1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:05,199
Speaker 1: Ron and Aian. We're finally recalling cars with defective airbag modules,

2
00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:07,280
Speaker 1: and now there's less than twent or thousand of them

3
00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:08,959
Speaker 1: on the road. How come we didn't do it five

4
00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:27,040
Speaker 1: years ago when the numbers were doubled or triple the

5
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:30,480
Speaker 1: car Doctor, How could it be twelve to fourteen years

6
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:33,080
Speaker 1: and they finally figured out there's a problem. I don't

7
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 1: understand that, And then somebody's gonna have the audacity to

8
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:38,120
Speaker 1: tell me I pick on engineers. You guys are this

9
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 1: bad that it took your fourteen years to figure it out.

10
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:43,880
Speaker 1: Welcome to the radio home of Ron and Anian the

Speaker 1: have you too, as we've picked up a couple affiliates

27
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 1: this week, and we continue to sit there and say, hey,

28
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 1: we're just trying to fix cars and share what's inside

29
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 1: my head before I forget the rest of it, and UM,

30
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,040
Speaker 1: tell you what's going on and how to resolve that

31
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 1: thing in the driveway you call an automobile that we

32
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 1: call oh boy sometimes and sometimes other things as well.

33
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 1: UM forty three years of water repair, sitting here behind

34
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 1: this microphone, waiting to do it's work for you and

35
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 1: call him like I see him, and hopefully I do

36
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 1: a better job than Major League Baseball, umpire, we're not

37
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 1: talking about baseball. We're talking about football. The Giants played tomorrow.

38
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 1: They played Cleveland. You need a bass to Giants. So

39
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 1: in other words, the Giants are going to be the

40
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 1: first team to lose to Cleveland. But Tom and I

41
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:19,080
Speaker 1: take them at face value every Sunday. So the Giants

42
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:21,519
Speaker 1: are now what what's what's their record? Six and three?

43
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:27,399
Speaker 1: Six and three, So tomorrow Cleveland will be one and nine,

44
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 1: one and nine. The Giants last week set a record

45
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 1: second play and I was already swearing at the TV.

46
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 1: Well that's because you guys take all this seriously, Yes,

47
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 1: we do. You want me to explain auto repair and

48
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 1: sports to you, guys? Please do? The deal is the

49
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:45,080
Speaker 1: Giants continue to lose. Look at the Jets, holy count

50
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:47,800
Speaker 1: all right, you know the only the only thing the

51
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 1: Giants have going on is they got the Jets in

52
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 1: their own neighborhood. All right, So but look at the Jets,

53
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 1: look at the Giants, and they continue to drop balls, miskicks,

54
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 1: not score touchdowns, and people still keep coming to the games.

55
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,080
Speaker 1: If I or my other others and sisters in order

56
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:05,080
Speaker 1: repair ever dropped the ball, missed the field goal, didn't

57
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 1: win the game, nobody's coming back to us. Mechanics have

58
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:14,679
Speaker 1: to be perfect every time, period. But tomorrow, Cleveland one

59
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:20,399
Speaker 1: and nine, that's the prediction. I think I've consulted, I've

60
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 1: consulted the crystal ball. I wanted it all. I'm doing

61
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 1: everything I can to put the whammy on him, because

62
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:30,079
Speaker 1: then the week after that, they played Dallas, and I

63
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 1: kind of gotta hope that they beat Dallas. But you know,

64
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 1: Christmas is coming, and I told Tony if he wasn't

65
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 1: if he wasn't nice to me, if he's naughty, he's

66
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 1: gonna get Cleveland Brown stuff for Christmas. He might not

67
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 1: take it. He might not take it. After the Giants

68
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 1: losing them tomorrow, Let's move Let's move on with the show.

69
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 1: You too, I love you, but you're driving me nuts. Yes,

70
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 1: you want my prediction, Tony, see you feel better. The

71
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 1: Giants are gonna lose. There, I said it. Now, when

72
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 1: the Giants win, Tony will just keep rubbing the uh,

73
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 1: the good luck charm that's known as the car Doctor.

74
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 1: Let's let's kick the garage doors open. Now that you

75
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 1: guys killed the opening model like I forgot what the

76
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 1: heck I was even gonna talk about. Um doesn't matter.

77
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 1: Let's go and talk to Chris and Green Bay, Wisconsin.

78
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 1: Chris helped me. These guys are Giants fans. What can

79
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 1: I tell you what's going on? Well, we're Packers fans

80
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 1: and we're not doing a whole lot better. So and listen,

81
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,480
Speaker 1: I guess I guess they really enjoyed this call because

82
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 1: they get to rub it in about that those two

83
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 1: games that the Giants and the Packers played trying to

84
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:25,039
Speaker 1: get into those all ball games that UM kind of

85
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 1: disrupted the charts there a little bit, right, UM yeah, yeah,

86
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 1: Unfortunately it happens, you know. And you know what, Chris,

87
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you. I read Vince Lombardi's book. I'm

88
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 1: kind of a Packers fan too, But don't tell anybody secret.

89
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:41,719
Speaker 1: It will be our secret. So what's going on? UM?

90
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:44,279
Speaker 1: I got a two thousand and one Ford Focus. I

91
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:48,160
Speaker 1: bought it. UM. I normally driving two thousand four kron Vic.

92
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:50,599
Speaker 1: It's it's kind of my little toy car, so I

93
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 1: put it away for the winter. I bought a two

94
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:54,559
Speaker 1: dollars and one Ford Focus. It's got the two leaders

95
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 1: z Tech with the five speed Manal transmission. UM it

96
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 1: runs good, it drives good. UM. I I bought a

97
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 1: week after I bought it, I bought a Matt col

98
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 1: scan tool. I think it's just a rebranded launch xpot

99
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 1: thirty one, So it's a I love it and I

100
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 1: kind of went with the Launch brand based on what

101
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 1: you had to say about them. UM and anyway, so

102
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 1: I plug it in and I just how's it? You know,

103
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 1: how's it doing? No codes? It didn't have any codes. Um,

104
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 1: it ran good. One thing I noticed is cylinder head

105
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:26,279
Speaker 1: camp and now I know this one just as a

106
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 1: cylinder head temp censor. It doesn't have a cool intemp

107
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 1: censor per se, but they use solar hand temp to

108
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:35,799
Speaker 1: infer cool intemp on these things. So cool and camp

109
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 1: on the higher air cylinder head camp, I'm sorry in

110
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,559
Speaker 1: the highway is two hundred and twenty two degrees um.

111
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 1: The low speed fans per the scan tool aren't coming

112
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:49,599
Speaker 1: on until two hundred and um degrees or something like that.

113
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:53,279
Speaker 1: That's yeah, low speed fan on that car comes on

114
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:57,839
Speaker 1: somewhere between two and two thirty two. And I think

115
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,280
Speaker 1: that's what right? I think that, and I've thought that

116
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:03,279
Speaker 1: sounded high. I mean, now my crown vic and I understand.

117
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:05,040
Speaker 1: You know, when you're going seven miles on the highway,

118
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 1: it's twice as big engine. It's it's only turning the

119
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 1: thousand r p m less. It's probably not working nearly

120
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 1: as hard. Cylinder head temp on that never never gets

121
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:17,279
Speaker 1: above on the highway, never gets above two L five.

122
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:21,480
Speaker 1: You know, when it's hot out. Um, I guess is

123
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 1: this normal? I'm not getting any cool and lost the oils.

124
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 1: The oil seems clean, nothing's I mean, that just seems high.

125
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,720
Speaker 1: Now I did notice it ran? They run I think

126
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:31,920
Speaker 1: like an eighteen or twenty p s I cap on those.

127
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 1: So I mean, are they intentionally getting the cylinder head

128
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 1: temps up there for remissions? Or is there am I

129
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,159
Speaker 1: looking at something else? You're that car? That car is

130
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:42,920
Speaker 1: dead on the money. And here's the scary part, all right,

131
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 1: And here's what here's what all the so called experts

132
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:49,159
Speaker 1: don't really think about. All right, the fact that now

133
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 1: on that car, high speed temp the high speed fan

134
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 1: comes on to degrees right, all right, look how hot

135
00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:01,839
Speaker 1: that thing's getting? All right? And what happens? What happens

136
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 1: if you leave a thermostat in that car and it's

137
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 1: five degrees off or four degrees think, start, we're operating

138
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 1: that car razor thin. Okay, it's right, it's right. You

139
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,559
Speaker 1: know to sixty is meltdown. It's right on the line

140
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 1: of meltdown. Okay, Yeah, I can't understand why they're I mean,

141
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:21,119
Speaker 1: I mean, if it if it's normal for the beast

142
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 1: and the runs good, I'm you know I'm gonna run it.

143
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 1: I did put a new stant in it. I I

144
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 1: do that with every car right by, whether it's acting

145
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 1: funny or not, because I don't know the old one is.

146
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 1: And it's cheap insurance. Well yeah, you know, listen, nothing's

147
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 1: better than a stant. We use them in the shop

148
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 1: all the time. And um, you know, I've been good luck.

149
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 1: We never had any issue, and you're doing it right.

150
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 1: But my point is, look at how tight they're running

151
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 1: that and your car. This car is not just the

152
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 1: only one. There's a lot of cars out there that

153
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 1: run this specific on temperature and and a bunch of

154
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 1: other things that they do in order to operate. Now,

155
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 1: start thinking about this, and this is the curve ball.

156
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 1: Good change the oil at seven thousand miles, like the

157
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 1: manufacturer says, change the oil ten thousand of miles, like

158
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 1: everybody talks about. Are you insane? No? Yeah, are you

159
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 1: out of your mind? You know, let's just let's just

160
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 1: run the car hot, right to the ragged edge of

161
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 1: everything and expect it to last more than a hundred

162
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 1: thousand miles. I don't get it right. And this Han's

163
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 1: got a hundred seventy on and I and it runs good.

164
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 1: And I mean and that and that's funny you say

165
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 1: about oil changes. And I know you've mentioned in your

166
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 1: past in your past shows about not only is the

167
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 1: oil change important, but also inspecting the vehicle. Because I

168
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 1: changed all my annoil and I was under it, I

169
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:32,680
Speaker 1: noticed there was an axle seal on the on the

170
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:35,200
Speaker 1: uh CV scheft, you know where the CV cheft comes

171
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 1: out of seeping, and it was you know, and this

172
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:39,840
Speaker 1: thing only holds two quarts of two quarts of fluid

173
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:42,320
Speaker 1: in the transmission. You know, it doesn't take long for

174
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 1: you to to spray that out. So I mean, if

175
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 1: you're not looking under there every you know, three thousand

176
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:49,839
Speaker 1: and four thousand miles, that's a lot. That's it's easy

177
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 1: to miss that stuff. And next thing you know, you're

178
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 1: burning up a transmission. Well, and the exam is the

179
00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:00,439
Speaker 1: is the downplay of the three or four thousand oil

180
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 1: change interval? Is that really the work of the marketing

181
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 1: department to get people to have to buy new cars

182
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,079
Speaker 1: when the trans blows up on the ten year old car,

183
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:08,560
Speaker 1: a fifteen year old car that they don't want to

184
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 1: fix it anymore. And yeah, you know, I still think

185
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 1: about I still think about cash for clunkers and how

186
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 1: many good cars cash for clunkers took off the street.

187
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 1: And that's that's a that's a night nightmare. And you

188
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:26,560
Speaker 1: know that's a nightmare in itself. Um So, I guess

189
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 1: my other question would be, you know, typically, what's the

190
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 1: difference between cylinder headed temp and cool intemp? I mean,

191
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:34,720
Speaker 1: I mean, I know obviously you know what temperature wise,

192
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 1: and is it five degrees cooler ten degrees? It's roughly

193
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 1: a five to ten degree difference. It depends on where

194
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 1: that sensor is on the average, but on that cars

195
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:45,679
Speaker 1: within five degrees, I wouldn't worry about it. You know

196
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 1: what I would do too, is I would just verify.

197
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 1: Uh you know, if you wanted to use maybe a

198
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 1: heat gun and read the upper radiator hose and then

199
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 1: look at the cool intempt censor, you'll typically see, if

200
00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 1: you know, two or twenty degrees should be about three

201
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 1: three point four or three point five vaults on that

202
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:04,960
Speaker 1: car coming out of the cts um I'm sorry, the

203
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:07,959
Speaker 1: c h t um. You know, so if you see,

204
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:10,440
Speaker 1: if you see that, then at least you've got a

205
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 1: point to work from. But you know, listen, it's just

206
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:17,080
Speaker 1: amazing how hot they make them run, and what they're

207
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 1: making them do, and how right on the ragged edge

208
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:22,440
Speaker 1: they're keeping these cars, and yet people refuse to service

209
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 1: and maintain them, and then when they blow up, they

210
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,440
Speaker 1: just go buy new cars. Makes no sense. It makes

211
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 1: no sense. It is. It is really amazing. I know

212
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:31,840
Speaker 1: my wife's got a twenty eleven escape and I know

213
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:33,960
Speaker 1: it's a six dollars and miles or every six months,

214
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 1: you know, but you know we're doing at dollars and

215
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 1: that the most oil changes, and you know it's a

216
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 1: big investment. I'm gonna keep it on the road as

217
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 1: long as possible. And what does that oil come out

218
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 1: at thirty Chris? How does that oil look when it's

219
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:49,440
Speaker 1: coming out as it dark? I'm just curious. No, not

220
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:51,320
Speaker 1: too dark, not too bad. It's still got a bit

221
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:52,560
Speaker 1: of them, you know, if you're looking at it to

222
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 1: the sunlight, it's got a bit of a golden tint it,

223
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:56,960
Speaker 1: you know. Still. But I mean, if you know, but

224
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,080
Speaker 1: if you're you know, if we went five or six

225
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:00,679
Speaker 1: dollars and miles, I don't, I don't. I don't think

226
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 1: they'd be the case. And um, we service and I'm

227
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 1: I'm I'm a truck mechanic and we services trucks. And

228
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 1: even though a lot of them are extending their oil

229
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 1: change intervals to you know, twice as long, maybe twenty

230
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:15,720
Speaker 1: or thirty thousand miles, they're still getting them inspected ten

231
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,080
Speaker 1: to fifteen thousand miles. Now why is that? You know,

232
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:21,320
Speaker 1: is that just for the exact reason you mentioned, Because

233
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 1: if you got a cool at leak, a fluid loss,

234
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 1: you know, you know, you got a wheel seal, it

235
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:27,440
Speaker 1: might even have nothing to do with the engine itself.

236
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 1: You've got something starting to come apart, you got brake

237
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:32,440
Speaker 1: shoes cracking. You're gonna see that on your inspection, you know.

238
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:34,200
Speaker 1: And it's not gonna get you put out of service

239
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 1: or worse yet, because he's just be sitting on the

240
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:38,320
Speaker 1: side of the road or cause an accident. And it's

241
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 1: it's and it keeps the truck running longer, exactly exactly.

242
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:45,080
Speaker 1: So you okay, well listen, Chris, let me ask you.

243
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 1: Have you updated your launch tool yet? Uh? Have I up? Well?

244
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:51,439
Speaker 1: It was updated about you know, it was the latest

245
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 1: update around two weeks ago, three weeks ago when I

246
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 1: got it. Now, now that does that update by wireless

247
00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:00,960
Speaker 1: is your wireless on that tool or yeah. So so

248
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 1: you'll just tap the update button and you'll see what

249
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:06,320
Speaker 1: updates come to you and bang off you go. Yeah,

250
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:08,960
Speaker 1: And I mean it's amazing, and you know, I kind

251
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:11,080
Speaker 1: of it's it's pricey. But at the same time, I

252
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 1: you know, I work, I do all my own work

253
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:15,199
Speaker 1: and working all you know, friends and families car we're

254
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:18,319
Speaker 1: not all driving. You know, we're all not driving. You

255
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 1: know three you know olds and mules and buicks and

256
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:23,959
Speaker 1: tourists anymore, you know things. Everything, everything's got a module.

257
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 1: Everything talks to everything, and if something is not working,

258
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:28,679
Speaker 1: we need to know, you know, we need I need

259
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 1: to be able to look into it and see what

260
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:32,319
Speaker 1: the computers are telling me. So I think it was

261
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 1: well worked investment. I've you know, I've used the heck

262
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 1: out of it in the first two weeks I've had it. Now,

263
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:38,960
Speaker 1: which one is that is at the X four thirty one?

264
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 1: I believe so, yeah, I have to look at the boxes.

00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 1: I'm running any of the Car Doctor back right after this. Hey,

274
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:35,480
Speaker 1: welcome back Running in the Car Doctor rolling along. Let's

275
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 1: get over and talk to Mike Danilla, New Jersey. Mr Mike,

276
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 1: how are you today, sir? Run Good afternoon man. Good

277
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 1: talking to you again? You too? What's going on? Um?

278
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:48,559
Speaker 1: Just I'm thinking about this time of year and my

279
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 1: my father always wanted me to help him work on

280
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 1: the cars, and uh, you know, while he was inside

281
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:58,560
Speaker 1: having hot chocolate and marshmallows, he had me putting disc

282
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:01,320
Speaker 1: brakes on his Jaguar and I was just trying to

283
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 1: remember how cold it used to be and how much

284
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:06,360
Speaker 1: fun it was, you know, when I did that. And

285
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 1: the reason I bring it up is because I was

286
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 1: amazed the last call you had did a lot of

287
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:13,800
Speaker 1: work on his car by himself. And I think a

288
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 1: lot more people can do it, but they just don't

289
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 1: want to write. They don't and um, and that's very true. Now,

290
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 1: let me let me ask your personal question, Mike, at

291
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 1: what point did you lose your site? Because I know

292
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 1: who you are. I remember this, I remember a conversation.

293
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 1: I was premature by two and a half months, so

294
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 1: I lost my I never had sight, So you've been

295
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:38,320
Speaker 1: blind from birth. Yeah, and you're fixing cars, well, I

296
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 1: used to, you know, tune them up by year, the carburetors.

297
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 1: We think, the carburetors on his Jaguar by year, and

298
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 1: uh time it and uh pretty much get it on

299
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 1: the money. There were different tests. You know, I can't drive,

300
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 1: of course, but there were different ways we could do

301
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:56,240
Speaker 1: it by you know, putting it in fourth gear of

302
00:14:56,360 --> 00:15:00,160
Speaker 1: very low rpm and accelerating and and we could, you know,

303
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:03,200
Speaker 1: pretty much get it to the to the money doing that.

304
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 1: And I always enjoy doing that because you could bring

305
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 1: something around and you could feel the or what I

306
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 1: could tell you could You could feel what you were

307
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 1: doing and and and realize that something was happening. If

308
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, something would, something would work

309
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 1: out for you. You would you would feel a sense

310
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:26,120
Speaker 1: of accomplishment. You are you are a testimony to the

311
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 1: the intestinal fortitude of the human spirit. My friend, Um, well,

312
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 1: you know it's it's it's I thank you, Ron, But

313
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:35,960
Speaker 1: I say that only to spur some people on that

314
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 1: really don't have any idea what goes on under the hood,

315
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 1: because if something breaks, you know, they break a nail,

316
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 1: I get upset, you know, But there are there are

317
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:50,480
Speaker 1: ways to accomplish a whole lot, and I by riding

318
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 1: in a car that's operating properly, you can hear different

319
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 1: things and you can feel it, feel the different problems.

320
00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:00,160
Speaker 1: A matter of fact, I stand when I wait to

321
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 1: you know, for buses and trains and stuff. When I travel,

322
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 1: and I listen to these cars go by, and I

323
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 1: hear valve tap, I hear the car not running right,

324
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 1: and you know, you can smell a car that's not

325
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 1: running you know that's running too rich. You know, you

326
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:17,160
Speaker 1: can hear tires that are out around and people don't

327
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 1: even pay attention, right because there are oblivious. Four out

328
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:22,480
Speaker 1: of five cars that passed me do that. You know

329
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 1: they're oblivious. They're more concerned about their seven dollar a

330
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:27,480
Speaker 1: cup of Starbucks coffee being just the right temperature and

331
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 1: the right the right amount of foam on top of

332
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 1: the lid um please. So yeah, hey, let's least you

339
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, Um, I gotta think the better part

340
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 1: of fifteen maybe eighteen years. He's been here forever. So

341
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 1: let's go and talk to Basil down in Valley Grove,

342
00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 1: ninety miles to MPV and some questions. Basil, welcome to

343
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 1: the car doctor. How can I help? Yes, sir, uh,

344
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,719
Speaker 1: we haven't made to get you in our area for

345
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:10,640
Speaker 1: quite some time. But but I still had my nose

346
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:12,680
Speaker 1: when I talked to you the last time on the air,

347
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:15,960
Speaker 1: and so I knew the phone number. Okay, cool, Well listen,

348
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:18,440
Speaker 1: you give you give Tom the contact in phone. He'll

349
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:20,200
Speaker 1: go talk to the radio station and see what their

350
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:23,159
Speaker 1: problem is. But what affiliate? What's what station? Did you

351
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 1: used to listen to us on w v L Y

352
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:32,919
Speaker 1: w v L y R, Downville, West Virginia, okay, w

353
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:35,200
Speaker 1: v L Y, all right, we'll have we'll have the

354
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:37,200
Speaker 1: affiliate guys go and talk to them and see what's up.

355
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 1: Thank you. Anyway, what's going on? I have a nineteen

356
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:49,359
Speaker 1: Mazda MPV four wheel drive and a friend of ours

357
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:53,960
Speaker 1: had it garaged for years and I've had a garage

358
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 1: since we've had it. But the frame is completely gone,

359
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:03,680
Speaker 1: the subframe, right, the front cradle, the entire thing, front

360
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:08,880
Speaker 1: to back. I want to know is it practical cars?

361
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 1: And I I don't know if it's practical and that

362
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 1: can only be feasible to replace the frame. Probably not,

363
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 1: simply because it's twenty years old. And the question will be,

364
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:25,640
Speaker 1: even if the frame, even if the parts you need

365
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:31,360
Speaker 1: to replace this are available, what's next? Just because of age?

366
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:34,679
Speaker 1: You know, where do you stop? If this was a

367
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:38,040
Speaker 1: thousand dollar repair and you got six months out of

368
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:42,000
Speaker 1: it and then the transmission let go, would you fix it?

369
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:45,440
Speaker 1: Probably not all right, So then cut your losses. Don't

370
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:48,320
Speaker 1: even get don't even get involved. It's just I know

371
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:51,120
Speaker 1: it's it's enough to make you insane. It's like throwing

372
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 1: out that good couch from the living room. But it

373
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 1: just gets to a point where sooner or later. It's

374
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 1: just too darn old basil. I appreciate the call. I'll

375
00:18:57,320 --> 00:18:59,360
Speaker 1: do what I can for you down there in West Virginia. Way,

376
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 1: do you have a good rest of the day. I'm

377
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:02,399
Speaker 1: running ending the car Doctor. We're back right after this.

378
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 1: He's gone, and hey, welcome back. When I name the

379
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:19,560
Speaker 1: car doctor rolling along, Let's get on over and talk

380
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 1: to Corey in Minnesota. Some questions about a two thousand Honda. Yeah, Cory,

381
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:24,800
Speaker 1: you're on with the car Doctor. How can I help? Hey,

382
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:27,880
Speaker 1: good afternoon? Sure, yes, sir, what's going on so well?

383
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:31,159
Speaker 1: I had an issue with my brake lights on. The

384
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 1: wife and I had gone out at night. Would ever

385
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:36,360
Speaker 1: come home? And I thought I hadn't seen any reflection

386
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:38,360
Speaker 1: of the brake lights. All three of the brake lights

387
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:41,200
Speaker 1: were out, balls were good, and everything um fit a

388
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:44,919
Speaker 1: power check back there no power. I ended up chasing it,

389
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 1: thinking it was the brake switch. Changed out. The brake

390
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:49,560
Speaker 1: switch which was kind of a bit of a bugger

391
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:52,800
Speaker 1: to get to, but changed out, and that's still be

392
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 1: in effect or correct the problem on there. I ended

393
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:57,680
Speaker 1: up in ringing out wires, figuring that there was an

394
00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:00,560
Speaker 1: open wire somewhere on the hot there's a light in

395
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:02,640
Speaker 1: the green and white to come off of it when

396
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:05,199
Speaker 1: it closes. The green and lights applied back to the

397
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 1: brake lights. I ended up jumping that out um as

398
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 1: far as putting a new wire in there, but then

399
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:16,439
Speaker 1: kept the existing old wire up to the parking or

400
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:18,560
Speaker 1: the shift sole annoyed so that I could still shift

401
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 1: the vehicle and driving to work. The other night the

402
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:23,720
Speaker 1: cruise light would come on, but now I can't get

403
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:26,560
Speaker 1: the cruise to UH to work. And it was working prior.

404
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:29,639
Speaker 1: Fuses are good in everything. Okay, did you did you

405
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 1: change the brake light switch, Cory or what did you change?

406
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:36,400
Speaker 1: Brand new breake light switch on there? Brand new from

407
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:42,240
Speaker 1: where auto zone and I put it on the bench

408
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:44,760
Speaker 1: checked it all looked good, and do we do we

409
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:48,879
Speaker 1: need to review what new means? Um. You know, if

410
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:50,520
Speaker 1: you're a regular listener, you know what I'm gonna tell you.

411
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:54,560
Speaker 1: New means. Anyway, the brake light switch has main input

412
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 1: to the cruise all right, so you know the first

413
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:00,480
Speaker 1: thing I would do is check the brake switch and

414
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:03,040
Speaker 1: then check the cruise control fuse. There is a separate

415
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:05,960
Speaker 1: fuse for cruise and it is good. I already checked

416
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:08,200
Speaker 1: that one, okay, and you went. You went back through

417
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:12,240
Speaker 1: the switch again, and the switch is tested as good.

418
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:15,160
Speaker 1: It appears to be yes. I would have to pull

419
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 1: it back out again just to reaffirm it on the bench.

420
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:22,320
Speaker 1: Do you still have the old switch? Unfortunately, in taking

421
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:25,240
Speaker 1: it out a little frustrated, got a little forceful, and

422
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:27,160
Speaker 1: it kind of meant it up. I can't even say

423
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:30,640
Speaker 1: it's a reliable switch. The test on there. Okay, that's

424
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 1: the problem with it. And lo and behold it's a

425
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:35,399
Speaker 1: forty dollar switch, which you know, in the price of

426
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:37,760
Speaker 1: vehicles isn't much. But I was a little taken them

427
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:39,720
Speaker 1: back by the price of the switch. Right, I would

428
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:43,480
Speaker 1: I would go back and take it. Well, listen, um,

429
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:45,120
Speaker 1: we'd have to look. I'd have to look and see

430
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:48,159
Speaker 1: what it is from a Honda dealer, because where do

431
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:51,359
Speaker 1: you find out the Honda dealers thirty dollars um. Then

432
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:54,439
Speaker 1: you wonder what's really going on? Um, you know, I

433
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:56,320
Speaker 1: would obviously Here's how I do it. There's a light

434
00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:59,920
Speaker 1: green wire at the brake switch. Uh, there's yeah, white

435
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:02,359
Speaker 1: the power hot coming in is a white switch or

436
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 1: a white wire. And then back to the brake lights

437
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 1: is a green with a light on it, right, and

438
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:08,440
Speaker 1: that's so. What I want to do is I want

439
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 1: to check for while power power should come in on

440
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:12,600
Speaker 1: the brake switch on the light green wire with the

441
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:15,640
Speaker 1: key on and the cruise switch on. I think it's

442
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:18,280
Speaker 1: vice versa actually looking at a schematic and its power

443
00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 1: is on the white wire. Okay, if you have no power, though,

444
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:23,640
Speaker 1: check where does the fuse come in? The fuse comes

445
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:24,960
Speaker 1: in on the white wire or the white with the

446
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:27,679
Speaker 1: green on the white wire, and then leaves off the

447
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 1: white and greeny Um. I almost wonder if that's schematics backwards.

448
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:35,880
Speaker 1: I've always seen it the other way, but regardless, all right, yes, um,

449
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 1: we should have power coming in, then go ahead. It

450
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:41,520
Speaker 1: was difficult to find a schematic online. I don't have

451
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:43,439
Speaker 1: a children's manual for it where I can actually go

452
00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:46,639
Speaker 1: through and find an actual liring diagram. But what I

453
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 1: was digging up online it appears at the white wire

454
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:53,680
Speaker 1: is positive or power on. There is a good purpose switch,

455
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:55,440
Speaker 1: I mean the cruise in the in the brain. Right,

456
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:59,040
Speaker 1: Give me a favorite Cory, send me a send me

457
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:01,800
Speaker 1: an email, send me a vent, send me the vent

458
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:04,680
Speaker 1: for this car. Let me go, Let me go, back

459
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:06,760
Speaker 1: and let me go back and look up a wiring

460
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:10,000
Speaker 1: diagram and I'll email it to you. Let's let's do

461
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:12,280
Speaker 1: it that way, because this really should be a matter

462
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:15,000
Speaker 1: of you know, my my my memory is power on

463
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:16,920
Speaker 1: the brake lights switch, which should be the light green

464
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 1: wire key on crew switch on should have power. If

465
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:21,680
Speaker 1: it has no power, go through the cruise control fuse.

466
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:24,360
Speaker 1: You gotta you gotta make sure that the power that's

467
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 1: coming in goes to pin six, which is the black

468
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 1: yellow wire at the cruise control main switch. And then

469
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:32,280
Speaker 1: when that switch is pressed, the power leaves that pin

470
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 1: um leaves that on pin on light green. Wie. Yeah right.

471
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 1: If that the switch has failed, I I kind of

472
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:41,720
Speaker 1: think you've got a bad break light switch. But I

473
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:46,560
Speaker 1: would think even with that the shift the skift sole

474
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:50,200
Speaker 1: annoyed being energized, that it would work its way to

475
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:51,880
Speaker 1: the crew switch. So there's got to be power coming

476
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:54,520
Speaker 1: asset or is it that opposite side of the switch, right,

477
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:58,399
Speaker 1: which is something's backwards here? Something doesn't sound right, that's

478
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:00,639
Speaker 1: what appears. There's only one way to put the switch

479
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 1: in right, Yes, that is correct. Yeah, yeah, you have

480
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:06,720
Speaker 1: to really work at it to do that. Back to

481
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:10,320
Speaker 1: do that wrong. So, um, let's let's put an end

482
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:12,359
Speaker 1: to it. Send me a vent, Send me a vent,

483
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:14,520
Speaker 1: and I'll then match it to the wiring diagram and

484
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:15,920
Speaker 1: then I'll send it back to him. We'll go from

485
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:20,080
Speaker 1: there and I'll find your email address. It's yeah, it's

486
00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:22,120
Speaker 1: just it's just it's just Ron at Car Doctor Show

487
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:25,159
Speaker 1: dot com. Okay, that's eas all right, sir, and then

488
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:26,920
Speaker 1: we'll go from there. Good good luck to you, Corey.

489
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:29,119
Speaker 1: Thank you. It's uh. Let's go up to Andy and

490
00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:31,840
Speaker 1: Cape Cod and um some questions here on the Honda

491
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:33,439
Speaker 1: Ridge line. Yeah, Andy, how are you? Welcome to the

492
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:37,399
Speaker 1: Car Doctor. Hi, Ron, thank you very much. Well, I

493
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 1: do have a question. I have about two vehicles now.

494
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:42,520
Speaker 1: I have a ninety six New York Park Avenue, which

495
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:45,879
Speaker 1: is absolutely fantastic vehicle. I hope I keep it forever.

496
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:48,560
Speaker 1: I also have a Dodge for Ram pickup. I am

497
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:51,200
Speaker 1: trying to downsize to one vehicle, but I will keep

498
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:54,800
Speaker 1: the be the car. I'm looking out over a hundred Line,

499
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:59,439
Speaker 1: a Ford Sports Track, or a Subaru Baja. None of

500
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:02,359
Speaker 1: those are aly made, with the exception of the rich Line,

501
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:05,320
Speaker 1: but I have heard that rich lines have a systemic

502
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:09,960
Speaker 1: rear axle bearing problem that has never been fixed, even

503
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:13,359
Speaker 1: if you were replaced the rear acule bearings. I'd like

504
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:16,320
Speaker 1: to know if that's true. In what you would suggest

505
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:18,840
Speaker 1: of those three the sport Track, the rich Line on

506
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:22,080
Speaker 1: the super Rubaja, the Ford, I'm trying to get it

507
00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:24,840
Speaker 1: to work both as a light duty pickup truck and

508
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:30,080
Speaker 1: on all day all purpose vehicle, the Ford, the Ford. Um. Yeah,

509
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:33,160
Speaker 1: simply because out of out of those three choices, who

510
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:35,880
Speaker 1: was it Subaru? Would you say Subaru? Ford? And who

511
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 1: was the third one, uh, the Honda Ridge Line? Right

512
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:44,159
Speaker 1: out of those three manufacturers, Ford shares information with the

513
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:48,240
Speaker 1: aftermarket mechanics the easiest. Let's face it, I'm biased. Ford

514
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:49,960
Speaker 1: makes it easier for me to do my job, so

515
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:52,720
Speaker 1: I can do my job to make you happy. And

516
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:55,520
Speaker 1: that's really the bottom line. Ford makes information available to

517
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:58,600
Speaker 1: us at at a much more affordable price than Honda

518
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:02,080
Speaker 1: or Subru. Honda is second to Ford, and then Subaru

519
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:06,080
Speaker 1: is last in my mind. All right, Well, these type

520
00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:09,880
Speaker 1: of crossover vehicles like the pind A ridge Line by

521
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:13,639
Speaker 1: the Food Sports Track, Um, they seem to be a

522
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:17,639
Speaker 1: niche vehicle that people don't make anymore. Mostly car but

523
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:21,240
Speaker 1: a pop truck. Uh. Do you know of any systemic

524
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 1: rear actional bearing problem with the rich line. Um, I'm

525
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:27,159
Speaker 1: not aware of any any systemic problem like that. I

526
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 1: have heard some other issues. I'm not impressed by the

527
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:33,320
Speaker 1: Ridge line. And to be honest with you, you know

528
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:35,960
Speaker 1: we we see them in the shop. Yeah, there's a few,

529
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:39,639
Speaker 1: not a ton. But it's like this weird car. That's

530
00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:42,199
Speaker 1: that they weren't quite sure what it wanted to be

531
00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:44,240
Speaker 1: when it grew up. And that's the way it always

532
00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:46,440
Speaker 1: came across to me. It's it's sort of a pickup truck,

533
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:49,600
Speaker 1: but it's not. It seems kind of boxy, it's sort

534
00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:52,840
Speaker 1: of ugly. It really has no appeal to me, you know.

535
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:56,760
Speaker 1: It's it's I don't see it. I would, I would

536
00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:59,920
Speaker 1: look at other things. Um. Then I get into the fact.

537
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:03,560
Speaker 1: The one thing that drives me crazy about Honda's absolutely

538
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 1: bonkers is any time you talk to anybody in a

539
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:10,240
Speaker 1: Honda dealership and a tech department, they don't want to

540
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:13,639
Speaker 1: talk to you. Their service departments just keep everything in

541
00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:16,120
Speaker 1: the house. They don't think anybody else in the world

542
00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:18,320
Speaker 1: can fix cars. And you know what, dude, I'm sorry,

543
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:20,960
Speaker 1: I've made a living fixing cars, and I think I'm

544
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:24,320
Speaker 1: pretty good at it, and I think I'm worth listening

545
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:26,400
Speaker 1: to if I've got a question or a comment about something.

546
00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:27,680
Speaker 1: And I think there's a lot of other guys out

547
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:29,560
Speaker 1: there like me that if they have a question or

548
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:33,160
Speaker 1: a comment, that they deserve to be heard. And actually,

549
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:36,199
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, Honda just takes this position that

550
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:38,919
Speaker 1: we're Honda, we never make mistakes, and that that's wrong.

551
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:42,679
Speaker 1: You know, everybody makes mistakes, you know, it's anyway you

552
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:45,000
Speaker 1: had to you had a comment. Well, the thing, I'm

553
00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:47,520
Speaker 1: glad what you said about the Ford. My preference with

554
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:50,720
Speaker 1: the Ford Sports Track, which is made on Explorer chassis.

555
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:53,439
Speaker 1: They haven't made that since two thousand and ten. But

556
00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:58,320
Speaker 1: that type of vehicle, half car, half truck, no one

557
00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:01,920
Speaker 1: really makes anymore. And they're all commending top dollar used.

558
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 1: The prices of the U Sports tracks are off the track,

559
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:09,600
Speaker 1: but that was my first preference. I'll keep looking for

560
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:11,720
Speaker 1: one if that's what you recommend. Yeah, I would, I would.

561
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:13,160
Speaker 1: I would pick the four. Let me answer your question

562
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:14,600
Speaker 1: real quick, Andy, how do you listen to the show

563
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:18,360
Speaker 1: up there in Cape Cod? I listened to it typically

564
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:21,320
Speaker 1: when i'm traveling back every Sunday from my camp and

565
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:26,320
Speaker 1: not in Maine, and I believe it's one oh three

566
00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:30,080
Speaker 1: point nine and one oh one point three the Voice

567
00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:32,280
Speaker 1: of Main. Yeah, the Voice of Maine. That's where I

568
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:36,159
Speaker 1: listened to the Voice of Main just habitually, traffic travel

569
00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:38,000
Speaker 1: on a Sunday, and I listened to it on the

570
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:41,000
Speaker 1: Voice of Main every week. I can. Well, I'm glad

571
00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:44,000
Speaker 1: to have you there. Andy, Thank you very much. Well, well,

572
00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:45,960
Speaker 1: thanks for your help. Have a good day you too.

00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:27,560
Speaker 1: the show is all over the country today? Holy count,

580
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:33,320
Speaker 1: talk to Danny in Louisiana. Hey, Danny Running, I'm sorry, man,

581
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 1: I'm just you know, sometimes I get overwhelmed by what

582
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:38,280
Speaker 1: this is. Um, you know, it's just amazing to me.

583
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:41,680
Speaker 1: So how can I help you, sir? Well, first, a

584
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:44,520
Speaker 1: big fan great show. Always learned something when I listen,

585
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:47,640
Speaker 1: thank you. Um. The problem I have is I have

586
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:51,000
Speaker 1: a two thousand three Cadillac Deville with north Star engine,

587
00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:54,840
Speaker 1: the wonderful car belonging to my father and uh I

588
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:59,640
Speaker 1: purchased it from him in and it runs great, no

589
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,240
Speaker 1: problems with it at all, except it kills every once

590
00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:06,560
Speaker 1: in a while and it's and there's no vibration, no nothing.

591
00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:08,840
Speaker 1: It just goes dead and it starts right back up,

592
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:10,880
Speaker 1: and it's startably when you're slowing down, maybe to make

593
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:13,360
Speaker 1: a turn. You might drive it for two or three

594
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:16,040
Speaker 1: weeks and nothing happened, and it might do it two

595
00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:19,640
Speaker 1: or three days in a row once. It never happened

596
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:25,200
Speaker 1: on the road. Any fault codes, any fault codes come up? Yeah, yeah,

597
00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:27,040
Speaker 1: I had I had service engine. I don't remember what

598
00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:32,040
Speaker 1: the exact code was, but it was three crankshaft position sensors.

599
00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:40,520
Speaker 1: I just don't recall three five, three thirty six, six

600
00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 1: or fifteen ninety nine may be set, which you're not

601
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:47,800
Speaker 1: completely uncommon. Um. They are indications of faults in the

602
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:51,160
Speaker 1: crank censor area of the vehicle. Now, what's sort of

603
00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 1: unique is this particular vehicle has to crank censors that

604
00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:57,040
Speaker 1: has a high and the low it has an ain't

605
00:30:57,040 --> 00:31:00,880
Speaker 1: a bit all right? Uh, you know, will the assumption

606
00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 1: the first part of the there's a bulletin out about

607
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:06,280
Speaker 1: this bulletin O two oh six, I'll go slow. I'll

608
00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:09,440
Speaker 1: remember this slowly. Oh two dish oh six days show

609
00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:12,000
Speaker 1: four dish oh one nine. It's been out there good

610
00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:14,880
Speaker 1: ten twelve years. Um. One of the first things that

611
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:18,280
Speaker 1: talks about is making sure that the crank sensors are

612
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:20,280
Speaker 1: in their correct position, because the A and the B

613
00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:23,719
Speaker 1: can be switched, so you know, you want to make

614
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:25,400
Speaker 1: sure of that. I mean, I doubt it. I'm sure

615
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 1: you know. The problem appeared and it wasn't there one day,

616
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:31,400
Speaker 1: and then it was the next. Nobody swapped the sensors.

617
00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:33,800
Speaker 1: But what they talked about is some very specific things

618
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:36,640
Speaker 1: about doing a drag test on the crank sensor terminals,

619
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:41,040
Speaker 1: making sure that they have good connectivity from harness the sensor,

620
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:43,719
Speaker 1: and then they talk about changing the sensors based on

621
00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:47,280
Speaker 1: date code. Uh. This is a very common problem. Now,

622
00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:50,040
Speaker 1: and let me let me put this caveat out there.

623
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:56,040
Speaker 1: Here's a case where absolutely positively I would only use

624
00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 1: a new sensor, a GM or a Delco piece with

625
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:03,720
Speaker 1: GM part numbers on it, and and and here's why

626
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:10,160
Speaker 1: cars uh fourteen years old? You know the blueprint of

627
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:13,120
Speaker 1: the part that went to the aftermarket. Did they ever

628
00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:16,000
Speaker 1: catch up and redo this bulletin? I don't know. It

629
00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:19,400
Speaker 1: depends on the brand of part, to be quite honest.

630
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:21,240
Speaker 1: And you know there's good and bad and all. But

631
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:22,960
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to be cautious and avoid having to

632
00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:25,720
Speaker 1: change these sensors twice because they are in an ugly location,

633
00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:29,000
Speaker 1: all right, you know they're they're they're in a great spot.

634
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:34,240
Speaker 1: If you can bend your wrist um sideways, okay, you

635
00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:36,440
Speaker 1: know if it's sort of like if if your knees

636
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:38,960
Speaker 1: worked backwards and your wrist work backwards, and you can

637
00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:40,960
Speaker 1: change these sensors with no problem. But other than that,

638
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:43,880
Speaker 1: you're taking half the car apart. It's ridiculous. Uh you know.

639
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:46,920
Speaker 1: So So that being said, um, one of the things

640
00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:48,520
Speaker 1: you could do if you wanted to diagnose it is

641
00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:50,920
Speaker 1: if your mechanic has a lab scope, I would have

642
00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 1: no problem going to the PCM and what we call

643
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:57,160
Speaker 1: it waving wave out the crank sensors. Get it to

644
00:32:57,240 --> 00:32:58,760
Speaker 1: get it at least a two if not a three

645
00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:02,040
Speaker 1: channel scope. Use another signal to verify, um, just watch

646
00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:04,560
Speaker 1: the crank censor signals. Are they are they correct? Do

647
00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:07,280
Speaker 1: they ever blank out that they ever, you know, fail

648
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:10,280
Speaker 1: would would be a great way to diagnose it, because

649
00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:14,120
Speaker 1: crank censors will cause that exact condition. It's all over

650
00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:18,080
Speaker 1: the internet. Everybody's talking about it, and you know, and

651
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:20,200
Speaker 1: and the thing that amazes me is they talk about

652
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:22,120
Speaker 1: it and if I read some of the fine print,

653
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:23,840
Speaker 1: they don't go through the rest of the bulletin because

654
00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:26,840
Speaker 1: the rest of the bulletin talks about there's also concerns

655
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:31,520
Speaker 1: with grounds off the PCM, all right. There's also some

656
00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:36,720
Speaker 1: concerns about the PCM internally as well, all right. And

657
00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:38,960
Speaker 1: then they also talk about problems with the fuel pressure

658
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:43,280
Speaker 1: regulator and leaky injectors. I mean, it's a bunch of things.

659
00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:47,040
Speaker 1: This bulletin is definitely worth reading and and and and

660
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:49,280
Speaker 1: taking a look at. So tell your mechanic. Like I said,

661
00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:52,680
Speaker 1: it's O two DAS show six day show four DAST

662
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:55,960
Speaker 1: show one nine. It's in section six and the GM

663
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:58,320
Speaker 1: bulletins back then that's how they did it under engine

664
00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:01,960
Speaker 1: systems and that's it's a April two thousand three or

665
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:04,960
Speaker 1: two thousand to something like that. It's quite old. Um,

666
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:06,720
Speaker 1: you know. I even I even went to the local

667
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:09,520
Speaker 1: Catillac dealer to ask him that specific question and they

668
00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:12,160
Speaker 1: told me no, they didn't have anything. Yeah, that's okay.

669
00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:14,600
Speaker 1: They're the guys in the dealership are too young. They

670
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:17,680
Speaker 1: don't remember anything that old. You gotta you gotta be

671
00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:20,359
Speaker 1: a fossil like me in order in order to fix

672

Speaker 1: all over the country. I don't think who is that?

689
00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:21,440
Speaker 1: I don't know, but I don't think you quite realize

690
00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:24,960
Speaker 1: how big this show is. Well I don't think I do, Tom.

691
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:27,360
Speaker 1: I just you know, let me tell you the story.

692
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:28,920
Speaker 1: You know, a couple of weeks ago, I was up

693
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:30,920
Speaker 1: at a client station up in Elmira, New York, and

694
00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:32,680
Speaker 1: I came down the hill and came out of the

695
00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:35,279
Speaker 1: hotel the next morning to find the mail through the

696
00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:37,520
Speaker 1: sidewall on my tire. Right, you texted it to me. Yeah,

697
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:39,279
Speaker 1: you never told me what ended up happening with that. Well,

698
00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:41,400
Speaker 1: I ended up going over to the tire place, and

699
00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:45,040
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, this is this car. People wondered,

700
00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:46,759
Speaker 1: do you put mileage on the car? Yeah, it was

701
00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:48,960
Speaker 1: fifteen months old. It has sixty eight thousand miles on it.

702
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:50,759
Speaker 1: So these are the original tires that came on the

703
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:54,120
Speaker 1: FOURD escape. Uh so I figured just do all four.

704
00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:55,840
Speaker 1: So the guy comes out and he looks at me.

705
00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:58,000
Speaker 1: He says, you know, these back tires are wearing awful

706
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:00,560
Speaker 1: funny they're wearing on the inside. I said, really, I says,

707
00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:02,200
Speaker 1: I had I just had the car to Ron and

708
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:03,840
Speaker 1: Anians the other day, and he didn't say a thing

709
00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:05,279
Speaker 1: about tire wear. And he looked at me and went

710
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:07,160
Speaker 1: ron and anian like the car doctor. I said, Hi,

711
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:09,640
Speaker 1: I don't think you need an alignment and he walked away.

712
00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:11,640
Speaker 1: I think I want red jelly beans in my studio

713
00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:15,880
Speaker 1: next week. UM can I get those? Sure? I'm you

714
00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:19,920
Speaker 1: know that is weird, and yet it is. It is weird.

715
00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:23,520
Speaker 1: It's it's listen. I still remember the story way back.

716
00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:26,160
Speaker 1: We were on vacation one year down in South Jersey

717
00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:27,560
Speaker 1: and I'm sitting on the beach wearing an r A

718
00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:29,880
Speaker 1: Automotive home with the car doctor t shirt. And some

719
00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:31,520
Speaker 1: guy came up and started talking to me and like,

720
00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:32,880
Speaker 1: do you know the car Doctor And I was like,

721
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:35,920
Speaker 1: well maybe, um, and that was a whole another conversation,

722
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:39,280
Speaker 1: but uh yeah, wow. So listen, I am very glad

723
00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:41,040
Speaker 1: and very happy to be here to get to talk

724
00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:42,520
Speaker 1: to each and every one of you every week. And

725
00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:44,239
Speaker 1: I mean that from the bottom of my heart. I'm

726
00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:46,319
Speaker 1: runing any in the car Doctor until the next time.

727
00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:49,239
Speaker 1: Good mechanics aren't expensive, They're priceless. See you
