1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:02,480
Speaker 1: Ron and Anian, You're not the guy turned the wrench,

2
00:00:02,600 --> 00:00:05,360
Speaker 1: You're the guy paying the bill. Your opinion counts on

3
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:09,320
Speaker 1: the quality of the repair and the procedure or process

4
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:13,320
Speaker 1: by which it was done fixed. Like the Car Doctor,

5
00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:16,280
Speaker 1: it's a disconnected varier cable if people don't work on

6
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:20,720
Speaker 1: somebody adutrical. So I'm scared to prayer to check my

7
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:23,759
Speaker 1: favorite cable solution now because the prayer might not start.

8
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:26,400
Speaker 1: You know, you should be able to connect and disconnect

9
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 1: the cable back and forth without hurting the car. Welcome

10
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:33,280
Speaker 1: to the radio home of ron and Anian, the Car Doctor,

11
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 1: since this is where car owners the world overturned to

12
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 1: for their definitive opinion on automotive repair. If your mechanics

13
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 1: giving you a busy signal, pick up the phone and

14
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 1: call in the garage doors are open, but I am

15
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:50,919
Speaker 1: here to take your calls at eight five, five six

16
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 1: and now quiet and I'm broadcasting running. The responsibility of

17
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:03,600
Speaker 1: taking care of a car really needs to be handed

18
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 1: down to the next generation. It's gonna be a problem.

19
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 1: Held on and welcome Ronini in the Car Doctor talking

20
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 1: to you today. You know I've noticed this that we

21
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:14,400
Speaker 1: teach the kids how to drive we make sure they

22
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:18,480
Speaker 1: get driver's licenses, we try to help them, maybe we

23
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:20,480
Speaker 1: try to help them get into a car, and or

24
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 1: we let them drive ours. But do we talk to

25
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 1: them enough about here's how to take care of it,

26
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:29,680
Speaker 1: here's the responsibility. And I don't know that we are

27
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:33,959
Speaker 1: because I wonder if if we as parents, the majority

28
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,320
Speaker 1: of you know how to take care of a car

29
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 1: or even think about it. Is it just a giant appliance,

30
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 1: and it's a generational thing. It's it's something I've noticed

31
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 1: over time. I I work out at a local gym,

32
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 1: you know, just and I do all right trying to

33
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 1: you know, I'm gonna live forever, right, I gotta keep

34
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 1: fixing cars. And I'm the old guy. I mean I am.

35
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 1: I'm the old guy there and or one of the

36
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 1: old guys. And you listen. You learn a lot by listening.

37
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 1: And I listened to the kids to me, their kids,

38
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 1: they're thirty years old, they're thirty five years old, and

39
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 1: they're talking about their lease cars. And a lot of

40
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 1: them don't buy cars because their parents didn't buy cars,

41
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 1: because they leased cars. Because that's what they were taught

42
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 1: and and that's what the next generation is being raised

43
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,360
Speaker 1: on Lisa car don't know the next generation is being

44
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 1: leased on. Don't even own a car, right, It's it's

45
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 1: uber and Lyft and all the all the ride services.

46
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 1: But who's going to Somewhere along the way. Somebody has

47
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 1: to fix these cars because a lot of these younger

48
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 1: people that aren't being explained the value of repairing something

49
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 1: are are are gonna be left high and dry, and

50
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 1: it's hard to catch up, because once you fall behind,

51
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's it's hard to catch up in

52
00:02:55,560 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 1: terms of of of a culture or a tradition. Betty

53
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 1: and Antonino our dear friends of my wife and ours,

54
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 1: and and we love them to death. They're a little older,

55
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 1: and they're just a cute older couple and they're they're

56
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,799
Speaker 1: they're just funny how they how they relate to a car.

57
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 1: Tanino had the B eight eight Lincoln town Car that

58
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:17,359
Speaker 1: we talked about from time to time here on the

59
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 1: show and had a hundred fifty hundred, sixty thousand miles

60
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,240
Speaker 1: on it. And Tanino was of the school of thought

61
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 1: that my mechanic can fix it and I can drive

62
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 1: it forever. And I kept, you know, Tanino, I'm running

63
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 1: out of parts the cars forty years old, all right.

64
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 1: So he finally went out and after the last go round,

65
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 1: I forget what it was we couldn't get six seven

66
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 1: months ago. And they purchased for good, better or or worse,

67
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 1: Aeen Chevy and Pala. And it's not that it's a

68
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 1: problem car, but the electronics that are in this car

69
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 1: are are just this really is right. Brothers to Space Shuttle, okay.

70
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 1: And they came over the other day. Antonino's telling me

71
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 1: he gets his first oil change free at the at

72
00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 1: the dealership and I said, fine, you know, he went

73
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 1: back back and he said, but now the odometer doesn't work.

74
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 1: And I said, well but this that doesn't make any sense, right,

75
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 1: come on, give me the keys. It was after dinner.

76
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 1: We ran outside and I sat in the car, and yeah,

77
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 1: when the kid changed the oil reset, when he did

78
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:16,839
Speaker 1: the oil change and did the reset, he never put

79
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 1: the odometer back up on the screen and he left

80
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 1: it like that. In Poor Tanino he's, you know, he's

81
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 1: just baffled by all this. He just couldn't relate to this.

82
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,359
Speaker 1: He just where the odometer goes. He says, I'll go

83
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:29,600
Speaker 1: see ron We'll we'll go there for dinner over the weekend.

84
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 1: So then I'm listening to Betty Anna talk his his wife,

85
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 1: and she's you know, she's talking about the car and

86
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 1: how much they love the car, but you know, the

87
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,480
Speaker 1: technology is overwhelming to them, and they're sorry that they

88
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,479
Speaker 1: didn't replace the Lincoln sooner so that they could kind

89
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 1: of evolve into steps because Tanino still wants to maintain

90
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 1: the Chevy and Pala the way he maintained the Lincoln,

91
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:54,719
Speaker 1: which is it's just night and day difference. And it

92
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:58,159
Speaker 1: made me realize, you know, it's it's we're creatures of habit.

93
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,039
Speaker 1: It's it's what we've been taught or it's what we've

94
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 1: done over the years, and it's hard to get out

95
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,840
Speaker 1: of habit. And it's it's gonna be hard for to

96
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 1: Nino not to maintain this Impela the way he maintained

97
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 1: his eight eight Lincoln, because obviously he's gonna go too

98
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:19,040
Speaker 1: much and the kids driving the Accura is not going

99
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 1: to maintain it at all. So you know, how do

100
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 1: you reach that and how do you and and and

101
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 1: I don't have that answer, I really don't. And I've

102
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 1: thought about this, and I've come to the conclusion that

103
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:33,720
Speaker 1: you know, it's just a question or a matter of

104
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:36,840
Speaker 1: listening and explaining and and and hoping that people get it.

105
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 1: But I I just make this as a general statement.

106
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 1: I wonder if we're going to see more cars in

107
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 1: the future down on the side of the road with

108
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:51,039
Speaker 1: hoods up as a result of maintenance that wasn't done

109
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,600
Speaker 1: because people didn't know to do it. And and and

110
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 1: that's where all this is. It's on the back of

111
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:56,360
Speaker 1: my mind that it will be a couple of years

112
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 1: before we see the result. But that's what I think. Uh,

113
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:00,480
Speaker 1: that's what I think is gonna happen. So um, just

114
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,280
Speaker 1: something to think about that the responsibility of maintenance is

115
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 1: up to us. We have to explain it to the

116
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 1: next generation so they understand the value and they perform

117
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 1: it as as needed. Hello, welcome Running Needing the car doctor.

118
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:12,919
Speaker 1: Let's uh, you've got to look going on there. Franklin Gage,

119
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:15,600
Speaker 1: president of the Vintage Chevley Club of America, is gonna

120
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 1: be with us at two thirty. I'm sorry, down around

121
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,040
Speaker 1: the bottom of the hour today and we're looking forward

122
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:21,919
Speaker 1: to talking to Franklin. But right now, let's kick the

123
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:25,600
Speaker 1: garage doors open. Jeremy in d C, the Capital um,

124
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:27,599
Speaker 1: twelve Chevy crews. What's going on here, Jeremy? How can

125
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 1: I help? Well? Happy New Year. I put a new

126
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 1: uh crankshaft seal on this baby. You know, we're behind

127
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 1: the pollet and it's the one point for turbo the thing.

128
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:48,240
Speaker 1: I used the errands to blast the you know, the

129
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 1: bolt off it. So to get it off and to

130
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 1: put it back on, it's a procedure. Yeah, it's well,

131
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:57,160
Speaker 1: you know, it's what you've torqud to yield jobs where

132
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:01,919
Speaker 1: ten and plus sixty degree easy. But of course I

133
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:04,359
Speaker 1: don't have the special tool to hold this fricking coolly

134
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 1: and I can't really get a piebar as well, so

135
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 1: I just you know, I put it in as far

136
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 1: as I could by hand holding it, you know, with

137
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 1: like a screwdriver, and then hit it with the air gun.

138
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 1: I mean, do you think that he's gonna do it?

139
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 1: But I don't know how much it actually turned with

140
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 1: the air gun. So my backup plan was today, put

141
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 1: a new bolt on and do it by using a

142
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 1: torque stick. It's a twenty pounds, and then put a

143
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 1: little mark on the end of the you know the

144
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 1: their gun, um, you know, the socket, and then try

145
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 1: to blast that another sixty degrees. But do you think

146
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 1: I'd be okay just leaving it from the first time

147
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 1: where I just you know, nailed it as hard as

148
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 1: I could. Well, why don't we get after hand tightening.

149
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 1: Why don't we try this? Because I think it would

150
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 1: be foolish and I'd be a hypocrite if I sat

151
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 1: here and I said, you know every special tool and

152
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 1: every special procedure, Jeremy, I've always followed the book. You know,

153
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 1: sometimes sometimes ought to repairs a gut call. Alright, brother,

154
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 1: it's sometimes sometimes you're gonna kiss it with the air

155
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 1: gun and you know you're gonna keep an eye on it.

156
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 1: So why don't you leave it where it is? If

157
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 1: you feel better? Given it another tap with the air gun.

158
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 1: Good ahead, and then stake it or chisel market take

159
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 1: a long straight take a long flat blade chisel. Right,

160
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 1: tap the head of the bolt, make a mark on

161
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 1: the chisel, make a mark on the bolt flange, and

162
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 1: make a mark on the crank pulley. Alright, so now

163
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 1: you know that's where it was, just mart twelve o'clock

164
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:40,079
Speaker 1: and I right, that's fine, and just you know, I

165
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:41,719
Speaker 1: make a mark on the pulley make a mark on

166
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:43,560
Speaker 1: the bolt, you know, just put just put the face

167
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 1: of the chisel across both and if you come back

168
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 1: to it in two weeks, a month, or as you

169
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:50,199
Speaker 1: service it for an oil change, if ever those marks

170
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 1: start to move, you'll know a good deal. Man. Well,

171
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:56,679
Speaker 1: I appreciate. So. I mean the fact that I didn't

172
00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:58,559
Speaker 1: you know, I did it as hard as I could

173
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 1: by hand, then I hit it with the air gun,

174
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:03,719
Speaker 1: and the fact that I didn't necessarily see it move

175
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:05,720
Speaker 1: a whole hell of a lot. That's not something I

176
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 1: gotta concern myself with. You don't think I don't think

177
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 1: your eye would see it. One One thing. One thing

178
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 1: to think about if you ever do it again. You know,

179
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 1: you probably put a little dab You can put a

180
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 1: little dab of a lock tight or a thread lock

181
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 1: on the on the threads. Put a little oil under

182
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 1: the flange of the bolt. Yeah, exactly, That's what I

183
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 1: was worried. There's too much friction into there, and that's

184
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 1: what kept it from moving. Right. So, because the idea

185
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 1: is you're gonna you're gonna spin the head of the

186
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,079
Speaker 1: bolt all the A lot of the bolts today, I

187
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 1: shouldn't say, well, but a lot of the bolts today

188
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 1: are torsional orn that they twist, and that that amount

189
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 1: of twist is it's a very different porking type of

190
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 1: specification we run today, and it's it's it's very exact

191
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 1: and very pronounced. But try it the way I did it,

192
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:55,560
Speaker 1: and you know, I bet you'll be fun. Just keep

193
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 1: an eye on it all man, Apank you you're very welcome.

194

Speaker 1: When we come back, Paul and Maryland, stick by the phone,

197
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:08,199
Speaker 1: we'll be right there. I'm running any in the car doctor,

198
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:22,560
Speaker 1: don't go away. Need advice on how they're maintaining that

199
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 1: classic g t O. Ron is the guy eight five

200
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 1: five five six zero nine nine zero zero. Here's Ron. Hey,

201
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 1: let's get over and talk to Paul and Maryland. Paul,

202
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:34,319
Speaker 1: you're out with the car doctor, Sir, How can I help? Hey? Ron?

203
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 1: How you doing to picture? What's going on? Good good?

204
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 1: I'm trying to hook up a trailer break controller on

205
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 1: a Chevy Express Van and I need some guidance on

206
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:46,680
Speaker 1: how to hook it in and see what's going on

207
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 1: with that. So are you you're you're you're using an

208
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 1: aftermarket install kit? Correct? Yes? And do they provide has

209
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 1: the I'm sorry, go ahead, I was gonna say, did

210
00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 1: they provide instructions with it? I haven't to. I haven't

211
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 1: bought a controller yet. I'm still searching. Okay, So your

212
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 1: question is, because a lot of this is going to

213
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 1: be particular for the vehicle, is you want to see

214
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:13,560
Speaker 1: the instructions before you buy the kit. You want to

215
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 1: see you want to see how specific they get and

216
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 1: just exactly what do they want you to do. And

217
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:22,560
Speaker 1: here's here's the concern, all right, because a lot of this,

218
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:24,680
Speaker 1: some of it, well I'll say, like this, some of

219
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 1: this is still plug and play, but some of this

220
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:31,680
Speaker 1: also requires programming. I don't believe it will on a seventeen.

221
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 1: But the instructions should warn you ahead of time what's

222
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:38,560
Speaker 1: going to be required on your end. Because sometimes, alright,

223
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:42,439
Speaker 1: break light wiring is not break light wiring. Sometimes it's

224
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 1: a signal coming out of a UH as part of

225
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:47,080
Speaker 1: the can bus, coming out of a module that tells

226
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 1: the bulb to turn on via digital signal. It's not

227
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 1: you know that technology everything, it's it's it's not. It's

228
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:59,680
Speaker 1: not it's not always voltage and it I'm gonna say

229
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:03,960
Speaker 1: it probably is on yours. But just to make the points,

230
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:07,559
Speaker 1: everybody is aware of it. So you know, anytime I

231
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 1: see somebody starting or trying to get into something like this,

232
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 1: I always encourage them. Listen, talk to the manufacturer. There's blogs,

233
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 1: there's forms, there's guys that have hooked it up before

234
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 1: you specific to your vehicle, specific to the kit you choose,

235
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:24,839
Speaker 1: and you know, make the decision from there and and

236
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 1: don't necessarily choose it on price. Understood. Yeah, I'm trying

237
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:32,560
Speaker 1: to get the best one. It's the truck's got the

238
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:35,320
Speaker 1: toe package on it with the seven pin connector and

239
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 1: everything out on the bumper from the factory. So I'm

240
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 1: guessing and from the research I've done so far, there's

241
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:45,560
Speaker 1: a wiring terminals or harness that ends up into the dash.

242
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:50,960
Speaker 1: Well wait at if it's got the RPO toe package

243
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 1: installed in it, and so what makes if it's got

244
00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 1: the toe package on the bumper, why isn't the harness

245
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 1: in place? Maybe I misunderstand that. I'm I'm just a

246
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 1: early stages yere if I found just research online and everything,

247
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 1: we'll trying to set this up for my dad. Okay,

248
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:13,520
Speaker 1: because if it has, if it has the if it

249
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 1: has the trailer connector in the bumper, the harness might

250
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 1: be there and it's a matter of or it might

251
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 1: just be a matter of connecting the bumper to a

252
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:26,440
Speaker 1: junction block. Um in the uh it was it's probably

253
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 1: above the left left spring perch somewhere there is a

254
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 1: junction box there. Because what they'll do is they'll run

255
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 1: digital I've seen they'll run digital signal back to a

256
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:42,440
Speaker 1: module located above the spare tire well on some of these,

257
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 1: and then from there it'll come out as simple voltage.

258
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 1: It will come out and they'll split it and they'll

259
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 1: make this going to the tail lamp assemblies and this

260
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:55,560
Speaker 1: leg going to the trailer connector. Okay, so maybe you know,

261
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 1: if this has if this has the plug and the bumper,

262
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:02,079
Speaker 1: this might be a conversation with the dealer saying, hey,

263
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:04,599
Speaker 1: you know, here's the ven, here's the rp O, the

264
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 1: regular production option code list, which is likely on the

265
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 1: glove box door, all right, and if it's not there,

266
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:14,480
Speaker 1: we're seeing a van that should be there on a

267
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 1: van either that or it's on top of the spare

268
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 1: tire or the jack information in the rear of the

269
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 1: vehicle wherever they store that. It's generally one of the

270
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 1: two places. But it's gonna be a case of, Hey,

271
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 1: here's the VN, here's the r p O codes, what

272
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 1: do I need to finish putting the trailer install? And

273
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 1: if I've already got the harness in the in the bumper,

274
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 1: it just might be that simple. So it might not

275
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 1: be that that big a deal. Um, And then worst

276
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 1: case scenario, somebody might have to go in with you know,

277
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 1: dealer level capable scan tool or the or the tool

278
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 1: itself and just turn it on. Believe it or not.

279
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 1: The car companies actually install a lot of options in

280
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 1: vehicles today, and sometimes the out right yeah, and sometimes

281
00:14:57,400 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 1: when you're when you when you want to make it work,

282
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 1: you're paying for the you know, when you check the

283
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 1: box to put X, Y or Z and into the car,

284
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 1: you're you're you're paying for them to turn it on

285
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 1: with software. But it's there. It's okay. I'll give you

286
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:12,480
Speaker 1: I'll give you an example. I bought my nineteen Silverado

287
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 1: a year and a half ago, and I wanted to

288
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 1: and I wanted remote start the kit was. Let me

289
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:23,760
Speaker 1: think for a second, like Bucks came with the remotes,

290
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 1: and it came with a jumper wire that they had

291
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:33,320
Speaker 1: to install on the hood latch that told it when

292
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:35,600
Speaker 1: the hood was up, it wouldn't allow the remote start

293
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:39,400
Speaker 1: to work. And and the rest of the expense was

294
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 1: that they had to turn it on with the factory

295
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 1: level tool. It was it really was. Everything was there.

296
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:49,360
Speaker 1: Everything was there, just it was programming. It really wasn't

297
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 1: hard to do so much more and more common, Like

298
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 1: you're saying, yeah, it's well, because listen, it's not. It's

299
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:58,760
Speaker 1: it's it's it's so simple now with software. It's just

300
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:01,240
Speaker 1: they they they they think of it like that. And

301
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 1: then if somebody finds out, hey it's there, we just

302
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 1: gotta turn them out with software. I guess what it's.

303
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:08,200
Speaker 1: It's it's easier to sell it because it's not as expensive.

304
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 1: But that that should do it for you, all right,

305
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 1: And then well I got you. I'm also looking at

306
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 1: a newer FOD Escape. I wanted to get the thoughts

307
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 1: on those, like a seventeen or eight teen UM. I

308
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 1: have no problems with the Escape. I think they're one

309
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 1: of the better vehicles out there. On the road today,

310
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 1: like a lot, like a lot of the car companies.

311
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 1: You know, when you're you're buying something news, I'm gonna

312
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:35,160
Speaker 1: tell you know, condition dictates price. Make sure you drive it. Um,

313
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 1: I prefer the yeah, yeah, I just prefer the seventeen

314
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:41,800
Speaker 1: and the eighteens over the nineteens because nineteen they started

315
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 1: start stop technology. And I know we're never gonna get

316
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:47,360
Speaker 1: away from it, but if if I can avoid it

317
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 1: for a while, I plan to. UM. Don't have that. No,

318
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 1: they shouldn't. They should be They should be straight up,

319
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:57,840
Speaker 1: you know, regular started up like you know, we got

320
00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 1: intended and you know you drive it during the day,

321
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 1: drive it during the night. Make sure you get the

322
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:05,720
Speaker 1: bigger engine. I like the two leader, not the little one.

323
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 1: And and then look at the mileage that's on it.

324
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:12,720
Speaker 1: The one glitch that we're seeing with some of the

325
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 1: escapes is the sixteen, seventeen and eighteens. Some of them,

326
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 1: not all of them, are having head gaess got issues,

327
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:24,879
Speaker 1: and to their credit, Ford is bending over backwards making

328
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 1: sure everybody gets what they need. I've witnessed it. I

329
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:31,600
Speaker 1: just witnessed Forward buying back a customer's vehicle that they

330
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 1: deemed was gonna take too long to fix. They they

331
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:38,200
Speaker 1: they gave the woman a brand new twenty nineteen that

332
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:42,760
Speaker 1: she picked out, and they credited her her two years

333
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 1: of payments against that nineteen. So it's like she was

334
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 1: making payments on a nineteen. It's like she drove the

335
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 1: seventeen for free for two years. You can't ask for

336
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:58,280
Speaker 1: more than that. So all right, sir um, with the

337
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:01,679
Speaker 1: long term durability, you're not seeing the issues now there

338
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:03,960
Speaker 1: they seem to be rocks. That's my engineer Tom. The

339
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:06,200
Speaker 1: next time you call in, Tom's got one. He's got

340
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:08,479
Speaker 1: a fourteen, and he's got a fifteen, and I think

341
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 1: it's got two hundred and forty thousand miles on so um,

342
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:15,920
Speaker 1: something like that. So they tend to run forever. I'm

343
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 1: running Name in the Car Doctor right coming up next,

344

348
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:51,360
Speaker 1: when it comes to automobiles and and and what transpires.

349
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:54,960
Speaker 1: Last week, we're reading a recent issue of generator and distributor,

350
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 1: and Franklin Gage was listening. He is the president of

Speaker 1: the micam auction and kissing me where Macom very kindly

358
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:19,359
Speaker 1: gives us a boot to find new members. Oh, I

359
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:22,320
Speaker 1: bet you. That's got to be an experience to go through, right,

360
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 1: just to see all the cars that are down there. Yeah. Well,

361
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 1: I'm kind of tied up with the boots, but I

362
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 1: see a lot of them go by. Um, tell me

363
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 1: about the Beni Chevlet Club of America. Why why you know?

364
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:36,159
Speaker 1: I mean, from your perspective, Franklin, what is it about

365
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:39,680
Speaker 1: Chevrolet that that that turns you on like it does? Well,

366
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:43,920
Speaker 1: it's very much accidental. Um. I was born in nineteen

367
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:47,159
Speaker 1: fifty five and my mother had a new nineteen fifty

368
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:50,480
Speaker 1: one Chevy in nineteen fifty one, and that was our

369
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:55,720
Speaker 1: only car until nineteen seventy and Uh, I saw an

370
00:19:55,720 --> 00:20:00,199
Speaker 1: ad for one in nine in the back pages of

371
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:04,200
Speaker 1: the paper in the class of fives, and just for fun,

372
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:06,480
Speaker 1: I went to look at it, and somehow it ended

373
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:11,920
Speaker 1: up in my garage, and somehow it reproduced and there

374
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:15,080
Speaker 1: are more of them now, But the fifty one is

375
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 1: still in my sentimental favorite and uh, it gets driven

376
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 1: all over the country and is you know? And I

377
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 1: know the answer, and I just want you to state

378
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:26,240
Speaker 1: the obvious if it's true. But you know, is that

379
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:30,400
Speaker 1: fifty one the sentimental favorite because it was Mom's car? Absolutely?

380
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:33,479
Speaker 1: And I find most of the get into the collector

381
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:37,479
Speaker 1: car hobby, usually their first car somehow reminds them of

382
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:41,320
Speaker 1: their misspent youth. And uh, in this case, it happened

383
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:44,399
Speaker 1: to be my mother's only car for nineteen years, and

384
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:47,320
Speaker 1: my father didn't drive it all. So most of my

385
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:50,440
Speaker 1: family memories are because of that car. And then I

386
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:53,680
Speaker 1: remember I've never owned a new car, but I didn't

387
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 1: know a thing about collector cars. So I found someone

388
00:20:56,040 --> 00:21:00,520
Speaker 1: in the Yellow Pages to appraise it. And as we

389
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 1: were driving through the hills of the d C suburbs, Uh,

390
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:06,400
Speaker 1: he said to me, well, if you buy it, you're

391
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:09,240
Speaker 1: going to meet the nicest people in the world, and

392
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 1: someone came up and handed me a copy of the

393
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:14,200
Speaker 1: Generator and Distributor the first time I went to get

394
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:18,919
Speaker 1: gas in and I immediately joined the Vintage Chevrolet Club

395
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:22,160
Speaker 1: and it's been a very happy ride ever since. What's

396
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:27,480
Speaker 1: the what's the oldest Chevrolet you've seen? Well, I guess

397
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:31,720
Speaker 1: the oldest I've ever seen would be nineteen twelve. UM.

398
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:35,680
Speaker 1: We had a member in Ohio that recently acquired one. UM.

399
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:39,200
Speaker 1: The oldest one I have is the N seven. It's

400
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:44,480
Speaker 1: my most impractical power but it's the most fun to drive. Well,

401
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:49,679
Speaker 1: there's just something about a Chevy four cylinder that doesn't

402
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:54,119
Speaker 1: go all that fast, but you there's until you drive one.

403
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:55,960
Speaker 1: I agree. I guess I'm really not very good at

404
00:21:55,960 --> 00:22:00,280
Speaker 1: describing it. Is it? Is it? And is it? Do

405
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 1: you look at the cars and do you see American

406
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 1: history and each one the lifestyles, the culture at the

407
00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:10,000
Speaker 1: point where the country was at that Absolutely, And I

408
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:12,439
Speaker 1: don't just look at the car. Every car has a

409
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:15,359
Speaker 1: story behind it. Anyone can go on the Internet and

410
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:17,480
Speaker 1: find an image for just about any car that was

411
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:20,959
Speaker 1: ever built. But when you find out the stories of

412
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:27,399
Speaker 1: marriages and you know, like my own childhood and theft one. Um,

413
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:29,919
Speaker 1: there are always interesting stories and some of the cars,

414
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:32,400
Speaker 1: you know, sometimes a guy may have bought it new

415
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:34,080
Speaker 1: and then he sold it, and then he had second

416
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:37,359
Speaker 1: thoughts and years later found his car again. They're just

417
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:40,679
Speaker 1: endless stories which we try to feature in the magazine

418
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:44,640
Speaker 1: every month. Well, and I have to agree, I say

419
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:48,240
Speaker 1: this all the time. I don't think fifty years from

420
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:51,080
Speaker 1: now there's going to be a vintage Honda club. Nobody's

421
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:54,880
Speaker 1: gonna be talking about their mother's Toyota. It just doesn't

422
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 1: seem to fly like that. And well, I'm not sure,

423
00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:03,119
Speaker 1: you know, we may disagree on that. I don't know

424
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:06,080
Speaker 1: what's going to happen in fifty years, but I suspect

425
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:07,960
Speaker 1: that there will be some people, it may not be

426
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 1: as many as in our generation, who have an interest

427
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 1: in whatever they grew up with. Well, but then will

428
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 1: be will they be able to get parts for it?

429
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 1: Is the other side of that. Well, then maybe they'll

430
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:21,480
Speaker 1: start three D copying them or something. Well that's I

431
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:24,560
Speaker 1: guess that's a possibility. But I often, I often think

432
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 1: that the vintage you know, car clubs such as the

433
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:31,199
Speaker 1: Chevrolet you know, because you can still repair most of

434
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:33,879
Speaker 1: what's out there. Correct, You can find something somewhere that

435
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 1: will either the right party, you can find something that

436
00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:38,840
Speaker 1: will work. Yeah. So I have friends in the hobby

437
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:42,520
Speaker 1: though who have some pretty rare cars and if they

438
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:44,880
Speaker 1: have to they if you have enough money, you get

439
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:46,720
Speaker 1: the part made, or if you have enough talent, you

440
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:52,040
Speaker 1: do it yourself. Um. But um, I would just love

441

457
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:47,160
Speaker 1: I was a I was a young kid. I went

458
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:50,359
Speaker 1: and saw American graffiti in nineteen seventy three. I said,

459
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:52,119
Speaker 1: that's the neatest thing in the whole world to me,

460
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:55,440
Speaker 1: that black fifty five, And little did I know would

461
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:57,600
Speaker 1: lead me down this path. I mean, that's where that's

462
00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:00,879
Speaker 1: what kicks started me. And it's been cheval Lays ever since.

463
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:02,880
Speaker 1: You know, as a matter of fact, I can't get

464
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:05,120
Speaker 1: away from them. It's it's you know, I can't tell

465
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:07,640
Speaker 1: you this. That's the That one is probably the sixth

466
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 1: or seven fifty five, and I just recently went out

467
00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 1: and found the seventy two Monte Carlo. I went to

468
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:16,679
Speaker 1: college in and you know, it's just there's just something

469
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:21,919
Speaker 1: about that, that childhood memory. That magazine that we do,

470
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:26,159
Speaker 1: our monthly magazine, and our January issue, which I'm handing

471
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:29,080
Speaker 1: out to people here at the auction has a nineteen

472
00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:33,199
Speaker 1: seventy Monte Carlo on the cover, and then we had

473
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 1: a fifty five in the November issue. So we we

474
00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:40,359
Speaker 1: try to appeal to anyone who has an interest in

475
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:44,280
Speaker 1: Chevrolet's or g MC's. We started recognizing GMC's at our

476
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:49,160
Speaker 1: shows about five years ago, and most of are judging

477
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:54,640
Speaker 1: at our shows is uh oriented towards original cars. However,

478
00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 1: we do have a personalized Chevrolet chapter and we welcome

479
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:02,919
Speaker 1: anyone with a car that may have been uh somewhat modified.

480
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:07,160
Speaker 1: And uh, you were all soo many people? Is it?

481
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:09,960
Speaker 1: Is there an age limit? Franklin? Is it? Is it

482
00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:13,440
Speaker 1: a Chevrolet? Can somebody join the club with a Chevrolet?

483
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:15,879
Speaker 1: Or is it? Is it? Is it all stuff? The

484
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:17,680
Speaker 1: truth is you don't even have to own a car

485
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:23,159
Speaker 1: to join us. But the judging is for cars that

486
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:27,840
Speaker 1: are twenty five years or older, so and earlier is

487
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:31,520
Speaker 1: welcome on our judging field. Um, we do have tours

488
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:35,560
Speaker 1: for the newer cars, and our membership, if you get

489
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:39,680
Speaker 1: your monthly magazine online is only twenty five dollars a year.

490
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:42,600
Speaker 1: If you get mailed every month, it's only forty dollars

491
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:45,320
Speaker 1: a year. I don't like to brag too much, but

492
00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:48,439
Speaker 1: I often say that we're the best bargain in the

493
00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:50,959
Speaker 1: automotive hobby. Well, and there's a lot of there's a

494
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:54,439
Speaker 1: lot of information packed between the covers of Generator and

495
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:56,639
Speaker 1: distributor and a lot of well, if you're trying to

496
00:26:56,800 --> 00:27:00,280
Speaker 1: store a Chevrolet, it's it's all there. If you you

497
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:03,359
Speaker 1: probably noticed in the back of every issue. We have

498
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 1: a list of technical advisors for almost every year, and

499
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:10,919
Speaker 1: uh there isn't a whole lot that they don't know

500
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:14,879
Speaker 1: about how to help you with your car or truck.

501
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:18,000
Speaker 1: Before I let you go, Franklin, real quick, your thoughts

502
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:23,639
Speaker 1: Is the membership getting older, younger, staying the same? Do

503
00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:26,080
Speaker 1: you see it expanding? Is it hard to attract people

504
00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:29,560
Speaker 1: into the club? We we have had a slight decline

505
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:33,760
Speaker 1: in the last five years. However, I've been analyzing the

506
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:36,199
Speaker 1: membership figures and we actually have been going up for

507
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:40,440
Speaker 1: the last four months. And yes, we tend to be older,

508
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:43,679
Speaker 1: but when I come to an event like this MICAM action,

509
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:48,159
Speaker 1: they're young over the place here, so it's only a

510
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:51,360
Speaker 1: matter of finding them, and we have many enthusiastic members.

511
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:56,040
Speaker 1: Our newest technical advisor is a nineteen year old from

512
00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:59,200
Speaker 1: Michigan who for the last six years has torn apart

513
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:03,359
Speaker 1: and started putting back together again his nineteen nine business.

514
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:09,600
Speaker 1: Uh cool, So uh year olds giving advice to everyone

515
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:12,960
Speaker 1: else wonderful. It's wonderful as roight. Franklin, I want to

516

00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 1: Charlie Apple dot org Vintage chevro Leake Club of America. Right,

519
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:25,920
Speaker 1: come see us, Okay, alright, anytime Pal you need anything,

522
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:33,760
Speaker 1: a good rest of the day. You take good care, Yes, sir,

523
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:36,960
Speaker 1: five six zero nine zero zero. Running in the car doctor,

524
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:42,800
Speaker 1: We're coming back right after this. Welcome back. Running into

525
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 1: the car doctor. Let's go over Tom and Wisconsin. Oh five,

526
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:47,760
Speaker 1: buick Tom? What's going on? How are you? Yeah? I

527
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 1: got two thousand five three point eight and now now

528
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:56,040
Speaker 1: that the weather got cold, Um, if you started up outside,

529
00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:58,560
Speaker 1: there's some engine noise that you can hear in the house.

530
00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:02,760
Speaker 1: It's that loud no I had two different mechanics, and

531
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:05,280
Speaker 1: one said he eliminated all the extras, so I assume

532
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 1: he took the serpentine belt off and it's still made

533
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:12,480
Speaker 1: the noise, and the other mechanics says, well drive until

534
00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:16,400
Speaker 1: it don't drive anymore, you know, so the first question

535
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:17,920
Speaker 1: is we gotta make sure that the mechanic did he

536
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:21,080
Speaker 1: take the belt off all right? Just you know, because

537
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:22,640
Speaker 1: that was gonna be my first go to. If we

538
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:25,200
Speaker 1: take the belts off and it's still making the noise, verify, yes,

539
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:28,600
Speaker 1: it's internal in the motor. If the if the vehicle

540
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:31,400
Speaker 1: warms up, if I'm sorry, if the engine, if the

541
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:34,640
Speaker 1: outside tempt goes above thirty five, the noise goes away.

542
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:39,120
Speaker 1: The noise is much much quieter. It's still there, but

543
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:43,680
Speaker 1: you got to listen to hear it top of the motor,

544
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:46,480
Speaker 1: bottom of the motor, front, back, at any direction. I

545
00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:50,480
Speaker 1: can't really tell it. Just does it change when you

546
00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:56,640
Speaker 1: put it in gear? Nope, you own the Carson's now, No.

547
00:29:57,240 --> 00:30:00,720
Speaker 1: I just bought it for my grandson. Okay, uh, well

548
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:04,320
Speaker 1: now you know why they sold it. So um, I

549
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:07,080
Speaker 1: bought it this summer and there was no noise. Now

550
00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:11,600
Speaker 1: that now that it's got out, the noise is there.

551
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:14,600
Speaker 1: So I don't know if if the noise was there

552
00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:17,680
Speaker 1: last winter or not. I'm just thinking this is somehow

553
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:23,920
Speaker 1: oil or lubrication related. And my concern is, you know,

554
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:26,080
Speaker 1: do we have an oil pressure problem with this engine

555
00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:28,720
Speaker 1: that we're not able to see. You probably don't have

556
00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:30,600
Speaker 1: a gauge. It probably has a light or does this

557
00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:33,360
Speaker 1: have a gauge? Do you know it's got a light.

558
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:36,520
Speaker 1: I wonder if we looked at oil pressure where oil

559
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 1: pressure is just to see is it at spec you know,

560
00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:42,360
Speaker 1: is this is this a low oil pressure condition? Have

561
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:46,080
Speaker 1: you changed the oil since you've owned it? Do any

562
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:48,600
Speaker 1: common did he get any commentary or feedback on what

563
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:53,760
Speaker 1: the oil looked like? You know, dirty beat And I'm

564
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:56,520
Speaker 1: just you know, just phrasing a dirty beat up, sludgy,

565
00:30:56,600 --> 00:31:00,520
Speaker 1: varnishy um. You know, I've seen a you of these

566
00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:03,360
Speaker 1: three eights as they get older, if they haven't had

567
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:06,719
Speaker 1: great oil change maintenance, that they start to show it

568
00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:09,760
Speaker 1: with age, especially as temperatures drop. And that's what I'm

569
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:13,400
Speaker 1: concerned about here. So let's do this in steps. Let's

570
00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:15,640
Speaker 1: make sure let's never assume, because it's a dirty word

571
00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:18,000
Speaker 1: on radio end in order to repair. Let's make sure

572
00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:20,000
Speaker 1: the mechanic pulled the belt off and it's still made

573
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:21,960
Speaker 1: the noise, and then we know it is internal in

574
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:25,360
Speaker 1: the engine. And then after that, then let's do an

575
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:27,719
Speaker 1: oil pressure test. Let's do an oil sample. What does

576
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:30,960
Speaker 1: the oil look like. For that matter, you could take

577
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:33,400
Speaker 1: some oil out as a sample on the next oil

578
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:34,920
Speaker 1: change and send it out to one of the labs.

579
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:36,840
Speaker 1: And here's a reason to use one of the labs.

580
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:38,920
Speaker 1: I've never been a fan of it, but they will

581
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:41,880
Speaker 1: come back and tell you what percentage of what metals

582
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:44,240
Speaker 1: are found in that oil, and then you might be

583
00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:47,120
Speaker 1: able to make a determination is the engine actually coming apart?

584
00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:49,920
Speaker 1: You know, I'm not I'm not proposing to fix it.

585
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:53,520
Speaker 1: But my concern as you're in Wisconsin, it's not exactly spring,

586
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:55,640
Speaker 1: and we're gonna let your grandson drive it, and we

587
00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:57,800
Speaker 1: don't want to get them stuck somewhere in a snowstorm

588
00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:01,120
Speaker 1: and have engine failure and then you know, obviously that's

589
00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:05,320
Speaker 1: a problem for his safety. That's that's my bigger concern. Okay, yeah,

590
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:10,160
Speaker 1: somewhere what if we change the oil and put like

591
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:15,840
Speaker 1: a synthetic oil in that I mean, I mean, would

592
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:19,880
Speaker 1: that help the problem? Or listen, it's it's it's it's

593
00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:23,760
Speaker 1: it's not a tattoo. It can't hurt to try, all right. Uh,

594
00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:26,000
Speaker 1: you know, you could go to a maybe a thicker viscosity,

595
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:28,600
Speaker 1: a little bit of a heavier weight might might compromise

596
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:31,160
Speaker 1: something else. But at this stage in the game, it

597
00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:32,960
Speaker 1: doesn't sound like we're gonna get a lot of longevity

598
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:36,920
Speaker 1: out of this anyway. Uh So, you know, back to

599
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:39,440
Speaker 1: the original thought, Let's do oil pressure, Let's make sure

600
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:41,360
Speaker 1: the belt has been pulled, Let's do an oil sample,

601
00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:42,959
Speaker 1: and then maybe we want to you know, if it's

602
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:44,440
Speaker 1: a five twenty oil and you want to go to

603
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:47,640
Speaker 1: a five thirty or a ten thirty um or put

604
00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:51,400
Speaker 1: you know, there are various oil viscosity enhancers out there

605
00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:54,360
Speaker 1: in the marketplace. Try one, see if it makes a difference.

606
00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:57,080
Speaker 1: It can't hurt. You know. It's like it's like hanging

607
00:32:57,080 --> 00:32:58,760
Speaker 1: a picture around the house with my wife and she

608
00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 1: looks at and she goes, feel like it there. Yeah,

609
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:04,040
Speaker 1: I can always spackle the hole and move the nail. Um.

610
00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:05,880
Speaker 1: You know, it's not a big deal. You can always

611
00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:09,040
Speaker 1: do something else and try a different method. Tom. It's

612
00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:11,080
Speaker 1: not gonna hurt. You're not doing anything permanent because there

613
00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:15,120
Speaker 1: may be damage already compecia. So but you know what

614
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:18,080
Speaker 1: the what the heavy noise that that is there, it

615
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:21,960
Speaker 1: still performs good right well, like I said, until you

616
00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:25,040
Speaker 1: run some of these tests and then and and noises

617
00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:27,920
Speaker 1: are hard on radio. Um, do what you do? What

622
00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:48,560
Speaker 1: Welcome back right an end of the car Doctor. We're

623
00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:50,800
Speaker 1: rolling along as we get rid of wind down this hour.

624
00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:54,800
Speaker 1: Bob and Nebraska, you're up next. What's going on? Well,

625
00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:58,200
Speaker 1: I just thought i'd make a comment on that first

626
00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:02,720
Speaker 1: state on your show. I was never a mechanic. I

627
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:05,360
Speaker 1: was one of those backyard mechanics. But I as I

628
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:08,320
Speaker 1: got barried and I had children, all three of my

629
00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:11,960
Speaker 1: children worked on their cars. I have two boys and

630
00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:16,160
Speaker 1: one girl up seventy seven years old. And I was

631
00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:18,680
Speaker 1: always pretty tichnical, and I had a lot of friends

632
00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:21,200
Speaker 1: were mechanics and stuff, you know, back in that day,

633
00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:24,480
Speaker 1: and it was just a thing that had to happen

634
00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:28,319
Speaker 1: at my house or you just didn't drive. Well, let

635
00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:29,719
Speaker 1: me ask you this question, how do any of your

636
00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:33,600
Speaker 1: kids have kids? Oh? Yeah, I had. It's the same

637
00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:37,759
Speaker 1: things were there because they were they were they were

638
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:41,239
Speaker 1: trained to repair the car, and it's being passed on

639
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:44,600
Speaker 1: generation the generation. And my point, in my thought and

640
00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:47,839
Speaker 1: my fear is that the generation that leaveses a car

641
00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:50,840
Speaker 1: that doesn't have to work on the car passes that

642
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:54,359
Speaker 1: down to the next generation and we're gonna lose the

643
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:57,600
Speaker 1: thought process on repairing a car as a result. I

644
00:34:57,600 --> 00:34:59,520
Speaker 1: appreciate your thoughts, Bob. Thanks and have a great rest

645
00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:01,280
Speaker 1: of the weekend. I'm running in of the car Doctor

646
00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:05,120
Speaker 1: reminding you whom mechanics aren't expensive, they're priceless. See you
