27
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 1: you do this week? I was busy in the shop.

28
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 1: We were we were jumping around and and and doing

29
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 1: all kinds of things, and um, you know, I went

30
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:42,479
Speaker 1: and I saw the future this week. I know I've

31
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:45,680
Speaker 1: been talking about this a lot lately, but I did.

32
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 1: I actually spoke to the future, the future of this industry,

33
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 1: or one picture of how this industry will look. And

34
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 1: I'm not just seeing it from the perspective of the

35
00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 1: mechanic II, the mechanic, but as you the consumer, you

36
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 1: the vehicle owner, you the American citizen, and what rights

37
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 1: you're gonna have. And Yeah, unfortunately this show is gonna

38
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:08,959
Speaker 1: get a little political, I think, in the coming years,

39
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 1: because we're gonna start talking about rights being taken away

40
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:13,640
Speaker 1: when you're not allowed to drive a car anymore, and

41
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 1: you can't afford to drive a car anymore, and all

42
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 1: the things that are gonna occur because of technology. I

43
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 1: was a guest and it was. It was just such

44
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:27,080
Speaker 1: a pleasure to sit and listen to Sheila Andrews. Sheila Andrews,

45
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:30,239
Speaker 1: she's the director of government affairs for a company, the

46
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 1: Auto Care Association out of Bethesda, Maryland. And Sheila spoke

47
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:39,080
Speaker 1: what we're supposed to be a half hour conversation for

48
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 1: a good hour in fifteen minutes and left the room

49
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 1: spell bound as to what's coming down the pike. And

50
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 1: we're gonna get Sheila, or we're going to be get

51
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 1: some folks from Motocare Association on the Car Doctor in

52
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 1: the next couple of months, because they're gonna talk to

53
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 1: us about the future and and where the future in

54
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 1: the automobile industry is going to go. And he just

55
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:05,080
Speaker 1: sat there mesmerized. Did you know, for example, let's play

56
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 1: Did you know I like to play? Did you know

57
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:11,800
Speaker 1: did you know that a connected automobile By that, I

58
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 1: mean a vehicle that you sit in and drive that

59
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:19,639
Speaker 1: has stabilitract traction control, self parking, the ability to park

60
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 1: itself or parallel park itself, or how about self correct

61
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 1: apply the brakes you know when your vera left and

62
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 1: right so that you don't move out of the lane.

63
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 1: Those cars they call those connected cars. Did you know

64
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 1: that when you do an alignment, a wheel alignment on

65
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 1: those cars, and this is from my brothers and auto

66
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 1: repair out there, did you know that you're gonna be

67
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 1: required to re aim the cameras and the control systems

68
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 1: and the sensors just like you re aimed and aligned

69
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 1: the car. Did you know that the cost for that

70
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 1: wheel alignment equipment, and we were talking about this in

71
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 1: class right now, is about seventy grand. That's for the

72
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 1: alignment machine. That's not the rack, that's the machine that

73
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 1: you hook the car up to, because you're also paying

74
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 1: for software technology to talk to the manufacturers computers to

75
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 1: allow that machine to do the resets. Did you know

76
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:24,600
Speaker 1: that the government is also using the data it collects

77
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 1: from cars and in a way, it's tracking you. And

78
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 1: maybe this is black helicopter conspiracy stuff, but boy, it

79
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 1: sure makes sense that that's what they're doing because the

80
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:39,720
Speaker 1: cars have the ability two put out information such as

81
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:42,239
Speaker 1: how fast were you going when you have the accident?

82
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 1: How fast are you going? In general? Are you? And

83
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,160
Speaker 1: maybe they're not spying on us yet and I'm not

84
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 1: suggesting they are, but it sure seems like we're headed

85
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 1: in that direction. Remember what I said, the show is

86
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:54,919
Speaker 1: going to get a little political in the coming months.

87
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 1: Did you know that the car has the ability to

88
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 1: report back how many people are in the car, where

89
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 1: they were sitting in relation to the driver? Of course,

90
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,600
Speaker 1: was your seatbelt put on? Of course you know how

91
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 1: fast did you step on the brake, how fast were

92
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 1: you going, what were the road conditions, what was the temperature,

93
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 1: all the things that are going on inside. And they're

94
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 1: collecting that data, just like Google collects the data of

95
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 1: where you go on a Google search and what you do.

96
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 1: They're starting to do that with automobiles because data data mining,

97
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 1: as they call it, from the automobile is going to

98
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 1: be the next place or source of potential revenue stream

99
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:41,239
Speaker 1: and income. Sheila left the room astounded. It was just absolutely,

100
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 1: I won't say scary, but amazing. It was a peek

101
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 1: at the future and I got to see it. And

102
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 1: when we were done, I went up and I introduced myself.

103
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 1: Sheila had heard of us, and she's as excited as

104
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 1: we are. We're gonna be having her on and we're

105
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 1: gonna try and get someone on from Motorcare Association. Seemas

106
00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 1: in two weeks and we'll probably be talking about that.

107
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 1: We might have been making a surprise appearance. By the way, boys,

108
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:03,719
Speaker 1: I forgot the time. We might be going to seet

109
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:06,040
Speaker 1: Vegas in two weeks. Um. I had an offer come

110
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 1: through this week that we're considering. So uh, I just

111

00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 1: see if this is really gonna happen. So there's a

Speaker 1: lot going on here on the Car Doctor, so be aware,

00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 1: to the phones in a quick second because I know

122
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 1: they're backed up already. So if you get out to

123
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 1: the Car Doctor Facebook page, Ron and any and the

124
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:45,920
Speaker 1: Car Doctor take a look at that. There's a picture

125
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 1: for all those doubters that say all this stuff is

126
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:52,480
Speaker 1: never gonna happen. Well in from our roving reporter out

127
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:57,159
Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh, p a a picture of an uber in

128
00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 1: a parking lot waiting for a pickup. I don't know

129
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 1: would you get in that uber? Would you sit there

130
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 1: and say? Not me? Brother? Just something to think about

131
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,279
Speaker 1: and be aware of. So, but anyway, hold on. Welcome

132
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 1: Ronini in the car, doctor zero zero. Let's get in

133
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 1: a call before we pull over and take the pause.

134
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 1: Let's go talk to Frank down in Florida with some

135
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 1: comments and questions about restoring an older car. Frank, Welcome

136
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 1: to the car, doctor sir. How can I help? Good sir?

137
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 1: What's going on? Uh fifty ninth car? My buddy and

138
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 1: I in Pennsylvania are going to restore seventy two g

139
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 1: t O four h O. And we had a question

140
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 1: for you. Should we put cruise control on it? It

141
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 1: was made with cruise control way back when. Sure, why not?

142
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 1: Why not? Why not? Why not have all the bells

143
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 1: and whistles? All right? You know if if that's what

144
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 1: it originally came with, and that's my friends did and

145
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 1: that's the way the car was built, or you know

146
00:07:56,880 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 1: what I think it would be. Here's the deal. You

147
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 1: go to a cruise night and it's just my way

148
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 1: of thinking. You go to a cruise night, if it's

149
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 1: a factory cruise control system and you pop the hood

150
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 1: and somebody else will have a four show. You know,

151
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 1: there's always another one kicking around. If you're the guy

152
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 1: with there's well but I'm talking, you know, lookalikes, not

153
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 1: necessarily originally. All right, you can take any lamons that

154
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,800
Speaker 1: turned it into a G G O. Sure, but my

155
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 1: point is that if you're the guy with that rare option,

156
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:33,200
Speaker 1: it kind of turns people's head. As long as it's

157
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:37,679
Speaker 1: a factory looking piece, I'm all for it, thank you.

158
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 1: All right. So the other thing is I'm making a

159
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:43,679
Speaker 1: safety film down here for the kids to get injured

160
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 1: in car accidents. Six kids a day throughout the country.

161
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:50,840
Speaker 1: You're dying in cars may sound strange per day. So

162
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:53,439
Speaker 1: we're trying to make a film that makes kids aware

163
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:57,320
Speaker 1: and make better choices like that. And you know the

164
00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 1: major cause of the accidents. I mean in all the

165
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:05,320
Speaker 1: papers cell phones. Now, when when you're talking about kids

166
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:07,440
Speaker 1: in accidents, Frank, is it the kids in the cars

167
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 1: that the kids walking on streets? Nope, made most across

168
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 1: the country, it's kids in cars for many different reasons.

169
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 1: But sixty or distractions. Now do you think that's the

170
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:21,959
Speaker 1: parents not teaching the kids properly or the kids have

171
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 1: just got too much outside stimulus. I think I was

172
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 1: a kid. I had my license ripped up by the

173
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:30,840
Speaker 1: Commissioner Motor Vehicles in New York, so we were just

174
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:37,079
Speaker 1: beside testasterone. It's also, you know, I'm invincible, right, So

175
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 1: I don't think they're being told. Someone said this to

176
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 1: me the other old pilots and their bold pilots, but

177
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:46,440
Speaker 1: they're no old bold pilots, right. Someone said this to

178
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:49,959
Speaker 1: me the other day. They said, the reason that the

179
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:51,840
Speaker 1: people drive like they do in the countries in the

180
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 1: shape that says that it's in is because And it

181
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:56,719
Speaker 1: was in reference to me. They said, Ron, you were

182
00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 1: raised by the World War two generation. This generation would

183
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,680
Speaker 1: it was raised by the Woodstock generation. I'm still thinking

184
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 1: about that one, but it does kind of make sense.

185
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 1: And some people think they're still at Woodstock. It's just

186
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 1: a party, um, Frank, I appreciate it. Some good comments,

187
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 1: some good thoughts, and uh, you get a picture of

188
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:14,199
Speaker 1: that seventy to h O motor when it's all done,

189
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:15,720
Speaker 1: When that car's all done, send him to us. Will

190
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 1: post them up on the Facebook page eight five zero

191
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:21,080
Speaker 1: nine nine zero zero. I'm run any in the car doctor.

192
00:10:21,120 --> 00:11:00,839
Speaker 1: I'll be back right after this. Ron Adien, Hey, welcome back.

193
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:03,720
Speaker 1: We're in the car doctor. Thank you announcer. He always

194
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 1: does it, he gets he gets my name right in

195
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:07,080
Speaker 1: there on time, and I just jump in right after him.

196
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 1: He's just my good buddy, Karen. He's right on top

197
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:12,080
Speaker 1: of this. Let's get over and talk to Jimmy California

198
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:15,559
Speaker 1: and some questions about a yars. Jimmy, welcome to the

199
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 1: car doctor, sut run an Indian at your service. How

200
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 1: can I help? Yeah? How you run? Um um? I

201
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 1: had a problem with the cylinder head. Cylinder head asked,

202
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:30,720
Speaker 1: water was being blown into the radiator and not coming back.

203
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 1: So I I used this h k W nanotechnology. It

204
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 1: did work, so the the water and we weren't losing

205
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:47,600
Speaker 1: water anymore and going out. But now the card runs normal,

206
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 1: but the cool and doesn't sort of return back to

207
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 1: the did the engine block from there from the reservoir

208
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 1: and doesn't go back to the radiator cools down? Let

209
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 1: me make a couple of comments here. The kW fiberlock

210
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 1: good stuff, um, good stuff. We've used it in the shop.

211
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:08,320
Speaker 1: We don't. We we try not to use it. We

212
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:10,040
Speaker 1: try we try to do maintenance on a vehicle, so

213
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 1: we never get to that point. You know, we try

214
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 1: to take care of cooling system so we don't have

215
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 1: this issue. But yeah, it is. It is good stuff

216
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 1: and we've been we've been nothing but happy with it

217
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 1: in the past four or five years. We've probably used

218
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:26,559
Speaker 1: it half a dozen eight times. And you know, it's

219
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 1: it's always worked, it's always done well. So that being said,

220
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 1: I just I say that because I don't want it

221
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 1: to be a mark on the product. I don't think

222
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 1: this is the product. I think there's something else here.

223
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:38,840
Speaker 1: So that that that being said, what you're telling me

224
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 1: is you can run the vehicle. The vehicle runs normally.

225
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 1: Does the vehicle overheat or does it maintain its temperature?

226
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 1: No more overheating it that after every three days I

227
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 1: have to to add somewhere cool and I mean transfer

228
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 1: the coolant with a siphon back to the radiator from

229
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:03,319
Speaker 1: the the reservoir. I draw cool and from the reservoir

230
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 1: and then just return it to the radiator. Okay, so

231
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 1: have you have you checked the hose between the radiator

232
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 1: overflow and the bottle itself. Yes, I've checked it sort

233
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 1: of free obstruction, no obstruction and is the bottle free

234
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 1: and clear? Um? You know what, I haven't really checked

235
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 1: because it's a lot of work to remove it, but

236
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 1: I guess if that is the suspect, I'll do that. Well. Yeah,

237
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm just wondering if any because if any

238
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 1: of the fiber lock material got in that hose, then

239
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 1: it would then it would then it could go down

240
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 1: and create a blockage between the radiator and the bottle.

241
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 1: So I just would want to know, you know, if

242
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 1: you pop the if you pop the hose off the

243
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:52,080
Speaker 1: end of the bottle, if you can get the hose

244
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:54,840
Speaker 1: off the end of the bottle, you know, does coolant?

245
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 1: Does coolant drain out of there? Does water pass through there?

246
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:00,520
Speaker 1: Is it? Is it free and clear? That would be

247
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:03,680
Speaker 1: my first thought. My second thought is have you replaced

248
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 1: the radiator cap? Yes? I tried the radiator cap, but

249
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 1: you know, in this day and age, maybe I have

250
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:13,599
Speaker 1: to get a better or quality one where where what

251
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:17,680
Speaker 1: what what cap did you get? Um? I forgot what's

252
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 1: the Japanese made cap? But very it was very cheap,

253
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 1: so it be for all I know it might it

254
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 1: might not have been a good one. Um, what worries

255
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 1: me is what, Well, nothing really worries me. Sometimes it sucks,

256
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 1: it sucks it back, but still short. Sometimes it doesn't

257
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 1: suck it back. I hope, I hope you're right it's

258
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 1: just the radiator cap. Well, I would, I would, And

259
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 1: you know, when I want to eliminate all possibility of

260
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 1: of you know when I want to eliminate the guests

261
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 1: work about a part. You know, because you get what

262
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 1: you pay for, right. I think we're both old enough

263
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 1: we understand that today and you know, I'm going to

264
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 1: go and look at a stand stand to is the

265
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 1: Cadillac no pun intended of of radiator caps and cooling

266
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 1: system components. We use them in the shop all the time.

267
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 1: I've been turning wrenches forty three years. And you know,

268
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 1: Stant has always been there and they've always made a

269
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 1: great product. It's it's funny if you listen to this

270
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 1: week's uh Stant commercial. I'm thinking about this now. It

271
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 1: talks about how the radiator cap works and and creates

272
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 1: the vacuum and the siphons back and forth in the reservoir,

273
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:29,080
Speaker 1: and um, it's it's almost like you know, it's it's

274
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 1: describing your problem and how it's not working. So you know,

275
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 1: I would tell you it's it's between the bottle and

276
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:38,240
Speaker 1: them and the cap. I would think those are the

277
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 1: first two places I would go. You know, I can't

278
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 1: see it being a result of the fiber lock material.

279
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 1: I would think there's a problem elsewhere. Um So I

280
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 1: would you know, or at the very least, I'll do

281
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 1: that and I'll let you know. Yeah, you know, at

282
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:55,640
Speaker 1: the very least, I would take that radiator cap off.

283
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 1: If someone has a pressure tester and pump it up

284
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 1: and see does it release at the rated pressure of

285
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 1: the cap. You know, if the cap says sixteen pounds,

286
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 1: a pressure testers should pull it up to sixteen pounds

287
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:08,520
Speaker 1: and then it should dump and go to vacuum. And

288
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 1: you know that's the whole idea. And if it doesn't,

289
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 1: then there's a problem in that cap. Yeah. I When

290
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 1: I do remove it, I hear a vacuum. Right, Well,

291
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 1: that means it's sealed, But that doesn't mean that the

292
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 1: internal valving of the cap is working. Remember remember what

293
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 1: news stands for, Jimmy, You know, right right, you've been

294
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:31,640
Speaker 1: a long term listener. I heard you laugh. You know

295
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 1: what I'm gonna tell you new never ever worked. So, um,

296
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 1: I would I would start with a stamp. I would

297
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:39,440
Speaker 1: check that cap, get out the stamp, dot comm and

298
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 1: could read more about radiators and and and cooling systems

299
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:46,040
Speaker 1: and uh, radiator caps. I mean, radiator caps are just

300
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 1: so interesting in how they work that you could probably

301
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 1: do a two hour dissertation in it. Um. It's such

302
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:53,760
Speaker 1: a it's such a simple but yet a complicated piece

303
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 1: of machinery. It's got to be built to a very

304
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 1: exact standard. All right, sir, you're very welcome. You take

305
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:03,360
Speaker 1: good here. Let's uh, let's let's let's we jump over

306
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:05,240
Speaker 1: and can we go to Connecticut. Let's go over to

307
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 1: Larry in Connecticut. Larry. Oh boy, sorry Larry. They put

308
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:18,959
Speaker 1: us up to that. Um. Actually, Tom put me up

309
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:22,399
Speaker 1: to that. UM. So I understand you're having a birthday,

310
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:28,440
Speaker 1: yeah Ce, Oh, happy birthday dude. So great, that's great.

311
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 1: What can I do for you? What's the question? Well,

312
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:35,800
Speaker 1: I've got a oh five Vobio S forty and I'm

313
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:39,560
Speaker 1: getting an engine light and I hooked up my reader

314
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 1: to it. That's coming up code uh Z, And let's

315
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 1: say this right. Is this a turbo charged motor? No, No,

316
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 1: it's not. Yeah, all right, So there's a couple of things.

317
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 1: You got a pencil, piece of paper. Okay, So the

318
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:03,399
Speaker 1: first thing we want to do is we want to

319
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:07,280
Speaker 1: look at crank case vacuum. All right. Um, they have

320
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 1: issues with the oil trap under the intake manifold and

321
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 1: that goes bad. So you know, if if I had

322
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:16,159
Speaker 1: a wish list in the mechanic or you're capable, I

323
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 1: pulled a dipstick and put a vacuum gauge on the tube,

324
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 1: run the engine and make sure that I don't have

325
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:24,280
Speaker 1: more than two inches of manifold vacuum pulling on that gauge.

326
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 1: If I do, I've probably got a restricted oil trap

327
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 1: under the intake. All right. Um, then I want to

328
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:33,879
Speaker 1: go to fuel pressure. Fuel pressure spec is p S

329
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 1: I. I I want to make sure it's correct. And I'll

330
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:38,359
Speaker 1: tell you what, Larry, stay where you are gonna We're

331
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 1: gonna return and talk about this a little bit further. UM.

332
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:42,880
Speaker 1: I don't want to rush this. I'm running eating the car. Doctor,

333
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 1: We'll be right back to buckle back right in any

334
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:01,879
Speaker 1: of the doctor, let's go and finish our conversation with

335
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:03,680
Speaker 1: Larry up and can they get Larry you're still there.

336
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:06,840
Speaker 1: I know you're rushing off your birthday. Let me um,

337
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:08,919
Speaker 1: let me, let me finish this real quick. So the

338
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:10,679
Speaker 1: deal is you've got a one seventy two on this

339
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:14,360
Speaker 1: Volvo and we're talking about a fulture and issue. Volvos

340
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:16,840
Speaker 1: have a habit of clogging the oil trap under the

341
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 1: intake manifold, So you want to check manifold vacuum. It

342
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:23,040
Speaker 1: shouldn't be higher than two inches at idle okay um.

343
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 1: That being said, then if we have smoke, let's say

344
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 1: it passes all right. If we have a smoke machine,

345
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 1: I'd like to put smoke down the dipstick tube and

346
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:34,199
Speaker 1: see if I've got a leak at the back of

347
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:37,400
Speaker 1: the engine under the intake manifold. They've got this um

348
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 1: hole there for uh with a rubber plug, and they've

349
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:43,680
Speaker 1: had issues where that pushes out and creates a vacuum leak.

350
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:48,040
Speaker 1: There's a bulletin from Volvo um that talks about this

351
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:51,320
Speaker 1: double O fifty two, if memory serves me correct, and

352
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 1: they talk about how the new plug is going to

353
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:55,240
Speaker 1: be a metal one and it looks like a freeze

354
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:58,359
Speaker 1: out plug that type of thing, all right, UM, so

355
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:01,640
Speaker 1: just common sense stuff. Then then they talk about there's

356
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:04,639
Speaker 1: issues with the vacuum line, going to the map sensor,

357
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:07,640
Speaker 1: make sure it's not cracked, to make sure it's not leaking.

358
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 1: And then you want to look at fuel pressure fuel

359
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 1: pressure on this is s I. All right, If the

360
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 1: fuel pressure is incorrect, you've probably got a bad fuel

361
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:24,719
Speaker 1: pressure sensor on the rail and you need to go

362
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:28,720
Speaker 1: through checking that and testing that, all right. And then

363
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:32,120
Speaker 1: lest but not least, the mass airflow sensor on these

364
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:35,000
Speaker 1: cars are known to skew and go out of calibration.

365
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:41,159
Speaker 1: You you should see somewhere around two point seven to

366
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 1: three point five at idle and you know, max wide

367
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 1: open throttle, calculated load. Um. And then keep in mind

368
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 1: there is also a bulletin not a bulletin, but there's

369
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:57,000
Speaker 1: a tech note Dish forty eight and forty nine, I

370
00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:59,280
Speaker 1: believe it as it talks about updated software, so you

371
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:01,560
Speaker 1: always want to go and make sure the software is updated,

372
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:04,480
Speaker 1: especially on this particular car they've got. So there's a

373
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 1: bunch of things to go through here, all right, UM,

374
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:10,440
Speaker 1: at least at least Yeah, it's it's it's a pretty

375
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:14,640
Speaker 1: good list. These are pretty common. Um, you know it's

376
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:17,320
Speaker 1: I have found more than a few of the map

377
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:20,960
Speaker 1: lines being cracked as a cause of the problem. But um,

378
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 1: you know it's it's you just gotta go through from

379
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:26,880
Speaker 1: start to finish. All right, okay, and listen, go ahead

380
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:28,920
Speaker 1: and have a great birthday today. All right, Thanks, I

381
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:32,160
Speaker 1: appreciate it, Thank you, good luck, good bye. Bye. Let's

382
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 1: go over and talk to Dennis in Westchester, New York. Dennis,

383
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:35,879
Speaker 1: you're on with the car doctor, sir. How can I

384
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:40,120
Speaker 1: help hi? Ron? Uh? Yeah, I have a two thousand

385
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:44,400
Speaker 1: and four GMC Envoy XUV with the six cylinder four

386
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:47,240
Speaker 1: point two leader, and I seem to be going through

387
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 1: exhaust manifolds. They seem to crack or burned through, uh

388
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:55,359
Speaker 1: towards the center, not too much, not too far above

389
00:21:55,440 --> 00:22:01,359
Speaker 1: the O two sensors, you know. I uh my original,

390
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 1: my my GMC original probably lasted a hund miles and

391
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:11,399
Speaker 1: after markets I put on. Since then, I'm I'm on

392
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:15,280
Speaker 1: my second one and uh uh I get about a

393
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:19,399
Speaker 1: ten and twelve thousand miles out of it. Can I

394
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 1: tell you what my guess is? It was? It was

395
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:23,840
Speaker 1: that word you used? What was that word you just

396
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:27,520
Speaker 1: said began with an a UM aftermarket That's right, that's

397
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:29,720
Speaker 1: what it was. I would tell you it's probably the

398
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 1: cheaper aftermarket manifold. Was there a huge price difference between

399
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:37,840
Speaker 1: the original equipment piece and the aftermarket version? M off hand.

400
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:41,120
Speaker 1: I can't say. I can't recall. You know, I went

401
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:45,119
Speaker 1: to the dormant right now. You know, some of the

402
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:48,440
Speaker 1: Dorman stuff is great, and some of the Dormant stuff

403
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 1: leaves me scratch my head saying why. And you know,

404
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 1: if if, if they're close on price, I'll go with

405
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 1: an OIE part in an application like this, just because

406
00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 1: it's gonna be less of a headache. All right, Okay,

407
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:01,320
Speaker 1: Now let me ask you this question. Have you called

408
00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:04,480
Speaker 1: Dorman and asked them have you made them a wear? No?

409
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:07,640
Speaker 1: I I that was gonna be my next step, would

410
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:10,520
Speaker 1: because I tell me, you know, it's warrantied and all

411
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:14,800
Speaker 1: of its a limited lifetime whatever the limited? Right? Yeah?

412
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:16,400
Speaker 1: But how many times do we want to take this apart?

413
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:18,240
Speaker 1: And how many times should you have to take you apart?

414
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:21,200
Speaker 1: I had a problem. I had a problem with Dorman

415
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:24,560
Speaker 1: oh two years ago. And you know it's it's real

416
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:26,919
Speaker 1: easy to roast a company up on the national stage,

417
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:29,639
Speaker 1: and I try not to do that. I think of

418
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:31,840
Speaker 1: that as abusive power. But I'll tell you this story

419
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:34,679
Speaker 1: because like everything else I say, it's factual to the

420
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 1: best of my knowledge, and I was there for this one.

421
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:41,880
Speaker 1: UM for tourists, Sable has a washer nozzle hose comes

422
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:43,719
Speaker 1: out under the hood, you know, late models oh one,

423
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:46,480
Speaker 1: O two, oh three is old, old but not old enough.

424
00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:50,680
Speaker 1: UM the plastic rubber hose or the hard plastic host

425
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 1: that comes up off the washer bottle and connects to

426
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 1: the washer nozzles at the hood. Dorman makes a replacement

427
00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 1: and you put one on and we'd get six seven

428
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:01,280
Speaker 1: months out of it, and it would crack right in

429
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:03,640
Speaker 1: the elbow and okay, yeah, it's got a warranty, it's

430
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:07,920
Speaker 1: a fifty dollar hose whatever. And we'd get another one

431
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 1: and we put it on and you were like why

432
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:13,919
Speaker 1: all right? So we we finally got a piece right

433
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:16,040
Speaker 1: out of Ford. The customer was able to wait because

434
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:19,119
Speaker 1: it was always a time issue. And turns out that

435
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 1: the Ford piece is just a little bit thicker in

436
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:24,639
Speaker 1: the wall, it's formed a little bit better, it's just

437
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:27,399
Speaker 1: made a little bit nicer. You know what We started

438
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 1: using the Ford piece the problem went away. So it

439
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:32,720
Speaker 1: just so happened. That was the week and I think

440
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 1: I talked about this here on air, uh maybe a

441
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:39,480
Speaker 1: year seven eight months ago that we're There was a

442
00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:41,640
Speaker 1: mini trade show from one of our vendors that week

443
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:43,439
Speaker 1: and I went to it and Dorman was there and

444
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:45,160
Speaker 1: I explained it all to them, and I was shocked.

445
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:48,399
Speaker 1: They said, you, we haven't any problems. Nobody's complained, and

446
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:52,320
Speaker 1: I was like, wow, so you know what, let's start complaining.

447
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:56,360
Speaker 1: Let's start letting them know. Yeah. And the other thing

448
00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 1: is I have like it sounds like a valve tap

449
00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 1: at idle when I you know, depending which way to

450
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:06,480
Speaker 1: cause leaning if it's if it's downhill, it may not develop.

451
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:09,720
Speaker 1: But at I when you start up, you'll get a

452
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:11,480
Speaker 1: little tap on the vowel, but soon as you start

453
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:15,480
Speaker 1: to accelerated seems to uh disappear. But this has that

454
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 1: like a retarder. Uh yeah, but that so well, let

455
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:23,760
Speaker 1: me you know, being being nose down or nose up

456
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:25,639
Speaker 1: better or not have any bearing on whether or not

457
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:27,439
Speaker 1: that engine makes noise, because if it does, then I'm

458
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:29,480
Speaker 1: gonna start thinking about the oil pump pick up in

459
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:32,000
Speaker 1: the in the pan and is it restricted or is

460
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:33,960
Speaker 1: it you know, is there is there a sludge issue

461
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:37,359
Speaker 1: or varnish issue? Um? You know? So you know have

462
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:41,160
Speaker 1: you have you owned this since new? You know from

463
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:45,000
Speaker 1: brand new? Always change the oil around anywhere between three

464
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:47,639
Speaker 1: and four thousand miles Okay, so we can make a

465
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:50,120
Speaker 1: safe assumption I wouldn't hurt to pull the valve cap off,

466
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 1: look inside the valve cover, what does it look like

467
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:54,320
Speaker 1: in there? How clean is it? Or look inside the

468
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:56,919
Speaker 1: uh oil pan? Maybe take a boar scope, take a

469
00:25:56,920 --> 00:25:58,440
Speaker 1: peek up there the next time you got the dream

470
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:00,720
Speaker 1: plug out. And if we go on assumption that the

471
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:03,639
Speaker 1: pan is clean, then you know, I'm gonna start to

472
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:05,879
Speaker 1: think about I'd have to hear the noise. Is it

473
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:08,280
Speaker 1: just normal sludge and varnish at a hundred and seventy

474
00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:12,160
Speaker 1: thousand miles um, you know, and that would be a concern.

475
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:15,879
Speaker 1: And then maybe, you know, we want to consider what

476
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 1: oil filter we're putting on there. Could we have an

477
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:19,760
Speaker 1: oil filter on there that's got a poor drain back

478
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:24,640
Speaker 1: valve that's creating an issue? Um right? Right? Well, most

479
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:27,160
Speaker 1: of the time I try to go with the delcos. Right, Well,

480
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:29,960
Speaker 1: Delco should be a Delco filter should be a good filter.

481
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:34,280
Speaker 1: You may just just for giggles try try different brand,

482
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:40,720
Speaker 1: put a Wicks on. You know, it can't hurt any

483
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:47,879
Speaker 1: Thoughts on the new Acadius Yeah, positive negative Acadius right,

484
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:49,480
Speaker 1: And I see they come out with a model and

485
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 1: has this thinky transmission, a thing where when you do

486
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:57,359
Speaker 1: the all terrain options on it, you can put it

487
00:26:57,359 --> 00:26:59,879
Speaker 1: in tow mode, you can put it in down hill mode.

488
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:02,879
Speaker 1: You know, it's got like a little hinky thing that

489
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:04,960
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's gonna be a problem that well,

490
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:08,640
Speaker 1: I might look into a new Acadia, you know, I

491
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:10,960
Speaker 1: think right now, if I was looking for an SUV

492
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:14,840
Speaker 1: or something of that that category, I unless I was,

493
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:19,200
Speaker 1: you know, absolutely violently opposed, I probably avoid the GM

494
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:21,600
Speaker 1: stuff right now just because of some of their electronics.

495
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:26,080
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not convinced. And you know, just so

496
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:28,560
Speaker 1: this isn't just you know, this isn't just opinion, Dennis.

497
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:30,800
Speaker 1: When I talked to my when I talked to the guys,

498
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 1: I know that are the dealer text that are seeing

499
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 1: it all day long. When the dealer texts are telling

500
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:37,399
Speaker 1: me they wouldn't drive a GM product right now, that

501
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:41,240
Speaker 1: sort of tells me something. You know, it's it's you know,

502
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:44,919
Speaker 1: General Motors is going through some changes in their engineering issues.

503
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:49,639
Speaker 1: And I had a two thousand fourteen Lacrosse that the

504
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:53,480
Speaker 1: instrument panel would go blank going down into State at

505
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:57,359
Speaker 1: sixty and it was like you restarted the car and

506
00:27:57,359 --> 00:27:59,720
Speaker 1: and GM couldn't figure it out for the life of them, right,

507
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:05,080
Speaker 1: And it's it's you know, it's sad to say and

508
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:07,520
Speaker 1: listen if you're a long term listener. I'm a GM guy.

509
00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:10,800
Speaker 1: I was a GM kid. Um. I keep saying what

510
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:12,560
Speaker 1: happened in my car company. I think they kind of

511
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:16,040
Speaker 1: lost their way. But you know, i'd be looking at

512
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:18,360
Speaker 1: a Ford, I'd be looking at a Toyota and see

513
00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:20,920
Speaker 1: if I can find something in that. Uh, find something

514
00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:26,960
Speaker 1: in that. Yeah, right, And you're very welcome, Dennis, you

515
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:29,240
Speaker 1: take good care. Um. You know, I didn't even touch

516
00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:30,640
Speaker 1: on it with Dennis, But then I guess my other

517
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:32,800
Speaker 1: question is and he check engine light on and he

518
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:35,359
Speaker 1: leaned fuel mixture. Is the manifold discolored? But I'd be

519
00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:38,040
Speaker 1: willing to bet that it's not made or welded properly

520
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:40,680
Speaker 1: where the headers come together. And that's why it's leaking,

521
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:42,400
Speaker 1: so let him call it Dorman. Let's beat them up

522
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 1: and see if they make it right. Zero nine nine

523
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:47,800
Speaker 1: zero zero. I'm running any of the car doctor, and

524
00:28:47,800 --> 00:29:13,720
Speaker 1: I'll be back right after this. Hey, welcome back when

525
00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:16,000
Speaker 1: I'm needing the car doctor. Um. Let's do a quick

526
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:18,600
Speaker 1: piece of email here, Hey, Ron, this one comes to

527
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:20,960
Speaker 1: us from Ray. Hey, Ron, I'd like your recommendation for

528
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:25,280
Speaker 1: tires for two thousand four four wheel drive Explorer. Uh?

529
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:27,120
Speaker 1: Was they say a great show? Listen all the time

530
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:32,080
Speaker 1: I'm considering Michelin's, but I wanted to get your thoughts, Ray, Um, Ray, listen, Uh,

531
00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:35,840
Speaker 1: Michelin great tire. Uh. Let me say it like this.

532
00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 1: When we start talking about tires down in the shop,

533
00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:43,560
Speaker 1: I always try to sell a good, better, best scenario,

534
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:46,720
Speaker 1: all right, And I also look at dollars. It comes

535
00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:49,680
Speaker 1: down to dollars. Michelin's a good tire, They're the most

536
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:52,120
Speaker 1: expensive tire. Are they the right bang for the buck?

537
00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:54,160
Speaker 1: Are you gonna get the most bang for your buck?

538
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:57,160
Speaker 1: And that's always a concern, you know, when I start

539
00:29:57,200 --> 00:30:01,560
Speaker 1: to price Michelin's against Michelin against the general for example,

540
00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:05,480
Speaker 1: all right, I'll will usually find that that Michelin is

541
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:09,720
Speaker 1: a third more in terms of total cost. And when

542
00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:12,360
Speaker 1: you start to price that out four tires, a set

543
00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:15,280
Speaker 1: of four tires, you know, side by side. If the

544
00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:19,160
Speaker 1: generals are a third less, you'll find that you can

545
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:21,720
Speaker 1: buy one tire for the price of that set of

546
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:26,600
Speaker 1: four Michelin's. That's you know, you start looking at dollars.

547
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:29,280
Speaker 1: It's got to make sense. And for me, unless I'm

548
00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:33,480
Speaker 1: looking for something very specific, uh, you know, I've gotten

549
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:36,959
Speaker 1: away from Michelin of late and steered more towards the

550
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:41,880
Speaker 1: generals and giving people a good ride, a safe ride

551
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:45,920
Speaker 1: and getting you know, comparable tread wear, and that's there

552
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:49,520
Speaker 1: in some cases better tread wear because Michelin's don't really

553
00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:52,120
Speaker 1: war like they used to. Michelin is not the tire

554
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:56,040
Speaker 1: that it once was in my eyes, and a lot

555
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:57,720
Speaker 1: of bang for the buck because it's about bang for

556
00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:00,080
Speaker 1: the buck today, especially in a tough economy. You can

557
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:02,360
Speaker 1: read more about the generals of General Tire dot com.

558
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 1: Let me comment on that second thing. I want to

559
00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:08,920
Speaker 1: talk about the class we went to this past week.

560
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 1: And I didn't mention this in the open because we

561
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:14,080
Speaker 1: were we were rushing right along. UM I wanted to

562
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:16,240
Speaker 1: bring this up. It was an interesting conversation. One of

563
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:18,959
Speaker 1: the other things we talked about this weekend class was

564
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:23,560
Speaker 1: liability of somebody brings us parts and asks us to

565
00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:29,720
Speaker 1: install them. Can't do it. Here's why. Somebody buys break

566
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 1: parts off the internet or anything off the internet, and

567
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:35,240
Speaker 1: they bring them to a repair shop and they install them.

568
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:37,360
Speaker 1: And if you're a repair shop, you should really listen

569
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:40,840
Speaker 1: to this. If you install parts that somebody brings into

570
00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:48,240
Speaker 1: your shop and those parts fail, somebody's hurt, injured, damage killed, Okay,

571
00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:53,320
Speaker 1: you're liabel. It doesn't matter if you are putting down

572
00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:57,160
Speaker 1: customer supply parts, no warranty, no liability, et cetera, at

573
00:31:57,240 --> 00:31:59,360
Speaker 1: least in New Jersey, because we're in New Jersey and

574
00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:01,560
Speaker 1: that was the converse station. There is a New Jersey

575
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:04,840
Speaker 1: Warranty Act that prohibits repair shops from saying that they're

576
00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:07,280
Speaker 1: actually breaking the law by doing so, something I wasn't

577
00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:11,000
Speaker 1: aware of. And there's conversation that this is similar around

578
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:13,680
Speaker 1: the country. That it really comes down to you put

579
00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:16,480
Speaker 1: on those parts, that car has an accident, that car

580
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:19,560
Speaker 1: has a failure, you're libel for that issue, and you're

581
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:21,200
Speaker 1: gonna have to make good on it whether you want

582
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:24,400
Speaker 1: to or not. So just um really kind of turned

583
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:26,560
Speaker 1: my head. And I can tell you why, you know what,

584
00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:28,240
Speaker 1: Let me pull over. I'll take the pause. I'll tell

585
00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:32,280
Speaker 1: you why you're libel when I return eight zero nine

586
00:32:32,560 --> 00:33:04,080
Speaker 1: zero zero. The car Doctors coming back, don't go away.

587
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:06,560
Speaker 1: That welcome back. I'm naming the car doctor eight five

588
00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:09,520
Speaker 1: five zero nine nine zero zeros. The phone number I

589
00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:11,400
Speaker 1: should point out, and I always do point out, but

590
00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:13,680
Speaker 1: let me point out again that the eight five five

591
00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:17,120
Speaker 1: five zero nine nine zero zero is seven. You can

592
00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:19,360

00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:36,000
Speaker 1: in mind too, if you're podcasting or listening and you

00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:38,360
Speaker 1: know on an affiliate out of network or on the

600
00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:41,080
Speaker 1: network that we're out of the lifetime zone, you can

601
00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:44,480
Speaker 1: call the eight five five five zero nine zero zero

602
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:47,920
Speaker 1: phone number two to four pm Saturday's Eastern time, and

603
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:49,880

Speaker 1: talk to you about your car problems. We'll keep that

606
00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:56,040
Speaker 1: in mind. Liability. I want to talk about this real quick.

607
00:33:56,320 --> 00:33:58,640
Speaker 1: So somebody walks in, they bring you a set of

608
00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:00,960
Speaker 1: brake pads and rotors that they borrow the Internet. And

609
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:03,360
Speaker 1: it's not that they're made in China, because everything's made

610
00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:06,480
Speaker 1: in China today, all right. The problem is if those

611
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:09,880
Speaker 1: parts go bad and there's an accident or or somebody

612
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:14,480
Speaker 1: gets hurt um or worse, the problem is there's no

613
00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:18,160
Speaker 1: one to sue. You can't go to China and sue somebody,

614
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:21,239
Speaker 1: all right. It doesn't work like that. So what the

615
00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:24,279
Speaker 1: lawyers look for, and the way society works, in the

616
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:26,080
Speaker 1: way the insurance companies look for, they look for the

617
00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:28,680
Speaker 1: next guy in the food chain. If you're the repair shop,

618
00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:31,840
Speaker 1: you know what, you're the first and the only guy.

619
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:34,080
Speaker 1: So they're gonna come and sue you. And if your

620
00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:36,839
Speaker 1: insurance doesn't cover it, you've got a legal issue. I'm

621
00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:39,359
Speaker 1: no lawyer, but that's the way it was explained to us.

622
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:42,879
Speaker 1: Bottom Line, what they told us is when you buy

623
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:46,360
Speaker 1: parts from your local parts house, yeah you might be

624
00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:49,000
Speaker 1: paying a little bit more, but you're also paying for

625
00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:51,759
Speaker 1: the fact that when the insurance company comes down and says, well,

626
00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:55,560
Speaker 1: let's see the brakes failed. Was it Billy Bob's ought

627
00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:58,600
Speaker 1: to repair or was it Billy Bob's parts store. They're

628
00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:00,600
Speaker 1: gonna go with to Billy Bob's parts door because he's

629
00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:04,160
Speaker 1: got the relationship with the manufacturer, and the manufacturer is

630
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:06,920
Speaker 1: going to have the product liability insurance. That's gonna make

631
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:10,880
Speaker 1: the that's gonna make the side that's suing happy and

632
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:13,200
Speaker 1: be able to pay off the claim. So um uh,

633
00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:17,240
Speaker 1: there's a real big risk when repair shops install customers

634
00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:19,560
Speaker 1: supplied parts. And I think the day for that, it's

635
00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:22,000
Speaker 1: it's coming under the spotlight now because a lot of

636
00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:25,239
Speaker 1: people are having issues with it that um I think

637
00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:28,520
Speaker 1: you're going to see that maybe go away or change

638
00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:31,399
Speaker 1: in the way that it's. Um it's it's being done. Hey,

639
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:34,040
Speaker 1: coming up next hour, by the way, it's that time
