UM part 30 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:32,240 Speaker 1: of the Great UH Financial team of Dolan's Kennon, Dariya 31 00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:35,040 Speaker 1: Dolan and Tom and I. Before the show today, I said, 32 00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:38,240 Speaker 1: you know, Tom, I've got a video of when Ken 33 00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:40,680 Speaker 1: and I and Darry were together on air when they 34 00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:42,920 Speaker 1: did a show on CNN Financial and we were talking 35 00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,240 Speaker 1: about cars. And I went and I found the clip 36 00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:46,680 Speaker 1: and I was just looking at it before we went 37 00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:49,120 Speaker 1: on air today and and it's it's it's a very 38 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:53,360 Speaker 1: strange feeling because in watching the clip, which is I 39 00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:58,240 Speaker 1: think about eighteen years old, maybe maybe sixteen, so somewhere 40 00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:01,440 Speaker 1: in that time for him, all the things I said 41 00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:04,560 Speaker 1: then are are true today. It hasn't changed in the 42 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,200 Speaker 1: sense that we were talking about finding a good mechanic 43 00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:10,079 Speaker 1: and I said, you know, maybe this is a a 44 00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:12,880 Speaker 1: timely topic. It seems like it's still a timely topic, 45 00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 1: finding a good mechanic. It has not changed. And I 46 00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 1: think some of the things I said then, I think 47 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,280 Speaker 1: all of the things I said then are still true today. 48 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:25,359 Speaker 1: The industry has not cleaned itself up, and I have 49 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,079 Speaker 1: to I'm gonna have to think about why one of 50 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:31,560 Speaker 1: the comments I made in the video, it was a conversation, 51 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:33,880 Speaker 1: Kenned asked me. He said, Ron, So I'm looking for 52 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,320 Speaker 1: a good mechanic. What are some of the things and 53 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:38,040 Speaker 1: the ways that I go about doing that? And I 54 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 1: really believe this to to to today to be true 55 00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 1: in that mechanics are very prideful. The good ones are 56 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:49,160 Speaker 1: the ones that are no nonsense. And maybe we've got 57 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:51,080 Speaker 1: a needgo and maybe we need to Maybe you need 58 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 1: to have an ego to fixed cars. You know, it's um, 59 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 1: it's not an easy job. It's it's it's something that 60 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,480 Speaker 1: takes uh, it goes beyond just the paycheck, it goes 61 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,160 Speaker 1: beyond hey, can you solve that problem? And there's a 62 00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:02,519 Speaker 1: bit of pride in that, and there's a bit of 63 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 1: ego in that, and I think I think there has 64 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:06,960 Speaker 1: to be something that inside the person that says, hey, 65 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,240 Speaker 1: I can fix anything you throw at me, or at 66 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:12,040 Speaker 1: least give it a good shot. And I said that 67 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:13,519 Speaker 1: can I said, you know, Ken, One of the things 68 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 1: I think consumers need to think about and going to 69 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:21,359 Speaker 1: find a good mechanic is what kind of tools do 70 00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 1: they have? Hey? I you know I own I own 71 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:26,760 Speaker 1: a Volvo? Can you work on a Volvo? Do you 72 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,679 Speaker 1: have the tooling for a Volvo? The internal combustion engine 73 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,160 Speaker 1: hasn't changed between the Volvo and the Chevy, but the 74 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,560 Speaker 1: ways that that vehicle comes to market and the way 75 00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:38,040 Speaker 1: that vehicle goes about dealing with the mission controls and 76 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,560 Speaker 1: electronics and everything else that makes that vehicle what it 77 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:44,240 Speaker 1: is that's unique. Do you have the tools for a Volvo? 78 00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:47,440 Speaker 1: You know? Just because and I said this and talking 79 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:51,080 Speaker 1: to them on their television show, just because you've got 80 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 1: an a s C patch and your l one and 81 00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 1: your master Tech and you've got all the certifications, you 82 00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 1: may not have a scan tool that can talk to 83 00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 1: that car. And that's going to make working on that 84 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:04,640 Speaker 1: car in some cases impossible, in most cases difficult, because 85 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:08,400 Speaker 1: at some point that car is gonna need some electronic care. 86 00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,160 Speaker 1: You're gonna have to have some electronic technology to get 87 00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 1: into that car and and deal with some of the issues. 88 00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:15,240 Speaker 1: And it could be something very simple. It could be 89 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:19,520 Speaker 1: something as simple as just doing an oil change and 90 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,800 Speaker 1: doing an oil light reset or tire pressure monitor reset. 91 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:27,680 Speaker 1: And that's important. So if you're looking for a repair shop, 92 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,480 Speaker 1: as the mechanic, hey can I see your tools? Can 93 00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,240 Speaker 1: I take a tour of the shop. Most mechanics will 94 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 1: do that. Most mechanics are eager to have you do that. It's, 95 00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:38,720 Speaker 1: like I said, a source of pride. It just um, 96 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,080 Speaker 1: it's just it's fun for them and it's fun for you. 97 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:43,560 Speaker 1: You know, Hey, here's where I'm gonna be working on 98 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,000 Speaker 1: your car, and here's what we're gonna be doing. One 99 00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:49,200 Speaker 1: of the other things I mentioned to Ken was I said, 100 00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:52,000 Speaker 1: you know, it's cleanliness. It was cleanliness, then it's cleanliness. 101 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:54,600 Speaker 1: Now how clean is the shop? And it doesn't have 102 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:56,640 Speaker 1: to well, maybe it does have to be hospital clean, 103 00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:01,200 Speaker 1: maybe it does have to be you know, sparkling white, 104 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:04,080 Speaker 1: but in reality, it's really got to be so that 105 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,120 Speaker 1: when you walk in the door, your feet don't stick 106 00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:08,440 Speaker 1: to the floor, you're not tripping over things, and there's 107 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:12,080 Speaker 1: you know, it's general care and concern. And I've always 108 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 1: said this the waiting room if there is a waiting room, 109 00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,680 Speaker 1: and hopefully there is, and I'm not saying you need one, 110 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 1: but it's nice to have the waiting room, or that 111 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:24,520 Speaker 1: first impression the outside of the shop, whatever, that first 112 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:28,480 Speaker 1: piece of eye candy. Is that that that hits the 113 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:31,520 Speaker 1: eye of the consumer, that's probably what you're getting on 114 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:35,839 Speaker 1: the inside, all right. It's you know, it's a funny thing. 115 00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,680 Speaker 1: I'll walk into the shop Monday morning and I'll look 116 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,560 Speaker 1: down on the ground opening up the gate and a 117 00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,800 Speaker 1: piece of garbage blue on the property from somebody else 118 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,400 Speaker 1: over the weekend, and I'll have to pick that up. 119 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:49,760 Speaker 1: That'll bother me all day. It could be a little cigarette, 120 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:51,120 Speaker 1: but it could be a piece. And I guess that's 121 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:53,560 Speaker 1: just the way I am. And someone once said to me, 122 00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 1: you know, that's a reflection on what goes on inside 123 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:57,280 Speaker 1: the shop, and I never forgot that. And it's the truth. 124 00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:00,359 Speaker 1: The outside is what the inside looks like generally, should 125 00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:04,600 Speaker 1: or could? Does that make mechanics honest? No, because that 126 00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:06,400 Speaker 1: was the last thing Ken asked me. He said, how 127 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:08,640 Speaker 1: do you tell you know you've got an honest mechanic? 128 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,440 Speaker 1: And I said, Ken, you know, a lot of it 129 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,200 Speaker 1: is guesswork, but a lot of it is also general feeling. 130 00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:16,800 Speaker 1: A lot of it's about the relationship and you know, 131 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 1: what sort of relationship do you have with the mechanic 132 00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:21,280 Speaker 1: and what kind of relationship are you allowing the mechanic 133 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:26,200 Speaker 1: to build? You know, people are people are interesting. You 134 00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:28,920 Speaker 1: you give them a minute to to do the right 135 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,520 Speaker 1: thing or what you think is the right thing, and 136 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:34,280 Speaker 1: you've got to give him that that opportunity to take 137 00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:36,480 Speaker 1: that minute, and you've got to you know, what can 138 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:40,120 Speaker 1: they do and will they do it? And you know 139 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:44,360 Speaker 1: I said it then with Kennan Daria Dolan sixteen years ago, 140 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:46,560 Speaker 1: and I'm saying it today. You know, it only takes 141 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,360 Speaker 1: a second to do the right thing and it it 142 00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:53,640 Speaker 1: really is, you know what auto mechanics are about. You know, 143 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:58,440 Speaker 1: we keep America rolling and that's a very important part 144 00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 1: of the puzzle when it comes to the economy, when 145 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:02,200 Speaker 1: it comes to the country, when it comes to the 146 00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:06,360 Speaker 1: fabric of of what America is about. But a tip 147 00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:08,560 Speaker 1: of the hat today, and uh, you know, rest in peace, 148 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:11,840 Speaker 1: Buddy Kendlan gone this week.

You know what the good thing is, you know, 152 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:21,360 Speaker 1: the bad thing is what you have not changed a bit? Well, 153 00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:24,200 Speaker 1: still just as ugly as you were. Well, I was 154 00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:26,760 Speaker 1: just I'm just old. You know.

You're hearing your mustache. Well, I 157 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:33,720 Speaker 1: can tell you where the gray came from.

Did it 161 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:42,400 Speaker 1: come from? Well, it came from having a look at 162 00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:46,040 Speaker 1: YouTube for the past six years, okay, all right? Or 163 00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:49,000 Speaker 1: it came from on a more serious note, the gray 164 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:52,760 Speaker 1: probably came from when the kid went overseas, you know, 165 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:54,560 Speaker 1: and I always you know, people say, well you got 166 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:55,880 Speaker 1: a little gray, and I go, yeah, you see this 167 00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:57,600 Speaker 1: spot here?

Let's go over and talk to Micah up 283 00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:36,600 Speaker 1: in Maine. Fifteen Subaru, Michael, Welcome to the car doctor, sir. 284 00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:39,560 Speaker 1: How can I help? Well, Ron, I got a question 285 00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:41,120 Speaker 1: for you, and I know you'll be able to answer 286 00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:43,400 Speaker 1: this easily. I wish my dealership could do it as 287 00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:46,080 Speaker 1: easily as you can. You've got a two thousand and 288 00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:49,680 Speaker 1: fifteen Subaru and it's due, it's three years old. It's 289 00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:52,360 Speaker 1: gonna do for its three years service in May and 290 00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:54,280 Speaker 1: I went in to talk to them about it, and 291 00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:56,960 Speaker 1: I said, look, I've got a low mileage on this vehicle. 292 00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:59,720 Speaker 1: It's only got twenty one miles on it right now, 293 00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:02,800 Speaker 1: but it's three years old. Now. I have a prepaid 294 00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:06,880 Speaker 1: service plan which goes by mileage. Unfortunately it doesn't really 295 00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:09,320 Speaker 1: talk about years. So I said, so what should we do? 296 00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:11,360 Speaker 1: He said, well, he only got twenty tho miles, so 297 00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:13,120 Speaker 1: we should be doing this. And I said, but it's 298 00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:16,800 Speaker 1: three years old. So I guess the question is what 299 00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:19,520 Speaker 1: should I be doing at three years that I can 300 00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:21,320 Speaker 1: tell them we got to add this in, we gotta 301 00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:23,560 Speaker 1: do this, we got to do that. That needs to 302 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:25,440 Speaker 1: be done by time versus years, and a lot of 303 00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:27,520 Speaker 1: people aren't putting as many miles on the car as 304 00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:29,760 Speaker 1: they once did. So I think this is an important 305 00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:32,880 Speaker 1: service thing that everybody needs to understand. And all my 306 00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:34,880 Speaker 1: dealership does good work. When you tell them what to do, 307 00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:38,680 Speaker 1: they don't often know what's supposed to be done. You know, Mica, 308 00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:42,120 Speaker 1: it's a great question. I remember the first year I 309 00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:45,000 Speaker 1: had done the engine in the hot rod. It's sat 310 00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:49,160 Speaker 1: that first winter, and you know, here was something you 311 00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:51,040 Speaker 1: know as a small block Chevy. I put in the 312 00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:55,280 Speaker 1: fifty five Chevrolet and uh, you know, no expense spared 313 00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:57,240 Speaker 1: kind of a thing, you know, the midlife crisis. Let's 314 00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:59,240 Speaker 1: build a hot rod motor, make five horse para, go 315 00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:01,520 Speaker 1: out and play on this three kind of thing. And 316 00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:05,000 Speaker 1: I remember that first winter I wanted to take the 317 00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:08,440 Speaker 1: valve covers off I had for whatever reason, new doesn't 318 00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:11,400 Speaker 1: mean good, right. The the driver's side valve cover had 319 00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:14,320 Speaker 1: developed a valve cover gasket leaks. I had to change 320 00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:15,720 Speaker 1: the gasket and go in and look at it and 321 00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:17,760 Speaker 1: so forth. And here's a here's a motor that had 322 00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:22,040 Speaker 1: I don't think it had on it that first season, 323 00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:25,760 Speaker 1: and it was it was, you know, just factor refresh 324 00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:29,320 Speaker 1: my gosh, and pulled the valve cover off, and you 325 00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:31,080 Speaker 1: know there was there was oil up top in the 326 00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:33,240 Speaker 1: in the rocky area. This was after it had sat 327 00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:36,840 Speaker 1: for two months. Um, this was midwinter. And I'll never 328 00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:39,040 Speaker 1: forget there was just water in the top of the 329 00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:40,760 Speaker 1: valve cover. In the in the top of the head. 330 00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:44,640 Speaker 1: You know, condensation had formed from sitting time. Time had 331 00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:46,440 Speaker 1: you know, worked its way in there, and it was 332 00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:51,120 Speaker 1: it was creating a moisture issue. And you know, I 333 00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:53,680 Speaker 1: know time is an issue that I don't know, we 334 00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:55,480 Speaker 1: don't seem to think about it, but that just sort 335 00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:58,680 Speaker 1: of stuck with me. Um. I've always said time, you know, 336 00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:01,480 Speaker 1: counts towards order repair in terms of what you do. 337 00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:03,800 Speaker 1: But you know, that one just sort of hit home 338 00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:07,680 Speaker 1: because here was you know, here's here's my baby all 339 00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:10,760 Speaker 1: with with moisture issues. Um So, I think the dealer 340 00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:12,320 Speaker 1: has got to look at at time as a real 341 00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:16,440 Speaker 1: big factor, especially up in Maine. It's cold, it's it's winter, 342 00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:20,120 Speaker 1: it's bad weather, it sits. Um. I would I would 343 00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:23,080 Speaker 1: be thinking about any and all possible fluids. I would 344 00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:26,480 Speaker 1: probably think about drive a line fluids at this stage 345 00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:30,280 Speaker 1: of the game. It's early, but you know moisture and 346 00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:32,760 Speaker 1: condensation are going to get in there. That's it's probably 347 00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:36,000 Speaker 1: out in all sorts of crummy snowy weather. Right, that's 348 00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:39,680 Speaker 1: sub b ruse thing. That's it. And and it's it's 349 00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:44,560 Speaker 1: not garage unfortunately. Uh so we're talking about transmission fluid change. Yeah, 350 00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:47,640 Speaker 1: now that's probably got a CVT in it. And they're 351 00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:49,879 Speaker 1: gonna they're gonna argue that point from now till the 352 00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:52,520 Speaker 1: cows come home. Um. I have a customer with a 353 00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:55,240 Speaker 1: CVT and verbs listening. He knows who he is, and 354 00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:56,880 Speaker 1: we're gonna put a trends on that in the next 355 00:17:57,119 --> 00:17:59,040 Speaker 1: week or so. I have to get it scheduled into 356 00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:01,680 Speaker 1: the shop. We're so busy this the next couple of weeks. 357 00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:05,120 Speaker 1: But um at a hundred and whatever, he's got something 358 00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:08,560 Speaker 1: thousand miles on it. His CVT is failing. And you 359 00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:10,520 Speaker 1: know here's a you know, we never need to service 360 00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:12,520 Speaker 1: the fluid. It's a c VT. Well, I'm starting to 361 00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:14,600 Speaker 1: rethink that. You know what, how about if we service 362 00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:16,520 Speaker 1: it every couple of years, every so many miles and 363 00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:19,159 Speaker 1: let's see what sort of a result happens. Um you 364 00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:21,600 Speaker 1: know normally, I'm I'm starting to think about c VT 365 00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:24,520 Speaker 1: s every thirty because you know, the nice thing about 366 00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:26,359 Speaker 1: auto repair is it's a it's a change on the 367 00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:29,200 Speaker 1: fly sort of thing. You can adapt the real world. 368 00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:31,840 Speaker 1: But you know, maybe a twenty one tho miles you 369 00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:33,679 Speaker 1: want to change it once just to see look at 370 00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:37,480 Speaker 1: coloration of the fluid and you know, looking for signs 371 00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:40,000 Speaker 1: of contamination and what's gonna come out and how's it 372 00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:43,159 Speaker 1: gonna look and uh, you know the hard part with 373 00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:46,280 Speaker 1: service plans, and you know, The dealers are up against it, 374 00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:48,680 Speaker 1: and I give them a lot of credit. You know, 375 00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:51,119 Speaker 1: they're trying to sell you a car that doesn't need 376 00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:53,680 Speaker 1: maintenance because that's what the marketing department says, because we 377 00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:56,040 Speaker 1: don't want to tell people that it requires service, otherwise 378 00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:58,879 Speaker 1: they won't come back and buy another one. Um. You 379 00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,960 Speaker 1: know the questions you're asking, Micah, you're in the minority today. 380 00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:04,520 Speaker 1: Most people are asking, Hey, what's the least I can do? 381 00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:06,280 Speaker 1: Drive at half a million miles. I don't want to 382 00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:09,040 Speaker 1: spend any money on it. It's only a car. And 383 00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:12,480 Speaker 1: you know that's the highways are littered on the side 384 00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:15,520 Speaker 1: of the roads. People are stuck thousands of ideas of 385 00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:18,200 Speaker 1: it's only a car and how important could it be? UM, 386 00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:20,760 Speaker 1: So I would be thinking about drive line fluids. I 387 00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:23,359 Speaker 1: would be thinking about trans fluid. I would definitely do 388 00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:26,879 Speaker 1: a break fluid flush, absolutely positively, don't care what the 389 00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:29,639 Speaker 1: fluid looks like. It's three years old, you know they 390 00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:32,159 Speaker 1: say every two to three years break fluid absorbs. It's 391 00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:35,400 Speaker 1: absorbed enough moisture at this point, and it now would 392 00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:37,159 Speaker 1: be a good time when they open up the bleeders 393 00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:39,400 Speaker 1: on the break fluid on the calipers. I would take 394 00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:40,840 Speaker 1: the bleeders all the way at. I'd put a da 395 00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:42,520 Speaker 1: have a grease on it, put it back together, make 396 00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:44,680 Speaker 1: sure we don't overtighten them. Said, we'll come out again 397 00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:47,320 Speaker 1: in another two years. UM, I would be thinking about 398 00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:51,280 Speaker 1: doing a rubber suspension loobe UM, either either w D 399 00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:54,760 Speaker 1: forty or some other uh spray on lubricants something with 400 00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:56,440 Speaker 1: maybe a little bit of silicon in it to just 401 00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:59,000 Speaker 1: sort of soften up all the rubber bushings and um, 402 00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:01,920 Speaker 1: you know, help keep things supple and soft, because it 403 00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:05,200 Speaker 1: is it's like you said, three years old, it's time. UM. 404 00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:08,080 Speaker 1: You know, obviously rubber becomes an issue. You know, years 405 00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:10,800 Speaker 1: ago in Japan, any car that had rubber on it. 406 00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:13,280 Speaker 1: I think I believe it was mandated by law every 407 00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:16,320 Speaker 1: two to three years, every piece of rubber was changed 408 00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:17,840 Speaker 1: on the vehicle. Which is why. And I think this 409 00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:20,800 Speaker 1: goes back to the nineties, UM, when they were doing this, 410 00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:24,239 Speaker 1: that they required rubber components to be changed because they 411 00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:26,600 Speaker 1: felt that the rubber was breaking down and causing issues 412 00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:29,840 Speaker 1: and it created a lot of turnover vehicles, uh in Japan. 413 00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:31,480 Speaker 1: And UM, I don't know if it's still done today, 414 00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:33,840 Speaker 1: but I always thought about that too. Time. They were 415 00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:37,760 Speaker 1: smart enough to recognize time. You know, when the dealer says, hey, Mike, 416 00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:39,440 Speaker 1: there's nothing wrong with it, it's so it's only gone 417 00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:42,119 Speaker 1: twenty one thousand Miles asked the guy. Listen, if you 418 00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:44,480 Speaker 1: sat in a chair three years ago, and and you 419 00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:47,359 Speaker 1: know you just sat there, you've still aged three years. 420 00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:49,439 Speaker 1: You don't feel as good today as you did three 421 00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:52,080 Speaker 1: years ago because you've gotten older. Same thing with the car. 422 00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:54,440 Speaker 1: You gotta kind of try and restore youth back to it. 423 00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:57,239 Speaker 1: And um, I get very critical about fluids, I get 424 00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:01,080 Speaker 1: very critical about rubber components. And you know, just just 425 00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:03,280 Speaker 1: the idea also would be a good idea of twenty 426 00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:05,919 Speaker 1: one thousand miles. I'd go through all the drive line bolts. 427 00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:08,920 Speaker 1: Things have had a chance to settle and sit and 428 00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:11,120 Speaker 1: make sure everything is tight and you know, tork things 429 00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:14,760 Speaker 1: to spec. You know it. It helps to keep that 430 00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:19,680 Speaker 1: factory new sound, smell, and feel factory new, if you 431 00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:23,560 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. Absolutely right, absolutely, I want to 432 00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:25,919 Speaker 1: keep the car a long time old morono I had 433 00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:28,080 Speaker 1: for thirteen years and still would have except for a 434 00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:31,600 Speaker 1: rust situation I couldn't do anything about. So yeah, I 435 00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:33,240 Speaker 1: get it. But there you are. But that's what i'd be, 436 00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:35,440 Speaker 1: you know, I think a little outside the box. And 437 00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:37,720 Speaker 1: part of the trap that you're in is you bought 438 00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:39,440 Speaker 1: a service plan, so they're not going to service it 439 00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:42,000 Speaker 1: until it gets the mileage on it. And you know 440 00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:46,119 Speaker 1: that's I've always said that the service plans really need 441 00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:48,639 Speaker 1: to look at time and or mileage. But you know 442 00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:51,320 Speaker 1: it's not about that. It's about it's always about the nickel. 443 00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:55,040 Speaker 1: But you know that, Mica. I know you know that absolutely, 444 00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:56,879 Speaker 1: and that's why you know. I sometimes I go on 445 00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:59,240 Speaker 1: the service plan and as you know, sometimes I don't 446 00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:02,080 Speaker 1: know where I am at the right time. Yep, I 447 00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:07,000 Speaker 1: get it. I get it. So alright, kid, Hey, listening 448 00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:10,000 Speaker 1: always a pleasure you too, You too, Always a pleasure 449 00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:11,840 Speaker 1: to hear from you, Mica. Yeah, it's you know. Um, 450 00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:15,160 Speaker 1: time is Time is the element we're all battling, whether 451 00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:16,760 Speaker 1: it be with the car, whether it be with us. 452 00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:20,159 Speaker 1: Is pretty as people as persons, and um, you know, 453 00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:22,280 Speaker 1: time is the Let's see how did that expression go? 454 00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:25,000 Speaker 1: Ken Wassmer in high school wrote it under his yearbook 455 00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:27,600 Speaker 1: picture Time is the coin of life. Be careful, list 456 00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:29,600 Speaker 1: you let others spend it for you. I always think 457 00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:31,160 Speaker 1: about it, you know, it's like where do I want 458 00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:32,680 Speaker 1: to spend my nickel on this car? And how do 459 00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:35,040 Speaker 1: I want to do it today? And um, it ultimately 460 00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:37,000 Speaker 1: comes back to that. Hey, when we come back, we're 461 00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:38,359 Speaker 1: gonna go back to me and again and talk to 462 00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:41,520 Speaker 1: Ralph about an eighty three Camaro and some fuel injection questions. 463 00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:44,000 Speaker 1: But let's uh, I guess we're getting ready to pull 464 00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:45,600 Speaker 1: over because I hear the music and Tony has got 465 00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:47,679 Speaker 1: his finger on the button. He's gonna cut me off 466 00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:49,160 Speaker 1: in a minute. So I'm gonna sit here and tell 467 00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:51,439 Speaker 1: you that I'm run any of the car doctor eight 468 00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:55,600 Speaker 1: five five five zero zero, Tony, Tom and I We'll 469 00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:57,280 Speaker 1: all be back right after this. Don't go in it. 470 00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:15,600 Speaker 1: When is the best time to talk to your family 471 00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:20,040 Speaker 1: about staying in touch during a disaster? When floodwaters reach 472 00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:26,399 Speaker 1: your door, when wildfires are engulfing the edge of your neighborhood, 473 00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:35,680 Speaker 1: or an earthquake is destroying buildings, when a tornado is 474 00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:44,440 Speaker 1: tearing through town, or a hurricane strikes, or is the 475 00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:49,480 Speaker 1: best time perhaps today? During a disaster, you may not 476 00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:51,440 Speaker 1: be able to stay in touch with your family or 477 00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:54,639 Speaker 1: friends as easily as you think, and it's not always 478 00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:57,920 Speaker 1: as simple as using your cell phone. That's why now 479 00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:01,199 Speaker 1: is the time to take action. Go to Ready dot 480 00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:07,640 Speaker 1: gov slash communicate and make your emergency plan today. Don't wait. Communicate. 481 00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:10,440 Speaker 1: Brought to you by FEMA and the APP Council. It's 482 00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:13,760 Speaker 1: Thursday night and you're grabbing drinks with some friends. Started 483 00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:16,800 Speaker 1: off with a picture for the table, which quickly becomes 484 00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:22,760 Speaker 1: too there's pool, and there's the photo booth. All right, 485 00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:27,600 Speaker 1: everybody squeeze in, say cheese, followed naturally by an order 486 00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:32,359 Speaker 1: of ways and another can we get some extra rere sauce? 487 00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:36,000 Speaker 1: Then there's the ceremonial nightcast, So what are we doing 488 00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:40,640 Speaker 1: this weekend? And lastly, it's back to the car, which, 489 00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:51,280 Speaker 1: if you're buzzed, could be the most expensive night of 490 00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:54,800 Speaker 1: your life.

And when it sheers off, 542 00:27:57,960 --> 00:27:59,600 Speaker 1: Oh boy, all the fun you have trying to get 543 00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:01,600 Speaker 1: that up art and uh, we're gonna talk about that. 544 00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:04,760 Speaker 1: That was actually a recall four years ago or a campaign. 545 00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:06,520 Speaker 1: I don't know if I ever made it to recoil level, 546 00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:08,880 Speaker 1: but I'll talk about that next hour. That's just something 547 00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:10,640 Speaker 1: you need to know if you're driving one of those cars, 548 00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:12,960 Speaker 1: to be aware of it. And some of the neat 549 00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:14,879 Speaker 1: way we we came up with two and get the 550 00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:16,600 Speaker 1: stud out of the block. But anyway, let's go and 551 00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:18,680 Speaker 1: talk to Ralph up in Maine eighty three Camaro and 552 00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:21,960 Speaker 1: some questions about fuel injection.

Injection problem is I 556 00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:37,560 Speaker 1: can't find anybody around up here to work on carburetors. Yeah, 557 00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:41,000 Speaker 1: that's you know, it's it's sad. It's just you know, 558 00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:46,040 Speaker 1: you know it's It's one of the things I make 559 00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:48,600 Speaker 1: sure I teach Danny all the time is well, um, 560 00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:51,240 Speaker 1: i'll take something old and I'll throw it on the 561 00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:52,840 Speaker 1: bench and I'll say, take that apart and tell me 562 00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:55,200 Speaker 1: what it is, um. And you know when I when 563 00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:57,360 Speaker 1: I when I reason I do that is Danny's twenty 564 00:28:57,480 --> 00:28:59,880 Speaker 1: eight or twenty nine. He's been with me seven years now, 565 00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:02,040 Speaker 1: and I want to make sure when I retire in 566 00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:05,720 Speaker 1: twenty or thirty years and he knows everything, um, because 567 00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:07,760 Speaker 1: you got to know about carburetors, man, They're just they're 568 00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:10,400 Speaker 1: just important. It's just it's you know, there's so much 569 00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:13,840 Speaker 1: in a carburetor, um, in terms of today's cars, and 570 00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:16,200 Speaker 1: just common sense and being able to deal with it. 571 00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:20,360 Speaker 1: And yeah, I get it. Um, it's it's a problem. 572 00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:22,680 Speaker 1: And eight three that was a feedback carburetor, so that 573 00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:25,720 Speaker 1: was even more difficult to work on. You know, the 574 00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:30,120 Speaker 1: I'll bell be D one one right o b D 575 00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:32,400 Speaker 1: one And it was it wasn't that was if that's 576 00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:35,800 Speaker 1: a four barrel. That's an E four M C E 577 00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:39,560 Speaker 1: for M C Yeah, E four M say how that? Yeah? 578 00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:41,560 Speaker 1: I was first in line at GM class that day. 579 00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:45,680 Speaker 1: That's uh, you know that's listen. If you moved to 580 00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:47,880 Speaker 1: New Jersey, I know where the tools are. I have 581 00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:50,560 Speaker 1: the tools to work on that carburetor. There was a 582 00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:52,760 Speaker 1: there was a little you how to buy this little 583 00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:56,960 Speaker 1: plastic package of of float level gauges and um the 584 00:29:57,320 --> 00:30:00,080 Speaker 1: little D shaped tool to adjust the the high and 585 00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:02,320 Speaker 1: low stops inside the car. And oh yeah that was 586 00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:08,000 Speaker 1: they God they're gone anyway. Um. Fuel injection huh yeah, 587 00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:10,400 Speaker 1: So what is your opinion about the after market fuel injections? 588 00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:12,960 Speaker 1: I like them, I've got to tell you, Ralph, I 589 00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:16,080 Speaker 1: I I think they work well. Uh you know, I 590 00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:18,680 Speaker 1: think there's some electronics you've got to deal with, and 591 00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:21,680 Speaker 1: I don't think it matters whether you're dealing with edel 592 00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:25,040 Speaker 1: Brock or the Is edel Brock and Holly the same? Now? Um, 593 00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:27,840 Speaker 1: I think they're too I think they're too are they? 594 00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:30,440 Speaker 1: There's because there's there's two distinct kis. I remember seeing 595 00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:33,520 Speaker 1: there's there's maybe edel Brock and Holly are two separate. 596 00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:36,200 Speaker 1: That's the ones I'm seeing the shop across the way 597 00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:39,120 Speaker 1: from us uses it all the time, and I've always 598 00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:41,200 Speaker 1: seen some great results what they're doing. We've had a 599 00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:44,160 Speaker 1: couple of their cars roll through us for some other things, 600 00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:48,760 Speaker 1: and they run well and they're infinitely adjustable. The only 601 00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:51,600 Speaker 1: downside is, and I'm just gonna be a pain in 602 00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:53,600 Speaker 1: the neck about it, is that the car is no 603 00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:57,480 Speaker 1: longer original, and you know, and then that's that and 604 00:30:57,560 --> 00:31:00,120 Speaker 1: it's a totally different kind of experience. But you've got to, 605 00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:04,080 Speaker 1: you know, what are we looking to do? You know, 606 00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:05,520 Speaker 1: it's if you wanted to have the car out and 607 00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:07,480 Speaker 1: drive it more and it needs a carburetor, you're just 608 00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:09,240 Speaker 1: tired of you know, the box and the you know, 609 00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:11,040 Speaker 1: finding the guy to adjust a choke or know what 610 00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:14,560 Speaker 1: a choke is and you know and all that stuff. Um, 611 00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:18,400 Speaker 1: the only other thing you could try. And I haven't 612 00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:21,120 Speaker 1: talked to Jeff Drebus I think was his last name 613 00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:23,680 Speaker 1: in a in a million years. Uh, he was down 614 00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:27,880 Speaker 1: down in the Carolinas, North Carolina, I'm gonna say, and 615 00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:32,520 Speaker 1: drew his d R. E. I. B U. S. And 616 00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:35,520 Speaker 1: his his his his claim to fame was he was 617 00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:39,400 Speaker 1: the carb doctor, all right, and I remember back in 618 00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:43,120 Speaker 1: the day we would send carburetors to Jeff. And it's 619 00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:45,480 Speaker 1: probably been fifteen years since I've really talked to him. 620 00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:46,960 Speaker 1: I don't even know if he's still doing it. He 621 00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:49,320 Speaker 1: might be retired. But you can mail Jeff a carburetor 622 00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:51,880 Speaker 1: and it would come back in two weeks, all plated 623 00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:54,960 Speaker 1: and polished and cleaned up. And you know, he was 624 00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:58,040 Speaker 1: the real deal. But it's been it's been quite some time. 625 00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:01,400 Speaker 1: Does he do mixture control sewing carburetor? You know? I 626 00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:04,640 Speaker 1: think so, it's worth a shot if you could find them. Um, 627 00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:07,680 Speaker 1: I've probably got his phone number kicking around the shop somewhere. 628 00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:10,080 Speaker 1: If you can't find any contact And so if you 629 00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:12,320 Speaker 1: send me an email Ron at car doctor show dot com, 630 00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:14,600 Speaker 1: I'll be glad to dig it up for you and 631 00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:16,480 Speaker 1: uh and and and send it to you. But in 632 00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:20,560 Speaker 1: the meantime, um, yeah, it's hard.

You could sell those parts through the power 658 00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:30,240 Speaker 1: of the internet need Bay and probably you know, make 659 00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:33,560 Speaker 1: a profit at that point. Um, but parts are an issue. 660 00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:37,480 Speaker 1: Getting parts is definitely a problem. So no, yeah, I 661 00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:40,600 Speaker 1: hear you. So all right, sir, all right, thank you 662 00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:42,600 Speaker 1: so much. You're very welcome. Good luck to you. And uh, 663 00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:45,960 Speaker 1: let me a ralph. Are you still there? Um? Just 664 00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:48,440 Speaker 1: out of curiosity, what's what is wrong with the carburetor? 665 00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:52,040 Speaker 1: I should ask that question? Huh. I can get a 666 00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:54,320 Speaker 1: backfire out of it. Actually, the one that's on it 667 00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:57,080 Speaker 1: is a new rebuilt that I bought, right but it 668 00:33:57,320 --> 00:34:00,440 Speaker 1: still doesn't seem to run right now. I took it 669 00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:02,000 Speaker 1: the mud phone and he said, well, maybe you know 670 00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:04,720 Speaker 1: it's it's a timing issue. But you know, so I've 671 00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:08,480 Speaker 1: done all that, but it's just not I don't know, 672 00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:13,160 Speaker 1: it's just not running the way I normally would would 673 00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:15,600 Speaker 1: have it. So, I mean, I just basically, you know, 674 00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:18,720 Speaker 1: supposedly the carbonart that I bought, it came from down South. 675 00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:22,239 Speaker 1: It was a remanufactured carburetor. It was like a plug 676 00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:25,120 Speaker 1: and play, but I don't think it is and I 677 00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:27,360 Speaker 1: don't I don't dare make the adjustments on it, you know, 678 00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:29,680 Speaker 1: And like I said, it's just hard hard to find 679 00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:33,239 Speaker 1: somebody that's able to do that. You know my local guy, 680 00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:37,160 Speaker 1: he's a younger, younger fellow, good mechanic. But I talked 681 00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:39,520 Speaker 1: talked about carbon. He doesn't want to touch it. Well, 682 00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:42,080 Speaker 1: what makes you think it's carburetor related? It's a it's 683 00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:48,920 Speaker 1: a backfire on acceleration. Yeah, it's uh yeah, so it's 684 00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:54,200 Speaker 1: a it's a lean backfire, right, so you know, I 685 00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:56,640 Speaker 1: mean the other way to go about it is, you know, 686 00:34:56,880 --> 00:34:59,880 Speaker 1: what if you get a non feedback carburetor, something that 687 00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:02,880 Speaker 1: ran a little richer and just change the metering rods around. 688 00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:05,279 Speaker 1: Just you know, part of this is experimentation. I mean, 689 00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:07,439 Speaker 1: I guess you could do all this with I guess 690 00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:09,480 Speaker 1: you could do all this with the injectors with with 691 00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:11,520 Speaker 1: with an injection unit too. You could dial it in 692 00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:14,440 Speaker 1: from the seat and that's the beauty of it. But 693 00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:16,759 Speaker 1: you know, if you want to keep it original, just um, 694 00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:19,040 Speaker 1: you know, that's the other beauty about eBay is go 695 00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:22,360 Speaker 1: find a carburetor non mechanical. So an eight would be 696 00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:26,200 Speaker 1: a non a non feedback carburetor and uh it would 697 00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:28,160 Speaker 1: give the ability to play with the metering rods and 698 00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:32,799 Speaker 1: do some more serious adjustments. Um, how about some aftermarket 699 00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:37,319 Speaker 1: carburetors in itself? Yeah, yeah, you could try that too, sure, 700 00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:40,680 Speaker 1: I mean, you know sometimes and we were talking about 701 00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:43,040 Speaker 1: this last night at the shop. We were closing down 702 00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:45,239 Speaker 1: and my friend Tim stopped by. Tim's working on an 703 00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:47,600 Speaker 1: attempt the shop form for the local Nissan dealer, but he's, 704 00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:50,840 Speaker 1: um right now, he's doing an alignment on a sixty 705 00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:55,360 Speaker 1: eight tripower vet for for a friend of the owner. 706 00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:57,759 Speaker 1: And um, we were talking about what it takes to 707 00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:01,160 Speaker 1: you know, maintain class of cars and and you know, 708 00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:03,160 Speaker 1: Tim says, what do you charge or something like that, 709 00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:05,399 Speaker 1: and I said, whatever it took, you know, because it's 710 00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:07,760 Speaker 1: it's it's not like an everyday car anymore. And sometimes 711 00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:10,640 Speaker 1: you're gonna spend hundreds of dollars and and and hours 712 00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:13,239 Speaker 1: and hours to research something just to come to a 713 00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:16,200 Speaker 1: conclusion that years ago when the car was in it's hey, 714 00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:18,719 Speaker 1: they could be solved in ten minutes. And you know 715 00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:21,799 Speaker 1: that's sort of your situation too, uh, you know, it's 716 00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:23,800 Speaker 1: it's how deep is your pocket and how much do 717 00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:25,480 Speaker 1: you want to spend and where do you want to 718 00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:28,160 Speaker 1: end up? And that's that's really what you need to do. 719 00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:30,640 Speaker 1: Do you want the original look of the car? Buy 720 00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:33,319 Speaker 1: another car buretor and see if you know, running something 721 00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:35,360 Speaker 1: with a different car, running a little richer, running a 722 00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:37,440 Speaker 1: little fat or solves the problem. Because if it doesn't, 723 00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:41,080 Speaker 1: the engine's got a mechanical or an ignition issue that 724 00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:45,319 Speaker 1: is disguising itself and making it look like a car 725 00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:49,319 Speaker 1: buretor problem. Um and it's not. So, you know, always think, 726 00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:51,759 Speaker 1: always think about that distributor cap cross firing in the 727 00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:54,000 Speaker 1: cap moisture, especially if the car is sitting a lot. 728 00:36:54,600 --> 00:36:56,680 Speaker 1: What are the contacts inside the cap look like? Where 729 00:36:56,760 --> 00:36:58,839 Speaker 1: the spark plug wires, where do they look like? Are 730 00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:02,000 Speaker 1: they talking to each other?

Let's let's get over 822 00:42:41,080 --> 00:42:43,080 Speaker 1: and talk to Charles and Detroit Texas. Now, Charles, I 823 00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:46,520 Speaker 1: looked this up. There really is at Detroit, Texas, Yes, sir, 824 00:42:46,760 --> 00:42:52,200 Speaker 1: And you're you're just down the road from Paris, Texas. Right, 825 00:42:52,200 --> 00:42:56,439 Speaker 1: you're east of Paris, and you're you're west of Clarksville, right. Yeah, 826 00:42:56,680 --> 00:42:59,000 Speaker 1: So like you know, it's it's you're either living in 827 00:42:59,080 --> 00:43:01,800 Speaker 1: a a in a monkey TV show or you're just 828 00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:04,879 Speaker 1: I don't get it. I just I never I've never 829 00:43:05,040 --> 00:43:10,919 Speaker 1: heard of Detroit, Texas. I think that's crazy. What's going on? Brother? Hey? Brother, 830 00:43:11,719 --> 00:43:16,200 Speaker 1: I got a problem on the two thousand and two Cavy. Uh, 831 00:43:16,760 --> 00:43:20,120 Speaker 1: my daughter's car is She told me radiator was leaking 832 00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:23,959 Speaker 1: and it was, and my brother in law and myself 833 00:43:24,080 --> 00:43:29,440 Speaker 1: we changed it. Fixed that problem. Frank started it up, 834 00:43:30,680 --> 00:43:34,480 Speaker 1: ran fine, didn't run hot. But as soon as it 835 00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:42,080 Speaker 1: fans kicked on. Diet that it's stalled. So at that 836 00:43:44,320 --> 00:43:47,359 Speaker 1: and about about a half a minute it'll start back up. 837 00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:52,840 Speaker 1: Can you hear me? Every time the fans come on, 838 00:43:54,400 --> 00:43:59,560 Speaker 1: it'll die and not restart. No, no, no, it'll restart. 839 00:43:59,640 --> 00:44:04,279 Speaker 1: But she have to wait about seconds? Did you have 840 00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:07,520 Speaker 1: to click on? Did you have the battery disconnected when 841 00:44:07,520 --> 00:44:15,320 Speaker 1: you did the radiator? Uh okay, so what's likely going on? 842 00:44:15,520 --> 00:44:18,520 Speaker 1: Let's start with basics al right before we get into 843 00:44:19,040 --> 00:44:21,040 Speaker 1: and obviously I'm gonna tell you I wasn't there. So 844 00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:24,840 Speaker 1: look around. Is something tucked in the wrong spot or 845 00:44:24,960 --> 00:44:27,440 Speaker 1: connected or half connected? But I don't think so. Radiator 846 00:44:27,480 --> 00:44:29,640 Speaker 1: and that's pretty easy. It's the two tens or twelves 847 00:44:29,719 --> 00:44:31,839 Speaker 1: up top. The clamps come out, you know, the trans 848 00:44:31,880 --> 00:44:34,520 Speaker 1: cooler lines come out, the radiators out, You transfer over 849 00:44:34,600 --> 00:44:37,120 Speaker 1: the fan. You've got all You've got, all the connections 850 00:44:37,160 --> 00:44:39,440 Speaker 1: in on the switches that are on the radiators. Is 851 00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:42,680 Speaker 1: that one switch down the bottom of the radiator? Right? Um? 852 00:44:43,560 --> 00:44:46,920 Speaker 1: Was there a switch that you transferred over? Well that 853 00:44:47,120 --> 00:44:49,520 Speaker 1: I didn't see a switch that's on the bottom, okay, 854 00:44:49,600 --> 00:44:51,480 Speaker 1: But but whatever was there, if there was anything on 855 00:44:51,560 --> 00:44:55,200 Speaker 1: the radiator, you transferred from one to the other. Okay. 856 00:44:55,680 --> 00:44:58,880 Speaker 1: So where I would start with this is it sounds 857 00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:02,000 Speaker 1: like this is a dirty throttle body. I know this 858 00:45:02,120 --> 00:45:05,800 Speaker 1: sounds weird, all right, But what happens is when you 859 00:45:05,960 --> 00:45:09,440 Speaker 1: disconnect the battery, it loses its memory on where it is. 860 00:45:09,560 --> 00:45:11,560 Speaker 1: This vehicle probably has a couple of miles on it. 861 00:45:12,880 --> 00:45:18,759 Speaker 1: How many I think around? But that's because everything in 862 00:45:18,840 --> 00:45:21,360 Speaker 1: Texas is so far apart from everything else. You know, 863 00:45:21,560 --> 00:45:24,239 Speaker 1: you guys go from milk, it takes you three hours. Um, 864 00:45:24,760 --> 00:45:27,920 Speaker 1: So you know any idea the last time the throttle 865 00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:31,920 Speaker 1: body was cleaned? Ever, Well don't. I don't have any idea, 866 00:45:31,960 --> 00:45:34,760 Speaker 1: but I'll ask her. Okay. So the throttle, the throttle 867 00:45:34,840 --> 00:45:36,359 Speaker 1: body is if you what is is this the four 868 00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:40,080 Speaker 1: of the six? Okay? So you're gonna take the air 869 00:45:40,160 --> 00:45:42,920 Speaker 1: cleaner out. That long black hose that leads up to 870 00:45:42,960 --> 00:45:45,480 Speaker 1: the metal part. That's the throttle body where the cable goes. 871 00:45:46,719 --> 00:45:51,320 Speaker 1: All right. You're familiar with carburetors, you know, carburetor you 872 00:45:51,360 --> 00:45:53,200 Speaker 1: could turn them over. They had that flap that when 873 00:45:53,239 --> 00:45:55,480 Speaker 1: you when it opened, that's what let more air through 874 00:45:55,480 --> 00:45:59,000 Speaker 1: the Okay. So the throttle plate is the same thing, 875 00:45:59,120 --> 00:46:01,440 Speaker 1: the throttle plate, and now it's on a fuel injected car. 876 00:46:01,560 --> 00:46:04,879 Speaker 1: Turn that turn that carburetor sideways and bolted up. Think 877 00:46:04,920 --> 00:46:06,480 Speaker 1: of it in terms of where that throttle body is, 878 00:46:06,520 --> 00:46:09,840 Speaker 1: where the cable is, that plate where it closes builds 879 00:46:09,880 --> 00:46:13,759 Speaker 1: up a carbon ridge, all right. And if that what 880 00:46:14,120 --> 00:46:18,400 Speaker 1: happens is that the computer aged to that gracefully. The 881 00:46:18,520 --> 00:46:20,520 Speaker 1: theory would be that it aged to that gracefully so 882 00:46:20,640 --> 00:46:24,239 Speaker 1: it could compensate and adjust for it. But now it's 883 00:46:24,360 --> 00:46:27,320 Speaker 1: lost its memory, it's lost its settings. You disconnected the battery, 884 00:46:28,239 --> 00:46:32,520 Speaker 1: all right, So take the air ducked off, a rag 885 00:46:32,640 --> 00:46:34,560 Speaker 1: and a little throttle body cleaner. You want to use 886 00:46:34,640 --> 00:46:36,839 Speaker 1: something rated for throttle bodies. Get down to your local 887 00:46:36,880 --> 00:46:40,920 Speaker 1: O'Reilly oto parts store. They'll have something, okay, and then 888 00:46:41,120 --> 00:46:44,920 Speaker 1: clean the throttle plate on both sides, all right, and um, 889 00:46:45,200 --> 00:46:48,440 Speaker 1: just just leave the battery terminals. Take both battery terminals off, 890 00:46:48,800 --> 00:46:51,400 Speaker 1: leave them disconnected for the better part of three to 891 00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:54,320 Speaker 1: five minutes and put it together and you should be 892 00:46:54,360 --> 00:46:56,719 Speaker 1: good to go. I'll tell you what, Charles, sit tight 893 00:46:56,800 --> 00:46:58,359 Speaker 1: for a second. Let me pull over and take this pause, 894 00:46:58,400 --> 00:47:21,400 Speaker 1: and we'll be right back.

I help people solve difficult and trying 914 00:48:34,200 --> 00:48:37,320 Speaker 1: personal problems every day on my TV show. But there's 915 00:48:37,360 --> 00:48:41,960 Speaker 1: one problem that's just got me stumped. Childhood hunger. Nearly 916 00:48:42,040 --> 00:48:45,600 Speaker 1: sixteen million children in America's struggle with it. That's one 917 00:48:45,760 --> 00:48:48,799 Speaker 1: in five kids who may not know where their next 918 00:48:48,880 --> 00:48:51,759 Speaker 1: meal is coming from, despite the fact that there's more 919 00:48:51,840 --> 00:48:56,239 Speaker 1: than enough healthy, nutritious food out there to feed them all. Now. 920 00:48:56,280 --> 00:48:59,920 Speaker 1: I don't know about you, but that is unacceptable to me. Luckily, 921 00:49:00,160 --> 00:49:02,960 Speaker 1: the Feeding America network of good people is out there 922 00:49:03,040 --> 00:49:07,239 Speaker 1: collecting surplus food and giving hope to hungry children and 923 00:49:07,320 --> 00:49:10,920 Speaker 1: their families at local food banks all across the country. 924 00:49:11,920 --> 00:49:14,719 Speaker 1: But let's face it, they can't do it without your help. 925 00:49:15,800 --> 00:49:18,680 Speaker 1: Join me in supporting Feeding America and your local food 926 00:49:18,719 --> 00:49:22,640 Speaker 1: bank at Feeding America dot org, brought to you by 927 00:49:22,719 --> 00:49:26,960 Speaker 1: Feeding America and the Odd Council. Together we can solve hunger. Together, 928 00:49:27,120 --> 00:49:31,880 Speaker 1: We're Feeding America. The average time or resume spends on 929 00:49:31,960 --> 00:49:35,719 Speaker 1: an HR manager's desk is seven seconds, and most of 930 00:49:35,800 --> 00:49:39,719 Speaker 1: them are tossed aside. Now imagine if one of those 931 00:49:39,800 --> 00:49:43,080 Speaker 1: resumes belonged to yasmine, who was living in a shelter, 932 00:49:43,280 --> 00:49:46,839 Speaker 1: juggling three jobs. I had to be resilient. That's something 933 00:49:46,920 --> 00:49:50,000 Speaker 1: that you can't teach. Or if that resume was from 934 00:49:50,080 --> 00:49:52,920 Speaker 1: someone who worked twelve hour shifts into reflecting a company 935 00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:55,520 Speaker 1: with my dad who's seventy two. That taught me a 936 00:49:55,560 --> 00:49:58,960 Speaker 1: work ethic that I care with me every day. We 937 00:49:59,120 --> 00:50:01,560 Speaker 1: realize so much in the resume, yet it could never 938 00:50:01,640 --> 00:50:04,359 Speaker 1: tell the full story of someone growing up where I did. 939 00:50:04,640 --> 00:50:06,200 Speaker 1: A lot of things could have gotten in the way 940 00:50:06,239 --> 00:50:08,800 Speaker 1: of my goals, but I learned to push through and 941 00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:12,319 Speaker 1: that's what I bring to work every day. So maybe 942 00:50:12,360 --> 00:50:14,840 Speaker 1: it's time we look beyond the resume and look to 943 00:50:14,960 --> 00:50:18,640 Speaker 1: Grads of Life discover new ways to develop great talent 944 00:50:18,719 --> 00:50:20,799 Speaker 1: that are so much more than what's on paper. At 945 00:50:20,840 --> 00:50:23,799 Speaker 1: Grads of Life dot org. A public service announces been 946 00:50:23,800 --> 00:50:25,840 Speaker 1: brought to you by Grads of Life and the ad Council. 947 00:50:32,560 --> 00:50:34,439 Speaker 1: Trot the back. Aren't the end of the car, doctor Charles, 948 00:50:34,440 --> 00:50:39,680 Speaker 1: you're still there, sir Charles, I got a minute, so 949 00:50:39,800 --> 00:50:41,560 Speaker 1: let me let me just recap this. I think your 950 00:50:41,600 --> 00:50:44,480 Speaker 1: throttle plate is dirty, so I want you to take 951 00:50:44,560 --> 00:50:47,600 Speaker 1: the air and cleaner ducked off, take a rag, soak 952 00:50:47,640 --> 00:50:49,399 Speaker 1: it with a little bit of throttle body cleaner, shoot 953 00:50:49,440 --> 00:50:52,680 Speaker 1: a little inside the throttle body gingerly, you know, not 954 00:50:52,800 --> 00:50:54,839 Speaker 1: all over the place, Just and wipe it out. Clean 955 00:50:54,960 --> 00:50:58,600 Speaker 1: the plate, clean the housing all right down at the bottom. 956 00:50:58,719 --> 00:51:00,560 Speaker 1: Down at the bottom of the throw a body, there's 957 00:51:00,560 --> 00:51:04,000 Speaker 1: gonna be a square port opening. That's that's the idle 958 00:51:04,040 --> 00:51:06,319 Speaker 1: air control motor. That's a little pulse motor that they 959 00:51:06,400 --> 00:51:08,440 Speaker 1: used to raise and lower the idle speed when it 960 00:51:08,520 --> 00:51:10,800 Speaker 1: has to be beyond what minimum mital speed setting is. 961 00:51:11,520 --> 00:51:14,200 Speaker 1: Just a just a drop, brother, not a lot. Just 962 00:51:14,320 --> 00:51:16,239 Speaker 1: give it a little sprits in that hole. It will 963 00:51:16,280 --> 00:51:18,680 Speaker 1: work its way down. Let it sit there and soak. 964 00:51:19,040 --> 00:51:23,120 Speaker 1: All right, while that's while that's soaking, disconnect both battery cables, 965 00:51:23,239 --> 00:51:27,239 Speaker 1: both battery cables. Tie the two battery cables together with 966 00:51:27,320 --> 00:51:30,839 Speaker 1: a jumper wire. Not the battery, the battery cables. You're 967 00:51:30,920 --> 00:51:35,279 Speaker 1: bleeding down the electronic memory of the PCM. Okay, give 968 00:51:35,320 --> 00:51:37,480 Speaker 1: it ten minutes. Go have a cup of coffee, all right, 969 00:51:37,640 --> 00:51:40,480 Speaker 1: come back, Put the battery cables back up. Wipe the 970 00:51:40,520 --> 00:51:43,120 Speaker 1: throttle body out one last time. Put it all together 971 00:51:43,480 --> 00:51:46,480 Speaker 1: with all the accessories, a c et cetera. Off, Start 972 00:51:46,560 --> 00:51:48,600 Speaker 1: the car up, Let it warm up, Let it do 973 00:51:48,719 --> 00:51:50,760 Speaker 1: its thing. Let the fans come on. See what happens. 974 00:51:50,800 --> 00:51:52,560 Speaker 1: If that doesn't work, call me back next week. I'll 975 00:51:52,560 --> 00:51:54,239 Speaker 1: come up with some other answers for you. But that's 976 00:51:54,239 --> 00:51:56,000 Speaker 1: where I think you gotta be until the next time 977 00:51:56,000 --> 00:51:58,680 Speaker 1: I'm running any of the car. Doctor mechanics aren't expensive. 978 00:51:58,719 --> 00:52:08,560 Speaker 1: They're priceless. See you, She was so d
