1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:02,160
Speaker 1: Ron and Anien maybe the way we need to look

2
00:00:02,160 --> 00:00:04,800
Speaker 1: at or to repair. It's kind of like a blind date.

3
00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:07,520
Speaker 1: What's your gut tell you? As your gut tells you, Yeah,

4
00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:09,200
Speaker 1: I don't think I want to get married and have

5
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:11,440
Speaker 1: kids with this person. And chances are you probably gonna

6
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:25,320
Speaker 1: want to work on your car either, the Car Doctor.

7
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 1: Has your son ever driven a stick? No? He had, Okay,

8
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 1: so he's the first time driver. So the likelihood of

9
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:32,319
Speaker 1: this needing a clutch and six months might be more

10
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 1: realistic than we realize. Welcome to the radio home of

11
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 1: Ron and Anian the Car Doctor, since this is where

12
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 1: car owners the world overturned to for their definitive opinion

13
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 1: on automotive repair. If your mechanics giving you a busy signal,

14
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:51,200
Speaker 1: pick up the phone and call in the garage doors

15
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:53,200
Speaker 1: are open, but I am here to take your call

16
00:00:53,600 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 1: at eight five five six and now he running. Heyy,

17
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:04,679
Speaker 1: Welcome Mom and Indian the guard Doctor. Uh yeah, gee,

18
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 1: where do we start today? You know, there's so many

19
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 1: things I want to talk about this hour. And by

20
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 1: the way, I'm here at five five zero nine nine

21
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:15,119
Speaker 1: zero zero. Let me start here. Before the show today,

22
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:17,679
Speaker 1: I called Mom. You you hear me talk about Mom

23
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 1: all the time, and uh, you know, let's just say

24
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:22,320
Speaker 1: that Mom's sitting by a radio right now. And I

25
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 1: won't tell you how old she is, but let's just

26
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:27,960
Speaker 1: say that, um, she remembers Pearl Harbor and she probably

27
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 1: dated one of the pilots, So for our side that um.

28
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 1: You know, so Mom has been around a little bit.

29
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 1: And she was talking today, what are you gonna talk

30
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 1: about today on the show? And I said, gee, Mom,

31
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,040
Speaker 1: I I kind of really haven't given it a lot

32
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 1: of thought. I usually created as I go because I

33
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 1: find it to be a little fresher that way. I

34
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 1: review the week's events in the top of my head

35
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 1: and started work from there. And she said, well, why

36
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 1: don't you talk about getting your car ready for winter?

37
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 1: And I went, but mam, we're still in the middle

38
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 1: of summer. You know, summer's just winding down. But you

39
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 1: can never be too prepared. And I thought about that,

40
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 1: and the fact is, Mom's right, you can never be

41
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 1: too prepared because chances are where in the tailor the

42
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 1: end of the last couple of weeks of summer, and

43
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 1: before you know it, two months from now, we could

44
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 1: have the dirty four letter word snow, but I didn't

45
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 1: say it. So what I want you to think about.

46
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 1: I want you to develop a plan. I don't want

47
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 1: anything to be done at the last minute. I don't

48
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 1: want any automotive emergencies. I want you to be aware

49
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 1: that from this moment forward, somewhere in the next two months,

50
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 1: you become good scouts and you're prepared. You take the

51
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:34,639
Speaker 1: card and for service. If you haven't done it in

52
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 1: a while, look up at that oil change sticker the

53
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 1: next time you get in the car. If it's curled

54
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 1: up in yellow and falling off, or worship, if it's missing,

55
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 1: chances are you need an oil change, and ask your

56
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 1: mechanic to go over the car. That's going to give

57
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,800
Speaker 1: him a physical look at the tires, look at the brakes, belts, hoses.

58
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 1: Not necessarily every year make model card because a lot

59
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:54,800
Speaker 1: of the newer vehicles are going to require a different

60
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 1: kind of service and a different kind of approach. But

61
00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 1: it's still a mechanical device, and it still requires maintenance

62
00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 1: and some way, shape or form. If your car hasn't

63
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 1: seen the inside of a repair shop or an oil

64
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 1: change place in a year, chances are your way overdue

65
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,239
Speaker 1: and you've got to get something done before it becomes

66
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,639
Speaker 1: a bigger problem, because two months from now, when there's

67
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 1: snow on the ground perhaps, or three months from now

68
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 1: when there's snow on the ground, you don't want to

69
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 1: be that guy making the phone call three o'clock on

70
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 1: a Friday afternoon going I've got a problem. You were warned,

71
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 1: and just remember mom, we'll call you and yell at

72
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 1: you if you don't mine or yours your call. Hello

73
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 1: and welcome Ron and any of the guard Doctor here

74
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 1: at zero nine zero zero, here to take your call

75
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 1: and answer your question, solve your problem, whatever it is.

76
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 1: Give us a call. Talk to Fast Harry, Fast Harry.

77
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 1: I'll get you up in queue. We're gonna be talking

78
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 1: to the folks from Delphi, I believe, down around the

79
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 1: bottom of the hour about some of the things they've

80
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 1: got going on. So we're looking forward to that. But

81
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 1: we are here to take your calls. Let's kick the

82
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 1: garage doors open and get into it and go talk

83
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 1: to Mike and Dan Ellen, New Jersey with some comments

84
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 1: about an aged Chevrolet and russproofing. Mike, Welcome to the

85
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 1: Car Doctor, sir. How are you today, Ron, I'm very well,

86
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 1: Thank you, I always enjoy your show, especially last week.

87
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 1: I thought it was really great. I appreciate that A question.

88
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:17,719
Speaker 1: My friend has an O. H. Chevrolet uh Silver say

89
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 1: Silverado with a short bed. It's a standard cab, not

90
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 1: the four door one, and he says he was looking

91
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 1: underneath it the other day and noticed that somehow some

92
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 1: things are starting to rust already. Now, did I do

93
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 1: any russproofing on these cars today? And if not, what

94
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 1: would you suggest that he do? Did they still have

95
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 1: like the the Rusty Jones type places or are not anymore.

96
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:47,600
Speaker 1: I'm not a fan of undercoding, Mike, because in my mind,

97
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,799
Speaker 1: from what I've seen undercoding, you know, we'll hold moisture

98
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 1: and can create some issues on its own. That's number one.

99
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 1: Number two based on the quality of undercoding. Undercoating has

100
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 1: changed a lot over the years. When I re stored

101
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:02,839
Speaker 1: the hot Rod five four or five years ago, the

102
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 1: undercoating that I was peeling off the floor pan from

103
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 1: nineteen fifty four was entirely different in terms of composition

104
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 1: and resiliency than the stuff we're using today. And a

105
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 1: lot of it's, you know, the chemical makeup. They won't

106
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:17,599
Speaker 1: allow certain chemicals to be sprayed anymore. That being said,

107
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 1: that two thousand eight Silverado. I've got a two thousand

108
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,600
Speaker 1: eight Silverado. You know what, it's eight model years old.

109
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,920
Speaker 1: It's been through eight winters. Now. The last two maybe

110
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 1: three years, I've been using a product called fluid film,

111
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 1: fluid film, and we're just talking about this last hours.

112
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 1: A matter of fact, it's funny, first time it's come

113
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 1: up in a while. And what fluid film does is

114
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 1: it clings. It's like a clotting, blocking action material that

115
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 1: will cling to the metal and prevent it from, you know,

116
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 1: allowing moisture to settle in. And it's it's it's a

117
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 1: rust preventative. A lot of the plow companies use it.

118
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 1: They put it on the blades, they put it on

119
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 1: the undercarriage of the trucks. Is designed specifically for foul weather.

120
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 1: And I like that. I like that approach, and I've

121
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:04,480
Speaker 1: been using that on my truck now for the past

122
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 1: two years. Like I said, going on three, one of

123
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,480
Speaker 1: the things your friend may have to do is get

124
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 1: the truck up in the air and start painting some

125
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 1: of those critical areas, scrape off some of the surface

126
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:18,479
Speaker 1: rust and start scraping and then painting with the product

127
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,719
Speaker 1: I use called zero rust paint. If you google at

128
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 1: zero rust paint, you'll find it, or you'll find that

129
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 1: it may be a local body shop supply house. And

130
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:29,480
Speaker 1: what zero rust paint does is it will actually permeate

131
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,359
Speaker 1: into the rust. It will dig into the rust and

132
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 1: lock it up and prevent it from growing. And yeah,

133
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,040
Speaker 1: kind of like a rustolium, but I think a grade

134
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 1: above and you know it specifically will attack rust, where rustolium,

135
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:48,600
Speaker 1: to my knowledge, requires a clean surface. Rostolium is more

136
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 1: of a preventative, whereas zero rust will actually attack the rust,

137
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:56,040
Speaker 1: lock into it and prevent the vehicle from rusting further.

138
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 1: Now there's a third product. You know, how how deep

139
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 1: and how hard into this do we want to get?

140
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 1: If you wanted to pour fifteen the chassis, which requires

141
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 1: specific prep time and a lot more work. I have

142
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 1: seen some spray applications of poor fifteen, but from what

143
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 1: I'm reading, the best results are obtained with their brush

144
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 1: on product, and that takes a bit of work. That

145
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 1: takes a bit of doing. So bottom line, there there

146
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 1: are things out there that I think are better than undercoding.

147
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 1: He's fortunate and that it's a two thousand eight, he

148
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 1: should have vinyl coded brake lines on that truck. Two

149
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 1: thousand and eight was the first year four that two

150
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 1: thousand seven down. General Motors, trucks and SUVs all suffer

151
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 1: from steel lines, And for the record, if anybody out

152
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 1: there listening happens to own one of those, I definitely

153
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 1: have my mechanic look those lines over and be sure

154
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 1: they're not rusting and splitting or getting ready to split,

155
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 1: because that's a very common, big problem on GM product

156
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 1: right now, so much so that there's conversation about the

157
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 1: potential recall out there. But I haven't seen anything else

158
00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 1: beyond speculation. Iota because and you know, Mike, there's a

159
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 1: lot of rust issues on a lot of vehicles, but

160
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 1: for some reason, the public doesn't want to accept that

161
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 1: all cars break and all cars have their issues. But

162
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 1: m yeah, that's that's where he would be, sir. Okay,

163
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 1: thanks again. I appreciate You're very welcome, Mike. You take

164
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 1: good care. Rust is a huge issue and I can't

165
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 1: I can't warn us enough about it, and that we've

166
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 1: got to be you know, a little bit of due diligence.

167
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 1: And it's funny, you know, Mike, said g two thousand

168
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 1: and eight. It's like it's a new vehicle. You know.

169
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 1: It's funny. I thought of my plow truck as a

170
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 1: new vehicle to about three months ago, and I sat

171
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 1: down and I said, gee, here I am entering my

172
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,960
Speaker 1: eighth or ninth winter with it, and um, you know,

173
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, it's not new anymore. It's uh,

174
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:46,600
Speaker 1: it's a time to start thinking about you know, preventative maintenance.

175
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 1: Or it was quite some time ago, and I've been

176
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:51,560
Speaker 1: doing it ever since. Eight five zero nine nine zero zero.

177
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 1: The car Doctors coming back. Hey, LMC truck giveaway. Well,

178
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 1: we're supposed to give another one away this hour. Stay tuned,

179
00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 1: it could be you. We'll be back right after this.

180
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 1: Welcome backing of the car doctor taking his own highway

181
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 1: today at zero nine zero zero, let's get over and

182
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 1: talk to Allan from Warwick, New York. Ranger. Allen, you're

183
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 1: on with the car doctor. How can it helps her?

184
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:39,959
Speaker 1: How you doing today? Good? What's going on? He got

185
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 1: ninety three Ford Ranger? Uh, it's a three point now

186
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:49,960
Speaker 1: five Steed. I'm trying to bleed from the clutch. Yeah,

187
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 1: I've got a I've got a ninety seven three point

188
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 1: oh five speed. Let me tell you this is like

189
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 1: a religious experience. Uh you know, this is this is

190
00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 1: typical engineering, automotive engineering design at its best. They may

191
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 1: get so that you have to bleed fluid from a

192
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 1: system and then provide a limited method and way to

193
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 1: do it. Is the is the clutch master and slave

194
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 1: on the truck? The is the master on this integral

195
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:15,319
Speaker 1: with the break master alan or is it a separate

196
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:19,320
Speaker 1: clutch master. That's all separate, that's all separate. The way

197
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:21,559
Speaker 1: we bleed these. Now, where did you purchase the new

198
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 1: the new set up from from the dealer or the aftermarket? Well,

199
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 1: actually I'm driving the truck that probably used that a

200
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 1: year and a half ago. Okay, and you haven't you

201
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 1: haven't been able to get the air? Yeah? Six months? Right? Um,

202
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 1: you know what's a while, it's hard to getting the year?

203
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 1: Is yours? The setup where the bleeder is on the

204
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:43,200
Speaker 1: master or is there a bleeder on the slave as well?

205
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:47,079
Speaker 1: Just one on a slave. It's not on the master.

206
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 1: So right, it's mounted at an angle, so all the

207
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:57,080
Speaker 1: air is trapped at the other end. So the way

208
00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:59,840
Speaker 1: I've the way I've bled that particular one is I

209
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 1: will raise either the front or the back of the

210
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 1: vehicle with a floor jack, get it up good and high,

211
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 1: open the bleeder and let it sit. Sometimes I let

212
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 1: it sit. Sometimes I let it sit overnight. Now, if

213
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 1: you want to take it a different approach, take the

214
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:18,720
Speaker 1: master and the slave off the truck, bleed it off

215
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 1: the car. Well I did try doing that, but I

216
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:28,080
Speaker 1: can't get the master off the right going into it

217
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:32,880
Speaker 1: because it's frozen. Right. Well, yeah, back, I guess once

218
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:35,080
Speaker 1: it's put together and welcome back apart. Yeah, it's it's

219
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 1: a one way. You can't take the clutch pedal linkage off.

220
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 1: You can't take that rod off. Where is it? Is

221
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 1: it a captured rod up at the top there? What

222
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:48,840
Speaker 1: it goes into the master's Yeah? But together but that

223
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:52,200
Speaker 1: but the rod on the clutch pedal itself. Can't that

224
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 1: unclipped from the pedal assembly somehow? If you have to

225
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:56,320
Speaker 1: take the clutch pedal out, how would you take that

226
00:11:56,400 --> 00:12:01,719
Speaker 1: out apart? Okay, I just cannot get the whole thing

227
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:05,200
Speaker 1: out of Okay, then I think we're either gonna have

228
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 1: to raise one end or the other, or if you

229
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 1: can find them. Years ago, there used to be a

230
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:16,719
Speaker 1: product for bleeding hydraulics, the break fluid hypodermics. They look

231
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:19,720
Speaker 1: like giant hypodermic needles with a little rubber cushions on

232
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:22,200
Speaker 1: the end. Do you remember do you remember seeing those?

233
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:24,920
Speaker 1: They were out twenty years ago. I've still got a

234
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:27,960
Speaker 1: pile of them in the shop. And and basically you

235
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 1: fill them up with fluid. You tap the bubbles out,

236
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 1: you open the bleeder and you reverse bleed, put it

237
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 1: on the nipple on the slave and just reverse bleed

238
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 1: and push the fluid up into the master and hopefully

239
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 1: any air gets carried along with it and eventually burps

240
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 1: itself out. And you can you can try that as well.

241
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 1: Last thing, if it's not air, that particular trans for

242
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 1: gear oil calls for if I call right automatic trans fluid. Right, yeah,

243
00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 1: there is a change the trans oil. Okay. You you

244
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 1: may find that using General Motors manual gearbox oil makes

245
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 1: that trans shift a little better. I've got that truck

246
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:13,320
Speaker 1: Allen just five years newer. I've got a nineties seven

247
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 1: and I've been down this road. I actually run GM

248
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 1: manual gearbox fluid. In mind, it's not cheap stuff. The

249
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:21,959
Speaker 1: last time I bought it was twenty bucks a court

250
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 1: if I remember right right from General Motors. But it's

251
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 1: their manual trans fluid. It's what GM used to put

252
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:31,080
Speaker 1: in the old s ten blazers a million years ago. Uh.

253
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:33,080
Speaker 1: You know, it's just it's got a little bit more

254
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:36,440
Speaker 1: lubricating action to it and it will help it shift

255
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 1: and you know, be a little bit slicker in the

256
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 1: way that it works. So take a look at that

257
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:42,680
Speaker 1: and consider that. Listen, let me help you out. LMC

00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 1: The it's a two wheel drive vehicle. Traction issues, rain

00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 1: and snow. Um put down. My wife drives the car,

277

00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 1: has tracts to control, makes no difference on a rof.

280
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 1: The car is is screaming for you know, it's grabbed

285
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:11,880
Speaker 1: we're coming up on forty, getting ready to replace tires.

286
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 1: Like I said, it is a purchase, so I'm really

287
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 1: not looking to purchase another vehicle at this time. I

288
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 1: would look at the General Tire um, get over the

289
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 1: General Tire website and specifically go take a look at

290
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 1: the grab HTS all right, I am certain they make

291
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 1: it in that size, good solid tire. We put a

292
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:39,360
Speaker 1: set of those on a two wheel drive pickup truck

293
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 1: not too long ago with customer complaint about similar problems

294
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 1: and the back end of a small pickup truck like

295
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 1: this one was. They're generally kind of skitterer. Stay. You know,

296
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 1: you start out on a damp, dewey day and it

297
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 1: just it just it's just not happy, for lack of

298
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 1: a better word, and it you know, we put a

299
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:58,720
Speaker 1: little weight in the vehicle because it was the back

300
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 1: end and it solved his Remember, you know, he really

301
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 1: likes his grab R HTS is you know. One of

302
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 1: the things I will say about General Tire when I

303
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 1: when I look at tires, there's two things I consider.

304
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 1: I consider how easy is it going to be to

305
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:13,120
Speaker 1: get a replacement? Obviously, it's the it's the company in

306
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 1: their name and their reputation, which General has obviously, But

307
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 1: I also look at the technology. The ht S is

308
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 1: one of their newer tires in the last couple of years.

309
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 1: They put a lot of money into making that tire

310
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 1: and it should be around a long time, and the

311
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 1: technology seems to be right on the money. We sold

312
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 1: more than a few sets, and everybody seems to be

313
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 1: very happy with him. I would I would take a

314
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 1: real hard look at them. H Harry, Harry, Thomas, Sam,

315
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 1: Yes or HTS. They also have others and you can

316
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 1: review the website. They should also have an eight hundred

317
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 1: number there if I recall correctly that you can talk

318
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 1: to them. Say, listen, I've got this traverse. What do

319
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 1: you recommend? Here's the problem I'm having, and they can

320
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 1: kind of guide you accordingly from there. All right, sir,

321
00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 1: if you know anything else, you know where we are,

322
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 1: Hey coming up next. Uh. You know we talk about

323
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 1: the quality of parts and the race to the bottom. Well,

324
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 1: you know a lot of companies are out there are

325
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:11,320
Speaker 1: trying to help us solve that. It's um, it's it's

326
00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:13,919
Speaker 1: a real issue of late the quality of parts that

327
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 1: the automotive after market is facing, as well as the

328
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:18,000
Speaker 1: o ees. You know, the os don't have an easy

329
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:21,680
Speaker 1: road too. And we've reached out to the folks over

330
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:25,159
Speaker 1: at Delphi. Uh, we're gonna talk to Jeff Denty specifically,

331
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:27,119
Speaker 1: gonna be coming on to talk to us about some

332
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 1: of their products and some of the things they're doing

333
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:31,240
Speaker 1: because a lot of what they're doing is being applied

334
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:34,360
Speaker 1: across the board through many automotive manufacturers, and it's kind

335
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 1: of refreshing to take a look behind the scenes to

336
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 1: hear how manufacturers are are are really working to solve

337
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:44,720
Speaker 1: the problems for both o ees dealers and independence. Uh.

338
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:47,480
Speaker 1: You know what, what sort of generated this this conversation

339
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:50,480
Speaker 1: we're gonna have with Jeff is what I've noticed in

340
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 1: the last year and a half or so, and I

341
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 1: think I've talked about it freely here on here that

342
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 1: um a lot of issues with parts, a lot of

343
00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:00,240
Speaker 1: issues with things showing up that that don't seem to work,

344
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 1: and there's a lot that goes on behind the scenes here.

345
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 1: Let me let me prove it to you this way.

346
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:07,199
Speaker 1: You've got an email in front of me from a

347
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:10,800
Speaker 1: Ken in Cincinnati, Ohio. He's a service writer at a

348
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:13,960
Speaker 1: as he puts it, an import dealership, and he said, Ron,

349
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,160
Speaker 1: your comments a couple of weeks ago about the oil

350
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:18,840
Speaker 1: change by manufacturer's light are right on the money. If

351
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:22,040
Speaker 1: we're finding that the longer oral change intervals are proving

352
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:24,399
Speaker 1: to create consumption issues and a lot of vehicles are

353
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 1: as included, I won't mention the brand name. He says,

354
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:29,720
Speaker 1: baked and varnish oil in the rings are causing consumption

355
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:32,320
Speaker 1: and it's cheaper to change oil by time rather than

356
00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:34,840
Speaker 1: face the issue of oil consumption. So a lot of

357
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 1: things going on behind the scene, folks that we don't

358
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 1: know necessarily know about. Hey, coming up next, Jeff Dent Delphi.

359
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:59,359
Speaker 1: Stay tuned, We're back right after this. Welcome back, listeners.

360
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:00,879
Speaker 1: Want to name me in a car doctor? You know,

361
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 1: if you have been listening and are part of the

362
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:06,880
Speaker 1: car doctor nation. Uh, these many years you've heard me talk,

363
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:09,840
Speaker 1: especially this year, how we are in a race to

364
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:12,399
Speaker 1: the bottom when it comes to parts and parts quality,

365
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:15,240
Speaker 1: and it's an issue. It's an issue when you're repairing cars,

366
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:17,119
Speaker 1: whether you're doing it yourself or whether you're doing it

367
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 1: as a professional. And I'm constantly reaching out looking for

368
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 1: the sources of the best parts. And we wanted to

369
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 1: reach out at this particular point in time. We're approaching

370
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:30,119
Speaker 1: that time of year when fuel systems will be working

371
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 1: in colder weather. Um, not that hot weather isn't a

372
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:35,399
Speaker 1: problem either, there are some there are some issues with both,

373
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 1: but we thought it would be a good time off

374
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:38,919
Speaker 1: year to talk a little bit about fuel systems and

375
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:41,960
Speaker 1: some of the problems that can occur there. And we've

376
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 1: reached out and we are talking today with Jeff Dent.

377
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:48,240
Speaker 1: Jeff is the category product manager for the folks over

378
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:49,760
Speaker 1: at Delphine. We're glad to happen with us here on

379
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:52,359
Speaker 1: the car Doctor Jeff, Welcome aboard, sir, Thank you. I

380
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 1: appreciate the um. Let's talk a little bit about the

381
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:59,479
Speaker 1: importance of good parts. You know, you've been doing this

382
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:02,359
Speaker 1: a while. I know, and DELFI has been around forever.

383
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 1: And you know, one of my rants this year is

384
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:06,960
Speaker 1: we're in a race to the bottom. It seems that

385
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:11,360
Speaker 1: a lot of manufacturers are are trying to cheapen things up,

386
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 1: but Delphi's going in the opposite direction. You guys are

387
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 1: constantly working to make the best product, the best quality component,

388
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:21,359
Speaker 1: and I'm still bring it to market at a fair price.

389
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:23,280
Speaker 1: And uh, it's got to be a big issue for

390
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:26,639
Speaker 1: you guys. Now, Well, what we try to do here is,

391
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:29,639
Speaker 1: UH make sure that our our pumps and our fuel

392
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:36,160
Speaker 1: system components all are manufactured to the always specification. And uh,

393
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 1: I mean that's the that's the most important thing, right

394
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 1: because the vehicle vehicles are are built at UH and

395
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 1: their fuel systems are designed to work at a certain

396
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:52,120
Speaker 1: specific specification as specific flow pressure, current, and it's important

397
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 1: to meet those specifications in order for that system to run,

398
00:20:55,560 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 1: you know, and the best most efficient way possible. So um,

399
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:04,200
Speaker 1: you know, at Delphi we try to meet those always specifications.

400
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:07,560
Speaker 1: And I mean the problem is if you if you're

401
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 1: not meeting those exact always specifications, what's going to happen

402
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 1: is your system is not gonna work as efficiently as

403
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:16,120
Speaker 1: it should and you're gonna have for either premature failures

404
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:18,680
Speaker 1: or you're going to cause stress on other system components.

405
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 1: You know, we we we talk about fuel pumps, Jeff.

406
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 1: You know, is there a mileage range? When fuel pumps

407
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 1: go bad? When does the listener know to be concerned?

408
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:32,200
Speaker 1: Maybe it's time to start thinking about a fuel pump.

409
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 1: Cars last longer today and and and fuel pumps have

410
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 1: to last longer too, right right, I mean quality has

411
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:41,160
Speaker 1: gotten better over the years. I think no one would

412
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:44,399
Speaker 1: disagree with that, and you'll see in replacement rates and

413
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:48,280
Speaker 1: things like that, those are generally going down overall. But um,

414
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:51,680
Speaker 1: there's no specific mileage range necessarily, but we do test

415
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:55,159
Speaker 1: our product up to a hundred fifty thous miles. The

416
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:58,439
Speaker 1: pumps themselves up too hundred fifty thousand miles, so we

417
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:01,520
Speaker 1: know what we're making a all the unit. So I

418
00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:04,400
Speaker 1: mean that's you know that you we can say miles

419
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:06,520
Speaker 1: driven or something like that, but it's also you know,

420
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:09,360
Speaker 1: how much time are you sitting in traffic? Right? How

421
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:11,320
Speaker 1: much time are you just idling? I mean that all

422
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 1: that all can wear on the on the fuel pump

423
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:15,600
Speaker 1: life as well it used to be, and I still

424
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 1: think it's true today that one of the factors that

425
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:22,600
Speaker 1: led to a fuel pumps possible early failure was something

426
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:24,440
Speaker 1: as simple as how much fuel do you keep in

427
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 1: the tank? Isn't it true that, you know, if you

428
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:28,400
Speaker 1: tend to run the tank a quarter tank or more,

429
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 1: you've got that pump in in liquid which helps keep

430
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:33,679
Speaker 1: it cool. It is an electric motor, it would make

431
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:37,439
Speaker 1: sense now. I mean that is especially on some of

432
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 1: the older style as well, when you're not when you

433
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:42,520
Speaker 1: don't have what we call the fuel module where there's

434
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:47,200
Speaker 1: a plastic bucket that keeps the pump in in fuel constantly.

435
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:50,639
Speaker 1: But if you're having a maybe an older unit, that's uh,

436
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:53,159
Speaker 1: you know where the pump is exposed to whatever is

437
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:57,960
Speaker 1: in the tank. Um, and the fuel levels low, it's

438
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:00,879
Speaker 1: not getting maybe the cooling that it wires. You know,

439
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:03,360
Speaker 1: if you're in a hot area or there's there could

440
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:07,440
Speaker 1: be condensation in the tank if it's not kept the

441
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:09,960
Speaker 1: fuel is not kept up around the fuel pump. But

442
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:13,720
Speaker 1: but I mean also what you're looking at is, uh,

443
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:15,439
Speaker 1: you know, if you get down to a less than

444
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:17,280
Speaker 1: a quarter of a tank, you're right at the you know,

445
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:20,080
Speaker 1: at the bottom of the tank, you're gonna be sucking

446
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 1: in not only the last bits of fuel, but I

447
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:25,000
Speaker 1: need to breathe. It might be on the bottom and

448
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:28,200
Speaker 1: that's an issue obviously for the pump itself. Jeff, when

449
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:31,440
Speaker 1: they get around to replacing the fuel pump, the advantages

450
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:33,920
Speaker 1: you know, if you're gonna replace the entire fuel pump assembly,

451
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:36,360
Speaker 1: use the word module, and it's a good one. Um,

452
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:39,320
Speaker 1: there are advantages to replacing the entire fuel pump assembly

453
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 1: as a module versus I realize it's cheaper just to

454
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:45,239
Speaker 1: do a pump, but there are some issues there, right right,

455
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:48,320
Speaker 1: I mean, I think the biggest advantage in doing the

456
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:52,000
Speaker 1: full module is that it's it's a little bit easier

457
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:54,240
Speaker 1: in that you can just take out the old module,

458
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 1: put in a new module, make the connections, and you

459
00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:00,400
Speaker 1: should be ready to go. Whereas when you're only replacing

460
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:02,800
Speaker 1: the pump, there's some disassembly work you have to do.

461
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:06,720
Speaker 1: Um you're connecting a new connector to an old connector.

462
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:10,760
Speaker 1: Uh and that can you know that could uh prove

463
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:14,000
Speaker 1: to be an issue possibly? Um So, it's I think,

464
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:17,200
Speaker 1: you know in the secondary advantage, it's just you're replacing

465
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:20,560
Speaker 1: all the components on that fuel assembly in one in

466
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 1: one swoop, So you're taking out some of the room

467
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:28,760
Speaker 1: for error, some of those connections and and uh sensors

468
00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:30,480
Speaker 1: and things like that. Yeah, you know, when you when

469
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:32,560
Speaker 1: you stop to think about ethanol and fuel and some

470
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:35,399
Speaker 1: of the things ethanol can create as issues. If it

471
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:38,200
Speaker 1: affected the life of the pump, there are other electric

472
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 1: electrics electronics if you will, in the tank and and

473
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:45,640
Speaker 1: those are going to be affected as well. Um So, yeah,

474
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 1: it does make sense change everything as a module in

475
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:50,040
Speaker 1: and out. It's fresh, it's ready to go. Is it

476
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 1: difficult if you were going to describe to the listeners

477
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:55,479
Speaker 1: Jeff for diagnosing and replacing a fuel pump, what are

478
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:57,119
Speaker 1: some of the steps they might want to consider? They

479
00:24:57,119 --> 00:25:01,639
Speaker 1: have to take. There's some pretty basic some some tests

480
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:04,120
Speaker 1: that you can do, UM just to make sure it's

481
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:06,399
Speaker 1: the pump. I mean a lot of the lot of

482
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:08,639
Speaker 1: what happens is you know, the car won't start, or

483
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:10,480
Speaker 1: the fuels not getting the engine, though it must be

484
00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 1: the fuel pump, and what you really want to do

485
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 1: is make sure that's the problem, because the last thing

486
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:18,000
Speaker 1: that you really want to do is take the time

487
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 1: and you know, drop the fuel tank and do all

488
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:23,240
Speaker 1: that work, you know, hours of work, potentially one to

489
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:26,639
Speaker 1: two hours of work or more when it's actually an

490
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:30,400
Speaker 1: electrical issue. So we recommend doing tests like a voltage

491
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:34,240
Speaker 1: drop between the battery and the fuel system. UM flow

492
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:37,160
Speaker 1: tests make sure that the flow the pumps flowing properly

493
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:41,200
Speaker 1: and not only flowing, but flowing at the correct pressure

494
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:44,120
Speaker 1: because if it's low or high there you might have

495
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:47,160
Speaker 1: some kind of blockage issue with fuel lines or something

496
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:50,720
Speaker 1: like that. All those things, uh, you know, would lead

497
00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:53,200
Speaker 1: you while you're not getting the fuel to the engine,

498
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:56,159
Speaker 1: which might you know, people would automatically jump to the

499
00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:59,199
Speaker 1: fuel pump. It's it might be easier to replace you know,

500
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:01,640
Speaker 1: a fuel real a or something like that as opposed

501
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 1: to doing all the work to replace the fuel pump, right,

502
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 1: sure you know what you're doing before you just start

503
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:12,200
Speaker 1: changing parts like diagnosed, diagnosed, diagnosed, UM cleaning the tank, Jeff,

504
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:14,160
Speaker 1: do you still see issues with that at this point

505
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:16,680
Speaker 1: in the game. Is it important? I think it's a

506
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:19,560
Speaker 1: very important. I think it's a step that doesn't get

507
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 1: taken in many cases, especially I know you've have you've

508
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:27,160
Speaker 1: probably seen those vehicles that have the trunk access to

509
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:30,399
Speaker 1: the fuel of module unit UM. In those cases, a

510
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:32,520
Speaker 1: lot of times the tank doesn't get dropped and as

511
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:36,640
Speaker 1: as as a result, doesn't get it doesn't get cleaned UM.

512
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:40,360
Speaker 1: And the danger there is contaminations one of the biggest

513
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 1: causes of fuel pump failure. So if you're not cleaning

514
00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:48,679
Speaker 1: out your fuel system or your fuel tank, UM, chances

515
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 1: are if you replace the fuel pump, it's gonna fail

516
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:54,520
Speaker 1: again earlier than it should, or some component is going

517
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 1: to go bad because there's contamination in the tank. So

518
00:26:57,280 --> 00:26:59,879
Speaker 1: an important step. So the logic there, and I agree

519
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:02,040
Speaker 1: if if if there was contamination, to take out the

520
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:05,159
Speaker 1: first pump, you know what, there's not gonna do a

521
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:07,480
Speaker 1: whole lot of good for the second pump, and UM

522
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:10,480
Speaker 1: that's that's an issue, Jeff. I appreciate the time, sir.

523
00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:13,040
Speaker 1: Is there a place the listeners can go for more information?

524
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:16,600
Speaker 1: Absolutely what we have. We're on Facebook and Twitter and

525

Speaker 1: product we have perfect cool beans. Hey, Jeff, we appreciate

529
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:32,200
Speaker 1: you taking the time and a big hate from the

530
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:33,840
Speaker 1: Car Doctor for all the good that you folks at

531
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:36,640
Speaker 1: Delphi do. We'll talk again real soon. Take good care.

532
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:39,240
Speaker 1: Thank you, appreciate the time. You're very welcome, sir. I'm

533
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:41,280
Speaker 1: running any in the car doctor. We are back right

534
00:27:41,320 --> 00:28:02,560
Speaker 1: after this. We yellow lad to stand out on it,

535
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:11,159
Speaker 1: but hey, welcome back. Why don't they of the car

536
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:14,040
Speaker 1: Doctor rolling along? Let's get over and talk to Let's

537
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:18,920
Speaker 1: go and talk to Roxanna, Palm Springs, California. Nissan Sentra. Hi, Roxanne,

538
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:20,399
Speaker 1: how are you? How can I help you? Hi? Hi?

539
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 1: I'm not pretty good? Run? Hi? Yeah, Nissan Sentra. I

540
00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:29,600
Speaker 1: bought it new um Since about the last two oil changes,

541
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:35,080
Speaker 1: the dealers suggested break, fluid change or flush. You know,

542
00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:40,920
Speaker 1: they say it's getting dark. Car has miles now, so

543
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:43,600
Speaker 1: kind of I'm just kind of wondering is it necessary

544
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:48,200
Speaker 1: now or um, it seems rather new to be doing that. UM.

545
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:50,200
Speaker 1: I can tell you the cars used in a business,

546
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:53,560
Speaker 1: so it does get some use. Um, you know on

547
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:56,400
Speaker 1: springs here. Yeah, you know we've had this summer day

548
00:28:56,520 --> 00:29:00,320
Speaker 1: heats up to seventeen degrees. But you know what heat

549
00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:03,000
Speaker 1: heat in your case, it's it's a dry heat, correct,

550
00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:07,400
Speaker 1: So you know, and you're if if we're worried about environment,

551
00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:10,840
Speaker 1: in your case, dry heat is good for the break fluid,

552
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:12,440
Speaker 1: it won't. You know, there's not that much moisture for

553
00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:14,960
Speaker 1: it to absorb or it's it's it's not as prevalent

554
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:16,320
Speaker 1: as it would be. Saying if the car was in

555
00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:19,760
Speaker 1: New Hampshire Vermont. Uh, you know where there's where there's

556
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:24,120
Speaker 1: more moisture and and that type of environment. So bottom line,

557
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:26,880
Speaker 1: unless you really are gung home about buying the service

558
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:28,880
Speaker 1: right or lawn furniture, I don't think you really need

559
00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:30,480
Speaker 1: to change break fluid at this point in the life

560
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:33,760
Speaker 1: of the car, you know, at thirty thousand and I

561
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:35,800
Speaker 1: would rather see you stay with your traditional what i'll

562
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:39,200
Speaker 1: call the traditional service schedule. If you want to over

563
00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:43,240
Speaker 1: medicate the car a little bit and change fluid a

564
00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:45,720
Speaker 1: little early, do it at thirty. That way, it's easy

565
00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:47,600
Speaker 1: to remember you did it at thirty, you did it

566
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:50,880
Speaker 1: at sixty, you did it at ninety. But truth be told,

567
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:53,680
Speaker 1: if you look at the color of the fluid, if

568
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:55,960
Speaker 1: I'll be willing to bet the break fluid has still

569
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:59,360
Speaker 1: got a nice golden yellow to it. It hasn't discolored yet,

570
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:03,560
Speaker 1: and you can probably go another year. It's the cars

571
00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:07,640
Speaker 1: too new. You're absolutely right. Um. You know, as I've

572
00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:10,000
Speaker 1: been saying the past couple of weeks, it seems like

573
00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:14,520
Speaker 1: this is really becoming a problem in the industry that

574
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:19,520
Speaker 1: there's less for dealerships to sell. This problem is gonna

575
00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:21,640
Speaker 1: work its way down to the aftermarket shops too. In

576
00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:25,800
Speaker 1: my opinion, the newer cars need less. They still need

577
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:29,240
Speaker 1: common sense maintenance. They just need it. They don't need

578
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 1: it as soon as they once did. And you know

579
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:36,800
Speaker 1: when once the car hits two and a half years old,

580
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:39,680
Speaker 1: then we're gonna go to a normal service schedule. Until then,

581
00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:42,719
Speaker 1: it's you know, how generous do you want to be

582
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:44,680
Speaker 1: and how how good of care do you want to

583
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:47,440
Speaker 1: take care? Of it. It's a commercial vehicle, it's probably

584
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:50,000
Speaker 1: a business. Right off, you're gonna keep it three to

585
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:51,720
Speaker 1: five years and then get rid of it and start

586
00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 1: over again because it will have enough miles on it. Maybe, um,

587
00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 1: you know that's all you need to do. There's there's

588
00:30:57,120 --> 00:31:00,160
Speaker 1: no need. The one way to do this, you know,

589
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:02,960
Speaker 1: Heaven forbid Roun disappeared next week. You know. One of

590
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:04,880
Speaker 1: the things I always say to everybody, if I weren't here,

591
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:07,760
Speaker 1: how would you get information? First stop, is the owner's

592
00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:11,520
Speaker 1: manual a right? What is the manufacturer's owners manuals say

593
00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:14,840
Speaker 1: for the vehicle you're driving. That's not the Bible, but

594
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:17,880
Speaker 1: it's a good place to start. The second step. The

595
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:20,280
Speaker 1: second thing you have to think about is where do

596
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:25,000
Speaker 1: you live? What's the environment? Dirty? Dusty, okay, that's one environment.

597
00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 1: You know, humid, snow, a lot of outside element conditions.

598
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:32,040
Speaker 1: That's another factor. See, you've got a way that as

599
00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 1: part and parcel of it too. There's no way any manufacturer.

600
00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:41,400
Speaker 1: I'm I'm building up to ironism here, right Roxham. There's

601
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:45,680
Speaker 1: no way any manufacturer can sell a product in the

602
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:50,080
Speaker 1: United States and say they all need this anywhere in

603
00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:55,360
Speaker 1: the country at at this mileage because every situation, every

604
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:57,960
Speaker 1: region is different. I sat down and I thought about it.

605
00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:01,320
Speaker 1: I mapped out the country. There's about having different regions

606
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:04,080
Speaker 1: of auto repair around the country in terms of you know,

607
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:07,480
Speaker 1: in Florida, it's about air conditioning in in the in

608
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:10,760
Speaker 1: New England it's about you know, heat, in the Midwest,

609
00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:13,520
Speaker 1: it's about one thing, and you know, it all varies.

610
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:17,160
Speaker 1: So I think what you're running into is a dealership

611
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:19,320
Speaker 1: being a little over zealous. And as a matter of fact,

612
00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:22,239
Speaker 1: you're in California. Was talking about it prior Dave. If

613
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:25,040
Speaker 1: you want to go google flush wallet flushing in California,

614
00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:26,960
Speaker 1: and you should come up with some articles about the

615
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:29,880
Speaker 1: service issues they're seeing in the state with automobiles, and

616
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:31,840
Speaker 1: you can kind of read that and take the rest

617
00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:34,920
Speaker 1: from there. All right, it sounds good. You have been

618
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:39,920
Speaker 1: more concerned about the transmission, and that's that's and that's

619
00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:41,960
Speaker 1: a little early too. I would tell you thirty thousand,

620
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:45,440
Speaker 1: it's air cabin, some fuel system cleaning, and uh, depending

621
00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:47,840
Speaker 1: upon the trans maybe fluid. But it's probably early for

622
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:49,680
Speaker 1: all that. To take a look at the owner's mount

623
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:51,480
Speaker 1: If you have any more questions, give me a call back.

624
00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:54,480
Speaker 1: Five five zero nine zero, run on any of the

625
00:32:54,480 --> 00:33:23,440
Speaker 1: car doctor back right after this you, Hey, welcome back

626
00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:25,360
Speaker 1: the car Doctor. You know I've got in front of me.

627
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:27,800
Speaker 1: Remember last hour, I think it was last hour from

628
00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:29,920
Speaker 1: Bob out and I with the comments about the Kia,

629
00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:32,160
Speaker 1: And I've got the letter from Kei and it talks

630
00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:35,200
Speaker 1: about Kia putting let's see and conducting a voluntary service

631
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:38,160
Speaker 1: campaign to add additional anti corrosion material to the underbody

632
00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:42,320
Speaker 1: of my Soul vehicles that originally sold the currently rich

633
00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:44,920
Speaker 1: in the United States. Well, they're gonna put this in.

634
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:47,280
Speaker 1: What will Kia do? Kia deal is really at additional

635
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:49,440
Speaker 1: anti corrosion material to the under body of your vehicle.

636
00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:52,480
Speaker 1: This work will be performed a keya's expense at no

637
00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:54,920
Speaker 1: cost to you, the vehicle owner. So why are they

638
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:58,080
Speaker 1: charging them eighty dollars a wheel? Doesn't make any sense. So, um,

639
00:33:58,120 --> 00:34:00,360
Speaker 1: if you're out there listening, don just be aware. There's

640
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:03,320
Speaker 1: a something rotten in Denmark. It's called lawn furniture. Let's

641
00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:05,240
Speaker 1: get over a pulse. Stanton, Virginia, Paul, Welcome to the

642
00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:06,840
Speaker 1: Car Doctor, sir. How can I help on my last

643
00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:10,399
Speaker 1: couple of three minutes here Y got a ninety one

644
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:15,359
Speaker 1: Bronco and it's full size with the automatic overdraw transmission

645
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:19,920
Speaker 1: and uh, when you when you when you's when it's

646
00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:23,120
Speaker 1: still cold and I've warmed up yet. Uh, and you've

647
00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:25,880
Speaker 1: got it in gear at idle you can hear a

648
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:31,080
Speaker 1: R and it is from the transmission. You know, if

649
00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:33,600
Speaker 1: you if you put your head under the hood, you

650
00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:35,920
Speaker 1: don't hear can you can you make that sound one

651
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:39,799
Speaker 1: more time? It's like a Now it sounds like when

652
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:42,560
Speaker 1: a when a power serium pump as well? What its fluid?

653
00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:47,160
Speaker 1: And but I checked, I checked those a dipsticks and uh,

654
00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:50,719
Speaker 1: it's um, it's right where it should be. If if

655
00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:53,160
Speaker 1: you shifted, is this in gear in park when it

656
00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:57,160
Speaker 1: makes that noise? Okay? If you change it and put

657
00:34:57,200 --> 00:34:58,920
Speaker 1: it in reverse or you know, if you're in reverse,

658
00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:01,200
Speaker 1: if you go to drive, if you go to the

659
00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:04,480
Speaker 1: go to an opposite gear, does it change anything? If

660
00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:07,920
Speaker 1: you go to park, does it change anything? No, it

661
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:11,200
Speaker 1: seems to be the same. H. Once, once you've driven

662
00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:14,279
Speaker 1: like two miles, you could stop and let's support and

663
00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:16,960
Speaker 1: it's gone. Does it sound like so? So? Does it

664
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:19,560
Speaker 1: sound like a power steering system that's that's low on

665
00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:24,360
Speaker 1: fluid per se. That's exactly what it sounds like, UM,

666
00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:29,160
Speaker 1: and you know it's it's it's not loud, but so

667
00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:33,319
Speaker 1: it's like at the very beginning higher mileage on the

668
00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:35,480
Speaker 1: trans itself. Paul, I'm not gonna ask the vehicle. It's

669
00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:37,239
Speaker 1: an older vehicle. I'm sure it's got miles on it.

670
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:40,160
Speaker 1: How many miles around the unit? Actually, the whole vehicle

671
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:45,120
Speaker 1: has only got as you know, but it's a ninety one.

672
00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:46,839
Speaker 1: It's so it's a two thousand one, it's twenty five

673
00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:49,239
Speaker 1: years old. You know, what you could be faced with

674
00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:51,719
Speaker 1: is some of the internal seals and the trans particularly

675
00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:54,000
Speaker 1: the front pump, the rubbers a little dried out, and

676
00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:56,320
Speaker 1: it's not providing as good a hydraulic seal as it

677
00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:59,719
Speaker 1: once did when it was warm. So perhaps there are

678
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:03,960
Speaker 1: UM seal supplements that you could purchase local lotoparts door

679
00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:07,120
Speaker 1: try one of those Lucas makes a great transadditive that

680
00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:10,359
Speaker 1: you could possibly take a shot at that and see

681
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:13,480
Speaker 1: what that does for you. But I probably wouldn't get

682
00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:16,600
Speaker 1: into it until it showed me further symptoms because the

683
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:19,160
Speaker 1: cost to replace it UM might be more than you

684
00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:21,279
Speaker 1: need to at this particular point. Let me know your

685
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:23,160
Speaker 1: thoughts are not on any of the car. Doctor mechanics

686
00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:37,560
Speaker 1: aren't expensive, they're priceless. See
