock up the converter. They're

564
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:53,440
Speaker 1: expecting to see output chef speed dropped from two thousand,

565
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:55,320
Speaker 1: you know, input chefs speed you know, two thousand on

566
00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:57,480
Speaker 1: one side. And then I expected the drop to uh,

567
00:28:57,520 --> 00:28:59,040
Speaker 1: you know, or or be even with that of the

568
00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:01,920
Speaker 1: trans because the crank because now it's locked. Now it's

569
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:05,080
Speaker 1: a one to one lock. They're both tied together. Um,

570
00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:07,440
Speaker 1: it's not seeing that, or it's or it's it's not

571
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:09,680
Speaker 1: happy with the way it's applying. It's it doesn't have

572
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:12,440
Speaker 1: the right amount of slip. They'll tolerate, you know, a

573
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:15,440
Speaker 1: certain amount of slip twenty rpm, thirty rpm, but if

574
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:18,560
Speaker 1: they're seeing more than that, because even though it's applied,

575
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 1: if the friction plates are worn out, it just you know,

576
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:27,880
Speaker 1: hydraulically it's working, but mechanically the lock isn't there. Why

577
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:30,840
Speaker 1: is it so random? You won't know until you get

578
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:33,960
Speaker 1: it diagnosed. But I'd be I'd be willing to bet that.

579
00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:36,440
Speaker 1: I'd be curious what fluid looks like, and I'd be

580
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:38,719
Speaker 1: willing to bet that with a scan tool hooked up,

581
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 1: even when it doesn't turn on the light, you will

582
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:45,960
Speaker 1: see some percentage of slip, all right, because not every

583
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:49,320
Speaker 1: you know, not every condition creates a fault code. In

584
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:53,320
Speaker 1: other words, let's say, let's say the percentage of slip,

585
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:55,040
Speaker 1: and you understand what I mean when I say percentage

586
00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:57,720
Speaker 1: of slip. If they're looking for a one to one lock,

587
00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:01,600
Speaker 1: but they'll allow twenty rpm slip off the input speed

588
00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:04,120
Speaker 1: to the output speed be acceptable if it gets to

589
00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:07,880
Speaker 1: and then at six it sets the fault code. Well,

590
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:12,160
Speaker 1: at at four it's still gonna slip, but it won't

591
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:14,400
Speaker 1: it won't set a code. So you'll see something out

592
00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:17,440
Speaker 1: of parameter. If you understand what I'm saying, Um, you

593
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:21,520
Speaker 1: know there's there's there's a limit. Usually it's obvious. Usually

594
00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:24,160
Speaker 1: it's it's it's blatant. So you know it'll be a

595
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:26,040
Speaker 1: much greater range than that. It will be zero to

596
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:29,360
Speaker 1: zero PM, and you know, the thing will hover around

597
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:31,360
Speaker 1: one fifty old day long, and then finally it gets

598
00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:34,240
Speaker 1: the two O one two to fifty and okay, bingo,

599
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:36,480
Speaker 1: we get a light, we get a code. Now the

600
00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:40,200
Speaker 1: question becomes, it's seven years old, it's got a hundred

601
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:43,040
Speaker 1: seventy five thousand miles on it. Are you gonna fix

602
00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:48,000
Speaker 1: just that. Are you gonna put a trans in it? Um? Well,

603
00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:53,320
Speaker 1: I i'd like to I'd rather try to just fix

604
00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:56,120
Speaker 1: what's wrong with it. I haven't had any other issues

605
00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:59,320
Speaker 1: with the trans um other than this. Well, And the

606
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:02,400
Speaker 1: reason I am that is is because depending upon the

607
00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:06,040
Speaker 1: fluid condition. Yeah, you know, when was the last time

608
00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:10,240
Speaker 1: the trans fluid was changed? I had it changed about

609
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:12,880
Speaker 1: a year and a half, two years ago. Um. And

610
00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:15,480
Speaker 1: because I that was the first thing I figured I

611
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:21,160
Speaker 1: would try, UM, and I I didn't notice anything appreciably

612
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:25,040
Speaker 1: different after I did that, And I guess, I guess

613
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:29,560
Speaker 1: my point becomes that fluid condition and color sets sets

614
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:32,880
Speaker 1: a precedent on you know what else could be here.

615
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:37,959
Speaker 1: Understand most of what this fault code could be requires

616
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:44,200
Speaker 1: removal of the transmission. And since since you're in Maine, UM,

617
00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:46,120
Speaker 1: I can only imagine the amount of rust that might

618
00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:51,000
Speaker 1: be under this truck. And yeah, yeah, I mean it's

619
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:53,760
Speaker 1: when I got it a few years ago, with the

620
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:56,800
Speaker 1: rust was fairly minimal, and so I've been trying to

621
00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:59,200
Speaker 1: take real good care of it ever since then. I've

622
00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:02,880
Speaker 1: been applying to you know, an undercoding right every year,

623
00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:06,680
Speaker 1: so good, you know, for that reason, i'd I'd like

624
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:08,680
Speaker 1: to see if I can't keep it longer, even though

625
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:11,040
Speaker 1: it is starting to get up there, and mind yeah,

626
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:14,160
Speaker 1: I kind of look at it as if I can

627
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:15,920
Speaker 1: pin it down as to what it is. If it

628
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:18,239
Speaker 1: needs a converter, Frank, I'll say it like this. If

629
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:20,120
Speaker 1: they diagnose it to the point that it needs a

630
00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:25,080
Speaker 1: converter and the converter is plain flat out bed, I think,

631
00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:29,080
Speaker 1: I think to buy a good quality torque converter, you're

632
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:32,480
Speaker 1: gonna find that the cost the labor to pull the

633
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:36,000
Speaker 1: trans is prohibitive enough that it's gonna pay to put

634
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:38,840
Speaker 1: a unit in it. But take it to a take

635
00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:41,960
Speaker 1: it to a trans shop, explain what we talked about.

636
00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:44,080
Speaker 1: If they want, they can listen to this and you

637
00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:45,800
Speaker 1: know it'll be up on the podcast. They can listen

638
00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:47,400
Speaker 1: to the This is the last fifteen minutes of the

639
00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:50,160
Speaker 1: first hour of today's date and they can use that

640
00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:52,200
Speaker 1: for reference. But basically, we want to go look at

641
00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:55,960
Speaker 1: tor converter slip speed and and you know, do we

642
00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:58,280
Speaker 1: have a converter that's slipping. Do we have a code

643
00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:00,360
Speaker 1: that's about to set but hasn't see if they can

644
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:02,880
Speaker 1: duplicate it and then get it diagnosed. Could it be

645
00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:05,280
Speaker 1: a solioid inside the trans shore, Could it be a

646
00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:07,960
Speaker 1: ground issue? Sure? Could it be a software update on

647
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:10,720
Speaker 1: the PCM. Yeah, but that's all given. We're gonna go

648
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:13,320
Speaker 1: look at you know, software updates anyway. So but let's

649
00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:15,520
Speaker 1: get a hardcore diagnosis on it. Kind of going in

650
00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:17,400
Speaker 1: this direction, and then if you want, we can talk

651
00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:19,000
Speaker 1: about it and run the numbers and see which way

652
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:21,200
Speaker 1: makes more sense. I appreciate the call. I'm on. Any

653
00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:27,720
Speaker 1: of the card doctor we're back right after this. Welcome back,

654
00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:30,240
Speaker 1: any of the car doctors. We kind of close things

655
00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:32,040
Speaker 1: out this hour. You know what we forgot to do

656
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:34,920
Speaker 1: this hour. We forgot to give away our books. I

657
00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:37,080
Speaker 1: just you know, I get so caught up. I'm sorry,

658
00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:39,680
Speaker 1: I got so caught up in uh um, so given away.

659
00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:42,520
Speaker 1: Next hour, that's what we'll do. We'll be due to diagnostics. Media.

660
00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:44,280
Speaker 1: Got a lot going on next hour. By the way,

661
00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:48,479
Speaker 1: Tim Richmond um is a first responder that um actually

662
00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:51,520
Speaker 1: Tom knows, I believe, and Tim Richmond is gonna stop

663
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:54,120
Speaker 1: by next hour we're gonna talk about vehicle dangers to

664
00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:57,000
Speaker 1: emergency responders. You know, we we talk about it and

665
00:33:57,000 --> 00:34:00,400
Speaker 1: we've never really looked at it in depth. But the

666
00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:04,280
Speaker 1: potential when a first responder shows up to an accident. Uh,

667
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:08,160
Speaker 1: the hazards of what they what they're exposed to, and

668
00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:11,399
Speaker 1: you know the issues in particular with electric cars. Now

669
00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:15,200
Speaker 1: the electric cars are posing some hazards when they're involved

670
00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:18,399
Speaker 1: in accidents as they as they ultimately will be. Um,

671
00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:20,560
Speaker 1: Tim is gonna talk to us about that and some

672
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:22,240
Speaker 1: of the things he's seen. So it's gonna be interesting

673
00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:24,600
Speaker 1: interview done around the bottom of the next hour. UM.

674
00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:27,840
Speaker 1: You know, as so changes the car, so changes the

675
00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:30,080
Speaker 1: way we not only work on it, but you know,

676
00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:34,279
Speaker 1: you bring it back to life or bring it back

677
00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:36,759
Speaker 1: to life. UM, get get get you, get you out

678
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:39,319
Speaker 1: of it when the when the problem happens. Um. You

679
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:42,560
Speaker 1: know that's that's an issue. So Uh, it's it's gonna

680
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:44,239
Speaker 1: be interesting to say the least. So, but that we'll

681
00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:46,680
Speaker 1: be doing joined by Tim Bridgeman, a first responder next hour,

682
00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:49,000
Speaker 1: UM to talk about that the I don't want to

683
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:52,320
Speaker 1: say the dangers, but the the issues with electric vehicles

684
00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:54,600
Speaker 1: and vehicles in general, how they've changed over the years.

685
00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:56,560
Speaker 1: Until then, I'm not on any in the car doctor

686
00:34:56,600 --> 00:35:02,600
Speaker 1: reminding you good mechanics aren't expensive they're priceless. See you,

687
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:07,040
Speaker 1: She
