It's great to be here with all 17 00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:57,160 Speaker 2: of you. Busy week in the shop, busy week in 18 00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:59,000 Speaker 2: the shop, as all of you are preparing to get 19 00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,680 Speaker 2: away for fourth of July. I kept wanting to do 20 00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:04,400 Speaker 2: a reel this week up on Instagram, and I failed 21 00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:05,959 Speaker 2: to do it. We were just so busy we couldn't 22 00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,399 Speaker 2: get to it. And by now, well I guess it's 23 00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:09,959 Speaker 2: too late. You're already where you were supposed to be. 24 00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:13,120 Speaker 2: You're already where you're going, So you got there. I 25 00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:16,039 Speaker 2: want to point out though, that do you know where 26 00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:18,560 Speaker 2: your wheelock key is? And this one's for Andy. At 27 00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:20,440 Speaker 2: the gym, Andy was telling me the story about his 28 00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:24,880 Speaker 2: buddy who had a BMW that got a flat after 29 00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:26,920 Speaker 2: the car was in a pretty severe accent. Was a 30 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:30,679 Speaker 2: stolen recovery. Actually, I'm sorry. And you know, he got 31 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,200 Speaker 2: a flat a couple of weeks later last weekend and 32 00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:35,559 Speaker 2: when they went looking for the wheelock key to change 33 00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:38,440 Speaker 2: the spare tire over, he didn't have the wheelock key. 34 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:40,080 Speaker 2: It wasn't in the vehicle. And then he had to 35 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,399 Speaker 2: stay where he was down in Maryland, and it just 36 00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:44,520 Speaker 2: became a real Michig as his mom would say. So, 37 00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:48,200 Speaker 2: you know, just make sure look at your lugnuts, right 38 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:50,480 Speaker 2: if you've got four lug nuts a five lug wheel. 39 00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:52,520 Speaker 2: If you've got four lug nuts and one of them 40 00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,480 Speaker 2: looks kind of funny like it's got a little etch top, 41 00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:57,720 Speaker 2: that's a wheel lock, make sure you know where the 42 00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,160 Speaker 2: wheelock key is in your car before you travel out 43 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,160 Speaker 2: on the road much further and know where it is 44 00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:04,320 Speaker 2: and keep it in the same spot. And when you're 45 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:06,840 Speaker 2: getting your car back from the repair shop, always check 46 00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:10,280 Speaker 2: to make sure they put it in that spot. We 47 00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:12,840 Speaker 2: avoid that problem at the shop. We've got our own system. 48 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,160 Speaker 2: We will tell somebody, Hey, Tom, here's your wheel lock key. 49 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:17,600 Speaker 2: I'll hand it to you. I'll say, hey, this is 50 00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:19,760 Speaker 2: where we found it. Put it back there. We put 51 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:21,799 Speaker 2: a note in the file. But just to know where 52 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,840 Speaker 2: that wheel lock key is. I felt Andy's frustration. I 53 00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:28,079 Speaker 2: can imagine his friend's frustration not knowing where that wheel 54 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:29,720 Speaker 2: lock key is. He had to stay overnight in a 55 00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:32,920 Speaker 2: hotel because the dealership wasn't open till Monday morning. So 56 00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:36,200 Speaker 2: we lost a day's pay and had aggravation, nothing worse. 57 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:38,919 Speaker 2: So just be aware where is your wheel lock key. 58 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,560 Speaker 2: It's so simple and so important. Hey, let's kick the 59 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:43,800 Speaker 2: garage doors open this hour. Let's go over to Gil 60 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 2: in Tucson, Arizona. Gil. I have to ask, because I 61 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:50,280 Speaker 2: think New Jersey had to be hotter than Arizona this week. 62 00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:53,960 Speaker 2: It was one hundred and three here in New Jersey. 63 00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,520 Speaker 2: Part of the day yesterday or the day before. How 64 00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:57,679 Speaker 2: hot was it in Arizona? 65 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:02,400 Speaker 3: Well, Ron, we we were cooler than you were. We 66 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:05,120 Speaker 3: actually had a cooling trend. I don't think I got 67 00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 3: over one hundred this week. 68 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 2: Well now I think you are correct. Jeez, I feel 69 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:14,520 Speaker 2: so much better. Maybe I'm not sure, you know. And 70 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 2: you know, I've got to tell you I thought Arizona 71 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:19,960 Speaker 2: because I have friends that live in Arizona and New Mexico, 72 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:21,960 Speaker 2: and they always say, well, you know, it's a drier heat. 73 00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:25,680 Speaker 2: I don't care. One hundred degrees is still one hundred degrees. 74 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:27,520 Speaker 2: It's hot, brother, So. 75 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:32,720 Speaker 3: I agree, it's hot. Yep, anyway you look at it. 76 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 3: He also a real mischigasas. What the world is that? 77 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:38,760 Speaker 3: That's the new term. I've never heard it before. 78 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:41,880 Speaker 2: Michig as. That was my mom. You know, I don't 79 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 2: know where. Listen, my mother was the only Armenian woman 80 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,080 Speaker 2: I ever met that could speak Yiddish. I think it 81 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,160 Speaker 2: was Yiddish. I'm not sure where she got it from. 82 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 2: But you didn't argue with mom, you know it was. 83 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:56,760 Speaker 2: Mom was four foot ten, and you know it just 84 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,520 Speaker 2: I don't know who I wanted to face more, all right, 85 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 2: if I got in trouble around town and all the 86 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 2: cops knew me because I was the kid out there 87 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,320 Speaker 2: with hot rods, they you know, they refer me to 88 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 2: the police lieutenant. The police lieutenant would call me up 89 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:11,440 Speaker 2: and say, well, you know you can come here. I'll 90 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:12,840 Speaker 2: talk to you at headquarters. Do you want to go 91 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:14,240 Speaker 2: home and see your mother? I said, I'll come. I'll 92 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 2: see at headquarters. What time are you going to be there? 93 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,359 Speaker 2: Tell you didn't want to face mom. You just you 94 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:20,800 Speaker 2: just didn't brother because she was fiery. 95 00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:22,160 Speaker 4: So I love it. 96 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:23,839 Speaker 2: How can I help you today, sir? 97 00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:27,039 Speaker 3: Well, anyway, enjoy your showing his pleasure talking to Tom, 98 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,080 Speaker 3: and also thank you for the T shirt.

We're giving away 103 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,120 Speaker 2: T shirts this hour. By the way, for everybody listening in, 104 00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:36,800 Speaker 2: all you got to do is call in. What's on 105 00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 2: your mind? 106 00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:40,680 Speaker 3: My question is this ron. I'm in the market for 107 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,880 Speaker 3: a new truck, and basically it's come down to which 108 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:49,120 Speaker 3: the car company has got the least us problems in 109 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:52,680 Speaker 3: their engines. It's basically come down to Ford f one 110 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,920 Speaker 3: point fifty half ton four by four. I want a 111 00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,040 Speaker 3: toe probably no more than four to five thousand pounds. 112 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:03,920 Speaker 3: So I was considering both the two seven Ego Boost 113 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:07,240 Speaker 3: turbo Ego Boost and the five O Coyote. And I'll 114 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 3: tell you what I've what I've done. I've actually read 115 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:15,120 Speaker 3: too much on the internet about about the ego boosts, 116 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:18,279 Speaker 3: and sometimes all you hear is the horror stories. But 117 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:22,360 Speaker 3: I wanted to have your opinion on, uh, which which 118 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 3: engine would you choose to naturally aspirted five to zero 119 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,560 Speaker 3: or the two point seven? And there is the two 120 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:30,599 Speaker 3: point seven? Do you think a reliable motor? 121 00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:35,800 Speaker 2: I think they're probably both more reliable than they used 122 00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:39,679 Speaker 2: to be. And I'll tell you why, because they've they've 123 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:44,200 Speaker 2: they've both had so many problems. They've both been extensively 124 00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:47,280 Speaker 2: looked at by Ford Engineering and had so many corrections 125 00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:51,559 Speaker 2: to them. Me myself, and I'm not I'm not trying 126 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,240 Speaker 2: to be old school or old fashioned. I will take 127 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 2: naturally aspirated over turbo charges and I'll tell you why 128 00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:02,440 Speaker 2: if I'm keeping the truck short three years. Turbos are great. 129 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:04,599 Speaker 2: There are a lot of fun that boost. It kicks in, 130 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:08,200 Speaker 2: it takes off it's got horsepower, et cetera. If I'm 131 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:12,240 Speaker 2: keeping that truck ten years in year seven, when the 132 00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:16,440 Speaker 2: turbo fails at one hundred and fifty thousand miles, am 133 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:18,680 Speaker 2: I really ready to put four or five grand into 134 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:24,479 Speaker 2: it to repair it? And that naturally aspirated engine doesn't 135 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:28,479 Speaker 2: have that? Now, now, the turbo motor does give me 136 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:31,160 Speaker 2: more bang for the buck in terms of fuel economy. 137 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,680 Speaker 2: I don't worry about fuel economy. I don't travel far. 138 00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:40,000 Speaker 2: It's not part of my agenda. But I would probably 139 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:43,680 Speaker 2: choose the five zero. Now, before I close this out, 140 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:46,200 Speaker 2: the other comment I want to throw at you is 141 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 2: if you can find one, I think in the world 142 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:56,160 Speaker 2: of GM, a six point six leader, no active fuel management, 143 00:06:56,720 --> 00:07:01,080 Speaker 2: no turbo, almost four hundred cubic inches, big truck, twenty 144 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:06,000 Speaker 2: five hundred. Yeah right, you know, if you can find 145 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:08,880 Speaker 2: a two or three year old six six with the 146 00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:14,239 Speaker 2: with the six speed trans yeah, great truck, great truck, 147 00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:16,120 Speaker 2: not a lot of problems. 148 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 4: All right. 149 00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:20,880 Speaker 3: Well, yeah, the inner child in me wants the turbo, 150 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 3: but the senior citizen and me does get the five zero. 151 00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:28,280 Speaker 2: Well, listen, that's a different question. Let me here, wait me, 152 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:32,520 Speaker 2: let me change my Okay, I got my other shirt on. Yes, 153 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,240 Speaker 2: my son, how can I help you? What is it 154 00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:38,119 Speaker 2: that I can do for you, my child? You know, listen, 155 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:41,360 Speaker 2: you know there's an old expression, right, life's too short. 156 00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:45,400 Speaker 2: By the camaro. Life's too short. Get the turbo, you know, 157 00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:48,640 Speaker 2: get the turbo, put the extended warranty on it. Do 158 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:52,360 Speaker 2: your oil changes. Live a little all right. 159 00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 3: I have to agree with you, though, I just wanted 160 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:59,360 Speaker 3: to hear it from a pro. You know, I've got 161 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,720 Speaker 3: a five O up. I'm actually looking at the hurricane 162 00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:05,480 Speaker 3: engine until I started reading about Bellows and then the 163 00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:10,960 Speaker 3: five to seven. Hemi's got that torque e tork now. 164 00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:15,800 Speaker 3: So anyway, well, I think you answered my question for me. Ron, 165 00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:19,840 Speaker 3: I'm going to go to five ozho and it'll give me. 166 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:24,840 Speaker 3: I'm just interested in reliability and get me from point 167 00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:31,760 Speaker 3: A to point B. Yeah, through space and and without headaches. 168 00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:34,240 Speaker 2: And listen, we could always do we could always do 169 00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:36,280 Speaker 2: what we did, you know, Listen, I lived through the 170 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:39,360 Speaker 2: end of the muscle car era, and I remember when 171 00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:41,680 Speaker 2: the seventy threes and the seventy fours came out and 172 00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:43,880 Speaker 2: they had all smog pumps and they had no horse 173 00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:46,760 Speaker 2: power and a vacuum cleaner had more horsepower than a 174 00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,439 Speaker 2: Chevrolet Big Block at the time. We said, hey, if 175 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:51,280 Speaker 2: it don't go chrome it, you can put wheels and 176 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:53,920 Speaker 2: tires on it. So you know, if you don't think 177 00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:55,880 Speaker 2: it's fast enough, just put just put a lot of 178 00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:58,280 Speaker 2: chrome and bling on it and you'll be through. So 179 00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,880 Speaker 2: Gil t shirts coming. You're away, my friend, and remember. 180 00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:02,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, I appreciate it. 181 00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,319 Speaker 2: Everything is so much rot. You're very welcome. Everything is 182 00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:07,920 Speaker 2: Mischa Guss. Let's let's pull over and take the pause. 183 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,040 Speaker 2: Eight five five five six oh nine nine zero zero 184 00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:12,439 Speaker 2: run on ending of the car. Doctor coming back right 185 00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:24,880 Speaker 2: after this. Hey, let's go to Joe and Iowa, Joe, 186 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:26,800 Speaker 2: how can I help you today? You in your ninety 187 00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 2: four miles? But what's going on? 188 00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:30,480 Speaker 5: Yep? I had two vehicles I want to ask you 189 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:34,080 Speaker 5: about right sure in ninety four miles. It's my kids truck. 190 00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:36,760 Speaker 5: And he was driving it here three weeks ago and 191 00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:39,880 Speaker 5: he drove to the gas station, got fueled and didn't 192 00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:43,800 Speaker 5: get it restarted. So I told him, I said, well 193 00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:46,319 Speaker 5: it would crank and everything. He wouldn't fire, and I said, well, 194 00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:49,319 Speaker 5: go get it right home. We could take him home 195 00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:52,000 Speaker 5: and get some ether and stuff and told him to 196 00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,000 Speaker 5: put it in a throttle body of a squirt of it, 197 00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:56,000 Speaker 5: a couple of squirts and see if it fires. Well, 198 00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:58,400 Speaker 5: it didn't spark or anything. He said, it didn't. 199 00:09:58,160 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 4: Pop her anything. 200 00:09:59,200 --> 00:09:59,880 Speaker 3: Okay, I figured. 201 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:03,280 Speaker 5: I figured it's a electrical issue. And I haven't looked 202 00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:05,440 Speaker 5: at it. I mean I did glance at it and 203 00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:08,160 Speaker 5: look it over one day, and I haven't done anything 204 00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:10,280 Speaker 5: with it because we had some other things going on. 205 00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:14,000 Speaker 5: But you know, I'm just kind of wondering. I started 206 00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:16,600 Speaker 5: looking at the manual today and I'm wondering about the 207 00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:19,720 Speaker 5: ignition control module and how how often do those? Do 208 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:20,679 Speaker 5: those go bad? 209 00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:24,319 Speaker 2: Well, we're you know, keep keep in mind now before 210 00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:26,880 Speaker 2: you before you go further ninety four, two thousand and four, 211 00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:30,560 Speaker 2: twenty fourteen, what are we forty? No, we're thirty years old, right, 212 00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:34,520 Speaker 2: we're thirty two years old? Oh yeah, so, so how 213 00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:37,760 Speaker 2: often do things fail? Kind of goes out the window. Right. 214 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:43,720 Speaker 2: The other question will become parts of availability, just to 215 00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:46,160 Speaker 2: keep just to keep this real. Are we going to 216 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:49,160 Speaker 2: be able to find a good quality after market replacement 217 00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:52,880 Speaker 2: ignition module? Heck, we couldn't find good quality after market 218 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:58,280 Speaker 2: replacing ignition modules twenty years ago. So you know, you know, 219 00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:02,400 Speaker 2: what does MAZ that have of it? And for that matter, 220 00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:05,040 Speaker 2: you know, and I'm trying to remember, this is what 221 00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:09,319 Speaker 2: it is, a B twenty three hundred truck, Joe three thousand, okay, 222 00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:12,360 Speaker 2: same thing. You know, where is the module? Is the 223 00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:14,040 Speaker 2: module inside the distributor? 224 00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:16,840 Speaker 5: It's a remote mounted module. 225 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:20,360 Speaker 2: Okay, So can we get a wiring diagram? Do we 226 00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:22,600 Speaker 2: have power? Do we have ground? How much rust is 227 00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:24,760 Speaker 2: on this truck? And I know that's a weird question. 228 00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:29,360 Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, it's got some rust and things on it. 229 00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:31,720 Speaker 5: But I mean when I looked at like where the 230 00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:34,720 Speaker 5: modules at it look it looked pretty decent up there. 231 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,880 Speaker 2: You know, right, But keep in mind, you know, are 232 00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:41,960 Speaker 2: we missing a body ground somewhere? And you know, is 233 00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:46,480 Speaker 2: there something that's preventing a control module from functioning correctly? 234 00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:50,440 Speaker 2: And do we have spark? You know you're going on 235 00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:52,680 Speaker 2: the assumption or you know for a fact it does 236 00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:53,559 Speaker 2: not have spark. 237 00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:57,520 Speaker 5: Well, well, a little later, a few days later, I 238 00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:00,360 Speaker 5: went over and I thought I'd crank at myself and 239 00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:03,000 Speaker 5: see what it's going to do. Well, it fired up 240 00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:06,440 Speaker 5: and it started running and stuff. But it's running pretty sour. 241 00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:09,800 Speaker 5: It's like it's running like there's I mean, like the 242 00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:14,959 Speaker 5: mass airflow sensors or something is not working, you know, correctly. Uh, 243 00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:17,600 Speaker 5: it was island high and didn't I think if I remember, 244 00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:20,360 Speaker 5: I was idle hiding when I idle back down and 245 00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:23,400 Speaker 5: stuff like that. And I told him too when he 246 00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:26,480 Speaker 5: that day it wouldn't start, I said, take some you know, 247 00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:29,560 Speaker 5: mass airflow censor off and clean the sensor. And he 248 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:32,959 Speaker 5: said he cleaned it there where it was broke down, 249 00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:34,600 Speaker 5: and that didn't seem to help either. 250 00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:37,200 Speaker 2: You know, let's do let's do this, Joe. This is 251 00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:39,040 Speaker 2: this is a three leader correct, this is a three 252 00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:44,040 Speaker 2: leader Ford motor. Yeah, all right, So the ignition module 253 00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:45,959 Speaker 2: is mounted on the fender. Well, and it's it's a 254 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:47,960 Speaker 2: Ford engine, right, it's got a Ford distributor in it. 255 00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:51,880 Speaker 5: Well, I imagine it. I imagine it is. 256 00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:52,240 Speaker 3: Yeah. 257 00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:55,160 Speaker 2: I mean, if you first thing I want you to do, 258 00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:57,600 Speaker 2: first thing I want you to do is pull a 259 00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:02,400 Speaker 2: fuel sample, because it's it's just too weird that you 260 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:04,960 Speaker 2: put fuel in it and it wouldn't start. I don't 261 00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,080 Speaker 2: think it's a I don't think it's a fuel issue. 262 00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:09,600 Speaker 2: You know. My my question would be how low was 263 00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:12,480 Speaker 2: the tank when he when he went in to get gas. 264 00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:15,160 Speaker 2: Was it was it on e Was it at a 265 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:15,880 Speaker 2: half a tank? 266 00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:16,880 Speaker 3: You know? 267 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:18,960 Speaker 2: How fast did the fuel get to the front of 268 00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:20,920 Speaker 2: the engine If it is contaminating? You know, all those 269 00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:22,880 Speaker 2: thoughts go through my head. But I want to eliminate. 270 00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:24,400 Speaker 2: You know, what's good. Tell me what's good. I'll tell 271 00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:27,240 Speaker 2: you what's bad. I just want to know, does it 272 00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:30,720 Speaker 2: does it have contaminated fuel in it? All? Right? 273 00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:34,440 Speaker 5: Uh huh? Probably that was That was my first thought, 274 00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:36,280 Speaker 5: that it was running kind of He said it was 275 00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:39,319 Speaker 5: kind of running kind of sour. At some point before then. 276 00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:41,960 Speaker 5: I said, well, you know, I said fill it up 277 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:45,000 Speaker 5: with premium, you know, it's what I told him that, 278 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:47,720 Speaker 5: And that's what he did. He went, and I don't 279 00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:49,320 Speaker 5: think it was empty at the time he filled it. 280 00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:51,960 Speaker 5: He actually broke down at the gas station, right down. 281 00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:54,080 Speaker 2: So I don't I don't. I don't think so, Joe. 282 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:56,280 Speaker 2: But it's it's simple enough because there should be a 283 00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:59,319 Speaker 2: pressure relief port to tap into and pull a fuel 284 00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:02,560 Speaker 2: sample out of it and and just see what that is. 285 00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:04,720 Speaker 2: So that's number one. Number two. Did we pull a 286 00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:09,439 Speaker 2: spark plug wire off and using a spark tester check 287 00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:10,600 Speaker 2: to see if we have spark. 288 00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:14,000 Speaker 5: You know, at the time, I didn't. But when I 289 00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:16,120 Speaker 5: when I started it later, I figured, you know, it's 290 00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:18,439 Speaker 5: got to have a spark because it was running at 291 00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:21,000 Speaker 5: that time, but running pretty bad. 292 00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:24,200 Speaker 2: Right well, when when it when it didn't run, did 293 00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:25,400 Speaker 2: we check it for spark? 294 00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:26,600 Speaker 4: No? 295 00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:30,680 Speaker 5: No, I you know, no, didn't check it at that time. 296 00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:33,240 Speaker 2: So right now it's running, but it runs poorly. 297 00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:36,680 Speaker 5: Yeah, I didn't cut. He hasn't drove it or anything. 298 00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:37,200 Speaker 1: It's all right. 299 00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:41,360 Speaker 2: Let's let's let's let's do a fuel sample, all right, 300 00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:44,720 Speaker 2: because maybe there's more than one problem. Let's do a 301 00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:49,080 Speaker 2: fuel sample. Let's pull the distributor cap off. Is there 302 00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:51,720 Speaker 2: any oil inside the distributor body? 303 00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:52,920 Speaker 4: Yeah? 304 00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,040 Speaker 5: See, I didn't pull the distributor okay. 305 00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:58,400 Speaker 2: And then let's look at the base of the inside 306 00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:01,480 Speaker 2: the distributor. There's going to be a hale effect or 307 00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:04,840 Speaker 2: stater switch it was called. It's encased in black or 308 00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:09,200 Speaker 2: white rubber, all right? Is that gummy and soft? Is 309 00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:13,360 Speaker 2: the is the state or falling apart? Just something to 310 00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:17,640 Speaker 2: look for would not be completely uncommon, all right. And 311 00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:19,800 Speaker 2: then if we can get this to go into a 312 00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:23,400 Speaker 2: failure mode. Does this have spark when it dies? There 313 00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:27,520 Speaker 2: may be multiple problems. It's thirty two years old. All right, yeah, 314 00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:29,800 Speaker 2: I got two minutes left. What's your second question? 315 00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:34,120 Speaker 5: Well, the second one is the twenty fourteen niece on Titan, 316 00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:37,920 Speaker 5: and it's got an issue where it once it'll start, 317 00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:40,520 Speaker 5: sometimes it won't. It cranks all the time, but it'll click, 318 00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:43,960 Speaker 5: and you like to relay clicking. But we thought we'd 319 00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,080 Speaker 5: go ahead and I said, well, let's pull the relay 320 00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:49,840 Speaker 5: out and check, maybe change to relay. We pulled the 321 00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:53,200 Speaker 5: relay out kind of cracked it, which wasn't good. And 322 00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:55,960 Speaker 5: I've tried and tried. I've looked and looked and looked 323 00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:58,360 Speaker 5: trying to find a relay and hit what a pain 324 00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:02,160 Speaker 5: in the neck this has been. But I finally I 325 00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:05,880 Speaker 5: can type in Google the numbers off the relay. But 326 00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:10,960 Speaker 5: I Panasonic. It's a Panasonic relay in AIS and they 327 00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:15,120 Speaker 5: have a three digit prefix on the end. I haven't 328 00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:17,920 Speaker 5: been able to find out what those mean. I think 329 00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:22,080 Speaker 5: it's a Nissan exclusive. It's an H seven eight. 330 00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:25,680 Speaker 2: And I will well, Joe, can I ask you why 331 00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:31,760 Speaker 2: are you not just going to Nissan and buying a relay. 332 00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:33,120 Speaker 5: We tried that too, and I've talked to several parts 333 00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:39,680 Speaker 5: guys from Nissan coming up with different relays, and the one, yeah, 334 00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:42,360 Speaker 5: the one we first when we got don't believe it's 335 00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:45,160 Speaker 5: the right one. But I've talked to some different ones 336 00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:48,520 Speaker 5: and they have it like a recall relay, and it's like, 337 00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:50,040 Speaker 5: you can't figure out what the heck. 338 00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:52,720 Speaker 2: Okay, so here, let's let's let's back up before the 339 00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:55,640 Speaker 2: clock gets me. If you give the Nissan dealer the 340 00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:59,200 Speaker 2: last date, last day digits of the VIN and then 341 00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:01,520 Speaker 2: give him the part number of the relay in your hand, 342 00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:04,480 Speaker 2: they can't look up the relay. 343 00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:08,040 Speaker 5: Yeah, apparently apparently not when we went to the one dealer. 344 00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:12,840 Speaker 2: Okay, find another, find find another dealer, Joe, all right. 345 00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:15,480 Speaker 2: I've never seen a case where if I give them 346 00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:17,680 Speaker 2: a part number, if I give them an engineering number, 347 00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:20,920 Speaker 2: they can't cross reference it and come up with the same. Now, 348 00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:23,680 Speaker 2: maybe you don't have a starter relay in your hand, 349 00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:27,359 Speaker 2: although you know, I'm assuming you do because it clicked 350 00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:29,720 Speaker 2: and you pulled it out and now it doesn't click anymore. 351 00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:32,320 Speaker 2: So it sounds like you're headed in the right direction. 352 00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:36,159 Speaker 2: But positive identification. Listen, if they've got that big a 353 00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:39,040 Speaker 2: problem finding it. You're not gonna find it. You've got 354 00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:41,400 Speaker 2: to find a dealer that a parts department that knows 355 00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:44,479 Speaker 2: what they're doing, that's got a better understanding of it. 356 00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:46,920 Speaker 2: If you have to text them a picture of where 357 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:49,679 Speaker 2: it's located in the fuse box. But let's identify the 358 00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:52,640 Speaker 2: relay before we possibly buy the wrong thing. I'm ronnin 359 00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:54,920 Speaker 2: Ady and the car Doctor Quentin trim Or Trimmer Motorsports 360 00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:57,200 Speaker 2: Racing is coming up next.

We talked to Quinn trim 367 00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:31,359 Speaker 2: Or Trimmer Motorsports, and we thought it would be a 368 00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:32,920 Speaker 2: fun time to get back to them. You know, fourth 369 00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:33,719 Speaker 2: of July weekend. 370 00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:34,400 Speaker 3: Uh. 371 00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:36,520 Speaker 2: You know, racing is a big part of America, and 372 00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:38,480 Speaker 2: you know here we are celebrating our two hundred and 373 00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:40,440 Speaker 2: fiftieth anniversary and we always sit down and talk to 374 00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:43,400 Speaker 2: Quinn and see what's new is they've been racing down 375 00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:46,200 Speaker 2: their wall Stadium, mister Trimmor, Welcome back, sir. 376 00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:49,680 Speaker 4: How you doing to talk to you guys? 377 00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:51,880 Speaker 2: Look at this right, you're you're you're like now, you're 378 00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:54,720 Speaker 2: a professional race car driver and you're a professional radio star. 379 00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:57,920 Speaker 2: You have, you have two careers going on at the 380 00:18:57,920 --> 00:18:58,520 Speaker 2: same time. 381 00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:02,560 Speaker 4: So really great, great to be here. Thanks for having 382 00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:02,880 Speaker 4: me again. 383 00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:04,760 Speaker 2: Well, you know, it's always a pleasure listening. We love 384 00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:07,080 Speaker 2: what you guys do and we're excited to have you 385 00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:10,280 Speaker 2: with us. Since the last time we talked, you've been 386 00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:12,119 Speaker 2: down to Wall Stadium a couple of times. 387 00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:13,080 Speaker 3: You know. 388 00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:16,280 Speaker 2: I think the last time we talked were you You 389 00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:18,560 Speaker 2: were back in the pack, right, you were seventh or 390 00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:20,159 Speaker 2: eighth or something in the standings. 391 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:22,840 Speaker 4: Yeah, we were somewhere in the middle of the field. 392 00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:24,760 Speaker 4: We weren't too high up in points. We didn't have 393 00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:26,879 Speaker 4: a bad finish, don't get me wrong, but we certainly 394 00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:29,120 Speaker 4: were fighting some some gremlins in the car that were 395 00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:31,800 Speaker 4: preventing from the turning. Something struggled with all of twenty 396 00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:32,400 Speaker 4: twenty five. 397 00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:35,560 Speaker 2: So where are you now? I mean, I understand the 398 00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:39,960 Speaker 2: weather hasn't been great and you know, you you continue 399 00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,960 Speaker 2: to have some issues, but you know, you've raced a 400 00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:45,320 Speaker 2: couple of times. Now what were the races, Like, what's 401 00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:46,200 Speaker 2: going on with the car? 402 00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:49,800 Speaker 4: Yeah, so you know after the finish that we had 403 00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:51,800 Speaker 4: an opening night with the car not wanting to turn 404 00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:53,600 Speaker 4: really good in the middle of the corner. We really 405 00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:55,280 Speaker 4: had to get after in the shop. And we had 406 00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:58,560 Speaker 4: one hundred lap race almost you know, a week after 407 00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:01,960 Speaker 4: we had our interview the first time, and we were 408 00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:03,680 Speaker 4: coming out pretty strong. We still had a bit of 409 00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:06,399 Speaker 4: an issue with the car turning, but we started to 410 00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:08,880 Speaker 4: fix it. So we qualified second in that race, which 411 00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:12,159 Speaker 4: was a great starting spot, but we went for a 412 00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:14,359 Speaker 4: extra adjustment because I thought the car could use a 413 00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:17,439 Speaker 4: little bit more. We failed pre race inspection because we 414 00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:20,600 Speaker 4: had lowered our ridehead just a little too much, so 415 00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:22,080 Speaker 4: we started for the back of the pack. But coming 416 00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:24,280 Speaker 4: from the back of the pack, avoiding some RECs, saving 417 00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:27,000 Speaker 4: our tires, and just keeping a consistent pace, we ended 418 00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:29,080 Speaker 4: up working our way up to fifth place and that's 419 00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:31,040 Speaker 4: where we ended up. So that's a pretty good finish. 420 00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:33,600 Speaker 2: That's that's that's gotta be tough, right, You work all 421 00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:35,960 Speaker 2: week and you know, you get the car all set 422 00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:39,080 Speaker 2: up and just one little quarter turn of an adjustment 423 00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:40,440 Speaker 2: too far, and all of a sudden you're at the 424 00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:42,600 Speaker 2: back of the pack and they say, hey, that's too much. 425 00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:46,320 Speaker 2: You can't do that. I can imagine. 426 00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:48,800 Speaker 4: Yeah, it has to be because you know that adjustment 427 00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:50,320 Speaker 4: is going to be good. You know, you know it's 428 00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:53,240 Speaker 4: helping the car out. It's just too little, too late, right. 429 00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:56,640 Speaker 2: I wonder why you know too low? Is you know 430 00:20:57,600 --> 00:20:59,520 Speaker 2: everybody could go that low if they wanted to, right? 431 00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:01,120 Speaker 2: Is it just a matter if they're trying to keep 432 00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:04,800 Speaker 2: you guys you know in similar cars? Do you think 433 00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:06,760 Speaker 2: or is it a safety thing? Is there a reason 434 00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:08,640 Speaker 2: why that, you know, too low of a ride height 435 00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:11,000 Speaker 2: is a problem? Did they did they mention it? 436 00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:16,280 Speaker 4: I mean, I'm sure there's a few reasons for it. Primarily, 437 00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:19,280 Speaker 4: I'm almost certain it's for performance reasons. You know, the 438 00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:21,240 Speaker 4: lower the car gets you can kind of do a 439 00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:23,679 Speaker 4: little a couple of things with the justins that are 440 00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:25,199 Speaker 4: going to pick up some speed. The other thing is, 441 00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:28,280 Speaker 4: you know, these cars are traveling pretty far going in 442 00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:29,800 Speaker 4: the corriers to the point where you see some of 443 00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:32,639 Speaker 4: these modified cars they're smacking the track with their belly 444 00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:35,560 Speaker 4: pen going through the corner. Right, So, whether it be 445 00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:39,919 Speaker 4: for pavement preservation or for performance. I'm figuring it's more 446 00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:40,359 Speaker 4: the latter. 447 00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:43,640 Speaker 2: Quinn for everybody, refresh everybody's memory. You're driving what kind 448 00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:44,119 Speaker 2: of a car? 449 00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:47,320 Speaker 4: Yeah, so I'm driving a Sportsman Modify, which is like 450 00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:49,920 Speaker 4: a it's a stock car with open wheels and a 451 00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:51,639 Speaker 4: big three fifty Chevy. 452 00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:54,439 Speaker 2: Motor and it'll I believe it does one hundred one 453 00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:55,800 Speaker 2: hundred and ten down the straight. 454 00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:59,000 Speaker 4: That's right, we're getting upretty quick down those tradeaways, going 455 00:21:59,000 --> 00:21:59,960 Speaker 4: about ninety through. 456 00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:02,040 Speaker 2: The And how big of a track? How big is 457 00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:02,480 Speaker 2: the oval? 458 00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:04,640 Speaker 4: So only have a third of a mile and it's 459 00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:05,720 Speaker 4: shaped like a paper cliff. 460 00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:08,640 Speaker 2: So so is the car sideways half the time? 461 00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:12,919 Speaker 4: I mean, for what it's worth, Uh, you want it 462 00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:15,400 Speaker 4: to be a little sideways. Right. The saying is loose 463 00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:17,680 Speaker 4: is fast. And when I say loose, I'm talking about oversteers. 464 00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:19,480 Speaker 4: So we're not back in kicking out just a little 465 00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:22,119 Speaker 4: bit to the point where it's handling. Then that's pretty 466 00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:24,240 Speaker 4: quick because you don't want to be too too much 467 00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:26,719 Speaker 4: in the wheel for lack of a better word. So 468 00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:29,119 Speaker 4: it's pretty sideways pretty much a good portion of the 469 00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:30,320 Speaker 4: corner if you're going fast enough. 470 00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:33,280 Speaker 2: So the first race you finished fifth that you had 471 00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:35,920 Speaker 2: after or was that the opener? No, the opener you 472 00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:36,679 Speaker 2: finished fifth? 473 00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:40,280 Speaker 4: Uh yeah, so I think the opener we finished we 474 00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:43,920 Speaker 4: finished sixth actually, okay, so right from a sixth place 475 00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:45,440 Speaker 4: and then the fifth and a fifth and then. 476 00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:47,320 Speaker 2: You've had you had, you had another one after that. 477 00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:50,080 Speaker 2: The second race was a twenty five lapper, and you 478 00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:53,960 Speaker 2: qualified second again, right yep, so very much. 479 00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:57,119 Speaker 4: Similar to the one hundred laper. We came out qualified second, 480 00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:59,960 Speaker 4: really strong. We had finally kind of figured out what 481 00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:02,199 Speaker 4: that issue was and we wanted to give it just 482 00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:04,400 Speaker 4: a little bit of an extra turn, and we went 483 00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:07,320 Speaker 4: a little too far. So we started second. Started battling 484 00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:09,800 Speaker 4: on the top side because we started on the outside 485 00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:12,760 Speaker 4: of the track, so cars on my inside, my left 486 00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:16,320 Speaker 4: for if you're looking at the track straight, but we 487 00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:18,119 Speaker 4: were on the outside. And what that does is it 488 00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:20,160 Speaker 4: tears up the tires a little bit too much. Heaps 489 00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:21,919 Speaker 4: up that right rear when you lose grip and that 490 00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,399 Speaker 4: tire because they get too hot. You end up trailing 491 00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:26,080 Speaker 4: back a little bit. So we were fighting pretty good, 492 00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:28,600 Speaker 4: had to fall back into fifth, but another top five. 493 00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:30,600 Speaker 4: Not a bad finish, so. 494 00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:34,159 Speaker 2: No, not at all out of curiosity. Go back to 495 00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:36,399 Speaker 2: the one hundred lap race. Do you change tires in 496 00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:38,639 Speaker 2: that race or you get through the whole race on 497 00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:39,439 Speaker 2: one set of tires. 498 00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:41,920 Speaker 4: Nope, We'll get through the whole race on one set 499 00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:45,119 Speaker 4: of tires. We started using a different compound, a different 500 00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:49,359 Speaker 4: manufacturer of tire this season, specifically at Wall Stadium, and 501 00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:52,320 Speaker 4: that manufacturer these tires seem to last a whole lot 502 00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:54,919 Speaker 4: longer and keep some good speed throughout the race. So 503 00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:58,400 Speaker 4: fortunately that tire change allowed us to make that long 504 00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:00,600 Speaker 4: of a stretch. In the past, we've only done fifties, 505 00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:01,560 Speaker 4: maybe seventy. 506 00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:03,199 Speaker 2: Five on occasions, and then you've had to come in 507 00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:04,040 Speaker 2: and change tires. 508 00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:07,400 Speaker 4: No, No, not at all. So at that point, those 509 00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:10,800 Speaker 4: races unfortunately come down to savings because those tires fall 510 00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:13,240 Speaker 4: off in about twenty five laps. The old compound, I mean, 511 00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:16,600 Speaker 4: you would have to really take it easy and kind 512 00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:18,800 Speaker 4: of slow yourself down and make sure that you weren't 513 00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:20,160 Speaker 4: tearing the rubber off of them. 514 00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:24,879 Speaker 2: Gotcha, gotcha? So you had the twenty five lapper, you 515 00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:29,120 Speaker 2: finished in the top five. What do you guys learn 516 00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:30,840 Speaker 2: out of this? Maybe just you know, is there a 517 00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:32,720 Speaker 2: point where you're going to leave the car alone, is it? 518 00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:36,080 Speaker 4: You know, enough is good and leave it be so 519 00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:39,639 Speaker 4: not technically right, So we want to get into a 520 00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:42,480 Speaker 4: sort of a baseline right where we can unload the 521 00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:45,720 Speaker 4: car every week and we're generally on pace, the handlings 522 00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:48,000 Speaker 4: working in our favorite to the point where all we 523 00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:51,479 Speaker 4: need to do is make minor tweaks every week to 524 00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:54,600 Speaker 4: chase after the track, whether it's rubbered up, whether you know, 525 00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:56,879 Speaker 4: it rains during the week and there's no rubber on 526 00:24:56,920 --> 00:24:59,960 Speaker 4: the track, hot out, if it's cold out, all these things. 527 00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:02,359 Speaker 4: You know, even if the sun's on turns one to 528 00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:04,840 Speaker 4: two and they're shade on three and four. You got 529 00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:07,399 Speaker 4: to make minor adjustments to chase after those sorts of things. 530 00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:09,040 Speaker 4: But if we can get to a good baseline where 531 00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:11,800 Speaker 4: we feel confident, and that's where're kind of at right now, 532 00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:12,520 Speaker 4: that's ideal. 533 00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:15,879 Speaker 2: Rubbered up. Explain that term to us Quinn. 534 00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:20,600 Speaker 4: Yeah, sure. So when the modifies and the sports and 535 00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:23,919 Speaker 4: modifieds go out on track, even you know, ledged cars 536 00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:27,640 Speaker 4: factory stocks for cylinders, they all have different tires that 537 00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:30,000 Speaker 4: have a bunch of you know, obviously they're mide of rubbers, 538 00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,480 Speaker 4: some slicker than others. But as those tires get hot 539 00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:35,000 Speaker 4: on the track, that rubber melts off and kind of 540 00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:38,760 Speaker 4: sticks into the pavement and makes it kind of a 541 00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:41,520 Speaker 4: rubber surface, if you will. So when you're racing on 542 00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:43,960 Speaker 4: that it gets you know, really hot out and the 543 00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:47,280 Speaker 4: tracks getting hot, that rubber surface gets pretty sticky and 544 00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:49,400 Speaker 4: you get a lot of traction there. You can get 545 00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:51,639 Speaker 4: too hot and that rubber actually becomes like a liquid, 546 00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:54,120 Speaker 4: it gets kind of slick, and you've got times where 547 00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:57,960 Speaker 4: the track's cold, maybe during the months like October, where 548 00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:01,040 Speaker 4: that rubber gets really grippy because that medium heat. So 549 00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:03,159 Speaker 4: you've got to think about what rubber does when it 550 00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:05,600 Speaker 4: gets hot versus when it gets cold, because we're basically 551 00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:07,720 Speaker 4: driving on the rubber more than we're driving on the papers. 552 00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:11,760 Speaker 2: Wow, I never would have thought the tire peeling apart. 553 00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:15,040 Speaker 2: It's got to be an issue. So you're going into 554 00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:18,479 Speaker 2: the July eleventh race, Now you've got to you've got 555 00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:22,000 Speaker 2: two top fives. You think you've got the car handling right. 556 00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:24,239 Speaker 2: Where do you think you're going to finish? What are 557 00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:24,679 Speaker 2: your hopes? 558 00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:28,240 Speaker 4: Well, look, I'm hoping to finish, you know, somewhere in 559 00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:30,679 Speaker 4: that top five. Again, obviously I'm aiming for that checkered 560 00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:33,680 Speaker 4: flag if we can figure out you know, I think 561 00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:35,800 Speaker 4: we're at that baseline now. We kind of kind of 562 00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:39,040 Speaker 4: have a good set of information on setups, so we're 563 00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:40,879 Speaker 4: just waiting to get out there and try how you know, 564 00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:42,680 Speaker 4: the weather is not that too kind to us, but 565 00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:45,520 Speaker 4: I'm really hoping that we can get into that top three, 566 00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:48,440 Speaker 4: maybe push those finishes up. Then maybe with a little 567 00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:50,200 Speaker 4: bit of a little bit of luck in a good 568 00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:52,199 Speaker 4: qualifying run, we can get that thing up front for 569 00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:53,600 Speaker 4: the Shecker Quinn. 570 00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:56,840 Speaker 2: Does the track change season to season race to race? 571 00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:58,960 Speaker 2: Do you have to constantly tune and adjust the car? 572 00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:01,520 Speaker 2: Are you doing it because the track has got tied, 573 00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:03,920 Speaker 2: you know, rubbered up as you say, Or is it 574 00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:06,880 Speaker 2: is it that the track changes, the car settles. What 575 00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:09,800 Speaker 2: makes the car where you're always adjusting things every race 576 00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:10,439 Speaker 2: every season? 577 00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:13,560 Speaker 4: Well, yeah, you know it's it's definitely a race to 578 00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:16,760 Speaker 4: race more so than season the season. But there's a 579 00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:18,720 Speaker 4: whole bunch of factors. I don't want to talk too 580 00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:20,520 Speaker 4: long about it, but you know, even if the pavement 581 00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:23,080 Speaker 4: gets torn up, just so many cars hitting it. That's 582 00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:26,480 Speaker 4: why you see some tracks do repavements, and uh yeah, 583 00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:29,320 Speaker 4: if the track had some rain hit it, then all 584 00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:31,720 Speaker 4: that rubber, a lot of it that's stuck in those 585 00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:34,720 Speaker 4: pavement cracks can get washed out and uh and that 586 00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:38,399 Speaker 4: surface will behave completely differently. And also you know, if 587 00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:41,879 Speaker 4: you get any contact during that during the season and 588 00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:45,040 Speaker 4: you know, maybe bumps, you you bump a tire with 589 00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:47,560 Speaker 4: somebody that bends a rod just ever so slightly, you 590 00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:50,280 Speaker 4: don't catch it. You got to adjust the geometry to 591 00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:53,160 Speaker 4: make up for that difference. And you know, everything's made 592 00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:55,240 Speaker 4: of metal, and as we know, metal gives if you 593 00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:58,520 Speaker 4: hit it hard enough. There's any ways that you gotta 594 00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:01,439 Speaker 4: gotta account for those things to make sure the car's handling. 595 00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:04,240 Speaker 2: You guys have a lot to deal with. Quinn, we're 596 00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:06,440 Speaker 2: gonna go. Is there a place that listeners can keep 597 00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:08,800 Speaker 2: up with you? Facebook or social media or something? What 598 00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:09,280 Speaker 2: do you got? 599 00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:12,840 Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely so. On Facebook we're at Quinn Schrimmer Racing, 600 00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:15,399 Speaker 4: and on TikTok and Instagram it's Trimmer Motorsports. 601 00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:17,800 Speaker 2: One word cool being thank you, You're welcome. Say hi 602 00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:19,960 Speaker 2: did that? I'm Ron and Andy and the car Doctor. 603 00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:39,240 Speaker 2: We're back right after this. Look back. You know, I 604 00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:42,320 Speaker 2: think of Quinn Schimmer and battling around that third mile 605 00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:44,560 Speaker 2: track down there at roll Stadium at one hundred plus 606 00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:47,680 Speaker 2: miles an hour, you know, wheel to wheel just inches 607 00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:50,400 Speaker 2: away from each other. And one of the things we 608 00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:52,640 Speaker 2: haven't talked about yet, and maybe I'll try to bring 609 00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:55,520 Speaker 2: it up next time. What does it feel like? You know, 610 00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:57,080 Speaker 2: because it's got to be on your mind. If the 611 00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:59,960 Speaker 2: guy next to you screws up, he's gonna take you out. 612 00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:02,560 Speaker 2: You know, you're in the accident as well, So it's 613 00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:04,600 Speaker 2: got to be a little hair raising. And I guess 614 00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:07,360 Speaker 2: that's racing, right, Rubbing is racing, is the saying goes, 615 00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:10,720 Speaker 2: Let's do some mail. Here's the shortest email question I 616 00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:12,240 Speaker 2: think I've ever gotten. I'm gonna do my best to 617 00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:13,280 Speaker 2: answer it. I don't know where this is. 618 00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:13,600 Speaker 3: Going to go. 619 00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:16,959 Speaker 2: Hey, Ron, I think you have talked about Subaru head 620 00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:20,680 Speaker 2: gaskint problems, but how about the engine oil leakage? Another 621 00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:24,360 Speaker 2: four thousand dollars repair? Rich, Rich, I need more than that. 622 00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:28,120 Speaker 2: You know what year, make model, how many miles are 623 00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:31,760 Speaker 2: on it. Subaru is in general, in this mechanics opinion, 624 00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:34,760 Speaker 2: get to be expensive as they get older, and they do. 625 00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:39,240 Speaker 2: They're just one of the higher maintenance required vehicles, especially 626 00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:40,920 Speaker 2: if you do it by the book, and if you 627 00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:43,400 Speaker 2: do it real world, it gets even worse. You know, 628 00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:47,520 Speaker 2: it's sixty thousand miles on a typical Subaru, You're you're 629 00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:49,479 Speaker 2: doing spark plugs on most of them, you're doing all 630 00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:52,719 Speaker 2: the drive line fluids, You're you're doing fuel system cleaning, 631 00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:55,800 Speaker 2: you're spending a grand, you're spending your twelve thirteen hundred 632 00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:58,040 Speaker 2: dollars depending on what you know. And then at that 633 00:29:58,160 --> 00:29:59,960 Speaker 2: mile it's too It always seems like it hits Whord's 634 00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:03,720 Speaker 2: and it's tires and high mileage vehicle, high maintenance vehicle. 635 00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:05,640 Speaker 2: Rather and I'm not saying it's a bad vehicle, just 636 00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:08,400 Speaker 2: know what you're getting. Now you're talking about engine oil leaks. Well, 637 00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:11,160 Speaker 2: are we talking about two one thousand miles Subaru engine 638 00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:13,080 Speaker 2: oil leaks? Heck at two hu one thousand miles, you 639 00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:15,720 Speaker 2: owe it an engine reseal. And you know, part of 640 00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:17,800 Speaker 2: the way I look at it is be fortunate. It's 641 00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:21,000 Speaker 2: fairly easy to pull the engine out, and I wouldn't 642 00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:23,600 Speaker 2: do it any other way than to reseal the entire engine. 643 00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:26,400 Speaker 2: You take one hundred to one hundred and fifty thousand 644 00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:31,040 Speaker 2: mile and up engine of anything any brand, any manufacturer, 645 00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:33,760 Speaker 2: and you go to reseal it, change your rearmain seal. 646 00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:38,680 Speaker 2: If that remain seal is rock hard, then every seal 647 00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:40,719 Speaker 2: in that engine is rock hard. And when do they 648 00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:44,160 Speaker 2: start leaking? Not a common practice. Subaru is one of 649 00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:46,520 Speaker 2: the car companies though, that doesn't. And I got to 650 00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:49,680 Speaker 2: tell you, I think it's right. I don't know if 651 00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:52,120 Speaker 2: we can look at well, gee, it's four thousand dollars 652 00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:56,560 Speaker 2: something I said right here on this radio show twenty 653 00:30:56,640 --> 00:31:01,280 Speaker 2: years ago. Was it really twenty years ago? God, I've 654 00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:03,720 Speaker 2: been doing this a long time, but I said it 655 00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:08,240 Speaker 2: twenty years ago. You know, it's not what it's going 656 00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:09,920 Speaker 2: to cost you, it's what it's going to cost you 657 00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:15,240 Speaker 2: to replace. We have seen repair bills and estimates and 658 00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:19,120 Speaker 2: the cost of repairing a vehicle climb dramatically in the 659 00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:22,520 Speaker 2: last seven or eight years. And I guess we could 660 00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:24,320 Speaker 2: blame it on COVID, and I guess we could blame 661 00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:28,400 Speaker 2: it on economic times, but it really traces back to 662 00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:31,040 Speaker 2: the price of the replacement vehicle. The price of the 663 00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:35,200 Speaker 2: replacement vehicle goes up, the price of repairing that vehicle 664 00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:41,200 Speaker 2: goes up. In nineteen seventy two, when dirt was invented, 665 00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:44,160 Speaker 2: and I was a young kid. I was doing water 666 00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:47,760 Speaker 2: pumps in the bay for Billy at the Texaco. One 667 00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:49,800 Speaker 2: of my first jobs, I was doing small block Chevy 668 00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:53,240 Speaker 2: water pumps. A small block Chevy water pump in nineteen 669 00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:57,640 Speaker 2: seventy two was about two hundred I remember two fifty 670 00:31:57,720 --> 00:31:59,600 Speaker 2: nine and two eighty nine. If it had a thermostat 671 00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:01,320 Speaker 2: was it was a little bit more. It was under 672 00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:04,840 Speaker 2: three hundred bucks the water pump, thermostat, and I probably 673 00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:07,360 Speaker 2: threw in an oil change. Now you fast forward that, 674 00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:10,880 Speaker 2: where are we fifty years later and fifty something years later? 675 00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:13,320 Speaker 2: And look at how much a water pump costs on anything? 676 00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:15,840 Speaker 2: And small block chevyes may be long gone, but the 677 00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:18,480 Speaker 2: engines of today that have replaced it are even more expensive. 678 00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:22,760 Speaker 2: But aren't they relative to the replacement cost or value 679 00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:26,520 Speaker 2: of that vehicle. Put a water pump on a I 680 00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:30,880 Speaker 2: don't know an LSGM anything right, and service it and 681 00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:33,800 Speaker 2: do hoses like we did on that small block water 682 00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:36,600 Speaker 2: pump replacement so many years ago. It was radiator hoses, 683 00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:39,040 Speaker 2: water pump, thermostat and a coolant exchange. Do the same 684 00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:43,040 Speaker 2: job on a regular Silverado Chevy pickup. It'll be fifteen 685 00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:45,880 Speaker 2: hundred and two grand by the time you're done, special coolant, 686 00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:50,200 Speaker 2: fancy hoses, hoses that enter tea and go into other hoses. 687 00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:53,760 Speaker 2: So it's four thousand dollars to reseal the engine on 688 00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:58,720 Speaker 2: a Subaru that bad. I don't know. You know, is 689 00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:01,360 Speaker 2: it an eight to nine year old Subi, which is 690 00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:04,400 Speaker 2: typically around the timeframe that this happens. Is it a 691 00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:08,000 Speaker 2: higher mileage Subaru. I've seen some suber Us. Yeah, they'll 692 00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:10,080 Speaker 2: go one hundred and fifty maybe two hundred thousand miles, 693 00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:11,960 Speaker 2: and then they start to leak oil. They're allowed to 694 00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:15,520 Speaker 2: leak oil. Rich unless you've got a specific case and 695 00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:18,880 Speaker 2: a specific example of Oh it's this particular model and 696 00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:22,360 Speaker 2: we see it all the time. I think we have 697 00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:24,920 Speaker 2: to look at You can't take it out of perspective. 698 00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:27,440 Speaker 2: You can't take it and say, well, why does it 699 00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:29,000 Speaker 2: leak oil? I don't know how old is it? How 700 00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:30,280 Speaker 2: many miles do I have on it? How has it 701 00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:32,240 Speaker 2: been used? What sort of maintenance has been done to it? 702 00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:35,520 Speaker 2: Because that all comes back to it. Do I think 703 00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:38,360 Speaker 2: it's worth four grand? I think it's cheaper than replacing 704 00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:41,320 Speaker 2: the car. And that's the bottom line. A five five 705 00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:43,800 Speaker 2: five six nine nine zero zero. I'm running eney in 706 00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:45,480 Speaker 2: the car doctor.
