1
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:03,279
Speaker 1: Ron and Anian. I wonder if we're going to see

2
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:06,520
Speaker 1: more cars in the future down on the side of

3
00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:08,879
Speaker 1: the road with hoods up as a result of maintenance

4
00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:10,840
Speaker 1: that wasn't frown because people didn't know what to do

5
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:14,159
Speaker 1: with dawn outside of the road. Damn brakes locking up

6
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:21,720
Speaker 1: of the regret the car Doctor. It's gonna be a

7
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 1: case of, Hey, here's the vin here's the RPO codes.

8
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:26,759
Speaker 1: What do I need to finish putting the trailer in school?

9
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:28,320
Speaker 1: And if I've already got the harness in the in

10
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 1: the bumper. Welcome to the radio home of Ron and Anian,

11
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:36,159
Speaker 1: the Car Doctor, since this is where car owners the

12
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:40,479
Speaker 1: world overturned to for their definitive opinion on automotive repair.

13
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 1: If your mechanics giving you a busy signal, pick up

14
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:47,320
Speaker 1: the phone and call in the garage doors are open,

15
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 1: but I am here to take their calls at eight

16
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 1: five five six, and now he running you want to repair?

17
00:00:56,760 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 1: Industry is running out of things to do, at least

18
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 1: judging by the repairs I've seen are the requests for

19
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 1: repairs I've seen in the shop this past couple of weeks,

20
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 1: it seems that the conventional repair is going away it's

21
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 1: going the way of the dinosaur. Folks. It is, and

22
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 1: I can tell because everybody coming in the door. I

23
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:16,960
Speaker 1: need brakes. I was told I need breaks. You know.

24
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 1: The last guy was at he said I needed breaks.

25
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:22,120
Speaker 1: Betsy came in this week. Betsy is in her early nineties.

26
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:24,400
Speaker 1: She's still driving. God love her. It's a uh it's

27
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:28,199
Speaker 1: an O two Toyota camera and with just about thirty

28
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:30,399
Speaker 1: eight thousand miles on the odometer. She was told she

29
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 1: needed breaks, and she was concerned. Obviously, breaks her what

30
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 1: the second most important thing unless you're get to Fred

31
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 1: Flintstone in the car. So we you know, did an

32
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 1: obligatory let's do a four wheel break check, took it out,

33
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,839
Speaker 1: drove it. Yes, the brakes feel a little low, and

34
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 1: brought it in, pulled the wheels, inspected it. No, there's

35
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 1: more than enough brake pad, there's more than enough shoe.

36
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 1: The brakes were out of adjustment in the rear. It

37
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 1: had been a while, you know, in the eighteen years

38
00:01:57,560 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 1: of this car's operation, since the brakes were last clean

39
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 1: and adjusted. Something else the industry doesn't do anymore. They'd

40
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 1: rather just sell the whole job. I think. Then Paul

41
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 1: came in last week the week before he needed breaks,

42
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:12,919
Speaker 1: or I was told he needed breaks, but he didn't

43
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 1: understand why the car had twenty one tho miles on.

44
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 1: We put that car up in here, the same thing

45
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:20,640
Speaker 1: where you know, if anything, we're consistent, we're repeatable. We

46
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:24,519
Speaker 1: always repeat the process over and over again. And sure

47
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 1: enough pulled four wheels better than four to five millimeters

48
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 1: of breaks all the way around. And let me explain

49
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:32,800
Speaker 1: that a little bit. Okay, there's two things I want

50
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 1: to explain here. Number one, if it is a four

51
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 1: wheel disc brake vehicle, break roders in the front, break

52
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 1: roders in the back, calipers, et cetera, then there is

53
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 1: no adjustment. There really is no clean and adjust There's

54
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 1: no thing you're really going to do other than maybe

55
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 1: washing brake pads down, getting off whatever dust is on

56
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:56,360
Speaker 1: the exterior of whatever hardware is there. And to me,

57
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:59,639
Speaker 1: the only type of clean and adjust if we want

58
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,079
Speaker 1: to call at that on a disc brake pad is

59
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 1: find a quiet side street, back up at fifteen to

60
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 1: twenty miles an hour and smack the brakes real hard.

61
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 1: Do that a couple of times, and what you're gonna

62
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 1: do is you're gonna scuff the face of the brake

63
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 1: pad and wipe off the glaze. And then yeah, you

64
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 1: do that three, four or five times. Make sure, like

65
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:19,119
Speaker 1: I said, you've got a long enough street and there's

66
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 1: nobody around, and start driving forward and all of a sudden,

67
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 1: you're gonna go. The brakes feel better. That's because you've

68
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 1: put fresh friction against the rotor. Say that seven times, fast,

69
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 1: fresh friction, fresh friction, fresh friction. I'll cut myself lucky

70
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 1: and call it there um against the rotor. And and

71
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 1: you've helped the stopping power. It's all about coefficient of friction, right,

72
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 1: Say that's something we don't go there again. So that's

73
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 1: a discard. Now Betsy's car, that was Paul. Betsy's car

74
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 1: was a disc brake rear drum car. Remember breake drums.

75
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 1: My god, the shivers I get when I think about

76
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 1: all the brake drumps. We used to have to break

77
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 1: front brakes with brake shoes. And you know, we used

78
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 1: to have cars that pulled, right, Remember when cars the

79
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 1: brakes pulled because the front brakes were out of adjustment.

80
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 1: All the technology that's that we've kind of thrown away

81
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 1: and it's surpassed. It with newer stuff. And I guess

82
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 1: that's why I think we're running out of things to do,

83
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 1: simple things. Okay, it's you know, it's it's slowly going

84
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 1: from you need a diagnosis for an electrical issue, which

85
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,040
Speaker 1: is probably the number one thing today, to a computer

86
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 1: reflesh two engine and transmission repair, that middle of the

87
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 1: road repair, those those maintenance things that you do thirty miles.

88
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 1: They're going the way the etzel, the the you know,

89
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:44,599
Speaker 1: replaced breaks seems to be the more common thing as

90
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 1: the industry tries to generate their numbers to keep themselves going.

91
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,480
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying everybody doesn't and I'm not saying

92
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 1: it's it's but it's a concern. And both Paul Betsy

93
00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,480
Speaker 1: and a few other people this month were shocked at

94
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:00,839
Speaker 1: it and they say, you know, how do you know?

95
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 1: And I said, you don't. I said, a lot of

96
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 1: it is can be based on mileage. You know how

97
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 1: many miles are on the car. How do the brakes feel,

98
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,799
Speaker 1: does it seem like it's stopping? Are they making any noise?

99
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 1: But even that won't tell you if a break pad

100
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:17,480
Speaker 1: is close to its minimum. Let me explain something. We

101
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 1: measure breaks in millimeters. A new brake pad is roughly

102
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 1: ten to twelve millimeters thick, all right, So at midlife

103
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:30,480
Speaker 1: it's five to six millimeters thick. The death point of

104
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:32,359
Speaker 1: a brake pad, where we say okay, it's time to

105
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 1: put brakes on the car, is two millimeters thick. And it,

106
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:38,720
Speaker 1: you know, goes from this to this to that. Now

107
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:40,839
Speaker 1: if they say to you, hey, it's got four millimeters,

108
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:43,719
Speaker 1: it needs breaks or better yet, I'll talk about the

109
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 1: dealers for a minute, because they're they're they're believe me,

110
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 1: they're active in this too. The dealers are all doing

111
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 1: these colored checklists. You know you've seen them. They got

112
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 1: multi colored circles and arrows and by ten color glossy

113
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 1: pictures of everything wrong with your car. And you went

114
00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 1: in for an airbag recall, Like, what's that all about?

115
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 1: When they write three millimeters or four millimeters, that's that's

116
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:08,239
Speaker 1: a thickness measurement. Three four millimeters isn't life and death.

117
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:12,159
Speaker 1: Three millimeters isn't life and death. Two millimeters you're there,

118
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 1: so you know you're approaching it at three. My point

119
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,599
Speaker 1: is ask how thick the brake pads were, asked them, hey,

120
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:20,720
Speaker 1: did you and they said well, you know by I,

121
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 1: they were no, no, we're not doing this. By I,

122
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 1: there's actually a gauge that you can lay against the

123
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 1: rotor and measure the thickness of the brake pad. Gained

124
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 1: some knowledge because it might save you some money in

125
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 1: the long run. Break shoes. Break shoes are a different animal,

126
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 1: and typically you'll see front breaks go before rears on

127
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:40,039
Speaker 1: most cars. As a matter of fact, um you'll see

128
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:42,280
Speaker 1: like O two, three, four or five all the way

129
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 1: up through ten twelve Honda Civics. I don't think we

130
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 1: do any brick shoes on Honda Civics. They're one of

131
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:48,840
Speaker 1: they're one of the few cars out there and still

132
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 1: front this rear drump. A lot of the Civics or

133
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:53,719
Speaker 1: rear drum. We see those cars go two hundred thousand

134
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 1: miles on rear brake shoes. That's how long they last.

135
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 1: So bottom line, make sure you've got a relationship with

136
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 1: that guy. Make sure you trust that person that's telling you, hey,

137
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 1: you need breaks, and ask them casually. So I need breaks,

138
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 1: What else do I need? Or is it a slow

139
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 1: day in the shop, or how long can I go?

140
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 1: And that's the more important question. Chances are you can

141
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 1: probably go a little bit longer, at least enough to

142
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 1: go get a second opinion. Hello, and welcome Ronin in

143
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 1: the Car Doctor here at the Helm. We got a

144
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 1: lot of things going on in the next two hours.

145
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk a little bit about the car care counsel, Uh,

146
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 1: some of their things that they're talking about for a

147
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 1: healthy work drive, balance and a relationship with your car,

148
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 1: which is what you really want right for the price

149
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 1: of what a car costs you, you need to know.

150
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 1: I've got a couple of emails about Toyota, Sienna's and

151
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 1: um some comments from Hunter who wants to chime in

152
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 1: responding to my comments about parts made in China. We're

153
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 1: gonna talk about that a little bit, and we've got

154
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 1: a bunch of things going on. But right now, let's

155
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 1: do it the car Doctor likes to do best. Let's

156
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 1: kick the garage doors open. Get over to Jeff in

157
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 1: Georgia a d H Chevy Silverado. Jeff, you're on what's

158
00:07:55,480 --> 00:08:00,080
Speaker 1: going on, babe? Uh? I'm I guess I'll start at

159
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 1: the beginning. I had this aight eight Chevado. I don't

160
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 1: drive it very often. Uh, it's just like a farm truck. Uh.

161
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 1: And as at my son's house a few months ago,

162
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 1: and it wouldn't. We went to leave and went to start,

163
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 1: and I thought, well, like my gas gaze doesn't work it.

164
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 1: So I put a gallon of gas in it, thought

165
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 1: maybe it was out of gas, and it started up. Then,

166
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 1: so I went to the gas station filled up, and

167
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 1: you know, well, my whold I know it wasn't wasn't

168
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 1: out a gas. So, uh, a few days or week

169
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 1: or so later, I tried to crank it at home

170
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 1: and it wouldn't start. So, you know, I'm just started

171
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 1: trying to do some trouble sheeting, and uh, he's getting fire.

172
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:37,840
Speaker 1: I checked this spark and then I got a wire

173
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:40,679
Speaker 1: and diagram out and started checking, you know, part of

174
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 1: my fuel pump relay, and uh put a jumper wire

175
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 1: on it and made the fuel pump run constantly, and

176
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:51,679
Speaker 1: it still wouldn't crank. So well, fuel filter. It wouldn't crank,

177
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 1: or it wouldn't fire. It wouldn't. It wouldn't uh fire,

178
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 1: it wouldn't. It wouldn't crank, start up. It was thranking over,

179
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 1: but it wouldn't wouldn't start. It wouldn't start right, Okay,

180
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 1: So let me back up a second here women, Now, um,

181
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 1: when when you say it had fire, it had spark,

182
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 1: how do you know? What did you how did you

183
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:17,200
Speaker 1: test it? I have a just a little tester with

184
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 1: a light on it. Do you plug into the spark

185
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:23,119
Speaker 1: plug wire between the spark plug and the wire? Okay?

186
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:27,440
Speaker 1: Is that is that? Does that measure the amount of spark?

187
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 1: Or is it just there's a pulse there? Just the pulse?

188
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 1: Go ahead, continue okay, So I'll put a fuel filter

189
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 1: on and uh, I think you the battery was dead

190
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 1: at that point, And so I charged the battery up

191
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:44,720
Speaker 1: and went out the next day and it started up,

192
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 1: and so driven it some since then, and it did

193
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 1: this problem one more time, and then the next day

194
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 1: it would start. So then a few weeks ago, I

195
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:01,960
Speaker 1: was driving for my son's house again over some hills,

196
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:04,720
Speaker 1: you know, going up and down, and it just cut

197
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:08,079
Speaker 1: off on me, and well, you know, wouldn't start. So

198
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 1: I had it record home and we'll get it off

199
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 1: the record, and uh, and it crank's right up, always

200
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 1: does so. Then so then last weekend I put a

201
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 1: fuel pump in it, thinking maybe it was a fuel

202
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:25,200
Speaker 1: pump or the fuel regulator. So last weekend I drove

203
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 1: it to the auto park store and cut it off

204
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 1: and went in and came back out and would start.

205
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 1: So I got a ride home and went back a

206
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:34,840
Speaker 1: couple hours later, and it crank, dried up, and I

207
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:38,719
Speaker 1: drove it home. And where's where's it stand there? You

208
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:41,480
Speaker 1: haven't put a fuel pump in it? Yet? Or you have? Well?

209
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 1: I have put I have put a fuel pump, and

210
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:45,200
Speaker 1: has done this since I put the fuel pump in.

211
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 1: So so I'm looking at how the guy knows my

212
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 1: my problem. So I don't get stranded somewhere. All right,

213
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:54,840
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what you sit tight. Let me pull

214
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 1: over and and take a pause for the cause, and

215
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 1: when I come back, we'll talk about it. Right, an

216
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 1: inning of the car Doctor at your service. Don't go way?

217
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 1: What's more fun than listening to Ron and Ady in

218
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 1: the car Doctor and getting that car fixed? Right? Five

219
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:17,439
Speaker 1: five five zero zero? Give Ron a call? Now back

220
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:24,439
Speaker 1: to Ron, Jeff, you're still there, okay, So you're doing

221
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:28,960
Speaker 1: it right. I just think that you need more definitive information.

222
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:32,560
Speaker 1: So let's go get it like this all right. First

223
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 1: of all, I want you to get a spark tester. Alright.

224
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 1: I'm gonna make you spend. I think it's twenty bucks. Okay, Um,

225
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:41,439
Speaker 1: It'll look like a little spark plug with an alligator

226
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 1: clip on it, and it's it's it's a test spark plug.

227
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:48,560
Speaker 1: It'll be calibrated for high energy ignition, which is what

228
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:50,320
Speaker 1: this is h E on. But you can use it

229
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 1: on a lot of things. Or they make the ones

230
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:55,840
Speaker 1: that are like a black piece of plastic about three

231
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:57,959
Speaker 1: inches long two and a half inches long. It's got

232
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:00,559
Speaker 1: an alligator clip on one end, it's got terminal for

233
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:02,719
Speaker 1: the spark plug wire on the other end, and then

234
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 1: you can you can set it. It's it's got an

235
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 1: adjustable position on it, so you can set the spark

236
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 1: gap to replicate thirty thousand volts, forty thousand volts, fifty

237
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:18,560
Speaker 1: sixty so on. Because you can't judge spark in atmosphere

238
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,439
Speaker 1: and consider it the same as when it's pressurized in

239
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:24,920
Speaker 1: a cylinder. It just doesn't work like that. So I

240
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:27,080
Speaker 1: I think you've got spark, but I just want to

241
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 1: be sure because I have seen the problem that I'm

242
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 1: going to talk about. Do just what you're describing to me,

243
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:35,440
Speaker 1: and I want to eliminate it as a possible a

244
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 1: possible cause so you know, any auto parts store, if

245
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 1: you've gotta, you gotta, you got a local Oraillyoto parts. Yeah, yeah,

246
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:45,839
Speaker 1: just jump into an Oraillyoto Parts. They'll have a spark, plug,

247
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:48,559
Speaker 1: gap tester. Uh, they'll probably have I think k D

248
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 1: at the time. I remember I still have my KD set.

249
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:53,320
Speaker 1: They had a standard ignition one and a high energy

250
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 1: ignition one. You know, might you might spend forty bucks.

251
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,439
Speaker 1: I'm dating myself, but so maybe they're a little more.

252
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 1: But you know what, they're good because if you're if

253
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:03,319
Speaker 1: you're on a farm, a piece of farm equipment stops

254
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:05,720
Speaker 1: spark a spark from vehicle to vehicle. You can use

255
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:08,959
Speaker 1: them on everything, all right. It's it's it's so it's

256
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:12,080
Speaker 1: it's got universal approach, all right. So let's get spark

257
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 1: out of the way. I like the fuel idea. You

258
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:18,559
Speaker 1: don't have a fuel pressure gauge, do you? Uh No?

259
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 1: And that that throttle I didn't have a right. You

260
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:26,840
Speaker 1: have to go into it where the fuel filter is.

261
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:33,600
Speaker 1: So when this doesn't run, all right, when this doesn't start,

262
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 1: the thing I would like to see is and you know,

263
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:39,720
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you, hey, can you hear the fuel pump? Prime.

264
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:43,120
Speaker 1: Can you hear the fuel pump? Prime? Jeff? Do you so?

265
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 1: You can? You can hear it prime, but you don't

266
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:50,280
Speaker 1: know if it's really running while you're cranking it right? Fair, fair,

267
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:55,199
Speaker 1: fair statement. You can't hear it over the engine cranking. Correct? Okay,

268
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:59,120
Speaker 1: So why don't we find the hot lead going to

269
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 1: the fuel pump and wire in a bulb and you

270
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:06,360
Speaker 1: can put that bulb anywhere on the truck you could.

271
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 1: You could, you can mount that bulb in the cab.

272
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 1: You could put it in the pickup bed if it

273
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 1: has a pickup bed or a steak body. Whatever this

274
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 1: is it's farm vehicle. So this way you can look

275
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:17,200
Speaker 1: at it. You turn the key on, and you know what,

276
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 1: it will help you understand and realize just what's going on.

277
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 1: You turn the key to crank, that bulb is gonna

278
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 1: light up, uh for two seconds. And then if you don't,

279
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 1: if you don't engage the starting and you just turn

280
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 1: it to on, not crank, I'm sorry, on not crank,

281
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 1: you'll see that bulb light for two to three seconds.

282
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 1: That's you know, that's that that's pulse. It's it's priming

283
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 1: the pump and it didn't see ignition so it won't

284
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 1: or it didn't see tax signal, so it won't cause

285
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 1: the pump to run. Now you crank it, the bulbs

286
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 1: should light up again, telling you the pump is running.

287
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 1: You're with me, now what what I'm what I'm what

288
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 1: I'm trying to slowly get The long way around is

289
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 1: it's either fuel or spark. It could be a computer issue,

290
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 1: which would be not common. The only thing I can

291
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 1: tell you you can try is because you don't have

292
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 1: any you don't have a scan tool. I'm assuming you

293
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 1: don't have a scan tool, right, Jeff, I have an

294
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:13,080
Speaker 1: O B D two, but this is O B D one, right.

295
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 1: This is old school stuff. So what what you can

296
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 1: do is one of the best barometers of is the

297
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 1: computer alive. Doesn't tell you if it's good, bad, working,

298
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 1: or doing what it's supposed to do. But one of

299
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 1: the best tools is is the computer alive. Turn The

300
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 1: key to the omposition is the check engine light on

301
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 1: check check engine lights let the computers awake. Because the

302
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 1: request for check engine light or the the driver for

303
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:39,400
Speaker 1: check engine lighter or mill lamp as we used to

304
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 1: call it, that drivers in the PCM PCM is awake

305
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 1: it's turning on the lamp. As long as the engine

306
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 1: is not running. Now, it may go out over a

307
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 1: period of time. Vehicles are different. You know, we're we're

308
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 1: trying to look at a broken card to the side.

309
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 1: HEYTI that light beyond all the time? Or will it

310
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 1: fade away after five seconds? My guess is it's going

311
00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 1: to fade away after five seconds. And that's just the

312
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 1: PCM doing what it's programmed to do. So I don't

313
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 1: think that's a bad thing if it does that, all right.

314
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 1: But the first question is when it goes into this

315
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 1: no start, does this vehicle you know, keion engine off,

316
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 1: and you know the key's been off for more than

317
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 1: ten seconds, keion engine off, doesn't light up the mill,

318
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 1: doesn't light up the check engine light? All right, mills,

319
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 1: by the way, is malfunction indicator lamp. I'm being fancy today, okay,

320
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 1: So um, last thing and and and this is what

321
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 1: I really want you to pay attention to. All right.

322
00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 1: You know, if if spark looks weak, it's got fuel

323
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 1: pressure or fuel pressure as cock guide. It's it's funny

324
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 1: in the way it's it's coming to you know, exists.

325
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 1: You're not sure that bulb lit full capacity or is

326
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 1: the bulb sporadic in its operation? Going back to the

327
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 1: fuel pump, and remember we've we've also got a ground

328
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 1: leg uh feeding that fuel pump, So we want to

329
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 1: consider that maybe we want to add a redundant ground

330
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 1: just for now, just to be sure. And I'm just

331
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 1: offering that as a possibility. Do we have a bad

332
00:16:56,040 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 1: distributor pick up? Six said, and eight nine the two

333
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:05,200
Speaker 1: thousand's and not so many the two thousands, But boy,

334
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:08,440
Speaker 1: you are right in the sweet spot, brother, all right?

335
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:13,719
Speaker 1: Of of I'm sorry, not two thousand is what I'm thinking. Um,

336
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:16,800
Speaker 1: you are right in the sweet spot of a bad pickup.

337
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 1: And not not the pickup coil, not the not the module,

338
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:26,200
Speaker 1: not the magnetic pole piece, but the reluctant, the piece

339
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 1: that's riveted to the distributor shaft that's spun around, all right.

340
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:34,679
Speaker 1: Uh so much so that when people call me and

341
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:36,280
Speaker 1: tell me we talked about it at the shop and

342
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:38,199
Speaker 1: they say, hey, I put a reman distributor in it,

343
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 1: I wouldn't trust it because I tell you this, the

344
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:44,480
Speaker 1: only way you know, unless you're gonna scope it, to

345
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:46,879
Speaker 1: look at the signal coming out of that reluctant feeding

346
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:49,720
Speaker 1: the pickup coil feeding the trigger is you're gonna take

347
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:52,360
Speaker 1: the distributor apart, drive the rollpin out of the out

348
00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:54,359
Speaker 1: of the gear, pull the shaft out. Make sure you

349
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:57,280
Speaker 1: index everything. I always I always scribe a mark where

350
00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:59,200
Speaker 1: the gear was, so I was indexing the shaft to

351
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:01,440
Speaker 1: the gear. I can put it back together the same way.

352
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:07,640
Speaker 1: Pull that, pull that reluctant, that centerpiece out. It's riveted together.

353
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:11,399
Speaker 1: If it's cracked around the rivets, that reluctance bad, and

354
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:14,879
Speaker 1: it's it's it's causing the cracks interrupt the magnetic field

355
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:17,200
Speaker 1: and affect how to pick up coil operates and it

356
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 1: does just what you're describing. Take a look at that.

357
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:21,400
Speaker 1: Think of those things. Call me back if you need more.

358
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 1: I'm running. Any of the car doctor will be back

359
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:45,400
Speaker 1: right after this Blocome back n any of the car doculuts.

360
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:47,440
Speaker 1: Get over to Boston and talk to Hope. There's Hope

361
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 1: in Boston. Ha ha ha ha oh wait Taurus, Hope.

362
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:55,720
Speaker 1: How can I help you today? Brother? Yes, sir, good morning, Good?

363
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 1: What's going on? I think I beat off more than

364
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:01,280
Speaker 1: I can't chew Right here, I was trying to do

365
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 1: a water pump on our for oy torus. And the

366
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:08,040
Speaker 1: way these these engines are designed is the chain is

367
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 1: driving the pump. Correct Uh, same thing as the flags

368
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 1: and caz or stuff. So long story short, I put

369
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,479
Speaker 1: it apart, valve covers over that nine yards. You know,

370
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 1: hating comes apart and go to the pump. Put it apart.

371
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:25,359
Speaker 1: But here's a problem. Is it never aligned when I

372
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 1: turned the pully the crank pulling. I turned it like

373
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:33,440
Speaker 1: twenty seven times because the left calm, the right calm

374
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:36,800
Speaker 1: and the crank have to align on the pink chain

375
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:40,680
Speaker 1: knobs to be you know, right on TDC the top

376
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:44,280
Speaker 1: the turn. So I turned the twenty times in two

377
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:47,720
Speaker 1: degree whether on a Sunday evening. I gave up, and

378
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:51,000
Speaker 1: the last time I did it it was off by

379
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,080
Speaker 1: two teeth. I turned it one more time that night

380
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:56,360
Speaker 1: and it was off two teeth on the right, two

381
00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 1: teeth on the left, two teeth on the bottom. The

382
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:05,199
Speaker 1: calm law were pretty much on the spot, So I

383
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 1: think it was off like maybe degrees because if it's

384
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:15,440
Speaker 1: too sprockets off. Um. I was thinking that the computer

385
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:18,480
Speaker 1: will compass it for that degree when I put it back,

386
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:22,520
Speaker 1: but I got tired of turning it and give up.

387
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:26,240
Speaker 1: So what happened was I put in the water pump,

388
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:28,080
Speaker 1: in all the specs, you know, I was using all

389
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:31,160
Speaker 1: data and make sure. But the problem I run into

390
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:33,199
Speaker 1: these two programs is they don't even tell you to

391
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 1: move the engine. I think they're trying to assume that

392
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:38,560
Speaker 1: you can work with what you have with the engine

393
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:42,400
Speaker 1: is in the car. Having done this job, I think

394
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:44,520
Speaker 1: the engine has to come out for you to be

395
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 1: easy enough to access the firewalls, spot plugs. You know.

396
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:50,959
Speaker 1: It's a v shape ority, you know, crazy working with

397
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:53,240
Speaker 1: this engine. I mean, I've never done this. I mean

398
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 1: I don't do that. You know, I didn't go to

399
00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:55,879
Speaker 1: school for this stuff. So I just do it on

400
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:59,560
Speaker 1: the side. Credit credit credit for credit for trying right,

401
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 1: look at look at what you're learning. But so the

402
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:05,240
Speaker 1: problem is they wanted to cloud the law. So I

403
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 1: had to put it back real quick and long story short,

404
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 1: I left the two sprockets two sprockets left, right and

405
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:13,880
Speaker 1: bottom the way they were took off the chain, put

406
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:16,879
Speaker 1: on the pump, put it back, put on the evolve covers,

407
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:21,080
Speaker 1: all that nine stuff, and now it's misfiring right right,

408
00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:23,680
Speaker 1: because it's off. It's off. It's off at the chain

409
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:26,880
Speaker 1: where it's driving the camp or the other ends. So

410
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:30,600
Speaker 1: my question to you is two, depending on what you

411
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:32,960
Speaker 1: taught me, is it easier to throw in another engine

412
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:35,560
Speaker 1: or put it apart again and aligne in the old

413
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:38,159
Speaker 1: fashioned way. Now everyone tells you to turn that crunk.

414
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 1: What if you're twenty seven times and it doesn't align.

415
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:44,560
Speaker 1: I mean it's heavy tanning that thing. Well, and I've

416
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:47,719
Speaker 1: never done at the turn method. I've heard of this

417
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:49,639
Speaker 1: where you're turning into so many revolutions that you're going

418
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:53,200
Speaker 1: to get the lineup that right? Yeah, I get that. Um.

419
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:55,720
Speaker 1: The way I've done that job and the way we

420
00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:57,960
Speaker 1: continue to do that job is you just and I

421
00:21:57,960 --> 00:21:59,639
Speaker 1: know you're not gonna like this answer, brother, but you

422
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:01,320
Speaker 1: gotta have the tools. You gotta have the tools to

423
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 1: lock the cams in place. Yeah. I did have the tools.

424
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:06,200
Speaker 1: I did have the tools, but again I just stopped

425
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:08,440
Speaker 1: on the two sprockets because I tell you so many times,

426
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 1: I go, Tad, it was too cold. So so you've

427
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:16,840
Speaker 1: got the two uh tools that bridge over the top

428
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:19,440
Speaker 1: of the cam that locks cam straight. So I looked

429
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 1: it on the two sprockets like you know, I stopped

430
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 1: on the two because I couldn't tell it anymore. I

431
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:26,960
Speaker 1: fear was if I could tell it, it would miss

432
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:30,800
Speaker 1: align again and be off by five teeth on the

433
00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:33,240
Speaker 1: left right on the bottom. And I said, well, two

434
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:36,280
Speaker 1: teeth might composite, the computer might come no compate, it's

435
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:37,880
Speaker 1: got it's got it. It's got to be on the mark,

436
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:42,360
Speaker 1: all right there, that's where right, So it's it's got

437
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:44,280
Speaker 1: to be on the mark or it's not going to compensate.

438
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:47,080
Speaker 1: You know, we we we do them in the car,

439
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:49,920
Speaker 1: so we don't pull the engine. I seen guys pull

440
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:51,480
Speaker 1: the engine. I'm not saying it's the wrong way to

441
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:53,199
Speaker 1: do it. We've done enough of them. We do them

442
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 1: in the car that it's it's it's not an issue.

443
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:58,119
Speaker 1: It can be done. I guess you can do it

444
00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:00,439
Speaker 1: both ways. It's obviously it's easier at the engines right

445
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:02,680
Speaker 1: in front of you, maybe because it's your first time,

446
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:04,560
Speaker 1: and maybe somewhere along the way the first one or

447
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:06,440
Speaker 1: two we pulled the engine to do it. I have

448
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:09,840
Speaker 1: to think back. It's fifteen years ago. Uh, this generation

449
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:12,919
Speaker 1: water pump. But you know it can be done in

450
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:15,160
Speaker 1: the car. It's if you've got the tools to lock

451
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:17,800
Speaker 1: everything in place. But I mean you need everything. I

452
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 1: just went through this with a repair shop around the

453
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:21,919
Speaker 1: corner from us. They attempted to do this without the

454
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:24,760
Speaker 1: tools and turned out it was the boss's wife's car,

455
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:28,560
Speaker 1: and um, you know, after three days of that, the

456
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:30,640
Speaker 1: mechanic working on it called me up and he said,

457
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:32,399
Speaker 1: do you think do you have I said, yeah, I

458
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:36,440
Speaker 1: got those tools. He said, could I borrow? I'm sure? Uh? Um,

459
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:38,400
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, the boss's wife wants her car back.

460
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 1: I said, well, let's see, let's see we can get

461
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:43,399
Speaker 1: you out of trouble. So uh you know, it's just

462
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:46,840
Speaker 1: you gotta follow procedure. Hope, it's and you gotta go

463
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:48,840
Speaker 1: and you gotta go through with the tools. Otherwise you're

464
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:52,000
Speaker 1: just gonna you're gonna end up where you are. So

465
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:54,320
Speaker 1: is then a fighthion way to do these without turning

466
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:56,840
Speaker 1: that crank? I mean getting the you know, roc arms

467
00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:59,280
Speaker 1: or whatever. You know? Do we need the old what

468
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:01,880
Speaker 1: you used to do without? You know, everyone says time

469
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:04,000
Speaker 1: to crop until everything lines up, but you know, and

470
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:06,080
Speaker 1: then you pull the spot plugs. The thing is the

471
00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 1: spot plugs one, two or three facing the firewall, so

472
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:12,359
Speaker 1: it's not clearance there. Really, Well aren't you? Aren't you?

473
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:14,960
Speaker 1: Well wait a minute, how are you? How are you

474
00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:17,399
Speaker 1: using the special tools on the cams if you're not

475
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 1: pulling the valve cover? You know you put the valcos off?

476
00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:22,920
Speaker 1: Of course, how are you? But how are you pulling

477
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 1: valve covers without getting the intake plan of more? Are

478
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 1: you pulling the intake plan of everything goes off on

479
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:34,240
Speaker 1: the top everything you put everything off, everything comes off

480
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:39,120
Speaker 1: on the left end anyway to be accessible. So, but

481
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:41,879
Speaker 1: that's the problem I run into. So I guess the

482
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:45,879
Speaker 1: question showed us you know, whatever is I have to

483
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:50,320
Speaker 1: do this again? I guess right, But is there a

484
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:52,640
Speaker 1: way to do with you know, the old way of

485
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:55,480
Speaker 1: maybe getting those phases out? I guess the phases have

486
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 1: to come out again? I mean, how where can I

487
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 1: get this information? Because old data of Mitch did not

488
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:04,000
Speaker 1: you know, everyone told you turn that crunk and they're

489
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:07,159
Speaker 1: and they're they're going, you know the Ford spec. All

490
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 1: they're doing is repeating the forward procedure should do this?

491
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:12,960
Speaker 1: Have you been to YouTube? Yeah, I've bed YouTube. But

492
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:15,359
Speaker 1: there's one guy who pulled the engine. Now you know,

493
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:17,680
Speaker 1: having done this one time, I think it was better

494
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:20,520
Speaker 1: that we're looking at the clearances and engine mounts and

495
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:25,479
Speaker 1: all that stuff. But I don't even have a lift anyway. Well,

496
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:27,960
Speaker 1: but you know, have you found anything on YouTube to

497
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:30,639
Speaker 1: give you a visual presentation and here's how we're lining

498
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 1: it up. The only thing I found was the passion

499
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:35,760
Speaker 1: who pulled it out and he did a good job

500
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:39,560
Speaker 1: of you know, putting those phases out left, com right,

501
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:41,920
Speaker 1: calm and the bottom, you know, putting the chain off,

502
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:43,800
Speaker 1: and you know he did. You know, that was the

503
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:48,359
Speaker 1: only details video I saw. But with all data and

504
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:50,119
Speaker 1: mitcha all they are telling you, you know, pull the

505
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:53,000
Speaker 1: money folds off or whatever, and then they say, you know,

506
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:55,679
Speaker 1: pull the water pump. They don't go into you know,

507
00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:58,280
Speaker 1: I don't know where that information is. I know it's

508
00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:01,439
Speaker 1: kind of world school because everything has changed today. When

509
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:06,520
Speaker 1: they said Toyota or track or whatever. You know, that's

510
00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:09,280
Speaker 1: the problem I'm running into. Um it was setting before,

511
00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 1: but you had the pump is sus So I thought

512
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:15,400
Speaker 1: I could know, so here do this do this? Why

513
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:18,440
Speaker 1: don't you Why don't you go out and and retrieve

514
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:21,879
Speaker 1: some information right from the Ford database? I believe, and

515
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:23,680
Speaker 1: I could be wrong. It's been a while since I've

516
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:27,080
Speaker 1: done this, but I believe you can purchase from Ford

517
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:30,679
Speaker 1: a subscription on a on a three day basis if

518
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:34,679
Speaker 1: I'm not mistaken, and you know, log in and get

519
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:39,199
Speaker 1: the same dealer information that the dealer has, and you know,

520
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:41,800
Speaker 1: right from the Ford's website. Why don't you try researching that.

521
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:46,280
Speaker 1: I'm kind of surprised the YouTube video thing doesn't work

522
00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:50,520
Speaker 1: because I've seen YouTube videos for things that I listen,

523
00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:52,199
Speaker 1: I needed. I was trying to figure out how to

524
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:54,239
Speaker 1: get my fawcett my kitchen sink to work at home

525
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:56,159
Speaker 1: because it's an automatic wave your hand in front of

526
00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:59,040
Speaker 1: it with the sensor thing. Noya a YouTube video for that.

527
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:00,520
Speaker 1: So I'm kind of surprised. Is they don't have a

528
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:03,480
Speaker 1: YouTube video for putting a timing chain on one of these? Yeah,

529
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:05,679
Speaker 1: I mean, everyone puts the video out there and when

530
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:08,080
Speaker 1: the thing is already open, you know, all the nice stuff.

531
00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:12,720
Speaker 1: I mean, well, but listen, listen, watch what. I don't

532
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:14,720
Speaker 1: care if the engines inside in or out of the car,

533
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:17,640
Speaker 1: all right, I mean, you'd have to make the adjustment

534
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:20,159
Speaker 1: for how you're gonna do it if you leave the

535
00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:22,560
Speaker 1: engine in the car, But at least then you understand

536
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:26,080
Speaker 1: you don't necessarily crank the chains around. You can preload

537
00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:28,640
Speaker 1: the chain against the tension or leave the slop where

538
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:30,400
Speaker 1: you have to leave the slop. That's what I'm trying

539
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:31,960
Speaker 1: to get you to see by looking at the YouTube

540
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:34,959
Speaker 1: video because those details that they're not there. I mean

541
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:39,560
Speaker 1: I looked at you know, well, like specifics of you know,

542
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:42,000
Speaker 1: everyone would time it fine, there was the poorly and

543
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 1: then they'll show you all right left bottom a line,

544
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:48,359
Speaker 1: all right, go, you know, and but what if it

545
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 1: does not and you have to keep on, you know,

546
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 1: cranking that thing until that's the I'm having, Like, Okay,

547
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:57,360
Speaker 1: you have to do it with that step he's done

548
00:27:57,359 --> 00:28:00,320
Speaker 1: all another wolf doing it not not only where it's

549
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:02,840
Speaker 1: either it's either doing it from scratch and just setting

550
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:05,600
Speaker 1: everything up using tools, or it's cranking around. And those

551
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:09,280
Speaker 1: are the only two ways I understand it to be done. Yeah,

552
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:12,200
Speaker 1: all right, it sounds like maybe you're you're just unfortunately

553
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:13,760
Speaker 1: you if you do need to pull the engine at

554
00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:16,359
Speaker 1: this point, you don't have that capacity. Maybe it's time

555
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:18,720
Speaker 1: to uh to get it over to somebody that can

556
00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:21,680
Speaker 1: and get them to repair. You know, I've done it once.

557
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:26,840
Speaker 1: I don't think I want to very bad. I don't know.

558
00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:29,679
Speaker 1: It's a very bad design understood, and a lot of

559
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:31,960
Speaker 1: them are like that. Hope, let me run. Okay, I'm

560
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:34,400
Speaker 1: up against the clock. But I wish you well, my friend,

561
00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:38,320
Speaker 1: and I hope hope things work out for you. Zero

562
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:43,600
Speaker 1: the Car Doctor is coming back right after this welcome back.

563
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:45,760
Speaker 1: Weren't any of the car Doctor And I'll tell you this,

564
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:47,360
Speaker 1: And I don't know if Hope is still listening. We

565
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:53,040
Speaker 1: hope Hope still listening. Ever, I'll make sure and and

566
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 1: I hope no no pun intended that you're using the

567
00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 1: Ford part in that tours all right, because there's just

568
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:02,800
Speaker 1: there's there's no reason not to to. Uh, you know,

569
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:06,400
Speaker 1: a motocraft piece, whether it's you know, new for Motocraft

570
00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:08,480
Speaker 1: or new from four which I think is probably the

571
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:11,400
Speaker 1: same thing for that generation vehicle. Um, but yeah, that's

572
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:12,960
Speaker 1: not something you want to use a cheap part on

573
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:14,640
Speaker 1: because you don't want to do that job twice. But

574
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:18,080
Speaker 1: I I think you already know that. I think, uh,

575
00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:20,960
Speaker 1: I hope Hope learned that. So at the doubling ten,

576
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:24,520
Speaker 1: let's let's go over to David and Iowa. David what's

577
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:26,280
Speaker 1: going on, David, Welcome to the car doctor, sir. How

578
00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:29,040
Speaker 1: can I help? Hey? Thanks a well, let me hear

579
00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:35,120
Speaker 1: my second. I got one of them. Alright, Hey, I

580
00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:37,680
Speaker 1: got an idea I wanted to share with it. Just

581
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:40,360
Speaker 1: kind of a blank corner run across my head. You know,

582
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 1: we're always talking about this gas if you're the cars,

583
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:45,760
Speaker 1: all the technology that we had to know about our

584
00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:49,200
Speaker 1: automobiles and stuff. Do you see anything in the future

585
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:53,040
Speaker 1: where we could use just electricity? You know, we can

586
00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:55,200
Speaker 1: make it right here where you know, we got plans

587
00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 1: out here, you know, all over the place, you know,

588
00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:00,440
Speaker 1: and they produced a lot of electricity, and they score

589
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:03,080
Speaker 1: a lot of it. And if this goes across the

590
00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:07,680
Speaker 1: United States wherever it's that okay, why couldn't we put

591
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:11,280
Speaker 1: something in the road with the technology we have that

592
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:14,320
Speaker 1: these cars could decide where it wants to go without

593
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:18,400
Speaker 1: have an un accident or current off or whatever. And uh,

594
00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:21,800
Speaker 1: we could just you know, God, we'd be out. We

595
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:26,920
Speaker 1: would probably uh and that's about it. You know, we

596
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:30,040
Speaker 1: wouldn't have the word about you know what. You know what, David,

597
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:33,720
Speaker 1: I think I think in a reality where we left

598
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:36,920
Speaker 1: a motion and opinion out of it. I think the

599
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:40,800
Speaker 1: idea of an all electric vehicle nation would survive, But

600
00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:44,200
Speaker 1: unfortunately I don't think that's the case. We've got a

601
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:47,320
Speaker 1: society that doesn't want to look at reality in terms

602
00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:49,080
Speaker 1: of what we really need to do, and we don't.

603
00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:51,760
Speaker 1: We don't do it. By that, I mean, can you

604
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:55,240
Speaker 1: imagine tomorrow, David, tomorrow, or ten years from now, and

605
00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:58,960
Speaker 1: what is the time frame? Right? But somewhere along the

606
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:01,960
Speaker 1: way we decide, hey, we're going all electric. What are

607
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:05,400
Speaker 1: you gonna do with the gasoline industry, oil petroleum based industry?

608
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:07,760
Speaker 1: What are you gonna do in an economy that's that's

609
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:12,280
Speaker 1: that's based on internal combustion engines at this point, and

610
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:20,040
Speaker 1: thermone energy to come up. But even if we run

611
00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:22,920
Speaker 1: out of you know, we're setting on a big right

612
00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:28,440
Speaker 1: here well and and and and the and in the

613
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:31,000
Speaker 1: grandest scheme of things. Yes, sir, I understand that. But

614
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:34,640
Speaker 1: my point is I don't see an all electric vehicle

615
00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:37,360
Speaker 1: world for a long time to come. It won't be

616
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:39,200
Speaker 1: in my lifetime. I don't think it'll be in my

617
00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:41,959
Speaker 1: kids lifetimes and their kids lifetimes. It's it's it's a

618
00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:45,640
Speaker 1: long ways away. I just don't see it. I think

619
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:47,560
Speaker 1: right now, I think we're kind of kidding ourselves that

620
00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:50,280
Speaker 1: we're really making an honest effort to do that because

621
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:53,600
Speaker 1: of well, let's just say I think we could. Um,

622
00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:55,600
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's for us to get to be

623
00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:57,760
Speaker 1: Star Trek. We're gonna have to be like Star Trek.

624
00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:00,960
Speaker 1: And you know where money doesn't exist, it doesn't exist

625
00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:02,760
Speaker 1: in the twenty three century. And that's how long it

626
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:07,160
Speaker 1: might take. Five zero nine zero. David has always appreciate

627
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:08,880
Speaker 1: the comments Ron and any of the Car Doctor. We're

628
00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:15,560
Speaker 1: back right after this Welcome back, we're in any of

629
00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:17,440
Speaker 1: the Car Doctor. Let's do some email, which I want

630
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:19,400
Speaker 1: to get done so we can next day and maybe

631
00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:21,440
Speaker 1: hit the phones a little harder. Hey, Ron, my neighbor's

632
00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:23,720
Speaker 1: got a two thousand eleven Toyota Highlander. The key fop

633
00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:25,760
Speaker 1: stopped working. He's changed the batteries and he put them

634
00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:29,480
Speaker 1: in correctly. There's no change, and he thoughts Frank from Pennsylvania, Um, yeah, Frank,

635
00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:31,960
Speaker 1: does he does he have a second remote? The easiest

636
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:33,440
Speaker 1: thing to do is if he has a second remote,

637
00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:35,360
Speaker 1: does the second remote work? And I'm going to assume no,

638
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:38,480
Speaker 1: because you probably would mention probably won't be writing the

639
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:40,240
Speaker 1: email if it works. So, but I just want to

640
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:42,320
Speaker 1: mention that everybody else's benefit. We always tend to forget

641
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:44,400
Speaker 1: about that second remote that's sitting at home in our

642
00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:47,000
Speaker 1: jewelry box collecting thus because we haven't used it in

643
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:50,280
Speaker 1: seven years. So uh, change the battery, good step. UM.

644
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:53,720
Speaker 1: The other question I've got is it only UM that

645
00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:56,720
Speaker 1: the fob doesn't lock or unlock? Does it remote start

646
00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:58,720
Speaker 1: the vehicle to any of the other functions work? Maybe

647
00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 1: it's a bad button on that up? Have you tried

648
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:04,920
Speaker 1: anything else? Sometimes remote starts our access to so on. Last,

649
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:11,400
Speaker 1: key fobs are generally tested through tire pressure sensor tools.

650
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:13,680
Speaker 1: All right, every repair shops got one. It's a it's

651
00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:16,640
Speaker 1: a matter of I believe because tire pressure sensors are

652
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:20,520
Speaker 1: done bluetooth wirelessly, that we have the ability in the

653
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:24,120
Speaker 1: TPMs tool to test key fobs wirelessly. So it would

654
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:26,120
Speaker 1: be a question or a matter of getting ahold of

655
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:28,920
Speaker 1: a repair shop going in and I'm sure maybe they'll

656
00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:30,760
Speaker 1: do it for free. Maybe it's if it's their regular

657
00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:33,240
Speaker 1: repair shop. Maybe there'll be a small diagnostic fee. I

658
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:36,360
Speaker 1: can't imagine it being much, but just to try and

659
00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:40,640
Speaker 1: access um, you know, the center. It's a matter of

660
00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:43,720
Speaker 1: squeezing the sensor and they look for a signal readout

661
00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:47,200
Speaker 1: on the TPMs tool. No signal, got a bad key fop.

662
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:50,520
Speaker 1: It's not impossible, but like I said, double check. I

663
00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:53,080
Speaker 1: would double check with the neighbor. Do they have a

664
00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:56,280
Speaker 1: second key fob. A lot of people forget and by

665
00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:58,800
Speaker 1: the blank look stairs I get on the faces of

666
00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:00,800
Speaker 1: people they go, oh, I got one of those. I

667
00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:04,240
Speaker 1: never thought about that. Um So just just just words.

668
00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:06,680
Speaker 1: Other Wise, Hey, the Car Care Council is talking about

669
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:08,759
Speaker 1: we need to maintain a healthy work drive balance, which

670
00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:11,560
Speaker 1: I agree with. This came out recently in January, the

671
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:14,160
Speaker 1: fact that commutes to work are longer than ever. According

672
00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:16,799
Speaker 1: to the most recent US Census, the average commute time

673
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:19,759
Speaker 1: is up since the Census began tracking this back in.

674
00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:22,200
Speaker 1: The more time we spend on our cars, the more

675
00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:24,440
Speaker 1: important it becomes to make sure our vehicles are comfortable

676
00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:26,440
Speaker 1: in safe places to be. And that's according to the

677
00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:29,280
Speaker 1: nonprofit Car Care Council. They've got a number of tips

678
00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:31,359
Speaker 1: for commuters to help ensure their chips to and from

679
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:34,960
Speaker 1: work are enjoyable, among them changing the cabin air filter. Obviously,

680
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:37,240
Speaker 1: we want to breathe clean air. You want to maintain

681
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:39,640
Speaker 1: the vehicle safety systems, and you want to make sure

682
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:42,200
Speaker 1: to keep in mind that a clean car makes a

683
00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:45,360
Speaker 1: happy car and ultimately a happy driver. So if uh,

684
00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:47,279
Speaker 1: there's no room in the car, maybe you want to

685
00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:49,840
Speaker 1: clean it. You'll feel better about being there. More information

686
00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:51,880
Speaker 1: you can find that a carcare dot org. I'm not

688
