1
00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:06,320
Speaker 1: Ron and Anian, you're working on something in the GM

2
00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:11,440
Speaker 1: service manual will say if applicant doesn't fit, peen a relief,

3
00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:14,920
Speaker 1: meaning make it then make a whole make it fit.

4
00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:19,040
Speaker 1: The Car Doctor is an evy practically where you are well,

5
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:21,800
Speaker 1: I'll tell you Quebec. Quebec of course leads. I think

6
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:24,759
Speaker 1: they leave the world and we have the cheapest electricity

7
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:29,040
Speaker 1: in the world because we have hydro electricity. Electric vehicles

8
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:33,320
Speaker 1: here are I think are distainable once they get the infrastructure.

9
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:36,400
Speaker 1: Welcome to the radio home of Ron and Anian the

10
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:40,920
Speaker 1: Car Doctor, since this is where car owners the world

11
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:45,479
Speaker 1: overturned to for their definitive opinion on automotive repair. If

12
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:48,239
Speaker 1: your mechanics giving you a busy signal, pick up the

13
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:51,880
Speaker 1: phone and call in. The garage doors are open, but

14
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 1: I am here to take your calls at eight five

15
00:00:54,160 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 1: five and now running. I'm happy to report that I

16
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 1: got to witness a birth or a rebirth this week,

17
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,320
Speaker 1: and you know, it kind of brought a tear in

18
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 1: my eye. It was. It was very uplifting. Danny his uh,

19
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 1: it's no, it's no mystery or no surprise. Danny, my

20
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 1: mechanic has a has an all original very original seventy

21
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 1: eight Z twenty eight Camaro yellow No T tops four

22
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 1: speed cars, one of sixteen hundred built. They built less

23
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 1: than sixteen hundred of these, and it gets rare as

24
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 1: you start to neck down the options that it has,

25
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 1: black interior and so on and so forth. And you know,

26
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:35,959
Speaker 1: he had an engine problem, and well it's not that

27
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 1: he had an engine problem. He just found out you

28
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 1: can't race a seventy eight twenty eight against the portion

29
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:42,479
Speaker 1: expect to come out on top. Well he actually did

30
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:45,319
Speaker 1: come out on top of you know, the engine didn't survive,

31
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 1: so we had to go through and do a second

32
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 1: engine and then a third engine. And um, he's been

33
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 1: learning the trials and tribulations of of working on a

34
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 1: hot rod and you know, working on your own car

35
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 1: and just trying to deal with the lack of parts

36
00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 1: and the lack of quality parts that are out there,

37
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 1: and um, you know, it took him this point this

38
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 1: long to get it back together. And it's together, and

39
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 1: it's just kind of exciting. You hear that bark in

40
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:09,520
Speaker 1: that bite, in that growl when it starts up, and uh,

41
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 1: you know, it just it took me back to a

42
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 1: time and a place when we were doing you know,

43
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,079
Speaker 1: we do one or two engines a week or a day.

44
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:19,960
Speaker 1: Even at one point that you know, it was so simple.

45
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 1: Then it was just you know, on bolt this on

46
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 1: bolt that lifted out and go. Not like today where

47
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 1: it's assembled. It seems sometimes just very very difficult to

48
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 1: work on. But the point becomes that it's it's refreshing, right,

49
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 1: it's refreshing to have a youngster that you know wants

50
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 1: to do these things and and get his hands dirty

51
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 1: and and and work on a car like that, and

52
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 1: it just, you know what, it shows where we came

53
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:45,919
Speaker 1: from and how smart we were when we were there,

54
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,639
Speaker 1: and how much smarter we're getting because we have to

55
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 1: put up with the technology. So uh yeah, for those

56
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 1: that want to progress report, Danny's Camaro is back on

57
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,360
Speaker 1: the road again, and uh it's it's moving up the

58
00:02:56,400 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 1: ladder towards completion. So that being said, let's uh let's

59
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 1: talk to Jerry. Return call from Washington State eight SI Bronco.

60
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 1: No start, Jerry, what's what status on this vehicle? Well,

61
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 1: I did everything you advised me to do last week.

62
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 1: Still no start, okay? Is this no spark? No fuel

63
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 1: injector pulse? It has sparked, it has fuel injection pulps.

64
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:29,079
Speaker 1: If you advised me to actually check the fuel pressure

65
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:32,800
Speaker 1: off the straighter valve, I did that. We have plus

66
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 1: thirty five pounds there in the map sensor and all

67
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 1: the vacuum lines that went from flexible lines to hard lines.

68
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 1: We ran a flexible colle down through there and make

69
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 1: sure there was nothing in any of them and actually

70
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 1: came to a box. Okay, so I'm still no start,

71
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 1: but I'm kind of setting up for this. Let's see

72
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 1: where we go. Okay, So what was cranking vacuum? Uh?

73
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 1: I don't know. Okay, I'm looking through my notes. Ron

74
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 1: as you advise me. I tried to do everything, he says, yeah, no, no, no,

75
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 1: but you know one of them was cranking vacuum. We

76
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 1: need to know if this engine is mechanically sound. When

77
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 1: you checked and when you check spark, Jerry, how did

78
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 1: you check it with the spark test? Okay, all right,

79
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 1: and you had it set. You had it set. The

80
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:39,039
Speaker 1: thirty thousand volts are higher correct? Yes, all right, So

81
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 1: we've got good spark. You've got injector pulse. If you

82
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 1: listen to the injectors with a stethoscope, you hear them

83
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:48,479
Speaker 1: click click click right, yes, all right, So on the

84
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 1: dashboard do you see what I'm trying to think? An

85
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 1: eighty six you didn't have a check engine light? Did

86
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:58,279
Speaker 1: you know we had to do the fights? You like

87
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:02,039
Speaker 1: you count way to space? Count right right and in

88
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 1: eight six if the If you've got spark and you've

89
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:09,840
Speaker 1: got injector pulse, chances are the PCM, the main engine computer,

90
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 1: is awake. When you turn the key to the on

91
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 1: position without cranking it, do you hear the fuel pump

92
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:18,600
Speaker 1: prime for three seconds? Yes? In fact, even the one

93
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,239
Speaker 1: in the back, because I went there with a stethoscope,

94
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:25,040
Speaker 1: at least a mechanical one or automotive one. I can

95
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 1: hear that run and the front one runs also. Okay,

96
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:30,839
Speaker 1: so you've got fuel pressure, you've got fuel, you've got

97
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 1: injector pulse, you've got spark. You're missing it sounds like

98
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 1: you're missing mechanical because you know what's you know what's good,

99
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:41,480
Speaker 1: so I can tell you what's bad. If it's got spark,

100
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 1: spark is spark. If it's got injector pulse, you know

101
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,280
Speaker 1: you're hearing the injector's pulse. Right, you checked fuel pressure

102
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:52,679
Speaker 1: right at right at the fuel rail up front. Yeah yeah, okay,

103
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 1: So now we're down to what's cranking vacuum. Cracking vacuum.

104
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,040
Speaker 1: Right when you turn it over, you should see two

105
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 1: to three inches of cranking vacuum at a minimum. You know,

106
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 1: I've got a feeling, as an educated guest from my

107
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 1: seat here, you've either got restricted exhaust or you've got

108
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 1: a jump time. The timing, Shane failed. Well, okay, and

109
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 1: I was I didn't mean to set you up, but

110
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 1: that's where I was going. And I've had the other

111
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,720
Speaker 1: hot rod guys in here, and I've been doing this

112
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 1: for sixty years, okay, and I'm not an expert, but

113
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:34,479
Speaker 1: hometok um timing changing gears it does. And I'm with you,

114
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 1: ron Uh. It has an extreme amount of miles on

115
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 1: a three hundred and some. I've put two hundred and

116
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:44,040
Speaker 1: fifty of that on there and was stupid enough not

117
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:46,599
Speaker 1: to change that a long time ago. Alright, So just

118
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 1: Ransom lot so do this, Jerry, take the distributor cap off,

119
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:53,839
Speaker 1: bring it around to number one, all right, you know,

120
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 1: on the on the crank, bring it around to number one,

121
00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,840
Speaker 1: and does number one line up with the balancer when

122
00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:02,719
Speaker 1: no umber one is underneath it's it's plug wire to fire.

123
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 1: Does the balancer hit top that center? If not, it

124
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 1: jumped time. Yes it does. But then I rotated it

125
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 1: backwards the engine a little bit to see if I

126
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 1: had slopped in there, and a bit a little bit,

127
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 1: probably more than it should. But Ron, I'm with you

128
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 1: on this one. I d got most of the front

129
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 1: end off of it. I'm down to the damper. I'm

130
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 1: go ahead and change those. I bought the pot from

131
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 1: one to be your sponsorits um and we'll check. I'll go.

132
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 1: I'll go where you said and where I agree. I

133
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 1: think we're in the same spot. Well, just just keep

134
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 1: in mind, though, if you don't know what cranking vacuum is,

135
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 1: you can still have restricted exhaust. You could have a

136
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 1: catalytic converter. That's that's failed and it's causing the exhaust

137
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 1: to back up. Now you know that? Being said A

138
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 1: three d thousand mile timing chain on an eighty six Bronco, Yeah,

139
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 1: I would. It's time for a timing chain regardless, so

140
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 1: you might as well change it. Uh, you know, I

141
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 1: think I'm past that. For the recommendations are like every

142
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 1: eighty thousand miles. I think that's person. I think that's

143
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 1: too soon. But where I am I'm too late, right,

144
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 1: it's a part enough. Now I'm going to continue with that.

145
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 1: I'll check those things. You said, Hey, I'm gonna let you.

146
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 1: I'll let you know this week with a quick call. Yeah, yeah,

147
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 1: you do that. You let us know what happens, Jerry.

148
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 1: You'll be well and keep us posted as far as

149
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:34,680
Speaker 1: what's going on here, you know, it's it's just it's listen,

150
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 1: it's again here. This is an example of tell me

151
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 1: what's good. I'll tell you what's bad. Jerry's got spark,

152
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 1: Jerry's got fuel pressure, he's got injector pulse. All the

153
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 1: basics are there. He's got a mechanical problem with some kind,

154
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 1: whether it's at the timing chain jump, whether he's got

155
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:53,440
Speaker 1: restricted exhausted, whether he's got both as a problem. You know,

156
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 1: there's something catastrophic that occurred here, because if this was

157
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,840
Speaker 1: just one cylinder, if it dropped the valve, it lost

158
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 1: compression on one cylinder, you know, something mechanically small, person,

159
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:06,960
Speaker 1: it would still run. This is a cataclysmic failure. This

160
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:10,079
Speaker 1: is something major. The timing chains off by more than

161
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 1: three teeth. The exhaust is so restricted it's all backed

162
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:15,440
Speaker 1: up as he goes to start it. So that's hence

163
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 1: my conversation about tell me what cranking vacuum is. But

164
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:20,960
Speaker 1: I guess Jerry's gonna replace parts before he finds that out.

165
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 1: But in any event, that's the story. Five five six

166
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:26,080
Speaker 1: zero nine zero zero run in any of the car Doctor.

167
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 1: We're coming back right after this. Don't go away for

168
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,600
Speaker 1: the best in car advice, give Ron a call eight

169
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 1: five five five six zero nine nine zero zero Now bactad, Hey,

170
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:47,599
Speaker 1: let's get out of chat in Wisconsin. Oh five f

171
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:49,720
Speaker 1: three fifty Chad. Welcome to the car Doctor, Sir, How

172
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:58,119
Speaker 1: can I help? So? I'm oh five A battery? Okay, okay, alternator.

173
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 1: We got passenger battery, driver bag right right, so alternator

174
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 1: on post the post, My passenger battery is reading thirteen

175
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 1: nine okay, driver battery post a post only reads twelve

176
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:18,680
Speaker 1: three twelve four. But if I go post two ground

177
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 1: on the engine, it's reading nine. Okay. We went back

178
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:25,680
Speaker 1: back up a second. When you say post the post,

179
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 1: you mean so the battery that's not showing a good

180
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 1: rate of charge, which was the driver's battery, the passenger battery,

181
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 1: driver battery. So you're going positive, You're you're going across

182
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,079
Speaker 1: a positive and negative with your vault meter. You're reading

183
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 1: what twelve three? Right? Have you voltage drop tested the

184
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 1: cables and connections to that battery. So cable the cable,

185
00:10:53,720 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 1: same fame, but cable, I'm a I'm a positive. And

186
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 1: then if I grounded to the engine is show because

187
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:10,080
Speaker 1: of the cable that comes across from the battery. Here's

188
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 1: here's what I want you to do. And and let

189
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:14,320
Speaker 1: me try and explain it this way. Are you familiar

190
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 1: with the the idea of voltage drop testing? Okay, if

191
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:22,839
Speaker 1: you voltage dropped the negative side while you're cranking it

192
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 1: all right, not while the engine is running. While you're

193
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 1: cranking using a d v o M a digital voult domemeter.

194
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 1: Set your digital voult domemeter. There's a couple of settings

195
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 1: in there. I'm gonna guess usually there is there's either

196
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 1: gonna be a min max hold feature which will show

197
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 1: you the maximum the minimum, or a designated hold button,

198
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 1: or there's going to be a peak button all right,

199
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 1: showing you the peak. It's it's really kind of interesting

200
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 1: because and it's timely right. We took a we actually

201
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 1: just came out of a digital VOULT home class with

202
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 1: with Automotive Training Group. The Great Chris Lewis was teaching

203
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 1: again this week and we were we were privy too.

204
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:07,720
Speaker 1: We saw the fact that you can look at a meter.

205
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 1: You know, they gave us a test, right the eyes

206
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:12,959
Speaker 1: lie read the meter, tell us what the maximum is

207
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 1: that you see? Everybody wrote it down. Now hit the

208
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 1: peak button, run the test. Tell us the maximum you

209
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:21,559
Speaker 1: saw we wrote it down. Everybody was wrong. So the

210
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:23,840
Speaker 1: meter is faster than the eye. So if you can

211
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:26,840
Speaker 1: find if your meter as a peak function, all right,

212
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 1: it will tell you what it actually saw as a

213
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:34,319
Speaker 1: peak or maximum voltage at that moment of testing. But

214
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 1: the idea here is how many vaults passed through the

215
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:40,439
Speaker 1: meter versus the cable because this sure sounds like a

216
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:44,920
Speaker 1: corroded cable, bad connection, bad cable end. Well, I guess

217
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 1: that's my question. So passenger battery has a negative to

218
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 1: the frame and also a negative for the starter to

219
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:56,559
Speaker 1: the engine block, right, But drivers side only has to

220
00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 1: the frame. And I said, and I replaced that negative

221
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:01,599
Speaker 1: cable going to the frame, and so it came with

222
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:05,080
Speaker 1: the same result. I got the exact same truck six

223
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 1: and pulls the post. On both batteries you get like

224
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 1: thine highs, which you should right. Well, it's showing you

225
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:16,960
Speaker 1: when you said, when you said you went you went

226
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 1: post two post, you got thirteen nine on the one battery,

227
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 1: and then when you went positive side to the engine

228
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:26,560
Speaker 1: you got thirteen nine. It's when you go to the frame.

229
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 1: It's when you go to the frame. So if you

230
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 1: voltage drop that ground that goes where does it go

231
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 1: from the frame to the engine on the one side,

232
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 1: did you say on passenger side? There's one that goes

233
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:46,679
Speaker 1: from It goes from the battery to the engine block

234
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:49,840
Speaker 1: with the starter, and then it goes from the engine

235
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:51,839
Speaker 1: block to the frame rail. Right, So the one that

236
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 1: goes from the engine block to the frame rail. Did

237
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 1: you voltage drop test that? Okay? But that one, that

238
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 1: one's good, that's on the path side. How do you

239
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:08,080
Speaker 1: know it's good? Well, that one's getting right, But how

240
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 1: do you know that cable connection. How do you know

241
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 1: that cable connection between the engine and the frame is good?

242
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 1: Did you test it? Or you're assuming, well, that battery

243
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:20,560
Speaker 1: is getting charged over by the alternator Okay, how do

244
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 1: you know that cable connection between the engine and the

245
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 1: frame is good. You've got a problem with the truck, right,

246
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 1: truck's broke. Test the cable test, the cable, move on.

247
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 1: Don't focus on well, I know it's good because right,

248
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 1: because logically, I was gonna say, logically, if that battery

249
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 1: doesn't know its location, right, it doesn't know whether it's

250
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 1: on this side of the truck or that side of

251
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:49,800
Speaker 1: the truck. All right, if if, if we were too

252
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 1: figuratively speaking, take the battery that's not getting charged and

253
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 1: put in the place of the battery that is getting charged,

254
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 1: and for all I know you've already done that, you'll

255
00:14:56,800 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 1: probably find that battery charge. Yeah, and the battery charged fine, right, right,

256
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 1: so we know it's not the battery, all right, where

257
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 1: we unless you know that cable connection down at the

258
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 1: frame off the battery that's not getting charged, if that

259
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 1: negative cable is corroded somehow. But I assume it sounds

260
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:17,560
Speaker 1: like you're smart enough. I'm not picking on you. I'm

261
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 1: just saying, if you still right, you replace that cable.

262
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 1: But it sounds like if there was corrosion at the frame,

263
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 1: you would have cleaned that right. Okay, what if you

264
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 1: run a jumper cable between that negative cable and the

265
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 1: engine block? That's what? Is that a good idea to

266
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 1: do that? Yeah? Why not? You're just you're just replicating.

267
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 1: For all you know, there used to be one there

268
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 1: and somewhere and it rotted and fell off, or the

269
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 1: one that's the one that's on the frame side has

270
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 1: a poor connection and even though it's working for the

271
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 1: one side, it won't work for the other. That's why

272
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 1: I say boltage dropped test across the negative cable from

273
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 1: the frame to the engine block. That's why I'm trying

274
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 1: to get you to do that, all right, because it

275
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:04,560
Speaker 1: eliminate Listen, stop focusing on what's bad. Start start focusing

276
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:07,200
Speaker 1: on what's good, because if you keep looking for what's bad,

277
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 1: you're gonna miss over a lot of stuff. All right,

278
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:13,080
Speaker 1: all right, tell me how you're gonna voltage drop test this.

279
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 1: What are you gonna connect from engine framail? Right? Because

280
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 1: a voltage drop test is done on the same side

281
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:28,440
Speaker 1: of polarity. If we're voltage drop testing the negative side,

282
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:32,160
Speaker 1: we go negative post of the battery to negative point

283
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 1: of the cable, and we don't want to do it

284
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:36,720
Speaker 1: while the engine is running. There's not as extreme of

285
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 1: a load there. We want to test it while you're

286
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:43,840
Speaker 1: cranking it, okay, because for all you know, the way

287
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 1: the engine cranks and rotates, flexes, that cable moves it,

288
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:49,040
Speaker 1: you're gonna all of a sudden see something that says, hey,

289
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 1: there's a bad connection there. Um you know. But yeah,

290
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 1: let's let's voltage trump test that, because if everything you're

291
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 1: saying is accurate, you can prove what you're saying is accurate.

292
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 1: Just dead heavy gauge jumper cable between the frame and

293
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:04,000
Speaker 1: the engine block that battery, you won't know where it is.

294
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 1: You've got good voltage there. If if touching the engine

295
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 1: block shows that batteries being charged correctly, then by all rights,

296
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:14,200
Speaker 1: it should charge correctly when you jump from the frame

297
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 1: to the battery engine block I'm sorry, from the frame

298
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:19,640
Speaker 1: to the engine block on the driver's side as well.

299
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 1: It'll just it'll be right. So somewhere there's a bad connection,

300
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 1: it has to be. The laws of physics don't change, correct,

301
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:30,119
Speaker 1: That's what I was thinking. Also, all right, all right,

302
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 1: I appreciate it. Let me know chat all right, I'm

303
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:35,359
Speaker 1: here if you need me, all right, brother be well, um, yeah,

304
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 1: that's listen, the laws of physics don't change. Uh, you know,

305
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,120
Speaker 1: it's and I'm gonna hold you to it. I'm gonna

306
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 1: hold everybody that calls this show to it because you

307
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:45,760
Speaker 1: can't get hung up on well, I know it's good.

308
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:48,200
Speaker 1: How do you know it's good? Did you test it yet?

309
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:51,400
Speaker 1: If you didn't test it, well, you know what, then

310
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 1: that's not a fair assumption. All right, You've got to

311
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:56,639
Speaker 1: work on what's bad or I'm sorry, you've got to

312
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:58,920
Speaker 1: work on what's good in order to find out what's bad.

313
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 1: And uh, other than that, you're guessing. And if you're

314
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 1: gonna guess, why call me? Uh you know it's I

315
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 1: hate to say it like that, but uh, you know,

316
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:10,800
Speaker 1: let's do that. Understand what you're doing. And volted drop

317
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:15,280
Speaker 1: testing is really becoming. We sat in class Monday and

318
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:17,120
Speaker 1: Tuesday night and it was it was a long week

319
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:21,160
Speaker 1: because of that. You know, we're talking about using digital voultometers,

320
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 1: testing decimal points out to the fourth place for electronics

321
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:28,960
Speaker 1: for vehicle computers and the technicality of it all. So

322
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 1: it's gonna get worse. It's not gonna get easier or

323
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 1: better anytime soon. I'm Rondaninian. I'll be back right after this.

324
00:18:34,840 --> 00:19:03,080
Speaker 1: Don't go away. It's beginning to look a lot like Chris. Well. Well,

325
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 1: well now Tom, now, Tom, is this the moment? The moment? Now?

326
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:10,639
Speaker 1: It could be the It could be the moment. No

327
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 1: not now, We'll wait. We have something very special coming

328

329
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:18,240
Speaker 1: in the last segment of the show. Is it the

330
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:20,240
Speaker 1: last segment? We're not the last segment yet, now, Tom,

331
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 1: not no, no, no, no, no, no, calm down, run excited, excited.

00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:29,879
Speaker 1: Christmas Eve getting I'm getting into the Christmas spirit. So

334
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 1: I know what I'm getting this year. I'm getting motor oil.

335
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:36,959
Speaker 1: I hope. Let's boy oh boy? So well yeah, what else?

336
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:38,400
Speaker 1: Are you know? What else would the car doctor get

337
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:40,440
Speaker 1: for Christmas? I mean you have to see the you know,

338
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:42,440
Speaker 1: my kids asked me, you want any tools that No,

339
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 1: I have more than enough tools, trust me. I'm trying

340
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 1: to get rid of the ones I know. Let's uh,

341
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:49,800
Speaker 1: let's go over to Webster in Virginia six Trailblazer and

342
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:54,160
Speaker 1: some problems here. What's going on? Webster? How can I help. Yes, um,

343
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 1: it's it's I've run a kind of a Nightmari issue

344
00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:02,480
Speaker 1: right here. Um. I bought me a a youth tire,

345
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 1: but for sixty bucks because you know, at the moment,

346
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:08,320
Speaker 1: I couldn't afford a tire, right, And so unfortunately it's

347
00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 1: a retread. And to those out there, I would recommend

348
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 1: anybody not. I would recommend anybody not to go by

349
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:19,560
Speaker 1: a retract tire. Um. I had an issue where the

350
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 1: retread started coming done and they used rope for a retread.

351
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:27,080
Speaker 1: I managed to actually limp the car home. I figured, says, okay,

352
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:29,120
Speaker 1: well I must go through my spare on it. Well,

353
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:35,320
Speaker 1: unfortunately the shop I took it to overtwork my lug nuts, right,

354
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 1: and so I want to go and take the tire off,

355
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:40,199
Speaker 1: and there's nettle shavings and I noticed that, oh man,

356
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:45,200
Speaker 1: all of my six lugs are they're they're ruined. So

357
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:48,359
Speaker 1: I had to go by a hub assembly, right, because

358
00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 1: I can't just knock the studs out of this hub. Right.

359
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:54,119
Speaker 1: Is it a front? Is it a front or rear wheel?

360
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 1: Rear wheel drive? But I'm saying which which which will

361
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:02,520
Speaker 1: has the It was a front, It was a front

362
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 1: front driver side. Okay, So why can't you knock the

363
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:11,119
Speaker 1: studs out? I was sold to buy an assembly. No,

364
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:14,159
Speaker 1: take the wheel off, take the breaks apart, take the

365
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:17,159
Speaker 1: rotor off. Okay. Um, do you have like a three

366
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:22,200
Speaker 1: pound baby sledgehammer? Uh? That I do have? Okay, just

367
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:24,560
Speaker 1: pop the stud out if you want to see how

368
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:26,840
Speaker 1: if you want to see how it works. Did you

369
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:31,560
Speaker 1: buy the new hub and bearing assembly? Take it out

370
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 1: of the box and look at it. It's just a

371
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:35,600
Speaker 1: matter of just popping it out. And then do you

372
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:38,440
Speaker 1: have it? Do you have an impact gun some kind

373
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 1: of Okay? See, that's where you're gonna have the issue

374
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:43,200
Speaker 1: because you're you're gonna need to do this. And I

375
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:44,800
Speaker 1: gotta tell you that to do a wheel bearing in

376
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:48,119
Speaker 1: your driveway without with just hand tools, that can be

377
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:50,720
Speaker 1: a chore unto itself. The axle nut, you're gonna wear

378
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:54,359
Speaker 1: yourself out just changing the axle nut. So yeah, I

379
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 1: was about to ask you what I mean the accidnuts.

380
00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:58,800
Speaker 1: So there's a special tool for that, isn't it. Well,

381
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:01,199
Speaker 1: there's a six point there's a large six point soccket

382
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:04,399
Speaker 1: thirty two millimeter, twenty eight millimeter, whatever the size is.

383
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 1: So you know you're gonna spend more money on tooling

384
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:10,879
Speaker 1: than you really have to. Look. This is this is

385
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:14,600
Speaker 1: this is fairly simple. Go by yourself six wheel studs,

386
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 1: all right. When you when you get the wheel studs,

387
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 1: I want you to purchase like two or three regular

388
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:26,200
Speaker 1: open lug nuts. Do you know what I mean? You

389
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:28,359
Speaker 1: know what I mean by that, regular open lug nuts,

390
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:32,359
Speaker 1: all right? Okay, because you're gonna use those, then you

391
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:35,040
Speaker 1: need to go to the hardware store and purchase a

392
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:39,000
Speaker 1: large flat washer by a couple. They're cheap, all right,

393
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 1: either that you can when you're at the auto parts

394
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:44,439
Speaker 1: store you're looking for a tool. I believe it's by Lyle,

395
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 1: all right, it's about it's about a half inch thick,

396
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:52,480
Speaker 1: it's about two inches in diameter, and it's a support

397
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:54,800
Speaker 1: bearing that you can put over the stud and it

398
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 1: will make sense to you with the side that faces

399
00:22:57,119 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 1: you as conical, the wheel nut would fit into that cone.

400
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:03,160
Speaker 1: And then you as you tighten it down, the bearing spins.

401
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:05,920
Speaker 1: But at the same time you're pulling the stud through

402
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:10,320
Speaker 1: the flange, the hub flans from the other side. All

403
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 1: of this is done. All of this is done much easier. Um.

404
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:16,359
Speaker 1: All of this has done much easier with it with

405
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:19,119
Speaker 1: some sort of a cordless impact. So it sounds like

406
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:21,360
Speaker 1: Santa needs to come visit you sooner rather than later.

407
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:25,920
Speaker 1: All right, I appreciate it. I'm gonna go ahead and

408
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 1: get on that. I love fairly in the dealing right now,

409
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:32,080
Speaker 1: so I'll probably do that tomament. You know, just make

410
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:34,080
Speaker 1: sure obviously when you support the vehicle, I want you

411
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:36,400
Speaker 1: on a jack stand. I want you safe. Don't leave

412
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:38,920
Speaker 1: it on a jack uh, you know. But to do

413
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:41,320
Speaker 1: it that way, and like I said, is going to

414
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:43,720
Speaker 1: be easier and safer. But to do it that way,

415
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:46,280
Speaker 1: take the take the new wheel bearing and stud that

416
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:48,119
Speaker 1: you've you know, hub set up out of the box

417
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:50,760
Speaker 1: and look at the studs. You'll see you might have

418
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 1: to maneuver the flange around a little bit the clear things,

419
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:55,680
Speaker 1: but the studs are just gonna push right out with

420
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:57,439
Speaker 1: a three pound sledge. You're gonna pop them out one

421
00:23:57,440 --> 00:23:59,440
Speaker 1: at the time, press them in one at the time.

422
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:02,879
Speaker 1: Just make sure you look behind the flange when you

423
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:06,359
Speaker 1: pull the studge through that the stud is seated a

424
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:10,879
Speaker 1: d okay, that you've that you've bottomed it out. And

425
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:13,280
Speaker 1: then when you're done, when you put the new tire.

426
00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:14,600
Speaker 1: When you put it all together and you put the

427
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 1: tire on with the new lug nuts all right, hand

428
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:20,680
Speaker 1: tork the wheel and the torqus back on, that's gonna

429
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:22,680
Speaker 1: be either a hundred or a hundred twenty foot pounds.

430
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:24,680
Speaker 1: I believe it's gonna actually be a hundred and twenty.

431
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:26,879
Speaker 1: Check your specs to be sure. But you want to

432
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 1: make sure you hand to work those lug nuts. We

433
00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:30,879
Speaker 1: hand to work everything when it comes to let we

434
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:32,440
Speaker 1: hand to work everything anyway, but we hand to work

435
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 1: lug nuts, especially so because we want to prevent this

436
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:37,520
Speaker 1: kind of thing from happening, because it's a nightmare. All right, kiddo,

437
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 1: I appreciate it. Thank you much. You're very welcome. So

438
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:41,959
Speaker 1: you have a good holiday, and if you need more,

439
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,160
Speaker 1: we're here for you. Let's let's go over to Bill

440
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:47,280
Speaker 1: in Iowa. Buill to thirty eight. Chevy is still running.

441
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:53,640
Speaker 1: What's going on, bed? How are you well? On my cluster?

442
00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:57,159
Speaker 1: I have in my instrument panel. I got the original

443
00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:01,879
Speaker 1: speed cluster, okay, and we had it out and we

444
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:05,960
Speaker 1: fixed it to where it registers the miles. Okay, okay.

445
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:12,000
Speaker 1: The indicator that for speed is a low red indicator

446
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:14,400
Speaker 1: and it will come up to thirty mile an hour

447
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:18,840
Speaker 1: and stop and we'll not go any further. I don't care.

448
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 1: You can drive it a fifty sixty mile an hour

449
00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:23,800
Speaker 1: and it'll only come up to thirty and stop. But

450
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:29,480
Speaker 1: it registers the correct mild distance as you drive the car.

451
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:32,439
Speaker 1: So you've got some sort of idea what we need

452
00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:35,600
Speaker 1: to do. Yeah, there's there. There is a calibration spring

453
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:38,480
Speaker 1: in there, and it sounds like that spring there is.

454
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:41,000
Speaker 1: It sounds like that spring may be stretched out and

455
00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:43,840
Speaker 1: it reaches its limit. Uh, you know, it sounds like

456
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 1: you're gonna need to send it out to a spinometer

457
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:49,199
Speaker 1: cluster repair facility of some magnitude or you're gonna need

458
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:53,359
Speaker 1: to take it apart and pick up parts. Um clock

459
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:56,959
Speaker 1: specialists in our little town that overhauled it and got

460
00:25:57,040 --> 00:26:02,120
Speaker 1: it to work, okay, And I a brand new cable

461
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:05,400
Speaker 1: from the transmission to the back of this of the cluster,

462
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:09,560
Speaker 1: and I had that that was some of my problem

463
00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:13,160
Speaker 1: that it didn't register the miles because that that has

464
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 1: to be a hex head that like you know, on it.

465
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:17,800
Speaker 1: It was war and it would fall out of the

466
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:21,119
Speaker 1: cluster in the day. But if it's but if it's

467
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:25,520
Speaker 1: registering the miles correctly, then the cable can't be in

468
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:28,920
Speaker 1: any cause or effect because the same piece that drives,

469
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:31,960
Speaker 1: you know, the cable drives the sphenometer cluster for both

470
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:35,000
Speaker 1: miles per hour and odometer reading. So it has to

471
00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:37,480
Speaker 1: be a full It has to be a fault within

472
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 1: the spometer head itself that's preventing it from going over

473
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 1: thirty miles an hour, which brings me back to my

474
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 1: original statement. There's a calibration spring there that will keep

475
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:51,680
Speaker 1: it from reaching its true destination point. I started have

476
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 1: the same problem with the fifty five, my fifty five Chevy,

477
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:57,119
Speaker 1: where once I get above fifty two miles, once I

478
00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:59,440
Speaker 1: get above fifty two miles an hour, I have it

479
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:03,320
Speaker 1: going the other way. The spometer needle accelerates. It's off.

480
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:07,320
Speaker 1: It's off by about eight percent. So when it reads eight,

481
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:10,639
Speaker 1: when it reads eighty miles an hour, I'm doing sixty five.

482
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:14,119
Speaker 1: When it reads a hundred miles an hour, I'm doing eight.

483
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:17,600
Speaker 1: When it reads well, I never go faster than that, honest,

484
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 1: at least not when not when anybody's looking so um.

485
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:23,879
Speaker 1: You know. That's why I say a spenometer center with

486
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:28,000
Speaker 1: proper calibration. Provided we got somebody there that remembers how

487
00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:30,800
Speaker 1: to do this. Uh is the way? Is the way

488
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:33,920
Speaker 1: you want to attack this? All right, sir, Hey, I

489
00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:37,240
Speaker 1: enjoy your show. I listened to you all the time,

490
00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:41,399
Speaker 1: and I'm still driving my thirty eight about once a month,

491
00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:44,560
Speaker 1: even when it's in the winter. If it's if it's funny,

492
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:49,399
Speaker 1: because it has a heater in it, it's perfect. I

493
00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:54,800
Speaker 1: can't imagine not having a nineteen thirty eight Master Deluxe.

494
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:58,840
Speaker 1: It's nineteen sixty two. You're feeling great in your thirty eight.

495
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 1: I just made that up, Billy. You have yourself a

496
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:06,080
Speaker 1: merry Christmas. Hey, appreciate your show. Appropriate, Thank you, sir.

497
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:07,800
Speaker 1: You'd be well. I'm running any in the Car Doctor.

498
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:23,440
Speaker 1: I'll be back right after this talking Christmas Tree at Christmas.

499
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:27,159
Speaker 1: Welcome back. We're on Name the Car Doctor. You know.

500
00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 1: I guess this is the point in the show and

501
00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:31,680
Speaker 1: the year where we kind of look back and we

502
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 1: we we talk about something inspiring and gratitude and hopes

503
00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:38,440
Speaker 1: that we have, you know, good thoughts for next year.

504
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:40,400
Speaker 1: You know. I opened the hour this hour by talking

505
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:43,760
Speaker 1: about Danny, my mechanic and his his yellow seventy eight

506
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:46,760
Speaker 1: and how he's learning the trials and tribulations of hot rotting.

507
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 1: He's putting an engine in it for the second time

508
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:50,600
Speaker 1: and the third time, and he's learning what it's like

509
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:53,000
Speaker 1: to go through. And you know, somebody said to me

510
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:54,800
Speaker 1: this week, they said, you know, you're letting him suffer.

511
00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 1: And I said, no, I'm not letting him suffer. I'm

512
00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:58,880
Speaker 1: letting them learn because I'm not necessarily helping him or

513
00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:01,480
Speaker 1: doing it for him. He's sort of skinning his knuckles

514
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 1: on his own, and he's getting through it on his own.

515
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:05,680
Speaker 1: He's getting smart and creative along the way, because that's

516
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:07,680
Speaker 1: what you're supposed to do, right, And that's what a

517
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:10,040
Speaker 1: lot of us did. Uh. You know, my buddy russells

518
00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:11,920
Speaker 1: up from North Carolina this weekend and we're kind of

519
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:14,280
Speaker 1: reminiscing about the old days and we start telling tall

520
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:16,520
Speaker 1: tales and a lot of them aren't tall tales, you

521
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:19,200
Speaker 1: know what they really are truthful and there really are

522
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:21,840
Speaker 1: what we went through. Uh, you know, everything from bringing

523
00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:23,959
Speaker 1: the first hot rod home from Jersey City and how

524
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:26,560
Speaker 1: that we were talking this morning about how the wheel

525
00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:29,280
Speaker 1: fell off on Route three flat towing at home illegally

526
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:31,160
Speaker 1: in the in the dark one night behind the sixt

527
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:34,320
Speaker 1: G t O that the lug nuts fell off of

528
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:36,120
Speaker 1: the car we were tolling that I was sitting in

529
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:39,040
Speaker 1: and the tire fell off on Route three and bounced

530
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:41,200
Speaker 1: off the concrete the vider and how we uprighted it

531
00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:43,840
Speaker 1: and got it home safely and made a car from that.

532
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:45,440
Speaker 1: And you know what, those are the stories and things

533
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:47,560
Speaker 1: that you remember and you think about, and you know what,

534
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:49,640
Speaker 1: that's what helps form you, I guess when you're younger.

535
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:51,560
Speaker 1: So for Danny and for only kids out there that

536
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:54,200
Speaker 1: are trying to build hot rods, keep going because it

537
00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:56,120
Speaker 1: will work sooner or later, and you're gonna learn a

538
00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:58,440
Speaker 1: whole lot more than you know when it actually happens.

539
00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:00,280
Speaker 1: I'm ron and Ay in the car doctor. I'll be

540
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:02,600
Speaker 1: back with a very special treat right after this. Don't

541
00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:21,920
Speaker 1: go away. It's the most wonderful time. And it really is,

542
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:24,680
Speaker 1: Ronaldindy in the car Doctor. You know, it wasn't too

543
00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:27,160
Speaker 1: long ago that uh, you know, I was sitting in

544
00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:28,720
Speaker 1: the shop and it was a cold night. It was

545
00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:30,800
Speaker 1: a cold, dark night. It's got to be it's got

546
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:34,760
Speaker 1: to be thirty five, maybe forty years ago, and um,

547
00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:37,560
Speaker 1: well you know this, This kind of really happened to

548
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:42,200
Speaker 1: me the real night before Christmas. Towards the night before Christmas,

549
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:46,040
Speaker 1: and all through the dark, not a car was still broken.

550
00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:50,040
Speaker 1: All the plugs had their spark, the wrenches were stashed

551
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:53,480
Speaker 1: all snug in their boxes. While me by myself was

552
00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:58,480
Speaker 1: having Christmas party liftovers some bagels and loses out from

553
00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:01,240
Speaker 1: the lot. There was such a clatter. I sprang to

554
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:04,800
Speaker 1: my feet and yelled, hey, what's the matter now? What

555
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:08,520
Speaker 1: to my blood shot, tired eyes should appear? But some

556
00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:14,160
Speaker 1: crazy old guy when sleigh with reindeer. I winced and

557
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:19,320
Speaker 1: I cried, oh great, just one more. I'd rather sit back,

558
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:23,200
Speaker 1: have a cup of tea and some s'mores. Well, he

559
00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:26,000
Speaker 1: approached the front door with a smile so bright I

560
00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:28,640
Speaker 1: quickly unlocked it and turned back on the office light.

561
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:33,640
Speaker 1: Excuse me, kind sir, but I'm having some trouble. The

562
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:37,800
Speaker 1: left runnerund my sleigh has started to wobble. The balance

563
00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:40,400
Speaker 1: is wrong and it pulls to the right the reindeer.

564
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:44,840
Speaker 1: They're working too hard this cold night. I have so

565
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:47,000
Speaker 1: much to do and no time left to do it.

566
00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:49,640
Speaker 1: Do you think that you could will please get right

567
00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:54,760
Speaker 1: to it without saying a word. I went to work

568
00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:59,400
Speaker 1: right away. Too bad that alignment machine had no specs

569
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:05,080
Speaker 1: for a sligh. Meanwhile, the reindeer were prancing around that

570
00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:10,080
Speaker 1: Rudolphin comment, what a couple of clowns. In a matter

571
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:13,800
Speaker 1: of moments, book time one point two, the runner was

572
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:17,440
Speaker 1: straight in the alignment done too. I helped him load

573
00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:19,760
Speaker 1: up all the presents but one. He left it to

574
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:23,920
Speaker 1: pay me for cash he had none. I hope it's

575
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:27,400
Speaker 1: from snap on a half inch drive air gun. He

576
00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:31,320
Speaker 1: started the slave by merely calling their names on Dasher

577
00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:34,840
Speaker 1: and Dancer, Donner and Blitzen, get up off your butts,

578
00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:39,480
Speaker 1: Rudolph comment, and Vixen. It started to idle and float

579
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:42,200
Speaker 1: in the air. Then Rudolph lit up the sky with

580
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:46,680
Speaker 1: his nose extraordinaire, and I heard him exclaim, this could

581
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:49,600
Speaker 1: have been quite a mess. The car doctor rings true.

582
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:56,080
Speaker 1: Good mechanics aren't expensive, they're really priceless. And that's the

583
00:32:56,120 --> 00:33:00,440
Speaker 1: way it happened some forty years ago, and that's just

584
00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:04,040
Speaker 1: the way it will continue to happen as we march forward.

585
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:08,880
Speaker 1: It's Christmas, it's just a week away, and Tom and

586
00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:11,120
Speaker 1: I want to say thank you to everybody that's been

587
00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:13,720
Speaker 1: here for us this year, and I especially want to

588
00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:15,600
Speaker 1: say thank you to my family for supporting me in

589
00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:18,320
Speaker 1: all these years as we've strived to do and put

590
00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:20,560
Speaker 1: out a good radio show and talk to you about

591
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:22,400
Speaker 1: your cars. We have a lot to be thankful for

592
00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:25,760
Speaker 1: and for the little kid and all of us. For

593
00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:28,760
Speaker 1: everybody that's hoping to get something under the tree or

594
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:31,160
Speaker 1: whatever holiday you're going to celebrate, I hope it comes

595
00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:34,040
Speaker 1: your way, because we all deserve good things, and we

596
00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:35,880
Speaker 1: all deserve to get what we need in this life,

597
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:40,120
Speaker 1: because that's really what Christmas is all about. So be

598
00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:43,760
Speaker 1: kind to each other, be safe to each other. You know,

599
00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:46,360
Speaker 1: do one good deed today, help to improve the world

600
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:50,200
Speaker 1: a little bit, because doing good deeds is kind of contagious.

601
00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:53,400
Speaker 1: It just kind of works out that way. Before you

602
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:58,200
Speaker 1: know what, everybody's doing the same thing. I Uh, I've

603
00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:00,320
Speaker 1: had a great year. You know, we've had a great

604
00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:03,600
Speaker 1: year doing this together. And uh, you know, I want

605
00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:05,360
