UM. 39 00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,080 Speaker 1: I guess the way to start this story is how 40 00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:55,960 Speaker 1: many calipers can you put on the front of a 41 00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:58,400 Speaker 1: vehicle any one time? Or more importantly, here's something they 42 00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:01,160 Speaker 1: probably don't teach you in trades school, you know, running 43 00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:03,880 Speaker 1: a repair shop has its challenges and you sometimes have 44 00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:06,080 Speaker 1: to think a little outside the box, and you've got 45 00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 1: to be prepared for what's gonna happen outside the box. 46 00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:11,560 Speaker 1: About two weeks ago, and O two Nissan pickup truck 47 00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:13,680 Speaker 1: him into the shop and it just needed front breaks. 48 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,919 Speaker 1: It was simple front brakes on an eighteen year old vehicle. 49 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:19,520 Speaker 1: The truck came in the afternoon the day before. We 50 00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:21,919 Speaker 1: looked at it. It needed breaks. We we anticipated with 51 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,680 Speaker 1: having to put calipers on it, just because of the age. 52 00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:28,520 Speaker 1: We ordered pads, rotors, and a pair of calipers. We 53 00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:31,720 Speaker 1: went home. I thought about it sitting at the supper table, 54 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:33,480 Speaker 1: thinking like I'm not supposed to be I'm supposed to 55 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:35,480 Speaker 1: be involved in the household. But your mind kind of 56 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:37,639 Speaker 1: you know, you're, you're, you're just thinking about that last 57 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 1: job in the shop before it's totally fades from memory 58 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,720 Speaker 1: and your your your back into the present moment, and 59 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,400 Speaker 1: I said, you know what, I'm gonna need more calipers. 60 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:48,160 Speaker 1: Something's gonna go wrong with that job. It's eighteen years old. 61 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:50,200 Speaker 1: I just don't know why. I just had this feeling. 62 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:52,880 Speaker 1: I went online, logged into the shop, I ordered a 63 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:56,560 Speaker 1: live pair of calipers. From a different supplier. Okay, next 64 00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 1: morning I got four four calipers, two pairs for each 65 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:01,919 Speaker 1: or two for each side, and a pair of front 66 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,519 Speaker 1: rotors and pads. And we start doing the job, and 67 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:06,640 Speaker 1: sure enough, Danny's taking it apart and the right front 68 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:09,480 Speaker 1: calipers leaking behind the piston boot. We've got to put 69 00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:13,120 Speaker 1: a caliper on this. The first pair showed up and 70 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:14,840 Speaker 1: we were grateful for it. We take it out of 71 00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 1: the box and we go to mount it up and 72 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,680 Speaker 1: we find out that the mounting bracket that came in 73 00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:22,840 Speaker 1: the first set of calipers doesn't match the mounting holes 74 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,800 Speaker 1: on the vehicle. There's something different. The calipers the same, 75 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 1: the brackets wrong. Now, there was nothing wrong with the 76 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:31,359 Speaker 1: bracket that we had taken off. It was just a 77 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 1: metal bracket with slides. I said to Danny, and the 78 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:35,640 Speaker 1: interest of expediting this because the car had to go, 79 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 1: I said, clean up the bracket. How clean can you 80 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:40,920 Speaker 1: make it? Well, Danny's pretty meticulous, all right. When I 81 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 1: tell him to clean something that comes out shining, it 82 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 1: looks better than it does from the rebuilders and it 83 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 1: was spotless. We bolted that bracket on, We put that 84 00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,920 Speaker 1: caliper on Hey, we're good. We're moving the day along. 85 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 1: We then went ahead and did the pad and rotor. 86 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 1: We moved to the other side. When we got to 87 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:59,840 Speaker 1: the other side, the brand new caliper we found out 88 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,760 Speaker 1: had a stuck piston. It wouldn't it wouldn't move. We 89 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:07,240 Speaker 1: couldn't get it to work. At that moment that the 90 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 1: other two calibers showed up, I said, hey, this is great. 91 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 1: We'll use one caliber from supplier Hey, we'll use one 92 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:16,240 Speaker 1: caliper from supplier B. They're both Remans, it doesn't matter. 93 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:18,680 Speaker 1: They should work. Fine, Let's just move this job along. 94 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 1: It's got to go. By four o'clock. We put the 95 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:24,120 Speaker 1: one caliper on. We're all set. Now we have to 96 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:27,320 Speaker 1: bleed the system. We go to bleed it the right 97 00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 1: front bleeder. We open it up, no fluid comes out. 98 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:33,839 Speaker 1: It's like eleven th quarter or twelve. We're getting ready 99 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 1: to go to lunch. I said, let me order two hoses. 100 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,919 Speaker 1: We'll dig deeper into this when we come back from lunch. 101 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,440 Speaker 1: We go to lunch, we order hoses. The hoses show up. 102 00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:43,640 Speaker 1: We go back to look at it. We find out 103 00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:47,120 Speaker 1: it's not the brake hoses, but it's something in the 104 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:51,200 Speaker 1: new caliber itself that we had just put on. Fortunately, 105 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:54,720 Speaker 1: I keep thinking of who is it Foghorn leghor Unfortunately 106 00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,279 Speaker 1: keep my feathers numbered for just such an emergency. We 107 00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:59,120 Speaker 1: then went back to the caliber that we had gotten 108 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:01,720 Speaker 1: from supplier Big, swapped out the caliper that we had 109 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:04,640 Speaker 1: just swapped out from supplier A, took off the bracket 110 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:07,120 Speaker 1: that Danny refurbished because the other caliper had the right 111 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:10,200 Speaker 1: bracket on it, and finally got the job done. I mean, 112 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,160 Speaker 1: we had to go through four calipers to get two 113 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:15,920 Speaker 1: that worked. And you wonder why mechanics are crazy in 114 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:17,560 Speaker 1: terms of what they have to go through to get 115 00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:19,600 Speaker 1: jobs out the door. And you've got to be you've 116 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:21,040 Speaker 1: got to keep it safe, and you've got to keep 117 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:22,520 Speaker 1: it balanced, and you've got to make sure it's a 118 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 1: it's a job that's not going to be a problem, 119 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:27,120 Speaker 1: and that you're doing the right thing all the time, 120 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 1: every time, every day. A real story from the bay 121 00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:32,600 Speaker 1: car went out the road and bled. Fine, we didn't 122 00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:34,800 Speaker 1: have do hoses, we didn't have to do. You know, 123 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:36,720 Speaker 1: four calipers. We only needed the two. We sent the 124 00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:39,640 Speaker 1: other ones back as defects because they were the bracket 125 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:42,120 Speaker 1: was wrong, and the the one caliper wouldn't bleed, and 126 00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:44,680 Speaker 1: oh I I mean, you know, you look at it 127 00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 1: and you say, how can it happen? And then people 128 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:48,480 Speaker 1: call up or people come in and they want to 129 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:50,719 Speaker 1: own a repair shop. That's great. I love owning a 130 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,040 Speaker 1: repair shop. You just got to really be ready for 131 00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 1: the unexpected. You've really got to be prepared for what's 132 00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 1: gonna happen outside the box. When you least expect it, 133 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,680 Speaker 1: that's when something's gonna hit. And that's really what makes 134 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:04,279 Speaker 1: a good repair shop. I think the shops that are prepared, 135 00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 1: the shops that are thinking ahead, the shops that are 136 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,599 Speaker 1: planning before you know, look before you leap, I think 137 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:11,360 Speaker 1: those are the ones that will be successful today and 138 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:13,400 Speaker 1: in the coming years, because it's sure is becoming a 139 00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:17,040 Speaker 1: very very difficult business as time goes on, so much 140 00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:19,159 Speaker 1: more so than it was thirty years ago when I 141 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:21,839 Speaker 1: first got into it.

And I've talked 170 00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:46,400 Speaker 1: to Jeff about this problem with lead and unleaded fuel 171 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 1: and will it damage the valve seats and the guides 172 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:51,400 Speaker 1: and everything else that everybody talks about. And you know 173 00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:54,080 Speaker 1: his answer is it always rings true in my ears 174 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:57,360 Speaker 1: in that you look at the percentage of cars that 175 00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 1: are having the reported problem versus the ones that aren't, 176 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:03,760 Speaker 1: and you say to yourself, how much does it really matter? 177 00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:06,360 Speaker 1: You know, is it Is it really the gas causing 178 00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:08,440 Speaker 1: the problem that caused the valve seat to pound out, 179 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:10,520 Speaker 1: or the or the or the piston to have an issue. 180 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,240 Speaker 1: I haven't heard the one about the piston causing pitting, Kurt. 181 00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:17,120 Speaker 1: Maybe maybe people are confusing that with pining or detonation. 182 00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:21,280 Speaker 1: I'll tell you what I do, and I'm just more consistent, 183 00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:23,720 Speaker 1: especially on the older cars, but even on the newer ones. 184 00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:26,400 Speaker 1: I just buy the same brand or blend of fuel 185 00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:29,360 Speaker 1: for that vehicle on a consistent basis. I find what 186 00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:32,760 Speaker 1: brand works best. Um lately for a newer vehicle, I 187 00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:36,400 Speaker 1: make sure it's Tier one good quality fuel, and that's 188 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:37,880 Speaker 1: what I buy. I don't even look at the price. 189 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:40,480 Speaker 1: I'm just so happy to get it. I think, you know, 190 00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:42,280 Speaker 1: if you stop and think about it for the amount 191 00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:44,640 Speaker 1: of time you're gonna drive that Malibu. Unless you're gonna 192 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:48,120 Speaker 1: drive it on a really regular basis, I don't know 193 00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:52,880 Speaker 1: that it matters. And you know, if if something were 194 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:56,360 Speaker 1: to happen more importantly than fuel, I'd be more concerned 195 00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:58,200 Speaker 1: with putting the right type of oil in the vehicle, 196 00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:01,520 Speaker 1: all right. I would look for something, you know, that's 197 00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:04,439 Speaker 1: really set up for an older classic car, because today's 198 00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:07,000 Speaker 1: modern oils, they've taken out so many of the chemicals 199 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:10,040 Speaker 1: and the editive packages for fear of contaminating catalytic converters, 200 00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:12,920 Speaker 1: which that car doesn't have. Seventy three I believe was 201 00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:14,559 Speaker 1: the first year for cats, and it was a different 202 00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:17,800 Speaker 1: style cat. I would be more concerned with that. So 203 00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:19,360 Speaker 1: what have you What have you been running in it 204 00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:23,120 Speaker 1: up to this point? Well, somebody told me to run 205 00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:26,360 Speaker 1: premium minute, so I put nine new one octame Premium minute. 206 00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:29,679 Speaker 1: That's all I've done, all right, And a daily driver, right, 207 00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:34,480 Speaker 1: but it's it's premium unleaded, right, And how many years 208 00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:40,679 Speaker 1: have you been doing that? Oh? Gosh, I only drive 209 00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:42,280 Speaker 1: the thing every now and then so it doesn't go 210 00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:44,200 Speaker 1: through too many tanks. I've probably been doing that last 211 00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:48,800 Speaker 1: five years. Right. Has the engine blown up yet? No, 212 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:50,800 Speaker 1: nothing's happened yet. I just didn't want to make sure 213 00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:52,679 Speaker 1: anything happen in the future. Right. I don't think it's 214 00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:54,880 Speaker 1: gonna happen because of the fuel, And that's my point. 215 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:57,480 Speaker 1: So I don't. I don't think it's gonna matter, and 216 00:09:57,520 --> 00:09:59,920 Speaker 1: Heaven forbid if it does, you want to you want 217 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,280 Speaker 1: a bigger engine anyway. So look, I solve the reason 218 00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:05,120 Speaker 1: as the why I avoided the phone call back saying, Ron, 219 00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:06,360 Speaker 1: do you think I should put a bigger engine in 220 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:08,600 Speaker 1: my Malibu? Well, now you have to curt because the engine, 221 00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:11,320 Speaker 1: which it's not gonna happen, brother, But you get my point, 222 00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:16,480 Speaker 1: so IM go ahead. Second question, Second question, Okay, second 223 00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:21,480 Speaker 1: questions one, two, ten? Um, when I get in it 224 00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:25,880 Speaker 1: and it's cold, as I go to turn left just 225 00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:27,960 Speaker 1: a little bit, it catches the steering. What kind of 226 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:31,000 Speaker 1: catches there? Um? After it's warmed up, it doesnt seem 227 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,720 Speaker 1: to have a problem. I'm wondering if that's a power 228 00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:35,920 Speaker 1: steering pump that might be going bad on it or 229 00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:39,240 Speaker 1: what it is, but just just initially catches. After that, 230 00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:42,120 Speaker 1: once you turn left, it's okay, but you know, you 231 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:44,280 Speaker 1: go straight again and you go to turn left, has 232 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:47,439 Speaker 1: it a slight catch right there? A rack or a box? Truck? 233 00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:49,720 Speaker 1: Is it? Is it a steering rack or a steering box? 234 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:53,959 Speaker 1: Do you know? You know? I don't know. Okay, it's 235 00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:55,640 Speaker 1: not gonna matter. My answer is going to be the same. 236 00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:59,040 Speaker 1: I don't believe it's the pump alright. Power steering pumps 237 00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:02,200 Speaker 1: put out hydraulic pressure. The pump doesn't know or care 238 00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:05,199 Speaker 1: which way you're turning the wheel right pressures pressure. Its 239 00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:08,679 Speaker 1: job is to provide, you know, hydraulic assist. The box 240 00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,880 Speaker 1: or the rack is where the directional challenges come in. 241 00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:15,920 Speaker 1: And what I have to believe you're experiencing is something 242 00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:18,160 Speaker 1: similar to you know, the General Motors products back in 243 00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:20,720 Speaker 1: the late eighties, and with them it was RAX. But 244 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:23,760 Speaker 1: I've seen this on pumps on boxes also where the 245 00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:27,480 Speaker 1: internal seals that helped direct or guide in the spool 246 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:30,800 Speaker 1: valve section of the steering mechanism, which way fluids supposed 247 00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:34,880 Speaker 1: to flow for steering assist, the seals start to get dry, brittle, 248 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,920 Speaker 1: or contract and until they're warmed up, they don't provide 249 00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:40,600 Speaker 1: proper channeling of the hydraulic pressure the pumps putting out 250 00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:43,880 Speaker 1: and it creates a low pressure, no pressure or opposing 251 00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:48,920 Speaker 1: pressure problem. Now you know, how how long does this last? 252 00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,320 Speaker 1: Does it get in the truck started up, warm it 253 00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:53,960 Speaker 1: up and it's gone within ten seconds? Is it just 254 00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:57,319 Speaker 1: that one initial pull? Which you know how long does 255 00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:04,319 Speaker 1: it last for? Uh? You know it's less? First? First first, 256 00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:06,880 Speaker 1: So you know what do you have a Do you 257 00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:11,000 Speaker 1: have an O'reillyoto parts by you get down to your 258 00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:13,880 Speaker 1: local Rileyoto Parts for two reasons. Number one, you want 259 00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:15,440 Speaker 1: to go in and ask them do they have anything 260 00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:18,120 Speaker 1: that's they can sell you for as a power steering 261 00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:21,439 Speaker 1: fluid conditioner. Let's try emptying the fluid. Let's try doing 262 00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:23,840 Speaker 1: a fluid change. Put a power steering conditioner in there. 263 00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,880 Speaker 1: Let's see if conditioning the seals and the and the 264 00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:31,439 Speaker 1: steering on this vehicle makes this uh, makes this the problem? 265 00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:34,800 Speaker 1: Makes the problem go away? Number one. Number two, when 266 00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:36,679 Speaker 1: you're down there showing the rally gift card that we're 267 00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:38,319 Speaker 1: gonna send you because you're gonna stay on the line 268 00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:40,440 Speaker 1: and Tom's gonna get your information.

Ron Andandy in the Car Doctor 279 00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:19,480 Speaker 1: five five five zero zero zero. Now back to Ron. Hey, 280 00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:21,440 Speaker 1: let's get over to Steven and Iowa. Oh six g 281 00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:25,080 Speaker 1: mccerra Stephen. Welcome aboard, sir. How can I help? How 282 00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:27,800 Speaker 1: are you doing, sir? Good? What's going on this? Uh? 283 00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:30,760 Speaker 1: This pick up? It's an All six, it's low mileage, 284 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:36,360 Speaker 1: premium conditions, well taken care of it. I want to 285 00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:38,079 Speaker 1: back it out of the garage on a cold morning. 286 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:40,440 Speaker 1: It goes and then when I drive it down the 287 00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:43,840 Speaker 1: alleyway and go to the street, it goes art and 288 00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:45,600 Speaker 1: then when I drive it down the block, it goes 289 00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:48,480 Speaker 1: and then I don't know where it's coming from. I've 290 00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:50,640 Speaker 1: been under the hood. I looked at the islander, Polly. 291 00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:54,200 Speaker 1: I took the belt off. Check the islander, Polly. I'm 292 00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:57,760 Speaker 1: looking for vacuum leagues. I'm looking for actualators on the 293 00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:01,680 Speaker 1: doors down there, and you box and I can't figure 294 00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:05,560 Speaker 1: out where there is breaking. Where do you think you know? 295 00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:08,880 Speaker 1: What's your sense, Stephen? Is it under the hood, Is 296 00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:12,440 Speaker 1: it under the truck? Any any idea? Could it be 297 00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:15,160 Speaker 1: from the brake pads themselves, the way they're gripping the rotors. 298 00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:18,360 Speaker 1: I pulled the wheels. I pulled the wheels here about 299 00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:20,520 Speaker 1: a month ago, and clean them all up, real nice 300 00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:23,240 Speaker 1: and clean. It's got nothing to do with it's got 301 00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:25,440 Speaker 1: nothing to do with brakes, has got anything to do 302 00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:29,320 Speaker 1: with speed because it never changes. It just if I 303 00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:34,200 Speaker 1: accelerated a boy card, it just okay. So so it happens. 304 00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:38,360 Speaker 1: It happens whenever you break no. No, I don't know 305 00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:42,840 Speaker 1: it actually accelerates when I'm just going down the alleyway. 306 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:45,800 Speaker 1: The truck is basically cold. It's a cold start morning 307 00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:48,440 Speaker 1: and I go down the alleyway, the truck is cold. 308 00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:50,320 Speaker 1: I go down the street, the truck is cold. I 309 00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:52,240 Speaker 1: go down still, just going to the the gas station and 310 00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:55,200 Speaker 1: get coffee. So it doesn't. It doesn't while you're driving. 311 00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:58,680 Speaker 1: It just doesn't when I'm driving, when the engine is cold, 312 00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:02,160 Speaker 1: after everything's armed up, it doesn't do it anymore. Okay? 313 00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:04,240 Speaker 1: Will it do it sitting there in in in in 314 00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:07,640 Speaker 1: the garage. If I'm sitting there in the garage, you'll 315 00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:10,640 Speaker 1: probably do it. Yeah, you'll probably do it just sitting 316 00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:14,600 Speaker 1: there idling, you know. Uh, well, maybe maybe not. I'm not. 317 00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:17,560 Speaker 1: I can't. I can't say about that. So why don't 318 00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:19,720 Speaker 1: we try that? I mean, listen, we've we've got to 319 00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:21,800 Speaker 1: at least get a feel for where the noise is 320 00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:25,440 Speaker 1: coming from, all right. If they're thinking that's under the 321 00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:29,120 Speaker 1: dash someplace, I get a feeling that's coming from the forward, 322 00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:32,760 Speaker 1: are all right? So and maybe it is, in which case, 323 00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:37,280 Speaker 1: sitting there, just sitting there should duplicate it, you know, Listen, 324 00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:39,640 Speaker 1: we've got to we've got to cut the problem in half, right, 325 00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:41,560 Speaker 1: So we've got to we've got to get to the 326 00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:44,000 Speaker 1: middle of the problem as fast as we can. And 327 00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:46,120 Speaker 1: in this case, getting to the middle is gonna be 328 00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:50,440 Speaker 1: doesn't happen when the vehicles moving or sitting still? It's 329 00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:53,560 Speaker 1: a yes or no proposition. I mean, there's there's there's 330 00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:55,760 Speaker 1: there's more than a few things that make noise on 331 00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:58,360 Speaker 1: these trucks. These have issues with the PCV valve causing 332 00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:01,840 Speaker 1: squeaks and squeals. These have issues with the valve lifters 333 00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:05,040 Speaker 1: going bad, causing all kinds of engine noises. You know, 334 00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:07,280 Speaker 1: there's there's a half a dozen things I can run 335 00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:10,520 Speaker 1: you through. But until we know is it moving or 336 00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:15,560 Speaker 1: sitting still? You know what else is there? Could it be? 337 00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:18,080 Speaker 1: Could it? Could it be a break? Dragging? Would it? 338 00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:20,520 Speaker 1: Would it make the noise if you try to stop 339 00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:24,000 Speaker 1: the truck, popping it in neutral, putting on the parking break? 340 00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:29,440 Speaker 1: You know, is it is? Is? Yeah? I mean sometimes 341 00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:34,160 Speaker 1: doping something out is doing something different. You know, how 342 00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:35,400 Speaker 1: do you get to the how do you get to 343 00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:36,840 Speaker 1: the middle, and then once you get to the middle 344 00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:38,400 Speaker 1: of the problem, how do you get to the middle 345 00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:41,480 Speaker 1: of that half of the problem. And then eventually eventually 346 00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:43,440 Speaker 1: you get yourself down to an eighth of the problem 347 00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:47,000 Speaker 1: and you solve it. Uh, you know, listen, it's there's 348 00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:49,800 Speaker 1: no mystery to it. There's something you just know because 349 00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:52,400 Speaker 1: you're here. I'll tell you what. The compressor in the 350 00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:55,800 Speaker 1: shop has been acting up. My air compressor, all right, 351 00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:58,680 Speaker 1: Sailor beal the Cadillac of the industry, blah blah blah 352 00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:00,800 Speaker 1: blah blah. Well, let me let me tell you it. 353 00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:03,840 Speaker 1: Maybe a cadillact. But so forth, Sailor bill customer service 354 00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:06,320 Speaker 1: has been anything. But we finally got somebody on the 355 00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:08,560 Speaker 1: phone and we explained to them. We noticed that it 356 00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:10,879 Speaker 1: sounds different now. When it starts up it makes a 357 00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:12,560 Speaker 1: loud wish and when it shuts off it makes a 358 00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:15,359 Speaker 1: loud wish. And we finally got it to the point 359 00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:18,879 Speaker 1: where we duplicated the problem. Where you've got three guys, me, 360 00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:21,240 Speaker 1: Danny and carpenter Bob. We're on our knees looking under 361 00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:24,720 Speaker 1: the compressor. We're going, where's this noise coming from? And 362 00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:27,560 Speaker 1: there's a little threaded port by what we believe, or 363 00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:30,840 Speaker 1: what we're told is the auto drain valve for the water, right, 364 00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:33,800 Speaker 1: and it's a threaded port and there's nothing in it. 365 00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:38,960 Speaker 1: So now we're saying, right, like, what fell out, what 366 00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:42,639 Speaker 1: vibrated and fell out? What's lost? Now and you know, 367 00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:45,320 Speaker 1: now we're sitting there, we're going to ourselves, you know. 368 00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:48,479 Speaker 1: And you know we've we've called Sailor Bell and Sailor 369 00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:51,240 Speaker 1: Bill has these distributors, and every Sailor Bill distributor we've 370 00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:53,320 Speaker 1: called has been out of business. And we're trying to 371 00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:55,600 Speaker 1: find just just sell me the twenty dollar part, would 372 00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:57,639 Speaker 1: you please. I gotta move my day along, you know, 373 00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:00,760 Speaker 1: it's I gotta get to the middle of the problem. Listen, Steven, 374 00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:03,200 Speaker 1: I I really appreciate the call. Stay on the line. 375 00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:06,119 Speaker 1: Let Tom get your information. Dr Richard McCann wrote a 376 00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:09,439 Speaker 1: great book, Classic Car Adventures. I think you'll really appreciate it, 377 00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:13,720 Speaker 1: tales of enthusiasts, adventures with Anglias Bentley's Bugattis and more. 378 00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,160 Speaker 1: So we'll be sending it out your way out Iowa Way. 379 00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:18,240 Speaker 1: Stay on the line, let Tom get your info. Merry 380 00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:19,880 Speaker 1: Christmas to you when you were from the car Doctor 381 00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:22,160 Speaker 1: family and we appreciate you being part of ours. I'm 382 00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:24,000 Speaker 1: ronan Ady and the Car Doctor. I'll be back right 383 00:18:24,040 --> 00:19:03,280 Speaker 1: after this. Don't go away, you did, huh Hi, Ronn 384 00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:06,080 Speaker 1: and the Car Doctor. I'm telling Mommy, Robert and Virginia. 385 00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:10,280 Speaker 1: Uh Tominus Christmas songs. Robert, how can I help you today? 386 00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:13,920 Speaker 1: So run any and at your service. Yeah. Um, so 387 00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:18,040 Speaker 1: I've got I've got a Ford F one fifty four 388 00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:21,880 Speaker 1: and my I've got an electronic UM four world drive 389 00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:25,480 Speaker 1: switch and it will only go into high and it 390 00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:27,919 Speaker 1: the first time like when I started up, but let 391 00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:30,880 Speaker 1: everything warm up. The first time it goes into high, 392 00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:35,120 Speaker 1: it takes a while. Um, and then I can't get 393 00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:37,600 Speaker 1: it into low at all. So I don't know if 394 00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:39,760 Speaker 1: is there a trick or is there something I should 395 00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:42,800 Speaker 1: look at to make sure it's engaging the properly when 396 00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:44,879 Speaker 1: I when I clicked the switch. Have you own the 397 00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:49,439 Speaker 1: truck since new Robert? No, No, I'm the second owner. Okay, 398 00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:51,040 Speaker 1: how long have you had it? Have you ever been 399 00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:54,200 Speaker 1: able to get it into four wheel drive low? Yes? 400 00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:56,919 Speaker 1: When I first bought it, it did go in a 401 00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:59,240 Speaker 1: couple of times. Um, but I don't use you know, 402 00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:02,160 Speaker 1: I'm in Virginia. We get one or two good snows 403 00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:04,160 Speaker 1: and that's really the only time I would use it. Okay, 404 00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:06,560 Speaker 1: So right off the bat, you know that you have 405 00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:08,919 Speaker 1: to put it in neutral, not park, and the and 406 00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:10,919 Speaker 1: the brake's gotta be on in order to put it 407 00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:16,080 Speaker 1: into low correct. Yes, because otherwise, because this has a 408 00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:19,320 Speaker 1: four wheel drive module. This is electronic shift, so that 409 00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:23,439 Speaker 1: if if it doesn't see break input, it's gonna ignore 410 00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:28,320 Speaker 1: the command, all right. So the next stupid comment that 411 00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:30,919 Speaker 1: I can make is, and there's always a stupid comment 412 00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:35,840 Speaker 1: I make, to the brake lights work. Yes, okay, well, 413 00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:38,720 Speaker 1: because because if the brake switch doesn't work, if you 414 00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:41,760 Speaker 1: have no brake lights, that's that's part of the input 415 00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:44,520 Speaker 1: circuit for the four wheel drive. It sees your foot 416 00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:46,640 Speaker 1: on the brake and otherwise it won't. You know, I'll 417 00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:48,800 Speaker 1: fix four wheel drive vehicles by putting a brake light 418 00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:50,520 Speaker 1: switch on the truck. And people look at me like 419 00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:53,679 Speaker 1: I'm crazy, all right, But that's that's where the input 420 00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:56,639 Speaker 1: comes from. So now we're down to it works fine 421 00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:58,320 Speaker 1: in four wheel high. Right, you can get it in 422 00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:00,560 Speaker 1: out of four wheel high. Everything does what it's supposed 423 00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:05,360 Speaker 1: to do. Yeah, it's it's in it right now. So 424 00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,480 Speaker 1: I'm able to I'm able to put it in four 425 00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:12,679 Speaker 1: wheel high. Um, just like by going I don't I 426 00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:15,040 Speaker 1: don't stop it or anything like that. Because this has 427 00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:19,800 Speaker 1: automatic vacuum hubs up front, right, don't you don't have 428 00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:22,399 Speaker 1: to get out and flip anything. It's it's it's shift 429 00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:26,800 Speaker 1: on the fly, four wheel drive. Correct. So so now 430 00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:29,400 Speaker 1: so now the issue is when you put it into 431 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:36,160 Speaker 1: four wheel what happens? Is there grinding or it doesn't engage? Um. 432 00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:39,679 Speaker 1: The like I said, the high works, it goes in 433 00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:42,480 Speaker 1: and everything's fine. Um, the low it just won't engage. 434 00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:47,480 Speaker 1: No sound, no nothing. Um. When I put it into high, 435 00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:50,359 Speaker 1: back and forth from two wheel drive to four will high, 436 00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:55,960 Speaker 1: I can hear a click in my console somewhere. Um. 437 00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:58,320 Speaker 1: But when I put it into low, it's just nothing, 438 00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:01,800 Speaker 1: no friending, no no sound. Got got it, and you've 439 00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:03,520 Speaker 1: got it in neutral and your foots on the brake. 440 00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:05,680 Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you your next step is. I'd really 441 00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:07,520 Speaker 1: love to see if there are any fault codes in this. 442 00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:11,280 Speaker 1: They set a P twenty one oh six which deals 443 00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:15,000 Speaker 1: with issues with the command for four wheel low. They 444 00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:17,640 Speaker 1: do some other things as far as the shift motors concerned. 445 00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:21,640 Speaker 1: Because you know, understand, take the take the four wheel 446 00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:24,560 Speaker 1: drive transfer case, take the electric motor off the case. 447 00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:27,840 Speaker 1: There'll be a mechanical shaft there. In theory, you could 448 00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:31,359 Speaker 1: flip it from high to low by hand. If the 449 00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:34,840 Speaker 1: hubs are locking and high, then it should go into 450 00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:37,840 Speaker 1: low unless there's a problem a in the transfer case 451 00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:40,320 Speaker 1: or be in the electric shift motor. And that's why 452 00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:41,960 Speaker 1: I want you to pull codes. I want to see 453 00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:44,680 Speaker 1: if scanning it for codes comes up with anything. It's 454 00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:47,480 Speaker 1: looking for response and feedback, and that'll tell you something 455 00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:51,280 Speaker 1: you can also probably see depending upon the scan tool 456 00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:53,000 Speaker 1: you use and not O B D two you're gonna 457 00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:55,399 Speaker 1: have to go in year make model you should be 458 00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:57,919 Speaker 1: able to see a pit. Although I don't know if 459 00:22:57,920 --> 00:22:59,639 Speaker 1: they did it in No. Four it was it was 460 00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:01,520 Speaker 1: I've seen it on the on the older ones. Are 461 00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:03,679 Speaker 1: the newer ones, oh eights and stuff where you can 462 00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:07,320 Speaker 1: actually see position of that shift nub. You know, you 463 00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:09,320 Speaker 1: put it in two wheel, it reports two wheel. You 464 00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:11,880 Speaker 1: put it in four wheel high, it reports four wheel high, 465 00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:14,359 Speaker 1: and so on. So this is a case where a 466 00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:16,600 Speaker 1: scan tool help cut down on some of your diagnostic 467 00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:20,040 Speaker 1: time before you start changing some expensive parts. But you're 468 00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:22,440 Speaker 1: you're you're already halfway through the problem. You know it's 469 00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:25,800 Speaker 1: not the hubs. You know that the transfer case works 470 00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:27,919 Speaker 1: on high. Now you've got to get down to the 471 00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:31,200 Speaker 1: rest of it. Chances are it's not wiring related. My 472 00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:33,640 Speaker 1: my educated guests would be it's between the motor itself, 473 00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:36,600 Speaker 1: the shift motor, the knob or the transfer case. And 474 00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:38,160 Speaker 1: that's why I want you to scan it. I want 475 00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:39,919 Speaker 1: to see if any fault comes. Coach come up to 476 00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:43,479 Speaker 1: give you a direction, All right, sir, okay? Yeah. So 477 00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:47,280 Speaker 1: with it taking a while, uh got all that. I'll 478 00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:50,440 Speaker 1: do all that to to investigate it. With it taking 479 00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:53,840 Speaker 1: a while to jump into four wheel high, is that 480 00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:55,959 Speaker 1: a concern or is it just maybe it's just not 481 00:23:56,000 --> 00:24:01,880 Speaker 1: warm enough or what's what's what's what's a while? Um, 482 00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:06,000 Speaker 1: I don't know, five ten minutes maybe, Yeah, that's that's 483 00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:12,120 Speaker 1: just and I just kind of let it. Yeah, that's 484 00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:14,639 Speaker 1: that's a problem. I would be looking at. You know, 485 00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:17,439 Speaker 1: first I would determine is it really in four wheel 486 00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:20,400 Speaker 1: at the transfer case, because what happens is it will 487 00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:23,639 Speaker 1: engage at the transfer case. For example, where the you know, 488 00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:26,480 Speaker 1: it's just an on off motor, Robert, it just it 489 00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:28,080 Speaker 1: just takes it and moves it from high to low, 490 00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:30,679 Speaker 1: low to high or neutral or wherever, um, you know, 491 00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:32,720 Speaker 1: it'll put it into high. So the transfer case will 492 00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:35,320 Speaker 1: spend the front drive shift and that will spend the 493 00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:38,399 Speaker 1: front differential. But until until the this this should have 494 00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:42,600 Speaker 1: vacuum hubs up front, automatic vacuum hubs. Until those hubs engage, 495 00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:46,800 Speaker 1: you're never gonna get four wheel drive operation. And I've 496 00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:49,560 Speaker 1: got to say eight percent of the problems when they're 497 00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:53,280 Speaker 1: slow engagement is issues with those front vacuum actual waiters. 498 00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:55,640 Speaker 1: Those become the real problem. And that's where I think 499 00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:57,840 Speaker 1: you want ahead. So take a look at those and 500 00:24:57,840 --> 00:24:59,639 Speaker 1: we can kind of talk about it from there. All right, 501 00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:00,879 Speaker 1: if you need more, you know where to find me. 502 00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:04,760 Speaker 1: Eight five zero nine zero runn naming the car doctor 503 00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:18,480 Speaker 1: coming back right after this, welcome back running the car 504 00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:20,960 Speaker 1: docks and let's go over and talk to Patel in Indiana. Potel, 505 00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:22,879 Speaker 1: how have you been, sir? Glad to hear from you. 506 00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:27,040 Speaker 1: What's going on? How you doing good? What's cooking? Hey? 507 00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:32,200 Speaker 1: I have that twelve seeing an old drive which takes 508 00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:36,800 Speaker 1: two tires really fast, like maybe two miles? Right, this 509 00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:39,560 Speaker 1: is a this is a run flat car, right, correct 510 00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:42,520 Speaker 1: it is? And I put the regular tires. Of course 511 00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:46,000 Speaker 1: it's not gonna last that long. Even the un flat 512 00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:48,359 Speaker 1: lasted like forty thousands, so I have had Let me 513 00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:50,399 Speaker 1: just go to the half mark like a little bit 514 00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:54,600 Speaker 1: half priced tires. But it's sort of issue that this 515 00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:57,480 Speaker 1: issue is. We got the tires, and of course it's 516 00:25:57,560 --> 00:26:00,760 Speaker 1: like kind of prescription how to do the alignment. So 517 00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:04,800 Speaker 1: I did the alignment and the alignment guy is a friend. 518 00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:08,440 Speaker 1: He goes, but tell your front to is perfect real 519 00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:10,960 Speaker 1: told there is an adhestment. It's a little bit out. 520 00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:14,560 Speaker 1: So there are two choices he gave me, like either 521 00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:18,600 Speaker 1: you open everything up and put the scenes there. But 522 00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:23,240 Speaker 1: he was suggesting that is some aftermarket solution. Like the 523 00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:25,520 Speaker 1: big names in the front end parts they do like 524 00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:32,520 Speaker 1: just ment control arms. It makes adjustable control arms and 525 00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:36,720 Speaker 1: tyrods that you actually get to. Okay, So I have 526 00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:39,400 Speaker 1: a body works, the toad, the two and of course 527 00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:42,320 Speaker 1: there's three hours labor. And I thought if three years labeled, 528 00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:45,640 Speaker 1: I can swept the front end parts myself and get 529 00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:49,399 Speaker 1: the alignment. Already paid the lifetime alignment twice when Sears 530 00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:52,320 Speaker 1: got closed in New Jersey's live in New Jersey, and 531 00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:55,800 Speaker 1: now I paid the Pep Pep boys guys a lifetime alignment. 532 00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:59,440 Speaker 1: So I was suggesting, if I do the movies out, 533 00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:03,200 Speaker 1: is that the good option to go with? Yeah, I would, 534 00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:05,120 Speaker 1: I'd have no problem putting a Moog piece in there. 535 00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:07,040 Speaker 1: I think Mood makes some of the best to after market, 536 00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:09,560 Speaker 1: you know, front end pieces in the industry. You know, 537 00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:12,840 Speaker 1: I'm sort of floored when it comes to steering linkage 538 00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:15,040 Speaker 1: still after forty six years or forty five years in 539 00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:17,320 Speaker 1: the business that you know where Moog will put a 540 00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:20,800 Speaker 1: grease fitting in and supply some really great technology, some 541 00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:23,280 Speaker 1: of the manufacturers still don't do grease fittings. I don't 542 00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:27,640 Speaker 1: get why. You know, they'll tell you that. Some manufacturers 543 00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:29,160 Speaker 1: will tell you the O E. M s will tell 544 00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:31,040 Speaker 1: you that their part is a lifetime get you know, 545 00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:34,159 Speaker 1: it'll last a lifetime. And I keep thinking, who's lifetime? 546 00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:37,199 Speaker 1: Because I keep changing them and putting in replacement tyrods 547 00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:39,800 Speaker 1: and control arms and ball joints. I'm not sure whose 548 00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:43,720 Speaker 1: lifetime they're talking about their lifetimes Like as you always say, 549 00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:47,440 Speaker 1: five years and you just buy a new one. I 550 00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:50,440 Speaker 1: guess the greatest and latest, just just go buy a 551 00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:54,680 Speaker 1: new car, right exactly, So, so I have no problem 552 00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:58,520 Speaker 1: putting the Mood stuff in. Now that being said, you know, 553 00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:02,840 Speaker 1: just make sure there are different levels of move We've 554 00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:05,800 Speaker 1: learned over the last six or seven years there's they 555 00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:07,800 Speaker 1: have it. They have it. Uh, there's another way to 556 00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:10,399 Speaker 1: say it. There's a cheaper important line. There is a 557 00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:13,040 Speaker 1: you know what I call their direct line made here 558 00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:15,720 Speaker 1: in the States, um or made with a better quality 559 00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:18,520 Speaker 1: of component. And you know, I always whenever I order move, 560 00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:20,639 Speaker 1: I want um for lack of a better way to 561 00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:23,600 Speaker 1: say it, their frontline stuff. I want their top I don't. 562 00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:25,640 Speaker 1: I don't. I'm not looking to save money on front 563 00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:32,040 Speaker 1: end parts. And you know, just just because uh, you know, 564 00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:35,639 Speaker 1: number one, it's it's it's labor intensive. But more importantly 565 00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:40,760 Speaker 1: it's front end and steering. It's it's safety. It's you know, 566 00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:43,640 Speaker 1: we want to be sure traveling down the interstate at 567 00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:47,360 Speaker 1: seventy and that's if you're in the slow lane trying 568 00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:49,880 Speaker 1: not to get hit by everybody else doing eighty. And 569 00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:57,120 Speaker 1: I wouldn't do it stuff. You know, I really what 570 00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:00,840 Speaker 1: part I place the control And while I that wanted 571 00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:04,400 Speaker 1: to replace the fox too, because well wait, put like 572 00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:08,200 Speaker 1: a little bit of load. It just the real rear 573 00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:12,360 Speaker 1: the minivan just goes like all the way to the Okay, 574 00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:14,960 Speaker 1: well well wait, the first part of the conversation was 575 00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:17,800 Speaker 1: that you needed control arms or or tyrod ins for 576 00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:21,280 Speaker 1: the back or tyroder inner tyrod sleeps for the back. Right, 577 00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:24,640 Speaker 1: So there you're gonna use mook stuff. Um, now you're 578 00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:28,280 Speaker 1: asking me about control arms for the front, not the 579 00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:30,800 Speaker 1: front the rear. The front start good because front he 580 00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:33,640 Speaker 1: checked it out, front toe he fixed it. The front 581 00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:35,800 Speaker 1: toes is not a problem with the rear. Once he goes, 582 00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:38,479 Speaker 1: you have a problem with the rear. Two and there 583 00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:40,760 Speaker 1: is like just men there. Well, what I would do is, 584 00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:44,080 Speaker 1: if whatever move makes in the way of a problem sovereign, 585 00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:46,800 Speaker 1: I believe they're going to make an upper control arm 586 00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:50,400 Speaker 1: to give you adjustment for camber and you know, a 587 00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:53,480 Speaker 1: toe piece, I would put her all on their hotel. 588 00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:55,280 Speaker 1: It sounds like you've got enough kids there that you're 589 00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:58,240 Speaker 1: gonna keep this car for a while that, um, you 590 00:29:58,280 --> 00:29:59,960 Speaker 1: know it's it's you want to try and keep tire 591 00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:02,080 Speaker 1: is on it as long as you can. It would 592 00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:04,720 Speaker 1: make the most sense. Right, you're spending money, what's a 593 00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:06,640 Speaker 1: couple extra hundred bucks at this point, just to make 594 00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:09,160 Speaker 1: sure that the rear of the vehicle is completely adjustable. 595 00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:11,840 Speaker 1: I think that makes it easier for you and and 596 00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:14,880 Speaker 1: you know, easier in the long run for for you know, 597 00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:17,440 Speaker 1: trying to get the maximum life out of the tires. 598 00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:22,400 Speaker 1: Now you know, onto shocks if you're doing shocks, And 599 00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:24,440 Speaker 1: that was going to be part of my conversation too. 600 00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:27,000 Speaker 1: We've actually seen cars and you know, you'll see him 601 00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:29,360 Speaker 1: going down the interstate, the cars traveling down the road. 602 00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:32,000 Speaker 1: The person behind the wheel doesn't realize it, but you're 603 00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:34,480 Speaker 1: looking at the right or the left rear tire, the 604 00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:37,760 Speaker 1: tires bouncing as it moves, and yet the car doesn't. 605 00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:40,320 Speaker 1: The car doesn't shake. It's just that the tire is 606 00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:43,000 Speaker 1: hitting the road. Uh, you know, blah blah blah blah's 607 00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:46,920 Speaker 1: bouncing like a basketball, like a mini ball bounce. You know. Yeah, 608 00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:51,240 Speaker 1: you know, shocks can cause a tire to wear prematurely. 609 00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:54,520 Speaker 1: They can clearly have an effect. So I think is 610 00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:58,160 Speaker 1: you know, you to be honest with the doctors and 611 00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:01,800 Speaker 1: you're mechanic because I had a convenience or a gas 612 00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:04,960 Speaker 1: station for seven year in New Hampshire and I loaded 613 00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:08,040 Speaker 1: up like that Maniven like no tomorrow, like I'm guessing 614 00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:12,760 Speaker 1: can water case five generates case and all that with 615 00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:15,680 Speaker 1: five people in the van. So I abused the first 616 00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:19,360 Speaker 1: seven years with that minivan loading the Sam's Club, everything 617 00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:22,440 Speaker 1: I can tweet in the car, so I think I 618 00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:25,160 Speaker 1: might have to replace the spring as well as the 619 00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:28,200 Speaker 1: sock to like they go like together. I would I 620 00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:30,640 Speaker 1: would remember the spring is what supports the car. The 621 00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:35,320 Speaker 1: shock controls the spring and how to hit the Toyota 622 00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:38,600 Speaker 1: for the spring. Or I can go with the better 623 00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:42,040 Speaker 1: quality supermarket price it both ways. If Move makes a 624 00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:43,920 Speaker 1: spring for that, you might as well just buy all 625 00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:47,600 Speaker 1: Moove and okay, you know, and then just pick your shock, 626 00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:49,800 Speaker 1: pick your poison from wherever.

So you may 652 00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:01,280 Speaker 1: have to put the car um support it up in 653 00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:04,479 Speaker 1: the air, or maybe it's going to be put it together, 654 00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:07,600 Speaker 1: get it down to the local shop where you're having 655 00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:10,160 Speaker 1: the alignment done, where you paid for your lifetime alignment, 656 00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:13,880 Speaker 1: et cetera. And you know, when it's up in the air, 657 00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:15,960 Speaker 1: you'll have to throw the guy a couple of bucks. 658 00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:18,520 Speaker 1: Maybe maybe he'll do it just because he remembers you. 659 00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:21,120 Speaker 1: But you want to uh, you know, loosen the control 660 00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:23,800 Speaker 1: arm nuts where there's a rubber bushing and then retighten 661 00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:26,600 Speaker 1: it because that pushing will will kind of roll and 662 00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:30,240 Speaker 1: kick because it's underload when you uh um, when you 663 00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:32,440 Speaker 1: uh you know, put it together.

Hey, speaking of working on cars, you know, 668 00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:46,000 Speaker 1: as a shop owner, you know there's just that certain 669 00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:48,160 Speaker 1: time of the year, that that last turn of the 670 00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:50,160 Speaker 1: key in the door when you go, wow, what a 671 00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:52,200 Speaker 1: year it's been. And Christmas Eve has always been kind 672 00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:55,760 Speaker 1: of special. Coming up next an adventure not too long ago, 673 00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:58,360 Speaker 1: in the far distant past. I'm running aiming the car doctor. 674 00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:15,160 Speaker 1: I'll be back right after the US Christmas. It was 675 00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:18,000 Speaker 1: the night before Christmas and all through the dark, not 676 00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:21,000 Speaker 1: a car was still broken. All the plugs had their spark, 677 00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:24,080 Speaker 1: the wrenches were stashed all snug in their boxes. While 678 00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:27,640 Speaker 1: me by myself was having Christmas party leftovers, some bagels 679 00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:30,319 Speaker 1: and lockses. When out from the lot, there rose such 680 00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:32,759 Speaker 1: a clatter. I sprang to my feet and yelled, hey, 681 00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:36,359 Speaker 1: what's the matter now? What to my bloodshot, tired eyes 682 00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:40,239 Speaker 1: should appear? But some crazy old guy went sleigh with reindeer. 683 00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:43,200 Speaker 1: I winced, and I cried, Oh great, just one more. 684 00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:45,080 Speaker 1: I'd rather sit back, have a cup of tea and 685 00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:48,000 Speaker 1: some s'mores. He approached the front door with a smile 686 00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:50,480 Speaker 1: so bright I quickly unlocked it, turned back on the 687 00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:54,200 Speaker 1: office light. Excuse me, kind sir, but I'm having some trouble. 688 00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:56,880 Speaker 1: The left runner of my sleigh has started to wubble. 689 00:34:57,440 --> 00:34:59,319 Speaker 1: The balance is wrong, and it pulls to the right 690 00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:01,879 Speaker 1: the rain. You are working too hard this cold night. 691 00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:04,399 Speaker 1: I have so much to do and no time left 692 00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:06,319 Speaker 1: to do it. Do you think that you could well 693 00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:09,840 Speaker 1: please get right to it without saying a word. I 694 00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:12,200 Speaker 1: went to work right away, too bad the alignment machine 695 00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:15,399 Speaker 1: and no specs for a sledg. Meanwhile, the reindeer were 696 00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:18,400 Speaker 1: prancing around that rootolp in common with a couple of clowns. 697 00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:22,400 Speaker 1: In a matter of moments time one point too, the 698 00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:25,359 Speaker 1: runner was straight in the alignment done too. I helped 699 00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:27,879 Speaker 1: him load up all the presents but one. He left 700 00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:29,839 Speaker 1: it to pay me for cash, and he had none. 701 00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:32,719 Speaker 1: I hope it's from Snap on a half inch drive 702 00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:35,880 Speaker 1: air gun. He started the slave by merely calling their 703 00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:39,200 Speaker 1: names on dash Er and Dancer, Donner and Blitzen, get 704 00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:42,680 Speaker 1: up off your butts, Rudolph, Comment and Vixen. It started 705 00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:44,799 Speaker 1: to idle and float in the air. Then Rudolph lit 706 00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:48,000 Speaker 1: up the sky with his nose extraordinary, and I heard 707 00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:50,840 Speaker 1: him exclaim, this could have been quite a mess. The 708 00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:56,319 Speaker 1: car doctor rings true mechanics aren't expensive, they're really priceless. 709 00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:18,240 Speaker 1: He marry and bro and all your chriss blessers be wise.
