1
00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:02,960
Speaker 1: Ron Ananian, You've always got to worry about somebody on

2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:06,560
Speaker 1: the road at sixty five seventy miles an hour hitting pothole.

3
00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:08,840
Speaker 1: If a pothole, af a pothole, and the load that

4
00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:19,479
Speaker 1: tires take. The car Doctor, are you thinking that my

5
00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:22,840
Speaker 1: best deal would be to get rid of this and

6
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:25,000
Speaker 1: get a new car? Well, because what are we hanging

7
00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:27,720
Speaker 1: on to We're trying to you know, it's it's not

8
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:30,479
Speaker 1: a three year old car, it's a ten year old car.

9
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:34,320
Speaker 2: Welcome to the radio home of ron Anian, the Car Doctor.

10
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:37,680
Speaker 2: Since nineteen ninety one, this is where car owners the

11
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:42,000
Speaker 2: world overturned to for their definitive opinion on automotive repair.

12
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:45,280
Speaker 2: If your mechanics giving you a busy signal, pick up

13
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:46,599
Speaker 2: the phone and call in.

14
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 1: The garage doors are open, but I am here to

15
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 1: take your call. At eight five five five six ninety

16
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 1: nine hundred and now he.

17
00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 3: Running.

18
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 1: I was thinking about David from a pre hour. We

19
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 1: were talking to him about his daughter's jeep in Kentucky,

20
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 1: a twenty fourteen Jeep Patriot with I guess he was

21
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 1: saying it has between ninety and one hundred thousand miles

22
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 1: on it that they just bought within the last six

23
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 1: months and they're having problems with it. I was thinking

24
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 1: about that and saying, look a look at what we're buying.

25
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:22,759
Speaker 1: Look at what we're selling, right'. It's a ten year

26
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 1: old vehicle with almost one hundred thousand miles on it

27
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 1: and for whatever cost. You know that that's what That's

28
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 1: what you guys, all of you are willing to take

29
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,679
Speaker 1: on because of the price of new cars. Sure, everybody

30
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:38,120
Speaker 1: would like to drive, you know, buy something newer by

31
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 1: something with less mileage, But it comes down to the pocketbook.

32
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:42,480
Speaker 1: What does the pocketbook allow? What kind of you know,

33
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 1: it's a financial statement, I guess, you know, I guess

34
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 1: I'm really thinking about that. You know, is is the

35
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 1: value or the acceptance of an older used car across

36
00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 1: a wider social spectrum? Is that a sign of the

37
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 1: fine financial times? You know? Can we use audo repair

38
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 1: to indicate the prosperity or lack of in the country?

39
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 1: You know, you wonder is it a sign of things

40
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 1: to come or what's going on? You know, because as

41
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,079
Speaker 1: I said in the opening hour of a previous hour

42
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:17,239
Speaker 1: that you know, we saw some crazy numbers out of

43
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 1: the shop that week where they're spending you know, two

44
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 1: four six eight thousand dollars on fifteen twenty year old

45
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 1: cars like it's nothing because it's it's it's cheaper to

46
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 1: take care of that than it is to go out

47
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 1: and purchase a new one because of the costs involved.

48
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 1: And I've said this before, I'll say it again. You know,

49
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 1: they're losing site. The powers that be are losing site

50
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 1: of what an automobile is supposed to be, transportation back

51
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 1: and forth A to B. You know, anything else is

52
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 1: just extra and it's not necessary every time all the time.

53
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 1: I am I don't know, just thinking, you know, the

54
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 1: social ramifications of order repair and the social acceptance of

55
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 1: what order repair represents and what people are willing to

56
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 1: people are willing to accept and try and deal with.

57
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 1: So I give credit to all of you that are

58
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:07,240
Speaker 1: trying to fix older cars, because you know it's not

59
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 1: easy and there's an awful lot going on. Let's get

60
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 1: to the phones. I'm ronning Ny and the car doctor.

61
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 1: Let's let's crank the phones open and get going. Tom

62
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 1: and Arizona. We'll start there with a follow up on

63
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,359
Speaker 1: the coolant well story. Tom, welcome back, sir. Would you

64
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 1: refresh everybody's memory on what the actual problem was and

65
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 1: then what became of it.

66
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, so my complaint was black coolant. It was black

67
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 4: in color, and you suggested to send it a sample to.

68
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 1: I think Blackstone Blackstone Labs.

69
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 4: Sure, and I did, and it took a while to

70
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 4: get the answer back, and they came back and said

71
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,839
Speaker 4: there's no oil or fuel they could detect. The only

72
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 4: thing is maybe the specific gravity was off a little bit,

73
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 4: and they recommended changing it.

74
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 1: So I went.

75
00:03:53,760 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 4: To my favorite, one of my favorite in town terisers.

76
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 4: They did it like ten years ago. They had a

77
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 4: cool an exchange machine, so that that to me, was

78
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 4: going to get everything exchanged. And so I went there

79
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:16,280
Speaker 4: and it turned out after afterwards because they weren't sure

80
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 4: if they did it, because I'm like, I don't even

81
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:23,280
Speaker 4: see the upper radiator hose disconnected, are you know? Like

82
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 4: they went in there and the overflow pool still looked black.

83
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:28,480
Speaker 4: So I want to talk to the service writer and

84
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 4: he's like, no, no, we did it. We changed machines,

85
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,839
Speaker 4: and I'm like, okay, And it was a it's a

86
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:38,039
Speaker 4: instead of machines actually where they just connect the upper

87
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:42,159
Speaker 4: radiator hose at the thermostat housing and have one coming

88
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:46,479
Speaker 4: in the machine and another out. They're taking flewid out

89
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 4: and then at the same time while the cars running.

90
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 4: This is their new machine is they said? He says,

91
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 4: we vacuum it out, we get it up, we get

92
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,720
Speaker 4: the car up the temperature, and they shut it off

93
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:02,839
Speaker 4: and then they put a vacuum and suck it all out.

94
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 4: And I'm wondering, have you experienced that or heard about

95
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 4: this new process, newer process, because to me, once you

96
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 4: shut the engine off, to me, the thermostat is going

97
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 4: to close down.

98
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 1: Well, the thermostat. I'm not so worried about the thermostat

99
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:18,720
Speaker 1: closing tom because it'll take time as the engine cools.

100
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 1: But my concern becomes, how are they going to vacuum

101
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 1: out what's in the heater core? You know, not all

102
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 1: not all parts of the radiator are or I'm sorry,

103
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,239
Speaker 1: not all parts of the cooling system or positioned such

104
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 1: that all the components will allow the coolant to drain

105
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 1: and run downhill, so to speak. Otherwise, you know, how

106
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,479
Speaker 1: do you get the last vestiges of coolant out of

107
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 1: the block around the bottom of the cylinders. We use

108
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:46,599
Speaker 1: a Mala coolant machine all right in the shop and

109
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 1: it's still traditional. Hook up to the hoses, you know,

110
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 1: turn the knobs and dials, you know, go through the process.

111
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 1: It's a very good machine. It's very complete, very thorough.

112
00:05:55,760 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 1: Mala's got it, very well thought out. Cars off, Cars off,

113
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 1: Cars off. We've always we've always done it. We've always

114
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 1: done it, key on, you know, engine off, all right,

115
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 1: And the idea is that you're pushing old coolant out

116
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 1: with new you know, being displaced by new coolant. And

117
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,600
Speaker 1: the idea becomes it you're you're you're going through all

118
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 1: the circulatory passages so that you know you're actually taking

119
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 1: not just coolant, but any dirt, debris, crud, et cetera.

120
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 1: The only thing any coolant machine won't really solve, all right,

121
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 1: is if that coolant overflow or expansion tank, if that

122
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:41,280
Speaker 1: plastic tank is dirty. It seems that once the once

123
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:44,920
Speaker 1: the crud gets etched into the plastic, it never really

124
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 1: comes looser, comes out, and you end up replacing the bottle,

125
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:51,280
Speaker 1: and you probably should on this car, it's twenty years old.

126
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:54,039
Speaker 1: And if it's got contaminated coolant or some sort of

127
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:57,479
Speaker 1: coolant issue where it was really that badly stained coroded,

128
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:00,600
Speaker 1: et cetera, a bottle's cheap enough, dorm and one. I'm

129
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 1: sure you'll find one on the Dorman you know website

130
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 1: Dormanproducts dot com. You'll find when they're Go down to

131
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 1: your local ATO zone and pick one up. It's easy

132
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 1: enough to change. I know you can do that. You've

133
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 1: done so many other things with this car.

134
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 4: But uh yeah, so back to your method. How do

135
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 4: you get past the closed thermostat?

136
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 1: Thermostat's still open, so you brought it up the temperature there, right, Yeah,

137
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 1: we've either brought it up the temperature, or, in some cases,

138
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:29,239
Speaker 1: depending upon the vehicle and accessibility, the thermostat's being pushed

139
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 1: open by the machine.

140
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 4: Okay, all right, So anyway, I still think I have

141
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 4: a contamination problem. So I'm just going to change all

142
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 4: the hoses again and blush it myself.

143
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 3: Yeah.

144
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 1: I don't think that's a bad idea unless you can

145
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 1: find somebody with a machine. I've never seen a vacuum machine,

146
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 1: and I don't I don't understand how that would work. Frankly,

147
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 1: somebody would have to explain the science of it to me.

148
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 1: Can you find out the brand?

149
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 5: Can you?

150
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 1: Can you find out the brand name of the machine

151
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 1: and see whose machine it is.

152
00:07:57,920 --> 00:07:59,679
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'll try now, now.

153
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 1: Tom, waitite before Tom, before you go. In all fairness,

154
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 1: my Mala machine has a vacuum feature on it. I

155
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 1: can vac but I use it to vacuum out the

156
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 1: expansion tank, you know, if the expansion tank or the

157
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 1: overflow bottle. But as far as the radiator in the

158
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 1: entire cooling system, no, you don't use it for that.

159
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 4: That's what he said he did. He said they put

160
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 4: it they actually vacuum the overflow tank, but they actually

161
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 4: put it on top of the radiator cap the radiator

162
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 4: after it was up the temperature, and vacuum it out. Yeah.

163
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 1: I don't see how that's I think that's a misuse

164
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 1: of the machine. I think they misunderstand how it works.

165
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:40,320
Speaker 1: You know, if if you want send them out, to

166
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:43,199
Speaker 1: send them out to the Mala website. I believe it's

167
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 1: service Solutions dot Mala dot com and let them see

168
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 1: how a real machine works. Or maybe they've got a

169
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 1: Mala and they just don't understand how it's supposed to operate.

170
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 4: Okay, all right, you're.

171
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:54,440
Speaker 1: A welcome sir. Good luck to you. Isn't that isn't

172
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 1: that crazy? I don't see how they could. I don't

173
00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 1: see how they could do that. You know it's it's

174
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 1: designed to disconnected the hoses one in, one out. You know,

175
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 1: the vacuum feature is there, like I said, to extract

176
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 1: out of the bottle, and that just doesn't make any

177
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:12,720
Speaker 1: sense to me. Let's pull over, take the pause eight

178

00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:47,560
Speaker 1: Here's Rob. Hey, let's go visit Dodge down in Delaware. Dodge,

186
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 1: how are you today, ron An Inian at your service, sir?

187
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 1: What's going on?

188
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:52,319
Speaker 3: I'm good, Thanks for taking my call.

189
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:53,439
Speaker 1: You're welcome. What's cooking?

190
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:57,720
Speaker 3: So? I traded my twenty fourteen jeeped in on a

191
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 3: new four Runner Toyota fifty grand, right and unbelievable. After

192
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:08,560
Speaker 3: had a few days, I discovered it doesn't have remote

193
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 3: start okay, which really picked me off. So I'm checking

194
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 3: out some aftermarket remote start install kits and I want

195
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 3: to know what you think about that.

196
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:25,720
Speaker 1: You know it must be the holidays, because I've gotten

197
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:29,959
Speaker 1: probably a half a dozen or more requests about this

198
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 1: just this past week alone. Everybody's looking at remote starts,

199
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 1: it seems. I will tell you that with newer toyotas

200
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 1: that if it had factory remote start on it, I

201
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 1: believe they're giving away a certain number of months free

202
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 1: and then after that there's a fee believe it or

203
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 1: not for maintaining remote start.

204
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 3: View view if my car doesn't have that ability. Contacted

205
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:56,199
Speaker 3: to Yoda directly, they I can't do that. You're talking

206
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:58,560
Speaker 3: about the app right now? Now?

207
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 1: Can they? Add? Is there a is there a dealer

208
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 1: installed add on for remote start?

209
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:07,680
Speaker 3: I called all dealers in my area. They all referred

210
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 3: me to some act site and sound installedal company.

211
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:17,320
Speaker 1: Right, And what they have to say, well, I don't

212
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:18,040
Speaker 1: want to talk to them.

213
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 3: I don't have any faith in them.

214
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:28,720
Speaker 1: Well, so you know, emotions aside Dodge, all right, it's

215
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 1: what's going to work best for the vehicle. The problem

216
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 1: is there are so many modules involved in a remote

217
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:38,720
Speaker 1: start sequence. It's not like we're just trying to engage

218
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 1: a starter and start this up. There has to be

219
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 1: concern for data communication between modules, safety overruns, and some

220
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 1: of the features that they put into remote start now.

221
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:54,320
Speaker 1: So I haven't looked at a remote start aftermarket in

222
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:56,720
Speaker 1: a very long time, if this says anything. When I

223
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:59,200
Speaker 1: purchased my new Chevy truck a year and a half ago,

224
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:04,199
Speaker 1: there was a remote start kit available from GM, and

225
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:07,720
Speaker 1: I installed it. GM activated it and I never looked back.

226
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 1: And the installation was all plug and play. It was,

227
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:14,080
Speaker 1: you know, no cutting of wires. It was just you know,

228
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 1: unplugging computers, putting in jumper harnesses, putting them in between

229
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,840
Speaker 1: interfaces and so on, and at work, I got it.

230
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 3: And I've done a little bit of investigation work and

231
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 3: there are some plug and play only kits right basically

232
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 3: hooked to the the computer radio system. And there's no

233
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 3: question I could do it myself. I'm confident enough but

234
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 3: that I have that ability. But I'm just was wondering

235
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:43,560
Speaker 3: what you think about this, And you're not familiar with

236
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 3: the particular toyota for a runner remote start aftermarket kit.

237
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:48,720
Speaker 3: I get it.

238
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:51,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, I understand that, Yeah I am. I just you

239
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 1: know what, if I was going out to buy an

240
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 1: aftermarket kit, I would probably spend more time doing research,

241
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 1: more so than normal because of the concerns of what

242
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:04,680
Speaker 1: can happen, not just on installed now, but I'm worried

243
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 1: about if the system the grades or has a problem

244
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:09,960
Speaker 1: three to five to six to seven years from now,

245
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 1: how am I going to diagnose it? And how does

246
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 1: that interface affect it? At least with a factory installed system.

247
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:20,960
Speaker 1: Or in this case, if the Toyota dealer says XYZ

248
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:24,200
Speaker 1: company is the company, we now have a leg to

249
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:28,440
Speaker 1: stand on. If two years from now, let's make this easy,

250
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:31,080
Speaker 1: I don't know how long is the warranty on this truck.

251
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:32,439
Speaker 1: Three years, five years?

252
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:35,080
Speaker 3: Are they're saying it's four years?

253
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:38,559
Speaker 1: Okay, So three years from now, all of a sudden

254
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:42,480
Speaker 1: the truck does something weird, shuts off, stalls, I don't care.

255
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 1: Pick a symptom right, and they determine the diagnostic root

256
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 1: causes something to do with the remote start kit that

257
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 1: you put in. Now, how does the warranty get affected?

258
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 1: Whereas if the company that Toyota recommends to put it

259
00:13:57,440 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 1: in puts it in, You've got to go ask that

260
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 1: company in that scenario, how would my warranty be affected?

261
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 1: If they say to you, hey, we don't what we

262
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:09,320
Speaker 1: do doesn't compromise warranty. If it does, we stand behind it.

263
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:12,959
Speaker 1: That's a very different conversation. And Dodge decides to put

264
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:16,440
Speaker 1: it in because he's annoyed at Toyota and creates a

265
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 1: problem later on. I'm not packing.

266
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:21,480
Speaker 3: I asked him that I couldn't get a stret answer.

267
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 3: It's like I got, I got a political response.

268
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 1: Right. Well, you asked that question to who the Toyota

269
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 1: dealer or the remote Start coming.

270
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 3: I asked that question to Toyota, Toyota hotline and the dealer.

271
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:37,120
Speaker 1: Right, go ask the remote Start company and look up

272
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 1: the reviews. Hey, listen, if you look at the reviews.

273
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 1: So the remote Start company the Toyota recommend.

274
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 3: Look, I've read hunter of them. Yeah, and there's some

275
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 3: incredible videos about to install.

276
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 1: No, no, no, no. The company that Toyota recommends is they don't.

277
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 3: They don't recommend a remote a remount kit. They recommend

278
00:14:56,480 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 3: a local dealer of citing sound they can install on

279
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 3: for it.

280
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 1: Right, but what what is that company's reviews? That's my point.

281
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 3: They're all over the place.

282
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, then it's it sounds like a roll of

283
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:16,320
Speaker 1: the dice kid, though it really does, you know, I've got.

284
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 3: That's why I'm at. That's why i'm at. I think

285
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 3: I might just do it myself.

286
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 1: Right, It sounds like it sounds like a roll of

287
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 1: the dice. There's a website out there. I believe it's

288
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 1: four Runner Lifestyle dot com. And I know that because

289
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 1: I've got a few customers with fore Runners and I've

290
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:34,800
Speaker 1: looked at some of the stuff they have. You might

291
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 1: find a remote start kit there. I'm sure their reviews

292
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:40,360
Speaker 1: are all over the place too. But you know, I

293
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:42,760
Speaker 1: can't say that I've ever done one. I've never had

294
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:46,360
Speaker 1: anybody make that request for a Toyota remote start because

295
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 1: most of it's done at the dealer or a dealer level.

296
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:51,880
Speaker 1: You know, it's you. You can't be the only guy

297
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:53,960
Speaker 1: faced with this. I would just be cautious about the

298
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 1: installed kit. I always say anything installed after market, I

299
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 1: want to know what effects are, what effect it's gonna

300
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:04,560
Speaker 1: I have on warranty, and what sort of information do

301
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 1: I need to properly install it, you know, to make

302
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 1: sure that they do that, you know, top shelf, because

303
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 1: you're not fooling around with there's an awful lot of

304
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 1: electronics under that hood today, so to speak.

305
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 3: Right, and I don't want to burn my house.

306
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 1: Dan either, Well, you know, well buy an EV that'll

307
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 1: solve that problem. No, I don't wish that upon you.

308
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 1: So all right, kiddo, all right, thank you, You're very welcome. Yeah,

309
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:31,440
Speaker 1: remote starts are not to be taken lightly. No, no,

310
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 1: pundit intended. And you know, he's not the first person

311
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:36,720
Speaker 1: to ask me that this week. I've had quite a few.

312
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 1: And you know it's not We're not going to go

313
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 1: in there and start cutting wires randomly. We're not going

314
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 1: to go in there and start just you know, well,

315
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 1: I think this goes here and this goes there. I

316
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 1: was fortunate in that when I purchased my GM truck,

317
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 1: GM made one direct and I would I would still

318
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:55,280
Speaker 1: check Toyota and see if it's listed there as an accessory,

319
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 1: you know, because the dealer says it doesn't mean it's

320
00:16:57,200 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 1: so I would see if Toyota listed as an accessory

321
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 1: at on, because I'm sure there's a way to do that.

322
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:07,199
Speaker 1: But doing that on your own today without the or

323
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:13,200
Speaker 1: with the consequence of geez, just so much intermodule communication

324
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 1: that the vehicle has to have in order to operate properly.

325
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:21,160
Speaker 1: We said this geez. Fifteen years ago, maybe eighteen years ago,

326
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:26,400
Speaker 1: when we started seeing Volkswagens with radios that were aftermarket installed,

327
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 1: and people were failing inspection in New Jersey because of

328
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:33,679
Speaker 1: the radio. It was preventing the vehicle from running its

329
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:37,200
Speaker 1: monitors or self tests. I remember this, and you would

330
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 1: go to diagnose it and it would be a communication

331
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 1: fault and then there would be a performance error. Volkswagen

332
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 1: eventually came out with a software update and corrected it

333
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 1: and worked around it. But my point becomes that everything

334
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:53,720
Speaker 1: is interdependent upon everything else, and it's not just though,

335
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:55,239
Speaker 1: let's just put a remote start, and let's just put

336
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:59,919
Speaker 1: a radio, and let's just you can't. Everything is so intertwined,

337
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:03,919
Speaker 1: interconnected today that you know you've got to look at

338
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:07,440
Speaker 1: the overall system. You can't put anything you want into

339
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:11,000
Speaker 1: a vehicle today any more than you could put a

340
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 1: CD player into something if there's no connection on the

341
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:16,400
Speaker 1: motherboard to accept it. So just be aware. I'm Ronning

342
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:18,159
Speaker 1: Ay and the car doctor. I'll be back right after this.

343
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:25,320
Speaker 5: Ron's in his own the auto's own studio, and he'll

344
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 5: be back right after this.

345
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:48,960
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the auto's own studio. Here's Ron. You know,

346
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 1: I just want to make one quick comment about our

347
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:53,600
Speaker 1: last call with Dodge. And you know I've gotten the

348
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 1: no Dodge through emails and such an He's a great

349
00:18:56,880 --> 00:19:00,400
Speaker 1: listener and very passionate mechanic, and I understand that I've

350
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 1: got to make a list. I think it's important when

351
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 1: you walk into a dealership to buy a car. Listen.

352
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:07,119
Speaker 1: I went out to order the prime rib for Christmas today,

353
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 1: and you know I didn't take the list with me.

354
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:12,360
Speaker 1: You know, I walked in I need a five rib

355
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 1: prime Rib, and you know the boss said, make sure

356
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 1: you get it bone in and the butcher said, yeah,

357
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:19,520
Speaker 1: no problem, we'll do. We'll separate it from the bone

358
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:21,400
Speaker 1: and tie it together. He signed my worst and down

359
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:23,199
Speaker 1: the road and I walked out, going, wait, am I

360
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 1: getting the right thing? I didn't have my list with me.

361
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:26,720
Speaker 1: Gotta have a list. Gotta have a list when you

362
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 1: go to the dealership and you know, these are the

363
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:30,399
Speaker 1: things I'm looking for, Otherwise you might end up with

364
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 1: a prime rib the wrong way on Christmas Day. Way,

365
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:34,359
Speaker 1: I'm only going to hear about that. I'll go to

366
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:38,120
Speaker 1: Tom's house. Let's uh, let's go to Brian in Philadelphia

367
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:40,600
Speaker 1: and see what's going on here? Seventeen fusion. Brian, Welcome

368
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 1: to the car doctor, sir, How can I help Ron?

369
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:43,880
Speaker 6: How you doing good?

370
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:44,120
Speaker 3: Brother?

371
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 1: What's going on?

372
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:45,640
Speaker 3: Oh?

373
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:49,160
Speaker 6: I'm doing okay. I got a question. There's no real

374
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:52,639
Speaker 6: problem with the car. I got ninety thousand miles. I

375
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 6: followed the maintenance guide pretty much to a t. All right,

376
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:58,919
Speaker 6: One thing I questioned. It says the transfluid does not

377
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:01,200
Speaker 6: have to be changed to one hundred and fifty thousand,

378
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 6: and that seems too long. Yeah, I just wanted your

379
00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 6: take on it.

380
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 1: No, you never need to change it. You just change

381
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:07,639
Speaker 1: it when you change the car, and you get a

382
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:10,159
Speaker 1: whole other you get, you know, you get you know.

383
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:13,440
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what, Brian. Our thinking on this has

384
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:16,400
Speaker 1: gotten tighter in the last couple of years. A lot

385
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 1: of the manufacturers have come out with conversations about never

386
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:23,359
Speaker 1: changing trans fluid again, What do people want to buy

387
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:25,720
Speaker 1: something that needs maintenance or something that No, you never

388
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:28,120
Speaker 1: need to change anything until you need to change the car.

389
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:35,119
Speaker 1: So Honda in particular, all right, Honda's CVT. There're CVT transmissions.

390
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:37,440
Speaker 1: It went for a while where it was nobody wanted

391
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 1: to change the fluid the fluid didn't need to be changed,

392
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 1: and then they started having issues. And now we're seeing recommendations.

393
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:48,520
Speaker 1: We're seeing recommendations from the dealers to change the transmission

394
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 1: fluid on US Honda CVT at thirty And you know,

395
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:56,639
Speaker 1: we're starting to understand that because we're seeing discolored fluid

396
00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:59,240
Speaker 1: coming out, issues with the fluid coming out in the

397
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 1: thirty to forty thousand mile range, and we are starting

398
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:06,639
Speaker 1: to change transfluid earlier on the Honda CVTs. The same

399
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:09,120
Speaker 1: thing I can say about just about any trans out there.

400
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 1: Toyota with the WS fluid, Toyota says, Oh, the fluid

401
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:15,199
Speaker 1: never needs to be changed, it's lifetime fluid. Then how

402
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:18,160
Speaker 1: can we get so many Toyotas in that sixty five

403
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:22,320
Speaker 1: seventy thousand mile sweet spot that are having chatter issues

404
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 1: at the way the transmissions operate or the converters aren't

405
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:30,400
Speaker 1: applying correctly and shutter ninety thousand miles with some brother,

406
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 1: I would have done it at sixty. And you know,

407
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 1: I'm not saying it's too late, but yeah, by all means,

408
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:39,359
Speaker 1: I would do it at ninety. I would take a

409
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:42,520
Speaker 1: look at the fluid and try to it's probably LX fluid.

410
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 1: I'm going to take a guess here for I'm sorry LV,

411
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 1: it's probably Ford LV fluid. And there's a characteristic property

412
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:52,840
Speaker 1: of that too. There's something about trans fluid in the

413
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 1: last twenty years that it's not just transfluid. There is

414
00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:02,960
Speaker 1: a viscous or an anti shutter property. There are additives

415
00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:05,240
Speaker 1: now in trans fluid and have been for quite some

416
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:10,280
Speaker 1: time that affect overall transmission operation. And we're finding that

417
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:13,360
Speaker 1: it's not the fluid that fails, but the additive package.

418
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:15,959
Speaker 1: It seems to wear out. Much like you know, if

419
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:18,040
Speaker 1: we had a conversation about engine oil, it would be

420
00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 1: that engine oil doesn't wear out. It's the additives in

421
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:24,919
Speaker 1: the engine oil that wears out. So, yeah, ninety thousand miles,

422
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 1: let's change the transfluid by all means, and you know,

423
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:31,919
Speaker 1: maybe come back in six or eight thousand miles, make it,

424
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,280
Speaker 1: make it two oil changes or one and a half

425
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 1: oil changes, whatever you want to do, and change it again,

426
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:40,360
Speaker 1: and you know you'll get to the one fifty mark,

427
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:43,159
Speaker 1: you know, provided everything else is taken care of in

428
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:46,959
Speaker 1: your following maintenance. So good, good thing to do. Are

429
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:49,480
Speaker 1: you changing coolant cars now? Seven years old.

430
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:53,120
Speaker 6: The coolant is supposed to be done at one hundred thousands,

431
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 6: so to do that good Pretty close to that.

432
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:58,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, pretty close to that, you know, and think about

433
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 1: spark plugs. I bet your spark plus you're either one

434
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:03,680
Speaker 1: hundred or one hundred and twenty. Good time. At nineteen hundred, yeah,

435
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:05,040
Speaker 1: you'll get him out of this. You'll get him out

436
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:06,760
Speaker 1: of the cylinder head at ninety why wait.

437
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:09,440
Speaker 6: You know, yeah, that's one hundred. I just had a recall.

438
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:11,879
Speaker 6: Actually I was a dealer. There was a break recall

439
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:15,240
Speaker 6: some with the calipers that was done right, and I

440
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:17,680
Speaker 6: had asked them the same thing about the different fluids.

441
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 6: They said, you know, whatever the you know, whatever the

442
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 6: manual says. But I had afford. If I can tell

443
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:24,720
Speaker 6: you real quick, I had a two thousand and five

444
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:28,200
Speaker 6: Taurus that call for a trans flu would change every

445
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:28,960
Speaker 6: thirty thousand.

446
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:31,639
Speaker 1: That's because that's well, yeah, that's because you were changing

447
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:32,720
Speaker 1: the trans every thirty five.

448
00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:35,320
Speaker 6: But go ahead, Well you know what, and I did.

449
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:38,280
Speaker 6: I followed through. I changed every thirty Then the transmission

450
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:40,359
Speaker 6: was flawless to the end. But I did, you know,

451
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:41,800
Speaker 6: I always followed the book.

452
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:44,560
Speaker 1: Right, But oh you got your oh you got the Taurus.

453
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:46,479
Speaker 1: You got the Taurus with the good transmission. I think

454
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:48,720
Speaker 1: Ford wants to talk to you. So I don't know

455
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 1: there was one out there, you know they that was

456
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:53,080
Speaker 1: that was a.

457
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 6: Yeah, well you know, but I figured, you know, if

458
00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 6: they want you to change the fluid it, you know

459
00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:00,760
Speaker 6: in that car every thirty thousand there's reason. I know

460
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:04,960
Speaker 6: Ford had transplot for trans problems around then, but I

461
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:06,960
Speaker 6: had no question on that car. I filed everything to

462
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:09,639
Speaker 6: the Tea. But the intervals were shorter. There was a

463
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:12,840
Speaker 6: shorter right, so the the ANDTI freeze was like a

464
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:15,880
Speaker 6: sixty or seventy thousand mile interval. They had shorter intervals

465
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 6: to change things. And I followed it and the car

466
00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:19,480
Speaker 6: was like pretty flawless.

467
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:22,800
Speaker 1: And isn't it amazing how the mileage intervals for fluids

468
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:26,240
Speaker 1: has gone up time mileage right, cooland some of the

469
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:28,480
Speaker 1: coolants now are ten years one hundred thousand miles some

470
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:30,160
Speaker 1: of the trans fluids or as you say, one hundred

471
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:33,960
Speaker 1: and fifty summer lifetime. So don't get the mileage and

472
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 1: the maintenance intervals have gone up, and the price of

473
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:38,680
Speaker 1: the car has skyrocket it hasn't it?

474
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:42,679
Speaker 6: Yes, exactly, that's why I maintained cars to keep them

475
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:43,320
Speaker 6: as long as I.

476
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 1: Can, right?

477
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:44,399
Speaker 3: Or what I do?

478
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:47,000
Speaker 1: Or has the mileage interval gone up? You know, are

479
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:49,440
Speaker 1: they playing a game trying to get you to drive

480
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:51,760
Speaker 1: it longer with no maintenance, because then when it breaks?

481
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 1: Why'd you want to fix this car? Look at all

482
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:55,080
Speaker 1: the things wrong with it. Why don't you go by

483
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:55,400
Speaker 1: a minute?

484
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:57,639
Speaker 6: You know, that's a that's a good question. Because one

485
00:24:57,680 --> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 6: of my dealers, the one where I bought Guitarist, they said,

486
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:02,119
Speaker 6: you're looking at the car. I said, you sold me

487
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 6: too good a car. They said, we can break it

488
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 6: for you.

489
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:05,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's so.

490
00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:07,080
Speaker 6: It was almost like they were upset that I was

491
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:08,200
Speaker 6: maintaining it. By the book.

492
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:10,959
Speaker 1: You know, maintenance is still the cheapest thing in my book.

493
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:13,639
Speaker 1: It really is. You know, somebody said to me the

494
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 1: other day, why you're driving an O Force Suburban? You

495
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:18,399
Speaker 1: can afford another vehicle? Sure, just because I can afford

496
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:20,639
Speaker 1: one doesn't mean I'm gonna go buy one, you know.

497
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:22,959
Speaker 1: It's it's I like my own Force Suburban. It does

498
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:24,720
Speaker 1: everything I needed to do, and it works just fine.

499
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:27,439
Speaker 6: I look at it this way. If you buy a

500
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:29,359
Speaker 6: new car, you leave the lot. It's not a new

501
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 6: car anymore.

502
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:33,840
Speaker 1: Well true, and and and the other side of that

503
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:37,199
Speaker 1: is it's not just the initial cost, it's all of

504
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:40,919
Speaker 1: the cost exactly. It's you know, we had somebody the

505
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:42,840
Speaker 1: other day. I'm not sure how the story relates, so

506
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:44,119
Speaker 1: give me a minute, but we had a we had

507
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 1: a vehicle the other day. Somebody called up and I

508
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:48,359
Speaker 1: couldn't help them. We don't do heavy engine work in

509
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:50,960
Speaker 1: the shop anymore. But there were two guys visiting on

510
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:55,280
Speaker 1: a construction crew from Wisconsin, and there's Silverado. There's they're

511
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 1: twenty fifteen Chevy Silverado needed an engine. And my first question,

512
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:01,359
Speaker 1: this is one of the reasons we don't do engine

513
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:03,280
Speaker 1: work anymore, besides the fact that there are no engine

514
00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:06,679
Speaker 1: rebuilders or engine shops around us, because that seems to

515
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:10,280
Speaker 1: be a dying art forman in North Jersey. But when

516
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:12,560
Speaker 1: when it needs an engine at the one hundred or

517
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:14,440
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty or two in one thousand, whatever

518
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:17,119
Speaker 1: it is, what else does it need? You have to

519
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:20,560
Speaker 1: look at the whole vehicle. How much maintenance did you

520
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:23,280
Speaker 1: not do to get to the point where the engine fails?

521
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 1: You know, I understand transmissions failing in the lifetime of

522
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 1: the vehicle. I don't understand engines because if you're doing

523
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:36,680
Speaker 1: the oil changes, the fuel system cleanings, good fuel, proper

524
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:40,320
Speaker 1: care and maintenance, proper filters, the engine should last the

525
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 1: life of the vehicle. It really should, unless there's a

526
00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:44,760
Speaker 1: manufacturer's defect that prevents it from doing so.

527
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:48,200
Speaker 6: I've never had any engine problems in any car I've

528
00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:51,679
Speaker 6: ever owned. Thought I never had that. I never had

529
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:52,479
Speaker 6: an engine problem.

530
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:55,720
Speaker 1: Yep, yep, so yep. Change the transfluid, Brian, all right, kiddo,

531
00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:57,720
Speaker 1: you got it all right, sir, Thank you, you'd be well.

532
00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:00,000

00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:36,240
Speaker 1: in New Hampshire. George, what's going on?

543
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:39,480
Speaker 7: Hi, Ron, how you doing? Taking the call.

544
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:39,920
Speaker 1: You're welcome.

545
00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:41,639
Speaker 7: I got a couple of questions for you.

546
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:42,119
Speaker 1: Go ahead.

547
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:45,040
Speaker 7: I have a two thousand and nine Toyota Tacoma two

548
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:49,119
Speaker 7: hundred and thirty seven thousand miles just broken in, just

549
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:50,880
Speaker 7: broken in, and I want to keep it that way.

550
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:53,080
Speaker 7: I really, you know, go to Great Paints to take

551
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:54,800
Speaker 7: care of it. But when I bought it back in

552
00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 7: O nine, and I bought it in January, the first

553
00:27:57,040 --> 00:27:59,080
Speaker 7: oil change I did, when I opened up the field

554
00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:00,920
Speaker 7: filling that there was a little bit of a brown

555
00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:03,920
Speaker 7: light brown foam inside the cap and on the neck.

556
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:05,840
Speaker 7: And I called the dealer and they said it's because

557
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:08,119
Speaker 7: of a length of the fuel filler neck and the

558
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:11,480
Speaker 7: cold weather. It's condensation. And you know, when the warm

559
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:13,800
Speaker 7: weather came around, it was gone. I haven't really seen

560
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:15,560
Speaker 7: it in all the years that have passed, but I

561
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:18,679
Speaker 7: just did an oil change this week and boy was

562
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:22,160
Speaker 7: it really foamed up. And I said, wow, wait a minute,

563
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:26,560
Speaker 7: I haven't seen this. And I checked my Ani freeze

564
00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:28,560
Speaker 7: and checked the oil. I check it in the morning

565
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:31,360
Speaker 7: when everything is cold, it's not making oil and I'm

566
00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:35,000
Speaker 7: not losing any freeze, right, And I was wondering if

567
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:37,480
Speaker 7: there would be another cause for this. I have pulled

568
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:41,000
Speaker 7: a PCV valve and checked that that's fine, but didn't

569
00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:43,440
Speaker 7: know if there was something else I should be looking

570
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:43,840
Speaker 7: at on that.

571
00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:46,880
Speaker 1: You know, two things come to mind. I would probably

572
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:50,440
Speaker 1: just because of the age and mileage, and I just

573
00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:52,840
Speaker 1: want to be sure that you know I'm not seeing

574
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:55,280
Speaker 1: something or that I can't see something by the naked eye.

575
00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:58,320
Speaker 1: What's there microscopically, I would take an oil sample, send

576
00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:01,280
Speaker 1: it out the Blackstone and get the oil analyzed, just

577
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:03,320
Speaker 1: to just to be sure. You know, it's a couple

578
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:05,080
Speaker 1: of bucks, and at least still come back with a

579
00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:07,440
Speaker 1: written report, and they'll tell you everything from the not

580
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:10,040
Speaker 1: only you know how much, how much you know material

581
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:12,840
Speaker 1: you know, aluminum babbit or copper babbit, or the day

582
00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:15,920
Speaker 1: the engine oil was made, to you know a bunch

583
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:17,800
Speaker 1: of other things. If there's any any freezer, any any

584
00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:20,440
Speaker 1: kind of moisture getting into the oil contamination otherwise they'll

585
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:22,680
Speaker 1: tell you that in the report. So there's a reason.

586
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 1: And you know, as much as you guys, you hear

587
00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:27,400
Speaker 1: me say out all these oil analysis reports are nonsense.

588
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:30,240
Speaker 1: Here's a case where I think it's got valid you know, validity.

589
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:33,160
Speaker 1: The guys that are doing oil analysis every five thousand

590
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:35,360
Speaker 1: miles because they're worried about the engine degradating. You're gonna

591
00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:37,040
Speaker 1: spend a lot of money to get the to get

592
00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:39,520
Speaker 1: nowhere and nothing's going to matter. So I would do

593
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:42,200
Speaker 1: that number one. Number two, I would, you know, clean

594
00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:44,840
Speaker 1: out the fill cap, and then I would do some

595
00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:46,840
Speaker 1: sort next oil change. I would do some sort of

596
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:49,680
Speaker 1: an oil flush. Pick one. There's one hundreds of there's

597
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:52,520
Speaker 1: hundreds of them on the marketplace. You know, see if

598
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:55,160
Speaker 1: you can find one that you know, you like locally.

599
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:56,720
Speaker 1: If you've got an auto zone, you got a local

600
00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:58,600
Speaker 1: Ato zone by you somewhere in New Hampshire.

601
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:03,720
Speaker 7: I got an AutoZone, got O'Reilly's got NAPA.

602
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:07,280
Speaker 1: Okay, so pick pick one. Go into your local AutoZone

603
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:09,600
Speaker 1: and talk to the guys on the counter. Tell them listen,

604
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:12,440
Speaker 1: you're trying to clean out the crank case the internal engine.

605
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:14,160
Speaker 1: You know, at your next oil change on a higher

606
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 1: mileage car, what are they selling? What does everybody like?

607
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:17,440
Speaker 3: Uh?

608
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:19,600
Speaker 1: You know, pick a product on the market that's available

609
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:21,840
Speaker 1: to you locally and see what works. See if it works,

610
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:23,520
Speaker 1: it should all right. Now, I would do the next

611
00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:25,960
Speaker 1: oil change. I would do it hot and just make

612
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:27,840
Speaker 1: sure you get it out there and follow the directions

613
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:30,040
Speaker 1: on the can to the letter, and let's clean it out.

614
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:32,240
Speaker 1: Let's see where that gets us. So let's do those

615
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:34,080
Speaker 1: two things and the next oil change, let's see if

616
00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 1: it comes back, and maybe it's going to be a

617
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:40,000
Speaker 1: reoccurring thing. You know, we call that maturity. You know,

618
00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:41,960
Speaker 1: it's kind of like when you know every once in

619
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:43,600
Speaker 1: a while that I said to the doctor, how come

620
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:45,720
Speaker 1: I can't lose weight anymore? And he said maturity, And

621
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:50,440
Speaker 1: I went, okay, I'll accept that past the donuts. But

622
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:52,480
Speaker 1: you know, you get the point.

623
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:56,760
Speaker 7: Second question, Well, now it's just turned into three. But

624
00:30:57,280 --> 00:31:00,000
Speaker 7: it calls for five thirty oil. I run sol synthetic.

625
00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:05,280
Speaker 7: I've seen there are high mileage versions of oils, and

626
00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:07,840
Speaker 7: is this something that I should be going to because

627
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:09,240
Speaker 7: of its age and mileage you.

628
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:14,200
Speaker 1: Could high mileage oils generally have better additive packages. So

629
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:17,840
Speaker 1: it's it's just a matter of you know, two five

630
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:20,920
Speaker 1: thirties ones high mileage ones, not the five thirty high

631
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:24,160
Speaker 1: mileage is gonna have a slightly different editive package to

632
00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:28,239
Speaker 1: help keep the engine cleaner, to promote seal life, and

633
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:30,280
Speaker 1: to give it some vitamins that you know, maybe you

634
00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:32,720
Speaker 1: didn't need until you were sixty, and now that you're

635
00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:34,520
Speaker 1: over sixty, you know you need it. You need a

636
00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:36,080
Speaker 1: little bit of uh, you know, you need a little

637
00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:38,680
Speaker 1: shot of vitamin B one as mom would say, uh,

638
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:41,440
Speaker 1: you know, to get you up and out in the morning. So, yeah,

639
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:43,560
Speaker 1: it's not gonna hurt by any stretch of the imagination.

640
00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:46,440
Speaker 1: And yeah, why not, let's see what it does. You know,

641
00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:48,160
Speaker 1: it's not gonna it's not gonna hurt anything, and it

642
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:49,680
Speaker 1: may help a whole lot, So let's do it.

643
00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:55,360
Speaker 7: Okay. Last one, I had noticed that as the fall

644
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:57,080
Speaker 7: has common the cold weather has come around and we

645
00:31:57,160 --> 00:32:00,800
Speaker 7: have the winter fuel blends, and every year my mileage

646
00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:03,560
Speaker 7: has diminished some at this time of year. Well it

647
00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:06,920
Speaker 7: seems this year it's worse. And when I say worse,

648
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:08,840
Speaker 7: it's not you know, down to the single digits, but

649
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:11,680
Speaker 7: it's just noticeably different because I pay attention to those things.

650
00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:11,840
Speaker 4: Right.

651
00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:19,440
Speaker 7: But there is a garagea an independent that I have

652
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:21,840
Speaker 7: do some work on my truck that I can't do myself,

653
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:24,880
Speaker 7: rather than the dealer for the really big things. And

654
00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:26,880
Speaker 7: I was talking to him the other day and I said, Jesus,

655
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:28,440
Speaker 7: what's up with that? Do you have you heard anything

656
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:30,440
Speaker 7: about this regarding this year as blend or so.

657
00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:30,800
Speaker 1: On a SOB.

658
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:32,960
Speaker 7: He says, well, no, but given the mileage on your truck,

659
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:34,800
Speaker 7: I think you ought to just put six coil packs

660
00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:36,320
Speaker 7: in it, because you know, Christ it's two hundred and

661
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:40,280
Speaker 7: thirty seven thousand miles. I said, oh, okay, Well, just

662
00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 7: it wasn't there for him to look at or to

663
00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:46,400
Speaker 7: even do anything. And there's no codes, and it just

664
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:48,240
Speaker 7: kind of its inspections stick are over.

665
00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:52,480
Speaker 1: You want to know? Is that a valid comment? Yes?

666
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:52,800
Speaker 7: I do.

667
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:54,600
Speaker 1: All right, I'll tell you what. Stay put, let me

668
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:56,560
Speaker 1: pull over, take the pause the answer when ivery turn.

669
00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:58,880
Speaker 1: I'm running any in the car, doctor, don't go anywhere.

670
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:19,360
Speaker 1: Welcome back, running in the car, doctor, George. You're still there, sir, Yes, So,

671
00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:22,520
Speaker 1: in response to the question your mechanic or the offer

672
00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:25,360
Speaker 1: of your mechanics making about changing coil pecs, well, why

673
00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:27,040
Speaker 1: don't we you know, let's do six spark plugs, let's

674
00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:29,280
Speaker 1: do coils. When we change the mass airflow sensor? What

675
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:30,960
Speaker 1: else we got under the hood that we want to change?

676
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:34,000
Speaker 1: I mean, why not? You know what's give me the

677
00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:35,800
Speaker 1: justification for it. Want to put a starter and an

678
00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:38,080
Speaker 1: alternator in it. Let's put a radiator in it. Let's

679
00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:41,440
Speaker 1: do hoses, let's do belts. I mean, why not. I

680
00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:44,480
Speaker 1: get his point. I just don't understand the rationale or

681
00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:47,200
Speaker 1: where it's coming from. Show me a reason, you know,

682
00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:49,840
Speaker 1: let me. Let's let's go look at look. Let's go

683
00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:51,960
Speaker 1: look at some of the high level indicators. You know,

684
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:54,680
Speaker 1: tell me, you know, what's what's barrow been over the

685
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 1: past five years or not? Barrow map? What's mass airflow

686
00:33:57,960 --> 00:34:00,560
Speaker 1: reading at idle, what's fuel trim? Let's start to look

687
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:03,120
Speaker 1: at some of the you know, the basic heart rate

688
00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:06,280
Speaker 1: and blood pressure statistics of how that engine has changed

689
00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:09,879
Speaker 1: over the past two years, one year, however time frame

690
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:11,680
Speaker 1: or whatever time frame you want to, you know, do

691
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:14,520
Speaker 1: it over. What I would be thinking about is, you know,

692
00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:17,359
Speaker 1: at that mileage, I'm sure you've done this. You've done

693
00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:19,520
Speaker 1: fuel system cleaning, George, yes, no.

694
00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:22,440
Speaker 7: Yes, yeah, Let's see I do have done a fuel

695
00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:25,120
Speaker 7: system clean and I use a can of beans twelve

696
00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:26,160
Speaker 7: every three months.

697
00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:27,239
Speaker 1: Right, and you know, maybe you want to go get

698
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:30,160
Speaker 1: a Beryman twelve sixteen oil change flush. You know, as

699
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:32,680
Speaker 1: you as your as your flush fluid. You know, when

700
00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:35,200
Speaker 1: you visit your local AutoZone, you know that'll work real well.

701
00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:37,800
Speaker 1: Going back to the other problem, but you know it's.

702
00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:40,759
Speaker 7: Twelve sixteen oil crank case flash.

703
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:42,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I believe it's twelve sixteen oil change flush. But

704
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:45,040
Speaker 1: anything from Berryman is going to work, so I would

705
00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:48,359
Speaker 1: have no problem with that. You know, random comments about

706
00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:51,000
Speaker 1: let's change this or let's change that. You got to

707
00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:53,399
Speaker 1: back it up. You got to tell me why, all right.

708
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:55,879
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that right with a phone call. Yeah

709
00:34:55,880 --> 00:34:58,320
Speaker 1: it's a phone call. It's it's we're trying to sell something.

710
00:34:58,320 --> 00:34:59,800
Speaker 1: It might have been a slow day at the shop.

711
00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:02,120
Speaker 1: And I'm not accusing anybody. I'm just saying, give me

712
00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:06,040
Speaker 1: a reason, all right. You know the problem is it's

713
00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:08,960
Speaker 1: it's give me, give me a statistic, give me a number,

714
00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:10,920
Speaker 1: tell me why. Good luck to you, George, let me

715
00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:12,560
Speaker 1: know what happens. I'm running inning in the car doctor

716
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:17,040
Speaker 1: reminding all of you good mechanics aren't expensive. They're priceless.

717
00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:17,360
Speaker 1: See you
