1
00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:06,160
Speaker 1: Ron and Nanian. We may be getting an electric car

2
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:08,479
Speaker 1: future at some level. I don't know if you're ready

3
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:10,760
Speaker 1: for it. I don't know if we have the mindset

4
00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:18,919
Speaker 1: the Car Doctor. Hey, let's get over to Danny in

5
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:22,360
Speaker 1: Mexico City. Am I reading that right? Mexico, Mexico City. Wow,

6
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:24,680
Speaker 1: look at this, we're international time, Danny. Welcome to the

7
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 1: Car Doctor, Sir, how can I help? Yeah, Ryan, honor

8
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:30,800
Speaker 1: for me to you know, be on the line. Welcome

9
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:33,920
Speaker 1: to the radio home of Ron and Nanian, the Car Doctor.

10
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:38,479
Speaker 1: Since this is where car owners the world overturned to

11
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 1: for their definitive opinion on automotive repair. If your mechanics

12
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:45,640
Speaker 1: giving you a busy signal, pick up the phone and

13
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:48,879
Speaker 1: call in the garage. Do orders are open? But I

14
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:51,159
Speaker 1: am here to take their calls at eight five five

15
00:00:52,680 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 1: and now running. So before we dive into the next

16
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 1: hour of worter repair, let me just give you the update,

17
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 1: because I know you're all sitting on pins and needles

18
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 1: wondering what's going on with the Chevy Traverse. So and

19
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 1: for those of you that are, you know, late to

20
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 1: the party or haven't heard, I've been working on a

21
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 1: Chevy Traverse three six V six that started three weeks

22
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:19,319
Speaker 1: ago with a leaking power steering line. The power steering

23
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 1: fluid leaks out of the line. Uh, there's a bulletin

24
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 1: on at eighteen and a one on ninety five or

25
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,959
Speaker 1: some such thing that talks about multiple codes set as

26
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 1: a result of the power steering line leaking fluid into

27
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:34,479
Speaker 1: the harness. The harness gets saturated, it gets down into

28
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:38,120
Speaker 1: the bank one upstream OH two censor causes it to

29
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 1: set a myriad of codes everything from slow slow lean

30
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 1: to rich switch rate and catalytic converter issues and and

31
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 1: so on. GM solution, Just to remind you once again,

32
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 1: it was they wanted you to change the hose. Obviously

33
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 1: change the sensor, but they want the engine pulled out

34
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 1: of the vehicle, and they want the entire engine compartment

35
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 1: wiring harness replaced. No warranty, no extended, no recoil ne

36
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 1: verse for probably was one of their stupider designs, although

37
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 1: I'm sure that they're capable of more. And I'm trying

38
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 1: to resolve this. So I've got a hose in it.

39
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 1: I've got two O two's because the bank to O

40
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 1: two had really heavily carboned up as a result of

41
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,519
Speaker 1: the cock eyed codes had gotten it actually got stuck.

42
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:29,639
Speaker 1: The bank to OH two was stuck not really switching

43
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 1: full rate. So I swapped that out and I'm getting there.

44
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 1: I'm really close. I'm just about I'm just waiting for

45
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 1: the O two monitor run. I've got everything else is run,

46
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 1: and waiting for evapp to run, and winning for the

47
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:44,800
Speaker 1: O two monitor to run. And I wanted to see

48
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 1: if I could run an EVAP service bay test. Would

49
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 1: that flip the evapp monitor into a completed status? Well? Nothing,

50
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:59,080
Speaker 1: Well this actually isn't a true statement, but out of

51
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 1: all the scan tool is nothing I have does a

52
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 1: sixteen traverse evapp service bay test except the Opus I

53
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:13,080
Speaker 1: v S. And this is what I'm really coming to

54
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 1: love about this tool, that just when you think you

55
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 1: don't have it, you really have it. I dialed in,

56
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 1: I made a request for tech support, and Harris once again,

57
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:25,960
Speaker 1: uh my my, my Jersey brother from another mother dialed

58
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 1: in from California, and he uploaded the gm uh g

59
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:33,799
Speaker 1: d I their General Motors not g d I, their

60
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 1: UM General Motors version of their factory scan tool, their

61
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 1: actual dealer level software. Uh put it on the tool

62
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 1: over the internet. And together we went in and ran

63
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 1: the service bay test didn't help us because it didn't complete,

64
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 1: but that's a flaw in the software from GM, not

65
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 1: from Opus, but the fact that Opus has the ability

66
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 1: to do that. And it was interesting, right. You know,

67
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 1: you think to yourself, it's hard because when you're an

68
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 1: independent pair shop, you just, you know, do you see

69
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 1: everything that you need to see? Do you have all

70
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 1: the information you need to have? And when you watch

71
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 1: dealer level software not able to complete a task, the

72
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 1: first thought I had to myself was, Wow, even the

73
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:18,160
Speaker 1: dealer doesn't have everything or no everything, right, It's just

74
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 1: it's that fragile of an environment. It's that fragile of

75
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 1: an industry that everybody is still scratching and looking for

76
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 1: more information because it's just getting that much tougher to

77
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 1: fix cars. And you know, even in failure, you can

78
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 1: learn something and and come to some conclusions about you know,

79
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:41,039
Speaker 1: those the events around you, the industry. You know, what's

80
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,039
Speaker 1: it gonna take to fix this and so on. So

81
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,279
Speaker 1: it was it was a good time. I enjoyed talking

82
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:48,160
Speaker 1: to Harris Um as always the folks over at Opus

83
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 1: Opus I vs dot com for more information, if if

84
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 1: you're a shop and you're thinking about getting up to

85
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 1: the next level. That's a tool to really go and

86
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,600
Speaker 1: look at. So absolutely positively. Uh to be continued. I'm

87
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:01,919
Speaker 1: driving car. I've got it. I'm running monitors now and

88
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 1: when I fix this, I'll follow up with you again

89
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 1: in a week er, sauce. I'll let you know how

90
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:08,840
Speaker 1: we made up. Because we're gonna fix this car. We're

91
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 1: gonna do it without putting a wiring harness in it,

92
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 1: which is ridiculous. So where am I going? Tom Christa

93
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 1: in Las Vegas? Let's go there, Christy in Las Vegas

94
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:22,600
Speaker 1: and some Misforday, Hi, how are you? I'm goodne how

00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 1: day in New Jersey. Um, how's how's things in Las Vegas?

97
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:30,280
Speaker 1: I haven't been there in a couple of years. It's

98
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 1: uh beautiful Las Vegas. But you guys got some great

99
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:39,360
Speaker 1: weather today today. It's nice. Good news is that casinos

100
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:43,039
Speaker 1: and resorts are opening back up and we're starting to

101
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 1: come back to life after gosh, about a year and

102
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 1: a half of shutdowns and lockdowns and everything so crazy.

103
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:55,159
Speaker 1: Right for the economy here, good good, good, good, good

104
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:57,919
Speaker 1: good how can I help you see hurt? Well, I

105
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 1: have a nineteen one fifty have four point six leader.

106
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 1: I've had it for over twenty years. I love my vehicles.

107
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:10,679
Speaker 1: I take really really good care of them and try

108
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:14,599
Speaker 1: to can you know, fix a problem before it starts?

109
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 1: But lately it's been I have a misfire. Um. I

110
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 1: took it to my mechanic. He's he's really honest. He's

111
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 1: a very honest man. And he put it on the

112
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 1: computer and no codes came up, and the engine light's

113
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:33,279
Speaker 1: not coming on. So and he didn't want to go

114
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 1: ahead and replace all the plugs and coils because it's

115
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:42,160
Speaker 1: an expensive that's sure. Yeah, So let me let me

116
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:44,159
Speaker 1: ask you. Let me ask you a couple of questions.

117
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 1: Is and you know how did he test for codes?

118
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 1: Do you know that he did he use an O

119
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 1: B D two version scan tool? Did he go in

120
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 1: your make model? I'm going to assume he went your

121
00:06:56,200 --> 00:07:01,599
Speaker 1: make model. He's a professional mechanic, right, yes, Um, Because

122
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:05,600
Speaker 1: you understand there's two different languages there, right, it's every

123
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 1: car speaks Every car speaks two languages, all right, every

124
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 1: car speaks O B D two, which is government mandated

125
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 1: federal emissions or California emissions on the vehicle that the manufacturer,

126
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 1: that the federal government says, hey, we want to know

127
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 1: about this, this, this, this, and this, and the manufacturer

128
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 1: says okay, so they let the car speak O B

129
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 1: D two. And then there's manufacturer specific and sometimes manufacturer

130
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 1: specific may want to look at different things than federal

131
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 1: in terms of emissions. They may want to look at things.

132
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 1: They just look at it a little differently. So I

133
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 1: would be curious, does he have did he go in

134
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 1: year make model That's the way we say it. If

135
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:49,239
Speaker 1: you go in year make model UM, then you're going

136
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 1: in vehicle specific and you can get more information. Both

137
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 1: will give you codes and pending codes. But your make model,

138
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 1: if it, if this vehicle has the ability and should

139
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 1: would give him the ability for looking at misfired data

140
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 1: all right. You can actually look at it on a

141
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 1: scan tool while you're driving, just to see does it

142
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 1: does it? Does it one of the cylinders physically show

143
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 1: a miss? And also at the same time, I'd like

144
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:21,679
Speaker 1: to look at fuel trim. There's a couple of basic

145
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 1: settings and and parameters that I want to know UM,

146
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 1: and does his year make model version scan tool give

147
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 1: him the ability to look at something called mode six.

148
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:40,200
Speaker 1: All right, Um, you ever get sick, okay, so you know,

149
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:44,439
Speaker 1: you ever get sick on a Wednesday? Probably, how do

150
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:47,319
Speaker 1: you feel on Monday? You're kind of you're starting to

151
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:51,960
Speaker 1: feel crummy, right, and then Tuesday you got a sore

152
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 1: throat And then Wednesday, you know, you were sick. You

153
00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 1: were sneezing and coughing and you have the flu and whatever. Right,

154
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:03,440
Speaker 1: so Monday. Ever, ever, wonder how your body does that?

155
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 1: Your body actually runs tests in the background. You don't

156
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:09,200
Speaker 1: realize it's doing it, but it's always it's always there.

157
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 1: It's always, you know, running its own versions of tests.

158
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 1: All right. That's how bodies work. Same thing with cars.

159
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 1: Every time you start a vehicle, it runs complete self

160
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:22,080
Speaker 1: test diagnostics to see, you know, is this vehicle healthy?

161
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 1: And it has to have something as a benchmark to decide.

162
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:29,320
Speaker 1: You know, a computer can't see a tired sensor or

163
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 1: a broken wire. It has to be voltage in, voltage out,

164
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 1: signal in, signal out. It has to have something as

165
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 1: a benchmark to go against. That's mode six data. Mode

166
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 1: six data is the machine language that the computer speaks

167
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 1: in to decide is it operating correctly or not. The

168
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 1: better scan tools on the market today now have Mode

169
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:54,080
Speaker 1: six capability. They have the ability to go and look

170
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 1: at that. So you can have a vehicle that won't

171
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:58,600
Speaker 1: set fault codes. And some of the early Fords were

172
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 1: the worst. I gotta tell you, um, to the point

173
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 1: that you could unplug the coil, take the coil out,

174
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:05,079
Speaker 1: stick it in your hands, start the truck up. It's

175
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 1: running on seven cylinders. It'll run for two days with

176
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 1: no misfire code being set. It's really goofy. You wonder

177
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 1: how precise you know? So we we can't fall on codes,

178
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 1: is my point? All right? So you know how bad

179
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 1: is this? Miss? Is this a little bit of a stumble?

180
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 1: Is at the beginning of something major? Something minor? Um?

181
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 1: You know? And then tell me what's good? Ask him,

182
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:32,840
Speaker 1: you know, let him spend an hour, spend an hour

183
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 1: of your money, all right. Let him check fuel pressure,

184
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:39,960
Speaker 1: I've you know. Let him look at fuel trim, all right, Um.

185
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 1: Fuel trim would be an indicator of you getting that

186
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:46,720
Speaker 1: sore throat Tuesday and this and the actual cold on Wednesday.

187
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:50,199
Speaker 1: If fuel trim is skewing high or low, it might

188
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 1: be an indication of a fuel delivery problem that could

189
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 1: actually cause a misfire. Not all misfires are ignition related.

190
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 1: You ever mode lawn, you ever mode the lawn. I

191
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:05,559
Speaker 1: guess they don't have a lot of lawn in Las

192
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 1: Vegas because they have water issues. Okay, and then I

193
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 1: guess the snowblowers out of the question. Then right in

194
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:17,320
Speaker 1: Las Vegas. Definitely definitely no snowblower. But if you if

195
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 1: you ever run something with a small engine, all right,

196
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:24,200
Speaker 1: you know or you would know. Listen, a misfire occurs

197
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 1: for one of three reasons. Ignition related, fuel related, somebody

198
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:32,319
Speaker 1: left to choke on on a small engine, or something. Mechanical.

199
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 1: Mechanical problems are there all the time, and they're they're

200
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 1: usually very obvious. All right. It's ignition and fuel that

201
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:42,440
Speaker 1: are hard to track down. So don't get stuck on

202
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 1: while it's got to be plugs and coils, because it

203
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 1: may not be. It could be fuel related. When was

204
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 1: the last time you put a fuel filter in this truck?

205
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:53,320
Speaker 1: If the fuel filter was plugged, the fuel trims are

206
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:57,320
Speaker 1: real high. Uh, you know what great place to start.

207
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:03,320
Speaker 1: So let's let's approach this from tell me what's good

208
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 1: and then we can tell you what's bad. See see

209
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 1: what he says to that. I will do that. I

210
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 1: wrote all of this down and I will give him

211
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 1: a call and go over all these different options to

212
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:23,680
Speaker 1: look at and uh, because I don't want to Oh no,

213
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 1: not listen. It's just broken into tho. It's only twenty

214
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:28,840
Speaker 1: four years old. And listen if he wants to listen

215
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 1: to this in about an hour and a half, it's

216
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 1: gonna you know, because now we're doing the terrestrial for

217
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 1: broadcast show, this will become a podcast. You can just

218
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 1: google my name Ron and ating the podcast comes up.

219
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 1: It will also be the link beyond the Car Doctor

220
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 1: Facebook page. This is the second hour of this Saturday show.

221
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 1: You can pick it up. You're in the first segment,

222
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:48,440
Speaker 1: and that he can listen to the whole first segment

223
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 1: if he wants and listen, have him call me next week.

224
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 1: I'll be glad to go over it with him. Um

225
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 1: always play at the help of fellow brother mechanic that's

226
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 1: out there trying to make a living. All right, kid,

227
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 1: I gotta go. H'm up against the clock. Always a pleasure.

228
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:01,839
Speaker 1: Are good to talk to you, Christa, be well out

229
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 1: there in Las Vegas Way. I'm run on eating the

230
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 1: car doctor. We are back right after this. I've got

231
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:21,960
Speaker 1: the number time right on the wall, so you don't

232
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,840
Speaker 1: forget to call for car advice. Done right? Eight five

233
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 1: five five zero nine zero zero. Now back to Ron. Hey,

234
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:32,319
Speaker 1: let's get over to stand in Minnesota eighteen duicle cern Stan.

235
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 1: Welcome to the car Doctor, sir. How can I help? Yeah?

236
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 1: I say, my daughter has a two thousand eighteen and

237
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:46,719
Speaker 1: it has that stupid feature for emission control stopped at

238
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:51,560
Speaker 1: the light agent stuff. He doesn't make it us away.

239
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 1: Is there a way to get rid of that modic

240
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 1: you can put in? Yeah, there are some companies out

241
00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,200
Speaker 1: there that are making a module that we'll plug into

242
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:01,560
Speaker 1: the O B D two port. And what it does

243
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:05,440
Speaker 1: is it will trick the car into thinking that there's

244
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 1: either a fault in the system or that it has

245
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 1: been switched off, and it won't restart it and allow

246
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:13,200
Speaker 1: it to happen every time. Uh, you know, I have

247
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:15,680
Speaker 1: a concern. My concern with it is and it's it's

248
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:20,520
Speaker 1: it's your your call is very timely incorrect. Then you've

249
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:24,440
Speaker 1: got a daughter driving it, and you know I'm thrilled

250
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 1: when I can hear the car starting, you know, with

251
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 1: a daughter unit in it, and leave the house running,

252
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 1: and no, it's gonna run until it gets to the

253
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 1: destination of where it's going. Um, you know, for a

254
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 1: car to to stop, shut off, and restart every time.

255
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 1: I worry about that with with with with kids in

256
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:44,960
Speaker 1: the car, women in the car, small kids in the car.

257
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:48,880
Speaker 1: What's the reliability factor? We've added something that, in my opinion,

258
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 1: has increased the potential for failure. And I I agree

259
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 1: with you. I I don't know that it's going to

260
00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 1: accomplish and and and do what it's supposed to do. Beside,

261
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 1: cars are gonna be gone in fifteen years, no more

262
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 1: internal combustion engine cars. So um, why do we have

263
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 1: to create this technology for fifteen years of use? Right?

264
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 1: Because everything will be electric soon? Um? Yeah, well necessary

265
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 1: it's longer than that, brother, because they're not gonna be

266
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 1: able to do electric cars in fifteen years. I just

267
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 1: I just don't say it. Um, you know, I guess

268
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 1: my I guess My point is. You know, I've seen

269
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 1: some pretty stupid things in cars over the years, and

270
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 1: it just seems like just when you thought you'd seen

271
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 1: it all, if they just come out with the next

272
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 1: dumbest thing. Um. You know. One of the speeches I

273
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 1: love to give when I when I when I was,

274
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 1: when I when I'll hire a new mechanic is especially

275
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 1: a young kid, I'll tell him listen, I don't, I don't.

276
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 1: I know you've got preconceived notions of what you think

277
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 1: working on cars is all about. But if you stick

278
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 1: with me at least two years, when you stand up,

279
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 1: you're gonna realize that you've seen some things that make

280
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 1: you scratch your head and say, why would they do

281
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 1: it like that? And I've come to the conclusion that

282
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 1: I really believe this that I think the engineers designed

283
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 1: some of these systems in the morning and they go, nah,

284
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 1: we can never create that, and then they go out

285
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 1: and they have a liquid lunch and they come back

286
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 1: and that's when they approve it at three o'clock. I'd

287
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 1: have to know what time most automotive concepts are approved

288
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 1: morning or afternoon, because I think it's after they've been

289
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:17,680
Speaker 1: hitting the juice bar, because a lot of it just

290
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 1: doesn't make any sense to me, sir. Sorry, best answer

291
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 1: I got stamp, But yes, there are ways around it.

292
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 1: Do you think, um, you could look go look on

293
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 1: their website Rileyoto dot com. If not, google search or

294
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 1: call them, you know, call your local Orallyoto parts or

295
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 1: there's an eight hundred number on the website Rallyoto dot com.

296
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 1: Or you could Google search it and just say, you know,

297
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 1: start stop elimination or remove start stop eighteen buick however

298
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 1: you want to phrase it. And there are a couple

299
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 1: of companies out there that are designing it now. My

300
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 1: one precaution is, although I would think that if it's there,

301
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 1: it's been field tested, is an O B D two

302
00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 1: port theoretically is not designed for continuous operation data interruption

303
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 1: like that, et cetera. You know, I look at these

304
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:10,000
Speaker 1: what do they call it, from the phone company or

305
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:13,119
Speaker 1: the insurance companies, these tracking devices that they can, you know,

306
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:18,480
Speaker 1: track your speed and how you're driving. And I haven't

307
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:21,159
Speaker 1: seen anything affect vehicle operation. But it's always in the

308
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:24,399
Speaker 1: back of my mind because some of the classes I

309
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 1: go till you'll sit with the engineers and they'll tell

310
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:29,280
Speaker 1: you about the data coming up to that port and

311
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:31,479
Speaker 1: how it's not meant to be terminated in a device

312
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 1: other than a factory approved component for that vehicle. Your

313
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:38,400
Speaker 1: make model, what does that mean? That means, you know what,

314
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 1: Sometimes you gotta take the shot and try something else,

315
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:43,879
Speaker 1: and hopefully the guy that designed whatever chats you're putting

316
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:46,520
Speaker 1: on there did their homework and um, you know it's

317
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 1: gonna work properly. If that makes sense? All right, yeah, okay,

318
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 1: will endle yourself. No. Never, I haven't had the experience yet,

319
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:59,159
Speaker 1: but from what I understand, I will know. Actually I

320
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:00,919
Speaker 1: take that back. I haven't it went in, but I

321
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:03,760
Speaker 1: have seen one in operation on a late model Ford

322
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 1: and it was pretty flawless. It's in Um there's a

323
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:10,439
Speaker 1: switch to set you tell the car that you know

324
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:12,960
Speaker 1: it's running, and it never sets off. Again. I have

325
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:15,960
Speaker 1: seen them work. I just haven't done them yet because

326
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:18,880
Speaker 1: they're too new to us. Besides that, they're not difficult

327
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:21,000
Speaker 1: to install. From what I understand, Good luck to you.

328
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:23,160
Speaker 1: Stand brought any of the car Doctor coming back? We'll

329
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 1: write after this welcome back, brought any of the Car Doctor.

330
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:51,880
Speaker 1: Let's wander out to Long Island, New York and talk

331
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:55,320
Speaker 1: to Peter. Peter, Welcome aboard, sir, How can I help? Hey?

332
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 1: How are you doing? Ron? Good? Sir? I understand you

333
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:03,199
Speaker 1: got a quote book you're handing out, Um, Tom, do

334
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:05,360
Speaker 1: I have a Corvette book? I'm handing out. Tom's giving

335
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 1: me the thumbs up. Peter, you you have the Corvette books, sir. Uh,

336
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:12,359
Speaker 1: Corvette Stingray mid Engine Revolution just out from Motor Books,

337
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:15,920
Speaker 1: brand new, just came out in March. Gorgeous color pictures,

338
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:17,960
Speaker 1: some real highlights of the history of the car and

339
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:20,960
Speaker 1: how this mid engine beast came to light. I think

340
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:22,560
Speaker 1: you're gonna really enjoy it. I saw one in a

341
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 1: parking lot this morning. I went to the chiropractice this morning,

342
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 1: and um, I saw one in that. I think it's

343
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:31,119
Speaker 1: coral c blue, gorgeous blue. You just look at this thing.

344
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:34,640
Speaker 1: It looks like it's doing two miles an hour standing still. Um.

345
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:36,840
Speaker 1: So if you're a Corvette guy, if you're an exotic

346
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 1: car lover, you're gonna enjoy this. Uh, stay on the

347
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 1: line after the stay on the line after the call.

348
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:44,760
Speaker 1: Tom will get your address information and um we'll we'll

349
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 1: send it out your way this week. So, well, what's

350
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:51,159
Speaker 1: your question, sir? Before I let you go? All right,

351
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 1: that's gonna have It might be a long one, may

352
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:58,480
Speaker 1: not be all right. I have a Mercedes right with

353
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 1: the SBC troll SBC braking system. Are you familiar with that? Okay? Um,

354
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:09,399
Speaker 1: for a week, I've got it. I gotta check engine.

355
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:12,720
Speaker 1: Excuse me a B s light for the rear wheel

356
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 1: speed sensor, and I ordered one and I put it in. Actually,

357
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:22,720
Speaker 1: before I ordered it, I checked the other sensor. I

358
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 1: visually looked at it and uh, I thought it was open.

359
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:32,639
Speaker 1: I checked the resistance on it, So go ahead, go ahead.

360
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:37,040
Speaker 1: I ordered the part anyway, just to keep as a spare. Actually,

361
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:41,919
Speaker 1: this SBC braking system is warrantied by Mercedes years so

362
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:47,119
Speaker 1: they I guess there was a class actual lawsuit and

363
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:50,920
Speaker 1: they moved it to two thousand on it. Okay, because

364
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 1: I knew, I knew they had extended it. I didn't

365
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:55,200
Speaker 1: realize they had extended it that far. So so that's

366
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:58,639
Speaker 1: good for you. Oh yeah, good to me. But I

367
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:00,480
Speaker 1: want to make sure it was the sense or before

368
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:02,960
Speaker 1: I take it there, because it was that and something else,

369
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:05,480
Speaker 1: they would start charging me the hourly rate of two

370
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:07,120
Speaker 1: and at all of an hour wherever they get away here.

371
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:12,040
Speaker 1: So um, well, but keep in mind, which which what

372
00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:16,320
Speaker 1: what code do you have? Is it implausible signal? Yeah?

373
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:22,320
Speaker 1: Well I got a few, um um, I have a

374
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:27,840
Speaker 1: C seventy two left with a speed sensor. Um, then

375
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:33,000
Speaker 1: then what you were talking about? One? Yes? Uh? Sent

376
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 1: from tracks and system via the can bus. Implausible? Right,

377
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:40,400
Speaker 1: So I plugged a new one in and I'm getting

378
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:46,479
Speaker 1: wheel speeds, getting wheel speed. I can read it. But

379
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:49,760
Speaker 1: but I'm going, I'm pulling my hair. I'm going, what's

380
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:52,920
Speaker 1: going on now? I thought I had an open circuit

381
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:56,320
Speaker 1: on the center itself, which it wasn't. I don't I

382
00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:59,240
Speaker 1: don't know, but but I don't understand something. Peter. You you

383
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:02,960
Speaker 1: you you pulled code, you had codes, You replace the sensor,

384
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 1: and now you're getting a signal. So is the car fixed? No,

385
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:09,600
Speaker 1: it's not. I'm still getting So that's what I'm wondering,

386
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:14,880
Speaker 1: is I guess in the canvas system is there? That's

387
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 1: That's that's my quandry. Is I can read speed from it?

388
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 1: I drove around the block. All the four wheels are

389
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:27,679
Speaker 1: reporting speed. But yet it does not want to also

390
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:31,359
Speaker 1: to boot. When it sees a fault code in the

391
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:34,520
Speaker 1: A B S system, it cuts the power steer in

392
00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:38,000
Speaker 1: a half, it shuts off the cruise control and stuff

393
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:40,959
Speaker 1: like that. And obviously you have no way guess all right,

394
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:44,040
Speaker 1: So did did you did? If I remember right? There's

395
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 1: an initial calibration though, when you replace a sensor about

396
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:51,639
Speaker 1: driving the car slowly doing turns lock the lock ninete

397
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:55,000
Speaker 1: turn each direction straight in the car out because you're

398
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:57,919
Speaker 1: trying to calibrate the steering angle sensor to the A

399
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:02,880
Speaker 1: B S Oh, I never knew that. I believe that's

400
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 1: the system that has that. The other thing to be

401
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:10,159
Speaker 1: aware is that there are so there are also problems

402
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:13,959
Speaker 1: with the wheel speed sensors, not the sensors, I'm sorry,

403
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:18,439
Speaker 1: the wheel bearings that the trigger for the sensor is

404
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 1: built into the wheel bearings, right, little little magnets, So

405
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:27,239
Speaker 1: you know there can be some issues there. If you're

406
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:29,520
Speaker 1: getting a good signal, you're getting a good signal. You're

407
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:34,359
Speaker 1: using a scan tool. Yeah I got a launch Okay, wow,

408
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:39,080
Speaker 1: good for you because I needed it for this car.

409
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:42,440
Speaker 1: What it use from some guys? It's perfect? I did

410
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 1: I did? I hit the I print out all the speeds.

411
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:50,080
Speaker 1: They're very almost all identical, except once in a while

412
00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:53,320
Speaker 1: the left were the last time I punched it out,

413
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 1: it came up like ten kilometers where the right was

414
00:23:56,920 --> 00:24:00,360
Speaker 1: nine point five the other the left was end point nine,

415
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:05,840
Speaker 1: like one kilometer off, but I'm because of the road

416
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:11,560
Speaker 1: and maybe no, it should be it should be fairly precise.

417
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 1: I would, I'm gonna, I'm gonna question do you have

418
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:18,680
Speaker 1: a correct set of magnets or the magnets in the

419
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:24,560
Speaker 1: wheel bearing an issue? Well? That was my next question.

420
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:27,959
Speaker 1: Do I have a bad reluctant wheel? Right? Well? Because

421
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:30,840
Speaker 1: this this does not have this does not have a

422
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:34,960
Speaker 1: traditional tone ring. This is a series of magnets that

423
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:39,720
Speaker 1: generates a magnetic field to create the pulse to create

424
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:44,840
Speaker 1: the signal. Has this car sat at all? So you

425
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:48,480
Speaker 1: use this car every day? Driven almost every day, almost

426
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:53,480
Speaker 1: every day? Yeah, okay, yeah, it's okay, just broken in. Um.

427
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:55,880
Speaker 1: I think the next step is you've got to make

428
00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 1: sure that you've got four equal signals out of each sensor.

429
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:02,880
Speaker 1: The sense the sensors aren't interchangeable. I'm trying to remember,

430
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:12,119
Speaker 1: Oh five are they're they're different side to side, Peter, Um,

431
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm not sure. You know when you

432
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:18,240
Speaker 1: you know what, go go look up the parts. Do

433
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:20,920
Speaker 1: they do they specify the same part number left and right?

434
00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 1: Could you swap sensors? Yes? No, very identical parts left

435
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:31,639
Speaker 1: the right, front is left to right. Also, Okay, so

436
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 1: if you swap the sensors left or right, does the

437
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:40,119
Speaker 1: problem still report to the left? Oh, I'll have to

438
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 1: try that. Right if it's the same sensor. If it's

439
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 1: the same sensor, and you you get the same mild

440
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:50,880
Speaker 1: per hour variation, and that's a that's a real quick

441
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:52,919
Speaker 1: simple test. And you know you can do that in

442
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:56,520
Speaker 1: the driveway and then you know it's not the sensor.

443
00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:59,280
Speaker 1: It's either wiring at that point, which is not likely,

444
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:03,280
Speaker 1: or you've got an issue with the magnetic pickups inside

445
00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 1: the wheel bearing. But then the question becomes what's covered

446
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:09,840
Speaker 1: under the extended Mercedes warranty and what's not. Well, yeah,

447
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 1: the wheel bearing is not. The ABS spencers, the brake

448
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:18,040
Speaker 1: switch and the SPS control SPC control, and you're sure that,

449
00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:22,200
Speaker 1: you're sure the wheel bearings are not because it's technically

450
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:26,200
Speaker 1: technically the magnets are in the seal of the wheel

451
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:30,399
Speaker 1: bearing and you can replace the seal separately. So you know,

452
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:35,920
Speaker 1: it depends on how they wrote the recall. Um Now, yeah,

453
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:37,960
Speaker 1: I didn't see that in the recall and recall here's

454
00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 1: just the unit itself, brake switch and a B S

455
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 1: sensors and you're saying you're saying that the speed between

456
00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:52,119
Speaker 1: the left and the right should be almost identical. I mean, well, variations,

457
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 1: how's the front the front? Basically because I printed out

458
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 1: for uh, they're all within probably half a kilometer each

459
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:11,880
Speaker 1: each other. Unless I could accept that if they're all

460
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 1: doing the same thing. If you're telling me that the

461
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:17,320
Speaker 1: fronts are all reading thirty miles an hour and the

462
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:19,520
Speaker 1: right rear is showing thirty miles an hour and the

463
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:22,560
Speaker 1: left rear is showing thirty one, then I'm gonna say

464
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:26,560
Speaker 1: you're looking at a fault still in the left rear. Yeah,

465
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:29,680
Speaker 1: I see. The last one I did was it was

466
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 1: printing out in kilometers, so the left rear was ten

467
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:34,920
Speaker 1: point nine four and the right rear was nine point

468
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:38,040
Speaker 1: five three. The last test I did, okay, And how

469
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:42,680
Speaker 1: are the fronts and the last test on the front

470
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 1: almost identical? Twenty six? Right, you see how close the

471
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:51,360
Speaker 1: fronts are. Try switching that in two miles per hour.

472
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:54,600
Speaker 1: It's an easier number for you to understand. Yeah, I know,

473
00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:55,720
Speaker 1: I don't know how to do it on the tour.

474
00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:59,440
Speaker 1: It'll be it'll be in the setting somewhere, all right,

475
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:01,760
Speaker 1: Look a look under the settings menu. I gotta go,

476
00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:05,520
Speaker 1: Peter stand the line, let Tom get your information and um,

477
00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:07,440
Speaker 1: you know I'm here if you need more. Brother. So

478
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:09,680
Speaker 1: but like I said, do do what I said as

479
00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:12,399
Speaker 1: far as switching sensors and let's see where that gets you.

480
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:15,960
Speaker 1: Height five five zero, Ron Anty the Car Doctor coming

481
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:28,639
Speaker 1: back right after this. Welcome back, ran the car Doctorate

482
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:31,639
Speaker 1: five five zero is the phone number. Don't forget the

483
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:33,720
Speaker 1: checks out on the car Doctor Facebook page as well.

484
00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:36,600
Speaker 1: We post things up there from time to time, and

485
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:39,480
Speaker 1: by all means, we love talking to everybody when you

486
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:41,479
Speaker 1: give us a call here into the studio. Let's get

487
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:44,640
Speaker 1: over to Brian up State, New York. Oh eight Mitsubishi Raider. Brian.

488
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:48,920
Speaker 1: Welcome aboard, sir. How can I thank you very much?

489
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:51,800
Speaker 1: You're welcome. So I have a we call it a

490
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:55,400
Speaker 1: cessil truck. I'll be driving it down the road and

491
00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:58,280
Speaker 1: it feels like somebody reached over and popped it into neutral,

492
00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:01,200
Speaker 1: kind of grabs up a little bit. I've got no

493
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:05,479
Speaker 1: forward uh motion, and then it all it only happens

494
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:07,760
Speaker 1: for a few seconds and then it goes back into

495
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:13,240
Speaker 1: gear sort of kind of like a clutch. Um. We

496
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:17,240
Speaker 1: had it on the scan tool and the first day

497
00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:22,320
Speaker 1: it showed a tps um, but we reset that and

498
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:27,239
Speaker 1: that didn't hasn't come up again. So this is this

499
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:31,960
Speaker 1: is an automatic vehicle. It is okay because they had

500
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:36,400
Speaker 1: some problems with the manuals where the shifter bushings um

501
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:39,240
Speaker 1: or an issue. And is this is this physically going

502
00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:41,480
Speaker 1: into neutral? Do you have to actually move the lever

503
00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:44,560
Speaker 1: to get to get it to go and to drive?

504
00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:46,560
Speaker 1: It just feels like what you're describing to me. Then

505
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:49,080
Speaker 1: as you're telling me, you're driving along and it just

506
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:51,920
Speaker 1: feels like the trans is free reving or the truck

507
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:54,080
Speaker 1: is rep free reeving, like you put it in neutral

508
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:58,400
Speaker 1: but you did not, Yes, exactly, the indicator is still

509
00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:03,880
Speaker 1: in drive. Yes, okay. Anybody do any service work to

510
00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:08,880
Speaker 1: this transmission recently? All right? How many miles are on it?

511
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:15,920
Speaker 1: Hundred sixty one or two thousands something like that. And

512
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:19,040
Speaker 1: and he thought on that maybe it's just the trans

513
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:22,960
Speaker 1: is in the beginning of failure. Well, that's what I think.

514
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:27,520
Speaker 1: Or do we have you know, listen, it could be

515
00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:30,600
Speaker 1: you know, take it for a ride, run it good

516
00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:33,600
Speaker 1: and hard, come back, pull it pulled the trans stick out?

517
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:36,360
Speaker 1: Does this trans have a dipstick. It should in a way,

518
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:39,200
Speaker 1: I believe it does. So we have a mechanic in

519
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:42,600
Speaker 1: the fleet, and he takes it. I mean I drive

520
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:45,320
Speaker 1: it and it happens thirty seconds out the door, and

521
00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:47,640
Speaker 1: it happens every two or three miles. He takes it

522
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:49,760
Speaker 1: for a half hour. It never happens. I don't get it.

523
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:54,280
Speaker 1: So then, um, so he he ran it real hard

524
00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:56,480
Speaker 1: the other day, came back and I went outside and

525
00:30:56,480 --> 00:31:00,200
Speaker 1: he was pulling the dipstick out and the transmission LOUI

526
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:07,520
Speaker 1: looks great, it's a perfect, perfect level. Everything's good, No, sir,

527
00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:12,200
Speaker 1: it looked perfect. I mean it looked like brand new. Well,

528
00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:15,120
Speaker 1: and nothing happened. He had scanned tool on it the

529
00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:20,640
Speaker 1: whole time. And so then he took it again. Nothing happened.

530
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:22,680
Speaker 1: I uh. And then I so I grab it and

531
00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:25,600
Speaker 1: happens every two minutes. So I don't know what I'm doing.

532
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:31,080
Speaker 1: I'm doing nothing different. So can the can? Can? Can

533
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:32,840
Speaker 1: the two you put on masks and go out in

534
00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:38,160
Speaker 1: the truck together. Absolutely, so it finally happened yesterday. He

535
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:40,520
Speaker 1: was bringing it back to me. You can tell me here,

536
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:43,040
Speaker 1: nothing's wrong with it. And it happened to him, so

537
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:46,800
Speaker 1: I'm thankful that he did. So he still has it,

538
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:49,280
Speaker 1: and uh, he said, maybe you can get into it

539
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:52,719
Speaker 1: now you know what it is. But I was listening

540
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:56,200
Speaker 1: to your show and I thought, I thought i'd call in. Yeah, listen,

541
00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:57,920
Speaker 1: I'm glad you did. You know. The other thing and

542
00:31:58,000 --> 00:31:59,600
Speaker 1: what I was thinking about in the back of my

543
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:04,360
Speaker 1: mind is I've seen cases of transmissions shifting erratically, you're

544
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:07,200
Speaker 1: not shifting at all, or neutral ng as the term

545
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:11,400
Speaker 1: applies where they've got a split trans filter and it

546
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:14,320
Speaker 1: starts to it starts higher than the fluid levenl. It

547
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:17,640
Speaker 1: will start to draw air and cause the hydraulic circuits

548
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:24,720
Speaker 1: to become air bound and you know, the transil neutral um.

549
00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:27,680
Speaker 1: Sometimes you will see that if it happens enough that

550
00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:30,480
Speaker 1: you will pull the dipstick and the trans fluid will

551
00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:33,400
Speaker 1: be Phone me why because it's been it's been injected

552
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:37,200
Speaker 1: and you know, filled up with air in a sense.

553
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:41,320
Speaker 1: But you know, I wouldn't let that be my only decision.

554
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:45,560
Speaker 1: Sometimes we you know, sometimes we rely on codes too much.

555
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:48,520
Speaker 1: All right? Sometimes oh it doesn't it doesn't have a code.

556
00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:50,640
Speaker 1: Where do I go next? I got to apply common

557
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:54,200
Speaker 1: sense and again come back to tell me what's good,

558
00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:57,080
Speaker 1: all right, tell me what's good in the vehicle. I

559
00:32:57,120 --> 00:32:59,240
Speaker 1: don't necessarily need to always know what's bad. If you

560
00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:02,080
Speaker 1: can tell me what's good, I'll find bad because I'm

561
00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:05,000
Speaker 1: eliminating things. So call me back when you know. We're

562
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:07,320
Speaker 1: curious to see what happens, Brian, I appreciate the call.

563
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:09,760
Speaker 1: I'm rotating of the car doctor coming back right after this,

564
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:22,240
Speaker 1: welcome back right in the end. Car Doctor had a

565
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:27,480
Speaker 1: great conversation this morning with Mr Cooper. Um good long

566
00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:30,479
Speaker 1: time customer and always has some stimulating conversations. And we

567
00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:33,960
Speaker 1: were talking about flat rate times and estimating times for

568
00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:36,880
Speaker 1: repairs and how do you make that judgment and you know,

569
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:39,960
Speaker 1: what's what's key, and he thought it would be a

570
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:42,440
Speaker 1: good topic to express to you. So I will, because

571
00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:44,800
Speaker 1: Herb's kind of got his finger on the pulse of

572
00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:46,840
Speaker 1: some things. And I think he's timely and I think

573
00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:51,440
Speaker 1: he's right. I think the Flat Rate Book, as I

574
00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:55,760
Speaker 1: told him, is fiction um in a sense, because it's

575
00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:59,000
Speaker 1: based on a new vehicle, and it's only a guide.

576
00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:01,680
Speaker 1: It's a guest to it. It's a guide. It say hey,

577
00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:05,000
Speaker 1: here's what it should take. But if a bolt breaks,

578
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:08,359
Speaker 1: if there's rust, if there's corrosion, here's you know, it's

579
00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:10,640
Speaker 1: it's it's it's a book time, or it's straight time.

580
00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:13,680
Speaker 1: It's how long does it take? How does the repair

581
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:16,520
Speaker 1: shop count their hours? I've said this for years. You know,

582
00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:17,600
Speaker 1: where do you want to go? Do you want to

583
00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:19,680
Speaker 1: go to the repair shop that's seventy five dollars an

584
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:23,200
Speaker 1: hour or a hundred dollars an hour? Does the shop

585
00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:25,759
Speaker 1: that's a hundred dollars an hour? Are they faster at

586
00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:28,600
Speaker 1: what they do? Do they have better equipment? Do they

587
00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:31,320
Speaker 1: provide better service? Are they more accurate in their diagnosis

588
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:34,400
Speaker 1: because they're better trained? Or does the seventy five an

589
00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:36,960
Speaker 1: hour guy throw parts at it until he figures out

590
00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:38,680
Speaker 1: what's wrong with it but it ends up costing them

591
00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:41,920
Speaker 1: more money in the long one and then ultimately, well

592
00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:43,719
Speaker 1: how many times you have to go back for the

593
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:47,920
Speaker 1: same problem. So a flat rate guide and a flat

594
00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:51,520
Speaker 1: rate pay really isn't the way of the future because

595
00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:55,440
Speaker 1: cars are getting way too complicated. So just something to

596
00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:57,319
Speaker 1: think about when you look at how your repair shop

597
00:34:57,360 --> 00:34:59,680
Speaker 1: does it. Some good questions to ask Until the next

598
00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:02,000
Speaker 1: time I'm runing eating the car doctor reminding you each

599
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:05,640
Speaker 1: and every time good mechanics aren't expensive, they're priceless. See

600
00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:05,759
Speaker 1: you
