27
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 1: over to Chip in Wisconsin thirteen Chevy Cruise. Yes, Chip,

28
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 1: how can I help? You're on with the car doctor.

29
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:38,040
Speaker 1: What's cooking? Hi for my call? Um? My neighbor who

30
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:41,759
Speaker 1: is eighty. She has a two thousand, thirteen Chevy Cruise

31
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 1: LT that she is selling. It has thirty four tho miles.

32
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 1: Um gonna own her. She's asking eight thousand dollars. Um.

33
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 1: I've done my homework on the internet and the reviews

34
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 1: are anywhere from it's the biggest TuS stay away to

35
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 1: love the I don't know what to believe or is

36
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 1: it what's getting? Um? You know they're they're very predictable

37
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 1: in their failures. I will say it like that, and

38
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:17,800
Speaker 1: I think that, you know, I think it's about numbers,

39
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,520
Speaker 1: all right, Chip. I really think it's about dollars in

40
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:24,960
Speaker 1: the sense that you know, if if this size this

41
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 1: year make model range condition range is eight thousand and

42
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:33,360
Speaker 1: the nearest thing in a four Toyota Honda, you know,

43
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 1: Nissan whatever is twelve thousand. Five grand buys a lot

44
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,959
Speaker 1: of repairs if if everything else in its class is

45
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 1: you know, it's not a it's not a good number

46
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 1: and it's not a good thing to do if you

47
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 1: follow me. They go through they go through thermostat housings,

48
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:50,359
Speaker 1: they go through valve covers. As a matter of fact,

49
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:53,920
Speaker 1: the valve cover is probably under recoil from GM if

50
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 1: it hasn't been done already, because the internal baffle fails

51
00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 1: causing a lean running fuel condition. The upper radiat or

52
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 1: hose where the plastic nipple comes out. It's a common

53
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 1: failure that goes bad. They go through water pumps. Uh,

54
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 1: you know. On the plus side, I've never seen one

55
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 1: fail at trans I've never had one imploded engine. So

56
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 1: it's always the stupid stuff hanging on the outside of

57
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 1: it that fails that goes bad. In my mind, now,

58
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 1: once you get past what I call the plastic plethora

59
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 1: of garbage, because it's all plastic here. Everything except the

60
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 1: water pump is plastic. I'm not sure jam was I

61
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 1: don't know either they're three D printing it or their

62
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 1: their injection molding it or whatever they're doing. Uh, once

63
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 1: you get past replacing all the plastic pieces, they're pretty good,

64
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 1: you know. I I. You've just got to be willing to,

65
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 1: you know, put the time in and and and spend

66
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 1: some money to get it going. But like I said,

67
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 1: if if the nearest thing in the class with the

68
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 1: mileages is five thousand bucks more, you're you're probably going

69
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 1: to take a beating just for the repairs. And that's

70
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 1: just a realistic perspective. Um, it's it's it's I almost

71
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 1: bought one, I'll put it to you that way, but

72
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 1: the dealer didn't have the one that I wanted, and

73
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 1: I ended up finding something else, and I put the

74
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 1: kid in an escape and that's what led to the

75
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 1: four escape back in fourteen. Um, you know that's the

76
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 1: way it went. Would you take a chance to you, well,

77
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:16,920
Speaker 1: I I will, I will say this, do you have

78
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:26,279
Speaker 1: a regular mechanic? Say again, okay, so you know if

79
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:30,039
Speaker 1: if you know, yeah, I'd probably take a chance. But again,

80
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 1: what are other cars in that in that class and

81
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 1: mileage going for? If everything else, if everything else is

82
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 1: twelve thousand dollars five grand buys a lot of repairs.

83
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 1: And you know it's It's what I always say to

84
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 1: somebody buying an older car. We know where the problems

85
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:51,159
Speaker 1: are and and and this car is untouched. Likely. Uh,

86
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,040
Speaker 1: you know, I'm sure the little old lady had you know,

87
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:56,040
Speaker 1: six oil change is done and that was it. If anything,

88
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 1: if anything, they wore out the dream plug threads. All right,

89
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 1: you know I would I would take this, this thirteen car,

90
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 1: and I would change all the fluids. This is. If

91
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 1: it's a wet it goes type of a vehicle. All right.

92
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 1: You got to assume nothing has been done to it.

93
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:12,799
Speaker 1: It's eight years old, you know, cool and trans break, fluid,

94
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 1: engine oil, whatever. If it's wet, it's got it, it goes.

95
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:18,839
Speaker 1: And then you know you want to you want to

96
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 1: look and see is the valve cover still under recoil.

97
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 1: There's a baffle in there that fails. Take a look

98
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 1: at the thermostat housing over on the driver's side where

99
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:29,280
Speaker 1: the where the upper hose goes. Does it look like

100
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 1: it's been changed. If not, you know you probably want

101
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 1: to change it or get ready to change it, because

102
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 1: it's real common they break off the little nipples sitting

103
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 1: at the top, and they were the bypass comes in

104
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,040
Speaker 1: from the overflow bottle and they leak cool into all

105
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 1: over the place. And that's what I mean. You know,

106
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 1: forty years ago, I would buy a used car when

107
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,159
Speaker 1: the kids were young. I never wanted to put the

108
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:55,719
Speaker 1: kids in something brand new because I knew what happened. Right.

109
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 1: The back seat was filled with cracker Jack's. The floor

110
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:02,799
Speaker 1: looked like, you know, baby bottles and toys and everything.

111
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 1: I mean, you know what it's like. It's like you'd

112
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:06,160
Speaker 1: get in the car and some of these cars and

113
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 1: it's like cereal. It was like a serial coated back

114
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 1: seat and you know what, You're gonna buy a new

115
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:14,279
Speaker 1: car and destroy it. So my kids grew up in

116
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 1: Chevy and Palace, all right. And I would go out.

117
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 1: I'd find a Chevy and pala back in the day

118
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:23,279
Speaker 1: and I'd go through it, breaks, tire shocks, fluids, belts, hoses,

119
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 1: carburetor or whatever I'd have to do. And you know, ahead,

120
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 1: go beat the car for five years. I'll see you

121
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 1: in five years. And they destroy it, and like you

122
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 1: would expect them to do, That's what kids do, right,

123
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 1: That's Okay, that's part of growing up, and um, just

124
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 1: go buy another one. You know what, I knew where

125
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:39,839
Speaker 1: the problems were on that Chevy and Palace. We know

126
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 1: where the problems are on this Chevy Cruise, and you

127
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 1: know it's it's I'd probably take the chance, price being

128
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:52,159
Speaker 1: my main consideration and obviously overall consideration. So you know,

129
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 1: just just do you have time for one more question?

130
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 1: Sure too? For a nickel today? What can I tell you? Uh,

131
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 1: Chevy in paws change the oil every Penzelt synthetic we

132
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 1: use shell gas and every three to four tankfols we

133
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 1: use the Berriman's um. She commutes her commuter is about

134
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 1: twenty minutes each way on the highway, and when she

135
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 1: comes home and she brings it into the garage, it

136
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 1: has a sulfur smell or a rotten eggs snow the exhaust.

137
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 1: There was a conversation about a reflesh I believe for that.

138
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 1: I think you're going to find a bulletin that discusses

139
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 1: that how long has it been doing how how long

140
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 1: has it had the smell. We've had the car for

141
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 1: a year, so it's been doing it for about a

142
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 1: year now. I didn't know if the cat was going

143
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 1: bad or what would cause that snow? Um, I would

144
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 1: want to look at fuel trim. Is fuel trim high

145
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 1: but not enough to turn on a light? Is there

146
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 1: an issue with the crank case ventilation systems of the

147
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 1: PCV valve or the crank ventilation system work properly? And

148
00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 1: is there a reflesh for that? Something about a reflesh

149
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 1: from GM a software update sticks in my mind. I've

150
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 1: seen I've seen a Bolton or two talking about that

151
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 1: rotten egg smell that you get. And and then just

152
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 1: for giggles, have you ever considered changing brands of fuel

153
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 1: or blends of fuel? No, I think she has the

154
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 1: best gas, but maybe not well, you know, it's it's

155
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what chip it's. I don't think it's

156
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 1: a question of who's got the best anything anymore. Sometimes

157
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 1: you find certain things, you know, it's like certain hotdogs

158
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 1: give you indigestion. You know, you know, suppread's a good

159
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 1: hot dooog. They're not for everybody, and you know you

160
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 1: just got to kind of you can play around with

161
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,840
Speaker 1: it and see does that make any difference too? But uh,

162
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 1: you know, just to take a look at those things

163
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 1: and see what it cats you all right, enjoy your cruise,

164
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 1: super thank you for your time, sir, Weekend. You're very welcome.

165
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 1: You take good care. I'm running any of the Car

166
00:08:50,559 --> 00:09:08,440
Speaker 1: Doctor zero. We'll be back right after this UM. Welcome

Speaker 1: five five zero zero and that number is seven. When

170
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:19,719
Speaker 1: this show is not on the air, we're live out

176
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 1: Because we like to talk to you up here. It's easier, Uh, Frankly,

177
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:37,960
Speaker 1: it's just easier because usually what you have to ask

178
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 1: as a question is applicable to so many other people.

179
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 1: And we're just trying to spread and share the information

180
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 1: so that everybody, everybody can learn and everybody can get

181
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:48,079
Speaker 1: their problem solved. That's what this radio show is all about.

182
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 1: Let's get over to Alex in Connecticut, oh nine Toyota

183
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:52,320
Speaker 1: at the Comma Alex. What's going on? Welcome to the

184
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 1: car doctor, sir, thank you very much. Um. So, about

185
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 1: a month or two ago, UM, at the start of

186
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:02,320
Speaker 1: COVID it, I started to have some what seemed like

187
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 1: transmission issues with my tacoma. UM, and then I kind

188
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:06,680
Speaker 1: of stopped driving it for a while. I was working

189
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:09,880
Speaker 1: from home, so it didn't really get worse. Um. But

190
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 1: now I'm starting to drive again. I basically whenever, whenever

191
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:17,680
Speaker 1: I'm going up a hill between like and forty five,

192
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,079
Speaker 1: if I'm at a lower rpm, I get some pretty

193
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 1: heavy vibrations there until I pressed give it more gas

194
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 1: and it down shifts. So I brought it to my mechanic. Um.

195
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 1: He's not really about doing transmission flushes, so we just

196
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 1: he didn't. He added some additive he checked the levels.

197
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:37,320
Speaker 1: Everything's fine there, um. And then he suggested bringing it

198
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:40,080
Speaker 1: to a dealership to see if they're on software updates.

199
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 1: So I did that last week and they basically said

200
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 1: that my version doesn't have any software updates. And we

201
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 1: we took it for a drive and they told me

202
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 1: that my torque converter is starting to go. Of course,

203
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 1: they say that I need a new transmission after that,

204
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:59,320
Speaker 1: and the thing is, I'm not really sure what to do,

205
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 1: because I talked a mechanic and he said, we could

206
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 1: in theory drop the transmission and replace the TORU converter,

207
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 1: but you don't know if it already damage to your transmission.

208
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,080
Speaker 1: Um So I just kind of want to see what

209
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 1: your opinion is on that. I like the way your

210
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:17,319
Speaker 1: mechanic thinks. Okay, And you know, this is a case

211
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:20,440
Speaker 1: of it's it's you know, we're either going to spend

212
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:24,080
Speaker 1: a couple of three doing fluid, we're gonna spend probably

213
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:27,680
Speaker 1: two thousand dollars doing a converter, or we're probably gonna

214
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 1: spend five six grand doing a trance. So it's you know,

215
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 1: these are the levels you're at, knowing toyotas for what

216
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 1: they are. This should be WUS fluid World world class.

217
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 1: And the fact is we're seeing issues with their fluid

218
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:45,440
Speaker 1: right now, and it's been coming on for a while

219
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 1: where you know, sixty eight thousand miles they'll start to

220
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:53,560
Speaker 1: do just what you're describing. And it's funny, not every vehicle,

221
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:56,840
Speaker 1: and I see it mostly in the trucks, two comas,

222
00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 1: four runners, all right, the pickup trucks, the big truck.

223
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 1: And I think it has something to do with weight.

224
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 1: That it's it's the the the weight. The heat generated

225
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 1: by the vehicles is causing the fluid to breakdown sooner.

226
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 1: I agree with your mechanic. I think doing just a

227
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 1: converter and you really wouldn't know this until you looked

228
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 1: at fluid, which I'm guessing. And O nine I'm trying

229
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 1: to remember an O nine do you have a dipstick?

230
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:23,719
Speaker 1: I don't know if you do or not. I do not.

231
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:26,720
Speaker 1: He actually checked it when I brought it in, and

232
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 1: he said everything looked good. I mean, it's a hundred thirties,

233
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:31,560
Speaker 1: so it looked like that, but it wasn't like black.

234
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,720
Speaker 1: Have you ever have you ever changed the fluid? I

235
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:37,960
Speaker 1: got it around eighty and I did not, so okay

236
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:40,960
Speaker 1: that I don't think the person before me did. Okay,

237
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 1: why don't we do a fluid change? And and and

238
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:46,440
Speaker 1: why don't we do it so that you know, let's

239
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:49,600
Speaker 1: do an exchange. Let's listen, you're you're kind of there normally,

240
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:51,439
Speaker 1: if you're if you're a regularly listening, you know this.

241
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you. Let's do it. Let's do a

242
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,440
Speaker 1: pan drop, put four or five six quarts in it

243
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 1: and come back in ten thousand miles and then do

244
00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 1: the rest of it. But I think you're sort of

245
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 1: you're there. I think the fluid. It's either your fluid

246
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 1: is worn out or the converters weren't out. If the

247
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 1: converters weren't out, you're gonna have to go through the

248
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:09,080
Speaker 1: unit at this mileage. And I think that's where you're at.

249
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 1: I'm betting that you're gonna have a fluid issue. So

250
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:15,079
Speaker 1: your choices are do a fluid exchange, and your your

251
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 1: mechanic could do this very easily. Just pop off the

252
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:19,920
Speaker 1: cooler lines, figure out which is the end, which is

253
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 1: the out. Fill it through the cooler, all right, you know,

254
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 1: put put the end that's gonna suck into the into

255
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:29,080
Speaker 1: a pan filled with fresh fluid. Just keep filling fresh fluid.

256
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 1: Just run out the hose on the other side until

257
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 1: the fluid comes out clear. Put it together and drive it.

258
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:36,080
Speaker 1: See what happens. And I have I can sell you

259
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:38,559
Speaker 1: from experience. I have fixed more than a few cars

260
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:42,320
Speaker 1: doing just like that, just as I'm describing. All Right,

261
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:47,319
Speaker 1: the editive pack is okay, but my experience has been

262
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:50,839
Speaker 1: the editive pack works better if there's actually something physically wrong.

263
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 1: With the converter. I think what you're what you're experiencing

264
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:57,679
Speaker 1: is that the fluid itself has worn out. It's vitamin

265
00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:01,680
Speaker 1: pack is gone, and one editive doesn't make enough of

266
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,080
Speaker 1: a difference. You could put multiple additives in. But now

267
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 1: you're you know, you're you're going into an area that

268
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:09,240
Speaker 1: I've never been, and you're sort of over over medicating

269
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 1: the patient. You know, if the doctor says take one

270
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 1: pill and you take seven because the one makes you

271
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:16,200
Speaker 1: feel better, you know, are you gonna feel seven times better?

272
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:18,560
Speaker 1: I don't know. It might be worse, might be fatal

273
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 1: um you know, you might diminish the hydraulic capability and

274
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 1: the operating characteristic of the trans fluid. So you know,

275
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 1: if your mechanic doesn't have a fluid exchange machine, which

276
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 1: is fine, just you know, do it through the cooler ones.

277
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 1: It'll take him a little bit of time. I'm sure

278
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 1: you'll charge a couple of hours and make sure he's

279
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 1: got enough of the correct fluid on hand. But I

280
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 1: think that's the way to go, because to continue to

281
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 1: drive it, If you continue to drive it, if it's

282
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 1: not a trans it's gonna be you're gonna tear the

283
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 1: trans up all right, and that's going to create a

284
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 1: problem if you do just a converter. You know, it's

285
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 1: eleven years old. It's a it's a bit of labor

286
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:59,360
Speaker 1: to get it out, all right. You know you're you're

287
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 1: probably I need to keep the vehicle a long time. Yeah,

288
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 1: as long as I can, right, you know, I mean

289
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 1: you're hoping another five six years? Right? You know when

290
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:11,880
Speaker 1: do you want to find out? You know it's and

291
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 1: this is a this is this is a monetary thing, Alex.

292
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 1: You know, I hope you don't have to put a

293
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 1: trans in it, but if you do, wouldn't you rather

294
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 1: know now rather than later? So you know what, roll

295
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 1: the dice, baby, get a get a tell them to

296
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 1: get a case twenty four courts of WUS and just

297
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 1: run it through. I think capacity on that trans is

298
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 1: twelve to fourteen courts, but double check it. It might

299
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 1: have a deep pan on it. And then you want

300
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 1: to over compensate. You're gonna put you know, if it's fourteen,

301
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 1: you're gonna put probably eighteen through it, you know, to

302
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 1: make sure you get it all and then just a

303
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 1: fluid level to speck and drive it and see what happens. Um,

304
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 1: I can tell you from personal experience. Daughter Unit number two,

305
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 1: the one in the middle, her her, her fur runner,

306
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:56,400
Speaker 1: had this exact same problem. She developed it around seventy

307
00:15:56,440 --> 00:16:00,560
Speaker 1: five thousand miles. I was floored. I was like, really, uh,

308
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:03,560
Speaker 1: you know, seventy five thousand miles, the fluid smoked, changed

309
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 1: the fluid. The truck's been fined since. And uh, you

310
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 1: know she's the military kids, she's the one with the guns.

311
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 1: So I worry about her the most. H So, all right,

312
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 1: and and you don't think putting fluid through truck that

313
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 1: has a hundred thirty and has never been changed before,

314
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:24,280
Speaker 1: we'll cause issues, or it might. But what if it doesn't.

315
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 1: What if you're you know, I mean the issue is

316
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 1: you may already have an issue. Yeah, right, you know.

317
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:35,320
Speaker 1: So it's it's you know, it's it's it's a gamble.

318
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 1: The odds are in your favor, all right. I believe

319
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 1: the odds are in your favor. I'd be sitting here

320
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:42,080
Speaker 1: telling you to put a trans in it. But a

321
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:46,040
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty is young and based on you know, listen,

322
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 1: a lot of what we do in life is an

323
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 1: educated guess, right, you know, It's not like it's not

324
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:53,760
Speaker 1: like making a left turn into oncoming traffic. We're we're

325
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 1: we're basing it on facts and what we think and

326
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:58,840
Speaker 1: what our experience has been. And I can tell you

327
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 1: that the majority already of times, changing fluids resolves it,

328
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 1: whereas the rest of the time it's a trans. So

329
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:09,399
Speaker 1: it's you know, there's no gray area here. Uh. You know,

330
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:11,879
Speaker 1: you've just got to be prepared for it mentally and financially.

331
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:13,600
Speaker 1: So you've got to talk about it with your mechanic

332
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:16,280
Speaker 1: and you know, kind of take it from there. Because

333
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 1: if the choice is what if what if it's ten

334
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 1: grand to put a trans in this truck? Alex, how

335
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:22,200
Speaker 1: much the dealer quota? By the way, let me ask

336
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:28,439
Speaker 1: the question that way. Uh y nine? Actually my mechanics said, right,

337
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:30,399
Speaker 1: so it's it's five grand to put a trans in this,

338
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:33,440
Speaker 1: So you know, you know where the worst case scenario

339
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 1: is if if four bucks fixes it, is that better

340
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:44,240
Speaker 1: or worse? Right, let's hope for the best. Right, Let's

341
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 1: let's hope for the best. All right, But you can

342
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:48,359
Speaker 1: do it. You can do a flush through the cooler ones,

343
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 1: all right, it does work. We do it all the time, alright, Alright, Yeah,

344
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:55,440
Speaker 1: very much, appreciate it. You're very welcome. You take good

345
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 1: care of good luck and uh to hear things work

346
00:17:57,840 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 1: that well. You're away from Corona. You know a lot

347
00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:05,240
Speaker 1: of vehicles sitting uh developing, lots of issues with coronavirus

348
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:09,399
Speaker 1: and uh you know we had we had um, we

349
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:12,119
Speaker 1: had more than a few cars. Uh. You know this

350
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:14,159
Speaker 1: week and last week and the week before, in the

351
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 1: week before that, a lot of rust issues, a lot

352
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 1: of things sitting rusty, uh, not getting used. You know

353
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 1: the old adage about a car sitting empty like a

354
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:25,320
Speaker 1: house sitting empty, is not a good thing. Makes me

355
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 1: think there's a lot of mounted houses out there. Judging

356
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:30,160
Speaker 1: by the condition of the cars eight five five zero

357
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:32,880
Speaker 1: zero run any of the car doctor were cruising back

358
00:18:33,000 --> 00:19:00,080
Speaker 1: right after this, don't go away, Hey, welcome back, ac

359
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:01,720
Speaker 1: we're on any of the car doctor. Let's get over

360
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:03,720
Speaker 1: and talk to Let's go over to poll and mean

361
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:06,880
Speaker 1: some questions about brake pads on a Mustang. Paul, welcome

362
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 1: to the car Doctor, sir, How can I help? Well?

363
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:13,760
Speaker 1: Thanks returning my call. Um. I have a good friend,

364
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:16,680
Speaker 1: my best friend since the third grade is into track

365
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:19,520
Speaker 1: day and he's had a few track day cars for

366
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:22,360
Speaker 1: the last twenty years or so, and the last two

367
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:25,680
Speaker 1: he had. One was a two thousand and eleven Mustang

368
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 1: and the one he crashed that out and the money

369
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 1: has now is a two thousand and fifteen Mustang. Now,

370
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 1: unfortunately problem followed one car to the other. These the

371
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:39,520
Speaker 1: six cylinder Mustangs that we went through mostly to Ford

372
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:43,000
Speaker 1: multor Sport and put basically a g T with the

373
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 1: V six engine but still three horse powers. Still got

374
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 1: a little go to it to the exact same thing

375
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 1: with the new car and the two thousand and fifteen car.

376
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:57,320
Speaker 1: And except with the exception being um the breaks, we

377
00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:00,200
Speaker 1: went with the biggest brembos we could get. The he

378
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:02,359
Speaker 1: had to buy new wheels and all that stuff. Here's

379
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:06,440
Speaker 1: what the problem is. Those average track day in America

380
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 1: on Tuesday night, he'd go through an entire set of

381
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:13,600
Speaker 1: brake pads in one evening. Right now to the point

382
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:15,520
Speaker 1: where we have to drop pads just to get the

383
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:18,440
Speaker 1: car home. He goes, he usually drives it. How long?

384
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:22,679
Speaker 1: How long? How long of a race? Uh, it's usually

385
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:25,920
Speaker 1: uh he'll get four sessions, maybe twenty five minutes a piece.

386
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 1: So he's used in about two hours. Uh and he's

387
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 1: also remember a couple of car clubs, and that's a

388
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:34,840
Speaker 1: full on the weekends of usually a full day, he

389
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:39,600
Speaker 1: might get, you know, three hours of track time and uh,

390
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 1: it's just you know, sometimes we have to replace him

391
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:45,680
Speaker 1: just from to finish out the last session. We've gone

392
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:49,399
Speaker 1: with all the different kinds of pads and materials that

393
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:52,360
Speaker 1: you can imagine, and he's finally gone with just buying

394
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:54,399
Speaker 1: the cheapest ones because they all seem to wear at

395
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:57,320
Speaker 1: the exact same rate and they just eat him up.

396
00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:00,359
Speaker 1: Is it is it that all four were out equally?

397
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:06,400
Speaker 1: It's only the front do do equally? Yet? So you're

398
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:10,480
Speaker 1: so you're wearing out the fronts not the rear. Correct? Okay,

399
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 1: is there any break modification to the rear of the vehicle? Yes,

400
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:18,640
Speaker 1: um has bimbo breaks in the back. Also before prior

401
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:20,960
Speaker 1: to that, we put the Ford Motorsport break kit in it.

402
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:23,840
Speaker 1: So how does the car stop? Does it nose dive?

403
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 1: Does it? Does it does it squat? Does it seem

404
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 1: like it has good stopping power? It seems like it

405
00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:31,600
Speaker 1: has very good balance. Because I was thought that we

406
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:33,399
Speaker 1: were going to end up putting a proportioning valve, an

407
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:36,240
Speaker 1: adjustable one into it and I don't see the need

408
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:38,480
Speaker 1: for it. During it quite a few times and it's

409
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 1: very well balanced, and he likes the way it is,

410
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:44,200
Speaker 1: got great pedal right until you know you step on him.

411
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:47,440
Speaker 1: It does nothing because it's rivets um or the bonding

412
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:52,440
Speaker 1: or whatever he gets. Have you checked pressure at the calipers? No,

413
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:55,200
Speaker 1: I don't have a pressure gauge that goes up that high.

414
00:21:55,359 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 1: That's that's that's next. You know that's next because because

415
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:03,359
Speaker 1: as otherwise, otherwise you're just guessing other otherwise. This is

416
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 1: just like the check engine lights on and I think

417
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 1: it's this. I think it's that. That just scannifer codes.

418
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:11,960
Speaker 1: Now you know there's no there's there's no magic number.

419
00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:15,040
Speaker 1: Um there's a company on the West coast and I

420
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 1: can't think of their name, and if I think of it,

421
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:19,720
Speaker 1: I will post it on the Car Doctor Facebook page.

422
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:22,359
Speaker 1: I have to call Shelby Jimmy after the show today anyway.

423
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:25,320
Speaker 1: Jimmy knows who they are. And I've got their brakes

424
00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:28,080
Speaker 1: on black. Jimmy's got their brakes on the Shelby. We've

425
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:30,240
Speaker 1: both been very happy with and we're not racing them,

426
00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 1: but I'm you know, and Jimmy's probably a little harder

427
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:37,600
Speaker 1: on blue than I am. And they're specifically a very

428
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:39,600
Speaker 1: good quality. And I can well, i'll tell you what,

429
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 1: I'm just drawing a complete blank um, you know, but

430
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:45,840
Speaker 1: you may want to go for something like that, you know,

431
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:49,760
Speaker 1: and understand where I'm coming from. As good as brembos are,

432
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:53,280
Speaker 1: the name means nothing to me. Uh you know, it's

433
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:58,440
Speaker 1: Danny's rebuilding, you know, my my mechanic Danny uh blue

434
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:02,000
Speaker 1: number three connecting rod bearing on his He had a

435
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:03,639
Speaker 1: disagreement with the kid in the portion. He wanted to

436
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:06,600
Speaker 1: show him who was bossed Danny kind of one, um.

437
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:10,720
Speaker 1: And Danny wants to make all these modifications to the Camaro,

438
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:13,719
Speaker 1: and I asked him why, you know, bigger, better, faster,

439
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:17,600
Speaker 1: you know, but why And my point is, as it

440
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:18,960
Speaker 1: is with him, as it is with you, as it

441
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:22,119
Speaker 1: is with everybody. There's a reason engineers did what they

442
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:25,920
Speaker 1: did when they built cars, and they didn't change anything

443
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:28,520
Speaker 1: unless they had a reason or proof of why they

444
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:31,879
Speaker 1: were changing it. And that's why I come back to

445
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:34,480
Speaker 1: you and I say, you know, what's the pressure? What's

446
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:37,119
Speaker 1: you know is is the front in the back? You know?

447
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:41,280
Speaker 1: Nine hundred sounds like an imbalance, even though it feels right,

448
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:44,560
Speaker 1: is there an imbalance? And then you know, and I

449
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:47,359
Speaker 1: kind of agree, I almost agree with put the cheapest

450
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:49,160
Speaker 1: break pad on and get through the race, and then

451
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:51,240
Speaker 1: you know, swap him out for another set of pads

452
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:55,640
Speaker 1: to get home, just because it's easier on the rotors.

453
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:58,480
Speaker 1: You're probably going through, you know, five sets of pads

454
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:02,200
Speaker 1: to one pair of rotors. You know, the rotor replacement

455
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:06,200
Speaker 1: factor is down, so that's something to be considered. But

456
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:08,920
Speaker 1: you know, this is this is the price of being

457
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:11,000
Speaker 1: in the neighborhood you guys are playing in, if you

458
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:12,919
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, Yeah, I guess. So you know,

459
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:17,120
Speaker 1: I thought I thought that the before he crashed out

460
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:19,959
Speaker 1: the first one. Um, I was just going along the

461
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:22,359
Speaker 1: lines of it. Maybe it has a residual valve and

462
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:27,399
Speaker 1: it and it's malfunctioning, And I got a offline, I

463
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:31,359
Speaker 1: got a manual for the thing, and I was in

464
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:34,680
Speaker 1: the process of tracing everything back. I cannot find a

465
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:37,439
Speaker 1: residual but and then he crashed it. But then the

466
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:40,560
Speaker 1: new car has the exact same problem. So it's back

467
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:43,359
Speaker 1: to thinking, is is he heating up the fluid to

468
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:45,920
Speaker 1: a point where it's causing these residual valves to stick

469
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:51,000
Speaker 1: or something like that. And it's somehow making fifty pounds

470
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:52,720
Speaker 1: on he is he heating up the fluid to the

471
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:54,800
Speaker 1: point of boiling point that, But you're not telling me

472
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:57,000
Speaker 1: he's got brake fade. You're not telling me the brakes

473
00:24:57,119 --> 00:25:01,520
Speaker 1: feel bad. You're just telling me he's wearing the brakes out. Absolutely,

474
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:04,560
Speaker 1: it's a stick car. The best sentiments is third grade.

475
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:06,760
Speaker 1: I know he doesn't ride the brakes and it's a

476
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:08,359
Speaker 1: manual car. I'd be pretty hard to do that and

477
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:11,399
Speaker 1: think of it like this. Here's the best part. You

478
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:13,320
Speaker 1: now have legitimate reason to go out and buy new

479
00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:17,680
Speaker 1: tools or more tools or extra tools. That that's true.

480
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:20,560
Speaker 1: You got to look at the bright spot. If if, if,

481
00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:22,400
Speaker 1: if there's a woman in your life. You can sit

482
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:25,040
Speaker 1: there and go but honey, I need to buy this.

483
00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:27,520
Speaker 1: And you know the other side of it is, have

484
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:32,320
Speaker 1: you done any temperature measurement? Do you have a heat doune? Okay,

485
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:37,040
Speaker 1: you need more tools, but uh yeah, I know, I know.

486
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:39,680
Speaker 1: We've never run across this problem. For the good thing

487
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:41,920
Speaker 1: is because his car, he and he has the money

488
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 1: I don't. He'll he'll buy the tools that I get

489
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:49,080
Speaker 1: to play with him. Go buy go, buy a thermal imager. Yeah,

490
00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:51,639
Speaker 1: you know, go buy a thermal imaging idea. And you

491
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:53,520
Speaker 1: know what, take the car out for a moderate trip

492
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:56,879
Speaker 1: once around the track, and when it rolls in, shoot

493
00:25:56,960 --> 00:26:00,119
Speaker 1: shoot the four rotors, and you know, do we have

494
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:03,320
Speaker 1: equal heat all the way around. It's it's maybe a

495
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:07,359
Speaker 1: cheap man's pressure measurement, but it might tell you something. Uh,

496
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:09,480
Speaker 1: you know, but that he had an alpha romeo and

497
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:12,320
Speaker 1: that would come off the track with him glowing red.

498
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:15,320
Speaker 1: Yet he did not go through the breaks the last

499
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:19,119
Speaker 1: all summer um, so you know that was always a

500
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:21,399
Speaker 1: scratch the head thing too. You know, well it's you know,

501
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:23,879
Speaker 1: it's it's and I don't know that we want to

502
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:25,240
Speaker 1: figure it out. We just wanted to know how to

503
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:28,760
Speaker 1: make it stop. No pun intended, so to speak, you know.

504
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:31,600
Speaker 1: And and and perhaps it's that the fronts are doing

505
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:36,480
Speaker 1: more work than the backs, and you know, he heat.

506
00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:39,800
Speaker 1: A heat gun will tell us that, all right, A

507
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:41,520
Speaker 1: heat gun will tell us that. So you just need

508
00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:43,320
Speaker 1: to go buy more tools. That's what it comes down to,

509
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:46,320
Speaker 1: all right, kiddo. Okay, great, thank you so much. Time.

510
00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:48,040
Speaker 1: You're welcome, Paul. You have a good rist of the weekend.

511
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:51,680
Speaker 1: Zero run in any of the Car Doctor coming back

512
00:26:51,840 --> 00:27:06,679
Speaker 1: right after this. And now because my digital link let go,

513
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:10,280
Speaker 1: We're going to bring Ron back in and hopefully Ron

514
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 1: I can get through a call on the air as

515
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 1: soon as I can reconnect. Hey, I'm here, Tom. We

516
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:19,199
Speaker 1: were ready to go now you you already, but I

517
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 1: can't do it with the UH with a phone call

518
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 1: yet until I just click the button. Let's make sure

519
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:26,080
Speaker 1: I can reconnect to the studio. There we go. Okay,

520
00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:29,920
Speaker 1: now on the set we're live. Yes, great, it's great.

521
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:32,119
Speaker 1: Well this is live radio. People don't understand that this

522
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:34,760
Speaker 1: is uh, this is really live. So we're good to go. Tom.

523
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:36,639
Speaker 1: The the engines were warmed up and running. I can

524
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:38,760
Speaker 1: go to I can go to Brian and Philly. Brian

525
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:40,640
Speaker 1: and Philly. Let's see if you're out with the car Doctor, sir,

526
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:43,640
Speaker 1: How can I help Ron? How are you sir? Good sir.

527
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:46,560
Speaker 1: We're just dealing with technology and live radio right. It

528
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:48,760
Speaker 1: makes sure you know. It's like I always say to myself,

529
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:51,920
Speaker 1: I'm amazed at how water repair, radio shows and digital

530
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:53,840
Speaker 1: media and all this stuff works on a normal basis

531
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:55,440
Speaker 1: day to day. And there you go. There's an example

532
00:27:55,480 --> 00:28:00,880
Speaker 1: of it. So, um, what's going on? A Tom? Tom

533
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:03,480
Speaker 1: was pretty flawless. Out. Tom does really make it look easy,

534
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:05,560
Speaker 1: you know. It's uh, hey, listen, there's a there's a

535
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:07,919
Speaker 1: true story. We were. We were somewhere. I'll tell you.

536
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:09,760
Speaker 1: I'll tell you a story real quick. We were. We

537
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:12,480
Speaker 1: were um in a in an alternate studio going back. God,

538
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:15,119
Speaker 1: it's got to be going back seven eight years. And

539
00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 1: we sat down and we're ready to do the show.

540
00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:21,320
Speaker 1: And about thirty seconds to air, whatever light Tom was

541
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:23,000
Speaker 1: looking at to tell him that we were good to go,

542
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:28,040
Speaker 1: the light goes out. Tom, What does that mean? We're

543
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:29,760
Speaker 1: not on the air? What should I do? Sit down,

544
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:31,960
Speaker 1: shut up and start talking? And I did, and I

545
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:33,920
Speaker 1: think I think we missed the first two seconds. He

546
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:35,919
Speaker 1: got it all rigged back up and working. And uh,

547
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:38,120
Speaker 1: Tom's the best at what he does. I'm blessed to

548
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:39,920
Speaker 1: have him. So how can I help you in your

549
00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 1: fusion today? Sir? Well, I was talking to Tom. I

550
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:45,360
Speaker 1: asked if I can actually go a little off the

551
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:48,640
Speaker 1: record here, not off the record, but um, I was basically,

552
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:51,880
Speaker 1: um looking for I'm kind of looking around for something new,

553
00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 1: just just to putting it out there because the deals

554
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:56,720
Speaker 1: right now are really good. UM. I tend to check

555
00:28:56,760 --> 00:29:01,960
Speaker 1: out the Consumer Reports UM Auto Edition and they do

556
00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:05,400
Speaker 1: predicted reliability where they you know, they test cars and

557
00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 1: they look at things. But there I believe they're it's

558
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:13,360
Speaker 1: only surveyed of their members, and I just wanted your opinion.

559
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:16,600
Speaker 1: Are they pretty accurate of you know, when they say

560
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 1: a car is reliable or if if the car is

561
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:22,440
Speaker 1: has a troubled history. Some say they have a bias.

562
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:25,520
Speaker 1: I wanted to get your opinion because I value your opinion.

563
00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:29,880
Speaker 1: Thank you. You know, I stopped looking at Consumer Reports

564
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:34,600
Speaker 1: years ago because and I used to subscribe, and my

565
00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:37,080
Speaker 1: dad used to subscribe, and that's why I subscribe. But

566
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:39,760
Speaker 1: then I started to notice everything they said. Every car

567
00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:43,200
Speaker 1: they said was a problem, I disagreed with, and every

568
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:45,800
Speaker 1: car that they said was good I disagreed with. It

569
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:49,520
Speaker 1: was like, I'm like, I must live in an alternate universe. So,

570
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:52,560
Speaker 1: you know, does consumer reports have a use? I think

571
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:54,560
Speaker 1: in my household if we ran out of toilet paper.

572
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:56,080
Speaker 1: But other than that, I'm not really quite sure what

573
00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:57,680
Speaker 1: I would do with it because I just don't see

574
00:29:57,680 --> 00:30:01,800
Speaker 1: the value in reading it. I I you know, in

575
00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 1: the days of the pandemic. It's always handy to have around,

576
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:08,360
Speaker 1: but I think you are much better off going down

577
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:11,040
Speaker 1: and talking to your local mechanic. Hey does this work?

578
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:14,360
Speaker 1: Does that work? Uh? You know I still do that. Listen.

579
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:17,400
Speaker 1: I bought my wife's new Explorer. I went down to

580
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:19,800
Speaker 1: the local Ford dealer and I talked to him and

581
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:21,560
Speaker 1: I said, look, I want to buy a new Explorer.

582
00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:24,440
Speaker 1: What's good, what's bad? What's gonna break? And I think

583
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:27,080
Speaker 1: you have to have that attitude today because something's going

584
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:30,200
Speaker 1: to break on a new vehicle. Every vehicle, every vehicle.

585
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:34,040
Speaker 1: I don't care if it says Ferrari, Ford, GM, Chrysler, Toyota, Honda,

586
00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:36,400
Speaker 1: I don't care what it says on the side. Everything

587
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:39,719
Speaker 1: is gonna break. Everything has an issue. And you know,

588
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:42,520
Speaker 1: it's it's interesting because you know, I know people who

589
00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:45,400
Speaker 1: have Beamers and you know Mercedes. Whenever they have a problem,

590
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:47,760
Speaker 1: they don't say anything about it because they're embarrassed because

591
00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:49,880
Speaker 1: they say, oh, these cars expensive, it's a great car.

592
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:51,760
Speaker 1: But if there's ever a problem, I see them in

593
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:54,800
Speaker 1: a in a loaner car. I'm just getting something done,

594
00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:57,920
Speaker 1: and I'm like, hey, get something done, Like every month yeah,

595
00:30:58,000 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 1: but they treat you well. I said, well, you're paying

596
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:01,520
Speaker 1: a lot of money. Because I talked to you about

597
00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 1: German cars. You go v W virtually worthless b MW,

598
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:10,160
Speaker 1: Bavarian money waster. I realized they're very labor intensive to fix.

599
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 1: So I've kind of gotten, you know, um to stay

600
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:18,719
Speaker 1: away from those things for instance. Well, and you know what, Brian,

601
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 1: it's because, and I really believe this with all my heart,

602
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:25,440
Speaker 1: cars are a lifestyle. You know, when I was in

603
00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:27,440
Speaker 1: high school. Jeez, when I was in high school, I

604
00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:31,000
Speaker 1: paid eleven hundred all no, yeah, I think it was

605
00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:33,479
Speaker 1: like eleven hundred bucks right after high school for seventy

606
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:36,480
Speaker 1: two Monte Carlo, all right, and I drove that car

607
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:39,440
Speaker 1: through college. I put four hundred thousand miles on that car,

608
00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:42,160
Speaker 1: had that car for almost seven years what it used

609
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:46,720
Speaker 1: in seventy five And you know, think about that. I

610
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:50,280
Speaker 1: drove that car seven years, four hundred thousand miles. I

611
00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:52,440
Speaker 1: just saw it today. Vanderbrnk Auctions is gonna have an

612
00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:56,120
Speaker 1: auction July. They're auctioning off of seventy two Monte Carlo.

613
00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:58,800
Speaker 1: The last time I looked, the middle of the last week,

614
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:01,400
Speaker 1: the the online bidding already had it up to thirty

615
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 1: eight thousand dollars. You know, cars are a lifestyle. How

616
00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:10,200
Speaker 1: much lifestyle can you afford? You know, people go to Starbucks,

617
00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:12,040
Speaker 1: they buy an eight dollar a cup of Starbucks. They

618
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:13,520
Speaker 1: go down to Dunk and Donuts, they get a two

619
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:15,040
Speaker 1: dollar a cup of coffee. They go to the guy

620
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:16,600
Speaker 1: in the middle, they get a they get a fight,

621
00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:19,320
Speaker 1: all a cup of coffee. How much coffee can you afford?

622
00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:22,640
Speaker 1: It's a lifestyle thing. I don't care about that, you

623
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:23,720
Speaker 1: know what I mean. I don't you don't want to

624
00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:25,480
Speaker 1: buy a car. I don't want all the fancy options

625
00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:27,480
Speaker 1: they try to push. I mean, my Fusion is pretty

626
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:29,680
Speaker 1: Baseline's got everything I need. I don't get the leather.

627
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:33,040
Speaker 1: I'm not showing off. All these cars depreciate, as you said,

628
00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:36,000
Speaker 1: they all break eventually, right, don't you know? I mean cars?

629
00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:38,600
Speaker 1: To me, it's not an investments and expense. They all depreciate,

630
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:41,640
Speaker 1: and uh, like I said, I'm looking for you know,

631
00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:44,120
Speaker 1: I ums cars I like, but I'm not looking to

632
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:48,120
Speaker 1: show off best place. You know, the Fusion was. That's

633
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:49,680
Speaker 1: been a good car for him. I'll probably keep it

634
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:52,680
Speaker 1: a little longer, but I just you know, even if

635
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:54,480
Speaker 1: I had a lot of money, I just couldn't see

636
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:56,440
Speaker 1: dumping a lot of money and getting a hundred thousand

637
00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:58,520
Speaker 1: dollar car, right, So look at it like this, let

638
00:32:58,560 --> 00:32:59,800
Speaker 1: me let me say it like this. And then I

639
00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 1: got ago. But always good to talk to you, Brian.

640
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:04,040
Speaker 1: You called back any time. Um, you know what stop

641
00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:06,400
Speaker 1: at your local mechanic? Ay, what are they capable of

642
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:08,440
Speaker 1: working on? B What are they seen failing in the

643
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:11,080
Speaker 1: cars that they recommend? What goes wrong? And I think

644
00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:14,040
Speaker 1: that's the best buying guide versus anything that anybody's written.

645
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:15,760
Speaker 1: Because I agree it seems like a lot of the

646
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:19,120
Speaker 1: magazines have a slant. Appreciate the call. I'm running naming

647
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:28,960
Speaker 1: the car doctor. We're back right after this, welcome back.

648
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:30,560
Speaker 1: We're don't naming the car, docul Let's get over to

649
00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:35,880
Speaker 1: Dennis and Maine. Dennis, how can I help? Uh? Two

650
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:38,640
Speaker 1: or three months ago you mentioned something about New Jersey

651
00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:44,760
Speaker 1: had gone the up and all true. You know, I

652
00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:46,640
Speaker 1: don't remember making that comment, Dennis. You sure it was

653
00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:48,360
Speaker 1: a couple of months ago. Sure it wasn't longer than

654
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:54,640
Speaker 1: that time, flaws Well, probably might have been in January February. Okay, Um,

655
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:56,120
Speaker 1: I haven't. No, Yeah, you know what I think. As

656
00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:57,520
Speaker 1: a matter of fact, I think that well, I think

657
00:33:57,520 --> 00:34:00,440
Speaker 1: it's available. I don't know that it's exclusively. I sort

658
00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:02,680
Speaker 1: of remember the conversation we were talking about how there's

659
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:05,200
Speaker 1: only a few places around that you can get ethanol

660
00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:06,720
Speaker 1: free fuel from if you go out of your way

661
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:11,000
Speaker 1: to find it. What's your question, Well, I'm just wondering

662
00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:17,120
Speaker 1: a kind of effect that head on vehicles and New Jersey.

663
00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:19,759
Speaker 1: I haven't I have a two fifteen Chevy and that

664
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:24,040
Speaker 1: says don't use anything more than ten percund. And where

665
00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:27,440
Speaker 1: are you in Maine? Yes? And what are you finding

666
00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:35,080
Speaker 1: in Maine? Well, I know the governor has signed paperwork

667
00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:37,360
Speaker 1: saying that they're going to go to fifteen percent, but

668
00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:41,200
Speaker 1: not next January, right, And probably what you're going to

669
00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:44,080
Speaker 1: find is and I would inquire down at your Chevy

670
00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:46,440
Speaker 1: dealer when that happens, because I'm willing to bet General

671
00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:49,600
Speaker 1: Motors will have a software calibration change to comment to

672
00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:54,600
Speaker 1: accommodate and make it run on the fifteen. Because we

673
00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:57,520
Speaker 1: haven't seen any real problems down here, although ethanol has

674
00:34:57,560 --> 00:34:59,200
Speaker 1: been here in the state for a very long time.

675
00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:01,440
Speaker 1: I just think they've the dosage. I'm gonna have to

676
00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:03,080
Speaker 1: look this week. I'm gonna do a little research. You

677
00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:07,280
Speaker 1: kind of got my brain going now, but go ahead.

678
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:11,440
Speaker 1: Would you would you recommend putting any additive them No,

679
00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:15,399
Speaker 1: I don't think it's necessary. I think that, and right now,

680
00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:17,359
Speaker 1: in a vehicle that's running normal day to day where

681
00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:19,839
Speaker 1: it's not sitting, I don't worry about it so much

682
00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:22,680
Speaker 1: because I'll tell you this, it's it's going to be

683
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:25,520
Speaker 1: if you have a problem. You know, there's how many

684
00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:27,040
Speaker 1: people in the state of main Like, there's how many

685
00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:28,680
Speaker 1: people in the state of New Jersey. They're gonna have

686
00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:30,560
Speaker 1: a whole lot of problems from a whole lot of

687
00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:34,440
Speaker 1: people real quick. So it's good you're paying attention, Dennis.

688
00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:36,919
Speaker 1: I would do a little more research and find out.

689
00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:39,520
Speaker 1: I'm surprised to hear that no more than ten percent

690
00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:42,239
Speaker 1: in your particular vehicle, because I'm wondering what happens if

691
00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:43,839
Speaker 1: you travel and you go to a state where it's

692
00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:46,360
Speaker 1: always gonna be fifteen what would you do. I'm wondering

693
00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:49,319
Speaker 1: if that's a recommendation not necessarily a mandate. We'll have

694
00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:50,960
Speaker 1: to see. I'm on any of the car doctor until

695
00:35:51,000 --> 00:36:00,360
Speaker 1: the next time The mechanics aren't expensive, they're priceless, spo
