1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:02,640
Speaker 1: Ron and Aien. I keep thinking of Stephen first and

2
00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:05,200
Speaker 1: animal House. You know, the old boy is this great thing?

3
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:08,039
Speaker 1: And the old boy is this great that we get

4
00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:12,000
Speaker 1: to sit here and talk about cars, and very great

5
00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:15,640
Speaker 1: the car Doctor. There's a couple of rules about electricity,

6
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:18,840
Speaker 1: and one of them has to do with inducing water

7
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:22,760
Speaker 1: into an electrical motor. The water level in the evaporator,

8
00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:26,160
Speaker 1: and every time he made a turn in the proper direction,

9
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:33,519
Speaker 1: the water sloshed over and filled the blower motor. He

10
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:38,239
Speaker 1: Welcome to the radio home of Ron and Anian the

11
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:42,720
Speaker 1: Car Doctor. Since this is where car owners the world

12
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:47,319
Speaker 1: overturned to for their definitive opinion on automotive repair. If

13
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 1: your mechanics giving you a busy signal, pick up the

14
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 1: phone and call in. The garage doors are open, but

15
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 1: I am here to take your calls at eight five

16
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:05,839
Speaker 1: and now anticipate it's deeply religious ex security. He running, Hey,

17
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:07,960
Speaker 1: it's time to start your engines along. Welcome Ron and

18
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 1: Ey and the car Doctor here at five five five

Speaker 1: Doctor seven phone number called the applause, folks, we're trying

21
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:17,040
Speaker 1: to get a show going here eight five five five

Speaker 1: roll along and help you fix your broken car whatever

24
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 1: it might be. Your your car question and maybe your

25
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:27,760
Speaker 1: question about self driving cars. Good lord, we've gotten a

26
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 1: bunch of them. Um getting ready for the Mr Clark

27
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 1: Howard interview in the next couple of weeks. We've been

28
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 1: talking about that. If you've got a question for Mr

29
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 1: Clark Howard, you can send it along by all means

30
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 1: and we'll be glad to relay it to him. But

31
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:41,560
Speaker 1: you've definitely got some very good points comments about no

32
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 1: steering wheels and in self driving cars and can a

33
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 1: self driving car or maybe i'll read some of these

34
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 1: later self driving cars. Someone wants to know, becauld a

35
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 1: self driving car? Tell the difference between a child running

36
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 1: towards the road while chasing a ball compared to a

37
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 1: dog running towards the road chasing a ball. Would it

38
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 1: would it see either one? Is there a height limitation

39
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 1: on its ability to see? You know, very good questions.

40
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 1: You know things we don't think about. And you know

41
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 1: there's there's so many daily, everyday scenarios of the what

42
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 1: ifs and the wood could have should is? You know,

43
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 1: it will be interesting We had a We'll talk about

44
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 1: that later. Let's let's kick the garage doors open. I

45
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 1: just had a great book, but I don't want to

46
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 1: I don't want to do it right now. Let's go

47
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: and talk to Roger and Texas. Oh six nissanic Sterilet's

48
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 1: pull one right out of the gate because the phones

49
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 1: are backed up at zero rondin Indian. You're on the phone.

50
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 1: What's going on, Roger? How can I help? Well, I've

51
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 1: got this two thousand and six Nissan xter for World

52
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 1: drive UM four point o engine, and it constantly is

53
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 1: getting hot. And I have replaced everything that is what

54
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 1: are related? And I am so you know out there

55
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 1: with what's going going onto it? I don't understand. Well,

56
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,800
Speaker 1: let's let's talk a little bit. So it overheats, it

57
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 1: overheats where by gauge or physical steam both? So I

58
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 1: can pull up. I can pull up to a traffic light.

59
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:24,360
Speaker 1: Now I have a watch. My gauge is I have

60
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 1: a fluctuation on my oil um oil gage that goes

61
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 1: starts to go down. Now my engine when that happens,

62
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 1: my water temperature gage starts to go up. I won't

63
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 1: drive but maybe five minutes or so, and then the

64
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 1: it starts getting up, it will get hot enough to

65
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 1: kill my engine, and I've pull over and it will

66
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I gotta wait for it to

67
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 1: cool off and then show it out with water. My

68
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 1: water is going somewhere other than overflowing. So it's it's

69
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 1: it's it's physically losing and using water or coolant, as

70
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 1: you're saying, as far as I can see it, because

71
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:30,160
Speaker 1: I've constantly have to put water in it. Okay, joke

72
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 1: it in. The man told me that I had on

73
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 1: the head gasket exhaust side. It's probably where the water

74
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 1: was going. I can't see any water. Right, Well, you're

75
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 1: not you're not going. You're not going to Roger, So

76
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:53,920
Speaker 1: let me cut to the chase. They you're gonna tell

77
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:58,159
Speaker 1: me they put head gaskets in it, right, yes? Today?

78
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 1: And then you're gonna tell me that you're gonna tell

79
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:01,919
Speaker 1: I mean you did a radiator or water pump and

80
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 1: a thermostat? Yes? Did you did you change? Did you

81
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 1: change both thermostats? I put in a water temperature gauge? Nope?

82
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,600
Speaker 1: Did you change? There are two thermostats in that engine,

83
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 1: one on the front, one in the back. Went in

84
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 1: the front and one in the back. Yes, yeah, there

85
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 1: are see verify that. I am. I am almost certain

86
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 1: there are two thermostats in that engine. Now, now my

87
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:42,599
Speaker 1: concern is that you're driving it. Let's let's just stop

88
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:45,600
Speaker 1: for a second. Let's say that that were thermostat. If

89
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,159
Speaker 1: it's the engine I'm thinking of, that that rear thermostat

90
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 1: is defective, not allowing proper circulation. If they did head

91
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:57,720
Speaker 1: gaskets and they didn't verify temperature and it's still had

92
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 1: a defective thermostat, it could have hurt the new head gaskets.

93
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 1: Anything's possible. Until this vehicle is sorted out, you know,

94
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,159
Speaker 1: anything is possible. But the issue becomes there's there's a

95
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:11,599
Speaker 1: twofold problem here. If you're physically putting coolant or water

96
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 1: in and it's disappearing, then it's it's either head gasket

97
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:19,839
Speaker 1: or and I've I've never seen this. It's usually the

98
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 1: other way around. But by now the trans fluid should

99
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 1: be over full. I've seen problems with the radiator and

100
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:28,039
Speaker 1: the trans cooler. Trans cooler issues on this sort of

101
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 1: common um Radiator efficiency very common, but you've done a

102
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:34,480
Speaker 1: radiator and I think that eliminates the trans cooler issue.

103
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 1: I would be very careful and concerned. What's that rear

104
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:41,040
Speaker 1: thermostats part in this? And how do we know that

105
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 1: that head gasket has been properly repaired at this point,

106
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 1: I would I would dare say it would be who

107
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:50,280
Speaker 1: the repair shop that did the head gaskets to do

108
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 1: what we call a coolant combustion gas test where they

109
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:58,599
Speaker 1: can Actually there's a it's it's kind of like a

110
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 1: Turkey based ter plays tick bulb type of tool that

111
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:05,799
Speaker 1: a blue liquid goes in the bottom. It will inhale

112
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 1: fumes at the radiator cap opening. Once the vehicle is

113
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:12,559
Speaker 1: warm and cool and circulating. If that coolant changes color

114
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 1: from blue to green or blue to yellow, I forget

115
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 1: exactly which way it goes, but if as it changes color,

116
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 1: I think green is good and yellow is a indication

117
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 1: of a head gas gut failure combusting gas in the coolant.

118
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 1: And if that's the case, then it's gotta come back apart,

119
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 1: or at least it's got to be diagnosed further. The

120
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 1: other way they could do that, obviously, is with a

121
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 1: five gas engine analyzer, but um, not everybody has one

122
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 1: of those anymore. Um, But you know, why did it fail?

123
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 1: Head gaskets, if it did, if it did, if it

124
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 1: failed head gaskets didn't do that because they were improperly done,

125
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 1: or there's maybe a crack and a head or something else.

126
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 1: Or is there a second thermostat in this and I

127
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 1: think there is. I believe there's a thermostat in the

128
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 1: back of this motor. If I remember right, it's it's

129
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 1: eleven years ago, twelve years ago. But um, that can

130
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 1: be defective and act flow as well. Yeah. Now, when

131
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 1: I broke the truck it it's had a say the

132
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 1: bypass bypassing at the bottom of the radiator from because

133
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 1: of I guess the transmission running through there. They bypassed

134
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 1: that cooling the transmission and when they put into the

135
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 1: radiator and I've had to put in two different radiators right,

136
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 1: which still gets hot. And they said they you know,

137
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 1: they put in the water pump when they was putting

138
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:50,680
Speaker 1: it back together. Okay, ask them, ask him to ask

139
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 1: them to verify, Roger, not not not to repeat it,

140
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 1: but ask them to verify if that has a second

141
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 1: thermostatic there. For something in my mind tells me stating

142
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:04,840
Speaker 1: the front stating the back not uncommon for both to

143
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:06,840
Speaker 1: be replaced for one or the other to be an issue.

144
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 1: And also then verify if you're losing coolant or water.

145
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 1: I don't care if the head gaskets were just done.

146
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:16,199
Speaker 1: Where's the water or cool and going there's there's a

147
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 1: leak in combustion. Take a look at engine oil, um bet,

148
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 1: and you won't see it. I've also seen where it

149
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 1: just it'll put water right in the cylinder and get

150
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 1: pumped right back out right through the exhausting You'll never

151
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:28,679
Speaker 1: see It'll just it'll just evaporate a steam and come

152
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 1: out of the tailpipe. Um in small amounts. But it

153
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 1: just it just sounds like you've still got some form

154
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 1: of a combustion gas leak going on, possibly a head gasket.

155
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 1: You do that for me. You do that, get them

156
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 1: to check that in the next week or two. You

157
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 1: call me back, let me know what the result is

158
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 1: that we can talk about it further. But trust me,

159
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,720
Speaker 1: there's an answer to this. They just haven't looked hard enough.

160
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:49,080
Speaker 1: And let's see if we can give them some help

161
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 1: and move it all along the way in a positive manner.

Speaker 1: In in Kansas in Kansas, Missouri, Kansas City, Kansas City, Missouri. Okay,

186
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 1: I was gonna say Kansas, Missouri doesn't sound right. So

187
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 1: you gotta be out there somewhere, you know. I don't

188
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 1: get out much. Yeah, but you know in New York

189
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 1: we have Florida, New York. Well that's true, we have Florida,

190
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 1: New York. We also we also have um, I can't

191
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 1: say that on TV, on radio wherever we are. Ken Hurry,

192
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 1: I've asked me your question so I can get out

193
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,200
Speaker 1: of this whole A man, what's going on? But okay, Well,

194
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 1: first of all, I'll tell you what. I enjoy your podcast.

195
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:28,480
Speaker 1: That's where I found out about you. And they're great.

196
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:30,720
Speaker 1: They really thank you for gold Mine. As far as

197
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:35,079
Speaker 1: I'm concerned. I I took my car in and they

198
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 1: told me that my left and I just had these

199
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:40,719
Speaker 1: rear breaks changed fifteen thousand miles ago out a year

200
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:43,720
Speaker 1: and a half. And uh, they told me the left

201
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:47,560
Speaker 1: rear break was completely worn down almost than nothing. So

202
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:49,960
Speaker 1: it would appear like I assumed the caliber is sticking.

203
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 1: Is that what you would just say? Yeah, I would

204
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 1: think either the caliper or is the I think on

205
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 1: an three element the parking break cable is part of

206
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:01,840
Speaker 1: the caliper correct that they say that, No, it's I

207
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 1: looked at up and it is. Actually is it a

208
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 1: separate shoe set up inside the road. It's in the

209
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 1: shoe inside the road. So but are they gonna do

210
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:15,720
Speaker 1: anything for you? Well, I haven't, I haven't they. It

211
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 1: was towards the end of the day and he said

212
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 1: all those people you know, and I say, said bring

213
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 1: it back? And uh, And I told him I was

214
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 1: a really disappointed. Only breaks would only last fifteen thousand miles.

215
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:27,719
Speaker 1: My question is from looking at how the assembly does

216
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 1: I had breaks apart, but it's been a you know,

217
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 1: you know, it's been a few years and I just

218
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:34,200
Speaker 1: don't have time to work on that stuff anymore, as

219
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 1: much as I enjoy it. Uh. The is it true

220
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:42,840
Speaker 1: that you can replace those brake pads without lubricating the

221
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:51,560
Speaker 1: caliber pins? True? By whose standard? Publicly? But I take

222
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 1: and from everything I've seen from looking at stuff, I

223
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:58,439
Speaker 1: could actually go in there, leave those caliber pins in,

224
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 1: never move them. They don't come out in the words

225
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 1: when I when I take the caliber off? Is that correct? Okay?

226
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 1: Where are you going with this? Are you saying you

227
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:10,680
Speaker 1: think they did this, they didn't lose anything, or yes,

228
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 1: I think They'm I would have to assume either that

229
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 1: they used the wrong lot. Well, either that or is

230
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 1: you know, the question becomes that the caliper is stuck.

231
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 1: It becomes a question of how did its stick? Did

232
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:25,840
Speaker 1: it fail hydraulically? Is the pistons stuck in the boar

233
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 1: that it's not retracting or is it? Is it as

234
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:32,040
Speaker 1: you say, the caliper pin and the pad is stuck

235
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:36,560
Speaker 1: on the slide, and that's and that's going to be

236
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 1: the key to how the failure occurred, you know what

237
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 1: what went bad? And then the other question I've got is, so,

238
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 1: if it happened on the left side, what does the

239
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:48,200
Speaker 1: right side look like? Light side look sign okay, But

240
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 1: what does it look like in terms of lube? What

241
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:51,720
Speaker 1: does it look like in terms of you if you

242
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 1: take if you take the wheel off the right side,

243
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 1: you know, put it on a jack stand or a

244
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 1: lift or whatever, grab the caliper. Can you rock the

245
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 1: caliper and move it on its slides? Move it on

246
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:02,720
Speaker 1: its pins, so to speak, If it's free and loose

247
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:06,720
Speaker 1: and easy, okay, But if that's bone dry, also we

248
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 1: loop caliper slides. You have to loop caliper slides, you know.

249
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:12,959
Speaker 1: And I don't. I don't. I don't understand this. You

250
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 1: don't hear me say that often, Ken, But I don't

251
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 1: understand this. New cars don't have the brakes lubricated. The

252
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 1: slides are not lubricated from the factory on a lot

253
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 1: of new cars. And I inquired as to why, and

254
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 1: the answer I got what, GM, for example, has has

255
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 1: proven test results that are lubricant on the caliper slide

256
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 1: will when the car is in the paint booth, when

257
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 1: the car is being painted, that chemical, the the aromatic

258
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 1: of it, will affect the quality of the paint being

259
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 1: applied to the vehicle. So they leave it off and

260
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 1: they leave him dry. And I'm sitting there going but

261
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 1: but you know, that's one of those you know, you know,

262
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 1: it doesn't It doesn't make any sense to me. I

263
00:14:56,720 --> 00:15:00,720
Speaker 1: and I've seen that more than once. So you know,

264
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:03,480
Speaker 1: caliper slide's gotta get lubricated. There's nothing you can do

265
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 1: for the internal of the piston. That just becomes what

266
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 1: kind of shape is it in? How many miles are

267
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 1: on the car about almost two hundred thousand now original calipers.

268
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 1: I think so my daughter, my son, my daughter had

269
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 1: and they kept back struct I haven't been able to

270
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 1: transpose their records into my computer, so I don't know

271
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:27,800
Speaker 1: for sure. I would suspect I suspect it would be

272
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 1: the original caliber. How long are been going to these guys? Oh,

273
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 1: you know, a couple of years. And uh it's a dealer.

274
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:39,560
Speaker 1: I wish, you know, I wish I could find some

275
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 1: independent thing here that I trusted. But I don't. You know,

276
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 1: my father has been dead fifty years. He was in

277
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 1: the rug business. I tell this story all the time.

278
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 1: There's only one chance to piss off a customer. And

279
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 1: that's that's basically what it is. As graphic as that is,

280
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 1: that's just the way it works. Um. I think if

281
00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 1: it were me and I want you coming back, and

282
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:00,840
Speaker 1: I want I want to be your guy, I can't

283
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:03,320
Speaker 1: give you the break job for for free. Um, But

284
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 1: maybe I can cut you a deal. Maybe I can

285
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 1: do on labor, give you a little discount on parts,

286
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 1: give you a warm fuzzy make you feel better, and

287
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 1: you know, charge your regular boat on the on the caliper.

288
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:17,920
Speaker 1: I'll make something there. I'm gonna eat a little bit

289
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 1: on this, but I'm gonna get you to come back

290
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 1: because I want to show you that I'm gonna take

291
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 1: care of you. You'd go for that, right, absolutely? Would you?

292
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 1: Wouldn't you think that? Would you be disappointed if rear

293
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 1: brakes came back to you fifteen thousand miles later? Otter

294
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 1: how old the car is? Oh? Yeah? Absolutely? Now, now,

295
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 1: in all fairness, I'll get a car in. I'll do

296
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 1: a break job on a car with a hunting five

297
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 1: thousand miles. Ken, we did your brakes. I looked at

298
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 1: your brakes. It needs pads and rotors. The calipers test good.

299
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 1: I can't find anything wrong with them. I am going

300
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 1: to I have this conversation all day long. I am

301
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:55,400
Speaker 1: going to lose the slides because Ron goes to the

302
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:58,560
Speaker 1: church and religion of c y a Oto repair. You know,

303
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 1: cover cover your fill in the blank. And I can't

304
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 1: swork twice in the same segment, so you know it's

305
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:07,919
Speaker 1: it's And then Ken can decide do I want to

306
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:09,640
Speaker 1: do calipers now or do I want to roll the dice?

307
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 1: And then he's gonna ask me wrong, what's the longevity?

308
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:15,120
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna go you know, sometimes my answer is listen.

309
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:16,840
Speaker 1: I don't think the replacement part I can find for

310
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:18,880
Speaker 1: your particular cars gonna be any better than what's on there.

311
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 1: So let's go with what's on there. It's working. Um,

312
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:24,720
Speaker 1: you know, there's there's two schools of thought. Again, it's

313
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:27,800
Speaker 1: how did it fail? Did it fail because the caliper

314
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:29,879
Speaker 1: slides are bone dry and the pad has rusted on

315
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:33,160
Speaker 1: the slide, or did it fail because it's it's hydraulically

316
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 1: the piston is hydraulically locked in the caliper housing And

317
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:40,199
Speaker 1: then there's nothing they can do about that short of

318
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:41,880
Speaker 1: you know, then the then the only way they can

319
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:44,360
Speaker 1: prevent that is just normal break fluid flushes. And then

320
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 1: that's my next question. Has the brake fluid ever been

321
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 1: flushed on this car? Oh? Yeah, I flushed that every

322
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 1: I follow your rules, every thirty thousand miles breaking book

323
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 1: that the N phrase comes out. Yeah. If I'm even

324
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:59,480
Speaker 1: wondering if I shouldn't change the air compressor fluids, you know,

325
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 1: I'm to that point air conditioning. Yeah, I don't. I

326
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:06,920
Speaker 1: do what. I'm sorry, I know what you mean. YEA

327
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 1: to listen, I I do an evac and recover on

328
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 1: household vehicles ACA refrigeraint every two years, if not sooner. Um,

329
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:15,440
Speaker 1: I think you gotta go back and have a conversation

330
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:17,159
Speaker 1: with this guy. You're gonna find out what he's made of.

331
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:20,200
Speaker 1: I think he's entitled to charge of something on the job.

332
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:22,879
Speaker 1: It just depends on how the caliper failed, and it

333
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:24,959
Speaker 1: also depends on what's he made of. I think this

334
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:27,439
Speaker 1: is the moment, This is that cup of coffee moment

335
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:29,680
Speaker 1: of how bad does he want to be your guy?

336
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:32,040
Speaker 1: And how bad does he want to build that relationship?

337
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:34,720
Speaker 1: And this is a key opportunity and chance for both

338
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 1: of you to learn from it. You let me know

339
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:37,960
Speaker 1: what happens. I'm running anating the car doctor. We are

340
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 1: back right after this. Take good care. Hey, welcome back,

341
00:18:56,600 --> 00:19:00,200
Speaker 1: run any of the car docor zero nine zero. We're

342
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:02,119
Speaker 1: up and live and rolling along today. Let's get over

343
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:04,840
Speaker 1: and tok to Miguel in Springfield, Massachusetts. I believe it

344
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:07,880
Speaker 1: isn't anyline gmc sonoma Miguel. Welcome to the car doctor, sir.

345
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:11,880
Speaker 1: How can I help? Yeah? Hi? Uh So, I got

346
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:14,400
Speaker 1: myself in a bit of a pickle right my insurance

347
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:17,879
Speaker 1: and with my insurance company. I uh I have a

348
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:20,240
Speaker 1: hearing coming up and I have to explain to them

349
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 1: why I crashed into a building. All right, brother, let's

350
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 1: see what we can do. How can I help? So basically,

351
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:30,000
Speaker 1: I was driving my dad's old gmc Sonoma. It's A

352
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 1: ninety nine and it was February. I was pulling into work,

353
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:39,440
Speaker 1: and as I was pulling in the the engine started

354
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:44,119
Speaker 1: to surge on its own um And what happened was,

355
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 1: you know, I could control it with the brake, you know,

356
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:48,920
Speaker 1: as it's in drive. Obviously, while the engine surging is

357
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:52,960
Speaker 1: driving the wheels, making the vehicle lurch forward. But it

358
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 1: was easily controllable by just applying the brakes. You know,

359
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:57,920
Speaker 1: if I would have let off the brakes, it probably

360
00:19:57,960 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 1: would have hit a top seed of like ten miles

361
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 1: with the surge, but either way, it was easily controllable.

362
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:05,920
Speaker 1: I pull up to my parking spot, which is directly

363
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:09,960
Speaker 1: in front of the building where I work, and unfortunately,

364
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:12,960
Speaker 1: I guess I'm a victim of circumstance. I guess the

365
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:16,679
Speaker 1: front wheels hit a patch of slush just at the

366
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:20,360
Speaker 1: beginning of the parking spot, causing the a BS to engage.

367
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:23,399
Speaker 1: And these older a B S systems, I guess we're

368
00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 1: pretty touchy, and even though I was standing on the brake,

369
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:30,520
Speaker 1: it just allowed to the vehicle to continue rolling forward.

370
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 1: And at that exact same moment, their vehicle started the

371
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 1: surge because it's in drive, it's rear wheel drive. The

372
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:41,200
Speaker 1: rear wheels were on some relatively clear pavement plenty attraction,

373
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 1: so it just pushed me right into the building. Wow. Wow,

374
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 1: that's tough. That's a tough. And you know, I was

375
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 1: thinking as you were talking, I'm saying, Springfield, Massachusetts in February.

376
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:54,040
Speaker 1: This is not Florida, so it's not ninety degrees. I'm saying,

377
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:56,479
Speaker 1: when does ice come into this conversation? Because ice had

378
00:20:56,520 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 1: to affect something here, So you know, if the conversation

379
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:02,479
Speaker 1: it is, what could cause intermittent high idole on one

380
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 1: of these There's there's a figured it out though. Okay,

381
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 1: what was it? Was it a cleft PCD hose. Well,

382
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:11,840
Speaker 1: so basically what happened was a vacuum line that when

383
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:14,720
Speaker 1: it's the break booster disengaged. Yeah, allowed for a really

384
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 1: massive vacuum leak and it just surged, it kept surging

385
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:20,119
Speaker 1: on it. Tone. Yeah, that's what happens. The rubber hoses

386
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:22,399
Speaker 1: on those by now it's twenty years old and they

387
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 1: start the dry rotten, they get rock hard. Uh. You know,

388
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:29,240
Speaker 1: there's issues with the PCV hose assembly. There's issues with

389
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:33,399
Speaker 1: the intake manifold elbow. There's a there's a couple of

390
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:36,679
Speaker 1: elbows going up off the break booster. They crack and split.

391
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:39,679
Speaker 1: So yeah, you're on target. Um, you know, you just

392
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:41,520
Speaker 1: I would just tell you to take some pictures if

393
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:43,240
Speaker 1: or did you have it fixed already or can you

394
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:47,200
Speaker 1: document the repair going back to your repair shop. Well,

395
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:49,479
Speaker 1: ultimately that's what I'm gonna have to do, but I

396
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:51,800
Speaker 1: wonder if I have a leg to stand on it. Basically,

397
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 1: you know, search charges what they are. They're gonna they're

398
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:58,440
Speaker 1: finding me responsible, and I have to plead my case stating, hey,

399
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:00,240
Speaker 1: there was a malfunction of the vehicle, that is no

400
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 1: fault of my own victimus circumstance. I guess you could say, Um,

401
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 1: I'm hoping I do do well and and they kind

402
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:10,160
Speaker 1: of buy my story. But at the end of the day,

403
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:12,639
Speaker 1: they're not all like you and I that understand the

404
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:14,239
Speaker 1: whole of the ins and outs of what's going on.

405
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:17,119
Speaker 1: And I'm just I'm speaking to the average layman. I

406
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 1: guess about these, uh, these mechanical issues that that aurrise

407
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:23,879
Speaker 1: and hopefully they understand. I just don't know if what

408
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:27,160
Speaker 1: what's weight to your opinion? What what would aside from

409
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:29,920
Speaker 1: having a mechanic maybe write a letter and take some pictures.

410
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 1: What what do you recommend that I do. I'm wondering

411
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:35,280
Speaker 1: if you could show some probable cause. You know, I'm

412
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:37,080
Speaker 1: wondering if you could show the potential that it's a

413
00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 1: common pattern failure, and you know, you could, you know,

414
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:43,280
Speaker 1: you could show them that yet it's not uncommon. The

415
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:46,440
Speaker 1: vehicle is twenty years old, and hopefully they're they're they're

416
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:49,400
Speaker 1: calculating the losses of these based on twenty years. I'm

417
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:51,480
Speaker 1: sure they're calculating your insurance based on the age of

418
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 1: the vehicle. I'm wondering if you showed them a pattern

419
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:57,440
Speaker 1: failure where there are known vacuum leaked rubber hoses, elbows,

420
00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 1: things like that that fail on one ring, if that

421
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:02,959
Speaker 1: would you know, sway them one way or the other.

422
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 1: I wonder if they would apply some practicality to that.

423
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 1: So let's do let's do this. Take my email. Let

424
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:11,200
Speaker 1: me see if I can help you here, Miguel, take

425
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:14,920
Speaker 1: you get something to get a get a you know, crayon, pencil,

426
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:18,440
Speaker 1: pen lipstick whatever. Um. This is the part where I

427
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:20,600
Speaker 1: filled the show with noise because I've learned on radio

428
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:24,679
Speaker 1: sound is very important. And you know, let's do uh,

429
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:27,720
Speaker 1: let's do ron at Car Doctor Show dot com. It's

430
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:30,240
Speaker 1: really easy. Just do ron to spell out car doctor

431
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:32,399
Speaker 1: c A R D O C t R s h

432
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 1: O W. Yeah that's right. I went to school. You

433
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:36,320
Speaker 1: go to school, stupid. Yeah, I came out the same

434
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:39,400
Speaker 1: way ron a Car Doctor Show dot com. And let

435
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:41,800
Speaker 1: me go into the database when I get a chance

436
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:44,439
Speaker 1: between now and Monday and see if I can print

437
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:48,800
Speaker 1: out because I have seen cases of high idle situations?

438
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:51,639
Speaker 1: Would that work? If I could show you a pattern

439
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:53,960
Speaker 1: failure of a high idle condition? What could cause a

440
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:57,200
Speaker 1: high idle condition? That perhaps maybe that's what they're looking for?

441
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:02,160
Speaker 1: A play anything would help? All right, do that and

442
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 1: you send me an email and sooner the better, and

443
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:08,000
Speaker 1: I will send you a PD effort two of pattern

444
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:10,800
Speaker 1: failures and explain to them what this is going to

445
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:12,919
Speaker 1: come out of the one of the databases we use

446
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 1: at the shop as a product called Identifics. Identifis is

447
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:20,280
Speaker 1: a well I guess it's international, but I consider it national.

448
00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:24,040
Speaker 1: It's a nationally recognized database for mechanics. It's kind of

449
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 1: like a physician's PDR. You know, a physician desk reference.

450
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:30,120
Speaker 1: You know, if the person comes in and they're turning

451
00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:32,199
Speaker 1: purple and blue and their left to hurts, you can

452
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 1: look it up and say, hey, what's common what causes that?

453
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:37,960
Speaker 1: And you know that's what identifits can do, it can

454
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:42,480
Speaker 1: it can provide common pattern failures. It doesn't mean every

455
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:46,240
Speaker 1: time that's what's at fault, but on the weird ones,

456
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:49,560
Speaker 1: it gives you a direction. It gets you thinking like, hey,

457
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:53,280
Speaker 1: let me stop and consider this as a potential possible solution.

458
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:56,320
Speaker 1: So I will, I will see what's in there. If

459
00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:58,720
Speaker 1: I can come up with something with high idol um.

460
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:00,880
Speaker 1: I know there's stuff in their they talk about because

461
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:03,960
Speaker 1: it's common to have PCV hose issues. It's common to

462
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:06,800
Speaker 1: have vacuum elbows coming off the intake plan in which

463
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:09,359
Speaker 1: I believe actually lead to the break booster and maybe

464
00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:12,760
Speaker 1: that's the piece that failed. And you know, I could

465
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 1: see it. I could see that truck in a in

466
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:18,440
Speaker 1: a in a in a in an icy condition, ice

467
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:21,640
Speaker 1: patch in the front, dry road in the back. Um,

468
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 1: you know, maybe it's probably too late. Well, it's obviously

469
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:25,240
Speaker 1: it's too late, but it would be it would have

470
00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:26,679
Speaker 1: been nice if you had gotten a picture of the

471
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:30,560
Speaker 1: parking spot showing the ice under You did perfect, and

472
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 1: it shows the ice under the front wheels and the dry,

473
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:36,960
Speaker 1: dry wheels in the back. All right, And then then

474
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:39,399
Speaker 1: the argument not that, not that, not I'm no lawyer brother,

475
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:41,640
Speaker 1: all right, but just trying to be logical about this.

476
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:44,399
Speaker 1: Then the argument becomes is at the fault of whoever

477
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 1: manages the parking space that they allowed ice in the

478
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:53,080
Speaker 1: parking lot where proper ice melting procedures followed. All right,

479
00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:58,960
Speaker 1: Ron and Matt luck you know what. On a quick

480
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:02,639
Speaker 1: side note, I've driven a lot of different vehicles, old ones,

481
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:06,440
Speaker 1: new ones. It seems as though, uh, anti lock break

482
00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:09,800
Speaker 1: systems are traction control systems are much more far advanced

483
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:13,159
Speaker 1: and just do a lot better job of maintaining control

484
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:16,440
Speaker 1: into situations like this, this this being a ninety nine.

485
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:22,840
Speaker 1: It blows me away how much distance this truck travels

486
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:25,440
Speaker 1: when I'm standing on the break in a slash condition.

487
00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:28,040
Speaker 1: I understand the whole idea behind any lock breaks. Back

488
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:30,320
Speaker 1: in the day was to maintain control at high speeds.

489
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:32,360
Speaker 1: But when you're just traveling at five miles an hour

490
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:34,960
Speaker 1: coming up onto a stop sign, I've driven out into

491
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:37,439
Speaker 1: the middle of a road, standing on the break because

492
00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:41,879
Speaker 1: it's it's it's a bit disconcerting. Is that normal for

493
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:46,440
Speaker 1: for that they did? Listen, the reason they improved ABS

494
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:48,840
Speaker 1: and traction control from what it was to what it is,

495
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:52,000
Speaker 1: in my opinion, is because of conditions like that. They're

496
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:54,200
Speaker 1: always trying to make it safer. You know, they don't

497
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:55,840
Speaker 1: add things. They don't add things to car just for

498
00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:57,760
Speaker 1: the sake of adding things to car. They had things

499
00:26:57,800 --> 00:26:59,760
Speaker 1: to car to make them safer. Obviously, a colust more

500
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:01,760
Speaker 1: money and people spend more money. But they're trying to

501
00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:04,879
Speaker 1: keep us safe. I'm not sure why. But um, you know,

502
00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:06,520
Speaker 1: sometimes we need to thin out the hurt a little bit.

503
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:09,280
Speaker 1: But that's another story. Uh, you know, it's just it

504
00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 1: really comes back to that. Yeah, they've they've clearly made

505
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:15,680
Speaker 1: it better than what it was that it would actually

506
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:18,000
Speaker 1: cut power to the rear wheels, the drive wheels and

507
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:20,639
Speaker 1: control it on a much higher level. Mcgal, I gotta go.

508
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:22,840
Speaker 1: The clock's gonna grab me. I'm up against it. But

509
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:25,240
Speaker 1: you send me that email Ron at Car Doctor Show

510
00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:27,360
Speaker 1: dot com and we'll kind of go from there and

511
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:28,639
Speaker 1: let me see what I can get out to you.

521

Speaker 1: talk to Miranda. This is sort of an interesting story.

529
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:23,960
Speaker 1: I don't know if this is so much a call

530
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:26,280
Speaker 1: as we wanted to ask Miranda. A couple of questions.

531
00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:28,480
Speaker 1: She is a new driver. Welcome to the roads, Miranda,

532
00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:31,400
Speaker 1: and welcome to the car doctor. Thanks for staying, Thanks

533
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:34,040
Speaker 1: for getting in touch with us, Hi, thank you for

534
00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:36,720
Speaker 1: having me. So this is like a big deal. You're

535
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:39,239
Speaker 1: you're sixteen years old and you've decided to get your

536
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:43,000
Speaker 1: driver's license. Yes, and I was very excited. And you

537
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 1: know that's sort of not the trend today, right, I mean,

538
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:48,680
Speaker 1: other than Dad's taxi service was coming to an end.

539
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:52,560
Speaker 1: What you know, what prompted you to do this? I mean,

540
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:54,800
Speaker 1: this has gotta be a big deal. You you sounded

541
00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:58,520
Speaker 1: as excited as I was when I got my license. Well,

542
00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:02,960
Speaker 1: I mean in New York you can, um, you can,

543
00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:06,280
Speaker 1: um take your permit test when you turn sixteen, and

544
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:08,400
Speaker 1: then you can take Driver's ED and go through the

545
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:10,880
Speaker 1: whole process to get your license by sixteen and a half.

546
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:14,480
Speaker 1: And UM, I knew that when I turned sixteen, and

547
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:16,760
Speaker 1: I felt ready. And I had been waiting for a

548
00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:19,200
Speaker 1: while watching my older brother learned to drive, and I

549
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:22,480
Speaker 1: just I felt especially once my mom started working full

550
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:26,800
Speaker 1: time and um my dad obviously was working as well. Um,

551
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:29,800
Speaker 1: it was definitely something that I felt I needed to,

552
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:33,160
Speaker 1: um to start working towards so I could kind of

553
00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:35,600
Speaker 1: be more independent take care of myself. As my parents

554
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:38,280
Speaker 1: got busier and as I got busier as a teenager,

555
00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:41,520
Speaker 1: I felt it was very important. So um, I started

556
00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:43,719
Speaker 1: taking driver's ed and I you know, had my permit,

557
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:46,840
Speaker 1: and I went ahead and took my road test yesterday,

558
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:50,400
Speaker 1: and now I have my license. We nervous, of course, Yeah,

559
00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:52,680
Speaker 1: I was really nervous. Yeah, I mean they just they

560
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:55,080
Speaker 1: just sleep the night before you took the test, honestly,

561
00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:56,440
Speaker 1: not really. I was like up in the middle of

562
00:29:56,480 --> 00:30:01,160
Speaker 1: the night. Oh my god, m brother passed. How could

563
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:04,640
Speaker 1: this be exactly? I could hear all that in my head.

564
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:06,760
Speaker 1: I have a note in front of me that cousin

565
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:10,360
Speaker 1: Brucy Bruce Morrow, the great radio Bruce Morrow, sent you

566
00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:15,000
Speaker 1: a note, Dear Miranda, Congratulations, exhilaration, freedom, and most importantly responsibility.

567
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 1: Await you. You know, it's not that a lot of

568
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:22,160
Speaker 1: kids aren't getting their license today, but enough kids aren't

569
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:26,240
Speaker 1: driving today that it's actually made a dent in specific

570
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:28,680
Speaker 1: things like tire sales. Tire companies are going out trying

571
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:31,800
Speaker 1: to educate youngsters about driving and what driving is about,

572
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:33,640
Speaker 1: and how to pick tires and things like that. So

573
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:37,400
Speaker 1: you really are bucking the trend in a sense. Um,

574
00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:39,720
Speaker 1: what do you think of that note from cousin Brucey exhilaration,

575
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:43,000
Speaker 1: freedom and responsibility. How do you take that? Yeah? I

576
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 1: actually looked at that, and I actually read it over

577
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:48,240
Speaker 1: two or three times. Um I saw at first of all,

578
00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:50,560
Speaker 1: I thought it was a very kind gesture. UM. But

579
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:55,160
Speaker 1: I also agreed very much with um all of that. Um. Definitely,

580
00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:58,520
Speaker 1: it's very liberating and um, very you have a lot

581
00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:01,920
Speaker 1: of responsibility being um a young driver out on the road. UM.

582
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:06,240
Speaker 1: So UM, I thought it was very fitting. How Yes,

583
00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:08,680
Speaker 1: he mentioned the exhilaration and the freedom and all of that,

584
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:11,680
Speaker 1: but also the high amount of responsibility that comes with

585
00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:15,040
Speaker 1: being a new driver, being a young driver, UM, driving

586
00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:18,520
Speaker 1: your parents cars, all of that is very important. Now

587
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:20,080
Speaker 1: you have to have a driver with you when you

588
00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:23,840
Speaker 1: go out, correct, Uh not anymore? Okay, So you're you're

589
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:28,000
Speaker 1: you're off permit, you're you're you're you're a driver. Yes,

590
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:29,960
Speaker 1: So where have you gone on your own? So far?

591
00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:33,720
Speaker 1: So far? Nowhere? I was supposed to go this morning.

592
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:36,440
Speaker 1: I was supposed to drive myself, um, somewhere, but then

593
00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:38,400
Speaker 1: my dad wanted to go with me, which is fine,

594
00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:40,440
Speaker 1: not not because of the driving aspect, but we were

595
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:42,920
Speaker 1: just going to um prior services and you wanted to

596
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:46,640
Speaker 1: come along, which was fine. Um, but um, we'll take Dad.

597
00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:48,520
Speaker 1: Why not he's been a sport. Yeah, yeah, it's fine.

598
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:52,360
Speaker 1: So hopefully, I mean maybe sometime this week I'll drive

599
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:54,480
Speaker 1: myself to work or something. Are you gonna Are you

600
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:59,480
Speaker 1: gonna put the five dollars in the glove compartment for emergencies? Uh? Probably,

601
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:03,080
Speaker 1: It's probably more like twenty bucks now, so you know,

602
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:07,080
Speaker 1: and you know that gas emergency in that moment and uh, um,

603
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:09,360
Speaker 1: you know it's a big deal. I remember when I

604
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:12,640
Speaker 1: first started driving my first car that I drove that

605
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:14,920
Speaker 1: I and and actually I've been driving for I've been

606
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:17,240
Speaker 1: driving for a while under aid because I worked on

607
00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:19,360
Speaker 1: a farm and I was driving a dump truck from

608
00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:20,680
Speaker 1: the age of thirteen. And then when I had to

609
00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:22,480
Speaker 1: go from my permit, I was a little scared. I

610
00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:25,040
Speaker 1: remember this and some friends at the time she had

611
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:27,080
Speaker 1: a she had a sixty four Chevy and Palace. So

612
00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:29,520
Speaker 1: we're going back to the early seventies. She said, get

613
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:31,200
Speaker 1: in the car, and I drove a sixty four Chevy

614
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:34,360
Speaker 1: and padad down roots seventeen in Ramsey, New Jersey, which

615
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:35,560
Speaker 1: I think you know where that is. And it was

Speaker 1: just like floating along and um, it's a big deal.

619
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:46,680
Speaker 1: It's it's but trust me, sooner or later it's going

620
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:50,120
Speaker 1: to get to feel normal and you know you'll enjoy

621
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:53,040
Speaker 1: it for what it is. So you know, just to

622
00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:54,600
Speaker 1: be aware. But throw a couple of bucks in the

Speaker 1: And safe travels to Tony. We miss you. Buddy, UM,

657
00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:39,719
Speaker 1: come on home. A couple of questions, and I wanted

658
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:41,399
Speaker 1: to talk about that, this this, I wanted to talk

659
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:44,480
Speaker 1: about this this hour, this, this hour. Yeah, that's proper wranglers,

660
00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:46,880
Speaker 1: Um wrong. A couple of questions from Mr Howard uh

661
00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:49,560
Speaker 1: regarding self driving cars. Gonna self driving car understand the

662
00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:52,760
Speaker 1: difference between a child losing control of a tricycle heading

663
00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:55,560
Speaker 1: down a driveway compared to a person walking to the mailbox.

664
00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:58,680
Speaker 1: And you wonder, you know, will it see so the

665
00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:01,680
Speaker 1: kids coming down the the child's coming down the driveway

666
00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:05,279
Speaker 1: and they lose control of the tricycle. A driver might

667
00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:07,880
Speaker 1: be trained to cast their eye right and left and

668
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:11,360
Speaker 1: see that. Would a self driving car see that? And

669
00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:14,720
Speaker 1: I don't have that answer, And that's again good question.

670
00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:17,120
Speaker 1: The second part of this was could a self driving

671
00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:19,480
Speaker 1: car understand the difference between a child running toward the

672
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:22,760
Speaker 1: road while chasing a ball compared to a dog chasing

673
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:25,040
Speaker 1: a ball while running towards the road because a dog

674
00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:28,040
Speaker 1: might be lower. All right, what's what's their line of sight?

675
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:31,080
Speaker 1: And how will they how will they define that? And

676
00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:33,480
Speaker 1: then what if it's a small dog? What I mean, Granted,

677
00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:36,160
Speaker 1: people shouldn't be playing with dogs near the road. That's

678
00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:39,000
Speaker 1: you know, that's common sense too. We're not trying to

679
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:43,360
Speaker 1: make this completely ridiculous. Um. On a side note, Michael continues,

680
00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:45,360
Speaker 1: I'm a truck driver. The most recent batch of trucks

681
00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:47,719
Speaker 1: we gotta have leading departure of warning. Not only is

682
00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:49,720
Speaker 1: it annoying, but I never realized how often I partially

683
00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:51,400
Speaker 1: leave my lander get very tight to the line for

684
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:53,719
Speaker 1: good reason. It seems on a regular basis I have

685
00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:56,439
Speaker 1: to dodge junk in the road, things like chunks of tire, wood,

686
00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:59,520
Speaker 1: giant potholes, among all other kinds of things. So um,

687
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:01,960
Speaker 1: it makes some good points about self driving cars in

688
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:04,279
Speaker 1: the technology until the next time I'm running any in

689
00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:14,040
Speaker 1: the car. Doctor, good mechanics aren't expensive, they're priceless.
