Speaker 1: Did you read the article this week about Ford and

35
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 1: I wanted to comment about this. Ford is going to

36
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 1: abandon making American sedans by and this comes to me

37
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 1: Curtis of ed Goyda said, goydis capital at gods godis

38
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 1: Capitol dot com u um, and he's always on the

39
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 1: cutting edge, and he sent me an article this week

40
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 1: that cars will be just ten percent of Forwards North

41
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 1: American portfolio by the year. And the thing I don't

42
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 1: understand is and I'll read I'll go over the article

43
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 1: in a minute, but so they're saying that we're not

44
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 1: making enough Crown you know, there's no money in Crown fixed,

45
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 1: which they don't make anymore anyway. Um, and sedans and

46
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 1: full size to dance. The only car that they're really

47
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:26,080
Speaker 1: gonna be using or keeping around is the Mustang and

48
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 1: and something else. Everything is gonna go to an suv

49
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 1: or a small suv well the other cars of the focus.

50
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 1: And they said they were going to be introducing either

51
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 1: six or seven new SUVs right now. The part I

52
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 1: don't get is and and you know, geez, wasn't it

53
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:42,639
Speaker 1: five years ago? And it can't be longer than that

54
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 1: because my memory is not that good. I'm so old now. Um,

55
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 1: wasn't it five years ago when they were talking about

56
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 1: how we wanted to cut truck production because fuel economy

57
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 1: was so terrible on them, and we're building cars would

58
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,239
Speaker 1: allow us to get better fuel economy out of the

59
00:02:56,280 --> 00:03:00,240
Speaker 1: corporate fleet. So you know what's the game here? Um?

60
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 1: You know there's there there's something wrong that I just

61
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 1: and we're gonna build SUVs, which I want to I

62
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 1: want to tell you for the record, and I've said

63
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 1: this for twenty years now. If you look at SUVs,

64
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 1: look at a suburban look at an escape, look at

65
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 1: and explore what do they really look like? Stretched out

66
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 1: bigger versions of station wagons, which everybody wrote the school

67
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 1: and in the sixties and the seventies. Right, So we've

68
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 1: just taken what we once had, condensed it, shaped it,

69
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 1: stretched it, made it bigger, much more expensive, and we've

70
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 1: resold it to the American public. Boy, you guys aren't

71
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,799
Speaker 1: too smart. Sometimes I don't know. But then again, it's

72
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 1: like I told Carpenter Bob the other day. We were

73
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 1: talking about ventriloquism, and uh, he was saying, what about

74
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 1: Charlie McCarthy and Edgar Berg? And I go, yeah, that

75
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 1: was a ventriloquist act on radio. How hard is that

76
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 1: to do? Hello? So, is it any wonder we can

77
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 1: now make SUVs and everybody go, oh, buy one of those.

78
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 1: They're totally different. Yeah, okay, Um. I had this conversation

79
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 1: this morning. I know him off the tangent here at

80
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 1: this conversation this morning. Was at the chiropractor this morning,

81
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 1: getting adjusted having my back and my foot put back together,

82
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 1: no pun intended. And I was listening to the young

83
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 1: moms while I was on the table talk about their cars,

84
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 1: and one of them was talking about her new Subaru

85
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 1: and how she loves her Subaru and what a great

86
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 1: car it is and it has all the little electronics features,

87
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 1: and the other one was talking about her her Chevy

88
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 1: Um Equinox or something, and you know the automatic closing

89
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,280
Speaker 1: hatch on the back and all the electronic bells and

90
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 1: whistles and the automatic sunroof. And I listened to the

91
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 1: whole conversation, and I, you know, I got up off

92
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 1: the table and I went and sat down and put

93
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 1: my shoes on. And they brought me into the conversation.

94
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 1: They know I'm a I'm a car guy, and um,

95
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:39,840
Speaker 1: they asked me, you know what I think? And I said,

96
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:43,719
Speaker 1: you know, when my kids were growing up, I was

97
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:47,279
Speaker 1: fortunate because number one, I didn't have to worry about

98
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 1: buying a new car and having a young child fruit

99
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 1: loop at to death, as we know they sometimes do.

100
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:55,159
Speaker 1: You know, kids seem to be able to find the

101
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 1: weirdest things to grind into the seats of the new

102
00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:59,719
Speaker 1: car and the carpet. Um, my kids were always in

103
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:02,480
Speaker 1: four five year old four door Chevy and Palace. They

104
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 1: were they were big enough in that we would never

105
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 1: be homeless if the house ever burned down. Um, they

106
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:08,840
Speaker 1: were old enough that if they destroyed it, you didn't care.

107
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 1: And if you ever got into an accident, you were

108
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,360
Speaker 1: probably going to be the ones to walk away because

109
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 1: it was enough sheet metal around you. And I said,

110
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,480
Speaker 1: after the Chevy and Palace, then it was old Chevy

111
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 1: station wagons which then later grew into the suburban in

112
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,720
Speaker 1: two thousand four when the youngest Innanian was ten or

113
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 1: eleven years old at the time, and you know, they

114
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:29,600
Speaker 1: thought about it and they said, yeah, you know, that

115
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 1: makes sense, and we wish there were cars like that

116
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 1: around today because it kills us to go out and

117
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 1: lease new cars because everybody leases releasing new cars. And

118
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:40,280
Speaker 1: then you know, our our kids. One woman had five

119
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:43,920
Speaker 1: kids and the woman had three. Um are destroying the cars.

120
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:47,480
Speaker 1: And it makes me go back to this article right

121
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:50,599
Speaker 1: for it's about to have bandon American sedans. Maybe they're

122
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:52,839
Speaker 1: not making the right American sedan's How come they're not

123
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:56,719
Speaker 1: making a station wagon? How come they're choosing to build heavier, bigger,

124
00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 1: less fuel efficient. I mean, from my seat, they've got

125
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 1: to they're bigger trucks and SUVs. Why aren't we building

126
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:06,840
Speaker 1: you know where's a where's a where's a mid size

127
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 1: station wagon fit? In the American market today? We don't

128
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 1: want that. I guess that's what people aren't looking for.

129
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 1: Uh I sat and I talked to the young moms

130
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 1: a little bit this morning, and I reminded them, you know,

131
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 1: all these bells and whistles are great until it breaks,

132
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 1: and if it's least, that's one thing. But leasing, you're

133
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 1: always in the leasing loop. If you're ever going to

134
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:29,720
Speaker 1: own a car, you've got to stop to think about

135
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 1: the fact that sooner or later you're gonna have to

136
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 1: pay for repairs, and sometimes if you can't afford it.

137
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 1: You know what, a plain white refrigerator that gets the

138
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 1: ice cube's cold is all you really need. The Model T,

139
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 1: the thirty two Deuce, Coop, the Thunderbird, the Mustang. For

140
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:45,679
Speaker 1: much of its u fifteen year history, Ford Motor Company

141
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 1: has been synonymous with cars. But now forward, one of

142
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 1: the great engines of the twentieth century American industry is

143
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 1: about to do the unthinkable abandon the American car business

144
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 1: almost entirely. Two years from now. Two years from now, folks,

145
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 1: ten percent of the vehicles rolling off FOURD assembly lines

146
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 1: and into North American showrooms will be sedans and sports

147
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,600
Speaker 1: cars like the Tourists or Mustang. The rest will be pickups,

148
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 1: SUVs and commercial vehicles. More lucrative model that the company

149
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 1: helps with secure its future has changed tears through the

150
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 1: global auto industry. And then it goes on to point

151
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 1: out what would Henry Ford thank radical departure, dada adaya.

152
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 1: Here's what's interesting. Ford's board, the you know, chairman of

153
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 1: the their executive board, ousted its chief executive officer last

154
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 1: year and replaced him with Jim hack At, a cost cutter,

155
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 1: who's prepared to make, Who's prepared to make the sort

156
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 1: of audisious gambles that Wall Street thinks have been missing,

157
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 1: And the long term abandoning car segments may turn out

158
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 1: to have been the wrong move. That Trump administration's planned

159
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 1: for a weaker mileage standards don't last after his presidency,

160
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 1: and Japanese automakers also are likely to welcome less competition

161
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 1: for some of their best sellers, included the Toyota Camera

162
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 1: and the Honda Civic for four. Dumbling down on trucks

163
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 1: and SUVs could be just what the brand needs, says

164
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:59,240
Speaker 1: Jessica Caldwell and analyst for Edmonds. But this move isn't

165
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 1: without risk. Ford is willing to alienate its car owners

166
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 1: and conceding market share. That's the part that makes no

167
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 1: sense to me. All Right, all of a sudden, now

168
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 1: you know you've been going to Ford on a on

169
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 1: a on a you know, a regular basis. You're a

170
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 1: you're a loyal customer, and you're just you keep purchasing

171
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 1: that same sedan every five, six years, seven eight years.

172
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 1: All of a sudden, now you're pushing them into the

173
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 1: competition because you don't meet something in that marketplace. I

174
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 1: think this is a risky move. I don't know if

175
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 1: I would take this move. Um, I don't know that

176
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 1: you need to take this move. Mr Ray has a comment.

177
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 1: What did I tell? What did I say before we

178
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 1: went on the air today? My wife has always driven

179
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 1: a Sedan. Now, okay, maybe she could use a SUV

180
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:40,840
Speaker 1: with the winters we have up here, but the bottom

181
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 1: line is she doesn't want an suv and it's always

182
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 1: been a Ford. I've driven a Ford since high school.

183
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 1: And it's like, what am I gonna do now when

184
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:50,680
Speaker 1: she needs a car, I'm gonna have to go someplace else.

185
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 1: I don't want to well and and and you know

186
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:55,479
Speaker 1: sometimes you just don't want to drive a truck. Tom.

187
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 1: You know, it's um I've I've I've I've talked to

188
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 1: people day in, day out, weekend, week out about what

189
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:03,320
Speaker 1: to buy. And I'll recommend, you know, go look and

190
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 1: for it makes some nice trucks. I'm not I'm not

191
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,440
Speaker 1: knocking that. Go look at an escape, go look at

192
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:11,200
Speaker 1: and explore. And the comment I get is I don't

193
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 1: want something that rides like a truck. You know, I

194
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 1: like a sedan and I you know, to me, it

195
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 1: doesn't make a lot of sense either, because we're we're

196
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 1: alienating the older established population that's buying the cars. And

197
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:27,960
Speaker 1: you know, the young kids coming up today, they're not

198
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 1: interested in buying vehicles. They're not interested in owning vehicles.

199
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 1: A lot of the kids today uber all right, and

200
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 1: they they just they use lift and they you know,

201
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,840
Speaker 1: use all these car sharing services. They're not interested in

202
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 1: buying an suv and keeping it five six, seven years

203
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:45,320
Speaker 1: like the current you know the majority of people out

204
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 1: there now. So I don't know where this is going.

205
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:49,440
Speaker 1: I really don't. You know, like an escape for myself

206
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 1: makes a lot of sense because of the things I

207
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 1: do in the places I go. And my daughter, who's

208
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 1: in VET school, that would make sense for her because

209
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 1: she would need to get in in an emergency. My

210
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 1: wife doesn't, you know, I mean, really, what what what

211
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:04,439
Speaker 1: are people who need to? Saiday, I'm gonna do. And

212
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 1: I even well to the brand, because I always know

213
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:09,679
Speaker 1: what I'm getting, you know, and I don't know if

214
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:11,200
Speaker 1: this is I don't know if this is is if

215
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:14,199
Speaker 1: this is pertinent to the conversation. So the Monte Carlo

216
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:16,840
Speaker 1: showed up a year ago, seventy two, Monty Carlo. Okay,

217
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:19,720
Speaker 1: it's old, it's fifty years old. Danny sat in it.

218
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 1: Now Danny's twenty eight, right, young kid. He sat in

219
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 1: the Monte Carlo and he said, my god, the front

220
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 1: seat is more comfortable in the couch in my living room.

221
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 1: And I said, right, that's the way it used to be.

222
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 1: This is the way Dan's were made, or you know,

223
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 1: this is the way you know, two doors were made.

224
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 1: This is the way cars were made. And we've gotten

225
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 1: away from this, and now we're going to create this.

226
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:40,840
Speaker 1: You know, I don't care how you package it. You know,

227
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 1: a pig is still a pig, all right, It still

228
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:47,720
Speaker 1: smells like pork, all right, And you sit in a suburban,

229
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:50,959
Speaker 1: you sit in an expedition, you're sitting in an explorer.

230
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 1: It's still a truck. You can't get away from that.

231
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 1: It rides like a truck, it looks like a truck.

232
00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:59,839
Speaker 1: It's bacon no matter which way you slice it. And

233
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 1: there are times you're just tired of riding around in

234
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:05,960
Speaker 1: a truck. Period none, end of conversation, Not to mention

235
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 1: the price. The article later goes on to talk about

236
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 1: how Ford is trying to return to profitability two years

237
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 1: earlier than than you know. Their analysts are predicting, and

238
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:18,319
Speaker 1: one of the things that they say is, yet, if

239
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 1: Trump doesn't get re elected in twenty and it doesn't

240
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 1: last beyond his presidency and the next president, the next

241
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:27,319
Speaker 1: guy in the White House boost the fuel economy standards.

242
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 1: You know what, FOURD is gonna be borrowing money from

243
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 1: the federal government like they didn't have to in two

244
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 1: thousand and eight. Because this is the wrong move. Mark

245
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:36,440
Speaker 1: your calendars, folks, I think this is the wrong move.

246
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:39,839
Speaker 1: Five five zero nine zero. We're gonna open the garage doors.

247
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:46,079
Speaker 1: When the car doctor returns, don't go away. He drives

248
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 1: that way. But when it comes to fixing cars, Ron

249
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 1: has card advice done right eight five five five zero

250
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:56,200
Speaker 1: zero zero. Here's Rod I don't know. Come on out,

251
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:57,719
Speaker 1: we'll take out for a riding black. I'll show you

252
00:11:57,760 --> 00:11:59,960
Speaker 1: what driving easy is all about. Let's get over into

253
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,079
Speaker 1: up to Let's go talk to Craig and Tom's River,

254
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 1: New Jersey eighteen Toyota cna. Hey, Craig, how can I

255
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 1: help you? What's going on? Um? My daughter just born

256
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 1: a brand new yes, and they're saying it changed every

257
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:19,560
Speaker 1: twenty thousand miles, and I was wondering what your take

258
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:24,920
Speaker 1: was every ten thousand They're saying, right, here's here's the problem.

259
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 1: Let's let's let let's get away from the you know,

260
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 1: the debate that rages on the internet about better oils,

261
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 1: better filters, and you know, it's all great stuff and

262
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 1: it's all wonderful. All right. How long is it gonna

263
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 1: take your daughter to put ten thousand miles on the car? Uh?

264
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:45,680
Speaker 1: Probably three quarters of a year, okay, so eight months?

265
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:50,440
Speaker 1: All right, let's call it that eight months? Ten months? Yeah,

266
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 1: all right? So in ten months time, how many seasons

267
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:58,839
Speaker 1: is she gonna go through? Two and a half the

268
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 1: change in temperature, Loan is going to turn the TPM

269
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 1: s light on two times unless you know, unless she's

270
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 1: down there. She's the kind of person that's gonna go

271
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:12,080
Speaker 1: and have the tire pressure checked regularly, right, and and

272
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:15,440
Speaker 1: that's and and that's the problem, all right. So now

273
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 1: she's gonna be either trying to put air in the

274
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:20,840
Speaker 1: tires on her own or putting air in the tires

275
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 1: at home. Somebody's gonna buy our compressor, thanks dad, okay,

276
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 1: or or she's gonna be showing up at your house. Hey, dad,

277
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 1: can you check my tire pressure for me? All right?

278
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:32,440
Speaker 1: An oil change is so much more than just changing

279
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 1: the oil, if it's done properly. A good technician is

280
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:38,560
Speaker 1: anticipating the time of year the oil is being changed,

281
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 1: what the tire air requirements are going to be over

282
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 1: the next three to four or five months, depending upon

283
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:45,960
Speaker 1: the interval of oil change. And you know, looking at

284
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:48,560
Speaker 1: underhood fluids, just making sure that not just the oil

285
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 1: is changing the filters replacing that the level is good,

286
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 1: but any other underhood fluids. And you know, maybe not

287
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 1: so much on an eighteen vehicle, but you know, as

288
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 1: that vehicle ages, what's going on under the hood. What

289
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 1: is the front of the radio eater look like? Has

290
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:03,839
Speaker 1: have any rocks flown up and damage the condenser? Is

291
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 1: there any undercarriage damage that she's traveling down the roads?

292
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 1: You know, an oil change was never meant to just

293
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:10,840
Speaker 1: change oil and a filter. An oil change was a

294
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:12,200
Speaker 1: reason to put the car up in the air and

295
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:15,440
Speaker 1: look at the rest of the vehicle. And and you

296
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 1: know this, this extended oil train interval, to me, is

297
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 1: the work of somebody that's just not practical or or

298
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 1: street savvy and their understanding of you know what an

299
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 1: oil change is about. All right, if it were my vehicle,

300
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 1: you know. Now, well, now we'll have the conversation about

301
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 1: synthetic oils and oil filters. Okay, yes, there are oils

302
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 1: out there, and there are filters out there that will

303
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 1: go ten thousand miles, all right. To my knowledge, a

304
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 1: Toyota OE level oil filter is not rated to go

305
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 1: more than eight thousand miles. And I get this from

306
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 1: different filter manufacturers and their engineers that and one of

307
00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:00,120
Speaker 1: them I can think of is I believe may King

308
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:03,200
Speaker 1: the oil filters for Toyota. Because nobody actually, no car

309
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:06,360
Speaker 1: companies actually make anything anymore. They just borrow it and

310
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 1: have it subbed oubt and made for them by another

311
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 1: manufacturing facility. So you know, the first oil change is

312
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:17,560
Speaker 1: tough because the dealer always gives it to you for free. Hey,

313
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 1: come get our free oil change that you just paid

314
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:21,560
Speaker 1: forty dollars for the vehicle for We'll give you a

315
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:24,000
Speaker 1: free oil change. Hey, what a deal? All right? They're

316
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 1: giving her two years, right, so what are they gonna

317
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 1: so so they sold her forty five dollar vehicle and

318
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 1: she's gonna get two worth of free oil changes that

319
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 1: are worth I mean, you know, wow, what a deal.

320
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 1: It's you know, it's it's listen, you get what you

321
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:41,160
Speaker 1: pay for. If she's planning to keep the car eight

322
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 1: to ten years, like it's probably capable of doing, here's

323
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 1: here's the decision point. All right, here's the moment where

324
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 1: she's got at the side. Does she want to go

325
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 1: to the dealer and get the vehicle service? And I'm

326
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 1: not saying dealers are bad, but does she want to

327
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 1: build a relationship with this vehicle at the dealer, or

328
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:02,000
Speaker 1: does she want to build that relationship with a qualified mechanic,

329
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:05,200
Speaker 1: whether it's independent or dealership, somebody she can go to

330
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:08,720
Speaker 1: and be reasonable and realistic about service intervals. If that

331
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 1: was my vehicle, synthetic oil, I'd be changing the oil

332
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 1: every five to six thousand miles. That was my surmise.

333
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 1: You know, if, if, if, if we want to take

334
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 1: things right to the cutting edge. I just you know what,

335
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 1: I've been doing this. I started when I was sixty.

336
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 1: I started when I was sixteen. I'm sixty one, brother,

337
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 1: you do the math. I've been doing this. This isn't

338
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:32,800
Speaker 1: my first day at the rodeo. I've seen a lot,

339
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 1: and my experience has been that car that you know,

340
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:38,680
Speaker 1: it gets the least amount of services, the one that

341
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 1: it has the most problems as it ages. It may

342
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 1: not be a problem child in the fifty to sixty

343
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 1: thousand mile mark, but when that thing gets thousand miles

344
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:50,200
Speaker 1: on it, that's where the stuff usually happens. And by

345
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:51,920
Speaker 1: then it's six seven years old, and you know what

346
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 1: she's thinking, Hey, maybe I'll go out and buy another

347
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 1: forty five thousand, which will now be a sixty thousand

348
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 1: dollar car, and you know, I'll just it's okay, it's

349
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 1: just the new car. It's just another car. What's the

350
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 1: big deal. Um? I think if if my daughter and

351
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:07,840
Speaker 1: my grandchildren are running around in it. I'd be oil

352
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 1: changing every five to six thousand. I'd be thinking about

353
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:13,359
Speaker 1: tire pressure. I'd be thinking about physical inspections. I'd be

354
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:15,639
Speaker 1: thinking about tire What is she gonna do? Rotate the

355
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:20,440
Speaker 1: tires every time she takes the car and for service? Right,

356
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:24,679
Speaker 1: and and here's and here's the other kicker. Does she

357
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:27,160
Speaker 1: have a spare tire? Is that an all wheel drive?

358
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 1: Sienna tis right? Is it run flat tires? Yeah? And

359
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 1: that's the second biggest folly ever ever portrayed upon the

360
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 1: American public. All right, Um, the first was my mother

361
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:43,159
Speaker 1: in the car with Jerry Van Dyke. But you know,

362
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:46,919
Speaker 1: you know, run flat tires are just off the wall.

363
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 1: Uh you know, it's it's they need to be rotated

364
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:52,480
Speaker 1: and maintain more so than the oil. For crying out loud,

365
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 1: So what are they gonna do every five thousand miles?

366
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:56,800
Speaker 1: Take the car and for a tire rotation and change

367
00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:59,120
Speaker 1: the oil every other change. We're getting it backwards here,

368
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:02,320
Speaker 1: uh um, yeah, we're really getting it backwards. You'll never

369
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 1: convince me. Otherwise. You could show me, the president of

370
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 1: black Stone Labs could show me the oil analysis report.

371
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:10,160
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna laugh in his face. All right, change

372
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:12,480
Speaker 1: the oil and filter every five to six. Play at

373
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:15,200
Speaker 1: the safe side. The difference being that you're under the

374
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 1: hood on a more regular basis and you're maintaining a

375
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:21,119
Speaker 1: look at the vehicle's overall condition, which is what an

376
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:23,359
Speaker 1: oil change was really about. I'm run an any in

377
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:25,640

397
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:33,920
Speaker 1: it funny how something so simple people just run away

398
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:39,440
Speaker 1: from screaming? Yeah? Um, you know, I'm hoping that we're

399
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:42,760
Speaker 1: looking for the call from last week because Tom logs

400
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 1: them all, except this is the one that he didn't log.

00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:53,000
Speaker 1: But hopefully he's listening that when the show plays up there.

405
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:55,920
Speaker 1: I think it's tomorrow when we're live in Maine, tomorrow

406
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:59,000
Speaker 1: morning in that market play on Sunday morning. Yeah, yeah,

407
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:03,080
Speaker 1: you m that you'll get it. Um, So let me

408
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:05,120
Speaker 1: ask you. You're doing more carburetors than me. I think

409
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:07,240
Speaker 1: I think your car population is a little bit older.

410
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 1: Are you finding are you finding harder to get parts

411
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:14,240
Speaker 1: than it was five or ten years ago? A few parts.

412
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:19,760
Speaker 1: I've always been um nose to the grindstone, just dogged

413
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:24,200
Speaker 1: chasing something, uh to get the correct part. And uh,

414
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:27,719
Speaker 1: I've got quite a few angles to search stuff in

415
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:29,960
Speaker 1: the in general, and not that big deal. You don't

416
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:33,240
Speaker 1: if you wait tilverree days versus getting it instantly. Yeah,

417
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:35,119
Speaker 1: you know, I was looking the other day. I'm gonna

418
00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 1: We're gonna rebuild the carbon the Monty Carl and put

419
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:39,720
Speaker 1: a four barrel cuget on it. And you know, g is,

420
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:42,640
Speaker 1: how hard could it be to get a reboild kid

421
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:45,679
Speaker 1: for it? You know? Um, now it doesn't exist anymore

422
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 1: where I found one and it's coming. But you know,

423
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 1: it took it was more than it was more than

424
00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 1: one phone call. I'll put it to you that way.

425
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:54,120
Speaker 1: And it's it's kind of depressing. I remember the days

426
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:56,040
Speaker 1: where you know, not only did you just get a

427
00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:58,200
Speaker 1: new carburetor, you know you can get the kid to

428
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:01,920
Speaker 1: float the choke, poll off and everything else you needed

429
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:04,359
Speaker 1: with one one one phone call. And it's just, you know,

430
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:08,400
Speaker 1: the less carbureted vehicle. And uh, we're a few years

431
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:12,680
Speaker 1: removed from that where you know where we're thirty years ago? Yea,

432
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 1: back then I used to do up with the five

433
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:16,320
Speaker 1: Carvers of the day, and I doing maybe twenty five

434
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:19,760
Speaker 1: years right, But I still I still talk stock a

435
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 1: lot of the parts of the cobrated kids anyway, because

436
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:26,040
Speaker 1: I found it over the years buying kits complete and

437
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:27,960
Speaker 1: there was infecting party and you're gonna wait two days

438
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:30,040
Speaker 1: again another kit? What's the oldest I couldn't do that.

439
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 1: What's the oldest carburetor he ever built? John? The oldest

440
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:39,840
Speaker 1: vehicle model? Because I'm into the anti cars anyway, Okay, okay.

441
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:42,719
Speaker 1: I also did one for the firetruck in the Banga

442
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 1: Fire Department Museum th nine, I think anathing like that,

443
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:48,840
Speaker 1: and they sent it out to different places and they

444
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 1: said he couldn't rebuild it when two hours and had

445
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:53,920
Speaker 1: parts coming for it. You're the guy, then, I don't

446
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:56,479
Speaker 1: know why everybody in banger Man can't find the carburettor. Guy.

447
00:21:56,560 --> 00:22:00,240
Speaker 1: You sound like the guy to me. Uh. The those

448
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:02,560
Speaker 1: quarter jets. Uh. One of the problems they had with

449
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:05,680
Speaker 1: them is the cover and the bowl horps and you

450
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:08,720
Speaker 1: don't straighten that, flatten that out. Uh, you'll have trouble

451
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:14,240
Speaker 1: with the ceiling probably and you get spill over. I

452
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:16,199
Speaker 1: ran into that number years ago, some customer brought one

453
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:18,200
Speaker 1: in and I couldn't believe how much they've worked it.

454
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:19,680
Speaker 1: Between the two and goal hold in the front, you

455
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:22,199
Speaker 1: could stick a quarter inch drill bit under it, you know.

456
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:26,920
Speaker 1: I think I think what people misperceived is they think

457
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:30,639
Speaker 1: they don't realize that there is a difference between and

458
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say it like this, rebuilding the carburetor and

459
00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:37,920
Speaker 1: re manufacturing the carburetor. You know, rebuilding the carburetor to

460
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 1: me is sticking a kitten, you know, gaskets and seals.

461
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:42,879
Speaker 1: But re manufacturing the carburetor is looking at everything with

462
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:46,440
Speaker 1: a square edge, blown through all the holes, cleaning everything out,

463
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:49,399
Speaker 1: changing all the gaskets and seals, and you know, bushing

464
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:51,399
Speaker 1: the shaft if it needs to be bushed, you know,

465
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:54,240
Speaker 1: going through That's that's really rebuilding the carburetor. We'll use

466
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 1: the term re manufacturer. That's you know, if you've got

467
00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 1: a dip tank, dipping it back to the original color

468
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 1: just for effect. Um, you know, it's it's it's a

469
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:07,760
Speaker 1: lost art today, it really is. Yeah, those Support Association

470
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:11,120
Speaker 1: UH says, they're almost the same words that just those

471
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 1: different companies that tell you on those words it confuses

472
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:20,080
Speaker 1: people about it. Go ahead, good ahead. The biggest thing

473
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 1: about a cobrad kit, it's only do new extentual parts

474
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:26,359
Speaker 1: to put it back together. With building it are repairing it,

475
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:27,840
Speaker 1: do you have to clean all the dirt out of

476
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 1: it and off of it? The problem if someone doesn't

477
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:32,360
Speaker 1: clean the dirt off the outside of it when they're

478
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:34,720
Speaker 1: working with it, from the dirty back into Yeah, it's

479
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:36,679
Speaker 1: it's it's the dirt inside. And then sometimes we go

480
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:38,920
Speaker 1: to the gas station. We put the dirt into three

481
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:41,879
Speaker 1: dollars a gallon, which is a whole another story I was.

482
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:45,200
Speaker 1: I was at a training seminar this past week UM

483
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:47,280
Speaker 1: put on by the folks down here by Wise Auto

484
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 1: Parts is probably one of the biggest parts houses in

485
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:53,480
Speaker 1: the state UH five locations throughout northern and central Jersey.

486
00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:55,920
Speaker 1: And Ryan. I was talking to Ryan, one of the owners,

487
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:57,399
Speaker 1: and he was telling me the story. I said, so,

488
00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:00,639
Speaker 1: you know what has gotten a carbridge because abrators around

489
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:02,200
Speaker 1: my mind. Now, we had the call last week, and

490
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:04,280
Speaker 1: we had a couple the week before, and I knew

491
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 1: you were gonna be here today, and I was thinking

492
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 1: about carburetors and I said, so, what is the deal

493
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:09,960
Speaker 1: with carpenters. I said, can you get any new ones?

494
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:12,280
Speaker 1: And he said, now, he says, we haven't had carburetors

495
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:14,360
Speaker 1: in the in the warehouse for probably the better part

496
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:16,399
Speaker 1: of eight or ten years. And he said, you know,

497
00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:18,760
Speaker 1: eight ten years ago, he said, we had two pallets.

498
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 1: This will make you cry, John, we had two pallets

499
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:24,560
Speaker 1: of brand new carbs in the boxes were rebuilt carbs

500
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 1: in the boxes. I couldn't give him away. And we

501
00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:28,679
Speaker 1: had to make a choice. We had we needed the

502
00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:31,520
Speaker 1: warehouse space, he goes. I called the buddy of mine

503
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:33,280
Speaker 1: who was into Fords. I sold them all the Ford

504
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:35,480
Speaker 1: carbs for a couple of hundred dollars and we just

505
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:39,200
Speaker 1: scrapped all the rest. And I just went, oh boy, um,

506
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:41,280
Speaker 1: you know and and and the sad part is all

507
00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 1: those cast things, they're not making them anymore, and they've

508
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:46,240
Speaker 1: got to be getting harder to find. I would think

509
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:57,280
Speaker 1: a result, Yeah, uh yeah, I think John's breaking up.

510
00:24:57,400 --> 00:24:59,320
Speaker 1: Hey John, we're gonna say goodbye. I think your phone's

511
00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:01,960
Speaker 1: breaking up. Brother, But do this shoot me an email

Speaker 1: got it. Tom, do you have John's contact info? Tom's

516
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:14,520
Speaker 1: got it? Um, I'm gonna try and find that caller

517

523
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:29,920
Speaker 1: I don't mind giving somebody a couple of minutes of

524
00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:32,320
Speaker 1: airtime because we're solving people's problems and that's what this

525
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:35,480
Speaker 1: radio show is really all about. Eight five five five

526
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:37,960
Speaker 1: six zero nine zero zero. Run any of the car doctor.

527
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 1: We're back right after this. Don't go away in need

528
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:54,080
Speaker 1: advice on how they're maintaining that classic g t O.

529
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:57,840
Speaker 1: Ron is the guy eight five five five zero nine

530
00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:02,960
Speaker 1: zero zero. Here's Ron Gto. Oh is it my turn?

531
00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:05,320
Speaker 1: I like GTO? You know what g t O stands for?

532
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:08,280
Speaker 1: Grand Tarismo? Let me if I can get this right,

533
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:12,439
Speaker 1: Grand Tarismo. I'm langata um It's it's a reference I

534
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:17,000
Speaker 1: believe to an Italian racing car. Um that was my understanding.

535
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:18,720
Speaker 1: So if I'm wrong. Somebody shoot me a no. But yeah,

536
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:22,040
Speaker 1: that's what g t O means and all all along.

537
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:24,200
Speaker 1: I always thought in high school at man garbage truck option,

538
00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:26,879
Speaker 1: but that was a whole another story. So um, you know,

539
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:28,800
Speaker 1: as the owner of the Chevy, I could say that.

540
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:31,280
Speaker 1: So sorry, guys. UM, let's go and talk to Bob

541
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:33,440
Speaker 1: and Iowa O g m C one time. Boy. We're

542
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:35,680
Speaker 1: gonna get a lot of hate mail this week. So um,

543
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:37,879
Speaker 1: but I like g t O s Actually, um, you know,

544
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:40,080
Speaker 1: I've got some great g t O stories, but we'll

545
00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:43,320
Speaker 1: keep those reserved for those quiet fireside chats. Bob and Iowa.

546
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:45,320
Speaker 1: It's your turn, sir, you can start talking. I'm ronan

547
00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:48,840
Speaker 1: any in the car doctor. How can I help today? Run? Good? Sir?

548
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:53,440
Speaker 1: What's going on? I got a g m C one time,

549
00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:58,199
Speaker 1: unduly okay? And it's four wheel drive right, and the

550
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:04,160
Speaker 1: transfer case like in the button are completely dead and

551
00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:07,760
Speaker 1: it doesn't do anything and you try to switch it

552
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:12,480
Speaker 1: so there's no four wheel drive operation. Correct, it's it's

553
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:17,439
Speaker 1: in two wheel drive. I checked. I checked into it

554
00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:22,120
Speaker 1: had twelve votes that should been six. Got the ground

555
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:26,879
Speaker 1: and pin A twelve or P eleven has five reference

556
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:32,120
Speaker 1: at the at the O B D two connector at

557
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:36,000
Speaker 1: the switch connector. Okay, go go back over that again.

558
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:37,840
Speaker 1: I was, I was, My mind was in a different place.

559
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:42,760
Speaker 1: So where where were you mom? At the the plug

560
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:46,440
Speaker 1: in on the back of the control switch, and which

561
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:51,160
Speaker 1: which pen had what? Now? Two had twelve votes? Right?

562
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:56,280
Speaker 1: Six has a ground and eleven has a five vote? Well,

563
00:27:57,040 --> 00:28:02,639
Speaker 1: four votes signals okay, Um, my next step, well, my

564
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:06,359
Speaker 1: first step would really be can we grab a scan

565
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 1: tool and can we communicate with this puppy in it? Okay?

566
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:22,040
Speaker 1: And what are what are some of the codes? Let me,

567
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:23,560
Speaker 1: let me, let me tell you, I bet you some

568
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:25,920
Speaker 1: of the codes. Are you you double O seventy three

569
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:28,479
Speaker 1: you double O or U O one D one oh

570
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:32,200
Speaker 1: one one O two one on nine? Ringing the bells? Yeah, alright,

571
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:37,320
Speaker 1: yeah yeah, it's all pressure is high for some reason.

572
00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:41,120
Speaker 1: I don't know why it right, Okay, so let me

573
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:44,719
Speaker 1: you got you got a pencil, get your hands on

574
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:47,080
Speaker 1: this bulletin and read it. It's a twenty one page bulletin.

575
00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:49,479
Speaker 1: It's gonna take a little bit to do um in

576
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:52,360
Speaker 1: terms of reading. It's uh yeah, it's like, well, no,

577
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:54,760
Speaker 1: the factory manual is probably ten thousand pages. So this

578
00:28:54,840 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 1: is just a short of bridge version of it. Yeah,

579
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:03,120
Speaker 1: I can imagine. But take a look at bulletin. Take

580
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:07,000
Speaker 1: a look at bulletin oh eight O seven thirty dash

581
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 1: oh twenty one, and I believe they're up to a

582
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:11,200
Speaker 1: version age. They might be up to a G. Might

583
00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:13,440
Speaker 1: be up to a G by now. And this talks

584
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:19,720
Speaker 1: about loss of communications on the bus the can bus. Uh,

585
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:25,600
Speaker 1: sometimes no crank operations, sometimes dask cluster problems, sometimes lock cycling,

586
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:30,560
Speaker 1: trans not shifting multiple codes. Sort of what you're describing,

587
00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:34,840
Speaker 1: and what they're talking about is failure to communicate with

588
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:39,640
Speaker 1: various modules on the circuit. All right, I'm not saying

589
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:42,920
Speaker 1: that's your problem, but that's where I would start the

590
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:45,960
Speaker 1: the The first step I would take here is, you know,

591
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:47,800
Speaker 1: I would try to sort these codes out in some

592
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:51,640
Speaker 1: order of priority and likely clear them and see what

593
00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:55,520
Speaker 1: comes back. All right. I would also make sure I

594
00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:57,680
Speaker 1: would also make sure that I write everything down so

595
00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:03,880
Speaker 1: I'm not just throwing away information. Okay, all right? Now

596
00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:08,000
Speaker 1: on on pin three at that at that switch, correct,

597
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:14,400
Speaker 1: do you have ground pin three? If memory serves me right,

598
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:16,680
Speaker 1: Pin three is ground at one oh two under the

599
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:20,880
Speaker 1: hood this is a gas truck or a diesel truck, deesel, okay,

600
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:22,760
Speaker 1: And it's ground one oh three. Ground one oh three

601
00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:24,840
Speaker 1: I believe goes to one of the cylinder heads in

602
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:30,360
Speaker 1: the engine compartment. Alright, make sure that switch is grounded.

603
00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:32,720
Speaker 1: Do you have a wiring diagram for that switch. I'm

604
00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:34,480
Speaker 1: sure you do, right, Bob, you've got that, You've got

605
00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 1: the yeah. Yeah. Take a take a look at that switch.

606
00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:42,120
Speaker 1: I mean, listen, you're approaching it right, You're pinning out

607
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:44,880
Speaker 1: the switch, trying to figure out what you don't have

608
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:48,120
Speaker 1: looking at. There's two hots. There's a constant hot and

609
00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:50,920
Speaker 1: there's an ignition hot. If both of those are working,

610
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:54,560
Speaker 1: all right, um, and I believe those are coming in

611
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:57,360
Speaker 1: on G and C. I'll know it is G and C.

612
00:30:57,520 --> 00:30:58,960
Speaker 1: I don't know what is one and two. And I'm sorry,

613
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:01,200
Speaker 1: it's not X three. That's the nectar. It's d A

614
00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:03,280
Speaker 1: is the pin You should have a ground there. It

615
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:05,840
Speaker 1: should be the black wire. But I would pin out

616
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:09,280
Speaker 1: the switch, I'd clear the codes, see what comes back.

617
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:12,600
Speaker 1: I would also try and communicate with the Transfer Case

618
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:17,400
Speaker 1: Control Module, the tcc M. All right, can you talk

619
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:19,120
Speaker 1: to that with your scan tool or are you gonna

620
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:21,200
Speaker 1: tell me you've got a smaller O B D two

621
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:26,640
Speaker 1: generic tool. I got an actor well that talk to

622
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:31,920
Speaker 1: all the modules. I can get to the I can

623
00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:35,200
Speaker 1: get the codes for like the body modules and stuff. Okay,

624
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:38,800
Speaker 1: I don't think it will go into the transfer case module.

625
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:42,000
Speaker 1: All right, I mean we can try and work around it.

626
00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:44,640
Speaker 1: The problem is gonna be it's you're sort of you're

627
00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:46,440
Speaker 1: you're sort of trying to tell one of your kids, hey,

628
00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:47,760
Speaker 1: it's time to get to bed, and you don't have

629
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:50,200
Speaker 1: a direct phone line, so you're gonna have to bounce

630
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:52,320
Speaker 1: around from somebody else to try and get the message through.

631
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:55,280
Speaker 1: If you understand what I'm saying, So it may be

632
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:56,840
Speaker 1: time to maybe get a little bit of a better

633
00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:59,000
Speaker 1: scan tool, something that can talk to all the modules.

634
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:01,680
Speaker 1: There's probably better and thirty five modules on that vehicle,

635
00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:04,000
Speaker 1: and you can probably only talk to I'm gonna say

636
00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:08,640
Speaker 1: ten of them. Kind of a problem. Yeah, that's all right.

637
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:12,440
Speaker 1: Every time I turn around, look at it, look at

638
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:14,040
Speaker 1: look at it like this, and then I'm gonna go,

639
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:16,680
Speaker 1: it's an excuse to go buy another tool. So just

640
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:18,320
Speaker 1: explain it to the wife that way and see what

641
00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:19,760
Speaker 1: she says. But at least then you'll be able to

642
00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:23,040
Speaker 1: fix the truck. Do that clear the codes? What comes back?

643
00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:25,960
Speaker 1: Pin out that switch, Give me some readouts. Look at

644
00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:28,760
Speaker 1: ground one oh three. Get your hands on that bulletin.

645
00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:31,760
Speaker 1: Call me next week and we continue this conversation and

646
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:33,240
Speaker 1: we'll help you get to the bottom of it. I

647
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:37,280
Speaker 1: appreciate the call, Bob. Good luck to you. Zero, I'll

648
00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:44,280
Speaker 1: be back right after this. Welcome back. Running into the

649
00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:45,960
Speaker 1: car doctor. Rolling along by the way, I should point

650
00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:47,800
Speaker 1: out we had John on the phone talking about carburetors.

651
00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:51,360
Speaker 1: Interestingly enough, he sent us a of his repairs are

652
00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:54,400
Speaker 1: bad fuel related and he uses a pizza oven to

653
00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:57,520
Speaker 1: heat up and straighten out the carburetor castings. And you know,

654
00:32:57,680 --> 00:32:59,400
Speaker 1: just just need ideas, right. You know that's back in

655
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:02,440
Speaker 1: the day when you're actually rebuild things you carburettors were ye.

656
00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:05,280
Speaker 1: I enjoyed it. It was like, uh, it was like therapy.

657
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:07,280
Speaker 1: Let's get over and talk to Pete and Tewoksbury. Is

658
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:10,480
Speaker 1: that Twoksbury mass with an O six PT Cruiser in

659
00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:13,200
Speaker 1: a shimmy, Pete, welcome to the car doctor. Run yes,

660
00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:15,480
Speaker 1: or how can I help? Yeah, two thousand and six

661
00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:18,880
Speaker 1: PT cruise has got two or five sixty tires on

662
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:21,680
Speaker 1: it an you think above thirty miles out when you accelerate,

663
00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:24,120
Speaker 1: you feel like like you've got a wheel weight off. Well,

664
00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:26,840
Speaker 1: you've got out of balance to tire. Is it only

665
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:29,600
Speaker 1: you back off the acceleration that smooths right out? It's

666
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:33,880
Speaker 1: got a bad drive axel. Okay, all right, well it's

667
00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:35,880
Speaker 1: it's likely. Let me, let me, let me back up.

668
00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:38,160
Speaker 1: And and I'm saying that quick because we're gonna run

669
00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:40,800
Speaker 1: out of time. If you're driving along it's sixty miles

670
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:43,040
Speaker 1: an hour and not accelerating, and you're just cruising along

671
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:46,160
Speaker 1: at sixty is it's smooth if you start to accelerate,

672
00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:49,240
Speaker 1: doesn't start to shimmy and shake. Okay? One of the

673
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:51,600
Speaker 1: drive axles have a mechanic. Take a look at the

674
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:55,120
Speaker 1: the the drive axles um Usually it's the left side,

675
00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:57,640
Speaker 1: and that's an educated guess, but one of the drive

676
00:33:57,680 --> 00:34:01,080
Speaker 1: axles is likely notched. There. There's an inner and an

677
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:04,000
Speaker 1: outer joint. The inner joint is sometimes referred to as

678
00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:08,360
Speaker 1: the plunge joint. The plunge joint is three drive balls

679
00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:14,120
Speaker 1: or three drive bearings against a similarly shaped housing. Looks

680
00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:16,360
Speaker 1: like a toolip exactly right, the tool of housing. What

681
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:19,920
Speaker 1: happens is it wears out over time, and when you

682
00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:24,839
Speaker 1: know it's they're just broken in um. You know when

683
00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:28,120
Speaker 1: they when they start to wear out and you accelerate

684
00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:31,080
Speaker 1: like that, you're actually pulling the plunge in and out

685
00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:32,920
Speaker 1: of the casting. And that's what makes the shimmy and

686
00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:35,640
Speaker 1: the shake. If you've been through the tire balance routine,

687
00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:38,560
Speaker 1: if you've moved the tires around, if the motor mounts

688
00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:42,480
Speaker 1: are good, if you've exhausted all other possibilities, tell me

689
00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:44,520
Speaker 1: what's good with the car, and it's time to think

690
00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:47,680
Speaker 1: about what's left. And two of those things that are left,

691
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:49,799
Speaker 1: or the drive axles, and I would take a very hard,

692
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:51,960
Speaker 1: careful look at them. You might have to disassemble them.

693
00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:53,839
Speaker 1: You might want to just change them based on their

694
00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:55,600
Speaker 1: age and miles. But I would take a look at those.

695
00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:58,160
Speaker 1: I'm on an Indian. The car doctor mechanics aren't expensive

696
00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:05,759
Speaker 1: to place. Let's see you everyone alone and she goes

697
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:06,960
Speaker 1: to s
