Speaker 1: but boy, this just frosts me. All right. The thing

3
00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:09,959
Speaker 1: that really amazes me is all the car manufacturers talk

4
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:12,799
Speaker 1: about extending the oil change interval, and then we're going

5
00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:14,280
Speaker 1: to tell you that as a result, the oil is

6
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:17,239
Speaker 1: dirty and now you gotta flush it. Hello, holding down

7
00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:20,920

Speaker 1: here to educate you on not what I saw twelve

31
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,960
Speaker 1: years ago, but what I saw twelve years ago, twelve

32
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 1: days ago and this past week in the shop. This

33
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:42,040
Speaker 1: radio show is here to show you the changing automobile

34
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:44,400
Speaker 1: and how it continues to evolve. So if you don't

35
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 1: like that thing out in the driveway, if you've got

36
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 1: a problem taking it to your mechanic, stay where you

37
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 1: are for the next hour and let me see if

38
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 1: we can educate you up a little bit and make

39
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 1: you feel comfortable talking to your mechanic at a one

40
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 1: on one level and empower you to take that car,

41
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 1: take the wheel by the horns and where it's gotta go.

42
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 1: Some tools in a repair shop are good for more

43
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 1: than one thing, but they do that one thing really well,

44
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 1: Andre's a regular customer at Ariotomotive. He drives an older

45
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 1: Buick Century and he came in about three weeks ago

46
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 1: for four tires and a wheel alignment. Nice job, pretty

47
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 1: good work if you can get it right, straightforward, mounted,

48
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 1: balanced tires aligned down the road.

49
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 2: It went.

50
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 1: Good job until three days later the phone rang. Andre

51
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 1: had a problem. The left rear let me say it

52
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 1: like this, the left rear new tire had only about

53
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,959
Speaker 1: twenty four pounds of air in it. He stopped by

54
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 1: and well, to my surprise, he was right. Now, you've

55
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 1: got to understand why I was surprised. Tire pressure gets

56
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 1: checked two times before it leaves us in a scenario

57
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 1: like this, sometimes it gets checked three. The tires get

58
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 1: checked once when they're mounted at the machine, they get

59
00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:00,519
Speaker 1: checked on the car, and in Andre's case, got checked

60
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 1: three times because we also did an alignment, and we

61
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,679
Speaker 1: always check tire pressure before the alignment as a matter

62
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 1: of fact, because it has to come off one rack

63
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:10,080
Speaker 1: go on the other into the other bay a little

64
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 1: later on in the day, and we always just take

65
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 1: that extra step just to be sure. And it's done

66
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 1: with three different gauges because you never know, you never

67
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 1: know when one gauge is gonna become a problem. You've

68
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 1: really got to be a fiend about tire pressure today.

69
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:25,079
Speaker 1: So it really was kind of a surprise to see

70
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 1: that what Andre saw. Yeah, it was twenty four pounds

71
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 1: of air in the left rear tire. But it's new,

72
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 1: how could that be. One of my favorite tools in

73
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 1: the shop is the tire tank. You know what the

74
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 1: tire tank is. It's that big metal tub. Now they're

75
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 1: made out of plastic. I still have one made out

76
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 1: of metal from the forties and the fifties. That and

77
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 1: not that I was there to get it, folks, It's

78
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 1: just I sort of inherited it when we bought the

79
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 1: building many years ago.

80
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 2: You know.

81
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 1: We fill it up with water and you put the

82
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 1: tire in it, you look for leaks. And I love

83
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 1: the tire tank. To me, it's the best tool in

84
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 1: the shop. It's the most scientific. It's the simplest because

85
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 1: it never ever lies. Tell you everything. You put thirty

86
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 1: five pounds of air in a tire, stick it in

87
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 1: the tank, go slow and rotate it around. It's a

88
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 1: yes or no, definitive black and white answer. It's got

89
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 1: a leak or it doesn't. All right, The tire tank

90
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 1: is the most honest tool in the shop. You can

91
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 1: put big tires in it, you can put small tires

92
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:25,039
Speaker 1: in it. It's non discriminatory, all right. Anything with hot

93
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:27,360
Speaker 1: air you put it in that tank, it's going to

94
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 1: show you the leak. You could put every member of

95
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 1: Congress in the tire tank and sooner or later they'd

96
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 1: give it up and tell you where the problem is.

97
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,359
Speaker 1: And I know it's tempting sometimes, but then again, this

98
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 1: isn't a political show. But the tank does its job,

99
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 1: and it did. It didn't let me down because a

100
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 1: few seconds in the water and there was a small

101
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 1: little trail of bubbles between the tire beat and the rim,

102
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 1: A rim leak or a bad new tire. Which one

103
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 1: was it? Well, we all know what new means, right,

104
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 1: ever worked, And in this case, after I dismounted the

105
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 1: tire and looked, I marked the spot and looked exactly

106
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:10,600
Speaker 1: where I had seen the bubbles. Now somewhere in the

107
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 1: factory the tire manufacturer Cooper, as it turned out in

108
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 1: this case, decided to mount a little barcode label. And

109
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:21,279
Speaker 1: I've never noticed it prior to this, because well it

110
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 1: hasn't been a problem. But in this case it was

111
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:26,360
Speaker 1: because that barcode label that told them part number and

112
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 1: where the tire was made, and all the build information

113
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,160
Speaker 1: was mounted right on the bead where it seals against

114
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 1: the rim. As a matter of fact, I looked at

115
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,919
Speaker 1: some other tires we had an inventory a lot of

116
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 1: the manufacturers, if not I can say all the manufacturers

117
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 1: I had on the lot that day are mounting the

118
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:47,040
Speaker 1: UPC code on the bead where it mounts and seals

119
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:51,359
Speaker 1: against the rim. I'm thinking, here's a genius IDEA funny

120
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:54,559
Speaker 1: thing is we haven't had a problem with it until

121
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 1: Andre's car peeled the label off, looked at the rim.

122
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:02,280
Speaker 1: The rim was autbsolutely spotless, clean, put it back together.

123
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 1: Problem solved. The bottom line, it doesn't matter whether it's

124
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,600
Speaker 1: new or old. It doesn't matter how big or small

125
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:13,920
Speaker 1: it is. It doesn't matter how complicated it is. Every

126
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 1: job on a repair shop floor has a purpose, Every

127
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:22,799
Speaker 1: job has a reason. Every job needs a specific tool

128
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 1: because it's just gotten to be that complicated of a vehicle,

129
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 1: even if it's something as simple as a tire tank.

130
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:31,600
Speaker 1: Because as I've seen in many shops, they'll stand there

131
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 1: with a bottle of soapy water and a spray bottle

132
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,279
Speaker 1: and just keep spraying until they see the leak. I

133
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 1: don't know that you would have seen the leak with

134
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,920
Speaker 1: this truth be told. We had be tested the leak

135
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 1: prior to see if we could didn't see it. I said,

136
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 1: you know what, let's stop, Let's just get to the chase,

137
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:49,239
Speaker 1: Let's pull the tire off, and let's look for the leaks,

138
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 1: because that's really where this is at. So it really

139
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 1: comes down to the most honest tool in the shop.

140
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 1: I think it's the tire tank. It's the simplest and

141
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 1: it just works best with the least amount of moving parts,

142
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:06,039
Speaker 1: water and a tank. I love my tire tank. Hello

Speaker 1: Harry's a little under the weather today, So if you

158
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 1: do call in, you're gonna talk to Big Tom Ray.

159
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 1: And I've got number one guy Tony atwood Man on

160
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 1: the board, and right now I'm gonna tell Tony, let's

161
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 1: open the garage doors, let's open the phone lines up

162
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 1: and talk to Jesse and New Orleans about a two

163
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 1: thousand and six Chevy Silverado and some problems with the

164
00:07:57,920 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 1: air conditioning. Jesse, Welcome to the car doctor. How can

165
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 1: I help sir?

166
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 4: Oh, thanks for taking a call.

167
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 1: You're welcome.

168
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, my old sixth Overado never had any problems with anything,

169
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 4: and about several times in the last month on a

170
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 4: story start up in the morning, I put Dacey on

171
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 4: and take off and the first thing, you know, there's

172
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 4: no cool ass all hot, right, So I checked my

173
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 4: stat you know, dashboard, make sure, everything's right. So I

174
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 4: just turned it off, hoping the window and like maybe

175
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:37,560
Speaker 4: go to the drug store or something to come out.

176
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 4: Put it on and it works, Okay. I just wanted

177
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 4: them something that something, a sign of something to come.

178
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:49,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, And the first place I'd start here, Jesse, and

179
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 1: I say this because if we were at the shop,

180
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 1: the way I'd approach this is the first thing I

181
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 1: tell you, Even if I can't see the problem, the

182
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 1: most important step in this diagnosis is to pull codes

183
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 1: out of the vehicle. And I want to clarify that

184
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 1: I know the check engine light's not on, That's not

185
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:09,840
Speaker 1: what I'm talking about. You know, vehicles today set fault

186
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:14,679
Speaker 1: codes for a multitude of systems for a multitude of reasons. So,

187
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 1: for example, there could be a P zero five point

188
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 1: thirty fault code in this vehicle, which has to do

189
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 1: with the air conditioning system, and you know that has

190
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 1: to do with one of the AC pressure sensors. And

191
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 1: if that's setting a fault and coming up, we could

192
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:34,200
Speaker 1: have a pressure sensor that's that's intermittent, and that's the

193
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 1: computer doing its job. It worked, it didn't work, it

194
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 1: set a fault code, and now it worked again. And

195
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 1: now the mechanics got to go in and retrieve that

196
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 1: code and begin that part of the diagnosis. So you know,

197
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:49,440
Speaker 1: I would start with a code scan regardless that there's

198
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:54,080
Speaker 1: no dashlights on, because this could be you know, let's

199
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 1: extrapulate it. Okay, there are no fault codes. Now we've

200
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 1: got to find the reason why there's a relay involved.

201
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:02,479
Speaker 1: This could be a weak field coil on the compressor

202
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 1: itself having a fault. We've got to look at the

203
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 1: air gap. This could be any one of a number

204
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 1: of pressure switchers and sensors. But yeah, you've got a fault.

205
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 1: The easiest way is catch it in the act. If

206
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 1: they can't catch it in the act, then they're gonna

207
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 1: have to start to set up some mouse traps as

208
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:21,320
Speaker 1: I like to think of them, along the way that

209
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 1: they can tell, well, the electricity's gotten here, but it

210
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 1: hasn't gotten there. And one of the ways I tell

211
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 1: people to do that is you ever change a sidemarker

212
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 1: bulb in a car Jesse, small little two wire bulb, Right,

213
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:39,440
Speaker 1: And what I'll do is I'll look at a wiring

214
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:41,560
Speaker 1: diagram and I'll say, let's see, i've got a switch.

215
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,720
Speaker 1: I've got power. I've got a switch, I've got a control,

216
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:48,720
Speaker 1: I've got a component, and I've got a sensor. Let's see.

217
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 1: If I knew that electricity was getting to hear, then

218
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 1: that's half the system. So I always try to go

219
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 1: to the middle of the wiring diagram, and in a

220
00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:01,560
Speaker 1: lot of cases, I'll wire in a bulb. I'll just

221
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 1: wire in. I'll just go look a out a parts

222
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 1: store and just buy a one ninety four sidemark or

223
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:09,080
Speaker 1: bulb and socket and wire it in. And hey, listen, Jesse,

224
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:12,560
Speaker 1: go for a rude come back. Tell me when the

225
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 1: AC didn't work. Tell me if the bulb worked or not. Jesse,

226
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 1: You'll tell me. Hey Ron, you know the bullblit up? Okay,

227
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 1: then I'm gonna move it a little further down the

228
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 1: line and let me get to here. Do I have

229
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 1: power at the compressor? Hey Ron, I've got power at

230
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:26,200
Speaker 1: the compressor. The bull blit up? You know what, Jesse,

231
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:28,480
Speaker 1: You've got an intermittent field coil on the AC compressor

232
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 1: And I never even drove the truck, right, you know,

233
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 1: easiest simplest way to do it.

234
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:38,080
Speaker 4: Okay, Well, well that's probably not something I can do.

235
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:40,320
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean, it's something you're gonna have to

236
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 1: but you know you can get it right, bring it

237
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 1: in and let the guy in. You know what mentioned

238
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 1: to the guy, Hey, can you scan the AC compressor

239
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:49,839
Speaker 1: or the AC system for fault codes? And if the

240
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 1: guy looks at you and you can see his eyes

241
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 1: roll around in his head, he's probably not the guy

242
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 1: to do the job, because a lot of guys don't

243
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:58,760
Speaker 1: realize that there's codes in more than just the onboard

244
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:02,720
Speaker 1: engine computer. All right, Sirry listen, Jesse, I'm here for you.

245
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:05,720
Speaker 1: Thank you, sir, You're very welcome. A five five, five, six, nine,

246
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 1: one hundred. I'm ronning any in the Car Doctor, the

247
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:24,720
Speaker 1: one and only original, and I'll be back right after this.

248
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 4: Gars out back all.

249
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:40,680
Speaker 1: Hey, welcome back, run on any in the car Doctor.

250
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:43,440
Speaker 1: I want to point out next week on the card doctor,

251
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:46,200
Speaker 1: we're going to be cracking open the gift door Clauset.

252
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 1: We're giving away a fifty dollars gift card from the

253
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 1: nice folks at Auto Zone. We were talking with them

254
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 1: over the past couple of weeks and they're going to

255
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 1: be giving away a fifty dollars gift card. Here on

256
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:57,959
Speaker 1: the card doctor, and and and part of their thought processes,

257
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:01,560
Speaker 1: they'd like to, you know, dedicate towards break hardware. It's

258
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:04,680
Speaker 1: good for whatever your heart desires at any AutoZone that

259
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 1: fifty dollars gift card. But keep in mind that if

260
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 1: you're doing a break job, break repair pads, rotors or

261
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 1: rear breaks, shoes and those kinds of things, break hardware

262
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 1: is sort of like the Rodney danger field of auto repairs,

263
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 1: the least respected, and it's kind of misunderstood and often neglected.

264
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:23,240
Speaker 1: So think break hardware when you think that fifty dollars

265
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 1: gift card. Think break hardware when you walk into any

266
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:28,679
Speaker 1: auto parts store, especially in AutoZone, and consider that part

267
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:31,560
Speaker 1: of your next break job break repair to do a good,

268
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 1: safe one. When you do breaks, do it completely. Let's

269
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 1: get over and talk to Paul Staunton, Virginia wants to

270
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,679
Speaker 1: talk about top tier gasoline and let's see what's going

271
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:42,440
Speaker 1: on here. Paul, greetings from the North. How are you, sir?

272
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:45,959
Speaker 1: All right? Oh, not bad? What's going on?

273
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 2: Well, you've spoken in the past of top tier gases,

274
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 2: and of course there are a few that everybody knows,

275
00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:01,320
Speaker 2: and then there are some that, uh, I'm not sure

276
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 2: if they are or not considered considered to be that,

277
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:11,719
Speaker 2: and I had gotten some Uh, there's a couple of

278
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 2: gas stations in the area that claim at least to

279
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 2: not havingny F at all, which I don't know. It's

280
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 2: it's said to be a problem for for some vehicles,

281
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 2: more so on the older ones than the newer ones.

282
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 2: And uh, anyway, and then of course the question of

283
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 2: my mind is they say it's that's an all free.

284
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 1: How do I.

285
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 2: Really know that?

286
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:40,480
Speaker 1: Well, and check it?

287
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 2: Yes, And and then that also is not one of

288
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 2: the quote unquote top tier, so you know they're there.

289
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 2: You maybe say, well, okay, it's if it is, that's

290
00:14:56,360 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 2: all free, but then again it's not top tiers. So

291
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 2: how much better is it if it is at all

292
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:06,040
Speaker 2: or maybe not as good?

293
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 1: Well, let me let me let me answer it like this, Paul,

294
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 1: I don't know that top tier gasoline is ethanol free.

295
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 1: The problem that, let let's go back and start at

296
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:19,960
Speaker 1: the beginning. Top tier gasoline came about because the EPA

297
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 1: is mandating that gasoline retailers reduced the amount of detergent

298
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:27,280
Speaker 1: additive in their gasoline, in some cases by up to

299
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 1: fifty percent. So the problem becomes that, and what the

300
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 1: EPA is chasing is emissions, all right. The car company

301
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 1: is chasing performance and trying to reduce carbon deposits. So

302
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 1: you know, on one hand, the government's saying stop doing this,

303
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 1: and on the other hand, the car makers are saying,

304
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 1: but we have to do that in order to manufacture

305
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 1: a vehicle and sell it here in the United States

306
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 1: and stay in business. So there's got to be some

307
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 1: sort of happy compromise. And that's really where top tier

308
00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 1: detergent gasoline comes in. Top tier gasoline, to my understanding,

309
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 1: is not necessarily whether it's ethanol free or not. It's

310
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 1: the amount of detergent additive that is placed in the

311
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 1: gasoline to help combat carbon deposits and engine deposits in general.

312
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 1: So that being said, the only way you're going to

313
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:21,400
Speaker 1: know for sure whether it's a top tier detergent gasoline

314
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 1: or not is either get out to top tiergas dot com,

315
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 1: which is the national website for top tier gasoline, and

316
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 1: look up the retailer there and see if it's listed,

317
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 1: or to log into, for example, an aftermarket or a

318
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 1: manufacturer specific service information system and look at the bulletins

319
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 1: and say, because they've all got bulletins on it.

320
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 4: Well, not all.

321
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 1: It's BMW, General Motors, Honda, Toyota, Volkswagen, Mercedes, Benzanaudi are

322
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 1: the seven that are trying to create this top tier mandate,

323
00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 1: and they're dealing with it head on by themselves. But

324
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:03,680
Speaker 1: you know, if you look in their systems, they're going

325
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:06,280
Speaker 1: to say, hey, top tier gaessolinge is available from and

326
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:09,679
Speaker 1: and go down the list X y Z and it's

327
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:14,920
Speaker 1: But to my knowledge, I haven't heard that ethanol free

328
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:19,480
Speaker 1: automatically makes it a top tier gasoline. That's a different conversation.

329
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:24,200
Speaker 2: Right, think, Uh, these stations in this area that are

330
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 2: claiming to be ethanol three are definitely not top tier

331
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 2: because they're there are brands that you don't see nationwide

332
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:35,439
Speaker 2: or even or even statewide.

333
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:38,639
Speaker 1: Right, Well, give me, give me the name of the

334
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:39,960
Speaker 1: give me the name of the station, Give me the

335
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:42,480
Speaker 1: name of the retailer. Who is it? Is it a brand?

336
00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:48,400
Speaker 2: Well, one is it's the it's from the co op.
