00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 1: cleaning up. Yeah, one little question for you, anything brother? Uh?

34
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 1: Two thousands seven Civil Road? Yeah, and you got it's

35
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 1: got the transmission temperature gage and it's fine with under

36
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 1: twenty miles. Everything is through temper ain't creaks? Sure? And

37
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 1: they says, what do you think, Well, if the temperature

38
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 1: is actually going up, I'd be concerned. Is there an

39
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:55,959
Speaker 1: issue with well number one? Is the fluid level? Good?

40
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,919
Speaker 1: Number two? Is there an issue with the trans cooler

41
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:05,799
Speaker 1: that's in the radiator, because that should have it in

42
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 1: the future somebody said, it could be the last stuff

43
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 1: that comes from day uhmission right, you want to make

44
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 1: sure they're clear because if it's if it's an older

45
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:21,519
Speaker 1: vehicle and there's you know, material in either either of

46
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,079
Speaker 1: those lines creating a restriction, you've got no flow to

47
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:27,519
Speaker 1: the cooler. So or is the cooler restricted? You know

48
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 1: that's always It could be a sensor. Well, it's like

49
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:34,639
Speaker 1: I said, remember the first part of what I said.

50
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 1: I said, if the temperature is really rising? Now if

51
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 1: if if and I don't think you're gonna have it,

52
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 1: But if you had access to a scan tool, you

53
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 1: could plug in and look at transtempt and see. Or

54
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 1: it could be the gauge, right, It could be the

55
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 1: gauge with that you know, is it right? Could be

56
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 1: several things. So the question becomes, you know, if is it?

57
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 1: Is it? What does the gage say the temperatures running

58
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 1: two hundred degrees? Well, look it don't do didn't tell

59
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 1: about twenty miles it started arriving to didn't it right?

60
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 1: If you know? Is it is it hot to the touch?

61
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:18,720
Speaker 1: If you if you took a glove, stuck your hand

62
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 1: in a bucket of water, and then touched your your

63
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,360
Speaker 1: hand to the bottom of the transplant and I'm saying

64
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 1: with the you know, insulating it like that so you

65
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 1: don't get burned. Just you know, does it? Do you

66
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:30,279
Speaker 1: feel extreme heat? Two hun seventy five almost three degrees

67
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 1: is pretty extreme. You're gonna feel some warmth coming off

68
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:36,480
Speaker 1: that thing? Um? Yeah, I don't believe. So I hadn't tried, right,

69
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:38,840
Speaker 1: you know, if you had, if you had something like

70
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,040
Speaker 1: a thermal imager. You know they make thermal image cameras.

71
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:42,280
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying go out and buy one, but

72
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 1: if you had a guy who had a thermal imager, uh,

73
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 1: you know, you could you could shoot the pan with

74
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 1: that imager and see what's the actual temperature? You know,

75
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 1: is it running that hot? Um? Don't. I'm gonna get

76
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 1: into it. But I wanted to talk to you in

Speaker 1: So for Rodney, I want to do a shout out

154
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:36,720
Speaker 1: and say hey brother, and we'll be out there sooner.

155
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 1: You guys come east and we'll get together for Rodney

156
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:41,840
Speaker 1: and Anita at Pittsburgh Way. Let's pull over and take

157
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:43,560
Speaker 1: a pause. I'm running any in. The car Doctor will

158
00:09:43,600 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 1: be back right after this and you get keep Ron's

159
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:06,080
Speaker 1: number hand eight five five five zero nine zero zero

160
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:09,080
Speaker 1: for when you really need advice on your car. Here's Rob.

161
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 1: And by the way, Tom, I should point out where

162
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 1: we must we must be on in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania today

163
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 1: because the littlest of Nannian just texted me and said, Dad,

164
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 1: I heard the part about Rodney and the needy. You

165
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 1: forgot to mention the part where you're gonna get him

166
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:22,839
Speaker 1: a T shirt because he really wants to join the

167
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 1: club come this spring. So uh, so you're in trouble now,

168
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:29,959
Speaker 1: you know, I love it. How does it start out?

169
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:31,679
Speaker 1: I try to do something simple, so you know what

170
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:32,959
Speaker 1: that means. That means now I've got to do a

171
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 1: T shirt. We're gonna add that to the T shirt.

172
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:36,440
Speaker 1: I gotta do a T shirt order. I keep saying

173
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do it, and uh, that means now you

174
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:41,720
Speaker 1: have to behave yourself because the little one is listening.

175
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:44,559
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, well that's the that's the bad part, you know. Well,

176
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:46,680
Speaker 1: you know, I guess even my kids are a little

177
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:49,080
Speaker 1: star struck. I don't know, Tom, I just think nothing

178
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 1: of it. I get up when I do Radio one

179
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 1: on the weekend. It's just it's but you know, it's

180
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 1: it's kind of mind boggling because my youngest doesn't remember

181
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:01,440
Speaker 1: me ever not being on the radio, and she's thirty,

182
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 1: and that's just that just blows my mind. That's uh,

183
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 1: that's kind of scary. Yeah, it's it's just for a

184
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 1: lot of reasons. Listening to in my middle one, she says, Dad,

185
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:14,720
Speaker 1: I don't remember if her not being on radio. Well,

186
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 1: you know what's funny, My my daughter, the venn Aian

187
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 1: goes when she goes in on Saturday, one of the doctors,

188
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 1: other doctors. There's the older person and she brings in

189
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 1: a quiz. She listens to serious XM seventies channel and

190
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 1: she brings in a quiz about seventies music every week.

191
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 1: And of course Sarah just can answer the questions. And

192
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,959
Speaker 1: she looks at her She's like, my dad's worked in radio,

193
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:41,200
Speaker 1: classic classic rock radio for years. Don't try to pull

194
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:44,439
Speaker 1: one on. Well, listen, I'll I'll put you on the spot.

195
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 1: Not that I want you to respond to it, but

196
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 1: the listeners should know that you are you are an

197
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 1: excellent DJ. I've I've seen you DJ in action, and

198
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 1: I think you're really a closet DJ. You're just dying

199
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 1: to break out. So um, yeah, I break out constantly.

200
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 1: You know, it depends on what I walk into. You're

201
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 1: You're you're actually a very good DJ. Tom you really

202
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 1: among other things. So anyway, let's uh, let's not turn

203
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 1: this into a mutual admiration society. We got cars, effects

204
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:11,319
Speaker 1: you know, I love you. Let's go over and talk

205
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 1: to where we going Dug in Virginia, Doug. Welcome to

206
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 1: the car doctor, sir, What's what's going on? Yes, sir? Uh,

207
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 1: I got a two thousand two link in LS six

208
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 1: with seven or seven thousand miles one. I'm having fuel problems. Uh.

209
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 1: Friend checked it with a computer and said that, uh,

210
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:32,839
Speaker 1: it's thirty p s I at the fuel rail at

211
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 1: the test board. But uh, the filter has gotten stopped

212
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:39,320
Speaker 1: up a couple of times, and I got crapped out

213
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:40,959
Speaker 1: of put a new filter on there, and now I

214
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 1: sitting a couple of codes, Uh, like an eleven fifty

215
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:47,760
Speaker 1: one eleven thirty one, which I think is the oxygen

216
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 1: sensors or something. Occasionally I had done H three O

217
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:57,839
Speaker 1: one at three oh four. Uh, but uh, he's saying

218
00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 1: that that's not enough fuel pressure forge book says dirty

219
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:05,200
Speaker 1: p s I is what it's supposed to have. Well,

220
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:08,200
Speaker 1: pressure is one thing, volumes another thing. And then where's

221
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 1: the stuff coming from? Its clogging the filter? Uh. The

222
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:14,560
Speaker 1: only thing I can figure is either I've picked up

223
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 1: some bad gass or I've gotten some free gas. Uh.

224
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:24,320
Speaker 1: There was octane, but it's clean because I looked at

225
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:28,160
Speaker 1: it before I put any in there. Uh And and uh,

226
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:30,560
Speaker 1: but I don't know what's coming out of a pump somewhere.

227
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:34,199
Speaker 1: What do you what makes you think I'm gonna ask

228
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 1: the simple questions. All right, what makes you think the

229
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:40,679
Speaker 1: filters have crud in them? You can't blow because I

230
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 1: changed changed two filters and got dirt at of them. Okay,

231
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 1: when you say dirt, how are you? What do you you?

232
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 1: Can you blow through the filters or you're turning the

233
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:53,319
Speaker 1: filter backwards and you're dumping it out, looking at looking

234
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 1: at crudd Uh, turning it around backwards and dumbing it out? Okay,

235
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 1: can you blow through the field? Alter? I did not

236
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:05,079
Speaker 1: try at that time. But I've got a new a

237
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 1: newer filter, E bold one that's supposed to be a

238
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:09,679
Speaker 1: better filter that I'm gonna put it on the air

239
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 1: than uh, the original you know, the standard. Right, But

240
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 1: and that's great, everybody does that. But but hear me

241
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 1: out that, you know, if you've still got crut in

242
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 1: the system, you've still got cret in the system. There's

243
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:24,160
Speaker 1: not supposed to be dirt grit, you know, we don't.

244
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 1: We shouldn't have to put a better filter on to

245
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 1: compensate for a load of stuff in the tank. Is

246
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 1: all right? I'm understand that. And that was the reason

247
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 1: I was calling you because I wanted to I wanted

248
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 1: to see if you thought it was a better idea

249
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 1: to test the pressure directly from the pump and then

250
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 1: tested on the front side of the filter to see

251
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 1: if there was a change in pressure. Number one, And

252
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 1: how does the filter being stopped up effect the volume? Well,

253
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 1: you know, the filter being stopped up is going to

254
00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 1: limit the amount of volume delivered to a rail and

255
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 1: that's going to cause a lean condition. And I think

256
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 1: some of those codes you were describing, we're lean biased

257
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 1: fault code. Uh right. And I don't want to pull

258
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:14,160
Speaker 1: the pump until I know for sure that I've figured

259
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 1: out what the problem is. I mean, have you pulled

260
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:19,800
Speaker 1: a physical fuel sample out of this not not out

261
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 1: of the filter. Have you pulled a physical fuel sample,

262
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:27,120
Speaker 1: let's say, at the rail after the filter? No, okay,

263
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 1: do that. Let's let's let's go. Let's go one step

264
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 1: at a time. Do you have access to a fuel

265
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:35,960
Speaker 1: pressure gauge? Know that I have to get okay, get

266
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 1: a fuel pressure gauge, hook it up, and you know,

267
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 1: let's go for a ride. Scott duc duct tape the

268
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 1: fuel pressure gauge to the windshield in such a way

269
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:47,080
Speaker 1: that you can close the hood. You have to. You'll

270
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 1: be able to route it between the hood seal and

271
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 1: the and the cow. And you know what I do

272
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 1: is I always try to position the gauge so the

273
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 1: clock position of the needle when the gauges at the

274
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 1: correct spot is straight up at at twelve o'clock. That way,

275
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 1: I don't have to push my head gee, what's you

276
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 1: know if it's If it's straight up at twelve o'clock,

277
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 1: I can kind of watch the gauge out of the

278
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:10,640
Speaker 1: corner of my eye and keep my bigger eye on

279
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 1: the road so I'm not having an accident. Um and

280
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 1: duct tape it to the windshield. Just be mindful of

281
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 1: routing the hose and away from anything hot. And let's

282
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 1: go for a ride. Let's see what it does when

283
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:24,920
Speaker 1: the car starts to act weird. Where's fuel pressure? Is

284
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 1: it falling off significantly? Is it? Is it still at

285
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:30,240
Speaker 1: thirty and we're having the problem. Maybe we've got something

286
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 1: else going on. I would also be curious if we

287
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 1: were to take a fuel sample. Once you get the

288
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 1: gauge hooked up, there should be a dump valve on

289
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 1: the gauge. And the good news is the good news

290
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 1: is once you get it hooked up, go find in

291
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 1: the In the old days, I used to say, used

292
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:49,800
Speaker 1: a Snapple bottle. Snapple bottles, we were glass. If it

293
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 1: could fill a Snapple bottle in twenty seconds, that's reasonable flow.

294
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 1: All right, that's that's reasonable flow. Now. The other thing

295
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 1: we've learned is as fuel pumps age, they can deliver volume,

296
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 1: they can deliver pressure, but they can also cavitate, meaning

297
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:13,880
Speaker 1: that they the impellers will flare away from the side

298
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 1: of the pump, allowing air to get in the system

299
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 1: that you won't necessarily see just doing a straight volume

300
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 1: test coming off. But before we go there, let's verify,

301
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 1: you know, how clean is the fuel. And if the

302
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:28,639
Speaker 1: fuel comes out looking kind of crutty and and and

303
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 1: and ugly, let it sit on the bench in the bottle.

304
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 1: Whatever you end up using glass works the best. Does

305
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:39,159
Speaker 1: it separate? Okay? You know the first step here, if

306
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:42,880
Speaker 1: you're still getting crud or contaminant out of the tank

307
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 1: and the filter, if you cut that filter open with

308
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 1: a hack saw, because you don't want to use anything

309
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:50,600
Speaker 1: else that generate sparks, it is fuel. Uh you know

310
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 1: you know what's in those filter plates? Is it? Is it? Really?

311
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:57,400
Speaker 1: Is it grit and contaminant? Do we have to drop

312
00:17:57,480 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 1: the tank, which dropping the tank on that I believe

313
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,320
Speaker 1: was a chore because it's it's cradled between the two

314
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:05,959
Speaker 1: halves of the of the uh hump under the tunnel

315
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 1: by the exhaust. It's it's kind of tough to get out. Yeah,

316
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 1: I know, it's not that simple. Or I think there's

317
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 1: a fuel pump access port? Is there not in the

318
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:16,159
Speaker 1: trunk or under the back seat. I'm trying to remember.

319
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:20,359
Speaker 1: If you pull the pump out and look inside with

320
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 1: a flashlight, what will you see? You got some things

321
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:25,120
Speaker 1: to do, my friend, go do those. Call me back

322
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 1: next week. I'll be here for you and we can

323
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:29,040
Speaker 1: help carry this along and solve it. So good luck.

324
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:30,720
Speaker 1: Let me know what happens. I'm running any of the

325
00:18:30,760 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 1: car doctor. We're back right after this. Welcome back, while

326
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:03,080
Speaker 1: name of the car doctor here at your service. You know,

327
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:04,680
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago we had Chuck kin Kaid.

328
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 1: I remember Chuck kin Kaid from Mala. Chuck came on

329
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:08,920
Speaker 1: to talk about air conditioning in the winter. We thought

330
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:10,640
Speaker 1: it was a timely topic because you know what, it's

331
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 1: gonna be July before you know it, and we're all

332
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:14,640
Speaker 1: gonna be sweat and while I was talking to Chuck

333
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 1: this week as well as the rest of the boys

334
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:19,680
Speaker 1: over there Mala and um, well, there's some really big

335
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:21,959
Speaker 1: things coming. I can't tell you everything, but they've got

336
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 1: some really big things in their lineup this year. So

337
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:25,720
Speaker 1: we're gonna keep an eye on them. And if you're

338
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 1: a repair shop and you're looking for some new fluid

339
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:31,720
Speaker 1: exchangers and equipment handlers and different types of things, uh,

340
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:34,240
Speaker 1: you want to get out to Service Solutions dot mala

341
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 1: dot com and uh, I believe that's their website. Um yes,

345
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:48,119
Speaker 1: So I'm glad Chuck was able to share that with me.

346
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:50,440
Speaker 1: Thank you. Let's let's get on over to Kennan, Iowa.

347
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:53,399
Speaker 1: Who wants to have a conversation. I think about electric cars.

348
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:55,960
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm not sure, but I'm wide open. What do

349
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:59,120
Speaker 1: you got Ken? What's on your mind? Well? I heard

350
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:01,240
Speaker 1: on the Ridge year here a week or two ago

351
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:07,359
Speaker 1: about electric airplanes that being tested overseas somewhere. Have you

352
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:10,200
Speaker 1: heard anything about that? Yeah, I have heard about that,

353
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 1: and I you know, listen, I'm nervous enough flying in

354
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:16,359
Speaker 1: a gasolene powered or a liquid fuel powered airplane. Now

355
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:18,480
Speaker 1: they're gonna, you know, we're gonna put electricity into it,

356
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:22,680
Speaker 1: and I, you know, what's the reliability factor there? I

357
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:26,240
Speaker 1: don't understand, you know. I think of it like this,

358
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:28,240
Speaker 1: Ken when I was in high school, which was a

359
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:31,760
Speaker 1: million years ago, and dirt had been invented. Um, you know,

360
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 1: they told me by the year we would be on Mars.

361
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:40,320
Speaker 1: All right, we had just landed on the Moon in

362
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:43,200
Speaker 1: sixty nine. I would graduate high school in the mid seventies.

363
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:45,239
Speaker 1: You know, we'll be on Mars in the next five

364
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:48,280
Speaker 1: or thirty years. Well, it never happened, and it's not

365
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 1: gonna happen anytime soon. And you know, we kind of

366
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 1: didn't buy into it. But now they're telling us that

367
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:57,480
Speaker 1: electric cars will work in fifteen years. We're gonna have

368
00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:01,920
Speaker 1: major car companies no longer sell selene powered vehicles. We've

369
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 1: got a lot of companies. Hyunday this week announced that

370
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 1: they're doing away with their internal combustion engine research and

371
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:13,359
Speaker 1: development factory, that they're just gonna stop working more on

372
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:16,879
Speaker 1: internal combustion engines. Put every all their efforts into electric

373
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:21,240
Speaker 1: and we've got no way to circumvent or overcome some

374
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:23,840
Speaker 1: of the problems that we're facing. Not anything I see.

375
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:26,840
Speaker 1: The technology just hasn't been invented, and we're taking an

376
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 1: awful big chance that it's going to be Um, you know,

377
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:34,120
Speaker 1: I just don't understand. I mean, you're you're aware. You're

378
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:38,240
Speaker 1: out in Iowa, right, Um, you know? Is it a

379
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:40,200
Speaker 1: remote part of the state. I mean, do you see

380
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:43,720
Speaker 1: electric Can you see an electric vehicle infrastructure being built

381
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 1: out there? What would it take? How far a part

382
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:49,200
Speaker 1: of the houses, the homes, the downtown from the from

383
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 1: where the majority of people live, is it? Is it practical? No,

384
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 1: it's electric vehicles here where I'm Addie. We're out in

385
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:59,240
Speaker 1: the sticks. You might say, we're hundred miles from Des Moines,

386
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 1: hundred miles Momaha, and a hundred miles from Kansas City,

387
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:08,200
Speaker 1: and we're right, And yeah, I like the vehicles. No,

388
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:12,960
Speaker 1: I don't think would ever go over here. What do

389
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:14,480
Speaker 1: you what do you drive every day? What do you

390
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:18,320
Speaker 1: drive every day? Ken? What's your everyday vehicle? I gotta

391
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:22,520
Speaker 1: drive a two thousand eight Ponty egg Vibe And when

392
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:24,960
Speaker 1: that breaks, do you take it in for repairs or

393
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 1: do you repair it yourself? No, I've got a guy

394
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:35,119
Speaker 1: that is excellent on you take it somewhere and have

395
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:37,399
Speaker 1: it fixed, right. And and how far do you have

396
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:42,080
Speaker 1: to drive to get there? Just curious? Ten miles? And

397
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:43,600
Speaker 1: if you had to go to the dealer, where's the

398
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:45,560
Speaker 1: where's the nearest dealer for you? I mean, I know

399
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:47,520
Speaker 1: Ponty Act doesn't exist anymore, but if you had a

400
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 1: car dealer about about thirty miles, Yeah, to General motors

401
00:22:56,400 --> 00:23:03,960
Speaker 1: Chrystier dealer, Cadillac dealer, you know, odors Um. But yeah,

402
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:08,399
Speaker 1: I have had my vehicle service down there for a

403
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:13,440
Speaker 1: long time and this guy is just excellent. I had

404
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:16,399
Speaker 1: a entire sensor go bad, and I thought I probably

405
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:18,680
Speaker 1: have to replace all of them, but he says, nope,

406
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:22,280
Speaker 1: I just had one and he fixed one of them.

407
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 1: And I haven't had no more trouble with my tire sensors.

408
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:30,920
Speaker 1: And it's a two thousand and eight and I very fortunate.

409
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 1: A matter of fact, my battery lasted ten years. Wow,

410
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 1: you're one of those huh original battery ten years old?

411
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 1: That's azing. I couldn't leave that. But if anything getting fixed,

412
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:50,920
Speaker 1: so are you saying. Are you saying you're not a

413
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:56,720
Speaker 1: fan of electric vehicles? No, I don't think electric vehicles

414
00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:59,560
Speaker 1: are a thing of the future. Can I think that

415
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:02,040
Speaker 1: the Can I ask you what you do for a living?

416
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,240
Speaker 1: I was a truck driver, okay, So what do you

417
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:10,240
Speaker 1: think what like eighteen wheelers? Like big trucks? Yeah, so

418
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:12,720
Speaker 1: what do you think about electric You know, big trucks

419
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 1: being in Jersey? They just announced this past week that

420
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 1: New Jersey is also going to phase out diesel trucks

421
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:26,680
Speaker 1: in the next fifteen years. It's not gonna work because

422
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:32,480
Speaker 1: the range. You're not going to be able to drive

423
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:35,360
Speaker 1: very far with them. It's gonna take such a huge

424
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:40,280
Speaker 1: battery to pull that eight pounds. Let me ask you this,

425
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:41,679
Speaker 1: how long do you How long were you in over

426
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:45,879
Speaker 1: the road trucker? How many years? Oh? Gosh, I don't know.

427
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 1: I started back in the Oh well, I started driving

428
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:55,200
Speaker 1: tracktor trailers when I in the in the army and

429
00:24:56,520 --> 00:25:00,960
Speaker 1: back in the sixth so forty years, fifty years, fifty

430
00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:03,880
Speaker 1: years probably? Okay. How many traffic jams you get stuck

431
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:10,440
Speaker 1: in over those fifty years on the road? Oh? Yeah, right.

432
00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:13,000
Speaker 1: Can you imagine if that was an electric vehicle and

433
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:14,200
Speaker 1: you don't know when you were going to get to

434
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:18,040
Speaker 1: the next stop. Well, what I did was, as soon

435
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 1: as I got to the next exit, I had a

436
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:23,040
Speaker 1: road map with me, and I took off and headed

437
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:27,560
Speaker 1: headed for the sticks, go through the back roads and

438
00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:31,960
Speaker 1: go around the traffic, right you ever you ever run

439
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:37,399
Speaker 1: out of fuel with that diesel truck? No got close.

440
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:41,359
Speaker 1: I got close to one time. Never run out. It

441
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:44,080
Speaker 1: kind of makes you wonder how they would handle how

442
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:46,960
Speaker 1: they would handle an electric truck running out of voltage,

443
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 1: sitting in traffic. How would they tell it. That's an

444
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:51,560
Speaker 1: awful lot of eighteen wheelers to be told if they're

445
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:55,359
Speaker 1: all electric, right, Well, it can be done. I've seen it.

446
00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:58,080
Speaker 1: I've seen it done. But yeah, it takes a good

447
00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:02,960
Speaker 1: side record handle that big and now imagine instead of

448
00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:05,719
Speaker 1: it just being one eighteen wheeler, there's twenty of them.

449
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:12,280
Speaker 1: Yeah right, Uh, yep, ken. You know, one thing I've

450
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:15,119
Speaker 1: learned is that, um, you gotta listen to the public.

451
00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:18,720
Speaker 1: And uh, I've enjoyed our conversation. I wish I wish

452
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:21,600
Speaker 1: more people would listen to the common sense that some

453
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 1: of the people on this radio showed them and straight

454
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 1: like you, well, I just listen to that guy you

455
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 1: were talking about earlier that was eighty years old. Well,

456
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:34,080
Speaker 1: I'm seventy seven, okay, So with age comes wisdom. I think.

457
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:38,520
Speaker 1: I think my mother used to say, Yeah, I've seen

458
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:42,640
Speaker 1: a lot, done a lot, and right now I'm retired

459
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:47,680
Speaker 1: and enjoy my retirement. So cool beans, listen. We're glad

00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 1: You two, I'm roning Ay in the car doctor, We're back.

464
00:26:57,119 --> 00:27:07,480
Speaker 1: We're right after this. Welcome back, running in of the

465
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:09,440
Speaker 1: car door. Let's get out over and talk to Mike

466
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:12,240
Speaker 1: in Virginia with an eighteen wheeler problem. I believe this

467
00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:15,200
Speaker 1: is a twelve freight liner. Mike, Welcome to the car doctor, Sir.

468
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:18,440
Speaker 1: How can I help? Hey? How you doing, sir? I'm

469
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:21,400
Speaker 1: also a truck driver and I actually owned and operate

470
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:25,200
Speaker 1: my own truck for about the past five years, and

471
00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:27,480
Speaker 1: I'm having a problem where I'm starting to see like

472
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:31,680
Speaker 1: a black soot forming where the coolant reservoir is. The

473
00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:34,600
Speaker 1: coolant still looks red and kind of clear, but I

474
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:36,719
Speaker 1: had this problem. This is really a bizarre I had

475
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:39,639
Speaker 1: this problem like ten months ago, and I took it

476
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:41,440
Speaker 1: the freight liner and I told one of the diesel

477
00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:44,040
Speaker 1: mechanics are and right away he told me that's your

478
00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:46,359
Speaker 1: e g R cooler because it's got like a you know,

479
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:50,160
Speaker 1: it's got a cool d g R a crossover, right yeah.

480
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:52,320
Speaker 1: And they that's what they did. They took it off,

481
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:54,639
Speaker 1: they flushed the system out, put new cooling back in,

482
00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:58,200
Speaker 1: and UM put a new UM e g R cooler

483
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:00,440
Speaker 1: back on there. And I was fine, you truck and

484
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:03,359
Speaker 1: across the country. I go from here to California and

485
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:05,920
Speaker 1: UM for ten months. Now, I'm starting to see this

486
00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:09,600
Speaker 1: problem come back again. I looked at my coolant reservoir

487
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:13,200
Speaker 1: recently and it's starting to get that black foot again,

488
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:15,640
Speaker 1: you know. And I've been trying to YouTube and find

489
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:18,360
Speaker 1: out myself, you know, do self diagnosis and stuff. Enough,

490
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:20,840
Speaker 1: I've heard there's something called an oil cooler on there

491
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:23,400
Speaker 1: too that if that goes bad, which is different from

492
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:25,639
Speaker 1: the separate from the e g R cooler, I believe,

493
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:29,240
Speaker 1: but in those instances, I believe it's it's more oil

494
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:31,480
Speaker 1: that you find in there, like a like a you know,

495
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:34,160
Speaker 1: a larger amount. This is more like a black soot

496
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:40,280
Speaker 1: that's forming in there like fireplace, so exactly on on

497
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:42,800
Speaker 1: the inside top of the reservoir. It seems like it's

498
00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:45,360
Speaker 1: forming right above the coolant line. And I'm just like,

499
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:48,080
Speaker 1: then I started reading on the internet about something about

500
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:51,040
Speaker 1: a centri fuse and then they say something about a

501
00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:54,280
Speaker 1: head gasket, and then even one place and I hope

502
00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 1: the goodness is not this, but said something about a

503
00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 1: crack block two or something. But I mean, I I

504
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:01,720
Speaker 1: don't know, you know, if it if it was crack

505
00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:04,400
Speaker 1: block or or what do you call a head gasket?

506
00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:07,560
Speaker 1: Why why after they put the e g R cooler

507
00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:10,040
Speaker 1: on there did the problem go away and everything was

508
00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:13,200
Speaker 1: fine for ten months? Well because because I can tell

509
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:15,600
Speaker 1: you that answer. But see, I'm I'm I'm gonna I

510
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:18,080
Speaker 1: can be objective and unemotional, and I know this is

511
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:19,600
Speaker 1: your truck and there's gonna be a lot This could

512
00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:22,280
Speaker 1: be a lot of money. So right away, panic not panic,

513
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:26,840
Speaker 1: but you know it's it's panic sets in. Um the

514
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:29,520
Speaker 1: e g R problem fixed it and now it's got

515
00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:34,040
Speaker 1: a different problem with a similar symptom. Or how do

516
00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:36,480
Speaker 1: you know the new e g R valvism isn't bad again.

517
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:40,120
Speaker 1: You know what news You know what news new means

518
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:43,760
Speaker 1: never ever worked in my library. So um, you know,

519
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:45,520
Speaker 1: maybe it's time to go back and talk to that

520
00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:48,280
Speaker 1: repair shop and say, hey, is it possible can you

521
00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:51,200
Speaker 1: check the e g R cooler and verify its operation?

522
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:54,719
Speaker 1: If this were listen, an engine is an engine, right,

523
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:58,520
Speaker 1: if this were. Whether it's a Volkswagen, a water cooled

524
00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:01,560
Speaker 1: v W or a big truck, an engine is an engine.

525
00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:04,840
Speaker 1: So what I'd be curious is if you go and

526
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:08,440
Speaker 1: start this up cold with the with the cap off,

527
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:10,560
Speaker 1: so you could look in the bottle d C and

528
00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:13,560
Speaker 1: the air bubbles coming up out of the corn. I

529
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:15,920
Speaker 1: knew exactly where you're getting with this because I read

530
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:18,280
Speaker 1: that right off the internet. Because that's a big concern.

531
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:20,280
Speaker 1: If you see that, what is that indication of a

532
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:23,000
Speaker 1: either a crack block or a bad head gasket, well

533
00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:26,760
Speaker 1: head gasket or you know this should have removable cylinder

534
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:31,160
Speaker 1: liners in it. Oh yeah, yeah exactly. And you know what,

535
00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:33,320
Speaker 1: let me let me tell you about this engine. Another

536
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:36,360
Speaker 1: thing too. When I bought it, they sold me a limit. Uh,

537
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:38,280
Speaker 1: they didn't even tell me about it. I bought it

538
00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:41,680
Speaker 1: down there in North Carolina, in Greensboro, and it had

539
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:44,920
Speaker 1: cracked liners had been repaired in there, and I'm just

540
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:47,400
Speaker 1: thinking to myself, what had happened to this engine? And

541
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:50,400
Speaker 1: every time I was driving it, every thirty to forty miles,

542
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:52,640
Speaker 1: it would crack a liner. Then I'd end up back

543
00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:55,200
Speaker 1: at freight Liner and it would take them thirty days

544
00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:57,400
Speaker 1: because it was a warrant that still had some warranty left.

545
00:30:57,440 --> 00:30:59,720
Speaker 1: But they would only fix the one cylinder. And that's

546
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 1: the problem I have with when they just repair the

547
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:05,480
Speaker 1: bad part. But I heard that's like a big no no.

548
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:08,120
Speaker 1: If you if you have something like that going on,

549
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:11,360
Speaker 1: you'd want to do a whole inframe. Because the issue

550
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:14,160
Speaker 1: is diesels just run such tight tolerance. Is that if

551
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:17,280
Speaker 1: it just it just everything has to be matched and

552
00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:20,400
Speaker 1: associated with each other. Um that you would want to,

553
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:22,720
Speaker 1: you know, do it Allso yeah, you could, you could

554
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:25,560
Speaker 1: have a liner issue. So listen, look, let's look, let's

555
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:28,160
Speaker 1: let's let's answer it like this. Do you trust the

556
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 1: shop that did the E g R cooler work exactly? Yeah,

557
00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 1: that's that's the thing. I mean, it was freight Liner.

558
00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:37,200
Speaker 1: But you know, but let me get back to where

559
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:39,040
Speaker 1: I was talking about the liners. I actually wrote a

560
00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:41,240
Speaker 1: letter you don't put in there. I'm a veteran and

561
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:43,760
Speaker 1: you know put that. And I sent it to up

562
00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:46,200
Speaker 1: there to Detroit, Detroit, Michigan, you know, to to the

563
00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:49,200
Speaker 1: big guys, and they forwarded over to Diamond christ Room,

564
00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:51,680
Speaker 1: belieue or not. I got a big call from somebody

565
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:54,320
Speaker 1: high up in the company, and um, you know, I

566
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:56,360
Speaker 1: was told him I was shocked about buying a truck

567
00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:58,800
Speaker 1: like this and all. And they actually authorized an inframe.

568
00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:00,600
Speaker 1: And then when I called freight Liner, a guy a

569
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:02,440
Speaker 1: freight Liner said, if I was you, I'd take it

570
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:05,959
Speaker 1: over to Western Branch and Portsmouth because there that's all

571
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:08,320
Speaker 1: they do is big stuff and they're also into marine

572
00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:10,400
Speaker 1: diesels and stuff like that. And I took it over

573
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:12,640
Speaker 1: there and they did an in frame and it's been

574
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:16,240
Speaker 1: three a little over three hundred thousand miles and I had,

575
00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:19,000
Speaker 1: you know, no liners cracking or anything. They actually did

576
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 1: authorize because it was at the tail end of you know,

577
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:24,840
Speaker 1: Detroit warranty. So I was lucky to get that. But

578
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:27,800
Speaker 1: it's just been you know, I've been paranoid ever since

579
00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:30,480
Speaker 1: I bought this. No, I can't understand that maybe it's time.

580
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:32,840
Speaker 1: Maybe it's but maybe it's time to consider that we've

581
00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 1: it's time for another overhaul, as early as that might sound.

582
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:39,680
Speaker 1: Oh my good. Yeah. And that's the scary thing right there,

583
00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:41,880
Speaker 1: you know. And that's the whole thing is I wish

584
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:44,160
Speaker 1: I tried to I looked at this research on the

585
00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:46,360
Speaker 1: internet and different things. I wish they had some kind

586
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:50,200
Speaker 1: of federal regulation on commercial vehicles, which they don't. They

587
00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:52,680
Speaker 1: have them on cars, but you know what, if you

588
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:54,640
Speaker 1: want to go into business for yourself, you know, and

589
00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:56,920
Speaker 1: I just think that that that's what we're lacking in Congress,

590
00:32:57,080 --> 00:32:59,120
Speaker 1: is they need to pass some kind of regulation to

591
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:02,080
Speaker 1: protect small business owners and stuff like that, you know,

592
00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:06,840
Speaker 1: because absolutely, Mike, you know, they they need for the control.

593
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:08,200
Speaker 1: Like you're saying, hey, listen, what I mean to cut

594
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:10,240
Speaker 1: your short brother, But we're up against the clock, Mike,

595
00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 1: go back to that E g R mechanic whoever the

596
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:14,440
Speaker 1: freight liner. People talk to them and if you need more,

597
00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:16,280
Speaker 1: give us a shout back. Always a pleasure to talk

598
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:18,200
Speaker 1: to you, sir. I'm Rondonadi in the car Doctor. We

599
00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:31,560
Speaker 1: are back right after this. Welcome back the car Doctor.

600
00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:33,200
Speaker 1: You know, carpenter Bob Alwa said, I was the last

601
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:35,040
Speaker 1: best in a sanity on the planet, and sometimes I

602
00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:37,680
Speaker 1: think he's right. Um, it's just got to be common sense,

603
00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:39,760
Speaker 1: and that's all I try to present, teaching, teaching every

604
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:41,440
Speaker 1: one of you each and every week when we talk

605
00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:44,120
Speaker 1: about honorable biles and repairs. Had a customer this week

606
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:47,080
Speaker 1: call in Damon he Um. He was stuck at home

607
00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:49,920
Speaker 1: with a flat and it had been a while since

608
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:51,480
Speaker 1: the car had been in a long time since the

609
00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:53,520
Speaker 1: tires were off for whatever reason, because it doesn't go

610
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:54,800
Speaker 1: a whole lot of miles. We don't do a lot

611
00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:57,400
Speaker 1: of rotates in this particular Toyota camera and he had

612
00:33:57,400 --> 00:34:00,640
Speaker 1: a flat and he had called because he was trying

613
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:03,800
Speaker 1: to get the tire, the wheel loose from the hub.

614
00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:05,920
Speaker 1: It had rusted to the vehicle. You know, it sat

615
00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:08,440
Speaker 1: a lot because of the pandemic, and that's the other issuing.

616
00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:11,040
Speaker 1: Nobody's going anywhere, and you know, he jacked it up

617
00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:13,040
Speaker 1: and he had, you know, gone on YouTube and read

618
00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:15,560
Speaker 1: where they talked about, you know, banging on the wheel,

619
00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:17,200
Speaker 1: you know, with a with a steel hammer, trying to

620
00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:18,800
Speaker 1: knock it off, and a couple of other things that

621
00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:20,480
Speaker 1: they tried and couldn't get it to come loose. And

622
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:23,880
Speaker 1: what could I do? Damon? Put the lug nuts back on.

623
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:26,680
Speaker 1: If you know, if the lug nuts, if there's eight

624
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:29,160
Speaker 1: turns of the thread, turn the lug nuts back on four,

625
00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:32,200
Speaker 1: so there's no chance of the wheel fallen off. Put

626
00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:34,360
Speaker 1: at least three of the lugs, if not four, the

627
00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:36,440
Speaker 1: lug nuts back on. I think it's a five lug wheel.

628
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:38,600
Speaker 1: Put it down on the ground with loose lug nuts.

629
00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:41,960
Speaker 1: Check the car and violently shake its side to side.

630
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:44,680
Speaker 1: Keep your feet out from underneath it. I've never seen

631
00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:46,640
Speaker 1: it happen, But God forbid, the wheel comes loosen, the

632
00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:49,320
Speaker 1: stud pops. But you know the idea is used the

633
00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:51,239
Speaker 1: weight of the car to break the room loose from

634
00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:55,200
Speaker 1: the rust. Because my concern is up on a jack stand.

635
00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:57,440
Speaker 1: That's it's kind of gotta bob and sway and weave.

636
00:34:58,040 --> 00:34:59,960
Speaker 1: And when you hit that wheel, number one, you gotta

637
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:02,960
Speaker 1: chance of bending it. Number two you've got a chance

638
00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:05,080
Speaker 1: of You're probably down too close to the car. If

639
00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:07,040
Speaker 1: the wheel does pop, loosen and falls off the jackie,

640
00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:10,800
Speaker 1: you're gonna get hurt. So down on the ground, loosen

641
00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:12,839
Speaker 1: the lung nuts a couple of turns, not all the way,

642
00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:16,800
Speaker 1: just a couple of turns and shake the car. He

643
00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:19,200
Speaker 1: tried that. He also tried driving the car, and he

644
00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:21,279
Speaker 1: drove the car up and down the driveway a couple

645
00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:24,279
Speaker 1: of times. That will finally popped itself loosen was able

646
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:27,080
Speaker 1: to change it. And I present this to you just

647
00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:29,880
Speaker 1: common sense. Just think your way through the problem and

648
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:31,680
Speaker 1: keep that one in the back of your head if

649
00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:33,319
Speaker 1: you've got a change of flat. Who knows, maybe I've

650
00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:35,040
Speaker 1: helped somebody in the future and we don't even know

651
00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:38,560
Speaker 1: it yet. And that's what I'm here for, because I'm

652
00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:40,520
Speaker 1: on Anny in the car, doctor, and I'm reminding you

653
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:44,360
Speaker 1: good mechanics aren't expensive. They're priceless. See you
