Let me give 26 00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:17,280 Speaker 2: me where's the big book? 27 00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:17,479 Speaker 4: Here? 28 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:20,720 Speaker 2: The Complete Book of Dodge and Plymouth muscle Cars, every 29 00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,360 Speaker 2: model from nineteen sixty to today. And I have a theory, 30 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:26,240 Speaker 2: right you know, it's nobody wants their cars, so nobody 31 00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:27,880 Speaker 2: wants the book either. I mean, it's just you know, 32 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,360 Speaker 2: Chrysler's having some tough times right now. I gotta tell 33 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:32,680 Speaker 2: you it's like, oh yeah, yeah, but we are giving 34 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:35,880 Speaker 2: away the Complete Book of Dodge and Plymouth muscle Cars. 35 00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:38,399 Speaker 2: It's written by Mike Muller. We had actually had Mike 36 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:40,520 Speaker 2: on the show a couple of months back talking about this, 37 00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:43,280 Speaker 2: and it's a it's a gorgeous book. I mean, full 38 00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:46,640 Speaker 2: color pictures. It covers all the neat stuff sixties seventies, 39 00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:49,200 Speaker 2: the HEMI coodas, all the tradition of the three D threes, 40 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,960 Speaker 2: the multiple car options. You know, I remember that about Chrysler. 41 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:55,800 Speaker 2: Chrysler had so many multiple carbureted vehicles. Uh you know, 42 00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:59,240 Speaker 2: it was like just it was commonplace to see three 43 00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:02,600 Speaker 2: two barrels on four forty. Uh you know, just just 44 00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:07,320 Speaker 2: crazy stuff that Chrysler had, you know, just just wonderful. 45 00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:09,079 Speaker 2: What a time. But yeah, we've got that book. I 46 00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:10,440 Speaker 2: want to give that away today if I can. It's 47 00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:13,640 Speaker 2: it's the holidays, it's Christmas, it's Kwanza Etnica, it's you know, 48 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:15,840 Speaker 2: whatever you're celebrating. I want to, you know, send it 49 00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:18,120 Speaker 2: out to you. And we're cleaning out the gift closet. 50 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:19,400 Speaker 2: I was supposed to do this this year, but we've 51 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:23,000 Speaker 2: been busy. We're fixing cars. So but you had that thought. 52 00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,079 Speaker 2: Nobody wanted the book. Nobody wants their cars. By the way, 53 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:27,880 Speaker 2: research Kathy did some research over the over the between 54 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:30,480 Speaker 2: the Last Show, Last Hour and This Hour, and she 55 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:33,760 Speaker 2: told me that at one point for the last hundred years, 56 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:38,240 Speaker 2: Chrysler has discontinued twenty five models of cars and they 57 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:42,239 Speaker 2: currently only have two for the immediate future on sale. 58 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:47,079 Speaker 2: You know, the fuller brushman said, you can't, you can't, 59 00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:49,960 Speaker 2: you can't. You can't sell from an empty truck. So 60 00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:52,280 Speaker 2: somebody's got a you know, like you got to have 61 00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:54,840 Speaker 2: something to sell in order to sell it. Before I 62 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,720 Speaker 2: go to the phones, Tom has a question for me. Now, 63 00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:01,040 Speaker 2: Tom doesn't ask me a lot of questions, So I 64 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 2: want to take this serious. Tom. Tom hasn't a question. 65 00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 2: Tom Ray wants my opinion about something. This is momentous. 66 00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:12,080 Speaker 5: Go ahead, Tom, Actually, my daughter The doctor wants your opinion. 67 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:14,760 Speaker 5: He wants to know what you think of all these 68 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:19,359 Speaker 5: cars driving around all decked out in Christmas lights. 69 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:23,240 Speaker 2: I think it's ridiculous. Listen. I'm not a scrooge, okay, 70 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 2: but you know, from a safety perspective, I think I 71 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,840 Speaker 2: think it's a problem because some of them get ridiculous. 72 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:34,960 Speaker 2: Some of them have you know, try servicing them. You know, 73 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 2: they've got lights and wreaths. I love the wreaths in 74 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 2: front of the radiators, and you know it's it's you know, people, 75 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 2: there's an airflow problem there. Thank god, Christmas comes when 76 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:47,800 Speaker 2: it's cold. You hang this reef in front of the radiator. 77 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 2: If you did that in July, you know the car 78 00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 2: is going to overheat. You're gonna upset something. It's it's 79 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:55,160 Speaker 2: a very delicate balance, the way cooling systems work. I 80 00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:57,760 Speaker 2: don't think it's necessary. You know, you want to celebrate 81 00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 2: the holidays, put a decal on your car, but all 82 00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 2: these lights, and I've seen some of these cars the 83 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:08,240 Speaker 2: way the lights are wired up, and you know it's 84 00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:10,839 Speaker 2: one guy I saw. I remember a couple of years back. 85 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 2: He had tied into the fuse box and he had 86 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,000 Speaker 2: things scotch taped together, and I was like, oh boy, 87 00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:18,680 Speaker 2: what could go wrong with this? So, yeah, I don't 88 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:20,960 Speaker 2: I'm not a fan of it. I think there's a limit. 89 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:25,000 Speaker 2: I think also from a safety hazard and a general distraction. 90 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 2: I think those lights are a real issue by law, 91 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:30,800 Speaker 2: and I believe this to be true. And maybe if 92 00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:33,280 Speaker 2: we have any law enforcement people out there, they can 93 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,039 Speaker 2: let us know. But I think by law, the only 94 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,719 Speaker 2: lights that you're allowed to have on the vehicle or factory. 95 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:42,479 Speaker 2: So if you're displaying colored lights, not to be a 96 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:46,720 Speaker 2: grinch or a scrooge, but technically that's illegal. Emergency vehicles 97 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:48,960 Speaker 2: only can display different colored lights on a vehicle, and 98 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,160 Speaker 2: I think that's in every state across the country. 99 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:53,640 Speaker 5: You know, I saw one yesterday. It was a Honda. 100 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:55,600 Speaker 5: I mean the Honda itself was a piece of junk, 101 00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:57,839 Speaker 5: and it was kind of a kind of an off, 102 00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:01,640 Speaker 5: dusty blue. This thing, I mean, ron every square inch 103 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,479 Speaker 5: had a light on it and this guy was using 104 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:06,560 Speaker 5: pieces of duct tape to hold it on. It looked 105 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,880 Speaker 5: absolutely ridiculous. Of course I saw it during the day. 106 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:13,640 Speaker 2: Right, Well, now, what happens when he's driving along? See, 107 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:15,239 Speaker 2: this is the question I always get into what happens 108 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:17,440 Speaker 2: when you're driving along and some of the bulbs or 109 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 2: that string of bulbs falls on the road and you 110 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:23,719 Speaker 2: run over it. I want to know if you get 111 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,640 Speaker 2: into an accident and you hit somebody with Christmas lights 112 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:30,039 Speaker 2: all over their car, and somebody is dumb enough to 113 00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:32,080 Speaker 2: invest I don't know. I bet you people could spend 114 00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:34,839 Speaker 2: a thousand bucks on Christmas lights. I've seen it on houses. 115 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:36,720 Speaker 2: So if they put all these lights on the car, 116 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:40,560 Speaker 2: are you responsible for to replace the lights on the vehicle? 117 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 2: That's an insurance question, right, are you responsible to replace 118 00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:45,039 Speaker 2: the lights on the vehicle since they weren't factory and 119 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:48,080 Speaker 2: they were add on? I don't get it. You know what, 120 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:50,919 Speaker 2: celebrate the holidays at home, don't take it out on 121 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:54,240 Speaker 2: the road. It present. It's tough enough driving, you know. 122 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,599 Speaker 2: This is like that question about life when things go bad. 123 00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:58,360 Speaker 2: Life is hard enough when things are right, Just leave 124 00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:02,000 Speaker 2: everything else alone. Day isn't driving or tough enough without 125 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,760 Speaker 2: anybody being an idiot, So let's call it what it is. 126 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,160 Speaker 2: Just keep the lights off the cart. Not to insault anybody, 127 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:09,080 Speaker 2: but you know, keep the lights off the cart. It's 128 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:11,400 Speaker 2: a safety hazard. It makes it hard for the mechanics 129 00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 2: to work on it, and if they fall off and 130 00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:18,640 Speaker 2: somebody runs over the lights, you know, it creates a 131 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:22,200 Speaker 2: violation out on the road. So okay, I said it. 132 00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 2: I'll probably get banned. This is it, this is our 133 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:27,240 Speaker 2: last show. Tom. Let's go to pull in Tennessee. Quick 134 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:29,520 Speaker 2: before they take me off the air, Paul quick, ask 135 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:30,080 Speaker 2: me a question. 136 00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:34,159 Speaker 4: Hey, Ron, thanks thanks for colling. Hey, I've got a 137 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:37,840 Speaker 4: twenty sixteen Ford f one fifty. It's got the King 138 00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,920 Speaker 4: Ranch package on a three point five liter Eco Booze. Right, 139 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,600 Speaker 4: it's four by four, have one hundred and forty thousand 140 00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:48,000 Speaker 4: miles on it. At at low rpm fifteen hundred and 141 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 4: twenty five hundred and under a high low typically going 142 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:54,480 Speaker 4: up a hill, have this intermitute feel like it's going 143 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,960 Speaker 4: over a rumble strip. Okay, I went off the gas 144 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:01,800 Speaker 4: and stops. Go over, get over a hill and let 145 00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:05,200 Speaker 4: off and it doesn't do it. It seems like it's 146 00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:08,279 Speaker 4: getting worse. It does it. But I can manually shift 147 00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:09,520 Speaker 4: it to fifth and sixth. 148 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:10,559 Speaker 2: Gear and it goes away. 149 00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:13,800 Speaker 4: And uh, well, fifth gear it was going away from 150 00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:17,200 Speaker 4: holmets coming in there. If I shift down to fourth, 151 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:20,000 Speaker 4: it goes away. But it's again, I'm jacking the RPMs 152 00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:23,760 Speaker 4: uh right, and I drive the same road pretty much 153 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:27,040 Speaker 4: every day, and it's it's getting worse in the same spots. 154 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:31,160 Speaker 2: Eight eight speed, nine speed, ten speed, what trends? 155 00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:31,800 Speaker 4: Six speed? 156 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 2: Six speed? Okay, you know it's it's it's probably torque converter, 157 00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:44,240 Speaker 2: all right, Any check engine light, any dashboard lights, no, okay, 158 00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:51,120 Speaker 2: So it's probably torque converter shutter, you know, which would 159 00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,480 Speaker 2: make sense. What you could try is the next time 160 00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:56,440 Speaker 2: it does it, leave it and drive and gently while 161 00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:58,920 Speaker 2: you're applying the guests and you know you're driving into 162 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:02,440 Speaker 2: the rumble, So does speak, tap the break, tap the 163 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:06,360 Speaker 2: brake pedal, does it go away, tap the brake pedal 164 00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:09,520 Speaker 2: hard enough to turn on the brake lights. And if 165 00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:13,080 Speaker 2: it goes away, watch the tack because you'll see the 166 00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:17,040 Speaker 2: tack change. And what that's telling us is you're taking 167 00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:20,400 Speaker 2: it out of lock up putting it into the next 168 00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:23,160 Speaker 2: lower gear. Could lock up occurs in more than just 169 00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:28,240 Speaker 2: top gear on that trends, and you'll know it's converter. 170 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:33,360 Speaker 2: Now at a buck forty at this age, it's eight 171 00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:37,720 Speaker 2: years old, it's probably it's probably headed for a trans 172 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,480 Speaker 2: I you know, if somebody could prove to me that 173 00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:44,600 Speaker 2: it's only the converter, I still I still wouldn't do 174 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:47,960 Speaker 2: just a converter. You know, I've seen it. They'll do 175 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,400 Speaker 2: just a converter, and then they'll get another forty thousand 176 00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:52,080 Speaker 2: miles out of the unit. And then now it's got 177 00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:54,520 Speaker 2: one eighty two hundred thousand on it, and they got 178 00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:55,760 Speaker 2: to go through all the labor to pull the thing 179 00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:58,640 Speaker 2: back out again.

A friend of mine's a GM 301 00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:37,320 Speaker 6: with one of those dealers that has multiple stores and brands. 302 00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:42,120 Speaker 6: The Dodge Charger, the Challenger and the Crisis three hundred 303 00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:45,680 Speaker 6: were not bad sellers. The thing was, the federal government 304 00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:52,720 Speaker 6: gave Chrysler a load of money to manufacture manufacturer electric cars, 305 00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:56,680 Speaker 6: and it was sort of like the government bribes. So 306 00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:58,920 Speaker 6: they said, oh, we want we're giving you all this money. 307 00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:00,880 Speaker 6: We want you to do this. Chyst are cut down 308 00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:04,640 Speaker 6: to too minivans and you know they're rammed the Ram 309 00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:08,400 Speaker 6: division and their jeeps. But it was really it was 310 00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:11,520 Speaker 6: the government said this is what we want. We want you, 311 00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:14,440 Speaker 6: here's money, we want you to build these electric cars. 312 00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:17,360 Speaker 6: And now Chrysler said okay, yeah. 313 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:19,640 Speaker 2: And now they can't sell these electric cars. My guys 314 00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:22,320 Speaker 2: at the local jeep dealership I work with tell me 315 00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:25,240 Speaker 2: they have row upon row upon row of electric jeep 316 00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:27,000 Speaker 2: wranglers that they can't give away. 317 00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:29,960 Speaker 6: And well that's what that's what Chrysler did because they 318 00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:31,760 Speaker 6: also you know, as you know, they have jeeps. So 319 00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:34,440 Speaker 6: the government paid them and they just they took the 320 00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:37,720 Speaker 6: money and said, okay, right, because the government wanted mandates 321 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:40,000 Speaker 6: and they weren't realistic. And this is what happened. 322 00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:40,280 Speaker 4: Yep. 323 00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:44,120 Speaker 6: So interesting, and Ford and Ford did something similar, you 324 00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:44,960 Speaker 6: know with their cars. 325 00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:48,680 Speaker 2: Well, because I think people want to dance.

Is this common 336 00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:23,360 Speaker 6: that they do go over time, because I've sure for 337 00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:23,920 Speaker 6: faced this. 338 00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:26,560 Speaker 2: Sure they just all that's in there is like a 339 00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:28,600 Speaker 2: thirty two set, was it a thirty two seventy two 340 00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:32,080 Speaker 2: little silver oxide battery. It's just a little battery that's 341 00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:34,120 Speaker 2: built in. I mean, you can't change it. It's it's 342 00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:36,800 Speaker 2: built in in part of the sensor as they manufacture it. 343 00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:39,360 Speaker 2: But all it is is just a little battery in 344 00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:42,160 Speaker 2: their brother and over time it will start to corrode 345 00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:47,120 Speaker 2: and leak and either and fall. You know where they 346 00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:49,680 Speaker 2: stop where they stop working. What what I would tell 347 00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:51,600 Speaker 2: you to do is you know what we or what 348 00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:53,920 Speaker 2: we typically do with the shop, not the first set 349 00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:56,640 Speaker 2: of tires, but that second set of tires when the 350 00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:59,000 Speaker 2: vehicle is six going on seven or seven going on 351 00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:02,200 Speaker 2: eight years old. Listen, we always give the customer the 352 00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:04,160 Speaker 2: option just let's put four sensors in it. Let's get 353 00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:08,639 Speaker 2: it over with now, because it's it's cheaper at that 354 00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:11,720 Speaker 2: point because now you've got to pay labor to break 355 00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:15,280 Speaker 2: the tire down, put the sensor in, program it, and 356 00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:17,640 Speaker 2: then rebalance it and reput it and reinstall it back 357 00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:20,560 Speaker 2: on the car. So it's it's more working. 358 00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:23,679 Speaker 6: Because when I bought the second set of tires the 359 00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:26,000 Speaker 6: first time they do it in they just been this 360 00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:29,480 Speaker 6: time it was like ninety bucks, right, And this is 361 00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:31,720 Speaker 6: a tire place. It's very reasonable. It's a mom in 362 00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:36,400 Speaker 6: top business. It's been around since yepyormable place and they've 363 00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:37,159 Speaker 6: done things for me. 364 00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:37,680 Speaker 4: You know though. 365 00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:41,200 Speaker 6: It'll fix anybody brings in a car with a nail 366 00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:44,400 Speaker 6: them to tire, no charge pretty much for everybody. That's 367 00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:44,960 Speaker 6: how they build. 368 00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:47,200 Speaker 2: Well, tell you what we we We love the fact 369 00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:49,400 Speaker 2: that you're such a loyal listener and it's the holidays 370 00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:51,879 Speaker 2: and you you you show up all the time and 371 00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:54,040 Speaker 2: you're here giving us some great information. So you stay 372 00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:56,320 Speaker 2: on the line and Tom's gonna get your name and 373 00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:58,240 Speaker 2: address and we're going to send you out the complete 374 00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:00,000 Speaker 2: book of Dodge and Plymouth. You can go show you 375 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,400 Speaker 2: buddy the GM at the Chrysler dealer what Chrysler used 376 00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:05,160 Speaker 2: to sell, what they used to make, and maybe it'll 377 00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:08,040 Speaker 2: brighten his holidays too. So that's coming your way by. 378 00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:11,920 Speaker 2: You're very welcome, sir. We appreciate you and your continued 379 00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:14,920 Speaker 2: loyalty to this show and just trying to give everybody 380 00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:18,160 Speaker 2: good solid information. Very very well recognized. I'm running ady 381 00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:18,520 Speaker 2: in the car. 382 00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:18,879 Speaker 3: Doctor. 383 00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:20,239 Speaker 2: I'll be back right after this. 384 00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:42,440 Speaker 3: Don't go away. 385 00:18:56,680 --> 00:19:01,400 Speaker 2: Hey, let's let's do some emails and some of these conversations. Ron, 386 00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:02,920 Speaker 2: do you know if a scanner? How do you know 387 00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:04,960 Speaker 2: if a scanner has most six capabilities? This comes to 388 00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:08,240 Speaker 2: us from Bill. Actually it says George on the email, 389 00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:10,000 Speaker 2: but it says Bill and the thanks Bill, So we'll 390 00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:11,760 Speaker 2: go with Bill. Bill, how don't know if it has 391 00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:14,679 Speaker 2: most six capabilities? Thanks? Any suggestions? Take a look at 392 00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:17,840 Speaker 2: the gear wrench line. All right, we've been kicking a 393 00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:20,040 Speaker 2: gear wrench scanner around the shop now for a couple 394 00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:22,639 Speaker 2: of weeks. Haven't had a whole lot of time with it, 395 00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:25,879 Speaker 2: but we're just getting started and I like what I see. 396 00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:29,640 Speaker 2: It's cost effective and the one we're looking at does 397 00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:31,520 Speaker 2: have Mode six in it. Now, keep in mind Mode 398 00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:34,280 Speaker 2: six ability. Let's talk about MOT six for a minute. 399 00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:40,840 Speaker 2: Mode six is a diagnostic mode that is part of 400 00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:44,320 Speaker 2: OBD two on board Diagnostics two. All right, it's not 401 00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:49,560 Speaker 2: scan tool created. It is OBD two software created. It 402 00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:52,480 Speaker 2: comes out of the vehicle as per the manufacturer, as 403 00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:55,240 Speaker 2: per the federal government that makes the manufacturer put it 404 00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:58,000 Speaker 2: in the vehicle for emissions under the EPA Clean Air 405 00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:01,840 Speaker 2: Act of ninety one. So that being said, not every 406 00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:05,640 Speaker 2: scan tool has that ability, but it will be listed 407 00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:09,800 Speaker 2: in the scan tool's specification sheet. Do I think you 408 00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:12,080 Speaker 2: need Mode six capability? 409 00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:12,480 Speaker 4: Yeah? 410 00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:15,359 Speaker 2: I think. I think trying to diagnose the car without 411 00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:17,960 Speaker 2: Mode six would be like trying to take blood pressure, 412 00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:22,000 Speaker 2: a blood pressure test using a stethoscope but nothing around 413 00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:23,720 Speaker 2: the guy's wrist. I mean, it's just not going to work. 414 00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:25,639 Speaker 2: It just it's just it's an awful long way to 415 00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:27,960 Speaker 2: do it. Sure, you can put your index finger on 416 00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:29,919 Speaker 2: top of the person's pulse and read the pulse, but 417 00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:34,480 Speaker 2: you know what, the Mode six capability and the wrist couplet, 418 00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:36,400 Speaker 2: sure it makes life a lot easier when you're doing 419 00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:39,520 Speaker 2: blood pressure and diagnosing vehicles. So I think mode six 420 00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:42,359 Speaker 2: is a mandatory type of thing because everything is scan 421 00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:47,879 Speaker 2: tool based today, everything, and this is a problem. So 422 00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:51,000 Speaker 2: you know, Yeah, Bill Gearrech, I think you'll find it. 423 00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:53,960 Speaker 2: Just go Google search gear inch scan tool, and I 424 00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:57,399 Speaker 2: think you'll find it. To my point, right, see I 425 00:20:57,400 --> 00:20:59,200 Speaker 2: did this. It's almost like I know what I'm doing. See, 426 00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:02,600 Speaker 2: I'm gonna segway into this next conversation here. I wanted 427 00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:04,840 Speaker 2: to read about Bill's question about scan tools and Mote 428 00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:07,760 Speaker 2: six because I wanted to tell you this. This is 429 00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:09,920 Speaker 2: out of all data. Go to alldata dot com. It's 430 00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:12,400 Speaker 2: a tech tip. All data is up on their website. 431 00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:14,679 Speaker 2: This month they've got and you can get to this. 432 00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:15,679 Speaker 2: Anybody can get. 433 00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:16,000 Speaker 4: To this right. 434 00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:18,119 Speaker 2: This is on the free side of things, the no 435 00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:21,919 Speaker 2: cost side of things. They will show you their you know, 436 00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:25,560 Speaker 2: highest tracked tech articles this year, and I thought this 437 00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:27,520 Speaker 2: was kind of neat. So the one I found was 438 00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:32,720 Speaker 2: really interesting. Silverado front passenger window inoperative twenty fifteen Chevy 439 00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:36,240 Speaker 2: Silverado fifteen hundred and four wheel drive. The owner brought 440 00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:39,679 Speaker 2: a Silverado into a shop because the passenger window stopped working. 441 00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:42,240 Speaker 2: He said that the window had stuck about halfway down, 442 00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:45,119 Speaker 2: but then went back up after closing and opening the 443 00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:50,920 Speaker 2: door a few times. So, you know, I go back 444 00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:53,760 Speaker 2: to the days of hand crank windows like many of you, 445 00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:55,640 Speaker 2: you know, wasn't it simple? Then you want to open 446 00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:58,080 Speaker 2: the window, I want to close the windows, you know, 447 00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:01,520 Speaker 2: hand crank it. And then we created power windows and 448 00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:04,439 Speaker 2: a little electric motor and a switch and push the 449 00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:06,119 Speaker 2: button this way it goes up, push the button that 450 00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:10,480 Speaker 2: way it goes down. Then computers got involved, So the 451 00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:13,959 Speaker 2: technician connected a scan tool to this twenty fifteen Silverado, 452 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:16,919 Speaker 2: which is the right thing to do. Now, you notice 453 00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:19,679 Speaker 2: this is not a check engine light related issue, and 454 00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:23,200 Speaker 2: we're talking about using a scan tool to fix a car. 455 00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:27,080 Speaker 2: The technician connected the scan tool and pulled the following 456 00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:31,720 Speaker 2: trouble codes. A B as in Baker thirteen eighty double 457 00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:35,679 Speaker 2: dash O four, A U zero four twenty two, and 458 00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:39,600 Speaker 2: A U one fifty three. A is an apple. Now 459 00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:44,719 Speaker 2: these ranging possibilities from a control module ignition accessory circuit 460 00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:48,080 Speaker 2: fault to invalid data, from a body module to a 461 00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:52,119 Speaker 2: body control module losing communication. What this is saying is 462 00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:56,760 Speaker 2: one of the online computers lost communication with the rest 463 00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:58,920 Speaker 2: of the system, and the system couldn't talk to it 464 00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:04,800 Speaker 2: and it saw a specific problem in the network outside 465 00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:09,680 Speaker 2: of that module, that particular module. So we've got computer 466 00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:14,560 Speaker 2: faults affecting how a power window operates. Kind of neat, right. 467 00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:19,560 Speaker 2: The technician did a little further looking and diagnosing. He 468 00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:22,280 Speaker 2: looked at fused as he looked, you know, at wiring. 469 00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:24,400 Speaker 2: He didn't see anything. He called up all Data Tech 470 00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:28,360 Speaker 2: assist because all data offers tech assist for their you know, 471 00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:32,480 Speaker 2: for their customers, and it seemed that tech assists had 472 00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:36,360 Speaker 2: seen this problem before, and they suggested that he go, 473 00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:40,480 Speaker 2: the technician go look at the wiring inside the door 474 00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:44,359 Speaker 2: of the driver's side. So he pulled the door panel 475 00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:45,960 Speaker 2: for the driver's side, he pulled the door panel for 476 00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:49,399 Speaker 2: the passenger side. That was their second suggestion, and sure enough, 477 00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:52,840 Speaker 2: at one of the multi wire connectors inside the doors, 478 00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:58,640 Speaker 2: he found damaged wiring harnesses from moisture. The bigger problem, 479 00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:01,800 Speaker 2: and this is the interesting part. The bigger problem was 480 00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:05,800 Speaker 2: on the driver's side. He had to repair multiple wires 481 00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:07,719 Speaker 2: on the passenger door. He only had to repair two 482 00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:11,399 Speaker 2: wires to two pins in the connector. And my point 483 00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:14,320 Speaker 2: becomes and then everything worked right, you know. They go 484 00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:15,840 Speaker 2: on to say that the tech repair of the harness 485 00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:19,399 Speaker 2: connected terminals cleared the codes and after the after the repairs, 486 00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:21,000 Speaker 2: the passenger window operated normally. 487 00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:21,520 Speaker 3: It's fixed. 488 00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:27,359 Speaker 2: My point is that look at the complexity of the vehicle, 489 00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:31,200 Speaker 2: look at what's involved. So you know, everybody out there 490 00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:32,760 Speaker 2: that's now, I don't want to diagnose this. It's too 491 00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:34,760 Speaker 2: much money. I'm just going to start changing parts. You'd 492 00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:36,600 Speaker 2: be changing all you'd be changing a lot of power 493 00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:40,880 Speaker 2: window motors before you found this. And you know, it's 494 00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:42,880 Speaker 2: it's just necessary. You've got to have a scan tool, 495 00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:44,720 Speaker 2: got to do it, got to use it. 496 00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:46,000 Speaker 3: It's it's it's. 497 00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:48,920 Speaker 2: Just fast becoming. Well here there was another one, right, 498 00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:51,120 Speaker 2: there was another one that they talk about up there. 499 00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:53,719 Speaker 2: And again you got to all Data dot Com and 500 00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:56,239 Speaker 2: just go look under resources and you scroll down all 501 00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:58,800 Speaker 2: thatta news or it'll say, you know, the most commonly 502 00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:02,280 Speaker 2: picked up articles this month, this year, what's been clicked on? 503 00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:06,119 Speaker 2: Twenty twenty Chevy Silverado thirty five hundred. The owner. The 504 00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:08,360 Speaker 2: owner brought the vehicle to a shop because the check 505 00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:11,199 Speaker 2: engine light was on. There was no driveability complaints. The 506 00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:12,840 Speaker 2: owner said, hey, it's a fleet truck. I just had 507 00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:15,000 Speaker 2: the oil chains while I was out of town. The 508 00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:19,000 Speaker 2: technician connected a scan tool and found a P zero 509 00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:24,600 Speaker 2: six dun Lap Baker engine oil pressure control solenoid voltage low. 510 00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:29,480 Speaker 2: The technician went through the usual customary results, went through 511 00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:34,000 Speaker 2: the flow chart, got nowhere. All Data Techa suggested diagnosing 512 00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:36,639 Speaker 2: by making sure the out of town oil chains was 513 00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:40,920 Speaker 2: performed with the correct viscosity and factory filter. You See 514 00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:43,680 Speaker 2: that's something else we never really talk about here because 515 00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:48,520 Speaker 2: I just assume everybody's doing it right. But vehicles require 516 00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:52,760 Speaker 2: correct viscosity, and if it's wrong, the thickness of the 517 00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:57,359 Speaker 2: oil and a poor quality filter will actually set a 518 00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:00,399 Speaker 2: fault code on a lot of vehicles today. Now you 519 00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:03,840 Speaker 2: may ask yourself why is that. Well, in the case 520 00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:09,200 Speaker 2: of certain vehicles, they're doing different things now, not necessarily 521 00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:11,919 Speaker 2: on this six point six liter thirty five hundred, but 522 00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:15,160 Speaker 2: on a smaller generation, on a five point three liter 523 00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:18,520 Speaker 2: GM motor, they're doing active fuel control or active fuel 524 00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:21,600 Speaker 2: management where they're dropping cylinders. They're making the V eight 525 00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:25,640 Speaker 2: run on six cylinders to you for better fuel economy 526 00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:30,639 Speaker 2: and lower emissions and that whole deal. So Audo repair 527 00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:33,800 Speaker 2: is very specific. That's your walk away, all right as 528 00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:36,240 Speaker 2: we pull over for this pause. But auder repair is 529 00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:40,480 Speaker 2: very specific. And the things that you have to go through, 530 00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:42,640 Speaker 2: the hoops that you have to jump through in order 531 00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:44,959 Speaker 2: to get it done and done properly and not go 532 00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:48,159 Speaker 2: down the dark path are getting much more extreme. And 533 00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:51,879 Speaker 2: the specificity of things, I think that's a word, the 534 00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:55,040 Speaker 2: specificity of things is really becoming stringent. 535 00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:56,639 Speaker 3: Good way to look at it. 536 00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:58,000 Speaker 2: So let me pull over to take the pause. Eight 537 00:26:58,040 --> 00:26:59,320 Speaker 2: five to five. I don't think I've given the phone 538 00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:02,360 Speaker 2: number out today. Eight five five five six zero nine 539 00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:05,120 Speaker 2: nine zero zero eight five five five six zero nine 540 00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:06,960 Speaker 2: nine zero zero. I'm running aiding in the car. Doctor. 541 00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:24,760 Speaker 2: I'll be back right after this. Hey, here's one from 542 00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:29,880 Speaker 2: the shop this week research Kathy's trailblazer broke her two 543 00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:33,280 Speaker 2: trailblazer and she's in the process of looking for another vehicle. 544 00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:35,040 Speaker 2: But she's going through the g I want something as 545 00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:38,879 Speaker 2: big thing because she likes it big and in the 546 00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:41,080 Speaker 2: way of a vehicle, and you know, she's just trying 547 00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:43,480 Speaker 2: to make sure she's not in a small vehicle. So 548 00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:50,840 Speaker 2: you know, trans cooler lines were leaking, and they were 549 00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:53,560 Speaker 2: the fittings go into the radiator itself. It was dry. 550 00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:56,399 Speaker 2: It was the O rings that are inside the fitting. 551 00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:02,000 Speaker 2: Now I found the right fittings. They were available in Dorman, 552 00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:05,400 Speaker 2: but unfortunately nobody had them, and this was turning into 553 00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:08,199 Speaker 2: quite a mess. I was able to get I was 554 00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:11,400 Speaker 2: able to get I was able to get the fittings 555 00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:15,840 Speaker 2: in Dorman with the incorrect thread size that screwed into 556 00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:18,879 Speaker 2: the radiator. But the O ring was right. If you 557 00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:20,400 Speaker 2: watch what I'm saying. Because I thought about it, I said, 558 00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:24,760 Speaker 2: how can I fix this vehicle today? Well, for whatever reason, 559 00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:28,720 Speaker 2: this vehicle had the weird option of this size transcooler fitting, 560 00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:32,160 Speaker 2: not the other size transcooler fitting. But the O ring 561 00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:34,480 Speaker 2: that they put in there was the same, was correct. 562 00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:39,920 Speaker 2: So I took the wrong Dorman fitting. I have to 563 00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:44,160 Speaker 2: say this carefully. I took the wrong Dorman fitting, gently 564 00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:48,000 Speaker 2: picked out the O ring made for it, took the tired, 565 00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:52,440 Speaker 2: worn out O ring out of the factory radiator fitting, 566 00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:55,600 Speaker 2: and just simply swamped O rings back and forth. Because 567 00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:59,080 Speaker 2: I thought about it right, The fitting itself was intact. 568 00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:02,440 Speaker 2: It was the O ring that worn out, and Dorman 569 00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:04,680 Speaker 2: did such a great job of assembling that fitting with 570 00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:07,200 Speaker 2: eight with a slightly oversized over ring too. By the way, 571 00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:09,480 Speaker 2: I got to point out, which I think was intentional, 572 00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:11,120 Speaker 2: because I think they were allowing for where on the 573 00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:13,600 Speaker 2: line that I was able to put the dormant O 574 00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:18,000 Speaker 2: ring into the factory fitting and it worked. Cars done 575 00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:21,520 Speaker 2: down the road, and the point becomes, you know, sometimes 576 00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:23,880 Speaker 2: it's a simple, well it's a complicated repair that you 577 00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:25,360 Speaker 2: hope that you're trying to make simple. And the answer 578 00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:27,320 Speaker 2: is right in front of you, because I'm looking at 579 00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:28,880 Speaker 2: it for fifteen minutes, going, how am I going to 580 00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:31,239 Speaker 2: make this work? You know, I need this, but I 581 00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:33,520 Speaker 2: have that. And then I realized the diameter of the 582 00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:36,160 Speaker 2: line that goes into the fitting is the same, so 583 00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:38,160 Speaker 2: the O ring has to be the same. And sure enough, 584 00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:40,520 Speaker 2: when I measured it up, allowing for a little bit 585 00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:42,520 Speaker 2: of shrinkage and where over the years, because it's twenty 586 00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:46,760 Speaker 2: two years old, it worked. So you know, kudos to Dorman. 587 00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:49,960 Speaker 2: They build me out once again. You know, we don't 588 00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:52,480 Speaker 2: have to use every part of every part. We can 589 00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:55,120 Speaker 2: just take pieces of every part to make it work. 590 00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:57,560 Speaker 2: And Kathy's back on the road if that's possible. And 591 00:29:57,600 --> 00:29:58,960 Speaker 2: she said, well, she's back on the road and she's 592 00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:04,120 Speaker 2: happy if that's possible. So anyway, research Kathy's story from 593 00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:06,480 Speaker 2: the shop. Hey, Ron, I appreciate your feedback. This comes 594 00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:08,640 Speaker 2: to us from John. I appreciate your feedback and in 595 00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:13,200 Speaker 2: depth conversation for technician and service managers and people all together. 596 00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:16,880 Speaker 2: Once my repairs completed, I'll definitely arrange for annual transflushes. 597 00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:19,360 Speaker 2: This was in regards to I had emailed John or 598 00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:22,600 Speaker 2: spoken to him about you know, servicing the transmission in 599 00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:25,360 Speaker 2: his Chevy Solerado his late Monel Silver Road. He says, 600 00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:27,800 Speaker 2: do you have any comments on why my ninety nine 601 00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:31,200 Speaker 2: Chevy vehicle GM vehicle would be so durable versus today's products, 602 00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:33,640 Speaker 2: and why General Motors wouldn't continue to produce the three 603 00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:35,600 Speaker 2: fifty short block. I listened to your show Saturday and 604 00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:38,200 Speaker 2: loved the wills and wisdom you and part so generously. 605 00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:41,840 Speaker 2: Thanks John, I appreciate that. I really do, you know. 606 00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:49,280 Speaker 2: I think vehicle manufacturers create things, decisions get made, and 607 00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:52,520 Speaker 2: create these decisions at a level that we can't understand, 608 00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:55,920 Speaker 2: you know, much like if the federal government every broke 609 00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:58,280 Speaker 2: down and told us about UFOs. They make these decisions 610 00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:00,240 Speaker 2: about why they keep it a secret for reasons we 611 00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:03,160 Speaker 2: probably could understand. As crazy as that sounds. But I 612 00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:07,520 Speaker 2: think GM not designing vehicles the way they were. You know, 613 00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:09,640 Speaker 2: they've got their reasons. It comes down to dollars. It 614 00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:12,400 Speaker 2: probably comes down to how cheap can they make it elsewhere? 615 00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:15,720 Speaker 2: Because they produce things in such high volume, they produce things. 616 00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:18,440 Speaker 2: Think about all the small block Chevies that have produced 617 00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:21,880 Speaker 2: over time, all the camshafts and bearings and pistons, and 618 00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:25,160 Speaker 2: connecting rods and all the things that are manufactured. And 619 00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:29,360 Speaker 2: if they found a facility in China that would produce 620 00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:33,040 Speaker 2: it for two cents cheaper per component, multiply that by 621 00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:36,560 Speaker 2: how many hundreds of thousands of components are made, and 622 00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:38,920 Speaker 2: all of a sudden they're making an extra three million 623 00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:41,240 Speaker 2: dollars or whatever the magic number is. So I think 624 00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:42,800 Speaker 2: the answer is why don't they make the three fifty 625 00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:47,560 Speaker 2: Chevy anymore production cost? I think they've found cheaper and 626 00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:52,520 Speaker 2: more effective ways to manufacture things and to make and 627 00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:56,360 Speaker 2: allow engines to meet a mission demands and requirements, and 628 00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:58,400 Speaker 2: you know, it just becomes a case of hey, we 629 00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:00,560 Speaker 2: can do this quicker, cheaper and faster to us their 630 00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:04,760 Speaker 2: cars to the manufacturer. They're just transportation devices that they 631 00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:07,840 Speaker 2: know eventually are going to get recycled and scrapped and 632 00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:10,200 Speaker 2: where it's gonna go buy new cars. It's all about, 633 00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:13,040 Speaker 2: you know. It's it's it's like buying a new pair 634 00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:15,840 Speaker 2: of jeans every two years. You know, sooner or later 635 00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:17,760 Speaker 2: they know you're going to recycle it and have to 636 00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:22,520 Speaker 2: replace it with something else. So, you know, manufacturers just 637 00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:25,120 Speaker 2: think differently than I think everyday people. If I can 638 00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:28,000 Speaker 2: say it that way and be politically correct. But in 639 00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:30,840 Speaker 2: any event, aight, five, five, five, six, nine nine zero zero. 640 00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:32,680 Speaker 2: I hope that answers it for you. John, Yes, And 641 00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:34,960 Speaker 2: he wrote last email, I promise I have It's okay, John, 642 00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:37,240 Speaker 2: email me anything you want. I'm running ady in the car. 643 00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:37,560 Speaker 4: Doctor. 644 00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:53,720 Speaker 2: I'll be back right after this. And let's see, let's 645 00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:55,960 Speaker 2: kind of wrap up we having to lose sens this hour. Yeah, 646 00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:58,800 Speaker 2: you know what. Officer Bob from the New Jersey State 647 00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:02,240 Speaker 2: Police wrote in and he said, hey, and respond to 648 00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:05,240 Speaker 2: the Christmas light conversation. So he said, in New Jersey, 649 00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:08,680 Speaker 2: you are only allowed white lights in the front and 650 00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:10,600 Speaker 2: red and yellow in the rear. You may or may 651 00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:13,440 Speaker 2: not get a ticket, depending upon the officer, but that is, 652 00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:16,000 Speaker 2: you know, that's up to the officer's discretion. But state 653 00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:19,040 Speaker 2: law says in New Jersey that you can only have 654 00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:20,640 Speaker 2: white lights in the front of a vehicle. So if 655 00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:23,040 Speaker 2: you're putting colored Christmas lights across the front of your vehicle, 656 00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:25,320 Speaker 2: you may be subject to a fine and ticket and points, 657 00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:28,520 Speaker 2: And which kind of makes sense when you think about it, 658 00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:32,080 Speaker 2: you know, so maybe it's maybe it's not such a 659 00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:35,880 Speaker 2: great idea to be lighting things up like that at 660 00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:38,840 Speaker 2: that level. You know, yeah, just just not what you 661 00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:41,360 Speaker 2: want to do, just real quick to point out with 662 00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:44,720 Speaker 2: the coming week, you know, what if your factory, Tom 663 00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:47,760 Speaker 2: writes to me, what if your factory signal lights are yellow? Well, 664 00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:50,080 Speaker 2: you know, I think some factory signal lights are yellow, 665 00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:54,680 Speaker 2: and I guess, I guess factory is allowed in that question. 666 00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:56,600 Speaker 2: I think you're just not allowed to do an add on. 667 00:33:56,760 --> 00:34:00,120 Speaker 2: I think that's the problem, which you know, listen, I 668 00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:01,880 Speaker 2: bet you we could do a whole show just on 669 00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:05,640 Speaker 2: lights and talk about the different lights and the different lighting, 670 00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:08,040 Speaker 2: and I would really love to talk to an engineer 671 00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:10,719 Speaker 2: and get an explanation of why lights are designed the 672 00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:12,320 Speaker 2: way they are, for lack of a better way to 673 00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:15,279 Speaker 2: put it, because it's you ever noticed how headlights are 674 00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:19,799 Speaker 2: getting long and narrow like a slit it, and yet 675 00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:23,080 Speaker 2: you can see and everybody's got you know, I wonder 676 00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:27,239 Speaker 2: everybody's got the next blinding light, right, No matter what 677 00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:29,440 Speaker 2: you do, it's it's and there.

We had a two thousand and seven 686 00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:58,239 Speaker 2: tell you a matrix in the shop this week that 687 00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:01,160 Speaker 2: needed a catalytic converter. And I'm gonna try and do 688 00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:02,920 Speaker 2: a video on this one. I get a good opportunity 689 00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:07,120 Speaker 2: and the front flange bolts wouldn't come apart. They were 690 00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:11,400 Speaker 2: rusted and solid, and we tried everything, and it was 691 00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:15,120 Speaker 2: in a really cock eyed, deformed spot where nothing would 692 00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:16,120 Speaker 2: reach and nothing. 693 00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:16,600 Speaker 3: Could get to it. 694 00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:21,480 Speaker 2: So I took two Crayola crayons and I melted them together, 695 00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:24,960 Speaker 2: and I got the nut a little little hot, and 696 00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:27,440 Speaker 2: I tapped the Crayola crayon to the nut and it 697 00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:29,840 Speaker 2: just sort of the wax of the crayon, the material 698 00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:32,319 Speaker 2: of the crayon soaked into the nut, and within two 699 00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:33,759 Speaker 2: minutes I was able to take the bolt out. So 700 00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:35,960 Speaker 2: we're gona have to show that on TV or on YouTube. 701 00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:37,839 Speaker 2: I'm run anady in the car doctor till the next 702 00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:40,840 Speaker 2: time good mechanics aren't expensive, they're priceless. 703 00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:41,160 Speaker 3: See you
