Eight seven 54 00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,000 Speaker 1: four O'Connell and Chris. Welcome to the car doctor, sir, 55 00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:33,960 Speaker 1: How can I help? Hey, how's it going? Yeah? So 56 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:38,520 Speaker 1: we did uh plugs and wires and valve cover gaskets 57 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:40,359 Speaker 1: on my van and when we pulled the valve covers off, 58 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,280 Speaker 1: there was a tune of sludge underneath there, and I 59 00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:45,799 Speaker 1: cleaned up the valve covers, but we didn't really want 60 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,640 Speaker 1: to mess with it. Um that Actually, we tried to 61 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:53,399 Speaker 1: clean off some of the sludge on the whatever. Um 62 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,120 Speaker 1: And what we didn't do too much is so we 63 00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:57,680 Speaker 1: didn't want to going back down to the engine because 64 00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:01,400 Speaker 1: I'm moving to Arizona. And but what like when I 65 00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:03,600 Speaker 1: get down there, what's like the best because I seen 66 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:06,680 Speaker 1: like ste foam and all the different types of sludge removers, 67 00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 1: what's like the best way to remove sludge out of 68 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:15,639 Speaker 1: the engine? Which which engine is this? Chris V eight? S? Yeah, 69 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:21,240 Speaker 1: it's the V eight. So my concern whenever I feel 70 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 1: this call and whenever I see it in the shop, 71 00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:25,919 Speaker 1: is you're exactly right, where's the sludge gonna go? And 72 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:30,120 Speaker 1: and what's it gonna do? My concern is breaking sludge 73 00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:34,239 Speaker 1: loosen and engine can create issues, particularly clogging the oil 74 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:38,040 Speaker 1: pump screen and creating oil starvation problems. But driving it, 75 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:41,000 Speaker 1: depending upon how sludgy it is, may become a problem too. 76 00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 1: So you know you're you started between the rock and 77 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 1: the hard place. I tell everybody start start mildly, all right. 78 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 1: You know you want to do a mild cleaner and 79 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 1: you want to do it over time. Doing it gently 80 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 1: over time is better than doing the hard costic, you know, 81 00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 1: trying to do it the quick approach. If we're gonna 82 00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:59,720 Speaker 1: have a conversation about the quick approach and the one 83 00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:01,640 Speaker 1: that's them. Guys actually hate me for it because every 84 00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,200 Speaker 1: time I mentioned it, they think I'm just flat out nuts. 85 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:07,120 Speaker 1: But I'll tell you it works. Is drained down some 86 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,600 Speaker 1: of the engine oil. Put a quarter of break fluid 87 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:11,920 Speaker 1: in the engine. A quarter of break fluid in the engine. 88 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 1: You heard me, right, break fluid. You know why they 89 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,279 Speaker 1: say don't let break fluid hit the paint on the 90 00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:18,880 Speaker 1: car because it'll take the paint off. Trust me, it will. 91 00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:22,839 Speaker 1: It's it's the most caustic thing on the planet, all right, 92 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:26,359 Speaker 1: Uh you know it's it's I always explain it like 93 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:30,440 Speaker 1: this break fluid in an engine. Is that's Deacon one, baby, 94 00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:33,440 Speaker 1: that's where you know? Or is it Deacon five. I'm 95 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 1: not sure which end of the scale is it's. It's 96 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,280 Speaker 1: it's like, we really think we've got no other way 97 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,760 Speaker 1: to solve this, and we're gonna just roll the dice. 98 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:45,680 Speaker 1: The danger is all right. Obviously, break fluid is not 99 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:49,120 Speaker 1: rated for an engine. It can't affect gaskets and seals. 100 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 1: I've never actually had it affect anything I've done. I've 101 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:54,760 Speaker 1: never had a report from anyone that affected anything they did. 102 00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:58,080 Speaker 1: But I know how caustic break fluid is and The 103 00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:01,480 Speaker 1: other concern I've got is putting all that sludge into 104 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:05,240 Speaker 1: the pan. All right, it's got to go somewhere. And 105 00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 1: can it clog the oil pump screen. I've never had 106 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 1: that happen, but you know it's just listen, we all 107 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:12,919 Speaker 1: gotta put on our big boy pants and we got 108 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,960 Speaker 1: to talk for really all right. Now, I'm not saying 109 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:19,479 Speaker 1: drive it with break fluid in it. It's you know, no, 110 00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,119 Speaker 1: it's it's it's drained out some of the engine oil. 111 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:24,200 Speaker 1: Put a quarter break fluid in it, you know, bring 112 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,200 Speaker 1: it up the level and let it sit there and run. 113 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:29,560 Speaker 1: And when I say run, oh you know half a day. 114 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,039 Speaker 1: All right, I'm talking about letting it idle four or 115 00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,920 Speaker 1: five six hours, shutting it off and as fast as 116 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,200 Speaker 1: you can get under there, you know, drop the oil 117 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 1: and let the oil just sit there and drain fill 118 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:41,520 Speaker 1: it up again with fresh oil and maybe do it 119 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:47,560 Speaker 1: one more time. See what comes out. All right, go ahead, 120 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:51,240 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, go ahead, I'm gonna because my my mechanic friend, 121 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 1: what I want to do is is when I get 122 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,880 Speaker 1: down to Arizona is um, I'd actually like to remove 123 00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:00,080 Speaker 1: the oil pan, do the seals on that, and and 124 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:01,839 Speaker 1: you know, I was thinking on when I do that, 125 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,400 Speaker 1: then you know, like do the you know, like you 126 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:08,360 Speaker 1: were saying, break fluid and then you know, let it 127 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:10,599 Speaker 1: run for like you know, an hour or two like that, 128 00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:14,279 Speaker 1: just idling and then you know, drop the oil pan, 129 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 1: clean out everything, do that like you know, maybe two 130 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 1: or three times. You gotta do it. Gotta do it 131 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:21,680 Speaker 1: longer than an hour. You want to do it at 132 00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 1: least three or four hours. You know, you want to 133 00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:27,640 Speaker 1: it's it's caustic stuff now now, and that's fine. Now 134 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,919 Speaker 1: in the interim, any one of the commercially acceptable cleaners 135 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,520 Speaker 1: on the market that you know, claiming they're gonna help 136 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:36,120 Speaker 1: remove sludge and varnished, that's not the worst idea either 137 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:39,520 Speaker 1: to try that. Now this this three try to remember 138 00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 1: three fifty one in eight seven the distributors in the front, correct, Yeah, 139 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:47,119 Speaker 1: all right, so to do this that means the oil 140 00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:50,080 Speaker 1: pump is in the front. To do this, you know, 141 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:52,480 Speaker 1: just be aware, you know the back when we used 142 00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:54,479 Speaker 1: to do more of these. You need a couple of 143 00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 1: two by four's. You're gonna take the bolts out, the 144 00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:00,240 Speaker 1: cross bolts out for the motor mounts, lift the motor up, 145 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,520 Speaker 1: put the two by fours between the motor mounts and 146 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,359 Speaker 1: the frame pads. That I'll give you the clearance to 147 00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:08,400 Speaker 1: get the pan down usually, all right, take the take 148 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 1: the starter out. You may have to take off the 149 00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:13,400 Speaker 1: fan shroud, and sometimes it's easier to take the fan off, 150 00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:15,760 Speaker 1: you know, just to get the lift to get the height. 151 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:20,480 Speaker 1: The ugly part of this job is dealing with the 152 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:24,480 Speaker 1: oil pump, all right, So your elbow has to bend 153 00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:27,520 Speaker 1: in four directions at once, all right, because you're kind 154 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:30,320 Speaker 1: of working, you know, it's it's ugly, dude. You're not 155 00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 1: going to clear the oil pan out of the truck 156 00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:36,440 Speaker 1: with the oil pump in the vehicle, all right, attached 157 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:38,680 Speaker 1: to the engine. So you've got to You've got to 158 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,840 Speaker 1: go after the oil pump screws that hold it to 159 00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:43,720 Speaker 1: the block. If memory serves me, right, and it's been 160 00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,720 Speaker 1: a while, baby five eights or eleven sixteens, it should 161 00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:49,560 Speaker 1: be a standard head bolt. All right, you're gonna you're 162 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:52,880 Speaker 1: gonna undo the oil pump. Let it fall into the pan, 163 00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:57,760 Speaker 1: all right. Now there's a connecting rod there that you 164 00:07:57,800 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 1: know there there's a ever ever go to a Chinese restaurant. 165 00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,240 Speaker 1: Chinese handcuffs. You know, you put your finger, you know 166 00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 1: in the two right, there's like a Chinese handcuff there 167 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:09,400 Speaker 1: that connects the oil pump drive shaft to the oil pump. Alright, 168 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,800 Speaker 1: you want to make sure you pull that down. So 169 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:15,360 Speaker 1: the oil pump is a stub coming out of the 170 00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:18,880 Speaker 1: oil pump as a stub shift maybe oh maybe an 171 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,840 Speaker 1: inch long, if that all right, But there's a four 172 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,240 Speaker 1: and a half almost five in shift going up to 173 00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:26,560 Speaker 1: the bottom of the distributor because the distributor drives the 174 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:29,240 Speaker 1: oil pump. If when you pull the oil pump down 175 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:32,240 Speaker 1: you've still got the long four inch shaft attached to 176 00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:35,160 Speaker 1: the pump, You're you're never gonna get the pump out. 177 00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:36,600 Speaker 1: You're gonna go what's going on here? And you're gonna 178 00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:38,480 Speaker 1: get frustrated because you're up in the air. There's oil 179 00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:40,960 Speaker 1: in your eyes, all right, You're you're getting splashed, and 180 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:43,880 Speaker 1: you know it's a mess. So the pump has to 181 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:47,439 Speaker 1: drop into the pan and the the drive tang has 182 00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:53,640 Speaker 1: to stay in attached to the distributor. Sometimes, all right, sometimes, 183 00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:57,280 Speaker 1: if memory serves me right, we will pull the distributor. 184 00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:58,600 Speaker 1: It's been a while since I did one of these 185 00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,520 Speaker 1: these do this quite often. I'm pretty sure. You pull 186 00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:03,840 Speaker 1: the distributor if you want to go that route, you 187 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:07,600 Speaker 1: can pull that shaft out that way and then drop 188 00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:09,760 Speaker 1: the pan, drop the pump down into the pan so 189 00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:11,640 Speaker 1: you don't have the confusion, and then when you go 190 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:13,920 Speaker 1: to put it in, you're gonna have to load the 191 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:17,000 Speaker 1: oil pan with the pump. Put it in. Then before 192 00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 1: you bolt the pan up, get the pump into place, 193 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:23,520 Speaker 1: bolted up, and then bolt up the pan. All right. 194 00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:27,360 Speaker 1: So this is a job where if you're gonna use 195 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:30,480 Speaker 1: cork gaskets, cork and rubber in the front, it's a 196 00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:34,319 Speaker 1: great idea to glue the cork gasket to the bottom 197 00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:38,600 Speaker 1: of the block, all right. And when we glue this job, 198 00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:42,640 Speaker 1: headliner spray. Alright. Three M makes it. You'll find it 199 00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,520 Speaker 1: at a local otal parts store. O'Reilly Oto Parts will 200 00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:48,640 Speaker 1: have it, I'm sure, but they'll make a headliner or 201 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:52,640 Speaker 1: a super glue for interior work. But it's an aerosol spray. 202 00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:56,200 Speaker 1: We actually clean the block real good. Spray the gasket, 203 00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:58,960 Speaker 1: spray the block. It's a context cement. Give it a 204 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:01,000 Speaker 1: couple of minutes to a set up and then just 205 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:04,240 Speaker 1: right in place. It'll stay right there. You can r 206 00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:06,120 Speaker 1: TV the seal right to the cover and right to 207 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:08,079 Speaker 1: the back of the oil pan hump. And this way, 208 00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:09,960 Speaker 1: when you're putting the pan up, there's no gasket that's 209 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,200 Speaker 1: gonna fall in, and you just up and then you 210 00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:16,160 Speaker 1: go all right, So yeah, that's the deal, all right, sir, 211 00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:19,840 Speaker 1: all right, yeah, thank you. You're very welcome. Chris. If 212 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:21,440 Speaker 1: you've got any other questions, you know where to find me, 213 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:23,920 Speaker 1: and the good luck. Be careful using the brake fluid. 214 00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,240 Speaker 1: It's cost to try that as a last result, and 215 00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:29,360 Speaker 1: I have a nice trip to Arizona. Five zero nine 216 00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:31,440 Speaker 1: zero zero running any of the car doctor coming back 217 00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:38,439 Speaker 1: to answer your question right after this from East Coast 218 00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,600 Speaker 1: Lair fixing all your car problems. Here's wrong, give him 219 00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:47,600 Speaker 1: the zero zero zero. I was driving down to the 220 00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:52,560 Speaker 1: chiropractor this morning and I noticed that, you know, some 221 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:54,960 Speaker 1: of you are distracted in the way that you're driving. 222 00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:57,000 Speaker 1: More a lot of you are distracted in the way 223 00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,119 Speaker 1: that you're driving, and I'm wondering if it's the devices 224 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:03,320 Speaker 1: they're doing it. Anthony Emilio are one of our listeners 225 00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:06,800 Speaker 1: from Chicago, wrote a letter to me. Hey, ron I 226 00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:09,839 Speaker 1: purchased a Toyota Highlander because it sits higher and it's 227 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,280 Speaker 1: easier to see and has cross traffic alert, great when 228 00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:15,400 Speaker 1: backing out of a parking space, blind spot mirror, dynamic 229 00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:18,800 Speaker 1: cruise controlled and lane control alert. As I get older, 230 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:20,400 Speaker 1: my sensors are not what they used to be, and 231 00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:23,559 Speaker 1: these safety alerts help a lot. Granted, these devices are 232 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:25,360 Speaker 1: not as good as the computer God gave us, but 233 00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:27,800 Speaker 1: they do help. And the insurance company gave me a 234 00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:31,240 Speaker 1: discount because my car has these devices. Anthony Emelio, my 235 00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:34,000 Speaker 1: best to the Boys Park Origin, Illinois. You know, I've 236 00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:36,800 Speaker 1: thought of Anthony. I've been looking at this email for 237 00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:39,920 Speaker 1: a couple of days now and thinking about his comments, 238 00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:43,960 Speaker 1: and in my mind, I'm going look at how he 239 00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:49,520 Speaker 1: his generation is reacting to the current crop of cars, 240 00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:52,360 Speaker 1: and the car companies have to be doing this as well. 241 00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:55,520 Speaker 1: They've got to be saying to themselves, you know, we've 242 00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,640 Speaker 1: got this much of the population between the ages of 243 00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:00,640 Speaker 1: thirty and forty and forty and fifty and so on. 244 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:04,120 Speaker 1: Here's someone driving at seventy three. You know what, how 245 00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:05,360 Speaker 1: hard is it for them to get in and out 246 00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:08,080 Speaker 1: of this vehicle? As Anthony says, I've got ourthritis in 247 00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:10,400 Speaker 1: my joints and it takes me a while. My knees hurt, 248 00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:12,839 Speaker 1: my backs hurts, you know, so on and so forth. 249 00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:17,120 Speaker 1: So I'm thinking about all these safety devices that we've got, 250 00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:19,560 Speaker 1: dynamic cruise control and lane control alert and all the 251 00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:22,840 Speaker 1: other things self driving cars that you know we've got, 252 00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:25,000 Speaker 1: and and the way they're gonna take over and take 253 00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:27,720 Speaker 1: over the wheel force or semi autonomous cars and do 254 00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:30,599 Speaker 1: what they've got to do. And I'm driving to the 255 00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:33,920 Speaker 1: chiropractor this morning, and I pull up at the traffic 256 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:38,720 Speaker 1: light and there's a gentleman in front of me is 257 00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:42,880 Speaker 1: early thirties that looked like in a Honda CRV, and 258 00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:47,320 Speaker 1: he's got that iPhone right there just below the rear 259 00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:52,320 Speaker 1: view mirror. And I'm thinking about the safety implications of this. Okay, 260 00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:54,400 Speaker 1: he's got they've got some kind of an attachment now 261 00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:56,920 Speaker 1: where you can put the phone right there. So it's 262 00:12:56,920 --> 00:13:00,319 Speaker 1: about you know, it's it's a definite blind spot. I've 263 00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:03,719 Speaker 1: been pulled over enough that I know. You know, as 264 00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:05,760 Speaker 1: a kid, you know, you had cars with hood scoops 265 00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:08,040 Speaker 1: and blowers sticking out on all different things. And the 266 00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:09,800 Speaker 1: cop always said, son, it's got to have a clear 267 00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:12,200 Speaker 1: view of the fender. From the right fender. You gotta 268 00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:13,600 Speaker 1: be able to see it from the headlight to the 269 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:16,280 Speaker 1: base of the windshield. You couldn't see this hand to 270 00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:19,080 Speaker 1: c RVs fender from the base of the windshield, you know, 271 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:23,280 Speaker 1: out to the edge of the offender. And I'm thinking, 272 00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:27,160 Speaker 1: so we've got cars with safety devices, and we're creating 273 00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:31,320 Speaker 1: devices that impede our ability to see, and then they 274 00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:35,559 Speaker 1: become a distraction. And then to top it all off, 275 00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:38,600 Speaker 1: not only is he talking on the phone, he's using 276 00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:40,640 Speaker 1: the phone. He's talking on the phone, he's got a 277 00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:42,959 Speaker 1: cup of coffee in one hand, and he's got one 278 00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:47,040 Speaker 1: hand on the wheel. Now I know when he gets 279 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:49,520 Speaker 1: pulled over. And I'm curious if anybody knows the answer 280 00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:51,439 Speaker 1: to this, if any if any of the folks in 281 00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:53,559 Speaker 1: blue out there that do the do you know, law 282 00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:55,680 Speaker 1: enforcement for a living, if they've got the answer, I'd 283 00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:58,040 Speaker 1: love to get an answer, email or facebook me, and 284 00:13:58,080 --> 00:13:59,920 Speaker 1: we'll read it up on air whenever it shows up. 285 00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:04,640 Speaker 1: But I wonder is that considered distracted driving. It's distracted 286 00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:07,680 Speaker 1: driving to me. You know, I was always taught, you know, 287 00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,160 Speaker 1: two hands on the wheel what does it tend in 288 00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:14,160 Speaker 1: two o'clock and you know, straight down the road. And 289 00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:16,840 Speaker 1: I'm wondering to myself, So what's the point of having 290 00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:20,440 Speaker 1: safety devices if we can, you know, disable them by 291 00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:22,320 Speaker 1: something as simple as a cup of coffee and in 292 00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:27,040 Speaker 1: an iPhone in the wrong place, and the problem becomes, 293 00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:30,960 Speaker 1: you know, never mind the accident, because that's an accident 294 00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:35,120 Speaker 1: waiting to happen. All right. Styrofoam cups, these paper cups, 295 00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:38,520 Speaker 1: they fall out, they spill, you hit a bump, you're 296 00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:41,040 Speaker 1: gonna get burned, You're gonna jerk the wheel. I don't 297 00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:42,880 Speaker 1: think you know, does it get to the point where 298 00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:45,280 Speaker 1: you say people can't drink in the car? But you 299 00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:47,280 Speaker 1: know that's gonna be civil liberties and nobody's ever gonna 300 00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:49,440 Speaker 1: listen to that. And I'm not saying we do that, 301 00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:53,000 Speaker 1: but I'll say it like this. You have to realize 302 00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:57,480 Speaker 1: the computer you're sitting on top of it's huge. You know. 303 00:14:57,560 --> 00:14:59,600 Speaker 1: You look at that center console where they put those 304 00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:02,560 Speaker 1: cuple olders. I don't think any of you realize there's 305 00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:06,160 Speaker 1: probably a minimum of two computers under a late model console. 306 00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:08,360 Speaker 1: Because it's a great place to hide things. It also 307 00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:11,480 Speaker 1: makes access very easy to get to. So you're putting 308 00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:14,280 Speaker 1: that cup of coffee with milk and sugar, or that 309 00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:17,760 Speaker 1: Starbucks latte or Cafe Moco, whatever the heck it is, 310 00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:21,720 Speaker 1: frappuccino day, whatever, and you're putting that right over a 311 00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:24,440 Speaker 1: computer board that if anything spills and makes its way 312 00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:27,840 Speaker 1: down through, you know, it'll probably cost you a couple 313 00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:31,880 Speaker 1: of thousand bucks. But more importantly, you have to think 314 00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:34,800 Speaker 1: about the safety devices. I guess what's on my mind. 315 00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:37,600 Speaker 1: And with the point of this is, you've got to 316 00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:41,160 Speaker 1: realize you're driving at a minimum a ton and a 317 00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:46,479 Speaker 1: half to a two ton missile, and there's there's clearly 318 00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:50,560 Speaker 1: an issue with the way people are driving, and I 319 00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:53,240 Speaker 1: think a lot of it has to do with the 320 00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:55,280 Speaker 1: climate of the world, so to speak. We're all a 321 00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:57,680 Speaker 1: little distracted, we're a little bit nervous, we're all looking 322 00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:00,640 Speaker 1: over a shoulder, but we're not driving more. We're doing 323 00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:04,560 Speaker 1: anything but driving where we're paying attention to everything else 324 00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:07,760 Speaker 1: but what's on the road. And it's only going to 325 00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:11,880 Speaker 1: get worse. So please, you know, just think about it. 326 00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:13,880 Speaker 1: And if the person driving that hand that happens to 327 00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:16,800 Speaker 1: be listening, you don't take it down. You don't need 328 00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:18,680 Speaker 1: it in front of you. I give a lot of 329 00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:21,760 Speaker 1: credit to General Motors, all right. I never understood why 330 00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:24,320 Speaker 1: General Motors came out with the HUT, the heads up 331 00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:26,200 Speaker 1: display and a lot of their Cadillacs and some of 332 00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:29,080 Speaker 1: their other cars where they're projecting the speedometer and the 333 00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:32,680 Speaker 1: gauges and all that information right on the windshield. I 334 00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:35,160 Speaker 1: always thought, you know, for the longest time, I said, oh, 335 00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:37,920 Speaker 1: they're they're trying to emulate fighter jets to make it, 336 00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:43,160 Speaker 1: you know, high tech and fancier. But in reality, it's 337 00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:46,360 Speaker 1: it's a safety thing, alright, because you can see right 338 00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:49,920 Speaker 1: through that information and you're not blocking your information by 339 00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:51,960 Speaker 1: having a phone in a blind spot. It's a real 340 00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:55,320 Speaker 1: bad place to put it. Now. It doesn't matter to 341 00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:57,000 Speaker 1: me where you put it. But I think any phone 342 00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:00,480 Speaker 1: attached to the windshield is an obstruction, and I don't 343 00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:03,640 Speaker 1: think it needs to be there. So uh, like I said, 344 00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:05,919 Speaker 1: just just just be mindful of where you're driving and 345 00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:08,840 Speaker 1: how you're driving. It's it's becoming an issue. Road range 346 00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:11,440 Speaker 1: is all around us, all right. You have to be careful. 347 00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:13,880 Speaker 1: Coming back from the chiropractor. This is the other thing 348 00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:16,159 Speaker 1: that's stuck in my mind. Today. I feel sorry for 349 00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:19,399 Speaker 1: the woman in the Subaru outback was behind the gentleman 350 00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:22,200 Speaker 1: in the Toyota Highlander. She's blowing the horn. He's doing 351 00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:24,800 Speaker 1: twenty miles an hour and a forty and they're they're 352 00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:27,320 Speaker 1: celebrating the new the new Jersey salute to each other. 353 00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:31,879 Speaker 1: So I you know, it's it's somebody wasn't happy for 354 00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:35,879 Speaker 1: the way somebody was driving. And you know, it's just 355 00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:38,240 Speaker 1: you can see that there's just a lot of tension 356 00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:40,680 Speaker 1: out on the road. So try to make your road, 357 00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:44,080 Speaker 1: try to make your drive more tension free. Just think 358 00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:46,800 Speaker 1: about how you're doing it. Because um, even though his 359 00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:50,439 Speaker 1: anthony from Chicago points out they are making cars better 360 00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:54,280 Speaker 1: with more safety devices. If we're holding them one cup 361 00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:56,199 Speaker 1: of coffee in one hand and staring with with the 362 00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:58,800 Speaker 1: other and we've got something blocking our vision, although safety 363 00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:01,720 Speaker 1: devices all their value, you goes right out the window. 364 00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:03,760 Speaker 1: I'm Rondon ay and the guard ar.

Let's get 375 00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:41,560 Speaker 1: over and talk to Connie on line one. UM, some comments. 376 00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:45,160 Speaker 1: Is a return called Connie? How are you? This is UM. 377 00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:47,600 Speaker 1: This is in regards to the Volkswagen. We talked about 378 00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:49,359 Speaker 1: this a couple of weeks back, that had been sitting 379 00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:52,560 Speaker 1: for a while and it wouldn't start. Yes, we did, 380 00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:55,840 Speaker 1: and um Phillison, go back to the go back to 381 00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:58,119 Speaker 1: the original call. Describe the original problem you had. It 382 00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:00,240 Speaker 1: wouldn't start. It had been sitting a while and had 383 00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:03,880 Speaker 1: some comments and thoughts about it. That's right. This car 384 00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:07,120 Speaker 1: has been giving me trouble for I want to say, 385 00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:11,120 Speaker 1: maybe four years or so. And it ranged from the 386 00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:15,240 Speaker 1: air conditioner wouldn't work, blew a fuse, the starter went 387 00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:17,480 Speaker 1: that I went through a couple of batteries in that 388 00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:19,760 Speaker 1: period of time, even though I wasn't even hardly driving it. 389 00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:22,640 Speaker 1: And the fans, there were two Radiator fans that were 390 00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:25,240 Speaker 1: coming on for ten minutes every time that I would 391 00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:29,760 Speaker 1: touch the key, and that was wearing out the battery. Uh, 392 00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:35,600 Speaker 1: there was a horrible air leak in the fuel line, 393 00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:37,679 Speaker 1: and I can't tell you what was going on with that, 394 00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:42,320 Speaker 1: but but um, oh my gosh, I think the fuel 395 00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:45,439 Speaker 1: problem was probably the worst of all of them. And 396 00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:48,520 Speaker 1: so in the car kept dying as it was underload 397 00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:51,520 Speaker 1: going uphill, but then when it would cool off after 398 00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:54,280 Speaker 1: about fifteen minutes of setting, then it would start again 399 00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:57,040 Speaker 1: and go just fine. Well, I had it to about 400 00:19:57,080 --> 00:20:00,520 Speaker 1: half dozen mechanics over those years. No one could fix it, 401 00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:03,120 Speaker 1: including the dealership, couldn't even tell me where to begin 402 00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:07,399 Speaker 1: to fix anything. And actually advice from you was just 403 00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:10,960 Speaker 1: to sell the car. Um. Well, I didn't want to 404 00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:13,679 Speaker 1: sell the car. I love that car. It's a bookswagon 405 00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:16,040 Speaker 1: Jet at two thousand and three t d I it's 406 00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:20,400 Speaker 1: a diesel and so um, I took it to some 407 00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:23,320 Speaker 1: guys who are just down the street, I mean quite 408 00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:25,560 Speaker 1: a ways down the street, but asked him if they 409 00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:28,280 Speaker 1: could fix it, and they did and it didn't take 410 00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:31,040 Speaker 1: them any time. And and it was just a wonderful, 411 00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:33,640 Speaker 1: wonderful thing that happened We'll tell you what. Stay stay 412 00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:35,199 Speaker 1: right where you are. Tom, can we do two for 413 00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:37,240 Speaker 1: one here? Connie, We're gonna have a little a couple 414 00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:40,480 Speaker 1: of therapy because we've got Jim from Chief Petroleum, your 415 00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:43,879 Speaker 1: mechanic on the line. Jim, are you there? Hey? How 416 00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:46,960 Speaker 1: are you? Jim? Welcome to the car. I'm doing fine. 417 00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:50,760 Speaker 1: And I was listening to Connie uh talk, and she's 418 00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:54,720 Speaker 1: very gracious about the things that she said. And yeah, 419 00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:56,560 Speaker 1: I'll try to give you a little insight on on 420 00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:58,480 Speaker 1: what it was, if that's what you'd like. Yeah, we 421 00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:00,680 Speaker 1: want to know, you know. So what did you find 422 00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:02,080 Speaker 1: and how did you get to the root of it? 423 00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:07,120 Speaker 1: You know? Uh. When she come in, she explained that 424 00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:09,280 Speaker 1: she had been to a number of places and she 425 00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:14,080 Speaker 1: had some air bubbles in the fuel line and it 426 00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:19,760 Speaker 1: was the line coming from the gas tank. Looking at it, 427 00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:24,080 Speaker 1: we kind of determined that it was somewhat normal to 428 00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:26,560 Speaker 1: see a little bit of an air bubble, but there 429 00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:29,359 Speaker 1: was an excessive air and things in it. And I 430 00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:31,159 Speaker 1: wish the other guy was here and he could explain 431 00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:33,840 Speaker 1: it maybe a little bit better. But anyway, it becomes 432 00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:37,760 Speaker 1: known it was gonna be a lack of fuel and uh, 433 00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:41,000 Speaker 1: and we weren't totally positive on him, but we we 434 00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:44,639 Speaker 1: felt that's what it was. So h we called up 435 00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:49,440 Speaker 1: on the local UH wrecking yards and they had a 436 00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:53,880 Speaker 1: fuel UH pump canis no, I take I take it back. 437 00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:55,919 Speaker 1: I don't. I think it was just a canister. I 438 00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:59,320 Speaker 1: don't think the pump was even in it. Uh the 439 00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:03,840 Speaker 1: inserted into the tank. Anyway, is is where it's at. 440 00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:06,160 Speaker 1: It's it's in the tank itself. It's like a fuel 441 00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:08,000 Speaker 1: it's like a it's like a fuel module. But I 442 00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:10,719 Speaker 1: don't think the pump is there. You're right, right, I 443 00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:15,240 Speaker 1: believe that's what it was. Yes, And so anyway, he 444 00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:18,000 Speaker 1: you can take it out by not removing the tank, 445 00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:21,000 Speaker 1: and you can remove it at the top of the 446 00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:24,840 Speaker 1: gas tank. And so when we took it out, it 447 00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:31,600 Speaker 1: was full of a grandular type substance. Whether it was sugar, 448 00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:35,160 Speaker 1: whether it was salt, whether it was something that comes 449 00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:40,000 Speaker 1: from the factory. I really have no idea. It was 450 00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:42,680 Speaker 1: just the interesting because it was packed quite full in there. 451 00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:46,600 Speaker 1: There's a little valve on the on the bottom of 452 00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:50,120 Speaker 1: that canister in and it was holding it open, so 453 00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:55,320 Speaker 1: the fuel was draining back into the tank, is what 454 00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:58,920 Speaker 1: we determined. Anyway, when we took it out, we bopped 455 00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:02,679 Speaker 1: it on the ground and looked at it. Uh, like 456 00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:06,879 Speaker 1: all good mechanics, do you know, we get curious. I'm sure, 457 00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:09,440 Speaker 1: how does it work? Yeah? How does it work? Sure? Yeah, 458 00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:11,800 Speaker 1: how does it work? What's going on? And what is 459 00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:15,600 Speaker 1: this stuff? And so in anyway, we put the new 460 00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:18,479 Speaker 1: one in and of course and it worked fine. Um 461 00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:22,760 Speaker 1: showed Connie the things that we took out. Um, we're 462 00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:25,640 Speaker 1: just a little service station, mompos service station type thing 463 00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:28,920 Speaker 1: from the forties. And the number of my customers had 464 00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:30,960 Speaker 1: come in and I would say, here, look at this. 465 00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:33,680 Speaker 1: What do you think this is? What's it doing in diesel? 466 00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:37,679 Speaker 1: And how come it doesn't you know, just melt or something. 467 00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:42,000 Speaker 1: So anyway, after that, that's a kind of what happened 468 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:44,520 Speaker 1: that it kept us interested. I still find it a 469 00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:47,440 Speaker 1: very interesting thing. Well yeah, and sugar, Well, sugar won't 470 00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:50,879 Speaker 1: dissolve in diesel. And you know, I've got to tell you, 471 00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:54,160 Speaker 1: when Connie told me it was sugar, I said, yeah, 472 00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:56,000 Speaker 1: that kind of makes sense. I don't think i've everyone 473 00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:58,159 Speaker 1: seen anybody put sugar and diesel, because I thought that 474 00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:00,399 Speaker 1: was just a well known fact. If I can think 475 00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:01,960 Speaker 1: of a couple of things to put in diesel to 476 00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:03,880 Speaker 1: hurt the car. And I'm not going to talk about 477 00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:07,280 Speaker 1: it here because I don't give anybody any ideas, but uh, 478 00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:09,800 Speaker 1: you know, it's it's just said, So Connie, can I 479 00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:13,600 Speaker 1: talk to Connie to Tom Connie, you're there? Um? So, 480 00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:17,440 Speaker 1: so who doesn't like you? Um? That's the next question. Well, 481 00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:20,080 Speaker 1: it was a tenant that I evicted. Actually I know 482 00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:22,159 Speaker 1: who it was, and I know and that's exactly the 483 00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:24,199 Speaker 1: time frame when the eviction happened to us, when my 484 00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:26,960 Speaker 1: car started having trouble. And that's not the only damage 485 00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:30,919 Speaker 1: that he did to my car. But he forgot that 486 00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:33,919 Speaker 1: it's a diesel, because he is a mechanic himself, the 487 00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:37,680 Speaker 1: guy who did this, I guess he forgot that's a 488 00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:40,120 Speaker 1: diesel and it would have no effect. So the way 489 00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:42,600 Speaker 1: I found out was I tasted it. I actually put 490 00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:47,640 Speaker 1: a few of those those granules into my mouth and 491 00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:50,520 Speaker 1: sure enough, it was sugar covered with diesel. You're you're 492 00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:52,600 Speaker 1: you're a brave soul, Connie, But don't do that. I'm 493 00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:55,119 Speaker 1: sure we can get somebody to do an analysis of it. 494 00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:58,080 Speaker 1: But that's that's that's a great story. I'm glad it 495 00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:00,159 Speaker 1: all worked out in the end. So so, Jim, what 496 00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:02,240 Speaker 1: kind of shape is the rest of the car? Good 497 00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:04,520 Speaker 1: to go for a while? No? But yeah, I just 498 00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:07,080 Speaker 1: gonna run for a while. And Connie takes a pretty 499 00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:10,399 Speaker 1: good care of her rigs, so I think she'll be 500 00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:12,840 Speaker 1: happy with it. Is um. I was impressed with it 501 00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:15,439 Speaker 1: because I liked the little Volkswagen Diesels. I run a 502 00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:19,000 Speaker 1: rabbit before. Yeah, they run a good run of time. Yeah. Well, 503 00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:21,480 Speaker 1: and when you get fifty plus miles again, and it 504 00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:25,360 Speaker 1: really impresses the heck out of me. Let me ask you, Jim, 505 00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:30,760 Speaker 1: uh this repair aside? How long you've been fixed some cars? Oh, 506 00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:36,520 Speaker 1: let's see how old am I took? Uh? I the 507 00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:39,959 Speaker 1: top of the kid growing up? That kept us interested. 508 00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:42,639 Speaker 1: We went. I say we because my brother and I 509 00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:47,040 Speaker 1: did a lot of things together. We took automotive at FCC, 510 00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:51,680 Speaker 1: uh Community College and Spokane and uh, well, I was 511 00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:56,280 Speaker 1: expos seventy four because we graduated in seventy four and 512 00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:59,000 Speaker 1: went down and worked into p Harvest and Lewis and 513 00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:03,000 Speaker 1: Idaho and then we've run a shop ever since. Ye 514 00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:06,120 Speaker 1: about and a guy that was working with me, he's 515 00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:09,760 Speaker 1: almost got the same story. He started out in the service, 516 00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:14,760 Speaker 1: did some airplane mechanics and then turned into a wrench 517 00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:18,200 Speaker 1: turning full and neither one of us are smart enough 518 00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:21,200 Speaker 1: to quit, so and we enjoy doing it. It doesn't work, 519 00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:24,360 Speaker 1: it's more enjoyment. So you got to know the next question, 520 00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:29,000 Speaker 1: where do you think it's going? Oh go, I don't 521 00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:34,080 Speaker 1: even get into that. I really, I don't. I don't 522 00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:37,439 Speaker 1: know now. I hate to even venturey guest I I 523 00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:41,159 Speaker 1: is a combustion engine going to be phased out? Nah, 524 00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:44,680 Speaker 1: too many dollars. But sure has changed, hasn't the industry 525 00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:47,520 Speaker 1: changed in the last never mind thirty years, the last 526 00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:52,919 Speaker 1: five years? Right, I'm sorry I didn't catch I was 527 00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:54,960 Speaker 1: I was gonna say, but but it's sure has changed 528 00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:56,680 Speaker 1: in the last I won't say thirty years, but even 529 00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:59,879 Speaker 1: the last five years, the technology is just Yeah. I 530 00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:03,800 Speaker 1: went to just a little my history. I moved out 531 00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:08,200 Speaker 1: to the farm, oh no, thirty some odd years ago 532 00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:12,119 Speaker 1: and worked for Kaiser Loom as a mechanic, and so 533 00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:15,920 Speaker 1: I quit the automotive industry in there in the nineties 534 00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:17,960 Speaker 1: when they were just coming out with some of it. 535 00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:20,800 Speaker 1: So it left me behind the eight ball even then. 536 00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:23,520 Speaker 1: And I've tried to pick up over the years now 537 00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:26,800 Speaker 1: some of it. But yeah, I can only imagine somebody 538 00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:30,320 Speaker 1: trying to figure out some of the I mean I 539 00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:32,720 Speaker 1: hear it on a daily basis. You know. Well it's 540 00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:37,040 Speaker 1: not my nineteen fifty six Chevy anymore. So so yeah, 541 00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:40,320 Speaker 1: it's tough. It's uh, you know, if you can find 542 00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:44,280 Speaker 1: a good, honest mechanic, stay with him. Let me let 543 00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:46,720 Speaker 1: me ask you this, Jim.

Things in the shop this week, 622 00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:52,880 Speaker 1: the industry, well not all of the industry, but some 623 00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:58,120 Speaker 1: of the industry stated their intelligence level because their reaction 624 00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:03,960 Speaker 1: to new technology shows me why you, as a consumer 625 00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:06,880 Speaker 1: and a vehicle owner, are having problems finding somebody to 626 00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:09,440 Speaker 1: fix your car. I talked about case He'll remember I 627 00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:11,720 Speaker 1: talked about case Hell. It's a product I stumbled across. 628 00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:14,160 Speaker 1: And as a matter of fact, we're talking to case 629 00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:15,920 Speaker 1: Hele and you may see them here as an advertiser 630 00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:18,000 Speaker 1: in the coming weeks because I believe in the product. 631 00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:20,240 Speaker 1: It works. It's as simple as that. So I don't 632 00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:22,040 Speaker 1: be surprised when you when you when you start hearing 633 00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:25,240 Speaker 1: some uh some advertising here and and that's a good thing. 634 00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:28,000 Speaker 1: It's a good product. It's something that you can wrap 635 00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:31,240 Speaker 1: your mechanical legs around and and and use to repair 636 00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:34,600 Speaker 1: your vehicle. So anyway, I had an O six Pontiac 637 00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:36,760 Speaker 1: G six came into the shop this week that had 638 00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:39,800 Speaker 1: some cooling system see page. It was around the intake, manifold, 639 00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:41,520 Speaker 1: not around the intake, I'm sorry, around the time and 640 00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:44,040 Speaker 1: cover gasket in one corner of the head gasket, an 641 00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:46,480 Speaker 1: external leak where it was just dribbling a couple of drops. 642 00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:49,880 Speaker 1: Older car, hundred thousand miles. It's it's eleven, twelve years old. 643 00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:52,960 Speaker 1: A younger a younger person is driving it. She's she's 644 00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:55,959 Speaker 1: just out of college. She's working away through uh grad school. 645 00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:58,280 Speaker 1: What we're gonna do. We're gonna put three grand into 646 00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:01,440 Speaker 1: a twelve year old, hundred thousand mile car. So we 647 00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:03,960 Speaker 1: poured some k seal into it. Now, some of the 648 00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:06,880 Speaker 1: geniuses out on Facebook are yelling at me because they're saying, 649 00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:10,560 Speaker 1: I'm pouring the sealer into the overflow tank. But they're 650 00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:12,960 Speaker 1: too stupid to realize that that's not the overflow tank. 651 00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:16,760 Speaker 1: That's actually the extension of the radiator. That was the 652 00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:19,800 Speaker 1: expansion tank, and that goes directly into the cooling system. 653 00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:22,080 Speaker 1: But again, the mechanics that are out there, some of 654 00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:24,040 Speaker 1: them are just so dopey they don't realize what they're 655 00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:26,600 Speaker 1: looking at. They jump on it.

Maybe we'll do it next hour. 666 00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:53,160 Speaker 1: Maybe we'll put it up n til next week. I 667 00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:55,280 Speaker 1: gotta I can't make up my mind. But the folks 668 00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:57,120 Speaker 1: over at the Diablo Sport of given us a predator 669 00:33:57,160 --> 00:33:59,360 Speaker 1: to to give away and we're looking forward to doing it. 670 00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:01,400 Speaker 1: We're trying to do so that maybe somebody can either 671 00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:04,520 Speaker 1: use it or you know, stick it in dad's christmasburg, 672 00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:07,040 Speaker 1: you know, holiday gift bag and get it that way. 673 00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:09,319 Speaker 1: But the predator to what it does is it gives 674 00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:12,560 Speaker 1: you the ability to tune adjust options on the vehicle 675 00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:15,399 Speaker 1: like tire size, gear shifting. It lets you tune and 676 00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:18,120 Speaker 1: modify the vehicle for better performance. You can find for 677 00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:21,200 Speaker 1: information at the Diablo Sports dot com. Real quick, I 678 00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:23,640 Speaker 1: got a question this week on Facebook as a matter 679 00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:26,080 Speaker 1: of fact, and I love the Facebook questions. Keep them coming. 680 00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:27,840 Speaker 1: Run on any of the car doctor out on Facebook 681 00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:30,239 Speaker 1: about anti free Someone had asked me. They said, you 682 00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:33,120 Speaker 1: know they're they're older GM car calls for decks cool 683 00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:36,640 Speaker 1: but it's very expensive. Is it okay to mix and 684 00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:39,120 Speaker 1: just do something else? What would happen? And my the 685 00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:42,279 Speaker 1: the analogy I gave was that you have to think 686 00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:46,160 Speaker 1: of anti freeze coolant like blood types. You can't mix 687 00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:48,400 Speaker 1: blood types. It's bad for the body. It's bad for 688 00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:50,600 Speaker 1: the car to mix coolings. Now, it's not going to 689 00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:53,319 Speaker 1: cause the car to die, but it does limit the 690 00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:56,040 Speaker 1: ability of whatever coolon's left in the system to do 691 00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:58,840 Speaker 1: its job as the manufacturer wanted, and it can in 692 00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:02,560 Speaker 1: the long run hurt other vehicle cooling system components. So 693 00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:05,920 Speaker 1: keep the correct coolant in your car as it's designed 694 00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:07,600 Speaker 1: until the next time I'll run on any of the 695 00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:11,000 Speaker 1: car doctor. Good mechanics aren't expensive, they're priceless. See you
