5
00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:10,520

Speaker 1: is not gonna stop in its tracks. The Car Doctor.

00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:17,800
Speaker 1: If I think there's a place where I've got to

8
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:20,160
Speaker 1: contact of what I'm not supposed to get metal on

9
00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:23,160
Speaker 1: metal ers, I will actually start to paint the area,

Speaker 1: know I gotta start the conversation here today, and um

22
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 1: it always comes back to you know, I'm I'm a

23
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 1: victim of I am influenced by what I see and

24
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:16,839
Speaker 1: here out in the field each and every week. And

25
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 1: some weeks I think everybody's crazy. I don't understand why

26
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:22,680
Speaker 1: they don't trust mechanics. And then some weeks they hear

27
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 1: horror stories that says send chills up and down my spine.

28
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:31,760
Speaker 1: A friend of mine, Bobby's a local guy. He's um

29
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 1: in and out of some transmission shops lately. He uh,

30
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 1: he was at a long time shop for about twenty years,

31
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 1: and he's been moving around. He's looking for something else,

32
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 1: and we're all get like that. There's a little bit

33
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:43,320
Speaker 1: of wanderlust, I think and everybody and Bob has been

34
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 1: bouncing into and out of a couple of different trans

35
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 1: builders in the area, just looking for something different than

36
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 1: what he originally had. It's time, and he stopped by Friday.

37
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 1: He stopped by this week on his way home, just

38
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 1: to sit and talk. And I think he needed a

39
00:01:57,080 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 1: little therapy in terms of I could see he was

40
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 1: down and he just left his his his most recent job.

41
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 1: It was his second one in the past twelve months.

42
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:08,920
Speaker 1: And you know, still hasn't found that home to be,

43
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 1: and that's where a lot of guys in order to

44
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 1: repair where everybody's looking for a home, while guys in

45
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 1: order to repair no different. And I said, well, you know,

46
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:19,360
Speaker 1: what's the matter? What what? What didn't you like about

47
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 1: this place? And he said, ron, I never saw a

48
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 1: shop run so poorly, and you know, just the guy's

49
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 1: a liar, he's a thief. And I was like, wow, um,

50
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 1: you know, like pretty strong accusations, like what does he

51
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 1: do wrong? And he proceeded to lay it out, and

52
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 1: you know, I said, listen, you can look at it

53
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 1: this way, you can look at it that when he said, yeah,

54
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 1: how about this? How about whenever we rebuild a transmission,

55
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 1: he wants us to drain the old fluid out of

56
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 1: the transmission, save it, dump it in a tank, and

57
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 1: then when we put the new unit back in the car,

58
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 1: we're just gonna use the old fluid from anybody's car.

59
00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 1: And I said, well, I didn't know what quite to say.

60
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 1: I was just like, how can that be? How can

61
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 1: you just how can you reuse any fluid? How can

62
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:08,080
Speaker 1: you rease dirty fluid? How can you reach fluid? Reuse

63
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 1: fluid with metal in it? And he said yeah, That's

64
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 1: why I'm not working there anymore, he said, because I

65
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:15,839
Speaker 1: just didn't understand the answer to that question either. He goes,

66
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 1: I thought this guy was nuts, that it was just something.

67
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 1: It was a momentary thing, he says, But this went on.

68
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 1: He was there three weeks, he said, This went on

69
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 1: for three weeks. How could I deal with that? You know,

70
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 1: I've got to tell you that I really understand why

71
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 1: nobody trusts mechanics. The more I'm in this, the more

72
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 1: I look at this and the more I talk to

73
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 1: guys in this business, the more I understand why people

74
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 1: don't trust mechanics. Mechanics do it to themselves. I don't

75
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 1: understand how you can do that. I don't understand how

76
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 1: you can rebuild the transmission and put used oil back

77
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:51,119
Speaker 1: in it when somebody's paying you for fresh oil. You're

78
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 1: just a thief. And you know, this industry, this industry

79
00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 1: has to wake up because this isn't the kind of

80
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 1: thing we can be fooling or round with. We've really

81
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 1: got to make sure cars are safe when we take

82
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:04,839
Speaker 1: them out on the road, and we've gotta make sure

83
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 1: that we're giving people the most bang for the buck

84
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 1: that they can get because they're counting on them to

85
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 1: move about. You have no idea how big a piece

86
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 1: an Honoramobile plays and part of the American economy and

87
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 1: getting people around and uh nonsense like that. Wow. So um, anyway,

88
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:22,359
Speaker 1: I just wanted to let you know that I was

89
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 1: inundated with that this week and that kind of just

90
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 1: blew my mind. So, um, if you don't trust your mechanic,

91
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:29,920
Speaker 1: if you've got a shop that you're sort of skitterersh

92
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 1: about but you're not quite sure what it is, trust

93
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:36,159
Speaker 1: your gut and by all means, if um you've got

94
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:38,160
Speaker 1: a problem with your mechanic, give me a call eight

95
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 1: five five zero, because um, I'm a guy you can trust,

96
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:45,480
Speaker 1: have been doing this a while and them I've got

97
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,160
Speaker 1: no acts to grind. I'll help you get down to

98
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 1: the bottom of the problem and fix it. So that's

99

00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 1: is about fixing your card's all about, you know, is

106
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,359
Speaker 1: your mechanic ripping you off? And uh, I'm starting to

107
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,600
Speaker 1: wonder more and more like how this industry has survived

108
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:15,839
Speaker 1: to the point that it has it. Uh, it sure is. Um,

109
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 1: it's just filled with some amazing things. And some of

110
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 1: the things Bob told me, I just I can't even

111
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 1: repeat him on air. They were just so horrible in

112
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 1: terms of what guys do out there, and uh, just

113
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:27,480
Speaker 1: just not not a good situation. So always be mindful

114
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 1: of your mechanic. I was explaining to this we're talking

115
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 1: about at the Delhi this morning for breakfast, and I

116
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 1: was explaining this to Drew in the gang, and um,

117
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 1: you know, he said, what are you doing? He said,

118
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:39,920
Speaker 1: it's a trust thing. You've got to know the mechanic

119
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 1: like you know your doctor. That's really what it's all about.

120
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 1: Because what the mechanic does may not make sense to you.

121
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 1: You gotta judge it by the results, and you gotta

122
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 1: judge it by how it comes out on the other side.

123
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 1: The trans shop that Bob just left, the guy's got

124
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 1: a sixty comeback rate, and he seemed to think that

125
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:59,160
Speaker 1: that's okay. I'm not sure if I do I know

126
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:02,239
Speaker 1: I don't, but anyway, let's get over the phone lines. Harry,

127
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 1: who's up first here on the Car Doctor hot line

128
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,040
Speaker 1: this hour. By the way, let me introduce Fast Harry,

129
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 1: my wonderful executive producer, and he's jumping in here and

130
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 1: he's gonna tell us what's going on, Harry? What do

131
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 1: you got? Well, Ron, we have James and Durant Iowa.

132
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 1: He's got a two thousand and thirteen GMC Terrain with

133
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:22,119
Speaker 1: a factory GPS. The dial keeps spinning. The dealer can't

134
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 1: fix it, so he's glad at least found you. Well good,

135
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 1: I'm glad he's here. Jim running any in the Car

136
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 1: doctor sir, how can I help you? Hi? Ron? Yeah,

137
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,479
Speaker 1: I'm having trouble with my rain. Um. It's been in

138
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 1: the dealer four time and it's getting ready to go

139
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 1: in a fifth time. Um. They just can't seem to

140
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:41,920
Speaker 1: diagnose it and fix it. They've done, oh, a couple

141
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 1: of resets, A Global Matters was the last one, and

142
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:47,720
Speaker 1: they did an update, but nothing seemed to be fixing it.

143
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:54,599
Speaker 1: It's just okay. So when they do this, James, you know,

144
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 1: is it is it in and out in a day

145
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 1: are they driving it, do they see the problem or

146
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:01,919
Speaker 1: is this, uh, you know, no problem found return to

147
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:07,719
Speaker 1: customer conversation. Sometimes it's because it's been in there a lot. Um.

148
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 1: We had the salesman drive and he says, this used

149
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 1: to be my vehicle, and he's like, it's not supposed

150
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 1: to be doing that. I mean, you can just see it.

151
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 1: It's just been it. But they've also said it's fixed

152
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 1: and here you go. And sometimes it does work for

153
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 1: a while, but it always ends up. Now, you know,

154
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 1: two questions. Have they talked to General Motors about this

155
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 1: that potentially there's other problems with other terrains and I

156
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 1: have not seen a lot of these caused this particular problem,

157
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 1: but maybe it's different in your region of the country.

158
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 1: And that's my first question. Have they talked about any

159
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 1: other vehicles coming in with this particular complaint. They said

160
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 1: they were going to talk to GM, but we haven't

161
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 1: got any confirmation that they have. Um. The last I

162
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 1: heard Friday, they said they're going to order a tool

163
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 1: so they can check the coax cable. They think there

164
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 1: might be a connection with the antenna. Well, and I

165
00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 1: you know, I don't fault that either. Just referenced this

166
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 1: bulletin to them, James, you got a pencil. UM. I

167
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:06,680
Speaker 1: believe it was document eight eighty. It usually starts out

168
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 1: as a p I, so it's p I zero eight

169
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 1: eight zero as an apple. UM, just a general conversation.

170
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 1: General motors put this bulletin out for it talks about

171
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 1: issues with voice recognition, root guidance, DVD playback, all sorts

172
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:23,239
Speaker 1: of problems that they were having with this particular system.

173
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 1: And this just isn't on yours. This was on the Encores,

174
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 1: the Camaros, the Malibu's terrains, on a lot of the vehicles,

175
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:32,439
Speaker 1: and it was sort of a um A step by

176
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 1: step what to do if this works, If this doesn't work,

177
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,560
Speaker 1: try this. If this doesn't work, try that type of

178
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 1: a bullet and it was in condensed form so it

179
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 1: was easier to read and understand. Perhaps the dealer tech

180
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:46,440
Speaker 1: can latch onto that. Naturally, I'm gonna say, I'm hoping

181
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,560
Speaker 1: they're doing a system scan, just looking to see if

182
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 1: there are any fault codes in this particular vehicle, because

183
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 1: fault codes will show up on a scanner, not necessarily

184
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:59,200
Speaker 1: on the dashboard. And then, last, but last, but not least,

185
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 1: you know is the vehicle under warranty, but it is.

186
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:05,679
Speaker 1: And the funny thing is it's I got less than

187
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:07,840
Speaker 1: five miles to go and then you know the thirty

188
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:09,720
Speaker 1: six thousand miles is up. We bought it, you know,

189
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 1: a nice used vehicle a couple of months ago, where

190
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 1: we kind of want to get this done right well

191
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:16,560
Speaker 1: and and keep in mind, and I would have this

192
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:21,679
Speaker 1: conversation with them that you know, you've been reporting this

193
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:24,560
Speaker 1: while it was under warranty, how does it work when

194
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:27,960
Speaker 1: the vehicle gets out of warranty, Because before it leaves warranty,

195
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 1: you want to make sure you have a clear understanding

196
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:35,440
Speaker 1: and you have all this documentation in writing before something

197
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 1: bad happens here. I'm really surprised four times nobody's made

198
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,559
Speaker 1: an attempt to contact General Motors before this. I will

199
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 1: put some heat on the manufacturer. I would put some

200
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 1: heat on the dealership and perhaps consider finding a different

201
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 1: dealership if you have that option to take it to.

202
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 1: That's one of my questions. I was also gonna ask

203
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:56,200
Speaker 1: you if I actually call GM like a customer service

204
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:59,320
Speaker 1: and you know, side step the dealer, because maybe I

205
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 1: should go that. You know, the only problem with that

206
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 1: is it's sort of the um, it's the slap in

207
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:08,680
Speaker 1: the face to the dealer. How are they treating you

208
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 1: with the dealership but they've beating you up? Or they

209
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 1: really making an honest effort. It's hard to tell, you know,

210
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:16,440
Speaker 1: I don't think they're trying to beat us up. But

211
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 1: then again, we just get you know. One of the

212
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 1: complaints was it was our iPhone. Well, what's your iPhone?

213
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 1: Taus of the interface? You need to go to your

214
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 1: provider or your cell phone, or like, I don't think

215
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:29,960
Speaker 1: they can fix our car, like they laugh at it. Right, Yeah,

216
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 1: I think I think I think that's uh, I think

217
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 1: that's really that's an excuse. Uh, you know what it's.

218
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 1: It's let's take some let's take a firm stand. Let's

219
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:40,440
Speaker 1: go back to the dealer. Let's go back to the

220
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 1: service writer. Let's take the position of, Hey, you've had

221
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:46,559
Speaker 1: the car three times, four times, whatever it's been, nothing's

222
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 1: gotten resolved. The vehicles under warranty. I bet if the

223
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 1: check hadn't cleared, you would have been happy to help me.

224
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 1: Eat you fix it, or I'm gonna have to go

225
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 1: talk to the manufacturer or go talk to the uh,

226
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 1: you know, I'm gonna have to go get a different

227
00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 1: deal or whatever you've got to do to turn the

228
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 1: heat up. At that point, they've got to want to

229
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:03,199
Speaker 1: fix the car, James, all right, I don't care what

230
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 1: it is. They've got to want to fix the car.

231
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:07,319
Speaker 1: And if they don't want to fix the car, then

232
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 1: they're just wasting your time. And there's and obviously they

233
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 1: don't value time because that's what they think they've got

234
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 1: plenty of and just goofing off. So um, I would

235
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:16,319
Speaker 1: take whatever steps you have to, but I would take

236
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 1: the bull by the horns, show him this document and

237
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:20,840
Speaker 1: let's see where they go from there. All right, sir,

238
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:24,440
Speaker 1: all right, you're very welcome. James, stay in touch, and

239
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:26,600
Speaker 1: uh let's hope that things work out for the best.

00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 1: to fast Harry. Harry, who do we have next up

251

Speaker 1: on the Car doctor Hotline? Hey? Ron, Uh, Now we

252
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 1: have Butch from Gaylesville, Wisconsin. It's got a two thousand,

253
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:28,840
Speaker 1: three four to escape. It's got melted E g R valve.

254
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:31,200
Speaker 1: But the real issue is his wife is on his case.

255
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 1: It's the wife's car. All right, Let's see if we

256
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:36,960
Speaker 1: can do a little uh, create some marital harmony here

257
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:38,439
Speaker 1: and to help put you out put Welcome to the

258
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 1: Car doctor, sir. What's going on? Hello? We've got two

259
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 1: six in right and of the R and uh pressure

260
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:54,319
Speaker 1: feedback right, the DPFE the pressure feedback transducer. Sure and

261
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:56,720
Speaker 1: put it on the cold replace it. And we got

262
00:12:56,840 --> 00:13:00,080
Speaker 1: a three or three which is just a misfired it.

263
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 1: So I want a new plugs, new wires, new coils

264
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 1: on and and it melded the pressure feedback. Okay, here's

265
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:15,280
Speaker 1: what you need to do. Here's the fix. If you

266
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:19,680
Speaker 1: look at that dpf E, that dpf E sensor, there's

267
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 1: gonna be a high port hose or a pressure hose

268
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 1: that is there. There's a there's a feedback and there's

269
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:28,079
Speaker 1: a high port hose, you want to tap it. You

270
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:32,040
Speaker 1: want to tap a vacuum gauge into that, Okay, And

271
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:35,600
Speaker 1: when you tap the vacuum gauge into it, just do

272
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:37,959
Speaker 1: a brief wide open throttle, you know, hold one ft

273
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 1: on the brake and go wide open throttle. Watch the gauge.

274
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 1: You're reading back pressure of the exhaust. The back pressure

275
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 1: can't go over to p s I. If it goes

276
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 1: over to p s I, you've got a restricted exhaust system.

277
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 1: And that's what's melting the exhaust, the e g R

278
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:54,720
Speaker 1: and the DPFC sensor itself. My guess is it's got

279
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 1: a partially melted or obstructed catalytic converter, which was very

280
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:03,079
Speaker 1: very common on these cars all right. Now, the fact now,

281
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 1: the fact that it's got a it reported a misfire fault.

282
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 1: But you know, it could be that the misfire damaged

283
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:12,840
Speaker 1: the CAT, which then took out the e g R.

284
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:16,600
Speaker 1: Or it could be that the restricted CAT is causing

285
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 1: a charge delution issue up in the cylinders and creating

286
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 1: a misfire that way. So first things first, if you

287
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 1: fix the CAT and then the e g R, if

288
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 1: that's what it is, you fix the cat, the e

289
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 1: g R and whatever melted. As long as there are

290
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 1: no other reported misfires, chances are you'll be okay because

291
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 1: you probably fixed it when you did plugs and wires.

292
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 1: But if you're still reporting misfires, you've got to diagnose

293
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 1: that that's going to be a secondary problem unto itself.

294
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 1: All right, sir, you're very welcome, sir. Good luck to you,

295
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 1: and uh we hope we keep the piece there in

296
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:51,600
Speaker 1: the household. M very important, So good luck to you.

297
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 1: But let's get over talk to John Banger mean, some

298
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 1: comments and questions about five speed transmission cars. John, you're

299
00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 1: on with the car doctor, sir, how can I help?

300
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 1: All right? Are just just curious your thoughts on five

301
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 1: Steed cars. They seemed to be going the way of

302
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 1: the dinosaur here. Yep, they sure are. And I think

303
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 1: I think that's partly because you know, people want to

304
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,120
Speaker 1: just get in a car and drive him. I don't

305
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 1: know that we're in as love with driving cars as

306
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 1: we once were. John Beyond, you know, just going to work,

307
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 1: and maybe it's because you know, maybe it's the economy.

308
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 1: It seems like everyone is struggling to survive today and

309
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 1: we're we're in the hustle and bustle and the running around,

310
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 1: and you know, there's no trips to churcha stand. You know,

311
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 1: when I was a kid, and we've talked about this

312
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 1: here on the show. Uh, you know, my dad, when

313
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 1: my dad was alive, he would throw the three of

314
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 1: us into the back of the sixty three Lincoln that

315
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 1: he had. My dad was an old Lincoln guy, and

316
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 1: this was the this was the mid sixties, um, mid

317
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 1: to late sixties before he passed, and it would be, uh,

318
00:15:58,080 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 1: where are we going, Dad, We're going to church stand,

319
00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 1: get in the car and let's go. Shut up. And

320
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 1: we would just go out for rides on Sunday and

321
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,800
Speaker 1: we'd end up in Pennsylvania looking at cows and farms

322
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 1: and you know, everything under the sun. And then we'd

323
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 1: come home and my mom would go, Harry, did you

324
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 1: get the milk? He was Harry too and be like, yeah,

325
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 1: of course we had gotten the milk from the corner store.

326
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 1: But um it did say Pennsylvania milk on it was

327
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 1: Pennsylvania milk, so we could say, yeah, we went to

328
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:24,400
Speaker 1: Pennsylvania to get fresh milk. And he wasn't lying, sort of,

329
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 1: but the point is we like driving then, and we

330
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 1: had the time to drive then, and you know, we

331
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:32,600
Speaker 1: were in a it was more of a romantic period

332
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 1: with cars. Now people get in the car and it's

333
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:36,440
Speaker 1: I gotta go, I gotta go, I gotta get here,

334
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 1: I gotta get there, I you know. And I think

335
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 1: the other part of this is I don't think people

336
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 1: want to go through the effort. They they you know,

337
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:46,880
Speaker 1: they want to just get in the car. They want

338
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:49,120
Speaker 1: the car to drive them. Look at where the trends are.

339
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:53,640
Speaker 1: I read this morning in the paper by maybe not

340
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 1: completely self driving cars, but you'll be able to hit

341
00:16:56,960 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 1: a button and the car will navigate the on amps

342
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:05,359
Speaker 1: and the off rams of highways and interstates. So people

343
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 1: just don't want to be you know, they want to

344
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 1: be driven. And that's sad because we're giving up of freedom.

345
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:14,200
Speaker 1: We're giving up the ability to go where we want,

346
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 1: when we want, how we want. And I don't think

347
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:21,679
Speaker 1: people are gonna realize what they had until it's too

348
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 1: late and it's gone. And I just you know the

349
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:28,119
Speaker 1: other thing about five speed cars is I think they

350
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 1: were good because it kept people coordinated. You know, you

351
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:34,199
Speaker 1: found out who could chew gum and walk at the

352
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:37,840
Speaker 1: same time. And uh sometimes sometimes not that easily, but

353
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 1: you found out, and you know, it taught people to

354
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:44,480
Speaker 1: be more aware. And we've automated the process of driving

355
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:48,960
Speaker 1: now to the point that you know, Uncle Steve said

356
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 1: it best when he was flying the P fifty one

357
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:55,760
Speaker 1: during the war, the single most important piece of a

358
00:17:55,920 --> 00:18:00,560
Speaker 1: of a pilot flying a P fifty one was his net, okay,

359
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:03,440
Speaker 1: because he said, while you were sitting there flying, you're

360
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:06,480
Speaker 1: always looking around. You're doing this, You're looking up, you're

361
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:09,720
Speaker 1: looking down, you're looking left, you're looking right. People don't

362
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:11,960
Speaker 1: look anymore. They don't need to. The car just about

363
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 1: drives itself. They're too busy talking on their phone or

364
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:17,119
Speaker 1: playing on their iPad, reading the newspaper. I saw somebody

365
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:20,120
Speaker 1: the other day reading a book, driving the car and

366
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 1: talking on the phone at the same time. I couldn't

367
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 1: believe it, you know. And and it's we're doing everything

368
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:31,240
Speaker 1: but driving the car today. And I think that's why

369
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 1: five speed cars are going away. As far as I'm concerned,

370
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:37,480
Speaker 1: if you can find a five speed car and you're

371
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 1: coordined enough to drive it, I almost think it should

372
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 1: be mandatory, because somewhere you wonder in a life and

373
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:46,560
Speaker 1: death situation. If someone's face with the task of they've

374
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 1: got to be able to drive a stick? Can they

375
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:52,400
Speaker 1: you wonder if they could? And UM, I just think

376
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:54,000
Speaker 1: it's that in the court, and I think everybody should

377
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:55,879
Speaker 1: learn how to drive a stick at some point or another.

378
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:58,399
Speaker 1: Ronanandy and the Car Doctor, we're back right after this.

379
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 1: Welcome back when I'm meeting the Car Doctor cruising along

380
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 1: the Saturday zero nine nine zero zero. That is the

381
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 1: Car Doctor seven number. You can call eight five five

382
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:28,639
Speaker 1: zero nine nine zero zero anytime day or night. This

383
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:31,639
Speaker 1: radio show is live Saturday afternoons to to four pm.

384
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:34,399
Speaker 1: If you call that number, leave a message our executive producer,

385
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:37,119
Speaker 1: Fast Harry. We'll call you back and get you in

386
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:38,879
Speaker 1: que and we can talk about your car problem up

387
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 1: here on air. A couple of questions today have come

388
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:44,359
Speaker 1: up with regard to vehicle maintenance and getting ready for

389
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:47,959
Speaker 1: winter and um older vehicles with low mileage on them,

390
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,920
Speaker 1: and we've been talking about a bunch of different options,

391
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:54,960
Speaker 1: uh this afternoon as we roll along, and I noticed

392
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:59,120
Speaker 1: that a lot of your questions obviously still center around

393
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:03,440
Speaker 1: oil and what types of oil and what brands and

394
00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:07,439
Speaker 1: what weights and you know, what can you do oil wise?

395
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:11,720
Speaker 1: I think if you're looking for the best protection for

396
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:14,920
Speaker 1: the vehicle, if the concern is you want to drive

397
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 1: the vehicle longer, and we are having this conversation at

398
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 1: the shop, I would be standing there telling you flat

399
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:25,440
Speaker 1: out nothing beats synthetics, all right. A synthetic motor oil

400
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:28,399
Speaker 1: is a better based stock oil. It is a better

401
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 1: base to build from, and it is better for the

402
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:34,720
Speaker 1: vehicle overall. And when you look at all the things

403
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:38,440
Speaker 1: that oil has to do today in an engine, it's

404
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:42,360
Speaker 1: so much more than just lubrication. It's involved in obviously

405
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:46,960
Speaker 1: lubrication and heat dissipation and preventing varnish and sludge build up,

406
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 1: but it's also responsible for activating valve train solenoids, variable

407
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:55,880
Speaker 1: valve timing, um, you know, changing camp staff position. They're

408
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:59,000
Speaker 1: doing all sorts of things with oil today that you

409
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:01,119
Speaker 1: don't want any of these opponents to get dirty. You

410
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:02,840
Speaker 1: don't want to have any issues, you don't want to

411
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:06,360
Speaker 1: have any failures. And it's just that important. And that's why,

412
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:07,960
Speaker 1: you know, when we talk about oil here on the

413
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,239
Speaker 1: Car Doctor, and we talk about the best we talk

414
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 1: about Pen's oil and not to make this the commercial,

415
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:17,760
Speaker 1: but we don't seem to talk enough about the fact

416
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:22,359
Speaker 1: that their brand of synthetic is the best on the

417
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:26,880
Speaker 1: market because they start from a pure based stock oil,

418
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:32,160
Speaker 1: their natural grass derivative, and that's where their synthetic oil

419
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:33,840
Speaker 1: comes from, and that's what makes it as good as

420
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:36,000
Speaker 1: it is. So for all the questions today that we're

421
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:38,640
Speaker 1: talking about synthetic motor oil, get out to motor oil

422
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:41,960
Speaker 1: Reimagined dot com and you'll see exactly what I'm talking about.

423
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 1: It's a very interesting, very interesting thing to read and

424
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:49,239
Speaker 1: and and be discussed with UH as far as how

425
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:51,720
Speaker 1: it works and what it does, and um, just due

426
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 1: diligence in terms of homework. Quick piece of email, Hey Ron,

427
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:56,320
Speaker 1: where did it go? I'm in the market for a

428
00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:58,800
Speaker 1: new vehicle next year. Here it is. I'm looking at

429
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:02,480
Speaker 1: the Explorer, high Lander, Durango, and Traverse. I wanted your thoughts,

430
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:06,120
Speaker 1: pros and cons on these pis. Thanks John PS Goober says, Hey,

431
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:08,800
Speaker 1: well I know this. This is John from South Carolina.

432
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:12,600
Speaker 1: He um longtime Listener's actually from New Jersey and he

433
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:16,280
Speaker 1: moved down to South Carolina listens to us down there. Um,

434
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:18,440
Speaker 1: that's right. I think his mechanics name is Goober. I

435
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:20,159
Speaker 1: think there was a Gooper, but I guess there is.

436
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:23,120
Speaker 1: Let's see what's John talking about here, Explorer. We'll save

437
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 1: that for the end. Highlander, Toyota Highlander, nice vehicle. Um,

438
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:29,240
Speaker 1: not much bad you can say about a Toyota. Um,

439
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:31,840
Speaker 1: you know, one of the positives or one of the

440
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:34,080
Speaker 1: things that they're really stellarat. I should say it like

441
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:39,919
Speaker 1: that is Toyota has the ability to share service information

442
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 1: very easily and freely with independent repair shops. Hey, if

443
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 1: I've got a stake in this and you're gonna ask

444
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:47,280
Speaker 1: me what kind of car to buy, sure, I'm gonna

445
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 1: tell you to buy something I can fix if I'm

446
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:52,720
Speaker 1: your mechanic, And if anybody out there has a concern with,

447
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:55,240
Speaker 1: you know, bringing their car to an independent repair shop,

448
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:57,560
Speaker 1: Toyota is one of those cars that they make it

449
00:22:57,600 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 1: pretty easy to get information and be able to do

450
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:02,399
Speaker 1: what they need to do, Unlike let's say some of

451
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:05,960
Speaker 1: the German car experiences that they lock up the information

452
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:09,040
Speaker 1: tighter than um, oh, I don't know, than the prisoners

453
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 1: at Dog thirteen. We'll say it like that. So, uh,

454
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:15,240
Speaker 1: you know, Toyota, good company, good vehicle. I think you

455
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:18,720
Speaker 1: have to fit the vehicle. That's important. Durrango. You asked

456
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 1: about a Durrango. Let me tell you my Durrango story.

457
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:25,240
Speaker 1: I've got a customer with a two thousand five Dodge Durrango.

458
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:29,480
Speaker 1: The shift lever cable or the shift selector cable has

459
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:33,440
Speaker 1: been on outer space Intergalactic National back order, never gonna

460
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:38,360
Speaker 1: see it since March. The last release date was November five.

461
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:41,240
Speaker 1: This past week, when I called and checked, it came

462
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 1: up called Chrysler. When we called Chrysler, no release date

463
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:48,400
Speaker 1: announced yet, So you know, and I'm not saying Chrysler

464
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:50,760
Speaker 1: is the only one that has this, but I noticed

465
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:55,159
Speaker 1: more and more with Chrysler that they're having parts issues.

466
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:57,840
Speaker 1: They don't seem to have the backlog like they once did.

467
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:00,720
Speaker 1: Is it something with Fiat and the keeping and they're

468
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:02,879
Speaker 1: trying to get older things off the books. I don't know,

469
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:05,160
Speaker 1: but I gotta tell you if I can't get parts

470
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 1: and I can't get information, Chrysler is the most expensive

471
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:12,280
Speaker 1: aftermarket scan tool in my opinion, It's like thirtys to

472
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:15,159
Speaker 1: have dealer level tool, and it renews every year at

473
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:19,159
Speaker 1: an annual rate of bucks. Too much. Moneys ridiculous. So

474
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:21,360
Speaker 1: unless you're in love with it, the wrang goes off

475
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:26,919
Speaker 1: the list. Chevy Traverse. Chevy Traverse, decent vehicle. Um, I

476
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 1: think it's you've got to fit it. Some service issues,

477
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:31,320
Speaker 1: a little tough to do an oil change on the

478
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 1: oil filters in a stupid place, for lack of a

479
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:36,679
Speaker 1: better way to put it, just not really technician friendly

480
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:40,119
Speaker 1: and general Motors still to this day they make a

481
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:42,480
Speaker 1: decent vehicle, but they also make one of those vehicles

482
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:44,159
Speaker 1: that you sit there and you wonder what was the

483
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 1: engineer thinking when he designed this, because obviously technician friendly

484
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:51,480
Speaker 1: wasn't exactly at the top of his list. Then you

485
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:55,160
Speaker 1: come to the Ford Explorer, Well, let's talk about this

486
00:24:55,800 --> 00:25:02,000
Speaker 1: for to makes service information very easy and fairly affordable

487
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:04,960
Speaker 1: for the repair shop technician. Now, if you're gonna be

488
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:07,480
Speaker 1: a dealer customer and you don't care a great you

489
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:10,000
Speaker 1: know what, by whatever you want, it doesn't matter. But

490
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:13,920
Speaker 1: if you're looking to continue your relationship with your independent

491
00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:16,840
Speaker 1: repair shop, you want to think about what it is

492
00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:18,919
Speaker 1: that you're buying because you're gonna have to bring it

493
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:20,320
Speaker 1: to them to get it fixed, and they've got a

494
00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:23,320
Speaker 1: struggle to get information even though yeah, it's out there

495
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 1: and the Right to Repair Act has done some wonderful things,

496
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:27,440
Speaker 1: but it's not as great as everybody makes it out

497
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:30,800
Speaker 1: to be. Um. You know, go look at and Explore.

498
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 1: From a mechanical perspective, I would say Explorer and Highlander

499
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:37,119
Speaker 1: are on par and even with each other, and the

500
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:42,560
Speaker 1: Traverse is probably gonna come up number three, the Dodge Durrango,

501
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 1: and if you can get parts and the parts haven't

502
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 1: fallen off of it by the time you get a

503
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:48,080
Speaker 1: chance to drive it, yeah, that's number four on the list.

504
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:49,680
Speaker 1: So John, if you're out there listening and you haven't

505
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:53,520
Speaker 1: fallen asleep yet to this answer this email question, UM,

506
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:56,879
Speaker 1: I would say, in the order that you wrote it, Explorer, Highlander,

507
00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:59,679
Speaker 1: I would take Traverse and then Durrangle. Go look at

508
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:02,680
Speaker 1: them all, go drive them all. Make sure they fit

509
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:05,600
Speaker 1: your need, because that's very, very important. Drove a brand

510
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:11,080
Speaker 1: new spanking Explorer the other day, real solid, real type vehicle,

511
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 1: and um, if I was out looking for a car

512
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 1: and that was one of the ones. The conversation would

513
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:18,000
Speaker 1: have been over two minutes ago, which for those of

514
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:19,879
Speaker 1: you have been listening since the beginning of this segment,

515
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:21,520
Speaker 1: maybe that would have been a better answer for you.

516
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:25,840
Speaker 1: I'm not really quite sure. Zero nine zero zero. I'll

517
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:28,639
Speaker 1: running in the car doctor and I'll return right after this.

518
00:26:47,280 --> 00:27:03,480
Speaker 1: Each was bad and that was Hey, welcome back an

519
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:05,200
Speaker 1: in the Indian Car Doctor here at eight five five

520
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 1: zero nine nine zero zero the car Doctor seven number.

521
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:11,400
Speaker 1: Let's get on over to the phone. Let's go talk

522
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:14,720
Speaker 1: to Rick in Connecticut. Oh, Rick's not there. Oh we

523
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:16,880
Speaker 1: lost Rick. Okay, well here listen. I know what Rick's

524
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:18,880
Speaker 1: question was. Rick had a question about an OH six

525
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:22,399
Speaker 1: Dodge Durango that had a charging system issue. And his question,

526
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:24,879
Speaker 1: and Harry typed out for me, was why does the

527
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:27,399
Speaker 1: charging system have to go through the onboard computer? Why

528
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:29,800
Speaker 1: do they have to make things more complicated? Rick, I'll

529
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:31,480
Speaker 1: tell you what. If you're out there and you're still listening,

530
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:33,800
Speaker 1: his phone dropped out. I'm sorry, we lost you. UM

531
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:39,760
Speaker 1: understand this. In an attempt to make vehicles more compact

532
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:42,880
Speaker 1: and you know, less parts, the more they can get

533
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:46,600
Speaker 1: electronics to do, the better for them. They they it's

534
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:50,080
Speaker 1: it's cheaper to manufacturer electrical components over a longer haul

535
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:53,720
Speaker 1: than just to make individualized voltage regulators and covers and

536
00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:57,480
Speaker 1: mounting screws and wiring, harness, less wiring, less things, less

537
00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:01,560
Speaker 1: things to go wrong, less connections. So as complicated as

538
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:06,679
Speaker 1: it becomes, it is easier to deal with over the

539
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:10,399
Speaker 1: long haul for the manufacturer. Gotta remember, the other factor

540
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:13,240
Speaker 1: becomes for every part they put on that new car,

541
00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:16,400
Speaker 1: they've got to hold that and build that in inventory,

542
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:21,080
Speaker 1: and they've got to store it for anywhere from five

543
00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 1: to six years. I think seven is the minimum. Now,

544
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:26,120
Speaker 1: actually I take that back, and we're seeing them keep

545
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:28,960
Speaker 1: some things longer and longer. Um. Funny, you call and

546
00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:32,240
Speaker 1: you write up. You ask about a Dodge Durrango two

547
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:34,520
Speaker 1: thousand five Durrango I can't get a shift cable for

548
00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:36,280
Speaker 1: and it's been on back order for months and months

549
00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 1: and months. So back to your question. They run the

550
00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:43,680
Speaker 1: charging system through the PCM because that gives them very

551
00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:47,400
Speaker 1: accurate control, and it also gives them the ability. You know,

552
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:50,920
Speaker 1: if they can control charging better, they can control load

553
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:53,719
Speaker 1: and drain on the engine, how the alternator is working,

554
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:58,120
Speaker 1: and that affects fuel economy and performance and helps control emissions.

555
00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:02,360
Speaker 1: The name of the game is emissions. They're always chasing

556
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:05,960
Speaker 1: emissions on vehicles. They don't really care about anything else,

557
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:08,760
Speaker 1: even though they might say that they do so, always

558
00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:11,479
Speaker 1: keep that in mind. How would I diagnose the charging

559
00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:15,400
Speaker 1: system fault? First thing I would do is obviously a

560
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:18,320
Speaker 1: vault meter to the battery vehicle running. What do I

561
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:20,760
Speaker 1: say if I don't have charging system voltage, if it's

562
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:22,960
Speaker 1: not over twelve and a half faults, if I'm not

563
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:27,360
Speaker 1: seeing fourteen too, something like that. First place I'm going

564
00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:30,360
Speaker 1: I'm gonna grab a scan tool, scan it for codes.

565
00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:33,400
Speaker 1: What sort of faults are in the computer there are

566
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:38,280
Speaker 1: issues with the charging system. It will set codes and

567
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:40,880
Speaker 1: will make diagnosis that much easier. I'm sorry we lost

568
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:43,000
Speaker 1: your call, Rick, but if you can't give us a

569
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:44,560
Speaker 1: call back and we can talk about a little bit

570
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:47,040
Speaker 1: deeper in depth, let's get on over the fault to

571
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 1: line one and talk to John Edison, New Jersey. Some

572
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:53,080
Speaker 1: questions about Wrangler. John, you're at the car doctor, sir,

573
00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 1: How can I help? Oh? Well, I've been trying to

574
00:29:56,080 --> 00:30:00,400
Speaker 1: track down a problem with cylinder one misfire anglard with

575
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:06,080
Speaker 1: a four oh engine? How many miles high mileage? And

576
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:09,960
Speaker 1: you're getting you're getting an intermittent cylinder one misfire. Yeah,

577
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:12,360
Speaker 1: it's a P three oh one code on the on

578
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:15,280
Speaker 1: the O D B two and uh, I've done some

579
00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:17,840
Speaker 1: part replacing based on other problems that I would have

580
00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 1: hope also would have fixed that. So I have a

581
00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:22,440
Speaker 1: new distributor in it because the other one the holes

582
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:25,280
Speaker 1: were stripped out on. So I also have done two

583
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:29,560
Speaker 1: caps and rotors, plugs, wires, I've had duel pumps. I'll

584
00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:33,680
Speaker 1: replace that. And I also I did find a previous

585
00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:37,200
Speaker 1: technical service bullets and about that engine with bad valve springs.

586
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:39,920
Speaker 1: So I'm not in the part replacing, but I took

587
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:42,160
Speaker 1: the chance and popped the valve cover off, did the

588
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:45,280
Speaker 1: spring replacement and the rocket replacement, and I still can't

589
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:47,040
Speaker 1: fix the problem right. And then then I'm sure you

590
00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:49,760
Speaker 1: saw the bolt and that talks about the number three

591
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:52,200
Speaker 1: injector and the heat shrink insulation they want you to

592
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:57,240
Speaker 1: put around the injector for fuel boil. That one actually well,

593
00:30:57,280 --> 00:30:58,920
Speaker 1: and I don't know that that's going to fix your

594
00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:01,200
Speaker 1: problem either. I can I can tell you the two

595
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:03,160
Speaker 1: extremes you can go to when one of these will

596
00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:05,480
Speaker 1: be the answer, all right, because it sounds like you've

597
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:08,600
Speaker 1: run through the normal drill. The first is if you

598
00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:14,560
Speaker 1: look at the injector wiring. You can change the driver

599
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:17,360
Speaker 1: so that let me think about this a minute. There

600
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:21,240
Speaker 1: is a way to flip the wires at the PCM

601
00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:25,240
Speaker 1: so that you will substitute the driver for injector one

602
00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:30,160
Speaker 1: to inject or for for example, and flip the other

603
00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:32,200
Speaker 1: one back to one so that you will be using

604
00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:35,920
Speaker 1: a different driver. So you'll determine is it the injector

605
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:38,640
Speaker 1: or is it is it PCM. If you get to

606
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:42,040
Speaker 1: that point, I can't tell you that the injector itself

607
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:45,880
Speaker 1: is good because I swapped at the cylinder to right.

608
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:47,880
Speaker 1: So so now the question is do we have an

609
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:51,360
Speaker 1: injector problem? Is the is the problem in the in

610
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:55,360
Speaker 1: the driver of the PCM or is it something else.

611
00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:58,920
Speaker 1: I can tell you where the problem probably is, and

612
00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:02,000
Speaker 1: you're not going to see it easily. It is it

613
00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:08,040
Speaker 1: is probably carbon on the exhaust valve. That's that's that's

614
00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:11,880
Speaker 1: what everybody misses. Let me finish. That's what everybody misses.

615
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:15,400
Speaker 1: And all the carbon cleanings in the world won't fix

616
00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:18,640
Speaker 1: that because the combustion process has already taken place, because

617
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:22,160
Speaker 1: obviously it's before the exhaust valve, right, So then what's

618
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:27,120
Speaker 1: the valve job before you go that route, fill the silk,

619
00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:30,360
Speaker 1: take the spark plug out, fill the cylinder with a

620
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:35,280
Speaker 1: decarbonizing material, okay, and you you want to try and

621
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:41,200
Speaker 1: fill that cylinder higher than the top of the exhaust valve.

622
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:43,640
Speaker 1: So you've got to bring the cylinder around, open the

623
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:47,400
Speaker 1: exhaust valve so that the material can get up around

624
00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:51,520
Speaker 1: the other side of the valve, okay, and let it

625
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:54,680
Speaker 1: soak for a while, and then and then pull the

626
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:56,720
Speaker 1: plug back out or pull out whatever you're using to

627
00:32:56,720 --> 00:33:00,160
Speaker 1: put the fluid in, and obviously crank the engine aroun down,

628
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:02,560
Speaker 1: blow the fluid out. You don't want to create hydrostatic

629
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:06,240
Speaker 1: lock issues, all right, and then run it. Is this

630
00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:09,640
Speaker 1: an intermittent problem? John? Is it? Like you know? Everyone

631
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:12,160
Speaker 1: one a while it was an intermittent problem that it

632
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:15,720
Speaker 1: would go away and uh, funny after the after it's

633
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:18,120
Speaker 1: SAP for a sapway three or four weeks because had

634
00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:20,040
Speaker 1: a framework rush from pair issue that I had to

635
00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:22,520
Speaker 1: take care of, so prepared the frame rail and drop

636
00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:24,640
Speaker 1: the back down and that it's been constant ever since then.

637
00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:27,680
Speaker 1: So is the cylinder missing hardcore all the time or

638
00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:31,320
Speaker 1: you just get the code? Uh, it's definitely running rough

639
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:34,680
Speaker 1: now at idle I did. As I accelerate up, it

640
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:36,880
Speaker 1: seems to smooth out, but that just might be because

641
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:41,880
Speaker 1: then you know, if if you can prove the injector

642
00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:44,960
Speaker 1: is doing its job and firing, and you know, if

643
00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:46,640
Speaker 1: it would be nice if you had access to a

644
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:48,720
Speaker 1: lapscope and you can just look at the firing line

645
00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:50,720
Speaker 1: of the injector. If you can prove that, then I

646
00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:53,600
Speaker 1: would chase things mechanical At this point, I wouldn't worry

647
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:55,840
Speaker 1: about a compression test. That would do things more along

648
00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:59,160
Speaker 1: the lines of a cylinder leakdown test. And if you

649
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:01,520
Speaker 1: find that the cylin the leakdown test fails, fill it

650
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:04,440
Speaker 1: up with their closed the valves. It fails a leakdown test,

651
00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:06,560
Speaker 1: I would chase it from the point of carbon on

652
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:09,560
Speaker 1: the exhaust valve. Nobody ever looks there. They always think

653
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:12,160
Speaker 1: carbon on the intake. Trust me, I've seen plenty of

654
00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:14,200
Speaker 1: the four rows. I've had more than a few in

655
00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:16,960
Speaker 1: my life, and um, you know you tend to see

656
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:19,640
Speaker 1: carbon build up on the exhaust valve. It won't close

657
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:22,680
Speaker 1: properly and it will create this condition and it'll drive

658
00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:25,160
Speaker 1: your nuts trying to find it. So go through that routine.

659
00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:27,560
Speaker 1: If you need more Ron at Car Doctor show dot com.

660
00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:31,080
Speaker 1: I'll do what I can for you. Zero nine zero.

661
00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:39,719
Speaker 1: The Car Doctor is coming back right after this. De

662
00:34:55,239 --> 00:35:03,160
Speaker 1: co by then right up, hey running any of the

663
00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:04,799
Speaker 1: car Doc can kind of wind them down this hour.

664
00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:07,879
Speaker 1: By the way, I should point out that, Um, if

665
00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:12,240
Speaker 1: you're thinking of me Monday night, I have to go somewhere.

666
00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:15,680
Speaker 1: Monday night, it's time I gotta go take my A

667
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:18,280
Speaker 1: s C S. I have to go back through certification again.

668
00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:20,880
Speaker 1: Now I don't have a lot of time, and my

669
00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:23,480
Speaker 1: research is coming up in six months. So I figured

670
00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:27,799
Speaker 1: rather than go take eight courses individually or eight tests individually,

671
00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:30,520
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna go take all eight at once. See

672
00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:32,960
Speaker 1: what the heck happens. How hard could it be? Um?

673
00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:35,399
Speaker 1: You know I tend to just walk in and walk out.

674
00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:37,319
Speaker 1: I go sit down for six hours, take the test,

675
00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:40,239
Speaker 1: and leave. Um. So I think of me Monday night,

676
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:44,399
Speaker 1: East Coast time, between the hours of four and midnight. Um,

677
00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:47,440
Speaker 1: I'll be there with my little pencil going A B C.

678
00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:49,440
Speaker 1: Now that guy is wrong. This is you know, And

679
00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:51,560
Speaker 1: I love the A s C test because it's always

680
00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:53,000
Speaker 1: you know, if the card does this, is that, this

681
00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:55,360
Speaker 1: this or this and my first question is who worked

682
00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:57,839
Speaker 1: on it, what kind of parts did they use? And

683
00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:00,040
Speaker 1: you know how much money are we trying not to

684
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:01,880
Speaker 1: spend in order to repair it properly? So I was

685
00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:03,799
Speaker 1: probably the wrong guy. If I ever wrote an A

686
00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:06,680
Speaker 1: s C test, you would probably have twenty seven multiple

687
00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:09,719
Speaker 1: choice answers with three paragraphs under each one because there

688
00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:12,440
Speaker 1: is no clear cut answer. Uh. You know it can

689
00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:15,279
Speaker 1: be is it problem A, B or C and you

690
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:18,240
Speaker 1: just to jaded. But anyway, um, and on that note,

691
00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:19,879
Speaker 1: I just want to point out I want to thank

692
00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:22,960
Speaker 1: the folks over at A C Delco. A C Delco

693
00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:27,399
Speaker 1: um has a pile of technician training. They have their

694
00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:31,399
Speaker 1: Technician Training Excellence program going on, and UM I did

695
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:33,440
Speaker 1: use it and it did help me brush up on

696
00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:36,200
Speaker 1: some of my test taking skills because it's not something

697
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:37,719
Speaker 1: we do every day in the repair shop. We're in

698
00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:40,160
Speaker 1: the real world. And UM, I want to point out

699
00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:42,719
Speaker 1: from my brother technicians out there, if they're interested in

700
00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:44,560
Speaker 1: they're taking their A s C s, get out to

701
00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:46,680
Speaker 1: A C Delco a C Delco dot com. I believe

702
00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:48,040
Speaker 1: it is. It could be more about their A s

703
00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:50,799
Speaker 1: C test taking program. But anyway, think of me and

704
00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:54,000
Speaker 1: until the next time I'm modinating the car. Doctor reminding

705
00:36:54,000 --> 00:37:01,960
Speaker 1: you the mechanics aren't expensive, they're priceless. See you. She

706
00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:03,880
Speaker 1: was standing super
