1
00:00:01,240 --> 00:00:04,720
Speaker 1: Ron Anian, it's not your imagination. It is a different

2
00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:08,520
Speaker 1: repair process with good at fixed cars differently going forward,

Speaker 1: guys and say, hey, are your gears? Do your gears

6
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:32,519
Speaker 1: tend to be a little louder overstock depending upon how

7
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:35,960
Speaker 1: they're cut, because some gear manufacturers cut their gears at

8
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:38,919
Speaker 1: at a different angle and for you know, more aggressiveness.

9
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:41,960

Speaker 1: Should I tell the story now? Tom, I'll tell the

27
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:35,960
Speaker 1: story now. Okay. About fifteen years ago, I was surprised

28
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:37,760
Speaker 1: I never told Tom this story, and I really had.

29
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 1: I wanted to talk about the Malibu water pump. Will

30
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:42,319
Speaker 1: do that later. I wanted to tell this story for

31
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 1: the longest time, and I thought I had. About fifteen

32
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 1: years ago, we were, you know, we're We've always been

33
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 1: a network syndicated show, and we were live in New

34
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 1: York City on w o R Radio, BIGI one screaming

35
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 1: radio station, right and you know, as it was sometimes

36
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 1: the week I was on the weekends like I always am,

37
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 1: and sometimes they would call you in. Joan Hamburg, one

38
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 1: of the big New York City voices at the time,

39
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 1: was was taking a vacation week and they wanted me

40
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:11,920
Speaker 1: to come in out on Wednesday and do Jones Show

41
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,080
Speaker 1: from noon to two. I think that was the time slot,

42
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 1: noon to two or two to four, noon to two.

43
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 1: I think it was noon to two, and I did

44
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:20,640
Speaker 1: the show, and you know, actually the one caveat was

45
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 1: it can't turn into two hours of the Car Doctor

46
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 1: on a Wednesday, which that lasted for about eight minutes. Um.

47
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 1: I answered a couple of questions about where to eat

48
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 1: in New York, and then the third person wanted to

49
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 1: know what they had a problem with their focus. I

50
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 1: remember this, and from there it was kind of like

51
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,519
Speaker 1: Johnny Carson when he walked on the set of Letterman's

52
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 1: Like we took off. From there. It was Cold Card

53
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 1: Doctor for two hours and I got off a air

54
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 1: and this is the part where it kind of got

55
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 1: I was sort of, you know, I was tired. I'd

56
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 1: come off air. I just done weekday. Weekday is a

57
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:51,240
Speaker 1: very different energy than doing weekends. And Dr Joey Brown,

58
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:55,679
Speaker 1: another huge voice of New York radio fifteen years ago,

59
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 1: was coming out of her studio with none other than

60
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 1: Tim McGraw, and I didn't know who he was. I'll

61
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 1: be honest, you know, I don't really pay attention to

62
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 1: what a singer looks like. And I learned that he

63
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 1: who he was after the fact, and she came over

64
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 1: to introduced me, and Tim couldn't have been nicer. He

65
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 1: was the nicest guy in the world. I gotta tell you,

66
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 1: I I he and he Ron a great show. I

67
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 1: don't know if it was being polite, if he really

68
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,080
Speaker 1: listens to the show. I don't know. I just this

69
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:23,239
Speaker 1: is what he said. He said, Ron, you know, I

70
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:25,920
Speaker 1: really enjoyed the show. I listened every time I'm in

71
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 1: New York, and I try to catch it when I'm traveling.

72
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:30,799
Speaker 1: But I'm always fascinated by the way you talk about

73
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 1: cars and what you know and what you do and

74
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 1: so forth, and and just couldn't have been nicer. And

75
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 1: Dr Joey Brown was there in the Row world, kind

76
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 1: of kidbitting it up, as we say here in New Jersey.

77
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 1: And Um, Tim goes, hey, Ron, I'd like to come

78
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 1: out and see me work tonight. Now this is the

79
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 1: part where Ron was stupid because Ron didn't realize it

80
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 1: was Tim McGraw. Ron was confused and thought it was

81
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 1: Tug McGraw. Tug McGraw played on the sixty nine Mets,

82
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 1: and his his answer was you gotta believe right, Um,

83
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 1: and it's actually Tim's father. And I couldn't help I'm

84
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 1: thinking he was Tuck mcgrow The baseball player, and I

85
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 1: couldn't figure out why he was wearing a cowboy hat

86
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 1: the whole time. But it just I never I never

87
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 1: put the two together. And I was very nice. I said, gee, Tim,

88
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:16,479
Speaker 1: I said, you know what I'd like to, I said,

89
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 1: but I think we've got something going on. I just

90
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 1: I can't get out of it. And I've really got

91
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 1: to because I'm thinking my wife doesn't really want to

92
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 1: go to watch a baseball game. She's just not in

93
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 1: the baseball which is okay, it just come on, I'll

94
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 1: get you behind the scenes tickets. And you know, I'm figured, well,

95
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:30,719
Speaker 1: my wife definitely doesn't want to go into the dugout.

96
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 1: I said, why would she want to sit in a

97
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:35,840
Speaker 1: dugout with a bunch of you know, baseball players yelling

98
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 1: and screaming carrying. My wife's a very quiet, gentle kind

99
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:41,600
Speaker 1: of person, and I said, and I begged off. Dr

100
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 1: Joey Brown was her draw was on the floor. She

101
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 1: just couldn't figure out what I was talking about. I

102
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 1: went home and I told my wife and I explained

103
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 1: the whole thing to her, and um, she said, Tim

104
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,839
Speaker 1: McGraw high said, yeah, the baseball player, you idiot. That

105
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 1: was tug. That was Tim McGraw, the country singer. I

106
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 1: haven't lived this down yet. Well, I'm glad she called

107
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:04,239
Speaker 1: you an idiot because I was about to do that. Well,

108
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 1: you know, and this I'm telling you, Tom, I feel

109
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:09,360
Speaker 1: like a dope ever since this happened, because I just

110
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,040
Speaker 1: you know, but I was probably thinking about a car

111
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:15,479
Speaker 1: at the time in my own defense. So the reason

112
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 1: I'm telling you all this story is not to take

113
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 1: up air time, and I appreciate you letting me do

114
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 1: this for the first five minutes of the show today

115
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:25,280
Speaker 1: is because we have a daughter getting married next year

116
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:28,479
Speaker 1: and she's a big Tim McGraw fan, she said, And

117
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:30,479
Speaker 1: they were talking about it. They're talking about getting a band,

118
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 1: and they're doing this, and they're doing that, and and

119
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 1: your mother, my mother, my wife kiddingly said, hey, your

120
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 1: father knows Tim McGraw. Um. I said, well, actually I don't.

121
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 1: My wife said, that's right, you don't. So, Um, if

122
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,159
Speaker 1: anybody out there has a contact for Tim McGraw, I

123
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 1: sure would love to, you know, I figured with everybody,

124
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:53,280
Speaker 1: everybody knows somebody that's seven degrees of Kevin Bacon thing. Um.

125
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 1: We'll talk about this in the coming weeks, but it

126
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 1: sure would be nice if I could at least just

127
00:05:56,600 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 1: drop Mr McGraw an email Mr McGraw now, and you know,

128
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 1: could we possibly maybe he could do it virtually. We

129
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 1: could do a zoom uh wedding appearance, maybe sing a

130
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 1: song and say hello to Katie and Alex and uh, um,

131
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 1: you know there are two veterans. He's a marine, she's army. Um,

132
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:14,160
Speaker 1: maybe we could kind of make that pitch, which I

133
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:15,840
Speaker 1: would hate to do it on that. Well, actually I

134
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 1: would do it on that. Um. I do anything I

135
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 1: could to get this guy to appear. But um, in

136
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 1: any event, Um, that's my Tim McGraw story. And I

137
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 1: realized I screwed up, and UM, I'm sorry. Next time,

138
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 1: I'll be more aware of the guy's wearing. I was thinking,

139
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 1: why isn't he wearing a Mets baseball cap. He's Tug McGraw, like,

140
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 1: you know, he's a baseball player. This guy's got the

141
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:37,039
Speaker 1: wrong head on and everything. It ain't easy being me

142
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 1: some weeks, But in any event, that was that's the

143
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 1: Tim McGraw story. And um, I've now humiliated myself publicly,

144
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 1: so I can I feel strong and popular as as

145
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 1: I moved through this hour. Sometime this hour, I'll tell

146
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 1: you the Malibu water pump story. Right now, let's do

147
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 1: a car thing. Let's go over to Jeff and Maine

148
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 1: with a ten Prius and see what's going on here. Jeff,

149
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 1: welcome to the car doctor. If you'll still talk to

150
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,080
Speaker 1: me after I disregarded Tim McGraw, I'm sorry, I have

151
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 1: to ask for forgiveness. Um, how can I help? Yes, well,

152
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 1: I have a Toyota two Toyota Prius that I believe in,

153
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 1: not camping. But um, I'm having problems with the field gauge.

154
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 1: It shows at nine at nine gallons, it shows that

155
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 1: it's empty, and I know it takes eleven gallons. I

156
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 1: go into a hundred miles or more after it's thrown empty.

157
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 1: So let me let me get this right. The gauge

158
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 1: is reading three quarters full. What did you say? The

159
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:45,679
Speaker 1: gays goes empty reads empty at about nine gallons. Because

160
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 1: you have a digital read out, you have a separate

161
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 1: read out than then the gauge telling you how many

162
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 1: gallons you have left. It tells me that I have

163
00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 1: no gallons left and I still got a hundred miles

164
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 1: and more in the Because you can drive a hundred miles. Yeah, okay,

165
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 1: So let me ask you the question this way. If

166
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 1: you fill it up, how long does it take for

167
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 1: the gauge to come off a full? About nine gallons worth?

168
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 1: But I mean, all right, in other words, if it's

169
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 1: really if it's if it's really well, if it's reading

170
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 1: wrong on one end, it's got to read wrong on

171
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 1: the other end. Right now, I've never noticed in doing

172
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 1: anything strange about staying up there too long. So you're

173
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:33,720
Speaker 1: saying it just gets to eat and then you can

174
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 1: drive an extra hundred miles. Correct, And obviously you're certain

175
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 1: it's running off of the engine not not not not

176
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:49,320
Speaker 1: the hybrid drive? Correct? Okay? Has anybody still getting fifty

177
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:55,200
Speaker 1: two gallon? Okay? Has anybody? Has anybody tried any basic

178
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 1: diagnostics just to look for any issues. Is the gauge,

179
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 1: is the gauge sweeping right? Is the gauge reading incorrectly

180
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 1: or on your first call? No, But they told me

181
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 1: something about a bladder inside of it, and that that

182
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:11,600
Speaker 1: it has to be reprogrammed. A bladder in the tank.

183
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 1: That's what I was reading. That's why I called you

184
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 1: up because it was confused in me. Yeah, it's confused

185
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 1: in me, brother, I've never heard of a bladder in

186
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 1: the tank. Um, I mean there's been problems with you know,

187
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,440
Speaker 1: it's just a gas cage. There's nothing crazy about it.

188
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:29,960
Speaker 1: It's a gas cage. It's it's you know, it's resistance

189
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:33,079
Speaker 1: value at zero to ninety or zero, Tom, there's nothing

190
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 1: odd about it. It could be a problem with the

191
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 1: combination meter cluster, it could be a problem with the

192
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:40,679
Speaker 1: sending unit. You know. I would just say, it's got

193
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 1: to go through some basic diagnostics. What makes them think

194
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:44,720
Speaker 1: there's a problem in the tank or there's a problem

195
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 1: with a bladder. Who said there's a problem with the bladder.

196
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 1: Are you reading this on the internet? Yes, I go

197
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:57,560
Speaker 1: online to faith, to YouTube, okay, and well yeah but

198
00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 1: anything listen, YouTube is great. I'm not gonna deny it,

199
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 1: but YouTube is good. After you confirm the facts, you

200
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 1: still got to go through some basics here. Somebody's got

201
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:09,560
Speaker 1: to go back to the fuel gauge or to the

202
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:13,960
Speaker 1: sending unit and verify wiring, verify power ground signal. I mean,

203
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 1: the same basics if we're going to get into and

204
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 1: I think I think of memory serves me correct. The

205
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:22,079
Speaker 1: fuel gage has an access panel under the back seat.

206
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 1: I'm trying to remember it's been a while since I've

207
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:28,080
Speaker 1: played with the prius of this generation. But you know,

208
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:30,080
Speaker 1: this is nothing special. This has nothing to do with

209
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 1: the hybrid hybrid drive making it indifferent. Um, you know

210
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 1: that it's it's it could be a problem with the sender.

211
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 1: And if there is something in the tank, if they're

212
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 1: talking about a bladder, Um, it sounds like you're describing

213
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 1: something with regarding the lining that's in the tank, and

214
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 1: perhaps the lining is coming apart. What do they say

215
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 1: the fixes? Since they're telling you what's wrong with it,

216
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 1: they say the fix is to reprogram it. You know,

217
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 1: you've got to turn it off, hit this button, hit

218
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:05,560
Speaker 1: that button. And this is for a tender, this is

219
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:10,080
Speaker 1: for a ten prius. This is well the ones that

220
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:13,319
Speaker 1: they were showing this one, we're two nine o less

221
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 1: my generation. I couldn't find anything that was saying how

222
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 1: to do it, So maybe your generation doesn't have it.

223
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:21,680
Speaker 1: And therefore, like I said in the beginning, you're reading

224
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:29,320
Speaker 1: incorrect information. Don't don't overcomplicate, you know, don't over don't overcomplicated, Jeff,

225
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 1: it's it's let's let's go through some basic diagnostics for

226
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:35,720
Speaker 1: that matter. Let's do this. Let's look up a scan

227
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 1: tool and get a fuel gauge reading. Scan tool will

228
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:40,839
Speaker 1: give you a fuel gauge PID. Does the fuel gauge

229
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 1: pit MAX match the dash? Or is the fuel gauge

230
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:46,959
Speaker 1: pit off a scan tool different than what the dash says?

231
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 1: If the gauge and the computer are both seeing the

232
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 1: same thing, I'm gonna point you more in the direction

233
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 1: of the sender itself, or wiring at the center, or

234
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 1: a ground or a dirty ground issue, just because both

235
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 1: of those are getting information off the sending unit as

236
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 1: interpreted through the computer. Making any sense a lot of sense.

237
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:13,719
Speaker 1: Let's do some basic diagnostics. Like I said, YouTube is

238
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:17,080
Speaker 1: great after we do some research. YouTube is great for

239
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:19,440
Speaker 1: how to do it, but may not necessarily have all

240
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 1: the answers. All right, don't ever complicate what could be

241
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:24,920
Speaker 1: a very simple problem. Do some basics. Call me back

242
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 1: next week. Sounds good, all right, Jeff, be well, I'm

243
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 1: run on any of the car doctor. We are back

244
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:49,719
Speaker 1: right after this when you get keep Ron's number hand

245
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 1: eight five five five zero zero zero for when you

246
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:56,839
Speaker 1: really need advice on your car. Here's robber. Hey, let's

247
00:12:56,840 --> 00:13:00,439
Speaker 1: get over to Greg and Georgia g mc c r A, Greg,

248
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:05,599
Speaker 1: how can I help to that? What's going on? Um?

249
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:09,960
Speaker 1: When the transmission heats up, it loses fourth in reverse

250
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:12,680
Speaker 1: and the gears starts slipping a little bit. Feels like

251
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 1: there's a bunch of play when heats up. Went through,

252
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 1: it went nice and cool. It runs perfectly fine. All right?

253
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:22,200
Speaker 1: How many miles are on this three hundred thousand third

254
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:27,199
Speaker 1: But we had the transmission rebuilt at two D fifty?

255
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:32,640
Speaker 1: What makes you think it's not a trans again? Um, well,

256
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 1: I believe it might be a trans but I just

257
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:37,680
Speaker 1: I truly don't know. Yeah. Well, and and and here's

258
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 1: how we can kind of break it down. First of all,

259
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 1: in ninety two, this is sort of a primitive peat

260
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:47,079
Speaker 1: uh compared to today's modern vehicles. In terms of diagnostics.

261
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:49,200
Speaker 1: You can go in with an O B D one

262
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 1: skin too, a little square plug connector under the left

263
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:56,560
Speaker 1: side of the dash if I remember right, Um, and

264
00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:59,599
Speaker 1: there were two pins I think the bottom two in

265
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:01,560
Speaker 1: the bottom right hand corner. We used to have a

266
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 1: little jumper wire and we would jump. We could count

267
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 1: the check engine light for fault codes, and I'd be curious,

268
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 1: see what's there? There there were some common things. Um,

269
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:12,600
Speaker 1: they would set a fault eight, they would set a

270
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 1: fault five. Uh, fourth gear, solenoid, fourth gear transmission related issues,

271
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 1: you know, that would just lead you towards the solenoid.

272
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 1: But at this age and mileage, and it's been apart once,

273
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 1: I think you're obligated to pull the trans apart and

274
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 1: look at everything. You know. The fact that the fact

275
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 1: that it does it only when it warms up tells

276
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 1: me something's expanding. You know, a pressure seal or a

277
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 1: rubber seal is losing its ability to seal and something's

278
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 1: coming apart. Any warranty on the trans yet or no,

279
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 1: it's all over, No, sir, it's all over. It's all over. Um,

280
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 1: I figured fifty tho miles. I don't know how long

281
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:56,400
Speaker 1: ago that was. Uh. You know the fact that, okay,

282
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 1: the fact that it's living fourth in reverse if I

283
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 1: remember right. Don't hold me to this, but I think

284
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:03,840
Speaker 1: fourth and reverse work off the same shifts solinoid in

285
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 1: the valve body. And is it slipping in other gears?

286
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 1: Did you say? Uh? No, sir? Went heats up. It

287
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 1: feels like you It ReBs a little bit and nan

288
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:19,560
Speaker 1: catches when heats up pretty good, okay, but it loses

289
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 1: fourth gear altogether, yes, sir. It um, like when you're

290
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 1: going down the highway, say about fifty five, it goes

291
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:33,080
Speaker 1: wan wan wan wah, it's shift between third and four. Yeah,

292
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 1: and it just do that. It's just there's just nothing there.

293
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 1: So I would I would start before you go and

294
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 1: pull the trans. I would start with a scan just

295
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 1: to see if you're getting any fault codes out of it.

296
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 1: There was some real primitive stuff compared again compared to

297
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 1: today where we could disconnect wires at the PCM and

298
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 1: go through some grounding and applying. And but I don't

299
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 1: know if that's you know, at three hundred thousand miles

300
00:15:57,360 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 1: or fifty thousand miles now, but three hundred thousand on

301
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 1: the original case. At least, it's not the worst trans

302
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 1: in the world to pull out, even even if it's

303
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:08,880
Speaker 1: four wheel drive. I'm sure it's four wheel drive. Greg, Yeah, um,

304
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 1: you know, I think you're probably gonna end up doing that.

305
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 1: But see if you can find the shop that even

306
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 1: has an O B D one, the old school, old

307
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 1: style scan tool to do a little basic diagnostics before

308
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 1: you yank it. You know, it's if you told me

309
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 1: it was happening in all gears. I think maybe you

310
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 1: know we're slipping. Do we have a cracked filter or

311
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 1: filter out of its O ring? Do we have low

312
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 1: fluid aeration something like that. The fact that it's happening

313
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 1: only in specific gears tells me that it's you know,

314
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 1: there were uh three solenoids once three three soloids. If

315
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 1: I recall correctly that generation um, one of them may

316
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 1: be failing. But it may also be an indication of

317
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 1: something else. And I think it behooves somebody to take

318
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:52,920
Speaker 1: the trans apart and look before you do any further damage,

319
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 1: just on the pretense the other issue is going to

320
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 1: be it's an older truck. I'd rather see it come

321
00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:00,720
Speaker 1: apart once, get a freshening up now all better parts

322
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 1: are still available, then damage something two years from now

323
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:05,680
Speaker 1: if you continue to drive it, or however long you'd

324
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:07,720
Speaker 1: want to drive it. Uh, you know, let's get it

325
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:11,280
Speaker 1: addressed before we make it worse. You know what I'm saying. Okay,

341
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:56,160
Speaker 1: you know. This week, I'm standing at the counter and

342
00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,920
Speaker 1: father and young son came in to pick up a car.

343
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:05,359
Speaker 1: And he's twenty five, and he's telling me we're making

344
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:07,440
Speaker 1: he's making comments about what's wrong with the kids of

345
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:10,199
Speaker 1: this generation today, talking about how they don't you know,

346
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 1: they're not in the cars and they don't want to

347
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 1: do that. And I'm thinking, wait a minute, he's twenty

348
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 1: five and he's telling me the kids of that generation.

349
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 1: What generation he is? That generation isn't he? There's a

350
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:24,160
Speaker 1: whole another generation underneath them. There's more to come. Oh

351
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:27,920
Speaker 1: good lord. Um, anyway, maybe Tim McGraw called today. I'm

356
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 1: live in Grand Cherokee before we do that. Yeah, I've

357
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:14,160
Speaker 1: been doing some research here. What's your budget for this wedding? Well,

358
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:16,560
Speaker 1: I don't think it's that kind of a budget, Tom.

359
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 1: You know, well, it's the book, timber raw. It's been

360
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:25,480
Speaker 1: ahimut half a million dollars. Yeah, but but he likes me.

361
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:28,919
Speaker 1: You know, you gotta remember he likes me. Well, fifteen

362
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 1: years ago he like man. I don't know if he

363
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 1: likes me today he likes me. You know, I don't

364
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 1: think my budget is half a million dollars. Tom, it's

365
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:37,919
Speaker 1: it's it's half of something. I'm just not sure what

366
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:41,959
Speaker 1: it's half of. Um. I just figured, you know, maybe Okay,

367
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 1: so he can't fly into New Jersey. I understand that

368
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 1: part but maybe he could do this virtually and send

369
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 1: out a virtual message and get me off the hook

370
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:51,880
Speaker 1: with my wife and kids. Um, you know, he's still

371
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:54,639
Speaker 1: a car guy at heart, he you know, you know,

372
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 1: and his his his dad was in New York Mett

373
00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:59,239
Speaker 1: and I'm a Mets fan, you know. And how many

374
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:01,760
Speaker 1: people would admit that. I think actually have bonus points

375
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:06,479
Speaker 1: for that. Anyway, Um, can I go to work now

376
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:07,879
Speaker 1: so I can start to pay off this wedding. I'm

377
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:09,720
Speaker 1: going to get Tim McGraw here a half a million dollars.

378
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:13,040
Speaker 1: Oh my god. Um, I'm in the wrong business. Jim

379
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:14,880
Speaker 1: and Naples, Florida. How can I help you today, sir

380
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:18,720
Speaker 1: Hi Ryan, Well, thank you very much for your program.

381
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:21,639
Speaker 1: I love to love to listen to it. And you

382
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:24,879
Speaker 1: can put your scan tools away for my problem. I

383
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:28,280
Speaker 1: got a two thousand and eleven Grand Jeep Cherokee in

384
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:32,360
Speaker 1: the oil pan seal is starting to leak a little bit,

385
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:38,119
Speaker 1: and from what I've read on the on the jeep forums,

386
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:42,119
Speaker 1: you almost have to take the entire subframe out to

387
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 1: replace that seal, and of course support the engine before

388
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:48,320
Speaker 1: you do that. And which is this the V six

389
00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 1: of the V eight, Jim, this is the eight This

390
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:58,919
Speaker 1: is a small AHEMI okay, your question to me, so

391
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:02,360
Speaker 1: my question to you. And doing a little research, UM,

392
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:06,440
Speaker 1: I came across this uh stop seal um. At first

393
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 1: I looked at caseeal. I didn't see anything in there

394
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 1: catalog for oil pan gasket seal um. So this a

395
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:18,639
Speaker 1: T two L five re seal. It's made by a

396
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:22,440
Speaker 1: T p UM. It seems they have good results. This

397
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:24,479
Speaker 1: is on the internet. I just wanted to know if

398
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:27,119
Speaker 1: you had any experience with this. I have no experience

399
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:29,119
Speaker 1: with it. I mean it's it's not gonna hurt anything.

400
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:31,920
Speaker 1: It's surely worth a shot. How bad is the leak?

401
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:34,960
Speaker 1: And do you know it's the oil pan? Is it

402
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 1: the front? Is it the back? Um? You can um,

403
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:42,480
Speaker 1: you can tell on both sides. There's a little bit

404
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:45,720
Speaker 1: of a drip on on on several of the screws

405
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:49,480
Speaker 1: holding the oil pan. In everything else above it is

406
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:52,840
Speaker 1: dry and clean. It's got a hundred thousand miles on it.

407
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:54,919
Speaker 1: I only drive it a couple of thousand miles a

408
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 1: year now since I'm retired, so I don't know if

409
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:00,400
Speaker 1: since I don't drive in a lot of that has

410
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:02,560
Speaker 1: a lot to do with it. It does. I mean,

411
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 1: you know, things sit, they see, they start to stretch,

412
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:08,879
Speaker 1: they start to sag, so to speak. You know, the

413
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 1: worst thing in the world is letting a house sit

414
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 1: empty in a car, you know, sit driven in your

415
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:17,240
Speaker 1: in your driveway or garage. So you know that that

416
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 1: does have an, uh, you know, an effect on it.

417
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:23,080
Speaker 1: Um listen, I don't think you're gonna hurt anything by

418
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:26,239
Speaker 1: adding that seal or to it. Will it work? You know,

419
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 1: that's a whole another question. I do know the job

420
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:31,679
Speaker 1: you do have to support the engine up top and

421
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:33,760
Speaker 1: lower the cradle to just about get everything out of

422
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 1: the way. It's easily a day's labor if you've done

423
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:38,119
Speaker 1: the job. It's probably double that if you haven't. And

424
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:39,639
Speaker 1: that's if you're doing it on a lift, not on

425
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:41,919
Speaker 1: your back in the driveway on your back, and the

426
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 1: driveway is a bigger problem. So I you know, my

427
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:47,119
Speaker 1: my only other concern would be is how do you

428
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:49,199
Speaker 1: know it's not a rear main seal? So is it

429
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:51,080
Speaker 1: from the back of the engine. Is it along the

430
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:57,240
Speaker 1: side rails? Don't assume just because ahead towards the front

431
00:22:57,280 --> 00:22:59,399
Speaker 1: on the side rail. Okay, So it sounds like the

432
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:02,960
Speaker 1: pangasca seeping. Um, you know, just basics. I mean, don't

433
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:05,680
Speaker 1: kill it because I believe there's a crushed sleeve inside

434
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:08,359
Speaker 1: that gas get the prevention from overtworking. But have you

435
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 1: just tried gently snugging the nuts and bolts just to

436
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:14,520
Speaker 1: make sure nothing's loosened up over time? I have? I

437
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 1: have not, Yeah, I have not. Just just a gentle

438
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:19,359
Speaker 1: quarter inch stuff, just you know, give it a little

439
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 1: and um, you know, see see what that does for you.

440
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 1: But that then it's gonna be you know, um uh,

441
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:30,840
Speaker 1: you can try the sealer. I'm familiar with a t

442
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 1: P if it's who I think it is, and I

443
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:36,120
Speaker 1: think they make a decent product. And after that then

444
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:38,160
Speaker 1: it's going to be doing oil pan. But then you've

445
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:41,119
Speaker 1: got to decide, you know, is it just the oil

446
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:42,720
Speaker 1: pan or is it something else? And you want to

447
00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 1: be sure big job easily easily, easily too grand by

448
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:49,840
Speaker 1: the time you're done, I would have to guess. I

449
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:52,200
Speaker 1: don't doubt it. Yeah, I don't doubt it. Now? Can

450
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:56,320
Speaker 1: I can I pick your brain on your fifty You

451
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:58,520
Speaker 1: always tease us a little bit about that what kind

452
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:01,399
Speaker 1: of drive train do we have? In? Um? That is

453
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:04,920
Speaker 1: a hand built small block, just a you know, I say,

454
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:08,199
Speaker 1: it's a cast iron small block. It's a real boring car. Uh,

455
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:11,160
Speaker 1: you know, it isn't a sense. My dream was too

456
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:14,800
Speaker 1: you know, I wanted I wanted five horse on the

457
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:16,919
Speaker 1: street with a four barrel and turnkey. I don't want

458
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:18,560
Speaker 1: to have to work on it. I work on everything

459
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:22,639
Speaker 1: else all day long. So you know, it was. I

460
00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:24,760
Speaker 1: went down to the machine shop, I did my research.

461
00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:27,840
Speaker 1: I talked to the guys, and um, you know it

462
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:32,520
Speaker 1: dinod five thirty seven for what the heck did it do?

463
00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:35,960
Speaker 1: It did five thirty seven horsepower, uh, with a red

464
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 1: line after rpm horsepower fell off, and I think it

465
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:46,240
Speaker 1: built maximum torque around fifty two and it was like

466
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:48,359
Speaker 1: four nineties, so it's a little bit of a thumper

467
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:52,399
Speaker 1: four nine four eighties something like that. Uh, five speed

468
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:57,080
Speaker 1: tremic for nine ten gears, you know, just just just

469
00:24:57,280 --> 00:25:00,439
Speaker 1: enough to you know, it's not completely insane, and it's

470
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:02,959
Speaker 1: but you know what, everybody looks at it and nobody,

471
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 1: you know, and it's fine, Listen, I'm fine with nobody

472
00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 1: looking at my hot rod. I really don't care. Uh.

473
00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:09,800
Speaker 1: You know, it's it's it just gets because it's not

474
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:12,240
Speaker 1: an ls, because it doesn't have air conditioning, because it

475
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:15,000
Speaker 1: doesn't have a blower sticking out through the hood, because

476
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 1: I didn't carve. I've heard all the excuses why the

477
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:20,159
Speaker 1: car isn't nice. Um I didn't. I didn't carve up

478
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:24,040
Speaker 1: the wheel wells Uh you know it's I couldn't do

479
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:26,919
Speaker 1: all that to this car. This was an original. But

480
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:29,280
Speaker 1: I can talk about this whole the rest of the show. Um.

481
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 1: This was an original fifty five two door post car

482
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:35,480
Speaker 1: with thirty seven thousand miles on it that had been

483
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:39,159
Speaker 1: sitting since nineteen fifty eight. And I found it in

484
00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:44,399
Speaker 1: nine and the original owner had died walked away. The

485
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:47,880
Speaker 1: nephew had the keys, I had the title. I bought

486
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:50,280
Speaker 1: the car and then restored it and put it back together.

487
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:53,520
Speaker 1: Uh you know, I just I couldn't cut that car up.

488
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:57,600
Speaker 1: I couldn't hurt that car. Um. You know, but thank you.

489
00:25:57,640 --> 00:25:59,200
Speaker 1: That was kind of refreshing. I have to take the

490
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:02,160
Speaker 1: hot rod out tonight. Um. Yeah. I put a couple

491
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:05,000
Speaker 1: more pictures of it up on the website. There's only

492
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:07,560
Speaker 1: one picture up there, and and I kind of like

493
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:11,240
Speaker 1: to see it. Yeah, that's got it's got original steering.

494
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:14,080
Speaker 1: Or did you go with pinions original steering, I like,

495
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:16,920
Speaker 1: I like trying to kill myself. Um, you know, the

496
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:20,480
Speaker 1: real you know, the real beauty of a fifty five Chevy.

497
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:22,760
Speaker 1: And this is where I kind of lose interest in

498
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:25,119
Speaker 1: some of these cars. And I get it. Listen in

499
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:27,560
Speaker 1: rack and pinions. You know, a fifty five Chevy was

500
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:31,119
Speaker 1: meant to be mechanical. You know, I'm sorry, that's just

501
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 1: my line. It was meant to be a challenge to drive.

502
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:35,800
Speaker 1: It was meant to be a challenge to steer and stop.

503
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:39,840
Speaker 1: And that was the whole fifty five experience. Uh, you know,

504
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:43,400
Speaker 1: it's it's And I guess if the car wasn't so

505
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:46,880
Speaker 1: original and so nice, maybe I would be more open

506
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:51,239
Speaker 1: to removing some of these pieces. But when when I

507
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:53,439
Speaker 1: tell you we took the car apart, Jim, and then

508
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:56,040
Speaker 1: I gotta go. When we took the car apart, I'll

509
00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:59,879
Speaker 1: never forget. We took the right doorsill plate off, the

510
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 1: pull up the carpet, and there was a pile of

511
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:07,760
Speaker 1: screws under the sill plate because when George at the

512
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:10,480
Speaker 1: assembly line in Tarrytown, New York, where the car was

513
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:12,960
Speaker 1: built or whatever his name was, leaned over to put

514
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 1: the screw in the silk plate. A half a dozen

515
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:17,240
Speaker 1: screws fell out of his parkt went into the out

516
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:19,200
Speaker 1: of his pocket, went into the carpet, and they put

517
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:21,520
Speaker 1: the silk plate down right on top of it. I'll

518
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:24,200
Speaker 1: never forget that. They were just the screws from fifty five,

519
00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:27,399
Speaker 1: like a time capsule. That's how original this car was.

520
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:31,320
Speaker 1: This car had the original markings on the firewall where

521
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:33,720
Speaker 1: the guys on the assembly line signed off after the

522
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:36,080
Speaker 1: battery was put in it. I mean, all the crazy

523
00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:38,600
Speaker 1: things they did when they built the fifty five Chevy.

524
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:40,960
Speaker 1: I should have probably restored it original, but I had

525
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:42,359
Speaker 1: to make it a hot rod. That much I had

526
00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:45,840
Speaker 1: to do so I feel revived now. Thanks Jim, I

527
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:48,000
Speaker 1: appreciate it. I'll listen. Let me know what happens with

528

00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:48,840
Speaker 1: Let's get over and talk to Carol and Florida. Florida's

547
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:50,520
Speaker 1: coming in loud and strong today. They must know I'm

548
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:53,800
Speaker 1: coming down on vacation. Um oh, five Suburban, Hey, Carol,

549
00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:56,920
Speaker 1: how can I help? Hey? One was great to hear

550
00:28:56,960 --> 00:29:00,200
Speaker 1: from you. I'll listen. We just love your show. I'll

551
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:03,440
Speaker 1: tell you why I'm calling. I've got this so five Suburban,

552
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:07,240
Speaker 1: you know, my baby. And when I'm making either a

553
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:10,560
Speaker 1: hard left or a hard right turn, and this only

554
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:15,680
Speaker 1: happens periodically, the power steering will give out and it's

555
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:18,920
Speaker 1: very hard to turn the car into wherever. I'm going

556
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:22,720
Speaker 1: to say, a parking lot, you know. And my husband

557
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 1: called Royal Purple and they said they've never heard of

558
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 1: this happening. And we bought the car about six months

559
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 1: ago and it's got about a hundred and eighty thousand

560
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:35,880
Speaker 1: miles ago, and from what we can tell in the

561
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:39,960
Speaker 1: service records, the power steering fluid has never been changed.

562
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:42,960
Speaker 1: So that we thought that's where we would start with

563
00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:45,960
Speaker 1: putting the World Purple fluid in there and saying that

564
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:48,640
Speaker 1: would help. But I wanted to get your thoughts on

565
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:53,200
Speaker 1: what the mystery might be. I'm all for fluid maintenance.

566
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:55,280
Speaker 1: I think you know that about me by now, right.

567
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:58,320
Speaker 1: I I you know whether it's Royal Purple or manufacturer

568
00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:01,640
Speaker 1: or spec or um. The stuff from Lucas. Lucas makes

569
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:05,280
Speaker 1: a real good power steering fluid. Uh pump stealer. Uh,

570
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:07,520
Speaker 1: you know it's all good and I'm all for it.

571
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:12,120
Speaker 1: I don't think that's going to solve your problem. Uh.

572
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:14,000
Speaker 1: The only thing that comes to mind is do we

573
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:18,320
Speaker 1: have an internal fault in the pump? I would think

574
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:20,520
Speaker 1: it should be you should be able to duplicate it

575
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:23,000
Speaker 1: by when you crank the wheel all the way hard, left,

576
00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:26,120
Speaker 1: hard right. You're calling from maximum pressure out of the pump.

577
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:29,560
Speaker 1: Could you you know, do you hear the pump wine change?

578
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:32,800
Speaker 1: Does the pump wine at all? Does anything other than

579
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:34,720
Speaker 1: not being able to steer? Do you notice any of

580
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:42,600
Speaker 1: the characteristics different about the way the vehicle operates? Okay,

581
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:45,360
Speaker 1: and it's not. The simplest thing would be it's not

582
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:47,720
Speaker 1: a loose belt, right, they've you've looked at the belt.

583
00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:50,920
Speaker 1: The belts tight. It's it's not a possibility that the

584
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:56,120
Speaker 1: belt itself is slipping against the pump, against the pulley.

585
00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:58,480
Speaker 1: You know, I'm gonna have to get my husband to

586
00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:01,200
Speaker 1: take a look at that, just so you know. It's

587
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:04,000
Speaker 1: a it's a serf belt and it it You would

588
00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:07,600
Speaker 1: think it would make noise, but you know, my first

589
00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:09,719
Speaker 1: thought is if it's doing it left or right turns,

590
00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:12,120
Speaker 1: do I have correct pressure out of the pump. But

591
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:15,640
Speaker 1: by the same token, um let's break it down this way.

592
00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:17,800
Speaker 1: There's a couple of things. This could be all right.

593
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:21,120
Speaker 1: This could be a power steering pump. This could be

594
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:23,680
Speaker 1: a box. This could be a steering knuckle or a

595
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:27,160
Speaker 1: steering shift. Um let's rule them out. I don't see

596
00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:29,800
Speaker 1: how it could be a steering shift, because the steering

597
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:34,080
Speaker 1: shift doesn't know extreme harder right, left hand turns, et cetera.

598
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:38,280
Speaker 1: It's a steering shift. Would usually buckle or bind low speed,

599
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:41,000
Speaker 1: high speed, it doesn't matter you're turning it. It's bound.

600
00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:44,160
Speaker 1: It's a tight joint. It's it's it's not gonna feel right.

601
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:46,000
Speaker 1: So I think we can take that off the table.

602
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:49,440
Speaker 1: We're down to either a box or a pump. Which

603
00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:53,400
Speaker 1: is it? Um you know the fact that the pump

604
00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:56,360
Speaker 1: is the pumping box or are the boxing pump original?

605
00:31:56,760 --> 00:32:02,600
Speaker 1: And do they show any signs of wetness of leakage? Okay, okay,

606
00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:06,680
Speaker 1: that's that's that's question number one. Question number two, you know,

607
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:09,320
Speaker 1: does it have the correct amount of fluid in it?

608
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:12,040
Speaker 1: I mean, let's let's cover basics. You know, low fluid

609
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:16,120
Speaker 1: is are you able to cause aeration if you were

610
00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:18,160
Speaker 1: to crank the wheel back and forth, shut it off

611
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:20,840
Speaker 1: and pop the cap? Is the fluid air rated and

612
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:23,600
Speaker 1: there's gonna be some airation and power steering fluid? But

613
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:26,120
Speaker 1: is it extreme? Is it foamy? You know? Could we

614
00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:28,719
Speaker 1: have an internal seal leak that's causing at the cross

615
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:32,000
Speaker 1: League and lose lack of power steering assist. Let me

616
00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:33,920
Speaker 1: ask you this. When it goes into this no power

617
00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:36,840
Speaker 1: steering assist, what makes it come back and start to

618
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:43,719
Speaker 1: work again? You know? It just it just comes back. Okay.

619
00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:45,880
Speaker 1: What when you release the wheel or you shut the

620
00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:47,440
Speaker 1: truck off, Let it sit for a minute, and then

621
00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:52,160
Speaker 1: all of a sudden starts working again. Oh when the wheel? Okay?

622
00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:54,040
Speaker 1: So are you saying that if a mechanic were to

623
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:56,760
Speaker 1: put this in the hard left or hard right extreme position,

624
00:32:57,160 --> 00:33:02,200
Speaker 1: they would lose power steering assist? Uh? Sometimes it doesn't

625
00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:05,080
Speaker 1: happen all the time. Then then the then the ability

626
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:07,000
Speaker 1: to diagnose it is there. They could put a pressure

627
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:09,680
Speaker 1: gauge on the line and see what maximum pump output

628
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:13,120
Speaker 1: pressure is, and that's going to be the next step. Okay,

629
00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:16,600
Speaker 1: good enough, all right, thank you so much. You're very welcome.

630
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:21,120
Speaker 1: You're very welcome. You're very welcome. Care, you're very welcome. Oh,

640
00:33:57,960 --> 00:34:01,320
Speaker 1: So I'm always under the gun, I really am. But yeah,

641
00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:03,120
Speaker 1: I know how hot could it be in Florida in August.

642
00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:07,600
Speaker 1: It's not the heat in Florida during this time of year,

643
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:11,120
Speaker 1: it's the humidity. I know. Listen. It was a listen

644
00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:12,840
Speaker 1: between you and me and the other and the and

Speaker 1: going along for the ride this time. So this way,

649
00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:24,480
Speaker 1: sometimes you have to do this as the as the patriarchs,

650
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:26,319
Speaker 1: so that they realize how right you are the rest

651
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:28,960
Speaker 1: of the time. Um, speaking of Florida, would be a

663
00:34:57,680 --> 00:34:59,719
Speaker 1: we've been using it off and on in the last

664
00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:03,360
Speaker 1: couple of months, solving some problems on older vehicles, and

665

673
00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:27,479
Speaker 1: two tabs you stick in the duct and they turn

674
00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:29,680
Speaker 1: color as the system starts to charge, and when they

675
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:32,920
Speaker 1: reach the proper charge level, they turn. You know different colors,

676
00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:35,440
Speaker 1: so you know you're correct. Um. Good stuff. You can
