I want 47 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,720 Speaker 1: to talk about this two thousand nine Toyota. This this camera. 48 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,520 Speaker 1: I was mentioning it in the previous hour in that 49 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:41,120 Speaker 1: what's involved in doing an alternator? You know, there's certain 50 00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:43,680 Speaker 1: parts of a car that that that have they are 51 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:45,800 Speaker 1: gonna have to be changed over the course of it's life, 52 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:49,560 Speaker 1: and you know you can't help, but but you know, 53 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:53,400 Speaker 1: just just really wonder um with regard like what some 54 00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:57,400 Speaker 1: of the engineers are thinking. Two thousand nine Toyota Cameray 55 00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 1: V six wandered into the shop this week and it 56 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 1: was in need of an alternator. The charging system had 57 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:06,919 Speaker 1: no output and after some diagnosis, and diagnosis is simple 58 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:09,040 Speaker 1: but complicated. There's a couple of wires as a white 59 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,520 Speaker 1: wire that goes to the alternator. That's the heavy lug 60 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:13,440 Speaker 1: wire going down to the battery stud you gotta check 61 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,639 Speaker 1: that for hot There's a green red wire in the 62 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 1: in the square plug, you've got to look for hot 63 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:20,480 Speaker 1: for that. You've got to look at the red plug 64 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:22,080 Speaker 1: for twelve vaults. And you've got to make sure that 65 00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 1: the the last wire, the yellow wire with the red trace, 66 00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 1: if you unplug it and ground it, that it turns 67 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:28,960 Speaker 1: on the dash light. And if it does, it's it's 68 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,880 Speaker 1: a bad alternators. So there is some diagnosis. That's the 69 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:36,120 Speaker 1: easy part. The hard part is getting to it. And 70 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,440 Speaker 1: you would think that a company such as Toyota that 71 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:42,280 Speaker 1: prides itself on engineering, because I think Toyota builds a 72 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,800 Speaker 1: decent car. I do, but you just look at this 73 00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 1: repair and you say to yourself, what were they thinking 74 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,280 Speaker 1: to remove the alternator on this car? Because I'm also 75 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,360 Speaker 1: thinking about, you know, the guy wanting to do it 76 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:54,440 Speaker 1: on a Saturday afternoon in his driveway because he doesn't 77 00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:56,880 Speaker 1: have the money. It takes to have pay to somebody 78 00:03:56,880 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 1: to do it. The upper radiator break has to come out, 79 00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:04,560 Speaker 1: the air conditioning has to be discharged, the radiator has 80 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:08,000 Speaker 1: to be lifted out all right, the belt has to 81 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:11,840 Speaker 1: come off. Obviously, the lower from bumper cover and splash 82 00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,200 Speaker 1: shield has to come out. You've got the nose of 83 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:18,240 Speaker 1: the car off, and it probably you'd probably be able 84 00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 1: to sneak the alternator out without having to remove the 85 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:26,640 Speaker 1: radiator entirely. If the genius didn't put this one bolt. 86 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 1: It's always one bolt. There's a thirteen millimeter hex that 87 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,039 Speaker 1: holds a right angle bracket to the base of the 88 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 1: alternator that gets bolted to the engine block. And if 89 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:38,680 Speaker 1: your arm bent in three directions, you could get to 90 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:40,960 Speaker 1: it all right. You know. It's it's sort of like 91 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 1: your arm would have to look like your knees would 92 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 1: look if they made chairs backwards. It was just one 93 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,159 Speaker 1: of those that do and it and you can't get 94 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 1: to it otherwise. You have to have everything clear out 95 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 1: of the way in order to you know, gain access 96 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,640 Speaker 1: to it. You know, I remember, and I'm old school, 97 00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,080 Speaker 1: but I'm trying to be young at heart that I 98 00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:01,120 Speaker 1: remember older cars and not all the older cars are 99 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,920 Speaker 1: so easy to work on. But gee ways, you know, 100 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:07,359 Speaker 1: in fifty years one of the great automotive accomplishments is 101 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 1: we took changing an alternator on a sixty three Chevy 102 00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 1: and Palette which was fifteen minutes, and we made it 103 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:17,919 Speaker 1: four hours. And granted the car is ten years old, 104 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:21,160 Speaker 1: and that sixty three Chevy needed an alternator. Maybe it 105 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:22,720 Speaker 1: was a generator. I had to think back then. I 106 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 1: think it was an alternator in sixty three, um, but 107 00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:29,080 Speaker 1: it needed it needed a replacement in in in probably 108 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:32,200 Speaker 1: four years. But it sure did get expensive. And I 109 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:35,480 Speaker 1: think about the average consumer, and I think that's why, 110 00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:37,839 Speaker 1: you know, part of the reason why leasing is caught on, 111 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:41,280 Speaker 1: and why there's all this talk about subscription based ownership now, 112 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:43,599 Speaker 1: where you're just going to subscribe to own a certain vehicle. 113 00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:46,120 Speaker 1: I think a lot of that is because people are 114 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,279 Speaker 1: tired of expensive auto repair. They're just it's just not 115 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,039 Speaker 1: in the budget. You know. They'll do breaks, they'll do tires, 116 00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:54,200 Speaker 1: they'll do shocks, not that we sell a lot of 117 00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 1: shocks anymore, and they'll do no exhausting things like that. 118 00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,679 Speaker 1: But people are tired of stupidity. You know, a thousand 119 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,040 Speaker 1: dollars to put an alternator in a car. It's just 120 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 1: it's just insane. So I just, you know, just just 121 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:07,520 Speaker 1: a little bit of fun, just where it's going and uh, 122 00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:09,520 Speaker 1: you know, yeah, I gotta fixed, I gotta put back 123 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 1: together and down the road. But you know, you've got 124 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 1: to wonder where some of the engineers are thinking and uh, 125 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:16,400 Speaker 1: they're not thinking. So UM. Anyway, let's go over to 126 00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:18,839 Speaker 1: let's the phone line over to Pete in Delaware, Oh 127 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 1: five Toyota Sienna and planning a cross country trip.

If the if the trans the line 157 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:03,240 Speaker 1: cracks and falls off, that oh five cn a radiator 158 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:08,240 Speaker 1: wherever you want, wherever you are, that's where you are. 159 00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:11,080 Speaker 1: That's the moment. So if you're if you're in the 160 00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:13,480 Speaker 1: middle of Oshkosh, not that there's anything wrong with Oshkosh, 161 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,080 Speaker 1: but if you're in the middle of Oshkosh, oops, there 162 00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:18,760 Speaker 1: it is. So yeah, I mean, let's do you know, 163 00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:22,040 Speaker 1: let's do timing belt water pump belts and hoses, upper 164 00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:25,280 Speaker 1: and lowers. Let's put a thermostat in it, all right, 165 00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:27,600 Speaker 1: which is a little bit of a project that's over 166 00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:31,320 Speaker 1: there tucked behind. Let's do a thermostat. Let's do a radiator, 167 00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:35,880 Speaker 1: all right. And you know, the only other thing that's 168 00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:39,959 Speaker 1: sort of common is is or are the starter motor. 169 00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:42,840 Speaker 1: But the good news is if the starter goes bad, 170 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:46,760 Speaker 1: it'll happen when you're somewhere that you can get it 171 00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:49,760 Speaker 1: repaired if you had to. It's it's not it's it's 172 00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:51,400 Speaker 1: not gonna it's not. Once you get the car start, 173 00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:55,480 Speaker 1: We're not gonna fail on the road. Well again, like 174 00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:57,480 Speaker 1: I said, I respect your opinion. I'm gonna do that. 175 00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:02,280 Speaker 1: I'm gonna have my mechanic also checked my brakes. My 176 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,720 Speaker 1: tires are about one. I'm gonna leave those. The tires 177 00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:08,800 Speaker 1: go through the brakes, you know, flush the brake fluid. 178 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:12,440 Speaker 1: Make sure all the calipers it's probably front caliper, rear 179 00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:14,360 Speaker 1: drum or if it's four wheel disc. Make sure all 180 00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:16,840 Speaker 1: the slides and pins move freely. You know, look at 181 00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:19,880 Speaker 1: the wiper blades. Throw a coat of wax on the headlights, 182 00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:24,000 Speaker 1: keep them clean, right, you know, and uh, you know 183 00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,000 Speaker 1: I would actually get the car Washington, have a good 184 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:27,920 Speaker 1: wax put on it, because I love keep the debris 185 00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:29,880 Speaker 1: off it during the trip. But that's just me. I 186 00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:31,600 Speaker 1: think if the car is cleaner, it runs better. I'm 187 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:33,719 Speaker 1: a little I'm a little psycho like that. Well, I 188 00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:35,240 Speaker 1: don't know if I'm gonna go that far as far 189 00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:37,680 Speaker 1: as washing the car. Oh, it's it's one of those. 190 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,520 Speaker 1: This car, this car doesn't burn to drop the oil. 191 00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:45,640 Speaker 1: I attribute it to I chase you all myself faithfully 192 00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:49,240 Speaker 1: every three four thousand miles.

I did 195 00:09:54,920 --> 00:10:00,199 Speaker 1: about so, I put wires cards. Yeah, you know you 196 00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:03,240 Speaker 1: also did. I also did the tidy belt at eight 197 00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:06,880 Speaker 1: five miles also. But it's it's maybe you want to 198 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:09,880 Speaker 1: do spark plugs again before you leave.

Well, thank you on a good afternoon. 241 00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:16,680 Speaker 1: How are you doing? What's going on? Prius and I 242 00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:20,440 Speaker 1: recently added at a local dealer for some just basically 243 00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:24,839 Speaker 1: oil change service things like that, and they tried to 244 00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:30,400 Speaker 1: kind of recommended or selling met attitudes to put in 245 00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:34,040 Speaker 1: a into the gas tank like a fuel injection cleaner, 246 00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:37,240 Speaker 1: and then h also another attitude for the oil to 247 00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:38,960 Speaker 1: put into clean the motor and I just kind of 248 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,760 Speaker 1: was wondering what you thought about these things like that, 249 00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:44,319 Speaker 1: or that the car is about sixty seven thousand miles, 250 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:47,200 Speaker 1: it's been pretty good shape, didn't have the issues. Is 251 00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:50,120 Speaker 1: this your regular dealer Terry is just renormally go for service, 252 00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:53,439 Speaker 1: Yes it is. Yeah, Okay, Is this the first time 253 00:12:53,480 --> 00:13:01,360 Speaker 1: they've done it? Oh? I don't think so, think well no, 254 00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:02,560 Speaker 1: no, no no, I mean, is this the first time they've 255 00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:06,320 Speaker 1: tried selling you the additives? I don't recall, to be 256 00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:09,319 Speaker 1: honest with you, but I kind of was under the 257 00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:12,360 Speaker 1: impression that a person really, if you oil, you would 258 00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:14,680 Speaker 1: need an addities. I don't know, well, the oil additive, 259 00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:17,640 Speaker 1: you know, the oil editive is an interesting conversation. I 260 00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:21,840 Speaker 1: think if you're using proper viscosity, correct oil, correct spec 261 00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:25,640 Speaker 1: I don't you know. Years ago oil editives had their place, 262 00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:28,800 Speaker 1: I think, but nowadays, I think the oil is made 263 00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:31,960 Speaker 1: so well and if you're you're you're changing it properly 264 00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:36,160 Speaker 1: and you know, following at least manufacturers guidelines. If not, 265 00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:39,320 Speaker 1: you know, the rule of thumb three thousand, conventional, five thousand, 266 00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:41,720 Speaker 1: synthetic and so on. I don't know that you need 267 00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:43,600 Speaker 1: an oil editive. I don't know how much it's going 268 00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:46,760 Speaker 1: to add to the life of the engine. And you know, 269 00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:48,960 Speaker 1: I start to extrapulate things out in my head. If 270 00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:51,280 Speaker 1: the if the oil edited is twenty five dollars a bottle, 271 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:54,080 Speaker 1: and you throw one in every oil change, and you know, 272 00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:58,200 Speaker 1: you do, you do thirty oil changes. You know, three 273 00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:00,600 Speaker 1: times twenty five comes out to be quite a bit 274 00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:03,920 Speaker 1: of money. And and you know, all of a sudden, 275 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:07,640 Speaker 1: you're you're you're spending seven fifty thousand dollars on on 276 00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:11,079 Speaker 1: on what uh you know, the first set of alt 277 00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:13,920 Speaker 1: cover gaskets that you needed at at sixty thousand or 278 00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:16,679 Speaker 1: a hundred and sixty tho miles rather than what was 279 00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:19,720 Speaker 1: the point? I I don't I don't think the oil 280 00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:21,920 Speaker 1: editive has its place like it once did not, at 281 00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:23,720 Speaker 1: least not on your prius. If this was a g 282 00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:26,280 Speaker 1: d I. If this is a gas line direct injection car, 283 00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:29,960 Speaker 1: we're seeing issues with g d I guess line direct 284 00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:33,960 Speaker 1: injection newer model stuff that there are oil editives you 285 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,120 Speaker 1: can put in there that do help keep the oil 286 00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:38,720 Speaker 1: ring loose and free on the piston, that do help 287 00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:42,480 Speaker 1: generate and promote ring life and prevent carbon deposits. From 288 00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:45,560 Speaker 1: forming on top of the pistons. That makes sense, not 289 00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:49,400 Speaker 1: necessarily your application the fuel system cleaner in the tank. 290 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:52,600 Speaker 1: I'm wondering what they're selling you for thirty five bucks? Uh, 291 00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:55,000 Speaker 1: you know, I I see things top out in the 292 00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:58,200 Speaker 1: twenty to twenty five range. I've seen editors for ten bucks. 293 00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:01,520 Speaker 1: I've seen editors for fifteen. I think fuel system and 294 00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:04,360 Speaker 1: it is depending upon what you're using, has its place. 295 00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:08,120 Speaker 1: You know, fuel system cleaning, you know, pour in in 296 00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:13,240 Speaker 1: the tank, that's a whole separate technology, I think, and 297 00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:17,080 Speaker 1: that to me has value. Certain engines again, g d 298 00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:21,080 Speaker 1: I gasoline direct injection. It's it's tough to do carbon 299 00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:24,120 Speaker 1: cleaning in those engines because of their design, because of 300 00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:27,600 Speaker 1: how the injector is positioned directly into the cylinder, it 301 00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:30,840 Speaker 1: bypasses the valves and and and that's an issue. So 302 00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:34,200 Speaker 1: you you really want to um, how can I say, 303 00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:36,520 Speaker 1: you really want to be as sure as you can 304 00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:38,840 Speaker 1: that you're keeping it as clean as you can on 305 00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:42,840 Speaker 1: that prius, you know what a bottle of berriman Berriman 306 00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:45,160 Speaker 1: fuel system aditive and I think Barriman right now, as 307 00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:47,720 Speaker 1: I've said before, it's cutting edge because of all the 308 00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:50,720 Speaker 1: engineering that they go through to to change the market 309 00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:53,480 Speaker 1: and accommodate the different changes in fuel. You've got to 310 00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:55,480 Speaker 1: think about it like this. How many times do you 311 00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:57,520 Speaker 1: read in the paper where fuel blends change on a 312 00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:00,800 Speaker 1: regular basis, especially right the Midwest. I mean, they're always 313 00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:03,360 Speaker 1: going through a different blend of ethanol, additive and and 314 00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:06,320 Speaker 1: and so many different types of fuel, right, you see 315 00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:13,480 Speaker 1: that all the time? Terry that that yeah, yeah, right right, 316 00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:15,920 Speaker 1: they're going they're changed. So you know what Barryman's right 317 00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:19,560 Speaker 1: on top of that, They're they're they're changing their formulation 318 00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:22,080 Speaker 1: or they're modifying their formulation. And I don't know this 319 00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:24,520 Speaker 1: for sure, I'm assuming, but you know, I know the company. 320 00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:26,920 Speaker 1: I know what they do. Uh. You know, there's a 321 00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:29,360 Speaker 1: couple of mad scientists up there that that's that's what 322 00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:33,960 Speaker 1: they live for, and they're going to you know, meet 323 00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:37,840 Speaker 1: the meet the demand. And you know, fuel editives have 324 00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:40,320 Speaker 1: their place. Fuel additives are only as good as the 325 00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:42,680 Speaker 1: engineering that goes into it. And right now, for my money, 326 00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:45,920 Speaker 1: and I've said this before, Berryman's Berryman's the best editive 327 00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:48,520 Speaker 1: on the market Barriman Products dot Com. I could see 328 00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:51,480 Speaker 1: that the thirty five dollar additive and then if this 329 00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:53,320 Speaker 1: is the first time they've suggested it to you and 330 00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:56,400 Speaker 1: you've been there five six times before, it sounds like 331 00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:58,520 Speaker 1: the dealership just struck a deal with the local fuel 332 00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:00,680 Speaker 1: editive company and this is this is the way the 333 00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:03,280 Speaker 1: guy selling the parts at the counter or the service 334 00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:05,040 Speaker 1: at the counter is going to get his long furniture 335 00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:07,600 Speaker 1: for his pool this year.

Hey, 363 00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:44,600 Speaker 1: thanks for taking my call. Welcome. What's going on? I 364 00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:48,040 Speaker 1: have a two thousand two Toyota see in a minivan. 365 00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:52,160 Speaker 1: I bought it yous and and it runs great. Everything 366 00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:56,320 Speaker 1: on it works great except for one little problem. And 367 00:18:56,480 --> 00:19:00,640 Speaker 1: that is, uh, my key fob stopped stop up working. 368 00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:03,600 Speaker 1: And I did all the normal things you would do, 369 00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:06,320 Speaker 1: get a new one, check the battery and all that. 370 00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:09,960 Speaker 1: But the only other problem I think is associated with this. 371 00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:14,760 Speaker 1: My car continues to blow the number two fuse, the 372 00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:20,479 Speaker 1: number ten feuses, which controls the dome light and clock. Like. 373 00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:25,600 Speaker 1: I can drive my van from Carolina to Maryland everything 374 00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:27,400 Speaker 1: I work by, but by the time I get to Maryland, 375 00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:29,960 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, I knows my fuses blow, pick 376 00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,880 Speaker 1: it in and come back home. And I have a 377 00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:35,000 Speaker 1: fuse tester with the light on it. And when I 378 00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:37,879 Speaker 1: go to test all the fuses, there are a couple 379 00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:41,919 Speaker 1: of fuses that don't seem to light up. But everything 380 00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:43,760 Speaker 1: on the van does work except the key fob. But 381 00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:46,240 Speaker 1: those couple of don't work. I can put the tin 382 00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:48,960 Speaker 1: back in, it will start working again, and I can't 383 00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:52,000 Speaker 1: solve my prolem. Well, so the so the fuse that's 384 00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:54,920 Speaker 1: blowing is feeding the other circuits from from what you're 385 00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:57,720 Speaker 1: describing to me. So that's a that's the primary fuse 386 00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:01,119 Speaker 1: and those other subs and this is this is the 387 00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:04,280 Speaker 1: number ten fuse. Where in the in the passenger compartment, 388 00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:08,040 Speaker 1: fuse blonde in the engine coming? Okay, which one in 389 00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:12,000 Speaker 1: the engine compartment because there's well there's I believe there's 390 00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:13,600 Speaker 1: one or two? Is it? Is it in the long 391 00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:17,080 Speaker 1: thin strip on the lift on the driver's vendor. So 392 00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:19,199 Speaker 1: the number ten fuse, and they're telling you that that 393 00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:22,639 Speaker 1: fuse is for the dome lamp, and and what else 394 00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:26,600 Speaker 1: is on that circuit? Uh? The dome lamp, the clock. 395 00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:28,600 Speaker 1: If I gotta do it myself, so I can clearly 396 00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:30,880 Speaker 1: see that the dome. When that goes out, I can 397 00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:33,000 Speaker 1: pick it out and replace it. It all starts to work. 398 00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:36,119 Speaker 1: The dome lamp, my clock, and my electronic When I 399 00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:38,960 Speaker 1: pick my key in, I can unlock all the electronic 400 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:42,439 Speaker 1: doors with its work. Is the cigarette lighter on that 401 00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:48,000 Speaker 1: circuit by chance? Uh, that's a that's a good question. 402 00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:52,760 Speaker 1: I but I'm not one shut if it is, I 403 00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:57,479 Speaker 1: believe that. I don't know. That's a good question. You know. 404 00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:00,720 Speaker 1: I always I always look at cigarette lighters if they're 405 00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:03,359 Speaker 1: on that circuit, and I sort of think it is. 406 00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:06,880 Speaker 1: I'm not a certain but you know, I've I've I've 407 00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:09,240 Speaker 1: seen a lot of funny things with cigarette lighters in 408 00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:12,600 Speaker 1: terms of causing fuses to fail, and and and that's 409 00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:15,639 Speaker 1: an issue. What you've got to do, all right, And 410 00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:17,159 Speaker 1: what I will offer you is, do you have a 411 00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:22,000 Speaker 1: pencil and paper. It's easy enough to remember what I 412 00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:23,000 Speaker 1: want to do is I want to give him my 413 00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:30,520 Speaker 1: email address, all right, and what I what I wanted? Yeah, yeah, 414 00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:33,159 Speaker 1: I get it. Yeah, brother, I'm right there with him, 415 00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:35,320 Speaker 1: Arthur Ritis Who was it? That was Fred Sanford that 416 00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:39,680 Speaker 1: said that, Remember you couldn't uh human lamont um Ron 417 00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:44,000 Speaker 1: at Car Doctor Show dot com, Dwayne at Car Doctor 418 00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:46,359 Speaker 1: Show dot com, if you would, if you would send 419 00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:49,520 Speaker 1: me the seventeen digit vin you know, it's on the 420 00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:51,879 Speaker 1: registration or it's at the on the cow tag at 421 00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:56,520 Speaker 1: the base of the windshield and and just seventeen digit 422 00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:59,000 Speaker 1: serial number, the v I in the vehicle I D 423 00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:02,600 Speaker 1: number and reference that we spoke here on air that 424 00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:05,359 Speaker 1: it's fuse number ten and the engine compartment fuse block. 425 00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:07,520 Speaker 1: What I'm gonna do is I'm gonna find a wiring 426 00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:09,720 Speaker 1: diagram for that. I want to see how it's laid out, 427 00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:12,199 Speaker 1: and then we can have a conversation about how we're 428 00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:15,000 Speaker 1: gonna split that circuit in half, all right, because and 429 00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:17,760 Speaker 1: if the cigarette lighters are on that circuit, if the 430 00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:20,240 Speaker 1: cigarette lighters are on that circuit, and keep in mind 431 00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:23,199 Speaker 1: there may be cigarette lighters in the back too. Not 432 00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:26,520 Speaker 1: just yeah, okay, you know you gotta go you gotta 433 00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:28,560 Speaker 1: go look for the magic penny. You know what the 434 00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:32,000 Speaker 1: magic penny is. The magic penny is the penny that 435 00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,000 Speaker 1: the kid that had the car before you, the parent 436 00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:36,720 Speaker 1: that had the kid with the kid before you, they said, oh, look, 437 00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:39,360 Speaker 1: this penny fits into this cigarette lighters magic that can 438 00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:42,199 Speaker 1: make it disappear. And now the penny is I swear, 439 00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:45,760 Speaker 1: I've had this so many times, right, and it's always 440 00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:48,760 Speaker 1: the cigarette lighter all or the power port all the 441 00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:51,399 Speaker 1: way in the back that's on that circuit. And you're 442 00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:54,159 Speaker 1: and you're driving from North Carolina to Maryland, and you 443 00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:56,080 Speaker 1: hit that same bump in the road coming over the 444 00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:59,399 Speaker 1: Delaware Bridge or something, and and all of a sudden, boom, 445 00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:01,600 Speaker 1: the fuse blow. What happened? I don't know. You know, 446 00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:04,000 Speaker 1: you didn't even notice it. You know. Two months later 447 00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:06,480 Speaker 1: you find this penny in a cigarette letter. You go, well, 448 00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:09,800 Speaker 1: you can't say that on radio, but that's what you say. Um. Yeah, 449 00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:12,800 Speaker 1: but you get it, um, you know. And then I 450 00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:15,199 Speaker 1: just let's break the circuit in half, and let's we 451 00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:16,719 Speaker 1: can we can do a couple of things we can 452 00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:19,160 Speaker 1: do once we know how the circuit is is laid 453 00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:22,760 Speaker 1: out and lit up, you know, Um, when the when 454 00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:25,359 Speaker 1: the fuse is working, when the fuse is not blown, 455 00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:30,800 Speaker 1: is does the key fob work normally? No? No it 456 00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:32,880 Speaker 1: does not when it's not blown, No it does not. 457 00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:38,000 Speaker 1: So the key fob is a separate problem. Yeah, from 458 00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:40,520 Speaker 1: the sounds of it. Now, do you have a regular 459 00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:45,199 Speaker 1: mechanic that you go to, Yes, okay, you know you 460 00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:48,560 Speaker 1: could go see him and just ask him, say listen, 461 00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:51,280 Speaker 1: you know, and if he's gonna start diagnosis, but he 462 00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:53,160 Speaker 1: might be a nice guy. If he's got a tire 463 00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:57,760 Speaker 1: pressure monitoring tool, you know, a TPMs reset tool. What 464 00:23:57,880 --> 00:23:59,840 Speaker 1: you can do with those most of them on the 465 00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:04,000 Speaker 1: market today also have an r k E remote keyless 466 00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:08,520 Speaker 1: entry transmitter test and he can test your key fop 467 00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:12,679 Speaker 1: to see if it actually works. Totally separate and you know, 468 00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:14,840 Speaker 1: it's a quick, simple thing. If you're a regular customer, 469 00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:17,080 Speaker 1: you know you would do that for somebody. You would 470 00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:19,320 Speaker 1: just you know, click the button and does it transmit 471 00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:22,240 Speaker 1: the right signal and at least eliminate that portion of 472 00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:25,040 Speaker 1: it all right? Um? Now, would that be the same 473 00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:27,680 Speaker 1: thing that like auto zone and a half Because I 474 00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:29,879 Speaker 1: did go an auto zone and put a new battery 475 00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:33,879 Speaker 1: in and then and stand in front of something and yeah, 476 00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:35,879 Speaker 1: if you if you tested it, if they had the 477 00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:38,159 Speaker 1: ability to test it there, then yes, or that that 478 00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:40,080 Speaker 1: is pretty much the same thing. So you know it's 479 00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:42,360 Speaker 1: not you know, it's not the key fop. So now 480 00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:45,200 Speaker 1: you now you're into something else. Now you're into the 481 00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:48,439 Speaker 1: remote transmitter is not working. You'd have to see if 482 00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:51,159 Speaker 1: that's on that circuit as far as is it fused 483 00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:55,560 Speaker 1: or not, and and so on. Now, how do you 484 00:24:55,640 --> 00:25:00,399 Speaker 1: know there are no other blown fuses in this vehicle? Well, 485 00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:06,440 Speaker 1: everything onto the vehicle, Uh seems to work now. Uh. 486 00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:08,760 Speaker 1: One thing that doesn't work and I did inquire about 487 00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:10,320 Speaker 1: it is like you know, like you know, when you 488 00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:12,199 Speaker 1: shift the car and you go to park, you go 489 00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:15,880 Speaker 1: to drive, you go to my lightfoot the deed does 490 00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:18,199 Speaker 1: not come home. But I was told that there's a 491 00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:20,959 Speaker 1: bulb behind there and that that's a problem that has 492 00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:24,320 Speaker 1: happened before. Yeah, they're common, it's it's it's a little 493 00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:26,560 Speaker 1: tough to get to. So you know, if this is 494 00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:29,080 Speaker 1: if everything else works, if this is an older car 495 00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:31,080 Speaker 1: and it's got mileoge on it, you're just trying to 496 00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:33,680 Speaker 1: get by with it. So like I get that, but 497 00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:36,840 Speaker 1: you know, wiring isn't hard. It's a matter of but 498 00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:38,639 Speaker 1: you gotta have you gotta have a wiring diagram. And 499 00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:41,239 Speaker 1: if you don't have a wiring diagram, it's you know, 500 00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:46,720 Speaker 1: have you ever been to to Luca Lake, California? No, 501 00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:49,240 Speaker 1: but I'd like to go. Okay, but if you didn't 502 00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:52,080 Speaker 1: have a roadmap, how would you get there? And you 503 00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:55,320 Speaker 1: can't use it, and you can't use your GPS, and 504 00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:58,280 Speaker 1: you can't use a map, and you can't ask for directions. 505 00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:01,280 Speaker 1: You would never get there, would you? You can't get 506 00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:03,800 Speaker 1: there from here? So and and that's why when you're 507 00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:06,560 Speaker 1: trying to solve electrical problems, you gotta have a roadmap. 508 00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:09,320 Speaker 1: You gotta have a wiring diagram. And you know, you 509 00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:11,960 Speaker 1: gotta a wiring diagram and a handful of colored markers. 510 00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:14,200 Speaker 1: And I'll sit down at the shop and I'll print 511 00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:16,080 Speaker 1: it out. And what I'll do is I'll highlight everything 512 00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:17,720 Speaker 1: and then I'll go, let's see, I want to go 513 00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:20,720 Speaker 1: from here to here? What's in the middle? What's the midpoint? 514 00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:23,239 Speaker 1: You know? My job is my job as a as 515 00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:25,280 Speaker 1: a mechanic slash technician, is I gotta get to the 516 00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:27,840 Speaker 1: middle of the problem as fast as possible. And then 517 00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:33,359 Speaker 1: work my way out. And you know, sometimes thinking, sitting 518 00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:36,960 Speaker 1: and thinking is just as important as physical movement. And 519 00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:38,520 Speaker 1: you know that's why I when it comes to electrical 520 00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:40,720 Speaker 1: I will I will print out every wiring diagram I 521 00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:43,399 Speaker 1: think I need and maybe close to needing, and you know, 522 00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:45,600 Speaker 1: take a half hour and read and review, and then 523 00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:47,800 Speaker 1: go and attack the problem and you'll usually solve it 524 00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:50,239 Speaker 1: a lot quicker. So you can't get there from here 525 00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:52,400 Speaker 1: without a roadmap, brother, And that's what you're looking for, 526 00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:56,080 Speaker 1: all right. I appreciate your ration. Now you're welcome, sir. 527 00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:57,760 Speaker 1: You send me, you send me an email and I'll 528 00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:00,239 Speaker 1: listen to some information and we'll get it fixed. So 529 00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:04,920 Speaker 1: thank you, sir. I'm glad to be here for you. Um. Yeah, 530 00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:06,840 Speaker 1: that's just that's just the way it is. Man. It's 531 00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:09,040 Speaker 1: just you know, I can't tell you how many times. 532 00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:11,800 Speaker 1: And you know it's a hard habit to get into. 533 00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:14,919 Speaker 1: When you're taught go go, go, fix, fix fix. The 534 00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:16,080 Speaker 1: first thing you want to do is you want to 535 00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:18,280 Speaker 1: go up to the car and take something off it. Okay, 536 00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:21,320 Speaker 1: did that? Fix it? Now? Moron, grab a book, read something. 537 00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:23,040 Speaker 1: You know, you gotta beat yourself over the head a 538 00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:25,720 Speaker 1: couple of times, and it's you know, but that's the 539 00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:28,639 Speaker 1: way it is, right you. How's that expression go twice 540 00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:31,720 Speaker 1: once bit and twice learned or something like that, which 541 00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:34,359 Speaker 1: sort of means, um, you know, every time you get burned, 542 00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:36,439 Speaker 1: you learn from it, you move on, and you get smarter. 543 00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:40,960 Speaker 1: So zero zero run Indian car Doctor getting smarter all 544 00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:44,240 Speaker 1: the time, I hope, And if Mikey's nice to me, 545 00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:53,439 Speaker 1: I'll be back right after this. Welcome back, Naing the 546 00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:56,440 Speaker 1: car Doctor eight five zero nine zero. What's good to 547 00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:59,880 Speaker 1: talk to? Tom? Who wants to talk about YouTube mechanics? Oh? Boy, 548 00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:01,720 Speaker 1: you know I was reading about this the other day 549 00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:04,800 Speaker 1: that the YouTube mechanic thing is kind of turning the 550 00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:07,600 Speaker 1: industry on. It's here. Everybody's either either you're for it 551 00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:09,320 Speaker 1: or against it. Tom, Where do you stand? What do 552 00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:12,320 Speaker 1: you got to say? Hi? How about you? Ron? I've 553 00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:16,200 Speaker 1: been listening to a long time to Um, I'm just 554 00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:22,600 Speaker 1: gonna let you have thoughts are on the YouTube mechanics. Well, 555 00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:27,000 Speaker 1: there's a couple out there that literally have millions of subscribers. 556 00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:30,320 Speaker 1: I think you know who I mean. I think some 557 00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:32,080 Speaker 1: of them are gonna think you know, I think some 558 00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:34,320 Speaker 1: of them have value Tom. I. You know, I'm not 559 00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:36,000 Speaker 1: gonna lie. There are moments I go to YouTube and 560 00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:37,960 Speaker 1: I'll say, gee, how does that work? I can't find 561 00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:40,960 Speaker 1: proper information in any of the information systems I have, 562 00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,680 Speaker 1: and I've got more than a few. But I think 563 00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:46,920 Speaker 1: you have to be careful. I think the problem and 564 00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:50,760 Speaker 1: the danger in counting on YouTube to fix cars is 565 00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:53,360 Speaker 1: you sort of got to know what you're looking for, 566 00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:56,080 Speaker 1: because there are some people out there that will you know, 567 00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:58,120 Speaker 1: it's like the blind leading the blind, and they'll get 568 00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:02,240 Speaker 1: you in trouble before you before you even know you're there. Yeah. 569 00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:05,120 Speaker 1: I mean there's an old guy that's on there from 570 00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:08,480 Speaker 1: Texas and he has I don't know, three million subscribers. 571 00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:14,320 Speaker 1: One of his views had over happened billion views, and 572 00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:19,200 Speaker 1: he bashes every car company except for one. Which one 573 00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:25,640 Speaker 1: does he like? I'm sorry, which one does he like? Uh? 574 00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:31,520 Speaker 1: The only one he writes is Toyota. Well then you know, listen, 575 00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:34,720 Speaker 1: you know, I kid about car companies that I like 576 00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:38,360 Speaker 1: and don't like, you know, even Volkswagen. It's sort of 577 00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:40,280 Speaker 1: a you know, it's sort of a stick. Listen. Every 578 00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:42,480 Speaker 1: every entertainer has to have a certain amount of stick 579 00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:45,880 Speaker 1: to him. Um, I think Volkswagens present some challenges and 580 00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:47,400 Speaker 1: I still look at him and some of the things 581 00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:49,920 Speaker 1: they do and I don't understand their engineering. But it's 582 00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:52,000 Speaker 1: still a decent car. It can be. You just gotta 583 00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:53,720 Speaker 1: be want to put up with the with the with 584 00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:57,880 Speaker 1: the idiosyncrasies of it. I don't think bashing a car company, 585 00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:01,560 Speaker 1: unless that's what people want to say, you know, on 586 00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:04,880 Speaker 1: a full time basis, really accomplishes anything. So you know, 587 00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:08,520 Speaker 1: the question is gonna effex cars. Um. Yeah, I mean 588 00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:13,000 Speaker 1: you could literally put put down the three. He's got 589 00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:15,840 Speaker 1: so many views, you know, and and you know, and 590 00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:19,960 Speaker 1: that's and and that's a problem. Listen. You know people 591 00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:21,959 Speaker 1: ask me all the time what kind of car to buy? 592 00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:23,920 Speaker 1: All Right, I'll tell you the conversation. I'll give you 593 00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:25,760 Speaker 1: the conversation in two minutes. The what kind of car 594 00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:27,960 Speaker 1: to buy speech? I think the kind of car to 595 00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:31,160 Speaker 1: buy speech is no particular order. I think there's five 596 00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:36,960 Speaker 1: that you look at, Ford, Toyota, GM, Honda, Chrysler, with 597 00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:41,840 Speaker 1: nods towards the brand auxiliary brands like Chrysler it's cheap, Honda, 598 00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:44,680 Speaker 1: it's accurate, Toyota, it's lexus. I think those are some 599 00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:48,200 Speaker 1: you know, those are all reasonably pretty close car companies 600 00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:51,440 Speaker 1: in that in that in that same vein. I think 601 00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:53,960 Speaker 1: Nissans in the second tier. I see a lot of 602 00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:55,840 Speaker 1: weird things with Nissans, and I have a lot of 603 00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:57,960 Speaker 1: friends at Nissan dealers that, you know, point out some 604 00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:01,160 Speaker 1: things that I wonder about Nissan some times. Um, I 605 00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:04,480 Speaker 1: think Hyundai is a decent car company. UM hund might 606 00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:05,960 Speaker 1: be in the top five tier, might be a top 607 00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:08,960 Speaker 1: six tier. But I think there's some car companies that 608 00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:12,720 Speaker 1: you look at Mitsubishi, you know, we don't see a 609 00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:16,320 Speaker 1: lot of Mitsubishi's anymore, and I blame that on the company. 610 00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:19,040 Speaker 1: Their presence and their footprint in the marketplace isn't strong 611 00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:21,920 Speaker 1: right now. And you know it's not the car you buy. Listen, 612 00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:25,600 Speaker 1: everything works when it's no or it's supposed to anyway, Uh, 613 00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:28,360 Speaker 1: it's it's when it breaks. Can you get information? Can 614 00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:31,080 Speaker 1: you get access to parts? How quick can it get there? 615 00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:34,280 Speaker 1: What sort of engineering backs it up? You know, there's 616 00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:37,440 Speaker 1: a reason why snap On Tools does so well. You 617 00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:39,120 Speaker 1: ever look at the snap On tool truck and the 618 00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:43,160 Speaker 1: price of a wrench set, right you know, Yeah, it's 619 00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:47,160 Speaker 1: five for a wrench set. And you know, you say 620 00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:49,680 Speaker 1: to yourself, why, there's a lot of engineering that goes 621 00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:52,240 Speaker 1: into that stuff. And even their wrenches are well thought out. 622 00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:55,240 Speaker 1: And unfortunately, that's the price you have to pay to 623 00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:58,440 Speaker 1: get a quality wrench set that does the job it's 624 00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:01,280 Speaker 1: supposed to do. And I had to warranty it's supposed 625 00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:04,160 Speaker 1: to provide. And that's just the cost of being there. 626 00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:07,560 Speaker 1: But back to the original comment YouTube mechanics, I think 627 00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:09,800 Speaker 1: there's places in there you can get into trouble. I 628 00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:12,880 Speaker 1: think there's places in there. Some guys really provide some 629 00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:16,160 Speaker 1: great timely tips. The ones that really smoked me, Tom, 630 00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:18,720 Speaker 1: the ones that I really kind of chuckle at. There 631 00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:23,240 Speaker 1: are the professional a s C Certified Master mechanics and 632 00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:25,800 Speaker 1: they're working your moving parts and they've all got their 633 00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:30,000 Speaker 1: wedding rings on. And yeah, I look at that and 634 00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:33,320 Speaker 1: I chuckle. You know, in forty three years and my 635 00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:36,000 Speaker 1: wife knows I'm married, and I know I'm married. I 636 00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:37,680 Speaker 1: don't need a ring to prove it. I don't wear 637 00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:39,800 Speaker 1: it at work because I don't want to lose a finger. 638 00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:43,440 Speaker 1: And you know, they're wearing watches, they're wearing rings. It's 639 00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:46,600 Speaker 1: you know, that's that's not too smart, So I don't know. 640 00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:48,480 Speaker 1: I think I take YouTube with a with a grain 641 00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:51,480 Speaker 1: of salt. I think it's got its place. I think 642 00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:53,240 Speaker 1: it can help you out if you know what you're 643 00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:54,760 Speaker 1: looking for. But I think it can also get you 644 00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:58,760 Speaker 1: into trouble. So you just gotta be careful, all right, sir. Yeah, 645 00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:01,040 Speaker 1: you're very welcome. You a good Karen, Thanks for being 646 00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:04,480 Speaker 1: part of the Car Doctor family.

It just 653 00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:28,680 Speaker 1: had normal issues and need a new trans They put 654 00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:30,400 Speaker 1: a new trans in, took the car off for a 655 00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:33,600 Speaker 1: road test and the vehicle stalled and it was something 656 00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:37,680 Speaker 1: that wasn't there when they replaced before the transmission was replaced. 657 00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:39,720 Speaker 1: And the only thing they did is part of the 658 00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:42,600 Speaker 1: transmission overhaul of the transmission replacement was they put a 659 00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:45,240 Speaker 1: new trans oil cooler in it.

They 662 00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:51,280 Speaker 1: put it out there to the mitchell One Shure Track 663 00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:54,120 Speaker 1: community and people came back with a bunch of ideas 664 00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:56,959 Speaker 1: and some different experiences that they had, And it turns 665 00:33:56,960 --> 00:33:59,160 Speaker 1: out that one of the fellas said was that he 666 00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:01,560 Speaker 1: had had a couple of the tork converter clutch solonoids 667 00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:04,960 Speaker 1: had sticking a sticking pentel, meaning they apply hydraulic fluid 668 00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:07,760 Speaker 1: through a circuit to turn on the toru converter clutch 669 00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:09,759 Speaker 1: to lock it up because they're going to lock up 670 00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:12,480 Speaker 1: for direct drive so that the RPMs go lower and 671 00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:17,080 Speaker 1: there's less trans slippage, better fuel economy and better operation. Well, 672 00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:20,719 Speaker 1: in his case, the torqu converter clutch wasn't releasing, and 673 00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:23,000 Speaker 1: the reason it wasn't releasing because it was a flow 674 00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:27,080 Speaker 1: problem through the cooler according to this, and they ended 675 00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:31,720 Speaker 1: up replacing the new trans cooler with another new trans cooler. 676 00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:35,240 Speaker 1: Right new never ever worked and it solved the problem. 677 00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:37,440 Speaker 1: So the new translate mission oil cooler was not flowing. 678 00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:40,759 Speaker 1: They checked fluid flow first through by trying to pass 679 00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:42,719 Speaker 1: there with no success. They replaced the oil cooler with 680 00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:45,560 Speaker 1: another cooler and the vehicle operated as it was intended. 681 00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:48,400 Speaker 1: How'd you like to be that guy right trans in 682 00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:50,720 Speaker 1: the car because the trans was slipping.

They did another trans, thinking the fault was 685 00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:57,799 Speaker 1: in the new trans.
