1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,680
Speaker 1: Ron and Anian. It's nice to see that as the

2
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:08,200
Speaker 1: technology of the car improves and the difficulty, the degree

3
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:11,879
Speaker 1: of difficulty of repairing them goes up, the technology is

4
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:15,120
Speaker 1: actually being applied to help us find the repair pieces.

5
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:34,280
Speaker 1: Movie she lack the Car Doctor. Let me ask you

6
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:36,760
Speaker 1: the important question. What if Tom's wife wanted to do

7
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 1: she'd like a new car? How many years you married Tom?

8
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 1: For the years? Okay, you haven't learned, happy wife, happy life,

9
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:45,639
Speaker 1: Buy a new car. Get it over with. We're dog.

Speaker 1: all we ask. Um. I am Ronny and been doing

36
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 1: this so this isn't exactly my first day. I hate

37
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 1: to think of how long I have been doing it,

38
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 1: but I think we've been up here on radio, coming

39
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 1: up on seven years. I seen Mr Ray is moving

40
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 1: to the microphone for as we we. We kind of

41
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:12,799
Speaker 1: hate to think about how long you've been doing it too,

42
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 1: so you know, not a problem, you know, it's it's

43
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 1: it's funny time I think about how long I've been

44
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 1: I've been fixing cars and doing radio, and it just

45
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:22,639
Speaker 1: you know, it just sort of it's it's flown by,

46
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 1: and I think, you know, it's funny. I start thinking

47
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 1: about retirement dinners, because not that I haven't got any

48
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 1: any great visions anytime soon, but well, I think, you know,

49
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 1: it sort of goes with this story. So Cadillac DTS

50
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 1: came into the shop this week at Ore Automotive, and

51
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:43,119
Speaker 1: the problem was it was kind of strange, like I'm

52
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:46,080
Speaker 1: not used to seeing the strange ones. Right, The power

53
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 1: steering system had a wine to it. It sounded like

54
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 1: a politician complaining about election results. And no matter what

55
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 1: you did, it just wouldn't quiet down. Yeah, the power

56
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 1: steering system was low on fluid, and there was evidence

57
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 1: of fluids leakage around the engine compartment, but no place

58
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 1: could you pin it down on. I topped up the

59
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 1: reservoir a little bit. There was a little bit of

60
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 1: air in the system. I drove the car. The power

61
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 1: steering wine quieted down, but it was still there in

62
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 1: a large way. You just knew it wasn't going to

63
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 1: go away, and I let it sit for a day.

64
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 1: I had some time with the car, and you know,

65
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 1: I was trying to you know, you gotta get a

66
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:32,920
Speaker 1: feel for the repair. You've got to know where it's going. Mechanics,

67
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 1: intuition kicks in. Sometimes it's just it's just, you know,

68
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 1: it's like whatever you do for a living, whatever your

69
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 1: job is, you just have certain thoughts and energies that

70
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 1: you feel and you're just trying to, you know, put

71
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 1: them in a pigeonhole, get him in the cubbyhole, so

72
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 1: you can you know where am I going, what direction

73
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 1: am I taking? How am I going to solve this problem? Well,

74
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 1: the next morning I went out and I started the car,

75
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 1: and it had no power steering. It was you know,

76
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 1: a Model T had more power steer hering on it,

77
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 1: and this it just you know, you'd cranked the wheel

78
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 1: and it was just rock hard, just no steering assist whatsoever.

79
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 1: And I'm thinking, boy, isn't this strange Because I didn't

80
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 1: tell you this part. The car is owned by an

81
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 1: eighty nine year old, little old lady. And I'm thinking,

82
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 1: unless he's got arms like gorgeous George that I can't see,

83
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 1: you know, this is something new developing, right, the power

84
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:22,839
Speaker 1: of steering system is it seems like it's failing. So

85
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:26,159
Speaker 1: I looked around again. I I saw a fluid, but

86
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 1: couldn't pin down exactly where it was coming from. It

87
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 1: just boy, you know, it just bothered me. Mechanics intuition said,

88
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 1: don't do anything. Parked the car another day, got into

89
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 1: the next day, started up, sure enough again no power assist,

90
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 1: and then the power of steering pump started buzzing and

91
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 1: started making noise. It had that hydraulic to it that

92
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 1: you're always here when when hydraulics are stressed. And I

93
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 1: checked the fluid level. Fluid level was good. It really

94
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 1: wasn't down, but there was clearly something going on. Well,

95
00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:00,480
Speaker 1: I had en up information. At this point, where do start?

96
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:02,840
Speaker 1: You gotta start at the beginning. You've always got to

97
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 1: go back to basics, Always go back to square one.

98
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,480
Speaker 1: There's only one thing I know of that will create

99
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 1: a no power assist condition in a power steering system.

100
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 1: Two things actually all right. One is we've got a

101
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 1: bad pump. Easy enough to assume, but you know, can

102
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,159
Speaker 1: we prove it in this case? No? But I did

103
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 1: have wine, I did have noise, I had all the

104
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:27,039
Speaker 1: indications of a pump failure. But I also had no

105
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:32,040
Speaker 1: power assist, which could also be a bad rack. And

106
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 1: general motors products being what they are, they've got more

107
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 1: morning sickness some days than maternity wards. And you know,

108
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 1: and then I looked and I did the little I

109
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:44,599
Speaker 1: did the little pin prick test where you take a

110
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:47,839
Speaker 1: little sharp all and you just, you know, down around

111
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 1: the bottom of the wet power steering rack bellows boot

112
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 1: on the right side, and sure enough to drop of

113
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 1: fluid came out. Uh huh. The rack is leaking. The

114
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 1: rack has a leak into the bellows. It needs a

115
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 1: rack well at this stage and mileage. It's eight years

116
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 1: old and it's got a fair share of mileage on it.

117
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 1: I like to do racks and pumps together, and the

118
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 1: reason being is if the rank has failed, usually it's

119
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 1: by contaminants, something has gotten in there, broken down pieces

120
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 1: of teflon, or starting to clog the systems as the

121
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 1: as the piston rings. There are piston rings and a

122
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 1: steering rack or rack seals um and you get into

123
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:28,279
Speaker 1: a pump. Let's do a pump and a rack together.

124
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 1: No better way to solve a pair of steering noise.

125
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 1: I've got pump wine, I've got rack failure. This system's

126
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 1: going down the drain. Put a rack in a pump

127
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:39,160
Speaker 1: in it right from g M. Well, actually it took

128
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:41,279
Speaker 1: a little bit more than that, because you know, we

129
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 1: talked about we talked about how things go wrong, and

130
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:48,599
Speaker 1: this job was dogging me all week. So whenever we

131
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,279
Speaker 1: order parts, we order them by VIN. All right. We

132
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 1: give the dealer the the eight the last day digits

133
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,280
Speaker 1: to the seventeen digit VIN, and we order the parts.

134
00:06:56,320 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 1: So the parts show up. Gee, this this doesn't look

135
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:04,360
Speaker 1: right this power steering pump, doesn't it Just maybe I'm

136
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 1: looking and you hold it and like you orientate it

137
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 1: and something doesn't look right here. That's just it's close.

138
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 1: But it's no cigars, you know, it's and it's got

139
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 1: to be right. It's not like being a little bit

140
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 1: pregnanty that you are. You're not right. So you know,

141
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 1: I call up and I talked to Parker up at

142
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 1: the dealer and I said, you know, and he says,

143
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 1: give me the last eight of the event again and

144
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 1: giving the last day of the event, and I said,

145
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 1: you know, in the last three digits or four three two,

146
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 1: and he goes four three two or four three seven.

147
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 1: I went, uh, you know, there's that mechanics intuition kicking

148
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 1: in again. You're like you hear the little bird in

149
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 1: the back of your voice, your head with the voice going.

150
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 1: So it turns out if if it's a seven instead

151
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 1: of a two, it now turns those parts into not

152
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 1: for Cadillac dts, but for a buck lescern. Well, that

153
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 1: won't work. Um, you know, it's no way am I

154
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 1: putting buick parts in a Cadillac. So Parker, we're back

155
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 1: to square one. We have to reorder the rack, reorder

156
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 1: the pump, etcetera. Well, it turns out that they had

157
00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 1: they had him in stock. So yesterday afternoon, at one o'clock,

158
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 1: I loaded everything into the little shop truck, the little ranger,

159
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 1: and I took a ride. I went, you know, thirty

160
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 1: minutes north, thirty minutes south, came back and about later

161
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 1: than I wanted it to be, I started putting parts

162
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 1: in this Cadillac. I wanted to finish my week on

163
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 1: a positive note. I'd like to do that. You know,

164
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 1: you guys can always tell when I've had a good

165
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 1: Friday at the shop because I usually have a good

166
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 1: radio show. You know, not that I we have a

167
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 1: bad one, but the better ones. You can tell what

168
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 1: went on in the shop. Am I doing so far?

169
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:32,439
Speaker 1: So did the rack, did the pump? Had the wine

170
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 1: bled the air? Okay? And the car seemed fixed. That's

171
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 1: all I'm gonna say. The car seemed fixed. The wine

172
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 1: was gone. I had good power steering effort by the

173
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 1: time I was done, went down the road, straight shot

174
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:50,439
Speaker 1: the alignment. Everything was good. Let me give the car

175
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 1: back the little lady for the weekend, you know. And

176
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 1: that little voice in the back of my head, all right,

177
00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 1: forty three years of fixing cars, something's aggon you. It's just,

178
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 1: you know, where did the fluid come from? I still

179
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 1: haven't seen anything, you know. I could see the fluid

180
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,200
Speaker 1: leak down bottom, down low where it came out of

181
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 1: the rack. But how did the power steering fluid get

182
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 1: on top of the valve cover all the way at

183
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 1: the top of the engine doesn't make any sense. When

184
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 1: I took a took a can of brake clean, washed

185
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 1: down by hand the entire valve cover, the power steering

186
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:27,680
Speaker 1: hose that came across the top of it, and I

187
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 1: found a contact point and it's you know right, you know,

188
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 1: you just and it's got a shiny spot to it.

189
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:40,680
Speaker 1: And I went, I wonder if that's aware Mark? And

190
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:42,840
Speaker 1: I started the car after washing it down, and then

191
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:46,200
Speaker 1: I didn't see any fluid. And then I happened to

192
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 1: take a mirror and I went under the entire length

193
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 1: of the hose that you couldn't see by eye. And

194
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 1: as I'm watching and I'm looking, and I'm looking, and

195
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 1: I'm dragging the mirror and I'm looking, and I'm wait

196
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 1: a minute, what what's that? A little tiny the size

197
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:07,320
Speaker 1: of a pinhead wet spot appears. GM wraps the power

198
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:11,560
Speaker 1: steering hoses in a fabric type tape this generation Cadillac.

199
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 1: And I wiped it all down with the with the

200
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 1: with the brake clean and the rag and a little

201
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 1: tiny wet spot, A little puddle was for me as

202
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:21,959
Speaker 1: the engine was running. As I watched with the mirror,

203
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 1: the puddle started to grow a little. I mean it

204
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 1: was small, like the size of the head of a

205
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 1: pin and then it got a little bit bigger and

206
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 1: a little bit bigger, and it got to be about

207
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 1: an eighth engine diameter. Bang, there's my leak. Shut the

208
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 1: car off order the power steering hoils will do that Monday.

209
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 1: The point is, had I let the car go, it

210
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 1: would have been a problem, because sooner or later that

211
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:44,680
Speaker 1: customer would have had to come back and they would

212
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 1: have had a leak. And did you really fix my car? Yeah,

213
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 1: I really fixed your car because it legitimately had a

214
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:53,200
Speaker 1: rack leaking. It had a noisy pump, which could have

215
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:55,360
Speaker 1: been air induced by the hole in the pressure line,

216
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 1: but it also could be just from general age. The

217
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:01,560
Speaker 1: fluid was really black and beat up. The bottom line is,

218
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 1: sometimes systems fail really completely. Everything goes bad, and it's

219
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 1: it's not an impossibility sometimes in the best interest of

220
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 1: longevity and a complete proper repair. The difference between a

221
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:19,079
Speaker 1: two thousand dollar repair and repair, what's the difference, it's

222
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:24,200
Speaker 1: only three but in terms of inconvenience to the customer

223
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:27,560
Speaker 1: and preventing a potential fire hazard, because that's always my

224
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 1: concern with power steering fluid leaks, because power of steering

225
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 1: fluid is a very low flesh point on a hot exhaust. Manifold,

226
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:37,679
Speaker 1: as Don Rickles would say, Okay, so we don't want to,

227
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 1: you know, cross that line sometimes mechanics intuition, I don't know.

228
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 1: I think when I get to that retirement dinner and

229
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 1: they say, so, what would you leave behind for the

230
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 1: next generation of mechanics practice? Your intuition and get to

231
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 1: know it, because sometimes mechanics intuition that all leads you

232
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 1: to where you have to be and get your home

233
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 1: nice and safe. Eight zero nine zero. Always listen to

234
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 1: the little voices and side your head. I'm run in

235
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 1: the car doctor. We'll be back right after this. Whether

236
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 1: it's a little red Corvette or you go, You've come

237
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 1: to the right place to get that car fixed. In

238
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 1: the car doctor. Five five zero nine zero zero. Now

239
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:24,960
Speaker 1: back to on. Hey, let's get over and tough. Two.

240
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 1: Is that Lila in Wisconsin? Oh five Chrysler Town and

241
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:30,200
Speaker 1: Country Minivan. Lila, Welcome to the car doctor. How can

242
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 1: I help? Thank you very much? My car in the

243
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:39,839
Speaker 1: last winter, you know, it gets cold here and my

244
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 1: window would go up real my passenger wind room up

245
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 1: real slow, and then it would go a little further

246
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 1: and then it would stay up. It would go down,

247
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 1: find the going up, and I got, oh boy, I

248
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:52,560
Speaker 1: need him motor. But I put it off because I

249
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:57,559
Speaker 1: figured to be expensive. And so summer came. It worked wonderful,

250
00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:00,720
Speaker 1: no problems at all. So I've outball. It can't be

251
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:04,439
Speaker 1: the more then it's something else. So I'm wondering if

252
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:07,080
Speaker 1: you have an idea of what I can do well

253
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 1: the motor itself or the linkage. You know, things get old.

254
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 1: I mean it's an O five, it's twelve years old,

255
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 1: and things start to bind and um, you know they

256
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 1: don't they don't work as well. One of the one

257
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:19,600
Speaker 1: of the simple things you can do. And I'll do

258
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:21,600
Speaker 1: this on oil changes in the shop and I have

259
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:23,720
Speaker 1: for many years and I find it to work quite well.

260
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 1: Is you know, look at the rubber that's around all

261
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 1: the windows today, right all the rubber, the tracks and

262
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:32,640
Speaker 1: the guides. I'll use a little spray silicone, you know,

263
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 1: just simple spray silicone available at any hardware store, available

264
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:39,600
Speaker 1: in any auto parts store. And I'll either spray directly

265
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:43,120
Speaker 1: into the rubber so that it soaks in, and then

266
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:45,200
Speaker 1: I'll operate their window a couple of times to you

267
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:47,360
Speaker 1: know kind of you know, spread the silicone up and

268
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 1: down and back and forth so it you know, oozes

269
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 1: its way into the all the pores of the rubber.

270
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:53,960
Speaker 1: Or I'll just take it. I'll put it on a

271
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 1: shop towel because I've got concerns. You know, sometimes spraying

272
00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:58,960
Speaker 1: on the rubber, you'll you'll get it all over the

273
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:02,440
Speaker 1: place and uh, um, you know it could possibly you know,

274
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:05,680
Speaker 1: get on the interior and you know stained silicone ken stain,

275
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 1: so you want to be careful with it as you spray.

276
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:09,320
Speaker 1: I'll just put it on a shop towel, you know,

277
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 1: with my finger and just you know, put wrap my

278
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:13,320
Speaker 1: finger around to wrap the RG around my finger and

279
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:15,839
Speaker 1: you just you know, stroke the rubber you know, around

280
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 1: the perimeter, and then I'll do the edges of the glass. Um.

281
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 1: You'll be amazed how well or what the difference could

282
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 1: be with with a silicone rubber channel versus a glass

283
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 1: rubber channel. Um, that will help things just glide more smoothly.

284
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 1: There there's a there's a friction level to the rubber,

285
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 1: so to speak, is the rubber ages that it gets

286
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 1: dry and it it doesn't allow the window channel components

287
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 1: to glide, you know, and think of it like skating

288
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 1: across the pond. It's you know, sometimes there's good ice,

289
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:46,880
Speaker 1: sometimes there's bad ice. The silicone will help replace that.

290
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 1: Now you know, the right repair, although it's not economically practical,

291
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 1: and in some cases it's not parts available practical, is

292
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 1: you know, obviously you're either gonna put a window motor

293
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:01,240
Speaker 1: in it because a window motor can get tired, all right,

294
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 1: it's just an electrical motor, and and you know a

295
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 1: little more drag because of that motor to slow down

296
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 1: and fail or you're gonna change the rubber components. But

297
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:12,040
Speaker 1: you know, before you get to that, try the silicone.

298
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:14,160
Speaker 1: You know, it's it's it's a case of you know,

299
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 1: seven eight nine dollars on a can of silicone, or

300
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 1: you know for a power window motor, which one do

301
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 1: you want to try first? You know, and then and

302
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:25,040
Speaker 1: then and then do all the windows. You know, you'll

303
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 1: you'll you'll do all the windows, and you know, generally

304
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 1: you'll see a difference if there's an issue with rubbers

305
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 1: at ages and weathers, you'll you'll you'll see a difference

306
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 1: in the quality of um and how well that window

307
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 1: goes up and down. So that can, uh, that can

308
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 1: make a big difference for you. All right. What about Well,

309
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 1: w D forty is an oil, all right, So now

310
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 1: now you're gonna be putting oil on rubber. I mean,

311
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 1: I like w D forty and certain applications I like

312
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 1: w D forty UM and liquid wrench. They're they're they're

313
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 1: both decent based lubricants. Um, they've got certain amounts of

314
00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 1: silicone and other you know, gliding agents if you want

315
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:02,360
Speaker 1: to think of it like that, in them, and I

316
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 1: like those on rubber components. Will use them sometimes the spray, lube,

317
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:09,760
Speaker 1: suspension and rubber components in the shop. But my concern

318
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 1: is on a window, it's it's almost too much oil

319
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 1: number one. Number two. You know, if you happen to

320
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 1: want to, you know, look cool and drive with your

321
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 1: elbow out the window and you're laying it on the rubber,

322
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:22,480
Speaker 1: you get you know, the oil on your arm and

323
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:24,040
Speaker 1: your elbow, and then you're dragging it back and you

324
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 1: get it on your clothes and it just makes a mess.

325
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 1: And then Mom yells at you. Don't ask me how

326
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 1: I know that? Um uh, you know. So yeah, the

327
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 1: silicone and you'll see the silicone will almost appear that

328
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 1: it evaporates over a you know, twenty four hour time period.

329
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 1: And then if you happen to brush up against the rubber,

330
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 1: it's okay. But the idea becomes that you know, the

331
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 1: the you're you're trying to revitalize the rubber in a sense,

332
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:50,160
Speaker 1: if if you want to think of it like that,

333
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 1: and that's what the silicone will do. And you know,

334
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:56,240
Speaker 1: siliconing all the window rubber tracks and even the weather seals.

335
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:58,080
Speaker 1: Even though, like if you have a rear hatch on

336
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 1: your van and you wanna, you know, maybe get the

337
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:03,960
Speaker 1: hatch to seal better against the elements. You know, look

338
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 1: at the difference of the color of the rubber sprayed

339
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:10,359
Speaker 1: and unsprayed, and you'll see how much the rubber seems

340
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 1: to look like it's more alive after it's sprayed, and

341
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:15,159
Speaker 1: it just you know, it kind of lets that seal

342
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:18,879
Speaker 1: wiggle against the body of the door and um, you know,

343
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:20,879
Speaker 1: seal all that much better. You may also want to,

344
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:23,440
Speaker 1: if the rubber is really old, and we're talking about

345
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:26,880
Speaker 1: body seals, is to take a shop towel and clean

346
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 1: the schmutz. Schmutz is an industry term that builds up

347
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:32,159
Speaker 1: where the rubber meets the metal body, and just wipe

348
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:34,960
Speaker 1: it all down and then spray with silicone and then

349
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 1: close the hatch and let it bake for a while

350
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:39,200
Speaker 1: and you'll see a difference in how all that that

351
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:43,239
Speaker 1: that that sets up and seats up. All right, all right,

352
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:46,399
Speaker 1: thank you very much. You're very welcome. You're very welcome.

353
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:48,639
Speaker 1: Merry Christmas to you two. I wonder how cold it

354
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 1: is in Wisconsin this time of year. It can't be. Um,

355
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:52,720
Speaker 1: it can't be the warmest thing in the whole world.

356
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 1: But uh yeah, they're battling that and um uh you know,

357
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 1: simple things like silicone just make a big difference in

358
00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 1: the way that in the way that vehicle operate all

359
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:02,879
Speaker 1: winter long. And uh the other thing, I guess, and

360
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:06,360
Speaker 1: I'll mention this if Wila calls back, and for everybody

361
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 1: else out there, you've got to watch on older cars too,

362
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 1: when you don't silicon, or when you continue to operate

363
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 1: a window that's struggling like that. In in some cases

364
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 1: they actually use a plastic or nylon track, you know,

365
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:23,639
Speaker 1: like a toothed track to to to to pull the

366
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 1: window trolley to let the window go up and down.

367
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:29,240
Speaker 1: It's when that plastic track or trolley gets brittle and

368
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:32,480
Speaker 1: hard that it fails. And that's when you get the UPS.

369
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 1: You know, you know what the UPS is, Right, You're

370
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:36,080
Speaker 1: gonna put the window up and oops, all of a

371
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 1: sudden it fell into the door. Um that's an UPS.

372
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 1: Because now the track is old and brittling, you have

373
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:42,880
Speaker 1: to replace it. So uh, you know, better to fix

374
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 1: and figure out why it's so hard going up and

375
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:46,680
Speaker 1: down rather than just that. Let me just push the

376
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:48,440
Speaker 1: button and make it work a little bit harder, because

377
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 1: something's gonna break sooner or later. Take five five zero

378
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:53,720
Speaker 1: nine zero zero. I am on an any in the

379
00:18:53,720 --> 00:19:22,720
Speaker 1: Car Doctor, and I'll be back right after this. Hey,

380
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:25,199
Speaker 1: welcome back an the Car Doctor. We're here in studio

381
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:28,240
Speaker 1: today with Lucy the wonder Dog. Lucy tell us everything

382
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:30,879
Speaker 1: you like about Tom. There you go. There you have it, folks,

383
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:33,480
Speaker 1: that dog always knows best. Dogs are so smart. Let's

384
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:35,320
Speaker 1: get on over and talk to Let's go talk to

385
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:37,879
Speaker 1: Russ in North Carolina. Eighty two Chevy S ten pickup

386
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:40,960
Speaker 1: truck and some bad vibrations. Russ, Welcome to the Car Doctor.

387
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:44,960
Speaker 1: How can I help Hi? How you doing? Rock? I've

388
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 1: got eight two Chevy S ten short bed and uh

389
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:51,000
Speaker 1: I put a small block Chevy in it with a

390
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:55,280
Speaker 1: turbot and it's got a regular ten boat. We're in

391
00:19:55,560 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 1: right and between the speed of say sixty five two

392
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:03,840
Speaker 1: and seventy miles an hour, it will shake your teeth out.

393
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 1: Drive line vibration only when you're on the pedal. I

394
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 1: have no all the time, whether you're on the pedal

395
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:14,879
Speaker 1: or not. Does it get it doesn't had all that,

396
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 1: I had all the excuse, manka, I was gonna say,

397
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:21,960
Speaker 1: does it get worse when you step harder on the gas? Uh? No,

398
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:26,159
Speaker 1: not really. It's gets a little more consistent. Okay, but

399
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:30,680
Speaker 1: it doesn't. It's but it comes in slowly, gets real bad,

400
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:33,840
Speaker 1: then it slowly goes out. Um, what what sort of

401
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 1: steps have you taken to diagnose? In anything? I'll always

402
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:39,560
Speaker 1: you know, re checked the balance on the tires. The

403
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:42,399
Speaker 1: wheels and tires are all new. Drive staff is new.

404
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:44,199
Speaker 1: I brought that back to the guys who built that,

405
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:46,720
Speaker 1: and they checked that and it was fine. You joints

406
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 1: are all good. I checked at the angle of opinions

407
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:54,600
Speaker 1: about three. They say to have it about three degrees down,

408
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 1: so when it's underload, it'll come up and then it

409
00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 1: will be about zero. But the only thing problem think

410
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 1: I might have is I have the transmission up as

411
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 1: far as it will go in the tunnel, and it's

412
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:10,680
Speaker 1: not quite straight, but it's pretty close. And I was

413
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 1: just wondering, how much of a angle do you think

414
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 1: you can have before you start causing problems? You know,

415
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:20,520
Speaker 1: it's funny. When I built Black two, I'll go back

416
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 1: to Black one. When I built Black one as a kid, um,

417
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 1: you know, you don't know what you're doing when you're seventeen.

418
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:30,040
Speaker 1: You're just sort of guessing and hoping, and you know,

419
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:33,399
Speaker 1: you put things together and yeah, however it runs, it runs.

420
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:36,359
Speaker 1: Black one had a wicked vibration in it, similar to

421
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:39,439
Speaker 1: what you're describing that I later on found out was

422
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:43,160
Speaker 1: related to the angle of the transmission how it met

423
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 1: the front of the drive shaft. And I always wondered

424
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 1: I should have taken that car back and redone it

425
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:49,440
Speaker 1: to see if I could have fixed it. But when

426
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 1: I did Black two, the second fifty five Chevy in

427
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:56,919
Speaker 1: my life, I was very careful and I found just

428
00:21:56,960 --> 00:22:01,479
Speaker 1: a stock fifty five and I measured mount locations based

429
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:05,119
Speaker 1: off of that to mount the trans four Black too,

430
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:08,760
Speaker 1: So you know, my angularity was the same. So my

431
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:11,119
Speaker 1: comment to you is, you know, I don't know the

432
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:14,680
Speaker 1: exact number as far as angle of degree. Three almost

433
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:18,560
Speaker 1: sounds too high for for opinion angle, but I would

434
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 1: tell you to find another s ten and measure off

435
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:24,479
Speaker 1: of that measure mounting location and see if you can

436
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:27,199
Speaker 1: match that. You know, if you're looking at that if

437
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:29,360
Speaker 1: you're looking at that front yoke and it's got any

438
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 1: angularity to it, does it or is it just a

439
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:35,200
Speaker 1: straight shot coming off the back of the trans it's

440
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 1: got it's got a little bit of an angle that

441
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:39,680
Speaker 1: back the trans would have to go up and there's

442
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:43,199
Speaker 1: kunnel problems because the turbo three figher than the transner

443
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:45,919
Speaker 1: was originally in it. So yeah, that's that's what I

444
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:48,119
Speaker 1: thought you were describing to me. And it almost sounds

445
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 1: like you're gonna have to lift that portion of the

446
00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 1: so the trans has to come up. So right now

447
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 1: you have you have downstroke so to speak. The front

448
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 1: of the front of the drive shift is actually pointed

449
00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:01,440
Speaker 1: down a little bit when you when you look at it. Yeah,

450
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 1: that that's see, that's wrong because you're you're actually loading

451
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:09,240
Speaker 1: it in the wrong direction. Um, so yeah, I'm gonna

452
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:12,399
Speaker 1: tell you. So maybe we get a tunnel patch. Somebody

453
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 1: must make a tunnel patch, kid, or you know, just

454
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:16,600
Speaker 1: some sheet metal and just you know, lift up the

455
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 1: back of the trans and you know that'll take that out.

456
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:24,240
Speaker 1: Have to have to do a physical modification possibly, Yeah, right, exactly,

457
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:28,040
Speaker 1: a physical modification to the tunnel exactly, right, Um, when

458
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:30,920
Speaker 1: they when they checked the drive shaft for us, did

459
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:35,480
Speaker 1: they check it for balance and straight? Yes? Okay, yeah,

460
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:37,720
Speaker 1: they had it on on the machine and it's it's

461
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:41,800
Speaker 1: a brand new drive shafts perfectly straight alright, so they're

462
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:45,680
Speaker 1: joint through all new they right, And then then I think,

463
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:48,679
Speaker 1: I think drive shaft angle is really want to be.

464
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:50,240
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you what. Rus stay on the line.

465
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 1: Time just gave him the thumbs up. We're giving away

466
00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:55,360
Speaker 1: a super Chips dash packs plus this week all new

467
00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:57,760
Speaker 1: performance programmer from the folks at super Chips has got

468

Speaker 1: to Ron Hey once again. Congratulations to Rush down North Carolina,

482
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:47,480
Speaker 1: winner of today's Super Chips programmer plus courtesy the folks

483
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:49,600
Speaker 1: at super Chips super chips dot Com. Let's get over

484
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:52,200
Speaker 1: and talk to Doug in May Oh too, Subaru impressa

485
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:55,399
Speaker 1: and some problems with acceleration, Doug. Welcome to the Car Doctor, sir.

486
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:59,880
Speaker 1: How can I help? Hey? Ron? How you doing? Really

487
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,560
Speaker 1: appreciate what you do man, You're welcome my pleasure. How

488
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:06,159
Speaker 1: can I help you? Sir? Well, it's two thousand to

489
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:11,680
Speaker 1: impressive um T s UM and it's in mint condition.

490
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:14,280
Speaker 1: And I drove it for a year with nothing, you know,

491
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 1: no problems at all, and then it's all of a

492
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 1: sudden started hitching up, like when i'd go to throttle it,

493
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 1: like to go past somebody or up a hill. It

494
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 1: would hitch off, cough and sputter. And what I found

495
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:30,800
Speaker 1: to do was let off and feather it, and then

496
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:32,280
Speaker 1: it would come out of it and I'd have all

497
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:36,720
Speaker 1: kinds of power. And so my motorhead buddy, we replaced

498
00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 1: the Now you're gonna have to help me on this

499
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:41,960
Speaker 1: because I'm not the motor hit. But it's either the

500
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:45,080
Speaker 1: MAP or the or the other one, the one that

501
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 1: isn't in the air cleaner to the mass airflow sensor mass. Yeah,

502
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 1: is that the one that's electrical on top of the engine. Well,

503
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:56,000
Speaker 1: there's a both of these on top of the engines,

504
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:59,000
Speaker 1: so that's a hard question to answer. It's that little

505
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:03,280
Speaker 1: uh really expensive it was. It was those letters anyway,

506
00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:06,400
Speaker 1: but I can't remember he did it, and that didn't

507
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 1: do anything. It wasn't the one in the air cleaner.

508
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:11,920
Speaker 1: It was the one. Uh, what's the other one that's

509
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:15,400
Speaker 1: MASS or MAP. Well, let's see mass map knock sensor

510
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:19,280
Speaker 1: air fuel ratio sensor. Oh, that's what it is. Yeah,

511
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:22,560
Speaker 1: he did that one air fuel okay, And then we

512
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:28,159
Speaker 1: did the coil and it took it away a little bit.

513
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:30,600
Speaker 1: Now this is what's weird. I thought, well, why wouldn't

514
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:33,680
Speaker 1: it cure it completely? And then I drove it. I

515
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:35,919
Speaker 1: was like happy, Wow, this is cool. And then all

516
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:37,440
Speaker 1: of a sudden it did it again. And then but

517
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:39,400
Speaker 1: it won't do it all the time. It only does

518
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:41,560
Speaker 1: it once in a while. When I go up a hill,

519
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:44,960
Speaker 1: but not like it used to. So it just baffles me.

520
00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:49,560
Speaker 1: Any any check engine light? Thug, no, no, no check

521
00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:53,520
Speaker 1: engine Now are you are you saying you're sure he

522
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:57,440
Speaker 1: changed the air fuel ratio sensor or you think, oh no,

523
00:26:57,600 --> 00:26:59,560
Speaker 1: he did. He did. He bought a new one and

524
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:03,920
Speaker 1: put it in I'm expensive part, right, I mean, yes,

525
00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:06,520
Speaker 1: it wasn't the one in the We don't have that

526
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:10,200
Speaker 1: in that year. Uh in the air cleaner, you know,

527
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:12,840
Speaker 1: the one that's in the tool. I guess, okay, well

528
00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:15,000
Speaker 1: that would be a mass that that would be a

529
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:17,920
Speaker 1: mass airflow sensor, which is completely different than an air

530
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:21,880
Speaker 1: fuel ratio sensor. Okay, because this one doesn't. They did

531
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 1: away with that. They used to have both. I think

532
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:26,920
Speaker 1: in all one he told me. And then and you

533
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 1: probably know, and then so we didn't have that, so

534
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:33,560
Speaker 1: we did the other one, and I don't didn't do anything.

535
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:38,480
Speaker 1: I'm thinking you're telling me he changed the map sensor. Yeah,

536
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:43,200
Speaker 1: well the electrical really expensive thing on top. Yeah, but

537
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:45,320
Speaker 1: they're all different, you know, I mean a map. Ok,

538
00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 1: let's let's do this. Let's have the conversation this way.

539
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:50,160
Speaker 1: Do you have a scan do you have a scan tool?

540
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:55,440
Speaker 1: By chance? He does. So what I want him to

541
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:59,639
Speaker 1: do is to look at fuel trim. All right, what

542
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:01,280
Speaker 1: do you what do you do for a living Doug

543
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:06,399
Speaker 1: tractor trail of gas and oil? Okay? All right, so

544
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:09,439
Speaker 1: you know you know when that you know, when you've

545
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:11,440
Speaker 1: got a bad load of diesel, Right, the truck doesn't

546
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:13,440
Speaker 1: run right, the sea tane rating is not right, there's

547
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:15,560
Speaker 1: too much wax in the system, or they don't have

548
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:17,480
Speaker 1: they don't have the blend of fuel just right. So

549
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:19,159
Speaker 1: you can't pull the pass with a full load on

550
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:23,560
Speaker 1: the rack, right, Okay, So we're gonna talk about air

551
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:27,359
Speaker 1: fuel mixture. Okay, we'renna talking about fuel balance. So what

552
00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:29,920
Speaker 1: what a car can do? What a car has the

553
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:33,119
Speaker 1: ability to do today? Um, you know, you look at

554
00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:34,919
Speaker 1: a scan tool and we can look at we can

555
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:38,640
Speaker 1: look at fuel trim. Fuel trim is that balancer blend

556
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:43,120
Speaker 1: of fuel and air coming out the tailpiper, burnt fuel

557
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:45,520
Speaker 1: and air coming out the tailpipe. All right, that's what

558
00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:48,440
Speaker 1: fuel trim is in in in in high school we

559
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:50,360
Speaker 1: all talked about in high school at the shop, we

560
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:53,280
Speaker 1: talked about a balanced air fuel mixture four teen point

561
00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:56,640
Speaker 1: seven and one al right, and how that's perfect combustion

562
00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 1: and and the engine is operating at peak efficiency. But

563
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:02,200
Speaker 1: as scan tool can can kind of tell us that.

564
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:05,640
Speaker 1: So if we look at a scan tool, there's gonna

565
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:07,920
Speaker 1: be two fuel trim numbers we're gonna be concerned with,

566
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:10,480
Speaker 1: or we're gonna talk about O b D two. There's

567
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:15,360
Speaker 1: always two languages cars speak today since the emission control

568
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:19,360
Speaker 1: systems allow for two languages. Were either gonna speak O

569
00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:23,040
Speaker 1: b D two all right, which is standard emissions protocol,

570
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:27,000
Speaker 1: or we're gonna speak your make model. So your Subaru

571
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:30,880
Speaker 1: has O b D two and O two Subaru. It's

572
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:33,479
Speaker 1: like speaking French and Spanish. They both say the same thing,

573
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:36,560
Speaker 1: just slightly different languages. But we're gonna talk about O

574
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:38,600
Speaker 1: b D two. O b D two gives us a

575
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:42,600
Speaker 1: language all its own. We're we're able to converse at

576
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:48,800
Speaker 1: a universal level across all vehicles. Okay, so your friends

577
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:52,720
Speaker 1: scan tool likely speaks at least it speaks O b

578
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:55,440
Speaker 1: D two. It may speak your make model. But have

579
00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:57,800
Speaker 1: them go in under O b D two. Have them

580
00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:01,240
Speaker 1: look at fuel trim. There's gonna be short term fuel trim,

581
00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:04,920
Speaker 1: which is here and now, all right, what do you

582
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:11,040
Speaker 1: have for lunch today? Doug. Okay, okay, you had an

583
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:13,640
Speaker 1: Italian sandwich. What do you have for lunch two weeks ago?

584
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:18,880
Speaker 1: You don't remember, Yeah, you probably don't remember. That's long

585
00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:22,440
Speaker 1: term fuel trim. Long term fuel trim happened a while ago.

586
00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:26,960
Speaker 1: Short term fuel trim happened now, all right. So so

587
00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:29,720
Speaker 1: you're gonna look at short and long term long term

588
00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:32,240
Speaker 1: typically on a good car, and you can hook it

589
00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:34,280
Speaker 1: up to a good car and see the difference. Long

590
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:36,200
Speaker 1: term fuel trim on a good car is gonna be

591
00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:39,520
Speaker 1: plus or minus ten percent. Short term fuel trim is

592
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 1: gonna be typically plus or minus five maybe six percent,

593
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:47,240
Speaker 1: all right. But on a sick car you'll see things

594
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:52,000
Speaker 1: like long term fuel trim plus fifteen percent, short term

595
00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:56,520
Speaker 1: fuel trim ten percent, and creeping up when when a

596
00:30:56,680 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 1: vehicle gets to combine fuel trim of about long and short,

597
00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:08,560
Speaker 1: it typically sets a check engine light. So if your

598
00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:15,960
Speaker 1: vehicle is running at let's say combined fuel trim, that's

599
00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:17,680
Speaker 1: not going to turn on a check engine light, is it.

600
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:21,360
Speaker 1: But is it going to be a sick car? You

601
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:24,480
Speaker 1: bet you, all right. So there's a whole bunch more

602
00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 1: to learn looking at a scan tool. Then, while I'm

603
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:27,560
Speaker 1: waiting for the light to come on, so I can

604
00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:29,000
Speaker 1: see what the code is, so I can google it

605
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:30,960
Speaker 1: and change whatever the part the guy and iowauld change

606
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:33,720
Speaker 1: because that mulst be what's wrong with my car? Remain right.

607
00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:37,320
Speaker 1: That's the whole purpose of fuel trim. That's the idea,

608
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 1: all right, So you know, let's use the scan tool

609
00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:44,800
Speaker 1: for more than just reading codes and Google searching. Okay, Um,

610
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:46,520
Speaker 1: the other thing I want you to look at is

611
00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:50,400
Speaker 1: go look at calculated load. If your if your car

612
00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:52,920
Speaker 1: has a mass airflow sensor, which I believe it does,

613
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:57,440
Speaker 1: go look at calculated load. Calculated load is it's sort

614
00:31:57,480 --> 00:31:59,680
Speaker 1: of like, you know, how fast that car moves when

615
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:01,360
Speaker 1: you put your foot to the floor. It's like when

616
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:03,280
Speaker 1: your wife says take out the garbage. Which way does

617
00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:05,480
Speaker 1: the husband go? Does he go from? Does he go

618
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:08,800
Speaker 1: from twenty two to or does he go from twenty

619
00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:12,440
Speaker 1: two to you know, if he wants to keep mom happy,

620
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:15,480
Speaker 1: he goes to a percent because happy wife, happy life crowd.

621
00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:17,440
Speaker 1: Yeah right right. Honestly, he's a member of the club.

622
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:22,320
Speaker 1: So you know you yeah, there you go, yeah, there

623
00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:25,200
Speaker 1: you go. It's you know, um, listen, sometimes you wonder

624
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:26,640
Speaker 1: you're not over the road truck or I never see it.

625
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:30,080
Speaker 1: We're happy. Um, you know it's it's the way it works. Um.

626
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:32,680
Speaker 1: So you know, let's go look at calculated load from

627
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:37,520
Speaker 1: about just creeping around on a side road. Just take

628
00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:39,200
Speaker 1: your foot and hit it to the floor. Make sure

629
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:41,440
Speaker 1: there's nothing in front of you, like your wife, and

630
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:43,920
Speaker 1: make sure you don't you know, you just want to

631
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:46,600
Speaker 1: get to, you know, see where calculated load goes. Just

632
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:48,720
Speaker 1: do a wide open throttle poll like when you were

633
00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:50,840
Speaker 1: a kid with a big block in high school. Right,

634
00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:52,800
Speaker 1: you want to you want to you want to see

635
00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:54,760
Speaker 1: that thing. You know, you want to see that mass

636
00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:59,840
Speaker 1: airflow report over on the typical good car. All right,

637
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:02,160
Speaker 1: then at least you know the mass airflow is capable

638
00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:04,680
Speaker 1: of reporting and capable of allowing the engine to breathe

639
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:07,320
Speaker 1: properly and come back to me with that number. But

640
00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:09,800
Speaker 1: fuel trim is gonna be the barometer. I think you're

641
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 1: gonna see fuel trim out of whack on this, and

642
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:14,960
Speaker 1: then you're gonna see a calculated load problem because it

643
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:18,120
Speaker 1: sounds like fuel trim is screwy enough that you've got

644
00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:21,920
Speaker 1: a an air fuel problem possibly leading to another sensor.

645
00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:25,800
Speaker 1: Do that call me back next week we'll continue this conversation. Alright, sir. Wow,

646
00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:29,240
Speaker 1: that's awesome, man, I'll tell you that. And exactly so

647
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:31,000
Speaker 1: that's why I wouldn't be doing it all the time

648
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:37,480
Speaker 1: sometimes and it's and it's beautiful. It's a lot of power. Yeah, yeah,

649
00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:40,200
Speaker 1: that's but that would that would make perfect sense. So

650
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:42,360
Speaker 1: if you want to hear this conversation again, you can

651
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:44,320
Speaker 1: just log into the Car Doctor page, get over to

652
00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:47,200
Speaker 1: the podcast thing. This is about forty minutes into the

653
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:49,440
Speaker 1: second hour and you can download this and play it

654
00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:51,440
Speaker 1: for your buddy. Okay, I gotta go him up against

655
00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:53,440
Speaker 1: the clock. Good luck to you. Keep me posted, Doug.

656
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:55,560
Speaker 1: I'm running aating the Car Doctor. We're back right after this.

657
00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:03,520
Speaker 1: Welcome back. Were the name of the Car Doctor eight

658
00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:07,600
Speaker 1: five zero the Car Doctor phone number. Don't forget it,

659
00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:09,360
Speaker 1: write it down and use it when you need to

660
00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:11,719
Speaker 1: during the course of the week. Bob playing View New

661
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:13,799
Speaker 1: York eleven and Katia. How can I help sir? What's

662
00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:17,200
Speaker 1: going on? Hey, Ron, it's an honor. I'm a long

663
00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:19,480
Speaker 1: long time listener. Thank you, sir. What can what can

664
00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:22,520
Speaker 1: I do for you today? Bob? I'm at work. Neighbor

665
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:25,600
Speaker 1: calls me up two thousand eleven of Katia. Hey, Bob,

666
00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:28,720
Speaker 1: can I change my battery? First cold staff car didn't start?

667
00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:31,640
Speaker 1: So I said him, yeah, sure, why not? I give

668
00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:36,160
Speaker 1: him a recommendation on a power frame technology battery. He

669
00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:40,400
Speaker 1: finds one, brings it home, says to me, how do

670
00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:43,440
Speaker 1: I get the hatch cover off the battery? This is crazy?

671
00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:46,800
Speaker 1: Screw there? Oh yeah, he takes a picture. You know,

672
00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:50,200
Speaker 1: it's like they can't put a Philip tip screw in

673
00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:55,319
Speaker 1: the little battery cover. And then okay, we finally get

674
00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:59,319
Speaker 1: over that hurdle. And then the factory battery. Okay, grant

675
00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:02,600
Speaker 1: it pretty good at the original battery lasted seven years,

676
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:06,080
Speaker 1: but there's no listing strap to get the battery out

677
00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:08,759
Speaker 1: of the out of the baby it's in. So so

678
00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:10,840
Speaker 1: what you're saying is you really want to be an

679
00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:14,920
Speaker 1: auto mechanic in your next life. Well, I mean what

680
00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:17,560
Speaker 1: I'm saying is I'm I hear you on the air

681
00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:20,520
Speaker 1: all the time talking about how they're taking away all

682
00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:23,840
Speaker 1: right to fix cars? Are I love? I love the

683
00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:26,360
Speaker 1: piece on the farm equipment and really hit home. You

684
00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:29,440
Speaker 1: know that's a national security issue, but but don't you

685
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:32,280
Speaker 1: think that we should at least you know, the average

686
00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:34,840
Speaker 1: guy should be able to change his batteries. Yeah, you know,

687
00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:36,960
Speaker 1: you know what, Bob, I think the average guy in

688
00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:41,000
Speaker 1: in life and death situations changing a battery basic filters.

689
00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:43,680
Speaker 1: I think you guys should be informed about bulletins and

690
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:46,400
Speaker 1: recalls on a regular basis. You paid for the vehicle,

691
00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:48,239
Speaker 1: You paid for the good news, you should get the

692
00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:50,920
Speaker 1: bad news as well. Listen, you can change that battery.

693
00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:52,759
Speaker 1: It's gonna take a little creativity to get it out

694
00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:55,120
Speaker 1: of the hole. There's no reset. Have at it in

695
00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:56,920
Speaker 1: good luck. I'm on. Any of the car doctor mechanics

696
00:35:56,960 --> 00:36:04,520
Speaker 1: aren't expensive, they're priceless. She was too Si
