1 00:00:01,920 --> 00:00:04,840 Speaker 1: Ron and An, I want you to think differently about 2 00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:23,120 Speaker 1: repairs going forward, because everything is changing. Never again, the 3 00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:26,240 Speaker 1: car Doctor. If the shoes are rusted against the drum, 4 00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:29,440 Speaker 1: then the self adjuster is going to get sloppy where 5 00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:32,760 Speaker 1: it wedges itself between the two shoes at the bottom, 6 00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:34,960 Speaker 1: and that that adjuster is just going to eventually pick 7 00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:37,120 Speaker 1: up enough slop that has a build you know, kind 8 00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:39,720 Speaker 1: of just sort of their wobble and under. Welcome to 9 00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:42,680 Speaker 1: the radio home of Ron and Anian the Car Doctor, 10 00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:47,440 Speaker 1: since this is where car owners the world overturned to 11 00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:51,840 Speaker 1: for their definitive opinion on automotive repair. If your mechanics 12 00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:54,480 Speaker 1: giving you a busy signal, pick up the phone and 13 00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:57,760 Speaker 1: call in. The garage doors are open, but I am 14 00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:00,200 Speaker 1: here to take your fault at eight five five five 15 00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:08,880 Speaker 1: and now running. I had the pleasure this week of 16 00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:12,080 Speaker 1: doing a water pump on an O nine Chevy malib 17 00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:16,440 Speaker 1: before cylinder, and I thought to myself, my God, how 18 00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:19,440 Speaker 1: this industry has changed, like I don't see it every day. 19 00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:24,800 Speaker 1: Right in nine seventy three, when I was young and 20 00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:29,440 Speaker 1: dirt was invented, and God was a teenager, I got 21 00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:32,840 Speaker 1: to do my first water pump at suburban Texico and 22 00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:34,920 Speaker 1: Franklin Lakes, New Jersey. Billy let me do it on 23 00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:38,520 Speaker 1: a Saturday afternoon, well Saturday morning. It took till afternoon, 24 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 1: and I remember it took me about two hours because 25 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,320 Speaker 1: it was the first one I had ever done, you know, 26 00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,200 Speaker 1: really professionally as it where I was sixteen years old 27 00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,240 Speaker 1: at the time, and in between pumping gas and walking 28 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:51,400 Speaker 1: out and pumping gas and coming back and turning the 29 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:55,720 Speaker 1: bolt and pumping gas, and it took a while. Eventually 30 00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 1: I had it down to We're on a small block 31 00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:00,240 Speaker 1: Chevy that the mainstay of the General Motors Carl for 32 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:02,000 Speaker 1: so many years. I could do a water pumping about 33 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:04,920 Speaker 1: I don't know, thirty to forty five minutes, depending upon 34 00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:07,440 Speaker 1: what was in the way and what argued with you 35 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:11,799 Speaker 1: and what didn't get along and so on. And I thought, boy, 36 00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:17,560 Speaker 1: this business, it's so simple. An O nine Chevy Malibu 37 00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:19,840 Speaker 1: has a two point four leader four cylinder in it 38 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,880 Speaker 1: the water pump. I knew I was in deep when 39 00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:25,960 Speaker 1: the first time I saw one of these, and this 40 00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,920 Speaker 1: was just sort of a refresher when I had to 41 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,800 Speaker 1: get out the special tool that holds the balance shaft's 42 00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:35,480 Speaker 1: brocket in place for the timing chain, because you have 43 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:37,320 Speaker 1: to hold this brocket where it's supposed to be so 44 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:39,360 Speaker 1: you can disconnect the water pump from it, because it's 45 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,120 Speaker 1: water pump driven off the balance shaft for the timing 46 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:44,320 Speaker 1: chain at the back of the motor. In the back 47 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:47,639 Speaker 1: of the motor. So you're working with mirrors and flashlights 48 00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,680 Speaker 1: in order to get this thing apart, and you say 49 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:54,800 Speaker 1: to yourself, this is the absolute best GMS got. This 50 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:59,160 Speaker 1: is this is how they designed this. It's really you know, 51 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:01,959 Speaker 1: it's it's nuts bolts and it's it's not the worst 52 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,520 Speaker 1: job in the world. But you just sit there and say, 53 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:08,240 Speaker 1: is anybody thinking in terms of some They were going 54 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 1: to have to repair some of this And I had 55 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:14,359 Speaker 1: to take the water inlet tube out, which went under 56 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 1: the exhaust manifold, which really amazed me. They mount because 57 00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:21,520 Speaker 1: the water pumps in the rear. They run the water 58 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 1: feed tube to the pump off the back of the block, 59 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:29,919 Speaker 1: directly under the catalytic converter and the exhaust manifold. Does 60 00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,720 Speaker 1: anybody realize how hot a catalytic converter gets on in 61 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 1: July when you're driving a longer stuck in traffic and 62 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:38,040 Speaker 1: you're sitting there idling, and how hot it's It's got 63 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,160 Speaker 1: to have an effect on the coolant. I can't imagine 64 00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:45,880 Speaker 1: it not, but they did. The heater hoses which were 65 00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:47,640 Speaker 1: attached to the water tube, which I had to take 66 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:49,640 Speaker 1: out to get the water pump out to get the 67 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 1: part repaired, the car repaired. The heater hoses had actually 68 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:56,800 Speaker 1: melted themselves. They had congealed onto the heat or tube 69 00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 1: on the nipples that I had a slicing with a 70 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,720 Speaker 1: razor knife and then peel them like a banana to 71 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,280 Speaker 1: get them off the nipples. It's just and I'm looking 72 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:06,440 Speaker 1: at that catalytic converter and I'm looking at all the heat, 73 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 1: and I'm looking at the lack of air and thinking 74 00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 1: how hot does this poor little engine have to run? 75 00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:13,840 Speaker 1: And then everybody blames the car, right, everybody's talking about 76 00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,160 Speaker 1: what a bad motor it is, because they do have 77 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:19,719 Speaker 1: their failures. They go through rings and oil consumption issues. 78 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,039 Speaker 1: And you know what, I couldn't help, but notice the 79 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:25,120 Speaker 1: grill opening is probably well, I don't know, I think 80 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:28,479 Speaker 1: it was twenty inches by four inches. I mean, there's 81 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:31,159 Speaker 1: no grill opening, there's no airflow through the engine compartment 82 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 1: and you have to sit there and say to yourself, 83 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:34,200 Speaker 1: how hot does this poor little engine have to get 84 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,240 Speaker 1: from forty five minutes to half a day. What a 85 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 1: bunch of engineers they've got over there at GM UM. 86 00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:45,840 Speaker 1: I just you know my friend Chris who we've had 87 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:47,680 Speaker 1: on the show from time to time, and we said 88 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:49,359 Speaker 1: and we talked, and I think Chris is right. His 89 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:52,400 Speaker 1: theory is that the engineers come in, they have a 90 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:56,640 Speaker 1: liquid breakfast. Um, they get started, they designed the car, 91 00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:58,520 Speaker 1: they don't put this plans in. Then they go out, 92 00:04:58,560 --> 00:04:59,920 Speaker 1: they have a liquid lunch, and then they come back. 93 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:01,640 Speaker 1: They think about it three more times and go, yeah, 94 00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:03,600 Speaker 1: let's do it. Let's just see what happens, because it's 95 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,240 Speaker 1: gotta be it's just gotta make sense. I just there's 96 00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:10,039 Speaker 1: no rational thought process that I can imagine. Um. But yeah, 97 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:11,760 Speaker 1: just just something to look forward to. If you want 98 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:13,920 Speaker 1: to see something neat here's what you can do with YouTube. 99 00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:17,080 Speaker 1: Go out to YouTube and Google search Chevy Malibu water 100 00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:20,599 Speaker 1: pump replacement and watch where that water pump sprocket is. Uh. 101 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:22,800 Speaker 1: It just you know, when you're trying to take the 102 00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:26,119 Speaker 1: bolts out of the sprocket that holds the water pump 103 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 1: to it. You have to be careful not to drop 104 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:30,400 Speaker 1: the ball because if you drop the bolt, that falls 105 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,919 Speaker 1: into the into the engine. And all they had to 106 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,040 Speaker 1: do was design the tool so that when the tool 107 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:38,640 Speaker 1: butted up against the sprocket, that there wasn't an opening 108 00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:40,160 Speaker 1: in the well in the hall. They could have just 109 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:42,680 Speaker 1: made it all the way through. They couldn't even design 110 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,400 Speaker 1: the tool right. They couldn't even design the tool to 111 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:49,840 Speaker 1: to work on the Just just give me another sixty years. 112 00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:51,359 Speaker 1: I want to go work for a car company and 113 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:55,640 Speaker 1: straighten amount. I really do. Okay, that's my opening, Rent, 114 00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:58,320 Speaker 1: Let's get over and talk to Rod in Washington State, 115 00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,480 Speaker 1: Oh six tundra in some transmission issues maybe sort of 116 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:03,760 Speaker 1: kind of Rod, welcome to the car doctor, sir, all 117 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:07,040 Speaker 1: warmed up and ready to go. How can I help? Yes, sir, yes, 118 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:10,760 Speaker 1: sir um. Yeah. I took my truck in for routine 119 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 1: maintenance a couple of weeks ago. They put in second 120 00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:21,560 Speaker 1: replacement timing belt and second replacement water pump, alternator belt, 121 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:26,240 Speaker 1: spark plugs, and a transmission service. The truck actually ran 122 00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:29,160 Speaker 1: well when I took it in. It was just routine maintenance, 123 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:33,719 Speaker 1: and it hasn't run right since I picked it up. Uh. 124 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:37,719 Speaker 1: Sometimes it'll just stall at a traffic light. And this 125 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:41,480 Speaker 1: morning I was saying that I couldn't get it to 126 00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:45,839 Speaker 1: go over ten miles. And then sometimes if you're sitting 127 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:49,600 Speaker 1: there idling at a traffic light, it'll surge and want 128 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 1: to leap forward. Um. So I think I'm not a mechanic, 129 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 1: but I think there's some kind of an electronic issue 130 00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:01,039 Speaker 1: going on. Well let's not let's not do that, let's 131 00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:03,240 Speaker 1: think about Let's ask some questions. Let me ask some 132 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:10,640 Speaker 1: questions of you brought any any check engine light on yesterday? Yes? Okay, 133 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:12,960 Speaker 1: and you didn't have that experience prior to this work 134 00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:17,560 Speaker 1: being done? All right, have you been back to them yet? 135 00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:23,240 Speaker 1: I have an appointment for Monday morning. So rule number one, 136 00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:25,160 Speaker 1: what's the check engine light? Right? That's gonna be your 137 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:29,080 Speaker 1: first question. Second thing, the second thing. If if I 138 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:32,600 Speaker 1: was looking at this, my my my second comment would be, 139 00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:35,600 Speaker 1: I want to look at vitals. I always think in 140 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:40,080 Speaker 1: terms of vitals. They had enough apart. They were basically 141 00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,600 Speaker 1: all over that vehicle. You know what. I love those 142 00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:44,440 Speaker 1: kind of jobs and I hate those kind of jobs. 143 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:48,200 Speaker 1: They had everything apart. So you know, I always like 144 00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:50,040 Speaker 1: to go in and look at vitals. I always like 145 00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,360 Speaker 1: to look at I love to look at fuel trim 146 00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:55,119 Speaker 1: on a vehicle like that. You know it's fuel trim 147 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:59,280 Speaker 1: anywhere near normal. I love to look at Mode six. 148 00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 1: Mode six data is the behind the scenes information that 149 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:06,680 Speaker 1: the computer uses to calculate and generate trouble codes, and 150 00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,520 Speaker 1: it will tell you what tests are failing and what 151 00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:13,040 Speaker 1: tests are passing before it actually sets a fault code 152 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:16,560 Speaker 1: for that is the brake pedal. Does the brake pedal 153 00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:18,680 Speaker 1: seem okay? Does it seem like it has a hard 154 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:23,520 Speaker 1: brake pedal? Yeah? I don't have any issue with the brakes, 155 00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:27,480 Speaker 1: but you're not You're not losing power assist. You have 156 00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:30,520 Speaker 1: enough breake reserve. Okay. I was thinking maybe they had 157 00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:33,520 Speaker 1: a timing belt off a tooth somehow, and although that 158 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:36,560 Speaker 1: would probably affect it much more than it is, but 159 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:39,199 Speaker 1: you know, something maybe affecting engine vacuum and creating a 160 00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:42,679 Speaker 1: brake booster issue. You know, listen, this could be something 161 00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:45,640 Speaker 1: as simple as they've got an air intake duct loose 162 00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:50,360 Speaker 1: and it's created a fuel trimissue. It's creating a surge too, 163 00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:53,400 Speaker 1: they've assembled something wrong too. It's got nothing to do 164 00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:56,400 Speaker 1: with anything they did. But until you get a code 165 00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:58,520 Speaker 1: and start to gather some of the data, you really 166 00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:01,280 Speaker 1: don't know. Is this your reak dealer shop. You've dealt 167 00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:07,160 Speaker 1: with these guys before. Yeah, it's the dealer, all right, 168 00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:11,080 Speaker 1: and you've dealt with them before and you've had good results. Yes, 169 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:14,319 Speaker 1: all right, stay calm, you know, remind yourself of that. 170 00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:17,480 Speaker 1: Remind them of that. Hey, listen, I know how this looks. 171 00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:19,600 Speaker 1: You know. I would just tell him point blank, I 172 00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:21,560 Speaker 1: know how this looks. Look, this could be something you did, 173 00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:23,920 Speaker 1: this could be something unrelated. Let's just go in and 174 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:25,839 Speaker 1: do an exploratory tell me what's going on any of 175 00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:29,640 Speaker 1: my truck fixed, you know, um, and then and then 176 00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:34,560 Speaker 1: see what they say. You know, it's it's it's a 177 00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:36,640 Speaker 1: tough spot for for them to be in. But they 178 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:38,960 Speaker 1: might have induced this. It was like that the moment 179 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:43,320 Speaker 1: you pulled out of there. No, it actually ran fine 180 00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:46,840 Speaker 1: for about well. I picked it up that mid day 181 00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:48,560 Speaker 1: and it was fine for the rest of the day, 182 00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:52,240 Speaker 1: and then started acting up the next day. You know, 183 00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:57,800 Speaker 1: something loosened, something fell off, something wasn't plugged on right. 184 00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:01,280 Speaker 1: An animal crawled up inside the mass airflow sensor overnight. 185 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:05,320 Speaker 1: You know, um uh right, I mean listen, I've I've 186 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:07,640 Speaker 1: seen it all. You know. The fact that you have 187 00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:11,520 Speaker 1: a relationship with them is the strongest denominator you've got 188 00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:14,720 Speaker 1: going for you. So let's try to utilize it. So 189 00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:16,960 Speaker 1: do me a favor. Called me back next week, Rod. 190 00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:18,679 Speaker 1: I'd really like to hear what what what what this 191 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:20,360 Speaker 1: story was. I think it would be good for everyone 192 00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:23,760 Speaker 1: to hear that. You know, things go wrong and repair shops, 193 00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:26,079 Speaker 1: and sometimes it may or may not be mechanic related. 194 00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:28,240 Speaker 1: Sometimes it's just the nature of the beast. Here. I'll 195 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:29,559 Speaker 1: tell you one real quick, and then I gotta go. 196 00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:32,040 Speaker 1: Tom's already looking at me. We had we had to 197 00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:34,440 Speaker 1: put how hard could it be to put three bulbs 198 00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:36,880 Speaker 1: in a hun day? All right? We had a customer 199 00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:40,439 Speaker 1: on Wednesday. They had multiple bulbs out, a high beam, 200 00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:43,960 Speaker 1: a directional and a parking lot. They brought it in. 201 00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:46,120 Speaker 1: We changed the bulbs while they waited, sent them on 202 00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:49,160 Speaker 1: their way. Everything worked, Everything was good. The bulbs were 203 00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:52,040 Speaker 1: clearly bad. They had black spots on them. Boom done. 204 00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:54,160 Speaker 1: Half hour later, the phone rings, hey we're on the 205 00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:57,160 Speaker 1: right direction was not working again, no problem, come on by. 206 00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,480 Speaker 1: They come by. I look at it. The bulb is good. 207 00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:01,880 Speaker 1: I half the socket, it starts working. I get out 208 00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:05,240 Speaker 1: my little jeweler file. I start scratching the contact down 209 00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:07,480 Speaker 1: on the bottom of the socket, even though it didn't 210 00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:09,520 Speaker 1: look bad. I just scratch away at some of the 211 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:13,520 Speaker 1: whatever surface that's built up on that copper tab. Because 212 00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:15,559 Speaker 1: I see this on Hyundai's and keys, that they get 213 00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:17,920 Speaker 1: some kind of a film on them and they will 214 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,880 Speaker 1: affect bulb contact and even when they're switches. I've I've 215 00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:23,800 Speaker 1: run into this before and it worked fine. It's been 216 00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:25,480 Speaker 1: working fine. I haven't gotten a phone call or a 217 00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:28,160 Speaker 1: text since. So you know where we at fault? Did 218 00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:31,000 Speaker 1: we do something wrong? No, we just you know, we're 219 00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:33,160 Speaker 1: the we're the last guys to touch it, so therefore 220 00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:36,200 Speaker 1: we're obligated to fix it. Um, it's not a sign 221 00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:38,679 Speaker 1: of incompetences. It's the nature of the beast to a 222 00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:42,440 Speaker 1: large degree, you know. But their attitude, the attitude of 223 00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:45,160 Speaker 1: the repair shop. Our attitude was positive and we'll fix it. 224 00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:47,720 Speaker 1: The attitude of the dealer will be an indicator of 225 00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:51,320 Speaker 1: of what's really going on here. Um. Remember this my 226 00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:58,360 Speaker 1: last thought, you know what you Have you ever been married? Rod? Rod? 227 00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:03,880 Speaker 1: Have you ever been married? Isn't it great? When things 228 00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:06,240 Speaker 1: are going well and then all of a sudden there's 229 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:10,840 Speaker 1: a problem. Right, you know, all all relationships and human 230 00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:13,640 Speaker 1: interaction is based on not when things are going well, 231 00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:15,400 Speaker 1: but when things are going bad, and how do you 232 00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:17,680 Speaker 1: work to overcome it and resolve it? And that's what 233 00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:21,440 Speaker 1: that's what these guys have to do. So all right, 234 00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:23,240 Speaker 1: give him, give him the shot. Let's see what they 235 00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:27,600 Speaker 1: do with it. Call me back. You take good care 236 00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:29,160 Speaker 1: of Rod. I'm Rond and ay in the car doctor. 237 00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:37,440 Speaker 1: We'll be back right after this. He drives that way. 238 00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:39,800 Speaker 1: But when it comes to fixing cars, Ron has card 239 00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:43,520 Speaker 1: advice done right? Eight five five five zero nine nine 240 00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:46,720 Speaker 1: zero zero. Here's Rod. Hey, let's get over to John 241 00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:50,840 Speaker 1: and Florida s buick and some questions about the charging system. Yes, John, 242 00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:54,160 Speaker 1: how can I help? Hey? Uh? Here's ago I bought. 243 00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:56,120 Speaker 1: I bought cars in their chief and I had this 244 00:12:56,600 --> 00:13:01,160 Speaker 1: one gs they brought. I've been sitting to my garage 245 00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:05,320 Speaker 1: all this time, and I'm retired. I got it going again. 246 00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:08,839 Speaker 1: That redid everything, I guess. I throwed it out brakes, No, 247 00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:13,400 Speaker 1: all that normal stuff. Anyway, it's a late model. And 248 00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:17,880 Speaker 1: on the alternator, do you have your main weare that 249 00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:20,400 Speaker 1: goes to the battery. Then you got your one and 250 00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:24,280 Speaker 1: two to clip in, but that goes to the gauges. 251 00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:27,760 Speaker 1: Now the other one, I always thought that went back 252 00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:33,000 Speaker 1: to the power. Yeah, and it's grounded. It took to 253 00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:36,960 Speaker 1: the ground, right to the ground. That sounds wrong. Yeah, 254 00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:41,200 Speaker 1: it sounds sounds crazy to me. But I started it 255 00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:44,240 Speaker 1: up and got it going run pretty good at changing 256 00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:48,200 Speaker 1: it wiped out cabinet and uh, I get point six 257 00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:53,480 Speaker 1: five volts coming off that grounded wire. Anyway, I disconnected 258 00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:56,559 Speaker 1: it and hooked up back to battery, and I'm getting 259 00:13:56,600 --> 00:14:01,400 Speaker 1: five out of it. So I don't understand why. Yeah, 260 00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:03,600 Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't. I don't understand that either. 261 00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:07,400 Speaker 1: You know. One of the concerns on an older vehicle is, 262 00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:10,080 Speaker 1: you know, you start to think about it, the vehicles 263 00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:13,079 Speaker 1: fifty years old, the wiring harness. You know, if you're 264 00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:16,040 Speaker 1: going to restore it and have it reliable, they're cheap enough. 265 00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:18,200 Speaker 1: You may want to buy an engine compartment wiring harness 266 00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:22,360 Speaker 1: and just replace it. Because the car doesn't have many 267 00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:26,280 Speaker 1: miles on it, it's a stage one motor and but 268 00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:28,400 Speaker 1: that look factor than me. I looked at it and 269 00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:31,880 Speaker 1: looked like I've been been there for forty years. I 270 00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:34,640 Speaker 1: you know my memory. And it's funny, you know. It's 271 00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:37,120 Speaker 1: the same wiring diagram as the Monte Carlo I'm working on. 272 00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:39,000 Speaker 1: It's a blue and white. It's a blue and white 273 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:41,480 Speaker 1: wire at that little square you have a rectangular plug 274 00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:44,040 Speaker 1: at the back of the alternator, right, Yeah, the ground 275 00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:47,080 Speaker 1: wire was a black wire about right which ground wire? 276 00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:50,160 Speaker 1: It came up to one and two and you've got 277 00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:52,120 Speaker 1: your clip in your women too, right, Yeah, I got 278 00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:54,760 Speaker 1: a clip in mind's blue and white and blue was 279 00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:57,280 Speaker 1: battery back to the hot and then white went back 280 00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:00,600 Speaker 1: through to the gauges. Uh, the white into the game. 281 00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:03,480 Speaker 1: But the other one was black, and that's the one 282 00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:06,840 Speaker 1: that was grounded. I've never seen yeah, I've never seen 283 00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:09,240 Speaker 1: one that was black. To be honest with you, John, 284 00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:13,120 Speaker 1: I would um, I would match that up against the 285 00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:16,120 Speaker 1: wiring diagram seventy four. My mom had a seventy four 286 00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:19,640 Speaker 1: Monte Carlo. When I remember that small block Chevy, same 287 00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:22,640 Speaker 1: basic alternator and it was blue white and the heavy 288 00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:24,560 Speaker 1: lug wire going to the back of the alternator for 289 00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:27,320 Speaker 1: the battery was red like it always has been, you know, 290 00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:30,080 Speaker 1: so you know, one of the things, and like I 291 00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:33,680 Speaker 1: was saying, I try not to unresolved the way somebody 292 00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:36,520 Speaker 1: did something fifty years ago. You know what it could 293 00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:38,800 Speaker 1: look like it was factory after sitting for twenty years. 294 00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:41,320 Speaker 1: Maybe they put a right clip on it. I don't know. 295 00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:44,440 Speaker 1: You don't know how people think. If if I mean, 296 00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:47,200 Speaker 1: you're proving whatever they did is being wrong because you 297 00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:49,160 Speaker 1: you wired it the way you remembered it to be 298 00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:55,320 Speaker 1: and it works fine, right, and it works fine. So 299 00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:57,080 Speaker 1: why would they do it? Why would they do it? 300 00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:59,880 Speaker 1: You know, people do funny things. Maybe they used the 301 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:01,680 Speaker 1: are for drag racing and they were looking for a 302 00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:04,280 Speaker 1: way to disable the charging system because they thought they'd 303 00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:06,160 Speaker 1: get more horsepower out of it. You know, I've I've 304 00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:08,400 Speaker 1: seen people do some really stupid things in my career. 305 00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:12,480 Speaker 1: Um uh, you know, you don't know how they're thinking. Uh. 306 00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:15,800 Speaker 1: Company by the name of m n H Wiring out 307 00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:20,640 Speaker 1: of California, because there's only a few companies making wiring 308 00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:22,680 Speaker 1: harnesses now, and a lot of them buy it from 309 00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:25,800 Speaker 1: just one or two sources. M n H. To my knowledge, 310 00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:28,360 Speaker 1: I've always bought from them as the direct source m 311 00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:32,479 Speaker 1: n H Wiring. I believe MNH vintage m H Wiring, California. 312 00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:34,680 Speaker 1: I bet you the harness for that engine compartment isn't 313 00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:38,360 Speaker 1: a hundred bucks, and it would eliminate fifty years of 314 00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:42,360 Speaker 1: sitting and you know, potential of animal intrusion and everything else. 315 00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:44,200 Speaker 1: So if you're gonna keep the car and drive the 316 00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:47,240 Speaker 1: car and enjoy the car, uh, you know. I did 317 00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:50,520 Speaker 1: engine compartment wiring harnesses in the Monty, obviously, I did 318 00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:52,000 Speaker 1: it in the fifty five. I tend to do it 319 00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:53,840 Speaker 1: in all the cars that I restore and put back 320 00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:56,840 Speaker 1: to life based on the age, because everything is now 321 00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:00,440 Speaker 1: so old. And you know, if I don't know the 322 00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:02,840 Speaker 1: history on the car, I don't know what somebody was 323 00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:04,880 Speaker 1: thinking or how they were operating, or what their mind 324 00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:07,879 Speaker 1: was capable of. Um, you're better off replacing it. Its 325 00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:11,680 Speaker 1: cheap insurance, so I'll probably replace it. And I replaced 326 00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:19,600 Speaker 1: everything else, I mean breaks and you know everything. Yeah, 327 00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:21,480 Speaker 1: and you know what, you may never get an answer 328 00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:23,680 Speaker 1: to it, but the fact that you put it back 329 00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:26,639 Speaker 1: to the way you thought it was gonna be and 330 00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:30,240 Speaker 1: it worked tells you that you were right. And whatever 331 00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:32,240 Speaker 1: they were doing was wrong. But like I said at 332 00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:36,919 Speaker 1: the beginning of this conversation, you can't unravel a mind 333 00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:39,280 Speaker 1: the way of mind work. Sometimes you can't make sense 334 00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:41,800 Speaker 1: that of an irrational thought process. I say it at 335 00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:43,440 Speaker 1: the shop a half a dozen times a week. I'm 336 00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:47,640 Speaker 1: thinking of patent thing that's saying, so alright, so well, 337 00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:51,000 Speaker 1: you'd be well, enjoy the car. You're very welcome. Yeah, 338 00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:54,080 Speaker 1: I you know. And there's no point in trying to 339 00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:57,280 Speaker 1: make sense out of interrational thought process. It's if you 340 00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:00,320 Speaker 1: know how it's supposed to work, and you make work 341 00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:03,040 Speaker 1: like that, you know, and then all of a sudden 342 00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:06,000 Speaker 1: you'll come across somebody that says, well, you know, my 343 00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:08,119 Speaker 1: father told me to do it that way on a 344 00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:11,200 Speaker 1: car similar to this, but not on this exact car, 345 00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:14,879 Speaker 1: and you realize that, you know what, It's a scientific 346 00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:18,439 Speaker 1: approach done in an unscientific manner. So replace the wiring harness. 347 00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:20,560 Speaker 1: It would be your best bet and keep it the safest. 348 00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:22,520 Speaker 1: I'm running Naming of the Car Doctor.

They pulled the 359 00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:28,800 Speaker 1: plug on three and sure enough there's some water in there. 360 00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:31,280 Speaker 1: He said, yeah, we're gonna have to do a head 361 00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:36,680 Speaker 1: gasket and get the headplaned, etcetera, etcetera.

I don't 375 00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:30,960 Speaker 1: think I went over a hundred and fifteen. But then 376 00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:33,480 Speaker 1: about six miles from home, I go around some curves 377 00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:36,560 Speaker 1: and I punch it and it starts missing. It has 378 00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:40,560 Speaker 1: no power, and I'm thinking, oh lord, no, that's the 379 00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:45,840 Speaker 1: head gasket.

So Tom found out 451 00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:12,440 Speaker 1: it's only a half a million dollars. That would be 452 00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:14,679 Speaker 1: quite a bit of advertising that we would have to 453 00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:19,480 Speaker 1: do in order to generate that.

I listened to your 480 00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:51,919 Speaker 1: excellent radio show live when possible, and also on podcast 481 00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:55,400 Speaker 1: Bill And the topic of his email is fixing one 482 00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:58,320 Speaker 1: automotive problem leads to solving another that I didn't know 483 00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:00,840 Speaker 1: I had, and he starts out the radio and my 484 00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:04,080 Speaker 1: two thousand five Ford focused Focus was replaced by a 485 00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:07,760 Speaker 1: body shop years ago after an unformed, unforeseen encounter with 486 00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:11,000 Speaker 1: a deer. The replacement radiator has two unused bungs three 487 00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:12,720 Speaker 1: eights and five eighths that need to be kept off 488 00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:15,120 Speaker 1: of my application the original radiator. They not have these. 489 00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:17,720 Speaker 1: Approximately every two years, I have to replace the cooling 490 00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:20,320 Speaker 1: bypass caps as they crack and lead coolant when I 491 00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:23,960 Speaker 1: at least expected the dormant coolant bypass caps should not 492 00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:26,240 Speaker 1: be sold as such since they fail way too often. 493 00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:28,960 Speaker 1: Product reviews agree they do. And you know what, Dorman 494 00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:30,879 Speaker 1: does have some of their issues, and they do respond 495 00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:32,879 Speaker 1: to that. I think they're actually I think I know 496 00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:35,080 Speaker 1: the capture speaking of and I believe they've corrected that 497 00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:37,400 Speaker 1: and they're making a better product at this time. That's 498 00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:39,120 Speaker 1: one thing I give them credit for. They do when 499 00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:42,000 Speaker 1: they find a problem, they re engineer it and work 500 00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:44,560 Speaker 1: it until it's solved. This time, I purchased high temp 501 00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:48,760 Speaker 1: coolant and burping the system. I connected my Actron cpnine six. 502 00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:53,080 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Skinner in order to monitor cool intemp focuses 503 00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:54,760 Speaker 1: run hot. I'm not sure if they're looking at a 504 00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:58,840 Speaker 1: true cool attempt censor or or just the cylinder head temps. 505 00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:00,440 Speaker 1: So I wanted to be as safe as Paul possible 506 00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:03,480 Speaker 1: while looking at the pits. I always look at long 507 00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:06,000 Speaker 1: term and short term fuel trims. As you advised, Low 508 00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:09,600 Speaker 1: and Behold. Long term fuel trim was plus twenty four percent, 509 00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:13,360 Speaker 1: no mill set, no check engine lightset, and no pending codes. However, Bee, 510 00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:15,160 Speaker 1: you said, Ford's a joid tripping a code and will 511 00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:17,760 Speaker 1: keep compensating for a problem up to just blow the 512 00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:19,720 Speaker 1: trip limit right, Well, it won't. It won't buy O 513 00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:22,919 Speaker 1: b D two law. I believe twenty five or thirty 514 00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:26,639 Speaker 1: five percent depends on vehicle application as to where they 515 00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:28,800 Speaker 1: will trip a code. So you could have twenty four 516 00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:32,159 Speaker 1: point six percent fuel trim and if it sets a 517 00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:36,439 Speaker 1: twenty five. It's not setting um. Bill continues, I was 518 00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:38,480 Speaker 1: pressing on a hosebo the air intake manifold and noticed 519 00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:41,360 Speaker 1: a change in sound a hiss when I depressed it. 520 00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:44,639 Speaker 1: It wasn't that this hose was bad, it wasn't that 521 00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:46,439 Speaker 1: this hose was made, but by pushing down on I 522 00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:48,879 Speaker 1: was actually also depressing a vacuum cap mounted to the 523 00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:51,679 Speaker 1: top of the manifold. Upon further inspection, the cap was 524 00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:54,119 Speaker 1: severely cracked on the sides, which wasn't easily visible when 525 00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:56,600 Speaker 1: the cap is installed onto the nipple. I replaced it 526 00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:58,640 Speaker 1: with a high temp vacuum cap to correct the leak. 527 00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:00,520 Speaker 1: There are a lot of sounds made by an engine, 528 00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:03,440 Speaker 1: and then hissing wasn't obvious or noticeable until I replaced 529 00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:07,320 Speaker 1: the leaking cap. Fuel trims began decreasing immediately. Thanks so 530 00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:09,520 Speaker 1: much for your emphasis on checking fuel trims. Look at 531 00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:11,439 Speaker 1: them even when you don't have a code or noticeable 532 00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:13,919 Speaker 1: performance problem. I credit your advice for fixing a problem 533 00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:18,280 Speaker 1: I didn't know I had. Bill Caldwell, longtime listener, charlottes Ville, Virginia, 534 00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:21,800 Speaker 1: you know any we wrote a PSPs ron. I replaced 535 00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:24,040 Speaker 1: the original cat about five years ago, as the honeycomb 536 00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:26,520 Speaker 1: broke away and I was banging around inside, I took 537 00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:29,359 Speaker 1: the bed cat to my workplace office as a conversation 538 00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:31,399 Speaker 1: piece for people to look at and shake. I realized 539 00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:34,280 Speaker 1: that resolving the recent vacuum cap issue may save me 540 00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:37,639 Speaker 1: from possibly replacing the cap again. Sure, it's an imbalanced 541 00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:39,720 Speaker 1: fuel mixture. You're causing the engine to run out of 542 00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:42,200 Speaker 1: its comfort zone. You're making it work harder, and you're 543 00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:44,760 Speaker 1: putting that much more emphasis on all the emission controls 544 00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:48,040 Speaker 1: as well as the engine itself. Some of the things 545 00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:51,720 Speaker 1: that we've gotten away from, and I blame the diagnostics. 546 00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:55,320 Speaker 1: I blame how smart cars are today. Some of the 547 00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:59,600 Speaker 1: things we've gotten away from is using our brain in 548 00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:01,880 Speaker 1: the in so that we've got no check engine light. 549 00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:04,640 Speaker 1: There must be nothing wrong with the car. No. You 550 00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:07,080 Speaker 1: know what, when you go to a doctor, have you 551 00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:09,840 Speaker 1: ever notice you go to a doctor, they always just 552 00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:13,520 Speaker 1: about always take your heart rate, blood pressure, and they 553 00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:15,880 Speaker 1: ask you some basic questions and you could be in 554 00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:19,479 Speaker 1: there for a hangnail, all right, They're always looking at 555 00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:22,760 Speaker 1: your vitals and you really have to get in the 556 00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:25,440 Speaker 1: habit of doing that with cars. Look at the vitals. 557 00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:27,960 Speaker 1: I don't see how repair shops don't look at vitals. 558 00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:33,840 Speaker 1: You know, a car comes in for and this is 559 00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:36,840 Speaker 1: gonna be extreme, but I'll say it a tire rotation 560 00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:41,200 Speaker 1: and the next day the check engine light pops on. 561 00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:44,080 Speaker 1: Don't you think they're gonna come back and hey, what 562 00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:47,760 Speaker 1: do you do to my car? Now? You know, do 563 00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:50,719 Speaker 1: we check every tire rotation with a SCANTL No, it's impractical. 564 00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:52,880 Speaker 1: We haven't gotten to that point yet. But we need 565 00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:55,680 Speaker 1: to think like that. But I'll tell you this. We 566 00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:59,200 Speaker 1: service a car. We do fuel system cleaning, trans service, 567 00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:02,560 Speaker 1: cooling service, and so on, even though it doesn't call 568 00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:06,320 Speaker 1: for it. We will do a pre and post scam 569 00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:10,080 Speaker 1: tool data stream analysis, will look at the vitals of 570 00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:13,080 Speaker 1: that vehicle. We'll look to see, you know, Number one, 571 00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:14,760 Speaker 1: I want to see, does the fuel trim change? Number 572 00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:16,600 Speaker 1: two I want to see was the fuel trim close? 573 00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:19,760 Speaker 1: Was the fuel trim twenty three? Or it's gonna set 574 00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:22,960 Speaker 1: a fault code at because I want to know and 575 00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:26,840 Speaker 1: what does it go down? Listen, I've talked about this 576 00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:30,000 Speaker 1: in the past couple of months. Uh. One of the 577 00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:34,800 Speaker 1: daughter's cars, the fourteen Escape, had positive fuel trim of 578 00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:41,080 Speaker 1: almost I think it was fault code sets at and 579 00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:44,680 Speaker 1: I ended up resolving it. I figured out and got 580 00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:46,360 Speaker 1: into it was a crank case breather. It was a 581 00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:50,760 Speaker 1: combination of crank case breather, dirty injectors, and something else 582 00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:54,280 Speaker 1: that I don't recall, a vacuum line somewhere. That all 583 00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:56,360 Speaker 1: made a difference in the operating characterist because of that 584 00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:58,880 Speaker 1: engine brought the fuel trim down to nine percent and dropping. 585 00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:03,320 Speaker 1: You know, you gotta look at vitals. You gotta look 586 00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:06,000 Speaker 1: at the little things you can't get stuck on. And 587 00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:08,720 Speaker 1: this is why I read this letter that while my 588 00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:10,400 Speaker 1: car doesn't have a check engine light, but yet it 589 00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:13,960 Speaker 1: does this, this, and this. Start to think outside the box. 590 00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:17,200 Speaker 1: If the check engine light wasn't on the vehicle, how 591 00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:20,000 Speaker 1: would you diagnose it. You would start to look at fuel, 592 00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:21,720 Speaker 1: You would start to look at spark, you would start 593 00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:24,520 Speaker 1: to look at transmission operation. You would start to break 594 00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:29,000 Speaker 1: each system down. All diagnostics and scan tools do is 595 00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:32,520 Speaker 1: make it quicker and easier for us to access the information. 596 00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:35,520 Speaker 1: Doesn't mean the information is not accessible or obtainable on 597 00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:39,840 Speaker 1: any other method. And sometimes doing a you know, stick 598 00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:42,040 Speaker 1: out your tongue and say, huh, check your heart rate? 599 00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:45,160 Speaker 1: And blood pressure doing that on a regular basis. I'll 600 00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:47,080 Speaker 1: tell you what, if you're a repair shopping you're listening 601 00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:48,760 Speaker 1: to this thing about this, you want to know what 602 00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:50,880 Speaker 1: ends the conversation about what did you do to my car? 603 00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:53,280 Speaker 1: You know? I brought it into an oil chain and 604 00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:55,200 Speaker 1: the next day the check engine light came on. Well, 605 00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:57,560 Speaker 1: let's see, Mr Jones, six months ago we checked fuel 606 00:31:57,560 --> 00:31:59,880 Speaker 1: trim when we serviced it, and at a fuel trim 607 00:31:59,880 --> 00:32:01,800 Speaker 1: with only four in my notes say that you were 608 00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:04,240 Speaker 1: interested in looking into it because the light wasn't on. Well, 609 00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:07,520 Speaker 1: now the lights on, you know what it It ends 610 00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:10,040 Speaker 1: the conversation in a favorable manner for the repair shop 611 00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:13,720 Speaker 1: because the customer realizes that it's it's not related to 612 00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:17,600 Speaker 1: something you did. Change the way you're looking at cars, 613 00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:20,280 Speaker 1: whether you're doing it professionally or you're doing it on 614 00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:25,000 Speaker 1: the weekend. Think outside the box. You'll you'll you'll last longer, 615 00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:27,600 Speaker 1: and you'll you'll you'll last longer fixing cars, and you'll 616 00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:29,640 Speaker 1: get more out of the car. As a Bill in 617 00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:33,120 Speaker 1: Charlottesville h found out, so great letter, Bill, I really 618 00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:37,640 Speaker 1: appreciate it. Zero running any of the car doctor coming 619 00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:54,520 Speaker 1: back right after this welcome back. We're on naming the car, Doc. 620 00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:56,120 Speaker 1: You're here to wind it down this sura. You know, 621 00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:58,840 Speaker 1: there's a bit of Americana about this radio show. They're 622 00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:01,920 Speaker 1: really is and I think about it sometimes. You know 623 00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:03,720 Speaker 1: how cool it is I get to do this weekend 624 00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:06,400 Speaker 1: radio show. I always think about this little weekend radio show, right, 625 00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:10,720 Speaker 1: hundred forty affiliates, you know, podcast downloads, the whole nine yards, um. 626 00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:12,640 Speaker 1: It is kind of fun being me. It's sort of 627 00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:14,760 Speaker 1: it's sort of an interesting moment. I love the letters 628 00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:17,280 Speaker 1: that I get. I love the emails from Bruce Ron. 629 00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:19,200 Speaker 1: I drive about a thousand miles a year. Should I 630 00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:20,760 Speaker 1: change the oil once a year like I do? Now? 631 00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:23,040 Speaker 1: I change it yearly because I'm worried about getting water 632 00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:25,640 Speaker 1: out of the oil condensation. I agree. I have two 633 00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:28,280 Speaker 1: thousand eleven Chevy Malibu forour banger. Get ready to do 634 00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:30,560 Speaker 1: the water pump? Anything about this car I should keep 635 00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:32,760 Speaker 1: an eye on, Yeah, the water pump. I read something 636 00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:35,320 Speaker 1: about the manifold cracking on these car. They do. They 637 00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:37,640 Speaker 1: also get sticky rings, Bruce, And one of the issues 638 00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:39,560 Speaker 1: I would worry about is it runs a low tension 639 00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:43,480 Speaker 1: oil ring, getting clogged up, getting stuck, having oil consumption 640 00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:46,480 Speaker 1: issues if it were may because of the age of 641 00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:49,400 Speaker 1: the car and what this engine with this particular vehicle 642 00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:51,720 Speaker 1: is with particular engine is, I would do an oil 643 00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:54,720 Speaker 1: change once every six months, best quality synthetic oil I 644 00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:57,840 Speaker 1: could put into it. Make sure you do that, and 645 00:33:58,000 --> 00:33:59,840 Speaker 1: obviously look at the rest of the fluids. If the 646 00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:02,600 Speaker 1: most of the fluids on the car are original, I 647 00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:04,640 Speaker 1: wouldn't have any problem changing them as well. By now 648 00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:07,200 Speaker 1: you should have done cool and at least twice or once, 649 00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:09,800 Speaker 1: and now it's due for a second time. And clearly 650 00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:11,279 Speaker 1: I would do a trans service. I don't know how 651 00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:13,879 Speaker 1: many miles were on the car, but fluids do fall 652 00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:16,480 Speaker 1: out of suspension and have issues as they age, so 653 00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:19,719 Speaker 1: doing it and servicing on a regular basis wouldn't be 654 00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:22,919 Speaker 1: the worst idea. But like I said, once every six months, um, 655 00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:24,759 Speaker 1: just for my peace of mind, because I also want 656 00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:26,600 Speaker 1: to keep an eye on the older car. And then 657 00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:28,240 Speaker 1: this letter, this has to be one of the funniest 658 00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:30,000 Speaker 1: letters I think we've ever gotten. This comes to us 659 00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:33,080 Speaker 1: from Joe from Cleveland, Ohio. I just spent a hundred 660 00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:35,400 Speaker 1: and fifty dollars to replace twenty lug nuts on my 661 00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:39,000 Speaker 1: wife's focus.
