5
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:26,440

23
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:33,680
Speaker 1: really am. I'm sitting I'm going. You know, it's kind

24
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 1: of like you know, you think you left the house

25
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 1: without your pants on, and I'm going, I know there's

26
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 1: something I forgot to do today, but I can't quite

27
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 1: put my finger on it. And that's what we found it.

28
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:45,759
Speaker 1: We found it so well, you know what. It's funny.

29
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 1: I knew as soon as I started talking because the

30
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 1: way it plays back in my headset, I said, Oops,

31
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 1: something's up. Um, So let's uh, you were singing the

32
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 1: sounds of silence, right. Yeah, I could just tell, you know,

33
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 1: because your headset sounds different when it's when it's not

34
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 1: on air, and you can you can just tell like

35
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:06,279
Speaker 1: I'm looking around, going wait a minute, this isn't right. Um,

36
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 1: something's not right. So how are you, Tom? Let me

37
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 1: say hello to you today as long as I got you. Um,

39
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:17,639
Speaker 1: not bad, not bad. I've been sitting here and uh,

40
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:19,919
Speaker 1: the sun just came out, so that's a good thing.

41
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 1: And uh, you know, and of course the dog is

42
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 1: sitting here sleeping at my feet, so I don't know

43
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 1: where Lucy is she's not around the studio today. I

44
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 1: think she's uh. I think she's passed out in the

45
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 1: other room. So um. But then he wore out this

46
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 1: morning and I wore out. She was she was. We

47
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:34,519
Speaker 1: took her out, and we took her out in the

48
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 1: yard at the house and she was chasing the ball,

49
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 1: so that kind of that kind of wore her out.

50
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 1: She's a ball fanatic, but pit bulls are so Hey, listen,

51
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:43,919
Speaker 1: you want to do some radio. Maybe it's time I

52
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,080
Speaker 1: should start taking car questions because I got a feeling.

53
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 1: We got a busy day today. What do you say, Yeah, yeah,

00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 1: of stuff. So go ahead and knock yourself out and

56
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:54,359
Speaker 1: take me over to Randy in Michigan. Randy, welcome to

57
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 1: the car doctor. Now that everything's working, you see how

58
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,800
Speaker 1: we have to diagnose things. Even radio doesn't work right sometimes.

59
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 1: What's going on? Randy? How can help? Yeah? Thanks for

60
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 1: taking the call around A man of the show. I

61
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 1: just found you this year. I had to to be

62
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 1: on um. Yeah, this ram uh and overdrive. It seems

63
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 1: like no matter what speed, it has a hesitation. And

64
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:18,360
Speaker 1: I can tell that the rtd ms are kind of

65
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 1: going up and down, up and down, and then I

66
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 1: come to a small grade, you know, like an uphill grade,

67
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 1: and then it kind of goes up and then down

68
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 1: and then it's like perfect. But then when I get

69
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 1: on a straight away, you know, no grade, it just

70
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 1: starts going up and down, up and down. And there's

71
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 1: been a couple, I don't know a handful of times

72
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 1: where I'll be at a stop flight and then it'll

73
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 1: be my turn to go and I'll just push the

74
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 1: gas to get through the light, and all of a sudden,

75
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 1: it just launches, and I'm like, what's going on? And

76
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 1: I know you're I know you're a big fan of diagnoses,

77
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 1: you know, and checking off the problem. And I've actually

78
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 1: taken it to three different people and one guy thought,

79
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 1: now you just low on transmission fluid. So I made

80
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 1: sure that was full. That wasn't it. Uh. My neighbor

81
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 1: is A is a mechanic, he owns his own shop,

82
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 1: and he goes, is A is a ch engine light on?

83
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 1: I said, nope, he goes that, don't worry about you,

84
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 1: just drive it. Well, it bugs me. Actually had another

85
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 1: guy actually had the other guy he actually rode with me,

86
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 1: and he felt that in overdrive, you know, going up

87
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:27,040
Speaker 1: and down, up and down about a hundred hundred RPMs.

88
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 1: And he goes, oh, yeah, it's supposed to do that.

89
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 1: It's going from eight you know, cylinders the six cylinders

90
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 1: to save you gas. Like, why did he keep doing it?

91
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's doing it all the time. Well,

92
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 1: so what you're saying is this isn't this is a

93
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:43,720
Speaker 1: multiple cylinder displacement on off set up? What engine is this?

94
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 1: Randy five point seven? So I didn't even know they

95
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 1: did it, but I didn't even know they made the

96
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 1: vehicles back then like that he said they did. But

97
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 1: since then he's retired, so I can't tell him. You

98
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 1: know that you were wrong. So listen, let's diagnose it.

99
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:03,479
Speaker 1: You're right, I like to diagnose things. I'd like to

100
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 1: know what's going on. Um uh, you know, NOUM. Just

101
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 1: because there's no check engine light doesn't mean that there's

102
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,360
Speaker 1: not gonna be a fault in the vehicle. Obviously, we

103
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:13,480
Speaker 1: had one just two weeks ago. As a matter of fact,

104
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 1: it was a thirteen Dodge Ram. It wouldn't set any

105
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:19,840
Speaker 1: fault codes. But when the vehicle went into overdrive. The

106
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 1: trans would actually run normal, act normal, and you wouldn't

107
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:30,480
Speaker 1: even notice it. And then after about three minutes running

108
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 1: the same never changing a beat, all the pits look

109
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:36,159
Speaker 1: the same, data stream looked normal. All of a sudden,

110
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 1: would it would it would pop a trans fault. I

111
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 1: believe a P zero seven forty three if I remember right.

112
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:44,840
Speaker 1: And what it ended up being is what I think

113
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 1: is partially your problem as well, or where I would

114
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:50,119
Speaker 1: be concerned. That vehicle had a problem with the torque

115
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 1: converted the converter. The clutch facings inside the converter were

116
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 1: glazed and it chattered. Does it feel like a clutch

117
00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 1: chatter if it was a manual transmission and you let

118
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 1: it out and the clutch was glaze, that it's not

119
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 1: grabbing smoothly against the flywheel, that kind of a stutter

120
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 1: or chatter as my newt as it might be. Um well,

121
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 1: that one mccannon, the one mechanic that road with me,

122
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 1: and he says, you only hear it now because you

123
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 1: have an aftermarket exhaust. You know, I got flow master

124
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:22,360
Speaker 1: on here and it's in and actually the tailpipes kind

125
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:23,719
Speaker 1: of fell off, so it was just right there at

126
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,840
Speaker 1: the muffler and it is pretty loud. But I'm like, man,

127
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 1: I didn't notice that this bad when I had the

128
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:32,039
Speaker 1: quieter exhaustist them on it. And also I think it

129
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:34,160
Speaker 1: was last year when it was real hot out the

130
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 1: engine light did come on and it ran beautifully. I'm like, please,

131
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:41,840
Speaker 1: don't go out in it, you know. But but before

132
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:43,919
Speaker 1: I could get it, before I could get it to

133
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,720
Speaker 1: you know, somebody to scan it, the light went back off.

134
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 1: Wait a minute, now, Randy, is this a stutter? Is

135
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 1: this a sensation or is this a sound? Close you

136
00:06:54,720 --> 00:07:00,600
Speaker 1: close your ears? Do you experience it? Oh, that's a

137
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 1: good one, right there. Um, I think I hear it

138
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 1: more than I feel it. So so is it is

139
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 1: it that if you drove around in drive? I imagine

140
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 1: your transmission has probably to drive and then drive with

141
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 1: a circle or is it? Is it one two three drive?

142
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 1: What is it? What does it dashboard look like? The

143
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 1: shift indicators? Is there a drive and a drive with

144
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 1: a circle option? Oh? Oh, you know what I mean.

145
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 1: I'd like to go look at it. Can you hang

146
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 1: on a second, because we're gonna run out of time.

147
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 1: Can you lock out? Can you lock out over drive?

148
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 1: Can you keep the vehicle out of overdrive and it

149
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:42,680
Speaker 1: runs normal. Yes, okay, so when you when what I'd

150
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 1: like to know is I'd like to know a couple

151
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 1: of basic things, and most of you know what I'm

152
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 1: gonna say. Where does fuel trim go when the you know,

153
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 1: does fuel trim change? If you look at misfire counts,

154
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 1: do you physically see any misfire counts increase or exist?

155
00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 1: Is there a difference in misfiring that the engine is

156
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 1: actually star to misfire between drive and and overdrive? Is

157
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 1: there a change of state? All right? If you can

158
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 1: duplicate the condition and and ride into it, so to speak,

159
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's happening. You can you can duplicate

160
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:19,679
Speaker 1: this this stutter, I'll use your word. If you tap

161
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 1: the brake pedal while you're you know, two footed, tap

162
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 1: the brake pedal, pretend you're from Florida, Okay, while you're

163
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 1: holding it on the gas, tap the brake pedal. Does

164
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:36,960
Speaker 1: the stutter go away when it drops out of overdrive? Okay? Yeah,

165
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,320
Speaker 1: I haven't. I haven't tried that one. Yeah, I know,

166
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 1: I know when it starts stuttering. If I tap the

167
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:44,960
Speaker 1: gas pedal a little bit more, then it smooths right

168
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 1: out right. But then as soon as I get two

169
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:49,680
Speaker 1: of that speed, since I get to constant speed on

170
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 1: a straight away, it's great. It's not there again. Oh

171
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:56,439
Speaker 1: it does start doing it again, Okay, and it comes

172
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:59,559
Speaker 1: back after after I hit the gas pedal a little bit,

173
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 1: it'll go away. But then as soon as I stopped,

174
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 1: you know, doing that and just get to a constant speed,

175
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 1: it starts coming back again. So then you know you've

176
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 1: got a broke vehicle. All right, I'm not worried about

177
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 1: whether it's got a check engine light or not. I

178
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 1: want to know what conditions it's under. Everybody gets a

179
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 1: sore throat on Monday, but the flut doesn't hit him

180
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:21,680
Speaker 1: until Wednesday, So Monday the computer is thinking about it.

181
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:24,200
Speaker 1: By Wednesday, the check engine light popped on. And that's

182
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:26,439
Speaker 1: what's going on here. Either you haven't driven it long enough,

183
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 1: or it's just the right conditions, or it's not going

184
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 1: to be a check engine light related issue. Remember check

185
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 1: engine lights only come on for something that's going to

186
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 1: affect emissions. Keep that in mind. All right, a check

187
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:43,320
Speaker 1: engine light, go ahead, go ahead, I'm sorry, Can I can? I?

188
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 1: Can I get it checked? Can somebody check it out

189
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:48,680
Speaker 1: without the engine light being on. Sure won't check it? No,

190
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 1: I would. Why wouldn't they? I know I had another

191
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:54,559
Speaker 1: car that had the A B S light on in

192
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 1: the slippery you know, saying attraction control, and they said, well,

193
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 1: the engine light not on vehicle. But Randy. You want

194
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 1: to hear the story about Randy. You want to hear

195
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:06,839
Speaker 1: the story about how I broke my daughter's car home

196
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 1: from Pittsburgh last week because the knuckleheads that changed the

197
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 1: oil couldn't get the sticker on right, the belly pan,

198
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 1: all the screws in it, and it's got a noise

199
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 1: in the rear like a wheelbearing or a differential, and

200
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 1: I was concerned about taking it back to them for service.

201
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 1: You know, just because somebody owns a repair shop doesn't

202
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 1: mean they're good at what they do, all right, And

203
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 1: there's a lot of good guys out there, and there's

204
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 1: a lot of knuckleheads out there. And in fact is

205
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 1: that you can diagnose anything you can plug in. As

206
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:34,440
Speaker 1: a matter of fact, on a lot of oil changes,

207
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 1: we plug scan tools in at the shop. Sometimes we charge,

208
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 1: sometimes we don't. It depends on the car, depends on

209
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 1: the complicated depends on what the customer wants. But it's

210
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 1: a point of check engine lights, showing me what's good.

211
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 1: We'll always tell me what's bad. Tell me what's good,

212
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 1: tell me what works on this truck. And that's the

213
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:52,559
Speaker 1: point I'm trying to get to. If you, if you

214
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 1: would try a couple of those things I suggested nowhere,

215
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 1: No whether or not it's got a pending fault. Listen,

216
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 1: it could have a hending fault code transmission related. But

217
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 1: because you drive around it or drive through it per se,

218
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 1: it never runs. It never the problem never occurs long

219
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:13,959
Speaker 1: enough for the fault to happen. Where I think this

220
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 1: is going, it's one of two things. It's either it's

221
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 1: an engine issue or a transmission issue. If it's really

222
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 1: there and it's not sound, and you have to clarify

223
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:23,319
Speaker 1: that in your head by your own admission, whether or

224
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 1: not the tailpipe itself is you know, creating so much

225
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 1: noise that you can't hear it. Okay, What I want

226
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 1: you to do is is it sound or is it

227
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 1: a sensation? If it's if it sound, fixed the tailpipes.

228
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 1: If it's a sensation, does tapping the brake while the

229
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:43,320
Speaker 1: problem is happening causing it. The dropout of overdrive cause

230
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 1: an immediate change of state, an immediate response. If it does,

231
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 1: what's the difference in data stream? What's changing? If the

232
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 1: engine is running consistent in the same fuel trim doesn't change,

233
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:57,719
Speaker 1: No misfire counts. Everything looks correct, and we'll go through

234
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 1: the basics, grounds, battery terminals, all the obvious stuff that

235
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:03,720
Speaker 1: we would do on a visual. I would think about

236
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 1: torque converter chatter, and there's a couple of ways to

237
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 1: handle that. How clean is the trans fluid? When was

238
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 1: the fluid service last. There's some friction modifiers you can

239
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:15,840
Speaker 1: add to the fluid to try. I'm not saying it's

240
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:18,840
Speaker 1: it's it's a fix, but if it creates a state

241
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:20,679
Speaker 1: of change, you know where you're going. I know you

242
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 1: don't want to hear the fourteen year old vehicle might

243
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:24,719
Speaker 1: need a trans overhaul, but I'm just trying to give

244
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 1: you some options for diagnosing it. Do those things called

245
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 1: me back, and I promise when you do, I'll have

246
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 1: the MIC one right out of the gate zero nine zero.

247
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:49,439
Speaker 1: The car doctors coming back right after this. When you

248
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 1: get keep Ron's number hand eight five five five zero

249
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 1: nine zero zero for when you really need advice on

250
00:12:56,840 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 1: your car. Here's Robber. Let's see Mike on headphones on

251
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 1: it sounds as good? Is it working right this time? Tom?

252
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 1: It must be I can't hear Tom. Sounds good to

253
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:13,320
Speaker 1: me just checking out. Actually, actually it sounds to me

254
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:16,080
Speaker 1: it's you, So it doesn't sound good. Tom. You know what,

255
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:17,959
Speaker 1: in thirty years, I don't think I've ever done that.

256
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:20,560
Speaker 1: So hey like that, there's a first that's that's just

257
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 1: too funny. It was funny because I'm sitting here staring

258
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 1: at it, going something's different, and you know, and you know,

259
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:28,959
Speaker 1: the really funny part is I didn't want to tell

260
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 1: you this because the pressure was on. We won two, three,

261
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 1: four or five. I think the numbers like nineteen. We

262
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 1: we we started in nineteen affiliates between last week and

263
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 1: this week, and I was gonna start to count them

264
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 1: out and recognize them. Maybe they don't maybe they don't

265
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 1: want to be associated with us anymore. Because of h

266
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 1: we made a heck of an impression, so we we

267
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 1: sure did. They won't forget us anytime soon. And for

268
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:53,319
Speaker 1: those listening who don't know, Ron is in the studio

269
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:55,320
Speaker 1: in the bat Cave I'm working out of my home

270
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:59,080
Speaker 1: studio to produce the show with COVID protocols. So between

271
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:01,320
Speaker 1: the two of us, there's owned to be something we

272
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:03,720
Speaker 1: we and you know, we actually been pretty good Tom,

273
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:06,360
Speaker 1: not the patalcels on the back. But it's been a

274
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 1: it's been a good seven eight months run because we

275
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:10,840
Speaker 1: just haven't had too many things go wrong. That and

276
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 1: a lot of things could go wrong. So anyway, let

277
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 1: me do what I do best. Yeah, I know, I'm sorry.

278
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 1: Let me do what I do best. Let me get

279
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 1: over to stand in Minnesota forty eight Ford tractor a

280
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 1: six vault wants to make it run like twelve Stan.

281
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 1: Welcome to the car doctor, sir. What's going on? Yeah?

282
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:28,680
Speaker 1: I run that's six votle tractor in wintertime. My jumper

283
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 1: with twelve volves starts schooling and it runs good. But

284
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 1: I take two jumpers open because I'm worry I'm going

285
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 1: to burn the coil and the condenser and the regulator

286
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:41,680
Speaker 1: and the Yeah, it's not it's not great for it.

287
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 1: I mean, you can convert a six vault tractor. As

288
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:46,400
Speaker 1: a matter of fact, this is a this is a

289
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 1: big kind of side hobby for a lot of people.

290
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 1: Now a lot of people are still running their six

291
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 1: vault tractors and they're converting them to twelve Now, you know,

292
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 1: is this is I'll say it like this stand. Is

293
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 1: it a show piece? I mean the plant show this.

294
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 1: You know this is a real working tractor. It's a

295
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:07,640
Speaker 1: working tractor. So you know, there's there's companies out there

296
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 1: that actually make kits that will sell you what you

297
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 1: need in the way of a replacement generator, an alternator. Uh,

298
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 1: you know, the correct ignition coil if it needs it,

299
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 1: the bulbs, if it's got any bulbs mounted on it,

300
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:22,600
Speaker 1: because you can't run a twelve volte a six volt

301
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:24,520
Speaker 1: ball on a twelve vault system. You'll burn it out,

302
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 1: all right, Yeah, you would burn the ball about because

303
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 1: you're you're you've got higher voltage um. Yeah, I don't

304
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 1: care about the ball, right, So I don't care about you,

305
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 1: and I don't care about the generator either. Well why not.

306
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 1: What's what's going to charge the battery? Well, what I

307
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 1: do is that you know, I, after Paul, I put

308
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 1: a battery charge. Run. If it's slow and a charge

309
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 1: of battery, you know, in theory, the ignition coil will work.

310
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 1: It depends on which coils in a Most six volt

311
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 1: coils will actually accept a twelve volt. A twelve volt system,

312
00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 1: you might have about to put a ballast resister on

313
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 1: at the lower the voltage, but uh, you know, I guess,

314
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 1: I guess. Stan, Now we're gonna start to you know,

315
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 1: pick it apart and kind of do it the wrong

316
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 1: way even though it works. You know, one of the

317
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 1: things I would also just just because of the age.

318
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 1: And it's not because you're running twelve voltes instead of six,

319
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 1: but I would just be mindful. You know, what kind

320
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 1: of shape is the wiring and wiring harness original or

321
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 1: have you updated it over the years. It's original, so

322
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 1: you know, most six voulte wiring harnesses were very heavy gauge,

323
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 1: and twelve volte systems won't draw much through it. So

324
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 1: it's it's the the gauge of the wire will handle

325
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 1: the the voltage. It's just that is the harness brittle

326
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 1: and getting older and if you continue to use and

327
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 1: I only mentioned that just because it's you know, if

328
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:45,520
Speaker 1: it's a forty eight, it's you know, it's close to

329
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 1: seventy years old, give or take. You know, you wanna

330
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:51,760
Speaker 1: you know, think about you know, maybe upgrading the harness.

331
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 1: What do you use it for a plow vehicle? I

332
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 1: see you? So you know? And how big? How how

333
00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 1: big of an area are you plowing? I'm not a

334
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:05,640
Speaker 1: real big just most most in the yard. Okay, So

335
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 1: if you don't, my main consurance it would have burned

336
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:11,639
Speaker 1: the coil and the points and a condenser. Have you

337
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 1: been doing it that way for the for the in

338
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:16,800
Speaker 1: recent past? Well, I don't want to run along. I

339
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:18,880
Speaker 1: just get a jumper and started and I just connected.

340
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:22,119
Speaker 1: I'm worried about burning you know, condensed? Are you just

341
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:25,639
Speaker 1: using you just use a twelve volt battery to jump it? Yeah?

342
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 1: Well then I'm a little confused. And you shouldn't you

343
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:32,880
Speaker 1: shouldn't want a jump, But I'm a little confused. What's

344
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 1: so you're you're running it off of a six vault

345
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:38,360
Speaker 1: battery you jump or the six with the twelve? Yes,

346
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:40,200
Speaker 1: but i'd like to but I would like to keep

347
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 1: the twelve in. Okay, So then just go just go

348
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:45,920
Speaker 1: buy a kit. That's my point. That's what I'm trying

349
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 1: to say. Yeah, okay, we're gonna no, you can google

350
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:52,280
Speaker 1: it convert a six vault tractor or six volts charging

351
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:55,480
Speaker 1: system to twelve. You'll see a ton of information come up.

352
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:58,440
Speaker 1: You know, all the necessary components. But like I said,

353
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 1: this is a big I want to say hobby, but

354
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:03,480
Speaker 1: this is a big deal for the last couple of

355
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 1: years because they're finding that the older tractors with no

356
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 1: computers on them last and work a whole lot better

357
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:10,760
Speaker 1: than the modern day stuff. So yes, you can do it,

358
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 1: very simple, step by step instructions are out there. Good

359
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:15,680
Speaker 1: luck to you. Stand I'm runing any in the car doctor.

360
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:43,920
Speaker 1: I'll be back right after this. Welcome back, run in

361
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:47,440
Speaker 1: any of the car doctor. At five zero zero. Let's

362
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 1: go over to Matt and Ohio and let's see what's

363
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 1: going on. Matt. Welcome to the car doctor, sir. How

364
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 1: can I help? Hey, Ron, thanks for taking my call.

365
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:58,159
Speaker 1: You're welcome, Thanks for waiting so patiently. I have a

366
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 1: two quick questions, one about pressure and one about RUSS prevention.

367
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 1: UM I have two fifty and the oil gage is

368
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:12,600
Speaker 1: like after it warms up about five minutes, it just

369
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:15,960
Speaker 1: jumps around like crazy. But I've been driving the truck

370
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:19,359
Speaker 1: around and there's there's no other problems other than that.

371
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:22,200
Speaker 1: It's just the oil gauge. And so I was planning

372
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:24,960
Speaker 1: to put um oil pressure. I was trying to get

373
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:29,679
Speaker 1: the actual oil pressure. UM. And with an oil pressure gage,

374
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:33,200
Speaker 1: like an actual oil pressure gage, what kind of numbers

375
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:36,159
Speaker 1: should I be looking for? Well? Let me, yeah, let

376
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:40,280
Speaker 1: me ask you this are you seeing? Are you seeing? Um?

377
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:44,679
Speaker 1: What what engine is this? Eight? Yeah? Yeah? You know,

378
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 1: so five eight should see somewhere between thirty and sixty

379
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:50,679
Speaker 1: p s I at two thousand rpm, you know, and

380
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:53,359
Speaker 1: you'll see a drop lower obviously at idle you know

381
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:56,320
Speaker 1: what's minimum you're probably gonna see. You might see eight

382
00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:59,920
Speaker 1: to ten, ten to twelve, um. You know. The real

383
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:03,439
Speaker 1: question is does it actually have oil pressure? You know,

384
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:05,400
Speaker 1: I have a little I have a couple of concerns here,

385
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:08,640
Speaker 1: and maybe I'm answering this wrong, but a five eight,

386
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:11,440
Speaker 1: five eighths were common for a couple of things. Number One,

387
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 1: they will clogg the oil pickup screen. They will also

388
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:18,640
Speaker 1: round out the drive. There's a there's a there's a

389
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:21,720
Speaker 1: hexagonal shaped push rod for lack of a better way

390
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:23,399
Speaker 1: to say it, that comes off the bottom of the

391
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:26,520
Speaker 1: distributor and drives down into the oil pump, and the

392
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:29,840
Speaker 1: end at the oil pump will will round out, and

393
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:32,200
Speaker 1: it will cause an erratic oil pressure reading. We've had

394
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:34,119
Speaker 1: those back in the day when there were more of these,

395
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 1: so you know, yeah, I get what you're doing. Checking

396
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 1: for correct oil pressure is the absolute thing to do

397
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 1: rather than just try putting a sending unit on it.

398
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:48,280
Speaker 1: High mileage, Matt, Yeah, high mileage. But unfortunately it's only

399
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:50,879
Speaker 1: five digits, so it's it's hard to tell exactly how

400
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,400
Speaker 1: high it is. It's either like to tan or three

401
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:57,480
Speaker 1: tan or yeah, you know it because and and the

402
00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 1: and the issue will become if it does have erratic

403
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 1: oil pressure. You know, if you drive this with a

404
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:06,160
Speaker 1: mechanical gauge on it, you see oil pressure acting erratically

405
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:08,000
Speaker 1: where it's up and down, up and down, up and down.

406
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:09,960
Speaker 1: It could be that it could be the drive in

407
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:13,880
Speaker 1: the oil pump that's that's stripped out or rounded out

408
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:16,560
Speaker 1: or starting to round out. Or it could be the

409
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:18,920
Speaker 1: screen that's clogged and it's just starving for oil. Though

410
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:22,360
Speaker 1: generally as a clogged screen was more it just had

411
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 1: low oil pressure period. It just never was good, So

412
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:28,600
Speaker 1: it could be the other. Now you could get good,

413
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:31,560
Speaker 1: solid mechanical oil pressure, and at that point then it's

414
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:33,720
Speaker 1: a sender, you know, or that's where I would start.

415
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:37,480
Speaker 1: Just try and get yourself a good quality sender because

416
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:39,119
Speaker 1: a lot of the stuff you'll find out in the

417
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:41,639
Speaker 1: aftermarket world. You have to be careful. Uh, you know,

418
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:43,600
Speaker 1: I hate, I hate to say the word, but if

419
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:47,200
Speaker 1: if China made it, it's you know what what part

420
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:48,639
Speaker 1: of China? And you know there is an issue with

421
00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:53,160
Speaker 1: Chinese made parts. It's um, we see more problems with them.

422
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 1: We just try and avoid them at all costs, you know,

423
00:21:56,040 --> 00:22:00,400
Speaker 1: So just just you gotta do some testing. Second question, oh,

424
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 1: second question. Since the over the years, a lot of

425
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:07,360
Speaker 1: lots of oil has leaks down there, and as you say,

426
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 1: it's a russproof bafter, oil leaks everywhere. What would be

427
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:20,720
Speaker 1: wrong with using waste oil? Two? Rossproof cars in general? Um,

428
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:24,880
Speaker 1: the mess that will leaving the driveway number one? Yeah,

429
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:27,240
Speaker 1: and then number two if it's you know, if you're

430
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:34,159
Speaker 1: getting it on electrical wiring modules, connectors, not great, you know,

431
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:36,639
Speaker 1: I think like that it would be only on the frame,

432
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 1: like obviously not on exhaust parts. They're not on wires

433
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:42,480
Speaker 1: and stuff like that. If you're gonna go through that,

434
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 1: why don't you just paint the frame? Yeah? Because it's

435
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:52,240
Speaker 1: it's cheaper. Listen, I'm just curious. So let me ask

436
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:54,240
Speaker 1: you this question. Then, as long as we're talking about money,

437
00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:57,399
Speaker 1: what if that vehicle needs an engine, which it it might.

438
00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 1: What if that five eight needs an engine? Would sticking

439
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:05,080
Speaker 1: engine in it? Um? Now? I probably not. I'll probably

440
00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:07,000
Speaker 1: get to the five speed transmission out of it and

441
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:11,159
Speaker 1: put it in my Bronco. So does this have the

442
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:15,720
Speaker 1: creeper trans low? Low? Yeah, that's a heck of a

443
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:21,920
Speaker 1: plow truck. Matthew, it really it was it? Really? Is

444
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:26,679
Speaker 1: it kind of rotted away? Yeah? Yeah, it's it's pretty rarely.

445
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:28,480
Speaker 1: It had a really nice flat bed on it though,

446
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:33,240
Speaker 1: metal fla bed. Well, I don't know, it's someone will

447
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 1: get it though. I'll probably end up getting rid of

448
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 1: it though, when the engine is completely done. Well, And

449
00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:38,760
Speaker 1: I guess what I'm thinking about is, you know, I

450
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:42,159
Speaker 1: always look at costs, right, So you know, if you

451
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:44,959
Speaker 1: put a replacement engine in it, you know, I don't know,

452
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:47,880
Speaker 1: three or four grand, um, you know, maybe you could

453
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:51,439
Speaker 1: find a different body somewhere from a dry state, swap

454
00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:53,879
Speaker 1: the cab over. It's a farm vehicle. If the if

455
00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 1: the suspension in the chassis and the rest of it's

456
00:23:57,040 --> 00:24:01,080
Speaker 1: in good shape. You know, two weeks worth of busted knuckles,

457
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 1: you'll end up with a really nice truck. And then

458
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:05,040
Speaker 1: when you take the body off the frame, you can

459
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 1: paint everything and you know, probably make it nicer than

460
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:11,439
Speaker 1: to use it for farm work. But why not have

461
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:14,520
Speaker 1: a why not have I'm just being an advocate here, brother,

462
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:19,280
Speaker 1: why not why not have a good reliable vehicle? Just

463
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 1: saying I do I have? That would be my car?

464
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:27,240
Speaker 1: Good reliable and eat cheap on gas. This is more

465
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:33,280
Speaker 1: of it, uh, the passion thing and kicking stuff up

466
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:35,960
Speaker 1: from the store, and how long can you keep it going? Maybe?

467
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:38,280
Speaker 1: You know, one one thing I've always said, if you

468
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:40,160
Speaker 1: want to convince somebody about whether or not they should

469
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:43,639
Speaker 1: fix what they got, if they really need that vehicle, Matthew,

470
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:47,320
Speaker 1: go go price, go go price a new vehicle. Oh

471
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:51,760
Speaker 1: they're insane, sixty grand to get into the truck market.

472
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:54,960
Speaker 1: So you know, just just just something to think about,

473
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:59,359
Speaker 1: all right, kiddo, You're very welcome. I appreciate you being there.

474
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:02,600
Speaker 1: You're welcome. You're welcome. Terry Tennessee nine. Sub what's going on?

475
00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 1: How are you hearing me? I've got a ninety nine

476
00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:14,800
Speaker 1: Subaru Legacy hundred and seventy thousand small engine and about

477
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:19,400
Speaker 1: every other year it has to have the mass airflow

478
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:25,480
Speaker 1: sensor new Otherwise I get a dead spot at low acceleration.

479
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:29,000
Speaker 1: You have to punch the shottle up high to get going,

480
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:32,720
Speaker 1: and it gets a lot worse in cold weather. What

481
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:36,440
Speaker 1: kind of environment you using it in? Terry normal every

482
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:41,560
Speaker 1: day driving? Yeah, I'll talk in northern Missouri, it had

483
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 1: a lot of zero you know, good quality air filter

484
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:53,119
Speaker 1: in it. Yeah, they put it in new smoke. Uh. Well,

485
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:57,160
Speaker 1: the first shop gave up and didn't charge me anything,

486
00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:01,199
Speaker 1: and he sent me to a a foreign car shop

487
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:04,199
Speaker 1: here in the count and he and they ran a

488
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:09,040
Speaker 1: smoke test, I believe, and they said, you know, put

489
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:11,800
Speaker 1: in the mass airflow censor first, they tried to clean it.

490
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:16,360
Speaker 1: That didn't work. I fixed it for a couple of years.

491
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:23,199
Speaker 1: Do I just keep doing that? And so let me

492
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:25,639
Speaker 1: ask you this, these mass airflow sensors that you're changing

493
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:28,920
Speaker 1: every other year. I'm gonna say something. I already know

494
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:34,080
Speaker 1: the answer to new censor from Subaru. I don't know.

495
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:38,560
Speaker 1: I didn't, Yeah, I would, I would find out quality

496
00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 1: of parts. I'll tell you what Terry, stay put, let

497
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:42,520
Speaker 1: me pull over, take a pause, will continue when I

498
00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:44,479
Speaker 1: get background. Eating of the car doctor. We're back right

499
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:56,040
Speaker 1: after this. I love him back. We don't any of

500
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:59,080
Speaker 1: the car doctor. Terry. You're still there, sir, Yes, I'm

501
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:02,600
Speaker 1: still so. The thoughts that go through my mind are

502
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 1: you know when this mass airflow fails? You know what fails?

503
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:09,359
Speaker 1: Is there physical debris on the sensor or it just

504
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:12,720
Speaker 1: stops working? Do you know the answer to that one? Well?

505
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:16,040
Speaker 1: When he clean did it helped it for a little while? Okay,

506
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:18,560
Speaker 1: but really it was a waste of money for three

507
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:22,640
Speaker 1: duck talking but the whole thing and right, well are

508
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:26,480
Speaker 1: you sending right? Are you? Are you putting a new

509
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:29,640
Speaker 1: mass air in? You know? My point is a censor

510
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:31,600
Speaker 1: every two years. Listen, there's a couple of things that

511
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:34,720
Speaker 1: can happen here. Um, you know, how how well is

512
00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:37,080
Speaker 1: the air how good is the air filter? And how

513
00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:40,520
Speaker 1: well does it seal? All right? So is it a

514
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:43,720
Speaker 1: quality right? Is it a quality filter? You know, a

515
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:46,080
Speaker 1: good rubber seal around the housing? Is the housing in

516
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 1: good shape? Is there any if there's debris on the

517
00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:53,800
Speaker 1: mass airflow, it's coming from somewhere, right, It's right, we

518
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:56,280
Speaker 1: we've got to agree to that. It's it's there's dirt

519
00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:58,720
Speaker 1: coming in from somewhere. If it's getting past the air filter,

520
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:01,399
Speaker 1: the mass airflow is gonna suffer, it's gonna get coded,

521
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:03,000
Speaker 1: and it will fail in a short period of time.

522
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:07,320
Speaker 1: So that's that's like the most important, all right, number one?

523
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 1: Number two? You know, wiring going up to the censor,

524
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:12,760
Speaker 1: there's gonna be a ground there's gonna be a five

525
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:15,560
Speaker 1: vault reference, there's gonna be a signal return, and they

526
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:17,960
Speaker 1: likely put the intake air attempt sensor I believe in

527
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:22,639
Speaker 1: in the censor itself. Does anything else read out of

528
00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:25,439
Speaker 1: out of spec you know, is there a ground issue?

529
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:29,400
Speaker 1: Has anybody voltage dropped the ground connection? You know, grounds

530
00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:32,080
Speaker 1: on an older vehicle are always something to be concerned about.

531
00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:35,760
Speaker 1: That's number two, all right, And then number three is

532
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:38,000
Speaker 1: the easy one. You know, whose brand apart is it?

533
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:44,480
Speaker 1: If it's something rebuilt allegedly rebuilt, I don't see how

534
00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:47,200
Speaker 1: that's possible. I you know what, I've taken the tours

535
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:50,120
Speaker 1: of the plants, I've watched the manufacturers as Symbol Electronics,

536
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 1: and I've come to the conclusion that unless you have

537
00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:57,720
Speaker 1: the ability to test down to the nanodegree of the transistor,

538
00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:00,239
Speaker 1: of the chip, of the circuit board of the you know,

539
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:04,280
Speaker 1: it's just all they can do. In my opinion from

540
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:07,200
Speaker 1: what I've seen, and somebody proved me wrong. All these

541
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:10,440
Speaker 1: that are selling remaned censors, unless they're changing the board

542
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:15,239
Speaker 1: in the circuitry, they're testing it. It tests good. They

543
00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:16,920
Speaker 1: put it in a fresh housing, or clean up the

544
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:19,880
Speaker 1: housing and ship it. You know, if that if that

545
00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:22,520
Speaker 1: sensor had an intermittent problem. And I'm not saying that's

546
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:25,200
Speaker 1: your case, but if that sensor had an intermittent problem,

547
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 1: for example, how are they going to catch it? They're

548
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:31,080
Speaker 1: not gonna drive it, you know, seven tuesdays until you

549
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:32,680
Speaker 1: know the car acts up and it's a bed. So

550
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:38,360
Speaker 1: I get a little squeamish about aftermarket re manufactured electronic

551
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:41,240
Speaker 1: electronic sensors. They've got to be you know, new quality

552
00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:44,400
Speaker 1: stuff or from a quality manufacturer. I'm not saying they're

553
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:47,160
Speaker 1: not out there. I just get a little you know,

554
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:53,800
Speaker 1: I question it. So right, So you know, listen, I

555
00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 1: could buy a fifty dollar mass airflow censer for that car.

556
00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:59,760
Speaker 1: Un tell you it's three d bucks. What do you know? Yeah,

557
00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:03,080
Speaker 1: you know it's it's what's the quality level? And like

558
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:07,200
Speaker 1: I always tell everybody, we see something failed twice, I'm

559
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:10,600
Speaker 1: going to the vendor and saying, Okay, you know where's

560
00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:13,640
Speaker 1: the fault? Because if I'm having the problem, everybody should

561
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:16,760
Speaker 1: be having the problem. And that that also tells me

562
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:18,640
Speaker 1: is it unique to me or is it unique just

563
00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:22,320
Speaker 1: to uh you know that part that it's occurring everywhere.

564
00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:24,400
Speaker 1: So a couple of questions for you, Terry, go back,

565
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:26,360
Speaker 1: ask them you know where to find me, and I'll

566
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:27,560
Speaker 1: be glad to talk to you. We'll kind of go

567
00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 1: over it again. Let's pull over and take a pause

568
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:30,960
Speaker 1: for the cause I'm running any in the car. Doctor

569
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:47,680
Speaker 1: will be back right after this. Welcome back doctor, Walter

570
00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:50,840
Speaker 1: State College. P A. How are you today, Walter? What

571
00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:54,200
Speaker 1: can I do for you? Yeah? Good? Thanks? Um, I

572
00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:58,400
Speaker 1: have a uh yeah, two thousand and eighteen Highlander. Um,

573
00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:02,520
Speaker 1: it is not the high had one and about two

574
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:07,480
Speaker 1: weeks ago there was a potent propane smell and if

575
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:11,760
Speaker 1: you search online, everything points to the catalytic converter. It's not.

576
00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:15,600
Speaker 1: It doesn't have the eggs smell. And I searched everywhere.

577
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:17,440
Speaker 1: I took it to the shop. They said they couldn't

578
00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:21,160
Speaker 1: find it. Um I have the car back, and then

579
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:27,080
Speaker 1: I searched under the rear carpet and I also have

580
00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:31,840
Speaker 1: weather Tech floor mats, and I haven't hauled anything in it.

581
00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:34,800
Speaker 1: But I lifted up the rear to the point where

582
00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:37,280
Speaker 1: I got to the metal and there was about a

583
00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:47,280
Speaker 1: third of a court of um Excel fluid or right

584
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:53,440
Speaker 1: now where that come from? You own the Carson's new Walter. Yes,

585
00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:59,000
Speaker 1: m kind of strange. There's now there's there's no way

586
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:01,560
Speaker 1: for gear oil to get up into the passenger compartment.

587
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:04,440
Speaker 1: There's a vent, but the event is attached, right, Yeah,

588
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:08,400
Speaker 1: there's a event that's attached underneath, and you know it

589
00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:11,400
Speaker 1: doesn't enter the cabin at any point. There's no reason

590
00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:16,360
Speaker 1: for them to do that. So there's no totale signs

591
00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:20,280
Speaker 1: where this came from. Like the factory carpet even has

592
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:23,520
Speaker 1: rubber underneath it, so I mean there would be a

593
00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:29,640
Speaker 1: stain or a trail, but there is zero. You know,

594
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:31,360
Speaker 1: did you find something that was left over from the

595
00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:35,040
Speaker 1: assembly line? You know, I've seen I've seen stranger things,

596
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:39,960
Speaker 1: So let me ask you this. You cleaned it up, obviously, yes, yeah,

597
00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:42,240
Speaker 1: you know you cleaned it up, but there's still a

598
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:47,240
Speaker 1: hint to the smell of the gear. Yeah, every once

599
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:49,920
Speaker 1: in a while you'll catch a whiff of it. Well,

600
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:52,160
Speaker 1: when you when you cleaned it up, did you wash

601
00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:54,800
Speaker 1: it soap and water wash it or just wipe up

602
00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:56,920
Speaker 1: the excess and there's a little bit of residue there.

603
00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:02,800
Speaker 1: I did the wiped it up first, but then did

604
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:10,280
Speaker 1: the soap and water, and then I also used the cutter. Right, Yeah,

605
00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:12,720
Speaker 1: that's fine, and and that should work, you know, it

606
00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:14,960
Speaker 1: just might. It might. You might have the smell for

607
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:17,920
Speaker 1: a while until it dissipates. But you're doing it right now.

608
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:20,280
Speaker 1: Getting it off the bout the bottom of the carpet

609
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:23,400
Speaker 1: might be a chore because you know, once ther oil

610
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:27,080
Speaker 1: gets saturated into the rubber. You know, is that rear

611
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:32,600
Speaker 1: rubber section, that rear carpet section removable. No, because the

612
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:35,360
Speaker 1: seats are on top of it. I can reach in, Yeah,

613
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:38,760
Speaker 1: but I can reach into about how far as it goes.

614
00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:44,640
Speaker 1: As I said, yeah, it's it's got to be from assembly.

615
00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:48,320
Speaker 1: But you know there's because there's nothing there should be

616
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:51,200
Speaker 1: nothing coming in, I mean, just for the just for giggles.

617
00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:52,840
Speaker 1: Put it up in the air at the shop and Look,

618
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:55,440
Speaker 1: you know, did did they run a vent line up

619
00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:58,360
Speaker 1: inside the cabin for some reason? But I can't even

620
00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:00,880
Speaker 1: think where they would you know, somebody would have to go.

621
00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:02,440
Speaker 1: You have to go out of your way to do

622
00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:05,520
Speaker 1: it wrong, if you know what I'm saying, UM, to

623
00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:08,520
Speaker 1: make that work. So you know, clean it up the

624
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:10,480
Speaker 1: best you can. Let's watch it in the future. The

625
00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:15,040
Speaker 1: propane smell. I've had this occurrence. Um. I've investigated everything

626
00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:17,239
Speaker 1: from is it in the interior, is at the leather

627
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:20,480
Speaker 1: of the seat? Is it? Is it the catalytic converter?

628
00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:22,239
Speaker 1: And keep in mind this probably doesn't have a lot

629
00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:24,560
Speaker 1: of miles on it. If this is a cat issue,

630
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:27,759
Speaker 1: you know it's gonna be under warranty cats or eight eighty.

631
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:30,719
Speaker 1: So don't don't go paying for something that's you know,

632
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:34,879
Speaker 1: not necessarily your problem, you know. Um. The only other

633
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:38,280
Speaker 1: thing I could suggest is do you use one brand

634
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:45,359
Speaker 1: of fuel consistently? Um? Do you notice it? And there's

635
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:46,920
Speaker 1: a long shot, Walter, but I just want to leave

636
00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:49,720
Speaker 1: you with something to think about. You know, different brands,

637
00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:52,879
Speaker 1: different blends of fuel will cause different reactions to the cat.

638
00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 1: Stay with one known brand, see if the problem continues.

639
00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:58,960
Speaker 1: If the problem goes away for some reason. It's having

640
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:01,200
Speaker 1: a reaction to whatever fuel you might have been using.

641
00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:03,040
Speaker 1: Try that. Call me back. I'm running any of the

642
00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:06,320
Speaker 1: card Doctor reminding you the mechanics aren't expensive. Get priceless.

643
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:06,840
Speaker 1: Let's see you
