1
00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:06,200
Speaker 1: The city is headed for a disaster of biblical proportion.

2
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:07,800
Speaker 2: What you mean biblical?

3
00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:08,639
Speaker 3: What he means?

4
00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:12,400
Speaker 1: This Old Testament here man, real wrath of God type stuff,

5
00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:18,680
Speaker 1: Fire and brimstone coming down to the sky, rivers and seas, boiling, birthquakes, polcanoes,

6
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:30,800
Speaker 1: humans sacrifice, dogs and cats living together, massus parion, something strange.

7
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 4: Who are you gonna.

8
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:33,479
Speaker 5: Call ron An aian?

9
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:37,000
Speaker 2: There's a fatal flaw in any vehicle. I don't care

10
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:42,520
Speaker 2: whether it's ev ic hydrogen gets pulled by a horse.

11
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 2: I don't care how if you if you got to

12
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:46,960
Speaker 2: take your eyes off the road to find something radio,

13
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:50,240
Speaker 2: heat or seat position, it's dangerous, that chi doctor.

14
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:53,520
Speaker 4: I've called a couple of places to see if uh

15
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 4: putting a two speed transfer case and the wiring and

16
00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:00,080
Speaker 4: everything in it was feasible, And you haven't. Really you

17
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 4: had much success. Just got to see what you thought.

18
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:05,759
Speaker 2: I don't think. I think you bought the wrong vehicle.

19
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 5: Welcome to the radio home of Roninanian, the Car Doctor.

20
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 5: Since nineteen ninety one, this is where car owners the

21
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 5: world overturned to for their definitive opinion on automotive repair.

22
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 5: If your mechanics giving you a busy signal, pick up

23
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 5: the phone and call in the garage doors are open.

24
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 2: But I am here to take your falls at eight

25
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 2: five five five six ninety nine.

26
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 4: Hundred and now.

27
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 5: He running.

28
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 4: You know.

29
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 2: The the cost of diagnosis is where I wanted to talk.

30
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:44,319
Speaker 2: I want to talk about a little bit about that.

31
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 2: You know, I was reading that everybody is all of

32
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 2: a sudden shocked now by what things cost the diagnose

33
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 2: and how expensive and complicated things are. And yes, the truth, man,

34
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 2: I got to tell you that it's it's getting worse,

35
00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 2: you know, and it's because of the complexity. But I

36
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 2: also want to point out that I think it's going

37
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 2: to be next week we're going to have a gentleman

38
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 2: on by the name of Jared Wilson. Jared was just

39
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 2: in the news this week fighting the right to repair,

40
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 2: fighting for right to repair on above all else. Can

41
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 2: you imagine this is farm tractor?

42
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 6: You know.

43
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 2: I spoke to Jared at length this week and it

44
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 2: was just a great conversation. Here's a guy taking on

45
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 2: the big guys.

46
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:24,119
Speaker 4: Right.

47
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 2: It's the problem where you're six hundred thousand dollars tractor

48
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 2: breaks down in the middle of your three hundred acres

49
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 2: and they tell you, yeah, tow it out to the

50
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 2: dealership and we'll fix it in four weeks. And the

51
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 2: issue with them, for them, the farmers, is the crops

52
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 2: go bad, there is no crop to harvest. They lose

53
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 2: money and guess what, we have nothing to eat. So,

54
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:47,920
Speaker 2: you know, I think about that. I think about the

55
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:51,119
Speaker 2: cost of diagnosis. Have we taken things to an extreme?

56
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:55,639
Speaker 2: And you know when does that point bring us back

57
00:02:55,680 --> 00:03:00,120
Speaker 2: to the moment of sanity? So cost of diagnosed, this

58
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:01,679
Speaker 2: is on the car doctor's mind this week. I just

59
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 2: want you to know that. I also want to do

60
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:05,360
Speaker 2: a quick shout out to Allen and the whole crew

61
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,919
Speaker 2: out there at KVOI turned thirty am, the Voice out

62
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 2: in Tucson, Arizona. Had a great time being there past Thursday,

63
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 2: and I enjoyed the conversation and talking about cars on

64
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:18,080
Speaker 2: the show and everything else, and just a wonderful time

65
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 2: we had. And again, thank you to Alan and everybody

66
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 2: out there at KVOI. We had, we had a good time.

67
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:24,640
Speaker 2: We're happy to be there and we're glad to do

68
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 2: it again. Let's go open up the phone lines. Let's

69
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:29,640
Speaker 2: go to Eric in Pennsylvania. I've got a feeling. This

70
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 2: is a diagnostic problem. Eric, you're on with the car doctor, Baby,

71
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:33,800
Speaker 2: what's going on?

72
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 4: Hello? How are you doing? Dude?

73
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 2: Good sir? What's going on?

74
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 4: Good? Good? So I have a twenty thirteen Chevrolet Suburban LTZ. Right,

75
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 4: it's got two hundred and thirty thousand miles on. I

76
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 4: had a new engine put in create engine and at

77
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 4: one hundred and eighty nine thousand miles and then they

78
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 4: just had to replace it again because of a problem. Okay,

79
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 4: but ever since the first engine was put in my

80
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 4: votage draw when I'm on a long trip. Sometimes it's

81
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 4: a short trip, but the voltage goes from fourteen down

82
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 4: to about ten, and my air conditioning shuts off, and

83
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 4: then if I keep driving the car, it'll go into

84
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 4: limp mode. But I don't do that anymore because I

85
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 4: know it's coming. But here's the catch. If I turn

86
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:23,359
Speaker 4: my headlights on, the voltage goes right back up to

87
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 4: fourteen in about thirty seconds or a minute. So on

88
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:29,920
Speaker 4: trips I always have to run with my headlights on.

89
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,840
Speaker 4: My technician son is one of the head mechanics at

90
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 4: the Chevrolet garage. He sent me to an electrical guy

91
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,920
Speaker 4: that's supposed to be the guy he puts some new

92
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 4: ground wires on. But that was at the end of

93
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 4: the season last year, and then I didn't use my

94
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 4: air conditioning much and it was good all winter. But

95
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 4: now it's starting all over again. But nobody can tell me.

96
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 4: They say the voltage should drop, the show shouldn't shut

97
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 4: my air conditioner off.

98
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 2: So what happens if you just put a different type

99
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:05,159
Speaker 2: of electrical load on the system instead of turning headlights on?

100
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 2: What if you turn on the fan blower?

101
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, it doesn't do it.

102
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:11,720
Speaker 2: It doesn't do it. It's it's headlights circuit specific.

103
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 4: Well, it's headlight is the air conditioner is what shuts off? Right?

104
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 2: And then well, when you say the air conditioning shuts off,

105
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 2: you're saying it blows warm air, or the blower stops working.

106
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:25,920
Speaker 4: The compressor stops running.

107
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 2: Right, But will the will the blower continue to work?

108
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 4: Yes? Oh yes it does.

109
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 2: Continue Okay, so but if so, if so, back to

110
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 2: my question. If you turn the blower on, and that's

111
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 2: a voltage load. Headlights are a voltage load.

112
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 4: Right, yes, it doesn't have a problem.

113
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 2: Do you still have the problem?

114
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 7: No?

115
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 4: Because in the in the winter, I don't have any problem.

116
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 2: Okay, no, no, no, you're missing my point. I'm sorry

117
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 2: when when when you're having the issue? All right, because

118
00:05:56,440 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 2: I'm trying to split this. Is this strictly a headline

119
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:03,719
Speaker 2: circuit problem? Or is this it has to see electrical

120
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:06,719
Speaker 2: load on the vehicle. So when you're having the problem,

121
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 2: forget turning on the headlights. If you turn on the blower,

122
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 2: does the problem go.

123
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 4: Away the blowers? I think the blower is always on side.

124
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 4: I think it's still there.

125
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, so listen. You can say to me, hey, Ron,

126
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 2: I don't know, and I get that that's okay. But

127
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 2: my point becomes, you know, if I'm diagnosing this, I

128
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:31,359
Speaker 2: want to know what circuit I'm working on because the

129
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 2: headlight piece is interesting, and I think that's an important

130
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,719
Speaker 2: part of the puzzle. All right, is it Is it

131
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 2: strictly electrical load or is it headlight electrical load? Because

132
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 2: then I want to go look at when I turn

133
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:45,279
Speaker 2: the headlights on, what else am I activating on that

134
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 2: circuit to keep the system from falling down?

135
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,279
Speaker 4: Right? The electrical guy told me he thought it was

136
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 4: bypassing the the energy saving mode when I turn the

137
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 4: headlights on. He thinks it shuts off this whatever they call.

138
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 2: This new power say in feature power.

139
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 4: Safe, And I do have a brand I do have

140
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:06,360
Speaker 4: a brand new alternator, brand new battery. They've actually changed

141
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 4: the GM alternator all GM parts and they put another

142
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 4: GM alternator on just because in the beginning they weren't

143
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 4: really sure what was going on.

144
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 2: And they've they've looked at I'm sure they've looked at

145
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 2: the harness, and you know the problem is sometimes you

146
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 2: never see it in the harness. You know, has anybody

147
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 2: taken apart the bulkhead connector where the fire where the

148
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 2: wiring harness goes through the firewall.

149
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 4: I don't know what the electrical guy did. It was

150
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 4: I mean, I paid five hundred dollars to get it,

151
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 4: and he worked on it for a day and he

152
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,120
Speaker 4: gave me a whole picture of the whole diagram or

153
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 4: the electrical circuits. And that don't mean anything to me,

154
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 4: but right, I mean, he definitely worked pretty hard at it.

155
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 2: Can it can it? Can it be duplicated driving around town?

156
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 2: Or it's got it can be duplicated driving around town?

157
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 4: Yeah?

158
00:07:57,080 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 2: Okay, so my next question would be when it's happening,

159
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 2: you know, and they're looking at it on a scan

160
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 2: And here's where I want to use a scan tool.

161
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 2: But I want to see are any other modules dropping out?

162
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 2: Do we have? And I want to think of it

163
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 2: in terms of this, do we have a communication problem

164
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 2: in the network. You're not really driving a car, Eric,

165
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 2: You're driving a computer with four wheels, And do we

166
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 2: have a module that's not talking to the group. So

167
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 2: if there's thirty two modules on this vehicle and all

168
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 2: of a sudden somebody in the middle drops out, everybody

169
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 2: starts to shut down, Okay, all right? And that would

170
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:39,559
Speaker 2: make sense to me if I can replicate the problem

171
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:42,559
Speaker 2: and just go and look and see does everybody report?

172
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 2: In other words, what am I saying? You walk into

173
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 2: the office, there's thirty two computers sitting on everybody's desk,

174
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 2: and the person in the middle goes, hey, Eric, my

175
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 2: computer stopped working, and then all of a sudden, the

176
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 2: person next to them, then the person next to them,

177
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:01,560
Speaker 2: the person next to them, until the whole network is

178
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:05,680
Speaker 2: pulled down. Is that? Is that what's happening to you?

179
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 2: And you don't have that answer, But I'm just I'm

180
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 2: just explaining a diagnostic direction to take the other thing

181
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 2: I want to know is what's good so far? And

182
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 2: I'm not knocking anybody because this is a tough one,

183
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 2: but everybody's testing for what's bad, what's working? Tell me

184
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:29,720
Speaker 2: what's good? Right, Okay, let's let's let's take that approach.

185
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 2: You know, I always think of the movie Apollo thirteen

186
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 2: when the thing blew up and they, you know, the

187
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 2: flight commander Gene Cernam said, hey, tell me what's working

188
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:40,960
Speaker 2: on the spacecraft. Tell me what's working on the car.

189
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 2: Do fuel trims look normal? Does throttle position look normal?

190
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 2: You know? Is this strictly related to engine only or

191
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:50,840
Speaker 2: are other systems reporting those failures as well?

192
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 4: Well, now you're making me think, because I'll tell you

193
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 4: since I've got the second new engine, and they replaced

194
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 4: the first new Create engine because of a problem, and

195
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 4: actually this is a third new engine since COVID all Create,

196
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:10,080
Speaker 4: all GM crates and all un replaced under warranty. But

197
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 4: I will tell you now that you say that they

198
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 4: can't figure out my well, my oil pressure always shows

199
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:19,320
Speaker 4: low on the dash, but it's not low at the

200
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 4: I don't think that that has any bearing on it.

201
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 2: I'm just oh, don't yeah, don't say it does or doesn't.

202
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 2: You know, it's it's if something else is out of skew.

203
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:33,560
Speaker 2: Stop focusing on the engine. Let's look at everything oil

204
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 2: pressure right well, because is there a problem in the cluster. Listen,

205
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 2: I've got re built well, but you know, pins and

206
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:46,199
Speaker 2: connectors right, wiring, harnesses and connectors, got it? And then

207
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:49,720
Speaker 2: are there any aftermarket parts in this vehicle? Factory radio,

208
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 2: factory wiring, no aftermarket add on, alarm, remote start, any

209
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:55,600
Speaker 2: of the accessories that can be out there in multiple force.

210
00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 4: The only thing that was done is I had a

211
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 4: guy shut off the it doesn't go in because the

212
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 4: first engine had to the lifter problem or whatever, Yeah

213
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 4: got off.

214
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:06,080
Speaker 2: AFM doesn't.

215
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, the AFM shut off on it.

216
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 2: Okay, So they just.

217
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 4: Said it on my tao is the same way it's

218
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:15,319
Speaker 4: been shut off, and it's it's perfect.

219
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:17,080
Speaker 2: Right well, And it also depends on how well on

220
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:19,840
Speaker 2: how they shut it off, you know, the other the

221
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 2: other the other thing. You know, never assumed because one

222
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:25,080
Speaker 2: does it the other doesn't, that it's not the problem.

223
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 2: Verify it all right, Listen, I've sat down and I

224
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 2: just had to talk about this. Recently, I got interviewed

225
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 2: for something and somebody said, what's the worst car you

226
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 2: ever fixed? And it was the eighty seven Thunderbird forty

227
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:38,680
Speaker 2: years ago, and I still I still remember that car.

228
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 4: Eric.

229
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:41,199
Speaker 2: I sat down and I went it was the same thing.

230
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 2: Somebody had replaced the engine. And I had to sit

231
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 2: down and go through every part and look at every

232
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:48,680
Speaker 2: part number on that vehicle. And I found one bad

233
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 2: fuel injector. And I'm not saying this is your problem.

234
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 2: Somebody had put a four cylinder fuel injector into a

235
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 2: V six and it has a different fuel flow rate

236
00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 2: and it caused the lean backfire on that one cylinder

237
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 2: cylinder or if I remember right, and you know, everybody

238
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 2: in the world looked at that car. It took me

239
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 2: two weeks, but I figured it out. But my point becomes,

240
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 2: you got to look back at everything. If this is

241
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 2: strictly related to engine replacement, right, you know, it's.

242
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 4: Well, I think that's about when it started, right, And then,

243
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:18,679
Speaker 4: like I.

244
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 2: Say, tell me what's good?

245
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 3: When?

246
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:24,439
Speaker 2: When when this thing is running normal? Right? How's I'm

247
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 2: gonna throw some words out there that I want you

248
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 2: to go back and talk to your mechanic about just

249
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 2: you know, I want to do heart rate and blood pressure,

250
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:34,199
Speaker 2: man volume, volumetric efficiency. I want to look at fuel trim.

251
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 2: I want to see where's engine vacuum. And then I

252
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 2: want to go through that instrument cluster. Why is that

253
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 2: gauge reading wrong? If the cluster was rebuilt, why doesn't

254
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 2: the why doesn't the oil pressure gauge read correctly? Right?

255
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 4: And and tell me anything except for that if he

256
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:55,440
Speaker 4: if he looks at it on his manual gauge, he

257
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 4: takes it and puts on it, it's it's good, okay.

258
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 4: And what if we've not turning on the check engine

259
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:03,560
Speaker 4: like he said, so that means it yeah.

260
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 2: Right, Well, well forget if it doesn't turn on the

261
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 2: check engine light, that just means that's one less place

262
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:10,080
Speaker 2: I have to look. Listen, what if we find out

263
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:11,960
Speaker 2: I'm getting I'm taking a shot here, and then I

264
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 2: got to go. What if we find out that the oil,

265
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 2: the oil, the blue wire coming off the oil pressure

266
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:19,319
Speaker 2: sinders pinched somewhere, and it's it's pulling the signal to

267
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 2: the ground, it's affecting the way the instrument cluster reacts,

268
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:23,480
Speaker 2: and it's the instrument cluster shuts down, the whole vehicle

269
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 2: shuts down. You know, I tend to look for if

270
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,319
Speaker 2: somebody's complaining about they can't run the one hundred in

271
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 2: four to four and they've got a limp, and they've

272
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 2: got a penny in the heel of their shoe and

273
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 2: it's causing them the limp. I tend to look for

274
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 2: the obvious problems before I start trying to recreate the wheel.

275
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 4: So tell me tell me they're they're looking at. I'll

276
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:45,719
Speaker 4: just say one more quick things. They're looking at the

277
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 4: bad clutch on the compressor.

278
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:53,960
Speaker 2: And is the clutch sure, okay, I could see that

279
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 2: causing the AC to shut down, But how is that

280
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 2: affecting the rest of the system. So you're telling me

281
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 2: if you unplug the AC compressor, have nowhere the car

282
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 2: won't ever shut off?

283
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 4: Right, I don't know. I don't know that.

284
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 2: Unplug it electrically. Unplugged the AC compressor electrically. Now the

285
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:13,160
Speaker 2: AC compressor it's just hanging out there, right, it's a

286
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:16,720
Speaker 2: place for the belt to run. Right, Okay, does the

287
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 2: car shut off? The car still shuts off. That ain't

288
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 2: a pardon my language. Okay, So call me back, let

289
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 2: me know what they say to this. Because there's there's

290
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:25,120
Speaker 2: there's a lot more here. We could talk for hours

291
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 2: about this car.

292
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 4: I love the car.

293
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:32,440
Speaker 2: There, I understand, I understand. You know, call me back,

Speaker 6: on the on the radio today. Hey, you know I

307
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 6: have I have a question. I purchased an O three

308
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 6: Malibu with sixty six thousand miles on it. I think

309
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 6: you and I would agree that's that's that's good low miles.

310
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 2: Sure.

311
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 6: Obviously I couldn't afford to go out and buy something

312
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 6: brand new, so I had to look into something you

313
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:30,440
Speaker 6: know used. You know a lot of them over have

314
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 6: over thirty thousand miles on them. When I wanted to

315
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 6: be in that price range. You know, after doing the

316
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 6: doing the water pump for one, did you think it

317
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:40,280
Speaker 6: was normal to do that water pump that early.

318
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 2: Well, this is a this is a this is a

319
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:47,360
Speaker 2: twenty two year old car. Joe. Yeah, you know, show

320
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 2: me and show me coolant service, you know, which you

321
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 2: can't because it's used. But you know how often was

322
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 2: cool and replaced? And then you know, if it was replaced,

323
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:57,320
Speaker 2: did they use correct stuff? What you could do? What

324
00:15:57,400 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 2: I would be concerned about, because I really I get

325
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 2: you it is a little on the early side, you know,

326
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 2: but I'd want to know what is the acidity of

327
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 2: the cooling system? Remember remember remember high school tenth grade

328
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 2: Mawa missus Klug and she had us through these litmus

329
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 2: paper test things where we dip the strip and we

330
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 2: looked at the acidity of the cooling system and well,

331
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 2: it's basically what you can do with of the of

332
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 2: the water. Well, you can do that with a cooling system.

333
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 2: You can test it for acidity and if the system

334
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:28,240
Speaker 2: reaches a certain pH level, if it's above it's it's

335
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 2: it's it's level that means that the system is rotting

336
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 2: from the inside out. So the new water pumps a

337
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:36,760
Speaker 2: great idea. But now here's the argument for why you

338
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 2: want to do a coolant service. Find a shop with

339
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 2: a machine that can do an exchange, use a good

340
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 2: quality coolant, you know, make sure they're using correct coolant, uh,

341
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 2: you know, And and this way the whole system is replaced.

342
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:51,920
Speaker 2: Because if the system is acidic, you know what's coming next,

343
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 2: right everything else? Sure, you know it'll be radiator, heater, core,

344
00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:58,840
Speaker 2: et cetera.

345
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 6: Would you use dex School or would you use Green

346
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:09,040
Speaker 6: anti freeze? Because I understand the chemical compound on both

347
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 6: of them is obviously different, and historically Green anti freeze

348
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:16,920
Speaker 6: was a easter way to go, and then over time

349
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:21,520
Speaker 6: I understand that car manufacturers changed everything over to a

350
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:24,720
Speaker 6: longer life to anti freeze with an acid based in

351
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 6: this case dex School.

352
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 2: If you asked me this question fifteen years ago, maybe

353
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 2: twenty years ago, I would tell you to stay with

354
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 2: I would tell you to go to Green. But the

355
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 2: technology has come such a long way. The original problem

356
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:42,960
Speaker 2: with dex school real Quick was that they found and

357
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:45,199
Speaker 2: they didn't realize when dex School first came out that

358
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 2: if the system had any sort of porosity and exposure

359
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 2: to outside air, weak radiator caps was the biggest problem.

360
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:55,159
Speaker 2: GM had that that extra oxygen created a culture inside

361
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:58,200
Speaker 2: the cooling system and caused dex school to break down.

362
00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:01,120
Speaker 2: That's what caused all the original x cool problems going

363
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 2: back to the late nineties early two thousands. But now

364
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:07,720
Speaker 2: radiator cap technology has gotten better, cooling system ceiling has

365
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 2: gotten better, and I would be using dex Cool. I'd

366
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 2: make sure I'm using a good brand. Peak comes to mind.

367
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:15,440
Speaker 2: We use Peak cooling in the shop all the time

368
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:18,200
Speaker 2: and it works really well, and it's engineered correctly and

369
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 2: it's balanced correctly. So use some Peak. Look at radiator cap,

370
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:26,480
Speaker 2: look at cooling system overall, do a litmus test. I

371
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:28,040
Speaker 2: think you'll be fine, Joe, but I want to know

372
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:30,399
Speaker 2: what that acidity is. That's first. I'm running ady in

373
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:31,959
Speaker 2: the card doctor. I'm back right after this.

374
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:46,320
Speaker 1: I don't know.

375
00:18:46,520 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 3: You want better. If that's the way, let's let's do

376
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 3: some email.

377
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 2: Let's go to let's go talk. Let's do this on

378
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:10,200
Speaker 2: Bob Bobrow. It's about a month old. I'm sorry, Bob

379
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 2: Bob in South Carolina. Ron love the show. I have

380
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:15,480
Speaker 2: a question about my nineteen ninety six F one fifty

381
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:18,399
Speaker 2: four by four intermittently my reman E four O D

382
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:21,480
Speaker 2: that I put in in twenty seventeen will sometimes turn

383
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 2: up line pressure and shift real heard. Then after it's

384
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 2: warmed up, it will slam into reverse while high line pressure. Sure,

385
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:29,399
Speaker 2: and ever since it was installed it has what I

386
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 2: call a rolling vibration until I put it in gear.

387
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:33,359
Speaker 2: But the worst part is that I'll be driving along

388
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:35,240
Speaker 2: and it will just lose all the gears, which is

389
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:37,600
Speaker 2: starting to happen more often, and your professional opinions, is

390
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 2: the trend starting to go out? Does he say how

391
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 2: many miles it's been, because obviously there's something internal here.

392
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:47,119
Speaker 2: Listen and Bob with no check engine light comes on

393
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 2: to see what happens. Usually after it messes up, I

394
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:50,920
Speaker 2: shut up. The insinetystarted will like normal for a while

395
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:53,200
Speaker 2: till the next time I've changed the fluid to novail.

396
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:55,280
Speaker 2: Thanks for your time. I'm just trying to determine if

397
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:56,879
Speaker 2: a new transit in order, if there might be affixed.

398
00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 2: It's a nice Southern truck, so it's worth putting in

399
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:01,960
Speaker 2: a new Reman. Well, a Reman is not new, but

400
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:06,200
Speaker 2: a different Reman transmission. Thanks again. I don't have a

401
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:08,240
Speaker 2: regular technician because the usually do my own work and maintenance.

402
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:11,080
Speaker 2: Bob in South Carolina, Yeah, I mean, listen, Bob, if

403
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 2: this is if this is a nice truck, and you know,

404
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:15,119
Speaker 2: if the Southern truck there's no rust or rot on it,

405
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:18,600
Speaker 2: you know, yeah, it's probably worth you know, fixing. Obviously,

406
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:21,360
Speaker 2: age doesn't bother me. He doesn't say anything about mileage,

407
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 2: but I'm going to assume it's got a couple of

408
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 2: miles on it.

409
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:24,239
Speaker 6: You know.

410
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:28,120
Speaker 2: Transmission work to me is always it's it's dicey, right,

411
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 2: what do you do? You know, do you do? You

412
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 2: start to go through it? You know, until you told

413
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:33,960
Speaker 2: me the part where you said if you turn the

414
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,479
Speaker 2: key on and off, it shifts, Okay, I was going

415
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:39,119
Speaker 2: to start to think, you know, are we losing internal pressure?

416
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:41,320
Speaker 2: Do we have a crack and a filter? You know,

417
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 2: is there an issue with the way the filter is

418
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:46,600
Speaker 2: seated with the tube and the seal itself, and surely

419
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:49,000
Speaker 2: you can go through and look at those things. The

420
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 2: thing I also think about is this is a ninety six,

421
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:53,040
Speaker 2: So this is let's see two thousand and six, as

422
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:56,919
Speaker 2: it's almost thirty years old. You know, when do we

423
00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:00,639
Speaker 2: have a problem getting parts? So do we spend six

424
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:03,480
Speaker 2: months trying to sort out this one? Or do we

425
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:07,399
Speaker 2: find a reliable source for a replacement and do the

426
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:10,439
Speaker 2: swap now while parts are available. As we know, you know,

427
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:13,360
Speaker 2: as things roll along, they're making less and less available

428
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:15,119
Speaker 2: for older vehicles, and that just seems to be the

429
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:19,159
Speaker 2: normal course of events right now. My one question is

430
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:22,400
Speaker 2: other question would be is this your only vehicle? Can

431
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 2: you lay this up? And if so, then yeah, I

432
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:27,120
Speaker 2: would take it apart and put it on the bench.

433
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:29,200
Speaker 2: It would nice. It would be nice to know what

434
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:32,280
Speaker 2: the failure was, and then you can make a decision

435
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:34,680
Speaker 2: because if the clutches and plates and everything looks good

436
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 2: and there's no signs of overheating, and this is just

437
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 2: maybe it's a torn seal. Maybe it's a problem you know,

438
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:44,280
Speaker 2: with a shift piston, something in the valve body, maybe

439
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:46,680
Speaker 2: a piece of sentiment, something somewhere. You know, how much

440
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 2: time do you want to put into this? You know,

441
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:52,720
Speaker 2: and even though you are your own technician, your time

442
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:53,520
Speaker 2: is worth something.

443
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:54,280
Speaker 4: You know.

444
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:58,400
Speaker 2: Most of the time, the answers for transmissions are pretty

445
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:00,879
Speaker 2: clear cut. You know, the vehicle comes in, it's got

446
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:02,920
Speaker 2: one hundred thousand miles on it since the trans was done,

447
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:04,720
Speaker 2: or it's got one hundred thousand miles on the unit

448
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:09,199
Speaker 2: it's kind of a labor intensive operation because it's a

449
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:11,399
Speaker 2: newer vehicle, so it's labor intensive getting it in and

450
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 2: out of the vehicle, and it just becomes a case

451
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 2: of put a unit in it. It doesn't pay to

452
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:18,280
Speaker 2: go through it, but in this case, it might pay

453
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 2: to go through it. But I'd also want to know

454
00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:23,640
Speaker 2: what my reman options are because then you run into this. Bob,

455
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:26,359
Speaker 2: Now listen to this if you're still out there. So

456
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:28,160
Speaker 2: I was going to talk a little bit this hour

457
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:30,760
Speaker 2: about the specificity of fluid. We had a twenty nineteen

458
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:33,960
Speaker 2: Jeep Cherokee in the shop this week and it was

459
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 2: due for It had ninety two thousand miles on it.

460
00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:37,840
Speaker 2: We did an oil change and we did some breakwork

461
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:41,040
Speaker 2: to it, and then it was due for some fluids. Well,

462
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:45,159
Speaker 2: the rear dip fluid is something very specific. It's just

463
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:49,440
Speaker 2: something we've never encountered before. As required by Chrysler, has

464
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:51,800
Speaker 2: to be ordered special out of the dealer, and we

465
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:53,400
Speaker 2: were about to do that, and then we talked about

466
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:55,879
Speaker 2: servicing the trans and this is a front wheels, an

467
00:22:55,920 --> 00:23:00,840
Speaker 2: oil wheel drive CVET trans in a Cherokee, and they

468
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:06,400
Speaker 2: have a really again specific fluid and we need special

469
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:09,159
Speaker 2: tools to check the fluid level and so forth. But

470
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 2: what got me was, you know, if you want to

471
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:14,840
Speaker 2: change the filter to the point about Bob and his

472
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:16,320
Speaker 2: truck about you know, do you look at the filter

473
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:18,720
Speaker 2: to pickup you have to pull the trans out of

474
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 2: the truck, and they want you to take the trends

475
00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:24,920
Speaker 2: out of the out of the jeep, split the case

476
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 2: and then you can get to the filter and put

477
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 2: it all back together. And you know, it's it's going

478
00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:31,160
Speaker 2: to come down to the point where there's no way

479
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:33,600
Speaker 2: to check fluid level on a new vehicle. There's there's

480
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 2: and this is not the first time I've seen this.

481
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 2: Changing or replacing filters is reached the level where it's

482
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:45,480
Speaker 2: just not worth it. You know, when do we just

483
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:48,479
Speaker 2: start swapping trans is as assemblies? And is that what

484
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:52,159
Speaker 2: they want? And brings me back to the point of

485
00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:55,800
Speaker 2: and certain vehicles I think changing fluid is worthwhile some

486
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:58,200
Speaker 2: vehicles I don't think it does anything anymore. I think

487
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:02,440
Speaker 2: these things all have projected license and it's not getting

488
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 2: any simpler. And brings me back to my open the

489
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:11,439
Speaker 2: cost of diagnosis, and sometimes you know when you're diagnosing something,

490
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:14,440
Speaker 2: what goes through your mind is not necessarily what's bad,

491
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:18,080
Speaker 2: but what's good? You know, what do I know that works?

492
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:21,200
Speaker 2: And you know what else can I do to prove

493
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:23,639
Speaker 2: what I'm doing? You know, when I talked about in

494
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:26,360
Speaker 2: a recent show, I talked about that twenty fifteen Toyota

495
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:30,359
Speaker 2: TA Coma diagnostics led me to could it be in

496
00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:34,200
Speaker 2: a mobilizer problem where the system was going into fuel

497
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:36,400
Speaker 2: cut where it wasn't turning on the fuel pump because

498
00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:39,200
Speaker 2: it saw an issue with either the key or an

499
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 2: engine condition something like that. But when I realized I

500
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:45,359
Speaker 2: had correct voltage in the circuit, I knew a mobilizer

501
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 2: wasn't being activated. But I'd have to test the wiring

502
00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:51,000
Speaker 2: the way I did. I'd have to test the circuit

503
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:53,760
Speaker 2: to know that it worked. I can't and I did not,

504
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:58,639
Speaker 2: and I cannot simply rely upon scan tool diagnostics by itself.

505
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:01,199
Speaker 2: A scan tool gathers data, and in the case of

506
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:05,439
Speaker 2: that Toyota, the data it was gathering was incorrect. And

507
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:08,400
Speaker 2: it brings me down to what kind of time does

508
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:12,640
Speaker 2: this take? And it costs money to do all this unfortunately,

509
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:15,280
Speaker 2: And that's what I think people are having a real

510
00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:18,400
Speaker 2: problem with, and I feel for them. But you know,

511
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:21,640
Speaker 2: the vehicle has gotten so complex and so involved that

512
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:26,040
Speaker 2: you know, the specificity is a good word. The specificity

513
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:29,159
Speaker 2: of repairing these things has gotten more and more complicated.

514
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:31,359
Speaker 2: And I think we're going to see a complete shift

515
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 2: in how order repairs performed in the next ten years.

516
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:37,640
Speaker 2: And I think you're going to see more vehicle replacement.

517
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:40,879
Speaker 2: I think you're going to see less maintenance going forward.

518
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:42,840
Speaker 2: And it's just going to get to a certain number

519
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:45,919
Speaker 2: of miles and you're going to throw it away and

520
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:47,640
Speaker 2: then they'll be on a campaign as to what they

521
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:49,240
Speaker 2: do with all these extra car parts that they don't

522
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 2: know what to do with. So we'll see, we'll see.

523
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:54,359
Speaker 2: Let's pull over to take a pause. I'm ronning Ny

545
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:06,960
Speaker 2: I never missed an episode, Blake, there you go. Hey Tom,

546
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:10,680
Speaker 2: you got button itis today? Okay there Tom, No computers

547
00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:12,600
Speaker 2: are acting up. We're gonna imagine that if it was

548
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 2: a car. Ron Love Your Show, never missed an episode.

549
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:17,480
Speaker 2: My wife and I recently purchased the twenty fifteen Honda

550
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 2: Honesty with a hernred twenty six thousand miles. The timing

551
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:22,200
Speaker 2: belt was supposed to have been replaced at one hundred

552
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:24,320
Speaker 2: thousand miles. I took the van to our trusted mechanic,

553
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:26,960
Speaker 2: who replaced the belt and also did a slew of

554
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:30,200
Speaker 2: other deferred maintenance. My question is the timing belt Kitty

555
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 2: installed was a Daco brand. Looking online, many people say

556
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:34,919
Speaker 2: they only use Honda Genuine or A's and brand parts.

557
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:38,359
Speaker 2: What's your experience and advice on this, Denny. You know, Denny,

558
00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:40,439
Speaker 2: I have a problem with Daco. I won't be surprised

559
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:43,000
Speaker 2: if Daco makes the belts for Honda. You know, Daco

560
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:44,480
Speaker 2: makes a lot of a week part, So I have

561
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:47,200
Speaker 2: no problem with Daco brand as a as a timing

562
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:50,919
Speaker 2: belt kit. You know, we use their product in the shop.

563
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:54,840
Speaker 2: We've done some original Honda, We've done some Dayco. Sometimes

564
00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:58,960
Speaker 2: it's parts availability, sometimes it's price points. Sometimes it's customer

565
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:01,879
Speaker 2: specificity of what they want. But I don't even blink.

566
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:04,719
Speaker 2: I would just be fine with the Dayco product there.

567
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:07,840
Speaker 2: You know, I don't have an issue, you know how,

568
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:11,800
Speaker 2: I know Daco was and is a great product. You'll

569
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:15,960
Speaker 2: laugh at this, right, I remember, It's got to be

570
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:18,439
Speaker 2: fifteen years ago and I still see it. I was

571
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:21,160
Speaker 2: putting gas in one of my cars at the time.

572
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:24,080
Speaker 2: I was at the pumps and the rubber hose. Look

573
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:28,200
Speaker 2: at the rubber hose of the gas station. Daco Daco

574
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:30,399
Speaker 2: is so good. They make the rubber hose for gas pumps.

575
00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:33,119
Speaker 2: So if they can make the rubber hose for gas pumps,

576
00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:35,600
Speaker 2: guess what they can make rubber for your car to

577
00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:37,879
Speaker 2: do what it's supposed to do. I just thought it

578
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:40,720
Speaker 2: was interesting what a diverse company they are. But yeah,

579
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:42,960
Speaker 2: that's that's what I think of DICO. I think you'll

580
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 2: be fine, so but I appreciate the inquiry. There's a

581
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 2: bunch of email today. Let's see. Here's one from uh

582
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:53,200
Speaker 2: oh Michael. I think I think Michael's uh. I think

583
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 2: you can start the new chapter of the fan club. Ron,

584
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:57,240
Speaker 2: not really a problem. I'd be here all day. I

585
00:28:57,360 --> 00:28:58,840
Speaker 2: love to try. I love to try and figure out

586
00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:00,440
Speaker 2: things on my own. Not a lot lot of people

587
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 2: I really trust. We'll have to work on that. Michael.

588
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:04,360
Speaker 2: I heard your podcast and now I'm hooked. I can't

589
00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:05,920
Speaker 2: wait to run into my next car problem so I

590
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:08,600
Speaker 2: can call. Thanks for having this show, sincerely, Michael. We'd

591
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:11,200
Speaker 2: love to have you. We appreciate questions from everybody, and

592
00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:13,240
Speaker 2: good bad are in different We always like talking to

593
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:16,560
Speaker 2: everybody and seeing what's on their mind, so we appreciate

594
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:19,880
Speaker 2: the comments. Hey, Ron, great show. We listen on Sunday mornings.

595
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:23,520
Speaker 2: We're a one point three vom. Your systematic approach to

596
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:26,480
Speaker 2: problem solving is essential to make repairs economical and awesome.

597
00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 2: The subaru we have has one hundred and thirty two

598
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:30,560
Speaker 2: thousand miles on it't your advice? Please? Should I or

599
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:33,480
Speaker 2: should I not use? If you'll inject your cleaner in

600
00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:35,240
Speaker 2: the vehicle as a maintenance procedure. If so, do you

601
00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:38,000
Speaker 2: recommend a brand? Thanks for all the advice you put

602
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:40,440
Speaker 2: out there on the radio, ways needed or not. It's

603
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:43,120
Speaker 2: awesome to hear very interesting Scott and deb up there

604
00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:47,080
Speaker 2: in otis Field main Well, you know, are we talking about,

605
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:50,520
Speaker 2: you know, a tank additive. If we're talking about a

606
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:54,160
Speaker 2: tank additive, I really like Berryman B twelve kem tool

607
00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:57,840
Speaker 2: with hest with their high energy solving technology. You know,

608
00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:00,320
Speaker 2: you know what really gets me on them and again

609
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:03,320
Speaker 2: you know tank edit as technology changes, but I think

610
00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:06,760
Speaker 2: Berryman stayed at the top of their game because you know,

611
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 2: it really gets me is if you go out to

612
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:10,120
Speaker 2: their website Berman Products dot com and you have to

613
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:12,320
Speaker 2: look through a little bit, there's a video there of

614
00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:15,160
Speaker 2: showing their product against everybody else. This is the only

615
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:18,720
Speaker 2: one that melts styrofoam. I'm not sure where that where

616
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:21,120
Speaker 2: that stands in relation to carbon, but I've got to

617
00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:23,000
Speaker 2: think if it can melt styrofoam, it probably does a

618
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:24,840
Speaker 2: heck of a job on carbon and an engine too,

619
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:27,520
Speaker 2: so really strong caustic stuff. I think that's what you

620
00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:30,719
Speaker 2: want if you're talking about getting a fuel system cleaning,

621
00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:34,920
Speaker 2: having somebody do it, you know, on a regular basis. BG.

622
00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:37,680
Speaker 2: Get out to bgfind ashop dot com and have a

623
00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:41,520
Speaker 2: BG full system fuel system cleaning done by a professional.

624
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:44,200
Speaker 2: I think that's a good idea. Also, I think tank

625
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:47,320
Speaker 2: added is are good as a monthly maintenance type of

626
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:51,200
Speaker 2: a thing, and then an annual or every eighteen months,

627
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:54,160
Speaker 2: depending on how much you drive, where you live, and

628
00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:56,280
Speaker 2: what kind of vehicle you know. To do a BG

629
00:30:56,480 --> 00:31:00,720
Speaker 2: fuel system cleaning every eighteen months I think is also

630
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:04,560
Speaker 2: mandatory because I think fuel system cleaning is an issue.

631
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:06,640
Speaker 2: It's you know, it's all part of the problems that

632
00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:09,720
Speaker 2: we're facing every day with this And I hate this

633
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:12,120
Speaker 2: kind of an email. This comes to us from Clara.

634
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:15,680
Speaker 2: Clara writes in Ron recently was told by my trusted mechanic,

635
00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:18,120
Speaker 2: my turbo charger is leaking oil on my twenty fourteen

636
00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:20,480
Speaker 2: escape with one hundred and twenty three thousand miles on

637
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:23,280
Speaker 2: it. It's thirty five hundred dollars. I trust my mechanic, but

638
00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:25,000
Speaker 2: the age of the car where we've may please help,

639
00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:29,480
Speaker 2: you know, Clara, the problem here isn't whether the turbo's

640
00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:32,640
Speaker 2: leaking oil. I'm sure it is, you know, at that mileage,

641
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:34,520
Speaker 2: it's to be expected. The thing I hate about this is,

642
00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:36,640
Speaker 2: you know, I wish they made cars without turbos for

643
00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:39,840
Speaker 2: reasons like this, because here's somebody with another wise fairly

644
00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:43,400
Speaker 2: reliable car that's faced with a major repair because of something.

645
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:45,320
Speaker 2: And it probably doesn't matter to Clara whether she can

646
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:47,480
Speaker 2: go zero to sixty and three point two seconds or

647
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:49,920
Speaker 2: whatever the magic number is. She just wants to get

648
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:52,720
Speaker 2: to work and groceries and church and you know, everyday vehicles.

649
00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:55,560
Speaker 2: But it's so hard to find something non turbo anymore.

650
00:31:56,160 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 2: So you know, the question I've got is it's it's what, Clara,

651
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:04,280
Speaker 2: what if you put this turbo on and the transmission

652
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:08,000
Speaker 2: were to fail, and what if the head gast were

653
00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:11,120
Speaker 2: you know, there's a bunch of potential failures here. Thirty

654
00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:13,880
Speaker 2: five hundred dollars in the Grand scheme of things is

655
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 2: not a lot of money. When you look at a car,

656
00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:21,040
Speaker 2: they say twenty five thousand is entry level used car.

657
00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:23,080
Speaker 2: Now it's you don't find much for less than that,

658
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:28,400
Speaker 2: and new vehicles, you know, thirty five forty, it's it's

659
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:32,080
Speaker 2: really starting to push the numbers. So my bigger concern

660
00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:33,960
Speaker 2: would be what kind of shape is the rest of

661
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:37,240
Speaker 2: the vehicle in. Don't just look at what's bad, what's good?

662
00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:40,400
Speaker 2: And what does your mechanic give for a projected you know,

663
00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:43,280
Speaker 2: what's his feeling about the car? And you know, I

664
00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:45,240
Speaker 2: realize that's a hard spot to put a mechanic in.

665
00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:47,680
Speaker 2: I go through this all the time. I tell everybody, look,

666
00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:50,320
Speaker 2: I've got no crystal ball. But as a general rule,

667
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:54,360
Speaker 2: these cars last X and a lot of that will

668
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:56,520
Speaker 2: depend on what sort of maintenance you've done or you've

669
00:32:56,520 --> 00:32:58,560
Speaker 2: allowed the mechanic to do, as far as oil changes

670
00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:01,320
Speaker 2: and other fluids filters and so forth. So, but I

671
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:03,640
Speaker 2: think more advice is needed there as far as what

672
00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:06,120
Speaker 2: kind of shape the cars and Clara good luck eight

673
00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:08,840
Speaker 2: five five five six zero nine nine zero zero running

674
00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:10,520
Speaker 2: any of the car. Doctor. I'll be back right after this.

675
00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:23,080
Speaker 7: I came a first real sistering out the father and done,

676
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:29,520
Speaker 7: It's in my fingers. Play was the summer of sixteen.

677
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:35,800
Speaker 2: Wow, where did two hours of radio go? It just

678
00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:39,000
Speaker 2: flies by each hour, and each hour brings me closer

679
00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:42,200
Speaker 2: to next week, and speaking of next week, conveniently as

680
00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:46,640
Speaker 2: we segue into that next week, I'm telling you, you know,

681
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:49,800
Speaker 2: I had to stop Jared Wilson from talking during our

682
00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:53,080
Speaker 2: pre interview conversation because he's got so much to say.

683
00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:56,520
Speaker 2: I don't want him to waste it. When he talks about,

684
00:33:56,920 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 2: you know, these farm tractors breaking down and how John

685
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:04,760
Speaker 2: Deer requires proprietary information that nobody on the outside can

686
00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:07,880
Speaker 2: really have access to in such a capacity that they

687
00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:12,360
Speaker 2: can properly fix their tractors. You know, the concern becomes.

688
00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:14,279
Speaker 2: And Jared was explaining this to me. He recently had

689
00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:15,800
Speaker 2: a soybean crop that he had to bring in. I

690
00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:17,640
Speaker 2: don't know if it was this year, last year, when

691
00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:19,759
Speaker 2: it was within the last couple of years, and he

692
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:21,200
Speaker 2: said he was in the middle of bringing in the

693
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:25,640
Speaker 2: soybean crop and the tractor broke and it was sure,

694
00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:27,640
Speaker 2: bring it in, we'll see it in a couple of weeks.

695
00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:30,799
Speaker 2: In the meantime, and my question is, how do you

696
00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:33,360
Speaker 2: move a tractor that's like the size of a of

697
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:36,360
Speaker 2: the average two story house out of the middle of

698
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:39,440
Speaker 2: three hundred acres and drag it down the road to

699
00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:44,400
Speaker 2: the tractor dealership without ruining the crop and you know,

700
00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:46,359
Speaker 2: without driving over the crop, right, And then I want

701
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:47,600
Speaker 2: to know, how do you do it and get it

702
00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:49,200
Speaker 2: back in time so that you can pick the crop.

703
00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:53,240
Speaker 2: You know, we've got to realize that technology is reaching

704
00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:55,319
Speaker 2: the point now. And I get it, this is all

705
00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:58,360
Speaker 2: in the interest of clean air, but technology is reaching

706
00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:01,880
Speaker 2: the point where it's starting to hurt us because you know,

707
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:04,200
Speaker 2: when we find out A we can't fix these things

708
00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:06,960
Speaker 2: in a timely manner and b we can't get parts

709
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:09,680
Speaker 2: for them in a timely manner. See, we're not gonna

710
00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:12,800
Speaker 2: have anything to eat. And one of the things Jared

711
00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:14,799
Speaker 2: said to me which really kind of struck a nerve,

712
00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:20,160
Speaker 2: is he said, farmers are subsidized by the American taxpayer

713
00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:23,160
Speaker 2: because of the high cost of farming, but we need

714
00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:26,080
Speaker 2: it in order to survive and be there. It's a catches,

715
00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:29,120
Speaker 2: catch can situation and we got to take a hard

716
00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:30,839
Speaker 2: look at this. So coming up next week, we're gonna

717
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:34,080
Speaker 2: interview Jared Wilson. We've also got the boys from opis

718
00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:36,719
Speaker 2: IVS are stopping by with their latest scan tool to

719
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:40,200
Speaker 2: talk about scan tools and artificial intelligence. You knew it

720
00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:42,600
Speaker 2: was coming. They're first to market with it. Anyway, that

721
00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:44,319
Speaker 2: and so much more. I'm running neat in a part

722
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:48,080
Speaker 2: doctor till then. The mechanics aren't expensive, they're priceless. See

723
00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:49,359
Speaker 2: you
