My experience, I run fifty 170 00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:27,840 Speaker 1: two to fifty five on those cars, and I will 171 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:30,200 Speaker 1: generally get the cat monitor to go within a twelve 172 00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:34,040 Speaker 1: to fifteen minute time frame. All right, I've learned. I've 173 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:36,240 Speaker 1: learned to put the the crew. Do you have cruise 174 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:41,040 Speaker 1: control in the truck? Put cruise on? And the reason 175 00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:44,520 Speaker 1: the reason I say that is because you know, we're 176 00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:47,240 Speaker 1: not as smooth as the machine. If you know what 177 00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:50,680 Speaker 1: I'm saying, and at cruise control, it will a cruise 178 00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:54,480 Speaker 1: control doesn't allow for you know, sudden acceleration and and 179 00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:59,280 Speaker 1: and the acceleration. It's a controlled it's a controlled control 180 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:01,920 Speaker 1: of the vehicle, if I can say it that way. Okay, 181 00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:05,760 Speaker 1: so you know fifty two fifty fifty eight somewhere in 182 00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:09,320 Speaker 1: that time frame, and just watch them and see see 183 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:12,120 Speaker 1: where it comes up. Now, the other codes that you're getting, 184 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 1: what when you say other codes? What are they? Yeah? 185 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:17,800 Speaker 1: You know what? I put the code reader on. Then 186 00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:19,839 Speaker 1: I had to update it, and I think that's code 187 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:22,240 Speaker 1: reader was making it go crazy because when I had 188 00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:25,840 Speaker 1: it in, the ABS would start blinking in the break. 189 00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:27,680 Speaker 1: Then as I as I took it out, I would 190 00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:30,640 Speaker 1: turn the car off without a tool there, and then 191 00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,600 Speaker 1: it wouldn't be normal. But I had a use zero 192 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:42,800 Speaker 1: zero one nine a communication. You may use zero for 193 00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:46,440 Speaker 1: the purposes of this conversation. You fault codes or communication 194 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:50,000 Speaker 1: related um. I have seen after markets can tools. Heck, 195 00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:54,680 Speaker 1: I've seen you know, major line different versions of snap 196 00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:57,800 Speaker 1: ons and otcs and launch all costs communication faults too. 197 00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:00,760 Speaker 1: So I wouldn't I wouldn't take that to heart. So 198 00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:05,559 Speaker 1: the key is that for either O two or CAT monitor, 199 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:09,600 Speaker 1: it's critical for temperature, it's critical for steady speed. I've 200 00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:11,959 Speaker 1: never seen a CAT monitor run on the majority of 201 00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:17,240 Speaker 1: vehicles that I've tested anything over sixty No, go alright, 202 00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:21,080 Speaker 1: because I'm almost always over that. Yeah, so that's that's 203 00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:23,440 Speaker 1: probably a good portion of the problem. So slow down 204 00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:26,520 Speaker 1: a little, find a quiet stretch, and I know it's 205 00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:29,040 Speaker 1: another thing that I noticed that that that you know, 206 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:32,400 Speaker 1: the holes from the PCV valve. Right, I goes to 207 00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:34,559 Speaker 1: the air box that was off. I don't know how 208 00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:37,599 Speaker 1: it fell off or whatever. I put that back out. No, 209 00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:39,880 Speaker 1: not likely it's dry, rotten and cracks. So just get 210 00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:41,080 Speaker 1: a new one and put it, you know, put it 211 00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:45,040 Speaker 1: back together. But let's let's try, let's try casual driving. 212 00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:49,400 Speaker 1: The most the most critical measurement here is engine temperature 213 00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:52,920 Speaker 1: is going to be the biggest, uh, biggest common denominator 214 00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:54,800 Speaker 1: here to get this thing up to speed. And that 215 00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:58,880 Speaker 1: has to be well. It starts, It starts, It starts 216 00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:03,280 Speaker 1: the pretest condition. It begins, um when it hits a 217 00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:06,000 Speaker 1: all right, and then from there on ind they're looking 218 00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:09,600 Speaker 1: for a gradual increase in temperature. They're looking for a 219 00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:13,040 Speaker 1: steady state of driving, and they're looking for no jack 220 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:16,240 Speaker 1: rabbit acceleration or de acceleration. And they're looking for a 221 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:19,840 Speaker 1: set time speed. So and why why are those two 222 00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:22,360 Speaker 1: censors not ready? Does want to have as soon as 223 00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:25,679 Speaker 1: one will get ready the other one world to do with? Well, 224 00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:28,080 Speaker 1: now they both actually have something to do with each other. 225 00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:31,559 Speaker 1: The catalytic converter. Think of how the computers operating. The 226 00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:35,600 Speaker 1: oxygen sensor is before and after the cat and an 227 00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:39,599 Speaker 1: oxygen sensor measures oxygen. It measures how much oxygen is 228 00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:43,520 Speaker 1: left in the exhaust after the combustion process. If before 229 00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:49,400 Speaker 1: the before the catalytic converter. It's seeing. It's seeing oxygen 230 00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:52,920 Speaker 1: what comes out the other side, or fifty oxygen what 231 00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:55,400 Speaker 1: comes out the other side. A fifty percent oxygen is 232 00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:59,720 Speaker 1: going in and it only sees coming out. It knows 233 00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:02,960 Speaker 1: it's a good cat. It's got oxygen storage capacity. Catalytic 234 00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:06,520 Speaker 1: converter has to store oxygen to have the catalytic reaction 235 00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:10,160 Speaker 1: for combustion to take place, for for cleaning up the exhaust. 236 00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:14,760 Speaker 1: If it sees going in coming out, it says, wait 237 00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:16,160 Speaker 1: a minute, and that's when you get the dreaded P 238 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:20,080 Speaker 1: zero four code, the catalytic converter efficiency fault because the 239 00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:23,040 Speaker 1: cats not being efficient. It's looking at the O two 240 00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:27,559 Speaker 1: sensors to tell is the system capable of being tested. 241 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:29,920 Speaker 1: It looks at O two's to tell if the cats 242 00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:32,440 Speaker 1: any good. That's why the both of those are tied together. 243 00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:35,360 Speaker 1: Chances are you get the O tudor pass the cattle 244 00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:38,480 Speaker 1: go on its own, or vice versa. I've seen Chrysler 245 00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:40,800 Speaker 1: do it both ways. It doesn't make sense to me. 246 00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:43,040 Speaker 1: It makes sense to me that O two should go 247 00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:45,160 Speaker 1: first and then cat. I've had to go the other 248 00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:47,600 Speaker 1: way where cat goes first and then oh two. But 249 00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:51,040 Speaker 1: either way it's still critical for temperature, driving conditions and 250 00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:54,040 Speaker 1: steady speed. I gotta go ump roaming. I'm up against 251 00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:56,000 Speaker 1: the clock. You try that, you call me back if 252 00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:59,839 Speaker 1: that doesn't work, Zo zero running anying the card. Do 253 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:09,760 Speaker 1: to writ your service right after this. Whether it's a 254 00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:12,840 Speaker 1: little red Corvette or you go. You've come to the 255 00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:15,240 Speaker 1: right place to get that car fixed. Ron and Ady 256 00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:19,560 Speaker 1: in the Car Doctor eight five five five zero zero zero. 257 00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:23,200 Speaker 1: Now back to Ron. Doesn't Tom do a great job 258 00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:26,280 Speaker 1: announcing that number. I'll tell you the guy's a genius. 259 00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:28,120 Speaker 1: He could just have He could have a career on radio. 260 00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:30,480 Speaker 1: Voice of an Angel. He's a voice of an angel, 261 00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:33,199 Speaker 1: he really is. He's just he's superb. What do I 262 00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:34,880 Speaker 1: get on the humble meter? Michael? Did I get like 263 00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:37,080 Speaker 1: a Did I get like a three? I'll give you 264 00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:38,880 Speaker 1: a three three point five? Just you know, I gotta 265 00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:40,520 Speaker 1: be nice to Tom, after all, you know, he's the 266 00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:43,080 Speaker 1: only time we got. Don't tell him I was saying 267 00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:44,760 Speaker 1: nice things about him. Let's get on over and talk 268 00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:48,840 Speaker 1: to Ed and Salem, New Jersey eighteen Volkswagen and some 269 00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:51,520 Speaker 1: questions about Visconsiny. Hey, Ed, Welcome to the Car Doctor, sir, 270 00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:54,760 Speaker 1: how can I help Rod? Actually, it's fair law in 271 00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:59,760 Speaker 1: New Jersey I have I have a two thousand and 272 00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:05,280 Speaker 1: eight t T one. But my question is who benefits 273 00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:10,800 Speaker 1: the most from the lower viscosity motor oils. Originally the 274 00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:15,760 Speaker 1: car had a recall and changed from Volkswagen Standard five 275 00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:19,440 Speaker 1: O four to Volkswagen Standard five oh eight. It went 276 00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:24,280 Speaker 1: from five W forty oil to zero W twenty oil. 277 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:30,000 Speaker 1: I understand that Falsewagen get to benefit by the higher 278 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:34,840 Speaker 1: cafe and I get a slight benefit fit from higher 279 00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:38,480 Speaker 1: fuel malage. But is there any downside to this for 280 00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:42,400 Speaker 1: me the consumer? I don't think so. And I understand 281 00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:45,320 Speaker 1: your question because your concern is you're more concerned with, 282 00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:48,960 Speaker 1: you know, protecting the engine than worrying about Volkswagen lining 283 00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:51,720 Speaker 1: their pockets with with a higher CAFE rating. I get that. 284 00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:55,400 Speaker 1: You know, in recent years, I've done a lot of 285 00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:59,200 Speaker 1: reading about oil viscosity and oil requirements, and there there 286 00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:02,880 Speaker 1: is prob probably I've got to say, oil viscosity or 287 00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:06,479 Speaker 1: how oil guidelines are met, is probably one of the 288 00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:09,840 Speaker 1: biggest question marks in the industry. There there's more being 289 00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:13,920 Speaker 1: written about it every day to the level that and 290 00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:17,560 Speaker 1: I truly believe this. I wonder if anybody is really 291 00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:21,520 Speaker 1: getting correct oil for their engine unless they're using the 292 00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:26,600 Speaker 1: exact spec oil from the manufacturer, which is just impossible. 293 00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:28,920 Speaker 1: I don't see how anybody could do it, you know, 294 00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:31,960 Speaker 1: simply simply put, it's not able to be distributed. I 295 00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:35,080 Speaker 1: don't think Volkswagen can produce enough oil to meet all 296 00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:37,440 Speaker 1: the volkswagons on the road, and Ford and Chrysler and 297 00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:41,360 Speaker 1: GM and so on. So I just I really wonder 298 00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:44,400 Speaker 1: about things like you're thinking, you know, what's the what's 299 00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:48,160 Speaker 1: what's the endgame here? What are they really trying to accomplish? Um, 300 00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:52,000 Speaker 1: I'm more a fan of I listen to what the 301 00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:56,600 Speaker 1: manufacturer has to say. Zero twenty has come a long way. 302 00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:59,880 Speaker 1: If they're telling you zero twenty, Because here's the rub. 303 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:03,360 Speaker 1: If they're telling you zero twenty and you continue to 304 00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:06,640 Speaker 1: use five forty and you're using the dealer to do 305 00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:09,520 Speaker 1: the service work, or you're using an outside shop to 306 00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:13,000 Speaker 1: do the service work, what what sort of warranty does 307 00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:19,960 Speaker 1: the engine have on it? Watch this, so it's got 308 00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:23,160 Speaker 1: a seventy two mile warranty on the engine. If you 309 00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:25,800 Speaker 1: use an outside shop and they're using they continue to 310 00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:27,640 Speaker 1: use the five forty, because that's what you want. Because 311 00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:31,680 Speaker 1: Volkswagen wan poor five forty and at sixty thous miles 312 00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:35,160 Speaker 1: the engine grenades, and you've done your oil changes on 313 00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:39,240 Speaker 1: time every time, but you've used five forty two things 314 00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:41,120 Speaker 1: are gonna happen. Number one, They're gonna take an oil 315 00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:42,840 Speaker 1: sample out of the crank case, and they can tell 316 00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:45,120 Speaker 1: what viscosity is, and they can break down that oil 317 00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:46,760 Speaker 1: to the nth de gree. They can probably tell you 318 00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:50,800 Speaker 1: the day in time it was manufactured. Number one. Number two, 319 00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,520 Speaker 1: it's not five, it's not zero twenty like it's supposed 320 00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:58,080 Speaker 1: to be, and it's the wrong oil warranties up. All right, 321 00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:01,600 Speaker 1: If if if the end of repair shop is using 322 00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:04,440 Speaker 1: a computerized repair program like most shops are today, they're 323 00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:06,560 Speaker 1: probably telling you that it's five forty or zero twenty 324 00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:09,120 Speaker 1: or whatever it is, and they're gonna say, okay, now, 325 00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:11,159 Speaker 1: bring us proof of that you've done the oil changes. 326 00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:14,240 Speaker 1: Let's say, for example, that it passes the viscosity test 327 00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:17,080 Speaker 1: for some strange reason, or they don't test viscosity, and 328 00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:19,119 Speaker 1: the only question they got is, hey, yeah, bring us 329 00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:21,359 Speaker 1: all the invoices showing us that the oil has changed 330 00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:24,639 Speaker 1: every five or seven or ten thousand miles whatever crazy 331 00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:27,480 Speaker 1: mile Generval they want to go. And it shows up 332 00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:30,320 Speaker 1: with you know, all ten copies of his invoices since 333 00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:32,840 Speaker 1: the car had zero miles on it, and yep, I 334 00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:34,840 Speaker 1: did it at the proper interval. But you know, ed 335 00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:37,800 Speaker 1: this says five forty and you were in and you 336 00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:40,920 Speaker 1: saw us three years ago, and it said that we 337 00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:44,120 Speaker 1: told you about the t SB regarding the switch from 338 00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:48,880 Speaker 1: five to zero twenty oil. So therefore you've voided your warranty. 339 00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:52,879 Speaker 1: You know it's run unless I put it in myself. 340 00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:56,680 Speaker 1: I really know what they put in. No, you gotta 341 00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:59,680 Speaker 1: trust them. You gotta hope that they do and and 342 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:03,080 Speaker 1: night and they're using bol oil. Well, I'm sure you know. 343 00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:06,720 Speaker 1: I'll tell you a true story, absolute true story. Ed. 344 00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:10,080 Speaker 1: This happened to me years ago. Um, I actually lost 345 00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:12,160 Speaker 1: a customer over it. And I'll tell you what state point. 346 00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:14,960 Speaker 1: I'll tell the story when I returned, because it's exactly 347 00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:17,600 Speaker 1: about that, and it has to do with Volkswagen, and uh, 348 00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:20,080 Speaker 1: it's got nothing to do with my prejudices. The Volkswagen. 349 00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:22,760 Speaker 1: That's a whole another Volkswagen's two easy to make fun of. 350 00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:24,880 Speaker 1: But you know, well, we'll save that fro when we return, 351 00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:26,640 Speaker 1: I'm running any of the car Doctor, we'll be back 352 00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:28,040 Speaker 1: right on the other side of the break. Don't go 353 00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:53,879 Speaker 1: away backing the car doctor rolling along here? So Ed, 354 00:18:53,920 --> 00:19:00,800 Speaker 1: you're still there? Ed, okay, sir. So here's my here's 355 00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:04,320 Speaker 1: my argument for my reasons why I would keep copies 356 00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:07,239 Speaker 1: of oil change receipts, and I encourage everybody to do so, 357 00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:09,800 Speaker 1: because as you stay, you don't know what they're putting 358 00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:11,119 Speaker 1: in the vehicle when you go into it, when you 359 00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:13,080 Speaker 1: go into the dealer or any repair shop. I shouldn't 360 00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:15,520 Speaker 1: pick on dealers. I don't mean to. It's you know, 361 00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:17,879 Speaker 1: a repair shop is only as good as the individuals 362 00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:20,320 Speaker 1: that are in it and are being run by and 363 00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:23,280 Speaker 1: told to by management. So it doesn't matter whether it's 364 00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:25,840 Speaker 1: a twenty bay dealership or a three bay garage. It's 365 00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:29,880 Speaker 1: just the way it is good. Fifteen maybe eighteen years ago, 366 00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:32,240 Speaker 1: we had a customer with the Volkswagen and I'll never 367 00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:35,560 Speaker 1: forget this. I can still see Carol's face, the shocked 368 00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:37,880 Speaker 1: look on her face when you know we were doing 369 00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:41,520 Speaker 1: royal changes and we were buying oil that met Volkswagen 370 00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:43,840 Speaker 1: spect five oh two five oh three and five oh 371 00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:47,800 Speaker 1: five um at the time, and you know it was 372 00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:50,359 Speaker 1: I think at the time it was probably a hundred 373 00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:52,600 Speaker 1: and eighteen dollars a hundred and twenty dollars. It was 374 00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:55,040 Speaker 1: five or six quarts of synthetic oil and a filter 375 00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:59,760 Speaker 1: and six dollars labor, whatever it was. And one day 376 00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:01,960 Speaker 1: she ended up having to go to the dealer for 377 00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,040 Speaker 1: a recall and she was due for an oil change 378 00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:07,200 Speaker 1: and they did the oil change. She said, yes, here, 379 00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:08,639 Speaker 1: let me just do the oil change. And they did 380 00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:11,399 Speaker 1: the oil change and it was sixty two bucks. It 381 00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:14,800 Speaker 1: was half the price. And she came back very upset, 382 00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:16,479 Speaker 1: and she said, how can that be? She said, how 383 00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:19,200 Speaker 1: can you be, you know, such an upstanding repair shop, 384 00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:21,159 Speaker 1: and blah blah blah blah blah, and how can you 385 00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:23,439 Speaker 1: be double the money? I said, gee, I don't know. 386 00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:25,439 Speaker 1: I said, I don't get it. I said, you know, 387 00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:29,359 Speaker 1: I just don't understand. So I called up the parts 388 00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:31,119 Speaker 1: department because it happened to be where I purchased my 389 00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:34,320 Speaker 1: Volkswagon parts from. And I got a hold of the 390 00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:36,280 Speaker 1: parts manager that I knew very well, and he said, 391 00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:37,600 Speaker 1: I can tell you how they're doing it. He said, 392 00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:41,560 Speaker 1: they're not using the right oil. Uh, the phone almost 393 00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:43,679 Speaker 1: fell out of my hand. I said, say that again. 394 00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:45,880 Speaker 1: He said, yeah, we're not just using the right oil. 395 00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:47,760 Speaker 1: He goes, we're using bulk oil from a from a 396 00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:50,880 Speaker 1: you know, just a non name product, just to pump 397 00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:52,600 Speaker 1: oil in and out. And I said, but what happened 398 00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:54,800 Speaker 1: to meeting Volkswagon spec. You're the dealer. He goes, yeah, 399 00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:57,280 Speaker 1: but nobody ever questions it. And he said, we're just 400 00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:00,960 Speaker 1: pumping in conventional nonsynthetic oil. We're cars take synthetic, and 401 00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:03,320 Speaker 1: the cars last the warranty period and then it's not 402 00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:08,800 Speaker 1: our problem. And that's the mindset. Anything to do, anything, 403 00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:11,639 Speaker 1: to do a cheap oil change, anything to make the 404 00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:17,240 Speaker 1: customer happy. You know, somewhere along the way, somebody or 405 00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:20,600 Speaker 1: somebody's has to tell somebody what it takes to operate 406 00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:23,760 Speaker 1: a vehicle properly, and the hell with what it costs. 407 00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:27,280 Speaker 1: In playing English, you know, we all learned right from wrong. 408 00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:29,760 Speaker 1: We all learned that, you know, you don't go out 409 00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:31,800 Speaker 1: and stay out late Saturday night, expect to get up 410 00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:33,560 Speaker 1: for work Sunday or Monday, and so on and so forth, 411 00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:36,720 Speaker 1: because there's consequences if you keep repairing a car the 412 00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:40,080 Speaker 1: wrong way. There's consequences, There's there's things that go bad 413 00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:42,640 Speaker 1: with it. There's things that go wrong with it. It's 414 00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:46,520 Speaker 1: so darn important. So you know, in the case of 415 00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:48,800 Speaker 1: that Volkswagen, in the case of your Volkswagon, in the 416 00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:51,960 Speaker 1: case of everybody else that's listening, you get an oil change, 417 00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:54,840 Speaker 1: something as simple as an oil change. And I also 418 00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:57,040 Speaker 1: still hear that statement, it's just an oil change. How 419 00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:59,440 Speaker 1: hard could it be? Yeah, come on down, spend a 420 00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:00,760 Speaker 1: day with me at the shop. I'll show you how 421 00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:03,240 Speaker 1: hard an oil change could be. Um. I actually talk 422 00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:05,320 Speaker 1: to my insurance company years ago, and I've mentioned this 423 00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:07,240 Speaker 1: from time to time. I want to get people to 424 00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:09,119 Speaker 1: come in, right, spend a week with the car doctor. 425 00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:11,040 Speaker 1: All right, I'll show you. I'll show you what it 426 00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:13,320 Speaker 1: takes to fixed cars. You'll be my right hand, follow 427 00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:15,439 Speaker 1: me around the shop all day long, do what I 428 00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:17,440 Speaker 1: tell you to do. Friday, we're gonna let you change 429 00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:19,320 Speaker 1: the oil on your own car. Give you a couple 430 00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:21,920 Speaker 1: of really strong coffee, like will feed you all week long. 431 00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:23,879 Speaker 1: All right, and you're gonna get a T shirt that 432 00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:26,280 Speaker 1: says I survived Car Doctor boot Camp. I lasted the 433 00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:29,640 Speaker 1: week um, because I don't think everybody realizes what goes 434 00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:32,040 Speaker 1: into repairing a car, never mind just an oil change. 435 00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:34,679 Speaker 1: But if you're getting oil change is done as in 436 00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:37,320 Speaker 1: your case and everybody else's case, make sure you get 437 00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:41,439 Speaker 1: a receipt, make sure it specs out the oil. You know, 438 00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:43,080 Speaker 1: it would even be nice if it had the part 439 00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:45,320 Speaker 1: number of the oil. If it's being purchased from an 440 00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:47,520 Speaker 1: outside source, not that it just says Penn's oil or 441 00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:50,320 Speaker 1: Castro or something like that. What exact oil are they 442 00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:53,880 Speaker 1: putting in the car. And make sure it's a good quality. 443 00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:56,760 Speaker 1: Filter doesn't have to be in a we filter, something 444 00:22:56,800 --> 00:23:00,000 Speaker 1: like a Wix, a Wicks filter, alright, a Wicks oil 445 00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:03,040 Speaker 1: filter meets and exceeds OI manufacturer respects. If it's got 446 00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:05,640 Speaker 1: a Wigs filter on it, you're as good as gold. 447 00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:07,919 Speaker 1: Should you have a problem because the engine fails, and 448 00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:11,080 Speaker 1: it won't be because of that filter. So oil changes 449 00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:15,240 Speaker 1: are not that simple, they're really not. It's it's it's 450 00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:17,880 Speaker 1: it's probably the most basic service done to the car 451 00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:20,560 Speaker 1: short of putting air in the tires. And to me, 452 00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:23,800 Speaker 1: it's the source of biggest risk if it's done improperly, 453 00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:26,320 Speaker 1: and it's the source of biggest risk for the consumer 454 00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:28,960 Speaker 1: if they're not taking safeguards to make sure that the 455 00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:32,920 Speaker 1: oil change is being done right. Does that make sense? Yes, 456 00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:37,159 Speaker 1: it does. I have a Similo story without go ahead. 457 00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:40,320 Speaker 1: Brought it to the dealer for an oil change. Its 458 00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:46,120 Speaker 1: specified five W thirty oil. This car goes three three 459 00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:49,600 Speaker 1: hundred miles, takes ten gallons of gas thirty miles to 460 00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:53,520 Speaker 1: a gallon. Got the oil changed at the dealer. Now 461 00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:58,200 Speaker 1: I'm going two miles on the same ten gallons of gas. 462 00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:02,480 Speaker 1: The difference was the oil. The oil the dealer put 463 00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:07,080 Speaker 1: ten thirty even though it's specified five W thirty. I 464 00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:10,080 Speaker 1: did it myself. But the five W thirty, I'm back 465 00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:16,680 Speaker 1: up to the gallon. Now you pay attention, right, you do, 466 00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:19,920 Speaker 1: And you've got to ask yourself is that a mistake 467 00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:24,159 Speaker 1: or is that management? Because they're buying one viscosity oil 468 00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:27,320 Speaker 1: and that's all they're using. Listen, I know guys in 469 00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:30,400 Speaker 1: the business. You know, they'll come into the shop. They'll 470 00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:32,560 Speaker 1: be dropping off a car because we do flashing for 471 00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:35,679 Speaker 1: other other shops around us. We'll do computer programming, and 472 00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:37,960 Speaker 1: some guys walk in and have you ever walked into 473 00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:40,479 Speaker 1: the shop the white cabinets to the left. If one 474 00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:43,880 Speaker 1: of the doors is opened, there's I don't know, fourteen 475 00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:46,679 Speaker 1: different kinds of trans fluid, eight eight different types of 476 00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:50,320 Speaker 1: anti freezers. I mean, I tend to be manufacturer specific 477 00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:54,760 Speaker 1: because no fluid meets every car. And they'll look at 478 00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:56,040 Speaker 1: me and they'll go, how can you have all this 479 00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:58,600 Speaker 1: different kind of transfluid because you have to Oh no, 480 00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:00,720 Speaker 1: just it's all the same, isn't it. I mean, this 481 00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:03,919 Speaker 1: is all right. We're driving things that are you know, 482 00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:06,320 Speaker 1: the Space Shuttle looks simple compared to the cars people 483 00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:09,280 Speaker 1: are driving, and and you're just you're you're treating the 484 00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:11,879 Speaker 1: fluids in the car the lifeblood of the car like 485 00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:14,199 Speaker 1: it was a seventy two you know, buick like that 486 00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:17,240 Speaker 1: doesn't make any sense, but you know, this is what 487 00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:19,200 Speaker 1: we get today. And that's and that's why I say, 488 00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:21,679 Speaker 1: you know, I think before we see electric cars and 489 00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:26,080 Speaker 1: technology advanced much further successfully or on a widespread scale, 490 00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:28,280 Speaker 1: you've got to advance the industry. And that's part of 491 00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:30,600 Speaker 1: what this radio shows about. I hope I'm helping to 492 00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:34,320 Speaker 1: make inroads and making people aware.

Thank you, sir? What's going on? 505 00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:21,879 Speaker 1: My problem is a motor problem in my ninety nine Silverado. 506 00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:25,520 Speaker 1: I just bought it. I only own it for about 507 00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:29,159 Speaker 1: two hundred miles and the motors shot. Um. My question 508 00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:32,280 Speaker 1: is it's got a hunt showing a hundred twenty four 509 00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:34,199 Speaker 1: thousand miles. We're up here in the Rust Belt. It 510 00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:36,600 Speaker 1: doesn't look too bad underneath. I think I should be 511 00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:38,840 Speaker 1: able to get another hundred thousand miles or ten years 512 00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:42,720 Speaker 1: out of it. Um. Money is always a factor, but 513 00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:45,560 Speaker 1: I don't understand money spent wisely is the best way 514 00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:49,240 Speaker 1: to go. I'm wondering should I put a used motor 515 00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:52,480 Speaker 1: in it? Or should I buy a reman The remans 516 00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:57,200 Speaker 1: are somewhere around two thousand. I can buy a used 517 00:26:57,200 --> 00:27:00,800 Speaker 1: motor for probably half or lass. I'm a I'm going 518 00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:03,040 Speaker 1: to hire my mechanic to put it in so it 519 00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:07,639 Speaker 1: couldn't be extra labor in parts. And I say, swing 520 00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:11,200 Speaker 1: a Crepe motor. I really, I really do you gotta 521 00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:13,000 Speaker 1: you gotta think of it like this now. I'm sure 522 00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:16,080 Speaker 1: you know a ninety nine is let's say ninety nine, 523 00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:19,840 Speaker 1: two thousand nine. It's twenty years old. Yeah, uh, you know, 524 00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:23,040 Speaker 1: so if we want to try and find something similar 525 00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:25,920 Speaker 1: to that vintage, you know, and not play the game 526 00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:28,440 Speaker 1: of what sensors are different between a two thousand two 527 00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:30,439 Speaker 1: and a ninety nine or a ninety seven and a 528 00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:32,320 Speaker 1: ninety nine, that kind of thing without having to get 529 00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:35,280 Speaker 1: too deep into it, you know, the Crepe motor offers 530 00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:37,320 Speaker 1: I think the best possibilities. And I'd probably got out 531 00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:38,800 Speaker 1: of the GM and just buy a Crepe motor out 532 00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:41,240 Speaker 1: of the Crepe Motor store. You'll get a you'll get 533 00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:44,520 Speaker 1: a national warranty, all right. If you ever travel with it. 534 00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:48,080 Speaker 1: Um But more importantly or just as important, regardless of 535 00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:50,200 Speaker 1: what engine you put in it or from what manufacturer, 536 00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:52,520 Speaker 1: just I would go with re manufactured. I wouldn't go 537 00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:56,520 Speaker 1: with something used. Um well, and I'll make an exception 538 00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:59,920 Speaker 1: here unless you can find a good running ninety nine 539 00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:03,520 Speaker 1: and just like yours, something by some miracle, you find 540 00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:07,520 Speaker 1: something with low mileage that has a has a rusted 541 00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:10,080 Speaker 1: out body or you know, severe body damage, et cetera. 542 00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:11,920 Speaker 1: But you can hear the motor run before you take 543 00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:14,840 Speaker 1: it apart. That was my first instinct. But you know, 544 00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:16,879 Speaker 1: I don't think you'll find it. It's too old at 545 00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:20,560 Speaker 1: this stage. But you know that, being said a reman, 546 00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:23,199 Speaker 1: a great motor is a great option. But also, just 547 00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:24,760 Speaker 1: take a look at the rest of the truck. You're 548 00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:27,040 Speaker 1: doing an engine, you've got to do a radiator. You've 549 00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:29,760 Speaker 1: got to look at the brake and fuel lines all right, 550 00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:33,200 Speaker 1: they're they're all pretty The high pressure fuel lines look okay, 551 00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:34,880 Speaker 1: and the frame looks okay. Yeah, like I said, we're 552 00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:38,160 Speaker 1: in the rust belt. Help never judging things on break 553 00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:41,480 Speaker 1: land because they're always replaceable anyway. But uh, what I'd 554 00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:46,200 Speaker 1: like to know is, uh, my mechanic told me that, Uh, 555 00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:48,800 Speaker 1: I didn't. He didn't say what company they were from, 556 00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:52,000 Speaker 1: but he said that the reman motor lady put in 557 00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:56,440 Speaker 1: somebody's struck, they wouldn't guarantee the gaskets and the head 558 00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:59,080 Speaker 1: gasket must have went out on the guys right after 559 00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:00,800 Speaker 1: you put it in because the run right if he 560 00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:05,000 Speaker 1: tried to get recompensations with the owner and they wouldn't 561 00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:07,160 Speaker 1: do anything for it until a crank broke and then 562 00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:10,600 Speaker 1: they would replace it or they give me the money back. Bo. 563 00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:14,160 Speaker 1: I've never that now, I've never heard of that. You know, 564 00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:16,800 Speaker 1: there's only there's only one net Well, and I'm sure 565 00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:19,920 Speaker 1: there's others. There's one national engine builder that I'm familiar 566 00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:21,520 Speaker 1: with that we still see from time to time. We 567 00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:24,800 Speaker 1: don't see a lot of engine work, uh in the shop. Truthfully, 568 00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:26,120 Speaker 1: we just don't see a lot of engine work. I 569 00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:28,720 Speaker 1: think in North Jersey, I'm gonna say, and maybe I'm wrong, 570 00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:32,040 Speaker 1: but you know, in North Jersey, yeah, it's you know, 571 00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:35,280 Speaker 1: it's it's the days of rebuilding. Engines don't exist that 572 00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:38,680 Speaker 1: much here simply because everybody's more into g It's a 573 00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:41,640 Speaker 1: nine that's an old vehicle here. Um, I would fix 574 00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:43,280 Speaker 1: it if I needed it. I have no fault or 575 00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:45,400 Speaker 1: no problem in fixing it. But people are gonna be like, 576 00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:48,600 Speaker 1: I'll just go lease another. There's too much money around here. Um, 577 00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:51,040 Speaker 1: you know it's it's it's what drove the machine shops 578 00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:56,000 Speaker 1: out of business. But you know, you know Jasper, Jasper Engine, 579 00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:58,560 Speaker 1: you're you're here about him, you read about him. Um, 580 00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:00,880 Speaker 1: there's some guys talk good, there's them guys talk bad. 581 00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:02,960 Speaker 1: I will say that, Yeah, they do have they seem 582 00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:05,520 Speaker 1: to have their share of warranty issues, but they do 583 00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:10,040 Speaker 1: stand behind what they sell. So you know, it's we 584 00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:12,000 Speaker 1: know we're gonna have a problem, but we take care 585 00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:13,920 Speaker 1: of it. And that's you know, you can't ask for 586 00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:17,560 Speaker 1: more than that. Uh you know so I guess you 587 00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:19,560 Speaker 1: would be that the labor involved in how many re 588 00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:22,560 Speaker 1: switch it well, right, but you know there's no way 589 00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:24,800 Speaker 1: to see that. No, But you know what I think. 590 00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:27,960 Speaker 1: I think for example, at Jasper, Jasper will pay your 591 00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:34,080 Speaker 1: mechanic to do the warranty repairs. You're saying the name 592 00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:36,520 Speaker 1: of the company of Jasper j A s p R. Yes, 593 00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:38,920 Speaker 1: or is that the full name? That's the full name. 594 00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:42,040 Speaker 1: If you google Jasper, it will come up. All right, 595 00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:46,960 Speaker 1: so you're very welcome. You take good care. Um, yeah, 596 00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:49,800 Speaker 1: that's that's kind of where we're at. Let's uh so, anyway, 597 00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:51,280 Speaker 1: let's pull over, take a pause. I'm on the name 598 00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:52,719 Speaker 1: of the car doctor. I'll be back right after this. 599 00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:06,000 Speaker 1: Buck back on the end of the car documents. Going 600 00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:08,840 Speaker 1: to talk to Bob and Delaware Babo to Jeep Grand Cherokee. 601 00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:11,560 Speaker 1: How can I help you, sir, hi Rod, I just 602 00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:14,720 Speaker 1: wanted to say real fast I have this is the 603 00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:18,800 Speaker 1: second chest Per engine in my Cherokee. Yeah. Like I said, 604 00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:21,240 Speaker 1: they're not perfect, but they do stand behind it. Get 605 00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:24,960 Speaker 1: you know what happened. My my engine went so I 606 00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:29,040 Speaker 1: got a Jasper and I had to pay the mechanic 607 00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:33,880 Speaker 1: to put it in. Then that engine went in about 608 00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:36,960 Speaker 1: six or seven months and they shipped a new one 609 00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:40,640 Speaker 1: out to me and that one I didn't have to pay, 610 00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:44,480 Speaker 1: so and it's been going ever since. They do you know, 611 00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:46,600 Speaker 1: they do stand behind it. I give them that. They 612 00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:48,880 Speaker 1: just they But then again, you know, you think about 613 00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:52,040 Speaker 1: the size of you know, a national engine builder that's 614 00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:54,560 Speaker 1: still doing it. Um, you know, listen, I can tell 615 00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:57,280 Speaker 1: you stories about a local engine builder that's doing it 616 00:31:57,280 --> 00:32:00,080 Speaker 1: at the national level right around by us, right. A 617 00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:01,960 Speaker 1: friend of mine works there, and he says he's welding 618 00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:05,040 Speaker 1: together and making more junk work. He used to work 619 00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:07,000 Speaker 1: at another engine shop all right, where he was the 620 00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:09,560 Speaker 1: engine builder. And he says, Ronnie goes, you know, compared 621 00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:11,160 Speaker 1: to what I was at the other place, I'm welding 622 00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:13,440 Speaker 1: together things that we used to throw out at at 623 00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:16,040 Speaker 1: my first shop. So, you know, guys just don't do 624 00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:18,880 Speaker 1: it right anymore. It's just so at least transport to 625 00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:20,720 Speaker 1: their credit stands behind it real quickly before we were 626 00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:24,719 Speaker 1: out of time. I'll try your jeep. I'll be driving 627 00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:27,240 Speaker 1: the jeep. I go to put the blinkers on. I 628 00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:32,200 Speaker 1: have no blinkers. I have everything else, the horn, the lights, 629 00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:36,640 Speaker 1: the high beams, I got everything, no blinkers. I could 630 00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:40,840 Speaker 1: drive maybe twenty minutes and all of a sudden they 631 00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:44,000 Speaker 1: come on. Do they do they come on solid and 632 00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:47,280 Speaker 1: not blink, or they just don't come on. They just 633 00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:50,960 Speaker 1: don't come on. Okay, you know, you're aware. You're aware. 634 00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:54,000 Speaker 1: There's a you know, an old school flasher in this car. Right. 635 00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:57,320 Speaker 1: I read something about it. I read it's very hard 636 00:32:57,360 --> 00:32:59,640 Speaker 1: to get at it. You have to take the steering 637 00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:03,040 Speaker 1: column and covers off. Yeah, listen, I didn't say it 638 00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:06,400 Speaker 1: was gonna be easy. I'm sorry. Um, you know it's listen. 639 00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:08,920 Speaker 1: I've had that expression. That'll be me Monday morning at 640 00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:16,240 Speaker 1: you knew what this car. Listen, I'll tell you what 641 00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:18,160 Speaker 1: I was thinking about. I was thinking about my old 642 00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:21,400 Speaker 1: four suburban. Um. You know last year I went through. 643 00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:24,040 Speaker 1: We did a trans we did fuel line, break line, 644 00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:28,920 Speaker 1: water pump, radiator, a C condensed, I mean, and about 645 00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:34,440 Speaker 1: five months later it developed this and I was like, huh, 646 00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:36,640 Speaker 1: only when it's called out, only when it's less than 647 00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:40,760 Speaker 1: thirty degrees. I've been chasing it for four months because 648 00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:42,520 Speaker 1: I don't have a lot of time. Truthfully, I haven't 649 00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:45,160 Speaker 1: really driven it a lot. I've probably put five miles 650 00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:46,480 Speaker 1: on it in four months. Because they don't drive it 651 00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:48,640 Speaker 1: a lot. I'm driving to somebody else's car, you know, 652 00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:51,280 Speaker 1: around Bergen County with meters and dials and switches hanging 653 00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:53,960 Speaker 1: off of it, trying to builp out their car. Finally, 654 00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:56,680 Speaker 1: Friday night, I told Bobby carbon To Bob was there 655 00:33:56,680 --> 00:33:58,640 Speaker 1: closing up with me on Friday, said we're gonna fix 656 00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:01,000 Speaker 1: the suburban tonight. I know what it is. I had 657 00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:04,600 Speaker 1: changed the serpentine belt. The main surrup belt made no difference, right. 658 00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:08,000 Speaker 1: I took off the air conditioning belt, the little short, 659 00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:11,080 Speaker 1: stubby air conditioning belt. Never in a million years would 660 00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:12,800 Speaker 1: I have said that was the cause of the singing. 661 00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:17,640 Speaker 1: The problem is gone, you know, it's just and I 662 00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:19,359 Speaker 1: think about all the money I've put in that car, 663 00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:21,200 Speaker 1: and I just but you know, it's like it's still 664 00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:23,399 Speaker 1: cheaper than a new one, and I liked the car. Well, 665 00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:26,560 Speaker 1: this is my problem. I keep saying to my wife. 666 00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:30,920 Speaker 1: You know, it's either fixed it or a new cars 667 00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:35,120 Speaker 1: out right, you know, grand to get it. I would 668 00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:38,319 Speaker 1: never buy another Jeep. But to get a Jeep like that, 669 00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:45,120 Speaker 1: you're probably it's loaded. You're probably talking grand Oh, absolutely absolutely. 670 00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:46,680 Speaker 1: I'll tell you when you're gonna get the new car. 671 00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:51,439 Speaker 1: When when Mama says you're getting a new car, that's 672 00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:55,600 Speaker 1: it because you're the head of the family. But she's 673 00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:59,800 Speaker 1: the neck, alright, And if you're right, if if you 674 00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:01,640 Speaker 1: what if the neck tells you which way the head 675 00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:06,719 Speaker 1: to point, So that's just the way it works out. Yeah, 676 00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:10,640 Speaker 1: I would. So, you know, steering column covers torques or 677 00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:13,839 Speaker 1: Phillips heads from underneath the cover the kick plate up 678 00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:16,520 Speaker 1: against where your knees would be against the dashboard. That'll 679 00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:19,319 Speaker 1: come down split the covers. You may have to take 680 00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:21,000 Speaker 1: the tilt and wiggle it to get it to come 681 00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:23,319 Speaker 1: down a little bit. To get the clam shells off, 682 00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:27,160 Speaker 1: you'll see a square, rectangular flash or sitting up top um. 683 00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:29,760 Speaker 1: There's some procedures there to go through. You can diagnose 684 00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:32,080 Speaker 1: for voltage. You can flick it if they're not working, 685 00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:34,520 Speaker 1: see if it comes back to life. That flashes should 686 00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:36,520 Speaker 1: only be gotten from Chrysler. I've never found one in 687 00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:38,400 Speaker 1: the aftermarket that works. Let me know if you need 688 00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:40,720 Speaker 1: anything else. I'm running eating of the car doctor. Mechanics 689 00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:42,200 Speaker 1: aren't expensive, they're priceless.
