I was thinking 38 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:52,639 Speaker 1: this week about some of the differences in order repair 39 00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:55,840 Speaker 1: and how it varies by region across the country, and 40 00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,360 Speaker 1: it seems that as dissimilar as it is and as 41 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:02,040 Speaker 1: similar as it is, it's it's all bound by one 42 00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:04,280 Speaker 1: common thing and that's technology. And I was gonna give 43 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:07,240 Speaker 1: an opening conversation about it, and then lo and behold, 44 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,400 Speaker 1: my executive producer called in from the road, and I 45 00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:13,280 Speaker 1: think he's gonna help prove the point about how technology 46 00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:16,160 Speaker 1: doesn't seem to change all across the country fast. Harry, 47 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:19,680 Speaker 1: Are you there, sir, I'm here, Ron. How are you today? 48 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:22,760 Speaker 1: How are the listeners? Everybody seems good? How's things down there? 49 00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:27,200 Speaker 1: Kentucky way, Kentucky is good. I'm I'm here with the 50 00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:28,720 Speaker 1: love of my life. As you know, I took a 51 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:32,080 Speaker 1: little road trip to see her. And uh, we're in Kentucky. Yeah, 52 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:34,639 Speaker 1: And uh, what's your first impression? You're a Jersey boy 53 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 1: born in Brett, so what's your what's your impression of Kentucky? 54 00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:40,000 Speaker 1: I have to be honest with you. On the people 55 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,160 Speaker 1: are nicer than Jersey. You know, you bump into someone 56 00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 1: in the supermarket by accident there, say they say, sorry, dear, 57 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:47,640 Speaker 1: sorry sir. New Jersey are like, you know, get out 58 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,760 Speaker 1: of the way. Well that's that's that's the Jersey thing. 59 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:54,000 Speaker 1: The only problem with down there versus versus Jersey is 60 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:56,480 Speaker 1: when you're down there, you can't tell. You can't tell 61 00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 1: when somebody's angry with you because they kind of suppressed that. 62 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 1: So up here, at least on the people here, the 63 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:07,520 Speaker 1: people that live in this state in nearby Ohio are 64 00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 1: are They're just wonderful. It's a it's like a whole 65 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 1: different I'll be everybody. I guess the best way to 66 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:19,440 Speaker 1: say is everybody's kind. You're not You're not coming home. Huh. 67 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:21,720 Speaker 1: I don't want to to be honest with you. But 68 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,040 Speaker 1: I'll be leaving here Monday and i'll be back at 69 00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:27,120 Speaker 1: the show Saturday. Oh goody, we're all excited. So listen, 70 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,040 Speaker 1: what is it you wanted to make a comment. You 71 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,560 Speaker 1: were You're on your road trip out and uh you 72 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 1: ran into something. Yeah, I was driving through. I drove 73 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 1: from Jersey to Kentucky, so I happened to uh, you know, 74 00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:41,960 Speaker 1: I did like two six hour segments. So I'm in 75 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 1: the car last Friday or Saturday morning. H Saturday morning, 76 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 1: and I going through Cleveland, and I hear a two 77 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 1: man uh car show. Cool, And I said, well, I'm 78 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 1: gonna you know, I'm scanning the radio for stations, and 79 00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:57,280 Speaker 1: they happen to be coming on the ice, so I'm 80 00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,680 Speaker 1: gonna listen to them. So I'm saying, I said, this 81 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 1: will be good to get another perspective on what we 82 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:05,160 Speaker 1: go through, you know, with the shop in New jersey 83 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:08,160 Speaker 1: and stuff. So a young lady calls up and she goes, 84 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:12,040 Speaker 1: I have a question for you guys. Uh, And they said, okay, 85 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 1: what happened? So the girl says, well, I wanted to 86 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:18,040 Speaker 1: change the oil on my two thousand eleven Toyota two 87 00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 1: thousand twelve Toyota Highlanders. So I got up my manual 88 00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:24,040 Speaker 1: and it had all the pictures in and everything, and 89 00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:28,400 Speaker 1: and what happened was after I was done, the transmission 90 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:31,120 Speaker 1: wouldn't shift right. So I was wondering how that could be. 91 00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 1: So I took it down to my local service station. 92 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,080 Speaker 1: I showed him exactly what they did, and they told 93 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 1: me that I had drained the transmission and put oil 94 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:40,360 Speaker 1: on the transmission instead of draining the oil and the 95 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:44,599 Speaker 1: engine and putting it into the engine. So they they 96 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,599 Speaker 1: drained and flushed the transmission three times, but it still 97 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:51,720 Speaker 1: sliced between first and second. So I'm listening to this 98 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,440 Speaker 1: and the guy said, you know, one of the gentlemen said, well, 99 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:56,600 Speaker 1: you know, you can continue to flush it. Maybe we'll 100 00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 1: get better. The other guy says, well, the transmission is toast. 101 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:01,240 Speaker 1: He goes. He goes, well, how much oil did you 102 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:03,160 Speaker 1: put in the trends. She goes, well, as much as 103 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:06,880 Speaker 1: I took out three you know, three courts, And he goes, 104 00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 1: you put three courts oil in the transmission? She she goes, yes, 105 00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 1: and here's the key line, and this is what I 106 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:14,599 Speaker 1: want to say, and just show you things are not 107 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,800 Speaker 1: different than to show you how specialized everything is. Herd 108 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,800 Speaker 1: line to them was when he said, why did you, 109 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:25,560 Speaker 1: uh put oil on the transmission? She replies, well, I'm 110 00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:29,279 Speaker 1: a medical student in my third year learning how to 111 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:34,040 Speaker 1: operate on a person. So she said, I figured how 112 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,320 Speaker 1: hard could it be to change the oil in the 113 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,040 Speaker 1: car compared to what I do? And I thought that 114 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 1: was the best line I had ever heard. And like 115 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:46,720 Speaker 1: what you say, everything is complicated. Everything is Take it 116 00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:50,040 Speaker 1: to a qualified person. Everything is complicated. We had someone 117 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 1: called the shop yesterday and we were talking. They're they're 118 00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:54,440 Speaker 1: new to town and uh, they're gonna be in this 119 00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:56,400 Speaker 1: week for an oil change, and we were talking about 120 00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 1: some of the issues they've been having, and I pointed 121 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 1: out the problem is that consumers just see still see 122 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:06,320 Speaker 1: the car the same to a large degree, turn the key, 123 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:10,400 Speaker 1: it runs, drive go. What's under the hood now is 124 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:14,360 Speaker 1: so radically different. You know, my wife's two thousand five 125 00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:20,800 Speaker 1: Malibu is so radically different than than than the ten. 126 00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 1: The technology is just light years apart. Every year it 127 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:28,760 Speaker 1: seems to multiply itself out exponentially to the point that 128 00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:33,320 Speaker 1: what you're working on it's it's not your father's oldmobile. 129 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 1: Not to sound cliche, but it's it's and it's gotten 130 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:39,520 Speaker 1: to that point. You know, I understand, I understand the 131 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:41,440 Speaker 1: young lady was a medical student, and I get how 132 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:43,720 Speaker 1: smart she is. And listen, you know what I came 133 00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:46,159 Speaker 1: around about doctors. Doctors have it tough. I mean, that's 134 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:48,720 Speaker 1: life and death. Um, auto repairs life and death too. 135 00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:50,719 Speaker 1: You do something wrong, that's a different conversation. But my 136 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,680 Speaker 1: point is, you know what, I don't think there's much 137 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:56,960 Speaker 1: that consumers can do on some of the newer cars 138 00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,040 Speaker 1: right now until they get some schooling on her, to 139 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:04,920 Speaker 1: get some education. And and here here's a girl with 140 00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,520 Speaker 1: pictures right in front of her of where to drain 141 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:10,560 Speaker 1: the engine oil, and she drains the transmission because it's 142 00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:13,960 Speaker 1: hard to see. You know, people don't realize. I think, listen, 143 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:15,960 Speaker 1: you once told me, and then I'm gonna go. You 144 00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,640 Speaker 1: once told me that if I could afford it. I 145 00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:20,800 Speaker 1: should let everybody work on their own car and let 146 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:22,720 Speaker 1: them bring it into the shop and put up in 147 00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:25,000 Speaker 1: the air. I never forgot this. This is twenty years 148 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,480 Speaker 1: ago you said this. I should make some space, let 149 00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:29,520 Speaker 1: people come into the shop work on their own car. 150 00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:31,680 Speaker 1: And after they try to do that, they never want 151 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:34,080 Speaker 1: to do it again because of what they have to 152 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:39,000 Speaker 1: go through, and and and to a large right, you know, 153 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 1: to a large degree, that's true. You know, we now 154 00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:45,520 Speaker 1: have issues where we're seeing technicians. Listen, the repair of 155 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:48,520 Speaker 1: the week, the second hour this week is all about 156 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:52,280 Speaker 1: an oxygen censor that was replaced three times by a 157 00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:54,840 Speaker 1: shop looking for the same result. You know, the definition 158 00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:59,080 Speaker 1: of insanity. And and the technology is just everything is 159 00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:02,160 Speaker 1: so involved and connected to one another. But listen, anyway, 160 00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:03,880 Speaker 1: let me go, let me get some calls and have 161 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 1: a safe trip home with the court to seeing you 162 00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 1: here next week. ALRIGHTA, all right, I'll talk to you then. 163 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:11,640 Speaker 1: All right, you take good care. Hey, um, you know, 164 00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:15,120 Speaker 1: the technology is just just tough, just really tough. Let's 165 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:17,200 Speaker 1: real quick. Let's go over to Ruth Livingston, New Jersey. 166 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:19,800 Speaker 1: Some questions about a miles to three?

I pulled them my 171 00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:41,360 Speaker 1: driveway and went to shut off the car. It wouldn't 172 00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:45,559 Speaker 1: shut off, but it was making a banging noise coming 173 00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:49,040 Speaker 1: from under the hood for about ten minutes and then 174 00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:54,360 Speaker 1: it stopped. So you turned that and it's fine. I 175 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:57,920 Speaker 1: don't know what happened. You turned the key off that 176 00:08:58,000 --> 00:08:59,560 Speaker 1: you had the key out in your hand and the 177 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:03,680 Speaker 1: engine kept running. Yes, I have the key out in 178 00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:07,719 Speaker 1: my hand. The engine kept running. I couldn't stop it, 179 00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:11,520 Speaker 1: and the car was rocking. It was coming from under 180 00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:14,640 Speaker 1: the hood. You know. Back in the old days of 181 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,840 Speaker 1: carburetors in the eighties, we would see this kind of 182 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:19,959 Speaker 1: a problem and it was run on or dieseling we 183 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:22,880 Speaker 1: sometimes called it. It was the result of poor gasoline. 184 00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:27,000 Speaker 1: Do you know what brand of fuel you're using? So no, go. 185 00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:31,600 Speaker 1: I got to the same station all the time consistently. Yes, 186 00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:34,480 Speaker 1: I fill it up all the time. My one thought 187 00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:38,480 Speaker 1: would be to try switching brands and see if that 188 00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:43,720 Speaker 1: makes a difference, and also consider maybe having your mechanic 189 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:46,840 Speaker 1: pull a fuel sample. There might be contamination in the 190 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:49,600 Speaker 1: tank causing that particular problem, but it just strikes me. 191 00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:52,719 Speaker 1: You know, I'm looking for possibly water or something that's 192 00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:55,760 Speaker 1: going to alter the characteristics of the fuel. But I'm 193 00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:58,160 Speaker 1: I'm thinking because you know, this is not a common 194 00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:01,360 Speaker 1: complaint on a newer vehicle. This is a computer controlled car. 195 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:03,880 Speaker 1: When it's off, it's off, the throttle plates closed. There 196 00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:06,439 Speaker 1: aren't any There aren't any real known issues here. I 197 00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:09,240 Speaker 1: would just number one, go right to fuel. Does it happen, Well, 198 00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:12,440 Speaker 1: it only happened once you said, right, Ruth, this is 199 00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:16,199 Speaker 1: the second time that happened, and then once it stopped, 200 00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:19,880 Speaker 1: it was no more problem. Could it be something in 201 00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:23,520 Speaker 1: the car that's heating up? Yeah, well, well, in the 202 00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:25,240 Speaker 1: old you know, back when it used to happen on 203 00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:28,880 Speaker 1: carbureted vehicles, it would be hot spots in the cylinders, 204 00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:31,480 Speaker 1: the inside of the engine would be hot, and it 205 00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:34,560 Speaker 1: would ignite the fuel on its own. The volatility of 206 00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:38,079 Speaker 1: the fuel um and the way the fuel was manufactured, 207 00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:40,840 Speaker 1: and it's changed a lot in twenty five years that 208 00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,640 Speaker 1: it would self ignite and detonate and diesel and it 209 00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:46,560 Speaker 1: would it was called run On. There were television ads 210 00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:48,240 Speaker 1: for it, engine run on, and you would hear the 211 00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:51,000 Speaker 1: engine trying to run. It was actually running backwards in 212 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:54,760 Speaker 1: some cases, and it didn't sound good. Just like you're describing. 213 00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:56,400 Speaker 1: It was a rough shake of the vehicle. It was 214 00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:59,240 Speaker 1: a shutter, and it was a lot of noise. You know, 215 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:04,559 Speaker 1: I off right, even though the cars were shut off, 216 00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:07,679 Speaker 1: its self ignites off hotspots inside the engine. How many 217 00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:12,440 Speaker 1: miles around the car roof? Yeah, okay, that was my 218 00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:18,400 Speaker 1: next thought. You know, right, local, there's probably issues with 219 00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:23,600 Speaker 1: carbon deposits inside this engine, and that might be self 220 00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:25,920 Speaker 1: igniting or and I hate to say it like that. 221 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:29,520 Speaker 1: It sounds like it's it's it's, but it's it sounds like. 222 00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:32,280 Speaker 1: I would do two things. Number one, I would change 223 00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:35,679 Speaker 1: brands of fuel temporarily give it a month, but in 224 00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:37,240 Speaker 1: a month, I don't know how far you're gonna go. 225 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:40,720 Speaker 1: I would talk to your mechanic ask him to consider 226 00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:44,520 Speaker 1: doing a carbon cleaning to remove any carbon deposits that 227 00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:47,040 Speaker 1: I'm sure built up in this eight thousand mile You're 228 00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:52,760 Speaker 1: going a thousand miles a year, you know, right, you 229 00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,199 Speaker 1: know you're going a hundred miles when you're going you're 230 00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:58,800 Speaker 1: not even going a hundred miles a month. Uh, I would. 231 00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:02,280 Speaker 1: I would think about carbon deposits. Uh, think about the 232 00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:06,600 Speaker 1: fireplace chunks of uh. You know Ember's call glowing orange 233 00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:09,640 Speaker 1: igniting the fuel and or the quality of the fuel, 234 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,079 Speaker 1: and I would I would do a carbon cleaning. I 235 00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:14,480 Speaker 1: would change brands of fuel and see what that does 236 00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:16,320 Speaker 1: for you and give us a call back if it continues. 237 00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:19,600 Speaker 1: Eight five zero nine nine zero zero. Run an ending 238 00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:21,560 Speaker 1: of the car doctor back to help you right after 239 00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:48,160 Speaker 1: this welcome back?

Unfortunately, I think your 248 00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:19,000 Speaker 1: time and my time is coming to an end. I 249 00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:20,599 Speaker 1: don't think it's going to happen right away, but I 250 00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:22,439 Speaker 1: would say eight to ten years from now I think 251 00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:26,560 Speaker 1: the automotive world is going to look very very different, right. Yeah, 252 00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:29,520 Speaker 1: I start too as well, because I keep on renting 253 00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:37,920 Speaker 1: a car. It's crazy. And I turned around the other 254 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:42,719 Speaker 1: day and said, just like you had said last week, 255 00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:47,559 Speaker 1: the cause they're beginning to look alike and I can't 256 00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:53,880 Speaker 1: do it anymore physically and with the bu I'd like 257 00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:57,440 Speaker 1: to keep it alive because it still has a lot 258 00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:03,760 Speaker 1: of good time left. I mean kindy thousand miles. But 259 00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:09,600 Speaker 1: it's a as it was described to me, the catalytic 260 00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:13,440 Speaker 1: converter has a slight hole in it. It's about a 261 00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:19,080 Speaker 1: size of a silver doll or a quarter is it? 262 00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:20,960 Speaker 1: The round plug fell at the bottom of the cat 263 00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:26,160 Speaker 1: don't know yet. I haven't had it up on the lift. 264 00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:33,440 Speaker 1: So the mechanic and my muffle shop that I always 265 00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:38,600 Speaker 1: worked with and I trust them dearly throughout the years, 266 00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:42,520 Speaker 1: many years. Ah, he said he can do something about it. 267 00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:47,000 Speaker 1: And my thought is can it? Is it worth putting 268 00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:52,200 Speaker 1: in a brand new or could just a slight patch 269 00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:57,080 Speaker 1: which I feel that they could put some sheet metal 270 00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:00,680 Speaker 1: well that well, the problem is to l to a 271 00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:04,800 Speaker 1: twenty two year old piece of exhaust system, even though 272 00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:08,840 Speaker 1: it's stainless, it's it's still gonna have surface corrosion on it. 273 00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:15,440 Speaker 1: So that's the that's the problem. Yea. So the ability, 274 00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:19,040 Speaker 1: the ability to seal that is going to be difficult. 275 00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:22,560 Speaker 1: You know, a replacement cat is gonna be a couple 276 00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:24,200 Speaker 1: of hundred dollars. You're not gonna put in a week 277 00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:27,080 Speaker 1: cat on that. You're gonna put an aftermarket cat on it. Uh, 278 00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:30,000 Speaker 1: you know it's not it's not gonna be killer money. 279 00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:32,520 Speaker 1: But what what you've got to look at is in 280 00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:35,960 Speaker 1: terms of doing it right. Uh. The other problem is 281 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:37,680 Speaker 1: going to be what are the rest of the exhaust 282 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:40,600 Speaker 1: flanges like? Because the car is so old or older, 283 00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:44,920 Speaker 1: exhaust flanges, bolts, things like that are gonna be rusted 284 00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:46,680 Speaker 1: and they're gonna be an issue. So you've got to 285 00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:49,480 Speaker 1: look at the whole system. I think I would tell 286 00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:51,680 Speaker 1: you if we were standing in the shop, I would 287 00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:53,920 Speaker 1: tell you that we've got to consider, you know, repairing 288 00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:56,360 Speaker 1: it with a new piece. But then what's the rest 289 00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:58,400 Speaker 1: of the system look like? And how is that going 290 00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:01,280 Speaker 1: to affect? Um, how's that going to affect how we 291 00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:04,800 Speaker 1: go about it exactly? You know, I'm right on the 292 00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:10,760 Speaker 1: same page and same church and yeah, yeah, I'm just yeah, no, 293 00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:14,200 Speaker 1: I got I get you, Um, I get you. You know. Unfortunately, 294 00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:16,840 Speaker 1: and this is this is the other factor. And I 295 00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:19,400 Speaker 1: said this years ago, and I'm I'm finding that it's 296 00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:25,040 Speaker 1: just truer more true. Every day cars are cars are 297 00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:28,960 Speaker 1: just it's it's a lifestyle and they're an expense. And 298 00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:33,360 Speaker 1: you know, after it's three years old, I still read 299 00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:35,360 Speaker 1: reports where if you average it out, it's a hundred 300 00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:38,400 Speaker 1: fifty dollars a month to maintain a car. It's gone 301 00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:40,560 Speaker 1: up a little bit in the last couple of years, 302 00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:44,040 Speaker 1: depending upon the car, but it's it's also getting very 303 00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:47,320 Speaker 1: expensive to repair the newer cars, to the point that 304 00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:52,040 Speaker 1: region by region in the country, you know, you'll see 305 00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:55,880 Speaker 1: in the Midwest they're driving older vehicles, but here in 306 00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:59,520 Speaker 1: the New York Tri state area, it's the car is 307 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:02,960 Speaker 1: five years old and out the door it goes. People 308 00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:05,159 Speaker 1: don't hang onto cars. You with a ninety four Buick, 309 00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:11,400 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, that's that's unheard of. Uh you know, well, yeah, listen. 310 00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:13,639 Speaker 1: I had someone the other day say to me it 311 00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:16,399 Speaker 1: was a two thousand two Honda Odyssey with a hundred 312 00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:19,840 Speaker 1: fourteen thousand easy miles on it. That car has easily 313 00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:22,920 Speaker 1: got another sixty seventy thousand miles in it. It could 314 00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:26,000 Speaker 1: probably run to two. The car needs a timing belt 315 00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:28,880 Speaker 1: and breaks. Do you think do you think I should 316 00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:33,520 Speaker 1: get rid of the car? You know, sometimes sticker shock 317 00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:35,280 Speaker 1: is a good term because you have to let them 318 00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:36,920 Speaker 1: go out and look at the price of that new 319 00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:40,399 Speaker 1: car and consider it. If the car is structurally sound, 320 00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:43,480 Speaker 1: if if there's you know, a minimal amount of rust, 321 00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:46,160 Speaker 1: if any, if the engine is strong, if you've done 322 00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:49,399 Speaker 1: the maintenance, if you've done the care, it's still cheaper 323 00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:53,879 Speaker 1: to keep them. To a large degree. The problems that 324 00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:58,159 Speaker 1: I see come up are still lack of maintenance. Somebody 325 00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:03,880 Speaker 1: repaired it and didn't repair it properly, and or there 326 00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:07,520 Speaker 1: are rust issues somewhere along the way, body damage, water leaks, 327 00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:11,080 Speaker 1: things like that. So we're about to go through a 328 00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:14,160 Speaker 1: revolution in this country or an evolution. I'm not sure 329 00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:17,760 Speaker 1: which way to look at it. Yeah, you know, it's 330 00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:20,240 Speaker 1: it's really gonna change the way we're looking at cars. 331 00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:25,400 Speaker 1: We just went through the industry just went through December January, February, March, 332 00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:28,920 Speaker 1: a time frame of change and the way the business 333 00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:33,119 Speaker 1: transition that I thought was gonna take six to eight 334 00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:35,880 Speaker 1: years to happen. It happened within a four month spin 335 00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:40,720 Speaker 1: and it's happening just like that, Bruce.

And um, let me let 364 00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:18,960 Speaker 1: me move ahead. You know what, Let's do the T 365 00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:22,080 Speaker 1: shirt giveaway this segment and we'll just flip things around 366 00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:24,600 Speaker 1: real quick. This comes to us from Mark Pollard. He's 367 00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:26,280 Speaker 1: liked us out on Facebook. He went out to the 368 00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:29,200 Speaker 1: Car Doctor Facebook page and he liked us and he 369 00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:31,320 Speaker 1: asked the question, Hey, Ron, I've got a two thousand 370 00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:34,440 Speaker 1: four Volvo x C ninety with a T six auto 371 00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:37,480 Speaker 1: that started smoking intermittently. My son in look called me 372 00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:39,639 Speaker 1: asking why it was doing so. When I first started, 373 00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:41,920 Speaker 1: there's a light amount of smoke that passed as quickly 374 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:43,760 Speaker 1: as if there's a little oil and the cylinders when 375 00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:46,760 Speaker 1: first starting, but clears up However, on long trips. After 376 00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:49,040 Speaker 1: three to five hours on a road trip, it will 377 00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:52,040 Speaker 1: smoke profusely. Is there a seal in the turbo that 378 00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:54,600 Speaker 1: starts to allow oil to pass through when under long 379 00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:58,040 Speaker 1: term stress? Is there a more complex problem or is 380 00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:00,399 Speaker 1: there a simple one. I'll tell you what arcum. By 381 00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:02,120 Speaker 1: the way, you're gonna be getting a car Doctor T shirt. 382 00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:04,080 Speaker 1: We need you to reply to us Ron at Car 383 00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:06,400 Speaker 1: Doctor show dot com so we can send you out. 384 00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:07,800 Speaker 1: If you give us your name and address, will send 385 00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:09,920 Speaker 1: you out a T shirt. Um, there's a couple of 386 00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,480 Speaker 1: things going on here. Number one, and this is a 387 00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:15,040 Speaker 1: real common problem with Volvos, but they have a crank 388 00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:18,520 Speaker 1: case ventilation system that everybody seems to forget about. At 389 00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:21,160 Speaker 1: least a little bit of crank case pressure will cause 390 00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:24,240 Speaker 1: issues like this. Um. It needs to be checked with well, 391 00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:27,440 Speaker 1: a very fancy vacuum gage. It's called a phenomena. It 392 00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:30,040 Speaker 1: measures in inches of water, not inches of vacuum. It's 393 00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:35,040 Speaker 1: very very uh sensitive, And what somebody would need to 394 00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:37,600 Speaker 1: do is if it shows a higher than normal reading, 395 00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:40,639 Speaker 1: they would need to They would need to clean the 396 00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:43,600 Speaker 1: crank case vent which is part of the banjo bolt 397 00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:46,760 Speaker 1: assembly going up to the oil trap. So there is 398 00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:51,520 Speaker 1: a bulletin out there from Volvo technical bulletin double dash 399 00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:54,640 Speaker 1: Oh five, I'm sorry, and you may end up having 400 00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:58,480 Speaker 1: to remove the oil pan depending upon how badly clogged 401 00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:02,040 Speaker 1: up or restricted up thisicular engine is. So it can 402 00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:07,040 Speaker 1: be an issue. Um, could this be in the turbo charger? Yeah? Absolutely. 403 00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:09,920 Speaker 1: And you know a lot of the cases with the 404 00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:13,760 Speaker 1: Volvos was that the crank ventilation what we might normally 405 00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:17,159 Speaker 1: call PCV or positive crank case ventilation back in the 406 00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:20,480 Speaker 1: old days, isn't cleaned or maintained. And it makes the 407 00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:25,360 Speaker 1: argument for doing good oil changes or normal oil changes, 408 00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:30,040 Speaker 1: and also doing them using good quality oil. And that's 409 00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:32,520 Speaker 1: one of the reasons. You know, let's just bring it 410 00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:35,040 Speaker 1: right up to the table. Pens Oil. You start talking 411 00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:36,880 Speaker 1: about penns oil. If you go out the Pens Oil 412 00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:40,080 Speaker 1: Synthetics dot Com, you'll see one of the conversations they 413 00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:44,639 Speaker 1: have is how clean they're synthetics will help keep an 414 00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:47,480 Speaker 1: engine and the way they're rated. You know, you hear 415 00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:51,359 Speaker 1: me talk about pistons and keeping pistons clean and and 416 00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:53,920 Speaker 1: keeping the inside of the engine clean on an older 417 00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:56,200 Speaker 1: car like this, this is one of the advantages of 418 00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:59,720 Speaker 1: using a good quality synthetic and right now, according to 419 00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:04,879 Speaker 1: aut in statistics, Penn's oils a cleaner synthetic than mobile one, 420 00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:07,680 Speaker 1: which I know everybody loves and raves about so much, 421 00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:09,119 Speaker 1: but you know, I go by the numbers. I'm a 422 00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:13,560 Speaker 1: numbers guy. So keeping in mind that cleaning the crank 423 00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:16,520 Speaker 1: case vent possibly having to drop the pen and clean it. 424 00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:20,520 Speaker 1: They're taking a look for any other sludge issues around 425 00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:23,080 Speaker 1: the engine. This could be a crank case pressure problem 426 00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:26,560 Speaker 1: causing it to smoke like that, could also be a turbo, 427 00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:29,439 Speaker 1: could be a tired engine. You know it's it's got 428 00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:31,879 Speaker 1: a fair amount of miles on it. But my point 429 00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:34,119 Speaker 1: being that some of the simple things can be just 430 00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:37,040 Speaker 1: cleaning that vent valve and then going ahead and switching 431 00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:40,800 Speaker 1: to a different oil. Possibly using Pen's oil synthetic might 432 00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:43,879 Speaker 1: help clean this engine up and stop the problem from 433 00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:46,480 Speaker 1: happening or slow it down. If you're looking for information 434 00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:49,480 Speaker 1: about Penn's oil synthetics, get out the Penns Oil Synthetics 435 00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:52,280 Speaker 1: dot com, mark send me an email ronic card Doctor 436 00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:54,320 Speaker 1: Show dot com and I will be glad to send 437 00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:56,480 Speaker 1: you out a Car Doctor t shirt. Thanks for liking 438 00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:59,440 Speaker 1: our Facebook page and thanks for asking the question and 439 00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:01,680 Speaker 1: be a member Car Doctor Nation. Let's get over the phone. 440 00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:05,800 Speaker 1: Di's government. Talk to William in Cornelius, North Carolina Toyota 441 00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:07,800 Speaker 1: land cruiser. William, how can I help you run a 442 00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:11,120 Speaker 1: nay in the car doctor at your service? Hey, Uh, yeah, 443 00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:15,320 Speaker 1: I've got a ninety five land Cruiser and uh, usually 444 00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:17,560 Speaker 1: when it gets warmed up going down the road, the 445 00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:21,080 Speaker 1: sphenometer starts fluttering and going and uh up to mac 446 00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:26,239 Speaker 1: speed and then back down the transmission skips a little bit. Um. 447 00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:29,680 Speaker 1: What's sent into a transmission shop and they said the 448 00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:33,959 Speaker 1: transmission was fine. I put it in transmission sensor. Uh, 449 00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:37,399 Speaker 1: and that's that didn't help it. I bypassed the catalytic 450 00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:41,560 Speaker 1: converters and uh, the catalytics seem to be fine, so 451 00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:44,400 Speaker 1: it's not that problem. What well, what why why would 452 00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:47,200 Speaker 1: you bypass the catalytic converters for a spenometer as well? 453 00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:50,560 Speaker 1: I did a diagnostics on it and they said it 454 00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:53,520 Speaker 1: was a catalytic converter that was bad. So instead of 455 00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:55,119 Speaker 1: putting the money in a brand new cat I went 456 00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:56,879 Speaker 1: ahead and bypassed them to see if it was that. 457 00:24:57,119 --> 00:24:59,720 Speaker 1: And it's still did the same issue without the cats. 458 00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:03,720 Speaker 1: So I didn't taking the catalytics good, the spidometer is 459 00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:07,399 Speaker 1: not working. Well, now it works, it'll work fine. And 460 00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:09,760 Speaker 1: then when it warms up, you know, after fifteen or 461 00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:12,480 Speaker 1: twenty mile, that's when it happens. Oh, they're thinking the 462 00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:14,920 Speaker 1: cats are getting there, thinking the cats are getting too hot, 463 00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:20,479 Speaker 1: affecting spiedometer operation and right and starting to clog up. 464 00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:24,520 Speaker 1: And that's what's affecting it. So i've i've i've I've 465 00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:28,160 Speaker 1: never heard that one. That's that's kind of well, never didn't. 466 00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:30,880 Speaker 1: That's what the diagnostics and the Toyota dealership said. Also 467 00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:34,080 Speaker 1: that it was a catalytic converter. Okay, well I wasn't there, 468 00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:36,720 Speaker 1: but I gotta tell you that's a new one on me. Um. Look, 469 00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:38,080 Speaker 1: let me ask you this. If you hook up a 470 00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:42,960 Speaker 1: scan tool and bring up miles per hour, does it 471 00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:47,200 Speaker 1: read anything. I have not done that, Okay, simplest test 472 00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:50,520 Speaker 1: in the world. Okay, And I gotta tell you now, 473 00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:52,920 Speaker 1: I'm gonna pick on somebody. Somebody had a scan tool 474 00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:56,200 Speaker 1: on this pulled codes and and they didn't. It'll it'll 475 00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:59,800 Speaker 1: take me three minutes. I'll go to select you know, data. 476 00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:03,160 Speaker 1: We call them pits and I can select the miles 477 00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:04,879 Speaker 1: per hour pit, bring it up, take the car for 478 00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:07,560 Speaker 1: our road test. If it's working, then I know the 479 00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:10,840 Speaker 1: electronics side of this. The signal is reaching the E 480 00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:13,720 Speaker 1: C M. And I don't have any other problem there. 481 00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:15,840 Speaker 1: So now I'm gonna start to look at and consider 482 00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:20,359 Speaker 1: do you have a bad spiometer head? And and remember 483 00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:22,679 Speaker 1: this all right, And it's easy for me to sit 484 00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:24,520 Speaker 1: here and say this, but I do this every day, 485 00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:26,440 Speaker 1: so I stick my head in the noose every day. 486 00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:30,280 Speaker 1: My job is a technician. Forget being on radio. My 487 00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:32,800 Speaker 1: job is a technician. I gotta get to the middle 488 00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:35,359 Speaker 1: of your problem as fast as I can so I 489 00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:39,639 Speaker 1: know which direction to go. So you know, from that sense, 490 00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:42,640 Speaker 1: I would bring up a scan tool, bring up miles 491 00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:44,800 Speaker 1: per hour. If I'm reading twenty miles an hour and 492 00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:47,640 Speaker 1: I'm doing twenty miles an hour and the spiometers act 493 00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:51,680 Speaker 1: in wacky. The sensor is good, the catalytic converters aren't 494 00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:54,720 Speaker 1: at fault. I don't have any other issues. My problem 495 00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:58,920 Speaker 1: is then from the engine control module out because the 496 00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:03,200 Speaker 1: engine control modules direct effect on that spiometer and and 497 00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:06,800 Speaker 1: I possibly have a bad sperometer head. It's not common 498 00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:12,159 Speaker 1: but it is possible, all right, that's simple. Yeah. I 499 00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:14,200 Speaker 1: was thinking of something electrical, but I wasn't sure where 500 00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:17,960 Speaker 1: it was. Let's find out. Hey listen for that matter, okay, 501 00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:20,080 Speaker 1: and I I don't know if this is gonna be 502 00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:22,240 Speaker 1: but one of the other things I would look at 503 00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:27,040 Speaker 1: is does the cruise control work. So if the cruise 504 00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:30,320 Speaker 1: control works and it's steady, and the cruise control is 505 00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:33,200 Speaker 1: fed by the same sensor that feeds the spiometer, which 506 00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:38,240 Speaker 1: I believe it to, then it's not It's not the spiometer, 507 00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:41,200 Speaker 1: it's not the censor, it's not the catalytic converters, and 508 00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:43,720 Speaker 1: it's not the engine controller. My guess is it's on 509 00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:45,760 Speaker 1: the other side of the e c M. Either it's 510 00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:48,080 Speaker 1: wiring at the e c M, which I doubt, or 511 00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:50,760 Speaker 1: it's spiometer head, in which case you'll probably have to 512 00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:52,639 Speaker 1: pull the cluster out and have it sent out to 513 00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:56,800 Speaker 1: a speedo shop for calibration and testing. Well, I've already 514 00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:58,800 Speaker 1: done that. They pulled the cluster out and centered off 515 00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:01,560 Speaker 1: and they said it was normal. Interesting, then let's go 516 00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:03,520 Speaker 1: back and see it. Let's go back and see if 517 00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:07,280 Speaker 1: it reads with a scan tool, and what we say okay, 518 00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:09,879 Speaker 1: the scan tool. All right, all right, I'll try that 519 00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:11,520 Speaker 1: sounds good. Thank you. I'm here. If you need me, 520 00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:13,960 Speaker 1: give me a call. All right, William, take good care, 521 00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:16,880 Speaker 1: Ron and any of the card doctor eight five zero 522 00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:45,520 Speaker 1: nine zero zero. We're back right after this a little right, Hey, 523 00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:47,240 Speaker 1: welcome back. Why don't then of the car doctor here 524 00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:49,840 Speaker 1: at eight five five five zero zero for William in 525 00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:53,080 Speaker 1: North Carolina if he's still listening to additional thoughts. I 526 00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:55,320 Speaker 1: can't believe they said catalytic converter. I don't know where 527 00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:58,800 Speaker 1: that came from. Keep in mind that if you do 528 00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:02,720 Speaker 1: read miles per hour on the scan tool before you 529 00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:05,480 Speaker 1: jump and say, hey, it's got to be a bad speed. 530 00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:09,320 Speaker 1: Oh head, My next step would be also pull the 531 00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:12,800 Speaker 1: spiometer cluster out and look to see do you have 532 00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:16,200 Speaker 1: a signal that's just a square wave. It was typically 533 00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:21,040 Speaker 1: somewhere between nine and fourteen volts, just a square wave 534 00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:24,680 Speaker 1: signal at the spiometer head itself. If you've got a 535 00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:27,200 Speaker 1: square wave signal, then it's got to be the head. 536 00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:29,760 Speaker 1: If not, then you might have to run a new 537 00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:33,160 Speaker 1: wire between the head and the E C M, or 538 00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:35,320 Speaker 1: at the very least run a new wire from the 539 00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:36,560 Speaker 1: head to the e c M and from the e 540 00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:38,760 Speaker 1: c M down to the speed sensor. Does that eliminate 541 00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:40,880 Speaker 1: the problem? Even though it shouldn't be from the e 542 00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:43,840 Speaker 1: c M to the speed sensor because you've you would 543 00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:46,160 Speaker 1: at that point know that you've got good signal on 544 00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:49,160 Speaker 1: the scan tool. So just geez, just to take the 545 00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:52,760 Speaker 1: catalytic converters off. I can't imagine that the aggravation, but anyway, 546 00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:54,760 Speaker 1: just just the thought, William, if you're out there and 547 00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:57,360 Speaker 1: you're still listening Frank Conger's New York, how can I 548 00:29:57,400 --> 00:30:00,560 Speaker 1: help you? Sir? Welcome to the car doctor. How you doing, 549 00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:04,520 Speaker 1: my friend? How's it going? All right? Good? What's going on? Okay? 550 00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:06,680 Speaker 1: What I got was here a little thought of mine. 551 00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:09,920 Speaker 1: The people out there. It's like I'm involved your fimbing. 552 00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:12,680 Speaker 1: You know, when you change your clocks, you get change 553 00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:16,000 Speaker 1: the batteries, need smoke detectives. But I was talked to 554 00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:20,640 Speaker 1: years ago, definitely right, definitely um years ago though one 555 00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:23,520 Speaker 1: of my friends are talking to about air filters. You know, 556 00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:25,959 Speaker 1: you drive the car, you drive your car, you get 557 00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:27,560 Speaker 1: the earl change, you do it is you do that. 558 00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:30,200 Speaker 1: But if you don't change your answilps especially going into 559 00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:33,440 Speaker 1: the summertime because you got the A C going, it 560 00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:36,440 Speaker 1: clogged up and your your engine needs to breathe. Yep, 561 00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:40,760 Speaker 1: I agree with that absolutely, and you should do that 562 00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:43,080 Speaker 1: like on a normal basis. When you open that up, 563 00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:46,200 Speaker 1: it could be a little mouth, uh, the their or 564 00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:49,600 Speaker 1: something a little leaves and stuff, and that hurts the engine, 565 00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:54,520 Speaker 1: doesn't it. Air filters today or or are very often overlooked. 566 00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:57,920 Speaker 1: Now come away with the understanding that on newer cars, 567 00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:00,880 Speaker 1: things made in the last ten twelve years, because to me, 568 00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:05,240 Speaker 1: that's a newer vehicle. You know, typically air filters are done. 569 00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:08,640 Speaker 1: Air filter maintenance is done as part of scheduled maintenance 570 00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:12,600 Speaker 1: at the majors. Major major services on cars are thirty 571 00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:16,080 Speaker 1: sixty nine thousand miles, hundred and twenty thousand miles and 572 00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:20,360 Speaker 1: so on. But you know, if you're a forest ranger, 573 00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:24,280 Speaker 1: if you're in a dirty environment, if you're idling a lot, 574 00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:30,240 Speaker 1: if you're a security guard sitting right construction, it's it's 575 00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:32,960 Speaker 1: it's gonna need to be done sooner. One of the 576 00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:35,960 Speaker 1: one of the biggest problems that people don't realize is 577 00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:39,840 Speaker 1: now everybody is opting for cheap air filters. Oh, I 578 00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:41,400 Speaker 1: want to I want to save money, I'm gonna put 579 00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:44,560 Speaker 1: a cheaper air filter in my car. And the problem is, 580 00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:46,440 Speaker 1: you know, they think, well, it just gets dirty and 581 00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:50,040 Speaker 1: throw it out. The problem is can the filter adequately 582 00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:54,360 Speaker 1: protect not only the engine but the very expensive mass 583 00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:56,520 Speaker 1: airflow sensor that a lot of vehicles have on the 584 00:31:56,600 --> 00:32:00,520 Speaker 1: road today. So you know, when you pick an air filter, 585 00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:04,560 Speaker 1: you really need to pick something that is O E 586 00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:07,000 Speaker 1: level original. When I say oh, I mean original equipment 587 00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:11,360 Speaker 1: level as the manufacturer designed it for and to check 588 00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:14,440 Speaker 1: it on a regular basis. Absolutely. You know, in some 589 00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:16,960 Speaker 1: cases some people will need an air filter every ten 590 00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:19,160 Speaker 1: thousand miles. Some people will need an air filter every 591 00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:23,440 Speaker 1: forty miles. You know. But the bottom line, as you say, Frank, Um, 592 00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:27,160 Speaker 1: you know it, it really isn't often overlooked item. And 593 00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:29,440 Speaker 1: I'll tell you what for you um out there if 594 00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:31,600 Speaker 1: you get out to wis filters dot com. And I 595 00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:35,720 Speaker 1: say this because Wix makes some of the best filters 596 00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:38,240 Speaker 1: out there on the marketplace. But you can read in 597 00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:41,160 Speaker 1: wix filters dot com they they talk all about filter 598 00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:43,240 Speaker 1: design and how it comes to be in the value 599 00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:45,000 Speaker 1: of it. And keep in mind if you're looking for 600 00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:48,320 Speaker 1: any Wicks filters.

A couple of emails, Hey, Ron, I've 625 00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:17,479 Speaker 1: got eleven Toyota Rav four six cylinder. I need tires. 626 00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:19,000 Speaker 1: I don't care how many miles I get on them. 627 00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:21,640 Speaker 1: Which Brandon model tire do you recommend? I want to 628 00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:23,239 Speaker 1: know what you're putting on in the shop. I do 629 00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:25,640 Speaker 1: need tires that runs smooth. What do you like? I'm 630 00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:28,000 Speaker 1: looking for a softer rod. Also, how often do you 631 00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:32,520 Speaker 1: recommend changing the transmission fluid? Thanks Joe, Joe, Um answer 632 00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:36,280 Speaker 1: the second half of the question. First, changing transmission fluid 633 00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:39,160 Speaker 1: on an eleven Toyota Rav. If you talk to Toyota, 634 00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:41,600 Speaker 1: they tell you it's WUS fluid, which means it's good 635 00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:44,239 Speaker 1: forever or until the trans blows up, whichever comes first. 636 00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:47,320 Speaker 1: Me personally, real world and what I see the majority 637 00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:49,440 Speaker 1: of people in the Toyota dealers that are honest with me, 638 00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:52,120 Speaker 1: as I talked to the different manufacturers, talk to the 639 00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:55,200 Speaker 1: service writers. In the text, Um, they're changing trans fluid 640 00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:57,600 Speaker 1: at fifty sixty miles, and I agree with that. Sometimes 641 00:34:57,640 --> 00:34:59,880 Speaker 1: we're doing it a little sooner depending upon how it's 642 00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:02,719 Speaker 1: us and how dirty it is, and um, you know, 643 00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:05,840 Speaker 1: it's just just real world stuff. Everything, everything lives in 644 00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:09,080 Speaker 1: the real world. Unfortunately, manufacturers right service intervals like we 645 00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:12,439 Speaker 1: live in fantasy land, and that's not reality. Reality isn't 646 00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:15,120 Speaker 1: about selling cars that don't need maintenance. Reality is keeping 647 00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:19,040 Speaker 1: you safe, keeping the car reliable. So changing that particular fluid, 648 00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:21,560 Speaker 1: like a lot of fluids earlier than they recommend, is 649 00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:23,880 Speaker 1: the norm. As far as what tire to put on, 650 00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:27,880 Speaker 1: this Toyota Raff for General Ultimax RT forty RT forty 651 00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:30,840 Speaker 1: three is the best tire out there right now, in 652 00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:32,640 Speaker 1: my opinion. We're doing a lot of them in the shop, 653 00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:36,239 Speaker 1: and we just did three sets last week. We've got 654 00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:38,279 Speaker 1: a bunch of them coming in this week. We like 655 00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:41,560 Speaker 1: what we see. We like the real world tread indicators 656 00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:43,640 Speaker 1: that tell you when the tires need to be replaced. 657 00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:47,440 Speaker 1: We like the alignment indicators. We like the multiple sypes. 658 00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:52,520 Speaker 1: The sight is the area of the tire that washes 659 00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:55,560 Speaker 1: away water to keep the tire from hydro planning. We 660 00:35:55,719 --> 00:35:57,279 Speaker 1: like the way they do that. We also like the 661 00:35:57,360 --> 00:35:59,840 Speaker 1: fact that they give you multiple edge of the tire, 662 00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:03,480 Speaker 1: so it's got like multiple tread layers or multiple tread 663 00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:06,040 Speaker 1: edges to give more bite and more grip to the road. 664 00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:08,439 Speaker 1: You can read more about it out at the General 665 00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:12,000 Speaker 1: Tire website.
