1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,120
Speaker 1: Ron and Nannian. He's the kind of guy that walks

2
00:00:02,160 --> 00:00:03,960
Speaker 1: into a room when you've got a fire going, and

3
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:06,600
Speaker 1: he'll tell you, hey, the fireplace needs to be cleaned

4
00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:08,600
Speaker 1: because there's just a little bit of smoke in the room.

5
00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:10,240
Speaker 1: And he'll be the one guy that notices that, where

6
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:12,760
Speaker 1: most people will just say that's normal, it's a fire.

7
00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:20,360
Speaker 1: Every time I got the Car Doctor, I don't know

8
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:22,720
Speaker 1: why they do it, but every snowplow guy I've ever

9
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:26,440
Speaker 1: seen also ties into that ground for the snow plow,

10
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:29,479
Speaker 1: and sometimes they don't exactly tighten it. Welcome to the

41
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 1: the garage door was open, and let's go over and

42
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:07,279
Speaker 1: talk to Michael in Illinois, Chevy with a crank no start. Michael,

43
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 1: You're not on the side of the road and you're stuck,

44
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:10,680
Speaker 1: are you? I mean, this is in your driveway. It's

45
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 1: a crank no start, right, Michael, Michael, Yes, yes, sir?

46
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 1: Are you there? Yeah? I can hear me, Yes, sir,

47
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 1: Now I can. Mikey, Mikey here had a he got excited.

48
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 1: He had a piece of cake for lunch, and it

49
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 1: was just he was He's a chocolate cake fanatic and

50
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 1: he just you know, he just he was overloaded by all.

51
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 1: I gotta push a button. What am I paying you

52
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 1: guys in there for? Um? Uh, You're not stuck on

53
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 1: the side of the road, right, this is in your

54
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 1: driveway where I assume it's a crank no start. Yeah,

55
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,519
Speaker 1: tell me about it. What's going on? Yeah? So it

56
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 1: started a couple of months ago. Um, it would start fine,

57
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 1: unless it was raining out or it had been raining

58
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 1: earlier in that day. That would not start for anything. Um.

59
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 1: But on the next Driday it would start right up. Um.

60
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 1: Then it gets started giving me more and more trouble.

61
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 1: And then one day it through a P zero three

62
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 1: at me. So I researched out a little bit replaced

63
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 1: the distributor, the cap, the rotor, ignition coil, all the plugs,

64
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 1: all the players, put any battery in it. After I

65
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:16,080
Speaker 1: did all that, it started right up, just fine. I

66
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 1: was wanted it for probably a half hour. Idled it,

67
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 1: read it up, drove it around town. It was it

68
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 1: was perfect, and then I haven't been able to get

69
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 1: it started down. Um. Now sometimes when I try to

70
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 1: start it, um, because it sounds like it just almost

71
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 1: wants to turn over, but it's just not. But occasionally

72
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 1: it'll sound like the engine stops rotating for just a

73
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 1: second and then it starts rotating right back up again.

74
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 1: So it's it's it's it'll crank and then all of

75
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 1: a sudden, it just like you release the key and

76
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 1: then it continues to crank. Yeah, and you obviously you

77
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 1: don't let off the key. You you you're you're right

78
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 1: there with it in a sense. Yeah. I just keep

79
00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 1: going and it will only be about a second and

80
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 1: then a little starts spinning again, like normally do you

81
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 1: do you have access to a scan tool? Mike, Yes,

82
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 1: I have one of those little cheap ones off the Amazon. Um. Yeah,

83
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 1: and you're saying it's it brought you up at P

84
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 1: zero three hundred right now, are there any fold codes

85
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 1: in it? Um? There are not now. No, the P

86
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 1: zero three hundred went away. Um. And then I scanned

87
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 1: it for codes again when it was running in that

88
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:26,600
Speaker 1: one time I got it to run, and it's right

89
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 1: now not throwing any code to that. Man. You got

90
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 1: a fuel pressure gauge, I do. Yeah, I hooked that up. Um,

91
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 1: it's given me sixty two p s I initially, and

92
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:39,720
Speaker 1: then after a couple of seconds it drops down to

93
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:45,159
Speaker 1: about forty five. And then it holds that for fifteen minutes,

94
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:49,720
Speaker 1: twenty minutes. Uh probably, I mean I've only I've only

95
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 1: left the key on in that position. It was maybe

96
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 1: five minutes, but it held steady there. Well, well, no,

97
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 1: you should be able to, you know, hook the gauge up,

98
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,280
Speaker 1: turn the key on without even cranking it, and there

99
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 1: should be a prime from the pump. It should prime

100
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 1: the rail, all right, Yeah I can't hear that. Yeah, okay,

101
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 1: and then and then the pump will stop and it

102
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 1: should hold what we call residual fuel pressure across the rail.

103
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,600
Speaker 1: You know, there's an argument in the industry here from

104
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:21,920
Speaker 1: time to time. Some guys say twenty four hours. Some

105
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:25,159
Speaker 1: guys say eight hours. Ron says twenty minutes. Twenty minutes

106
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:27,280
Speaker 1: is close enough. Of course, she was and hand grenades

107
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 1: and I and I say that for a pile of reasons.

108
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna get into here, but you know, twenty

109
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 1: minutes to a half hour you should see some form

110
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 1: of residual pressure. It should hold it for at least

111
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 1: fifteen minutes. Especially on an older vehicle. You know, the

112
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 1: concern becomes, what are you gonna start chasing? Uh, you

113
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 1: don't want to chase too much. If if you turn

114
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 1: the key off and pressure drops like a stone, then

115
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 1: we've got a fuel problem in that. And this this

116
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:55,719
Speaker 1: should be Is this a three fifty? Is this the

117
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 1: three fifty five point seven lead our motor? Yeah? Okay,

118
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:01,920
Speaker 1: so and this has that, this has the spider web

119
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 1: under the intake planum and they're prone to leaving sticking

120
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 1: one of the poppets open such that it will cause

121
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 1: a drop in fuel pressure. And I'm just trying to

122
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:16,360
Speaker 1: be as exact as I can because I'm thinking about

123
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 1: your's it cranks funny comment, you know, is it? Do

124
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 1: I have it? Do I have a poppet valve filling

125
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 1: a cylinder with fuel that it goes into a mild

126
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 1: case of hydrostatic lock. Right, can't compress liquid? Yeah? All right,

127
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 1: so you know, I want to know what residual fuel

128
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 1: pressure does next, what's going on with spark? Don't assume

129
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 1: because everything is new or most of this is. No,

130
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:47,040
Speaker 1: it still has spark. You know now that it doesn't start.

131
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,159
Speaker 1: Let's check for spark. Let's let's pull the wire off

132
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 1: the coil from the distributor and does the coil put

133
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 1: out spark? Yes? Or no? Alright, I have not checked that. Yeah,

134
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,839
Speaker 1: let's go back to basics. If if if this truck

135
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 1: was putting your driveway and you didn't know any history

136
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 1: of anything that was done to it, how would you

137
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 1: diagnose it? Fuel, spark, and mechanical Right, hook up your

138
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 1: scan tool, bring up engine RPM and look at it.

139
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 1: Crank the car, turn the key, cranked the engine. If if,

140
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 1: if this were a healthy vehicle, you should see an

141
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 1: RPM signal on the scan tool in they were capable

142
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 1: of generating cranking rpm. If if you don't, then we've

143
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 1: got to have an additional conversation next week talking about

144
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 1: how to diagnose a potentially bad crank sensor. Okay, right,

145
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:56,240
Speaker 1: so just you know, that's where I would go with this. Um,

146
00:07:56,600 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 1: I've seen a lot of bad new part arts and

147
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 1: a lot of ever since and ever since, it just

148
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 1: became that it was something else in reality, got you, Okay, okay,

149
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 1: So let's uh, let's let's attack it like that. Okay, alright,

150
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 1: sounds good. All right, So let's let's let's go look

151
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 1: at you. Very welcome. You look at those things, and

152
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 1: you call me back and I'll be glad to help

153
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 1: you again. You're welcome, Michael, you take good care. Let's

154
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 1: go to Bob and Maine. Bob, welcome to the car doctor, sir,

155
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 1: how can I help? Hey? Ron? How you doing today? Good?

156
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 1: What's going on? They? I just wanted to get the

157
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 1: word out. I called your emailed you last week about

158
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:41,560
Speaker 1: my fore got a five liter V eight. I noticed

159
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 1: this time around that I have been consuming over a

160
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 1: quarter of oil and list than three thousand miles. So

161
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 1: since I since I emailed you there last weekend, I

162
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 1: think it was Sunday, I did a little research. You

163
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:57,559
Speaker 1: got online, cut got on some forums and I guess

164
00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:03,479
Speaker 1: there is a TSB on the for five to eighty

165
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 1: and there is Ford's admitted to excessive oil consumption and

166
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 1: the k s B number is one nine dash two

167
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:14,960
Speaker 1: zero five eight And um, I guess a lot of

168
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:18,840
Speaker 1: guys from what I've talked of been the Ford and um,

169
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,439
Speaker 1: they've been putting them through this protocol in his TSB

170
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 1: and uh if they burn less than a court in

171
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:30,319
Speaker 1: three k uh, they will not replace the motor. If

172
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 1: it is over one court in three k they'll put

173
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:35,440
Speaker 1: a brand new long block in it. Right. Yeah, because

174
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:39,840
Speaker 1: there's actually there's actually an updated bullet into that also. UM,

175
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 1: I know, I know it has nineteen three. It came

176
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:47,839
Speaker 1: out may have this year. Um, and yeah they are

177
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 1: they are doing some oil consumption tests or I know

178
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 1: it is a different bullet the number. I don't know

179
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:55,440
Speaker 1: if it's new or older than yours. Um, but yeah,

180
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:58,720
Speaker 1: they're they're they're aware of it. I've heard of it. Um.

181
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:02,719
Speaker 1: I'm not sure what they did wrong, what's going on,

182
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 1: what makes them want to do that? But uh, yeah,

183
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:07,840
Speaker 1: I went, I went on a couple of forums, and

184
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 1: I guess when they started to revamp the definitely fifty

185
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 1: and eleven, they got rid of the five four, went

186
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:18,320
Speaker 1: to the five oh with the aluminum block and from

187
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:20,560
Speaker 1: what I can understand, they were running steal sleeves in

188
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:23,840
Speaker 1: the cylinders for the pistons, and then I guess an

189
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,200
Speaker 1: engineer got a bright idea, let's go with the plasma

190
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 1: coated solder instead. And from what I've seen on forums,

191
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:32,560
Speaker 1: I guess a lot of guys are saying that the

192
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 1: rings aren't seeding and that's why they're burning this oil. Yeah,

193
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 1: and I guess some dealers have been really good with guys,

194
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:42,560
Speaker 1: others not so good. And um one guy said he

195
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:45,320
Speaker 1: was burning over two quarts in five k. He was

196
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:47,960
Speaker 1: changing his oil every five thousand miles. But I guess

197
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 1: Ford aware of it, just wanted to get the word out.

198
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:54,839
Speaker 1: Any guys that have that five week or the eighth

199
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:56,960
Speaker 1: they might want to contact the deal and keep an

200
00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:00,200
Speaker 1: eye on their oil. Well yeah, that and here's a ace.

201
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 1: We're having a relationship with the guy that sold you

202
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:06,559
Speaker 1: the car. The dealership in this case is good because, uh,

203
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 1: you know, if you bring it to their attention, I'm

204
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 1: sure they'll take care of it. And you know they

205
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 1: realized that, Yeah, they realized it's yeah, no, I talk that. Yeah,

206
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:15,959
Speaker 1: the right here in town where I live. I purchased

207
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:17,680
Speaker 1: the truck right here for the dealer in town where

208
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 1: I live. And they've been really good and they're aware

209
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 1: of it. They did some they looked up town the

210
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 1: TSB and then we're gonna do the oil consumption test.

211
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:29,559
Speaker 1: I'm going in July two for the oil change. It's

212
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:33,439
Speaker 1: that truck's only got nine thousand miles on it, and uh,

213
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:35,679
Speaker 1: they're gonna do the oil consumption test. And it was

214
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 1: pretty reassured by the head mechanic. If you know, if

215
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 1: it doesn't pass, they will put a new long block

216
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 1: in no problem. Yeah, good. Are you gonna Are you

217
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 1: gonna tow with this truck at all? Bob? Uh? I

238
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:48,840
Speaker 1: welcome to the Car Doctor, sir. How can I help? Yeah,

239
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 1: we're on. I got a a B S light to

240
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 1: spend on for quite a while and I finally took

241
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 1: it to just a local place and uh, and they

242
00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:59,560
Speaker 1: said the centre was back of most band that goes

243
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 1: on the back differation when we put it on, and

244
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 1: I didn't fix it, so it started started checking wiring

245
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 1: and stuff, and and then the process of hend blogged

246
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:13,520
Speaker 1: the wiring harness and was checking to see about power

247
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 1: and whatever while the field bumps on that too. So

248
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 1: they ran out of gas. We plugged it back in,

249
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:21,839
Speaker 1: started back up let around. Well, I am blood to

250
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:23,480
Speaker 1: do some more check in and it ran out of

251
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 1: gas again naturally, so then plugged it back in and

252
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:31,560
Speaker 1: and just kind of ran out of time and gave

253
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 1: up for that day. But now now it's got a

254
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 1: miss in it and check engine light comes on, and

255
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 1: so I don't know what they well, yeah, I feel

256
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:46,520
Speaker 1: your brother, I'm sorry. Um, let's back up. Let's go

257
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 1: back to the A B S S. You do you

258
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 1: remember the trouble code? Was it a five dred or

259
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:53,480
Speaker 1: fifteen oh two or something like that? Now I don't

260
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:59,280
Speaker 1: I don't know. Does the spenometer work? Yes, okay, so

261
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 1: the pome it works. But the A B S lights

262
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:03,200
Speaker 1: on and the check engine lights on, and it's got

263
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 1: a miss to it. Yeah it does. Now before we're

264
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:12,559
Speaker 1: just an ABS light. Uh, this is not good. And

265
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:16,200
Speaker 1: then didn't get this check engine stuff until they unblogged

266
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 1: me and ran out of gas a couple of times.

267
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 1: Now that's related, I don't know. Well, no it's not.

268
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 1: But why is it running out of gas? Does the

269
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 1: gas cage work? Well? Yeah, but see he unbluged the

270
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 1: wiring harness, was doing some check them with a nomemeter

271
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 1: or whatever to see if it was getting power, you know,

272
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 1: just shooted back to the sensor in the in the back.

273
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 1: So so yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm gonna have to

274
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:44,440
Speaker 1: keep working on other twenty years. We've got a new

275
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 1: sensor on and that didn't do any good. Wait wait,

276
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 1: wait a second, let's go back to the gas thing.

277
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:54,760
Speaker 1: So you know, before he disconnected the guests sending unit

278
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 1: to look at how does he how did he just

279
00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 1: how did he disconnect the guests hank sender and not

280
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 1: disconnect the fuel pump? How does the truck keep running? Well,

281
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 1: I'm assuming it wasn't fuel pump because then wiring r

282
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 1: em did undid the whole wiring artist the plug ins. Okay,

283
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 1: was checkings, checking to see about power. Have you been

284
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 1: to this guy before? Well yeah, but it's a it's

285
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:22,680
Speaker 1: a local guy, I mean, and they're they're good boys

286
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 1: that they're not really I shouldn't have winn we got

287
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:30,040
Speaker 1: dollars for that for that, for that, but I did,

288
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 1: and now it's too late now, you know. So I

289
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 1: guess part of this conversation has to be is I

290
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 1: sort of need to know what codes I'm fighting. I

291
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 1: don't mean, yeah, so I can you get that for

292
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 1: me and call me back next week. He just told me.

293
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 1: He just told me through a code that said it

294
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 1: was the said it was the back you know, the

295
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:56,200
Speaker 1: back sensor, and that's why they replaced it. But then

296
00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 1: get you ever get an earache? Nick, all right? And

297
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 1: you go to the doctor and he says you got

298
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:05,480
Speaker 1: an ear ache, He doesn't put an ear on your right.

299
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:09,760
Speaker 1: There's there's always there's always something that caused that ear ache,

300
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 1: whether whether you know it's it's so, there's no there's

301
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 1: no trouble code that when it's there, it means that

302
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 1: part needs to be replaced. About the only time you

303
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 1: run into that on a modern car is if it

304
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 1: has like a P zero six oh one, which is

305
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:31,440
Speaker 1: an internal module failure on the vehicle computer. And boy

306
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 1: n nine percent of the time a six oh one

307
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 1: on any vehicle leads to a module. It just does. Well,

308
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 1: after you got all that other stuff done and put

309
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 1: the scanner back on it, it's got it's got three

310
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 1: it's got three deals on Now I want to miss

311
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:55,600
Speaker 1: some kind of a module, but there's three on there,

312
00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 1: and he can't play them off to you know. Just

313
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:03,280
Speaker 1: but anyway, when he when he put that sensor on.

314
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 1: You know, they had some of the scan of thing

315
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 1: that that they tested in the and the two A

316
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:12,440
Speaker 1: B S in the front they are working, but need

317
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:16,560
Speaker 1: neither one of them in the back arm. So so

318
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:19,280
Speaker 1: whatever we've got, so we've got no signal out of

319
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 1: the rear A B S I guess would be right now.

320
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:26,000
Speaker 1: And and now whenever I put the brake on, it

321
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:28,399
Speaker 1: makes that. I suppose it's at a B S pump

322
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 1: taking a hand or something. You know, the pedal vibrates

323
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:36,040
Speaker 1: right and I and I usually you have to press

324
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:37,399
Speaker 1: on it pretty hard to get it to do that,

325
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 1: but now it doesn't take a whole lot of pressure.

326
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:45,480
Speaker 1: And I'm getting that the B S light is still long. Yeah, Okay,

327
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:48,919
Speaker 1: here's what we're getting. Here's what we want to do. Right.

328
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:53,920
Speaker 1: Do we still have the old part, yes, but but

329
00:17:54,119 --> 00:18:00,159
Speaker 1: they broke it getting it out. Okay, here's what I

330
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:03,159
Speaker 1: want you to do with them. Write everything down as

331
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:07,119
Speaker 1: far as codes, clear all the codes. Take it for

332
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 1: a ride, what comes back. Diagnose that the A BS

333
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:15,760
Speaker 1: problem is likely not related to the engine performance problem,

334
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 1: unless it has something to do with the wiring harness

335
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:22,040
Speaker 1: at the fella unplugged and started picking apart. Do those steps.

336
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 1: Call me back next week we'll dive into this a

337
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:26,159
Speaker 1: little deeper. Come on any in the car doctor. We're

338
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:38,520
Speaker 1: back right after this. Welcome back, We're on any of

339
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:40,440
Speaker 1: the car Doctor. Let's get over to Jerry and New York. Jerry,

340
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 1: Welcome to the car doctor. Sure, how can I help everyone?

341
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:48,480
Speaker 1: My call? I have a seven and I'm throwing some

342
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 1: codes with a hemy is so like, uh it sounds

343
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:59,000
Speaker 1: like a song. Uh dropped the bounce peak three uh nine?

344
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:05,680
Speaker 1: Three uh one, four oh one, four to five? Yeah?

345
00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 1: Um yeah? Did did these all come up at once? Jerry?

346
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:14,240
Speaker 1: It was just one day they were not there and

347
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:15,879
Speaker 1: then when they all of them came up at once,

348
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 1: and it just started happening, right, This all started happening.

349
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:23,520
Speaker 1: But I thought at one time of with loll on oil,

350
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:26,480
Speaker 1: I thought that was a problem, but clear to codes

351
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:30,080
Speaker 1: and it just all came back again. You know, I've

352
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 1: seen this as a as a multiple system failure per se,

353
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:37,200
Speaker 1: and this this has to do with this has um

354
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 1: mds on it. The um UM where it'll go from

355
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:47,240
Speaker 1: four to eight cylinder mode correct correct, Yeah, And you

356
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:51,679
Speaker 1: know when it's just one fault code it's usually the solenoid,

357
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 1: and I don't want to everybody to just jump on

358
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:55,720
Speaker 1: and start changing just solenoids every time it's one. There's

359
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 1: a process you can go through, you know. I've I've

360
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:02,560
Speaker 1: seen in some cases why ring harness issues, which is

361
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 1: kind of tough to deal with because you end up

362
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:07,560
Speaker 1: putting a wiring harness in the engine compartment. But a

363
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:11,719
Speaker 1: lot of times this becomes a PCM, the powertrain control module.

364
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 1: And if you were to read a float chart for

365
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:18,399
Speaker 1: each individual code, you'll notice that they talk about checking

366
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:21,120
Speaker 1: for powering grounds and you know, they kind of walk

367
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:25,600
Speaker 1: you through for uh consistency of the harness. You know,

368
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 1: what they're setting it for. What their concern is is

369
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 1: the soloid for number six, let's say, is it shorted?

370
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 1: Is it shorted or open? Is there a short to ground?

371
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:36,200
Speaker 1: What's going on with it? So they want to walk

372
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:38,920
Speaker 1: you through wiring harness tests pin by pin. Have you

373
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:43,360
Speaker 1: done any of that? Not yet? No, I just trying

374
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:47,240
Speaker 1: to do some more research on you know, the whole

375
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:51,879
Speaker 1: like form would go off by once right, so you know,

376
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:54,600
Speaker 1: I I know from the code you gave me its

377
00:20:54,640 --> 00:21:00,520
Speaker 1: cylinder six, it's cylinder four, is it cylinder to sold

378
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:04,440
Speaker 1: one and sold seven. So we'd have to look what's

379
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 1: the relationship with those. I'd almost be willing to bet

380
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:11,760
Speaker 1: that's half the that's that's the half that shuts down

381
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:14,880
Speaker 1: in four cylinder mode or is active in four cylinder mode.

382
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:17,760
Speaker 1: You know they they're gonna split two on each side

383
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:22,719
Speaker 1: from from the shutdown. So one in seven sounds right

384
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 1: because they would be opposite relation crank up top dead, Uh,

385
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 1: they would be opposite of the others. Where the pistons

386
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:33,400
Speaker 1: are in their stroke. They've got to balance. They can't

387
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:35,040
Speaker 1: shut down the right side of the motor and let

388
00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 1: the left side run. It wouldn't work. They have to

389
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:39,479
Speaker 1: shut it down in relation to where the pistons are

390
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:42,159
Speaker 1: on the crank, and whether whether the pistons up or

391
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:45,119
Speaker 1: down one and seven and four and eight would be

392
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:47,720
Speaker 1: equal distance apart from each other, that they would allow

393
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:50,920
Speaker 1: themselves to be shut down without causing a vibration or

394
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:53,480
Speaker 1: a change. And how smooth the engine ran, if you

395
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:57,280
Speaker 1: follow what I'm saying. So we're looking we're looking for

396
00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:02,720
Speaker 1: something common to those four cell landers. Not likely it's solenoids,

397
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,200
Speaker 1: all right, it would be It would be really weird

398
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:13,440
Speaker 1: that you failed all four solenoids at once, So good ahead,

399
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:17,120
Speaker 1: I agree with you. I just set that make sense

400
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:21,440
Speaker 1: to me, so I would get a look at a

401
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:26,040
Speaker 1: wiring diagram. You know, how do they feed power those solenoids.

402
00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:29,120
Speaker 1: Is it one five voult reference or one twelve vote

403
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:31,919
Speaker 1: reference whatever it is going up to that solenoid from

404
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:35,040
Speaker 1: one source or they I think they're individual wires leading

405
00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 1: to the solenoids. But I believe there's a separate ground.

406
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:42,160
Speaker 1: I'm trying to remember. It's been a while since i've

407
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:44,399
Speaker 1: I've played with one of these, But you know, is

408
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:47,239
Speaker 1: there a separate ground leg that would account for if

409
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 1: you lost that ground, you'd lose those four cylinders and

410
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:55,359
Speaker 1: set those four codes? All right? If if this comes

411
00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:58,600
Speaker 1: out to be where power and ground all comes from

412
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:02,960
Speaker 1: the PCM, if you clear the code, how long does

413
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:10,480
Speaker 1: it take for it to come back? Okay? So if

414
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 1: you clear it and they come back, or it doesn't

415
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:16,920
Speaker 1: come back right away, if you massage or manipulate the

416
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 1: harness while it's sitting there idling in the driveway, can

417
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:24,600
Speaker 1: you get the fault codes to come up? I didn't

418
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:28,200
Speaker 1: try to, all right, But but you're gonna need a

419
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:31,679
Speaker 1: wiring diagram for this to see how those solenoids are

420
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:34,960
Speaker 1: wired in relation to each other and in relation to

421
00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:41,040
Speaker 1: the overall harness. All right, and you know the other

422
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:43,399
Speaker 1: thing you want to think about is you may very

423
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:45,840
Speaker 1: well need a PCM for this. It would not be

424
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:48,800
Speaker 1: the most unusual thing in the world, because I think

425
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:51,919
Speaker 1: they both go back to a common driver in the PCM,

426
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:55,520
Speaker 1: and that would make sense that you would lose all

427
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 1: four because the PCM has a bad singular driver that

428
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:04,200
Speaker 1: feeds that sod okay, and if it was that good,

429
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:08,359
Speaker 1: would you know what that would run about? First of all,

430
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:11,200
Speaker 1: you gotta see if it's still available. And and I

431
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:14,320
Speaker 1: say that, I say that in all seriousness. I spoke

432
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:17,320
Speaker 1: to someone this week with an O six wrangler that

433
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:19,920
Speaker 1: needs a PCM, and he said, do you think you

434
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:22,480
Speaker 1: could get one? And I was thinking, yeah, why not?

435
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:29,560
Speaker 1: And I called Chrysler up and they said, yeah, discontinued. Yeah, So,

436
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:32,880
Speaker 1: you know, are they out there. I'm sure, I'm sure

437
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:36,399
Speaker 1: they're out there. I'm sure they're available. It's just a

438
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 1: matter how hard can we look? You know, It's it's

439
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:42,000
Speaker 1: you want to keep in mind if you do buy something,

440
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 1: because if you're doing this yourself. You're gonna have to

441
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:47,800
Speaker 1: have it flashed, which means you're gonna end up taking

442
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:50,000
Speaker 1: it to the dealer if you can find there are

443
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:53,720
Speaker 1: some aftermarket sources I've seen that are claiming if you

444
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:56,480
Speaker 1: give them the VN they'll they'll pre flash the PCM

445
00:24:56,920 --> 00:24:59,040
Speaker 1: and then ship it to you. And maybe that's the

446
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 1: way to go. If that's if that's what, if that's

447
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:05,920
Speaker 1: what it comes out to be, all right, take my

448
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:09,399
Speaker 1: take my email to take my email Jerry Ron at

449
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:12,639
Speaker 1: Car doctor show dot com. If if you need if

450
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:15,080
Speaker 1: you need a wiring diagram or something, just send me

451
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:16,639
Speaker 1: an email and I'll see what I can find for you.

452
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:18,040
Speaker 1: I'll try and help you a little bit of again,

453
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:22,160
Speaker 1: appreciate that very much. Right, you're very well, You're very welcome.

454
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:25,800
Speaker 1: You take good care of Good luck to you. So sorry, Jerry. Um. Yeah,

455
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:28,720
Speaker 1: it's a tough you know, and that's the problem. As

456
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 1: the car's age, you're you're not just fighting the problem,

457
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:35,960
Speaker 1: you're fighting the technology. Can you still get the part?

458
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:38,680
Speaker 1: Can you get the information? And then when you do

459
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:41,240
Speaker 1: get the part, does it need to be reflashed? You know,

460
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:44,560
Speaker 1: at what point will a repair shop or a dealer

461
00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:48,760
Speaker 1: still have access to all the computer software updates and

462
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:50,920
Speaker 1: all the flashing and all the you know, it's I

463
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:53,600
Speaker 1: always go back to the comparison. If you are to

464
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:55,640
Speaker 1: go out and buy a floppy disk drive today, could

465
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:57,600
Speaker 1: you if you had an update a Windows three point

466
00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:00,119
Speaker 1: one computer? Could you? It's getting hard to find end

467
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 1: up dates for Windows seven. Okay. So you know, technology

468
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:07,240
Speaker 1: has its has its pluses and its minuses, and it's

469
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:09,840
Speaker 1: sometimes you have to fall on your sword in order

470
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:14,080
Speaker 1: to fix the car. It becomes a big issue. Nine zero.

471
00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:23,240
Speaker 1: The car doctors coming back right after this. We them back.

472
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:27,280
Speaker 1: Weren't any of the car doctor you know. It was

473
00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:30,840
Speaker 1: mid week at the shop, and as as we go

474
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:33,399
Speaker 1: through the day. As we go through the week, different

475
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:37,080
Speaker 1: things come up and and in terms of what makes

476
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:41,720
Speaker 1: the repair successful and what doesn't. This week, I we

477
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:46,200
Speaker 1: we had a situation where it was a parts issue

478
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:52,200
Speaker 1: and it was a case that the brake pads we

479
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 1: were using we're both wrong for a particular car, and

480
00:26:57,119 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 1: it didn't make any sense. I looked at the part number,

481
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:01,920
Speaker 1: I looked at it by application. They were both that

482
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:04,000
Speaker 1: one was still in its bubble wrap, the other one

483
00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:08,000
Speaker 1: was not. And I said, how could how could this

484
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 1: be wrong? It was It said it's supposed to be

485
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:11,960
Speaker 1: a fourteen forty nine set of pads. It was a

486
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:13,720
Speaker 1: fourteen forty nine set of pads. The other one was

487
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:15,600
Speaker 1: supposed to be a twelve thirty two set of pads,

488
00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:18,359
Speaker 1: and it said twelve thirty two, but the rapper had

489
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:23,240
Speaker 1: been broken kind of goofed up the day a little bit.

490
00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:26,200
Speaker 1: We had a call up getting fresh pads. Fresh pads

491
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:29,199
Speaker 1: came down, and when the fresh pads set showed up,

492
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:34,720
Speaker 1: the fourteen series pads were really the twelve series pads,

493
00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 1: and the twelve series pads were completely wrong. And what

494
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:41,240
Speaker 1: had happened was the part's house went backwards and and

495
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:43,800
Speaker 1: and and short, and you know, traced it. They can

496
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:46,680
Speaker 1: trace who bought what last and so on, and it

497
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:49,720
Speaker 1: turns out somebody had returned them and they had just

498
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:52,880
Speaker 1: thrown things in a box and didn't care. And subsequently

499
00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:57,359
Speaker 1: it creates chaos on this side. And I thought about that,

500
00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:02,480
Speaker 1: how much that you know, it's amazing lit to repair

501
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:05,800
Speaker 1: works as good as it does. It really is when

502
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:08,600
Speaker 1: you think about all the moving pieces and all the

503
00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:13,280
Speaker 1: potential for problems that can exist in in in the

504
00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:16,840
Speaker 1: course of a day. It's it's kind of a staggering

505
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:19,720
Speaker 1: thing that that you can get as many cars out

506
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:21,840
Speaker 1: in the course of a day as you can nationally,

507
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:27,400
Speaker 1: how many cars get fixed on any given day. There's

508
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 1: a new sign going up in the shop this week

509
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:33,320
Speaker 1: it's you know, it's gonna say everything's gonna take a

510
00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:37,800
Speaker 1: lot longer than you think, because it does. And whether

511
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:42,120
Speaker 1: you're just doing a break repair or a diagnosis or

512
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:48,760
Speaker 1: a computer flash, everything just takes longer. And you know,

513
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:52,360
Speaker 1: as much as the problem is you have on your jobs,

514
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:55,880
Speaker 1: all right, you know what coworkers not happy, who got

515
00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:58,280
Speaker 1: in late, who got who was outlaid, who got in

516
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:03,400
Speaker 1: at the wrong time, who didn't show up at all. Well,

517
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:06,800
Speaker 1: when you stop to think of how many order repairs

518
00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:09,800
Speaker 1: are very hands on industry, is what I'm trying to say.

519
00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:12,000
Speaker 1: And when you stop and think about how many hands

520
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:15,000
Speaker 1: have to be involved in order to get one thing there.

521
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:17,240
Speaker 1: In order to deliver one set of brake pads, it

522
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:20,600
Speaker 1: probably goes through a half a dozen set of hands

523
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:24,120
Speaker 1: and a driver and a counterman. And that doesn't include

524
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:25,920
Speaker 1: the guy who delivered it in the a team wheeler

525
00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 1: and they pulled it out of the truck and put

526
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:30,800
Speaker 1: it on the shelf until we needed it. When you

527
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:34,360
Speaker 1: stop and think about that, it's it's kind of a

528
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:40,080
Speaker 1: crazy number, and the potential for somebody miss boxing, somebody

529
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:44,720
Speaker 1: dropping something, you know, it goes up exponentially and you

530
00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 1: say to yourself, Wow, I'm really amazed it worked out

531
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:52,040
Speaker 1: as good as it did. We had a a late

532
00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:57,440
Speaker 1: model Toyota it was no Suber I'm sorry Subaru that

533
00:29:57,560 --> 00:30:00,760
Speaker 1: had a problem with an ignisition oil and had a

534
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:02,720
Speaker 1: bad coil. We put a coil on it and it

535
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:05,840
Speaker 1: lasted a month and it was kind of weird because

536
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:09,120
Speaker 1: it was a very good brand. It was. It was Oi,

537
00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:10,960
Speaker 1: but not from the dealer because a lot of the

538
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:14,480
Speaker 1: dealer stuff can be purchased outside by the original manufacturer.

539
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:17,960
Speaker 1: And it failed, and we put another one on in

540
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:19,720
Speaker 1: the car. Since gone and the car's fixed. It's not

541
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:25,520
Speaker 1: a question of that. But I said, why, you know what,

542
00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:27,720
Speaker 1: what made that? Like? I don't buy a kid around

543
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:29,560
Speaker 1: with you guys. I said, yeah, new never ever worked like.

544
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:32,200
Speaker 1: I get that, but I'm always looking for a reason.

545
00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:34,120
Speaker 1: You gotta be like a pit bull in this business.

546
00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:37,920
Speaker 1: And I called the manufacturer hotline. I spoke to them

547
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:42,120
Speaker 1: and they said likely what happened is prior to us

548
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:47,840
Speaker 1: getting it, the part got dropped in the box. I said,

549
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:49,360
Speaker 1: you're kidding, and they said no. They said, as a

550
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:51,880
Speaker 1: matter of fact, we've had a few complaints with that

551
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:55,240
Speaker 1: particular part number. We've got to put more packing in

552
00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:57,160
Speaker 1: the box to ensure that it can take a three

553
00:30:57,200 --> 00:31:02,160
Speaker 1: foot fall. Think about right now, we have to worry

554
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:05,239
Speaker 1: about when somebody drops the part before it gets to us,

555
00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:09,200
Speaker 1: because what they're saying is there's there's capacity, there's capacitors

556
00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:12,880
Speaker 1: and conductors inside that electronic device, and when they dropped it,

557
00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:16,800
Speaker 1: something couldn't stand the impact and it made it more fragile.

558
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:23,520
Speaker 1: Even though it's ensconced encompassed in this coil pack, it

559
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:26,840
Speaker 1: still doesn't insulate it and protected in the event that

560
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:28,960
Speaker 1: it falls from you know, two and a half three

561
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:34,680
Speaker 1: feet up. Cars were a lot simpler fifty years ago.

562
00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:37,560
Speaker 1: I don't know where they're gonna be fifty years from now.

563
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:43,400
Speaker 1: I can only imagine. My point is everybody me, the

564
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:47,720
Speaker 1: guy fixing it, you, the guy driving it, the other

565
00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:50,720
Speaker 1: guy that's selling it. Everybody has to learn to think

566
00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:55,640
Speaker 1: of cars differently. Don't say, well, this is the way

567
00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:59,440
Speaker 1: my dad did it. Fifty years ago, unless unless it's

568
00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:00,840
Speaker 1: work ethic and you get up every day and go

569
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:03,080
Speaker 1: to work. I get that, But to say this is

570
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:05,200
Speaker 1: the specific way we took care of a car fifty

571
00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:08,520
Speaker 1: years ago, forty years ago, five years ago, last week

572
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:16,040
Speaker 1: might be not not a correct term anymore. So technology changes,

573
00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:18,959
Speaker 1: we have to change with it. Eight five zero nine

574
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:21,120

595
00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:24,120
Speaker 1: I do want to point out, courtesy of the Carcare

596
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:26,800
Speaker 1: Council carcare dot org, that it is a good time

597
00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:29,200
Speaker 1: to get a checklist done and do so this week

598
00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:31,280
Speaker 1: coming up before you leave for the July weekend to

599
00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:34,520
Speaker 1: go do some traveling. You want to allow for holiday traffic,

600
00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:37,240
Speaker 1: maybe leave a little earlier obviously. Uh, if you haven't

601
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:39,040
Speaker 1: had the car looked at, if it's been a year

602
00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:41,400
Speaker 1: since the last physical as I like to call it,

603
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:43,800
Speaker 1: and now's a good time to do it. Uh, you know.

604
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:46,320
Speaker 1: Rich White, executive director of the Carcare Council, points out

605
00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:49,680
Speaker 1: a pre chip, a pre trip vehicle check helps determine

606
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:51,000
Speaker 1: if a vehicle is ready for the road, so you

607
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:54,760
Speaker 1: can avoid the inconvenience, potential safety hazards an unplanned expensive

608
00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:57,560
Speaker 1: breaking down miles from home with summer vacation upon us.

609
00:33:57,600 --> 00:33:59,480
Speaker 1: A thorough vehicle inspection will give you peace of mind
