Speaker 1: help Cats, the Chargers, the Challengers, the Mustang. If it's

4
00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:13,640
Speaker 1: got electronics er and the electronics break, you're probably not

5
00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:15,160
Speaker 1: gonna be able to fix it. You're probably not gonna

6
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:22,000
Speaker 1: do the good parts for us. The car Doctor. I

7
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:26,800
Speaker 1: can tell you this absolutely definitely, you're ready. It's something

8
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:30,040
Speaker 1: between the bumpers. Welcome to the radio home of Ron

00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:34,879
Speaker 1: Andanian the Car Doctor. Since this is where car owners

10
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 1: the world overturned to for their definitive opinion on automotive repair.

11
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:42,600
Speaker 1: If your mechanics giving you a busy signal, pick up

12
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:46,160
Speaker 1: the phone and call in. The garage doors are open,

13
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:48,320
Speaker 1: but I am here to take your calls at eight

14

Speaker 1: five five and now running. Hey, thanks for stopping by

15
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 1: the garage today. Ronan at your service at day five

16
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 1: five five zero nine zero zero. But you probably know

17
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 1: that already because he's been listening to our wonderful announcer

18
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:05,399
Speaker 1: talk about it as he has for these past many,

19
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 1: many years. I'm grateful to have care working for us.

20
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:10,400
Speaker 1: Tom you're there, sir. I want to introduce Tom Ray

21
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 1: to the audience. Uh, he is my right hand, my

22
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:14,759
Speaker 1: right arm, and without Tom I really wouldn't be able

23
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:16,960
Speaker 1: to do much of anything. I think he's oh, there

24
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,039
Speaker 1: you go, there you go, sir. Um. I just wanted

25
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:20,120
Speaker 1: to I just wanted to say a little it, but

26
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:22,560
Speaker 1: everybody asked, who is this Tom Reagan? And I say, well,

27
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 1: he's kind of hard to describe. Um. You know, we

28
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 1: kind of keep him behind the scenes because he keeps

29
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 1: the show moving along. How are we doing today? Everything

30
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 1: looking on the up and up? Things are Things are

31
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 1: good so far as opposed to last week. And we

32
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 1: had a couple of glitches that we won't talk about. Well, yeah,

33
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 1: that was that was the technical oopsies. Um. So, there

34
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 1: was a message last week and I wanted Tom to

35
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 1: be here when I read this as we kick out

36
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:45,960
Speaker 1: this hour of the show. This this came to us

37
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 1: from Jerry, and Jerry kind of hit it on the head,

38
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 1: um Ron last weekend show was painful. I'm sorry you

39
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 1: had to go through that. Diagnostics seemed to be overlooked.

40
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 1: Callers don't seem to value the cost of an accurate diagnosis.

41
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 1: I've learned a lot from you. I have a scanner

42
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 1: and communit or fuel trim and freeze from INFO. Thanks

43
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 1: for the education and all you do. Come to us

44
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 1: from Jerry out of the area code. Uh. You know,

45
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 1: Tom and I talked about last week's show after the show,

46
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,360
Speaker 1: and we said, what the heck was going on? Because

47
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:12,679
Speaker 1: last week was the show of We're not gonna spend

48
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 1: any money on diagnosis, We're just gonna spend a lot

49
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 1: of money on parts. And it doesn't work like that,

50
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,800
Speaker 1: right Tom, I mean, oh no, no, I mean in

51
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 1: your business and my business. I'm an engineer. I I

52
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 1: fixed broadcast equipment for a living, and boy, you can

53
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:29,519
Speaker 1: spend a lot of money throwing parts of things when

54
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 1: it could be just that thing, right, Yeah, you know exactly.

55
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:39,360
Speaker 1: So I've I had a well, we talked about it here.

56
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:41,799
Speaker 1: I had an Otwo Silverado that everybody wanted to put

57
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:46,080
Speaker 1: a trans control module in and it wasn't the fuses

58
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 1: the power of fuse for the trans control module. The

59
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 1: pins were spread because somebody had put a power tap

60
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 1: in it somewhere in the life of this eighteen year

61
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:57,079
Speaker 1: old vehicle and it was causing an intermittent connection going

62
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 1: out to the trans control module. It needed a fuse box,

63
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 1: needed a fifty four dollar fuse box instead of an

64
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 1: eight hundred trans control module that was on intergalactic outer

65
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 1: space back order. So you know, diagnosis is really you're

66
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 1: doing yourself and your mechanic is doing you a disservice

67
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 1: not applying a diagnosis to whatever you do. Um, I

68
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,080
Speaker 1: think what I said last hour made the most sense,

69
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:23,080
Speaker 1: and I came up with that off the top of

70
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 1: my head. Where you walk into the doctor my elbow hurts, Hey,

71
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 1: we're gonna amputate your arm, you know what? What's and

72
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,839
Speaker 1: sometimes not doing a diagnosis working on a car, that's

73
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 1: what you're doing. You're cutting yourself off at the shoulder

74
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 1: because you're missing so much, so much information that and

75
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 1: and in the long run, you're costing yourself money. So Tom, thanks,

76
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 1: let's uh, let's kick the garage doors open. Let's go

77
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 1: over to Tim in California with this nineteen rogue and

78
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 1: we'll get this hour started. Hey, Tim, welcome on board.

79
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 1: How can I help? All right? So, I was wondering

80
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 1: if you've ever heard of anybody trying to intervene on

81
00:03:56,360 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 1: the early failure of a CVT transmission. I heard your

82
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 1: comments about the Nissan never um uh, getting it together

83
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 1: like the other manufacturers, and so I wanted to brainstorm

84
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 1: on things we could do to make it last longer,

85
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:19,159
Speaker 1: like an external cooler, external filter, UM, temperature monitoring, an

86
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:23,480
Speaker 1: auxiliary gauge to monitor the temperature um. The answer to

87
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 1: the questions, yeah, yeah, Tim, I'll tell you what it's

88
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 1: It's not the worst idea. As a matter of fact,

89
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 1: Nissan has a lot of auxiliary coolers and add on

90
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 1: coolers for the Rogues, the Centras and some of their

91
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 1: other cars. Because the heat the way that was, the

92
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,159
Speaker 1: way the CVT works and the way it generates heat,

93
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:44,159
Speaker 1: it's just death to that transmission. It's just it's just

94
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 1: not a great design overall. Now, if you're thinking of

95
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 1: buying one, are you thinking of buying a CVT Nissan?

96
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 1: My business partner just bought one, and uh he's so

97
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 1: he's uh, you know, he will want it to have

98
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,160
Speaker 1: adequate life and so I I, you know, I told

99
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:05,480
Speaker 1: my call int and and see what what we could

100
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 1: come up with. Anything. Uh, an external cooler isn't the

101
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 1: worst idea. Now do you happen to know did he

102
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:17,159
Speaker 1: order it with the trailer toe package? Um? No, I

103
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,360
Speaker 1: don't think it hows that ends the two wheel drive option.

104
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 1: So it's pretty pretty generic because if it was that,

105
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:27,480
Speaker 1: if it was the trailer tow package, Nissan actually puts

106
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 1: an auxiliary trans cooler in the radiator for those they

107
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:34,160
Speaker 1: realize the heat is going to be an issue, so

108
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 1: adding adding a toe package or adding an auxiliary cooler

109
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:41,360
Speaker 1: that is. I can't say it's a bad idea. I

110
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:43,160
Speaker 1: really think it will help promote I don't know it

111
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:45,479
Speaker 1: for a fact, but you know, I know that heat

112
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 1: is the is the number one message we get as

113
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 1: far as why those trans is fail and they've been failing,

114
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 1: you know, eight nine years now, they've been failing a

115
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:56,840
Speaker 1: very long time. Nissan hasn't been very successful at it.

116
00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:01,039
Speaker 1: And by any means you can use to uh, you know,

117
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:05,039
Speaker 1: monitor temperature and you know, reduce temperature with a cooler

118
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 1: by all means, do it by all means absolutely, So

119
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 1: you know, think for weighing in on that, you're very

120
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 1: welcome and we wish him, we wish him success. Does

121
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 1: he have the extended warranty in it on it? He

122
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 1: bought it as a h enterprise rent of cars, selling

123
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:26,039
Speaker 1: off the fleet because people aren't traveling, and so he

124
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 1: got it for three or four thousand under um blue

125
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 1: book for a similar car under those circumstances, and so

126
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,920
Speaker 1: it is. You know, it wasn't ordered in any particular way.

127
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,600
Speaker 1: He just just acquired it as a little mileage used car.

128
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:42,160
Speaker 1: So maybe he wants to look and see what sort

129
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:46,719
Speaker 1: of extended warranty does Nissan offer. Now, I would also

130
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,920
Speaker 1: ask Nissan, hey, and you've got to find a guy

131
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:51,840
Speaker 1: that's going to tell you the truth. You know, you

132
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:53,840
Speaker 1: talk to a company man, as I like to think

133
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 1: of him, Hey, you have any problems with this trans

134
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 1: and no, they're perfect, they're great. You know what, go

135
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:00,600
Speaker 1: go go talk to the technicians that are fixing them.

136
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 1: You know, for my money, the most honest guys in

137
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 1: in the dealership sometimes are the guys in the back

138
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 1: telling you, Hey, we'll tell you what's really breaking on

139
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 1: the car. And uh, you know, sometimes the best guy

140
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 1: to talk to is the guy running the parts department. Hey,

141
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 1: what are you ordering a lot of We don't any

142
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 1: problems with these transmissions, but we ordered seven a week.

143
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 1: Well that tells you something, and uh, you know that's

144
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 1: not to be ignored. So I would I would definitely

145
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 1: consider a cooler. I would definitely consider if he can

146
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 1: at some sort of extended service contract on that. You know,

147
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 1: I would ask Nissan because if that's a five year,

148
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 1: sixty thousand mile warranty on that trans brother, I don't

149
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 1: think it's gonna get seventy on it. I just don't.

150
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 1: I have just seen too many problems, so I would

151
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 1: I would definitely consider the price of a contract. You're

152
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 1: gonna say, do you think they come out with any

153
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 1: software updates, because you know, the recently of last year,

154
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 1: I think UM for fusions that have been out for years,

155
00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 1: they finally admitted they didn't ship right and change the

156
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,679
Speaker 1: ship points. And I wonder if that trend will follow

157
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 1: with CVT s H as it has with other transmissions.

158
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 1: I think they will if they if it's a proven

159
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 1: problem in a large enough number. You know, autoble Autobile

160
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 1: manufacturing is a fascinating thing. It really is. We look

161
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 1: at we look at the way they make cars and

162
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 1: we just think, unless you're doing it, I think we

163
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 1: as the as the motoring public, the guys that are

164
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 1: buying the cars, we think on such a small scale,

165
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 1: and you know, it's just it's just such a limited

166
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:38,960
Speaker 1: thought process. You know, it's it's we don't think about

167
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 1: saving a quarter of a cent spread over a million cars?

168
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 1: What that would cost you? Why don't they make this

169
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 1: bolt a little longer? Well, it's a quarter of a

170
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 1: cent spread over a million cars. It adds up. You know.

171
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 1: It's a real telling moment of how big car manufacturing

172
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 1: isn't a sense. And it's sort of an abstract thought,

173
00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 1: but I noticed it. I was I was rewatching Ford

174
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 1: ver Is Ferrari last night. Have you seen the movie? Yeah, okay,

175
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 1: go watch Ford Versus Ferrari. Great movie, a real telling

176
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 1: tale of when when cars were cars? Right. And there's

177
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:15,199
Speaker 1: a scene there where Henry Ford is talking to Carol

178
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 1: Shelby and he asked him to look out the office

179
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 1: window on the nineteenth floor, and he's pointing towards the

180
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,559
Speaker 1: willow Run manufacturing plant where the bombers were made. During

181
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 1: World War Two, the car business was so dominant in

182
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:33,560
Speaker 1: this country at one point they built an assembly plant

183
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:38,199
Speaker 1: to build bombers for the government. What kind of money

184
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 1: does that take? How big are you? How deep your

185
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 1: pockets you can afford to pour that kind of concrete?

186
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 1: And they showed the plant in the distance, and I

187
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:50,200
Speaker 1: kind of took it. My understanding is Ford all owns

188
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 1: all the land between the headquarters they were in and

189
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 1: the place where they were looking, which was, you know,

190
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 1: seven miles away. How do you own all that? How

191
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:01,680
Speaker 1: do you build something like? And my point becomes, we

192
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 1: look at car manufacturing, we say, why don't they come

193
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 1: out with the software update for this? Why don't they

194
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:08,559
Speaker 1: come out and put an auxiliary cooler on this? Why

195
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:09,960
Speaker 1: don't they do it this way? Why don't they do

196
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 1: it that way? Because they don't have to. They it'll

197
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 1: cost the money, and they haven't they haven't had their

198
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 1: hands held to the fire yet. So to answer your question,

199
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 1: you know, I think about that forward versus Ferrari scenario

200
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:26,560
Speaker 1: of what will it take to make it work? Um,

201
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:29,839
Speaker 1: when they have enough problems with the c VT, when

202
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 1: the patents become pending, or when the patents become due,

203
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:36,720
Speaker 1: or when they're allowed to bypass and the bean counters say, okay,

204
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:39,319
Speaker 1: let's redesign this from the ground up. That's when the

205
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 1: problem will get solved. But until somebody holds their feet

206
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 1: to the fire, you know, car companies are going to

207
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 1: continue to do what they do. Do you know why

208
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 1: car companies make bad cars. Idea, Yeah, why why you can?

209
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:57,199
Speaker 1: So you can trade it in every three or four years. Well, yeah,

210
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 1: they make bad cars because we keep buying them so

211
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 1: until we tell them no more. You know, somebody asked

212
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:06,960
Speaker 1: me once, Oh, I'll never forget this call. They called

213
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 1: up on Arrows. God, it's got to be ten years ago,

214
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 1: and they said, how come they don't make cars like

215
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 1: slant six Chryslers anymore with a single one barrel that

216
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:16,440
Speaker 1: ran forever? And so because nobody wants to buy those.

217
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:19,960
Speaker 1: Everybody wants the latest greatest bells and whistles. You know,

218
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:22,560
Speaker 1: how complicated can we make it? How involved? What does

219
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 1: it look like? You know that kind of a thing.

220
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 1: So um, But anyway, that's the story, Tim. I appreciate

221
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 1: the call. Good luck to your partner, and that definitely

222
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 1: put a cooler on it. And see about an extended

223
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 1: service contract, what the cost might be, and make sure

224
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:37,200
Speaker 1: it's good coverage, and make sure it's a company. If

225
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:39,439
Speaker 1: it's not Nissan, a company that's gonna be around with

226
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 1: a good track record. You don't want to just buy

227
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:43,840
Speaker 1: any fly by night policy. Uh, go back and talk

228
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:46,440
Speaker 1: to enterprise. They might offer something. And then at least

229
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:48,200
Speaker 1: you've got the cloud of a bigger company to work

230
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 1: with as well, and that should do it for you.

231
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:53,079
Speaker 1: I appreciate it. Appreciate the call. Tim. I'm running any

232
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:54,680
Speaker 1: of the car doctor. I'll be back right after this.

233
00:11:54,720 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 1: Don't go away. He drives that way. But when it

234
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:05,720
Speaker 1: comes to fixing cars, Ron has card advice done right

235
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:11,080
Speaker 1: eight five five five zero nine zero zero. Here's Ron. Well,

236
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what I'd like to be. That little

237
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 1: old lady from Pasadena. She was driving that the Superstock Dodge.

238
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:19,080
Speaker 1: Those were the days. Nobody knows what superstock Dodge means anymore. Probably,

239
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:21,600
Speaker 1: So anyway, let's get over to Frank waiting. They're very

240
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 1: patiently in New Mexico Way thirteen Niecean. What's going on, Frank?

241
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 1: How can I help you today? Hey? Doc? Uh? Basically

242
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 1: I would just had little rants going on about. Okay.

243
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,960
Speaker 1: I went out this morning and my wife's twenty thirteen

244
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:39,720
Speaker 1: niece on CenTra had a rear right flat tire. Okay,

245
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 1: big deal, It's it's like nineteen thousand. Else never had

246
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:51,199
Speaker 1: a problem. Anyway, I pulled out to Matt, to the Submant,

247
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 1: to the basic Matt to expose the little donut down

248
00:12:54,960 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 1: there in the alleged tire changing kit. My rant is it?

249
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:08,840
Speaker 1: It's the so called tire iron is like a tire pencil. Now, yeah, yeah, Frank,

250
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 1: I'm right there with you. It's it's yeah, I'm not

251
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:14,960
Speaker 1: because I'm not going to bake these nuts lusters pounds

252
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 1: from the factory. So I just I would advise everyone

253
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 1: to carry around a nice twelve inch or fourteen mins

254
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 1: fourteen inch breaker bar with socker six millimeter soccer. Yea,

255
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:32,199
Speaker 1: it should be mandatory, you know what, Frank, We we

256
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 1: we all think, you know, we all look at the

257
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:36,680
Speaker 1: outside and the car is shiny, and it has all

258
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 1: the bells and whistles and oss. We don't think about

259
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 1: the what if, the break, the failure, the flat, the

260
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:43,680
Speaker 1: dead battery either. You know, we're not prepared for the

261
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 1: emergency until there is one, and then all of a sudden,

262
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 1: it's it's it's an issue. And you know, I'll tell

263
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:54,080
Speaker 1: you a quick story. So so my my one of

264
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:56,440
Speaker 1: one of our daughters is a is a nurse at

265
00:13:56,440 --> 00:14:00,520
Speaker 1: a local hospital and somebody had a dead battery this week.

266
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:05,079
Speaker 1: And she's a good egg as as you can imagine,

267
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:07,440
Speaker 1: and you know, she called me up. She says, Hey,

268
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:09,080
Speaker 1: I'm gonna hook up the jump pack he gave me,

269
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 1: because I gave her a little jump pack she keeps

270
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:13,680
Speaker 1: in her pocketbook. It's a little small thing. It's it's

271
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 1: not big, and it'll jump start a car. And you know,

272
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 1: she's got it in her pocketbook, so she ever needs

273
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 1: to charge her cell phone or jump start her own vehicle.

274
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 1: And she called me up and I walked her through

275
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 1: and this was a doctor. She was helping, an educated person,

276
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 1: and he was floored. He was just He's like, wow,

277
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 1: I've never seen that kind of technology before out of

278
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 1: your pocketbook. And she said, yeah, you gotta be prepared.

279
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 1: My dad taught me to be a good be a

280
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 1: good scout. And you know, we don't think like that.

281
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 1: I don't know why anybody driving a car today hasn't

282
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 1: gone out. And you know, it's cheap enough. Go buy

283
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 1: a ratchet or or as you say, a breaker bar

284
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:47,560
Speaker 1: with a correct sized soccer for your lug nuts and

285
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:49,640
Speaker 1: keep it in the trunk of the car. Because the

286
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 1: stuff they give you from the factory and a lot

287
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 1: of vehicles, hey, it's junk. B It's real tough to

288
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 1: get to, you know, there's there's not a lot of

289
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 1: thought and every department of every aspect of a car company,

290
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 1: and it only comes out. It only comes out when

291
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 1: when you need it the most. Right. I know, Tom Ray,

292
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 1: my executive producer and and screener, as always Tom carries

293
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 1: an impact wrench in his car, a portable cordless impact wrench.

294
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 1: And that's that's not the worst idea either. Here I'll

295
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 1: tell you the stupidity of of engineering. You know, we

296
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 1: think we're counting on engineers to do the right thing

297
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 1: for cars. We had you ever put breaks on, Frank, Okay,

298
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:35,880
Speaker 1: you're in for a treat if you ever have to

299
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 1: do this. So the rear breaks, to take the rear

300
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 1: break calibers all you think it's important to be able

301
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 1: to take the brake pads and calipers off so you

302
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 1: can get the rotor off when you're doing breaks, right

303
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 1: with that would be like common sense that you could

304
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 1: do that. The bottom bolt of a rear break caliper

305
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:55,640
Speaker 1: on a thirteen hunday and it's it's there. I think

306
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 1: it's probably like starts in eleven and it goes up

307
00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 1: the fourteen or fifteen. That bottom ball you have to

308
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:05,280
Speaker 1: take off the suspension cross brace all right, which is

309
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:08,720
Speaker 1: you know, on an older car. It's a thirteen, it's

310
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:12,080
Speaker 1: seven years old. It's nice and rusty and crunchy. It's been.

311
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:15,120
Speaker 1: It's been in New Jersey. It's entire life. The things

312
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 1: are rolling. Tetanis shot all right, thank god, and I'm

313
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 1: you know, thank god for PB blast. I hit the

314
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 1: one cross bolt for the for the lateral support bar

315
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:27,160
Speaker 1: because it's it's horizontal to the chassis of the car.

316
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 1: And oh and that's the other thing. Uh, I sprayed

317
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 1: some PB on it. Because the bolt comes in from

318
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 1: the back of the vehicle, goes through the cross brace

319
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 1: into the chassis. It's a captured nut on the other side,

320
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:44,560
Speaker 1: and the nut is exposed to the airstream. So imagine

321
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 1: put a mounting bolt under the car in the back.

322
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 1: So all the road slush, slop and crud gets thrown

323
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 1: up on it for seven years and a hundred thousand miles.

324
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 1: And now you've got to take that brace out to

325
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 1: do rear breaks, you know. And an engineer designed that. Now,

326
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 1: why can he make the bolt go the other way?

327
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 1: So the threads are behind the cross member, so they're

328
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:08,440
Speaker 1: protected from the environment because they don't think like that.

329
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:13,120
Speaker 1: All right, there's a read Ask you a question here.

330
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:22,680
Speaker 1: Should I got to tire off after the mini tools anyway? Uh?

331
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:26,040
Speaker 1: I got to tire plug in there, got got the

332
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:32,760
Speaker 1: whole reamed out. It was brand new, never used. Would

333
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 1: would screw that? She somehow got in there in her travels,

334
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 1: So I got to plug in there? Should I just

335
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 1: not even bother putting the thing on and trying it out,

336
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:44,920
Speaker 1: see how it works out? Or so they just take

337
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,359
Speaker 1: it to the tire shop and have him to do

338
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:52,480
Speaker 1: it from the inside. Yeah, where's the where's where was

339
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:54,440
Speaker 1: the screw? Was the screw in the center of the

340
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 1: tread or is it more to the outside shoulder? And

341
00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:00,480
Speaker 1: then it's worth the tires where the tires only got

342
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:03,439
Speaker 1: nineteen thousand miles on it and it's got, you know,

343
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:06,720
Speaker 1: like more than four thirty seconds tread depth, it's worthwhile

344
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:08,960
Speaker 1: it should go to a retire shop, have them take

345
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 1: it from the inside out and do a plug patch

346
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:17,160
Speaker 1: properly to make sure the tire is safe. Tire plugs,

347
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 1: and again it's an argument in the industry. At one

348
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:23,040
Speaker 1: point they were supposed to be considered illegal. They're not

349
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:25,680
Speaker 1: not that I've seen any legislation on it, but they're

350
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 1: frowned upon because they allow the belt to shift and

351
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:32,240
Speaker 1: saw through the plug and instances you want to plug

352
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 1: patch from the inside. That's the safe way to go.

353
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 1: Do that. You'll be fine. I appreciate the call, Frank.

354
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:38,960
Speaker 1: I'm on an any of the car. Doctor will return

355
00:18:39,080 --> 00:19:06,280
Speaker 1: right after this. Welcome back. We're on the card doctor zero.

356
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:08,480
Speaker 1: You know, I was trying to explain to Frank, and

357
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 1: I don't know if you heard it, but during the

358
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:14,359
Speaker 1: course of doing those rear breaks on that Hyundai that

359
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:17,359
Speaker 1: it takes some time. And that's the point I wanted

360
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:20,640
Speaker 1: to make that because of the poor engineering on that car,

361
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:23,399
Speaker 1: like on so many cars we see it today. You know,

362
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:26,200
Speaker 1: engineers are not perfect by any stretch of the imagination,

363
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:28,960
Speaker 1: or they're limited by by a budget, or they're trying

364
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:31,080
Speaker 1: to make a number there. You know, there's there's a

365
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 1: hundred of reasons why parts are cars are made wrong

366
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:37,679
Speaker 1: with with parts that we think or we experience as

367
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:42,280
Speaker 1: being an efficient uh you know, long story short. Letting

368
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 1: it soak with a rust penetrant. We use PB blaster

369
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:48,119
Speaker 1: in the shop. Nothing works like it. It's amazing stuff

370
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:50,400
Speaker 1: to watch it actually starts to bubble and fizz as

371
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:52,199
Speaker 1: it gets down in the rust. But I don't I

372
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:54,879
Speaker 1: don't think I would have gotten those bolts out of

373
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:57,440
Speaker 1: that bracket, out of that brace to do the rear

374
00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 1: breaks without some p beyond them. Because the amount of

375
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 1: rust that was there was incredible. After seven years, you

376
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:06,240
Speaker 1: would think that they would realize in the environment they're

377
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:09,159
Speaker 1: gonna go in. Um, you know, just just just tough stuff.

378
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 1: But uh, you know, thank God for PB. I say

379
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:13,080
Speaker 1: it all day long. I keep telling Danny it's so

380
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:16,800
Speaker 1: good it should be illegal because it really works. Well,

381
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:18,720
Speaker 1: I'm afraid I'm afraid to talk about it too much.

382
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:20,439
Speaker 1: They'll figure out what a good product it is and

383
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:22,719
Speaker 1: somebody won't let him make it anymore. So, um, you know,

384
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:24,960
Speaker 1: stuff works. Well, let's get on over and talk to

385
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 1: John in Mississippi. Ninety christ Er, New Yorker. Is John there.

386
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:31,960
Speaker 1: John's gone, Hey, look at that. We missed them, just

387
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:35,239
Speaker 1: like that? Um any like that? Well, let me do

388
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:36,960
Speaker 1: this then, I want to pull over and do this.

389
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:38,400
Speaker 1: I was gonna do this a little later on. We'll

390
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:40,119
Speaker 1: do it now. This comes to us from the folks

391
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:43,360
Speaker 1: at Mitchell Real Fix Shure Track Repair of the week. Uh,

392
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:46,920
Speaker 1: this one talks about a whining suburban. Replacing parts is more.

393
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 1: Replacing parts more than once is a real time waster

394
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:51,520
Speaker 1: for shops and frustrating for customers, you know. And and

395
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:53,800
Speaker 1: again we're back to that thing about diagnosis, right, it

396
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 1: sounds like somebody's not diagnosing something and they're not doing

397
00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 1: what they need to do. Uh. This short Track community

398
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:01,720
Speaker 1: member had a Chevy Suburban in the shop that the

399
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:04,640
Speaker 1: alternator had been replaced, and now they had symptoms indicating

400
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 1: was a problem again as well as a noise issue.

401
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:09,119
Speaker 1: They put their question out to the community and and

402
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 1: the idea here is that the folks at Mitchell one

403
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:14,160
Speaker 1: have set up a community by which you can well

404
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 1: kind of blog and and talk about your individual problems

405
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:20,639
Speaker 1: with the other mechanics and and and see where we're

406
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 1: thinking the issue might lie instead of just you know,

407
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:26,080
Speaker 1: you're on your own. You're not on your own, especially

408
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 1: in the in the connected world. So this is a

409
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 1: two thousand h Chevy suburban. There was a whining from

410
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:33,159
Speaker 1: the radio pulsing headlights. They had done an alternator and

411
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:35,160
Speaker 1: they put a speaker in it and they still had

412
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:38,160
Speaker 1: the problem. So it went on for a couple of months,

413
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:41,480
Speaker 1: the alternator in the battery replaced again. The alternator was warrantied,

414
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 1: the headlights started pulsing all over again, and somebody wrote

415
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:49,160
Speaker 1: down that they agreed that it was a bad alternator,

416
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:51,439
Speaker 1: but they wanted to know what sort of testing had

417
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:55,359
Speaker 1: been done at the alternator. And they went through and

418
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:58,240
Speaker 1: did a series of different things, and they found out

419
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:01,199
Speaker 1: that they had to put a better quality alternator in

420
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:03,919
Speaker 1: it because the problem was in there was too much

421
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:06,080
Speaker 1: a c ripple coming out of the alternator which is

422
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:08,359
Speaker 1: in the diode cluster. There was an issue there, and

423
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 1: it comes down to I guess good quality parts helped

424
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:13,639
Speaker 1: make a car work that much better, right. Uh, you know,

425
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:15,840
Speaker 1: it's only as good as the eggs and the and

426
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 1: the flour that go into the cake mix to make

427
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:20,960
Speaker 1: that cake taste better. So as always, more information like

428
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:24,320
Speaker 1: this available to everyone out there at Mitchell one dot com,

429
00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 1: and you know, you can become part of the Mitchell

430
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:28,760
Speaker 1: one community, and we thank them for posting things like that.

431
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:30,879
Speaker 1: I see John from Mississippi is back. Let's try and

432
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:33,159
Speaker 1: get over there before the break. John. Welcome sir. How

433
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:35,680
Speaker 1: can I help you in your ninety six new Yorker. Oh,

434
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 1: thank you welcome. One of my trunk hinge springs broke,

435
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:44,280
Speaker 1: so I got another one. And what it is. It's

436
00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:48,159
Speaker 1: called a spiral torsion spring. It looks sort of like

437
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:54,400
Speaker 1: a hockey puck um. It's basically twisted around so flat flat. Yeah,

438
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:56,119
Speaker 1: I know what you're saying. They do that on a

439
00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:58,919
Speaker 1: lot of front hood hinges to they it wraps onto

440
00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:03,320
Speaker 1: itself as you as you open and close it. So

441
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:06,920
Speaker 1: the problem is how do you install it? I mean,

442
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:09,440
Speaker 1: I mean a friend of mine tried, and we racked

443
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:11,639
Speaker 1: our brains trying to get this thing in there. You

444
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:14,120
Speaker 1: have to put tension on it to install it right,

445
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:17,879
Speaker 1: so it maybe you know, you always have to approach

446
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:21,720
Speaker 1: and I can't say that I recall installing one recently, John,

447
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 1: So let me let me come from that perspective at you,

448
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:27,199
Speaker 1: all right. But anytime I'm stuck with how do I

449
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:29,520
Speaker 1: install something? I always think, if that car was coming

450
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 1: down the assembly line, on average, they have thirty eight

451
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:36,920
Speaker 1: seconds to put the part on, So you know, how

452
00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:38,600
Speaker 1: do we How did they do it right? How did

453
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:40,640
Speaker 1: they get it done so quick? You know, it's it's

454
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:43,160
Speaker 1: you always got to think. There's the boss is standing over.

455
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:45,040
Speaker 1: You're going faster, faster, get it in, get it in

456
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:48,320
Speaker 1: and make it work. So you know, when you're doing

457
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:51,480
Speaker 1: a spring on any hood, you always have to get

458
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:56,400
Speaker 1: the hinge in the unloaded position. So are you trying

459
00:23:56,600 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 1: to install the hinge loaded because the unk lid is up? Well, yes,

460
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:06,200
Speaker 1: to take You can take most of the tension off

461
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:09,240
Speaker 1: the spring and get it easiest to install by lifting

462
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:13,399
Speaker 1: it size it will go and holding it up the rod.

463
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:15,960
Speaker 1: And then there's the loose end of the spring on

464
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 1: the outside that goes that hooks over one stud and

465
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:24,520
Speaker 1: there's another there's another stud about two inches away with

466
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:28,160
Speaker 1: a slot cut into it, and the spring itself. There's

467
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:30,680
Speaker 1: a flat in the middle of the spring that slept

468
00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:34,080
Speaker 1: slides onto that stud. And once you get it on there,

469
00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:36,440
Speaker 1: it's not going to come off by itself, I mean,

470
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:39,040
Speaker 1: because there's there's a tension on it at all time.

471
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:41,720
Speaker 1: If you were if you were if you were to

472
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:44,879
Speaker 1: take that hinge off and laid it on a bench,

473
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:49,200
Speaker 1: does that change the opportunity or the angles by which

474
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:50,919
Speaker 1: you've got to work with in the amount of tension

475
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:53,600
Speaker 1: on the spring or it would it be the same thing. Oh,

476
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:56,560
Speaker 1: that I haven't tried. Um, I haven't tried taking it

477
00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:59,040
Speaker 1: off the car. I was I was going to try

478
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:04,959
Speaker 1: to avoid that the alignment issues, right, you know that

479
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 1: that would be my thought, because when they're putting it

480
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:12,760
Speaker 1: together on the line, they are undoubtedly installing the hinge

481
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:17,119
Speaker 1: and then the deck lid. Now, the only thing I

482
00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:19,119
Speaker 1: would tell you to do before you go through the

483
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:21,920
Speaker 1: pain of taking the hinge off and as you say,

484
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:25,040
Speaker 1: changing your alignment, changing you know, your positioning of everything,

485
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:28,159
Speaker 1: and you could surely mark everything with a scribe or

486
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:30,080
Speaker 1: just you know, make some witness marks as to what

487
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:33,720
Speaker 1: went where is. Talk to a body shop, see what

488
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:37,120
Speaker 1: a body guy might have to say for input. All right,

489
00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:40,520
Speaker 1: you know, just because you know it's they'll go through

490
00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 1: it more and more. But I've never seen a special tool.

491
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:46,400
Speaker 1: You know, we've done front hood hingges on GM products

492
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:48,439
Speaker 1: and we end up usually taking the hinge off, we

493
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:51,000
Speaker 1: put it in a we find the position where it's unloaded,

494
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:53,440
Speaker 1: will clamp it. An advice, put in a position where

495
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:55,679
Speaker 1: it's unloaded, put the spring on, put it back to

496
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:57,919
Speaker 1: the loaded position, and then put it back on the vehicle.

497
00:25:58,119 --> 00:25:59,639
Speaker 1: And then we've got to go through the alignment of

498
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:02,320
Speaker 1: the of the trunk or the I'm sorry, the hood,

499
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:04,760
Speaker 1: so it's it's probably going to be that, but just

500
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:07,400
Speaker 1: double check with a double check with a body shop

501
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:09,960
Speaker 1: before I put you through that unnecessarily. All right, sir,

502
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:12,120
Speaker 1: all right, thank thank you very much. You're very welcome.

503
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:13,520
Speaker 1: Good luck to you, and keep U supposed to let

504
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:17,359
Speaker 1: us know how it works out zero the car doctors

505
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:32,960
Speaker 1: back right after this. Hey, let's go over to Virginia

506
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:35,520
Speaker 1: and talk to Rich with an oh seven prius. What's

507
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:37,480
Speaker 1: going on here? Hey, Rich, welcome to the car doctor. Sir.

508
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:40,560
Speaker 1: How can I help hi? Ron? Glad to have you on.

509
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:43,760
Speaker 1: I asked, I have a two thou seven prius like

510
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 1: you said, and my questions about the big battery because

511
00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 1: I had some intermittent problems. I brought it to my

512
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:57,639
Speaker 1: mechanic and the climate control and stopped working. And I figured, what,

513
00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:00,639
Speaker 1: summer's almost over, and because winners comment, I need to

514
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:05,240
Speaker 1: get at the climate and he um said that the

515
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:07,120
Speaker 1: unit I would have to buy it would be ten

516
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:10,720
Speaker 1: thousand dollars new, which is way too much, and then

517
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:15,160
Speaker 1: four or fifty youths but no warranty. And then I realized,

518
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:17,320
Speaker 1: and they told me, you just use the display button

519
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:20,040
Speaker 1: over there. But since then, just a couple of days later,

520
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:23,000
Speaker 1: the cruise control buttons stopped working. And I love that.

521
00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:25,800
Speaker 1: I love the cruise control and I think these are

522
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:28,800
Speaker 1: computer related. One of the things that's been happening continuously

523
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:32,159
Speaker 1: is um and it's it's gotten less since they put in.

524
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:36,359
Speaker 1: They fixed it a little bit, but the driver's side

525
00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:39,280
Speaker 1: window and I pushed the button, sometimes it just doesn't

526
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:42,800
Speaker 1: do anything, and and I wait a couple of minutes

527
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:45,719
Speaker 1: and then it works fine. So those are the issues

528
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:50,480
Speaker 1: that have wrong. I know of nothing that's ten thousand

529
00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:54,760
Speaker 1: dollars in the ten dollars, it's a whole new probably

530
00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:59,080
Speaker 1: computer system. I guess it was that he called I

531
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:03,560
Speaker 1: guess that ship. That's what they said. Honest, all right,

532
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:06,520
Speaker 1: I believe you. And so another thing was like, like,

533
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:08,919
Speaker 1: is there a way to redo the batteries? It's an

534
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:12,239
Speaker 1: old car. So I'm also thinking, what should I do,

535
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:14,440
Speaker 1: you know, because I know those big batteries are really expensive,

536
00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:18,639
Speaker 1: well the big the big batteries. Is any of this

537
00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:20,520
Speaker 1: has he said any of this is related to the

538
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:26,359
Speaker 1: to the high voltage battery? Yeah? Well no, no, I

539
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 1: did not say that, but he would no no, no,

540
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:30,800
Speaker 1: he would, but he did say that it since it's

541
00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:33,200
Speaker 1: an old car, you might want to think about a

542
00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:36,640
Speaker 1: trade in or something. Because these batteries are expensive. Well,

543
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:40,560
Speaker 1: the batteries are expensive. Let's start. Let's start there. Okay,

544
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:43,560
Speaker 1: the batteries are expensive. There. You know they're in the

545
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:47,000
Speaker 1: three or four thousand dollar ranges. Is the numbers I'm saying, Uh,

546
00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:48,880
Speaker 1: you know I haven't I haven't seen I haven't priced

547
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:50,920
Speaker 1: one in a while. But you know, there's there's some

548
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:52,960
Speaker 1: simple testing. You could go in with a scan tool

549
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:55,560
Speaker 1: and look at battery voltages. You can look at the

550
00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:58,320
Speaker 1: battery voltages and it will be in the battery system,

551
00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:00,840
Speaker 1: not engine control, and they should will be very close

552
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:03,600
Speaker 1: to each other. In a fifteen Vold scale, you have

553
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:06,680
Speaker 1: to check something called delta state of charge. The delta

554
00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 1: state of charge shows the charge of each battery cell

555
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:14,080
Speaker 1: and they should be within ten percent of each other. Now,

556
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:17,600
Speaker 1: this is a what a fourteen year old car with

557
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:24,040
Speaker 1: how many miles on a two thousand under You know

558
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:27,240
Speaker 1: you're you're right in, You're right in the sweet spot

559
00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:30,280
Speaker 1: of where batteries start to fail on these and it's

560
00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:34,200
Speaker 1: it's not unreasonable to expect you know the batteries not

561
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:38,600
Speaker 1: you know, the batteries to become an issue. So you know,

562
00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:41,480
Speaker 1: if if me telling you we can make this easy.

563
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:44,400
Speaker 1: If if if me telling you that you have batteries

564
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:46,520
Speaker 1: tend to go at this age and mileage and you

565
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:49,640
Speaker 1: having just been three grand on a battery plus install,

566
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:53,280
Speaker 1: if that's gonna turn you off conversations over you know,

567
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 1: we we're not gonna worry about it. Try and sort

568
00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 1: out what your mechanics talking about. As far as you

569
00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:01,520
Speaker 1: know what the rest of it's about. Um, you know

570
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:04,720
Speaker 1: it's it's it's still gonna take some diagnosis to sort

571
00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:08,160
Speaker 1: it out. You know, cruise cannot work for problems within

572
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:13,080
Speaker 1: the cruise to break light switch to you know, I'm

573
00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:17,200
Speaker 1: a myriad of other things. Now. The other point I

574
00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 1: was gonna try and get to is what you're describing

575
00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:24,720
Speaker 1: a problem with the driver's window. You said, uh, problem

576
00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:27,800
Speaker 1: with the driver's window, the cruise and the air conditioning.

577
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:31,560
Speaker 1: Is there a common denominator? It's just strange did all

578
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:35,360
Speaker 1: this start to happen at once? It started with the

579
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:41,200
Speaker 1: driver window and then um, about a week ago, the climate.

580
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:44,680
Speaker 1: But then I brought to the mechanic because of the

581
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:48,560
Speaker 1: climate and they didn't like I told you about the

582
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:51,880
Speaker 1: prices and everything that's happened. And then and then two

583
00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 1: days later it was the cruise control. He's been your mechanic.

584
00:30:55,840 --> 00:31:00,520
Speaker 1: He's been your mechanic a long time. Rich Yeah, yeah,

585
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:05,000
Speaker 1: and I like him. Okay, you know it just I'd

586
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:08,880
Speaker 1: be looking for a common denominator, and you know, I'd

587
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:10,960
Speaker 1: have to prove it to myself so I could prove

588
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:13,680
Speaker 1: it to the customer to say, hey, you know, because

589
00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 1: something here doesn't add up to two and two is four.

590
00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:20,600
Speaker 1: To have three separate systems, uh, you know, to have

591
00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 1: three separate systems fail at random like this, I think

592
00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:27,720
Speaker 1: we're going you know, in two and two is four

593
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:29,880
Speaker 1: all the time until two and two makes five. And

594
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:32,640
Speaker 1: I think two and two is making five here. It's

595
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:35,320
Speaker 1: something something doesn't add up. I'd be curious what fault

596
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:37,520
Speaker 1: codes are in this vehicle. It's got to have something.

597
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:40,720
Speaker 1: It's it's got to have some I would be surprised

598
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:43,640
Speaker 1: if it did not, you know, at the very nat

599
00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:47,200
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I think I should bring it to a

600
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 1: Toyota dealer then, because they don't have all the equipment

601
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:53,720
Speaker 1: of Toyota dealer has. Well, you know, and I'm trying

602
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:55,960
Speaker 1: to find a nice way to tell you that that

603
00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:57,360
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know that it has to

604
00:31:57,360 --> 00:32:00,360
Speaker 1: go to a Toyota dealer, but you know a shop

605
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:05,600
Speaker 1: that you know. Listen, we're all victim of human nature, okay.

606
00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:08,920
Speaker 1: And my experience has been anytime I've seen a mechanic

607
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:11,160
Speaker 1: wave his arms wildly in the air and I start

608
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:16,120
Speaker 1: hearing exotic crazy numbers, he either can't or doesn't want

609
00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:18,920
Speaker 1: to fix that car. You know, it's I hate I

610
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:20,720
Speaker 1: hate to I hate to pin him down like that,

611
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:23,120
Speaker 1: you know. I don't. I don't want to put the

612
00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:25,840
Speaker 1: doubt of seat in your mind because maybe there's something

613
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:28,520
Speaker 1: here you're not telling me. He's not telling you, you know,

614
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:33,960
Speaker 1: maybe there's a miscommunication somewhere. But it's my ignorance sense.

615
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:38,800
Speaker 1: We have all the equipment about that might be my

616
00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:43,320
Speaker 1: next step. Yeah, I would you know, and I wouldn't

617
00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:47,080
Speaker 1: you know. I wouldn't. I wouldn't rely solely on their

618
00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:51,080
Speaker 1: certifications and their credentials. And you know, I've got my

619
00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:53,240
Speaker 1: own opinions about what I think triple A repair is.

620
00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:57,400
Speaker 1: Triple A repair is like a C certification and some

621
00:32:57,480 --> 00:33:00,360
Speaker 1: of the other things that mechanics go through. It doesn't

622
00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:05,760
Speaker 1: ensure or guarantee accuracy. It puts the odds in your favor,

623
00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:08,160
Speaker 1: and that's all it does. It still comes down to

624
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:10,680
Speaker 1: the people in the uniforms that are in that repair

625
00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:13,120
Speaker 1: shop that are working on that car as to whether

626
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:16,400
Speaker 1: or not that vehicle is being diagnosed properly. Go back

627
00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:18,760
Speaker 1: and talk to him a couple of coffee time. Hey, whew,

628
00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:21,920
Speaker 1: did you come to this conclusion? And you're very welcome, sir.

00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:28,040
Speaker 1: kind of take it from there. I'm running aading. The

00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:02,840
Speaker 1: and we'll fire it up, and all this conversation about

639
00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:05,280
Speaker 1: engineers and and and how do they design cars? And

Speaker 1: you shoot me, you know, it's like, let's go, Tom,

00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:12,080
Speaker 1: in me. I'm looking at the Facebook page. Tom. Let's

643
00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:14,759
Speaker 1: do a Facebook review, Bob writes, and he says, Hey, Ron,

644
00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:17,600
Speaker 1: what's wrong with engineers? I have an No. Seven Cadillac

645
00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:20,680
Speaker 1: STS which needed the headland replacement. I spent three hours

646
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:23,640
Speaker 1: yesterday removing the front bumper cover to access the bull

647
00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:26,360
Speaker 1: What are they thinking, Bob? You're giving them too much credit?

648
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:30,520
Speaker 1: You think they're thinking and oh seven Cadillac is fourteen

649
00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:33,080
Speaker 1: model years old. Depending upon where you're living in what

650
00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:35,160
Speaker 1: part of the world, you know, how much rust and

651
00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:37,399
Speaker 1: how much crud and how much grit and junk got

652
00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:40,080
Speaker 1: jammed up in that bumper cover getting that bumper off.

653
00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:42,439
Speaker 1: Whatever happened to the idea that a ball is gonna

654
00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:45,400
Speaker 1: have to be a simple, easy to replace part. They

655
00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:48,440
Speaker 1: don't think like that. And you've got to see it

656
00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:50,520
Speaker 1: in a shop. On some of the cars. There's a

657
00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:52,719
Speaker 1: model Volkswagen Beetle out there. You've got to take the

658
00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:54,799
Speaker 1: front fender roof to do the headlight bulb. It's the

659
00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:58,480
Speaker 1: dumbest thing in the world, and yet they produced these cars.

660
00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:00,919
Speaker 1: And you know what, we're the dummy because we buy

661
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:03,359
Speaker 1: these cars and we allow them to be put out

662
00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:05,719
Speaker 1: there on the road, and we treat them like they're

663
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:08,600
Speaker 1: the Holy Grail. It's the dumbest thing in the world.

664
00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:11,120
Speaker 1: You know what. I'm not sure why engineers do what

665
00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:13,120
Speaker 1: they do. I'm not sure why car companies do what

666
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:15,480
Speaker 1: they do. I do know this though, and I mean

667
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:18,480
Speaker 1: this in all sincerity. I look at the way people

668
00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:21,920
Speaker 1: fix cars professionally and even some of the do it yourselfers,

669
00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:24,480
Speaker 1: and I've got to tell you, I am so thrilled

670
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:26,840
Speaker 1: to be involved in an industry surrounded by some of

671
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:30,480
Speaker 1: the smartest people I know. You know, it's like someone

672
00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:32,239
Speaker 1: once said to me years ago, you have to be

673
00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:34,560
Speaker 1: so smart to be a mechanic. You're smart enough to

674
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:36,239
Speaker 1: go and do anything else you want in life. And

675
00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:39,319
Speaker 1: I believe that to be absolutely true then as well

676
00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:41,759
Speaker 1: as now. That's what it takes to fix cars. I'm

677
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:43,640
Speaker 1: not any in the car doctor, proud to be here

678
00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:46,960
Speaker 1: and happy to serve, reminding you good mechanics aren't expensive,

679
00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:48,400
Speaker 1: They're priceless. Let's see you
