1
00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:07,640
Speaker 1: Ron Andanian mechanical things. Internal combustion engines always work really

2
00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:11,239
Speaker 1: well with casoline. So rule number one always check the

3
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:18,160
Speaker 1: gas in the lawnmower. Not wearing your songlasses the car Doctor.

4
00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:19,479
Speaker 1: You know what, there's a lot to be said for

5
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:22,960
Speaker 1: older vehicles. Sometimes parts are an issue, sometimes rust is

6
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:24,599
Speaker 1: an issue. But if you stay on top of both

7
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:26,520
Speaker 1: of that, you know we can source things and keep

8
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:28,840
Speaker 1: things running. And you know we know where the faults

9
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:32,080
Speaker 1: are in the older vehicles. Welcome to the radio home

10
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:36,680
Speaker 1: of ron Andanian the Car Doctor, since this is where

11
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:40,599
Speaker 1: car owners the world overturned to for their definitive opinion

12
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:44,600
Speaker 1: on automotive repair. If your mechanics giving you a busy signal,

13
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 1: pick up the phone and call in the garage doors

14
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:50,240
Speaker 1: are open, but I am here to take your calls

15
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 1: at eight five five five six and now running. Hey,

16
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 1: hello and welcome Ronny in the car docuate your service.

17
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,120
Speaker 1: Let's get over and talk to Ross in Michigan. O

18
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:04,319
Speaker 1: a cheap Patriot. We're gonna move it along this hour.

19
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 1: How are you today, Ross? What's going on? I'm doing good.

20
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:11,319
Speaker 1: I'm doing good. I've got a two thousand and eight

21
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:15,559
Speaker 1: gap Patriot that I've had since day one. It's been

22
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:18,680
Speaker 1: in spite of all the bad reviews they get, it's

23
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 1: been a wonderful vehicle for me. Uh, two hundred and

24
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:25,120
Speaker 1: seventy three thousand miles on. It just doesn't burn a

25
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:28,760
Speaker 1: drop oil. But suddenly to the lights started coming on.

26
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:32,320
Speaker 1: It's just broken in. In other words, so three three

27
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:34,960
Speaker 1: thousand and still climbing. When you say all the lights

28
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 1: come on ross you're you're saying dash lights, Yeah, I've

29
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:41,680
Speaker 1: got the B A S or is that the B

30
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 1: A P B at the E S P B A

31
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 1: S moring light on a wheel drive light comes on,

32
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 1: and then the even the transmission light has been coming on,

33
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 1: and that will come on even when the vehicles place cold,

34
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 1: and that the heat gage will come on for the

35
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 1: transmission um driving down the street all of a sudden.

36
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 1: Sometimes it'll just all of a sudden like drop down.

37
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 1: You can't go over fifteen miles an hour, and then

38
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 1: it'll start running fine again. You have you had any

39
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 1: have you had any diagnosis? Don't do it any code scanning.

40
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 1: I was on my way to get it to get

41
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 1: the scans done the other day and dropped down and

42
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 1: wouldn't go over fifteen miles an hour, so I was

43
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 1: only a bile from home. So I turned around and

44
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 1: came back, and you know, all right, so I didn't

45
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 1: make it there. But you know, it all started right

46
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 1: after someone stole my catalytic converter and the insurance replaced it,

47
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 1: and was shortly after that then all the lights started

48
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 1: coming on. Yeah, I mean yeah, unless, yeah, i'd be

49
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 1: pressed to see a connection, you know, catalytic converter under

50
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 1: the vehicle, unless wiring harness got damaged somewhere or something's

51
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 1: not tucked in properly. I'm not saying it's not likely,

52
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 1: but a replacement cat's not gonna cause this kind of

53
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 1: a thing. The engine still running when the lights come on, correct, Yes, okay,

54
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 1: so let's let's let's let's stay with what works, and

55
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 1: let's just try to put a mechanic in there and

56
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 1: get some diagnosis. So I want a complete scan of

57
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 1: all the modules, and what I'm expecting you're going to

58
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:15,919
Speaker 1: find is going to be communication fault error codes. All right. Now,

59
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 1: you can't do this with an O B D two scanner.

60
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 1: You have to you have to go in year make model.

61
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:23,920
Speaker 1: You may see some things on O B D two.

62
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 1: Let me retract that statement. You may see some things

63
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 1: on O B D two, but on a case like this,

64
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,359
Speaker 1: I want to see everybody. Here's the difference, all right,

65
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 1: how many languages do you speak? Ross? Okay? So, so

66
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:41,839
Speaker 1: cars speak a variety of languages at different speeds. All right,

67
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 1: So O b D two, Well here let's say it

68
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 1: like this. You've got a jeep. Your car speaks Chrysler,

69
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 1: all right. Chrysler has its operating language and its operating system.

70
00:03:55,360 --> 00:04:00,080
Speaker 1: In order to properly interrogate Chrysler language, you need a

71
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 1: dealer level capable scan tool, all right. You need something

72
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 1: that will interpret Chrysler language. All right. But as far

73
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 1: as the federal government's concerned, you never look under the hood.

74
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:16,719
Speaker 1: And you see that decl that says this vehicle meets

75
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 1: and exceeds all federal emissions requirements for model year two

76
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 1: thousand and eight, and every car has got one appropriate

77
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 1: to the manufacturer, inappropriate to the model year. Okay, so

78
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 1: you know that's that's that's the FEDS, and that's O

79
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:35,479
Speaker 1: b D two. All right. On board diagnostics too. You

80
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 1: can go in under onboard diagnostics too, but you're only

81
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,839
Speaker 1: going to talk to those modules that are directly involved

82
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:45,159
Speaker 1: in emission controls and may not necessarily affect the other

83
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 1: operation of the vehicle. If you go in and speak,

84
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 1: use a module, use a scan tool that speaks to Chrysler,

85
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 1: you're gonna hear everything and everybody. Okay, that was my

86
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 1: that was my water bottle I knocked over. So so

87
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 1: I'm still life. So you want to go in and

88
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 1: scan it. I think what you're going to find is

89
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 1: communication folds. And if you do, I want you to

90
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 1: pay particular attention to Splice S three oh six, which

91
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 1: is along the left silk plate near the left kick panel.

92
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 1: All right, it comes out of it comes out of

93
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:23,039
Speaker 1: connector one oh three. Connector one oh three Power comes

94
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:26,479
Speaker 1: down and goes to Splice three oh six. They're known

95
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 1: to corrode. They're known to go bad. They are a

96
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:33,360
Speaker 1: common known problem on that generation, your make model vehicle.

97
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 1: So I want you to go ahead, go ahead. I

98
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:39,720
Speaker 1: was gonna say I did take the kick panel off

99
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:43,840
Speaker 1: because I had read that on online and I wasn't sure.

100
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:46,919
Speaker 1: I said it was the wire would be looped and

101
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,360
Speaker 1: it would be some tape on it. But I'm not

102
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 1: really a mechanic, so I stopped at that point I

103
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 1: didn't want to. Well, what I would any more problem Listen,

104
00:05:56,440 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 1: before we disturb anything and possibly change anything. What I

105
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 1: would do is I would at least get it scanned,

106
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,920
Speaker 1: Get it scanned, see what sort of faults come back.

107
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:09,039
Speaker 1: One of the things I hate about, you know, diagnosing

108
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 1: or working on a vehicle until I've diagnosed it is

109
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:15,279
Speaker 1: do I disturb something and create another secondary problem. So

110
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 1: what I want you to do is I want you

111
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:21,039
Speaker 1: to get it scanned. I've got communication faults. If if

112
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 1: Splice three oh six is part of those communication networks,

113
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 1: then let's go in and take that apart and look

114
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 1: at it. But one of my stepfast rules over the

115
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 1: past forty years is no quick fix. Let's go look

116
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 1: and let's diagnose one step at a time. Let's find

117
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 1: out what's good. Let's find out what's bad and work

118
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,719
Speaker 1: our way out from there. But think about Splice three

119
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,160
Speaker 1: oh six, and after you get it scanned, if you

120
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:43,039
Speaker 1: have any more questions, give me a call back. Ross.

121
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 1: Let's get on over and talk to Let's go talk

122
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:48,279
Speaker 1: to Wayne in New Hampshire, OH five buk less Saber

123
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 1: and a problem with the blower motor. Wayne, Welcome, to

124
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:54,479
Speaker 1: the car doctor, sir, how can I help? Good afternoon ron.

125
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 1: The situation started about two months ago. A sudden, the

126
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:03,160
Speaker 1: band motor didn't work. Um. I tried sliding the the

127
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 1: knocked back and forth and did nothing. Um. All of

128
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 1: a sudden, one day I started up to stand works okay, great, Um,

129
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 1: Then one day it doesn't. Sometimes it will go on

130
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 1: a three day run to where it doesn't work, and

131
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 1: you know, a few more days it works, and then

132
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 1: it'll arbitrarily quit. I checked the fuse, Okay, fan motors, fine,

133
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 1: how do you know the fan? How do you know

134
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 1: the fan motors? Fine? Um? I heart wored it right

135
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 1: off the battery. It works straight, wide open, right off

136
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 1: the battery. But um, and the dealer recommended I buy

137
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 1: a resistor. It was huge, um, And all of a

138
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 1: sudden the fans started working again. So I took that

139
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 1: part back. Um, I don't get it. Well, today it

140
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 1: works great. So what they're doing is a million years ago,

141
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 1: when when God was young and dirt was invented and

142
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 1: I was in high school. Blower motors used to work

143
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 1: with variable resistors. It was just a simple variable resistor circuit.

144
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 1: General Motors decided to elevate that. And you know on

145
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 1: a two thousand five buick, it's got a computer controlling

146
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 1: the voltage going out to the blower motor because it

147
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 1: gives more precise control. I guess the fuss pots wanted

148
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 1: to be able to get the exact amount of air,

149
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 1: so the exact amount of control. So all that all

150
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:34,439
Speaker 1: that dash switch is doing is providing of of voltage

151
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:38,080
Speaker 1: input request and then all the heavy work is done

152
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,599
Speaker 1: by the blower motor module. That big piece you but

153
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:43,079
Speaker 1: that's under the dash that's stuffed all the way in

154
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,840
Speaker 1: the front of the evaporator case right on the passenger side,

155
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 1: close to the floor plant. That's where that's where they

156
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 1: had you pointed right. So what you really want to

157
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 1: do is get a vaultmeter and look for voltage input

158
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 1: or tie a voltmeter into the lead going into that module.

159
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 1: And the next time it doesn't work, it's simple. Doesn't

160
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 1: have blower put request yes or no? Is voltage there

161
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:06,680
Speaker 1: yes or no? If it is. If it is, then

162
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:10,960
Speaker 1: the blower switch is good and you've got no power

163
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 1: coming out the other side. The request is there, the

164
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 1: command is there, but there's nothing coming out. Then that

165
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 1: blower module itself the control module itself is bad and

166
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:23,960
Speaker 1: that needs to be replaced. If you've got nothing from

167
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 1: the blower switch, then you've got a backtrack. But I've

168
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 1: got to tell you more times than not it was

169
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 1: either the module or melted wiring that occurred as a

170
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 1: result of high amperage draw out of the blower motor,

171
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:41,960
Speaker 1: which also took the blower module out. So don't assume

172
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:45,560
Speaker 1: the blower module is good. Fix the why it doesn't

173
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:47,840
Speaker 1: turn on every time problem. And then you need to

174
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:50,200
Speaker 1: measure current either with a clamp on amprob or an

175
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 1: inline meter to see what's the amperage draw of that

176
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 1: blower motor, and um, you know, if it's got high

177
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 1: amperage draw the blower motor itself needs to be replaced

178
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 1: to just from age because I've seen one effect the other.

179
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:04,080
Speaker 1: Do that. Call me back if you need more Wayne,

180
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 1: I'm Ron and any in the car doctor. We're back

181
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 1: right after this. He drives that way. But when it

182
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 1: comes to fixing cars, Ron has card advice done right

183
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 1: eight five five zero zero zero. Here's you know, how

184
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 1: we communicate is such an integral part of the auto

185
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:32,439
Speaker 1: repair process. And I don't know if it's I don't

186
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 1: know if I can really say it's just of the

187
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 1: auto repair process or of the process of being human.

188
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 1: And and there's two stories here to tell you, and

189
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 1: let me I'll tell you the first one first. Uh

190
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 1: huh um. Jimmy dropped off his fusion this week. It

191
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:48,080
Speaker 1: was due for an oil change and it he was

192
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 1: complaining about he saw as an oil leak. Hey, Ron,

193
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:52,679
Speaker 1: my car has got an oil leak. Can you take

194
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:55,840
Speaker 1: a look. And I looked at it, and it did

195
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 1: have an oil leak, but it wasn't engine oil. It

196
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 1: was rands fluid. It was a trans oil leak. The

197
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 1: trans oil cooler lines had rotted under the radiator there

198
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 1: there they come out of the trans they go up

199
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 1: under the radiator belly pan and then you know, as

200
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 1: you drive the car, all the wind gets swept up

201
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:16,319
Speaker 1: and under and um, you know they they where they

202
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 1: tuck up and they corrode over the years. It's ten

203
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 1: year old car goe on eleven years and needed trans

204
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:23,440
Speaker 1: cooler lines. So that was early in the week. He

205
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 1: took the car back. He drove it a little bit.

206
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 1: He find out the side of Hey, you know what,

207
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:27,840
Speaker 1: I want to change it. He brought it back on

208
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:30,320
Speaker 1: Friday and put the trans cooler lines and we we

209
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:32,199
Speaker 1: ordered the lines that Ford had him in stock. It's

210
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 1: a common problem. And um, you know I did trans

211
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 1: cooler lines. I also did radiator hoses. And you say

212
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:41,079
Speaker 1: to yourself, and Jimmy said it to me. He says,

213
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:42,800
Speaker 1: why are we doing radiator hoses in the car that

214
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:45,680
Speaker 1: needs trans cooler lines? And I said, well, in order

215
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:47,680
Speaker 1: to get the cooler lines off the radiator on the

216
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:49,680
Speaker 1: passenger side. It's a little easier if I get the

217
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:52,199
Speaker 1: one hose out of the way. The coolant has never

218
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 1: been serviced. And you know it's it's it's the green specialty.

219
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,120
Speaker 1: You know, five year, ten year, whoever stories was ever

220
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 1: story you want to believe, I got a story about

221
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:03,839
Speaker 1: Ford coolant. Will tell them the next couple of weeks.

222
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:08,720
Speaker 1: That will knock your socks off. And you know, let's

223
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:11,320
Speaker 1: just do hoses. They're gonna be hard, all right, Do

224
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 1: what you think is best, run you know best, Okay,

225
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:15,440
Speaker 1: take the car apart, through the trans oil cooler lines,

226
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 1: through the radiator hoses. The radiator hoses were hard as

227
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 1: a rock, like I expected, and the job went together fine.

228
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 1: Jimmy came to pick the car up, and I explained

229
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 1: to him. I said, everything is done. You know, the

230
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 1: cooler lines are done, the coolant is done, and the

231
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 1: radiator hoses are done. And you'll see a couple of

232
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 1: little drips and drops off the belly pan where the

233
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 1: cooler lines were leaking, but they'll go away in time.

234
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 1: I wipe down everything as good as I could, and

235
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 1: he said, well, what about the engine oil leak or

236
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:49,200
Speaker 1: what about the oil leak? And I said, what oil leak?

237
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 1: And he said, well, didn't have an oil leak to

238
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 1: He said, but you know, I'm a little confused. And

239
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:58,080
Speaker 1: I explained to him again. I said, Jimmy, you keep

240
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 1: saying it's an oil leak. You're thinking engine oil. I'm

241
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 1: hearing oil leak, and it's trans oil. And I realized

242
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 1: in our communication, I it's on me. I felt distinguished

243
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:15,440
Speaker 1: between which oil we're talking about. And I realized, you know,

244
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:20,560
Speaker 1: the art form of communication, in being exact in what's

245
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 1: exactly going on, is just very very important, and it

246
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 1: affects the repair process, and it affects our communication as

247
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:32,680
Speaker 1: human beings. And he said, great, he says, now I understand.

248
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:34,679
Speaker 1: He goes, now I know why you were so concerned

249
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:37,080
Speaker 1: because the end of the story was I said, by

250
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 1: the way, you were down two and a half quarts

251
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:41,880
Speaker 1: of trans fluid. And I said, at the rate you

252
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 1: were going, you were going to burn up the trends.

253
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:46,679
Speaker 1: And he said, now, I understand why you were saying

254
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:48,280
Speaker 1: that the last time, because I told him he was

255
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 1: gonna hurt the trends that he drove it with cooler

256
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:52,280
Speaker 1: lines leaking, he said, I couldn't make the connection between

257
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 1: engine oil cooler or engine oil, engine oil leaking and

258
00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 1: a transmission failure. He said, now I understand it with

259
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:00,320
Speaker 1: nothing to do it right, had nothing to do with

260
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:04,719
Speaker 1: engine leak. It was trans leak that was affecting and

261
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:08,080
Speaker 1: causing the trans fluid to get lost. Now, I told

262
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:11,560
Speaker 1: you that story to tell you this one. So the

263
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:14,840
Speaker 1: other day, my wife and I are texting and we're

264
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 1: I forget what it's about, you know, are you going here?

265
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 1: Can you pick this up? You know, the usual stuff

266
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 1: that people, you know, communicate back and forth to each

267
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 1: other during the course of the day. And as it

268
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:31,400
Speaker 1: turned out, the last text she had sent me required

269
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 1: a yes or no answer, And when she initially texted me,

270
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 1: she was walking, but by the time I got around

271
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 1: to answering, she was driving and her Ford Explorer will

272
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 1: take that text and announce it. So fifteen minutes later

273
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 1: she gets a reply to her first text, the word

274
00:14:54,000 --> 00:15:00,200
Speaker 1: the answer is yes, just yes, no explanation now out.

275
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 1: She pulled over, she read the text, and she texted

276
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 1: me back yes, what because you know, at that point

277
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 1: she was a little confused. And she actually then reached

278
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 1: out and called me and she said, did you mean

279
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 1: to reply yes? And you know, is this conversation between

280
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:19,880
Speaker 1: two people that have lived together for forty years? And

281
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 1: I couldn't understand what her confusion was. And then I

282
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:25,080
Speaker 1: realized she's hearing it through the dashboard of the car,

283
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 1: not looking at the phone, which prompted her to call

284
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 1: me back to talk about what exactly the car was

285
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 1: was was trying to say. And it made me stop

286
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 1: to realize that all these text matches, It would have

287
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 1: been easier if I had said, yes, I can pick

288
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 1: that up. It wasn't. It was just a simple, you know, misunderstanding.

289
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 1: But the point is, as in my conversation with Jimmy

290
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:51,600
Speaker 1: and the fusion and oil leaks, you know, not all

291
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 1: oil is engine oil. Sometimes it's trans fluid. Sometimes it's

292
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:58,120
Speaker 1: power steering oil. Sometimes it's coolant, because coolant gives an

293
00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 1: oil the appearance to it. Our conversations with each other,

294
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 1: on our conversations with mechanics, with each other, as human

295
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 1: beings in our daily interaction, clear communication is just so important.

296
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 1: And the car is mandating that because the car is

297
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 1: taking its text messaging and it's now making it so

298
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 1: that we're now all getting used to as human beings.

299
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 1: There's a psychological side to this. We're all getting used

300
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 1: to the ability of the car to decipher and just

301
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 1: display words. And if we're not careful how we say

302
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 1: it or what we say, um, the words aren't gonna

303
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 1: make any sense. And then everybody's gonna be confused. Are

304
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:34,720
Speaker 1: we talking about engine oil, trans oil? Or did you

305
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 1: send a text to the wrong person? And I I,

306
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 1: I thought it was important. I just wanted to make

307
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 1: that point that you know, sometimes that late text or

308
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 1: that incomplete text is going to be something that leads

309
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:49,640
Speaker 1: to a potential problem. And uh, you know, just just

310
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 1: be mindful of what you're doing. Is technology marches forward, right,

311
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 1: We're trying to march technology forward so that we don't

312
00:16:56,960 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 1: text and drive, which we shouldn't do so out we're

313
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:04,000
Speaker 1: listening to it right, the text is being displayed, but

314
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:06,879
Speaker 1: if it's not a clear, concise message, that creates an

315
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:09,119
Speaker 1: issue too, and we should go back to smoke Stnes.

316
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:11,880
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to get you a stake to put

317
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:15,639
Speaker 1: over your eye. One of these days was that because

318
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:17,200
Speaker 1: the MS is gonna give you a black eye when

319
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 1: you answer wrong. Well, you know, Tom, but Tom, you

320
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 1: get it right. It's it's it's it's it's just a

321
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 1: simple thing, right. How many times do you tell Mrs

322
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:30,880
Speaker 1: Tom ay, yes, no, right, go stop? But you can't

323
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:33,720
Speaker 1: do that anymore. The technology of the car one who's

324
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:36,440
Speaker 1: normally driving, so I'm the one who gets the word

325
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 1: ten minutes later gonna go right, So it really should

326
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:43,119
Speaker 1: say yes, I can pick that up. And the point

327
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:47,639
Speaker 1: becomes the car is forcing us, the technology and the

328
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 1: car is forcing us to change the way we talk

329
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:53,119
Speaker 1: to each other, and it may not necessarily be a

330
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 1: bad thing. Hey, Tom, coming up next. You know who's

331
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 1: in the studio waiting to go is um Bob Boma.

332
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:01,119
Speaker 1: He's the director of Engineering and Vance Technologies for Good

333
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:03,960
Speaker 1: Year Breaks. I had a great conversation with Bob prior

334
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,840
Speaker 1: to the show today about breaks and what Good Year

335
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:10,399
Speaker 1: Breaks is doing improving the brake system, but just a

336
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 1: general conversation we're gonna have with Bob talking about breaks,

337
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:16,399
Speaker 1: how to make sure they're safe. We're getting into the

338
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:19,439
Speaker 1: full driving season and um things to look forward to.

339
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:21,439
Speaker 1: And there's more information about Good Year Breaks at good

340
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 1: Year Breaks dot Com. So that's coming up next. Don't

341
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:26,240
Speaker 1: you go away, I'm rondingating in the car. Doctor will

342
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:59,160
Speaker 1: return right after this. It's one of the first things

343
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 1: and by the way, welcome back. One of the first

344
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:05,680
Speaker 1: things I learned as a young mechanic is there's some

345
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 1: key critical areas in cars. Car has got to have

346
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:11,480
Speaker 1: good tires, it's got to have good front end and

347
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 1: steering suspension components, and probably the most important are breaks.

348
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 1: You know, the brakes are we just assume they're going

349
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:21,480
Speaker 1: to stop and work, and we just get in the

350
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:22,960
Speaker 1: car and we don't give it a second thought. And

351
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 1: how many times a day are you on that brake pedal?

352
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:27,880
Speaker 1: And I want to try and drive that point home now,

353
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:32,440
Speaker 1: because you know, we're at that stage where the weather

354
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 1: is changing, we're gonna be getting into you know, poor

355
00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:38,240
Speaker 1: road conditions as we go into autumn and winter driving

356
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 1: and breaks for a year round thing. But I want

357
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:42,080
Speaker 1: you to get you to start thinking about it now,

358
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:44,439
Speaker 1: and I've I've asked Bob Bouma, he is the director

359
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:46,920
Speaker 1: of Engineering and Advanced Technologies for Good Year Breaks, to

360
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:49,640
Speaker 1: stop buying. Bob's with us today and we're gonna chat

361
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 1: a little bit about breaks. I want you to get

362
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 1: some education. Bob, Welcome to board, sir. You know, temperatures

363
00:19:55,560 --> 00:20:01,560
Speaker 1: are dropping right and right, and there absolutely it's getting

364
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:04,280
Speaker 1: pulled and there's some things that people need to start

365
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 1: thinking about. What can they do to their vehicle's brake

366
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 1: systems to make sure they're ready for you know, cold

367
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:14,920
Speaker 1: cold weather, not just necessarily winter, but cold weather driving. Well,

368
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 1: the number one thing is make sure you inspect your

369
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:22,119
Speaker 1: brake system. It's very good to know the quality of

370
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 1: your brake pads, whether or not you have life left,

371
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:29,199
Speaker 1: what the corrosion status is of your brake system. Like

372
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:31,680
Speaker 1: you said, we all take it for granted, and there's

373
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 1: nothing worse than to have that tend degree blow zero

374
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:37,400
Speaker 1: day and all of a sudden you're hearing a massive

375
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:41,879
Speaker 1: grinding and you know some of the warning signs with

376
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 1: breaks to me, what my my forty plus years has

377
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:48,719
Speaker 1: taught me is that they'll come in complaining about a

378
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:50,800
Speaker 1: little bit of a squeak noise, and somebody will look

379
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 1: at the brake pads and say, well, it's got pad life.

380
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 1: But there's a rust ridge around the end of the rotor.

381
00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:59,439
Speaker 1: And you can see that that rust is starting to

382
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:02,720
Speaker 1: pocket and gets scalloped, and that's beating up the pad

383
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:07,720
Speaker 1: and that's affecting pad life, right, that is correct, And

384
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:10,199
Speaker 1: and then they've got a vehicle that doesn't stop as

385
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:13,240
Speaker 1: efficiently or worse. How many times, Bob, have you seen

386
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:15,359
Speaker 1: where the brake rotor has some rust on the face

387
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:19,080
Speaker 1: and now instead of having that two inch wide swath

388
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:23,280
Speaker 1: of brake pad area, they're now down to because the

389
00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:25,399
Speaker 1: rotor is rusted. There's a there's a term for that.

390
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:28,359
Speaker 1: Is it delamination? Is that the word I'm thinking of

391
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 1: delamination is when your brake pad comes off of the

392
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:37,480
Speaker 1: backing plate. When when you are dealing with the corrosion

393
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:41,200
Speaker 1: on your rotor, basically what you're doing is you're creating

394
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 1: a file. The iron oxide on your rotor is much

395
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:49,879
Speaker 1: harder than the brake pad material, and you're prematurely wearing

396
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:53,680
Speaker 1: your brake pad away, and that will reduce your lining life,

397
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 1: it will reduce the safety of your vehicle, and it's

398
00:21:56,920 --> 00:22:00,880
Speaker 1: overall not a good condition. So Suffire said to say that,

399
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:03,000
Speaker 1: you know, the signs that it's time to replace the

400
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 1: brakes are what noise? Pulse? What am I missing? Noise

401
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:13,359
Speaker 1: and roughness are your two greatest concerns. Um If you're

402
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:17,800
Speaker 1: rotating your tires, If you inspect your brakes and you

403
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 1: find out that your brakes are not sliding freely, or

404
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 1: your brake pads are stuck in your bracket and they're

405
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:27,840
Speaker 1: not sliding freely, those are also signs that you need

406
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 1: some brake service. Do you know, over the last I

407
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:34,440
Speaker 1: have to say, five to seven years, it seems that

408
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:39,800
Speaker 1: they're putting more and more corrosion. I'm trying to think

409
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:41,400
Speaker 1: of the right word, you know, to melt the snow

410
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:44,240
Speaker 1: and the ice, more corrosive material on the roads, and

411
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:46,680
Speaker 1: it's affecting the way the cars. You know, the chassis

412
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:50,160
Speaker 1: are affected, and it's affecting breaks. Right. You know that

413
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 1: that spray gets on calipers, gets on rotors, and there's

414
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:57,760
Speaker 1: there's an anti corrosion movement in the break industry. And

415
00:22:57,800 --> 00:22:59,720
Speaker 1: one of the things I was reading about Goodyear and

416
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 1: that's have I really reached out to you guys today

417
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:04,520
Speaker 1: is the fact that you're taking some big steps to

418
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 1: fight corrosion with breaks. Right, You've got a new line

419
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:11,360
Speaker 1: of premium quality breaks. And what's gonna make your breaks

420
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:13,520
Speaker 1: different than the next guy, because I know there's a

421
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:18,679
Speaker 1: lot that's a great crush question. Ron At Goodyear breaks

422
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:24,840
Speaker 1: dot com, we offer bundles. Bundle includes a caliper, a rotor,

423
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 1: and brake pads and you can buy each of the

424
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:33,720
Speaker 1: individual components on their own, but our system our calipers

425
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 1: are remanufactured with a proprietary antiox max coding which protects

426
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:43,880
Speaker 1: the caliper assembly from corrosion, the same as it can

427
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:46,119
Speaker 1: be said with our rotors. Our rotors are C and

428
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:50,720
Speaker 1: C machine to o E specifications and once again we

429
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:56,119
Speaker 1: code them in our antiox Max coding. Is are zinc

430
00:23:56,240 --> 00:24:01,080
Speaker 1: rich coatings that reduce rusting and of you long life.

431
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:07,640
Speaker 1: Our brake pads are premium quality products. They are manufactured

432
00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:13,160
Speaker 1: in North America and we powder coat our brake pad

433
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:16,720
Speaker 1: assembly after we mold the friction material to the backing

434
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:20,879
Speaker 1: plate to protect the backing plate and more importantly, to

435
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 1: protect the interface between the friction material and the backing

436
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:28,960
Speaker 1: plate so corrosion doesn't get in there. At the same time,

437
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:34,440
Speaker 1: we use a vulcanized rubber insulating shim um. And it's

438
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:36,439
Speaker 1: very interesting to due to the fact that we chose

439
00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:40,720
Speaker 1: a vulcanized rubber because as everyone knows, Charles Goodyear invented

440
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:45,439
Speaker 1: the vulcanization process, right, yeah, and that and that and

441
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:48,240
Speaker 1: that's still you know, the technology carries technology forward in

442
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:50,880
Speaker 1: the sense Bob right, you guys are still good Year brakes.

443
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 1: They're still inventing new ways to make things better. Um

444
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:57,680
Speaker 1: is there? You know? You'll you'll. I look at brakes

445
00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:00,119
Speaker 1: and I always think about breaks. You know, probably the

446
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:03,200
Speaker 1: I see two three salesman a month in the shop

447
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:05,040
Speaker 1: and they're always telling me, hey, my brakes are great,

448
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 1: My brakes are you know the best? Because so for

449
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:12,160
Speaker 1: the consumer, how does the consumer know? You know, can

450
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:15,200
Speaker 1: you give us, I don't know, three pieces of advice

451
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:18,239
Speaker 1: something the folks can consider to get started on their

452
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:21,200
Speaker 1: next brake replacement project, whether they're doing it or whether

453
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:23,119
Speaker 1: they're going into a shop and say, hey, can you

454
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:25,160
Speaker 1: do this for me? You know, what are the things

455
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:27,199
Speaker 1: they should look for, because let's face it, there's that

456
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:31,520
Speaker 1: you know, the brake market, there's that white box break pad, okay,

457
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 1: and then there's that quality brake pad like a Good

458
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:37,480
Speaker 1: Year Break. How do the folks tell the difference? Well,

Speaker 1: want them all to be the same size hex nut

484
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:11,040
Speaker 1: and they all want to be so it's easier on

485
00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:14,680
Speaker 1: the mechanic doing the job. Right, That's correct. There's nothing

486
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:16,840

Speaker 1: a Good Year Break for taking the time today. Great interview.

504
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:17,440
Speaker 1: We I was actually in on their UM press conference

505
00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:19,640
Speaker 1: they had a couple of days ago. I was I'm

506
00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:22,280
Speaker 1: curious because for somebody to come out with breaks, you

507
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:25,720
Speaker 1: gotta understand there's there's so many break manufacturers out there,

508
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:28,240
Speaker 1: and there's so many places to pick and choose from,

509
00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:30,520
Speaker 1: and you know, not all of them are good. They're

510
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:33,680
Speaker 1: just selling a product. They're not selling a solution. And

511
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:36,639
Speaker 1: one of the things I saw in the press conference

512
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:39,920
Speaker 1: that Goodyear Break was they're selling a solution. They see

513
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:42,640
Speaker 1: the corrosive problem that breaks are having. They're seeing the

514
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:46,520
Speaker 1: issue and they're doing something to resolve it. Because you know,

515
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:48,800
Speaker 1: if you're up in Maine and you're you're you're driving

516
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:51,480
Speaker 1: your car year round or in other states that have

517
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:54,680
Speaker 1: you know, so so much corrosion issues, and you don't

518
00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:57,160
Speaker 1: have to have snow to have the problem, but you

519
00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:59,520
Speaker 1: get it. They're they're not just selling breaks. They're trying

520
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:02,960
Speaker 1: to sell breaks better or better breaks, as it were.

521
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:05,000
Speaker 1: And that's what I got out of them at their

522
00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:07,360
Speaker 1: press conference, and that's what I really was impressed by.

523
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 1: And that's, you know, the one of the reasons we

524
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:11,080
Speaker 1: had Bob on the show today. Um, he's all right,

525
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:13,240
Speaker 1: and he's a really you know, if you're a car person,

526
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:15,640
Speaker 1: he's a really great guy to sit and talk to, because, boy,

527
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 1: you can pick his brain. There's a lot of stuff

528
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:20,200
Speaker 1: in the attic with that guy, and just a pleasure.

529
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:23,760
Speaker 1: So we're gonna have him back once again. I wonder,

530
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:27,200
Speaker 1: you know, how do I approach this topic. It's it's

531
00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:29,200
Speaker 1: something Tom brought up to me during the week and

532
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:32,000
Speaker 1: he put a picture up on Facebook about unearthed my

533
00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:34,080
Speaker 1: first car, and you saw the Fred flint Stone wib

534
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:36,760
Speaker 1: bile up there, and I guess I should tell the

535
00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:45,760
Speaker 1: story this way. I remember in nineteen seventy two, my

536
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:52,080
Speaker 1: best buddy and car fixer, right Russell Um was gonna

537
00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:53,840
Speaker 1: go to trade school. He was gonna go to Lincoln Tech,

538
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 1: the mechanical school here in New Jersey, and he didn't

539
00:29:57,160 --> 00:30:00,720
Speaker 1: have a car, and his dad helped him by a

540
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:04,960
Speaker 1: Volkswagen A seventy two. Must have been seventy three when

541
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:07,720
Speaker 1: we did this, Yes, seventy three, seventy four, I take

542
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:10,200
Speaker 1: that back, but it was a seventy two super Beetle

543
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:12,600
Speaker 1: because it was two years old. It was a seventy

544
00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:15,720
Speaker 1: two Volkswagen super Beetle, as I recall, and I could

545
00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:19,680
Speaker 1: be off a year, and I remember Mr and Russell's father.

546
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:23,920
Speaker 1: I remember Mr Kogi saying, um, you know, no modifications, Russell,

547
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:26,560
Speaker 1: no changes, because Russell I had a way of you know,

548
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:28,720
Speaker 1: anything anybody gave us. We had to modify it to

549
00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:31,360
Speaker 1: make it go faster, look better, chrome wheels, something right,

550
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:34,400
Speaker 1: We had to change something about the car. Don't worry, dad,

551
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:37,000
Speaker 1: it'll be bone stock. I'll get back and forth to college. Well,

552
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:39,240
Speaker 1: about two weeks later the exhaust system came off, About

553
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:41,640
Speaker 1: three weeks later, the stereo went in. About four weeks

554
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:44,920
Speaker 1: later the carburetor was changed. And I mean just we

555
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:49,360
Speaker 1: were always tinkering. And that was Russell's first real car.

556
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:52,320
Speaker 1: And when Russell got rid of that car. By the

557
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:55,720
Speaker 1: time he sold that car six years later, it had

558
00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:59,320
Speaker 1: been lowered chopped. I mean we actually cut the roof

559
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:01,400
Speaker 1: off the car until three inches of steel out of it.

560
00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:03,800
Speaker 1: We actually chopped the Volkswagen Beetle. It was the coolest

561
00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:05,720
Speaker 1: thing in the world. And you could only do it

562
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:07,880
Speaker 1: to the first Year's super Beetle because the first Year's

563
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:10,440
Speaker 1: super Beetle was the only year super Beetle that had

564
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 1: a flat windshield. So it was easy enough to get

565
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:15,080
Speaker 1: a flat windshield made for a couple of you know,

566
00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:17,440
Speaker 1: high school college kids on a budget. We could just

567
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:18,960
Speaker 1: take it to a glass shop and say, cut a

568
00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:21,160
Speaker 1: piece of glass this big. We made a cardboard template

569
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:23,000
Speaker 1: and then we set it on. Now I remember that

570
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:27,360
Speaker 1: and the experiences of that first car, right and and

571
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:31,280
Speaker 1: eventually the bug kind of went its way. And you know,

572
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:35,280
Speaker 1: I remembered the first car scenario because Russell sent me

573
00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:40,400
Speaker 1: a text this morning. He's now in North Carolina, and um,

574
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:43,720
Speaker 1: you know it's no secret I've I found a seventy

575
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:46,720
Speaker 1: two Chevy Monte Carlo, which is the same car I

576
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:48,800
Speaker 1: commuted at the college in and put almost four hundred

577
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:51,760
Speaker 1: thousand miles on. And you know, you go back to

578
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:53,800
Speaker 1: your roots, right, You always go back to what you had,

579
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:57,080
Speaker 1: and you just there's just that that emotional connection to

580
00:31:57,160 --> 00:31:59,960
Speaker 1: that time period in your life growing up. And Russell

581
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:02,880
Speaker 1: sends me a text this morning. He goes, oh, it's back,

582
00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:07,080
Speaker 1: and it's a it's a seventy two three Volkswagen Super

583
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:09,560
Speaker 1: Beetle on a trailer. And I can only imagine what

584
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:12,120
Speaker 1: that car is gonna look like in two weeks. As

585
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:14,800
Speaker 1: he goes through the motions again, and I guess the

586
00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:18,040
Speaker 1: point becomes that thank God I lived when I lived,

587
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:20,840
Speaker 1: and I had the cars that I had, because I

588
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:25,720
Speaker 1: know that five or thirty years from now, nobody's gonna say, man,

589
00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:29,080
Speaker 1: I had this really cool two thousand eighteen Honda Accord,

590
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:31,280
Speaker 1: and I went to college and they're gonna think, hey,

591
00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 1: I got me back and forth, but nobody's gonna chop

592
00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 1: and channel it and make it look really cool and

593
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:38,200
Speaker 1: blessed with the streets of New York at three o'clock

594
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:40,040
Speaker 1: in the morning, which is a story for another time.
