1
00:00:01,560 --> 00:00:03,120
Speaker 1: Ron and Anien. You know I come home at the

2
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:04,800
Speaker 1: end of the day and I always talked to about family.

3
00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:06,520
Speaker 1: You know, how is your day? And you know we

4
00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:08,959
Speaker 1: always have that conversation. That's really what I try to

5
00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:11,200
Speaker 1: convey to you here. You know, we always get these

6
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:12,760
Speaker 1: couple of minutes in the beginning with to show, to

7
00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:14,720
Speaker 1: talk and just kind of warm up the base, so

8
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 1: to speak. On the Car Doctor, if you're towing in

9
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 1: fifth gear, like towing two thousand pounds and my prematurely

10
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:37,159
Speaker 1: burn out the clutch on that vehicle, I think it

11
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:39,280
Speaker 1: depends on where and when. First of all, is the

12
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:41,960
Speaker 1: vehicle as it's set up radio to tow that two

13
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 1: thousand pounds. Welcome to the radio home of Ron and

14

Speaker 1: me during the week, and um, I think that's about it.

39
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 1: Get into the show today. Let's let's talk about this.

40
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 1: You know, I'm trying to start with emails. And my

41
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 1: conversation to Tom was Tom, get ahold of this guy?

42
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 1: He needs help? Because here's the email. Ron. Enjoy the show.

43
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 1: This comes us from Bread have a two thousand five

44
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:21,919
Speaker 1: Chrysler PT cruiser problems overheating, losing one oil court for

45
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 1: five miles, losing cool at one court per day. Worked

46
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 1: on water punk, timing, belt tension or belts, radiator housing,

47
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 1: radiator fan, radierr fans which is fan relay, thermostatic stant

48
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:34,639
Speaker 1: good choice radiator cap stant good choice valvecover, gas gets

49
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 1: spark plug bars, league head seal blown head, guys get

50
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 1: repair caseal changed oil after a thousand miles very thin

51
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:45,080
Speaker 1: had five W thirty change help stop the loss. Bottom

52
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 1: of the car has covered an oil and the radiator fluid.

53
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 1: Customers says he fills the engine cooling and by morning

54
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:51,799
Speaker 1: it has gone, but he does not know where it's

55
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 1: going because he parks and gravel. The guy bought it

56
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,800
Speaker 1: for a thousand dollars and he knows me. Well, talk

57
00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 1: about making a bad deal. Um, we were talking about

58
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 1: it's like, you know, Tom said, what are you gonna

59
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 1: What are you gonna do for The guy said, gee,

60
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 1: I'm not sure short of calling the tow truck and

61
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 1: just having it hold away. But you know the real

62
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:12,080
Speaker 1: conversation is how do you fix this? Well? I always

63
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 1: try to think of something if it was presented to

64
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 1: me at the shop. I've got a car here that's

65
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 1: it's losing oil and it's losing coolant or using it.

66
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 1: And you know, you've always got a baseline the patient, right,

67
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,080
Speaker 1: So the question here becomes and it's hard for me

68
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 1: to say without talking to him, but it sounds like

69
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,920
Speaker 1: they were thinking it was a head gasket, but maybe

70
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 1: an internal combustion loss. I would definitely want to just

71
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 1: you know, do the baseline it go for the stats

72
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 1: doesn't have a blown head gasket, how's compression in the motor?

73
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 1: How many of the leaks are external? How many of

74
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 1: the leaks or is the consumption issue coming from internally?

75
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 1: And you know, is that the issue? And regardless of

76
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 1: you know, the guy bought it for a thousand, sounds

77
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 1: like this is a mechanic and a repair shop or

78
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 1: somebody doing it on the side. You know, you still

79
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 1: got to come back to how do you attack it?

80
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 1: And you know, losing oil one corps, losing coolant one

81
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 1: corps per day, and there's oil leaking out the bottom.

82
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 1: There's a heavy oil leak here somewhere, And the only

83
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 1: way you're gonna diagnose it is if it's even worth diagnosing,

84
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 1: because I don't think anywhere in here it does he

85
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 1: say how many miles are on it? No, he doesn't.

86
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 1: You know, it's eleven years old. You know, if you're

87
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 1: gonna begin diagnosing it, you've got to wash everything down,

88
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 1: look for the oil leaks, find out where the oil

89
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 1: leak is. But the fact that it's going through coolant

90
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 1: and you don't necessarily see anything leaking, then we've got

91
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 1: to think about, yeah, do we have an internal combustion leak?

92
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 1: Do we have a head gasket problem? The bottom line

93
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:40,160
Speaker 1: really kind of becomes and we've all fallen into this

94
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 1: trap at one time or another. Is the way to

95
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 1: avoid this is due diligence and you know, laying the groundwork,

96
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 1: not jumping in. I've said it for years. You don't

97
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 1: get beat physically in this business. You get beat emotionally.

98
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:56,679
Speaker 1: It's when you make that mental mistake when you don't

99
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 1: remember to do something, or you haven't followed or a

100
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 1: stap published a diagnostic procedure. And far be it from

101
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 1: me to ignore the chance to talk about and get

102
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,160
Speaker 1: on my soapbox and reel about diagnostic procedure. When I

103
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,600
Speaker 1: get the moment I can imagine how this car got presented,

104
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 1: And that's what I tried to put myself in the

105
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 1: repair shops position. Hey, we've got this car. It's losing oil,

106
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 1: it's losing cooling, and I'm looking at this and the

107
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 1: repair shop through a pile of parts at it. Timing belt,

108
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 1: water pump, radiator, fan, radiator switches, relays, and the car

109
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 1: still overheats. Well, does it overheat because it's running out

110
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:34,160
Speaker 1: of coolant? Does it overheat because the cooling is being

111
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 1: superheated because it's got a combustion loss in the combustion chamber.

112
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:40,840
Speaker 1: How we're gonna fix this, How we're gonna diagnose it? Well,

113
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 1: I could talk about expensive, hard to do with fancy tools.

114
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 1: Let me tell you the basic combustion test. Start the

115
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:51,600
Speaker 1: car when it's cold, or when the car is cold,

116
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 1: go out there that morning, take the radiator cap off,

117
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 1: open the hood, stand away from the car. Well you

118
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:02,360
Speaker 1: can be sitting in the car. Crank the engine when

119
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 1: you start it does a geyser of coolant shoot out

120
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 1: the overflow of the radiator, looking like Old Faithful and

121
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:12,840
Speaker 1: Yellowstone National Park. And if it does well, then you've

122
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:15,279
Speaker 1: got a combustion loss. You've got a combustion leak into

123
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 1: the cooling system and it's pressurizing it, and that's where

124
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 1: your coolant is going. Now, that's not a telltale, be

125
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 1: all and end all type of way of doing it,

126
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 1: because there are cases where coolant leaks occur only when

127
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 1: the engine is warm. There's cases where coolant leaks into

128
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 1: the combustion chamber occurs over time. But for something like this,

129
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:36,599
Speaker 1: this thing sounds like it's hemorrhaging, like a beached whale

130
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:40,160
Speaker 1: stuck on the stand up in Cape Cod, and it's

131
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 1: got to be pretty obvious. If it passes that, then

132
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 1: what I would suggest you do is get the car

133
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 1: warmed up, do A do A. Once it's warm, do

134
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 1: a do the same test, but be carefully. You take

135
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 1: that radio cap off, let the car cool off a

136
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 1: little bit, and started up. You want to be wary

137
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 1: of taking the cap off hot. You want to make

138
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 1: sure it's you know, the upper hose is safe to touch,

139
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 1: and use a rag to just burp it a little bit,

140
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 1: Crank it. Does it? Does it? Guys are cooling out

141
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 1: of the radiator then, and if it doesn't, then pressurize

142
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,679
Speaker 1: the radiator, use it, use a cooling system pressure tester.

143
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 1: Does it hold pressure and if not, where does the

144
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 1: cooling go? If you don't see anything external, pull the

145
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 1: force park plugs out. Is there cooling in the cylinders?

146
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 1: If there is, while you've got your head gas at leak,

147
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 1: Now you know the fact that you put k seal

148
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 1: in there. kW seal in there, good stuff. If that's

149
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 1: not working, I don't think it has a head gasket,

150
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:34,920
Speaker 1: but I still got a diagnose it. And that's really

151
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 1: the bottom line. My point is you can get into

152
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 1: a problem real quick in this business. And I always

153
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:47,119
Speaker 1: feel bad for guys like this to get into this spot.

154
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 1: Been there, done that when I was younger. You always

155
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 1: make that mistake, or you always make a mistake that

156
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 1: gets you into this spot. Getting out of it's the

157
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 1: trick and sometimes and maybe that's the case here I

158
00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 1: can help, but think your first loss is your estivals.

159
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 1: Even though the guy ow unless somebody is willing to

160
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 1: get heavy into engine work, because that might be where

161
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 1: this is going. Um, it might be better just to

162
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 1: explain to the customer it's not worth fixing. Got a

163
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 1: baseline the car. Gotta find out where the oil is going,

164
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 1: gotta find out where the cooling is going. When you

165
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 1: fix the cooling problem. In all likelihood you will fix

166
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 1: the overheat issue, so just be mindful of that. So anyway,

167
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 1: we're gonna too, UM, we're gonna continue this hour, uh

168
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 1: from the previous hour. We were talking previous hour UM

169
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 1: with regard to technology in UM in the sense that

170
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 1: if if they had a device that plugged into the

171
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 1: O B D D port the scan tool connector under

172
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 1: the dash, and it would give you information about check

173
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 1: engine light when the vehicle's maintenances due, and oil changes

174
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 1: and batteries and things like that. We just spend twenty

175
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 1: five dollars a year to to to to own that

176
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 1: per vehicle. And I'm gonna ask you that question this hour.

177
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:57,560
Speaker 1: And UM, I have a few surprises along the way.

178
00:08:57,640 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 1: Let's pull over and take the pause, I think, and

179
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:01,559
Speaker 1: when we return we'll get right into it. We'll go

180
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:03,440
Speaker 1: down and talk to Paul and Virginia about is eighty

181
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 1: seven broncos too. I'm running any in the car Doctor,

182
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 1: stay tuned. We'll be back right after this. Ryan and Anien, Hey,

183
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:44,200
Speaker 1: welcome back, ran any of the car Doctor rolling along

184
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 1: this sturday zero nine zero zero. Let's get over and

185
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:49,960
Speaker 1: talk to Paul Virginia eighty seven, Bronco too, and some

186
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 1: issues with the blower motor. Paul, welcome back to the

187
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:56,199
Speaker 1: car doctors, sir, how can I help? Yes? Or how

188
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 1: are you doing? I'm doing good, I've got I've got.

189
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 1: It's prompt too and it's um if you if you

190
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 1: run the blower motor on the full speed, it tends

191
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:17,080
Speaker 1: to interfere with the operation of the engine. Uh. And

192
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 1: you know, the charges just seems to be fine until

193
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:25,440
Speaker 1: you put it on that full speed. Uh. It it

194
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:28,319
Speaker 1: puts out, you know, with the headlights on, radio on,

195
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:34,440
Speaker 1: everything on, it's still charging the battery. But when you

196
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:38,839
Speaker 1: go to that fourth speed, it drops down to like

197
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:43,400
Speaker 1: twelve and a half bolts. And even though that should

198
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:46,079
Speaker 1: be sufficient to keep the battery going twelve and a half,

199
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:51,319
Speaker 1: I would think it starts surging. And you know, if

200
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 1: if you're you know, that's an idol. If you were

201
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:58,719
Speaker 1: to actually be driving, it's um. It can cause it

202
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 1: to back and they can cause it to uh fucked

203
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 1: in even backfire sometimes. So how I'm wondering, how are

204
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 1: you well? I was gonna say, how are you measuring

205
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:12,200
Speaker 1: the voltage? What are you using to measure the voltage

206
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 1: of O d v O M. And I was also

207
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 1: checking the cooling with the d v O M. Um.

208
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:24,960
Speaker 1: You know you put you put the one lead to

209
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:29,080
Speaker 1: the negative posts on the battery positive post on battery

210
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 1: rather and then the other one into the cooling and uh,

211
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 1: I was actually, you know, if you're if you're under

212
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:39,680
Speaker 1: three tents of a vault, then your cool and should

213
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:44,960
Speaker 1: still be good. And I was actually, uh at like

214
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 1: point zero three, so I was like three, so the

215
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:53,080
Speaker 1: cool is good. Uh. And then exchangely enough, when you

216
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:58,200
Speaker 1: put the that fan the blower motor on the fourth speed,

217
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 1: it drops to zero? What what? What? What drops to zero?

218
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 1: Coolant the voltage while testing the cool Yeah, because uh,

219
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:13,440
Speaker 1: you know I understand that that's one of the things

220
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 1: that you go through the procede. You check each and

221
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:23,679
Speaker 1: every uh uh item uh individually um. And so I

222
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:27,079
Speaker 1: did that. Since I was doing this on my own,

223
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:29,959
Speaker 1: I couldn't check it with the power windows and all that,

224
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 1: but I was checking everything I could. Well, have you

225
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:38,720
Speaker 1: have you done a loaded ground test from the engine

226
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 1: block to the negative battery post at the case at

227
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:47,599
Speaker 1: the battery, Okay, from the block to the well, I

228
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 1: would just I would I would definitely, you know, you know,

229
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 1: check the check the ground connection at the battery. Check

230
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:55,680
Speaker 1: you know, do you have a similar reading? I would

231
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 1: voters drop across the engine block, put to put the

232
00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:00,320
Speaker 1: ground on the engine block. Isn't the same reading on

233
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 1: the engine block as it is at the battery. If

234
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 1: it's not, then do we have an issue with the

235
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 1: battery cable itself? And I would do that on both

236
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 1: the positive and the negative saw it, you know, I

237
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 1: would start to look at I would start to look

238
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:14,960
Speaker 1: at voltage drops across key components. Is something getting lost

239
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 1: somewhere in the shuffle, especially on something like this in seven? Um,

240
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:23,200
Speaker 1: there's there's there's another story behind this vehicle though, isn't there? Paul?

241
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:25,560
Speaker 1: I remember over the years we've talked about this truck.

242
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 1: Um was this I don't want to say it was

243
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 1: in a salvage yard. But something happened with this. Isn't

244
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 1: that I had gotten transmission the vehicles? Guys, right, it's

245
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:40,840
Speaker 1: got three and thousand miles on it, right? Yeah? I

246
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 1: remember this car? Yeah, this this car comes to money

247
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 1: I've got. I've switched over to synthetic motor oil, which

248
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:51,720
Speaker 1: is possibly to cause a little higher consumption of oil

249
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:57,559
Speaker 1: and after two thousand miles, I'm down perhaps as much

250
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 1: as a cup. Yeah, that's that doesn't bother me. The

251
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 1: engine is to touch. I'm talking about val covers, them

252
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:10,200
Speaker 1: in touch. You know, it's just my My thinking is

253
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:12,439
Speaker 1: I would start to look at and I understand the

254
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:14,840
Speaker 1: cooling test, I understand why you're doing that, but before

255
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:18,199
Speaker 1: we get that scientific, I would just really look at,

256
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 1: you know, key grounds ground between the engine block and

257
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 1: the negative battery cable positive cable connections into the vehicle.

258
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 1: And you know, I would also want to know why

259
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 1: is the charging system dropping the twelve and a half vaults? Uh?

260
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 1: You know that to me, that's not enough at idle,

261
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 1: It's it should be at least a half of all

262
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 1: higher in my mind, you know typically, Oh yeah, it's

263
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 1: it's actually uh, if you have it on on speed

264
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 1: three and even with the headlights on, it's cranking out

265
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 1: with their teen vaults. But when you go to that

266
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 1: full speed. So I'm I'm wondering, is is it the

267
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 1: switch on the blower motor or the blower motor itself well,

268
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 1: or is it is it that the higher amperage and

269
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 1: the higher voltage of the higher imperage requirement of the

270
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 1: fourth speed is now putting such a strain on the

271
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:09,960
Speaker 1: alternator that it doesn't allow it to maintain proper voltage.

272
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 1: Why don't you Why don't you try disconnecting? Why don't

273
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 1: you try disconnecting the blower and play with the switch.

274
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:22,800
Speaker 1: And I think what you're gonna see is without the

275
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 1: load of the blower, the alternator is gonna charge fine.

276
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 1: And my point is it's the load, not the blower

277
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 1: itself for that matter. Why don't you get do you

278
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 1: have a spare blower motor line around somewhere? Well, I've

279
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 1: got several vehicles, so I might have one that just

280
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 1: happens to once't you just once, you just why don't

281
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 1: you just make a blower set up or just put

282
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 1: some other type of high ampers lower right, Just put

283
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 1: across the battery, right, put across the battery, Take a

284
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 1: take a take a high beam headlight and put it

285
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 1: across the battery and see where the charging system voltage goes.

286
00:15:56,800 --> 00:16:00,760
Speaker 1: And I've got several fords, so the connector would probably work.

287
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:05,000
Speaker 1: You just you just connect electrically, and I'm just spend

288
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 1: you know, just sitting on the bench, right I'm just

289
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:09,840
Speaker 1: thinking that what you're gonna see is I think you're

290
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 1: going to see that the additional electrical load, regardless of

291
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 1: what the component is, is going to pull that charging

292
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 1: system down too low. And I think that's going to

293
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 1: be a case that the problems in the charging system

294
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 1: that it's not maintaining minimum spec. How old is the alternator? Well,

295
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 1: the alternator because of all this, I had about a

296
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:33,560
Speaker 1: year ago, I had I took the alternator out and

297
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 1: I brought it to a shop, which that's that's their specialty.

298
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 1: They do alternators, generators and uh and staters their work.

299
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:48,960
Speaker 1: And so anyway, I had them put brushes in it,

300
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 1: and I think they also replace diode and you know,

301
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 1: I mean it was it was actually doing okay. Uh

302
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 1: you know, they tested it and some well it's it's

303
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:04,920
Speaker 1: you know, it's like it's closed, but it's still like passing.

304
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 1: But I took this, you know, I took it out

305
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 1: and I had the bench tested and yeah, it's kind

306
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 1: of on the edge. So they replaced some you know,

307
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 1: some components and yeah, I mean I'm I'm thinking, I mean,

308
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 1: I'm sure they're gonna have a minimum spec at IDLE

309
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 1: what they want to see that charging system. And I'm

310
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 1: thinking it's gonna be around eight the thirteen vaults and

311
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:30,199
Speaker 1: right now you're until you until you go to that

312
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:35,120
Speaker 1: fourth speed under under then and then it's drops down

313
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:37,760
Speaker 1: to like twelve and a half. Does that affect the

314
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 1: blower operation at all? Well, the blowers still working with

315
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:49,720
Speaker 1: that um but you know, and I guess I could

316
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 1: get boy with with with the third speed. But when

317
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:56,800
Speaker 1: it gets to be uh when it gets down into

318
00:17:56,840 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 1: you know, like twenty degrees. Uh, wait, so it's twelve

319
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 1: and a half volts at idol? What if you raise

320
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:05,239
Speaker 1: the idol? What if you're driving down the road at

321
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:11,000
Speaker 1: thirty miles an hour? Where's the charging system? Oh? No,

322
00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:15,080
Speaker 1: there's a problem. There's a there's a problem here. There's

323
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 1: a problem with the charging system. Or there's a problem

324
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:20,879
Speaker 1: where the amperage demand exceeds the rated capacity of the alternator.

325
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:25,160
Speaker 1: Something is failing electrically here. There's a problem, all right,

326
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 1: And I realized that doesn't take Rocket Sciences to point

327
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 1: that out. But I would tell you to take that

328
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 1: alternator back and have them do a full load test

329
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 1: to see what kind of test results. And if they

330
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:37,640
Speaker 1: come back and say, yeah, the alternator will handle sixty

331
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:40,400
Speaker 1: two amps. Start adding up the components in the vehicle,

332
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:43,200
Speaker 1: whatever the number is. But it just sounds like you've

333
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:46,639
Speaker 1: got something that's not able to meet demand, as simple

334
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:48,440
Speaker 1: as that, and I would start there before I start

335
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:52,400
Speaker 1: getting too scientific looking at all the other possible extremities. Hey, Paul,

336
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:54,199
Speaker 1: stay on the line. Tom, I'm gonna get your information.

337

Speaker 1: We're gonna send you out a choice and one of

338
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 1: two car Doctor t shirts. And to help you a

339
00:18:57,760 --> 00:18:59,920
Speaker 1: longer day, I'm morenating the car Doctor to flee back

340
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:19,560
Speaker 1: right after this, Welcome back the car okwer rolling along

341
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:23,679
Speaker 1: at zero nine nine zero zero. And now we come

342
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 1: to that part in the show where I branch out.

343
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:29,560
Speaker 1: It becomes the Ron and Frank our and um, I

344
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 1: say that with love, because even though I've never met

345
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 1: this gentleman, he calls in and we always enjoy hearing

346
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 1: from him, and he's become a regular, he's becoming Look

347
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 1: at that, Frank, you're part of the show now, Frank

348
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:40,919
Speaker 1: from Congress, New York. How are you today, sir? How

349
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:43,320
Speaker 1: you doing, my friend? We're doing well, We're doing well.

350
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:46,159
Speaker 1: What's going on the beginning of the show, I couldn't

351
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:48,160
Speaker 1: believe it. I was with I was with a group

352
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:52,200
Speaker 1: of mechanics today and you have the boss and the

353
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:54,200
Speaker 1: box me right there. The mechanics are out to bake

354
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:57,479
Speaker 1: the Rogers working on heavy duty trucks. Heaverything from trucks

355
00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 1: town to part whatever, and that just say, ain't exact

356
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 1: conversation he had today about buying part. The head plus

357
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:08,800
Speaker 1: is living. I gotta he wants a certain part. Guy

358
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:11,920
Speaker 1: comes down, a salesman comes down and he goes, well, yeah,

359
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:13,639
Speaker 1: I got that, And the next thing he goes, wh

360
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 1: I got this part here from twenty or thirty dollars left,

361
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:19,080
Speaker 1: And of course everybody's trying to save money, but it

362
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:22,399
Speaker 1: ain't the part. It's not the one that you wanted.

363
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:27,440
Speaker 1: It's a cheaper brand and it just doesn't work. So

364
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 1: he this is what they lost? Story should it? When

365
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 1: next time that salesman comes down, he wants to lock

366
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 1: him in his office, have a word with him and

367
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:36,399
Speaker 1: have him not come back again, because that's not the

368
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:39,560
Speaker 1: way we do business. And you hit the nail on

369
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 1: the head. You know, I got an email this week, Frank,

370
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:44,520
Speaker 1: and I'm looking for it. I don't see it in

371
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:48,440
Speaker 1: front of me, but it talked about. It was from

372
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:51,840
Speaker 1: a it was from a caller, uh, from a listener

373
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:54,920
Speaker 1: and he um came in through a Yahoo account, so

374
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:57,120
Speaker 1: I'm not exactly sure, he said. And it was interesting.

375
00:20:57,119 --> 00:21:00,359
Speaker 1: He said, you know, I had it wrong with guards

376
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:03,760
Speaker 1: to the parts. About the liability factor. He said, It's

377
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:06,320
Speaker 1: not that people are trying to save money. It's just

378
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:09,679
Speaker 1: that a lot of repair shops are continually trying to

379
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 1: use cheap parts and the same amount of money, right,

380
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:22,920
Speaker 1: so that top rate. And I get that, and I think,

381
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:25,200
Speaker 1: and I get that. He's he's he's got to be.

382
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 1: He said, you know, Ron, you don't see it because

383
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:29,359
Speaker 1: you're always using good parts. Which, yeah, I understand that.

384
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:31,720
Speaker 1: I don't. You know, I live in the Burgen bubble.

385
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:33,359
Speaker 1: I just see the world and I and I tried.

386
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:35,240
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what one of the advantages. People say

387
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:37,280
Speaker 1: to me. You know, you're doing this radio show. It's

388
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:39,760
Speaker 1: been going on twenty six years. You know why? And

389
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:41,879
Speaker 1: I say, because every day I learned something outside of

390
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:44,280
Speaker 1: my bubble. I see something that I just had no.

391
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:47,480
Speaker 1: I was not cognizant of that. I just didn't realize.

392
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:52,119
Speaker 1: Um as a result of it, and it's it's my

393
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:54,479
Speaker 1: point is, you know, when I hear something like that

394
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 1: from him, when I hear this from you, it tells

395
00:21:56,640 --> 00:22:00,920
Speaker 1: me that we're in trouble. Would go exactly, we're going

396
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:03,800
Speaker 1: in a director, Yes, every time we turn around, who

397
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:08,719
Speaker 1: gets converden of it? Taxs pay us? Okay, I do, Okay,

398
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:11,480
Speaker 1: the kids, do you go to college? Another? Whatever? Kids?

399
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 1: You know, And I understand that, but it gets to

400
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 1: a point where as a consumer, they think, Okay, I'm

401
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:21,200
Speaker 1: gonna save thirty dollars on that part, but they really

402
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:23,600
Speaker 1: don't know that that part might not be the right

403
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:26,320
Speaker 1: fit for the car, shouldn't be in the car, and

404
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 1: that you're gonna get here for whatever out of it,

405
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 1: or as you were telling before, about doing meant in

406
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 1: a way for your own safety and your family safety.

407
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:38,159
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a it's a it's a it's a

408
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:42,080
Speaker 1: long it's sometimes. Yeah, Okay, I can understand you've got

409
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:44,879
Speaker 1: cheap insurance, you get the same insurance. Okay, fine, But

410
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:49,480
Speaker 1: when you're talking about your car, you're talking about yourself,

411
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:52,640
Speaker 1: your family and the person on the road. And that's

412
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:54,720
Speaker 1: what the deal is, and that's the deal, and it

413
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:57,680
Speaker 1: it also comes down to when you repair the car,

414
00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 1: it's got to make sense in the process and the procedure.

415
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:03,520
Speaker 1: We had a we had a car come in the

416
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:08,080
Speaker 1: shop this week, a a two thousand four Nissan three

417
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:12,240
Speaker 1: fifty young Man, first time in the car was brought

418
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:14,680
Speaker 1: in over from overseas. It was over in Puerto Rico.

419
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 1: The car was just brought here, uh and had a

420
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:20,119
Speaker 1: check engine light on. And it wasn't It wasn't a

421
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 1: terrible looking car. It wasn't exactly my cup of tea.

422
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:25,080
Speaker 1: I can't see myself in a little two seater like this,

423
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:28,439
Speaker 1: but it is what it is, fifty thou mile, you know,

424
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:31,920
Speaker 1: clean car. But the check engine light was on. Now

425
00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:36,520
Speaker 1: the fault was in the valve timing variable valve timing system.

426
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:39,879
Speaker 1: There was a fault with the driver's side, I'm sorry,

427
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 1: the passenger side valve time and control circuit. And I

428
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:47,960
Speaker 1: still don't know that I got the complete answer. There

429
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:51,359
Speaker 1: was some monkeying around going on. Somebody sanded down the

430
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:53,800
Speaker 1: old valve and they tried to make this work, and

431
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:56,040
Speaker 1: I couldn't get a clear answer whether or not the

432
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 1: check engine light was on before the car was put

433
00:23:58,040 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 1: on the boat and brought over here and it sat

434
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:01,879
Speaker 1: on the vote for a month, and you know it

435
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:04,160
Speaker 1: was a whole like here we go around and round

436
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:07,919
Speaker 1: the mulberry bush. But my point is, you know, you

437
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:10,879
Speaker 1: look at a car like that, and you know I

438
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:14,240
Speaker 1: couldn't imagine hanging Chinese parts on this car. Let me

439
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:17,040
Speaker 1: put let me put cheaper, Let me put cheap, unreliable

440
00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 1: parts on something that already has a problem. And you

441
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:25,119
Speaker 1: know how convoluted and twisted. Can I make this repair? Possibly?

442
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:28,320
Speaker 1: And in the end, in the end, common sense one

443
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:30,280
Speaker 1: at one the day because I convinced him, I said,

444
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:33,080
Speaker 1: the car is not worth fixing, because the fault can

445
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:37,800
Speaker 1: be worth of widgets, the three to three thousand dollars

446
00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:41,480
Speaker 1: worth of widgets. And it's it's twelve years old, and

447
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:44,520
Speaker 1: it's got fifty miles on it. And you know where

448
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 1: do you stop? Exactly exactly what I had. I couldn't

449
00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:51,159
Speaker 1: believe it. I just get on the car. You got it,

450
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:55,880
Speaker 1: You got the reading. I go, oh my god, yeah,

451
00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:59,200
Speaker 1: well you have a great weekend. Happy Halloween. And by

452
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:01,480
Speaker 1: the way, what do you well. I thought I'd go

453
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 1: out as a silly human being, but since I'm a mechanic,

454
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:06,320
Speaker 1: nobody would ever see me that one. Um, you know,

455
00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 1: I thought I would say, listen, aren't you gonna ask

456
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:09,800
Speaker 1: me for a T shirt? You can't. You already got

457
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:16,239
Speaker 1: too many. But I'm waiting. That's that's that's you know,

458
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:17,919
Speaker 1: there's an idea. But listen, here's what we're gonna do.

459
00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 1: We're gonna give the next call, or if there's another

460
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 1: call or this hour, we're gonna give the next call

461
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 1: or your T shirt. So we'll give it to them.

462
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:29,960
Speaker 1: We'll give it to them. We appreciate that. We appreciate that.

463
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 1: All right, that's the deal. All right, Frank, thanks for

Speaker 1: thank you, sir. Isn't it funny? You know, I and

466
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:44,400
Speaker 1: I hope, I really do. I really hope that we

467
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 1: generate conversations like this because I think it's important that

468
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:51,480
Speaker 1: repair shops UM are tuned in and they're they're locked

469
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:54,480
Speaker 1: into this and they hear about this, and it gets

470
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:58,240
Speaker 1: everybody to think and you know the impact of this

471
00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:02,040
Speaker 1: radio show that UM so grateful to have to be

472
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:04,120
Speaker 1: able to do and bring to you each and every week,

473
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:06,159
Speaker 1: and the fact that you're here with me and I

474
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:07,920
Speaker 1: and I say that you know not you know, I

475
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:09,399
Speaker 1: don't want to go to all hokey and stuff. But

476
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 1: you know that's that's really the truth. Um, I gotta

477
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:14,600
Speaker 1: I got an email. Oh it's gotta be a month

478
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:19,120
Speaker 1: ago now. A repair shop somewhere in Florida. They're working

479
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:22,360
Speaker 1: on a Chevy Malibu. I think they're putting a new

480
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 1: engine at a two point five leader Chevy four cylinder.

481
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:28,320
Speaker 1: But the problem was that came out of a Malibu

482
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:31,720
Speaker 1: with a different fuel system, so it was eight five

483
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 1: rated instead of flex fuel or some or vice aversa

484
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:37,280
Speaker 1: or some such thing. They needed a wiring diagram. They

485
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:39,679
Speaker 1: couldn't find one. I dug through the archives and I

486
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:41,960
Speaker 1: found a wiring diagram and I emailed the to them,

487
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:44,440
Speaker 1: and you know, two weeks went by, ten days went by,

488
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 1: and the guy wrote back and he said, Hey, I

489
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:47,920
Speaker 1: just want to let you know we got the car done. Um,

490
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:49,199
Speaker 1: I want to let you know that you know, we

491
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:51,199
Speaker 1: listened to you every week. We appreciate the show. We

492
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 1: appreciate what you're trying to do and educating the people,

493
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:55,920
Speaker 1: and more importantly, we appreciate the fact that you're trying

494
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:58,399
Speaker 1: to put mechanics in a good light. And you know

495
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:01,600
Speaker 1: that's really this show is about. I'm just trying to

496
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:03,639
Speaker 1: point out that, you know, it's not us against you,

497
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:06,680
Speaker 1: it's us trying to help you. The good ones. Yeah,

498
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:09,960
Speaker 1: there's bad shops out there, there's bad in old industries, um,

499
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:13,040
Speaker 1: you know. And there's there's just guys out there that

500
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:15,479
Speaker 1: go to work each and every day that are just

501
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 1: trying to help pay the rent and just trying to

502
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:21,080
Speaker 1: feed their families and just trying to make a living. Um.

503
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:23,040
Speaker 1: And it goes on all over the place. I just

504
00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:25,679
Speaker 1: sold one of the alignment machines. I just sold one

505
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:27,840
Speaker 1: of my alignment machines, and I put an ad on

506
00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:30,320
Speaker 1: one of the mechanics forums and a gentleman came down.

507
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:32,120
Speaker 1: Let me think if I can remember. He is about

508
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:35,040
Speaker 1: three hours away up by um was it Utica or

509
00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:39,679
Speaker 1: Utica New York and um Craig I think his name was.

510
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:44,119
Speaker 1: And we were talking and he's in small town USA,

511
00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 1: upstate New York, America. And you know, his stories are

512
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 1: the same as my stories, except my stories have higher

513
00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:53,600
Speaker 1: dollars attached to them because of the locale that I'm in.

514
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:55,920
Speaker 1: But same thing, trying to help people, trying to get

515
00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:58,359
Speaker 1: cars fixed, trying to avoid using cheap parts, trying to

516
00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:01,800
Speaker 1: deal with technology and it just shows you what this

517
00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:04,359
Speaker 1: industry really is. And that's all I try to make

518
00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 1: this radio show. When I make it, try to make

519
00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:10,000

Speaker 1: not lose. I just want to make you guys aware

533
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:22,240
Speaker 1: they won't lose because it's a bye week. I was right. Well,

534
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:24,160
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. I can predict, everything from what

535
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:27,240
Speaker 1: to repair to the football scores. So but they did

536
00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:30,040
Speaker 1: win in London. That was that was kind of an

537
00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:34,080
Speaker 1: interesting thing. Huh yeah. So they won and they came back.

538
00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:37,040
Speaker 1: So who are they gonna lose to next week? I

539
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:40,880
Speaker 1: think they played Philadelphia, so that's over. Um, And how

540
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:45,480
Speaker 1: the Jets doing? Next topic? Next topic? That's over? So

541
00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:48,240
Speaker 1: I just listen. I have to cover sports a little bit,

542
00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:50,200
Speaker 1: and everybody wants to hear me, you know, kind of

543
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:52,600
Speaker 1: do the home see that I was right though, I

544
00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:55,200
Speaker 1: predicted the Giants won't lose this week, which means we're

545
00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:57,600
Speaker 1: all in trouble. Um. I did find that email. I

546
00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:00,200
Speaker 1: wanted to just talk about this real quick. Um, Ron,

547
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:01,560
Speaker 1: you have it backwards. This comes to us from a

548
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:04,280
Speaker 1: Yahoo listeners. Mike, he's out on yah who you have

549
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:06,320
Speaker 1: a backwards? You're the rare exception where shop actually uses

550
00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:08,560
Speaker 1: quality parts. We bring our parts to the mechanics because

551
00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:10,720
Speaker 1: we want to make sure the part installed is not garbage.

552
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:14,200
Speaker 1: You know. And here's my conversation in my head, Mike,

553
00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:18,520
Speaker 1: if you think the shop is installing garbage parts, what's

554
00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:21,880
Speaker 1: the workmanship? Like? They always charge his top dollar for

555
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:23,800
Speaker 1: the parts. We figure, if we're going to pay so much,

556
00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:25,440
Speaker 1: we might as well get a good quality part, not

557
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:27,520
Speaker 1: the cheapest available, which is what you typically get from

558
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:30,280
Speaker 1: any repair shop. Again, if we don't trust them, to

559
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:32,720
Speaker 1: use a good part, then why are we You know,

560
00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:36,600
Speaker 1: It's like I can't go to the diner just because

561
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:38,240
Speaker 1: the if the guy. Listen, If I go to the

562
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:40,840
Speaker 1: diner and the guy uses bad eggs and doesn't know

563
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:42,840
Speaker 1: how to cook them, I just don't go there anymore.

564
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:46,560
Speaker 1: It's a two part process. But um, I appreciate that thought.

565
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:48,560
Speaker 1: This is why I read this because Mike also had

566
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:50,200
Speaker 1: a heath the nail on the head with this one too.

567
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 1: Can't wait for driverless vehicles. How much safer the roads

568
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:55,800
Speaker 1: will be, and certainly the flow of traffic will be

569
00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 1: without all the reckless, incompetent drivers either high on drugs, alcohol,

570
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 1: texting to looking on their phones and daydreaming. Oh this

571
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:04,760
Speaker 1: guy must be from New Jersey. Uh, he must know everybody.

572
00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:07,160
Speaker 1: I see it. A green light, even with an occasional

573
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:10,000
Speaker 1: mechanical failure, will be so much safer to take a

574
00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:12,040
Speaker 1: driverless vehicle that it will be to get on the

575
00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:14,400
Speaker 1: road with all the reckless, incompetent people who could barely

576
00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:16,080
Speaker 1: figure out which is the break and the gas pedal.

577
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:19,280
Speaker 1: Sent from my iPhone Mike, Um, you know he's not wrong,

578
00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:22,800
Speaker 1: and I don't know it's gonna take me awhile to

579
00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:25,400
Speaker 1: get used to driverless vehicles in terms of actually being

580
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:31,480
Speaker 1: feeling comfortable sitting in there. But you know, you look

581
00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:35,880
Speaker 1: at the computer's ability and how many times the computers right?

582
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:39,960
Speaker 1: And the I mean, the mistakes we've seen with driverless

583
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:42,600
Speaker 1: cars is when I don't think, has anybody have we

584
00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:46,880
Speaker 1: had an accident where a driverless car has created the

585
00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:49,880
Speaker 1: accident we've had it where people everyone into the driverless car.

586
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:55,280
Speaker 1: Once again, people the key element. So you know, maybe

587
00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:58,880
Speaker 1: as human beings and here's that emotional element, right, maybe

588
00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:01,320
Speaker 1: as human beings were roll just we want to be

589
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:04,720
Speaker 1: in control. It makes us feel safe. I mean, listen,

590
00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:07,600
Speaker 1: this is like the argument about are you better off

591
00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:12,720
Speaker 1: driving to Florida or taking a plane. And while we

592
00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:18,680
Speaker 1: all recognize that per miles driven, flying is infinitely safer

593
00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:23,640
Speaker 1: than driving, how many people show a hands mind's up, right,

594
00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:26,320
Speaker 1: mind's up. I feel better driving the car because I'm

595
00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:30,360
Speaker 1: the guy in control. I feel better you know, stopping starting, listen.

596
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:32,880
Speaker 1: I don't like it when my kids drive me around

597
00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:36,440
Speaker 1: and I get nervous. It's it's that control thing. And

598
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:39,840
Speaker 1: I think that's I think that's the button driverless cars hit.

599
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:43,680
Speaker 1: I think that's the problem. That's what they create, uh

600
00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:45,760
Speaker 1: to us. They kind of hit us in uh in

601
00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:48,000
Speaker 1: that sequence. So but anyway, let's pull over and take

602
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:51,640
Speaker 1: a pause. Zero run any of the Car Doctor coming

603
00:32:51,680 --> 00:33:18,840
Speaker 1: back right after this. Feel it's turning through. Welcome back,

604
00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:20,000

Speaker 1: Cold and Frank's Frank just loves listening to this radio show.

607
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:26,680
Speaker 1: I think we're gonna have to sell it to him

608
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:29,080
Speaker 1: when I retire this week and he can start with

609
00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:31,160
Speaker 1: the Frank the Car Doctor Show. Frank, I Love you baby.

610
00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:32,800
Speaker 1: Frank brings up a good point too. He says, if

611
00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:35,440
Speaker 1: you don't trust your mechanic, make sure to ask for

612
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:37,280
Speaker 1: the parts. And I think that's a that's a basic

613
00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:39,640
Speaker 1: but you know, and then again, some people listen. We

614
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:41,560
Speaker 1: had a young man in the shop this week that um,

615
00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:44,360
Speaker 1: we were fixing his tire, and you know, I showed

616
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:46,520
Speaker 1: him the puncture. Some people just you know the basics,

617
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:48,680
Speaker 1: and I get that. And I pulled the nail out

618
00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:50,640
Speaker 1: of the tire and he said, where's the air coming from?

619
00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:52,880
Speaker 1: Do you have a pump going trying to make that

620
00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:54,360
Speaker 1: air rush out? I said, no, no no, no, that's the

621
00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:57,080
Speaker 1: air and the tire. That's it's leaking, and you know

622
00:33:57,120 --> 00:33:58,920
Speaker 1: it's coming out, And then he kind of got it.

623
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:02,240
Speaker 1: So what's basic to you and me isn't so basic

624
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:04,760
Speaker 1: to everybody else. So it's just something to you know.

625
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:06,400
Speaker 1: So Frank makes a good point. If you're bringing it

626
00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:08,320
Speaker 1: to the mechanic, ask for the parts. This comes to

627
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:11,759
Speaker 1: us from Walt in Hawaii. I have to we'll find

628
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:13,200
Speaker 1: that video I was supposed to post for a Walt

629
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:14,520
Speaker 1: back at the beginning of the summer, because I know

630
00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:16,120
Speaker 1: I have and I just forgot to do it. I'm sorry,

631
00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:18,719
Speaker 1: Walter um what it wants me to talk about using

632
00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:22,120
Speaker 1: gasket sealer, gasket maker maker, silicon thread locker, and so

633
00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:24,680
Speaker 1: on and so forth. Walt from Maui. You know, well,

634
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:28,160
Speaker 1: there's a whole science to using gaskets and gasket sealer

635
00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:29,880
Speaker 1: and our TV and there's a whole bunch of different

636
00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:33,440
Speaker 1: ways to do it. Suffice it to say that ceiling

637
00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:36,960
Speaker 1: technology has changed drastically over the years, and it's changed

638
00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:41,120
Speaker 1: as much as the vehicles have have changed over the past,

639
00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:43,279
Speaker 1: you know, seven or eight years, ten years in terms

640
00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:47,120
Speaker 1: of technology. Old style cork gaskets and stamp steel valve covers.

641
00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:50,960
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a little bit of high tech and

642
00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:53,080
Speaker 1: um and and put it together. Make sure the edges

643
00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:56,319
Speaker 1: are are reasonably straight and square, and you're not gonna

644
00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:59,600
Speaker 1: have any problems, you know, if you're using a shim

645
00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:03,040
Speaker 1: stuf Aisle valve cover gasket for conversations sake, I'm picking

646
00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:05,080
Speaker 1: on valve cover gaskets today. A shim style would be

647
00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:08,040
Speaker 1: a flat piece of steel with rubber embossed on it.

648
00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:12,600
Speaker 1: If the edges are true, if everything is correct as

649
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:15,360
Speaker 1: it was machine, you don't need to use any ceilant

650
00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:19,480
Speaker 1: on it. So I tend not to. When you're doing

651
00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:22,919
Speaker 1: a thermostat and you're using a paper gasket like many

652
00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:26,960
Speaker 1: thermostat outlets are, it's going to be clean both sides.

653
00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:31,960
Speaker 1: A schmere a schmeir, all right, which is a little

654
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:34,840
Speaker 1: bit less than a goop, all right, of our TV

655
00:35:35,239 --> 00:35:37,000
Speaker 1: spread around the gasket just dind have to give it

656
00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:39,120
Speaker 1: a taste. But in a lot of cases I'll use

657
00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:41,960
Speaker 1: our TV in that application because the thermostat goes in

658
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:45,440
Speaker 1: the housing, the gasket goes on, and then you bolted up.

659
00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:48,040
Speaker 1: I'll use the RTV to hold the gasket to the

660
00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:50,640
Speaker 1: housing and it gives me a good ceiling edge. Now,

661
00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:54,040
Speaker 1: I could use any one of a half a dozen

662
00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:57,120
Speaker 1: contacts events um, and there's a couple of different ways

663
00:35:57,160 --> 00:35:58,560
Speaker 1: to do it. But the RTV in the case of

664
00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:01,400
Speaker 1: a thermostat, gives me a cling ability and that's what

665
00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:05,600
Speaker 1: I'm looking for. Here's the takeaway on cork. You want

666
00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:08,600
Speaker 1: to use a substance to help seal or tack up

667
00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:13,600
Speaker 1: that won't distort the cork once you compress the material

668
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:16,640
Speaker 1: against time and cover valve, cover gasket, oil pan, what

669
00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:20,759
Speaker 1: have you on a cover gasket that is, you know,

670
00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:27,240
Speaker 1: solid like a thermostat um you know, or other places

671
00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:29,960
Speaker 1: where you're going to be sealing something. If it's two

672
00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:33,279
Speaker 1: stamp steel covers with some rigidity, a little schmir of

673
00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:35,840
Speaker 1: RTV to help prevent seed isn't a bad idea On

674
00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:38,840
Speaker 1: a paper gasket, On a shim gasket with rubber and

675
00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:41,920
Speaker 1: boss on it, generally they go together dry because there

676
00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:45,040
Speaker 1: is no issue thread locker. Now, that's a whole other

677
00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:47,479
Speaker 1: conversation for another day. Not enough time. We'll talk about

678
00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:49,759
Speaker 1: that in the future. Until then, I'm on in the

679
00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:53,560
Speaker 1: car doctor, reminding you good mechanics aren't expensive, they're priceless.

680
00:36:53,800 --> 00:37:00,960
Speaker 1: See us S
