Speaker 1: thank you, sir um. Follow up question that came to

45
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 1: mind when you guys are talking about Tom's boat and

46
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 1: his tire. Yeah, it recently. Has there been any Are

47
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 1: there any companies out there that manufacturer a tp MS

48
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:46,919
Speaker 1: center for those of us who have vehicles before TPMs

49
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:48,800
Speaker 1: came out, so that in the case where we do

50
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 1: pick up a screw a boat while driving, we can

51
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 1: get a basic white that will pop on. So we're

52
00:02:54,680 --> 00:03:01,519
Speaker 1: not we're not on ninety five variety going sixty when, yeah,

53
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 1: you know where there are companies out there? I nothing

54
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 1: comes to mind, but I have seen them that somebody

55
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 1: has come up with a way to retro fit a

56
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:12,080
Speaker 1: pre two thousand eight automobile with TPMs centers that you

57
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 1: can do it, sure, I and you know some of it.

58
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 1: I like some of it. I don't. I I think

59
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 1: we're a TPMs sensor becomes an invaluable tool is on

60
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 1: a car with run flats. I'm not real crazy about

61
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 1: run flat tires because at least if you have TPMs

62
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 1: in the car and you don't have run flat. The

63
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 1: problem becomes the tire loses air and in a lot

64
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,119
Speaker 1: of cases, that run flat tire will hold the car

65
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 1: up and it'll look normal and you won't you won't know.

66
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 1: For a while. We've had more than a few people

67
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 1: pull into the shop that it's it's an older vehicle

68
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 1: with run flats without t pms, and they're complaining about

69
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 1: the vehicle polls to the left or the right, or

70
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 1: the back end sways going around a corner. And it's

71
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 1: been like that for two weeks and we just had

72
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 1: a chance to bring it and you know, we go

73
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 1: for a riding. Yeah, sure enough, it doesn't basics. You

74
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 1: look at suspension and you check tire pressure and the

75
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 1: tire has got zero pounds of air in it because

76
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 1: it's got a giant nail in it that nobody saw,

77
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 1: and um, they're driving around with no tire pressure, and uh,

78
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 1: you know, for that reason, I think retro fitting an

79
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 1: older vehicle makes perfect sense. You know, I can't think

80
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:22,720
Speaker 1: of any brands. I'm not familiar with any brands at

81
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 1: the top of my head. Something I trust, but by

82
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 1: all means I could research it we could talk about

83
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 1: it up here on air if you like, um, uh

84
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 1: to see who you know, see what makes sense. I

85
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:35,599
Speaker 1: think my overall concern would be, uh, you know again,

86
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 1: quality of component. Is it going to be a kid

87
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:39,719
Speaker 1: made an assembled here in the US. Is it gonna

88
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:43,039
Speaker 1: be something from our from our you know, our next state, China.

89
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 1: Is it gonna be uh you know, where does it

90
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:47,840
Speaker 1: come from? And how does it get here? Because as

91
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:50,360
Speaker 1: we all know, new means never ever worked in our library,

92
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, we're always concerned about parts we're

93
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 1: putting in cars. So but good question, and I'll have

94
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:57,840
Speaker 1: to I'll do a little research on that. We'll talk

95
00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 1: about an upcoming show. All right, sir, thanks, you're very welcome.

96
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 1: You have a good rest of the day. Let's get

97
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 1: over and talk too. Well, let's go talk to Alan

98
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:06,720
Speaker 1: and Wisconsin a way Honda Odyssey. Allen, Welcome to the

99
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:09,720
Speaker 1: car Doctor. What's going on? Hi? Yeah, thanks for taking

100
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 1: my call. You're awesome. Um, yeah, you know, I'm My

101
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:15,720
Speaker 1: fear is that I'm chasing an issue that perhaps Honda

102
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 1: hasn't totally addressed with the soft break pedal. They had

103
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:22,479
Speaker 1: the recall um and that apparently that work has been done.

104
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 1: We had the carsons knew we had the recall done.

105
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 1: But I've been chasing a soft break pedal ever since,

106
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 1: and it seems the car has only got a hundred

107
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 1: twenty thousand on it. It's in great shape, taking care

108
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:34,840
Speaker 1: of everything really well UM and recently did the break

109
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:39,159
Speaker 1: UM last last fall, UM completely readid them all the

110
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 1: way around. UM break pedal was better then, but after

111
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 1: months definitely is really soft again. And even by Whites

112
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:49,839
Speaker 1: noticing it now. Before I thought I'll just be an

113
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:52,919
Speaker 1: ultra picky UM, but she's even noticed it now, and

114
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 1: we've got another fourth child and it seems a little

115
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:57,600
Speaker 1: leary of it. You can and you can pump the

116
00:05:57,640 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 1: brakes up and make them work better, but you are

117
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:01,799
Speaker 1: only doing that pump thing to get a high pedal.

118
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,719
Speaker 1: And even last last week I did send it to

119
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 1: a reputable garage and they said, disbelieve the brakes. Do

120
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 1: whatever you gotta do UM, which I had recently done

121
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 1: last year. I had completely drained all the brake fluid

122
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 1: and re redid everything. UM. I had been a mechanic

123
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:18,840
Speaker 1: for a few years and back in the day, so

124
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 1: I feel like it did everything like I should on there. Um,

125
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 1: they got no extra air out of there, because I

126
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,040
Speaker 1: felt like every time I've brought the brakes they've gotten

127
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 1: a little better. But again, I don't know if I'm

128
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 1: chasing something that just is built in defect of these

129
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:34,719
Speaker 1: Honda odysseys from Honda. For a little insight from you.

130
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:38,479
Speaker 1: So when you're talking about Honda did some breakwork to

131
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:41,599
Speaker 1: it or a brake recall, what was the recall? Because

132
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 1: there it was that Yeah, that was back in two

133
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 1: thousand kind of wasn't you know? That one? It was

134
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 1: with the apparently every time the car would start up

135
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:51,839
Speaker 1: with that vs vs A modulator, it would do like

136
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,039
Speaker 1: a self check. And when it did it, they said

137
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 1: that it would um it took you know, micro amounts

138
00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:00,160
Speaker 1: of air would get in the system. So what they

139
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,279
Speaker 1: would do you do the recall? They said they capped

140
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:05,480
Speaker 1: and basically seal off these two little holes on that

141
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 1: ds A modular modulator. That was their recall. Yeah, and

142
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 1: and it's just never been right ever since. Yeah, even

143
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 1: because that and that's what caused the reek, you know,

144
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 1: that was their things for the recall. Since we honestly,

145
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 1: we drove this car up a lot. I've never impressed

146
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 1: with the brakes on this this car um it always

147
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 1: had a softer pedal, and I feel like I've been

148
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 1: chasing it since when we bought it. So let me

149
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 1: ask you this, This has anti lock brake on it, right, Yes,

150
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 1: And you've got the antilock break controller is probably the

151
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 1: same boss set up antilock break controller that everybody's had

152
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 1: since time and memorial. Uh. You know, with the multitude

153
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 1: of lines, you've got four lines I think probably two

154
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 1: lines going in, four lines coming out, and it's got

155
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 1: the it's got the big roughly thirty thirty two pin

156
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 1: connector bulkhead connector on the one end, which is pretty

157
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 1: much the same maybe as controller that everybody seems to

158
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 1: run it, just the configurations slightly different. So you know,

159
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 1: have you thought of just to eliminate master cylinder? Not

160
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 1: knowing what's been done to this. Is this the original Master?

161
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 1: Just I'm sure it's not. I'm guessing by now somebody

162
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 1: changed it's the original Master. And I was actually I'm

163
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 1: to the point where I was going to do it,

164
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 1: and I was one shop said, you know, because they

165
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 1: said there was this issue from Honda that and I

166
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 1: read some forums. I'm trying to you know, over the

167
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 1: years of rediforums, and I was kind of talked out

168
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 1: of it, but I'm to the point where I feel

169
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 1: like changing that master cylinder. You know, well, it's original.

170
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 1: I mean, this car has been bulletproof since the beginning

171
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 1: I paid it about so you know, there are ways

172
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 1: there are kids out there. I forget how I found it,

173
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:42,559
Speaker 1: because I actually went through this with a Ford expedition

174
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 1: about two years ago, and there are kids out there.

175
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 1: You can find that. I purchased some fittings that allowed

176
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 1: me to block off the master cylinder and just make

177
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:57,320
Speaker 1: the master a standalone component. And you know, step on

178
00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 1: the brake pedal and how's the brake pedal? Break pedal

179
00:08:59,920 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 1: was good? Okay, and you kind of work your way

180
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 1: down the line and you can do that. Um, you

181
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 1: could also take the perspective of it's twelve years old,

182
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:08,839
Speaker 1: it's got a hundred twenty miles on it. Do you

183
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 1: want to put a master in it and cut the chase?

184
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 1: Because here's here's here's the rub. All right, let's talk

185
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 1: about all the things that make lousy break pedals. All right,

186
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,199
Speaker 1: it can be obviously, it can be a master air

187
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 1: in the system a bad master. It can be the

188
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 1: um distance the push rod goes into the back of

189
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 1: the booster, all right, you know the push rod itself

190
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 1: at the brake pedal pivot. Okay, And you know I've

191
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 1: gotten under the hoods and are under the dashes of

192
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 1: some of these cars. And I gotta tell you it

193
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 1: seems like it's more common on Honda's. I can't tell

194
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 1: you any particular model, but I seem to be under

195
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 1: there more than you know anything else. And I'll find

196
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:47,320
Speaker 1: that if I slowly push on the pedal and watch

197
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:50,720
Speaker 1: when it actually picks up the booster. Oh, there's maybe

198
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 1: sometimes there's maybe a little bit more of a gap

199
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:57,960
Speaker 1: before it actually picks up. It's like it's just sloppy

200
00:09:58,000 --> 00:09:59,679
Speaker 1: going into the hole where it doesn't pick up the

201
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:02,559
Speaker 1: poos the booster right away, and that affects pedal height.

202
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:04,079
Speaker 1: And there there should be a way, there should be

203
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 1: a jam nut. Now, you don't want to over overdo that.

204
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 1: You don't want to overextend that and make it make

205
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 1: it too tight. You don't want that to have contact.

206
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 1: You don't want that laying against the pedal because you

207
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 1: run the risk of always applying the booster if you

208
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:22,679
Speaker 1: follow what I'm saying in that, okay, and you can

209
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:24,720
Speaker 1: you can cheat and get a little pedal height out

210
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 1: of it that way. The other thing to look at is,

211
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:30,080
Speaker 1: let's talk about is this a four wheel disc car

212
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 1: or is this a front disc rear drum car. It's

213
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 1: a four wheels okay. Calipers absolutely positively have to move

214
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 1: freely on the branckets. I'm sure you're familiar with it,

215
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:43,400
Speaker 1: uh you know, but they have to move freely because

216
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 1: that's obviously how it makes it makes its adjustment. Um

217
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,560
Speaker 1: you know, obviously air is an issue. And then we're

218
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 1: down to there's only two things left. Well three, One

219
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:55,200
Speaker 1: it's a bad design to it's a bad Master. Three

220
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 1: it's a problem with the A B S controller. There's

221
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:00,960
Speaker 1: there's nothing else there. You know. If if I know

222
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 1: of no way for a brake hose or a brake

223
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 1: line that's not leaking to cause a soft pedal, uh

224
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 1: you know, I can see it where a brake hose

225
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:11,319
Speaker 1: could cause a vehicle to pull or a brake to

226
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 1: lock on. But as far as a soft pedal, yeah, now,

227
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 1: I've never seen that. And you could eliminate the Master

228
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:21,959
Speaker 1: by capping the lines but the last thing I was

229
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 1: gonna say to you was at a hundred and twenty

230
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 1: thousand miles. Although in this case, maybe this car has

231
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 1: got clean break fluid, how cleans the brake fluid? The

232
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:31,080
Speaker 1: brake fluid has any kind of dirt or contaminant in it?

233
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:35,200
Speaker 1: You know, My conversation to customers always, look, we're gonna

234
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:38,080
Speaker 1: put a master on it first, because break fluid in

235
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 1: this condition. I'm not putting what's probably a twelve A

236
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 1: B S controller depending upon which manufacturer you're buying it from,

237
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:49,560
Speaker 1: on the vehicle plus labor and then gonna pump all

238
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 1: this dirty break fluid in it. I'm gonna put a

239
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 1: master on it anyway. And you know it's it's how

240
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 1: do you want to attack it? And how do you

241
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 1: want to you know, how do you want to call

242
00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:02,320
Speaker 1: the ball here? So best? God brother? Um, well, I

243
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 1: appreciate that. And there's a couple of you know, that's

244
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 1: a couple two things I was gonna do. Is I

245
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:09,200
Speaker 1: did read about that adjusting not behind the master for

246
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:12,560
Speaker 1: the pedal, and I also did do the fluid change it.

247
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:16,320
Speaker 1: If I do the master, should I do that fluid again? Yeah? Absolutely,

248
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 1: you can't. Well when you say do the fluid again,

249
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:20,840
Speaker 1: what do you mean bleed the whole system? I did.

250
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 1: I basically flushed the whole system last year. I did

251
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 1: the break job right now? Is there And I don't

252
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:27,080
Speaker 1: know without a scan tool in front of me, But

253
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 1: I'm wondering if there is a regenerative regenerative bleed procedure

254
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:34,520
Speaker 1: and a scan tool for this vehicle requiring a scan tool.

255
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 1: Bleed usually on the A B S controllers. There is

256
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 1: where they will they'll work, you know, GM does it,

257
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:43,439
Speaker 1: Toyota does it for does it where they'll work the

258
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:47,440
Speaker 1: little valves inside the A B S controller and make

259
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 1: it um, you know, burp all the air that's possibly

260
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:52,440
Speaker 1: trapped inside there. So you want to check on that.

261
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:54,959
Speaker 1: As far as procedure, that doesn't come to mind on

262
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:56,839
Speaker 1: a Honda, I don't think there is, but I just

263
00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 1: want to mention it before I let you go. Yeah,

264
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 1: I appreciate I actual and had that shop do that

265
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:04,080
Speaker 1: and he said there wasn't for this one. Yeah, So

266
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 1: just like you're the king, all right, you let me know.

267
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 1: Keep me posted, brother, You got it, Thank you, You're welcome.

268
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 1: But by five zero zero run on the any of

269
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 1: the car doctor coming back right after this need advice

270
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:30,320
Speaker 1: on how they're maintaining that classic g t O. Ron

271
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:34,199
Speaker 1: is the guy five five five zero nine zero zero.

272
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 1: Here's Ron. You know what's really fascinating if you look

273
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 1: at older cars I was doing. I was looking at

274
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 1: a YouTube video the other day and they're they're showing

275
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:45,640
Speaker 1: assembly of three two barrels. You know, the way they

276
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 1: were manufactured. All those little parts and screws and tabs

277
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:53,679
Speaker 1: and linkages and seals and throw and and carburetor body

278
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 1: castings and all the parts kept the factories working day

279
00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 1: and night and night and day, and everybody was working.

280
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:03,080
Speaker 1: Everybody is making money fixing cars and building carburetors. And

281
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 1: there were so many intricate pieces. It just the wonder.

282
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:07,480
Speaker 1: It had to go away. It was way too complicated.

283
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:09,719
Speaker 1: So let's go over to Lee and mainly welcome to

284
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 1: the car doctor. Sir, How can I help whom I

285
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 1: speaking to? Run? How are you the real run? There's

286
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:24,440
Speaker 1: only one I wanted to ask you questions. Before I

287
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 1: grew up in went near New Jersey. You know, I'm

288
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 1: a little bit older, but I didn't know if I

289
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 1: was that. What's older? And you work overhead or your

290
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 1: father was your father in the business. No, my father

291
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 1: was an airline mechanic during the war. My father passed

292
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 1: in sixty eight when I was eleven years old. Well,

293
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 1: you know, I grew up there. There was a three

294
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 1: wheelers coustule full up Marshtown, New Jersey, and and I

295
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 1: was always going to call you and see if you

296
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 1: ever U. But let's get back to what we're talking about. Uh,

297
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 1: what if my problem? He heard your show the other day.

298
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 1: You had a guy with a uh GM pick up

299
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 1: and he wouldn't start here it would stock. I had

300
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 1: the same thing. Uh what happened to me? It wouldn't

301
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 1: start one day, I would not a garage and nothing,

302
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 1: And I call the record come in what I called

303
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 1: the my GM dealer and I oh, I said, I

304
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:32,160
Speaker 1: think I need a starter. You don't know. We replaced

305
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 1: more batteries and start us. Okay, so you had the

306
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 1: guy come pick it up. The guy comes in there

307
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 1: but the record and he gets in the card and

308
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 1: he turns the key. He started. I said, what why

309
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 1: did start? He swoll ant I that door was on.

310
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 1: I never saw that before my life. Anyway, he leaves

311
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 1: and I go out there, said, let me go check us.

312
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 1: No stock, so I take it up. I called the record,

313
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 1: you know, h to come get it and take it

314
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 1: up there. They put batteries in it, but it was

315
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 1: always a lazy start. It takes four or five uh

316
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 1: turns start. So they go up there. They put three

317
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 1: I don't know. It was almost worth the batteries, and

318
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 1: I still didn't sound any better then I knew how

319
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:33,720
Speaker 1: it started. So it's okay, So I go here, I'm

320
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 1: going to still there. Run. I'm still here, baby, but

321
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 1: you gotta hurry up. It's only it's only it's only

322
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:40,480
Speaker 1: a one hour it's only a one hour segment this week. Okay,

323
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 1: So the way I go down to Virginia. Here, I'm

324
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 1: going to Virginia. I get down there, thousand miles all

325
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:48,640
Speaker 1: the way down. I didn't like the way it started.

326
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 1: I get down there, no start, I gotta get it.

327
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 1: Uh towed to a GM dealer down there to wound up.

328
00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 1: There was a they put a you know, took hundred

329
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 1: dollars and wound up to be the starter. Well, and sometimes,

330
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 1: you know, sometimes the simple problems can be simple solutions.

331
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:18,000
Speaker 1: I don't, but but here's what, here's what the mechanics

332
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 1: are up against all right, I know, I know, I know,

333
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 1: it's all like computer stuff. And I heard, you know,

334
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 1: that's what he told me. I remember what you were saying,

335
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:30,200
Speaker 1: tech and checking juice to the starter. I mean, I've

336
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:32,920
Speaker 1: been around a long time, but I mean I had

337
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:34,880
Speaker 1: it in the garage. I can't go up there and

338
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:43,239
Speaker 1: by myself. But don't Uh that's dot's see what it was.

339
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 1: It was there was a contact in the starter that

340
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:54,919
Speaker 1: wasn't contacting I guess, well, either that or the solemn

341
00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:57,120
Speaker 1: but whatever, we don't you know, you know, we don't

342
00:17:57,119 --> 00:17:59,200
Speaker 1: break things down, and thanks for the call. By the way,

343
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 1: we don't break things is down as far as um

344
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 1: you know, components in the starter. We get to the

345
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:07,639
Speaker 1: point of where it's a starter. Nobody rebuilds starters anymore

346
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 1: because it's just not practical. But um, I get it.

347
00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 1: I appreciate the call, and it's nice to talk to

348
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:14,680
Speaker 1: somebody that's been around in the business for a long time. Hey,

349
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:17,160
Speaker 1: that's about it for this segment. Folks. Remember if you're

350
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:19,520
Speaker 1: likely up in Maine and you need some parts, check

00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 1: out omni Craft omni craft autoparts dot com. They're commonly

352
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:27,480
Speaker 1: used maintenance and light repair parts, oil filters, breakpads, rotors, calipers,

353
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:29,960
Speaker 1: some of the electrical wheelhubs, assemblies. You know you've trusted

354
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:33,479
Speaker 1: Motorcraft for decades, Now try Omnicraft back by Ford. Omni

355
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:45,120
Speaker 1: Craft provides part solutions for non forward vehicles. Fuck im back.

356
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:47,280
Speaker 1: Weren't any of the car doctor here. I want to

357
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:50,400
Speaker 1: talk a little bit about Sean. Sean was a uh well,

358
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:53,840
Speaker 1: I sort of see Sean at the shop when there's

359
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:58,119
Speaker 1: a problem, and you know, I'm not picking on Sean.

360
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 1: He's a good guy. I just you know, you try

361
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 1: to educate people in the process of order repair and

362
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:06,720
Speaker 1: what it's all about. It's it's you know, doing things

363
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:08,480
Speaker 1: at the last minute is just not a good thing.

364
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:12,520
Speaker 1: About two years ago, maybe two and a half, I

365
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:14,439
Speaker 1: saw a show and he needed some breaks on his buick.

366
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 1: We did breaks, and you know, established the relationship and

367
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:18,919
Speaker 1: I thought it was a good first state and it was.

368
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 1: And he came back a second time. We did an

369
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:22,760
Speaker 1: oil change and we were kind of like, you know,

370
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:24,160
Speaker 1: we were on our way to the movies and having

371
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:28,119
Speaker 1: dinner together and it was rolling right along and the

372
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 1: next step, I don't know, somewhere along in the next step.

373
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:32,920
Speaker 1: He got busy and he mixed missed his next oil

374
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:34,880
Speaker 1: change and it was closer to work, and he took

375
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:38,159
Speaker 1: it to work and they did the oil change, and um,

376
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:40,280
Speaker 1: and after that I lost him and I lost track

377
00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:42,760
Speaker 1: of him, and he was kind of gone. And then

378
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:46,440
Speaker 1: about four or five months ago, he called up. He

379
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 1: was at the dealer. We was getting the oil change

380
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 1: because it was right around the corner from work, and

381
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 1: he needed a timing chain, they told him, and he

382
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:55,440
Speaker 1: had to put it. They had to put a timing

383
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:57,080
Speaker 1: chain in it. So they you know, he wanted to

384
00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:59,120
Speaker 1: know what I think, and we kind of kid, it's

385
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:00,680
Speaker 1: a little bit, and I it, Yeah, it sounds like

386
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 1: you need a timing chain, and I guess this is

387
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:05,240
Speaker 1: what you gotta do. And um, you know, three thousand

388
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 1: dollars later, they put a timing chain in his two

389
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:09,680
Speaker 1: thousand eleven Publick regal and you know, whatever it had,

390
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 1: it didn't have a lot of miles on it, seventy

391
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:16,000
Speaker 1: thousand miles. But I always questioned what his oil change

392
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:18,160
Speaker 1: religion was, like, how often was he doing it? How

393
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:20,560
Speaker 1: you know, how often, uh, you know, was he doing

394
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 1: it enough? Was he doing correct? Oil? I you know,

395
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:28,200
Speaker 1: you wonder. I've got this theory kicking around in my

396
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:32,880
Speaker 1: head that I'm looking to prove right or wrong in

397
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:37,400
Speaker 1: that if if you know, if you're not doing enough

398
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:40,000
Speaker 1: oil changes, obviously, if you're if you're running the vehicle

399
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:42,200
Speaker 1: low on oil, you're not doing enough maintenance. It usually

400
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:44,960
Speaker 1: it's to a catastrophe somewhere. Well, Sean was no different.

401
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 1: This week's showing showed up on my doorstep. Hey can

402
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:50,800
Speaker 1: I get an oil change? Now? You know, Ron didn't.

403
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:53,880
Speaker 1: Ron didn't just you know, wake up yesterday. He's been

404
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 1: around a while and his first question is you know

405
00:20:56,960 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 1: why now? Why here? Why me? Well, you know it's

406
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 1: been four or five months since the timing chain was done,

407
00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 1: and well, to be honest with you, I started it

408
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:09,400
Speaker 1: the other day and it's got this noise in the engine.

409
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:13,679
Speaker 1: Oh and I just want you to check it out

410
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:15,680
Speaker 1: because I know you'll you'll give me the straight answer,

411
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 1: which I don't understand the logic of this, where I

412
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 1: wouldn't give him straight answers before, but now that I'm

413
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 1: about to give him the death sentence, now it's okay.

414
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 1: Now I can tell him it's a piece of junk.

415
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:32,639
Speaker 1: So whatever in the car comes, we look at it.

416
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 1: Is it supposed to have more oil? And you know,

417
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:36,320
Speaker 1: we start training the oil out and we get into

418
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:37,720
Speaker 1: foil out of it. We have it, we have a

419
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:40,440
Speaker 1: container and then we transfer that and is it supposed

420
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:43,479
Speaker 1: to have more than a filling a sixteen ounce coffee

421
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 1: can't of oil in the engine? Is that? Is that

422
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:50,240
Speaker 1: like you know? Is that like not enough? So it

423
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 1: was now what three and a half quarts on a

424
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:53,439
Speaker 1: four and a half qurt system. I think we got

425
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 1: a quart out of the car, maybe a quart and

426
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 1: a half. And then there was a there was a

427
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:00,680
Speaker 1: chunk of something in the bottom of a coffee can.

428
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:04,119
Speaker 1: And I don't think it was grinds. It was um, well,

429
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:06,159
Speaker 1: I don't know what it was. It was just like

430
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:08,119
Speaker 1: a piece of the engine came out of the drain plug.

431
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:11,919
Speaker 1: Is that a problem? Not for me? My truck runs

432
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 1: and I went through this with Sean, and you know,

433
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:20,560
Speaker 1: I explained it to him. I said, you know, I

434
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 1: can't tell you where this failure occurred. I can't tell

435
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 1: you for how long this failure has been going on

436
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:30,439
Speaker 1: because I don't see the vehicle enough. And it proves

437
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 1: my argument about I don't care where you go. Just

438
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:36,480
Speaker 1: go there on a regular basis. Don't think you're gonna

439
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:39,760
Speaker 1: hop scotch and jump around and and and whatever money

440
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:42,080
Speaker 1: you think you're saving or whatever time you think you're saving.

441
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 1: It's oil order repairs about consistency and not just having

442
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 1: the records, but having the confidence that the guys that

443
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:52,959
Speaker 1: are doing it is the same guy that you know.

444
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:56,399
Speaker 1: There's listen, you walk into half the order repair shops

445
00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:59,120
Speaker 1: in this country, probably better than half, and there's one

446
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:01,919
Speaker 1: mechanic in every bunch. Somebody's got a bottom draw of

447
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:03,960
Speaker 1: a toolbox filled with parts, said, well, I needed to

448
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:05,480
Speaker 1: put that in that job. It was just extra, And

449
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 1: I need to put that in that job. That was extra.

450
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 1: And I see it all day long. Wink wink, not not.

451
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:13,920
Speaker 1: You're looking for consistency. You're looking for an Unfortunately, one

452
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 1: bad apple spoils the bunch, and I see it far

453
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:20,520
Speaker 1: too often. But you're looking for consistency and regularity and

454
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 1: and and I couldn't tell Sean what his was because

455
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 1: it had jumped around from so many different places doing

456
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:29,919
Speaker 1: oil changes over the previous two years that it was

457
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:33,840
Speaker 1: impossible to tell what caused the failure. So don't be

458
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:36,080
Speaker 1: like Sean. You can be like Shan. He's a good guy,

459
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:37,959
Speaker 1: but don't be like Showing in terms of water repair.

460
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:42,360
Speaker 1: Because now Showing's out car shopping this very weekend, and um,

461
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:43,920
Speaker 1: you know I told him that. At the end of

462
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:45,640
Speaker 1: the conversation, I said, you know, there's only one more

463
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:47,320
Speaker 1: question I need to ask you. And he says, what's that?

464
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:50,960
Speaker 1: And I said what color? He said what color? What?

465
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:52,600
Speaker 1: I said, what color do you want the new car

466
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:54,760
Speaker 1: to be? I said, because that's where you're headed. Well,

467
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:56,120
Speaker 1: you don't want to put an engine in this? I said,

468
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:57,480
Speaker 1: I don't think you want to put an engine in this.

469
00:23:57,520 --> 00:23:59,840
Speaker 1: It's nine years old, it's got seventy thousand miles on it.

470
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 1: You're really gonna put five six thousand dollars in a

471
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:07,480
Speaker 1: buick that's had minimal maintenance and minimal care to find

472
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:09,560
Speaker 1: out that, you know, what's gonna go next? The trans

473
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 1: what else? What other problem is there? And that's also

474
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:16,320
Speaker 1: part of the equation. So just some food for thought,

475
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:19,439
Speaker 1: things to think about. You know, it's aught to repair.

476
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 1: Successful order repair is really about doing it right, but

477
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:28,119
Speaker 1: also doing it on a consistent basis. Back to that

478
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:31,560
Speaker 1: dating thing, all right, it's you're always dating and you're

479
00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:34,600
Speaker 1: always getting to know each other, and you're always experiencing

480
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:37,800
Speaker 1: the bumps in the road, no pun intended, and you

481
00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 1: know that's that's what makes a successful repair. Wait a,

482
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:46,560
Speaker 1: we have a very regular customer and her seventeen four

483
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:49,480
Speaker 1: to escape swallowed a motor this week. It's got less

484
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:51,760
Speaker 1: than twenty thousand miles on and evidently Ford's got some

485
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:55,720
Speaker 1: problems going on with these and that uh um, you know,

486
00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 1: they've issued a bulletin and they're talking about with the

487
00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:00,679
Speaker 1: two leader and the one point five the at some

488
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:03,400
Speaker 1: of them are. They're finding cooling in the cylinder's wide

489
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:07,600
Speaker 1: exhaust smoke and uh there's there's some issues. There's there's

490
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:10,119
Speaker 1: clearly some issues, and they're making good on it. You know, Listen,

491
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 1: things go wrong. But when she talked to the dealership,

492
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:16,639
Speaker 1: she didn't get a clear cut answer, not one that

493
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:20,360
Speaker 1: made her feel better. So I got involved. She's my customer.

494
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:22,080
Speaker 1: I've got to take care of my customers like I

495
00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:24,919
Speaker 1: would anybody else. And I called the dealer and I

496
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:27,920
Speaker 1: got the inside story and I explained to her, and

497
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:30,359
Speaker 1: you know, after a ten minute conversation, she said, you know,

498
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:33,119
Speaker 1: you just put it in English that I can understand it.

499
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:35,200
Speaker 1: The way they were talking, they were so far over

500
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 1: the top of my head. I need a step ladder

501
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:38,840
Speaker 1: to get up there. And I said, well, that's part

502
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:40,480
Speaker 1: of what I'm supposed to do. That's part of what

503
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:45,400
Speaker 1: a good mechanic does. And the point becomes that I've

504
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:47,920
Speaker 1: seen and on a regular basis, I know that car

505
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:50,439
Speaker 1: inside and out. I know what it's coming due for,

506
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:52,640
Speaker 1: I know what it's had, and I know the care

507
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:55,840
Speaker 1: that's been given, and that just makes maintaining it easier

508
00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:58,120
Speaker 1: for her and easier for me. Of course, you can't

509
00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:01,640
Speaker 1: predict when you're gonna have that bumping the road when

510
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:05,040
Speaker 1: the engine fails because of something that wasn't assembled properly,

511
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 1: which is what I think this is gonna come down to.

512
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:09,280
Speaker 1: I think for it's problems with the two leader ego boost,

513
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:11,119
Speaker 1: the Bolton only came out June of this year, so

514
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:14,840
Speaker 1: it only came out, uh, two weeks ago actually, Um,

515
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:16,880
Speaker 1: you know, the the issue is going to be that

516
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:19,639
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna find that somebody didn't clamp a

517
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:22,359
Speaker 1: cylinder head in place properly, that it's related to a

518
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:25,639
Speaker 1: head gas at issue or some such thing. But you know.

519
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:31,080
Speaker 1: The point is regular intervals, regular maintenance with the same

520
00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:33,880
Speaker 1: guys sure does go a long way to helping provide

521
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:36,520
Speaker 1: better service. And when you do have a problem, at

522
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:38,359
Speaker 1: least if they're doing their job, they can back you

523
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:41,199
Speaker 1: up and maybe get involved with the warrantier in this

524
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:44,080
Speaker 1: case the dealer and um you know, help you and

525
00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:46,359
Speaker 1: prevent it from becoming a showan where you're on the

526
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:48,480
Speaker 1: side of the road or you know you're out looking

527
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:54,160
Speaker 1: for another car. Um whole another conversation Zoo zero running

528
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:56,080
Speaker 1: eating the car doctor. We are back right after this,

529
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:11,560
Speaker 1: welcome back. Why don't the card doctor phone number? I mean,

530
00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:13,360
Speaker 1: may need to talk about this email for about two

531
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:15,879
Speaker 1: weeks now, this comes to us from Dave. Dave writes

532
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 1: in ron, I've got a what is Dave working on here?

533
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:21,760
Speaker 1: He's working on a Nissan that um uh. He had

534
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:24,520
Speaker 1: a problem with the two thousand eleven Nissan CenTra. That

535
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:28,560
Speaker 1: a problem with a BS false codes, and he went

536
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:31,840
Speaker 1: out and online he purchased move five one, two, three

537
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 1: eight four and drive Works, which is from Advanced Litle

538
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:37,359
Speaker 1: Ports five one to three and four for the left side,

539
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:39,520
Speaker 1: and he put in these two wheelbearings that he brought

540
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:43,199
Speaker 1: online from either I guess he brought them both from

541
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:45,000
Speaker 1: Advance or he bought them. I'm not sure where he

542
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 1: got them from, but they were online purchases, and I'm

543
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:50,719
Speaker 1: not necessarily sure they were from Advance, but they're just

544
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:54,080
Speaker 1: advanced brands, if I can say it like that. And

545
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 1: he had the exact same fault come up, the exact

546
00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 1: same similar problem, and we kind of went round and round,

547
00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:01,920
Speaker 1: and I I verified that he was using the right

548
00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:05,160
Speaker 1: parts and and you know where he got them from.

549
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:06,800
Speaker 1: And that's when it came up about that he purchased

550
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:09,879
Speaker 1: them online. And I've got this thing about online, and

551
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:11,280
Speaker 1: I just want to mention this because this is this

552
00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:13,440
Speaker 1: this is the second or third time I'm seeing similar

553
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:17,040
Speaker 1: issues companies representing that they're selling a product that it's

554
00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:19,520
Speaker 1: supposed to be this, but it's not really and it

555
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:22,280
Speaker 1: looks like that brand, but it's not really that brand.

556
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:26,080
Speaker 1: And I said, listen, take what you've got, just put

557
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:28,560
Speaker 1: it on the side, just go down to a local

558
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:32,960
Speaker 1: parts house, all right, and doesn't havething necessarily be advanced.

559
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 1: It could be anybody, and just go purchase two wheel

560
00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:40,239
Speaker 1: bearings the same bring him back, put him in. He

561
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:43,360
Speaker 1: did that hey Ron fixed. The two wheel bearings are

562
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:47,160
Speaker 1: originally installed from Rock Auto and drive works from Advanced Auto.

563
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 1: There you go, there's the answer. We're both no good.

564
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:51,840
Speaker 1: Went to Auto Zone, got two dural hass five one

565
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 1: to three four bearings. Looked in through the back of

566
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:56,160
Speaker 1: the bearing, I could see that the magnetic ring looked different,

567
00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:58,520
Speaker 1: not as deep and closer to center. Put them in

568
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:01,040
Speaker 1: both in and press though car runs great. Thanks for

569
00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:03,840
Speaker 1: your help, Dave Um. You know, I've got a problem

570
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:06,480
Speaker 1: with a lot of these online companies in that I'm

571
00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:09,000
Speaker 1: questioning where a lot of these allegedly cheaper parts are

572
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:11,480
Speaker 1: coming from, and it just makes you wonder, are they

573
00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:14,280
Speaker 1: you know, I still think there's a chance that some

574
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:18,040
Speaker 1: of these are factory seconds, so to speak. And it's

575
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:20,000
Speaker 1: just kind of uncanny that you've got two of the

576
00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:23,640
Speaker 1: same part number from two different manufacturers with that fault,

577
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:26,240
Speaker 1: which also makes me wonder, are we just everybody making

578
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:28,800
Speaker 1: everything on one assembly line and we're just putting it

579
00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:31,560
Speaker 1: in different boxes and it's all the same thing anyway.

580
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:34,720
Speaker 1: But you know, once again proving that new means never

581
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:36,720
Speaker 1: ever worked. And don't ever doubt the part you put

582
00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:39,160
Speaker 1: in is is right until it proves to you that

583
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:42,120
Speaker 1: it's working, and it proves to you that it's it's

584
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:44,080
Speaker 1: not bad, which in this case it was. He put

585
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:47,000
Speaker 1: into you know, fresh wheel bearings from a different source,

586
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:49,720
Speaker 1: and um, they work. And I don't know, maybe it's

587
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:51,360
Speaker 1: got something to do with the fact that you buy

588
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:53,960
Speaker 1: something from someone over the counter. They know that if

589
00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:55,920
Speaker 1: they're selling you a bad part, they're gonna be looking

590
00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:58,520
Speaker 1: at you again. You're gonna be coming back and uh,

591
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:00,800
Speaker 1: you know, you're gonna have to explained to them, or

592
00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:02,440
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to explain. You're gonna have to explain

593
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:05,080
Speaker 1: to them why that part is no good. So but um,

594
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:06,840
Speaker 1: it worked for Dave, it could work for you too,

595
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:10,080
Speaker 1: So just be careful of the temptation of cheap parts

596
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:13,280
Speaker 1: somehow translates into a headache or a problem. Later on

597
00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:17,800
Speaker 1: down the line, we had a customer, Greg with an

598
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:22,640
Speaker 1: O six Explore that U um you know, had his

599
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:26,400
Speaker 1: Uh had his. He put it an e GR assembly

600
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:29,720
Speaker 1: on his those six Explorer and put in the second

601
00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:32,560
Speaker 1: one after market and brought it to me. We looked

602
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:34,040
Speaker 1: at I said, David's got a bad e g R

603
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:36,080
Speaker 1: of valve assembly. I said, you you got to get

604
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:38,200
Speaker 1: a piece from Ford and and and be done with it.

605
00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:40,480
Speaker 1: And I heard I got an email beginning of last

606
00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:41,800
Speaker 1: week that yeah, you know what, I put a Ford

607
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:43,120
Speaker 1: piece in it and it worked. And he says, how

608
00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:45,400
Speaker 1: can you get too bad from the same parts house,

609
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:48,440
Speaker 1: same brand? How? I don't know. I just questioned, you

610
00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:50,600
Speaker 1: know what the accuracy is on certain parts? They just

611
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:54,280
Speaker 1: don't seem to work certain things. Not everything, but just

612
00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:58,000
Speaker 1: something to be aware of. Eight five zero running any

613
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:07,840
Speaker 1: of the car? Doctor coming back right after this lay

614
00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:09,520
Speaker 1: welcome back, we need of the car. Let's go over

615
00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:11,760
Speaker 1: and talk to Nick and Missouri. Nick, how can I

616
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:14,280
Speaker 1: help you? Sir? Yeah, well, I know you run an

617
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:16,560
Speaker 1: out of times. I called you a couple of weeks ago.

618
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:18,800
Speaker 1: I had an A B S line on and a

619
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:22,600
Speaker 1: check engine line and anyway, they don't went on vacation,

620
00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:26,640
Speaker 1: but anyway, uh, they found out that there was a

621
00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:29,800
Speaker 1: Of course, I had two different people working on it,

622
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:32,560
Speaker 1: so I know it's confusing. But the first person to

623
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:37,080
Speaker 1: put the back sensor on and then they still didn't work. Well,

624
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:39,000
Speaker 1: then I found I took it the four dealship and

625
00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 1: I found out that the connector was that there was

626
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:44,280
Speaker 1: a big tail there's a big tail on there that

627
00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:49,040
Speaker 1: floats in broken wire on the inside. I guess it

628
00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:51,840
Speaker 1: was just short so it blew out the new sensor

629
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:53,840
Speaker 1: from the first guy. So they put on the sensor

630
00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:56,680
Speaker 1: and that pretty well. That that fixed that, but the

631
00:31:56,800 --> 00:32:01,120
Speaker 1: check engine light, it kept coming up. I rich the

632
00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:03,600
Speaker 1: gas was raised. They kept telling me the gas was bad.

633
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:07,120
Speaker 1: But here's the deal. I'm I fill up ever of

634
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:10,280
Speaker 1: the day. And I drove a hundred fifty miles the

635
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:13,360
Speaker 1: first day on along the same gas, never had a

636
00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:16,360
Speaker 1: bit of trouble, no nothing. And then the second day

637
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:18,440
Speaker 1: when I took him back to these first guys and

638
00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:21,479
Speaker 1: he got the checking for wires and stuff, and they

639
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:23,800
Speaker 1: unplugged it, I told you, and it ran out of

640
00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:28,120
Speaker 1: gas twice. Then I then I had to check enginely

641
00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:30,680
Speaker 1: and had to miss in it. Well, the four dealership

642
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:32,480
Speaker 1: can't tell me I had bad gas, and I couldn't

643
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:35,680
Speaker 1: understand that. So anyway, they drained the gas and put

644
00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:39,520
Speaker 1: new gas in it, and it's run fine ever since. Now,

645
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:43,560
Speaker 1: what would what would cause that? You know, on the

646
00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:47,480
Speaker 1: same tank of gas. I ran a whole day, never

647
00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:49,880
Speaker 1: had a bit of trouble, never missed, you know, nothing.

648
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:53,520
Speaker 1: And then as soon as he unplugged that that wiring

649
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:55,959
Speaker 1: harness twice trying to check for power and stuff, and

650
00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:58,479
Speaker 1: fuel polk was on there too soon, so I ran

651
00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:01,560
Speaker 1: out of gas. There's nothing there gases gas. Unless they

652
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:05,080
Speaker 1: added something, if they were looking for you know, unless

653
00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:07,680
Speaker 1: they were chasing at that point, they weren't chasing the

654
00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:11,120
Speaker 1: b S code. They were chasing a rich code. Yeah,

655
00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:13,320
Speaker 1: it goes. It goes that that sensor. They put a

656
00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:15,840
Speaker 1: new censor in in that big tail and that fixed

657
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:18,280
Speaker 1: the So how do you know? How do you know

658
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:20,520
Speaker 1: the repair shop? And I'm just we're just guessing here

659
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:23,239
Speaker 1: at this point, we're making educated conversation. You know, how

660
00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:25,280
Speaker 1: do you know the repair shop didn't put some sort

661
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:28,840
Speaker 1: of tank additive into it? Um that maybe wasn't exactly

662
00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:33,080
Speaker 1: the right thing. And you know that that. I mean,

663
00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:36,280
Speaker 1: if changing the fuel straighten the truck out, you know

664
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:39,560
Speaker 1: it had to be something in the fuel, right, I know.

665
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:42,920
Speaker 1: And I don't nobody put any entities in it that

666
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:45,320
Speaker 1: I that I know of. I mean, I've had both

667
00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:48,800
Speaker 1: these places do work for me before, and I pretty

668
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:51,880
Speaker 1: well trust him. But I just the first first place

669
00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:53,680
Speaker 1: I took it to were just kind of an office.

670
00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:55,560
Speaker 1: As you know, they didn't. They're just trying to help

671
00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:57,640
Speaker 1: me out. I would have loved I would I would

672
00:33:57,640 --> 00:33:59,640
Speaker 1: have loved to have seen a fuel sample come out

673
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:04,520
Speaker 1: of that ink, you know. But they said it's smelled.

674
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:07,160
Speaker 1: He smelled, you know, and said it was just And

675
00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:08,960
Speaker 1: I couldn't. I couldn't believe that because I ran a

676
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:14,239
Speaker 1: whole day on that same gas. Read My theory is,

677
00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:16,279
Speaker 1: if it didn't once, is it go to do it again?

678
00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:19,960
Speaker 1: That's well? And you know, my my question would be

679
00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:21,920
Speaker 1: is how clean is the tank? Is there anything in

680
00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:24,560
Speaker 1: the tank that's that's actually in there that's nobody addressed.

681
00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:27,879
Speaker 1: You know. We had a customer going back probably about

682
00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:30,759
Speaker 1: two years ago. Um Cliff, I'll never forget this. He

683
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:33,000
Speaker 1: was in from Germany seeing his parents. He borrows the

684
00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:36,879
Speaker 1: family Mercury Grand Marquis, takes it down to a local

685
00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:39,360
Speaker 1: filling station. They fill it up, he drives into the city,

686
00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:42,960
Speaker 1: drives out. Coming out of the city, the car chokes

687
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:45,200
Speaker 1: and dies. They have a towed in. It's a tank

688
00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:47,160
Speaker 1: that's you know, it's half gas, half full of water.

689
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:50,560
Speaker 1: But the only place he got fuel was twenty three

690
00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:52,920
Speaker 1: miles beforehand. Why did it take twenty three miles to

691
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:55,239
Speaker 1: work its way through the system, depending on how the

692
00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:57,520
Speaker 1: level and the tank, you know, change how the fuel

693
00:34:57,640 --> 00:35:00,880
Speaker 1: was used, where it where it m you know, where

694
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:03,680
Speaker 1: it uh, where it you know, finally picked up in

695
00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:07,280
Speaker 1: the tank because maybe it didn't mix. So anything's possible, brother,

696
00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:09,200
Speaker 1: But I'm glad you're all squared away, and I'm glad

697
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:11,799
Speaker 1: it's fixed for you. And as always, I appreciate the call.

698
00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:13,279
Speaker 1: I always like to know what it took to fix

699
00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:15,360
Speaker 1: the car. I'm running any in the car doctor, reminding

700
00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:16,920
Speaker 1: each and every one of you, I thank you for

701
00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:19,200
Speaker 1: being with me this hour until the next time. Good

702
00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:21,840
Speaker 1: mechanics aren't expensive, they're priceless. See you
