Speaker 1: Ron and an Ian talking to the customer has to

2
00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:07,360
Speaker 1: be part of the research, and good explanations always helped

3
00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:15,319
Speaker 1: bring a bad problem vehicle to a quicker diagnosis. That

4
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:18,880
Speaker 1: car doctor, tell me what's good, you'll figure out what's bad. Right,

5
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:21,599
Speaker 1: Ron is um w W r D. What would Ron do?

6
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:23,040
Speaker 1: He hit it with a hammer and go get a

7
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:26,400
Speaker 1: slice of pizza. Welcome to the radio home of Ron

00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 1: just lit up and backed up from here to well

16
00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 1: at least the end of the street. So let's without

17
00:00:58,160 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 1: any further ado, let's open up the phone lines. Go

18
00:00:59,920 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 1: to Garth in California. Oh five Nissan Garth. Welcome aboard.

19
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:07,679
Speaker 1: How can I help? Hey Ron, Good afternoon. Yeah, I

20
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 1: got a question. I got a two thousand seven h

21
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 1: Nissan Versa. UM it's a five door I've turned it

22
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 1: into a turn it into a travel trailer. But I

23
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:18,320
Speaker 1: need to be able to open and close the weir

24
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 1: hatch on it. It only has an electronic little little

25
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 1: little weeny little motor in the back of it. Is

26
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:27,320
Speaker 1: there some type of mechanical latch that I can put

27
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 1: on it from another vehicle so that I can operate

28
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 1: the vehicle open and close the door? Now, you know,

29
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 1: not that I'm aware, and I actually get this on

30
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:37,679
Speaker 1: on a couple of the Nissans. Because Nissan is now

31
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:41,760
Speaker 1: down to one key, You're depending upon little electric motors, uh,

32
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 1: you know, to open and close the doors, the latches,

33
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 1: the hatches. It's it's kind of pathetic that. Um, it's

34
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 1: come down to that now, I you know, listen, I'm

35
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 1: sure something could be done. What if you disconnected the

36
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 1: solenoid and then you just have to come up with

37
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 1: a way to grab the latch, Maybe by a pull

38
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 1: cable if you know, I guess a poll cable maybe, um,

39
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 1: but outside the car that anybody could get into the vehicle,

40
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 1: I don't know if that matters. I don't know where

41
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:08,640
Speaker 1: you park it at night. You know, security is an issue,

42
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 1: but you know, anything can be converted. Um. But yeah,

43
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 1: I understand, believe me. I don't believe any Nissan's that

44
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 1: generation came with manual latch. That's not to say that,

45
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 1: you know, you found something in a salvage yard from

46
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 1: a different generation Nissan that bolted up. You know, a

47
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 1: latch is a latch, But then how would you open it.

48
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:31,080
Speaker 1: You have to have a key set up right to

49
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 1: get in there to trip it to So you're back

50
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 1: to a poll cable, you know, um, which I guess

51
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 1: you could do. Um. You know it's it's you know,

52
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 1: it's just where do you want to do it? And

53
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 1: how far do you want to get? If you get creative,

54
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 1: I'm sure you can figure out something. Oh sorry, not

55
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 1: about okay. Another question I had was I've got a block.

56
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 1: It's a nineteen eighties Chevy block. It's a four cylinder

57
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 1: inline free leader, and I want to turn it into

58
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,799
Speaker 1: a dummy motor. Um. I want to take up I've

59
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,360
Speaker 1: got it the interior of it, making stuff smaller. But

60
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:08,839
Speaker 1: I want to find out how I can cut, make

61
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:12,800
Speaker 1: the motor smaller, make it lighter. Um, I'm hearing. Because

62
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 1: it's cast iron, I have to use or go to

63
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 1: a plasma cutter. What are we thinking here? I'm thinking

64
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 1: of the heads and the block, which which engine is this?

65
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 1: It's just a it's a little three leader GMC inline four.

66
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 1: I'm just curious. Why do you want to lighten it?

67
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 1: Trying to mock make a mock up for something you're building. Yeah, yeah,

68
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 1: I've got a v W I'm making a project that.

69
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 1: It's a VW motor in the back of it, and

70
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 1: I don't have a motor for the front of it.

71
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 1: Someone gave me this motor. I'm gonna gut it and

72
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 1: put it on the front of it. It has marine

73
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 1: application stuff on it that I want to keep on

74
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 1: it so that it will look even better, because normally

75
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 1: you don't see that stuff. So you want to you

76
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 1: want to lighten it but still keep it functioning. No, no,

77
00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 1: absolutely no, it doesn't need to function at all. It's

78
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 1: gonna be a dummy more. I'm going through what I'm

79
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 1: getting the alternator turned into a motor so that that'll

80
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 1: spin the problem and the rest of that. But the

81
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 1: rest of the more is going to be empty. Okay, Um, yeah,

82
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 1: I believe you're gonna need a plasma cutter, and then

83
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 1: it's just you know, cut away until you get to

84
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 1: the part you don't want people to see, and leave

85
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 1: the exterior as it should appear. Why not you know, Um,

86
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:20,360
Speaker 1: I don't know how much. I don't know how much.

87
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 1: I want to know how much you're gonna gain getting

88
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,159
Speaker 1: out of the heads, because I think you're gonna find,

89
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:26,719
Speaker 1: for example, when you cut the head, you're gonna cut

90
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:29,040
Speaker 1: only so far up to the well. I guess you

91
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 1: just cut the whole center out of the head and

92
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:32,600
Speaker 1: put a dummy valve cover in place. What difference does

93
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 1: it make? You know? Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I

94
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 1: don't I don't need the valves and all the rest

95
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 1: of the crap in there, right, Yeah, okay, sure, go ahead,

96
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 1: Yeah that makes sense. And then, um, you know the block,

97
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:43,799
Speaker 1: you're just gonna cut out the webbing where the crank

98
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 1: would ride, and you know, whatever guts you can get

99
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:49,919
Speaker 1: to and just lighten it out that way. I was

100
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 1: thinking of keeping the I wanted to keep the cranking

101
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:53,719
Speaker 1: it because I still need to pull you on it.

102
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 1: Go back about go past the second journal and just

103
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:57,920
Speaker 1: cut the rist of it off. I don't need the

104
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 1: cam in it. That was would be pretty simple. I

105
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 1: just want to make sure how what was the best

106
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:06,039
Speaker 1: way to go through and cut does? Does it need

107
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 1: to function in any capacity? Well, you're gonna have something

108
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:13,040
Speaker 1: in the front of it turning something, right, You said, Well, yeah,

109
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 1: I want to put the alternator back on it, turn

110
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 1: that into electric motor. I find out how to get

111
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 1: that rewired, and then it will run the fan and

112
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,919
Speaker 1: the crank. It will make it look like it's running.

113
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 1: And that was another thing, was the run a set

114
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 1: of exhaust. It got a b W motor in the back.

115
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 1: Can I put an exhaust cut out in the back

116
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:33,480
Speaker 1: and run the louder exhaust up to the front motor

117
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:37,840
Speaker 1: and make it sound like that motors running. Well, you

118
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 1: have to. You have to plumb. You have to plumb

119
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 1: the exhaust backwards up through the car and then put

120
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:47,600
Speaker 1: your cut out up front. Yeah you could. Yeah, you

121
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 1: got a lot of time. You've got a lot of

122
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 1: time on your hand. I don't how don't we? Well? Yeah, um, so, hey,

123
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 1: how can we send you pictures of projects or to

124
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 1: use that's something that you don't do. No, you can

125
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 1: send it to me Ron at car doctor show dot com.

126
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 1: Shoot me an email rightly. We'll probably put it up

127
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,039
Speaker 1: on the website before you go away. One last thought.

128
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 1: You wonder you wonder if you took that bare block

129
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 1: to somebody, Um, you wonder if they could, you know,

130
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 1: with the way we use computers and imagery today, if

131
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:20,600
Speaker 1: you could. What would it take to create a an

132
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,359
Speaker 1: aluminum casting of that block? I don't know what the

133
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 1: cost perspective would be, but if they just put that

134
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 1: in a in a seody, put it in a sand

135
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 1: mold and just cast, you know, then it's then there's

136
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 1: nothing to Or you could go through and you could

137
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 1: get one of those. You could get a plastic one.

138
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:38,360
Speaker 1: And I don't want that something that you know, that

139
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 1: could be done later, but I want the real meal deal,

140
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 1: you know. Um, just just just just a yeah, no,

141
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 1: I understand, I understand you want to get that in there?

142
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 1: Keep me post kind of a yeah, I got the time,

143
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:54,720
Speaker 1: not the money, don't yeah, yeah, um, kind of an

144
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 1: interesting project. I like the way you're thinking, you two, sir.

145
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:01,599
Speaker 1: Be well, let's get on over to Mark. Unless see

146
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 1: what's going on here? Mark? Welcome aboard, sir, How can

147
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 1: I help Hi? Run? It's good to talk to you again. Um. Yeah.

148
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 1: A couple of months ago my wife started having that

149
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 1: her check engine light come on intermittently, like you know,

150
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 1: twenty seconds or so, and she noticed a car was

151
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 1: kind of vibrating. It sounds like an intermittent misfire. So

152
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 1: we after about three or four times of this um

153
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 1: and I tried to hook up a scan tool. I

154
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 1: could not get any code or anything on it. So

155
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 1: we took it to the dealership. They did a software update.

156
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 1: Of course, the light didn't come on when they had it,

157
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 1: so they said there was a TSB or something and

158
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 1: they so they did a software update, got the car back,

159
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 1: and it did it again about a week later. So

160
00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 1: you know, I know this is like every mechanics nightmare

161
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:03,679
Speaker 1: for under Mark. Yeah, it's a two lead four cylinder.

162
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 1: And I was just wondering, is it okay if I

163
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 1: plugged in my scan too. I've got a Bosch scan tool,

164
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 1: and just let her drive it will will? The code

165
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 1: show was some kind of a code show up. What

166
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 1: do you what level scan tool do you have? Kiddo?

167
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 1: Do you have the ability to do you have the

168
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 1: ability to go in and look at what we call

169
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 1: mode six? You know, I don't, I don't know. It's

170
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 1: a it's a Bosch scan tool. I know, I get

171
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 1: live data on it, but they tell me, they told

172
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 1: me when I took it into the dealership that there

173
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 1: was no code in history. Now, I always thought when

174
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:40,320
Speaker 1: the light came on, it stored a code somewhere. It

175
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 1: should Did the light come on it, Well, it came

176
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,719
Speaker 1: It didn't come on when they were there. Did it

177
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 1: come on? Did it come on? When? Did it come

178
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 1: on when she was driving it? Yes? Yes, And it

179
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 1: came on one time I was driving it on the

180
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 1: freeway and the light came on stayed on for about

181
00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 1: twenty seconds. It felt like the car was writing on gravel.

182
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 1: It was kind of a rough field. And how long

183
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:06,079
Speaker 1: after and how long after you you know, the light

184
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 1: came on and off? How long after how many turns

185
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 1: of the key do you think it was before you

186
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 1: took it to the dealer or you scanned it? Um?

187
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:18,320
Speaker 1: I don't know, probably two or three weeks? Okay, okay,

188
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 1: So so here's what happened, all right, the vehicle, the

189
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:23,440
Speaker 1: light was on, the light was on, the light was

190
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 1: out all right, although it should have been it should

191
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:30,680
Speaker 1: have stored something in history, all right, I'm surprised. But

192
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 1: rather than listen rather than second guess why it did

193
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 1: or didn't store a code. Let's do this, see if

194
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:38,559
Speaker 1: your scan tool has mode six data. All right, if

195
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 1: it has mode six data, go do some reading on that,

196
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 1: because it take me the next hour to go through

197
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:46,560
Speaker 1: it with you, and I can't do that right now.

198
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 1: But but mode six is basically the computer's interpretation of

199
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 1: the individual tests that does to determine whether or not

200
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 1: to turn on a code. My guess is if if

201
00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 1: it's a misfire, my guess is you're going to see

202
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,960
Speaker 1: data in mode six that indicates which of the four

203
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 1: cylinders is possibly misfiring. It will show you test data pass, fail,

204
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 1: minimum value, maximum value, that kind of thing. So let's

205
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:11,839
Speaker 1: talk about that. Let's go look at that number one,

206
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 1: number two. The that generation Hyundai is known issues cylinder

207
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:21,960
Speaker 1: head problems, especially problems with valve seats falling out of

208
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 1: the head at random. All right, So yeah, it's you know,

209
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 1: it's just one of the things they do. The dealers

210
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 1: should start talking about if if they start to see

211
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 1: misfire issues, they should start to talk to you about

212
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 1: a doing compression tests, be doing cylinder leakdown tests, looking

213
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:43,080
Speaker 1: for air leakage and then possibly replacing the head end

214
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 1: or the motor. Do those couple of things. Do those tests.

215
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 1: Let's see if it let's see if it develops into

216
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 1: anything else. Call me back next week. All right, kiddo. Okay,

217
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 1: you're very welcome. Mark. I'm sorry to cut your shirt.

218
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:55,559
Speaker 1: We just got a busy day today. I appreciate your understanding,

219
00:10:55,960 --> 00:11:00,120
Speaker 1: so you'll be well. Zero the car Doctor's crew and

220
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 1: back right after this. Don't go away number good time.

221
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 1: Right it on the wall so you don't forget to

222
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 1: call for car advice. Done right? Eight five five five

223
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 1: zero nine zero zero. Now back to row. Hey, let's

224
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 1: get over to Joseph and Kansas. Some questions about I

225
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:30,959
Speaker 1: know for Chevy Colorado. Joseph, Welcome to the car doctice, sir.

226
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 1: How can I help? Hey? Ron? How's it going? Good Man?

227
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 1: Good Man? What's cooking? Oh? Well, we just bought this

228
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:44,359
Speaker 1: two thousand and four Chevy Colorado. It is a inline

229
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 1: five cylinder, I believe, and yeah, we were just wondering

230
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 1: what odds and ens and what we need to be

231
00:11:55,920 --> 00:12:00,440
Speaker 1: watching now for on most vehicle it has a hundred

232
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 1: and sixty or six thousand original miles, So you know,

233
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:10,080
Speaker 1: first thing that comes to mind is, you know, do

234
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 1: you know the service history of the vehicle or do

235
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:16,960
Speaker 1: you just purchased it? You know? All right, So then

236
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 1: it's it's a game of let's let's if it's wet,

237
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 1: let's change it. Whatever fluid it is, all right, at

238
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:28,440
Speaker 1: least just start fresh automatic or stick at al right,

239
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 1: if it's wet, change it if it's If it's an automatic,

240
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 1: let's look at the condition of the fluid first, all right.

241
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 1: Is the fluid black and thin as you rubbing between

242
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 1: your thumb and fore finger, does it look you know, reddish, pinkish?

243
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 1: Is it? Is it pink? But it's got a little

244
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 1: bit of a smell to it. And the reason I

245
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,839
Speaker 1: say that is because understand the one thing that can

246
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 1: get you in trouble, and you need to know this

247
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:54,080
Speaker 1: going in. It's sort of like, you know, the job

248
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:56,720
Speaker 1: was dangerous when you took it. It's that speech, um,

249
00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 1: you know, but you took it anyway. Is if the

250
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 1: fluid in the trans has a little bit of a

251
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 1: smell to it, if it's discolored, if it looks like

252
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:08,200
Speaker 1: it was overheated, obviously, if it's got particulate in it,

253
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:12,440
Speaker 1: then changing it can sometimes aggravate the situation and close

254
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 1: trans failure. But then you've got to ask yourself, you know,

255
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 1: when do you want to have the trans failure when

256
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:20,960
Speaker 1: you least expect it, or when you're watching out for

257
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:24,320
Speaker 1: it and you know it's it's and and And that's

258
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:26,439
Speaker 1: not to say that the eighteen year old vehicle with

259
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 1: a hundred and sixty six thousand miles on it can't

260
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:31,680
Speaker 1: have a trans failure next week just by virtue of age.

261
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 1: You know, fluids and maintenance just puts the odds in

262
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:39,400
Speaker 1: your favor, all right, And and that's what's kind of important.

263
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:42,080
Speaker 1: That's you know, that's what you're really trying to do.

264
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 1: You're just trying to put the odds in your favor

265
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:48,200
Speaker 1: on your side of the scale, all right. So, but

266
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:50,960
Speaker 1: a good starting point becomes, if it's wet, change it.

267
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 1: If the trans fluid looks like it will withhold it,

268
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:55,719
Speaker 1: change it. If the trans fluid looks really beat up,

269
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 1: my opinion, I change it. But I'm prepared to put

270
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 1: a trans ends in it, which obviously I have to

271
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:04,440
Speaker 1: be because I just bought this eighteen year old Hends

272
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:06,679
Speaker 1: six thousand mile vehicle. I've got to be prepared that

273
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 1: you know, some things are gonna fil timing chain or

274
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 1: timing belt that should be a chain motor. All right, okay,

275
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 1: so yeah, not necessarily a concern. They generally don't fail.

276
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 1: What goes bad, You don't want to know what goes

277
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 1: bad on those engines. Usually it's it's it's head gaskets

278
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 1: for the heads crack. Um. That was that was the week. Yeah,

279
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 1: that was the s You shouldn't have asked, Um. I

280
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 1: had to say it though, but that was that. That

281
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 1: was the week. Like that generation. You know, I was

282
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 1: just carry more than anything because we I didn't know

283
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:43,480
Speaker 1: anything about GMS at that time. Like I told Tom,

284
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:48,600
Speaker 1: that was our first major GM purchase. Right right now,

285
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 1: I understand. I listen, I've seen those trucks go a

286
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 1: good long time. It's a matter of care, conditioning, mileage,

287
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:58,000
Speaker 1: and you know just what you're trying to do. And

288
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 1: then probably the last thing that I would suggest you

289
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 1: do is because of the mileage, Um, we're trying to

290
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 1: do some maintenance to it. Get rid of the fluids filters,

291
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:08,400
Speaker 1: you know, look at belts and hoses. That kind of

292
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 1: thing is consider doing a real fuel system cleaning, all right,

293
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 1: you know either the repair shop is going to do

294
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 1: it by hooking up to the fuel rail, or they're

295
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 1: going to tie in vacuum wise and do an induction cleaning,

296
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 1: you know, because there's sure to be carbon deposits and

297
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 1: build up over the years. If you want my suggestion

298
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 1: and you want to do it yourself, go get the

299
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:35,880
Speaker 1: fuel system service kit from Berryman. You can get it

300
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 1: at a Riley outal Parts. You can go the Berryman

301
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 1: Products dot com and read about it. They make a

302
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 1: four step kit with a poor in solution in the tank,

303
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 1: tie into the intake, manifold cleaner for the throttle body,

304
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 1: and an additive for the oil, and you know the

305
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 1: Berryman formula with the hest the high energy solving technology.

306
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 1: Not to make it sound like a commercial, but we

307
00:15:56,800 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 1: use it in the shop. The stuff works all right. Um,

308
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:03,080
Speaker 1: I think you'll see I think you'll see a noticeable

309
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 1: difference in the way that vehicle is gonna run as

310
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 1: well as fuel economy. So but those are the things

311
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 1: I would be looking to do. And then you know

312
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 1: what you just bought it. Take a walk around to

313
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 1: the exterior lights. How do the lights look? How do

314
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 1: the tires look? Have somebody inspect the brakes, and then

315
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 1: last but not least, the simple things. Uh you know

316
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:21,840
Speaker 1: how are the wiper blades. You don't want to get

317
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:24,920
Speaker 1: stuck in in a you know, in bad weather in Kansas,

318
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:26,960
Speaker 1: which I know you have three time to time, um,

319
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 1: a pretty bad rainstorm. There's there's there's a couple of

320
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 1: little those those little things do add up, all right,

321
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 1: see what that does for you? All right? Thank you,

322
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 1: you'revery welcome. Joseph. Where would you find a ton of

323
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:48,760
Speaker 1: cover for it? Um? I would probably well, I'd inquired

324
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 1: O'Reilly other parts just for giggles today, because they do

325
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 1: have accessories and truck additors, you know, additive you know,

326
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 1: truck add on things like that, And then I would

327
00:16:58,360 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 1: just I would ask around, you know. I just say

328
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 1: to my wife this morning, I've got to put a

329
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:03,280
Speaker 1: cover on the bed of the plow truck. And I

330
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:05,160
Speaker 1: was thinking about the company that I was using there.

331
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 1: It was a product from a company called Retracts r

332
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 1: E t R A X A little expensive, but it

333
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 1: was a retractable cover. It actually slid like a like

334
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:18,879
Speaker 1: a window blind. It was so strong you could stand

335
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:20,639
Speaker 1: on it, and it gave me security and that I

336
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:23,199
Speaker 1: could lock it. But you know, I've had trucks with

337
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:26,480
Speaker 1: tan who covers with the snaps. For me, it was

338
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 1: a pain. It was a pain in the neck. And

339
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:30,360
Speaker 1: I found that over time the tan who covers stretched

340
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:33,159
Speaker 1: and after a while the snap broke and I just

341
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 1: I didn't I didn't like it, especially in New Jersey

342
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:37,920
Speaker 1: where we get you know, we'll get a lot of snow,

343
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:40,639
Speaker 1: and it would weigh the time who covered down and

344
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:42,399
Speaker 1: then the bows would go the wrong direction and it

345
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:44,360
Speaker 1: would collapse and I'd have to dig the whole mess out.

346
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:47,479
Speaker 1: It was a pain in the neck. The retractable covers

347
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:51,560
Speaker 1: that slide and lock, uh, they were great, not cheap,

348
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 1: but you know, I'm not in it for the short haul.

349
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 1: I'm in it for the long haul. So just just

350
00:17:56,600 --> 00:18:01,919
Speaker 1: my two cents, all right, kiddo, you'll be well. Very welcome. Joseph,

351
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:05,440
Speaker 1: you'd be well and enjoy your new vehicle, you too,

352
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 1: Bye bye, Um. Listen, all good questions, Right, how do

353
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 1: we take care of the vehicle we just bought? Probably

354
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:12,920
Speaker 1: one of the smartest things you could do. Let's find

355
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:16,680
Speaker 1: out now, you know, it's it's it's interesting to see

356
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:20,880
Speaker 1: how vehicles have become so expensive. The eighteen thousand dollar

357
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 1: used car a year ago. I'm seeing selling now for dollars.

358
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:27,359
Speaker 1: We've gotta start taking better care of our stuff because

359
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:29,160
Speaker 1: there's no new stuff out there and it's not gonna

360
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:32,240
Speaker 1: be for the immediate future. Something to think about. I'm

361
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 1: running any of the car Doctor, I'll be back right

362
00:18:34,080 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 1: after this. Don't go away, welcome back or any of

363
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:03,560
Speaker 1: the card. Let's go over to Bob and Phillipsburg return

364
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 1: call or twelve oudy, Robert, how are you this week?

365
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 1: What's going on? Oh? We're doing this great? Uh? I

366
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:13,680
Speaker 1: had the pleasure purchased a two thousand and twelve outi

367
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 1: Q five and Uh, you only issue that I have

368
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:20,320
Speaker 1: with it? Well? Good, I don't know if there is

369
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 1: an issue, but it's only got fourteen thousand miles on it.

370
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 1: Not bad. Well, that's not really an issue that it

371
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:31,159
Speaker 1: was just it was waiting for you, so it just

372
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 1: said I'm not I'm not accumulating miles until Bob comes

373
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:40,119
Speaker 1: to get me. Yeah. And the question I have is, uh,

374
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 1: you know anyway I can find out whether any of

375
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:47,280
Speaker 1: the software needs to be updated? Well, you could, and

376
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:50,440
Speaker 1: I can almost guarantee you it does, but you would

377
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:55,639
Speaker 1: be required to go to someone, most preferably the AUDI dealership.

378
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:58,480
Speaker 1: The outies are a whole another generation of software update

379
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:02,200
Speaker 1: and let them run through the vehicle. Audi I believe

380
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:07,200
Speaker 1: is similar, well similar to uh does Ross Tech do it?

381
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:10,240
Speaker 1: I don't know that I would trust RUSS Tech? Um,

382
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:12,280
Speaker 1: well you could. Well, I take that back. I would

383
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:14,680
Speaker 1: trust Russ Tech, but I would make sure that I

384
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 1: have it. You need a locksmith license just on this

385
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 1: to be on the safe side, because sometimes when you're flashing,

386
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 1: you're going to have theft code issues having to be

387
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:28,479
Speaker 1: reset or theft devices having to be researched. Yeah, you're

388
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 1: running into all this. This is not now. I don't

389
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:35,440
Speaker 1: know if in twelve I don't recall him. Maybe I'm

390
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 1: wrong about twelve. It was definitely on newer vehicles, but

391
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:40,160
Speaker 1: Audi was always a little bit ahead of the curve

392
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:41,919
Speaker 1: like the rest of the Europeans, and it may have

393
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 1: been as early as ten, eleven or twelve. And you're

394
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:47,199
Speaker 1: gonna run into issues where you've got to have a

395
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:52,120
Speaker 1: locksmith license and the ability to um possibly get pin

396
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:56,720
Speaker 1: codes and not. Nothing's easy, Bob. Not, nothing's easy. Nothing's

397
00:20:56,760 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 1: simple and straightforward. So best answer I got Yeah, it's

398
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:05,440
Speaker 1: got the three point to V six and it's it's

399
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:07,920
Speaker 1: the engine that I wanted. And I'll tell you, I'm

400
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:11,000
Speaker 1: surprised how much power it has. Yeah, they do run well,

401
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:16,000
Speaker 1: did you? Why would you consider me changing all the

402
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:20,440
Speaker 1: fluids and your freeze break fluid transmission fluid and well,

403
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:23,880
Speaker 1: I'd consider you changing all the fluids, But I think

404
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:26,840
Speaker 1: you're gonna find that you can't change the trans fluid

405
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:31,120
Speaker 1: because it's a sealed pan and it's gonna be very

406
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:35,720
Speaker 1: cost prohibitive. I mean cost prohibitive. You know, the last

407
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 1: time I heard the story about someone changing an Audi

408
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:41,200
Speaker 1: trans fluid set up, the filter and the pan are

409
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:42,920
Speaker 1: all part and parcel of the same. If it's the

410
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:45,359
Speaker 1: trans I'm thinking of, and it was in the neighborhood

411
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 1: of six to eight, to do a trans service on

412
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 1: the vehicle. They want that vehicle, They want that vehicle. Um,

413
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:54,480
Speaker 1: you know, they want that trans fluid in there for

414
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:58,159
Speaker 1: the life of it. My concern would be ten years

415
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:04,600
Speaker 1: old condensation on the fourteen thousand mile vehicle, right. Uh,

416
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:07,080
Speaker 1: you know, So I might not change the filter, but

417
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 1: I would definitely consider changing the fluid, which will probably

418
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 1: be upwards of thirty dollars a quart. So I'll tell

419
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:18,440
Speaker 1: you one thing. Yeah, I'll tell you one thing I

420
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:21,440
Speaker 1: would do to that vehicle fourteen thousand miles, ten years old,

421
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:25,679
Speaker 1: is I would definitely get a can of the hydraulic

422
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:29,159
Speaker 1: lifter or editive from Liquamali. I think Liqua Molly, some

423
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 1: of some of their editors are so precise and work

424
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:34,720
Speaker 1: so well. And even though you don't have any lift

425
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:37,480
Speaker 1: noise in that that you're mentioning, it would help clean

426
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:40,439
Speaker 1: up any sledge and varnish that's in that motor, you know,

427
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:44,720
Speaker 1: in that engine or from the lack of miles. I

428
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:48,520
Speaker 1: think I'm switch over the Liquid Molly engine oil, and

429
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 1: I I think you want to do that in that

430
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:54,879
Speaker 1: particular carboy, that that car will thrive on that. And

431
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 1: there Syrah Tech fuel additive just does wonderful things too.

432
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 1: Those vehicles respond very well, very well. And I'm not

433
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 1: saying Liqual Molly only works a nouty far from it,

434
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:07,320
Speaker 1: but I've just seen their additives do some wonderful things.

435
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:09,919
Speaker 1: And there's a car that you know, we'll thrive on

436
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 1: it based on its mileage and age, you know, I

437
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:16,440
Speaker 1: think you'll see a performance conference. So alright, sir, no more,

438
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:20,439
Speaker 1: no more volkswagons, Bob, No, that can't be true. No.

439
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:24,359
Speaker 1: I got the sixty five Beetle in the nineties, three convertibles.

440
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:29,440
Speaker 1: I got four cars. Okay, you know you got you

441
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:32,120
Speaker 1: gotta right, they're all paid for. You gotta go get

442
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:36,160
Speaker 1: number five. So you're right there you go. You gotta

443
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:40,720
Speaker 1: go get number five, right. I know where there's one,

444
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:42,879
Speaker 1: but you can't have it, Bob, I gotta go. The

445
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 1: clock is gonna grab me. You. You be well, my friend,

446
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:49,480
Speaker 1: You stay safe, take good care of bye bye. Let's

Speaker 1: When you say starting, is it that it it doesn't crank?

453
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:24,920
Speaker 1: It doesn't it cranks, but it doesn't you know, do anything?

454
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:27,360
Speaker 1: Or and does it do it at random? And it's

455
00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:34,000
Speaker 1: what it's a three five? I c I we lost Chris. Okay,

456
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:36,639
Speaker 1: let's uh, maybe we should pull over and take a pause.

457
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:39,199
Speaker 1: Let's uh, let's pull over and take a pause and

458
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:41,760
Speaker 1: we'll sort out the technical difficulty in a quick in

459
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:43,679
Speaker 1: a quick New Jersey second, I'm on any of the

460
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:52,160
Speaker 1: car doctor. We are back right after this. Welcome back,

461
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:54,119
Speaker 1: running into the car doctor. Understand, we're gonna try this

462
00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:56,880
Speaker 1: again through the wizardry of Tom Ray and his excellent

463
00:24:56,920 --> 00:25:00,080
Speaker 1: engineering skills. As I watched them dash madly around on

464
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:02,919
Speaker 1: the studio making things work once again. Let's see if

465
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:06,400
Speaker 1: Chris is there. Chris, you're there in North Carolina. Yeah,

466
00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:09,879
Speaker 1: look at look at technology. So back to our original question.

467
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:12,040
Speaker 1: Is this a crank no start? You turned the key

468
00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:16,720
Speaker 1: and it cranks, but the engine never fires, Well, it

469
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:18,760
Speaker 1: would be long crank. Would you just about the vehicle

470
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:21,960
Speaker 1: a few months and has it? Has it done ranch?

471
00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:25,040
Speaker 1: It wouldn't. I'm sorry, well I was gonna say, has

472
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 1: it done it since you purchased it? Yeah, okay, it's

473
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:36,720
Speaker 1: the long crank no start. Eventually no start and you

474
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:38,800
Speaker 1: couldn't hear the fuel pump run, and so I replaced

475
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:42,639
Speaker 1: the fuel pump and now it's a long crank. Next

476
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:49,480
Speaker 1: star or long crank and the wheel start? Right? Do

477
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:51,760
Speaker 1: you have the ability to check fuel pressure? On that, Chris,

478
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:59,639
Speaker 1: are not really okay, so you know you sort of

479
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:03,359
Speaker 1: need to able to check fuel pressure. This, this runs, this,

480
00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:10,359
Speaker 1: this should be this is a three I. You said, yeah, okay,

481
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:13,960
Speaker 1: so this should have a fuel transfer pump. Um, you

482
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:16,280
Speaker 1: should have a siphon pump and a regular fuel pump,

483
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:22,640
Speaker 1: and they used they go ahead, Uh no, look, I'm

484
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:24,480
Speaker 1: just gonna say that. And I thought about that too

485
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:27,040
Speaker 1: in my head and filled up over half kind to

486
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:30,639
Speaker 1: say that was the issue, but still don't all right,

487
00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:35,960
Speaker 1: Well they they work off of you know, well, first

488
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:37,679
Speaker 1: of all, we've got to know what fuel pressure is,

489
00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:41,000
Speaker 1: all right, because it sure sounds like a fuel delivery

490
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:46,200
Speaker 1: or fuel pressure problem. All right, Now, a good up

491
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:49,000
Speaker 1: to date current level scan tool, I believe we'll give

492
00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 1: us fuel pressure reading off of the fuel pressure sensor

493
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 1: installed in the systems. At least we have an idea

494
00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 1: of what digitally it's trying to say. But we still

495
00:26:57,080 --> 00:26:58,320
Speaker 1: need one way or another, we need to know what

496
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:01,960
Speaker 1: fuel pressure is. These have issues with the pulp, These

497
00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:04,919
Speaker 1: have issues with there's a hose on the fuel pressure

498
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:08,639
Speaker 1: regulator and the transfer pipe. Got to make sure that

499
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:13,080
Speaker 1: hose is not clogged, all right, Does it change at

500
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 1: all when the tank is down there. Um, when when

501
00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:21,880
Speaker 1: the fuel pump wouldn't mark in the original I could

502
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:24,800
Speaker 1: tap them on the fuel tank and then start working again,

503
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 1: right and well, so let me well, let me let

504
00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:36,280
Speaker 1: me say this though, So that diagnosis gave us a

505
00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:40,680
Speaker 1: different set of circumstances now, right, Yeah, we still don't

506
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:45,080
Speaker 1: know what fuel pressure is, so you know, we can

507
00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:46,840
Speaker 1: keep we can keep tapping on things where we can

508
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:48,879
Speaker 1: start testing things. I'm not trying to beat up. I

509
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 1: understand where you're coming from, but you know you're you're

510
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:56,360
Speaker 1: we're working on something very sophisticated. Okay, we we've got

511
00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:58,400
Speaker 1: to know what fuel pressure is. Otherwise we're gonna spend

512
00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:00,679
Speaker 1: most of the day, you know, tapping things and guessing.

513
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:06,720
Speaker 1: Fair answer, Yeah it sounds good, right, So what kind

514
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:10,719
Speaker 1: of pressure looking for? Well, let's let's go get spec first. UM.

515
00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:12,200
Speaker 1: I don't remember the spec off the top of my head.

516
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:14,520
Speaker 1: But let's go see what we got, um, and then

517
00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:16,040
Speaker 1: we'll know what good or BED is. I tell you what,

518
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:17,920
Speaker 1: if you email me the vent of the vehicle, I'll

519
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:20,200
Speaker 1: be glad to check fuel pressure for you. But the

520
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:23,119
Speaker 1: question becomes, also, do we have the ability to go

521
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:25,640
Speaker 1: back and look at what I was saying, is there's

522
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:28,119
Speaker 1: a hose coming off the fuel pressure regulator that in

523
00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:30,520
Speaker 1: the transfer pipe. We want to make sure they're not plugged.

524
00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:34,119
Speaker 1: All right, there's gotta be. The fuel pump has to

525
00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:38,960
Speaker 1: put out enough pressure to to pass through from the

526
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:42,880
Speaker 1: pressure regulator. The system won't work. What brand fuel pump

527
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:49,800
Speaker 1: did you buy from? BMW? My shape? Right, So we're

528
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:52,520
Speaker 1: putting cheap parts. I'm gonna call it what it is, Chris.

529
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:56,040
Speaker 1: We're putting cheap parts in a BMW with no diagnostic tools,

530
00:28:56,400 --> 00:29:05,160
Speaker 1: and we're trying to figure out why it still doesn't work. Okay,

531
00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:07,960
Speaker 1: you know I want to be eighteen again. And I

532
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:11,280
Speaker 1: only say that because everybody says to me, Ron, you know,

533
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 1: it's a cheap car, or this is what I want,

534
00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:16,200
Speaker 1: or this is what I'm trying to do. I understand

535
00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:18,800
Speaker 1: all that. You know what, I want my fifty five

536
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:21,000
Speaker 1: Chevy to have a thirty two for five window coop

537
00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:23,440
Speaker 1: park mixed to it, and I don't want to spend

538
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:25,800
Speaker 1: fifty dollars to get it. But you know that hasn't

539
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:29,840
Speaker 1: happened yet. So guess what, it's still sitting there empty? Um,

540
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:33,400
Speaker 1: you know, it just it just doesn't work what we want.

541
00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 1: All right, I'm gonna get on my soapbox for two

542
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:38,760
Speaker 1: seconds before you hate me even more. You know what

543
00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:40,720
Speaker 1: we want and what actually happens in the world of

544
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:44,120
Speaker 1: ort to repair. It doesn't always happen because the laws

545
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:48,800
Speaker 1: of physics still apply. So do me a favor. Email

546
00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:51,240
Speaker 1: me the vin I'll get your fuel pressure. But you've

547
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:53,000
Speaker 1: got to figure out a way to test fuel pressure

548
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:55,720
Speaker 1: on this vehicle. And you've got to have the ability to,

549
00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:58,600
Speaker 1: you know, look at some things on a scan tool

550
00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:01,120
Speaker 1: because it's it's a very high that car and cheap

551
00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:04,600
Speaker 1: stuff doesn't work even though it was only all right,

552
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:07,720
Speaker 1: can we can we leave it there? Good job, all right, Chris,

553
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:10,240
Speaker 1: I look forward to talking to you again. Let's uh,

554
00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:12,680
Speaker 1: let's go, let's pull over and take a pause, and

555
00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:16,960
Speaker 1: when we come back, we'll finish up today. Zero, don't

556
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:26,920
Speaker 1: go away, Welcome back, right any of the car doctor

557
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:29,240
Speaker 1: real quick for Chris and North Carolina if he's listening.

558
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:32,320
Speaker 1: I jumped online and looked it up at the shop. Um,

559
00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:34,840
Speaker 1: you're about fifty p s I um is what you're

560
00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:37,040
Speaker 1: looking for for fuel pressure. But you know, like I said,

561
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:39,640
Speaker 1: you've got to make sure what's there, um, and look

562
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:41,320
Speaker 1: at those fuel pressure lines and make sure there's no

563
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:43,840
Speaker 1: blockage in any of them. Let's get over to Let's

564
00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:46,920
Speaker 1: get over to Brent, Louisiana one tundra and see what's

565
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:49,840
Speaker 1: going on here? Brent? How can I help h I

566
00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:53,400
Speaker 1: get after good afternoon. I have an that I am

567
00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:56,960
Speaker 1: having kidney shoes with when I break, uh brakes have

568
00:30:57,080 --> 00:30:59,720
Speaker 1: to be warned up coming down from my family. You know,

569
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:03,560
Speaker 1: fairly fairly quick speed breaking, kind of hard. Between thirty

570
00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:06,640
Speaker 1: and twenty, I get a lot of shake wibbling in

571
00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:09,960
Speaker 1: the front, shaking the wheel. I've originally thought it was

572
00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:14,120
Speaker 1: going to be discs um, I'm sorry rotors. I've gone

573
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:17,480
Speaker 1: through three sets of rotors. It's still having the same problem.

574
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:21,560
Speaker 1: So you know, is this a split hub that you

575
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:25,200
Speaker 1: unbolt the rotor from the bearing hub and bolted back

576
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:27,080
Speaker 1: on and then put the hubback on the vehicle with

577
00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:32,920
Speaker 1: the wheel bearing inside. No, it's uh no, it's um.

578
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:35,640
Speaker 1: So I pull off the brake calipers and that's the bottle.

579
00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 1: I only got need to get to the road right

580
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:39,560
Speaker 1: It just comes right off. Okay, So it's a hat style.

581
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:42,520
Speaker 1: Is this a four wheel drive or two wheel drive vehicle.

582
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:48,600
Speaker 1: It's the four. Okay, So have you taken so you're

583
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:52,840
Speaker 1: talking about break pulse? Really, is what you're telling me?

584
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:57,640
Speaker 1: Is it worse at higher speeds? It is only between

585
00:31:57,680 --> 00:32:00,480
Speaker 1: thirty and twenty when I'm slowing down. Had a pretty

586
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:04,240
Speaker 1: good clip, all right? And have you what's on the

587
00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:10,280
Speaker 1: back of this drummer disc? And have you just just

588
00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:14,720
Speaker 1: change those? All right? Do you have a dial indicator?

589
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:21,840
Speaker 1: I'm not. A dial indicator is a precise measuring device. See.

590
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:23,280
Speaker 1: The one good thing about talking to me is you

591
00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:25,240
Speaker 1: get you get an excuse to go buy more tools.

592
00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:27,760
Speaker 1: And if he who dies, he who dies with the

593
00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:32,200
Speaker 1: most tools wins. All right, look, look for a dial indicator.

594
00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:34,840
Speaker 1: A dial indicator is a precise measuring device. Is gonna

595
00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:37,760
Speaker 1: have a little finger on it that rides at the bottom.

596
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:40,160
Speaker 1: And you get one with a magnetic base. They're under

597
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:42,840
Speaker 1: a hundred bucks. You can bolt it to the suspension,

598
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:47,040
Speaker 1: all right, bolt the with the rotor on the vehicle.

599
00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:49,880
Speaker 1: I would put lug nuts on. Two lug nuts. Is

600
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:53,800
Speaker 1: enough bolted in place tight, just so that you're simulating

601
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:56,640
Speaker 1: the rotor in position and spin the wheel. What is

602
00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:58,800
Speaker 1: your run at? What that? What a dial indicator will

603
00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:01,880
Speaker 1: show you is it show you lateral runout? So, in

604
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:05,840
Speaker 1: other words, if you if you zero it and preloaded

605
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:08,000
Speaker 1: zero it and said it in place, as you spin

606
00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 1: the rotor, you might see you know, upwards of one

607
00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:15,000
Speaker 1: to one and a half thousands of runout. If you

608
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:17,280
Speaker 1: see more, if you see more than that, you want

609
00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:20,440
Speaker 1: to measure both sides, then that new rotor you just

610
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:26,280
Speaker 1: got is garbage. And that's always possible. Now taking that

611
00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:29,360
Speaker 1: a step further, if you want to dial indicate the

612
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:33,160
Speaker 1: front hub, let's assume let's assume your new parts are good.

613
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:36,960
Speaker 1: All right, how do you know that the rotor itself

614
00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:43,920
Speaker 1: isn't a problem and you know that's not an issue? Right? Um?

615
00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:45,760
Speaker 1: That you want to you know you want to replace

616
00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:50,240
Speaker 1: the hub. Um, so you want to, And so I

617
00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:53,920
Speaker 1: kind of mean in that direction because I've tried three

618
00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:56,680
Speaker 1: different brands of rotors on it, right, you know, Now

619
00:33:56,720 --> 00:34:00,520
Speaker 1: before you before you just blindly change the hubs, let's

620
00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:03,640
Speaker 1: let's just indicate them. I would like to see you

621
00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:06,880
Speaker 1: indicate it, just to be sure you know what's um,

622
00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:10,399
Speaker 1: what's going on that way? All right? Um, Last, but

623
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:13,279
Speaker 1: not least, you know, do you have the ability I'm

624
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:14,520
Speaker 1: trying to think of how I could get you to

625
00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:18,279
Speaker 1: measure rear drums. You know, if you if you lightly

626
00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:24,799
Speaker 1: apply the parking break, would you say what speed? Um?

627
00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:28,360
Speaker 1: If you lightly yeah, just gently pull up on the

628
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:34,040
Speaker 1: parking break at slowly see what it does, because understand

629
00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:38,279
Speaker 1: stopping on only the parking break, you know, on a

630
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:40,319
Speaker 1: wet road. That's how we that's how we used to

631
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:42,239
Speaker 1: do donuts as kids in the parking lots, learning how

632
00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:44,279
Speaker 1: to drive in the snoop. So we don't want to.

633
00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:45,680
Speaker 1: We don't want to. We don't want to do that

634
00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:47,560
Speaker 1: at sixty and pull up on the parking break. We're

635
00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:51,000
Speaker 1: gonna get in trouble. Yeah, um, but you know, maybe

636
00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:53,719
Speaker 1: just a gentle tug, you know, do we start to

637
00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:55,840
Speaker 1: feel a shutter and shake? How do we know the drum?

638
00:34:55,880 --> 00:35:01,560
Speaker 1: Isn't that around? Now? Okay, now, what's got me thinking

639
00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:04,920
Speaker 1: about the backs? Even though your description does match front,

640
00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:08,600
Speaker 1: what's got me thinking about the backs is the fact that,

641
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:13,600
Speaker 1: um uh, it's at the speed usually front rotor run

642
00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:17,960
Speaker 1: out happens fort higher speed. What you're talking about sounds

643
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:20,520
Speaker 1: more like low. But go buy a dial indicator. You'll

644
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:23,200
Speaker 1: feel better and see what that does for you. All right, kid, Uh,

645
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:27,799
Speaker 1: thank you, You're very welcome. Call us back. We'll give

646
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:31,560

647
00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:35,120
Speaker 1: always looking for the simple way, um, which is always

648
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:37,760
Speaker 1: the best way. Wow, where'd this two hours ago? Today?

649
00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:40,160
Speaker 1: Just kind of flew by? Holy smokes, I didn't even

650
00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:41,960
Speaker 1: I didn't even see the last break. The last break

651
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:43,719
Speaker 1: kind of flew by. I thought were I thought the

652
00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:48,759
Speaker 1: clock was off. Maybe aliens have invaded m Maybe it's Tom,

653
00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:51,080
Speaker 1: maybe it's wrong. I'm not sure who it is, but

654
00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:53,200
Speaker 1: I do know this. When I had so many more

655
00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:55,840
Speaker 1: comments to make about electric vehicles, just to keep you informed,

656
