1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,520
Speaker 1: Ron and Anian Tony got on the train in Brooklyn

2
00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:05,760
Speaker 1: and honest to God, only it will not only in

3
00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:09,600
Speaker 1: New York. Some crazy guy was walking the tracks, challenging

4
00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:12,719
Speaker 1: the train to a bullfight. Yeah, well, next time, put

5
00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:14,960
Speaker 1: your clothes on when you do that. I hope anybody

6
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 1: did recognize me the Car Doctor. I'm how I used

7
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:29,680
Speaker 1: to send the data. I pop the detail Jack here,

8
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:32,760
Speaker 1: just how you said. Yeah, yeah, just just just play

9
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:34,479
Speaker 1: with it. I mean, you're not gonna break it. It's

10
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:37,159
Speaker 1: already broken. You can't break it anymore. Welcome to the

11
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:40,560
Speaker 1: radio home of Ron and Anian the Car Doctor. Since

21
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 1: Car Doctor out on Facebook and if you need me

22
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:18,320
Speaker 1: during the week, it's some round at Car Doctors Show

23
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 1: dot com. Um, I'll tell you what I'm I can't

24
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 1: get away from this book by Dr Richard McCann, Classic

25
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 1: Car Adventures. I've been reading it all week. They you

26
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 1: know the pictures of the exotics, thirty five Dusenberg A

27
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 1: thirty seven chord. Uh, you know some of the cars

28
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 1: that they talk about, and then American muscle cars because

29
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 1: over in Europe, Uh, it's it's the next big thing,

30
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 1: right um. And and some of the cars are just

31
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 1: just you know, wow, what the heck is that? Like?

32
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 1: I don't recognize everything. Um, but I will tell you

33
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 1: this this hour. Dr McCann has been generous enough. We're

34
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 1: going to be giving away a copy of Classic Car Adventures.

35
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 1: You can find that out on Amazon, you know obviously

36
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 1: Amazon dot com. Um, just look for Classic Car Adventures

37
00:01:57,920 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 1: Richard mccam. BUTILL be giving away a copy of that,

38
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 1: uh this hour, so I stick around. Maybe you're the

39
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 1: lookie caller. Decision of the judges, Tom and Tony is

40
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 1: final as always, UM, a real quick conversation now you

41
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:10,639
Speaker 1: know what. I'll save the conversation for later because the

42
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 1: phones are backed up and Tom will be upset if

43
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:14,639
Speaker 1: we don't get some of these calls off the board.

44
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:17,079
Speaker 1: Let's go and talk to Tom. Must be a relative

45
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:20,079
Speaker 1: in Wisconsin, Oh six Ford explorer Tom. Welcome to the

46
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 1: car doctor, Sir, how can I help? Yeah, and I

47
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 1: gotta issue. UM, I'm overheating. Um very intermitted. It'll go

48
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:38,640
Speaker 1: up to the extreme hot uh fairly quickly. I got

49
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 1: a laser temperature UM thermometer and as soon as it happens,

50
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 1: that pull over and I shoot it and it's like

51
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 1: one sixty. I hit the radiator, I hit the thermostat housine,

52
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 1: I hit the block. UM, I don't think it's getting hot, right,

53
00:02:55,840 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 1: it's the gauge is wrong. But it does go right.

54
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 1: The gage goes right. The hot it'll de rate, uh

55
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 1: you know, the it'll it'll shut everything down, full over.

56
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 1: And I just shut it off for about two minutes,

57
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:13,519
Speaker 1: turn back on the gauges right at normal and off

58
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 1: I go, yeah, yeah, and and and the reason is

59
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 1: is because the computer thinks it's overheating, so it's shutting

60
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 1: the car down. I would I would venture to guess

61
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 1: if you looked at this with a scan tool, you

62
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 1: will likely see the temperature spike and all of a

63
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 1: sudden climb well over two hundred forty degrees, and you

64
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 1: know it would probably happen very quickly Tony's back. It

65
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 1: would happen very very quickly. Uh. You know, it would

66
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 1: be a great it would be a great thing to

67
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 1: see on a graph. What's likely failing here, Tom, is

68
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 1: the cylinder head temperature sensor located in the driver's side

69
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 1: front corner of the cylinder head, sort of under the

70
00:03:56,240 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 1: intake plenum. You have to, yeah, sort of under your

71
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 1: sort of have to take out the alternator to see it. Um,

72
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 1: it's it's there's gonna be uh, I believe it's a

73
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 1: is it a one or a two wire? It's the

74
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 1: only one coming out the side of the head under

75
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 1: under the intake on the left side of memory serves

76
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 1: me correct, And you know a lot of failures very

77
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 1: intermittent in nature. Obviously I'll check the connections or the

78
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 1: connections good, or the connections where they're supposed to be.

79
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 1: And you know, sometimes, like Captain Kirk said, the spot

80
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 1: give me your best guess, and you know it's it's

81
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,839
Speaker 1: it's not an expensive component. You know, I'm thinking it's

82
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 1: twenty bucks at your local Rileyoto parts and you know,

83
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 1: good to go down the road and and you know

84
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 1: that should do it for you. Um, you can even

85
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 1: probably look it up online, get out to a Rileyoto

86
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 1: dot com and I'm sure you'll find it on their website.

87
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 1: But you're you're looking for what they call a c

88
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:55,720
Speaker 1: HT or a cylinder head temperature sensor, and that actually

89
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 1: is the coolant tempt censor on that vehicle. Just to

90
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 1: clarify now, there there is no cool And you know,

91
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,480
Speaker 1: you wonder what goes through the engineer's minds, right, like,

92
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 1: what are they thinking? They get us used to looking

93
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,720
Speaker 1: for this part. We're not gonna use it anymore. We're

94
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 1: gonna create something totally different. We'll give them this to

95
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 1: look for. Um, oh yeah, I'm gonna looking for it

96
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 1: right next to the smostat housing. But it's not there.

97
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 1: You're being logical again. Um, you gotta you gotta stop this.

98
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:28,719
Speaker 1: You know it's it's and you were probably a small

99
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:31,119
Speaker 1: block forward or a small block chevy guy in high school.

100
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:34,839
Speaker 1: I can tell um. Yeah, Um, you know, it's funny

101
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:36,600
Speaker 1: every time somebody makes that comment to me. I was

102
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 1: looking for the tempt censor by the thermostat housing. I

103
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 1: know they're an old school guy because that's where they

104
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 1: always were, and then they finally moved them out to

105
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:46,720
Speaker 1: the front of the cylinder head uh many years later. Um.

106
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 1: But you know, it's it's it's just interesting the things

107
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 1: you pick up from people to comments they make. Um.

108
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 1: But in any event, that's where I would start with this. Alright,

109
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 1: So so thank you much, You're very welcome. You have

110
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,280
Speaker 1: a good rest of the day. So let's go talk

111
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 1: to Joyce, New Hampshire or four Honda Element and some

112
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 1: air conditioning problems. Hey Joyce, how are we doing good?

113
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:09,359
Speaker 1: How are you good? What's going on? Um? I have

114
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 1: a two thousandfol Honda Element and the air conditioning always

115
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:17,039
Speaker 1: works great. And then one day it's not cool anymore.

116
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,679
Speaker 1: It's just flows warm as you know. The day before

117
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 1: was great, and the next day it's just warm head.

118
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 1: Then I look on you know, Coop and all the stuff,

119
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:30,239
Speaker 1: and they asked to check the relay, the air conditioning relay,

120
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 1: So I change it to a different relay to make

121
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 1: sure it's the relay. We change it to a different

122
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 1: one and still below warm head, so it's not the relay.

123
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:42,360
Speaker 1: Then I thought maybe elite, so I try to charge

124
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 1: it and then but then then we tried to put

125
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 1: the charge charge it on and it's like you know,

126
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 1: like way over in the red. So that means he's

127
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 1: not leaking, so the pressure is good. Then then I

128
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:55,360
Speaker 1: don't know what else to check. Now, well, you know,

129
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:57,840
Speaker 1: if if it will assume a little bit, but if

130
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 1: if it's got the correct amount of refrigerat in it

131
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 1: and it's not a relay issue, you know, it could

132
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 1: still be an electrical problem, either through empowering the relay

133
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 1: or down to the A C compressor. What I would

134
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 1: do if if I'm trying to troubleshoot this, if I

135
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 1: don't have access to information, if your mechanic or whoever

136
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 1: is helping you work on this, if you go down

137
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 1: to the A C compressor clutch, you're going to see

138
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 1: um two wires coming out of the harness. One is

139
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 1: going to be the ground back to the compressor body itself.

140
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 1: The other is going to be the feed going over

141
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 1: to the compressor clutch. I would check four hot to

142
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 1: the compressor clutch itself. I put a voltmeter on it somehow,

143
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 1: or follow the harness up tap into the wire somewhere

144
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 1: else where it's easier to get to. When you turn

145
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 1: the A C on. Does the voltmeter show voltage? If

146
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 1: the voultmeter. If the voltmeter shows voltage and ground is ground,

147
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 1: you have to check the ground. Then you know you've

148
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 1: got power. You've got ground. It's an electrical device. If

149
00:07:56,200 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 1: the compressor is not kicking on, it's probably a compress

150
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:03,559
Speaker 1: sure clutch issue, which would not be uncommon on these cars.

151
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 1: They the Hondas, the Elements, the civics, uh, the crvs,

152
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 1: they all tend to beat up compressors. They c compressors,

153
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 1: and you know you've got to look at the compressor clutch.

154
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 1: But I've got to tell you, in the majority of cases,

155
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 1: here's a car, that's what and oh four, how many

156
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 1: how many miles are on it? Right? You know most

157
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 1: people are going to do a compressor as a unit.

158
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's gonna to do no, it requires it

159
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 1: requires compressor removal. And you know, at that stage, at

160
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:41,840
Speaker 1: this mileage, you know where are we going. By the

161
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 1: time you get it out of the car, you might

162
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 1: as will put a compressor in it. But let's not. Oh,

163
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 1: I bet you a new compressor for that car is

164
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:53,599
Speaker 1: seven as a guests. Off the top of my head,

165
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 1: I try not to be. I try not to be

166
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:57,199
Speaker 1: a part store in my head. I got enough to

167
00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:00,320
Speaker 1: remember um when it comes to pricing. But you know,

168
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 1: check your local Oreilly to parts see what they've got.

169
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 1: But by all means, let's not just jump the gun

170
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:08,720
Speaker 1: and and you know, just change apart. Let's diagnose it.

171
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:11,200
Speaker 1: Let's see do we have power and ground you know,

172
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 1: car components are It's just like trying to diagnose a

173
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:17,080
Speaker 1: bad light bulb. Do you have power? Do you have

174
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:19,320
Speaker 1: control at the switch. If you do, then the bulb

175
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:20,839
Speaker 1: is bad. But we've got to make sure that we've

176
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 1: chested that circuit first, So have someone test the circuit.

177
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 1: You could also if they wanted to go win with

178
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 1: a scan tool and look in through the body controller

179
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 1: and when you turn the A C on, does it

180
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 1: show the request go from nobody yes or on to

181
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 1: off or off to on. However, they're gonna word it

182
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 1: and prove that the command is being given, just the

183
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 1: operative isn't being carried out, and then at that point

184
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 1: go out and look at voltage to um. You know.

185
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:50,320
Speaker 1: So there's a bunch of ways to attack this. It's

186
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 1: not really complicated or hard to diagnose. It just takes

187
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:56,560
Speaker 1: a little thought and some careful looking. All right, okay,

188
00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:58,560
Speaker 1: thank you, you're very welcome. You let me know what happens.

189
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:01,680
Speaker 1: You take good care. Five five zero nine zero zero.

190
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 1: The car doctors coming back right after this need advice

191
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 1: on how to maintain that classic g t O. Ron

192
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 1: is the guy five five five zero nine zero zero.

193
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 1: Here's Ron. You know, I think I really liked the

194
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 1: chapter Corvette in Richard McCann Classic Car Adventures. The way

195
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:31,679
Speaker 1: he writes, I could hardly hear the man shouting at

196
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 1: me above the sound of the beach boys at maximum

197
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 1: volume from the eight track player. An eight track player,

198
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:38,959
Speaker 1: remember eight tracks, and the mighty woffle of his three

199
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,199
Speaker 1: fifty cubic ins V eight. The author writes, I was

200
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:42,959
Speaker 1: twelve years old and about a mile into a six

201
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,200
Speaker 1: mile welcome, having missed the bus. In common with most

202
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 1: of the kids my age, I spent the last eight

203
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:49,680
Speaker 1: years of my life hearing the message never except lists

204
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 1: from strangers. But surely that warning didn't apply to this stranger.

205
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 1: He was young, he was American. He was driving a

206
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 1: brand new Chevrolet Corvettes. Thing right, I guess that's sort

207
00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:59,320
Speaker 1: of let's the guy off the hook, right. He then

208
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 1: goes on to point doubt how this car was one

209
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 1: of the original C three Mako Sharks, and um he

210
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,319
Speaker 1: took him home. The sound of the beach boys was

211
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 1: too much to talk over. The driver seemed totally disinterested

212
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:11,079
Speaker 1: in me, lying back in the bucket seat, the road

213
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 1: reflecting in his sunglasses, and the oh so longhood of

214
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 1: the vet protruding way out in front of me. I

215
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 1: sat low, and the heavily curved fenders protruder either side.

216
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 1: The sensation of power and speed was intoxicating. He's describing

217
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 1: what happened to me. I was sixteen, walking down uh

218
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 1: one of the dark country roads on the way home

219
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 1: at the time from the gas station job I had

220
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 1: and up pulled brick. Howk Rick had Rick was a

221
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:36,079
Speaker 1: legend in the area at the time. He had an

222
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:41,320
Speaker 1: original tripower vet. All right, I mean it was the

223
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 1: real deal, And um, hey, Ron, you want to ride? Sure,

224
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 1: jumped in the car. I never did a hundred two

225
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 1: miles an hour on that road before, and don't think

226
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 1: I ever have, and don't think I ever will. But

227
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:52,840
Speaker 1: in the rush of the dark ten thirty at night.

228
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 1: Just it was intoxicating, just like Richard McCann rights here.

229
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 1: It seemed like seconds before we entered the little town

230
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:02,560
Speaker 1: where I lived, and we weren't slowing down. Excuse me,

231
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 1: I said, Nothing came out. Hello, I shouted the driver,

232
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:06,800
Speaker 1: turn to me, this is it, Yes, sir, thank you.

233
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 1: We pulled over, leaned across because I was too flushed

234
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 1: to locate the doorcatch. I got out, still dazed, not

235
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 1: wanting this to end so long. Buddy tipped his finger

236
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 1: to his forehead, just like Steve McQueen, and with that

237
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:20,200
Speaker 1: he was gone. Um, just the descript but you can

238
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 1: see it right, and everybody can remember their first ride

239
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:25,679
Speaker 1: in a muscle car. And UM, I just love the

240
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:27,559
Speaker 1: way he wrote this. So we're giving this copy of

241
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:30,559
Speaker 1: this book away this hour. Richard McCann Classic Car Adventures.

242
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 1: Great book. Let's go to the phone's Jerry, Watertown, New York,

243
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 1: O five Chrysler Town and Country. How can I help

244
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:39,839
Speaker 1: you today? Jerry? What's going on? Hello? Yes, sir, thank you,

245
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 1: You're welcome. Yes, I was, I was driving. We could

246
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 1: go yesterday. And the right half staff, the right access

247
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 1: yaff came out of differential. Yeah yeah, and I was

248
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 1: able to put it in reverse a few times, maybe

249
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:57,080
Speaker 1: the thing over the road a while, but eventually, of

250
00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:00,160
Speaker 1: course I had to have a coat home. Yeah, um,

251
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:03,560
Speaker 1: outer the part of me, the outer boot has been broken.

252
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:08,079
Speaker 1: But I did not notice any excessive vibration. But possible

253
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:13,680
Speaker 1: that's the problem the wears and that outer joint. Well, um,

254
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:17,319
Speaker 1: if it popped out of the differential, I'm more inclined

255
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:21,839
Speaker 1: to think that the little clip that was there was

256
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 1: was more. Is the clips still there? I don't know.

257
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:31,080
Speaker 1: I haven't, I haven't taken it out yet. Still still

258
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:34,559
Speaker 1: needs attention, right, You know, sometimes that inner clip there's

259
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 1: just a little circlip or a sea clip, just a

260
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 1: spring loaded round wire clip that sits on the end

261
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:43,600
Speaker 1: of that stub shift. And I've seen more than a

262
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 1: few where the side gear gets a little bit aware

263
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:48,439
Speaker 1: in it and the actual you know, it's constantly pounding

264
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 1: back and forth, back and forth, back and forth, and

265
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 1: eventually it just and it pops it out. Did you

266
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 1: lose a lot of did you lose a lot of fluid? Oh? Yes,

267
00:13:56,559 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 1: oh yes, definitely definitely lost stuff lost. Yeah, that was

268
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 1: one of the reasons the vehicle wanting transmission want to

269
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:08,320
Speaker 1: gauge because how many how many miles on the car

270
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 1: Jerry it's around it's around a hundred thousand or something

271
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 1: like that. I would I would pay real careful attention

272
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 1: looking at the axle. Chances are you'll be able to

273
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 1: pop it back in. But I bet if you pull

274
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 1: hard enough on that on that axle flans just by hand,

275
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 1: I bet you can pop it back out again. Um.

276
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 1: And and you're sort of obligated to at least try

277
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 1: an axle because listen, it's either the axle or the differential,

278
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 1: Which which which which piece? Do you want to guess? Um?

279
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 1: You know one's one's a hundred bucks or less, the

280
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 1: other one is substantially more. And you know at this

281
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:49,200
Speaker 1: mileage now. And that's not to say that the outer

282
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 1: joint didn't bind, as you pointed out, Um, didn't bind

283
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 1: and somehow pull it out. Maybe you went on a

284
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 1: turn left or right and you caught it at the

285
00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 1: right moment and under the right the rest and bang

286
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 1: it popped out. The key will be if it repeats.

287
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 1: If it repeats, If it repeats, then you've got to

288
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:10,480
Speaker 1: think that it's in the side gear. One note of

289
00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 1: caution when you when you get the new axle absolutely

290
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 1: positively compressed the joints from both ends. Measure the old axle,

291
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 1: measure the new axle. Make sure they're the same length. Okay, Okay,

292
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 1: I replaced Go ahead, pardon me. I've replaced lots of

293
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 1: these in the past. I'm very familiar with this vehicle.

294
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 1: I've got four of these vehicles, and I can I

295
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 1: work on them constantly. But this is the first time

296
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:42,560
Speaker 1: I've had one that did this to me. I've just

297
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 1: I've just had Chrysler. Is this the original axle in

298
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:47,360
Speaker 1: the card? You know? I don't think so. No, I

299
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 1: don't think it's the original one. How long do you

300
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 1: think it's been in there? How long you've been driving it? Oh?

301
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:55,760
Speaker 1: I bought this vehicle the sixty three thousand, but I

302
00:15:55,800 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 1: can't remember exactly. It's four or five years when I

303
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 1: replaced that shaft. I really don't know. It's it's four

304
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:06,320
Speaker 1: or five years. It's in there. It's not like you

305
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 1: just did this two weeks ago, not two weeks ago. No,

306
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 1: the front end was a line about two weeks before

307
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 1: this happened. But and I replaced earlier, earlier lower front

308
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 1: engine mount But I thought maybe the suspension possibly was

309
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 1: shifting on it some way, but hopefully not that tragically. Yeah,

310
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 1: I can't see that. I've never seen that, and I

311
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 1: don't I don't see how it could. Something would have

312
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 1: to physically be loose or or completely wiped out, because

313
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 1: that's a heck of a distance and a lot of load,

314
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 1: and I would think you would have noticed a great

315
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 1: deal of changing the handling characteristics of the vehicle. So

316
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna lean more towards the axle and the clip itself.

317
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 1: You may find the end of the axle is broken,

318
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 1: or you may find the clip is missing, which means

319
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:55,560
Speaker 1: it's inside the differential itself. It'll end up getting chewed up,

320
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 1: and you know that you can fish around in there

321
00:16:57,880 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 1: with a magnet to see if you can get it out.

322
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna lean more on the axle than uh,

323
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:05,720
Speaker 1: than I do the vehicle. Hey, Jerry, I'll tell you what.

342
00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 1: the axle. UM, measure it. Make sure it's fully you know,

343
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 1: compressed when you do it, and you know, measure it up.

344
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:08,520
Speaker 1: And just because I've seen Chrysler, Chrysler likes to play

345
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:12,200
Speaker 1: games with axles, and I've seen in the axle manufacturers

346
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:14,920
Speaker 1: where they'll tell you this is it and it's not. UM.

350
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:24,960
Speaker 1: down the line. And uh, you know that creates an issue,

351
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:26,760

362
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:14,200

372
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:46,399
Speaker 1: can kind of go from there. I thought just popped

373
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:48,040
Speaker 1: into my head. I don't know why, but I'm wondering

374
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 1: if anybody can call in from the caroline is maybe

375
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:53,439
Speaker 1: I want to have electricity, I wonder. I'm wondering how

376
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:55,399
Speaker 1: the roads are down there. I've been talking to a

377
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:57,080
Speaker 1: bunch of people this week. They're getting ready to take

378
00:19:57,119 --> 00:20:00,439
Speaker 1: some road trips down I forty and UM, you know,

379
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 1: floods and whatnot. Yes, Mr Roy, I'm heading in that

380
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 1: direction on Monday. And what I've been told is, UH,

381
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:11,239
Speaker 1: if you're heading east of Raleigh on I fort you

382
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:15,720
Speaker 1: you're gonna have problems. There are parts that are washed out. Uh.

383
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 1: And I did talk to uh a company called Wheatstone

384
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:23,239
Speaker 1: Corporation that makes broadcast equipment. They're located in newbern right

385
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:26,760
Speaker 1: on the water. Luckily they're on a high place. But UM,

386
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:30,439
Speaker 1: here's a sobering thought for you about the people who

387
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 1: worked there have no place to go home to. They

388
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:38,240
Speaker 1: lost their homes. So that's crazy. That's crazy. Someone I

389
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:41,359
Speaker 1: know is on their way to the Outer Banks this week,

390
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:44,199
Speaker 1: and she was talking to me and asked me, you

391
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:46,399
Speaker 1: know what, I said, I g I don't know. I

392
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:48,560
Speaker 1: also did caution her because she's gonna take the Chesapa

393
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:52,840
Speaker 1: the Chesapeake Bay Bridge. I hate that bridge. I can't

394
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 1: you know that bridge? You know, the Chesapeake Bay Bridge

395
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:59,120
Speaker 1: is twenty seven miles across. Did you know this that's

396
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:02,520
Speaker 1: the one that's in uh that between Virginia and Maryland. Correct, Yeah,

397
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 1: that one's probably okay, but but yeah, it's it's an

398
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:07,960
Speaker 1: interesting thing because you have a lot three bridges and

399
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:09,919
Speaker 1: two tunnels you go through on the way. And my

400
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 1: problem is if you're halfway across and the bridge falls down,

401
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 1: you're thirteen miles from shore exactly. It's like, I mean,

402
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:19,760
Speaker 1: it's amazing because you're out there on the road and

403
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:23,480
Speaker 1: you look over and it's you and the ocean. You're

404
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 1: not swimming that baby, You're thirteen miles from land. Uh

405
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 1: boggles my mind. And I've I've done it twice and

406
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 1: I don't I don't care for it. I just not

407
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:34,840
Speaker 1: from me. Um. I want to take New Jersey Division

408
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:38,680
Speaker 1: of Motor Vehicles to task and you if you happen

409
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:41,520
Speaker 1: to do this all right. First, New Jersey Division of

410
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:44,439
Speaker 1: Motor Vehicles they about a year ago. Is the way

411
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:47,720
Speaker 1: it's explained to me. They've they've changed the inspection policy

412
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:51,440
Speaker 1: in New Jersey in that when we do motor vehicle inspections,

413
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 1: they want us to physically check which okay, I get it,

414
00:21:56,600 --> 00:22:00,200
Speaker 1: is it there, and click the gas cap click click

415
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:05,479
Speaker 1: click during the course of inspection. I don't know why

416
00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:07,560
Speaker 1: they want us to do this. If there was a

417
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 1: problem with the evaporative emission system, the dreaded gas cap

418
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:13,959
Speaker 1: light as everybody calls it, there would be a pending

419
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 1: code or a check engine light lit. I'm not sure

420
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 1: what the logic is, and personally I agree with the

421
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:22,359
Speaker 1: trainers that tell you don't touch the gas cap in

422
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:26,160
Speaker 1: the course of a diagnosis because you're trying to verify

423
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 1: system integrity. How well is the system sealed? Now you

424
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:35,200
Speaker 1: you the vehicle owner, check engine light comes on, show

425
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:37,199
Speaker 1: a hands mentally, how many of your running out there?

426
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:38,760
Speaker 1: The first thing you do is you check the gas cap.

427
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:41,360
Speaker 1: You turn it, click click click, click, and the light

428
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:43,680
Speaker 1: stays on. And then you call the mechanic and you say, hey,

429
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:46,480
Speaker 1: you know my check engine light came on I tried

430
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:48,639
Speaker 1: turning the gas cap. It didn't turn it out. First

431
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:52,560
Speaker 1: of all, all right, besides, it's wrong to turn the

432
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:54,639
Speaker 1: gas cap. Don't touch the gas cap through yourself, in

433
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:56,720
Speaker 1: your mechanic of favor. And I'll tell you why in

434
00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:59,199
Speaker 1: a minute. If you touch the gas cap and it

435
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:03,320
Speaker 1: happened to be loose, and it's set an evaporative emissions

436
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:06,960
Speaker 1: fault for a loose gas cap. The light doesn't go

437
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:11,120
Speaker 1: out automatically, folks. It's it's it's not like click the cap,

438
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:14,399
Speaker 1: tighten the cap and you know, start the car up

439
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:16,840
Speaker 1: and the lights out. It takes a series of self

440
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:22,880
Speaker 1: tests and running through very specific under exact conditions monitoring

441
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:25,639
Speaker 1: in order for the code to reset. It has to happen.

442
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:28,040
Speaker 1: It has to run its monitors two to three times,

443
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:31,720
Speaker 1: depending upon your making model a vehicle. You touching the

444
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:35,240
Speaker 1: gas cap, if you did happen to fix it now

445
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:38,160
Speaker 1: creates the condition where, okay, the light didn't go out.

446
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 1: McCauley mechanic can take it into him. You bring it

447
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:42,879
Speaker 1: into Ron. Ron looks at it and goes, hey, Tom,

448
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 1: the you know it's got a P zero four fifty

449
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 1: six small evapp leak. It could be the gas cap.

450
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 1: It could be a vent os, it could be a purge,

451
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:53,119
Speaker 1: it could be anything leaking. But I really don't know.

452
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:56,840
Speaker 1: There's there's, there's nothing here. Everything appears good, not knowing

453
00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:59,639
Speaker 1: that you inadvertently fixed it because you tighten the cap.

454
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:03,439
Speaker 1: Tightening and touching the gas cap, whether you're doing the

455
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 1: New Jersey motor vehicle inspection or trying to avoid the

456
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:09,840
Speaker 1: trip to the repair shop, you know what, you're doing

457
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:14,520
Speaker 1: yourself a large disservice because the mechanic won't be able

458
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:18,399
Speaker 1: to properly diagnose it. It makes his job harder, which

459
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:23,639
Speaker 1: in reality translates to more expensive for you. If the

460
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:26,560
Speaker 1: cap is off the attendant forgot to put the cap on,

461
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:29,639
Speaker 1: that's a different story. If the cap is visibly loose,

462
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:33,040
Speaker 1: that's a different story. When you touch the gas cap,

463
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:37,440
Speaker 1: be gentle, just you know, don't don't twist it like

464
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:39,800
Speaker 1: you're like you're trying to break walnuts. Be gentle with

465
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:41,480
Speaker 1: it and see if it gets to the first click.

466
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 1: But even touching it that much can can rock the

467
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:49,679
Speaker 1: apple cart. And the logic is, and I've said this,

468
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:51,439
Speaker 1: I had the motor vehicle in this week and I

469
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:54,280
Speaker 1: was talking to about it. You know. The logic is

470
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 1: the car is smart enough that it will run its monitor.

471
00:24:57,840 --> 00:24:59,879
Speaker 1: If there was a problem with the EVAPP system or

472
00:24:59,880 --> 00:25:02,399
Speaker 1: the gas cap, it would be it would turn on

473
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 1: the check engine light. You would see the fault displayed.

474
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:09,440
Speaker 1: Touching a gas cap for a check engine light defies

475
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:14,040
Speaker 1: every evaporative emissions class and instructor I've ever taken, and

476
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:16,680
Speaker 1: I've taken a few. Um the same my first day

477
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:20,480
Speaker 1: at the rodeo. As they say, and you're only creating

478
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 1: a bigger problem for yourself. Obvious is okay, I get it.

479
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:28,160
Speaker 1: Obvious isn't stay away from the cap and I'll leave

480
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:31,159
Speaker 1: it there. Um, real quick piece coming to us from

481
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:33,280
Speaker 1: the car here, Council. And this is also in line

482
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 1: with the inspection program. Expected a car this week that

483
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:41,040
Speaker 1: I had three bold tires and a break light that

484
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 1: was out. And the answer I got from the customer,

485
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:44,840
Speaker 1: I don't inspect the car, so I inspected it was

486
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:47,480
Speaker 1: it was. It was a drop in and I inspected

487
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 1: it and I said, by the way, you know you've

488
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:50,720
Speaker 1: got three out of the four tires are just about

489
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 1: down to the tread. Barnet needs a left rear break.

490
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:55,640
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, center high high mounted break light, the third

491
00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 1: break light as we call it, And the answer was, well,

492
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 1: I don't need the tires right now, wait until the

493
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:06,560
Speaker 1: snow comes. And I'm looking at the calendar going it's September. Um, okay,

494
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:08,439
Speaker 1: And I don't need a third break light because the

495
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:10,600
Speaker 1: other two are working. In my car before this didn't

496
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:12,040
Speaker 1: have a third break light and I didn't get a

497
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:15,360
Speaker 1: ticket for it, and that was okay. Or writing then

498
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:18,400
Speaker 1: if the car's got a third break light, it needs

499
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:20,359
Speaker 1: to be fixed. It needs to be working. From the

500
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:22,320
Speaker 1: Car Care Council, many drivers may feel and then I

501
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 1: saw this and I said, boy, this is absolutely right.

502
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:27,960
Speaker 1: But fees the Maryland. Many drivers feel that they don't

503
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:30,639
Speaker 1: have the time or money to address vehicle repairs immediately.

504
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:33,280
Speaker 1: But beware that ignoring some repairs can get you pulled

505
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:35,840
Speaker 1: over in ticket, it, says the Car Here Council. Ignoring

506
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:38,040
Speaker 1: certain vehicle repairs may seem to save money in the

507
00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 1: short term, but can lead to extra costs such as

508
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:43,040
Speaker 1: fines or fix it tickets if these problems are not

509
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 1: taking care of when the arrived, said Rich White, Executive

510
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:48,119
Speaker 1: director Car Care Council, and some jurisdictions, car owners may

511
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:50,679
Speaker 1: even lose their licenses for certain violations. A few dollars

512
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:53,639
Speaker 1: spent on simple vehicle repairs can help avoid trouble with

513
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:57,520
Speaker 1: the law. Um, you know, you've got to realize in states,

514
00:26:57,520 --> 00:26:58,960
Speaker 1: and I can tell you this from my experience in

515
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 1: New Jersey, but another eights where they've taken away safety

516
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:05,080
Speaker 1: as a requirement. New Jersey, there's no safety uh inspection

517
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:08,000
Speaker 1: on a non commercial vehicle. It's check engine light on

518
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:11,119
Speaker 1: though check engine light works. Yes, you're done. Um, you

519
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:14,359
Speaker 1: know the car passes inspection, driver's license, do doometer and

520
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:18,959
Speaker 1: some other basic things notwithstanding, but the issue becomes that

521
00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:22,080
Speaker 1: even though it's not part of inspection, it is still

522
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:26,159
Speaker 1: part of required by law. Failure to maintain is the

523
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:28,359
Speaker 1: title of the ticket you get. A failure to maintain

524
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:32,000
Speaker 1: ticket in New Jersey currently a hundred and seventy five

525
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:34,960
Speaker 1: bucks on most components. So you're gonna have to fix

526
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:37,239
Speaker 1: it and pay the fun. Um, you want to make

527
00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:39,560
Speaker 1: sure that you uh um, you want to make sure

528
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:41,719
Speaker 1: that you, you know, get this taken care of and

529
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:44,640
Speaker 1: uh um do the maintenance now. It's it's it's better

530
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:46,600

537
00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:18,760
Speaker 1: Right to Repair Act with the John Deer Tractors and

538
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:21,800
Speaker 1: you can find that online google John Dear John Deer

539
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:25,920
Speaker 1: Tractors Right to Repair Act. There's a paragraph in here

540
00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:29,040
Speaker 1: that UM talks about the National Grange, which is the

541
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:32,880
Speaker 1: the organization supporting the need for right to repair, meaning

542
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:35,000
Speaker 1: allowing people if you own it, you should be allowed

543
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:38,240
Speaker 1: to have information and access to properly repair it. In

544
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:40,120
Speaker 1: terms of a farm tractor, and I agree. In terms

545
00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:42,920
Speaker 1: of an automobile, it's it becomes a necessity, it becomes

546
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:47,640
Speaker 1: a matter of national security. UM. In addition, National Grange

547
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:50,239
Speaker 1: says we believe that in the absence of the Right

548
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:53,960
Speaker 1: to Repair Act, many individuals, both rural and urban would

549
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 1: likely put off important vehicle repairs and maintenance, jeopardizing their

550
00:28:57,560 --> 00:28:59,760
Speaker 1: safety and the safety of others on the road. I

551
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:03,400
Speaker 1: have to agree with that. When New Jersey did away

552
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:08,320
Speaker 1: with UH Safety and all my New Jersey listeners can

553
00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:10,240
Speaker 1: attest to this. How many cars do you sit behind

554
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:12,720
Speaker 1: that have one break light to break lights, missing a

555
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:16,200
Speaker 1: breake light altogether, or missing all the brake lights all together,

556
00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:20,880
Speaker 1: headlights that around, cracked wind shields, loud exhaust, rusted body panels,

557
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:24,480
Speaker 1: where where where it's it's like, it's just the the

558
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:26,840
Speaker 1: state has gone downhill in terms of the junk on

559
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:30,840
Speaker 1: the road, and it's just not good. People are not

560
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:34,520
Speaker 1: doing the maintenance that they need to do. It's also important,

561
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:37,920
Speaker 1: the article continues to note that our members often farm

562
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:40,640
Speaker 1: and ranch and remote locations where repair shops are just

563
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 1: not available days. Waiting on parts from dealers can mean

564
00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 1: missing crop target pricing, costing our members and agriculture a

565
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:49,200
Speaker 1: great deal of revenue. And who do you think is

566
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:52,720
Speaker 1: gonna pay for this in the long run, Because if

567
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:54,520
Speaker 1: all of a sudden the farmers are having a hard

568
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:59,440
Speaker 1: time surviving, isn't it a likely consideration? The government is

569
00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:02,360
Speaker 1: then going to assist the farmers to keep them going.

570
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:04,680
Speaker 1: And who do you think is gonna end up paying

571
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:07,200
Speaker 1: for it? The taxpayer, because they'll have to raise our

572
00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:09,120
Speaker 1: taxes in order to feed the farmer to get him

573
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:12,040
Speaker 1: going because he can't fix his tractor. I know it's

574
00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:14,680
Speaker 1: a stretch, folks, I know it's but you've got to

575
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:16,360
Speaker 1: you know, you've got to start to look down the

576
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:20,840
Speaker 1: road and see the pieces before they become the accident. Uh.

577
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:24,280
Speaker 1: You know, right to repair is a necessary form of

578
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:28,560
Speaker 1: enforcement to allow everybody equal and the chance to repair

579
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:32,160
Speaker 1: what they own. Look, there's no way, And I don't

580
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:34,480
Speaker 1: understand the greed part, although I guess greed is you know,

581
00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:37,280
Speaker 1: human nature. I know a few people like that that

582
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:44,320
Speaker 1: you need independent repair facilities tractor truck automobile, and you

583
00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:48,880
Speaker 1: need dealership tractor truck automobile repair facilities. There there's there's

584
00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 1: more than enough work for everybody to deal with. But

585
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:55,360
Speaker 1: trying to lock it down and control it, um doesn't

586
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:57,280
Speaker 1: make any sense to me. It's it's it's only going

587
00:30:57,320 --> 00:30:59,720
Speaker 1: to create a bigger issue. Um, I can tell you this.

588
00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:01,960
Speaker 1: I see a lot of people, Hey, your check engine

589
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:04,560
Speaker 1: lights on. Yeah, but the car runs all right. Um,

590
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:07,480
Speaker 1: you know it's it's it doesn't seem to be affecting it.

591
00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 1: So do I really need to fix it? Yeah? You

592
00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:12,640
Speaker 1: kind of do. And you know, here's why you got

593
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:14,880
Speaker 1: a vehicle with a check engine light on. I'll talk cars.

594
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:17,280
Speaker 1: I know a little bit about this. You got a

595
00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:20,720
Speaker 1: vehicle with a check engine light on, and you scan

596
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:23,560
Speaker 1: it and it's a P zero fifty two B. I

597
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:29,800
Speaker 1: had this problem just this week. I'm sorry, twenty Nissan

598
00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:33,720
Speaker 1: Rogue with a P zero fifty two B and take

599
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:38,960
Speaker 1: camp solenoid timing circuit failure. Say that three times fast.

600
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:42,440
Speaker 1: Turns out it was an intermittent fault, all right. The

601
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:44,160
Speaker 1: customer was like, well, let me just drive it. The

602
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:46,240
Speaker 1: check engine line pops on, the car doesn't change the

603
00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:49,840
Speaker 1: way it runs. It still runs okay. And his mindset

604
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:52,840
Speaker 1: was I don't need to do anything, and I, you know,

605
00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:55,280
Speaker 1: I explained to him the ramifications like I'm about to

606
00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:58,640
Speaker 1: explain to you. You don't fix this cam timing solenoid

607
00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:03,080
Speaker 1: circuit fault. Oh check engine lights on. Six months from now,

608
00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:07,400
Speaker 1: something else goes wrong, and you don't fix that because

609
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:09,760
Speaker 1: you don't know the difference. The check engine light is

610
00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:12,720
Speaker 1: still on and it's still the same brilliance. It doesn't

611
00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:16,120
Speaker 1: it doesn't change color and it doesn't increase luminosity. It

612
00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:20,479
Speaker 1: just stays on. A year goes by. Now you decide

613
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:22,360
Speaker 1: to get it fixed. You figure out that it's a

614
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:26,720
Speaker 1: cam timing solenoid. You change that clear the code, but

615
00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:29,240
Speaker 1: the secondary code that was created six months later just

616
00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:32,800
Speaker 1: because of age has to be dealt with. Two. And

617
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:36,840
Speaker 1: then here's the kicker. Cars today have blocker have a

618
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:40,560
Speaker 1: blocker mentality. After so many fault codes in so many areas,

619
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:46,160
Speaker 1: it stops testing components and starts to substitute known good values.

620
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:49,880
Speaker 1: So if component A fails and they can, you know,

621
00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:53,200
Speaker 1: make the vehicle run without having to return to the

622
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:58,480
Speaker 1: repair shop on software calculation, they'll do that. But the

623
00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:01,240
Speaker 1: problem is if you ever to get that vehicle repaired

624
00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:02,480
Speaker 1: to sell it, If you ever want to get that

625
00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:04,840
Speaker 1: vehicle repaired, because it has to go through a state

626
00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:07,640
Speaker 1: inspection somewhere, if you ever want to take that vehicle

627
00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:10,600
Speaker 1: on a long trip, where's your concern and what's the

628
00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:16,160
Speaker 1: liability and reliability factor? So you gotta fix the car

629
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:21,280
Speaker 1: right the repairs and necessary um uh uh concept that

630
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:24,240
Speaker 1: we need and um it's something that we really should create.

631
00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:26,480
Speaker 1: Call your call your local legislators, talk to them about

632
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:28,440
Speaker 1: right to repair as it affects all of us eight

633
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:32,480
Speaker 1: zero running in the car. Doctor coming back right after

634
00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:38,040
Speaker 1: this gocome back n't the end of the car doctor

635
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:41,640
Speaker 1: um a real quick, real fix, sure track fix from

636
00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:43,720
Speaker 1: the folks over at Mitchell one mitchell one dot com.

637
00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:46,360
Speaker 1: You would think malfunctioning park light would be an easy fix.

638
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:48,560
Speaker 1: You would think so, right, bad bulb, something like that.

639
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:51,520
Speaker 1: But the problem is not if someone else got there

640
00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:54,760
Speaker 1: first and installed the wrong part. Shut track community member

641
00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:56,640
Speaker 1: el car had a Lincoln MKZ or the left park

642
00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:58,960
Speaker 1: light didn't work. They posed the question of the community

643
00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:01,560
Speaker 1: and with their they're able to resolve the issue and

644
00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:04,800
Speaker 1: the fix actually reinforces the importance of installing the correct

645
00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:08,320
Speaker 1: electronic parts on today's vehicles. Vehicle in question today is

646
00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:11,799
Speaker 1: Lincoln MKZ with a three point seven leader engine, no

647
00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:16,480
Speaker 1: left park light operation installed, correct headlight assembly was. The

648
00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:19,040
Speaker 1: fix is the title and the complaint was no left

649
00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:23,000
Speaker 1: from park light operation And the cause the problem is

650
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:25,319
Speaker 1: the variety of the light assemblies. You're ready for this.

651
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:28,320
Speaker 1: How many light assembly variations do you think there are?

652
00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:32,239
Speaker 1: On Lincoln MKZ three. You can have lights with signature,

653
00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:37,360
Speaker 1: without signature, or decontented lighting. I think decontented lighting is

654
00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:40,520
Speaker 1: what tony is when the giants lose. Whether decontented always

655
00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:43,440
Speaker 1: means without signatures or not. I don't know. Decontented as

656
00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:46,160
Speaker 1: yellow park lamps and six terminals in the park lamp housing.

657
00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:48,719
Speaker 1: Non decontented have white l e D park lamps with

658
00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:52,719
Speaker 1: twelve terminals. There's no information for decontented lights in the

659
00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:55,319
Speaker 1: service manual or from fort see. This is typical of

660
00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:57,880
Speaker 1: what manufacturers do. They put parts on cars and then

661
00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:00,439
Speaker 1: nobody knows what they're from or how to diagnos because

662
00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:03,759
Speaker 1: the manufacture doesn't include information. Um let me see, I

663
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:07,040
Speaker 1: lost my place. There's no information. They use the same

664
00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:09,480
Speaker 1: circuit of the turn signal one and two and connected

665
00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:12,560
Speaker 1: one or two three top right the park lamp. This

666
00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:15,520
Speaker 1: particular person had de contented lights. If you replace the

667
00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:18,080
Speaker 1: headlight on a car with the lighting, he says, he

668
00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:20,920
Speaker 1: points out, you have to buy a second ballast that's updated,

669
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:23,359
Speaker 1: saying without signature lighting giving them the numbers and enough

670
00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:25,280
Speaker 1: on a vehicle that also has the yellow park lamps

671
00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:27,800
Speaker 1: that goes from multiple parts departments note in their computer

672
00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:31,239
Speaker 1: information they will also be overlooked. I verified the no

673
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:34,359
Speaker 1: park lamp that a pit or either system. Thanks again

674
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:37,000
Speaker 1: for looking into me. So basically what he's saying is

675
00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:40,279
Speaker 1: he had this link in MKZ and then found out

676
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:42,240
Speaker 1: after the fact that the body shop up the street

677
00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:45,520
Speaker 1: had recently installed the new headlamp as part of an

678
00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:49,320
Speaker 1: accident repair. They installed the wrong one and it didn't work.

679
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:52,640
Speaker 1: So sometimes fixing a car you've got to be a

680
00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:54,239
Speaker 1: little bit of detective where you gotta be a lot

681
00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:57,319
Speaker 1: of a detective. Go backwards and find out, Okay, did

682
00:35:57,360 --> 00:35:59,440
Speaker 1: anybody else work on it and from where and what

683
00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:01,840
Speaker 1: parts they put in. That's from the folks at mitchell

684
00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:03,919
Speaker 1: one mitchell one dot com this week's sure track fix

685
00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:05,560
Speaker 1: of the week. I'm running any in the car doctor

686
00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:08,600
Speaker 1: until the next time. Good mechanics aren't expensive, they're priceless.

687
00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:09,160
Speaker 1: See you
