1
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:04,160
Speaker 1: Ronan, the genius that put the starter in. When he

2
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:07,880
Speaker 1: did the transmission left probably an eighth of an inch

3
00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:19,639
Speaker 1: or more gap at one of the start. The car

4
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:22,239
Speaker 1: Doctor put the starter in, Why doesn't it fit? It

5
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:24,480
Speaker 1: fit for me as soon as I took two bolts out,

6
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 1: which was the hardest part. Welcome to the radio home

7
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:32,280
Speaker 1: of Ronan the Car Doctor, since this is where car

8
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:35,960
Speaker 1: owners the world over turned to for their definitive opinion

9
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:39,920
Speaker 1: on automotive repair. If your mechanics giving you a busy signal,

10
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:43,280
Speaker 1: pick up the phone and call in the garage doors

11
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 1: are open, but I am here to take your call

12
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:49,479
Speaker 1: at eight five five five six. And now there's no

13
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 1: way this winter is ever going to end. As long

14
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 1: as this groundhog keeps seeing his shadow, he's got to

15
00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:02,279
Speaker 1: be stop he is running. It seems like I've done

16
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:05,560
Speaker 1: this before. Oh wait, that is groundhot day k Seal

17
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:08,119
Speaker 1: and the Saturn sounds like a name of a monster

18
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 1: movie from right, but true story. It really happened this

19
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 1: week in the shop, and I wanted to share it

20
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 1: with you because it's a real life example of what

21
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 1: goes on and and it's not just yes, Caseal fixed

22
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 1: the car and we'll talk about in a second. But

23
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 1: the drama, the stuff that happens behind the scenes that

24
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:27,959
Speaker 1: you don't see, and the decisions you have to make

25
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:29,959
Speaker 1: is a mechanic in a shop owner to keep the

26
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 1: customer happy, because that's part of what you're supposed to do, right,

27
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:34,679
Speaker 1: fix the car and keep everybody happy at the same time.

28
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:40,040
Speaker 1: And O five Saturn came in and you know, if

29
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,199
Speaker 1: it was on fire, you wouldn't put it out because

30
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 1: you'd be probably doing the owner of the car and

31
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 1: the environment a service to get this one off the road,

32
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 1: because it's just it's just tired. It's just a tired car.

33
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 1: You know. I've come to the conclusion thirty years ago,

34
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 1: and I'd say it's longer than that. What am I

35
00:01:57,680 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 1: sad date myself fifty years ago? When I was in

36
00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 1: the gas station somewhere on there, the worst car in

37
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 1: the world that you would ever want to see was

38
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:08,799
Speaker 1: an AMC because it always had some guy smoking a

39
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 1: pipe with a little bit of a beard, and he

40
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 1: was an engineer that had retired. And I can tell

41
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 1: you what wrong with my AMC. All the engineers drove AMC.

42
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 1: I don't know why. It was just like a weird

43
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 1: attraction to them, and you just kind of cringe when

44
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 1: an American motors product came in. You just knew that

45
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:23,959
Speaker 1: guy was gonna be you know, you know, he's gonna

46
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 1: tell you about his weird uncle Charlie with three legs

47
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 1: or something, and just nothing ever made any sense that

48
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 1: came out of his mouth. They were those kind of cars,

49
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 1: and that's kind of what happens with Saturns all right there.

50
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 1: Just I don't know, you know, I don't understand why

51
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,360
Speaker 1: Saturn people still have a Saturn. The company has gone

52
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 1: twelve going on thirteen years. They're obsolete. It's you know,

53
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 1: GM said we could get parts for you. Yeah, they

54
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 1: can get parts for you. Gotta wait three months to

55
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 1: get anything. But you know, it's they're done. The car's gone.

56
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 1: It's it's a piece of American history. Just you know,

57
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 1: you know, recycle it and it will become a blender

58
00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 1: by Tuesday. I mean, it's just it's over. So there's

59
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:02,640
Speaker 1: no five Saturn comes in. It's got a hundred and

60
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 1: fifty thousand hard miles on it. I mean, this thing

61
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:08,119
Speaker 1: looks looks like John Wayne and the seventh Cavalry took

62
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,360
Speaker 1: this thing to task. It's been road hard, put away wet,

63
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:15,920
Speaker 1: and it had a coolant leak. So I you know,

64
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:20,080
Speaker 1: I drew the straw and I'm looking at it, and yes,

65
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:23,239
Speaker 1: it's got a coolant leak. The lower radiator hose, which

66
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 1: is original, I should point out from night from two

67
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 1: thousand five, so it's a fifteen years old is seeping

68
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 1: coolant because it's gotten purse where the hose meets the

69
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 1: lower thermostatic nipple. If we can say that word on radio,

70
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 1: um uh right where it's clamped. And I gotta put

71
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 1: a hose on the car. How hard could this be?

72
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 1: It's gotta be easy, right, So we found a hose,

73
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 1: which even finding a radiator hose, you know, yeah, it's okay.

74
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 1: But you know, the first hose I got I actually

75
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 1: turned down because the first hose that I that that

76
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 1: came in was actually four years old by date code.

77
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 1: And I'm just I'm just stupid like that. I can't

78
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 1: use a four year old part on a car because

79
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 1: you know, and the hose is already getting rock hard.

80
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 1: And I've noticed that, you know, sometimes where the part

81
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:19,840
Speaker 1: sits in the warehouse effects its longevity. The hose showed up,

82
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 1: it was sort of rock hard already. Like you know,

83
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:24,839
Speaker 1: I don't want to buy a petrified hose. I want

84
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,480
Speaker 1: something made out of rubber. So I order a second hose.

85
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:29,280
Speaker 1: That showed up and that was nice. It was only

86
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 1: I think it was this last year sometime. So I

87
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 1: put the hose on and I looked at the old one.

88
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 1: I took the old one off. The old one, it

89
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 1: looked like it had been sitting in the bottom of

90
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:43,599
Speaker 1: the ocean. There was so much rust and crudd on

91
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 1: the inside. It was just it looked like a sewer

92
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 1: drain pipe. It really did. It was crazy. Okay, put

93
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,599
Speaker 1: the hose on. I put some cooling in it, which

94
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 1: you know, the cool and screaming. While I'm pouring it in,

95
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 1: I hear the cooling going. We're really not going to

96
00:04:58,120 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 1: protect this car. There's nothing we can do for this car.

97
00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 1: Just take us and put water in the car. Let

98
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 1: the water freeze, crack the block, and let the guy

99
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 1: jump the car. You don't want to spend money and

100
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 1: put coolingt in this car. It's not worth it. But

101
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 1: got to do the job right. So put I put

102
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 1: coolant in the car. Let the car warm off. The

103
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 1: fans clackles with burnt air. I let it sit overnight.

104
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 1: I burnt air. It's great, no more leaks, everything's good.

105
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:22,160
Speaker 1: Customer couldn't pick it up that day, so he said,

106
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 1: hang on to it one more day. He says, you know,

107
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:26,600
Speaker 1: I appreciate the way you're doing, you know, giving a TLC.

108
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:28,279
Speaker 1: And I said, sure, you know, that's part of what

109
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:31,160
Speaker 1: we're supposed to do. Um, you know, and just I'll

110
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 1: come by it sometime the next day and pick it up.

111
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 1: So I, okay, you know you have to read the universe,

112
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 1: all right. It's it's kind of like when you're driving

113
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:44,160
Speaker 1: down the road and you see the rabbit run out

114
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:47,719
Speaker 1: in front of the car. If you're smart, you'll slow

115
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,720
Speaker 1: down a little bit because sometimes something's chasing the rabbit

116
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,160
Speaker 1: and you're gonna hit it, all right, and then you

117
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 1: end up with a big net in your car and

118
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 1: you know you're you're having you're having wolf for dinner.

119
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 1: So I started to slow down that day and I

120
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 1: started thinking about it. Why don't I still have this car?

121
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:06,919
Speaker 1: This car is fixed, it's it's a hose. I should

122
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 1: get rid of this car. This car should go, you

123
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 1: know what. I'm going to start it in the morning

124
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:15,359
Speaker 1: and just see what happens. And I pulled it up

125
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 1: behind one of the doors and I started. Now before

126
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:21,720
Speaker 1: when I ran it and pressure tested it, the drip

127
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,920
Speaker 1: was on the driver's side. I didn't have a drip

128
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 1: on the driver's side. The drip was on the passenger side.

129
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:34,920
Speaker 1: After ten minutes, all of a sudden, drip, drip, drip.

130
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:38,599
Speaker 1: And I'm looking and I'm like, wait a minute, didn't

131
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,599
Speaker 1: we fix this. I go out and I lift the hood,

132
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 1: and I should point out this young man And this

133
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:45,920
Speaker 1: is part of the reason why I'm still working on

134
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 1: this car. You know, he's struggling in life. This is

135
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 1: his only means of transportation. He's trying to get back

136
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:55,120
Speaker 1: and forth to work. He's trying to improve himself. And

137
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:57,039
Speaker 1: now I gotta tell me he needs a radiator. He

138
00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 1: needs to put a radiator in this car. That I've

139
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 1: got a pen in my pocket that's worth more money

140
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 1: than this radiat than this car. Never mind the radiator. Right,

141
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:09,559
Speaker 1: k Seal to the rescue. And this is this isn't

142
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 1: where you always use k seal, but this is one

143
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 1: of the real feel good you know, home run. You

144
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 1: know the reason why k seal exists in my mind episodes,

145
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 1: poured in a bottle of k seal, followed the directions,

146
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 1: took out some of the cooling which the cooler was going,

147
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 1: Oh thank god, we're rescued, and poured in the bottle

148
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 1: of k seal, and started the car up rand it.

149
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 1: Ten minutes later the league stopped. None more infro caseal

150
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 1: dot com. You know what do you do? Do you

151
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:42,120
Speaker 1: call the guy up and say, hey, you need a radiator?

152
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 1: You know, a radiator. The average radiator is what two

153
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 1: to fifty an hour or two hours later? A radiator

154
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 1: is five hours today on just about everything. And that's

155
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 1: on something simple. All right, wait, wait till you get

156
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 1: to the cars. I don't know. Go look at the

157
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 1: video on the Facebook page where I put that we

158
00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 1: put the radiator in the Toyota CNA. The thing looks like,

159
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 1: you know, it looks like we're assembling the Queen Mary.

160
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 1: We took it apart down to nothing and had to

161
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 1: put it all back together, all the nuts and bolts.

162
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 1: You know. The point becomes that, And I guess, I

163
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 1: guess this is part of of of just caring about people,

164
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 1: because at the end of the day, I think that's

165
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 1: what we're supposed to do. You know, part of the

166
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 1: job of a mechanic I've come to learn over the

167
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 1: over the time period is, you know, we have to

168
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 1: mentor the next generation, especially a younger person. And I

169
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 1: explained it to Mike. It was his name. I explained

170
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 1: it to Mike. Hey, Mike, here's what happened. Here's what

171
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 1: I did. But you know, I can't tell you the

172
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:37,120
Speaker 1: longevity of the car, not because of the cooling system repair,

173
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 1: but because of the rust that was in the cooling system,

174
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 1: because of the creeks and the moans and the groans,

175
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 1: and there's nothing unsafe about the car, but at some point,

176
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 1: reliability is going to be compromised. And at some point

177
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 1: he's gonna be dressed up in his best business suit,

178
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:54,440
Speaker 1: getting ready to go to a job interview, and he's

179
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 1: gonna be late, and it's gonna it's gonna you know,

180
00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:00,599
Speaker 1: as silly as it sounds, you know, it's like the

181
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 1: dip in the road, right, the little things count. The

182
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:08,680
Speaker 1: little things count. Cars are a lifestyle, they really are,

183
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 1: and you've just got to be prepared that if that

184
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 1: lifestyle gets bumped, that you're ready to take that dip

185
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 1: and deal with the problem. So just hopefully there's a

186
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 1: bottle of case seal around the corner for you. True story.

187
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:25,200
Speaker 1: You know, what do you do with that? It felt

188
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 1: good though to see that car go, you know the

189
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 1: best part of that job with the tail lights leaving

190
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 1: the shop zero zero zero. The car doctors coming back

191
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 1: right after this need advice on how they're maintaining that

192
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 1: classic g t O. Ron is the guy five five

193
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 1: five zero nine zero zero. Here's Ron. Let's get over

194
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,200
Speaker 1: to Elliott and Texas twelve Chevy Silverado. Elliott, thank you

195
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 1: for calling the car doctor. How can I help? All right?

196
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 1: Thank you for taking my call. Have a two thousand

197
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 1: twelves Silverado hundred uh four wheel drive, but the five

198
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 1: point three leader engine in it, um have about ninety

199
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 1: almost nine thousand miles on it. That's kind of that's

200
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 1: kind of like a Texas Cadillac, isn't it. Yeah, that's right.

201
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 1: So that's what's cool. And you know what the neat

202
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 1: thing about Texas is, it's so darn big. Um. You

203
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 1: could have a couple of those and nobody would notice.

204
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 1: So everything's bigger in Texas. Brother, so so thousand miles

205
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 1: and what's going on with it? Um? It's starting to

206
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 1: idle somewhat rough. It was pretty sporadic at first, and

207
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 1: I would say in the last five thousand miles or so,

208
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 1: it's gotten more consistent to where um it's idling right now,

209
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:55,439
Speaker 1: and the closer that needle gets to five RPMs, the

210
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:59,000
Speaker 1: referee idols um. Do you have any sort of a

211
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:04,199
Speaker 1: scan tool? Not? Okay. The reason I asked that is

212
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 1: it's just it's it's it's a good graphic demonstration to

213
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 1: you know, after we do what we're gonna do here,

214
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:13,440
Speaker 1: to just watch the numbers to see if there's a change.

215
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 1: And it also, you know, it's if the doctor told

216
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 1: you to start losing weight, you'd get on the scale

217
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:21,440
Speaker 1: first and then go on the diet right and just

218
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 1: to see how much you're losing. So one of the

219
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:26,600
Speaker 1: biggest key parameters for those of you out there that

220
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 1: have a scan tool, and maybe Elliot'll go grab one

221
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,959
Speaker 1: after this, is I like looking at fuel trim. Fuel

222
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:34,199
Speaker 1: trim to me is is just you know, every day

223
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:36,080
Speaker 1: I go to sleep at night, when I say my

224
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 1: prayers and thank the Big Guy for everything, I always

225
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 1: give him a ps for fuel trim because it just

226
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 1: tells me a lot. Fuel trim is a measurement. It

227
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 1: takes us back to the high school geometry and and

228
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 1: and and algebra days with the timeline with the with

229
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 1: the number line and zero zero is a balanced fuel mixture.

230
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:56,319
Speaker 1: And you know, the positive numbers is adding fuel and

231
00:11:56,320 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 1: the negative numbers are taken away fuel. So the modern automobile,

232
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:04,319
Speaker 1: anything in the last twenty five years with with fuel

233
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 1: trim parameters like this, you know, we'll typically see a

234
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:10,840
Speaker 1: short term number somewhere between you know, an idle if

235
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 1: we're gonna judge it, you know, zero plus or minus

236
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:19,319
Speaker 1: five percent seven and long term roughly the same. Where

237
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 1: we get into trouble, where we start to set fault

238
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 1: codes is when total combined fuel trim on the average

239
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 1: car today exceeds as a as a fair number. Some

240
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 1: cars are a little tighter window, but for the most

241
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 1: part that's them. What what I'd like you to do

242
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:36,079
Speaker 1: as far as maintenance at this point maintenance and for

243
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 1: the ref inal is first go through and do all

244
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:41,200
Speaker 1: the fluids. Not that that's going to help the refinal,

245
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 1: but it's just part of maintenance. So the rule is

246
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 1: if it's wet, change it break coolant trans difs you know,

247
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:51,560
Speaker 1: you name it transfer case if it hasn't been done,

248
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 1: and it hasn't been done recently, Now is the moment,

249
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:58,440
Speaker 1: all right? And then as far as the engine, obviously,

250
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:00,320
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you, spark plugs you're a great place

251
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 1: to start. Um. Spark plugs do last a good long

252
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:07,319
Speaker 1: time in the modern vehicle, and they really do. They

253
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:11,080
Speaker 1: last so long sometimes we forget to change them. You know,

254
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 1: I see cars out there with a two D thousand

255
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 1: miles on original plugs, but I usually see those cars

256
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:19,840
Speaker 1: somewhere along the way also have some sort of an

257
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 1: issue that could have been prevented, or they're suffering in

258
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:26,440
Speaker 1: fuel economy or idol or something. You know what I'm saying.

259
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 1: It's it's it's sort of like smoking past the age

260
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 1: of eighteen. They say it's not good for you, but

261
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:33,080
Speaker 1: we keep doing it, and you know, somewhere along the

262
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:38,400
Speaker 1: way we'll pay the price. Um. So, what I really

263
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 1: want to see, and the other reason I want to

264
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 1: scan tool is because what I really want to see

265
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:48,439
Speaker 1: is is it a rough Vidal? By human sensation? Is

266
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 1: Elliott just getting a sense of a rough Vidal? And

267
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 1: it's not as smooth as it once was or is

268
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 1: there something pending in the way of a fault code

269
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 1: that's about the kick up its head, right, Okay, you

270
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 1: know this is the old story about you've you've gotten

271
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 1: sick once or twice in your life, Elliott, Yeah, yeah,

272
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 1: you know, and you you you you wake up on Monday,

273
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 1: as I suspect many people will wake up this Monday

274
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 1: and they'll be sick, and I can't go to work today.

275
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:24,280
Speaker 1: And you know, Monday, you sort of feel crumbing your back,

276
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 1: your throats a little scratchy, but it's not really a

277
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 1: sore throat, it's not really a cold yet. But by Wednesday,

278
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 1: the alarm goes off, your check engine lights litt and

279
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 1: you're going sick, sick, sick, same thing. You know. It's

280
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:38,600
Speaker 1: do you do you have the beginnings of something? Although

281
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 1: I will say this, you did say for the last

282
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:46,560
Speaker 1: five thousand miles it's been getting rougher. Uh, maybe not rougher,

283
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 1: but just more consistently having a rough idal. Initially it

284
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 1: was just very sporadic, but now it's definitely it's more consistent.

285
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 1: You know, the modern car is so darned smart. If

286
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 1: if it had a fault as of yesterday, it would

287
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 1: have picked it up and turned the light on today.

288
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 1: So there's not there's not many scenarios where we're gonna

289
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 1: go five thousand miles as it gradually getting it just

290
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 1: doesn't take that long. You know, the computer will see

291
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:18,080
Speaker 1: it as a fault or not, usually very quickly, and

292
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:20,400
Speaker 1: they run very tight parameters on a lot of things

293
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 1: simply because they're worried about emissions, and you know whether

294
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 1: or not the car is going to be in compliance

295
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 1: and pollute the air. So if it's wet, change it,

296
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 1: if you know, if it hasn't been done in a while,

297
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:35,880
Speaker 1: rotate the tires, take a look at the brakes, look

298
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 1: over the suspension, kick some of the Texas dust out

299
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 1: of it. And then the thing I want you to

300
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:44,360
Speaker 1: pay the most attention to is fuel system maintenance. Some

301
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 1: form of fuel some form of a fuel system cleaning.

302
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 1: All right, we use it all the time in the shop.

303
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:52,600
Speaker 1: If you get out the Barriman Products dot Com, take

304
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:55,360
Speaker 1: a look at the stuff from Berriman, their pooring solutions,

305
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 1: their oil rejuvenators. They've got a top end engine cleaner

306
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 1: that we're having great success with filling cylinders with with

307
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 1: and then doing a carbon cleaning cranking it over, slow,

308
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 1: filling the cylinder, opening the valves. If if this was

309
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 1: a g d I engine, which I don't think. This

310
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 1: is in twelve so I think an old fashioned carbon

311
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:17,920
Speaker 1: cleaning will help it. But but carbon is the enemy,

312
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 1: and it starts showing up on cars early as twenty

313
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:24,840
Speaker 1: thousand miles. I've seen. I've seen pictures and videos and

314
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 1: poor scope snapshots, so you know, you want to take

315
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 1: a look at that last thing. And this is this

316
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 1: goes back to the first part of the conversation where

317
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 1: I said, is this something Elliott is sensing or is

318
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:41,720
Speaker 1: it real? Um? Is it real? Do I have a

319
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 1: motor mount that's getting a little rock hard and the

320
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 1: vehicle doesn't have that. You know, the rubber is a

321
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 1: little tired, it's eight years old. It's Texas heat, right,

322
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 1: I'm sure it's hot where you are in Texas most

323
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 1: of the year, is it. Yeah, you know all of

324
00:16:56,320 --> 00:17:00,360
Speaker 1: that has an effect on rubber. And you know, an

325
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 1: engine mount, besides trying to keep the engine attached to

326
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:07,440
Speaker 1: the frame, it's there to insulate the the passenger compartment

327
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 1: from the vibrations of the engine. So you know, you

328
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:14,680
Speaker 1: start to look at that stuff too. Never never rule

329
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:19,800
Speaker 1: that out. Okay, all right, Um, and then if you

330
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 1: have if you have a shop that's up to date,

331
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:23,879
Speaker 1: just because it's a hundred thousand miles, we want to

332
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:27,200
Speaker 1: do some maintenance. It wouldn't hurt if you go out

333
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:29,879
Speaker 1: to Let me think for a second, Um, is it

334
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 1: VINCL No, it's uh. I'll have to look it up

335
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 1: and I'll put it up on air. I think it's

336
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 1: vin cal dot com where you can take your vin

337
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:42,680
Speaker 1: plug it in. It's a GM website and it will

338
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:47,119
Speaker 1: tell you what if any software updates the vehicles do

339
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 1: for all right, And you know, any sort of maintenance

340
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 1: on the large order, you know, a hundred thousand miles

341
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:57,639
Speaker 1: like you're doing here in ninety miles, has to include

342
00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:01,200
Speaker 1: the possibility of software updates. Just just just very important.

343
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 1: It's just like service hang and tuning up your your

344
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:07,440
Speaker 1: your home computer. Uh, software updates become a big part

345
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 1: of it. Do that, Elliot, You got any questions, give

346

00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:50,640
Speaker 1: a name of the Car Doctor. Now, I just want

354
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 1: to tell everybody I didn't do this, but you know,

355
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:55,960
Speaker 1: we talk a lot about technology here on The Car

356
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:58,639
Speaker 1: Doctor and as a result of some technology change as well,

357
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:01,359
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna let the the the chief cook

358
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:04,960
Speaker 1: and head engineer for The Car Doctor radio show, explain this. Tom.

359
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:10,200
Speaker 1: What's going on? Um, Well, we are changing podcast providers. Well,

360
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:12,719
Speaker 1: we know why that we're doing that because, yeah, we

361
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:14,760
Speaker 1: were having having problems over the last couple of weeks

362
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:17,080
Speaker 1: with five hour versions of The Car Doctors showing up

363
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:20,640
Speaker 1: as a podcast, which they were not able to rectify.

364
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:25,359
Speaker 1: So we've changed providers. The unfortunate part of that, uh,

365
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 1: is that our live stream will be going away as

366
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:29,680
Speaker 1: of today. I think today's the last day for then

367
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:31,920
Speaker 1: they will be the last day and then bye bye

368
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:35,680
Speaker 1: after the show. But the people that are streaming that,

369
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:38,119
Speaker 1: you know, and we looked at the number isn't huge.

370
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 1: It's not a huge number that people. Yeah, it's not.

371
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 1: It's not because the affiliation has gotten so much better

372
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:49,360
Speaker 1: over the last eight years that those people that stream

373
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:51,959
Speaker 1: will then have the they can just podcast it right

374
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 1: into the podcast. We usually have the podcast up. Oh

375
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 1: we get off the air at four o'clock Eastern. They're

376
00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:00,119
Speaker 1: usually up by four or thirty five, give or takes. Oh,

377
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:03,359
Speaker 1: it's not like forever. I mean, they're they're right there,

378
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:07,920
Speaker 1: so uh and um, we think the podcast delivery will

379
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 1: be a lot better, right well, yeah, definitely, judging by

380
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:13,719
Speaker 1: the new by the new platform and talking with them

381
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 1: and they're help people were there right there, and you know,

382
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:18,480
Speaker 1: I did the whole thing behind the scenes very slickly.

383
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:21,479
Speaker 1: But and again we apologize listening. We're sorry the streams

384
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 1: going away, but you know, we've got to do what

385
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:25,439
Speaker 1: we think is best for the majority and and and

386
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:28,200
Speaker 1: try and keep moving ourselves forward because it's at the

387
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:30,480
Speaker 1: end of the day, like all to repair this as

388
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 1: a business, and we have to make some business decisions

389
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:35,480
Speaker 1: that just lead us to this point. And if you know,

390
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 1: if we had we had several hundred people listening on

391
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:39,520
Speaker 1: the stream, that would be another story. It would make

392
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:42,359
Speaker 1: a business case to go ahead and and come up

393
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:46,919
Speaker 1: with the life another live streaming service but unfortunately doesn't. Right,

394
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:49,639
Speaker 1: And like you said, it's a business. Well, and you

395
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:52,160
Speaker 1: know the back story, Can I tell everybody the backstory

396
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 1: where the live stream came from. So the backstory is,

397
00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:59,919
Speaker 1: and it's it's it's kind of cute in a way. Um,

398
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:03,960
Speaker 1: we really created the live stream from my mom right. Um,

399
00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:07,040
Speaker 1: she couldn't understand because where we lived in New York

400
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:10,399
Speaker 1: at the time, there wasn't an affiliate that carried the show.

401
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:12,680
Speaker 1: So I went out and I bought my mother on

402
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:15,680
Speaker 1: internet radio, which she didn't understand what that was to

403
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 1: at her age at that point. This is going back.

404
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 1: She's gone now a year or so, and um, we

405
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:22,840
Speaker 1: created the stream. This is eight years ago. So we

406
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 1: put up on the stream. So now she'd have to

407
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:27,399
Speaker 1: do is right, And this is why I think, you know,

408
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:30,040
Speaker 1: it's gonna be hard for this current, the older generation.

409
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:32,280
Speaker 1: But Mom understood it. She could get up to a radio.

410
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 1: She woke over the radio, pushed the button and there

411
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:37,560
Speaker 1: I was and to her, I was on radio, and

412
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:40,119
Speaker 1: she she understood that and that just that made Mom happy.

413
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:44,000
Speaker 1: So unfortunately, it's it's we're gonna take moms stream way. Well,

414
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 1: we tried an experiment when we when we started that

415
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:50,400
Speaker 1: and we actually were hosting it here at the studio.

416
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:53,640
Speaker 1: And the problem with that is anybody who's dealt who's

417
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:55,639
Speaker 1: dealt with computers or I T work knows that you're

418
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:59,639
Speaker 1: now inviting people in through your firewall, right and that

419
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:02,080
Speaker 1: could your recipe for disaster. And then of course that

420
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:04,800
Speaker 1: affects the band with and and we actually get to

421
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:08,920
Speaker 1: the satellite uplink over the internet, and we wait all

422
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:12,479
Speaker 1: this and said, he it's right now. It's when we

423
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:14,679
Speaker 1: when we had the ability to actually go to a

424
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:17,240
Speaker 1: server and just have one stream going out to the server,

425
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:20,719
Speaker 1: secure connection. That was great. And that's unfortunately going away.

426
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:23,239
Speaker 1: But at some point we may bring it back, and

427
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:24,879
Speaker 1: we may and well and we'll consider it, but we

428
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 1: just want everybody to know. We know we're talking about

429
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:28,480
Speaker 1: this and kind of beating at the death, but we

430
00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:31,480
Speaker 1: want you know what it wasn't it's not for any

431
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:35,000
Speaker 1: other reason other than from a business perspective and because

432
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:38,680
Speaker 1: technology is changing, and because the podcast provider changed that

433
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:40,879
Speaker 1: the stream is going to go away effective today. But

434
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:45,119
Speaker 1: you can still take the show via podcast and you know,

435
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:47,320
Speaker 1: pretty soon you might have an affiliate in your backyard.

436
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:49,800
Speaker 1: If it's not there yet because the affiliates are just

437
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:52,480
Speaker 1: growing leap. The nice thing about the change of the podcasting,

438
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:55,440
Speaker 1: it's pretty much transparent to all of our listeners. Nobody

439
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:58,160
Speaker 1: will notice it right that. You don't have to reset anything,

440
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 1: just keep doing what you're doing. So okay, thanks Tom.

441
00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:03,320
Speaker 1: Let's let's get back to the business at hand. Let's

442
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:07,040
Speaker 1: go over and talk to Joseph and Kansas, Kansas. You

443
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:09,119
Speaker 1: get tired talking up here on radio some days. Nine

444
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:13,600
Speaker 1: mecury sable. What's the update here, Joseph? Well, uh, found

445
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 1: out it was the field pump and the field tank

446
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:20,680
Speaker 1: rusting from the inside out, so it clogged it up. Yep,

447
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:25,480
Speaker 1: pretty much. I had that happen. Gosh, it's gotta be.

448
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:28,399
Speaker 1: I haven't thought about Ernie Clashka and his Volvo in

449
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 1: a long time, but one of my very first customers

450
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:35,359
Speaker 1: over thirty five years ago brought me an eighty one

451
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:40,119
Speaker 1: eighty two Volvo station wagon. Remember the old square body

452
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:45,880
Speaker 1: Volvo station wagons the two forties. Oh I love those things.

453
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:48,800
Speaker 1: Oh yeah. You know, Ernie was the local plumber here

454
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:51,800
Speaker 1: in town, and he you know, had the car. He

455
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:53,680
Speaker 1: ran it around for a while, his wife and kids

456
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:55,240
Speaker 1: and then they let it sit and it's sad for

457
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:59,880
Speaker 1: the better part of two years. And he parked it empty.

458
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:01,840
Speaker 1: I remember this. He parked it empty because he didn't

459
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:04,400
Speaker 1: want the fuel to go bad. And then and then

460
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:06,439
Speaker 1: he filled it up and the car ran okay for

461
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:08,720
Speaker 1: a couple of days, and and then it just died

462
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:11,480
Speaker 1: and it got it got towed into the shop, and

463
00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:13,879
Speaker 1: I looked at it and I kind of went through it.

464
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:17,480
Speaker 1: And part of the problem was the fuel injection units

465
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:20,280
Speaker 1: on that car. That was an early Volvo fuel injection unit.

466
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 1: Mechanical fuel injection. Yeah, the Bosch kget tronic stuff. Um,

467
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:31,639
Speaker 1: I believe it was kget Tronic. I think that was

468
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 1: the name for it. It was at C I S A.

469
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:38,159
Speaker 1: But regardless, and it just had so many filters on it.

470
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:42,239
Speaker 1: They were so dirt sensitive. So I cracked open the

471
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:44,359
Speaker 1: line up at the front, took a fuel sample. The

472
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:49,479
Speaker 1: fuel was clean. You know, it had good pressure. Okay,

473
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:52,440
Speaker 1: I started looking elsewhere. Why won't this car run? Well,

474
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:55,800
Speaker 1: long story short, at the end of the day, I said, well,

475
00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:57,720
Speaker 1: it's got pressure. And then this is where I learned that.

476
00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:00,159
Speaker 1: This is where I learned the power of volume and

477
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:02,960
Speaker 1: take a fuel sample right at the tank. So I

478
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:05,879
Speaker 1: went past the connection in the front, I went to

479
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:09,000
Speaker 1: the midpoint, was starting to get a little schmutze. I

480
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:11,879
Speaker 1: went right to the tank and I got solid, rust

481
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:14,800
Speaker 1: colored fuel out of the bottom of the tank, and

482
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:17,440
Speaker 1: I went wow. I took We drained it all out,

483
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:20,679
Speaker 1: pulled the tank down. The entire inside layer of the

484
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:22,960
Speaker 1: tank was rusted because it was a steel fuel tank

485
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:26,719
Speaker 1: in those days, and and you know, it needed and

486
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:30,680
Speaker 1: you know what, unbelievably he uh he fixed it. He

487
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:33,280
Speaker 1: put a remember, we put a new fuel tank in it.

488
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 1: We flushed the system, clean it up. I think we

489
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:37,879
Speaker 1: had a change. Uh some component of the fuel system

490
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 1: that was that was bad. I think the distribution block

491
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:43,960
Speaker 1: up front. And um, the car ran another four or

492
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:47,920
Speaker 1: five years. It was crazy. So you were talking about

493
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 1: the podcast things. I know, I'm getting off onto a

494
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 1: tangent here, but as it's still going to be available

495
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:57,680
Speaker 1: on I heard, ye. Absolutely, none of that's changed, none

496
00:25:57,680 --> 00:25:59,680
Speaker 1: of that's none of that's changed. We did everything behind

497
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:02,120
Speaker 1: the scene means, uh, you know, so that you guys

498
00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:05,200
Speaker 1: wouldn't see it, uh, you know, and we didn't want

499
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:06,240
Speaker 1: to do it, you know, we didn't want to go

500
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 1: through the mechanics of it per se, because it's the

501
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:09,479
Speaker 1: pain in the neck. It's a lot of work. And

502
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:13,720
Speaker 1: the fact is that the provider we were using and

503
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:16,520
Speaker 1: this started. Everybody out there is podcasting. This started three

504
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 1: weeks ago. Four weeks ago you started getting five hour podcast.

505
00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:22,239
Speaker 1: They were taking the live stream and archiving it. So

506
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:24,399
Speaker 1: we did our due diligence. We emailed them, Hey, how

507
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:26,080
Speaker 1: do we get this to stop? You know, how do

508
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 1: we get this to change? We didn't do anything. It

509
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:31,040
Speaker 1: just happened all by itself, and lo and behold, we

510
00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:33,919
Speaker 1: never heard from anybody. And then we finally then we

511
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:37,200
Speaker 1: finally heard from somebody, and it was our full we

512
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:39,359
Speaker 1: were doing something wrong. We're like, we didn't do anything wrong.

513
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:41,080
Speaker 1: We didn't. We didn't, you know, we didn't. We went

514
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:42,720
Speaker 1: to bed one night and woke up the next day

515
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:46,120
Speaker 1: and it was doing this and they were gonna look

516
00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:50,040
Speaker 1: for a higher authority. I think they're still looking because um,

517
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:51,840
Speaker 1: we still never heard back from them. We only heard

518
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 1: from them once, maybe twice. And it was funny, yesterday

519
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:56,720
Speaker 1: they actually sent me out a survey. The robots sent

520
00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:58,840
Speaker 1: out a survey. Wanted to know how satisfied I was

521
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:01,480
Speaker 1: with customers pervious. Well, let me tell you, come on Monday,

522
00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:04,719
Speaker 1: somebody's not gonna be happy because that was very That

523
00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 1: wasn't a very popular review, trust me. Um, you know

524
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:12,720
Speaker 1: it's listen, the backside of the business of radio is

525
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:14,439
Speaker 1: no different than the back side of the business of

526
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:18,919
Speaker 1: auto repair. You've gotta make people happy. You've you've you know,

527
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:21,240
Speaker 1: someone once said to me, how do I manage to

528
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:24,600
Speaker 1: be so calm and deliberate and and you know, try

529
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:26,879
Speaker 1: and just speak to everybody and not lose my cool

530
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:28,800
Speaker 1: with some of the questions that come in and some

531
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:31,200
Speaker 1: of the comments. And you know, part of my answer

532
00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:34,320
Speaker 1: is really centered around the fact that if people knew

533
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:37,120
Speaker 1: what they were doing, they wouldn't be calling me. And

534
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:40,040
Speaker 1: I'm supposed to be able to explain it. I have

535
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:42,120
Speaker 1: to be you know, somebody's got to be the voice

536
00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:45,840
Speaker 1: in the wilderness. And you know, some people just you know,

537
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:48,880
Speaker 1: just want another set of ideas. How it's it's not

538
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:52,360
Speaker 1: for lack of knowledge or you know, or ignorance. It's

539
00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:55,120
Speaker 1: some people just don't work. They're just looking for answers.

540
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:58,080
Speaker 1: You've gotta be calm, You've gotta help people. That's what

541
00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:00,480
Speaker 1: it's about. The same thing with the podcast business. You

542
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:03,000
Speaker 1: gotta be calm, you gotta help people. You just can't

543
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:07,400
Speaker 1: ignore it and expect people to turn around. So fun

544
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:11,040
Speaker 1: new part was our mechanics said that the fuel pump

545
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:15,160
Speaker 1: had just it looked like it was brand new, basically

546
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:21,960
Speaker 1: in the sable and he said, well, we're just gonna

547
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:26,679
Speaker 1: swap everything, you know, make it easier, maybe make it

548
00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:30,000
Speaker 1: run a little bit better, because every time my little

549
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:33,760
Speaker 1: brother tried to turn the wheel, he it acted like

550
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:38,720
Speaker 1: it was gonna die out pretty much on his end.

551
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:42,880
Speaker 1: You know, new doesn't mean good, right, So even if

552
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:45,600
Speaker 1: that fuel pumping the table was new, where did it

553
00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:48,560
Speaker 1: come from? And whose brand? And and and things like that.

554
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:52,160
Speaker 1: I heard a very horrifying, scary story this week from

555
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:54,640
Speaker 1: a listener. They were telling me they had repaired the vehicle.

556
00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:58,240
Speaker 1: They had purchased parts on Amazon. It was name brand stuff.

557
00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:00,840
Speaker 1: It came in that name brand box. It looked like

558
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:05,440
Speaker 1: a name brand component and it lasted a couple of days.

559
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:07,959
Speaker 1: So they got another one from Amazon. They went through

560
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:10,800
Speaker 1: the same thing. They didn't even work this time out

561
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 1: of the box. They called up the manufacturer. The manufacturer said, no,

562
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:17,440
Speaker 1: this stuff is good. Dad should work. They went down

563
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:21,040
Speaker 1: to the local parts house, got that same part, same brand,

564
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 1: and put it in and it worked fine. And when

565
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:28,320
Speaker 1: they sent that box back to the manufacturer, the manufacturer

566
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:32,840
Speaker 1: reported back to them that it was a bogus you know,

567
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:35,760
Speaker 1: it was an offshore clone made to look like I'm

568
00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:38,080
Speaker 1: not gonna mention brand names, but it was made to

569
00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:41,400
Speaker 1: look like that brand even though it wasn't. So parts

570
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:44,680
Speaker 1: is parts is a big issue, So um really is

571
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:48,680
Speaker 1: zero the car doctors coming back? Thanks you also, if

572
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:55,640
Speaker 1: we'll see you soon. Welcome back on the end of

573
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:57,200
Speaker 1: the car doctor. Hey wrong, We're gonna do a quick

574
00:29:57,240 --> 00:29:59,200
Speaker 1: piece of email. I watched your video on the huge

575
00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:01,200
Speaker 1: job to replace the Alton under the Toyota see in

576
00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:04,000
Speaker 1: and it prompted me to write you this from Stephen. Um. Yeah,

577
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:06,080
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. That video up on Facebook is

578
00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:08,000
Speaker 1: still getting some looks and it's out on YouTube. Is it?

579
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:10,800
Speaker 1: I'm on YouTube? I think it is. I recently replaced

580
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:13,160
Speaker 1: maybe not. I recently replaced my radiator, my two thousand

581
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:15,479
Speaker 1: eleven jeep wrangler. Boy, if I got a jeep wrangler

582
00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:17,360
Speaker 1: story for you, that's next hour. I had to take

583
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:19,840
Speaker 1: off the front end of access everything there were dozens

584
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:22,640
Speaker 1: of clips, nuts, bolts, shields, et cetera, easily two dozen parts,

585
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:25,280
Speaker 1: and forget everything apart I was ready to install the radiator.

586
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:26,960
Speaker 1: I stood there scratching my head all these parts of

587
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:28,960
Speaker 1: my bench and essentially a clean slate to start from.

588
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:31,280
Speaker 1: My panicked a little, fearing I would not remember where

589
00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:33,200
Speaker 1: every piece when I eventually got it back together. But

590
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:35,920
Speaker 1: I literally had a sleep on it overnight and referenced

591
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:38,480
Speaker 1: some YouTube videos to find a home for every single

592
00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:40,479
Speaker 1: nut bolt and plastic retaining clip. And one of your

593
00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:42,480
Speaker 1: past episodes you talked about the importance of having a

594
00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:45,760
Speaker 1: repeatable process. I'm curious as to what you've implemented at

595
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:47,800
Speaker 1: your shops that your technicians have no parts left over

596
00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:49,880
Speaker 1: at the end of the job. Is there a process

597
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:53,200
Speaker 1: that you can recommend for the weekend warriors like myself, Steve?

598
00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:56,640
Speaker 1: You know, Steve, I'll tell you what. One of the

599
00:30:56,720 --> 00:31:01,280
Speaker 1: greatest things to establish a repeatable process us I find

600
00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:05,040
Speaker 1: is your cell phone, right, pictures with your cell phone,

601
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:08,400
Speaker 1: just take pictures along the way, and you know what,

602
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:11,720
Speaker 1: I've taken pictures where I've got my you know, I'll

603
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:15,160
Speaker 1: be pointing three fingers at three bolts like you know

604
00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:18,800
Speaker 1: these and referencing in my mind. Yeah, there's something critical

605
00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:21,200
Speaker 1: about those or uh, you know, I'll take a note

606
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:23,480
Speaker 1: and write it on a piece of paper and you

607
00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:26,000
Speaker 1: know that stuff. So your camera, your cell phone is

608
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:28,360
Speaker 1: a camera because it's just a great device, or a

609
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:31,560
Speaker 1: video where I'll talk to myself or I'll text myself

610
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:33,480
Speaker 1: a message. Hey, remember when you take the three bolts

611
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:36,880
Speaker 1: out of the jeep that the they all go along

612
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:39,040
Speaker 1: the left side of the fender, well not the upper

613
00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:41,760
Speaker 1: inner corner, something like that. And then a parts tray.

614
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:44,520
Speaker 1: You gotta have a parts tray. I've got and they're

615
00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:48,360
Speaker 1: out there from various manufacturers and various brands. Mac makes some,

616
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:51,120
Speaker 1: snap On makes them where I'll buy the bigger parts

617
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:53,640
Speaker 1: tray and I take a black magic marker that's you know,

618
00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:57,400
Speaker 1: not a permanent but you can wipe it off, and

619
00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:01,040
Speaker 1: you know, I'll carve up the parts tray a like

620
00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:03,240
Speaker 1: a sir loin steak or like you know when you

621
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:04,800
Speaker 1: see the pictures of how they carve up a cal

622
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:06,960
Speaker 1: like this is sir loine, this is flank and so on.

623
00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:09,880
Speaker 1: So you know, the tray is what eight by eight

624
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:11,520
Speaker 1: by ten or eight by eight and I'll just make it,

625
00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:13,959
Speaker 1: you know, you know, radiator bolts and then draw some

626
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:17,160
Speaker 1: more lines and then crossover bolts, and you know, draw

627
00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:19,719
Speaker 1: some lines and then this bolt first, and and and

628
00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:22,120
Speaker 1: so on. And then when I'm done and I've got

629
00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:25,040
Speaker 1: no bolts left over, then i will just you know,

630
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:27,680
Speaker 1: take some card plane and just you know, or break

631
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:29,600
Speaker 1: clean and just wipe the permanent marker on the way

632
00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:31,360
Speaker 1: it goes. And I've got another kind of like a

633
00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:34,360
Speaker 1: dry erase board set up, and you know, that works

634
00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:38,200
Speaker 1: really well. And yeah, and then you know what, looking

635
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:40,960
Speaker 1: at a YouTube picture which is basically the picture I took,

636
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:44,600
Speaker 1: um that doesn't hurt either. The problem with repair information

637
00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:47,600
Speaker 1: is it doesn't go into the detail to the minutia

638
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:51,240
Speaker 1: level that you need sometimes and sometimes that picture of

639
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:54,520
Speaker 1: what you're taking apart to put it back together makes

640
00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:56,400
Speaker 1: all the difference in the world and a getting it

641
00:32:56,440 --> 00:33:00,520
Speaker 1: done fast on time and not having parts piles left over.

642
00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:04,440
Speaker 1: Ron doesn't have parts piles left over. He doesn't like that. So,

643
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:07,440
Speaker 1: but great question. I I appreciate it, and I feel

644
00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:09,640
Speaker 1: your pain. I feel your growth. Brother hanging there, keep

645
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:19,920
Speaker 1: going zero the carters coming back right after this some

646
00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:22,880
Speaker 1: days an order repair it's just it just goes like this.

647
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:26,120
Speaker 1: I was reading the Mitchell One Real Fixure Trek Fix

648
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:28,120
Speaker 1: of the Week this week, and they start off by

649
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:29,800
Speaker 1: talking about you've got a car at your shop that

650
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:32,000
Speaker 1: you've that you've sold to a customer, but you can't

651
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:33,960
Speaker 1: deliver because it won't pass state infection because of a

652
00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:37,080
Speaker 1: minute emissions. You've you've tried everything you can think of,

653
00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:40,080
Speaker 1: so now you ask your fellow technicians for help. And

654
00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:41,760
Speaker 1: that's what Sure Trek did, right. And they go on

655
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:45,120
Speaker 1: and they talk about it, and it was a conversation

656
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:48,000
Speaker 1: about why we can't get the monitors on this car

657
00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:51,479
Speaker 1: to run. And this is the power of having, you know,

658
00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:54,680
Speaker 1: somebody to ask somebody to talk to somebody that you know,

659
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:58,960
Speaker 1: why does this happen? And it turned out that the

660
00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:02,720
Speaker 1: reason it won't pass inspections because the O two and

661
00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:06,920
Speaker 1: the EVAPP permissions or the EVAPP monitors won't won't complete.

662
00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:10,000
Speaker 1: And what they ended up doing was at that point

663
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:12,160
Speaker 1: they had done some diagnostic steps. They had, you know,

664
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:14,920
Speaker 1: worked on the evap ben solinoid, they changed the O

665
00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:17,359
Speaker 1: two heater or they changed some parts, and they still

666
00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:22,480
Speaker 1: didn't get any anywhere. The car still didn't didn't pass um.

667
00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:24,640
Speaker 1: It was all in how they were they were doing

668
00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:27,720
Speaker 1: and running the monitors. Because monitors, you hear me talk about.

669
00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:30,480
Speaker 1: Monitors are the self tests that the computer goes through

670
00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:32,799
Speaker 1: when it's when it's you know, started up. Like every

671
00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:34,880
Speaker 1: car goes through a monitor or self test. It's like

672
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:38,359
Speaker 1: you, you you get up in the morning, there's some must's right,

673
00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:41,480
Speaker 1: you must have your coffee, you must be left alone

674
00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:44,359
Speaker 1: for five minutes, or maybe not. You must you know,

675
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:46,879
Speaker 1: shower and shave or maybe not, but you get the idea.

676
00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:50,239
Speaker 1: It's rules and regulations, not you, Mike. So cars have

677
00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:52,759
Speaker 1: to run monitors. It turned out that the fix for

678
00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:57,000
Speaker 1: this was parking the car knows out, letting it sit overnight,

679
00:34:57,040 --> 00:35:00,200
Speaker 1: and then getting out immediately driving the car to set

680
00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:02,879
Speaker 1: speed for four miles because that's how the monitor had

681
00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:07,520
Speaker 1: a run. And following specific rules and regulations to get

682
00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:09,960
Speaker 1: the monitor run is what's got that vehicle to pass.

683
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:12,439
