5
00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:15,480
Speaker 1: thought I was gonna do two. And I went home

00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 1: dot com. It was a great call talking about his

27
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 1: vintage sixty nine Jagua and uh the way it ran

28
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 1: at PM in third year with a very slight misfire,

29
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 1: So we thank him for participating and uh, you know,

30
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:33,320
Speaker 1: talking about older cars because that's what this show is

31
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 1: all about. Well, new cars too and everything in between,

32
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 1: because that's what we're here for. We're here to help

33
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,200

34
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:42,400
Speaker 1: and you know, give you a little bit more knowledge.

35
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:45,479
Speaker 1: And when you walk into your mechanic, you know, here's

36
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 1: the sound, here's what it felt like, here's what I

37
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 1: thought it was, here's what it might be and help

38
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 1: establish a better relationship with your mechanic to help you

39
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 1: fix the car because they're just getting too complicated and

40
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 1: too expensive and you know, more information is for the better.

41
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 1: Let's kick the garage doors open right away, and before

42
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 1: I before I take the first class, want to point

43
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 1: out the bottom of the hour. Really great interview Jason

44
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:09,079
Speaker 1: Searles Uh. He is the VP of Advanced Lead Acid

45
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:12,080
Speaker 1: Battery Management. I think I said that right. Battery technology

46
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 1: sounds right. I'm like, with the name on this, his

47
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 1: door must be twelve ft wine. But you put the

48
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 1: name up there, you know. Um But a really great

49
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 1: conversation about a GM batteries um uh is going to

50
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:25,359
Speaker 1: be coming up because I've got some questions for him

51
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:27,519
Speaker 1: regarding a g M And if you've ever wanted to

52
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 1: know anything about about an a g M battery and

53
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:31,960
Speaker 1: we hear talking about it all the time, stick around

54
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 1: for that. That's at the bottom of the hour data

55
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 1: in Minnesota. How are you today? Hi? Hi? What's going on? Okay?

56
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 1: We have a HANDAHRVKA and we've been through this is

57
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:47,920
Speaker 1: I think a third set of tires. We have cupping

58
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 1: and a talk to a lot of mechanics, a lot

59
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 1: of uire people, and I just don't know what to do.

60
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 1: The more dum cupping is just so we're both on

61
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,640
Speaker 1: the same page. Is it that the tires are getting

62
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:04,920
Speaker 1: lumpy spots? I don't know. They call it copying and

63
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 1: it sounds like the tires so the tires are getting

64
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 1: noisy is what you're saying, is that's how that's how

65
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 1: you know it? Right? It's yes, specifically the driver's rear,

66
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 1: and then we rotate them. We're just supposed to do,

67
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 1: and we have aligns real often. We rotate every five

68
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 1: thousand aligned probably every seven thousand. So I'm taking the

69
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 1: ten of them. But this is the third pot of tires.

70
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 1: I thought we'd kind of cured the problem. And okay,

71
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 1: so my question doesn't seem to offer any Okay, so

72
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 1: let me let me ask this question. Is the dealer

73
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 1: doing the alignment? No, we haven't got um that's how

74
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 1: it was played. Okay, So after they done two alignments

75
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 1: on it, all right, Well when when when the alignment

76
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 1: is checked, are they saying that it's out of line? No?

77
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 1: Not any significant amounts. Okay, so so the alignment is true,

78
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 1: But then why I don't understand why they keep doing it.

79
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 1: So here's the deal. Do you know what cupping is?

80
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 1: Let's start the education there. Do you know what cupping is?

81
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 1: When we say the tires cup? There something there? But

82
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:18,479
Speaker 1: I don't know. He's looking at all? Right? Are you standing?

83
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 1: Are you standing up or sitting down? Okay? Stand up?

84
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:26,600
Speaker 1: Look down at your feet are you are your feet

85
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 1: pointed straight ahead? Are they flat on the ground? Your

86
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 1: feet are in alignment? All right? Your feet are level,

87
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 1: Your feet are pointed straight Take take your toes and

88
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:46,279
Speaker 1: point them out. You're toed out. That's what the expression means.

89
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 1: You're you're toed out. Now you're dragging. Now the car

90
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,719
Speaker 1: is gonna go straight down the road. But try walking

91
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 1: like that. You're dragging the souls. Right, you're gonna you're

92
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:59,159
Speaker 1: gonna wear your shoes funny, right, so you know, take

93
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 1: take your toes and point them in. Guess what now

94
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 1: you're toed in. It's not not not a hard not

95
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 1: a hard concept, right, all right? Here comes here comes

96
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 1: the hard one. Put your feet back straight again, put

97
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:14,600
Speaker 1: them flat on the ground. Turn your ankles out so

98
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 1: you're riding on the outside edge. All right, that's positive camber.

99
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,720
Speaker 1: Bring them in, that's negative camera. You're white. You're riding

100
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 1: on the inside edges. That's camber. Cat that's camber SnO

101
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 1: cambra and toe castor is a little harder. It has

102
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:34,040
Speaker 1: to do with the the imaginary arc that your ankle

103
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,839
Speaker 1: would swing through as you kind of pivot your ankle around.

104
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 1: And I'm not gonna get into that for this conversation

105
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 1: because it's not necessarily going to affect your issue. But

106
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:45,160
Speaker 1: those are the three basic alignment angles that we're always

107
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:49,160
Speaker 1: concerned with if the tires are cupping. And I'm gonna

108
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:51,360
Speaker 1: say it like this, if somebody's doing an alignment, if

109
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:54,280
Speaker 1: I'm doing a diagnostic alignment, because that's what I'm doing here, right,

110
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 1: I'm looking for a problem. I want to see before

111
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:03,480
Speaker 1: and after, all right, if if before, the numbers are

112
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:05,799
Speaker 1: in the green. And the alignment machines today are phenomenal,

113
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 1: you know. They they if it's if it's if it's

114
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:10,039
Speaker 1: a good one. If it's a Hunter, for example, and

115
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,279
Speaker 1: I'm sure the Honda dealer has one, the tire dealer

116
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 1: probably has one. There are other manufacturers out there that

117
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 1: do the same thing. They will give you a before

118
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 1: and after print out. It will show you, you know,

119
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:22,359
Speaker 1: here's the spec here's where your toes, here's where your

120
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 1: feet are supposed to be headed, all right, and you know,

121
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 1: if it's good, it's green. If it's bad, it's red.

122
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 1: And then when it gets into alignment, when you straighten

123
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 1: your feet and your toes out, it then goes green.

124
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 1: If it's if it's out of the scale. You're with me,

125
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 1: So my question is okay, and is everything green? It's

126
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 1: not like right, okay, so so stick with me here.

127
00:06:56,839 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 1: So every everything's green? Right? So if ever anything's green

128
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 1: and the tires are still cupping or wearing cock gide,

129
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 1: they've got to take the next step. Somebody's got to

130
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 1: sit there and say, Okay, you know, what are we

131
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 1: gonna do to correct this? Now? You know, if the

132
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 1: answer is, well, the factory doesn't give us an adjustment

133
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 1: for that particular corner because I suspect that something is

134
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 1: bent in the right rear. Is I'm gonna come down

135
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 1: to the bottom line with you. Something's wrong with the

136
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 1: right rear that maybe it's right on the cutting edge

137
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 1: of the alignment spec all right, and and that's why

138
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 1: it's in the green. But maybe it's not enough in

139
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 1: the green? Okay that you know, maybe there's an alignment

140
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 1: issue here. How many miles are on this car? Okay?

141
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 1: How are the back shocks original? It rides fine, but

142
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 1: yeah it's original? And well, because then the other thing

143
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 1: you get into is what I'm trying to do is

144
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 1: and I'm trying to do it slowly So I don't

145
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 1: scare you, but I'm just trying to say that. You know,

146
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 1: there's there's well, there's to be a routine to this. Right,

147
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 1: the alignment has to be right. We've got to verify

148
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 1: the alignment. Are you walking straight? Are you pigeontoed? Which

149
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 1: way are you walking? Okay? You're walking good, Your feet

150
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 1: are good, You're not hurting the shoes, all right, So

151
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 1: we know it's not the alignment. We know it's not structural.

152
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 1: If it's not structural as far as which way your

153
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 1: feet are pointed, then is it that maybe that right

154
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 1: rear shock has gone soft shock absorbers? Can you know

155
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 1: it'll it'll look if the if the shock is worn

156
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 1: and maybe not noticeable to you in the car, but

157
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 1: it will let that tire bounce going down the road

158
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:39,440
Speaker 1: like a basketball. All right. As as strange as it sounds,

159
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 1: I've I've had cars like this where I'll have somebody

160
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 1: drive it and I'll be behind them watching the car.

161
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 1: Um which way does that car look when it's going

162
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 1: down the road. What are the tires doing are they

163
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 1: Does it look like they're bouncing like a basketball? Is

164
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 1: the car tracking or crabbing? Is it more to the

165
00:08:57,640 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 1: left to the right, you know, telling me something really

166
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 1: is out with the alignment that the machine is not

167
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 1: necessarily picking up. So you know that's two three. What

168
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 1: sort of tires are you putting on it? And I'm

169
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 1: not saying it's a tire issue, because you're saying to

170
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 1: me it's always the right rear or is that the

171
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 1: left rear of the right rear, It doesn't matter, But

172
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 1: it's always that same rear tire driver's side rear tire

173
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 1: that always cups right. Well, now all four of some

174
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 1: copying on them because they've rotated them and then they

175
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:28,439
Speaker 1: cross road to which I don't know if that's the

176
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 1: right thing to do or not. It is that's a

177
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:34,080
Speaker 1: dealership tried last time, right it is? Um, you know

178
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 1: cross we have struts? Is that right? You have struts.

179
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 1: You'll you'll have struts in the front. And I'm trying

180
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 1: to think a CRV has well, it doesn't matter it

181
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 1: has a strut or shock. They can all wear. Um.

182
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:49,559
Speaker 1: I think you have struts in the rear as well. Um,

183
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:52,319
Speaker 1: I think that's him. Yeah, And it's probably big bucks

184
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 1: to change all this, you know, I'm sure you've got

185
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 1: at this point going through tires. We spent ether Adelagen.

186
00:09:57,880 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 1: I last at the tires and I thought they were

187
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 1: really good, and it started again. How how how how

188
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:04,959
Speaker 1: long do you get out of? How long do you

189
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:08,560
Speaker 1: get out of a set of tires? Dana Um? The

190
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 1: first one we the first Perry Butt good years. They're

191
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 1: good for a year and that really they're really allowed

192
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 1: the end of that year. I thought it was the wheelbarring.

193
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 1: It's all that it was. And how many miles were

194
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 1: bridge stones? I don't know, And I have to look

195
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 1: at my records, um bridge stones like a year ago

196
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 1: and they bridge Stone actually replaced the tires because of

197
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,560
Speaker 1: the cupping, replaced all four And now I've got so

198
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 1: it's not the bridge stone problem. You think it's good tires,

199
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:37,680
Speaker 1: You think it's thirty thousand miles, forty thousand miles probably, Yeah,

200
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 1: we put a lot of miles in the car, probably

201
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 1: at least. Um, stupid stupid question. You're you're you're not

202
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 1: gigondes people. I have to say that gently. Um, you know,

203
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:53,080
Speaker 1: don't tell anything, Yeah, right, you know, yeah you have to.

204
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:55,600
Speaker 1: You have to kind of ask those questions. Yeah, you

205
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 1: know your normal Um, you wouldn't set off the scan

206
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 1: tool and say oh wow with the seat sensor. Um

207
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:05,599
Speaker 1: uh you know, um tough questions. You gotta ask that.

208
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:09,680
Speaker 1: You know radio is easier years ago. Um you know,

209
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:13,840
Speaker 1: so you kinda yeah. I mean something, something is pushing

210
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 1: that tire out of square, all right, whether it's because

211
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 1: straw isn't leaking, but they don't feel it's that. Then

212
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 1: I go to the other dealerships for my other car

213
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 1: naders to mention this Toible and they said, well, so

214
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 1: you usually replace that. We've never replaced them. Should they

215
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 1: Are they aware? Item? I don't know. I've got one

216
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 1: person tell me one thing, one person saw me another.

217
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:40,559
Speaker 1: Shocks and struts are are clearly aware, item all right. Um,

218
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 1: the real issue is, and it's not necessarily just ride.

219
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 1: It is the shocks ability to prevent rebound or bounce.

220
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:52,479
Speaker 1: Now again, somebody just could be as simple as somebody,

221
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 1: like I said, drive behind the car. That's not gonna

222
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:56,560
Speaker 1: cost you anything. If you've got a second car in

223
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:59,080
Speaker 1: the family, have somebody look behind. I mean, you know

224
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 1: you're you're pretty smart. I can tell by talking to you.

225
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 1: You'll you'll know. Um, look at look at all the

226
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:05,719
Speaker 1: cars going down the road. Haven't you ever seen a

227
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:08,960
Speaker 1: g I saw a Ford Focus last week. Uh that

228
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 1: I mean the right It was the right rear tire.

229
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 1: This thing was bouncing that I was looking for Michael Jordan.

230
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 1: This thing looked like a basketball going down the highway.

231
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:16,960
Speaker 1: Uh you know, I said, look at the shock on

232
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 1: this thing and this guy and the car was smooth.

233
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:22,839
Speaker 1: The guy just you know tral on alone. Um. Uh

234
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 1: you know, so you may not necessarily feel it inside.

235
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 1: It could be at a very low level. Uh you know,

236
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:32,080
Speaker 1: it's it's there's there's a reason, all right. That's the

237
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:36,720
Speaker 1: bottom line, all right, and it's it's so put new

238
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 1: struts on. You think that's the way to go. Because

239
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 1: when they talked about some kids that would adjust the

240
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 1: camber and then management Honda doesn't think it's that. I mean,

241
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 1: I'm getting different stories and every you know, I don't know. Well, well,

242
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 1: here's here's the question. Here's the question I would ask Conda,

243
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 1: and then I'm gonna then I gotta go, so you'll

244
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 1: have to call me back or email me when you

245
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:58,360
Speaker 1: know more. All Right. The question I would ask Conda is, well,

246
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 1: instructs fix it? Okay? Um, do they see other crvs

247
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 1: doing this? All right? Right, so it's notable. So you

248
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 1: have the unique experience, you have the unique experience. Can

249
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 1: you do this? Can you do you have a print

250
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 1: out of the last alignment? Okay? Can you email it

251
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 1: to me? Email me the print out of the last

252
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 1: alignment and the seventeen digit ben the serial number of

253
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:33,320
Speaker 1: the car, and I'll I want to do a little digging.

254
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 1: Ron at Car Doctor Show dot com spell out the

255
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:37,599
Speaker 1: word doctor C A R D O C T R

258
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 1: their kid. We'll figure it out. You're very welcome, you're

Speaker 1: zero nine zero zero. Speaking of Ron, there he is.

265
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 1: Let's go right over to Alan main al return call

266
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 1: from last week. Where do we stand with this O

267
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 1: eight malibout? What's going on? Still? No start? I checked

268
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 1: the UM references on it and found that I am

269
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 1: getting a RPM reading from the cam censor and from

270
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 1: the crank sensor, so so refresh my memory. This came

271
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 1: in as a no start or had to check engine

272
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 1: light on what what? What started this problem? Started? The

273
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 1: problems that it would read no RPM and it was

274
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 1: go into limp mode, run poorly. After it warmed up,

275
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 1: the RPM would read and it ran perfect. That's the

276
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 1: way it started. And then what did you do to it? Well?

277
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 1: I put in crank sensor and then I was told

278
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 1: to put in cam sensor as well. I put the

279
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 1: cam sensor in, backed it out in the yard when

280
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:07,720
Speaker 1: I want to bring it in again, can start it? Okay?

281
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 1: And I'm sure you've gone through the swap the old

282
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 1: camp censor back in, crank center back in routine. No,

283
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 1: I haven't, but I am getting readings off them, right,

284
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 1: so we can okay? Right, you said that I have

285
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:22,720
Speaker 1: an Autel nine oh six test, So what do you

286
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 1: have for What do you have for service information? We're

287
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:26,600
Speaker 1: gonna attack this because I've been thinking about this car

288
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 1: this week. We're going to attack this from the point

289
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:31,960
Speaker 1: of let's find out what's good, all right, So what

290
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 1: do you have for service information? You got all that

291
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 1: or Mitchell or something um, No, I don't. I went

292
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:40,200
Speaker 1: to the the GM dealer and he gave me a read

293
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 1: out and from GM, and it gave me the you

294
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 1: know how the crank sens of hoax up tells me

295
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 1: what the references should be. We've found a discrepancy in

296
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 1: that though. Is he gave me a print out this

297
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 1: shows me the connector that goes on the crank sensor

298
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:02,000
Speaker 1: and is a B and terminals and what those references

299
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:05,920
Speaker 1: should be. And then he gave me a diagram that

300
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 1: shows the frank sensor attached to the module and all that.

301
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 1: But I have an electrical engineer friend that noted it

302
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 1: says five volt and the fine print for an input

303
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:22,000
Speaker 1: on that yet on the readout, right, because I remember

304
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 1: that there was a discrepancy. You were talking about twelve

305
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 1: votes the last time we spoke. Let's let's let's do

306
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 1: something else. If you plug in your scan tool, there's

307
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:35,320
Speaker 1: no fault codes correct, right? Can you can you communicate?

308
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:36,760
Speaker 1: Do you know what I mean when I say can

309
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 1: you communicate with all the all the modules on the bus? Yes,

310
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 1: I'm doing an active test on it. Right. You can

311
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 1: you can see the BCM and you can see that

312
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 1: the TCM the trans control module, you can talk to everybody, right, okay,

313
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 1: so so the data bus is active, correct, okay. Second question,

314
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 1: you have a lab scope? I think right? Oh no,

315
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:02,120
Speaker 1: I don't have a scull. You had to scope. However,

316
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 1: I have an electrical engineer friends that said he could

317
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 1: do that. Okay, So if you go to pens fourteen

318
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 1: and eight on the A L D L connector UM

319
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 1: and here's where here's where a n O B D

320
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:19,280
Speaker 1: two breakout box would come in handy. Have you seen

321
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:20,840
Speaker 1: those where they plug into the O B D two

322
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:26,159
Speaker 1: connector UM Google search O B D two breakout box.

323
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:29,360
Speaker 1: I think you'll buy one because you're gonna say, gee,

324
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:31,680
Speaker 1: how did I ever get along without this? They're not expensive,

325
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:34,399
Speaker 1: they're under two bucks. And what it does is it

326
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:37,640
Speaker 1: takes it will take the O B D two connectors,

327
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 1: the pins and put them down in front of you

328
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 1: in a pegboard style connection. So now you can take

329
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:49,199
Speaker 1: your scope leads and it will. They usually identify on

330
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 1: their can bus can one can two high low and

331
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,919
Speaker 1: so forth. Now you can plug into the high cereal

332
00:17:55,040 --> 00:18:00,200
Speaker 1: can and put a scope pattern up because it's it's

333
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,399
Speaker 1: you know, I just want to make sure there's a

334
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:05,240
Speaker 1: fairly simple test and a fairly quick test. I just

335
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:07,639
Speaker 1: want to make sure that we don't have a communication

336
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:10,400
Speaker 1: fault keeping the car from running, because I'm still thinking

337
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:13,400
Speaker 1: about the original problem that has started with. If your

338
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:15,840
Speaker 1: camp censor is good, if your crank sensor is good,

339
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 1: let's attack the original problem. If you can figure out

340
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:20,720
Speaker 1: how to do the camp a serial data plus test

341
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 1: this week, put a pattern up. We can talk about

342
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 1: this again next week. I'm sorry, I'm up against the

343
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:27,640
Speaker 1: clock out. We've gotta get you some more time. Um,

344
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 1: I'm not anating in The car doctor coming up next.

345
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:39,080
Speaker 1: Jason Seles will be back right after this when the

346
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 1: family car needs some fixing. There's only two things that

347
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:44,920
Speaker 1: really matter, getting the right part and getting some good advice.

348
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:47,679
Speaker 1: It's a pretty safe bet that, with over a million

349
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:50,760
Speaker 1: parts in stock, pet Boys has the right part right now.

350
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:53,800
Speaker 1: The pet Boys pros are extensively trained to find the

351
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 1: right part for just about any car truck. Better yet,

352
00:18:57,240 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 1: these pros can also handle the entire installation or so

353
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 1: of us needed. It's always good to have options and

354
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:10,000
Speaker 1: no the pet Boys pros have it covered either way. Hey,

355
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:11,919
Speaker 1: Ron Andining and the car Doctor, we are back you know,

356
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 1: A g M batteries at the top of everybody's mind today.

357
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:17,679
Speaker 1: It's always a question of how much electrical power do

358
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 1: I need? And does an A g M battery really

359
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:22,720
Speaker 1: give it to me? And it's becoming commonplace on many

360
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:24,359
Speaker 1: many cars, and we thought we would reach out to

361
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:27,480
Speaker 1: an industry expertise. Jason Surley is the VP of lead

362
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:31,040
Speaker 1: acid battery technology for Johnson Controls and we're happy to

363
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:33,640
Speaker 1: have them with us here today. Jason, welcome aboard. Thank

364
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:35,880
Speaker 1: you very much. Run happy to be here. Help our

365
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 1: listeners understand what exactly is an a g M battery. Okay,

366
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:43,800
Speaker 1: no problem. So a g M the letters stand for

367
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:49,080
Speaker 1: absorbent glass maps and it's a precision engineered lead acid battery.

368
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:53,119
Speaker 1: Here at John's Control's Power Solutions or the industry leader

369
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:57,200
Speaker 1: for manufacturing lead acid batteries not only here in the US,

370
00:19:57,320 --> 00:19:59,919
Speaker 1: but also around the world, and we're also the largest

371
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:05,119
Speaker 1: manufacture of these next generation UH precision technology a g

372
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:08,959
Speaker 1: M lead acid batteries. The way a g M differs

373
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:12,720
Speaker 1: from flooded is in the battery technology, as all the

374
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:16,879
Speaker 1: electrolytes or acid is absorbed within the glass mats and

375
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 1: the plates versus a flooded technology that has free flowing acid.

376
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:24,159
Speaker 1: The a g M system also has a valve system installed,

377
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 1: which promotes a unique feature called recombination, which recombin The

378
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:32,399
Speaker 1: recombines the free gases in the battery and regenerates water

379
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:35,880
Speaker 1: back in the south. So it's so ideally, I'm sorry,

380
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 1: it's so it's sort of self contains itself in terms

381
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:41,280
Speaker 1: in terms of um. You know, the water part of

382
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:43,480
Speaker 1: the moisture part of the battery is always contained and

383
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:46,639
Speaker 1: recycled back in to keep the battery going and uh

384
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:49,399
Speaker 1: longer fresher does Is this where we get into the

385
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:54,399
Speaker 1: conversation about cycling. Yes, so it's also recombination also is

386
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:57,199
Speaker 1: a part of the it's unique feature and the and

387
00:20:57,240 --> 00:20:59,560
Speaker 1: the fact that it's it is a valve regulated batter

388
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:02,359
Speaker 1: it's uniqu feature of being able to cycle um and

389
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:06,720
Speaker 1: provide you know, this this changing demand on what today's

390
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:11,000
Speaker 1: vehicles are expecting from the battery, and it's ideally suited

391
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:14,440
Speaker 1: for these high electrical demand conventional vehicles, but also the

392
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 1: high electrical demand start stop vehicles where cycling and safety

393
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:21,080
Speaker 1: have become a critical piece. Can someone if they've got

394
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 1: an original you know, an older car with an original

395
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:25,960
Speaker 1: lead acid battery. Um, if they put an A g

396
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:27,880
Speaker 1: M battery in place of that, does that have any

397
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:31,840
Speaker 1: effect on the vehicle, the the electrical of the charging system. Um,

398
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:35,359
Speaker 1: it does not have any effect regarding the charging system.

399
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:38,680
Speaker 1: In fact, Um, the more modern charging systems going back

400
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 1: into the the late eighties, early nineties, you know, are

401
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:46,920
Speaker 1: compatible with A g M technology. Um. They they the

402
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 1: A g M technology is able to charge just fine,

403
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:55,399
Speaker 1: and the charging system itself doesn't have any conflict with that. So,

404
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:59,159
Speaker 1: you know, batteries or age I'm sorry, a GM batteries

405
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:02,359
Speaker 1: you hear in the marketplace today that they're you know,

406
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:05,200
Speaker 1: they're more vibration resistant. Right. We we see all these

407
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:07,639
Speaker 1: off road vehicles with these A g M batteries and

408
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 1: they're touted as you know, you can take it through

409
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:12,520
Speaker 1: the ball off one thousand and the battery will survive.

410
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:17,920
Speaker 1: Talk about vibration resistance, what's that about? Sure? So A

411
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 1: g M batteries are more vibration resistant to the battery

412
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 1: construction where the cells are packed tightly and under high compression.

413
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:29,800
Speaker 1: What this does It holds the internal materials tightly together

414
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 1: to resist breakdown in a flooded battery. The plates are

415
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:37,920
Speaker 1: positioned loosely in the case in free flowing acid, which

416
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:41,360
Speaker 1: makes them more susceptible to vibration damage. This is more

417
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:46,159
Speaker 1: commonly seen in enthusiasts, off road and heavy duty applications.

418
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:48,800
Speaker 1: But the more important question to answer here is for

419
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:52,479
Speaker 1: everyday vehicles, how A g M batteries are addressing the

420
00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 1: cycling piece. UM. A g M batteries are designed to

421
00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:59,800
Speaker 1: offer optimized performance in the key areas a floated battery cannot,

422
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:04,399
Speaker 1: including operation at partial state of charge, ability to recharge quickly,

423
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:08,440
Speaker 1: and the ability to charge and discharge representedvely, also known

424
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:12,040
Speaker 1: as cycling. The ability to cycle is a critical part

425
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:15,000
Speaker 1: of how batteries performed not only in today's demands, but

426
00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:19,360
Speaker 1: how they'll also address the increasing demands of tomorrow. How

427
00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:21,880
Speaker 1: do you know the cars of today, I mean, there's

428
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:25,159
Speaker 1: so much electronics in them, right? Is that why the

429
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:29,040
Speaker 1: cars of today require demand more performance from a battery?

430
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 1: And then the second part of my my thought was,

431
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:36,000
Speaker 1: you know, um, you know where exactly, um is the

432
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:38,440
Speaker 1: major benefit of using that A g M in today's car.

433
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:44,600
Speaker 1: So it's it's partially the electrical demands, um, it's also

434
00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:48,440
Speaker 1: the increasing expectations of how people are using their vehicles.

435
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:52,920
Speaker 1: So vehicle systems are very complex, driving increased electrical loads

436
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:58,480
Speaker 1: to serve one the rapidly increasing consumer comfort devices. So

437
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:01,800
Speaker 1: this is your heating, your heated steering wheels, heated seats.

438
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:07,720
Speaker 1: UM number two, the safety devices, including autonomous functionality, which

439
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 1: is collision avoidance that's becoming more prevalent, lane departure more prevalent,

440
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:16,800
Speaker 1: even some of the highway self drive. And three the

441
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 1: regulatory piece reducing fuel consumption and CEO two emissions UM.

442
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:24,800
Speaker 1: This part is the alternate or load management you see

443
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:28,880
Speaker 1: in today's conventional vehicles, the conversion of devices to electric

444
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:33,280
Speaker 1: and fans pumps, and the implementation of start stop systems.

445
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:37,639
Speaker 1: You are all driving a much greater increase regarding the

446
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 1: batteri's ability to performed from an electrical load standpoint. All

447
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 1: this builds up into that cycling component I had mentioned

448
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:47,399
Speaker 1: before where A GM batteries are best suited to address that.

449
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:50,679
Speaker 1: Is there a better I'm sorry, is there a particular

450
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 1: type of vehicle that is better suited for an a

451
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:56,679
Speaker 1: g M battery. So I wouldn't limit it to a

452
00:24:57,040 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 1: specific particular type. I would call it out as how

453
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:03,800
Speaker 1: electrical demand vehicles are best suited by GM and high

454
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 1: demand vehicles are not. You know, only the common examples

455
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 1: of luxury vehicles trucks, minivans, SUVs, but they can also

456
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 1: be common sedans like a Toyota Camera or a Honda

457
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:19,360
Speaker 1: a Lantra. And the reason for that is how those

458
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 1: different vehicles have implemented different load management strategies where the

459
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:27,000
Speaker 1: battery is more actively used as an act of power source.

460
00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 1: And there's really three key points to understand here. You know,

461
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:33,919
Speaker 1: is the vehicle high demand due to electrical devices on

462
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:37,000
Speaker 1: board or how the vehicle manages loads and un how

463
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:39,840
Speaker 1: it utilizes the battery. You know, Two is how is

464
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:43,320
Speaker 1: the vehicle going to use um How is a person

465
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:46,480
Speaker 1: going to use the vehicle? You know, short trips, for example,

466
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:48,240
Speaker 1: put a lot of stress on the batteri's ability to

467
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 1: perform because it gets a limited amount of time to

468
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:54,159
Speaker 1: get recharged. And three, it's that environment the batteries are

469
00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:58,640
Speaker 1: operating within, so that high underhood temperatures, high external temperatures,

470
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:02,879
Speaker 1: traffic patterns that we see with increasing urbanization today are

471
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:06,160
Speaker 1: all putting you know, more stresses on the battery's ability

472
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:10,960
Speaker 1: to to recharge and and perform in these high demand applications.

473
00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:14,480
Speaker 1: So you know, let's take somebody with that Toyota camera. UM.

474
00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 1: As we look at the clock, we've got about two minutes,

475
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:19,760
Speaker 1: two minutes left, Jason UM. If we look at the

476
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:22,720
Speaker 1: if we look at somebody with that Toyota camera, UM,

477
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:24,560
Speaker 1: why do they want to pay premium? Why do they

478
00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:25,960
Speaker 1: want to put an a g M battery in that

479
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:27,720
Speaker 1: car that's had to lead acid battery in it all

480
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:31,199
Speaker 1: this time. You know, the premium is really paid for

481
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:34,520
Speaker 1: the fact that this is a highly engineered, precision a

482
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:39,000
Speaker 1: GM product. It's justified by delivering the consumer satisfied experience.

483
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:42,080
Speaker 1: You know, they don't want to be stuck, you know

484
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:44,679
Speaker 1: in a situation in the middle of winter, you know,

485
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:47,240
Speaker 1: in that early morning where they're going to crank over

486
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:50,200
Speaker 1: that engine and that battery is not there to perform.

487
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:53,200
Speaker 1: So these increasing vehicle demands and how we use that vehicle,

488
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:56,240
Speaker 1: you can lead to that short life battery life and

489
00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:59,880
Speaker 1: lead to that premature failure. AGM ensures that the battery

490
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:03,640
Speaker 1: will offer the performance you needed to address these increasing demands.

491
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:06,520
Speaker 1: You know, it's it's full and it's full going into winter.

492
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:08,720
Speaker 1: I mean the listeners are beginning to pay attention to

493
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:11,400
Speaker 1: that um will an a g M battery perform better

494
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:13,560
Speaker 1: than a standard battery and the cold weather that's coming.

495
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:17,359
Speaker 1: So a GM batteries do offer the ultimate performance in

496
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 1: temperature extremes, not only in terms that that cold you mentioned,

497
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:22,879
Speaker 1: but also hot weather as well. You know, a g

498
00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:26,399
Speaker 1: M and the cold weather does offer superior recharge performance

499
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:30,959
Speaker 1: over flooded technology. Combined with the increasing demands you know

500
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:33,200
Speaker 1: of the vehicle and the user, you know, a g

501
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:35,960
Speaker 1: M is offering that ultimate peace of mind. You know, really,

502
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:38,359
Speaker 1: as you mentioned, this time of the year really should

503
00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:40,520
Speaker 1: prompt you to to go out and get your your

504
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:43,280
Speaker 1: battery checked, and a g M can be that ideal

505
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:48,480
Speaker 1: battery choice. Where can the listeners get more information? So

506
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 1: we've got some different sources available. One is Auto Batteries

507
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:55,080
Speaker 1: dot com as a key place, and you can find

508
00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:58,800
Speaker 1: out about battery technology application, you know a lot more

509
00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:01,120
Speaker 1: about a GM batteries and how they're serving these demands.

510
00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:06,080
Speaker 1: Another one is also our website, Johnson Controls dot com

511
00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:08,960
Speaker 1: or also you can use j c I dot com

512
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:13,000
Speaker 1: as well. Got you all righty listen? Jason Searles, VP

Speaker 1: you taking the time today, and uh, thanks, I feel

515
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:20,399
Speaker 1: like I'm so much more knowledge well now about a

516
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:22,639
Speaker 1: GM batteries. UM. I can't wait to get back to

517
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:25,879
Speaker 1: the shop next week and start to use that that information. You. Thanks,

518
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:28,280
Speaker 1: thank you, and you have a good a great day.

519

Speaker 1: Thank you so much. You're very welcome. Take good care

520
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:47,200
Speaker 1: when you get keep Ron's number hand eight five five

521
00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:50,440
Speaker 1: five six zero nine zero zero for when you really

522
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:54,719
Speaker 1: need advice on your car. Here's Robb Hey. That was UM.

523
00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:56,720
Speaker 1: I enjoyed that with Jason Cheryls. I'm glad he took

524
00:28:56,720 --> 00:29:00,200
Speaker 1: the time to stop by today, Tommy. And uh, only

525
00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:01,960
Speaker 1: question I have is where do I find one of

526
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:04,840
Speaker 1: these a GM batteries. A great topic, interesting and very

527
00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:07,920
Speaker 1: very very very informative. Well a GM batteries are you

528
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:10,040
Speaker 1: know every we we hear the term a GM batteries

529
00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:12,239
Speaker 1: are becoming very mainstream. They've been used for more than

530
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:14,520
Speaker 1: a few years now in a lot of cars. You know,

531
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:17,480
Speaker 1: Johnson Controls Power Solutions is the leading producer of a

532
00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:20,520
Speaker 1: GM batteries UM here in the USA and around the world.

533
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:22,920
Speaker 1: And you know a lot of the O ese uh

534
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:26,360
Speaker 1: and aftermarket used Johnson Controls Power Solution batteries. You can

535
00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:28,120
Speaker 1: get them. They're just like any other battery. You can

536
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:30,480
Speaker 1: get them, you know at the leading auto ports stores,

537
00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:32,880
Speaker 1: Advanced Auto Parts, Auto Zone and the like. So, um,

538
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:34,920
Speaker 1: you know, very easy to pick up and just just

539
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:36,440
Speaker 1: just an upgrade to your battery if you want to

540
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:38,200
Speaker 1: think of it like that. That's cool because I'm planning

541
00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:40,040
Speaker 1: on getting one and wiring into your chair next week.

542
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:42,480
Speaker 1: Oh boy, will that be exciting. Um, that means it'll

543
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:44,040
Speaker 1: be a big shock to do the show next week.

544
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:48,400
Speaker 1: Ye give kick, I still got it. Let's go over

545
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:50,920
Speaker 1: and talk to Paul and Virginia. Paul saved me. Um,

546
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:54,440
Speaker 1: how are you today, sir? Alright? Not what's going on?

547
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:56,240
Speaker 1: I know this this this is the eighty seven Bronco

548
00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:59,520
Speaker 1: with a gazillion miles on it. Yeah well yeah, well

549
00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:04,680
Speaker 1: I'll say of thousand. Yeah. Um. I've got a a

550
00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:08,800
Speaker 1: rear light issue on the left hand side. The bright

551
00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:13,080
Speaker 1: light turns tabinal hazard. None of that works. The chail

552
00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:16,880
Speaker 1: I does. Everything works up front, Everything works from the

553
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:21,160
Speaker 1: right hand set. So it sounds like a ground. I've

554
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:24,440
Speaker 1: checked that it's not ground and not the issue Yeah,

555
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 1: I think I think it's ground two and I think

556
00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:29,200
Speaker 1: that's the I think it's common to both sides. I

557
00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:32,280
Speaker 1: think I think the ground splits and it's the same

558
00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:36,360
Speaker 1: ground both sides. Maybe I'm thinking, um, well, and you know,

559
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:39,560
Speaker 1: of course there would the ground could be better socket,

560
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:43,920
Speaker 1: but I I use the like the bumper as as

561
00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:49,840
Speaker 1: a ground, and uh, well let's let's let's let's let's

562
00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:52,880
Speaker 1: do this. Let's let's go to the socket. Um. Just

563
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:56,239
Speaker 1: because of the age of the vehicle, you know, I

564
00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:57,960
Speaker 1: want to I want to know what's going on ahead

565
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:00,360
Speaker 1: of the socket. Can we get to the harness before

566
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:06,440
Speaker 1: the socket? Yeah? I suck the probe right into the

567
00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:12,720
Speaker 1: back of the socket. Okay, so it's going right to

568
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:17,760
Speaker 1: the wire. I would you know, well, where's the where's

569
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:20,040
Speaker 1: the connector to the socket? Is it at the socket

570
00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:21,560
Speaker 1: or is there a little is this like a pigtail

571
00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:23,400
Speaker 1: I'm trying to remember what this looks like in eight seven?

572
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:25,960
Speaker 1: Is this is this an extension that there's you know,

573
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:28,480
Speaker 1: three four inches of wire and then there's a pigtail

574
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:32,440
Speaker 1: connector that unplugs. Can we unplug it there and then

575
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:34,840
Speaker 1: maybe go in just just find a bub and wire

576
00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:37,719
Speaker 1: it up to ground um, and you know, do we

577
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:39,760
Speaker 1: can we can we get a ball to work outside

578
00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:42,760
Speaker 1: the socket? Is what I'm trying to get at. Yeah,

579
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:48,200
Speaker 1: it's it's been well, I've been driving uh a another

580
00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:51,760
Speaker 1: vehicle which enough to drive on a daily basis, and

581
00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:56,080
Speaker 1: so this has been a while, has been set and

582
00:31:56,120 --> 00:32:00,200
Speaker 1: then the weather's not being cooperative. Well, but you know,

583
00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:02,720
Speaker 1: can we you know, can we can we get to

584
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:06,040
Speaker 1: another portion of the harness because listen, it's it's either

585
00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:10,080
Speaker 1: it's either somewhere in the socket all right, soccet or

586
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:11,960
Speaker 1: the housing or how it grounds and we just don't

587
00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:14,600
Speaker 1: see it yet, or it's in the wiring feeding the socket.

588
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:17,560
Speaker 1: So let's break it down in the middle. Let's let's

589
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:19,640
Speaker 1: let's let's cut the circuit in half. Let's see if

590
00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:22,400
Speaker 1: what we're feeding back from the directional switch from from

591
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:24,600
Speaker 1: the front of the vehicle to the rear is correct.

592
00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:27,400
Speaker 1: If it's good up until that pigtail connector, then we

593
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:29,680
Speaker 1: know the problem is either in the housing, the socket

594
00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:33,000
Speaker 1: or the harness leading into it. I mean, it's it's

595
00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:36,680
Speaker 1: it's really that simple. Not to overcomplicate this, so you

596
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:39,400
Speaker 1: can use anything from you know, here's a great idea

597
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:41,960
Speaker 1: for using a headlight. Uh, you know, an old school

598
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:45,640
Speaker 1: square around headlight or just you know it, It's probably

599
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:46,960
Speaker 1: be easier than doing it with a ball. If you

600
00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:48,720
Speaker 1: have to have a bulb wired up or a test light,

601
00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:51,640
Speaker 1: you have an old school, you know, old fashioned bright

602
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:56,360
Speaker 1: bulb test light. Yeah, I've I've got some square and

603
00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:59,280
Speaker 1: round bulb. Yeah, you know, let's just let's let's just

604
00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:03,520
Speaker 1: build it. Let's just build a lamp socket. Um uh,

605
00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:06,760
Speaker 1: and I would ground. I would ground specifically right to

606
00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:10,080
Speaker 1: the negative battery terminal. Forget the bumper and everything else,

607
00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:12,200
Speaker 1: because if the problem has got to do with rust

608
00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:16,880
Speaker 1: older vehicle, let's make the circuit work. Let's know leading

609
00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:19,640
Speaker 1: up to you know that first three inches up to

610
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:22,360
Speaker 1: the socket. Let's know that it's good there. If it's

611
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:24,880
Speaker 1: good there, if you can make it work there, then

612
00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:28,440
Speaker 1: you're down to it's it's good there. It's either the socket,

613
00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:31,080
Speaker 1: the ground, or the contacts in the housing. What else

614
00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:35,320
Speaker 1: can it be? Right now? If if the wiring has

615
00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:40,600
Speaker 1: failed somewhere from the front to the back, right, then

616
00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:44,800
Speaker 1: would it seems it seems like I'm I just wanna

617
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:49,080
Speaker 1: to work by you? Would it be feasible then to

618
00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:52,960
Speaker 1: run a wire from the right hand side frank light

619
00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 1: to the left, and then from the front turnsting the

620
00:33:57,160 --> 00:34:01,120
Speaker 1: light to the back. I'll tell you what. I'll have

621
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:03,720
Speaker 1: a broke light. I'll tell you what. Paul, women, hang

622
00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:05,240
Speaker 1: on a second. Let we pull over and take this plug.

623
00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:06,600
Speaker 1: We'll deal with this when I come back. I'm run

624
00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:09,760
Speaker 1: on the end of the car. Doctor, don't go away,

625
00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:14,520
Speaker 1: flucome back ran an ending car. Doc. Let's go over

626
00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:18,319
Speaker 1: to Paul again in Virginia. Paul, you're still there, real quick.

627
00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:19,920
Speaker 1: We got a minute and a half. What do you

628
00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:22,720
Speaker 1: what do you want to do? Okay, what I'm thinking

629
00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:26,480
Speaker 1: is right wire from the right hand side to the

630
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:29,560
Speaker 1: left for the brake and then run another wire from

631
00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:33,880
Speaker 1: the left front. So w I have a to the

632
00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:39,000
Speaker 1: back to so I have turn signal and hazard. Yeah,

633
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:41,480
Speaker 1: well we're gonna run. If we're gonna run one wire

634
00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:42,960
Speaker 1: front to back, why don't we just run to and

635
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:47,840
Speaker 1: be done with it. Well, Uh, the reason why to

636
00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:49,520
Speaker 1: go for a right to the left would be for

637
00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:55,200
Speaker 1: the break light. Neither the break light nor the turn

638
00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:59,960
Speaker 1: sagnal hazard works only the only the chail light. We're

639
00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:02,160
Speaker 1: on the left side. Did I ever tell you the

640
00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:07,279
Speaker 1: story about how Dirty Ernie lost his corvet. No, so

641
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:09,600
Speaker 1: dirty Ernie had a wiring problem on his corvet in

642
00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:12,359
Speaker 1: high school and I remember this, and he started playing

643
00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:14,840
Speaker 1: around with wiring the rear lights. It was actually a

644
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:16,960
Speaker 1: real light problem, kind of like you're talking about. Corbous

645
00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:18,839
Speaker 1: had problems with the wiring harnesses in the trunk because

646
00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:21,080
Speaker 1: the engine was back there and it got hot and

647
00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:23,640
Speaker 1: he wired. It's sort of like what you're doing, and

648
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:26,040
Speaker 1: he ended up the car ended up catching fire when

649
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:28,840
Speaker 1: the electrical system overloaded, and that's how he lost his

650
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:31,440
Speaker 1: first car. And my point is when you're dealing with

651
00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:34,480
Speaker 1: electrical wire, it the way the fact rewired it as

652
00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:37,520
Speaker 1: painful as it is now doing something wrong, not knowing

653
00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:40,480
Speaker 1: what you're trying to fix by correcting a wiring issue

654
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:43,759
Speaker 1: can lead to a much bigger problem. I'm on anaying

655
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:52,279
Speaker 1: the car doctor, the mechanics aren't expensive, Kip, priceless
