Um, he's shaking his head. 26 00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:34,720 Speaker 1: He's not really sure. Yeah, we we submitted that the iHeart. 27 00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:37,039 Speaker 1: I should point that out. There's been a problem at 28 00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:39,600 Speaker 1: I Heeart the last two weeks, a technical problem with 29 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,400 Speaker 1: the Car Doctor. Can you imagine that that they haven't 30 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:44,760 Speaker 1: updated the podcast list and they've been going out to 31 00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:47,200 Speaker 1: everybody else. So we think it's an iHeart problem.

You can loud download podcasts from our podcast page. 39 00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:08,680 Speaker 1: I gotta pick on a couple of things today before 40 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,000 Speaker 1: we kick off the show. Um, first of all, the 41 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,359 Speaker 1: man I don't want to pick on the one man 42 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:17,120 Speaker 1: who made it possible for today's show to actually happen. 43 00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:21,120 Speaker 1: Without whom we could not be here and be on time. 44 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:25,400 Speaker 1: And that is my my, my sidekick, my Gabby Haze 45 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:31,400 Speaker 1: to Roy Rogers, the one and only carpenter Boss. Oh wait, 46 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:34,040 Speaker 1: didn't tell you what he did yet. We were about 47 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:37,840 Speaker 1: we were about four minutes to air, and the favog 48 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,799 Speaker 1: died and Bob just happened to be in the next 49 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:44,320 Speaker 1: room we're doing. We're painting the studios here at corporate headquarters, 50 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:46,840 Speaker 1: and I had to take the paintbrush out of his 51 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:48,560 Speaker 1: hand and let him go find a screwdriver and a 52 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:50,520 Speaker 1: hammer and a nail, and da da da da da da, 53 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:53,160 Speaker 1: and he re hung a clock from another office. So 54 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:56,480 Speaker 1: we're now working on Sterling and Noble time, which appears 55 00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:58,960 Speaker 1: to be just as accurate as fog time. But this 56 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 1: one's battery operated. Have to see if it's strays off 57 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,600 Speaker 1: the time during the course of the next two hours. 58 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:05,560 Speaker 1: But that we thank carpenter Bob for his efforts today, 59 00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:08,520 Speaker 1: because without him, this radio show would have all the 60 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:11,160 Speaker 1: coordination of the radio of the railroads back in the 61 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:13,840 Speaker 1: een eighties when um, you know they had problems with 62 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 1: the trains, did you know that. By the way, that's 63 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,440 Speaker 1: a little known fact. Do you know why they standardized 64 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 1: clocks in time? Tom? No? Why did they standard standardized 65 00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,560 Speaker 1: clocks and time? True story, because I mean, I don't 66 00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:26,000 Speaker 1: know how this fits into the car doctor, but it's 67 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:27,840 Speaker 1: just a little piece of useless trivia I carry around 68 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:31,960 Speaker 1: in my head. The reason the the Continental Railroad was 69 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,960 Speaker 1: such a big deal to be built is because it 70 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,960 Speaker 1: allowed them to help establish and it was between the 71 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:43,640 Speaker 1: continental Railroads and establishing national time, so that the time 72 00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 1: on the West coast was equivalent to the time on 73 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:49,240 Speaker 1: the East Coast minus three hour difference because a couple 74 00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:51,480 Speaker 1: of seconds off or a minute off here and there. 75 00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 1: Railroads were killing people because the trains shared same tracks, 76 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:57,880 Speaker 1: and you'd have passenger trains and head on collisions. They 77 00:03:57,920 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 1: didn't get into the switching yards fast enough and all 78 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,760 Speaker 1: into things like that. A history professor explained it to 79 00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:04,560 Speaker 1: me many years ago, and I never forgot that. And 80 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 1: it makes sense, it does, you know. And that's why 81 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 1: you have the what is it the is it the 82 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 1: Naval Research Institute for Time or something and Naval Observatory. Yeah, 83 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:17,360 Speaker 1: and that's that's why time and and it all happened 84 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,640 Speaker 1: back in the late eighteen hundreds. Um, it was such 85 00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:22,640 Speaker 1: a big deal. Well, on a on a related note, 86 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,360 Speaker 1: many years ago, I went out to the Time station. 87 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:27,760 Speaker 1: Many people probably don't know there is a time radio 88 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,680 Speaker 1: station that's run by the US government out in Colorado, 89 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 1: w w V and w w VB all the time, 90 00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:39,440 Speaker 1: all the time. That's all they do is time. Really. Wow, Gee, Tom, 91 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:41,360 Speaker 1: thanks for joining in and helping today. And it's based 92 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:43,520 Speaker 1: on the US Master Clock. You're you're lonely in there today, 93 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:45,240 Speaker 1: aren't you. We should point out Tom's running the whole 94 00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:47,560 Speaker 1: show again today. Tony had a surprise as it from 95 00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:50,479 Speaker 1: his mom. We gave Tony the afternoon off, so anything 96 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,120 Speaker 1: for the moms, right, Well, actually I feel sorry for 97 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:54,920 Speaker 1: the mom with the case of Tony, but yeah, yeah, 98 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 1: well you know, so let me tell you about this though. 99 00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:00,160 Speaker 1: Now we've got the clock out of the way. Know 100 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,239 Speaker 1: we we received so many emails and we we gotta 101 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:05,680 Speaker 1: We got an email this week from someone who said 102 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 1: they were a former automotive engineer. And I don't want 103 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:09,200 Speaker 1: to talk to Ron on air because he tends to 104 00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:12,880 Speaker 1: pick on engineers. And I invented this, and I invented that, 105 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:14,600 Speaker 1: and Tom said, listen, why don't you go on the 106 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,279 Speaker 1: air and talk to run. I'm not gonna bite you. 107 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,800 Speaker 1: I'm not scary. I'm not gonna hurt anybody. But I 108 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:25,800 Speaker 1: want to know why. Okay, dodged Durrango came into the 109 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,520 Speaker 1: shop this week. I had to do spark plugs. It 110 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 1: was plugs and maintenance and some other work. So the engineer, 111 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:37,159 Speaker 1: because I assume it wasn't designed by the body department, 112 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 1: the engineer that came up with the design for the 113 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:43,360 Speaker 1: intake manifold, decided that the three spark plugs on the 114 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 1: right side were fairly accessible the three. The three spark 115 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:51,159 Speaker 1: plugs on the left side required taking off the upper 116 00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:55,160 Speaker 1: intake manifold. Now, the upper intake manifold is held on 117 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:59,200 Speaker 1: by seven screws, and I believe they were t fifteen torques, 118 00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:04,400 Speaker 1: and you can't really see the back three. You need 119 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:06,640 Speaker 1: a mirror and a flashlight in order to line your 120 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,440 Speaker 1: socket up. And I think it's there and I can 121 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:13,560 Speaker 1: deal with that. The thing I can't deal with is 122 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:18,200 Speaker 1: the screws holding down the fuel injector rail. The fuel 123 00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:22,920 Speaker 1: rail they used the same screws and the fact is 124 00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 1: that the screws are roughly an eighth of an inch 125 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 1: away from the intake manifold screws, So if you're not 126 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:34,279 Speaker 1: careful with the mirror and the flashlight bang, you're taking 127 00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:38,120 Speaker 1: out the wrong screw. Thank god I read the procedure. 128 00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:41,680 Speaker 1: Um it had been a while I needed a refresher. Yep, yeah, 129 00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:43,719 Speaker 1: I kind of remember this, But I thought to myself, 130 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 1: how dumb is this that they put and think about it. 131 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:50,360 Speaker 1: You take out the wrong screw, don't realize what you did. 132 00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:53,240 Speaker 1: You started up the fuel injectors, loose spray fuel all 133 00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:55,520 Speaker 1: over the place, so we have a couple of fire 134 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:59,040 Speaker 1: losses at the shop. What difference does it make? When 135 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:04,000 Speaker 1: Tom told me the story about the engineer today, I said, listen, 136 00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:07,159 Speaker 1: it's just about common sense. You know. I understand that 137 00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:10,800 Speaker 1: engineers are up against accountants and marketing, and they've got 138 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:12,640 Speaker 1: to make the car last longer, and they've got to 139 00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:14,840 Speaker 1: make it into the great wondrous product that they wanted 140 00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:17,840 Speaker 1: to be, and so on and so forth. How about this, 141 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:22,760 Speaker 1: Instead of putting two T fifteen torques bolts right next 142 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:26,520 Speaker 1: to each other, make one a T fifteen and make 143 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 1: the other a T fifteen tamper proof, you know, with 144 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 1: the little tits sticking up in the middle, so you 145 00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:35,520 Speaker 1: need to change the sockets that you realize it's different. 146 00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:39,560 Speaker 1: What would that cost? It can't cost that much, and 147 00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:41,600 Speaker 1: it's got to make the job that much easier for 148 00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:44,680 Speaker 1: the mechanic working on it. And if the engineers out 149 00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,680 Speaker 1: there listening, that's the stuff I'm talking about that makes 150 00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,920 Speaker 1: absolutely no sense to me. I don't understand why they 151 00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 1: do it then, and now I'm gonna beat up the 152 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:58,280 Speaker 1: engineer altogether. There are three hole down bolts on a 153 00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:01,880 Speaker 1: back bracket on the passengers side corner of the intake PLANEUM. 154 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:05,200 Speaker 1: There is a thirteen millimeter stud. There are two ten 155 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,520 Speaker 1: millimeter nuts. Now I knew somebody had been working on 156 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,440 Speaker 1: this car prior to my getting there, because one of 157 00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:13,560 Speaker 1: the ten millimeter nuts holding the bracket to the back 158 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:17,600 Speaker 1: of the intake manifold PLANEUM was missing. The other one 159 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:20,600 Speaker 1: was there, the one down bottom. I couldn't even get 160 00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:24,520 Speaker 1: off because they also attached a wire loom to the 161 00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:26,400 Speaker 1: top of the stud and they want you to detach 162 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:29,880 Speaker 1: the wire loom. It's a plastic Christmas tree. All my might, 163 00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:31,880 Speaker 1: I couldn't get this off. And I couldn't pry on 164 00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:35,040 Speaker 1: it because it's a main wiring harness, and we we 165 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:37,600 Speaker 1: know what how delicate wiring harnesses are today. I've seen 166 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,840 Speaker 1: the problems with Chrysler's and wiring harness issues that I 167 00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:43,520 Speaker 1: had to undo the one tent and finagal the intake 168 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:45,680 Speaker 1: planeum off to the right and kind of sneak it 169 00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:51,040 Speaker 1: out the other side. Listen, I get it that engineers 170 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:52,800 Speaker 1: have a tough job. I get it that they're up 171 00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:56,000 Speaker 1: against marketing and accounting and and and and designs and 172 00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:59,280 Speaker 1: so on and so forth. But like a lot of 173 00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:01,520 Speaker 1: the insane of the we see around us in day 174 00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 1: to day life, there's no common sense. There's no logic, 175 00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:08,520 Speaker 1: and that's what I get on a rant about. But 176 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:10,920 Speaker 1: if you're an engineer and you want to talk about it, 177 00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:15,679 Speaker 1: a kinder, peaceful, calmer ron and Indian will be here 178 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:18,320 Speaker 1: to talk to you about it. I absolutely wish we 179 00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:20,439 Speaker 1: had an engineer to talk to because I think it's 180 00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:23,520 Speaker 1: important that we can sit down and exchange these ideas. 181 00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,000 Speaker 1: I've never sat in a consulting meeting where somebody didn't 182 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,440 Speaker 1: walk out and say, hey, you know what, I learned something, 183 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:30,840 Speaker 1: And I don't walk out without saying I learned something. 184 00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:34,080 Speaker 1: But the point is you can't keep designing stuff like 185 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,400 Speaker 1: this and expect people to be able to work on 186 00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:40,560 Speaker 1: it and not talk about it and complain about it. 187 00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:45,280 Speaker 1: So let's get together a five nine zero. By the way, 188 00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:48,199 Speaker 1: the six bark plugs came out, you have to see 189 00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:50,120 Speaker 1: how long the threads were. And I get it that 190 00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:52,320 Speaker 1: it's it's a it's a design probably for emissions and 191 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:54,760 Speaker 1: fuel economy and performance. But I bet you the threat 192 00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:56,719 Speaker 1: on that spark plug was every bit of an inch 193 00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:59,280 Speaker 1: and a quarter inch and a half long. Crazy stuff 194 00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:02,440 Speaker 1: we're seeing today, folks. Thank god the spark plug intervals 195 00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:04,480 Speaker 1: are you know, a hundred, a hundred and ten thousand 196 00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:08,120 Speaker 1: miles before they have to be changed. Eight zero nine zero. 197 00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:10,439 Speaker 1: The phones are lit. Let's pull over and take the pause. 198 00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:12,360 Speaker 1: The car Doctor will return and kick the garage doors 199 00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:15,120 Speaker 1: open right after this. Don't go away, no maybe they 200 00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:44,400 Speaker 1: they they? Ron, and Hey, welcome back, ran Annie in 201 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:47,440 Speaker 1: the card Doctor. Five five zero nine zero zero. Let's 202 00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:49,320 Speaker 1: kick the garage doors open and go over and talk 203 00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:51,920 Speaker 1: to Lauren and South Carolina. Lauren, welcome to the Car Doctor. 204 00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,760 Speaker 1: How can I help? Hey? Ron, thanks for taking my call. 205 00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:57,880 Speaker 1: You're welcome, thanks for being there. I was calling because 206 00:10:57,920 --> 00:10:59,920 Speaker 1: I was listening to a recent show of yours where 207 00:10:59,920 --> 00:11:03,240 Speaker 1: you said you change your synthetic oil every four thousand miles. 208 00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:08,400 Speaker 1: And I have a two thousand and ten Lexus Sitan 209 00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:12,000 Speaker 1: and I was usually getting it the oil changed every 210 00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:13,719 Speaker 1: five thousand miles, and I was taking it to the 211 00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:17,839 Speaker 1: Lexus dealership where I'm originally from. But I moved about 212 00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:20,760 Speaker 1: two years ago to South Carolina and there's no Lexus 213 00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,400 Speaker 1: dealership here. There's a Toyota dealership though, and so the 214 00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:25,680 Speaker 1: last time I took it to get the oil changed, 215 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:29,360 Speaker 1: the technician told me that synthetic oil doesn't need to 216 00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:32,160 Speaker 1: be changed every five thousand miles. It can go up 217 00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:34,599 Speaker 1: to ten thousand. So he just reset the computer for 218 00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:37,640 Speaker 1: me and I went on my merry way. And after 219 00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:40,079 Speaker 1: listening to your recent show, I wondered if that was 220 00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:41,959 Speaker 1: the right thing to do. You know, Lauren, it's a 221 00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:45,760 Speaker 1: it's a great conversation to have. I my first concern, 222 00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:49,000 Speaker 1: I've to alright, I have three um. First of all, 223 00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:52,920 Speaker 1: I think to a large degree that and I'm gonna 224 00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:54,960 Speaker 1: I'm gonna, I'm gonna base it on this forty three 225 00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,000 Speaker 1: years of repairing cars, and what I see in the shop, 226 00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:59,040 Speaker 1: I still turn wrenches every day. There's only two guys 227 00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:01,320 Speaker 1: in the building, myself and Danny, and we do all 228 00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:04,400 Speaker 1: the work. You know what I see every day and 229 00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:06,560 Speaker 1: have seen up to this point, I think ten thousand 230 00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:10,240 Speaker 1: miles is a ridiculous oil change interval. I don't see 231 00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:14,199 Speaker 1: cars going that length of time. As a matter of fact, 232 00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:16,719 Speaker 1: I can't say that I've read this in lexus, but 233 00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:20,120 Speaker 1: there are quite a few vehicle manufacturers out there. If 234 00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:22,800 Speaker 1: you read the owner's manual, they will tell you after 235 00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:26,080 Speaker 1: four thousand miles, three thousand miles, something like that, start 236 00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:29,319 Speaker 1: checking the oil once a month until you change it. 237 00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:31,480 Speaker 1: And I can't help but think to myself, Ge, we 238 00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:33,800 Speaker 1: turned back the clock to nineteen sixty four. I remember 239 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,480 Speaker 1: going on family vacations with my dad and the in 240 00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:39,400 Speaker 1: the family mercury and you know, every gas station Dad 241 00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:42,440 Speaker 1: checked the oil because cars went through oil back then. 242 00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:44,760 Speaker 1: And are we becoming that again? Is it? Is it 243 00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:47,520 Speaker 1: time to go back to that? But the bigger issue 244 00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:51,240 Speaker 1: I have is, to my knowledge, there aren't a lot 245 00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:55,920 Speaker 1: of ten thousand mile oil filters in the marketplace. And 246 00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:59,599 Speaker 1: when I talked to oil filter manufacturers. They're starting to 247 00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:02,840 Speaker 1: come on board. Wicks is starting to create some higher 248 00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:05,640 Speaker 1: mile of oil filters. Can I say for certain that 249 00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:09,079 Speaker 1: that one Toyota is using is rated for ten thousand miles? No, 250 00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:12,600 Speaker 1: and I don't think that it is. I unless they 251 00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:14,720 Speaker 1: showed you and said, yeah, this is a a filter 252 00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:20,480 Speaker 1: rated for ten thousand miles. Filter manufacturers, as of a 253 00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:24,320 Speaker 1: year ago, we're still telling us here on the show, 254 00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:27,520 Speaker 1: here and in the shop that the majority of oil 255 00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:30,360 Speaker 1: filters in the marketplace are really only good for seven 256 00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:32,719 Speaker 1: to eight thousand miles, and at that point they go 257 00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:36,920 Speaker 1: into bypass. So unless they're putting on a ten thousand 258 00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:41,240 Speaker 1: mile filter, I've got an issue with that. Last my 259 00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:45,839 Speaker 1: daughter has a team four to escape synthetic oil. A 260 00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:49,160 Speaker 1: little two leader works really hard. Um they they they 261 00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:51,520 Speaker 1: we put synthetic in it. We call we always use 262 00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:54,760 Speaker 1: a better grade of oil, and so on. I've drained 263 00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:56,800 Speaker 1: the oil at four thousand miles, I've drained the oil 264 00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:59,800 Speaker 1: at five thousand miles. At four thousand miles, that oil 265 00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:04,120 Speaker 1: comes out black and beat. It really looks horrible. And okay, 266 00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:05,880 Speaker 1: I guess I could send it out to a lab 267 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,640 Speaker 1: and and and and have it tested, and they could 268 00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:10,760 Speaker 1: tell me what chemical properties are in it and go 269 00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:13,839 Speaker 1: through the drill. But my experience has been when I 270 00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:16,079 Speaker 1: can't rub it between my thumb and fore finger and 271 00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:19,200 Speaker 1: feel any lubricity to it, there's no you know, there's 272 00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:22,000 Speaker 1: no suppleness to it. It feels like a flat pancake. 273 00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:25,240 Speaker 1: That's that's not a good sign that oil is really 274 00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:27,640 Speaker 1: working hard. And I think a lot of these little 275 00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:30,640 Speaker 1: engines today are working really hard to propel these cars 276 00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:33,480 Speaker 1: and get the fuel economy and the performance that they're getting. 277 00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:37,520 Speaker 1: That being said, where would I change the oil if 278 00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:40,840 Speaker 1: I owned the hybrid? Okay, I would go back to 279 00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:43,520 Speaker 1: a five and six thousand mile interval. I wouldn't do 280 00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:46,160 Speaker 1: a ten thousand mile interval. And I would do it 281 00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:49,200 Speaker 1: for all the reasons I cited you, and I would 282 00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:51,920 Speaker 1: also do it for the fact that the cars, how 283 00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:57,200 Speaker 1: many miles are on it just under Okay, so you've 284 00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:00,200 Speaker 1: kind of got a little old man that years old. 285 00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:03,800 Speaker 1: Is now the time you're gonna stop looking at it? 286 00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:06,520 Speaker 1: You know? And that's the other factor. The car six 287 00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:09,680 Speaker 1: going on seven years old, isn't it time to find? 288 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:11,440 Speaker 1: You know? If you have one cook in the kitchen, 289 00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:14,440 Speaker 1: isn't it sort of you make the case for you know, 290 00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:17,360 Speaker 1: if he sees that car three times a year or 291 00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:21,320 Speaker 1: two times a year instead of once a year. Otherwise, 292 00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:23,000 Speaker 1: how do you service and know what kind of shaped 293 00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:25,080 Speaker 1: the cars? And unless you're gonna start scheduling the car 294 00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:29,440 Speaker 1: to go in for physical lookovers at that point. And 295 00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:31,800 Speaker 1: and this is my biggest argument. So let's say you 296 00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:33,800 Speaker 1: do an oil change every ten thousand miles and that 297 00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:35,720 Speaker 1: comes out to be roughly once a year. Let's say 298 00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:38,720 Speaker 1: you're a ten twelve thousand mile a year person. That 299 00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:43,200 Speaker 1: means theoretically, would you feel comfortable going a whole year 300 00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:46,880 Speaker 1: without anybody looking under the hood and checking fluids? No, 301 00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:49,920 Speaker 1: because I haven't had any issues with this car, and 302 00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:52,160 Speaker 1: that's why I wanted to call, because I don't want to. 303 00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:54,160 Speaker 1: I don't want to start having issues because I'm not 304 00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:56,720 Speaker 1: doing the things that should be. So, so do you 305 00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:59,240 Speaker 1: think you would feel good if somebody looked under the 306 00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:03,800 Speaker 1: hood every six months, every four months? Probably probably every 307 00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:08,040 Speaker 1: four months, right, yeah, definite, which is probably you know, 308 00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:10,160 Speaker 1: you're probably doing a little bit more miles than ten 309 00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:12,600 Speaker 1: thousand a year, so it actually comes out to if 310 00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:15,400 Speaker 1: you're doing an oil change every five six thousand miles 311 00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:18,480 Speaker 1: every four or five months. That's a pretty good number 312 00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:20,320 Speaker 1: and a pretty good interval for somebody to be under 313 00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:23,320 Speaker 1: the hood. Otherwise you're gonna take it into the mechanic. 314 00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:26,280 Speaker 1: And because you were smart enough to call the car doctor, 315 00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:27,920 Speaker 1: I know you're smart enough to know the value of 316 00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:30,920 Speaker 1: time that you're gonna say to the mechanic. Listen, spend 317 00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:32,880 Speaker 1: a half hour check the car out, right, I mean, 318 00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:35,640 Speaker 1: is that a reasonable statement? So do you want to 319 00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:37,960 Speaker 1: spend fifty dollars to have the guy check it out? 320 00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:39,280 Speaker 1: Or do you want to spend eighty dollars to have 321 00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:40,720 Speaker 1: a guy changed the oil and check it out at 322 00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:46,080 Speaker 1: the same time. Yeah? Um, you know it's it's I 323 00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:50,760 Speaker 1: can't express it enough, Lauren, that every time I see, 324 00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:54,400 Speaker 1: let's make this longer, and this longer and do this less, 325 00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:57,520 Speaker 1: it always come back to bite us.

Well, 371 00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:23,480 Speaker 1: I gott have you got out of your priorities, Bob? 372 00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:26,840 Speaker 1: I guess yeah, yeah, Well a bathroom remodeling kept me home. 373 00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:31,159 Speaker 1: Uh yeah. I I mun the original owner about two 374 00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:34,240 Speaker 1: thousand and four Ford F one f x four with 375 00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:38,959 Speaker 1: the five point four leader engine and uh to make 376 00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:41,080 Speaker 1: a long story short, you know, I have always uh 377 00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:46,760 Speaker 1: um maintained it as per recommended UH manual instructions and 378 00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:50,400 Speaker 1: as well as the dealership. But a couple of years ago, 379 00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:52,440 Speaker 1: you know, I hit the mark to get the spark 380 00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:55,439 Speaker 1: plugs replaced. I took it to the dealer and they 381 00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:57,439 Speaker 1: gave me a big story that, you know, they might 382 00:19:57,480 --> 00:19:59,960 Speaker 1: break the spark plug. They don't guarantee anything, and it's 383 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,840 Speaker 1: it cost me, on top of the labor in parts 384 00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:05,040 Speaker 1: at least eight hundreds or nine hundred dollars. They were 385 00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:07,600 Speaker 1: going to attack onto the bill and that kind of 386 00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:09,680 Speaker 1: scared me away, and that really the truck was running 387 00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:12,119 Speaker 1: to us fine, and I elected not to do it. 388 00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:14,600 Speaker 1: A couple of weeks ago, I get a card from Ford. 389 00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:16,600 Speaker 1: Now I'm not about a hundred and forty two thousand 390 00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:19,440 Speaker 1: miles now, and uh, I get a card saying that 391 00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:24,160 Speaker 1: Ford lost the case class action suit and they're giving 392 00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:27,760 Speaker 1: us some kind of a rebate or some kind of uh, 393 00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:31,480 Speaker 1: I guess cash back to get the spark cards or 394 00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:34,399 Speaker 1: if you had this parklass replaced. The problem is I 395 00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:38,080 Speaker 1: exceeded it by about twenty thousand miles with their limits. 396 00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:40,800 Speaker 1: So now I'm at a point where the truck running flying, 397 00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:43,600 Speaker 1: but I'm out a hundred and forty two thousand miles. 398 00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:45,080 Speaker 1: I'm trying to make you know, I'm at a fork 399 00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:47,479 Speaker 1: at the road. You know, kind of do I replace 400 00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:50,080 Speaker 1: this parklest do I go through the hasshold the risk? 401 00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:55,239 Speaker 1: Obviously Ford is not gonna cover anything at this point. Uh. 402 00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:58,159 Speaker 1: You know they've almost like worked it that way that 403 00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:02,159 Speaker 1: I went beyond the the mileage. Uh you know, but 404 00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:05,080 Speaker 1: well here I hang out a second. George, never never negotia. 405 00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:08,600 Speaker 1: Never negotiate with yourself, all right, Um, you know that's 406 00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:11,440 Speaker 1: the that's the first lesson in business. Never negotiate with yourself. 407 00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:14,359 Speaker 1: See what the other guy has to offer. So you know, 408 00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:18,520 Speaker 1: that being said, my questions are what kind of shape 409 00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:20,200 Speaker 1: is the rest of the truck in? Are you planning 410 00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:22,640 Speaker 1: to keep it another ten years? Five years? Two years, 411 00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:26,440 Speaker 1: one week tomorrow. You know, what's what's your time frame 412 00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:29,720 Speaker 1: in your head? Regardless of what the spark plugs are about. 413 00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:31,119 Speaker 1: You know what kind of shape is the rest of 414 00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:33,600 Speaker 1: the truck in I would think after twelve winters up 415 00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:37,359 Speaker 1: in Maine, knowing knowing the salt and the corrosion and 416 00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:39,640 Speaker 1: the rust issues that they get created up there after 417 00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:42,040 Speaker 1: the winter. Um, you know what is the undercarriage of 418 00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:45,560 Speaker 1: this truck? Look like, yeah, well here here's the thing. Um. 419 00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:48,600 Speaker 1: You know that the truck is original Florida truck and 420 00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:51,320 Speaker 1: it spends the winner is actually not in Maine. So 421 00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:54,919 Speaker 1: as far as the condition of the truck, I've had 422 00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:57,200 Speaker 1: the dealership try to buy it off every time I 423 00:21:57,280 --> 00:21:59,000 Speaker 1: come in and show me the nice, brand new truck, 424 00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:02,159 Speaker 1: and I plan to keep it, uh, you know as 425 00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:05,479 Speaker 1: long as I can. That probably, if anything, will become 426 00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:10,360 Speaker 1: my sort of my outdoor recreational vehicle, because like I said, 427 00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:13,919 Speaker 1: I've maintained it top form and always even when beyond 428 00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:16,520 Speaker 1: in some cases. You know, I overheard the other caller 429 00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:19,159 Speaker 1: about the oil change. I always changed the oil on 430 00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:23,840 Speaker 1: or before the time frame, and in fact it's basically 431 00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:27,720 Speaker 1: based in more mileage than than time. Right. Uh, you know, 432 00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:29,960 Speaker 1: so as far as the truck, the truck's running great. 433 00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:33,320 Speaker 1: You know, I don't I don't see any significant loss 434 00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:37,560 Speaker 1: in in mileage. Change the spark plugs, efficiency or anything 435 00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:41,000 Speaker 1: like that. Change change the spark plugs. Here's why you're 436 00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:44,480 Speaker 1: you're you're you're not gonna see any loss in efficiency 437 00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:47,760 Speaker 1: from the seat of your pants. But but what's going 438 00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:51,840 Speaker 1: to feel the effect and the loss of efficiency is 439 00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:55,159 Speaker 1: the way the vehicle runs at the let's call it 440 00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:58,200 Speaker 1: the atomic level um the way the way the mixture 441 00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:01,040 Speaker 1: goes out the tailpipe with the catalytic verders are going through. 442 00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:04,880 Speaker 1: What what sort of carbon deposits are increasingly being created 443 00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:07,720 Speaker 1: in the cylinders from in complete combustion from poor spark plugs. 444 00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:10,000 Speaker 1: You know it all, it all tends to snowball and 445 00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:14,040 Speaker 1: build up. And you know, there's a reason they call 446 00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:18,639 Speaker 1: for plugs at a designated mileage interval. And I honestly 447 00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:20,080 Speaker 1: I got a call it like I see it, George, 448 00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:22,600 Speaker 1: just because these are tough to get out. And you 449 00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:24,560 Speaker 1: know at the time you didn't want to spend the money. 450 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:27,080 Speaker 1: You can't use that as the excuse, you know what, 451 00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:30,159 Speaker 1: I don't need spark plugs the trucks running. Okay. You 452 00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:32,600 Speaker 1: know that's like me saying I'm sixty years old and 453 00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:34,840 Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna take up smoking, but I don't 454 00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:37,159 Speaker 1: have to worry. We're worrying about the effects of it 455 00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:39,080 Speaker 1: on my health because I'm sixty and I'm in good health. 456 00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:42,200 Speaker 1: You know, who cares what happens tomorrow. You know, it's 457 00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:46,520 Speaker 1: you don't start having irrational behavior at the point after 458 00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:48,960 Speaker 1: you realize you could be creating a problem somewhere else 459 00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:50,640 Speaker 1: down the point. I guess it's my point, and maybe 460 00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:53,240 Speaker 1: I'm doing a bad job of explaining it. No, I 461 00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:55,440 Speaker 1: got you. And again I was kind of leading that way. 462 00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:58,200 Speaker 1: Like I said, it really wasn't even at this point. 463 00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:00,879 Speaker 1: It's a it's a mood situation with Ford trying to 464 00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:05,680 Speaker 1: give me money. Now, you know, I would still have 465 00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:09,080 Speaker 1: the conversation with Ford. I would still go in there 466 00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:10,920 Speaker 1: and you know, bang on the drum about I bought 467 00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:14,080 Speaker 1: a Ford product. You guys have a problem. You scared 468 00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:15,960 Speaker 1: the Jesus Oude of me getting get me out of 469 00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:18,159 Speaker 1: here two years ago and now here I am, uh, 470 00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:20,640 Speaker 1: you know, can we do something? Can you do something 471 00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:24,240 Speaker 1: for me? The numbers I'm hearing at the national level. 472 00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:27,280 Speaker 1: I'm hearing stories from four dealers that the cost of 473 00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:30,480 Speaker 1: spark plug replacement on this particular motor and this is 474 00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:33,280 Speaker 1: the this is the four six or the five four, 475 00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:38,760 Speaker 1: this is the three valve motor? Is what this? Right? Uh? 476 00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:40,920 Speaker 1: This is a five four three valve. You know, I'm 477 00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:44,399 Speaker 1: hearing dollars in the amount of somewhere between eight hundred 478 00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:48,600 Speaker 1: and thousand bucks. All right. You know, Now I read 479 00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:51,080 Speaker 1: things online at some of the mechanics forums that I 480 00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:54,240 Speaker 1: that I watch, and you know, believe it or not, 481 00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:57,200 Speaker 1: what some guys talk about is the easiest way to 482 00:24:57,280 --> 00:25:01,680 Speaker 1: do these plugs is cold with a three eights impact gun, 483 00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:04,040 Speaker 1: and they're pulling them right out of the heads. I 484 00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:06,320 Speaker 1: haven't seen that work every time I try. Every time 485 00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:07,960 Speaker 1: I try that, every time I do one, the plug 486 00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:09,240 Speaker 1: breaks off in the head and I gotta get out 487 00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:12,600 Speaker 1: the special tool and go through the drama. So you know, 488 00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:14,359 Speaker 1: they are they are a little bit of a nightmare 489 00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:17,159 Speaker 1: to do. Haven't had the experience yet of having to 490 00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:22,119 Speaker 1: pull ahead um, which can happen too, and Ford should 491 00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:24,040 Speaker 1: make you aware of that. That's the reason they're getting 492 00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:27,480 Speaker 1: money up front, because they're preparing you for when you say, 493 00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:29,040 Speaker 1: g I don't want to fix it, you know, and 494 00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:31,320 Speaker 1: they're gonna tell you, well, you know, driving a seven 495 00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:33,400 Speaker 1: cylinder and that doesn't work too well unless you pull 496 00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:35,959 Speaker 1: the head. It gives them, you know, it puts them 497 00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:39,600 Speaker 1: in the power, the seed of power. So I think 498 00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:41,800 Speaker 1: it's back to the Ford dealer. It's what's your best 499 00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:43,720 Speaker 1: guest for an estimate, and you bite the bullet and 500 00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:47,800 Speaker 1: you get them done, all right. Now. Also keep in 501 00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:50,400 Speaker 1: mind that there are a couple of spark plug manufacturers 502 00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:53,040 Speaker 1: out there that have gotten away from the two piece 503 00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:56,159 Speaker 1: spark plug design, which is what these are. And I 504 00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:58,399 Speaker 1: believe one of them is Champion, and I think the 505 00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:01,919 Speaker 1: other one is auto Light. I am not I am 506 00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:04,960 Speaker 1: not only present certain that Motorcraft has one as of yet, 507 00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:07,320 Speaker 1: but I would not be surprised because Ford realizes what 508 00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:10,199 Speaker 1: a problem these plugs are. Yeah, I looked that up. 509 00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:12,800 Speaker 1: I only call the brand. I believe it was probably Champion. 510 00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:16,720 Speaker 1: I saw some article about using the one piece versus 511 00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:20,399 Speaker 1: theft problem one and then if if you want, if 512 00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:21,800 Speaker 1: you can get your hands on it and you want 513 00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:25,440 Speaker 1: to read it, there's a sixteen page bulletin uh all 514 00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:29,600 Speaker 1: about this from Ford bulletin number eight dash seven dash 515 00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:37,359 Speaker 1: six that gives specific spark plug removal instructions and oh, 516 00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:42,040 Speaker 1: eight dash seven dash six seven dash six, all right, 517 00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:44,160 Speaker 1: I kind of I kind of like every time I'm 518 00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:46,880 Speaker 1: in a dealership doing something, I always I'm always amused 519 00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:48,680 Speaker 1: by the customer that walks in with the bullet in 520 00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:52,000 Speaker 1: in my hand and says, look, you've got a problem. 521 00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:56,200 Speaker 1: You know, well, no, I I think knowledge is power, 522 00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:58,119 Speaker 1: and I think it's I think it's very effective. I 523 00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:01,440 Speaker 1: think um standing there especially. You know, I always tell 524 00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:03,520 Speaker 1: somebody if you're gonna make a scene or you want 525 00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:05,560 Speaker 1: to go in and you know, make a subtle scene, 526 00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:08,280 Speaker 1: you always go in to complain either between the hours 527 00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:10,240 Speaker 1: of eight and nine in the morning or four and 528 00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:13,680 Speaker 1: five in the afternoon, because that's when the crowds the 529 00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:16,000 Speaker 1: largest and people are either dropping off their cars or 530 00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:19,080 Speaker 1: picking up their cars, and nothing clears, nothing clears and 531 00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:21,639 Speaker 1: solves the problem faster than the guy going I'm losing 532 00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:24,240 Speaker 1: ground here. I better make this guy happy, because I'm 533 00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:26,639 Speaker 1: gonna have people watch this show. People are very in 534 00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:29,240 Speaker 1: tune to how people are treated in an order repair facility, 535 00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:33,560 Speaker 1: and it's very important. So all right, sir, all right, 536 00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:38,280 Speaker 1: after the hunting season. After the hunting season, he had 537 00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:40,520 Speaker 1: the bathroom work done. I appreciate it. George. You take 538 00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:42,600 Speaker 1: good care of the rist of the weekend. Thank you, 539 00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:47,040 Speaker 1: Thank you you too, George. Happy Thanksgiving to you and 540 00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:50,440 Speaker 1: yours up that way. Five zero nine zero zero. The 541 00:27:50,440 --> 00:28:05,440 Speaker 1: car doctors coming back. Don't go away. I ain't ever 542 00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:20,720 Speaker 1: being with the woman MoMA noo, the car doctor again. 543 00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:29,199 Speaker 1: Time for day. Hey, welcome pack Ron meeting the car 544 00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:32,800 Speaker 1: doctor special shouting hello to our special studio guest. In 545 00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:38,040 Speaker 1: studio guest. And she there, Yeah, she's there. Wave little lady, Hello, 546 00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:40,960 Speaker 1: Wave you're on the air. Smile. There she is. She's waving. 547 00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:43,600 Speaker 1: Mom's here with us today in studio. And she looks 548 00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:47,480 Speaker 1: great sitting there. She's recovering from telling me stories about you, Embloyer. 549 00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:49,440 Speaker 1: You in trouble. Well, let me tell you she knows 550 00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:52,640 Speaker 1: all the stories too. Uh but you know that's can 551 00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:58,360 Speaker 1: mom say hello? Is that mom yelled hello? Hello? There 552 00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:01,040 Speaker 1: you go. Mom's mom's waving saying load everybody, Yeah, there 553 00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:02,880 Speaker 1: you go. Look, twenty six years, I finally got you 554 00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:08,040 Speaker 1: on radio with me. He's twenty six years. He's finally 555 00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:11,840 Speaker 1: got you on the air. Ye true, yeah, there you go. 556 00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:15,080 Speaker 1: So ye, well you're just I just love your smoothness. 557 00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:18,360 Speaker 1: That's thank god I inherit that chain from you. Okay, 558 00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:20,600 Speaker 1: let's get over and talk to Matt Columbus, Ohio. Ninety 559 00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:23,520 Speaker 1: four Buick Roadmaster, Love you mom, and see what's going 560 00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:25,360 Speaker 1: on here, Matthew? How can I help running any of 561 00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:28,600 Speaker 1: the car? Docorate your service? Hey, Ron, thanks for taking 562 00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:32,640 Speaker 1: my love the show man. You welcome in. What's going on? Uh? Okay? 563 00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:36,720 Speaker 1: Uh ninety four Buick Roadmaster. I have a check engine 564 00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:38,720 Speaker 1: light that kind of comes on whenever it wants to. 565 00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:42,400 Speaker 1: And I found out through the climate control you can 566 00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:44,800 Speaker 1: find a trouble codes. What number they are? Found out 567 00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:48,600 Speaker 1: it's a crank sensor code and these crank censor, two 568 00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:51,000 Speaker 1: of them. They were both changed about a year ago. 569 00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:54,360 Speaker 1: I changed him about a year ago because I had 570 00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:57,640 Speaker 1: to drain the whole block because the was mummy water 571 00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:00,520 Speaker 1: looking what what what? What? What? What? What number of 572 00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:05,120 Speaker 1: code is that? Matt? Yeah, that's a that's a knock sensor. 573 00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:10,239 Speaker 1: Yeah sorry, that's okay, Yeah, that's okay. Yeah, forty three 574 00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:15,800 Speaker 1: is a knock sensor. Um, so go ahead. Yeah. So Um, 575 00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:18,680 Speaker 1: I had to train, I had to take and I 576 00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:22,160 Speaker 1: replaced them and uh, and I torked them back down 577 00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:28,480 Speaker 1: to fifteen foot pounds like with inspect fifty UM that 578 00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:31,880 Speaker 1: it's about a year later now, and they the check 579 00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:33,880 Speaker 1: engine life is kind of coming on there. Middle. It's 580 00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:37,720 Speaker 1: just that one code, right, let me ask you this. 581 00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:41,320 Speaker 1: Let's let's let's diagnose it like this, all right? If 582 00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:46,280 Speaker 1: if you disconnect both sensors and and by the way, 583 00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:48,600 Speaker 1: isn't this an engineering marvel? How they buried the knock 584 00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:52,800 Speaker 1: censor down under the exhaust manifolds. That's that's that's where 585 00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:56,000 Speaker 1: I put them. But I can't pick on engineers because yeah, 586 00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:58,360 Speaker 1: I don't want to upset any engineers in this world, 587 00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:03,080 Speaker 1: because I just whatever, UM disconnect the knock sensor. You 588 00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:05,680 Speaker 1: should have five vaults keyon, engine off. There should be 589 00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:10,880 Speaker 1: five vaults on those wires, all right. The way that works, 590 00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:14,320 Speaker 1: the College word is that's a p z O electric sensors. 591 00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:17,360 Speaker 1: This generates its own signal and it's it's it's listening. 592 00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:20,760 Speaker 1: It's an audible ear that's listening to the sounds inside 593 00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:23,960 Speaker 1: the engine. And if it hears knock in the form 594 00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:29,240 Speaker 1: of UM engine full or um uh timing like spark knock, 595 00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:31,880 Speaker 1: and you know timing over advanced in an older car 596 00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:36,160 Speaker 1: or cheap gas or carbon deposits, sometimes internal engine mechanical 597 00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:39,280 Speaker 1: noise knocking and so on. Um it will trigger its 598 00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:42,560 Speaker 1: own voltage signal using that five volt signal supplied by 599 00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:45,680 Speaker 1: the PCM andvariate and create a signal. Now, what the 600 00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:49,000 Speaker 1: forty three says is the forty three says that it's 601 00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:52,120 Speaker 1: a circuit fault or it's receiving a signal at an 602 00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:57,320 Speaker 1: incorrect time. So you know, the question now is what's 603 00:31:57,320 --> 00:32:00,360 Speaker 1: wrong with the circuit disconnected? Both knock sensors put a 604 00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:02,840 Speaker 1: five voltmeter on each wire. You should have five vaults. 605 00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:05,560 Speaker 1: If you don't have five vaults, then you've got to 606 00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:09,120 Speaker 1: check that wire or wires back to the PCM to 607 00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:12,240 Speaker 1: see if they're open or if there's a problem with 608 00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:16,800 Speaker 1: the harness. All right, now, what I have seen. What 609 00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:19,680 Speaker 1: I have seen is I have seen because of where 610 00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:23,720 Speaker 1: those harnesses are located, I have seen those harnesses start 611 00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:27,880 Speaker 1: to have higher resistance and that creates an issue. And 612 00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:32,560 Speaker 1: I've also seen those sensors themselves. Depending upon the quality 613 00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:34,880 Speaker 1: of them and how well they're connected, you should see 614 00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:43,360 Speaker 1: about four thousand omens resistance across those sensors. Okay, all right, Ron, 615 00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:46,960 Speaker 1: do you think it's possible that uh, since that the 616 00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:50,200 Speaker 1: cooling was really disgusting when I drained it out, is 617 00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:53,200 Speaker 1: it possible? Is that could kind of clogged on the 618 00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:55,400 Speaker 1: other side of it, like the block of it, and 619 00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:58,400 Speaker 1: cause any problems? Well? Can you can you take up um? 620 00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:02,680 Speaker 1: Not likely? I mean, listen, it depends on how badly 621 00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:05,440 Speaker 1: it's corroded. You know. Why don't we try this. Let's 622 00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:08,040 Speaker 1: let's go through testing the wires first, like I'm talking, 623 00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:11,160 Speaker 1: and the last thing is what the sensors connected. You 624 00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:14,040 Speaker 1: should see that volts voltage signal dropped to about a 625 00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:17,400 Speaker 1: vault and a half. Let's do that. So let's do this. 626 00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:20,280 Speaker 1: Let's call this a functional test. Let's go through this 627 00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:23,440 Speaker 1: first and when you when you come up with those 628 00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:25,400 Speaker 1: exact numbers and it's work, then we'll talk a little 629 00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:29,920 Speaker 1: bit further about possibilities with cooling. Is that a deal? Yeah, okay, 630 00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:31,240 Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. Stay on the phone. I know 631 00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:32,880 Speaker 1: you got one more part to your question. Matt. The 632 00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:34,880 Speaker 1: clock is gonna take me here for a second. Let 633 00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:36,400 Speaker 1: me pull over and do this thing. And I'll finish 634 00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:38,280 Speaker 1: up with you at the top of the hour. Ronading 635 00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:42,320 Speaker 1: the card doctor eight zero coming back right after this, 636 00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:12,279 Speaker 1: m Ron and Adian, welcome back. When a naming of 637 00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:14,600 Speaker 1: the car Doctus back to Matt and Columbus, Ohio. Matt, 638 00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:20,640 Speaker 1: you're there, sir, Yes, sir. You had a front suspension question. Matt, Yeah, 639 00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:25,640 Speaker 1: only turn sharp left or right. I hear a loud 640 00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:30,920 Speaker 1: metallic popping the clean noise? Have you and I've had 641 00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:35,200 Speaker 1: to have the ball joint the ball joints out do 642 00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:40,480 Speaker 1: not to be any play in the hip at Looking 643 00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:45,560 Speaker 1: at the coil springs, um, I don't see any. I 644 00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:48,280 Speaker 1: didn't get any rubber buffers from the top or bottom 645 00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:50,840 Speaker 1: of the coil springs that I started thinking probably that 646 00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:54,480 Speaker 1: could watch somebody stall doing They didn't put the rubber 647 00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:58,439 Speaker 1: seals on them. Yeah, if they're new springs, there's there there. 648 00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:01,120 Speaker 1: If memory shows me correct, I believe on the top 649 00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:05,160 Speaker 1: there was a rubber pad that the spring sat against. 650 00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:08,120 Speaker 1: Now let me ask you this. Have you looked at 651 00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:10,239 Speaker 1: you must be aware that there is you know, the 652 00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:13,040 Speaker 1: stop turn or the turn stopped down at the bottom. 653 00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:15,000 Speaker 1: It's built into the control arms. So when the spindle 654 00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:16,440 Speaker 1: cranks all the way to one side or the other, 655 00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:19,239 Speaker 1: it hits the control arm that's the physical stop. And 656 00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:21,439 Speaker 1: if you're doing this out of a driveway, the trick 657 00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:24,480 Speaker 1: would be that you'd go down the driveway, you'd make 658 00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:27,120 Speaker 1: the turn and it would hit the stop and because 659 00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:29,520 Speaker 1: it would drag the metal across that that played at 660 00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:31,480 Speaker 1: the bottom of the control arm. Do you know what 661 00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:33,319 Speaker 1: I'm talking Do you know the area of the car 662 00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:36,799 Speaker 1: I'm talking about the front suspension. I know the part 663 00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:39,479 Speaker 1: you're talking about because I saw them on a parts 664 00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:42,800 Speaker 1: list but looks online and I didn't even look on 665 00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:44,920 Speaker 1: them on the actual car. Though I didn't think too 666 00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:50,280 Speaker 1: much because after market didn't really Yeah, they they should 667 00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:53,160 Speaker 1: be greased, you know, back in the old days when 668 00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:56,160 Speaker 1: we greased things and changed oil and went through front 669 00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:58,680 Speaker 1: suspensions as part of an oil change. You just take 670 00:35:58,719 --> 00:36:00,880 Speaker 1: a dab of wheel bearing or have a yellow grease 671 00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:04,359 Speaker 1: and grease that stop and it will prevent it from 672 00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:07,920 Speaker 1: dragging and making loud metallic noise. As the as you're 673 00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:09,680 Speaker 1: turning the wheel on a hard left or right turned 674 00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:12,239 Speaker 1: this could be the stops that's making the noise too. 675 00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:14,200 Speaker 1: So take a look at that. Matt I'm Marn eating 676 00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:17,360 Speaker 1: the car. Doctor. Mechanics aren't expensive, they're priceless. See you
