1 00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:06,280 Speaker 1: Ron Ananian, I keep a log of everything when I 2 00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:08,720 Speaker 1: fix it the nightmare, I always keep the journal. This way, 3 00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:17,360 Speaker 1: I want to mediating the nursing home. Like the car Doctor. 4 00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:21,520 Speaker 1: When you cranked the car, the fugel pressure awfullaid, I'm sorry, 5 00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:24,600 Speaker 1: the fuel pressure what awfully? When you cranked the vehicle, 6 00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:28,080 Speaker 1: the fuel pressure jumps around. It goes from about to 7 00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:30,520 Speaker 1: about thirty as you crank the car. Okay, so that's 8 00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:33,360 Speaker 1: a problem. Welcome to the radio home of Ron and 9 00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:38,120 Speaker 1: Nanian the Car Doctor, since this is where car owners 10 00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:42,560 Speaker 1: the world overturned to for their definitive opinion on automotive repair. 11 00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:45,839 Speaker 1: If your mechanics giving you a busy signal, pick up 12 00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:49,360 Speaker 1: the phone and call in the garage. Do orders are open? 13 00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:52,280 Speaker 1: But I am here to take your calls at eight five, 14 00:00:51,840 --> 00:01:00,160 Speaker 1: five six and now running. There's a human element to 15 00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:03,600 Speaker 1: auto repair, and it it's I see it every week, 16 00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:06,679 Speaker 1: and you know, sometimes it's something I did, sometimes it's 17 00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:10,440 Speaker 1: something the consumer did, the vehicle owner did, and sometimes 18 00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:14,959 Speaker 1: it's just something happens. This week was no exception. It 19 00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:17,520 Speaker 1: was kind of a rough week. I gotta tell you, 20 00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:19,240 Speaker 1: I'm a little banged up this week. And you'll know 21 00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:23,000 Speaker 1: why in a minute. But you know there's a um 22 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:24,920 Speaker 1: if one thing want to repair is taught me, it's 23 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:28,720 Speaker 1: it's you know, it imitates life, it really does. It's 24 00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:30,840 Speaker 1: it's just like cheap underwear. You never know one's going 25 00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:34,080 Speaker 1: to creep up on you, and it does. It does 26 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:37,960 Speaker 1: at the least opportune times, and it teaches you humility 27 00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:42,240 Speaker 1: and um. It's always glad to point out your mistakes. 28 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:47,760 Speaker 1: You know, I always think that I have to be 29 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:50,440 Speaker 1: perfect when I go into the shop. I do. I 30 00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:52,279 Speaker 1: have to. You know, if I was a baseball player, 31 00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:55,760 Speaker 1: nobody's coming to see me if I'm if I, if 32 00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:59,360 Speaker 1: I strike out, or if I if I if I'm 33 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:01,160 Speaker 1: not perfect on that car, I've got to be ten 34 00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,800 Speaker 1: out of ten. There's just no getting away from it. 35 00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:06,280 Speaker 1: Because nobody out there, and nobody within the sounds of 36 00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,120 Speaker 1: my voice, nobody that's ever listened to me. He's gonna 37 00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,440 Speaker 1: sit there and say, I go to this mechanic. He's 38 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:12,560 Speaker 1: right about three out of ten times. But I like 39 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,120 Speaker 1: him a lot. He's a great guy. It doesn't work 40 00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 1: like that. You've got to be right every time, and 41 00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,680 Speaker 1: you can't make mistakes. And sometimes the mistakes aren't so 42 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:25,160 Speaker 1: much on a diagnosis which you never want to make, 43 00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 1: but just in procedure. You know, it's the procedure that 44 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:32,320 Speaker 1: that will that will be your downfall if you're not careful. 45 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 1: And I guess in looking back, I can say it 46 00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,040 Speaker 1: is kind of funny, um when I think about this, 47 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 1: and I'll tell you the story because it might make 48 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:43,080 Speaker 1: you laugh. And it's okay, you can laugh at me 49 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:44,960 Speaker 1: for this week because I probably deserve it for being 50 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:49,520 Speaker 1: a knucklehead. So we had to put leaf springs, leaf 51 00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:52,560 Speaker 1: spring shackles and an O four four van this week. 52 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,440 Speaker 1: The shackles tend to rot away. They you know, they 53 00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:58,799 Speaker 1: just don't hold up. And here's this eighteen year old vehicle. 54 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,400 Speaker 1: And then sure enough they routed a way. And you know, 55 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:03,880 Speaker 1: the really whimsical part is that the customer said, well, 56 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:05,760 Speaker 1: I was gonna do this in my driveway and I said, yeah, no, 57 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 1: you're not doing that in your driveway. There's just no way, um, 58 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:10,920 Speaker 1: because I've done this job a hundred times before, and 59 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:13,160 Speaker 1: I you know, every time the bolts are frozen in 60 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:16,520 Speaker 1: the in the least spring, and um, you know, Danny 61 00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 1: even knows it. He knows when he gets the parts. 62 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:21,359 Speaker 1: When we order parts for this. He knows automatically to 63 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 1: go to the shelf because there's gonna be bolts and nuts. 64 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:26,000 Speaker 1: I remember the first time we did this, he said, 65 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 1: why did you order the bolts? I said, why do 66 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:29,360 Speaker 1: you think he goes? I don't know he goes. You 67 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:31,560 Speaker 1: have your reasons, I said, yep, And sure enough he 68 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 1: went to the job and the bolts were frozen in 69 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:34,560 Speaker 1: the rubber bushings and you couldn't get him out and 70 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:35,760 Speaker 1: you had to cut him. You had to torch him, 71 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,040 Speaker 1: and you know, just cut the thing apart, which he's 72 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,040 Speaker 1: learned now he knows if I order something, it's because 73 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 1: I know we need it. It's I'm not wasting time 74 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:43,360 Speaker 1: having to wait for the part to show up a 75 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:47,240 Speaker 1: second day. So you know, this van was no exception. 76 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:48,640 Speaker 1: We put up in the air and we always try, 77 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,280 Speaker 1: you know, we're we're you know, we were like little kids, right, 78 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,880 Speaker 1: We have blind faith. We just sure those bolts will 79 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,840 Speaker 1: come out after eighteen years sitting behind at tire that's 80 00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,520 Speaker 1: been spraying road salt on it and every other conceivable 81 00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 1: thing and weather and you know how bad could this be? 82 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 1: Well you always find out because that bolt doesn't move. 83 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 1: So we had to cut the bolt off. And we 84 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 1: were in a rush, and that's my fault because we 85 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:12,600 Speaker 1: were rushing. We were very busy in the shop and 86 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 1: and you know, clarity of mind, and you know, I 87 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:21,359 Speaker 1: probably should have changed my shoes, but I was in 88 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:23,960 Speaker 1: a hurry. I have these leather shoes I'll tend to 89 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 1: wear when I'm using the torch because well, you know, 90 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 1: when the spark fell out of the torch, as it 91 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:32,880 Speaker 1: always seems to do, and it found the top of 92 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,120 Speaker 1: my shoe, that wasn't the problem when it melted through 93 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 1: my shoe and into my sock and I was hopping 94 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:39,960 Speaker 1: around like fog horn and leghorn after he was trying 95 00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:44,559 Speaker 1: to uh, you know, get to the chickens and the cartoons. Yeah, 96 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,040 Speaker 1: that was a problem. Unfortunately, Danny had a bucket of 97 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 1: water and he dumped it on my foot put the 98 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:51,680 Speaker 1: fire out, and um, you know, it's not every day 99 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,440 Speaker 1: you can hear a national, nationally syndicated talk show hosts 100 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:56,280 Speaker 1: say they set their foot on fire and lifted all 101 00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:59,680 Speaker 1: about it, right, And that was the moment of humility 102 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:01,680 Speaker 1: that as well, that was part of the moment of 103 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:04,200 Speaker 1: cheap underwear creeping up on you and making you realize 104 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,840 Speaker 1: that you're just you know, things happen, but it just 105 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:12,040 Speaker 1: what a dumb move, what a knucklehead move. And then 106 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,080 Speaker 1: I said, well that will never happen again. And you know, well, 107 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,000 Speaker 1: we'll just go back to being perfect, because we're all 108 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,080 Speaker 1: perfect because we all think like that, right, we all 109 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:19,400 Speaker 1: want to get up every day and do the best 110 00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 1: we can do and be perfect. But then Friday came 111 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:28,760 Speaker 1: and it was simple. It was get a battery. Put 112 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,960 Speaker 1: a battery in a ninety six mas the Miata. You know, 113 00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,320 Speaker 1: ninety six is a while ago. It's you know, we're 114 00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:36,679 Speaker 1: creeping up on twenty five years. And the only place 115 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,200 Speaker 1: I can get a battery for this Miata is from Masa. 116 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:41,599 Speaker 1: There's something really peculiar about it. They have too vent 117 00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:43,120 Speaker 1: lines coming off of it. I don't know if any 118 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:46,400 Speaker 1: other manufacturer available to us, any vendor in the Northeast 119 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 1: that has it. So we we we're working on this 120 00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:51,120 Speaker 1: car very very long time. And when we do it, 121 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 1: we we order a battery right out of Marsden. There 122 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:55,880 Speaker 1: is no exception. We ordered a battery and it showed 123 00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:58,960 Speaker 1: up and I put it in and I don't like 124 00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:01,839 Speaker 1: moving this car. You know this is a really nice 125 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:05,000 Speaker 1: mas de Miata. I mean, jim has taken really good 126 00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,760 Speaker 1: care of it. It's jet black, it's perfect. I I 127 00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:09,359 Speaker 1: tend to park it at the far end of the 128 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 1: park a lot every time it comes in. I just 129 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:12,640 Speaker 1: don't want anything to go near it, you know, I 130 00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:14,240 Speaker 1: don't want a bird to fly over it. I don't 131 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:17,760 Speaker 1: want anything bad to happen to this car. And I 132 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:19,600 Speaker 1: put the battery in it right where it was parked. 133 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:21,360 Speaker 1: I had parked at the far end. I didn't need much. 134 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:23,040 Speaker 1: I needed, you know, a ten millimeter socc at a 135 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:26,840 Speaker 1: small ratchet, and you know that was it, basically in 136 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:29,120 Speaker 1: a flashlight. It was because it's in the trunk. It's 137 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:30,880 Speaker 1: it's a little bit cock eyed to get to, but 138 00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:34,680 Speaker 1: it's not the worst. So I changed the battery, walked away, 139 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 1: and you know, when the went in the shop, wrote 140 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,400 Speaker 1: the bill. Bill was easy enough to write. Texted and may, Jimmy, 141 00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:41,760 Speaker 1: your car has done, come get it. We're here too, 142 00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 1: for it's Friday. We want to go home. Jimmy showed 143 00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:47,320 Speaker 1: right up. Fifteen twenty minutes later, paid the bill, walked 144 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:48,440 Speaker 1: out and I said, you know what, let me go 145 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:49,640 Speaker 1: grab it for you. I said, I got at the 146 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:51,880 Speaker 1: far end of the lot, and, um, you know, let 147 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:53,440 Speaker 1: me bring it up to you, and and and just 148 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,600 Speaker 1: give you a little service. He so great, thanks, you know, 149 00:06:55,640 --> 00:07:02,800 Speaker 1: And I jumped in the car. Click huh uh click. 150 00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:06,200 Speaker 1: Wait a minute, there's a new battery. How can the 151 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:10,640 Speaker 1: new battery be dead? More importantly, why were you a knucklehead? Ron? 152 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:12,120 Speaker 1: Why don't you go and try and start the car? 153 00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 1: I never it never even dawned on me, right, you know. 154 00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:19,800 Speaker 1: It's you get beat mentally in this business. And and 155 00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,760 Speaker 1: and that's just one of the things that goes wrong. 156 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:26,440 Speaker 1: And I talked to the boys at MOS. I called 157 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:28,120 Speaker 1: MOS up real quick, and I talked to my guys 158 00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 1: up there. And the issue is it's such a low 159 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:32,880 Speaker 1: turnover part. It's just such a low turn you know. 160 00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 1: It's it's it's a it's a nineties six me out 161 00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:37,600 Speaker 1: how many of them are left? And I should know 162 00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:39,680 Speaker 1: this by now because I've talked about it here on 163 00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:41,080 Speaker 1: the show, and I've talked about it. You guys have 164 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:43,280 Speaker 1: heard me talk about it. Um. I think the last 165 00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:45,680 Speaker 1: day we couldn't get was it either a radiator or 166 00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:47,920 Speaker 1: the A C condenser or both because parts are just 167 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:49,960 Speaker 1: running out for this car. There's just nothing out there. 168 00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:53,560 Speaker 1: So Jimmy was really good about it. And that's what 169 00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:55,920 Speaker 1: I love him about him, that you know, he understands 170 00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:58,680 Speaker 1: what I'm dealing with and he's fine, round, I'll pick 171 00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:00,480 Speaker 1: it up Monday. So I put the battery in charge 172 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:02,600 Speaker 1: for the better part of forty five minutes and you know, 173 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:05,080 Speaker 1: it started right up like I expected it to. And uh, 174 00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:07,760 Speaker 1: you know what we're gonna find out Monday morning? Does this? Uh? 175 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,040 Speaker 1: Does this month?

They lifted me up, They got me 242 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,160 Speaker 1: in a chair, and I couldn't get the meal for free, 243 00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:18,240 Speaker 1: though I was surprised, but you know, not that I 244 00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:20,480 Speaker 1: wanted to try. It was just an interesting But that's 245 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 1: the kind of week I had. But the shout out 246 00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:25,160 Speaker 1: to the guys over the suburban dining room paramus, New Jersey. 247 00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:27,920 Speaker 1: As always, Um, the adults take very good care of me. 248 00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:29,240 Speaker 1: Let's go over to the phone. Let's go over to 249 00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:32,760 Speaker 1: Jeremy and down in d C thirteen Silverado. Jeremy, let 250 00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:35,280 Speaker 1: me see, let's see if you can make my weekendy easier. Brother, 251 00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:40,880 Speaker 1: what's going on with you down there? Well? Is it? Quickie? Um? 252 00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:43,160 Speaker 1: I'm doing this water pump. You know. Actually as we 253 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:47,720 Speaker 1: speak on my Silverado, and um, I figured what the 254 00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:50,559 Speaker 1: hell do the heater hoses too? Since they have a 255 00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:54,000 Speaker 1: hundred sixty thousand in the plastic fittings and whatnot. And 256 00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:56,640 Speaker 1: I got them off with a couple of those quick 257 00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:59,480 Speaker 1: release tools, which I mean is still know like absolute technic, 258 00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:03,959 Speaker 1: but came off nonetheless. But um, you know, now I'm 259 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,800 Speaker 1: noticing and it could have been there before. Like where 260 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 1: the two stems come through the firewall to the heater core. 261 00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:12,480 Speaker 1: I mean, I do get some up and down movement 262 00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:14,360 Speaker 1: on each of them, but it is equal. I mean, 263 00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:15,680 Speaker 1: do you think I'm gonna have to get into heater 264 00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,760 Speaker 1: core here at some point? They do? They do tend 265 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:22,000 Speaker 1: to wiggle as long as you weren't real trying to 266 00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,120 Speaker 1: take the clips off that you broke the core. But 267 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:27,680 Speaker 1: you'll know right away, uh you know, Okay, I figured. 268 00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:30,559 Speaker 1: You know, you'll you'll know right away when you put 269 00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:32,360 Speaker 1: it together if when you started up you're getting some 270 00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:34,520 Speaker 1: cooling inside the cab. I hate to say it like that. 271 00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:39,400 Speaker 1: You'll know now now who's who's Yeah, that'll be the warning. 272 00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:44,320 Speaker 1: Whose hoses are you using? GM? Okay, yeah, that's the 273 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:46,200 Speaker 1: way to go. And you know the funny thing is, 274 00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:48,520 Speaker 1: and I will tell you this, you can get those 275 00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:53,640 Speaker 1: hoses in aftermarket providers, Delco among them, and then you 276 00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:56,360 Speaker 1: can go right to GM and buy the real GM hoses. 277 00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 1: I think the real GM hoses in this application are 278 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,840 Speaker 1: of the way to go. And I also think that 279 00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:05,320 Speaker 1: you know, here's a vehicle nine going on ten years old, 280 00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:08,120 Speaker 1: hern sixty thousand miles. As you say, those heater or 281 00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:11,040 Speaker 1: hoses on the right side, they run right over the 282 00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:15,640 Speaker 1: exhaust manifold. They are they are heat soaked and and brittle, 283 00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:18,600 Speaker 1: and you know, I just think it gets to a 284 00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:21,800 Speaker 1: stage where, yeah, you change him at this point and 285 00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:24,720 Speaker 1: if he used the GPS, because you know, the plastic 286 00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:26,360 Speaker 1: is actually just you know what I mean, like the 287 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:29,560 Speaker 1: plastics be where there's a section of his turn like 288 00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:32,920 Speaker 1: dark brown. You know where you been heated and whatever. 289 00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:37,160 Speaker 1: Um it's it's it's hard, is what it is. The 290 00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:42,440 Speaker 1: term exactly as far as this where the water pump 291 00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:45,720 Speaker 1: meets the block here, I mean the the connect they 292 00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:49,800 Speaker 1: where the gasket meets, where the actual rubber parts of 293 00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:53,080 Speaker 1: the gasket meets the block. It looks pretty clean. Now 294 00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:56,160 Speaker 1: there's some rust beyond it where you know, the to 295 00:13:56,320 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 1: the metal flange is overlap. But if that part where 296 00:13:59,880 --> 00:14:01,760 Speaker 1: the rubber hits, it's good and clean. Am I am 297 00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:05,679 Speaker 1: pretty good shape? Yeah? Absolutely? What you could do is, um, 298 00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:07,960 Speaker 1: you don't want to use sand paper, So let me 299 00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:10,480 Speaker 1: preface it by saying that. Let me start there sand 300 00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:13,800 Speaker 1: papers and no, no, they make something three M I 301 00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:16,560 Speaker 1: believe is the manufacturer, but others make it Scotch Bright. 302 00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:19,720 Speaker 1: We refer to them as Scotch Bright pads. It's like 303 00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:23,080 Speaker 1: it's like a Brillo pad for auto mechanics. And if 304 00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:25,600 Speaker 1: you were to get a Scotch Bright pad, the purple one, 305 00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:29,480 Speaker 1: I think there's varying degrees of uh you know, um 306 00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:34,040 Speaker 1: uh roughness or coarseness. Yeah, but we use the purple 307 00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:36,640 Speaker 1: one in the shop. That reddish purple one is more purple. 308 00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:39,000 Speaker 1: Maybe purple brown is a better way to describe it. 309 00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:42,200 Speaker 1: And we will scotch bright gently scotch bright that mounting 310 00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:45,000 Speaker 1: surface of the pump, and the rust is annoying. But 311 00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:48,360 Speaker 1: the rust is there because the flange doesn't sit flush 312 00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:51,440 Speaker 1: against the block, and moisture creeps in with oxygen because 313 00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:54,160 Speaker 1: it's exposed the atmosphere, and it'll rust a little bit. 314 00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:56,680 Speaker 1: But yeah, with scotch bright that and just get it 315 00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:59,360 Speaker 1: nice and smooth and then maybe take a little low 316 00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:01,400 Speaker 1: you know, maybe be some break clean on a rag 317 00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:05,040 Speaker 1: and gently or some solvent and just gently wipe it away. 318 00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:07,640 Speaker 1: And you know, the other thing, the other thing I've 319 00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:10,160 Speaker 1: grown to do is I will take a thin schmeir 320 00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:13,320 Speaker 1: schmir being you know, whether you're a bagel or doing 321 00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:15,120 Speaker 1: a water pump on a silveradi, you take a thin 322 00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:18,840 Speaker 1: schmear of yellow grease lithium grease and just you know, 323 00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:20,880 Speaker 1: rub it in the area where you're gonna put the 324 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:23,920 Speaker 1: gaskets the seal, and that allows the gas get to 325 00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:26,680 Speaker 1: kind of walk right and will allow the gas get 326 00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:29,160 Speaker 1: to kind of you know, set itself down, sit down 327 00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:30,800 Speaker 1: on a chair and kind of wile your butt and 328 00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:33,200 Speaker 1: get comfortable in the in the cushions, right.

You know, I remember my first boss, Billy, 333 00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:52,120 Speaker 1: and I'm going back. I was sixteen and we were 334 00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:54,240 Speaker 1: putting leaf spring It must have been leaf springs on 335 00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:57,840 Speaker 1: my mind. After this week and we're putting leaf springs in, 336 00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:01,520 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say it, come arrow is how far back 337 00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:05,240 Speaker 1: we're going? And you know we, you know we, I'm 338 00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:06,920 Speaker 1: going to put the bolts in the and the and 339 00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:10,080 Speaker 1: the shackles and always, you know, put lithium Greece. Why 340 00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:13,640 Speaker 1: lithium Greece, Billy, because the lithium or the yellow grease, 341 00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:16,360 Speaker 1: it hasn't changed. We called it lubriplate l u b 342 00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:20,280 Speaker 1: r I lubriplate back in the day. The lubriplate doesn't 343 00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:22,760 Speaker 1: break down the rubber. It will help keep the rubber 344 00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:25,320 Speaker 1: intact and it doesn't attack it. And it's always it 345 00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:27,960 Speaker 1: will always keep things, you know, moving and free. So 346 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,040 Speaker 1: I've always gotten in that half. But I've always used 347 00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:32,560 Speaker 1: that anytime I come in contact with rubber as a 348 00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:36,800 Speaker 1: permanent lubricant or protecting against the atmosphere environment. Yellow grease. 349 00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:39,520 Speaker 1: Lithium grease just works great. Now I think it's white grease. 350 00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:41,080 Speaker 1: I think they've kind of changed the wording and some 351 00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:43,960 Speaker 1: people know it as white grease. But you know, yeah, 352 00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:46,160 Speaker 1: I'm looking at it right now like from blast or 353 00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:49,160 Speaker 1: white lithium grease, white lithium grease. I mean it's in 354 00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:50,760 Speaker 1: the spray. Can if I just put a little on 355 00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:52,880 Speaker 1: my finger. Do you think that'll do the job. Yeah, 356 00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:54,080 Speaker 1: that's all, you know. I don't know if I put 357 00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:57,160 Speaker 1: it right in your finger, yeah, maybe maybe put it 358 00:16:57,200 --> 00:16:59,000 Speaker 1: maybe get a you know, go get a paper towel 359 00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:00,760 Speaker 1: out of the house, spray someone the paper towel and 360 00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:02,440 Speaker 1: then put it on. Don't put it right on your finger. 361 00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:04,720 Speaker 1: You know, your skin is such a big organ that 362 00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:07,240 Speaker 1: you know, it'll absorb into your skin and over time, 363 00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:10,280 Speaker 1: you know, I don't want anything to happen to you. Uh, 364 00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:12,520 Speaker 1: you know, just just a thin schmir all. Right, But 365 00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:14,119 Speaker 1: you're on your way, you'll be finding you know what 366 00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:16,199 Speaker 1: you can also put that. You can also put that. 367 00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:18,560 Speaker 1: You know that that P B blaster lithium grease or 368 00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:21,040 Speaker 1: that PBE lithium grease. Put a you know, give a 369 00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:23,640 Speaker 1: sprits to the end of the heater hoses where they're 370 00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:25,959 Speaker 1: gonna go on to the heater fittings and we'll just 371 00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,240 Speaker 1: click on. It'll again. You can kind of wiggle the 372 00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:30,240 Speaker 1: hose and and and set it on the end of 373 00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:32,960 Speaker 1: the nipple there and it'll make a nice positive seal. 374 00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:34,919 Speaker 1: You'd be surprised how much easier the hose goes on 375 00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:37,760 Speaker 1: and clicks in place with a little bit of that lithium. 376 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:41,199 Speaker 1: So well, man, I appreciate it, but I really do. 377 00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:43,719 Speaker 1: I never would have thought a million years putting lithium 378 00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:47,040 Speaker 1: on the works. Really well. So alright, kiddo, you'll be well, 379 00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,560 Speaker 1: enjoy your vehicle and uh, you know, happy motor and 380 00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:51,440 Speaker 1: I'll talk to you again, Jeremy. I appreciate your calls 381 00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:54,520 Speaker 1: as always. You're right, you're well, um, yeah, a little 382 00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:57,720 Speaker 1: dab a lithium will do it right. Just just all 383 00:17:57,760 --> 00:17:59,679 Speaker 1: those little things around the house and around the garage 384 00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:01,240 Speaker 1: that you don't know what to do with, there's an 385 00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:03,640 Speaker 1: example of what to do with it. And until then, 386 00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:05,400 Speaker 1: I'm running any in the car, doctor, I'll be back 387 00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:35,399 Speaker 1: right after this. Don't go away second. It's not a 388 00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:40,280 Speaker 1: big motorcycle, just car. I have to be somebody down 389 00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:42,600 Speaker 1: with the volume. There we go. Thanks, Tom, appreciate it. 390 00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:43,879 Speaker 1: Tom and I are having I think we're having an 391 00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:46,200 Speaker 1: internet slowdown problem today. Let's go over to Chris and 392 00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:48,879 Speaker 1: Colorado return called fourteen explorer. Chris, where we at with 393 00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:50,920 Speaker 1: this vehicle? This was a crank no start last week 394 00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:53,240 Speaker 1: and I had to do in some mass airflow sensor test. 395 00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:56,720 Speaker 1: Would you end up with yes, sir? Uh yeah, no 396 00:18:56,840 --> 00:19:03,200 Speaker 1: change of profane clean the mass airimeter. Um. Yeah, checked 397 00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:06,120 Speaker 1: spark with a spark tester and we've got nothing. I've 398 00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:08,200 Speaker 1: checked and see if we have inject your pulse. I 399 00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:10,680 Speaker 1: do have inject your pulse. I listened to it stuff 400 00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:13,200 Speaker 1: filp like you said, and so I'm gonna agree with you. 401 00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:15,280 Speaker 1: It doesn't seem like a fuel this year on. I 402 00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:16,840 Speaker 1: don't think. I don't think it is a fuel issue. 403 00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:20,520 Speaker 1: So we've got spark. When we checked for spark, how 404 00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:24,600 Speaker 1: um I had previously put a spark plug in there 405 00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:28,199 Speaker 1: in the in the coil and checked it. And this 406 00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:31,879 Speaker 1: week I bought a plug a spark tester was adjustable 407 00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:36,920 Speaker 1: and took it out to Volds. Angry blue spark jumped 408 00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:40,200 Speaker 1: the gap and this was was I'm trying to remember. 409 00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:42,400 Speaker 1: Was this running in it died or your wife had 410 00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:45,200 Speaker 1: parked it and you went out and it didn't start 411 00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:49,440 Speaker 1: one yep, and it was running and it she ran 412 00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:51,320 Speaker 1: errands with it. She went out and started it and 413 00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:54,359 Speaker 1: it was running really badly. So she turned it off, 414 00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:58,119 Speaker 1: went to re started, and it wouldn't start, and it 415 00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:00,320 Speaker 1: had when I got it. I got it, toe got 416 00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:03,080 Speaker 1: it home. It had no fuel pressure, but it had volume. 417 00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:05,360 Speaker 1: So I put a new motorcraft pump in it. It's 418 00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:10,359 Speaker 1: still a crank, I start. Does this? Does it crank funny? Chris? No, sir, No, 419 00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:13,520 Speaker 1: it cranks cranks like it should start. So it's it's 420 00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:16,240 Speaker 1: it's it's it's it's a it's a clean crank. It 421 00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:19,320 Speaker 1: doesn't sound like it's out of time. No, No, And 422 00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:23,960 Speaker 1: I just oddly enough, I just did the evil water 423 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:25,840 Speaker 1: pump on that thing. As you know, it's behind the 424 00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:28,879 Speaker 1: timing set and I just replaced the timing set at 425 00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:32,720 Speaker 1: a hundred twenty thousand miles on it. Can we have 426 00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:36,240 Speaker 1: a scan tool? Chris? Absolutely, I've got nine oh six 427 00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:39,919 Speaker 1: If you that's right, and if you were to plug 428 00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:42,320 Speaker 1: that in and crank it, I'm wondering you should see 429 00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:47,280 Speaker 1: cranking rpm. Yep, I'm sure. I'm okay. Yeah, I was 430 00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:50,439 Speaker 1: gonna say, I'm sure you will. Um, yeah, I've already 431 00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:55,200 Speaker 1: done it. Two pm, sir. Yeah, we got a verify, 432 00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:58,600 Speaker 1: We've got a verified mechanical timing. You've got everything else. Okay, 433 00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:01,800 Speaker 1: we you've we've got everything else. I you know, if 434 00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:06,520 Speaker 1: the mass airflow was bad, all right, you know, heck 435 00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:10,520 Speaker 1: feeding it fuels. It's got a kick. The pigs gotta kick, right, 436 00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:14,280 Speaker 1: it's I it propane over the week. Like I told you, 437 00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:16,679 Speaker 1: I bought a propane richment tool and I held the 438 00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:18,840 Speaker 1: button for thirty seconds and I held up to a 439 00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:23,680 Speaker 1: minute right, a couple of different times, and it did nothing. Right. Yeah, No, 440 00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:26,120 Speaker 1: it should it should it should kick it sounds like 441 00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:28,040 Speaker 1: I mean, if you want. I don't think I don't 442 00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:29,160 Speaker 1: know what this is. I don't if this is gonna 443 00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:30,960 Speaker 1: tell you enough, and I'm I'm now, I'm just I 444 00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:34,880 Speaker 1: want to verify mechanical integrity. You could put a vacuum 445 00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:37,320 Speaker 1: gauge on that and crank it. But I've learned not 446 00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:41,440 Speaker 1: to use mechanical vacuum or cranking vacuum on newer engines. 447 00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:44,560 Speaker 1: Just because I'm gonna depend on that, and then I'm 448 00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:47,320 Speaker 1: gonna get into a weird scenario where I've got something 449 00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:50,960 Speaker 1: with cam timing or turbo and there, you know, the 450 00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:53,960 Speaker 1: the engineers are gonna play with mechanical timing of the 451 00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:55,920 Speaker 1: cams during crank and it's not going to be the 452 00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:59,080 Speaker 1: same as when it's running. And you know, I've I've 453 00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:00,920 Speaker 1: I've learned not to look get that so much is 454 00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:03,679 Speaker 1: for what I'm trying to do. UM. You know, if 455 00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:05,800 Speaker 1: this was a if this was a two thousand four 456 00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:10,680 Speaker 1: explore different conversation. UM, the only other thing I'm just 457 00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:12,359 Speaker 1: trying to think of. There's anything else in my head. 458 00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:15,439 Speaker 1: You know, you've eliminated, you've eliminated everything. It's got spark, 459 00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:18,600 Speaker 1: it's got injector pulse. You fed it fuel. You know, 460 00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:20,960 Speaker 1: you see cranking RPM signal if you want to see 461 00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:24,240 Speaker 1: if you're cranking RPM signal is accurate. Unplugged the crank sensor, 462 00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:27,080 Speaker 1: all right, you know, let's try and break it just 463 00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:29,200 Speaker 1: to just to verify your tests are accurate. If you 464 00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:31,399 Speaker 1: want to do that much before you just you know, 465 00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:33,879 Speaker 1: you go through mechanical time. You disabled the crank sensor, 466 00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:36,919 Speaker 1: you should lose spark injector pulse and cranking rpm on 467 00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:40,240 Speaker 1: the scan tool. That that that validates those three tests 468 00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:44,240 Speaker 1: as accurate, right, And then then at that point it's 469 00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:48,560 Speaker 1: it's what's mechanical timing and how do we how do 470 00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:50,919 Speaker 1: I check mechanical timing on that engine? Because I was 471 00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:53,639 Speaker 1: talking to my buddy that's you know in older cars, 472 00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:56,560 Speaker 1: and myself I don't know on this right. I'm used 473 00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:58,920 Speaker 1: to push your odd stuff and I'm like, okay, so 474 00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:03,040 Speaker 1: the the balancer is not right, it's not keyed, So 475 00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:05,320 Speaker 1: how do we do mechanical Well, you're gonna have so 476 00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:08,359 Speaker 1: you're yeah, you either yeah, you either gotta look at 477 00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:10,639 Speaker 1: a valve cover and you know, for number one and 478 00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:12,919 Speaker 1: look where the valves and then bring the piston around 479 00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:16,160 Speaker 1: and and look to see, you know, when the pistons 480 00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:18,080 Speaker 1: up top are both valves closed. But you're gonna have 481 00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:20,280 Speaker 1: to find marks somewhere. But you know where those are? 482 00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:23,520 Speaker 1: Those are down there are those are those are down 483 00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:28,000 Speaker 1: in the belly of the beast. Uh yeah, yeah, um 484 00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:30,320 Speaker 1: uh you know, just to verify that, I mean, the 485 00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:34,560 Speaker 1: only other possibility we've got here is is the catalytic 486 00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:38,280 Speaker 1: converter clogged. You know I doesn't have an exhaust on it. Okay, 487 00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:41,760 Speaker 1: you pulled exhaust. Eat. Yeah, the exhaust is off because 488 00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:43,000 Speaker 1: you had to. I had to drop it to do 489 00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:46,159 Speaker 1: the do the fuel pump, and I haven't put it 490 00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:51,320 Speaker 1: back because it wouldn't start. So I think you're into 491 00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:54,280 Speaker 1: something mechanical here, brother, I really do. I was. I 492 00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:56,800 Speaker 1: was afraid of that, Yeah, I was. I was thinking 493 00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:58,119 Speaker 1: that I was gonna do it. I was gonna do 494 00:23:58,160 --> 00:23:59,960 Speaker 1: a compression test on it, because I was like, Okay, 495 00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:04,800 Speaker 1: it doesn't have compression. You could I mean, you could 496 00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:07,719 Speaker 1: do a cranking compression test. I'm not sure what you're 497 00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:12,560 Speaker 1: gonna see. Um, you know, if the chain jumped six, 498 00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:17,280 Speaker 1: it likely won't start and still sound the same. I mean, 499 00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:18,840 Speaker 1: you could try it. What the heck? You got nothing 500 00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:22,880 Speaker 1: to lose. Listen as long as as long as your 501 00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:24,760 Speaker 1: your wife's not sitting there saying I told you not 502 00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:27,760 Speaker 1: to do the timing chain. You know, no, no, no, no, 503 00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:30,480 Speaker 1: no no, And it's now we were already looking at replacement. 504 00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:33,280 Speaker 1: We weren't happy with it, and we were looking at replacement, 505 00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:36,320 Speaker 1: and I had near replacement surgery because of a work accident, 506 00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:40,400 Speaker 1: and so we actually she's driving a brand new two 507 00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:42,640 Speaker 1: Hundai Palisade. And so now it's a matter you're getting 508 00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:45,960 Speaker 1: it fixed so we can sell it. So what do 509 00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:48,040 Speaker 1: you think of that timing chain? Isn't that where you'd 510 00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:50,919 Speaker 1: put a water pump? Isn't that a great design? Oh yeah, 511 00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:53,600 Speaker 1: that's a terrific place. Yeah, coming you know, coming from 512 00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:55,760 Speaker 1: pushod engines, like I said, you know, on a small 513 00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:58,960 Speaker 1: block forward or even on my oh six gramax I 514 00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:01,480 Speaker 1: could change in a couple of and yeah, that's a 515 00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:03,879 Speaker 1: that's a real treat. You wonder what they were thinking. 516 00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:05,800 Speaker 1: The engineer that put that in there out to be 517 00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:08,520 Speaker 1: kickering the teeth and maybe even a little bit lower. See. 518 00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:10,679 Speaker 1: I really think that the engineers designed this stuff in 519 00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:13,480 Speaker 1: the morning and then they think about it and they say, 520 00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:14,840 Speaker 1: let me go to lunch, and think about if they 521 00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:16,320 Speaker 1: go to lunch, they have a couple of drinks, they 522 00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:18,800 Speaker 1: come back, sure, why not? Who cares? And then I think, 523 00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:20,719 Speaker 1: I think all these decisions get made in the afternoon 524 00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:23,000 Speaker 1: at three o'clock, at the three o'clock meeting, because it's 525 00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:26,720 Speaker 1: it's it's illogical. Uh, you know that job retails. I 526 00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:28,359 Speaker 1: don't know what it's like in Colorado, but I can 527 00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:31,040 Speaker 1: tell you in New Jersey that job retails all day 528 00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:35,000 Speaker 1: long thirt to do a water pole. Yeah, yeah, I 529 00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:37,520 Speaker 1: mean I can, I can see it. Yeah, And it 530 00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:38,800 Speaker 1: was one of those I was in there and I 531 00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:40,040 Speaker 1: was like, well, I might as well to place the 532 00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:42,240 Speaker 1: timing set on here. You know, it seemed like it 533 00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:43,960 Speaker 1: was in good shape. It was like, man for the 534 00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:48,520 Speaker 1: extra money. Yep, yep, yep, yep. I mean, I'm sure 535 00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:51,000 Speaker 1: we'll say it like this. I was talking to I 536 00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:53,399 Speaker 1: was talking to Chris, one of the texts at Opus 537 00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:56,000 Speaker 1: Ivs at their tech line this week about a four 538 00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:58,000 Speaker 1: we were working on and I needed some more information 539 00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:00,399 Speaker 1: and Chris started telling me the story about his I 540 00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:03,680 Speaker 1: think it's an OH nine Lincoln with the same set 541 00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:06,200 Speaker 1: of timing chain and water pump. And here's here's the 542 00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:09,959 Speaker 1: sad truth. He can't even get a timing chain for it. Nobody, 543 00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:13,199 Speaker 1: you know, their their their back order from Ford. And 544 00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:15,119 Speaker 1: he doesn't want he doesn't want to use anything else. 545 00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:17,159 Speaker 1: And I don't blame him because I don't want to 546 00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:21,359 Speaker 1: do that job twice. And you know, it's the complexity. 547 00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:25,159 Speaker 1: They took something that was so simple and you know, 548 00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:28,520 Speaker 1: for whatever reason, just made it a whole lot more complicated. 549 00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:32,280 Speaker 1: So um, I will say if you talk to him again. 550 00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:37,640 Speaker 1: The Clois timing set looks identical for its parts. Okay, 551 00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:41,679 Speaker 1: I ordered it from from a big online part's house 552 00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:46,800 Speaker 1: and it looks identical. And that's my my neighbor recommended them. 553 00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:48,879 Speaker 1: They offer a whole set. You know, I've got the tensioner, 554 00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:51,359 Speaker 1: it's got the guy that's got everybody, you know. The 555 00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:55,159 Speaker 1: nice the nice thing about Cloys is you can go 556 00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:58,359 Speaker 1: to their website because you make excellent points as you 557 00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:00,639 Speaker 1: can go to their website and they've got some really 558 00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:05,320 Speaker 1: great instructional videos on installation and uh you know how 559 00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:08,000 Speaker 1: to do um. So yeah, Cloy's is definitely good stuff. 560 00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:09,640 Speaker 1: There a name, a name that's been around a good 561 00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:11,880 Speaker 1: long time. Chris, you're gonna get to this car this week? 562 00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:17,879 Speaker 1: Uh yeah, I'm gonna look at it on Yeah. That's 563 00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:19,000 Speaker 1: the last thing I want to do is tear that 564 00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:21,439 Speaker 1: stinking timing cover off of the front cover again and 565 00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:23,840 Speaker 1: look at it. But yeah, I'll definitely check it out. 566 00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:26,120 Speaker 1: I can't think of it. I can't think of anything else. 567 00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:28,119 Speaker 1: I think you're into mechanical timing unless you know, if 568 00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:31,560 Speaker 1: you if if you were scope. If you were scope capable, 569 00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:33,520 Speaker 1: I could tell you to go and do CAM crank 570 00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:37,240 Speaker 1: sync with a scope. But yeah, I don't know that 571 00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:42,119 Speaker 1: you would see it during crank accurate enough. You probably would, 572 00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:46,560 Speaker 1: And I do I do wonder about CAM currank because 573 00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:50,280 Speaker 1: I I checked the live data the other day after 574 00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:53,240 Speaker 1: we talked. It was actually listening to myself on the podcast, 575 00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:57,000 Speaker 1: and I noticed that one of the cams, the intake 576 00:27:57,080 --> 00:28:01,840 Speaker 1: cam on bank too, it wasn't shows fault and then yes, 577 00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:04,840 Speaker 1: as it sinks, it's not coming up. Yes, So I 578 00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:07,640 Speaker 1: pulled the in take off a bank one. I took 579 00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:10,080 Speaker 1: it completely out of the cylinder head and it still 580 00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:11,880 Speaker 1: showed that it was sinking. And I'm like, well, that's 581 00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:15,359 Speaker 1: not possible. It's completely out of the system. Yeah. Yeah, 582 00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:17,280 Speaker 1: So I feel like something weird is going on. Yeah, 583 00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:19,280 Speaker 1: it sounds like you got you got a timing issue. 584 00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:21,520 Speaker 1: It just it just sounds that way. And you know 585 00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:24,320 Speaker 1: the fact that it was running rough when it died, 586 00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:28,439 Speaker 1: I think that's I think that's the clue. So let 587 00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:31,840 Speaker 1: us know when you know, Chris, alright, brother already would 588 00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:36,200 Speaker 1: be well anytime, anytime, anytime, you know, you'll know when 589 00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:38,120 Speaker 1: you know, boy, that kind of stinks. So not a 590 00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:40,280 Speaker 1: job you want to go and do twice Randy and 591 00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:43,160 Speaker 1: the car Doctor. I'm back right after this zero nine 592 00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:54,120 Speaker 1: zero zero, don't go away. Welcome back. We're on the 593 00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:56,280 Speaker 1: end of card. Let's get over to Kurt in Wisconsin 594 00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:58,880 Speaker 1: twenty one Camrae some questions. Kurt, welcome to the car Doctor. 595 00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:03,400 Speaker 1: How can I help? Well, I got about well, there's 596 00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:07,000 Speaker 1: about miles on it and uh, all of a sudden, 597 00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:10,520 Speaker 1: you hear this. It sounds like a knock underneath the 598 00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:13,680 Speaker 1: oil cap. I took it to good Year and he said, 599 00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:18,280 Speaker 1: take that thing in. It's still under warranty. Took it Tota. 600 00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:21,880 Speaker 1: The left side of the motor. I know there's that 601 00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:28,200 Speaker 1: electric valvet electric motor that does the valve timing, but 602 00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:31,680 Speaker 1: I don't think that's it. And he said to me 603 00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:34,040 Speaker 1: that they had two cars out in the garage doing 604 00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:38,360 Speaker 1: the same thing. Okay, And what do they do to 605 00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:40,240 Speaker 1: fix it? Or are they fixing it or they taking 606 00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:42,760 Speaker 1: on a part or what are they doing? No? Nothing wrong? 607 00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:46,200 Speaker 1: Well there is And I just want to make this 608 00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:49,960 Speaker 1: clear that particular model Toyota has two injectors per cylinder 609 00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:58,960 Speaker 1: V six four. Yeah. Should I believe that has two 610 00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:03,240 Speaker 1: injectors PERSONA. They're gasoline direct injection vehicle, and there's a 611 00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:06,120 Speaker 1: high pressure and a low pressure injector. And I believe 612 00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:09,280 Speaker 1: you know, there is a complaint among the Toyota owners 613 00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:12,680 Speaker 1: that they hear this ticking or tapping noise as a 614 00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:16,120 Speaker 1: result of that high pressure injector. Now you're sure that's 615 00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:17,520 Speaker 1: not what you're hearing? Is that? What is that? What 616 00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:22,160 Speaker 1: Toyota is referencing, Well, what's not saying there's anything wrong 617 00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:25,959 Speaker 1: with it? Right there? Saying it's normal, it's normal, and 618 00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:28,600 Speaker 1: it's it's you know, I got fifteen miles on it. 619 00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:33,160 Speaker 1: I'm considering that brand new almost and uh and uh. 620 00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:35,120 Speaker 1: I heard it, and I'm like going, wow, I started 621 00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:37,200 Speaker 1: it up and all of a sudden, I heard I 622 00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:39,960 Speaker 1: heard this, you know. I took it to the good 623 00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:43,080 Speaker 1: Year guy and he goes, hey, that sounds like it's deeper. 624 00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:45,160 Speaker 1: He says, uh, And I said, that's what I'm here 625 00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:47,320 Speaker 1: in too, and I took it. He was taken in 626 00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:51,360 Speaker 1: and still under warranty. Well, right, I understand that what 627 00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:53,160 Speaker 1: I'm what I'm but what I'm saying is I'm just 628 00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:56,040 Speaker 1: trying to establish is it a normal sound? Listen. I'm 629 00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:58,520 Speaker 1: not disparaging the good Year guy, just that if he's 630 00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:01,560 Speaker 1: not aware that this is a common issue with those engines. 631 00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:03,920 Speaker 1: You know, I wasn't aware of it until about ten 632 00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:06,120 Speaker 1: months ago when I first ran into it. But this 633 00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:09,760 Speaker 1: is a common sound, common noise that these vehicles have 634 00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:13,560 Speaker 1: as a result of the two injector system set up 635 00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:17,400 Speaker 1: that's on there, and it will it'll scare you. It's 636 00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:20,120 Speaker 1: it's it's allowed tick under the under the valve cover 637 00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:22,640 Speaker 1: area that you wonder what the heck is going on. 638 00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:25,680 Speaker 1: But you know, as the Toyota guys, they should be 639 00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:27,560 Speaker 1: able to answer that if they want to. You know, 640 00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:30,760 Speaker 1: they should have somebody intelligent that can explain it. But 641 00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:33,200 Speaker 1: it sounds like listen, it's one of two things. It's 642 00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:35,480 Speaker 1: either the engine's got a knock in it a legitimate noise, 643 00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:40,000 Speaker 1: or it's it's what I believe is probably gonna be 644 00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:43,160 Speaker 1: just normal sound because of the high pressure injector. But 645 00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:45,760 Speaker 1: they should have an explanation for that so that the 646 00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:54,640 Speaker 1: customer doesn't worry. So then by replacing the injector, normal sound. Wow, 647 00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:57,720 Speaker 1: ave never had to make in soon under the motor 648 00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:01,800 Speaker 1: with a hundreds Well, because you have five Toyotas that 649 00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:04,120 Speaker 1: didn't have g d I with this particular setup in it. 650 00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:07,160 Speaker 1: That's the issue. This is something new, you know. Yeah. 651 00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:09,800 Speaker 1: The the solution is the fixed for it is wait 652 00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:11,720 Speaker 1: till next year and buy a twenty two Toyota and 653 00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:14,240 Speaker 1: by then they'll probably have it figured out. Um you know, 654 00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:16,640 Speaker 1: will they make will they make a retrofit kit available 655 00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:20,520 Speaker 1: that that sells it on the older ones? Maybe? Um, 656 00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:22,760 Speaker 1: you know, maybe, but I I you know, listen, first 657 00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:24,160 Speaker 1: thing I want you to do Monday is I want 658 00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:27,120 Speaker 1: you to establish is this a normal sound? And will 659 00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:28,800 Speaker 1: they tell you that in writing? Because when it comes 660 00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:30,800 Speaker 1: apart in five thousand miles, I want you to hold 661 00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:32,200 Speaker 1: up your piece of paper and go, look what I 662 00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:37,080 Speaker 1: got right? Okay, you know I think that's a reasonable request. 663 00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:38,719 Speaker 1: But if they tell you no, it's it's not a 664 00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:44,360 Speaker 1: normal sound, okay, then fix it right, easy, peasy. Great. 665 00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:49,520 Speaker 1: I heard something about the condenser pack or condenser or 666 00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:53,520 Speaker 1: what was it called something about I knew it had 667 00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:56,640 Speaker 1: something to do with the injector, but they also said 668 00:32:56,720 --> 00:33:01,520 Speaker 1: some type of I want to see condenser or what 669 00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:05,880 Speaker 1: do you call it? E g R. Yeah, it wasn't. 670 00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:08,200 Speaker 1: It was the thing of it is when I listened 671 00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:10,640 Speaker 1: to it and the guy from Goodyear listened to it, 672 00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:13,480 Speaker 1: it was underneath it was not really didn't only it 673 00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:15,920 Speaker 1: was on top of the motor. I'll tell you what, Kurt, Kurt, 674 00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:17,440 Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. You gotta give me a shout 675 00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:19,200 Speaker 1: back next week. I'm running out of time, but you 676 00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:22,080 Speaker 1: do that and then we can kind of go from there. Uh, 677 00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:23,880 Speaker 1: you know, we can talk about it in depth. I'm 678 00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:25,800 Speaker 1: running any of the car doctor. We're back right after 679 00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:35,560 Speaker 1: this welcome back, So let's recap the hour. Let's think 680 00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:37,360 Speaker 1: about some of the calls we had this hour. You know, 681 00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:39,880 Speaker 1: some of the stuff was simple. Jeremy and Washington doing 682 00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:42,360 Speaker 1: his water pump, and I know Jeremy's listening and keep 683 00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:44,440 Speaker 1: on truck and brother, you'll finish it this afternoon and 684 00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:46,520 Speaker 1: it'll work really well. You're doing a great job. And 685 00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:49,240 Speaker 1: for christ and Colorado, I think Kristen Colorado is the 686 00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:51,959 Speaker 1: call that stands out in my mind. Right. You know, 687 00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:55,480 Speaker 1: he did this and it is a tough job doing 688 00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:57,680 Speaker 1: a timing belt or timing chain and a water pump 689 00:33:57,680 --> 00:34:00,200 Speaker 1: set up on that Ford Explorer. It is a it 690 00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:03,280 Speaker 1: is a bad design. It's it's it's difficult to do 691 00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:05,120 Speaker 1: in the vehicle. It's even more work if you pull 692 00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:07,120 Speaker 1: the engine out there. You know we have we have 693 00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:09,600 Speaker 1: done it where we will lift the body and put 694 00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:12,160 Speaker 1: the cradle on the ground. On certain years, Explorers, especially 695 00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:15,000 Speaker 1: if it's a turbocharged version, just gets to be a nightmare. 696 00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:21,080 Speaker 1: But look at the involvement and the precision necessary to 697 00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:23,279 Speaker 1: do the job, so you don't have to go back 698 00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:25,839 Speaker 1: and revisit it. Um. Even though I don't expect it, 699 00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:29,440 Speaker 1: I expect Chris to have a timing chain issue. It's 700 00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:31,400 Speaker 1: not something I wish upon him or anybody doing that. 701 00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:33,040 Speaker 1: You want to just do it once and walk away. 702 00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:34,960 Speaker 1: It's it just gets to be a pain in the 703 00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:38,640 Speaker 1: next So they're complicated. You know, what you thought was 704 00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:41,439 Speaker 1: simple because your dad told you twenty five years ago 705 00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:44,680 Speaker 1: doesn't apply anymore. What I tell you today may not 706 00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:47,960 Speaker 1: apply tomorrow. The car is evolving, but you gotta still 707 00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:51,040 Speaker 1: follow the same procedure step one through ten in order 708 00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:53,000 Speaker 1: to get it done right until the next time I'm 709 00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:55,120 Speaker 1: running any of the car. Doctor reminding each and every 710 00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:58,640 Speaker 1: one of you, good mechanics aren't expensive, they're priceless. Let's 711 00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:13,000 Speaker 1: see you. She was s
