1
00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:03,280
Speaker 1: Ron Anian, the Car Doctor is writ in your prescription,

2
00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:05,400
Speaker 1: get out and go for a rod. If it's okay

3
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:07,480
Speaker 1: to be with family, and I think it's okay to

4
00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:10,040
Speaker 1: be with family if you're quarantined with them, then go

5
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:14,960
Speaker 1: out for a family, right, doctor, the car Doctor at

6
00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:18,120
Speaker 1: the calf is getting louder, and I'm just wondering should

7
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:22,560
Speaker 1: this be cause for concern? Well, yes, okay, if the

8
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:26,280
Speaker 1: noise is getting louder, obviously it's getting worse. Whatever it is,

9
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 1: Welcome to the radio home of ron and Anian the

10
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:33,880
Speaker 1: Car Doctor, since this is where car owners the world

11
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 1: overturned to for their definitive opinion on automotive repair. If

12
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:41,199
Speaker 1: your mechanics giving you a busy signal, pick up the

13
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:44,879
Speaker 1: phone and call in the garage doors are open, but

14
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:47,519
Speaker 1: I am here to take your call at eight five

15
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 1: and now running. You know you wonder sometimes is the

16
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:00,400
Speaker 1: car capable of being repaired in all the or the

17
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 1: customers capable of allowing it to be repaired? What sort

18
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:05,120
Speaker 1: of shape do they put it in? Did you create

19
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 1: your problem? And sometimes I think you did. I wanted

20
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:09,960
Speaker 1: to start this hour of the Car Doctor, and thanks

21
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 1: for taking time to stop by with us today. By

22
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 1: the way and talk to you about engine replacement in

23
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 1: the psychology of it, and transmission and engine overhaul and

24
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 1: that type of thing. But I think I can best

25
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 1: explain my point this way. And oh eight Honda Accord

26
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 1: came into the shop this week, and um, we were

27
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:27,759
Speaker 1: glad to get it. It It was one of the few

28
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 1: cars we had with the crisis going on, you know,

29
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 1: the shop has slowed down some and first time I'm

30
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 1: seeing the car. They were recommended by a long term customer,

31
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 1: and I was glad they were there because you feel

32
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 1: better when you can kind of get people back on

33
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:44,399
Speaker 1: the straight and narrow oh eight Accord. It had a

34
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 1: hundred and forty thousand miles on it, but it was

35
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 1: set up. The whole thing was set up to fail

36
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 1: no matter what I did. The problem with it was

37
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 1: it had v tech light on, It had check engine

38
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 1: light on, It had some O their dashboard lights on,

39
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 1: all sorts of warnings that ran rough and had low power.

40
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 1: It was bucking and the car was basically it felt

41
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 1: like it was on death. Store scanned it for fault coach,

42
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 1: you know. We brought it and checked it in the

43
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 1: usual routine, did a safety checklist. So I knew where

44
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:17,639
Speaker 1: we were at, and after the safety checklist, I kind

45
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 1: of condemned the car, but I said, I'm obligated to

46
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:22,799
Speaker 1: diagnose the running problem. And it had a misfire fault

47
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 1: coming up cylinders one to three and four random misfire

48
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 1: P zero three across all four and a P one

49
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:36,399
Speaker 1: double O nine, which is a v tech actuator circuit full. Huh. Well,

50
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 1: let's see, a variable timing control circuit issue can cause

51
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:46,080
Speaker 1: a misfire. We've seen it happen. It's common knowledge. The

52
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 1: other part that I'm leaving out, which the customer explained

53
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 1: to me after the fact, was that the engine burns oil.

54
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 1: That isn't exactly how she said it. Maureen was a

55
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:57,839
Speaker 1: little upset about the car. She's she's a little excitable um,

56
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 1: much of the chagrin of her husband, who stood there quietly. Uh,

57
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 1: and it it. It has an oil consumption issue. When

58
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 1: I got the car, the oil was clean. So now

59
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 1: I've got and and understand why I'm saying that, because

60
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 1: low oil level can cause a variable valve timing full.

61
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 1: So was the oil low and that's what created the

62
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:25,839
Speaker 1: VTC fault. Is the oil condition fouling plugs badly, that

63
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 1: it's causing a misfire and the V T C fault

64
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 1: is something else. You got to do your diagnosis. In

65
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 1: the end, I found that there's a warranty extension from

66
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 1: Honda for this particular car eight years or five thousand miles.

67
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 1: So the car is just out by time. That's out

68
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 1: by it's three years by time, and it's out by

69
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 1: fifteen thousand miles by mileage. Although the indication I got

70
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 1: was this car has been acting like this for maybe

71
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 1: a year, uh in terms of you know, actual oil consumption,

72
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 1: which I never really got a number, and it's been

73
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 1: a why so it might have just been on the

74
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 1: fringe had they've done something sooner. And there was also

75
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 1: a bulletin for the noise that we heard it startup,

76
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 1: which was the variable valve timing sprocket that goes bad.

77
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 1: The actuator itself actually fails and goes bad and creates

78
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,279
Speaker 1: a knocking sound or a ratcheting sound when you go

79
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:18,159
Speaker 1: to start the car up from a cold start and

80
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 1: sometimes when it's warm. Bottom line, it needed internal engine repair,

81
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 1: It had a consumption issue, It had a leaking power

82
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 1: steering rack, the new battery she had put in somewhere else,

83
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 1: came to my door. The battery itself, I believe, is defective.

84
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:35,600
Speaker 1: It's a new battery, new as new mean, never ever worked.

85
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 1: I went through that drill. You can't lock the car

86
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:41,719
Speaker 1: because if you locked the car and the battery goes dead,

87
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,720
Speaker 1: the remote may or may not work because the driver's

88
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 1: doorlock has a key broken off in it, and it's

89
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:51,359
Speaker 1: actually taped over so you don't try to jam another

90
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 1: key in there, and you can't get in the car,

91
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:55,840
Speaker 1: and then you have to finagle the hood open the

92
00:04:56,480 --> 00:05:00,840
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just a mess. That's not a candidate

93
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,720
Speaker 1: for an engine. And and and and that's the point of this.

94
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:06,479
Speaker 1: And you know I explained it to her. Can I

95
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 1: fix this? Sure? Absolutely? Where would you start? You gotta

96
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 1: start with an oil consumption test. I've got to know

97
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:13,119
Speaker 1: how much oil this car is burning. Is it burning

98
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,480
Speaker 1: a court in five miles? Great, you gotta fix it.

99
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 1: Is it burning a court in a thousand miles? You

100
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 1: can tolerate that, but it's only gonna get worse from

101
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:21,720
Speaker 1: there on in. Is it burning a court in three

102
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 1: thousand miles? What's the oil consumption? Once you get the

103
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 1: oil consumption under your belt. Then you can have a

104
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 1: conversation about repairing the valve timing actuator, you know, possibly

105
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 1: putting a timing chain in it, and and and going

106
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 1: through and doing the other engine repair or do you

107
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 1: just do a complete engine overhaul and eliminate the problem. Great,

108
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 1: you fix the engine. Now you gotta deal with the

109
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,480
Speaker 1: other stuff. And that's the point of are you mentally

110
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 1: prepared to repair that engine? Are you mentally prepared to

111
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 1: put a bettery in that hybrid vehicle? Are you mentally

112
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 1: prepared to put a transmission in your car? Because you

113
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 1: have to look at the other factors, all right, Look,

114
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 1: marriages and all just living quiet, happy under one roof

115
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 1: with somebody and and getting along at meals and and

116
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 1: you know the rest of the day. There's there's parts

117
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 1: of a marriage that are difficult. There's parts of a

118
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 1: marriage that you know, it's a learning curve. Same thing

119
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:13,599
Speaker 1: putting an engine in a car, same thing putting a

120
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 1: transmission in the car. You've got to be prepared to

121
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,480
Speaker 1: do the work. You've got to be prepared that if

122
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:20,800
Speaker 1: you put an engine in the car. In Maureen's case,

123
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 1: she'd have to fix the door lock. She's got to

124
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 1: fix the power steering wreck. She's got to fix, you know,

125
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 1: and and so on and so forth right on down

126
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 1: the line. And then you've got to be prepared a

127
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:32,599
Speaker 1: hundred and forty thousand miles on the twelve year old car.

128
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 1: You've got to play what if? What if this goes bad?

129
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 1: What if that goes bid? Listen, go put an engine

130
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:40,159
Speaker 1: in a car, al right, Go put a battery in

131
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 1: a car, a hybrid battery. Because that's where this conversation started.

132
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 1: A couple of weeks ago. Go put a hybrid battery

133
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 1: in a car for three grand thirty and two months later,

134
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 1: one of the power windows goes bid. What's the power

135
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 1: window costs to fix? Three to five? Car has two?

136
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 1: There's a thousand bucks. What if the cars what if

137
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 1: it's a four door? What if it's four window motors?

138
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 1: And over the course of the next two years they

139
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 1: all go bed. There could be two thousand dollars. And

140
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 1: my point becomes, you know, because you could extrapulate this

141
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 1: out forever, you just' you've just got to think, you know,

142
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 1: where are you going? And and you know, are you prepared?

143
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 1: By the way, and I wanted to read this Toyota

144
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 1: actually did last week we talked about it. I have

145
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 1: a physical copy in my hand. Toyota has extended the

146
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 1: warranty on the part of the PSF vehicles, the Prius

147
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 1: is and the hybrid cameras and UH you know, some

148
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 1: of the others. That they've extended the coverage of all

149
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 1: emission components for the PSF vehicles partial zero emissions UH

150
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 1: for fifteen years or a hundred fifty thousand miles. And

151
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 1: they've also done some work I believe they've extended, although

152
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 1: I don't see it in this bulletin in front of me,

153
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 1: that they've done some work where they've extended the warranty

154
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 1: on the batteries themselves. So if you're driving a Prius

155
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 1: UH you know, or a partial zero emissions vehicle or

156
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 1: a hybrid, you may want to check with Toyota before

157
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 1: you do any major emission repairs because some of that

158
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 1: may be under extended coverage. Bulleton number is p O

159
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 1: l UH Peter Peter Ohio Larry fourteen dash on nine

160
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 1: and it's dated September And I wasn't even aware of this.

161
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 1: This actually came to my attention through my friend Tony,

162
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 1: who was a long time Toyota Toyota aficionado, and I

163
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 1: thank him for this that you know this is out

164
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 1: there so um. Bottom line, Look, you want to put

165
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 1: an engine in a car, great, but you've got to

166
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 1: ask yourself why does the car need an engine? Did

167
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:34,960
Speaker 1: it fail as a result of abuse from lack of maintenance,

168
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 1: or did it fail because the car's got two or

169
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:39,199
Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty or three hundred or four hundred

170
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:41,840
Speaker 1: thousand miles on it or whatever. You just can't throw

171
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 1: parts or an engine, or a battery or a transmission

172
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 1: in a car. You've got to have a justification. You've

173
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 1: got to stop and think about the whole scenario. You

174
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:51,080
Speaker 1: don't just jump off and get married. You can't just

175
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:54,439
Speaker 1: jump into doing an engine because it seems like it's

176
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:56,840
Speaker 1: the thing to do. Just think about where you're going.

177
00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 1: Chances are it's a good reason. Chances are it will

178
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 1: makes sense. Chances are. And I'm not trying to confuse you.

179
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:05,080
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to get you to think. Don't be

180
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 1: like Maureen where I'm telling you you couldn't if the

181
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 1: battery went dead in the car, you couldn't. You couldn't

182
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:14,199
Speaker 1: get into that car. Uh, you know you could? You

183
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 1: use a rock because you'd break the window, but um,

184
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 1: you know, there was no other way to do it,

185
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:21,560
Speaker 1: and I should point out I think the thing that

186
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 1: really just sort of categorized that particular Honda really well

187
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,200
Speaker 1: was when I went into the glove compartment because I

188
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 1: was looking for the anti theft code to do the

189
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:32,960
Speaker 1: battery test to disconnect the battery, which I never found.

190
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:37,359
Speaker 1: I found repair invoices from five other prior repair shops,

191
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:41,959
Speaker 1: So you know, is it a classification? Are we bouncing

192
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,440
Speaker 1: around from repair shop to repair shop to repair shop?

193
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:46,440
Speaker 1: Do we not know what we're looking for? Or can

194
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 1: we not find a good one? Um? Do we recognize it?

195
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:51,440
Speaker 1: And I think that's the next question we're gonna work

196
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 1: on here. Do you recognize a good repair shop when

197
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 1: you see one? Or is it strictly about price? And

198
00:09:56,760 --> 00:10:00,160
Speaker 1: I don't think so, but I think there's some factors there, so, um,

199
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 1: you know, but just think about it. Putting an engine

200
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:03,560
Speaker 1: in a car, are you ready to take care of

201
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 1: the whole car? You're getting married? Are you ready for

202
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 1: all the obligation and responsibility? Hey Zo n zero running

203
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 1: any of the car doctor coming back right after this

204
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 1: welcome back? Aren't any of the car doctor. Let's get

205
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:22,319
Speaker 1: over to Iowa and talk to David. David checking and

206
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 1: how are you today, sir, Hey, I'm doing great. I'm

207
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 1: doing great. So I'm still alive. I've survived it all.

208
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:35,320
Speaker 1: So I've survived at all. But you know, mechanics can

209
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 1: do that. We take a shot of card clean in

210
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 1: the morning. You know that's the sign of a good mechanic.

211
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 1: Not to minimize or make this frivolous. But um, you

212
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 1: know it's it's you just but yeah, we're we're taking

213
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:47,319
Speaker 1: it easy, We're playing it safe. We we've got the

214
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:50,680
Speaker 1: shop on lockdown. You know, you've got signs up, got

215
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 1: the gates closed. If you want to talk to us,

216
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 1: you gotta do it by phone. If you want to

217
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 1: drop off the car, you leave the car and we

218
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 1: uh we we fumigate it and lysol it and you know,

219
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 1: and we work on it and ship. Yeah. No, no

220
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 1: direct no direct contact for the immediate future. So, but

221
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:12,440
Speaker 1: what you do about a divorce? I had I had

222
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:18,199
Speaker 1: an old Chevy truck Keio thousand. I bought it, Uh

223
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 1: not quite right, but I bought it and had nothing

224
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 1: with problems with it, and I didn't want to get

225
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 1: rid of them were of these kind of guys who

226
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 1: just like to hang on and keep trying to fix

227
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 1: the problem, you know. But if I found that the

228
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 1: problem with me, we're trying to fix it. So I

229
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 1: broke down and advertised it. A guy came over and

230
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:42,200
Speaker 1: took it right off the night, said goodbye to it,

231
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 1: and gave it a kiss and had to go down

232
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 1: the road. And I've been happier ever since. I've done

233
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 1: that well. And I don't get a catch to these cars.

234
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 1: And when they fail you it's just like a marriage.

235
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:57,439
Speaker 1: If it fails, you get rid of it. Sometimes. No,

236
00:11:57,600 --> 00:11:59,839
Speaker 1: I don't know about that, David. Let's talk about my nineties,

237
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 1: My nineties seven Ranger, all right, my little forward Ranger.

238
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:07,320
Speaker 1: It's got two eighteen thousand miles on it now. I

239
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:12,440
Speaker 1: bought it in two thousand and three. Needed a rear end.

240
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 1: I put it. I put a rear in it. We

241
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 1: paid three hundred bucks for it. The customer didn't want

242
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:19,320
Speaker 1: to fix it. A matter of fact, the customer still

243
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 1: comes in. He sees it every every time he comes in.

244
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 1: He left. He says I should have kept it, but

245
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:25,120
Speaker 1: he doesn't know the money I spent on it for

246
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 1: me it made sense to keep the ranger. I put

247
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 1: a rear in it. Actually I put two rears in it,

248
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:31,960
Speaker 1: because the rear failed the second time about seven years later.

249
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 1: Um I figured it out last year where I've probably

250
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 1: spent a thousand dollars in parts every year for the

251
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 1: past fourteen years or whatever it's been, and we work

252
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:46,319
Speaker 1: on it when the shop is slow. Very rarely has it,

253
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 1: you know, led us down to the point that we

254
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 1: needed it in an instant. There's enough other vehicles, but

255
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:51,960
Speaker 1: there's a little shop truck. It kind of makes sense.

256
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:54,719
Speaker 1: So I don't know what I you know, if I

257
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:58,840
Speaker 1: had replaced that vehicle, um, by now, I probably would

258
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:02,960
Speaker 1: have bought two two replacement shop trucks, you know, thirty

259
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 1: dollars apiece eighty grand. Yeah, it's it's so one thing

260
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 1: about it, right, One thing about divorced is I've been

261
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 1: married for fifty year, so somewhere I thought it was

262
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 1: worth it, though evidently it was. It worked out this flying.

263
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 1: If you love something that much, go for you know

264
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 1: what I mean? Well, and you know what I think.

265
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 1: But David, I think we have to separate maybe it,

266
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:31,720
Speaker 1: but or clarify this. I think we have to separate

267
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 1: um being married. You know, you love the person. I

268
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 1: don't know if you love you know, if you really

269
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 1: love that vehicle, Like I love some of my vehicles,

270
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 1: but I would never put it above the person I'm

271
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 1: married to. Um is my point, you know, But but

272
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:49,440
Speaker 1: I get it, you know, it's it's and listen a

273
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 1: lot of times older cars. I mean, good lord, look

274
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:54,840
Speaker 1: at the money we spend on older cars and classics.

275
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 1: You can't justify that money. That's a labor of love.

276
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 1: And I I always believe that. I think the reason

277
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 1: we keep some of the older cars that we keep

278
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:07,080
Speaker 1: is because there's that emotional connection. We remember something, there's

279
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:09,679
Speaker 1: something about you know. For me, I remember driving a

280
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 1: seventy two Monte Carlo. It was the car I went

281
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 1: to college, and it was the car that you know,

282
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 1: we took the first kids home from the hospital and uh,

283
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 1: you know when they were born, and you know, it's

284
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 1: just it's that emotional attachment. I don't know if anybody's

285
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 1: gonna remember that about Toyota camera or a Chevy Equinox today.

286
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 1: I don't know if I don't know if anything like

287
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 1: that matters. Well, no, I'm not as you're doing one

288
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 1: with the car. But I've got five of them that

289
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 1: I haven't got rid of. I've been carried them around

290
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 1: for twenty some thirty years. So I'm right along there

291
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 1: with you. There's something I just see it just sh

292
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 1: there then, uh, you know whatever. I think that getting

293
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 1: rid of a car sometimes is the best thing, and

294
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 1: I think keeping a car sometimes is the best thing.

295
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 1: And it's it's hard, you know, people people right in

296
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 1: they want to know when to I get rid of it?

297
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 1: When do I keep it? And it's hard because I

298
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:08,400
Speaker 1: think every car is a I think every car is

299
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 1: a unique situation. I think trying to you know, it's

300
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:14,560
Speaker 1: it's listen, when I give advice about an oil change interval,

301
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:18,320
Speaker 1: I try to give as generic as broader coverage with

302
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 1: some common sense ideas along the way as I can,

303
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 1: because I still find everything. You know, every situation really

304
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 1: has its can have its own unique circumstances. A lot

305
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 1: of cars fall into the category, but then you know,

306
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 1: don't and what do you do with it? So you know,

307
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 1: is every car candidate for an engine replacement? No? Is

308
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 1: every car candidate for a battery replacement if it's a hybrid, No,

309
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 1: But some are and a lot are, And it's just

310
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 1: the whole goal of what I'm trying to do is

311
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 1: get people to think. But um, you know, I probably

312
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 1: would have gotten to two thousand Chevy pick up to David,

313
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 1: because I can only imagine it probably needed brake lines.

314
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 1: It probably had leaky trams, have probably had leakic trans

315
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 1: cooler lines. GM made some terrible vehicles, the pickups they were,

316
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 1: they were good, but you had to stay after them,

317
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 1: and you had to chase them because they rushed away.

318
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 1: Rust was probably the biggest issue with that truck, right right, Well,

319
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 1: you don't want we don't want to get rid of grandma. No, no,

320
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 1: maybe we don't want to get rid of grandma. We

321
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 1: don't want to get rid of family. We um, we

322
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 1: just you know, we want to we want to make

323
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 1: economic and realistic decisions. So how are things out Iowa?

324
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 1: Way before I let you go, David, Yeah, we haven't

325
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 1: gotten as bad. You know, we're kind of hoping them.

326
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 1: The wind blows through here, blows most of the step away,

327
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 1: and everybody's watching themselves. They're trying to use some common

328
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 1: sense from then do what they're told to do. And

329
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:46,920
Speaker 1: I see a lot of them that doing that. But

330
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 1: there are some like they're distubborn as hill. They don't

331
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 1: want to do that, you know. Yeah, wouldn't it be

332
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 1: wouldn't it be wonderful if this brought common sense back

333
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:58,040
Speaker 1: to the forefront of our of our consciousness. So David,

334
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 1: you'd be well, my friend and uh my best. Everybody

335
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 1: out Iowa way all right, anybody out here praying for you,

336
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:09,040
Speaker 1: guys up in New York, both sides of one end

337
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:12,800
Speaker 1: of the country. Yeah, and we can feel it. Yeah,

338
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:15,160
Speaker 1: we can. We can feel it. We know everybody's with us,

339
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:19,320
Speaker 1: and we'll get through it. So you take it. I

340
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:22,440
Speaker 1: will you take good care of David. Oh, you'd be well.

341
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:24,520
Speaker 1: Um real quick an email. Let me just get this

342
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:26,639
Speaker 1: in here if I can. Um. Hey, Ron, what about

343
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:29,399
Speaker 1: electric vehicles? One thing I want to make comment on.

344
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 1: This comes to us from Covista. One thing I want

345
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:33,640
Speaker 1: to make comment on is you're spending an awful lot

346
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:36,119
Speaker 1: of carbon resources at the power planet. All depends on

347
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:38,239
Speaker 1: how many miles you're driving a day to see if

348
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:40,920
Speaker 1: it makes sense exactly. And that's one of the things

349
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:44,440
Speaker 1: I've said over time that it's really a unique situation.

350
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:46,520
Speaker 1: You know, I've actually got some electric car vehicle owners

351
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 1: out there, and I'm sorry that actually are mad at me.

352
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:50,919
Speaker 1: It's funny, you know. You read the review. People say

353
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:53,360
Speaker 1: I hate him, he's against electric vehicles. But I keep

354
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 1: listening because I want to see what he's gonna say next.

355
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:58,199
Speaker 1: I think I've heard that before. Um, you know, listen,

356
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 1: All I'm saying is if you want to like vehicle,

357
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 1: you've got to be prepared to deal with the technology.

358
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:05,679
Speaker 1: You've got to be prepared in my mind, and the

359
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:10,200
Speaker 1: scientific facts are it's not necessarily making a gas free

360
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:12,320
Speaker 1: yet it's lower emissions at the vehicle. But what does

361
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:15,159
Speaker 1: it take to produce the electricity to power that vehicle?

362
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 1: That's another story. So anyway, that's that email, Ron and

363
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:20,760
Speaker 1: any of the car doctor I'm coming back right after this.

364
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:51,639
Speaker 1: Don't you go away? Eos need advice on how to

365
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 1: maintaining that classic g t O. Ron is the guy

366
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:58,560
Speaker 1: eight five five five zero nine zero zero. Here's Ron.

367
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 1: So let's get over to Steve and Nashville, New Hampshire

368
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:03,719
Speaker 1: and talk to him. Steve, what's going on, sir? How

369
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 1: can I help? I'm doing great. I'm doing great. You know.

370
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 1: You know it's funny I and I appreciate the question

371
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:14,639
Speaker 1: more than you know, Steve. I I was just saying

372
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:17,359
Speaker 1: to my wife the other night, we're watching, Um, you know,

373
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 1: we're watching American Idol. Okay, we we had something to do, right,

374
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:24,359
Speaker 1: You're in quarantine and you watch these kids win and

375
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:26,199
Speaker 1: they're you know, they're down to the top twenty and

376
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:28,800
Speaker 1: so on, and UM. You know. I turned around with

377
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:30,720
Speaker 1: my wife and I go, isn't this a great country?

378
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:32,199
Speaker 1: I said? And look at this, I said. I got

379
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 1: to do my own singing competition in a way, and

380
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:36,199
Speaker 1: I win. Every week. I get to go out on

381
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:38,680
Speaker 1: national radio and I get to talk to people about

382
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 1: problems with their cars. And I said, I'm the luckiest

383
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:43,600
Speaker 1: guy in the world. I really am. It's some I'm

384
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 1: really doing great man, I really am. I appreciate it. Um,

385
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:48,120
Speaker 1: how can I help you today? How can I help

386
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:52,119
Speaker 1: you today? Thank you? Two thousand and four Chevy tahoe

387
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:57,160
Speaker 1: ze UM been maintaining the vehicle myself since I've owned it, uh,

388
00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:03,760
Speaker 1: since second owner. UH. I'm approaching to fifty miles on it.

389
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 1: And it's my understanding that this has a timing chain.

390
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:11,080
Speaker 1: UM behind the water pump, is there a change untive

391
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:14,440
Speaker 1: with that on that particular application. Well, there is and

392
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:16,800
Speaker 1: there isn't, all right, you know, there was never a

393
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:19,640
Speaker 1: change interval on back when it was the first generation

394
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:22,520
Speaker 1: small block Chevy either, but we we would check for

395
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:25,639
Speaker 1: change stretch. It was easier on a car with a

396
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:28,280
Speaker 1: distributor because we could take the cap off, look at

397
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 1: the rotor position, mark the crank, move the crank, how

398
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 1: many degrees does the crank move before the distributor moves,

399
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:36,199
Speaker 1: and it would show us the amount of slop in

400
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:38,679
Speaker 1: the chain where we would split time it with a

401
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:40,919
Speaker 1: timing line. We would look at the difference in timing

402
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:43,239
Speaker 1: from one cylinder to the next, and we would look

403
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:45,880
Speaker 1: to see, you know, is there a degree of difference

404
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:49,520
Speaker 1: telling us the chain has got stretched to it? Generally, no,

405
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:53,720
Speaker 1: there is no interval on on the newer vehicles like that,

406
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:57,879
Speaker 1: you know, can you can you check it? Sure? Uh,

407
00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:01,000
Speaker 1: you know you'd have to get at it either. Either

408
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:03,879
Speaker 1: you're gonna pull off the valve cover for number one cylinder,

409
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:06,840
Speaker 1: which maybe you're gonna do valve cover gaskets, so you're

410
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:09,399
Speaker 1: gonna tie it into that. You're gonna bring the crank

411
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:12,040
Speaker 1: around so that number one cylinder is on top that center,

412
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:15,720
Speaker 1: you can watch the valves and watch them move. And

413
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:19,399
Speaker 1: as you move the crank, you know, load the crank

414
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:23,159
Speaker 1: one direction opposite of rotation and then move it backwards.

415
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:26,239
Speaker 1: How long how much rotation of the crank do you

416
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:29,680
Speaker 1: have before you pick up the slop the alleged slop

417
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:32,919
Speaker 1: in the chain and cause it to move where you

418
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:38,560
Speaker 1: see the valves themselves moving? Right? You get me? Um,

419
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:42,520
Speaker 1: if you've changed the oil on this and you've done

420
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:46,800
Speaker 1: the maintenance, chances are it's not going to be needed.

421
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 1: Is it a good idea to check it can't hurt? Um?

422
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:53,560
Speaker 1: You know? You maybe you want to encompass this and say,

423
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:55,600
Speaker 1: is that the original water pump? Is that the original

424
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:59,720
Speaker 1: water pump? Steve, No, I just replaced it. Let's see

425
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:04,439
Speaker 1: here of four months ago. Pretty easy job, right. That

426
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:06,879
Speaker 1: would have been my moment to check timing chain, just

427
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 1: so you know, is that an interference engine lead run? No,

428
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:13,960
Speaker 1: not that I've ever not that I've ever come across

429
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 1: anything like that. I've never seen that. And if I'm

430
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:18,600
Speaker 1: not mistaken, that's a double. I believe that's going to

431
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 1: be a double roller chain. I'd have to go back

432
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 1: and look, but yeah, that should be a Yeah, they

433
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:26,040
Speaker 1: got fancy as time went on on some of these.

434
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:29,760
Speaker 1: And if that's a double roller, you know, if I'm

435
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:31,679
Speaker 1: gonna worry about the chain, I'm gonna worry about the

436
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:34,639
Speaker 1: rest of it. Um, you know, let's let's play what

437
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 1: if Steve. You want to play what if if the

438
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:40,480
Speaker 1: engine went bad? Would you put an engine in it? Absolutely?

439
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:42,840
Speaker 1: And then you know, I mean you can check it,

440
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:45,280
Speaker 1: you can go through the you know, check for for

441
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 1: chain stretch and you know, and I can tell you

442
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:50,159
Speaker 1: right at the top of my head it sounds like

443
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:51,960
Speaker 1: you've kept up on this. Now. One thing I want

444
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:55,160
Speaker 1: to caution you. It's a new Hampshire vehicle or maybe

445
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:57,280
Speaker 1: you've had the experience. Have you had the rusted brake

446
00:22:57,359 --> 00:23:01,800
Speaker 1: lines yet replaced them all? Uh? Let's see years above.

447
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:06,720
Speaker 1: I actually subbed that out to one of the local places.

448
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:09,880
Speaker 1: I'm glad they did it. Um yeah, yeah. I had

449
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:11,800
Speaker 1: the front end of the whole vehicle up replaced in

450
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:15,480
Speaker 1: the front diff with a donor out of the the junkyard.

451
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:18,359
Speaker 1: And unfortunately, and I guess this would be a lesson

452
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:20,960
Speaker 1: for all your other callers, UM, I had to get

453
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:24,520
Speaker 1: the vehicle up rather high, so I utilized to um

454
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:28,960
Speaker 1: you know, three ton jacks and some heavy duty um

455
00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 1: um like railroad ties. Well, it was damp during the summer,

456
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:36,120
Speaker 1: and as I was letting the vehicle down gently on

457
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 1: both sides evenly, the boards were wet damp, they slipped,

458
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:43,680
Speaker 1: the vehicle dropped and crunched a lot of the brake lines.

459
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:46,120
Speaker 1: It was a blessing in disguise because all the brake

460
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:48,320
Speaker 1: lines and the and a good part of the front

461
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:50,879
Speaker 1: end had all crusted out and rusted out. Yeah, and

462
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:54,040
Speaker 1: that's the you know, it's it's to the point now

463
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:56,000
Speaker 1: where before I put a vehicle on the road. The

464
00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:58,879
Speaker 1: last couple of years, anytime I changed something, and if

465
00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:03,320
Speaker 1: I take something apart, I've been painting vehicles. Um. I

466
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:06,440
Speaker 1: know it sounds crazy, but I you know, a matter

467
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:08,919
Speaker 1: of fact, I spent Friday because we're quiet now with

468
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:12,639
Speaker 1: the coronavirus pandemic, so the shops kind of quiet. So

469
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:14,880
Speaker 1: you know, Danny was off and I spent the day

470
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 1: quietly inside. I was painting the bottom side of the

471
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 1: Monte Carlo. I've got a seventy two Monty Carlo I'm

472
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:22,399
Speaker 1: putting back together, and you know, I spent I spent

473
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:26,000
Speaker 1: the day painting that um using Benjamin Moore low luster

474
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:29,560
Speaker 1: alkali paint, which is like they're zero rust. You can

475
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:31,120
Speaker 1: use it in a gun. You cut it. I cut

476
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:35,120
Speaker 1: it about five with a little lacquer thinner and um,

477
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:37,760
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. It'll stick the chicken feathers

478
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:40,639
Speaker 1: and you can bang on it with a hammer and

479
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:42,479
Speaker 1: it never comes off. So it's gonna be there. It's

480
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 1: probably gonna outlive me. And you know, I just I

481
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:49,320
Speaker 1: find that painting of vehicle seems to enhance the life.

482
00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 1: I did it. I did it to my last plow truck.

483
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:54,160
Speaker 1: I've done it to the suburban, my old four suburban.

484
00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:55,919
Speaker 1: I've got to know four version of what you have,

485
00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 1: except I have a suburban, not a Tahoe. I've only

486
00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:01,879
Speaker 1: got seventy two thousand mile on it. But um, you know,

487
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,399
Speaker 1: I when I did the trans four years ago or

488
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:07,040
Speaker 1: three years ago, when I had the trans out and

489
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:09,920
Speaker 1: the tunnel was exposed, I painted the whole floor pan, front,

490
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:13,400
Speaker 1: the back, painted the DIAF housing. And I find that

491
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:16,600
Speaker 1: I don't see rust coming up. The ranger has been done.

492
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:19,399
Speaker 1: You know, all the cars get done because rust is

493
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:21,960
Speaker 1: what kills these cars. When they did the brake lines

494
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 1: that they do, the one running along the frame rail

495
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 1: behind the gas tank. Yeah, they actually dropped the tank. Yeah,

496
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:31,280
Speaker 1: that's the way to do it. You know. Now I've

497
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:33,680
Speaker 1: got to tell you if if we're gonna pick pick

498
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:38,080
Speaker 1: on things that go bad? Bye bye Agent Mileage, Steve.

499
00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:42,880
Speaker 1: Do you ever do a fuel pump that was replaced?

500
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:46,359
Speaker 1: Also last I just got through paying off the truck

501
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:49,439
Speaker 1: about two years ago, and I've taken your advice. I

502
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:52,919
Speaker 1: don't want to go up and spend forty six thousand

503
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:55,800
Speaker 1: on a new UH truck and I fought it all

504
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 1: a truck payments. So this, you know, I think I've

505
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:00,560
Speaker 1: I've called your show before and I always give you

506
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:03,359
Speaker 1: this analogy list of hood you can cook, bake and

507
00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 1: the eggs off the block, right, and that's yeah, and

508
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:07,800
Speaker 1: that's you know, it's it's funny. It comes down to

509
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:09,879
Speaker 1: since per mile, I've got a great email and I

510
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:11,639
Speaker 1: won't to have time to read it this week. For

511
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:14,320
Speaker 1: Mattie goydas gyda's capital and he's a big listener to

512
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:16,240
Speaker 1: the show. Is he's he's a financial guy and he

513
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:18,760
Speaker 1: broke it down from me. He says, dollars and cents.

514
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:20,639
Speaker 1: This is why some people fix cars, and this is

515
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:22,359
Speaker 1: why people don't fix cars. I've got to find that

516
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:25,159
Speaker 1: email and read it. But it comes down to what

517
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:27,879
Speaker 1: you're saying now. The only other thing I would tell

518
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:29,840
Speaker 1: you to be aware of it that at that mileage

519
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:31,639
Speaker 1: and maybe you want to put one an inventory you

520
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:33,720
Speaker 1: can start looking for it is getting a C compressor

521
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:36,800
Speaker 1: and throw it on the shelf because they go bad too. Uh.

522
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:39,720
Speaker 1: That generation a C compressor because it's down low on

523
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:42,199
Speaker 1: the right side of the of the engine compartment, and

524
00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:44,600
Speaker 1: especially in New Hampshire, gets all the road slush and

525
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:47,440
Speaker 1: slop if the clutches looking beat up, and then the

526
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 1: system loyal drains down into it, especially in cold winters.

527
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:53,919
Speaker 1: Although you've got to fifty out of it. But you know,

528
00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:56,760
Speaker 1: I've got a specific pile of inventory at the shop

529
00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:59,160
Speaker 1: for the suburban things that I know that are gonna

530
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:02,720
Speaker 1: go bad eventual e that Unfortunately the mileage I go

531
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:07,520
Speaker 1: doesn't preclude or doesn't allow for, you know, proportionate replacement.

532
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:10,680
Speaker 1: By the time I need a compressor or a fuel pump,

533
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:14,560
Speaker 1: that'll probably be obsolete from general motors. So I've I've

534
00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:18,080
Speaker 1: started the stockpile certain things. But yeah, you know listen,

535
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:21,439
Speaker 1: go replace that tahoe. It's sixty five dollars, say that

536
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:24,280
Speaker 1: a couple of times. Um. And if you go buy

537
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:27,639
Speaker 1: a used one, I used one is you know, thirty

538
00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:31,000
Speaker 1: five thousand dollars say that a couple of times, you know,

539
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:33,520
Speaker 1: And that used one's got fifty thousand miles on it.

540
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:38,119
Speaker 1: So again it's a mindset. You know. Some people like

541
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:40,280
Speaker 1: a car payment. Some people don't want to take care

542
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:42,600
Speaker 1: of a car. They want to drive it until it drops.

543
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:44,880
Speaker 1: I've seen more than a few of those. And some

544
00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:46,760
Speaker 1: people want to stay on top of it because they

545
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:49,680
Speaker 1: take comfort and knowing. You know, there's a therapy to

546
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:51,359
Speaker 1: taking care of a car, Steve, I don't have to

547
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:54,119
Speaker 1: explain it to you. You know, there's there's there's something

548
00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:57,280
Speaker 1: about it makes you feel good and uh you know

549
00:27:57,359 --> 00:27:59,640
Speaker 1: it's it's it's what makes you a car person and

550
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:02,760
Speaker 1: um uh you know it gives you a sense of completeness.

551
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:07,160
Speaker 1: I think as a human being, it really does. So alright, sir, listen,

552

561
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:29,040

00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:31,320
Speaker 1: these kids win and I see him, you know, walk

569
00:28:48,360 --> 00:29:01,320
Speaker 1: We'll be back right after this. Welcome back, ran An

570
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:02,760
Speaker 1: into car doctor. I want to talk to you a

571
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:07,960
Speaker 1: real quick. Um you know some of the emails. Well, so, hey, Ron,

572
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:12,880
Speaker 1: I've got a two thousand and three Toyota Avalon that

573
00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:14,880
Speaker 1: I'm looking to repair the airbags and I want to

574
00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:19,280
Speaker 1: know if my phone app will diagnose and repair the

575
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:22,360
Speaker 1: car through the O B D two port. John, John

576
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 1: and and I get this question all the time. And

577
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:27,240
Speaker 1: John also asks if not, you know why not? And

578
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:29,720
Speaker 1: what sort of scan tool can I buy? Um, you've

579
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:33,600
Speaker 1: got to understand you're working on a car, all right.

580
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:37,600
Speaker 1: This is a complicated piece of equipment. It's it's technology.

581
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:41,880
Speaker 1: The phone app, phone app scan tools and some of

582
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:45,200
Speaker 1: the less expensive scan tools that do O b D

583
00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:48,320
Speaker 1: two protocol. That's all they will get into is the

584
00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:52,120
Speaker 1: O b D two language or side of the engine

585
00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:56,200
Speaker 1: control module. They won't do additional modules. Think of it

586
00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:59,560
Speaker 1: as languages, all right. And O b D two scan

587
00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:04,760
Speaker 1: tool only speaks O b D two, whereas a factory

588
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 1: level year, make model specific scan tool will speak multiple languages.

589
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:14,960
Speaker 1: It will speak English, French, Spanish and German and so on.

590
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 1: It will speak O b D two, it will speak

591
00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 1: engine controller from manufacturer, it will speak trans control module,

592
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:24,560
Speaker 1: it will speak air bag, it will speak trans controller

593
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:29,800
Speaker 1: and so on. Now you know you can't expect, and

594
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:32,120
Speaker 1: you know somebody will prove me wrong. Great, go ahead,

595
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:34,960
Speaker 1: you win. Um, you know that you can't expect to

596
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:37,560
Speaker 1: you as a cheap scan tool to repair a car.

597
00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:40,640
Speaker 1: Not every time. It doesn't work that way. So what

598
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:42,600
Speaker 1: you've got to think about is it's you want to

599
00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:44,600
Speaker 1: work on the car, you want to be a mechanic.

600
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:46,840
Speaker 1: You know, you want to do more than just plug

601
00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:49,520
Speaker 1: in get codes. You need something that reads data stream.

602
00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:52,200
Speaker 1: You need some special function capability. And I know you're

603
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:54,560
Speaker 1: gonna sit there and say, Ron, it's expensive. Guess what.

604
00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:58,480
Speaker 1: It's an expensive business. It's an expensive hobby if that's

605
00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:01,400
Speaker 1: what you're doing. All right, So you've got to find

606
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:03,240
Speaker 1: a scan tool that sort of fits your need. We've

607
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:05,360
Speaker 1: talked about this, you and I. You know, where can

608
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:07,320
Speaker 1: you go? What can you look at? I went out

609
00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:10,480
Speaker 1: and I searched Launched Tech Usa. You know, I'm gonna

Speaker 1: make no bones about it. We use Launch all the

611
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:15,240
Speaker 1: time in the shop. They've got some great stuff. They

00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:22,480
Speaker 1: And we're actually waiting. We're gonna cut a couple in

615

00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:27,240
Speaker 1: a way up here. Um, we can do that. Don't

617
00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:30,000
Speaker 1: don't start sending me letters about it yet. But my

618
00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:34,920
Speaker 1: point becomes, you can find reasonably priced scan tools. Launched

Speaker 1: now and um, you can find something there and it

622
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:44,080
Speaker 1: will work for you. But don't try fixing a car

623
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:46,800
Speaker 1: where you have to speak German and you go into

624
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:49,920
Speaker 1: it with a scan tool that only speaks English. All right.

625
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:52,880
Speaker 1: So if you're working on a trans controller, you've got

626
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:55,440
Speaker 1: to have a scan tool that fixes a trans controller

627
00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:58,920
Speaker 1: that speaks that language, that fixes the airbag. You've got

628
00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:00,960
Speaker 1: to have something that fixes an are a bad controller,

629
00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:03,600
Speaker 1: all right. So you know, don't try doing this the

630
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:05,840
Speaker 1: cheap way. Cheap only gets you in trouble when it

631
00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:09,280

00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:05,640
Speaker 1: and re listen to it again at your convenience. I

649
00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:08,040
Speaker 1: just want to talk real quickly before I go about

650
00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:10,800
Speaker 1: an emergency management kit for your vehicle. Uh, you know,

651
00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:13,560
Speaker 1: we're in two week four, maybe week six, depending upon

652
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:15,600
Speaker 1: where you are when you went into this lockdown thing,

653
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:19,000
Speaker 1: and um, you know your car has been sitting for

654
00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:21,400
Speaker 1: a while. I know a few family members that I'm

655
00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:23,200
Speaker 1: chasing around the block and now trying to get them

656
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:25,320
Speaker 1: to drive their cars, take them out for a ride.

657
00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:27,920
Speaker 1: And you know they're gonna have rusty brake rotors, and

658
00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:30,479
Speaker 1: you're gonna have issues with batteries, and you may have

659
00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:32,960
Speaker 1: dead batteries and so on. So I went on the

660
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:35,800
Speaker 1: Orailly Ooto Parts website. Get out to orillyoto dot com.

661
00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:38,440
Speaker 1: You'll find everything I'm talking about, all right. You know,

662
00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:41,200
Speaker 1: obviously you know if you don't have a set and

663
00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:43,200
Speaker 1: in the case that you do, and in times like this,

664
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:45,560
Speaker 1: you want to be prepared for an emergency. It wouldn't

665
00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:47,440
Speaker 1: hurt to have a set of jumper cables, all right,

666
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:50,080
Speaker 1: jumper cables or old school they require you to have

667
00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:53,440
Speaker 1: another vehicle around so that you can jump from something

668
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:56,440
Speaker 1: to something. But you know, it's it's not a bad idea.

669
00:33:56,640 --> 00:33:59,320
Speaker 1: Better than a set of jumper cables would either be

670
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:02,440
Speaker 1: a battery re jump pack. I've talked about that from

671
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:04,600
Speaker 1: time to time. That you know, there are certain jump

672
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:06,360
Speaker 1: packs out there. I happen to like the one from

673
00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:09,680
Speaker 1: micro Start, the XP ten that's not on the Oraillyoto

674
00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:13,400
Speaker 1: parts website or o'reillyoto dot com, but you can find

675
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:16,240
Speaker 1: them elsewhere. But O'Reilly otto also has their own version

676
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:19,759
Speaker 1: of battery jump pax to uh keep in mind, maybe

677
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:23,279
Speaker 1: a battery tender and I saw those at o'rallyoto dot com.

678
00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:26,320
Speaker 1: You will see battery tenders that maybe it prevents the

679
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:28,120
Speaker 1: battery from going then in the first place, and the

680
00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:30,400
Speaker 1: vehicle has been sitting. A battery tender is a great idea.

681
00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:33,759
Speaker 1: Right now, we talk about this k seal, you know,

682
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:36,800
Speaker 1: k seal is a great thing on an older vehicle

683
00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:39,520
Speaker 1: or a newer vehicle to having the glove compartment is

684
00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:43,920
Speaker 1: a cooling system leak preventative or it's a cooling system

685
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:46,680
Speaker 1: leak repair item that it will prevent the leak from

686
00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:49,720
Speaker 1: becoming a bigger one. Maybe your mechanics not open. Maybe

687
00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:51,920
Speaker 1: he's not around as much as he was. Maybe your

688
00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:54,760
Speaker 1: vehicle from sitting has developed some rust and scale issues,

689
00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:57,040
Speaker 1: and you know what, the first time you take it out,

690
00:34:57,760 --> 00:34:59,479
Speaker 1: maybe you're gonna have a problem. I hope you don't,

691
00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:02,560
Speaker 1: but just just thinking ahead, a ten fifteen dollar bottle

692
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:05,000
Speaker 1: of k seal in the glove compartment might alleviate some

693
00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:07,200
Speaker 1: of the issues. Take a look at the wiper blades

694
00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:08,960
Speaker 1: all right by the way. More info at k seal

695
00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:11,080
Speaker 1: dot com. Take a look at the wiper blades. Are

696
00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:13,800
Speaker 1: they dry, rotted and beat up? Think about tire pressure,

697
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:15,920
Speaker 1: Think about fluids and oil. Think about a can of

698
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:18,040
Speaker 1: Barryman before you take that car out for a long

699
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:20,839
Speaker 1: summer's ride. We're all getting their, folks. We'll get through

700
00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:23,120
Speaker 1: it together till the next time I'm Ronanindy in the

701
00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:25,520
Speaker 1: car doctor reminding each and every one of you. Good

702
00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:28,320
Speaker 1: mechanics aren't expensive, They're priceless. See u
