I need 31 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,880 Speaker 1: to improve the way I think. And it's one of 32 00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:32,400 Speaker 1: the reasons I don't listen to the show. Believe it 33 00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:34,200 Speaker 1: or not, I don't listen to myself after the show. 34 00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:36,720 Speaker 1: I get to be too critical. But I've been thinking 35 00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:39,600 Speaker 1: in the past couple of months that I've got to 36 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:41,680 Speaker 1: do this job a little bit better. And I apologize 37 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:45,280 Speaker 1: if if I've been slacking off. I just you know, 38 00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:47,280 Speaker 1: I just keep looking for different things to try and 39 00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:50,680 Speaker 1: talk about. You know. It's it's like, here, take this story, 40 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:53,080 Speaker 1: so true story. Let me see if I can present 41 00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:55,240 Speaker 1: this in a clearer manner than maybe I have in 42 00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:59,200 Speaker 1: the past. Lincoln mk X came into the shop at 43 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 1: our Automotive this week and the customer's complaint was he 44 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:08,120 Speaker 1: had a water leak in the car by the driver's 45 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:10,440 Speaker 1: side on the on the driver's side foot rest over 46 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,359 Speaker 1: by the gas pedal. And I, you know, we brought 47 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:15,680 Speaker 1: it and signed it up and and you know, sure enough, 48 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:17,120 Speaker 1: I went out there. It was my turn, you know, 49 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:19,519 Speaker 1: came in my rack and I checked it. Yeah, there's 50 00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:24,040 Speaker 1: there's like it's damp around the carpet. And I'm going, gee, 51 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:27,360 Speaker 1: how the heck is the water leak? Like what's over here? 52 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,880 Speaker 1: Because this is a leak just about dead center of 53 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:34,880 Speaker 1: the car, under the dashboard, next to the console. And 54 00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:38,200 Speaker 1: then I remembered the A C evaporator drain is there. 55 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,639 Speaker 1: You know, you see water running out of air conditioning 56 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:43,799 Speaker 1: units walking down Main Street the storefronts, right, you see 57 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,560 Speaker 1: the A C drain. Cars have that too. It's it's 58 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:48,680 Speaker 1: and I said, I bet you the drain is clogged, 59 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:51,720 Speaker 1: so I you know, and I'm I'm kind of a 60 00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:53,760 Speaker 1: big guy, and and you know this is that it's 61 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:55,800 Speaker 1: one of those John Pinnette Nay name moments. You know, 62 00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:57,640 Speaker 1: the fat guy in the in the tight spot and 63 00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,240 Speaker 1: you're you're kind of and you're just sort of shove 64 00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:03,639 Speaker 1: yourself between the seat, the steering wheel and the dashboard, 65 00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,960 Speaker 1: and you're stuffed in there, and you peel back the 66 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:11,720 Speaker 1: carpet and you find the drain. Yep, there's the drain hose. 67 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,359 Speaker 1: I was right, the drains backed up. So you kind 68 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,080 Speaker 1: of stuff yourself and you back up and you and 69 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:19,680 Speaker 1: you pop out and you go get a little container 70 00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:22,520 Speaker 1: to you know, you're anticipating, I'll think of the drains clogged. 71 00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:26,480 Speaker 1: I take an air gun, I take a long piece 72 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:28,480 Speaker 1: of mechanics wire. I kind of fish up there and 73 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,640 Speaker 1: nothing happens. Gee, there's gotta be water in this thing. 74 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,440 Speaker 1: Where is the water coming from? So I sort of 75 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:36,920 Speaker 1: stuffed myself back up, and I'm kind of wedged in 76 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,640 Speaker 1: between it. Really it's going on. And Danny's working on 77 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 1: cars in Bay one and two and he's watching this, 78 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 1: and he's going the old man's cracking up, like what's 79 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 1: going on here? Right? You know? It's it's, you know, 80 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,240 Speaker 1: trying to fit five pounds of bologna in a two 81 00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:51,280 Speaker 1: a half pound sack. I'm really kind of wedging my 82 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 1: way in. So I get the drain out. I take 83 00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:57,360 Speaker 1: the air hose. Now, and I say, I wonder what happens. 84 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 1: This is what I love, Lucy. I wonder what happens 85 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:07,760 Speaker 1: if I blow air up this hose? Oh boy, you know, 86 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 1: you ever go to the supermarket, you buy those containers 87 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,880 Speaker 1: of coffee. They're like those plastic Maxwell House makes it. 88 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,200 Speaker 1: It's like I think it's sixteen or thirty two ounces now, 89 00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:18,919 Speaker 1: I think it was a thirty two ounce container of 90 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,640 Speaker 1: Maxwell House coffee. Was an empty coffee cup container. That's 91 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:23,200 Speaker 1: what I had. We just made coffee and throw it out. 92 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:24,480 Speaker 1: Was sitting on top of that. I'll use this. This 93 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,200 Speaker 1: will be the water bucket. How much water could come 94 00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:30,480 Speaker 1: out of an air conditioning unit? Right, So I'm wedged 95 00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,320 Speaker 1: under the dashboard. I've got the cup, I've got the 96 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 1: coffee can, the coffee plastic bucket, if you will, And 97 00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 1: I blow air up the nozzle, and instinctively, as I'm 98 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,679 Speaker 1: watching waters start to dribble out, I kind of pinched 99 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:48,200 Speaker 1: the rubber hose shut. Okay, I take and I'm working, 100 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,040 Speaker 1: you know, you know how like you're stuffed and tight. 101 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,800 Speaker 1: And I take the plastic pail and I put it 102 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,320 Speaker 1: under the bucket. I put it under the hose and 103 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:59,840 Speaker 1: I opened the hose. Oh my god, all right. It' 104 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:04,599 Speaker 1: filled that plastic container thirty two ounces of water in 105 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:10,160 Speaker 1: under fifteen seconds. And then right so I pinched the 106 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,480 Speaker 1: rubber hose shut. So now I've got a problem. Now 107 00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:14,599 Speaker 1: I've got my Now I've kind of got my finger, 108 00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,239 Speaker 1: you know, on the end of the hose. I can't 109 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,440 Speaker 1: move the pail or I'm gonna spill all this water 110 00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:24,040 Speaker 1: in the car. And I'm going Danny, you know, like 111 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,560 Speaker 1: I'm okay, I'm not hurt, but I'm stuck and I've 112 00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:29,560 Speaker 1: got to get rid of something. Danny comes over. It 113 00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:31,480 Speaker 1: just had to be like a Keystone Cops caper. It 114 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,840 Speaker 1: would have been a great video. And Danny takes the water, 115 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:36,600 Speaker 1: throws it out. He says, how much more you got? 116 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:40,600 Speaker 1: I said, I don't know. Gives me back the coffee container. 117 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,920 Speaker 1: I do the same thing. I put it underneath the hose. 118 00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:46,080 Speaker 1: I opened up the hose. I took two and a 119 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:54,000 Speaker 1: half containers of water, four and sixteen holy smokes of 120 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:57,000 Speaker 1: water out from under the dash of this car, and 121 00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:00,560 Speaker 1: it came out brown like like you know. I I 122 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:04,680 Speaker 1: still don't understand how it became so clogged. Needless to say, 123 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:08,760 Speaker 1: fixed the water league. So I got to the second 124 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:11,760 Speaker 1: part of the customers complaint the air conditioning wasn't working well. 125 00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:13,320 Speaker 1: And I'm thinking in the back of my mind, well, 126 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:15,880 Speaker 1: of course it's not working well. It's trying to blow 127 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 1: cold air through, you know, eight inches of water across 128 00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:25,920 Speaker 1: an evaporator. But no, that wasn't it, Nena, it was 129 00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:33,240 Speaker 1: the blower motor didn't work. Hu, why does the blower 130 00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:39,080 Speaker 1: motor work. There's a couple of rules about electricity, all right, 131 00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:42,320 Speaker 1: and one of them has to do with inducing water 132 00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:46,560 Speaker 1: into an electrical motor. The water level in the evaporator 133 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:51,600 Speaker 1: under the dash had gotten so high it up the 134 00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,760 Speaker 1: top of the evaporator case over to the right, and 135 00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:57,760 Speaker 1: every time he made a turn in the proper direction, 136 00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:03,000 Speaker 1: the water slashed over and filled the blower motor. I 137 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 1: took the blower motor out from under the dash and 138 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:08,120 Speaker 1: turned it upside down, and another five ounces of water 139 00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:13,480 Speaker 1: came out of that. So true story, And I hope 140 00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:16,520 Speaker 1: I'm telling it that you can understand it, because it was. 141 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:18,840 Speaker 1: It was really not not so much for the customer, 142 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,000 Speaker 1: but it was kind of hysterical to us. Um he 143 00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:23,680 Speaker 1: didn't you know, the bill was you know, there was 144 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:27,240 Speaker 1: eleven hundred all was worth a blower motor blower resistor. 145 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:31,040 Speaker 1: Um uh, you know, time draining the thing, and and 146 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:32,680 Speaker 1: and and Will got it. He was fine with it. 147 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:34,360 Speaker 1: He said, hey, listen, at least I know it's fixed. 148 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:40,840 Speaker 1: He said, maybe that explains the sloshing and I went slashing. Yeah, 149 00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,120 Speaker 1: he goes. I thought I was going crazy because he's 150 00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:45,200 Speaker 1: he's an older guy. He's in his eighties. He said. 151 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:47,720 Speaker 1: I thought I was starting to hear things because I 152 00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:49,440 Speaker 1: used to be you know, I used to be a sailor. 153 00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:51,560 Speaker 1: And I thought I was starting to hear like my 154 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 1: mind was playing tricks on me. I'm hearing slashing as 155 00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:57,160 Speaker 1: I'm driving around the turns. And and he said, I 156 00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:58,680 Speaker 1: thought I was back on the deck of the ship. 157 00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:00,160 Speaker 1: And I keep thinking I gotta go to the after. 158 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:03,040 Speaker 1: I'm cracking up. And I said, no, will you you 159 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:06,400 Speaker 1: really you might be cracking up anyway, but what you 160 00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:08,600 Speaker 1: heard was real. You heard the A C evaporator drain. 161 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:11,320 Speaker 1: So the point of this is just when you don't 162 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 1: think how much water can an A C evaporator drain? Hold, 163 00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:17,760 Speaker 1: there you go, Mr Ray. You had a comment.

This 224 00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:32,800 Speaker 1: is the second time it's happened. The first time I 225 00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:36,560 Speaker 1: went to the dealer and he replaced the impact sensor 226 00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:42,720 Speaker 1: in the front bumper right correct, So I'd like to 227 00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:45,800 Speaker 1: avoid going having to go back and and I'd like 228 00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:49,079 Speaker 1: to fix this myself if I could. Could you recommend 229 00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:53,800 Speaker 1: a scan tool, uh that for a weekend mechanic. You 230 00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:57,480 Speaker 1: know that's not gonna set me back, you know, more 231 00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:00,520 Speaker 1: than a fifty bucks or so that allows that can 232 00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:04,679 Speaker 1: be updated and do the basics. But read a BS code. 233 00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:08,320 Speaker 1: Read excuse me, airbag codes. The hundred and fifty dollars 234 00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:12,360 Speaker 1: is the hard part, Larry, That's that's the issue. Uh. 235 00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:15,480 Speaker 1: You know the price point and at that point, I 236 00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:17,720 Speaker 1: would tell you to go look at I would do 237 00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:20,840 Speaker 1: this two ways. Um. I would think about the launch line, 238 00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:25,480 Speaker 1: all right, the launch scan tool line, the millennia, millennium millennia, 239 00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:28,000 Speaker 1: I think the millennium ninety. I don't know where the 240 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,040 Speaker 1: price point is. I think it's I I've got to 241 00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:32,079 Speaker 1: believe it's more than a fifty bucks. I think it's 242 00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:35,040 Speaker 1: in the fourth six range. And I believe that tool 243 00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:39,360 Speaker 1: does do air bag reset, all right? Um Or I 244 00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:41,760 Speaker 1: would go look on eBay and see what shop is 245 00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:45,960 Speaker 1: selling what older scan tool cheap? That might give you 246 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:49,959 Speaker 1: more miles and more functionality and more you know, more ability. 247 00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:54,360 Speaker 1: The problem with scan tools, you know, you can't look 248 00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:56,160 Speaker 1: at a scan tool as you want to just fix 249 00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:59,960 Speaker 1: this particular problem. You know, worrying about this this particular 250 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,200 Speaker 1: problem is like trying to shoot a shotgun and hitting 251 00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:05,280 Speaker 1: a target a mile away with one singular pellet um. 252 00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:07,360 Speaker 1: You know, it's it's too focused, and it's it's just 253 00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:11,079 Speaker 1: about impossible. You can't do it. So what it really 254 00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:13,280 Speaker 1: comes back to is, if you think you're gonna fix cars, 255 00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:16,120 Speaker 1: let's think of this from longevity. You think you're gonna 256 00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:17,880 Speaker 1: fix your own cars or tinker with him for at 257 00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:22,840 Speaker 1: least another five years, all right, if you buy, oh, 258 00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:24,640 Speaker 1: I don't know, if you buy a two thousand dollar 259 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:26,920 Speaker 1: scan tool that will get you through the next five years, 260 00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:29,440 Speaker 1: because you're not you're not running out tomorrow to buy 261 00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:32,200 Speaker 1: eighteen whatever. You're gonna keep your you know, you're gonna 262 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:34,200 Speaker 1: keep your own nine tahoe for a while. And there's 263 00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:36,720 Speaker 1: probably another six seven year old vehicle in the family 264 00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:39,360 Speaker 1: for a while. Right, So you put two grand down 265 00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:42,240 Speaker 1: and you go buy a used snap on soulis on 266 00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:46,120 Speaker 1: eBay for example, all right, and and that tool is 267 00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:49,319 Speaker 1: updated through and and you know you spend two grand. 268 00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:52,760 Speaker 1: You know, five years from now that or four years 269 00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:54,880 Speaker 1: from now, the manth is easier that tool cost you 270 00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:59,240 Speaker 1: five a year, cost you, you know, in the fifties, 271 00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:02,760 Speaker 1: sixty bucks month.

Um, 305 00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:41,640 Speaker 1: that's fair point, fair question. Um, the right answer is, 306 00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:43,800 Speaker 1: you know, you're depending upon the eBay guys saying hey, 307 00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:45,440 Speaker 1: it worked perfect the last time I shut it off 308 00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:46,680 Speaker 1: and hooked it up to a car, and then you've 309 00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:50,520 Speaker 1: got the eBay guarantee. So maybe the better solution is 310 00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:53,520 Speaker 1: that you know, like, for example, my snap on tool 311 00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:56,240 Speaker 1: dealer here in New Jersey has his own Facebook page 312 00:15:56,880 --> 00:16:00,280 Speaker 1: and from time to time j will put up you know, um, 313 00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:03,760 Speaker 1: you know deals he's taken in tools on trade, and 314 00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:05,560 Speaker 1: you know he knows the history of the tool. And 315 00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:07,640 Speaker 1: maybe I'm paying a couple of bucks more, But again, 316 00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:09,920 Speaker 1: looking at the over the course of four or five 317 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:13,160 Speaker 1: year thing, what's the extra two, three, four five? If 318 00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:15,840 Speaker 1: I'm buying from you know, it's like buying a used car. Um. 319 00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:17,680 Speaker 1: You know, it's like I'm buying it from a known 320 00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:21,080 Speaker 1: good source versus the guy who's you know, parking lot 321 00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:23,120 Speaker 1: with his used cars on. It is next to the river, 322 00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:25,760 Speaker 1: and you know, every time it rains, there's a sign 323 00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:27,360 Speaker 1: right next door. You know, that's gotta be the worst 324 00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:28,920 Speaker 1: thing in the world, have a used car lot next 325 00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:31,840 Speaker 1: to a sign that says area floods.

I do 342 00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:17,600 Speaker 1: want to talk about breaks, but I'm not gonna do 343 00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:19,960 Speaker 1: it now. But what's on my mind is just to 344 00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:22,600 Speaker 1: give you a tidbit of where I think I'm going 345 00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:25,359 Speaker 1: with this is, you know, you walk into an auto 346 00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:29,360 Speaker 1: parts store and you need breaks for your oh nine 347 00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:33,359 Speaker 1: Chevy Taha, and you know you're trusting the guy behind 348 00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:35,120 Speaker 1: the counter. Not that you can't trust the guy behind 349 00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:38,600 Speaker 1: the counter, but you know, and this is probably more 350 00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:40,600 Speaker 1: towards the young people in the crowd, if there's any 351 00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:43,760 Speaker 1: out there today, in the sense that you know, it's 352 00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:46,280 Speaker 1: really amazing and this is what triggered it. I'll tell 353 00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:47,399 Speaker 1: I'll tell you the the story this way. I'm doing a 354 00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:49,800 Speaker 1: bad job of telling you this. I'm sorry. I was 355 00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:51,960 Speaker 1: in the chiropractor this morning, and the young girl sitting 356 00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:54,359 Speaker 1: next to me called her mechanic and said, I need 357 00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:57,040 Speaker 1: to come in this afternoon to have you change the 358 00:17:57,119 --> 00:18:00,920 Speaker 1: lamps for the stop lights. And it just sounded weird 359 00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:03,520 Speaker 1: the way she said it. And I listened to her 360 00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:06,400 Speaker 1: try and explain it a couple of times, and what 361 00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:08,840 Speaker 1: it is she was trying to talk about is she 362 00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:11,040 Speaker 1: had a directional ball about but she related it for 363 00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:15,000 Speaker 1: some reason to the break lights. And you know, as 364 00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:17,800 Speaker 1: I talked to her, I said, somebody needs to explain 365 00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:21,280 Speaker 1: to the kids what cars are, um and that's what 366 00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:22,600 Speaker 1: we've got to do. And then I said, what's the 367 00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:24,119 Speaker 1: most common thing they need to do. They all need 368 00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:26,040 Speaker 1: to stop. We got to talk about breaks. We're gonna 369 00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:27,560 Speaker 1: do that a little bit later on this hour. Right now, 370 00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:29,520 Speaker 1: we're gonna pull over and take a pause.

Yes, Paul, how can I help her? Hey? 381 00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:25,120 Speaker 1: How are you doing today? I'm good? What's cooking? I'm 382 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:28,320 Speaker 1: going because I've got a power steering beakm ma, and 383 00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:32,880 Speaker 1: I I've tracked it down. Can the line is rusted through? 384 00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:36,720 Speaker 1: Is this the big long line the return line coming 385 00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:38,800 Speaker 1: out of the pump that leads down and like goes 386 00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:40,480 Speaker 1: to the It goes along the front of the frame 387 00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:42,640 Speaker 1: rail or the cross member and then comes back and 388 00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:44,560 Speaker 1: feeds into the gear. It acts like the power of 389 00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:49,560 Speaker 1: steering cooler. Yes, that one, there's a rusty spot on that, 390 00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:51,200 Speaker 1: and then one of the other ones. Yeah, they always 391 00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:53,280 Speaker 1: they always rust where it makes the right angle bend 392 00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:55,120 Speaker 1: coming over the top of the cross member. It's kind 393 00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:59,479 Speaker 1: of weird. Um, it's it's yeah, yeah, that's yeah, been 394 00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:02,880 Speaker 1: there done, so yeah, what you got? What's going on? So? 395 00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:06,359 Speaker 1: Two things I'm wondering feeling products, Like, I know, you 396 00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:08,320 Speaker 1: push her a really big on the case seal for 397 00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:11,159 Speaker 1: cooling leaks. Is there something similar to that? That I 398 00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:13,280 Speaker 1: could put it just to get by until I can 399 00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:18,680 Speaker 1: get time to nothing nothing, you know, because it's probably 400 00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:21,479 Speaker 1: leaking at the metal line. If this was a rubber 401 00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:25,239 Speaker 1: power steering seal type of a leak, and I'm not 402 00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:29,080 Speaker 1: I'm not a fan of you know. The the reason 403 00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:32,280 Speaker 1: the reason I like k seal is a coolant leak 404 00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:36,800 Speaker 1: product is because usually that coolant system repair is so 405 00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:40,600 Speaker 1: expensive it outweighs the cost of the value of the car, 406 00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:44,200 Speaker 1: so the repair becomes prohibitive, all right, or it's it's 407 00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:46,919 Speaker 1: somebody unlimited funds. It's the it's the one example I 408 00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:49,480 Speaker 1: had recently was the college student with the car that 409 00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:51,920 Speaker 1: you know, it had whatever, it was, a hundred thousand 410 00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:53,760 Speaker 1: miles on it, no money, and she's trying to get 411 00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:56,159 Speaker 1: through another four or five months and it worked very well. 412 00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:57,360 Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, the car is still going 413 00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:00,320 Speaker 1: and I think that's probably ten months ago. Uh, but 414 00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:03,320 Speaker 1: power steering now, and this is a metal line leak. 415 00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:05,720 Speaker 1: There's nothing that's gonna replace that metal so this becomes 416 00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:09,200 Speaker 1: a matter of you've got to change the line, right. Yeah. 417 00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:10,600 Speaker 1: I figured that was the case. I just thought if 418 00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:12,119 Speaker 1: there was something that I could get away with for 419 00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:16,479 Speaker 1: a little while long. Then my my next question is 420 00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:20,080 Speaker 1: what what would you recommend for brands for the parts. 421 00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:23,680 Speaker 1: At this point, Um, I can tell you this motorcraft. 422 00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:26,280 Speaker 1: The last time we tried to buy a motorcraft, we 423 00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:30,320 Speaker 1: we just did one four weeks ago, five weeks ago. Motorcraft. 424 00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:32,080 Speaker 1: We weren't able to get a motorcraft piece out of 425 00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:34,639 Speaker 1: the motorcraft distributor. We had to go through the Ford dealer. 426 00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:36,920 Speaker 1: The Ford dealer had it on back arter. We ended 427 00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:41,000 Speaker 1: up getting a piece of brand from Edelman E. D. E. L. M. A. N. Edelman. 428 00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:43,520 Speaker 1: I think it's the way it's spelled. Um worked fine, 429 00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:46,720 Speaker 1: went right in, had no issues. Uh, you know, it 430 00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:49,040 Speaker 1: really wasn't a problem. We didn't have any bleed issues. 431 00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:52,399 Speaker 1: You know there is UM was that the car we 432 00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:54,800 Speaker 1: had a Actually, I take that back. The one thing 433 00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:57,480 Speaker 1: we did on that car we have a we have 434 00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:00,560 Speaker 1: a set of power steering adapters from I dy Vac 435 00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:03,280 Speaker 1: and we screwed it on the reservoir and we sucked 436 00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:05,879 Speaker 1: we pulled vacuum on it and that helped put purge 437 00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:08,000 Speaker 1: air out of the system. You can do it too, 438 00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:10,200 Speaker 1: just by psychling the wheel back and forth. A couple 439 00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:12,760 Speaker 1: of times, and then you know, maybe maybe when you 440 00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:15,639 Speaker 1: park it at night, shut the vehicle off, take the 441 00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:20,600 Speaker 1: power steering cap off, and you know, depending upon maybe 442 00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:22,480 Speaker 1: you could like tilt the nose up a little bit. 443 00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:25,960 Speaker 1: I think on that truck, tilting the nose up would help, 444 00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:28,320 Speaker 1: and just leave it, leave the power steering cap off 445 00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:30,200 Speaker 1: when you come back in the morning, a little burped, 446 00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:32,320 Speaker 1: a couple of air bubbles out, and that's an old 447 00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:35,040 Speaker 1: trick that that's that's worked for years. But yeah, it's 448 00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:38,160 Speaker 1: pretty much cut and dry at that point. Um, it's 449 00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:42,119 Speaker 1: pretty much cut and dry. So um, you're a couple 450 00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:46,040 Speaker 1: of things ahead. I'm sorry. I can say a couple 451 00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:48,679 Speaker 1: of the things. I've been watching some YouTube and whatnot, 452 00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:51,000 Speaker 1: and it looks like there are The big problem with 453 00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:53,040 Speaker 1: those is getting the lines out of where they mount 454 00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:56,800 Speaker 1: into the into the actual steering rac Yeah there's a 455 00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:59,760 Speaker 1: little bit. There's a little bit and yeah there's a 456 00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:01,919 Speaker 1: little bit of finesse, you know, soaking it with some 457 00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:06,879 Speaker 1: rustbuster some rust penetrant um works really well. I like 458 00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:10,240 Speaker 1: the stuff. The the what I think is probably some 459 00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:12,760 Speaker 1: of the best rust penetrant, underrated as it is on 460 00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:16,119 Speaker 1: the market, is still the liquid wrench blue torches. It 461 00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:20,200 Speaker 1: was it liquid wrench, blue, twerque technology, black can, yellow cap. 462 00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:23,000 Speaker 1: You know, we call it magic in the shop. We keep, 463 00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:24,880 Speaker 1: we keep. Danny and I keep saying to each other, 464 00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:27,160 Speaker 1: the stuff so good. We're amazed they have an outlawded 465 00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:30,080 Speaker 1: or bandit yet because it just works. Uh, you know, 466 00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:32,399 Speaker 1: usually the good stuff gets gets taken away from you. 467 00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:36,199 Speaker 1: But you know it's it's it works really well and 468 00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:38,760 Speaker 1: just soaked the lines and just take your time when 469 00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:41,160 Speaker 1: you put it together, the end going in the rack. 470 00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:45,000 Speaker 1: And this is just me being being being fussy, Paul. 471 00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:48,359 Speaker 1: I'll use a little dab of liquid teflon. I always 472 00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:50,359 Speaker 1: use a dab of liquid teflon on all the threads 473 00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:52,879 Speaker 1: of all my power steering components. And here's here's the 474 00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:54,679 Speaker 1: argument for everybody that says, why do you do that. 475 00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:59,640 Speaker 1: There's a seal sealing it. It's an older vehicle. The threads, 476 00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:02,800 Speaker 1: you know, they've gotten a little tired. Um. You know 477 00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:06,480 Speaker 1: you'll get some seeps. It doesn't hurt. Just a tiny dab, 478 00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:09,439 Speaker 1: you know, a Q tip sized dab of teflon on 479 00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:12,399 Speaker 1: the threads where it begins so as you thread it 480 00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:15,600 Speaker 1: into the rack or into the pump. It will automatically 481 00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:18,640 Speaker 1: coat the threads, and that way you don't get any sweating, 482 00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:21,439 Speaker 1: you don't get any seepage of any kind. And then 483 00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:25,000 Speaker 1: other nice thing about uh teflon is there's a little 484 00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:29,440 Speaker 1: bit of lock tight in that formula. I've I've found 485 00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:31,640 Speaker 1: I read this, I read this sumwhere years and years ago, 486 00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:35,600 Speaker 1: and it will help keep that line tight without having 487 00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:37,800 Speaker 1: to really crank on it too hard, which is the 488 00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:41,560 Speaker 1: other mistake everybody makes. They try to overcompensate and let 489 00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:45,480 Speaker 1: the teflon, let the product do the job. You right, 490 00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:47,240 Speaker 1: And then would you recommend I do the pump on 491 00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:51,399 Speaker 1: while I'm there too? I mean I got two well 492 00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:54,520 Speaker 1: you know that. The The argument there is, you know, 493 00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:57,240 Speaker 1: what what value of what quality of part can you get? 494 00:24:57,359 --> 00:24:59,640 Speaker 1: Do you have an o'reillyota parts near you in Maryland? 495 00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:03,879 Speaker 1: We don't know, but I can look online. Yeah, look online, 496 00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:06,320 Speaker 1: go to o'rileyoto dot com. I know they've got the 497 00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:09,399 Speaker 1: mighty vac adapters. They'll have the lines and talk to 498 00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:11,919 Speaker 1: them say, hey, what brand of power steering pumps do 499 00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:15,760 Speaker 1: you have? What's working? What's not a problem? All right? 500 00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:19,320 Speaker 1: And you know, if you can get a motorcraft reman. 501 00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:21,880 Speaker 1: I would do that. If you can get something else 502 00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:24,600 Speaker 1: from them that they recommend that works, I would do that. 503 00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:26,880 Speaker 1: You know, the the issue is gonna be if it's 504 00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:29,960 Speaker 1: got two hundreds something thousand miles on it. You know 505 00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:32,560 Speaker 1: you you also want to do a power steering flush, 506 00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:35,600 Speaker 1: get rid of all the old fluid. So it is 507 00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:38,040 Speaker 1: it is, you know, it is nicer to start with 508 00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:40,760 Speaker 1: a fresh pump with fresh fluid. It can it can 509 00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:44,240 Speaker 1: only help and let you drive the truck longer. So right. 510 00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:45,879 Speaker 1: The other's the other thing with that is I'm getting 511 00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:49,680 Speaker 1: a chirping noise under it. It's weird. It only does 512 00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:53,840 Speaker 1: it when when you're in drive or a reverse and 513 00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:56,119 Speaker 1: I don't know if it's the power steering pump or 514 00:25:56,160 --> 00:26:01,040 Speaker 1: what's going on there, but it's very strange. You say, chirping, 515 00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:04,000 Speaker 1: What do you what do you mean chirping? It's like 516 00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:07,760 Speaker 1: a high frequency that increases with our pm uh, Like 517 00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:11,040 Speaker 1: we can look at like a caring or something. And 518 00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:12,560 Speaker 1: you you're thinking, it's, well, why don't we do this, 519 00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:14,280 Speaker 1: Why don't we take the why don't we let's do this? 520 00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:17,280 Speaker 1: First of all, let's take the belt off, start to 521 00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:21,400 Speaker 1: start the truck up. Does the noise go away, all right. 522 00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:23,080 Speaker 1: If it does, then we know it's one of the 523 00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:26,480 Speaker 1: you know four components that are rotating water pump, power 524 00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:30,400 Speaker 1: steering pump, either Polly tension or Polly five compressor. Uh, 525 00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:32,840 Speaker 1: you know we can eliminate it that way. And if 526 00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:35,080 Speaker 1: it doesn't, then we've got another problem somewhere else. And 527 00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:37,600 Speaker 1: and and the sound is traveling and distorting our our 528 00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:41,320 Speaker 1: our our auditory. So right. That was my question is 529 00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:44,200 Speaker 1: if you had ever seen the difference in in load 530 00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:47,920 Speaker 1: cause something that wouldn't normally make it a nose and 531 00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:51,119 Speaker 1: accessory drive to make a noise. Yeah, I've seen powers. 532 00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:54,480 Speaker 1: I've seen failing power steering pumps, failing alternators, failing a 533 00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:58,000 Speaker 1: C compressors, all cause issues load on the belt, load 534 00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:02,520 Speaker 1: on the system. It will sometimes make the belt track funny. 535 00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:04,680 Speaker 1: Do you know where a belt makes the most noise? 536 00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:06,240 Speaker 1: Before I go? Do you know where a belt makes 537 00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:11,120 Speaker 1: the most noise from? It rubs the side, It rubs 538 00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:13,879 Speaker 1: the sides. Brother, It's usually not the face of the 539 00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:18,200 Speaker 1: belt unless there's contaminant on it or contaminant on the pulleys. 540 00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:21,440 Speaker 1: But a belt starts to run off track and it 541 00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:24,119 Speaker 1: starts to rub the sides of the belt, the inside 542 00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:26,800 Speaker 1: or the outside face of the belt, and that's what 543 00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:29,960 Speaker 1: makes the most noise, chirping, squeaking, you know, et cetera, 544 00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:32,280 Speaker 1: et cetera. So always look to see how does the 545 00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:34,640 Speaker 1: belt line up with the rest of the pulleys. Very 546 00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:40,600 Speaker 1: very important. Okay, great, all right, that'll do it for you. 547 00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:43,199 Speaker 1: I do appreciate that, and thank you very much for 548 00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:45,680 Speaker 1: your your input and I listened to every Thanks, Paul, 549 00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:48,800 Speaker 1: I appreciate you being there, and I appreciate your appreciate 550 00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:50,600 Speaker 1: your your responsor good look at the truck and let 551 00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:52,600 Speaker 1: me know how things work out. You take good care, 552 00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:57,480 Speaker 1: all right, it sounds good. You're welcome. Bye bye, zero 553 00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:00,480 Speaker 1: running any of the car doctor screaming along, get back 554 00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:02,359 Speaker 1: right after this. Don't go away. When the family car 555 00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:05,000 Speaker 1: needs some fixing, there's only two things that really matter, 556 00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:08,400 Speaker 1: getting the right part and getting some good advice. It's 557 00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:10,720 Speaker 1: a pretty safe bet that, with over a million parts 558 00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:13,520 Speaker 1: in stock, pet Boys has the right part right now. 559 00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:16,600 Speaker 1: The pet Boys pros are extensively trained to find the 560 00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:19,960 Speaker 1: right part for just about any car truck. Better yet, 561 00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:23,000 Speaker 1: these pros can also handle the entire installation or service 562 00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:25,760 Speaker 1: needed it's always good to have options, and no, the 563 00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:35,600 Speaker 1: pet boys pros have it covered either way. Welcome back. 564 00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:37,080 Speaker 1: Why don't any of the car doctor. I didn't want 565 00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:39,920 Speaker 1: you to think I forgot Not this segment. Next segment. 566 00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:42,200 Speaker 1: We're gonna hold all calls after I take this next one, 567 00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:44,800 Speaker 1: and we're gonna talk about buying break parts or buying 568 00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:46,960 Speaker 1: parts with things choices you make at the parts counter, 569 00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:49,480 Speaker 1: and hopefully the young people out there listening, we're gonna 570 00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:51,880 Speaker 1: start the education process and a little more detail. Let's 571 00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:54,560 Speaker 1: go over to Mark and MAUI Marco want Subaru. What's 572 00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:58,200 Speaker 1: going on here? Bib, Hey, I'm nice to talk to you. 573 00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:02,440 Speaker 1: I am. I'm having a I just bought this car 574 00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:04,600 Speaker 1: a couple of months ago, has a hundred and twelve 575 00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:08,320 Speaker 1: thousand miles on and I've driven it two thousand miles 576 00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:13,360 Speaker 1: and a couple of times has overheated on me. It's 577 00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:18,120 Speaker 1: very intermittent, and I just, you know, I just thought 578 00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:19,240 Speaker 1: I could give a cost, so if you might be 579 00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:21,800 Speaker 1: able to help me diagnose any problem. Any dash warning 580 00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:24,560 Speaker 1: lights on Mark and he gauges going to fluy or 581 00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:28,720 Speaker 1: just it'll just start to run hot and that's the thing. Yeah, 582 00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:31,840 Speaker 1: nothing no, No, nothing on the on the dashboard at all. 583 00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:33,880 Speaker 1: And when we say hot, you're looking you have a 584 00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:37,840 Speaker 1: temperature gauge on this car? Yeah it, Um, it's just 585 00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:42,400 Speaker 1: the needle starts rapidly climbing, climbing into the red zone 586 00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:45,000 Speaker 1: and then just pull over and turn it off, all right. 587 00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:47,480 Speaker 1: The next time that happened. Well, let's let's talk about 588 00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:50,520 Speaker 1: overheat in general for knowledge sake, all right, And I 589 00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:53,080 Speaker 1: don't want to bore everybody you know, with with with 590 00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:55,400 Speaker 1: the minutia, but let's just say you get into an overheat. 591 00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:57,600 Speaker 1: What are the things we traditionally look at. We think 592 00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:00,720 Speaker 1: about thermostats, right, could a thermostat that be blocked but 593 00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:03,640 Speaker 1: for an intermittent failure. I have a hard time buying 594 00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:07,560 Speaker 1: a thermostat as an intermittent full right, because you're saying 595 00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:12,600 Speaker 1: this happens once every two weeks. Yeah, it happened the 596 00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:15,920 Speaker 1: last weekend, and then it happened like a couple of 597 00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:19,200 Speaker 1: weeks prior to that. Okay, And then we could talk about, 598 00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:22,200 Speaker 1: you know, radiator caps, and that would be another cop out, 599 00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:26,240 Speaker 1: because you know, radiator caps intermittent basis, it fails. It fails. 600 00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:28,280 Speaker 1: I've never seen one not be you know, it's good 601 00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:31,040 Speaker 1: or it's bad. I I just don't see them be 602 00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:34,200 Speaker 1: intermittent on a regular basis. So, but things to think 603 00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:36,239 Speaker 1: about with overheats. And then you know the other thing, 604 00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:39,240 Speaker 1: I would obviously how's the radiator? But somebody would have 605 00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:41,480 Speaker 1: to explain to me how a radiator could be intermittent? 606 00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:45,640 Speaker 1: All right? And then last is the cooling fan coming on? 607 00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:49,640 Speaker 1: When this goes into the overheat? Do you hear the 608 00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:54,000 Speaker 1: cooling fan running? Well, I can tell you that, you know, 609 00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:56,479 Speaker 1: I was luckily very mindful as soon as it hit 610 00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:58,920 Speaker 1: that red zone, I pulled over, turned the car off, 611 00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:03,120 Speaker 1: and u and the cooling fan came on. When the 612 00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:07,440 Speaker 1: car was in the was was was off? Okay, I mean, 613 00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:10,560 Speaker 1: so that eliminates that as a possibility. Then I'll tell 614 00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:14,360 Speaker 1: you what I believe is wrong with the car, all right, um, 615 00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:18,160 Speaker 1: because what's very common on these uh the number one failure, 616 00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:20,720 Speaker 1: the most common failure for this if for an intiminent 617 00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:23,200 Speaker 1: overheat on a super hue of this generation, our head 618 00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:27,280 Speaker 1: gas gets head, gas gets indoor cracked heads issues issues 619 00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:30,720 Speaker 1: with the block in the head itself. Uh So, and 620 00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:32,120 Speaker 1: I think you kind of knew that you were just 621 00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:35,640 Speaker 1: hoping for a better answer. Um, but you know it's 622 00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:40,080 Speaker 1: it's that's really what we see more of so a mechanic. 623 00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:42,600 Speaker 1: If he wanted to catch it in the act, he 624 00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:45,560 Speaker 1: could do something called the combustion gas leak check, which 625 00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:48,360 Speaker 1: in English is get the car running hot, get the 626 00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:51,400 Speaker 1: thermostat to open, and he can add he can use 627 00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:53,520 Speaker 1: a little it's it sort of looks like a turkey 628 00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:56,200 Speaker 1: base or it's a squeegee sucker type of device that 629 00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:59,160 Speaker 1: will draw cool infumes up through the liquid and the 630 00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:01,000 Speaker 1: device and it will change from blue to green or 631 00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:03,800 Speaker 1: green to yellow. Um, it's it's looking for, you know, 632 00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:09,320 Speaker 1: trace of combustion chamber gas in the in the cooling system. 633 00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:12,440 Speaker 1: Kind of a kind of a pricey extensive you know. 634 00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:14,160 Speaker 1: It's it's a couple of hundred bucks. I'm sure by 635 00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:16,040 Speaker 1: the time they're done. But here, let me give you 636 00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:19,680 Speaker 1: this quick tip, but understand the ramifications. The next time 637 00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:24,480 Speaker 1: it overheats, shut the car off, pop the hood. Be careful, 638 00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:28,200 Speaker 1: everything's gonna be screaming hot. Right. See, if you can 639 00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:30,720 Speaker 1: get to the lower radiator hose. If the lower radiator 640 00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:34,080 Speaker 1: hose is cold and the upper radiator hose is hot, 641 00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:37,440 Speaker 1: the only logical thing is there's an air bubble behind 642 00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:40,760 Speaker 1: the thermostat, and that air bubble at air pocket came 643 00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:43,400 Speaker 1: out as a result of the head gasket, and it's 644 00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:46,560 Speaker 1: keeping the thermostat from opening because this particular car, it's 645 00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:48,000 Speaker 1: got to be hot on the back side of the 646 00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:50,520 Speaker 1: stat to make it open, to allow the circulation process 647 00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:54,400 Speaker 1: to happen. All right, just just please be careful. It's 648 00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:56,880 Speaker 1: a hot car. You're popping a hood. You know you're 649 00:32:56,880 --> 00:32:58,680 Speaker 1: standing too close to the shark. I just don't want 650 00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:01,840 Speaker 1: to see you get bit. I that's see what, see what, 651 00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:04,920 Speaker 1: see what? See what that does for you? Try that 652 00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:09,120 Speaker 1: and then call me back next week zero. I'll be 653 00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:17,320 Speaker 1: back right after this. Welcome back. Why don't you mean 654 00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:19,320 Speaker 1: the car doctor. I want to talk to you about 655 00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:23,600 Speaker 1: picking parts? All right, younger, old, whoever you are, whatever 656 00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:25,160 Speaker 1: you are, If you're out there trying to work on 657 00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:27,200 Speaker 1: your car on the weekend, save a couple of books. 658 00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:30,520 Speaker 1: I get it. And there's a lot of choices. You 659 00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:33,200 Speaker 1: walk into an auto parts store, whether it's an o'reillyot 660 00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:35,880 Speaker 1: to Parts or somewhere else, there's a lot of choices 661 00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:40,240 Speaker 1: when it comes to breaks. And I think the takeaway 662 00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:42,400 Speaker 1: here is the thing you have to think about because 663 00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:45,080 Speaker 1: there's so many choices on price. Right, there's that ten 664 00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:48,480 Speaker 1: dollars set of white box pads, there's that sixty set 665 00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:51,920 Speaker 1: of Wagner boxed break pads. There's that thirty dollars set 666 00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:54,959 Speaker 1: in between of the house brand. What's the deal? How 667 00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:58,600 Speaker 1: do you decide? I have yet to see a break 668 00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:03,800 Speaker 1: friction material, real break pads manufacturer that doesn't have more 669 00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:06,560 Speaker 1: than one grade or level of break. There's usually a 670 00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:09,759 Speaker 1: premium the middle of the road, and you know the 671 00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:13,200 Speaker 1: cheap even Wagoner. Wagoner has got discount line of break 672 00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:19,560 Speaker 1: material out there. The majority of breaks in this country 673 00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:23,440 Speaker 1: are are made in China. Ten factories pumping this stuff out, 674 00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:25,839 Speaker 1: built to specs. You know, they're just taking orders. It's 675 00:34:26,200 --> 00:34:28,440 Speaker 1: it's let's let's let's make this, do this, let's make 676 00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:29,840 Speaker 1: that do that. I wanted to look like this. I 677 00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:32,200 Speaker 1: wanted to look like that. It's it's it's it's all 678 00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:35,120 Speaker 1: about dollars, and you know, it's it's all different levels 679 00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:40,080 Speaker 1: and grades. The cheaper break pads you're more likely to 680 00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:44,360 Speaker 1: have noise issues, and although they've gotten better in recent times, 681 00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:47,680 Speaker 1: but there's also um there's also a where factor you 682 00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:51,880 Speaker 1: will find that the the cheaper break pad wears quicker. Obviously, 683 00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:57,439 Speaker 1: the name brand premium versus the house premium. I think 684 00:34:57,440 --> 00:35:00,480 Speaker 1: it's a question of bucks, all right. I' either see 685 00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:07,120 Speaker 1: somebody put a premium grade house brand on versus a 686 00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:10,640 Speaker 1: cheapie any day of the week in terms of cost. 687 00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:13,080 Speaker 1: The other thing I want to point out is you've 688 00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:16,480 Speaker 1: got to think about rotors, all right. The breake rotor 689 00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:20,160 Speaker 1: is probably a bigger issue than the pad. Using a 690 00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:23,440 Speaker 1: ten dollar break rotor versus a forty dollar break rotor. 691 00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:26,920 Speaker 1: The MITA allergy differences and the structure and the strength 692 00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:30,400 Speaker 1: of that rotor to prevent it from warping are are 693 00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:33,719 Speaker 1: really a lot to consider. And then last you have 694 00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:36,239 Speaker 1: to think about how well you're doing that job. Are 695 00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:39,040 Speaker 1: you're washing the rotors, are you're loving the slides. You 696 00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:40,600 Speaker 1: need to have a little bit of knowledge on how 697 00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:42,759 Speaker 1: to do it so that you do it right. I'm 698 00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:45,200 Speaker 1: not needing in the car doctor. The mechanics aren't expensive, 699 00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:53,640 Speaker 1: they're priceless. See it
