1
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:04,640
Speaker 1: Ron Anian, and I thought about it that it's pink

2
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:06,760
Speaker 1: and I just can't get over this and it's pink,

3
00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:10,560
Speaker 1: and I just I'm like, you know, it looks like

4
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:13,000
Speaker 1: a bottle of pepto bismol with four tires going down

5
00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:13,360
Speaker 1: the road.

6
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:14,520
Speaker 2: I mean, there's just there's.

7
00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:30,160
Speaker 3: Just no other way to say it. It's this pink thing.

8
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:34,279
Speaker 2: The car Doctor, what's that mean?

9
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 4: Run today?

10
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:37,760
Speaker 5: Cut some kind of thing over the cash or Well.

11
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:41,600
Speaker 6: Yeah, a coated rotor has a protective coating onto the

12
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:44,280
Speaker 6: rotor itself so that it won't rot and rust the

13
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:47,519
Speaker 6: parts that aren't you know, not the breakepad area, but

14
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 6: the non breakpad area.

15
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 5: Welcome to the radio home of ron Aian, the Car Doctor.

16
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 5: Since nineteen ninety one, this is where car owners the

17
00:00:56,120 --> 00:01:00,959
Speaker 5: world overturned to for their definitive opinion on automotive. If

18
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 5: your mechanics giving you a busy signal, pick up the

19
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 5: phone and call in.

20
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 2: The garage doors.

21
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 6: Are opening, but I am here to take your calls

22
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:10,760
Speaker 6: at eight five five five six oh ninety.

23
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 2: Nine hundred and now he.

24
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:19,319
Speaker 6: Running. Okay, I think we should start. I should start

25
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 6: by telling you this story right before we go to

26
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:25,400
Speaker 6: the phones. So I got a phone call this week

27
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:28,760
Speaker 6: and it was it kind of was that, Oh help

28
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 6: me car, doctor, please, I'm stuck on the side of

29
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,959
Speaker 6: the road. Phone call a certain member of the staff

30
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 6: that we shall remain nameless. And his twenty fifteen FOURD

31
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:40,959
Speaker 6: escape was overheated. At three hundred and seventy seven thousand miles,

32
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 6: it's allowed to do anything at wants. Tom's car has

33
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 6: been through the war, and the higher miology was he

34
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 6: was overheating, and he called me and we talked our

35
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 6: way through it, and I said, you know, there's some

36
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 6: kind of a cool leak. Tom, I can't exactly see

37
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 6: where it is over the phone here, but you got

38
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 6: to get.

39
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 2: It down to me.

40
00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 6: He got it down to me, and I did a

41
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 6: deep dive. You know, at three hundred seventy thousand plus miles,

42
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 6: they can be a lot of things. There's a lot

43
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 6: you have to stop and consider. And it's hard right

44
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 6: for Tom's got a two liter escape. It's the engine

45
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 6: compartment is very crowded. It's difficult to see exactly where

46
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:19,919
Speaker 6: it was down on the right front corner. The only

47
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 6: thing over there short of the hose that leads up

48
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:24,799
Speaker 6: to the cool and overflow bottle, or the cool and

49
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 6: overflow tank itself, or the expansion tank, whatever we want

50
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 6: to call it out of the fourteen names that we

51
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 6: give things in this industry. The plastic tank in the

52
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 6: right front corner, short of that hose is the water

53
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 6: pump itself. And I couldn't see much of anything else.

54
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 6: You know, I don't have X ray vision. I went

55
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 6: out to the auto's own website. I went out to

56
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 6: AutoZone pro dot com, and I was able to look

57
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 6: at the pump all right, and see they showed three

58
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,839
Speaker 6: different views of it. They showed the front, the back

59
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 6: of the side. You know they'll they'll show things in

60
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 6: a parts picture. And to see where the wi pole

61
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 6: was all right, and you know the wee pole is

62
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:11,359
Speaker 6: where when the seal has gone bad, you can you'll

63
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 6: see cool it come out of it. Well, at least

64
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 6: I knew where to look, so I took a mirror.

65
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 6: After seeing that on the AutoZone Pro website, I took

66
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 6: a mirror and I put it down under the pump.

67
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 6: I pulled the pulley right. I put the mirror down

68
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 6: under found the vent because now I'm working backwards upside

69
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 6: down because there's no room to look at anything here,

70
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 6: and we used a We basically pressurized the cooling system

71
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 6: all right. We pulled the bottle out from the corner,

72
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 6: put an adapter on, pressurized that and you could hear

73
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 6: the hiss. But you know, the concern was, is it

74
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 6: something mechanical?

75
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 2: Is it? Is it? You know, is it?

76
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 6: Did the engine just fail at that mile? I've never

77
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 6: seen an escape go three hundred and seventy seven thousand miles,

78
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 6: So bottom line, it was it was the event because

79
00:03:57,920 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 6: I actually took my finger and I'm listening to it hiss,

80
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 6: I'm here, and I put my finger right in the

81
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 6: hole and it just stopped hissing. And Tom needed a

82
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 6: water pump. Called up AutoZone because now we're on the clock.

83
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 6: We gotta get Tom back on the road. He's he's

84
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 6: breathing over my shoulder like I gotta go, I gotta go,

85
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 6: I gotta go. And you know Tom keeps radio stations

86
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:20,840
Speaker 6: on the air. It's sort of a national emergency situation,

87
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 6: I guess in a sense, no kidding, And AutoZone was

88
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 6: right there. They brought us a pump. We by the

89
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 6: time we had it apart, they had the pump there.

90
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 6: We put them together and he's back out on the

91
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 6: road again. And that's you're in the shop story this

92
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 6: week for AutoZone because autozonepro dot com, you know, if

93
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:38,359
Speaker 6: they're right there to support us mechanics and keep us busy.

94
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 6: And even Tom was impressed with their speed. But yeah,

95
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:43,279
Speaker 6: true story from the bay. The next thing we have

96
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 6: to figure out, though, is we're trying to do the math.

97
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:48,920
Speaker 6: We want to know how many times because I measured

98
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 6: it's a six inch water pump pulley. It's an eight

99
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,600
Speaker 6: inch crank pulley three hundred and seventy seven thousand miles.

100
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,720
Speaker 6: Tom said it's got fifty eight and twenty hours on it,

101
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 6: I think is what he told me. We want to

102
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 6: know how many times that water pump spun around at

103
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 6: three hundred and seventy seven thousand miles.

104
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:08,719
Speaker 7: Well, rough basic math came out to be about six

105
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:12,359
Speaker 7: hundred and sixty million times. So now we have to

106
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 7: add the differential between the pulleys. We also have to

107
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 7: figure in how long did I sit in traffic idoling?

108
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:20,919
Speaker 7: You know, I mean, there's a whole bunch of stuff

109
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 7: that comes into this.

110
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 2: It sounds like it's you know, it's funny Tome.

111
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 6: I was watching Hidden Figures last night on TV and

112
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:28,920
Speaker 6: they were trying to figure out John Glenn's orbit and

113
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 6: they were trying to plug in these unknown numbers. I said,

114
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 6: this is like trying to figure out Tom's water pump rotation.

115
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 6: You know, we're gonna be doing advanced calculus on a

116
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 6: water pump revolution timetable just to figure out, just to

117
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 6: figure out, you know, because we're just curious how many miles,

118
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 6: how many how many rotations did that pump go through

119
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,599
Speaker 6: before the bearing, and the bearing didn't fail, the seal

120
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:52,359
Speaker 6: just wore itself out. So absolutely amazing, but true story

121
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 6: from the Bay AutoZone does it again?

122
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 7: That was that was impressive. Yeah, almost as impressive as

123
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 7: the big pink glow I saw over our automotive is.

124
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 7: I was coming into the place.

125
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:07,160
Speaker 6: What is it with everybody and the fascination with this

126
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:08,839
Speaker 6: pink Volkswagen thing?

127
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 7: I don't know, but I sent pictures to several friends

128
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:13,840
Speaker 7: and they all said the same thing, We want it.

129
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 7: How much does the guy want for it?

130
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 2: Well, and yeah, I don't get it.

131
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 6: And the sad part is, you know, we just we

132
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:22,159
Speaker 6: just did a breakup grade so it now has disc

133
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 6: brakes and bigger drum breaks on the back, and it

134
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:26,799
Speaker 6: just it'll stop on a time. It won't go faster

135
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 6: than forty miles an hour because it's still got the

136
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 6: original engine in it, you know. And my answer was,

137
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:33,359
Speaker 6: if you want to make it stop better, let's just

138
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 6: put a quick release on the engine. We'll drop the

139
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 6: engine out of it. It'll slow it down like an anchor,

140
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:38,479
Speaker 6: and the car I'll come to an immediate hole.

141
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:42,480
Speaker 7: But well, let's give our listeners a quick, quick, little

142
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 7: behind the scenes glance at the car.

143
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 8: Doctor.

144
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 7: Now, I put the opens together every week, and I

145
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:49,600
Speaker 7: usually I have to choose the clips we use, and

146
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 7: that's I'll either pick it with something funny you say,

147
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:56,160
Speaker 7: or something real precise you say, or whatever, and then

148
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 7: I try to match music to it. So this week

149
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 7: I said, let me see if they're are any songs

150
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,839
Speaker 7: about volkswagens. And you'd be surprised how many songs there

151
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:07,159
Speaker 7: are about volkswagons. And that mentioned Volkswagen. But what really

152
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:09,159
Speaker 7: impressed me was I found this.

153
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 8: God drives the Volkswagen fame, God drives the volkswag You know.

154
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 6: We we just found out right, we're gonna have we're

155
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 6: gonna have a calls at this era. We've got somebody

156
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 6: from Maine told us that in their church bulletin they

157
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 6: mentioned the car doctor and for advice and gave out

158
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 6: the phone number. And Tom sent me a note. He said, look,

159
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 6: God listens to the car doctor, and I said, of

160
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 6: course he does. Now I know why because he needs

161
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 6: somebody to fix his thing. All right, it's a Volkswagen.

162
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 6: You know, he's looking, he's looking down going. Look I

163
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 6: found a guy that can still work on a Volkswagen thing.

164
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 6: It's just so in any event, let me let me

165
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 6: can I go to David in Virginia and get the

166
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 6: phones going? David Virginia, thanks for putting up with us today.

167
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 6: We're a little off, a little off topic. But twelve

168
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 6: Honda Civic, how can I up you, sir?

169
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 8: Yes, yes, a friend of mine. He's a recent roommate

170
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 8: and he works at a prison which is about forty

171
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 8: five minute drive. So I think it was Wednesday, Tuesday,

172
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 8: Tuesday morning, you know, he has to be at work

173
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 8: at like six point thirty. He gets up, starts his

174
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 8: car and it's the battery light comes on and there's

175
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:41,720
Speaker 8: some funky noise. So Anyway, it's really early in the morning,

176
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:46,320
Speaker 8: so he just sits there for like an hour until

177
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:52,080
Speaker 8: the dealership opens. He calls his parents. They live in Texas.

178
00:08:52,520 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 8: He moved up from Texas recently, and so his parents said,

179
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 8: take it to the dealership and we're talking to you

180
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 8: know what, eleven year old car. Okay, So he takes

181
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:15,840
Speaker 8: it to the dealership and they say, oh, yeah, your

182
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 8: alternator is bad, your batteries not good. And they made

183
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 8: a bunch of other recommendations work, which she declined. But

184
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 8: he just wanted to get on the red so he

185
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:31,559
Speaker 8: can get to work because he's going through training at

186
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:35,720
Speaker 8: this prison, so he can't miss work, gotcha. So long story, Stewart.

187
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:43,679
Speaker 8: They call back and they say, okay, this is going

188
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 8: to cost you at least fourteen And he calls his

189
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:53,080
Speaker 8: parents because his parents are helping him out pay the bill,

190
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 8: and they say, yeah, go ahead.

191
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,679
Speaker 9: You know it's a dealership, you know, they always do

192
00:09:57,960 --> 00:09:58,559
Speaker 9: good work.

193
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:04,960
Speaker 8: The alternator by itself, just the part was eight hundred

194
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:09,720
Speaker 8: and seventy dollars right twenty twelve Civic all right, which

195
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 8: I thought was outrageous.

196
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 6: Well, I looked on it's probably it's probably new from Honda,

197
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 6: not a reman, all right, Typical. Typically, I can't say

198
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:26,439
Speaker 6: exactly what a twelve civic alternator is worth brand new

199
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:28,320
Speaker 6: out of a dealer, but I'm going to tell you

200
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 6: the majority of alternators, if we were to price them

201
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 6: and we stopped pricing them a new out of the

202
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 6: dealer on older cars, is is it justified? Because you're

203
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 6: going to find there somewhere between six and eight hundred bucks.

204
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,840
Speaker 6: So that's that's kind of in the ballgame. Let's break

205
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 6: it down like this. You know, David, I realize it's

206
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 6: a shock, but let's let's throw an hour with diagnosis.

207
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 6: Can we agree on that? Because answers don't Answers just

208
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 6: don't fall. Answers don't fall out of the tree. What's

209
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 6: the dealer gooft for a labor rate? One hundred and

210
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:58,440
Speaker 6: fifty two hundred.

211
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 9: Total labor rate was like three fifty, yes, all right?

212
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 2: But what do they get per hour? You got to

213
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 2: break it down.

214
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 9: You're probably in the ballpark.

215
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:13,440
Speaker 6: So let's say let's say, yeah, let's say it's one

216
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:16,439
Speaker 6: hundred and fifty, all right, So it's one hundred and

217
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 6: fifty to diagnose, it's an hour to change the alternator?

218
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:22,840
Speaker 6: Give or take, and we'll throw the battery into Let's

219
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 6: say it's an hour to change the battery and the alternator.

220
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 6: That's two hours altogether. There's three hundred. The alternator, knew

221
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 6: out of the Honda dealer is eight hundred. There's eleven.

222
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:36,199
Speaker 6: All right, did they put a belt on it, did

223
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 6: they change attention, or did they do anything.

224
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:41,319
Speaker 8: Else they did in an inspection?

225
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,840
Speaker 6: Okay, so maybe the inspection was worth one hundred dollars.

226
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:47,199
Speaker 2: There's twelve. The bill was.

227
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 8: Fourteen we're not fourty three.

228
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 6: Yeah, there were sales tax, right, we're not too far

229
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:53,840
Speaker 6: off the mark guessing.

230
00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 9: Okay, yeah, it's wow.

231
00:11:59,640 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 2: Yeah.

232
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 6: Now now yeah, cars are expensive. Now, well, go price

233
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 6: a new one, right, go go go price a replacement vehicle.

234
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 8: Now.

235
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:13,720
Speaker 6: Having said that, Okay, I'll tell you what, Dave, let

236
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:15,560
Speaker 6: me pull over, take a pause. We'll finish up on

237
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 6: the other side when I come back. Don't go away,

238
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 6: all right, I'm running aiding in the car doctor. We'll

239
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:27,320
Speaker 6: both be back right after this. Don't go anywhere you.

240
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 2: Need advice on how to maintain that classic gt O.

241
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 2: Ron is the guy eight five five five six zero

242
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 2: nine nine zero zero. Here's Ron. David you're still there, sir,

243
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:47,560
Speaker 2: Yes I am. So let me.

244
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 6: Start out by saying, you know, I'm not here to

245
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 6: beat you up. I'm trying to let me I'm just

246
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 6: trying to make a point and see if I can

247
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 6: help you understand and get a little more comfortable with

248
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 6: the car repair. All right, So let's just be two

249
00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 6: guys talking, right. So, oh, you know your your friend

250
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 6: with the with the Honda with with the alternator. Could

251
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 6: he have gotten it done cheaper?

252
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 8: Yeah?

253
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 2: Probably.

254
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 6: I don't think he would have saved anything on labor,

255
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 6: because can we agree that any time you have a

256
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 6: problem with the car, it's got to be diagnosed, right,

257
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 6: unless you want to take the chance and throw parts

258
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 6: at it. So maybe he would have saved one hundred

259
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:21,320
Speaker 6: and fifty bucks. In our example, we're saying it's one

260
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 6: hundred and fifty to diagnose, one hundred and fifty to

261
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 6: replace the part. So maybe he would have saved one

262
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 6: hundred and fifty bucks. Now he could have opted for

263
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:32,600
Speaker 6: a cheaper alternator, all right. There's I guarantee you there

264
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:38,200
Speaker 6: are after market replacements of rebuilt alternators, you know, two three,

265
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 6: four hundred dollars. There's probably new alternators after market available

266
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 6: three four hundred dollars things like that. You can always

267
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 6: find a cheaper part.

268
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 8: I actually look at autosone, like autoisone, right, Yeah, it

269
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 8: was like two hundred and twenty five dollars, right, so

270
00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:58,319
Speaker 8: I guess it was probably used.

271
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:01,440
Speaker 6: Or it's a reman, all right, And there's nothing wrong

272
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 6: with that. It's it's just to what level. You know,

273
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 6: cars are a lifestyle. To what level does he want

274
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:10,960
Speaker 6: to fix it? And where's his point of comfort? You know,

275
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 6: it's the weekend, David, You're going out.

276
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:13,800
Speaker 2: To eat this weekend?

277
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:16,760
Speaker 6: Are you gonna Are you gonna go? Pick a restaurant?

278
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:18,080
Speaker 6: And then you know, why do you go to that

279
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 6: restaurant and not the other restaurant? You know, it's it's

280
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:24,800
Speaker 6: it's it's it's like it's it's it's price, or it's

281
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 6: isn't some of it though when we go out to eat,

282
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 6: isn't some of it? The service, the taste of the food,

283
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 6: the smell of the place, the environment, the experience, right yeah.

284
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 8: And yeah, well yeah, or I just felt like he

285
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 8: was taking advantage of him because he's a twenty five

286
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 8: year old kid.

287
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 6: Well, I think somebody should have explained options to him. Maybe,

288
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 6: but by the same token, some of that is on him,

289
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 6: as I'm not picking on him either. But you know,

290
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 6: we've got to sort of teach the next generation how

291
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:57,640
Speaker 6: to ask the critical questions, and we haven't done that.

292
00:14:59,120 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 1: You know.

293
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 2: It's it's you know, I agree with that, you know,

294
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 2: can he Is there a cheaper way to do this?

295
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 8: Harol.

296
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 6: I'll tell you a quick story before I let you go.

297
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 6: I had a woman called the shop this week. I

298
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 6: keep talking to Cheryl. Haven't worked for her yet, but

299
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 6: I keep getting.

300
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 2: To talk to her.

301
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 6: She's got a thirteen land Rover. Think about this now,

302
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:18,800
Speaker 6: she's driving a twenty thirteen land Rover. It's an eleven

303
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 6: going on twelve year old land Rover right, an l

304
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:24,000
Speaker 6: R four, and she's looking for somebody to work on it.

305
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 6: Her previous mechanic went out of business, and the next

306
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:33,080
Speaker 6: line accompanied after that was but he was really cheap.

307
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 6: There's a problem with working on a vehicle really cheap,

308
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 6: because can you ever get to afford to be in

309
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 6: business long enough to take care of that customer long term?

310
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 2: Do you see my point? You can't. You can't have both.

311
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 2: You can't, you know?

312
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:52,760
Speaker 6: And he his rent went up and he didn't own

313
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 6: the building, and after working with her for twenty five years,

314
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 6: twenty five years, he couldn't make enough of a.

315
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:04,160
Speaker 2: Living to buy a building. So wow, right, where's that

316
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 2: point of cheap? Now?

317
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 6: She had a hard time understanding why it was so

318
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 6: expensive for anybody to work on a land Rover. And

319
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 6: I kept pointing out, it's a land Rover, it's twelve

320
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 6: years old, it's got miles on it. My god, when

321
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 6: the suspension system fails on one of those, it's ten grand,

322
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 6: you know, it's it's a land Rover.

323
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 8: We're I'm talking about it, right.

324
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 6: We're not talking about a Toyota Camry. We're talking about

325
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 6: a land Rover. You know, this is like, this is

326
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 6: like the customer I talked to this week, and I'm

327
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 6: explaining what's wrong with the car and why was it

328
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 6: so expensive to fix?

329
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 2: David?

330
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 6: No, Lie, the car was on fire, all right. The

331
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 6: valve cover was leaking so bad. The oil dripped out

332
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 6: the back of the valve cover on this eight Dodge

333
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 6: Avenger right onto the exhaust manifold and it caught fire.

334
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:52,720
Speaker 6: And I kept saying, but it was on fire again.

335
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:55,400
Speaker 6: The car was up in flames, and you got the

336
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:58,000
Speaker 6: fire put out. I showed her the picture where the

337
00:16:58,080 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 6: husband had used the fire ex thing. We're sure to

338
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:02,120
Speaker 6: put the fire out like the car was on fire.

339
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 6: It's a land rover.

340
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:04,679
Speaker 1: You know.

341
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:09,200
Speaker 6: The problem is nobody ever sits and explains it to people.

342
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 6: I get your sticker shock, I get your buddy's sticker shock.

343
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:17,120
Speaker 6: You know it's it's cars really are a lifestyle. There

344
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:21,080
Speaker 6: are cheaper alternatives, all right, there's other ways that this

345
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:23,639
Speaker 6: could have been handled. What I think you've got to

346
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:28,439
Speaker 6: look at is he's safe, right. You know, cars breaking

347
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:31,480
Speaker 6: down on the road are are are a dangerous thing

348
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:34,320
Speaker 6: today because there's a lot of bad things that happen

349
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:36,639
Speaker 6: on the road. The road is a very unforgiving place.

350
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:41,479
Speaker 6: I recently replaced my wife's twenty eighteen Ford Explorer. Somebody

351
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:44,359
Speaker 6: said why it only had fifty six thousand miles on it.

352
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,119
Speaker 6: I said, because she's going to start to travel to

353
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,960
Speaker 6: go see the grand baby six hours away. I want

354
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:51,760
Speaker 6: her in something as new as it can be, because

355
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 6: I don't want her to have a problem on the road.

356
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 6: Because the road is a very unforgiving place, and you

357
00:17:56,400 --> 00:18:00,480
Speaker 6: have to realize that that's it. That's all I got David.

358
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 6: I hope I helped you understand it better. I appreciate

359
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:05,160
Speaker 6: your openness and something to think about. So good luck

360
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:06,679
Speaker 6: to you, and keep us post that I'm run a

361
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:07,480
Speaker 6: needing the Car Doctors.

Speaker 6: Welcome back Ron Ding the Car Doctor, at your service

364
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:38,200
Speaker 6: at eight five five five six zero nine nine zero zero.

365
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 6: Keep in mind we are expanding the YouTube channel, and

366
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 6: if you're looking for more information you want to hear

367

Speaker 6: this show again, don't forget to get out and look

368
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:47,480
Speaker 6: for the podcast wherever podcast players are found. Let's go

369
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:49,960
Speaker 6: over and talk to Brian in Minnesota. Brian, Welcome to

370
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:51,240
Speaker 6: the Car Doctor, sir. How can I help?

371
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:53,359
Speaker 8: Hello?

372
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 4: Ron, Yes, sir, and there I've got I've got a

373
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:01,399
Speaker 4: two thousand and eight guy. Play it's my son's vehicle.

374
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:06,919
Speaker 4: About it this past spring, got two hundred and twenty

375
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:12,200
Speaker 4: some thousand miles on it, extremely well, extremely well maintained

376
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:16,760
Speaker 4: here or four overall. But as we know, things happen anyway. Yep,

377
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:26,040
Speaker 4: it this is entirely intermittent. First happened a little over

378
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:29,200
Speaker 4: a month ago. It's happened a couple of times since.

379
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:34,120
Speaker 4: Where uh, it seems like maybe half of the cylinders

380
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 4: are cutting out. At least at least a couple of

381
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:41,480
Speaker 4: them loses power dramatically. Check check engine light comes on,

382
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 4: traction control light will come on, and I think that

383
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 4: one might wink.

384
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:50,680
Speaker 2: See zero five is it?

385
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 6: Is it setting a zero five sixty one?

386
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 4: It's setting up P eleven seventy four.

387
00:19:57,480 --> 00:19:57,880
Speaker 2: Okay.

388
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:03,800
Speaker 4: And also the the tire pressure light will come on,

389
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 4: and then the tack will drop as well.

390
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:09,959
Speaker 2: Okay.

391
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:12,199
Speaker 6: And then what do you do to what do you

392
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:13,320
Speaker 6: do to get rid of it?

393
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:15,679
Speaker 9: Nothing?

394
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:21,399
Speaker 4: You can shut it off, wait a little bit and

395
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 4: it'll be just fine.

396
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:25,199
Speaker 8: I had it.

397
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:29,280
Speaker 4: He was back home here and you know, a month

398
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:34,119
Speaker 4: or so ago, and he I had we had a service.

399
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 4: He went back to the cities, back on to the

400
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:41,840
Speaker 4: Twin Cities. So he went one hundred and fifty miles.

401
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:43,639
Speaker 4: He probably went one hundred total, about one hundred and

402
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 4: seventy miles with smoother driving. And the next morning he

403
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:49,680
Speaker 4: calls me up and here are the things acting out.

404
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 4: Since then, it's done it maybe three other times, and

405
00:20:57,320 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 4: it did it last weekend. It's actually at a shop.

406
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 4: Great now you're kind of bewildered by it. By it.

407
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:07,200
Speaker 4: He drove one hundred and fifty miles here to the house.

408
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 4: It was just fine. I get in it to drive

409
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 4: it to the shop five miles away and it's doing it.

410
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:20,399
Speaker 4: Two days later, mechanic gets in it and it's just fine.

411
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:25,240
Speaker 6: Okay, let's talk about the eleven. Yeah, it's it's, it's

412
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:27,760
Speaker 6: it's it's it's random, right, It's just it's just so

413
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 6: random and intermittent.

414
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:32,720
Speaker 4: So it is. And it's like flipping a switch, right,

415
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:34,960
Speaker 4: It's not something that kind of goes into It's like

416
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:35,800
Speaker 4: flipping a switch.

417
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:39,800
Speaker 6: Okay, So you know, naturally, i'd love to see it

418
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:41,560
Speaker 6: on a scanner. And you know, can I catch can

419
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:43,240
Speaker 6: I look at fuel trim? Can I You know, I

420
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 6: could sit here and for five minutes, you know, uh, Brian,

421
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 6: and give you all these things to look at. But

422
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:50,200
Speaker 6: if if, if it happens in the blink of an eye,

423
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:53,639
Speaker 6: it's it's so whenever I get one like this, I

424
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:55,879
Speaker 6: want to triage it, right, I want to get I

425
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:57,600
Speaker 6: want to get to the middle of the problem as

426
00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:01,320
Speaker 6: fast as I can. So you know, if a shop's

427
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 6: working on it, the first thing I want to do

428
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:05,119
Speaker 6: is screw fuel pressure gauge on it. I don't care

429
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:06,520
Speaker 6: how they do it. I don't care if there isn't

430
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:08,840
Speaker 6: a port, make a tool, make an adapter or whatever.

431
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 6: I went through that this week with an O three

432
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:13,960
Speaker 6: Mercury sable that I discovered needed a fuel pump. But

433
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:15,919
Speaker 6: when I went to lift it, there was no rockers

434
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:18,159
Speaker 6: left because the floor pan's gone. So we're going to

435
00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:20,159
Speaker 6: junk the car, which is a whole other conversation for

436
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:23,200
Speaker 6: a different day. But my point is, you know, screw

437
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:25,920
Speaker 6: fuel pressure gauge on it. Most vehicles, it takes about

438
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:29,359
Speaker 6: seven minutes tape it to the windshield and let it

439
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:31,160
Speaker 6: stay there. That's why God made duct.

440
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 2: Tape this way. At least this way, at least.

441
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:37,520
Speaker 6: We can see eleven seventy four is an imbalance and

442
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:40,680
Speaker 6: air fuel mixture between cylinders on bank one?

443
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:43,920
Speaker 2: So is it running lean?

444
00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:46,920
Speaker 6: Is it about to set an eleven seventy five which

445
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:50,639
Speaker 6: is bank two? Okay? You know, do we do we

446
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:54,960
Speaker 6: have a lean running engine? You know, I always I

447
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:58,399
Speaker 6: always encourage everybody. If we've got a V six, V

448
00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:01,640
Speaker 6: eight anything, and we get a fault for the left

449
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:04,800
Speaker 6: side of the motor, don't just focus on the left side,

450
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:07,920
Speaker 6: you know, if it's if it's a fuel trim related issue.

451
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:10,040
Speaker 2: Can we go and look at fuel trim on the

452
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:10,600
Speaker 2: right side.

453
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:12,919
Speaker 6: Always remember if the you know, you go to the

454
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:15,359
Speaker 6: doctor for a physical, right Brian, and he says, you

455
00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:18,520
Speaker 6: know you're you're cholesterol good cholesterol is two hundred bed

456
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:19,800
Speaker 6: cholesterol is two h one.

457
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 2: So if if it's.

458
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:26,720
Speaker 6: One ninety nine, are we waiting? You know it's it's

459
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:28,560
Speaker 6: you're you're right on the you're right on the cruck.

460
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:31,280
Speaker 6: So if if fuel trim on the right side is

461
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:34,199
Speaker 6: twenty five and the code sets at twenty six, guess what,

462
00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:36,720
Speaker 6: it just hasn't gotten to that part yet.

463
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:38,960
Speaker 2: So you know, why is this running lean?

464
00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:42,080
Speaker 6: You think if it lost fuel pressure, if the fuel

465
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:44,600
Speaker 6: pump couldn't deliver volume, you think it would start to lose.

466
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:46,040
Speaker 2: Power and run lean.

467
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:51,639
Speaker 6: I do, yeah, right logically logically speaking, And then again

468
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:53,479
Speaker 6: maybe it's not fuel pressure related.

469
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:56,920
Speaker 2: What's what's what's the strategy on.

470
00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:58,960
Speaker 6: These that I've seen? One of the weird things I've

471
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:02,320
Speaker 6: seen on these is it will set a C zero

472
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:05,760
Speaker 6: Charlie zero five sixty one. And when you said the

473
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 6: service Stabili track light is on, I bet you there's

474
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:12,400
Speaker 6: a fault code in the Stabilit track And I bet

475
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:14,800
Speaker 6: you it's a five sixty one because the brake control

476
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 6: module is receiving invalid data from another module and it

477
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:21,639
Speaker 6: sets that fault. And everybody they either ignore it or

478
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 6: they look at it. If they ignore it, they miss it.

479
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:26,960
Speaker 6: If they look at it, it confuses them. All right,

480
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:31,639
Speaker 6: there's there's there's two things that are critical on this

481
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:34,320
Speaker 6: car that'll cause loss of power besides the fuel pump.

482
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:37,359
Speaker 6: Besides you know, is it a bad PCM, is it

483
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 6: a bad wiring harness? I mean, there's fifty things we

484
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:41,879
Speaker 6: could talk about, but just trying to get to the

485
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:43,960
Speaker 6: middle of the problem. You know, tell me what's good,

486
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:47,679
Speaker 6: I'll tell you what's bad, all right. Throttle position sensor,

487
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:51,000
Speaker 6: all right, because this is a drive by wire car,

488
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:55,240
Speaker 6: so throttle position and accelerator pedal position sensors. But I

489
00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:58,439
Speaker 6: generally don't see those create the lean condition, and if

490
00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:00,720
Speaker 6: they did, it would be both bad.

491
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:02,160
Speaker 7: Right.

492
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:06,760
Speaker 6: Map sensor all right, Uh, we've got to take a look.

493
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:08,480
Speaker 6: We've got to take a look at the map censor.

494
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:10,199
Speaker 6: And I don't mean as the map censor bed do

495
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:15,040
Speaker 6: we have a wiring problem And it could be an

496
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 6: issue where the map sensor is changing voltage while you're

497
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:22,920
Speaker 6: driving the vehicle. You know, it's showing a lean condition

498
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:25,919
Speaker 6: that isn't there, or it's showing a rich condition, and

499
00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:29,480
Speaker 6: the PCM tries leaning the mixture out to the point

500
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 6: that the car shuts off in stalls, or runs bad or.

501
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:38,359
Speaker 2: Has a loss of power. All right, you know, yeah,

502
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:39,399
Speaker 2: go ahead.

503
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:45,200
Speaker 4: I was just gonna throw out there when it did

504
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:48,120
Speaker 4: happen to him, I when he was in the Twin Cities,

505
00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:50,800
Speaker 4: I did. I did go through there one day after

506
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:53,720
Speaker 4: this had happened, and I stopped by, put my scanner

507
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:59,119
Speaker 4: on it, and I came up with that, got it

508
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:02,720
Speaker 4: up to my guy up the road here, and he's

509
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:05,720
Speaker 4: coming up with that too, and he said, well that's

510
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:07,920
Speaker 4: he said. I'm that he's saying, Well, it could either

511
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:16,080
Speaker 4: be two censor or campus and sensor or phaser, and

512
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:18,480
Speaker 4: you're going, you're going in the direction of a fuel

513
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:19,800
Speaker 4: mixture on bank one.

514
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:20,720
Speaker 9: So that's good to know.

515
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:24,920
Speaker 4: It, right, Well, what would cause these other lights to

516
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:27,640
Speaker 4: come on? And I get the check engine.

517
00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:28,399
Speaker 2: Well, the other engine light.

518
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:31,480
Speaker 6: The other lights are coming on because the way the

519
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:34,680
Speaker 6: strategy is on vehicles, probably in the last twenty years now,

520
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:36,360
Speaker 6: I was going to say five years, but I'm getting old.

521
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:40,760
Speaker 6: I forget in the last twenty years is if there's

522
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 6: a fault in the PCM, they start to limit traction control,

523
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:49,840
Speaker 6: They start to limit steering and safety device control because

524
00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:53,560
Speaker 6: they don't want the engine over working itself, working too hard.

525
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:56,479
Speaker 2: You know.

526
00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:58,800
Speaker 6: I was gonna say, ever, you know, it's sort of

527
00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:02,080
Speaker 6: like you spray your shoulder and the doctor says, don't

528
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:04,080
Speaker 6: lift anything heavy, but you can still go to work.

529
00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:05,720
Speaker 2: It's easy.

530
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:08,600
Speaker 6: We're just trying to take care of the vehicle and

531
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:11,800
Speaker 6: not put it under any undue stress or aggravation until

532
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:14,040
Speaker 6: we solve the problem.

533
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:17,639
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I get one hundred percent they I was

534
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:19,240
Speaker 4: going to say when it happened to me, when I

535
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:21,320
Speaker 4: was driving it five miles up the road here and

536
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:25,520
Speaker 4: it was doing it, and it makes sense that obviously

537
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 4: something's wrong, isn't It isn't running right, it's throwing everything off.

538
00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:31,480
Speaker 4: The thing would not shift correctly either. I mean, it

539
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:32,359
Speaker 4: just I couldn't get it.

540
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:32,640
Speaker 9: Sure.

541
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:37,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, and ultimately I did. I pulled over the shoulder

542
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:40,199
Speaker 4: and I kept moving, but I just backed up the

543
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:43,520
Speaker 4: troddle right and just kind of let it, let it

544
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:47,320
Speaker 4: take a breath, and then I was gradually able to

545
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:48,840
Speaker 4: get get it up to a speed where.

546
00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:51,560
Speaker 6: It was reasonable right, and then it was and then

547
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:53,160
Speaker 6: it was okay, and then the other thing you can

548
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:55,359
Speaker 6: look at while you're when you've got your fuel pressure

549
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:58,959
Speaker 6: gage hooked up, just for giggles, take a fuel sample.

550
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:01,600
Speaker 6: Hit the fuel pressure release button on the fuel pressure gage.

551
00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:03,439
Speaker 6: Take a fuel sample. It should fill a pint in

552
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:06,160
Speaker 6: under thirty seconds. Shows it's got volume and the fuel

553
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:08,960
Speaker 6: should be clean. But you know, are we headed towards

554
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:11,040
Speaker 6: a failing fuel pump on a two hundred thousand mile

555
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:14,080
Speaker 6: fifteen year old car? Do we have an intermittent map sensor?

556
00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:16,240
Speaker 6: Some things to look at, Brian, I gotta go take

557
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:17,560
Speaker 6: a look at that. Give me a call back. I'm

558
00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:19,520
Speaker 6: glad to help him. Talk about it some more and

559
00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:21,520
Speaker 6: we can solve it for you. I'm running any in

560
00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 6: the Card Doctor. We're back right after this. Hey, welcome back.

561
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:36,600
Speaker 2: Running in the Card Doctor.

562
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:38,560
Speaker 6: Here at eight five five five six zero nine nine

563
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:40,479
Speaker 6: zero zero twenty four to seven phone number. Call leave

564
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:42,240
Speaker 6: a message. If we're not here, we'll get you on

565
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:43,920
Speaker 6: here in the next live broadcast. Let's go over to

566
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:47,120
Speaker 6: Hannah in Maine, fifteen Ford Fusion. Hannah, how can I help.

567
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:51,160
Speaker 10: You hi, let me give you a little rundown. What's

568
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:52,560
Speaker 10: going on with me in my car?

569
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:53,080
Speaker 2: Okay?

570
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:57,360
Speaker 10: I have a twenty fifteen Ford Fusion at sixty eight

571
00:28:57,520 --> 00:29:02,200
Speaker 10: thousand miles. The transmission is a pair gone toast, and

572
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:05,000
Speaker 10: I still owe fourteen thousand dollars on the vehicle.

573
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:08,600
Speaker 2: Yikes? Did you yeah? Did you?

574
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:08,680
Speaker 8: No?

575
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:10,000
Speaker 10: I don't know what you do.

576
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:11,280
Speaker 2: You bought it used, right?

577
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:15,440
Speaker 10: I did? I came with thirty thousand miles.

578
00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:21,480
Speaker 6: Okay, Well, you know it's it's so, and I'm sure

579
00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:24,040
Speaker 6: you've got did you get a price on a replacement trans.

580
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:30,520
Speaker 10: So? The Ford garage in Augusta is quoting me six thousand,

581
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:34,480
Speaker 10: nine hundred with a three year warranty. But I've been

582
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:39,000
Speaker 10: looking through other garages and I've been quoted around six

583
00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:41,800
Speaker 10: thousand because they don't want to put a used transmission in,

584
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:44,480
Speaker 10: because they're worried that this one only got me to

585
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:48,280
Speaker 10: sixty eight thousand miles. What's to say one for four thousand,

586
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:51,000
Speaker 10: wouldn't you know get me in? You know a used

587
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:52,560
Speaker 10: one would last any longer?

588
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:53,000
Speaker 9: Right?

589
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:57,440
Speaker 2: So obviously the first that's the problem. Yeah, Well, and the.

590
00:29:57,400 --> 00:30:00,239
Speaker 6: First, the first choice, I'm gonna get the first we're

591
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:03,760
Speaker 6: gonna we're gonna talk about this here. Obviously, my first

592
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:05,760
Speaker 6: question is can you afford a new car? And the

593
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:07,280
Speaker 6: answer is going to be no, because otherwise you would

594
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:09,240
Speaker 6: have bought a new car instead of buying the used

595
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:12,640
Speaker 6: car three years ago? Right, Okay, so right, can can

596
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:14,680
Speaker 6: you afford another used car?

597
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:17,440
Speaker 8: Well?

598
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:21,200
Speaker 10: No, I can't. I can't even afford the six thousand dollars.

599
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:22,520
Speaker 2: Repair, right I kind of knew that.

600
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:26,280
Speaker 6: So so then the option becomes in, You've got to

601
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:29,760
Speaker 6: you know, you've got to repair this. And quite honestly,

602
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:32,520
Speaker 6: I would, I would I myself. Who's been servicing the

603
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:33,320
Speaker 6: car up to this point?

604
00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:34,400
Speaker 2: Who's been working on it?

605
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:37,200
Speaker 6: So it's just.

606
00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:40,760
Speaker 10: Sitting at the Ford Garage in Augusta right now until

607
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:42,840
Speaker 10: I find a place to get it to tou to

608
00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:45,840
Speaker 10: either get the repair done or have it repossessed at

609
00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:47,040
Speaker 10: the Ford Garage and Augusta.

610
00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:50,200
Speaker 6: Well no, by that, I mean, because who's who's been

611
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:51,840
Speaker 6: working on it up to this point, who's been doing

612
00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 6: the service and such on it?

613
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:53,240
Speaker 9: Do you have?

614
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:55,640
Speaker 6: Has the Ford dealer been the place or you just

615
00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:58,840
Speaker 6: ended up there for this particular problem.

616
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:01,640
Speaker 10: I just ended up there with this particular problem.

617
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:04,400
Speaker 6: Okay, and then do they you know, what does the

618
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:06,960
Speaker 6: rest of the car look like? It's nine years old

619
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 6: and it's been up in Maine. It's you know, let's

620
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:11,640
Speaker 6: face it, you guys have corrosion and rust issues. I

621
00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:13,080
Speaker 6: don't want to put seven grand.

622
00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:17,160
Speaker 10: Into a Yeah, it's a pretty clean car. I mean,

623
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:20,240
Speaker 10: I just got the brakes done on it. I haven't

624
00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:23,480
Speaker 10: had any issues other than this major issue. Right, It's

625
00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:24,760
Speaker 10: in good condition.

626
00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:27,320
Speaker 6: Okay, I would I would want the Ford dealer to

627
00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:30,680
Speaker 6: tell me that, because you're seeing it from the top,

628
00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:33,480
Speaker 6: you want to look at it from underneath. What is what?

629
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:35,720
Speaker 6: What kind of rust is? What kind of rust is

630
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:38,640
Speaker 6: on the chassis and the subframe? You know, what are

631
00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:40,480
Speaker 6: the things? What are the things that you don't see?

632
00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:43,880
Speaker 6: It's got seventy thousand miles on it, if you if you,

633
00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:47,760
Speaker 6: and I'm just saying, if you put seven grand in it, right,

634
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:50,480
Speaker 6: do they think this car will go another three years?

635
00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:51,440
Speaker 2: Typically they do.

636
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:53,840
Speaker 6: I'm sort of surprised to see the trans fail at

637
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:56,480
Speaker 6: sixty eight, But then again, I can tell you my

638
00:31:57,080 --> 00:31:59,400
Speaker 6: four Suburban that I changed it's diaper every day of

639
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:02,480
Speaker 6: its life. The trans at fifty five thousand, it happens

640
00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:05,600
Speaker 6: you know, it's it's it's just it's just, you know,

641
00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:06,920
Speaker 6: it's life's tough.

642
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:09,760
Speaker 2: Wear a hard hat, you know, as they.

643
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:13,840
Speaker 6: Say, I think, I think the most important question is

644
00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:16,840
Speaker 6: who's going to do it, who's going to give the

645
00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:20,120
Speaker 6: best warranty, and who's going to actually be around to

646
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:23,520
Speaker 6: stand behind it. Do you travel with the car? Do

647
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:25,800
Speaker 6: you stay primarily up in Maine? Or do you ever

648
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:27,360
Speaker 6: venture out elsewhere?

649
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:31,520
Speaker 10: I do travel. I live in Carthage and I go

650
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:35,240
Speaker 10: to I stay right in Main, but I do travel

651
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:36,280
Speaker 10: like around.

652
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:38,720
Speaker 6: Me, you know, because my my other concern is, you know,

653
00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:41,280
Speaker 6: if the Ford dealer does it and you travel from

654
00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:43,920
Speaker 6: one side of Maine to the other, if the trans

655
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:46,760
Speaker 6: were to have a problem, is the warranty honored at

656
00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:50,080
Speaker 6: four dealers elsewhere in Maine and across the country, whereas

657
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:52,240
Speaker 6: at a local shop, you know they might have to

658
00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:54,880
Speaker 6: make arrangements for that to happen. So this is a

659
00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:57,680
Speaker 6: major purchase. You know, if this is a major purchase,

660
00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:01,560
Speaker 6: what what what else are we doing? You know, you've

661
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:05,480
Speaker 6: got to think that it's it's it's twenty grand to replace.

662
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:09,200
Speaker 6: I use a vehicle with something used. That's kind of

663
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:11,640
Speaker 6: a tough thing. And you know what, you don't want

664
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:13,880
Speaker 6: to let it get repossessed because then that's going to

665
00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:16,000
Speaker 6: affect your credit and everything else. That becomes a real

666
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:19,640
Speaker 6: mischie gus bottom line exactly, Yeah, you know. Bottom line.

667
00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:22,080
Speaker 6: You need a car. Is this one any good? Is

668
00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:24,880
Speaker 6: this worth fixing? Let's decide if this is worth fixing

669
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:27,200
Speaker 6: and putting the money into, and then you'll find the

670
00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:28,720
Speaker 6: money the universe provides.

671
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:32,360
Speaker 10: All right, right, okay, thank you, You're very.

672
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:34,400
Speaker 6: Welcome, Kittle, good luck, and I wish you the best.

673
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:36,320
Speaker 6: I'm sorry to hear that I'm running Nanny and the

674
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:51,720
Speaker 6: Car Doctor. We're back right after this. You know, it's

675
00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:54,080
Speaker 6: it's amazing to me how the time just flies by.

676
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:56,240
Speaker 6: We just did two hours of radio here on the

677
00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:58,880
Speaker 6: weekend and it just it's like and it's gone. The

678
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:01,800
Speaker 6: folks over at Mitchell one have something called Shuretrack, you know,

679
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:04,000
Speaker 6: their sure Track fixes, which comes to you as as

680
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:07,680
Speaker 6: part of the subscription for you know, Mitchell one in

681
00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:10,440
Speaker 6: pro demand. So this month there was a good one

682
00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:12,759
Speaker 6: in there talked about problems with a twenty fourteen RAM

683
00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:16,040
Speaker 6: fifteen hundred that was experiencing a cylinder number one shutdown

684
00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:18,560
Speaker 6: and it wasn't operating properly. The person that replaced the

685
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:20,799
Speaker 6: cam and the lifters a month ago, I'm sorry four

686
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:24,080
Speaker 6: months ago, and now it's setting a fault code. Well,

687
00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:25,640
Speaker 6: you know, like they say, it takes a village to

688
00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:28,200
Speaker 6: raise a child, that takes a village to repair a car. Sometimes,

689
00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:32,680
Speaker 6: because the person that was having the vehicle repaired, the

690
00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:34,839
Speaker 6: person in the shop wrote reached out to the share

691
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:38,560
Speaker 6: track community via Mitchell one and he got some responses

692
00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:42,680
Speaker 6: and they talked about looking at the cylinder number one lifter,

693
00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:45,560
Speaker 6: the multiple displacement cylinder lifter, and they found out that

694
00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:48,239
Speaker 6: the lock pin wasn't working and returning the lifting a

695
00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:53,800
Speaker 6: normal operation. So mechanically the cylinder never had proper valve

696
00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:57,120
Speaker 6: train operation. The PCM knows that and it kept it

697
00:34:57,120 --> 00:35:00,000
Speaker 6: in the off position. So the strategy prevented it from

698
00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:03,560
Speaker 6: reigniting or allowing the cylinder to run and thereby saving

699
00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:05,920
Speaker 6: the cylinder, saving the engine. Anyway, that's the strategy that

700
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:08,399
Speaker 6: goes through. It's just a great service. So the folks

701
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:10,880
Speaker 6: over at Mitchell one another kudos and another tip of

702
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:11,160
Speaker 6: the hat.

703
00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:11,560
Speaker 2: They did.

704
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:14,120
Speaker 6: They did a great job, as sure track always does,

705
00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:17,799
Speaker 6: helping to solve problems that can't be solved otherwise, at

706
00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:20,560
Speaker 6: least not without extensive use of the gray matter.

707
00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:21,799
Speaker 2: So that's about it for today.

708
00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:23,440
Speaker 6: I'm on an aating of the Car Doctor, reminding you

709
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:26,360
Speaker 6: good mechanics aren't expensive, they're priceless.

710
00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:34,280
Speaker 2: See
