Speaker 1: The following program has been prerecorded. Ronan, We're counting on

2
00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:07,120
Speaker 1: people to do the right thing. How many of us

3
00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:10,520
Speaker 1: ran into a driver that was an idiot? They were

4
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:20,560
Speaker 1: being inconsiderate, they were on their cell phone. The Car Doctor,

5
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:25,120

6
00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:29,080
Speaker 1: laser control. Correct, that's exactly right, and that gave you

7
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:32,920
Speaker 1: cruise function. Welcome to the radio home of ron Ananian,

Speaker 1: fifteen VW PISOT and some front end problems. Go ahead, Gary,

25
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 1: thanks for calling the show today. What's going on? Sure?

26
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:31,320
Speaker 1: Enjoy your show. I'm car guving back in the fifties

27
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 1: and sixties and uh, heyway, I got a facade. Okay,

28
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:37,839
Speaker 1: that's the second one I've had. I bought it new

29
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 1: in seventeens or two thousand and fifteens and diesel that

30
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:46,679
Speaker 1: was parked for two years basically, and uh uh why

31
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 1: was it? Why was it parked for two years? Just

32
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 1: they didn't sell it? Or okay, right, yeah, yeah, So anyway,

33
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 1: we don't get over seventy miles and now too much

34
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 1: come to del Marta Peninsula. Uh. I got it out

35
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 1: on the highway, had about seventy This is the new

36
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 1: tires that I had quite a few miles on it.

37
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 1: Uh you know, a little bit of vibration in the

38
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:12,359
Speaker 1: steering wheel. Um, so I was gonna take a trip

39
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 1: to California. Took out my old tar store, had the

40
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 1: wheels balance, got out on the Interstate it wasn't you know,

41
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 1: I still had it. Took it to the fire Stone

42
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 1: store Indianapolis, hadn't balanced. Yeah, still the same took it

43
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 1: the Voltiswagen dealer in California. They got fairly close, um,

44
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 1: but still had it. Seemed to get worse on the

45
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 1: way back. Um. Putting new tires on it at about

46
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 1: fifty thousand miles or so, and the same deal I

47
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 1: hadn't balanced two at your times, moved h put the

48
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 1: front to back. So I thought, maybe it's the rotors.

49
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 1: So I replaced the rotors, new rotors. Uh, same thing.

50
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:51,919
Speaker 1: So you got when this vibration occurs, what speed does

51
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 1: this come in at? Well, right now it's coming in

52
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 1: at and this is cruising along at sixty eight miles

53
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 1: an hour without touching the brake. That's correct, okay, and

54
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 1: putting a brake on. Well, at one trip when I

55
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:09,359
Speaker 1: was in the mountains, it seemed to me like it

56
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 1: was worse going up or coming down the hill. It

57
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 1: made a little bit of difference. Well, but you're not

58
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:16,519
Speaker 1: doing six. You're not doing sixty eight going up and

59
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:20,800
Speaker 1: down the hills, are you. Well, yeah, the apid was

60
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 1: you know, on high sixty eight you can do that. Um,

61
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 1: God bless you. So you really are from the fifties

62
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 1: and the sixties. You think this thing is a race

63
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 1: car and seventy I'm thinking of different kinds of mountains,

64
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 1: I guess. So yeah, Um so obviously, if it happens,

65
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 1: let me let me say it like this, If it

66
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 1: happens while you're hitting the brake, all right, then I

67
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 1: suspect we've got a brake pulse, you know, a break issue,

68
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 1: something related to rotors. Maybe we've got a wheel hub problem,

69
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 1: something like that. The fact that it's set two years

70
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 1: I don't think has any predominance here because you've changed

71
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 1: the rotors, the rotating part of the suspension that might

72
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 1: have rusted, and you've changed the tires. So you know,

73
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 1: I ultimately come back to this. Whenever I'm chasing a

74
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 1: wheel balance problem is I always look at a couple

75
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 1: of things. If I were to break the wheels down,

76
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 1: you know, take the tires off the wheels, break everything down,

77
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,839
Speaker 1: and just go to balance the wheels. The naked wheels

78
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:26,239
Speaker 1: by themselves, how do they balance? How do they look?

79
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:29,839
Speaker 1: You know? Do they I thought of that, but I

80
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:32,600
Speaker 1: haven't been. I haven't got it done. That's one, and

81
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,159
Speaker 1: and then and then what brand of tires do you

82
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 1: have are you putting on it? Well, it came a Continentals,

83
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:41,840
Speaker 1: which on I had a two thousand and thirteen facade

84
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,280
Speaker 1: just like this. This is closest thing I can find,

85
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 1: the top of the line. I put a hundred thousand

86
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:48,919
Speaker 1: miles on that before I sold out back the Volkswagen

87
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 1: and never had an issue. I put Continental back on

88
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 1: it Proticiphe half put good Year the top top line

89
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 1: good Year tire, which I really like. It's been very

90
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 1: smooth and nice up to sixty eight. I was an hour.

91
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 1: But I just don't think it's the tires um And

92
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 1: why don't you think it's the tires, just out of curiosity,

93
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 1: because you've you've changed the original conton Hills and you

94
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:11,799
Speaker 1: did it with the original conton Hills, and I've changed

95
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 1: in front to back and it's the same thing. The matter.

96
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 1: It seems like the front or backs on it. But nothing, nothing, nothing, Well,

97
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 1: it could be a way we're gonna go there in

98
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:24,600
Speaker 1: a minute, but you know, could it't? But but nothing

99
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:28,599
Speaker 1: seems to make a difference here, right right? Okay, So

100
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 1: in other words, you've you've played with tires you've played

101
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:35,279
Speaker 1: with balance, Nothing makes a difference. A lot of tire

102
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 1: shops have balanced. At the closest that came there was

103
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 1: a Volkswagen dealer in Riverside, California, balanced him and that

104
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:46,239
Speaker 1: was the best that it had been the original tires.

105
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:48,720
Speaker 1: So let me ask you, let me answer my question though.

106
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 1: Does does balancing the tires ever make a difference? Not? Really?

107
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,840
Speaker 1: It could change the speed maybe a mile or two,

108
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:03,920
Speaker 1: you know, sometimes it's sometimes as seventy. That always seems

109
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:05,600
Speaker 1: to happen in that area. If you get it going

110
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:09,840
Speaker 1: mass enough, they'd like it pretty well, doesn't doesn't You

111
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 1: don't feel it when you when you put them on

112
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,039
Speaker 1: the balancer. You know, if somebody comes into the shop

113
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:18,279
Speaker 1: and said I got a vibration, I would always look

114
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 1: are they at a balance? Are they at a balance?

115
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 1: You know? What are they like before? And what are

116
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:27,600
Speaker 1: they like after? Because I agree with you this this

117
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 1: this may not be in the tire, but I'm just

118
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 1: trying to get some kind of diagnostic routine here where

119
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 1: it's not let's try this, let's try you know. It's

120
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:36,719
Speaker 1: like there's there's always a method in a in a

121
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 1: procedure to follow, and I just want to try and

122
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 1: get you into that groove if I can. I even

123
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:46,160
Speaker 1: had I had him balanced at a tire store in

124
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 1: evans Hille, Indienda on another trip out there, and I

125
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:51,719
Speaker 1: had him. I said, you pull all those weights off

126
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:55,600
Speaker 1: and start from scratch, and they did and it shocked

127
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 1: the same problem right seeing, I would have done it differently.

128
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 1: I would have said, the balance on all four, tell

129
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 1: me what it is, and then rebalance them if they

130
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 1: need to be. Because you know it's listen and there's

131
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 1: no rule that says this can't be more than one

132
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 1: component creating the problem. If you follow my drift, you

133
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 1: know this could this could very well be. This could

134
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 1: very well be that the tires keep getting moved around,

135
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 1: balance changed, and the tires are an issue, and this

136
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 1: this could be a drive line um vibration. So is

137
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:33,559
Speaker 1: this a sticker and automatic? No, it's an automatic, okay.

138
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 1: So if it's alloy wheels that are pretty deeply dished, uh,

139
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 1: the same as my other one that's exactly the same

140
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 1: car as the two thirteen and never had a wheel

141
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 1: balance issue with it. All right, So let me ask

142
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 1: you this question and then I'm gonna go. If you're

143
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 1: cruising along at seventy miles it vibrates, right, Yeah, you

144
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 1: feel okay? If you put it in neutral and coast,

145
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 1: what happens. Well, I'll try that, right, because I can't

146
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 1: say I think I have tried that, but I've tried

147
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 1: so many things and over the year. I mean, this

148
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 1: has been going on for two years now, all right,

149
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 1: But you know where I'm going with this, right. Remember

150
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 1: Remember remember muscle cars in the sixties and the seventies,

151
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 1: when you had a bad you joint, Right, what did

152
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 1: you do? You thought you had a bad you joint?

153
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 1: You you know, it kind of came in and wherever

154
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 1: it came in forty miles an hour, two miles an hour.

155
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:32,319
Speaker 1: You know, I always popped it into neutral. If the

156
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 1: vibration diminished, then I knew it was directly related to

157
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 1: the load I was putting on the drive train, not

158
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 1: necessarily the rotational speed of the tires in the vehicle.

159
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 1: Same thing, same same thing, different model. I do remember

160
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:51,079
Speaker 1: doing some of the mild hills on some of these

161
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 1: interstates that that whether you had your foot in the

162
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 1: gas or off the gas made that at a different

163
00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 1: different speed. So if that's the case that you find

164
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 1: it's underload when the when the drive train is loaded,

165
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 1: then we'll start to think about could we have a

166
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 1: cracked engine mount, cracked or bad transmount, or could we

167
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 1: have a bad half shaft? And that's possible. How many

168
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:21,839
Speaker 1: models are on this car? I think it's got about

169
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 1: but new doesn't mean good, brother, and just I just

170
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 1: want to I just want to stick this in there

171
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 1: to to to make things a little, keep the keep

172
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:31,839
Speaker 1: the playing field level. You know, just because their a

173
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 1: tire shop A doesn't mean they've got the latest, greatest

174
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 1: equipment and B doesn't mean they know what they're doing,

175
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 1: just just saying um, and I would tell you that

176
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 1: the next place you go to, just you know if

177
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 1: they've got if you can find a shop that A

178
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 1: has Hunter balance equipment. I love my Hunter stuff and

179
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 1: I'm not believing. I don't rep for Hunter, and they

180
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 1: don't advertise on this show, but Hunter makes a heck

181
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 1: of a wheel balancer. And one of the nice things

182
00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 1: about their latest creation, their balancer that I use in

183
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 1: the shop up is it's got a printer. Do you

184
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 1: know I can print before and after so I can

185
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 1: hand somebody and go here's what it was, Here's what

186
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 1: it is, and I've got to tell you, well, yeah,

187
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:11,839
Speaker 1: And you know the nice thing is, now I can

188
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,440
Speaker 1: sit there and say, here's what it was, here's what

189
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:18,560
Speaker 1: it is. I know this machine, this machine has solved

190
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 1: problems like this for me. And now I can say,

191
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 1: if it still has a vibration, now it's something else.

192
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 1: And now we can go look somewhere else. And now

193
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 1: we will go look somewhere else, and at least we've

194
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:33,680
Speaker 1: got the confidence. So I think you've got to find

195
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:36,959
Speaker 1: one guy down there on the uh where is it

196
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 1: the del Marva Peninsula? Um uh, and let them start

197
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:43,440
Speaker 1: with it. You know, there's a tire shop down there,

198
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 1: and I can't think of who it is he advertises locally,

199
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 1: uh down there. His name just popped out of my Yeah.

200
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:54,680
Speaker 1: Have you talked to them sponsors? Yeah? Have you talked

201
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:59,000
Speaker 1: to him? Don't you go talk to him? I've I've

202
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 1: I've made him inadvert me. You said, you said, if

203
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:06,199
Speaker 1: the doesert worse underload, it's what I'm thinking. It's more

204
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 1: drive train, drive train and axles. Yeah, okay, yeah, Well

205
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 1: it's not real hard to replaces it, but let's find

206
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:15,840
Speaker 1: out first, and then we have to have a conversation

207
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:18,439
Speaker 1: about parts and prices and what are we gonna use

208
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:20,719
Speaker 1: and no after market junk and things like that. We've

209
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 1: got to we've got to have some known entities here.

210
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 1: But try that. Go talk to the go talk to

211
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 1: in and out see what they have to say. This way,

212
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 1: at least you've got one cook in the kitchen, one

213
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 1: guy working its way through the problem, and I bet

214
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 1: you they'll help you get to the bottom of it

215
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 1: and stop trying to do seventy on that peninsula. Is

216
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:38,680
Speaker 1: not enough room there, all right, brother, right, that's why

217
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 1: that's why the car had probably why I realized this happened. Yeah,

218
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 1: I can imagine it didn't initially on the roosin it didn't.

219
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 1: Didn't get it about seventy And also think about stripping

220
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:52,840
Speaker 1: the wheels down to just bear wheel and try balancing

221
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:55,559
Speaker 1: the wheels and see how that comes out. And then um,

222
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:57,839
Speaker 1: see how that works as well. So give me a call,

223
00:11:57,920 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 1: let me know how it works out. And if anybody

224
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:01,160

00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 1: the car doctor. We are back Right after this, the

228
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 1: Alzheimer's Association and the AD Council present the story of

229
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:17,839
Speaker 1: Cynthia and Ed. My mother was always very active and independent,

230
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:21,080
Speaker 1: and she was familiar with her neighborhood. But one day,

231
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 1: out of the blue, she stopped at the stop sign

232
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 1: for much longer than usual, and she didn't know whether

233
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 1: she should go forward or turn, or just stay at

234
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 1: the stop sign. She wasn't even really sure where she

235
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:39,560
Speaker 1: was at. She was very concerned. It was very unsettling

236
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 1: for her. It's for important for you to talk to

237
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 1: someone about it, to bring the family in on it.

238
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:49,600
Speaker 1: I saw so much better after my son told me, Mom,

239
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 1: I don't want you to worry. I'd be afraid. I'll

240
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:54,960
Speaker 1: be there for you and we'll figure it out. When

241

Speaker 1: me is that the people that love the outdoors the

252
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:36,880

Speaker 1: always b y O B no, bring your own bucket

254

266
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:33,680

267
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 1: calling the show? Yeah, So I reached out um with

268
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 1: some challenges that I had for a two thousand seventeen

269
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:45,520
Speaker 1: Cheep Cranch Cherokee rear. UM, sorry, the rear differential. I'm

270
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 1: not a guy guy on the sense that I do

271
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 1: repairs for myself. UM, and I was looking for insight

272
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 1: with regards to whether or not that model had some

273
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 1: challenges that UM, I should understand before bringing him back

274
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 1: to the dealers. Well, what exactly what kind of problems

275
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 1: are you having? Deal because there isn't there is, well,

276
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 1: there maybe and there likely is an open recall on

277
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:10,520
Speaker 1: that truck for the rear action. You're aware of that,

278
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:16,120
Speaker 1: I am not. And UM, it's lights. Very shortly after

279
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 1: purchasing the vehicle, you know, lights came on the dashboard

280
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 1: indicating UM four wheel drive concerns, and I would take

281
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:28,680
Speaker 1: the car for regular maintenance and they would reset the codes.

282
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 1: And the most recent dealership that I went to suggested

283
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:36,960
Speaker 1: that they couldn't reset the codes because there is a

284
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 1: problem and it was gonna be a little expensive around

285
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:47,680
Speaker 1: And so I guess in the end, UM, I inquired

286
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 1: with Cheap with Chrysler about UM, whether they're already known

287
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:55,400
Speaker 1: concerns with the you know, with what I just described.

288
00:15:56,960 --> 00:16:02,000
Speaker 1: They indicated none However, I've been a long term Jeep

289
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 1: owner with a number of vehicles vehicles over the past

290
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 1: twenty years, and I want to say two things. One

291
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 1: is that UM, the original dealer, didn't dealership didn't really

292
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:18,680
Speaker 1: address the concern early on, but Chrysler stepped up and

293
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:24,040
Speaker 1: they're offering to UM fix the repairs because of being

294
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 1: a long term owner. And so I guess two parts.

295
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 1: One is that finding the right mechanic to address and

296
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 1: assess the problem, but also a long term relationship with

297
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 1: UH with with a manufacturer also helps. Yeah, you know,

298
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 1: and I like the way you think too. I like

299
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:42,720
Speaker 1: the way you explain it. But I can hear your

300
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:44,560
Speaker 1: thought process and you're a guy after my own heart

301
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:47,200
Speaker 1: because I think I think the relationship, well, there's a

302
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 1: lot of things, the relationship in life with everybody. Do

303
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 1: you come in contact with us, what makes the day?

304
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 1: And you know, in doing so with a manufacturer like this,

305
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 1: I think that's absolutely the right way. And to your

306
00:16:57,240 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 1: to your point, yeah, Chrysler did step up. So basically,

307
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 1: what you're saying is it's a seventeen Grand Cherokee. There's

308
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:06,800
Speaker 1: some lights coming on christ. They're saying it's because they're

309
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:09,160
Speaker 1: going to make some repairs to the rear wiring harness

310
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:14,840
Speaker 1: and that's that's that's yes, I apologize, could not mean

311
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 1: to cut you off, but terminology is tough for me.

312
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:21,080
Speaker 1: It was you know, they say, the real differential harnessing,

313
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:25,720
Speaker 1: you know, a component, and yes, they're they're looking to

314
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:28,159
Speaker 1: fix that for me. Okay, and let them, you know,

315
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:30,960
Speaker 1: let's let's let them. The question is the thing you

316
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:34,159
Speaker 1: want to understand is well, obviously you know there's no

317
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:37,480
Speaker 1: cost at this point, but you know, ask them, is

318
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 1: this a manufacturing defect, you know? Or is this something

319
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 1: that came about because of something you've done in the

320
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:47,640
Speaker 1: way you've operated the vehicle, maybe in the environment, maybe

321
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:49,880
Speaker 1: you know the roads you go down. Just so you're

322
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 1: aware of what caused this. Sometimes it's nice to know

323
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:54,920
Speaker 1: the cause, you know the effect, now know the cost,

324
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:57,400
Speaker 1: so you don't repeat it if you can. That's number one.

325
00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:01,360
Speaker 1: Number two there there, you know, I believe there's two.

326
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:04,200
Speaker 1: One was just an update of the other. But somewhere

327
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:07,360
Speaker 1: around February of eighteen, they came out with a recall

328
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:10,360
Speaker 1: notice and it was more along the lines of customer satisfaction.

329
00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:13,160
Speaker 1: They had some problems with some of the rear axles

330
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:16,440
Speaker 1: in these seventeens. Uh, depending upon when it was built

331
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:18,680
Speaker 1: and if it was built between a certain time period.

332
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:23,199
Speaker 1: I think it was February of seventeen through November of eighteen,

333
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 1: or I'm sorry, November of seventeen. It went from I

334
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:29,760
Speaker 1: think it went from February seventeen to November of seventeen.

335
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:33,480
Speaker 1: If it was built in that time frame, then the

336
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 1: vehicle might have an issue with the rear axle, and

337
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 1: they issued a a recall for it where they were

338
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 1: replacing the entire rear So you know, you may want

339
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 1: to find out about that as well. Um uh, you know,

340
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:48,399
Speaker 1: just because while it's there, that has nothing to do

341
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:52,000
Speaker 1: with your harness. But you know, obviously it's a potential

342
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:55,040
Speaker 1: problem for the rear axle because they had issues with

343
00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:58,120
Speaker 1: the gears and the components the guts of the rear

344
00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 1: axle assembly. That makes sense, it does, and it's so helpful.

345
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 1: Thank you. You're very welcome. You know, think in mind,

346
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:06,360
Speaker 1: keep in mind, you know, look at a bicycle, right

347
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:08,720
Speaker 1: the back of a bicycle has a gear set with

348
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:11,240
Speaker 1: a chain. Chrysler saying that the gear set in the

349
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 1: chain has an issue and they've issued a recall for it,

350
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 1: and you know, maybe you're not in that, but you know,

351
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:19,440
Speaker 1: what the heck you're in there, you might as well,

352
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 1: you know, take a shot at it. If it is,

353
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:23,480
Speaker 1: get it all done at once. And then the last

354
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:26,040
Speaker 1: thing I know of that's common with this, uh is

355
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:29,639
Speaker 1: this a V six Dale, This is the V six engine,

356
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 1: so it's the three six. So there was a clip

357
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:36,119
Speaker 1: on one of the heat shields where the wiring harness

358
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:38,840
Speaker 1: came down out of the trans control module and they

359
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:41,200
Speaker 1: issued a bolton for that some time ago that talked

360
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 1: about moving the harness away from the exhaust so it

361
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 1: wouldn't melt. So I asked them to look at that

362
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 1: to just say, hey, listen, is you're aware of a

363
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:52,240
Speaker 1: bulletin that talks about wiring harness out of the TCM

364
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:55,439
Speaker 1: or the trans control module. There's a safety clip that

365
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:57,480
Speaker 1: goes on in place. They added a clip to the

366
00:19:57,520 --> 00:19:59,920
Speaker 1: models later on so it wouldn't rub against the man

367
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,000
Speaker 1: a fold and melt with a pipe and melt. Cr

368
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:03,960
Speaker 1: vehicles eligible for that. And if it is, get that done,

369
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 1: and then you're all sitting rady to go appreciate the call. Dale, Thanks,

370
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 1: and I have a good rest of the day. I'm

371
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:09,879
Speaker 1: running any of the Car Doctor. We're back right after this,

372
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:31,639
Speaker 1: you know, running any of the Car Doctor by the

373
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:34,720
Speaker 1: way eighty five. I don't I don't need to make

374
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:36,879
Speaker 1: it seem like it's picked on Chrysler week. But the

375
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:40,119
Speaker 1: last Cohler with with the Jeep and it got me thinking.

376
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:44,320
Speaker 1: So we had a two thousand eight Jeep Grand Cherokee

377
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:47,240
Speaker 1: in the shop not too long ago, and the complaint

378
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:50,120
Speaker 1: was and this was really one of those Obi wan

379
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:52,399
Speaker 1: Kenobi moments, you know, help me, car Doctor, You're my

380
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:56,120
Speaker 1: only hope. It was really and it was a two

381
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 1: thousand eight Grand Cherokee that the young lady, you know,

382
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 1: she lives in Hoboken, New Jersey, Hoboken down by the water,

383
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:06,000
Speaker 1: the birthplace of Frank Sinatra, right, the chairman of the board.

384
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:11,840
Speaker 1: And she parks the car outside her townhouse complex and

385
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:16,159
Speaker 1: when it rains, the horn goes off. That's been the

386
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:18,239
Speaker 1: problem for the past year. Well it's gotten to be

387
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:20,439
Speaker 1: so bad. You know, there's a couple of things in

388
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:23,560
Speaker 1: Jersey that that Jersey attitude thing, and you know, the

389
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:26,399
Speaker 1: people are like annoyed, like they want to sleep, and

390
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:29,400
Speaker 1: she's starting to get notes on her on the car, like,

391
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 1: you know, if you don't fix this bleep and bleep

392
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:35,200
Speaker 1: in vehicle, we're going to find you and kill you

393
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:38,840
Speaker 1: like it's bad. Okay, We're gonna break your windows. We're

394
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:40,920
Speaker 1: gonna beat you up like you gotta get the car

395
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:44,640
Speaker 1: to stop blowing the horn. She's taken into a couple

396
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 1: of mechanics, she's taken it to the dealer. Everybody's worked

397
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:51,440
Speaker 1: on it. Help me, Obi wan kenobi, You're my only hope.

398
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:54,480
Speaker 1: Here we go. So we go on Mr Toad's wild ride.

399
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:56,639
Speaker 1: I get it in the shop, I scan it, I

400
00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:58,960
Speaker 1: go through the usual deal and maybe he kills a

401
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 1: harsh word. But that's a Jersey thing, right, that's a

402
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:03,720
Speaker 1: people get angry, they want to sleep, they're tired. You know,

403
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:05,400
Speaker 1: they'll get up at three o'clock. Well, it's a whole

404
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:08,760
Speaker 1: another story. So you know, I go through it. There's

405
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:11,239
Speaker 1: no codes. Codes are a nice thing to look for

406
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 1: you Will it help you? Give you a starting point,

407
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 1: give you a place to go. No fault codes in

408
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:20,639
Speaker 1: the car. So I try to duplicate it, and you know,

409
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:22,199
Speaker 1: I hit the car with I hit the back of

410
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:23,600
Speaker 1: the car with water, hit the front of the car

411
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:25,199
Speaker 1: with water because there's no rule that says it's the

412
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:28,119
Speaker 1: back latch. They think it's the back latch because the

413
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:30,280
Speaker 1: brother had changed the latch and then it was the

414
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:32,240
Speaker 1: wrong part. It went to the dealer, and the dealer

415
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:35,000
Speaker 1: put another part in it, and everybody's got their hands

416
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 1: in the pot. It's it's we're back there. I love

417
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:38,520
Speaker 1: Lucy and who put the yeast in the bread? That

418
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 1: whole thing again, And you know, they think it's in

419
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:43,760
Speaker 1: the back of the vehicle. I'm like, yeah, it could be.

420
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:46,160
Speaker 1: It could be anywhere. You know, any door, any hood

421
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:49,400
Speaker 1: turns the turns the horn on. There's a skim system,

422
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 1: and you know, any any door that opens, hood that

423
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 1: opens could create this false alarm. I hit the car

424
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 1: with water, nothing happens. I just don't have the conditions right.

425
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:05,000
Speaker 1: So on a on a gamble, I'm i'm I'm reaching

426
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 1: down into the bag of tricks and in my Jedi toolbag.

427
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 1: It's let's do a visual. Let's take a look at things.

428
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:13,639
Speaker 1: So I pulled the back panel off the door and

429
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:15,920
Speaker 1: the wiring harness comes out off the glass. Now there's

430
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:18,120
Speaker 1: two sensors in the back of this car. There's a

431
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 1: sensor and a release for the latch glass, which is

432
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,520
Speaker 1: just the glass, and then there's a sensor and a

433
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 1: release for the latch for the entire door, the piece

434
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:31,359
Speaker 1: you lift up. So I pulled the back plastic trim

435
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:34,080
Speaker 1: panel off and I'm I'm looking at different things. I

436
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:36,400
Speaker 1: want to visually inspect things, and I've learned to look.

437
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:40,920
Speaker 1: And there's a bit of corrosion under the sixteen gang

438
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:43,080
Speaker 1: connector where it goes through the bulkhead back to the

439
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:45,800
Speaker 1: top of the headliner. Oh, look at that. And my

440
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 1: wire colors are violet brown and violet orange, and the

441
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:52,000
Speaker 1: violet brown has schmutz. We all know what schmutz is, right,

442
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:55,840
Speaker 1: technical term. It's got some schmutz on it. And I,

443
00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:58,600
Speaker 1: you know, I've got to I've got to clean this up.

444
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:01,520
Speaker 1: So I clean that up. You know, that could be it.

445
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 1: And I look, where did the moisture come from? And

446
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 1: I looked the third breake light is just up to

447
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 1: the top, and I pulled the third break light out,

448
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 1: and the gasket has a break in it so that

449
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:13,240
Speaker 1: it's not ceiling. So water comes in through the third

450
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:17,160
Speaker 1: break light folds right on that sixteen gang connector and

451
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:22,240
Speaker 1: corrode the terminals. Well, gee, that's gotta be it. Yeah,

452
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:25,960
Speaker 1: not so much, because something inside of me said, you

453
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,440
Speaker 1: get to be a pessimist being a mechanic because you're like, now,

454
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:31,080
Speaker 1: that was too easy, right, So I said, let me

455
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:33,280
Speaker 1: just poke around a little bit. I got the panel apart,

456
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:34,920
Speaker 1: let me just look one more time. You know, you

457
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 1: kind of think about it and you sort of start

458
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:38,720
Speaker 1: talking in your head, what if that's not it? What

459
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:42,399
Speaker 1: did I miss? Why don't you know the latch in

460
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:45,119
Speaker 1: the bottom of the door, the one that lifts the

461
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:48,200
Speaker 1: big door, there's a connector, there's a sensor. I pulled

462
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:52,320
Speaker 1: the connector out, corroded like a battery. I mean, horrible,

463
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:56,359
Speaker 1: and it's really you know, it's kind of Chrysler's fault

464
00:24:56,720 --> 00:25:01,639
Speaker 1: because they mounted the sensor on the latch vertical, so

465
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:05,159
Speaker 1: it's straight up. Now where does water come from? It

466
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:08,919
Speaker 1: comes from straight up when it rains. Where does it

467
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:14,800
Speaker 1: fall to straight down? Hello, So for the past twelve years,

468
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:18,679
Speaker 1: water because the door isn't perfectly sealed, is peeing water

469
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:21,159
Speaker 1: down inside the door. That's where the drains are. In

470
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:24,119
Speaker 1: the bottom of the door. The entire sensors corroded. Green.

471
00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 1: I put a sensor in the car. I clean up

472
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:29,120
Speaker 1: the terminal. I tried getting a new connector. Nobody had one.

473
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:32,120
Speaker 1: It was an S twelve ninety, nobody had one, and

474
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:33,760
Speaker 1: UM put it into the latch in the car. And

475
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:39,080
Speaker 1: you know, cars fixed and and just you know, it

476
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 1: just takes looking. It just takes You've got to think

477
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:44,239
Speaker 1: outside the box. That's what part. That's part of what

478
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 1: order repair is. And you've got to be able to

479
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:49,600
Speaker 1: sit there and say, hey, you know, if it's not this,

480
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 1: what if it's that. You guys always ask me, what's

481
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:55,320
Speaker 1: the diagnostic routine? You go till you're done, and when

482
00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:57,399
Speaker 1: you're done, you go a little bit more and you

483
00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 1: keep looking until you know you fixed. Then you remember record,

484
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 1: write it down, you move on to the next one.

485
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:06,840
Speaker 1: But you never stopped. And that's part of fixing cars.

486
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 1: And that's what you gotta remember. Zero run any of

487
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:24,960
Speaker 1: the car doctor. I'll be back right after this. Okay,

488
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:27,520
Speaker 1: let's get over and talk to Gary in New Hampshire. Gary,

489
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:29,920
Speaker 1: you're out with the car doctor. What's going on? Yes, sir,

490
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:37,280
Speaker 1: I've got an OH six Dodge truck. UM within five

491
00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:40,400
Speaker 1: point seven leader, UM guy drove to work. The truck

492
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:44,200
Speaker 1: has been running fine right along did his shift at work,

493
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:49,200
Speaker 1: came out at the end of his shift, and truck

494
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:53,680
Speaker 1: wooden styles started very very hard. Uh will barely run

495
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:58,000
Speaker 1: it all And there's three items that were all suddenly present.

496
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:03,360
Speaker 1: The old pressure gates's on zero, the electronic throttle control

497
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:06,160
Speaker 1: light is blinking on the dash, and the check engine

498
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:09,439
Speaker 1: light is on what what? What fault code did you

499
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:11,680
Speaker 1: get out of it? Pardon me? Did you get any

500
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:13,960
Speaker 1: fault codes out of it? There was one code in

501
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 1: there P zero three three five, which is crank censor.

502
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:23,480
Speaker 1: Crank censor circuit a malfunction, right, and if you clear

503
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:27,240
Speaker 1: the fault, does the fault go away and the truck

504
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 1: run normal? Well? Actually I did not do that. Um okay,

505
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:35,120
Speaker 1: so let's do this first thing I did. I did

506
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:37,800
Speaker 1: change the crank position sensor because it's pretty easy to

507
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:41,240
Speaker 1: do on that and that made no difference at all.

508
00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:42,960
Speaker 1: All right, So let's do this. Put the put the

509
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:45,639
Speaker 1: original crank censor back in it. All right? Do you

510
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:48,920
Speaker 1: have a lap scope you're a repair shop. Um, yes,

511
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:51,840
Speaker 1: I do, but I do not have access to it

512
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:57,080
Speaker 1: right now. I'd love to see is that crank sensor

513
00:27:57,320 --> 00:27:59,920
Speaker 1: putting out a signal? Because there's there's there's two part

514
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 1: stabilities here. There's I'm thinking that you know that the

515
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:07,199
Speaker 1: I'm thinking that it's it's it's sending out a a

516
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:11,160
Speaker 1: crank sensor fault related or it's a P zero three

517
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:13,200
Speaker 1: three five. I've also seen the three three five gets

518
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:16,520
Speaker 1: set by a CAM sensor issue. So I'd love to

519
00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:18,919
Speaker 1: see and I know, yeah, and then I know it

520
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:21,959
Speaker 1: sounds crazy, but chryslers do this. I've run into this before.

521
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:25,720
Speaker 1: I'd love to see a wave of crank and cam

522
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:30,720
Speaker 1: compared to each other. Are they correct? All right? And

523
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:33,280
Speaker 1: that may be why not changing the other? You know,

524
00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:36,320
Speaker 1: changing one not the other got you nowhere? Or maybe

525
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:38,800
Speaker 1: a case where now you know clear your fault. Does

526
00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:40,840
Speaker 1: that clear the fault and turn it away and now

527
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:43,680
Speaker 1: all of a sudden the truck runs normal. So but

528
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:47,080
Speaker 1: let's let's let's let's let's back up. I'd rather see

529
00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:48,880
Speaker 1: this as tempting as it is to now just go

530
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 1: out and put a camp sensor in it. Um. I'd

531
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 1: rather see this as let's let's let's follow the diagnosis.

532
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:57,400
Speaker 1: Let's wave the cam and the crank. Do we have

533
00:28:57,520 --> 00:29:01,200
Speaker 1: proper signal? If we do, great, let's move on, let's

534
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 1: go look at freeze frame. And I don't think freeze

535
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:06,000
Speaker 1: frame is gonna show you a whole heck of a

536
00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:09,240
Speaker 1: lot here, because I think it happened like that so

537
00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:13,960
Speaker 1: fast that you know, free split off running completely and

538
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:16,480
Speaker 1: then it was the second you gut in it to

539
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:19,800
Speaker 1: leave work. You know, freeze frame has like a seven

540
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:22,120
Speaker 1: second delay to it, so it's not always right on

541
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:24,120
Speaker 1: top of the problem just as it occurred. And it's

542
00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:27,080
Speaker 1: only supposed to show you the approximate conditions of what

543
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:31,000
Speaker 1: the vehicle was under when it happened. But let's go

544
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:32,880
Speaker 1: look at it. So you know, sometimes you know that

545
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:36,080
Speaker 1: you know the drill, Gary, Sometimes diagnosis is due diligence, right,

546
00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:38,320
Speaker 1: It's it's just looking at the things that you know

547
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:40,320
Speaker 1: we're good, because then eventually you find the things that

548
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:42,800
Speaker 1: you know we're bad. Do you have you ever heard

549
00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 1: of anything that has those three items in common? Yes,

550
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:53,520
Speaker 1: the vehicles and failsafe mode. So if if and I've

551
00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:55,719
Speaker 1: seen this, I can't say that I've seen oil pressure,

552
00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:58,160
Speaker 1: but I've seen thrautle control, check engine, and then I've

553
00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:00,760
Speaker 1: seen check engine and oil pressure. They do funny things,

554
00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:06,280
Speaker 1: especially Chrysler um under conditions like this. So let's go

555
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:09,200
Speaker 1: back clear the fault after we look at freeze frame,

556
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:12,959
Speaker 1: scope it with the original sensor, scope the cam sensor

557
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:17,040
Speaker 1: and does the does the problem return? This could be

558
00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:19,640
Speaker 1: and I hate to say the ugly word and intermittent

559
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:25,240
Speaker 1: okay um. And then the other thing to be aware

560
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:28,680
Speaker 1: of is is this a higher mileage older Chrysler. Yeah,

561
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:32,640
Speaker 1: about And this could be. This could be the beginning

562
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:36,320
Speaker 1: of a bad timing chain. Chain gets a little stretch,

563
00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:40,560
Speaker 1: caught it at the right moment. Crank signal was erratic,

564
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:43,760
Speaker 1: it was too far spaced out against the cam signal. Bang,

565
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:47,520
Speaker 1: set the fault code. And if you don't see the

566
00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:50,720
Speaker 1: fault again, if the problem disappears in the truck runs normal,

567
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:55,360
Speaker 1: then you may want to remember in the old days,

568
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:58,080
Speaker 1: we would you know, bring the bring it around the

569
00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:01,160
Speaker 1: top and then cranking around the opposite cylinder in the

570
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:03,360
Speaker 1: firing order, and then load the chain and see how

571
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:08,000
Speaker 1: much rotation we get before the cam actually moved. Yes, well,

572
00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:10,400
Speaker 1: you you might want to try that, because you might

573
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:13,560
Speaker 1: you might have the beginnings of a warrant chain all right,

574
00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:16,680
Speaker 1: although oh six, this is probably a double roller. But

575
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:21,720
Speaker 1: you know, again back to due diligence. Okay, um, you know,

576
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:23,520
Speaker 1: let's see where, let's see where else we go. And

577
00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:25,400
Speaker 1: now are you are you going into this O B

578
00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:30,719
Speaker 1: D two Are you going into it your make model? Um?

579
00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:33,600
Speaker 1: I haven't gotten that far the truth? Well, no, when

580
00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:36,600
Speaker 1: you pulled codes, you said you pulled codes. When you

581
00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:38,320
Speaker 1: pulled codes, how did you do it? Did you use

582
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:40,400
Speaker 1: an O B D two scan tool or did you

583
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 1: go in looking at oh six dodge rama tool that's

584
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:52,680
Speaker 1: all just tool. This croaked like on Christmas Eve. Terrible. Okay, yeah,

585
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:55,680
Speaker 1: it's always the worst, right, you know, Let's let's go

586
00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:59,480
Speaker 1: in and let's do a and and just as a suggestion,

587
00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:03,440
Speaker 1: my experience has been I've started doing this. I'm starting

588
00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:05,720
Speaker 1: to do this now with regular customers. Once a year,

589
00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:07,360
Speaker 1: we we make them do a stick out their tongue

590
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:10,600
Speaker 1: and say, ah, where we'll do a complete vehicle scan,

591
00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:13,040
Speaker 1: you know, we'll we'll plug in something that we'll do

592
00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:16,400
Speaker 1: an all module scan if the car supports it, and

593
00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:20,120
Speaker 1: we'll look at every module for any fault, whether it's history,

594
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 1: whether it's it's pending, whether there's nothing there, and then

595
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:25,840
Speaker 1: we'll print it, store it in a file and and

596
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:28,120
Speaker 1: two months later six months later, a year later, they

597
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:30,440
Speaker 1: come back with another problem. We go, well, here was

598
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:33,719
Speaker 1: the beginning of it. You know, Um, cars are started,

599
00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:37,320
Speaker 1: cars are starting to and have become you know a

600
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:40,720
Speaker 1: little bit of stick out your tongue and say ah,

601
00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:43,840
Speaker 1: you know and and and you know to look at it.

602
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:45,280
Speaker 1: And we don't charge a lot for it. To tell

603
00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:46,760
Speaker 1: you the truth. That helps us more than it helps

604
00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:50,760
Speaker 1: them because it gives us information. So I would, I

605
00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:53,880
Speaker 1: would definitely do an all module scan on this. What

606
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:55,440
Speaker 1: sort of scans will do you have in the shop?

607
00:32:56,760 --> 00:33:00,440
Speaker 1: I am actually it's my guy that works with me.

608
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:03,200
Speaker 1: He does that part for me. I'm more or less,

609
00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:05,880
Speaker 1: I'm almost retired. I'm kind of just running the place

610
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:08,960
Speaker 1: at this point. So I have to have him here

611
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:11,680
Speaker 1: to answer those questions. You know. Hopefully he's got to

612
00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:15,000
Speaker 1: scan to a little duel your make model stuff, and um,

613
00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:17,680
Speaker 1: you know, do that just just and just and just again.

614
00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:22,600
Speaker 1: You know again. Sometimes diagnosing is not looking for what's wrong.

615
00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:25,720
Speaker 1: It's it's looking for what's right, and that narrows down

616
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:29,920
Speaker 1: what can be wrong, you know, process of elimination. All right, absolutely,

617
00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:31,720
Speaker 1: try those things. Call me back next week, let me

618
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:34,520
Speaker 1: know if you need more thanks sir, You're very welcome.

619
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:36,960
Speaker 1: You take good care. Bye bye. I'm running any of

620
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:59,400
Speaker 1: The Car Doctor will be back right after this. On

621
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:04,680
Speaker 1: a day I was bawn. So we're back, and I

622
00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:06,320
Speaker 1: want to just close out this hour. I want to

623
00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:08,120
Speaker 1: give you some food for thought and something to think about.

624
00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:10,399
Speaker 1: We talked a lot about your car, your data this hour,

625
00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:13,000
Speaker 1: and we've also talked a lot about you know, electric

626
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:17,320
Speaker 1: cars in the past, and just keep in mind that

627
00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:19,160
Speaker 1: one of the things we have to be aware of

628
00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:23,720
Speaker 1: is all these technological changes, technological technology, all the changes

629
00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:27,160
Speaker 1: with technology in the car are are going to create

630
00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:33,600
Speaker 1: different approaches in diagnosis. And there's an underlying current running

631
00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:36,200
Speaker 1: through the industry now that we don't really talk a

632
00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:38,600
Speaker 1: lot about here on the Car Doctor, but it's there,

633
00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:41,399
Speaker 1: and that is the lab scope. And if you talk

634
00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:44,359
Speaker 1: to a lot of technicians, some of them don't know

635
00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:46,719
Speaker 1: really what a lab scope is. Some of them use it,

636
00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:49,239
Speaker 1: in my opinion, too much, some of them don't use

637
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:52,840
Speaker 1: it enough, and there's going to be a need to

638
00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:56,800
Speaker 1: balance and use it more on a regular, consistent basis.

639
00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:59,840
Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, um, I really believe that

640
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:02,879
Speaker 1: time has come now where we're going to probably want

641
00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:05,560
Speaker 1: to pre away our vault meters and use a lab

642
00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:08,040
Speaker 1: scope to get in the habit of knowing the scope

643
00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:11,480
Speaker 1: and using the scope, because the labscope is a very

644
00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:15,160
Speaker 1: precise measuring device for those of you that aren't familiar

645
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:18,040
Speaker 1: with it, to you know, measure the circuit, to to

646
00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:23,520
Speaker 1: measure voltage and time to see what exactly is going on,

647
00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:28,319
Speaker 1: things that a standard digital voultometer won't do. So, if

648
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:30,960
Speaker 1: you are a technician or you're a weekend warrior and

649
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:32,719
Speaker 1: you want to get deeper into cars and you want

650
00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:34,399
Speaker 1: to know where the future is gonna be, it's gonna

651
00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:36,239
Speaker 1: be in scopes, lab scopes, and there's a lot of

652
00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:39,360
Speaker 1: manufacturers out there. There's a lot of choices you you

653
00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:41,319
Speaker 1: want to take some first steps. You want to get

654
00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:43,560
Speaker 1: familiar with it. You want to start doing this now.

655
00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:46,440
Speaker 1: And I encourage you to do this now because to

656
00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:50,040
Speaker 1: wait until you've got the problem car never really works out.

657
00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:52,799
Speaker 1: You wait until the problem car happens. And now you're

658
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:54,759
Speaker 1: trying to learn how to use a new tool. If

659
00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:56,440
Speaker 1: you haven't used one or if you haven't picked it

660
00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:57,880
Speaker 1: up in a while, now is a great time to

661
00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:01,000
Speaker 1: get reacquainted and you're trying to you know, how does

662
00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:03,680
Speaker 1: this work? And you're putting it on a broken car?

663
00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:05,439
Speaker 1: And you know how I feel about that you put

664
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:08,680
Speaker 1: something on a broken car when you're trying to diagnose it. Jeez,

665
00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:10,440
Speaker 1: that the tool? Is it, the way it's hooked up?

666
00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:13,200
Speaker 1: Is it? Is it the car that I'm trying to fix?

667
00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:15,719
Speaker 1: What exactly is going on here? So you want to

668
00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:17,960
Speaker 1: take some first steps and get to know your scope,

669
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:19,920
Speaker 1: either again or for the first time. You want to

670
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:22,719
Speaker 1: understand the scope, look and see how does it work

671
00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:24,759
Speaker 1: when it's when, when you're when you're running it on

672
00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:27,160
Speaker 1: d C And does it change when you run on

673
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:29,520
Speaker 1: a C. Scopes have been known to do that. Does

674
00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:31,960
Speaker 1: it look different? Does the pattern look different when you

675
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:34,080
Speaker 1: turn off the lights in the shop or the garage

676
00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:37,480
Speaker 1: because fluorescent lights will play havoc with lab scope. So

677
00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:40,279
Speaker 1: you understand the environment that the scope is in and

678
00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:42,360
Speaker 1: how it's working. You know, you want to understand the

679
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:45,040
Speaker 1: way as as we say, and just get used to

680
00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:47,160
Speaker 1: it and what what what does good look like? That's

681
00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:49,759
Speaker 1: really where you want to be with it. And just

682
00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:52,839
Speaker 1: keep in mind that there's a lot of information out there.

683
00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:55,480
Speaker 1: There's a lot of different things to go forth and

684
00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:59,560
Speaker 1: and and understand what a lab scope is. But ultimately

685
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:02,480
Speaker 1: you're going to find that does electric cars come around,

686
00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:05,239
Speaker 1: and they are coming around more and more, you're going

687
00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:07,719
Speaker 1: to need a lamp scope to diagnose them as well.

688
00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:09,919
Speaker 1: Until the next time, I'm Rondanini in the car doctor,

689
00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:21,000
Speaker 1: reminding you good mechanics aren't expensive, they're priceless. See
