Speaker 1: Um as always, Let's let's wander over and let's go

22
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 1: talk to Robert in Virginia sixteen Chevy Silverado. Let's start

23
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:18,399
Speaker 1: right out of the gate. Robert. Welcome to the car, doctor, sir,

24
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:22,479
Speaker 1: How can I help? Thank you? Ron? I'm calling because

25
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:29,119
Speaker 1: I have this problem with Chevy Silverado. Uh. It uh

26
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 1: only makes this clattering noise. Uh when it's cold outside,

27
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 1: like forty degrees in the forties and below. And that's

28
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 1: the only time that makes it runs great. No problems,

29
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 1: no uh. In July, just a clattering noise in the

30
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 1: bell housing area got underneath the vehicle. It's not the

31
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 1: shrouding on the catalytic converter. It's nothing like that. I

32
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 1: can't figure it out. Okay. How many miles are on

33
00:01:53,360 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 1: this Robert? A little overt someplace between fifty three? Okay,

34
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 1: do you have any idea when it started? I bought

35
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 1: the truck used last year, and uh, it never made

36
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 1: a noise until it was cold out the end of

37
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:19,520
Speaker 1: last year when it was cold, and then this year

38
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:21,679
Speaker 1: did a couple of times too when it's cold out,

39
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:24,119
Speaker 1: and I took it to the dealership because it's under

40
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 1: warranty and they can't seem to duplicated. But it's only

41
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 1: when it's cold out. Well, you know, if if you

42
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:33,919
Speaker 1: leave it outside the dealership at night this time of

43
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 1: year and you go there and start it and listen,

44
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be afraid to do that. Guys, I'm dropping

45
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:40,800
Speaker 1: my truck off Monday. I'll see at eight o'clock what

46
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 1: time you're gonna look at it. Let's start it together,

47
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:46,799
Speaker 1: you know. That's that's the easy way to get around

48
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 1: that dodge, all right. But more importantly, before you go

49
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:54,079
Speaker 1: through all that, you've got a pencil and paper. Yes, sir,

50
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 1: take a look at Take a look at g M bulletin.

51
00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:02,239
Speaker 1: Oh one dash show six dash ow one dash. I

52
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 1: think it's seas in Charlie. I guess what the title? Sure,

53
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 1: Oh one dash show six dash ow one dash. I

54
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 1: believe it's c because they had three or four different

55
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:18,959
Speaker 1: versions of this. I believe it's Charlie at this point.

56
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,800
Speaker 1: By now, it might even be David. You know they've

57
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,080
Speaker 1: they've probably updated it. And guess what the title of

58
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 1: that bulletin is. I love this one when I read

59
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 1: it engine knock on cold start. Well, yeah, I did

60
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 1: read that. I did go through and read all the

61
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 1: bulletin right um with the cold start, and it talked

62
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 1: a little bit about the oil the you know, the

63
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 1: viscosity of the oil, carbon deposits, Yeah, carbon deposits and stuff. Um,

64
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 1: but I overheard last weekend on your show you mentioned

65
00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 1: a clattering noise on the Chevy and I just caught

66
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 1: my ear. And that's why I want to call you.

67
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 1: I haven't I've never listened to you until to the

68
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 1: you know, last Saturday, right right. I appreciate that I'm

69
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 1: clattering noise on Chevy's I think we were talking about

70
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 1: something else. I don't know that we were talking about silverados,

71
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:18,159
Speaker 1: but I would and I wouldn't just stop here with

72
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:20,160
Speaker 1: this bulletin. I'll tell you one thing I would do,

73
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:22,919
Speaker 1: just to be certain it's nothing internal in the engine.

74
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:26,719
Speaker 1: And I don't I don't recommend oil analysis as a

75
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 1: regular thing, but why not do an oil analysis on

76
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 1: the next change? You know, how do you how do

77
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 1: you know the engine is not coming apart? Sometimes? You know,

78
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:43,039
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter what you're diagnosed, and let's let's you know,

79
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 1: tell me what's good, I'll tell you what's bad. Hopefully

80
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 1: the report comes back and tells you that you know

81
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 1: your heart rate, your blood pressure and your cholesterol are

82
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 1: all good. You know, it's nothing internal, all right, and

83
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:57,480
Speaker 1: then you can breathe a side relief. Then you can

84
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:00,080
Speaker 1: sit there and say, well, it's not the end. And

85
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 1: there's there's no metal in the oil. There's nothing in

86
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 1: the oil that indicates an engine problem. But if there is,

87
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:09,479
Speaker 1: and as you say, it's under warranty, you've now taken

88
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 1: the first step that at least you can go to

89
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 1: the dealer with a report and go, look, it's under warranty.

90
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 1: Fix it right either either either either way, you've taken

91
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 1: a big step. Now. If either way, then you can go, hey, listen,

92
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 1: it's not in the engine, so what is it? All right?

93
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 1: You could follow one oh six carbon deposits. Let's do

94
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 1: a real good carbon cleaning, all right. You could go

95
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,280
Speaker 1: through that, and then when that doesn't do it, then

96
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 1: the only place left that I would have to say

97
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:45,720
Speaker 1: is do you have an issue going on? They do

98
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,360
Speaker 1: have some torque converter issues and maybe that's what you

99
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 1: heard me talking about with chatter and clatter. Yeah, okay, um,

100
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:58,360
Speaker 1: you know do you do you have a pending trans problem?

101
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:00,799
Speaker 1: And maybe you can't prove it you maybe you can't

102
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 1: prove it yet, but you can prove what it isn't,

103
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:06,160
Speaker 1: So this is what it has to be, all right.

104
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:11,480
Speaker 1: Was there a like a bulletin on the there's all

105
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 1: kinds of bulletins on the transit for those, but there's

106
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 1: there's nothing specific that talks about noiser that would describe

107
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:22,799
Speaker 1: your situation. So you know I would, but I would,

108
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:26,279
Speaker 1: I would. You know, the trans as themselves wholeheartedly have

109
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 1: some issues. I always encourage people stay on top of

110
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 1: the fluid changes, stay on top of fluid level. And

111
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 1: you know, in your case, doing an oil analysis will

112
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:39,600
Speaker 1: tell me is an engine or transmission and give you

113
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 1: a direction. So you recommend that oil analysis is also

114
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 1: on the transmission to UM. You know, I've never I've

115
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 1: never thought about doing an oil analysis on a transmission.

116
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 1: I don't know that they'll do that because I've got

117
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:56,040
Speaker 1: to think trans fluid. I've got to think trans fluid

118
00:06:56,040 --> 00:07:00,080
Speaker 1: would show contaminant anyway, any trans you hey, listen, you

119
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,839
Speaker 1: could try it. Listen, be my delegate. All right. When

120
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:05,600
Speaker 1: you talk to the oil analysis company, ask him, can

121
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:08,039
Speaker 1: you do an analysis on trans fluid? Is it worthwhile?

122
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 1: See what they say and report back. How's that I'll

123
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 1: give you a job. It sounds great. H One last

124
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 1: question though, uh oil analysis, do you have any recommendation

125
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 1: or a point of contact or just no goal analysis

126
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 1: for your oil? No point of contact. The name I

127
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 1: hear thrown about, I believe is is it Keystone Labs? Uh?

128
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 1: Google it, Google or engine oil analysis and see what

129
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 1: comes up. But there's there's only two or three in

130
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 1: the country to my knowledge, and I think the one

131
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 1: everybody tends to use as a company called Keystone. I

132
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 1: could be wrong about that, but there's there's not a

133
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 1: lot of choices out there, all right. Well, I appreciate

134
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 1: the information. When I was in the service, we used

135
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 1: to do the oil analysis send them off, and I

136
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 1: guess I have to do the same thing for personal

137
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 1: vehicle life is a big circle, right. You think you're

138
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 1: getting away from it, and you just keep coming back.

139
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 1: You know. Every time every time I see the Amazon

140
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 1: truck rolling too the shop with some such part or

141
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 1: tool or material or something, I keep thinking of that

142
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 1: scene from the music Man I'm dating myself where the

143
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 1: Wells Fargo wagon is a coming, right. You know, It's

144
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 1: like we've come full circle in a hundred years. We're

145
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 1: all excited whenever the Wells Fargo wagon or in this case,

146
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 1: the Amazon truck shows up. Everything comes full circle. That's life,

147
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 1: my friend. So well, I appreciate the information. At least

148
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 1: I have uh a path to follow to see if

149
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 1: I can find out what the problem is. Glad to

150
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 1: have been of help. Robert, thank you for your service,

151
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:43,160

Speaker 1: doctor coming back right after this, whether it's a little

154
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:01,960
Speaker 1: red Corvette or are you go. You've come to the

155
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 1: right place to get that car fixed. Ron and Ady

156
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:08,720
Speaker 1: in the car doctor five five five zero zero zero.

157
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:15,840
Speaker 1: Now back to Ron, heyt and stop talking. Tom always

158
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 1: gets me with these, Um where'd you come up with

159
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 1: that one? Mr? Ray? Tom? Tom always busy. He's not

160
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:26,320
Speaker 1: talking to me today. Look at that. There you go.

161
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 1: I missed the button. Oh there you go. You can't

162
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:30,680
Speaker 1: miss the button. I don't know. I found that on

163
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 1: a button here and I figured it would be appropriate.

164
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:36,319
Speaker 1: By the way, I want to point out that one

165
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 1: of the callers left a message and they want to

166
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 1: know why we don't talk about football anymore? Why don't

167
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:44,199
Speaker 1: we talk about football anymore? Oh? Probably because there hasn't

168
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:46,320
Speaker 1: been much football going on and Tony is not around.

169
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:50,440
Speaker 1: That's what it was. So however, Yeah, this is gonna

170
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 1: be It's gonna be an interesting super Bowl, as it said.

171
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 1: Uh not yet. There's one more set of games this weekend,

172
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 1: and it's um are the gint of surprising some of

173
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:04,320
Speaker 1: the people who are in the playoffs. Are the giants

174
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:08,080
Speaker 1: in it? No, we won't talk about the Giants, and

175
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:09,959
Speaker 1: we're not going to talk about the Jets either. Are

176
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 1: the Jets Senate? No, but the Bills are. Hey, look

177
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:17,679
Speaker 1: at it this way. The state of New York actually

178
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 1: has one team that doesn't stink. That's true. Do you

179
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:23,200
Speaker 1: think maybe we could get Tony on the phone one

180
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 1: day and we could talk to him so I can

181
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:26,720
Speaker 1: abuse him about football to make the listeners happy. Would

182
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 1: you explain to him it's for the radio shows for

183
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 1: the listeners. Of course, Maybe I'll do that next week

184
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:33,200
Speaker 1: because that'll that'll be the I think it's the Pro

185
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 1: Bowl next week, so there won't be much going on.

186
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:36,960
Speaker 1: So I'll see if I can. I'll see if I'll

187
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 1: see if I can arrange that. Women maybe we can

188
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 1: make Tony the football sere and have him come on

189
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 1: and predict who's gonna win the Super Bowl, who's gonna

190
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 1: win the games at because because you know what's gonna happen.

191
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 1: If he's right, If he's right, his head's gonna grow

192
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 1: big and we're never gonna be able to talk to

193
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:56,320
Speaker 1: him again. Well, yeah we will. We'll buy him lunch

194
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 1: and then he'll be normal. So would you would you

195
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 1: punch me up Mark in Vegas and we'll continue with

196
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 1: the show. Now there you go, Thank you Mark? Yes, right, yes, sir.

197
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:09,720
Speaker 1: I have to yeah, I can hear you find I

198
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 1: have to humor Tom. I love him to death and

199
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 1: I have to give him his moment in the sun.

200
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:16,559
Speaker 1: So but because without him, I wouldn't have my moment

201
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 1: in the sun. Um. But anyway, how can I help

202
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 1: you in your Euro eight? Hon to c RV Sir,

203
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 1: Welcome on board. Hi, before I talked to you about

204
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:27,959
Speaker 1: my CRV, I you know I noticed your picture on

205
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:32,320
Speaker 1: Facebook today and it reminded me so much. When I

206
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 1: was younger, my my dad had a fifty six Chevy

207
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 1: and I never forget. We'd pull into to get gas

208
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 1: and he'd say, watch this, and we watched the attendant

209
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 1: trying to figure out where the where the gas goes

210
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 1: because it's in that tale. Yeah yeah, anyway, anyway, my

211
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:54,440
Speaker 1: my my t PM, my t p M s light

212
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 1: on my hon to c r V will come on occasionally.

213
00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 1: It's been doing it for about six months and it

214
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 1: and it seems to be just be when I'm on

215
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 1: the freeway and and then when you know, when I'm

216
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:08,439
Speaker 1: like when I leave town and I'm on the freeway

217
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 1: for quite a long time, it will come on. It'll

218
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:14,960
Speaker 1: stay on until I stopped. And then sometimes when I

219
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:18,440
Speaker 1: started back again, it won't come on. Sometimes it will,

220
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:21,080
Speaker 1: I mean, and it's it's the t PN, it's the

221
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 1: system light. It's not that I have low pressure. And

222
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 1: I was just wondering what you thought. I mean, next

223
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 1: time I get tires, isn't there a sensor and the tires? Okay?

224
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 1: And what you've got to think about is this is

225
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 1: an OH eight. Are the tire pressure sensors? To your knowledge?

226
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:42,320
Speaker 1: Original that I don't know? You know, I know when

227
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 1: I've gotten tires before, they always say, well, we can

228
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 1: do a I don't know what. They change the batteries

229
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 1: and it's like a rebuild. They say we can rebuild. Well,

230
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 1: so so think of this, all right. Your car has

231
00:12:56,559 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 1: tire pressure sensors. They broadcast at three mega. Here's what

232
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:03,079
Speaker 1: we could bring Tom on. Tom will explain the radio

233
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 1: transmission cycle of a tire pressure sensors. It relates to radios,

234
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 1: but that's a whole another story. So each each sensor

235
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 1: produces a unique signal on the mega hurts band, all right,

236
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 1: And you have to think about that because if you

237
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 1: had to Honda c RV S or a Honda and

238
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 1: a Chevy, it doesn't matter if you had two cars

239
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:26,560
Speaker 1: sitting so close to each other at a traffic light.

240
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 1: How does the tire pressure sensor receiver in the Honda

241
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 1: not get confused with the signals coming out of the

242
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 1: Chevy or the Ford or whatever. Because each each each

243
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 1: vehicle has a unique set of signals learned to that

244
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:42,480
Speaker 1: vehicle so that it only it's only looking for it's

245
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:48,199
Speaker 1: four broadcast broadcasts. Okay, I'll say it like that. What

246
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 1: the what the repair shops are doing when they rotate

247
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 1: the tires. If your vehicle has tire placement capability such

248
00:13:57,360 --> 00:13:59,720
Speaker 1: that it knows where the left front is by virtue

249
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 1: of it, censor number one is now the left front,

250
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 1: it can report, Hey, left front tires thirty four, right

251
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 1: front tires thirty two, right rear tires thirty and so on. Okay, yeah,

252
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:13,560
Speaker 1: I don't think I have that capability of my car

253
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:16,680
Speaker 1: because I don't have I can't bring up a screen,

254
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 1: a little picture, a screen, right, I can't do anything

255
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 1: like that. So so so that's my my my main

256
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 1: my main question is is anything I need to worry

257
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 1: about or when I when I take my when I

258
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 1: go get new tires again, do I replace all the sensors.

259
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 1: They have a way of knowing which sensor is bad. Yes,

260
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 1: what you could do is so so to the point

261
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 1: if if those are the original sensors, which if you're

262
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:42,640
Speaker 1: the original owner and they've never been changed, you know,

263
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 1: the next time you buy probably are the next time

264
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 1: you buy tires. Sensors are between eighty and a hundred

265
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 1: bucks apiece, there's gonna be there's gonna be virtually no

266
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 1: labor if you're doing tires anyway. So for the price

267
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 1: of an extra four hundred bucks or whatever it is,

268
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:00,080
Speaker 1: you know, you get you get four good sensors in

269
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 1: the car, at least four new sensors. It's not hard

270
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 1: to do. It's it's to me, it's just part of

271
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 1: normal maintenance and upkeep. The only other thing you could try.

272
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 1: There's two things. One, a competently correctly equipped shop with

273
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 1: a scan tool could go in and look to see

274
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 1: is there a tire fault code being recorded? Because the

275
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 1: tire pressure monitoring system, the t PMS, has the ability

276
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 1: to report within itself. Hey we we didn't see a

277
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 1: signal out of the left front what happened to the

278
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 1: left front guy? Okay, what happened to the right rear guy?

279
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 1: And so on? All right, so it'll get a code

280
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 1: thirty four or something like that. So that's that's a possibility.

281
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 1: But the easiest thing is when you set tire pressure.

282
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 1: How do you set tire pressure based off of what number?

283
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 1: When I do it, yeah, I just I usually go

284
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:54,440
Speaker 1: a little more than what's on the car door. I

285
00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 1: think is like pounds. Perfect, you're doing it, I might

286
00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 1: put in right, you're doing it, would evenly, you know,

287
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 1: I check them and do them evenly all around all.

288
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 1: I'm just a little confused as why it's coming on

289
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 1: intermittently like it is too. Well, it's it's very it's

290
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 1: very likely a faulty sensor at that point, and the

291
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:17,200
Speaker 1: battery is just intermittently failing, or the sensor is just

292
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 1: intermittently failing. You ever have you ever have a car

293
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 1: with a bad alternator that sometimes it worked and sometimes

294
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 1: it didn't. Yeah, same thing, just smaller, smaller, smaller component.

295
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 1: So the only other possibility, and I don't believe in

296
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 1: oh eight this was an option, but I just mentioned

297
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:35,360
Speaker 1: it in case is what kind of a spare does

298
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 1: it have? Does it have a full sized spare with

299
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 1: a tire pressure sensor? Has that? No? I don't. I

300
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 1: don't believe it. I don't think you do either. I

301
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 1: think you have a donut. Yeah, I think you have

302
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 1: a donut. So that's sort of eliminated possibility. I guess

303
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 1: next time I go to get my tires, if if

304
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:52,960
Speaker 1: I'll take it to a place where they can I

305
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 1: don't mind paying for one sensor, but just to replace

306
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:58,080
Speaker 1: them all. If they can determine which one is not

307
00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 1: signaling properly, you can do it that way. But but

308
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:04,119
Speaker 1: but but keep in mind, Mark, you know we're talking

309
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 1: about a battery, all right. Battery tire pressure sensors do

310
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:12,800
Speaker 1: have a do have a finite life. They you know,

311
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 1: there's no rule that says, so your your argument's gonna

312
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 1: be and my experiences, And that's not to say that

313
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 1: you've got just one sensor causing the problem. You may

314
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:23,880
Speaker 1: pull codes, so now what do you do. Let's see,

315
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:26,200
Speaker 1: let's say you pull codes and it tells you you've

316
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 1: got a thirty two and a thirty four. You've got

317
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:30,639
Speaker 1: two bad sensors. Are you really going to do just

318
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 1: two and not the other two? Uh? Probably not, because

319
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:36,639
Speaker 1: because because the labor to do it you gotta take

320
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 1: the tire back apart again, balance it and mounted the

321
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:41,960
Speaker 1: whole nine yards. But you know when they when they

322
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 1: when they tell you they're going to rebuild the sensors,

323
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 1: doesn't then include a battery. No, they don't rebuild the sensors.

324
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 1: They relearn the sensors. They may they're programming, they're they're

325
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:56,199
Speaker 1: doing a tire calibration, which Hondas and a lot all

326
00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:58,680
Speaker 1: vehicles have to go through in order to tell the system, Hey,

327
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 1: we change tire pressure, we move things. We're relearning, Okay,

328
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:08,280
Speaker 1: not necessarily rebuild. I think they charged me like eighty

329
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 1: bucks last time to rebuild the sensors, and I assumed

330
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:14,199
Speaker 1: they were putting little batteries in them, or then for

331
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:16,919
Speaker 1: eighty bucks they better be changing sensors. I think I

332
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:18,720
Speaker 1: think I'd look at that bill carefully and go back

333
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:21,119
Speaker 1: and get an explanation of what that's all about. That

334
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:23,959
Speaker 1: doesn't make any sense. Good luck to you, Mark, and

335
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 1: uh keeping spinning, and I'll do what I can to

336
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 1: keep things going on this side. I'm run an anty

337
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 1: in the car. Doctor, we're coming back right after this.

338
00:18:30,320 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 1: Don't go away, let's get going. Let's go over to

339
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:07,600
Speaker 1: David and Georgia. David, how can it helps her? Ranting

340
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 1: the indien at your service? Well, that's the und to

341
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:14,760
Speaker 1: CRV day because I'm having trouble with my wife's two thousand,

342
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 1: fourteen h c RV so UH for some time now,

343
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:26,119
Speaker 1: as we drive, especially through neighborhoods, we'll hit about to

344
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 1: thirty two miles in an hour and the vehicle starts shaking.

345
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:34,479
Speaker 1: It doesn't it's not like it's going to fall apart,

346
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:38,880
Speaker 1: but there's definitely a vibration going on. Uh. We've been

347
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:42,200
Speaker 1: told it was the rear breaks and had that changed out.

348
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:47,360
Speaker 1: It's still there. We've we've gotten new tires, uh, and UM,

349
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:52,919
Speaker 1: it just keeps happening Uh. And I'm just concerned because

350
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 1: it is my wife's car that she's driving around that

351
00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:58,680
Speaker 1: there's something that may also just fall apart. Right. How

352
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:04,280
Speaker 1: many miles are on it? David? Okay? Um, if you

353
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 1: if you were to take your foot off the gases

354
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:14,680
Speaker 1: you're accelerating, does the shutter seem to go away or lesson? Um?

355
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 1: I think so. Have you seen Honda bulletin fifteen D

356
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 1: eight six talks about vibration, surging, shuttering under light acceleration. No,

357
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:29,320
Speaker 1: I have not. Okay, take a look at bulletin six.

358
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 1: There's a procedure from Honda they want you to They

359
00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:35,399
Speaker 1: want you to change the trans fluid and update the

360
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:39,560
Speaker 1: software in the trans for the trans control module as

361
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 1: a possible solution. All right, bulletin has been out there

362
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:46,560
Speaker 1: at least three years and I'm aware of it. And

363
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 1: basically they're they're widening the parameters of some of the

364
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 1: operating characteristics, but they're they're they're calling for a fluid change,

365
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:57,880
Speaker 1: which I find kind of refreshing that they're admitting they've

366
00:20:57,920 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 1: got an issue with fluid. You need to change the

367
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:01,680
Speaker 1: fluid on the Honda Trans And I should ask that

368
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:06,720
Speaker 1: question as the fluid ever been changed on this David, So,

369
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:09,879
Speaker 1: trans fluid has a finite life. I don't care what

370
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:12,800
Speaker 1: the manufacturers tell me, or tell you or tell us.

371
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:15,400
Speaker 1: You know, it's everything wears out. We're gonna wear out

372
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:19,480
Speaker 1: one day, right, so does fluid. And you know the

373
00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:23,440
Speaker 1: issue is you know where and when and how? So

374
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:26,360
Speaker 1: what what you're faced What you're faced with here is

375
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:30,000
Speaker 1: if you change this trans fluid and it accelerates the

376
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 1: demise of the transmission. Not saying it will, but it could.

377
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:34,879
Speaker 1: This could also be the beginning of the end of

378
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:38,000
Speaker 1: the transmission. Anyway, would you put a trans in this

379
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:45,520
Speaker 1: vehicle and keep driving it? Oh? Goodness? Probably not, so

380
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:50,119
Speaker 1: understand the ramifications. The issue with changing trans fluid on

381
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:53,720
Speaker 1: an older high mileage unit is quick and simple. Transfluid

382
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:58,920
Speaker 1: is a detergent, high scrubbing action type of fluid. Transmissions

383
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:03,840
Speaker 1: work on hydraulic print psible oil. Oil based fluids like

384
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:07,359
Speaker 1: this will leave a varnish or a coating on the

385
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:09,840
Speaker 1: inside of the component they're operating in. So now you

386
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:12,400
Speaker 1: drain out all the old fluid. There's varnished. There's ring

387
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:15,960
Speaker 1: around the tub, right, there's a bathtub ring. Okay, now

388
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 1: you put in this fresh fluid that's got a high

389
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:21,240
Speaker 1: scrubbing action. What's it gonna do. It's gonna scrub all

390
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 1: the particular off the walls of the trans Transmission operates

391
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:28,280
Speaker 1: on hydraulics passageways smaller than the eye of a needle.

392
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:30,479
Speaker 1: Guess what you just did with all those all that

393
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 1: crud you just scraped off the side of the trans

394
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:38,639
Speaker 1: now right, yeah, So so could it affect operation? It's possible,

395
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 1: all right, So this is the roll of the dice moment,

396
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:47,720
Speaker 1: all right. Lack of fluid, lack of fluid maintenance is

397
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:50,160
Speaker 1: the manufacturer's way to ensure that you're gonna come around

398
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 1: to buy another car. Think about that one. Think about

399
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:58,959
Speaker 1: that one, all right. They're just they're somewhere yesterday and

400
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 1: they recommended with the the drive axles be replaced. Is

401
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:05,920
Speaker 1: that at all? Could that at all be a part

402
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 1: of this? Could be? But before you did that, I

403
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 1: would definitely make sure I would follow that bulletin all right,

404
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:20,000
Speaker 1: you know, because they could take that, they could take

405
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:23,720
Speaker 1: the axles out. And let's talk about this a second, David.

406
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:28,119
Speaker 1: Let's say it needed a trans all right. A trans

407
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:32,480
Speaker 1: is a transit between four and five grand on average.

408
00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:34,560
Speaker 1: All right, what kind of car are you gonna go

409
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:39,640
Speaker 1: buy for five grand? Not much? Right? Is the rest

410
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:44,639
Speaker 1: of the car in good shape? Uh? Body want great stap?

411
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:50,240
Speaker 1: My wife's not real keen on the vehicles itself. Well,

412
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:54,280
Speaker 1: that's a different problem. I gotta, I gotta put I gotta,

413
00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:55,960
Speaker 1: I gotta change my shirt and put the collar on.

414
00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 1: To give you advice on that, brother, Um, because remember this,

415
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:04,800
Speaker 1: If mom is not happy, nobody's happy. So you know

416
00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:07,440
Speaker 1: you could you could solve a lot of problems right

417
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:09,879
Speaker 1: now by going in having dinner. When you have supper

418
00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:11,880
Speaker 1: with her tonight, say honey, you know what I thought

419
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 1: about the car, And she says, yeah, what's that? Say

420
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:17,160
Speaker 1: what color? And she'll say what color? What? What color?

421
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:19,600
Speaker 1: Do you want the new car to be? I guarantee

422
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:24,520
Speaker 1: you Mama will be happy. But that doesn't fix it.

423
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:27,119
Speaker 1: That doesn't fix the potential trans problem. You've got some

424
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:29,000
Speaker 1: stuff to do there, David. I can't help you with

425
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:30,960
Speaker 1: all of it. I'm just trying to give you food

426
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:33,320
Speaker 1: for thought. But I would think carefully. Maybe there's a

427
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:35,639
Speaker 1: young family member that could use a decent used car.

428
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:39,040
Speaker 1: Something like that, UM might be worth while. But you know,

429
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:42,080
Speaker 1: keep in mind that replacement vehicles are at a premium

430
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:45,359
Speaker 1: right now. And if you want to see the value

431
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:47,439
Speaker 1: of that car, go look at used cars with like

432
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:51,879
Speaker 1: mileagen and condition. You'll be you'll be surprised by what

433
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:55,120
Speaker 1: that car could potentially be worth if it's operating properly.

434
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:57,680
Speaker 1: So good luck to you. And uh, if mom is

435
00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:00,280
Speaker 1: not happy, nobody's happy. Remember that. Let's get out over

436
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:02,560
Speaker 1: to Kennan, Virginia real quick. We'll open up the conversation

437
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:06,080
Speaker 1: before we take a one one more break. Ken. Welcome

438
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 1: to the car doctor, sir. How can I help? I

439
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 1: have a two thousand and seventeen four to explore front

440
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:18,440
Speaker 1: wheel drive, thousand miles on. It had no problems with

441
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:22,359
Speaker 1: it whatsoever, but I bought new tires and I had

442
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:25,760
Speaker 1: them rotated, and not long after that, I started hearing

443
00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:29,000
Speaker 1: a whining in the front when I would take my

444
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:32,879
Speaker 1: foot off the accelerator, so it changes. Didn't have the

445
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:37,240
Speaker 1: transmission fluid checked and it was at the proper level.

446
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:44,879
Speaker 1: So a a wine that changes with load is generally

447
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:48,919
Speaker 1: a drive train issue. In the old days, before before

448
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:51,000
Speaker 1: we invented front wheel drive, if it was a rear

449
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:54,040
Speaker 1: wheel drive vehicle, we would classify it as a failing

450
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:58,320
Speaker 1: or faulty pinion bearing in the rear axle. If this

451
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:01,800
Speaker 1: is a front wheel drive only vehicle. Fortunately there's a

452
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:04,119
Speaker 1: whole lot less to look at and consider, but it

453
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:08,080
Speaker 1: still does have pinion bearings and a front axle somewhere

454
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:12,359
Speaker 1: in that combination of transmission and power takeoff unit. So

455
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:15,199
Speaker 1: my first question or comment would be can it be

456
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:17,119
Speaker 1: duplicated on a lift? And I realized you don't know

457
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:19,520
Speaker 1: the answer to that question, but I would, you know,

458
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:21,239
Speaker 1: take it to a mechanic, have them put it up

459
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:24,200
Speaker 1: in the air, secure it properly. One mechanic driving in

460
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:27,640
Speaker 1: another mechanic listening underneath with the stethoscope to determine which

461
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:32,880
Speaker 1: components making noise. If the noise is completely gone up

462
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 1: in the air and running, then maybe it's tire related.

463
00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:41,359
Speaker 1: But from your description, it doesn't sound like it, okay

464
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:44,240
Speaker 1: from your From from your description, I'd be more inclined

465
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:54,120
Speaker 1: to think it's power train and power right right, good move.

466
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:59,680
Speaker 1: I'm thinking that anything in the drive train is under warranty,

467
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:02,399
Speaker 1: so I'll take it into the dealer and see what

468
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:06,080
Speaker 1: they say about it. They do have they do have

469
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:10,320
Speaker 1: problems with the power takeoff unit the p TU. But

470
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:13,560
Speaker 1: your mechanic, whoever is working on it currently, should have

471
00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:15,639
Speaker 1: been telling you if if there is usually it's the

472
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 1: sign it's a one of the external acle chef seal

473
00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:23,880
Speaker 1: on the right side leaks and makes a bloody mess. Uh.

474
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:27,959
Speaker 1: You know garage is clean, so I'll have no leaks,

475
00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:30,399
Speaker 1: so you have no leaks. So yeah, let's get it

476
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:31,840
Speaker 1: back to Ford and get them to look at it.

477
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:34,120
Speaker 1: I don't I can't say that it's I can't say

478
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:36,720
Speaker 1: that it's tire related. From your description to me, it

479
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:39,720
Speaker 1: sounds like it's more drivetrain something under load and then

480
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:42,520
Speaker 1: you change the load and it changes, the changes the noise.

481
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:46,439
Speaker 1: So alright, sorry, You're very welcome. You have a good

482
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:50,680
Speaker 1: rest of the day. Very welcome. Bye bye zero zero

483
00:27:50,680 --> 00:28:04,240
Speaker 1: the card doctors coming back right after this. Welcome back

484
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:06,600
Speaker 1: when the car doctor at your service, Scooter Philip and

485
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:12,240
Speaker 1: Vermont Philip, how are you today? Good welcome awards, sir, Yes, sir,

486
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:16,439
Speaker 1: I'm just calling in. You had a guy called earlier

487
00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:20,280
Speaker 1: on the Chevy pick up. He had a rattling noise

488
00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 1: down by the bellhousing. You couldn't figure it out. Robert

489
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:27,840
Speaker 1: and Robert and Delaware. I think it was our Maryland yip. Yeah,

490
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:31,399
Speaker 1: I had a similar issue. I had an older Chevy

491
00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:35,280
Speaker 1: band and and drove me crazy. For the longest time,

492
00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:37,720
Speaker 1: I thought it was the flex plate that had been

493
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:42,600
Speaker 1: cracked or whatever. But I ended up taking the transmission

494
00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:47,400
Speaker 1: off and checking the the flex plate. I actually put

495
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:49,680
Speaker 1: another one on because I did buy one, and uh

496
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:54,760
Speaker 1: put it all back together, and things were even worse. Well,

497
00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:59,520
Speaker 1: it turned out to be my starter, the bendix, the

498
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:04,960
Speaker 1: spring runs the bendits on the starter that turns the

499
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:08,480
Speaker 1: fly wheel. That spring was weak and the bend itt

500
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:12,760
Speaker 1: was just slipping down and was just hitting the flex plate. Right,

501
00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 1: was your was your problem? Was your problem like his?

502
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 1: And that it only did it when the temperature dropped

503
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:24,120
Speaker 1: below fifty degrees No, but it started just gently, you know,

504
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:28,120
Speaker 1: then it got worse. So and what I ended up doing,

505
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:30,560
Speaker 1: I just know the two boats on the starter, I

506
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:33,200
Speaker 1: just loosened them up one day in the morning there

507
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:36,040
Speaker 1: when it was doing it, and just backed that starter

508
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:38,080
Speaker 1: out just a little bit and it cleared it up.

509
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:43,720
Speaker 1: So there's something he can try, I guess so he could,

510
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:45,920
Speaker 1: But I just want to point out I appreciate the call.

511
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:47,480
Speaker 1: Philip I really do. But he had a little bit

512
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:50,960
Speaker 1: of a different problem. His scenario was only in cold weather.

513
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:54,200
Speaker 1: The weather had to be specifically below fifty degrees. That's

514
00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:57,080
Speaker 1: when his problem was created. So but you know what,

515
00:29:57,080 --> 00:29:59,200
Speaker 1: we'll pass it along. Should we talk again to Robert

516
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:01,680
Speaker 1: and UH. As always, we appreciate all the inside our

517
00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:03,880
Speaker 1: listeners give us. Let's get over to Terry in Iowa.

518
00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:06,200
Speaker 1: Three Toyota camera. Terry, welcome to the car doctor. How

519
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:09,200
Speaker 1: can I help? Thank you. I've got a two thousand

520
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:15,240
Speaker 1: three V six camera and it'll start but immediately and

521
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:18,400
Speaker 1: RPMs go up to about three and then they fall

522
00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:23,480
Speaker 1: down quickly and the car dies. I checked for voltage

523
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:27,120
Speaker 1: back at the fuel pump, and when I turned the

524
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:30,680
Speaker 1: ignition key to the on position, I get no voltage

525
00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:36,840
Speaker 1: at all. I checked the relay and it's okay. And

526
00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 1: when I bypass the relay, the fuel pump will run

527
00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:47,080
Speaker 1: and I'll get about eleven and three and a half

528
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:51,600
Speaker 1: volts back at the pump. While it's running, I checked

529
00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:56,200
Speaker 1: the terminals on the relay socket, and on two of

530
00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:59,560
Speaker 1: the terminals, which I think are the control side, I'm

531
00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:01,760
Speaker 1: showing a voltage when the ignition key is in the

532
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:05,640
Speaker 1: on position of three point to eight. On the other

533
00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:09,960
Speaker 1: two terminals, the power side, I'm getting twelve point one.

534
00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:16,000
Speaker 1: But I still unless I jumped the relay, I can't

535
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:18,880
Speaker 1: get any power back to the fuel pump itself, and

536
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:21,560
Speaker 1: the car won't run more than a second or two.

537
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:25,200
Speaker 1: So in other words, in other words, it's it's got

538
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 1: no fuel pressure. Um, well, I haven't checked the fuel

539
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:31,520
Speaker 1: pressure yet. But you don't hear the pump running. I

540
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:33,280
Speaker 1: don't know. When you turn the ignition key to the

541
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:36,600
Speaker 1: on position, you don't hear the pump running at all. Okay?

542
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:41,520
Speaker 1: Does it Does it have spark um? Yes, because the

543
00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:44,960
Speaker 1: car will start and RPMs go really high and then

544
00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:48,560
Speaker 1: it will slowly die. Does it happen the accelerator pedal?

545
00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:52,640
Speaker 1: It won't do anything. Does it have injector pulse? I'm

546
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:54,600
Speaker 1: not sure. I haven't been able to hear that I

547
00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:56,600
Speaker 1: can't get the car to run. Will I hear that

548
00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:58,479
Speaker 1: without the car running? Sure? If if you can get

549
00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:02,840
Speaker 1: at the crank it cranks right, Okay, chances are it will,

550
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:06,240
Speaker 1: but it would tell me something because other than that,

551
00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:08,960
Speaker 1: we're into It's not that the fuel pump is bad.

552
00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:11,400
Speaker 1: We've got no signal back to the fuel pump. So

553
00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:14,640
Speaker 1: we've got to figure out what's it missing, all right,

554
00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:19,560
Speaker 1: and i'd want to know no spark, spark, injector pulse,

555
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:23,120
Speaker 1: no injector pulse, and then we can talk about inputs

556
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:26,560
Speaker 1: as far as what keeps the pump to run. I'll

557
00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:28,239
Speaker 1: tell you what, Terry, Sit tight. Let me pull over

558
00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:30,480
Speaker 1: and take this pause. When I come back, we'll finish up.

559
00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:32,440
Speaker 1: I'm running eating the car doctor. We'll be back right

560
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:41,600
Speaker 1: after this. Welcome back. Aren't any of the car doctor? Terry? Ayo,

561
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:44,600
Speaker 1: where you're still there? Right? I'll tell you what I

562
00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:47,080
Speaker 1: really think is wrong with this car, and it's it's

563
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:49,479
Speaker 1: gonna be a reach, but but but help me here

564
00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:51,680
Speaker 1: and work with me here. I think you got a mouse.

565
00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:56,040
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you why has this car sat for

566
00:32:56,080 --> 00:33:00,000
Speaker 1: any length of time just out of curiosity? Only recently

567
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:03,800
Speaker 1: when I couldn't get it started, and it worked one

568
00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:07,280
Speaker 1: day and then one day it didn't. Well. Actually I

569
00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:09,920
Speaker 1: had taken it. I was having problems with it running

570
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:13,760
Speaker 1: rough and missing, and I had replaced all the coils,

571
00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:16,520
Speaker 1: six coils and six plugs. I put on a new

572
00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:19,680
Speaker 1: timing belt and it had a very high idol and

573
00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:21,520
Speaker 1: it was missing. So I took it to a mechanic

574
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:25,360
Speaker 1: and they said one of the coils had a bad

575
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:29,240
Speaker 1: wiring harness to it, and they replaced that. When I

576
00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:31,640
Speaker 1: picked it up from their shop, I drove it home.

577
00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:36,560
Speaker 1: And when I got home, h I cleaned the throttle

578
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:39,600
Speaker 1: body and I was in the process of flushing out

579
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:43,880
Speaker 1: the power our steering system when it died. And then

580
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:46,880
Speaker 1: I couldn't get it started. It would only start for

581
00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:50,360
Speaker 1: a few seconds, accelerate where rpns would go real high,

582
00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:53,520
Speaker 1: and then drop off really quick. And and that's where

583
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:56,720
Speaker 1: it's It hasn't been driven for a couple of weeks

584
00:33:56,760 --> 00:33:59,400
Speaker 1: now because I've had this problem. Okay, which which inject

585
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:01,480
Speaker 1: or did they placed your call front of the motor

586
00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:04,560
Speaker 1: back of the motor. They didn't replace an inject not

587
00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:08,839
Speaker 1: an inject of the wiring behind on the number three. Oh,

588
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:10,400
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, the coil so it was one of the

589
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:17,760
Speaker 1: back wiring harnesses. Okay, have you looked at that repair? Um,

590
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:19,440
Speaker 1: I have not looked at it real quickly. You have

591
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:22,520
Speaker 1: to take the airplane to do that. I have not looked.

592
00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:25,400
Speaker 1: I can see the wires that they replaced because they

593
00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:29,200
Speaker 1: are different than the originals. Does it? Does it look

594
00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:33,080
Speaker 1: like a proper repair to me? It does. I mean

595
00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:36,200
Speaker 1: the connection looks good and the wires come in and

596
00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:42,160
Speaker 1: they're clean. Yet on a on a Toyota, Toyota calls

597
00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:46,160
Speaker 1: the fuel pump relay the circuit opening relay, and it

598
00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:48,919
Speaker 1: should be in the underhood junction box on the left

599
00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:54,840
Speaker 1: front side right, So the ground for the circuit opening relay,

600
00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:57,799
Speaker 1: if memory serves me correct, goes to the back of

601
00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:03,239
Speaker 1: the rear cylinder head. And I'm wondering if that's intact,

602
00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:07,560
Speaker 1: because I'm thinking about your voltage readings and the one

603
00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:14,280
Speaker 1: voltage reading what you thought was the control side showed high.

604
00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:19,080
Speaker 1: It showed three point seven five volts. Yeah, that doesn't

605
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:23,960
Speaker 1: sound right, and it should be zero. Ground is ground

606
00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:28,120
Speaker 1: if it's closing the circuit, So why is that? Why

607
00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:30,480
Speaker 1: is that like that? Do we have a problem with
