Speaker 1: Ron An aian.

2
00:00:02,440 --> 00:00:04,320
Speaker 2: At least you've got symptoms. At least you've got to

3
00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:06,360
Speaker 2: check engine light. You've got to track your control light.

4
00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:09,920
Speaker 2: You know you're going to see and gain some solid

5
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:12,479
Speaker 2: information as far as a code scan.

6
00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:22,320
Speaker 3: Where are we rode in? Trust the car Doctor? What's

7
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:24,200
Speaker 3: the dealer quoting you to do the bearings?

8
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:25,680
Speaker 4: And I'm about thirteen hundred.

9
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 2: It's worth reading a manual, isn't it better?

10
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:28,920
Speaker 4: Yeah?

11
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 1: There is Welcome to the radio home of ron Anian

12
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:36,280
Speaker 1: the Car Doctor. Since nineteen ninety one, this is where

13
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:40,159
Speaker 1: car owners the world overturned to for their definitive opinion

00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:44,159
Speaker 1: on automotive repair. If your mechanics giving you a busy signal,

15
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:47,919
Speaker 1: pick up the phone and call in. The garage doors.

Speaker 1: Hundred and now he running.

19
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 2: I wonder what goes through the mind of some of

20
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:04,960
Speaker 2: the vehicle owners out there, because, you know, in conversation

21
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 2: with with some of you during the course of the

22
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 2: week at the shop, the conversations just leave me scratching

23
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:15,120
Speaker 2: my head. We had a Kia owner come in this week,

24
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:18,839
Speaker 2: and you know we haven't seen them in quite some time,

25
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 2: and it was nine thousand miles overdue for its last

26
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:29,399
Speaker 2: oil change. Wait here comes to Mikia Hikeia. I knew

27
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 2: Tom would. I knew Tom would pick up on this

28
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:36,039
Speaker 2: the minute, and it was nine thousand miles overdo its

29
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 2: oil change. And you know, I what do you do

30
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 2: with that? You know, because Kia, Kia and Hyundai are

31
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 2: both known, it's known in the trades, right they have issues.

32
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 2: They have engine issues. They're not they have the durability

33
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 2: of a sack of potato chips in the Atlantic Ocean

34
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 2: on a bad day at sea. You know, they're just

35
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 2: not great. And you know they've they've had multiple engine

36
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,080
Speaker 2: failure issues, and you know you want to try do

37
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 2: everything you can to try and keep it going as

38
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 2: long as you can. And when I when I asked,

39
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 2: when I spoke to the owner, how did you go? Well,

40
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 2: you know, I figured the price of the oil change

41
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 2: exceeded the value of the car, So what difference would

42
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 2: it make? You know, I just figured I'd keep the

43
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 2: car going and you'll see how fear I could get

44
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 2: out of it. And well, okay, I guess I should

45
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:25,919
Speaker 2: start changing the oil again. You think, you know, look,

46
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 2: we got to look at this from a safety perspective.

47
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 2: You know, if you're if you want the car to

48
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 2: just die, just let's drain the oil out of it

49
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 2: and just take it around the block. Believe me, it'll

50
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 2: just it'll just it'll cut to the chase. It's sort

51
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 2: of like, you know, it's sort of like the difference

52
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 2: between drinking beer and visiting the toilet right away. I mean,

53
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 2: just cut the middleman out. Just pour it down the

54
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:47,080
Speaker 2: drain right away and get rid of it.

55
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 5: You know.

56
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 2: It's it's you've got to do the maintenance. You've got

57
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 2: to do the due diligence, you've got to do the

58
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 2: oil changes, you've got to do the basics. It's just there,

59
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 2: you know, because otherwise you're gonna be headed for a

60
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:00,360
Speaker 2: new vehicle. And right now, new vehicles are still at

61
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 2: a premium.

62
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 4: You know.

63
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 2: I was reading a report the other day. They talked

64
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 2: about how new vehicles are out of the reach of

65
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 2: more Americans now than ever before. And you know, the

66
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 2: state of the economy, the state of you know, the

67
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 2: supply chain, the amount of vehicles out there. It's you know,

68
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 2: I know of someone she was trying to sell a

69
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 2: twenty fourteen escape as a matter of fact, and Kelly

70
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,919
Speaker 2: Bluebook said the car was worth ninety five hundred dollars

71
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,920
Speaker 2: or nine thousand dollars something like that, and they were

72
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,079
Speaker 2: asking seventy five hundred bucks for it, and they couldn't

73
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 2: get anybody to show up. And then people were showing up.

74
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 2: They started showing up at six thousand. They couldn't get

75
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 2: anybody to buy the car at six thousand, and I

76
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 2: ended up speaking to him about it, and they said,

77
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 2: what do you think's wrong? And I said, I don't

78
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 2: think anything's wrong. I don't think anybody can write a

79
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 2: check for six thousand dollars right now. I think that's

80
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 2: the problem. I think money's that tight. And it just

81
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 2: makes me realize that people need to, you know, take

82
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 2: one hundred percent care of their vehicle. They've got to

83
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 2: get as long as they can out of it. And

84
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 2: you know, that's why I'm here after all these years,

85
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 2: because I've sort of dedicated myself to the fact that

86
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 2: when you guys stopped asking questions, I'll disappear. But until then,

87
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 2: let's keep them going. But nine thousand miles on an

88
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 2: oil change, Holy smokes, I mean, I know it's a

89
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 2: kiya you know. I called Tom up in the middle

90
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 2: of the week when I was telling him this story,

91
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 2: and I explained to him that, you know, there is

92
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:19,719
Speaker 2: one good thing about Akiya. It makes a Volkswagon look good.

93
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 2: So you know, just well it does right, it does right.

94
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 2: You know, birds won't even birds won't even get near

95
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 2: a Kia. They figured, why I waste it? It already

96
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 2: is let's uh, let's go over to uh Randy online

97
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 2: one and see what's going on here Randy and Virginia

98
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:40,720
Speaker 2: fourteen Nissan Frontier and uh as long as good morning Randy,

99
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,599
Speaker 2: after it's one of the other listening, it's it's it's

100
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 2: morning after you in the evening. I answer the phone

101
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:47,839
Speaker 2: at all times, whole hours of the day. What's going on? Brother?

102
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 2: How can I help?

103
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 6: And I'm so glad you do you man, I'm really

104
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 6: hoping you can help me out for sure. So I

105
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:56,599
Speaker 6: drive a twenty fourteen Frontier. I've had the trucking on time.

106
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 6: It's got about one hundred and eighty thousand miles on it,

107
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 6: and about five miles ago I realized that one of

108
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 6: the front roaders I thought was probably worked because I

109
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,119
Speaker 6: just touched the brake pedal in the steering middle starts shaking.

110
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 6: So I took it into a repair shop, local shop,

111
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 6: recommended shop and asked them to fix my brakes and

112
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 6: they said, yeah, you're gonna need some roators. You're gonna

113
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 6: need new pads, and they do all that and they

114
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:20,720
Speaker 6: get the truck out and I go to drive way.

115
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:22,719
Speaker 6: I realized I had no brakes at all and run

116
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 6: into the curb to stop the truck with the emergency

117
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 6: brank and I said, hey, guys, there's a problem here.

118
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:28,839
Speaker 4: And they pull it back.

119
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 6: In and they take another day and they say, oh, yeah,

120
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 6: you need a new master cylinder, you need new calipers. Anyway,

121
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 6: about a thousand dollars later, I get the truck and

122
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:40,839
Speaker 6: the brakes are not right, so they're spongy, they feel

123
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:42,480
Speaker 6: like there's some arin lines. So I take it to

124
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:45,480
Speaker 6: another shop that I've used to do my vehicle inspection

125
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 6: because it was time for a safety inspection. And he

126
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 6: told me, yeah, the pedal stuck, but he couldn't figure out.

127
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:51,599
Speaker 5: What the problem was.

128
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:53,600
Speaker 6: And I thought, well, you know what, Ron and Indian's

129
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 6: going to be my man. Hopefully you can help me.

130
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:58,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, so let's you know, let's let's back up here,

131
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:01,920
Speaker 2: so you know, let's let's new parts, old parts. Let's

132
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 2: diagnose it like we would anything else. You know, they

133
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 2: the first shop. I've got to tell you for a

134
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 2: vehicle to leave the shop and not have breaks that

135
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:13,600
Speaker 2: just got worked on, you know, I guess it's possible

136
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:15,360
Speaker 2: that at that moment the high mile one hundred and

137
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 2: eighty thousand mile vehicle, you know, lost the master cylinder.

138
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 2: But it sure seems coincidental. You've got to hope that

139
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 2: they road tested it after they did the break work

140
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 2: and they just didn't park it out front, but it

141
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:27,360
Speaker 2: you know, it must have had breaks when it rolled

142
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 2: out of the bay. Otherwise they they they can't be that,

143
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 2: you know, in that that they wouldn't say something and

144
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:36,599
Speaker 2: tell you, hey, this is bad. I'm curious.

145
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 6: Well, they did seem very apologetic, but yeah, it wasn't right,

146
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:42,720
Speaker 6: and they knew it was right right after I pointed

147
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:44,360
Speaker 6: it out. But yeah, they didn't do any of that.

148
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 2: You know, I'm curious.

149
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:47,599
Speaker 6: That's when I picked a different shop.

150
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 2: Well, and I understand that, because you know, it's it's listening.

151
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 2: Once once somebody loses trust in you, it's hard to

152
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 2: gain that back. It's really very important, you know. You know,

153
00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 2: I'm curious if when they retracted the calibers, you know,

154
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 2: they had to push the caliber pistons back in too.

155
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 2: And this is sort of a rhetorical question, but you know,

156
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 2: when they pushed the caliber pistons back in, did they

157
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 2: draw fluid out of the Master so that it didn't

158
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 2: spill over? You know? And then I'm curious, did they

159
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 2: open the bleeders and purge it that way? Did they

160
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 2: push the old you know, how dirty is the fluid?

161
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 5: Did it?

162
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 2: I'm trying to think of what would make the Master

163
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 2: fail like that, you know, it just it.

164
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 6: Just doesn't make a lot of I don't even know

165
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 6: the rbly honest, I felt like they were throwing parts

166
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 6: at it.

167
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 4: You know.

168
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 6: They told me that they had actually replaced all the

169
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 6: fluid by bleeding it all down through the bleeders. Two

170
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 6: different times they told me they they had done this,

171
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 6: and it never got any better.

172
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 2: So the so the vehicle still has a bad pedal.

173
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 6: It does, Yeah, it feels very sauty. It almost feels

174
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 6: like I can pump it up a little bit, like

175
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 6: there's some air somewhere. But I've got two shots. Not

176
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 6: able to figure out where it is?

177
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 2: All right, So what's what's what's going on with the

178
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:01,679
Speaker 2: rear brakes? These the rears are disc drum correct?

179
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 6: I'm pretty sure there.

180
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, has anybody looked at their ears?

181
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 6: Well, they replace all of it.

182
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 2: Okay, So they did four wheel they did four wheel

183
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 2: brakes correct. Calibers and wheel cylinders. That's that's what I was,

184
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 2: all right, calibers and cylinders.

185
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 6: And then then it was still soft. So they thought,

186
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 6: even though the Master isn't leaking, it's got to be

187
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 6: the Masters. Do they replace the Master vehicle?

188
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 2: Have a BS? Yes, it does, okay and okay, So

189
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 2: my next question would be, you know, we've got to

190
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 2: We've got to kind of work through this, right, you know,

191
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,320
Speaker 2: it's it's the first thing I would want to do

192
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 2: is if I bleed the Master and I plugged the

193
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 2: ports at the Master, you know where the lines come in?

194
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:54,679
Speaker 2: Does it Does it have a good pedal? The first thing,

195
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:56,080
Speaker 2: the first thing I want to do is verified do

196
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 2: I have a good Master cylinder? And I don't care

197
00:08:57,640 --> 00:08:58,959
Speaker 2: if it's new, I don't care if it's played it

198
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 2: in gold. I don't care if they dropped it in

199
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 2: from Japan and said here it is right from Nissan headquarters.

200
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:06,440
Speaker 2: New means never ever worked in my book. I just

201
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 2: want to know is the master any good? All right?

202
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 2: You know? And it's a simple enough test. So if

203
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 2: they block off the bleeder, you know where the lines

204
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 2: come in? Can I Can I get a decent pedal?

205
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 2: Let's eliminate the master? Then I want to go down.

206
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 2: You know, if I block off one half of the system,

207
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 2: if I bleed out the fronts and leave that backport disconnected,

208
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:29,679
Speaker 2: do I have a pedal that's halfway decent? And then

209
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:31,960
Speaker 2: vice versa for the rear. And then the other thing

210
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,320
Speaker 2: that's on my mind is if this has anti lock breaks?

211
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 2: Is the anti lock is the anti lock brake controller

212
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 2: loaded with their when they did this? Did they did

213
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 2: they somehow empty the system? All right? You know this

214
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 2: this should have this should have an anti lock brake

215
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:52,560
Speaker 2: controller sitting on the right front fender. Well, if I

216
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:57,320
Speaker 2: remember right fourteen frontier, all right, And if it's got

217
00:09:57,400 --> 00:09:59,319
Speaker 2: air in it, you know, all the bleeding in the

218
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 2: world air is to be trapped up, trapped up in

219
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,320
Speaker 2: those inlet valves. All the bleeding in the world's not

220
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 2: going to release it, and they're going to need a

221
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:09,280
Speaker 2: scan tool to go through and do abs manual bleed

222
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 2: or an automated bleed depending upon what the scan tool

223
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 2: hasn't it what the manufacturer allows, so you know.

224
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 6: Okay, So the second shop I took it to had

225
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 6: said that that was the probable issue, okay, and if

226
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 6: they had the tool, and then they told me that

227
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 6: this model year didn't have that. I think that that

228
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 6: ability and so that wasn't a possibility. So now I'm thinking,

229
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:32,720
Speaker 6: do I need a third shop?

230
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 2: Well either that, well, either that or does their scan

231
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 2: tool not have it? These is, you know, the most

232
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:46,720
Speaker 2: the most important question to ask any repair shop okay,

233
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 2: not can you fix my vehicle? Not are you honest?

234
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:52,080
Speaker 2: You know, somebody walks into the shop and says, are

235
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 2: you an honest mechanic? I think that's the dumbest question

236
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 2: anybody could ever ask me, because if I wasn't an

237
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 2: honest mechanic, what am I going to do? I'm gonna lie?

238
00:10:58,880 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 2: Who cares?

239
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:00,720
Speaker 5: Right?

240
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 2: So, to me, the most important question you can ask

241
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 2: any mechanic is not do you have a scan tool

242
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 2: that can work on a car? How many scan tools

243
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:09,080
Speaker 2: do you own?

244
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 6: All? Right?

245
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:12,080
Speaker 2: This is like this is like this is like toys

246
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:14,680
Speaker 2: and hot rods. He who has the most scan tools wins.

247
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:17,320
Speaker 2: All right, you know, somebody walks into the door of

248
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 2: the shop. They asked me the scan tool question. I

249
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 2: go seventeen, why what? What's what do you want to

250
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 2: know for? Because not every scan tool's got everything I need? Right,

251
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:27,720
Speaker 2: Every scan tool varies. You've got to have you've got

252
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:29,839
Speaker 2: to have OE stuff, You've got to have your make model,

253
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,200
Speaker 2: you've got to have all the aftermark I mean, you

254
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 2: just do so is it that their scan tool? You

255
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 2: know there's times, you know, not to mention names, snap

256
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:45,840
Speaker 2: on Opus, what else do we have? Launch, Autel, you

257
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,680
Speaker 2: know the OE stuff. There's times I'll go between three

258
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 2: or four of them to find what I want. There's

259
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 2: times I find things in the aftermarket that's not in

260
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 2: the OE, which makes me scratch my head. But you know,

261
00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:00,560
Speaker 2: do they have the right tool. The easiest way to

262
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 2: settle this argument is they've got to go look in

263
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 2: their information system, hopefully they've got an all Data or

264
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:09,840
Speaker 2: a Mitchell information system and look up ABS system bleed

265
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 2: and look at the procedure and if the procedure says

266
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 2: using a factory scan tool or an aftermarket equivalent to

267
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:20,320
Speaker 2: perform an ABS automated bleed. Then it's their tool and

268
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 2: it's not the vehicle. But yes, that that ABS controller

269
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 2: has to be bled. I would look at how do

270
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:28,440
Speaker 2: you replace the ABS controller and go from there.

271
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 6: Right. No, I'll be honest that that actually checks off

272
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 6: a lot of boxes for me, because I've been doing

273
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:38,960
Speaker 6: some internet research waiting to get on the phone with you,

274
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:42,200
Speaker 6: and now I think here, I'm truly right, my friend,

275
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 6: and I really appreciate you. I love the show, and uh,

276
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 6: I'm gonna I'm gonna go take it back and see

277
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:52,080
Speaker 6: if I can't get somebody to fix that.

278
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:53,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, tell them to you know, it's it's it's a

279
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:57,559
Speaker 2: simple enough question, Randy. It's just you know, hey, can

280
00:12:57,600 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 2: we go pick one of those two shops that you

281
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 2: like the best? Pick a third shop. I'd stay with

282
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:03,960
Speaker 2: one of those two shops myself. They've already started this

283
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 2: mess and ask him, hey, can we go back and

284
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:08,440
Speaker 2: look at the procedure for replacing the ABS controller, Because

285
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 2: if they say perform an automated bleed, it's got to

286
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 2: be in somebody's scan tool. They just don't have the

287
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:15,199
Speaker 2: right one. And somebody go out and buy themselves a

288
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:17,439
Speaker 2: scan tool this weekend. So all right, Randy, you give

289
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 2: me a called back, you let me know if you

290

Speaker 2: You're welcome.

303
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 5: Is Mike tying to the last subject matter about scanning,

304
00:13:57,120 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 5: scan tools and so forth. But I was in a

305
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 5: trailer and I drive it gently. There, I drive everything gently,

306
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:07,520
Speaker 5: just so to last and uh, thirdy, I was just

307
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 5: cruising about forty five fifty miles an hour and it

308
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:14,560
Speaker 5: just dropped out. It's never came back, and I just

309
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 5: was wondering, is there a way to figure out there's

310
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 5: no check engine light or anything like that on either

311
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 5: That's what's kind of confusing. Is there what and without

312
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 5: throwing money at it? Can they tell me you know

313
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 5: what the problem is?

314
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 6: Well?

315
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 4: Wait, are you familiar?

316
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 5: I mean, does transmissions have a lot of issues?

317
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 2: Yes, Well let's let's let's back up a second, so

318
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 2: it'll shift first second and when third year comes along.

319
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 5: It just their engine revs up and it goes away.

320
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 5: Now I would I see my wife is still nursing

321
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:46,560
Speaker 5: that thing to work back and forth every day. But

322
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 5: let me tell you how she does that. We put

323
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 5: it take over, drive off and so it'll just stay

324
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 5: and second and she's only lives I mean, she only

325
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 5: goes to work probably you know, six miles four five

326
00:14:57,960 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 5: miles away from home, so she can do it from

327
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 5: thirty miles an hour thirty five. Right, it's not been

328
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 5: a problem.

329
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 2: How many miles? How many miles on this.

330
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 5: Truck pull about two hundred and ten?

331
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 2: Right, so it needs a transmission, goes it? Yeah, it's

332
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:16,240
Speaker 2: come on, you know it's it's by the time we

333
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 2: go through the effort to try and diagnose this and

334
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 2: find out we have to pull the trans out to

335
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 2: fix whatever's broken. Are you are you really going to

336
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 2: pull apart the two hundred thousand plus mile an hour

337
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 2: two hundred thousand mile plus transmission to repair something, put

338
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 2: it back in the truck, and continue driving it. Does

339
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 2: that make sense?

340
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 5: I don't know when you when you're going when things

341
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 5: are tight in a self employee.

342
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 2: I understand, listen, business, I understand that. But you know, listen,

343
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 2: I'm going to spend your money like it's mine. All right,

344
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 2: I know, all right, I really am, you know. And

345
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 2: before you even look at this transmission and say, hey,

346
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:01,080
Speaker 2: do I want to overhaul it? Because I'm sure this

347
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:04,480
Speaker 2: trans is an easy three grand all right, you know,

348
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 2: probably more. Okay, it's probably in North Jersey. I bet

349
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 2: you that trans is forty five hundred dollars, five thousand

350
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 2: dollars all day long on an older vehicle. It's almost

351
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 2: twenty years old, rust corrosion getting it apart. But before

352
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 2: you go down that path, I'm going to tell you

353
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 2: somebody needs to put it up in the air, and

354
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:26,040
Speaker 2: everybody needs to take a hard look at what's next.

355
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 2: All right, you know what kind of shape is the

356
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 2: rest of the vehicle in? All right? Because I may

357
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 2: I may save you that three or four thousand dollars

358
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 2: and convince you to go buy something else. You know,

359
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 2: this isn't This isn't about how little. This is about

360
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 2: how safe, all right, because at some point she's not

361
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 2: going to be able to cheat this thing and get

362
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 2: away with just you know, first and second down the

363
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 2: road to the you know, six miles to where she works,

364
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:52,200
Speaker 2: it's going to be I've got to go further. And

365
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 2: then and then we get well, and then we get

366
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 2: brave and daring, and then all of a sudden we

367
00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 2: find ourselves stuck in the middle of somewhere in a

368
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 2: bad situation. You know, it's hurt.

369
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:07,879
Speaker 5: Is it worth you? I doctor? I used YouTube and

370
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:10,520
Speaker 5: checked a few things out, and a couple of people

371
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:13,479
Speaker 5: on YouTube were saying that it was this thing, and

372
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 5: it looked like people were saying the same thing. If

373
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 5: I had a mechanic that's a friend of mine, pull

374
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 5: it out, put it on the ground and do the work,

375
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 5: it would it be worth doing what you think without

376
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:24,520
Speaker 5: having to take it. I'm not a big fan of

377
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 5: spending money at the shop.

378
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 2: Is he Is he going to do it for nothing

379
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:29,200
Speaker 2: or a case of beer? No?

380
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 5: I would tell you h him about one hundred bucks

381
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:32,520
Speaker 5: a day, one hundred and fifty dollars a day, which

382
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:34,680
Speaker 5: is fairly cheap. That didn't cost me much. And by

383
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:35,359
Speaker 5: the parts, you know.

384
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:37,880
Speaker 2: How good of a friend is he.

385
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:39,880
Speaker 5: He's a good son, he's a good mechanic.

386
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,920
Speaker 2: If you can listen. If he wants to pull it out,

387
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 2: all right and pull it apart, sure, but you've got

388
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 2: to take that thing apart, out and apart with the

389
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:50,960
Speaker 2: intention that if you find something worse, you're going to

390
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:51,800
Speaker 2: put a trans in it.

391
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 5: What do you think about putting a used one from

392
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:55,920
Speaker 5: the junkyard in?

393
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:58,919
Speaker 2: Well, find me a good twenty year old transmission with

394
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 2: low miles on it that sact going to work and

395
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:02,640
Speaker 2: last and make it. It's worth the effort.

396
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:05,480
Speaker 5: And I get it all right, sir, I'm very familiar

397
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 5: with that.

398
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:08,520
Speaker 2: So yeah, I think I think you've got some soul

399
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:10,600
Speaker 2: searching to do there, Paul. I think it's gonna come

400
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:13,199
Speaker 2: down to the value of the vehicle, the replacement of

401
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:16,400
Speaker 2: the vehicle, or fix the vehicle. I know money's tight,

402
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:18,879
Speaker 2: but we also want to spend our money prudently and

403
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:21,200
Speaker 2: we want to be safe, and that's the most important thing.

404
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:22,720
Speaker 2: Good luck to you. Let me know what you decide.

405
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 2: I'm kind of curious. I'm running ady in the car doctor.

406
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 2: I'll be back right after this. Welcome back running the

407
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 2: card doctor. Let's get over to Stephen, Wisconsin. Steve, you're

408
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:51,479
Speaker 2: on with the card doctor. How can I help?

409
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:51,680
Speaker 5: Sir?

410
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:57,640
Speaker 4: Wow, this is going to be a repeat call. Okay,

411
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:02,479
Speaker 4: approximately three years ago about the same vehicle, the same

412
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 4: sort of the same issue. It has gotten better and

413
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:08,879
Speaker 4: I just kind of wanted to report back to you.

414
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:10,639
Speaker 4: I know you won't remember the call because it was

415
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:16,720
Speaker 4: kind of brief, but seven Chevy Silverado Classic four point

416
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:22,359
Speaker 4: eight liter it had it had low oil pressure and

417
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:26,679
Speaker 4: it developed the liftric tick. It wasn't constant, but it was.

418
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:30,760
Speaker 4: It was happening as the temperature got colder. I bought

419
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:34,360
Speaker 4: the vehicle. I live in Wisconsin, and I drove out

420
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 4: west looking for a rust free Chevy from that era.

421
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 4: I kind of liked the ninety nine through six. This

422
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:43,879
Speaker 4: is an seven Classic, kind of.

423
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:46,280
Speaker 2: Like an six square bodies.

424
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I I'm just familiar with doing maintenance and

425
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:51,919
Speaker 4: working on them and that, you know. So I found

426
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 4: one in Nevada, brought it back to Wisconsin. It's just

427
00:19:56,359 --> 00:20:00,560
Speaker 4: really plain. It was a fleet vehicle. But as temperature

428
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:02,919
Speaker 4: got when I tested rove it, and you know, I

429
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 4: didn't notice anything at that time, but it was hot

430
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 4: out and then as winter said it in Wisconsin, this

431
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:13,640
Speaker 4: stuff started happening and the lifter knock got kind of bad.

432
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:16,920
Speaker 4: So I had a neighbor that's a race car driver.

433
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 4: He has his own engine shop. He specializes in small

434
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:25,440
Speaker 4: block chevies. Talked to him. He needed a second job

435
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:27,680
Speaker 4: to fund his racing habit, so he was going to

436
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:30,919
Speaker 4: He said he'd put lifters in for me. And he

437
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 4: said that the oil pressure issue could be the oil

438
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:37,840
Speaker 4: pressure gauge, you know sensor on the manifold that might

439
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:40,119
Speaker 4: just be plugged and not giving you an actor reading.

440
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:44,600
Speaker 4: He didn't really believe that oil pressure reading, right, Okay,

441
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:47,640
Speaker 4: so we get it. We do that, we get it back.

442
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:52,920
Speaker 4: The lifter knock is gone, but it resurfaced about three

443
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:55,440
Speaker 4: to four months later, and the oil pressure was still

444
00:20:56,320 --> 00:21:00,080
Speaker 4: way lower than it should be. So that's when I

445
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 4: called you. I I this all happened before I called you.

446
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:05,240
Speaker 4: I called you because I was going, Oh, I was

447
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 4: going to ask you. I wanted your opinion on that situation.

448
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:11,440
Speaker 4: But then I wanted to ask you about running a

449
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:15,359
Speaker 4: lighter weight oil just for the winter months. Just to

450
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:19,720
Speaker 4: get me through till I get a maybe a vehicle

451
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:22,879
Speaker 4: I can drive. Well, I've already had Jasper's website up

452
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:25,880
Speaker 4: and I'm already thinking ahead, you know, right, And I'm

453
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:28,159
Speaker 4: not afraid if the vehicle dies on here if I

454
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:31,600
Speaker 4: had blowed engine, because I'm I'm only fifteen miles away

455
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:32,240
Speaker 4: from work.

456
00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 2: And you're committed, You're committed to fix and that I

457
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 2: get it. So what's your what's what? What's your question

458
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:37,119
Speaker 2: to me?

459
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:40,720
Speaker 4: So okay, So what happened what's happened so far is

460
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 4: that when your answer to me about the lighter weight

461
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:46,680
Speaker 4: oil was that you know, you're not going to really

462
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:49,720
Speaker 4: suggest that because just because you don't want your listeners

463
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 4: to hear you, you know, using oil that's not recommended.

464
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 4: So he didn't say yes, and he didn't say no,

465
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:59,680
Speaker 4: you know, but I went ahead and did it anyway.

466
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:05,200
Speaker 4: And I so I went with a full synthetic zero

467
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:12,080
Speaker 4: W thirty no, five W twenty full synthetic, and believe

468
00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:15,040
Speaker 4: it or not, the oil pressure, I don't know if

469
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:16,960
Speaker 4: it was because of the flushing that I had did

470
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:21,600
Speaker 4: prior or what, But the minute I put that five

471
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:24,359
Speaker 4: W twenty full synthetic and the oil pressure went right

472
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 4: up to forty where it was supposed to be, and

473
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:32,400
Speaker 4: I had about eighty percent less lifter noise. Okay, okay,

474
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:36,320
Speaker 4: So I'm still driving the vehicle. I'm just I'm learning

475
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:40,600
Speaker 4: a little bit more about things about the vehicle. And

476
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:44,080
Speaker 4: here there's the lifter n The lifter noise has become

477
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:47,720
Speaker 4: somewhat predictable, and I'll give you the situation.

478
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:50,840
Speaker 2: So it still has lifter noise though, right, Steve.

479
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 4: It does, but it's it's it's far less, and it's

480
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:57,440
Speaker 4: only when I put the vehicle through these these.

481
00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 2: Certain Let me ask let me ask you this quest

482
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:03,160
Speaker 2: and if I can, all right, Okay, did you screw

483
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:06,119
Speaker 2: mechanical oil pressure gauge into the sending port where the

484
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:08,119
Speaker 2: oil pressure gage the oil pressure center sits.

485
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:10,360
Speaker 7: No?

486
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:10,960
Speaker 4: I did not.

487
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:14,479
Speaker 2: Okay, So did you happen to look below the did

488
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:18,439
Speaker 2: you ever take the oil pressure switch out and look in?

489
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 2: Is there an oil filter baffle in the underneath the

490
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:24,600
Speaker 2: oil filter oil pressure cinder?

491
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:30,480
Speaker 4: Well, my mechanic probably you know, when he put the

492
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:32,760
Speaker 4: lifters in. May you know, may have done that, But

493
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:34,679
Speaker 4: I myself, no, have not done that.

494
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 2: Okay. Is this an active fuel management vehicle or this

495
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:38,560
Speaker 2: is just a straightfor people.

496
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:42,960
Speaker 4: Yep, it is not active fuel management, just straight eight

497
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:43,880
Speaker 4: cylinders all the time.

498
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:47,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, so I and the other. The only reason

499
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:49,240
Speaker 2: I want to know what mechanical oil pressure is using

500
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:51,720
Speaker 2: mechanical gauges. I don't want to trust. I don't want

501
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:54,360
Speaker 2: to trust an electric gauge on the dashboard. It's not accurate,

502
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 2: and it's it's it's it's it's ratio of how it's

503
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:02,720
Speaker 2: going to react to different viscosity oils. Yeah, it might

504
00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 2: show higher, but it's it. You know, on a real

505
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:07,440
Speaker 2: mechanical gauge, it might go from twenty to twenty five

506
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:10,119
Speaker 2: where you're seeing it jump from twenty five to forty

507
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:12,679
Speaker 2: or whatever your number is. So so keeping that in

508
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:14,679
Speaker 2: mind because I just want to I just want to,

509
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:16,800
Speaker 2: you know, in the amount of time we've got, you know,

510
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:18,920
Speaker 2: you still got lifter noise, right.

511
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:23,840
Speaker 4: Yes, but not but it's it's rare. And you know,

512
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:27,280
Speaker 4: I mean and like I but you're going to find

513
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 4: this odd. But I'm but but it has something. You know,

514
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:34,080
Speaker 4: I was researching the oil pickup to you know, problems

515
00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:38,359
Speaker 4: with that vehicle and and you know, sucking air possibly

516
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 4: from the oil pickup tube ol ring. Have you heard

517
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:42,560
Speaker 4: anything like that?

518
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:44,720
Speaker 2: Sure? Yeah, the oil to that was that's the next place.

519
00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:46,520
Speaker 2: And I thought we mentioned that three years ago if

520
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:49,160
Speaker 2: I remember the call right, because you were traveling looked

521
00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:49,919
Speaker 2: at for this vehicle.

522
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, because I was going to just drop the axle

523
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 4: and and and have someone put you know, take the

524
00:24:56,840 --> 00:25:00,320
Speaker 4: opan off and go at the oil pump and oil

525
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:05,880
Speaker 4: you know all that. But I believe that by by

526
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:09,600
Speaker 4: you know, all my flushing recipes. I put transmission fluid

527
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:12,560
Speaker 4: in the crank case. I put three quarts of transmission fluid,

528
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:16,320
Speaker 4: three quarts of oil, drove it around for a couple hours,

529
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:18,840
Speaker 4: came back and flushed it out. Then I put that

530
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:22,159
Speaker 4: full synthetic in and ever since then, I mean, and

531
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 4: that's I think that there's a chance I may have

532
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:27,399
Speaker 4: knocked up some sludge loose or something in front of

533
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:29,440
Speaker 4: that oil pickup too. Is that possible?

534
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:30,120
Speaker 5: Sure? You ever?

535
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:31,640
Speaker 2: Do you ever? Do you ever pulled a valve cover

536
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:33,400
Speaker 2: off this or you ever? You know, can you see

537
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:35,840
Speaker 2: inside the valve fire? Is it dirty? Is it sludgye?

538
00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:39,359
Speaker 7: No?

539
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:41,800
Speaker 4: But the when I changed oil and the oil plug

540
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:44,560
Speaker 4: you know has the magnetic tip on it and there

541
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:48,359
Speaker 4: is always some stuff on there. And I changed oil

542
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:54,439
Speaker 4: now right, I mean in my intervals are seventeen hundred

543
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:57,359
Speaker 4: to two thousand miles with Mobile one synthetic and a

544
00:25:57,400 --> 00:25:58,200
Speaker 4: Wix oil filter.

545
00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:01,639
Speaker 2: That's been the best listen to me. All right, I

546
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:04,199
Speaker 2: get it. You love this truck, all right, and you

547
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:06,320
Speaker 2: want to drive this truck until the day you die,

548
00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:08,639
Speaker 2: which I hope is a long long time, my friend.

549
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:12,240
Speaker 2: All right, But the amount of the amount of effort.

550
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:14,440
Speaker 2: You know, I love all my listeners to death, and

551
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 2: you're one of them. Okay, brother, But the amount of

552
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 2: effort you're putting into diagnosis. I would have had the

553
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:21,320
Speaker 2: oil pan down the next week when I still had

554
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:24,000
Speaker 2: the noise, because what is going on? Do I have

555
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:26,359
Speaker 2: sludge in the pan? Do I have a sticking relief

556
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:28,800
Speaker 2: valve in the oil pump? Do I have sludge build

557
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 2: up in the motor?

558
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:30,040
Speaker 5: You know?

559
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:33,159
Speaker 2: The issue is what creates low oil pressure. Let's have

560
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:37,200
Speaker 2: a general conversation, oil pickup tube, O ring, oil pump

561
00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:42,760
Speaker 2: relief valves, oil pressure filters aside. Okay, what creates low

562
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:47,000
Speaker 2: oil pressure? Excessive bearing clearance? Do I have any of that?

563
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:49,720
Speaker 2: Do I have issues? So there's a lot of unknown here.

564
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:53,840
Speaker 2: Screw mechanic, take the oil pressure center out, screw mechanical

565
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:57,400
Speaker 2: gauge and record your oil pressure. Drive it around. What

566
00:26:57,440 --> 00:27:00,960
Speaker 2: does mechanical oil pressure report? But it's not gonna matter

567
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:04,320
Speaker 2: because if you've still got noise, all right, and playing

568
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:08,280
Speaker 2: with viscosity is changing oil pressure. What that's telling me

569
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:11,080
Speaker 2: is there's restrictions that thinner oil has the ability to

570
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:16,280
Speaker 2: squeak through. All right. Pressure is one thing, volume is another.

571
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 2: All right. You ever squeeze off the end of a

572
00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:21,199
Speaker 2: garden hose and make and make water squirt out at

573
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:22,000
Speaker 2: a higher pressure?

574
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 4: Right?

575
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:24,479
Speaker 5: Okay?

576
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 2: How much volume is coming out in comparison to when

577
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:27,920
Speaker 2: your hand isn't there?

578
00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:29,879
Speaker 4: Okay?

579
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:33,080
Speaker 2: So are we starving the motor for oil even though

580
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:36,640
Speaker 2: we've got higher oil pressure? We could be. You got

581
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:40,359
Speaker 2: a bunch of unknowns here, all right. I mean, listen, kiddo.

582
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:42,359
Speaker 2: You can do what you want with this. It's your truck.

583
00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:44,640
Speaker 2: But if we want to get to the end of it,

584
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:46,879
Speaker 2: all right, if you want to get to the end

585
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:50,359
Speaker 2: of it, bite the bullet and take it apart, do

586
00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:53,680
Speaker 2: something with it, because it's it's only going to get worse.

587
00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:55,600
Speaker 2: Don't take this as a scolding. I'm not trying to

588
00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:58,560
Speaker 2: scold you. I'm just saying, you're gonna, You're gonna, You're gonna,

589
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:03,120
Speaker 2: you're gonna. There's a there's an expression analysis paralysis. You're

590
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:06,359
Speaker 2: you're on the border, all right, You're you're on the

591
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:09,119
Speaker 2: border of analysis paralysis where this thing is gonna leave

592
00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:10,720
Speaker 2: you high and dry someday and then you're gonna they're

593
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 2: gonna take it apart and they're gonna go. You know,

594
00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:14,040
Speaker 2: if you had taken this apart two weeks earlier, it

595
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:15,640
Speaker 2: would have saved you the price of a crank shaft

596
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:20,399
Speaker 2: or an engine or yeah, you know, so do me

597
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:22,199
Speaker 2: a favor, take it. Do me a favor because I

598
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:25,240
Speaker 2: gotta go. Would you just please pull the pull, Do

599
00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:27,840
Speaker 2: what I said. Check mechanical oil pressure, Take a look

600
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:29,679
Speaker 2: at the oil pumping the pickup. If you still got it,

601
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:31,680
Speaker 2: Pull a valve covered. Do you have sledge build up?

602
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:34,600
Speaker 2: Make a decision either rebuild this motor or replace it,

603
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:36,320
Speaker 2: because I think it's the only way it's going to

604
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:38,120
Speaker 2: be one hundred percent safe. And remember, you want to

605
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:40,640
Speaker 2: do all these things now while you can, because the

606
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:43,360
Speaker 2: older that truck gets more and more parts are disappearing

607
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:45,640
Speaker 2: for it, and the supply chain shorte. So be well,

608
00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:47,520
Speaker 2: keep me in keep me in the loop, all right, Stevie,

609
00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:49,840
Speaker 2: I appreciate it. Eight five five five six zero nine

610
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:51,880
Speaker 2: nine zero zero, run late, gotta go. I'll be back

611
00:28:51,920 --> 00:29:06,960
Speaker 2: right after this, running along, feeling the charge running any

612
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:08,240
Speaker 2: of the card, doctor at your service. Let's go to

613
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:14,760
Speaker 2: a stand in Minnesota. Two Chevy Silverado. Stan Are you there, sir? Stan?

614
00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 5: Stan?

615
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:20,160
Speaker 2: Yes, hey, Stan, are you there. It's a it's a

616
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:23,720
Speaker 2: tough connection. I am, yes, sir, something's turned up too high.

617
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:25,200
Speaker 2: But let's give it a shot. Anyway. What's going on

618
00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:25,800
Speaker 2: with this truck?

619
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:34,600
Speaker 7: Okay? Two thousand two Chevy Silverado fifteen. On the engine

620
00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:39,640
Speaker 7: that ambient temperature winter or summer, it starts immediately.

621
00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:40,280
Speaker 2: Okay.

622
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:44,320
Speaker 7: However, when the engine gets up to operating temperature, he

623
00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:48,560
Speaker 7: cranks and cranks and cranks and cranks, he'll finally start.

624
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:53,160
Speaker 2: Okay, what has anybody done to diagnose this? Has anybody

625
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:55,600
Speaker 2: checked this for? You know? Basics? Are we losing spark?

626
00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:58,640
Speaker 2: Are we losing fuel pressure? Or it's just been like

627
00:29:58,680 --> 00:29:59,640
Speaker 2: this and you've lived with it.

628
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:03,200
Speaker 7: No, nothing's good.

629
00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:06,400
Speaker 2: Check all right, So let's let's back up. Do you

630
00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:11,959
Speaker 2: own a lawnmower? Which do you own a lawnmower?

631
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:13,880
Speaker 5: Yes?

632
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:14,240
Speaker 7: How you do?

633
00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:16,640
Speaker 2: Okay, if your lawnmower didn't start, what would you do

634
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:17,400
Speaker 2: to diagnose it?

635
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:21,560
Speaker 7: If it won't start?

636
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:24,160
Speaker 2: What if your lawnmower wouldn't start? What would you do

637
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:26,280
Speaker 2: or how would you diagnose it? You check for spark

638
00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 2: or you check for lack of fuel?

639
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:28,280
Speaker 5: Right?

640
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:31,080
Speaker 7: Yeah, exactly right?

641
00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:35,320
Speaker 2: So same thing, bigger engine, eight cylinders. All right. When

642
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:37,440
Speaker 2: this goes into a no start and you know this

643
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:39,719
Speaker 2: is this is a perfect vehicle to work on. It's broken,

644
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:42,280
Speaker 2: all right. If the problem can be duplicated, it can

645
00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:45,480
Speaker 2: be fixed. You know, when it starts, does it have spark?

646
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:48,320
Speaker 2: Does it have adequate spark? All right? Does it have

647
00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:51,800
Speaker 2: fuel pressure? Does it have correct fuel pressure? I can

648
00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:53,840
Speaker 2: tell you the silver bullet. You know, a lot of

649
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:56,680
Speaker 2: times with these vehicles it's a fuel pressure related issue.

650
00:30:57,280 --> 00:31:00,000
Speaker 2: A lot of times it's the fuel pressure regulator. You

651
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:03,120
Speaker 2: we'll find fuel in the vacuum supply line because the

652
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:05,840
Speaker 2: diaphragm is seeping or ruptured. You know, I don't know

653
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:07,600
Speaker 2: that it would have lasted this long. It sounds like

654
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:09,840
Speaker 2: it's been going on for quite a while, but you

655
00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:13,000
Speaker 2: know we want to cover basics spark and fuel pressure

656
00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 2: number one? Number two? Are we losing signal out of

657
00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:19,600
Speaker 2: an engine sensor, a CAM sensor, a crank sensor. Is

658
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:22,000
Speaker 2: it causing it to go into a crank no start condition.

659
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:25,840
Speaker 2: This would be a perfect vehicle to duplicate the problem

660
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:28,760
Speaker 2: and then have a scan tool hooked up, have a

661
00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:31,480
Speaker 2: fuel pressure gauge hooked up, and watch what are we

662
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:34,440
Speaker 2: missing here? How do we know it's not this? Let's

663
00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:37,520
Speaker 2: let's go for something simple. You mentioned ambient temperature, right,

664
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:40,160
Speaker 2: How do we how do we know that?

665
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:41,000
Speaker 5: How do we know that?

666
00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:43,840
Speaker 2: How do we know that when it warms up, ambient

667
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:48,959
Speaker 2: temperature is reading correct? For example, I've had vehicles where

668
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:52,080
Speaker 2: I've gone out to diagnose long starts or hard starts

669
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:55,760
Speaker 2: or long cranks, and the ambient temperature at that moment's

670
00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:58,120
Speaker 2: forty five degrees and I go and I started up,

671
00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:00,000
Speaker 2: I let it warm up. I come back. Twenty minutes later,

672
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:03,680
Speaker 2: it goes into a no star condition and ambient temperature

673
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:07,280
Speaker 2: is reading thirty degrees hotter than what it actually is,

674
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:11,280
Speaker 2: or cool in temperature is out of realm cool and

675
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:13,800
Speaker 2: temperature is skewed because I've got a bad tempt sensor.

676
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:16,520
Speaker 2: It may not set a fault code, and a lot

677
00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:20,280
Speaker 2: of times it does not. But because the computer doesn't

678
00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:22,640
Speaker 2: know what the actual temperature is and it doesn't know

679
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:24,760
Speaker 2: what the heat soak time is, there's a lot of

680
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:28,640
Speaker 2: factors to be considered there. So I think to solve this,

681
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:31,040
Speaker 2: somebody's got to go and just do some of the basics.

682
00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:34,960
Speaker 2: It's it's got to be spark fuel, basic sensor readings,

683
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:38,280
Speaker 2: basic sensor values. You know what are we missing? And

684
00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:40,040
Speaker 2: then we can kind of have a deeper conversation. And

685
00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:42,440
Speaker 2: when you call backstand do it on a different phone line.

686
00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:44,880
Speaker 2: That one was kind of tough to have the conversation with.

687
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:47,160
Speaker 2: But do those preliminary things, and I'm glad to talk

688
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:49,320
Speaker 2: to you again. Eight five five five six zero nine

689

Speaker 2: live broadcast, which will be next week. God William, the

700
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:28,160
Speaker 2: creek don't rise, by the way. Next week we're going

701
00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:32,200
Speaker 2: to be Memorial Day, right, we will be featuring I'm

Speaker 2: sure we're gonna have a little bit Uncle Steve. Uncle

703
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:36,800
Speaker 2: Steve's gonna make an appearance from the Great Beyond and

704
00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:38,640
Speaker 2: talk to us a little bit about Memorial Day. We

705
00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:40,360
Speaker 2: know you guys like that, so I'm sure Tom's got

706
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:43,040
Speaker 2: something cooking up for that. And we're also going to

707
00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:45,160
Speaker 2: be starting our giveaway. We're doing a couple of book

708
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:47,120
Speaker 2: giveaways next week. We're going to be giving away a

709
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:51,120
Speaker 2: book about Triumph. Triumph cars, Remember Triumph, right, the those

710
00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:53,240
Speaker 2: little sports cars. Well, twenty twenty three marks the one

711
00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:56,360
Speaker 2: hundredth anniversary of Triumph and the entire history of Triumph

712
00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:58,560
Speaker 2: sports Cars, and we're going to talk about it, and

713
00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:00,600
Speaker 2: we're giving away a copy of a book written by

714
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:04,160
Speaker 2: ross Ala Kharishi, and we're glad to be doing that.

715
00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:06,120
Speaker 2: So that's gonna be next weekend here on the Car Doctor,

716
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:09,240
Speaker 2: Triumph for the Insult Comic Dog. No it's not Triumph

717
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:13,440
Speaker 2: the Insult Comic Book, so stay, but yeah, that'll be

718
00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:16,080
Speaker 2: next week. I'm doing Triumph, see Uncle Steve. And I

719
00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:17,520
Speaker 2: just want to remind you that you know what auto

720
00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:20,400
Speaker 2: repairs about. Diagnostics, UDO repairs about eliminating the obvious. We

721
00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:22,920
Speaker 2: had an O six Ford explorer in the shop this

722
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:26,359
Speaker 2: week that the customer was complaining about intermittent, random loss

723
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:29,040
Speaker 2: of power. Tell me what's good, I'll tell you what's bad.

724
00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:32,520
Speaker 2: All right. We went through the usual suspects, the usual things,

725
00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:35,160
Speaker 2: and didn't find anything. And my last step was I

726
00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:36,640
Speaker 2: went for a ride with the vehicle with a fuel

727
00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:38,520
Speaker 2: pressure gage hooked up and I noticed the loss of

728
00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:42,000
Speaker 2: power occurred when fuel pressure dropped off. Gee that would

729
00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:43,919
Speaker 2: make sense. Gee could I have a bad fuel pump.

730
00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:46,239
Speaker 2: I've never really seen a fuel pump very like that.

731
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:48,200
Speaker 2: I guess it could be, but I went through the basics.

732
00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:50,239
Speaker 2: First thing I went for was the fuel filter. What

733
00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:52,520
Speaker 2: the fuel filter looked like? I didn't have to look

734
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:53,680
Speaker 2: at it, and I have to take it open, I

735
00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:55,000
Speaker 2: have to do anything else, because as soon as I

736
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:57,520
Speaker 2: got it off the car, it rattled like a Morocca.

737
00:34:57,880 --> 00:34:59,520
Speaker 2: We then cut it open and found out that the

738
00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:01,719
Speaker 2: baffle broken moose from the bonding because it was a

739
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:05,160
Speaker 2: cheap fuel filter made somewhere else in our fifty third

740
00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:08,160
Speaker 2: state or fifty second state, or made off shore. We'll

741
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:10,719
Speaker 2: say it like that and put a fresh fuel filter

742
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:12,799
Speaker 2: in it. A real deal from fort and down the road.

743
00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:15,200
Speaker 2: Working like a charm. So sometimes tell me what's good,

744
00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:17,520
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what's bad. It really does work till

745
00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:19,200
Speaker 2: the next time I'm running ady in the card doctor,

746
00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:23,000
Speaker 2: reminding you. Good mechanics aren't expensive, they're priceless.

747
00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:23,360
Speaker 5: See you,
