1
00:00:02,440 --> 00:00:05,000
Speaker 1: Ron Ananian. Sometimes I want to repair as a gut call.

2
00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:07,480
Speaker 1: All right, brother, it's sometimes sometimes you're gonna kiss it

3
00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:09,159
Speaker 1: with the air gun and you know you're gonna keep

4
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:14,400
Speaker 1: an eye on it. That car Doctor, I'm not proposing

5
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:16,960
Speaker 1: to fix it, but my concern is you're in Wisconsin,

6
00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:20,000
Speaker 1: it's not exactly spring, and we're gonna let your grandson

7
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:21,639
Speaker 1: drive it, and we don't want to get him stuck

8
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:24,680
Speaker 1: somewhere in a snowstorm. Welcome to the radio home of

9
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:29,120
Speaker 1: Ron and Nanian the Car Doctor, since this is where

10
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:33,040
Speaker 1: car owners the world overturned to for their definitive opinion

11
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:37,040
Speaker 1: on automotive repair. If your mechanics giving you a busy signal,

12
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:40,600
Speaker 1: pick up the phone and call in. The garage doors

13
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:42,680
Speaker 1: are open, but I am here to take your calls

14
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 1: at eight and now he running. You know, it's just

15
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:52,680
Speaker 1: a busy, busy day here at the Car Doctor. So

16
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna give you a long, big winded speech

17
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 1: about kicking the hour off. Let's there's a bunch of

18
00:00:57,560 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 1: things I'm gonna try and talk about this hour. But

19
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 1: more importantly, the loans are backed up Roger and Florida Suburban.

20
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:04,680
Speaker 1: How can I help you sir, welcome to the car doctor.

21
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 1: Hey Ron, thank you, Thank you for all the education

22
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:10,959
Speaker 1: you get to us every week. I enjoy listening to

23
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 1: you and and getting educated by you every week. Thank you, sir.

24
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 1: Glad to be here for you. What's going on? And

25
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 1: my my suburban five dot three kind of code P

26
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 1: zero one five D delta, And so I threw a

27
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 1: scanner on it and consawd what that was and U

28
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 1: center delayed response to two center dead response lean the

29
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:36,759
Speaker 1: bridge bank too center one upstream right upstream, censor bank

30
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 1: too good, ahead, Yeah, So I throw up. So I

31
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 1: went under it, and all the wiring going to the

32
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 1: centers looks fine. I have no exhaust leagues or anything

33
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 1: like that. So I want ahead and my reset it.

34
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 1: And it's been clear for probably a good three months now,

35
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 1: so I'm guessing it might have been just something weird

36
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 1: and it's one along and it's fine. So I just wanted,

37
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,080
Speaker 1: you know, to see exactly what is that trying to

38
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 1: tell me when it says it delayed response, And then

39
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 1: the follow up question that that would be at the

40
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 1: routine maintenance item should you replace your O two centers

41
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,079
Speaker 1: for example on mine on my suburban or like thirty

42
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 1: five bucks apiece, So it's not a lot of money

43
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 1: to do it. Okay, let's start. Let's start at the beginning.

44
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:19,520
Speaker 1: First of all, Uh, fifteen D is the later response

45
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 1: bank two cents or one. So what it's saying is

46
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 1: the O two censor has to cross the midpoint threshold,

47
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 1: all right, and for sake of conversation, it's point five

48
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:31,919
Speaker 1: half of a five tenths of a vault is the middle.

49
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 1: It has to cross that threshold so many times per

50
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 1: per second or per millisecond. Actually um an O BD

51
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 1: two language to satisfy the computers, uh, you know, programming,

52
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 1: so it knows that, Hey, it's it's an active censor.

53
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 1: So you know you cleared it and it went away

54
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 1: and you haven't seen it repeat. Okay, how do you

55
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 1: know that that censor is not marginal? Well, one of

56
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:54,359
Speaker 1: the things you could do is does your does your

57
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:58,920
Speaker 1: scan tool read data stream? It does? Yes? Okay, So

58
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:02,519
Speaker 1: let's go look at fuelture rims. Are our fuel terms

59
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 1: equal or close to equal bank to bank? If if

60
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 1: two is starting to skew out of the range of normal,

61
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 1: and you know a normal fuel trim, I'll expect on

62
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 1: a seven eight year old vehicle, depending upon the head,

63
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 1: fuel system, cleaning, what sort of maintenance itce had. My

64
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:23,080
Speaker 1: guess is it's had some is you know, you're going

65
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:27,239
Speaker 1: to see bank one probably you're gonna see long term

66
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:30,520
Speaker 1: fuel trim four or five percent. Short term fuel trim

67
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:34,519
Speaker 1: pretty tight U zero plus or minus five percent, something

68
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 1: like that. So if I start to see things skewed

69
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 1: where long term is ten twelve percent bank too, and

70
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 1: bank one is down around that four or five percent

71
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 1: long term number, that's quite a difference. It's building. It

72
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 1: just hasn't gotten to the threshold where it says it's

73
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 1: a problem. So you know, go look at fuel trim,

74
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 1: fuel trim the same side to side, and that's that's

75
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 1: one of the first early early indicators. Here's a classic

76
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 1: example of using a scan tool. We would bring both pits,

77
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 1: both pieces of data up and graph them. Do they

78
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 1: graph the same? Theoretically, you've got to four cylinder engines

79
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 1: melted together in the middle of a V eight. They

80
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:16,279
Speaker 1: should run the same bank to bank, all things being

81
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 1: efficient and equal. So that's that's that's one indicator. You know,

82
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 1: how does the O two stack up against the other.

83
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,840
Speaker 1: You could definitely graph the two of them. Look at

84
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 1: their signal. Look at how they're responding between each other.

85
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 1: You know, because you've got a good part on the car.

86
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 1: It's the other side. Always look at the other side,

87
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:37,719
Speaker 1: right and and you know, how is that sensor reacting? Now?

88
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,839
Speaker 1: When you say a new one's thirty five bucks? What

89
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:46,839
Speaker 1: brand is that? Actually saw a brand that I could get. Okay,

90
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 1: as long as it's real a C. Delco, I have

91
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 1: no problem with that, you know. And that's you know,

92
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 1: is it was it online that you found it? Yeah?

93
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 1: I just watch. You know, some of the stuff online

94
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:00,600
Speaker 1: is bogus. I don't I don't care hard we look

95
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 1: at it. Heck, I heard a story that I heard

96
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:04,040
Speaker 1: a story the other week that one of the local

97
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 1: supply houses swore they were original General Motors power window regulators,

98
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:14,159
Speaker 1: and push came to shove and what they found out

99
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:18,479
Speaker 1: is somebody in China manufactured and infringed on GMS trademark

100
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 1: and logo stamped the box the same stamp, the part

101
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 1: the same. Heck, the rivets even looked the same as

102
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 1: the way I heard the conversation, and uh, you know,

103
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:29,479
Speaker 1: it was bogus stuff. So just just be sure of

104
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 1: where you're getting it from. Is it returnable? I'm not

105
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 1: saying not to, just you've got to be certain. You know,

106
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:38,479
Speaker 1: there's a huge difference between that online guy and what

107
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 1: his overhead is versus O'Reilly oto parts for example, and

108
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:44,279
Speaker 1: what they have to go through to maintain you know,

109
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 1: their overhead at least at least with a person at

110
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:50,480
Speaker 1: the counter. If it's ten bucks difference, fifteen bucks difference,

111
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 1: you've got somebody to go back and talk to. Try

112
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 1: doing that on the internet, you know, Like I always say,

113
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:57,600
Speaker 1: biparts from China, Try sou in China. Let me know

114
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 1: how that works out for you. Uh, you know that

115
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 1: just doesn't work. Now. The the one thing I want

116
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 1: to mention about P zero fIF d Uh. You know

117
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 1: what you can do is uh, you know, is the

118
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:14,480
Speaker 1: sensor active. I have seen the does the problem? Well,

119
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:17,920
Speaker 1: you haven't had the problem in three months, right, Yeah?

120
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:22,720
Speaker 1: I have seen some issues in the rain all right,

121
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 1: where the rain affects it. And when you start to

122
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:28,719
Speaker 1: trace out the wiring harness, you will find corrosion inside

123
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 1: a harness connector uh the driver's side or by the

124
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 1: driver's side under the battery trade box. But I don't

125
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:37,840
Speaker 1: know that. I want you to go start taking all

126
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:39,920
Speaker 1: this apart. If the problem doesn't come back and everything

127
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:43,040
Speaker 1: looks normal, we have also solved this problem. And this

128
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 1: is right out of GM, right out of some of

129
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:49,039
Speaker 1: the databases to that adding a ground wire, a ground

130
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:54,039
Speaker 1: to the tan wire will also help improve ground connectivity

131
00:06:54,880 --> 00:07:00,600
Speaker 1: and help improve O two censor response rate as well. Right, So,

132
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:02,599
Speaker 1: just just some things to go look at and some

133
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:05,919
Speaker 1: things to think about, alright, sir? Alright? Vehicle. Yeah, and

134
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 1: the vehicle's got like thousand miles long, and I want

135
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 1: to have it for a long time. Belove the truck.

136
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 1: It is a maintenance thing. Should somebody replace the oxygen centers? Then? Um?

137
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 1: Do I change O two's as a maintenance item generally? No?

138
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 1: All right, I I I hear about it in the industry,

139
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 1: and I see guys doing it saying it. Yes they do.

140
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 1: You know, there's and it's not that it's it's it's

141
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 1: a bad thing or a good thing. You know. My

142
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 1: feeling is it's work and leave it alone. If it

143
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 1: ain't broke, don't fix it. But but I gotta tell

144
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 1: you so, all right, as I have to tell you

145
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 1: this story I had, I had lunch or dinner um

146
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 1: with one of my fellow former employees, Chris, who was

147
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 1: now a national trainer for IT Imotive Training Group a

148
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 1: couple of weeks back, and we were talking about circumstances

149
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 1: with cars and how they break. And he was telling

150
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 1: me stories about, you know, cars with seventy thousand miles

151
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 1: on it and they've got bad injectors, or they're they're

152
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 1: doing engines at ninety because of carbon deposits, or because

153
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 1: of varnished the piston rings and all these and I'm like, Chris,

154
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 1: I just don't I don't see that stuff at that

155
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 1: age and miles. And he said, yeah, do you know why?

156
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 1: And I said why that? Because you're doing the maintenance.

157
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 1: He says, you're selling maintenance to your customers and you're

158
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 1: taking care of the fleet. That way, he goes, the

159
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 1: guys that don't do the maintenance are the guys that

160
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 1: are you know, the car runs good first hundred and

161
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 1: fifty two thousand miles and all of a sudden, you know,

162
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 1: somewhere in that hundred to two thousand mile range and

163
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 1: things start to fall apart, if not sooner. So he said,

164
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 1: oil change intervals have a lot to do with it

165
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 1: from the reports he's reading. Yeah, I get it. I

166
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 1: agree with him. My My my point to you that

167
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:35,319
Speaker 1: I'm going the long way around the barn to make

168
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:39,199
Speaker 1: and I apologize, is, you know, have you ever done

169
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:41,320
Speaker 1: a real carbon cleaning? Have you ever? Do you use

170
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 1: a fuel system editive on a regular basis? Yeah, you know,

171
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 1: And that's and that's and that's all good for it,

172
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 1: and that will and that will help promote you know,

173
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 1: O two centser life, and that will help promote catalytic

174
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 1: converter life. Now, just this week, matter of fact, yesterday

175
00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:00,960
Speaker 1: in the shop Friday, I did four cats. I did

176
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 1: a whole exhaust system on a two thousand six Nissan Frontier.

177
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:05,959
Speaker 1: I'm not sure why, but this is what the customer

178
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,440
Speaker 1: wants to drive. So pron's job is just, you know,

179
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:10,440
Speaker 1: do the job. I got the cats out and cut

180
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:12,720
Speaker 1: everything up, put four cats on the whole exhaust system.

181
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:17,439
Speaker 1: Did I change the O two's Absolutely? Were they working? Absolutely?

182
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 1: Why did I change them? Hey, they were rusted into

183
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:21,080
Speaker 1: the pipes and they were gonna be a chore to

184
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 1: get out. But more importantly, the customers like, why don't

185
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:25,320
Speaker 1: we start with fresh sensors and fresh cats? And I

186
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:27,680
Speaker 1: get that, and that makes sense to me. Uh you know,

187
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:29,559
Speaker 1: so in that instance, I will put O two is

188
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 1: an air fuel sensors on because I want to ensure

189
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 1: that everything is working. I don't want to give any

190
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:37,560
Speaker 1: cat anything a marginal opportunity to become a failure anytime

191
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 1: in the next three to five years. And and I

192
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 1: think that's the perspective I have, you know, Roger, I

193
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:46,840
Speaker 1: kind of take the the idea that it's a system.

194
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 1: I repair things as a system. I look at things

195
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:51,839
Speaker 1: as a system. If I'm changing a water pump, I

196
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 1: dua host. If I'm changing a cat, I'm doing an

197
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:57,200
Speaker 1: O two. If the cat, if the O two goes bad, yeah,

198
00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:00,200
Speaker 1: I'll put a note two on it. But you know,

199
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:02,200
Speaker 1: I try to look at things and group them together.

200
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 1: And I also think about labor costs. If your ROW

201
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 1: two's are easy to get to and you find one's

202
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 1: kind of sluggish and the other one's chugging along, I

203
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:11,959
Speaker 1: change them both, but I'd make sure i'd be using

204
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:14,200
Speaker 1: a good quality Delco park. Does that make sense? Does

205
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:16,599
Speaker 1: that help you? It makes a lot of sense. I

206
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:19,080
Speaker 1: really appreciate it. Very welcome Roger. You good luck to you.

207
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 1: And yours and to have a good rest of the weekend.

208
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 1: Eight five five zero nine zero The car doctors cruise, Mac,

209
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:39,440
Speaker 1: don't go away riding on the wall, so you don't

210
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:42,320
Speaker 1: forget to call for car advice. Done right? Eight five

211
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:46,080
Speaker 1: five five six zero nine zero zero. Now back to

212
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 1: Ron Isaac and Minnesota. Isaac, what's going on? Nine seven

213
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 1: Toyota camera? How can I help? Hey? Ryan? Well, first off,

214
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 1: I'm just calling the kind of u T I called

215
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 1: in on this car. Oh, I don't know. A couple

216
00:10:56,760 --> 00:11:00,200
Speaker 1: of months ago, I learned control valves thinking I had

217
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:02,800
Speaker 1: a two thousand one in there and it was throwing

218
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 1: the idle off, and I put a nine in it

219
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 1: and that fixed it. So I appreciate your insight on that.

220
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 1: And now it's running well, you're welcome, sir. What's going

221
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 1: on today? So real quick? Two things related to it's

222
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 1: getting a little colder up here in the north as

223
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 1: well as I know on on the East coast as well.

224
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 1: And with this vehicle, it starts up fine, runs fine,

225
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:24,960
Speaker 1: But I want to get your opinion on one thing

226
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:28,440
Speaker 1: real quick, regarding a block eater this summer and spring

227
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 1: and planning on doing some work on the car since

228
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 1: it's a little older. And one thing that was considering

229
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 1: is pretting a block heater. And it's just you know,

230
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 1: give it a little extra encouragement in the mornings when

231
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:41,439
Speaker 1: I started, because it does sit outside since I only

232
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:43,320
Speaker 1: have a one and a half carteragy and area, so

233
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 1: that's outside. Um. I like the idea, you know what,

234
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 1: it's a um And again it it kind of proves

235
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:52,720
Speaker 1: what I've always thought to myself that auto repair and

236
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 1: maintaining an autobile is a regional phenomenon with national you know,

237
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 1: national results. The guy in Florida doesn't care about the

238
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 1: block heater. The guy in Minnesota shirt does. Uh, you know,

239
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 1: so yeah, I could see it. Um, I could definitely

240
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 1: see it. I've got a little block heater, my little

241
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 1: Ranger with two I don't know, fifteen sixteen thousand miles

242
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:12,559
Speaker 1: on it. We use it sporadically. We don't use it

243
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 1: a lot, but we'll definitely let it warm up and

244
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 1: we don't you know, but yeah, why not? You know,

245
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 1: it's uh an expensive enough kit. I would do it, okay.

246
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:25,320
Speaker 1: And then another real quick thing I've noticed is since

247
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:28,080
Speaker 1: now it's getting colder, and when I take it on

248
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 1: short trips. When I say short trip, you know, started

249
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:32,960
Speaker 1: up and drive it, you know, five ten minutes to

250
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 1: the local store and then you know, go ahead and

251
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:38,479
Speaker 1: put it in park and turn it off. Um, sometimes

252
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:42,200
Speaker 1: the ignition cylinder won't turn all the way over, so

253
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 1: the engine will turn off, but it won't turn over

254
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:47,440
Speaker 1: to release the key. And what I actually have to

255
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 1: do is let the car sit for ten to fifteen

256
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 1: minutes for the interior to actually warm up, and then

257
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 1: it will release the key. So I'm wondering if it's

258
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:59,319
Speaker 1: just a bad ignition cylinder for something else that's going on,

259
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:03,080
Speaker 1: And like that only happens when it's colder out, I've

260
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:05,840
Speaker 1: got to think that's a bad ignition cylinder. You know.

261
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 1: Either there's have you owned the Carson's New Isaac No? No,

262
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:13,240
Speaker 1: Like I said, I picked this thing up in April.

263
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:16,320
Speaker 1: So I'm kind of working through things. You know, it's

264
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 1: it's so so here you are in your first winter

265
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:23,320
Speaker 1: and and and guess what, it's got a cold weather problem.

266
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:26,079
Speaker 1: So maybe the last person loaded it up with some

267
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:29,600
Speaker 1: kind of you know, lubricant or solving or some miracle

268
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:34,839
Speaker 1: magic miracle whiz you know, guaranteed to fix whatever ails.

269
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:37,199
Speaker 1: You and you know now that it's cold out, it's

270
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:39,600
Speaker 1: just it's coming it up and it's it's making it worse.

271
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:42,840
Speaker 1: I've got to think that that's a a lock cylinder

272
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:47,320
Speaker 1: unto itself. So I would you know, either you're gonna

273
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 1: take that one out and try soaking in a solution,

274
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:51,840
Speaker 1: maybe take it to a locksmith. Can they clean it

275
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:53,720
Speaker 1: and make sure the tumblers are in good working water,

276
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 1: Or you're gonna replace that lock cylinder and avoid the

277
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 1: problem because you know when it gets cold and it's

278
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:00,720
Speaker 1: gonna get a lot colder there for you as well

279
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 1: as the rest of the country in most places. Uh,

280
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:04,840
Speaker 1: you know when that thing, you know when it when

281
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 1: it hits twenty below like it will in Minnesota, right

282
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 1: in Saint Paul. You know, it's it's you're gonna depend

283
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 1: on that keen. It's gonna go snapps um and that's

284
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 1: a problem. So you know, global warming hasn't really come

285
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 1: to Saint Paul in Minnesota, yet, has it? No? No,

286
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 1: it could be nice a little bit. It came over here. Well, yeah,

287
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 1: if it's there, yeah, I uh, I still and I

288
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 1: talked about this all the time, but I still remember

289
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 1: the last visit I had the Saint Paul, oh, probably

290
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 1: fifteen eighteen years ago, walking through downtown St. Paul. And

291
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 1: you look up and all the buildings, you know above

292
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 1: ten floors are connected by catwalks, and you know some

293
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 1: people don't, so people don't have to walk outside. That's

294
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:48,880
Speaker 1: how cold it is there. That's that's my grandpaways told

295
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:50,320
Speaker 1: me when I was growing up. I said, you know,

296
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 1: people that live up here in the north of the cold,

297
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 1: you know, we live longer, don't you. And I said

298
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 1: really and he said no, it just feel like well, yeah,

299
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 1: just yeah, it's just that's right. Well, I remember, you know,

300
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 1: I came out to Ain't Paul. We we came into

301
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 1: the airport and they drove me down to oh Watana.

302
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 1: I visited the folks at OTC Tools at the time.

303
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I got family in Ata, Okay. And we're

304
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 1: driving down whatever that main road is from St. Paul.

305
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 1: And you know, it sure is flat there, and it

306
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 1: sure is wide open, and um, you know, I remember

307
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 1: saying this. You know, we were kind of kidding around

308
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:21,680
Speaker 1: and I said, you know, I said, the weather up

309
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 1: here must be pretty harsh, and he said whine. I said, well,

310
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 1: I said, you know, this is where the planes Indians

311
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 1: lived And I said, I don't see any of them

312
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 1: around and he said, well, yeah, that was two hundred

313
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 1: years ago. I said, either that of the weather took

314
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 1: them all. Um. But but you know, more importantly and

315
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 1: really the the front of the houses and I we

316
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 1: talked about this every year. I think it seems that

317
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 1: they've got a stick to the front of the house.

318
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 1: And my understanding is, and I've heard it two different

319
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 1: ways now, I've heard it that it helps the fire

320
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 1: department find the house in the event of an emergency

321
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:52,040
Speaker 1: because there's so much snow, and it also helps you

322
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 1: find the front door should you ever leave your house

323
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 1: and the drifting snow piles up so much that you

324
00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 1: can't find it. So you know, it's it's it's mainly

325
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 1: for snow plows for the for the most part, so

326
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 1: they know where hydrants are and they're not gonna run

327
00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 1: into them. But yeah, I mean it's kind of for everybody.

328
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 1: We got them all over it. Yeah, but it's it's

329
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 1: I I see the stick. I saw the stick at

330
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 1: the front door of the house and I was I

331
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:17,200
Speaker 1: was like completely impressed. But yeah, and it depends where

332
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 1: you're at yeah, it does, and and and I want

333
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 1: to make this point too, Isa. It can to your

334
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 1: to your cold weather question too. So I'm reading this

335
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 1: week that in New Jersey they're they're thinking about enforcing

336
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:29,520
Speaker 1: the band that if you iddle the car longer than

337
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 1: three minutes, you're not allowed to you deserve a ticket,

338
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 1: and so on and so forth. You know, I've got

339
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 1: to make a public statement, and if anybody wants to

340
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 1: contradict it, I'm more than lad to give him the forum.

341
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 1: You know, I don't understand that why we're so anti

342
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:46,160
Speaker 1: warm up a car. I think warming up a car

343
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 1: not only does it, I believe as a mechanic that

344
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 1: it will extend the life of the car. All Right,

345
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 1: I think that's better for it, you get the fluids moving.

346
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 1: But I also think it's a life and death situation

347
00:16:56,880 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 1: in certain cold weather issues where it's you know, it's

348
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:03,680
Speaker 1: twelve below, you go out and start the car. And

349
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:06,439
Speaker 1: I have seen cooling systems fail as a result of

350
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:08,400
Speaker 1: just sitting in cold weather and you're two blocks from

351
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 1: the house. You don't have that car warmed up. All

352
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 1: of a sudden something opens up and something breaks. Now

353
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:15,920
Speaker 1: you're gonna be in a frozen car too, three four

354
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,480
Speaker 1: or five ten blocks from home? Two miles from home?

355
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:21,520
Speaker 1: Are you gonna really walk in that weather? So don't

356
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:23,399
Speaker 1: you want to find out that there's a cold weather

357
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:27,160
Speaker 1: issue that developed overnight from that car sitting outside when

358
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 1: you're two ft from the garage door and a fresh

359
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 1: hot cup of coffee. So you know. So I like

360
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:36,120
Speaker 1: your idea about the block warmer. It will cut down

361
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 1: that would cut down on warm up time, but it

362
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 1: will also help take better care of the vehicle and

363
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 1: the cold weather. Cold weather is very unforgiving. All right, sir,

364
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 1: all right, hey, appreciate it. Run, You're very welcome. You

365
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 1: take good care. Um, yeah, I don't I'm not a

366
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:54,199
Speaker 1: fan of cold water. But I just don't understand this.

367
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:56,199
Speaker 1: And I know everybody's gonna tell me that I'm crazy,

368
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 1: and I'm it's unnecessary. But you know what, warming up

369
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:02,920
Speaker 1: a car to a clear cut advantage, it really does

370
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:06,560
Speaker 1: have a I think it's I think it's a help

371
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:11,120
Speaker 1: to the car, and I think it is a safety

372
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 1: issue that we don't take into consideration. And I remember

373
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:15,160
Speaker 1: seeing the picture where they talked about and they said, hey,

374
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:17,119
Speaker 1: we're gonna start writing tickets if you're warm your car

375
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:19,720
Speaker 1: longer than three minutes. In New Jersey, the car that

376
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:22,879
Speaker 1: showed you the picture of was encased in ice. How

377
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:25,320
Speaker 1: are you gonna say, how are you gonna say? So

378
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 1: what We're gonna make some of the rules apply some

379
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 1: of the time for some of the people. Yeah, I

380
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:30,639
Speaker 1: don't think so. We're in any of the car doctor.

381
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:51,679
Speaker 1: We're back right after this, welcome back. We're on need

382
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:53,639
Speaker 1: of the car doctor. Let's go over to Brian in Minnesota.

383
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:59,359
Speaker 1: O nine Bubliclecern Brian. Welcome up board, sir. What's going on? Yir? Yeah,

384
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:04,159
Speaker 1: this is a bout my parents flick um. The power

385
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:06,720
Speaker 1: door locks. The only one that works off the button

386
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:09,400
Speaker 1: on the door or the fob is the driver's store.

387
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:16,840
Speaker 1: And they've they've had the car for probably three or

388
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:21,640
Speaker 1: four years now. Um, and uh, it's it's just it's

389
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 1: always been that way, and they got it with probably

390
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:32,120
Speaker 1: sent sixt it. But yeah, just you know they're in there,

391
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 1: they're in their eighties and it's just kind of a

392
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:38,200
Speaker 1: pain for them to have to turning. Yeah. Absolutely, Yeah,

393
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 1: So it's it's it's never it's never worked as intended,

394
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 1: and nobody's ever really diagnosed it all right, so let's

395
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 1: fix it. UM, we need we need a scan tool.

396
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:48,640
Speaker 1: And I'll say it like this, we need we need

397
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:49,919
Speaker 1: to scan tool. We need to be able to go

398
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:54,359
Speaker 1: into vehicle systems and look clearly at the BCM, the

399
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 1: body computer, and you know, are there any fault codes?

400
00:19:57,800 --> 00:19:59,879
Speaker 1: There will be fault codes for problems such as this,

401
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:03,679
Speaker 1: because what I think your fault is going to be.

402
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:05,480
Speaker 1: I think what you're going to find is you've got

403
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 1: one bad door lock switch and and is disabling the

404
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:12,119
Speaker 1: rest of the ones in that line. So you know,

405
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:14,440
Speaker 1: you can maybe start by looking at a wiring diagram,

406
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:17,680
Speaker 1: pull it up and see who's got priority, or if

407
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 1: you can bring up a scan tool, and you should

408
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:21,960
Speaker 1: be able to do two things with the scan tool,

409
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:23,920
Speaker 1: well three things. Scan it for codes. Do you have

410
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:27,119
Speaker 1: any codes pointing towards UM, you know one one switch

411
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 1: or another number one number two? UH. Using the scan tool,

412
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:33,359
Speaker 1: there should be a data pit and it may take

413
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 1: an OE level tool, UM, something that's equivalent to what

414
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 1: the dealer has. UH. It may work in after market,

415
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:41,480
Speaker 1: but you're looking for if you hit the door lock button,

416
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:43,080
Speaker 1: do you see a change of state on the tool?

417
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:46,560
Speaker 1: If the tool doesn't record change of state. Then the

418
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:50,359
Speaker 1: command is never being made sent to the BCM, which

419
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 1: tells us we either have a wiring or we have

420
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 1: a switch issue. All all possible? All right? Uh? Last last,

421
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:01,360
Speaker 1: because it is kind of you know, is kind of

422
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:06,680
Speaker 1: strange to consider that all three doorlocks actuators would go bad?

423
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:10,440
Speaker 1: Can we command any one of the doorlock actuators using

424
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:14,440
Speaker 1: a scan tool BI directional control? Right? You know? Can

425
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:16,639
Speaker 1: we can? We? You know, does the left rear and

426
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:19,040
Speaker 1: the and the right front work but not the right rear?

427
00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:22,440
Speaker 1: Could the right rear be short and bring down the bus? Yeah?

428
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 1: I don't think so. Usually it was a switch that

429
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,720
Speaker 1: took out multiple actuators. But you know, I learned something

430
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:30,160
Speaker 1: new every day. But that's that's basically how I would

431
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 1: diagnose it, all right, I would, I would. I would

432
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:36,040
Speaker 1: approach it from that perspective. I think. The other thing

433
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:38,880
Speaker 1: to just think about when you find that it's signal

434
00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:42,720
Speaker 1: or it's a shorted it's a shortened wiring harness problem,

435
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:45,680
Speaker 1: not switch related, not actuator related. I always think about

436
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:48,800
Speaker 1: on a used vehicle, do I see signs of water

437
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:53,640
Speaker 1: intrusion anywhere? Do I have do I have a sappy

438
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:58,359
Speaker 1: saggy connector do I see signs of bodywork somewhere that

439
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:00,800
Speaker 1: maybe something was an assembled really and I find a

440
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:04,359
Speaker 1: connector that's corroded or you know, not assembled properly, because

441
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:06,679
Speaker 1: it is kind of unusual, it is an unusual failure.

442
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:09,840
Speaker 1: I guarantee you that I give you that. Yeah, yeah,

443
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:13,200
Speaker 1: I mean, I've scene that we're it's one and you

444
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:16,680
Speaker 1: can usually figure out it's actually something like that, but uh,

445
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:19,720
Speaker 1: these three, it's just it's really kind of an odd deal.

446
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:23,520
Speaker 1: We'll we'll do that, and and thank you very much

447
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:25,280
Speaker 1: for that, and say, I gotta little comment on the

448
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:29,680
Speaker 1: warming up issue. Um now, wait, this is from a guy.

449
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 1: This is from a guy in Minnesota. So I want

450
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 1: to I want to clarify. I grew up farming, and

451
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:40,200
Speaker 1: uh tell you what it was ingrained in me very

452
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:44,440
Speaker 1: early on. And my dad, Um, he's eighty three, kill

453
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:47,360
Speaker 1: be eighty three here in a month, but he has

454
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:50,800
Speaker 1: farmed his whole life. And one thing that's was ingrained

455
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:54,720
Speaker 1: in me, he's always when you start up the equipment

456
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:57,399
Speaker 1: on the farm, trackers whatever, to let him warm up.

457
00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:02,240
Speaker 1: They don't. You're asking for problems and you want the

458
00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:05,159
Speaker 1: fluids warmed up. Everything moving the way it's supposed to.

459
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:11,280
Speaker 1: And I'll view my vehicles the same way. And I mean,

460
00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:15,480
Speaker 1: it's just I want to know everything's working, everything's warmed

461
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:17,479
Speaker 1: up and ready to get on the road. I just

462
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:19,600
Speaker 1: don't assume it and get out there and get going.

463
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:22,400
Speaker 1: It's like a pre flight checklist, you know, where they

464
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:26,000
Speaker 1: warm up every plane before it takes off, and you

465
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 1: know what, why aren't we warming up? Well, I'll tell

466
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 1: you what. Show me an athlete that doesn't warm up

467
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:34,159
Speaker 1: and stretch and go through everything they need to go

468
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 1: through to get ready to do what they're going to do,

469
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:40,960
Speaker 1: what's ahead of them, you know, and say, just real quick,

470
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:46,680
Speaker 1: I'm an aircraft mechanic, and speaking of airplanes, I depending

471
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 1: on what I'm on, what i'm doing at work, lots

472
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:54,480
Speaker 1: of times I'll be playing your podcast and it's amazing

473
00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 1: how quiet there's other people might have a radio or

474
00:23:56,720 --> 00:24:00,240
Speaker 1: phoning on planes and music. Pretty soon things get shut

475
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:03,480
Speaker 1: off and people are listening to you. I appreciate that,

476
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:07,680
Speaker 1: and I've told so many people about you, and I've

477
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:09,960
Speaker 1: also told a lot of people about Casey. I sent

478
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:11,440
Speaker 1: you an email here a week and a half or so.

479
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:15,040
Speaker 1: We'll go about that, and uh, I just had a

480
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:20,440
Speaker 1: recent experience with my uh oh five Yukon and blue

481
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 1: ahead gasket, and uh, that's what I assume it was.

482
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:28,120
Speaker 1: And I lost a little over two gallons of coolant

483
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:33,879
Speaker 1: just going maybe about fourteen miles getting at home. Casey

484
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:36,920
Speaker 1: will put in it. Ten minutes later, it's gone. And

485
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:39,040
Speaker 1: I bet you it's gonna work for a good long time.

486
00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I'm sure. And I've told people work about it.

487
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:44,200
Speaker 1: I know three or four different guys that have tried

488
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:48,400
Speaker 1: it at work and yeah, still going, still going. It's

489
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 1: a good product. Hey, listen, I give you a lot

490
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:53,880
Speaker 1: of credit. Brian. You know, my dad was an airline

491
00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:56,240
Speaker 1: mechanic back in the war, and I still remember the stories,

492
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:58,720
Speaker 1: and I still remember some of the some of the

493
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:00,720
Speaker 1: wisdom he handed down to me. And he said, you know,

494
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:03,399
Speaker 1: remember working on an aircraft a little different than a car.

495
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:05,120
Speaker 1: He said, you can't get out of ten thousand feet

496
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:07,800
Speaker 1: and check the carburetor, and I never forgot that, he said.

497
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 1: And you can't get out on the side of the

498
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 1: road on the New Jersey Turnpike and change a flat safely.

499
00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:14,560
Speaker 1: So he said, make sure either case, both of them

500
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:16,199
Speaker 1: are in good shape and you know, I kind of

501
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 1: remember that, um I was it was ten or eleven.

502
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:20,960
Speaker 1: So hey, you have a good rest of the weekend, Brian,

503
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:24,120
Speaker 1: you need something, We're here for you. Thank you, You're

504
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:28,120
Speaker 1: very welcome. You take good care. God bless zero zero zero.

505
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:32,000
Speaker 1: The car Doctor is coming back right after this. Welcome

506
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:34,080
Speaker 1: back running in the Car Doctor real quick. If you

507
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:36,240
Speaker 1: get out to All Data All Data dot Com or

508
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:39,439
Speaker 1: just Google search All Data News, check out an article

509
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 1: in their most recent newsletter, Firing on All Cylinders that

510
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 1: talks about running compression test and what a great tool

511
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:49,679
Speaker 1: it is for diagnosing misfires on vehicles density misfires. It

512
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:51,879
Speaker 1: takes you through step by step. It's um got a

513
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:55,240
Speaker 1: nice chart involved and a very good thorough explanation on

514
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:57,439
Speaker 1: what to look for and some examples of what a

515
00:25:57,560 --> 00:26:01,520
Speaker 1: running compression test actually does for ignosing misfires on vehicles.

516
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:03,640
Speaker 1: You'll find that out at the Old Data dot com

517
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 1: under their Old Data News uh email E E letter

518
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:09,239
Speaker 1: as they put out every month. So thanks to them

519
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:11,160
Speaker 1: for that. Let's get out over and talk to Brad

520
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:14,240
Speaker 1: Long Island with some questions about the batteries and electric vehicles. Brad,

521
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:15,840
Speaker 1: Welcome to the car doctor, sir, how can I help?

522
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:21,800
Speaker 1: Thank you, thank you appreciate. Uh, you know with the

523
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:25,040
Speaker 1: they're pushing the electric caused the whole nine yards. I mean,

524
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:27,679
Speaker 1: I'm on Long Island. It could be nine degrees eight

525
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:30,280
Speaker 1: o'clock in the morning up until seven o'clock at night.

526
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 1: It might be raining. I got the A c on,

527
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:35,120
Speaker 1: I got the wipe is going, the lights might be going.

528
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:38,840
Speaker 1: All these cause figures for that. Yeah, they are, I

529
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:42,240
Speaker 1: you know they are until they're not. You know, it's

530
00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:45,720
Speaker 1: I I was chuckling, not chuckling laughing at the scenario,

531
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 1: but chuckling that. You know, here's it's like we're on

532
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:51,240
Speaker 1: the learning curve. When back in the summer, I don't

533
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:53,639
Speaker 1: know if you saw the story out in California that

534
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:56,880
Speaker 1: the police were engaged in a high speed chase against

535
00:26:56,880 --> 00:27:01,040
Speaker 1: some criminals, some you know, Pursuese, and uh the car lost,

536
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 1: the guy ran out of juice. Uh so they had

537
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:08,359
Speaker 1: a call in an internal combustion vehicle or you would

538
00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:09,840
Speaker 1: talking to a whim in a while back. And she

539
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:13,719
Speaker 1: had probably Alexis, you know the base prices thirty thousand,

540
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:17,399
Speaker 1: and she's had she got the extended battery and a

541
00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:20,960
Speaker 1: couple older options. It was a test. It was red

542
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:23,520
Speaker 1: the red Testla lady at the Christmas party two years

543
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:26,000
Speaker 1: ago where we went and you know, she was into

544
00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:28,040
Speaker 1: that car for almost sixty grand, if not a little

545
00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:32,880
Speaker 1: bit more. And you know, I see Tesla's everywhere. Now

546
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:36,919
Speaker 1: we're seeing more and more of them. Um, I you know,

547
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:39,520
Speaker 1: I think, Brad, the problem is, I think a lot

548
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:42,320
Speaker 1: of the testing for a lot of the new technology

549
00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 1: is being done out in the field. I don't think

550
00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:48,960
Speaker 1: they can account for every scenario, every possibility. It's it's

551
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:51,240
Speaker 1: a lot. It's a lot like to me in my mind,

552
00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:53,840
Speaker 1: it's a lot like the way they're testing driverless vehicles.

553
00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:57,200
Speaker 1: You know, if you if you Google search driverless trucks,

554
00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:59,520
Speaker 1: you'll see there some interesting stories that come up. Arizona,

555
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:02,719
Speaker 1: New Mexico. Go where they're supposed to be running driverless

556
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:08,160
Speaker 1: eighteen wheelers or you know, trucks of some size. Well, right,

557
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:11,160
Speaker 1: and try that, Try that where a cognitive thought process

558
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:15,879
Speaker 1: is required on a seven instantaneous basis. And you know,

559
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:21,480
Speaker 1: I think electric vehicles have their place. Why a postal

560
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:24,919
Speaker 1: vehicles not electric? Why are garbage truck's not electric? Hy

561
00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:28,600
Speaker 1: A ups driver's truck is not electric vehicles that have

562
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:32,680
Speaker 1: a predictable drive cycle on where they're going to go.

563
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:38,520
Speaker 1: They right, and that it's all calculated out. I don't

564
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:43,320
Speaker 1: subscribe to this school of thought Tesla. Okay, so everybody's

565
00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:45,840
Speaker 1: gonna everybody. You're not everybody, but a lot of people

566
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 1: to find a lot are gonna have electric vehicles. Like

567
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 1: I've said, go to Cape cod There isn't a supercharger,

568
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:56,040
Speaker 1: electric charging station from Tesla up on the Cape. And

569
00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:57,760
Speaker 1: what do you do with that? Okay, you charge the

570
00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:00,280
Speaker 1: vehicle eight hours overnight in the house that you're dying,

571
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:03,120
Speaker 1: and you know, but what if what if in the

572
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:04,840
Speaker 1: middle of the night you get a kidney stone attack

573
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:06,239
Speaker 1: and you gotta go to the hospital and you're out

574
00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 1: in the boondocks I think there and you can't sit

575
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:11,800
Speaker 1: there and say, well, Ron, that's an extreme condition. No

576
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:17,600
Speaker 1: emergencies and accidents, you know what, Look look look in

577
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:19,720
Speaker 1: the guidelines. Tell me when the next emergency or or

578
00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:22,240
Speaker 1: or accident is gonna happen. You don't know. That's why

579
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:24,320
Speaker 1: it's an emergency or in an accident, it's an unknown

580
00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:28,440
Speaker 1: and we're we're setting ourselves up for a failure. So

581
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:30,560
Speaker 1: is the idea that everybody's gonna have an electric vehicle

582
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:35,440
Speaker 1: and a gasoline powered vehicle, then what's the point. We're

583
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:36,880
Speaker 1: gonna have guests for a long time. We're gonna have

584
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:40,760
Speaker 1: guests through my lifetime, right And I think we're gonna

585
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:42,280
Speaker 1: have it. Our kids are gonna see it. I don't

586
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:45,400
Speaker 1: think it's gonna completely disappear until and then you get

587
00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:47,880
Speaker 1: into the economy question. And I say this all the time,

588
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:50,320
Speaker 1: what is the how are we going to run an

589
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:53,320
Speaker 1: economy not based on oil? Because that's that's where we've

590
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:55,960
Speaker 1: set ourselves up. I forget who I was talking to,

591
00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:58,080
Speaker 1: but they were explaining to me. And I didn't go

592
00:29:58,080 --> 00:29:59,800
Speaker 1: back and research it to see if it's true. But

593
00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:03,960
Speaker 1: I'll say it that back in the nineteen fifteen nineteen sixteen,

594
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:07,320
Speaker 1: somewhere around that era, we had the ability we were

595
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:12,040
Speaker 1: running electric vehicles and then somebody discovered this black oily

596
00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:13,800
Speaker 1: stuff coming out of the ground. They said, oh, we'll

597
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:16,680
Speaker 1: use this instead. Why not? Uh, you know, there was

598
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:19,520
Speaker 1: it was there was some politics involved, and as you

599
00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:22,800
Speaker 1: can imagine, um, you know, I remember back, I remember

600
00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:25,000
Speaker 1: the stories that back in the day when gasolene engines

601
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:26,800
Speaker 1: were first out there, gast line was so cheap. It

602
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:29,960
Speaker 1: was three or four cents a gallon, five cents a gallon.

603
00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:32,680
Speaker 1: They were giving it away. You know, it was just

604
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:34,960
Speaker 1: you know, buy some dishes, get a free gallon of gas,

605
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:41,600
Speaker 1: that kind of thing. So, you know, I just I

606
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:44,600
Speaker 1: just think that the electric vehicle, it has its place.

Speaker 1: at my check engine light was coming on, would stay

624
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:42,840
Speaker 1: on for a little while, go off, come on for

625
00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:45,000
Speaker 1: a little while, go off, And I thought it was

626
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:48,080
Speaker 1: a gas cap issue. But one day when I was

627
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:51,080
Speaker 1: out in the car and all of a sudden started flashing.

628
00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:54,800
Speaker 1: And once it did that, the started bucking and coughing

629
00:31:54,880 --> 00:32:01,680
Speaker 1: and choking and something. Yeah, baby, it all the way home, right. Uh.

630
00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:04,360
Speaker 1: I took it to a dealer and they said, I

631
00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:08,840
Speaker 1: need a new engine. But you two weeks ago on

632
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:12,920
Speaker 1: your show you were talking about some car and it

633
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:15,920
Speaker 1: was the same thing you know that was happening, and

634
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:19,920
Speaker 1: you mentioned an additive that you used, and because I

635
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:22,360
Speaker 1: was driving, I couldn't copy it down or whatever, and

636
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:25,760
Speaker 1: I was curious what that was. Right, we were talking

637
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:28,480
Speaker 1: for that vehicle. We were talking about Berryman Fuel System

638
00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:31,480
Speaker 1: Cleaner with HEST with their high energy solving technology. They're

639
00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:35,720
Speaker 1: they're they're de carbonizing cleaner, which if you get out

640
00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:39,200
Speaker 1: to UM I believe it's um Berryman Products dot com,

641
00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:41,960
Speaker 1: there's actually a video there that shows and explains you

642
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:44,320
Speaker 1: know the value of heston what it does, and Uh,

643
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:46,880
Speaker 1: there's a real nice vitnet video where they they show

644
00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:49,720
Speaker 1: you other fuel system additives and then the last one

645
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:52,200
Speaker 1: has heston it or their fuel system cleaner, and it

646
00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:54,720
Speaker 1: dissolves the star film cup, which makes you think about

647
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:56,600
Speaker 1: what it does the varnish and carbon so you can

648
00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:59,600
Speaker 1: find that. Uh yeah, pretty caustic stuff, right, but it

649
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:02,600
Speaker 1: works now to the point, uh, you know how many

650
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:06,200
Speaker 1: miles are on this one day? Okay, so it's out

651
00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:09,360
Speaker 1: of warranty because the ten year hund thousand mile warranty, Um,

652
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:13,160
Speaker 1: it doesn't doesn't apply either. It still starts up, it

653
00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:16,480
Speaker 1: runs fine, you know for a small short trip, but

654
00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:20,040
Speaker 1: that runs smooth, and you know the check engine light

655
00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:23,200
Speaker 1: is on but it's not flashing or anything. And I

656
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:26,600
Speaker 1: wouldn't trust it on a trip to Boston. But I'm

657
00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:30,280
Speaker 1: just curious if I could, you know, try that and maybe,

658
00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:33,840
Speaker 1: like like my mother said, it couldn't hurt. Um. You know,

659
00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:35,320
Speaker 1: it's going to cause you the price of a can

660
00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:37,320
Speaker 1: if if you have an o'reiley oto parts by you.

661
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:39,440
Speaker 1: If not, you can find it online at o'reiley oto

662
00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:44,400
Speaker 1: dot com. And so they go ahead, Yeah they sell

663
00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:47,200
Speaker 1: it O'Riley cells. Okay, excellent. You know you can you

664
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:51,400
Speaker 1: can get it there? Um? You know, just just my

665
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:54,120
Speaker 1: question is what are they saying failed in the engine,

666
00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:57,240
Speaker 1: that it needs an engine would be my next one

667
00:33:57,240 --> 00:34:00,760
Speaker 1: of the cylinders? Okay, so so well, so at least

668
00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:05,680
Speaker 1: number four cylinder lost compression? Did did they say how

669
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:09,920
Speaker 1: or it's just low compression? They didn't say, Um, do

670
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:12,920
Speaker 1: you have the car back? Oh? Yeah, you know it's

671
00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:14,760
Speaker 1: it's it's it's the price of a can of cleaner.

672
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:18,560
Speaker 1: You know, it's it's for the ten fifteen bucks, whatever

673
00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:21,239
Speaker 1: it is. It's you give it a shot and if not,

674
00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:22,960
Speaker 1: then you kind of know what your next step is.

675
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:25,080
Speaker 1: It's either go shopping for a car, swing a motor

676
00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:28,279
Speaker 1: and driving another two, one or thousand miles. You know,

677
00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:31,400
Speaker 1: you're very welcome, sir, You're very welcome. Glad to be

678
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:34,400
Speaker 1: there for you. Um. And sometimes you gotta go for

679
00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:35,920
Speaker 1: the band aid in the can. And I get it.

680
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:38,560
Speaker 1: I get how that might insult some people, some of

681
00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:40,480
Speaker 1: the other guys fixing cars, like Ron, Why would you

682
00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:43,799
Speaker 1: say that? Because it works. I mean there's moments, you know,

683
00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:45,799
Speaker 1: the the opening of the first hour today, we were

684
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:49,239
Speaker 1: talking about breaks and how breaks seem to be the

685
00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:51,839
Speaker 1: thing everybody sells. Everybody seems to need breaks. I've never

686
00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:54,760
Speaker 1: I've never had more people in the last six seven

687
00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:57,480
Speaker 1: months come in I need breaks, and they're coming to

688
00:34:57,560 --> 00:35:00,320
Speaker 1: us for a second opinion. And you don't need brakes,

689
00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:04,120
Speaker 1: you know. And the funny part is, and you know,

690
00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:06,640
Speaker 1: one of the people I was talking about prior Betsy

691
00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:10,960
Speaker 1: with her camera was she was told she needed breaks,

692
00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:14,360
Speaker 1: she needed tires. That was the bigger issue. The treade

693
00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:16,880
Speaker 1: bars were all worn down to their indicators, and she

694
00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:19,800
Speaker 1: needed tires. And the tires were just as important as breaks.

695
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:21,920
Speaker 1: Why are we selling one and not the other? Why

696
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:26,480
Speaker 1: are we selling it raw? You know, the relationship with

697
00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:29,839
Speaker 1: your mechanic is absolutely got to be in the top

698
00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:31,840
Speaker 1: five with people today. You know, you've got to have

699
00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:34,279
Speaker 1: a good relationship with your mechanic, with your plumber, with

700
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:37,600
Speaker 1: your lawyer, with your doctor, with yourself and your family.

701
00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:39,799
Speaker 1: And um, I think that's what life's all about. Hey,

702
00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:41,799
Speaker 1: I'm on any of the car doctor reminding you good

703
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:54,680
Speaker 1: mechanics aren't expensive, They're priceless. See
