We're not live in all our affiliates and 30 00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:30,479 Speaker 1: are growing affiliates. By the way, if I know we're 31 00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:35,920 Speaker 1: in Hawaii this week, UM, I think it's k A. Oh, yeah, 32 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,920 Speaker 1: there we go. Um, we're there, and we're in a 33 00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:40,680 Speaker 1: few other places that um, I don't know. We just 34 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,880 Speaker 1: keep sprouting up or like, um, I don't know, we're 35 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:46,240 Speaker 1: like the bad seed. We're just growing and we're everywhere. 36 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:47,840 Speaker 1: Maybe the good seed. I'm not sure which it is, 37 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:49,800 Speaker 1: but um, anyway, that's what this radio show is. I 38 00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:51,680 Speaker 1: got some comments and questions and things I want to 39 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:53,880 Speaker 1: put out there, but right now, since the phones are 40 00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:55,400 Speaker 1: so backed up, let me take the pressure off of 41 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:59,559 Speaker 1: my executive producer, executive chief engineer, and chief cook bottle washer. 42 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:00,920 Speaker 1: And by the way, Tommy missed a spot on the 43 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,400 Speaker 1: floor last week. When you were cleaning up. Let's go 44 00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:05,520 Speaker 1: over to the phones and let's go talk to Roger 45 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:08,480 Speaker 1: from Dayton, Ohio one Toyota land Cruiser. Roger, you're at 46 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:10,520 Speaker 1: the car doctor, sir. How can I help? Uh? Yeah, 47 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:12,520 Speaker 1: thank you, running Roger. I just want to let you 48 00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 1: know that I'm the old guy that got one of 49 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:16,840 Speaker 1: your lunch scanners and I use that to help with 50 00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,680 Speaker 1: this car. Nice little, nice little tool, isn't it. It 51 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,480 Speaker 1: is a great tool. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So what 52 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:26,119 Speaker 1: I've got this This is my granddaughter's Toyota land Cruisers 53 00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:28,400 Speaker 1: and no one I think she thinks it's got about 54 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 1: three hundred thousand miles on it. She's only had it 55 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,079 Speaker 1: for like four or five months. But it went out 56 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 1: today to to scan it today for us do I 57 00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:39,359 Speaker 1: just came on the last couple of days and we've 58 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,639 Speaker 1: been down to below zero and zero, so I went 59 00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:44,240 Speaker 1: out to today. It was at zero, so I didn't 60 00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:46,440 Speaker 1: get a lot done, but I did scan it had 61 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:48,840 Speaker 1: it has a P three O four and I pending 62 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:54,280 Speaker 1: P three oh four, so um, I did some mode 63 00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:58,440 Speaker 1: sticks on it. Short term fuel trim was point minus 64 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:04,240 Speaker 1: point zero eight, long term with point point zero and 65 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 1: then short term Bank too was minus eighteen degrees and 66 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:11,359 Speaker 1: long term Bank two was five point five degrees. Okay, 67 00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 1: so something's going on bank too. And that's where cylinder 68 00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:15,359 Speaker 1: we said cylinder four, this is a this is a 69 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:19,200 Speaker 1: the eight or V six B eight, So bank two 70 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:23,320 Speaker 1: would be It sounds like Bank two is cylinder. It 71 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:25,959 Speaker 1: sounds like cylinder four's bank one if I'm breaking that 72 00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 1: down right in my head. Yeah. Yeah. The long term 73 00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:31,960 Speaker 1: on bank one was zero point zero. Is that good 74 00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:34,080 Speaker 1: or bad? Yeah? Zero point zero is about you know, 75 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:37,920 Speaker 1: that's that's actually pretty good. That's actually real tight. Um. 76 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 1: You know what what I would try to do just 77 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:42,280 Speaker 1: for giggles, and you know you can't do this now 78 00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:44,680 Speaker 1: that you have a scan tool. Um, if you're ever 79 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 1: confused about which bank is which, or you know, create 80 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 1: a fault on that bank. See how the tool reacts. 81 00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 1: All right. You know, every once in a while, you're 82 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:57,000 Speaker 1: gonna run into some cars on Volvos, on certain generation Volvos, 83 00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 1: the the beginning around two thousand to see in the 84 00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:04,240 Speaker 1: V series and the two five five cylinders and all those, 85 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:07,600 Speaker 1: there's an issue where you'll get an intake manifold leak. 86 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,600 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, you'll get a vacuum leak at the intake 87 00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 1: at the rubber hose. Just blow the pressure regulator and 88 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:16,160 Speaker 1: it will actually enrich and fuel trimp UM. It's sort 89 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,440 Speaker 1: of an anomaly in their software. It's something that they 90 00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 1: and only they do. It's kind of unique to them, 91 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,680 Speaker 1: and uh, you know it's so you'll actually see some 92 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,760 Speaker 1: weird things. But the point being use the tool. You know, 93 00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:29,719 Speaker 1: you can play with banks on on twin bank motors 94 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 1: and see which way we're going. So back to what 95 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,279 Speaker 1: you're doing. What sort of diagnoses have you done beyond 96 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:36,480 Speaker 1: you know, scanning it, if you looked at the cylinder 97 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,240 Speaker 1: for in anyway, No, not yet, because I just wanted 98 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:41,480 Speaker 1: to call you because the same was I didn't run 99 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:43,479 Speaker 1: a round too long because the chickens in like with 100 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,920 Speaker 1: flashing with flash three or fo. Sure, yeah, it's a misfire, 101 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:53,080 Speaker 1: it's a stutter. It's it's worth Yeah, No, absolutely not. 102 00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:55,840 Speaker 1: Don't let her drive it. Um, it's gotta it's gotta 103 00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,880 Speaker 1: be fixed. The real question you're you're gonna chase is 104 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 1: is this mechanical this ignition or is this fuel? You know? 105 00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:05,360 Speaker 1: Which which is this? Um? You know? Is it is 106 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:11,160 Speaker 1: it misfiring when it's called. So if it's misfiring when 107 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:16,120 Speaker 1: it's called, it's likely not enclosed loop, which means that 108 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:19,200 Speaker 1: the computer doesn't have the ability. You know, it's limited 109 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:20,960 Speaker 1: in terms of its function. It's going to detect some 110 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:24,920 Speaker 1: high priority stuff like misfires and things like that. So 111 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 1: I don't I don't believe this is gonna be a 112 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 1: fuel trim related misfire. If it was, you should see 113 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:32,200 Speaker 1: it on more than just cylinder four, and you would 114 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:35,440 Speaker 1: see it affect the whole bank. So you know, there 115 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:38,159 Speaker 1: might be two problems here. There might be you know, 116 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:42,240 Speaker 1: one singular problem argument being did you scan this car 117 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 1: prior to the check engine light being on? Right? So 118 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:48,840 Speaker 1: you know the fuel trim while it's good to know 119 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,240 Speaker 1: that one side is zero and the other is essentially 120 00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:53,920 Speaker 1: zero and the other side is minus a team meaning 121 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:57,320 Speaker 1: that it's running rich, may be related to what you're experiencing. 122 00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 1: Or maybe you know, the other problem that you don't 123 00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:03,680 Speaker 1: know was about to happen is hasn't happened yet. So 124 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:08,040 Speaker 1: let's let's focus on cylinder four. Um, you know, spark plug. 125 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:10,120 Speaker 1: Is this a coil on? This should be a this 126 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:13,800 Speaker 1: a coil on plug? Vehicle two thousand one. I believe so, 127 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,479 Speaker 1: but I'm not sure. I look because it was zero 128 00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:18,279 Speaker 1: degrees out there, and I just did so like getting 129 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:22,200 Speaker 1: out there and taking half the Come on, it's not 130 00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 1: that cold. If if you think Florida, you'll be warm. Um. Yeah, 131 00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:29,320 Speaker 1: But if this is coil on plug, let's take the 132 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:32,760 Speaker 1: coil from cylinder four and move it to oh, I 133 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:36,360 Speaker 1: don't care, cylinder one, cylinder five, wherever. And let's take 134 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:38,560 Speaker 1: the plug out and move that to a different cylinder 135 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:41,279 Speaker 1: and just and write down and mark what you move 136 00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:44,280 Speaker 1: and where you move it to. All Right, you know 137 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:46,200 Speaker 1: this is the this is the easiest way to do it. 138 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:49,800 Speaker 1: And then started up. Does the misfire stay with cylinder four? 139 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:53,520 Speaker 1: If it does, it's something on cylinder four? Um if it. 140 00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:56,080 Speaker 1: If it doesn't, you know where did it go? Did 141 00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:59,039 Speaker 1: it follow the coil? Did it follow the plug? Now 142 00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:03,119 Speaker 1: the can viachts here are, you know, at three hundred 143 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:06,159 Speaker 1: thousand miles. And I'm saying this kind of tugging cheek 144 00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:12,800 Speaker 1: if these are the original plugs. Um, but you know 145 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,680 Speaker 1: where I'm going. You know, I've said this to people 146 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,160 Speaker 1: and they'll tell me that you know it it followed 147 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,680 Speaker 1: the plug, and then I'll find out there a hundred 148 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:22,920 Speaker 1: fifty thousand miles spark plugs in their role. Worrn't's just 149 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:25,240 Speaker 1: this one particular plug was breaking down first, So they 150 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:28,160 Speaker 1: do one plug and two weeks later they get another misfire. 151 00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:33,560 Speaker 1: So obviously age and condition of components takes precedent every time. Um. 152 00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:38,200 Speaker 1: You know, fixing cars, and I say this a lot 153 00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:40,360 Speaker 1: during during my career, and I have and I'll probably 154 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 1: continue fixing cars is fixing what you know is bad 155 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,800 Speaker 1: and moving on to the next thing, you know, So 156 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:48,000 Speaker 1: it's it's obvious. Let's look at plugs. If we can 157 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,640 Speaker 1: move coil and plug around, great. You know, if this 158 00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:52,760 Speaker 1: is a wire car, which I don't think it is, 159 00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:55,440 Speaker 1: then we're gonna get into some other things and we 160 00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:56,960 Speaker 1: can talk about that if you give me a shout 161 00:07:56,960 --> 00:08:00,200 Speaker 1: back next week. But you know, it's let's start with basics, um. 162 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:01,920 Speaker 1: And then when you do pull the plug, what does 163 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:05,080 Speaker 1: the plug look like? Is it is it black and oily? 164 00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:08,080 Speaker 1: Is it wet? It doesn't look like it's not firing. 165 00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,560 Speaker 1: You know, spark plug's gotta have some heat if the 166 00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:13,200 Speaker 1: if the cylinder has got some heat and compression you're 167 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:14,880 Speaker 1: gonna see a dry plug and it's gonna be a 168 00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:17,600 Speaker 1: little pinkish white in color. If it's if it's you know, 169 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:20,200 Speaker 1: off color, or if it's if it's black and oily, 170 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,560 Speaker 1: and then we've got a compression issue. It's something mechanical, 171 00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:25,320 Speaker 1: or it could just be a plug that's completely dead 172 00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:28,040 Speaker 1: and come no longer fire. And that's always possible to 173 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:30,760 Speaker 1: which in which case, once you put it in cylinder four, 174 00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:32,520 Speaker 1: at that point I wouldn't move it to another cylinder. 175 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:34,600 Speaker 1: I'd probably put a fresh plug in it. And and 176 00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:39,880 Speaker 1: see not going to replace all the plugs anyway, Well, 177 00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:44,240 Speaker 1: yeah we can, But before we get too ambitious, let's diagnose. Um, 178 00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:46,000 Speaker 1: you know, that's that a little bit of black smoke, 179 00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:47,800 Speaker 1: not a lot, but a little bit coming out of 180 00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:51,360 Speaker 1: the exhaust. Well, and keep in mind that minus a 181 00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:54,960 Speaker 1: teen fuel trim problem on bank too, you're you are 182 00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:58,960 Speaker 1: if we believe that to be correct, you are overfuelling 183 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:03,120 Speaker 1: Bank to all right, Bank to Bank two is running 184 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:05,240 Speaker 1: if zero is a balanced fuel mixture. Back in the 185 00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:08,480 Speaker 1: days of carburetors, dirt was dirt was invented and gotten 186 00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:11,959 Speaker 1: I were kids. Um, you know, a zero fuel trim 187 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,319 Speaker 1: is fourteen point seven to one air fuel mixture. It's 188 00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:16,760 Speaker 1: a Stowe it's a balanced mixture or STOWEO metric. I'm 189 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,000 Speaker 1: probably saying that wrong. I annoy people, but oh well, 190 00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:22,240 Speaker 1: I'm from Jersey, I do that. Um. You know, so 191 00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:26,120 Speaker 1: zero is zero. Zero is our suggested are desired fuel TRIMP. 192 00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:30,160 Speaker 1: Minus eighteen means that it's running rich on that bank, 193 00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:32,600 Speaker 1: and so we have to subtract away fuel. So what 194 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:35,520 Speaker 1: we're doing is we're shortening injector pulse with to cut 195 00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:38,040 Speaker 1: down on amount of fuel being delivered to try and 196 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:42,360 Speaker 1: bring that into a balanced mixture. Eventually, that's gonna set 197 00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:45,600 Speaker 1: up zero one seventy four. Um, sorry, it's gonna set 198 00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:51,120 Speaker 1: a rich mixture on bank two. Uh fault in time 199 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:53,839 Speaker 1: give it. It It probably hit about minus and that's where 200 00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:57,040 Speaker 1: the fault will occur. Um, as seen by mode six, 201 00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:00,160 Speaker 1: not one seven four. It will be one seven think 202 00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:02,280 Speaker 1: one seven five or one seven six. I forget now, 203 00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:05,320 Speaker 1: it's been a while. Um, generally we don't see rich 204 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:08,560 Speaker 1: fuel condition faults one seven, two and one seven. Yeah, 205 00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:11,559 Speaker 1: you know you're gonna make me look that one up. Um, 206 00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:14,120 Speaker 1: But in any event, you get the idea. So let's 207 00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:17,080 Speaker 1: focus on the misfire and see what that gets us. 208 00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:19,120 Speaker 1: The other thing you can try real quick. You got 209 00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:22,960 Speaker 1: a long handled screwdriver. Okay, see if you can find 210 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:26,280 Speaker 1: the fuel injectors. All right, stick the one end of 211 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:28,439 Speaker 1: the screwdriver on the injector. Put the other end to 212 00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:30,720 Speaker 1: your ear. Keep in mind that the injectors are probably 213 00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:32,440 Speaker 1: a plastic body. You don't want to push on them, 214 00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:34,599 Speaker 1: wedge on them prior on them. But you want to 215 00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:37,880 Speaker 1: use the screwdriver to listen to all right, you should 216 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,160 Speaker 1: hear tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick 217 00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:43,160 Speaker 1: with you know, get to get the consistency in your head. 218 00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:46,720 Speaker 1: Go to number four injector. Can you listen to that one? 219 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:53,319 Speaker 1: If number four injectors sounds like this, that's a problem. Okay, Um, 220 00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:54,880 Speaker 1: you know if it's not or if it's got, if 221 00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:58,280 Speaker 1: it's tick tick, you know if it if it varies, 222 00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:01,280 Speaker 1: why is that? You know? Yeah? Why is Why is that? 223 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:06,600 Speaker 1: And that will make it miss also, so um it's sticking. 224 00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:08,320 Speaker 1: It's bad. But then we can get into and have 225 00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:11,360 Speaker 1: the conversation about drivers. Uh you know at that point, 226 00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:13,680 Speaker 1: if I can get to the injector, I would somehow 227 00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:17,640 Speaker 1: omit obviously, you know, engine off unplugged that injector unplugged 228 00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:20,080 Speaker 1: one of the other eight that's known good at that point. 229 00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 1: You know, if this one measures three point two homes 230 00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:25,839 Speaker 1: and this one measures ten olms, you know what sounds like, 231 00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:29,360 Speaker 1: I've got a problem. Um. Usually when an injector fails, 232 00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:32,960 Speaker 1: it fails open um or higher resistance that there's no 233 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,920 Speaker 1: doubt in your mind that there's a problem there. So 234 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:39,080 Speaker 1: you know, Um, listen, you got this far, you plugged 235 00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:42,120 Speaker 1: in the tool. You're doing good, keep going. Okay, all right, 236 00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:45,160 Speaker 1: check it out and what happens. And if you want 237 00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:47,440 Speaker 1: to listen to any of this conversation, Roger, give it 238 00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:49,760 Speaker 1: about two hours. When we're done with the show today. 239 00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,000 Speaker 1: Tom will get it posted up on podcast if you 240 00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:54,959 Speaker 1: go to Car Doctor Show dot com or spreaker. Um, 241 00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:57,640 Speaker 1: however you're doing podcasts, and actually I think Car Doctor 242 00:11:57,679 --> 00:11:59,800 Speaker 1: Show dot Com takes you to spreaker. This would be 243 00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:03,000 Speaker 1: in the second hour, first quarter, and um, you can 244 00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:05,240 Speaker 1: listen to the broadcast again and you can get all 245 00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:08,680 Speaker 1: the notes right now.

Let's go and 253 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:38,120 Speaker 1: talk to Paul from Minnesota. I want to give a 254 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:40,679 Speaker 1: little intro here. Paul is a Ford Master technician now 255 00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:43,880 Speaker 1: semi retired. UM. I have talked to Paul. Oh. I 256 00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:45,760 Speaker 1: can't tell you how many times over the past it's 257 00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:48,920 Speaker 1: got to be fifteen, maybe twenty years. UM, we've been 258 00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,559 Speaker 1: We've been sharing ideas on this radio show together and 259 00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:54,560 Speaker 1: I appreciate his input each and every time. Paul, Welcome back, sir. 260 00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:57,240 Speaker 1: What's going on today? Hey? Dr Ron? How are you 261 00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:59,240 Speaker 1: doing good? First of all, let's get the weather report. 262 00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:03,040 Speaker 1: What's how called it in Minnesota today? Well, okay, now 263 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:07,440 Speaker 1: we finally got a bow zero and we only have 264 00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:10,160 Speaker 1: a few days of that. But last night was thirty 265 00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:15,040 Speaker 1: three below, night before was below and the night before 266 00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:20,760 Speaker 1: that was a balmy below. Yeah that was that's without windshield. 267 00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:26,200 Speaker 1: Thank god, we have had very low wind up here. 268 00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:32,840 Speaker 1: But yeah, interesting things happened you're you're telling me right 269 00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:37,720 Speaker 1: now in Minnesota where you are, it's it's zero. Oh yeah, 270 00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:39,880 Speaker 1: we just yeah, we it was zero. So it's like 271 00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:44,480 Speaker 1: break out the barbecue, you know. You know. I was 272 00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:46,960 Speaker 1: at I saw a story on us side, right. I 273 00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:48,880 Speaker 1: was at the chiropractor this morning. We were talking about 274 00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:51,079 Speaker 1: something or maybe it was here in the studio. We're 275 00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:53,280 Speaker 1: talking about the football and Giants and this and that, 276 00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:57,040 Speaker 1: and um, I said to Tony, Um, I think we're 277 00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,160 Speaker 1: at the deli. Tony. I said to Tony that you 278 00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:01,000 Speaker 1: know you can go to found this out just recently. 279 00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,480 Speaker 1: You can go to Minnesota Vikings game on game day 280 00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:06,400 Speaker 1: and and get seats on the fifty yard line for 281 00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:10,920 Speaker 1: forty bucks whatever. He said, yeah, but it's Minnesota. And 282 00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:14,319 Speaker 1: I said, well, how cold could it be? Now? I know, um, 283 00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:16,320 Speaker 1: you know, fifty dollars to go sit on the fifty 284 00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:18,800 Speaker 1: yard line and zero degree weather? I don't know. I 285 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:22,280 Speaker 1: don't love anything that much. Um, that's cold, brother. How 286 00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:26,120 Speaker 1: do the cars handle it? Well? It's interesting up here. 287 00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:30,240 Speaker 1: And again being aware of watching your East Coast weather 288 00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:35,000 Speaker 1: and your your bomb going on. Uh, I think one 289 00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:38,520 Speaker 1: thing I wanted to ask you, uh, And I don't 290 00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:43,480 Speaker 1: I'm assuming that magic word that nobody's got block heaters. 291 00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:48,400 Speaker 1: If they are, they don't use them. Um yeah, so yeah, 292 00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:50,360 Speaker 1: I've had the same thing up here, even with some people, 293 00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:52,360 Speaker 1: although by a veagle. Oh I don't know if I've 294 00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:55,680 Speaker 1: got a block heater, you know, you know, check you know, 295 00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 1: but yeah, my my vehicle sits out in the white 296 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:04,600 Speaker 1: some courses in the garage. Well but yeah, we uh yeah, 297 00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:07,280 Speaker 1: I'm a big believer. I got a two leader focus 298 00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:11,520 Speaker 1: and yeah, plug her in and yeah, I'll show fire 299 00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:14,480 Speaker 1: right up. You know, even have battery heaters up here? 300 00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:21,320 Speaker 1: Uh is staggering. Oh yeah, no, when you're when your 301 00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:24,720 Speaker 1: house starts talking to you, you know, it's cold. So yeah, um, 302 00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:26,960 Speaker 1: you know, you know. And then I guess I guess 303 00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:33,280 Speaker 1: with windshill you could probably hit below easy you know. 304 00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:38,920 Speaker 1: Wow how much Yeah, it tightens you up. How much 305 00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:43,840 Speaker 1: snow do you have on the ground. Uh, we're about 306 00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:47,120 Speaker 1: we're a little behind on snow, but that's going to 307 00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:52,320 Speaker 1: change tonight. According to the weatherman's she's coming. Well, Minnesota 308 00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:56,080 Speaker 1: is the land of the Great Plains Indians, right, yeah, 309 00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:57,800 Speaker 1: well see, and that's why they're all dead. Look how 310 00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:01,800 Speaker 1: harsh the winters are very go right, you know it's 311 00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:05,640 Speaker 1: but another one I wanted to ask you is do 312 00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:11,000 Speaker 1: you promote winter tires in terms of what winter tires 313 00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:13,520 Speaker 1: in terms of a snow tire, or winter tires in 314 00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:16,720 Speaker 1: terms of something like a blizzac or something along those. 315 00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:20,640 Speaker 1: There you go. The snow tire quote uncode is kind 316 00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:25,080 Speaker 1: of a dead thing. The winter tires the blizza. Okay, 317 00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:28,560 Speaker 1: on my vehicle, I have a good year Ultra grip. 318 00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:37,640 Speaker 1: My wife's Taurus has the Hankook Arctic. And again, when 319 00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:40,960 Speaker 1: you're at these temperatures, actually at twenty above, you're going 320 00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:44,880 Speaker 1: to notice a difference. In fact, I was a little 321 00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:49,240 Speaker 1: late taking off my my General sport tires off of 322 00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:52,080 Speaker 1: the focus because it was getting icy and we're black 323 00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:55,720 Speaker 1: ice and everything else. And they're listed as an M 324 00:16:55,720 --> 00:17:01,680 Speaker 1: and S, but at these temperatures they're worth lists. Throw 325 00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:03,960 Speaker 1: on the altar grips and it was like it's a 326 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:08,920 Speaker 1: new day. Well, and it's very very soft, com pound entire, 327 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:13,320 Speaker 1: a lot of sight being directional tread. You know, hey, 328 00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:15,320 Speaker 1: let me ask you this question. You're the diesel guru. 329 00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:20,880 Speaker 1: How do the diesels handle this? Our biggest issue? Well, 330 00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:26,320 Speaker 1: it's it's across the nation. The biggest issue is fuel quality. Uh, 331 00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:30,120 Speaker 1: the C chain rating. The government has a C tain rating. 332 00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:34,480 Speaker 1: Nobody's got it that even comes close. So we're big 333 00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:41,440 Speaker 1: on additives. Fuel filter changes constantly, but yeah, the additives. 334 00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:45,120 Speaker 1: You have a number of name brands, you know, Hot Chat, Secret, 335 00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:51,440 Speaker 1: nine House. There's a lot of good products out there, 336 00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:54,880 Speaker 1: but you have to use them consistently. And I had 337 00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:58,320 Speaker 1: a majority of my customers are up here. It's loggers 338 00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:01,639 Speaker 1: and this at the time that they're they're out in 339 00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:05,280 Speaker 1: the woods, and I like the classic term. I'm like, well, 340 00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:06,920 Speaker 1: make sure you plug her in. He says, there ain't 341 00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:09,200 Speaker 1: no electric bush out in the bush. Yeah, well it's 342 00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:11,880 Speaker 1: you know, yeah, I can understand that. I always wonder. 343 00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:14,359 Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna hold you an extra a couple 344 00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:16,400 Speaker 1: of minutes here, Paul. When we get back, I want 345 00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:19,240 Speaker 1: to ask you think about this. Do you think diesels 346 00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:21,439 Speaker 1: you know? Well, let me say it like this. I 347 00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:24,639 Speaker 1: see a lot of people buy a diesel truck. It 348 00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:27,000 Speaker 1: gets a hundred thousand miles on, it needs a major repair, 349 00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:28,160 Speaker 1: and they want to get rid of it. And I'm 350 00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:29,720 Speaker 1: saying they want to buy it for in the first place. 351 00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:32,440 Speaker 1: I wonder about the return on a diesel as an investment, 352 00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:34,399 Speaker 1: because it's so much more money than a gas engine. 353 00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:35,959 Speaker 1: Let's talk about that when I come back. I'm run 354 00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:38,040 Speaker 1: naming the car doctor. We'll be back right after this. 355 00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:59,760 Speaker 1: Back coming back all right with Hey, five five five 356 00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:03,199 Speaker 1: S zero zero the car toll free number. Use it, 357 00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:05,320 Speaker 1: keep it, Give us a call anytime, day and night. 358 00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:07,000 Speaker 1: We'll call you back and get you up here on air. Paul, 359 00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:11,439 Speaker 1: you're still there from Minnesota? Um, real quick. So you 360 00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:12,640 Speaker 1: know they go out and they buy an F three 361 00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:15,200 Speaker 1: fifty with the diesel option. Diesel option has to add 362 00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:18,400 Speaker 1: what six seven grand to the price of the truck. Uh, well, 363 00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:21,440 Speaker 1: with the new six seven you're probably looking at eight 364 00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:23,960 Speaker 1: and a half. Yeah, okay, So you know they go 365 00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:26,080 Speaker 1: out and they had this six to ten grand option 366 00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:29,719 Speaker 1: of diesel, and you know, a hundred thousand miles, they 367 00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:31,320 Speaker 1: feel like, well, you know, it's an old vehicle at 368 00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:32,439 Speaker 1: this point in time, to get rid of them, not 369 00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:33,960 Speaker 1: spend any money on it. And I see it all 370 00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:36,879 Speaker 1: day long, all day long. Oh yeah, what are you 371 00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:40,040 Speaker 1: what are your thoughts on that? Well, okay, the biggest 372 00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:41,840 Speaker 1: thing and I'm gonna I'm gonna go back a little 373 00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:46,840 Speaker 1: bit with the the Illustrious six Leaders. I had a 374 00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:50,560 Speaker 1: number of customers coming, oh yeah, and then I, knowing 375 00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:53,439 Speaker 1: them small town, I'm like, why did you buy that, 376 00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:57,639 Speaker 1: Brian Well, I gotta pull my boat. I'm like, no, 377 00:19:57,840 --> 00:19:59,560 Speaker 1: you don't need a diesel full the boat. And then 378 00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:03,080 Speaker 1: complain about the performance of the sixth Leader because oh, 379 00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:06,919 Speaker 1: it's sluggish, the turbos and working blah blah blah. And 380 00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:09,879 Speaker 1: I'm like, no, it's made to work. You're not working it. 381 00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:12,520 Speaker 1: You just don't drive to the grocery store and back 382 00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:15,399 Speaker 1: and think that's good. You know, I think people have 383 00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:19,200 Speaker 1: to take that consideration. Are you using it? I mean 384 00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:23,600 Speaker 1: working it. If you're not working it, you're gonna have trouble. 385 00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:27,639 Speaker 1: I dealt with the railroad vehicles up here, and I 386 00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:32,600 Speaker 1: won't mention the railroad, but they're there. Their utility vehicles 387 00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:39,520 Speaker 1: are all diesel, and I had like darn near zero failures, 388 00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:46,600 Speaker 1: zero drive ability issues because they were overloaded, overworked, and 389 00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:50,440 Speaker 1: they shine. And that's what the versus somebody who's, oh, 390 00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:52,119 Speaker 1: I've got to drive up town and go to the 391 00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:54,879 Speaker 1: grocery store. Oh, we gotta pull the camper once a 392 00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:58,160 Speaker 1: year or take the boat up the lake or something 393 00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:02,160 Speaker 1: like that. I'm like, no, you know, you can't justify 394 00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:05,000 Speaker 1: the cost, you know, and you can't justify when it 395 00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:08,520 Speaker 1: breaks down, what it's gonna cost to repair, because yeah, 396 00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:12,080 Speaker 1: I think diesels and maybe I'm hoping the polish is 397 00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:14,760 Speaker 1: falling off them to a degree. But it's all about, 398 00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:17,080 Speaker 1: you know, the it goes with my bag and I 399 00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:20,080 Speaker 1: wear the right shoes, and you know, I'm being stylish. 400 00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:22,639 Speaker 1: I have a diesel or whatever, and I just I 401 00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:24,680 Speaker 1: think we're done so, but we don't want to hear 402 00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:28,439 Speaker 1: the clatter or something. I don't know what turns people 403 00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:32,600 Speaker 1: on about that, you know. Okay, a sixth leader D 404 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,600 Speaker 1: my my thing, I got to a hundred thousand miles, 405 00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:41,159 Speaker 1: or you need replace all the injectors, okay, two D 406 00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:46,240 Speaker 1: seventy three dollars each eight plus labor plus labor four grand, 407 00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:49,720 Speaker 1: five grand. Uh. I don't like saying, well, if you're 408 00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:51,760 Speaker 1: good at it, I could beat the book on it. 409 00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:56,440 Speaker 1: But you know it's not easy. It is labor intensive. 410 00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:59,560 Speaker 1: But that's the only cure for your drive ability issue, 411 00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:05,000 Speaker 1: you know. Yeah, and Pete again too, we've got a 412 00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:09,360 Speaker 1: maintenance issue enough with gas. The maintenance level on your 413 00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:13,560 Speaker 1: diesel is twice is big and the classic one is 414 00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:15,359 Speaker 1: when the last time you change your fuel filter and 415 00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:19,760 Speaker 1: when they go, uh, you know you've got a problem. 416 00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:22,560 Speaker 1: All valid points, Paul. I appreciate your input, sir, as 417 00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:25,400 Speaker 1: always and um I'm gonna I'm gonna say, I hope 418 00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:27,679 Speaker 1: you enjoy semi retirement, but you don't retire from this 419 00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:30,160 Speaker 1: radio show. We always enjoyed talking and listening and hearing 420 00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:33,760 Speaker 1: from you. Always glad to talk to you. Dr Ron, 421 00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:35,360 Speaker 1: Thank you, you take good care and have a good 422 00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:38,280 Speaker 1: rest of the weekend. Enjoy alrighty, thank you, Yes, sir, 423 00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:40,719 Speaker 1: Let's get over and talk to Chuck from Katie, Texas. 424 00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:43,280 Speaker 1: Chuck Charles, how are you today, sir? What's going on? 425 00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:46,120 Speaker 1: Find sir? How are your Ron? Thanks you taking my call. 426 00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:47,800 Speaker 1: You're welcome. What do you got what's going on with 427 00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:52,520 Speaker 1: your truck today? Okay? Well, um as as, I am 428 00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:54,919 Speaker 1: a fluid guy. I believe in fluid fluids, proper fluids, 429 00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:59,760 Speaker 1: clean fluid, gotta have it. So I'm concerned about the training. 430 00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:03,119 Speaker 1: I'm looking into it. And uh, I watched a lot 431 00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:06,560 Speaker 1: of stuff on YouTube because usually do One guy said 432 00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:09,679 Speaker 1: it about sixty he said, But let me tell you. 433 00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:12,480 Speaker 1: Just if you just take the pan down, he shows 434 00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:15,200 Speaker 1: you procede you how and change the filter and watch 435 00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:18,320 Speaker 1: O Rain Player. Then and that about the sixty courts 436 00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:21,960 Speaker 1: you lose that process. That should be okay, he said, 437 00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:23,760 Speaker 1: because if you take it to a dealer and they 438 00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:25,800 Speaker 1: tell you that they're gonna do a flush, you're gonna 439 00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:28,560 Speaker 1: beat the Jesus out of it to get it to temperature. 440 00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:30,440 Speaker 1: Because it's a valve, it probably won't open and get 441 00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:34,560 Speaker 1: it completely through the system. See, and you know, I'm 442 00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:37,240 Speaker 1: all about changing all the fluids if I can. The 443 00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:40,480 Speaker 1: problem is, and this is an O nine f one 444 00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:43,639 Speaker 1: fifty if I remember right, Yeah, yeah, because it's got 445 00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:46,840 Speaker 1: six speed and transmission. Looks like it was manufactured for aircraft. 446 00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:49,840 Speaker 1: It's beautiful, right, it's this is Is this the dipstick 447 00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:52,560 Speaker 1: on the right side of the case, Yes, sir. And 448 00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:56,240 Speaker 1: it's it's the short stick down by the exhaust, Yes, sir. 449 00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:58,359 Speaker 1: Isn't that a great idea? That's where I put it. 450 00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:01,119 Speaker 1: You know, let's let's put it right next to the 451 00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:03,680 Speaker 1: exhausting the catalytic converters so that you get third degree 452 00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:05,119 Speaker 1: burns on your hands every time you want to go 453 00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:07,840 Speaker 1: and check fluid level. I'm looking under the hood like 454 00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:10,080 Speaker 1: an idiot because I just did an oral change and 455 00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:13,040 Speaker 1: I'm like, wait, how do you I gotta look at this, 456 00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:17,840 Speaker 1: where is this and what is it doing? So, you know, 457 00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:20,639 Speaker 1: back in the old days when when things were normal, 458 00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:22,720 Speaker 1: we we had a fluid exchange machine. We still have 459 00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:24,720 Speaker 1: the fluid exchange machine. We're just talking about this week 460 00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:26,240 Speaker 1: at the shop, like maybe we don't need it anymore 461 00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:28,920 Speaker 1: because nothing has a dipstick, it seems, except our own 462 00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:31,080 Speaker 1: vehicles because we hang onto older cars because we just 463 00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:34,760 Speaker 1: we can. But my point is that it was just 464 00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:36,359 Speaker 1: nice to be able to walk over with the fluid 465 00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:39,040 Speaker 1: exchange machine, put it down the dipstick tube and you know, 466 00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:41,639 Speaker 1: suck in, suck out, or you know, push out and 467 00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:45,120 Speaker 1: push in and so forth, and just do a complete exchange. Um. 468 00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:47,720 Speaker 1: There there are probably adapters that you can get for 469 00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:50,000 Speaker 1: a fluid machine if your repair shop has that, if 470 00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:52,480 Speaker 1: you have one that you talk to that you know, um, 471 00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:54,240 Speaker 1: you know when you can do it that way, or 472 00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:57,359 Speaker 1: you can kind of cut around and just change the 473 00:24:57,400 --> 00:25:00,480 Speaker 1: fluid three or four times, you know, and and in 474 00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:02,760 Speaker 1: time it'll get cleaner each and every time it gets 475 00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:06,720 Speaker 1: expensive and it's very labor intensive. Um, I wouldn't I 476 00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:09,119 Speaker 1: wouldn't wait till sixty. I would have changed it at fifty. 477 00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:11,800 Speaker 1: That's just my way of thinking. What fluid is this? Chuck? 478 00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:16,680 Speaker 1: Is this lv LV LV fluid? Ford LV fluid? And 479 00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:19,760 Speaker 1: there's two schools of thought. Ford says, you know, change 480 00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:23,880 Speaker 1: it never or when the additive package is approximately worn out, 481 00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:25,640 Speaker 1: which I see a lot of reports to talk about 482 00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:28,960 Speaker 1: it being worn out by fifty and sixty thousand. You know, 483 00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:32,800 Speaker 1: I think that depends on operating conditions and what sort 484 00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:36,480 Speaker 1: of environment the vehicles in. But I'm still a believer 485 00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:39,520 Speaker 1: in fluid changes, just like you. And if this, if 486 00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:42,440 Speaker 1: this were mine, I would be dropping the pan and 487 00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:44,560 Speaker 1: maybe drop it again in five thousand, and drop it 488 00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:46,760 Speaker 1: again five thousand after that, and from that point on 489 00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:49,159 Speaker 1: drive it and and and just you know, hope for 490 00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:52,200 Speaker 1: the best. That would change the filter the first time around, Yeah, 491 00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:54,399 Speaker 1: maybe the second time around depends on how dirty it is. 492 00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:55,920 Speaker 1: And the third time around, I would just you know, 493 00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:58,960 Speaker 1: drop the pan. Uh, you know it. You got to 494 00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:01,919 Speaker 1: remember the reason they put that dipstick down low is 495 00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:06,320 Speaker 1: they're trying to keep everybody from adding and playing with fluid. Uh. 496 00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:08,520 Speaker 1: You know, when that vehicle is under warranty, if the 497 00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:11,280 Speaker 1: wrong fluid is put in and the trans fails, the 498 00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:13,600 Speaker 1: manufacturer is gonna have a hard time proving it. So 499 00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:16,199 Speaker 1: you know, that's one of the reasons I'm told they 500 00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:19,560 Speaker 1: went to a shorter impossible to get to a dipstick. Um, 501 00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:23,399 Speaker 1: but you know it's fluids. Okay, I'm yeah, I'm okay 502 00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:25,520 Speaker 1: with that and all that procedure. But the last point 503 00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:27,280 Speaker 1: the question was, he said, when the guys do this 504 00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:30,160 Speaker 1: procedure and you put that six or seven quarts back 505 00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:33,040 Speaker 1: can that you lose from the pan gas gets replaceably. 506 00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:36,800 Speaker 1: You don't change that great good video, he said, only 507 00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:39,159 Speaker 1: fill it to it just touches on the bottom of 508 00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:42,880 Speaker 1: the stick because it's going to expand. Yes, and that's correct. 509 00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:45,560 Speaker 1: And and if if I'm not mistaken, Ford has a 510 00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:49,159 Speaker 1: specific temperature procedure using a scan tool. They want you 511 00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:50,520 Speaker 1: to bring it up and bring up the t f 512 00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:54,040 Speaker 1: T the trans fluid tempt uh pit and they want 513 00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:55,439 Speaker 1: you to watch it and then they give you a 514 00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:57,080 Speaker 1: graph and they tell you between a hundred and thirty 515 00:26:57,119 --> 00:26:59,480 Speaker 1: five degrees and eighty five degrees and here's the L 516 00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:01,720 Speaker 1: shaped gray. If that we all wondered in high school, 517 00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:03,440 Speaker 1: do you why are we taking geometry and algebra and 518 00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:05,479 Speaker 1: all this stuff so we can read, so we can 519 00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:09,199 Speaker 1: read scantels to put fluid and transmissions? I mean, you know, nobody, 520 00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:12,320 Speaker 1: you know, in all my years in high school, whenever 521 00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:13,960 Speaker 1: I asked the question, why do I need algebra? I'm 522 00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:16,439 Speaker 1: gonna go fix cars, Nobody ever said that to me. 523 00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:18,360 Speaker 1: While you're gonna have to check trans fluid in forty years, 524 00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:20,280 Speaker 1: and is how you're gonna do it? I believe me. 525 00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:23,960 Speaker 1: In my trans electrician I used I quite a miss. Yeah, so, 526 00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:26,080 Speaker 1: but um I would try and change the fluid a 527 00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:30,240 Speaker 1: little more often, and excellent idea, also approach. I didn't 528 00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:31,920 Speaker 1: even think of that. That's why I you're the man, 529 00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:35,040 Speaker 1: the imagine one. And that answer was like I couldn't 530 00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:38,080 Speaker 1: even have think of thought on it that way, you know, 531 00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:41,080 Speaker 1: easy peasy, all right. But I'll tell you it's what. 532 00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:44,320 Speaker 1: It's beautiful. It's shifts like a dream. It's like a Cadillac. 533 00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:46,720 Speaker 1: And that's why I really got its name, Texas Cadilla. 534 00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:48,919 Speaker 1: Well listen, you know we're we're we're we're taking the 535 00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:50,879 Speaker 1: weather report today real quick before I let you go, 536 00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:55,239 Speaker 1: what's what's the temperature down there in Texas today? How 537 00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:58,000 Speaker 1: much snow you have? We didn't have any of this 538 00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:00,520 Speaker 1: past punch, but about two weeks ago we had about 539 00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:03,160 Speaker 1: two inches. Chucky. I don't want to talk to you anymore. Today. 540 00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:07,679 Speaker 1: It's it's seven degrees here in New Jersey.

Zero zero. We're back right after this. Welcome 548 00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:34,240 Speaker 1: back on a name, New car Doctor's gonna talk to 549 00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:36,440 Speaker 1: Mike from Danilla, New Jersey. Mike, Welcome to the car doctor, 550 00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:38,840 Speaker 1: Sir Ryan, it's always a pleasure. How are you doing? 551 00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:41,000 Speaker 1: You two serve very good? What's going on? Oh? I 552 00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:44,440 Speaker 1: just so curious is to what's going on today with 553 00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:47,760 Speaker 1: the various numbers of cars that are out here, in 554 00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:50,440 Speaker 1: the types of cars, with the different types of huel 555 00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:54,719 Speaker 1: injection and turbo charging and I just don't know if 556 00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:57,960 Speaker 1: people can keep up with this technology, different types of 557 00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:02,800 Speaker 1: hybrids and semi hybrids, and you never know quite what 558 00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:06,760 Speaker 1: to think and what to do. And I was just 559 00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:11,600 Speaker 1: curious as to what you thought about regular fuel injected 560 00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:15,280 Speaker 1: cars versus the g d I and then if there 561 00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:18,800 Speaker 1: was a difference in taking care of them. I think 562 00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:21,480 Speaker 1: I think there's a I think there's a huge difference, Mike. 563 00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:26,120 Speaker 1: I think that the problem is and I think I 564 00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:31,200 Speaker 1: think auto repair, the challenges of auto repair differ by region, 565 00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:34,000 Speaker 1: all right. You know what, what I deal with the 566 00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:36,640 Speaker 1: New Jersey is very different than the guy in Iowa, 567 00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:38,920 Speaker 1: than the guy in Florida, than the guy in Texas 568 00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:42,160 Speaker 1: and so long. Um, And I think it's based also 569 00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:47,880 Speaker 1: upon economic conditions. I think it's based upon, you know, um, 570 00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:50,320 Speaker 1: just where we are and and and how we want 571 00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:53,360 Speaker 1: to control it in parts, availability, and and and just 572 00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:57,480 Speaker 1: just just so many outside factors. It used to be 573 00:29:57,560 --> 00:30:02,080 Speaker 1: so much simpler working on car is because you know, 574 00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:05,440 Speaker 1: you know, the biggest video secrecy of Ford had over 575 00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:08,480 Speaker 1: a Chevy was the vacuum advance inside. The distributor of 576 00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:10,560 Speaker 1: a Ford had a little Alan screw, a little three 577 00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:12,320 Speaker 1: and a half millimeter around screw. You turn the Alan 578 00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:14,520 Speaker 1: screw and play with the advance that way, and you 579 00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:16,200 Speaker 1: know that was the you know, that was the wow, 580 00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:20,280 Speaker 1: that was like real technology. Then today you know, it's 581 00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:22,960 Speaker 1: all it's all kinds of difference in I mean, and 582 00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:27,560 Speaker 1: it changes daily. It changes daily. That's the problem. So 583 00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:30,920 Speaker 1: you know, you get people talking about and looking at 584 00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:33,680 Speaker 1: how to repair a car one day one way, and 585 00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:35,360 Speaker 1: the next day it's different. Now that you have to 586 00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:37,160 Speaker 1: re educate them all over again. And I don't I 587 00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:40,080 Speaker 1: don't know if people are capable of that. Well, for example, 588 00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:42,520 Speaker 1: you know that turbo motor that's in the Mustang the 589 00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:47,960 Speaker 1: two point three, if you I had read that somewhere, 590 00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:53,000 Speaker 1: if you uh have it in the highest gear and 591 00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:55,680 Speaker 1: you tromp on it, you can load the engine up 592 00:30:55,680 --> 00:31:00,120 Speaker 1: with gas. And somehow that they're blowing turbos on these 593 00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:03,560 Speaker 1: engines because of that, well, I have to see the report, 594 00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:06,040 Speaker 1: but my answer would be also, if that's really happening, 595 00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:08,320 Speaker 1: they could probably figure out a way to make software 596 00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:11,880 Speaker 1: correct the condition and a reflesh and you know, and 597 00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:14,000 Speaker 1: that's you know, but then again, as the person is 598 00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:15,760 Speaker 1: gonna be smart enough to take it into a mechanic 599 00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:17,800 Speaker 1: to let him fix it. I mean, I still talk 600 00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:22,400 Speaker 1: to people every week that we're still talking about. I 601 00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:26,400 Speaker 1: think maybe feels like what it could have should have. 602 00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:29,280 Speaker 1: You know, I'm guilty of it. I'll say, well, it 603 00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:31,920 Speaker 1: feels like this, but in my mind, I'm going feels 604 00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:33,920 Speaker 1: like this, I'm gonna have to drag out fourteen pieces 605 00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:37,080 Speaker 1: of equipment and diagnose something. And of course, you you 606 00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:41,080 Speaker 1: know I don't drive obviously, right, Um, But I sit 607 00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:43,200 Speaker 1: there and I listen to Carls go by, and I'm 608 00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:47,280 Speaker 1: saying to myself, this guy needs this work and if 609 00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:50,560 Speaker 1: I can hear it, there's got to be something to it. 610 00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:54,080 Speaker 1: I think, well, and I think the problem there is, 611 00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:57,960 Speaker 1: you know, I think you can judge, and maybe it's 612 00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:00,400 Speaker 1: not a fair thing to say or think, but I 613 00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:04,320 Speaker 1: think you can judge how that person is doing in 614 00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:10,120 Speaker 1: life to a degree by the soundness of their car. Yeah. 615 00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:13,200 Speaker 1: You know, well that's listen, that's a whole another, that's 616 00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:15,160 Speaker 1: a whole, another story. There are some cars I wouldn't 617 00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:18,160 Speaker 1: get into it without a bio hazard suit. But you know, 618 00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:19,760 Speaker 1: we had a car. We had a car just two 619 00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:23,080 Speaker 1: weeks ago that was thirteen thousand miles overdue its oil change. 620 00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:25,160 Speaker 1: It had a valve knocked, It had a valve rattle 621 00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:28,000 Speaker 1: to it. Um, you know, and it actually affected the 622 00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:31,479 Speaker 1: way the car was running. The car ran badly, and 623 00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:33,760 Speaker 1: and you know, we we changed the oil. We did 624 00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:35,960 Speaker 1: some other service work and they were stunned. They said, Wow, 625 00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:39,080 Speaker 1: it feels like a new car. And I, you know, 626 00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:43,120 Speaker 1: it's so simple to do basic maintenance. But we as 627 00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:46,600 Speaker 1: human beings, we fall into denial. And I always say 628 00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:48,600 Speaker 1: that denial is more than a river in Egypt might 629 00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:50,320 Speaker 1: come up against that. The clock is gonna take me. 630 00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:52,400 Speaker 1: I gotta cut your short, babe. But it's always a 631 00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:55,120 Speaker 1: pleasure and happy New Year to you and yours. Keep 632 00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:58,760 Speaker 1: them coming. Hey, five five zero zero. We're back right 633 00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:05,440 Speaker 1: after this. And as we wind down the final minutes 634 00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:08,040 Speaker 1: of today's show, running in car doctor here, UM, just 635 00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:11,640 Speaker 1: a couple of thoughts. Uh, you know winter weather. It's January, 636 00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:14,600 Speaker 1: it's cold and seven degrees here. It's called everywhere else 637 00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:16,120 Speaker 1: in the country. I've decided I never want to move 638 00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:19,560 Speaker 1: to Minnesota. You know, when Paul the Master Vortex said 639 00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:22,600 Speaker 1: it just broke zero, I went, you know, I couldn't 640 00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:26,000 Speaker 1: imagine that on a constant everyday basis. But some tips 641 00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:28,160 Speaker 1: from the car doctor on how to stay warm. You 642 00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:30,560 Speaker 1: know what there is there is some real good things 643 00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:32,840 Speaker 1: about YouTube, and there's a lot of good things about YouTube. 644 00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:35,320 Speaker 1: Let's go break out a couple of clips from American graffiti. 645 00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:37,280 Speaker 1: Let's go watch that must be your Mama's car. Do 646 00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:40,800 Speaker 1: a little cruising visa v video on YouTube. Always fun 647 00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:43,080 Speaker 1: to do. We're only four months away from cruising, folks. 648 00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:45,440 Speaker 1: So um, if you got their hot rod and winter storage, 649 00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:47,200 Speaker 1: would be a good time to start thinking about working 650 00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:49,200 Speaker 1: on it. Maybe take the cover off, look at it. 651 00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:51,480 Speaker 1: If you haven't started in a while, maybe you know, 652 00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:53,400 Speaker 1: started up, warm it up, let it run for fifteen 653 00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:55,960 Speaker 1: twenty minutes, and put it back to sleep again. Because 654 00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:58,440 Speaker 1: we're more than halfway or we're just about halfway through 655 00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:01,880 Speaker 1: the winter slumber. So um. And as far as car 656 00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:05,120 Speaker 1: tips for everybody else, these out from the Car Care Council, 657 00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:07,760 Speaker 1: and they do make a lot of sense. The Car 658 00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:09,839 Speaker 1: Care Council is nonprofit and they're just here to help 659 00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:12,040 Speaker 1: you take care of your car. There's more information available 660 00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:14,680 Speaker 1: um at their website, which I guess I should have 661 00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:16,200 Speaker 1: in front of me, which I believe is car here 662 00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:19,399 Speaker 1: dot Org. Yes, that's correct. UM, talk about the gas tank. 663 00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:22,480 Speaker 1: You know, we we we talk about problems with fuel today. 664 00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:25,240 Speaker 1: We talked about problems with gasoline today. Keeping the gas 665 00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:28,480 Speaker 1: tank half full. That prevents problems of moisture forming in 666 00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:31,520 Speaker 1: the gas lines and freezing and also prevents you know, 667 00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:33,960 Speaker 1: running out of gas, which obviously is important, especially in 668 00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:37,120 Speaker 1: cold weather. Tire pressure. I can't say enough about tire pressure. 669 00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:40,239 Speaker 1: I have had a week of tire pressure. I can't 670 00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:42,879 Speaker 1: say the word, but it's been just tire pressure. It's 671 00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:44,880 Speaker 1: been really tough this week with tire pressure. One day 672 00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:46,600 Speaker 1: it's twenty, the next day at zero, the next day 673 00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:49,600 Speaker 1: it's forty. It's just been all over the place. Exhaust 674 00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:51,800 Speaker 1: is them. You know, if you're driving a Toyota with 675 00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:54,440 Speaker 1: a front exhaust pipe flex pipe that's cracked and you're 676 00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:58,399 Speaker 1: ignoring that check engine light in the zero and they're 677 00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:00,399 Speaker 1: out there and we see them a lot. Just any 678 00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:02,440 Speaker 1: car with a flex pipe, any car with an exhaust leak. 679 00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:04,680 Speaker 1: You know, it's wintertime, you're sitting at a traffic light 680 00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:08,480 Speaker 1: with the windows rolled up. Uh, you know, it's it's 681 00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:11,680 Speaker 1: just something to think about. So just be aware of that. UM. 682 00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:13,759 Speaker 1: You know, think about fuel line anti freeze. Yeah, they 683 00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:16,120 Speaker 1: still make fuel line anty freeze. Um, you'll find it 684 00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:18,920 Speaker 1: at your local O'Reilly Ota parts. You can get it there. Um. 685 00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:21,920 Speaker 1: Some good fuel tips there, some good fuel system cleaners 686 00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:24,799 Speaker 1: and tanks stabilizers there as well. Um. You want to 687 00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:27,080 Speaker 1: think about you know, are you using the right viscosity 688 00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:29,279 Speaker 1: oil in your car? Make sure you are, especially this 689 00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:31,759 Speaker 1: time of year at an emergency kit would have been 690 00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:33,480 Speaker 1: a great holiday gift. Good time to bring it up on. 691 00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:36,160 Speaker 1: But in general, just be aware we're out there driving 692 00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:38,560 Speaker 1: in real cold weather. Until the next time I'm run 693 00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:41,600 Speaker 1: any in the car. Doctor, mechanics aren't expensive, they're priceless. 694 00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:42,239 Speaker 1: See U.
