34
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 6: Hey, Ronald?

35
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:22,040
Speaker 1: Or are you good? Sir? What's going on?

36
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 6: I got yeah?

37
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:23,760
Speaker 3: Good?

38
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:24,199
Speaker 5: Hey.

39
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:28,960
Speaker 6: I have a twenty twenty one Toyota Highlander. It's approaching

40
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 6: fifty thousand miles and kind of following your logic, if

41
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:34,399
Speaker 6: it's wet, I'm going to change it. Well, actually I

42
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 6: already did change it. Changed all my fluid good cooling

43
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 6: on the verder on the ice engine train and fill

44
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 6: on the ECVT and break fluid. I ended up using

45
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 6: all OEM fluids and stuff. But as I was doing it,

46
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 6: you know, I saw the price tag and I was

47
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 6: just thinking, you know, is it possible to use a

48
00:01:55,280 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 6: high quality alternative on these fluids? And if so, what's

49
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 6: what's the deal with mixing fluid? Like, well, if you

50
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 6: want two different types of break fluid and your bratic lines.

51
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:08,640
Speaker 1: Probably not break fluid.

52
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 3: I'll tell you what break fluids. Boy, we could talk

53
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 3: for an hour on this. Break fluid has become so specific.

54
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,080
Speaker 3: You know, back in the day it was dot three,

55
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:20,919
Speaker 3: dot four and silicon or dot five. Now there's dot

56
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:24,360
Speaker 3: four high, you know, low moisture, dot for regular, dot

57
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:28,080
Speaker 3: for I mean, they've they've they've changed the specificity of

58
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 3: break fluid and made it so much more so in

59
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:34,519
Speaker 3: the last couple of three four years. So Number one,

60
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 3: make sure, obviously you're putting in something that meets the spec.

61
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 3: Number two, make sure you're something that doesn't meet just

62
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 3: the dot three or dot four, dot five spec whatever

63
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 3: it is, but you know, meets the manufacturer spec. So

64
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 3: it's it's got to meet a standard. Every fluid in

65
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 3: every vehicle has to meet the standard of that manufacturer.

66
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 3: And the only way you're going to know is if

67
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 3: you want to use something after market versus Toyota. You know,

68
00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:59,080
Speaker 3: pick out a brand of fluid, get into your local

69
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:02,800
Speaker 3: autoparts store, NAPA or wherever you're going to go, and

70
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 3: you know, take that shelf off the shell.

71
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 1: I'm going to use this brand.

72
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 3: Go to their website or call their customer support and say, hey,

73
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 3: I've got a twenty one Toyota this or I've got

74
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 3: a twenty two Chevy that you know, does this fluid

75
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 3: meet that manufacturer spec?

76
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:18,920
Speaker 1: And yes, I have no problem with that.

77
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:22,079
Speaker 3: I don't care about mixing brands as long as they

78
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 3: meet specification, all right, Right, so you know, as far

79
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:29,520
Speaker 3: as breakfas as far as any fluid. Now, all that

80
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:34,359
Speaker 3: being said, we recently had a I'm trying to think

81
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 3: of the year. I think it was around a nineteen

82
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 3: or twenty Toyota Corolla and we were trying to change

83
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 3: the trans fluid and nobody could give us exact spec

84
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 3: or correct spec, and we ended up using well you

85
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 3: would think it was WS, but it wasn't because it

86
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 3: was a it was a CVT. So we ended up

87
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 3: getting the fluid from Toyota twice as much. All right,

88
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 3: it comes in a leader can in a pore, all right,

89
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 3: it's like four point one leaders. That's how they sell it.

90
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 3: Nice can, gorgeous metal can, little built in funnel spout,

91
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 3: whole thing. It's you know, I don't know if it

92
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 3: was worth ninety five bucks, but uh, you know, and

93
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:20,719
Speaker 3: the killer was and this this was the catch. Now,

94
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 3: I like e du Metsu fluid. I do Metsu makes

95
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 3: a lot of the fluid for the Japanese vehicles, right,

96
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,600
Speaker 3: and the Japanese fluid that do Metsu. I'm sorry that

97
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 3: do Metsu fluid that was looked up in the catalog

98
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 3: was green, but the Toyota fluid that was in the

99
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:40,360
Speaker 3: car was red. The Toyota the Toyota fluid that I

100
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 3: got from Toyota was red, but it wasn't WS. So

101
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 3: the color thing comes into it too. So, you know,

102
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:52,839
Speaker 3: you talk about mixing brands. I'm okay with mixing brands.

103
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 3: But now let's say I used the do Metsu which

104
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 3: I later on found out that the red is correct.

105
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, the green is correct. Even though there was

106
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 3: red in it, there'd still be a little red residue.

107
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:04,720
Speaker 3: Now I'd mix the red and green and come up

108
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 3: with what blue? So so how would I How would

109
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 3: I know if the correct fluid comes out the next

110
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:11,040
Speaker 3: time I service?

111
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 1: Right, you look at it and go. So you know,

112
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 1: there's there's there's.

113
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,479
Speaker 3: Problems in all of this in that if we're going

114
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 3: to go buy brand specificity and try to mix brands,

115
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 3: we've got to know what we're doing.

116
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:24,479
Speaker 1: We've got to know history.

117
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 3: So as long as we follow a spec that we

118
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:33,160
Speaker 3: know that brand X is designed for this particular application.

119
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:35,840
Speaker 3: It doesn't matter what color, as long as we can

120
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 3: trace out the history and we can come up with.

121
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 6: Those manufacturers if you ask them, I guess are obliged

122
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 6: to say yes this meets Toyota or no, this meets

123
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 6: does not mean Toyota.

124
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 7: Correct.

125
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:48,039
Speaker 1: Now.

126
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 3: I called up I called up Dumetsu, and to my disappointment,

127
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 3: I never got a I never got anybody on the

128
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 3: phone to speak with. I never got a reply to

129
00:05:56,360 --> 00:06:00,720
Speaker 3: my email. I never received the response. So rather than wait,

130
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 3: I had a customer on the lift. I've got to

131
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 3: get this car out. I've got to get my car,

132
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 3: customer back his car. I called Toyota and I had

133
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 3: Toyota bring me over, you know, one hundred dollars worth

134
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 3: of special red fluid and a nice metal can with

135
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 3: a nice and you know, and the job's done, and

136
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 3: I'm happy. I'm confident, right, you know, because confidence is

137
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 3: part of utero repair. You've got to be confident in

138
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:22,839
Speaker 3: what you're doing, that you're doing the right thing. But

139
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:26,039
Speaker 3: you know, fluids can be a challenge. Fluids can be

140
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,360
Speaker 3: a challenge. You've just got to think your way through it.

141
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 3: And uh, you know, I like the idea of changing

142
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 3: everything that's wet, you know, by fifty thousand at least.

143
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 1: And you know, I think, I think you'll have it

144
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 1: for a good long time.

145
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 6: Can I get a quick one? Yeah, they have that

146
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:48,159
Speaker 6: call calls for a sludge at one hundred they have

147
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:51,039
Speaker 6: the iridium done shows. But I don't know, what do

148
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:53,159
Speaker 6: you think about that? One hundred thousand seems like a

149
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:53,720
Speaker 6: lot to me.

150
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:55,840
Speaker 3: Well, the question becomes, how long is it going to

151
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:57,840
Speaker 3: take you to get to a hundred thousand miles?

152
00:06:58,520 --> 00:06:59,480
Speaker 1: All right?

153
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:02,719
Speaker 3: You know it's if it's a low mileage vehicle. I

154
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 3: typically also look at mileage versus time. All right, that

155
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 3: vehicle gets to be seven eight years old, that vehicle

156
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 3: gets seventy five eighty thousand miles on it.

157
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 1: I'm putting plugs in it. I'm just built that way, brother,

158
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 1: you know.

159
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 3: And you know it also depends on an environment, you know,

160
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 3: where the vehicle sits where and how the vehicle is used.

161
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 3: I'm also looking at, you know, yeah, how it's operated,

162
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 3: you know, to be a little bit you know, to

163
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 3: be ten percent correct to this side of the line

164
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 3: in terms of early doesn't bother me because I'll put

165
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 3: two hundred and fifty three hundred thousand miles on a vehicle.

166
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 3: I tend to hang onto a vehicle a good long time.

167
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 3: My four suburban, now think about this, right, here's the

168
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 3: perfect example before I let you go. My two thousand

169
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 3: and four suburban. I've owned since day one, changed the

170
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 3: typer every day of its life, done everything I possibly

171
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:58,240
Speaker 3: could to maintain it. Just turned ninety three thousand miles.

172
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, mileage, yeah right right, yeah.

173
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 1: People keep trying to buy it from me. It's it's funny.

174
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 3: I take it, I take it to the supermarket, I

175
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 3: park it, and everybody's like, wow, look at that thing.

176
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 1: There's not a drop of rustaurant. Yeah no, there isn't.

177
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 1: Trust me, right.

178
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 3: I did plugs at fifty five thousand, which was twenty

179
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 3: twenty sixteen, because of time. When I get those plugs

180
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:24,679
Speaker 3: out of the head, you know, and when I pulled

181
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 3: every one of those plugs, I took great interest in

182
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 3: noted that between the porcelain body and the steel shell

183
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 3: of the spark plug, there's a seal that helps keep

184
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 3: out moisture.

185
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 1: It's how the plug is assembled. They call it the

186
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:37,840
Speaker 1: moisture seal.

187
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:40,840
Speaker 3: And every one of those plug had a rusting around

188
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:43,199
Speaker 3: it that the moisture seal was breaking down. That was

189
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,079
Speaker 3: the way it was explained to us in spark plug

190
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 3: class forty years ago or thirty years ago. Whenever the

191
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 3: heck I went, and you know it's it's time counts,

192
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 3: time and mileage counts, and you know they work together,

193
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:57,319
Speaker 3: so you know, do it, and I think you'd be

194
00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 3: riding that car a good long time.

195
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 1: So all right, kiddo, great in thank you, You're very welcome, sir.

196
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 1: Good luck to you.

197
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:07,199
Speaker 3: Let's let me let me pull over and take this pause.

198
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:09,319
Speaker 3: When we come back, we'll go right to Bob in Massachusetts.

199
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:10,560
Speaker 3: I'm running any in the car doctor.

200
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 1: I'll return right after this. Laura, good time.

201
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:30,560
Speaker 8: Ride it on the wall so you don't forget to

202
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 8: call for car device done right?

203
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 1: Eight five five five six zero nine nine zero zero.

204
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 1: Now back to Ron.

205
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:39,680
Speaker 3: Hey, let's go to Bob in Massachusetts. Bob, Welcome to

206
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 3: the car doctor, sir. How can I help?

207
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:42,720
Speaker 9: Thanks?

208
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 8: Ron, how are you doing? A Couple of weeks ago,

209
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:47,200
Speaker 8: I dropped off my truck at the mechanic shop. I

210
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 8: was gonna have to replaced the battery had a lot

211
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 8: of build up on the positive table and then also

212
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 8: had a belt making a noise or it was a Pulley.

213
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:54,440
Speaker 7: I wasn't sure.

214
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 8: I was making like a chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp every

215
00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 8: once in a while, not every time. So he switched

216
00:09:59,880 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 8: up battery. They did an okay job with that. I

217
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 8: thought they could have removed a lot more of the

218
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 8: stuff that got everywhere off of the battery cable, all

219
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 8: the white stuff, but a little so not you know,

220
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 8: kind of concerned about that. You know, I cleaned it

221
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 8: all off myself after the fact, but you know, I'm

222
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 8: looking for a new mechanic on top of all that,

223
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 8: and I didn't let him know that, but so so

224
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 8: they got the belt on there.

225
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 9: I drove it home.

226
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:20,680
Speaker 8: As soon as I got home, I snow a little

227
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 8: bit of burning and I was like, Wow, that's weird.

228
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 8: Maybe it's just because it's breaking in the next day,

229
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:27,560
Speaker 8: drove to work, get to work. I'm about to leave

230
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 8: work and then I open up the hood and I

231
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 8: see the one of the one of the Pulley's idlier pulley,

232
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 8: I guess, is all black and you know, the sticky so,

233
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 8: my god, So it's not right, you know. So I

234
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 8: called him up and they said, you know, bringing in

235
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 8: the next chance I can. The next morning, I dropped

236
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,200
Speaker 8: it off, went to work. I came back after work,

237
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 8: picked it back up. They straightened it out. What happened

238
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:50,839
Speaker 8: was they said that the servanteae belt that they put

239
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 8: on it was rubbing on the crank shaft fully. So

240
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 8: I'm not sure if that's you know, I would think

241
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 8: that they'd be able to get that straight first time.

242
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 8: I know, they're nobody's perfect. And I asked, you know,

243
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:04,560
Speaker 8: it's the belt compromise now, and they said, well, it's guaranteed,

244
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 8: you know. So I didn't get any further than that,

245
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 8: but you think they should have just put a new

246
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 8: belt on that.

247
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 3: Absolutely, absolutely, the belt was off the belt. The belt

248
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 3: was off a tooth it sounds like or a rib

249
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 3: on the bottom crank pulley that it was rubbing, and yeah,

250
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 3: I you know, it's it's Look, you know what, I

251
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 3: tell this story half a dozen times a year. I

252
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:28,440
Speaker 3: was sitting at the kitchen table. I was eight years old,

253
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 3: nine years old, and Pop told mom, hey, I'll be

254
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 3: home late tomorrow night. I got to go out and

255
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 3: look at the carpeting at this at the Hackley School

256
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:38,439
Speaker 3: for Boys up in North Jersey somewhere, and this was

257
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 3: nineteen sixty five, nineteen sixty six. And Mom said, why

258
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:44,720
Speaker 3: we did that carpeting job five years ago. Mom did

259
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 3: the books. Dad ran the rug business. And he said,

260
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:48,719
Speaker 3: you only get one chance to annoy a customer. You

261
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 3: got to make it right. And you know, I never

262
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:53,679
Speaker 3: forgot that he actually said a dirty word. So I

263
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 3: don't want to say that here on radio. But let's

264
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 3: just say, you only get one chance to chance to

265
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:02,960
Speaker 3: pee a customer off. And you know it's it's it's

266
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 3: just just just put a belt on it.

267
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:06,440
Speaker 1: Just just just put a belt on it. It's like,

268
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 1: what's what's the big deal?

269
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 3: Uh?

270
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 1: You know what.

271
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 3: That's that's part of business. They missed it. They made

272
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 3: a mistake. And by the way, to comment on the

273
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 3: battery terminals, the easiest thing to clean dirty battery terminals

274
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 3: is boiling water. We have a water cooler in the

275
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 3: shop that does hot water and cold water. We'll take

276
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 3: a cut, We'll take a dixie cup of hot water,

277
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 3: like you know, hot enough for tea, almost boiling, and

278
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 3: we'll just dip the terminal in it. You'll be amazed

279
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:34,520
Speaker 3: how the how the acid just just falls away. It

280
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:38,320
Speaker 3: just you know, no chemical, no spray, no sloppy mess,

281
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:42,199
Speaker 3: and it's just water. But it's warm water, and you

282
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:44,560
Speaker 3: know I won't pour it directly on the battery, which

283
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 3: I don't need to at that point, you know, probably missening.

284
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 3: So nineteen is that the original battery in the truck.

285
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:53,319
Speaker 8: Bob it was I got. I got five years out

286
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:54,560
Speaker 8: of it, and like you always say, it's a little

287
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 8: bit older than when they put it when they bought

288
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:56,319
Speaker 8: the thing.

289
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 7: So it's probably a six.

290
00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 8: Year old battery, right, So get rid of it five

291
00:12:59,080 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 8: thousand miles.

292
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:02,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely so.

293
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 3: But you know my other concern with this is, you know,

294
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 3: what are the backs of the pulleys look like you're

295
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 3: in Massachusetts? Is there any rust on any of the

296
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:12,560
Speaker 3: pulleys there's or any corrosion? Did the did the did

297
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:14,320
Speaker 3: that belt when it started to fail?

298
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 1: Did it?

299
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 3: Did it fleck off? Is there anything stuck to any

300
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 3: of the police. So they got to look this over,

301
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 3: you know, make sure.

302
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 8: He did clean off the idle or pulley that you

303
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 8: could see all the rubbing, all the belt that rubbed

304
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 8: off on they think to clean that up. You know,

305
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:29,960
Speaker 8: I said to him, I said, I'll pay you for

306
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 8: the time to diagnose the pulleys if you knew how

307
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 8: to do that or not. And I know, getting good

308
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:36,439
Speaker 8: diagnosis and stuff to come by because I listened to

309
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 8: you enough to know that I said that. And I

310
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:41,320
Speaker 8: don't think any pulleys were diagnosed necessarily, but I never

311
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 8: got any info on that.

312
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, it sounds like you're looking for a new mechanic.

313
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 3: You know, there's you know, you know what the great

314
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 3: thing about people is, as much as we get annoyed

315
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:51,840
Speaker 3: at people, and we all do, right, if you look

316
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 3: closely enough and you'll listen closely enough, over time people

317
00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 3: will show you who they are and then you decide

318
00:13:58,800 --> 00:13:59,840
Speaker 3: do you want to deal with it or not.

319
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:03,600
Speaker 1: You know, it's it's just it's not worth it. It's

320
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:06,080
Speaker 1: not worth your ulcer, Bob, It's not. It's just not.

321
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:08,320
Speaker 3: There's other there's other great mechanics out there. Just go

322
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:09,960
Speaker 3: find one, you know.

323
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:11,439
Speaker 1: It's all right.

324
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:12,840
Speaker 8: That's all I had.

325
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 7: Thank you so much.

326
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 1: You're very welcome you.

327
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, listen, he tried, he went back, it didn't work. Next,

328
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 3: you know, it's it's like dating. Let's go to John

329
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 3: and Michigan. John run an ending of the car Doctor.

330
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 3: How can I help you, sir.

331
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 1: John?

332
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 9: Yes, sir, I have a twenty eleven Malibu. I bought

333
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 9: it in twenty sixteen with seventy some thousand miles on it. Okay,

334
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 9: And they the most oil shops demanded that I use

335
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:45,680
Speaker 9: Dex saus oil. But I found places to use conventional

336
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:49,840
Speaker 9: motor oil. I believe Dex sauce in my case, is

337
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 9: not worth it. And I could use stronger language, okay.

338
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 9: And but here I am with two hundred and thirty

339
00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:00,720
Speaker 9: some thousand miles, and I used barely a court between

340
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 9: oil changes. I think the half court this last time.

341
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:06,360
Speaker 9: I don't see any reason to ever use deck sauce.

342
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 9: And I just wonder if anybody else's luck has been

343
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:09,960
Speaker 9: this good.

344
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know, honestly, John, I don't

345
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 1: know anybody else that's tried it. You're you're you know.

346
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 3: There's there's certain challenges I will make to engineers. What

347
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 3: what specification of motor oil? Is not one of them?

348
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 1: All right?

349
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 3: And I get it the proofs in the pudding, Okay,

350
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 3: you know it could just be your combination of driving,

351
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 3: your style of driving, the location, the environment. But you

352
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 3: were the one that made it general motors. No car

353
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 3: company actually designed something to a specification just to be annoying, right,

354
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 3: there's there's there's always a reason.

355
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 9: You know, I believe there's a profit motive there.

356
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 1: I mean, why why why? Though, I mean, we can

357
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 1: have that conversation.

358
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 3: Why why not just charge more for conventional oil?

359
00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:02,000
Speaker 9: If it's all why didn't both place of oil motor

360
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 9: oil go down when the price per barrel of crude

361
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 9: went way down? Right? It didn't?

362
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 1: Right?

363
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 9: And can't we see it?

364
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 10: I just I'm just never gonna if I if I

365
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 10: run a warranty, yeah, i'd use it just until then,

366
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 10: But now I'm never gonna you know why, And I

367
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 10: may be, but with this, got no doubt I did

368
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 10: the right thing for what is it eight years now?

369
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:26,040
Speaker 3: Well it worked for you. That's that's, you know, my

370
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 3: best answer. I can't say that I would encourage anybody

371
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 3: else to do it. To me, it's a no brainer,

372
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 3: you know, it's it's it's you know the difference between

373
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 3: conventional oil and synthetic oil. How often are you doing

374
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 3: your oil changes?

375
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 9: Well, usually four to five thousand miles and that's probably

376
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 9: at least half highway.

377
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:50,920
Speaker 3: Miles, okay, and then you know Dexos oil is five

378
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 3: to six thousand miles. I'd have to do a cost

379
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 3: basis analysis.

380
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:59,280
Speaker 9: And I hear there's another show they say, yeah, you

381
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 9: can do, but they say they claim there is no

382
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 9: oil filter that will last that six or seven that

383
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 9: that synthetic oil companies recommend. And I don't know who

384
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:12,720
Speaker 9: to believe. Well, I don't think i'll have that.

385
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:15,520
Speaker 3: I can tell you this, and I'm not sure who

386
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:17,679
Speaker 3: you'll believe either, John, But I can tell you this

387
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:21,919
Speaker 3: that most original equipment manufacturer oil filters will go the

388
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:24,520
Speaker 3: seventy five hundred seven thousand, seventy five hundred miles. And

389
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 3: I can have that argument about ten thousand mile oil

390
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:30,680
Speaker 3: change intervals too. So but I do know this that

391
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 3: from my own experience, I've been putting synthetic in everything

392
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:36,119
Speaker 3: for the past twenty years, and I drive everything to

393
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:37,960
Speaker 3: two hundred thousand miles as well, and I don't have

394
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:39,640
Speaker 3: to think about whether or not I did the right thing,

395
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:41,160
Speaker 3: or if I suffer an engine failure.

396
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:45,480
Speaker 9: What about just changing the oil filter at you know,

397
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:48,399
Speaker 9: three four thousand miles and overdo it. I believe in

398
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:49,719
Speaker 9: overdoing the cheap stuff.

399
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 3: Well, you can overanalyze this, in my opinion, right, you're

400
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 3: asking me my opinion. You can overanalyze this to the

401
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 3: nth degree. I don't know that it's you know, I

402
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 3: don't know that it's that big a deal. Put what

403
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:06,359
Speaker 3: the manufacturer recommends in it, change the oil when they

404
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:09,240
Speaker 3: recommend it or sooner, depending upon your driving style, and

405
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 3: I think you'll be fine. You happen to be the

406
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:12,960
Speaker 3: one that got away with it, John, I don't know

407
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:14,480
Speaker 3: that anybody else would get away with it, or that

408
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 3: everybody would get away with it on a regular basis,

409
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:19,719
Speaker 3: depending upon the variety of environment and how they were driving.

410
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:22,199
Speaker 3: So whatever your art wants to do, man, it's your

411
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:24,600
Speaker 3: name on the title, but I wouldn't encourage it.

412
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:26,440
Speaker 1: I'm running any in the car doctor. I'll be back

413
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 1: right after this.

414
00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:59,119
Speaker 3: Hey, welcome back, lend in the car doctor. Here at

415
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:01,240
Speaker 3: a five five five s so on nine nine zero zero.

416
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 3: Let's go over to Brian and Philly. Brian Horry today,

417
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 3: my man?

418
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:04,159
Speaker 1: What's going on?

419
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:05,920
Speaker 5: Ron?

420
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:06,440
Speaker 2: How are you?

421
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:07,520
Speaker 1: I'm good? What's cooking?

422
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:09,199
Speaker 5: Uh?

423
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:11,600
Speaker 2: This is something we talked about before it was a shifter.

424
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:14,720
Speaker 2: It was a shifting error. Remember, the transmission was not

425
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:19,880
Speaker 2: recognizing what gear I was in, right this, ye, right.

426
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:21,919
Speaker 2: I put it off a little too long and the

427
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 2: car got stuck and the car kept shifting back the park.

428
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 2: So I wanted to get a towed back to my mechanic.

429
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 2: I got a toe shark to do that. So my

430
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 2: mechanic looked at it. It required, you know, calibration, but

431
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:37,800
Speaker 2: also what I didn't realize was it was a cable

432
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:38,680
Speaker 2: they had to replace.

433
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:41,879
Speaker 9: Sure, besides the calibration.

434
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:43,960
Speaker 2: I didn't think about a cable. I just thought about

435
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:46,679
Speaker 2: the calibration. So they said they had to get the

436
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 2: part from a four dealer. The part wasn't that bad,

437
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 2: but it was sort of labor intensive. But they were

438
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:55,200
Speaker 2: able to fix it, you know, in the same day

439
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:59,119
Speaker 2: or the day after I dropped it off. But you

440
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:01,120
Speaker 2: warned the other people bewarded me, you know, don't put

441
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 2: it off too long, and I kind of did.

442
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, But now you yeah, and you know why I

443
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 3: do that, And understand the cable stretched, which is what

444
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 3: threw the calibration out, which is what created the whole

445
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:12,840
Speaker 3: problem in the first place. And Ford has updated that

446
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 3: shifter cable now too, as a matter of fact, So just.

447
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:19,960
Speaker 2: To be aware, I wonder, is is there anything I did?

448
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 2: Am I shifting it too hard?

449
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:22,440
Speaker 9: You know? This is a knob.

450
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:25,919
Speaker 2: I've never seen a shifter knob. Nope, and this car doesn't.

451
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 2: It doesn't have a shifter has like a knob like

452
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:29,719
Speaker 2: it's not actually even a knob. It's like a dial.

453
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:32,399
Speaker 2: Because I wonder, did I do it too fast? I

454
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 2: think too much pressure on it? Nope, Or to wear

455
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:36,200
Speaker 2: in tear.

456
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:37,040
Speaker 1: Just wear in tear.

457
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:40,199
Speaker 3: It's a seventeen, it's three six, it's seven going on

458
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:41,880
Speaker 3: eight years old. You got to think about how many

459
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 3: times a day you use that shifter? Right every time

460
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:45,560
Speaker 3: you started?

461
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:46,080
Speaker 6: Yeah?

462
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:49,680
Speaker 3: Every time? Brother, So I wouldn't overthink it. There's other

463
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:52,080
Speaker 3: things to think about and worry about, both, you know,

464
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 3: in front of the car, back of the car, and

465
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:54,240
Speaker 3: so forth.

466
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:56,200
Speaker 1: So I wouldn't worry about that. I think you're fine,

467
00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:57,240
Speaker 1: all right.

468
00:20:57,720 --> 00:20:57,920
Speaker 9: Yeah.

469
00:20:57,920 --> 00:20:59,400
Speaker 2: I just had to get I had to get it towed.

470
00:20:59,440 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 7: It wasn't near.

471
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:02,879
Speaker 2: But look, hey, look, I you know, you gamble, You

472
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:04,719
Speaker 2: gamble and you loose, well, you know, and that's what

473
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:07,360
Speaker 2: I did. But at least from here I do appreciate

474
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:08,239
Speaker 2: your guidance on this.

475
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:09,119
Speaker 1: You're very welcome.

476
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 3: You know, this is this is like my conversation and

477
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:13,600
Speaker 3: point about you've got a five year old battery. How

478
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:15,000
Speaker 3: long do you wait before you change it?

479
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:15,719
Speaker 8: You know?

480
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 3: And like I said, there are people out there that

481
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:19,679
Speaker 3: they'll wait till seven or eight years, nine years. You know,

482
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 3: we just had a caller John and John I I

483
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:24,280
Speaker 3: got to bring John up again. You know, he's using

484
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:27,439
Speaker 3: conventional oil in a twenty eleven vehicle that he got

485
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:30,480
Speaker 3: two hundred thousand miles out of. Hey, that's great. Try

486
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:33,159
Speaker 3: that in a twenty twenty four vehicle. Try that in

487
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:35,119
Speaker 3: something newer. I don't know that I would want to

488
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:37,600
Speaker 3: be the victim of that. You know, that circumstance or

489
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 3: that science project. Manufacturers design products to work within a

490
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 3: certain timeframe and a certain specificity. They have to set

491
00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:48,439
Speaker 3: a standard, and you know, in the case of the

492
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:50,439
Speaker 3: shifter cable, well you know what they found out there

493
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:52,959
Speaker 3: was a flaw and it required a cable replacement. In

494
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:56,080
Speaker 3: the case of oil, they decided that beginning in model

495
00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:59,399
Speaker 3: year two thousand and seven, I think it was, GM

496
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:02,960
Speaker 3: took everything over to Dexos because they were trying to

497
00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 3: increase and make some changes to the way the engines

498
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:08,679
Speaker 3: were treated and maintained. And it also has to do

499
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 3: in cases of oil with the ash content or the

500
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:15,720
Speaker 3: chemical content of the oil and how it affects catalytic converters.

501
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:18,960
Speaker 3: So you know, it's your rolling the dice when you

502
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:20,600
Speaker 3: go against what a manufacturer says.

503
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 1: Brian.

504
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 3: I appreciate the call, sir, and John, if you're listening,

505
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 3: I hope that hope that made sense to you as well.

506
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:27,520
Speaker 3: Let's go over and talk to Micah and Maine. Michael,

507
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:29,440
Speaker 3: Welcome to the car doctor, sir. What's going on?

508
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:33,239
Speaker 5: Hey, Ron, great to speak to you, calling about my

509
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:37,399
Speaker 5: twenty fifteen subrew legacy with not even sixty thousand miles

510
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:39,879
Speaker 5: on it yet. Okay, but I got a break question

511
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,840
Speaker 5: for you. You know, all breaks these days are power assisted.

512
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 5: You know, I remember we both remember the days when

513
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:47,800
Speaker 5: power breaks with something new. But all breaks these days

514
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:49,959
Speaker 5: and power breaks. And you know, when you get out

515
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:52,360
Speaker 5: of the car and you stop the car, you get

516
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:54,879
Speaker 5: back into it, there's still like one assist left in

517
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:56,520
Speaker 5: the break more or less, and you could feel it

518
00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:58,760
Speaker 5: when you push the brake pedal down to start it

519
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:02,119
Speaker 5: and I still have that, but recently, and only recently,

520
00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:04,679
Speaker 5: in the mornings after I let it sit overnight and

521
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:07,200
Speaker 5: I pushed the brake pedal down to start it, that

522
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:10,720
Speaker 5: power's not there. I'm just like, everything leaked out and

523
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:13,199
Speaker 5: there's nothing there. I don't know what that is. But

524
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:15,480
Speaker 5: I don't know if that's it's always been there before.

525
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:17,960
Speaker 5: It's only the past week or so, and I don't

526
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 5: know if that's a sign of a problem.

527
00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:21,199
Speaker 1: It could be a sign of a pending failure. It

528
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:23,199
Speaker 1: would be early. It's not common.

529
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:26,200
Speaker 3: We don't see a lot of breakbooster failures any longer

530
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:28,679
Speaker 3: like we once did. A lot of it has to

531
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:30,639
Speaker 3: do with and I think part of the reason is

532
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:33,359
Speaker 3: technology has gotten better. Rubber's gotten better, but believe it

533
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:36,840
Speaker 3: or not, the quality of gasoline has gotten better and

534
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 3: the way it's controlled and the emissions, so the vapors

535
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 3: inside the engine are dispersed and don't necessarily attack the rubber.

536
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:47,119
Speaker 3: But regardless, what you could try is this, micah, and

537
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 3: you know, pump the brake pedal until all the boost

538
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 3: is depleted right after you shut it off, you know,

539
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:56,120
Speaker 3: so the pedals rock hard and lightly keep your foot

540
00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 3: on top of the pedal start the car, Does it

541
00:23:58,480 --> 00:23:59,440
Speaker 3: draw the booster.

542
00:23:59,240 --> 00:23:59,960
Speaker 1: Down right away?

543
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:04,720
Speaker 3: You should have instant power breaks in that sense, and

544
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 3: if you do, it does yeah, okay, if you do,

545
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:10,680
Speaker 3: then when you know you're you're, you're, you're, you're, you're

546
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:14,440
Speaker 3: looking at a pimple on the flies behind. Maybe it's

547
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 3: it's obviously something I would keep track of. Is there

548
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:19,119
Speaker 3: a check valve where the vacuum host comes into the

549
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 3: booster or is it a straight host straight line that

550
00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:23,119
Speaker 3: just hosts clamps on that just clamps on.

551
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:27,840
Speaker 5: I don't know. I you know, I I know enough

552
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:29,639
Speaker 5: to get myself in trouble, but I can't work on

553
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:30,480
Speaker 5: the car myself.

554
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:30,639
Speaker 6: You know.

555
00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 1: You know, you may want to mention it to him.

556
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:34,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, you may want to mention it to your SUPERU

557
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:38,560
Speaker 3: dealer because you know, maybe they've seen something, but I

558
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 3: have not. I have not seen any break booster failures

559
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:43,800
Speaker 3: on any super Rus. Not saying it can't happen, but

560
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:46,720
Speaker 3: I can't think of anybody else that would really notice

561
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:47,000
Speaker 3: it either.

562
00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:47,359
Speaker 1: Kiddo.

563
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:50,560
Speaker 5: Uh, you know, okay, because you know, when I start

564
00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:52,280
Speaker 5: the car, you know, and it's a push button start,

565
00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:53,959
Speaker 5: have the foot on the break as soon as it starts,

566
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:55,720
Speaker 5: the pedal sinks right down right.

567
00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:57,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's normal. That's normal.

568
00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:00,480
Speaker 3: So typically, you know, typically most car would have a

569
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:03,639
Speaker 3: check valve going into the booster, into the rubber gramut

570
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:06,680
Speaker 3: and into the hose. So maybe you know it's nine

571
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:09,159
Speaker 3: years old. Now, maybe we've got some sort of a

572
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:12,479
Speaker 3: vacuum loss there. What I would want to do is

573
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:15,879
Speaker 3: I would start probing around. I would actually start. I

574
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:17,399
Speaker 3: would hook up a scan tool. I'll tell you how

575
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:19,080
Speaker 3: I would do this, and it's going to sound crazy.

576
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 3: I'd hook up a scan tool, I'd bring up oxygen sensors,

577
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:24,760
Speaker 3: and I'd look at fuel trim, and I'd start sniffing

578
00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:28,240
Speaker 3: around with pro paine around the vacuum line for the booster,

579
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:30,840
Speaker 3: at the check valve and the bottom of the booster

580
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:34,480
Speaker 3: to see if anything's Jordan does anything, little spurts, does

581
00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:37,359
Speaker 3: any pro paine enrichment actually, because it changed in the

582
00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:39,960
Speaker 3: mixture sniffing around the booster. If it does, then I've

583
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:41,879
Speaker 3: got a booster that's failing. If not, I've got a

584
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:45,320
Speaker 3: leak that's so small that unless I want to really

585
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:47,320
Speaker 3: get crazy, I'm not going to worry about it until

586
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:48,280
Speaker 3: it becomes a bigger issue.

587
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:49,119
Speaker 1: And more noticeable.

588
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:52,400
Speaker 5: So you know, is when I stop, go in someplace,

589
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:54,960
Speaker 5: come back, start it again, everything's fine. It's only when

590
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:55,960
Speaker 5: it sits overnight.

591
00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:57,399
Speaker 1: Listen.

592
00:25:57,560 --> 00:26:03,240
Speaker 3: We had a fifteen Durngo recently that set of P

593
00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:07,480
Speaker 3: zero four to forty EVAPP system malfunction and it turned

594
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 3: out that it had a bad um the electronic system

595
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:14,679
Speaker 3: and the evaporative system and integration monitor. The integrity monitor

596
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:15,760
Speaker 3: pump was bad.

597
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:18,159
Speaker 1: Proved it. You could you could physically see it.

598
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:18,399
Speaker 9: It was.

599
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:20,800
Speaker 1: It had physical damage to it. Changed it.

600
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:22,879
Speaker 3: Three days later the car came back with a P

601
00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 3: zero four fifty six. Now in both cases we smoke

602
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:29,159
Speaker 3: tested the vehicle. So we ran smoke which is just

603
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:32,399
Speaker 3: about a pound psi of pressure to it, if you

604
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:34,920
Speaker 3: want to call it that, and it showed nothing. Even

605
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 3: on the return it showed nothing. But yet it was

606
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:38,720
Speaker 3: set in a four to fifty six small evapp leak.

607
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:42,120
Speaker 3: Did some diagnosis, thought about it, went over to the

608
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:44,600
Speaker 3: nylon hose that connects to the purge valve.

609
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:45,760
Speaker 1: It's a press fit.

610
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:48,840
Speaker 3: Style on the end of a nipple, and just gently

611
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:50,800
Speaker 3: gave that hose a little bit of a twist and

612
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:53,119
Speaker 3: it started to leak smoke, put some tire soap on

613
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 3: it and it started the bubble. So sometimes vacuum leaks

614
00:26:57,119 --> 00:27:00,560
Speaker 3: and pressure leaks. They react to environments. Sometimes they react

615
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:04,240
Speaker 3: to vibration. Sometimes just a product of age. I don't

616
00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:05,960
Speaker 3: know that I would worry about it, mikeh And I

617
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 3: hear your concern. It's breaks, but I would keep an

618
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 3: eye on it, and if it becomes more noticeable, then yeah,

619
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:14,920
Speaker 3: I do something about it. But you're probably fine, you know,

620
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:17,040
Speaker 3: if something changes, by all means, get it looked at.

621
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 1: Eight five five five six nine nine zero zero. I'm

622
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:21,159
Speaker 1: running any of the card doctor. We're back. We're right

623
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:22,320
Speaker 1: after this. Don't go away.

624
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:38,359
Speaker 3: Taking Hey, running of the car doctor. Let's go eight

625
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:40,480
Speaker 3: five five five six nine nine zero zero. That's the

629
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:50,080
Speaker 1: We're kind of rolling along this weekend. It's like, let's

630
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:51,320
Speaker 1: see who's Tom throwing at me?

631
00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:51,520
Speaker 5: Next?

632
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:54,199
Speaker 3: John Virginia two thousand Honda CRV. John, Welcome to the

633
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:55,320
Speaker 3: Car Doctor, sir. How can I help?

634
00:27:57,119 --> 00:28:00,600
Speaker 7: Yeah, I've got a two thousand Honda CRV and it

635
00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:05,679
Speaker 7: completely turns off when you're driving it, you lose all power,

636
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:07,840
Speaker 7: so you have to pull over to the side of

637
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:10,720
Speaker 7: the road and start it back up again.

638
00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:14,919
Speaker 1: You the original owner, John, No, okay, how long have

639
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:15,359
Speaker 1: you had it?

640
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:19,840
Speaker 7: So about We've had it about six and a half years.

641
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:20,280
Speaker 5: All right.

642
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 1: Do you know if the ignition switch recall was done?

643
00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:28,960
Speaker 7: I do not know ignition switch recall, yep.

644
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:30,920
Speaker 3: I want you to take the seventeen digit VN, which

645
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:33,359
Speaker 3: you'll find in the bottom left corner of the dashboard

646
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:36,280
Speaker 3: or on the registration or on the title. I want

647
00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:39,920
Speaker 3: you to go to NHTSA dot gov, which is National

648
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:43,320
Speaker 3: Highway Traffic Safety Authority dot gov, government right dot gov

649
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:46,560
Speaker 3: nitze as I sometimes refer to it, and there'll be

650
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:48,840
Speaker 3: a spot there where you can type in the seventeen

651
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:50,920
Speaker 3: digit VN and it will tell you if there is

652
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 3: still any and they'll tell you this on every vehicle,

653
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 3: but it will tell you if there's any open recalls

654
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:58,440
Speaker 3: on that very common problem. You know, if the recall

655
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:01,000
Speaker 3: has been done, it would not be impossible for it

656
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:03,120
Speaker 3: to have a second bad ignition switch, being that it's

657
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:04,760
Speaker 3: a two thousand how many miles were on this.

658
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:08,040
Speaker 7: About two hundred and twenty thousand, right.

659
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:10,200
Speaker 1: Look at the mileage it's on it right. You know

660
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:10,760
Speaker 1: how many times?

661
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:13,160
Speaker 3: How many times is that ignition key cycle that switched

662
00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 3: in the past twenty five years? Let me say that slowly, right,

663
00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:21,000
Speaker 3: There was actually there was actually a voltin from Honda

664
00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:24,240
Speaker 3: that came out back when they talked about this TWODHO

665
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:26,920
Speaker 3: thirty one. It was so long ago. It's only a

666
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:29,200
Speaker 3: five digit bulletin. How do you like that? Now they're

667
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:29,960
Speaker 3: like seven or eight.

668
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:33,360
Speaker 1: That's how old this car is, right.

669
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:36,040
Speaker 3: You know, back back when we diagnosed this, there was

670
00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:40,400
Speaker 3: a black no, there was a black yellow wire at

671
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:42,600
Speaker 3: the back of the ignition switch. We would tap into

672
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:45,000
Speaker 3: that and look for battery voltage and then we would

673
00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:47,200
Speaker 3: monitor it either with a vault meter or with a

674
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:51,240
Speaker 3: little side marker, little self illuminating one ninety four side

675
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:53,720
Speaker 3: marker bulb. If the bulb went out, we knew that

676
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:58,560
Speaker 3: the ignition switch had died, you know, and that you know,

677
00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:01,719
Speaker 3: it was the switch itself. You know, if you sit

678
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:06,000
Speaker 3: in the driveway and start it and I is it

679
00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:07,760
Speaker 3: right away or does it take a while for it

680
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:09,320
Speaker 3: to happen, like the vehicle has to be good and

681
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 3: warmed up?

682
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:13,640
Speaker 7: Well, let me give you some other background. Yeah, yeah,

683
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:15,040
Speaker 7: the answer to your question is yet.

684
00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:18,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you know why, because it's a plastic switch,

685
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:22,000
Speaker 3: and the current heats up the plastic, the plastic expands

686
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:24,960
Speaker 3: and the switch loses connectivity within itself. So if you

687
00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:26,680
Speaker 3: kind of play with this in the driveway, you may

688
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:28,480
Speaker 3: be able to get at the shut off proving that

689
00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:29,480
Speaker 3: it's the switch as well.

690
00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:31,080
Speaker 5: I got you.

691
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:34,040
Speaker 7: But one thing that we did do it. I took

692
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:38,720
Speaker 7: it to a local mechanic and he said that it's

693
00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 7: your crank sensor. Okay, guaranteed if you replace your crank sensor,

694
00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:47,240
Speaker 7: that'll take care of the problem. I took it to

695
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:50,880
Speaker 7: the place to get the crank sensor done. They replace

696
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:53,520
Speaker 7: the crank shaft speed sensor.

697
00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:54,040
Speaker 1: Right.

698
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 7: It worked fine for about about three to four weeks,

699
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:02,120
Speaker 7: and then it started doing it again.

700
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:06,959
Speaker 3: Okay, so you know, I'm back to did it have

701
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:09,640
Speaker 3: the recall? You know, is a coincidence?

702
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:10,280
Speaker 5: Is it?

703
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:12,160
Speaker 3: And then what sort of diagnosis did he do to

704
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:14,000
Speaker 3: determine it was a crank sensor? Did he say, well,

705
00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:15,840
Speaker 3: because it's a Honda and it's Tuesday, it's getting a

706
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 3: crank sensor.

707
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:18,280
Speaker 7: Pretty much?

708
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:21,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's you know, that's no diagnosis, brother, that's just guessing,

709
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:25,160
Speaker 3: all right. So you know it's possible, you know, because

710
00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:27,480
Speaker 3: then we got to have the conversation if it's if

711
00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:30,800
Speaker 3: that's a shop's idea of a diagnosis, then what level

712
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:32,520
Speaker 3: or quality of replacement part.

713
00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:32,960
Speaker 1: Did they use?

714
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:37,040
Speaker 3: And you know it's it's come to me with facts.

715
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:40,600
Speaker 3: And I'm not scolding you at all, John, don't misunderstand me.

716
00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:45,040
Speaker 3: You know, I diagnosed. I had a seventeen Chrysler Pacifica

717
00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:48,880
Speaker 3: this week that the local Chrysler dealer told the customers

718
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:53,560
Speaker 3: she needs two rear wheel speed sensors, all right. So

719
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:56,120
Speaker 3: it was like fifteen hundred dollars worth of abs wheel

720
00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:58,040
Speaker 3: speed sensors along with a bunch of other stuff she

721
00:31:58,040 --> 00:31:58,440
Speaker 3: didn't need.

722
00:31:58,440 --> 00:31:59,560
Speaker 1: It was like a five thousand dollars.

723
00:31:59,640 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 5: Quote.

724
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:02,560
Speaker 3: Brought the car to me, half in tears, and she's, yeah, right,

725
00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:04,360
Speaker 3: it's it's ridiculous. It's like, you know, if you're gonna

726
00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:06,240
Speaker 3: rob me, just use a gun on a mask. I mean,

727
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:09,280
Speaker 3: just just just cut it out, all right. And she

728
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:11,440
Speaker 3: brought the car to me and we looked at it

729
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:12,120
Speaker 3: and yeah.

730
00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:13,280
Speaker 1: It's got a fault. It's got fault.

731
00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:16,800
Speaker 3: Coach for the left rear wheel speed sensor. Put the

732
00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:18,120
Speaker 3: car up in the air. I want to go in.

733
00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:19,560
Speaker 3: I want to tap in. I want to look at voltages,

734
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:21,560
Speaker 3: I want to look at signal. Plain is the nose

735
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:24,640
Speaker 3: on your face? The wiring harness was broken on the

736
00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:28,640
Speaker 3: harness side of the connector. Okay, now you could put

737
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:30,640
Speaker 3: you could put a sensor in this vehicle. You still

738
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:33,000
Speaker 3: wouldn't get the piece you need. It still wouldn't have

739
00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:35,520
Speaker 3: the connector because it's on the it's on the harness side,

740
00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:38,920
Speaker 3: not the connector side. I ordered a harness repair kit

741
00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:43,000
Speaker 3: from Chrysler, soldered it in. The car's fixed, all right.

742
00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:47,280
Speaker 3: So you know, just because somebody says, give me proof,

743
00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:49,360
Speaker 3: I was actually so ine sensed about that. By the way,

744
00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:50,880
Speaker 3: in the next week or so you'll see there's a

745
00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 3: YouTube video coming to the channel where I talk about

746
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:55,480
Speaker 3: it twenty seventeen christ or pacifica ABS.

747
00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:57,680
Speaker 1: But you know, just saying something's bad.

748
00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:01,080
Speaker 3: Show me the test and my point bes I showed

749
00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:03,600
Speaker 3: her a graph of here's the four sensors where the

750
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:06,000
Speaker 3: one's not working. Here's the four sensors where they all

751
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:09,080
Speaker 3: graph out and they all show that's data. That's a diagnosis.

752
00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:11,200
Speaker 3: I need a crank censor because it's Tuesday and you're

753
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:13,480
Speaker 3: driving a blue Honda. Yeah, that doesn't cut it, brother,

754
00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:16,040
Speaker 3: all right, go take a look two things. Go find

755
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:18,760
Speaker 3: another mechanic and go take a look and consider the

756
00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:20,800
Speaker 3: ignition switch. Call me back if you need more. I'm

757
00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:22,640
Speaker 3: running any in the car doctor. I'll be back right

758
00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:39,200
Speaker 3: after this. Welcome back. Run any of the card doctor

Speaker 3: have four minutes of talk and you've got nothing to say?

767
00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:56,960
Speaker 1: I don't.

768
00:33:57,280 --> 00:33:58,800
Speaker 3: So I've got two cars I want to tell you about,

769
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:02,320
Speaker 3: twenty nineteen Honda and a use of Nhou.

770
00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:02,840
Speaker 1: So let's see.

771
00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:05,040
Speaker 3: I'll do the Nhou first. I found a really neat

772
00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:07,280
Speaker 3: thing to do with Nhou oil. This week, we have

773
00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:11,319
Speaker 3: a customer that has a Ford Escape and the ford

774
00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:15,040
Speaker 3: Escapes have a problem where they have this plastic cover

775
00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:17,960
Speaker 3: lid that goes on top of the engine and I'm

776
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:20,120
Speaker 3: doing the oil change on this particular car this week,

777
00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:23,600
Speaker 3: and it's a low mileage vehicle. Okay, Clyde's car. It

778
00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:26,080
Speaker 3: was Clyde, right. I've did a bunch of escapes this week,

779
00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:28,840
Speaker 3: and you could see that an animal was building a

780
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:31,239
Speaker 3: nest under the plastic cover, and I'm like, how am

781
