Speaker 1: Ron An Anian, but to taking his vehicle to a

00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:04,640
Speaker 1: test Less service center, who was quoted, are you ready

3
00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:07,840
Speaker 1: sixteen thousand dollars? That is being told the entire battery

4
00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:10,000
Speaker 1: would need replace him. So we reached out to Bearnois,

5
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:11,920
Speaker 1: who was able to fix the small part using a

6
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:14,560
Speaker 1: breast fitting that you'd find it a a home improvance store

7
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:17,560

00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 1: did you ever watch the Tonight Show? As a kid. Well,

21
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:09,840

00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:24,399
Speaker 1: things going. Yes, yeah, so listen, you'll be selling apple

27
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:28,400
Speaker 1: dog food next. Remember that? Do you remember the we

28
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 1: want to talk about. I want to talk about a

29
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:32,399
Speaker 1: little science experiment. And this is actually, this is a

30
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:35,319
Speaker 1: very very true story. Tom came by the shop this week.

31
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:36,679
Speaker 1: We changed the oil in his car. I think it

32
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 1: was Tuesday. Uh, yeah, I think so. But and what

33
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 1: the listeners need to know about this is that I

34
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 1: stopped by the shop and we change the oil or something,

35
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 1: and you go, hey, Tom, let's try this on your car.

36
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 1: And it's usually when I'm doing something like going to

37
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 1: Philadelphia or going to Virginia, going to Baltimore, taking a

38
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 1: taking a short hop, you know, so Tom takes these

39
00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 1: short rides to places. You know, if Tom ever says

40
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 1: to his wife, Hey, so I'm going out for milk,

41
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 1: she wants to know what part of Pennsylvania he's going

42
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 1: to from New York because it's uh, it's it's all

43
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 1: these long distance rides for most people, but not Tom. Yeah.

44
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:10,959
Speaker 1: Well actually this week it's I but I'm not driving,

45
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 1: so okay, Well you'll be back out there. Well, they

46
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 1: need the president of the Car Doctor fan club out there.

47
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:21,080
Speaker 1: I understand that. So um Tom came by and we've

48
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 1: got some Berryman high um there there with hest technology,

49
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 1: the fuel tank cleaner, the fuel system cleaner, guaranteed tune

50
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 1: up in a can. And I said, Tom, I want

51
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:34,359
Speaker 1: you to try this because I had really good results

52
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:36,080
Speaker 1: using it in the suburban. It got rid of the

53
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:39,519
Speaker 1: ping and it idles better. It it was having a

54
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 1: little bit of a stutter off the line and I

55
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 1: couldn't quite And as I looked at fuel trim on

56
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:45,679
Speaker 1: the scan tool, I was watching and I said, you know,

57
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 1: fuel trim's getting a little cock eyed for this motor

58
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 1: because I know that the way that car is supposed

59
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 1: to work. And the Berryman really cleaned it up well.

60
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 1: So I gave Tom ac can and I didn't really

61
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 1: tell him what it was. I just had him pour

62
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 1: it in. He knew it was something Berryman. I've actually

63
00:02:57,880 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 1: got a picture of it, but I've been I've been

64
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 1: to so busy I haven't put it up on Facebook.

65
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 1: And this morning, when I was out running around doing

66
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:07,360
Speaker 1: errands before the show, I said, by the way, Tom

67
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,919
Speaker 1: had that can of Berryman's YadA YadA yat work and

68
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,919
Speaker 1: and and the end result is Mr Ray, Well, the

69
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 1: end result was and granted, I you know, when I

70
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 1: left your place, I had to go to Secaucus. I

71
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 1: filled up the tank because it was about three requarters

72
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 1: full when I was at the at the shop. And

73
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 1: then I drove down to Philadelphia. And about halfway down

74
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:31,240
Speaker 1: to Philadelphia, I noticed a couple of things. Um, First

75
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 1: of all, the vehicle and this car has two hundred

76
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 1: almost two hundred, and it's almost three d thousand. Now

77
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 1: you're right and driving down there. Well, in the past

78
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 1: several weeks, it's it's kind of like what you described.

79
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 1: It's not really a stutter, but it was almost like

80
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 1: a minor, minor hesitation off the line. It was it

81
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 1: wasn't it was too minor to even mention. And I

82
00:03:56,320 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 1: noticed that was gone. Um. And I also knows in

83
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 1: in the hot weather, in in the summer, this car

84
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 1: has always had this feeling about it. It's not really

85
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 1: it's not really having trouble, but it just has this

86
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 1: it feels like it's it's it doesn't want to go

87
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 1: down the rate it's going. It's it's having a great

88
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 1: but it doesn't feel like it's really has enthusiasm to

89
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:22,279
Speaker 1: move down the road. That feeling is gone. It's just moving,

90
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 1: you know. And I also lately it's when you're on

91
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 1: a like I wrote, road around here in the neighborhood.

92
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:35,600
Speaker 1: It's about thirty miles an hour around here, and you know,

93
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,239
Speaker 1: the car doesn't really get out of third or fourth gear,

94
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 1: but it seemed like it was almost bogging down a

95
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 1: little bit um, you know, and it wanted the transmission

96
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:52,160
Speaker 1: to downshift. That's gone and great, well, because you know

97
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:55,279
Speaker 1: we're talking about loss of power effects, how the trends

98
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 1: reaches a shift point over the curve and you've you've

99
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 1: made it better. Was actually, I'll tell you the secret, Tom.

100
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 1: That was Berryman's number sixteen or I'm sorry, Berry's seen.

101
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 1: That's their hest high energy solving technology can a fuel

102
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:13,719
Speaker 1: system cleaner, and it's really it's doing some really great stuff.

103
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 1: I wanted you to try it, and if you're a

104
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:16,720
Speaker 1: good boy, I'll give you another one the next time

105
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 1: you come. Now, good, Yeah, it's good stuff. And a

106
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:20,720
Speaker 1: matter of fact, I'll get one for the for the

107
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:24,160
Speaker 1: Mrs Car too, because this is great. It was it

108
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 1: made a noticeable improvement. Usually when you say that, I

109
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:28,479
Speaker 1: just sit there and go, yeah, okay, I'll just kinda

110
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,600
Speaker 1: look around. But no, it made a noticeable improvement. I

111
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 1: was impressed. Well. And the only reason I do this

112
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 1: is because I want people to understand when we tell

113
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,239
Speaker 1: you we tried something, we try something. There is anything

114
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 1: I don't think we've ever talked about that we haven't tried.

115
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 1: And you know, there's a reason why we're probably not

116
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,599
Speaker 1: in a top ten national show in a sense because

117
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:50,720
Speaker 1: we kind of tend to tell the truth about advertising.

118
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 1: We you know, we um, We've been approached to advertise

119
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 1: some really ridiculous stuff and we turn them down. It's,

120
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,479
Speaker 1: you know, we like what we have. Yeah, and like

121
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:03,359
Speaker 1: I said, this stuff worked, um, and it was noticeable

122
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 1: before the first tank of gas was off on you know.

123
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 1: So yeah, that's a Barriman Products dot com. By the way,

124
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:12,040
Speaker 1: is the website. UM. I wanted to get that out

125
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 1: of the way before we go to the phones, and

126
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 1: then I want to talk about this. I was gonna

127
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 1: talk about this in the previous hour. Did just see

128
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 1: the article out of ann Arbor, Michigan. This is how

129
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:22,719
Speaker 1: I know electric cars are in trouble. They've annoyed the

130
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:26,720
Speaker 1: Catholic Church. Okay, there's an article out of ann Arbor,

131
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 1: Michigan that talks about the Catholic churches fighting parking requirements.

132
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:32,480
Speaker 1: They're trying to expand the church and the town of

133
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:36,479
Speaker 1: ann Arbor wanted them to put something like electric vehicle

134
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:40,039
Speaker 1: charging stations in and the church came back and fought

135
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 1: against it in the town and they ended up I

136
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:44,920
Speaker 1: think they ended up with six electric vehicle charging spots

137
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 1: and four possible future slots. And this went back and

138
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 1: forth and on and on and on for a couple

139
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:53,360
Speaker 1: of months. And it's you know, it's not just this

140
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 1: story about zoning and small town America and Arbor is

141
00:06:56,720 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 1: not so small. But it's this. It's remember what I

142
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:03,919
Speaker 1: say to you here, folks, it's the societal change of

143
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:08,719
Speaker 1: what electric vehicles represent. Already, we're trying to accommodate electric

144
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 1: vehicles to the point of overkill. Nine electric vehicle parking

145
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 1: spots for the church that that they can't even afford.

146
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 1: The church couldn't afford to do it. They cited them

147
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 1: as too expensive and unnecessary because we're not there yet.

148
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 1: Electric vehicles are two to three percent of the population.

149
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 1: What are we thinking to make electric vehicle parking spots

150
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 1: for electricity? We don't have to charge cars that aren't

151
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 1: on the road yet. This this sounds like that line.

152
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 1: There's a there's a movie, uh, Dave, You ever see

153
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 1: Dave where the guy that looks like the president is

154
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 1: met I can't think of the actor's name. The guy

155
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 1: that looks like the president becomes the president and there's

156
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 1: a line in there where he's trying to balance the

157
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 1: budget and he talks about, you want to have an

158
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 1: advertising campaign to make the American public feel good about

159
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 1: a car they already purchased that they're already driving. But

160
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 1: you want me to close a homeless shelter for kids.

161
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 1: And it has all the logic and concise thought process

162
00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 1: of that. Uh, you know, it's just it's just it's

163
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 1: just ludicrous. But um, you know, I could go on.

164
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 1: I'm just here to report the news. There was another

165
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 1: article recently too, out of the Wall Street Journal about

166
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 1: gas engines are already being cast aside for electric vehicles

167
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 1: and while this is all happening, and this that was

168
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 1: out of the Wall Street Journal July this year, while

169
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 1: all this is happening, while this electric vehicle crescendo is building,

170
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 1: they still won't tell us where the electricity is coming from.

171
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 1: They still won't tell us where we're getting the batteries from.

172
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 1: They still won't tell us about the recycling. They still

173
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:35,959
Speaker 1: won't tell us about the job loss is about the

174
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 1: economic impact. All they're telling us is electric vehicles are

175
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 1: the wave of the future. They're going to be waving.

176
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be goodbye to a couple of

177
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 1: things because it doesn't just it just doesn't make sense.

178
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:52,959
Speaker 1: And I want to point out that from a repair

179
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:57,200
Speaker 1: procedure point of view. You know, we've got repair shops

180
00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 1: out there. They can't spell O, B D two much

181
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 1: less fix it. And now you're gonna give these guys

182
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 1: electric vehicles. And you know, it's ludicrous. It's it's absolutely ludicrous.

183
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:10,200
Speaker 1: I've still maintained my position ten to of the fleet

184
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 1: electric vehicle delivery vehicles, male vehicles, uh, you know, taking

185
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 1: the kids to school around town, But you don't need

186
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 1: to make the whole country electric vehicle. I think that's ridiculous.

187
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 1: I I really though, So Tom, let's pull over, take

188
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 1: a pause, taking a maintenance. Yeah. I was in a

189
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 1: cab in New York City yesterday on a big sign

190
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,680
Speaker 1: posted in the cab that says, you know, these vehicles

191
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 1: are maintained to the standard, the high standards of the

192
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 1: whatever the authority is that you know that handles the

193
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 1: cabs in New York. And I'm looking over the guy's

194
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:47,319
Speaker 1: shoulder check engine light, low low pressure warning light. Uh,

195
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 1: there was an I think there was an oil light.

196
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:52,200
Speaker 1: There was some other light on. It was like, really,

197
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:56,320
Speaker 1: I really like their standards. You know what that you

198
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:58,320
Speaker 1: know what that brings to my mind? Tom, And I

199
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:02,680
Speaker 1: mean this in all sincerity. An electric vehicle will not

200
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 1: operate with warning lights onto that capacity. So all this

201
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 1: nickel and dime Rube Goldberg patching things up is going

202
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 1: to come to an end. And the economic impact of

203
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 1: you can't cheat with your vehicle anymore. I had some

204
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:23,079
Speaker 1: you know what, go to the YouTube page and google

205
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 1: Ronininian and look at the library. Look at the oh

206
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 1: seven Envoy fuse box video. I did. Some guy, some

207
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 1: genius actually said why did you put a fuse box

208
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 1: in it? Why didn't you just put a jumper wire

209
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:39,200
Speaker 1: instead of putting a fuse box in it? You know,

210
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 1: because I wrote him back, I said, you know, I

211
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 1: said it nicely. First of all, I told them there's

212
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:45,840
Speaker 1: enough hacks out there, because I think that's a hack

213
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 1: move and a hack thought. And number one and number two,

214
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:52,080
Speaker 1: I don't want to be liable for the fire. You know,

215
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 1: the GM engineer designed that with a purpose, believe me.

216
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 1: And when you stand in front of the judge, gee,

217
00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 1: why the car catch fire and the three people inside

218
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:00,959
Speaker 1: were roasted to death? Well because some guy put a

219
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:02,839
Speaker 1: jumper wire in because he knew more than the GM

220
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 1: engineer that went to school for this. Good luck with that.

221
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:08,200
Speaker 1: All that stuff is gonna come to an end. No

222
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:11,199
Speaker 1: more check engine lights on well, no more warning lights,

223
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:13,200
Speaker 1: because I guarantee you they're gonna make it so that

224
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:16,440
Speaker 1: the electric vehicles, when they fail, you're gonna have to

225
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 1: fix it, because there's gonna be no you know, when

226
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 1: the Starship Enterprise loses warp drive, they can only go

227
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 1: so far in impulse power. I'll leave it there eight

228
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 1: five zero zero. The car doctors cruising back right after this,

229
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 1: he drives that way. But when it comes to fixing cars.

230
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:41,320
Speaker 1: Ron has card advice done right eight five five five

231
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 1: zero nine zero zero. Here's Ron. Hey, we made it

232
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:48,080
Speaker 1: wait long enough. Let's get over to Michael in Missouri. Michael,

233
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 1: thank you for your patients and letting Tom and I

234
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 1: ramble a little bit. We're fired up and ready to go. Brother.

235
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 1: How can we help you in your vehicle today? Yeah? Yeah,

236
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 1: I have a two thousand and eight and I've had

237
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 1: for about two months smell um. It's got a four

238
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 1: point seven lid crewcab, the wheel drive with a six

239
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:07,320
Speaker 1: steed manual UM. The truck has about a hard thirty

240
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:11,320
Speaker 1: miles on it. The engine was replaced at ninety eight thousand.

241
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 1: It was supplied by jasper Um. I'm having some transmission

242
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:18,080
Speaker 1: issues with it UM. On a on a colder morning.

243
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 1: When I first started up, it will make a really loud,

244
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 1: really fast capping noise with my foots on the clutch,

245
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:25,960
Speaker 1: and then when I let go it'll go away. So

246
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 1: I'll kind of put my foot on the clutch back

247
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 1: off at a couple of times, and then it will

248
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:33,079
Speaker 1: kind of die down and won't do it. Um. It

249
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 1: will grind really hard and really loudly going into second

250
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 1: gear and going into third gear especially um and less

251
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 1: you double clutch, then it doesn't do it near as much. UM.

252
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 1: It will not down shift into second gear unless your

253
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:56,280
Speaker 1: RPMs are just about it a thousand and shifter. Okay, Yeah.

254
00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:00,839
Speaker 1: I took it to the Dodge dealer and they they

255
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 1: put about a half hour labor into it. Um. They

256
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 1: told me that the first thing that they would have

257
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:08,959
Speaker 1: to do is put a clutch in it. For um.

258
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 1: They said they couldn't guarantee it out fix it, but

259
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:14,200
Speaker 1: they wouldn't be able to diagnose it better than that

260
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:18,079
Speaker 1: before putting a clutch in it. And that that sounds

261
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 1: like a lot of money to throw at it, you know,

262
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 1: without without properly diagnosing it. THO, I wanted to call

263
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 1: and get your opinion on it. Well, I, first of all,

264
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 1: I think too grand for a clutch is probably the

265
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 1: game today, It really is. Clutch parts are just insane.

266
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 1: It's probably more to fix a manual transmission vehicle transmission

267
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 1: than it is automatic in some cases. Today it's it's

268
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:45,320
Speaker 1: crazy the numbers. Yeah, it's not so two grand is

269
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 1: you know? It's going right? I hate to say it

270
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:51,959
Speaker 1: like that, and that's new clutch. I'm sure that's Chrysler stuff,

271
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 1: Chrysler throwout bearing, and it is. You know, the vehicle

272
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:57,439
Speaker 1: is almost fourteen going on fifteen years old. I'm sure

273
00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:00,839
Speaker 1: there's exhausted part, rusty exhaust parts, things to deal with,

274
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:04,079
Speaker 1: and you know, what's the breakage factor. So let's assume

275
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 1: it's all right. But I think I think the other

276
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:12,960
Speaker 1: thing that they're missing is has anybody checked fluid level

277
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:15,320
Speaker 1: in the trans as anybody drained the fluid out of

278
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 1: the trans is their metal in the trans You know what?

279
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:21,160
Speaker 1: Can we know right off the bat, because listen, the

280
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 1: the the easy fix here. You want to diagnose it,

281
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 1: I can diagnose it from mirror. I've been seeing the vehicle.

282
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 1: My answer is gonna be, Michael, we're gonna put a

283
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 1: clutch in a transmission in your car. It's fine, it's done,

284
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 1: and it's fixed. You know. But that's that's what they've

285
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 1: got to be talking about too, you because then you've

286
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 1: got to make a decision at a hundred forty thousand miles,

287
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 1: a two thousand and eight, how much rust, how badly

288
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:42,120
Speaker 1: beat up is the rest of the vehicle, Is it

289
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 1: worth putting a clutch in the transit. It probably is.

290
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 1: But I think rather than what I think is leading

291
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 1: you down the road is to try to you know,

292
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 1: let's talk about the eight hundre pound gorilla in the room.

293
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 1: Isn't a bad trans too. It sounds like it needs

294
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 1: a clutch, but it sounds like it may need a

295
00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 1: trans you know, like there's more than one problem here,

296
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 1: so you know, back to my first comment. Has anybody

297
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 1: drained the fluid out of it? As anybody checked fluid

298
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 1: level in the trans? No? Um, it sounds like the

299
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 1: dealer they pretty much. It sounds like they just took

300
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 1: it for a test drive. Um, they didn't really tear

301
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 1: into anything. I look at anything. Don't sound like you know.

302
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:24,520
Speaker 1: Here's here's the question I want you to answer, whether

303
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 1: you do it now on the air tomorrow morning to

304
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 1: yourself or monday if this needed a trans and a

305
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 1: clutch and it was six grand, would you do it? Absolutely?

306
00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 1: You can't can't find these trucks anymore. I want to

307
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:44,880
Speaker 1: make it last as long as I can. So what

308
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 1: you're really looking for then, is a competent repair shop.

309
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 1: I'm not saying the dealer isn't. You're looking for a

310
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 1: competent repair shop. You're looking for someone that will look

311
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 1: after this vehicle like it's their own. Someone that's gonna,

312
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 1: you know, the little things, and that's that's how you

313
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:06,280
Speaker 1: gauge a quality repair shop. A quality repair shop, in

314
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:08,200
Speaker 1: my mind, is gauged by the things that they don't

315
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:11,040
Speaker 1: charge you for on the bill, but they do it anyway.

316
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 1: When they spray paint the rusty spot, when they throw

317
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 1: a little fluid in the washer bottle and it's not

318
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 1: there for an oil change. You know, when they put

319
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 1: the inspection stick around the car and they clean around

320
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 1: the glue off the old one because that little snot

321
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 1: a glue in the corner would make them crazy because

322
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 1: of the glass. You know, it doesn't it's not nice,

323
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:30,160
Speaker 1: you know. That's that's really what you're after. Do you

324
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 1: have a shop you have a relationship with Michael Um? Not?

325
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 1: Not really know. Um. I've always gone to dealerships for

326
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 1: like uh like warnkey worker recalls, but most everything else

327
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 1: I do on my own. I don't feel confident enough

328
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:52,840
Speaker 1: to tear into a transmission either though, well you probably

329
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:55,560
Speaker 1: wouldn't fix the trans you would likely just swap the

330
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 1: trans out, or if you can pull the transcend, it

331
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 1: out to a rebuilder. Do you have a trans rebuild

332
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 1: shop in town that's got a good reputation? Yes? Do

333
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:12,240
Speaker 1: they have? Do they do carry and work? Uh? That

334
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:14,240
Speaker 1: I do not know. I'd have to call him and

335
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:18,920
Speaker 1: uh because because not every shop does. I think the way,

336
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:21,240
Speaker 1: I think the way that you have to approach this,

337
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:23,040
Speaker 1: and I think the way the shop would approach this.

338
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:24,639
Speaker 1: And you know this is what you're gonna listen for

339
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:26,119
Speaker 1: when you call these guys up here. I got this O.

340
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:28,440
Speaker 1: E Dodge and it's got this tapping noise in the transmission,

341
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:29,920
Speaker 1: and the dealer tells me I need a clutch before

342
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:32,479
Speaker 1: they can even diagnose the rest of it. Um, what

343
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:35,439
Speaker 1: would you guys do? See what he says? Doesn't it

344
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:37,440
Speaker 1: make sense that you would check fluid level in the trans?

345
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 1: What if the trans is completely out of fluid and

346
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:42,840
Speaker 1: you've been driving around for the past three months without

347
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 1: no fluid in the trans good reason why it's making

348
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:47,680
Speaker 1: a tapping noise. So therefore we can now make make

349
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:49,720
Speaker 1: make the determination that you with no fluid in the

350
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 1: trans for a couple of months, the trans is probably

351
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 1: bad and needs a complete overhaul. Okay, so I need

352
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:55,920
Speaker 1: a clutch in a trans overhaul. Isn't that a better

353
00:17:55,920 --> 00:18:01,159
Speaker 1: place to start? Yeah? Absolutely, I know you want to

354
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:02,720
Speaker 1: move to you want to move to New Jersey to

355
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 1: be near me. I understand, I get this. I get

356
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:09,840
Speaker 1: this all the time, trust me. Um, you know that's

357
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:12,880
Speaker 1: why I told Tom no car doctor sightings today. Um,

358
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:15,639
Speaker 1: it's it's it's spooky. I go out. I don't talk. Michael.

359
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 1: Think about what I said. It is cheaper than a

360
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 1: new vehicle if there's limited rust on it, if the

361
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 1: rest of it's good, it's got a new engine. You

362
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:24,240
Speaker 1: know what, a couple of grand anything less than six

363
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:25,960
Speaker 1: or seven grand. If you get away for four grand,

364
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,240
Speaker 1: you gotta wait cheap. Just put a good clutch in it.

365
00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:29,879
Speaker 1: Make sure they give you some kind of guarantee with

366
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:32,720
Speaker 1: the transmission itself. Appreciate the call brought and ainy the

367
00:18:32,720 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 1: car doctor. I'll be back right after this. Don't go away.

368
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:06,199
Speaker 1: Welcome back Granning in the car doctor cruising along this

369
00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 1: hour with big Tom Ray behind the control board. There. Um,

370
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:11,679
Speaker 1: you're looking good this hour, Tom, I should tell you

371
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:15,399
Speaker 1: that point that that that's um. I saw the picture

372
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:18,920
Speaker 1: up on Facebook. That's a cute little studio you have there. Yeah, yeah,

373
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 1: it's a nice little, nice little corner here, and what

374
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:23,720
Speaker 1: used to be my home office, I kind of converted

375
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 1: it to these studios. Yea. I know people don't understand.

376
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 1: I was talking to someone the other day and they said, Um,

377
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:30,639
Speaker 1: you know, how's Tom. I go, I don't know. I

378
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:32,240
Speaker 1: see him once in a while, but I really don't

379
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:34,840
Speaker 1: see a lot of him because you know, he's he's

380
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:36,960
Speaker 1: fifty miles north of me, and uh, you know, here

381
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:40,400
Speaker 1: I am in New Jersey. Uh, you know, doing my thing. Um,

382
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 1: and you know, you talked to the neighbors and they

383
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:45,800
Speaker 1: don't realize there's a national radio show that comes out

384
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:48,480
Speaker 1: of this house every day every week. Yeah. I actually

385
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:51,880
Speaker 1: had my my next door neighbor, Frank right. Um, it's

386
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:54,320
Speaker 1: it's really kind of a funny story. So about two

387
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:57,000
Speaker 1: years ago, the local newspaper, we're off on a tangent here,

388
00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:00,480
Speaker 1: the local newspaper did an article about me, and um,

389
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 1: you know, they talked about the card doctor and this

390
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:04,119
Speaker 1: and that, and I didn't even know what was going on.

391
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:05,600
Speaker 1: I woke up. I woke up one day and it

392
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:08,359
Speaker 1: was on Facebook and somebody had written a story about me,

393
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 1: and we were up on the local news section and

394
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:12,880
Speaker 1: the record of New Jersey. My my neighbor Frank comes

395
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:16,520
Speaker 1: over and he goes, is that you because it's got Frank,

396
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 1: that's my picture is And he goes, but is that

397
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:20,719
Speaker 1: a mistake, No, Frank, that's really me. Really where does

398
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:22,200
Speaker 1: all this happen? I said, come here? And I took

399
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:24,240
Speaker 1: him inside. We came in through the garage and the

400
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:26,159
Speaker 1: corporate headquarters here as we like to call it. And

401
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:29,720
Speaker 1: he goes, this is your laundry room. Because it is.

402
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:31,399
Speaker 1: I said, well you see down there at the end.

403
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 1: I said, what does that look like? He goes, well,

404
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 1: it's like a studio. Well there you go. He goes,

405
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 1: you do the whole thing right from here, right from here.

406
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:41,040
Speaker 1: Um and and that's funny because any any picture I've

407
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:44,920
Speaker 1: ever posted that studio online, you can't tell. Yeah, well

408
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:46,680
Speaker 1: you can't tell because I don't back up so you

409
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 1: can see the washer and dryer. Nobody realizes it's it's

410
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 1: you know, when I talk to people about it, when

411
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:54,040
Speaker 1: there's that, when those those card doctors signings, Oh and

412
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:55,880
Speaker 1: another real quick, and then we'll go back to the phones.

413
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:59,920
Speaker 1: I know we're busy. Um. So for Larry Dike House

414
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:03,760
Speaker 1: for Dyke House Construction, Midland Park, New Jersey. Larry, I,

415
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:05,960
Speaker 1: I've been he's been doing some workforce around the house,

416
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:09,119
Speaker 1: and um, he didn't know. He really didn't know. And

417
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:10,680
Speaker 1: then one day I had to go out there and say, listen,

418
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:11,920
Speaker 1: I've got to do a little work. Did you guys?

419
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:14,160
Speaker 1: You know you're all this hammer banging in the background.

420
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:15,479
Speaker 1: I say, did you guys? Kind of hold it down

421
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:17,440
Speaker 1: for a minute. Yeah, what's up from I said, I

422
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:19,760
Speaker 1: just gotta go do something, and they kind of wandered

423
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:21,840
Speaker 1: over and they heard me record a couple of spots

424
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:24,119
Speaker 1: and I come out of there, and it was it

425
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 1: was like that scene And remember that scene in American

426
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:29,400
Speaker 1: Graffiti where Richard Dreyfuss went in to see Wolfman Jack

427
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:31,040
Speaker 1: at the studio and he says, no, I'm not the

428
00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:33,680
Speaker 1: Wolfman and then he walks out in the Wolfman's doing

429
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:35,960
Speaker 1: his thing on the microphone, right, you know, And it

430
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:38,000
Speaker 1: was sort of like that moment. They're all looking at me, going,

431
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:40,960
Speaker 1: wait a minute, you're the car doctor. And I turned

432
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:43,600
Speaker 1: around and I went, really, oh, okay, well I guess

433
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 1: I better be. I've got his name on my underwear, so, uh,

434
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:51,000
Speaker 1: you know, well, Larry has an uncle Dave. He's a lawyer.

435
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:53,119
Speaker 1: I think he said, I think it's Dave that listens

436
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:56,679
Speaker 1: to the show. So I said I would I promise

437
00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:59,880
Speaker 1: so for that, for Dave, for for Larry's uncle Dave,

438
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:02,080
Speaker 1: whoever it is, the lawyer. This is the shout out.

439
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:05,280
Speaker 1: Hi Dave, you've got yours. Okay, that's your thirty seconds

440
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:07,439
Speaker 1: of fame. Now you had something to say or can

441
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:09,399
Speaker 1: I get back to the phones. No, I was just

442
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:12,160
Speaker 1: gonna say. You know, people don't realize like those opens.

443
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 1: I do those on the kitchen table, on on the computer,

444
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:17,479
Speaker 1: and then I come downstairs and I do the recording

445
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:19,239
Speaker 1: of the commercials and stuff, and then I walk in

446
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:21,720
Speaker 1: here and put everything on the air. And if people

447
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 1: only knew outside this, yeah, I know it's I keep thinking,

448
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:28,159
Speaker 1: you know what if we over if we if we

449
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:31,120
Speaker 1: made this more complicated, we'd screw it up, because it's

450
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:33,760
Speaker 1: been working for twelve years, Well, thirty years? What am

451
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:38,840
Speaker 1: I saying? Thirty years? Mark and Maine very patiently waiting there, sir,

452
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:46,560
Speaker 1: How may I help Ron you get going? I'm telling

453
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:48,640
Speaker 1: you you have no idea what it's like to be us,

454
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:51,199
Speaker 1: because it's like the weirdest feeling in the world. The

455
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:54,199
Speaker 1: worst part about being me is you sneak into the

456
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:57,920
Speaker 1: deli and you get a sandwich and somebody says, hey, Ron,

457
00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:04,879
Speaker 1: how's the radio show going, And everybody turns around. It's

458
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:07,480
Speaker 1: like it's like that Ef Hutton moment. Remember those EF

459
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:12,760
Speaker 1: Hunting commercials when he of Hutton speaks and you go, uh, yeah,

460
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 1: it's good. I gotta go give you my hat out

461
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:18,120
Speaker 1: the door. So how may I help you? Sir? All right,

462
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 1: the same. I don't need any help, but I've been

463
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:25,800
Speaker 1: trying to get in touch with you. I'm the one

464
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:33,360
Speaker 1: with the two thousand twelve for that's on fifty Eco boost. Yeah,

465
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:43,199
Speaker 1: and stop maintenance. I'm ready. What do you want oil? Uh?

466
00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:47,240
Speaker 1: To me? To me in my mind, turbo cars, you know, Uh,

467
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 1: turbo cars are just tough on oil. So right three

468
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:54,840
Speaker 1: to five? You know I might let you go five

469
00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:57,360
Speaker 1: if you put an overrated oil for it. Here's why

470
00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:00,240
Speaker 1: I like to do You know. Here's one thing that

471
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:02,480
Speaker 1: and I'm not talking about to do it yourself for

472
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 1: that's changing his own oil. Because he's under the hood

473
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:07,360
Speaker 1: every Saturday. Anyway. You can tell because he's the guy.

474
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:09,919
Speaker 1: He's the guy that's harangued by his wife. Are you

475
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:13,240
Speaker 1: working on that vehicle again? All right? But for most

476
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:17,159
Speaker 1: people that are driving a turbo vehicle, doing regular maintenance

477
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:20,000
Speaker 1: in the five thousand mile range is good because as

478
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:22,520
Speaker 1: the vehicle gets older. Here's a ten year old vehicle

479
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:24,879
Speaker 1: with probably over a hundred thousand miles and more on it.

480
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 1: Don't you kind of want somebody under the hood every

481
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:30,359
Speaker 1: five six months kind of looking around, what's falling apart,

482
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:32,840
Speaker 1: what's loose, what's breaking, what's ready to break, what's leaking?

483
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:38,840
Speaker 1: So you know, yeah, it's it's all about maintenance. It's

484
00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 1: not just about changing things. It's about looking at things. Right,

485
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:53,959
Speaker 1: I changed mind every three thousand miles because you know, uh,

486
00:24:56,200 --> 00:25:03,719
Speaker 1: gonna from the oil three miles and I don't know,

487
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:08,640
Speaker 1: I sent you a couple of pictures. Maybe I don't

488
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:11,240
Speaker 1: know an hour ago. All right, I probably haven't seen

489
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:15,080
Speaker 1: him yet. But yeah, listen, there's there's there's nothing. There's

490
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:18,439
Speaker 1: nothing wrong with changing oil you know a little early.

491
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:24,040
Speaker 1: I completely agree with that. You know, you know what

492
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:26,880
Speaker 1: the hard problem is with with oil changes. Mark, We've

493
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 1: got people out there, uh that that tell me that

494
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:32,520
Speaker 1: they think ten thousand miles is a good oil change

495
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:36,919
Speaker 1: interval using nothing but standard oil and regular filters. And

496
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:39,600
Speaker 1: I you know, you can go ten thousand miles on

497
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:42,200
Speaker 1: an oil change, but you better have an oil filter

498
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:44,800
Speaker 1: rated for it, and you better have oil rated for it,

499
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:50,600
Speaker 1: you know, otherwise otherwise you're just you know, you're there's

500
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:52,440
Speaker 1: only so many times you can bang on the door

501
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:54,800
Speaker 1: before the door falls open and hit you in the head.

502
00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:58,840
Speaker 1: You know, it's it's so anyway, So that's oil. What

503
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 1: else you want to talk about? Cool? How often you

504
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:07,679
Speaker 1: change the coolength on this truck? Uh? Once every two years? Okay?

505
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:15,760
Speaker 1: And what are you using? Ford gold? Uh? Conventional green? Ye? Right?

506
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:20,280
Speaker 1: So you know, depending upon what color the coolength is

507
00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:22,440
Speaker 1: orange your gold, you can go three to five years.

508
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:24,400
Speaker 1: I think the other thing you got to think about

509
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:29,480
Speaker 1: is how many miles are on this truck and change?

510
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:31,679
Speaker 1: All right? So it's it's ten years old. It's just

511
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:36,199
Speaker 1: about ten years old. Yep. You ever put a radiator

512
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:42,040
Speaker 1: in it? Nope, plastic radiator. So you want to you

513
00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:43,520
Speaker 1: want to you want to pay attention. You want to

514
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:45,960
Speaker 1: pay attention to that. The plastic tank radiators, when do

515
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:48,600
Speaker 1: they fail? The inner coolers are kind of bulletproof. You

516
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:50,399
Speaker 1: want to look at the trans cooler lines, make sure

517
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:53,080
Speaker 1: they're not rusting, especially up there in Maine where they

518
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:57,199
Speaker 1: invented corrosion. That's what the state's known for, you know,

519
00:26:57,280 --> 00:26:59,560
Speaker 1: as the people ask the people around the bath Bridge.

520
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:01,600
Speaker 1: I still remember that story. The bath Bridge brought it

521
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:03,760
Speaker 1: off its foundation a couple of five six years ago

522
00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:06,400
Speaker 1: because the corrosive used the clean snow and ice off

523
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:10,040
Speaker 1: the road was so harsh. So uh, you know, think

524
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:14,320
Speaker 1: about component replacement coolant. Obviously, drive line fluids. Drive line

525
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:16,760
Speaker 1: fluids every thirty or forty miles is a great idea.

526
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:19,679
Speaker 1: If it's wet, replace it, And I think that's a

527
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:22,720
Speaker 1: great starting point. And then of course break fluid, break

528
00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:25,280
Speaker 1: fluid every two years at at a at a minimum,

529
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:28,159
Speaker 1: if not more more often. And then because of the

530
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:30,600
Speaker 1: environment you're in, because it's all about environment, you want

531
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:33,879
Speaker 1: to think, you know, louping things, keeping rubber components wet,

532
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:37,040
Speaker 1: a little silicon spray a little we actually make a

533
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:40,800
Speaker 1: concoction of silicon spray and some penetrating oil and some

534
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:44,560
Speaker 1: liquid wrench and will uh keep things wet, lubricating wise

535
00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:47,600
Speaker 1: and keep things from corroding. But that's what maintenance is

536
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:49,480
Speaker 1: all about and you know what, Mark, When I see

537
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:51,880
Speaker 1: your pictures, I'll comment further, but I appreciate the call.

538
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:55,280
Speaker 1: So let's uh, let's get going, so you you stay

539
00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:59,000
Speaker 1: in touch zero. The car doctor is coming back right

540
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:12,840
Speaker 1: after this. Don't go away, hey, welcome back running the

541
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:17,480
Speaker 1: car Doctor cruising along the Saturday zoo zero? Would he

542
00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:20,840
Speaker 1: ever capable, always lovable, often imitated and never duplicated? Tom

543
00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:23,359
Speaker 1: Ray at the control board. Let's let's go over to

544
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:26,240
Speaker 1: Steve in Virginia eighty nine suburban. Couple of them eighty

545
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:28,960
Speaker 1: nine suburban suburban? You know, three for a nickel today, Steve.

546
00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:31,080
Speaker 1: If they got a thurban, we'll do that too. Go ahead,

547
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:34,640
Speaker 1: what do you got, Hey? How you doing there? Good?

548
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:39,360
Speaker 1: What's going on? Thanking? UM nine five suburban? I got

549
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:42,960
Speaker 1: a h back control unit that does not work. It

550
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:46,200
Speaker 1: randomly puts the air to the defroster, heat or event.

551
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:50,560
Speaker 1: You can't control it. Replace the unit still doesn't work.

552
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:53,120
Speaker 1: It's a ninety five, so they don't make the unit anymore.

553
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:54,760
Speaker 1: You can't buy it. You go get one from a

554
00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:58,160
Speaker 1: later vehicle and get an adapter plug to make it work.

555
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:03,160
Speaker 1: It still doesn't work. I can't pass inspection. How do

556
00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:05,600
Speaker 1: you know it's the control unit. Did you diagnose it

557
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:09,400
Speaker 1: to that or you're just guessing and swapping parts? Um,

558
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:13,040
Speaker 1: I the what are the actuators on the bottom? I've

559
00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:15,720
Speaker 1: replaced those. One was bad and I did replace that

560
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:22,080
Speaker 1: had a split gear. I'm getting signal at the actuators,

561
00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:28,480
Speaker 1: but other than that, they had a cracked The board

562
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:30,560
Speaker 1: was cracked. So I had a break in one of

563
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:33,320
Speaker 1: the electrical parts in the age fact unit. So you're

564
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:35,760
Speaker 1: it sounds like it sounds like Stevie, you're you're telling

565
00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:39,400
Speaker 1: me that the control unit itself, the plastic control unit,

566
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:45,360
Speaker 1: is failing mechanically or or so it's it's a mechanical failure.

567
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:50,880
Speaker 1: You've dry rotted. And yeah, yeah, you've looked for replacement pieces.

568
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:55,040
Speaker 1: I know they don't make this stuff anymore. Yeah, at

569
00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:57,440
Speaker 1: the time, nobody had it, so I ended up buying one.

570
00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:01,360
Speaker 1: It was reconditioned. And uh, it's so it's a little

571
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:05,680
Speaker 1: different that it's not perfect. It'll switch from defroster, like

572
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:07,720
Speaker 1: if I want defroster, I have to put it on heat.

573
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:12,959
Speaker 1: So this works backwards. Um, it sounds like you've got

574
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:15,240
Speaker 1: the right It sounds like you you you're looking for

575
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:18,160
Speaker 1: the right part. You just can't find them. From what

576
00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:21,240
Speaker 1: you're telling me, it sounds like it's been diagnosed properly.

577
00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:23,680
Speaker 1: What's the name of the company that does is it

578
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:29,160
Speaker 1: LMC truck. Yeah, they do have one, but they don't

579
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:34,680
Speaker 1: have it for the figures, right, so for some reason

580
00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:38,240
Speaker 1: just not available. Yeah, something makes it unique. Then it's

581
00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:41,000
Speaker 1: just you know what, it's Craig's list and probably something

582
00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:43,200
Speaker 1: from a drier climate where it's less likely to be

583
00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:46,920
Speaker 1: damaged by the environment, is the best way I could

584
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:49,560
Speaker 1: explain it. So let's move on to the Wiper Corp

585
00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:52,320
Speaker 1: vehicle because that your first one sounds like it's parts.

586
00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:55,760
Speaker 1: What's going on with the wiper vehicle? Okay, eighty nine

587
00:30:55,920 --> 00:31:00,840
Speaker 1: Chevy Suburban daily truck. So I need wipers to past inspection. Well,

588
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 1: you also need wipers to drive in the rain. I mean,

589
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:05,840
Speaker 1: the heck with inspection. But you know so, and what's

590
00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:09,840
Speaker 1: going on with this? What I do is of the stalk.

591
00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:14,400
Speaker 1: When you turn it too low, you you don't get wipers,

592
00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:16,520
Speaker 1: So you have to turn it too high and then

593
00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:18,400
Speaker 1: you get wipers. But then when you turn them off,

594
00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:21,280
Speaker 1: it just stops anywhere, won't stop. It just keeps going,

595
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:25,400
Speaker 1: so to stop it you have to rotate it all

596
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:28,640
Speaker 1: the way to pulse you know, we're intermittent, and then

597
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:32,240
Speaker 1: release it right when you wanted to stop at the bottom.

598
00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:35,200
Speaker 1: And and what sort of what sort of diagnosis have

599
00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:39,840
Speaker 1: you done to this on this one? I've done. I've

600
00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:43,320
Speaker 1: replaced the stalk switch. Yeah, I needed in a new

601
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:45,960
Speaker 1: one anyway, because the paint was off. I would you

602
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:51,880
Speaker 1: can read it, and that's still made no difference on it. Um,

603
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:56,440
Speaker 1: So I'm I'm thinking it's possibly the the control board. Yeah,

604
00:31:56,440 --> 00:32:00,560
Speaker 1: the control boards themselves. The control boards themselves went bed

605
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:03,960
Speaker 1: more often than anything on those vehicles. As a matter

606
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:05,680
Speaker 1: of fact, if you take it off, I believe it's

607
00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:11,240
Speaker 1: three torque screws holding it on that. Yeah, Yeah, that's

608
00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:14,960
Speaker 1: that's that's a torqu's yep that you're gonna see. You'll

609
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:18,240
Speaker 1: actually see a burn mark on the circuit board. But here,

610
00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:20,760
Speaker 1: let's let's let's do this. Let's go to the wiper motor,

611
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:24,040
Speaker 1: all right, with the with the key and the with

612
00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:26,640
Speaker 1: the key in the run position. Even though some of

613
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:28,760
Speaker 1: these you already have some of these answers with the

614
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:31,000
Speaker 1: key in the run position. The white wire should show

615
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:35,920
Speaker 1: twelve vaults should show battery voltage. Okay, if you put

616
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:37,840
Speaker 1: it in there, if you put it in low speed,

617
00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:41,400
Speaker 1: the gray wire should become grounded. So if you put

618
00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:43,280
Speaker 1: the meter across the white and the gray, you should

619
00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:47,520
Speaker 1: have you should show twelve vaults. That's ground okay. If

620
00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:50,040
Speaker 1: you put it across the purple, or if you and

621
00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:52,400
Speaker 1: turn the switch to high, you should see the same thing.

622
00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:55,680
Speaker 1: That at least tells you the circuits complete. Now, if

623
00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:59,160
Speaker 1: you don't get that, then you've got to go back

624
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:02,600
Speaker 1: and say wine not. And if I'm not mistaken, there

625
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:04,360
Speaker 1: was a way, and I think the pulse boards are

626
00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:06,840
Speaker 1: still available, but I thought there was a way to

627
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:10,200
Speaker 1: jumper around the pulse board. I'm trying to remember, it's

628
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:13,479
Speaker 1: twenty years ago. It's longer than that. I thought there

629
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:15,800
Speaker 1: was a way to jump around the pulse board, just

630
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:17,560
Speaker 1: to put it in low and high, so you at

631
00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:21,800
Speaker 1: least verify that that's your fault. We'll see this actually

632
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:24,440
Speaker 1: doesn't have a pulse board like eighty nine pickup would

633
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:26,960
Speaker 1: have a pulse board, you know, under each the hood,

634
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:31,520
Speaker 1: but the eighty nine Suburban just has that little box

635
00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:34,640
Speaker 1: underneath the dash and it's a steering column. I go

636
00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:37,320
Speaker 1: to buy eight nine, they give me the pulse board,

637
00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:40,920
Speaker 1: which it's a wrong board. So you have so right,

638
00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:42,840
Speaker 1: So that and the difference here is gonna be that

639
00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:44,520
Speaker 1: I think there was a V and a K or

640
00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:47,360
Speaker 1: yeah there was. There was a new body style and

641
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:54,080
Speaker 1: an old body style suburban that year. Yeah, yeah, so unfortunately. Yeah,

642
00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:56,440
Speaker 1: you know, it sounds like you're in the need of parts.

643
00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:57,960
Speaker 1: But if you want to test it that way that

644
00:33:58,040 --> 00:34:00,560
Speaker 1: I just described, that will at least tell you your

645
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:03,680
Speaker 1: basics are there, hey, process of elimination. Tell me what's good.

646
00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:06,040
Speaker 1: You'll be able to figure out what's bad. I'll look around,

647
00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:07,360
Speaker 1: I'll see if I can come up with something for

648
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:09,440
Speaker 1: a pulse board. There's got to be a source somewhere.

649
00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:12,719
Speaker 1: Maybe Dorman. Go out the Dormant Products dot Com. Check

650
00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:14,719
Speaker 1: it out. Maybe they've got something rebuilt. And if not,

651
00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:17,200
Speaker 1: we can talk again next week. Stay in touch. I'm

652
00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:19,359
Speaker 1: Ron Any and the Car Doctor. We're back right after this.

653
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:28,040
Speaker 1: I want I'm back or on any of the Car

654
00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:31,239
Speaker 1: Doctor so real quick or real quick restoration story. We

655
00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:33,600
Speaker 1: haven't talked to any restoration in a while. We had

656
00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:37,200
Speaker 1: a friend of Danny's, my mechanic. He's he gave him

657
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:40,800
Speaker 1: these control arms for the seventy eight Corvette that Danny

658
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:43,239
Speaker 1: needed to do up control arm bushings on and the

659
00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:45,480
Speaker 1: fellow that owned the car had tried to do it himself.

660
00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:48,080
Speaker 1: Never a good sign. And you know we got these

661
00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:50,200
Speaker 1: control arm bushing. You can see they've been pounding on

662
00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:52,920
Speaker 1: him with chisels and hammers, trying to get the bushings out,

663
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:54,279
Speaker 1: and that's when he gave up and turned it over

664
00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:57,439
Speaker 1: to Danny. So um, you know, there was nothing left

665
00:34:57,480 --> 00:34:59,279
Speaker 1: to grab, there was nothing left to press. So the

666
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:00,640
Speaker 1: first thing I did this pbably would have made a

667
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:03,080
Speaker 1: good video. I set him on fire out in the

668
00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:04,960
Speaker 1: parking lot. I took the torch. I hated the rubber

669
00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:06,840
Speaker 1: up and started melting the pushings. I put it in

670
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:09,200
Speaker 1: a steel box. It wouldn't melt the parking lot and

671
00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:11,200
Speaker 1: burn the rubber bushings out, and I was able to

672
00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:14,120
Speaker 1: get the bushings apart and get them apart. The problem was,

673
00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:16,880
Speaker 1: and his attempt to fix it, he put some gouges

674
00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:20,080
Speaker 1: in the cross shifts. Thank god for JB. Weld. Right,

675
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:22,240
Speaker 1: went out to the JB. Weld website that I'm reading

676
00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:26,400
Speaker 1: steel stick apoxy putty. All right. I cleaned it. I

677
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:29,160
Speaker 1: cleaned what he had damaged, filed it smoothed that you know,

678
00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:31,640
Speaker 1: filled it, filed, it smoothed, it put the pushings on.

679
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:33,560
Speaker 1: You'll never know the difference. And they were strong as

680
00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:35,920
Speaker 1: the day they were made. Thank God for JB. Weld.

681
00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:37,840
Speaker 1: I'm not an any in the Guard doc. You're reminding you.

682
00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:40,640
Speaker 1: Good mechanics aren't expensive, they're priceless. Se
