Um, you know, 98 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 1: it's gotta make you nervous driving a car with an 99 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:37,960 Speaker 1: air bag, and it especially if it's Takata, and uh, 100 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,599 Speaker 1: you know the number of recalls, and I gotta tell 101 00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:43,280 Speaker 1: you it's it's really upsetting the economy from a repair 102 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:46,480 Speaker 1: shop point of view, because so many customers are going 103 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:49,920 Speaker 1: into dealers getting the airbag recall done and then being 104 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:52,640 Speaker 1: told they need everything from the front of the car 105 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:54,640 Speaker 1: to the back of the car. They're going out to 106 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:58,040 Speaker 1: the independent shop finding out they don't, or they're getting 107 00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 1: it done when they don't, and it's it's really upsetting 108 00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:05,400 Speaker 1: the balance of things, and it's skewing a lot of 109 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:07,560 Speaker 1: different factors that I'll cover it a later time because 110 00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:09,560 Speaker 1: I don't want to take up a moment here, but um, 111 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:11,680 Speaker 1: let's just say that the recalls are costing us all 112 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:13,920 Speaker 1: a lot more than they already need to. Let's really 113 00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 1: try and sneak in a call real quick if we 114 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 1: can build Kansas City, Oh to Dodge Ram with an 115 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:19,960 Speaker 1: oil pressure problem. Bill, Welcome to the car doctor, sir, 116 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:24,400 Speaker 1: how canna help? Hi? Thanks? Uh, just a question. I'll 117 00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:27,440 Speaker 1: be driving along. It's got like a seven thousand miles 118 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:30,440 Speaker 1: on it, and uh, it's got the four point seven 119 00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:34,120 Speaker 1: leader engine Dodge Ram. But you'll hear a ding and 120 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:37,200 Speaker 1: look down and it'll say check cages and you look 121 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 1: up and the oil pressure is falling out, going down 122 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,960 Speaker 1: to zero, and then I don't know, five minutes later, 123 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:46,360 Speaker 1: it'll it'll come back up and kind of very back 124 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 1: and forth like that. A lot. I've I've changed the 125 00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:55,560 Speaker 1: oils sending pressure sendings. Uh, you know, had um. I've 126 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,719 Speaker 1: had a guy to take the heads off to clean 127 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,280 Speaker 1: the don't know what you call them, but the oil 128 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 1: the holes that let the oil drip back down through 129 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:09,040 Speaker 1: the block down into the van. And it's still doing it. Uh. 130 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:12,080 Speaker 1: I didn't know I was sold at the oil pump. 131 00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,799 Speaker 1: Either works are done, so you know, it's it doesn't 132 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,160 Speaker 1: sound like an oil pump, but I can't figure out 133 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:23,520 Speaker 1: what it is. I you know, my my first question is, um, 134 00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 1: does it when it runs? You know, when it runs 135 00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:29,120 Speaker 1: that five minutes? All right? Are you still tooling along 136 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:34,440 Speaker 1: down the road? Bill? Do you do? You? Well, when 137 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 1: I first started, I stopped. I'd put it in a 138 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:40,320 Speaker 1: and a neutral and I coast over to the side 139 00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:43,560 Speaker 1: of the road, and you know, thinking, oh my goodness, 140 00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:46,200 Speaker 1: my I don't have any oil pressure. But it doesn't. 141 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:48,680 Speaker 1: It didn't at that time. It didn't make any noise, 142 00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:54,480 Speaker 1: any rattling or even though I had apparently didn't have 143 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:59,280 Speaker 1: any oil pressure according to the gauge, my engine wasn't 144 00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:04,039 Speaker 1: knocking or idling or you know, rattling or anything. And 145 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:08,960 Speaker 1: that's my first question. Is this real? All right? As always? 146 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,600 Speaker 1: You know, you start something out without without oil, five 147 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:16,720 Speaker 1: minutes is forever? Oh yeah, you know. So if this 148 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,520 Speaker 1: really is five minutes and you ought the time at 149 00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 1: the next time it happens, how long is it really? 150 00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:24,480 Speaker 1: If this is five minutes or longer with no oil 151 00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:27,120 Speaker 1: pressure and you don't hear a sound out of the engine, 152 00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:30,680 Speaker 1: no lift or tap, no noise, no consequence, I don't 153 00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:35,480 Speaker 1: think it's real. It does. Actually, it does actually have 154 00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 1: a tapping noise when like I first start the motor 155 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,480 Speaker 1: in the morning or so, but then after a little 156 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:45,040 Speaker 1: while it kind of eases up and goes away. Okay, 157 00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:47,480 Speaker 1: but is it there? Is it there when you have 158 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:56,120 Speaker 1: this no oil pressure issue? Um? Not not really, I guess, 159 00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:59,120 Speaker 1: I gues I guess. I honestly couldn't tell you. I'm 160 00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,920 Speaker 1: because I'm my folks. Us is more on the gages 161 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,760 Speaker 1: and trying to figure out you're gonna come back or so. 162 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,160 Speaker 1: Then so the next time it happens, Yeah, well, the 163 00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:09,760 Speaker 1: next time it happens, let's focus on d here the noise. 164 00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:10,920 Speaker 1: You need to get pull over to the side of 165 00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:13,480 Speaker 1: the road somewhere safe and just sit there for five 166 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:18,320 Speaker 1: minutes and just count the time. Okay, all right, that's 167 00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:20,600 Speaker 1: that's a guy called me. And I mean, I had 168 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:23,160 Speaker 1: a guy tell me. I pulled in I was on 169 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:25,200 Speaker 1: my way to St. Louis and he goes, oh, I 170 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:27,200 Speaker 1: see your problem, and go what is that? He goes, well, 171 00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:30,160 Speaker 1: you get a fram oil filter. I said, oh, come on, 172 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:33,800 Speaker 1: he changed, He changed the oil, changed the filter, and 173 00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,679 Speaker 1: I drove on into St. Louis just fine. But then 174 00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:40,920 Speaker 1: going back home it started doing it again. And then 175 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 1: I had a guy tell me, oh, you've running the 176 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:45,199 Speaker 1: wrong oil in this motor. Don't ever use pins oil. 177 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:49,520 Speaker 1: Blah blah blah, just everything, but what it is right, 178 00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:52,200 Speaker 1: it's it's amazing how many people can diagnose it and 179 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:54,480 Speaker 1: be wrong and they still get paid for it. And 180 00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:56,680 Speaker 1: that just boggle That just boggles my mind. Let me 181 00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:58,520 Speaker 1: ask you this. When the guy pulled the valve covers 182 00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:00,400 Speaker 1: off to look at the area under the heads for 183 00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:04,840 Speaker 1: the oil return holes, Uh were was there a fair 184 00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:08,280 Speaker 1: amount of sludge in the motor? Yeah? He said, there 185 00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:11,800 Speaker 1: was like three holes on each side. The middle hole 186 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:17,800 Speaker 1: is fine, but the other two we're we're reduced in size. 187 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:20,439 Speaker 1: They were still open, but they were reduced in size. 188 00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,120 Speaker 1: All that out. Okay, So so it did have a 189 00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:26,959 Speaker 1: reasonable amount of sludge in it. Yeah, alright, So then 190 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 1: two questions. When you put the oil pressure center in 191 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:31,840 Speaker 1: and I don't think this is the issue, but I 192 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:33,600 Speaker 1: just want to touch on it. When you put the 193 00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:36,120 Speaker 1: oil pressure sender in, was it a mopart piece? Was 194 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,440 Speaker 1: it a piece from Chrysler or was it something after market? 195 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:42,920 Speaker 1: I think it was after market. I think I just 196 00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:48,280 Speaker 1: stopped and got it at like Advanced Auto Parts or something. Okay, 197 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:50,960 Speaker 1: first thing I would do is I would look for 198 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:55,840 Speaker 1: a quality piece, preferably from Chrysler, just just to just 199 00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:59,320 Speaker 1: to eliminate the part as a possible problem. That's number one, 200 00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:04,000 Speaker 1: all right. Number two, if this is if we want 201 00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:06,720 Speaker 1: to treat this like, let's assume that it's a partial 202 00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:10,559 Speaker 1: low low oil pressure problem. Okay, Let's say let's say 203 00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:12,480 Speaker 1: you change and you put a Chrysler piece in there, 204 00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:16,120 Speaker 1: and it shows lower oil pressure but not zero. It 205 00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:19,160 Speaker 1: does it, but it does it different, all right. Number one, 206 00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:21,600 Speaker 1: That tells me the advanced piece wasn't as accurate as 207 00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:23,960 Speaker 1: we thought it would be. And number two, and you 208 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:27,640 Speaker 1: still have a problem. Let's say that happens. You've got 209 00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:30,959 Speaker 1: to make a decision in your head, you know, where 210 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,120 Speaker 1: else is the sludge in the engine that was in 211 00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:37,920 Speaker 1: the head. It's everywhere, right, and it's it's it's possible 212 00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:41,880 Speaker 1: you've got sludge in the oil pickup for the pump. 213 00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:46,679 Speaker 1: So you know, here's where it's gonna be. Either do 214 00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:48,320 Speaker 1: you pull the pan to look at the pick up 215 00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:53,439 Speaker 1: tube or or do you do something? And I tell 216 00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:55,360 Speaker 1: I explain it to everybody in the shop like this. 217 00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:57,559 Speaker 1: There's a way to remove sludge from an engine. That 218 00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:00,360 Speaker 1: will remove sludge, but you have the pot anentil of 219 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:03,000 Speaker 1: hurting something. You just have to know what the consequences are, 220 00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:06,520 Speaker 1: all right, And that is a quart of break fluid 221 00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:08,680 Speaker 1: in the engine and let it run for the better 222 00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:10,920 Speaker 1: part of two to three hours. Just sit at idle 223 00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:17,800 Speaker 1: in the shop. Break break you know a court court. Yeah, 224 00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:21,320 Speaker 1: a quart um break fluid is a very caustic fluid, 225 00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:25,000 Speaker 1: all right. It will break down varnish and sludge and crud. 226 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:28,000 Speaker 1: And you know what. I haven't had a failure yet, 227 00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:30,280 Speaker 1: but it is possible. You have. I have seen it 228 00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:32,960 Speaker 1: where you can get into a scenario with you know, 229 00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:35,679 Speaker 1: causing engine damage. But it's do you want to take 230 00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:37,440 Speaker 1: a part the two in two thousand mile engine and 231 00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:40,040 Speaker 1: try and repair the sludge in the pump pickup because 232 00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:43,160 Speaker 1: then where else is it? And you don't know or 233 00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:46,160 Speaker 1: do you want to do? You want to try and 234 00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:48,680 Speaker 1: clean it out and then let it idle to three 235 00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:50,880 Speaker 1: hours a quarter to break fluid, do a hot oil, 236 00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,800 Speaker 1: change fresh oil, and see where you go from there. 237 00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,920 Speaker 1: It's it's a consequence and cause and effect type of 238 00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:59,840 Speaker 1: thing for you. Fill and that's what I'm sorry, Bill, 239 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,400 Speaker 1: and that's what you've got to think about. But try 240 00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:04,520 Speaker 1: to switch and then if you want more information about 241 00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:06,679 Speaker 1: the break flush doing it that way, send me an email. 242 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:09,160 Speaker 1: Ron at Car Doctor Show dot com eight five five 243 00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:42,439 Speaker 1: five zero zero. I'm back right after this. Hey, welcome back. 244 00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:44,320 Speaker 1: Why don't eating the Car Doctor.

And 255 00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:14,720 Speaker 1: the reason I'm danners as we came down to see 256 00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:20,400 Speaker 1: uh parade. The reason for that being that uh there 257 00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:23,560 Speaker 1: was nothing taking place back racial, I say, except a 258 00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:28,520 Speaker 1: lot of autographs, sessions and memorabilious sales. And the build 259 00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:32,920 Speaker 1: up is going. They have three country Western concerts, say, 260 00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:37,120 Speaker 1: led by Blake Shelton, who goes on and about uh 261 00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:40,600 Speaker 1: five theory I believe, and the crowds are gonna be huge. 262 00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:43,840 Speaker 1: So given what we're gonna be facing tomorrow, we start 263 00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:47,200 Speaker 1: to give ourselves a soliditude break. Right, So you know, 264 00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:49,320 Speaker 1: who do you see in the race? Jim, who's your 265 00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:51,560 Speaker 1: favorite to win the India this year? Who are you picking? 266 00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:56,040 Speaker 1: You know, I'll tell you the That's been a bone 267 00:13:56,080 --> 00:14:02,080 Speaker 1: of discussion or contention all month long. And the Chevrolet 268 00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:06,439 Speaker 1: cars have not been as fast as comp power cars. 269 00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:13,319 Speaker 1: Witness last weekend when H James Henchcliff not M. Joseph 270 00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:17,160 Speaker 1: Newgarten off the pole with the very last run of 271 00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:22,120 Speaker 1: the day in qualifications. You and I sit here and say, well, 272 00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:28,000 Speaker 1: the Chevys are probably stand back. I personally never met against, 273 00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:32,760 Speaker 1: especially when eleochstro Evis has the potential. Were not lying. 274 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:37,000 Speaker 1: You can also look up Sun of Passion of who 275 00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:42,560 Speaker 1: comes into the into three consecutive wins, and he looked very, 276 00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:46,320 Speaker 1: very strong. Um I still think it's gonna be a 277 00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:53,000 Speaker 1: titanic battle between Penski and teen Ganassi. That's my thought. 278 00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:57,000 Speaker 1: There's gonna be threeft and people in that place tomorrow 279 00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:00,280 Speaker 1: probably have their own thoughts, but that's where I'm coming from. Break. 280 00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:03,320 Speaker 1: I can imagine there's there's a legacy event going on 281 00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:06,760 Speaker 1: out there this weekend too, isn't there, Gym, Yes, that's 282 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:08,800 Speaker 1: going to be the first week in June. That's the 283 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:13,800 Speaker 1: spr a um Uh invitation takes place, and that has 284 00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:16,880 Speaker 1: turned into an enormous success. Tell Us tell us a 285 00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:20,760 Speaker 1: little bit about that, Okay, okay. Essentially, what you have 286 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:25,120 Speaker 1: is a pro am event that teams professional and amorate 287 00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:30,480 Speaker 1: drivers in UH arrows, and Alex r Jor is going 288 00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:32,600 Speaker 1: to be in that. I believe Anny Sullivan is going 289 00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:38,400 Speaker 1: to be in it. Um Uh basically a whole galaxy 290 00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:40,760 Speaker 1: of names from the past that take place in this. 291 00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:44,560 Speaker 1: But the unique thing is that, unlike most vintage racing events, 292 00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:47,600 Speaker 1: to take place on a road course. Ron This one 293 00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:51,280 Speaker 1: also involves the full two and a half mile Histroy 294 00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:56,840 Speaker 1: Oval in Indianapolis and various speedway cars that are going 295 00:15:56,840 --> 00:16:01,560 Speaker 1: to be running out there at substantial speed. And it 296 00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:05,240 Speaker 1: was hugely successful the first year they ran it, and 297 00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:07,960 Speaker 1: it's gotten better ever since. And that should be on. 298 00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:10,360 Speaker 1: You know, we talked about the month of May here 299 00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:13,080 Speaker 1: may it being the month of juny two before everything 300 00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:17,400 Speaker 1: here said really, well what time now? The race tomorrow 301 00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:19,640 Speaker 1: starts at what time? And what time do you think 302 00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:22,280 Speaker 1: you have to get to the track. Well, I can 303 00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:26,880 Speaker 1: tell you exactly what I'm going to do. Um um. 304 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:30,840 Speaker 1: We're under the thread of storms right now in central Indiana. 305 00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:35,200 Speaker 1: I'm probably going to get to the track by about 306 00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:40,960 Speaker 1: three am and just kind of chill out until the 307 00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:44,040 Speaker 1: bomb goes off and and the gates open from the 308 00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:49,600 Speaker 1: spectators at six o'clock. Uh in operative words are three 309 00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:54,720 Speaker 1: in number. Get here early. The police have always said 310 00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:57,360 Speaker 1: that if you're in Marion County by eight am, they 311 00:16:57,400 --> 00:16:59,800 Speaker 1: will have you and you see in time for race 312 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:05,320 Speaker 1: and which to Marrow's twelve seventeen pm easter. Wow, so 313 00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:08,320 Speaker 1: you're gonna be waitment. So the race starts around noon. 314 00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:11,080 Speaker 1: You're gonna you're gonna be at the track at three 315 00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:13,560 Speaker 1: in the morning to get in, to get in by 316 00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:16,680 Speaker 1: six in the morning, to get to your seat by noon. 317 00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:21,760 Speaker 1: I'm gonna get to my parking spot and and just 318 00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:27,040 Speaker 1: chill out and then and then head to side the track. Um. Thankfully, 319 00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:30,600 Speaker 1: I'm friends with a gentleman who has been a spot 320 00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:33,560 Speaker 1: ter on on one of the teams for many years. 321 00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:35,840 Speaker 1: His name is Dave Braninger. He's from down in the 322 00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:40,400 Speaker 1: Metro DC area. Um, he's not spotting for anyone this year. 323 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,080 Speaker 1: Most of the work he's been doing has been over 324 00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:50,600 Speaker 1: in the uh Our series. And Um. However, that said, UM, 325 00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:53,000 Speaker 1: he has a house right behind the track and he's 326 00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:56,040 Speaker 1: gonna let me stay at uh at its place in 327 00:17:56,080 --> 00:18:00,679 Speaker 1: the park there. So UM that takes away. Were just 328 00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:04,119 Speaker 1: probably running it into you because the prats are just 329 00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:10,720 Speaker 1: so so big. Yesterday yesterday was CAD Day, Ron Corporation Day, 330 00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:18,399 Speaker 1: and the craddare yesterday than it had been. Um, it 331 00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:22,720 Speaker 1: was bigger than it had been. UM for Pole Day 332 00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:26,320 Speaker 1: back in the seventies had something like a hundred nineties 333 00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:29,840 Speaker 1: past people there, granted a lot came to see the 334 00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:34,360 Speaker 1: Journey concert.

And suffice it 346 00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:26,480 Speaker 1: to say that I grew up at this man's knee, 347 00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:30,320 Speaker 1: um around the holidays, and he's a family relative, as 348 00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:32,200 Speaker 1: all of you must know, and we all love having 349 00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:35,000 Speaker 1: him here.

I'm the most fortunate person in the world. 354 00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:53,840 Speaker 1: You know. I realized people say to me, you know 355 00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:57,000 Speaker 1: you were fortunate and you turned out well talking to 356 00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:59,320 Speaker 1: me about me, and I say, you know what, I 357 00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:01,080 Speaker 1: think I turned out as well as I did because 358 00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:04,240 Speaker 1: I was raised by that World War two generation. And 359 00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:08,480 Speaker 1: you know, there there's something about you guys. Um do 360 00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:10,720 Speaker 1: you do you look at yourself and do you think 361 00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:12,440 Speaker 1: and there's no other way to say it, but do 362 00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:14,840 Speaker 1: you think of yourself as the greatest generation? Or that 363 00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:18,560 Speaker 1: were you just you? Just did? I think the greatest 364 00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:23,640 Speaker 1: generation where our parents. They went through the Depression and 365 00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:29,320 Speaker 1: raised us and we never felt, you know, in any 366 00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:33,320 Speaker 1: way that we were lacking, so they sent us through 367 00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:36,760 Speaker 1: schooling and so forth. And so I think that our 368 00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:40,560 Speaker 1: parents was a real great generation. So do you think 369 00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:44,000 Speaker 1: and that opened a doorway that do you think that 370 00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:46,959 Speaker 1: the Great Depression? Had we not had the Great Depression, 371 00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:50,399 Speaker 1: would we have had the ability to do what we 372 00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:54,600 Speaker 1: did in the Second World War? Yes? I think I 373 00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:57,320 Speaker 1: had nothing to do with the Depression. What the reason 374 00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:01,320 Speaker 1: why we were able to is the rally about people, 375 00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:06,720 Speaker 1: the patriotism. As you know, when the Japanese at Top 376 00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:10,200 Speaker 1: Pearl Harbor and I went home to tell my father 377 00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:13,600 Speaker 1: I was going to list before I could say anything 378 00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:16,720 Speaker 1: told me. He looked at me and says, son, your 379 00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:18,560 Speaker 1: country needs you. What are you gonna do about it? 380 00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:21,000 Speaker 1: And you know you had a sense of that, as 381 00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:24,480 Speaker 1: so many of the generation did. Were you ever scared? 382 00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:26,080 Speaker 1: I mean, did you ever sit there and say, oh 383 00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:28,639 Speaker 1: my gosh, look what happened. We're you know we're gonna 384 00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:30,520 Speaker 1: lose this thing.

We were not trained 454 00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:43,600 Speaker 1: to be uh lenient or comforting. Who were trained to 455 00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:46,840 Speaker 1: do our job, which was to kill the enemy. So 456 00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:48,879 Speaker 1: when you look at the people today that you know, 457 00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:51,879 Speaker 1: take the position and I don't make this political, but 458 00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:54,959 Speaker 1: I'm just curious from your perspective, when you look at 459 00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:58,720 Speaker 1: the people today that you know, they're they're they're revising. Listen, 460 00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:01,879 Speaker 1: there are some people saying that we enticed the Japanese 461 00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:04,280 Speaker 1: to attack us at Pearl Harbor and they're making revisionist 462 00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:06,960 Speaker 1: history up. What do you what do you say about 463 00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:09,960 Speaker 1: things like that. I think that's all of nonsense. I mean, 464 00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:13,280 Speaker 1: let's face it. What people don't know is that I 465 00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:18,720 Speaker 1: heard about the president went to uh Tokyo and to 466 00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:23,880 Speaker 1: Japan and uh. What one thing that they didn't report 467 00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:28,040 Speaker 1: is when we before we dropped the atom bomb, we 468 00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:31,359 Speaker 1: warned the Japanese that we had an atom bomb and 469 00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:34,760 Speaker 1: we were going to drop it, and they refused to surrender. 470 00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:40,080 Speaker 1: The reason why we were really concerned is because when 471 00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:44,119 Speaker 1: we to envage Japan meant that that in those days, 472 00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:49,560 Speaker 1: the Japanese people themselves were committing suicide rather than be captured. 473 00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:53,560 Speaker 1: And we knew there would be meanings to try, lives lost, 474 00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:57,520 Speaker 1: and so we warned the Japanese that we're going to 475 00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:01,000 Speaker 1: drop the atom bomb. The refused. That morning, we dropped 476 00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:03,880 Speaker 1: the bomb and it wasn't only until a second bomb 477 00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:07,879 Speaker 1: was dropped that they were surrendered. Yeah, and we forget 478 00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:10,399 Speaker 1: about that, right, We we don't remember. I think we 479 00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:16,080 Speaker 1: alter history rather than choose to remember it as Hey, listen, 480 00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:20,119 Speaker 1: I ran into a young man this week at the 481 00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:23,119 Speaker 1: diner who was shocked to find out that we landed 482 00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:27,040 Speaker 1: on the Moon.

How many courts oil 504 00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:49,760 Speaker 1: you think that thing took and how often did they 505 00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:52,360 Speaker 1: change it each and every combat mission? So many hours? 506 00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:54,760 Speaker 1: What do you think the deal was? Oh? Well, uh, 507 00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:59,680 Speaker 1: I really don't remember, you know, things like that. But 508 00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:04,680 Speaker 1: I tell you one thing. Our mechanics worked at night 509 00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:09,320 Speaker 1: outside in the open field, in complete darkness. They just 510 00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:13,120 Speaker 1: were worked with flashlights because during the war and there 511 00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:17,480 Speaker 1: was you know, complete blackout in the countryside in England. 512 00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:21,680 Speaker 1: And these follows were used to work service the airplanes 513 00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:25,160 Speaker 1: all night long, and about three o'clock in the morning 514 00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:29,080 Speaker 1: they'd be finished and we would take off about Uh well, 515 00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:31,520 Speaker 1: I would wake us up about four and we take 516 00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:34,720 Speaker 1: off about seven or eight o'clock in the morning on 517 00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:38,640 Speaker 1: our mission. I guess I tell you one thing else. 518 00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:46,440 Speaker 1: Uh the the ground crews there were phenomenal. I mean 519 00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:49,960 Speaker 1: they used to as I said, not only did they 520 00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:54,360 Speaker 1: work on the very very difficult position, but they were 521 00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:58,959 Speaker 1: very competable and competent and very able, and so in 522 00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:02,479 Speaker 1: fact that I to tell you that the pirates also 523 00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:07,000 Speaker 1: were trained in the engine. If you talk about my 524 00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:10,720 Speaker 1: first mission, before my first mission, I have one hour 525 00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:14,760 Speaker 1: flying time in the piece the one. Yet I was 526 00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:19,680 Speaker 1: able to survive and fly that airplane losing oil for 527 00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:23,440 Speaker 1: forty five minutes before it finally caught fire. And I 528 00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:26,200 Speaker 1: had a bear out well, and you know to that point, 529 00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:28,920 Speaker 1: we'll touch on that. So there you are over Holland 530 00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:32,880 Speaker 1: and around go through a flak went through the oil 531 00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:35,400 Speaker 1: cooler line, the oil feet to the to the supercharger 532 00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:39,640 Speaker 1: it was and you're dropping. Actually I think I think 533 00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:43,920 Speaker 1: it hit the super charger and the super charger was 534 00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:48,080 Speaker 1: engaged by engine oil pressure, so I lost power. We 535 00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:52,000 Speaker 1: were flying about twenty three thousand feet and I didn't 536 00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:56,200 Speaker 1: regain power. I guided down about seven thousand feet and 537 00:30:56,240 --> 00:31:00,320 Speaker 1: that's when I had enough power to maintain uh flight right, 538 00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:04,400 Speaker 1: And and you ended up somehow. You know, nineteen years old, 539 00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:06,680 Speaker 1: you had the constitus of mine, your first combat mission 540 00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:10,680 Speaker 1: over Europe, to wiggle waggle the plane and splash oil 541 00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:13,360 Speaker 1: up out of the sump and and and cool the 542 00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:16,200 Speaker 1: cylinders down, to which Tom Ridge said, are you okay? 543 00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:18,080 Speaker 1: And you said, yeah, what are you doing? I'm lubricating 544 00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:20,920 Speaker 1: the engine. And then a couple of minutes later the 545 00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:23,320 Speaker 1: engine just started to destruct and it was time to 546 00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:27,480 Speaker 1: bail out. And the rest is containing. The other thing 547 00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:31,400 Speaker 1: that you have to remember is I bailed out and 548 00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:37,080 Speaker 1: gale force winds. That's seventy wins And that's what my 549 00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:41,840 Speaker 1: problem was. Rough Sea. I was in the water itself 550 00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:44,960 Speaker 1: about an hour and a half before I was finally rescued. 551 00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:50,880 Speaker 1: But uh uh no, what just thinking of you Gotta 552 00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:53,720 Speaker 1: remember what I was saying. I'm a New York boy. 553 00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:57,480 Speaker 1: We didn't have we didn't we we didn't have cars 554 00:31:57,480 --> 00:32:00,080 Speaker 1: like they do today. We were traveling all little of 555 00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:02,800 Speaker 1: New York with the subboys system. So I didn't even 556 00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:06,760 Speaker 1: in fact how to my instrument rating before I had 557 00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:10,640 Speaker 1: to drive his license really so and I when I 558 00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:13,840 Speaker 1: went over the season, I became an officer. One of 559 00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:17,360 Speaker 1: we had bicycles we traveled and one day I had 560 00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:20,000 Speaker 1: to go out of town to one of the other 561 00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:23,600 Speaker 1: basis and I had to take a jeep to do it. 562 00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:28,280 Speaker 1: And I went to the UH to the motor pool 563 00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:31,640 Speaker 1: to get the jeep and the fellow gives me a 564 00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:34,480 Speaker 1: key and says that he was over there. I said, well, 565 00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:36,480 Speaker 1: I don't know how to drive it, as they could 566 00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:39,680 Speaker 1: somebody drive me. He's just driving around the perimeter. You 567 00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:42,560 Speaker 1: learn and that's how I learned how to drive. Well, listen, 568 00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:46,680 Speaker 1: I remember, I remember, oh gosh, going back about years ago, 569 00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:49,320 Speaker 1: there was a family reunion down in central New Jersey 570 00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:51,280 Speaker 1: and you were driving up from where you were I 571 00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:53,480 Speaker 1: think you were living in the in the Carolinas or 572 00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:56,280 Speaker 1: Alabama at the time, and I remember asking Uncle Steve, 573 00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:57,880 Speaker 1: you need the direction? You said, heck, no, I found 574 00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:00,000 Speaker 1: Berlin and forty five. I'm sure I can find New Jersey. 575 00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:03,000 Speaker 1: You again, not a problem. I never forgot that. And 576 00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:06,080 Speaker 1: that's that's something I have always admired about your generation 577 00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:07,760 Speaker 1: and the way you guys do things. It's that can 578 00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:11,280 Speaker 1: do attitude. Well, the thing that we had.

They don't have watch 583 00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:33,760 Speaker 1: and they don't know what's six o'clock, at three o'clock, 584 00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:37,600 Speaker 1: at four o'clock. Well, well, not not only that, Uncle Steve, 585 00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:39,400 Speaker 1: but the kids today they've never had to watch their 586 00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:42,120 Speaker 1: six because they've always had it.

I 598 00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:37,840 Speaker 1: started this two hours and I was a little nervous 599 00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:39,600 Speaker 1: at the beginning of the show. If if you couldn't tell, 600 00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:41,880 Speaker 1: I just I didn't have my timing right and my 601 00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:43,600 Speaker 1: head wasn't on right, and it was just a tough 602 00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:47,960 Speaker 1: week at the shop, and you know, kind of overwhelming 603 00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:50,600 Speaker 1: interviews today, you know, it's it's it's just you talk 604 00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:52,279 Speaker 1: to some of these people and you look at them 605 00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:55,040 Speaker 1: and a couple of mentors there, and um, you know, 606 00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:56,960 Speaker 1: I enjoyed it, and I hope you did too. I 607 00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:59,000 Speaker 1: just want to say that, and I want to thank 608 00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:01,520 Speaker 1: you for letting me come into your Memorial Day weekend 609 00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:03,239 Speaker 1: and talk to you as we did and do a 610 00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:07,600 Speaker 1: do an untraditional show about Memorial Day traditions and things 611 00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:09,919 Speaker 1: like that. It was a it was a tough week 612 00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:11,359 Speaker 1: at the shop and I needed to do a show 613 00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:14,239 Speaker 1: like this because um um, it was a weird week 614 00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:15,920 Speaker 1: at the shop. You know, I didn't talk about I 615 00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:17,160 Speaker 1: was going to use it in one of the opening 616 00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:21,480 Speaker 1: conversations about the O eight Saturn view that came in. Um, 617 00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:22,960 Speaker 1: I have to back up. We had an O eight 618 00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:24,799 Speaker 1: Saturn view that came in two weeks ago. I did 619 00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:28,000 Speaker 1: an oil change and stabilizer bar links. Customer picked the 620 00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:32,840 Speaker 1: car up, drovers for four days, went to work on Monday, 621 00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:35,360 Speaker 1: I think it was, came home Monday night, started the 622 00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:37,080 Speaker 1: car up. Check engine light was on in the car, 623 00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:40,879 Speaker 1: had a misfire. Huh gee, what happened? Brought the car 624 00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:43,640 Speaker 1: on Tuesday morning. It had a P zero two O 625 00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:49,560 Speaker 1: two injector driver full circuit. Went into did some diagnostics 626 00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:52,240 Speaker 1: and it talks about problems with the PCM and problems 627 00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:55,360 Speaker 1: with the injector. And this is sixty five thousand miles Saturn. 628 00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:56,839 Speaker 1: It doesn't have a lot of miles on it. And yeah, 629 00:35:56,880 --> 00:36:00,160 Speaker 1: I know miles isn't as an all, be all, an 630 00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:02,399 Speaker 1: end all indicator. But the bottom line became, I said, 631 00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:03,759 Speaker 1: you know, it's a little young for it to have 632 00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:09,239 Speaker 1: PCM issues. And although it's possible, looked into the relational database, 633 00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:12,280 Speaker 1: there was no listing of anyone having a P zero 634 00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:14,600 Speaker 1: two A two fault in the last five years. I said, 635 00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:16,799 Speaker 1: that's kind of odd. Took a little deeper into the car, 636 00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:19,399 Speaker 1: found the mouse nest where the mouse chewed through number 637 00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:21,680 Speaker 1: two wiring harness, and that was typical of my week. 638 00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:24,160 Speaker 1: It was just a weird week with weird repairs. So 639 00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:26,279 Speaker 1: I appreciated the ability to do a show like this 640 00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:28,879 Speaker 1: and the kind of step outside of my normal self, 641 00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:31,040 Speaker 1: and I thank you once again. Hey, I'm ordinating the 642 00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:32,960 Speaker 1: car doctor. I enjoyed each and every minute today and 643 00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:36,839 Speaker 1: I'm reminding you good mechanics aren't expensive, they're priceless. See 644 00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:36,920 Speaker 1: you
