00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,640
Speaker 1: Ron and Anian when Car and Driver reviewed the you

2
00:00:02,840 --> 00:00:06,320
Speaker 1: go there's harding comment was, here's a car that has

3
00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:10,080
Speaker 1: a four speed shifter that shifts with all the precision

4
00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:12,680
Speaker 1: of a baseball bat and a barrel of coconuts. The

5
00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:15,320
Speaker 1: car Doctor, let's just look at the basics. Let's, you know,

6
00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:17,919
Speaker 1: before we start hooking up tools and just pressure bleeding

7
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:19,799
Speaker 1: things and so forth. He had the calipers on the

8
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:22,360
Speaker 1: wrong side, so he had the left caliper on the

9
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:25,200
Speaker 1: right side, the right caliper on the left side. Rookie mistake,

10
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:28,120
Speaker 1: but you can't knock him for try. And Welcome to

Speaker 1: being there, so hang out for a minute. Um. I

27
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:22,399
Speaker 1: want to talk a little bit about you know, orto repairs,

28
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 1: like you've got to be You've got to be like Colombo.

29
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 1: You've got to sort of work in there, like like

30
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 1: Peter falk And and you know, you know, kind of

31
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 1: give it that, you know, squint to the eye and

32
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:38,839
Speaker 1: which he did very well, and you know, just sort

33
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 1: of shuffle up to the car and just what's going

34
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:46,679
Speaker 1: on here? Oh three g M C Yukon was towed in,

35
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 1: towed in, dude because it wouldn't run. It's stalled on

36
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 1: right hand turns, all right, and the customer was afraid

37
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 1: to drive it. So it was towed in, parked at

38
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 1: the far end of the lot. And I finally got

39
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 1: around to it a couple of days later because we've been,

40
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 1: as usual, very very busy, and the battery was dead

41
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 1: stone dead, like you know, it just it didn't want

42
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 1: to do anything. So I, you know, started charging the battery.

43
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:20,240
Speaker 1: The battery was new or newer, I should say. So

44
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 1: I charged the battery and just like gee, it's just

45
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:26,919
Speaker 1: forever to take a charge. Like what's going on here?

46
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:32,360
Speaker 1: GM side terminals took the battery cables off and the

47
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 1: negative ground cable bolt stud bolt was corroded really like

48
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 1: look terrible. You couldn't see it from the outside. I

49
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:42,519
Speaker 1: never liked those side terminals because of that. You can't

50
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 1: see how cleaner dirty it is under the under the

51
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,799
Speaker 1: under the connection. So you know, took the battery out

52
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 1: of the car, put separate posts on it, charged it

53
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 1: separately from the vehicle. You know, you took the cable,

54
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 1: cleaned it. By the way, one of the best ways

55
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 1: for cleaning battery cables. I still say it. It still works.

56
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 1: You get you get boiling hot order. You know, forget

57
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 1: all these chemicals. I I've come to the conclusion that

58
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 1: sprang all these chemicals on these batteries if you're not

59
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 1: if you're not gingerly and careful, you're spraying all these

60
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 1: these corrosive cleaners that get onto the wiring harness and

61
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:17,119
Speaker 1: everywhere else, and it makes a mess. It gets Schmutzi

62
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 1: technical term. And you know, just just just a couple

63
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:22,359
Speaker 1: of hot water, just soaked the cable in in it

64
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:26,080
Speaker 1: and just watched the corrosion resolve away and cleaned up

65
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 1: the cable, put the battery back in. Wow, battery held

66
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 1: the charge. Wow. The car started, but it ran terrible.

67
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 1: It barely three pm at idle, barely snuck it around

68
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 1: the block. And yeah, it's stalled on right hand turns

69
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 1: for whatever reason, it's stalled worse on right hand turns

70
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 1: than left hand turns. It just struggled. So I sat

71
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 1: and I looked at the notes, and the customers request

72
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 1: was dead battery or comments was dead battery stalling, and

73
00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 1: replaced the intake manifold gaskets for the check engine light,

74
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 1: which at this point was gone because the battery was dead.

75
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 1: And I had to look back in my notes. I

76
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 1: hadn't seen the vehicle in a year and a half

77
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 1: better part of of of a year and in eight months,

78
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 1: and it was for a lean Pizero one seven four fold,

79
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 1: which is generally intake medical gaskets on this generation or

80
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 1: mass airflow center or some combination thereof. But I didn't

81
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:24,480
Speaker 1: have the condition right now, and I started thinking about

82
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:26,920
Speaker 1: what are we really after here? We're trying to get

83
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:29,159
Speaker 1: this car to run, But I don't think we're trying

84
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 1: to spend a lot of money because I'm looking at

85
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 1: the wiper blades. You know, you can tell a lot

86
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 1: by looking at wiper blades on a vehicle. You know

87
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 1: how long that vehicle has been sitting there? All? Right?

88
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 1: When you turn the wiper blades on and you dragged

89
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 1: enough twigs across the glass that Skippy could build a

90
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 1: new squirrel cage, you know, you're like, Yeah, this vehicle

91
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:50,679
Speaker 1: hasn't really gone anywhere in a while. So I called

92
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:52,480
Speaker 1: the customer up and I said, Dan, what are we

93
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,279
Speaker 1: What are we trying to achieve here? I've got it

94
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:58,119
Speaker 1: to run. I've got it. So the battery holds a charge,

95
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:01,719
Speaker 1: there's no draw on it. It does stall, and I'll

96
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 1: tell you what I think that is in a minute.

97
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 1: But you know, what are we trying? Well, I'm just

98
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 1: trying to get it through. My daughter's gonna use it

99
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:07,919
Speaker 1: to go to high school. We haven't been using it

100
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:11,159
Speaker 1: for a while. Aha, Okay, I didn't get that part

101
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:12,840
Speaker 1: of the equation. How long have I been sitting? Well?

102
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 1: Was sitting about four months and when we came back

103
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 1: to it, it had a dead battery and went, ah

104
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 1: ha ah has a good word, right, we like, ah,

105
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 1: I'm right, it's like Nena, so the late great John

106
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 1: Pannet Nena. So you know, okay, And he said, I'm

107
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 1: not so worried about the check engine light as its

108
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,720
Speaker 1: stalls on right hand turns. Ah ha, there's that a

109
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 1: ha again. I said, I'll call you back. What happens

110
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 1: to a You know, as we age, as we age,

111
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 1: we adapt, right, we get older, you know, we squint,

112
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 1: we get glasses, we you know, get walkers. We you know,

113
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:54,480
Speaker 1: we age. As cars age, they adapt. The computer adjust

114
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:57,599
Speaker 1: for certain things as it ages. When this oh three

115
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 1: Yukon with a thousand, nine twenty three miles on it

116
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 1: had a dead battery from sitting and then they put

117
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,160
Speaker 1: the new battery in. What was the mistake? Show of hands.

118
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 1: That's right. The guy in the third row back on

119
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 1: the left side, he's right, he's showing me the flash card.

120
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 1: He's saying, hey, they didn't do what idol relearn BINGO

121
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 1: give that man a cigar. So I took the intake

122
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 1: duck to off. Sure enough, the throttle body intake duck

123
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:30,360
Speaker 1: was black as call dirty is you know what? Cleaned

124
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 1: it up spotless, made it look like a hospital. You

125
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 1: could do surgery inside this throttle body. Now, put the

126
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 1: intake buck back on, disconnected the battery short of the

127
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 1: terminals together, did the procedure the way you're supposed to

128
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:44,480
Speaker 1: start to, put the battery terminals back on, started it

129
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:47,599
Speaker 1: up now. Instead of a three ft rpm idol struggling,

130
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 1: I had a seven pm idol like glass. The car

131
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:54,839
Speaker 1: around the block, the car road finals didn't stall on

132
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,479
Speaker 1: right turns, left turn stop signs, whatever you want to do.

133
00:06:57,800 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 1: I still don't know why it's stoleed more on right

134
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,599
Speaker 1: during than left turns because of a dirty throttle body.

135
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 1: But that's just the way this one worked. And that's

136
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 1: what I called the customer back, and I said, okay,

137
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 1: I've got no check engine light because of the dead

138
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 1: battery the throttle body. It was so dirty that the

139
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 1: computer couldn't get a register for where it was supposed

140
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 1: to be. I've cleaned the throttle body, I've relearned the idle.

141
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:22,679
Speaker 1: The truck runs fine. What do you want to do?

142
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 1: I want to come pick up the truck, which I

143
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 1: knew was going to be the answer, because I get it.

144
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 1: You know it's it's we're we're trying to save money

145
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 1: on a car for a high school kid, I said,

146
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 1: and I gave him the drill. Listen, it's it's his vehicle.

147
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 1: It's safe, it's reasonable, it's moral. I said, you know

148
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 1: it's it's gonna have a check engine light. The check

149
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 1: engine light is not fixed. It's it's just the way

150
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 1: it is. It's gonna come back on. And I did also,

151
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 1: I did some brief pre repair analysis, if you want

152
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 1: to call it that. I look a calculated load off

153
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 1: the mass airflown. It was way off the mark of

154
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 1: the most I coul get out of it. Put my

155
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 1: foot into the headlight was about six if you can

156
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 1: follow that conversation. And I said, I know it's gonna

157
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 1: come back for lean fault codes. It's either gonna be

158
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 1: mass airflow issues or a combination of mass airflow and intake.

159
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 1: It's gonna need something. But my point is how much

160
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 1: damage can a dead battery cause? How bad can a

161
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 1: battery affect how a vehicle operates? In this case, it

162
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 1: made the car stall. If you think about it, the

163
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 1: battery went bad. It wasn't relearned. It's the idle speed

164
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 1: wasn't relearned properly. The throttle body had to be cleaned.

165
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 1: But all of that happened because when the vehicle sat,

166
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 1: the battery went bad and they replaced it, and nobody

167
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 1: followed procedure. Not to mention, they didn't clean the negative

168
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 1: battery terminal where the cable end. And my point becomes,

169
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 1: you have to be like a detective. You've got to

170
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 1: look at the small stuff. You've got to, you know,

171
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 1: be aware of the little things that are in front

172
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 1: of you. I had a young man the other day.

173
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 1: We were helping him Sewan how to work on cars.

174
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 1: We were doing some doing our good deed stuff, and

175
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:02,079
Speaker 1: he didn't know how something went together. And I explained

176
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:04,079
Speaker 1: to my show, you know, cars have index marks on.

177
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 1: If you're looking at how a car is put together,

178
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 1: it's put together. So the average assembly line worker, do

179
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 1: you know how long the average assembly line worker has

180
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 1: to put that part on the car? Tony, We're gonna

181
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:17,080
Speaker 1: go to break because I'm gonna leave this as a question.

182
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:18,720
Speaker 1: I'm gonna hang this over the break and see who

183
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 1: comes back. What's the average length of time? And and

184
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,840
Speaker 1: and it's it's it's a lot shorter than you think

185
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 1: to hang the average part. I saw this the other day.

186
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:31,199
Speaker 1: I was floored. And this proves the point that the

187
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 1: index parts at the assembly line level. So that you

188
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 1: follow those indexes, you know how to put the car together.

189
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 1: I'll give you the best example. I'll tell you what.

190
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 1: I'll give you that. I'll give you the best example

191
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 1: of that. Look at the front of any late model

192
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 1: GM vehicle. Do this walking through a parking lot. If

193
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:49,719
Speaker 1: you look at the windshield wipers. The windshield wipers lay

194
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 1: on the glass. Look just below the wipers. There's always

195
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 1: a black or brown line which is embedded in the glass.

196
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,719
Speaker 1: That's the index mark of where the wipers supposed to

197
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 1: say it. They do it all the time. I'm ron

198
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 1: and aiding in the car. Doctor five zero nine zero.

199
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 1: We're gonna open the garage doors when I come back,

200
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:10,560
Speaker 1: and I'll tell you how long the assembly line workers

201
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:13,080
Speaker 1: have to put those parts on the car stay around?

202
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 1: Don't you hate when you need some expensive partner service?

203
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 1: At sure makes maintain your car a frustrating task. Thankfully,

204
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:21,960
Speaker 1: pet Boys has over a million parts in stock, like batteries, filters,

205
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:23,959
Speaker 1: break pads and more, and if you need a little

206
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 1: extra help, the pet Boys Pros will install the part

207

Speaker 1: five five zero nine nine zero zero. Speaking to Ron

216
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 1: here he is so on the assembly line. By the way,

217
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:04,959
Speaker 1: I want to welcome Lucy the Wonder Dog. Lucy tell

218
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:08,559
Speaker 1: everybody what Tom knows about cars. Okay, that's why he's

219
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 1: on the other side of the glass. So I have

220
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:11,560
Speaker 1: Lucy the Wonder Dog in here with me for this

221
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 1: portion of the show. Um, she's sleeping on the floor

222
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 1: at my feet. Um, Lucy's a pit bull. By the way, folks,

223
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:17,959
Speaker 1: we should put a picture of Lucy up on the

224
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,679
Speaker 1: Facebook page Tom Show everybody. Show everybody the guard dog

225
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 1: that protects the studio when we're not here. So if

226
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 1: you give her a piece of meat. If you feed

227
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 1: her anything, she'll show you where the crown jewels are.

228
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 1: Trust me, she doesn't care. Um. The average the on

229
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 1: the assembly line, back to the conversation the assembly line,

230
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 1: the average worker, Okay, less than a minute forty eight

231
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 1: seconds moving along. Get the car going because we've got

232
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 1: we've got You've got forty eight seconds to hang whatever

233
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 1: it is you're gonna hang, or less because there's another

234
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:52,200
Speaker 1: one coming along right behind it. Um, So just just

235
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:54,200
Speaker 1: beware of that. So you know, we start talking about

236
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 1: index marks. Hoses have to line up. Look at the

237
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 1: way hoses are put on. There's actually a white line

238
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 1: on the hose and it'll sometimes it'll tell you radiator

239
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 1: end engine. And there's a lot of index marks on

240
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:06,200
Speaker 1: cars showing you how they were assembled because they're trying

241
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 1: to speed things up on the assembly line. That's a

242
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 1: key part of the key part of the puzzle. So

243
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 1: let's kick the garage doors open. I've kept these good

244
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:14,679
Speaker 1: people waiting long enough, and I appreciate your patients. Keith

245
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 1: in Indianapolis or Indiana, I'm the shore with that is,

246
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 1: Tom wrote, Indie. I'm not sure what he means. They're Keith,

247
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 1: I apologize on nine Toyota CNA and some noise on startup.

248
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 1: How can I help you, sir? Yeah, it's Indianapolis, Indiana,

249
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 1: and uh good talk to your own Uh yeah, I've

250
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 1: got non in Toyota Ciana. Pattis since his brand new,

251
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 1: got ninety six thousand miles on it, got the three

252
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 1: and a half or V six engine, phuck change oil

253
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 1: and filter in it religiously since it was new and

254
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 1: within the last I would say six months, I've developed

255
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 1: a rattle. I'm startup and the vehicle has to sit

256
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:51,439
Speaker 1: either overnight or for a few hours for it to

257
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 1: do this cattle. If you started, you know, consecutively, you

258
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:58,439
Speaker 1: won't get the rattle. So at first I thought it

259
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 1: might be the starter, and I had my wife started

260
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:02,680
Speaker 1: one day while I had my head under the head

261
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 1: to see if I could kind of hewers coming from

262
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:05,680
Speaker 1: it sound I has come up from the top of

263
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:08,600
Speaker 1: the engine. I did a little bit of digging and

264
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 1: when I found online, I found them multiple YouTube videos

265
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:15,560
Speaker 1: of people having the same noise. I found possibly some

266
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 1: reference to service boltson toylet is issued for some of

267
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 1: the vehicles, although I'm not sure if my seat is

268
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:23,679
Speaker 1: included or not, but apparently in some of the three

269
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 1: and a half liter V six is and maybe even

270
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 1: some of the other engines, the camshaft, the intake cam

271
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 1: gear assembly will h develop a condition where it will

272
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:39,559
Speaker 1: not hold the oil pressure when the car sits exactly.

273
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 1: And H this sure sounds and looks like my problem.

274
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:49,199
Speaker 1: And my question is, h hey, if I don't anything

275
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 1: about it. It sounds like eventually the bolts for this

276
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 1: gear could eventually back out, which calls the you know,

277
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:59,560
Speaker 1: the pistons beneath the valves and destroyed my engine? Um?

278
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:02,839
Speaker 1: And how involved is this to six? Any idea? What

279
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 1: you know, Paul Park come in price range? I mean,

280
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:07,679
Speaker 1: I am kind of lost here. This sounds like a

281
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 1: scary repair. Yeah it is. It is a scary repair.

282
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:13,319
Speaker 1: And uh, you know my understanding though was and I'm

283
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:16,440
Speaker 1: surprised if you read that bulletin doesn't it also talk

284
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 1: about UM Toyota extending the warranty and doing some of

285
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 1: these repairs under warranty. I've only the only reference I

286
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 1: found as far as people have had this experience, as

287
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 1: people that have still been under the five year sixty

288
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 1: thousand mile power train warning, I have not actually called

289
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 1: Toyota yet to discuss this with him. Definitely on my

290
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 1: list of to do things here because I'm really not

291
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:42,640
Speaker 1: very happy right now. Yeah, I can imagine, Uh, you know,

292
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 1: it's it's let me ask you us whose service in

293
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 1: the car? Is it a Toyota dealer, is it independent

294
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 1: shop or is it you? When it comes to just

295
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 1: oil and filter changes, I've done that myself. Outside of that,

296
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:56,240
Speaker 1: I have an independent mechanic. He just did a strat

297
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 1: job on it, probably about twenty miles ago, and I've

298
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 1: taken it to Toyota for some minor things like front

299
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 1: end of line that stuff like that. But the vehicle

300
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 1: has been you know, really almost trouble free until now.

301
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 1: Until this. You know this, this this is an involved repair.

302
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 1: Fernomotor has got to come apart. Uh you know this

303
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 1: is this is internal stuff. There are updated pieces out

304
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 1: of Toyota, you know, whether your mechanic can deal with

305
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 1: it or not. Sometimes a lot of independent shops won't

306
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 1: get into internal engine work because it gets very specific,

307
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 1: especially if there's some you know, very special tools involved,

308
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 1: in which case there's always special tools involved. You know.

309
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 1: The first step I would do is I would make

310
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 1: the phone call to Toyota. All right, is this your

311
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 1: first Toyota? Okay, I'm a loyal Toyota. I'm gonna this

312
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 1: is We're gonna have the conversation. We're gonna practice the

313
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 1: conversation right here, all right, all right, you know it's like, Hi,

314
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 1: this is Mr Jones. I'm a loyal Toyota customer. This

315
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 1: is my second one. You know. Here, i am just

316
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:57,480
Speaker 1: approaching the hundred thousand mile mark and I'm thinking, hey,

317
00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 1: I'm good for another hundred thousand, and my engine's got

318
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 1: this rattle in it that, you know, I start to

319
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 1: do some research that references and then reference to bulletin

320
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 1: and talk about the you know, the the val timing

321
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 1: actuator or the camp chef's procket, whichever one you've got

322
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 1: in front of you, and um, you know, is this

323
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 1: something covered under warranty? Because let's face it, if you've

324
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:20,800
Speaker 1: got a bulletin about it, that means it's happening to

325
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 1: more than just a few vehicles. And then don't say anything,

326
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 1: all right. Whoever talks next loses is usually the way

327
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 1: the argument goes, all right, because when they sit there

328
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 1: and they say, well, you know, Mr Jones, we've we've

329
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 1: we've had this on a few vehicles. I forget what

330
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 1: the number is. I should know this, but I think

331
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 1: and I guess it varies by manufacturer and category, but

332
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 1: I believe the average number is somewhere around forty thousand vehicles.

333
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 1: When they see forty repetitious failures, I think that's the number. Uh,

334
00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:00,680
Speaker 1: that's what starts to trigger a bulletin, you know. I

335
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 1: think twenty thousand is where they're starting to pay attention.

336
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:06,199
Speaker 1: Forty tho is where they have the oops. Um, you know,

337
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:09,159
Speaker 1: the bulleting gets issued. And then there's another number. I

338
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 1: found this once online. There's another number I think it's

339
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 1: eighty or more um where they'll issue a recall. So

340
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 1: you know, listen, if you got a bulletin a known

341
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 1: pattern failure, all right, what are you gonna do for me?

342
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 1: All right now? Now, if they say, Mr Jones, what

343
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 1: do you want, well, I'd like you to I'd like

344
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 1: you to pay for it. Now they're gonna tell you

345
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 1: it's got to go to the dealer. Okay, I get

346
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:34,920
Speaker 1: it right. Somebody's got to confirm the diagnosis, all right.

347
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 1: So when it gets to the dealer, and the dealer

348
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 1: says yes, Mr Jones, it's a two thousand dollar repair.

349
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:44,240
Speaker 1: What are you gonna do for me? Listen, I know you, Toyota,

350
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 1: you have good will money. That's the word you got

351
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:50,240
Speaker 1: to use. You've got good will money in the kitty.

352
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 1: You want to make me happy as a Toyota customer

353
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:54,159
Speaker 1: because you want to get me to come back and

354
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:56,359
Speaker 1: buy another Toyota, don't you. You know you don't want

355
00:17:56,400 --> 00:18:00,040
Speaker 1: me to go buy from the competition, you know it.

356
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 1: That's when you find out what the company is made of.

357
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:05,399
Speaker 1: You got to ask him the questions that put him

358
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:07,560
Speaker 1: in the corner, because when they sit there and they say,

359
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:10,480
Speaker 1: we don't care where you buy your next vehicle from.

360
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:14,359
Speaker 1: See you right, what are you drive? What are you

361
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:17,400
Speaker 1: driving this thing for? All right? And then you're tell

362
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:20,679
Speaker 1: them what Toyota stands for and you hang up. You

363
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 1: know you know what? You know what Toyota stands for it,

364
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:25,480
Speaker 1: don't you You got a pencil? You may want to

365
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 1: write this now, all right? Toyota too often Yankees overpriced

366
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 1: this automobile, all right, and and and and then that'll

367
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 1: get him and you know what, and somewhere in the

368
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:37,240
Speaker 1: battels of the FBI, to open up a case study

369
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 1: on the car Doctor for being derogatory about automobiles. But

370
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:41,960
Speaker 1: that's that's it. I can I can hear r O.

371
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:44,880
Speaker 1: Guthrie in the back of my head. That's exactly how

372
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 1: you handle that. All right, let's get it diagnosed. How

373
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 1: much is it gonna cost? If they come back in

374
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:53,120
Speaker 1: north of deal they split parts and labor or something. Hey,

375
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:55,439
Speaker 1: you got something out of them. But if they do nothing,

376
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:57,640
Speaker 1: I say, walk away from the car and go buy

377
00:18:57,640 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 1: something else, because that's what ridiculous. Good luck. Let me

378
00:18:59,880 --> 00:19:01,400
Speaker 1: know what happens. I'm running any of the car doctor.

379
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:20,360
Speaker 1: We are back right after this. We'll back when meaning

380
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 1: the car doctor. Let's go and talk to Eric and

381
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:26,399
Speaker 1: mean at zero zero zero Eric, you're out with the

382
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 1: car doctor, sir, How can I help? How are you doing? Ron? Thanks? Um?

383
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:35,359
Speaker 1: I get a two thousand seven Chevallet Silverado. It's the

384
00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:37,960
Speaker 1: new style. I had the truck for four and a

385
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 1: half years. The only speakers that worked in the truck

386
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 1: was the two front tweeters in the right rear door,

387
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:47,920
Speaker 1: and about a couple of months ago, intermediately I would

388
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 1: pick up another speaker here and there it would come.

389
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 1: It would go At one point I had them all

390
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:55,879
Speaker 1: and then it went back to just the right rear.

391
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 1: Then it was just the left front door, and now

392
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 1: everything's gone except for the tweet. Okay, I'm just curious

393
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 1: that I've heard some people tell me each the radio.

394
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:07,919
Speaker 1: I've heard people tell me that it's the speakers. The

395
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:11,159
Speaker 1: answer is yes, Um, you know, here's here's here's what

396
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:13,120
Speaker 1: you gotta do. First of all, I don't think it'll

397
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:15,080
Speaker 1: be applicable, but I just want to bring it up.

398
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 1: There is a bulletin out for a similar condition from GM.

399
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 1: They start talking about losing speakers and you know some

400
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:25,320
Speaker 1: other issues that could occur. Bulleton numbers oh seven O

401
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 1: eight forty four double O eight. You want that again?

402
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 1: You don't know? You gotta you get that. Um, it's

403
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:38,760
Speaker 1: go ahead, we can do it again. Say when oh

404
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 1: seven uh oh seven O eight forty four double O eight.

405
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:45,800
Speaker 1: It was from April of two thousand seven. There may

406
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:47,640
Speaker 1: even be an A or a B version of that.

407
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:51,520
Speaker 1: They had issues with the connector at the amplifier where

408
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:53,960
Speaker 1: the harness was. The harness was backing out of the

409
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:57,119
Speaker 1: UH connector at or the connector was backing out of

410
00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:59,199
Speaker 1: the amplifier itself and it would cause all sorts of

411
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:03,600
Speaker 1: issues connectivity, speakers, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. If you had that

412
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:07,040
Speaker 1: radio option, it was it was it was a specific

413
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:11,399
Speaker 1: RPO production option fault or code. So, you know, just

414
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:13,720
Speaker 1: something to think about. Uh, you know, I would also

415
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:16,480
Speaker 1: just scan codes. I just I don't think you're gonna

416
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:19,080
Speaker 1: see anything. But you know, here's a classic example of

417
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:22,200
Speaker 1: I don't want to start chasing something that may turn

418
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:24,080
Speaker 1: up a fault code that I'll never see a warning

419
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:26,639
Speaker 1: light on. There's no you know, check radio light on

420
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 1: any dishboard, you know. So let's let's go into the

421
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:32,440
Speaker 1: body computer and just you know, because there's fault codes

422
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:35,159
Speaker 1: for the audio system, let's go into the body computer

423
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 1: and see do we have anything all right, and let's

424
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:41,160
Speaker 1: let's eliminate that, you know. Then then last then right now,

425
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:45,760
Speaker 1: if you've got tweeters, um, that shows something's working all right,

426
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 1: the problem is going to be, you know, proof to me,

427
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:51,600
Speaker 1: how could we lose all the speakers? That that doesn't

428
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:55,359
Speaker 1: make any sense? Right, So, you know, do we have

429
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 1: any kind of a signal at the wiring of the speaker?

430
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:01,960
Speaker 1: Could we take can we take a regular old any

431
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:03,840
Speaker 1: kind of a speaker and plug it in there, jump

432
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 1: or wire across it and get sound from it. Well

433
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:09,399
Speaker 1: that's what I was gonna try, but before I started

434
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:12,880
Speaker 1: tearing door panels open. Yeah, you know, you know, give

435
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:15,320
Speaker 1: the reach out call to here and get your you know,

436
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 1: speakers are speakers. Power is power, ground is ground signals.

437
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:21,959
Speaker 1: Signal doesn't care what it's lightening up, right, you know,

438
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:24,320
Speaker 1: So let's go there. If if you can prove one

439
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:27,160
Speaker 1: or two speakers working and the ones in the door

440
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:29,280
Speaker 1: are not, then you've got bad speakers. If you can

441
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 1: prove they don't work with other speakers, guess what, you've

442
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:36,199
Speaker 1: probably got a radio issue. Provided you know, you've got

443
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 1: connection along the way, and maybe maybe we've got an

444
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:44,000
Speaker 1: output channel problem. So then the Junkyard factory radio. But

445
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:46,119
Speaker 1: that's great, but you plug it in and it's loft,

446
00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:47,840
Speaker 1: and you gotta take it to the factory so they

447
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:50,440
Speaker 1: have to program it right now. You know, if we're

448
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:52,440
Speaker 1: gonna if we're gonna change that radio, then you want

449
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 1: to think about you know, because I've changed a few

450
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:57,679
Speaker 1: radios in my lifetime, and you know, the factory radios

451
00:22:57,680 --> 00:22:59,800
Speaker 1: are nice, but nice, but as you say, they get

452
00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 1: xp bensive, and you know, you've got two choices. If

453
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 1: you can find a GM radio repair facility, and that's

454
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:10,359
Speaker 1: surely part of this puzzle. You know. It may be

455
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:12,240
Speaker 1: you've got to you've got to call him up and

456
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:14,240
Speaker 1: ask him. You can probably do an exchange online. It

457
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:17,919
Speaker 1: may be the hundred exchange routine or two hundred fifty

458
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:20,159
Speaker 1: bucks and they'll go through and repair what's got to

459
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:23,240
Speaker 1: be repaired, you know. The other the other option becomes,

460
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:25,520
Speaker 1: do you go to a place like um like crutch

461
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:27,919
Speaker 1: Field have you ever? Have you ever been to crutch

462
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 1: Field dot com, crutch Field c r U t h Field,

463
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 1: crutch Field dot com. They're located I think it's Maryland

464
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:39,479
Speaker 1: or Delaware. UM. Kind of a neat company. They've been

465
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:41,960
Speaker 1: around forever. UM. They will try to sell you in

466
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:44,800
Speaker 1: arm and a legs, so be careful, but in the

467
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 1: sense of, you know, know what you're buying, what you

468
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 1: want to get. But they are a very good company

469
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 1: in terms of what they put together. I butt but

470
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:54,000
Speaker 1: quite a few radios from them for different vehicles, family

471
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:56,639
Speaker 1: and customers. And you know, you could call them up

472
00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:59,479
Speaker 1: and say, hey, I've got an O seven Silverado. You know,

473
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:02,440
Speaker 1: I want to spend two d bucks. What do you got?

474
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 1: And you know they'll they'll tell you here's the radio

475
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:09,680
Speaker 1: that fits, here's the installation kit, here's the wiring harness

476
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:12,639
Speaker 1: adapter that plugs into the factory harness, that jumper across it.

477
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:17,520
Speaker 1: You're done. It's kind of neat, kind of neat. The

478
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:20,520
Speaker 1: one the one thing to think about. And every time

479
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:23,560
Speaker 1: I buy an aftermarket radio, I'm very careful the one thing,

480
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:25,920
Speaker 1: because I want to be sure, all right. I put

481
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:27,880
Speaker 1: a Kenwood in the plow truck a couple of years ago,

482
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:31,320
Speaker 1: and I actually I said, I want something with programmable

483
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:36,600
Speaker 1: push buttons, all right, because I'm still right right, I

484
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:38,880
Speaker 1: want you know, I want you know, one to three,

485
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:41,240
Speaker 1: four or five six. I don't want this nonsense where

486
00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:44,399
Speaker 1: they make one knob do everything on the dashboard. You know,

487
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:46,840
Speaker 1: forget about texting. Trying to control the radio while you're

488
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:50,400
Speaker 1: driving is an art form. Uh you know, uh so

489
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 1: you know, just just you might have to spend a

490
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:54,479
Speaker 1: little bit more to get the better features. But crutch

491
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 1: Field stuff does work, you know, So so so that's

492
00:24:58,320 --> 00:24:59,920
Speaker 1: a way to go, So you know, one way or

493
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:01,199
Speaker 1: year that you can kind of take it from that

494
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:06,000
Speaker 1: direction all right, sir, Oh yeah, I got one quick question. Um,

495
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:09,960
Speaker 1: this particular vehicle, it's got the five three intermediately I've

496
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:12,560
Speaker 1: had oil pil filters plug on me and go to

497
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:18,719
Speaker 1: buy pass. What's your oil change interval? Um? I do

498
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:21,920
Speaker 1: it anyway, it's tween three four thousand miles. Sometimes it

499
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:25,680
Speaker 1: stretches to five. And you've owned the truck since no, h, No,

500
00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:27,399
Speaker 1: I've had it. It's a No. Seven. I've had it

501
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:29,640
Speaker 1: four and a half years. What kind of filters are

502
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:33,360
Speaker 1: you using? I had been using some frames, and then

503
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:36,280
Speaker 1: I tried NAPAs and they all were doing it. So

504
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:37,960
Speaker 1: this last time that I put it on, which was

505
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,440
Speaker 1: only a couple of three weeks ago, I put a

506
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:43,840
Speaker 1: kN in which I guess has the um it's steel

507
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:49,080
Speaker 1: instead of the paper. Right, And well you don't know yet.

508
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:53,160
Speaker 1: There's always moisture under my oil cap winter, summer, spring

509
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:56,359
Speaker 1: and fall. Are you are you long trip? Short trip?

510
00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:00,479
Speaker 1: In time? Well, but I'm saying, do you you know

511
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:03,560
Speaker 1: what's your driving style? What's your Oh? Mine? I mean

512
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:06,840
Speaker 1: sometimes they're relatively sure. Sometimes there as much as you know,

513
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:09,840
Speaker 1: half an hour forty minutes. Sometimes you know, once in

514
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:12,320
Speaker 1: a blue moon, you take longer ones. You got a

515
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:15,000
Speaker 1: local o'reillyota parts or do you have an access Yeah,

516
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:17,560
Speaker 1: I would. I would stop in at your O'Reilly ooto

517
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:19,919
Speaker 1: parts and I would talk to them, tell them what

518
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:22,679
Speaker 1: you've got going on, what do they recommend or what

519
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:26,680
Speaker 1: would they recommend in the way of a crank case flush?

520
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:30,280
Speaker 1: And you know, the balance here is this is a

521
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 1: balancing act. We want something clustic enough to wipe the

522
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:38,360
Speaker 1: schmitz out, but not anything internal on the engine gaskets,

523
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:41,280
Speaker 1: bearing surfaces, et cetera. And you know you may have

524
00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:44,400
Speaker 1: to do an old fashioned crank case flush. The other thing,

525
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:46,280
Speaker 1: the other thing I would be aware of is is

526
00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:48,680
Speaker 1: the PCV valve on this truck working? Is the crank

527
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:51,120
Speaker 1: case vent? Okay? You know? And that's it. It's it's

528
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:53,280
Speaker 1: inside the valve cover. So you have to change the

529
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:56,360
Speaker 1: valve cover right well, And I'm not said I heard

530
00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:59,359
Speaker 1: them snap off on a five three? Isn't it in

531
00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:03,560
Speaker 1: the driver's i'd rear corner? Uh No, I believe I

532
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:07,120
Speaker 1: was told that it was in the inside the valve cover.

533
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:11,080
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm thinking of the older ones. Um uh, let's

534
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:14,520
Speaker 1: come from an actual chevallet mechanic, you know, maybe he's

535
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:17,920
Speaker 1: talking about the baffle inside. But listen, if it doesn't

536
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:19,879
Speaker 1: matter where it is, if it's if it's clogged or

537
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:23,600
Speaker 1: restricted and not venting properly, we still gotta go look

538
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:26,800
Speaker 1: at it. So you know, maybe we start with you know,

539
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:29,800
Speaker 1: you get out to Orelioto Parts, get some get some

540
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:33,280
Speaker 1: kind of a chemical flush, clean the crank case, and

541
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:36,359
Speaker 1: you know, if it continues, then we're gonna have to

542
00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:37,639
Speaker 1: pull the valve cover and take a look at the

543
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:41,160
Speaker 1: PCV the crank case ventilation system, make sure that's working properly,

544
00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:45,240
Speaker 1: because clogging the oil filter like that, that's not a

545
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:48,040
Speaker 1: good sign. That's you know, we're we're we're we're we're

546
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:51,200
Speaker 1: we're you know, the hearts starting to fail. We want

547
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:52,800
Speaker 1: to get to it before it has a heart attack,

548
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:56,840
Speaker 1: exactly exactly. So all right, all right, and hey, I

549
00:27:56,840 --> 00:28:00,640
Speaker 1: appreciate your time, and uh well it's been great talking.

Speaker 1: six zero nine nine zero zero. How can I help? Well,

563
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:51,520
Speaker 1: I'm a longtime listener and I got just ninety three

564
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:57,440
Speaker 1: Subaru Loyal and I've had it for about a year. Uh,

565
00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:01,239
Speaker 1: and now it's starting to uh. When I can take

566
00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:04,880
Speaker 1: off from a stop sign, it it hesitapes and sometimes

567
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:09,440
Speaker 1: dies on me. My only concern that I've I've had

568
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:13,000
Speaker 1: what it is when I change the fuel filter, which

569
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:15,600
Speaker 1: I do every six months. It's a lot of rust

570
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:19,680
Speaker 1: in there. Yeah, that's not a good sign. Um any

571
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 1: dashboard warning lights on? Well, the check engines light is on,

572
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:27,480
Speaker 1: and and of course there's nobody around and I live

573
00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:30,400
Speaker 1: out here and you know, middle of nowhere, and nobody

574
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:33,680
Speaker 1: can check it to see. And that was another question

575
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:35,960
Speaker 1: I was gonna have for you. Is your way to

576
00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:39,600
Speaker 1: manually check that yes there is? Um, Yes there is

577
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:43,120
Speaker 1: so let's let's let's go back first. Um, if there's

578
00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:46,320
Speaker 1: a lot of physical rust, you know in the filter,

579
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:50,440
Speaker 1: you know as as an assade, has the has the

580
00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 1: rust been there for as long as you've owned the car?

581
00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:54,120
Speaker 1: I guess I should say it like that or ask

582
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:57,680
Speaker 1: the question like that the past year, the first time

583
00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:00,320
Speaker 1: I changed the first time I changed the fuel, Phil Dier,

584
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:03,120
Speaker 1: I had rust. And then I've changed it three times

585
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:06,360
Speaker 1: and there's rust in there every time. You know, has

586
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:09,400
Speaker 1: the vehicle run good up to this point and now

587
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:13,360
Speaker 1: it's just starting to have its problem? Yes? Yes, I

588
00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:16,440
Speaker 1: mean it's just been in the past like two weeks.

589
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:19,040
Speaker 1: So when you when you cut, when you look in

590
00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 1: the fuel filter, when you say rust, are you cutting

591
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:24,080
Speaker 1: the filter open? Or are you pouring the fuel out

592
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:28,120
Speaker 1: of the filter? And rusty fuel comes out? I'm pouring

593
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:31,320
Speaker 1: it out of the filter. Uh, the next time you

594
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:35,640
Speaker 1: change the filter, cut it open? Metal metal filter? Right,

595
00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:40,640
Speaker 1: it's a metal case. Yeah, OK, yeah, maybe we can

596
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:42,240
Speaker 1: maybe we can take a hack. So on just cut

597
00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:46,320
Speaker 1: you know, is there what's what's is anything making its

598
00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:50,719
Speaker 1: way through the filter? Right? Is it is? All the sediment?

599
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:53,920
Speaker 1: Is all the sediment and contaminant on this side of

600
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:56,200
Speaker 1: the filter or is it actually working its way through

601
00:30:56,720 --> 00:31:00,520
Speaker 1: the media and it's now going forward. And now we've

602
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:02,240
Speaker 1: got to think, you know, do we have an injector

603
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:06,600
Speaker 1: clog issue developing as well? Maybe unrelated to this problem

604
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:08,480
Speaker 1: that you're having now, but just something to think about.

605
00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:11,479
Speaker 1: How's that filter getting loaded up with contaminant? You know?

606
00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:14,120
Speaker 1: Or you know it's a ninety three super Loyale. Was

607
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:17,240
Speaker 1: it sitting for a length of time before you got it?

608
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:20,240
Speaker 1: And and and that created the issue? Yeah, that's what

609
00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:23,640
Speaker 1: I because I think this has a metal go ahead

610
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:27,959
Speaker 1: for two years before and if I'm not mistaken, doesn't

611
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:29,760
Speaker 1: this have a metal fuel tank? This was back in

612
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:32,320
Speaker 1: the day when things were made out of metal, and

613
00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:39,280
Speaker 1: you know we yeah, so um, never a good sign. Um,

614
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:42,040
Speaker 1: I'll never forget the first Volvo I had my gosh,

615
00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:46,720
Speaker 1: it had to be an eight two Volvo station wagon. No,

616
00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:49,720
Speaker 1: it was older than that. And I had a performance

617
00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:52,080
Speaker 1: issue in my first fuel sample. I guess fuel is

618
00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:55,840
Speaker 1: not supposed to be brown, and I went oops, and uh,

619
00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:57,760
Speaker 1: it turned out that it had been sitting for a

620
00:31:57,760 --> 00:32:00,200
Speaker 1: couple of years and they let it sit empty, and

621
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:02,040
Speaker 1: then when they decided to start running it again because

622
00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:05,600
Speaker 1: Volvo has run forever. Yeah good and um they washed

623
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:07,200
Speaker 1: all the rust off the sides of the tank when

624
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:08,880
Speaker 1: they filled it up, and it took a while, but

625
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:11,080
Speaker 1: it permeated its way through the entire fuel system and

626
00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:14,320
Speaker 1: ruin the car. UM. I remember overhauling that fueld system

627
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:17,640
Speaker 1: thirty years ago. UM, so you know we've got to

628
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:19,200
Speaker 1: be weary of the fuel issue. But let's talk about

629
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:21,160
Speaker 1: the check engine light. There is a way to manually

630
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:24,200
Speaker 1: press codes. There's a there's a memory connector should be

631
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:27,720
Speaker 1: located underneath the steering column down on the right side. Um,

632
00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:29,920
Speaker 1: there's gonna be two halves that you've got to put together,

633
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:32,480
Speaker 1: if I remember right there, two black halves. But I

634
00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:35,640
Speaker 1: would tell you to get a wiring not a wiring diagram,

635
00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:38,360
Speaker 1: but some service information because there's a couple of connectors

636
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:41,080
Speaker 1: down there. Subar. It was kind of generous back in

637
00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:43,520
Speaker 1: the early nineties where they would give you different connectors

638
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:47,080
Speaker 1: to test different circuits. Um, I would I would get

639
00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:50,120
Speaker 1: a specific test procedure and you can manually count the

640
00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:52,600
Speaker 1: blinking lights. It's a little bit of a pain, and

641
00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:54,640
Speaker 1: just to see what sort of fold codes you can get.

642
00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:58,640
Speaker 1: That being said, the common things. One of the most

643
00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:02,120
Speaker 1: common things that's sort of Matt just your condition, James

644
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:05,520
Speaker 1: of failure is the e g R valve, all right.

645
00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:09,560
Speaker 1: They there were problems with the vents solenoid or the

646
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:13,480
Speaker 1: control solenoid where it would fail. Um typically if memory

647
00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:16,880
Speaker 1: serves me, rights stead of full code thirty four, and

648
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:19,080
Speaker 1: it would always apply and allow the e g R on,

649
00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:22,200
Speaker 1: which would make it hesitate and sometimes make it stall

650
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:24,680
Speaker 1: because the valve was staying open. And that's sort of

651
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:29,080
Speaker 1: what you've got, right, yeah, yeah, And so you just

652
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:33,120
Speaker 1: kind of like, ah that the early GMS where you

653
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:36,600
Speaker 1: could just stick a golf tea and the h and

654
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:40,200
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, let's see why not. Let's we can't

655
00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:44,840
Speaker 1: hurt anything. Listen, it's already broken. You can't break it worse, right,

656
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:47,760
Speaker 1: So let's you know, sometimes you gotta think like that,

657
00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:50,600
Speaker 1: you gotta take the leap of faith in the science project. Um,

658
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:52,280
Speaker 1: let's put a golf tee. I think that's why God

659
00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:54,760
Speaker 1: invented golf teas for GM cars and subarus with e

660
00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:57,240
Speaker 1: g R vlves. Um, but let's do that. Let's take

661
00:33:57,240 --> 00:33:58,840
Speaker 1: a look at the e g R. If we bypass

662
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:02,720
Speaker 1: it temporarily doesn't affect how the car runs. And you know,

663
00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:04,440
Speaker 1: at least you know where you've got to go, and

664
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:06,680
Speaker 1: you know then if you can scan codes, and let's

665
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:08,920
Speaker 1: just be mindful of the fuel. Keep me posted, James,

666
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:10,799
Speaker 1: I gotta go. I'm up against the clock and we'll

667
00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:12,919
Speaker 1: return right after this. I'm Rondinni in the car. Doctor.

668
00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:19,239
Speaker 1: Don't go away. Quick reminder, folks, welcome back, by the way,

669
00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:21,719
Speaker 1: Ronni in the car doctor right your service. Quick reminder.

670
00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:23,920
Speaker 1: We're getting ready for summer driving or you know, summer

671
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:28,160
Speaker 1: driving season has started. Let's you know, fluids, filters, oil service.

672
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:30,520
Speaker 1: It's new. It's got a lot of computers on it.

673
00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:32,920
Speaker 1: I get it. It doesn't need as much, but it

674
00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:35,520
Speaker 1: still needs something to make sure you get that car

675
00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:39,520
Speaker 1: looked at, tire pressure, tire condition. You know, things happen

676
00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:41,520
Speaker 1: out on the road, and uh, you know, the road

677
00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:44,879
Speaker 1: is a very unforgiving place. More information at carcare dot org.

678
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:47,000
Speaker 1: So just be aware that it's a time to get

679
00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:48,920
Speaker 1: the car in shape and ready to go before you

680
00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:51,320
Speaker 1: take it on the trip. Your homework this week. And

681
00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:54,160
Speaker 1: and I just on a little bit of a humorous side,

682
00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:57,600
Speaker 1: I've been watching chips lately all right, I've just I've

683
00:34:57,680 --> 00:34:59,759
Speaker 1: just Tony's got a comment. I can see it's coming on.

684
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:03,000
Speaker 1: He's okay with this. Um. Chips was a really great

685
00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:06,320
Speaker 1: TV show, all right, for the simple fact, forget about

686
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:08,919
Speaker 1: Paunch and John. Right, you're watching these two guys, these

687
00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:12,800
Speaker 1: these two California Highway patrolman on motorcycles. But the cars,

688
00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:15,719
Speaker 1: the cars were the stars and Chips. And if you

689
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:18,000
Speaker 1: watch it long enough, I've already noticed they've always got

690
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:20,480
Speaker 1: the same yellow Toyota pick up. They've always got the

691
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:23,759
Speaker 1: same tan sixty eight Chevy C ten pickup truck. They've

692
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:26,640
Speaker 1: always got the Volkswagen, the red and white Volkswagen minibus.

693
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:28,480
Speaker 1: I don't know if it ran through the whole series.

694
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:31,000
Speaker 1: It is a Volkswagen. The show was on five years. Um.

695
00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:33,720
Speaker 1: They've also got There was a really neat scene recently

696
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:35,520
Speaker 1: where they were pulled over on the side of the road.

697
00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:38,760
Speaker 1: They pulled over Jim Backus Mr Howell from Gilligan's Island

698
00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:41,440
Speaker 1: and John Baker got approached by a woman in the

699
00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:44,160
Speaker 1: sixty eight big block Camaro asking for directions. It was

700
00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:48,560
Speaker 1: absolutely hysterical. The cars were and are the stars. M Rondanadian,

701
00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:52,160
Speaker 1: the car Doctor reminding you the mechanics aren't expensive, they're priceless.

702
00:35:52,239 --> 00:36:02,040
Speaker 1: Let's see you, She as to supper
