15
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 2: Twenty six point two billion. Absorb that for a minute.

16
00:00:56,680 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 2: Twenty six point two billion, No, that's nothingnumber of likes

17
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 2: this radio show has, although it could be, but twenty

18
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:09,480
Speaker 2: six point two billion is the amount of dollars that Stilantis,

19
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 2: parent company of Chrysler Jeep Ram has lost on electric vehicles.

20
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 2: I'm not rabble rousing. I'm not telling tales out of school,

21
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 2: but it's in the news this week. They lost twenty

22
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 2: seven percent of their stock value in the last two days,

23
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 2: and why because their EV model doesn't work. Ford went

24
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 2: through it. Ford was twenty billion, GM was a couple

25
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 2: of billion, Chrysler's twenty six point two billion. I'm not

26
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 2: taking a victory Well yeah, I am taking a victory

27
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 2: lap here because.

28
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 3: I was right.

29
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 2: All right, they're there. I'm not saying they don't have

30
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 2: their place and purpose, but I said this four years ago,

31
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 2: and a lot of you beat me up for it.

32
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 2: We went two all in on EV vehicles. It needs

33
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 2: to be scaled back, and brother, now they're paying for it.

34
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 2: It kind of makes you wonder, right that, you know,

35
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:08,080
Speaker 2: why is the price of vehicles up so high? Hmmm?

36
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 2: Could it be we're losing money on the cheeseburger and fries,

37
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 2: so we're raising the price of the steak. You know,

38
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:17,360
Speaker 2: maybe there's a little bait and switch going on here financially.

39
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:19,639
Speaker 2: But somebody's paying for it, and I don't think it's Chrysler.

40
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 2: I think it's you. In any event, I just you know,

41
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 2: we've got the story up on our Facebook page. By

42
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 2: the way, if you want to read the whole thing,

43
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 2: great article from CNBC talking about it, and by all means,

44
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 2: just be aware of the EB market. She's a change

45
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,800
Speaker 2: in just like the Times. Let's kick open the garage

46
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 2: doors as we kick off this hour of the Car

47
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 2: Doctor with Ron and any and let's go over to

48
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 2: Aaron and Michigan. Aaron, welcome apart, sir, how can I

49
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:44,239
Speaker 2: help Hi?

50
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:48,240
Speaker 4: Ron? Thanks for taking my call. You're welcome, appreciate it.

51
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:50,360
Speaker 4: I love your show. I've been listening to you for

52
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 4: years now and I always learned something new. Thank you

53
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 4: time listen. So, yeah, a pretty simple question for you,

54
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:02,919
Speaker 4: probably aligneman issue. I had it into a shop because

55
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 4: my tire front tire is wearing front right right, and

56
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 4: it's tearing the outside of the tire up and the

57
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,959
Speaker 4: vehicles in Michigan. So it's got a lot of rust.

58
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 4: So the two adjustment areas that I understand are there.

59
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:22,360
Speaker 4: He wasn't able to He could adjust the one, but

60
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,080
Speaker 4: the other one was so rusty he didn't want to

61
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 4: touch it.

62
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 2: Camber, the camber, the camber cams. Yeah, the cam's on it. Yeah, right, okay,

63
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 2: all right, and your question to me is how much

64
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 2: should we worry about that? Or can it be done?

65
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 2: Or what? How can I guide you?

66
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, just suggestions as far as like replacing that that

67
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 4: camber adjustment and what and what it involves.

68
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 2: So how many miles were on this truck erin.

69
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 4: Uh solid two hundred and forty thousand?

70
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 2: Okay, So you know is this you love this truck,

71
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 2: You're going to drive it until it's it's dirt or

72
00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 2: we're just trying to call it a little long for

73
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 2: another year just to get what we can out of

74
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 2: it and then go from there.

75
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, just uh, just baby in it until I can

76
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 4: get into a new one. Right. I've done a lot

77
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 4: of a lot of stuff to it to keep it,

78
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 4: keep it going. Runs like a chant. But you know

79
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 4: so much rust?

80
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, and and then that's and then that's the issue, right,

81
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:21,919
Speaker 2: you know, rust rust is it's it might be a

82
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 2: bad analogy, but rust rust is like a cancer. Once

83
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 2: it's in there and it's spread to a level, it

84
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 2: it is it terminal and it becomes that And you know, sure,

85
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:35,359
Speaker 2: we could spend money. They do make cam kits accompanied

86
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 2: by the name of Moo m double og if they're

87
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:39,840
Speaker 2: still in business, because they're part of the first Brands group.

88
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:42,479
Speaker 2: UH used to make cam kits, and there was a

89
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 2: bunch of other companies out there. You could get cam

90
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 2: kids with bolts and you could change that. But then

91
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 2: you've got to look at the rest of it. You know,

92
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 2: is the frame structurally sound, how rust it is everything? Usually,

93
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 2: usually the cams were the first to seize and rust up,

94
00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 2: and then the pins fell out that guided the cams

95
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 2: and it just became a mischig. Gossa's mom would say

96
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:07,280
Speaker 2: at this point, how many miles do you think you're

97
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 2: going to go in the next year?

98
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,039
Speaker 4: Oh, probably under thirty thousands.

99
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:18,600
Speaker 2: Okay, So if you wore out that tire three times

100
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 2: every ten thousand miles, which you probably won't do. It

101
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:26,160
Speaker 2: kind of depends on how bad that alignment's out. If

102
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,159
Speaker 2: you don't have it for the year, isn't it cheaper?

103
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:31,720
Speaker 2: Just as long as it's safe, right, as long as

104
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:36,600
Speaker 2: it's structurally safe, all right and fundamentally sound, isn't it

105
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 2: you know, Well, here's another reason to escalate the look

106
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 2: for replacing the vehicle, because forget the rust, right, it's

107
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:49,480
Speaker 2: twenty one years old. If tomorrow, Heaven forbid, it puked

108
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 2: the trends and it was you know, six grand, would

109
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 2: you put the six grand in the truck?

110
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 4: Absolutely?

111
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 2: Not right, It would escalate, It would escalate your reason

112
00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:03,479
Speaker 2: to replace it. Right, Right, So you're you've kind of

113
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 2: gotten a different escalation. Right, You've got a different reason.

114
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 2: As long as it you know, it tracks straight, it

115
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 2: handles Okay, it's got some edgewhere problems on the right front.

116
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:15,679
Speaker 2: As long as there's nothing loose, it's not unreasonable to drive.

117
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:18,480
Speaker 2: It just gives you another reason maybe somewhere in the

118
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,039
Speaker 2: next three to six months, if if it financially makes

119
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 2: sense and you start looking now, you know, leave it alone, right,

120
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 2: It's yeah, you know, rust is a very is a

121
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 2: very big bag of shells. You don't know what you're

122
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 2: getting into. You know, how deep, how far and how

123
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 2: much do we have to go?

124
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 5: Right?

125
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 4: And it just uh the other thing it does, it

126
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 4: does pull to the right somewhat. Uh. It's irritating to

127
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 4: the bean.

128
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 2: I mean, so which alignment number was off castor.

129
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 4: You know what?

130
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:55,719
Speaker 5: I don't know enough about it?

131
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 2: Ron is let me let me ask this question. Is

132
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:01,719
Speaker 2: the original weren't tire on the right front? Still?

133
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:03,720
Speaker 5: No?

134
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:07,719
Speaker 4: I replaced the set because they deemed them my buddy

135
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 4: hooked me.

136
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 2: Up, okay, and all right effective. So did they give

137
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 2: you a print out of the alignment?

138
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 5: Yes, they did.

139
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 4: And the one he was able to the not the

140
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 4: main camber, but the other.

141
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, he was able to.

142
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 4: Adjust that and get that balance to point one point

143
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 4: zero one, right, something like that. And then the other

144
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 4: one was somewhat off, but he couldn't even really get

145
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 4: a reading on it because he couldn't touch the.

146
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 2: Right he couldn't get the cams to move yep. Right.

147
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 2: So it's you know, how severe of a poll? How

148
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 2: much is it going to wear the tire? Again? The

149
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 2: cost to repair? Oh, I'm gonna I'm just gonna shoot

150
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 2: a number out there, and you know, say it's a

151
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 2: grand of fifteen hundred dollars. Rust gets nasty, right, The

152
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 2: kids are a couple hundred dollars aside. If the average

153
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 2: has a labor rate of one hundred and fifty to

154
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 2: two hundred dollars an hour, split the difference one seventy five.

155
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 2: If it's two hours a side, let's call it three

156
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty bucks a side, two hundred dollars for

157
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 2: the kid five p fifty Aside's eleven hundred dollars plus

158
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 2: ALUs plus another alignment. You're ready to do this.

159
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 5: Right?

160
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 2: See you see it? You want to take me car shopping?

161
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 2: I can get your car in twenty minutes. I'm very amazing. Yeah,

162
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 2: I just you know, let's just cut through the nonsense.

163
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 2: It's listen. I was coming out of the chiropractice yesterday

164
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 2: and a woman's standing there complaining about how she doesn't

165
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 2: feel good and the chiropractor's got the pills that'll make

166
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 2: her feel good, and they were ninety one dollars and

167
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 2: she sat there. It's amazing when you look at people, right,

168
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 2: and I'm not saying you're doing this, but some people

169
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 2: just like to moan, you know, erin and she's sitting

170
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:47,680
Speaker 2: there moaning about how she doesn't feel good and what

171
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 2: should she do? And how much are the pills? They're

172
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 2: ninety one bucks. Oh, and she's going back and forth

173
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 2: with Teresa, the receptionist, and she looks at me as

174
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 2: I'm checking out, and she says, what do you think

175
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:01,679
Speaker 2: I should do? I said, well, I said, do you

176
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 2: have enough money? Can you eat tonight? She said yeah?

177
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,199
Speaker 2: I said, is the ninety one dollars going to break

178
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 2: the bank. She said, no, then buy the pills, sit down,

179
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:12,560
Speaker 2: stop talking, and leave everybody alone. And you know, like, like,

180
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 2: what are we doing here? It's it's it's let's not

181
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:18,840
Speaker 2: bemoan the subject. It's you don't feel good. These pills

182
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 2: will make you feel better, right, I just solve the problem.

183
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 2: And that's all.

184
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 5: That's.

185
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 2: That's so, you know, it's be careful, don't fall into

186
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 2: the trap. Brother. You know it's the truck's giving you

187
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 2: absolutely good service twenty one years. You know, now you've

188
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 2: got to go find something you like, which is the

189
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 2: bigger problem, right, And you know what, maybe you'd start

190
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 2: looking southern Arizona, California, an older truck, no rust, and

191
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 2: you buy something the same generation. I bet you there's

192
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 2: sixty seventy thousand mile vehicles out there that are clean,

193
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 2: and maybe you don't have to buy something new, modern

194
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 2: age wonder, super high tech, F nineteen stealth fighter technology.

195
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 4: You know, no, all with the same two thousand and five.

196
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:06,440
Speaker 4: I love these trucks, right, yeah, they just they just

197
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 4: go and go.

198
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 6: You know, listen, there's another question I had for you, Yes, sir,

199
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 6: real quick, and then I'll let you get on my

200
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:17,560
Speaker 6: Buddy's truck has a battery problem, and it's expanded on

201
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 6: the side, like it's like blown up right on the side.

202
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 6: Obviously the battery is bad.

203
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 2: Right, how right? How old is the battery? Overcharge? What's

204
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 2: the charge rate? What is the alternator running? Not just

205
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 2: voltage wise, but current wise, amporage wise. It sounds like

206
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:37,560
Speaker 2: the battery is overheated and it's got an issue. And

207
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:39,559
Speaker 2: I would look at all those factors and again, how

208
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:41,959
Speaker 2: old is it is? In an older truck, the battery

209
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,559
Speaker 2: sat the battery is eight years old. It's sulfated along

210
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:47,840
Speaker 2: the bottom. The alternator is reacting differently to the resistance

211
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 2: value of it and overcharging it without realizing it.

212
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 4: It's only four years old.

213
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 2: What brand is it? NAPA, NAPA, Yeah, go back and

214
00:10:57,840 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 2: talk to the boys at NAPA. But it is approaching

215
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 2: the end of its life, all right, Yeah, you know

216
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:05,200
Speaker 2: it's bad. Batteries are rated five years And as a

217
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 2: matter of fact, if you want take a look at

218
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 2: go out to go out to autobatteries dot com and

219
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 2: they'll lay out you know, there's a lot there as

220
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 2: far as battery strategy technology, what affects them, how they charge,

221
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 2: what makes them charge different, but I would just be

222
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:22,839
Speaker 2: sure you've got a good battery. I'm sorry, a good

223
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 2: charging system going on there, voltage, amperage. It meets all

224
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:28,560
Speaker 2: the specs and checks all the boxes, and at that

225
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 2: point I wouldn't fool around. I'd change the battery. But

226
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:32,880
Speaker 2: Auto Batteries dot Com will help you make some of

227
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:35,200
Speaker 2: these decisions. I appreciate the call, Aaron, good luck in

228
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:37,199
Speaker 2: the truck search and they'll send us a picture of

229
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:39,079
Speaker 2: your new truck, will put it up on the Facebook page.

230
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 2: I'm on an ay in the car doctor. I'll be

231
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 2: back right after this. Hey, let's get over to a

232
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 2: fan favorite and actually a favorite fan. Let's go and

233
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:58,319
Speaker 2: talk to Billy in Colorado. I'm need an inaccurate and

234
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 2: see what's going on here? Welcomes back. What's going on today?

235
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 2: What are you working on?

236
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:03,679
Speaker 4: Hey? Ron?

237
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:04,200
Speaker 5: How you doing?

238
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 4: Man?

239
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 5: So?

240
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 7: My daughter has a ninety nine accurate three point two

241
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:17,080
Speaker 7: TL thing is a tank runs great except except on

242
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 7: a hot start. So drive it, warm it up, leave

243
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 7: it for twenty to thirty minutes. When you fire it

244
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 7: back up, it stumbles bad. It'll stall unless you feather

245
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 7: the gas for about ten to thirty seconds and then

246
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:36,320
Speaker 7: it settles down fairly consistent. I figured the injectors were

247
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:39,680
Speaker 7: leaking down and flooding the intake mautfolds, so I ran

248
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:44,720
Speaker 7: a residual pressure test and it's perfect. Over half an

249
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 7: hour lost five PSI, and I left it overnight it

250
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:51,439
Speaker 7: had still at fifteen PSI also checked.

251
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:53,079
Speaker 5: The urge valve.

252
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 7: That's good. So then finally I plugged it into the

253
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:59,840
Speaker 7: Google box. I'm getting apparently the common thing. But there

254
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 7: are are lots of supposed culprits and no solid solutions.

255
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:09,560
Speaker 2: So why don't we eliminate some things? Right? And you know,

256
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 2: one of the first things that comes to mind anytime

257
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 2: I ran into this on them this is now an

258
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 2: older vehicle, right, this is twenty ninety nine, twenty seven

259
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 2: years old. You know it's a because I remember working

260
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 2: on ninety nine accuras. You know, can we pinch off?

261
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 2: Doesn't this have a rubber return line for the fuel system?

262
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:31,560
Speaker 5: I don't know.

263
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:34,560
Speaker 2: I think it does if I remember, right, And my

264
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 2: thought would be if and I put it, can we

265
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 2: can we get a fuel pressure gauge on? It is first?

266
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 3: Right?

267
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 4: Yeah?

268
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 2: And even though the spec is good, right, even though

269
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:48,320
Speaker 2: you're gonna tell me you'll call me midweek or email

270
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 2: me midweek and say, hey, Ron, fuel pressure is good.

271
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 2: I'm still concerned about volume. I'm still concerned about cavitation.

272
00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:00,200
Speaker 2: Do I have a pump where the impeller is wearing up?

273
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:04,199
Speaker 2: You ever have a sump pump in the basement and

274
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 2: the pump goes bad and it's running, but it doesn't

275
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 2: seem to push nearly as much water as it used

276
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 2: to because the impellers wore out, and there it's starting

277
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:14,959
Speaker 2: to aer rate the water and it just it runs

278
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 2: and it just makes bubbles and it doesn't do anything.

279
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 7: And you know, fuel, you're thinking this is not enough

280
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 7: fuel on the hot start, I was thinking.

281
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 5: It was too much.

282
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm thinking it's I'm thinking it's it's not enough. Well,

283
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 2: i'll tell you what this is gonna tell us, because

284
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 2: what you're gonna do is you're gonna look up fuel

285
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 2: pressure gauge, make sure you've got rock solid fuel pressure,

286
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 2: and you're gonna slowly pinch off the pump. You're gonna

287
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 2: you're gonna slowly pinch off the reserve. All right, You're

288
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 2: gonna you're gonna almost dead head. Fuel pressure should go

289
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 2: to ad PSI between seventy five and eighty five eighty

290
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 2: is a good number, but it should climb if if

291
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 2: we come if we come close to deadhead and the

292
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 2: pump and we don't get good fuel pressure, we've got

293
00:14:54,840 --> 00:15:01,160
Speaker 2: a pump problem. Questions. Okay, I hear, I hear, I

294
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 2: hear your mind racing brother questions.

295
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm I'm I'm visualizing he's letting the system right.

296
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'll absolutely try that.

297
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 7: And have you seen this caused by uh heat soaked

298
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 7: frank sensors. I'm hearing a lot about stat and it

299
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 7: was one moment the other day I was driving it

300
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 7: and it just dropped out for like a half second.

301
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 2: Okay, you have a do you have a hair dryer? Uh?

302
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 5: Yeah?

303
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 2: Or or heat gun? Right? Yeah, that's what I mean.

304
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 2: You got daughters. You got to have hair dryers, so

305
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:35,960
Speaker 2: you know we heat gun to But yeah, right, let's

306
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 2: let's let's park the car outside and set it up,

307
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:41,760
Speaker 2: or let's leave it in the garage or wherever. Leave

308
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 2: the heat off, get the car cold a right, the

309
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 2: car starts fine, right, show off the car real quick.

310
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 2: Let's take the heat gun, shoot a little hot air

311
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 2: at it. Let's heat the crank sensor up. I'm not

312
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 2: saying no, I've never seen it, but you know, when

313
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 2: I had old GM thirty eight hundred d I s

314
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 2: crank sensor breakdowns, CAM sensors break down, blah blah blah.

315
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 2: We would get out of a blow dryer a heat

316
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:08,560
Speaker 2: gun and the car is cold. We'd heat up the censor.

317
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 2: Car wouldn't run worth a hoot. We'd go, okay, well

318
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 2: that's pretty indicative. We'd put a sensor in it. We

319
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 2: were fixed, but at least we could prove it, right, Okay,

320
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 2: you know, and now if you said to me it

321
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 2: was the other way around, just as a point of learning. Right,

322
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 2: if this was a hey ron, only when it's cold

323
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:29,360
Speaker 2: and I think it's the crank sensor, if it was accessible,

324
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:33,600
Speaker 2: I'd throw the crank sensor in the freezer and then

325
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:36,920
Speaker 2: bolt it back up. Let us sit there overnight. We

326
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:40,320
Speaker 2: used to do a lot of these crazy things. Of course,

327
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:42,080
Speaker 2: I'd have to warn Mama if I was working on

328
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:44,400
Speaker 2: a car at the house, be careful what you take

329
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 2: out of the freezer, because it may not be meatloaf,

330
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 2: you know, so it might be a crank sensor or

331
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 2: a GM coil pack, which was common so.

332
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:54,280
Speaker 5: But hopefully she can tell the difference.

333
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 2: Well hopefully, But sometimes they were in a rush, you know,

334
00:16:57,920 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 2: raising a bunch of kids. Sometimes you're in a hurry.

335
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 2: Hey to stick my hand into well, you know so,

336
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:06,119
Speaker 2: but yeah, let's let's let's do that. But let's go

337
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 2: for fuel pressure first and then and then just for giggles,

338
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:12,119
Speaker 2: you gotta you got a spark tester, right, I know

339
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:14,639
Speaker 2: I've talked to you before, right, can we can we

340
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:17,159
Speaker 2: just take one cylinder and put a spark tester on

341
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 2: it and and you know, maybe set up a coil wire.

342
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:22,639
Speaker 2: I'm trying to think of how you would do that.

343
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:24,679
Speaker 2: There's a way to tee it and maybe put a

344
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:26,880
Speaker 2: spark plug wire onto the spark plug in the head

345
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:29,480
Speaker 2: and then t off a spark tester to the other side.

346
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:31,439
Speaker 2: Even if we have to make something up for testing

347
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 2: purposes and prove that I've got spark on the cylinder

348
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:37,840
Speaker 2: on a consistent basis, you know, snap, snap, snapsnapsnap while

349
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 2: it's doing it all right, but I bet you it's

350
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:43,119
Speaker 2: fuel billy. Do the test. You give me a call,

351
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:44,960
Speaker 2: you let me know, or shoot me an email. We'll

352
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:46,919
Speaker 2: go from there. I'm running any in the car Doctor.

353
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 2: We'll be back right after this.

354

375
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:07,359
Speaker 2: Let's go over to Ted Minnesota twenty Hyundai Tucson and

376
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 2: see what's going on here. Welcome Ted, How can I help?

377
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 8: Yeah?

378
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:14,119
Speaker 3: Hi, yeah, my daughter has a twenty twenty Hunday and

379
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 3: it was under just underd one hundred thousand miles. It's

380
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:20,119
Speaker 3: probably one hundred and five dollars that it's been burning

381
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:23,960
Speaker 3: a court of oil every four hundred miles. Okay, it's

382
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:27,119
Speaker 3: been doing it for some time. And uh, well, you

383
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:29,879
Speaker 3: know she typically doesn't didn't even check her on use.

384
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:32,720
Speaker 3: She's doing it now. But what what what would you

385
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 3: recommend for recourse? You really get ytal service department, You

386
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 3: get the run around, yep.

387
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 2: So, and it kind of doesn't matter what engine. But

388
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 2: just for my own knowledge, sake two liter, two point

389
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:48,160
Speaker 2: four liter? Which one? There's only two four cylinders available

390
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:49,399
Speaker 2: for that, do yeppen to know?

391
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:52,000
Speaker 3: I'm not sure, but there's a rash of them. And

392
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:55,880
Speaker 3: they said it's because allegedly they used a softer ring. Yep,

393
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:58,240
Speaker 3: he can. It would improve the gas mile as well.

394
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:01,560
Speaker 2: So let me let me tell you how bad this

395
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:05,640
Speaker 2: oil consumption is with Hyundai's right, you know, they say

396
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:09,119
Speaker 2: the most analyzed book in the world is the Bible right,

397
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:12,720
Speaker 2: and it's it's it's it's analyzed from every possible perspective.

398
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:14,680
Speaker 2: My god, where's Ron going with this? On an order

399
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:18,680
Speaker 2: repair show? Go get your hands on Hyundai Technical Bulletin

400
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:24,320
Speaker 2: twenty three dash emsh double oh eight twenty three dash

401

00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 3: Ahead two three dash em dash zero zero eight h.

406
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:57,159
Speaker 2: Correct, Yes, sir. Dated December of twenty twenty three. That

407
00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:01,160
Speaker 2: bulletin is you know. When I read that bulletin, I said,

408
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:05,359
Speaker 2: my god, they have analyzed oil consumption like everybody analyzes

409
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:07,199
Speaker 2: the Bible, which I think is a great book by

410
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 2: the way, right, they explain every possible scenario, factual existence,

411
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 2: check this, check that, here's what you have to do,

412
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 2: here's the reason why, and it covers all engines. It's hysterical.

413
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:21,080
Speaker 2: It's like Hyundai admitting, you know, we got this problem,

414
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 2: and you know it's it's just it's just an amazing read.

415
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:30,400
Speaker 2: And to me, I would walk into the Hundaid dealer

416
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 2: and say, how can you tell me you don't have

417
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:36,040
Speaker 2: a problem when this bulletin is in existence. That's my

418
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:40,280
Speaker 2: question because understand what it takes to write a bulletin.

419
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:43,040
Speaker 2: It's not just somebody, Hey, write a bullet you know

420
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:46,400
Speaker 2: he listen, ted, could you write this bulletin about oil consumption?

421
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:48,399
Speaker 2: And you take a bunch of notes. You know, the

422
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:52,960
Speaker 2: bulletin gets written, It gets analyzed for mechanical and statistical

423
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:56,800
Speaker 2: you know, accuracy, It gets run through legal, it gets

424
00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:59,159
Speaker 2: run by every department head to be approved. You know.

425
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:01,440
Speaker 2: It's not Hey, we're gonna make a bulletin about this,

426
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:03,440
Speaker 2: and you know everybody has to sign off on it, right,

427
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:06,600
Speaker 2: so for them to put a bulletin out takes a

428
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 2: lot of effort. All right, Hyundai's have an engine problem,

429
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:14,240
Speaker 2: They just do right. I have friends that work in

430
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:16,639
Speaker 2: hundaid dealerships. They all tell me the same thing. It's

431
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:20,159
Speaker 2: a great five year car. And you know I just

432
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 2: after that, you say, hmmm. I would talk to Hundai Corporate.

433
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:27,280
Speaker 2: I would ask them, hey, is this vehicle subject to

434
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:29,199
Speaker 2: any problems? And see what kind of answer you get then,

435
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:31,880
Speaker 2: because I bet you get a different answer all right,

436
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 2: And you know, you go buy any Hundaid dealer if

437
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:37,640
Speaker 2: you ever notice, if you look out back, they've always

438
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:40,199
Speaker 2: got a bunch of cars out there, you know that

439
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 2: look like they have the engine out And the reason

440
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:47,080
Speaker 2: is because they probably do. Because the average Hundaid dealership

441
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:48,720
Speaker 2: the last time I checked, was two and a half

442
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:52,639
Speaker 2: three months backlog doing engines. Oh wow, Oh yeah, so

443
00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:56,120
Speaker 2: this is not this is not an impossibility. All right.

444
00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 2: They've gotten better over time. Two years ago, I would

445
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 2: have told you it was a four month backlog, all right.

446
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 2: But but Hyundai has had such engine problems. I'm stunned

447
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:10,520
Speaker 2: the company is still in business. It boggles my mind.

448
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:13,040
Speaker 2: And if you raise your voice loud enough and get

449
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:16,119
Speaker 2: to the right person in corporate, they will accommodate you.

450
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 2: And I would not be surprised if they give her

451
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:21,240
Speaker 2: a complete engine for free. I'm not promising, but I'm

452
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 2: just saying. It pays to make a stink, all right.

453
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:27,800
Speaker 2: She she might be asked, she might be asked for,

454
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:32,680
Speaker 2: you know, oil change records, all right? Did she did?

455
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 2: She happen to use the dealership for her oil change services?

456
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:39,199
Speaker 3: She bought the cutter new in Oklahoma City and she

457
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:42,000
Speaker 3: always had it serviced by a private mechanic there.

458
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 2: Okay, does she have records? Does she have records of that?

459
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:48,679
Speaker 2: Wou Yeah, decent records. And then when she you know,

460
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:49,399
Speaker 2: is she is?

461
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 5: She?

462
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:51,920
Speaker 2: Is she in Minnesota, she's in Oklahoma City.

463
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 3: Well, now she's in Minnesota. She's actually teaching at Annunciation School. Okay,

464
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:57,280
Speaker 3: familiar with that, right?

465
00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah? So is she does she have service records

466
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:04,840
Speaker 2: of you know, currently you know. What I'm trying to

467
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 2: say is she should be changing the oil at a

468
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:08,800
Speaker 2: minimum every five months five thousand miles?

469
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:11,960
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, and she's always done that, and I've always

470
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:15,640
Speaker 3: encouraged the kids to close three thousand right insurance? Right?

471
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:18,200
Speaker 2: And does she have copies of that? And she can

472
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 2: provide some form of Hey, I serviced it within reason.

473
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 2: It's not it's and the conversation Ted has to go, Hey,

474
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:28,360
Speaker 2: you know, listen, I'm not making an unreasonable request. We purchased,

475
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:31,359
Speaker 2: we purchased a vehicle new, we serviced it within reason.

476
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:33,320
Speaker 2: You know, is there a couple of oil changes where

477
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:35,960
Speaker 2: we went seven thousand instead of five thousand? Maybe? Is

478
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:37,680
Speaker 2: there a couple of oil changes where we went three

479
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 2: thousand instead of five thousand. Sure, all right, but you

480
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 2: can't tell me that two longer oil changes or four

481
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:46,080
Speaker 2: longer oil changes in the one hundred thousand life cycle

482
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:48,359
Speaker 2: of a vehicle makes it burn oil at one hundred

483
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 2: thousand miles. That's that's that's the argument, all right.

484
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:55,120
Speaker 3: She was averaging one hundred and fifty miles a day

485
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:58,120
Speaker 3: or all last year, right, she was, you know, relocating.

486
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:01,719
Speaker 2: Is is there any documentation that before it hit one

487
00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:04,640
Speaker 2: hundred thousand mile market went into a dealership service department

488
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:06,760
Speaker 2: with an oil consumption complaint?

489
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:10,920
Speaker 3: No? No, it's you know, she's very independent girl. She's

490
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:13,800
Speaker 3: a single woman, and she's been on her own. And

491
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:16,080
Speaker 3: when she comes up every once in a while, I

492
00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:18,200
Speaker 3: always make a point I have pop all the hoods

493
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:20,920
Speaker 3: done for all the kids, right yep. And I noticed,

494
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:24,080
Speaker 3: my god, you know, she was down you know, the

495
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:25,119
Speaker 3: court and a half two courts.

496
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:28,320
Speaker 2: Okay, So then the argument becomes, Then the argument becomes

497
00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:30,480
Speaker 2: and then I gotta go, brother, But the argument becomes,

498
00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:33,080
Speaker 2: doesn't this car didn't this car have a ten year,

499
00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:35,160
Speaker 2: one hundred thousand mile engine warranty?

500
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:37,040
Speaker 5: Yeah?

501
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:40,000
Speaker 2: And it did, Yeah it did. Right, So here you

502
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 2: are at one hundred and four thousand. Now, I can't

503
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:45,080
Speaker 2: prove it to you, mister Hyundai Corporate, But we really

504
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:47,840
Speaker 2: started to notice this problem in the mid nineties and

505
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:49,480
Speaker 2: it just took us a while to figure it out.

506
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:51,919
Speaker 2: And then we realized, you don't tell him. Hey, we

507
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:53,560
Speaker 2: called the Car Doctor radio show and this is what

508
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:55,960
Speaker 2: Ron told us, and he made us aware of this bulletin,

509
00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:57,399
Speaker 2: and he made us aware of the condition and the

510
00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:00,240
Speaker 2: problems that you're having. So can't we solve this to

511
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:02,480
Speaker 2: be and reasonably and conduct business at some sort of

512
00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:04,800
Speaker 2: a human level. See how they react to that?

513
00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:08,400
Speaker 3: Okay online?

514
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:12,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think corporate offices are in California and they'll

515
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 2: probably open a case. They're going to call it a

516
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:17,159
Speaker 2: corporate case. They'll open a case, and I'll be shocked

517
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:19,680
Speaker 2: if they don't do something for you, Ted, I really would,

518
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:22,080
Speaker 2: because everybody that I sent, let me put it to

519
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:24,240
Speaker 2: you this way, I've never put an engine in a Hundai.

520
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:26,840
Speaker 2: You know why, because every time I find a bad one,

521
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:32,440
Speaker 2: Hundai does it for them. And you know I've never

522
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:35,640
Speaker 2: and I've I've found more than a few. It got

523
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 2: to the point where the local and I tell this

524
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:40,119
Speaker 2: story all the time, the local Hundai dealer here in

525
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:43,040
Speaker 2: North Jersey. I knew Bruce on a first name basis.

526
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:45,240
Speaker 2: I call him up, Hey, Bruce, how's it going? You know,

527
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:46,680
Speaker 2: like he was my best buddy. We were at the

528
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:50,679
Speaker 2: bar having alcohol, adult beverages. Okay. I wouldn't know what

529
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:52,399
Speaker 2: Bruce looked like if he was standing next to me

530
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:55,399
Speaker 2: on the subway, all right, and he would tell me

531
00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:57,479
Speaker 2: his life story. I knew everything that was going on

532
00:26:57,480 --> 00:27:00,280
Speaker 2: in that dealership about you know, how they couldn't get

533
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:04,159
Speaker 2: cars to stay together with engines. And unfortunately he's not

534
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:06,680
Speaker 2: there anymore because he got so burnt out doing you know,

535
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 2: so many engines, thirty five engines a month. He was like,

536
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:12,080
Speaker 2: I can't do this anymore. I think he's think he's

537
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:15,359
Speaker 2: painting houses. He's looking for a simpler life. But just

538
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:17,600
Speaker 2: know that, yeah, you are in the right that it's

539
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:20,280
Speaker 2: not unreasonable. Get your hands on that bulletin, read it

540
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:22,280
Speaker 2: and there's your proof. Good luck to you, Ted, and

541
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 2: tell your daughter best of luck. I'm running any in

542
00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 2: the car. Doctor. We are back right after this. Welcome back.

543
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:46,920
Speaker 2: Let's go to Mike and Michigan. A lot of Michigan today.

544
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:48,760
Speaker 2: Sixteen Chevy Tahoe Mike, what's going on?

545
00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 8: Hey, Ron, thanks for taking the time. My dad and

546
00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:55,199
Speaker 8: I last weekend drove from Michigan to southern Arkansas to

547
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:58,080
Speaker 8: pick up a new to US twenty sixteen Tahoe. Wanted

548
00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:00,480
Speaker 8: one that didn't live habits life in the Michigan Salt

549
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:04,320
Speaker 8: and on the way home, I noticed the transmission temperature

550
00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:06,680
Speaker 8: was running at one hundred and ninety six degrees, which,

551
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:10,960
Speaker 8: for being temperatures outside in the single digits to team,

552
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:13,600
Speaker 8: seemed awful warm to me. I called my dad, who

553
00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:16,600
Speaker 8: was driving in a twenty thirteen avalanche ahead of me

554
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:20,080
Speaker 8: with the same six L eighty transmission in it, and

555
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:22,919
Speaker 8: his temperature was running about one hundred and fifteen degrees.

556
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:25,760
Speaker 8: We thought we'd got Taho with a bad transmission or

557
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:29,960
Speaker 8: a problem. Doing some research, we found that in twenty fourteen,

558
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:34,400
Speaker 8: GM started putting a thermal bypass valve on this transmission

559
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:37,680
Speaker 8: to not let fluid reach the cooler until it reaches

560
00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:39,200
Speaker 8: one hundred and ninety five degrees.

561
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 5: Well, I wanted your thoughts.

562
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:45,880
Speaker 8: On utting, because there's all kinds of We have three options.

563
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:49,040
Speaker 8: There's an aftermarket kit to bypass this thing and just

564
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:52,080
Speaker 8: let the fluid go right to the cooler like they

565
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:55,080
Speaker 8: always have in the past, or leave it alone truck

566
00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:56,920
Speaker 8: the GM engineers and let it run at a nine

567
00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 8: one hundred and ninety five degrees, or do a middle

568
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:01,800
Speaker 8: row what it looks like there's you can get one

569
00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:03,520
Speaker 8: of these things for the thermostat that might do one

570
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:05,280
Speaker 8: hundred and fifty five or something like that.

571
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:06,600
Speaker 5: I just wanted your thoughts on this.

572
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:09,360
Speaker 2: You know, were you at were you the guy at

573
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:11,320
Speaker 2: the shop two weeks ago when we were having lunch

574
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:13,680
Speaker 2: and the trans guys stopped by, and my GM guys

575
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:15,720
Speaker 2: stopped by, and we were all sitting there having I

576
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:17,680
Speaker 2: swear to god, we had this conversation because we were

577
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:20,320
Speaker 2: all running around the room well you know, and for

578
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:24,480
Speaker 2: the life of us, and I'm talking season GM techs,

579
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:28,800
Speaker 2: seasoned TRANS guys, general independent mechanics like us, we can't

580
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:31,920
Speaker 2: figure out why they're running trans tempt so high because

581
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:33,680
Speaker 2: you know, one of the first things they teach you

582
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:39,720
Speaker 2: is death temperature is death to transmission fluid. And you know,

583
00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:43,880
Speaker 2: where's the logic in this? So I kind of like

584
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:45,719
Speaker 2: the middle of the road thing. I like the one

585
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:49,720
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty five you know, bypass thermostat because it's

586
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:51,280
Speaker 2: it's not going to be too cold, it's not going

587
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:53,600
Speaker 2: to be too hot, and I'm going to monitor I'm

588
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:57,480
Speaker 2: going to monitor fluid, you know, quality and quantity and degradation,

589
00:29:57,560 --> 00:30:00,160
Speaker 2: and you know, how does it fall apart because uh,

590
00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:03,600
Speaker 2: you know, I think there'd be issues with too cold.

591
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:06,680
Speaker 2: It might shorten the life of the converter. And I'm

592
00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:09,000
Speaker 2: more worried about the converter than anything else in that

593
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:13,000
Speaker 2: trans all right. If GM has a trans problem, it's

594
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:17,360
Speaker 2: in the converters. Yeah, yeah, they've they've got some issues

595
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 2: with you know, the clutch packs and the bands and

596
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:22,640
Speaker 2: so forth. But it's it's the converters, the torque converters

597
00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:25,000
Speaker 2: that tend to get beat up more than anything. So

598
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:27,479
Speaker 2: I like a little bit of heat. I like one

599
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:30,600
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty degree range, you know, I think to

600
00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:33,680
Speaker 2: completely bypass it. I'm not sure what the GM engineers

601
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:38,440
Speaker 2: were thinking. I'm thinking, quite honestly, as I said at

602
00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:40,520
Speaker 2: the meeting we had at lunch that day and it

603
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:42,120
Speaker 2: just kind of worked out that way. Everybody kind of

604
00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:44,480
Speaker 2: stopped by the shop to say, hey, I said, well,

605
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:47,160
Speaker 2: this must be because God must be doing something to

606
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:51,920
Speaker 2: get everybody together. I'm thinking they're thinking fuel economy because

607
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:54,160
Speaker 2: it can't be longevity.

608
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:57,560
Speaker 7: There's there's because I've never heard of being too cold

609
00:30:57,560 --> 00:31:00,480
Speaker 7: of a fluid to all the transmission, but certainly too

610
00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:02,600
Speaker 7: hot a temperatures can kill a transmit, right.

611
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:05,840
Speaker 2: You know, I typically see when I plow with the truck,

612
00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:08,600
Speaker 2: my plow truck by twenty two, which is a six speed,

613
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:12,840
Speaker 2: all right, I will watch I will watch trans temperature

614
00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:15,360
Speaker 2: and you know it starts working hard. I get up

615
00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:17,480
Speaker 2: to you know, that one hundred and ninety two hundred

616
00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:19,720
Speaker 2: degree range, and you know I worry about it, but

617
00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:22,280
Speaker 2: I go, well, I you know, there's not much I

618
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:24,160
Speaker 2: can do about it. I haven't really stopped to think

619
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:26,520
Speaker 2: about putting a bypass in there, but I tend to.

620
00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:28,160
Speaker 2: You know, the truck's got ten thousand miles on it.

621
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:30,320
Speaker 2: I probably won't have the truck at fifty you know,

622
00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:32,080
Speaker 2: I won't have it when it when it gets older.

623
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:34,680
Speaker 2: So if you're looking for you know, longevity, I think

624
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:37,200
Speaker 2: you do have to do something. But my point is

625
00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:39,440
Speaker 2: I will also look at trans temp on some of

626
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:43,000
Speaker 2: my other older GM vehicles without this thermal bypass. I

627
00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:45,400
Speaker 2: see average trans temp in that one forty to one

628
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:48,920
Speaker 2: sixty range one sixty five range. So I just think

629
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:50,840
Speaker 2: that extra thirty degrees is too much.

630
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:53,640
Speaker 8: And yeah, that's what I've always been accustomed to, is

631
00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:56,000
Speaker 8: the temperatures you're talking about right there. That's why I

632
00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:58,040
Speaker 8: was just it shocked me that it was one hundred

633
00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:00,280
Speaker 8: and ninety five degree trans temperature when the ad being

634
00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:01,920
Speaker 8: temperature within the single digits.

635
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:03,800
Speaker 5: I didn't like that because what happens when.

636
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:06,080
Speaker 8: You get in the summer stop and go traffic type situations,

637
00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:08,920
Speaker 8: you don't have much of a buffer to get up

638
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:12,240
Speaker 8: to what do you consider dangerous transmission temperature.

639
00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:12,680
Speaker 2: Over to twenty.

640
00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:13,840
Speaker 4: Yeah.

641
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:15,960
Speaker 8: See, we're pretty close to two twenty before they even

642
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:17,280
Speaker 8: have a chance to get to the cooler.

643
00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:20,640
Speaker 2: Right, wait on July, so you know when July. Well,

644
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:22,240
Speaker 2: just remember this. And I'm gonna get a lot of

645
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:23,560
Speaker 2: heat for this one, Mike, but I'll say it in

646
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:26,920
Speaker 2: this case, remember what GM stands for Giant mistakes. I

647
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:28,840
Speaker 2: think they made one eight five five five six o

648
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:31,640
Speaker 2: nine nine zero zero. Appreciate the call, Mike. I'm coming

649
00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:45,960
Speaker 2: back right after this. Hey, So as we wind it

650
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:48,720
Speaker 2: down this hour, remember last week I talked to you

651
00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:52,960
Speaker 2: about first brands. Remember the the parts conglomeration, the company

652
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:57,520
Speaker 2: that was the overseer for Move go Out to light Ray,

653
00:32:57,560 --> 00:33:00,560
Speaker 2: Besta's first Break, Breaks First to whatever it was, and

654
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:03,800
Speaker 2: so much of the automotive aftermarket names that we've come

655
00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:06,400
Speaker 2: to know and trust and value for the past seventy

656
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:09,760
Speaker 2: five to eighty years, and how certain brands are going away,

657
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:12,520
Speaker 2: the companies in bankruptcy. It was in the news that

658
00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:15,760
Speaker 2: the founder, Patrick James and his brother vice president Ed

659
00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:18,520
Speaker 2: have been indicted in Manhattan, New York, federal court for

660
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:23,000
Speaker 2: defrauding lenders out of billions of dollars. Well, that's the

661
00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:26,320
Speaker 2: financial impact, right, And last week I mentioned to you

662
00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:28,640
Speaker 2: that you might see some parts issues and how that

663
00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:31,960
Speaker 2: could affect the supply chain. I called up some of

664
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:34,840
Speaker 2: my supply houses this week and I talked to the

665
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:37,520
Speaker 2: guys that are on the line first, first and foremost.

666
00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:42,360
Speaker 2: They're seeing this every day. Yeah, there's a problem. There's

667
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:45,400
Speaker 2: a real problem. Break calipers or an issue cardon is gone.

668
00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:47,640
Speaker 2: All right, a one cardone out of Philadelphia. They've been

669
00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:51,480
Speaker 2: there for I mean before the war. You know, started

670
00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:55,520
Speaker 2: as a starter rebuilder back in the twenties, and they're gone.

671
00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:58,080
Speaker 2: The company has gone. Part of the first Brands Group default.

672
00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:01,360
Speaker 2: But there's certain things that finding Ron was telling me,

673
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:03,560
Speaker 2: my guy at one of my parts houses, there's certain

674
00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:05,560
Speaker 2: things they can't get. You can't buy a twenty two

675
00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:09,200
Speaker 2: inch wiper blade in some cases because you know, First

676
00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:12,640
Speaker 2: Brands was involved with Trico, which is on the verge,

677
00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:14,600
Speaker 2: and they made a lot of the twenty two inch

678
00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:18,600
Speaker 2: blades for a lot of manufacturers under different names, Bosh Motorcraft,

679
00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:22,880
Speaker 2: you know Trico. Obviously, funny things like that. They were

680
00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:24,520
Speaker 2: having a sales meeting. He had just come out of

681
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:27,120
Speaker 2: five minutes before. I called him midweek last week and

682
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:29,359
Speaker 2: he was telling me how they were discussing this, that

683
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:31,799
Speaker 2: they have huge holes in their product lines that they're

684
00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:36,120
Speaker 2: trying to fill from places that don't exist yet. Is

685
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:40,680
Speaker 2: things like the First Brand's default a matter of national security.

686
00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:44,200
Speaker 2: We can't get autoparts, we can't move cars, we can't

687
00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:48,960
Speaker 2: fix cars. Something to think about. More to come. We'll continue.

688
00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:51,440
Speaker 2: I'm running ady in the car doctor. Remember good mechanics

689
00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:58,000
