Speaker 1: Green You're gonna do you have a computer, George? No, Um,

83
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:24,280
Speaker 1: you gotta get all to somebody with a computer, because

84
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 1: the best way to access their inventory is online. Unfortunately

85
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:31,719
Speaker 1: everything's online these days. But you're looking for green Ford

86
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 1: Parts Sales or Green Sales one or the other. I'll

87
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:38,480
Speaker 1: have Tom, Tom do me a favorite Google that we'll

88
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,320

00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 1: you find it already Green Sales Company? And that's g

90
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 1: R e e N like the color g R e

91
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,039
Speaker 1: e N like the color. Where they located in the

92
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:53,279
Speaker 1: in Illinois, Indiana? I know they're in the Midwest, somewhere here,

93
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 1: it comes. And the answer is and we get a

94
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 1: drum roll, nothing, Tom broke the internet. It wouldn't break

95
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,040
Speaker 1: the internet. I haven't found it on their website yet

96
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 1: at well there is. And that's the point. You gotta

97
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 1: get somebody with a what's the what's the web address? Tom,

98
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 1: Green sales dot com. I think that's what it is,

99
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 1: Green Sales Company dot com, Green Sales Company dot com.

100
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:18,599
Speaker 1: So you gotta get somebody with the computer, George, because

101
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,039
Speaker 1: you can probably look it up visa v that. Now,

102
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,720
Speaker 1: if by some occurrence they don't have it, what you

103
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:27,040
Speaker 1: can do. You know, you're looking for a proportioning valve

104
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 1: for the break. There's there's enough aftermarket break companies out

105
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,040
Speaker 1: there building hot rods, and you know, trucks are all

106
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 1: the rage now they've been for a while, modifications and

107
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 1: break kits and such. I would think you could go

108
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:44,159
Speaker 1: and search again, back to the computer thing, um, you know,

109
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 1: finding an aftermarket company that would have a proportioning valve

110
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 1: that would fit in place of what you have. You

111
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:51,479
Speaker 1: might have to put some fittings on it and change

112
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:54,160
Speaker 1: some of the ends, but it will work. So it's

113
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:57,159
Speaker 1: it's not a complete uphill battle. Uh yet, Tom, what

114
00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:00,279
Speaker 1: do you got Tom's down from? Yeah, Green Sales Company

115
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:05,039
Speaker 1: in Cincinnati, Ohio. All right, I'm sure if they still

116
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 1: take phone calls, you could probably look at a phone

117
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 1: number and question them that way, all right, But that's

118
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:14,359
Speaker 1: that's actually the company that most of the dealers go to.

119
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 1: And you know it's it's there the first stop that

120
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:20,600
Speaker 1: most of the four dealers I've heard of. In a

121
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,159
Speaker 1: matter of fact, my guys use on a regular basis.

122
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 1: I know exactly where they're going, and you know that's okay.

123
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 1: So I've learned to cost a few and some of

124
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 1: the books that I have National Parks depot Um. But

125
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:35,160
Speaker 1: it doesn't even look like it's you have to turn

126
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 1: it manually to adjust it. Right, it's a manual adjustion

127
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:40,599
Speaker 1: and that's you know, that's more for the hot rod

128
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 1: performance stuff. Here, here's the phone number. You got a pencil,

Speaker 1: You're very welcome, George. Good luck to you and your hunt.

Speaker 1: and talk to Morton in Maine. Ninety nice Chevy Silverado. Yes, Morton,

137
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 1: how can I help you? Sir? Yes, sir, all right, Yes,

138
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 1: I've got a seven nine Silverado was the second generation,

139
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 1: so it's the one with the four at that five

140
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 1: speed manual four will drive and the rest I don't

141
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:38,239
Speaker 1: think matters to the question. What happened is I'm driving

142
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 1: down the road a couple of days ago and I

143
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 1: hear it sounds like somebody had snapped the pencil when

144
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 1: I was in the cab, And immediately after that, I

145
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 1: get a cyclic noise coming out of what sounds like

146
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 1: the front left area of the truck, and I can

147
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 1: feel a vibration on the floor whenever this cycling always happened,

148
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 1: but now it sounds more like. My first impression was

149
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 1: the heat shield the gun loose, or possibly the inner

150
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 1: shield by the disc brake. Yeah, by the disc brake

151
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 1: had come loose and it moved or something. I got it.

152
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 1: I got it home, and I took it up and

153
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 1: put it up on the four lifts in the back,

154
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 1: and I got the tires off the ground where I

155
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 1: can spin the tires with the motor, and didn't hear

156
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 1: a sound. Crawled underneath, shaking everything, all the universals front,

157
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:34,319
Speaker 1: the back. Nothing, couldn't find a thing. So after that,

158
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:36,959
Speaker 1: I said, okay, I need some numbers. Now I'm an engineer,

159
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 1: so I needed some numbers. So I took it out

160
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:42,839
Speaker 1: on the road of thirty miles an hour uh and

161
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,839
Speaker 1: over thirty seconds I got sixty four cycles of noise

162
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:49,080
Speaker 1: and calculating back that that that back down I need

163
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 1: to travel, the truck traveled twenty point six ft every

164
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 1: time I'd get a noise, which didn't account for a

165
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 1: wonder one notation to the tire because the tire Bruner.

166
00:08:59,880 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 1: The tires only seven and a half seven and a

167
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 1: half feet every time it goes around once, so it's

168
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 1: not like the one the one ratio, and I was

169
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 1: in fourth gear. So I'm going, well, if it was

170
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:13,559
Speaker 1: faster than that, I could I could you do with

171
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:19,080
Speaker 1: possibly your training problem. But when it's uh, the cycles

172
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:22,679
Speaker 1: are less are less than the frequency of one rotation

173
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 1: of a tire, I'm going, what could that be? Well,

174
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:29,079
Speaker 1: let's let's let's let's back up a second here more.

175
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 1: But uh, did you drive it when it was on

176
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 1: the jack stins? Did you try running the vehicle and

177
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:44,439
Speaker 1: you don't hear anything? Honestly? Okay, so I tried? Did

178
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:48,440
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, did you try moving the tires? Yeah?

179
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:51,320
Speaker 1: I didn't like tip the pro shaking the tire up

180
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 1: and down, back and forth, spinning him hand. Well no, no, no,

181
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,560
Speaker 1: I'm saying, did you try rotating the tires? You take

182
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 1: the left front and move to the right rear. Okay, No,

183
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 1: I haven't done that. I don't think it's the tire,

184
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 1: but just on the chance that it is, all right,

185
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:08,680
Speaker 1: is there any kind of vibration in the vehicle? Yeah?

186
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 1: I get I get a vibration only on the floorboard

187
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:14,559
Speaker 1: right underneath my left foot. Is it is it? Is

188
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 1: it harsher under acceleration under load? No? Does it? Does

189
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 1: it change from four wheel drive to two wheel drive

190
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 1: or is it? It's just it's just that's that's the

191
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:28,440
Speaker 1: bug me. Yeah, it's the same, same noise. Did you

192
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 1: take a real hard look now, nine, I'm trying to

193
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:34,960
Speaker 1: remember that should be a constant velocity front axle? Correct

194
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:39,320
Speaker 1: or is this a straight front axle? No, it's it's uh, well,

195
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 1: it has a differential in the front. Right, has a differential.

196
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:45,080
Speaker 1: But does it have a differential with with flanged trying

197
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 1: remember what ninety nine looks like. Ninety nine should be

198
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 1: a center carrier with flanged axles. Right, looked like big

199
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:56,959
Speaker 1: front wheel drive drive axles. Yeah, rights has what I

200
00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:00,200
Speaker 1: call the prop shafts yet right, the boots are the

201
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 1: boots are intact. All the boots look okay? Yeah, yeah,

202
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:07,840
Speaker 1: boots boots are good. Yeah. Looked at it six months

203
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 1: ago and he passed me on inspection. So right, So,

204
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 1: so does it change if you put it in four

205
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 1: wheel drive? No? So it's it's still there. Yeah, and

206
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 1: it's upper and lower for a real high lower for

207
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 1: and even a neutral, well not in neutral. I don't

208
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:29,680
Speaker 1: get anything. Okay. The one thought I've got is, let's

209
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,960
Speaker 1: let's start thinking about what it's not. Let's prove what

210
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 1: it's not. Let's let's get to the Let's get to

211
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 1: the phil plug on the differential. Pull it out, stick

212
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 1: a magnet in there. You've got a bendable magnet yea.

213
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 1: Or or if it's been a while since you service

214
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 1: the diff, if you want to kill two birds with

215
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 1: one stone, service the front diff filter the fluid. Does

216
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 1: it show any signs of or contaminant? Right? I did

217
00:11:55,920 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 1: a full complete all five cavities of oil less summer. Okay,

218
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 1: well you know you know to do it again, won't hurt?

219
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:08,560
Speaker 1: I mean, if you want to do it with a

220
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 1: magnitude with a magnet. But let's start. Let's start looking

221
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:15,200
Speaker 1: at what it can't be. All right? I um, I

222
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 1: fixed I fixed the volvo this week that the that

223
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 1: the person had somebody else put axles in it. We

224
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:21,679
Speaker 1: went round and round and round, and finally I said,

225
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 1: let's prove what it's not. They put two Chinese axles

226
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:27,839
Speaker 1: in the car. Chinese, the Chinese and the Swedes don't

227
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 1: seem to get along, although I think China now does

228
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 1: own Volvo, so that might be a whole another story.

229
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,840
Speaker 1: But they put aftermarket Chinese axles in this Volvo. There

230
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 1: was a turbo car. When you went from thirty to

231
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 1: fifty miles an hour and you put your foot in

232
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:40,720
Speaker 1: it to go for passing gear, the whole the whole

233
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:43,319
Speaker 1: car shuttered and shook. I said, let's put an axle

234
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:44,960
Speaker 1: in it. Let's just go with your gut, you know.

235
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 1: Let's because I looked at everything else and I couldn't

236
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 1: find anything else wrong with it. Sure enough, the aftermarket

237
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:54,559
Speaker 1: axle was three quarters almost an echin in diameter. The

238
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 1: the Volvo axle was two and a half inches in diameter.

239
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 1: Axle shifts strength, so it was just it was just

240
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 1: twisting and wind ending it up. Prove to me what

241
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 1: it is. Let me show me what's good. Yeah, let

242
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 1: me let me remember one other event that was starting

243
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 1: to occur at the same time. All right, I'll tell

244
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 1: you what. Let me pull over and take this pause.

245
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:15,320
Speaker 1: Let me pull over and take this pause. Well, we'll

246
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 1: finish up with you when we come back. I'm right

247
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:18,320
Speaker 1: on any of the car. Doctor, We're back right after

248
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 1: this when you get keep Ron's number hand eight five

249
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:38,440
Speaker 1: five five zero nine nine zero zero for when you

250
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 1: really need advice on your car. Here's robing. Hey, let's

251
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 1: get back to Morton, Maine. Mort you're still there, sir.

252
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:47,079
Speaker 1: You were gonna tell me, You're gonna tell me. In

253
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:50,840
Speaker 1: addendum to the story about the ninety nine Silverono, Yeah,

254
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 1: I had another event, which is uh because where I lived,

255
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:58,720
Speaker 1: I passed across the pair of road tracks when I

256
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 1: was making my test, and that left front sounded like

257
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:07,600
Speaker 1: she bottomed out, like the shock wasn't even there. And

258
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 1: that was the strangest thing. And then I started looking

259
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:12,840
Speaker 1: for potholes, which you're easy to find up here, and

260
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 1: I started heading towards the few of them, just to

261
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 1: see through and it did repeat. Well, that's new too,

262
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 1: But you're also but you're also saying you have a

263
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 1: rotational noise. Yeah, right, so you know and thinking about it.

264
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 1: My my question is when you check the front end

265
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 1: for looseness, were you wiggling the friend with the tire

266
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 1: on or off the vehicle? Uh? Tire on, tire on,

267
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 1: And there's no play whatsoever in that wheel bearing left

268
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 1: front No will will be bearing pretty much. Now will

269
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 1: the axles from the left and the right, will they

270
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 1: swapped side the side? Uh? Doubted. I think the differential

271
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 1: was offset, So this is so they're two different and

272
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 1: that you join itself looks good? Yeah, yeah, I do

273
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 1: mind with a kind of like a narrow crowbar and

274
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 1: get it in there and start shaking it back and

275
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 1: forth and get that should be more than enough. Um,

276
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 1: I've got to think that you know, either we're dealing

277
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 1: with something in the differential, yeah, or yeah. And you

278
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 1: don't hear did you when you when you drove this

279
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 1: up in the ear? Did somebody sit in the vehicle

280
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 1: and run it? Yeah? I did? Okay, Well, well my

281
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 1: wife through. Well yeah, but I mean if if you

282
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 1: were up in the vehicle driving it, then who was

283
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:42,480
Speaker 1: listening underneath? Well, yeah, that's true. I just had to

284
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 1: win thows crank down and well it was it was

285
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 1: so quiet I couldn't all the powers were spending. Okay,

286
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 1: so let's let's let's talk about it. Well, let's talk

287
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:53,480
Speaker 1: about it like this. If this were at the shop,

288
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 1: I'd have it up in the air on the lift.

289
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 1: I'd have somebody driving it up in the air, and

290
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 1: I'd be listening underneath to the wheelbarings with a stethoscope.

291
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 1: You know, it's it's it's it's It's not what the

292
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 1: year is gonna hear, it's what the stethoscope is gonna hear. So,

293
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 1: you know, let's not let's not jump out of sequence here.

294
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 1: It's got to get up in the air. Somebody's got

295
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 1: to drive it, and they've also got to listen. I've

296
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:16,440
Speaker 1: I've learned over the years to listen to wheel bearings

297
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 1: while they're accelerating. So it's not yeah, just getting up

298
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 1: to thirty and let me listen. It's go to thirty,

299
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 1: and while it's accelerating from zero to thirty, I'll listen.

300
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 1: How does that bearing sound as it's initially placed under load?

301
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 1: Usually it's while it's cruising, but once in a while

302
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 1: you actually do get a bad wheel bearing that makes

303
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 1: more noise on the on the movement part when it's

304
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:41,280
Speaker 1: first trying to overcome, you know, sitting still versus versus

305
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 1: going down the road and running at speed. So you know,

306
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:49,600
Speaker 1: so let's let's let's diagnose it like mechanics. Let's check fluid.

307
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 1: Do we have any metal, Do we have any contamination

308
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 1: in the diff If we listen to the to both

309
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:58,600
Speaker 1: front wheel bearings, do they both sound the same? Okay,

310
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 1: you've confer that there's nothing lose dost shield, there's nothing

311
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 1: in the way, there's no foreign matter restricting against the shield,

312
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 1: against the rotor, et cetera. And then if we take

313
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:11,400
Speaker 1: that left front and move it to the right rear,

314
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:15,240
Speaker 1: does the noise follow the tire and let's see what

315
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 1: that does, and then coming back we can talk about

316
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 1: it some more. Yeah, the only thing that got me

317
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:22,800
Speaker 1: cranked up the line needed some advanced help is that

318
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 1: the frequency didn't match entire rotation. Well and I and

319
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:32,119
Speaker 1: I get that, but let's not listen, let's not put it.

320
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 1: Let's not put it in a scilloscope on the vehicle

321
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:37,679
Speaker 1: until we absolutely need to. You know what I'm saying,

322
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:41,840
Speaker 1: Let's not let's not overcomplicate it because you know, like

323
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 1: Einstein said, keep it simple until you don't have to. Um,

324
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 1: you know, we can always we can always make it

325
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:50,160
Speaker 1: complicated later on, if you know what I'm saying. So

326
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:52,959
Speaker 1: let's let's go through basics first. I'm curious what this

327
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:55,359
Speaker 1: does more. Would you call me back and keep me

328
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:57,159
Speaker 1: in the loop and we'll talk again next week. Of

329
00:17:57,240 --> 00:18:00,840
Speaker 1: the week after all right, you're very welcod sir, you

330
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:03,359
Speaker 1: were funny. You're very welcome. So I wonder if his

331
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 1: wife's name is Mindy Morton Mindy. Now I had to

332
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:07,639
Speaker 1: get that in there. I'm sorry, mord I love you.

333
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 1: I'm just kidding. So, um, that would be kind of neat, right,

334
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:12,120
Speaker 1: who'd you married Mindy? They'd be the M and m's.

335
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:15,080
Speaker 1: I'm running any of the card doctor five zero nine

336
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:17,720
Speaker 1: zero zero. I better go now, these are like dad jokes.

337
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:29,280
Speaker 1: I'll be back right after this. Welcome back running any

338
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:31,200
Speaker 1: of the car doctor here. Let's I don't wanna talk

339
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:34,840
Speaker 1: to Paul in Minnesota? Is that a? Is that a plan? On?

340
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 1: Where its? Tom? I get it? Tom's being funny Minnesota, Tom, Paul?

341
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:42,280
Speaker 1: How are you today, sir? Already, sir, is your senior

342
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 1: master Ford guy in the Great White North? How cold

343
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 1: is it in the Great White North today? Oh? Not

344
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:51,000
Speaker 1: too bad. It's a balmy. It's only it's about eight

345
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:54,080
Speaker 1: twenty below tonight. But we're out of that forty seven

346
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 1: below from two weeks ago. But anyway, it's been very amusing. Yeah,

347
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 1: I can say I can imagine. Um. First off, I

348
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:05,240
Speaker 1: got one for your friend. I think he was in

349
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:11,720
Speaker 1: Vermont with his old Ford pickup George to another M

350
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:14,920
Speaker 1: A c. S. Max. I think they're in New York State.

351
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:19,560
Speaker 1: But if you've got model t through about any model Ford,

352
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 1: They've got everything. Max M A c. S. Yep, yep,

353
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 1: been around forever. Go online. If he's not online, tell

354
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:33,400
Speaker 1: him to go to local library and get online there

355
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:37,199
Speaker 1: and get a catalog for your model vehicle. It's a

356
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 1: party interesting, I agree. Pick up from them, all right?

357
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:46,400
Speaker 1: All right, yeah, well you know that's what this show

358
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:49,200
Speaker 1: is about. Man. It's like everybody's everybody's got a trick

359
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:50,880
Speaker 1: up their sleeve, a way to do it. So that's

360
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 1: that's great. Yeah, they're good and their prices are right

361
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 1: and the service is excellent. Cool. Um, that's I like that.

362
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 1: Let me ask you a question, Paul. I've been looking

363
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:02,919
Speaker 1: for it. I've been I've been looking for a while.

364
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:07,359
Speaker 1: Ford IDSU. They don't they don't really make it. They

365
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 1: don't really make any great training material available for that tool,

366
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 1: do they? Uh? The only training of courses corporate and

367
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 1: you have to be in that loop to get it.

368
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 1: And they had both excellent web course and then also

369
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 1: a school course on it, but they don't make great

370
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:30,399
Speaker 1: reference material available. You know, there's not a lot of books,

371
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 1: there's not a lot of instructional information. It's it's everything

372
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:37,640
Speaker 1: gets pieced together here and they they're holding that very

373
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 1: close to the vest. And uh, I've heard that before. Yeah, um,

374
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:45,119
Speaker 1: it's really difficult to I've been to I've been to

375
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 1: a few motorcraft classes put on and you know, they

376
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 1: go through and they explain it. They don't give out

377
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:53,680
Speaker 1: a lot of information they you know, it's I'm not sure.

378
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:55,760
Speaker 1: I'm not sure if we're guarding the Norton bomb side

379
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:57,520
Speaker 1: or if we're just trying to you know, we just

380
00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:02,120
Speaker 1: we just don't um, you know, but it's it's it's

381
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 1: it's a shame, it really is. Yeah. No, it's an excellent,

382
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 1: excellent tool. But yeah, they're they're really they got both

383
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:15,919
Speaker 1: arms around it. Yeah, absolutely, So I got a quick one.

384
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:18,120
Speaker 1: I got a quick one for you. I need your

385
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:21,840
Speaker 1: I need your assistance on it or your ideas. And

386
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 1: this this bloomed up here when we were hitting the

387
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 1: fort below more eco boost pick ups. Gets that cold,

388
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:37,720
Speaker 1: the vehicles would chill completely in the cooling system would lockdown.

389
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:43,680
Speaker 1: We've done they've done, thermostats, water pumps, everything else, and

390
00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:47,359
Speaker 1: nothing fixes it. Of course, now it's like maybe twenty

391
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 1: below at night and it doesn't come back. When you

392
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:54,640
Speaker 1: say chill down, you mean the cooling system would actually

393
00:21:54,680 --> 00:22:00,200
Speaker 1: start the freeze. Yes, well not freeze they they or

394
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 1: the lower hosted would be ambient temperature. You'd lose heat

395
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:08,800
Speaker 1: in the cab. It wouldn't quit running. But if then

396
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:12,879
Speaker 1: you drive it, they'd come out of it. But if

397
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:18,680
Speaker 1: you leave it idle, they icologists locked down. You watch

398
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:23,960
Speaker 1: the temperature gage go to cold. People up here to

399
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:27,160
Speaker 1: put put a winter front on it or something like that.

400
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:29,919
Speaker 1: But again, thinking about the ego boost on early on

401
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:34,080
Speaker 1: had a lot of intercooler issues for the turbo. But

402
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:36,880
Speaker 1: now cooling system, what's going on? And then you call

403
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:41,399
Speaker 1: because I'm retired now, but I'm telling a couple of

404
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:44,280
Speaker 1: texts I know here and around the state. I'm like

405
00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:50,240
Speaker 1: ball call called the engineering line, you know, and everybody's like, uh, nope,

406
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:53,960
Speaker 1: we don't know what. We don't understand this. Well, you know,

407
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:57,640
Speaker 1: are we talking diesel or gas or both? No, just

408
00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 1: just just the two seven and the three five eco

409
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:03,840
Speaker 1: boost and pick up only you know, would it would

410
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 1: it help if I'm understanding the problem correctly. Would it

411
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:10,480
Speaker 1: help if we had a block eater? Uh? Oh yeah,

412
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:14,520
Speaker 1: and a period they plug him in, but that's it.

413
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:17,160
Speaker 1: They're taking it out and they're using the vehicle. They

414
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:20,360
Speaker 1: come and leave it idle and it's sporty below come out,

415
00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:24,520
Speaker 1: there's no heat compture, gauges a cold, it's still running.

416
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:27,399
Speaker 1: You check the lower hose and you can free your

417
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 1: hand on it. It's like the circulation and the engine

418
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 1: completely shuts down. And you know why it'll be so

419
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:35,399
Speaker 1: hard to get an answer for that to get fixed

420
00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:38,480
Speaker 1: as sad as it is. Oh yeah, well because because

421
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 1: I have it, it's got to be forty below. Well,

422
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:42,879
Speaker 1: well know what I'm thinking is because look at the

423
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 1: look at the amount of the population in Minnesota and

424
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:49,720
Speaker 1: and and the upper states there, and then you know,

425
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:52,919
Speaker 1: it's it's a small percentage of the population versus the

426
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:56,320
Speaker 1: guy in Florida doesn't care, the guy in California doesn't care.

427
00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 1: Demand for a fix, right, there's no demand for a

428
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 1: fix until people you know, you know, get up with it.

429
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:05,560
Speaker 1: And I'm sitting here, I'm thinking, gee, why can't we

430
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:08,680
Speaker 1: put some sort of block heater or wrap the heater

431
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:11,119
Speaker 1: or hose in some sort of electric blanket device and

432
00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 1: tie that into the block heater. When you tie it in,

433
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:17,359
Speaker 1: you're heating the hoses. You're heating the block. And you know,

434
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:20,120
Speaker 1: maybe we should invent something we could all just move

435
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:22,879
Speaker 1: to a warm climate and be done with it. Um

436
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 1: you know, but that's what I would be thinking about.

437
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:26,200
Speaker 1: I would be thinking about, you know, a way to

438
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:30,160
Speaker 1: keep things warm. Um. Yeah. And again to when you're

439
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:33,119
Speaker 1: wearing wearing that scenario up here, because I'm mark in

440
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:40,400
Speaker 1: part time at an auto parts store. Big big failures, batteries, alternators, starters,

441
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:45,679
Speaker 1: wiring issues. Uh yeah, people don't People don't realize all

442
00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:49,960
Speaker 1: extreme is blowing up. You know. People don't realize the

443
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 1: damage that the hydraulics or that the that the extreme

444
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:56,760
Speaker 1: cold weather does, and you know what it can do

445
00:24:57,119 --> 00:25:00,359
Speaker 1: in terms of making the vehicles operation uh that much

446
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:03,520
Speaker 1: more of a hardship. Um so, but yeah, absolutely, Paul, listen,

447
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 1: I gotta go, but I appreciate the conversation as always. Sure,

448
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 1: a pleasure to hear from you. Stay warm up there

449
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:10,160
Speaker 1: and we'll talk to you again soon. Eight five five

450
00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:13,560
Speaker 1: zero nine zero zero running any car Doctor, We're back

451
00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:26,760
Speaker 1: right after this. Welcome back running any of the car Doctor.

452
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:29,000
Speaker 1: Let's get over and talk to Tim and Florida. Tim.

453
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:31,720
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Car Doctor, Sir, how can I help? Hey?

454
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:35,080
Speaker 1: How's it going wrong? Good? What's going on? Hey? So, um,

455
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:37,359
Speaker 1: I just wanted to call and give a shout out. Um.

456
00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 1: I my good friend of mine had a two thousand

457
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 1: and ten Toyota Tundra and so he was having some problems.

458
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:47,719
Speaker 1: A couple of check engine lights and codes came up

459
00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:51,439
Speaker 1: and for a startability code, a couple of codes about

460
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:55,280
Speaker 1: the air air pump and things like that. And anyway,

461
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:58,080
Speaker 1: I'm kind of a backyard mechanic, so I've always learned

462
00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:00,080
Speaker 1: to just kind of throw parts. I've been listening to

463
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:04,040
Speaker 1: for a while now, And yeah, you called me a lot,

464
00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 1: and so I I was looking at it, and he

465
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:09,480
Speaker 1: was going to have to replace the entire everything at

466
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:13,000
Speaker 1: the whole whole system at the mechanic shop. And I

467
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:14,560
Speaker 1: told him, I was like, I don't know. I mean,

468
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:16,760
Speaker 1: I've got this guy and listened to on the radio

469
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:19,920
Speaker 1: and he always says, was the last time you change

470
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:22,160
Speaker 1: your battery? So you told me it was two thousand

471
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 1: and four teams, So I was like, well, let's do

472
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:26,440
Speaker 1: a load test before you get into it. And it

473
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:28,560
Speaker 1: turned out being the battery. Yeah, we did a load test,

474
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:31,000
Speaker 1: a load test failed. He replaced the battery. His truck

475
00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:33,960
Speaker 1: was in the limp mode and everything, and we replaced

476
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:36,600
Speaker 1: the battery and it was worth great. A hundred dollar

477
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 1: battery and truck runs great. Now. It kind of blew

478
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:41,240
Speaker 1: my mind. But I would have never thought I was

479
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:42,880
Speaker 1: listening to you as much as I do. I would

480
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:45,480
Speaker 1: have never thought to ever even try the battery I got.

481
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:50,280
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you to him batteries or everything. And listen,

482
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:52,440
Speaker 1: I had this conversation. I'll tell you a quick story.

483
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:55,600
Speaker 1: PHELLI came into the shop this week and and his

484
00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:58,320
Speaker 1: friend brought him in, and frankly, were so busy in

485
00:26:58,359 --> 00:26:59,720
Speaker 1: the shop. I told him, I said, listen, I'm not

486
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 1: thinking any more projects right now. I'm trying to dig

487
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:03,040
Speaker 1: out from the pile of cars that I have. So

488
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:04,960
Speaker 1: I listened to the story at the counter, and he's

489
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 1: tell me about his his his f one fifty that

490
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:11,200
Speaker 1: has this running problem that mechanics can't fix. And during

491
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:13,800
Speaker 1: the course of the diagnosis, he's he's telling me about

492
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:16,600
Speaker 1: the parts he changed and I said, but tell me

493
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:19,439
Speaker 1: what's good. You know, what did you test? And he

494
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:22,280
Speaker 1: didn't test anything. Well, he tested a few things. He

495
00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:25,080
Speaker 1: told me the fuel pressure was four inches and I

496
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:29,639
Speaker 1: went four inches. What the hell is four inches? And

497
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:32,640
Speaker 1: like this, I swear to God. He goes, let's see.

498
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:34,360
Speaker 1: He goes the strader of Elvis here and he's got

499
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:36,639
Speaker 1: his hand on the on the on the counter and

500
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:39,000
Speaker 1: he said, when I pushed down on the strader, the

501
00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:42,080
Speaker 1: fuel comes up. And I go, wait a minute, you're

502
00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:44,480
Speaker 1: telling me you tested fuel pressure by pushing down on

503
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:47,919
Speaker 1: the strader and by how high it's squared it up.

504
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 1: That's your measurement for if it's good or bad. He goes, yeah,

505
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 1: what's wrong with that? He said, that must mean there's

506
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:54,240
Speaker 1: a lot of pressure there. It shut up four five inches.

507
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:57,360
Speaker 1: I go, dude, five pounds, thirty pounds, it's still gonna

508
00:27:57,359 --> 00:27:59,359
Speaker 1: shoot up. I said, if they wanted to be measured

509
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:01,560
Speaker 1: in inches, they would giving you a ruler, you know,

510
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:04,679
Speaker 1: instead of a fuel pressure gage. So you know, I

511
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:08,120
Speaker 1: kinda listen. I've heard this before. It's not the first time.

512
00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:10,040
Speaker 1: A lot of guys are by the inch foot pounds

513
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:13,600
Speaker 1: of fuel pressure mechanics, but the point becomes, tell me

514
00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:16,560
Speaker 1: what's good? You know what did you test? Don't sit

515
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:18,600
Speaker 1: there and say I think it's this, I think it's that.

516
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:21,159
Speaker 1: Do what you did? All right? Well? Could it be

517
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:24,639
Speaker 1: a battery? Yeah, listen, it could be. Um. I had

518
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:26,920
Speaker 1: this conversation with my friend Chris Lewis. Chris is a

519
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:28,879
Speaker 1: national trainer. Now we used, we used to work together

520
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:32,000
Speaker 1: side by side for many years. We just we just

521
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:36,320
Speaker 1: had a great conversation this week about diagnostic routine. And

522
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:38,920
Speaker 1: we're all victims of it, right, we all, we all

523
00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:41,000
Speaker 1: were on in a hurry. We all we it's gonna

524
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:42,240
Speaker 1: be a lot of money. We don't want to do this.

525
00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:44,960
Speaker 1: We don't want to do that. What's your diagnostic routine?

526
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:46,920
Speaker 1: What's the first ten things you check when a car

527
00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:50,560
Speaker 1: has a problem? And you know, are you doing that?

528
00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:56,920
Speaker 1: And listen? Um? For diesels, all right, we'll develop a

529
00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:59,600
Speaker 1: hesitation and they won't run well and they'll have all

530
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:05,200
Speaker 1: kinds of running issues. And yeah, if I tell you

531
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:08,600
Speaker 1: that the intake air tempt sensor on certain for diesel

532
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:12,560
Speaker 1: trucks is located, are you ready for this in the

533
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:19,680
Speaker 1: passenger side mirror? All right? At right? And how many

534
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:23,720
Speaker 1: of these vehicles I fixed because you know, I'm telling you,

535
00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 1: the truck comes in, it doesn't run right, and you

536
00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:28,120
Speaker 1: look at it and you go, why is the mirror

537
00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:31,480
Speaker 1: on the right side slightly different. You talk to the customer, Well,

538
00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 1: I had this, I was in an accident. I took

539
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:35,800
Speaker 1: it to a body shop and I had them changed

540
00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:40,479
Speaker 1: the mirror. And you say, well, did the problem happened after?

541
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:43,040
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you know what now that you mentioned it. Yeah,

542
00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 1: when I got it back, it just didn't run right

543
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 1: in the check engine light came on because the aftermarket mirror.

544
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:50,000
Speaker 1: And we've we've actually proven this a couple of times.

545
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:53,440
Speaker 1: The aftermarket mirrors, depending upon what the poor how poor

546
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:56,520
Speaker 1: of a quality they are, the sensors can be anywhere

547
00:29:56,600 --> 00:30:01,520
Speaker 1: from ten to forty degrees different in terms of calibration.

548
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:05,640
Speaker 1: They're just horrible. Uh, you know, so you're starting to

549
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:07,360
Speaker 1: look at trucks. Now. I look at trucks and I go, yeah,

550
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:09,000
Speaker 1: that's got a new mirror. Look, it's gonna be this,

551
00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:12,480
Speaker 1: and it is. It's just what did you test? Tell

552
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:19,800
Speaker 1: me what's good? Tell me what you're tested? And goohead, no, yeah,

553
00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:21,840
Speaker 1: that's and that's what I talked to him about. And

554
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:25,400
Speaker 1: once again, all because of listening to you. Um but yeah,

555
00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:28,000
Speaker 1: same thing. I was just like, well, let's find out

556
00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:30,760
Speaker 1: go with the cheapest thing first, the most simple first

557
00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:33,400
Speaker 1: would be a battery, and then if that passes, then

558
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 1: we'll go from there and end up working. So I

559
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:39,920
Speaker 1: really appreciate you, and I really enjoy listening. I've learned

560
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 1: a ton listening to you. You know what, Tim, I'm

561
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:46,120
Speaker 1: glad to be here for you. I I sit here

562
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:48,680
Speaker 1: and I think, am I doing the right thing? Sometimes?

563
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:51,680
Speaker 1: Am I giving out the right information? Is it enough information?

564
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:54,600
Speaker 1: Can I make it simpler? Can I make it? Unfortunately,

565
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:56,680
Speaker 1: the job behind the microphone and the counter is getting

566
00:30:56,760 --> 00:30:59,160
Speaker 1: tougher every week because the complexity of the car is

567
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:03,640
Speaker 1: just getting tougher every week. It's it's and you know,

568
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 1: the tougher it gets the more I dig in and

569
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 1: the further I go into the bag of tricks where

570
00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:12,480
Speaker 1: I say, you know what, we've got to get back

571
00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:16,240
Speaker 1: to basics. Show me what's good so and listen. Whether

572
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:19,320
Speaker 1: whether anybody believes it or not, I'm in school two

573
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:21,840
Speaker 1: or three times a month. I'm still going back to

574
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:24,440
Speaker 1: classes after doing this forty plus years, and I'd be

575
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:27,920
Speaker 1: doing it this service if I wasn't, and I think

576
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:30,959
Speaker 1: that you're constantly training in this business. The the evolution.

577
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:34,479
Speaker 1: I read a report the other day that General Motors

578
00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:37,000
Speaker 1: is predicting. Now think about this and then I'll let

579
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:40,920
Speaker 1: you go. The technology we're gonna see in the next

580
00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:44,840
Speaker 1: five years in automobiles, both in you know, what the

581
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:48,600
Speaker 1: car can do and the technology to repair it is

582
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:54,560
Speaker 1: going to be more than the previous twenty Yeah, it

583
00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:56,680
Speaker 1: kind of is, right, makes that seventy two Monty Carlo

584
00:31:56,680 --> 00:32:00,360
Speaker 1: look all that much more desirable. Uh, you know, but

585
00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:03,080
Speaker 1: it's it's just it's just a it's just a it's

586
00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 1: a crazy field. It really is, so tam. I appreciate

587
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:08,640
Speaker 1: the call, brother, and um, you take good care and

588
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:10,760
Speaker 1: have some fun down there in Florida this weekend. All right,

603
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:53,360
Speaker 1: Que Tom, write that down. That was a good I

604
00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:56,200
Speaker 1: did that right that time. Let's do a quick piece

605
00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:58,600
Speaker 1: of email. Ron. You know, I was reading this email

606
00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:01,440
Speaker 1: and I'm thinking, where are we going here? I purchased

607
00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:04,200
Speaker 1: a eighteen four d F one fifty with nine thousand

608
00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:06,560
Speaker 1: miles on it. On the day we were to take delivery,

609
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:09,640
Speaker 1: the check engine light was on. Well there's dealer efficiency,

610
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:12,000
Speaker 1: dealer scanned, and state and I don't mean old dealers.

611
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:13,440
Speaker 1: I'm just saying I'd like to be the guy selling

612
00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:15,360
Speaker 1: this one by the truck with the check engine light on.

613
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:18,760
Speaker 1: It's okay. Dealer scanned and stated they had to replace injectors,

614
00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:21,200
Speaker 1: no problem. But after the work was completed, there was

615
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:23,720
Speaker 1: a strong gas smell. I was called to pick up

616
00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:26,360
Speaker 1: the truck the next day, not fixed. Still gas smell.

617
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:29,360
Speaker 1: Four times. I was told the truck was ready four times,

618
00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:32,720
Speaker 1: still smelled gas. I've now given the truck back. Asked

619
00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:34,880
Speaker 1: after a week if they had it fixed. Answer nope.

620
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:36,800
Speaker 1: By the way, two points seven dual turbo engine. I

621
00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:42,280
Speaker 1: brought a Chevy. Now, any ideas, Kevin? Yeah, Kevin, you know, listen,

622
00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:45,160
Speaker 1: if if any place is going to sell you a

623
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:48,080
Speaker 1: car and the check engine lights on, guess what. They're idiots?

624
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:50,440
Speaker 1: All right? I mean there's something wrong with them. That's

625
00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:53,840
Speaker 1: not any way to do business. And if, if, if

626
00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:55,640
Speaker 1: they don't know how to sell the car, it wouldn't

627
00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:57,080
Speaker 1: be a surprise that they don't know how to fix

628
00:33:57,120 --> 00:34:00,320
Speaker 1: the car. So I've got a vehicle with a fuel smell.

629
00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:01,760
Speaker 1: I can't find it. How about we hook up a

630
00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:04,480
Speaker 1: fuel pressure gauge. Hook up a fuel pressure gauge to

631
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:06,920
Speaker 1: a leakdown test, Start the engine, let it run, look

632
00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:09,279
Speaker 1: at fuel pressure. Fuel pressure is good? Shut it off?

633
00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:12,840
Speaker 1: Does fuel pressure bleed down right away? If the system

634
00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:17,040
Speaker 1: holds pressure, it's not a leak. It's residue fuel somewhere,

635
00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:23,120
Speaker 1: or it's something that's leaking before the pressure measurement is taken.

636
00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:27,240
Speaker 1: All right, Second thought, do they have a five gas

637
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:31,960
Speaker 1: engine analyzer? Fuel is hydrocarbons. Row fuel will indicate hydrocarbons.

638
00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:35,280
Speaker 1: Could they take a five gas probe and sniff around

639
00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:38,040
Speaker 1: the top of the engine looking for where the hydrocarbons

640
00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:40,560
Speaker 1: are the strongest. Perhaps it's down in a well somewhere

641
00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:43,080
Speaker 1: that nobody can get to. Perhaps it's leaking into a

642
00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:46,440
Speaker 1: well that nobody can get to. Basic diagnostics. Man, I'm

643
00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:48,440
Speaker 1: sorry you had to go through that. Chevy's a nice

644
00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:51,560
Speaker 1: truck too. You'll be happy with that. And um, you know,

645
00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:52,759
Speaker 1: if they ever do fix it and you want to

646
00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:54,120
Speaker 1: give us, give us a call, let us know what

647
00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:56,120
Speaker 1: they really did. I'm wanting any card doctor. The mechanics

648
00:34:56,160 --> 00:35:04,719
Speaker 1: aren't expensive, they're priceless, she used to supper dar
