3
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:22,840

6
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:34,640
Speaker 1: can't assume that because cars for the last ninety eight

7
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:38,080
Speaker 1: years had charging systems that put out more than battery

8
00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:40,920
Speaker 1: voltage doesn't mean the next time you see one that

9
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:43,480
Speaker 1: that's correct and that's the way it's supposed to operate.

51
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:49,919
Speaker 1: into the shop. You know, I don't understand the thought

52
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 1: process that some people have. And I get it. I

53
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 1: know why people can't find a mechanic and sometimes, yeah,

54
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 1: I understand that I'm in a dirty business in the

55
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,360
Speaker 1: sense that this industry has burned a lot of people.

56
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 1: It's got a bad track record, and I understand why.

57
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,639
Speaker 1: And you know, a lot of times this industry is

58
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 1: its own worst enemy in terms of how they represent it,

59
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 1: in terms of what they try. And you know, due

60
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 1: to repair a vehicle person came into the shop, found

61
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 1: us online, came in and um, you know, just some

62
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,639
Speaker 1: service on a on a Toyota raft for and pretty

63
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:24,919
Speaker 1: much well, I'll tell you what. You know. Not every

64
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:28,119
Speaker 1: job goes perfect, perfect, but you try. But this job

65
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 1: went perfect. This job was eleven out of ten. Alright,

66
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,959
Speaker 1: it was just dead nuts on the money, right down

67
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 1: to the point that when he came to pick up

68
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 1: the car, it was forty four dollars less than the estimate,

69
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 1: and more work had been done, more things that were needed,

70
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 1: and everything was just like sailing right along. And we

71
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 1: got to the end and he said, gee, I want

72
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 1: to tell you, it's been a real pleasurable experience. I've

73
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 1: enjoyed this. I've I've I've really feel like I found

74
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 1: a mechanic. And then there was this hesitancy. It was

75
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 1: almost like he was afraid to admit it. But you know,

76
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 1: I haven't gotten car home yet, so we'll have to

77
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 1: see how it drives. Dude. You know what I worked

78
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 1: on your car. I took it around the block. I

79
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 1: spent eight minutes with it and and drove it around

80
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 1: a little bit. Trust me, the wheels aren't gonna fall

81
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 1: off the car and make it home. And I don't

82
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 1: understand that thought process. And it tells me that he's

83
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:23,360
Speaker 1: un he's not at ease. He's uneasy when dealing with

84
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,160
Speaker 1: his car and its problems. And you know that is

85
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:28,840
Speaker 1: a concern as to wine. That's what I want to

86
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 1: talk to you about. I want to know what can

87
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:33,040
Speaker 1: we as mechanics make it do, to make it a

88
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,840
Speaker 1: little easier for you, to help you, you know, some

89
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 1: warm fuzzies, because look, you've got to be realistic too.

90
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 1: You buy a car, it's gonna cost you something to

91
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,839
Speaker 1: maintain it. It's gonna take knowledge, it's gonna take tooling,

92
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 1: it's gonna take an education, it's gonna take good quality parts.

93
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 1: It's gonna take procedures and processes. Had a regular customer yesterday,

94
00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 1: Gordon brought me his Chevy Tahoe. The part light circuit

95
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 1: for the trailer wasn't working. You know. He took up

96
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 1: his trailer and he'd have no parking lights. He had directional,

97
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 1: he had break light, he had no parking light. Ran

98
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:13,920
Speaker 1: through a diagnosis. Now I know everybody out there is

99
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 1: raising their hand and going, oh, it's a fuse. Of course,

100
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,159
Speaker 1: it was a fuse. You know what else would it

101
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 1: be but a fuse. Although it could be a connection,

102
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 1: it could be in the horns. I mean there's there's

103
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 1: there's ten or twelve other things that could be. But yes,

104
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 1: it did turned out to be a fuse. The question

105
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 1: is where and which fuse block. There's three fuse blocks

106
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 1: in this vehicle. Well this was in the underhood fuse block,

107
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:35,279
Speaker 1: and it was fuse number twenty five, which is a

108
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 1: little tiny one sitting there sort of ways between the

109
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:41,040
Speaker 1: fuel pump relay that's not in there according to the diagram,

110
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:44,480
Speaker 1: and fuse number three because they're not numerical order, they're

111
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 1: not in any sequential order. And I replaced the fuse,

112
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 1: and I did a nice job. I replaced the fuse.

113
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:52,479
Speaker 1: I marked the carrier, and I marked the new fuse

114
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 1: with a daughter red nail polished, thinking that he's gonna

115
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 1: hook up his trailer and the fuse will probably blow

116
00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:00,839
Speaker 1: again somewhere out on Interstate seventy two, and um when

117
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 1: he's when he's in between the middle of nowhere and

118
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 1: everywhere and trying to, you know, find that fuse. Where

119
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,839
Speaker 1: is it in the dark? And so I marked it.

120
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 1: I thought that was the professional thing to do, and

121
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 1: it was. It is, come on, cut it out. Also

122
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 1: spend some time looking the car over and you know,

123
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 1: just where did the fuse could the fuse beat could

124
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 1: have blown because the harness is rubbing somewhere in the

125
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:24,920
Speaker 1: chassis as it pinched on a gas tank? Is it?

126
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 1: You know what else could be causing this? Spent an hour,

127
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:32,359
Speaker 1: spent an hour, charge an hour, and he didn't even blink.

128
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,359
Speaker 1: And his actual comment was, I think that's kind of cheap,

129
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:39,159
Speaker 1: you know, because when you stop and look at it,

130
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:41,839
Speaker 1: what do you get for a hundred dollars today? You know,

131
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:44,160
Speaker 1: not much? And when you look at the complexity of

132
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:47,920
Speaker 1: the automobile, So you've got to be realistic and how

133
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:49,920
Speaker 1: you approach this. And that's you know, it's just my

134
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 1: Nichols worth of free advice to you that you you

135
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:55,040
Speaker 1: you can't buy a car and say, well, I'm never

136
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:56,600
Speaker 1: gonna spend any money on it, because if you are,

137
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:00,080
Speaker 1: you're kind of out of touch. I don't think you

138
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,919
Speaker 1: should be driving. Because I can tell you this, I

139
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 1: can prove it to your time and time again that

140
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 1: in all my years of fixing cars, nothing runs without maintenance.

141
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 1: They all require some sort of repair. I can also

142
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 1: tell you one of the things I've learned over time

143
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 1: is the person that doesn't do the maintenance is usually

144
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 1: the one. By the time the car has earned a

145
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 1: thousand miles on it, they're replacing it because they think

146
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 1: the cars worn't out and in actuality. It probably is

147
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 1: worn't out, it's it's beat up, and it hasn't had service,

148
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 1: and it hasn't had care. Now we change how we

149
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 1: care and service vehicles. You know. I don't know if

150
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 1: you're if I've talked about this enough that you might

151
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 1: notice it. But I've been doing a little bit of

152
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 1: end of the year beginning of the new year maintenance

153
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 1: at the shop, cleaning up and throwing out things, and

154
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 1: you know, selling things off that we don't use anymore.

155
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 1: For example, the dealer level scan tool to work on

156
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 1: a Lantra. I don't think I need that anymore. You know,

157
00:07:57,440 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 1: it's it's it was a little bit of a time ago,

158
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 1: you know, when it's come down to where that Hyundai

159
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 1: Elantra is probably in the junkyard ten years ago and

160
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 1: all the rest of them. I can't convince people to

161
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 1: put catalytic converters on two thousand and eleven jeeps with

162
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 1: sixty five miles on them. The chances of getting them

163
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 1: to Fixantra are slim to none. It's just not gonna happen.

164
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 1: And that's something else that goes on behind the scenes

165
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 1: that I don't think everybody is aware of. It would

166
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 1: be interesting. I bet you it's a pile. It would

167
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 1: be a mountain. The number of tools repair shops cycle

168
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 1: every year. How many tools do you get rid of

169
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 1: on a yearly basis that you just don't use anymore.

170
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 1: I was reading a post on one of the mechanic

171
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 1: forms that I belonged to, and it was interesting, we

172
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 1: don't use the brake leave anymore. Remember you, you know

173
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:46,439
Speaker 1: the Saturday morning break job. You'd run out to the

174
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 1: Ouda parts story. You get a set of pads Wagner

175
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:53,679
Speaker 1: D fifty two set seventy one National Seals, and you

176
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 1: you put from brakes on your Chevy whatever, all right,

177
00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 1: and you take the rotors out to the machine shop

178
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 1: or to the gas station and for a cup of

179
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,079
Speaker 1: coffee and donuts at the gas station because those guys

180
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 1: in the gas stations are always hungry. But the machine shop,

181
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 1: it was six bucks, twelve bucks, ten bucks, whatever it was,

182
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 1: and you had the rotors turn Remember those days. I

183
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:14,080
Speaker 1: got a break lathe in the shop. It's collecting dust.

184
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 1: If I turn it on three times a year, that's

185
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 1: a lot. But the problem is when you need it,

186
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 1: you need it. The parts washer tank back when you

187
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:23,719
Speaker 1: did break jobs and turned rotors. You also had front

188
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 1: wheel bearings to clean and repack all the time, or

189
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:30,320
Speaker 1: valve covers to take off and reseal and and change

190
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:33,960
Speaker 1: gaskets on that stuff is over, you use the parts

191
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 1: washer four times a year. If that it just doesn't happen,

192
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:40,959
Speaker 1: and on and on and on. The bearing press, I

193
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 1: actually used the bearing press more or the press I

194
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 1: shouldn't say bearing press. I used the hydraulic press now

195
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:49,440
Speaker 1: more than I did five years ago, because it seems

196
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 1: like wheel bearings have taken a resurgence, and I blame

197
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 1: a lot of that on the design of the cars

198
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 1: and suspension and the quality of the parts. But my

199
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 1: point is all repair is very very different. Look, if

200
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 1: you're listening to this show, if you're still here after

201
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 1: this ten minute opening conversation, I commend you. I pat

202
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,320
Speaker 1: you on the back. I appreciate the fact that you're there.

203
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,560
Speaker 1: I just want you to be open to ideas because

204
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:18,960
Speaker 1: the things we talk about are very, very different than

205
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:23,560
Speaker 1: your perception. In some cases, because the way you fixed

206
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 1: cars five days ago, and well, okay, i'll give you

207
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 1: a little of that, the way you fixed cars six

208
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:34,440
Speaker 1: months ago is different than today versus twenty years ago.

209
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:38,560
Speaker 1: Forget it, it's a completely different animal. I read a

210
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 1: report about a week and a half ago, and the

211
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 1: conversation was from some mechanics. It was it was an

212
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:46,680
Speaker 1: analysis about cost structure, and you know, how do you

213
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 1: charge for certain repairs? And you know do you charge

214
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:54,200
Speaker 1: should you charge less? If someone brought you a seventy

215
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:58,320
Speaker 1: two Chevy whatever with a boar battle carburetor, would you

216
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:03,359
Speaker 1: charge a lower our league repair rate to rebuild that carburetor?

217
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:05,680
Speaker 1: Then you would working on the fuel system of a

218
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 1: modern automobile. And the answer was really kind of to

219
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:16,559
Speaker 1: point to home in that the hourly rate isn't predicated

220
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 1: on what you're working on, it's how long it takes.

221
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 1: So if it takes you two hours to rebuild that carburetor,

222
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:26,200
Speaker 1: which by the way, is you know some forty five

223
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:29,600
Speaker 1: almost fifty years old, right, I mean carburetors, carburets having

224
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 1: around since nine. If you stop and look at that,

225
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 1: there's extra work involved. Rebuilding the carburettors today from forty

226
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:39,320
Speaker 1: years ago, fifty years ago was gonna take you longer

227
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:41,560
Speaker 1: than rebuilding them five six years ago when you were

228
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 1: in the gas station and you were doing it in

229
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 1: the bay and you could do it in forty five

230
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 1: minutes an hour. Auto repair changes, and this radio show

231
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 1: is trying to change with it, and that's really the

232
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 1: direction I'm taking it. But if you've got a question

233
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:01,560
Speaker 1: and you want to talk about it, six zero zero zero,

234
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 1: I'm running any of the Car Doctor, and I'm happy

235
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 1: to be here and proud to serve and able to

236
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:07,439
Speaker 1: help you out. Whenever I can give me a call,

237
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:35,200
Speaker 1: I'll be back right after this. The little door right, hey,

238
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 1: welcome back. Why don't then, of the Car Doctor. Let's

239
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 1: get on over and kick the garage doors open. Welcome

240
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 1: Greg from Maine, oh four dodging some problems with the

241
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 1: water pump. Greg, Welcome to the Car Doctor, Sir. How

242
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 1: can I help? Yeah, hi's returning my call? Thank you, sir.

243
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 1: I have an old yet, I have an old four Dodge, um,

244
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:54,840
Speaker 1: and I've been through six water pumps since I've owned it,

245
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:58,599
Speaker 1: and I don't know what's going on. Help? Yeah, Um,

246
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 1: how long have you owned it since? And oh yeah,

247
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:03,840
Speaker 1: well it was only a year old, soil pretty muchnew.

248
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:06,959
Speaker 1: We had twenty seven thousand miles on it. And can

249
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 1: you tell me, um, in the course of the past

250
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:11,319
Speaker 1: so let's see, that would make it twelve years. You've

251
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:13,559
Speaker 1: owned it in the past twelve years. How many times

252
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:16,080
Speaker 1: have you done a coolant exchange? Not a drain and fill,

253
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 1: but in exchange cooling exchange unless my mechanic did it

254
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 1: without me knowing it, I have never done one. So

255
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 1: tell me about the water pump failures. Is it that

256
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 1: the pump starts leaking or okay, so the pump starts leaking.

257
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 1: Is it is so it's leaks not bearing failures. Um,

258
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 1: I can tell you what leaks. I I don't know

259
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:42,680
Speaker 1: the answer to your other questions. Okay, what I'm what

260
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 1: I'm trying to sort out, greg, is for something to

261
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:48,720
Speaker 1: have a repetitive failure, it's it's one of a couple

262
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 1: of possibilities. The job is being done wrong, and that's

263
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 1: that's an easy one. Right. We all like to point

264
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:55,679
Speaker 1: the finger at the other guy and say it's his fault.

265
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 1: But you bolt the water pump up. As long as

266
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 1: it doesn't leak, chances are you're okay. So unless he's

267
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 1: banging on the end of the water pump like an

268
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:06,199
Speaker 1: anvil with a with a hammer like a blacksmith, then

269
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:10,640
Speaker 1: I don't think that's the cause, right, and let you

270
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:12,960
Speaker 1: know that that's right, just to let you know four

271
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 1: different entities have done it. So I don't believe that's

272
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 1: the cause either, right, and then we and then we

273
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 1: have to have a conversation about you know, could just

274
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 1: be the part. You know, everybody's everybody's got their own

275
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 1: flavor of the week of what they like. There's you know,

276
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 1: there's cheap white box parts out there. There's you know,

277
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 1: straight quality right from the manufacturer. All right, Um, I

278
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 1: have to tell you somewhere after water pump number two,

279
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 1: if I wasn't by then I would be using an

280
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 1: oee Chrysler water pump just to see what's different, all right,

281
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 1: Although I don't I don't think that's gonna. I don't

282
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 1: think that would have solved the problem in this case.

283
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 1: And that's too easy for me, right, it can't be

284
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 1: that easy on the car doctor. I'm supposed to find

285
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 1: the difficult stuff. So, um, I get just said there go,

286
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 1: I get a different you know, use a Chrysler part,

287
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 1: and it is what it is. But that's not the answer,

288
00:14:57,880 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 1: all right. So when we come to the third thing,

289
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 1: if the bearing is season you know, such that the

290
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 1: pump locks up and the bearing fails or were you know,

291
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 1: the bearing actually breaks and the pumps the blades sitting

292
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 1: at a little bit of a cock eye angle. Then

293
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about maybe we've got a bad belt

294
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 1: tension or that the belt itself is you know, it's

295
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 1: it's like a big giant rubber band, and that tension

296
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 1: or that automatic tension or has to have some gift

297
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 1: to it. Otherwise, you know, when when you put your

298
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 1: foot in it, you know, to get out passing gear

299
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 1: on the highway whatever. You know that that tensioner has

300
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:35,640
Speaker 1: to have the ability to have a little slacking it

301
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 1: because when you wind it up otherwise go and bang,

302
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:40,280
Speaker 1: you're pulling on that bearing. The sideload on that bearing

303
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 1: is tremendous at that point. But this is leaking, right,

304
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 1: You said this was leaking. Those were your words, right,

305
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 1: So every one of them have done that? Okay, any

306
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:55,920
Speaker 1: other leaks, any other cooling system failures out of this vehicle.

307
00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 1: I did you know, all those years I did have

308
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 1: to put new radiator in, but I thought that was

309
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:04,760
Speaker 1: quote normal. So I've got one new radiator maybe two

310
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 1: or three years ago, and and that's it from the

311
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 1: leaking standpoint of that. So the top two things on

312
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 1: my list would be a actually the second thing on

313
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 1: to my list would be a the quality of the part,

314
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 1: because you can you can go to four mechanics, you know,

315
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 1: right around the corner from each other, and they're all

316
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 1: pulling from the same warehouse, and that warehouse of selling

317
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 1: brand X parts. So we we've got to we've got

318
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 1: to stop and think, you know parts, um, you know

319
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:36,880
Speaker 1: whose parts are they? I mean, frankly, after the first guy,

320
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 1: after the first guy did it, what was his reaction?

321
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 1: Did he throw his hands up in the air or

322
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 1: did he you know, did he? Uh? I thought I

323
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 1: would try somebody, you know, somewhere else, not to blame

324
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:50,040
Speaker 1: the person, but just to see it. And now that's

325
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 1: what I did. Well, how many you know, how far

326
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 1: apart in between people doing it? Does it fail? Is

327
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 1: it three years later? Well, here you go. I've had

328
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 1: the majority of and fail within one year maybe two tops.

329
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:05,159
Speaker 1: And I did have one. Um, I don't know what

330
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:07,360
Speaker 1: you think about the bars weak stuff, but I did

331
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:09,480
Speaker 1: have one go three or four years. That's because I

332
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 1: put the well, I'd like to think I kind of

333
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:14,480
Speaker 1: helped it. Put the pellets to it that lasted maybe

334
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 1: four years. That was the longest one. Here's why I

335
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:21,439
Speaker 1: don't think the bars leak did anything, because that's a

336
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:26,040
Speaker 1: that's that's a rotating seal. You know, my understand my understanding.

337
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 1: I've never really looked at it. But my understanding is

338
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 1: not that i've I've never taken a water pump apart

339
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:33,880
Speaker 1: to see. But my perspective of how that water pump

340
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:36,800
Speaker 1: works is it's a round shaft with a round seal.

341
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:40,720
Speaker 1: So when that seal leaks, it's not that the bars

342
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:43,399
Speaker 1: leak can go somewhere and collect against a crack or

343
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:46,440
Speaker 1: a failure or a pinhole or something like that. I

344
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:48,720
Speaker 1: don't think the bar's leak had anything to do with it. Yeah,

345
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:51,439
Speaker 1: it doesn't. I don't. I don't buy that, all right.

346
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:53,359
Speaker 1: And if it does. If it does, you're putting a

347
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:55,159
Speaker 1: band aid on a broken leg. Then why did the

348
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:59,119
Speaker 1: bars leak work? What? What? What I think at fault

349
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:02,639
Speaker 1: is here? All right? What I would be doing? All right,

350
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:05,560
Speaker 1: with clear courage and conviction. Let me ask you this.

351
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:10,959
Speaker 1: Do you have an O'Reilly oto parts by you? Greg Um? Yeah? Actually, okay,

352
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 1: So I'll tell you what I'm up against the clock. Greg,

353
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:15,680
Speaker 1: Sit tight, I've got the answer for you, and it's

354
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 1: it's right down at your local O'Reilly Oto parts and

355
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:20,760
Speaker 1: that when we come back from this pause, we'll talk

356
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 1: about it and uh, you know you and the rest

357
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:24,439
Speaker 1: of America will know what's going on. Hey, I'm run

358
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:26,479
Speaker 1: an any and the car Doctor. I'm cruising back right

359
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 1: after this. Stay tuned, do's not come fency see what

360
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 1: they Hey, welcome back in the car doctor. We're on

361
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:56,160
Speaker 1: the phone with Greg from Main Greg, you're still there, sir? Okay,

362
00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:58,040
Speaker 1: So here's the deal we're talking to Greg about. Is

363
00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 1: oh Ford Dodge that's got a problem with the water pumps.

364
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 1: Is going through water pumps all the time for those

365
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:05,080
Speaker 1: you're just tuning in, Um, Greg, what you want to

366
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:07,159
Speaker 1: get do is get down to your O'Reilly oto parts

367
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:10,920
Speaker 1: that we talked about and ask them for a coolant

368
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:15,920
Speaker 1: test kit. All right. They they I know for a fact,

369
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,879
Speaker 1: they stock a line of cooling test kits made actually

370
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:20,960
Speaker 1: by none other than Wicks Filters. It's a Wicks cooling

371
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:23,439
Speaker 1: test kit. I think the part number you're looking for

372
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:26,440
Speaker 1: is one oh six. It's a little bottle of we

373
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:29,879
Speaker 1: call them dip strips, and what that will do is

374
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 1: you remember high school science class with the pH test

375
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 1: and was it was it acid? Was it base? And

376
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 1: you know you determine the state of the chemical. You're

377
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:42,240
Speaker 1: gonna do that if you haven't flushed the coolant in

378
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 1: this two thousand four vehicle ever, and your mechanic is

379
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:49,920
Speaker 1: counting on a drain and fill process. That doesn't work.

380
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:51,920
Speaker 1: You drain a radiator, you get about a third of

381
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:54,320
Speaker 1: the coolingt out of the system. They're still cooling down

382
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:56,639
Speaker 1: in the belly of the block around the corners and

383
00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:58,720
Speaker 1: the heat or core in the very bottom of the

384
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:01,240
Speaker 1: radiator that doesn't always necess severally come out depending upon

385
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:03,439
Speaker 1: how you drain it. For that matter, if he's just

386
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 1: counting on it when he takes the water pump out

387
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 1: that it's it's been replaced, that doesn't count. And even

388
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:13,119
Speaker 1: if the coolant, even if the coolant has been replaced,

389
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 1: it's still a good idea on an older vehicle. Once

390
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 1: a vehicle get pads, gets gets past the two and

391
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:22,080
Speaker 1: a half the three year mark, you want to start

392
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:26,280
Speaker 1: doing in ACIDC test strip on a regular basis because

393
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:28,119
Speaker 1: it'll tell you when it's about to go bed and

394
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:30,639
Speaker 1: you can do something about it. You're gonna say something.

395
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 1: You got you got a comment my thought process and

396
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 1: from what you're saying, I was not correct um with

397
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:41,040
Speaker 1: all the pumps every place that that took care of

398
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:43,640
Speaker 1: the old inni freeze. But you said not necessarily right.

399
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:45,920
Speaker 1: It's you're you're not going to get it all out.

400
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:51,160
Speaker 1: And you know, always remember a cooling system circulates coolant,

401
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:55,000
Speaker 1: and it's gonna act like a like a river with

402
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:57,720
Speaker 1: with the slow parts. Have you ever noticed that in

403
00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:00,359
Speaker 1: a in a in in circulation on a on a

404
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 1: river bank, it's always the stagnant water that gets the

405
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:07,080
Speaker 1: mosquitoes and the scummy stuff. Same thing, same same thing

406
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 1: with a cooling system in a vehicle when it's when

407
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:11,400
Speaker 1: it's hard to get around the bends and it tends

408
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:13,720
Speaker 1: to collect in the lower areas, it's gonna over time

409
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 1: build up stagnancy and it's it's you know, as the

410
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:21,480
Speaker 1: coolant wears out and loses its ability to protect and

411
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:24,359
Speaker 1: do what it's supposed to do. Uh. There is there's

412
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:26,679
Speaker 1: also a little bit of an electrical reaction to all

413
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 1: the ground going through the blocks today. There's been cases

414
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 1: of that document that that is actually changing the state

415
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 1: of the cooling, and it makes the argument for cooling exchange.

416
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:38,920
Speaker 1: The manufacturer, like Chrysler, says coolant and a cooling exchange

417
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 1: would be done every five years, all right. You know

418
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 1: you would have to twist Ron's arm to do it

419
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 1: every four years in that case, because if enough is good,

420
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:48,280
Speaker 1: more is better, and too much is just enough. But

421
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:50,720
Speaker 1: you know to do it, to do it never in

422
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:54,919
Speaker 1: twelve years, I think you let's let's let's kind of

423
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:57,199
Speaker 1: look there, because I bet you're gonna test a CDC

424
00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:00,159
Speaker 1: and then we can make you okay. That's why the

425
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:03,000
Speaker 1: seals have failed. I'm surprised you haven't lost other cooling

426
00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 1: system components. All right. Now, on the flip side, if

427
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 1: you do do a cooling test strip and you you

428
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:13,520
Speaker 1: find out that the cooling tests absolutely picture perfect, and

429
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 1: they give you a little chart on the side of

430
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:16,919
Speaker 1: the bottle. As a matter of fact, I think o'rally

431
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 1: other parts. When you get down there, they'll actually have

432
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:20,879
Speaker 1: a kit. They have a kit where the charts on

433
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:22,159
Speaker 1: the bottle, and then I think they have the kit

434
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:24,119
Speaker 1: where the charts a little bit bigger, depending upon what

435
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:27,520
Speaker 1: your flavor is and what you like. But you know,

436
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 1: if you get there and you know, you find that

437
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:32,160
Speaker 1: the cooling tests good, then we gotta start to think about, Okay,

438
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:34,240
Speaker 1: what's the quality of the parts? Why did one last

439
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 1: three years? Was it the bars leak? Or what would

440
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:38,639
Speaker 1: happen if we just went out and bought a Chrysler

441
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:42,359
Speaker 1: water pump, and you know, make make sure we're getting

442
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:45,440
Speaker 1: a Chrysler new water pump, not a Chrysler you know, rebuilt.

443
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:48,200
Speaker 1: We want top quality for this. I find the Hemmy's

444
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:52,160
Speaker 1: require a better component because they're a high output engine.

445
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:54,639
Speaker 1: They place a lot of you know, torsonal load on

446
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:56,959
Speaker 1: everything and when you put your foot in it, you

447
00:22:56,960 --> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 1: know everything is under stress. And obviously at the belt

448
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:03,240
Speaker 1: checked the tension or make sure everything is in line

449
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:05,479
Speaker 1: being where it's supposed to be. But I think your

450
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:07,679
Speaker 1: problem is going to be your solution to the problem

451
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 1: is gonna be somewhere in this combination of events that

452
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:13,879
Speaker 1: I'm talking about. Alright, And one last thing, if you

453
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:16,560
Speaker 1: gotta half a second, So if I'm going to change

454
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:20,560
Speaker 1: that you recommended me two or three years, well, if

455
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:23,440
Speaker 1: it's the fluid, if the fluid test acitic, you're gonna

456
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:25,240
Speaker 1: have to go to your mechanic or a mechanic and

457
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:28,840
Speaker 1: get a coolant exchange where they hook a machine up.

458
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:30,760
Speaker 1: They're gonna hook a machine up. This is like when

459
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 1: you're going for a blood transfusion. They're gonna hook a

460
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:35,240
Speaker 1: machine up to the car and they're gonna do a

461
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:38,520
Speaker 1: one for one exchange. And now understand this. I just

462
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 1: had a two thousand one Ford Ranger in the shop.

463
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:44,560
Speaker 1: It's a fourteen court capacity system. I did an exchange

464
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:49,840
Speaker 1: of almost twenty courts because you know, you want to overcompensate,

465
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:52,439
Speaker 1: because you want to make sure that listen, it's not

466
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:54,280
Speaker 1: an exact science. You're gonna a machine up. You're not

467
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:55,960
Speaker 1: gonna get out one for one every time. You'll you'll

468
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:58,359
Speaker 1: put one in and you'll get out of that court.

469
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 1: So you know, you gotta start the think about ratios

470
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:05,040
Speaker 1: and scale um at the point where you over over

471
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 1: extend it. You know, if it's if it's a twelve

472
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:09,240
Speaker 1: court system, you know, do it till it's clean or

473
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 1: sixteen courts, eighteen courts play a rule of thumb something

474
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:15,840
Speaker 1: like that. But it's got to be in exchange, not

475
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:19,200
Speaker 1: a drain and fill, all right, And then I would

476
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:22,760
Speaker 1: probably come back. I would probably come back and and

477
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:25,800
Speaker 1: and obviously I would test it when I'm done, see

478
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:28,719
Speaker 1: if you've made a difference, and then I would if

479
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:31,879
Speaker 1: if you're showing that it's clean after you did the exchange,

480
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:34,920
Speaker 1: I would do another test in six months, and then

481
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:37,960
Speaker 1: probably do another exchange in a year, just to try

482
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 1: and see, you know, just to get as much of

483
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:42,360
Speaker 1: the crud out and continue to keep it down and

484
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:45,359
Speaker 1: see where that gets. All right, sir, see what that

485
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:49,320
Speaker 1: does for you, know times I appreciate it. Thank you, sir,

486
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:52,960
Speaker 1: Glad to be here for you. You You take good care. Yeah,

487
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:55,119
Speaker 1: let's go back to basics each and every time. And

488
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:56,560
Speaker 1: by the way, I meant to mention to Greg, you

489

491
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:04,480
Speaker 1: it's there. If you're still listening, Greg, you can do that.

00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:37,400
Speaker 1: love talking to you, Tony, tom Ray, not so much

538
00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:39,360
Speaker 1: Justin and Iowa. How can I help you? Sir? Thanks

539
00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:41,040
Speaker 1: for allowing us to rant a little bit. What's going

540
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 1: on uh my two thousand three van is overheating. Um,

541
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:52,120
Speaker 1: it will overheat once and then it'll be fine. And

542
00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:55,480
Speaker 1: when it does that, just before the heat, little bulk

543
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:57,760
Speaker 1: blow cold, and then it might get warm and blow

544
00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:05,680
Speaker 1: cold again. Place the thermostat and the water pump. Panic.

545
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:07,960
Speaker 1: Tell me it might be a head gasket, and it

546
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:12,480
Speaker 1: might be high mileage on this justin what's that high

547
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:18,359
Speaker 1: high mileage on this vehicle? Hundred forty six thousand. You know,

548
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:21,399
Speaker 1: are you losing any cooling? Do you add cooling to

549
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:24,920
Speaker 1: it over time? I have never added cooling, and it

550
00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:27,840
Speaker 1: started acting up about a month and a half ago,

551
00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:30,960
Speaker 1: and it seems to act up more so in the

552
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:35,840
Speaker 1: colder weather. Today. I drove seventy miles and it has

553
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:39,320
Speaker 1: not h done it to me. But once it once

554
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:44,280
Speaker 1: it overheats or the gauge will peg out, and then

555
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 1: I'll shut it off. And it may take once or twice.

556
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:50,440
Speaker 1: I'll start it and then shut it off and started

557
00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:52,720
Speaker 1: and it will be normal in the heater works just

558
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 1: fine and it will never overheat again. All right. So

559
00:28:57,280 --> 00:29:00,320
Speaker 1: a couple of things in my mind. Number one, you know,

560
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:05,040
Speaker 1: isn't really overheating? Yeah, it probably is, all right, you

561
00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:08,000
Speaker 1: know they're probably this is probably not something electrical you

562
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:11,120
Speaker 1: know as sending unit or a gauge, because you're also

563
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:14,560
Speaker 1: getting a no heat complaint. You're getting cold air. Correct,

564
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:20,400
Speaker 1: So there's something mechanically changing state here. So let's adjust

565
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:23,600
Speaker 1: the second thing. First. You know you're driving along if

566
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:25,480
Speaker 1: there was no overheat condition, but you told me you

567
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:27,200
Speaker 1: were driving along and all of a sudden this car

568
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:29,800
Speaker 1: went cold air and then it came back to warm

569
00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:32,160
Speaker 1: air hot air? Is that a fair statement of how

570
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:35,800
Speaker 1: this happens? It all like pass it. I mean, it

571
00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:38,680
Speaker 1: takes a while for the thing to actually heat. When

572
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:41,440
Speaker 1: I when I when when it starts heating up, and

573
00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:45,719
Speaker 1: it will actually act like it's a normal U temperature

574
00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:50,720
Speaker 1: running temperature. The I'll have it on vent and it

575
00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:53,680
Speaker 1: will actually blow cold. If I shut the fan off

576
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 1: then and wait a little bit and then turn it on,

577
00:29:57,200 --> 00:29:59,920
Speaker 1: it will blow warm air. But what's funny. I had

578
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:02,480
Speaker 1: one time that it was saying it said it was

579
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:06,400
Speaker 1: running normal. I wasn't getting any heat, and then the

580
00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:11,400
Speaker 1: temperature gauge went clear to cold. And right after that

581
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:17,280
Speaker 1: it heard like a almost like a whistling sound. Um

582
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:22,120
Speaker 1: And then immediately or shortly after that the temperature gauge

583
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:25,200
Speaker 1: pegged out. I slipped it in neutral, shut it off,

584
00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:30,480
Speaker 1: and every time after that happens, the heater works great.

585
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:35,760
Speaker 1: It runs normal just below half on the temperature gauge.

586
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:42,640
Speaker 1: And as long as this system I'm assuming stays pressurized, um,

587
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 1: it won't overheat the rest of the day. I can

588
00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:47,040
Speaker 1: leave it set for two hours or whatever from my

589
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:49,920
Speaker 1: service calls, and I don't have an issue with it

590
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:53,680
Speaker 1: overheating more than once in a particular day. Anybody scanned

591
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:57,800
Speaker 1: this for codes? No, I have have not scanned it for todes.

592
00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:01,080
Speaker 1: The reason, and I'm not just talking PC M O

593
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:03,160
Speaker 1: B D two codes. I'd like to see if there's

594
00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:04,760
Speaker 1: anything in the gem mod you won't like to see

595
00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:08,720
Speaker 1: if there's any body codes in this. Also, I'm trying

596
00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:12,960
Speaker 1: to determine do you really have a problem mechanically or

597
00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:16,320
Speaker 1: is it an electrical problem? Isn't an electrical issue? All right?

598
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:18,600
Speaker 1: You said service calls? What do you do for a living?

599
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:23,800
Speaker 1: Justin tim the locksmith, Um, I was hoping you actually

600
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:27,280
Speaker 1: have an m gs UH computer that I might actually

601
00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:29,960
Speaker 1: build to pull some codes myself. I was I was

602
00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:31,120
Speaker 1: hoping you were going to tell me you were an

603
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 1: h v A C tech and you had you had

604
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:37,360
Speaker 1: a thermometer, uh, you know, an infrared gun. Um. I

605
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:43,800
Speaker 1: actually do have an infrared thermometer. Okay, sop. So let's

606
00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:48,400
Speaker 1: let's let's do it like this. You know, the average vehicle, obviously,

607
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:51,600
Speaker 1: depending upon climate and temperature, is gonna take eight to

608
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:54,400
Speaker 1: ten minutes to get up to get up the speed,

609
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:58,040
Speaker 1: you know, an older vehicle like this. So you know

610
00:31:58,080 --> 00:31:59,560
Speaker 1: the first thing you've got to do is, you know,

611
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 1: time wise, how long does it really take to get warm?

612
00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:07,280
Speaker 1: All right? And you know, if you're sitting there running

613
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:09,280
Speaker 1: the temperature, if you get in and I'm not saying

614
00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:10,760
Speaker 1: you are, but if you're one of those people that

615
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:13,040
Speaker 1: gets in the car, starts it up in ten seconds later,

616
00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:16,240
Speaker 1: turns the heat on half speed, it's gonna take longer

617
00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:19,560
Speaker 1: to heat up because the the heater is pulling whatever

618
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:21,760
Speaker 1: heat the engine is building and cycling it right out.

619
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:24,880
Speaker 1: It's it's becoming a mini radiator in a sense. So

620
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:27,400
Speaker 1: the longer you can wait, just you know, wait wait

621
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:29,640
Speaker 1: for no heat, wait till the gauge comes up to normal.

622
00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:33,080
Speaker 1: I'd love this, okay, I'd love to see what a

623
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:36,440
Speaker 1: scan tool says as far as what the PCM is

624
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:39,080
Speaker 1: seeing as far as temperature, and does that match what

625
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 1: the engine is actually at or is it is it?

626
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:45,720
Speaker 1: Is it lying and confused? All right? So that's important

627
00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:48,280
Speaker 1: to me. I agree this could be a head gas

628
00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:52,880
Speaker 1: at issue. There's a product out there called quick Seal

629
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:58,080
Speaker 1: quick Quick or fiber lock Um fiberlock in a green

630
00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:01,640
Speaker 1: bottle about thirty five party bucks. Your local auto parts store,

631
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:04,400
Speaker 1: O Riley outo Parts has it for sure, and you

632
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:06,760
Speaker 1: know you can go through that and follow those directions.

633
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:08,600
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. Justin, sit tight, let me pull

634
00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:10,680
Speaker 1: over and take this pause. I'm up against the clock.

635
00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:12,320
Speaker 1: Will come back and finish this. Don't go away. I'm

636
00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:38,320
Speaker 1: on nading the car doctor. We will return. Hey, running

637
00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:41,800
Speaker 1: in the car doctor, we are back. Zero is the

638
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:45,600
Speaker 1: phone number, Justin and Iowa. You're still there, sir. Let's

639
00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:49,160
Speaker 1: finish this because you're just tuning in with some problems

640
00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:52,400
Speaker 1: with overheats. So we want to verify how hot is hot?

641
00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:54,400
Speaker 1: Is the engine really that hot? Or you know, does

642
00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:55,920
Speaker 1: everything make sense if we can look at this on

643
00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:58,080
Speaker 1: a scan tool. Now, this engine is gonna have a

644
00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:01,239
Speaker 1: cylinder head temp switch or sender. You're not you may

645
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:04,800
Speaker 1: not see cool intemp sender because they're they're making their

646
00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:08,000
Speaker 1: calculation off of cylinder head temp, not cool intemp. There's

647
00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:11,200
Speaker 1: a separate center for the gauge and then a separate

648
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:17,160
Speaker 1: cylinder head temp sensor for PCM information. All right, so

649
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:18,880
Speaker 1: just be mindful of that. If you're looking at this

650
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:20,680
Speaker 1: on a scan tool, it can drive you crazy if

651
00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:24,000
Speaker 1: you're not aware. All right, So we want to look

652
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:26,560
Speaker 1: at temperature? Is this really warm? Could we have a

653
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:29,759
Speaker 1: head gasket issue? Gets some if it does fiber lock

654
00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:33,280
Speaker 1: um by quick Seal fiber lock. It's a derivative of CRC.

655
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:35,319
Speaker 1: I remember that. It's been a while since I've used it,

656
00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:39,200
Speaker 1: but it does work well, O'Reilly, Order parts will have it. Okay, Okay,

657
00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:43,800
Speaker 1: I use some bars head gasket sealer. It was about

658
00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:48,640
Speaker 1: twenty five bucks. And I guess the reason I chose

659
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:50,920
Speaker 1: it is because I didn't have to drain the system

660
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:54,120
Speaker 1: down and and well you put it in and leave

661
00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:55,719
Speaker 1: it in there, and I put that in there a

662
00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:59,319
Speaker 1: week ago and it hasn't changed any Okay, Um, I'll

663
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:02,400
Speaker 1: say it like is the only head guess gets stealer

664
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:04,319
Speaker 1: And I'm not a band aid and a broken leg guy,

665
00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:06,719
Speaker 1: you know that if you're a regular listener, I'm not

666
00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:10,000
Speaker 1: a fan of pouring in. Or if I am, it's

667
00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:13,160
Speaker 1: because I've used it. It works, and I've used bars,

668
00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:15,759
Speaker 1: I've used everybody's. The only one that I've used that

669
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:19,759
Speaker 1: actually works is the fiberlock stuff. All right, Now, how

670
00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:22,799
Speaker 1: that's gonna react with something else in there, I don't know.

671
00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:25,400
Speaker 1: All right, I can tell you this. You don't have

672
00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:27,560
Speaker 1: to drain it down to do the fiberlock. You have

673
00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:28,840
Speaker 1: to get it, you know, a little lower, just to

674
00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:31,200
Speaker 1: take the contents of the bottle. But neither here nor there.

675
00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:34,680
Speaker 1: Last thing, all right, let some coolant out of the

676
00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:38,520
Speaker 1: radiator sucks him out? Take the radiator cap off stone

677
00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:43,719
Speaker 1: called crank it over? Does it burp coolant? Right? If

678
00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:45,319
Speaker 1: this thing has a head gas get leak when it's

679
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:47,720
Speaker 1: called if there's if there's an issue there, it should

680
00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:50,040
Speaker 1: push cooling out of the neck of the radiator like

681
00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:51,640
Speaker 1: a like an air pump, because that's basically what it

682
00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:53,640
Speaker 1: is at that point, and that might give you a clue.

683
00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:55,400
Speaker 1: Let me know what happens. Justin give me a call back.

684
00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:58,320
Speaker 1: I'm running any car. Doctor. Mechanics are an expensive they're priceless,

685
00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:07,880
Speaker 1: see it everyone along. She Stone sid
