1
00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:07,800
Speaker 1: Ron and an Ian. There are states with population obviously

2
00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:11,280
Speaker 1: with cars in them that have power group problem. How

3
00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:14,160
Speaker 1: in the heck are we going to come up with

4
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:17,400
Speaker 1: an all electric model lineup? How are we going to

5
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:27,040
Speaker 1: provide electricity for the Car Doctor. You can't get me

6
00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:30,040
Speaker 1: to believe that the electricity we need to power the

7
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:34,720
Speaker 1: electric vehicle doesn't come from a fossil fuel generator. Uh

8
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:37,280
Speaker 1: you know where are we going to generate the electricity from.

9
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:40,360
Speaker 1: Welcome to the radio home of Ron and Anian the

10
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:44,840
Speaker 1: Car Doctor, since this is where car owners the world

11
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 1: overturned to for their definitive opinion on automotive repair. If

12
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:52,199
Speaker 1: your mechanics giving you a busy signal, pick up the

13
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 1: phone and call in the garage to orders are open,

14
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 1: But I am here to take your call at eight

15
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 1: five and running. You know, this is the hardest part

16
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 1: of the show, this next sixty seconds, getting this hour

17
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:14,679
Speaker 1: kicked off as we kick off this hour of The

18
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 1: Car Doctor, to get to the next hour, to get

19
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 1: to next week. And the reason I think this is

20
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:22,400
Speaker 1: gonna be a tough sixty seconds is because I really

21
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:25,959
Speaker 1: enjoyed last week's show. I really did. I sat down

22
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 1: and I thought about it and you know, when you

23
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 1: sit here in the after radio glow, you just kind

24
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:35,040
Speaker 1: of boy, you just you just hit it out of

25
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:38,959
Speaker 1: the park. And you know, together, you and I we

26
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:42,120
Speaker 1: really did a good show because you contributed your calls,

27
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:45,559
Speaker 1: your thoughts, and then your emails that I got this week,

28
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 1: and your your conversations with me on Facebook about electric vehicles.

29
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 1: And you know, if if there was a way I

30
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 1: could present it here as far as your thoughts on

31
00:01:56,680 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 1: electric vehicles, I think David from Texas says it pretty good.

32
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 1: You know, he's kind of spot on. Not because he

33
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 1: agrees with me, but he just you know, it's just

34
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 1: common sense. High Rod. It's David from Texas. I listened

35
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:12,919
Speaker 1: to your show regularly on I Heart Radio. I never

36
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 1: miss it. I especially enjoy your commentary before the show begins.

37
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:19,839
Speaker 1: David opens with he says, being a fellow car guy,

38
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 1: I can always relate to your take on modern cars

39
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 1: and your amusement with the seemingly unwavering turn to the

40
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,079
Speaker 1: electric powered vehicle. And you know, David, You're right, it's

41
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 1: just why are we shoving this down everybody's throat. I

42
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 1: was reading an article in motor Rage magazine this week

43
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 1: about the trend towards battery electric vehicles. Pete Meyer wrote

44
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 1: it Pizza, the director of training for Motor Rage. We've

45
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 1: had Pete on the show. His opening paragraph, February one issue.

46
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 1: Even though hybrid vehicles have been on the US roads

47
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 1: for twenty years, they only make up Are you ready

48
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:51,359
Speaker 1: for this percentage? Anybody want to guess what the percentage

49
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:53,800
Speaker 1: of hybrid vehicles is on the road today. I was

50
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 1: shocked two point five of the total vehicles in the

51
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 1: US fleet, less than three are sent. And you're telling

52
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:10,640
Speaker 1: me in fifteen years, California signed their law, Governor Newsome

53
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 1: by five gms on the bandwagon Jaguar Ford. The car

54
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 1: companies are just like like they're giving out free checks.

55
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 1: Everybody's jumping on this electric vehicle bandwagon. And in twenty

56
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 1: years we've only got three percent of the fleeted hybrid

57
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:30,080
Speaker 1: because it's just not accepted by the American public. Why

58
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 1: is that? And I couldn't help but think that they

59
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 1: have to take away gas vehicles to get you guys

60
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 1: to buy electric. It just David. David continues, I just

61
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 1: had it right in because your thoughts on our situation

62
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 1: here last week with the freak artic blast we endured

63
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 1: chimed with mine. My home was part of the numerous

64
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 1: homes here in Texas affected by the rolling blackouts. I

65
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 1: have propane heat, and the situation was tolerable. I did okay. Unfortunately,

66
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 1: many fellow Texans and other parts of the state didn't

67
00:03:58,040 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 1: fare as well, and my prayers go out to them

68
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 1: hours too. As I sit here and listen to the

69
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 1: picture he's painting right as I sit here in the

70
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 1: eerie silence of my dark living room Monday morning. The

71
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 1: fourth thoughts that came to my mind was what if

72
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:16,600
Speaker 1: right now we all had electric vehicles that needed charging? Hello,

73
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 1: anybody home like? Yeah? All right? Three of the fleet's

74
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 1: hybrid in twenty years. It took twenty years to get

75
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 1: three percent of you. So that means, you know what,

76
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 1: if everybody ran out tomorrow and bought a hybrid vehicle,

77
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,720
Speaker 1: they couldn't keep up with demand. The training is not there,

78
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,480
Speaker 1: the tooling is not there, the support systems aren't there.

79
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:41,840
Speaker 1: Twenty years, three fifteen years electric vehicle, Yeah, I know,

80
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 1: gasolene vehicles are gonna be left over, So maybe they'll

81
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 1: be twenty years before we were all electric. Because I've

82
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:51,279
Speaker 1: got a feeling once electric vehicles go mainstream, to support

83
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:54,919
Speaker 1: for gasoline powered vehicles is gonna is gonna take a

84
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:59,839
Speaker 1: drop like the stock market did in all right, David

85
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 1: was on maybe what I mean visas. I hope this

86
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:05,840
Speaker 1: is a lesson learned to the automakers, but I doubt

87
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,599
Speaker 1: it will leave a lasting impression me too, if any

88
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 1: impression at all. Technology seems to march forward no matter what. Yeah,

89
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 1: it's called shoving it down your throat. Where is all

90
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 1: the power supposed to come from to keep these electric

91
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,600
Speaker 1: vehicles in service? And you know, David, the letter goes

92
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 1: on and we'll talk about it this hour. He's absolutely right,

93
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:26,920
Speaker 1: and all of you seem to you know, follow, I

94
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 1: haven't had anybody say, yeah, bring on electric vehicles. I'm

95
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 1: looking forward to it. But you know what, that's what

96
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:33,160
Speaker 1: we're here to do this hour. If you want to

00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 1: me the average American that has a hundred thousand dollars

106
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 1: based buy a new test well, are they a hundred grand? It?

107
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 1: All in all fairness to Tesla, my understanding is you

108
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 1: can buy a base model TESTA that starts at thirty five,

109
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:19,039
Speaker 1: and then by the time you option it out it's sixty,

110
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:23,480
Speaker 1: which yeah, it's not. It's it's so it's sixty, all right,

111
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 1: But that's their that's their base model. If you want,

112
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,360
Speaker 1: you know, if you want something luxurious on the level

113
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 1: of you know, Alexis r X three fifty, that's eight,

00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 1: all right, and you know in our extra fifty, Alexis

115
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 1: is getting to be a normal, run of the mill,

116
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:47,480
Speaker 1: mainstream Sedan suv. Right. It's comfortable, they're they're they're cushy.

117
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:52,359
Speaker 1: Um ye. I'm I'm on the same boat with you here, Emmanuel,

118
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 1: I go the other way. I want to know where

119
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:57,920
Speaker 1: the electric vehicle is gonna come from. Four here. I

120
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:00,080
Speaker 1: got three phone calls at the shop this week. As

121
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 1: I write things down on a log and I just

122
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:03,600
Speaker 1: keep tracks so I can help them. If I can

123
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 1: people looking for their their kid is starting to drive.

124
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 1: They've got six thousand dollars to spend, six thousand dollars

125
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 1: in a used car? What what? What can they buy?

126
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 1: What are you gonna get for six grand? And a

127
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 1: used car market today, something fifteen years old of a

128
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 1: hundred twenty thousand miles on at that in ten thousand

129
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 1: miles is probably gonna need a transmission. Yeah, and that's

130
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 1: that's my boat right now. You know, if I was

131
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 1: in this boat five years from now, you know, because

132
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 1: I just lost the transmission to my Blazer. Now, my

133
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 1: choice is either replace the transmission. We're go get a

134
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 1: different vehicle now, if I have to go get a

135
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 1: different vehicle, used vehicle instead of fixing this one. Of course,

136
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 1: I'm in competition with twenty other people, that's, you know,

137
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 1: in the same market trying to buy the same vehicle.

138
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 1: Now if I don't have the money, won't you know

139
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 1: because the price has tripled because you know, we're they're

140
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 1: discontinuing gasling combusting the engine vehicles. My only choices fixing

141
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 1: this Blazer or and there of course that's now putting

142
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 1: another let's put another gasoling power vehicle back on the

143
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 1: road or by an electric vehicle, and and and spend

144
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 1: a minimum of sixty grand in today's dollars. Let me

145
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 1: let me ask you a question this way without without

146
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 1: you know, getting into personal information, with your current economic situation.

147
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 1: If you were going to go out and buy a

148
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:37,319
Speaker 1: used going to go out and buy a vehicle today,

149
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 1: new were used, new, we used probably probably right now used,

150
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:47,960
Speaker 1: And what's what's the budget? What can you comfortably spend

151
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 1: my situation probably two grand at the most. So and

152
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:58,200
Speaker 1: I don't say this to hurt, because brother, I say

153
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 1: this with love. You realize in an electric car future

154
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 1: you'll be taking the bus. Oh yeah, because there's there

155
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 1: is now there is. There's gonna be no two thousand

156
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 1: used electric used electric vehicle. And that's and that's my

157
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:15,839
Speaker 1: point that you know, uh, you know, just as you've

158
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:18,719
Speaker 1: seen after Obama took office in two thousand and eight

159
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 1: when he come out saying they given the I think

160
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:27,560
Speaker 1: it's whatever trade in on your old vehicle to take

161
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 1: a new fuel efficient vehicle. A lot of these dealers

162
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:36,200
Speaker 1: are supposed to seize the engine. We know more some

163
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 1: probably didn't. And now you got a lot of them

164
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 1: that is upon used car locks, people like me trying

165
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 1: to compete with the neighbors crossed the street that trying

166
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 1: to buy the same vehicle. Well, what happens when in

167
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 1: what's supplying demand that price goes up? Hary, what about this?

168
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 1: What's gonna happen when we go you let's say, listen,

169
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:04,840
Speaker 1: if three percent of the fleet is hybrid, all round

170
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 1: up the number he was just reading in motor age before.

171
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 1: If three of the fleet is hybrid, and look at

172
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 1: the price of gasoline, what do you think is gonna

173
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:18,080
Speaker 1: happen to the price of gasoline if of the fleet

174
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:23,560
Speaker 1: is electric, because it's got to go up, right, because

175
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:26,720
Speaker 1: there's less demand for gasoline. The operating costs for the

176
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:29,200
Speaker 1: refineries are going to stay the same. I mean there's

177
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 1: some you know, listen in an order repair shop, in

178
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:40,719
Speaker 1: any business, there's fixed expenses lights, heat, you know, utilities, mortgage, whatever, loans, uniforms,

179
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:43,440
Speaker 1: operating of the of the of the capitol, you know,

180
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 1: grounds and so forth. But you know, those fixed expenses

181
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 1: are going to change as we get into you know,

182
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 1: there's less demand, We've got less income coming in, so

183
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,200
Speaker 1: you're gonna see the price of gasoline, you know, slowly

184
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:01,440
Speaker 1: climb and you know that's issue and that's gonna only

185
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 1: and that's I know. Also, Uh, you're not noise, You're

186
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 1: gonna tick off a lot of the you're just an

187
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 1: average show like me. But what about you know car

188
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 1: collectors such as like Jay Leno, Uh, just average Joe

189
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:23,199
Speaker 1: that might have a have the g t O. There's

190
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 1: old road Runner or model a Ford or you know

191
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:30,440
Speaker 1: sixty L or s S. Camaro or something like that

192
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 1: in his garage that you're not gonna give it up. Well,

193
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 1: that stuff used to be worth fifty grand. You're gonna

194
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 1: see the bottom of the collector's car market fallout, all right,

195
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 1: because and I've said this for years, all these guys

196
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:48,079
Speaker 1: spending three million dollars for hemmy Hemmy kudas on on

197
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 1: eBay and meek Um and and you know all Barrett Jackson,

198
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 1: if it doesn't have gasoline, it's a flower pot with

199
00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 1: four wheels because it doesn't run. And you know we're

200
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:05,319
Speaker 1: we're talking about and then I've got to go, bib.

201
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 1: We're talking about that moment in society when things change.

202
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:15,839
Speaker 1: There's that flip right all of a sudden, the things

203
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 1: that we're worth something for fifty or sixty or seventy

204
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:25,120
Speaker 1: or a hundred years are worth nothing because gasoline doesn't

205
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 1: exist at the current economic price, you know. And it's funny.

206
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 1: And then I'll go to break tomp. You know. They can.

207
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 1: They can convince us of anything they want, but supply

208
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 1: and demand. Simple economics doesn't change. Math doesn't lie. And

209
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 1: what they're going to do is change society. And they're

210
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:47,720
Speaker 1: gonna do it by the means of math. And I

211
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 1: don't know that it's for the better. I know change

212
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 1: is inevitable, and I know we have to accept it,

213
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 1: like we all accepted cell phones. And I'm not saying

214
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 1: cell phones are bad. But the point is, this is

215
00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:00,200
Speaker 1: a very ambitious undertaking, and I think a lot if

216
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 1: little people are gonna get trampled in the roar to

217
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:06,680
Speaker 1: get to the front door. Five zero nine zero zero manual.

218
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 1: I appreciate the call. I'm Ron any in the car doctor.

219
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:20,719
Speaker 1: I'll be back right after this. What's more fun than

220
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:22,959
Speaker 1: listening to Ron Andy in the car doctor and getting

221
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 1: that car fixed right? Eight five five five zero nine

222
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:29,959
Speaker 1: zero zero. Give Ron a call? Now back to Ron. Hey,

223
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:32,000
Speaker 1: let's get over to a j in Illinois. Lest be

224
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 1: coming through loud and clear in Illinois today wants to

225
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 1: talk about getting kids involved in cars. A J. Welcome

226
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 1: to the car doctor, sir, how are you doing wrong?

227
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 1: Can you hear me? Okay, I can, I can hear you?

228
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:48,280
Speaker 1: Just fine? What's on your mind? Good? You know I

229
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 1: listened to your show. I was telling Tom, you know,

230
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 1: I get you usually the day after your show is

231
00:13:54,480 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 1: live up here and over here. But yeah, some comments

232
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:04,439
Speaker 1: that were made last week about you know, the industry

233
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:09,199
Speaker 1: and where it's headed. And of course the technology, especially

234
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:13,679
Speaker 1: the EV stuff is you know, it's really jumping. It's

235
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 1: going quick. There's gonna be tons of tons of need

236
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 1: for for some youngsters to try to get involved. But

237
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 1: you know, to your point, it's so freaking expensive, you know,

238
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 1: for these guys to be able to do that, um

239
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 1: and and and I think the price is going to

240
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 1: keep it from becoming as a natural transition. J. What

241
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 1: a J? What? What? What made you a car guy?

242
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 1: My dad, my father was. He was a hottie decorated

243
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 1: GM service manager for years. I grew up in it.

244
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 1: Uh we drag race. Um. I even I even had

245
00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 1: some time to actually go pro stock race. I was

246
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 1: a mechanic and the transport operator. So I mean it's

247
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 1: you know, I've been around it all my life. The kids,

248
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 1: the kids, the kids today aren't around it. That's the problem.

249
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 1: And that's the problem it is. I mean, like you said, this,

250
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 1: you know, machine in your face kind of thing all

251
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 1: the time. Is seems to be the new norm. You know,

252
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:32,800
Speaker 1: give me a phone, give me that's it now. But

253
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 1: it used to be give me a video game. Maskot

254
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 1: to just give me a phone, and then I got

255
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:41,160
Speaker 1: it all, you know, when I went to high school,

256
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 1: because I think about this a lot. What made me

257
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:46,720
Speaker 1: a mechanic? Did it happened by environment? That it happened

258
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 1: by chance? Was it? You know? Was it you know,

259
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 1: the higher beings decision? This is what God wanted me

260
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 1: to do? Because sometimes I think about that, all right,

261
00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 1: like how does everybody end up where they are? Okay?

262
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 1: When I went to high When I when I went

263
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 1: to high school, there were three types of kids. In

264
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 1: my opinion, you know, there were three categories. You were

265
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 1: a gear head, a jock, or a geek. All right.

266
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 1: The geeks were the smart kids. The farmer or a

267
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 1: farmer well not not in well, I guess in North

268
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 1: Jersey we had some of those. Yeah, but you know,

269
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 1: we we had athletes. But you know what I mean,

270
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 1: we had athletes, We had smart kids, and we had

271
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 1: you know, we had we had gear heads, all right.

272
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:32,600
Speaker 1: I actually I actually had more than a few teachers

273
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 1: tell me you're not smart enough of this class. Go

274
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 1: take auto shop, all right, all right, And that was

275
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:43,680
Speaker 1: the mindset forty years ago. You're not smart enough to

276
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 1: do this, you don't need math. You should really be

277
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:49,120
Speaker 1: in shop class. Because they didn't know what to do

278
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 1: with me. And you know what I and I took Yeah,

279
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 1: and I took to it like a fish to water.

280
00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 1: It just it was what I was acclimated to. And

281
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 1: my point becomes, there's no wore autoshops in high schools anymore, uh,

282
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:06,680
Speaker 1: you know, no, And and and that's why the kids

283
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:09,120
Speaker 1: have their noses stuck in a machine. And and they're

284
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 1: gonna become a cell phone. I think that's what kids

285
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:17,439
Speaker 1: are gonna become today. I know it's unfortunate, especially you know,

286
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 1: and again, um, as we're discussing technology, when you when

287
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:26,119
Speaker 1: you look at all these manufacturers out there, Tesla, GMS

288
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:31,359
Speaker 1: big into this EV technology. And I've just taken on

289
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 1: a new role um that I'll be starting actually on Monday.

290
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 1: And so for the last seven eight days, I've been

291
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:43,040
Speaker 1: cramming GM College, you know, trying to get some of

292
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:45,760
Speaker 1: my certifications back. I left it for about three and

293
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 1: a half years. Ron, I just I got burnt out

294
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:52,679
Speaker 1: on some of the just some of the personal aspects

295
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 1: of it, and then some of the demands that people

296
00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:56,800
Speaker 1: were wanting to make back on the you know, the

297
00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:59,920
Speaker 1: kind of key recalls and all this kind of stuff,

298
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:03,920
Speaker 1: and so you got frustrating to me and I I've

299
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:06,920
Speaker 1: been in it over twenty something years. I needed a break,

300
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:09,840
Speaker 1: But you know, I made it back. So that's where

301
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 1: I belong, where I was brought up, you know, like

302
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:16,080
Speaker 1: you said, you know, I started as a youth, and

303
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 1: I my youngest son Bilt, both of them, but my

304
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:24,080
Speaker 1: youngest son, um, he works for Balvolinea Loop Loop Shop. Now,

00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what working on. I'll tell you what

306
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:28,840

320
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 1: I forgot where you were. Brother. We were talking about

321
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:31,400
Speaker 1: the industry. Yeah we're yeah, the industry itself, and and yeah,

322
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:34,119
Speaker 1: how kids are they going to get back into it?

323
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:36,639
Speaker 1: Or how are they not? In our main point of

324
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:40,080
Speaker 1: conversation here was this facted, Um, we just don't have

325
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:44,960
Speaker 1: kids that are um stretching their legs with wrenches and

326
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:48,040
Speaker 1: screw drivers anymore. I mean, it's all about sitting in

327
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:53,800
Speaker 1: front of a damn computer. Pardon my friends, but you know, um,

328
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:57,240
Speaker 1: I do have. My last mentioned was my youngest. He's

329
00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:00,679
Speaker 1: uh twenty, just had a birthday. He works for a

330
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 1: loop shop and he enjoys it. It's just a simple

331
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:06,360
Speaker 1: loop shop. I do have the opportunity to drag him

332
00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:10,040
Speaker 1: along with me and hiring him as uh one of

333
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:12,719
Speaker 1: my loop guys at the at the new dealership. I'm

334
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 1: headed too, and I'm excited about getting back into it.

335
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:20,720
Speaker 1: Run this uh last seven eight days of Graham and

336
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 1: this GM college stuff has really got to be excited.

337
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:26,880
Speaker 1: There's a lot of new technology out there, and I'm

338
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:29,560
Speaker 1: not I'm you know, yeah, I'm a GM guy, and

339
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:32,880
Speaker 1: I'm not just trying to tout them all these all

340
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:37,159
Speaker 1: these dealers have got all this technology. But again, we

341
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 1: gotta find young ones that are willing to uh to

342
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:44,600
Speaker 1: be able to at least take that plunge, you know,

343
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:48,119
Speaker 1: to try to uh to better himselves. And at this point,

344
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:51,439
Speaker 1: you know, based on what we've been talking about, for

345
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:54,960
Speaker 1: you and I, it was pretty easy. Our fathers did it,

346
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 1: or we just the shoe fit, we wore that kind

347
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:02,880
Speaker 1: of thing. But now I think more than anything, we've

348
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:07,399
Speaker 1: got to convince um, some of the younger people, um

349
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:12,439
Speaker 1: that it can be a very lucrative, very lucrative gigs.

350
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:17,320
Speaker 1: Somewhere somewhere along the way it will get to be lucrative.

351
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:21,440
Speaker 1: It's it's coming around. You know. My comments list week

352
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:24,640
Speaker 1: still stick in my mind because I still believe that

353
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:26,600
Speaker 1: to be the case. How do you convince a kid,

354
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:30,400
Speaker 1: you know, it's hard, right, you're a kid. Hey, grand

355
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 1: in debt? Okay, grand in debt? Look at the long

356
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:38,840
Speaker 1: term prospects, all right? And you know, in all fairness,

357
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:41,120
Speaker 1: I thought about it during the week where my comments

358
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:43,600
Speaker 1: too harsh. I forgot to mention. So you go twenty

359
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:48,280
Speaker 1: five grand in debt and you've got and automobile future

360
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:53,360
Speaker 1: versus a quarter million dollars in debt going to a college,

361
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:58,520
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, it's it's to me, to me

362
00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 1: and you. It's a no brainer. Yeah, you know, I

363
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:02,960
Speaker 1: mean a lot of another. Another one of the issues,

364
00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:04,919
Speaker 1: unfortunately we have to deal with today or on is

365
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 1: that common sense seems to be going away. Yeah, that's

366
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:10,280
Speaker 1: a whole another, that's a whole another conversation. Hey, j

367
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 1: I gotta move it along. Did you have a question

368
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:14,280
Speaker 1: about a vehicle? Real quick? Not to cut your short,

369
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:17,159
Speaker 1: I did real quick. I just I did. No, You're fine,

370
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:20,600
Speaker 1: and and thanks for your time. I love your show. Um,

371
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 1: I traded me. I traded my oed Avalanche for a

372
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:27,400
Speaker 1: little Toyota Highlander because I'm gonna be commuting about fifty

373
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:30,120
Speaker 1: five miles a day with new gigs. I needed something

374
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:33,680
Speaker 1: to get me a little better fuel mileage. So this

375
00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 1: O three Highlander has got a situation to where and

376
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:40,960
Speaker 1: I think I know what it is, but I'll just

377
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:43,960
Speaker 1: running by it. None of the power windows work except

378
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:48,360
Speaker 1: for the driver's side. My power blocks don't work. And

379
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:53,440
Speaker 1: outside of that, I fixed a couple of things. I mean,

380
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:55,800
Speaker 1: I won't even go into that. I'm embarrassed for the

381
00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:58,199
Speaker 1: people that actually looked at this vehicle prior to me

382
00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:00,920
Speaker 1: purchasing it. I bought it from a from a used

383
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:03,240
Speaker 1: card dealer that I'm very familiar with. I help him

384
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 1: out on the GM side of things when you need stuff.

385
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 1: But I'm thinking my opinion, and I'm thinking that the

386
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 1: master switch is bad. I would agree with you at

387
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:17,840
Speaker 1: the driver door. I would agree with that. You know,

388
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:20,360
Speaker 1: round to you? You know, can you can you get

389
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:24,400
Speaker 1: your hands on a diagram on a wiring diagram? I have,

390
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:28,280
Speaker 1: and and I pulled the switch, and can you run

391
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:30,400
Speaker 1: power over to each one of those windows and see

392
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 1: if you can get it to operate? That you have continuity? Man,

393
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:36,959
Speaker 1: that's the problem. The way this thing is set up

394
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:42,280
Speaker 1: is this thing is like a module. You know, I could, yeah,

395
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:44,879
Speaker 1: I could. I could go ahead and can continue some

396
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:48,680
Speaker 1: disassembly and uh, the old you know how we used

397
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 1: to use paper clips, right, yeah, and we we'd crossed stuff,

398
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:54,440
Speaker 1: you know, just to see if we can get it done.

399
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 1: But there's a couple of issues with the switch anyway

400
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:04,679
Speaker 1: that warrant replacement. And so I thought, before I go

401
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:07,600
Speaker 1: through all that, why don't I just go ahead and

402
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:11,120
Speaker 1: get the switch, put it in there. It doesn't care

403
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:13,440
Speaker 1: my problem. Then we'll diagnose from that point. You know,

404
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:15,679
Speaker 1: if you've got a scantial, you could get into the

405
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 1: if you could get into the e c U, the

406
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:21,160
Speaker 1: body computer, you can actually get into the body computer

407
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 1: and test the functionality of that switch, depending upon what

408
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:29,439
Speaker 1: level of scan tool you've got. Um. The other thing

409
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:32,000
Speaker 1: you want to look at is inside that master switch.

410
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:35,960
Speaker 1: There's gonna be a blue orange wire. Just just make

411
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:40,919
Speaker 1: sure that blue orange wire isn't short at the ground. Okay.

412
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:43,840
Speaker 1: If it's not, then yeah, you've probably got a bad

413
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:45,480
Speaker 1: master switch. But way do you see the price of

414
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:50,679
Speaker 1: that master switch? You already priced it? Oh e M.

415
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 1: You know if I can say it on air for yeah,

416
00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:01,760
Speaker 1: I bought it I bought it buddy of mine actually

417
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:03,679
Speaker 1: been around for a long time. But a friend of

418
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:08,840
Speaker 1: mine owns a a salvage center, and of course he does.

419
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:12,120
Speaker 1: He's national now and he's been around for a long time. Man,

420
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:14,119
Speaker 1: I got one comming it's gonna cost me a hundred

421
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:17,879
Speaker 1: fifty bucks, and so I figured for under fifty bucks.

422
00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:19,800
Speaker 1: I know there's a couple of things about the switch

423
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:23,240
Speaker 1: that needs to be replaced anyway. Usually, usually the paddles

424
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:28,880
Speaker 1: are usually the panels are starting to break. Um, yeah, rocker, yeah,

425
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:31,600
Speaker 1: the paddle rockers. So hey, listen, let's leave it there

426
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:33,080
Speaker 1: a j but you give me a call back, you

427
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 1: get some more updated information. I'd left to chat and

428
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:37,480
Speaker 1: I'll leave it here. Imagine the price of that power

429
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:40,000
Speaker 1: windows switch on an electric vehicle, because it's only gonna

430
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:42,840
Speaker 1: get worse from this point on. So, um, you know,

431
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 1: where is the future of this industry? I love the comments, man,

432
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:48,919
Speaker 1: keep them coming. Matt in Long Island. Let's get started

433
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:50,480
Speaker 1: and we'll finish up on the other side of the break.

434
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:52,400
Speaker 1: How can I help you in your ow one Dacota today? Sir,

435
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:55,960
Speaker 1: thanks for your patients, Hey, Ron, no problem. First off,

436
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:57,960
Speaker 1: great show. Listen to you guys all the time. You

437
00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:01,240
Speaker 1: keep me seeing in a crazy world. Right now, thank you. Um,

438
00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:03,320
Speaker 1: I got a I got a question in a comment.

439
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:06,920
Speaker 1: First thing, if I can get both into my first

440
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:10,360
Speaker 1: one is I got the two thousand one Dodge Dakota. Um.

441
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:13,360
Speaker 1: I'm driving down the road. Hit about thirty and here

442
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:16,720
Speaker 1: nice good shimmy, not not in the wheel, but in

443
00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:20,119
Speaker 1: the seat of my pants. UM. I got to about fifty.

444
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:24,480
Speaker 1: Seems to level off. UM. I checked about ties. Tires

445
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:31,360
Speaker 1: are good. UM, I'm kind of going towards the drive shaft.

446
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:34,240
Speaker 1: And my question to you is, when I have that

447
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:36,879
Speaker 1: thing up, all four tires off the ground, should I

448
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:41,560
Speaker 1: have any shake in that drive shaft. It's hard, it's

449
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:45,400
Speaker 1: hard to judge in the air driving it like that

450
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:48,720
Speaker 1: because this the rear suspension is hanging and it has

451
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 1: the ability to bounce depending upon how strong the rear

452
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 1: shocks are. So I don't I don't find that to

453
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 1: be a good method of checking a drive shaft to

454
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:02,520
Speaker 1: see if it's got some bend to it, so to speak. Um,

455
00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:04,680
Speaker 1: you know there's you know, they're it's hanging there free

456
00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:08,639
Speaker 1: right and depending upon how you're if the suspension is tired,

457
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:11,320
Speaker 1: it's going to allow lateral movement and cause the shaft

458
00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 1: to bounce. You know, let's say it like this. The

459
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:17,200
Speaker 1: vehicles twenty years old and it's got how many miles

460
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:22,040
Speaker 1: on it? Right, so it's just broken in, right. Just

461
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:25,480
Speaker 1: let's let's just let's just let's just keep it going. Man.

462
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:27,400
Speaker 1: Let's you know what what would it take to pull

463
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:31,119
Speaker 1: the shaft, check the joints, and then have the chafts

464
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:32,919
Speaker 1: send it out to a drive shaft shop while you

465
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:36,360
Speaker 1: can still find one before they banned those two. You're

466
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:39,119
Speaker 1: not You're not kidding. They are hard to find, ye

467
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:43,760
Speaker 1: And hey, listen, um, before I let you go, I'm

468
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:46,840
Speaker 1: gonna do that tonight. Um. I also had a little

469
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 1: uh comment. You were talking about electric cars and the

470
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:53,520
Speaker 1: grid and the ability to you know, just support all

471
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:56,280
Speaker 1: of these new great ideas that the government's coming up with.

472
00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:58,520
Speaker 1: The funny thing I thought was pretty ironic. You might

473
00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:01,600
Speaker 1: get a kick out of it in Texas. That horrible

474
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:04,240
Speaker 1: thing happened in Texas with the with the grid going down.

475
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:08,120
Speaker 1: The first thing that the federal government did with all

476
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:11,440
Speaker 1: of their new green, new ideas is they sent sixty

477
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:15,720
Speaker 1: generators filled to the top with diesel fuel to help

478
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:18,760
Speaker 1: him out. I thought that was kind of ironic. Nobody

479
00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 1: donlar panels. Nobody sent down windmills. They loaded up a

480
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:24,800
Speaker 1: bunch of old generators, filled them up with gas and

481
00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:27,320
Speaker 1: sent it down. And and you know, and and I'll

482
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:29,800
Speaker 1: leave it. I'll leave it there, Matt. And my thought is,

483
00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:33,280
Speaker 1: you know, where does all the electricity come from? How

484
00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:36,320
Speaker 1: is it generated? I keep hearing rumors about coal fired

485
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:39,480
Speaker 1: mills that are creating electricity, and everybody tells me, no,

486
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:42,880
Speaker 1: I'm crazy, it's I I think it's just pure magic.

487
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 1: That's what I'm thinking. Just PM does it. And uh yeah,

488
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:48,160
Speaker 1: we'll leave it there, Matt. To be continued. Let me

489
00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:51,880
Speaker 1: know what happens with the Dakota A five nine zero

490
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:54,120
Speaker 1: running eating the car? Doctor coming back right after this?

491
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:08,200
Speaker 1: Get them back doctor. Let's let's go over to Wayne

492
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:10,040
Speaker 1: in New Hampshire and see what's going on here when

493
00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 1: you're out of the car, doctor zero, How can I

494
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:23,440
Speaker 1: help Wayne? Yes, sir, I UM, I have a situation,

495
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:36,240
Speaker 1: Alexis Um. It had check in June, like come on, otto,

496
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:50,080
Speaker 1: um idot transmission came on right after and they fixed it.

497
00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:58,640
Speaker 1: But this is where I give mystery. Um they had

498
00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:06,600
Speaker 1: code cur and cancel light to be on checked with

499
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:11,440
Speaker 1: a scan tool. Down. I take it you're reading a

500
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:15,120
Speaker 1: repair order. Way, yeah, yeah, what code did it have?

501
00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:24,800
Speaker 1: I am, um, ke zero four to zero? This is

502
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:28,600
Speaker 1: a what and E S three hundred less? Yes? Okay?

503
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:35,960
Speaker 1: V six right, So bank one catalytic converter has low efficiency.

504
00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:38,840
Speaker 1: Right now, You notice I didn't say that it has

505
00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:42,640
Speaker 1: a bad CAT. I said it cat has low efficiency alright,

506
00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:45,720
Speaker 1: because no, no, nowhere under the definition of a fourth

507
00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:48,160
Speaker 1: twenty does it say P zero four twenty change cat.

508
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:52,720
Speaker 1: All right? It probably it probably needs a CAT. But

509
00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:54,920
Speaker 1: there's a couple of the things you gotta check. But

510
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:58,600
Speaker 1: what's your question to me before I jump ahead? Well,

511
00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:05,280
Speaker 1: it calls out for found data for bank to fuel

512
00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:17,720
Speaker 1: triumphs of AT and bank at monitored zero two data

513
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:28,440
Speaker 1: B two as one reading was shown lean, Hey Wayne, Wayne,

514
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:32,080
Speaker 1: before you before you read the book, this guy wrote, Um,

515
00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:36,600
Speaker 1: So what you've got here is somebody give you gave

516
00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:40,320
Speaker 1: you a diagnosis, all right, which is fine, which is fine.

517
00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:44,560
Speaker 1: And they told you the car needed something. Did they

518
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:49,560
Speaker 1: charge they charge it for the diagnosis? Right? Did you

519
00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:54,360
Speaker 1: make the repairs? Yes? Okay, So what's your question to me?

520
00:31:55,960 --> 00:32:05,040
Speaker 1: Um what is replaced the B two one B two

521
00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:09,520
Speaker 1: F one bank to centsor one. So this this car,

522
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:13,400
Speaker 1: for the sake of our conversation, to make this easy,

523
00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:17,560
Speaker 1: all right, this car has four oxygen sensors. I'm really

524
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:20,760
Speaker 1: lying because the ones before the cadger fuel censors the

525
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:23,040
Speaker 1: ones after the cadgery two centers. But for the sake

526
00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:27,800
Speaker 1: of our conversation, they're oxygen sensors. All right. Bank bank

527
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:30,400
Speaker 1: one on any engine is the cylinder we're selling. Is

528
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:33,800
Speaker 1: the bank where cylinder one is located in a V

529
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:37,280
Speaker 1: six Lexus or Toyota. That's the rear bank. Bank two

530
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:41,840
Speaker 1: is the front bank. There's two O two censors up front.

531
00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:45,320
Speaker 1: There's two O two censors after the cat all right,

532
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:49,000
Speaker 1: Bank to centsor one is the forward oh two or

533
00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:53,680
Speaker 1: forward air fuel censor in your case. Okay, tell you what.

534
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:55,480
Speaker 1: Stay put right where you are. We'll come back and

535
00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:57,160
Speaker 1: finish it up. This way, we don't have to rush.

536
00:32:57,240 --> 00:32:58,800
Speaker 1: I'm on a nading in the car. Doctor will be

537
00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:08,000
Speaker 1: back right after this. Welcome back. Let's get over to

538
00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:12,880
Speaker 1: Wayne in New Hampshire again. Wayne, you're still there, so, um,

539
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:15,840
Speaker 1: So there's four O twos in this car. Pick up

540
00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:19,240
Speaker 1: the conversation where it was we got three minutes. Okay,

541
00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:24,200
Speaker 1: a catalytic converter. They're measuring the oxygen content coming in

542
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:29,000
Speaker 1: versus oxygen content going out there. They have to see

543
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:33,840
Speaker 1: a certain reduction of oxygen. That's how they know whether

544
00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:36,080
Speaker 1: the cats being efficient or not, because if they see

545
00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:40,080
Speaker 1: a reduction of of oxygen of X, they can make

546
00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:44,160
Speaker 1: the mathematical assumption that the oxygen molecules combined with the

547
00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:48,160
Speaker 1: hydrocarbons and became something else, which is a less harmful

548
00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:52,920
Speaker 1: pollutant coming out of the tailpipe. Makes sense? Yes, Okay,

549
00:33:53,880 --> 00:34:00,320
Speaker 1: they're talking about to deal trims off at the end

550
00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:08,360
Speaker 1: and after they were replaced, what they did? Uh fuel

551
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:14,200
Speaker 1: trims under five? Okay? What did they replace? What did

552
00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:20,799
Speaker 1: they replace? O two center on the leading end? Okay?

553
00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:28,440
Speaker 1: So um, remember high school geometry? Remember remember that goofy

554
00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:31,680
Speaker 1: number line zero and then you had positive numbers and

555
00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:33,640
Speaker 1: negative numbers, and you said, what do we need that for?

556
00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:37,000
Speaker 1: I did remember. I remember that very distinctly. That was

557
00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:38,560
Speaker 1: right before the math teacher threw me out and said

558
00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:42,200
Speaker 1: go take auto shop because you're a dumb kid. So

559
00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:47,719
Speaker 1: so zero is a balanced fuel mixture, all right? If

560
00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:51,160
Speaker 1: If the vehicles running lean, they have to add fuel.

561
00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:53,319
Speaker 1: They open the injectors up a little bit more. They

562
00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:57,000
Speaker 1: can add oxygen. They had fuel, they increase the width

563
00:34:57,480 --> 00:35:00,560
Speaker 1: or they increase the amount of timing injector is held on.

564
00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:05,000
Speaker 1: All right, so they add fuel. If the vehicles running rich,

565
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:08,959
Speaker 1: they it's the negative number. They take fuel away. They're

566
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:14,120
Speaker 1: looking for a balanced air fuel mixture. All right, Your

567
00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:19,759
Speaker 1: guys probably onto something. Um time will tell. But basically,

568
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:22,080
Speaker 1: fuel mixture is just a measurement of how well that

569
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:25,560
Speaker 1: engine is running in tune in Stoe metric. I'm running

570
00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:27,439
Speaker 1: any of the car doctor reminding until the next time.

571
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:38,920
Speaker 1: Good mechanics aren't expensive, they're priceless. Let's see it.
