I want to 29 00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:29,600 Speaker 1: talk to you about how to interview a mechanic. I 30 00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:31,360 Speaker 1: was thinking about this during the week and this, this 31 00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:33,839 Speaker 1: real world scenario, happened to me at the shop this week, 32 00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:36,360 Speaker 1: and I said, you know, this would be a great 33 00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:38,720 Speaker 1: question for those of you trying to figure out, you know, 34 00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,720 Speaker 1: if the mechanic you're going to is what you're really 35 00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:44,160 Speaker 1: looking for. And I'll explain it like this. I had 36 00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:46,720 Speaker 1: a two thousand and four Jeep Grand Cherokee that came 37 00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 1: into the shop at our Automotive about a week and 38 00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:50,280 Speaker 1: a half ago. It took the guy a little while 39 00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:52,440 Speaker 1: to pick it up, and it had a check engine 40 00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:54,200 Speaker 1: light on a check engine light fault that had a 41 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:56,840 Speaker 1: P fourteen four, which doesn't matter. It's for the sake 42 00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:58,800 Speaker 1: of our conversation. It could have been a bad widget 43 00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:01,920 Speaker 1: and the widget needed to be replaced. In this case, 44 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,120 Speaker 1: it was a It was a vacuum leak at the 45 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:06,800 Speaker 1: main line going up to the leak detection pump. So 46 00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,280 Speaker 1: we'll call it a widget. Keep it simple so we're 47 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 1: not confusing anybody. And and and the widget was bid 48 00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:14,920 Speaker 1: And on top of that, on top of the bed 49 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:19,040 Speaker 1: LDP or widget, it also had rusted brake lines. And 50 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:22,040 Speaker 1: you know, two hundred thousand miles fourteen years old. I've 51 00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:23,720 Speaker 1: got to be honest and straight as I always am. 52 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:25,640 Speaker 1: I'm I'm here like I am in the shop, folks. 53 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:27,120 Speaker 1: I just tell to you like it is. I'm just 54 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,920 Speaker 1: delivering the message. And you know, if you're really gonna 55 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:32,960 Speaker 1: put money into the into this part of the admission 56 00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,400 Speaker 1: control systems, you've really got to fix the brake lines. 57 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:38,520 Speaker 1: You've got to keep it safe. And they they thought 58 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:40,200 Speaker 1: about it, and they hemmed it on and we were 59 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:43,720 Speaker 1: talking numbers, and it's probably two grand two probably the 60 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:45,280 Speaker 1: time you go through and do all this. Because I'm thinking, 61 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 1: we're gonna do all the brake lines, and we're gonna 62 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:49,600 Speaker 1: fix the LDP, the leak detection pump, and fix the 63 00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,520 Speaker 1: vacuum line that's split. And you know, some other maintenance 64 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:54,560 Speaker 1: items and you know, things going on. Put the car 65 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,160 Speaker 1: in shape. Now, we're not gonna do that. We don't 66 00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 1: spend that kind of money, So we'll come pick up 67 00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:01,320 Speaker 1: the car. Okay. Now took him five days to come 68 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 1: pick up the car, but I get it. Everybody's busy. 69 00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,679 Speaker 1: So the owner showed up with his son late in 70 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,360 Speaker 1: the day, you know, his son. And this is the 71 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 1: unsettling part. His son is a Subaru mechanic somewhere working 72 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 1: on subar ruse or attempting to. And the reason I 73 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:23,040 Speaker 1: say it is because it it made me question um 74 00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:28,800 Speaker 1: his diagnostic approach. By the following conversation, the conversation really became, 75 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:31,760 Speaker 1: you know, because nothing, nothing is a bigger pain in 76 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,480 Speaker 1: the act than trying to explain something to a know 77 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,400 Speaker 1: at all a mechanic about what's wrong with the father's 78 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:40,360 Speaker 1: car when he's there to thump his chest and you know, 79 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:42,520 Speaker 1: tell you how right he is and how wrong you are. 80 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 1: And the issue came back to, you really don't need 81 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:47,720 Speaker 1: to fix the leak detection pump because you could drive 82 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:49,200 Speaker 1: around like that with the check in the light on 83 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 1: and it won't affect anything. And I said, you're absolutely 84 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:53,840 Speaker 1: right to a point you can drive around with a 85 00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:57,800 Speaker 1: check engine light on. The problem is, how will you 86 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:01,000 Speaker 1: know when you have the next big your problem and 87 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:02,760 Speaker 1: what that bigger problem is, and how do you pay 88 00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 1: attention to it? And maybe you'll know when the vehicle 89 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:08,360 Speaker 1: finally stops, depending upon the severity of the problem. So 90 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:13,680 Speaker 1: why plant the time bomb? Well, the conversation continued. He responded, 91 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:15,680 Speaker 1: you know it won't really matter because we're not gonna 92 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:17,240 Speaker 1: use this a whole lot. We're just gonna fix the 93 00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:19,240 Speaker 1: two rusted brake lines that are or the two brake 94 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:21,320 Speaker 1: lines that are really rusted, and not worry about the 95 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:24,360 Speaker 1: rest of them, to which I responded, well, you know, 96 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 1: when you fix the two weakest links, it's like plumbing. 97 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:30,640 Speaker 1: The next leaky pipe that's got the potential to leak 98 00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:33,800 Speaker 1: always leaks next. So you know, do we want to 99 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 1: change all the brake lines? Do we want to do 100 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:37,039 Speaker 1: this one piece at a time? Do we want to wait, 101 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 1: you know, fix one or two and then when the 102 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:40,920 Speaker 1: other one fails after they probably the car off the 103 00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:43,159 Speaker 1: telephone poll or another car, then will fix the rest 104 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:44,680 Speaker 1: of them. Like, how do you want to approach this? 105 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:48,919 Speaker 1: And then I was told that I'm trying to spend 106 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:50,760 Speaker 1: too much money in a fourteen year old car, and 107 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 1: to which my reply was, Dude, I'm not really trying 108 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:54,880 Speaker 1: to spend any money. I really don't care. All my 109 00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 1: stuff runs and it's in good shape, and I'll go 110 00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:58,440 Speaker 1: from here to California in it. I'm trying to tell 111 00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:01,600 Speaker 1: you what it takes to fix a car proper w Well, 112 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:03,960 Speaker 1: that isn't how we do it at Subaru. Well I 113 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 1: said that, and of it speaks for itself, and the 114 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:10,160 Speaker 1: issue becomes and I think the question you need to 115 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,560 Speaker 1: ask your mechanic is can you drive around with a 116 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 1: check engine light on? It'd be curious to take a 117 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,040 Speaker 1: survey to see how many answers you would get, because 118 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,800 Speaker 1: the truth is, and the right answer is no, you 119 00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,599 Speaker 1: can't drive around with a check engine light on because 120 00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 1: you're setting yourself up for failure. Listen, and maybe you 121 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,240 Speaker 1: do this, and maybe this is the type personality that 122 00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:31,839 Speaker 1: can absorb this. But if you can drive around with 123 00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:33,560 Speaker 1: a gas gauge it's broken, or if you can drive 124 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:35,880 Speaker 1: around with an engine temperature gauge it's not operating, you 125 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:38,719 Speaker 1: can drive around with an oil pressure light on, then 126 00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,080 Speaker 1: maybe you can drive around with a check engine light 127 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:44,640 Speaker 1: that's on because information isn't important to you and you 128 00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:48,880 Speaker 1: like rolling the dice. But if you're looking for safety, 129 00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,920 Speaker 1: if you're looking for reliability, if you're looking for longevity, 130 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:56,120 Speaker 1: dashboard warning indicators are there for a reason, and that 131 00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:58,719 Speaker 1: reason is generally to keep you safe, keep you on 132 00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:00,680 Speaker 1: the road, and keep the car wet liable so it 133 00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:04,640 Speaker 1: can do what it needs to do. Short term, can 134 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:07,320 Speaker 1: you drive around with a check engine light on? I'm listening. 135 00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:09,360 Speaker 1: I live in the real world too. I get it. 136 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:11,520 Speaker 1: You know, if you're waiting for the next paycheck to 137 00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:14,920 Speaker 1: get three to fix the leak detection, pomper or whatever 138 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,080 Speaker 1: it is you're working on. I get that, But not 139 00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:19,720 Speaker 1: as a full time job, not as a full time reason. 140 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:26,039 Speaker 1: Forget the morality of trying to cleep the environment clean. 141 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:27,800 Speaker 1: I understand that because I'm not gonna I'm not gonna 142 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:29,960 Speaker 1: open up that can of worms and have the political 143 00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:32,640 Speaker 1: conversation about is it really about clean environment or is 144 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:34,640 Speaker 1: it about making money in politics? And I don't want 145 00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:37,760 Speaker 1: to go there. Where I want to go. Is it's 146 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,000 Speaker 1: important to keep a check engine light off, It's important 147 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:44,279 Speaker 1: to keep a vehicle in proper working order. You owe 148 00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:46,000 Speaker 1: it to yourself, you owe it to the person next 149 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:49,280 Speaker 1: to you, and that's the reflection on society. I think 150 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:51,720 Speaker 1: not to get on the soapbox, but I think when 151 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,440 Speaker 1: we you know, oh the heck with it, it's okay. 152 00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:55,880 Speaker 1: I won't worry about it. I'll pass it on to 153 00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:58,960 Speaker 1: the next guy. Mentality um, sooner or later there's nobody 154 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:00,920 Speaker 1: left to pass it on too, and karma comes back 155 00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:04,680 Speaker 1: and bite. You Ask your mechanic is it okay to 156 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 1: drive around with the check engine light on? See what 157 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:09,400 Speaker 1: sort of answer you get. But remember this, that check 158 00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:12,640 Speaker 1: engine light can come on for over eight d reasons today, 159 00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,000 Speaker 1: and when it's on the first time for whatever that 160 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:18,080 Speaker 1: fault code is, six months goes by, that light still on. 161 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 1: There could be another problem. There could be another problem, 162 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:24,440 Speaker 1: and there could be another problem. Sometimes the check engine 163 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,520 Speaker 1: light coming on will cause the computer not to test 164 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:30,640 Speaker 1: certain portions of its evaporative emission system. So now here's 165 00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:32,480 Speaker 1: the scenario. You go into the mechanic and say, hey, 166 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:35,040 Speaker 1: fix my car finally, I can finally do this, or 167 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:36,440 Speaker 1: I need to do this because I have to go 168 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:39,560 Speaker 1: through inspection. And it fixed the first fault, and two 169 00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:41,559 Speaker 1: days later the light comes on, it's a different fault, 170 00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:44,840 Speaker 1: and they fix that. And then three days later the 171 00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:46,880 Speaker 1: light comes on it's a completely different fault. And the 172 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:50,440 Speaker 1: reason is because the computer operates in a logical sequence. 173 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 1: It's it's looking at fault one that gets resolved. Then 174 00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:56,120 Speaker 1: it goes and test another part of the system. It 175 00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:59,440 Speaker 1: looks at full two that gets resolved. It looks at 176 00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:01,280 Speaker 1: the third or another part of the system, and it 177 00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 1: finds full three that gets results, and it continues until 178 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:09,840 Speaker 1: the vehicles fixed. One of the favorite lines we use 179 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:12,520 Speaker 1: at the shop, you know, is are you sure my 180 00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:15,080 Speaker 1: car is fixed? I'm as sure as the computer allows 181 00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:18,480 Speaker 1: me to be, because until the computer is happy, I 182 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:21,120 Speaker 1: just don't know. I can prove to you why it's bad. 183 00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:22,680 Speaker 1: I can prove to you why that part needed to 184 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:25,480 Speaker 1: be replaced, but all in all, it's up to the 185 00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:28,000 Speaker 1: computer to keep it safe and to keep that light out. 186 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,920 Speaker 1: So just just something to think about. Ask your mccannonic, Hey, 187 00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:33,640 Speaker 1: can I drive around with a check engine line on? 188 00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:36,040 Speaker 1: See what kind of an answer you get? Eight five 189 00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:39,040 Speaker 1: zero nine zero zero running anting of the car doctor. 190 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:41,520 Speaker 1: More information at Car Doctors Show dot Com will return 191 00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:43,640 Speaker 1: right after this to kick the garage doors wide open, 192 00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:52,079 Speaker 1: stay tuned. Hey, welcome back any of the car doctor. 193 00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:53,880 Speaker 1: Let's uh, let's go over and open the phone lines 194 00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:56,880 Speaker 1: at zero nine zero zero is going and talk to 195 00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,560 Speaker 1: Joe in Florida. Line one. Joe, Welcome to the car doctor. Sir, 196 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:07,360 Speaker 1: how can I a doctor? Yes, just a quick question 197 00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:12,320 Speaker 1: for you. Um My two thousand seven Silverado just was 198 00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:15,760 Speaker 1: doing the front brakes on it. It's got rear drums, 199 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:17,520 Speaker 1: which is something the part store asked. I guess this 200 00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:23,200 Speaker 1: truck came with rear drums or discs. Ye. Anyway, Yeah, 201 00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:26,880 Speaker 1: I've got the drums. The front brakes just seemed to 202 00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:29,800 Speaker 1: drag more than any other car I've ever owned before, 203 00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:33,400 Speaker 1: and um, no one really seems to know if that's 204 00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:36,680 Speaker 1: just a characteristic of this truck or if I've got 205 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:42,120 Speaker 1: another issue it's it's not enough to, you know, make 206 00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:46,800 Speaker 1: them smoking hot or what makes you think? So you 207 00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:49,600 Speaker 1: just once you press the brakes and I've got the 208 00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:52,559 Speaker 1: wheels off the car, you literally almost cannot spind the 209 00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:56,679 Speaker 1: road or by hand, but you can, but it's really difficult, 210 00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,760 Speaker 1: and I'm used to kind of feeling them release a 211 00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:02,720 Speaker 1: lot out more on the other vehicles I've owned. I 212 00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:05,920 Speaker 1: don't know if that's a barometer for dragging brake measurement. 213 00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:11,440 Speaker 1: I wouldn't do it that way. Um, you know, yeah, 214 00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:14,240 Speaker 1: I'd want to be sure that the fluids clean and 215 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:17,160 Speaker 1: the calipers are releasing. You were able to compress the 216 00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:23,760 Speaker 1: calipers quick and easy enough, I did, um, And I 217 00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:27,440 Speaker 1: actually I kind of thought, well, I did a little 218 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:30,840 Speaker 1: bit of diagnostic myself, like cracking the bleeder screws, making 219 00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:36,120 Speaker 1: sure there's no hydraulic pressure in there, and there was not. 220 00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:39,360 Speaker 1: They were still with whether those screws were open or closed, 221 00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:40,719 Speaker 1: you know, when you open them and the fluid just 222 00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:43,720 Speaker 1: dribbles out. There wasn't any pressure in there, and uh 223 00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:48,079 Speaker 1: really still didn't release up to what I was looking for. 224 00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:51,480 Speaker 1: So at that point I went ahead and I thought, well, 225 00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:56,560 Speaker 1: let's go ahead and let's just replace these calipers. They 226 00:10:56,679 --> 00:11:01,360 Speaker 1: must not be retracting by themselves enough. And uh, you 227 00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:03,439 Speaker 1: know that was a waste of buddy, because they're in 228 00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:08,679 Speaker 1: the same way. How many miles around the truck are 229 00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:14,000 Speaker 1: those original calipers now? They were replaced in like twenty 230 00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:16,480 Speaker 1: The person who own the truck for me kept impeccable 231 00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:19,960 Speaker 1: records he was taking it in for work done, and 232 00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:22,199 Speaker 1: it looked like every two years when he would take 233 00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:25,480 Speaker 1: it in, they would tell him, Um, these special phonelic 234 00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:29,439 Speaker 1: calipers need replacing. So they were done in like two 235 00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:31,960 Speaker 1: thousand twelve. They were done again in two thousands fifteen, 236 00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:35,719 Speaker 1: and I just did them this month again. Okay, I mean, 237 00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:38,920 Speaker 1: I you know, I agree on older systems. You gotta 238 00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:42,120 Speaker 1: be a little more judgmental of calipers. I don't know 239 00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:45,600 Speaker 1: that that was your problem here. How clean is the fluid? 240 00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:49,440 Speaker 1: Pretty clean? Because every now and then I'll suck out 241 00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:51,520 Speaker 1: the fluid out of the reservoir and just replace it. 242 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:53,760 Speaker 1: And then I flushed it a bunch obviously when I 243 00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:56,160 Speaker 1: was doing the job. You're you're one of those guys, 244 00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:59,000 Speaker 1: I am. It's called proper maintenance. I do the same 245 00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:00,880 Speaker 1: thing every oil chain. I sucked the fluid out of 246 00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:04,520 Speaker 1: my masters. If I have the time right there with you. Um, 247 00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:08,040 Speaker 1: how's the pedals? The pedal good? Good quality pedal? Um, 248 00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:10,120 Speaker 1: I'll be honest with you. It was a little soft 249 00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:14,560 Speaker 1: and I could not get it to uh tighten up. 250 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:16,280 Speaker 1: But then I started to drive a little bit dis 251 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:19,360 Speaker 1: some heartbreaking events. Maybe that helped drive the air up 252 00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:22,640 Speaker 1: wherever it was, so it's back to being good. Well, yeah, 253 00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:24,880 Speaker 1: because this has A B S on it. And and 254 00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:27,319 Speaker 1: one of the reasons I like break flushes on older 255 00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,480 Speaker 1: vehicles today more than anything is and it depends on 256 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:34,000 Speaker 1: how you're doing them, is you're you're moving the hydraulics 257 00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:36,920 Speaker 1: internally on not just the caliper and the master, but 258 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:38,800 Speaker 1: also the A B S controller, the E B c 259 00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:41,880 Speaker 1: M mounted on the frame rail, usually under the driver's 260 00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:45,680 Speaker 1: seat area. When I flush it at the calipers and 261 00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:48,280 Speaker 1: I do it from the furthest one to the closest one. 262 00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:50,320 Speaker 1: Am I doing it through the A B S module? 263 00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:53,560 Speaker 1: You sure? You? Sure? Are? I? I assume? I assume, 264 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:56,160 Speaker 1: which is a dangerous word. What you're doing is you've 265 00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:58,800 Speaker 1: got some sort of a bottle on the ground with 266 00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:00,760 Speaker 1: a hose connected to the bleed here, and you're you're 267 00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:04,240 Speaker 1: stroking fluid into the bottle that's partially filled with fresh 268 00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:07,240 Speaker 1: Does that sound like a description what you're doing. I'm 269 00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:09,800 Speaker 1: glad you asked me that, because now I I bought 270 00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:13,960 Speaker 1: a vacuum bleeder, and obviously one of the first things 271 00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:17,520 Speaker 1: I would experience is air being sucked in through the 272 00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:22,840 Speaker 1: bleeder when I losing it. Well, yeah, yeah, I know 273 00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:24,760 Speaker 1: what you're saying. That the threads on the bleeder are 274 00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:28,320 Speaker 1: so worn out that on on the reverse stroke on 275 00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:31,600 Speaker 1: a flush, it'll or using a vacuum bleeder will actually 276 00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:34,920 Speaker 1: draw air through the bleeder threads. And yeah, and it 277 00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:36,280 Speaker 1: makes it look like you got a bunch of air 278 00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:38,199 Speaker 1: in there. And you know, I'm a little worried that 279 00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:41,240 Speaker 1: they're going in. It can't be from now, it's under 280 00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:44,440 Speaker 1: a vacuum. So here's what here's what we want to do. 281 00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:47,679 Speaker 1: First of all, you know a vacuum bleed where you're 282 00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:50,000 Speaker 1: gonna suck it out. To me is that it's it's 283 00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:53,200 Speaker 1: maintenance on a newer vehicle with low mileage but on 284 00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:55,240 Speaker 1: but on, but on an old puppy with you know, 285 00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:57,960 Speaker 1: high mileage on it. I like to do a manual 286 00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:02,200 Speaker 1: stroke and bleed just be because it really pushes the 287 00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:06,360 Speaker 1: fluid through and works all the hydraulics. So you're breaking 288 00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:10,079 Speaker 1: up all the crud in the grit um your your 289 00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:12,679 Speaker 1: break fluid bottles that you're you know, using to put 290 00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:18,440 Speaker 1: break fluid into the courts by chance. Okay, uh, plastic 291 00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:22,880 Speaker 1: bottles right, Cans don't exist anymore, so, so what I 292 00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:25,040 Speaker 1: would tell you to do is cut the top off 293 00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:28,160 Speaker 1: of the plastic break fluid bottle and we'll use that 294 00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:30,080 Speaker 1: as our flush cup. We used to use we used 295 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:32,240 Speaker 1: to go down to Burger King and get their um 296 00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:36,560 Speaker 1: over the luck sized plastic cups. But they no longer 297 00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:38,400 Speaker 1: make those, I think because they I don't know. I 298 00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:39,880 Speaker 1: think maybe they heard I was talking about them on 299 00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:41,920 Speaker 1: the show. I've been doing it for years. So about 300 00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:44,280 Speaker 1: a plastic a plastic bottle, you know. And then I 301 00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:47,120 Speaker 1: get a binder clip, you know, a black binder clip, 302 00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:50,080 Speaker 1: and I will cut a piece of rubber hose pigtail 303 00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:52,480 Speaker 1: curly cue the hose into the bottom of the bottle, 304 00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:55,200 Speaker 1: and I will use the binder clip to hold the 305 00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:57,880 Speaker 1: hose to the cup. Now I've made a I've made 306 00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:00,880 Speaker 1: a break flush bottle for probably well, the cup is 307 00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:02,200 Speaker 1: for you because you have to buy the break fluid 308 00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:04,800 Speaker 1: anyone for the price of a binder clip and and 309 00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:06,800 Speaker 1: a length of hose, and you just get a link 310 00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:08,480 Speaker 1: the host to match the size of the bleeder you're 311 00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:12,360 Speaker 1: working on. And you're gonna partially fill that bleeder, or 312 00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:14,280 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, you're gonna partially fill the bottom of the 313 00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:17,960 Speaker 1: break fluid bottle. Oh, I don't know, give me, give me, 314 00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:19,480 Speaker 1: give me an inch and an inch and a half, 315 00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:23,480 Speaker 1: all right, And now you're gonna open the bleeder. And 316 00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:26,720 Speaker 1: in your case, because your bleeders are warning you're you're, you're, 317 00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:29,240 Speaker 1: you're drawing air. I'm gonna tell you to take the 318 00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:32,080 Speaker 1: bleeders out all the way and put a dab of 319 00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:35,000 Speaker 1: heavy wheel bearing grease around the threads, and then put 320 00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:38,280 Speaker 1: the bleeder back into the caliper housing. Leave it partially 321 00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:41,200 Speaker 1: open the grease. If you pack enough on there should 322 00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:43,760 Speaker 1: and a heavy enough grease. The grease will act as 323 00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:46,160 Speaker 1: a barrier and help prevent air from being drawn down 324 00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:48,800 Speaker 1: past the threads and coming back out, you know, through 325 00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:50,640 Speaker 1: the cup when you you know, and you're in taking exhaust, 326 00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:53,000 Speaker 1: when you're pushing up and down, get in the truck. 327 00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:56,320 Speaker 1: Make sure the master's full. Get in the truck and 328 00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:00,240 Speaker 1: just stroke the pedal nice and easy. We're not we're 329 00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:02,120 Speaker 1: not looking to play that like we're bouncing on the 330 00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:04,080 Speaker 1: drums here. But you know, just give me a wand 331 00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:09,720 Speaker 1: to one too, nice steady count Do that eight to 332 00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:14,000 Speaker 1: ten times, check the master. Do it again. When you 333 00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:18,240 Speaker 1: get spotlessly clean fluid from the caliper whatever bleeder you're 334 00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:20,840 Speaker 1: working on, move to the next one, and whatever the 335 00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:23,560 Speaker 1: sequence is that the manufacturer wants you to bleed the vehicle, 336 00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:25,320 Speaker 1: and I believe in this case you're doing it right. 337 00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:28,960 Speaker 1: What you're gonna find is, and it's kind of interesting. 338 00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:32,520 Speaker 1: You're gonna the manual stroke like that actually breaks up 339 00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:34,720 Speaker 1: all the varnish and grit and crud in the system 340 00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:38,280 Speaker 1: and pushes it out, where a vacuum bleed just you know, 341 00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:42,200 Speaker 1: sucks it, chest sucks on it. It doesn't really create 342 00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:46,160 Speaker 1: any movement. So you're gonna find that you'll end up 343 00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:49,440 Speaker 1: with clean fluid and a bunch of crud comes out. 344 00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:51,360 Speaker 1: And if you have a clean bottle when you start, 345 00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:54,320 Speaker 1: just to let that fluid sit overnight and the next day, 346 00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:56,720 Speaker 1: or strain it through a paint strainer, you'll be amazed 347 00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:58,680 Speaker 1: at the crud that comes out of a break fluid system. 348 00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:02,960 Speaker 1: It's just it's mind boggling. That being said, Okay, that's 349 00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:06,879 Speaker 1: that's the flush procedure. That being said, as far as 350 00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:09,560 Speaker 1: the original question, the brakes dragging, do you own a 351 00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:13,000 Speaker 1: thermal imager? Do you own a heat gun? I don't 352 00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:15,119 Speaker 1: have a thermal imagery. I have in forred in for 353 00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:18,080 Speaker 1: it something that just measure temperature, um take it for 354 00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:21,199 Speaker 1: a rod and you know, let's let's just go through 355 00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:24,240 Speaker 1: some normal driving and let's let's shoot the rotors and 356 00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:26,600 Speaker 1: see where we are. You know, you'll be You'll be 357 00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:31,119 Speaker 1: three degrees for fifty something like that. That's typical. You know, 358 00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:34,480 Speaker 1: you start to see eight nine hundred degrees, then maybe 359 00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:36,720 Speaker 1: we got something dragging and then we can have that conversation. 360 00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:39,600 Speaker 1: By the way, there are some known problems with these vehicles, 361 00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:43,440 Speaker 1: master cylinders sticking, break boosters sticking. But before we go 362 00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:46,119 Speaker 1: down that road, through the break bleeding flush just like 363 00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:47,560 Speaker 1: I told you, and see what you come up with 364 00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:50,160 Speaker 1: your numbers for heat and we can talk again next week. 365 00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:52,560 Speaker 1: All right, Joe, good luck to you in Florida, and 366 00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:54,760 Speaker 1: have some oranges for me. I'm not an any in 367 00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:58,440 Speaker 1: the card doctor. Eight zero zero. We're back right after this. 368 00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:23,480 Speaker 1: Don't go away. God, I got got got time time 369 00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:26,680 Speaker 1: writing on the wall, so you don't forget to call 370 00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:30,160 Speaker 1: for car advice. Done right? Eight five five five zero 371 00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:34,479 Speaker 1: nine nine zero zero. Now back to Ron, Hey, welcome back. 372 00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:36,600 Speaker 1: Aren't any of the car doctor. Let's I just want 373 00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:37,840 Speaker 1: I just want to do it I've been trying to 374 00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:39,760 Speaker 1: read this for a couple of weeks. UM, this is 375 00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:41,719 Speaker 1: a Honda service tip out of Honda, and we'll come 376 00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:43,119 Speaker 1: right back to the phone calls here for this just 377 00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:46,200 Speaker 1: one second. UM, if you've got a Honda diagnosaic trouble 378 00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:48,359 Speaker 1: code P zero three forty one, which is related to 379 00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:52,320 Speaker 1: camp position censor A and UH crank position censors being 380 00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:56,720 Speaker 1: improperly phased or aligned together, and the service tip goes on, 381 00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:59,400 Speaker 1: it says old oil. I thought this was kind of ironic. 382 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,840 Speaker 1: Old oil causes the cam chain to wear quickly. As 383 00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:04,959 Speaker 1: a result, it stretches beyond the point where the cam 384 00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:08,280 Speaker 1: chain auto tensioner can keep up. The extra slack causes 385 00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:11,639 Speaker 1: the valve timing control actual wator and the exhaust camshafts 386 00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:14,359 Speaker 1: brocket the leg behind and you wind up with DTC 387 00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:17,600 Speaker 1: P zero three forty one. They've put together a job 388 00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:20,520 Speaker 1: ad consisting of a float chart and special troubleshooting procedure. 389 00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:23,680 Speaker 1: In other words, everybody's diagnosing it wrong and the manufacturers 390 00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:25,919 Speaker 1: tired of paying warranty when they don't have to. UM, 391 00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:28,920 Speaker 1: you will check for a damaged or stretched timing chain 392 00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:31,760 Speaker 1: by measuring the cam chain auto tension or rod length. 393 00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:35,119 Speaker 1: If it's more than thirteen point five millimeters, you've got 394 00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:38,080 Speaker 1: a bad cam chain. So look at the look at 395 00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:40,480 Speaker 1: the measurements you have to do today. Thirteen and a 396 00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:43,360 Speaker 1: half millimeters. I don't have anything that would measure half 397 00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:45,320 Speaker 1: a million. You're not the d of the veneer um. 398 00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:47,040 Speaker 1: And at that it's it's a guest. So if it's 399 00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:50,960 Speaker 1: thirteen point three millimeters, is it bad? And then the 400 00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:53,320 Speaker 1: other question, I've got it. So they're saying old oil, 401 00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:56,080 Speaker 1: what's their definition of old oil? My god, Honda wants 402 00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:59,560 Speaker 1: seventy ten thousand miles on oil changes, and now they're 403 00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:01,600 Speaker 1: talking of have problems with the timing change and the 404 00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:06,560 Speaker 1: actual wator controls as a possible being affected by old oil. 405 00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:09,640 Speaker 1: Why can't we just change oil at normal intervals? Why 406 00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:11,560 Speaker 1: can't we just say, hey, we made a machine, it's 407 00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:14,399 Speaker 1: it's got to get serviced on a regular basis. In life, 408 00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:17,120 Speaker 1: would get a whole lot simpler. I just I don't 409 00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:18,520 Speaker 1: get it. But if you've got a hunt and you 410 00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:21,200 Speaker 1: got a P zero three forty one, you probably didn't 411 00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:23,280 Speaker 1: change the oil enough. Let's go and talk to Steve 412 00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:25,920 Speaker 1: and Nashua. Is that Nashville and Nashua, New Hampshire. Steve, 413 00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:28,560 Speaker 1: Welcome to the car doctor, sir. How can I help? Hi? Hi? Ron? 414 00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:30,760 Speaker 1: How are you doing this afternoon? I'm rolling along, man, 415 00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:32,719 Speaker 1: I'm having a great time, had a great week, and uh, 416 00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:36,240 Speaker 1: you know here I am. What's cooking? Excellent? Haven't talked 417 00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:38,840 Speaker 1: to you since the early nineties. I don't think YouTube 418 00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:42,040 Speaker 1: of face blast was around back then. Yeah, well, I'll 419 00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:43,840 Speaker 1: tell you what it's And you know, it's scary. People 420 00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:46,040 Speaker 1: say those things to me and I'm thinking, yeah, it 421 00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:48,680 Speaker 1: was the nineties. It's like, I think I've been doing 422 00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:52,200 Speaker 1: this too long. I'm not really sure. It's just you know, 423 00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:55,200 Speaker 1: you're twenty seven. Here we are. As long as you 424 00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:57,879 Speaker 1: enjoy what you do. I love it every day. I 425 00:20:57,920 --> 00:20:59,920 Speaker 1: love it every day, Stevie, I really what's going on? 426 00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:04,159 Speaker 1: Not too much? Uh? Service vehicle low force Chevy Tahoe 427 00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:08,679 Speaker 1: Z seventy one my daily I driver mostly highway miles. Uh, 428 00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:13,600 Speaker 1: I'm approaching just hit two k motor runs strong. I've 429 00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:16,800 Speaker 1: done a lot of maintenance to it, intake gaskets, brakes 430 00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:21,000 Speaker 1: all around. Um, I just picked up just to air 431 00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:23,359 Speaker 1: on the side of caution. I think I'm running on 432 00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:27,840 Speaker 1: borrowed time as far as the fuel pupp is concerned. Yeah, 433 00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:30,800 Speaker 1: I didn't want to go with a cheap one. Uh 434 00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:35,560 Speaker 1: so I did pick up a Delphi and I was 435 00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:38,040 Speaker 1: wondering if you could, you know, potentially possibly give me 436 00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:41,399 Speaker 1: some point is on, I'm gonna drop the tank. But 437 00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:44,440 Speaker 1: in terms of release, releasing fuel pressure and stuff like that, 438 00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:48,439 Speaker 1: are you are You're changing the entire pump module, right, 439 00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:52,800 Speaker 1: Steve Yes, with the fuel filter inside of the and 440 00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:54,959 Speaker 1: and it has the sender, and it has the FTP 441 00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:57,280 Speaker 1: the fuel tank pressure sensor built into the top of it. 442 00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:01,000 Speaker 1: This is a complete correct Yes, so you know this 443 00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:02,560 Speaker 1: is a tough thing to do on your back. Are 444 00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:05,240 Speaker 1: you planning to do this on your back? Yes, I'm 445 00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:07,560 Speaker 1: in the driveway. I've got some good Jack's lifts, I've 446 00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:10,359 Speaker 1: get all the tools. Twenty years work until for a while. 447 00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:13,000 Speaker 1: So yeah, it's it's it's it's kind of a hump 448 00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:15,159 Speaker 1: to get up around the top of the tank because 449 00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:17,600 Speaker 1: you've got to release the fuel lines or some plastic 450 00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:19,920 Speaker 1: you know, retainer clips that have to come out to 451 00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:22,480 Speaker 1: get the lines off, and it's you really you know, 452 00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:24,879 Speaker 1: you can try it by the brail method, but you know, 453 00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:26,760 Speaker 1: to be able to get your face right on it. 454 00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:29,960 Speaker 1: It really works a whole lot easier. Uh. You know, 455 00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:32,320 Speaker 1: we typically will pull the drive shaft, you know, try 456 00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:35,240 Speaker 1: and wedge ourselves up in there, and you know, see 457 00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:36,920 Speaker 1: what we have to see and we'll be using it. 458 00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:39,119 Speaker 1: We'll be using a special I have actually have a 459 00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:42,040 Speaker 1: fuel tank handle or jack that I can strap the 460 00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:44,280 Speaker 1: tank to and lower it down a couple of inches. 461 00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:45,680 Speaker 1: You know, get my head up in there, see what 462 00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:48,080 Speaker 1: I gotta see on do the clip whatever style it 463 00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:51,840 Speaker 1: is unplugged. The electrical You've also you're you're also likely 464 00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:55,639 Speaker 1: going to have some rollover control valve hoses and some 465 00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:59,120 Speaker 1: event or vapor lines at the corners of the tank. 466 00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:02,200 Speaker 1: You've got to be aware of and you know, be mindful. 467 00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:05,359 Speaker 1: Fourteen years old, all that plastic is gonna be brittle, 468 00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:08,240 Speaker 1: and you know you wanna you wanna kind of try 469 00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:10,639 Speaker 1: and take it easy. Um, it wouldn't be out of 470 00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:12,879 Speaker 1: the realm, however you get up there. It wouldn't be 471 00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:14,320 Speaker 1: out of the room. To have a little can of 472 00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:18,800 Speaker 1: either carburetor cleaner or silicon spray. One or the other 473 00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:20,760 Speaker 1: is gonna be able to end. You know. Sometimes I'll 474 00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:23,119 Speaker 1: take a pick tool or right angle pick tool, and 475 00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:24,960 Speaker 1: I'll kind of pull up on the hose and get 476 00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:27,520 Speaker 1: a little and let it, you know, shoot a little 477 00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:29,760 Speaker 1: you know, spray in there one or the other and 478 00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:31,399 Speaker 1: let it soften the rubber up a little bit so 479 00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:32,880 Speaker 1: I can get it off the end of the tank 480 00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:38,320 Speaker 1: without breaking it. Now, the alternative, just to throw this 481 00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:43,120 Speaker 1: out there, is we have switched on some vehicles. We're 482 00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:48,159 Speaker 1: pulling the beds off the truck. I know. Yeah, And 483 00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:51,360 Speaker 1: that's I gotta tell you. It's it's, it's it's it's 484 00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:53,960 Speaker 1: a lot less work than it looks like. Usually I 485 00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:56,560 Speaker 1: can get the bed off the Ranger in twenty minutes. 486 00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:00,760 Speaker 1: It's it's it's six screws that hold bed to the frame, 487 00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:03,359 Speaker 1: and it's the three little seven thirty second screws that 488 00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:05,480 Speaker 1: hold the fuel filler neck to the body and the 489 00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:07,960 Speaker 1: and undo the undo the wiring harness connection in the 490 00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:09,480 Speaker 1: back where the you know for the tail lights and 491 00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:12,200 Speaker 1: the directionals and the and the and the beds off. 492 00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:15,600 Speaker 1: I mean we're at the fuel pump, and I mean 493 00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:17,440 Speaker 1: I think we just did a fuel pump on the 494 00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:20,600 Speaker 1: Ranger last month, and uh um, I think we did 495 00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:22,600 Speaker 1: the whole job in an hour and fifteen minutes. It 496 00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:25,840 Speaker 1: was just it was just quick, uh, you know, and 497 00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:29,920 Speaker 1: it wasn't painful. Now you know, in your case you're 498 00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:32,520 Speaker 1: getting an overhead dollar or an overhead engine hoist of 499 00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:36,360 Speaker 1: some type. So you know, it's it's like I said, 500 00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:38,680 Speaker 1: it's a tradeoff, which which way do you want to go? 501 00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:42,119 Speaker 1: The thing you've got to be concerned about is, you know, 502 00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:45,119 Speaker 1: up in New Hampshire, what is the underside of that 503 00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:48,920 Speaker 1: vehicle look like? What's actually good? I had it RUSS 504 00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:52,200 Speaker 1: coded many years ago at a monthly pass to the 505 00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:55,960 Speaker 1: car washingback. All right, then you know that's that's because 506 00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:59,439 Speaker 1: that's that's always my other always, always my other factor, 507 00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:02,360 Speaker 1: my the fact they're always one or the other, and uh, 508 00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:05,840 Speaker 1: you know, just just to be mindful. But if if 509 00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:10,239 Speaker 1: you can find an engine hoist that will bring it up, 510 00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:13,080 Speaker 1: you've got to remember you've got to clear You've got 511 00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:14,760 Speaker 1: to get up high enough that you could pull the 512 00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:17,320 Speaker 1: truck forward or push the truck forward so that you 513 00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:20,680 Speaker 1: clear the wheel wells. You know, sometimes that's not the 514 00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:22,399 Speaker 1: worst idea of the worst way to do it. Just 515 00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:24,359 Speaker 1: keep in mind you've got to worry about weight and 516 00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:26,960 Speaker 1: and and it tipping forward. You know, in the shop, 517 00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:28,840 Speaker 1: we've got an I beam with an engine dolly on it. 518 00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:30,959 Speaker 1: It's just a whole lot easier. It just goes up 519 00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:34,000 Speaker 1: and push the truck forward to our change and uh, 520 00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:39,000 Speaker 1: you know, back together. Quickest way to relieve fuel pressure 521 00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:42,240 Speaker 1: on that should I go to the fuel pump relay 522 00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:45,600 Speaker 1: and pull it and then crank the vehicle over. You 523 00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:48,560 Speaker 1: can it's you know, it's probably it's likely going to 524 00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:50,560 Speaker 1: time out and not not do anything as far as 525 00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:53,440 Speaker 1: energizing the pump um after it sees a certain amount 526 00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:54,920 Speaker 1: of time. What I would tell you is, if you 527 00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:58,040 Speaker 1: can find the fuel pressure straighter, um, I would just 528 00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:00,119 Speaker 1: don't have to pull the relay, Just find the eight 529 00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:02,640 Speaker 1: or take a rag, wrap a screw wrap a rag 530 00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:06,440 Speaker 1: around a screw driver and you know some safety glasses. 531 00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:08,879 Speaker 1: Obviously take the cap off to press the plunger on 532 00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:12,400 Speaker 1: the strader. The rag will absorb whatever sprits is out 533 00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:14,880 Speaker 1: and um, you're good to go. I mean. The other 534 00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:16,359 Speaker 1: thing is if if if you do this on a 535 00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:18,920 Speaker 1: Saturday morning, just park it Friday night. By the time 536 00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:21,959 Speaker 1: you get to it Saturday morning, I really doubt it's 537 00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:23,800 Speaker 1: gonna have any pressure you can, you can, you know, 538 00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:27,680 Speaker 1: plunge the strader, but chances are there's gonna be nothing there.

Welcome to the car doctor, sir. 560 00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:35,000 Speaker 1: How can I help? Hello? Ron, I was telling tom 561 00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:38,639 Speaker 1: My Butt a two thousand and five silverado Um last 562 00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:42,920 Speaker 1: small and I all tires would change at the time, 563 00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:46,280 Speaker 1: and the deal and I go over about three months 564 00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:53,440 Speaker 1: and the whole center of the rim broke just area, 565 00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:55,600 Speaker 1: but the whole center of the rim right, So in 566 00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:59,800 Speaker 1: other words, the rim separated from the spokes, so to speak. 567 00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:03,320 Speaker 1: So the wheel fell off kind of sort of yeah. Um. 568 00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:06,400 Speaker 1: The reason for that was they have a cover over 569 00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:11,080 Speaker 1: the over the rim on the two thousand five, and 570 00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:13,120 Speaker 1: I think it kept the salved in there, and over 571 00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:16,879 Speaker 1: the years it just eat right to it. So I 572 00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:20,879 Speaker 1: replaced all the all the rooms with the aluminum, and 573 00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:23,080 Speaker 1: I just I just wanted to to, you know, if 574 00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:27,080 Speaker 1: somebody's going fast and that happens, there's a moment. I 575 00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:29,800 Speaker 1: gotta tell you. I saw that. I came up on 576 00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:33,399 Speaker 1: that here in Jersey on seventeen North and Paramus, a 577 00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:37,840 Speaker 1: late model Honda Um was doing that and I got 578 00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:40,480 Speaker 1: there as the fire crew was cleaning it up, and 579 00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:43,640 Speaker 1: it's really a scary sight. Because not only seeing the 580 00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:47,160 Speaker 1: wheel come off, or or the ensuing chaos and the 581 00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:48,959 Speaker 1: smoke and get the guy out of the car thing. 582 00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:51,720 Speaker 1: But when I finally got to the point where I 583 00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:54,960 Speaker 1: was up up on the accident scene, it's very strange. 584 00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:59,320 Speaker 1: You see the tire mounted on the aluminum rim, still 585 00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:03,480 Speaker 1: holding air, but there's no center. The center is completely 586 00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:07,480 Speaker 1: gune because it's still on the car. It actually broke 587 00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:11,840 Speaker 1: and you're like, wow, uh you you got to see 588 00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:14,880 Speaker 1: the skid mark on the road. Probably the guy too, 589 00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:17,880 Speaker 1: um when it happened, but it just it was just 590 00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:22,520 Speaker 1: like holy smowy. I've and I think it's a problem, 591 00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:24,320 Speaker 1: but I don't think it's just chevs. And no, there's 592 00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:26,960 Speaker 1: there's no bulletins, there's no recalls on anything like that. 593 00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:29,680 Speaker 1: I think, you know, I think one of the and 594 00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:32,040 Speaker 1: I just had this conversation this morning at the chiropractor 595 00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:35,040 Speaker 1: with someone um that I think it's the chemicals that 596 00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:37,360 Speaker 1: we're putting on the road. Obviously, it's the chemicals were 597 00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:39,440 Speaker 1: putting on the road to to beat up salt and 598 00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:42,840 Speaker 1: you know, ice and the bad weather, and it's it's 599 00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:47,280 Speaker 1: gonna be a continuing chronic problem, you know, from an 600 00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:50,640 Speaker 1: extra cover on the outside of it. Um, yeah, I 601 00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:53,720 Speaker 1: think that kept the salt in over the years. Sounds logical, 602 00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:56,040 Speaker 1: and I think it also makes the case for after 603 00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:58,680 Speaker 1: after bad weather, you've really got to get the car 604 00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:00,920 Speaker 1: washed somehow. And it's not just washing the outside, it's 605 00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:05,480 Speaker 1: washing the undercarriage too, you know. Um. It kind of 606 00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:07,640 Speaker 1: makes me wonder what's gonna happen. And I hate to 607 00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:10,240 Speaker 1: start this line of conversation, but what will happen with 608 00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:13,320 Speaker 1: the self driving car? I wonder how quick that self 609 00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:15,680 Speaker 1: driving car will be to react, to slow down and 610 00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:19,840 Speaker 1: take control in an accident situation like that. I would 611 00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:23,040 Speaker 1: love to see a simulated wheel falling off a self 612 00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:27,560 Speaker 1: driving car and how it can control that that. Well, 613 00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:30,240 Speaker 1: maybe if they're listening, so let's see if Ellen's listening 614 00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:32,400 Speaker 1: to me. So But anyway, Bob, that's the deal. I 615 00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:34,640 Speaker 1: wish you'll luck and thanks for tuning in being part 616 00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:39,120 Speaker 1: of the group.

Tony, welcome 624 00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:31,480 Speaker 1: to the car Doctor. How can I help you today? Yes, sir? Yeah, 625 00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:38,200 Speaker 1: story actually but yeah, yes sir. UM. I own a 626 00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:44,840 Speaker 1: nineties six gmc UH pick up one time, and it's 627 00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:48,480 Speaker 1: pretty confusing here. What's going on with it? Um? I 628 00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:53,120 Speaker 1: heard you mentioned something about this won't before. Um. It 629 00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:56,000 Speaker 1: only has a hundred eight thousand miles on it, but 630 00:31:56,680 --> 00:32:03,640 Speaker 1: just broke great, But I'm after about ten minutes of 631 00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:08,840 Speaker 1: running weather sideline or whatever its uh, my heat gage 632 00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:15,000 Speaker 1: will go right off and my cold my heater air 633 00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:18,520 Speaker 1: will turn cold. And as soon as that happens, my 634 00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:22,120 Speaker 1: heat gage will go right off and it gets almost 635 00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:24,800 Speaker 1: to the red where my gauge will come on my 636 00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:28,920 Speaker 1: dash or command see checked ages. So the first time 637 00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:32,120 Speaker 1: it happened to me, I set it right down, and 638 00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:35,520 Speaker 1: I popped the hood and I could lay my hand 639 00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:40,640 Speaker 1: right on the velf cover sniping hop and I changed 640 00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:45,840 Speaker 1: the third stat I flushed the heater core and I 641 00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:49,600 Speaker 1: frust the radiator and did it put it all back 642 00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:56,320 Speaker 1: with non silicate radiator fluid and thought, there, that's probably 643 00:32:56,360 --> 00:33:00,320 Speaker 1: it and it's still doing it. Well, let me ask you. 644 00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:02,560 Speaker 1: Let me ask you this. When you see the temperature 645 00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:07,760 Speaker 1: gauge spike up, it's it's it's so let's let let 646 00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:09,480 Speaker 1: me ask the question this way. You get in the 647 00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:13,560 Speaker 1: truck tomorrow. Okay, it's cold, turn the heat on low. 648 00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:17,960 Speaker 1: When you first start out, it's gonna blow cold air. Correct. Right, 649 00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:21,640 Speaker 1: So when you see the temperature gauge spike up to 650 00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:25,640 Speaker 1: where it looks like it's overheating, the temperature gauge is 651 00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:29,840 Speaker 1: still the heater is still blowing cold or cool air. Correct. 652 00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:35,120 Speaker 1: Uh No. Once, once the heat gauge goes up, I 653 00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:39,880 Speaker 1: get my hot air. And sometimes it'll get up around 654 00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:43,880 Speaker 1: two fifty. Well, now that I know that the that 655 00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:48,760 Speaker 1: by touching the mortar it's not hot, I'll I'll cringe 656 00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:51,440 Speaker 1: a little bit because it's getting in the red. But 657 00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:55,120 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, I'll watch my gags drew operate 658 00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:59,600 Speaker 1: down back to like one. And when it does it 659 00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:04,200 Speaker 1: my mulderable like muscle. It'll move like that, and I'll 660 00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:07,280 Speaker 1: watch that gates drop right back down. I wonder where 661 00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:09,799 Speaker 1: you're I wonder where your temperature sensor is. What engine? 662 00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:13,360 Speaker 1: Is this the five seven? So this is the temperature 663 00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:16,920 Speaker 1: sensor is I believe between cylinders one and three on 664 00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:21,440 Speaker 1: the driver's side, if memory serves correct. I don't think 665 00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:24,720 Speaker 1: it's up in the manifold that year. And I'm wondering 666 00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:28,120 Speaker 1: if you're seeing a spike in temperature. I wonder, and 667 00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:30,239 Speaker 1: I don't panic here, but I wonder if there is 668 00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:34,120 Speaker 1: an issue in the cooling system that a combustion leak 669 00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:36,919 Speaker 1: gets into the cooling system, and you know, a head 670 00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:40,960 Speaker 1: gasket seep or a combustion chamber leak into cooling and 671 00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:44,640 Speaker 1: it's putting an air bubble in the system, which then 672 00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:49,000 Speaker 1: causes the tempt gage to spike. The air in the system, 673 00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:51,960 Speaker 1: disrupts cool and flow and gives you you know, hot 674 00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:53,960 Speaker 1: or cold, and then hot air at the heater core. 675 00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:56,480 Speaker 1: And then it comes back to normal as it reaches 676 00:34:56,560 --> 00:35:01,280 Speaker 1: that certain temperature and seals itself up and it goes away. Uh. Actually, 677 00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:05,200 Speaker 1: my uh, my buddy's son asked his own garage, and 678 00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:08,520 Speaker 1: I should have asked him another question, but Keith thought 679 00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:11,959 Speaker 1: maybe he's a little bit battle too. But he thought 680 00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:15,920 Speaker 1: maybe that there was an intate fleet. Yeah, very possible. 681 00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:17,759 Speaker 1: So let's do this, Tory, because the clock is gonna 682 00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:21,040 Speaker 1: grab me. Ask him to do a combustion leak check 683 00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:24,880 Speaker 1: using a five guess emissions analyzer and give me a 684 00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:26,719 Speaker 1: call back next week and give me the results and 685 00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:28,160 Speaker 1: we'll go from there. I'm not a any of the 686 00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:31,440 Speaker 1: car doctor. The mechanics aren't expensive. Their pricess see us
