Speaker 1: I went to the Delhi at breakfast. I go to

5
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:12,879
Speaker 1: the shop. I take the lock off the front gate

6
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:16,120
Speaker 1: and the lock fell apart. Don't work. Wait, my alarm

7

Speaker 1: was busted. The box to be out and everybody one

8

00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:30,640
Speaker 1: I want to know the weather because weather affects parametric pressure.

10
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:33,879
Speaker 1: Weather affects vehicle operation, and I want to make sure

11
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:37,720

32
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 1: to you. But you know, there was a recent article

33
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 1: online that I was reading and I'll paraphrase and quote

34
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 1: it here as I'm reading from it. Mercedes Benz will

35
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 1: make an electric or hybrid version of all its cars

36
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 1: by two and they're not alone. Volvo will go all

37
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 1: electric by next year. Can I mentione? Volvo is gonna

38
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 1: be all electric? No more internal combustion engine at Volvo. Uh.

39
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 1: You know, I don't know what they're thinking. Um Ford

40
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 1: has plans for an electric F one fifty truck and

41
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 1: an electric Mustang. GM will launch ten electric or hybrid

42
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 1: cars in the country by and Mercedes Benz is Christopher

43
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 1: von Hugo says the coolness of self driving cars will

44
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:13,639
Speaker 1: help convince the public that the coming electric vehicles will

45
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 1: be worthwhile. I mean that's a pretty bold statement. You've

46
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 1: got some major players they're betting on electric and hybrid

47
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:25,080
Speaker 1: vehicles as the way forward, and I'm not convinced. And

48
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 1: my rationale is, and here's you know, they all talk

49
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 1: about the coolness of it and self driving cars, and

50
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 1: here's what's gonna convince people self driving cars or electric

51
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 1: vehicles are worthwhile. How cheap are they to fix? And

52
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 1: how often do they break? And that's really the key.

53
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 1: And when you stop to look at how long it

54
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:46,359
Speaker 1: took us to get internal combustion engine vehicles sorted out

55
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 1: in all environments, all weather, you know, the long haul.

56
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 1: It was pretty close to a hundred years, right, I mean,

57
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 1: it took us a long time in history. And now

58
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:58,920
Speaker 1: we're gonna bring electric vehicles and they've been around in

59
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 1: some form at some volume, maybe fifteen years now. I'm thinking, Um,

60
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:05,920
Speaker 1: I think it's a pretty daunting task. I'm not convinced

61
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 1: that it's gonna work. Willing to look at it, but

62
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 1: I'm not convinced it's gonna work. But you know, what

63
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 1: are your thoughts? What do you think about it? Send

64
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:15,079
Speaker 1: me an email Ron at Car Doctor show dot com

65
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 1: or give us a qualitive five zero. If you want

66
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:21,079
Speaker 1: to talk about electric vehicles and self driving vehicles? Are

67
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 1: they the way forward? Are they the wave of the future?

68
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:26,080
Speaker 1: And be interesting conversation. Let's have that one either this

69
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:28,079
Speaker 1: week or next week. Whatever you hurt the Syrus. Let's

70
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 1: kick the garage doors open, Anthony, and let's go over

71
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:33,080
Speaker 1: and let's go talk to Let's go talk to Terry

72
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 1: in Tennessee. Tempo. Terry, Welcome to the Car Doctor. How

73
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 1: can I help? Yes, sir, I've got a Tempo. It's

74
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 1: a low vileage car. UH it's got about a hundred

75
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 1: thousand miles on it and UH I bought it from

76
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 1: my UH daughter to drive, and she got another one,

77
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 1: so I ended up with it back. UM, I took

78
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 1: up a long trip and it's been running fine. And

79
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 1: I came back home and made the turn to come

80
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 1: into the garage and I heard a pop. And since

81
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 1: then it's had a massive power steering league and UH

82
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:23,479
Speaker 1: I thought at once maybe it was UH reservoir, but

83
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 1: I took it off and checked it. I plugged it

84
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:29,039
Speaker 1: and filled it up and it's it holds flood by itself.

85
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 1: But um, the problem I'm having is get into it

86
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 1: the pirate steering pump and the main lines. Because I

87
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:42,159
Speaker 1: don't know if you're familiar or not, but that year

88
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:47,599
Speaker 1: model has got that gigantic alternator bracket on it. Oh yeah,

89
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 1: is this what? What? What engine? What engine was this terry?

90
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 1: This is the fourth cylinder of the sixth Uh, it's

91
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:58,040
Speaker 1: the four cylinder and the alternators in the back right,

92
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:04,039
Speaker 1: Well they it's in the front, okay, but but it's

93
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 1: it's it's it's in the front of the engine or

94
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 1: the rear of the engine. Up top. Yeah, it's it's

95
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 1: up top, but it's it's Uh, it's facing the radiator.

96
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 1: It's on the radiator side. Got you, got you? Got you,

97
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:21,920
Speaker 1: got you? And the power steering club is just below it. Correct? Correct? Yeah, okay,

98
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 1: now I got you. Um okay, So your question to

99
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:27,040
Speaker 1: me is how do you get to the pump? Yeah,

100
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 1: I'm trying to figure out how to get to the

101
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:33,119
Speaker 1: pomp and the lines because the lines. I can see

102
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 1: the beginning of the lines from the pump, but then

103
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 1: they disappear. And my main question is I took the

104
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 1: alternator all, and I can't see where. I can't say

105
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:48,279
Speaker 1: where to take the actual boats out of the bracket

106
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:52,839
Speaker 1: to the alternator. Are they are they somehow under it?

107
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 1: Or the bolts out of the bracket to the alternator? Well,

108
00:05:57,560 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 1: don't the bolts come in from the front or the

109
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 1: passenger side of the vehicle? Uh? And say, I've not

110
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 1: been able to find the boats and the bracket to

111
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 1: take it off. And it's got to come off to

112
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:15,039
Speaker 1: get to the pump. But so I'm I'm at a loss.

113
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 1: I've looked and looked, and I can't tell you. Well,

114
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:20,280
Speaker 1: do you have the do you have the alternator out

115
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 1: of the vehicle? No? Uh? Not not right now. I

116
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:26,600
Speaker 1: put the alternator back in where I could move it.

117
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:30,719
Speaker 1: And uh so I I put the alternator back in

118
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 1: so you can get the you can get the alternator out,

119
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 1: you can't get the bracket out. Yeah, okay, so the bracket.

120
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 1: Look at the bracket the way it's it's bolted to

121
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:43,279
Speaker 1: the block. If I remember right, I think there's four holes.

122
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 1: Maybe it's two. But the bolts are recessed into the

123
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 1: aluminum of the bracket. Okay, all right from what I remember,

124
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 1: and and you know, take the alternate once the alternators out.

125
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 1: Now maybe it's filled up with some mung and Schmutz

126
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:03,559
Speaker 1: technical terms, and you know the bolts are recessed down under.

127
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 1: But if I remember right, it was a matter of

128
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,480
Speaker 1: looking and finding the bolts on the bracket, taking them

129
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 1: out in the whole bracket lifts off, and then you

130
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 1: can get to the pump. Okay, all right? And and

131
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 1: another question, um they it seems to babe when I

132
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 1: say a massive power steering lake, I mean you can

133
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 1: fill it up and turn the car on and in

134
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 1: fifteen minutes time, the reservoir is completely empty. So where's

135
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 1: the fluid coming out behind the motor? In front? It

136
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 1: seems to be it's I don't know if the the

137
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 1: pulleys are throwing it towards the you know, the pastor

138
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 1: side firewall, which would be the front, or it's my

139
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 1: uh belt is getting sod. Okay, So it's up front,

140
00:07:56,680 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 1: is what you're saying. So it's it's I there the

141
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 1: front seal of the pump has failed, okay. Or the

142
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 1: power steering there's a rubber portion if I remember right,

143
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 1: isn't there a rubber portion of the power steering hose

144
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 1: up there by the pump word. The one return line,

145
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 1: if I remember right, had a piece of rubber in it.

146
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 1: It plugs into the nipple on the reservoir right right.

147
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 1: I've replaced the supply line because that's the only one

148
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 1: that I could access. But the line that you're talking about,

149
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 1: I've looked at it, the portion that I can't get to,

150
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 1: and it seems to be okay, okay, Well let's think

151
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 1: of it like this, all right. You know, if if

152
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 1: you wash everything down and have somebody started up and

153
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:47,080
Speaker 1: you're looking with a light, it's you've got to see

154
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 1: the source of where it's coming from first. Right now,

155
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:55,200
Speaker 1: If if it looks like, you know, the inside of

156
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 1: the pulley is dry, wash out the pulley and the

157
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 1: pulley gets soaking wet and you don't see fluid spraying

158
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 1: on it, then it sounds like it's the front seal

159
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 1: of the pump. Normally I would tell somebody to add

160
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:09,560
Speaker 1: a fluorescent die to the fluid, whichever one we're trying

161
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 1: to figure out the leak on and look for the die.

162
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 1: But it sounds like this is such a massive leak

163
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 1: of epic proportion that you're you're you're probably wasting time

164
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:21,080
Speaker 1: going through the motion. You know, it just sounds like

165
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 1: it's that big. So that's what I would do. Now,

166
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:27,079
Speaker 1: you know, my concern is it's twenty five years old.

167
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:31,680
Speaker 1: You know, I would put a pump in it. I

168
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 1: would try and change whatever lines I can still get,

169
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:39,079
Speaker 1: all right, And you know, if you're gonna start to

170
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 1: drive this car, then you know, keep in mind that

171
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 1: all the rubber is twenty five years old. And you

172
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 1: know if if once you've got it apart, you only

173
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 1: want to take it apart once. Type of a thing,

174
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 1: all right. Now, it may also get easier if you

175
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 1: take out the radiator to gain access to some of this.

176
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 1: But but watch what I tell you, you know, and

177
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:02,680
Speaker 1: here's the case where the argument can be made for

178
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:06,840
Speaker 1: system repair. All right, you know you're gonna take apart

179
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 1: this twenty five year old how many miles are on it?

180
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 1: Hundred thousand? Got a hundred thousand original radiator? I would

181
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 1: I've not ever changed it, so I would guess that

182
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 1: it is original hoses. Uh. Now, now the hoses have

183
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 1: have been changed how long ago? Uh? They're not motor craft,

184
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:32,960
Speaker 1: so I don't know. They're aftermarket, so they have been changed.

185
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 1: I wouldn't five years old, ten years old. You know,

186
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 1: we're dealing with twenty five year old car here. Yeah,

187
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 1: I would say we've had the car now for about

188
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:46,719
Speaker 1: five years, and uh, the guy that we bought it

189
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 1: problem was pretty mechanical, so I thought he was the

190
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 1: one che So I'm guessing twen I guess eight years

191
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:55,960
Speaker 1: eight to the so you know, all the rubber on

192
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 1: this car is somewhere between eight and five years old.

193
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 1: I'd be thinking, you're gonna have to put a belt

194
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 1: on it for the power of steering leak. You're gonna

195
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 1: want to do the power of steering pump. You're gonna

196
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 1: want to do the lines. I would I would start

197
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:10,680
Speaker 1: thinking about a radiator and hoses. Uh, you know, while

198
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:12,679
Speaker 1: you got it open and you get some access to things,

199
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:14,720
Speaker 1: I put I put a thermostat in there. It's a

200
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 1: good time to just kind of do the obvious. You know.

201
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 1: It's it's not like this is an easy car to

202
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 1: work on, and it's not easy to source parts. So

203
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:26,720
Speaker 1: you know, don't wait five more years to try and

204
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 1: find a good radiator for it, because you don't know

205
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 1: what five years are gonna bring. You know, things tend

206
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:34,200
Speaker 1: things tend to disappear off the shelf. Do you have

207
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 1: do you have an Orillyoto parts down there in your

208
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 1: nick of the woods the road? And then get over

209
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 1: to the get over to your local Rallyoto parts and

210
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 1: start talking to them, tell them what you're working on,

211
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:46,560
Speaker 1: and um, you know, try and scoff up some of

212
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:48,840
Speaker 1: the uh, some of the parts from them, because you'll

213
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 1: find that they've got the better quality stuff. And uh

214
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 1: they're great when it comes to warranty and any other issues,

215
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:55,680
Speaker 1: and they've got the right answers. Their counterpeople are second

216
00:11:55,679 --> 00:12:00,439
Speaker 1: to none. How now, how big a job today is?

217
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 1: I may have you? Have you replaced the pumps on

218
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 1: one of these Yeah, I mean back in the day,

219
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:05,840
Speaker 1: we used to do pumps. We used to do radio.

220
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:08,560
Speaker 1: As you see these cars all the time. Um, you

221
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 1: know it's it's it's just a matter of having the time,

222
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 1: the patients and picking your way through it. Um, you know,

223
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 1: it was nuts and bolts. The hard part about this

224
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 1: job is gonna be things are gonna be a little

225
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 1: dried out and rigid and and tough. So you gotta

226
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:24,720
Speaker 1: take some time and think about your moves. You're playing

227
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 1: you're playing poker and chess at the same time. My friend,

228
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:29,199
Speaker 1: you've got to be a little cunning and you've got

229
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:30,960
Speaker 1: to think about what moves you're gonna make before you

230
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 1: make them. Uh, do you have time for another quick question?

231
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:36,679
Speaker 1: I do. If you can, let me pull over and

232
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:38,320
Speaker 1: take a pause, hang on, and we'll be back right

233
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:43,959
Speaker 1: after this. Hey, the car doctor, we're back. Let's get

234
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 1: real quick. Back to Terry. Go ahead, Terry, we got

235
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:48,840
Speaker 1: two minutes ahead, real fast, Yes, sir, I've got also

236
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:55,679
Speaker 1: got a nine cat like brown and transmation final and

237
00:12:55,760 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 1: it's got the turbo hydramatic two. Right. I always wondering

238
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:04,600
Speaker 1: what your thoughts are regarding the Transmason if if it's

239
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 1: if that's why I should go back with it, or

240
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 1: maybe something something else. Now I think I would go

241
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 1: back with that. I would. I would take it to

242
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 1: somebody to, you know, get it evaluated and rebuilt. And

243
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:17,840
Speaker 1: a lot's changed in the in the world in the

244
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:20,440
Speaker 1: thirty plus years since that trans came out, and there's

245
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 1: been a lot of improvements. Um, I don't know of

246
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:25,600
Speaker 1: a direct swap. I'm sure the trans guy would perhaps

247
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 1: there is something better, but before we start changing too

248
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:30,680
Speaker 1: many things. My concern would be the rest of the

249
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:33,319
Speaker 1: car in terms of will it work together with it?

250
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:35,880
Speaker 1: So think of it like this, that that that term

251
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 1: of four hundred two hundred four are at last of

252
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:42,199
Speaker 1: thousand and eight and lasted forty years. Um, that's a

253
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 1: pretty good record. I don't think you're gonna have it

254
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:46,320
Speaker 1: forty years from now, so uh, you know, I would

255
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:49,080
Speaker 1: take take and get it evaluated by a trans guy.

256
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:50,840
Speaker 1: Tell them what you're looking for. Is there a better

257
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 1: version of that or is there an upgrade with better

258
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 1: heavy duty parts to put in it? And um, go

259
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 1: with that and I think you'll be just fun. So

260
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 1: make sure he flushes out the t AND's cooler, which

261
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,319
Speaker 1: I'm sure he will. He'll know that in the radiator

262
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 1: and um, you know, just make sure the fluids everything

263
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:08,680
Speaker 1: is clean. And consider maybe putting an auxiliary trans cooler

264
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 1: on top of the one that's there. Maybe that would

265
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:13,400
Speaker 1: help longevity, depending upon how you're using the vehicle, Terry,

266
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 1: I gotta run to the next call. I appreciate all

267
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 1: that you've asked, and thanks for being part of the

268
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 1: car doctrination. Let us know what happens with the for

269
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 1: tempo lance in Bismarck. How can I help you, sir,

270
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 1: what's going on? Um? I have a totally twelve for diffusion.

271
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 1: I have a question about how to prevent rust. Um, Okay,

272
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 1: the car is only six years old and I have

273
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 1: the trunk is resting along the lip where it comes

274
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 1: down and meet some bumper. Checked with the dealership and

275
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:43,000
Speaker 1: they said, well, you're a year past the paint warranty.

276
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 1: I washed the car weekly. It started a garage with

277
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 1: the round forty degrees. You know, what else can I

278
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 1: do to prevent rest? I think six years it's already

279
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 1: resting out is kind of a short term. Yeah, and

280
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 1: I agree, is it? You know? Do you wash it

281
00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 1: at a car wash? You hand wash it? Yep? No

282
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 1: better car wash? All right, So I'd go to the

283
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 1: core of the summer, I hand washing. But okay, I'd

284
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 1: ask the car wash what are they using for water?

285
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:10,120
Speaker 1: It would be my first question and the only reason

286
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 1: I point this out. And I don't wanna make everybody

287
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 1: run back to the car wash and say what are

288
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 1: you guys doing right or wrong? But I have had conversation.

289
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:18,080
Speaker 1: A matter of fact, I had one with Joe, the

290
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 1: local car wash owner here in North Jersey at one

291
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 1: of the places I go and I asked him what

292
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 1: his mixes and you know he's mixing it right. I

293
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 1: think he said he was doing um, because they do

294
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:30,920
Speaker 1: recycle their water. And that's my point. So you know,

295
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 1: if they're recycling their water and you're in a state

296
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 1: where it's it's it's heavy salt use on the road,

297
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:39,200
Speaker 1: you're you're taking that salt and that grittin and contaminant

298
00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:40,880
Speaker 1: and then washing the car with it. In a sense,

299
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 1: although they claim that they're recycling to a certain level,

300
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 1: but they do they can save money by using you know,

301
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 1: more recycled than fresh water in that sense is my understanding.

302
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 1: So and if I'm wrong, somebody in the car washing

303
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 1: business please call me up and correct me, set me straight. Um.

304
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 1: But I agree it's it. It is too soon. I

305
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 1: have seen my share of Ford Explorers to the exact

306
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:10,640
Speaker 1: same thing in in rusting out the hood, and I

307
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 1: question parents, go ahead, And I was gonna say, go ahead,

308
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 1: finished what your explorer to your parents have No, I

309
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:20,800
Speaker 1: was just gonna say, my parents have a Ford Explorer

310
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 1: and they had issued with the paint on their hood

311
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:26,000
Speaker 1: rusting everybody a year ago. They had to have it repainted. Ye,

312
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:31,120
Speaker 1: and and because it's specific panels, it makes me think

313
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 1: it's a it's a vendor issue. It's how it was

314
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 1: assembled and prepped, all right. You know it's because in

315
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 1: the case of the Explorer, I don't know what is

316
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:40,320
Speaker 1: in case of your fusion, but in the case of

317
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 1: the Explorer, it's only the hood that I've seen blood

318
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:49,240
Speaker 1: blistering and bubble like that. So you know, if it

319
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:51,800
Speaker 1: was the whole vehicle, if it was you know, we

320
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 1: used to see things with ground issues on certain cars

321
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 1: and how they would rust, you know, as well as

322
00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:01,040
Speaker 1: environment and all that. But because it's because it's that

323
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:03,360
Speaker 1: one panel, it makes me think, what's particular to that?

324
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 1: How is that one panel being handled and assembled? Here,

325
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 1: I've got one for you. My two thousand four suburban

326
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 1: garage kept in Baby since day one, fifty six thousand miles.

327
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:16,359
Speaker 1: Just like all the suburbans and tahose and trailblazers of

328
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:20,159
Speaker 1: that generation. It is blistering the paint around the rear

329
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:24,679
Speaker 1: hatch push button that opens the rear hatch. You know,

330
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:27,879
Speaker 1: there's there's no there's no reason for it. Uh, you

331
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:30,480
Speaker 1: know the cars. There's there's a car that's been pampered

332
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 1: more than you know, any two year old in the country. Um,

333
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:36,280
Speaker 1: if you if you touch the paint on the suburban,

334
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:38,919
Speaker 1: it's still smooth and feels shiny, and it feels wet

335
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:41,400
Speaker 1: even when the car is dry. It's been waxed so much.

336
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:44,640
Speaker 1: So I you know, I would, I would go back

337
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:46,520
Speaker 1: and just as the car wash. Hey, you know, just

338
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:48,639
Speaker 1: out of curiosity, can you tell me what the mix is,

339
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:51,199
Speaker 1: how much recycled water to fresher you're using. If he

340
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 1: says he's using all fresh water, then it's got nothing

341
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:57,200
Speaker 1: to do with the car wash. It's gonna be the panel.

342
00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 1: You know. Have you looked underneath the car real quick

343
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:04,200
Speaker 1: before I let you go? Yeah, and underneath it looks fine.

344
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:06,680
Speaker 1: It's you know, it's the only thing I can see

345
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 1: of that trump. Then it's gonna be. It's gonna it's

346
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:12,480
Speaker 1: it's probably not car wash related. It's probably how that

347
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:16,159
Speaker 1: panel was assembled from ford And um, I would, I

348
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:17,919
Speaker 1: would just get it fixed and just be aware of

349
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 1: it and maybe the body guy can tell you more

350
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:22,399
Speaker 1: once he strips the material down. Good luck to your

351
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:24,680
Speaker 1: lance and thanks for calling it. Hey. Coming up next,

352

353
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 1: the history and the demise of Englishtown Raceway Park, New Jersey.

359
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 1: It has been quite a while since I've spoken to

360
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,880
Speaker 1: our next next guest, and I considered him a very

361
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:06,720
Speaker 1: dear friend. Um, it's been a couple of years. We

362
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:08,879
Speaker 1: used to talk up here on radio quite frequently when

363
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:11,600
Speaker 1: he was the owner of Simon k Performance and uhum,

364
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:14,399
Speaker 1: some recent changes in the industry have decited me to

365
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:15,800
Speaker 1: sit there and say, you know, it's probably time to

366
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:17,200
Speaker 1: reach out to Ron and bring him back. I want

367
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:18,960
Speaker 1: to talk a little bit about a t L where

368
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:20,680
Speaker 1: he is now, but I just want to talk about

369
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:23,200
Speaker 1: the raceway park along just down to Jersey. Mr Ron Ross,

370
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:28,320
Speaker 1: welcome back, sir, Hey, good afternoon. UM, let's talk about

371
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:30,920
Speaker 1: a t L. Well, let's talk about why you're here.

372
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:33,320
Speaker 1: Why are you at a t L and not no longer? Simon?

373
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 1: I can we talk about that real quick, not to

374
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 1: bring up a painful episode. Maybe I hope it wasn't

375
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:39,920
Speaker 1: painful for you. No, not not at all. I mean

376
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:42,919
Speaker 1: I we're in Simonic Performance, which was my own company

377
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 1: where I built racing on performance engines for about twenty

378
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 1: one years. But with the change in the industry and

379
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 1: how things were going harder and harder to make a profit,

380
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:54,960
Speaker 1: I had a chance to move on to another company

381
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 1: and closed a small shop that the head and I

382
00:19:57,640 --> 00:19:59,880
Speaker 1: elected to do that five years ago. Yeah, and now

383
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:01,760
Speaker 1: are at a t L fuel Cells at l fuel

384
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:03,920
Speaker 1: cells dot com. And you guys are you know, we've

385
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 1: talked about this once in a while. We see each

386
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:09,199
Speaker 1: other at breakfast and um, you're you're you guys are

387
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:12,240
Speaker 1: building fuel cells and bladders for everything from small race

388
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 1: cars to the military to uh you know, um, what

389
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:18,720
Speaker 1: are some of the crazy things you've seen in the

390
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 1: past five years? Oh boy, Well, I'm really on the

391
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 1: motorsports end and we're doing and by fuel cells, so

392
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:28,080
Speaker 1: everybody gets it right. That's really a crash resistant type

393
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:30,359
Speaker 1: of gas tank, something that can be deformed and not

394
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:33,719
Speaker 1: like fuel. But we do almost everything in the racing industry.

395
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:35,600
Speaker 1: We do a lot of military, we do a lot

396
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:37,679
Speaker 1: of industrial, We even doing a lot of stuff for

397
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 1: a nacid and SpaceX and that, and it's just been

398
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:42,920
Speaker 1: a great company so far to work for. Yeah, um,

399
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:44,440
Speaker 1: I mean I've heard some of the things you guys

400
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 1: have made. You um you you you also have like

401
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:50,720
Speaker 1: portable fuel bladders to extend the range of boats so

402
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 1: people get an idea of what you're dealing with. So

403
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:54,719
Speaker 1: if somebody wants to add, you know, a hundred gallons

404
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:56,439
Speaker 1: to the deck or torner gallons to the deck, they

405
00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:59,560
Speaker 1: can get a bladder made and go take a boat ride,

406
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:04,360
Speaker 1: go further out, go more deep sea fishing kind of thing. Right. Oh, absolutely,

407
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:06,439
Speaker 1: that that's one of the big areas that's growing for

408
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 1: us the last few years, the marine industry and all.

409
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:12,159
Speaker 1: There's just someone he uses for this that uh, that

410
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:14,360
Speaker 1: is kind of exciting every day even though I only

411
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:16,440
Speaker 1: see the motor sports and to hear about everything else

412
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:18,880
Speaker 1: we're working up. So in the five years that you're there,

413
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 1: run do you do you think the motorsports side is growing,

414
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 1: staying the same, shrinking? You know, Well, what's your feeling?

415
00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:31,119
Speaker 1: Well that that's a tough one. There's definitely some areas

416
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:33,119
Speaker 1: of motorsports. No matter how much I don't want to

417
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:37,480
Speaker 1: say that are shrinking. A lot of it is is

418
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:40,920
Speaker 1: struggling to find you know, corporate sponsorship and correct money

419
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:43,440
Speaker 1: to keep going. And some of it is doing okay

420
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:47,680
Speaker 1: and even growing some different areas, but uh, drag racing

421
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:50,200
Speaker 1: and particular and a few others really taking a hit

422
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:53,320
Speaker 1: with this economy. Now, do you think it's the economy?

423
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 1: Do you think it's you know, it's not like it

424
00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 1: when we were coming up, right, it was you know,

425
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:01,200
Speaker 1: you could you could go by an old camaro or

426
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:04,159
Speaker 1: an old something and go drag racing and spend you know,

427
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 1: a few thousand dollars and you're there. Now it's very competitive,

428
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:09,880
Speaker 1: it's very costly. Uh, you know in the kids today,

429
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 1: they don't have that kind of money. They're they're you know,

430
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 1: they're just it's it's just out of proportion, I think,

431
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:18,600
Speaker 1: and it's just killing the sport in my opinion. What

432
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:22,640
Speaker 1: do you say? Definitely one of the issues it certainly

433
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 1: is to do it correctly and and you know, the

434
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:27,840
Speaker 1: junkyards and used parts that, like you say, when we

435
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 1: grew up aren't there. So to do it correctly now

436
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:33,000
Speaker 1: it does take a lot more money, and there's also

437
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 1: just a lot more things for today's kids to do

438
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:38,200
Speaker 1: besides cars, So that has taken a little bit away

439
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:40,960
Speaker 1: from it. Also, you know what started this conversation today

440
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:43,800
Speaker 1: is and it's it's not that it's a a a

441
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 1: local track to New Jersey. English Town Raceway Park has

442
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:52,840
Speaker 1: decided to suspend drag racing period, right, that's no more. Um.

443
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 1: They're keeping fortunately, they're going to keep the the the

444
00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:59,440
Speaker 1: motorsport part of it where they're gonna do the uh

445
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:01,919
Speaker 1: the tuner ours. I think Ron phillis and tell us

446
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:05,040
Speaker 1: what's going on down there. Yeah, I mean it's it's grown.

447
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:07,760
Speaker 1: It did start. You know, we're going back nine on.

448
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:10,959
Speaker 1: Raceway Park opened here in New Jersey and it was

449
00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:13,639
Speaker 1: one of the few drag strips in the area and

450
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:16,479
Speaker 1: grew to be one of the big national event holding

451
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:19,680
Speaker 1: drag strips, a real premier facility. But then it also

452
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:22,879
Speaker 1: expanded into a drift track and a dirt bike track

453
00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 1: and some carding and a few other things. And unfortunately,

454
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:29,359
Speaker 1: now the big announcement has come out that after fifty

455
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:32,399
Speaker 1: two years, the drag racing inn can no longer support

456
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:36,000
Speaker 1: itself financially, and the owners have decided to close that

457
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:39,160
Speaker 1: part of the racetrack, and and and and and and

458
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:41,640
Speaker 1: there's that sign of the times, and you say to yourself,

459
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:44,720
Speaker 1: why does a premier shop like Simon k get to

460
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:48,000
Speaker 1: that point where you know the decision has to be made? Um,

461
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:49,879
Speaker 1: you know, Raceway Park gets to that point where the

462
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:52,680
Speaker 1: decision has to be made at L has the issue

463
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:54,919
Speaker 1: where maybe they're not seeing the motorsports sales that they

464
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:58,680
Speaker 1: once saw. You know, is that segment of the industry

465
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:01,080
Speaker 1: shrinking at least in certain parts of the country. That

466
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:04,879
Speaker 1: could be true. Oh, absolutely, there's no doubt about it.

467
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:07,480
Speaker 1: And I don't think there's any one factor. I know

468
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:09,359
Speaker 1: a lot of racers have been on the internet and

469
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:11,800
Speaker 1: they're really been a little rough and hard on the

470
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:15,199
Speaker 1: Nap family that runs Raceway Park for closing it. But

471
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:18,320
Speaker 1: looking at it from their side, and granted I raced

472
00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:20,159
Speaker 1: there too, but I am grateful to have done it

473
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 1: for the years that they were open at such a

474
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:25,000
Speaker 1: great facility. Looking at it from a business side, at

475
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:27,200
Speaker 1: the end of the day that still has to turn

476
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:29,760
Speaker 1: the profits. Everybody there can take a paycheck and feed

477
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:32,480
Speaker 1: their family. Now, how do you think this affects n

478
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:34,679
Speaker 1: h R A, which is really you know, not not

479
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:36,639
Speaker 1: that I don't enjoys talking to you. But one of

480
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:38,439
Speaker 1: the main reasons I brought you up here today is,

481
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:40,639
Speaker 1: you know, we've got to think of you know, Englishtown

482
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:43,800
Speaker 1: Raceway Park as one of therese what ten national tracks

483
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:47,920
Speaker 1: in HR holds national events at right now, there's nine. Well,

484
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:51,760
Speaker 1: they actually go to twenty four during the year, twenty

485
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 1: four big racist national events, and that drops to twenty three.

486
00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:58,840
Speaker 1: And although people would say, hey, crosl Finglestown and let's

487
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:01,600
Speaker 1: just go twenty three since this year and have a season,

488
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:05,639
Speaker 1: the problem is all the corporate sponsors and the sponsors

489
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:08,439
Speaker 1: on the covers paid to be at twenty four races

490
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 1: and want to be in the New York metro area

491
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:13,720
Speaker 1: where there's a lot of exposure. So they have to

492
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:16,320
Speaker 1: figure out a way to handle that and goodbye. So

493
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:19,639
Speaker 1: keep all the money happy and and and how do

494
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 1: you think they do that? I guess they do they

495
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 1: move it to atco Do they move it? Do they

496
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:25,200
Speaker 1: create a track? I mean, you can't create a track

497
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:28,840
Speaker 1: out of thin air. Well, that's true. There's there's definitely

498
00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:31,240
Speaker 1: not going to be any new tracks opening, especially out

499
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:34,320
Speaker 1: in this area. So they have to find a close

500
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:36,399
Speaker 1: enough track that can handle it. And I think the

501
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:38,480
Speaker 1: two big choices are either going to be a second

502
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:41,560
Speaker 1: event at maple Grove Raceway, which is a reading PA,

503
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:46,920
Speaker 1: or possibly a second event at Epping which is up

504
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:50,119
Speaker 1: in New Hampshire. So either one of them could do it.

505
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 1: All right, Well, listen, your your your best memory of

506
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:57,600
Speaker 1: Raceway Park real quick? What is it? Best memory would

507
00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:00,640
Speaker 1: have to be And granted that racing about four lasses there,

508
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:03,800
Speaker 1: but would be uh, my wife and my in laws

509
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:06,200
Speaker 1: sitting in the stands one day, the one time that

510
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:08,879
Speaker 1: came to watch me race, I manage you go seven

511
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:11,280
Speaker 1: rounds and super Pro wouldn't the big race that day

512
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:14,359
Speaker 1: and that was huge. Yeah, yeah, you know what. And

513
00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:17,399
Speaker 1: that's why they call them memories, right and hopefully for

514
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:19,159
Speaker 1: all good ones and yeah they're good and you just,

515
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:22,400
Speaker 1: you know, we gotta move on. Life changes, so that's

516
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:24,639
Speaker 1: part of the experience. Hey, Mr Russ, let me give

517
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:26,719
Speaker 1: a plug to a t L if the listeners want to, um,

518
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:28,720
Speaker 1: you know, if somebody out there is doing some dirt

519
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:31,199
Speaker 1: track or modified or maybe somebody wants to take their

520
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:33,840
Speaker 1: fishing boat out further. Um, where can they get more

521

529
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:01,240
Speaker 1: week and maybe I'll catch up with you midweek or so.

530
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:05,120
Speaker 1: Oh absolutely, we'll see you for breakfast. Thanks. Thanks, Ron,

531
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:07,480
Speaker 1: You take good care. Um. Yeah, that's you know, we

532
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:09,960
Speaker 1: and for everybody out there, we know this is a

533
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:12,520
Speaker 1: national show. You're saying, Hey, you know Raceway Park, no

534
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:14,760
Speaker 1: big deal. What does it mean to the guy in California?

535
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:17,320
Speaker 1: What it means to the guy in California is as

536
00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:20,280
Speaker 1: Ron said, And I thought it was ten, but there's nine. Um,

537
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:23,400
Speaker 1: it's twenty four. So you're now short one race track,

538
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:26,040
Speaker 1: you know, is one of our race tracks is missing. Um,

539
00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:29,199
Speaker 1: we've got to do a very quick juggle and adjustment

540
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:31,359
Speaker 1: in order to get the racing schedule back up to

541
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:34,720
Speaker 1: where it's supposed to be. And my fear is this

542
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 1: is the beginning of what might become something very common

543
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:40,600
Speaker 1: here in the Northeast as as drag racing continues to

544
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:43,200
Speaker 1: take the hits and uh, you know, not looked upon

545
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:47,000
Speaker 1: favorably and not supported because of so many factors. So anyway,

546
00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:50,520
Speaker 1: eight five zero nine zero zero, I'm on any of

547
00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:52,639
Speaker 1: the car Doctor. I'll be back right after this. This

548
00:27:52,680 --> 00:28:07,600
Speaker 1: car is automatic, it's systematic, it's hard romat what's breeze lightning? Hey,

549
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:11,480
Speaker 1: welcome back when the car doctor zero nine zero, let's

550
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:14,240
Speaker 1: go and talk to Mike Portland Maino six Dodge Stratus

551
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:16,720
Speaker 1: and some tips on a water pump replacement. I love tips, Mike,

552
00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:22,000
Speaker 1: so good brothers lay it on me. What do you got? Um, Well, basically,

553
00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:24,400
Speaker 1: make a long story short. I was calling in because

554
00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:26,720
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago you're talking about water pumps

555
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 1: and that reminded me of my daughter's a lot of

556
00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:31,720
Speaker 1: pumps I did on her two thousand six dollars Stratus.

557
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 1: But basically, um, just a good tip on how to drain,

558
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:40,640
Speaker 1: on how to get at the drain plug on the radiator. Um.

559
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:44,040
Speaker 1: Everyone on YouTube tried all kinds of things, channel locks

560
00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 1: and adjustable pliers and all, you know, all screw drivers

561
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:51,600
Speaker 1: and the strongest thing as you could find. And nobody

562
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:55,480
Speaker 1: could really get a handle on taking that drain plug loose.

563
00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:58,600
Speaker 1: But basically all I did was I used like a

564
00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:02,840
Speaker 1: fifteen millimeter sock it right in a quarter inch ratchet

565
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 1: um and it kind of took a few turns you know,

566
00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:11,400
Speaker 1: here and there to get that drain plug loose. But

567
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:15,040
Speaker 1: most people on YouTube is basically ripped out one of

568
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 1: the cool and poses, and of course that creates a

569
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:20,360
Speaker 1: big mess. Yeah, well so that's a that's a good tip.

570
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:22,680
Speaker 1: I thought, I appreciate it. Now, let me let me

571
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:25,080
Speaker 1: ask you this. Does the pet cock have an ear

572
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:28,960
Speaker 1: on it? Or is it just a fifteen millimeter hes uh, No,

573
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:32,000
Speaker 1: it does have the air the ear because the other thing.

574
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:34,720
Speaker 1: The other thing you can do, all right, is find

575
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:37,840
Speaker 1: an older socket that you don't care about and cut

576
00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:42,240
Speaker 1: a slice in it. Okay, and that will work too. Now.

577
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:44,719
Speaker 1: The other thing is and the other thing to be

578
00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 1: aware of it is depending upon how many radiators you're

579
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:50,600
Speaker 1: repair in a lifetime, is they do make a socket

580
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:53,520
Speaker 1: a pet cock socket. It's got it's got the wide

581
00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:55,320
Speaker 1: groove in it, it's got a couple of steps in it,

582
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:58,680
Speaker 1: it's you know, it was probably all of fifty bucks

583
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:02,760
Speaker 1: you know years ago. Um, yeah, you know that works

584
00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:04,160
Speaker 1: well too. But I get it, and you know what,

585
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:06,000
Speaker 1: I like the way you're thinking because I like working

586
00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:11,480
Speaker 1: clean meating this constant and in this water pump. It

587
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:15,400
Speaker 1: is inside the engine block driven by the timing change. Yeah,

588
00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:18,200
Speaker 1: so all that has to come apart. It's a real thrill. Yeah,

589
00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:20,880
Speaker 1: it's quote into the book. It's eight hours. But um,

590
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:23,880
Speaker 1: you know I I worked on a piece by piece,

591
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:27,400
Speaker 1: and there's a few things I would have done differently. Um,

592
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:32,640
Speaker 1: because when you lower the transmission, UM, I probably would

593
00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:36,040
Speaker 1: have done that a little differently to get the back

594
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:42,840
Speaker 1: valve cover off. Um. So anyways, but but another good

595
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:47,560
Speaker 1: thing is, um, don't don't put that back together until

596
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:51,200
Speaker 1: you're sure that the nose of the water pump will

597
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:57,040
Speaker 1: stin freely. Because the water pump I got Uh. When

598
00:30:57,040 --> 00:30:58,720
Speaker 1: I was laying on my back looking up at the

599
00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:01,640
Speaker 1: water pump, I just thought, okay, well when I just

600
00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:04,640
Speaker 1: reach up there and spin the nose of the water

601
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:08,360
Speaker 1: pump before I talked down the ten millimeter boats And

602
00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:12,960
Speaker 1: wouldn't you know it, but it was binding because the

603
00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:17,040
Speaker 1: housing was tweaked. That's right, that's right. So even though

604
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:20,000
Speaker 1: it's spun free in your hand, right, But but it

605
00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:22,680
Speaker 1: was binding inside the engine block and that would have

606
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:26,680
Speaker 1: been uh oops, just after due over again. You always

607
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:28,400
Speaker 1: want to you always want to check it as it

608
00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:30,520
Speaker 1: You always want to check it as it's um as

609
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:33,120
Speaker 1: as as it's being operated right, because that tells you,

610
00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:35,440
Speaker 1: that tells you the real story of what's going on.

611
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:39,360
Speaker 1: Um so. But um yeah. Hey listen, Mike. I appreciate

612
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:41,080
Speaker 1: the call, and I appreciate the tips as well as

623
00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 1: Sam in Minneapolis two thousand, jeep Cherokee and some temperature problems.

624
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:14,000
Speaker 1: Hey Sam, welcome to the Car Doctor sir. How can

625
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:21,680
Speaker 1: I help there? On yes, sir, Um, Like I said

626
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:25,560
Speaker 1: at a two thousand Cherokee here, you know the inline

627
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:31,160
Speaker 1: for inline six LA four leader the UH stoner starts

628
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:33,680
Speaker 1: right at the front there. And I was assuming, you know,

629
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:35,920
Speaker 1: with the with this cold weather we have up here,

630
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:38,920
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago, I'll be driving down the road,

631
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:42,920
Speaker 1: opera normal operating tempts to ten. I'll look down all

632
00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:44,880
Speaker 1: of a sudden the temp will be at like one

633
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:47,560
Speaker 1: fifty one seventy and I'll put my hand on at

634
00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:51,080
Speaker 1: the floor. Event keeps still coming out nice and fine.

635
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:53,840
Speaker 1: I'll get to work, bring it inside. Check the cool

636
00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:56,400
Speaker 1: and cooling is good, operator hose is nice and hot

637
00:32:56,680 --> 00:33:00,200
Speaker 1: and hard, and pressure is good, and you know, let

638
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:02,640
Speaker 1: it cool down. And I checked the radiator radiator spoils.

639
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:05,240
Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, Um. I put a piece of cardboard

640
00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:07,320
Speaker 1: in front, made it seem like it was a diesel,

641
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:11,480
Speaker 1: and it brought the didn't let the temperature go down

642
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:15,080
Speaker 1: haves far, but it still did it. Um. Do you

643
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:21,600
Speaker 1: think it's you know, a faulty sensor too cold? I

644
00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:24,440
Speaker 1: think you got to do more testing. First of all,

645
00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:25,960
Speaker 1: it's an O B D. It's a it's an O

646
00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:28,640
Speaker 1: B D two vehicle, all right. You know it's got

647
00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:31,479
Speaker 1: onboard diagnostics too. It's you know, since nine, they all

648
00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:36,080
Speaker 1: have it. If engine temp was too cold, you would

649
00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:41,440
Speaker 1: see a p zero zero depending upon manufacturer, engine temp

650
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:44,959
Speaker 1: below spec. Uh. You know, obviously, one of the places

651
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:46,880
Speaker 1: we go is, let's go just see do we have

652
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:49,200
Speaker 1: any do we have a pending fault to set one

653
00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:52,480
Speaker 1: of those possible codes, And if we don't, then we

654
00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:55,720
Speaker 1: can believe that regardless of what the mechanical gauge on

655
00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:58,760
Speaker 1: the dashboard or the electric mechanical gauge on the dashboard

656
00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:01,760
Speaker 1: is seeing, the on computer is happy with with temperature

657
00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:04,840
Speaker 1: being what it is. All right, um O O B

658
00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:07,080
Speaker 1: D two is my life in the terms that that

659
00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:10,200
Speaker 1: governs what and how I fixed the car? All right?

660
00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:12,279
Speaker 1: If if you said to me, hey, ron, it runs

661
00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:15,200
Speaker 1: one fifty and my heat is uh, even if you

662
00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:16,600
Speaker 1: said to me the heat is good and it turned

663
00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:19,000
Speaker 1: on the check engine light, I'd be I'd be a

664
00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:22,200
Speaker 1: little bit more concerned. Uh. You know, I've got to

665
00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:24,160
Speaker 1: sit here and take a look at this and say, well,

666
00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:26,520
Speaker 1: the next step for me would be what does a

667
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:29,239
Speaker 1: scan tool tell me? Because I'm not gonna trust the

668
00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:31,840
Speaker 1: gauge on the car that's eighteen years old. You know,

669
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:35,759
Speaker 1: that's an approximation to me. You know, I'll give one

670
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:38,279
Speaker 1: to you the hot rod right fifty five shiv the

671
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:39,960
Speaker 1: thing I did the frame half on three years ago,

672
00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:43,560
Speaker 1: four years ago. Um, that's got a strictly mechanical gauge

673
00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:47,160
Speaker 1: Stewart Warner mechanical gauge. I'll see temperature fluctuation in that.

674
00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:50,279
Speaker 1: I can actually watch and tell you when the thermostat opens,

675
00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:53,080
Speaker 1: because I'll see that even in warm weather, warm more cold,

676
00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:56,880
Speaker 1: I'll watch it and I'll see the temperature creep up.

677
00:34:56,920 --> 00:35:00,279
Speaker 1: It'll hit two oh five to ten thermostat and it

678
00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:02,439
Speaker 1: will drop down to about one sixty, and then within

679
00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:05,120
Speaker 1: the next four to six minutes it'll settle upright at

680
00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:09,239
Speaker 1: about one two where it's supposed to be, you know.

681
00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:12,760
Speaker 1: And that's a very quick, very fast acting, very accurate

682
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:16,399
Speaker 1: mechanical gauge. My point is, I don't put that much

683
00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:20,480
Speaker 1: authority in an electric gage. I'd want to see what

684
00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:23,160
Speaker 1: a scan tool saying, I want to maybe use an

685
00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:26,200
Speaker 1: infrared gun and actually see what's my temperature at. I

686
00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:28,080
Speaker 1: would not put a piece of cardboard in front of

687
00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:32,000
Speaker 1: the radiator because I I would be weary or leary

688
00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 1: of creating another problem when there isn't one. So let's

689
00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:38,320
Speaker 1: do this. Let's put a temperature a small thermometer in

690
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:40,719
Speaker 1: the temp duct and see how the heat is really

691
00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:43,680
Speaker 1: affected by temperature. And let's scan it for coach and

692
00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:45,640
Speaker 1: see if we see anything else, I'll run any car doctor.

693
00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:47,200
Speaker 1: The mechanics are expensive. The price this p
